Butsometimes parts of our bodies weaken or fail—and life itself may bethreatened. DOCTORS NEEDED "FRIENDLY" MATERIALS-Surgeons, seeking materials that could replace or strengthen fractures or weakened parts of the body, found that certain alloy metals are"friendly" to flesh and bone. They neither irritate nor harm the surrounding tissue. Special alloy metals that arestrong, enduring and noncorrosive are good examples. NEW PARTS FOR OLD—When used to replace broken joints or to strengthen damaged bone, these metal parts usually do an astonishing job of fitting right in with the body's functioning. Asa result, many persons who might otherwise be bed-ridden or crippled arenow leading normal lives. In other cases these metals areused asplates to replace parts ofthe skull, and as "screens" to reinforce tissue that has become weakened or torn. UCC SERVES MEDICINE AND INDUSTRY-Creating and producing more than 50 different alloys that go into metals to serve medicine and nearly every field ofindustry isone of the many important jobs of the people of Union Carbide.

A national committee of twenty-five non-Cornellian parents is headed by Will W. White of New York City, vice-president of Esso Export Corp. He wrote to all non-Cornellian parents of students who had not received financial aid from the University, soliciting their gifts to Cornell. In addition, regional committees were organized in Long Island under chairmanship of Herbert Tenzer; New Jersey, Ira Van Vliet; Brooklyn, Michael Kananack; Westchester County, Joseph Eigo; and NewYork City, Harry Wagonfeld. These committees invited all non-Cornellian parents in their areas to meetings which were addressed by Professor Robert E. Cushman, Government; Vice President Willard I. Emerson '19 of the Development Office; and Director of Admissions Herbert H.Williams '25. Thereafter, committee members solicited gifts from their fellow nonCornellians in the areas. Assistance was given to these efforts of non-Cornellian parents by the Office of University Development, with Joseph D. Minogue '45 as project director. He says that local alumni have been helpful in suggesting interested non-Cornellian parents as effective members of regional committees. This year, it is planned to organize working committees in additional regions. Gives Indian Birds VALUABLE COLLECTION of fifty-eight bird specimens from India has been presented to the Laboratory of Ornithology by William C. Dilger '49 of Hilton, graduate assistant in Ornithology. Dilger collected the specimens in 1945 while he was in the US Army. In the Dilger collection, which supplements a collection from Southeast Asia given some years ago by Luang S. Vijjakich, MS '34, are members of four genera and twelve species previously unrepresented in the University's Louis Agassiz Fuertes Memorial Collection of Birds. Included are the Openbilled Stork, the Tawny Eagle, the Crested Serpent-eagle, the Little Egret, and several species each of Mynas and Doves. The Fuertes Memorial Collection in Fernow Hall now numbers more than 23,500 catalogued specimens from virtually all parts of the world and ranks among the major university collections in this country. Dilger, an accomplished artist, made water-color sketches of almost all the birds he collected while in India, which have been admired by many outstanding Cornell Alumni News ornithologists. While working for the ogy and he recently contributed a paper MS, which he received in 1951, he com- on Indian zoogeography to the journal, piled a bibliography of Indian ornithol- Evolution. College Aids Philippine Agriculture SPECIALISTS from the College of Agriculture will help rehabilitate Philippine agriculture by an agreement recently made between Cornell and University of the Philippines. The thirty-month program, to be conducted at the college of agriculture at Los Banos under the direction of Professor Montgomery E. Robinson '14, Extension Service, Emeritus, will be financed by the Mutual Security Administration supplemented with funds from the Philippine Government. It is similar to one the University sponsored at University of Nanking when members of the Department of Plant Breeding worked on a cereal improvement program for China. The Cornell specialists will work with and help to train the Philippine staff and will engage in teaching and research. They aim to strengthen and expand research projects, develop ways to speed research results to farmers, and promote methods designed to raise the level of Philippine agriculture. Before the last war, the college of agriculture in the Philippines was regarded as the leading institution of its kind in the Orient. The purpose of the new program, Professor Robinson explains, will be to adapt to Philippine needs the methods fostered by land grant colleges in this country to increase agricultural production, efficiency of operation, profits to the farmer, and the standard of living of rural people. Agriculture accounts for four-fifths of the Philippine national production and nine-tenths of its exports. Problems of irrigation, plant disease control, development of better varieties of rice, corn, and other crops, seed distribution, rural credit, and farm tenancy will receive attention. Greater use of vegetables and fruits to improve the diet will also be stressed. An exchange of professorships and graduate training at Cornell for promising students from the Philippines are also included in the plans with the view of continuing an exchange of information between the two universities after the present thirty-month contract expires. Professor Robinson, who retired from the Extension Service July 1, spent six weeks this spring at Los Banos completing arrangements for the extended assistance. He started back in August to direct the project, accompanied by Professors George C. Kent, head of Plant Pathology; Charles A. Bratton, PhD '42, Agricultural Economics; and Alpheus M. Goodman '12, who retired August 1 after thirty-three years with the Department of Agricultural Engineering. A fifth member of the party is Professor Herbert K. Hayes, Grad '32-'33, retiring head of agronomy and plant breeding at University of Minnesota, who was acting professor at Cornell while in the Graduate School. Professor Robinson on his first trip met at the college of agriculture at Los Banos Francisco M. Fronda, PhD '22, professor of poultry husbandry and secretary of the college Leon G. Gonzales, PhD '27, head of agronomy; Francisco M. Sacay, PhD '31, head of agricultural economics; Dioscoro L. Umali, PhD '49, assistant professor of agronomy; and Nathaniel B. Tablante, MS '47, instructor in agricultural economics. Many other Cornellians are at University of the Philippines in other colleges and a large number live in and near nearby Manila, where there is an active Cornell Club. Institute Assists Liberia PREPARING a code of laws for the government and people of Liberia is a current undertaking of the Institute of International Industrial & Labor Relations. The Institute was established by the School of Industrial & Labor Relations about a year ago, the first such major educational program in an American university. Recognizing the importance in the current worldwide ideological struggle of developing and preserving capacities for cooperative relationships between management and labor, it employs education and research to explore the field and work toward improvement. The Liberian code is being developed under an agreement between the University and the US Department of State. The three-year project is directed by Professor Milton R. Konvitz, PhD '33, Industrial & Labor Relations, a specialist in constitutional and labor law. It is among the first Point Four projects for foreign aid to be set up in the field of law and social science. As a "pilot" undertaking, it may set a pattern for similar projects in other areas in Africa and elsewhere. Professor Konvitz sailed for Liberia, May 27, to confer with President William V. Tubman and other Liberian officials. A codification commission has been set up under the Liberian attorney general, with whom Professor Konvitz will make detailed plans for the preparation of the code. The actual work of drafting laws will be done here, Profes- sor Konvitz and his associates being assisted by various Faculties and Departments of the University. Other projects relating to problems of foreign areas in which the Institute is concerned include special educational programs for student groups from foreign countries, research in labor relations abroad, and training of young Americans for industrial relations work with organizations operating abroad. Faculty Appointments APPOINTMENT of Professor William H. Farnham '18, Law, as Dean of the University Faculty and Mrs. Dorothy V. N. Brooks of Denison University as Dean of Women was announced in June. New members of the Faculty are also appointed. Professor Farnham (above) succeeds Dean Carleton C.

Hinsey of the Medical College, who was Department chairman from 1936-39. Chicago, September 5, to which all Cornellians and their guests are invited. Director Clifford C. Furnas of the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory in Buffalo will speak on "Future Trends in Aviation" during the afternoon; in the evening, Dean S. C. Hollister of the College of Engineering will discuss the "Outlook for Engineering Education." Fraudulent Cornellian ANOTHER fraudulent Cornellian seems to have turned up in Kansas City, Mo. Ellsworth L. Filby ' 17 writes the NEWS : "Late in May, my office received a phone call from a Mr. Bissell asking if I were in town, etc. On Sunday, May 25, a man appeared at my residence stating he was Malcolm E. Bissell, a Cornellian who had originally been a member of the Class of 1918, mechanical engineer. He stated that he was financially broke pending receipt of a pay check and dividends from a block of stock in Fairbanks-Morse Co. which he had inherited from a relative in Rochester. This stock was tied up in a Pittsburgh bank, due to the fact that the officer who was handling the stock was in Europe. Mr. Bissell was an asthmatic and was attempting to work his way back to near Flagstaff, Ariz., where he had been living for some years prior to a trip to the East this spring. "To make a long story short, this tall and rather emaciated individual, who weighed about 150 and was about five feet eleven, needed cash and walked some five miles out to my residence. He carries Social Security card No. 571-245211. He claimed to have obtained my name from inquiry at the University Club in Kansas City. Whether or not I was taken for a ride remains to be seen, but on checking at the University I do not find any alumnus of this name." The University has no record of an alumnus named Malcolm E. Bissell. Periodically, impostors posing as Cornellians have approached alumni and obtained money from them. Reports of their activities published in the ALUMNI NEWS have sometimes prevented our readers from being thus victimized, and at least one such fraudulent Cornellian was jailed as an impostor after we reported his appearance several times. If any Cornellian is approached for money by a person who answers the description of this man, he is advised to call the po- September, 1952 39 lice with the information given here and ately, with description and complete to notify the ALUMNI NEWS immedi- details, so that others may be protected. Summer Sees Varied Activity T H E CAMPUS has been anything but dull this summer, with some 1800students here for the Summer Session, July 7-August 16, many conference visitors, and the activity of workmen putting up new buildings and repairing old ones. The Summer Session ended on a somber note: at about 8:30 a.m. on the last day, a man, his face disguised with a woman's stocking pulled over his head, walked into the Treasurer's Office in Day Hall, held up and slugged Harold J. Barnard, assistant cashier, and made off with about $5,000. The thief had not been apprehended at press time. Library Gets Face Lifted Particularly welcome to returning students this fall will be the improvements made in the University Library. The biggest operation is still going on outside. A new roof is being put on: the creaky and leaky red tiles are being replaced with new slates. A sub-roof of 2x6-inch timbers and heavy roofing paper is being put on before the slate is applied. The salvaged red tile is being saved for repair work on other buildings still using tile. Four hundred new, very comfortable, and sturdy wooden chairs have replaced the old squeaky bentwood chairs in the main reading room. The room is also being relighted and painted, and special ventilating machinery is expected to relieve the former hot stuffiness of winter which put students to sleep there. Assistant Director G. F. Shepherd, Jr., describes these welcome improvements with the warning that "We hope this does not convey the idea that all the problems of the Library are being solved. It is only an attempt to make more useful the limited space that is available. None of this postpones the urgent need for new or expanded Library quarters. Whatever is done to the old building will not be wasted in any new plan or development." Buildings Refurbished, Completed Busy workmen of the Department of Buildings &Grounds have rushed tofinish the renovating of Sage College which will be occupied by women students this fall. Last summer, the third and fourth floors were renovated; this year, similar work was done on the first and second floors, including reinstalling the kitchens and dining room, and additional renovations were made on the third floor. The renovation of Morrill Hall was started, the fourth floor getting the treatment this year. Willard Straight Hall dining rooms were redone. A classroom rehabilitation project, started last year, was continued this year in Frank- lin Hall, where two rooms were made over. Another Buildings & Grounds project got its start in Franklin this year: the improvement of washrooms in the buildings. A beautiful tile floor was laid on the main corridor of Stimson Hall and laboratories in the building were relighted. The second floor of Rand Hall and rooms in Goldwin Smith were also relighted. The Department did many routine painting jobs, among them the Department offices in Olin and the President's and Admissions offices in Day Hall. Anabel Taylor Hall and Kimball and Thurston Halls of the College of Engineering are nearing completion. The Albert R. Mann Agriculture & Home Economics library and classroom building is completed and its occupants are moving into it. Theatre Gives Productions Summer Theatre opened its season with the Ithaca Community Players in "Tambou," July 10, 11, and 12. This original drama, written by Seyril Schochen, and produced under direction of her husband, Martin Rubin, had been given earlier downtown, with great success. It was enjoyed by the audiences in the Willard Straight Theater. Laboratory Players of the Department of Speech & Drama repeated July 18 and 19 their extremely successful production of T. S. Eliot's poetic drama dealing with the theme of sin and itsexpiation, which was given four performances last April. The leading parts were carried out well by Jarka Burian, Grad, as Harry, the beleagured youth; Janice A. Gravel '53 as the mother, Amy; Eleanor M. Ringer, Grad, as the aunt; and Carol A. Kare '53 as the girl, Mary. Professor H. Darkes Albright, PhD'36, Speech & Drama, directed the production and the fine set was designed by David Flemming, Grad. "Yes, M'Lord," by William D. Home, an English comedy, was presented by the Summer Players July 25 and 26. After a lagging first act, the actors caught the pace, and the second and third acts were sprightly and amusing. Edwin Hansen, Grad, as Beecham, the butler who suddenly becomes a social equal with his employers, the Earl and Countess of Lister, did a superb job. Herbert L. Smith, MA '50, directed the comedy and played the part of the absent-minded and confused Earl to perfection. Others in the cast were Janice A. Gravel '53, Carol Holden, James Elrod, Jean Webster, Joseph A. Withey, MA '47, and Leila Stein as the saucy and vivacious maid, Bessie. Summer Players' next offering, August 1 and 2, was George Bernard Shaw's "Village Wooing," with William Saroyan's "Hello Out There" as a curtain raiser. The production of "Village Wooing," directed by John G. Linn, PhD '51, assisted by Mary Linn, Grad, was excellent. Shaw's "comediattina for two voices" analyzes through three amazing conversations what happens when a chattering female determines to catch a taciturn writer. Harold Hogstrom, Grad, played the persecuted guide-book man, A, and Daphne Hogstrom, Grad, the ever-advancing lady, Z. The Players presented well the hilarious "Exaggeration," "Is Life Worth Living," by Lennox Robinson, August 8 and 9. It is the story of the effect on a small town in Ireland of the visit of a troupe of travelling players. Judd Best '54 was John Twohig, proprietor of the inn, and his sister Lizzie was Martha Murrell '48. Stars and heads of the travelling troupe were well characterized by Beatrice Rapport and Charles Dispenza and Eddie Twohig, the son most affected, was Gerald Gordon. David M. Bartlett '53 was the comic figure of Peter Hurley. The play was directed by Edwin Hansen, Grad. Conferences Bring Thousands A continual succession of conferences kept most divisions of the University busy this summer. The annual State 4-H Club Congress brought approximately 1000 club members from all parts of the State. The Poultrymen's Get-Together was another large conference. More than 300 persons were here for the eighth annual Dairy Industry Conference. One hundred and forty machine tool salesmen from eighty-six firms in a dozen States and Canada came for a week - long "refresher course;" seventy-five seedsmen and growers looked over the research plots of the Plant Breeding and Vegetable Crops Departments; and fifty industrial safety directors from plants throughout the State spent two days considering "Human Factors in Industrial Accident Prevention." September 8-11 comes one of the largest gatherings of scientists ever held at the University, a meeting of the American Institute of Biological Sciences for which 3,000 to 3,500 persons are expected. Cornell Plantations Idea COMPLETE STORY of the Cornell Plantations is told in the Summer issue of its quarterly by the various members of its committee on policy and management. Professor Laurence H. MacDaniels, PhD '17, summarizes it as "a concept and an idea, part of which already has a firm basis in fact and accomplishment, but much of which is still a dream. The 40 Cornell Alumni News reality is the wonderful natural setting of Cornell University—the gorges, hills, lake, and valley—all of which make a combination not duplicated anywhere. The dream is the development of this area insofar as it is controlled by Cornell University into an integrated plan, which takes advantage of this natural beauty, makes some areas more accessible with paths and roads, and provides protection, supervision, and maintenance according to over-all plan . . . ." Most alumni will find interest in the varied aspects of this important idea, which are well set forth by those members of the University who are directly concerned with each of them. Interested Cornellians may be able to obtain the Summer issue of The Cornell Plantations by writing to the editor, Professor Bristow Adams, 112 Roberts Hall. Glee Club Concert EDITOR: At the time of the Class Reunions early in June, the writer was much pleased at the concert of the Glee Club. The fine voices and direction could not have failed to delight any one in the large audience. However, it was with an uncomfortable feeling that I listened to the master of ceremonies whose introductions were pitched on such a low plane. His attempts at humor were beneath the dignity of Cornell University and struck a discordant note. —ALEX. W. DANN '07 History Repeats EDITOR: My thrill of a lifetime came September 20, 1922, at the close of my registration in Cornell University for the first time. At the end of that first day in Ithaca came the "Frosh Get-Together" which I attended with hundreds of my Classmates. Here, for the first time, I heard on the Bailey Hall organ the imposing Cornell "Alma Mater." It took nearly three seconds for the majestic strains to die away, for the hall accoustics were poor. That made it all the more impressive to a poor dazed Frosh. And then Livingston Farrand, at the close of his first year in Ithaca, greeted us with all his warmth of character, holding to his lapels as we were to see him do so many times later. And thus was born the Class of 1926 Cornell, now more than a quarter-century gone from the familiar scene. A small Frosh returned to his rooming house that night knowing in his heart that he "belonged," even as his mother before him and his child to come, that goes out to Ithaca this year. —FREDERICK R. HIRSH_, JR. '26 September, 1952 Now In My Time! AFTER A CERTAIN AGE, one academic year blends with its successor. But each September, there is a little thrill of excitement in looking over the newly-arrived young stock. One more long-legged, loose-jointed Freshman is nothing for an Old Timer to get worked up about, but the boy becomes pretty interesting when they tell you he's the great-grandson of John Dougles '76 and you recall that you danced with his grandmother at the Junior Prom of 1903. In my time, the arrival of any child of a Cornell graduate was enough of a rarity to cause comment. In September, 1899, the first Class was but thirty years out of college and there had been but four members of that distinguished group, scarcely enough to create serious "legacy" problems for the Office of Admissions. One of the striking peculiarities of Cornell, the significance of which many of its alumni fail to grasp, is its incredible youthfulness. One does not have to be ancient of days to have studied under professors who were in the original Faculty or to have known members of every Class. Even so, Old Timers are becoming aware that we're working up rapidly to the University's Centennial and wondering what, if anything, is being done about it in high places. The announcement of a committee to do some basic and unhurried planning for a proper celebration of an important birthday would be comforting to a lot of old coots who realize they probably won't be around in 1968 to make themselves disagreeable about, the faulty arrangements. The Semi-centennial was well handled and produced some moving episodes, but would have been more adequate if the committee had been less hurried. The year's postponement from 1918 to 1919 caused by World War I was deeply welcomed by Judge Hiscock, Colonel Sackett, and Mr. Sanderson! However youthful in comparison with European foundations, and with some of those on our Eastern seaboard, a University must regard itself as grown up when it's a hundred years old, and should adopt some of the recognized customs of academic maturity. And some of those observances, to be properly carried out, should be in preparation now. The pageantry that commonly goes with such celebrations, the gathering of the clans, the display of celebrities, the exchange of felicitations, and even the endowment drive, can be quickly organized, but some of the more enduring things take time. A noteworthy publication is one such thing. No adequate history of the University has ever been written, although studies valuable in the production of such a work have been made from time to time. All the complete biographies of Ezra Cornell have been laudatory "appreciations." There has never been a cold laboratory dissection of the mixed abilities, virtues, and shortcomings that combined to form his extraordinary life and character, which one needs to know about in order to understand the peculiarities of the University which bears his name. The production and publication of either or both books would constitute a proper way to mark the Centennial. But if neither of the suggested works is feasible at this time, much of the same ground could be covered, and in a noteworthy fashion, by a Centennial publication of the longhidden White Diaries, carefully edited and bristling with footnotes in explanation and amplification of the text. Some local idols might be shattered and some phantoms laid by such a publication, just as they were by the deciphering of the Pepys Diaries; but nothing else could constitute a more useful contribution to our better understanding of the incubation and birth of Cornell and the relation thereof to a changed view of univerity education which became general in the second half of the nineteenth century and is vividly exemplified in the accomplishments of Gilman at Johns Hopkins, Eliot at Harvard, and White at Ithaca. If such a work is to be attempted and made ready for publication in 1965, or even 1968, it should be planned, underwritten, and gotten at right now if it is to be produced in a thorough, scholarly, and unhurried manner worthy of its importance. With that job provided for, the other elements of the celebration would fall readily into conventional patterns. But we venture to suggest, moved by September and the phenomena referred to in the early paragraphs of this piece, as a novel feature an unostentatious display of the surviving generations in unbroken lines. By 1968, there should be great-great-grandchildren of Cornell men and women coming along to add to the other evidences of the University's productivity in its first century. A nice touch, we submit! 41 honeybees going about their industrious ! INTELLIGENCE I pollinating business. Two sections, one of old and one of new bog, were partic- ularly beautiful and I have been told by mail that they set an enormous pro- // portion into fruit, a lot of uprights bearing as many as six berries. My friend IT'S BEEN a pleasant summer in Con- necticut's Litchfield Hills. We and our guests have been blessed Horticultural with prime out-of-door Notes weather, punctuated by a two-day rain in early July that put weight on the early blue- berries followed by a downpour on Au- gust 5 and 6 that asured a worthwhile late crop. It has been interesting to see how new bushes are establishing them- selves in a cousin's field formerly grazed regularly but now left largely untenant- ed. Trash does, too, so I carry clippers and go for thistles and blackberry bram- bles, especially near crjpice bushes. I am also watching a recently-lumbered-over tract to see how soon blueberries estab- lish themselves there. Some Ithaca friends were introduced to the high-bush variety for the first time and were properly impressed. Branches so tall that you can't even pull them down certainly earn an admiratory exclamation. I am sorry to relate that my crusade against the use of the word huckleberry (an inferior fruit, full of seeds) got a rude setback when the local storekeeper employed it. I think he did it to give a bucolic touch before some city folk; he's in his eighties and has kept store here for at least fifty years (used to sell me all-day suckers, sarsa- parilla, and licorice sticks when I was a boy), so ought to know better. 4fr 3f 5f deserves a good crop after all he has gone through. He spent countless nights clear into June flooding against frost or standing by on frost warnings. The weather was unfavorable when he wanted to put kerosene on to kill certain weeds and grasses. Then there was a constant succession of sprays and treatments for insect pests, with the great drought overshadowing everything. We kept the water high in the criss-crossing ditches and sprayed un-level bog with a fire pump and hose. "Dry bog" just had to sit and take it; many of those on the Cape are in this category and the global crop probably suffered appreciably. Chemical weeding seems to be the coming thing in bog management. It stands to reason that yanking weeds up also disturbs the root systems of the vines, nor does the tramping around of the weeding squad do them any good. Weed killers are getting more and more selective every year, the latest being 2.45T. Best protection is a healthy fullyvined-in field. Mechanical pickers in place of hand scoops are also alleviating the labor problem. They do a good job of pruning at the same time. Fertilizing through the leaves instead of through the roots is another new wrinkle. They don't fertilize so much in the East as they do in Wisconsin. In general, I should say that yield per acre is gradually rising, which is just as well, as it takes five years to build a new Cranberries, as I mentioned last year about this time, have become my second love.

Architects Gather NINETY CORNELL ARCHITECTS at the annual convention of the American Institute of Architects in New York City, June 25, lunched together at the Cornell Club. Dean Thomas W. Mackesey, Architecture, reported on the state of the College and Frederick Wise '39, president of the Architecture Alumni Association, presided. The group unanimously adopted a resolution calling on the University to adopt a fresh and modern type of architecture for new buildings on the Campus, and made plans to meet again at the 1953 AIA convention in Seattle, Wash. The luncheon custom was started two years ago. Paul W. Drake '21 arranged this year's gathering. New Vaccine for Dogs COMBINATION VACCINE for protecting dogs against their two most serious infectious diseases, distemper and infectious hepatitis, has been developed at the Cornell Research Laboratory for Diseases of Dogs. The work was done by Professor James A. Baker '40, Director of the Laboratory, Dr. George C. Poppensick, MS '51, research associate, and Professor James H. Gillespie, Bacteriology, with cooperation of Professor Hadley C. Stephenson '14, Therapeutics & Small Animal Diseases, Dr. Wayne H. Riser of Skokie, 111., and Dr. James H. Mark of University of Pennsylvania. The vaccine, which was first announced at the recent annual meeting of the American Veterinary Medical Association in Atlantic City, N.J., is said to be the first in veterinary medicine to combine "live viruses" of two diseases. The Cornellians reported that the vaccine gives "durable immunity" against distemper and infectious hepatitis and that experiments with 250 dogs had proved it "safe and effective." Supplies of the vaccine are expected to be soon available to veterinarians. A vaccine for durable immunity against distemper has been used for several years, but there has been no comparable one for infectious hepatitis, a liver and kidney ailment which proves fatal to 10 per cent of the animals contracting it and permanently injures those that recover. About 50 per cent of all dogs have had the disease The Cornell research team first developed a vaccine for infectious hepatitis, 42 Cornell Alumni News then found.a means of combining it with distemper vaccine. The dual vaccine can be administered in one innoculation. It is a combination of distemper virus which has been cultured in eggs and infectious hepatitis serum taken from infected dogs. Antiserum, a blood component containing immune bodies, is added to eliminate reactions. Dyett '97 Scholarships numbers of the two concerts for inclusion on this record.

Kane '34, Director of Athletics, who was manager of the American track and field team at Helsinki, were guests of the Cornell Alumni Association of Southern California at a dinner in Los Angeles, June 25.The visitors were there for the Olympic trials. Among their hosts at the dinner were former Varsity track men Charles C. Carter '22 and Joseph R. Mangan '34 and former football players Claude E. Emmons '12, Walter R. Rollo '22, Will D. Templeton '42, and Jan Rus '50. Seven Cornellians came 120 miles from San Diego for the dinner. After dinner, Kane was introduced and spoke of the history of the Olympic Games, including the scandals of proselyting as carried on long ago. He then called on the three Olympic track team contenders, who spoke briefly: Varsity team captains Charles H. Moore, Jr. '51 and Meredith C. Gourdine '52, and Lieutenant Walter S. Ashbaugh '51, USAF. The program closed with the showing of the film, "Spring In Ithaca." At this dinner, Claude S. Hyman '17, secretary of the Southern California Club, took our cover picture of the four speakers especially for the NEWS. September, 1952 43 Cornellians at Olympics CORNELL played a vital part in what has been called "the greatest of all Olympic festivals/' at Helsinki, Finland, from July 20-August 3. Four of its sons were identified with the magnificent men's track and field team of the United States of America: Lieutenant Walter S. Ashbaugh '51, USAF, Meredith C. Gourdine '52, Robert J. Kane '34, manager of men's track, and Charles H. Moore, Jr. '51. John T. McGovern '00 served, as usual, as legal counselor for the US Olympic Committee and R. Harrison Sanford, Varsity crew coach, was assistant to Russell H. Callow of the US Naval Academy as coach of rowing. The three competitive members of the contingent all placed in their events. Ashbaugh was fourth in the hop, step, and jump. Gourdine was second in the broad jump, and Moore won the 400meter hurdles and ran on the secondplace USA 1600-meters relay team. Ashbaugh, in taking fourth in an event he never tried until last April, did better in this event than any American since the 1912 Games. His jump was 50 feet 5.91 inches. The winner, Adehemar F. DaSilva of Brazil, broke the Olympic and world's record no less than four times during the competition, his best being 53' 2.59". Gourdine, with a leap of 24 feet 7V2 inches, was just 2ιA inches behind Jerome Biffle, likewise of USA, who won the gold medal. George Brown of UCLA, the other USA broad jumper and the only man jumping today ever to exceed 26 feet, was unable to make the final. Charley Moore—or as the elided European version would have it, "Shallymur"—was one of the authentically bright, shining stars among the most brilliant constellation ever gathered together in the history of track and field. He broke the Olympic record for 400meter hurdles in the semi-final heat with a smooth 0:50.8 performance which lowered the old mark by % 0 of a second and tied the performance again in the final. Jurii Lituev of Russia was second in 0:51.3. Charley also ran on the second-place, 1600-meter relay which ran less than one yard behind victorious Jamaica, which broke the world and Olympic record with a stunning 3:03.9. The USA team was also well under the old world's record of 3:08.2 with a 3:04.0 masterpiece. With Moore were Ollie Matson, Gene Cole, and Malvin Whitfield and they ran an average 0:46.0, and were beaten! Of the twenty-four events in men's track and field, the United States athletes won fourteen, and in nine events either broke or tied the Olympic record. Rowing was also a successful endeavor for the USA. The US Naval Academy won the blue ribbon eight-oared event, Russia taking second. A further note from John T. McGovern '00, from his long experience at Olympic Games, says: "This, on my return, is simply to state that Bob Kane's administration of track and field was the best ever. And our three athletes, as a group, made the best record on points. Gourdine missed the gold medal by about 4/100 of one percent. Moore was in a class by himself. And Ashbaugh was the first American ever to show class in the hop, skip, and jump."—Ed. Football "Guesses" " O U R PROSPECTS at best are only fair," commented Coach George K. James the other day when quizzed about his 1952 Varsity football team. Coach James has been almost a traitor to his profession in his penchant for truth in his answers in other years to silly questions as to his team's chances. Performance, however, has verified his usually optimistic and always honest appraisals in the last five years. There are probably some who suspect that Lefty is merely trying this time to ingratiate himself with the brethren in the coaching fraternity and is crying when he ought to be laughing, but facts seem to prove otherwise. When the squad convenes at Schoellkopf, September 4, there will be twentysix letter men missing from last year, twenty-five having graduated or are in the fifth year at Cornell, and one being ineligible for scholastic reasons. Among the lost Seniors were such standouts as Captain Victor Pujo, James F. Jerome, Edward Leo, Charles W. Metzler, Donald S. Follett, Frank C. Micklavzina, and Richard G. Hagenauer, from the line, and backfield men Rocco J. Calvo, John Dorrance, Lyndon C. Hull, William T. Kirk, Stuart O. Merz, William F. Scazzero, and Harold Seidenberg. "Our problem is one of reconstruction and the absence of spring practice has made that task exceedingly difficult," remarked Coach James. "Right now we have eleven all-around football players, and by that I mean there are only eleven with enough experience and, to my knowledge now, sufficient ability to face our schedule and do an acceptable job both on offense and defense." And with that he named them: Richard T. Cliggott '53 and Todd L. Kolb '53, ends; Stanley Tsapis '54 and James D. Quinby '53, guards; Charles K. P. Fratt '53, Clarence G. Fauntleroy '54, and Albert E. Pyott '53, tackles; Russell A. MacLeod '53, center; and Captain William J. Whelan '53, Robert G. Engel '53, and J. Albert Sebald '54, backs. Others he named as one-way players of proved ability were John E. Jaeckel '53 and Herbert J. Bool '54, quarterbacks; Walter P. Knaus, Jr. '53 and Vincent P. Giarrusso '53, ends; William I. George '53 and John R. McCarthy '53, tackles; Ronald W. Kasserman '54, center; and Anthony N. D'Agostino '54 and Lloyd R. Walters '54, halfbacks. Coach James plans to continue his two-platoon system with which he has had so much success in the last five years. "In the past," he says, "we have loaded our offensive positions with experienced players, who were capable of playing both ways. Our defensive unit has always included inexperienced players with grit but sometimes little savvy. We shall have trouble trying to select the right boys for this platoon this year until we have had at least two or three games. We did not have the chance to see them as we did before when spring practice afforded the opportunity. There will be more guessing done this year, so we hope we guess right!" The winless Freshman team of last year is counted on to fill some gaps, but there again Coach James deplored the lack of opportunity to work with these boys before the season. His choices of the Sophomores at the present time are Joseph P. Simon and John D. Braun, tackles; James Van Buren, guard; Guy Bedrossian, fullback; and Joseph Marotta and C. James Callahan, quarterbacks. Miss Coach Conti '41 The coaching staff remains the same as last year except for the singularly serious loss of Major Louis F. Conti '41, defensive coach and director of scouting assignments, who was ordered back to active duty in the Marine Air Corps. John O'Neill, who coached the Junior Varsity team last season, will replace Conti. Arthur B. Boeringer, line coach> Backfield Coach Harold J. McCullough '41, End Coach Walter Bruska '49, and Defensive Coach Robert Cullen will 44 Cornell Alumni News serve with the Varsity. Patrick J. Filley will again tutor the Freshmen. It will be noted in the rugged schedule which follows that the first three teams listed were not under the Ivy nospring-practice regulation.

"Ivy Group" Football Rules NEW AGREEMENT to regulate football for Cornell, Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Yale has been announced, effective July 1, 1952. It formalizes the eight-point program announced last February by the presidents of these institutions, including prohibition of spring practice, "clinics" for high-school coaches, and post-season games. It also reaffirms and amplifies the agreement adopted by the group in November, 1945. For the first time, the eight schools are formally designated as the "Ivy Group," and the new agreement provides that amendments "pertaining to membership or the inclusion of other sports shall be made only with the approval of all the institutions acting through their respective governing boards." The agreement contains the provision, announced in February, that each member will play every other member at least once every five years, beginning the fall of 1953, but stipulates "so long as the President's Policy Committee is satisfied that comparable academic standards and intercollegiate athletic policies are being maintained within the group." Concerning eligibility of football players, the new agreement substantially revises that of 1945. To be eligible for a varsity team, a student must have "previously filed with the appropriate authorities of his institution a written statement in which he agrees to abide by the policies and spirit of the Ivy Group agreement." Any year missed for scholastic or disciplinary reasons is now to be counted as one of the three academic years to which eligibility is limited. Players must not only be in good scholastic standing, but must be "making normal academic progress, both qualitatively and quantitatively," toward a recognized degree. Prohibition of athletic scholarships is reaffirmed and it is agreed that "Athletes shall be admitted as students and awarded financial aid only on the basis of the same academic standards and economic need as are applied to all other students." As announced last February, "No student entering after September 1, 1953, shall be eligible whose secondary school education was subsidized or whose post-college education is promised by an institution, individual, or group of individuals not closely related to the family as a consideration for his attending the particular institution." A new Presidents' Policy Committee is provided in addition to the two former operating committees, on administration and eligibility. Composed of the eight presidents, the committee "shall have full and final responsibility for the determination of all agreed policies of the group and with respect to the organization and operation of the Committees on Administration and Eligibility. It is expected that the Presidents' Policy Committee will from time to time request the Committees on Administration and Eligibility to study and report separately on specific policy problems. Initially, both committees are requested to report on ways and means of reducing the number of games scheduled and on any adjustments which may be desirable in the freshman football programs of the group." Affirmative vote of six members of the committee is required for its decisions. Continue Former Committees The Committee on Administration, composed of the eight administrators of intercollegiate athletics, is to handle operational matters other than eligibility, "to keep the conditions under which intercollegiate football is conducted under close and constant review and appraisal," and to collect from members "information affecting the organization, support, and conduct of intercollegiate football, other than with respect to eligibility . . ." Decisions of this committee require majority approval. Robert J. Kane '34, Director of Athletics, is the Cornell member. Committee on Eligibility comprises a full-time faculty member of each institution, "to administer rules of eligibility established by agreement of the participating institutions." This committee is supplied by each institution with complete information on admissions records, course grades, academic standing, prior academic connections, and financial aid of all players, and "any questions or rumors concerning the status of any player in connection with matters covered by this agreement shall be made the subject of full and frank discussion in the Committee on Eligibility in order that the utmost mutual confidence and respect may be maintained on these matters between members of the group." Decisions of the committee require majority approval of its members and "shall be enforced by the proper insti- tutional authorities." Professor Frederick G. Marcham, PhD '26, History, has been the Cornell member of the committee since it was established in 1945. The agreement recounts that since 1945 the participating schools have "enjoyed a successful experience in this cooperative approach to their objective of continuing intercollegiate football in such a way as to maintain the values of the game in the service of the main purposes of higher education." The group affirm their convictions that under proper conditions intercollegiate competition in football and other organized athletics offers desirable development and recreation for players and a healthy focus of college loyalty. These conditions require that the players themselves shall be truly representative of the student body and not composed of a group of specially recruited athletes. They further require that undue strain upon players and coaches be eliminated and that they be permitted to enjoy the game as participants in a form of recreational competition rather than as professional performers in a type of public spectacle. In the total life of the campus, emphasis upon intercollegiate competition must be kept in harmony with the essential educational purposes of the institution." The agreement was signed for Cornell by President Deane W. Malott and by Presidents James B. Conant of Harvard; John S. Dickey, Dartmouth; Harold W. Dodds, Princeton; A. Whitney Griswold, Yale; Harold E. Stassen, Pennsylvania; and Henry M. Wriston, Brown; and Vice-president Grayson Kirk of Columbia. Fifty Years Ago September, 1902—Stimson Hall, new Medical building, opened . . . Sibley Dome soon to be ready for occupancy. Thirty-five Years Ago September, 1917—On account of the great importance of the work to the Army, the University will devote the new Drill Hall exclusively to the School of Aeronautics . . . . Student enterprises are readjusting themselves to the wartime loss of upperclass directors. A Sophomore, A. F. Hinrichs, got out the first number of the Era almost singlehanded. The work of editing and publishing the Sun and the Widow, also, falls more than ever before to Juniors and Sophomores . . . . Shiverick, Miller, Gillies, Carry, Eckley, Ryerson, Benedict, Speed, and Anderson of the 1916 football team, are all in military or naval service. "Cornell probably cares more September, 1952 45 about shining in France than at Franklin Field." Thirty Years Ago September, 1922—When last heard from, Elwyn B. White '21 and Howard B. Cushman '22, the flivver jongleurs, were in North Yakima, Wash., having cruised from New York through the intervening States and part of Canada. When the muse and the cigar-box fiddle failed to produce grub and gasoline, they dug irrigation ditches and sold pocket adding machines, or took any odd job that was both remunerative and honorable. Twenty Years Ago September, 1932—-The new $60,000,000 medical center, home of the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical College Association, was formally opened September 1 . . . . Walter C. Teagle '99, Trustee, has taken direct charge of a nation-wide campaign to create jobs for unemployed men . . . . The engagement has been announced of Miss Hester Bancroft '22, daughter of Professor and Mrs. Wilder D. Bancroft, to Romeyn Berry '04, Graduate Manager of Athletics. The wedding will take place late in October. Engineers Build Control POWER AND CONTROL system which simplifies operation of high-speed electric dynamometers and protects the operator and equipment against manipulating errors and equipment failures has been developed in the Heat Power Engineering Department of Sibley School of Mechanical Engineering. Dynamometers are used to measure the power output and performance of engines and other prime movers. They are dangerous if the prime mover breaks or the electric power fails during a high-speed run. Developed under direction of Professor Israel Katz, MME '44, the new equipment was built and installed in the West Mechanical Laboratory by University mechanicians with William H. Sonntag in charge. Elliott J. Siff '52 also contributed by solving several instrumentation and calibration problems as the subject for his Senior project. The rotating element, built by Western Electric Co., was a gift of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. The first prime mover tested was a new engine given by the Nash Automobile Co. through their Ithaca dealer, J. E. Walsh &Son. With the new control, the dynamometer is completely controlled by the operator unless he makes a mistake or an emergency arises. The control assures proper operation and can instantly retrace any previous control pattern if operation is interrupted. Operating mis- takes are not relayed to the controls, but are stored until cleared by the operator. A warning light indicates each error made. If there is a dangerous operating error or power failure, the equipment shuts down automatically. Professor Briggs '09 Dies PROFESSOR Thomas Roland Briggs '09, Chemistry, a member of the Faculty for more than thirty.,ΐ,.:.. five years, died in •>r;:;V Ithaca August 9. •' ^V His home was at V 113 Ithaca Road. Born in Huddersfield, England, in 1887, Professor Briggs entered the University from Flushing High School and received the AB in 1909 and the PhD in 1913. After two years as instructor in chemistry at Worcester, Mass., Polytechnic Institute, he returned in 1915 as assistant professor of Physical Chemistry & Electrochemistry and was promoted to professor in 1925. He wrote numerous scientific articles, particularly in the fields of electrochemistry and colloid chemistry and in phase-rule studies of the inorganic systems. His early studies in electrochemistry contributed greatly to the development of a process for chromium plating. His studies of emulsions were important in the development of asphalt roofing materials and highway surfaces. Professor Briggs served as a research consultant to Flintkote Corp., Thomas A. Edison Co., and other industrial firms. He was a member of Phi Kappa Tau, Sigma Xi, Alpha Chi Sigma, and the American Chemical Society. He is survived by Mrs. Briggs (Frances Ingalls) '12 and four children: Adelaide E. Briggs '38, Lynton I. Briggs '39, George R. Briggs '47, and Gifΐord G. Briggs '50. For Michigan Game CORNELLIANS in Ann Arbor for the football game with Michigan, November 8, are invited by the Cornell Club of Michigan to make their headquarters the American Legion Hall on South Main Street, one block north of Gate 8 of the University of Michigan stadium. The Club has arranged for the use of the Legion Hall by visiting alumni that day, and for a buffet supper to be served there after the game. The Hall is convenient to parking space near the stadium. That evening, the Cornell and Michigan Glee Clubs will combine for a concert in the Hill Auditorium, repeating the successful performance given in Bailey Hall last fall after the Michigan game here. Secretary of the Cornell Club of Michigan is P. E. Landback '25, 2000 Second Avenue, Detroit 26, Mich. Book on Ezra Cornell T H E BUILDER: A Biography of Ezra Cornell, by Philip Dorf '24, is announced for October publication by The Macmillan Co. Dorf, who lives in Ithaca, spent more than two years at work on the book. The publishers call it "a penetrating portrait not only of the man, but of an era." They say: "Though the chief interest of this book lies in the life of Cornell, there also emerges an interesting picture of the humble beginnings of the University which was to give so many others an opportunity which had been denied to its founder. Cornell risked his money and jeopardized his health to secure a larger endowment for the institution, but lived long enough to see the college well started along the road to becoming one of the great centers of learning in the United States."

Large pictures of the Lake and Clock Tower and of the Quadrangle in front of Goldwin Smith Hall were accompanied by a brief account of the University's history and facilities. Family Circle magazine for August contains an article, "Let's Go To the Finger Lakes," by Mary Abbie Sturgeon, which describes the region about Ithaca. It is illustrated with photographs by William Ficklin, whose pictures of the Campus frequently appear in the ALUMNI NEWS. For outstanding scholarship and good citizenship, the School of Industrial & Labor Relations awarded its 1952 Daniel Alpern Memorial Prizes of medals and $100 each to Seniors Fraeda P. Aronovitz of Rochester and Charles J. Christenson of Chicago, 111. Miss Aronovitz was president of the women's Junior Class and of WSGA and a member of the Student Council. Christenson was on the executive committee of the I&LR Student Organization, chairman of it's speakers' committee, and treasurer of Telluride. Both are members of Phi Kappa Phi. Tompkins County Republicans renominated Ray S. Ashbery '25 for the State Assembly, where he has served the last four years. He was opposed for the nomination by Harry N. Gordon '15. Ashbery was formerly University Alumni Field Secretary. He has a law office in Trumansburg. George E. Houghton, who had sailed Cayuga Lake for most of his seventythree years, was drowned in the Lake off Kidders, June 29, as he was returning to his cabin sailboat for the night after dinner ashore. Friend of many Cornellians, Houghton worked in the old Corner Book Store on State Street early in the century, then sold marine and other hardware in the Treman, King & Co. store until it closed. For the last fifteen years, he had operated the Pen & Camera Shop at Tioga and Seneca Streets in Ithaca. Holders of Schlitz Scholarships of $1500 a year in the School of Hotel Administration, accompanied by Director Howard B. Meek, were the guests of President Erwin C. Uihlein '12 of Jossph Schlitz Brewing Co., donor of the Scholarships, at the company's plant in Milwaukee, Wis., right after Commencement. They were taken through the plant and entertained at a luncheon for hotel and restaurant men of Milwaukee in the Brown Bottle restaurant, and at a distributors' dinner. Those who made the trip were Thomas C. Mar- .» shall '52, Robert N. Rinker '52, Harry B. Coyle, Jr. '53, John P. Lemire '53, Morris V. Shiveίy '53, and Francis J. Gallagher '54. Frank M. Woods '54, a seventh Schlitz Scholar, had started a summer job and could not attend. Telluride Association held its annual convention at the house in Ithaca, June 9-14. Seventy members attended from all over the country to set the year's policies. Chancellor of Telluride is Elmer M. Johnson '22. George Bennett, who had been employed at Willard Straight Hall since April, was killed in a fall from the Central Avenue bridge into Cascadilla gorge, June 30. Bennett had been with the late Willard D. Straight '01 from 1912 and was Major Straight's orderly in the Army until Straight's death in Paris in 1918. For a time he was with Straight's widow, Mrs. Leonard Elmhirst, and her husband at Dartington Hall in England, then was at the Whitney family estate at Westbury, Long Island. When the estate was closed last spring and many of Straight's keepsakes were sent to Willard Straight Hall, Bennett came along to help sort and catalog them. He had been in ill health. RARE FOSSIL of a ten-rayed starfish that lived about 325,000,000 years ago was found late in July on the south slope of Mt. Pleasant near Ellis Hollow, five miles east of the Campus. Graduate students Frances L. Burnett, MA '48, and Robert W. Dickerman '51 from the Conservation Department in Agriculture came upon the fossil while collecting snakes. Professor John W. Wells, PhD '30, identified it as Ptilonaster Princeps, which lived in the Devonian Period of the Paleozoic Era. The specimen, nearly seven inches in diameter, has three of its ten rays complete and has also the small round "sieve plate" which is very rare. The only other known specimen of this species is said to be a fragment in the American Museum of Natural History. For economy, Residential Halls Department removed all room telephones from University dormitories this summer, replacing them with corridor phones. So vanishes one of the luxuries which made living in the dorms a privilege. "Miss Atlantic City" and hostess for the annual "Miss America" beauty pageant there this month is Patricia A. Milligan '54 of Margate, N.J. She is daughter of John P. Milligan, superintendent of schools in Atlantic City. "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi," nominated by the Cornell chapter and crowned at the fraternity's national convention in June, is Barbara A. Williamson '53 of Schenectady. A Senior this year in Arts & Sciences, Miss Williamson was a member of this year's Spring Week End executive committee and a dancer in the Octagon Club show. She is a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma. Aeronautical Laboratory in Buffalo employed this summer in research fortyfive students from twenty colleges and universities. Cornellians accepted from 155 applicants were graduate students James Q. Brantley, Jr., MME '50, Frederick W. Cleaver, Raquel R. Heller, and Frederick W. Schmidlin; Theodore G. Castner, Jr. '52, Richard J. Frainier '52, and William H. Orr '52 from the College of Engineering; and Joan O. Randolph '54, Arts & Sciences. Raymond R. Lanflisi and Richard G. Summers, graduated at Princeton in June, will enter the Graduate School of Aeronautical Engineering this fall. Demonstration of the propagation of shock-waves in metallic materials which attracted attention in the booth of Baldwin-Hamilton-Lima Corp. of Philadelphia at the June meeting of the American Society for Testing Materials in New York City was developed in the College of Engineering. Professor Harry D. Conway and Herbert F. Spirer '50, Engineering Mechanics, with Professor John R. Moynihan '26, Engineering Materials, devised the methods and equipment in the course of research for the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. Delegation from Cornell to a summer congress of the National Students Association, August 18-27 at Indiana University at Bloomington, was headed by Nancy B. Helm '53, vice-president of the Student Council. Other members were Gordon B. Lankton '53, president of the Council; Alfred L. Aronson '55 and Sandra M. Berkman '54 of the Student Council NSA committee; Robert R. Sinacore '54, treasurer of the Independent Council; and Benjamin S. Farber '54, president-elect of the Junior Class. September, 1952 47 Theodore P. Wright, Vice President for Research, has been named to a new committee on institutional research policy of the American Council on Education, appointed by Arthur S. Adams, president of the Council and former Provost of the University. The nine-member group will study problems arising at colleges and universities from government- and industry-sponsored research. In July, Wright made an extensive tour of Air Force bases and aeronautical laboratories in company with General Partridge and General Putt. Among those visited were the Bureau of Standards Communication Station on Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs, the Headquarters of the Air Force Air Defense of the US Command at Colorado Springs, the Ames Research Laboratory at Moffitt Field, the Edwards Air Force Base on Muroc Dry Lake, and Point Mugu Naval Station. In Los Angeles, he attended the annual meeting of the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences, of which he is a past-president. July 14 issue of Time magazine, reporting the Republican convention in Chicago, quotes delegate Elbert P. Tuttle '18, Alumni Trustee and Atlanta lawyer, as saying with regard to the court ruling on the contested Georgia delegation: "This lawsuit is another evidence of the conniving done by this group when it doesn't seek relief at the proper place . . . If a judge in some little county of the committeemen's own state, say Clarence Brown's Ohio, should issue such a ruling, would they pay any attention to it?" Director Charles R. Burrows, Electrical Engineering, is returning shortly from a three-month trip in which he visited Norway, Sweden, Denmark, England, France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Turkey, India, Thailand, Australia, and Hawaii. He headed the American delegation at the general assembly of the International Scientific Radio Union in Sidney, Australia. He is president of the Union's commission on tropospheric propagation. Alumni Trustee Ruth F. Irish '22 has been elected assistant secretary of the Union Dime Savings Bank of New York City. With the Union Dime since 1927, she has served as secretary to the service director, assistant to the president and chairman of the board, and, since March, 1951, as director of the service department. Dean S. C. Hollister received the Lamme Medal of the American Society for Engineering Education at the annual meeting in June at Dartmouth College. The seventh Cornellian among the twenty-five recipients since the award was established in 1928, Dean Hollister was cited for "his excellent work in stating the functions of engineering education, his efforts in bringing to public notice the need for engineers, and for his achievements as a teacher, a consulting en- gineer, a research worker, and an engineering educational administrator." Before the annual dinner, the Dartmouth chimes played Cornell songs and at the dinner, Dean William P. Kimball of the Thayer School at Dartmouth recounted the longstanding pleasant relations between Dartmouth and Cornell in varied areas and presented to Dean Hollister, as retiring president of the Society, a tomahawk in place of the usual souvenir gavel. Among the fifty-eight presidents of the ASEE since it was founded in 1896, Dean Hollister was the twelfth Cornellian. John E. Burton, Vice-President-Business, is helping Dwight D. Eisenhower set up a campaign research program. Chairman of the New York State Power Authority and former New York State budget director, Burton assisted Governor Thomas E. Dewey in his 1948 campaign. The Rev. Donald M. Cleary, Catholic chaplain at the University, has been elevated by Pope Pius XII to the rank of Papal Chamberlain, with the title of Very Reverend Monsignor. Monsignor Cleary was appointed chaplain at the University and moderator of the Newman Club in 1937. From 1942-46, he was chaplain with the US Air Force in Europe. Professor Henry A. Myers, PhD '33, English, has been appointed acting chairman for 1952-53 of the Department of English in the College of Arts & Sciences. Ernest Whitworth, Associate Registrar and director of the Office of Machine Records, left the University, August 1, to become director of the Commission on Accreditation of Service Experiences in Washington, D.C. The Commission was established by the American Council on Education in 1945, to evaluate, in educational terms, training given by the armed forces, and to advise colleges and schools concerning credit to be given for such training. At Cornell since 1946, Whitworth has been responsible for changes in registration methods and in keeping academic and other records. Professor George M. Sutton, PhD '32, formerly Curator of Ornithology, received the honorary Doctor of Science at the 11 lth annual commencement of Bethany College, Bethany, W. Va. He is currently doing research at University of Oklahoma at Norman. June 23 issue of Newsweek credits Donald C. Kerr '12, Counselor of Foreign Students, with being principally responsible for modifying Selective Service Bulletin 60, which originally directed that only the 700 Fulbright and some thirty Rhodes scholars of American students abroad could be deferred from military service. Invited to Washington, Kerr explained to General Hershey that Rhodes and Fulbright scholars are only a small fraction of the approximately 10,000 full-time American students in foreign colleges and universities, mostly for graduate work, half of whom receive full or partial scholarships from various sponsors. As a result, local Selective Service boards were advised that any high-school, college, or university student who gives proof that he is satisfactorily pursuing a full-time course in a foreign country may be deferred. Professor Henry M. Munger '36, Vegetable Crops, spoke in Detroit in June at the annual convention of the American Seed Trade Association on "The Future of Firstgeneration Hybrids." He has developed several new varieties of muskmelons, tomatoes, and beans. Professor Everett M. Strong, Grad '2426, Electrical Engineering, is pictured on the cover of Electrical World for August 4 as the new president of the Illuminating Engineering Society, taking office October 1. Representative of the Society to the National Research Council since 1946, he has also been its treasurer and vice-president. He established the courses in Illumination in the School of Electrical Engineering and in 1946 organized and has since supervised the College of Engineering cooperative courses with industry. Daniel T. Braymer '33 is managing editor of Electrical World. A son, William Goyette Cobb, was born, July 3, to H. Lyford Cohb '40, project director in the Office of University Development, and Mrs. Cobb (Elsie Cook) '40. This is their third child and second son. Mrs. Cobb is the daughter of Fayette A. Cook '08. Edward H. Sargent, Jr. '39 has been appointed assistant professor of Industrial & Labor Relations. He will be in charge of the School's Extension programs in the central district of the State. He and Mrs. Sargent (Shirley Anne Richards) '41 live at 409 South Albany Street in Ithaca. At the National Lily Show in Cleveland, Ohio, in June, Professor G. L. Slate, Pomology, Geneva Experiment Station, won thirty ribbons with his entries. Among his winnings were thirteen first prizes as well as a special award, won in competition with 3000 blooms. Professor Laurence H. MacDaniels, PhD '17, Horticulture & Floriculture, won the Pierce Award for native lilies and eleven other prizes. Robert O. Shaffer, PhD '51, assistant to the President, has become the first dean of students at the State University of New York Teachers College at Oswego. He has been assistant to President Deane W. Malott since September; was previously assistant to Dean of Men Frank C. Baldwin '22 and with the Cornell Guidance Center. Professor Charlotte M. Young, Nutrition, reports on "Weight Reduction Using a Moderate-fat Diet" in the May Journal of the American Dietetic Association. She describes how ten young women students reduced their weight an average of seventeen pounds in eight-and-a-half weeks by a satisfying diet. The research is part of that endowed by Trustee Emeritus Frank E. Gannett '98. Colonel William E. Jennings '31, Mili- * tary Science & Tactics, has left the University for a new station at the Medical Field Service School, Brooke Army Medical Center, Fort Sam Houston, Tex., where he will head the department of veterinary science. Before he was ordered to Cornell in 1948, 48 Cornell Alumni News Colonel Jennings was for three years in the veterinary division of the Army Surgeon General's Office in Washington. During World War II, he served four years overseas; one year in India and three in China. Mrs. Jennings and their two sons, Allan and Paul, will accompany Colonel Jennings to Texas. Professor Charles Chupp, PhD '17, Plant Pathology, has been awarded a $2500 grant from the Foundation for Microbiology at Rutgers University. It will be used to print his unpublished research in the field of mycology. Professor Henry G. Booker, Electrical Engineering, was granted American citizenship, June 2. He is a native of England. Two More Retire PROFESSORS E. Laurence Palmer '11, Nature & Science Education, and Alpheus M. Goodman '12, Agricultural Engineering, have ended thirty-threeyear careers at the University and will be recommended for appointment as emeritus professors at the October meeting of the Board of Trustees. Professor Palmer, who retired July 24, came to the University in 1908 after graduating from Cortland Normal School received the AB in 1911, the MA in 1913, and the PhD in 1917. He studied under Professors John H. Comstock '74 and Anna B. Comstock '85 and later took over their work of editing the Nature Study Leaflets. In 1919, he became assistant professor of Rural Education and in 1922 was advanced to professor. Professor Palmer's courses in nature writing, conservation, education, and outdoor living annually attracted large numbers of teachers and graduate students, and many of his students now hold important positions in these fields. He is the author of nearly 500 published articles and of several books on field biology, including the First and Second Nature Almanacs (with Arthur N. Pack), A Guide to Science Teaching, and A Fieldbook of Natural History. He has written the scenarios for biological films produced by Eastman Teaching Films, Erpi Films, and Brittanica Films. He has been editor of the Cornell Rural School Leaflet since 1919, director of nature education for Nature Magazine since 1925, editor of the McGrawHill Nature Study Series since 1935, and director of conservation education for the National Wildlife Federation since 1950. In 1949, he was awarded the first Fulbright professorship to New Zealand and in 1950, the first national prize for a September, 1952 science radio program given by the Ohio State Radio Workshop and first prize for periodical publications offered by the Association of Land Grant Colleges & Universities. The National Committee on Conservation Education & Publication awarded him first prize for a youth program on conservation last year. Professor Palmer is a member of Sigma Xi, Gamma Alpha, Phi Delta Kappa, Kappa Phi Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, and many professional societies; is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Rochester Museum of Science; and a past president of the American Nature Study Society, National Council of Nature Study Supervisors, National Association of Biology Teachers, and the Department of Science Instruction of the National Education Association. From 1943-45, he was chairman of the wildlife committee of the National Research Council and for many years was the representative to the Council of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has been a member of the National Council, Boy Scouts of America, and in 1947 was awarded the Silver Beaver Award, scouting's highest honor. Professor Palmer is widely known locally for his weekly radio program, "This Week in Nature," which he organized in 1932 as a weekly lesson in nature study for grade school classes. He and Mrs. Palmer (Katherine Van Winkle), PhD '25, will continue to live at 206 Oak Hill Road. Their son is Richard R. Palmer '53. Professor Goodman retired from Agricultural Engineering August 1, but will take up a new assignment. He is one of the Cornell specialists who will go to the college of agriculture, at Los Banos, of the University of the Philippines, to participate ,. . in a program de- , •*; * ;.., signed to rehabili1 'f ' tate Philippine agriculture. Professor Goodman also entered the University in 1908, received the BSA in 1912, and came back as Extension agricultural engineer in 1919. His specialties have been the design, construction, and ventilation of farm buildings and drainage of fields. With the late Professor Frank L. Fairbanks ΊO, Agricultural Engineering, he devised in the early 1920's a dairy stable ventilation system which became widely used. In the late 20's he spent more than a year in Puerto Rico as a special member of the International Health Division of the Rockefeller Foundation, coordinating tile drainage work to improve agriculture and for malaria control. For the same agency in 1942, he did drainage investi- gations in British Guiana, Trinidad, Tobago, Haiti, and Cuba. In 1935, he visited Alaska for the Alaska Rehabilitation Administration to make recommendations concerning the Matanuska Colony, an area which since has thrived and developed into a well-established community of small farms. At the College of Agriculture, Professor Goodman organized and taught for thirteen years a course in farm structures, and other courses on surveying and drainage and irrigation. He is the author of several Cornell bulletins on building construction, ventilation, drainage, and fruit and potato storages. He is a member of Sigma Xi, Epsilon Sigma Phi, American Society of Agricultural Engineers, and the New York State Society of Professional Engineers. Mrs. Goodman is the former Clara Browning '12. Their children are Mrs. Max V. Shaul (Eunice Goodman) '40, Clara E. Goodman '41, Robert B. Goodman '41, and Eleanor M. Goodman '44. Cornell at Laval CORNELL DELEGATE at academic convocations celebrating the 100th anniversary of Laval University in Quebec, September 19-22, will be Professor Blanchard L. Rideout, PhD '36, Romance Languages and Director of the Division of Unclassified Students. Teaching began at the university level at Laval in 1640, making it second only to Harvard among North American institutions of higher learning. It was chartered as a university by Queen Victoria, December 8, 1852, and in 1876 received Pontifical Charter. It was the first French university on this continent. Delegates are invited from more than 1400 colleges and universities in sixty-five countries and will be sent also by the governments of France, Great Britain, and the Vatican. Georges Maheux, Grad Ί9-'20, who is Director of Agricultural Information and Research for the Province of Quebec, is director-general of the Laval centennial committee. Supplementing the official invitation to Cornell, he wrote to President Malott, in part, as follows: We would highly appreciate the favour of welcoming a delegate from Cornell University for two main reasons: 1. At Laval, we range Cornell among the four most prominent universities in North America; 2. There are in this old city of Quebec more than fifty former students or graduates of Cornell, mostly in agricultural sciences, about equally divided between the faculties of Laval and the Quebec Department of Agriculture. The undersigned was himself a student in Entomology at Cornell in the academic year 1919-20. Cornell has the distinction, among American and Canadian universities, of having trained the largest number of actual Laval University professors. For all these reasons, Cornell is close to our hearts . . . Cornell graduates living in Quebec would be delighted and proud to applaud the delegate of their second Alma Mater. . . . 49 :NEW$\X)F THE AMJMNI ί J Personal items, newspaper clippings, or other notes about Cornellians of all Classes will be welcomed for these pages.

'97 Reunion — Twenty-eight Classmates were present at the fifty-five-year Reunion of the '97 Class. In addition to those in the picture, Mrs. Glenn W. Herrick, Bert T. Baker, William S. Hovey, Alfred Hurlburt, Robert L. Speed, and Perley S. Wilcox were present. All enjoyed a very memorable Reunion.—Walter Kelsey '97 AB—Helen M. Knox was guest of honor, May 24, at a meeting of the Cornell Women's Club of Southern California in celebration of her ninetieth birthday, May 22. She lives at 127 West Sixth Street, Claremont, Cal. '02 Reunion—On Friday morning, June 6, the Fifty-year Class began to assemble in the parlors of Prudence Risley Hall. Buttons and '02 armbands were distributed by the Class clerk, and by the time each one had a chance to handshake each of the others, we were on our various ways to Barton Hall for luncheon. After lunch, the baseball game, admission free, and what a game! Cornell, "The Hitless Wonders," finally won fourteen — or was it more?—bases on balls in ten—or was it eleven?—innings; no one stayed to find out! By that time it was on to the new Statler for a very excellent men's dinner in the student cafeteria, preceded by cocktails. Think of that right on the Campus! What would Prexy Schurman say! Bill Norton acted as a very informal master-of-ceremonies and told some old Savage Club stories by special permission of Louis Fuertes; the women dined in the small dining room of Risley under the firm (as usual) guidance of Ruth Shreve; and then on to a very fine Glee Club concert. Saturday morning some of us got up early enough to hear the new Prexy, Deane W. Malott, tell what a hard job he had, at the Statler Hall auditorium, and then we all marched across the street to Barton for the second luncheon. After lunch, the Class photograph at Hoy Field, ducking the grand march enjoyed by the younger Classes and George Bacon '92, and Charlie Young and his nice new lady just got there in time from their very special (bourbon) car. After that, inspection trips around the Campus and some of us even took a trip to Enfield and Ludlowville gorges! Then came the final dinner presided over by Bishop G. Ashton Oldham '02. Now, a Cornell Bishop is a rarity and our Bishop Oldham is one of the rarest of rarities, but he made a grand master-of-ceremonies, with dignity, wit, and wonderful stories by him and all the others he called upon. Then to the Rally at Barton Hall. All 1902 got out of it was a carnation for each member of the Class but, with forty-eight men back, nineteen women, not to mention twenty family and guests, we had the Fifty-five-year Reunion, Class of '97 highest percentage of any Class at the Reunion, or 26.1% as against 25.8% for 1912! The cup, given by the Association, will be engraved with the 1902 Fifty-year record upon it. One of the highlights of the Reunion was a reflex from our Twenty-five-year Reunion. In 1927 at our Class dinner, a very lovely young lady appeared and sold us some charming photographs of the Campus. She was officially invited to be our guest at our Fifty-year dinner, but she sent the following wireless to the Class from Tokio: "Sorry can't wield chopsticks with you tonight, but send most cordial greetings from Orient to Class of Nineteen Two. Margaret Bourke White, Time, Inc., Tokio."—W. J. N. '04 ME; '37—Walter S. Finlay, Jr., • executive vice president of the J. G.

Johnson operates greenhouses known as The Rose Fair, Inc. in Blue Point, L.I. and is president of Greenhouse Flower Cooperative of New York City. He writes that he would be glad to meet Class members any Monday or Tuesday night at the Cornell Club in New York City. '07 Reunion—Our Forty-five-year Reunion has come and gone and for those of you who missed it we have nothing to say except that you should have been there if for nothing else than to see the erosions which have taken place on those who attended. However, it must be said that of course those of us who did come back have probably fewer erosions than those who did not! Everybody was right on the ball all the time and attended all the functions and enjoyed them. Several came in Thursday night so as to be sure to not miss anything, at least three of us played golf on the new University Course and we agreed that it is a welllaid out course as it should be, having been done by one of our good golf architects, Robert Trent Jones, a good Cornellian. Scores? Nope, won't tell ya! Dinner at the Statler Club and of course that was excel- Photo Science 50 Cornell Alumni News new Technicolor picture of the same name, produced by Twentieth Century-Fox. '09, 310 LLB—Curtis M. Yohe of 6665 Kinsman Road, Pittsburgh, Pa., has been elected president of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad. Vice-president since 1929, Yohe is the first Pittsburgher to be president of the road since the New York Central took it over in 1884. Anyone who has followed these thumbnail biographies, which now begin their third year of appearance in this space, must have been struck by the variety of ways in which members of the Class of 1910 have served humanity and made a living at it. Fifty-year Class of '02 Photo Science lent. Many of the Classmates remarked how nice it was, with us all housed in Sage, to have this lovely Club so near by. No necessity of going downtown for a drink if you want other than beer, indeed it was nice to go into the Rathskeller and have one of those king-size Martinis. They are delicious. Our tent was slung right next to 1912 and we had plenty of beer and good conversation of the proper sort; none of the Great Questions settled, to be sure, but no arguments. Both Democrats and Republicans agreed that the man to elect this year is Eisenhower. Will it come to pass, do you suppose? The lunches at Barton Hall both days were good and, if there is one thing that makes the Reunions a success, it is these luncheons. Everybody has a chance to see everybody else, no matter what your Class may be. The person who thought up this idea should get some sort of a citation from the University. Dinner Friday night was at the Statler and was thoroughly enjoyed; possibly because nobody made any speeches! The Glee Club concert at Bailey Hall was almost as good as we used to give way back in the good old days! They certainly run the concerts differently than we did, that's for sure. We had no M.C., but we did have a damn good leader. Remember Eddie Holmes with his megaphone baritone? They sing well, but not any better than we used to under Hollis E. Dann. When we got back to the tent after the concert, it had a sepulchral appearance; no lights, no beer, no bartender. Ugh! Whether or not he thought we were old and feeble and would turn in early I do not know, but he was not there. We were told he was sick (sic?). Jack Krieger was right on the job and in nothing flat he had the tent lighted, beer running again, and a husky bartender. It is not certain whether he had a magic wand or what, but in time's nick everything was hitting on all eight cylinders again. And so to bed. The dinner Saturday night was just about as enjoyable as it could be. Win Taylor presided in his usual efficient manner. We had some guests from other Classes, among them Cy Weed '09 and Sport Ward 511. September, 1952 There were some others, but I cannot remember at the moment who they were. Several speeches were made but they were brief, intelligent, and not boring. The highlight of the dinner was the resolution presented by Fred Shull requesting everybody to write to Dan Reed '99, our stalwart in Congress, urging the passage of his bill for a return to a sound-money program and the good old gold standard. Surely a commendable project! Laying a wreath on the tomb of Andrew D. White was carried out in the morning and a description of that was in the last ALUMNI NEWS. It was well attended and a very dignified ceremony. Again may I say that those of you who did not attend missed a grand time, so get ready for our Fiftieth and don't miss it! —T. F. L. '08 AB—Lydia Bailey, a well-known novel by Kenneth Roberts, is dramatized in a '07 Men at Forty-five-year Reunion ? sSCV'%.;;; .v:'---;WSΦ- Opening Series 3, we give you Erwin S. Barrie (above) as another example of the unusual in trades, crafts, and arts, pursued successfully by men who in their youth Photo Science 51 came under the influence of bells in the twilight. Barrίe has been a dealer in American art and an effective helper of young American artists ever since he tried, and soon abandoned, the life of a hobo and an itinerant harvester in the wheat fields of Kansas. Starting as an art dealer in Chicago where he originated successfully the practice of bringing together socially the paintings, the painters, and the patrons, he moved on in 1922 to New York to become the first (and, so far, only) director and manager of Grand Central Art Galleries. That's a nonprofit organization founded and operated solely in the interests of living American artists. Its sales have become phenomenal and it has been the means of lifting many young artists from obscurity to fame. But lately, after long years of promoting the work of other artists, Erwin has blossomed into sudden and enthusiastic recognition as himself a gifted painter in a narrow specialty: he paints golf holes and portraits of such stinkers as the fifth and fourteenth at Pine Valley, the eighth at Greenwich, the seventeenth at Gulfstream, and the sixth at Ewwanok have aroused the excited approval of both competent art critics and less competent golfers who have suffered among the scenes he portrays. None of Barrie's golf-hole pictures are for sale. There are no more than thirty of them now, but he hopes to bring the number up to fifty, at which point they should constitute a significant collection. The Barries live on West Brother Drive, Milbrook, Greenwich, Conn. His office address is 15 Vanderbilt Avenue, New York City 17. On the golf side, Erwin is a member of the Royal and Ancient at St. Andrews, Scotland, the Greenwich Country Club, and the US Seniors. His art affiliations are too numerous to list. One fellow, originally from Danvers, Mass., is George C. Brainard (above) ME, who knew where he was going and wanted to get started; married Alice M. Littlefield, September 8, 1911, to prove it. Who can beat that? Joined our Class after one year at Northwestern and is one of our most enthusiastic members. Last June at the Reunion, his deep baritone featured everything from duets to mass effects. During most of the time he lived in Youngstown, Ohio, Ί l had a good representation there: George, Gene Bennett, Roy Leventry, Shorty Long, Lem Wick, and (Mrs.) Lou Williams Argetsinger. It was Brainard's outstanding production record in shell forgings in the first war that did it. As a result, he was made Civilian Staff Expert, Ordnance Department, in charge of artillery ammunition production, US Army; second war, assistant and then chief, Cleveland Ordnance District, and Coordinator, National Defense Contract Service, and took great pleasure in renewing contacts with Dean Kimball and other Cornell people (Dean Kimball got around too; for a time worked with Bill Frank at WPB in Washington). During this time, Brainard became a flesh-and-blood member of the Big Wheels Club of US Industry: 10 years to '23 with Hydraulic Pressed Steel, Cleveland, in four steps to General Manager; '23 through '45 with General Fireproofing Co., Youngstown, mostly as president, still is director and chairman of its executive committee; since '36, president, director and chairman of executive committee, AddressographMultigraph Co. with H Q at Cleveland for its world-wide operations; chief officer of the Canadian and English companies and director of the French company, and in addition is director, Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co., Ohio Bell Telephone Co., Cleveland & Pittsburgh Railroad Co., and Board Chairman, Federal Reserve Bank, Cleveland, since 1939 and Federal Reserve Agent for the Federal Reserve district (Ed Wendt has the same sort of job at the Buffalo Branch of the New York Federal Reserve Bank; more of him later), was chairman, Greater Cornell Fund campaign, Ohio District. To say the least, that is an imposing array. Son, George, Jr. ME '38, was Captain, Air Force, doing Black Widow night fighting, South West Pacific; younger son, Ted, was Captain, Infantry, China-Burma, married a daughter of Chick Benton '15, one of Cornell's all-time tennis greats; two married daughters are Mrs. Barbara B. Montgomery and Mrs. Elizabeth B. Heindel. Geo. Sr. has eleven grandchicks; his other chief recreations are trout and duck, fishing and hunting, that is; seems to us he deserves some. When he gets ready, I bet he knows where he is going! About 150 of you men have sent in your dues, a few accompanied by news chats. That's good! We must have grist for this mill. But a much larger number have sent neither dues nor news. That's bad! How about that? Both are wanted. It's encouraging to see how much the fellows like to read about their old friends. Please send checks and news chats to Rewalt. Grand Slam Home Run! Cox is on third, Reese on second, Robinson on first, and Campanella at bat. Top of the first at the Polo Grounds. The count is two and two. The pitcher winds up; lets go; Campy swings; there is a solid whack as bat strikes ball; the crowd is on its feet and cheering as the ball is tagged for the upper deck of left field for a grand slam that brings four happy Dodgers over homeplate. It takes four to make the thrill of a grand slam. It takes four decades to make the thrill of a Fortieth Reunion. Homeplate is on the Hill at Ithaca in June, '53. Ί3-ers are on first, second, and third bases scattered all over the States and in foreign parts. The Aliens, the Chowns, the Diamonds, the Feiners, the Heebners, the Mannys, the Porratas, the Rubinows, the Sherwoods, the Wards, the Wrights and all our other Classmates don't have to wait for the crack of a bat to start. From wherever they are, come June, they can head for "home" by bus, by plane, by train, by car, and by hitch and hike. There awaits them the thrill of wandering once again among familiar haunts, of recapturing happy associations, of re-living again precious memories, and of greeting old (alas, in both the literal and figurative sense) friends and Classmates. These stimulating experiences bring back again and again some Classmates fortunate enough to be able to come. For those who will come for the first time, or after a long lapse, it will be a treat indeed, only to be appreciated in the experience. Classmates send advance word from north, east, south, and west on shore, and from off-shore, Africa, France, and other parts of the world that the Fortieth is a must in their plans. It will be a great rallying of Ί3-ers from far and wide. Last June, the Class of 1912 set a tremendous record for all Forty-year Reunion Classes to match. They brought back more men of the Class; they brought back more women of the Class; and they topped all previous Class Alumni Fund contributions with a total of more than $50,000. Their accomplishment is a challenge! The Class of '13 (we are the Cream) will rise to that challenge! Details of Ί3's Fortieth will be arranged for you by your Class Committees, particularly by Freddy Norton and Vic Underwood, the able co-chairmen for the Reunion. You will be hearing from them. But officially or unofficially, whether you have come back often or never, you can beat the drums and help to bring out "the gang" for this milestone. Write a personal note to a dozen or so of your cronies whom you hanker to see. Date them up for Ithaca. They may need just that little touch to know you will be there to bring them, too.

Σ./ΛAJ With this issue of the ALUM\K 17 XT N I NEWS,, w e fire the starting ΰ l ϋ LA Eun f°r the third series of these — — J Letters to the Ephesians of the Class of 1915. (It says in the book that Ephesian means "a jovial comrade, boon companion.") It may be recalled that the initial series, 1950-51, of these papers had to do with a contest for the youngest baby in the Class. We do not wish to detract in any way from the sterling performances of the joint winners of this contest, but, frankly we were somewhat disappointed to see the Class, as a whole, fold up in this 52 Cornell Alumni News biological screening. We had hoped (in vain) for the opportunity of making the sensational announcement "1915 Man, Father at Sixty" (or thereabouts), so we reluctantly reached the distressing conclusion that the 1915 lads were all through and we closed out this contest in reproduction. For the 1951-52 series, we introduced a Cultural Contest, hoping to discover some latent refinments in the Class that the Faculty had been unable to uncover in four years at Cornell. But this, too, appears a forlorn hope, for no member of the Class has submitted an answer to the provocative and profound questions propounded. We are going to make it easy for you this coming year. You Will be tried neither physically (1950-51) nor mentally (195152). In fact, this current series should be easy to take, for it will seek to recall the happy times of our undergraduate days, when the world was at peace. So under the general head of NOSTALGIA, we shall, for a starter, inquire: Do YOU REMEMBER THE SWARM OF COMPETS ( S U N , WIDOW, ERA), STUDENT LAUNDRY AND PRESSING CONTRACT HUSTLERS THAT ATTACKED YOU AND YOUR SATCHEL WHEN YOU WERE CAST ADRIFT IN ITHACA IN THE FALL OF i g i 2 ?

Bills are now in the mail covering $5 Class dues for the current 1952-53 fiscal year. As you all know, our group subscription to the ALUMNI NEWS is paid from these dues and any balance accrues to the Class treasury. It is a pleasure to report that for the first time the proportion of dues applicable to the ALUMNI NEWS ($4) slightly exceeded our Class objective and therefore that our loyal underwriting group have been taken off the hook and have not been asked to pay anything during the past year. Congratulations to all dues-paying members! Parker Monroe heads the pre-Reunion committee now making plans for our Thirty-fifth. Other members of this committee include Rudy Deetjen, Johnny Ross, Jim Hillas, Al Saperston (efficient chairman of our thirtieth), and Hal Lalley. Our Class Executive Committee will September, 1952 53 soon hold its first meeting this year. All members of the Class are urged to advise our Class Secretary, Alpheus Smith, 705 The Parkway, Ithaca, concerning your own accomplishments and those of other Classmates. Let Al know about your children who enter Cornell, your new grandchildren, etc. I'll throw my hat in the ring for the The young fellows pictured are five of the twenty-five or more who enjoyed the Class outing, June 14, at the estate of Vice-president Dick Edson in Norwalk, Conn. Pictured there in the usual order are George Stanton, chairman of the Class commitee for ALUMNI NEWS group subscription; your correspondent, Walter D. Archibald; Charles L. (Jeff) Kilbourne, co-chairman for our next Reunion; H. Cushman (Ho) Ballou, past-president of the Class; and Jack Meadow. It was an occasion long to be remembered. Dick Edson and his charming wife outdid hospitality by providing the place, the eats, and refreshments for the group which started to arrive at noon and stayed until midnight. Among the first to arrive was Class President Donald C. Blancke, who was recently elected a Governor of the Cornell Club of New York for a four-year term. Jeff Kilbourne, down from Moravia, told us some more about the famous bull he recently acquired, the son of Osborndale Mez Spitfire Ormsby. A news release announcing the sale said: "We consider that Mr. Kilborne got him at quite a bargain, but we are glad that the young fellow has a good home." Some wondered whether the "young fellow" was Jeff or the bull! Ho Ballou, our past-president, was celebrating this twenty-ninth wedding anniversary that day, so his Classmates helped him celebrate. With the assistance of Dick's family, an appropriate anniversary gift was presented with the usual impromptu abandon that characterizes 1920 gatherings. The weather was perfect, so good use was made of Dick's extensive grounds for sports, games, eating, napping, and just good oldfashioned bull-sessions. Stew Solomon had his movie camera, so the occasion is preserved for posterity, to say nothing of re- grandpappy stakes. Our son, Willard Jr. '51 and his wife, Constance (Beard), Vassar '52, presented us with a red-headed granddaughter, July 28. Our older daughter, Ann, Barnard '47, and her husband, George G. Fawcett, Jr., Union '46, own another granddaughter and two grandsons of ours. Total: four. What's the competition? —Bill Emerson, President view at future Class gatherings and Reunions. Besides those mentioned and pictured, others present were Anthony O. R. Baldridge, Henry J. Benisch, J. Murray Beveridge, Henry C. Cundell, Class Treasurer Joseph Diamant, Louis W. Green, Wilis Y. Harlow, Class Secretary Thorne C. Hulbert, Philip Munisteri, Dwight B. Ranno, Stanley S. Reich, George W. Rogers, Co-chairman of Reunion Kelvin N. Sachs, Henry Vettel, Arthur S. Whittemore, Frank E. Wade, and A. F. Stolz '18. Whitelaw T. Terry of St. Louis was almost there. He was staying at the St. Regis in New York, to attend his daughter's graduation from Miss Porter's School, but had to start driving home that day. The night before, however, he had met Don Blancke, Dick Edson, and Ho Ballou at the Cornell Club. About the time you get this issue of the News, each 1920 man will also receive a letter from George H. Stanton, chairman of our Class Group Subscription Committee. The letter asks each of you to pay $5 annual Class dues, to make possible sending the News to all members, and perhaps also build up a "kitty" for the Class treasury. On the back is a brief questionnaire, which you are also asked to fill out so we can tell your Classmates in future issues all the latest news about you. As you know, 1920 is the sixth Cornell Class to adopt the plan of sending the Alumni News to all members. This plan, if you cooperate with your dues and news of yourself and of others, will bring you great satisfaction as you renew your acquaintance in every issue with your Classmates everywhere and with Cornell. It is made possible by the hard work of the Committee and Class officers and by the generous loyalty of a small group of Classmates who have underwritten the cost, as a trial. You will benefit, as will the Class and our University. So please send your Five Bucks and the Questionnaire RIGHT AWAY to George H. Stanton, 16 Church Street, Montclair, N.J.

'22 Men's Reunion—Our Thirty-year Reunion got off to a flying start on Friday morning, June 6, with approximately 100 '22ers registering under the supervision of Reunion Chairman Tommy Thompson. Some 20-odd brought their wives and there was also a sprinkling of '22 offspring, most of whom were undergraduates. Threatening skies disappeared soon after '22 paraded into the ball field where the Class rooted extra innings to make the team finally win over Colgate. Favorable weather prevailed throughout the week end. Highpoint of the Reunion was the luncheon Saturday at Fontainbleau. Here '22ers wined, dined, cavorted, and sung themselves hoarse in a picturesque setting. George Teare took over the piano, Walt Prosch the banjo, and Eddie Hoff the dance routines. Joe Motycka brought along an accordian player who scored a big success at the luncheon and throughout the entire Reunion. At the Class dinner that night, Class President Ben Burton presented Certificates of Honorary Membership in the Class of '22 to Dean Dexter Kimball of Engineering and Former Acting President Ted Wright, University Vice President for Research. In accordance with plans announced five *22 Men—Thirty-year Reunion group at Fontaίnbleu Photo Science 54 Cornell Alumni News years ago for the election of new officers at each Reunion, Ben Burton conducted the election of officers. The following were elected: Bill Hill, president; Bob Calloway, vice-president; Ed Kennedy, secretary; Dick KaufFmann, treasurer.

Deveau is now general manager of The SheratonMount-Royal Hotel in Montreal, Canada. '27 Women's Reunion—The recordbreaking Class of 1927 with their nowfamiliar Royal Blue jackets and blue feathers, chalked up a new high for returning Twenty-five-year Classes with 108 registered, and, at the same time, won the silver bowl for the largest returning women's Class. Most of the Class arrived Thursday or early Friday, getting the full benefit of the planned events, the perfect weather, and the renewal of old friendships. Lillian Fasoldt Schumacher from Liberty, Mo., Carmen Schneider Savage and Isabel Wallace Musgrave from Chicago, and Esther Hunter Coleman from Greenwood, S.C. came the farthest. Friday evening's cocktail party and picnic supper at Gretl Hill Bruun's on Forest Home Drive was a tremendous success. Five of us brought 13- and 14-year-old daughters who enjoyed a swim in Beebe Lake in front of GretΓs home. Several brought husbands and guests, which added to the fun. 105 which was supplied by Petrie of the Statler.

Name Street City and State 55 attended and enjoyed the delicious supper tended cocktail party preceding the Class Banquet held at Risley, which was cleverly guided by our very efficient toastmistress, Dorothy Sharpe Trefts. We were highly honored to have President Malott visit us and say a few words, whereupon we presented him with a '27 Blue Feather. A telegram of best wishes from Helen Grant McGill in Honolulu was read and appreciated, and we hailed the announcement of the birth of twin boys to Eleanor (Hedgie) Wright Decker on May 22 in Caracas, Venezuela. Carmen Schneider Savage was reelected Class Secretary and Grace (Sid) Hanson Reeve, Reunion Chairman. Then came the Rally in Barton Hall and the winning of the cup. The men of 1912 sang "Oh, You Great Big Beautiful Doll," and the 1927 men invited us to their beer tent to drink a toast from our bowl and celebrate, which most of us did. And so closed one of our biggest and best Reunions, long to be remembered for its good fellowship. —Grace Hanson Reeve '28, '29 BArch—Frederick E.

'31 AB—Irving D. Shire of 829 Bird Avenue, Buffalo, has just completed his first year as a member of the faculty (for music) at Nichols School of Boys in Buffalo. '32 Men's Reunion—With the Twentyyear Reunion behind us, a lot of us feel sentiment and nostalgia for Alma Mater that we never experienced before. Maybe every Reunion is the "best ever," but it seems quite a responsibility to try to express the feelings of all of us after our two days together. Eighty-five managed to make it and it was particularly noticeable how all made the tent the center of activity. Sure, that's where the keg was; but even that wasn't abused. On Friday night there was a general exodus to the picnic. Highlight there was Stan HubbeΓs program of awards for the bestest, mostest, and leastest of just about everything conceivable. Here were some of them: Top Papa, Bob Durling; Top Topper, Charlie Nitchie; Baldest Pate, Pete McManus (with stiff competition!); Grayest Gourd, Art Ross; Biggest Guy, Bob Eyerman; Shortest, Cap Fuller; Least Changed, Walt Deming; Most Dignified, Bob Stevens; Globe Trotters, Manual Marin (Mexico City) and Bob Tobin (Los Altos, Cal.) The Saturday dinner at Statler Hall was no less successful. Results of the two polls created quite a stir. As for the "Presidential poll, the count showed 60 per cent expected Eisenhower to take up residence in the White House next January; 35 per cent felt that it would be Taft. Scattered votes went to Harriman and Stevenson. The incomesurvey showed the average earnings of those returned to be $15,300. Exactly half of the Class was earning less than $12,000 and half over $12,000. Each member of the Class seemed to take a bow when it was announced that one earned more than $75,000. Incomes then became scattered down to $25,000 where figures began to crowd each other. The average investment income was $3,000. This, however, was distorted by reason of one investment income of $30,000. Nice distortin' if you can do it! After dinner, the election of Class officers was held. Results: Peter J. McManus, president; Jackson Hazlewood, vice-president; Fred I. Biggs, secretary; Stanley W. Hubbell, treasurer; Robert A. Eyerman, Reunion chairman for '57; Harry W. Bennett, Jr., news-letter editor; and Bernard L. Falk, reelected as Alumni Fund representative. If there was any criticism, it was that the thrill of returning so exceeded advance notices. Even the atmosphere surrounding the week end aided immeasurably: absolutely beautiful weather; the friendly boys and girls who manned our quarters and welcomed us at Barton Hall; the spirit as we paraded for Class pictures; the surprise we all got when the '32 girls lined up behind us. We don't know how many were there, but the sheer number of them elicited sincere applause from our group. Not enough credit can go to Jack Hazlewood for the grand job he did both before and during the festivities. Everything that clicked so beautifully was a reflection of the time and thought he put into his job over the past several months. If you are one who didn't make the Twentieth, you missed a good one, and the fellows missed you. We were already talking about the Big Twentyfifth. See you there!—Joseph E. Comtois '32 Women's Reunion—Class members who helped on Reunion plans were: steering committee, Demaris Summer Girven, Elizabeth North, Marjorie Mundy Whitney; banquet, Mabel Rollins; costumes, Demaris Summer Girven; Class picture, Marjorie Mundy Whitney; songs, Martha Travis Houck; music, Dorothy Lee Bennett; Hostesses, Loretta Farrell O'Connor and Katherine Rogers Hodges; Finances, Irma Hencke Milligan; Friday night supper, Natalie Fairbanks Wood.

Snacks were served at an informal gettogether Friday night in the Clara Dickson '32 general headquarters.

'42 Men's Reunion—Well, if you weren't there for the big Tenth you missed a real show. We had a wonderful week end and were blessed with perfect weather. As near as I can figure, we had about 108 men back and approximately 80 women. Our Class tent was the noisiest, liveliest, and best attended throughout the whole week end, and at the baseball game, rally, and Class parade, everyone knew when '42 came in! Our uniform consisted of a bright red jacket with a huge '42 on the back and a large red and white cap. This uniform proved so popular that we have adopted it as our Class uniform, so if you attended, save the uniform for our next Reunion. The week end got off to a great start about 10 o'clock Friday morning when Al Ghoreyeb and Lee Turner helped the beer distributor tap the first keg and had the first beer. Friday noon our excellent five-piece band appeared and stayed with us until early Sunday morning, playing their hearts out on every occasion. Our dinner Friday night was buffet style at Zinck's and the women of the Class joined us for this occasion. If you can imagine 140 people in Zinck's, together with our band, you can see that it was rather crowded but no one seemed to mind. Swifty Borhman '41 who now owns Zinck's, provided us with an excellent buffet dinner. Friday night, some of the Class attended the Glee Club Concert, but Bailey Hall is still not air-conditioned and by 10:30 most of the Class had re-assembled at our tent. Your Reunion chairman, after getting off to a good start Thursday evening, decided to get some sleep Friday and, although I left our tent at 1:30, I am reliably advised by Gus Vollmer, Bob Hughes, Bill Graham, and others that things continued at a fairly lively clip until close to dawn. Saturday, we all attended the Reunion luncheon at Barton Hall and then, under the very capable drum-majoring and banner-carrying of Lee Turner, joined the Class Parade to Hoy Field, where we had our pictures taken. Our band was augmented by fifteen toy-trombone players from our Class under the capable leadership and tutoring of Red Bouton. After this we spent the afternoon at the tent and found to our pleasant surprise that Gus Vollmer had brought a case of rum with him from Venezuela, and he and a self-appointed committee consisting of Monty Woodruff, "Hick" Hickenlooper, Frank Burgess, Jerry Asher, and others concocted about twenty gallons of milk punch which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Our Class Dinner Saturday night was at Joe's Restaurant and we were deeply indebted to the entertainment committee for not supplying us with any speakers or program. It was a delightful dinner and afterwards we met at Barton Hall for the giant Reunion Rally. Here again we were most conspicuous by our colorful uniform, our band, and our cheers and singing. At this rally we learned that our Class had attained over 103 per cent of our quota for the Alumni Fund, which was gratifying to us all. After this, we returned to our tent and enjoyed the fellowship, singing, and beer until the glorious week end ended about 4 a.m. Sunday morning. It is impossible to list the names of all those from our Class who attended the Reunion, but I should mention that the two who came the farthest were Gus Vollmer from Venezuela and Dick Ryan from California. You can look for your friends in our picture on next page.

She looked up once, smiled, and returned to Morpheus. I suppose most of ushad never seen the Faculty, particularly our own professors, in their academic suits before the ninth, and few had even seen a Cornell diploma. Now that thecaps and gowns are once again in therear of the professors' closets and the diplomas areeither framed, lost, or forgotten, it is fitting to examine a few of the '52 adventurers' activities. As you read this, several of the Class are churning the far seas with the fleet, several are endeavoring to pilot the elusive T-6 through the Southern sky, some are firing weapons of divers sizes at foes we hopeare as yet imaginary. There area few in the great chemical and industrial plants, and there are a few whohave settled down to marriage and a home. It is interesting to note that this column can report that no member of the Class hasbecome the chairman of a large corporation, as dothe columns of most of our collegues.

How the Hying Tigers got over the Hump l InNovember, 1945, we told the story, in this series, of 12India-China "hump" flyers from the American Volunteer Group who came home from the war and started an air freight business. They called their company The Flying Tiger Line Inc. 2 As wetold youthen, the veterans pooled all their savings but they still needed additional capital tolaunch their project. Several Los Angeles businessmen offered to furnish this capital on a 50-50 basis—the veterans tooperate the company. This capital enabled themto start operations on June 25,1945, with8 war surplus Conestoga cargo planes. 5 The company has used Union Oil aviation products since it began operations in 1945. But that doesn't seem nearly as important to us as the fact that the men were able to accomplish these things. It could hardly have happened under anything but the American profit and loss system. 3 Over the last seven years the company's growth has been spectacular. Their fleet ofplanes has grown from 8 to 39. In 1949 they received thefirstcertificate toflyU. S.Air Freight Route 100. And they now operate daily transcontinental schedules to 43cities, in addition to world-wide contract and charter services. Thecompany has now contracted for seven newDC-6A's—the largest order ever placed for cargo planes. 4 Last year their fleet earned a total revenue of $153^ million compared to $458 thousand the first year. In 1951 their planes flew a total of over 133^ million miles compared to J^ million miles the first year. Today The Flying Tiger Line Inc., isthe world's largest certificated freight and contract air carrier. 6 For without the profit incentive the businessmen wouldn't have put up the capital to start thebusiness in thefirst place. Without the hope ofgainingfinancial independence, the veterans wouldn't have had the incentive to sweat out the problems of starting the companyand developing it. Altogether, we think it'sa wonderful example of the advantages of our American free enterprise system over others. UNION Off, COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA.
