CENTS Successful Reunions Held Under Ideal Conditions ASSISTED in no little degree by weather that was truly extraordinary, even for Ithaca in June, the class reunions of 1928 took a high place in the celebrations of recent years. Slightly smaller in point of numbers ^ of registration, with 1487 this year as compared with 1564 last June, the reunions stood up well even in comparison with successes of a year ago, when the enthusiasm of '12 as hosts and the spirit of the War Memorial gave so significant a keynote. The annual, rally in Bailey Hall on Saturday night was dedicated to the fifty-year class of '78. With the splendid record of their total membership of thirty attending, '78 won the cup presented by the Cornell Association of Class Secretaries to the class having the highest percentage back. The class of '13, hosts of the rally, had prepared a surprise that was received most enthusiastically, three reels of motion pictures of Cornell personalities, the campus, and events of this spring, with several shots taken Friday and rushed to Rochester for development. Dedicated to "Uncle Pete" (Albert W. Smith), president of '78, the movies included also pictures of members of '78 taken in their undergraduate days, as well as those of some of the outstanding members of Ί 3 taken when they were in college. The films were given to the University, the class hoping it will be the beginning of a collection added to each year by other classes. Experts in motion picture photography pronounced the reels as being of unusual beauty and technical perfection. They were the work of Louis A. Bonn '13, and no one was surprised to learn that Louis is head of one of the best motion picture laboratories in New York City. The only difficulty was that the pictures were not shown to their best advantage because of defects in lighting. John E. Whinery '13, reunion chairman, was in general charge. Walt Caten '13 presided at the rally, with his classmate Andy McCown leading the singing. Behind the scenes most of the time but playing a most important role was George Fowler '13 at the organ. George doubled in brass and played the piano between organ numbers. "Uncle Pete" spoke on behalf of '78, and received a tremendous ovation from the alumni who were filling every available seat and crowding into the corridors six deep. His reception was equalled only by that given President Farrand, who made one of those brilliant responses which Cornellians have learned to expect during the past seven years. Stunts were given by the inimitable Hibby Ayer Ί 4 and two undergraduates, William W. Sproul '28 and George B.

The Department of Floriculture of the University had grown Flanders poppies, synchronizing them perfectly in their day of blooming with the reunion weekend. The flowers were a silent reminder of the rally in 1927, when Bob Treman's stirring address announced the completion of the War Memorial Drive. Each year the Dix plan of reuning has been more generally followed. The largest Dix group this year comprised the classes of '97, '98, '99, and '00, who roomed together, banqueted together, and played together. The R. O. T. C. band, now known as "Joe BeachamV since his efforts saved it from near death last fall, was the official band of the reunion. At the joint banquet of the four classes on Saturday night it was voted by all four groups, individually and collectively, that henceforth they were thoroughly confirmed to the Dix plan. Another large Dix group was the women of Ί 6 , '17, Ί 8 , and '19. The class of '79 came back with '78. The class of '73, with thirteen of its twentythree members, took second place to '78 among the official classes in the percentage rating, with fifty-six and one-half percent. There is no better reunion class than '73. An unofficial runner-up was '69, Charles F. Hendryx of Cincinnati, representing fifty percent of his class. The other fifty percent, John A. Rea, again was unable to make the trip from Tacoma, Washington. In figuring total numbers back, only the official registration at the Drill Hall can be counted. '26 won the cup this year. It was the women of '26 who won the cup for the class, 87 returning, giving their class a total registration of 191. Only once have more than 87 women returned. Three years ago the class of '23 registered ninety women. One hundred and thirty-five men of '13 were present, the high score for men. Twenty women brought their score to 155. The class of Ί 8 took second place, with a total registration of 175. 458 CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS The twenty-five year class, '03, were well represented with a registration of 130 a record for twenty-five year classes. An annual feature of the reunions is the luncheon on Saturday in the Drill Hall. On this occasion the University plays host to alumni and their families, to members of the faculty, to out of town guests, and to seniors. Over 4200 luncheons were served. The high quality of these luncheons, provided in the Drill Hall which has practically no facilities for the service of meals, is a distinct tribute to the University catering department, over which Mrs. Anna F. Grace Ί o presides with such skill. The annual meeting of the Cornell Alumni Corporation, held in Baker Laboratory of Chemistry, provided another high light of the weekend. The program was confined to a short talk by the president of the Corporation, C. Rodman Stull Ό7, who reviewed some of the activities of the Corporation, to the announcement of the election of alumni trustees, and to President Farrand's confidential talk, which if such is possible was this year an even finer message than those of the years before. Cornellian Council's Year Total of Gifts to University in Excess of $500,000 Reported at Annual Meeting Gifts to Cornell,made during the past year through the Cornellian Council totaled more than $500,000, the executive committee announced at the annual meeting of the council June 16. The sum is the largest raised by the Council in any one year. This year marks Cornell's sixtieth anniversary and the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Council. Jervis Langdon '97 of Elmira has been president during the year. Approximately $200,000 has been given to be added to permanent endowment, $135,000 has been given to the unrestricted Alumni Fund and is available for appropriation by the Trustees for those needs of the University which are most urgent, and the balance has been given for special purposes, including the War Memorial. In addition to the $500,000 in cash and securities reported the Council received a subscription of $144,000 from Harrison D. McFaddin '94 for the construction of McFaddin Hall, which will form a part of the War Memorial Group. One of the significant gifts made through the Council has been that of Colonel Henry W. Sackett '75 of more than $20,000 for further beautifying the gorges. The Committee on Bequests reported that at least $1,000,000 has been included in wills drawn during the year making Cornell the beneficiary. The appeal of the Council has been directed during the year to all the alumni and former students of Cornell. Already more than 1500 additional subscriptions ranging from $5 to $100 each have been received as sixtieth anniversary gifts to Cornell, and during the year 25 alumni have made subscriptions of $1,000 annually to the Alumni Fund. Although the War Memorial campaign was completed a year ago, subscriptions totaling more than $10,000 have been received during the year. Cornell also has been made the bene- ficiary of more than $150,000 of adjusted compensation insurance, by 150 War veterans. THE FIFTY YEAR CLASS Photo by Troy Studio Left to right, top row: Edward N.

Timely hitting and Cornell misplays figured in the visitor's scoring. Lewis was touched for nine hits and was replaced by Boies in the sixth. Boies held the South Bend batsmen scoreless for the rest ofthe game. Cornell's failure to hit with men on the bases cost the Red and White several runs. In the seventh Donnelly started with a triple but the batters could not bring him home. Cornell scored twice in the third after spotting Notre Dame to a one-run lead in the same frame. Hits by Lewis and Cooper and a Notre Dame error brought in the two tallies. Notre Dame took the lead by scoring in the fourth and again in the fifth. The sixth saw the issue decided. Three Cornell errors, two hits, and a pass spelled four runs for the visitors. Cornell got one back in the same inning. Twomore runs in the eighth cut down Notre Dame's margin. A pass to McConnell and singles by Crosby and Donnelly, who led Cornellin hitting, brought in the runs.

Cornell lost the first of the reunion baseball games toPennsylvania on Hoy Field June 15. Sanford held the Red and White batsmen to three hits fora 3-0 victory. The win gave Pennsylvania the lead in the Quadrangle Cup League. Thomas, Pennsylvania center fielder, drove in all three runs. With Wilner on first base in the opening inning, he hit a home run to deep left-center. Again in the third, with Wilner on first, he placed a long drive to right-center and circled the bases, only to be called out for failing to touch second. Thomas received credit for a two-base hit. Froehlich, the Cornell pitcher, allowed 10 hits, but brilliant infield support enabled the Red and White to prevent the Quakers scoring more runs. Three fast double plays provided the fielding features of the game. One of them cut offa run at the plate. With Pennsylvania men on second and third in the eighth inning, McDonald hit to Balderston who threw to Stieff, forcing out Connell. Walker rounded third base for the plate on the throw but was caught on Stieff's fine throw to Gichner. Cornell threatened only in the eighth inning when a pass to Froehlich andan error by Reinhalter on Balderston's grounder put the Cornell men on third and second with two out.

Printed by The Cayuga Press Entered as Second Class Matter at Ithaca, N. Y. ITHACA, N. Y., JUNE 21, 1928 POLITICS OR APATHY THE Cornell Alumni Corporation has certified to the election as alumni trustees of Messrs. Schoellkopf and Gherardi. The vote was the largest vote on record. Half the electorate took advantage of their right to select their representatives to conduct the affairs of the University. The gentlemen who were defeated were also highly qualified to sit on the Board. Viewed rightly, it should be regarded as a signal honor to be considered capable of being a trustee. The polling of a vote sufficient five years ago to assure an election, as well as the nomination itself, is an indication of a high esteem that should be a source of constant satisfaction to these men. We are satisfied that the fifty percent who did not choose to vote are within their rights. If they do not care to register a choice they are the principal losers. For the most of them it is probably merely a reflection of lack of interest, which in turn is the result of lack of knowledge of the University. Accurate knowledge of Cornell engenders interest, enthusiasm, and action. At the risk of boring the electorate we take this opportunity to insist again that the two losers are the innocent victims of alumnal apathy. There is no reason why there should not have been five, or six, or many candidates for these two offices, nor why there should not be many candidates every year. With enough candidates the emphasis will be on the winners and off the losers. It becomes a sporting event in which the prize is the opportunity to serve a cause, but in which the real honor is the making of a good run. To nominate a trustee is simplicity itself. Any ten holders of Cornell degrees, having gained the consent of the nominee, are sufficient backing to make the nomination. More signatures than ten are utterly futile, for under present practice the petitions are regarded as confidential. There is very little official red tape to the making of a nomination. It is probable that the various officers of Cornell clubs, classes, and general organizations should be canvassed in the early fall each year, looking toward the securing of suggestions. These suggestions could be worked on with the object of crystallizing the matter before the fall alumni convention. If the convention can be made to serve this additional useful purpose its value to Cornell will be immeasurably enhanced. That this savors of politics is admitted. We feel that there is less danger to a democratic institution from politics than there is from apathy. Numerous illustrations could be cited from the national procedure to establish the fact. Politics can be controlled. A controlled apathy is unthinkable. The corporation has suggested that there be at least one more candidate than twice the number of the vacancies, ordinarily at least five. It is not absurd to hope that we shall shortly have anywhere from six to ten candidates for the two annual vacancies, that we shall have the names for discussion at the fall convention, and that the ballots that go out each April second will offer the electorate a wide choice. This will be beneficial to Cornell, to the Trustees, and to the electorate. SYRACUSE HONORS DEAN MANN Dean Albert R. Mann '04 was given the honorary degree of Doctor of Science by Syracuse University at its commencement exercises June 11. In conferring the degree upon Dean Mann, Chancellor Charles W. Flint of Syracuse read the following citation: "Albert Russell Mann, dean of the State College of Agriculture and the Agricultural Experiment Station, associated with our neighbor Cornell, eminent expert in science and agriculture, versatile public servant as officer of many agricultural institutions and public welfare organizations, able representative of American agricultural interests on foreign shores, writer of learned * articles in your chosen field; with fraternal cordiality and pleasure, I admit you to the degree of Doctor of Science." TO SUPERVISE ADMISSIONS The work of the Committee on Selective Admission is to be undertaken in September by Dr. Eugene F. Bradford as Director of Admissions, a new official post at Cornell. The appointment of Dr. Bradford, now professor of English and director of admissions at Syracuse University, was announced June 11. The office of Director of Admissions will relieve the Registrar's office of all work relating to the selection of students for admission to Cornell. David F. Hoy '91 will continue as University registrar. Dr. Bradford was born in Bangor, Me. He is a descendent in the ninth generation of Governor William Bradford of Plymouth. He received the A.B. degree at Bowdoin in 1912, and was awarded the Longfellow Graduate Scholarship there. He entered Harvard and received the M.A. degree in 1913. He became instructor in English at Syracuse University the same year, teaching there until 1917. Commissioned a first lieutenant of infantry, he served overseas with the 308th Regiment, Seventy-seventh Division. He commanded his company from August, 1918, to the Armistice. He was then assigned as an Army student to Oxford. In September, 1919, Professor Bradford returned to Syracuse University as assistant professor of English. In 1920 he was made the first director of admissions there, and became associate professor of English in 1921. In 1925 Dr. Bradford was awarded the Willard Fellowship at Harvard and returned there for further graduate work in English, receiving the Ph.D. in June, 1927. He is a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon and Phi Beta Kappa, and belongs to the Modern Language Association of America, American Association of University Professors and the American Legion. THE ITHACA TRACTION COMPANY is to be sold and reorganized through a bondholders' committee. The Announcement is entirely beyond the capacity of your correspondent to understand, but from the welter of statements about foreclosures, appeals, judgments, and defaults the fact seems to emerge that the cars will continue running. DONALD C. SWENSON '28 and Albert E. Koehl '28 who graduate this year from the hotel management course will spend the summer as student observers on the steamers of the French Steamship Lines. They will sail June 30 on the He de France, and will study all departments of the ship. The trip will be followed by employment in Paris before they return to the United States on the steamship Paris. CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS 461 Alumni Trustee Election Schoellkopf '05 and Gherardi '93 Win in Heaviest Poll Ever Recorded From Graduates BANCROFT GHERARDI CLASS DAY EXERCISES Class Day exercises were held June 15 in Bailey Hall, with Lewis P. Seiler of Louisville, Ky., president of the Student Council, presiding. The class orator, Malcolm P. Murdock of Olean, expressed the spirit of the exercises when he said: "Four years of college were plenty. We're glad it's over." Philip L. Ash of Kingston, Pa., the class prophet, included in his vision of 1948 references to the discussion over the question of having women student participate inthe Class Day exercises. The class history was given by Henry S. Krusen of East Orange, N. J., and the class poem, "Bells," byWilliam B. Willcox. The ceremony of handing down the class pipe was conducted by Eugene P. Balderston of Philadelphia, Pa., and the response was made by Dudley N. Schoales '29 of Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Truman A. Lacey of Binghamton conducted the singing of "Alma Mater" and "The Evening Song.'' The invocation was given by Rev. Hugh A. Moran. SENIOR WOMEN HOLD BANQUET Senior Week opened June 12 when two hundred senior women held their annual banquet in Willard Straight Hall and heard President Farrand tell them that the University relies more on what its alumni accomplish after graduation than asstudents. Elizabeth G. Clark '28 of Roslyn Heights was toastmistress, and other speakers were Professor Flora Rose, Ό7-8 Grad., and Edna V. Stilliman '28 of Hempstead, women's life secretary of the Class of 1928. WILLIAM R. LEONARD, Whitman '26, for the past two years agraduate assistant at Tufts, comes to Cornell next year as an instructor in economics. As a result of the vote of the alumni, Frederick Schoellkopf, Jr. '05, of Buf- falo, and Bancroft Gherardi '93, of New York, have been elected Alumni Trustees of the University. Each will serve for the five-year term beginning June, 1928. They succeed to the places held by Judge Cuthbert W. Pound '87 and John L. Senior '01. Judge Pound has completed three terms as alumni trustee and has been elected by theBoard for another term. Senior has served two terms and like Judge Pound did notrunfor re- election as Alumni Trustee. The four candidates finished in the following order: Schoellkopf, 8,698; Gher- ardi, 4,704; Joseph P. Harris '01, of Cleveland, 4,527; and Dr. Lee Cleveland Corbett '90, of Washington, 2,826. J. F. SCHOELLKOPF, JR. The increasing interest inthese annual elections was indicated by the fact that UNCLE PETE HONORED AT CONCERT the previous record in total size of the vote was beaten by a substantial margin. At the election a year ago, 9989 alumni voted. This year, 10,688 votes were cast. 201 ballots were thrown out as defective, leaving a net total vote of 10,487. The Senior Week concert ofthe Cornell Musical Clubs in Bailey Hall June 14 was dedicated to Dean Albert W. Smith '78, at one time acting president of the University. Uncle Pete heard his poems, "The Hill," offered by the Glee Club, and Richmond L.

William Morrow & Company. 1928. 22 cm., pp. xvi, 480. Price, $6.00. In this volume Dr. Crouse attempts with success a complete narrative of the search for the Northwest Passage by Europeans from the thirteenth to the eighteenth century. During the twelfth and thirteenth centuries the Crusades had brought to Europeans a knowledge ofthe refinement and luxury of the East. Luxuries brought from Asia soon became semi-necessities; the spices, drugs, precious stones, silks, and products of the skilled handicraft of the Orient were in such demand that the problem of securing these commodities more easily came to be the great economic aim of the age. The various routes by which goods were brought from the East were so arduous and expensive, whether overland or by sea, that the resulting prices were excessive. Various trading posts were established along the routes, adding enormously to the cost because ofthe profits to middlemen, who were, for the most part, foreigners. "By afortunate coincidence the voyage of Columbus which served as inspiration for Cabot took place at a time when England was entering upon her career of commercial expansion under thewise guidance of her King; thus a golden opportunity was provided by Cabot to interest the sovereign in his project of discovery." Thus the real story begins with the voyages of John Cabot under the flag of Henry VII of England. The naive conception of northern America held by Europeans of this time is shown in a record made in the reign of Henry VIII when there was a tariff war on between England and the Low Countries: "About two months ago there was a deliberation in the Privy Council as to the expediency of sending two ships to the northern seas for the purpose of discovering apassage between Iceland and Greenland for the northern regions, where it was thought that, owing to the extreme cold, English woolen cloths would be very acceptable and sell for a good price." Another passage, with Verrazano's map made in 1529, throws light on their ideas of the probable size of the continent. The map shows the continent divided into two sections connected, near Delaware Bay, by an isthmus separating the Atlantic from an indentation of the Pacific, with this inscription: "From this eastern sea is seen the western sea. There are 6 miles ofland between the one and the other." Verrazano evidently landed here on the southern point of New Jersey and from his masthead saw or from the savages heard of a large body of water to the west; having the Western Sea uppermost inhis mind he at once concluded that that was what he saw. Later in his report to the king, however, he shows a realization of the great distance from north to south of the continent and draws an inference that from this it may be possible that the country exceeds even Asia in size. In 1569 Gerard Mercator produced the best map of North America of the sixteenth century. It shows a true sense of perspective and represents this as a large continent separated from Asia at its northwestern point by a narrow strait. This map was the result ofcareful study and examination of all available geographical information. Voyages of investigation on the northern shore continued until about 1632. Then until the eighteenth century efforts were transferred to Virginia and farther south. Here an added lure was the stories of gold and copper to be found in rich abundance in themountains. Here colonization started with the search for the western ocean more of a side issue. The next real accomplishment was the exploration of the St. Lawrence River, the Great Lakes, and the Mississippi River by the French, notably the Jesuits. Of Marquette in 1673 weread: "Drifting down the current of the Wisconsin they reached the Mississippi on the 17th of June. Here at last was the mighty stream leading to the South Sea. What wonder Marquette wrote inhis journal that he entered it with 'a joy that I cannot express.' " Again it is the French, almost a hundred years later, whose explorations reach the Rocky Mountains. In 1742 Frangois La Verendrye with a party of French and Indians came in sight of the Rockies. Again in the middle of the eighteenth century interest is aroused in the effort to find a passage through Hudson Bay. Arthur Dobbs, an Irish engineer, accuses the Hudson Bay Company not only of having made little effort to find a passage, but of preventing and thwarting all efforts at discovery; further, of holding a monopoly of rights in the region from a charter granted by Charles II and by no act of Parliament. Through the influence of Dobbs another effort was made to find the passage, in 1741, but without success. A report of this voyage, incharge of Captain Christopher Middleton, is given in a letter by him to Dobbs: "Undoubtedly there is no hope of passage... and if there be any further to the northward, it must be impossible for the ice, and the narrowness of any such outlet, in 67° or 68° of latitude, it cannot be clear of ice one week in a year, and many years, as Iapprehend, not clear at all." The final attempt was made in 1771 by Samuel Hearne, whose explorations at last convinced the English that the entire theory of a passage in this portion ofthe continent was impractical. Furthermore he proved the great width of the continent in its northern part, thus showing that even if a passage were found, distance and climatic conditions would render it of little use. The entire record is an amazing account of the vision, courage, and tenacity of both the English and the French; for though they failed in the chief purpose of their endeavor, they explored a large part of one of the great continents of the globe. The text is well illustrated byreproductions of early maps and the book includes bibliography, notes, and index.
