THE CHARLELSATHROPACKFoundatlon Forestry Prize of $50 for 1925 has been awarded to N. Gardiner Bump '25 of Binghamton Neale R . Hamilton '25 of Warrensburg received honorable mention. These prlzes were established in 1924 by Charles Lathrop Pack of Lakewood, Xem Jersey, "to aid in training foresters to write artlcles which will arouse in the public an interest in forestry and an appreciation of what forestry means to the country, and so be of service in fostering the forestry idea " Bump wrote under the title "Tom Jones Investigates Prosperity." He was last year editor of T h e Cor?lell Cotcntry7nnrz. OPENRUSHING will be indulged in next fall, as a result of a resolution adopted a t a meeting of the Interfraternity Council. There are a few regulations: trains may not be met, and the freshman may be entertained a t the fraternity houses between the hours of ten in the morning and ten a t night only; but it is called open rushing since pledging may be made a t any time after the morning of registration. Wellington R. Burt '26 of Battle Creek, Michigan, was elected president of the Council; William Burke, Jr., '26 of Washington, vice-president; and Harry H. Morris, Jr., '26 of Augusta, secretary. R. E. DOHERTYc,onsulting engineer for the General Electric Company, addressed the Ithaca Section of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers on May I. His subject was, "Some Problems in Long Distance Transmission." THETHIRD ANNIVERSARY of the opening of the Empire State School of Printing was celebrated on May I by the instructing staff and members of the school. Ross W. Kellogg '12 is the director of the school, which was founded by the New York State Publishers' Association and so far has graduated more than one hundred students. The support received from State newspapers has steadily increased in that time. THE CORNELCLHEMISTBoard for next year will be headed by John R. Hoy '26 of Oil City, Pennsylvania, as editor-in-chief.

INA HUNDRED YEARS Tompkins County will look like the Black Forest if all the trees that have been planted by local residents in response to Governor Smith's plea live. Fifteen thousand trees have beep put out in Tompkins County during the week, with many more to be planted. Most of these now being put out are pine and spruce, of which it takes about one thousand to plant an acre. These are furnished by the State Conservation Commission at very little cost. A FIRE OF ORIGIN as yet unknown did ronsiderable damage on May 3 to a frame building on Ridgewood Road, formerly occupied by Omicron Alpha Tau, but vacant since last fall. As the fire started on the roof of the porch, the Fire Chief believes that a cigarette or lighted match must have been thrown out of one of the upper windows, and he believes that a party of some kind must have been going on in the supposedly vacant house. 390 C O R N E L L A L U M N I N E W S To Break Reunion Records Secretaries of Fifteen-Year-Old Classes Cover Country to Get Members Back in June The classes of '09, '10, ' I I , and ' 12 will be back a t Ithaca in force next month for a real test of the Dix Plan of reunions This plan of bringing back at one time classes which were contemporary in college has proved so successful that it is each year becoming increasingly evident that the new idea is established But next month, when these four classes are in Ithaca on June 12, 13, and 14, will give an excellent opportunity to judge horn. well the arrangement works when five or six hundred contemporaneous men and women reune together. At their fifteen-year reunion a year ago Bob Treman, Queenie Horton Sailor, and their cohorts in '09 established new high figures for Cornell reunions The even two hundred whom they registered a t the Drill Hall represents a mark that will be hard to beat. This year the Class is out to beat its own record, a t the same time that it shows the way to '10, which celebrates its fifteenth, and to '11 and '12. Of the twenty-one classes that will be back this June, probably no two have had so much publicity as have the members of '09 and '10. Treman is again sending out frequent editions of T h e Back-to-Ithaca Gazette, which proved so seductive a lure last year, Mrs. Sailor is arousing the ' ~ 9 women with frequent bulletins, while Andy Whinery in '10 is bombarding his Class with copies of T h e Nzneteen Tent The men of '09 have a comprehensive committee covering the entire country, with Walter M. Goldsmith and Gustav J Requardt as sub-chairmen under Treman, and Fay H. Battey as treasurer. Geographical chairmen have been appointed as follows: Grandon D Gates for New England, Goldsmith for the RIetropolitan district in and around New York, R. Van Alan Clark for the Hudson River district, Creed W. Fulton for Central New York, Richard E Bishop for Pennsylvania, Richard Bragaw for Detroit, Robert K. Caldwell for the Chicago district, Frederick A. Rice for the Pacific States, Requardt for the Southern district, H . Clifford Reed for Ithaca, and Batteg for Buffalo. Requardt is also chairman of the special fraternity committee. I n answering to the question "What is 1910 doing?" Whiner? replied in part as follows: "One copy of The h'zneteen Tent was mailed about a month ago Another copy is now in the press and will be mailed a t the end of this week A personal letter has been sent by me to every member of the Class except those in the immediate vicinity of New York, urging them to attend the reunion.

Geographical rommittees have been appointed and the names of the various men in the organizations or territories have been sent to the chairmen of the various committees. I am constantly now receiving word from these chairmen that these letter? have been mailed. A follow-up letter will be sent to each one of the chairmen before the twentieth of >fay. "I am writing personal letters to approximately two hundred of the Class, urging them to write to at least four members of thc Class, with a further request that they urge each one of these four to write to at least two more, including in each letter a strong appeal for the reunion. "The issue of T h e Nineteen Tent which is now being printed will request the members of the Class to advise me if they expect to be present, and I confidently expect that I shall receive affirmative replies from not less than three hundred Without having made such a request, I have already received volunteered information from approximately one hundred men that they will be on hand. All in all, the prospects are very promising and I am quite optimistic as to the reunion. I am also writing a letter to each Ithaca member of the Class, asking him to write to at least ten men, urging them in the most hospitable manner to come hack and enjoy the delightful experiences of the reunion party in Ithaca." ' I I and '12 are geared up to give '09 and '10 a real battle. Details of their activities Herbert Snyder '16 disagrees with the letter signed X. Y. 2, which appeared in our issue of April 16. Snyder played .on the 1915 football team which beat Harvard 10 to o and Pennsylvania, 24 to 9. He is a son of Professor Virgil Snyder. His letter, written from the Valley Ranch School at Valley, Wyoming, follows: "In the NEWTfor April 16 there was a most interesting letter on college athletics in general and on Cornell athletics in particular. I t may have been a gentle leg-pulling, but the writer's thesis, that the competitive epirit engendered in athletics, being highly desirable to the individual engaged in modern business, should be more actively encouraged by Morrill Hall, is one that deserves some answers, even this feeble one. "First, I may say that I agree with the thesis, but I don't see that the means suggested would attain the end desired. "Thc people in the stands are not engaging in athletics in the remotest sense. The mere act of howling approval of a good play does not, I submit, make the howler a more appreciative participant in team play. I have observed that, to take football as an easy example, it is the dashing half-back who receives the plaudits of thc mob for a long run and not the faithful lineman who, opening the gap in thc enemy defenses, gives a much finer example of real team-play. The crowd a t a football game takes on, more and more, the aspects of the mob at a gladiatorial affair in ancient Rome There, someone was hired to fight; here, a few are enticed to train and fight in just as stirring a combat.

"Cheering doesn't win games; it's hard play that does it!" "P. S.-The foregoing is not especially important, being only my sentiments. But it seems to me that Monsieur X. Y. 2. has forgotten that athletics are for the undergraduates, and not all a t for the puffiingup of the vain pride of the alumni.

Golly! how 1 hated the alumni when I was an undergraduate! I know I am being traitorous, but no one can get me out here, where I have a good horse and know most of the trails." h CLUB ACTIVITIES Finger Lakes, New York About seventy alumni from the four Western New York counties of Seneca, Yates, Wayne, and Ontario met for dinner a t the Seneca Hotel in Geneva on May 6, and voted to form the Finger Lakes Cornell Alumni Association. The gathering included representatives of most of the classes between '73 and '26. John S. Gay '01 presided and Creed W. Fulton '09led the singing of Cornell songs. He called on Judge DeVoe P. Hodson '77, who told of his experiences as a young man in Ithaca, where he lived during the early days of the University. Other speakers were Harold Flack '12, Romeyn Berry '04, and R. Warren Sailor '07 who had come up from Ithaca, and told of affairs about the Campus. The gathering voted to hold three or four such meetings a year and elected Henry 0 . Palmer '07 president and Thomas I. S. Boak '14, secretary-treasurer. Cornellians in the four counties are asked to get in touch with Boak a t 19 Troy Street, Seneca Falls, so that the:, may be notified of the next meeting. The president appointed one representative of each county to serve as directors of the new association. They are George C. Perkins '93, Newark; Clarence R. Andrews '08, Penn Yan; Nathan D. Lapham '95, Geneva; and Louis H. Hodd ,9R, II a11n. Yonkers The annual dinner of the Yonkers alumni association will be held on Monday, March 18, a t the Abbey Inn. Dinner will be a t seven-thirty. Judge William F. Bleakley '04 will preside, with R. W. Sailor '07, editor of the ALUMNI NEWS, as principal speaker. Southern California Women The second and third meetings of the year of Cornell women in Los Angeles and vicinity have been held a t Ye Bull Penn Inn, Los Angeles. At the meeting in February 14, Margaret L. Stecker '06, president of the Federation of Cornell Women's Clubs, was guest of honor, and gave a most interesting account of Cornell affairs a t Ithaca and intermediate cities visited while she was en route to California. The Club a t the meeting held May 2 adopted the name "Cornell Women's Club of Southern California" and voted to affiliate with the Federation.

Rochester In his talk before the Cornell Club of Rochester on April 29, Professor Floyd C. Fairbanks of the University of Rochester pointed out that many of the predictions made for the recent eclipsewere confirmed. The talk was illustrated with photographs. One photograph of the corona showed a structure which had been more or less predicted even though no eclipse had been observed. Another photograph of the shadow edge over Few York Cit,y disclosed the fact that the predicted and actual path very nearly coincided. York-Lancaster The York-Lancaster County Cornell Club was organized at an enthusiastic meeting of some twenty Cornellians held a t the Stevens House in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on May 5. The meeting was in the nature of a get-together and banquet. Daniel B. Strickler '22 was toastmaster. The president and secretary of the Cornell Club of Philadelphia, C. Rodman Stull '07 and Frank A. Gerould '15, hrought messages of the University to t,he alumni present. The speaker of the evening was Dr. George H. Ashley '89, State geologist a t Harrisburg and prcsident of the Cornell Club of that city. Officers for the year were elected as follows: Daniel B. Strickler '22, president ; Howard F. Bollinger '18, secretary; and Thorne C. Hulbert '21, treasurer. The Club plans to get together quarterly, twice a year in York and twice a year in Lancaster. The next meeting will he in York during the latt,er part of August. 1904 MEN PLAN REUNION Following a period of inactivity lastlng many years, members of the Class of 1904 are thoroughly awake and are preparing plans actively for class reunions a t Ithaca in I927 under the Dix plan and in 1929, which will be the 2j-year reunion. The first public demonstration was a dinner held in New York on May 4, at which 46 members of the class were pres- ent. Walter S.Finlay, Jr., who is chair- man of the General Reunion Committee of the class, acted as toastmaster. There were no formal speeches, but a number of the men told of personal experiences and a general spirit of good fellowship prevailed. Bingo Wells, Petie Patterson, Harland Tibbetts, and others said a few words. I t was decided a t the meeting that this is to be but the first of a series of get-together dinners to be held during the next several years whose main purpose will be fostering the "back-to-Ithaca" movement Much credit for the successful carrying out of the arrangements was due to Chairman Jay B. Odell, Jr. and the local committee, who have made persistent efforts to get in touch with all members of the class. Anyone in the New York district who has not yet received a notice is requested to write to Mr. Odell care of theWestern Electric Company, 195 Broadway A Dark Day with a Few Bright Spots Saturday was a disastrous day for Cornell athletic teams. The crews, in their first races under Coach Lueder, finished in fourth place in all three events on the Charles; the baseball team was defeated by Ohio State a t Columbus; the lacrosse team lost an Intercollegiate League match to Hobart a t Geneva; the freshman track team was beaten in Ithaca by the Pennsylvania yearlings, and the freshman basel~allteam lost to the CoIgate cubs. In track Cornell lost to Pennsylvania, but the closeness of the score, and the fine showing by some of the Cornellians furnished the one rag of hopein the whole day's performances. As against these defeats one victory was chalked up to Cornell's credit, the tennis team winning from Washington and Lee on the home courts by a score of 7 to 2. The dual meet with Pennsylvania on Franklin Field was so closely contested that its outcome remained in doubt until Pennsylvania won first places in the last two events, the pole vault and hammer throw. Weakness in the two-mile run, in which Cornell is usually strong, and in the broad jump, really lost the meet. The Cornell team gave by all odds its best performance of the year. In almost every case, the Cornell entries did better than they had ever done before. Russell was the outstanding performer. He defeated George Hill, intercollegiate sprint champion, in the 100-yard and the 220yard dashes Russell won the hundred in 8 9/10 seconds and equalled the intercollegiate record of 21 115 seconds in the 220. Werly, a sophomore, ran the best race of his career to win the 440-yard dash in502/5seconds. Coykendall took the halfmile run in I :59 415. I t was his best race so far. Cornell also won the mile handily, Termohlen coming in first and Glick second. Another notable Cornell performance came in the pole vault. Although Penn's great star Sherrill set a new record of 13 ft. inches, and won first place, Greening and Bontecou of Cornell did brilliant work by clearing 12 ft. 9 inches and tying for second place. Greening had never done better than 12 ft. 3 inches before. Booth did better than expected by pressing Wolf all the way in the high hurdles. In the weights Pennsylvania was superior, hut there were some promising Cornell performances. Wolkowitz w o ~th~e shot put, with a put of 44 feet; Caskey was second in the hammer throw, with 154 feet 4 inches, Bowen was second in the discus throw, his mark of 132 feet 8 inches being only 3 inches short of that of the winner, Coleman of Pennsylvania, Fitzgerald a dark horse finished third in the javelin throw, his mark of 171 feet being 20 feet better than any he has made in practice. In short the team showed competitive spirit of a high order, and its work was thoroughly encouraging. Lose Baseball to Ohio State Ohio State downed Cornell at Columbus on Saturday by a score of 4 to o. Captain Rllssell Miller of the Buckeyes held Cornell to six scattered hits. Only three men faced Miller in all but two innings. Cornell played only mediocre ball, mixed with an occasional bright play. Only one Cornellian reached second base. Two Ohio State men crossed the plate in the second frame Tarbert, first up, reached the initial ~ a c kwhen Rossomoildo's throw was wide. Walther flied to Grove and Dempsey struck out. Brasher singled to left, scoring Tarbert, and took second on the throw-in. Miller was safe a t first on Groves' bad throw while Brasher stopped at third. On an attempted double steal, Brasher scored, but Miller was (.aught between first and second. In the sixth, Dempsey singled through Rossomondo, stole second, - took third while Miller was being put out and scored on Klee's single. The last tally came when Miller hit the first ball pitched in the inning over second for a single. Matusoff also hit the first ball pitched to deep center for a triple and the only extra base hit ofthe game, scoring Miller. Cornell Crews in Last Place The crews made a disappointing showing in their debut a t Cambridge Saturday, but it would be a mistake to make hasty judgements. Obviously none of thecornell eights was sufficiently prepared for the speedy competition that short-distance races nowdays develops. They were unable to match the speed of their rivals and soon after the start in each race Cornell began dropping behind. Reports from Boston do not suggest demoralization; they simply weren't fast enough. This year's rowing effort and the new coaching system should be judged a t Poughkeepsie.' Harvard won t)he varsity race after a stirring battle with Pennsylvania. The Red and Blue eights won the junior varsity and freshman races, after spirited contests with Harvard. M. I. T. was third in all three races and Cornell fourth. Harvard won the varsity race over a mile and three-quarters course, by about three lengths; Cornell in fourth place was over ten lengths behind the Crimson. Times of the varsity race: Harvard 9:1 I, Pennsylvania 9:22, M. I. T . 9:40, Cornell 949. The Pcnasylvnnin freshmen, over the Henley distance of a mile and five-sixteenths won by a length over Harvard. Pennsylvania's junior crew won by three lengths over Harvard. M. I. T, was a good third and Cornell six lengths back of the leader. This race too was rowed over the Henley distance. Water conditions were bad, and rough water held up the first racc until 7 o'clock. CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS 393 Tennis Team Wins The tennis team defeated Washington and Lee by a 7 to'z score Saturday, on the home courts. Freshmen Lose in Track Winning ten 'fist places out of fifteen, the Pennsylvania freshmen defeated the Cornell freshmen in a dual track meet on Schoellkopf Field Saturday afternoon. Dern of Pennsylvania jumped six feet in the high jump, and also won the shot put. and discus throw. Spelman of Cornell ran a beautiful race in the 220-yard low hurdles. Pennsylvania was superior in the sprints and runs, but Cornell made a good showing in the field events. Hobart Wins in Lacrosse Hobart earned the right to contest the lacrosse championship of the Northern Division with Syracuse Saturday by defeating Cornell in a hard fought contest, 7 to 4. Cornell gained an early lead when Herman penetrated the Hobart defense for a goa.1three minutes after play started, but, the count was soon evened, Vogt putting one of his left-handed slants past Stainton. The Orange and Purple took the lead a minute later when Chapman drove the ball into the net from a distance of five feet after Stainton had been drawn out of the crease. Hobart was not headed again. The Genevans scored again ten minutes later when Cole put the ball past the Cornell goal. Chapman scored his second goal of the game three minutes after Cole registered to end the Hobart scoring in the first period. Herman, Cornell first attack, scored before the half ended, to bring the count to 4-2. three races. Cornell men axe pretty low in their minds this Monday morning. The disaster is too complete to invite speculation with regard to the cause of things or the future. The only thing to suggest is to bite the lower lip firmly and go in again. I t can be pointed out that there are many rowing days between now and the 22nd of June and that Cayuga Lake still has lots of water left in it.

Y., MAY 14, 1925 THE ENDORSING OF TRUSTEES IT is a well known fact that there are two principal reactions on the subject of endorsing the candidacy of alumni trustees. Many alumni will endorse any candidate, others none. A few must know the candidate intimately and favorably before lending the weight of their signatures. There are several reasons for the perennial gathering of endorsements. The endorser is expected to vote for his candidates. A well known endorsement is s u p posed to influence others to endorse. Under no theory of trustee politics is the list of names assumed to indicate a spontaneous demand on the part of these persons for the candidacy. It is almost universally the result of a painstaking effort by the nominating or steering committee, or by the campaign manager, to depict a real demandfor a given candidate. Any ten names would be adequate. We beliete that procedure of this sort, while not strictly sincere, is justifiable. We have no intention of crusading against it. We are glad to endorse candidates and appreciate the subtle flattery of the opportunity if and when presented. On the other hand the ALUMNNI EWS,as a publisher of alumni news, is annually faced with the problem of setting a limit to the number of such names in the sketches of the candidates. Space is too valuable to waste in this manner. If unresistedthe demand might require several columns, having ranged in the past from a nominal number up to as high as several thousand. This year all three campaign managers have bcen moderate and cooperative. I t is therefore possible, without pointing at anyone's campaign as an example, to take a stronger standin the matter. We announce, then, as a new practice of THE CORNELALLUMNNI EWS,that hereafter we shall not publish the names of endorsers of alumni trustee candidates in these columns. James I. Casey '91 James Irving Casey died in Utici, N. Y., on June 8, 1924, following a heart attack and complication of diseases. He was born in Mohawk, N. Y., on January 22, 1871, the son of Dr. James E. and Mary Bellinger Casey. After attending school in Mohawk, he came to Cornell in 1887as a student of the artsandsciences, . and graduated in 1891 with the degree of A. B. He then took up the study of law and in 1895was given the degree of LL.B. He was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa and the Cornell Classical Association. After leaving Cornell, he practiced law for about eight years in Mohawk and in 1903 removed to Utica. After a time he became a member of the law firm of Jones, Townsend & Casey, which became one of the foremost in that city. He was the Utica attorney for the New York, Ontario & Western Railway and a charter member of the Yahnundasis Club of Utica. On November 27, 1901, he was married to Miss Gertrude M. Hunt of Utica, who surviveshim with three children, Dorothy, Virginia V. S., and Robert H. Hunt Casey. Amzi Smith, Jr., '02 Amzi Smith, Jr., one of the leading electrical engineers of the South, died at his home in Johnson City, Tenn., on April 2, following a brief illness of kidney trouble. He was born in Laurel, Md., on March 5, 1880, the son of Amzi and Hannah Van Patten Smith. After getting his early education in Washington, D. C., he came to Cornell in 1898as a student of mechanical engineeringand remained for one year. He was a member of Alpha Delta Phi. After leaving the University, he served one year as levelman for the United States Geological Survey, then became a meter tester for the Potomac Electrical Power Company in Washington. After a year he became a cable tester and then for three years he was a solicitor for the company. In 1906he went to Johnson City as general managerof the Watauga ElectricCompany and the Johnson City Traction Corporation which later became the Tennessee Eastern Electric Company. At the time of his death he was vice president and general manager of the latter company. He was a member of the National Electric Light Association and the American Electric Railway Association. On April 23, 1902, he was married to Miss Mildred M. Crystal of Washington. She survives him with a son, Crystal Smith, and two sisters, Mrs. Carrie Schreyer of Milton, Pa., and Mrs. Edith Hawes of Washington, besides a brother, Frank Smith of Boston, Mass. The Browning Concordance A Concordance to the Poetical Works of Robert Browning. By Leslie N . Broughton, Ph. D. '11, assistant professor of English in Cornell, and Benjamin F. Stelter, Ph. D. '13, professor of English in Occidental College, Los Angeles, Calif. New York. G. E. Stechert & Co. 1924. Volume I. A. L. 30 cm., pp. xiv, 1270. Price for the set of two volumes, thin paper, $35; ordinary paper, $45. The first volume of the long-awaited Concordance to Browning has lately appeared, and the editors are to be congratulated both on the approach of the completion of their labors and likewise on the very handsome appearance of the initial volume. The German ~rinters have done a good piece of work. The work of compilingthis monumental opus was begun by something over a hundred collaborators, many of whom were Cornellians, in 1914, and the manuscript was completed in July, 1916. For a long time, and especially because of the War, the problem of securing a publisher proved impossible of solution. The willingness of the firm of Stechert to undertake the tremendous risk necessarily involved is worthy of note and deserves the highest commendation. Printing was begun in December, 1922. The greater part of the burden of proofreading, something over two thousand pages, has fallen to the lot of Dr. Broughton. This gigantic task is now practically completed and the second volume should appear shortly. The complete work will contain nearly 2,700 pages; with the possible exception of Strong's Concordancd to the Bible it is the largest work of its kind, and is about one-third as large again as Bartlett's Concordance to Shakespeare. There are about five hundred thousand entries. For example the entry God fills 15 columns; each, 14 columns; if, 25% columns; heart, 9% columns; hand, 7% columns; indeed, four columns. A glance through its pages reveals many interesting facts about the poet's choice of words and it will prove an invaluable book for those who wish to engage in serious research concerning this matter. It is the third attempt of its kind; the first resulted in the very modest Phrase Book; the second failed completely. A prominent Browning scholar has remarked, in a letter to the editord: "The tremendous work that you have CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS Published in the interest of Elec- be helped 3y what- But the whole team doesn't play first base 'l'o suppose that a baseball nine will all cover just one position is as far from the truth as t o think that everyone in the electrical industry is an engineer. This field will always need trained engineers. But with its great manufacturing, construction and commercial activities, the industry must have non-technical men too. Since the industry is manned by many types, the result of your work will depend a good deal on the success with which you team up. The qualities that win itre not only efficiency attained by the light of a study lamp, but that all-pull-together spirit of the athletic field. This point of view may be useful to the man who has wondered whether campus activities, with all their striving and steh testing, their setbacks and their triumphs, have any counterpart in after life.
