I I ITHACA, NEW YORK, DECEMBER 5, I94O PRICE, 15 CENTS PRESENT "CO-EDIQUETTE" On Musical Clubs Trip An original operetta, "Co-edίquette," by Richard H. Lee '41 will be presented by the Musical Clubs the three days after Christmas for Cornellians and their guests in New England, suburban New Jersey, and Washington, D. C. Cornell Club of Western Massachusetts sponsors a performance December 2.6 in the auditorium of Technical High School, Springfield, with a dance following. December 2.7, the Clubs will play at Columbia High School, Maple wood, N. J., under sponsorship of the Cornell Club of Essex County and the Lackawanna Cornell Club, with a dance and reception afterward at the Maplewood Country Club. The tour will close with a performance December 2.8 at the Shoreham Hotel, Washington, D. C , and a dance given by the Cornell Club of Washington. "Co-ediquette" deals, in the tradition of Gilbert and Sullivan, with a dilemma faced by the Cornell Faculty because of " t o o many co-eds" on the Campus. The scene is a Faculty meeting, with Gilbert H. Cobb '41, tenor soloist, presiding as Dean of the Faculty. Up for consideration is the serious problem that too many men are "busting out" of the University. In song and action, it is decided that co-eds are the reason, and the obvious proposal is made that women should be abolished. It appears, however, that Cornell cannot do without co-eds, and the solution of the dilemma is finally worked out in typical Faculty manner to the satisfaction of all. Lee, the author and composer of the operetta, wrote " I n the Red and the White," which was the title song of the Musical Clubs show last year and has been one of the most popular of the recordings recently made by the Glee Club for the Alumni Association. He is the son of Cazenove G. Lee, Jr. '07 of Washington, is a University Chimemaster, sings bass in the Glee Club and its Senior Quartet, and plays the accordion. He won the C in soccer, is a member of Siσma Phi, Savage Club, and Quill and Dagger. Reservations for the Springfield show and dance are in charge of Frank H. Briggs '34, 12.00 Main Street, and Peter Ham *z6, 310 State Street. Chairman of the New Jersey Club committee is William W. Sproul '18, 375 Berkeley Road, Orange, N. J. Cazenove G. Lee, Jr. '07, 3542. Newark Street, N.W., Washington, D. C , is in charge of arrangements in that city. Apropos of the Musical Clubs' Christmas trip is an amusing experience which resulted from a similar trip nearly fifty years ago. It is recounted by Spencer L. Adams '93, former manager of the Glee, Banjo, and Mandolin Clubs, in a letter to George L. Coleman '95 responding to Coleman's request for material for a history of the early days of Cornell musical organizations which he is com- piling. Adams writes as follows: As we were both in college at the same time, you may recall that I was manager of theGlee, Banjo and Mandolin Clubs in 1893. As requested through the ALUMNI NEWS, I am sending pictures of the Clubs, together with a program of the Senior Concert. I have also this anecdote to relate in connection therewith: While I was manager I had secured an attractive sepia poster to advertise the Clubs' concerts which extended as far west as Milwaukee, St. Paul, and Duluth, and in the east to New York City. This poster was made by a well-known lithographing concern of Buffalo, and being one of the first sepia prints ever made, it elicited much favorable comment. From its wide distribution one of these posters must have fallen into the hands of Ringling Bros. Circus which had its winter quarters in Barabos, Wis. For, to my great astonishment, a year or so later in picking up a circus folder of Ringling Bros. I discovered motyheorwmnepmicbteurrseoifntihtye together with four or five Clubs. We were classified among leading acrobatic performers and trapeze artists. I recall that my name was given as Charley Comers and as such I had my first and only chance at fame throughout the United States. The explanation of what might otherwise appear amazing was the simple fact that the poster had never been copyrighted and the management of the circus, employing the same lithographer in Buffalo as I had and, doubtless running short of material, had in collusion with the superintendent of the plant, calmly inserted our portraits, taken from our attractive college poster, in the circus folder. When this circular was again distributed throughout the country a second year, I deemed it no longer a joke, and found from investigation that the unauthorized use of our portraits being in nowise deforming (but quite the contrary) and not being forbidden by any statutes at that time, no huge sum in damages could be secured in compensation to which we were justly entitled. But I succeeded in stopping the further use of our portraits and curtailing our fame as acrobats and trapeze performers. I am wondering, my dear Coleman, whether any other Cornellians have ever had such careers for which no course in the University had fitted them. As a matter of fact, I spent forty years as a Chicago lawyer and, retiring in 1935 to my ancestral home, I am now quietly enjoying my "fame" which grew out of my connection with the Musical Clubs. MANILA GETS HOT Cornell Club of the Philippine Islands met at the Manila Hotel November 5, with a showing of football and Campus motion pictures sent from Ithaca. Manuel I. Felizardo, Grad '2.7-8, and Gonzalo T. Abaya '2.6 were in charge of arrangements. Notice of the meeting was headed, . "Red Hot News," and printed on paper that had been scorched around the edges. WILLARD STRAIGHT HALL Serves Campus Needs Fifteenth annual report of the Director of Willard Straight Hall, Foster M. Coffin Ί x , to the board of governors indicates that the building is increasingly the center of Campus activity. Its social and cultural program, carried on largely by undergraduates through the board of managers and twenty-one committees, is effective student government. This year, Coffin reports, more than 350 students are actively directing the program of the Hall. Organized into committees of varying size according to their responsibilities, they make plans and carry out its activities, under supervision of the board of managers and with the assistance of Coffin, Cecelia Werner, social director, and Edgar A. Whiting '2.9, assistant director. During the year which ended last June, meeting rooms of the Hall were reserved for 2^937 meetings, compared with the high record of the previous year, 2.^1-L. More than 1,000 persons a week used the Hall's library for recreational reading, which now numbers 1,52.2. volumes, in charge of Barbara L. Kirby '34 assisted by a student committee. New activities last year included the organization of undergraduate women who live in Ithaca or work in Ithaca homes for room and board, with a social program directed by a committee of students. Another development was the formation of a hostess committee of twenty women —one from each sorority and dormitory unit—to welcome guests to the Hall, provide flowers and'' to help to personalize a large and somewhat impersonal University." Staff of the Hall numbers 137 full-time employees and ninety-eight students. Thirty-four women and thirty men undergraduates earned their meals working in the Willard Straight dining department. Cocoa-cola sales at the soda bar reached a new high of 178,816 last year; sale of beer decreased slightly at 2.8,488 cans. Average meal check was n cents for breakfast, X9 3 cents for luncheon, 37.5 cents for dinner. This year, Willard Straight Hall board of managers takes over entire responsibility for operation of the Johnny Parson Club on Beebe Lake. Since 1937, service of food at the Club has been in charge of the Willard Straight dining department under Milton R. Shaw '34, and a committee of the board of managers has directed the social program, by arrangement with the Athletic Association which owns the building. Now the Athletic Association turns the building over entirely to Willard Straight Hall. 146 CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS Robert L. Bartholomew '41 of Moorestown, N. J., is chairman of the board of managers this year, with Marne Obernauer '41 of Pittsburgh, Pa., secretary. Other undergraduate members, elected by all students, are Elizabeth K. Emery '41 of Rochester, Shirley A. Richards '41 of Staten Island, Howard S. Freeman '41 of Brooklyn, Timothy G. Henderson '41 of Natal, South Africa, Edward H. Mandel '41 of Brooklyn, Reed Seely '41 of Waverly, Elizabeth M. McCabe yΔp. of Brookline, Mass., and Paul W. Leighton '41 of Twin Falls, Idaho. Faculty members are Professors Walter B. Carver, Mathematics, A. Wright Gibson '17, Director of Resident Instruction, Agriculture, and Paul M. O'Leary, PhD ^ 9 , Economics. Alumnus member is Howard A. Stevenson '19. All students in the University are members of Willard Straight Hall, paying membership fee of $5 a term. Faculty and resident alumni become members upon payment of $5 a year, and non-resident alumni membership, giving priority in reserving rooms at the Hall, is $3 a year. Willard Straight Hall is entirely selfsupporting, having no endowment or subsidy from the University. Complete statement of its financial operation is published annually in the University Treasurer's Report.

J., and Raymond Jenkins '41 of Philadelphia reported for practice after the football season. The squad, headed by Captain Wellington L. Ramsey '41 of Haverford, Pa., has been practicing under Coach Blair Gullion for more than a month for the opening game with Alfred December 7. Other veterans available are James E. Bennett, Jr., '41 of Poland, Ohio, and Kenneth N. Jolly '41 of Ithaca, supported by Frank K. Burgess '41 of Aurora, 111., George W. Bouton '41 of Ithaca and Charles W. Jack '42. of Rochester. Only Varsity regular lost by graduation was Captain Alan W. Vaughan '40. Sophomores are William D. Stewart, Jr., of Edgewood, Pa., Robert J. Roshirt of Detroit, Mich., Samuel W. Hunter of Staten Island, Hugh N. Bennett, brother of James, Theodore G. Brown, Jr., of Manchester, Conn., Howard A. Parker, Jr., of Tulsa, Okla., and John F. Harper of Milwaukee, Wis. Hugh Bennett's twin brother, George, who played on the Freshman team last year, has entered the US Naval Academy. The three Bennetts are sons of James E. Bennett Ί i , himself a former basketball captain. Several combinations have been put together in practice. One team lists James Bennett and Stewart, forwards; Hunter, center, and Jolly and Burgess, guards. Another combination includes the same forwards, with Ramsey at center and Jolly and Hunter or Burgess, guards. Still a third variation is: Ramsey and James Bennett, forwards; Dunbar, center, and Hunter and Jolly, guards. Harper and Paul W. Barden '42. of Ripley have been used at center, and Jack, Parker, and Hugh Bennett as guards. Jenkins, who did not play last year because of a wrist broken in the football season, will be used at forward. With George K. James assigned to other duties this winter, J. Russell Murphy is the Junior Varsity coach, assisting Gullion. The Freshman squad is being coached by Robert J. McDonald '38, a Senior in Law. Cornell tied with Yale for third place in the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League last year, with Dartmouth first and Princeton second. FOOTBALL ROUNDUP The football season did not quite end with the Pennsylvania game November 2-3Last week Coach Carl Snavely an- nounced that Alva E. Kelley '41, right end; Frank K. Finneran '41, center; and Mortimer W. Landsberg, Jr. '41, fullback, will join the North squad for the game with the South at Montgomery, Ala., December 2.8. Captain Walter J. Matuszczak '41 had previously accepted a bid. Snavely and Lynn Waldorf, Northwestern coach, will direct the North squad. At the same time, Nicholas Drahos '41, right tackle, and Louis J. Conti '41, right guard, accepted invitations from Colgate's coach, Andy Kerr, to join the East squad which will play the West in San Francisco, Calif., New Year's Day. Selections of all- teams began. Bill Stern, NBC sports commentator, picked Drahos for Life magazine's All-America. Ted Husing, sports reporter for CBS, selected Kelley on an eleven selected from the teams he has seen play. Zigmunt Kaminski, sports editor of the No winy Polskie of Milwaukee, Wis., picked Matuszczak on an all-Polish team. Colgate players named Kelley, Drahos, Howard S. Dunbar '41, a guard; Matuszczak, and Harold F. McCullough '41, halfback, on their all-opponents' team, placing Kirk Hershey '41, end, Conti, and Finneran, on their second team. Matuszczak was one of ten players receiving votes in the annual poll awarding the Heisman memorial trophy to the nation's outstanding player. Harmon of Michigan was the winner. After the Pennsylvania game, Cornell was rated thirteenth in the Associated Press poll of sports writers. For the first six weeks of the season Cornell was in first place. In the rating for the Lambert trophy, limited to Eastern teams, Cornell dropped to fifth place, behind Boston College, Georgetown, Ford ham, and DECEMBER 5, 1 9 4 0 147 Pennsylvania. Cornell led the Eastern field the first seven weeks of the season. Top Cornell scorer of the season was Landsberg, with seven touchdowns for Δβ.points. Other totals: James T. Schmuck '41, 37; Louis C. Bufalino '41., 30; Drahos, 19 (all points after touchdowns); William J. Murphy '41, 18; McCullough and Walter Scholl '41, 12. each; Michael J. Ruddy '41, 7; Captain-elect Peter M. Wolff '4i, Kelley, Kasimir E. Hipolit '41, and Raymond Jenkins '41., 6 each. The Pennsylvania game ended Coach Carl Snavely's fifth season at Cornell. In that time Cornell won twenty-seven, lost ten, and tied two games, scoring 799 points to 349 for its opponents. The squad will be depleted by the graduation of Captain Matuszczak, blocking back; Hershey, Kelley, Schmuck, and Hipolit, ends; West, Blasko, and Drahos, tackles; Dunbar, Conti, and Cohn, guards; Finneran and Stimson, centers; and McCullough, Murphy, Landsberg, Ruddy, Scholl, Borhman, Sickles, and Eichler, backs. Next Year's Prospects Coach Snavely will have a nucleus on which to build a new eleven. Jenkins played considerable time at right end this season and will probably start there next year. Roy V. Johnson '43 of Tarentum, Pa., and Dyer B. Holmes '43 of Wayne, Pa., played briefly at end in Varsity games. Edmund Van Order, Jr. 'φ. of Ithaca developed so fast at left tackle during the season that he started the Yale and Dartmouth games. Norman L. Christensen ''42. of Englewood, N. J., understudied Drahos at right tackle. Other tackles who played in Varsity games were Charles R. Sweeney '42. of Scranton, Pa., and Clayton S. Rockmore '43 of New York City. Three guards with Varsity experience will be available. They are Captain-elect Wolff, who was used considerably at left guard, Donald D. Grady '43 of St. Petersburg, Fla., and Frederick A. Schaefer '43 of Honolulu, Hawaii, who made brief appearances in Varsity games. The one remaining center, John A. Manganelli '43 of Utica, saw little service during the season. Of the backs who played during the season only Bufalino was used regularly. He played either tailback or wingback. Used as a blocking back was Daniel C. Nehrer '43 of Tarentum, Pa. Richard L. Quigg '42. of Pueblo, Colo., appeared in one game as a halfback. Three players were used at fullback: Henry S. Dragon '42. of Albion, Philip T. Goldenberg '43 of Hartford, Conn., and Kenneth L. Stofer '43 of Olmstead Falls, Ohio. The Freshman squad is expected to provide considerable usable material, to be worked over and assigned at spring practice. In five games this year, these men were the principal starting choices: WOLFF FOOTBALL CAPTAIN The football squad in the dressing room immediately after the Pennsylvania game elected Peter M. Wolff '41 (above) of Highland Park, 111., captain for next year. He was first-string substitute behind Howard S. Dunbar '41 at left guard this year, and played considerable time in the first six games. Shortly after he went into the Dartmouth game, he suffered a pulled leg muscle and this kept him out of the Pennsylvania game. As a Sophomore, he played in all but the Ohio State and Pennsylvania games. Wolff graduated at Highland Park High School, is twenty years old, five feet eleven inches tall, and weighs 197 pounds. Scholastically, he ranks almost exactly in the middle of his Class in Administrative Engineering; is a member of Sigma Phi. Ends: Walter F. Pfeffer of Floral Park and Howard W. Blose of Dayton, Ohio, each of whom started three games; and James J. O'Connor of Philadelphia, Pa., and Theodore H. Lansing of Cranford, N. J., the first choices in two games. Tackles: Robert H. Anderson of Arlington, Mass., who started four games, and Albert J. Loux of Atlantic Highlands, N. J., who started twice. Others were Hamilton Millard of Asheville, N. C , Frank R. Rochow of Pittsford, whose brother, Richard F. Rochow '43, is on the Varsity squad; Joseph W. Finch of Youngstown, Ohio, and David W. Bickerton of Brentwood, Pa. Guards: Jay R. Geib, Jr., of Binghamton and Francis G. Paul of Easton, Pa., the starters in four and three games, respectively; Frank E. Barnes, Jr. of Mineola, Vint on N. Thompson II of Vincentown, N. J., and Pasquale M. Vescera of Utica. Centers: Louis J. Daukas of Nashua, N. H., who started four games, and Frank S. Ekas of Tarentum, Pa., the choice in the other contest. Blocking back: Joseph L. Martin of Camden, N. J., who started all five games. Fullback: Andrew J. Kosmac of Plains, Pa., who also started all five games. Halfbacks: Samuel R. Pierce, Jr., of Glen Cove and Charles P. Weiss of Putnam, Conn., starters in three games; George C. Urshel, Jr., of Toledo, Ohio, who started in two games; and William S. Wheeler of Evanston, 111., and Kenneth R. Davis, Jr., of Perry. Others who played during the season were: Ends, William S. Horner II of Parkersburg, W. Va., and LeRoy S. Stoothoff of Poughkeepsie; tackles, Martin G. Tobin of Rome, Paul C. Buck of Deposit, and Clark R. Sanford of Potsdam; guard, Edward J. Ahrens of Brooklyn; centers, David M. Sisson of Tupper Lake and Meredith R. Cushing of Eggertsville; backs, Pearne W. Billings of Oneida Castle, Charles R. Robinson of Madison, N. J., David P. Taylor of New Castle, Pa., and William H. Williams of Rutherford, N. J. CROSS COUNTRY AWARDS New captain of cross country is Frank P. Hoag '42. of Poughquag, successor to Nathaniel E. White '41. Hoag was elected at the annual cross country dinner at the Varna church November 2.8. He also received the Lung Mow trophy for showing the greatest interest and perseverance during the season. Coach Moakely made these other awards: Fast time medal, John L. Ayer '41; blind handicap medals, Howard P. Lynch '41, Everett W. Jameson, Jr., '43, and Robert A. Beck '41; and Freshman medals, John F. Kandl, Homer F. McMurray, and Harry C. Stants, Jr. Speakers were Ellison H. Taylor '35, instructor in Chemical Engineering and a former cross country runner; Professor John R. Bangs, Jr. '2.1, Administrative Engineering; and Robert F. Kane '34, assistant director of athletics. Toastmaster was Edward G. Ratkoski '35, assistant coach of track. ODDS AND ENDS Newman Club gave its fourth annual breakfast in honor of the football team December 1, in crowded Willard Straight Memorial Room. Robert J. Kane '34, assistant director of physical education and athletics, presided, and speakers were President Edmund E. Day, Alumni Trustee Mary H. Donlon '2.0, Coach Carl G. Snavely, and members of the team. UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES will open next June on a new campus of 650 acres eighteen miles outside of Manila. With more room for its 6,000 students, there will be fraternities and dormitories, and for their management Miss Crispina deBorja is on her first visit to the United States, taking graduate work in Institutional Management at Cornell. She is a member of the faculty at the University of the Philippines. 148 CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS STATEN ISLAND MEETS Cornell Club of Stateή Island had 1x5 men and women at dinner November 7, with Alumni Secretary Emmet J. Murphy yVL down from Ithaca bringing news of the Campus and of alumni affairs, and football motion pictures. Murphy was introduced by the Club president, Stuart H. Richardson '2.5, as was Clarence H. Davidson Ί i , chairman of the Club's committee on secondary schools. THREE WITH CBS Columbia Broadcasting System has three young Cornellians in as many departments in its New York City headquarters at 485 Madison Avenue. Henry Untermeyer '36, assistant director of programs for Station WABC, is the youngest of the station's executives and is known as the chief trouble-shooter. He produces the opening program every morning.

Babbette L. Henry (Kohn) '36, assistant to the television program executives, spent a year in theprogram typing division after working in the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D. C , and the Hotel New Yorker, New York City. She received theBS in Hotel Administration; is a member of Alpha EpsilonPhi. Jacques A.Finke '38 is an assistant in the script and continuity department, after a year's apprenticeship in several departments. He was a member of the Radio Guild, Varsity tennis squad, and of Beta Sigma Rho. LETTERS Subject to the usual restrictions of space and good taste, we shall -print letters from subscribers onany side of any subject of interest to Cornellians. The ALUMNI NEWS often may not agree with the sentiments expressed, and disclaims any responsibility beyond that of fostering interest in the university. ALUMNI APPRECIATION To THE EDITOR: Since the members of Cornell's greatest football team are hanging uptheir equipment for the last time, it seems as if the ALUMNI NEWS ought to carry a word of appreciation from some " J o e " amongthe alumni. I do notknow whether or not I can express what we all must feel, butI would appreciate it if you could giveme space for a few comments. Without exaggeration, it seems to me that these Seniors who have been representing Cornell this fall in football are perhaps the greatest group of all-around athletes ever to represent any university, from any oneclass. Notonly have they given Cornell an outstanding football team but some of them formed the nucleus of one of our best baseball teams and several others have been point winners in intercollegiate track meets. Thinking that the judgment of the coaches of the opposing teams might be of some interest, I sent a little questionnaire to all of the opposing coaches here in the East. All of them were most generous in giving their time to answer my questions. I asked them whether they considered this Cornell team an outstanding team, andasked them to select three of the boys they would like to have if they were selecting a team for themselves. COLUMBIA BROADCASTING SYSTEM CORNELLIANS TALK OVER BUSINESS Pictured in NewYork City CBS headquarters: Henry Untermyer '36, assistant program director of Station WABC; Babette L. Henry (Kohn) '36, assistant in the television program department; andJacques A. Finke '38, script writer. All of them considered the team outstanding; two of them said that they would have no choice among the starting Seniors. The other five mentioned seven different players in their selections. The consensus seemed to be Matuszczak, Finneran, and Drahos. It is too bad that there were so many sour notes sounded during the season, and it was especially unfortunate inthe case of Walter Matuszczak in the Pennsylvania game. I saw Borhman throwthe same kind of a pass in theSyracuse game and it made twenty-five or thirty yards. I sat directly behind Mr. Snavely when this play occurred, and saw him laugh heartily about it. Matuszczak is one of the best quarterbacks that Cornell has had during the thirty years that I have been watching Cornell football. If that play had clicked, as it easily could, Matuszczak would have been a hero, and he still is in myopinion. — " J O E ALUMNUS" OFFICIAL'S ERROR,1888 To THE EDITOR: In the very early days, at a regatta at Saratoga, Cornell achieved her first great victory against a formidable opposition consisting of crews from many Eastern colleges. Our dearly beloved President, Andrew D. White, though enthused over the result, laid even more stress on the gentlemanly behavior of our representatives and other Cornellians present, before, during, andafter the great victory. We know what would be his reaction today to the gentlemanly conduct of our representatives when, in sheer good sportsmanship, they voluntarily relinquished the game to Dartmouth. It seems that only gentlemen (and, of course, the female equivalent) can be good sports. It might be of interest to recount an incident of another football game of long ago, 1888.It was the third year of Cornell's attempt to learn football without a regular coach. Our opponent wasLehigh; time, Thanksgiving Day (Ithink); place, Elmira fair grounds. Thefieldwas a sea of mud. Lehigh had scored on a safety and no other score was made by either side 'til near theend of the second half—and then things happened! The players of both teams were so encased in mud that they were almost unrecognizable. Lehigh had the ball. It was passed to a halfback who started around the end, slipped in the mud, and layon the ground. It must be explained that in those days theball was in play until the carrier called "down." At the moment that the halfback fell, Dan Upton '90, Cornell tackle and captain, who had broken through the line, was poised over the Lehigh man and, unrecognizable and unrecognized, said, "Give me the ball." Thereupon, the Lehigh man handed Upton the ball, which was promptly carried down the field for a DECEMBER 5, 1 9 4 0 149 touchdown. The referee recalled the ball on the presumption that the halfback had called " d o w n . " The game ended with Cornell at the short end of the score, whereas if this goal had been given to Cornell she would have scored her first great victory. x\fter' the game the Lehigh player frankly admitted that he had not said "down," whereupon the referee, recognizing his inability to change the score, declared "all bets off." Today I take off my hat to the Cornell team, their coach, and the management. The alumni should be and surely are mighty proud of them. —RICHARD WAGNER '90. NOW, IN ΛIΓTIME! By Romeyn Berry PHILADELPHIA WOMEN Twenty-nine members of the Cornell Women's Club of Philadelphia met at the home of Mrs. Herbert S. Schenker (Eve Stembler) '30, November 7. The president, Gertrude M. Goodwin '31, presided. Mrs. William N. Chew (Luella H. Smith) '2.2. was elected vice-president, and Mrs. F. Arthur Tucker (Marion F. Milligan) '31, recording secretary. A committee was appointed to work on regional meetings. FEDERAL RESERVE BANKERS Owen D. Young, chairman of the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, announced November 15 the election of F. Donaldson Brown '06 to the board of directors of the bank. Brown, who is vice-chairman of the board and vice-president and chief finance officer of General Motors Corp., was elected by the member banks in Group 1 of the New York district to serve for three years beginning January 1, 1940. His election brings to four the number of Cornellians among the nine directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The others are President Edmund E. Day, Walter C. Teagle '00, chairman of the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey, and Neil H. Dorrance Ί 8 , president of the First National Bank and Trust Co. of Camden. Four other alumni are directors of Federal Reserve Banks in other districts. George C. Brainard Ί o , president of General Fireproofing Co., Youngstown, Ohio, is chairman of the board of directors for the Cleveland district. Ward D. Kerlin Όi of the Camden Forge Co., Camden, N. J., is a director of the Philadelphia district Federal Reserve Bank. Nicholas H. Noyes '06, University Trustee and vice-president and treasurer of Eli Lilly & Co. and president of the Paper Package Co., of Indianapolis, Ind., is a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Reese H. Taylor '12., president of the Union Oil Co. of California, Los Angeles, is a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. KENNETH ROBERTS '08 Whose new novel, Oliver Wiswell, is herein traced to its source. For some years, around the turn of the century, there was a wooden box with a glass front firmly attached to the stonework in front of Morrill Hall. It had a postman's slot in its lower half. It bore the name of The Widow—nothing more —and was used both to display proofs of that publication's next cover by Andre Smith or Willard Straight, and as a place where such timid souls as Hendrik Willem Van Loon might deposit their youthful contributions to Literature and Art without disclosing their identity. In my time, this box was opened periodically by the paper's business manager, George Jean Nathan, for the purpose of changing the poster, and occasionally by your reporter in the exercise of his editorial functions, to see if some unknown Gigadibs had miraculously turned up. On one occasion in the fall of 1904, a mass of copy, all by the same hand, fell out of the box at our astonished feet. There was verse which both scanned and rhymed; light prose written in English that echoed the King James version of the Holy Bible rather than the Campus jargon of the period; editorials that flayed the policies of the University's Administration with a stark courage scarcely to be expected in a Freshman but two weeks out of the egg. This copy was written neatly in legible script fit to go without change to Messrs. Andrus and Church, the printers, and each piece bore the utterly meaningless name of Kenneth Lewis Roberts '08. Somewhere in the years between, the author of Rabble In Arms and Northwest Passage has deftly dropped overboard and lost the middle name of "Lewis," but there abides with him yet the same lust to flay hypocrisy, double-dealing, stupidity, sordid self-interest, laziness, and everybody else who disagrees with him that he possessed in the fall of 1904. The critics who now regard this author as a flayer of some note are witnessing but the attenuated efforts of a weary artist. They should have seen Mr. Kenneth Roberts at flay when he was a Freshman! The Cornell Widow announced Mr. Roberts's election to the board at the bottom of the editorial page in the Junior Week issue of February, 1905. That was pretty quick action on a Freshman, but the editors of that period were sufficiently astute to realize that it might be expedient to get this boy inside the fold, and working for glory, before he found out he could sell his stuff to somebody else for cash. This reporter takes no credit for the discovery of a distinguished novelist. It is our only claim that without us to intercept his copy, and to chuck most of it in the waste basket before it found its way up the back stairs to the Andrus and Church composing room and thence into print, Mr. Roberts would never have received a college education. He would have been fired to hell out of here by a maddened Faculty in the first three months of his career. The late Teefy Crane had been a practicing lawyer before he became a university professor, and he knew the law governing free speech and a free press in its applications to undergraduate journalism. Often have we heard him state it after one of Mr. Roberts's milder efforts had managed to squeeze through the editorial mesh: " I doubt if I, as Dean, possess the power to abolish the Cornell Widow. But there can be no doubt of my full power—nor of my present inclination to exercise it—of my full power, I repeat, to abolish you and every other member of the board, including the unlicked cub who wrote that peculiarly offensive attack on the management of the Forest City Livery and Boarding Stables." But this article started out with the intention of becoming a review of Kenneth Roberts's latest novel, Oliver Wiswell, a story of the American Revolution written from the Tory angle. It's too late for that now, nor is another review necessary. The book had an advance sale in the trade of over 100,000 copies before its official date of publication, and doubtless the figure will have gone to double that before this notice appears in our little paper. Any praise that we could pile on that record of popular approval would be a work of supererogation. Suffice it for the intimate family circle of Cornell that Oliver Wiswell does to the Third Reader's version of the Revo- CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS lution's history, its portraits of the heroes and villians thereof, its sentimentalized romances, just what Mr. Roberts 's Freshman opus did to the local reputation of the Forest City Livery and Boarding Stables: hauls off and kicks it in the stomach; chokes it to death with authenticated facts. It's a pretty terrible book. All the time we were reading it, we felt frightened over what Teefy Crane might do to us about it; thankful, for his sake, that Mr. Roberts had now passed on to a point where the Faculty Committee on Student Conduct couldn't lay a hand on him any more, or beat him to a pulp with a blunt instrument. GATHER IN PHILADELPHIA More than zoo alumni in town for the Pennsylvania game enjoyed the pre-game party of the Cornell Club of Philadelphia, November zi, at the BellevueStratford Hotel. With Earle W. Bolton, Jr. 'z6, chairman of the committee, presiding, the master of ceremonies, Charles L. Macbeth *z8, called upon Coach Carl G. Snavely and his assistants, Mose P. Quinn and J. Russell Murphy. After dinner, singing and stunts were provided by undergraduate members of the Musical Clubs and Savage Club. ROTC INCREASES ROTC unit at the University this year numbers Z587 students—the largest it has ever been. Classrooms in Barton Hall are crowded, and the headquarters office is a beehive of activity. More applications have been received from upperclassmen for the advanced courses in Military Science and Tactics than the increased allotment of 354 provided for by the War Department, and forty men are taking advanced courses without pay and at their own expense. Those enrolled under the War Department allotment receive subsistence pay of $65 for their first year's training in Ithaca, mileage to and from a sixweeks' summer camp, pay at camp of $2.9.40, and allowances of about the same amount in rations and laundry. The next year they receive subsistence pay of $76, and in the two years allowances in uniforms of about $36. These costs are being paid themselves by the forty men over the allotment, and at the end of their training they will receive commissions as second lieutenants in the Officers Reserve Corps, the same as the others. In the two years of advanced courses are 2.13 cadet officers in Field Artillery, 106 Infantry, 45 Ordnance, and 30 Signal Corps. Basic courses, required of all male undergraduates not excused for athletics or physical disability, are given to 12.68 first-year students of whom 1167 are in Field Artillery and 101 in the Signal Corps; and to 9Z5 second-year students of whom 789 are in Field Artillery, 59 in the Signal Corps, and 77 in Ordnance.

DECEMBER 5, I 9 4 O ON THE CAMPUS AND DOWN THE HILL BASKETBALL TEAMS of fifty-six fraternities began their intramural season December z. Twenty-one teams of independents are so far organized, and the three courts in Barton Hall will be kept busy every evening from now until spring recess. Nick Bawlf, supervisor of intramural sports, has recruited officials from the football team and from graduate students with basketball experience. He is also organizing intramural leagues in bowling, badminton, and tennis. GAME ROOM on the second floor of Willard Straight Hall, closed to women since the building opened except for sporadic trials of one evening a week last year, has now been opened to both men and women by the Hall's board of managers. The game room has tables for billiards, pocket billiards, ping-pong, and bridge. The Sun comments: "Today a tradition ends, and a new order reigns supreme in the game room. Our only hope is that it produces some darned good female billiard players." FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA last week destroyed the Zamsky Photographic Studios and all but eighteen of the n o o negatives of Senior pictures for the 1941 Cornellian. As a result, 1082. Senior pictures are being retaken, beginning this week. Richard H. Paul '41, editor of the Cornellian, is assured that this will not delay publication of the book. ULTRA-MODERN facade, of prism glass blocks and terra cotta trimmed with aluminite, has been designed by Richard E. Metzger '2.8 for a new building on State Street where the former A & P store burned last spring. Expected to open next March, the building will house Holley's, a women's wear store. GROUND has been broken for a new apartment building of twenty-four i j ^ to 43^ room units, on Triphammer Road just outside the village of Cayuga Heights, near the Ithaca Country Club golf course. It is being built by Jes J. Dall, Jr. ' 16 for Westview Terrace, Inc., of which Fred A. Rogalsky Ί 6 is secretary-treasurer and Dall and Frederick L. Brown, Jr. '12. are directors. CORNELLIANS among the representatives of sixty national fraternities at the annual Interfraternity Conference in New York City, November 2.9 and 30, included Professor Riverda H. Jordan, Education, Phi Gamma Delta and for many years chairman of the Conference committee on residential advisers; Wilbur M. Walden f 11, National secretary of Alpha Chi Rho; and Howard B. Ortner '19, national secretary of Kappa Delta Rho. Evan J. Morris, proprietor of the Triangle SNOW blanketed the Campus four inches deep the night of November 26 and made Ithaca hills slippery, following fifteen-degree temperature the night before. Three days later, the first wouldbe skaters fell through the two-inch ice on Beebe Lake, thus starting the winter in traditional fashion. The snow and cold weather were a boon to deer hunters who turned out in force all last week for the first open season in Tompkins County in many years. The county clerk's office ordered and reordered the special license forms required, and many deer were taken in most of the towns surrounding Ithaca. Bookshop in Ithaca, represented Sigma Phi Epsilon, and undergraduate members of the Glee Club and Instrumental Club entertained at the Conference banquet, together with the Dartmouth Glee Club. DRAMATIC CLUB gave opportunity for prospective members in acting and for graduate students in directing three one-act plays in the Goldwin Smith Theater, November 30 and December 1. The plays were "Alma Mater" by Paul E. Green, Grad '2.3, whose " I n Abraham's Bosom" won a Pulitzer Prize in 1917; " A Night in the Country," by Smith and Finch; and "The Women Folks and Their Man," by John Kirkpa trick. RED CROSS sewing and knitting unit has been formed by the women's cabinet of CURW, to meet in Barnes Hall two afternoons a week. "FIFTY FLING" in Willard Straight Memorial Room December 1 was advertised with a display of broken shells, oars, life-preservers, and other equipment in the Willard Straight lobby, with appropriate signs urging support for the dance to raise money for the 150-pound crews. Committee for the dance was headed by Richard C. Slocum '42. of Fanwood, N. J. To help supply funds for 150-pound crew races next spring, the sixty members of the squad have been working regular Sunday shifts at the State Street gas station of James Wray, Jr., former rigger at the boathouse. DEBATE CLUB members Herbert J. Marks '42. of New York City and Bruce I. Granger '43 of Philadelphia, Pa., met two representatives from St. Lawrence University in Willard Straight Hall, November 2.9. Cornell upheld the affirmative of the question: "Resolved, that the nations of the western hemisphere should join together to form a permanent union." No decision was announced. JUDGING TEAM from the College of Agriculture placed eighteenth among student teams from thirty-one colleges and universities at the International Livestock Exposition in Chicago, 111., November 30. They were second among teams from the East, and scored highest in judging swine. David R. Longnecker, Jr. '41 of Rockville Centre, high man of the Cornell team, ranked sixth among the 155 contestants. Other members of the team, all Seniors, were Elton A. Borden of Schaghticoke, Stevenson W. Close of Ithaca, Glen D. Nice of Akron, and Jeremiah Wanderstock of New York City. Their coach is Professor John I. Miller, PhD '36, Animal Husbandry. SPEAKERS at a district conference of the American Alumni Council in Bronxville, December 1-3, included Emmet J. Murphy '2.x, Alumni Secretary, and Walter C. Heasley, Jr. '30, executive secretary of the Alumni Fund. R. W. Sailor '07, editor of the ALUMNI NEWS, is editor of the Council.

LAND GRANT PAPERS Intimate history of themanagement of the western timber lands which, through the foresight of Ezra Cornell, brought to the University some $5,000,000 of endowment is revealed in a collection of letters and business records given to the University by Mrs. James O. Hinckley of Lake Forest, 111. The donor is the daughter of Henry C. Putnam, who was the agent of Cornell in locating the lands and until 1877 was in charge of lumbering from them and of their disposition. Under the Morrill Land Grant Act of i86z, the University received scrip entitling it to government land in the west, andEzra Cornell consulted William A. Woodward of Orange County, who had large holdings in Wisconsin and who persuaded Cornell to locate the land in the Chippewa Valley. Here Putnam, who was Woodward's representative, claimed tracts which had some of the largest stands of pine in the lake states. Mrs. Hinckley's gift, now in the University library, includes letters and telegrams from Ezra Cornell dealing with the University's lands, and those of Henry W. Sage, Trustee and member of the land committee, of Woodward, and of Joseph W. Williams, then Treasurer of the University. It also includes the business records of the lumbering firm of H. S. Allen, who established the first modern sawmill in theChippewa Valley. This became thelargest in theworld, and through it went much of the pine cut from the Cornell lands. In addition, the collection includes several hundred contemporary newspapers of the region. It throws much light not only onthe early history of the University, but on the development of that country. Concerning THE FACULTY PROFESSOR CARL L. BECKER, History, speaking on "The New Order in Europe," November 17, in Willard Straight Hall, stated that " a government which rests on force and is essentially a denial of order and intelligence cannot survive." He said that the so-called "new order" is neither new nor an order, but is as old as a conception formed early in the century of a centralized union ofthe Middle European states with Germany the center. Saying the "order" was, rather a disorder, he continued that a true social order calls for established rules defining the rights and powers of a government, for established rules governing the rights of individuals, and for a consensus among the population concerning these rules. The new order in Germany denies these qualifications, according to Professor Becker, since it rests on theories of the superiority of the German race, on totalitarianism, and on the unimportance of the individual. He declared t h a t ' ' this new order is a war on intelligence, research, and freedom of opinion," adding that the neglect ofthe technical sciences in Germany may be one of the important factors in its ultimate downfall. Comparing the present system in Germany with the French system under Napoleon, he concluded t h a t ' * First he [Napoleon] wasmaster of events; then events began to masterhim. His regime collapsed because it rested on force. I think that is likely to happen to Hitler's 'neworder' in Europe." PROFESSOR JAMES N. GOODIER, Mechan- ics of Engineering, and George H.Lee, MS '37,former member of the Engineering Faculty, present a paper on "An Extension of the Photoelastic Method of Stress Measurement to Plates in Transverse Bending" at the annual meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, December 2.-6, at the Hotel Astor, New York City. Professor John R. Bangs, Jr. 'xi Administrative Engineering, vice-chairman of the executive committee of the management division, presided at the Industrial Management session December 3. Professor Harry J. Loberg '2.9, and Andrew S. Schultz, Jr., both of Administrative Engineering, were to discuss papers presented at sections on Industrial Marketing and Mathematical Statistics. These and other Cornellians, including Dean S. C. Hollister and Professors Frank O. Ellen wood, Will M. Sawdon, MME '08, and Paul H. Black, were to attend a meeting of the Cornell Society of Engineers, December 6, at the Cornell Club of New York. Dean Hollister was to speak and J. DECEMBER 5 , 1 9 4 0 Carlton Ward, Jr. '14, president of the Fairchild Engine and Airplane Co., was to discuss his recent trip to France asan official American observer of war industries. DR. EUGENE F. DUBOIS, Professor of Medicine at the Medical College in New York, has been appointed chairman of the sub-committee on clinical investigation of the National Research Council. This committee reviews problems submitted by the Surgeon Generals of the US Army and Navy. PROFESSOR HOWARD R. ANDERSON, Education, president of the National Council for the Social Studies, told delegates attending the twentieth annual meeting, November 11-2.3 a t Syracuse, that social studies courses donot "debunk" national heroes, in response to criticism that teachers of social studies do notteach democracy. Saying that such charges were'' definitely unfounded,'' he continued that things said about national figures, such as remarks made about President Roosevelt during the last Presidential campaign, are not said by teachers nor authors of social studies texts. "Without destroying freedom of speech and the press," he asserted, " i t is impossible to put a stop on the ' debunking' of national heroes." Urging teachers to "develop in students warm loyalties for the American way oflife," he offered a three-point program including study of national defense needs, emphasis on methods of studying social problems, and a teaching program designed to show students theslow evolution of democratic processes and the importance of civil liberties. DR. CHARLES O. WARREN '2.7, Research Associate in Anatomy at theMedical College in New York, has received one of the first awards of the Lewis Cass Ledyard Fellowships of the New York Hospital, for aid in research. In the past year, Dr. Warren has obtained valuable information concerning the mechanism by which the body compensates for loss of blood following hemorrhage. PROFESSOR MARTIN P. CATHERWOOD, PhD '30, Agricultural Economics, is a member of the executive group of the Ives joint legislative committee on industrial and labor relations, which is investigating the leakage of business and industry from New York State. The report of this group, in preparation for more than a year, is expected to bethe most exhaustive and detailed picture of manufacturing ever compiled in any state. Concerning THE ALUMNI Personal items and newspaper clippings about all Cornellians are earnestly solicited. '98 AB—Frank E. Gannett, University Trustee, urged national unity and an end to campaign hatred, in an address before the Cornell Club of Rochester, November 6. Saying that he had opposed President Roosevelt on many issues onwhich he honestly disagreed with him, he continued that the executive is "our President and should have our support on everything that will protect this country and protect itswelfare."

CLASS OF 1913 By Class Correspondent The Class is strongly represented among the new students entering Cornell this year. Among the Freshmen are children of the following 1913 fathers: John S. Clark, Diamond, Fear, Garmezy, Hofstader, Inglehart, Kerby, Koch, J. Waldo Myers, Proctor, Schaetzle, Schultheis, Switzer, and Wipperman. And one of Godfrey Cohen's daughters has enrolled in the Class of 1942., evidently having tried something else before deciding that the old man was right. The Class Secretary has suggested to this correspondent that it would beinteresting to get letters from the above and other 1913 parents setting forth in a paragraph or two just whytheir offspring chose Cornell or had the choice made forthem. That does seem to have possibilities of real interest, so please write your comments to George Rockwell, 748 Main Street, Cambridge, Mass., and include inyour letters items about yourself or other 'i3ers that may interest Classmates who read these notes. 14—C.
