The Engineering banquet is an innovation this year, following the idea of an honors day which is held successfully in many engineering schools. It replaces the former Sibley banquet and those of the other schools, which have been held infrequently of late years. All Engineering students and Faculty members were invited tobe present inWillard Straight Hall, and the sixty-nine honor students, whose names were read, were guests of the College at the dinner. Dean J.W. Barker of the school of engineering at Columbia University was the guest speaker, and Dean Herman Diederichs '97 of the Engineering College, the toastmaster, also announced thewinners of the Sibley Prizes, founded by Hiram Sibley in1884 to be awarded annuallyto students who "show the greatest merit in their work." The winners were Fred F. Sampson, Jr. '37 of Mt. Vernon, Charles H. Dawson '38 of Uniontown, Pa., Donald M. Smith '37 of Newark Valley, Edwin J. Scheetz '38 of Newark, and Theodore C.

ENGINEERS MEET DAY
The Cornell Society of Engineers met for dinner at the Cornell Club of New York on March 18. Jesse D. Tuller '09, president of the Society, presided; Charles H. Blair '97, as president of the Cornell Club, spoke a word of welcome; and Dr. Edmund E. Day President-elect, talked informally. A hundred engineers attended .
'12 CHILDREN DANCE
"Sons and Daughters of the Class of 1912." attending the University are gathering for a tea and dance in Willard Straight Hall the afternoon of April 1. The Class of 191Z claims that its 65 children now at Cornell constitute a record of some sort, and should be celebrated with a party.
A committee of seven 1911 children met with Foster M. Coffin and Louis C. Boochever, local 1912. impressarios, to arrange for the party. Those present were Prisilla M. Coffin '40; Constance E. Allen and Robert Boochever '39; Elizabeth M. Ladd and Ira W. Wilson '38; and James D. Brew '37 and Rita Carey '37.
'77'S SIXTIETH
Professor Simon H. Gage, secretary of the Class of '77, has heard from eight of the thirteen living members of the Class that they plan to be in Ithaca June 18-2.0 for the sixty-year reunion of the Class. For Saturday evening of reunion week end the Class will be joined by members of the other nine first classes of the University in continuing the reunion dinners started by the late Mynderse Van Cleef '74. They have asked Judge Frank H. Hiscock '75, chairman of the Board of Trustees, to preside at the dinner, as he has the last two years, and are inviting members of Mr. Van Cleef's family as special guests.
Members of the Class who have written Professor Gage that they will be here are the Class president, William F. E. Gurley of Chicago, III., Charles M. Bean of Chula Vista, Calif., Leland O. Howard of Washington, D.C., William E. Lucas of Birmingham, Ala., Amos B. McNairy of Cleveland, Ohio, John N. Ostrom of East Randolph, Fredeiick M. Pennock of West Chester, Pa., and Walter J. Sherman of Toledo, Ohio.

EARLY CORNELL DAYS Boys Came Years Ago
This year's Cornell Day, the week end of May 1, is commonly thought of as the fourth annual Cornell Day. It is true that the first organized event of the kind, when the University entertained prospective students on the Campus, was that of May i i , 1934. But a recent letter from Hugh C. Edmiston '15, discloses that groups of school boys came to the Campus as far back as 1910. He recalls his own experiences as a visitor that year, and describes what is believed to be the first organized effort by a Cornell Club to bring prospective students to Ithaca. The picture below shows this first group, brought by bus in 1919. Edmiston writes as follows:
" N o doubt Cornell Day has actually existed for years, for I can well recall a group of us from Newark Academy having been invited up for Spring Day, 1910, and again for May vj, 1911. Those were the dim, dark ages, when we went on our own on the D. L. & W. or Lehigh sleepers, but we were housed by the fraternities who invited us up, and they certainly saw to it that we were entertained. I think no sub-Freshman could have thought for a second of any college other than Cornell after seeing the athletic doings of May Z7, 1911. [That day Cornell teams were victorious in all six of the events in which they participated: the Varsity beat Yale in a fourteen-inning baseball game on Percy Field and the Varsity and Freshman crews defeated Harvard on the Lake; while in Cambridge the track team won its fourth leg on the intercollegiate championship cup, at Annapolis the Junior Varsity crew beat Navy, Yale, Harvard, and Pennsylvania, and the Freshman baseball team won its game against Dartmouth at Hanover.—ED.]
" G i l Terriberry '15 decided something ought to be done along regular lines, and being the guiding spirit of the Lack-

awanna Club, he hired a bus and took a group to Ithaca in it in 192.9. I believe he housed them in Barnes Hall, on cots, or he may have distributed some of them among fraternity houses. In his inimitable Terri style, he handed each one of them a map of the Campus, told them the time of meals, and turned them loose to discover Cornell for themselves. A number, most pleased with their discoveries, later matriculated. Duke Wood '36 [intercollegiate discus champion last year and consistent point-scorer in the weights for three years—ED.] smiles from the center of the group. Next but one at the left is 'Pop' [Frank A.] Wright '79, oldest member of the Lackawanna Club; and at his right is Russell Boettiger '35, who later held the first Lacka wanna Club scholarship. Mrs. Terriberry, who did some good propaganda work, is third from the right.
" I like to think that this group was the forerunner of your magnificent Cornell Days, although undoubtedly any number of similar groups have come from all directions. Most of us, I imagine, just rubbernecked at the Campus, climbed the Library tower, and took in big athletic days. Terri started the 'herd' idea, and also got them to looking over the University in its stride, while classes were in session; and you can bet that some of this group got themselves into places where they were not exactly expected."
Edmiston's letter was written to Ray S. Ashbery '2.5, Alumni Field Secretary. Commenting on it, Ashbery points out that the numbers, both of schoolboy guests and of alumni, who come to Ithaca for Cornell Days now have increased so greatly that it is a real problem to find accomodations for them. He asks that alumni who plan to come back this year May 1 be sure not only that the boys they are bringing are registered with him, but also that their own names are sent to his office in Alumni House,

TRUSTEE REPRESENTATION
To THE EDITOR:
My letter of December 12., 1936, regarding regional representation on the Board of Tustees, which you were good enough to publish, has brought me so much comment that I can adequately respond only by using your columns again.
There areforty Trustees, and only three of these live west of New York State. The genuine admiration we all have for the truly great State of New York and for theEast in general should notprevent us from taking all possible steps to emphasize Cornell's position asa nationally known institution, and to do it now. The wayto dothis is to select Trustees from the various sections of the country, so far as practicable.
Surely it is not difficult to have a Trustee from Chicago, for example. And yet there has been no such representation actually for fifteen years. Just amoment's reflection reveals the great advantage of having at least one Trustee from the second largest city in the country, a community of vast resources and great potential influence. Other Eastern institutions are not overlooking this obvious advantage. Why shouldwe?
Recently, while in New York and Philadelphia, I spoke to many alumni about this. Without exception they immediately understood and sympathized, recognizing that theproposition is not a personal but a Cornell idea.

PROFESSOR BURR IS EIGHTY

MARCH IDYLL
It may nothave escaped your attention that wehad two or three wild days and nights around here the first part of last week. Eight inches of snow aresaid to have fallen on the level, only there wasn't any level. Tempests of arctic cruelty and intensity picked the whiteness up and concentrated it in drifts of mountainous proportions.
And yet there was never a moment when one could notdrive a Ford between Ithaca and Stoneposts. It wasn't exactly what you'd call pleasure driving, but it could be done and it was done. It wasn't done because we are any Barney Oldfield, but because five score rather fine young men and thirty-five colossal trucks with ugly snow plows strapped across their

PROFESSOR GEORGE L. BURR '81 was
eighty years old last January 30. Last week Professor Dexter S. Kimball found him happy, well, and hard at work in a sunny window alcove of the University of Pennsylvania Library in Philadelphia. Professor Burr has spent the winter furthering his studies in thehistory of superstition and witchcraft among the special collections there, and plans to visit Ithaca later this spring, Dean Kimball says. His room at the Telluride House is kept always ready for his occupancy. Professor Burr lives in Philadelphia at 362.7 Locust Street.

brother of J. DeWitt Willcox, Jr. '35, of former Varsity basketball and golf teams. Other veteran Varsity players are William B. Smith '38 of Jeannette, Pa., Douglas R. Rogers, Jr. '38 of Westίield, N.J., and Michael J. Sulla '37 of Harrison, member of the 1935 team who was out of the University last year on leave of absence and has returned as a Junior.
ELECT FOUR CAPTAINS
Four Varsity teams, ending their seasons, have elected captains for next year. The basketball team, meeting at dinner last week, elected Thomas A. Rich '38 of Hobart, captain this year, and Carlton P. Wilson '38 of Milwaukee, Wis., cocaptains. Wilson, who has played at center and forward, is the son of John C. Wilson '06 and Mrs. Wilson (Helen L. Stone) '06, and a brother of John C. Wilson, Jr. '35, who was a member of the Vaisity basketball team for three years.
The wrestling team elected as its captain Frederick F. Reimers '39 of Hammond, La., who wrestled this year in the 155-pound class. Robert D. Cloyes *j8 of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, who set records in free style events at 50 and 100 yards, is captain of the swimming team. The fencing team, after the Intercollegiates in New York City, elected as its new captain George E. Detmold '38 of Long Island City.
FOURTEEN TENNIS MATCHES
Reflecting increasing interest in tennis, the Department of Physical Education and Athletics has announced a spring schedule of fourteen matches, eight in Ithaca and six away:
April ix—Miami at Ithaca 2.4—Syracuse at Ithaca 2.8—Colgate at Ithaca 30—Princeton at Princeton

, Army 48H, CCNY 47, Princeton , Cornell 39^," MIT Z 7 ^ , Harvard 2, Hamilton 14^The team won three of its six dual meets this season, from Hamilton, Pennsylvania, and Colgate; they lost to Navy, NYU, and Columbia.

YACHT CLUB TO RACE
First race of the season for the Cornell Corinthian Yacht Club will be April 2.4 and X5 on the Charles River Basin, Cambridge, Mass., in the Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Association regatta, with MIT as host. May 1 they will take part in the second annual invitation intercollegiate regatta, sponsored by Brown University on Narragansett Bay; and May 9 they will defend their title in the Boston Dinghy Club's challenge cup races on the Charles.
SPORTS EXTRA!
A Southern baseball trip more ambitious than has been attempted in recent decades makes it necessary to take along a squad of eighteen, instead of the sixteen usually carried in recent years. The following players have been selected to leave for North Carolina the end of this week:
Catchers: Bernard M. Rigney '39 of New York City, John W. Sheffer '39 of Glen Ridge, N.J., and Robert F. White '39 of Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
Pitchers: Jack W. Lozier '38 of Elmira, Michael N. Stenach '39 of Dolgeville, William E. Bendey, Jr. '39 of Springville, Worthington Dodd '38 of Cincinnati, Ohio, and John M. Batten '37 of Cape May, N.J.
Infielders: first base, Robert D. Florence '37 of Brooklyn and Rudolph A. Doering '37 of Camden, N.J.; second base, Walter Johnson '38 of Hector; short stop, Robert J. McNamara '37 of Ithaca; third base, Manford Rosenheck '37 of Elmira; utility, Robert G. Meagher '37 of Utica.
Outfield: David D. Dugan '37 of Buffalo, William A. Buckhout '37 of Pleasantville, Alvin T. M. Gaily '38 of Lynbrook, and Thomas A. Rich '38 of Hobart.
Baseball Comment
The main purpose of a Southern trip is of course, to supply a laboratory test of the coach's preliminary guesses as to individual ability, made on the basis of appearance in the cage. There has been no chance yet for a single practice out-ofdoors in Ithaca.
There will be changes, of course, based largely on hitting results; but it would not be surprising to see this lineup in the opening game on April 5 with the University of North Carolina: 1st B. Florence; id B, Johnson; SS, McNamara; 3d B, Rosenheck; L.F., Batten; C.F., Dugan; R.F., Buckhout; catcher, Rigney; pitcher, Lozier, That would present a veteran organization (with slight change's of position in the infield) except behind the bat. Rigney caught for the Freshmen last year.
Batten, also captain of football, was Cornell's leading batter last season, and a first-string pitcher. He alternated in play between the box and left field. Though classed still as a pitcher, he is

likely to spend most of his time this year in the field where his batting ability may be more fully exploited.
Doering, last year's first-string catcher until he broke his hand, and now fresh from basketball, is being tried out at first base. The strength of Rigney and of SheίFer (the football player) behind the bat suggested this move. But Doering may yet appear in armor.
The pitching staff, though relatively young and inexperienced, is thought to possess unusual promise. Lozier, a Varsity regular of last year, and Stenach, the mainstay of the 1936 Freshman team, are both left-handers with a curve ball and control. Lozier was weak last year in fielding balls batted to the box because his pitching form threw him out of position. He seems to have overcome this weakness. Bensley, a Sophomore right-hander, stands 6 ft. 6 in. and has speed and a curve ball. He needs only experience on the firing line. At any rate the pitching strength seems sufficient to send Batten to the outfield. Remains the question: "Can they hit?"
Rowing
Four boat loads will stay in Ithaca over vacation for intensive training. They need it after a winter that has hung on endlessly. On March VL the Inlet cleared sufficiently to permit two days of rowing. On March 2.5 the mercury fell to 15, and new ice formed rapidly. Assistant Coach Sonju and Rigger James Wray, Jr. spent part of the night running the Freshman coaching launch up and down in an effort to keep the channel open. This innovation proved not to be a success. The ice formed anyway, and the Freshman launch is now laid up for major repairs.
Intramurals
York A. C. won the intramural basketball championship by defeating Sigma Chi, 2.1-17, at the conclusion of a season which saw 315 games played. Sigma Chi had previously won the interfraternity championship from 54 other teams (playing up in 9 minor leagues), and the York A. C. had previously prevailed in the Independent League of 30 teams.
The Yorks had the benefit of Babcock, a Junior Varsity oarsman, and of Mike Sulla '38, University golf champion and brother of Al Sulla '19, who played the banjo. Rose, the football player, and Heckel, Varsity oarsman, played for Sigma Chi.
Law won the intercollege championship, and the Presbyterians beat the other religions and sects. These two will yet battle in an extra engagement for the championship of something or other.
Mr. Nick Bawlf got all this started, but he reports himself unable to stop it. A devout churchman, he finds himself handicapped in cooling off the Presbyterians, who seem to be running away.

A GOOD TIME IN ITHACA
The fourth Cornell Day is to be held at Ithaca on May i . With its background of early efforts byindividual alumni and Cornell Clubs, allagree that the present plan has begun to produce results. Some of the same alumni who brought boys to Ithaca years ago, and some of their former guests, are now engaged in Cornell's concerted annual rejuvenation, when school boys are shown the advantages of the place, to the benefit of Cornell and its guests, and the satisfaction and pleasure of the alumni and undergraduates who take part in it.
Cornell Day has reached the capacity of the facilities available. Itis no longer practicable to advise alumni on this day to "just put a few boys in the car and come on." Arrangements must be made to reserve accommodations for the guests. Otherwise, conditions would become chaotic, and would eventually defeat the purpose of the day: to show prospective matriculants in orderly fashion the academic and undergraduate offerings of Cornell University with the expectation that many of these presumably carefully selected persons will wish and be able to enter the University.
There is no change inthe preparations made to welcome the alumni who are the transportation system of Cornell Day. These fortunate persons see the University at work and at play when it is not conscious oftheir observation. Their own satisfaction in a work well done is their special reward for the effort of enlisting for a good time in Ithaca.
Cornell is preparing to enjoy this year's annual visitation, and toextend a warm welcome to both the alumni and their guests.

NEW LUNCHEON CLUB OPENS
The new Cornell-Pennsylvania Luncheon Club in downtown New York opened March 17, with President Farrand and Dean Joseph Willits of the Wharton School atPennsylvania as guest speakers. The new club, open for luncheon every business day except Saturday, has the third floor of Oscar's Old Delmonico Restaurant, at 56 Beaver Street, corner of William, At itsopening it had 311 members, of whom more than xoo were Cornell alumni. G. Foster Sanford, Jr. of the University of Pennsylvania is president; Robert L. Bliss '30 is vicepresident; and Thomas R. Ludlam Ί i is treasurer.
TEA FOR BATAVIA GIRLS
The Cornell Women's Club of Batavia met forluncheon March 2.0 at the home of Mrs. Frank E. Owen (Natalie Walker) '2.4. Mrs. William H. Robbins (Florence Williams) '98, president of the Club, presided. Mary L. Casey '24 gave an account of her trip to the west coast of South America.
The Club will entertain with a tea at the YWCA on April 10, in honor of high school girls and of undergraduates home for the spring recess. Dr. Myrta Hunn'99 was selected chairman of the teacommittee.
The next regular meeting of the Club will beMay 15 at the home of Lura M. Ware '15.
MEMORIAL TO SMITH '81
An enduring and fitting memorial to a distinguished Cornellian is the Theobald Smith Memorial Laboratory dedicated March 19 at Albany Medical College. Dr. Theobald Smith received thePhB degree at Cornell in 1881 and the MD degree atAlbany in '83. He was the first to demonstrate the principle of immunity to disease through vaccination with dead bacteria, and in countless other ways pioneered in medical science. Scientific director of the Rockefeller Institutefor Medical Research from its founding in 1901, he became its president, and died December 10, 1934.
The new building in Albany, completed at a cost of$100,000, contains more than forty laboratories for medical research, lecture rooms, offices, and conference rooms. Representatives of seventeen leading colleges and universities took part inthe dedication program.
Cornell representative was Dr. Charles R. Stockard, professor ofAnatomy at the Medical College in New York, who spoke o n ' ' The Spirit of the Laboratory. He recalled the advances made by medical science since 1900, when "deficiency diseases were dark mysteries and vitamins were unknown;" pointed out that all great research is independent of time schedules and routine; and predicted that " t h e arrangements which bring forth life itself must some day be discovered in some laboratory.

ON THE CAMPUS ANDDOWN THE HILL

WITH SPRING VACATION upon us, Campus arguments about the Supreme Court are petering out.
ON GOOD FRIDAY afternoon the appropriate services of the Church were conducted in Sage Chapel by the Reverend Donald M. Cleary, Roman Catholic chaplain at Cornell. Though many distinguished prelates have preached there at one time oranother in the past, this is believed to have been the first time that Catholic services have been conducted in the University Chapel, which is, of course, open to all faiths and denied to none. The incident is in harmony with the religious hopes of the University in all time. It has greatly pleased the Campus, in a quiet way.
ROTC HORSE SHOW attracted more than 500spectators to theRiding Hall Saturday night. Undergraduates of both sexes rode Army mounts for the most part, but two of the seventy-five entries were Adalot, owned by Professor Leo C. Norris '2.0, Poultry, and Cody, owned by William D. McMillan '14.
MRS. FARRAND talked Thursday in Willard Straight to the local chapter of the American Association of University Women on'' The Inexplicable Psychology of Patriotism from a Woman's Point of View.''
MARCH NUMBER of Areopagus, "Cornell Journal of Opinion," sponsored by Barnes Hall, is out. It holds no good opinion ofthe required course in Hygiene or of the Cornell Daily Sun. Itbelieves in peace and also in discussing the part played by the church in the current Spanish situation. George H. Hildebrand, Jr., instructor in Economics, explains the Committee for Industrial Organization (sit-down strikes), and there are 2.2. advertisements. That isn't all, but it gives you a general idea.
A FEWYEARS AGO a non-resident named Charles Solomon wasarrested on the charge of offering for sale at the Junior Prom cigarettes loaded with marjuana. Marjuana is an insidious, habit-forming drug which is said togive the user pleasant illusions, but not to help him pass Mechanics. Campus ladies, deans of women, andeditors of alumni magazines had never heard of marjuana, but Detective Sergeant Pat Hartnett and District Attorney Arthur Adams had. Cigarettes charged with this substance arecalled "reefers," and lead to no good. Last week a State Senator charged that students of Cornell (also West Point cadets) were given to smoking reefers. Called upon for substantiation, he cited the Solomon

CORNELL WILL SEND no personal representative to the 200th anniversary of Goethingen University. The Administration will merely drop apolite message of greeting and good cheer in the letter box infront of Morrill. A year orso ago a similar invitation was received from Heidelberg University. As a matter of courteous, academic routine, and without thinking much about it, the Administration accepted that one"with pleasure." Almost instantly, any number of people started calling us pro-Nazi and what not, in print, by first-class mail, and over thelong distance telephone.
arrest, supra. That's about all, except that a group of students got together one evening, composed and sang joyously a ribald and amusing parody called "Old Man Reefer."
COLEMAN D. ARSINOF '38 of Cedarhurst has been elected president of the reorganized andrevivified Cornell Golf Club.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON twilight music at Willard Straight last week was furnished by the Ithaca Composers' Club. This is an organization of twenty local people who areactive in the field of original musical composition. The program included twocompositions for string quartets, one in B minor by Professor Andrew Haigh and another in D minor by Joseph Kirshbaum. These Sunday afternoon concerts are growing in popularity, and are filling Memorial Hall a little too full.
AN INTERMEDIATE CENSUS shows that business picked up greatly at Ithaca in 1935 as against 1933. Retail sales grew from 10 to 14 millions, number ofpersons employed from 12.10 to 1740, and payrolls from $1,604,000 to
$1,779,000.
NEWCOMER at the Willard Straight soda bar is the Skiball, said to have originated this winter at Lake Placid. It achieved instant popularity on its arrival in Ithaca. A Skiball looks like a gargantuan Old Fashioned, only the brown part is tea. You put a thick slice of lemon stuffed with cloves in the bottom of a large, heavy glass. On top of that you place two (or a great many more if you like) lumps of sugar which you crunch up with the lemon and cloves. Fill with freshly-made, scalding-hot tea and then stir for a while with a cinnamon stick. Skiballs are ten cents and very nice, too, when you've been out in the cold wind.

A HERD of six deer were seen Friday just a little south of Rogue's Harbor on the farm of Andrew Tarbell.
FRED F. SAMPSON, JR. of Mt. Vernon and Janet Coolidge of Greenfield, Mass., both Seniors, have been appointed cochairmen of the committee to solicit pledges to the 1937Class Memorial in the Alumni Fund.
JOHN G. NUTT '37of New York City won thespeaking contest for engineers conducted locally by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He spoke, or lectured, on "Machine Shop Inspection," illustrating his remarks with charts. By this victory, Nutt becomes the Cornell representative at a sectional contest sponsored by the Society at Brown this month.
HOTEL EZRA CORNELL, the hostelry that for oneday each year exists and operates under the guidance of students in Hotel Management, has already arranged itscurrent financing. The entire capital stock of $500 was oversubscribed by students themselves the first day the books were opened. Last year Hotel Ezra Cornell stock paid 50 percent. Try and buy some this year! The whole venture is conducted in a manner just as realistic as that, right down to keeping an eye open for bad checks, which are by no means unknown.
DR. LEWELL T. GENUNG '97, for sixteen years City health officer, has presented his resignation to take effect September 1. In his last report Dr. Genung recalls that when he assumed office April 1, 19x2., Ithaca was in the throes of a diphtheria epidemic. There has been but one case of diphtheria in the last five years and that in a family which refused immunization.
BERTRAM J. WESTON, a mature Englishman, is one of the many interesting new students matriculated this year. Weston is studying Rural Education and Sociology in the Graduate School, having received the Bachelor's and Master's degrees both from Cambridge and the University of South Africa. For the last five years he has been employed by the British Government on the Island of Cyprus, improving the agricultural practices of the Cyprian peasants. He expects to go back there after he gets through here.
LECTURES for the week include Professor Edgar A. J. Johnson, Economics, " A Just Price in an Unjust World," before the Current Events Class March 30; and Walter J. Mueller, Grad," Fifteen Months of German University Life," before the Deutscher Verein, April 1.

Receiving the BME and the MSdegrees atthe University of Minnesota, where healso taught mechanical engineering, heentered the Graduate School in 1887 and joined the Faculty in 1891as assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering. Four years later he was appointed associate professor of Machine Design and was promoted toa full professorship in 1898, resigning in 1903 to become a director and factory manager of the Smith Premier Typewriter Company inSyracuse. He held many patents on typewriter improvements, was consulting engineer for the Union Typewriter Company and forthe Remington Typewriter Company, and in 1913 returned to Ithaca as vice-president and engineer for the Barr-Morse Typewriter Company. He served two terms, 19051915, as Alumni Trustee of the University. During theWorld War he was a Major in the Ordnance Department, attached to headquarters of the Air Service, AEF, in Paris. He was the author of a textbook, Kinematics of Machinery, and with Professor Dexter S. Kimball wrote Elements of Machine Design; wasa fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and member of Sigma Xi and Psί Upsilon. Mrs. Barr (Katherine L. Kennedy) was also a student in the Graduate School in 1888-89, and John H. Barr, Jr. '13 is their son.
'98 ME(EE), '99 MME—EDWARD
PARKER BURRELL, March 2.1, 1937, at
his home, 2.9x3 Lee Road, Shaker Heights, Ohio. He was successively designing engineer, works engineer, works manager, andsince 1924director of engineering forthe Warner and Swasey Co. of Cleveland, Ohio. He directed the designing of all the large telescopes built by the company in the last twenty years, including the seventy-two-inch reflecting telescope for theobservatory at Victoria, B. C , and a model of the 2.00-inch telescope in process of fabrication at the Mount Wilson Observatory in California. He was the first to weld telescope tubes electrically, and devised a means of re-

ducing their length which resulted in marked economy in weight. Last June Case School of Applied Science awarded him the honorary degree of Doctor of Engineering. He was amember of several engineering societies and Sigma Xi.

'07 DVM—CHARLES GOFF THOMSON,
March 2.3, 1937,inSan Francisco, Calif. He had been superintendent of Yosemite National Park since 192.9. The New York Herald Tribune March 2.5 refers to him editorially as " o n eof the ablest men" of the National Park Service, and gives him credit for inaugurating, in Yosemite, the now general practice of laying out new roads in National parks so that instead of scarring the landscape they fit into it unobtrusively. Thomson became director of the Alabang Serum Laboratory in the Philippine Islands in 1908 and remained there nine years, three in charge of the military and civilian forces operating against the rinderpest, andthree as assistant director of prisons for the Philippine Government. As a Captain in theArmy hecommanded remount depots at Camp Gordon and Camp Dix in 1917, and from August, 1918, to May, 1919, as Lieutenant-Colonel, he commanded all troops at Lux, France.

PROFESSOR FRANK A . PEARSON '12.,
Agricultural Economics, urges farmers not " t o be disturbed by recurring predictions ofwild inflation that captivates the public imagination when prices rise" in a survey of theprice situation appearing in the March issue of Farm Economics, published by the Department of Agricultural Economics. Professor Pearson does notagree that *'present rise in prices ofbasic commodities isa symptom of runaway inflation in the world and in the United States, comparable to that which prevailed inCentral Europe after the World War. Since the United Statesis on the gold standard, the country will not experience violent inflation unless the

over the idleness among the 1,413 prisoners. "The association of so many men in idleness certainly is not conducive to their rehabilitation. No matter how deep may be the interest of the management in the well-being of the individual, the contaminating influence of men of this type in close contact is liable to nullify the good influences placed about them by warden, teachers, chaplain, and others.'* Directing no criticism at the administration of Warden Lewis E.

'17 AB—Reader's Digest for April relates how George J. Hecht, then editor of " an obscure charity-sheet in New York called Better Times," founded The Parents' Magazine, which at its tenth anniversary last year passed 400,000 in circulation. Conceiving the idea of a magazine to be devoted solely to the rearing of children, Hecht devised " a highly ingenious bit of financial machinery." "Boldly he applied to a large philanthropic foundation for a grant. The foundation agreed that the idea of parent education was praiseworthy, but declined to advance money to a privately-owned publication.Hecht surmounted this difficulty by suggesting that the foundation make financial grants to four great American universities—Yale, Columbia's Teachers College, Minnesota, and Iowa—for the purpose of furthering their researches in child welfare. The foundation agreed, whereupon Hecht promptly formed a company called The Parents' Institute, Inc. A controlling interest in this company was bought by the universities with the money granted by the foundation. The company publishes the magazine, the universities exert an advisory influence upon editorial policies, and the bulk of the profits are to go toward furthering research in child development and welfare work. . . . " Hecht was married in 1930; has one daughter, Susan; lives at 399 Park Avenue, New York City. He was business manager of The Cornell Era in 1916-17, and as an undergraduate compiled and edited the book, Above Cayuga's Waters.

CAMP OTTER
A Summer Camp for Boys with a Cornell Background
Boys' camps, like schools and colleges, develop in the course of time an individual character, tone, and tradition of their own.
Camp Otter in the Muskoka Region at Dorset, Ontario, in its twenty-six years of continuous, flourishing existence has achieved the individual identity of a wholesome, rugged, active camp that boys like and parents trust.
A Cornell Institution
It has also become something of a Cornell and Ithaca institution. Years ago, boys went to Camp Otter, passed on to the University, played on the teams, and returned

to the camp as counselors. Now these same boys are sending their own sons to Camp Otter to take up the torch andcontinuethe cycle. There haven't been any Camp OtterCornell grandsons yet, but it won't be long.

The Camp Otter Brand
It doesn't handicap a boy to go toCornell with theCamp Otter training and the Camp Otter brand upon him. Ithaca is full of people with Camp Otter connections—Farrands, Durhams, Tremans, Staggs, Bancrofts, Brauners, Morses, Crandalls, Baldridges, Smiths, etc. The boy's reputation that he made himself in camp becomes his own best letter of introduction to the Quadrangle.
Camp Otter is Fun
Camp Otter has its own lake in the Canadian forest, unspoiled fishing, wild life, substantial cabins, good food, water sports, unostentatious safeguards, canoe trips, horseback riding (without extra charge), swimming, and a full program of athletiεs and camp activities. A competent physician is in residence, and tutoring is available if desired.
Charges
The charges at Camp Otter are geared to modest incomes. The fee for the entire season of 8 weeks is$175.
