N Y Cornell Alumni News VOLUME 62, NUMBER 10 FEBRUARY, 1960 A Gift With Intelligence: Clark Family Helps English Teaching BY PROFESSOR WILLIAM R. KEAST FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS,, John M. Clark '29 and Mrs. Clark (Emily Blood) '30 of Wilmington, Del. have supported grants to assist scholarly research by members of the Department of English. They established the Department of English Grant-in-aid Fund anonymously in July, 1957, to help improve instruction in a basic subject in the College of Arts & Sciences. At first, the Fund provided $5000 a year for grants to junior members of the Department. Now they have increased it to $7000 a year to allow grants also to some senior members. The Fund's aid for the professional development of members of the Department of English helps the College to recruit and maintain first class scholar-teachers. Junior Faculty members were singled out to receive the bulk of the grants for several reasons. They are most heavily engaged in underclass instruction, and hence their quality has a decisive effect on the Arts College underclassmen. This year, for example, the nineteen instructors and twelve assistant professors in the Department are responsible for more than half the instruction given in the Freshman English course required of all students in the University. The teaching done by junior members of the Department, since it involves much paper-reading and student conferences, leaves them little time for research and writing. And younger Faculty members have relatively few of the opportunities for relief from regular duties that are available to more mature scholars: sabbatic leaves are some distance in the future Guggenheim and Fulbright awards usually go to established scholars; contracts for sponsored research are virtually unknown in the humanities. It is especially important to the present welfare and future prestige John M. Clark '29 & Mrs. Clark (Emily Blood) '30 of the University, therefore, that its most promising younger teachers be given opportunities to pursue the scholarship on which their future work will rest. In the last two and a half years, the Department of English Grant-in-aid Fund has provided grants ranging from $25 to $1000 to eighteen teachers in the Department. Their uses have varied widely. Several grants have been made for purchase of microfilms and photocopies of rare or inaccessible research materials. Several have been used for secretarial assistance, notably for the typing of books and articles: manuscripts of five books by junior members of the Department have been completed with aid from the Fund. Twelve of the recipients have used their grants for research trips to libraries elsewhere in the United States, in England, and on the Continent. An especially valuable result of the Fund has been the Department's ability to buy additional instructional time to reduce the teaching load of a Faculty member while he is bringing a research project to completion. Six members of the Department have thus been given teaching relief in the last two years. Support Scholarly Work Among the scholarly projects that have been supported by the Grant-in-aid Fund are books on Matthew Arnold by Robert A. Donovan, William Faulkner by Walter Slatoff, Arnold Bennett by James Hepburn, Sir Philip Sidney by Ephim Fogel, and John Marston by Anthony Caputi. The Fund has also assisted James Rosier's studies of Old English and Elizabethan lexicography; John Senior's work on the occult in modern literature; Robert Durling's studyof the Renaissance epic; John Feil's investigation of the career of the seventeenth-century man of letters, Sir Tobie Matthew; and Robert Langbaum's study of the Danish short-story writer, Isak Dinesen. One of the most unusual enterprises which has received support from the Fund is the Concordance to the Poetic Works of Matthew Arnold, prepared on an IBM 704 computer. This work, the first in a new series of Cornell Concordances, was edited by Professor Stephen M. Parrish and was published last fall by the Cornell University Press. Professor Parrish is now completing a similar concordance to the poems of William Butler Yeats. Among the research projects of senior members of the Department, grants have been made to Professor Robert M. Adams for a critical study of Joyce's Ulysses and to Professor Baxter Hathaway for a study of Renaissance literary criticism. The Department of English Grantin-aid Fund is administered by a Department committee. In making awards the committee is guided by three principles: first, that no grant should be made for a purpose which can be supported by an alternative source, in the 341 regular budget or elsewhere; second, that the grants should be used primarily to assist in the professional development of the Department's most promising younger members; and third, that merit and not simply need should be decisive in making awards.

Fund Assists Teachers Veterinarians Gather Again The Department of English is deeply grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Clark for the generosity and vision that led them to establish the Grant-in-aid Fund. Grants from the Fund have facilitated work that would have had to be postponed, pro- vided services that members of the Department would have had to do without or wastefully provide for themselves, and have helped get the rarest commodity in academic life: free time for scholarly work. The Fund has given support to a large number of valuable scholarly undertakings, and it has made an important contribution to raising the quality of teaching in the Department. I hope that the example set by Mr. and Mrs. Clark will encourage others interested in promoting the joint cause of scholarship and teaching to provide similar funds for other Departments in the College. Clark is general manager of the Du Pont photo products department in Wilmington. He is the son of the late Eugene B. Clark '94 and holds three Cornell degrees: BChem '29, MChem '31, and PhD '33. He is a member of the University Council and College of Arts & Sciences Council and took part in a symposium on the liberal studies at Cornell during the University Council meetings here in 1957. He was formerly president of the Cornell Club of Delaware and a member of the National Secondary Schools Committee; was a member of the Musical Clubs and circulation man- ager of The Widow; is a member of FIFTY-SECOND annual Conference for Veterinarians brought 480 veterinarians from the northeastern United States to the Campus, January 6-8. Registration was more than 750, with 218 Veterinary students and some seventy members of the College Faculty. Highlights of the busy three-day meeting were the establishment of a Veterinary Student Loan Fund honoring Former Dean William A. Hagan, MS '17, by the Veterinary Alumni Association and provision of a lecture in memory of Dr. Raymond R. Birch '12, professor of Veterinary Research who died last September, by members of his Class. Alumni Give Loan Fund A check for $7100 establishing the Loan Fund was presented by Professor Gordon Danks '33, Veterinary Surgery, to University Budget Director Paul L. McKeegan at an Alumni Association dinner meeting in the Ithaca Hotel. Professor Danks cited Professor Hagan for his contributions to the growth of the College and for his teaching and research here and throughout the world. "It is not unusual," Professor Danks said, "that the alumni should wish to honor him in some tangible manner, in a way that will perpetuate his name on the Campus, that future students may know who for so many years gave unselfishly of his time for the improvement of the profession." A past-president of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Professor Hagan was professor of Veterinary Pathology & Bacteriology from 1918-32 and Dean of the College from 1932 until his retirement last June. He left Ithaca last month to become director of the National Animal Disease Laboratory In Ames, Iowa. The first Raymond R. Birch Memorial Lecture was given during the Conference by Dr. Douglas G. Blood, professor of medicine in the veterinary college of University of Toronto. Present Faculty Portraits Two long-time members of the Veterinary Faculty were honored by alumni and colleagues at the Conference dinner in Statler Hall. Professors Henry H. Dukes and Joseph A. Dye, PhD '25, Veterinary Physiology, will retire next June. Their portraits were presented to Dean George C. Poppensiek, MS '51, by Dr. E. Nathan Coye '43 of Lyons, newly elected president of the Veterinary Alumni Association. Dr. Arthur Trayford '27 of Huntington was elected vice-president and Professor Stephen J. Roberts '38, Veterinary Medicine, was re-elected secretary-treasurer. The Veterinary Class of '40 commemorated its twentieth year since graduation by presenting $200 to the College Library for the purchase of books. The Class held a Twenty-year Reunion dinner with their wives and Faculty members who were teaching in 1940. As in former years, the Conference of- fered the visiting veterinarians a wide range of professional lectures and dem- onstrations by Faculty members and others. Alumni speakers included Drs. Alan A.

YOUR REPORTER, thanks to Don Hershey's diligence as Class of '27 correspondent and secretarial factotum, has become a minor buffer in an argument between Hershey and Dee Walsh '27. Dee, remarking on Don's extensive questionnaire for Class "personals," praised it as one communication not concerned with money. Most mail from Cornell, waving a tin cup, Walsh feels is evidence that the University has grown too big and impersonal for its own good. Don flatly disagrees with him (perhaps on evidence presented by his two Cornell sons) and has suggested that I do a piece on the subject. I cannot find myself wholly agreeing with either debater. Unquestionably, if the Ag Campus spreads out any farther to the east, the men's dormitories will have to be equipped with autogyros to get the future agronomists and dairymen to classes on time. And it is difficult to deny Dee Walsh's contention that mail to the alumni bristles with yowls for their hard-earned millions. On the other hand, some Colleges were quite self-contained units in our day; among such, I recall a certain cliquishness about the College of Architecture, which probably colors the opinion of Hershey, an addict of the drafting board. Fund-raising we have always with us; which doesn't make it entirely damnable. Alumni contributionsare the price we pay for insuring that government bureaucrats don't have too much say in determining what our candidates for liberal arts and professional degrees shall read or think. We Knew Professors If I incline slightly toward Walsh's side of the argument, it is because an alumnus twenty years our junior tells me he went through both Arts and the Law School without once having had meaningful personal acquaintance with a professor. Should this be general, it seems disturbing indeed and contrasts markedly with my experience as a student in Arts & Sciences. Our intimate contact with genuinely distinguished professors was often more rewarding than any other college experience. Moreover, such intimacies might begin even in one's second year. One instance of this was the broad and tolerant spirit of Martin W. Sampson, head of the English Department in my time. Neither his students nor his Faculty associates fully appreciated Martin Sampson during his lifetime; the innocent reason being that none of us February, 1960 knew how far-seeing he was. For instance, Sampson anticipated by twenty years the recent realization that Henry James's novels are among the glories of American literature. He foresaw that often the young graduate student who could write or teach would prove far more valuable to the world than the painstakingly accurate scholarship that produced Doctoral dissertations entitled αAn Inquiry into the Nasal Grunts in English." Therefore his guidance, though sometimes decried by pedants, gave free play to such men as Herbie Muller '25, now a top-flight writer of both history and literary criticism. Sampson Inspired Students In Sampson's courses, English literature became not a dry culling of antiquated language, but a demonstration that the great refreshing gale of inspired writing which began with Chaucer was still alive and roaring in the tree-tops. English 22, his course in Modern English & American Poetry, was one of those lecture series which literally pack them into the aisles. Standing-room-only was the rule when Sampson talked on Byron's "Don Juan," and his achievements in making college sophomores really understand Wordsworth were amazing. "Listen, the mighty being is awake/And doth with his eternal motion make/A sound like thunder, everlastingly." Few of us who heard the long sea-call of that line in Sampson's beautiful voice have ever forgotten it, or needed to ask again what a great falling caden'ce was. Then, in the second term, Sampson, a pioneer among professors, dared to assign the controversial Monroe-Henderson anthology called The New Poetry, and the Soph's feet went tapping to the crash and beat of Vachel Lindsay's "The Congo" or the haunting strain of A. E. Housman, and Anglo-American poetry entered the life-blood of many a student. Nor, although this was a lecture course with a huge attendance, did Professor Sampson hold himself aloof from second-year students. Undrilled by the teachers' colleges of our day, Sampson never acquired the habit of giving truefalse prelims that could be scored 1500 a minute by IBM. Instead, he demanded that students write their ideas upon various poems, and he read those ideas personally if they appealed to the needy and brilliant young men who served as his markers. Really good papers got a Sophomore an interview with the head of the English Department, and if he managed to deepen the favorable impression he had made, he might receive the accolade of an invitation to the Manuscript Club even in his second year. The Manuscript Club's reputation can be gauged from its having been well and faithfully attended, even though it met on Saturday nights. The long, low living room of the Sampson home on Seneca Street was book-lined and firelit. Sampson picked our contributions out of a bucket. They could be unsigned if we wished, which led to some uproarious ribaldry. And the company was grand, especially when alumni of the MS. Club happened to be in town. George Jean Nathan '04, America's ace dramatic critic, might drop in; or Frank Sullivan '14 or E. B. White '21 of the New Yorker; or Morris Bishop '14, with a preview of a piece of light verse to appear in the Saturday Evening Post; or Kenneth Roberts '08, a burly man from Maine who had not yet written Rabble in Arms and Northwest Passage. There was one unforgettable night, too, when I drank sour red wine in the Senate after the Manuscript Club adjourned; my companions being Professor Sampson and a slim, modest Oriental named Hu Shih '14, who was then translating the Mandarin classics into dialects that would make them available to the Chinese at large and who was to become his country's Ambassador to the U.S. Cornell was big even in my day; but a man like Sampson could make it and the world outside seem small and precious. Alumni Directory Appears LONG AWAITED, the 1960 Alumni Directory of the University is being mailed to some 1600 advance purchasers who ordered and paid for the book since it was announced last summer. The new Directory is a monumental volume of 1092 pages. The last one appeared in 1938. This one contains the names of all the more than 97,000 living alumni who registered for regular courses in the University, both as undergraduates and as graduate and special students. The main body of the book is an alphabetical listing with full name, address as on record with the University July 10, 1959, Class, years of attendance, and course or degrees. Maiden names of married alumnae are cross-referenced to their married names. Names of some 76,800 alumni who were undergraduates here are also listed according to Classes, separately for women and men. The women's Class lists show also the maiden names of married alumnae. Classes run from '79 with one living member through '59 with 2280 members recorded. A third section, of 202 pages, six columns to a page, has alumni listed by States and postoffices within the United 343 States and by countries and cities abroad. More than 15,000 places in all fifty States are included, and seventyseven foreign countries, from Afghanistan to Yugoslavia. The book has a three-page summary and interpretation of "The Cornell Idea" contributed by Professor Morris Bishop '14, University Historian. Publication of the Directory was made possible by a gift from the Nordberg Foundation, through the interest of Robert E. Friend '08, president, and James A. Friend '16, senior vice-president, of Nordberg Manufacturing Co., Milwaukee, Wis. University Printer M. R. Kerns was in charge of design and production, with assistance of Mrs. Richard M. Ramin (Frances Anthony), AM '52. The work was planned under a special committee of the Alumni Association composed of Professor A. Wright Gibson '17 and Mrs. Thomas T. Mackie (Helen Holme) '29, University Trustees, and Walter K. Nield '27, former president of the Association. Three thousand copies of the 1960 Alumni Directory were printed. It may be ordered, with payment at $10 a copy, postpaid, from Cornell University Printer, Day Hall, Ithaca. Professor Bishop ?14 Retires MORRIS G. BISHOP '14, Kappa Alpha Professor of Romance Literature, retired February 3 and was elected emeritus professor by the Board of Trustees. He continues as University Historian and a Faculty Trustee. Professor Bishop is widely known as a scholar, biographer, translator, and author of light verse and fiction. His biographical works include The Life and Adventures of La Rouchefoucauld Ronsard, Prince of Poets; Pascal, the Life of Genius; Champlain, the Life of Fortitude; and The Odyssey of Cabeza de Vaca. He wrote a two-volume Survey of French Literature and translated the Love Rimes of Petrach and Moliere's "Le Malade Imaginaire'3 first performed in 1956 by the Dramatic Club. Professor Bishop has also written A Gallery of Eccentrics and edited A Treasury of British Humor. He is a collector of limericks and his humorous verse appears frequently in magazines, notably The New Yorker, and is in three books: A Bowl of Bishop, Spilt Milk, and Paramount Poems ("If It Isn't a Paramount, It Isn't a Poem"). With the nom de plume of W. Bolingbroke Johnson, he wrote The Widening Stain, a murder mystery which takes place on a college campus (Cornellians have no difficulty in recognizing which college campus). Born in nearby Willard, Professor Bishop entered Arts & Sciences from 344 Books for Bishop—Professor Morris Bishop '14 (left), University Historian & Trustee, who retired February 3 as Kappa Alpha Professor of Romance Literature, and President Deane W. Malott examine the diary of a Frenchman who fought under George Washington and Napoleon. The rare, threevolume, hand-written diary, "discovered" by Professor Bishop last summer in France, was purchased for the University Library to commemorate his retirement after thirtynine years as a member of the Faculty. Yonkers High School in 1910 and received the AB in 1913 and AM a year later. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in 1913; was a member of the Manuscript Club and Janus, president of the Savage Club, and on the Era board. After three years in business, he was commissioned first lieutenant of Infantry and served in France and as a member of the American Relief Administration mission to Finland in 1919. He came back to the Graduate School in 1921 and was instructor in Romance Languages, receiving the PhD and becoming assistant professor in 1926. Associate editor of the ALUMNI NEWS from 1926-34, he wrote "The Week on the Campus" and then, briefly, a column, "Just Looking Around." In 1936, he was promoted to professor and named chairman of the Department, a post he held until he resigned it in 1957. He was appointed in 1945 the first incumbent of the Kappa Alpha Professorship. On leave during World War II, he was director of the Italian section overseas radio for the Office of War Information, and later was with the Third Army in France and Germany and assistant radio chief of the Twelfth Army Group in Luxembourg. In 1919, he was decorated with the Order of the White Rose by the Finnish government and in 1937, he was made Officer d'Academie of France. After. World War II, the French government named him Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur. He holds honorary degrees from University of Rennes, Union College, Laval University, Hofstra, and Colgate. In 1954, he was made an honorary citizen of Quebec City, Canada, for his biography of Samuel de Cham- plain, founder of Quebec City and first governor of New France. Professor Bishop is a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences and of the Senate of the Phi Beta Kappa Society of America and was vice-president of the DeWitt Historical Society of Tompkins County. Since 1957, he has been a Faculty Trustee of the University. In 1956, he was appointed University Historian, a post which had been vacant since the death of Professor Carl L. Becker, History, in 1945. He was the first president of the Library Associates; was treasurer for many years of Book & Bowl; and is a member of the Humanities Council, established in 1957 by the College of Arts & Sciences. He has spoken frequently at alumni gatherings and presides as Marshal at Commencements. Mrs. Bishop is the daughter of the late Albert Kingsbury '89. She assisted Ezra Winter with the murals in Willard Straight Hall and painted those in the new Gannett Clinic. At the Trustees' meeting in New York City, January 23, President Malott announced that as a tribute to Professor Bishop, the University had acquired for the Library a rare, three-volume, handwritten diary of a French soldier-offortune who fought under George Washington in the American Revolution and later in the armies of Napoleon. Professor Bishop found the Journal d'un Emigre by Denis duBouchet in France last summer and recommended that the Library purchase it; but he did not know that it had been acquired until the volumes were produced at the Trustees' meeting, in his honor. For Serious Discussion THE FORUM^ a new student publication, published its first issue last October 14, and the next three appeared November 5, December 1, and January 14. The first issue announced that the publication and its sponsoring organization, the Cornell Forum, aim to bring to the Campus "the stimulation of an outlet for a level of intellectual discussion which is now afforded by no institutional facility." Credit for support was given to Watermargin, Telluride, Young Israel, and the Men's Independent Council and to six members of the Faculty. The Cornell Forum has arranged lectures and discussion groups and the publication was announced as "a journal in which a student can have published any body of serious thought . . ., of any idealogical context whatever." This concept seems to be materializing, if seriousness and scope of the articles in the first four issues are indicative. Gerald Friedberg '60 of Brooklyn is editor-in-chief of The Forum and Bar- Cornell Alumni News ton J. Winokur '61 of Philadelphia, Pa. is business manager. Charles Levenstein '60 of Ithaca is president of the Cornell Forum. The Forum, appearing every three weeks, is priced at 25 cents a copy, $2 a year. Its address is Willard Straight Hall, Ithaca. Intelligence IT is THE FASHION now in some quar- ters to criticize fraternities as being anti- intellectual. Showing that rfT™«rha, te+erΏΛPn1lia•tci+ees: o£f trelhidve,.uiy7ncga,cti.atounhne be useful for _Cin,ornceolml mC,huanpaτ-l ter of Kappa Sigma ar- ranged an interesting district conclave, January 15 & 16, and invited the other fraternities here to send representatives. The late "Davy" Hoy '91, father and grandfather of the Chapter and some- time national president of Kappa Sigma, would have been delighted. The idea came from District Grand Master (presi- dent) Robert L. Kenerson '44, former Varsity wrestler born and raised in Ith- aca and now in Buffalo. The first discussion subject was "A Fraternity and Its Purpose," with R. Selden Brewer '40 as moderator. Pro- fessor Charles I. Sayles '26, Hotel Engi- neering, stressed the ability to work in groups and how the group accentuates the individual, sometimes negatively in "goofing off." Stuart M. Pindell, Jr. '60 of Phi Gamma Delta, IFC president, warned that a closed-mind attitude could be the fraternities' downfall. Pro- fessor Stuart M. Brown, Jr. '37, Philos- ophy, not a fraternity enthusiast, recog- nized some changes and progress. As- sistant Dean Hadley S. DePuy, Co- ordinator of Student Affairs and a Sig- ma Pi at St. Lawrence, remarked that "an awful lot of people have got a lot of satisfaction and pleasure" in fraterni- ties. He distributed constructive sugges- tions from the National Interfraternity Conference, and his own, and an article by Andrew Dickson White from The Forum of May, 1887, on "College Fra- ternities." President White stated pros and cons and closed with: "My con- tention is that they reduce certain in- evitable evils in college life to a mini- mum, that they produce good in many ways, and that, when college authorities deal with them in a large-minded spirit, they can be made to do still more good." Discussion was spirited, as in all the meetings. For instance, the necessity of February, 1960 lifetime membership and of national affiliation was questioned. DePuy gave a good rushing tip: stress fraternity ideals, not just creature comforts. Kenerson called the fraternity a tool of education and said that members were not selfish enough in making the most of their opportunities. * 5f -X "Philosophy of a College Education" that evening was led by William H. Orr '52, research assistant in Discuss Engineering Physics. J. Education 7Dunc Jells '49 Director of Financial Aids, said education is a life- long occupation. Assistant Director William H. Erickson, Electrical Engi- neering, stirred things up with extracts from his recent article in The Cornell Engineer expressively titled, "How to Not Get an Education." Sample: a cut means loss of instruction costing $2.50 to $12 an hour. He also told of teaching a class "like adults," with no roll taken and voluntary computing sessions; re- sults were ghastly. Good students told him, "Never try that again!" John Summerskill, Vice President for Stu- dent Affairs, asserted that industry re- cruiters now are interested in sheer talent and ability; no more is there a premium on social status. "The fratern- ity has a plus-factor in its living unit such as the University can't afford," he said. Associate Dean of Men Eugene Haun, recently from Penn, said, "Non- educational activities are merely fluff." He directs student counselors in the dorms; spoke highly of the Faculty, though he said he had had complaints of Faculty 'time-servers.' There was talk of the "publish or perish" system in university faculties. Star of the show, making a profound impression, was Professor S. C. Hollister, recent Dean of Engineering. He believes a high-school education is enough for survival, but it takes further study to develop leaders, reasoners who can see the scene in all its components. He abhors the 'contented cow' philosophy of education. A Syracuse chapter delegate said that students are too sheepskin-conscious and one from Hobart warned against an anti-intellectual attitude. 5f 5f -fc A session on "The Fraternity and the Community" was conducted by Robert Z. Fowler '53, local Kappa Sigma adviser and a GE Advanced Electronics engineer. He told of the national fraternity's stress on responsibility of chapters to train for citizenship. He liked work projects and was backed in this by an undergrad who spoke of the satisfaction and fun the jraters had had in cleaning up the Boy Scout camp and in children's parties. John L. Munschauer '40, Director of Placement and president of the Cornell Resident Advisers Association, belittled work projects as somewhat "phony," particularly if done purely for public relations and not altruistically. He wanted improved relations with the Faculty and in meeting foreign students. Headliner here was Ithaca Mayor Ralph C. Smith '15, who helped pay his Freshman year expenses by working^ in the Kappa Sig kitchen and harked back to it with pleasure. He remem- If you can play "Far Above Cayuga's Waters," Γm your man!

He highly ap- proved of work jobs; said they generate a tremendous amount of good will. He singled out the recent record-breaking blood-bank giving, run by the ROTG brigade. The Ithaca Journal's lead edi- torial of January 19 hailed the two-day, 630-pint harvest and closed with: "These Cornell students have set a fine example of generosity." Mayor Smith pointed to the large number of Cornell alumni who live in Ithaca and said that half the people on City boards (most of them unpaid) are Cornellians. With this makeup, "Ithaca can't help but be approaching the ideal community." * ** I like it too! THE FACULTY President Deane W. Malott and Mrs. Malott and Professor Norman S. Moore '23, Clinical & Preventive Medicine, and Mrs. Moore spent the Christmas holidays in Guatemala. They were entertained at a party for the Cornellians of Guatemala at the home of Roberto C. Rios, MBA '59, in Guatemala City. President Malott addressed the annual dinner meeting of the Tompkins County United Fund in Statler Hall, February 3. Former Trustee Walter S. Carpenter, Jr. ΊO, chairman of the board of directors of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., is pictured on the cover and is the subject of a sevenpage, illustrated article in the JanuaryFebruary number of Better Living, Du Pont employee magazine. Included is a picture of Carpenter Hall, Engineering library and administration building at the University, as one of Carpenter's gifts to education. Former Trustee Edward R. Eastman is chairman of the 1960 Heart Fund campaign in Tompkins County. He is president and former editor of American Agriculturist and contributes to it regularly. Since August, 1957, he has written a weekly column, "Let's Visit Awhile," for The Ithaca Journal. He served on the State Board of Regents and at the time of his retirement, April 1, 1956, he was its vice-chancellor. Professor Glenn W. Herrick '96, Entomology, Emeritus, 219 Kelvin Place, Ithaca, was ninety years old, January 5. His son, Marvin T. Herrick '21, is professor of English at University of Illinois, Urbana; Stephen M. Herrick '27 is with the US Geological Survey in Atlanta, Ga.; and Mrs. John M. Raines (Ann Herrick) '31 lives in Norman, Okla. There are four grandchildren. Mrs. Herrick (Nannie Burke) '97 died in 1957. Director David B. Williams '43 of the Foreign Student Office will He on leave from March 1 until the middle of June to visit colleges and schools in Latin America with a grant from the Rockefeller Founda- 346 tion. The first of its kind awarded by the Foundation, the grant is designed to assist Williams in working with students who come to the University from that area. Central and South America were chosen for his trips because in the last ten years, some 600 students from there have come to Cornell. He hopes to gain information that will be helpful in evaluating the preparation of students who come from there and to enlist the help of Cornellians and others in finding the best qualified students for the University. "It will be most helpful to visit the universities and schools in Latin America," he says. "The trip should greatly benefit the work of my office and our international education program at Cornell." After a month in Mexico, he will travel in El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Trinidad, Venezuela, and Jamaica. Faculty members and alumni of the Department of Speech & Drama, and the Speech Association of America, paid special tribute to Everett Lee Hunt, Public Speaking, 1918-26, Emeritus Dean of Swarthmore College. A Cornell luncheon, December 28 at the Statler-Hilton Hotel in Washington, during conventions of the American Educational Theatre Association and the Speech Association of America, honored Dean Hunt with addresses by Professor Herbert A. Wichelns '16, Speech & Drama, and Professor Richard Murphy of University of Illinois. A special session of the SA meetings, presided over by Professor Wilbur E. Gilman '23 of Queens College, Public Speaking, 1925-26, was devoted to papers on rhetoric prepared in honor of Dean Hunt's contributions to teaching and research in public speaking, rhetoric, and English literature. He is widely known for his researches and published papers on theories of rhetoric, particularly Platonic and Aristotelian. Professors Carroll C. Arnold, George A. McCalmon, and John F. Wilson also attended the meetings. The Avian Embryo: Structural and Functional Development, by Professor Alexis L. Romanoff '25, Chemical Embryology, Poultry Husbandry, was published in December by Macmillan at $35. Like Professor Romanoff's predecessor volume, The Avian Egg, published in 1948, this is an exhaustive treatise of more than 1350 pages, with many illustrations by the author. Professor Gordon M. Kirkwood, MA '39, Classics, was presented the Award of Merit of the American Philological Association at its recent convention in New York City. He received the Award, given each year to a member of the Association in recognition of outstanding authorship, for his book, A Study of Sophoclean Drama, published in 1958 by the Cornell University Press. Professor James Hutton '24, Classics, was elected a director of the Association. Professor Friedrich Solmsen, Classics, as president, was in charge of a meeting of the Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy. Neal R. Stamp '40, Associate University Counsel, has been promoted to Secretary of the Corporation and Secretary of the Board of Trustees. He succeeds Robert B. Meigs '26, who resigned to devote full time to his increasing duties as University Counsel. Stamp has been Assistant Secretary of the Corporation and Assistant Secretary of the Board of Trustees since 1948. He continues as Associate University Counsel. Stamp received the AB in 1940 and LLB in 1942. After overseas service with the US Fifth Army during World War II, he practiced law with the Rochester law firm of Webster, Lamb & Webster until he returned to the University in 1947 as assistant to the University Counsel. Mrs. Stamp is the former Maja Cavetz '41. Karl E. H. Moltrecht and John M. Allderige joined the Sibley School of Mechanical Engineering this fall as associate professors. Professor Moltrecht is head of the Department of Materials Processing. He came from University of Michigan, where he did advanced work in machining and process engineering. He was also with the export division of Chrysler Corp., and assisted in coordination and solution of manufacturing problems for overseas plants. Professor Allderige is in Industrial & Engineering Administration. A graduate of Yale with the Columbia MS in industrial engineering, he has been management consultant for Allerton Chemical Works in Rochester and was in the work measurement group at Eastman Kodak. Professor Donald E. Wilson, Food Science & Technology at the Geneva Experiment Station since 1954, has resigned to join Pet Milk Co. as chief of technical services in the product development division at their research center in Greenville, 111. In a year's exchange with Chalmers Technical University of Gothenburg, Sweden, starting in February, Professor Lester F. Eastman '52, Electrical Engineering, will travel to Sweden and Professor Sven Giving of the electrical engineer school at Chalmers will come to Cornell. Robert A. Saunders '36, an Associate Director of University Development, is president of the Trumansburg board of education. Director of Athletics Robert J. Kane '34 has been elected chairman of the Intercollegiate Rowing Association. The fiftyeighth IRA regatta will be in Syracuse, June 18. Trustee Vacancy FOR THE FIRST TIME since the University was chartered in 1865, there is no member of Ezra Cornell's family on the Board of Trustees. The Charter provides that "the eldest lineal male descendant of Ezra Cornell shall be a Trustee during his life." Next after the late William E. Cornell '40, who died last November 12, would be his son, Ezra Cornell, great-great-great grandson of the Founder. But young Ezra is eleven years old, and New York State law prohibits a minor from serving as a director or trustee of a corporation. The future Trustee is a student at Brookdale School in Bloomfield, N.J. He will be twentyone November 16, 1969. Cornell Alumni News OΠ the SpOrtίΠg Sίde - Bq "Sίdelίnβr" Sports Halt for Finals AT THE BREAK for mid-year examinations, only one Varsity team, the rifle team., remained undefeated. The famed wrestling team took a 22-8 beating from powerful Penn State, January 23, to mar its unblemished record of twelve successive wins. Even the polo team was lately beaten twice. Just about the most exciting team this season is Freshman hockey. The poor, impoverished hockeyists have been trampled on for the last three years and now it appears there are bright prospects for the future. The Freshmen have beaten the Colgate freshmen twice, Hamilton junior varsity once, and twice a powerful amateur league team from St. Catharines, Ontario. Basketball Team Wins THE BASKETBALL TEAM was a grave disappointment in its 77-59 downfall to Dartmouth, January 8. Three straight victories after that have enlivened hopes. The 81-57 win over Harvard the next night and defeats of Colgate at Hamilton, 71-69, January 13, and Columbia at New York, 76-72, January 16, are the reasons. The small Colgate and Columbia gyms have always been jinxes to Cornell teams, so there was more than ordinary glee about the results. The Red had not won on the Columbia court in six years. Colgate put on a fiery challenge in the second half and almost upset a cooled-off Cornell team. An 85-54 triumph at Ithaca, December 5, and a 40-27 bulge at the half of the game at Hamilton served to instill complacency in the Red players. They were barely able to forestall the rampaging Raiders in the final minutes. Colgate closed the gap to 51-45 with ten minutes to go. John C. Petry '61 had scored 7 straight points for the Red just after the second half began. But Colgate was on the move. With five minutes to go, the score was 60-59 for Cornell. Then the star of the last three games, Jay S. Harris '60, came to the rescue with 7 successive points. A rapid exchange of three baskets by Salisbury of Colgate to one by George A. Farley '60, a foul shot by Tansy of Colgate and another by Duffy of Colgate, and it was 69-67 with thirty seconds to go. Ronald S. Ivkovich '61 drove in for one to make it 71-67. And Duffy hit on two foul shots with nine seconds to go, to bring the score to 71-69. Harris was high with 23. Coach Sam MacNeil's experiment in the Harvard game, of employing Harris February, 1960 in the backcourt and teaming him there with Frederick J. Wynne '60, was likewise effective against Colgate and Columbia. Though the score was close, the Lions were never a serious threat. It was the second 4-point loss to the Red. The first one was at Ithaca December 14, 74-70. Columbia Fights Hard The score was tied and the lead changed hands several times in the first half and was a mere 40-39 for the Red at half-time. Cornell dominated the sec- ond half, however, as the height of the Red players gave them the ball off the boards most of the time. Seven minutes after the second half started, the Lions trailed, 53-42. By the time the half was ten minutes old, three Colum- bia starters had four personal fouls and a fourth had three. With just over two minutes to go, Cornell led by 12 points, but careless ball handling and an im- plausible refusal to play it safe were responsible for 8 straight Lion points before the buzzer sounded. Harris was again the leading player and tied Sophomore William J. Baugh as high scorer with 20 points.

Columbia 40 36—76 39 33—72 Cornell was 8-5 for the season at this mid-year point and 3-1 in the League, in second place behind undefeated Dartmouth. The Freshmen team had six wins and three losses when term examinations started. They defeated Colgate at Hamilton, 73-64, January 13, and Cortland State at Cortland, 90-76, January 19. Gerald Krumbein, six-foot-six center from Larchmont, was high against Colgate with 21. Gerald J. Szachara of Johnson City led against Cortland with 25. Richard Crone of Cincinnati had 17. Wrestling Team Loses BEFORE a sell-out audience of 6000 at wrestling-imbued University Park, January 23, two undefeated teams met and the home forces of Penn State won decisively, 22-8. Only Ithacans David C. Auble '60 at 130 pounds and Allan R. Marion '61 at 167 pounds came out with clear-cut decisions. Previously unbeaten Allen T. Rose 561 of Johnstown, Pa. lost to Jerry Sickler of State, 10-5, in a match in which both were near to pins on two or three occasions. Philip M. Oberlander '61 of Rosemere, Quebec, saved his unbeaten string, but had to settle for a tie, 4-4, with likewise-unbeaten Hank Barone in the 177- pound class. Auble tried valiantly, but could not pin Don Wilson. Marion crushed the highly touted sophomore star, Ron Pifer, 17-5. Barone was a rugged opponent for the tremendously improved Oberlander. It was a bruising match. Cornell beatings in the other weights were achieved without too much strain. The Freshmen lost to State, 28-8, in a preliminary match. Carlton T. Orr of Greene at 147 pounds and Peter M. Cummings of Ithaca at 167 pounds kept their undefeated records by winning decisions, as did James M. Meldrim of Cortland whσ tied Dennis Slattery in the 130-pound class. The summaries: VARSITY 123—Tony Scordo, PS, defeated Jerry Barlow, 10-2. 130—Dave Auble, G, defeated Don Wilson, 11-3. 137—Guy Guccione, PS, defeated Bob Jones, 6-2. 147—Sam Minor, PS, defeated John Shafer, 10-0. 157—Jerry Seckler, PS, defeated Al Rose, 10-5. 167—Al Marion, G, defeated Ron Pifer, 1 /—O. 177—Phil Oberlander, G, drew with Hank Barone, 4-4. 191—Phil Myer, PS, defeated Don Jayne, 4-1.

FRESHMEN 123—Al Hastings, PS, defeated Don Seacord, 7-3. 130—Jim Meldrim, C, drew with Dennis Slattery, 7-7. 137—Mike Williams, PS, pinned Bob Alberga with half-nelson and press in 6:51. 147—Garlton Orr, C, defeated Charles Beatty, 12-8. 157—George Noll, PS, defeated Doug Bliss, 8-6. 167—Peter Gummings, C, defeated Dan Kolody, 9-3. 177—Ed Pohland, PS, pinned Butch Brand with half-nelson and press in 7:47. 191—Don Lucas, PS, won by forfeit. Heavyweight—Dave Hayes, PS, won by forfeit. Penn fell victim to the Red in an unexpectedly close match, 19-13, at Philadelphia, January 16. It was the heavier men who had to come through to save 347 Cornell's three-year dominance over Ivy opponents. Cornell led, 14—115 going into the last two bouts. Penn had two top men in these weights, Ed Smith at 191 and sixfoot-four-inch, 275-pound heavyweight Frank Traendly. But Donald Jayne '61 of Waverly, wrestling in only his second bout this year, tied Smith, 1-1, and 185pound Daniel I. Konover '62 of West Hartford, Conn, got a takedown with fifteen seconds to go to beat the huge Quaker, 3-1. Auble did not wrestle because of an injured knee. Rose won, 10-4; Marion, 18-3; Oberlander won by default. Wilmot Carter '61 of Ithaca won the 130-pound division, 5-1, for the other points. Konover had been the hero also in the opening Lehigh meet, when he won the 191-pound bout in surprise fashion over favored Charles Moore. He could not make the Freshman team last season until the second semester when the regular heavyweight, William H. Werst '62, dropped out. Against Pennsylvania, the count was 1-1 in Konover's bout with the giant Treandly and with about a half-minute to go, Treandly tried to crush him to the mat for take-down points. Konover ducked him twice and on the third lunge, grabbed him from behind and tripped him for the winning 2 points. Swimmers Beat Princeton EXCITING EVENT of the winter season was the 57-38 victory of the Varsity swimmers over Princeton in Teagle Hall pool, January 16. Cornell showed surprising strength in spots. John N. Motycka '61, son of Joseph Motycka '22 of Coventry, Conn., won the individual medley and butterfly; both relay teams won; and most surprising was the victory of diver Paul D. Grannis '60 of Dayton, Ohio, over favored Tim Walker of Princeton. George Brakeley was the big star for the Tigers. He won the 50, 100, and 440yard races. It was the first loss for Princeton in four tries. Cornell came to four wins, three losses. The summary: 400 medley relay — 1, Cornell (Gerrit White, David Stiller, Richard Fine, Jonathan Hinebauch). 4:04.5. 220 freestyle—-1, George Brakeley, Princeton; 2, John Waterfield, Cornell; 3, Michael Gogh-Hendrikssen, Princeton. 2:16. 50 freestyle—1, James Flynn, Cornell; 2, Alan Dybvig, Cornell; 3, John Greist, Princeton. 0:24.1. 200 individual medley—1, John Motycka, Cornell; 2, Donald Keel, Cornell; 3, Barry Bosak, Princeton. 2:25.8.

Princeton disqualified for fouling turn; no time taken. Hockey Prospects Improve WHILE its older compatriot continues to eat humble pie? the Freshman hockey team succeeds in fortifying early optimistic aspirations with each contest. Successive defeats of the Varsity by Hamilton (9-1), Yale (7-0), and Dartmouth (12-0) deterred the Freshmen not at all as they beat the Hamilton junior varsity, 10-2; Hill School, 11-2; and St. Catharines of Ontario, 5-1 & 6-3. The Varsity game with Hamilton was at Clinton, January 13^ and the Yale and Dartmouth matches were in Ithaca, January 16 & 23. Despite the burdensome beatings, the Varsity players give each opponent a rigorous contest. Goalie John T. Detwiler '60 is the busiest undergraduate on Campus when he is in the net. He made thirty saves in the Hamilton game, thirty-five in the Yale game, and thirty-nine against Dartmouth. The team is so busy playing defense it has little time or energy to go on the offense. The Freshman game with the Hamilton jayvees was also at Clinton, January 13. The team met Hill School at Pottstown, Pa., January 16, and the two games with St. Catharines were at Lynah Rink, January 22 & 23. Stephan F. Kijanka of Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, is the leading scorer with 22 points. Second-best scorers are Harvey W. Edson of Duluth, Minn, and Robert J. Myers of New Haven, Conn., each with 13. Outstanding is goalie Laing E. Kennedy of Oxford Centre, Ontario. This 150pound six-footer does not have the classical sturdy build of the ideal goaltender, but he is a deft, lightning-fast operative. There are some fine skaters on the squad and they have developed into a well coordinated unit under Freshman Coach Morgan Hatch, a former Harvard player. Other Sports ONLY UNDEFEATED Varsity team, the riflemen, are sporting an eight-match streak and leading the New York State Intercollegiate Rifle League with six victories and no defeats. The Varsity team beat Colgate, Syracuse, and Hobart, January 9, in a quadrangular match at Barton Hall. Cornell scored 1399; Colgate, 1373; Syracuse, 1349; and Hobart, 1266. John B. Roach '60 was high man with 284. January 16, Cornell defeated Colgate at Hamilton, 1407-1335. Robert P. Declerck '62 paced the Red with an outstanding 287 performance, followed by Paul D. Thompson '61, 282; Daniel T. Christianson '61 & Jon A. Nelson '62, 280; and Paul H. Johnson '61, 278. Polo Team Loses Two Defeat of the Varsity polo team is most unusual, but it happened twice in three weeks. January 9, Yale trimmed the Red riders, 18-12, at New Haven and the coaches achieved it, January 23 at the Riding Hall, 19-9. Sandwiched in between, January 16, was a most convincing win over Squadron A team of New York City, 20-13, in the Riding Hall. The Red team was without the services of Stanley R. Woolaway '60 in the Yale game and this proved upsetting. But Woolaway was to graduate February 3, so the team will not have his accomplished help any more. The team has won nine games and lost three this season, having lost the opening game to a Fairfield, Conn. team. Penn defeated the Cornell Varsity fencers, 15-12, January 16, at Philadelphia. Cornell had the edge in epee, 6—3, but lost the other weapons. This makes the record 1-1, the victory being over Harvard. The Varsity track team lost decisively to Army at West Point, January 23, 701/s-382/3. Captain John S. Murray '61 vaulted 13 feet 101/2 inches to set a new Cornell indoor record, topping the 13 ft. 10V4 in. set by Everett L. Colyer '31. Other fine performances were those of Sophomore Eric P. Groon in winning the mile run in 4:19.7, and of Murray B. Moulding '61 in winning the 600 in 1:12.9. The Freshmen just lost out to the Army plebes in a preliminary triangular affair: Army 59, Cornell 57, Albright varsity 20. Allan W. Chapman '63 of Huntington won the mile in 4:30 and the 1000 in 2:20. The Varsity squash team lost to Princeton, 8—1, at Ithaca, January 16, and to Dartmouth at Hanover, 8-1, January 23. Haym L. Braveman '61 won at No. 7 over Princeton's John Trimble. Alumni Oarsmen Practice Four members of the great crews of 1955, 1956 & 1957 are working out with the Varsity candidates for a try at an Olympic berth they so narrowly lost to Yale in 1956 when they rowed in the famous Cornell eight. This time, it is for a shot at the Olympic four-oared shell with coxswain. All are members of the Class of '57. Lieutenant Clayton W. Chapman, USAF, who was Commodore Cornell Alumni News of the 1957 crew, is attached to Griffis Air Force Base at Rome; William J. Schumacher is on leave from Procter & Gamble Co. and is a graduate assistant in Chemical Engineering; David F. Davis has a leave of absence from Raymond Concrete Pile Co.; Robert W. Staley, just out of the Army, is an assistant in Mechanical Engineering. Coxswain Carl W. Schwarz is in law school and has a Government job in Washington, D.C.; will join the four next month. Players Are Students A recent "Confidential Letter" from Director Robert J. Kane '34 to members of the Athletic Association notes that nine of the ten Seniors on last fall's Varsity football team will continue their studies. Tackle Thomas W. Revack, guard Carl Bancoff,, and halfback Philip G. Taylor will enter medical schools; end John J. Sadusky will be in the fifth year of Civil Engineering; end Howard M. Picking and center R. Edwin Maglisceau will be in the fifth year of Mechanical Engineering; halfbacks Daniel L. Bidwell and George G. Gellert will be in the Graduate School of Business & Public Administration; and halfback Richard A. Nicoletti will be in law school. Captain and guard David W. Feeney, in the top tenth of his Hotel School Class, plans to enter the hotel business. Student Costs Go Up AVERAGE EXPENSES of undergraduates in the endowed Colleges of the University are now estimated at $2850 a year, besides cost of transportation to and from their homes. This figure is used in determining the award of most scholarships and other financial assistance to students in these divisions. Two years ago., the estimate was $2425 a year. Students in the State-supported divisions have lower expenses, since those who are residents of New York pay no tuition and those from out of State pay $400 a year tuition, as compared with $1200 for all undergraduates in the endowed divisions.

Broughton, who at his death last May .was believed to be the world's oldest active amateur radio operator, has been honored by the Federal Communications Commission and the Amateur Radio Association in Schenectady, his home town. His call designation, K2AE, has been given to the Schenectady Amateur Radio Association, henceforth to be known as the Broughton Memorial Station. A Broughton Achievement Award will be given periodically by the SARA in recognition of community service or outstanding contribution to amateur radio on the part of a local "ham." Backing the award is Broughton's son William G. Broughton '23, an engineer with General Electric in Schenectady and also one of the nation's senior "ham" operators. He and his father formed the only father-son combination to hold membership in the Old Old Timers Club, a nationwide organization of amateurs licensed for forty years or longer. Henry P. Broughton joined forces with a scientist, Nikola Tesla, in 1893 and gave the first public demonstration of wireless. '92—James E.

McGovern was presented at a surprise luncheon at the Overseas Press Club in New York City on his eighty-third birthday, December 9, a plaque that bears an inscription complimenting his launching of the Correspondents Fund and his "wisdom and guidance over the years." In 1943, McGovern noticed how many top reporters and foreign correspondents were killed or injured, or suffered diseases, and no provision had been thought of for them. Lowell Thomas asked him to set up a corporation, known now as the Correspondents Fund, and McGovern did so at his own expense. The Fund is combined with the Overseas Press Club of America and now has more than 2000 mem- bers. McGovern is chairman of trustees of the Carnegie Fund for Authors. His address is 60 East Forty-second Street, New York City 17. '04—Edward F. Brundage is president of Finger Lakes Chemical Co., Etna. '04 AB—Mrs. Walter H.

In November, the following members of the Class of ΊO met for dinner, and an informal get-together, at the Cornell Club in New York to discuss a very important event coming up, come June: our Fifty-year Reunion. Present was our Reunion chairman, Lyman C. (Juddy) Judson, and Sam Adler, Larry Bandler, Ike Behrman, Lou Bogert, Milton Brower, Bill Clift, Don Grossman, Abe Doris, George Dutney, Rick Hewitt, Bill Marcussen, Frank Oates, Larry Richardson, Marty Rutherford, Roy Taylor, and Allan Trimpi. Brad Delahanty, Harry Kiep, Polly Noyes, and Felix Thomas expected to be there, but at the last minute could not make it. Word comes from Ed Goodwillie that he would like to hold a similar meeting in March or early April Wallace (Blondy) E. Caldwell is pictured above with his house guest, Dude, at his home in Chapel Hill, N.C. Our Classbook has this notation: "Blondy hit Ithaca from Brooklyn, with two scholarships and a crop of Ύaller' hair." Since 1922 Wallace has been teaching ancient history at University of North Carolina. For three years he served as head of the department from which he expects to retire next June. His book, The Ancient World (Rinehart & Co.), is still considered the standard text in that field. In 1951 he was grand master of Masons in North Carolina, in 1952 grand high priest of the Grand Chapter RAM, and in 195455 served as sovereign grand master of the Grand Council, Allied Masonic Degrees. For a number of years he was intendant general for North Carolina of the Red Cross of Constantine.

(Bill) Christy in his contention in the following: "I have now been in air pollution control work for thirty-five years. October 27, I celebrated my seventy-fifth birthday. Does anyone dispute my claim to be the oldest man in the Class? Was in excellent health until last September when I had an attack of severe nose bleed and found I had high blood pressure. Now blood pressure is reduced and am feeling fine." But there is John L. Doan, 37 S. Second St., Chambersburg, Pa.,who wrote to John Rewalt: "I make a small annual contribution early each year to Cornell. I have stayed close to the side of my good wife since she was disabled by a paralytic stroke in July, 1955. I am not in poverty, but have no salary coming in and need to be careful with my dividends and Social Security. I am not proud of my record as an alumnus of Cornell. Enclosed is my check for $5." Johnny Rewalt advises us that John Doan was thirty-three years old in 1911, so that makes him eighty-one years of age now. So, Bill Christy, you will have to relinquish your claim, and we crown that fine old gentleman, Jack Doan, as champion in your stead. Sandford Brown lives at 377 South Har- rison St., East Orange, N.J. Sandy is a man of few words and for latest news his comments are "Ask Wheels." We understand he has retired as chairman of Bakelite Co. and is now living the life of Riley. From Clarence N. (Sliver) Seagrave, 20 Noyes St., Needham, Mass.: "Feeling fine, hope you are, too." Edwin H. Fisher, RD 1, Naples, writes: "Enjoyed a visit from Sam Graham and his wife this fall. Expect to be at 2043 Alameda Ave., Sarasota, Fla., for January, February, and March." Claude M. Thiele, Lake Wales, Fla., writes: "Spent the summer roaming Europe. Am going to spend the winter trying to beat Bunny Tilden at golf and shooting pheasant and quail." Harold E. Drake, Gardner, Mass., reports: "Woodie Wood and I are planning to make the Fiftieth (God willing) and will be pleased to hear how plans are coming. Keep us posted. Regards, Ducky. What do you mean 'Final Big Show?' Hope to see you at the Seventy-fifth. Where? Who knows." Charles A. Volz, PE, Buffalo, writes: "Still active as a consulting engineer. Let me know of any Class parties at Ithaca and I will drive down." Norris M. Jameson says, "Expect to be in Florida for a couple of months; back for Reunion." W. C. M. Butler writes: "Took my grandson to Ithaca last summer, and the Campus surely has changed in the last year or two. Have missed the Homecoming football games the last three years." E. E. (Ned) Sheridan says: "Still alive and kicking. See you in Ithaca in 1961." Harry A. Bade, Hartsdale, comments: "I Just want to congratulate all you officers mentioned above and thanks for your industry in behalf of the Class of Ίl since graduation." Arthur B. ( A r t ) Holmes writes: "Nothing you haven't already heard. All my best to you and my other Classmates. God willing I'll be with you in June, 1961." Ί3 Harry E. Southard 3102 Miami Rd. South Bend 14, Ind. Paul F. Titchener (above), president of E. H. Titchener & Co., 67 Clinton St., Binghamton, was signally honored last November when he received the 1959 Hall of Fame Congress Award presented by the American Legion Post 80. This was in recognition of his outstanding work in civic affairs and in establishment of Broome County Community College. When this college was originally organized in 1946, Governor Dewey appointed Paul chairman of the first board of directors. The Institute offers a two-year terminal course in mechanical, electrical, chemical, and business technologies. Paul is a past-president of the Binghamton Chamber of Commerce, has been chairman of the Citizens Committee for Urban Renewal & Development, and a member of the executive committee of the Valley Development Foundation. Nice going, Paul. Hage (Hermann W.) Hagemann, PO Box 285, Millburn, N.J., is having too much fun to retire; feels like a million all the time. He is spending the winter in Jamaica. He reports his principal form of exercise is golf, tennis, elbow bending, and gin rummy. He has 3 Rules for getting old gracefully: (1) Preserve your sense of humor; (2) Don't take yourself too seriously; (3) Keep busy. Sorry to learn that Newc (Frank) Newcomb, Lake Waterloo, RD 1,Stanhope, N.J., was recently in the hospital with a heart attack, but is probably home by this time. I know he would be glad to hear from the gang. Drop him a line and cheer him up. Here's hoping for a complete recovery, Newc. Jack (John H.) Brodt, 729 Windsor Rd., Glenview, 111., is still active in business in a partnership with his son in a new firm started a little more than a year ago. He writes that he has one wife, three children, and three grandchildren. It seems to me I detect a little wishful hoping that there were more grandchildren. We have one man in our Class who keeps writing you urging you to send in personals about yourself for use in this column. I am referring to Tris Antell, 1 Pierrepoint St., Brooklyn. Lord bless him! His efforts time after time save the day for me. But just try to get some news out of him about himself! He becomes the human Sphinx. But finally I've caught up with him in the public press, and so help me, here comes some news about Tris for a change. Along about last October, I read that he had changed his status from partner in charge of research for Hornblower & Weeks, 40 Wall St., New York City, to a limited partnership. I don't pretend to know exactly, but that sounds like a nice kind of semi-retirement. Then along comes a story in the New Yorker about Ivar Kreuger, once famed as the match king, who years ago disappeared into thin air (literally true; disappeared from an airplane), and I discovered that our Tris has been struggling as secretary for more than twenty-five years in behalf of a protection group formed in 1932 for the owners of some $45,000,000 gold debenture bonds handed down from Kreuger & Toll. A little later I read, and you can see I am giving Tris both barrels on this publicity business, that he had become a director of B. F. Drakenfeld & Co., a maker of ceramic colors, with a plant in Washington, Pa., and also a director of Drilling & Exploration Co. of Dallas, a producer of oil and gas in the non-Communist world. And here's the final shot. I understand Tris became their thirteenth director. So there you have it, news about Tris Antell. So long! '13 PhD—Earle H.

A December 9 postcard (uncoded) from Bill Friedman from Cambridge, England, reported that he had been there since mid-October, visiting all the colleges at a slow walk. Bill expected to spend Christmas with his daughter and family there; daughter's husband is doing research on neurophysiology and bio-physics. Ed Bowden of Seattle keeps in touch with Cornell through a Wells College student, daughter of a friend and neighbor. Had a nice note from Harry Harris, Rochester, who always keeps his eyes open for good Cornell material. Ned Billings, Elmira, has changed his address to his residence, 970 Scio St.: for thirty-three years previous to its sale in 1953, he had been in the undertaking business with his wife's folks. Ned sent a notice of the death of Dr. Charles H. Ott; a heart attack, he believed. Ned reported seeing Bill Myers in June, 1958, at their 50th high school reunion, remarking, "He hasn't changed a bit; fine fellow." Bill certainly hasn't changed in the last nineteen-and-a-half years, except for the aura of relaxation since he retired as Dean of the Ag College last July. Ced Guise's sister, with whom he lived in Ithaca, died November 30; Ced is off soon on a repeat mission to the Philippines on the Los Banos Project. Sam Schwartz writes: "I am retiring after having served a total of about forty years, all in the engineering field, with the State of New York, City of New York, City of Philadelphia, the FHA, the RFC, and the last ten years with the US Army Corps of Engineers, Eastern Ocean District. Ben Kriegel and William C. Anderson have served with me in the Engineers and will soon retire, too."

Fisher, 215 Live Oak Lane, Largo, Fla., and Charles W. Lake, 2234 Pow Wow Trail, Beloit, Wis. That's my old stamping grounds, Charlie; I was Beloit '13 for a year until I jumped to the major league. Ralph Ginrich is a full colonel. Walt Addicks "unwound" through a long summer on the shore of Lake Waramaug in the Litchfield Hills of Connecticut but is now back in Ardsleyon-Hudson. George Barnes sent me the card of Norm Kappler, showing him as executive vice-president, Eagle Chemical Co., Mobile, Ala., and 300 Park Ave., New York City 22. The factory is in Mobile and makes moisture-absorbing products, with wide industrial use, such as for wrapping pipes that would otherwise collect moisture and drip. George, a former Alabama district governor, now has a son and two sons-in-law in Rotary. Doc Peters reports that Yervant Maxu dian has come to life again. Max is executive vice-president of Interamerican Refining Corp., 4 W. 58th St., New York 19. I remember that he used to be in the oil business in Venezuela. Give us a story sometime, Max. Weinie Weinberger, East Orange, is looking forward to our 50th; meanwhile he's planning a world tour next fall and hopes to drop in on some of those mentioned in the Class Letter. Scotch Ballard writes that his son, Wilson T. Ballard, Jr., BSinCE '49, is a member of the firm (Wilson Tv3 Ballard Co., consulting engineers, 824 N. Galvert St., Baltimore 2) and is in February, 1960 general charge of production of highway, bridge, and other plans and reports, and also takes part in development of new projects. '15 Daniel K. Wallingford 64 West Ohio St. Chicago 10, III. 15^45—£0 William T. Diefenbach (above), 4819 Leland St., Chevy Chase, Md., is one of fifteen authors of Printing Progress: A Mid-Century Report, published by International Association of Printing Craftsmen, Inc., to outline the progress in the graphic arts in America during the last fifty years. His subject is printing ink. Bill is supervising chemist at Bureau of Engraving & Printing, Washington, D.C. Frank J. Wiffler, 1245 Raleigh Rd., Glenview, 111., says that he is looking forward to meeting Classmates next June and lifting a cup at the Dutch Kitchen. He writes: "I graduated again last June from Cornell's Business Philosophy "Freedom and Responsibility," to a natural manner which came easily. I enjoyed motoring with my wife Sally for three months in the States, visiting friends and many places." Ed Dixon's statements for our 1959-1960 dues have been received by all whose addresses are in order at the Alumni Office. This means that news items will come tumbling in. We shall publish these items in the order in which they are received. Before very long you shall receive your Class directory. So get busy and start an exchange of letters with Classmates whom you want especially to see at the Reunion. Walter A. (Walt) Priester, 601 Brady St., Davenport, Iowa, is anxious to receive his directory. He feels that its use will generate a lot of enthusiasm for the Reunion. Arthur ( A r t ) Dole, 2 Golf Lane, Winnetka, 111., says it's too early for him to say whether or not he can come to the Reunion. As long as he has not said no, I think we can count him in. Jules E. Piccard, 139 Emory Rd., Mineola, who ended up getting the ME at Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, is now a retired aero engineer. He has not gone to seed, however, as he has a variety of interests and hobbies. If you want to know more about his activities, drop him a line. From Herbert J. (Herb) Adair, Suite 1600, 1421 Chestnut St., Philadelphia 2, Pa.: "I spent about two months in Europe last August and September, visiting Germany, England, France, Portugal, and Spain, mostly on business. However, it was delightful to see Bob Doyle at the Brenners Park Hotel in Baden Baden and in London to see Lakin Baldridge and his wife, who were staying at the same hotel that we were, The Claridges. At the Ritz Bar in Paris, I met several younger Cornell men, after our time, and on my way back on the Elizabeth, I met John Ward, vice-president of North American Reassurance Co. Both he and his wife went to Cornell. All in all, it helped to make the trip most pleasant and much fun." 9 Λ Men — Big News! Our annual I Class dinner will be held Monday, April 18, at the Cornell Club of New York. Bigger News! Glen Acheson will again be chairman of the committee that will make this get-together a big success; in fact, another Baby Reunion. Mark the date on your calendar! It's a must! Another proof that we read alumni columns of other Classes. In the December 1 issue of the ALUMNI NEWS, the Class of '19 scribe, Colonel L. Brown, gave our publication, "The Call of 1917," a plug. For his information (and others) we have three six-page issues of "The Call" each year with four issues in our big Reunion years. We appreciate the publicity and have put Colonel Brown on our mailing list. Incidentally, we are grateful for a copy of "Cornell 1914 Class Letter" sent us by Emerson (Hinch) Hinchliff, historian or recorder of his Class, and also the scribe of their NEWS column. The Class letter, dated October, 1959, consists of sixteen pages of three columns each and contains a review of '14 Class news for the last five or six years. It is "loaded" with personals which should be of interest to all members of the Class. We also publicly thank Foster M. Coffin Ί2, Class secretary, for copies of the daddy of all Cornell class publications, the On-ToIthaca Gazette. Just heard that Harold J. Humphrey, one of the pioneers of the frozen food industry, retired December 31 after more than thirty years' service with General Foods. He will continue as president of the National Association of Frozen Food Packers until his term expires in March. In January, Harold undertook a special project for the United Nation's Children's Fund (UNICEF). He and Mrs. Humphrey live in Apt. 4C, Hudson House, Ardsley-On-Hudson. They have two sons: the older, Paul, is with Scott Paper Co. in Everett, Wash.; David is a senior at Princeton. Bob Bahney, another retired Ί7er, wrote from 2611 North Lake Dr., Boynton Beach, Fla., where he spends winters. Bob "summers" on South Bass Island in Lake Erie at Put-in-Bay, Ohio. He was formerly chief engineer of steel plants with Republic Steel Corp. Bob reported that Russ Dixon had retired also (wonder how they all do it?) and will spend most of his time in Florida. Russ sold his home in Butler, N.J., but is retaining his other extensive real estate holdings in the North. He and Mrs. Dixon expect to build a new home soon in Florida. Another Ί7er in Florida! Clinton R. Tobey retired as comptroller of the Detroit Ordnance District and went to Florida for 353 a vacation. There he met George B. (Pork) Howell and became interested in University of Tampa where he is now business manager. Gint forgot Pork was a Classmate and referred to him as '16, not enough to sue for libel, but nevertheless a serious error! Just heard the sad news that Harold C. Strotz passed away October 29 in Santa Monica. Gal. Had lunch a few weeks ago with Jack Fruchtbaum, our busy CE, who is president of J. Fruchtbaum Go., planning & designing engineers. He reported that his business is booming, especially in the chemical industries. Jack designed the nuclear reactor for University of Buffalo now in process of erection. Jack also designed the now com- ?leted nuclear reactor for Massachusetts nstitute of Technology, no insignificant accomplishment for a Cornellian! Jack's daughter, Mrs. Robert E. Buyer, writes for the Buffalo Evening News under her maiden name, Sue Fruchtbaum. Remember Monday, April 18! See you at our Baby Reunion! —HERB JOHNSTON Ί8 Stanley N. Shaw 742 Munsey Bldg. Washington 4, D.C. Indefatigable Charlie Muller when not engaged in arranging for a Reunion, Class picnic, or other '18 affair devotes his leisure time to writing books. In the "mellow years of life," that must be lots of fun. John Day & Co., the publishers, have just accepted Charlie's latest for early publication. That probably means next summer, if I know publishers. Well, anyhow, the book is the result of almost fifteen years of research and writing; so I know it's going to be a good one. Entitled The Proudest Day, it is a biography of "the most outstanding naval hero up to modern times and also the most unknown," to use Charlie's own description of it. Of course, you'll have to guess his name. Obviously, it's not John Paul Jones. He was a member of the Class of '13 and a miler, anyhow, wasn't he? Other Classmates, if not writing books, are often busy writing and making speeches. One of them is Joe Lorin of Grey Advertising Agency and author of its unusual little publication "Grey Matter." Joe spoke to the annual marketing seminar at NYU in December on "The Nature of the Sophisticated Customer," and recently addressed the National Retail Merchants Association in New York. Also, he wrote articles recently for the Journal of Retailing & Food Topics. It sometimes seems to me that '18 has done better for itself in a religious way than most Classes. Every month or so comes another news item about one of our well known ministers. Harold Kaulfuss writes from Lake Pleasant that after twenty years as rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, Gloversville, he has become rector of St. Huberts of the Lakes, Lake Pleasant. It's a wonderful little Adirondack community where he's ready to welcome both the skiers and the summer visitors. Incidentally, the present church building, built in 1957, was presented to the parish by Mrs. Dorothy Harris Kaulfuss '18. It is the first yearround church Hamilton County has ever had. Another churchman is Milt (the Rev. Milton C,) Westphal, who has been pastor of Lansdowne Baptist Church, Lansdowne, Pa., since 1923. Milt reports one son, a grad- 354 uate of Univ. of Penn medical school, who is a practicing pediatrician and also continues government research with the Pennsylvania Hospital. From Puerto Rico comes the good word that Juan M. Bertram is still active as a consulting engineer and grandfather. The latter title is especially important as he reports now a present grand total of eleven grandchildren. His two sons, both Cornell graduates in Arts and Medicine, appear to be active also both as doctors and parents. Another pending retirement, just reported, is that of Norm (Norman W.) Barrett, who will leave George M. Fuller Co. March 1. Norm lives in Cambridge, Mass., where he holds up the Cornell name amid the Harvardians. Norm has a Cornell son '42, a daughter-in-law '45 and a son-in-law '49, not to mention the six grandchildren. The travellers are again reporting in from odd corners around the world. Tex (Henry W.) Roden reports driving some 12,000 miles, flying twice that number, and visiting twenty-two countries during an 8V&-month European trip last summer. By all odds the most exciting part of the trip was the three weeks spent in the USSR, divided between ^Leningrad, Moscow, and Kiev. Dick (Richard P.) Matthiessen writes that his new job as Chicago representative of Porter International Go. has required him to move into Chicago from Warrensville, 111. His new address is 60 East Scott St., Chicago 10. The company is a unique service organization which assists US companies to enter into or expand their foreign operations. Dick, incidentally, has a young grandson now in school in Switzerland whom he fondly hopes will become a fourthgeneration Cornellian. '19 Colonel L. Brown 472 Gramatan Ave. Mount Vernon, N.Y. As more experienced and diligent newshawks will inform you, the annual meeting of Class officers and Reunion chairmen at the Hotel Roosevelt, New York City, January 23, was a great success. H. A. (Steve) Stevenson, editor of the ALUMNI NEWS and sailboat enthusiast, came down from Ithaca to preside at the meeting of Glass correspondents and group subscription chairmen. Ed Carples, vice-president, Lloyd Bemis, treasurer, and your correspondent attended the meetings. Rudy Deetjen, president, was at Nassau in the Bahamas on a business trip and did not get back in time. Your correspondent gleaned the information that Stevenson, Garples & Bemis (not inc.) had all been basking in Florida sunshine prior to the meeting. While there they met Frank B. Bateman, 209 Banyan Rd., Palm Beach, and Robert K. Story, Jr., 430 28th St., West Palm Beach. Strange how everybody has business in Florida or the Bahamas in the dead of winter and nobody, but nobody, has any business in Fairbanks, Alaska that needs attention. Also very much in the limelight at the January 23 sessions were Lawrence S. Waterbury and Alfred M. Saperston. Larry received a citation for his record-breaking, fund-raising activities in 1959. Al presided at one of the sessions, and also gave what I thought was a very convincing talk about bequests to Cornell. We missed several Classmates who frequently attend. Among those mentioned were Jack Leppart, Jack Shepard, Johnny Hollis, and Mai Beakes. My Brooklyn intelligence agent reported that Bob Story was in from Florida, but he didn't appear either. This is my lucky day for news. I picked up the morning paper and find that Wallace B. (Birdie) Quail has been elected vicepresident for distribution for Armco Steel Corp. Previously he had been sales vicepresident for the Armco division of Armco Steel Corp. Birdie was back at Reunion last June. His address is 503 S. Main St., Middletown, Ohio. C. Wesley Purdy, PO Box 142, Rockport, Mass., "makes and sells faithful reproductions of olde Colonial pewter plates & all sorts of pewter ware on Cape Ann." This sounds like an interesting business and one where he doesn't have to depend on the New Haven, New York Central and/or IRT to get to the shop and back. Norman T. (Fig) Newton is a Harvard professor. His address is 20 Prescott St., Cambridge 38, Mass. The last time one of my intelligence agents approached him, he said he had no news to report. John C. (Jack) Gebhart is a Cornell professor. His home address is 216 Kelvin PL, Ithaca. He can also be reached at Lincoln Hall, Cornell University. He said he had no news to report. Your correspondent draws these conclusions: 1. These professors are a closemouthed lot, or, 2. The intelligence agents are no good. Harold H. Moore, 16 Hopper Ave., Pompton Plains, N.J., is assistant manager, Prudential Insurance Go. of America. His business address is Suite 2900, 116 John St., New York City 38. Henry J. Kaltenthaler, Jr. is retired and lives on Church Rd., Paoli, Pa. The Kaltenthalers live on a sixty-acre farm at the beginning of the Philadelphia main line. They have eight grandchildren. Women—Helen Bullard wrote to tell me of the death of Ruth Lobdell Niles, November 10. Ruth attended the 1954 Reunion with Helen but had been ill and in a nursing home much of the time since. Marian Priestley Frank sent me a program of World Community Day, November 6. This program was written by Gladys Gilkey Calkins who was formerly the national chairman of World Community Day. Last month, Marian came up to Ithaca and I went down to Ithaca and we both stayed with Katherine Thorp. Ithaca treated us to snow, rain, and fog, but we had a grand visit. My daughter, Betsy Myers Wright '55, has just moved to Ithaca and will be there for the next two years while her husband works for the PhD. Betsy now has a son and daughter to keep her busy. My younger daughter, Nancy '58, is married and teaching science in the Central School at Hannibal. On her Christmas card, Mary Ellen Ford Totman tells me that she is caring for her new granddaughter, born November 2, as the baby's mother is ill. Ellen teaches school in Maryland and I imagine finds no idle minutes. Louise Hamberger Plass wrote me that there were thirty-five women of the Class of '19 at Reunion last June. While at Reunion, Agnes Conroy Wadsworth fell on the Statler steps and had to have thirty stitches taken in her leg. She was in bed two weeks. Cornell Alumni News I'll try my hand at composing another column as soon as you send more news to me, Mrs. Kirk H. Myers, at Cato. —BETTY COOK MYERS '20 Orυille G. Daily 604 Melrose Aυe. Kenilworth, III. 20-40—60 It matters not, at least a lot If the Ground Hog saw his shadow; You know darn well a goodly spell Of ice and snow will follow. It matters most, if we can boast That guys with bucks a-plenty Have planned to go and sent their dough For the Reunion of 1920! Each day the list grows longer as we get the good news of more who are planning to join us in June. Morton Woodward, Glendale, Ohio, is associate director, Overseas Division, Procter & Gamble., and travels about 100,000 miles a year to inspect P & G plants and operations in all parts of the world. That means he goes clean around the world four times a year. Well, that's the soap business for you! The short hop from Cincinnati to Ithaca will be a cinch for Mort. Sam Althouse, our v-p in charge of geniality, who markets his own brand of advertising and public relations in Swarthmore, Pa., recently had a visit from Postmaster Jesse T. Van Doren of Chaumont. Jess was in Washington, not under investigation, but at a convention, looking over his new line of merchandise for 1960. He says the Commemoratives are out of this world; must be space stamps! Sam hadn't seen Jess since they were at Plattsburg in 1917. Boy, that's way back! They're going to finish their reminiscing in June. Big news at Christmas for our genial vicepresident in charge of swimming pools, E. W. (Pete) Lins, with his appointment as division manager of the Appalachian Division, American National Growers Corp., with headquarters in Hagerstown, Md., as part of an important expansion program. Pete, who has lived in Ft. Pierce, Fla., for many years, has been outstanding as senior division manager for the Southeastern Division of American Growers, and his new assignment is evidence of his continued success. It'll be quite a wrench trading his swimming pool for a skating rink, although the move North won't take place until June, just in time to get to Ithaca on the 9th. Pete'll make sure of that! Harold M. Florsheim of the great Midwest recently was elected to the board of trustees of Chicago Medical School. Hal is president of Florsheim Shoe Co. and vicepresident of International Shoe Co. of St. Louis. During WW II, Hal served as assistant of the Chief Quartermaster of the European Theatre of Operations, and is now a director of the Illinois Manufacturers Association, Michael Reese Hospital, and the Highland Park Hospital. He's a busy guy, but hope he'll take time off to see how healthy it is in Ithaca in June. Bill Covington of Chicago and Lake Forest is getting his serious traveling and wifely obligations out of the way early this winter. Bill and Betty shipped out on the Santa Lucia last month and right now are up in the air somewhere between Lima, Peru, and February, 1960 Santiago, Chile. They'll take a fling at Buenos Aires and Rio before sliding in at New Orleans in March. That gets Bill all fixed up for the June Reune, and makes another addition to The Sun breakfast table. We had a nice note from Len Masius in London, who considers himself the best qualified unsuccessful competitor The Sun ever had. In that we heartily agree! Len hasn't seen the Campus in thirty years, and might feel like Old Rip as he gets newly acquainted. What a thrill he'll have! Warren Weiant, the intrepid tour-conductor of Tillie the Teapot, ran into serious physical difficulty while displaying the charms of his 1899 Locomobile Steamer in England, which necessitated an operation after his return home to Newark, Ohio. It's good to know Wy is back in harness again and says "I've got the Sax overhauled, valves ground, and barnacles scraped. So if Benisch shows up with fiddle in hand and the poet Whit (Bill Whittemore), we will finish off that piano that Hibby Ayer '14 operated on all night five years ago. Hibby will not be with us, but his melodies will. I am looking forward to Ithaca in June and being with you all again." After the rigors of her trip abroad, Tillie is resting peacefully, being admired in the Thompson Museum in Cleveland. Dick Coker '24 of Hartsville, S.C., having read about Tillie in this column, (ahem!) wrote Wy that his father owned a Locomobile, model no. 2, purchased in 1899 which was shipped by sea from New York to Norfolk and then driven to Hartsville. It was reputed to be the first automobile in South Carolina and is now on display in the Charleston Museum. We hear there's a long line standing outside the 20—40—60 Club door with membership applications in one hand (that's coat measurements and stuff) and $15 or $40 in the other (that's deposit or Reunion fee). We haven't seen the official announcement yet, but by the time you read this, you will. Dick Edson says he has to have those costume orders at once; so get on the ball, you all, and let's not stall, get outta that crawl and into action! '21 Charles M. Stotz Bessemer Bldg. Pittsburgh 22, Pa. Griff Ashcroft, ME, announced in October his resignation as staff associate with Arthur D. Little, Inc. He is now operating as an independent research consultant primarily in the textile industry at 280 Bronxville. Three cheers for our one time Cornell cheer leader. Winks (L. Wainwright) Voigt was back at the Yale game looking chipper as ever. He lives at 7423 Richland Manor Dr., Pittsburgh 8, Pa., and surveys the economic scene from his desk at Hemphill-Noyes. He prognosticates a fine market for 1960 and a remarkable Forty-year Reunion in June, 1961. Harold E. Simpson, Law, a Utica boy who made good in Ithaca, was honored by his legal peers when more than 100 lawyers from the ten counties of the Sixth Judicial District converged on the Ithaca Hotel, December 8, to celebrate Harold's elevation to the Supreme Court bench. He had the deep satisfaction of hearing many good words from his colleagues who believed him to be "the right man, at the right time, for the right place." This had been strictly a '21 political race, as described in this column in the last issue. At the dinner Al Treman said, "I don't know of anyone I would rather lose to." I suggest we start another contest between these lawyers for the post of Sergearit-at-Arms for the Reunion in 1961. No one has come forward as yet to report a great-grandchild. Perhaps we should lay off that gimmick and see who in the Class has the most grandchildren. To start it off, let me say that W. Frederick R. Davis of 216 Metcalf Bldg., Auburn, reported eight grandchildren in December and another due as a Christmas present. Have had no further news since then, but I suspect Fred is well down the list. Those with more than nine grandchildren please submit to this correspondent their entry for the 1921 Stud Memorial to be awarded in June, 1961. Roy E. Pratt, CE (you remember "Mother" Pratt, the power behind The Cornell Civil Engineer in your school days), declared a moratorium on business last summer and took his wife for a five-week vacation in Europe. The Pratts live at 122 Childs St., Springville. Edward Wilson, ME, of 1284 S. Citrus Ave., Los Angeles 19, Cal., reports nothing about himself but does say that he and his wife recently attended a fine barbecue at T. E. (Tom) Sauters's place in Altadena, Cal. Ed, you can't keep that trim figure you developed on the track team by attending barbecues, or have you given up? Above are some of our handsome Classmates who stood up to your correspondent's flash-Minox at the University Club in New York last November. At left our host, Harry O'Brien, is carving himself a mushroom while the maitre a" pours the steak sauce into his right ear. In the center are Obie Davidson and Kig Kiggins. At right are the popular Ithaca attorney Al Treman and Tony Gaccione. These early birds, with some fifteen others, were getting things ready for our Forty-year Reunion. Men—January 12, the following sat for luncheon and a meeting of the Class executive committee at the Cornell Club in New York: Henry O. Chapman, president; Don Baker, secretary; Ross Anderson, chairman of the dinner committee; Dave Dattlebaum, Cornell Fund representative; Andy Baldwin, Ben Burton, Frank Casey, George Dunham, George Eidt, Bill Friedman, Caesar A. Grasselli II, William Hill, Dick Kaufmann, Edward K. Kennedy, Al Morris, Joe Motycka, Clarence Roberts, Robert Thompson, George Thornton, P. A. Wade. The purpose was to make final plans for the annual dinner, discuss Class affairs in general, and to have a short but enjoyable get-together. Tommy Thompson was nominated to act as toastmaster at the dinner and, since there were no further nominations, his appointment was unanimous. Dick Kaufmann explained further details of his plan for our gift to the Cornell Fund in 1962, our 40th year. He believes it pos- 355 sible to greatly enhance the amount the Class will give by starting yearly contributions at this time and allowing them to accumulate until 1962. There was some discussion about the seemingly large number of obituaries reported during last year, with concern over our decreasing numbers. It was pointed out, however, that there still remain on our rolls a large number who have seldom or never checked in with the Class since graduation for no apparent good reason. Ways and means are contemplated, between now and our Fortieth, to get these men within the fold but, in the meantime, if you are one of them, how about dropping a line to this editor. When the Traus go home to Sherman, Tex. for Thanksgiving dinner with their parents, it's not an ordinary family gathering at the dinner table but a Cornell Reunion as well. The following of the Traus are Cornellians: Frank, Sr. '22 CE and his wife (Imogene Guion '22 Arts); Frank, Jr. ME '50 of Springfield, Mo. and his wife (Dorothy Krieger '50 Arts); and Edgar R. Taylor of Pittsburgh, Pa., EE '52, and his wife (Guion Trau '50 Arts). Also, among the drumstick gnawers you would find a pair of Trau kids wearing Cornell 19?? on their tee shirts, namely, Susan, age 6, and Frank G. III. I could almost match that if my wife weren't a Syracusan. When the subject of degrees comes up in the Bill Archbold family, Bill, the poor soul, has to take a back seat; he has only an ME. His wife (Mabel Lesher) has degrees from Bucknell and Yale. She is an assistant professor at Oswego State Teachers and is listed in American Women Who's Who. His daughter, Louise Archbold, has a degree from Drexel and is now working for a Master's in Home EC at Cornell. His son, Bill, Jr., has degrees from Syracuse and George Washington Law. Even Bill's mother-in-law has degrees from Bucknell and Johns Hopkins Medical. Inasmuch as Bill's father was William K. Archbold '89, that makes his daughter a third-generation Cornellian, an occasion which will be celebrated at the annual Class outing in June. Colonel Benjamin S. Mesick is an alumnus of both Cornell and West Point. A few years ago, he retired from the Army as head of the Watertown Arsenal to become a consultant in engineering. He is now professor of mechanical engineering at University of Arizona in Tucson and consulting engineer for Grand Central Rocket Co., Redlands, Cal. To get a more nearly complete line on the contributions to science by this prominent engineer, read Who's Who in Engineering.— JOE MOTYCKA Dr. George ]. Young Chamberlain, Me. Last .November, it was suggested, in fact, recommended, that if you intended being in sunny Florida this winter, and happened to be in or near Palm Beach, to visit Ted Stone's new restaurant. Well, if you know where Lake Placid is in Florida, (I can't find it on any map), drop in and visit Noil H. (Sim) Simpson. Sim retired from the Army as a colonel and now has a thriving caladium bulb nursery business at Lake Placid, a lovely home on Lake June, and, more particularly, a lovely wife named Ann and two attractive kids, a boy 9, and a 356 girl 6. Sim, isn't Lake Placid, Fla., a long way from Sanford, Me.? Henry Ward (Ack) Ackerson of Brightwaters is celebrating his thirty-sixth year as a realtor, dealing exclusively in Suffolk County properties. Leon Mandel and his sharpshooting wife, Carola, recently returned from Monaco. And do you know what ? Leon reached in his pocket and brought out a gold marksmanship medal. Chastely inscribed on its surface was the information that both Leon and Carola were winners of the 1959 international doubles championship in live pigeon shooting at Monte Carlo, the first world championship trophy they have won jointly. Now Carola, Leon's pupil, is bragging about the teacher. Attaboy, Leon. Last October, there was a special meeting of the Association of Class Secretaries (Johnnie Cole is president of that outfit) and there was a big pow-wow over providing adequate housing for the alumni returning to the Campus for Reunions, and also much talk regarding scheduling Reunions at a time other than the pre-Commencement week end. So maybe by the time 1963 rolls around, there'll be a new date for our Forty-year Reunion. Way back in 1763, James Boswell hesitated about writing his "London Journal" because, as he told Sam Johnson, "I put down all sorts of little incidents in it." "Sir," replied Johnson, "there is nothing too little for so little a creature as man. It is by studying little things that we attain the great knowledge of having as little misery and as much happiness as possible." That goes for this column, too. Write me about the little things that are happening. Your Classmates are eager to know about them. As Ben Franklin said, I hope your maid servant is faithful, strong, and homely. See you next month. '24 Silas W. Pickering II 30 E. 42d St. NewYorkl7,N.Y. Got a nice note from Charlie Adler expressing regrets at missing the last Reunion. However, he must have been having a great time because he was in the "land of the Midnight Sun" at Reunion time and on his trip visited Paris and England. What fun! Orin Severn from the eastern fringes of Jersey writes that he is patent counsel for the electronics division of Curtiss-Wright. He presents for challenge an interesting claim: the distinction of having the youngest family in the Class, having postponed creating a family until late in the '40's. He reports "three beautiful daughters: Betsey, 8; Virginia, 6; and Marian Jane, 5." Is there a comrade who challenges this statement? Norm Harvey deponeth that he is with Union Carbide and manager of personnel development for the sales division since 1955. He is a senior trustee of the Village of Pelham, former Republican County committeeman in Westchester, and many other community activities, and likes gardening and swimming. Has two sons, Darrell and Bill, the latter of whom was recently taken ill, but is now recovering rapidly. Norm tells John Brothers that he sees Sam Bernart and Si Pickering with some regularity. From Logan, Utah writes Leslie Hawthorn and wife, Ruth Reynolds '25. They now have four grandchildren; each of their two daughters has a boy and girl. Les is chairman of the western region of American Society for Horticultural Science, which includes all Western States and British Columbia. Our old comrade-at-arms and great stalwart, Charlie Cassidy, was sworn in as a member of the Supreme Court of the State of Hawaii. Not too long ago, Duke Byron sent us a newspaper clipping which pays Charlie this great compliment: "If all Honolulu lawyers were pitted against one another in a popularity contest, Charles E. Cassidy well might emerge the winner." This comes as no surprise to those who have watched Charlie win on through the years. Carl Brown writes from Scarsdale briefly that he is a partner with Dean Witter & Co. Has a daughter, a graduate of Stanford U, who is married. He also has a son who is a sophomore at North Carolina University. From White Plains reports Otto Jaeger. For the last twenty-five years he has been with the law firm of Kent, Hazzard, Jaeger & Wilson, Wilson being Malcolm Wilson, lieutenant governor of New York, and both Kent and Hazzard, the other members, are Cornellians. Ott has two children, three grandchildren. Milton G. Dexter of Belmont, Mass. writes he is chairman of the secondary school committee of the Cornell Club of New England. He is apparently having good fun with amateur dramatics with the Belmont Dramatic Club and the Kupples Klub. His wife, Jennie Curtis '24, is chairman of the secondary school committee of the Cornell Women's Club of Boston. Daughter, Patricia Dexter Clark, is president of '52 women. They have one grandchild, not yet a Cornellian. A brief, but pleasant note from R. T. Erickson from Greenwich, Conn., tells us he is secretary-treasurer of Adams Erickson Co.

At times we feel that the regularity involved in preparing and writing these columns is just too much. We reach a point where a little more would cause us to say, "to H with it." Then we hear from some Classmate and the world is full of roses again. The present situation is a case in point. A letter from Harding Van Schaack has restored our energies. He is with Caterpillar Tractor Co. in the Milwaukee plant. Before that, he was with The Heil Co., also in Milwaukee. Harding has recently lost two daughters, in marriage, that is. His older daughter, Betty, a graduate of Northwestern with a Master's of Teachers College, Columbia, was married to Richard M. Bock of Forest Hills, November 28. The couple both taught at Farmingdale, about ten miles from our home. His other daughter was married to Charles Kirckhoff, August 28, 1958.

Starting as a CE and ending up an MD is quite a change and accomplishment. We feel he has a renewed acquaintance and interest in Cornell through his son, Edward H. Kreusser, who entered the University last fall. Ed's home is at 6709 Ridge Blvd., Brooklyn 20. One of our regular correspondents is C. Rollin Allen. Every time he moves out on an adjustment job, we hear from him. Last year it concerned two trips to Africa on insurance adjustments for dam failures. This time it is a trip to London, again as a dam adjuster. In his own words, this is "after getting back from Honolulu working on hurricane and furniture fire losses. Never a dull moment. Daughter 'Rolline' is in College of Marin, part of California. Couldn't get her back East. Her father does all the travelling." Home, when he is there, is 20 Coste Alegre, San Raphael, Cal. Dr. Hugh S. Cameron, at University of California, in Davis, writes that he is spending a year in New Zealand on a Fulbright Scholarship. We seem to have a nomadic Cornell Alumni News Glass. We had our share of travelling in the past and can appreciate the broadening powers of travel. To finish off this travelogue. James W. McCullough is still in Turkey. He is now president of all Mobil Oil interests, including marketing, exploration, and refining in Turkey. His address is c/o Mobil Oil Turk AO, Istanbul, Turkey. Enough travelling. Home for a rest and the next column. Richard H. Sampson 111 W.Washington St. Chicago 2, III. Robert E.

Just completed my quarter century in insurance; some day I'll understand it!" Joseph lives at 3387 Glencairn Rd., Shaker Heights, Ohio. According to a recent newspaper article, Erik B. J. Roos has given up in his efforts to hand New Jersey back to the British. Erik, who is a New York engineer, living in Westfield, N.J., admitted that his recent proposal doesn't stand a chance and the movement will be abandoned. Roos and five other commuters from that area had suggested the return to British rule as a protest against income taxes imposed by New York State on New Jerseyans who work there.

During World War II, he negotiated and administered military contracts for Sylvania Electric. He had also practiced corporate law with a law firm and several companies in .New York City. He has written articles and spoken frequently on marketing and legal topics at industry forums. For the last fifteen years, he has circulated a newsletter among Sigma Alpha Epsilon Classmates. The Lockridges live in a rambling country house in Chappaqua. Mrs. Lockridge is organist of the Chappaqua Congregational Church. Daughter Lydia and son Bobby hope to enter Cornell. Men — With the Twenty-fiveyear Reunion of the famous Class of '35 just around the corner, interest in this great event seems to be building up. Christmas cards from some of the fellows have carried notes indicating their intention of "being among the casualties." I have also had the pleasure of seeing some of our members from time to time during the last few months, and perhaps a quick summary of all this will help some more of our cohorts to decide to join the festivities. From the Boston area, Fred Miller and Art Rodgers definitely will be on hand, along with Wen Upham from Phillipsburg, Pa., Jack Sullivan from Dayton, Ohio, Tom Borland from Darien, Conn., and yours truly. Pittsburgh will definitely be represented by John Batchelar, Ed Gibbs, and Sewell Crisman (who has already started the ball rolling in the December 15 ALUMNI NEWS). Of course, we're assuming Jack Todd and others from that area will be there, too. Dr. Bill Dugan from Hamburg is hoping to make it, as well as Hank Rogers from Freeport. Naturally, Paul McNamara, our Reunion chairman, will be coming from Philadelphia, together with Bill Einwechter, our secretary-chairman. It goes without saying that Jack Cobb and Bruce MacLeod, Class president and vice-president, will be on hand, and we'll certainly be looking for all the old stand-bys, such as Bo Adlerbert, Dave Abbott, Frank Delaplane, Don English, Jack Mount, Bus Olsen, Paul Torrence, Jack Wilson, Russ Boettiger, John Leslie, Roge Hamilton, Scotty McQueen, and Frank Irving, to name just a few. Let's hope we can get George Kennaday from California and Jim Tate and George Barns from down Virginia way, too. How about some more of the gang talking it up and letting us know? My only personal news is that I left Westinghouse last year and am now with Steel & Alloy Sales Corp., a manufacturer's representative and distributor here, handling such items as forgings, welding fittings, special machined and fabricated products, industrial heating equipment, etc. We cover northwestern Pennsylvania and part of New York, and I like it very much.

Following his service in the Air Force during World War II, he went on to get the PhD from Penn State and then worked for the US Geological Survey until his new affiliation. John T. Barton lives at 211 South Genesee St., Montour Falls. He recently made the news because, as a member of the school board, he was appointed director of a humanities seminar offered to gifted high school students. This was especially newsworthy because his son, J. Edward, is a member of a science seminar and his daughter of the humanities seminar directed by her father. Johnnie works at Seneca Engineering Co. in Montour Falls. '36 AB — Mrs. Newell R. Washburn (Elizabeth Fessenden) is an analytical research chemist with Ansco Division of General Aniline & Film Corp. and lives at 2204 East Main Street, Endicott, She writes: Last summer my husband and I visited Eskimo settlements around Hudson Bay, Foxe Basin (north of the Arctic Circle), and Baffin Island via Hudson's Bay Co. supply ship Rupertsland. We encountered ice that held us up for a day or two, but also enabled us to get close looks at families of walrus and seals. The Eskimos of the far north still live in a primitive culture, but the DEW line installations, commercial and military bases are rapidly "civilizing" the Eskimo, presenting a considerable problem to the Canadian government. We found this glimpse of Arctic life most fascinating and are anxious to return, in spite of the fact that my husband suffered a heart attack as we were passing through Hudson Straits. We were without medical 360 aid, except for brief messages from a Navy doctor via radiotelephone, for four days, when we reached Frobisher Bay and were flown out to Montreal via the US Air Force. It was certainly an unforgettable trip in many respects. Happily, he has recovered almost completely. Women—Here is part of a long letter written by Elvira Swayze Clough last April and addressed to "Dear Classmates of '37." The letter did not reach me till midsummer and I put it away so carefully that I have just now found it. This is the first time Elvira has ever written us a letter, but I hope it won't be the last. First of all, you will note that I have moved back to my old college days' home at 406 Elmwood Ave., Ithaca. This followed the death of my mother in October, 1958. My father and mother had lived here all that time and now my family and I have come to be with my father . . . . My oldest daughter, Norma Mae, graduated from Cornell last June as a French major and this year is doing some special work at Houghton College. Next year she expects to be teaching French or Spanish in a high school in CentraJ New York . . . . Joyce is in 8th grade and Cheryl in 2d grade . . . . Woodrow Clough '37 is still working in the Dairy Bacteriology Department at Cornell. For the last ten years I have been a licensed foster mother for our county welfare department. I have had 25 to 30 different children to care for. They stay anywhere from a few days to several years. Some are new babies being prepared for adoption. Some come because of sickness of the parents and some from broken homes, and some because they have been taken from their parents because of bad (cruel) treatment or poor care. Sometimes an emergency comes up and I take a child with practically no notice. One came to me with only a T shirt and a diaper, no other clothes on him, and a part of a bottle of milk. I asked the case worker his name and age and formula and she said: "We will have to guess. I know only his last name and that his mother had to be rushed to the hospital." The baby had been taken to the hospital with" his mother in the ambulance and the hospital called the welfare department. The people were new in town and had no friends yet. The mother was too sick to talk. After looking at the way this young fellow walked, and counting his teeth, I decided he was about 11 months old. Then I sipped some of his formula and made a good guess what was in it. Relatives came and got him next day and all ended happily. (He was 11 months old!) Usually things go pretty well, but part of one week I had to keep "prisoner" a little boy who wanted to go back to a "Mommie" who was too ill to have him. Doors had to be double locked and his clothes hid and many many stories told and games played. Many times children are very disturbed by troubles in their homes and the older ones have to be taken to the mental health clinic. Sometimes I have to deal with "problem parents" and that is not exactly fun, but the work has rewards, too. Often half-starved children just blossom with simple good food, vitamins, and some love . . . . I have two now, one 8 months and one 20 months old. How long they will be here is a question. You can guess we stay near home most of the time. We like picnics and go on two family trips each summer, one to Woodrow's parents' home in Vermont and one to the C&MA camp at Rome, where we live in tents and cook outdoors for two weeks. Besides our own, we have from one to four foster children with us on these camping trips. The older children like to hunt with Woodrow, with his camera, for birds, squirrels, and moths (once even a bat got his picture taken). I teach first grade in vacation bible school at the C&MA church each summer and take my turn working in the church nursery which my foster babies help to fill. Woodrow still likes to sing in choirs, but I don't seem to find time to do much away from home . . . . Gosh, I'd say Elvira finds time to do a lot of really worthwhile things, wouldn't you?—CAROL CLINE '38 LLB—Sol M. Linowitz of the law firm of Harris, Beach, Dale & Linowitz, Rochester, has been named chairman of the New York State Bar Association's special subcommittee on world peace through law. The subcommittee will work with a similar committee established by the American Bar Association. Linowitz is New York State president of the American Association for the United Nations. He recently gave the main address at a dinner at a District IV conference of Zonta International in Rochester. He and Mrs. Linowitz (Evelyn Zimmerman) '39 live at 2563 East Avenue, Rochester 10. Women—To the women of '39 a belated but heartfelt New Year's greeting from your tardy correspondent. Before you let fly the brickbats, be it known that high on my list of resolutions is the determination to keep you better informed on the whereabouts and activities of our Class. This presupposes a resolution on your part to send me such news. Christmas time brought some lovely cards and a few items of interest concerning Classmates. Olive Vroman Rockwell now lives at 1535 Kensington Circle, Los Altos, Gal. To those of us living in the Modern Ice Age, her description of sun and swimming pools is enchanting. Mary Rogers Hillas of 3 Lansdowne Estates Dr., Lexington, Ky., reports that Sylvia Dean Hunter is "still on the West Coast and living with her sister." Where are you, Sylvia? The West Coast covers considerable territory. Mary also mentioned that, while visiting on Long Island last summer, she talked by telephone to Ruth White Pachuta. Rosemary Sharood, the belle of Northwestern Bell Telephone Co., writes that she took a grand trip to New York and Washington, D.C. in October to visit members of her family. Jean Curtis Callaham states, with a mixture of regret and anticipation, that her Marine husband's tour of duty in Hawaii will soon be over, and they will be returning to the mainland soon. Possibly we can persuade her to hula for us at our Twenty-five-year Reunion. Her address is 146 Main St., Honolulu 18, Oahu, Hawaii. Binx Rowland chides me gently for no newsletter, but gives me little information concerning her Life and Hard Times in the radio business. The address I have for Binx is 336 Doris Ave., Vestal, but I have a vague recollection that there has been a change. Please send your new address, Binx; so you won't get the next Christmas card on St. Patrick's Day. Betty Chambers Loomis of 3 Pilgrim Circle, Rochester 18, and your correspondent are both members of a very unscientific and talkative bridge foursome. She is president of the Pittsford PTA. Betty's younger sister, Ann '42, is now Mrs. James Pennington and lives in Rochester. Ethel Piness Abrams of 521 Stelle Ave., Plainfield, N.J., asks tactfully how our news coverage has been (Well, Piney; it's this Cornell Alumni News way . . . . ) , and asks, "Do you want us to dragnet some news?" The answer is an unequivocal yes! Post cards, clippings, old shopping lists, notes to the milk man, changes of address, and any other likely tidbits of information will be gratefully received by your reluctant but dutiful correspondent at 28 Westwood Dr., East Rochester.—MARIAN PUTNAM FINKILL '40 John L. Munschauer Cornell Placement Service Day Hall Ithaca, N.Y. I received a note from Dave Chambers in Kansas which says: "Munsch; Mark Douglas Chambers, 7 pounds 6 ounces, 8 January 1960, 2:15 p.m. Mother and child are both OK and father will make it also they think." They are all well, very busy with the new baby and moving into a new house at the end of this month. Having mentioned in a recent column that the offsprings in our Class were beginning to enter Cornell, I can't help wondering how we'll react to the same piece of news in 1978 when I report that Mark Douglas Chambers has applied for admission. Art Durfee, our erstwhile editor, received this card at the end of September: "Dear Art: Sorry, have no news about '40 Classmates. However, this particular member has moved from Lyndhurst to New Brunswick, N.J. Same job, manufacturer antibiotics, S. B. Penick & Co., Newark, N.J.; same family of three children.—Charles Monroe, 11 Bloomfield Ave., New Brunswick, .N.J."

Still living in Rosemont, Pa., and engaged in the securities business with Blyth & Co., Inc. (vice-president), with new address at 2 Penn Center Plaza, Philadelphia. Regards, Stanley A. Russell, Jr." Charles Huggett of Pound Ridge Rd., Bedford Village, reports that he is a patent attorney with Socony Mobil Oil Co. in New York City. He also reports: "My wife, Daphne, was unable to complete her educational plans when we married because of war time conditions. Later, there were three children, Harold, Richard, and Diane, now 14, 13, and 11. But last year, she got the AB at Hunter College, New York City. This year we moved into a new house and are just getting over the shock of transfer." According to our records here are some new addresses we picked up while collecting dues: William T.

She was valedictorian at Chautauqua Central School, but decided to stay with the family in Louisiana. She almost went to Cornell. I still have five more chances. Ardelle and I like golf and the climate here provides us with an all season hobby." S. R. (Rusty) Irish, Jr., 123 Eleventh St., Lincoln, 111., included this note with his 1959-60 Class dues check, "Don't know if I have passed on the fact that I am now with Stetson China Co. as works manager; still living here in Lincoln." Edwin L. VanAllen, 1137 Elmwood Rd., Rocky River 16, Ohio, is with Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Co. as division sales supervisor for the Cleveland division of "Scotch" brand tapes.

First of all, it is hoped that you like what you read in this '41 column. Perhaps, however, the name of your husband has not appeared. Why? Chances are that we have not heard from him. Here's where you can help. Drop me a line (my name and address heads this column). Of undisputed interest are additions to your family, job changes, promotions, and changes of address. Example, Mary Arden Page writes about her husband, Gerald S. Page: "Gerry is abroad on business for Esso Export touring operations in fourteen countries. There has been a slight change of address here at home. We moved four houses up the street to 45 Briarclίff Rd., Larchmont, as we needed a bit more room." 9 Λ Ί Women—A very belated Happy *γ \ New Year to you all. Boy, did I "goof"; the deadline for the Jan- uary NEWS came and went and I was still unwinding from a crazy but wonderful Christmas and New Year's. All of the Cornell Buells were here at my house with spouses, children, and in-laws. They included Mrs. Fisk Shailer (Louise Buell) '35; Richard Buell, LLB '37; Robert Buell '39, and Mrs. Henry Lyon (Bettie Ann Buell) '52. I hope that's excuse enough for negligence. Much of the following news came as Christmas greetings and I really do appreciate everyone's thoughtfulness. Mrs. G. Burge DeWitt ("Mame" McCann), 3127 4th St., SE, Minneapolis 14, Minn., wrote she had "no news" but from her note she's obviously busy with her two sons, Donny, 11, and David, 7; they have a summer cottage in the "land-o-lakes," are all water skiers (one ski she says); they usually get back to Ithaca, her former home, at least once a year but on a hurried visit. Her husband, Burge DeWitt '39, is in design work in the aeronautical division of Minneapolis Honeywell. Elizabeth R. Gass, 72 Macondray Lane, San Francisco 11, Cal., after eight years of interviewing, counseling, training, etc. with the Army Corps of Engineers, San Francisco District, has been promoted to a similar job with the 12th Naval District Headquarters in San Francisco. Mrs. A. Roger Clarke, Jr. (Gay Churchill), 499 Vosburg Rd., Webster, writes: "Still married, still four children. Have lived in Webster on Lake Ontario for last ten years. Practice law, politics, and horses in about equal proportions. Have converted Webster into a Democratic oasis in this conservative 361 upState Sahara. My husband is Democratic leader of the town which has gone thataway since he took over in 1953." Sounds busy and interesting; my own husband is a Republican leader. Another former Ithaca friend of mine, Mrs. Harold C. Cope (Ann Reeves), 906 Abington Pike, Richmond, Ind., also states "no startling news." Her husband is business manager of Earlham College; she has four children, the youngest now 4, and she is up to her ears with family, college, church and community affairs. Helen Douty writes that she taught at University of Hawaii for exactly ten years after getting the MS at Cornell in 1948; taught at University of Washington last year; now has begun work on the PhD in clothing & textiles at University of Florida in Tallahassee where she plans to be for several years.

She has been there for fifteen years, except for four years with a similar outfit in Connecticut. She had a week in Bermuda last spring and now wants to see Hawaii.

Lud was one of our hosts for our national gettogether and attended the Princeton game last fall where he saw Doug Archibald and Stan Johnson. He has three boys, 14, 12, and 8. William J. Rothfuss, 6 Norwood St., Winchester, Mass., writes: "The Rothfuss family consists of my wife, Toni, Ann, 14, Billy, 9, and David, 5. This wide age variance in the family provides a three-ring circus (soon to be four in the circus). We moved to Massachusetts, from Iowa in 1957, where I am general manager of the CRYOVAC Equipment Division, which is part of W. R. Grace & Co. We attended the HarvardCornell game at Harvard Stadium, and following this, went to a Cornell reception where we met a lot of Cornellians plus some old friends such as Bill (Teapot5) Bertelson and his wife" Major John G. Albert, 316 19th St., Santa Monica, Cal., is stationed at the Air Force Ballistic Missile Division in Los Angeles. His work is involved with military space missions. John and his wife, Jean, have a wonderful family of six children. Does anyone in the Class have seven or eight children? I would say the major, though he is very concerned with what is going on in space, has been actively concerned with affairs here on earth. William C. Menges, Woodland Farms Rd., Pittsburgh 38, Pa., is married with two boys and one girl. Bill is with Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. Merle L. Dinse, 710 Governors Hwy., South Windsor, Conn., is a designer at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft and has three children, Linda, 13, David, 10, and Paul, 3.

Mac has managed to put together a 11Λstory Cherry Valley colonial house between Bradford, Pa. and Allegany State Park, with no help from anyone. In between hours spent in the building of a home, he has pushed a few papers around his desk at Kendall Refining Co., where he is project leader, research & development department. Mac specializes in petroleum work with some attention being given to lubricants. We asked for a photograph, got none, all because the single photograph on hand is punched full of holes. Maybe Bradley used it for a dart board. George Goldsborough has entrenched himself in Washington, D.G., at 2121 K St., N.W., where he is a partner in the law offices of Mehler, Goldsborough & Ives. A quote from November letter: "At the present time, as a member of the faculty of the George Washington University law school and chairman of its fund-raising drive . . ." So we have a practicing lawyer, a teacher, and a fund-raiser all wrapped in one. I'm pleased to see him in the latter capacity for GW, as it is another indication that more Classmates are recognizing the need for helping institutional fund-raising efforts. The Class will give him a vote of confidence. "Burghers, Shakes, 19*." That's what the red letterhead says. It's from Miami, Fla., where Jim McLamore is located. In all possibility he is running Florida Restaurants, Inc., at breakneck speed. The executive offices are located at 3051 Coral Way. Partner involved in this operation is Dave Edgerton '51.

'49ers were omnipresent at the Class officers and Alumni Fund meeting at the Hotel Roosevelt in New York, January 23. I saw or was told that Marty Hummel, Class President Chuck Reynolds, Pete Johnston, Don Geery, and Neil Reid were there. Dick Brown ended his term as Alumni Fundrepresentative by accepting a merit award certificate for the Class of '49 at the meeting. Thanks, Dick, for a terrific job! Just to prove that '49 is a great Class from every angle, or should I say curve, Marty Coler Risch accepted a similar job for the '49 women. Following the meeting, Pete Johnston, Marty Hummel, Walt Peek, Paul and Pris Bretschger, Walt Elliot^ Gene Von Wening, Tom and Jean Budd Jackson '45, and Ed and Char Moore '48 gathered at my house. The poor non-Cornellian wives suffered another night of "do you remember?" We had an interesting note from A. Sahap Yalcin.

This money is used largely for the expenses of printing and distributing the Class newsletter and also for certain pre-Reunion expenses like mailings. Lorraine has discovered that a number of Class members are uncertain whether or not they have paid their dues. "If they will write me a note (a postcard will do),I shall be glad to verify. And I am very honest," she claims. "I have returned several checks to very loyal Classmates who tried to pay their dues twice." The mailing address of our conscientious treasurer is Mrs. Gerald L. Klerman, 2544-A Holman Ave., Silver Spring, Md. The annual January meeting in New York of officers and Alumni Fund chairmen of all the Cornell Classes found Reunion Chairman Jay Miller Weber, Class President Anne Schnee Johnson, and Alumni Fund workers Midge Downey Sprunk, Pat Carry, and this correspondent huddled together at a single luncheon table, paying scant attention to the excellent planned program but busily chattering about Class business. (Midge Sprunk had offspring number three, a girl named Liane Jean, at the end of November. Where is the globetrotting Mari Lund Wright this year? Who's coming to Reunion?) From Boston, Mass, comes news of the marriage of Pauline B. Rogers to Hassell Sledd, December 27, in Saint Paul's Cathedral. But Polly sends narry a word about her husband nor any further information about herself, except to add that they are at home at 275 Marlborough St., Boston.

A Christmas note from Lynn White, 13 Kent Place, Amity Harbor, Amityville, reports that she is still teaching a class for brain-injured children. "There has been much publicity about the class. We have had many visitors, and I have had to speak at several meetings. After four years of summer school at Syracuse, I have finally received the Master's in Special Education. I am living in a beach house, the smallest house I have ever seen, crude, but with wonderful possibilities, and have hopes of going to Europe this summer." Dr. Jean Krag has been in Boston for three and a half years and likes it "pretty well, but sometimes I get pangs of longing for the West Coast. I am taking my second year of training in child psychology, and also work in a clinic that treats pre-school children, another clinic that treats older children, a court clinic where I treat delinquent girls, and also have five private patients/' Jean now lives in an apartment at 214 Riverway, Boston 15, Mass. —MARION STEINMANN 9 r/ί Men — Melvin B.

The couple will live in New York after honeymooning in the Bahamas. Season's greetings were received from many Classmates and,like one of the other Class columnists said, it's a good time to drop a note to me about your doings while you are engaged in addressing all those Christmas cards. Here are a few this issue. Dr. Dave Epstein, our Class Ithaca contact, sent greetings. I received several cards from Classmates showing pictures of their children, including Jean and John Roberts's three girls, Jack and Betty (Meng '51) HowelΓs son Bruce, and Jesse and Betsy (Zobell '51) Hannan's two boys and Cornell Alumni News a girl.

To help salvage this column from the annual mid-winter news dearth, General Howie David of the Cornell Fund forces has supplied us with an advance copy of the battle plan for his '53 regiment. Among the names of David's chief subalterns for the 1960 campaign appear the usual '53 warriors: Beyers, Derrickson, Engel, Glah, Jahn, Jung, MacRossie, and Pyott. Newly inducted into the mysteries of the moneygrabbers' organization are Lee Saperston, 85 Nottingham Ter., Buffalo, and Pete Eberlein, 3699 Stoneleigh Rd., Cleveland Heights, Ohio. The '53 guerrilla forces in the Middle West and Southern regions are still without regular army commanders. Any Classmates who would like to become senior officers in these areas may submit their credentials to David, c/o BBD&O, 383 Madison Ave., New York City 17, and may expect their battlefield commissions by return mail. This year's operation order shows that maneuvers will get underway earlier than usual. General David states that by launching a March attack he hopes that his forces will have most of their objectives in hand before they are slowed down by the mud of the spring thaws. Any men who care to enlist for the cause may send their names to David or this correspondent. Other exciting news is Class Treasurer Bob Abrams's report that some forty men responded to last fall's appeal for Class dues. At $5 per head, this just about covers the expense of making the solicitation, so the whole adventure set the Class treasury back by less than $50.

She writes from Haus Paumgarten, St. Anton/ Arlberg, Tyrol, Austria, and says, in part: "The trip has been absolutely beyond belief. I had booked a room here for the two weeks around the holiday season, but have so enjoyed this little town, I have decided to stay through at least until the end of January and very possibly until the end of February. The skiing is out of this world and fortunately the ski school, where I spend all of my time, the best possible." Dottie's itinerary has included Japan, Hong Kong, Bali, Thailand, India, Nepal, Ceylon (where she rode an elephant!), Egypt, Syria, Turkey, Greece, and Italy. Do you have a feeling that you haven't lived? I do! Dottie will probably be abroad until summer, so bear with me and keep the news coming.

He's full of news about our old friends. Stu's married. Right now he's running the officers' club at Ogden, Utah. He says the brass doesn't bother him. We suppose not. His wife, the former Nanci Simmons, Wells, was to have presented him with a child last summer, so you see how long this letter's been lost.

Ingrid Allermann, 106 Buchanan Blvd., Durham, N.C., completed her dietetic internship at Duke and then began working at the VA Hospital nearby. Skip is engaged to a Duke medical student, Charles C. Massey, Jr. of Charlotte, N.C. They plan to be married in early April. I had a nice card from Robin Bielski who is studying French phonetics, civilization, et al., at the Sorbonne. Her address, for the benefit of any traveling Classmates, is 225 rue St. Jacques, Paris, France. Jo (Fromm) and Tom Alger '58 are Californians now. Tom is studying for the Master's at Stanford graduate school of business and Jo is a research assistant at Stanford research institute. Their address is 784 Cambridge Ave., Menlo Park, Gal., and they would enjoy hearing from other Cornellians out there. Edith Salisbury and David Curkendall '58 were married in San Diego, December 19. Their address is 3265 Adams St., San Diego 16, Cal. Anita McKay and William F. Freeh, Jr. were married, January 16, in Athens, Pa. Betty Bortugno and Robert Hollis '58 were married, December 26, and left the USA to live in Portier, France. Suzanne (Davis) and Charles Hjerpe, Vet '58, are the parents of a daughter, Laura Suzanne, born December 30. Other new parents are Anne (DeNotaris) and Robert S. Warren '58, whose son, Robert Sidney II, was born November 24. The Warrens live at 80-15 41 Ave., Elmhurst 73.

Ramona Taylor lives at 684 Water St., Apt. 3F, White Plains, while working as a case worker for Westchester County and studying for the Master's in social work. '59 Men: Howard B. Myers 308 Mercer St. New Castle, Pa. Congratulations to Stanley M. Blau, who married Renee Sussman, January 24. Stan is undoubtedly basking in the sun in Mexico City, where he is spending a two-week honeymoon. From there he will report to Fort Bliss where he will attend the Officers' Missile School and Renee will settle down as an Army officer's wife for his six months' hitch. Stan also sends word that Paul Rosenberg is doing very well at NYU dental school. Paul will marry Maxine Schick, June 5. Esso Research Labs report that Max Dei- bert, now also a hangover in Ithaca, spent an interesting and rewarding summer with them in Baton Rouge, La. at one of the world's largest petroleum pilot plant centers. Later reports from California have confirmed the rumors that Joe Braff and Peter Arden spent their summer with the world's largest ditch digging crew there. All three are finishing up their somewhat sporadic student careers. Jim Hobson was a recent winner in the Writer's Digest of Cincinnati 1959 short story contest. Jim lives at 2919 N. Newcastle PL, Cincinnati, Ohio. Carl Leubsdorf, former associate editor of The Sun, also has made some contributions to the literary world to match those of the former editor of the Cornellian. Carl wrote a series of interesting and informing articles on his summer tour through the Soviet Union for The Sun. I ran into Carl about a month ago in New York where he is attending the Columbia school of journal- Cornell Alumni News ism and doing a little free-lance writing in his spare time. From the deep South I recently received letters from Jim and Mindy Herman and Arthur B. Malkin. Jim and Mindy now reside at 39 N. 25th St., Lawton, Ala., where Jim, awaiting his discharge with vigor, can't help but wish he was back home north of the Mason-Dixon Line. On the other hand, Timmy Malkin, after four freezing Ithaca winters, already writes with the style of a Southern gentleman. His residence is 128 Norwall Rd., Memphis, Tenn., just an outpost on the edge of the vast Malkin plantations. The cotton is growing and Timmy sounds contented. Pete Kellogg's note got to me quite late, Γm quite certain, after he graduated with honors from Mine Warfare School in Charleston, S.G. Pete's an ensign in the Navy now and his last address was given as BOQ Minecraft Base, US Naval Base, Charleston, S.C. Hank Stark sent a very military letter out of ROTC manual FM, something or other, with much information from Fort Sill. Hank was there with Hank Cohen, Gaines Post, Fred Haab, and someone named Craft. Somehow during his travels, Stark landed in Chicago and spent some time with Jim Grunsweig at Northwestern law school. Hank also ran into Tom Golden who had just finished a successful first summer with a stock company (theatrical, not financial) on Long Island. Tom is now with the Adjutant General Corps at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis, Ind., where he received a medal for excellence in scholastic achievement. Nat Cravener wins the prize for the most contributions to the column. Nat is now in the service with very interesting duty. He's spending a year studying economics at University of Stockholm. Nat may decide to stay a second year and get a Master's, and perhaps a Scandinavian wife a la Stephen Rockefeller, if his conversational Swedish picks up. He lives with a Swedish family outside Stockholm and would appreciate hearing from any and all of his friends. Address: Faltmars Kalksvagen, 12 Brommo, Sweden. Lenny Rubin also wrote from Europe. He is a med student at University of Basil, living at Colmaverstrasse 96, Basil, Switzerland. Lenny, the traveler, ran into Ricky Schloss's name on a Paris precinct blotter, but never got to see him. Anyone in that neck of the woods might give Len a buzz; he sounds lonesome. NECROLOQY '89 — Leonard Thurlow Beecher, PO Box 1506, Scottsdale, Ariz., October 9, 1959.
