CENTS Professor Willcox Praised Senator Vandenburg Lauds Fine Work of Statistian on Problem of Re-Apportionment The role played by Professor Walter F. Willcox in the legislative fight over re-apportionment of the United States House of Representatives has brought a signal tribute from Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan. That fight, carried on since the federal census of 19x0, ended March 5 when a Congressional act providing for automatic re-apportionment became effective. In a letter to President Farrand, Senator Vandenberg, who guided the legislation through Congress, says: "I seriously doubt whether this latter victory could have been achieved except for the wholehearted and persistent cooperation which Dr. Willcox gave me in the crisis of our adventure. He led the movement which procured the consent of the advisory committee of the Census Bureau to the ministerial apportionment plan which has now become the law." This plan, in slightly different form, was originally suggested by Dr. Willcox, Senator Vandenberg points out and exexpresses the view that Dr. Willcox " has the right to feel that this new re-apportionment law—which permanently guarantees a prompt and honest decennial re-apportionment every decade hereafter—is a crowning achievement in his notable career." Congress required more than a decade to decide upon the method of apportionment now fixed by law. The new act corrects a constitutional lapse of eleven years, for the re-apportionment should have been fixed immediately after the federal census of 19x0. Dr. Willcox, one of the noted statisticians of the country, has been engaged in studies of re-apportionment for many years. He devised the method of socalled "major fractions" which was ap- plied for the first time after the census of 1910. When Congress became deadlocked over the question after 192.0, he suggested the ministerial re-apportionment method modeled after a law enacted in 1850. Senator Vandenberg points out that Congress "was besieged by other scientists whose devotion to academic mathe- matics blinded them to the larger aspects of the legal ani constitutional phases of our perplexity. Dr. Willcox led in this external academic fight which successfully sustained our contention that the mere 'method' was relatively insignificant as compared with the larger problem of validating the intent of the Constitution and salvaging representative government." TRUSTEES ORDER RAZING OF HULL MILL IN GORGE The Trustees have ordered the destruction of the historic Hull Mill. The building, acquired from Professor Charles H. Hull '86 and Miss MaryJ. Hull '93 in 192.6, will be removed for the further beautifies tion of Fall Creek gorge. Its razing marks the end of a venerable manufacturing establishment. The history of the mill goes back to the early years of the nineteenth century. The property on which it stands was sold in 1911 to Phineas Bennett who erected a grist mill in 1814 and shortly after a plaster mill. Power was generated by water from Fall Creek, carried along a wooden flume suspended on a framework mortised into the rock along the south wall of the gorge. The property was acquired in 18x7 by Jeremiah Beebe. Three years later, Ezra Cornell, the Founder, was made superintendent. The mill was entirely rebuilt. It was then that Mr. Cornell conceived the idea of constructing a tunnel to replace the unsatisfactoryflume. The tunnel is still a landmark of the gorge. It is 2.00 feet long, 13 feet high, and 12. feet wide. It was built at a cost of $1,000. A. M. Hull, father of Professor Hull, acquired the mill property in 1861 and operated the flour mill until his death, when his son and daughter took over the management. ATMOS, honorary mechanical engineering society, has elected to membership Eben H. Carruthers, Grad., Astoria, Oregon; Roger M. Bechstein '31, Pelham Manor; Horace H. Chandler '31, Maplewood, N. J.; Calvin A. Elwood '31, Menominee, Mich., and Mearick Funkhouser '32., Dayton, Ohio. OTTO BRUNO SCHOENFELD '31, New Orleans, has been elected to Aleph Samach, junior society. Sackett Estate Appraised Cornell Benefits Largely Under Will of Lawyer Who Served Long As Trustee Appraisal of the estate of Colonel Henry W. Sackett '75, who died December 9, 192.9, reveals that of his residuary estate, Cornell will receive half, amounting to $391,036. The estate was appraised at $1,346,2.50 gross and $1,115,318 net. Cornell also receives a bequest of $2.50,000 of which $115,349 had been paid during Colonel Sackett's lifetime, a remainder interest of $179,163 in the residuary estate, a legacy of $11,000, and books valued at $74. One fifth of the residuary estate is left for the Law School, to constitute a fund bearing the donor's name. The specific bequest of $150,000 is being used for beautifying the Fall Creek and Cascadilla gorges. The principal individual legatee is a sister, Miss Sarah Sackett of Ithaca. Other relatives, friends, and employes are remembered in the list of bequests. Columbia University receives a fund of $11,000, the income of which is to be used to create two scholarships in the School of Journalism. These scholarships are to be awarded to graduates doing the best work in the libel law courts. Colonel Sackett was a leading authority on the law of libel. Other public bequests are made to the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society, Empire State Society, Sons of the American Revolution, and St. Thomas' Church, Mamaroneck. His law partners, William P. Chapman, Jr. '95, Stanley D. Brown '05, and Harold L. Cross Ίi receive his law books and office equipment. For the beautification of the gorges, on which considerable progress has already been made, the will establishes the Sackett Landscape Fund and provides for the completion of the work already begun. Colonel Sackett's plan for beautifying the gorges was conceived in 1914, when he gave $10,000 to inaugurate the work. Of the $150,000 provided in the fund, half is to be used only as a permanent maintenance fund.

Seven errors by Handleman, shortstop, and Habicht, second baseman, contributed to the Ohio State scoring. Kermode, Ohio State hurler, held the Ithacans to seven hits, only one of them for extra bases. The Ohioans hit for extra bases freely, bunching several blows in the second inning to score eight runs. Sereyski started for Cornell on the mound, but soon gave way to Williams. Williams proved exceptionally wild, issuing six passes, and Schultz finished the game. Kappler, the converted infielder now stationed in left, was the only Cornell player to get two hits off Kermode's delivery. Hinchman led the Ohioans in batting with three safe blows, including a triple.

Treman, and a crowd of rowing enthusiasts, on Saturday afternoon there occurred the dedication of the new Pocock built varsity shell, christened the Charles E. Treman, which is to carry the crew perhaps to victory at Poughkeepsie this year. Mrs. Treman, widow of the late trustee who was for many years one of the rowing stewards, christened the boat. Jimmy Burke '31 coxswain, held a metal plate over the bow to prevent injury to the delicate shell from the blow of the christening bottle. After the ceremony the shell was taken over by the present varsity combination and the crowd watched the trial spin from the boathouse and surrounding banks of the Inlet. There will be a picture of the ceremony in the next issue of The Alumni News. PENNSYLVANIA IN FRONT Pennsylvania leads the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League as a result of the one game played last week. Yale's defeat at the hands of Columbia shoved the Eli nine out of first place in favor of the Quakers. Columbia won, 7 to 6, in the eleventh inning, reversing Yale's victory in their first meeting. Yale is in second place with two victories and one defeat, Columbia in third with one victory and one defeat, and Cornell and Dartmouth are tied with one defeat each. Princeton's nine has not yet played a league game. LACROSSE TEAM TIES The lacrosse team tied Princeton, i to i, in an overtime game at Princeton April 18, the second year in a row that the two twelves have finished deadlocked. Last year, the score was 2. to i. A goal by Winslow on a pass from Cruickshank early in the second period tied the score, after the Tigers had tallied late in the first period on a shot by Schwab. Cornell substitutes finished the regular game, but the first string went in for the ten-minute extra period and successfully withstood a determined Tiger offensive. Cornell pushed the attack hard in the opening minutes of the game, but fine defense work by Princeton and the work of Brooks, Tiger goal guard, prevented a score.

WOMEN FENCERS LOSE The women's fencing team lost its intercollegiate championship to New York University at New York April 18, but Jane E. Ross '30, Forest Home, retained her individual title by winning the eleven bouts in which she was entered. The championship was the third conducted by the Intercollegiate Women's Fencing Association, and New York University's victory was the second the team has scored. New York University won by defeating Cornell in the deciding team match of the meet. Cornell defeated Elmira College, 7 to2., and Arnold College, 8 to i, but lost to N. Y. U., 5 to 4. Other members of the Cornell team were Arlene J. Van Derhoef '32., Rochester, and Jacqueline M. Darrieulat '31, Dickerson, Md. Julia Jones of N.Y.U. placed second to Miss Ross in the individual championships, with Harriet Grasson of Elmira third. CHEST GOAL NOT REACHED A final report by the University Chest executive committee shows that this year's campaign brought in $3,311.05. The goal was $5,000. Last year, the committee attained a figure $1,2.18 short of its quota of $5,000, but made up $794 by a special appeal to Faculty members and Ithaca merchants. This appeal will not be made this year. This year's committee also has available $12.3 from an emergency fund established last year. This fund has been eliminated from this year's budget, and will not be available for the committee undertaking a drive next year. BEEBE POOL IMPROVED Unusually warm April weather has brought out the first of the swimmers to the Beebe Lake pool operated by the Athletic Association. Facilities at the pool have been improved. The island at the southern boundary has been graded. The plot will be seeded. Floodlights are to be installed on the new stone bridge recently constructed. A ten-foot diving platform has also been erected. THE CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS 303 JUST LOOKING AROUND HAIL TO THEE, blithe College Spirit! Whither art thou flown, by the by? We may accept that thou hast fled our Campus; or it is only the wraith of thee that animates wan Get-Togethers and unfestal Smoke-Fests. No more do the better students chant their Alma Mater in a happy trance; they sing from the side of the mouth, with the air of priests of old Egypt: these mummeries are all very well for the masses. No more do torch-bearers by the thousand escort departing teams with pomp; no more do initiates walk the streets disguised as babes and sucking candy sticks; and cows are found no more in steeples. Some dozen years ago the business men of our land conceived the luncheon club. They took Goodwill, Service, and Lunch for their bonds; and College Spirit for their patron deity. They took the old college gayety and good-fellowship and unceremoniousness; they took the college taste for the publicly ridiculous, and they took the college song. Aged and responsible citizens would sing in chorus such hymns as: "Old Macdonald had a farm. Ee-i, ee-i-o. With a quack, quack here, and a quack, quack there; here a quack, there a quack, here and there a quack, quack. Old MacDonald had a farm, Ee-i, ee-i-o." (The song is then amplified with the names and sounds of various animals, including a reference to a popular-priced automobile.) Now there are signs that College Spirit is deserting the frolicsomelunchers. I am told that they are a little selfconscious, a little weary of their burden of collegiatism. And if they deny her, shall College Spirit die? Ah no! She changes the skies above her, but not her marvellous vitality. There are the clearest of signs that she has found a congenial home. Russia! In their plays the comrades drop tools to do snake-dances, to play loud practical jokes, to sing swipes. They sleep in double-decker dormitories, even as in fraternities. Sport is the passion of the U. S. S. R. Did you read of the Easter pee-rade in Moscow? It explains what has happened to our own Spring Day. Gone Red. Put your ear to the ground and listen. . . . All together boys! Put some pep into it! Rah, rah, rah, sis, boom, bah! Soviet, Soviet, rah, rah, rah! Come on there, you guys, put over that Five-Year Plan! Fight! Fight! Fight! Yee-ow! Show your Soviet Spirit! Or, as we used to say, College Spirit.

THE AFTERNOON PULL STARTS WITH A LITTLE ADVICE FROM THE COXY Photo by Troy Studio 3°4 T H E C O R N E L L A L U M N I N E W S Sackett Estate Appraised (Continued from page 301) The specific bequest of $11,000 is to be set aside as a fund in memory of Colonel Sackett's father, Dr. Solon P. Sackett, for many years a physician in Ithaca. The income of the fund is to be used for purposes in connection with the work of the Faculty of the Medical College at Ithaca. Colonel Sackett died in New York in his seventy-seventh year, a few weeks after the Trustees had perpetuated his name by renaming the waterfalls in Cascadilla Creek Sackett Cascade. He has served the University as Trustee since 1899.

Geer '02 Develops Device to Prevent Ice from Forming on Airplane Wings A rubber "overshoe," developed by Dr. William C. Geer '02., research chemist, to prevent the formation of ice on the leading surfaces of an airplane, has been successfully tested at Akron, Ohio. The Goodrich Rubber Company, from whose vice-presidency Dr. Geer recently retired to return and make his home in Ithaca, conducted exhaustive tests with a monoplane. "We are fairly convinced," Dr. Geer has said, "that the Overshoe' is feasible and effective on any monoplane. The mechanics of the device have all been worked out." The device consists of inflated rubber tubes fastened along the front edges of the wings and other parts of the plane which cut into the wind. These tubes are expanded slightly three times a minute, changing the contour of the wing and flaking ice off as fast as it collects. Biplanes present a far more difficult problem than monoplanes because of the numerous struts connecting the two wings. The device is not so readily applicable to these struts. Dr. Geer developed the invention to its present stage in Ithaca, with the assistance of Dr. Merit Scott '2.0, research physicist. The experiments were financed by the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics. HOTEL DAY SET FOR MAY 8 The sixth annual "opening" of the Hotel Ezra Cornell, conducted for a day by students in the Department of Hotel Management, will be held May 8.

BASEBALL PLAYERS TESTIFY IN LAWSUIT FOR DAMAGES Echoes of the bus accident in which Cornell baseball officials and players were injured during the 19x9 southern trip were heard last week when depositions in the damage suit for $2.5,000 brought by John Haddock, assistant coach, were taken in Ithaca. The suit, against the Twin Coach Company of Cleveland, Ohio, is being tried in the Ohio courts, but because so many witnesses were in Ithaca their testimony was taken by Referee Fitch H. Stephens '05 who resides here. Haddock, Trainer Frank Sheehan, and Manager John Russell '2.9were the most seriously injured. The driver of the bus, which went off the road, was killed. Those who testified in Haddock's suit were Coach Paul Eckley '17, Captain Sidney Goodman '31, Harold Schultz '31, Lester M. Handleman '31, Dr. Harry A. Britton, assistant medical adviser, and Dr. Frank J. McCormick Ίo. Louis K. Thaler '2.5 is representing Haddock. 306 T H E C O R N E L L A L U M N I N E W S CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS ITHACA, NEW YORK FOUNDED 1899 INCORPORATED 1926 Published for the Cornell Alumni Corporation by the Cornell Alumni News Publishing Corporation.

Taylor '94, Trustee, donor of the new Law School building, and chairman of the finance committee of the United States Steel Corporation, was paid by more than ^o members and guests of the Cornell Law Association at a dinner April 17 at the Cornell Club of New York. Mr. Taylor, President Farrand, Judge Rowland L. Davis '97, Dean Charles K. Burdick, and J. Du Pratt White '90 were the speakers. Messages were received from Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, former Law School Faculty member; Judge Cuthbert W. Pound '87, Dean Edwin H.Woodruff '88, and Dean Frank Irvine '80 who were unable to attend. The diners paid silent tribute to the memory of Colonel Henry W. Sackett '75. Guests of honor included Judge Davis, Floyd L. Carlisle '03, Ex-Judge Harrington Putnam, Ex-Judge Clarence J. Shearn '90, Justice James O'Malley Όi, George R. Van Namee Όi, Harland B. Tibbetts '04, Jacob Gould Schurman, Jr. Ί8, George R. Pfann '2.4, and Randall J. Le Boeuf, Jr. '19. The message of Chief Justice Hughes read as follows: "I have received your very kind letter with respect to the meeting of the Graduates of the Cornell University Law School on Friday evening and I wish I could be present and add my tribute to the work of the school. I shall always count it one of the great privileges of my life to have been associated with the Law School in its early days and I prize the memory of the friendships there formed and which have continued unbroken. I send my greetings to the Alumni of the School and my best wishes for its continued prosperity." The message of former Dean Edwin H. Woodruff '88, was as follows: Your somewhat filial and almost reverent invitation to attend the Cornell Lawyers dinner on Friday evening arouses a host of vivid recollections, but perforce and regretfully I must resist the temptations to confront with pleasure so many of our former students. I suppose a teacher is expected to be ever grave and composed, but some of us are human and ever temperamental. One day he may look out over a class whose work is unprepared, whose 'equanimity amounts to absolute in- difference', and then he mutters to himself the words of the court preacher of Henry VIII Ύe are lumps of sin, born to an inheritance of HelΓ. The next day he faces the same class and finds them ready, thoughtful and possibly embarrassingly resourceful. Then he says proudly with the mother of the Gracchi 'These are my jewels'. But enough of the con- fessions of the superannuated teacher, looking backward. The real dynamic is in looking forward. To the further development and betterment of the Cornell Law School a vigorous, fresh im- petus has been given by the generosity of the Cornell law alumnus in whose honor you have come together tonight. I am sure each one of us extends to him the appreciation and grati- tude so amply and incomparably voiced in the 'Winter's Tale': 'time as long again Would be filled up, my brother, with our thanks: And yet we should, for perpetuity, Go hence in debt: and therefore, like a cipher, Yet standing in rich place, I multiply With one "We thank you", many thousands more That go before it.' The day of formal toasts and of their accompanying libations is said to have passed away. I revive the mode for the moment with this one: May the Cornell Law School be superior But without the airs of superiority." Judge Cuthbert W. Pound '88, of the New York Court of Appeals wrote: It is with extreme regret that I find myself unable to attend the Cornell Law dinner on Friday night. Great changes have taken place in the Law School since I became a member of the faculty in 1895, and since I left Ithaca in 1904. From low standards of admission, a short course and a small faculty, it has risen to be a graduate school of the first consequence. I am proud indeed of the graduates of those earlier days of whom I may mention yourself andJudge Davis as a former and the present official head of the Association of Law School Alumni. I am also proud to see the great progress that has been made under the leadership of Dean Burdick who has built on the foundations securely laid by men like Huff cut, Woodruff and Irvine. The Law School has been greatly favoredby the liberal attitude of the Trustees of Cornell University and by its generous benefactor, Mr. Taylor. Its standards are so high that it can be maintained for the present only at a financial loss. May those of the old school be among the first to aid the present organization through this critical period of its existence." Former Dean Frank Irvine '80, wrote: I have hoped to the last to attend theCornell Law Dinner Friday evening but business engagements forbid. I regret very much missing this opportunity to meet with the Cornell Law Alumni nearly all of whom I know and many of whom are well remembered and-uch cherished friends of my teaching days. I wish especially that I could extend my greetings to Mr. Taylor and others who have devoted their time, their thought, and the irfinancial means to the support and advancement of the school. I am sure the occasion will be an eventful one in the history of the school. The dinner was in charge of a repre- sentative committee composed of: Ex-Judge William L. Ransom, '05 Chairman; Walter R. Kuhn Ίi, Secretary Francis O. Affeld, Jr. '97; Neal D. Becker '05; Earl P. Bennett Όι; Lawrence Ben- nett '09; Judge William F. Bleakley '04; Robert P. Butler '05; Eugene Conroy '2.5; Harold L.

The other speakers will be present in person. THE STATE'S appropriations to the University for the coming year will be about three million dollars, a large increase over last year, says Assemblyman James R. Robinson Ό8. The largest single item is a $500,000 appropriation for the Warren Building of Agricultural Economics and Rural Social Welfare. This will probably be started next month. THE WARREN Building of Agricultural Economics and Rural Social Welfare will certainly make a nice letterhead. I hope they will find room there for the official recorded in the University Directory as Asst. County Agent in Charge of Central New York Farm Bureau Dairy Record Club Laboratory. 4' I HOPE TO SEE the Ezra Cornell Inn begun before snow flies, next Spring at least. Plans are under way to push this enterprise now that the shock of the stock market set-back has, to some extent, been weathered. This Inn is intended to stimulate tourist business and fit into the University and business life of the city."—Sherman Peer Ό6 before the Ithaca Merchants' Bureau. THE BEEBE LAKE swimming pool will be greatly improved this summer, according to the plans of the Athletic Association. The island bounding the pool on the south has been graded, and the sharp stones replaced by yielding and springy turf. Football floodlights will be installed on the new stone bridge. A tenfoot diving platform has been built. A season fee of $ι will be assessed, to cover the cost of the improvements and the expense of the lifeguards. Thus little by little we are getting this place pretty close to the heart's desire. THE UNIVERSITY CHEST Drive Committee has issued a report which is big with implications. You remember that this Chest is an imitation of Community Chest purposes and methods; it unites the various good works of the Campus in a single campaign for support. $3,312..05 was collected, of the $5,000 sought. Last year's campaign netted $4,566. The committee blames this poor showing on the lack of knowledge or sympathy on the part of the students, on the general economic depression, and on faulty organization of the drive and indifference of the solicitors. It is a courageous admission on the part of the committee, and it needed Christian humility to make it. The Sun publicly confesses what we all know to be the truth:'4 The students do not care. Whether this bespeaks revolting ingratitude or a typical perspicuity on the part of the students is quite immaterial—the piquant fact remains that the students are not particularly concerned about the continued existence and activity of the institutions which they have been asked to support." What a heartbreaking thing it must be for men consecrated to Christian service to fling their ardor against these cushioned walls, to fight the sea with sword-thrusts! THE FRESHMAN BANQUET was held on Saturday. Two hundred and fifty attended, out of about a thousand male Freshmen. It was certainly not like that in the olden days. Col. Joseph W. Beacham '97, who has contrived to make himself one of the most popular men on the Campus in his most unpopular role as Commandant of the R.O.T.C., was the guest of honor. Professor Charles L. Durham '99 and Robert E. Treman '09 spoke; R. J. Kane '34 of Ithaca was the chairman of the committee. THE THUMB TACK CLUB is holding its annual display in the Art Gallery. The exhibition of work by students, faculty, and townspeople, is varied and interesting. PROFESSOR Andrew C. Haigh and Ida Deck Haigh of the Department of Music were well received by the critics in a two-piano recital in the Town Hall, New York, on April 10. WILLIAM BELLER of New York, concert pianist, gave a recital in Willard Straight Hall on Sunday afternoon. This series has been extremely well patronized this year. S. R. O., as a rule. THE DRAMATIC CLUB repeated its stellar production of Behrman's "The Second Man," on Friday and Saturday. The cast acted with professional finish the amusing, but static and repetitious play. Once more we applaud Robert J. Harper '31 of Charlotte, N. C. He is our best actor since Franchot Tone '2.7.

"THERE is a rising tendency in some colleges in this country to develop pseudo-humanism and to train students in elegant leisure and graceful consumption. Groups advocating 'inner culture' are gaining more and more attention and are finding great popularity with undergraduates. The universities try to develop an esoterical culture for the few and I am afraid it will lead to their downfall." — Dr. Thomas Nixon Carver, Ph. D. '94, of Harvard, to a Sun interviewer. THE GREAT icicle on the south wall of Fall Creek was last visible to the naked eye on April 18. This is believed to be a record for quite a while * * * Some people are sentimental about the demolition of the Hull Mill at the foot of Fall Creek. It is very old and ugly; Ezra Cornell once worked there. So, I suppose, it is historic. Down with it. "I NEVER SEE any real drinking here. In fact I have never seen a student take a drink in Willard Straight Hall. If they do, they do it on the quiet. "At the soda bar the students are serious. I would think something was wrong if I heard someone burst out into song. And if someone laughed out loud, I'd look around to see if someone dropped their banana split in their lap." — The Memoirs of Stuffy de Mun, in The Cornell Yell. M. G. B. I COLLEGE WORLD | IN 1890 there were 157,000 students enrolled in American colleges. In 1900 the number had grown to 2.38,000; in 1910, to 356,000, in 1915, to 405,000. The War temporarily reduced college registration, but at the close it rose again rapidly until in 192.8-2.9 it passed the million mark. To put this in another way, in 1890, ιJ/£ per cent of the young people of college age in the United States were enrolled in institutions of higher learning. By 1916 this had risen to 10 per cent. In five years (τyLL-τrf) in xn institutions on the approved list of the Association of American Universities, the enrollment increased 2.5 per cent. In 41 of the larger institutions with an enrollment of more than 3,000 it increased during the same period x8 per cent. From 1890 to 1919 college registration increased 519per cent. 308 T H E C O R N E L L A L U M N I N E W S MISSING ALUMNI Class of if) 04 Bade, Charles E. '00*05 A.B. '04. Brinker, James A. 'oo-'oi A.
