Retired Teachers Die PROFESSOR Harold Eugene Botsford '18, Poultry Husbandry, Emeritus, died October 4, 1958, in Denver, Colo., where he and Mrs. Botsford were visiting members of their family. Professor Benjamin Percy Young, PhD '19, Zoology, Emeritus, died October 10, and Professor Earl Sunderville '08, Veterinary Anatomy, Emeritus, died November 4, both in Ithaca. Professor Botsford was seventy Professor Young, seventy-one and Professor Sunderville, seventy-two. Professor Botsford retired in 1952 after thirty-six years of teaching poultry farm management and construction. He was co-author with the late Professor James E. Rice '90 of Practical Poultry Management, wrote The Economics of Poultry Management and numerous Cornell bulletins, and contributed to many books and publications on poultry. Before coming to Cornell, Professor Botsford attended Connecticut Agricultural College, managed a poultry farm in Connecticut, and taught high school agriculture in Massachusetts. In 1915, he entered the College of Agriculture here, receiving the BS three years later. He was appointed assistant in Poultry Husbandry in 1916, Extension instructor in 1918, assistant professor in 1920, and Extension professor in 1925. He did special work for the US Department of Agriculture, studying consumer preference for eggs and as a marketing specialist for the War Food Administration. He had also been an investigator for Package Research Laboratory, Inc., Rockaway, N.J., making coast-to-coast trips by air, and was manager of the information division of Pacific Egg Producers, New York City, for fifteen months. From 1933-37, he was chairman of the Northeastern* Poultry Producers Council egg marketing committee.

Law School and the Graduate School of Business & Public Administration each have eighteen fewer students than last fall. More new students entered the graduate divisions this fall than a year ago, but the Freshman Class is smaller by eighty-six. The total of new students in Ithaca is 3117 as compared with 3165 last fall. The Graduate School had 636 new students (increased 45 )5 Law School 62 (9 more), Business & Public Administration 66 (2 more than last fall). Class of '62 numbers 2147 according to the Registrar, 1561 men and 586 women. This compares with 2233 Freshmen last fall, 1659 men and 574 women. Arts & Sciences had 705 Freshmen, 91 fewer than last fall; Engineering, 531, which was 79 fewer; and the other divisions had more: Agriculture 492 (up 48), Home Economics 190 (up 17), Hotel Administration with 90 and Architecture with 72 each had 8 more; Industrial & Labor Relations with 67 has 3 more than last fall's entering Class. University is International Herbert H. Williams '25, Director of Admissions, reports that new students came to the undergraduate divisions from every State except Wyoming and 112 came from US Territories and foreign countries. Forty-seven per cent came from outside of New York State, a slightly larger proportion than last fall when the percentage was 42. From the State outside New York City came 1029 new undergraduates; from New York City, 333; New Jersey, 176; Pennsylvania, 170; Illinois, 81; Ohio, 68; Massachusetts, 65; Connecticut, 43; Maryland, 38; California, 25. Other States with ten or more new students are Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, New Hampshire, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The Admissions Office received 8669 completed applications for the Freshman Class of '62. Of these applicants, 4086 were accepted by the Faculty admission committees, but 1946 of them did not appear, so 2140 Freshmen are counted as admitted. Applications of 3453 students were rejected and 1130 withdrew their applications with no action taken on them. This year, 590 children of Cornellians applied for admission as Freshmen and 72 per cent of them were accepted, as compared with 47 per cent of all Freshman applicants. Thirty-two per cent of the alumni children who were accepted withdrew to go elsewhere, as compared with 48 per cent of all accepted applicants. Twenty-one per cent of this year's Freshmen came from private schools 26 232 per cent of those who entered the endowed divisions and 12 per cent of those in the State Colleges. Last year, 24 per cent of the Freshmen came from private schools. Offer Management Seminars SCHOOL of Industrial & Labor Relations has issued a booklet describing its 1959 Management Seminars in Effective Executive Leadership.

Consider New Dormitories ANNOUNCEMENT was made, October 20, that the University is considering the erection of additional housing for 1000 students. It has engaged architects to make preliminary studies of sites and plans for a dormitory for 450 men, another for 450 women, and additional quarters for 100 married students, at estimated cost of $6,000,000. Consideration is being given to putting the new men's dormitory north of Clara Dickson Hall, where women are housed, and to providing dining rooms there for both men and women. Last summer, the University purchased about sixty-four acres of the Country Club of Ithaca golf course north of the women's dormitory area and a new clubhouse has been built on Pleasant Grove Road and the course is being moved farther east and north. New apartments for married students will probably be built near the the present Pleasant Grove Apartments above Forest Home. These will accommodate 200 families and there is demand for many more. Vice President for Student Affairs John Summerskill told about the dormitory plans at a meeting of his Student Advisory Committee. Dean of Men Frank C. Baldwin '22 will head a staff study of the living and academic aspects of dormitory planning and Hadley S. DePuy, Associate Dean of Men, will work with a committee to be appointed by the Student Council. Milton R. Shaw '34, Director of Residential Halls, says there is pressing need for more good quality housing, especially for women and married students, and David B. Williams '43, Counselor to Foreign Students, says that more housing is needed for those who come from abroad. A committee to plan the new housing has Vice President Summerskill and Director Shaw with John E. Burton, Vice President-Business, Controller Arthur H. Peterson, MA '34, and John W. Humphreys '36, Superintendent of Design & Construction in the Buildings & Properties Department. Summerskill said the dormitories will be designed to provide quiet, attractive rooms for work and study and also to promote the social development of student groups. "The real problem," he said, "is to plan dormitories that our students can afford and which effectively meet their educational and social needs." Cornell Alumni News On the Sporting Side - Bi| "Sidelined Football Hopes Tumble BROWN AND DARTMOUTH blasted high aspirations for football, but this is nevertheless the first winning season since 1954, whatever the outcome of the Penn game on Thanksgiving Day. The Varsity soccer team has a good chance to win the Ivy League championship and the Freshman cross country team won the ICAAAA title, November 17. So the fall season has been a successful one. Thomas J. Skypeck '59, quarterback, has been the key to success, or lack of it, for the Varsity football team. When his passes hit home, the team usually won. When he was off, the team was off. The Dartmouth game did not follow quite this pattern, for Skypeck performed pretty well but Dartmouth was too strong. Brown 12, Cornell 8 Only the force of fortunate circumstances and an occasional impervious Cornell defense kept the home score from being larger in the Brown stadium, November 8. The Providence boys, under the influence of corn roasted a la Alva E. Kelley '41 upended, distended, and ingloriously uprooted the presentday wearers of the Red Kelley mantle and left them deflated, defeated, and in a three-way tie for the Ivy League lead. Their hold on the exalted first place for the preceding weeks appeared to have been a snare and a delusion. Varsity is Outplayed Brown was "souped-up," alert, determined; inconceivably a team that had lost its three previous Ivy games. Its slanting defense broke the spell of Cornell's slot-T offense that had enjoyed impeccable success in its four prior Ivy encounters and one of its other two contests. The accurate throwing arm of Frank Finney, Brown quarterback, gave the lie to the build-up of the game as "a duel between the best throwing quarterbacks in the League." Finney was magical Tom Skypeck, tragical. Finney completed ten of twenty passes and called a perfect game. Skypeck, a gem up until now, had a dismal day. He completed one of thirteen passes, had bad luck in his strategy, and was harrassed unmercifully by a sturdy Brown line. And without a keen Skypeck there was little for the Red to offer. John W. Webster '59 got the Cornell cause off to a winging start when he very cutely anticipated a first-period lateral pass by Quarterback Finney, intended for Bob Carlin. Webster gathered it in on the 29 and raced seventy-one yards for the TD without danger of a spoiler. Skypeck's pass to Webster made the count 8-0. This did not seem to dampen the well insulated Brown spirit. The home team took the ball, ran it, passed it, went eighty-eight yards and had a TD in 5:20 of the second period. Fullback Paul Choquette's running was so compulsive he was never stopped. He rushed 104 yards in 16 carries for a 6.5 average. His fortyyard sprint up the middle was a sparkler in the first touchdown drive. He is a nephew of the famous Brown football brothers, Bill and Tom Gilbane. But even with Choquette's running and the merciless pounding the bigger Brown line was giving the Red forward wall, the Cornellians almost stopped the drive. For three downs they yielded only four yards when the ball was on the 11. But on fourth down the Cornell defensive signal caller, knowing a pass had to be called, signalled for an intensive rush. Finney just tossed a gentle, floating pass over the onrushing heads to Ray Barry who blithely ran it over unmolested. The Brownies had another long drive of eighty yards a few minutes later and again the Cornells got tough. Brown went to the 5, got no farther, were thrown back to the 7, and on fourth down tried a field goal which went awry. Pass Interception Caps It An interception of a Skypeck pass led to the other TD. It was the first pass Tommy had had intercepted up to then. Captain Don Warburton, all-Ivy center, gathered it in, lateralled to the bull, Choquette, who churned out thirty-seven yards and put the ball on the Red 49. Edward J. Savitsky '59, brilliant Red tackle, stopped him. It was his first play after earlier receiving a gash on the forehead which required four stitches. Savitsky also has an injured hip and a twisted knee as partial atonement for his sins. Despite the less-than-sharp showing of his mates, Savitsky was superb in a losing performance. So was Halfback Philip G.Taylor'60. Brown went on to score in the next six plays after the interception. It came on a long pass which was caught simultaneously by Skypeck and Bob Carlin. At least the field judge, Everett Hebel, ruled that it was simultaneous and in that circumstance the offensive team gets the benefit. Skypeck was obviously incensed, but Judge Hebel was not impressed. "Distinguished Military Students"—These five Seniors of the Varsity football team have been designated "Distinguished Military Students" for high academic grades and "outstanding leadership ability in the discharge of ROTG duties." They are all cadet officers. From left, with Coach George K. James and Colonel William H. Allen, Jr., US Army, ROTC Commandant, are Major John W. Webster of Philadelphia, Pa., halfback; Lieutenant Colonel David R. Dunlop of Roselle Park, N.J., tackle; Captain Bruce W. Pfann of Ithaca, end; Captain Richard Reifschneider of Omaha, Nebr., end; and Colonel Edward J. Savitsky of Mary-D, Pa., tackle and regimental commander. Dartmouth 32, Cornell 15 This game sealed the doom of the grandiose hopes for the Ivy championship. The defeat by Brown had not been, then, just a natural let-down after several fine performances. No, the Brown game was quite evidently a step on the way down from stellar form, reached at mid-season against Princeton, which December L 1958 233 was still deteriorating. The Dartmouth meeting confirmed it. November 15 was a bad day, weatherwise as well as otherwise. It rained all day Saturday and it rained on Thursday and Friday, but there were 16,000 there nevertheless. Schoellkopf Field was sodden but it never slowed down the Dartmouth attack especially it did not interfere with Jake Crouthamel, strong halfback who ran fifteen times and made 140 yards. He had three touchdown runs, two of three yards and the other fifty-eight yards. He ran a punt back fifty-four yards to set up the second touchdown. Cornell Helps Foe Dartmouth is a strong team and it got too much help from its unlucky foe on this bleak afternoon. Its first two touchdowns were cheap ones. Terrance M. Wilson '59 fumbled on the 31 and the Green recovered. A few plays later, Grouthamel scored, at 7:12. At 10:01 Grouthamel got another, and early in the second period the Dartmouths in nine quick plays made seventy-eight yards and another TD. So it was 18-0. But the Red players still had plenty of fight. The rugged Green had stopped four previous tries at putting together a drive, but Tom Skypeck started to throw and he threw well. In seven plays, the Red went sixty-seven yards for a score and two of those were aerials to End John J. Sadusky '60 and another toGaptain Robert D. Hazzard '59, halfback. Sadusky's second catch, a beauty, took him to the 1. Terry Wilson took it over, but only after Skypeck had tried the Green forward wall three times. With the count 18-7 there was still hope, especially knowing the dramatic history of the Dartmouth series. But hope faded when the irrespressible Crouthamel went fifty-eight yards for another touchdown after being apparently stopped on the line of scrimmage. He whirled away from two Cornell tacklers and scampered the rest of the way untouched. But even with the score 24-7, Cornell took the ball down the field fifty-seven yards. A Skypeck pass to End F. Norman Juvonen '59 put the ball on the 8. With four downs to make eight yards, Skypeck threw on first down and Jim Henander, Dartmouth halfback, intercepted and it was all over. Marcello A. Tino '61, Skypeck's replacement, threw a pretty pass which was intercepted by Rozycki, who ran seventy yards, and the score was 30-7. Skypeck threw a dandy to Halfback George W. Bogar '59 for the final score at 11:27 of the last period. It went for forty-three yards. Dartmouth did not throw a pass. It did not have to. It gained consistently, fumbled but once, and never took a chance. Cornell's first-string center, R. Edwin Maglisceau '60, suffered a concussion in the opening play. He tackled Croutha- mel on the kick-off return and played no more. Skypeck performed well. He com- pleted fifteen of twenty-eight passes for 177 yards and made one touchdown. Strangely, Cornell led in first downs, 16-12, and in yards gained, 260-246. The series is 21-20-1 in favor of Cornell. Cornell has not won since Coach Bob Blackman came to Hanover, four years ago.

In an explosive second quarter, the Red gained the lead twice before the young Raiders made it 20-14 at halftime. David W. Clayton of Patchogue, a third-string fullback, was the star for the Red team. This Mercersburg School product was put in after Jack R. Smoot of Mt. Clemens, Mich, was injured in the first few minutes and his replacement, Gerald F. Page of Athens, Pa., broke his wrist. Clayton tore things apart. The 5-foot-8-inch, 180-pound Clayton, the left-handed quarterback, David E. McKelvey of Montclair, N.J., George G. Telesh of Clifton, N.J., whose receiving of McKelvey's passes was superb, and Kenneth J. Kavensky of Bulgar, Pa. were fine backs. They need more help up front. A common deficiency lately seems to be sustaining itself. The Cornell line was weaker and smaller than the opposition. Colgate had two units, both very strong. The Cornell first unit stacked up pretty well, but the reserves found it difficult. The Freshmen have won one in four. Colgate was undefeated until it lost to Syracuse 20-12, November 14. Other Sports A 4-0 DEFEAT of Dartmouth on rainsoaked Upper Alumni Field, November 15, maintained Cornell's lead in the Ivy Soccer League. Cornell is 4-1. Harvard (3-1-1) defeated the Red, October 4, and Princeton defeated Harvard, November 8. Cornell had only to play Penn at Philadelphia, November 27, and Harvard, Yale, November 22. Captain Adalberto M. Stratta '59 of Rome, Italy, center forward, scored twice against Dartmouth in the second period, at 15:40 and 20:55. He was assisted on a goal by Rafael A. Alfaro '61 of El Salvador at 2:15 of the fourth and joined Ronald P. Maierhofer '60 of Buffalo in assisting on a goal by Charles A. Steidel '61 of Washington, D.C. at 4:23 of the fourth. Clive S. Beckford '60 of Jamaica, BWI, played his usual outstanding game at center half. Alfaro played against his twin brother, Jamie, who was outside left for Dartmouth. The previous week, Brown was beaten by the Red at Providence, 3-1. Maierhofer, Alfaro, and Stratta each scored one. Freshman soccer team closed its season, November 14, on Upper Alumni Field with an 8-1 victory over Corning Community College. This was a week after Colgate was beaten 3-0 on the same field. The season showed a 6-2 record. Cross Country Season Ends Cross-country team lost the cham- pionship of the Heptagonal Games Association to Army, scoring sixth at Van Cortlandt Park, New York City, November 7. Ten days later on the same five-mije course, the Varsity scored fifteenth among forty-four teams in the Intercollegiates. The Freshman team finished an undefeated season by winning the three-mile race in the latter meet. Joel K. Heine of Malverne led the Cornell yearlings, in fourth place. He was followed by Eric P. Groon, twelfth John C. Munday, twenty-first; William F. Arnst, thirty-first; and Paul B. Deignan, thirty-fifth. Team score was 94, leading St. Joseph's 99. Varsity Co-captain Nathaniel J. Cravener '59 took third place in the Hep- 234 Cornell Alumni News tagonals race with 25:27.3, the secondfastest time ever made by a Cornellian on the Van Gortlandt course. David G. Eckel '58 ran it in 25:02 in the Intercollegiates last year. Army scored 32, Yale 84, Navy 85, Brown 135, Harvard 138, Cornell 144, Pennsylvania 175, Princeton 184, Columbia 202, Dartmouth 238. Michigan State won the Intercollegiate varsity race with 76 to 107 for second-running Notre Dame. Ivy Leaguers ahead of Cornell were Yale, Brown, and Princeton. Brandywine of Pennsylvania and Fairfield Polo Club of Connecticut were guests of the Varsity polo team in the Riding Hall, November 8 & 15. Brandywine was beaten, 17-8; Fairfield, 19-17. Peter D. Baldwin '59 had brilliant scoring success in both games. He scored 10 goals against Brandywine, 13 against Fairfield. Varsity sailing team finished ninth in the Middle Atlantic Dinghy Championships at Annapolis, Md., November 15& 16. Cornell, with 193, finished behind Boston (308), Brown, Michigan, Navy, Georgetown, Colgate, Princeton, Fordham and ahead of Wayne, Penn, Kings Point, Haverford, and Webb Academy. Lightweights Beat Columbia The 150-pound football team defeated Columbia, 24-2 2, on Lower Alumni Field, November 8. It was not quite the battle the score seems to indicate. For with three minutes to go, it was 24-6 for the Red and Coach Robert L. Cullen emptied his bench, gave everyone a chance, but it turned out to be a chance for the Lions. They scored two TDs in this short period, the last just as the gun sounded. Cornell jumped to an early lead when Ronald R. Levine '61 of Poughkeepsie broke off-tackle on the third play of the game and scooted fortynine yards for a touchdown. Captain Eugene J. Shea '61 of Summit, N.J., made it 12-0 later in the period. Columbia whittled it to a 12-6 margin in the second period and the third period was scoreless. A recovered fumble in the end zone made it 18-6, and a pass by Michael H. Kaufman '60 to Shea for fifteen yards brought it to 24-6. Cornell's record, with Penn left to play, November 22, was 2-3. Columbia had lost five games. Gives Swimming Trophy Dr. David N. Epstein '51 has provided an annual award for "the Varsity swimming team member who shall achieve outstanding individual performance." A plaque in the Teagle Hall swimming pool room will have the names of winners and each will receive an inscribed key. Dr. Epstein became a leading backstroker of the swimming team and was a member of the medley relay team that still holds the 300-yard record. In the Air Force, he swam in sev- eral international meets. He is a dentist in Ithaca. Winter Sports BUSIEST SEASON of winter sports in the University's history is encompassed in the schedules announced by the Athletic Office. They include for the first time a home-and-home series in the Ivy Hockey League running from December 5 to March 7, made possible by Lynah Hall. The basketball team will take part in the Eastern College Athletic Conference Holiday Festival Friday, Saturday, and Monday after Christmas in Madison Square Garden, New York City. It will open against University of Utah and the elimination tournament will also include Dayton, Holy Cross, Niagara, St. Johns, St. Josephs, and Syracuse.

"Japes55 Reincarnated JOHNNY PARSON CLUB on Beebe Lake, torn down after Noyes Lodge opened, will be partly used for an outdoor recreation center. The foundation, all that remains of the former two-story building, is being roofed over for storage space for canoes and winter sports, washroom facilities, and a cedar-panelled meeting room with fireplace and windows facing Beebe Lake. This room will be headquarters for the Outing Club and may be used by other groups. The new center, which is expected to be ready in January, will be directed by Willard Straight Hall and the Outing Club and operated by students. John A. Peters, architect in the December 1, 1958 235 Department of Buildings & Properties, designed the remodelling. The Johnny Parson Club was replaced last spring as a dining facility and recreation center by Noyes Lodge, the gift of Trustee Emeritus Nicholas H. Noyes '06 and his brother, Jansen Noyes '10. "Japes," as the Club was affectionately known to students, was erected by the Athletic Association and opened Christmas Day, 1932. It was designed by Roger D. MacPherson '21, who won a competition for students in Architecture, and built by Jes J. Dall [Ί6] Construction Co, It was named for the late Professor John T. Parson '99, Civil Engineering, because of his interest in winter sports at the University. Last in Chicago Golf CORNELL TEAM placed eighth in the annual Ivy League alumni golf tournament, September 12, at the Bob-O-Link Golf Club, Highland Park, 111. Meade Montgomery '24 and Shirley Hulse, Jr. '37 represented the Cornell Club of Chicago and had a combined score of 166. The tournament was won for the second year in a row by Dartmouth, with a score of 150. Tied for second with 154 were Yale and Columbia, followed by Pennsylvania, 155; Harvard, 157; Princeton, 163; and Brown, 164. New Pictorial Calendar A CORNELL CALENDAR for 1959 is pub- lished by Dryden Rural News, reviving a custom that has lapsed in recent years. This has an attractive red cover and twelve Campus pictures by Photo Science Studios on the monthly calendar pages. Measuring ten by fourteen inches, it is made to hang on the wall and is sold by the Campus Store in Barnes Hall at $1.95, postpaid. Students Remodel A City EIGHT graduate students in City & Regional Planning, working under supervision of Professor Kermit C. Parsons, MRP '53, are preparing a plan to improve the outmoded business section of Gary., Ind. Their work is sponsored by a committee of city officials and businessmen from Gary in the hope that it will result in some action to modernize the downtown area. George N. Hall '28, a Gary architect, is a member of the committee and has been a leader in raising money for the project. The city was designed and built fifty-one years ago for a population of 25,000. It now has 175,000 residents and the outlook is for an increase of 76 per cent from 1950 to 1980. The students have spent four days in Gary this fall, interviewing residents and observing the problems at first hand. They will build a model of the revised city and make a detailed report of their plans. Although it is unlikely that any immediate action will be taken on the students' proposals, Gary businessmen hope that the project will stimulate thinking by the city planners. The stu- dents are David Brandon of Westminster, Vt.; Walter J. Johnson '52 of Ithaca; Hitoshi Mogi of Kamakura City, Japan; Tavon Pollachan of Bangkok, Thailand; Keith Rogers of San Diego, G a l ; Nid H. Shiranan '58 of Dhonburi, Thailand; Eric Svenson '55 of Weston, Conn.; and Anthony Toth of New Brunswick, N.J.

Anderson '59 of Buffalo, Gerald A. Bracco '60 of New York City, and Donald P. Woodward '60 of Larchmont. Intramural football competition waxed hot and heavy on upper Alumni Field in October and November during the late afternoon hours, Monday through Thursday. The rules were a bit different from the accustomed Saturday afternoon variety seen on Schoellkopf Field, but the enthusiasm of the participants was exceptional; if the mud-caked shoes and trousers of the participants in the twilight activities can serve as evidence. Instead of eleven men, there are eight: five linemen and three backs. Defenders "touch" with two hands the ball carrier, rather than tackle. Offensive blockers must remain upright while providing interference for the runner. First downs decide the final outcome if the score is tied. Certain other niceties are involved when a punting situation develops, but the details aren't too important. Test of a student's courage (?) is often provided on field-goal defensive efforts; did you ever block a kick with no pads? Oh, yes; the extra point is only one, regardless of how acquired. Sigma Chi won the intramural fraternity football crown, edging Sigma Phi Epsilon, 6-0, in the finals, November 13. Touchdown was registered on the successful completion of a forward pass from Patrick T. Kurtz '58, fifth-year student in Chemical Engineering of Derry, Pa., to Richard S. Ewing '60 of Livingston, N.J. The play was helped by an unidentified Sig Ep defensive man who deflected the ball into Ewing's arms. In the semifinals, Sigma Chi downed Delta Upsilon, 9-7, in the last two minutes. A scoring pass from Thomas W. Bennet '59 of Cincinnati, Ohio, to Ewing pushed the Sigma Chi team into the finals. Sigma Phi Epsilon defeated Theta Xi in the other bracket semifinals. Cornell Engineer came away with a king-sized share of honors from the annual convention of Engineering College Magazines Associated held in Denver, Colo., recently. John M. Walsh III '58 of Gary, Ind., a fifth-year student in Chemical Engineering, is editor-inchief. The Engineer won second place among forty other college engineering publications in the "Best All-around Magazine" category and received honorable mention in "Best Covers" and "Best Layout." Roy J. Lamm '60 of Tonawanda won first place for his article on "The Federal Highway Sys- tern: Its Progress and Effect." Jeffrey I. Frey '59 of Brooklyn took a runner-up prize for his "Exploring the Frozen Continent." Last year's editor, Richard G. Brandenburg '57 of Oak Park, III, won two awards for his editorials. Professor Edwin B. Watson, MS '43, Thermal Engineering, was elected vice-chairman of the magazine group at the convention. Cornell chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic fraternity, has applied to its national organization for permission to go on inactive status. President Carl P. Leubsdorf '59 of New York City cited main reason for the decision as "lack of a central focus such as a journalism school" and the fact that those interested in journalism learn about the field through their work on publications. He said that the chapter could either run as an honorary, which is contrary to its goals, or a professional fraternity, for which there seemed little purpose. The chapter has eleven undergraduate members. It was chartered in 1919. About 1500 Ithacans braved the rain to watch some 3000 marchers parade through town in observance of Veterans Day, November 11. The Pershing Rifles were judged the best military unit in the drill team category of the parade. Naval ROTC won first place in the marching unit division, followed by the Air Force ROTC. One-ton replica of a volcano, carved in ice by a group of Hotel School students, was a feature of the Dave Garroway "Today" show on NBC-TV, November 3. The "volcano" was carved in the Ithaca Ice & Coal Co. plant from a huge block made by "fusing" together twelve 300-pound cakes of ice, and taken to New York in a truck loaned by Carl J. Yengo, Law '41, an Ithaca beer distributor. Its showing on the Garroway program just before the National Hotel show was "to dramatize the art of icecarving as practiced by many famous chefs" and, incidentally, to gain mention of Hotel Ezra Cornell that students will run in Statler Hall, May 1-3. William Hetherington '59 of Staten Island, publicity director for Hotel Ezra Cornell, conceived the project. Robert N. Herkes '59 of Honolulu, Hawaii, and Frank H. Waskey, Jr. '60 of Oakville, Wash, did the carving, assisted by Irv- Officers recently elected in the Women's Athletic Association include Judy C. Rosenbaum '59 of Drexel Hill, Pa., president; Diane H. Mesmer '61 of Fayetteville and Juliann Powell '61 of Upper Darby, Pa., vice-presidents; Nancy B. Hislop '61 of Jenkintown, Pa., treasurer. The WAA field hockey team defeated Elmira and Ithaca College by decisive scores and tied Wells College. Sally D. Wilkins '62 of Belmont, Mass. is the team's top scorer. Margaret V. Chow '61 of Baltimore, Md., star of the Dramatic Club's Fall Week End show, "Bell, Book and Candle," played Lotus Blossom in "Tea House of the August Moon" at the Playhouse in Kennebunkport, Me., last summer. Notice of the demolition of Boardman Hall for the new Research Library led to this amusing remark by Professor Frederick G. Marcham, PhD '26, History. He commented that "They (the administration) are doing away with six classrooms, and where will they put these students that presently use the Boardman Hall classrooms without extending their work day?" He noted, with a twinkle in his eye, that "One wag over there (Day Hall) pointed out that they could begin History 107 at 7 o'clock in the morning!" New vice-presidents of Student Council were elected October 28. Leonard Stark '60 of Jamaica and J. Bruce Fraser '60 of Poughkeepsie took the first and second VP posts, respectively. New boxing instructor in the Department of Physical Education & Athletics is John R. Barnwell '60 of Fairfield, Conn. Former member of the Varsity football squad (1956) and novice heavyweight boxing champion, Barnwell takes over from Professor Frederick G. Marcham, PhD '26, History, long an outstanding figure in the fisticuffs sport at the University. Chester Buchanan Memorial Scholarship of $225 was won by Heng Liong Thung '59 of Djakarta, Indonesia. The award for the outstanding male Senior majoring in Geology was established by mother of the late Chester F. M. Buchanan '32. Recipient of the H. J. Heinz Co. award of $1000 for the country's outstanding sophomore student in home economics is Carol J. West '60 of San Gabriel, Cal. The award was announced at the annual meeting of the American Dietetic Association in Philadelphia, Pa. Decemher 1, 1958 237 THE FACULTY "Report on Higher Education in the Soviet Union," by seven American university heads, including President Deane W. Malott, who visited Russia last summer, was published in November by University of Pittsburgh Press. Chancellor Edward H. Litchfield of Pittsburgh, former Dean of the Graduate School of Business & Public Administration, was chairman of the group which traveled under terms of an agreement reached last January between the United States and Russia for exchange in cultural, technical, and educational fields. New student residence at Vassar, costing $1,400,000, dedicated October 4, is the gift of Trustee Emeritus Nicholas H. Nσyes '06, Jansen Noyes ΊO, and Katherine F. Noyes in memory of their mother, Emma Hartman Noyes, Vassar '80. Nicholas and Jansen Noyes are the donors of Noyes Lodge on Beebe Lake. Lloyd H. Elliot, former executive assistant to President Malott and professor of Educational Administration, was installed, October 29, as president of University of Maine, in Orono. Cornell's representative was Professor J. Stanley Ahmann, Rural Education. "Here's How to Get Better School Cost Comparisons" by Alumni Trustee Frederic C. Wood '24 appeared in Engineering NewsRecord for September 18 and has been reprinted. Wood is a partner in Wood & Sibbert, consulting engineers, Cat Rock Road, Cos Cob, Conn. Mrs. Louise MacBeth Blood, widow of Charles H. Blood '88, for many years a Trustee of the University, died September 27, 1958, in Ithaca, where she lived at 506 Highland Road. She was assistant to Louise Brownell, Warden of Sage College, when she met Blood. Two years ago, she gave a window for Sage Chapel in his memory. Mrs. John M. Clark (Emily Blood) '30 is her daughter. Dr. Preston A. Wade '22, Clinical Surgery at the Medical College and Alumni Trustee, was elected a member of the board of regents for three years of the American College of Surgeons at its clinical congress in Chicago, 111. in October. Third annual course on Fractures and Other Trauma at the Cornell University-New York Hospital Medical Center, June 9-14, directed by Dr. Wade, had eighty-seven students, most of whom were practicing physicians and surgeons. They came from twelve States and five foreign countries. First annual Abraham Flexner Award for Distinguished Service to Medical Education was presented to Dr. Joseph C. Hinsey, Director of The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, at the annual meeting of the Association of American Medical Colleges in Philadelphia, Pa. in October. Dean John E. Deitrick of the Medical College was elected a member of the executive council of the Association. Dean of the Medical College from 1942-53, Dr. Hinsey continues as professor of Neuroanatomy there. In 1952, he served on the President's Commission on Medical Needs of the Nation. He is chair- man of the China Medical Board of New York and is on the governing boards of Memorial Hospital for Cancer & Allied Diseases and Sloan-Kettering Institute. He has been since 1942 associate editor of the Journal of Neuropathology & Experimental Neurology. The Abraham Flexner Award, established last year by the Association, is named for the director-emeritus of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. Professor Harold W. Thompson, English Literature, was honored by the New York State Folklore Society in Statler Hall, September 20. Founder of the Society's magazine, Folklore Quarterly, editor-in-chief of the magazine from 1950-55, and a former president of the Society, he was presented a copy of the publication containing tributes from friends and members of the Society. Investigations at the Research Laboratory for Diseases of Dogs have brought for the first time a reliable means of determining the age when puppies can be safely and effectively vaccinated for distemper. The process was developed by Drs. James A. Baker '40, Director of the Laboratory, Douglas S. Robson, and James H. Gillespie. Veterinarians may send serum samples taken from pregnant females to the Veterinary College diagnostic laboratory, headed by Dr. Thomas F. Benson, and receive a report on when to vaccinate the pups. Or they may send serum from a dog of any age or sex and find out whether the animal is immune to distemper, infectious hepatitis, and leptispirosis. The late Professor Frank B. Morrison, Animal Husbandry, Emeritus, was honored posthumously by the Dairy Shrine Club, a national organization that meets annually to pay tribute to dairy leaders, when the group met in Waterloo, Iowa, recently. Professor Morrison died last April 7. Herbert F. Comstock, husband of Professor Ruth Boies Comstock '27, Housing & Design, died October 20, 1958. A judge for the American Poultry Association, he had officiated at poultry shows in Canada, Bermuda, and the United States. He was secretary of the Yates County Agricultural Society. Daughter, Ann C. Comstock '60. Professor Vladimir Nabokov, Russian Literature, author of the number 1 best-seller, Lolita, spoke at a book and author luncheon at the Waldorf-Astoria, in New York City, October 27, with Fannie Hurst and Agnes De Mille. It is reported that he ignored his controversial best-seller and read a dramatic poem, "An Evening of Russian Poetry." A profile of Professor Nabokov by C. Michael Curtis '55 appeared in the Ithaca Journal, September 25. He was described as "the storm center of a literary controversy which began unobtrusively about three years ago and may eventually restore to American literature some of the classical vitality of the pre-sociological-psychological era." A daughter, Patricia Josephine, was born September 15 to Professor Rudolph Corvini, Industrial & Labor Relations, and Mrs. Corvini (Eleanor Goodman) '44, former Counselor in Industrial & Labor Relations. Mrs. Corvini is the daughter of Mrs. Clara Browning Goodman '12 and the late Professor Alpheus M. Goodman '12, Agricultural Engineering. Lieutenant Colonel Clarence N. Kennedy '41, associate professor of Military Science & Tactics since August, 1955, has reported for duty with the Eighth Army in Korea. Professor Henry E. Guerlac '32, History of Science, spoke at Wells College, Aurora, October 27, on "The Role of Science in the Formation of Certain Patterns of 18th Century Thought, and on the Thinking of Men of the French Revolution."

Coffin '12, Director of Willard Straight Hall since it opened in 1925, who retired last June, was the principal speaker at a regional meeting of the Association of College Unions at University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, November 14. He is a former president of the Association. Edgar A. Whiting '29, now Director of Willard Straight Hall, has been secretary & treasurer of the national Association since 1941. Entomologist Lectures Here MESSENGER LECTURES on "Growth and Form" were given last month by one of the world's leading entomologists, Professor V. B. Wigglesworth of Cambridge University. The six lectures, given in the new Alice Statler Auditorium, dealt with such aspects of growth and form as "The Epidermal Cell," "The Capacity for Differentiation," "Polymorphism," "The Integration of Growth," and the controlling role played by hormones. Professor Wigglesworth has been called the founder of the field of insect physiology. He is the author of Insect Physiology, The Principles of Insect Physiology, and The Physiology of Insect Metamorphosis, and has published many technical papers. A graduate of Caius College, Cambridge University, where he received the MA, MD, and BCh, Dr. Wigglesworth has been professor of biology at Cambridge since 1952 and is director of Great Britain's Agricultural Research Council Unit of Insect Physiology. He is a fellow of the Royal Society and of the Royal Entomological Society, a Commander of the British Empire, and an honorary member of entomological societies in America, India, Egypt, and The Netherlands. The Messenger Lectures on the Evolution of Civilization were endowed in 1923 with a bequest of $90,000 from the late Hiram J. Messenger '80. Addresses are in New York State unless otherwise noted. Personal items, newspaper clippings, or other notes about Cornellians are welcomed for publication. Glass columns are written by correspondents whose names appear.

'93—Abingdon Press, Nashville, Term., has published Frontier Bishop: The Life and Times of Robert Richford Roberts (1778-1843), by the Rev. Worth M. Tippy, Box 949, Laurel, Miss. '99—Clarence M. Oddie lives at 1896 Pacific Avenue, San Francisco 9, Cal. He has practiced law in San Francisco since 1900. For many years, he served as active counsel on the Pacific Coast for Union Carbide Corp., as an officer and director of its subsidiaries, and since 1948 in an advisory capacity. For years he also was general counsel of the Nevada Central Railroad Co. He was western representative, regional vice-president, and a director of the American Shortline Railroad Association.

Willson, retired US Department of Agriculture employee, returned to his home at 91 Oakdene Avenue, Cliffside Park, N.J., the end of September after eight weeks in Europe. Visiting Oxford, England, his birthplace, he was interviewed by reporters of the Oxford Mail. His observations and comments and his picture were printed in the daily Mail. In his youth, Dr. Willson worked for the Oxford papers. The Palisadian, a New Jersey newspaper, for October 16 had his picture and the report of an interview with him on his trip. '09 ME—James W. Cox is president of Wellman Operating Co., consulting textile engineers, 111 West Fortieth Street, New York City; lives at 125 East Seventy-fourth Street, New York 21. ΊO Roy Taylor Old Fort Road Bernardsυille, N.J. As far as this correspondent knows, A. Sellew (Robbie) Roberts (above) is the only member of the Class of '10 who can come up with a nifty goatee. Robbie was born in North Chili, N.Y., received his secondary school education at Chesbrough Seminary, and after a year at Knox College, entered Cornell with our Class. He received the AB in 1910. He earned the MA at University of Chicago in 1914 and the PhD at Harvard in 1922. In 1927, he joined the faculty of Kent State University, Kent, Ohio, as head of the histQry department. When he retired last May, Robbie had served thirty-one years at Kent and had made a place for himself in the hearts of many students, faculty members, and townspeople of Kent. He was voted the most distinguished faculty member of the year and was tendered a recognition banquet by the president and faculty at which they presented him a leather-bound citation. The history department gave him a leather chair for his study and the interfraternity council, a trophy for having done the most for the fraternities and sororities on the campus. He fathered the Delta U chapter at Kent and alumni of that chapter have set up a fund to present the Roberts Scholarship Ring annually to the senior with the highest grades. He had many interests outside the classroom and is credited with having organized and coached the first wrestling team at Kent. Robbie has now been made professor emeritus, which is not an automatic honor December 1, 1958 239 at Kent. When he landed at Kent in 1927, there were 600 students. Today, there are 6000. When Robbie joined the faculty there were thirty in all, now there are 300 and next fall there will be twenty-one instructors in the history department alone. He and Mrs. Roberts expect to make their home in the house they built three years ago in Kent, except during the summer when they move to their Shangri-La on Skeleton Lake, Ontario. Jim Conley has returned to the Ithaca Board of Public Works and the Ithaca Journal, commenting on his appointment by the mayor, said, "Old Pro Welcomed Back." Jim is now one of the elder statesmen of Ithaca; served as mayor in 1946 and three terms as a member of the Tompkins County Board of Supervisors. During his service on the Board of Public Works, Jim was vicechairman. He has been chairman of the highway committee as well as the water and sewer committee. When Jim resigned from the Board in May, 1956, he was serving his second six-year appointment. Ί1 Howard A. Lincoln 80 Bennington Street Springfield 8, Mass. Earϊe A. Ryder (above), ME, was headlined in the Hartford Times last April as follows: "Retired consulting engineer at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft who won an international reputation has been given the 1958 National Award of the American Society of Lubrication Engineers. The ASLE award, highest honor bestowed to an individual by the Society, has been given 'in recognition of an outstanding contribution to the field of lubrication engineering.' Last winter Mr. Ryder was honored here by the Society of Automotive Engineers when he received a 35-year membership plaque." Buzz, as he was known in his collegiate days, in spite of all his business activities has found time to pursue his hobbies such as tinkering, photography, and last, but not least, playing his Hammond Organ. Those in attendance at the annual fall Glass dinner at the Cornell Club in New York, November 6, included Tom Cox, Chuck Chuckrow, Saul Blickman, Davy 240 Davidson, Hugh Gafϊney, Fran Heywood, Abe Lincoln, Charles Miller, Herb Reynolds, John Rewalt, Vic Ritschard, Hod Ritter, and George Wolfson. Although the group was smaller than usual, a good time was enjoyed by all. Frank Aime was absent in Mexico City, but left word thanking those who had responded to his recent letter on The Class of 1911 Memorial Fund, and urging all other Classmates to do the same. 9 A ^\ Men—The fall gathering over I f the Princeton week end in October had a special appeal. No attendance records were broken; none was attempted. It was just an altogether informal assembly of out-of-towners joining the Ithaca '12 men. You will recognize the names, all of them of men who have developed the good habit of returning to the Campus at least once each year in addition to the big time in June. There were Elbert Baker, Charles Colman, Si Crounse, Walt Kuhn, Bill Luther, Crab Magoun, Bert Meehan, and Lee Tschirky. Three from Cleveland, and that's in line with established custom. The Ohio city may be the leading outpost of the Class. At least, it's the town to beat. Lee holds his place, in the opinion not only of his Classmates, as the leading amateur in the motion picture field. He showed some of his latest, all of them magnificent Campus scenes. He and Bert came a day early so that Hunt Bradley '26, Bob Kane '34, and others could enjoy a private showing. Walt Kuhn brought Frau Frances. He also brought a film taken just thirty years ago, when Walt's brother, John J., helped celebrate the Thirtieth Reunion of the Class of '98. His death last January took one of Cornell's top-flight alumni and distinguished lawyers. As a lad in 1928, John was no mean photographer either! Walt has presented the film to the University Archives. Most welcome to see in Ithaca that October week end was Mrs. Herbert V. Pusch. Until his death in 1947, Shove Pusch was one of the strong '12 men. Their son Barry is a Senior in the Law School. If you ask any member of Chi Phi, alumnus or undergraduate, who it is that tops the list of loyal supporters of the Cornell chapter, the name of Fritz Krebs will like as not be the choice. Fritz has been back for every initiation since his own, in October, 1908, and many a time in between. He has contributed in many generous ways, not merely financially. The chapter threw a special party for Fritz November 8. Naturally enough, he was the principal speaker; he also was on the receiving end of a bronze plaque which is to be attached to a portrait. The painting of our Classmate will hang in the chapter house. John B. Johnson has retired as technical director of the Aeronautical Research Laboratory, Wright Air Development Center. John went into the field of aviation soon after graduation. He started forty-two years ago as an inspector of airplanes and engines for the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps, National Bureau of Standards. He has gone up the ladder ever since. Robert B. Carr, old time resident of Fredonia, retired some time ago from the automobile business. He lives at 82 West Main Street. John Van Kleek, widely known as a land- scape and golf course architect in this country and in Central America, has settled down in North Carolina. He is easing off to the extent of putting special emphasis now on his first love, landscaping, but he is finding that he has plenty of jobs. John's address: PO Box 1516, Tryon, N.C. Retirement is not in any announced plans of Roy Moore. He is chairman of the board of Canada Dry Corp. In August he was appointed general chairman of the 1959 New York March of Dimes Drive.—FOSTER COFFIN Ί3 Harry E. Southard 3102 Miami Road South Bend 14, Ind. Here is another recent retirement. Mace (Paul) Macy, 31 Overhill Road, Scarsdale, director of paving materials sales for Allied Chemical's Barrett Division, has just retired after completing forty years with Barrett Paving Materials. During that time he has watched the company and industry grow, with Barrett, operator of one mixing plant in 1927, now rating among the leaders of the industry with twenty-seven bituminous concrete plants. He has witnessed the evolution of highway paving equipment from horse-drawn water carts to motorized vehicles capable of spreading 6500 gallons. Mace spent five years with the New York State Highway Department after graduation, joining Barrett in 1918 in Rochester. He was transferred to their New York office in 1926, serving successively as manager of new products promotion, assistant manager of Tarvia Products, and manager of Tarvia. He has been director of sales for paving materials since July. Nice going, Mace. In spite of all of these activities, Mace found time to be with us at our 45th Reunion last June. Beeb (Edgar V.) Beebe, who also was back at our 45th, represents Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York. His address is 44 Mohawk Avenue, New Paltz. Proc (Robert V.) Proctor, 7469 Market Street, Youngstown, Ohio, has been made vice-president-engineering of Commercial Shearing & Stamping Co. With this recent promotion, Proc says he can't retire now. His daughter, married, two children, lives next door. His older boy is a captain of American Airlines, with two more grandchildren. And his younger boy, a PhD in nuclear physics, is at Reactor Test Center, Idaho Falls. His wife recently received a twenty-five-year pin after twenty-eight years in the promotion of Girls Scout activities. Sess (Marcel K.) Sessler, Lyme, N.H., says we should give credit to the Classes of '12 and '17 for our Class party at our 45th Reunion having been held at the Red Barn and for* hearing The Sherwoods group from the Glee Club at our Class dinner. He states he was a guest of the '12 Class, who gave him the idea for the Red Barn supper, and a guest of Ί7's dinner when he heard The Sherwoods. Well, whoever is responsible, both selections were mighty fine so here are Ί3's thanks to everyone concerned. You have probably read of the grand opening, October 17, of a Japanese department store, Takashimaya, Inc., at the corner of Fifth Avenue & Forty-Sixth Street in New York City. This is a branch of a Japanese chain, with three floors of store and basement, designed by Junzo Yoshi- Cornell Alumni News rnura, Tokyo architect. It was a gala occasion: ribbon cutting by the wife of the Japanese Consul General and attended by many dignitaries, Bernard F. Gimbel, Grover A. Whalen, and others, including none other than our own Ί3er, Bill (William J.) Russell. Bill is manager of the New York field office of the US Department of Commerce. His home address is 122 Bramback Road, Scarsdale. Bill not only attended this Japanese store opening, but he also attended our 45th Reunion last June. That's all for now! Women — Ethel Vernon Patterson of Lansdowne, Pa. recently spent the day with Ethel Fogg Clift at her home in New York City. Joining them for lunch were Agnes Dobbins Watt, Rose Sadvoransky, Irene Urban Spindler, and Malvina Dahl. Anna Cassell Jefferson, lately discharged from the hospital, has been visiting her daughter in New York City. Ann has a son attending Cornell. Dorothy Bustard had the misfortune to fall and fracture her hip, but is making a satisfactory recovery at Baldwin Infirmary in Bryn Mawr. Why don't we all send her a note? Her address is 649 San Marino Avenue, Bryn Mawr, Pa. After attending Reunion, Blanche Corwin Wilcox and her husband visited friends and relatives in fourteen States and parts of Canada, covering more than 5000 miles. We are told that Blanche did all the driving. —GERTRUDE YOUNG HUMPHRIES '14 Emerson Hinchliff 400 Oak Avenue Ithaca, N.Y. It was, I think, Lew Fields of Weber & Fields, who used to deplore that we "get so kvick oldt und so schlow schmardt." A profound observation! I don't know what brought it to mind, because Alfred C. (Hooks) Day, Stone Walls, North Road, Norfolk, Conn., was "schmardt" back in 1945 when he bought the place, and still smarter now to have bought a gabled cottage on the Norfolk Green into which they plan to move next spring. Stone Walls is a lovely place up above Norfolk, high in the Litchfield Hills, with its own little lake and its handsome house; I hope some Cornellian buys it, because I have seen the effort and money Hooks and Dorothy have lavished on it, first as a summer place and now for allyear use. The only trouble was that pride in the place and love of puttering made him overdo. Hence the shift. When they heard of my recent indisposition, he wrote that he had had an angina pectoris attack, fainted, fallen on his back, and opened a ten-stitch cut on his head. So he had a hospital sojourn, too. Dorothy had had an orthopedic operation just before, so plenty of excitement in the Day family. If they don't sell by May, they'll rent Stone Walls for the summer and move into the cottage anyway. Kauf Wallach tried to find me when he was here last July. I was away, but he sent me a postcard. Heard that Jim Munns was here for the Princeton game; would have enjoyed hearing his comments by phone, even though I didn't see him. It was a dream game. Everything went right. Hunt Bradley '26 said he saw Doc Peters, looking fine, in the Cornell Club of New York. Doc is working on a fund drive for some New England college. Which reminds me that Chuck Bassett, our Fund chairman, would no doubt be glad if we kept the year-end tax angle in mind. If anybody has some security with a big paper profit, he can give it to the University without having to pay any capitalgain tax and yet get full deducibility. Gifts made this calendar year are included in the University's 1958-59 fiscal year. Remember, we have a reputation to keep up as regards Reunion gifts! Talking about Chuck, the Wall Street Journal of October 10 said that the American Meter Co., Philadelphia, had bought the Bassetts' Buffalo Meter Co. for $4,500,000. American is the nation's largest producer of gas meters; Buffalo makes liquid meters, and will be run as a subsidiary. Congrats, Chuck! Absence of immediate business responsibilities does not mean complete leisure by any means, as many of us know, but Chuck will be freer in his mind, and will certainly do a firstclass Fund job for us, just as he did on the 1954 Reunion. As already announced, Walt Addicks is chairman for June, 1959. Browsing around in the 1910-11 University Catalog I found a list of '14 scholarship holders. It did not include the State tuition scholarships. It's short, so I print it herewith, partly as a comparison with the multiplicity of those presently available. Cornell: Ethel L. Cornell, Edward F. Graham. H. B. Lord: Kurt O. Klaessig, Morris Goldbaum. McGraw: Myra B. McNicol, Morris G. Bishop. Sage: Ruby C. Madsen, Clara W. Koepka. Sibley: Walter E. Addicks, Harold S. Kinsley. President White: Bleecker Marquette, Harry Z. Harris. Horace Greeley: Merle Marion Mosier, Harold A. Mossman. John Stanton Gould: Alfred L. Potter, Remington Rogers. Stewart L. Woodford: Harry Schindler, Louis I. Zag- oren. Now we can understand the success of so many of them! '14 PhD—Frank E. Rice, research adviser, Evaporated Milk Association, Chicago, III, is now semi-retired and lives at 6524 North Maplewood Avenue, Chicago 45. In the last two years, he has had published three review articles on the general subject of proteins and infant feeding. More than 130 abstracts of his scientific articles have been published in two technical journals. He has also been keeping up on his photography, playing golf, and traveling. Ί5 Daniel K. Wallingford 64 West Ohio St. Chicago 10, III. Floyd W. DeGolyer, RD 1, Gloversville, still operates a sawmill and lumber business. A son and two daughters are married; there are four grandchildren. Floyd and his wife usually vacation in Florida during March. He favors getting out a '15 directory before the 1960 Reunion. Perry C. Euchner, Geneseo, reports: "Still in direct mail advertising for automobile dealers. Our 'vacations' seem to be spent going to and from homes of our sons, Chris '48, who is with Combustion Engineering, Chattanooga, Tenn., and Jim '49, with city attorney's office, Richmond, Va., to get acquainted with our five grandchildren. The fifth, Susan, arrived in Chattanooga in July. Noble B. Evans, 4047 Delmar Boulevard, St. Louis 8, Mo., is retired and pensioned, leading the life of other senior citizens. Ernest E. Jenks, c/o A.H.I., 71 West 23d Street, New York City 10, steps up from vpsales manager to president of Alexander Hamilton Institute. Class Plays Tribute to Barrett '16—October 25 following the Princeton game, the Class of 1916 was host at a reception in the ballroom of Statler Hall. In honoring Charlie Barrett's family and teammates, about 175 friends and Classmates attended, including his wife, Mrs. Paul, his daughter, and his two brothers, Arthur and Frank. Al Sharpe and Dan Reed '98 were also able to be present. Teammates included Guy Benedict '18, Roy Zander '17, Ed Lautz '15, Jimmie Munns '14, Jack Quinn '17, Paul Miller '18, Eddie Anderson '17, Fred Gillies '18, Alex Beebee '15, Dutch Hoffman '18, and Walt Lalley '17. Among Sixteeners present were footballers Herb Snyder, Allan Frick, Collie Collins, Fred Schlichter, Murray Shelton, Red Zeman, Paul Roth, and Booty Hunkin. Other Classmates included Fred Lyford, Allan Carpenter, Jim Moore, Johnnie Hoffmire, Dick Foster, Tony Shallna^ Frank Hunter, Allan Brown, Pop Frost, Birge Kinne, Bub Pfeiffer, Grant Schleicher, Charlie Eppleur, Harry Byrne, George Babcock, Howard Sauer, Bill Nugent, Fran Scheetz, Ham Vose, Paul Weiss, Dave Freudenthal, Harry Caplan, John Benore, Chief Gahnkin, Harold Bareford, Van Hart, Charlie Thorp, John Leonard, and Francis Mineka. A really great tribute to Chuck Barrett!—W.P. December 1, 1958 241 Charles H. Blackburn, 21 Third Street, Park Ridge, N.J., spent forty-two years in the sugar business, but when the factory was sold, he started his own business, taxes and accounting. His son, Douglas B. Blackburn '39, has three children and is with Ford Bacon & Davis. Son Richard is with Hormel Co., has two children. Stephen A. Cocks, 75 Shore Road, Port Washington, writes: "It's a far cry from teaching Latin to managing a printing concern, but that's how the wheel has turned for me. Earned my double exemption for income tax purposes a few days ago." J. Emmett O'Brien was inducted into a fellowship in the American College of Trial Lawyers last August in Beverly Hills, Cal. Membership is limited to one per cent of the attorneys in each State. O'Brien is a member of the law firm of Oviatt, Gilman, O'Brien & Forman, Rochester. J. Arthur Buhr says that he hasn't done anything worth speaking about since he left college. Our research re Art's activities does not check with his modest estimate of the situation. Back before 1920, he got a job with the F. H. Lawson Co., which was established in 1816. It is the oldest of the fabricators of sheet metal products west of Pittsburgh. Art has occupied the lowly office of president of this outfit since 1937. 9 A ~J Men — Saturday, October 25, I / brought back many undergraduate memories. Between halves of the Cornell-Princeton football game Chuck Barrett was inducted posthumously into the Football Hall of Fame. After the game, the Class of '16 had a grand "Old Home Week" party in the Statler Inn ballroom. We saw two '17 teammates of Chuck there, and had a nice visit with Eddie Anderson of New York City and Roy Zander of Chicago who played guard and end, respectively, when Chuck was quarterback. Noted in one of the trade journals that Thomas H. (Pat) Dugan was one of the panelists at the recent National Paint, Varnish & Lacquer Association convention in Washington. Their subject was "Keep It Legal." Pat has been in the legal department of Interchemical Corp. since 1940, with headquarters in New York City. Congratulations to Bill Wheeler! He has just finished forty years' service with The Maintenance Co., Inc. (Mainco) of New York City. For the last thirty-four years Bill has been president. November 3, Mainco moved to a larger plant at 10-40 45th Ave., Long Island City 1, after thirty-six years on W. 42d St., New York City. Paul H. Harbach was one of a committee of Buffalo architects who recently planned and conducted a clinic on architectural specifications with paint and other building supply manufacturers. Paul's office is at 220 Delaware Ave., Buffalo 2, and he resides at 250 East Quaker Road, Orchard Park. Had a letter from Bill Morgan who now resides in San Francisco after many years in Honolulu. Guess he is lonesome for the Hawaiian climate and beaches, however, because he writes: "One of my friends back in Honolulu states he would like to try the California climate, so we have decided to exchange our homes and autos for the months of November through January. We will enjoy the holidays in Hawaii with our son Tom, see many of our old friends, and get to swim again at Waikiki, Kailua, and Lanikai beaches." Don Mallory writes that he is back home after several weeks in Florida and is ready to start on his Cornell Fund work. Now is the time to contribute before the year ends! The Class extends its sincere sympathy to Sid Howell and his Cornell children. Mrs. Howell (Marcia McCartney) '20 passed away, October 25, in Ramsay, N.J. after a long illness.—HERB JOHNSTON Ί9 Mahlon H, Beakes 564 Fenimore Road Larchmont, N.Y. Louis A. Turner (above), 637 North Washington Street, Hinsdale, 111., has been appointed deputy director of Argonne National Laboratory and will bring to the administration of Argonne the teaching and research background of one of the nation's most widely respected senior physicists. We quote from a recent press release: Dr. Turner, who graduated from Cornell University in 1920 and received his doctor's degree from Princeton University in 1923, was first to suggest the possibility of producing and using plutonium as a nuclear fuel and, in effect, foreshadowed the breeding principle in his theory. During World War II, he was one of the nuclear physicists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology who developed radar for military use. After completing his doctorate work under K. T. Compton at Princeton, Dr. Turner did research work in spectroscopy at Harvard University for one year as a fellow of the National Research Council. He then returned to Princeton where he engaged in research and teaching activities until 1940 when he took leave of absence for war-time work. During the war Dr. Turner served as a special consultant to the Secretary of War on the military use of radar beacons and identification devices; as a consultant to the combined British-American research group at the Navy Research Laboratory. At the end of the war he became chairman of the important OSRD Vacuum Tube Development Committee. He remained at MIT until June, 1946, and became technical editor-in-general in charge of four volumes of the Radiation Laboratory Series and has been a co-editor of the volume Radar Scanners and Radomes and the author of various chapters in several volumes of the series. He was awarded the Presidential Certificate of Merit for his war-time services. Dr. Turner became head of the department of physics and professor of physics at the State University of Iowa in 1946, but maintained contact with atomic energy work as a member of the board of governors of the Argonne National Laboratory. As this is written, the election returns are all in, and in case any of you are wondering about the terrific turnover accomplished by Nelson Rockefeller in New York, I'll give you a little inside information! Bob Story, as a member of the New York State Republican Club, simply made up his mind that his boy was going to be elected—and you know, what Lola wants, Lola gets! '19 Reunion Notes: Ed Carples received a very fine letter from Raul Lucchetti, PO Box 505, Hato Rey, Puerto Rico, regarding our 40th Reunion in which he says: " I did not answer before your exhortation to cooperate by lending a hand because I have not been enjoying good health and so was low in spirit, to the extent that I have been doubtful at times if I will be able to go. However, I have recently braced myself up and so am willing now to lend a hand, helping in whatever way I can. I also wish to let you know that I am planning on going this year. So, as I suppose you too will be going and we shall meet there, will say, Sincerely your 'y hasta la vista,' Raul Lucchetti." This is the kind of interest and spirit which is going to make the '19 invasion of Ithaca next June the biggest and best ever. So start your own planning now! '20 Orville G. Daily 604 Melrose Avenue Kenilworth, III "And then the rains came." Of all the sloppy, soggy, slippery, slithery, sodden, sour, sinister, scurrilous foul weather that could be dumped out of the heavens, the East has had it! We drove 2400 miles in 192 hours elapsed time (with stops) through the sultry, soupy stuff, and man, we've had it! But the rain couldn't dampen the ardor of the spirited stalwarts who braved the elements to attend that memorable Class dinner, particularly these "youthful" looking officers, known as the Class Brass: In case you don't recognize them, they're (1. to r.) Ho Ballou, George Stan ton, Harold Brayman (speaker), Walt Archibald (prexy), Dick Edson, Hank Benisch (sec'y), Joe Diamant, and O. G. (Orv) Daily (the editorial "we" who always has the last word). The dinner not only brought out a goodly number of Beefeaters, but also produced a basketful of messages from those who couldn't attend, which were read to the multitude. Young in spirit (and impetuous) Sherry (C. Hobart) Sherwood, Scarsdale architect who entered the blissful state of matrimony not too long ago, passed up the dinner in favor of a trip to Pompano Beach, Fla., his first vacation since his 1953 wedding, and of course they took along their three babies. Can you tie it? (Maybe you just pin it!) And old Gordon Mertz is worried about his having six grandchildren, and one of them 242 Cornell Alumni News 14! (Yeah, one of our seven is in high school, too.) Fritz Undritz (Lieutenant Colonel Frederick R., that is) of San Antonio, Tex. had Cornell plus 13 against Syracuse (a slight error in judgment, it would seem) and a "good excuse I think" for being unable to get to NYC for the dinner. Walking was too slow and tedious. But he's enrolled for the 40th in 1960, and so are a lot of others. Just keep planning it, every one of you! A hearty welcome to Stanley Previn, 6057 Rhodes Ave., North Hollywood, Cal., who left NYC twelve years ago to seek fame and fortune in the Golden West. Stand's in a specialized branch of real estate (can't imagine what; probably selling California Sunshine) is married, without issue, and found the geography unsuited for attending the dinner. Ed. (C.E.) Ackley, who still prefers the Florida brand of sunshine, had a golf game recently at Clearwater C.C. with a stranger who turned out to be Bush Dunlop, star end at Princeton '13 and Ezra Cornell's great-great nephew. Deyo (Calypso) Johnson, Ellenville lumber and building materials dealer, has attained national prominence for his part in the planning and development of the 1958 Building Products Exposition held in Chicago last week. Deyo is president of William H. Deyo Co. and of Marvin Millwork, Inc., wholesale jobber of building supplies. Coonskin Jeff Kilborne, the Moravian Maverick, was too busy preparing for the Princeton game to get down to the dinner, but made up for it by royally entertaining Dick and Kass Edson and O.G. and Kathy Daily at his heavenly hacienda on Lake Owasco. What a spot and what a host! At Ithaca we missed an interview with our athletic wonder-of-the-age (at his age) Grandpop Wally Duncan (he was on a junket to see the State capitol at Albany), but at lunch as guests of Editor Howie Ste- venson '19, instigator of the Lake Cayuga Swim, we learned some of the more intimate details from Wally's trainers, Horatio H. Bradley '26 (who took a deep cut at us in his November column) and W. Barlow Ware '47. Great guys; they fixed it so he could swim downhill all the way! Just to be on the Campus, even in the rain, was won- derfully delightful and beautiful. It was a glorious climax! '21 L. Wainwright Voigt 7423 Richland Manor Dr. Pittsburgh 8, Pa. Harry O'Brien and Selden Ostrom asked me to take over the newscasting for several issues, which I agreed to do, providing you fellows give me something to write about.

Get out the old Cornellian and see what you looked like in those days and then page Mr. Ripley! Charles M. Stotz has been commissioned by the Pittsburgh bicentennial committee to describe the military architecture of the five different forts that were built and located at the juncture of the Allegheny and the Monongahela Rivers. In compiling the intricate data for this architectural masterpiece, Charlie did extensive research in France and England. The title of his work, Defense in the Wilderness, has just been published in book form. If interested, drop Charlie a note at Bessemer Building, Pittsburgh 22, Pa. Edward Crossett Gates, PO Box 594, Fordyce, Ark., has been in the lumber business almost from the day he graduated. His father was one of the organizers of Crossett Lumber Co., around which the present town of Crossett, Ark. started, and quite naturally Ed carried on successfully in the family tradition. He is now president of Fordyce Lumber Co. and along with his many business activities, takes a great interest in civic affairs for the further development of his community. Ed is married to the former Frances Elizabeth Jordan, also a native of Arkansas. They have a son and a daughter. Any grandchildren, Pidg? Clyde Mayer as president of the Williamsport Rotary Club spent a week this summer attending a Rotary International convention in Dallas, Tex. It just so happens that Clyde's daughter, Lois H. Mayer '53, lives in Dallas so the Rotary Club does help to get the family together. J. Arvid Peterson, 56 Sante Fe Drive, Houston, Tex., can best be quoted: "Michael Kelly Monk born August 28, Cornell '80. Grandson number six; grandchild number eight. See you all in 1961." Edwin F. Chobot, who originally hails from Brooklyn, now resides at Scenic Highway, Lookout Mountain, Tenn. What a fascinating address! Ed tells us that his son, Edwin F.

Men—The annual fall Reunion of the Class took place as usual and at the advertised time and place, October 25, right after we beat Princeton, and at the Statler Club. In recent years we haven't had the pleasure of celebrating a Cornell victory, so this year's party showed more glowing faces. More than seventy heads were counted, most of which were Classmates and their wives, and the rest, friends, guests, and sons and daughters of Classmates including their dates. Everybody signed the register, some twice, and I have here before me two pages of autographs, some legible and others not. When the name Smith can be written to look like Enatz it will take a little research and deciphering before publication of those who attended. Back in 1923, John E. Roth (above) went to work for Tidewater Oil Co. as a surveyor. Today, Johnny is a director and senior vicepresident, with headquarters in San Francisco. During all these years he was evidently too busy, working up the ladder from one promotion to the other, to check in once in a while in Class affairs. However, I'm sure that our San Francisco contingent of Messrs. Daddisman, Garden, and Fisher will try and, I hope, succeed in getting him back into the fold, perhaps at their annual dinner in January. Mr. and Mrs. Roth live at 2442 Broadway, San Francisco. For further identification, we include his picture, but I don't think he's changed enough to say so.—JOE MOTYGKA Dr. George J. Young Chamberlain, Me. We called on our columnist, Dr. George J. (Yap) Young and wife, Mildred, in September at Chamberlain, Me. (not on map). Their attractive, snug cottage on the rocky coast near New Harbor has a fascinating view of the Atlantic. They plan to stay there until late December, then moving to West Harwich on Cape Cod for the winter. After Ithaca and Cornell Medical School, Yap practiced medicine for many years in Morristown, N.J., specializing in heart diseases and serving as pathologist in four hospitals. In 1951 and again in 1952, he suffered cerebral thromboses which have sidelined him from his profession. He admits having been slowed down, but he hasn't stopped. Witness our fine '23 column, for example. Charming and all-capable Mrs. Young and he together run the home and do lots of maintenance jobs. Their only offspring, a son, and his family, including three grandchildren, live in the family home in Morristown. Yap's most impressive hobby is rug making. He has made several wool rugs in bright colors closely resembling orientals in texture and pattern. All are beautiful and flawless and they grace the floors of the cozy seaside cottage.—Malcolm E. Smith We reported a year ago that Thomas J. (Tom) Potts has four children, three sons and a daughter Mary. We know nothing of the boys, but daughter Mary must have fallen out of the carriage as a baby, because she selected Presbyterian School of Nursing instead of Cornell, much to Tom's distress. Also about a year ago, we told you about Clement G. Bowers and his masterful book on rhododendrons and azaleas. Clem is now a research associate at Cornell. Carleton V. (Toppy) Toplifϊe is in Tampa, Fla. where he represents Cutler-Hammer. Inc. as sales engineer for the State of Florida. Toppy baby sits for three granddaughters, children of his only son, Carleton, Jr. Edwin T. Naden still works for Westinghouse Electric Corp. in Seattle, Wash. He recently saw Albert Otto (Birdie) Vogel, who was passing through Seattle. Clarence Newell (Cy) Bramer spent about fi>e years in semi-retirement in sunny California, but he got itchy for the old dog and cat smells, and built a modern veterinary hospital and is again in business at 4747 El Camino Real in Los Altos, Cal. Thomas A. (T.B.) Brown thought it wasn't enough to be associated, in an executive capacity, with the Westchester Allied Trade Association, Westchester Oil Trade Association, Empire State Petroleum Association, Rotary Club, and other activities, so he got himself elected president of the Men's Republican Club of Bronxville. I guess New York's newly-elected Governor is glad you took that job, Tom. Cornell Alumni News '26 Hunt Bradley Alumni Office, Day Hall Ithaca, N.Y.

Mr. Cornelliαn, now is the time to begin planning the financial future of your child or grandchild. Our Leaping Life policy is designed especially to the needs of today's child—the man or woman of tomorrow. For instance, if he's one year old, you can purchase $5,000 of insurance for him at an annual premium of $185.40. This policy will automatically increase to $25,000 when he's age 21—without any increase in the premium. The cash and loan values are most attractive—providing him with an emergency fund when needed.

Women—It may not be polite to hint about what one hopes to find in one's stocking on Christmas morning, but I sure hope Santa Glaus brings me some '37 news items! And if it turns out there ain't no Santa Claus, it may also turn out that there ain't no more '37 Women's news column! So let's all be extra-generous with this correspondent this Christmas, shall we? I look forward to the annual season's greetings with the '37 news notes that contain names, addresses, and information about you and your families. But the old blood pressure goes up when I get those long notes gushing appreciation for this column, but not including a single bit of personal news! And the next person who writes: " I ran into several Classmates awhile back and we had a wonderful time catching up on all the news . . . . so many have children in college now . . . . the Smiths built a new house, you know, and Jack is president of his firm . . . . etc., etc." is going to get her letter back in the next mail with a nasty note from yours truly asking: "What were the names of the Classmates? When did you see 'em? Where? Whose children are at what colleges? What is the Smiths' new address? What is the name of Jack's firm?" (Please don't aggravate my ulcers, gals. Let's have names, dates, addresses, specific information. All I want are the facts, ma'am!) Kay Skehan Carroll sends the following facts: her new address is 428 Woodhill Road, Wayne, Pa. Her children are going to the Upper Merion Township schools, John in 11th grade, Martha in 8th, and Warren in elementary school. She had lunch recently with Di Dibblee Gloninger '39 who lives in Cynwyd, Pa. She and Cliff and John hope to attend Cornell-Penn game. "Our silly Venezuelan dog is frustrated by all the squirrels in the vicinity. He tried to go through a thermo-pane window (with a view of Valley Forge) after one squirrel and broke the window. I hope he learned something from that experience. It was an expensive window!" Tom Boon-long '37 and his wife Angoon, who live at 302 Silom Road, Bangkok, Thailand, went to Europe in August, sight-seeing in Rome, Geneva, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, London, etc., for a month. Then Angoon went to visit in Menton, near Nice, while Tom entered a series of sales promotion courses given by Shell in London. He'll be in London until December 5. Tom works for Shell in Bangkok. He writes that he saw»Queen Juliana at the opening of the Dutch Parliament in the Hague, and that he liked "pommes frites" in Leiden, the university town, very much. "Nothing I have tasted compares favorably with it, not even your French fried potatoes with half a chicken somewhere in the long past in New York City. We like people, the common people in busses, trains and metro, but we hate taxis."

That in itself has been a nice change, but even better has been the expressed enthusiasm and pride in the Big Red by Cornellians I've talked with at the agency. Little Barbara Hirsch's ['59] rally-round-the-flag exuberance seems to have caught on. Matter of fact, after reading a New York Times account of her one-gal tub-thumbing, our copy director (an impartial Bowdoin man) wrote and asked her if she would be interested in getting into advertising. Notes from The Cornell Society of Hotelmen Bulletin which, though unknown to most of you, keeps unusually good track of '38ers in the hotel field: President of the Society is Jerry Temple, general manager of Knutson Hotel Corp., Minneapolis. Bruce Rogers, manager of Hotel Essex in Philadelphia, was the '38 host at the American Hotel Association Cornell reception held there last month. This summer, Tom and Mary Silk accompanied the then-Secretary of Commerce, Sinclair Weeks, and his wife on an official inspection trip of the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project. Karl Pechmann sent along some snapshots he took at Reunion; pleasant reminders of that great time, but hardly flattering candids of Jack Thomas, yours truly, and some of the '38 gals.

Whitman ' 0 1 , Consultant 1304 St. Paul St., Baltimore 2,Md. Progress Works Here One of the most important and basic reasons for good telephone service is research. The many advances in speed, clarity, distance and convenience would not have been possible without it. They would nothave been possible either, in thesame degree or as economically, without one central research organization such as the Bell Telephone Laboratories. This isthe research division of the Bell System. It has grown as the needs of thenation have grown. The work of its hundreds ofscientists and engineers covers many fields and goes exploring and developing in many directions. Butit is aimed primarily at the betterment of communications services and the finding of ways toprovide this better service at thelowest cost to the customer. Not just recently, but long ago the Bell System recognized the business and national need for basic research and it has devoted a considerable part of itslaboratories program tothis field. The "search for new knowledge — the effort toincrease our understanding of nature—the probing into the unknown7'—has brought substantial RELAYS VOICES UNDER THE SEAS. This isone ofthe repeater units inthe new underseas telephone cables. These voice boosters make it possible for you totelephone Great Britain and Hawaii asclearly asyou call across town. Developed byBell Telephone Laboratories after many years of research. Made to entirely new precision limits by Western Electric. benefits beyond their particular application to communications. An outstanding example was the invention of the Transistor, one of the real breakthroughs in science that come only at rare intervals. These amazing amplifiers, though little larger than a pea, can amplify electric signals upto 100,000 times. They can do many of the things a vacuum tube can do—and more besides ! They have opened the wayto new products andimproved others. There is no doubt that theTransistor has been one of the leading factors in an electronic boom and has helped to create businessand jobs in many industries. More than 50,000,000 transistors will be made this year. The research and manufacturing skills of the Bell System, alreadyorganized and athand, are placed fully at the service of the U.S. Government whenever we are called upon for projects for which weare specially qualified. Among many present defense assignments is the development of guidance systems for intercontinental missiles. BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM
