XXXVII, NO. 7 ITHACA, NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 8, I 9 3 4 PRICE 15 CENTS GEOLOGISTS HONOR HARRIS An informal tea for Professor Gilbert D. Harris '86 was given Sunday afternoon, October xi9 in McGraw Hall by members of the Department of Geology and of the two geological societies, Chi Upsilon and Sigma Gamma Epsilon. Professor Harris, who this fall retire^ from active teaching in the University, plans to continue with the publication of the Bulletins of American Paleontology and with the study of material which he has collected during various geological expeditions made in this country, South America and Europe. Much of this material is at present housed in the recently established Paleontological Research Institution, concerning which Professor Harris spoke briefly. While noting that the Institution, with headquarters on Dearborn Place, is organized quite independently of the University, Professor Harris emphasized that it is established with the idea of cooperating with the University and of offering its facilities to advanced students, as well as to qualified independent workers who may wish to consult the collection of type specimens and find surroundings in which to pursue their own research. Among out-of-town guests were several former students of Professor Harris. He also received numerous telegrams and letters of greeting from friends and students now engaged in geological work throughout the United States, Canada, South America and South Africa. AWARD TRACK CUPS More than a hundred undergraduates attended the annual fall track gettogether sponsored by Spiked Shoe, honorary track society, in Willard Straight Hall on October 16. Speakers were Coach Moakley, Professor John R. Bangs '2.1, coach in the weights, Charles E. Treman, Jr. '30, freshman coach, Captain Walter S. Merwin '35, Frank J. Irving '35, and Robert J. Kane '34 who described last summer's European tour of the American track team of which he was a member. The twenty John F. Moakley cups presented by alumni clubs to be awarded to those members of the track squad who make the best records, show the best attitudes and the greatest improvement, went to Robert E. Linders '36 of Jersey City, N. J., 100 yards; Robert A. Scallan '36 of Terrace Park, O., Z2.0 yards; Carl F. Hollander '34 of Philadelphia, Pa. and Addison M. White '35 of New Hartford, 440 yards; William S. Hutchings '35 of Ithaca, 880 yards; Leon W. Taylor '34 of Penn Yan, mile; Bruce D. Kerr '35 of Ithaca and William N. Kaskela '34 of Newfield, two mile; Otto M. Hilmer '34 of Cincinnati, O., high hurdles; John L. Messersmith '36 of Westfield, N. J., low hurdles; John M. Scott '35 of Ithaca and Grandin A. Godley '36 of Tenafly, N. J., high jump; Henry S. Godshall, Jr. '36 of Lansdowne, Pa., broad jump; Robert B. MacNab '36 of Missoula, Mont., pole vault; Bruce H. MacLeod '35 of Milwaukee, Wis. and Walter D. Wood, Jr. '36 of Summit, N. J., shot put; Bo I. B. Adler '35 of Ithaca, discus; Robert A Reed '35 of Dunkirk and Joseph L. Leone '36 of Ithaca, hammer throw; and Donald T. Houpt '37 of Ambler, Pa., javelin. TO COACH STUDENT TEAMS A further development of the plan to foster participation in sports by all undergraduates is a new scheme this fall by which members of the varsity coaching staffs will coach the teams of the separate colleges, fraternities, and independent groups who participate in intramural sports under the direction of Howard B. Ortner '19 of the Department of Physical Education. Under the new plan the coaches of freshman teams and assistants to varsity coaches will give pointers to the member teams of the intercollege and interfraternity leagues in all sports, accomplishing the double purpose of helping the members of these teams improve their games and at the same time spotting promising material for varsity teams that might otherwise have gone unnoticed. Head coaches will supervise the coaching of their respective sports. Four new gigs have been purchased for the use of intramural crews, and it is planned to hold an interfraternity regatta on the Lake some time in May with the intercollege regatta. Thus rowing will be added to the other sports in which many student teams compete for the '97 trophy, the gift of an anonymous member of that Class awarded annually since 1917 to the fraternity or independent team which amasses the largest number of points in all sports at the end of the year. Coaching intramural soccer teams under the new arrangement are Forbes D. Shaw '2.7, now a senior in law, George H. Krieger '33, junior in the Law College, and William D. Sargent '31, who is registered in the Graduate School. Basketball teams will have the supervision of Donald F. Layton ^ 9 , John R. Moynihan '2.6, and Shaw. Max Hurwitz '35 will oversee wrestling; Charles E. Treman, Jr., '30, track JosephR. Mangan '34, track and cross country; Sargent, lacrosse; Emanuel Tarlow '35, swimming; and Shaw, baseball. HOTEL MEN MEET NOV. 13-14 A delegation of the world's leading hotel men, members of the executive committee of the International Hotel Alliance, will be the honor guests at the twelfth annual smoker of the Cornell Society of Hotelmen to be held in the grand ballroom of the Hotel New Yorker on November 13. The foreigners are attending a series of meetings held in connection with the National Hotel Exposition in New York City. The smoker, at which each year Cornell hotel students and graduates entertain three or hour hundred hotel men, is one of the outstanding social events of Exposition week. Through the courtesy of Ralph Hitz, president of the New Yorker, Milton C. Smith '31, chairman of the smoker committee, has been able to arrange for Ozzie Nelson and his band together with the floor show of the New Yorker's Terrace Room as the foundation upon which to build an elaborate entertainment program, including, besides Cornell talent, some of the brightest stars of Broadway. The annual dinner of the Cornell Society of Hotel men will be held the following night, November 14, at the Pennsylvania Hotel. Following the dinner will be a brief business meeting and then dancing in the Madhattan Room. Albert Koehl '2.8, president of the Society, is general chairman, and James R. McKowne '3i, c/o Harris, Kerr, Forster Co., 18 East Forty-eighth Street, New York City, is chairman of the dinner committee. All graduates and former students of the Department of Hotel Administration are members of the Cornell Society of Hotel men, and it is expected that, as in previous years, most of those who are in the vicinity of New York and some from a distance will attend this year's smoker and dinner. HARVARD HONORS THREE Three members of the Class of '33 have been honored at Harvard, where they are now students. Henry S. Reuss and Norman S. Altman have been elected to the board of the Harvard Law Review, and John P. Nell has been awarded a fellowship in the School of Business Administration. Reuss was editor of the Sun in his senior year, Nell was business manager, and Altman held the Boldt Scholarship here. ENTERTAINER at the Johnny Parson Club during dinner dancing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, besides Jack Stearn and his orchestra, is Margaret L. Schramm '35 of Flushing, star of last year's Campus production of The Mikado. CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS ENROLLMENT LARGER THIS FALL Official Figures Show 47 More Students Than Last Year Total enrollment in the University this fall, according to figures just given out, is 5,717, an increase of 47 over the number registered a year ago.

THE DARTMOUTH GAME on November 17, as in previous years, will be the occasion for a dance in Willard Straight Hall. Not at this writing officially named, the Student Council offers a prize of a free ticket for the best name suggested. Decorations and orchestra are promised to be of the best. THREE SOPHOMORES, it is related, peeled potatoes one day last week at Christiance Dudley's drugstore (sic) in lieu of pay for three Coca-Colas. Entering the store for purpose not stated, they being temporarily out of funds, one of the three saw fifteen cents lying unclaimed upon a table and invited his friends to a drink. The young woman who had forgotten the money appeared in time to prevent its use as payment and to send the three to temporary duty in the kitchen. THE^HUMAN CONSTITUTIONand Its Practical Problems was the subject of a lecture given by Dr. J. Parsons Schaeffer, '09 A.M. Ί i Ph.D., in Stimson Hall on the Schiff Foundation November z. Dr. Schaeffer is a leading authority on the anatomy of the nose and accessory sinuses, and is professor of anatomy and director of the Daniel Baugh Institute of Anatomy of Jefferson Medical College. COLD WINDS last week made the opening day of the pheasant season not too comfortable nor productive of birds, and the snow and rain they brought interrupted for a day the schedule of interfraternity touch football games on Alumni Field. Although some hardy souls turned out, the combination of cold rain, snow, and early darkness led those in charge to call off the games. Some pheasant dinners were reported about the Hill despite the unfavorable weather. THE FRESHMAN soccer team beat Ithaca High School 3-1 on Alumni Field October 31. FRESHMEN in Hotel Administration have organized a club of their own, designed to endure throughout their four years and afterward, with the prosaic name, Hotel Club. Its officers are Vincent T. Burns of Richmond Hill, president; Alvin T. Gaily of Lynbrook, vicepresident; Roger W. Went worth of Wilkinsburg, Pa., secretary; and Harry H. Port of Locust Valley, treasurer. TWENTY-SIX PROFESSORS of Romance languages from Colgate, Elmira, Hamilton, Rochester, Syracuse, Wells, Buffalo, Alfred and Keuka were guests of the Department of Romance Languages for dinner at Willard Straight Hall on October 2.6 and to discuss problems of teaching and research in their field. FREDONIA NORMAL SCHOOL, it seems, did not cancel the lecture of Norman Thomas as stated on this page of October 18. Herbert M. Douglass '07, who is Dean of Men at Fredonia, writes that it was another institution in the vicinity, according to the press, at which Thomas was scheduled to speak on October 8, which cancelled his lecture. "Upon learning of the open date, the principal of Fredonia Normal School invited Mr. Thomas here to deliver his address, 'The School at the Crossroads,' which he did to the great satisfaction of our students and faculty. It was, of course, not a political speech." We are glad to print the correction in fairness to the State Normal School which Douglass informs us "is striving to develop in its students some degree of open-mindedness." CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS Ό6 MEN PLAY GOLF Five members of the Class of Ό6 held an unofficial reunion at the annual "Twa Days" Golf Tournament at the Glen View Golf Club in Chicago, 111. on Sept UL. The accompanying picture of the five was taken just after they hadleft theeighteenth green, where Curt Welch sank a long putt to take the hole. From one of their number, Ed Foote, we have the picture and the following account ofthe gathering: "Curt Welch, the genial host, was responsible for getting these men together and, while no records were broken at golf, it is doubtful if any other crowd at the tournament had a better day." "Rodge Vail wasunable to play golf because of a lame shoulder and acted as coach, scorekeeper and water boy.The score of the foursome suffered by his absence, but there was much argument asto whether ornot it did not suffer more because of his acting in the capacity of coach. It is probable that more attention was paid to the reunion than to the golf game. This golf team may not be able to lay any claims to championship in golf, but itis doubtful if it will have to take a back seat to any team when it comes to reunioning. "Bill Forbes, whose reputation as a singer is far flung among Cornellians, was in unusually good voice in the evening and Glen View, which has quite a reputation as a singing center, marvelled at the harmony emanating from that section of the locker room occupied by Bill Forbes and Rodge Vail. It was agreed that the only thing lacking to make this close harmony complete was Doc Umstead. " I n breaking up after a very enjoyable dinner, resolutions were passed by this group that they would be on hand at Ithaca for their thirty-year reunion in 1936." The sons of four of this group are also Cornellians. William H. Foote is a senior and president of the Student Council, Clifford B. Stevens was a member of the Class of '35,James C. Forbes is in the Class of'36, andRogerS. Vail, Jr. is a freshman. NAME COMSTOCK HALL To House Entomology Comstock Hall isnow the official name of the building formerly occupied bythe College of Home Economics, which now houses the Department of Entomology. It is fittingly named, of course, for the late Professors John Henry Comstock '74 and Anna Botsford Comstock '85 who pioneered here in the study of insects. Professor Comstock it was who first worked out a system by which insects, like plants, might be identified and classified, based on the venation of their wings. His books and other writings, for the proper illustration of which Mrs. Comstock learned wood engraving, are still the standard authorities in the field. Most of the leading entomologists in the country have been his students as have those in the field of nature study followed the lead ofMrs. Comstock. Besides their unquestioned leadership in their chosen fields, Professor and Mrs. Comstock became, in their fifty years of residence at Cornell, among the best-loved members of the University community. Mrs. Comstock died on August 14, 1930, and Professor Comstock six months later, on March 2.0, 1931. The bulk of their estate was left to the University, including their interest in the Comstock Publishing Company, which they owned with Professor Simon H. Gage '77. Their will provided also for the establishment of the Grove Karl Gilbert Student Loan Fund. The new quarters of the Department comprise some 30,000 square feet of floor space. In 1871 the systematic study of insects at the University began in the tower room ofMcGraw Hall, just below the University's great bell and the nine smaller bells of the McGraw chimes. John Henry Comstock, then a junior in the Natural History Course, was also Master ofthe Chimes. In the fall term of 1871-3 Mr. C. V. Riley of St. Louis, Missouri, gave acourse of twelve lectures on economic entomology, but it was not until the next year, with Comstock an instructor in economic entomology in the School of Agriculture, that resident courses in the subject were given. In 1881 the Department wasmoved next door, to the second floor of White Hall, and since 1906 had been housed on the third floor of Roberts Hall. The work in entomology, limnology and apiculture now occupies the five floors of Comstock Hall, with a staff of nine professors under the headship of Dr. James G. Needham, PhD '98, two assistant professors andtwelve instructors. Ornithology, under the direction of Professor Arthur A. Allen '07, remains in McGraw Hall. Inaddition to the numbers of undergraduates who take courses in the Department, fifty-six graduate students chose majors in entomology in I933~34 Outlying links with the Department include an insectary, an experimental fish cultural station, abiological field station, and three wild life preserves, allofthem aggregating 650 acres. FIVE '06 MEN TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS AFTER Left to right: Roger S. Vail ofChicago, Glee Club, Masque, Council, Savage Club, Quill and Dagger; Edward T. Foote of Milwaukee, crew commodore and stroke, Sphinx Head; William H. Forbes of Cleveland, crew, Masque, Aleph Samach, Quill and Dagger, and donor ofthe Forbes cups for crew competition; W. Clifford Stevens of Milwaukee, Masque, Savage Club, Mummy Club, Mandolin Club, Quill and Dagger; Leon C. Welch of Chicago, baseball captain, Aleph Samach, Quill and Dagger. LIBRARY STILL SIXTH The University Library is still the sixth largest among American universities, despite the fact that its endowment ranks but eleventh, according to the report of the Librarian, Dr. Otto Kinkeldey, for the year ending last July 1. Its staff of 36 ranks eighteenth insize, and the salaries paid rank twentieth. Again last year the sume of $5,000 was appropriated through the Cornellian Council from the Alumni Fund to be used for the acquisition of new books. With 15,315 volumes added during the year, there are now 917,943 items in the various libraries on the Campus. Commenting on the improved reading habits of students, Dr. Kinkeldey points out that the establishment of a "sevenday book shelf" containing aboutxoo books inthe field ofpopular belletristics has proved an unqualified success. The NOVEMBER 8, 1934 xoo volumes were borrowed 11,853 ti in the year. This service was maintained without expense to the University because the volumes were gifts from members of the University community and others, together with purchases made possible from fines. The " seven-day book shelf" consists largely of the higher type of fiction, literary novels, essays, popular scientific works, biography, and recent dramatic successes in book form. According to Associate Librarian Elias R. B. Willis, students with foreign backgrounds are the most frequent borrowers of these books. Of particular interest to the welfare of the Library was the continuation of a special grant from the Carnegie Corporation for a Faculty research assistant. Henry H. King, a graduate of Amherst, for the past two years has been serving as research assistant to Faculty members engaged upon projects intended for publication. His work involves making preliminary research surveys, gathering and systematizing material and attacking specific research problems, thus relieving Faculty members of much necessary labor. The drop in the exchange value of the dollar and a shrinkage in endowment income are responsible for curtailment in book purchases during the year to the extent of almost 5,000 volumes. However, the Library adopted a policy of maintaining the continuity of its extensive periodical collection in the face of the increased cost of foreign periodicals amounting to almost fifty per cent, even though this meant a drastic curtailment of funds for the purchase of new books. By gift or exchange the Library received 4,435 items as against 4,133 last year. Institutions and individuals to the number of 5^7 made gifts to the Library during the year. The number of university, college, and industrial libraries that borrowed from Cornell during the year was 146. ST. LOUIS HEARS McCOURT At the regular monthly luncheon of the Cornell Club of St. Louis, held on October 2.6 at the American Hotel, Dean Walter E. McCourt '04 of Washington University spoke on his recent year's trip around the world. The Club meets regularly the last Friday of each month at noon at the American Hotel. ITHACA WOMEN ELECT Professor Bristow Adams addressed the Cornell Women's Club of Ithaca on "How to Read A Newspaper" at their first meeting of the year for dinner in Willard Straight Hall on October VL. Seventy-five members attended and were led in singing by Mildred F. Wilson %VL with Mrs. W. W. Ellis (Edith A. Ellis) '90 at the piano. The Club voted to reduce the yearly dues and to hold a bridge party for the Student Loan Fund. Lillian Fasoldt '2.7, president; Ruth E. Weld '31, treasurer, and Mrs. Carl Gilbert (Marie M. Turpin) '13, director, continue their terms. New officers are Guertίne Tinker '30, vicepresident; Mrs. G. E. Durham (Mary P. Porter) '2.2., secretary; and Mrs. R. C. Osburn, (Agda T. Swenson) 'io, director. MORE FRATERNITY PLEDGES Continuing the list of fraternity pledges begun in our issue of October 11, we print below the additional names reported as pledged through October z6.

BREAKFAST, LUNCHEON & DINNER RUTH CLEVES JUSTUS '16 MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY MATERIAL THING MORE important than millions of telephones and millions of miles of wire is the fundamental policy of the Bell System. It is founded on a spirit of fair dealing with the public, with employees and with those who have invested their money in the business. "The fact that the responsibility forsuch a large part of the entire telephone service of the country rests solely upon this Company and its AssociatedCompanies also imposes on the management an unusual obligation to the public to see to it that the service shall at all times be adequate, dependable andsatisfactory totheuser. Obviously, theonly sound policy that will meet these obligations is to continue to furnish the best possible telephone service at thelowest cost consistent with financial safety. This policy is bound to succeed in the long run and there is no justification for acting otherwise than for the long run. "Earnings must be sufficient to assure the best possible telephone service at all times andto assure the continued financial integrity of the business. Earnings that are less than adequate must result in telephone service that is something less than thebest possible. The margin of safety in earnings is only a small percentage of the rate charged for service, but that we maycarry out our ideals and aims it is essential that this margin bekept adequate.. . This is fundamental in the policy of the management." Quoted paragraphs from an address by Walter S. Gifford, president of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, at Dallas, October 20,1927.
