SΛV3M INΠΛUΠV A composite picture of success This combination of photographs symbolizes the more than 450 qualifying members of the Leaders Association, New England Life's organization of top salesmen. They have diverse appearances and personalities, come from different backgrounds, employ a variety of selling methods. Yet all of these men have a common base on which their success has been founded: belief in their product. Our Average Leader* believes so strongly in what he sells that his own life is insured for $96,950! And his enthusiasm and ability led to an income of over $20,000 average ($15,000 median!) last year, through sales of more than a million dollars of life insurance. The average size of the 51 policies he sold was $22,523 — four times the national average of the industry. A college graduate, Mr. Average Leader entered the life insurance business at the age of thirty-four. Now only forty years old, he is a successful and hard-working businessman who enjoys unusual independence. Perhaps a career of this sort appeals to you.There are opportunities at New England Life for other ambitious college men who meet our requirements. For more information, write to Vice President L. M.

Cornell Alumni News VOLUME 62, NUMBER 4 OCTOBER 15, 1959 Bard '04 Gives Metallurgy Building Completing Engineering Quadrangle GIFT of $1,500,000 for a Metallurgical Engineering building from Francis N. Bard '04 was acknowledged at a dinner given by the University of Chicago, 111., September 28. The building will adjoin Thurston Hall on the west, next to Hoilister Hall, and will complete the new Engineering College Quadrangle south of Campus Road. It will have offices, classrooms, laboratories for expansion of the work in Metallurgical Engineering now carried on in Olin Hall; foundries replacing those still in use along Fall Creek gorge and will be adjacent to the materials testing and research facilities in Thurston Hall. Architects for the new building, as for Thurston & Kimball Halls,, are the firm of Shreve, Lamb & Harmon Associates of New York City, of which Harold C. Bernhard '26 is a member. It is expected that construction will start next year. His Professorship Started Growth In 1947, Bard endowed the Francis Norwood Bard Professorship of Metallurgical Engineering with a gift of $250,000 and the School of Chemical Engineering was renamed the School of Chemical & Metallurgical Engineering. The Faculty of Metallurgical Engineering has now grown to six members and there are fifty-five undergraduate students in the five-year course for the degree of Bachelor of Metallurgical Engineering and five graduate students. First holder of the Bard Professorship was Peter E. Kyle '33. The present Bard Professor, George V. Smith, noted that modern technology has brought "a twofold need: for greater knowledge in metallurgical engineering and for young men prepared for roles of responsibility and leadership in this vitally important Francis N. Bard Ό4— Gives University $1,500,000 building for Metallurgical Engineering. field." Bard's gifts, he said, will help the University to fill both needs. About 100 invited guests attended the Chicago dinner for Bard, at the Blackstone Hotel. They included Mrs. Bard, their family and friends, and Cornellians of the area. Trustee Maxwell M. Upson '99, donor of Upson Hall for Mechanical Engineering, presided. President Deane W. Malott told of Bard's rise as a leading industrialist and compared him to Ezra Cornell as a "rugged individualist." He named some of the early donors to the University and those of more recent times and credited them for making possible the Cornell of today. Dean Dale R. Corson of the College of Engineering pointed out the present need for more knowledge of metallurgy in engineering and technology, to solve the new problems that confront the world. Upson called on Professor S. C. Hollister, retired Dean of Engineering, as the man who conceived and brought to fruition the new Engineering College plant of ten modern buildings. Dean Hollister spoke of his gratitude to Bard for completing this project. Bard said that his dollars gave him triple pleasure: first, in earning them; second, in saving them and third, in giving them for worthy purpose. He made a strong plea that this nation should encourage and develop individuals who have capacities and ability, and not be satisfied with mediocrity, for its own salvation. Chairman of a committee of alumni that arranged the dinner was Newton C. Farr'09. Benefactor is Business Leader Bard has had a lifelong interest in metals and manufacturing. His father worked in rolling mills and founded Indiana Iron Co. in Muncie that became a part of Republic Steel Corp. Bard came to Sibley College in 1901 after two years at University of Chicago and received the ME in 1904. He first worked for Platt Iron Co. in Dayton, Ohio, and in 1908 he joined his father in the management of Norwall Manufacturing Co. in Chicago. He is now president of Barco Manufacturing Co. in Barrington, 111., developed in fifty years from a small research organization to the largest maker of flexible ball joints for transmitting steam, air, fluids, and gases, used extensively in the aviation industry and for missiles; railroad equipment for diesel locomotives and cars; and percussion tools for the construction industry. Bard is a rancher and farmer and big game hunter for eleven years he was a director of the National Association of Manufacturers and was president of the civil service commission of Highland Park, 121 111. He is a member of Delta Tau Delta, of the University Council, and of the Cornell Clubs of Chicago and New York. Press Publishes Lectures UNIVERSITY PRESS has published a book by Marjorie H. Nicolson, professor of English at Columbia, based on the Messenger Lectures she gave at the University in the spring of 1948. The book, Mountain Gloom and Mountain Glory, traces the change in feeling with which people have regarded mountains, from active dislike before the seventeenth century to the modern attitude of esthetic gratification. To her six original Messenger Lectures, Professor Nicolson has added two new chapters, a preface, introduction, epilogue, and index. The book is priced at $6. Another book by Professor Nicolson, Science and Imagination, has been issued by the University Press in its Great Seal paperback series. Famous Chemists Visit FALL TERM opened with visits by two distinguished chemists, Linus C. Pauling, winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954, and Rudolph Criegee from West Germany. Professor Pauling gave six Messenger Lectures on "The Molecular Phases of Civilization" during October. Professor Criegee delivered the first of seventeen Baker Lectures in Chemistry, September 29. He will lecture twice a week through November 24 on the general topic, "Oxidations and Oxidation Mechanisms in Organic Chemistry." One of the world's outstanding scientists, Professor Pauling is chairman of the division of chemistry and chemical engineering at California Institute of Technology, where he has been teaching since 1922. He received the BS in 1922 at Oregon State College and PhD in 1925 at Caltech and has been awarded many honorary degrees in this country and abroad. His special interests include the structure of crystals, nature of the chemical bond, application of quantum mechanics to physical and chemical problems, and discovery and investigation of abnormal forms of human hemoglobin and related substances. Professor Criegee is on leave from the Institute of Organic Chemistry at the Technische Hochschule, Karlsruhe, West Germany. He studied at the universities of Tubingen, Greifswald, and Wurzburg, receiving the PhD at Wurzburg in 1925. He taught at Wurzburg and at University of Marburg before going to Karlsruhe in 1937. Ήe was appointed professor of chemistry there in 1947 and was elected to the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences in 1955. Cornellians Get Guggenheim Grants ELEVEN FACULTY members and ten other Cornellians are among the 321 recipients of new fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. The grants, totalling more than $1,500,000 this year, are made to scholars for research in all fields of knowledge and to persons of proved cre- ative ability in the fine arts. Two of the 1959 fellowships went to members of the History Department. Professor Mark M.

Cornell Alumni News On the HΠI 0 CAMERA replaces typewriter for this issue to bring a picture-story of the University's opening and one of the most memorable events in the student's life here: those first few days spent as a bewildered Freshman in strange but friendly surroundings. For "orientation," the 2200 members of the Class of '63 (about 1600 men and 600 women) were organized into six groups, with some 275 student men and women volunteers assigned as their guides and counselors. In addition, the resident counselors of the men's dormitories helped the Freshmen. General chairman of orientation was Roger W. Kaufman '60 of Westfield, N J. Though Frosh caps are no longer seen on the Campus, it is inter- esting that each of the six Freshman orientation groups had its distinctive headgear, along with name buttons for recognition. Parents of Freshmen gathered in Bailey Hall, and the first convocation of the Glass of 563 was in Barton Hall with the President and Deans on the stage in academic garb. President Malott and other speakers stressed the cultural opportunities the University offers to students. Mother & father seize a moment to rest and reflect on what is ahead for Junior as a student at Cornell. (Continued) Frosh and their parents take great advantage of the wealth of knowledge offered at the Information Desk in the lobby of the Straight. Traditional Open House at the Straight provides fun and relaxation for newcomers with such activities as group folk singing and numerous "games of skill." 1 1 MAJOR PURPOSE of the orientation program was to familiarize the Freshmen with the University's objectives and policies and with their own opportunities as members of the academic community. This was done at meetings with advisors in all Colleges, discussion sessions in the dormitories, and continuous advice from student counselors. At the Class convocation. Professor Stuart M. Brown, Jr. '37, Philosophy, described "The Student's Role at Cornell." He advised them to profit by the cultural life of the community and by the "clash of informed opinion on almost all matters that one meets on all sides." This, he said, encourages both students and Faculty members to think clearly and deeply for themselves. Professor Brown urged the new students to take fullest advantage of their college experience. Orientation — Continued Spare time activities ranged from a quick scrimmage at the dorms to "corridor dates" for dinner at Jim's Place. But soon the spare time was spent buying books and supplies in the Co-op and registering for their first courses in the austerity of Barton Hall. >- Taking time out from meetings and discussion groups, we see an attractive co-ed "bopping" with Pappy Bear. The Frosh men aren't wasting much time either; already in the Ivy Room being extra-casual in trying to obtain dates. A Student's Evaluation Ivy League Cow College BY DAVID B. SIMPSON '60 "Cow COLLEGE in the Ivy League." These words have more than once been used to describe Cornell university; usually, also,, they have been employed in a not altogether favorable context. A companion Ivy League paper, for example, recently used them in an article designed to imply that Cornell wasn't really quite up to the standards that this particular arbiter of educational values considered desirable. Yet they are words that should not really disturb those who are this year entering Cornell for the first time, any more than they have disturbed past generations of Cornellians. Rather, they should be accepted with a slight senseof pride in Cornell's special and unique character that permits it to be described accurately in terms applicable to no other American university. Who, for example, would think of describing Yale that way? Or Harvard? Both schools undoubtedly would be as reluctant to offer courses in animal husbandry or plant breeding as they would be loath to lose their Ivy League status. Nor are these words any more applicable to Kansas or Michigan State, where both the superficial and the meaningful values of Ivy League status are likely to be submerged beneath an avalanche of extension courses in wildlife management. nell that is worth noting. The quality and flavor of this freedom is easier to appreciate than to define. Academic is not the word that properly denotes it. It includes academic freedom, of course, but it is something more, and at the same time something less, than that: something less formal, something less selfregarding, something more worldly, something, I will venture to say, a bit more impudent . . . Surely, what Becker said here was true. It does not involve too long an acquaintance with the University to appreciate the validity of his remarks. And they are correct now, despite the passage of almost twenty years (they were delivered in April, 1940, at a meeting to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the signing of the charter of Cornell University), just as they were correct when they were made, and despite the inevitable changes in the aspect of Cornell wrought by the passage of time and the implementation of change. Gives Diverse Impressions But, though they are correct, they are not the whole story. They cannot be. Cornell is a big, sprawling, and variegated place. Its much-vaunted, or muchderided, diversity is no fact of casual importance chiefly noticeable in brochures describing Cornell to potential matriculants. And because Cornell is diverse, in the sense that it offers a wider choice of curriculum to a wider variety of students than any other university that comes to mind, its character must be diverse. And so each person who attends Cornell will leave with a slightly different and particularly personal impression of exactly what it is that makes Cornell the place it is. This leads to the fact that whatever else may be said about Cornell, it is not provincial. Perhaps paradoxically, there are few universities less provincial and more catholic than Cornell. It is, after all, a remarkably self-sufficient university community located in a small and rather out-of-the-way town. Harvard, on the other hand, is in Boston; Yale and Princeton, little more than an hour from New York. Yet Cornell, one would venture to say, is perhaps less provincial than its fellow members of the Ivy League, despite the fact that the nearest outside community of any size is Syracuse, hardly one's idea of a cosmopolitan environment, and that even Syracuse is fifty miles away. Students of Many Backgrounds Cornell is non-provincial and receptive to new ideas and attitudes partly because it has a student body whose members are drawn from all sorts of different backgrounds and who are seeking all sorts of different goals. It draws its students from highly competitive urban public schools and from easy-going rural ones, from the best of the private preparatory schools and from the most mediocre. It was one of the first universities to operate on a co-educational basis; it was the first in the Ivy League to do so and Cornell women have always been a University Has Distinct Character To accept the fact that Cornell is somehow unique, however, to acknowledge without embarrassment that it is a cow college in the Ivy League, and to agree with a little pride that it is the only cow college in the Ivy League, does not make it any easier to describe the University's "corporate personality." Much has been written in this regard and much of what has been written has not been wrong. Nobody who has ever been associated with Cornell would care to say that Carl Becker, one of the University's greatest professors, was incorrect when he wrote: Cornell has a character, a corporate personality ... an intellectual tradition bywhich it can be identified. The word which best symbolizes this tradition is freedom. There is freedom in all universities, of course—a great deal in some, much less in others; but it is less the amount than the distinctive quality and flavor of the freedom that flourishes at Gor- David Simpson, a Senior in Arts & Sciences fom New York City, is associate editor of The Cornell Daily Sun.

Peyton Tattersfield '30 and Mrs. Tattersfield. Guests of honor were Professor Kenneth L. Turk, PhD '34, Animal Husbandry, and Mrs. Turk.

He will return to Ithaca February 1, after visiting Colombia and Chile. Pictured above, from left, are Tattersfield, Mrs. Turk, Club President Juan J. Martinez '27, Mrs. Tattersfield, Professor Turk, and Mrs. Martinez. Cornell Alumni News distinctive part of the University's student body. It educates more foreign students than almost any other university in the United States. This tremendously varied complex of students, all with different training, different values, different aspirations, different skills, produces a truly cosmopolitan sort of intellectual and social atmosphere. So too does Cornell's large and varied Faculty contribute to its lack of insularity and its hospitality to things apart of the ordinary. For among this Faculty are men expert in almost every field of knowledge, not adverse to displaying their expertise, willing to dispute with their colleagues in order to do so. The result is that to avoid becoming enmeshed in total confusion, or being pushed into total vacuousness, students are forced to deliberate for themselves, to think, to decide, to make choices. A Place for New Ideas Because of these facts about the University's student body and its Faculty, only the fool can come to Cornell, pass four or five years here and yet fail to be touched by any new ideas or transformed in any way. Cornell, through nothing else than the mere fact of its existence as the kind of place it is, teaches the foolishness of provincialism and the virtues of open-mindedness. One cannot come to Cornell and fail to be impressed by the variety and breadth of human knowledge, by the impossibility of knowing everything, or by the exciting possibility of knowing more than one does. Whether, once having come to Cornell and having been made aware of that provincialism which, in some degree, characterizes each one of us, we go on to remedy this by taking advantage of the opportunities for self-expansion which are so much present at Cornell, at the intellectual and social level, inside the classroom and out; this is a matter that nobody but the individual student can determine. Certainly not the University. Cornell cannot. And if it could, it would not. The Price of Coming to Cornell For Cornell is no more authoritarian than it is provincial. Just as it is not committed to any particular set of values or body of ideas, political, economic or social, it is not committed to enjoining its students to think along any particular lines. Rather, it leaves them free to think, or flounder, for themselves. To be shocked into an awareness that the universe of man is vastly larger than one ever previously imagined and then to be forced to set about learning how large this universe actually is: this is the price of coming to Cornell. It perhaps seems a high price, suddenly to feel one's ignorance, individually to have to overcome it. But it only seems a high price because the value received is very much higher. Cornell's character lies herein, in this unequal bargain. One may wonder what all this has to do with a description of Cornell as a "cow college in the Ivy League." It is partly related to the fact that this description implies that Cornell is out of the ordinary, and this it certainly is. The chances of failing at Cornell are prob- ably higher than they are elsewhere but then, the rewards for succeeding are commensurately greater. And this description tells one something else. It is not so very easy to be a cow college in the Ivy League—cows don't feed very well on ivy and ivy grows better without cows—but it is not so easy either to be a student at the only cow college in the Ivy League. It is worth it, however. Observations BY SAMUEL P. HORTON '27 'The Engineer Was at the Throttle; She Blew IT MUST fill old Engineering grads with a mixture of wonder and nostalgia when they come back to the Campus and take a look at what has happened in their bailiwick since they chewed tobacco in the labs where smoking was taboo. Little remains of the ancien regime of Cornell Engineering; as architecture., anyhow. Sibley survives as a structure, but parts of it now house experts on government and other parts, at least temporarily, afford space to the kind of art that lately threatened the decrepit walls of the Morse Hall ruin. The whole north end of the Quadrangle has seceded from the engineers to which it once belonged. A new quad especially devoted to Engineering has appeared where student baseball games at the turn of the century used to produce scores of about 34—19. New Buildings Arouse Comment Some Engineering alumni,, I presume, will look askance at the recent architecture. I recall that a few old-timers began to yowl about the very first of these novelties, Olin Hall, because, as Rym Berry good-humoredly observed, "It looks like an engineering building, which it is." The low-slung cinder blocks and glass walls of the modern Engineering Campus on the former Old Armory green will probably annoy other oldsters. I'm not wild about them, myself; but since it is well known that I can't change a fuse without endangering the electric power of whole counties, you may set my views aside. Whatever my opinion of the new Engineering Quadrangle as a contribution to the beauty of the Campus, I heartily applaud the honor accorded some worthy men by the names inscribed on these buildings. Though not an Engineering alumnus, I know enough about Cornell to welcome halls of technical science that acclaim such engineers as Bobby Thurston, the first great professor of mech, and Dean Dexter Kimball, whom I knew. Thurston died before I came to Ithaca forty-eight years ago. Practical men of his generation outside the college world had cogent reasons for revering him. "I don't know anything about engineering," said Major Dwight Burdick, the Ithaca veteran who'd commanded an artillery battery at Chancellorsville, "but that fellow Thurston was shoveling coal on a gunboat when Farragut took Mobile, and he must be all right." A Greater Engineer Kimball, Thurston, Hollister: all these and more deserve the recognition they have attained. But as one who shared the joys and woes of certain Engineering students in Baker Tower years ago, I wonder what has happened to the fame of an engineer greater even than these. William A. Anthony, professor of Physics in the day of Andrew D. White, apart from sporting one of the most impressive sets of burnside whiskers ever seen hereabout, had the following distinctions: (1) He built the first effective large-scale dynamo in the world. (2) He used it to power the first arc-light system in the world, right on our Cornell Campus, my friends. (3) Having proved in Kansas City that you could run an electric trolley line with such a dynamo, he installed the second of such lines here in Ithaca. (4) At the request of President White, he laid down the plan for the first College of Electrical Engineering in the world, again at Cornell. As a true pioneer in electronics of the sort that has revolutionized history, Anthony made Thomas Edison look like a contriver of gadgets, yet his sole memorial at Cornell thus far appears in the writings of A. D. White and Carl Becker. I am not pleading for an Anthony Hall. Probably the Engineering Quadrangle has as many buildings now as it can take without suffocating. But there are streets to be named. There are Library collections to be donated. Above all, there are endowed professorships, guaranteeing the memory of their donors far beyond the durability of brick or stone, and for less money. Any of these might pay appropriate tribute to Professor William A. Anthony or other Engineering giants. October 15, 1959 127 Work Starts for ILR Buildings DEMOLITION of the buildings around James Law Hall started the end of September in preparation for construction of a new plant for the School of Industrial & Labor Relations. This will occupy the area between East Avenue and Garden Avenue, from Barton Hall to Tower Road. James Law Hall, built by the State in 1896 for the Veterinary College, will be torn down and replaced by an L-shaped building with classrooms, the School library, and an auditorium seating 400 persons. This will connect with the former Moore Laboratory of the Veterinary College, next to Barton Hall, which will be remodelled for administrative and Faculty offices. The three former Veterinary buildings on Garden Avenue will be remodelled for the School: the one at the corner of Tower Road, for the adult education extension services next, an air-conditioned conference center for the many gatherings held here; and the southerly building will be devoted to research. The five buildings will surround a landscaped court, entered from East Avenue opposite Day Hall. General contractor for the State is Avella Construction Co. of New York City. Architects are the firm of H. Erroll Coffin '13 & Kenneth F. Coffin '18; consulting engineers, Seelye, Stevenson, Value & Knecht, of which Elwin E. Seelye '04 and Albert L. Stevenson '13 are senior partners. The State has appropriated $3,065,000 and completion is expected in two years. The School of Industrial & Labor Relations, since it opened in 1946, has occupied temporary buildings that are now in the middle of the new Engineering College Quadrangle, south of Campus Road. When it moves to its new buildings, these will be torn down and the area landscaped. Trustee Mrs. Adele Langston Rogers '33 spoke at a party given by the Cornell Club and Cornell Women's Club of Washington, D.C. The home of Jack M. Cudlip '46 in Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich, was the setting for a party given by the Cornell Club and Cornell Women's Club of Detroit, and a picnic of the Cornell Club and Cornell Women's Club of Delaware was at the home of Frederick E. Schmitt, Jr. '31 and Mrs. Schmitt (Ethel Bache) '31 in Wilmington. Other joint parties were given by the men's and women's Cornell Clubs of Maryland and Baltimore, Broome County, Syracuse, Westchester, and Dayton, Ohio. University Officials Speak About 100 Freshmen and their parents attended a party given in St. Stephens Church in Delmar by the Cornell Alumni Association of the Capital District and Cornell Women's Club of Albany. They heard talks by Alumnae Secretary Pauline J. Schmid '25 and John M. Brown, Jr. '50, Assistant to the Dean of Men. Brown also spoke to about eighty Freshmen of the New York City area at a get-together in the Nurses' Residence of the School of Nursing given by the Alumni Association of New York City. Trustee Francis H. Scheetz '16 spoke at a luncheon for Freshmen given at the Racquet Club by the Cornell Club of Philadelphia. The Cornell Club of Pittsburgh also gave a luncheon, while the Cornell Club of Cleveland held a picnic and the Cornell Clubs of Milwaukee and Hartford, Conn, had send-off parties.

The Cornell Women's Club of Rochester held a picnic in Ellison Park and the Cornell Women's Club of Schenectady gave a lunch at the Hotel Van Dyck. Clubs Give Big Parties Two Cornell Clubs joined with other alumni organizations in their areas in large parties for undergraduates and freshmen. The Cornell Club of Northern California was co-sponsor of a dance and get-together for all students returning to Ivy League colleges. The Cornell Club of Michigan was co-sponsor of a beach party for undergraduates and freshmen of Eastern colleges. Alumni Entertain Freshmen SOME FRESHMEN got an early start on orientation at home at send-off parties given by Cornell Clubs throughout the country. They ranged from picnic suppers and teas for women students to evening smokers for the men. At many of the parties, slides of the Campus were shown and undergraduates answered questions about life at the University. Freshmen on Long Island attended a send-off party given by the Cornell Club of Nassau County, and the Cornell Women's Clubs of Long Island and North Shore at the Cathedral House in Garden City. Cornell Club and Cornell Women's Club of Chicago gave a supper for new students at the Sheridan Shore Yacht Club in Wilmette, 111. Alumni 128 Industrial & Labor Relations School to Have New Home—Work has started demolishing James Law Hall to make room for a new building for the School of Industrial & Labor Relations. At right in this drawing is the former Moore Laboratory, which will be remodelled for the School, along with three former Veterinary College buildings above these on Garden Avenue. All will enclose a quadrangle with this entrance from East Avenue. Cornell Alumni News On the Sporting Side - Take Opening Thriller which took the ball back to the 17. Tino rolled out to his left, faked a throw to , HOW LITTLE the score of Cornell 20, Colgate 15 tells about this game! Played at Hamilton for only the third time in forty-six games, the contest that opened the season, September 26, drew a Colgate Homecoming crowd of 10,000. All enjoyed the bright, temperate weather, all had an ample quota of thrills, but only the Cornell partisans walked away chattering gaily. The home folks were benumbed. strong-side left, and threw accurately to Taylor, who caught it on the 6 and literally bulled two Colgate defenders a foot over the goal line. The sometimes faulty Colgate clock read 19 seconds to go and the Scoreboard read Cornell 20, Colgate 15. No one paid much heed to Tino's unsuccessful running try for extra points. Colgate had one play after the kick-off and a long aerial was intercepted by Tino. It was an absorbing game throughout. The last quarter was sensational. The Varsity contained the bigger Colgate team., coached for the first time by Alva E. Kelley '41, for three-quarters of the game while it built up a seemingly comfortable 14-0 lead. In fact, Cornell wasted a couple of opportunities and it did not seem to matter. But then in the fourth quarter, all hell broke loose! Colgate Rallies in Fourth Quarter Many Players Shine Sophomores McKelvey and Telesh were indispensable factors in this raid. There were veterans who showed commanding skills before and during it. The most effective runner for Cornell was Senior Daniel L.

Other Sports BAREFOOTED Marco T. Einaudi '61 won the cross country race in which Cornell defeated LeMoyne and Colgate, 20-4969. It was September 25 on the University golf course for five and one-sixteenth miles. The winner is the son of Professor Mario Einaudi, Government, and grandson of Luigi Einaudi, recent President of Italy. This was Marco's first victory as a Cornell runner; in fact it was the first time he has finished in the first division and in the scoring. His time was 28:53. Other Varsity scorers were Peter G. Slater '62 of Oceanside, third; John C. Munday, Jr. '62 of Cranford, N.J., October 15, 1959 129 fourth; Eric P. Groom '62 of Palisades Park, N.J., fifth; and Frank E. Brockman '61 of Dobbs Ferry, seventh. The Freshman team lost a three-mile race to Colgate and defeated LeMoyne the same day. Colgate yearlings scored 24; Cornell, 47; LeMoyne, 63. Allan W. Chapman '63 of Hunt ington won the race in 16:42.2. Cornell began its soccer season with a 3-0 shutout of Colgate at Hamilton, September 26. Olympic squad member Ronald P. Maierhofer '60 of Buffalo scored the first goal in the final minute of the opening period. Midway in the third period Rafael A. Alfaro '61 of El Salvador, on a pass from Alfred Rauch '61 scored the second. Rauch, son of Alfred Rauch '24 of Bryn Mawr, Pa., added another in the last period. Andrew S. Holmes '61 of Philadelphia, Pa. was an effective goal tender for the Red. September 30, the Varsity was upended by a strong Cortland State team at Cortland, 5-2. Cornell scoring was by Santiago J. Freixas '61 of Manila, P.I. and Hannington N. Chite '61 of Kenya, East Africa. Warner B. Berry '62, son of the late Romeyn Berry '04 and Mrs. Berry (Hester Bancroft) '22 added another trophy to his golf showcase by winning the first annual Tompkins County amateur golf championship, September 20. He defeated Dr. Richard Neish '45 on the seventy-fifth hole of the seventy-two-hole medal-tourney on the Ithaca Country Club course. Behind Neish by six strokes going into the last round, Berry came up to tie Neish at the conclusion of seventytwo holes and then beat him on the third hole of a sudden death play-off. Both had 302 for the seventy-two holes. This is the third local golf title Berry has won this year. He also won the Hillendale and University Club championships and was runner-up to Stewart M. Wallace, Jr., for the Country Club of Ithaca individual title. Alan J. Gould, Jr. '43 of The Elmira Telegram and Richard J. Schaap '55 of Newsweek magazine are members of the committee of sports experts and coaches that will select this year's winner of the Lambert Cup. The Cup is given by Victor A. Lambert and Henry L. Lambert to the small-college football team judged to be the Eastern champion. Last year, it went to University of Buffalo. Ivy League Golf CORNELL GOLFERS placed fourth in the annual Chicagoland Ivy League Alumni Golf Tournament, July 31, at the Barrington Hills Country Club in Barrington, 111. The team of Ralph Huszagh '51 and Stephen Klein '58 had a score of 150, six strokes behind the Dartmouth team, winners of the tournament for the third year in a row. Princeton was runner-up with 148, while Brown and Yale tied for third place with 149. Harvard and Pennsylvania tied for fifth place with 149 and Columbia was last with 167. The five-year team standings show Cornell tied for last place with Harvard, each with one win and four losses. Dartmouth leads with four wins and one loss and is followed by Yale, Pennsylvania, and Princeton (tied for third), Columbia, and Brown. Professor Albert '02 Dies PROFESSOR CALVIN DODGE ALBERT '02, Machine Design, Emeritus, died in Ithaca, September 23, 1959. He was eightytwo. Receiving the ME in 1902, Professor Albert became instructor in Sibley College in 1904, assistant professor in 1908, and professor in 1916. From 1919 until his retirement in 1944, he was in charge of the Department of Machine Design in the School of Mechanical Engineering. During World War I, he was chief inspector, senior engineer, and executive assistant with the US Shipping Board, Emergency Fleet Corp., Middle Atlantic District. He was co-author with the late Professor Fred S. Rogers '13, Design, of Kinematics of Machinery, and author of Machine Design Drawing Room Problems. He was a member of Sigma Xi, Phi Kappa Phi, and numerous professional societies. He lived at 205 Eddy Street, Ithaca. BOOKS For Human Satisfaction THE NATURE OF RETIREMENT. By Professor Elon H. Moore, University of Oregon, edited by Professor Gordon F. Streib, Sociology & Anthropology. The Macmillan Co., New York City. 1959. xvi + 217 pages, $4.50. The author wrote this book as he was about to retire, after many years of scholarly activity in the field of aging and retirement. After his death, the manuscript was edited by Professor Streib, who is directing a study of occupational retirement at Cornell. It is based on the actual experiences of more than 900 retired people and on the author's interviews with many retired families all over the country. Any person who is now employed, and his wife, will find encouragement, much sound advice, and very real help toward satisfaction and happiness in later life. Especially those to whom retirement seems a long way off should read this book now. Its sensible, down-to-earth treatment of the subject points the way to a long and healthy life. Carriers in Pictures FLATTOP. By Barrett Gallagher '36. Doubleday & Co., Garden City. 1959. 128 pages, 160 photographs, $5.95. This is a striking picture-story of aircraft carriers and their men and planes at work, from the decisive actions in the Pacific in World War II right up to construction of the first atomic-powered carrier, the USS Enterprise. In the Preface, Gallagher says that his job of photographing carriers is an "endless assignment" and it is: his Navy pictures illustrate an August Fortune story and cover and he photographed the shakedown cruise of the new USS Independence in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for Life magazine. It began when Gallagher was transferred from duty as a destroyer escort officer to a group formed of magazine photographers under Captain Edward Steichen to make a pictorial history of the Navy in World War II. He was ordered to the Pacific the fall of 1944. "I had been told," he says, "that the thing to do was to get attached to an admiral's staff, thereby becoming a member of a local outfit and obtaining a berth, a laundry number, and a mail address, but avoiding eligibility for watch standing and other routine duties. I had heard of Admiral Gerald F. Bogan and I got aboard the Intrepid in Ulithi and told him I would like to be on his staff. He had not heard of me and he asked me what my orders were. On Irish impulse I told him my orders were to go anywhere I liked, do whatever I wanted, and go home when I felt like it. After he had read them he said, 'Damned if they don't,' and took me on. From then on wherever I went, whatever ship I visited, Έogan sent me' carried more weight than any orders." So Gallagher made this action-packed documentary, as full of thrills, life, and progress as the ships, planes, and men it pictures. The development of the carriers and their functions is described in contributions by Admiral Arleigh Burke, Chief of Naval Operations, and five other senior officers of the US Navy. Simple Recipes for the Kitchen SHAKER RECIPES FOR COOKS AND HOMEMAKERS. By William L. Lassiter '24. Greenwich Book Publishers, New York City. 1959. 302 pages, $4.50. The author is senior curator of history at the New York State Museum in Albany and a leading authority on the Shakers. His Introduction tells the story of the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearance from the first American settlement in Watervliet, Albany County, in 1776, to the surviving 130 Cornell Alumni News fewer than thirty persons in colonies at Canterbury, N.H., Sabbathday Lake, Me., and West Pittsfield, Mass. His book is more than a curiosity. It is filled with simple but substantial recipes and household hints that are like the people who originated them. Austere drawings of the Shaker people and their implements are by Constantine Kermes. A complete index adds to the interest of the book. Kodak Helps Again EASTMAN KODAK Co. has again made a gift for the University's unrestricted use, "to help compensate for the difference between the actual cost of educating graduates now with Kodak and the amount that these graduates may have paid in tuition and fees." Every year since it started this program in 1955, Kodak has made a similar gift to Cornell,, based upon the number of graduates of the University that started work there five years earlier and were still employed. This year's grant of $12,000 brings the total amount for five years to $53,000. It is made for these Cornellians who joined Kodak in 1954, all now working in the Rochester divisions: Robert G. VanDuyne '49, main office; Arthur W. Beale, Jr. '45, Barrie Rabson '51, Ruth A. Kanis '53, and Henry E. Meurer, Jr. '54, Kodak Park Works; Richard K. Leinbach '53 and John R. Ellis '54, Apparatus & Optical Division. In addition, the company will finance two Kodak Fellowships to be awarded by the University to candidates for the PhD, one majoring in Chemistry, the other in Chemical Engineering. Each of these provides $2000 to the recipient, or $2500 if he is married and has children, tuition and fees, cost of attending one professional meeting in his field of study, and $1000 to the University to help defray research expenses. In this program to assist graduate students, too, Cornell has shared every year since Kodak started it in 1939. Kodak this year is giving more than $600,000 in grants for their graduates to seventy-five privately supported colleges and universities and for forty-four fellowships in thirty-seven institutions. "We look upon this program," say Kodak executives, "as an investment in the future of American education and one which will continue to benefit the company as well as the nation. College graduates, through their training and ability, have contributed greatly to the progress of the company. With enrolments expanding and costs mounting steadily, colleges and universities have an increasing need for support from private sources. We hope that Kodak's program will provide some immediate assistance and that it will help encourage addi- tional contributions by other interested Master '16 is chairman of Eastman groups and individuals."

To Find Nuclear War Protection A STUDY to find out how an industrial community in upstate New York could protect itself against nuclear war is a current project in the College of Architecture. Under supervision of Professor Frederick W. Edmondson, Jr. '36, Landscape Architecture, some thirty graduate students in the Department of City & Regional Planning will explore measures to keep a critical industry operating if the country were attacked with nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons. Coopperating are the State Civil Defense Commission, State Department of Commerce, US Office of Civil & Defense Mobilization, and industrial firms including American Machine & Foundry Co., Buffalo Forge Co., and International Business Machines Corp. IBM Supplies Data Study will be made of the feasibility of placing underground a hypothetical manufacturing plant employing 1500 workers. IBM is providing hypothetical site location and plant design data. The study will include planning for the protection of a supporting community of about 9000 inhabitants. "We are basing our thinking on the effects of twenty-megaton bombs," Professor Edmondson says. "It is expected that bombs of such dimensions would cause total destruction within a twentyfive-mile radius of explosion, and would kill by radiation fallout in large areas beyond that radius unless defensive measures are taken. This will be a prototype study, and we hope to obtain a better idea than we have now of what we should do to survive nuclear attacks in those places where survival will be possible. While we will be thinking in terms of 1965, of what can be done by then in the way of safeguards, we know that the problem is a present one and not simply one of the future. There are twenty-megaton bombs now in existence and we have no reason to doubt that a hostile power could use them against us now." Planners Must Consider Many Things Problems facing the group include selection of a theoretical site which will be outside present target areas and will have geographical advantages, availability of existing or planned transportation, availability to employees, and be suitable for community development. "We are thinking of a plant and supporting community which will be completely protected, and which will be able to withstand nuclear radiation, thermal radiation blast, shock, and fallout," Professor Edmondson explains. "We are also taking into account that an enemy might attack with biological or chemical weapons, where we would need the same or similar defenses. This community would be designed so that all persons could be sheltered within a very short time, perhaps in a matter of twenty minutes or so. The community would be powered by a nuclear reactor, it would be stocked with raw materials for its industry, it would have food, water, and other necessities so that it could continue to function by itself for as long as two weeks. It is expected that by that time a Federal recovery program would go into effect." The students will consider various sites and two kinds of construction which might be used: boring into the side of a mountain or large hill or scooping out a large depression in flat land, building structures, and then covering everything with soil. Results of the study will be reported to the State and Federal civil defense organizations and Governor Rockefeller's Committee for Radioactive Fallout Protection. University Provides Expert Advisers Advisers will be drawn from throughout the University. Among them will be Professors Ta Liang, PhD '52, Civil Engineering; Gordon Fisher, Structural Engineering; and John R. Lamarsh, Engineering Physics; and Jaan A. C. Mellin, an architect from Stockholm, Sweden, who is visiting critic at the College this year. New York State Geologist John Broughton will also be an adviser. Expand Auto Injury Studies RESEARCH on what happens to people in highway accidents will be stepped up by the University's Automotive Crash Injury Research program as a result of increased support from the US government and the automotive industry. John O. Moore, director of the project, has announced that in addition to a previous grant from the Defense Department, the project has received more funds from both the US Public Health Service and the Automotive Manufacturers Association. Last year, these gave $150,000 for the program. Larger grants will increase the operating budget 20 percent, to $410,884. October 15, 1959 131 To make quicker reports of findings possible, staff changes and additions have been made. Robert M. Tracy, former administrator of field operations, is now associate director and Boris Tourin, former administrator of research, is coordinator of research. Myron I. Macht is promoted to administrator of field operations and B. J. Campbell, formerly assistant director of the Institute ofGovernment at University of North Carolina, joins the staff as administrator of research. The Automotive Crash Injury Research project, with headquarters in New York City, gets accident reports from police officers and physicians in test areas in nineteen States. Gives Evangeline Picture WELL-KNOWN PORTRAIT of Longfellow's "Evangeline" has been added to the White Art Museum's collection of paintings. The original pastel, by the nineteenth-century French artist Emile Jules Saintin, is the most recent gift of Quinto Maganini, composer and conductor, and Mrs. Maganini of Greenwich, Conn. Painted in 1856 while Saintin was living in America, the pastel has been reproduced many times to illustrate Longfellow's famous poem. It is of young Evangeline seated at the shore and gazing sorrowfully into space. The inspiration for the pastel comes from four lines near the beginning of the poem's second part: "Sat by some nameless grave and/ Thought that perhaps in its bosom/ He was already at rest, and she/ Longed to slumber beside him." The painting measures about three and one-half feet by two and one-half feet and is in its original ornate gilt frame. For many years, it hung in the lounge of the Hudson River Day Line boat, "DeWitt Clinton." It was acquired by Maganini when the Day Line was discontinued. In 1954, Maganini started the Albert Kingsbury Memorial Collection of paintings and sculpture at the University, in memory of Mrs. Maganini's father, the late Albert Kingsbury '89, who became the first professor of mechanical engineering at University of New Hampshire. Mrs. Alison Kingsbury Bishop, wife of Professor Morris Bishop '14, Romance Literature, is another daughter. Maganini has since added many paintings and sculptures to the Collection. A Pulitzer Prize winner in music in 1927, Maganini led the New YorkSymphony Orchestra from 1919-28 and has been conductor of the Maganini Chamber Symphony Orchestra since 1932 and of the Norwalk, Conn., Symphony Orchestra since 1940. He is editor of Edition Musicus, a music publishing company of New York City.

Henry Detweiler of the College of Architecture is associate director, in its second summer of digging at the site in Western Turkey of the capital of wealthy King Croesus, made such important discoveries as an early Christian baptistry, part of a Lydian monument to the goddess Ma, and marble statues of a Roman official and his spouse. Professor Thomas H. Canfield, Architecture, Mrs. Detweiler, Alan M. Shapiro '58, and Anthony B. Casendino '59 were also in the expedition. In a vaulted room in the House of Bronzes, a luxurious, early Christian residence discovered last year and excavated by the archeologists this summer, Shapiro discovered a large medallion with a cross incised into the wall. The work is sponsored by the American Schools of Oriental Research and is supported by a grant from the Bollingen Foundation of New York and donations from a group known as Supporters of Sardis. Professor Chandler Morse, Economics, left in September for more than three months in South Africa as chairman of an economic survey mission for the British government in the High Commission Territories of Basutoland, Bechuanaland Protectorate, and Swaziland. A five-year economic development plan will be drawn up for the High Commissioner of the territories and the Commonwealth Relations Office in London. This is one of a series of plans for British colonies carried out since the war under colonial development and welfare acts of the British government. Michael Y. Jasenas has been appointed Rare Book Librarian in the University Library. He was reference librarian and senior circulation librarian at Rutgers. A native of Velziai, Lithuania, he received the AB and MA at College for Men at Panevezys and University of Kaunas; Master of International Affairs at the Sorbonne in Paris; and Master of Library Science at Columbia, where he is working for the Doctor of Library Science. He served with UNRRA in France, the Lithuanian Red Cross, and the Lithuanian Foreign Office and Home Office. Measurement and Evaluation of Organizational Performance, an annotated bibliography compiled by Professor Paul Wasserman, has been published by the Graduate School of Business & Public Administration. Covering nearly 400 books, articles, and documents, it contains sections on the measurement of the total enterprise, of the functional units of organizations, and of individual performance, as well as on measurement and evaluation of general and theoretical material. New member of the Development Office staff is Richard M. Ramin '51, who transferred, October 1, from the Admissions Office, where he was in charge of scholarships. As Associate Director of Development, he will work with Class organizations for annual giving and will direct the work of the Parents Committee raising funds for the University. Ramin was Alumni Field Secretary for two years before he went to the Admissions Office in 1956. Two other Asso- ciate Directors of Development have a realignment of duties this fall. Francis R. Clifford '50 is now director of the corporations program, in place of Richard T. Cliggott '53, who resigned; and Robert A. Saunders '36 is director of fund raising for CURW and the Cornell Plantations. David R. Dunlop '59 has become assistant to the Director of University Development. He received the BS in Industrial & Labor Relations in June and was the recipient of the annual Senior award of the Federation of Cornell Men's Clubs. He was on the Varsity football and wrestling teams; is a member of Chi Psi and Quill & Dagger. Captain Robert B. Bretland, USN, (above) has relieved Captain Reuben E. Stanley, USN, as professor of Naval Science and commanding officer of the Naval ROTC unit here. Captain Bretland has been commanding officer of the Naval Air Station at Ford Island, Hawaii. He was commissioned through the Naval ROTC at University of Washington, where he received the BS in Mining Engineering. Ordered to active duty in 1941, he received his wings as a Naval aviator in 1942 and served in several airship squadrons, both as executive officer and commanding officer. He received the MS in Public Administration at Ohio State in 1950 and as operations officer of the aircraft carrier USS Boxer during the Korean conflict, he was commended by the commander of the Seventh Fleet for his planning of air strikes. Captain and Mrs. Bretland have three sons. Captain Stanley, after a three-year tour of duty here, is Commander, Fleet Air, Philippines, at Subic Bay, P.I. James M. Tatum, assistant football coach and head baseball coach at the University from 1936-39, died July 23 in Chapel Hill, N.C. He was football coach at Universityof North Carolina. CURW has three new staff members this fall. Ewell J. Reagin, acting dean of the chapel at University of Chicago last year, is Associate Director. A graduate of University of Tennessee and recipient of the BD at University of Chicago Divinity School, he was formerly pastor at Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Bowling Green, Ky., and assistant to the dean of the chapel at Chicago. Mrs. Diane K. Tennis is acting Presbyterian chaplain. A. Lee Klaer, Presbyterian chaplain for the last fifteen years, was appointed associate pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Elmira. Mrs. Tennis received the AB at Macalester College and the BD at Union Theological Seminary and was assistant to the director of the Westminster Foundation at Rutgers. Charles S. Tyler is assistant Episcopal chaplain. He received the AB at Brown and the STB at General Theological Seminary. For the last two years, he has been curate at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Pawtucket, R.I. Mrs. Charles K. Thomas, wife of Charles K. Thomas '21, former professor of Speech & Drama, died August 28. She was the mother of Arthur L. Thomas '52 and Andrew W. Thomas '61. Professor Thomas is director of the English Language Institute for Foreign Students at University of Florida in Gainesville. Two books by Luitpold Wallach, PhD '47, instructor in Classics from 1953-55, now assistant professor of Classics at Harpur College in Endicott, were recently published. His Alcuin and Charlemagne: Studies in Carolingian History and Literature is Volume 32 in the Cornell Studies in Classical Philology, published by the University Press. It has 335 pages and is priced at $6.50. In this study of Alcuin's contributions to the growth of the Frankish state and its cultural development as a central part of Western civilization, Professor Wallach was assisted with a grant from the Charles Edwin Bennett Fund for Research in Classical Languages created at the University by Lawrence Bennett in memory of his father, the late Cornell professor of Latin. The author dedicates his book to Professor Harry CapIan '16, Classical Languages & Literature. Professor Wallach's Liberty and Letters: The Thoughts of Leopold Zunz has been published for the Leo Baeck Institute of Jews from Germany by the East and West Library, London, England. The 157-page study, priced at $3, "endeavors to put the leading ideas" of Leopold Zunz (17941886), German-Jewish scholar who laid the foundation of the scientific study of Judaism in critical research, "into the frame of the intellectual and political history of the nineteenth century." Mrs. Katherine Effinger Ware of New York City, mother of W. Barlow Ware '47, an Associate Director of University Development, died July 7. The widow of William B. Ware, she was ,chairman of Red Cross nurses' aides at Roosevelt Hospital in New York from 1947-55. Dr. Norman S. Moore '23, chairman of the Department of Clinical & Preventive Medicine, was elected secretary-treasurer of the American College Health Association at its annual meeting in Philadelphia last May. He succeeds John Summerskill, University Vice President for Student Affairs. In the September American Journal of Surgery, devoted to a symposium on sports injuries, Dr. Alexius Rachun, Clinical & Preventive Medicine and physician to the Athletics Department and Frank J. Kavanagh, head trainer, write on "Protective Football Equipment" and Edward R. Dye, former head of the Safety Design Research Department at the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory in Buffalo, discusses "Engineering Research on Protective Headgear."

Laurie of 713 Westcott Street, Syracuse 3, resigned as director of the Syracuse regional blood program of the American Red Cross, effective October 1. He held the position since 1950. The program covers twenty-four counties in the northeastern part of New York State, including Tompkins County. The number of volunteer blood donors from Cornell each year has been higher than from any other college or university in the region. Dr. Laurie has not yet decided whether to "retire and possibly die on the vine or look for another job and start another career." '11 Howard A. Lincoln 80 Bennington Street Springfield 8, Mass. Hans P. (Dutch) Berna writes: "Please take note of change in address; until further notice, 9216 E. De Adalena St., Rosemead, Cal. I retired from the Corps of Engineers, US Army, last March, and am staying with my daughter Barbara, Louisville U '53, and her husband, Joe Reed; the daughter being a teacher of music in the Alhambra public schools, a couple of suburbs away in this sprawling mass of humanity. Los Angeles is often permeated with an cun-angelic' smog and is peopled by a heterogeneous mob of all the world's races (next as many Mexicans in it as populate Mexico City itself). Next week I am going down to Escondido to visit Cline Hunt, CE '13, who is likewise retired and an experienced 'globe trotter.' He is just getting over 'Desert Fever,' said to be a fungus growth which is contracted by inhalation of certain spores floating on the desert air! It affects the lungs. Just had to go on another of Rewalt's famous boat trips due to aforesaid conflict in dates." Merritt Harrison (above), BArch, a designer of ideas, recently received one of the highest awards that can be bestowed by his profession. He is called the dean of architects in Indiana by fellow designers and was made a Fellow in the American Institute of Architects at the Institute's convention in New Orleans. Incidentally, Merritt's brother, William H. Harrison '21, also has this honor. It makes them the only brother team to have this distinction as far as we know. Harrison has designed many churches, most recent Meridan Street Methodist Church, Indianapolis. Earlier in his career, he designed the coliseum at the State fairgrounds and says it is one of his favorites among the many buildings he designed. His philosophy is as simple as his workroom: form always follows function. "A building has to serve a function first," he says. "Beauty then comes through proper design in proportion as well as in color and style." L FELLOW*'*;h FOR HE'S A JOLLV SOOD Men — Active members of the Class have always included men resident in Ithaca and associated with the University Faculty and Administration. Over the years there have been such as Ray Birch, Lou Boochever, Harold (Deacon) Flack, A. M. Goodman, Don Kerr, Carl Ladd, and L. N. (Sully) Simmons. All of them have passed on. Still participating, though in emeritus status, are F. W. Barrett, Carl Crandall, J. C. (Mac) Me Curdy, and Frank Pearson. On a bright Sunday afternoon this fall, Professor and Mrs. McCurdy celebrated 134 their fiftieth wedding anniversary. They invited the friends and neighbors. Ever since their marriage in 1909 they have made their home in Forest Home. When Karl Pfeiffer retired as assistant director of forests and parks for the State of Maryland, after forty-four years in the service, the testimonial dinner in his honor attracted more than 200 friends. There were forestry officials from four States, Federal timber officials, business men, and many other well-wishers. Karl was one of the first employees of the Maryland forestry department, starting soon after 1912. Tributes to him this summer included the gift of a framed copy of his 1917 certificate, with a polished plank, suitably inscribed, shaped from a limb of Maryland's Wye Oak. Karl's wife, Anne Bullivant, is just as good a Ί2er as he is, and his little brother Bub (real name Weyland, secretary of the men of '16), has long been the principal reason for the outstanding distinction of his clan among all Cornell Classes. Edward L. Bernays has been termed Public Relations Counselor No. 1, and no one seems to have presumed to challenge his right to the title. Eddie started early and has been building up his reputation for most of our forty-seven alumni years. He has been adviser to governments, corporations, individuals, trade associations, and other profit and non-profit groups. Now is announced a new enterprise, the Bernays Public Relations Counseling Letter, to go to subscribers bi-weekly from 630 Fifth Avenue, New York 20. A busy fellow, this Classmate. Look for the announcement of his retirement, along about 1970! Several of the men will be coming back for that last week end of the month, when Cornell plays host to Columbia October 31. There's still time, we hope, to find a bunk for any late comers, if the request is telegraphed pronto—FOSTER COFFIN '13 Harry E. Southard 3J02 Miami Road South Bend 14Jnd. Wip (Frederic B.) Wipperman, 1062 Thornby Place, St. Louis 12, Mo., and his wife returned in May from a nine-week tour of South America. Wip retired in 1958 as executive vice-president of the National Industrial Service Association. This trip was particularly interesting as they returned to the childhood friends and scenes of Mrs. Wipperman. It included Mexico City, Lima, Casco, Santiago, Bariloche, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Rio de Janeiro, and Caracas, with many personal friends and friends of friends entertaining them at all points. Much of their time was spent in Chile, the girlhood home of Mrs. Wipperman. Wip reported the most truly democratic and stable governments were found in Chile and Uruguay. He found that Venezuela was the only country in South America without exchange difficulties, although their meals and hotel cost about twice what they had been paying. But the hotel was strictly modern. When "at home" in the US, the Wippermans divide their time between St. Louis and Onekama, Mich., where they spend the summers in their "Shingle Shelter with gardens, boats, grandchildren, etc." You recall that the September ALUMNI NEWS had a letter Eddie (Edward M.) Ur- Cornell Alumni News band, 16 Holland Terrace, Montclair, N.J., who retired last March, wrote from Nara, Japan, telling of his travels in that country and his visits with various Japanese Cor- nellians. They gave a little farewell party for Eddie before he sailed for home and here is the jointly signed official communication that was sent to our Class through this column: Six nostalgic Cornellians who remember the Chimes, the Hill, the Library Tower, and the old times of our Cornell, gathered together at Kokusai Kanko Hotel, Saturday, July 25, at noon, to greet Eddie Urband and to bid him sayonara prior to sailing Tuesday for home. The gang sang the Alma Mater most lustily, age not withstanding.—Kanichi Kurita '25, Ichiro Motokawa '16, Takayoshi Yoda '29, K. Akabane '32, E. M. Urband '13, Shigeo Hirata '31. You may recall that by mistake I pushed Mace (Paul) Macy, 31 Overhill Road, Sca sdale, into retirement in the December 1 issue last year, when he actually was on the job going strong. Then in January, this year, I corrected the error, brought him out of retirement, and put him actively in business where he had been all the time. Well, now I am advised he really has retired, as of July 31, as director of paving mate- rials sales for Allied Chemical's Barrett Di- vision. So I believe you can accept this, this time, as the gospel truth. Sam ( Samuel B.) Scudder, 324 Lucas Ave., Kingston, who retired in January, 1957, spent last winter taking a 5500-mile trip in their house trailer to Florida, New Orleans, Natchez, and other points in the South. I presume, Sam, you are busy right now laying out this winter's trip. "V. E." (Veryl E.) Mann, 737 W. Evanston Circle, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., reports that he has no news. "Just loafing, golfing, fishing, and collecting stamps." Well, that would sound like pretty good news for me, anyways. '14 Emerson Hinchliff 400 Oak Avenue Ithaca, N.Y. For at least a month I have been working mornings and evenings (have kept the afternoons for myself) doing this sort of writing wholesale. In other words, preparing a '14 Class Letter. There's a bit more to do before I deliver the copy to the printer; it may take an extra eight pages. Or smaller type. Better get your glasses prescription changed, men! Finished off the alphabet by quoting an Aloha from Louis Zagoren via a postcard from Honolulu last Christmas. Professor Emeritus Hadley C. Stephenson was installed in mid-September as presi- dent of the New York State Veterinary Medical Association at its annual convention, at Grossingers, down on the borscht circuit. I wonder if they feed their trotters cabbage down there, the way that French horse had to eat artichokes? I was at a similar place, the Concord, at Lake Kiamesha, a couple of years ago for a Rotary district conference and found it a very pleasant experience. Hadley and his wife had returned just a few days before from Scandinavia. Must ask him if they feed their horses wood pulp up there. Not humans, anyway, as one eats well in that area. Hadley immediately bustled up to football practice; gave me one preliminary bulletin; Γm awaiting the definitive dope later. Leonard Treman and Madame T. left Idlewild the Monday after Reunion and I had a postcard from him almost immediately. It showed the Book of Kells, Trinity College, Dublin, which I had told him not to miss. Next stop was to be Edinburgh. He was still bubbling about our recent gettogether: "What a grand time we had at Reunion. Am glad my heart will let me take it in stride so far." Don't forget your nitroglycerin, Mick! To keep in shape for such things as Reunions, American Legion conventions, Cornell Club of Ithaca golf-football alumni week ends, and the like, Clarence Morse is in the hospital for a little herniotomy. That's a fancy name! Will sign off with another Aloha, but not before I mention that Bill Myers is back from his inspection tour in South America for the Rockefeller Foundation and looking well, as usual. '15 Daniel K. \Vallingford 64 West Ohio St. Chicago 10, III. Howard B. Wright, East Lake Road, De Ruyter, reports: "After forty-two years with Semet Solvay and Wilputte Coke Oven Divisions of Allied Chemical, I retired in July, 1958. I live six months in De Ruyter and winter in Clearwater, Fla., enjoying leisure of retired life mixed with some golf, shuffleboard, fishing, and swimming. Looking forward to Reunion. Son, Robert H. Wright '42, married Connie HoΠister '42; is in sales work for US Graphite Co. and resides in Pewaukee, Wis. Charles Alex Comfort and his wife, RFD 2, Middletown, moved from the farm to Scotchtown near Middletown in the spring of 1958. His two sons and a daughter are married and are the parents of his twelve grandchildren. Charles P. Clark, Skaneateles, plans to attend Reunion. Walter Rumangst, 211 Penrose St., Quakertown, Pa., hopes to be at Reunion. Meyer Dreschsler, 7207 Bay Drive, MiMami Beach 41, Fla., retired in December, 1958 as chief of contract co-ordination and office engineering branch for the Corps of Engineers, USA. Otto H. Bauer, 16 Redcliffe Ave., Highland Park, N.J., has been in the lead-acid storage battery industry for a number of years. He says his most exciting interest is a son who is a Freshman in Arts & Sciences at Cornell. J. Scott B. Pratt, PO Box 764, Kaneohe, Hawaii, is not certain that he can attend Reunion. Retired for the last ten years, he has many hobbies, chiefly orchids and plants. His only son, J. Scott B. Pratt III, was made president, early this year, of Hawaiian Trust Co. in Honolulu, oldest and largest trust company in Hawaii. Frank D. Lindquist, Box 456, Jaffrey Center, N.H., retired from active business last December and is now living on his farm. Floyd D. Dean, Northbrook, Pa., voiced his surprise that there was no tax of any kind added to our $6 Class dues. Maybe Ed Dixon is overlooking something. Floyd lists three Rs: Retired, Regret that a wonderful winter is over, and Reunion is one of a very few things that will make me leave this beautiful spot for a very few days." William T. Woodrow, 19 Elmhurst Place, Cincinnati 8, Ohio: "My son W.T. Jr. after six years in the Navy finally found a girl and last June they had a daughter, my first granddaughter. My grandson by my daugh- ter who died in 1952 is now nine. Expect to retire December 31 as vice-president of Fifth Third Union Trust Co., Cincinnati. Would welcome ideas from the retired members as to how to keep active, happy, and well." Action, he wants! Well, Bill, just let the officers of local organizations such as hospitals, libraries, art museums, churches, clubs, and schools know that you are retired. If that doesn't get you action, I miss my guess. Happy; you'll be happy because you'll be helping others. Keeping well; there's a complicated problem. However, some suggestions: no French pastry just before bedtime, a lemonade without sugar every morning, and don't get potted oftener than once a week (even seldomer is advisable). H. M. Stanley, West Lake Road, Skaneateles, was recently appointed to Temporary State Commission on the Revision and Simplification of the Constitution. He also is serving on the Education Practice Council to the Board of Regents and was recently re-elected president of the American Dairy Association of New York, has been secretary of the New York State Grange for the last twenty-five years, has administered a student aid fund for that organization since 1928, much of the fund being used at Cornell, and has been a trustee of Cornell since 1941. Arthur G. May, East Woods Road, RD 2, Pound Ridge, retired from Standard Vacuum Oil Co. several years ago is devoting some time to civic affairs; president of the public library and chairman of the fire commission. He has been raising game birds and gladioli; enjoys some time on Long Island Sound in his cruiser. His two sons are nearly sixteen and his daughter, eighteen, entered St. Lawrence University this September. George C. (Stars and Stripes Forever) Ruby, RD 6, York, Pa., continues to be busy with Symphony Orchestra, Industrial Management Club, chairman of building committee for a half-million-dollar church. He is showing the travelog of his tour of the 49th State for the benefit of churches and educational institutions. R. S. Saalfield, 102 Wolcott Road, Akron, Ohio, reports that his twelfth grandchild arrived recently. D. Douglas Demarest, 14 North Court, Port Washington, writes: "Still engineer of Linken Machines, Inc., Newark, N.J., designing machines for meat packers. Four of us started this twenty years ago and our machines are standard now here and abroad. We are still a bit, surprised. Had our first grandchild (girl) in October, 1958. Winslow R. Cuthbert, 1941 University, Eugene, Ore., says to hurry up with the Fifty-year Reunion. Don't fret, Win. It'll come along pretty fast even without our trying to push it. In the meantime, we hope to see you there. '16 Harry F. Byrne 141 Broadway New York 6, N.Y. Dr. Henry H. Kessler is the author with Eugene Rachlis, a graduate of Boston University, of a book recently published by Random House, Peter Stuyvesant and His New York, inspired by Doc Kessler's insatiable interest in amputees, past, present, and future. It seems that while enjoying the Broadway production some years back called "Knickerbocker Holiday," in which October 15, 1959 135 Dick Kolmar of radio fame and the host of New York's famous "Left Bank" eatery was the star, he became interested in the peg leg of old Peter Stuyvesant, one of the principal characters of the play, and off and on since then conducted extensive research on the famous limb. The written word, the painted representation, and the sculptures were all at odds as to the limb being the left or the right one on Peter, but the indefatigable researchers have now set all doubt at rest in locating a letter from the old gentleman himself in which he wrote "no small impediment having been the loss of my right leg." Clarence (Moll) Kilburn, our member of Congress in the House for many years now, was one of the distinguished guests, along with Mrs. Kilburn, at the dedication of the St. Lawrence Seaway in June, being presented to Queen Elizabeth on that famous occasion. The University Development Office staff tendered Bub Pfeiffer a stag cocktail party in the Red Barn, May 23, followed by a dinner in Willard Straight on, what was then, the approaching eve of Bub's retirement from his long and loyal association with the University. A Cornell Chair was presented to Bub at the dinner along with so many paeans of praise, to which he is so richly entitled for his selfless years on behalf of the University. More on Bub later. 9 Λ ^Ύ Men—One of the most pleasant I / and interesting fall week ends on the Campus is the one when the Cornell Club of Ithaca holds its annual golf day. This year it was Saturday, September 12. While watching the practice football game (with Williams) that day, we had a long visit with Dick Fricke who is retired and lives in Ithaca (lucky guy!). Dick occasionally is called upon by the Government to help on agricultural problems and recently spent considerable time training Porto Ricans in latest Ag methods. Didn't see any other Ί7ers that week end. Our sympathy goes to Mrs. Ells Filby who broke her hip in Ketchikam, Alaska. Ells wrote that their Alaska vacation trip terminated almost before it started. They are back home in Kansas City where we hope recovery will be rapid and complete. Before the Alaska vacation (?) Ells was in San Francisco on business and visited Bernard C. Dailey. According to Ells, Bernie is now retired as a "light colonel" and lives at 33 Pine Lane, Los Altos, Cal. Bernie and Mrs. Dailey do considerable traveling; so he asked Ells to see if a copy of the latest '17 Directory was available. We sent one to Ells who will bring it up to date and forward it to Bernie. Hope Bernie calls on many Classmates. If so, hope we get all the latest news. By the way, Ells is tickled that Homecoming Week End has been reestablished. It is, as you know by now, Saturday, October 17, when Cornell plays Yale. Hope to see many Ί7ers at the luncheon in Barton Hall. Another Ί7er who retired some time ago is Roy Gillett who lives with Mrs. Gillett at 164 Orchard St., Delmar. Roy writes that when not traveling they are busy with their flowers, amateur photography, community, and church activities, and their family of children and grandchildren (13). Had a nice, long letter from a fellow Ί7er BChem, Claude F. (Hap) Tears, who had just re- turned from Japan where Tears Engineers has two $6,000,000 construction jobs under way. Hap is president of his own company, and Claude F. Tears, Jr. '40 and another son (Southern Methodist) are associated with him. On his return to the good old USA, Hap had a nice visit over the phone with Goichi Nakamoto in Honolulu. Only thirty-two months to our Big 45th! CU in '62! And we hope to see you also at our next Baby Reunion in April, 1960, New York City.—HERB JOHNSTON Ί8 Stanley N. Shaw 742 Munsey Building Washington 4, D.C. The sun shone, the swimming pool glistened, the glasses clicked, and the annual '18 Class picnic was a wonderful success. This new institution has proved itself and will now, we all hope, become a permanent fixture. Certainly it will if Harry Mattin continues to be the kind, genial host at his beautiful Hudson River estate that he has been the last three years. Everybody, and the number includes almost as many wives as husbands, had a grand time. Never were steak and lobster more delicious, or better served out under the trees by Harry's capable staff, or better liked by a hungry crowd. It was one of those perfect early fall afternoons where there were no disturbances like football games, or world series games, or even Khrushchev to distract attention from the getting together of a really jovial Class group. I guess Harry must have fed nearly fifty people in the shadows of the fading sun. And before the big dinner there were bridge games, great activities in the swimming pool (especially when St. George Prince plunged his massive structure into it), and two bartenders were kept busy opening the pop bottles. Memories fade on that last point; it is probable there wasn't really any pop. People came from far and wide. Hank Boucher and your sometimes faithful correspondent journeyed all the way from Washington to Ossining to join the bunch. Tal Malcolm really brought his group up in the classic style. Les Fisher and Marjorie, along with yours truly, joined Tal and his smiling Monie in Westfield, spent a night on his beautiful yacht, then cruised out of Manasquan Inlet, up the Jersey coast, into New York harbor and up the river to the yacht club docks where Harry had a car to meet us. Others came by car from New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut. And there were all the familiar faces. Pat Wanser met everybody on arrival to fit them with suitable badges. Paul Miller was on hand, though he and his gracious wife had to leave before dinner. Lou Freedman, Ben Pepper, and Joe Lorin were up from New York. Will Place was his usual happily-grinning self. Harry Handwerger was one of the active committeemen who arranged the whole affair, along with Charlie Muller, Harry, Paul, and Pat. Joe Granett had his cameras along, and his pictures should be forthcoming soon. He took a lot of the finest photos, you will remember, at the 1958 Ithaca Reunion. Jack Shwartz was along, too, and Al Stolz, and Adolph Miron, and Frank Friendland. Hollis Warner came in from the far end of Long Island. Sawyer Thompson was a late arrival, but his appetite was equal to the occasion, and never was there a greater trencherman than Tiny Sawyer. How he did enjoy that corn and lobster! Unfortunately, Charlie Muller's dear wife whom your correspondent usually trusts to take notes and name names failed to do her job for me this time (though I know she enjoyed the party), and so nobody has yet given me a complete list of those who were there. Next month I hope to recall the names that have slipped me. Anyhow, we all had fun, and the wives seemed to get just as much of a kick out of it as the men. The only non-Ί8 man there was John Roosevelt, but he was forgiven because (1) he's a Republican and (2) he supplied us all with little jars of superb strawberry jam. Well, more about this party in our next when I'll have Joe Granett's pictures. Meanwhile, word comes from Jack Knight that if you want to continue reading this column, and at the same time keep the Class treasury out of the red (and Paul Miller happy), the time has come to pony up your Class dues payment. This year, after lengthy discussions between Jack Knight, President El Tuttle, and others, it has been decided to set a flat dues rate of $10. That's what most other Classes are charging now, and it includes, of course, a full ALUMNI NEWS subscription. This way, too, we will avoid having to penalize the small group of underwriters who have subsidized the plan the last several years. Make your checks payable to John S. Knight, and mail them to 44 East Exchange St., Akron 9, Ohio. Do it now, and also don't forget to send along to him (or to me) any news about your- selves. Ί9 Colonel L. Brown 472 Gramatan Ave. Mount Vernon, N.Y. The Class of '19, I am happy to report, is going to be a substantial supporter of the Cornell-Princeton football game, October 24. As previously reported, Edmond N. Carples and Mrs. Carples, Rocky Hill, N.J., have kindly offered the use of their home for cocktails and luncheon before the game. Classmates in the Eastern area have accepted the invitation, and how! At last count, thirty-five couples had signed up to attend. Those who have signed up have received instructions, or will soon, on how to reach the Carples' home. Expected to attend with their wives, and guest couples: Rudolph H. Deetjen (two guest couples), John C. Hollis, James R. Hillas, Edmond N. Carples (two guests), B. John Shepard, Charles H. Banta, Willard C. Peare, Eugene W. Beggs, Charles F. Hendrie, Colonel L. Brown, Richard P. Dyckman, Laurence S. Waterbury, Lloyd E. Bemis, Clyde Christie (five guest couples), Laurence E. Luce, Walter Measday, Jr., George T. Minasian (one guest couple), Lester C. Ringe, Chilton A. Wright (one guest couple), Leo Blourock, Chester W. Bissell, Dr. Alfred E. Fischer, Earl R. Evans, Arthur Simpson. The tickets will be given out at the luncheon, and at that time buttons will be given out with names inscribed, so that no one will have to stop and hesitate about who's who. William E. Wright, 222 East Bay Street, Savannah, Ga., when queried about attending the Reunion, replied that the proposed liquidation of the Black Diamond Express of the Lehigh Valley RR made it more dif- 136 Cornell Alumni News ficult to plan a trip. Do you remember the days when the railroads used to run trains? Anyway, Bill was there and he was one of the first Classmates I spotted with my bifocals. He is a forester-appraiser, which sounds like an interesting profession to me. Percy L. Dunn, PO Box 43, Milton, Wis., was unable to attend the Reunion because it was commencement time at Milton College, of which he is president. Percy has been president for the last five years of this century-old liberal arts college. He reports that he has launched a building and expansion program. He further reports that he has seven grandchildren from Connecticut to California. Dr. Samuel J. Silverberg, 1435 Chapel Street, New Haven, Conn., is associate clinical professor, Department of Otolaryngology, Yale Medical School; attending otolaryngologist, Grace Hospital, New Haven, St. Raphael's, New Haven; and consulting otolaryngologist, Griffin Hospital, Derby, Conn. Harold J. Bradley has been with Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co. for forty years. He expects to retire next year. He has three grandchildren living in California. Harold is a sales engineer and can be reached c/o Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co., 1406 First Ave., South, Minneapolis, Minn. '19 AB—Friends of the late Mrs. Margaret Van Nuys Tompkins, who was director of audio-visual aids of Somerset County, N.J. and a director of the New Jersey Welfare Council, recently conducted a drive to provide an organ in her memory for the auditorium of the new Bridgewater-Raritan High School. '20 Orυille G. Daily 604 Melrose Avenue Kenilworth, III. Looming large on the horizon a week away is October 22, the date of our annual Class dinner and the Big Kickoff for getting our Forty-year Reunion under way. It's next Thursday at the Cornell Club and a special treat for anyone in the environs of NYC who can attend. Topliner and guest of honor is S. Dudley Nostrand (above), who as president of Cross & Brown Co., is one of the most prominent realtors in the city, heading a great real estate firm in a Greater New York. Dud, who ever has his expert finger October 15, 1959 on the city's pulse, will recount the remarkable changes that have taken place in New York and what may be expected in the fabulous future. Cross & Brown established the firm's foundation in 1910 and has become one of the leading brokerage and property management organizations in the city. Some of the most interesting and intricate leases in the annals of real estate have been negotiated by this firm of specialists. More than 240 office, industrial, and apartment properties are under their efficient management, among them some of the most famous modern office buildings in New York. Dud, who has been in real estate practically since graduation, joined the firm in 1945 as executive vice-president, and became president in 1956. Dud is proud that their annual volume of transactions runs in the millions, but prouder that they handle each inquiry as if it were from their first customer. It's no secret that this policy spells success. The steering committee has been meeting like crazy for a month getting the Fortyyear Reunion organization set up. Ho Bal lou will outline the plans at the annual dinner and announce the following committee chairmen: attendance, George Stanton; costume, Dick Edson; housing, Irv Schus tek; welcome hdqrs., Jeff Kilborne; music, Hank Benisch; dinners, Walt Archibald; photography, Stew Solomon; finance, Joe Diamant; health, Russ Her; publicity and promotion, O. G. Daily. You may already have the first announcement, and if so, don't toss it aside, fill it in and mail it with your check at once. Be an early bird! You know you can't afford to miss this most important date in your life; so give in easy and do it! Well, I'll be burped, if old Grandfather Duncan hasn't dunked himself again in the blue of Cayuga and has spanned time and the lake again, and again! After last year's mighty accomplishment, we thought Wally would retire to the quiet of Bundy Road amid the glories of endless admiration of his grandchildren. But nyet! The daring doughty Scotsman still sought new segments of the lake to conquer. On a bright September Sunday Wally swam the lake from McKinney's Point (where Trainer Hunt Bradley '26 hangs out) to the opposite shore. This little jaunt is a mere 21/2, just a warm up for the main event the following Wednesday. With the flush of victory on his brow and incredible as it may seem, Wally pulled the coup d'etat of the age (or at least his age, 3 score and 3) by swimming from Johnson Creek to Wells College (showoff!) in Aurora, a distance of 3!/2 miles in 2 hrs. 15 min. Now it comes out; all this training and practice for three years just to show the girls at Wells that age is all in the mind. The two characters in the following boat who sang Cornell songs and stood ready with water wings were Blanchard Rideout, PhD '36, and Barlow Ware '47. We don't know what Wally has in mind for the Fortyyear Reunion, but we hope it isn't diving sixty feet into a plastic pool! A little of the determination on your part to swim, walk or fly to the Class dinner next Thursday won't win you a medal, but you'll have lots of fun. Try it! '21 Charles M. Stotz Bessemer Bldg. Pittsburgh 22, Pa. The '21 Class Council will hold a dinner meeting at the University Club in New York, November 17, to prepare plans for the Forty-year Reunion in June, 1961. Among those who will attend are Tony Gaccione, Spence Olin, Bill Kiggins, George Munsick, Harry O'Brien, and others of the Council. AlΓ Classmates are invited; if you can come, please notify Henry L. O'Brien, 70 Pine Street New York City—HAnover 2-1600. ^ ' Carl Livingston has lived in San Francisco since graduation. A friendly note tells us that he is not only president of Livingston Brothers and a board member of the National Retail Merchants Association but also that he has three grandsons and one granddaughter. He hopes you will call him at his office on Grant Avenue, San Francisco 8, when visiting his town or on your way to the Orient. Charles D. Mackey would be glad to hear from any of his Classmates who might care to write the Veterans Hospital, WilkesBarre, Pa., where he has spent the last two years. Mac will be remembered as a University wrestling champion and captain of the Cornell team. Luther S. West lives at 137 W. Ridge Street, Marquette, Mich. He is head of the biology department of Northern Michigan College and gives much of his personal time to local health and hospital work. The youngest of his six children, David, graduated from John D. Pierce High School in Marquette this summer, where his father gave the commencement address. Lute's score of eight grandchildren and two on the way is a creditable but not unusual record among us prolific Cornellians. Lute is active in Methodist affairs, holds "lay speaker" credentials and occasionally speaks from the pulpit. We suppose Lute also doubles in the choir as we remember he spent four years in the old Glee Club at school. Dr. George J. Young Chamberlain, Me. Let's do a quick follow-up on some Classmates previously mentioned in this column: Thomas (Tb) Brown of Bronxville is still a busy man, either chairman, director, or president of anything important in Westchester County. His family is growing up, too. Back in March, 1957, we learned that daughter Roberta Brown '56 was engaged. Well, she finally married the guy, Robert Silliman '56, who is now on tour with the Air Force. Daughter Margaret Anne, Kalamazoo '58, married a classmate. Daughter Ingrid graduated from Kalamazoo last spring. Tom Jr. hopes to enter Cornell next fall, and son George, now 10, is in grade school. Congratulations, Tom; that's quite a set-up! Maybe Wesley H. Childs has a new job. Two years ago we reported that he was chief chemist at the Chicago laboratory of the Illinois Department of Agriculture. He now writes: "Having lots of fun with Knechtel Laboratories, consultants to the candy industry. We make imitation candies for display purposes, as a side-line to our consulting services." That must be a mouth-watering job, Wes. The wheels of progress turned too quickly, with too much noise and expense for O. Lindsay (Lin) Clarkson. Lin lived in what used to be a nice little country town, Baby- 137 Ion, so he moved to Tuckahoe, away out in the sticks of Cape May County, N.J. And what happened? He's getting lonesome, and invites anybody who gets to Atlantic City, Ocean City, or Cape May to call up and stop in, and he'll buy you a drink. Lin has six grandchildren now, "all smarter than any other kids in the world." Speaking of grandchildren, William H. (Bill) Davies babysits to eight of them. Bill operates the Davies Homestead Farm in Ogdensburg and is president of the Dairymen's League of St. Lawrence and Franklin Counties. David O. Fletcher is still in the newspaper and printing business, publishing the Tompkins County Rural News in Dryden. Lowry T. (Buck) Mead continues to grow his blue ribbon apples and peaches in Chester, N.J. Son Harold is doing well in business, and last May daughter Claire gave up her position as guide at United Nations to become a housewife. Eddie Kaw writes from San Leandro, Cal. that he's well and happy. That's a new address, isn't it, Eddie? A year ago we reported that Charles R. (Tip) Morrow had four grandchildren. Now he has six and he's finding it hard to keep up with the job of spoiling all of them. Thomas K. (Kin) Salmon joined the grandfather club last December 11, with daughter Ann acting as his sponsor. George R. (Bob) Minskey was expecting his second grandchild. Hope it was a boy, Bob, Gotta make a mess of steamed clams; so I may as well get the water boiling. Don't take life too seriously; you'll never get out of it alive. '24 Silas W. Pickering II 30 E. 42d Street New York 17, NΎ. Early in August, Shorty Davis, Reunion chairman, convoked an emergency meeting of the steering committee of the Class to ponder a possible deficit hanging over our heads from the Thirty-five-year Reunion. Happily, the deficit was more ephemeral than real. But on the occasion our able, stalwart, and solvent treasurer, Fred C. Wood, presented a tangible token of esteem to Shorty Davis for his efforts in the many Reunions which we have had, with the following remarks: Some time ago it was suggested that the treasurer, in an informal way, search for and obtain, a suitable token of appreciation for Shorty Davis for his untiring services as our permanent Reunion chairman. Cost was not to be a consideration. It was suggested that this gift should properly represent to Shorty that his cup is overflowing with our gratitude and good wishes, that the magic number of "24" show the golden glow of friendship we have for him. This gift should be, not ornamental, but useful every day of his life; it should be mellowed with age, just as we are; appropriately it should suggest action, an action which we have participated in with him, such as drinking. From an antique shop in a remote corner of Cape Cod, such a token was discovered and it is a pleasure to present it to Shorty. With the cheers of his associates ringing in his ears, Shorty unwrapped a china cup with the mystic and cabalistic symbol of "24" emblazoned thereon. Lest,the Class in fearful consternation wonder whether the treasury was being vitiated in the purchase of such laudatory token, let it be known that our treasurer expended the appropriate sum of 24^ on this mug (sic). 138 '26 Hunt Bradley Alumni Office, Day Hall Ithaca, N.Y. Class dinner: Friday, October 30, Cornell Club of New York, 107 East 48th Street, New York 17, 6p.m., $6. Plan to join our Classmates on this occasion for good fellowship and to hear about the University from a speaker yet to be selected. President Harry Wade is coming from Indianapolis; Class Secretary Schuy ler Tarbell is handling arrangements; VicePresidents Jack Syme, Norm Steinmetz, Harry Morris, Dave Solinger, and Fund Representative Steve MacDonald, and Treasurer Gene Kaufmann all say they will be there. It may be that some of you who do not live in the metropolitan area will be in the big city on business. Be sure to include this congenial, friendly, gala occasion on your agenda! Send Schuy Tarbell your return card saying you will show. If you cannot attend, pen a short message on the card to be read at the dinner. See you on the 30th! '28 H. Victor Grohmann 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York 20, NY. Daniel J. Friedman (above) is now first vice-president of Friedman-Marks Clothing Co., Inc., Richmond, Va. If you've seen him since 1928, you may have watched him saw a lady in half, or maybe produce a Thing where Things hadn't ought to be. This is because Dan's hobby is magic. In fact, he's a past vice-president of the Society of American Magicians. He has also served or is serving now on boards of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, American Cancer Society, State Chamber of Commerce, Memorial Hospital, and University of Richmond. Dan and Teal's daughter Linda is studying at Goucher College. Son Dan, Jr., 15, is just beginning to look around for a college. Incidentally, Dan shoots skeet now and then. William A. Alcorn of Waterford, Pa. and Alamos, Mexico has carved out a most unusual and fascinating new career. Over the last twelve years he has been engaged in renovating the ruins of the romantic old city of Alamos. In a recent Saturday Evening Post article, "His Business Is Ruins," Bill is described as "at once the town's most dashing and controversial figure." A practicing dairyman until 1946 in Pennsylvania, he sold out then and went on a trip to Mexico, where he "discovered" Alamos. Then a near-ghost town, it had been in the early nineteenth century the capital of a sprawling empire encompassing the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua, and what is now our State of Arizona. Magnificent villas and ranchhouses were crumbling ruins, and the city's plaza lay victim to the ravages of time and plundering bandits. In all this Bill Alcorn saw the possibilities of restoration to make Alamos a Shangri-la for vacationers. So wonderfully has he succeeded that the Mexican government has made Alamos an official national monument. Active in Alamos community work, Bill has contributed money and bedding and served on a committee to establish the city's hospital. Billy, one of his three sons (he has two daughters, too), manages the beautifully rebuilt Almada mansion, now known as the Hotel Los Portales. At this writing, some ninety Americans have Alamos properties, and more are on the way. All in all, it's a most impressive and noteworthy achievement for Bill Alcorn. Don't forget to send in information about yourself with a current photograph. Men — The Yale Law Report, alumni magazine of the Yale law school, recently lauded in a full-page, illustrated feature story the skillful accomplishments of Louis Kass (above), lecturer extraordinary of the Yale law school, in soothing the bar exam blues of the law school seniors. Nice going, Curley. The picture of Lou was taken when he was lecturing at the Hotel Commodore in New York City as a member of a board of seven experts before a group of lawyers, bankers, accountants, trust officers, and life insurance men. George E. Simons, Jr. writes from 609 Coral Way, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.: "Retired from active business (hotel) seven years ago. Keep busy with investments, boating, fishing, etc. Only child, Betsy, married February 2. She and husband both attending Florida State University at Tallahassee.

Hampson of Gainesville, Fla., who writes that he, too, is enjoying the Florida sunshine, might contact George Simons, Jr. and H. W. Schultz as mentioned earlier in this column. The same goes for Obie J. Smith of Pompano Beach, Fla. In fact, what's wrong with starting a '29ers Florida club, like right away, huh? I need news!

Women—More notes from the diary: Visited with Clare McCann in Norwich for two days after Reunion. Clare, bouncing back from another bout with serious illness, was busy planning the dedication of the new Chenango County Girl Scout Camp at Sherburne. Talked to Elaine Ogle Adams at Greene. She's now regional director of the State School lunch program, said they've curtailed their maple sugar business a bit and are not flying their plane since husband Read '37 had a blood clot in his leg last spring. Their eldest son, who ran his own dairy all through high school, is a sophomore at National Agricultural College, Doylestown, Pa. Second son was to enter Manlius prep school this fall. Their daughter is a fifth grader. (Elaine said to tell "C. J." Swan she tried to find her when she was in Albany.) Also talked to Audrey Alike Brown who has moved to a farm at RR 1, Mt. Upton. She does cost accounting at Bendix-Scintilla. The eldest of her three daughters just graduated from eighth grade. She said, "we are overrun with rabbits out here!" An overnight stop at South Fallsburg with Flo Cohen Strauss. Met Buster (Ivan Strauss '39) and Russ and Teddy and talked about Cornell half the night. Next day Flo and I had lunch with Ruth Marquard Sawyer at her 150-year-old home in Goshen. Talked to Rick (who was admitted to Cornell but chose to enter Dartmouth this fall) and Tim (who hopes he'll get into Cornell next year) and Prudence (a sixth grader). Husband Dick is superintendent of schools in Goshen. Ruthie teaches shut-in children. Three days with the world's best Reunion chairman, Merle Elliott Ohlinger, in New Rochelle. Showed the Russian slides to Earl '36 and the six youngsters and some of Merle's friends. Phone conversations with Betty Chuckrow Simonds '36 and Helen Baldwin Martin. Helen said she was feeling fine and going back to work at the Life Insurance Association in New York City after two months of recuperation from surgery. Son Sam is at Long Island University after two years in the Marines. Robert attended Villanova a year, is now in the Army. Susanne is a senior in high school and Gordon is in fifth grade. Merle had recently talked to Marguerite Rosenblum Strongin who has two daughters, Lynn and Martha. One is a talented violinist. The other, after a long bout with polio, is going to University of Vermont. Merle also passed along the sad news from Hamburg, Germany, that Marie Rahn Wohlmann's husband had died. Brief visit at the home of Bernie '37 and Adele Massell Diamond '38 for a glimpse of Joan, 14, Peggy, 10, Jeffrey, 7 and Philip, U/2. Cocktails in Mamaroneck with Professor Leonard and Anita Cottrell and daughter Susan. Son Lennie was off traveling in the far corners of the world before finishing his university studies in Munich. Finally got to hear Professor "Slats" play his collection of recorders. He has 'em in all sizes and keys! Sandy '36 and Helena Palmer Wall invited Merle and me to lunch at their home in Darien Conn. Their whole family is water ski and boat-happy! Son Alec (now in the Navy, stationed on USS Purdy based at Newport) was home on leave, helping Sandy fix a boat. Son Lew, a high school senior, had a job as crew on a boat for the summer. Daughter Nancy, an eighth grader, was out boating in front of the house when we arrived. Sandy is now with Arthur D. Little, Inc., engineering and management consultants.—CAROL CLINE Men—Here we are at the start of another year. (In the ALUMNI NEWS sense, which makes sense to me, too, fall is the start of a new year.) Does anyone else feel the great curiosity about autumn? About how the youngest ones feel about the first weeks at school? About what really should be done to the house this year? How things are shaping up in business? What new things are going on in town, playing at the theatre, happening to the neighbors, being done by the children? And the winding up, as of a watch, of curiosity about Cornell. (It does have a tendency to run down toward summer, unless you've a Reunion on.) What's all this that James B. Conant has to say about my youngsters being prepared for college? What's this that President Malott is saying about long-range planning at the University? I'd like to see some of these new buildings they've been putting up everywhere. Do you s'pose Lefty really has a hot team this year? You mean there are new dorms below Baker? (This last from real Outsville, no doubt.) Wonderful how curiosity about Cornell burgeons in the fall! Now, getting down to cases. Hal Segall became the father of a baby girl last May. Their address: 10 Longview PL, Great Neck. Sad to note, John Fraser died in June in Kalamazoo. Alex Stout was appointed staff 140 Cornell Alumni News supervisor of the Syracuse agency of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co., which must be virtually run by Cornellians by now. Alex, his wife, and thirteen-year-old daughter live at 513 Robineau Rd., Syracuse. Gus Reyelt reports doing well at New Rochelle's Beach & Tennis Club, which he operates. Gus also operates one of the most successful catering businesses in New York's Westchester County. He also finds time to be president of the Quaker Ridge Dad's Club, a member of the Scarsdale Recreation Commission, and Junior League football coach (praises be!). His two oldest sons, James and David (17 & 16), are headed for Cornell. Chris (11) and the twins (4) are still undecided. Having been with N. W. Ayer & Son, advertising, for more than three years, I have finally succumbed to the charms (considerable) of Philadelphia (Ayer's headquarters) and moved bag and baggage from New York. My temporary Philadelphia address is 1926 Waverly St. I would hope to have many letters of congratulations, condolence, or just plain news. —STEVE DEUAUN 39 Aertsen P.

Hope in the near future to either go on to med school or perhaps graduate school with a psychology major. Psychiatry was always my interest. Mother still lives in Penn Yan, although my father died eight years ago. Plan to continue to live in Michigan unless I can persuade my fifteen-year-old son to go to Cornell for Engineering, in which case I will move East. Mrs. James C. Bishop (Ena Mackillop), 402 Maple St., Shafter, Gal., writes they "hope" to make a long-dreamed-of trip East the summer of 1961 and perhaps if dates coincide she'll make the Twenty-year Reunion. She has six children, 5 boys and 1 girl, ranging in age from 2 to 15 years. They moved to the small town of Shafter two years ago and love it. They are busy adding on to the house for needed bedrooms, etc. Children, home, PTA, church are her major activities.

'49 Men—Sorry that I missed an issue last time but be certain that the mean old, chowder-headed Class secretary has properly chastized me and the reformation has set in. If the talk that falls trippingly from the tongue of '49ers gathered at the Cornell Club and selected, sophisticated Third Avenue establishments here in New York is true, there will be quite a group back for Homecoming, October 17. Everyone seems to know someone from far away who has decided to make the trek. Class headquarters will be the same as at Reunion, Jim's Place, run by '49er Frank Willis.

Johnson 55 fane St. New York 14, N.Y. We found what its author accurately described as "a wheelbarrow load" in the mail from Doug Merkle the other day. Doug reports that after taking the Master's in Engineering a year ago he has been shipped to Indian Springs Air Force Base, Nev., on active duty with the Air Force. His outfit provides support for nuclear tests carried out in that neck of the desert. Temperatures run from 95 to 115, Doug says. Cheer up, Doug; fallout can be fun. Doug also reports that his brother John Merkle was married May 9 in Rochester to Marilyn Steffen '56. Classmates in and at the wedding included Eric Yueh, Dave Brackbill, Nancy Kohler Dean, and Betsy Collins Verbsky. Finally, Doug (mailing address is Box 63, Indian Springs AFB) reports that he has come across the following Cornell types, among others, since he arrived in the radioactive West: 2/Lt. John Ahearne, Research Directorate, Air Force Special Weapons Center, Kirtland AFB, N.Mex.; 2/Lt. Harry Halac '57, 4820 Crest Ave., SE, Albuquerque, N.Mex.; Herb Bool '54, c/o Lincoln National Life, Suite 401, 1625 S. Main, Houston 2, Tex.; 2/Lt. John A. Crockett '57, 1902A South Pacific St., Oceanside, Cal. Bob Day and Waltraud Hofer were married in Goeppingen, Germany, August 15. In Washington, Pamela Caroline was born to Larry and Leah Kimball '56 Scott, September 5. In the last column I neglected to say that Bare and Muriel Hopkins '56 Beam were also on hand for the wedding of Bob Gerhardt and Jean Alexander in Bala-Cynwyd, Pa., September 12. Bare, after collecting the Master's at Michigan State, has put in a six months' tour in the Army and is, at the moment, job-hunting. Likewise there was Bob Attiyeh '55, out of the Navy and on to Harvard Business School, convinced that a Volkswagen can outrun an MG. He'll learn. '57 Men: David S. Nye 12 Kimball Road Poughkeepsie, N.Y. A little late for those of you who may have made the Saguenay Cruise this year, but keep it in mind for next season: Lionel Barriere is supervisor of personnel, paper division, Price Brothers & Co., Ltd., Kenogami (near Bagotville, turning point of the cruise), Canada. News in Brief: Deborah Anne, 6 Ibs. 5 oz., born to Fred Hahn and wife Trudy in New York; Myron Aranson, 6516 Del Norte Lane, Dallas 25, law student at SMU; Lieutenant Richard Pereson, 204 W. South St., Warrensburg, Mo., with the Strategic Air Command; Carl D. Nelson, RD4, James4 town, in veterinary practice; Wallace Mintz, 1575 Odell St., Bronx 62, pfc. in Columbus, Ohio and engaged to a Columbus girl; Harvey Lyndaker, 1204 West Ave., Medina, 148 teacher of vocational agriculture and wrestling coach; Phil Kneen, 7201 Old Harford Rd., Baltimore, Md., engineer with Whiting Turner Construction Co. Roger Fisher is continuing graduate work at Princeton, and has been appointed instructor in the department of chemical engineering. Dave Gessford (out of the service in August) and Sandra Bale '59 were married in August. At that time Dave expected to start graduate work at Michigan State this fall. Dick Gross is back in civilian life and a student at the Wharton School of Business. His first year of Navy service was spent aboard the destroyer Ault. During the second year, he toured Morocco and Europe while stationed at NAS Port Lyautey, Morocco. David Hirsch, 1097 Amherst St., Buffalo 16, graduated from Harvard Business School in June, toured Europe for ten weeks, and has just started a six-month hitch with the Army. Ralph Howell is either well on his way to the MS in Education at Cornell or perhaps has received it by now, and is teaching high school science at Iroquois Central School near East Aurora. Peter Klein, 87 Evergreen Ave., Hartford, Conn, is working for Standard Paper Co., and was married in August to Carol Aaren of West Hartford. A Classmate attended the wedding, but darned if I can read the writing. Don McDermott, 268 Foster Ave., Sayville, started work with the dairy tech. dept. of the National Dairies Research Laboratory at Oakdale. He will be working "in the ice cream group on flavors, problems concerning the manufacture of ice cream products, and the development of new products that are ice cream or considered frozen desserts by nature." On that happy note, we will close for the month. See you at the Yale game. '57 Women: Diane Heasley Punahou School Honolulu 14, Hawaii Word had it that Kitty Lake was here this summer but that was only rumor. I got East and made Betty Ann Rice's wedding to Kevin Keene, June 28, in Binghamton. It was a small Cornell Reunion. Betty Ann and Kev will be taking over Mimi (Hester) and Bob Ridgley's ['56] old apartment at 9 Ware, Cambridge. Also in Cambridge as a new bride will be Sue Westin Pew and husband Dick '55. They were married in Scarsdale August 8. Judy Lund was also married in Washington to Barton Biggs in June and they are now living in the Capitol city. Nancy Mcllroy and Werner Neupert were married in Ithaca, August 1, and then headed west to their present home in Santa Barbara. Carol Asen Snitzer and husband Herb sent out a delightful photograph to announce their new addition, Werner, who arrived June 20. They are back in New York City at 165 W. 83d Street. Also Sue Aaron Triedman and hubby write from 234 Wayland Ave., Providence, R.I., that they have a new addition Steven who arrived in January. They have a new house and are most excited about it. July 21, Paul Palminter arrived to Tony and Lucy Suttmeier Palminter. Paul's parents are stationed in Atlanta, where Tony is with the Army. They live at 1638 McCleeland Ave., East Point, Ga. Pat Bressler, 80 Greenleaf Hill, Great Neck, has received the MA at Columbia's teacher's college and is teaching on Long Island this fall. Cynthia Mandelstam also received the MA this summer, at University of Minnesota. '58 Women: Patricia K. Malcolm 415 East 85th St. New York 28, N.Y. Mrs. Eli Shuter (Rennί Bertenthal) and her regional and area chairmen deserve lots of credit for the fine work they did on this year's Cornell Fund drive. The regional chairmen were Betty Fong, Eleanor "Eg" Wight, Anita Podell, Barbara Wood, Mary Thornton Carr, Benny Butler, A. J. Schuler, Joan Bleckwell McHugh, Georgia Watson, and Carolyn Bean. In the forthcoming drive let's try to better our dollar goal of $935 and our donor goal of 129. This year's total was $632 donated by 118 Classmates. Marilyn Harper and Raymond Labell, Grad '58, were married May 2 and now live at 46 Nathan Hale Drive, Huntington. Ray works for Grumman Aircraft. Beverly Blau and Melvyn Miller were married September 20 and now reside at 124 Davey Street, Bloomfield, NJ. The Bennett Browns '57 (Ruth Lipson) have both a new son and a new address. The former arrived August 6 and has been named Marc Lawrence. All three Browns may be located at 3686 Gridley Road, Shaker Heights 22, Ohio. Fay Dole, Carolyn Kislo, and Virginia Davis, all June Nursing graduates, have set up housekeeping in a roomy apartment at 354 East 78th Street, New York City. Fay is working at New York Hospital in the surgical department, and Carolyn and Ginny are in pediatrics. Yours truly also now has two Nursing School graduates for roommates. Lynn Clark, Margaret Clark, and I are the proud tenants of a new apartment at 415 East 85th Street. Lynn is working for the Visiting Nurse Service of New York; Margie is in pediatrics at New York Hospital; and I'm now working regular hours for Thomson Electric Co., Inc. as a purchasing agent. I've seen Betty Anne Steer on the bus several mornings on our way to work. She lives at 8 East 68th Street, New York, and is doing case work for the Children's Aid Society in the foster home department. She works with neglected, abandoned, and delinquent children in foster homes. This fall she is also taking courses at the School of Social Work, Columbia University. A familiar plea, but please send me news! '58 PhD—Emily M. Horrington received one of ten world wide awards from Ciba Foundation for "outstanding research on old age." She teaches nutrition at Southern University, Baton Rouge, La. '59 Men: Howard B. Myers 308 Mercer Street New Castle, Pa. If you missed my byline in the last issue of the ALUMNI NEWS, it was only in the flurry of excitement that preceeded my wedding. September 12, the former Ruth Adams became Mrs. Myers and this enabled me to get back down to the business of writing this column. With these matters settled, I am Cornell Alumni News anxiously awaiting much mail concerning those men of '59 who have yet to report to the above address. One of them has a messenger in Lex Pincus who writes that Margann Frantzen '59 and Robert Dodge III were married July 25, in San Diego, where Bob was temporarily stationed as an ensign in the Navy. They have no address as yet but it will be published as soon as we receive it. Other weddings this summer included that of Ann L. Tudi and Vincent R. Gatto in Ithaca June 13. The Gattos will make their home in Akron, Ohio, where Vince, former hockey and football player is with General Tire & Rubber Co. Rich Marks was head usher at the wedding and reportedly did a bang-up job despite a heavy hangover. Nancy Louise Skinner became Mrs. L. Grey Perry, June 15, also in Ithaca. Chet Haab recently got wed himself; Charlie Carpenter, Bob Dann, and Frank Mead all were in attendance, and Frank is still bemoaning the fact that the architects have so much work to do. Grey has by this time already begun his studies at Cornell Med College joining Lou Jordan, Jim Coatsworth, Rick Ehrlich, Don Wallens, Lee Ferguson, and a few others whose names have slipped my feeble mind. Good luck to all of you future medics. Not everyone has marital intentions. Some members of our Class have secured fruitful employment in giant industrial concerns, men such as Robert H. Burnham, Glenn C. Smith, and Jerry Langdon. Bob is an architect with the firm of Mager- fleisch & Burnham, Fort Collins, Colo. Glenn has been accepted in the service cen- ter department of Eastern States Farmers Exchange, and Jerry is a full-time reporter with the Ithaca Journal. No doubt all are stashing money way by the bucketful. Another hard worker, Mark Martin, was appointed a geneticist with the crops research division of the US Department of Agriculture, with headquarters at Logan, Utah. Among those slated for two-year tours of active duty are Alan Yehle and Robert Phelps of Syracuse, Lawrence Mitchell and George Willis of Ithaca, and Frederick C. Haab of Bryn Mawr, Pa. Many others are now serving their six-month stints with somewhat more enthusiasm since discharge day is not too far off. Don Katz and Tom Meier are somewhere in Virginia at a military outpost and the last word from Ken Riskind was that he was about to re-enlist for a two-year tour of duty with an airborne division. In case anyone returns this fall, and it might not be a bad idea, look up Bill Taber at the Hotel School. Bill is beverage manager at the Statler Club and since his marriage in June to the former Mary K. Clarey '59, he's been giving out free beers to some of his cronies. Noel A. Smith is a management trainee for GLF at Amsterdam, and Harry J. Loberg has been appointed a representative of Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Co. and selected for the company's sales management training program. Harry Peter Gould and Joyce Sekellik Gould '59 write that they were married March 28, and spent the rest of the spring term out on Cayuga Lake after a Bermuda honeymoon. They live at 195 Willoughby Ave., Apt. 118,Brooklyn 5, and Harry's a security analyst trainee with Grace National Bank.
