First President Gets A Building WHITE'S UNPUBLISHED LETTER TO JOHN McGRAW Λ LETTER from President An-*~* drew D. White to John McGraw of Ithaca, a Trustee of the new University, written from Albany February 17, 1869, and hitherto unpublished, is among the Cornell memorabilia recently deposited in the University's Regional History Collection by Mrs. Gauntlett Whitcomb of Ithaca, who is McGraw's grand-niece. Written in longhand by President White, the letter presents persuasive arguments for the building of McGraw Hall at a time when only Morrill Hall had been completed and the walls of the "North University" building (later to be named White Hall) were being erected, with space thoughtfully left between the two for the "Library Building'7 about which the President wrote. McGraw Hall was actually completed in 1872, the gift of John McGraw, its cornerstone being laid by the Grand Lodge of Masons of the State of New York in June, 1870. President White's letter follows: Albany Feb. 17th, 1869 John McGraw Esq. My dear Sir I was much occupied here last week with our Trustee meeting, the State Agricult. Society, and various deferred University matters which seem all now happily settled. This week I am obliged to "lobby" a little for the University, to .get the bill for loaning us arms through the Senate. There has been a little difficulty owing to the wording of the Resolution but Whittlesey and myself can make it right, I think. I have never before been so satisfied of the success of the University as since our Trustee meeting last week. The reports of Mr. Schuyler, Mr. Cornell, and Mr. Woodward, the calm and thorough review which I was obliged to take for the preparation of my own Report, the evidences of interest and support in the Legislature and among the people at large, have cleared my mind of all doubt as to our success. I am more than ever convinced that I have acted for the best in throwing aside other ambitions and devoting myself to this noble enterprise and more than ever determined to carry the undertaking through. I know nothing better than to aid in developing such an institution for the State and Nation. Our income during the current year cannot, at the lowest estimates, be less than seventy-five thousand dollars. It will enable us to keep our Faculty along— not indeed on salaries so good as I hope we may give in future years—to clear up all important liabilities, and to complete the buildings already commenced. I hope too that it will enable us to stock and equip the farm and shops. We shall be able, I trust, next year, to employ more Professors and to increase all salaries which ought to be increased, beside erecting some simple farm buildings which shall put the Agricultural department in good working order. But there is one great drawback. We are terribly cramped and endangered by the want of a Library Building. We have the most valuable and practically useful Library in any American University save, possibly, that of Harvard University at Cambridge. We have over 20,000 volumes of the best and most costly works, and, what is the great point, the latest books in every department. We have such a collection of apparatus and models as no other institution in America has. We have just received a gift from the Government of Great Britain of an Agricultural Collection which puts us ahead of all competitors. We have one of the most perfect collections in Mineralogy ever made and one of the most valuable collections in Geology, and our collection of shells, if we can ever get a place to show it, will be seen to be one of the finest in the world, certainly the finest in America. Greene Smith has given us a beautiful collection of birds admirably mounted with costly cases in which to place them, and I have myself ordered in Europe a large collection of casts and medallions, over 2,000 in all, which alone will be a great attraction. We are also promised other things, among them some very interesting specimens of American Sculpture. We have all these and more than these, but we have no place for them. Much of this material has been boxed up in various places—but mainly in a building in which today there are thirty-two stoves under the care of Students—four furnaces and five stoves under care of servants and between thirty and forty kerosene lamps one of which has already exploded. These facts prompt me to refer to your noble offer of a building. Nothing could be more opportune, nothing more useful to us or more honorable to yourself. It would enable us at once to use and display all our books and collections and allow us to work with an ease which we cannot know for years unless this is done. We have kept our students too long already without proper library facilities, and it will be impossible to satisfy them much longer unless they see that provision is being made. It will remove from my mind the greatest burden upon it, the dread of disaster to our Library and collections. With this underway I could work ten times as well as I have done, and so could all of us. Acting upon your suggestion I have caused to be carefully prepared a building for the purpose stated, to stand at the South end of the row, thus giving you an opportunity of choice between that and the other plan and situation which I formerly submitted to you. It is a building, very beautiful, very simple, convenient and ample for all our books and collections for several years to come. On many accounts I prefer the original centre building, but this building now suggested is on some accounts to be preferred, and as it is smaller and more compact it will cost several thousand dollars less. Plans, elevations and sections with estimates are prepared to be submitted to you and I hope to take them to Ithaca next Monday. My heart and soul are in this thing, even more than they ever were before, and should you see fit to let us lay the corner stone etc. on or before April 14th— "Founders Day"—that being the anniversary of the passing of our "Act of Incorporation," I will at the same time you make your gift, add to it a gift of my own to the amount of at least ten thousand dollars. Without such a building as I have named we shall be crippled for years, since the funds we can apply to building purposes are limited by law—and indeed if they were not we ought to apply them to perfecting and increasing our instruction and equipment in various ways. With this building we can take rank among the foremost Universities. Stories of Cornell By FRANK A. WRIGHT '79 "White Dressed it Up" Professor Carl Becker's book, Cornell University: Founders and the Founding, recalls a story told to me several years ago by a well-known professor. He was out walking with President White. They stopped in Sibley to read the memorial inscription. "Did Hiram Sibley really say all that?" asked the professor. "Well," said President White, "I dressed it up a little." Imagine Senator Ezra Cornell and Senator* Andrew D. White at Albany, talking about things. Could Senator Cornell have said to Senator White, "I want a place where any boy and any girl can go and study what they darn please" and did Senator White "dress it up a little?" While all students in my time had a sturdy respect for the Founder, we realized very well how essential was the part played by Andrew D. White. This is the first of a series of " Stories of Cornell" contributed by Frank A. Wright 79, from his own experiences and long familiarity with the University. More of Wright's stories will appear in future issues.—Ed. I know of no better direction for public spirit. The McGraw Library assures success to the Cornell University. The mere fact of your gift will strengthen us from one end of the country to the other. We regretted not seeing you here at the meeting of the Trustees. My address was very favorably received, and the Senate did me the honor of adjourning to hear me. I regard you as responsible for the Address since but for your advice I should not have accepted the invitation. By the way if you happen to cast your eye over it, as published in full in the Weekly or Semi Weekly Tribune, don't hold me responsible for the many singular pieces of nonsense made in it by the printer. The feeling of the Trustees was excellent. The announcement of Goldwin Smith's intention of depositing his Library in the University gave great satisfaction. Please present my best respects and regards to Mrs. McGraw, Mrs. Benny [?] their Jenny and believe me Most truly yours And. D. White P. S. Our bill has passed the Senate after a prolonged debate on details, but in which hearty good will toward us was expressed by everyone. The final vote was unanimous. Two New Trustees G OVERNOR Thomas E. Dewey July 26 appointed to the University Board of Trustees Joseph P. Ripley '12 and Irving M. Ives, majority leader of the New York State Assembly. Ripley was appointed for a five-year term to June 30, 1949, succeeding George R. Van Namee '01 who had been a Trustee since he was first appointed by Governor Alfred E. Smith in 1925. Ives is appointed to fill the unexpired term, to 1945, of the late Horace White '87 who died November 27, 1943, having served on the Board since 1916. Ripley is chairman of the New York City investment banking firm of Harriman, Ripley & Co., Inc. and chairman of the board of Cramp Shipbuilding Co.; has been since 1942 a member of the joint administrative board of the New York HospitalCornell Medical College Association. He received the ME in 1912; was manager of rowing and won the Sibley Prize; is a member of Tau Beta Pi, Sphinx Head, and Beta Theta Pi. Ives was first elected to the State Assembly in 1930, was speaker in 1936, and has been majority leader since 1937. He is chairman of the joint legislative committee on industrial and labor relations which recommended establishment of the new School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell and a member of the temporary board of trustees which is planning the organization of the School. He is also chairman of the recently-organized State Commission on Racial and Religious Discrimination, of which President Edmund E. Day is a member. Ives received the 62 AB at Hamilton College in 1920; is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Theta Delta Chi. He conducts an insurance business in Norwich. Los Angeles Elects /CORNELL Club of Southern Cali^ fornia held its annual dinner meeting June 28 at the Mayfair Hotel in Los Angeles. Nineteen members were present, and Claude E. Emmons '12, president of the Club, presided. Officers elected for 1944-45 are Clifford J. Burnham '13, president; Elmer Rae '13, vice-president; and Burleigh A. Lum '13, secretarytreasurer.

Apropos of Last Cover To THE EDITOR: Should not your cover editor be shot at dawn on the Library steps and laid out on the slab where sit the four lazy louts who are not polite enough to rise while the lady chats with them?—N. D. B. '05. To N. D. B.—I guess we'll shoot the photographer, instead!—Ed. War Solves Mystery To THE EDITOR: Twelve years ago, when I was first exposed to the wonders of Cornell, I arrived in Ithaca a bewildered Freshman and through the kindness of Mrs. Grace was assigned a room in Lyon Hall, one of the newer dormitories. Soon thereafter, I was bewildered further by the constant cry, "Hey, Lovejoy!" which was heard at frequent intervals up and down the dormitory halls and even as far away as Baker. I never did get the significance of this yell, and have been looking for the day when your famous historian, Rym Berry, might shed light on the subject. Since recently I arrived at the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, Kans., a fellow student, Major Robert M. Lovejoy '32, has turned out to be the Lovejoy in question. The origin of the yell is tied up with a certain long-distance phone call; Lovejoy not being in his room, the most expedient method of locating him was used by his roommate. This "Hey, Lovejoy!" caught the fancy of the inmates of this section of the dorms, and many a night thereafter the cry echoed back and forth from many windows up and down the line. I just thought you might be interested in this yarn. Needless to say, like all other Cornellians, I look forward eagerly to the NEWS. —Major HENRY UNTERMEYER '36 Collection Grows Γ TNIVERSITY'S Collection of Re^ gional History hasreceived a set of old almanacs and newspapers, from Frank Luppino of Watkins Glen. The almanacs, totaling more than 100 in twelve different series, were published between 1851 and 1900. Sixtyeight up-State newspapers and periodicals, going back to the 1820's, include several issues of The Ithaca Republican, The Ithaca Journal and General Advertiser, and other Ithaca publications. A volume of photostated issues of The Pultneyville Commercial Press, 1862-69, has been given by Walter L. Todd '09 of Rochester, and George M. Gilbert of Binghamton has sent bound volumes of editorial pages from The Binghamton Press, 1905-08. Preserved in Boardman Hall and the University Library, the Regional History Collection is being constantly augmented by Whitney R. Cross, its curator, to give original source material on the history of up-State New York for the use of scholars. Shows Go On SUMMER Theatre, now in its twenty-first season, presented "Springtime for Henry" July 28-29 in the Willard Straight theater, with the original cast of last summer's production reassembled. Edward D. Eddy '43 of Ithaca and the Yale Divinity School returned to the scene of former triumphs and was better than ever in the role of Henry Dewlip, the reformed rake who backslides in the third act. Madelaine Ring '45 of New York City, as his secretary and ennobling influence, turned in another of her neat performances. And William Work '43 of Ithaca and Priscilla Dean '45 of Washington, D. C., were good Jelliwells again. The audience, which filled the house both nights, still likes its farce well done and certainly got it! A program of three one-act plays was presented August 4 and 5 chiefly by members of the summer classes in Drama. "The Hope Chest: a Mono- Cornell Alumni News drama of the Conscious and Subconscious" by Professor A. M. Drummond, asked the audience to "imagine the scene as chiefly in the mind of the Self." "Materia Medica," by Ryerson and Clements, concerned a school of nursing. Louise Kingman, Grad, of Framingham Center, Mass., made an excellent superintendent of nurses and Eleanor H. Porter '45 of Galveston, Tex., assisted her admirably in schooling four prim students and one giddy probationer. "Murder Is Fun!" was played all over the place, nine of the cast being "plants" in the audience. One dick, six suspects, a stiff, and a doctor peopled the stage. All had a wonderful time, including the onlookers. Frank A. Solomon '45 of New York City, as a timid soul with an amateur's skill in crime detection (based on his reading of detective stories), probably came off best, Bonded Reunions Gain BONDED REUNIONS of 1944 have brought to the University gifts of War Bonds and War Savings Stamps with total maturity value of $31,871.25, the Alumni Fund office reports. This considerably exceeds the first year of Bonded Reunions, when bonds and stamps of approximately $22,000 maturity value were contributed. The idea of Bonded Reunions was originated in 1943 by a committee of the Association of Class Secretaries headed by Dr. Lyman R. Fisher '28. Alumni were urged to purchase Series F or G War Bonds for Cornell University and send them in lieu of attending the usual Class Reunions in Ithaca, impossible in war time. The plan received the public endorsement of Henry Morgenthau, Jr. '13, Secretary of the Treasury, and of the late Joseph B. Eastman, ODT director, and has been adopted by many other colleges and universities. Chairman of Bonded Reunions this year was Robert J. Kane, '34 Class secretary and University Director of Physical Education and Athletics. Many Class secretaries and Alumni Fund representatives worked for the plan, and all undesignated gifts were credited to the University's unrestricted Alumni Fund. Some bonds, however, were sent as payment of Semicentennial Endowment Fund pledges and of pledges made to Class Memorial endowment funds. The Alumni Fund office is still receiving War Bonds as a result of this year's campaign. To date, men and women of the Class of '10 lead all other Classes, with gifts having maturity value of $6,209.

The track team, defeating Colgate, 90-35, on Schoellkopf Field August 5, scored its second straight victory. The baseball team played home and home games with Penn State, losing, 3-0, at State College July 29 and winning, 8-6, on Hoy Field the following Saturday. Team Swamps Colgate I N its victory over Colgate, the track team jumped into a 9-0 lead by sweeping the first event, the 120-yard high hurdles, and was never headed. Colgate did pull up to within 5 points after five events, as McGuire won the 100-yard dash and the 440-yard run, Elson captured the mile run, and Groh won the shot put. Thereafter, Colgate could gain only two more first places and was almost completely shut out of seconds and thirds. McGuire won the 220-yard dash, to top all individual scorers with 15 points, and Gow won the 880-yard run. In the field events, cut to six instead of the usual seven by omission of the hammer throw, Cornell scored 44 of the 53 points contested. One point went begging: third place in the pole vault. The point was not scored when one of Cornell's three entrants failed to clear the bar at the opening height. Co-captain James M. Hartshorne was Cornell's outstanding performer. He won his specialty, the broad jump, at 20 feet 10^ inches and shared a two-way tie with Richard Stouffer for second place in high jump. Then he entered and won the 220-yard low hurdles, an event in which he usually does not compete. His time was 0:26.9. In second place in this hurdles race was the pole vault winner, Francis Shaw. The team's other co-captain, Ferdi- nand Wascoe, javelin thrower and shot putter, was not able to compete because of illness. Malcolm Carsley followed Hartshorne in scoring with 9 points; 5 for first place in the javelin at 159 feet 2 inches, 3 for second in the shot put, and one for third in the discus. Shaw scored 8 points, and Stouffer, who also won the 120-yard high hurdles, tallied 7. Paul Robeson, Jr. '48 also scored 7 points with 5 for first in the high jump at 6 feet 1% inches, one for third in the broad jump, and one for third in the shot put. He also entered the javelin throw and placed fourth, only one foot away from a tie for third place. Best Cornell performance on the track was John F. KandΓs 10:07.8 victory in the two-mile run. Baseball Breaks Even BASEBALL team ran up against three-hit pitching in its game at State College. Raymond G. Pierce, first baseman, hit a double and Gordon J. MacDonald, second baseman, and Dewey Jones, pinch hitter, collected singles off Black, the Penn State pitcher. Alfred W. Rothermel, Cornell's pitcher, gave only seven hits and kept them scattered except in the fifth inning when a base on ball sand two singles filled the bases. Patterson, Penn State shortstop, doubled to score two runs. In the seventh inning, Kurowski's double scored the third run. Different was the word for the game at Hoy Field a week later. It was a free-hitting contest, with the score tied three times before Cornell finally went ahead in the sixth inning. Rothermel started pitching for Cornell, but was relieved by Frank Higgins during a Penn State uprising in the sixth frame. Higgins turned out to be the winning pitcher. Penn State scored twice in the first inning without hitting the ball out of the infield, weakened by the loss of Jack Cordes '47, shortstop, who was inducted. John M, Tully was behind the bat in place of the first-stringer, Frank Nolan, who was injured in the first Penn State game. Cornell tied the score on McDonald's single, a triple by Frank N. MeArthur, and another single by Pierce. Penn State went ahead, 3-2, in the second, and Cornell again tied the score on singles by Harold E. Gray and Tully and Rothermel's long fly to center. In the fifth, Cornell took the lead with two runs on successive hits by MacDonald, McArthur, Pierce, and Jones. Penn State tied the score in the sixth, on an error and two singles that filled the bases. Jones took Patterson's fly and threw out Bruhn at the plate on a double play, but singles by Kline and Kurowski scored two runs. Higgins opened the last half of the sixth by drawing a base on balls. McArthur slammed his second triple of the game, scoring Higgins, and came home himself on Pierce's single to center. Each team scored once in the eighth, Patterson of the visiting team counting on a steal of the plate. MacDonald scored for Cornell on a walk, a wild pitch, and Pierce's double to center.

Forty Years Ago August, 1904—Willard Straight '01 is an Associated Press correspondent in Korea, covering the Russo-Japanese War . . . Foundations for the new Goldwin Smith Hall of Humanities are nearing completion, and excavations have been started for the Rockefeller Hall of Physics. Thirty Years Ago August, 1914—Outbreak of war in Europe finds several members of the Faculty vacationing in dangerous territory. President Schurman, in Brussels with his family when war broke out, is now in London. Professors T. Frederick Crane and Othon G. Guerlac are reported in Switzerland, Herbert H. Whetzel and Harry H. Love in Germany, Heinrich Ries in Norway, Paul R. Pope, Frederick C. Prescott, and Laurence Pumpelly somewhere on the Continent. Ralph C. H. Catterall, professor of Modern European History since 1902, died August 2 in Huron, Mich., at the summer home of Professor William Lyon Phelps of Yale. Ithaca Street Railway's Car 305, which began its career in New York City's Park Row, Bowery, and Third Avenue, ended it dramatically by crashing to pieces on the rocks of Fall Creek gorge after a spectacular drop from Stewart Avenue bridge. The car's lone occupant was a dummy; two moving picture cameras registered the catastrophe for the Wharton Co. as hundreds of Ithacans looked on. Five Pass Bar Exams THREE graduates of the Law School June 17 and two who are candidates for the LLB next October successfully passed the June examinations for admission to the New York State Bar. Six Cornellians took the examination. A total of 113 applicants passed, of 232 who took the examination, according to the State Board of Law Examiners. Philip J. Wickser '08 of Buffalo is one of the three members of the Board. Among the new members of the Bar is Edward M. Smallwood '43, blind, who was an honor student in the Law School and co-editor of the Law Quarterly with Alvin D. Lurie '43, another successful candidate. Smallwood will enter the law firm of Colonel William Donovan in New York City. Donald P. Yust '43 also passed the Bar examination, as did Robert W. Gribben, who entered the Law School from the University of Rochester, and Alva W. Burlίngame from Duke University. BLIND STUDENT FOSSES BAR When Edward M. Smallwood '43 went to Albany last June to pass the Bar examina- tions, he was accompanied by his Seeing Eye dog, Gringo, pictured here watching anxiously when his master gave blood to a Red Cross unit in Willard Straight Hall while Smallwood was a student in Arts. Member of Phi Delta Theta, he received the IJLB last June; was co-editor of the Law Quarterly. Mrs. Smallwood (Charlotte Licht) '44 received the AB last February and has been registered in the Law School. 66 Books By Cornellians International Love Peace is the Victory. Edited by Harrop A.

"A symposium by thirteen religious leaders including Harry Emerson Fosdick and Oswald Garrison Villard who seek an abiding peace through the application of the love principle." Besides editing the volume, Freeman contributes a chapter on "A New International Law: Coercive or Responsive," the Preface, and a concluding chapter, "This is Victory." He received the AB in 1929, LLB in 1930 and has been professor of international and constitutional law at the College of William and Mary; is now registered in the Graduate School as a candidate for the degree of Doctor of the Science of Law. Garden Health Pest Control in the Home Garden. By Louis Pyenson, PhD '35. The Macmillan Co., New York City. 1944. xiv + 190 pages. $2. Dr. Pyenson has been since 1938 instructor in plant protection at the New York State Institute of Agriculture at Farmingdale, and Halsey B. Knapp '12, director of the Institute, writes a Foreword to his book. This is a complete and useful manual for amateurs, illustrated with more than 100 of the author's photographs showing insect and disease injuries to fruits and vegetables and telling in plain terms how to prevent and control them. It has useful chapters on spraying and dusting equipment and materials, one on animal pests, another on beneficial insects and animals, and an important chapter on "Possible Health Hazards in Your Garden." Women in War Lincoln's Daughters of Mercy. By Marjorie Barstow Greenbie '12. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York City. 1944. x 4- 211 pages. $3. This is the story of the US Sanitary Commission, ancestor of the American Red Cross, and of the Civil War women who went into army camps, field hospitals, and the battlefield itself to establish practically all those agencies which today are ministering to the modern soldier's welfare around the world. The heroines of this bookj Cornell Alumni News who instituted army nursing, kitchen police, mobile canteens, hospital ships, and soldiers7 clubs, are the predecessors of today's WAGS, WAVES, Army, Navy, and Red Cross nurses, USO hostesses, and American Women's Voluntary Service workers. Mrs. Greenbie's book is a series of biographies. Each chapter deals with one woman's part in the Givil War. Together, they tell a story of sacrifice and achievement which is particularly timely today, when recruiting posters for the various women's services have become a part of the daily scene. Lincoln's Daughters of Mercy are ancestors to be proud of. Truth About Russia My Lives in Russia. By Markoosha Fischer. Harper & Brothers, New York City. 1944. 269 pages. $2.75. Mrs. Fischer was registered in the Summer Session in Agriculture in 1920, as Bertha Mark. She writes that she revisited Cornell one summer Sunday in 1940 and that "it gave me great pleasure to see again the Campus for which I have kept a warm feeling forever." Born in czarist Russia, she saw the revolution of 1905, studied music at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, attended finishing school in Switzerland and the University of Lausanne. Attracted back to Russia at the outbreak of the first world war, she left a year later for neutral Copenhagen, and came to America in 1916. After a year and a half in Berlin and at conferences in Genoa and The Hague as translator and assistant to Soviet officials, she went to live in Moscow in 1922 as the wife of Louis Fischer, American newspaper correspondent from Philadelphia. This book is an unvarnished, circumstantial account of Mrs. Fischer's life in Soviet Russia under Lenin and Stalin until concern for the future of her two sons and her own shattered hopes brought about her departure in 1929, "with great pain in my heart." Her story brings out the good that is in Russia and the hopes and aspirations of the Russian people under the shortcomings of Stalin's early regime. "Nothing but the truth about Russia can restore honest, clear thinking about that country and give us an understanding of Russia's role in the future," she says. "If this book helps to end the name-calling that is part of all current discussions in Russia, if it shows that there is good in Russia and bad in Russia, and that we may admire the good and beware of the bad—I will not regret the heartache with which I wrote these pages." August 75, 1944 Study Air Conditioning RESEARCH looking toward improving the efficiency of air conditioning has been carried on since January 1, 1943, in the College of Engineering through a cooperative arrangement with the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers. Under direction of Professor Charles 0. Mackey '25, Professors Roy W. Clark '12 and Lawrence T. Wright, Jr., PhD '42, of the Department of Heat Power Engineering and Abbott A. Putnam, Mechanical Engineering, are conducting studies of the flow of heat through the walls and roofs of buildings and its influence on summer cooling and air conditioning of interiors. They are analyzing summer weather records of outside air temperatures and solar radiation to obtain data for design and construction of buildings and air conditioning systems, and have thus far completed studies of the weather in New York City and Lincoln, Nebr., for the years 1932-41. Carlyle M. Ashley '21, director of development of The Carrier Corp., Syracuse, and Professor Emeritus Friederich E. Giesecke, Grad '94, of Texas A & M College are membersof the Society's committee on research which arranged for the project with the University. Scientists Wanted PERSONS with scientific and technical training are urgently needd for war research and teaching, according to a bulletin from the Office of Scientific Personnel of the National Research Council. Greatest shortages exist in the fields of physics, mathematics, geophysics, and engineering (especially electronics, communications, electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineering). Trained geologists, bacteriologists, and physiologists are also needed. Persons trained in these fields or experienced in research or applied science, who are or may be available for employment, are requested to communicate with Dr. M. H. Trytten, Director, Office of Scientific Personnel, National Research Council, 2101 Constitution Avenue, Washington 25, D. C. Margaret Thompson, assistant to the Dean of Women, 1935-40, is in China with the American Red Cross. WAVES OF NAVY SCHOOL CELEBRATE ORGANIZATION'S SECOND BIRTHDAY The thirty-one WAVES who are members of the "ship's company" of the Naval Training School here cut a huge birthday cake in Sage College July 31, celebrating the second anniversary of the founding of their organization. Wielding the knife is Lieutenant (jg) Zelma Dowdey, USNR, of Birmingham, Ala., disbursing officer for the School. Two officers in center are Commander Edmund C. Burke, USNR, recently detailed here from Ohio State as executive officer, and Captain Burton W. Chippendale, USN, commanding officer. Next is Ensign Helen C. Jackson, USNR, of Nelsonville, Ohio, personnel officer and Women's Reserve representative. Twenty-nine enlisted WAVES work in the disbursing, supply, and dental offices of the School and do many other jobs to release enlisted men for sea duty. Two are pharmacists mates, one a hospital apprentice, two apprentice seamen drivers, and the rest have ratings as storekeepers and yeomen. —Ithaca Journal photo 67 Cornell Alumni News FOUNDED 1899 3 EAST AVENUE, ITHACA, N.

Navy Men Change SIXTH class to enter the US Naval Reserve Midshipmen's School at the University arrived August 4. About 200 apprentice seamen for deck training and twenty-five for engineering checked in at the Baker dormitories, many coming from the fleet with their sea bags on their shoulders. After a month of indoctrination, they will be sworn in as midshipmen and upon completion of the four-month course they will be commissioned ensigns in the Reserve. Bailey Hall was again filled with friends, relatives, and midshipmen July 26 for graduation of the second class of 184 ensigns to be commissioned from the Midshipmen's School. Professor Richard T. Gore, University organist, played the processional. Invocation and benediction were pronounced by Captain William W. Edel, USN, senior chaplain at the Sampson Naval Training Center, and the graduates were addressed by Captain Harry A. Badt, USN, commanding officer at Sampson. Captain Burton W. Chippendale, USN, commanding officer of the School, spoke briefly and administered the oath to the new ensigns, most of whom"will shortly go to sea after brief special training. Unlike the first class which graduated June 24, few of these officers were undergraduates at Cornell.Prizes made possible by the staff officers of 68 the School, members of the University, and Ithacans were a watch and sword to Ensign Donald Saulgair, from Harvard, honor man of the class and highest in the deck course, and watches to Ensigns Richard W. Westberg, graduate of the University of North Dakota, for highest honors in engineering, and William K. Griffis, graduate of University of Texas, for highest military aptitude for Naval service.

Williams '25, has written about job prospects after the war to approximately 4,500 Cornellians who are known to be in the armed forces. His letter points out that the Placement Service offices in Ithaca and New York City, and through alumni placement secretaries in many of the Cornell Clubs, are keeping in touch with business and industry with a view tς placing Cornellians returning from the services after the war. He reports that personnel directors will look to the colleges for records and help in employing exservice men and women, and encloses a reply card inviting alumni to state their preferences for jobs. Carrying on and adapting the work which it started several years ago, the University Placement Service is collecting these records to enable it to be of maximum use to alumni who wish to return to new jobs when the war is over. Cornellians in the armed forces who have not received the letter and card can obtain them by writing the University Placement Service, Willard Straight Hall, Ithaca. Coming Events Notices for this column must be received at least five days before date of issue. Time and place of regular Cornell Club luncheons are printed separately as we have space.

Although the local heat wave reached its height that day (105 degrees in the sun), Beebe Lake, Fall Creek Gorge, and other favorite swimming holes, usually thronged with civilian students and service men, were deserted. Housing report from the Counselor of Students: Risley Hall, Comstock A, and ten University cottages were vacated by some 500 women August 12, as the Summer Session ended. 649 undergraduate women and 135 graduate and special students remain for the full summer term, filling all of Balch, Comstock B, a few cottages, and eleven sorority houses. Summer Session lecture by Professor Harold W. Thompson, English, on "Two Heroines of New York State's Tradition," July 31, celebrated Sojourn Truth and Harriet Tubman, Negro generals of the Civil War underground railroad. Professor Thompson introduced Mrs. Emma Brown Galvin, PhD '43, who uncovered much of the source material for the lecture, including the locations of several Ithaca stations on the underground railroad. The same evening, in the Brud Holland Gymnasium of the South Side Community Center downtown, Paul Robeson, Jr. '48 spoke on "My Life in Russia." Other lectures: "USA and USSR," by Professor Frederick L. Schuman of Williams College, August 7; and "The Role of Local Citizens in Stabilizing Our Wartime Economy," by James E. Mendenhall of the OPA, August 9. Russian visitors to the Campus, July 29-31, were Olympiada Grigorevna Tronova, attractive secretary to the Russian Consul General in New York City, and Captain Orest Shevtsov of the Russian Army, in this country for the Anti-Fascist Committee of Soviet Youth. Both attended sessions of the "workshop" on Soviet education, part of the University's contemporary Russian civilization programs, and spoke on the war's effect on education in Russia. Miss Tronova was a member of the student contingent sent by the USSR to Columbia University two years ago. The twenty-three-year-old Captain, wearing the uniform and decorations of the Red Army (including the Order of the Red Star, won in August 75, 1944 1941), described his part in the battles of Borodino and Malo-Yaroslavets, where the armies of both Hitler and Napoleon were finally checked. Russian War Relief, Inc., Ithaca Branch, has collected two tons of clothing to date, three-quarters of which has already been shipped to Russia. Mrs. Ernest Merritt, AM '26, wife of Professor Ernest Merritt '86, Physics, Emeritus, succeeds Mrs. Harold A. Kazmann (Frances Bayard) '19 as chairman of the Ithaca branch. Waste paper collection in Ithaca July 30, enlisting 125 volunteer salvagers and thirty-four trucks, netted ninetyfive tons of scrap, enough to fill five freight cars. Starting Sunday morning at 8, after free breakfast served at the Ideal Restaurant downtown, the collectors swept the entire city and township clean of paper by noon. Aftermath of Ithaca's most successful salvage drive was a letter signed by six ministers, protesting against "the unwarranted invasion of the Lord's Day." This touched off a heated controversy, carried on in "Letters to the Editor" of The Ithaca Journal, which used up paper enough to make a good start for a new collection. Canadian broadcaster Armand Berube of Montreal was a student in the Summer Session this year. Sent to Cornell by the Canadian Broadcasting Co., he studied Rural Sociology under Professor Walfred A. Anderson, PhD '29, and expects to return next summer. He is director of the "Le Reveil Rural," CBC's farm and home hour, which he organized in 1938. "Anyone interested in social science, as I am, comes naturally to Cornell University," says M. Berube. "The country here is much the same as my country; your Lake Cayuga is like the St. Lawrence, only the water flows not so swiftly." SUMMER BULLETIN made its appearance August 12; ten issues are scheduled, one each Friday. The University Calendar, which has been published separately since The Cornell Bulletin suspended for the summer, June 23, is reincorporated in The Summer Bulletin. Editor-in-chief of the new publication is Apprentice Seaman Robert A. Webster, USNR. Sylvia R. Siegel '46 of Newark, N. J., is managing editor, and Seaman Jay L. Miller, USNR, is business manager. WHCU, Cornell's radio station, has been cited in the seventh annual radio station promotion survey conducted by Billboard, show-business weekly, for doing "a rural job in a crisp, commercial fashion." One of seven clearchannel winners, WHCU received special mention for its promotion of Rym Berry's Sunday morning program for Babson Bros. Co. Servicemen's Center at Barnes Hall, which has 200 co-ed hostesses registered for dances four nights a week, moved outdoors one hot night last week, blocking Sage Avenue to all but twosome traffic. Secretary's Office reports that 3,172 undergraduates have been granted leave of absence by the University to enter the armed forces.. This number does not include all those who have simply left for military service without getting leave. Albany Times Union July 9 recalls that the era of intercollegiate rowing on Saratoga Lake preceeded that of Poughkeepsie by twenty years. First intercollegiate race ever won by a Cornell crew was at Saratoga, July 14, 1875, when thirteen six-oared shells went the three-mile distance. Clarence H. Knapp '00, former mayor of Saratoga, wasn't born yet by two years, the newspaper points out, but his father dolled up his fleet of coal trucks that day, charged a dollar for transportation, and cleaned up. New "practice baby" has arrived at the College of Home Economics. At the time of his enrollment, Dickie was eleven weeks old and weighed eleven and a half pounds; he is of ItalianFrench descent and will probably be adopted by an approved family upon his successful completion of the course. His predecessor, David, eight months old, is awaiting adoption at a foster hpme in Canandaigua. Practice baby Ann, who came before David, was adopted by a Navy man and his wife. State Police Sergeant John Kelly retires August 16, after twenty-three years with the force, plus two with the Field Artillery in France during the first war. Sergeant Kelly, who has been stationed in Ithaca most of the time since 1924, is known to many Cornellians, especially for directing traffic at football games and crew races. With Mrs. Kelly, he plans to remain at home, on the Danby Road. 69 Necrology '75—Edward Bausch, chairman of the board of Bausch & Lomb Optical Co., July 30, 1944, in Rochester. The son of John J. Bausch who established the Bausch & Lomb Co., manufacturers of eye glasses, in 1856, he left the University after three years in the Optional course to join the company. He was a pioneer in the American manufacture of microscopes, starting their production when Germany had almost a monopoly, held many patents for their improvement, and helped place the instrument within the economic range of almost every student. In 1887, he invented the iris diaphragm shutter which led to popularization of the snapshot camera. Bausch became vice-president of Bausch & Lomb in 1899, and was elected president following his father's death in 1926. In 1936, he received the gold medal of the ASME "for meritorious mechanical developments in the field of optics."

The following are random observations taken from his letters home: "May 11 at 11 p.m. all hell broke loose. We opened up on the Germans with artillery, guns on trucks, tank destroyers, and many boats off shore. . . . The Germans very much surprised when we came over the mountains. We packed a lot of stuff on our backs and on mule train . . . [The English] will stop a battle to make a cup of tea and that's a fact. They wear khaki shorts; and they have powerful legs, march well, and are good infantrymen. . . . Pop, send me your definition of inflation; there has been much discussion of the subject here . . . June 12, we pulled into a rest camp. We have covered about 125 miles. It has been a fast pace and we need rest. This is the first time I've had my clothes off and a bath for over a month. . . . I got a pass to go to Rome and had a wonderful time. . , . The Pope talked to the soldiers for a few minutes; first in English and then in French. He thanked us for freeing Rome and hoped that the world would be more peaceful in the future and that we would return home to our loved ones. . . . Although I am a Protestant I believe I was as impressed with the mass in St. Peter's and seeing the Pope as most Catholics would be. . . . It is something I will always remember."

Y. Please mention the CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS Lem something from i\\is fe/ίow / jour War THE BEST THING a bulldog does is HANGON! Once he gets hold of something,it's mighty hard to make him let go! And that's the lesson about War Bonds you can learn from him. Once you get hold of a War Bond, HANG ON TO IT for the full ten years of its life. There are at least two very good reasons why you should do this. Oneis a patriotic reason ... the other a personal reason. You buy War Bonds because you know Uncle Sam needs money to fight this war. And you want to put some of your money into the fight. But...if you don't hang on to those War Bonds, your money isn't going to stay in the battle. Another reason you buy War Bonds is because you want to set aside some money for your family's future and yours. No oneknows just what's going to happen after the War. But the man with a fistful of War Bonds knows he'll have a roof over his head and 3 squares a day no matter what happens! War Bonds pay you back $4 for every $3 in 10 years. But, if you don't hang on to your Bonds for the full ten years, you don't get the full face value, and... you won't have that money coming in later on when you may need it a lot worse than you need it today. So buy War Bonds... more and moreWar Bonds. And then keep them. You will find that War Bonds are very good things to have ... and to hold!
