XXIV, No. 33 ITHACA, N. Y., MAY 25, 1922 PRICE 12 CENTS THE second annual Horse Show was held on Upper Alumni Field on May 20, and furnished many thrills to the spectators. Beside the usual events of a gymkhana such as an obstacle race, potato race, Roman race, and the like, the student body was treated to the first real polo game ever seen in Ithaca, the varsity losing to the Lake Shore Hunt Club of Buffalo by a score of 3 to 2. Stunt contests included a tug of war, a lacrosse game on mounts, and a mounted saber contest. Enthusiasts were especially interested in the women's saddle class and the various classes of horses entered for prizes. The popularity of the Horse Show bids fair to make this one of Cornell's traditionary spring events. ELECTIONS TO ALEPH SAMACH, junior society, are as follows: John M.

THE LAW LIBRARY of the late Benno Levy, valued at $70,000 and willed to Cornell, Johns Hopkins, and the University of California, has so materially depreciated in value, according to the executor of the estate, while the beneficiaries are deciding to accept the gift, that he has obtained a court order to show why the books should not be sold before further shrinkage takes place. The executor places the present value of the library at $3,081. GIOVANNI MARTINELLI, assisted by Miss Laura Robertson of the Metropolitan Opera Company, appeared at Bailey Hall May 16 in the last concert to be given this year under the auspices of the Department of Music. Duets and solos by both artists richly deserved the enthusiastic applause that was accorded them. 386 C O R N E L L A L U M N I N E W S Professor Shearer Dies Was Famous X-Ray Specialist and Long a Member of Faculty John Sandford Shearer, roentgenologist, physicist, educator, scientist, author, and for the past twenty years a prominent member of the University Faculty, died at two o'clock on the morning of May 17 at the City Hospital. In poor health for the past six weeks, during the greater portion of which time he had been at the Clifton Springs Sanitarium, an operation for removal of the gall bladder was performed on him at the City Hospital on May 15 in an effort to relieve his condition. He failed to rally from the effects of the operation and his death was attributed to acute dilatation of the heart. Professor Shearer was born in New York on October 20, 1865. He studied at the Cazenovia Seminary and after some years of teaching entered Cornell in the fall of 1889, graduating B.S. in 1893 and winning election to Sigma Xi. From 1893 to 1902 he was an instructor in physics and from 1902 to 1909 an assistant professor of physics at Cornell. In 1909-10 he taught physics as a professor in Columbia, returning to Cornell in 1910 with the same rank. Following his graduation Shearer divided his interests between physics and mathematics, devoting much attention to the latter. Later, however, he concentrated his attention on the study of x-rays and subsequently developed the x-ray course for medical students. At the outbreak of the War he was called upon by the Government to take charge of all x-ray work and its application to medical use in the Army. He was commissioned a major in the Sanitary Corps and was stationed for one year at the School of Military Roentgenology at the Cornell Medical College in New York. In 1918, he went abroad where he continued in charge of all x-ray work in the field and base hospitals of the Army. Because of the large number of American wounded remaining in hospitals overseas, he remained in France until the summer of 1919. He also spent some time with the Army of Occupation in Germany. In recognition of his services in perfecting the x-ray for medical use in the Army, he was promoted to be lieutenant-colonel and received three medals, one of which was the French Medal of Honor. On resuming his duties as a member of the Faculty, Shearer continued his studies of x-ray physics. He was also engaged in developing improved hospital x-ray apparatus for the Army and \γas the author of many papers in the field of x-ray physics, on which he was regarded as a leading authority. He was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the American Physical Society and of the Rotary and Town and Gown Clubs. For some years he was president of the Cornell Cooperative Society. He published "Notes and Questions on Physics" (1900) and "Lecture Outlines and Notes" (1906), in addition to various articles and notes. On June 20, 1888, he married Minnie Lee, of Cuyler, N. Y., who died in January. Three sons survive him: Lee Ceylon Ί6, now of Buenos Aires, and twins, Harold Milton '21 and Howard John '21, both of Ithaca. At the funeral on May 19 the Rev. Henry P. Horton, rector of St. John's Church, officiated. Interment was made in East Lawn Cemetery.

Sir Auckland Geddes Here Ambassador Addresses Special Convocation and British-American Club Sir Auckland Geddes, the British Ambassador to the United States, was speaker at a special convocation at the University on Monday noon, May 22, the distinguished guest having come to Ithaca at the instance of the Cornell British-American Club as guest of honor and speaker on the occasion of the Club's annual formal banquet. In his convocation talk, Sir Auckland addressed himself to the especial problems which the world faces, which it will be in the province of college men and women to solve. He discussed at length the need for a settling of the economic disturbance that has made itself felt throughout the world and pointed out the inseparable connection between the economic interdependence between nations and their political interdependence. The British Ambassador was of the opinion that at no time in the history of the United States have relations between England and the United States been so friendly and so free from possibility of misunderstanding as at the present. This did not mean, however, in his opinion, that the two countries were not facing serious problems, arising, as he said, not between the two nations, but in connection with other peoples. Sir Auckland said the greatest hope of preventing the growing of national misunderstandings and breaches of faith between governments was based on the building up of an educated public which would be able and willing to follow through logical processes that would render impossible the retention of erroneous impressions based on vision through "tinted glasses" and based on a "jingle of words" which lacked any element of truth. The British Ambassador was the guest of President and Mrs. Farrand during his stay in Ithaca. On Monday evening he spoke at the banquet of the BritishAmerican Club, at which he praised the spirit in which the club carried on its work of creating good will between the two great English speaking peoples. Such organizations, he said, were largely responsible for a continuance of friendly relations between the countries. THE TAMING OF THE SHREW The Women's Dramatic Club staged a a complete success at the Lyceum on May 13 when they presented "The Taming of the Shrew'7 before one of the most appreciative audiences of the year. The actresses, admirably trained by Prof. Martin W. Sampson, handled their difficult parts with amazing ease, and time and again were called back to the stage. The presentation of this drama gives to the organization a distinction for acting CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS 387 which rivals or excels that done by the Masque and Dramatic Club actors. The cast as a whole performed well above the average, but in particular three actresses stand out. Miss Elizabeth Pratt '22, as Petruchio, the tamer, Miss Jessie Wood '22, as Katherine, the tamed, and Miss Alice Burchfield '22, as Bianca, the likable young sister, played leading roles and acted with all the ease of professionals. Much credit is due Professor Sampson and Miss Edith Severance '23 for coaching the play. Much pleasure was afforded the audience by the playing of the Elizabethan orchestra, composed of mandolin players whose medieval airs, under the'direction of Professor Joseph Q. Adams and Miss Gertrude Nye, lent a distinctly Shakespearean atmosphere to the play. PITTSBURGH WOMEN ELECT At a recent meeting of the Cornell Alumnae Club of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, held at the home of Miss Marion Armstrong, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: president, Mrs. Charles A. Carpenter (Margaret VanDeusen) '09; vice-president, Mrs. H. L. Chapman (Mathilde C. Meyer) '05; secretary, Marion Armstrong '07; treasurer, Mrs. P. H. Curry (Cecilia B. O'Neill) '98. ATLANTA CORNELLIANS MEET In connection with the visit of Dean Dexter S. Kimball to Atlanta, Georgia, on May 8 and 9, where as president he presided at the semi-annual spring meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, twenty Cornellians in that section of the state entertained him at luncheon. The meeting was held on May 8 at the Druid Hil's Golf Club, and it marked the first gathering of Cornell in Atlanta for a long period. 1912 NEW YORKERS PLAN REUNION Those members of the class of 1912 resi- dent in and about New York foregathered at the Cornell Club on the evening of Wednesday, May 4, to perfect plans for their participation in the ten-year reunion in June. About thirty men partook of dinner together in the grill room and later adjourned to the upstairs dining-room, where they were joined by some twenty additional roysterers. Alderman Walt Kuhn of Brooklyn, in addition to securing genuine old-fashioned smoker refreshments for the occasion, regaled the asemblage with a magnificent forensic effort of such record-shattering length that Jic Clarke, chairman of the committee, was obliged to squelch him forcibly in order to give three talented African musicians, who had been engaged at great expense, a chance to earn their pay. The large turn-out for this smoker presages a very full New York delegation to Ithaca in June. SPORT STUFF This is becoming a pleasant place for reunions. The whole world is green and covered with flowers. You can see off forever over the hills and everything smells clean and fresh. There is a particular bit of lawn reserved for you under the trees in front of Morrill and everyone in Ithaca will be down to meet you. Better come. At Derby on Saturday John Hoyle introduced to society a mighty likely looking crew. For a half mile it rowed very fast and then finding its immediate surroundings were cramped and stuffy it rowed a lot faster and went out by itself where it stayed for the rest of the party. There will be a boat race at Poughkeepsie and not just a water carnival. Elsewhere in this paper are full directions as to how one goes about getting tickets on the Observation Train. At New Haven on the same day the Yale and Cornell nines staged a perfect example of college baseball. There was a little of everything including brilliant stops followed by long throws over the grand stands, home runs and one-hand catches. Two outs! A base on balls! An error! A dead ball! Moriarity up! Three balls and two strikes! Powϋ Almost everyone on both teams was given an opportunity to pitch. At the end, however, Cornell was leading by three runs and Yale by two pitchers. And when the same teams meet again here at Ithaca on Spring Day they'll probably play errorless, air tight ball with the final score i to o. Better come. R. B. R. O. T. C. INSPECTION Under the eyes of the War Department inspection board and Major General W. J. Snow, chief of field artillery units in the country, members of the Cornell R. O. T. C. on Thursday and Friday, May 10 and 11 exhibited their prowess in tent pitching, artillery drill, infantry close and extended order work, and signal corps practice. This year the local unit WFS inspected by Major J. J. Gerhardt of the infantry, Major J. E. McMahon of the Field Artillery, Major W. H. Carpenter of the Second Corps area and Major W. C. Potter, while Major General Snow is making a special visit to the local institution. The visiting officers were made honorary members of Scabbard and Blade at a recent special meeting and also took part in the awarding on May 7 of the Colonel Frank A. Barton Loving Aup,presented by Mrs. Barton in memory of her husband, to Rollin H. McCarthy '22, of Cortland, as having been the cadet of highest military quality for the past j^ear. They also gave the President Schurman Medal for the best drilled cadet to E. S. Ovenshine '25, of San Antonio, Texas. On May π the local unit engaged in field maneuvers near Hungerford Hill, the unit of nearly 1,500 men being divided into an attacking party of about 1,000 and a defense group of about 500 men. The Officers' Club entertained the board of inspection at a banquet held in the Dutch Kitchen on May π, the last day of the inspection, a feature of which was a general discussion of the activities of the R. O. T. C. throughout the United States. President Farrand, Dean Hammond, Registrar David F. Hoy '91, and members of the visiting board addressed those present. NEW ENGLAND PAPER APPEARS The first issue of the Cornell Cone, a little publication with a pardonable pun, issued by the Cornell Club of New England, makes its bow with the issue of May, 1922. The four pages are full of news of the University and of the Club, with a detailed calendar of events between May and October. UTICA CLUB REORGANIZES At a recent meeting of Cornell alumni in Utica, the Cornell club of that city was reorganized. The new club will include women as well a^ men.

Parker '23, of Bath, won the annual contest for the '86 Memorial Prize, held in Barnes Hall on May 20, with his speech on "The Reason for Unrest." In a n n o u n c i n g their decision, reached only after half an hour's debate, the judges explained that they had given the prize to Barker not so much for the content of his speech as for the manner of its delivery. The speaker's hold upon his audience was noteworthy. The other contestants for the prize and their subjects were as follows: Alex Cracovaner '23, of New York, "Freedom of Speech;" Sidney A. Goldstein '24, of Brooklyn, "Character and Humanity;" Murray F. Johnson '23, of Woodside, "The Mission of American Colleges;" Herman Wolkinson '24, of Brooklyn, "The Individual's Part in Averting War;" Charles Cohen '24, of Brooklyn, "The Cost of War;" Roy C.

QUAKLES, Organist Grand Choeur Dialogue Eugene Gigout Invocation at the Sistine Chapel Franz Liszt Andante from "Concerto in G Minor" Mendelssohn Sheherazade Rimsky- Korsakoff Finale from Symphony I...Louis Vierne ATHLETICS Crews Do Well at Derby The Cornell varsity eight swept across the finish line on the Housatonic River at Derby, Connecticut, last Saturday, three and a half lengths ahead of Princeton and ten in front of Yale in one of the most impressive victories of recent years. Rowing with perfect rhythm, power a-plenty, confidence, and assurance, the Cornell eight took command of the race after the first few hundred yards and from that time forward there was never any doubt as to the outcome. The varsity literally rowed both of its opponents down in the early stages of the battle, and then dropping its stroke to a measured, powerful thirty-two, held and gradually increased its advantage all the way down to the finish. Princeton challenged in the last half mile, was met and beaten off without raising the stroke, the crew just "digging in a bit harder," giving them "a few" tens and that was all that was needed. The race, the first of the season for the Cornell crew, opened with the varsity an "unknown quantity." It ended with Cornell's prestige on the water amply vindicated, the crew recognized everywhere as a formidable candidate for the season's rowing honors. But here at home Coach Hoyle, the rowing committee, and all others directly interested in the sport are content to characterize this eight, on its showing so far, as a "good Cornell crew." The freshman eight was not so fortunate at Derby as the varsity; but its showing cannot be said to have been disappointing. The yearlings rowed rather better than had been hoped because in practice they had never attained the standard set by freshman eights of the recent past. The youngsters were beaten by the Princeton yearlings by about a length. The shell was badly steered which cost much distance and a good deal of energy, and contributed not a little to Number Four's catching a crab as the finish line approached. Even at that the crew rallied gamely and made a fighting finish of it with the Princeton crew just about a length ahead. In the varsity race all three crews got away at a high beat, Yale having perhaps a shade the better of the start for a hundred feet or so. But Cornell soon drew ahead, never to be headed. By the quarter mile the Red shell was a half length to the good and the beat had been dropped from thirty-eight to thirty-two. By the half mile the lead had been lengthened out to a length and by the time the crews reached the mile mark Cornell was two lengths to the good over Princeton with Yale a bad third and already out of the race. At every quarter mile Cornell improved its position without visible effort. The stroke still remained at thirty to thirtytwo, the old famous Courtney stroke, with a tremendous drive and fine form. The Cornell eight kept on swinging along, thirty to thirty-two a minute, and the most desperate efforts of the Tigers availed them nothing. Yale by this time was well back in the ruck. Coming into the last half mile, which on this tortuous course is the only real straightaway, Princeton called for a spurt, but it was vain. The Tigers were rowed out. They had been rowing three and four strokes higher than Cornell, but to no purpose. They put on all they had now, but in vain. Filius, Cornell's pacemaker, raised the beat a bit, finally reaching thirty-six and Cornell swept down across the finish line triumphantly, an easy winner. In the freshman race the stakeboats had been pulled from their moorings and Referee Meikleham ordered a flying start. Cornell shot away to a commanding position early in the game, but the tide and current swept Yale and Princeton together and two oars were broken. The race was then started from the point where it had been interrupted. The Tiger cubs went ahead and led for the first mile when Cornell drove by them and coming into the "stretch" was well ahead. In the last quarter mile bad steering and a crab by Number Four slowed up the Cornell yearling's shell and Princeton went by for a victory. Time in the varsity race: Cornell, 10 minutes, n seconds; Princeton, 10:25; Yale 10:42. (The river was practically calm at the time of the race, with little current. Cornell's time, therefore, is considered first rate). The freshman race time is of no value because the course was materially shortened. It was announced as follows: Princeton, 9:54; Cornell, 9:58; Yale, 10:13. The Cornell crews were boated as follows : Varsity: bow, C. F. Kells; 2, F. C. Baldwin; 3, C. N. Strong; 4, H. E. Luhrs; 5, W. L. Hearn; 6, E. V. Baker; 7, A. G. Baldwin; stroke, M. W. Filius; coxswain, B. J. Nicholson. Freshman: bow, L. W. Carpenter; 2, B. L. Hopes; 3, F. A. Bowen; 4, G. F. West; s; H. H.

Baseball Team Defeats Yale After losing to Harvard 13 to nothing at Cambridge last Wednesday, giving the poorest exhibition of the year, the baseball team showed a complete reversal of form at New Haven last Saturday and beat Yale in a free hitting game by the score of n to 8. On Tuesday Amherst was defeated at Amherst by the score of 7 to 4, so in the New England invasion on the whole, Cornell came out a little ahead. The Yale game, a curtain raiser to the regatta at Derby later in the afternoon, CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS 389 developed into the heaviest hitting game of the season at New Haven. Cornell bombarded pitchers Chittenden and Wight, driving them to cover, while Hickey, who finished for the Blue, fared little better. Hollo, who started for the Cornellians, had to retire under the fire of the Yale artillery, but Maloney, who succeeded him, pitched effectively, though wobbly at times. Cornell garnered twelve hits to Yale's seven, a home run and a triple by Fox and a triple by Woodin among them. Cornell scored in the second, Capron crossing the plate on Warren's error and Kaw's single. In the third, Fox's homer, Davies's pass, and singles by Frantz and Cowan, scored three more. Tone walked in the fourth, Woodin and Davies singled, and with Captain Aldrich's overthrow of first, three more Cornell runs came across. Yale registered three times in the third on Cowan's error of Kelly's hit, Chittenden's and OΉearn's passes, and Aldrich's two-bagger. Cowan negotiated a rousing double play in the sixth, clutching Eddy's sizzling bounder and retiring Kernan and Eddy. Warren's triple, followed by Kelly's and Wight's singles, Crane's pass, and OΉearn's two-bagger, netted three for Yale, and brought the Elis up abreast. Maloney replaced Rollo after Yale had done the batting damage in this inning. Davies scored in the seventh on Capron's single, Warren's overthrow of first, Cowan's hit and Kaw's single. Aldrich walked in the seventh and Ker- nan was safe, on Davies's muff. Warren singled, scoring Aldrich. Wight and Crane were passed, scoringKernan, but O'Hearn's grounder to Cowan closed the inning with Cornell still one run ahead. Triples by Woodin and Davies, and Fox's pass in the eighth, clinched the game for Cornell with two more tallies.

Break Even in Massachusetts At Cambridge last Wednesday the team went to pieces, playing way below the form it had been showing and Harvard won an easy victory by a score of 13 to o. The Crimson batters got to Rollo for fourteen hits, including a home run by Jenkins and two three-base hits by Owen. The Cornell twirler was effective for three innings, but in the fourth Harvard sent four runs across the plate, added three in the fifth, and made a farce of the game in the eighth by scoring six more. Russell allowed Cornell but six hits and was in- vincible with men on bases. Two sen- sational catches by Kaw were among the redeeming features for Cornell.

At Amherst on May 16, Cornell came up from behind to win by a score of 7 to 4. Amherst scored twice in the first inning but in the fourth Cornell hit Elliott hard for four hits and made four runs. In the seventh three more were added and al- though Amherst made a game effort in the ninth, Maloney stopped them in time. Maloney allowed but three hits, one of them however a home run by Douglass. Cornell hit Elliott safely 10 times, Tone driving out a two-bagger and Capron a three-base hit. Syracuse Wins Lacrosse The Syracuse lacrosse team beat Cornell at Syracuse Saturday by the score of 2 to o in an Intercollegiate League game, but only after a hard fought and sometimes brilliant battle. For nearly twothirds of the game the two teams fought evenly, neither being able to score. It was not until the second half was well along that Dickson scored for Syracuse. He also made the only remaining tally of the game. Syracuse and Hobart are now tied for the league leadership. The game between them may decide the championship. Athletic Notes The freshman track team defeated Syracuse freshmen in a meet on Schoellkopf Field Saturday by a score of 67 to 50. The Cornell youngsters scored seven firsts to six for the Orange and also did better in seconds and thirds. The Syracuse freshman baseball team, however, had the better of the Cornell yearlings, winning by the score of 4 to o. Spates of the Orange freshmen pitched a no hit game. The Syracuse freshman lacrosse team beat the Cornell yearlings by 5 to i, but at golf, played in Syracuse, the Cornell varsity tied the Orange 3 to 3. The Buffalo Hunts Club defeated the Cornell polo teams Saturday in the first outdoor match played in Ithaca by a score of 3 to 2. Michigan triumphed at tennis over the Varsity, 5 to i.

ITHACA, N. Y., MAY 25, 1922 REUNION PLAN ON TRIAL That the reunions this year, on June 16 and 17, will set a new record in numerical strength, is forecast by the returned notices received by the Alumni Representative. The credit for this very desirable result will belong in a large measure to the Alumni Representative himself, who is able, by devoting the time necessary for it, to achieve a greater degree of success than is possible for strictly amateur secretaries whose functioning depends altogether on the state of their regular jobs. It is a safe guess, also, that fewer alumni will return to Ithaca at Spring Day this year, there being no reunions scheduled on that day for the first time in years. As a consequence a more satisfactory reunion may be looked for in June from the inclusion of the younger classes. The newly adopted simultaneous class reunion plan will get its first try-out this year. The results of this plan cannot be foreseen. It is to be expected, however, that a class, reuning with its contemporaries each time, will develop a broader point of view toward Cornell. Perhaps the cozy little dinner of a single class held off in a little room by itself, will yield to the less provincial affair of four or five classes dining together and thinking of Cornell en masse. The climax of the reunion, the Saturday night rally, will be held under the auspices of the Fifteen Year Class for the last time. Unless future fifteeen year reunions are held in splendid isolation the privilege and work will probably fall on some other group. Logically, in the plan, the twenty-five year class will assume this function. These changes and others that may become necessary under the new conditions can obviously be worked out more satisfactorily with large reunions than with small. The response and the promise of good attendance this year is particularly fortunate for the success of the contemporary class group plan. American Union Grows Annual Report of Continental Division, A. U. U., Indicates Increasing Usefulness The annual report to member institutions of the Continental Division of the American University Union in Europe, dated at Paris, April, 1922, has just been received. The Union is controlled by some fifty of the more important American universities and colleges. It is recognized by the French Ministry of Public Instruction and by the rectors of the various French universities as the only organization directed by and in the service of America higher education as a whole. The American Embassy and Consulate, banks and business houses, educational institutions on both sides of the Atlantic, the French student who desires to study in America and the American who wishes to study in France—all refer to the Union as an official fount of information in matters educational. Its activities include the finding of positions for American students to teach English in French preparatory schools and to do other tutoring; arrangements for the exchange of French lessons for English; the directing of students who desire specific things to the universities where they can best procure them; maintaining a meeting place and clearing house for American students; giving the regular College Entrance Board examinations to Americans abroad; arranging informal lectures by French scholars for the benefit of American students, and causeries of a social nature to which French and American students alike are invited; and holding formal receptions at which American students may meet the rectors of the great French universities and the officials of the Ministry of Education. Other achievements have been the abolition of Latin and Greek from the list of subjects required for the licence and a special dispensation by virtue of which holders of American masters' degrees are relieved of taking the French licence before proceeding to the French state doctorate in the faculties of letters, law, or science. Quantitatively, the Union's growth has been considerable. During the year ending with the date of the report, 1,348 students were included in its records, 632 women and 716 men. These attended forty-nine French institutions of art or education, and represented 174 American colleges and forty-six States. These numbers are to be compared with the total of sixty-one students registered in Nomember, 1919, and 257 in June, 1920. The Union invites requests for information in educational matters from students going to France this summer. Its address is i Rue de Fleurus, Paris (VIme), France. OBITUARY Ernest A. Snow '73 Ernest Ansel Snow died at his home in High Point, N. C., on March 20, after a long illness. Mr. Snow was born in North Ferrisburg, Vt., on October 4, 1850, the son of Captain and Mrs. W. H. Snow. He entered Sibley College in 1869, remaining two years, and was a member of Kappa Delta, a sophomore society. The family moved to Greensboro, N. C., in 1869, and three years later went to High Point, where Captain Snow opened one of the first factories which started in North Carolina after the Civil War. Mr. Snow had made his home in High Point since that time, and was interested in many local enterprises. At the time of his death he was secretary and treasurer of the Snow Lumber Company, one of the largest and best known lumber companies in the State, On September 7, 1876, he married Miss Alice English of High Point. Five daughters, two sons, and a sister survive him. The funeral was held at the First Presbyterian Church in High Point, of which he was a member, and the burial was in charge of the Masons. The Knights Templar acted as an escort. George W. Wyckoff'01 George Warren Wyckoff of Elmira died on May 9 in the George Washington University Hospital, Washington, D. C. He had undergone a serious operation two weeks before, from which he rallied, but he suffered a relapse on May 4, which resulted in his death. He was born in Elmira on March 2,1877, a son of George W. and Sibyl Wyckoff, and after attending the Elmira schools, he entered Cornell in 1897, in the course in agriculture, but remained only a few months, leaving because of ill health. In spite of his short attendance, however, he was a very well known and popular CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS 391 member of his class. He was a member of Kappa Alpha, After leaving Cornell, he entered the office of the A. Wyckoff and Son Company, manufacturers of wood water pipe, becoming- its president in 1905, and holding that position until the time of his death. His brother, the late Ferdinand V. Wyckoff Όi, was associated with him in that business, and together they developed it into one of the leading industries in the city. In 1900 he was city clerk, and in 1909 he was a candidate for mayor on the Republican ticket, but was defeated. He was president of the Wyckoff Realty Company and a trustee of the estate of his grandfather, the late Arcalous Wyckoff, a director of the Second National Bank, a trustee of the Elmira Savings Bank, president of the Elmira Golf and Country Club, a member of the City Club, and a communicant o f T r i n i t y Episcopal Church. During the war he was an active worker for the War Chest Fund, a speaker for the Liberty Loan campaigns, and a member of various committees. Mr. Wykcoff was married in 1905 to Miss Eleanor D. Silsbee, daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. Henry C. Silsbee of Elmira. She survives him with three sons, G. Warren, Silsbee, and Clinton. He leaves also his mother, Mrs. Sibyl Wyckoff, and two brothers, A. λVelling Wyckoff '96 and Clinton R. Wyckoff '96. He was a cousin of Mrs. Frank E. Upson (Florence Wyckoff Ίi).

'14. Indianapolis. The Bobbs-Merrill Company. 1922. 8vo, pp. xiv, 299. Price, $2.50 net. In style this book leaves something to be desired. The writer is properly solicitous that the salesman shall be a master of simple and effective English; his own training in this field should have been extended, "Deeper" as an adverb (p. vii, 1. 3 f. b.) will be found in the dictionary, but is not good usage today. "Will" and ''would" are frequently used where "shall" and "should" are required. It is barbarous to speak of "a fewer number" (p. 10, i. f. b.) On p. 3 the author says: "No matter what may be the branch of selling under consideration, we have four very apparent angles from which the subject must be analyzed and improved." The use of "angle" for "point of view" is objectionable; and the writer seems to mean that from four points of view the subjects must be anatyzed and selling methods improved. On p. 142 the author asks, "What is some of this important data?" He should read up on "'data." The possessive of Phillips is Phillips's (p. 17, 1. 6 f. b.); the proofreader should have caught this. On p. 117 the author says: "We can not have too many articles of different kinds in the display window, show too many ladies' suits at the same time and get the value of their distinctiveness; have too many words in the head-lines." This sentence is ambiguous as a whole, as is also the phrase "too many ladies' suits." P. 129: "Desire is effected by environment and circumstances." What does this mean? Clearly this manuscript should have been revised. In subject matter, however, the book is good and is to be commended. Every phase of the selling problem has received careful and thoughtful consideration. The author has sensible and up-to-date ideas. His ethical standards are of the best. For example, he advocates a large measure of cooperation among the sellers in a given region or of a given commodity, rather than cutthroat competition. This is of course the ideal of the modern business world, but there are too many who are still living in the Middle Ages. He emphasizes too, the necessity of having an honest product to sell, and of having one price to all. The seven chapters deal with The Seller, The Buyer, Making the Sale, The Sales Department, The Sales Letter, Selling at Retail, end A Knowledge of the Fundamentals of Advertising Makes Better Salesmen. On one point we desire to protest not alone against the recommendation of Mr. Hoenig but also against much of modern usage. The successful advertiser, he says will take advantage of "the ingenious method including unusual spelling, newly coined words and expressions, verse, etc." Now too often the unusual spelling is a misspelling, like "Kut Rite," "gotta" for "got to," "gonna" for "going to." Many persons who would be horrified by too much use of simplified spelling will make free use of all sorts of abominable misspellings, and will then wonder why their boys and girls at school do not learn to spell correctly. Possibly a few more illustrations and samples of successful form letters and advertisements would have helped tυ drive home the assertions made in the text. But as it stands the book is a good one and should clo much toward elevating the business of selling into a dignified and self respecting occupation.

CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS THE AIRY, HAIRY AGE WHEN THE SENIOR TUCKED HIS WHISKERS UNDERNEATH THE QUILT AT NIGHT Forty years ago many of the college men were inclined to let Nature take her course. The "stude" who posed for this picture was perfectly serious about it, as his countenance indicates. He was a member of the rowing crew at one of the leading universities. We might give you his name, if it were not for the possibility of hurting the feelings of his children. It is not out of place, however, to say that the crew to which he belonged carried off a championship in the 70's, or late Dundreary period. Some of his fellow oarsmen had whiskers that were no less fantastic than his. The wind certainly had cause to whistle when those boys were out for practice. Facial foliage was not altogether inexcusable when undergraduates, baseball players, and even actors avoided the use of the razor, or shaved only in spots. In those days shaving was difficult and painful. There was nothing then like Colgate's Rapid-Shave Cream with which to work up a quick, softening, fragrant lather. You will be delighted when you try this recently perfected Colgate product. Not until you have used it will you be able to realize how good a shaving cream can be. Colgate's Rapid-Shave Cream is not "just another shaving cream," but an ENTIRELY NEW shaving-cream—made on a new principle. It takes the smart out of shaving, and puts it in your appearance. Try it! Let it make your morning shave easier, quicker, more satisfactory in every way. It leaves the face feeling like velvet. COLGATE 8ί CO.

ANY KIND OF COMMERCIAL PRINTING 8 Pictorial Section of Cornell Alumni News One of many fastness tests THE possibilities of coal-tar are not yet exhausted; there are still in the unrevealed crypts of Nature unsuspected possibilities of even greater importance and usefulness than those which have been uncovered. The chemical student at college, and the more advanced investigator who has already passed out into the ranks of commercial activity have still fields of accomplishment before them which are well worth the earnest and enthusiastic attention of those who desire to serve mankind, and leave a lasting monument to their own ability. It is in the hands of our chemists that the welfare and contentment of the people chiefly rest. New York Boston Chicago Hartford Charlotte Montreal Toronto Philadelphia Providence San Francisco
