CORNELL ALUMNI VOL. XXXVII, NO. 15 ITHACA, NEW YORK, JANUARY 2./\y I 93 5 NEWS PRICE I 5 CENTS COUNCIL REPORTS GIFTS Alumni Fund Mounts As the Cornellian Council begins its twenty-sixth year, Archie M. Palmer '18, executive secretary, reports that during the six months ending December 31, 1934, 1,590 alumni have contributed $24,681.58 to the Alumni Fund. Since its first meeting, March 5, 1909, as a 4' bureau for the collection of an alumni fund for the support of the University," the Council has served as the medium through which alumni have made their contributions to the financial support of Cornell. Experience shows that most alumni and friends of the University make their gifts during the late winter and spring months, so it is to be expected not only that the number and amount of contributions will increase shortly over the past six months' period, but also that the relative standing of the classes may change with respect to amount given and to number and percentage of contributors. For the period now reported, the Class of Ί o leads in amount contributed, with $1,488.00. The Class of 'zz is second with $1,1x8.19; ' ^ *s ^ i r d with $1,084.79; and the others of the ten highest are '2.3 with $1,069.34; 'z4 with $1,046.34; '85 with $1,040.00; 'zi with $1,0^7.58; '90 with $990.00; 'z6 with $964.90; and '05 with $905.75. The Class of 'zz ranks well toward the top in all three classifications, being first in number of contributors and second both in amount given and in percentage of its members who have given to the Fund. Because of their larger number, it is to be expected that the classes of the twenties would lead in number of contributors, but Ί z appears among the first ten with 73, tied with 'Z3 for fifth place. 'zz had 95 contributors; 'Z4 was second with 90; 'zi had 8z; 'z6 was fourth with 80. Seventh place went to 'zo with 67 contributors, followed by '2.5 with 57, and *Z7 and 'z8 with 53 each. In percentage of their total living membership who contributed to the Fund during the six months, the Class of '85 ranks first with 6.45 percent, 'zz had 6.17 percent, followed by 'zi with 6.05 percent, and by Ί z as the fourth on the list with 6.03 percent of its members contributing. The others of the first ten classes in this tabulation are '24 with 5.9Z percent, '80 with 5.68 percent, '78 with 5.56 percent, 'z6 with 5.5 percent, Ί i with 4.94 percent, and '94 with 4.87 percent. President Farrand has repeatedly declared that the annual gifts from alumni through the Alumni Fund have been an indispensible part of the University's income, and that without this assistance the work of the University would be severely handicapped. " T h e steady flow of annual contributions to the Alumni Fund," says Palmer, attests the unswerving loyalty of alumni and their continuing interest. The Cornellian Council enters upon its second quarter-century of service with justifiable pride in the record of alumni giving at Cornell and with unqualified confidence in the continued support of the alumni.'' NEW ATHLETICS COMMITTEE The appointment of a new committee " t o consider the organization of the athletic interests of the University," as authorized by the Board of Trustees, was announced January 15. It will hold its first meeting in the President's office in Morrill Hall on January z6. The committee is composed of two representatives of the Faculty, two Trustees, and four alumni representatives. Chairman Frank H. Hiscock '75 has appointed Colonel John B. Tuck '93 of Syracuse and Robert E. Treman '09 of Ithaca to represent the Trustees. President Farrand, who is chairman of the committee, has appointed from the Faculty Dean George Young, Jr. '00, Architecture, and Professor Hugh C. Troy '95, Dairy Industry; and for the alumni, C. Reeve Vanneman '03 of Albany, Dr. Floyd S. Winslow '06 of Rochester, Andrew J. Whinery Ί o of Newark, N. J., and William J. Thorne Ί i of Syracuse. Pending the recommendations of this new committee, athletics will continue to be administered by the Trustees' committee on athletic control of which Professor Herman Diederichs '97 is chairman and Comptroller Charles D. Bostwick '9Z and Professor Donald English are members. KATE GLEASON MEMORIAL Henry D. Sharpe, Rhode Island engineer and manufacturer, has presented to the Providence Engineering Society a fund in memory of Kate Gleason '88, the first woman who took engineering at the University. Miss Gleason entered the University in 1884 for a special course, remained one year, and returned for further work in 1888. She died in December, 193Z. The Kate Gleason Fund is a legacy of $1,000 which Sharpe had received from Miss Gleason. The income is to be used for the purchase of engineering periodicals for the Providence society. COSMOPOLITAN CLUB Thirtieth Anniversary Thirty years ago, on Founder's Day, • January 11, 1905, the Cornell Cosmo- politan Club formally opened its first quarters, rooms leased at 313 Eddy Street, near Buffalo Street. By that time the Club, organized the previous fall, had seventy-five members, citizens of more than twenty countries, including the United States. Now, under an amendment to the Club's constitution, women students for the first time are admitted to active membership and are given representation on the executive committee. The first woman to become a member of the committee is Meda E. Young '35 oί Palmyra; others will be elected in March. On December 6 the Club elected to active membership thirteen women; on January 8, eight more. It has a number of women residents of Ithaca, members of the Faculty, and wives of Faculty members as associate members. The Cornell Women's Cosmopolitan Club disbanded last year. Soon after the University opened in 1904, a group of Latin-American students, with the enthusiastic support of Modesto Quiroga, M.S.A. '05, and Professor Thomas F. Hunt, organized the Club. Its first officers were William A. Reece '04 of New Zealand, president; James N. Lorenz '05 of Ohio and Kuei Ling Wu '05 of China, vice-presidents; Christian R. A. Bues '06 of Germany, secretary; Fernando Aleman '07 of Buenos Aires, assistant secretary; Frederick D. Colson '97 of the College of Law, treasurer; with Quiroga, Abraham A. Freedlander '05 of Buffalo, and Professors Hunt, Everett W. Olmsted '91, George P. Bristol, and Frank A. Fetter as trustees. As pointed out in an article by Freedlander in the Cornell Era for June, 1904, the principles of the Club had included from the first not only to welcome to membership students from foreign countries, but Americans as well; and to make this the first of an Association of Cosmopolitan Clubs, which would have chapters in many other universities. A New York newspaper, mistakenly supposing the Club to be for foreign students only, had opposed it editorially on the ground that foreign students should be encouraged to mingle with the others. Such interchange of knowledge and ideas was the fundamental idea of the Club; of its hundred members at that time, about half were American citizens. The Club's international nights have been regularly CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS enjoyed since its founding as integral parts of Campus life. In 1907 the Association of Cosmopolitan Clubs was organized at the first convention in Madison, Wis., by eight chapters, many of whom had adopted practically the constitution of the Cornell club. Manuel B. de Almeida '09 and Frank D. Mitchell '04, then a graduate student, were delegates from Cornell and were active in launching the affairs of the new Association. In December, 1909, at a convention in Ithaca, the Association was affiliated with the International Federation of Students, known as " Corda Fratres." By March, 1911, the present home of the Club at 301 Bryant Avenue was partially occupied, contributions to the building fund having been made by President Andrew D. White and by many alumni, both members and nonmembers. The Club's dining room was open, and the old rooms on Eddy Street were given up. During the summer of 1933, through the interest of some forty Ithacans and members of the Faculty who were members of the Cosmopolitan Club, the International Association of Ithaca, Inc., was formed with the purpose of increasing the contribution of foreign students to the social and cultural life of the community. The Association took over the operation of the Club building, which was redecorated and renovated, and brought to Ithaca, as executive director, John L. Mott, a Princeton graduate and son of John R. Mott '88. Mr. Mott was also made assistant to the Dean of the University Faculty in charge of foreign students, and his residence at 5 Grove Place was made the headquarters of the Association. The directors of the International Association were Dean Floyd K. Richtmyer '04, chairman; William C. Andrea, treasurer; D. Boardman Lee '2.6, secretary; William A. Boyd, Professor Dwight Sanderson '98, L. Alva Tompkins, Jr. 'x4, and Professor Julian L. Woodward 'zz. Many members of the Cosmopolitan Club have achieved prominence, among them Leonard K. Elmhirst 'zi, whose wife, the widow of Willard Straight '01, is the donor of Willard Straight Hall. ON FRIDAY, January Z5, Professor Harold D. Smith, University Organist, gives a recital in Bailey Hall, and on Sunday afternoon Willard Straight Hall presents Gudmundur Kristjansson, Icelandic tenor. PI TAU PI SIGMA, honorary society in the signal corps of the ROTC, held its initiation banquet in Willard Straight Hall in full dress military uniform, and heard Professor Vladimir KarapetorT, Lieutenant Commander, USNRF, describe current conditions in Russia.

Moore of the Department of Rural Education at a dinner on January 4. The group, consisting of alumni and eight or ten students from the secondary schools interested in going to college, met at the Omaha Club. Judge John W. Battin '86, president of the Club, presided. CHICAGO CLUB SPEAKERS At the regular luncheon of the Cornell Club of Chicago on January 17, William W. Welsh, Michigan '12., described his experience opening and operating a branch in Russia of the National City Bank, six months under the Czars, the entire period under Kerensky, and for nearly a year under the Bolsheviks. On January 10 the speaker was J. Dillard Hall, manager of the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company, central division, who discussed automobile accidents and the regulation of drivers' licenses. STUDY ICE CONE A peculiar ice-cone formation at the foot of Taughannock Falls this winter and last has been found by Professor LorenC. Petry, Botany, and his daughter, Ruth '37, to be caused by certain conditions at the falls which are probably not duplicated elsewhere. During last winter's sub-zero temperatures, the cone reached an estimated height of one hundred feet, and in a recent cold spell it grew upward five feet in less than twenty-four hours. The cone has a crater or bowl in its top sometimes five feet deep, with a solid bottom that builds up with the cone. It has been observed that the small volume of water coming over the falls in its 1-15foot drop becomes practically a mist which freezing temperatures convert into slush ice before it reaches the bottom. This slush ice piles up and freezes harder around the edges of the crater, and a constantly shifting stream flows down the outside. These observers have come to the conclusion that the conditions necessary to result in such a formation are: a straight drop, not too much water in the stream, a height of more than one"hundred feet, and temperature fifteen degrees or below. CORNELL DAY MAY 11 To Entertain Schoolboys The second "Cornell Day" is set for May 11, 1935. About five hundred representative students from leading perparatory and high schools will be entertained for a week-end on the Campus. The alumni committee on relations with secondary schools, of which William J. Thorne Ί i of Syracuse is chairman, will be responsible for bringing the students to the Campus. Their entertainment here will be sponsored by the senior societies, Quill and Dagger and Sphinx Head, with the cooperation of Scarab and other honorary societies, and Ray S. Ashbery '15, alumni field secretary, will serve as general chairman coordinating the activities of these two committees. Registration of the guests will begin on Friday evening, May 10, and the boys will be housed and entertained at the various fraternity houses. The final schedule for Saturday has not yet been arranged, but the visitors will be guests of the Athletic Association that afternoon at a league baseball game with Princeton on Hoy Field. Last year six hundred guests came to the Campus on May 12.. A crowded schedule, which included lectures, tours of the Campus, smokers, a track meet, a rally in Bailey Hall, and a dance in the Drill Hall, gave the visitors an experience which elicited many enthusiastic letters. Of the six hundred who came, 2.10 were seniors in preparatory and high schools and were eligible to apply for admission to the University. Of these eligibles, 108, more than half, are now registered in the freshman class. DESCRIBE NEW COURSES The first two courses in regional planning to be given by Professor Gilmore D. Clarke '13, as announced in the ALUMNI NEWS of November ix and November 2.9, are described in an announcement from the College of Architecture. Beginning with the second term, which opens February 11, the College announces: "Course 710. Principles of Regional Planning. Throughout the year. Credit two hours each term. Registration limited to 50. Open to graduates and upperclassmen in all colleges of the University. A general view of the history and practice of large scale planning. Lectures, assigned reading and examinations. Occasional lectures will be given by members of other faculties and by outside lecturers selected because of their special experience and skill in certain phases of planning." "Course 711. Seminar in Regional Planning. Throughout the year. Credit one hour each term. Investigation of assigned topics on particular aspects of the subject with emphasis on regional planning. Registration limited. Open to students in all colleges of the University by permission. This course should accompany Course 710." Two subsequent courses of more limited scope will first be offered in 193536. Both are of two hours credit each. The one to be offered in the first term of next year is described as a Seminar in Park Planning and the other, to be given in the second term, is a Seminar in Parkway, Freeway, and Highway Planning. Both are to be given by Professor Clarke. TORONTO HEARS DURHAM Professor Charles L. Durham '99 was the speaker at a meeting of the Cornell Club of Toronto on December 17. The members of the Club, together with some representatives of schools in Toronto and vicinity, met for luncheon at Simpson's Arcadian Court. William Rae '89, president of the Club, presided. COLLEGE NEWS APPEARS A new publication on the Campus this year is College News, an eight-page semimonthly newspaper delivered free to students. The editor is Frank Albanese '35 of Newfield; the publisher, the Rural News of Dryden. College News carries news of the University, editorials, features, fiction, and a goodly amount of advertising of the merchants of Collegetown, which is the territory near the Campus end of Eddy Street and College Avenue. CORNELLIANS SAVE BILOXI The shrimp and oyster industry of Biloxi, Miss, is saved, and harmony reigns again among the fisherman and the canners of this river town whose leading industry was threatened when labor difficulties promised to result in the withdrawal of government inspection and so destroy the market for its principal product. That peace has settled in Biloxi is due largely to the efforts of Lester A. Blumner '30, publisher of The Daily Biloxian, and at least partially, so it is said, to the discovery by Blumner and Dr. Herbert B. Switzer Ί i of the Federal Food and Drugs Administration that both were Cornellians. The final conference, at which Dr. Switzer and John R. Steelman, commissioner of conciliation of the Federal Department of Labor, brought harmony between the canners and the fishermen, was held in the Biloxian office. "We'll never underestimate college connections and friendships again," says Norman L. Matson, columnist of the newspaper. Dr. Switzer and the publisher of The Daily Biloxian learned by accident that they were both graduates of Cornell University. As small as it seems, that little fact helped negotiations in settling the shrimp inspection problem tremendously. The two men spent almost as much time discussing the 'Big Red Team,' the old Dutch Kitchen, and CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS Zinck's, as they did the problems facing the sea foods industry." Blumner was one of those who perpetrated the "Hugo N. Frye" hoax in 1930; the other was Edward T. Horn '31, now pastor of the Lutheran Church in Ithaca. It will be recalled that Blumner, then retiring editor of the Sun's Berry Patch, and Horn, the incoming editor, sent out invitations to a dinner to honor this sturdy patriot who, they said, was a founder of the Republican party in New York State and the originator of the slogans, "Protection for our prosperity" and "Freedom in the land of the free." They received many letters of congratulation from those in high places, including the Vice-President of the United States, which were read at the annual Berry Patch dinner. The hoax received wide notice in the newspapers and was discussed on the floor of the Senate. The idea was born, according to Horn, when Professor Martin Sampson mentioned a similar hoax perpetrated by a French newspaper on the Chamber of Deputies. STATE BOARD REPORTS The first formal report of the State Planning Board, submitted at Albany January 14 and signed by Provost Albert R. Mann '04, chairman, recommends the gradual purchase by the State of six million acres of unproductive farm land and its addition to the State-owned domain, be used for public recreation, lumbering, watershed protection, and other "economic and social uses." The report is based on the first comprehensive survey of the land areas of the State ever to be made. According to Provost Mann, that survey revealed that something like one-sixth of the land area in its present condition is a liability rather than an asset. Yet potentially it is a great resource, the value of which will be shared by all the people when the land is put to the economic and social uses for which it is naturally suited and which the people can enjoy. The abandonment of farms in certain sections, too largely attributed to the lure of the city for the younger men, became significant at least fifty years ago, and it has been progressing at the average rate of 100,000 acres a year ever since for the excellent reason that the land, after the timber had been removed, would not support a farm population and was not adapted to modern agricultural methods. EUGENE EN-JUNG FAN of Tungsien, Hopei, China, now a graduate student at the University, is the originator of the only privately owned radio broadcasting station in China. While teaching school near his home he conceived the idea of broadcasting agricultural information to Chinese farmers, and from his home-made transmitting set has grown the present station, which broadcasts regularly three times a week. CLEVELAND CLUB I. T. Frary, membership and publicity secretary of the Cleveland Museum of Art, gave an illustrated talk o n ' ' Thomas Jefferson—Architect and Builder," at the regular meeting of the Cornell Club of Cleveland January 17. FORM YACHT CLUB A new organization, the Cornell Yacht Club is projected by undergraduates of the University. It hopes to have sailing dinghy races on Cayuga Lake, to hold competitions each June for places on the crew to represent the University in the intercollegiate yacht races, and possibly to arrange for representation in the intercollegiate outboard motor boat races. The Cornell crew which sailed in the intercollegiate yacht races last June at Marblehead, Mass, comprised A. James Moxham '37, son of Commodore Egbert Moxham '04 of the Manhasset Bay Yacht Club, Briton H. Richardson '37 of Northport, Britton L. Gordon '36 of North Muskegon, Mich., and Paul Makepiece. None of these is now in the University, but William A. Drisler, Jr. '37 of Bronxville and Jesse A. B. Smith, Jr. '37 of Stamford, Conn, are promoting the new organization. SIGMA XI PAPERS Professor Henry B. Ward, formerly national secretary of Sigma Xi, is compiling the early publications of the society, with the promise that if six complete sets can be obtained, one will be placed in the University Library. Sigma Xi was founded at Cornell in the fall of 1887, through the efforts of Frank Van Vleck, then assistant to the director of Sibley College and instructor in charge of the mechanical laboratory, and William A. Day '86. The other founders were William H. Riley '86, Charles B. Wing '86, Harry E. Smith '87, John Knickerbacker '87, John J. Berger '87, Edwin N. Sanderson '87, William A. Moscrip '88, Professor Henry Shaler Williams oί the Department of Geology, who in the spring of '86 had organized a society of fourteen geology students with much the same purposes. Professor Guy E. Grantham of the Physics Department, secretary of the Cornell Chapter, will forward to Professor Ward any of the eleven wanted publications which may be sent to him. Those desired are: Sigma Xi. The Preamble and Constitution. Signed by nine original student members. Ithaca, N. Y., 1887, 13 pp. The Organization of the Scientific Society of the Sigma Xi, by Frank Van Vleck, J.

COLLEGE LETTER WINNERS The percentage of Varsity letter winners last year among the students of the various Colleges has been recently compiled by the Cornell Daily Sun. Its survey showed that in the Department of Hotel Administration, 5.88 percent of the 153 students had won Varsity C's; in Agriculture, 4.76 percent; in Engineering, 4.2.7 percent; in Arts and Sciences, 4.ox percent. Fifty-one awards were given to Arts students, ΔfL to those in Agriculture, 36 to engineers, and 9 to those in Hotel Administration, according to the Sun. Awards considered were for football, cross-country, baseball, track, wrestling, hockey, soccer, basketball, lacrosse, tennis, and crew. Agriculture had five of the seven letter-winners in cross-country and the most letter men on the soccer team with five of the eleven awards. Engineering had four who won soccer letters. Agriculture and Arts each had five of the thirteen baseball awards; and in crew Arts and Engineering shared honors with five each. ECONOMISTS LEAD Four of the twelve men selected as the outstanding economists during 1934 by Jules Backman and A. L. Jackson, vicepresidents of Economics Statistics, Inc. are Cornellians. Heading the published list is Professor George F. Warren '03 of the Department of Agricultural Economics, "because he was the author of the famous and now defunct gold-buying policy." Next comes Edwin W. Kemmbrer, PhD '01, who was assistant professor and professor in the Department of Economics from 1906 to 1912., "because he is the most prominent, articulate, and learned of the anti-inflation school of monetary thought." Third is James Harvey Rogers, who was assistant professor of economics here from 1910 to 1913, "because he was Dr. Warren's associate as monetary adviser to the administration and because he was sent on a trip to the Orient to study the silver problem." Professor Harold L. Reed, PhD '14, of the Department of Economics is selected "because his analysis of the defects of the commodity dollar was an important contribution to the JANUARY I935 5 clarification of loose thinking on the subject." The other eight named are Rexford G. Tugwell and H. Parker Willis of Columbia, Jacob Viner of University of Chicago, Lewis H. Haney and Walter E. Spahr of New York University, O. M. W. Sprague of Harvard, Irving Fisher of Yale, and J. Maynard Keynes of Great Britain. TO REPEAT PINAFORE In response to popular demand, the combined musical forces of the University will again present H.M.S. PinafoVe. An afternoon performance oί the Gilbert and Sullivan opera will be given in Bailey Hall February 7, and an evening performance February 8 as one of the events of Junior Week. As for the first performances, December 14 and 15, the production will be directed by Professor Paul J. Weaver, head of the Department of Music, assisted by Professor Alexander M. Drummond, George L. Coleman '95, and Mr. and Mrs. Eric Dudley. The same cast will take part. FOUNDERS DAY MEETINGS Founder's Day celebrations, in honor of the birthday of Ezra Cornell, were held by several of the clubs. Reports have been received from the Cornell Clubs of New England, Washington, and the Women's Clubs of Philadelphia, New York and Washington. The Cornell Clubs of New England, of the men and of the women, met at the Hotel Bellevue in Boston for luncheon on January 10. Dean Dexter S. Kimball was the speaker. Walter P. Phillips '15, president, introduced William G. Starkweather '92. as toastmaster. The Cornell Club of Washington, also with the men and women combining, had the annual Founder's Day dinner at the Hotel Lafayette on January 11. The speakers included Dr. Willis R. Gregg '03, Chief of the U. S. Weather Bureau; Dr. Leland O. Howard '77, distinguished entomologist; Henry M. Eaton '90; and Dr. William A. White, director of St. Elizabeth's Hospital. Alonzo B. Cornell great-grandson of the Founder, responded briefly. August H. Moran '17 was toastmaster, introduced by Edward Holmes '05, president of the club. The Cornell Women's Club of Philadelphia met for dinner on January 11 at the College Club. Professor John G. Jenkins '2.3 of the Department of Psychology was the speaker. Dean Floyd K. Richtmyer '04 of the Graduate School spoke at the annual meeting of the Cornell Women's Club of New York, at the Hotel Barbizon on the evening of January ix. The meeting of the Cornell Women's Club of Rochester was a luncheon at the University Club on January 12. with Foster M. Coffin '12., Alumni Representa tive, as the speaker. ALUMNI UNIVERSITY Committee Invites Opinions The Faculty committee on the proposed alumni university has tentatively suggested a program for next June, and now invites communications from alumni before making final decision and recommendation. The October convention of the Cornell Alumni Corporation unanimously recommended that the establishment of an alumni university next June be given consideration. The committee has been studying the successful alumni colleges and alumni universities of other institutions, and believes that Cornellians also may wish to re-establish connection with the intellectual life of the University and to live on the Campus again as students for a few days. As tentatively arranged, the program for Cornell's first alumni university would call for probably four days of classes in the week following reunions and Commencement. Reunions are scheduled for Friday to Sunday, June 14 to 16. Commencement is on Monday, June 17. It is proposed to open the alumni university on Tuesday, June 18, continuing through Friday, June 2.1. Cornell men and women, with their families, would be invited to enroll as students for those four days, living in the University dormitories, dining together, probably in Willard Straight Hall, attending lectures and discussions led by members of the Faculty. The general subject of the week would be the consideration of current social, political, and governmental questions. Afternoons and evenings would give opportunity for sport and recreation, including musical programs and exhibits in some of the University buildings. The fee for the four days, including tuition, board, and room, would not exceed twenty-five dollars. Before making definite recommendations, the committee invites alumni to write their opinions, indicating whether they would be inclined to enroll in such a course and whether they favor its establishment even though attendance this year may be uncertain. If an alumni university is to be inaugurated on the Campus this June, plans must be made within the next few weeks. The committee asks, therefore, that alumni write their expressions as promptly as possible to Foster M. Coffin Ί x , secretary of the Cornell Alumni Corporation, Willard Straight Hall. SAGE CHAPEL PREACHERJanuary 2.7 is Rev. Justin W. Nixon, D.D., pastor of the Brick Presbyterian Church, Rochester. ONE OF THE MASTERPIECES of Hugh Troy, Jr. 'x6 in the Dutch depicts an oldfashioned swinging door, inside of which is a man succumbing to the wiles of a siren in red, while outside stands a weep- ing woman with a little boy tugging at her skirt and pointing at the man inside. Two co-eds, says Cecil R. Rosenberry '2.5 in the Ithaca Journal, stopped in front of the mural one day recently, to try to decide why the lady weeps. " I know," said one, " i t ' s because they won't let her in." " N o , " said the other, "she is crying because they won't let the little boy in." ON PHYSICS COMMITTEE Four Cornellians have been named to the committee on physics of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education. Professor Guy E. Grantham, PhD '2.0, of the Physics Department is chairman of the committee. The other Cornellian members are Professors Charles C. Bid well, PhD '14, of Lehigh; Percy Hodge, PhD '08, of Stevens Institute; and Louis B. Spinney of Iowa State College, who was a student in the Graduate School in '93-4, '97-8, and '99-Ό0. MY NIGHT IN NEW YORK Of last week I spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday in New York. I had expected to be fully engaged all the time and had made no arrangements for spare time or frivolity. Consequently I was taken aback when a Saturday afternoon session on Fifty-ninth Street which was expected to continue until train time broke up at 7 o'clock in the evening. Saturday night at New York in Christmas week and nothing to do between 7 and 11:30! Everybody one knew would be dated up or away and there isn't much percentage in crashing a party only to leave before 11. Ordinarily I would have walked, I think, along the back streets observing life and waiting for mild adventure. But only the night before a large, powerful and ominous football coach of my acquaintance had stepped out oί the hotel to walk around the block for a breath of fresh air and before he reached the corner he had the muzzle of an automatic stuck in his ribs and was relieved of his money ($2.9.60), his watch and his Elks' pin. So I stuck to Broadway and the bright lights. At Madison Square Garden I thought for a moment of attending the Notre Dame-New York University basketball game but a||:er looking at the sportsmen who thronged the entrance I became afraid I would catch leprosy, or barber's itch or something if any one of them so much as touched me. So I kept walking rapidly while withdrawing the hem of my garments the while in deference to the germ theory. This or that first attracted and then, on sober second thought, repelled. And so finally—not to waste entirely my one free night in New York—I stepped into one of the lesser cinemas and saw Babes in Toyland. It's an awfully nice movie and I've always loved that Victor Her- CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS BEEBE LAKE IS A BUSY PLACE THESE CRISP WINTER DAYS THE CHAMPIONSHIP SPRINT RELAY TEAM of which two are back this year: Left to right—Captain Richard F.

Rea of Tacoma, Wash., now the only surviving member of the Class of '69, writes to supplement our state- ment of December 6 that the Woodford Prize was the first prize to be offered at the University. « "The first," he says, "was Andrew D. White's, in June, 1869, of two prizes, forty dollars and twenty dollars, for the best answers to fifty-two questions (we called them questions) given out by Mr. White, [based on?] Guizot's History of Civilization, [for?] junior and senior classes, '69 and '70. "Behringer and Rhodes '69 tied, each getting twenty dollars. John A. Rea, the 'kid,' second prize, a twenty-dollar gold piece. Forgot to keep it." Our reference to the Woodford Prize meant, of course, although not so stated, that it was the first endowed, and so con- tinuing, prize to be given at the Univer- sity. Mr. Rea who was a co-founder of Phi Kappa Psi, was recently the medium for a compliment to the University from President Ernest O. Holland of Wash- ington State College. President Holland wrote: "John A. Rea, a graduate of Cornell University, is able to appreciate the work of this institution because he saw the beginnings (1868-69) of one of the great land grant institutions of America, and I might add, one of the great institutions of the civilized world.'' Charles F. Hendryx, who was Rae's last living classmate, died on January 15. We shall print next week a brief sketch of his life. PRESIDENT FARRAND and Dr. William C. Senning, PhD '31, of the Geology Department have been initiated as honorary members into Skulls, pre-medicine society. Other new members are Everett C. Bragg '36 of White Plains, William O. Henderson '36 of Louisville, Ky., William W. Manson '3 6of East Orange, N.J., Herbert E. Sandresky '35 of Buffalo, Addison B. Scoville, Jr. '36 of Mt. Vernon, Paul R. Wood '36 of Jenkintown, Pa., and Harold S. Wright '36 of Norwood. THE '94 MEMORIAL PRIZE debate is scheduled for March 12.. The best junior or senior speaker on either side of the proposition: "The manufacture and sale or arms and munitions should be made a Government monopoly,'' will receive the award of ninety-four dollars established by the Class of '94. INTEREST IN MUSIC INCREASES Department Has Wide Influence on Campus That the University has built up during the past five years one of the most complete libraries of phonograph and piano recordings in the country and that last year students made use of this library almost ten thousand times is revealed in the annual report of Professor Paul J. Weaver, head of the Department of Music. The Department has ten soundproof listening and practicing rooms in its building at 30a Wake Avenue, formerly occupied by Scorpion and remodelled by the University for the temporary use of the Department of Music. That these rooms are constantly used, not only by students registered in the Department but by many others for their enjoyment, is only one indication of the widespread interest in music which now prevails on the Campus. Others are the successful performances of the two Gilbert and Sullivan operas, The Mikado and Pinafore, directed by Professor Weaver with the cooperation of the Glee Clubs, the University Orchestra, and the University Theatre; and the festival performance last May under Professor Weaver's direction of Mendelssohn's Elijah with a chorus of four hundred voices,the New York Symphony Orchestra, Richard Bonelli, Doris Doe, Dan Gridley, and Emily Roosevelt. The Department sponsors also the series of Faculty recitals which fill the largest concert hall on the Campus, the weekly organ recitals of Professor Harold D. Smith, University organist, and two series of University concerts by world-famous artists, all of which are largely attended. This is to say nothing of the student and historical work and has a registration of approximately 185 students. Five years ago the staff of the Department consisted of one assistant professor. At that time Paul J. Weaver, who had for ten years been head of the department of music at the University of North Carolina, was called to the professorship of music and the headship of the Department. Now the staff contains two full professors, three assistant professors, one instructor, and several graduate assistants. A major in music for the Arts degree was established two years ago; graduate students are accepted for the Master of Arts, the Master of Fine Arts, and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Graduate work is guided largely by Professor Otto Kinkeldey, University librarian and eminent musicologist, whose chair of musicology was established in 1930, the first in the United States. Gilbert Ross, violinist, Harold D. Smith, organist, and Andrew C. Haigh, pianist, are assistant professors; and George L. Coleman '95 is instructor. GARGOYLE, the architects' honor society, has elected seven members of the fourth-year class: Arnliot R. Brauner of Ithaca, Maltby S. Fowler, Jr. of New Haven, Conn., Donald W. McNulty of Rutherford, N. J., Elmer J. Manson of Massena, Charles J. Meyer of Bayshore, Serge P. Petroff of Montclair, N. J., and John Sullivan, Jr. of Ithaca. c h o i r of 105 voices sponsored by the Uni- versity, the student symphony orchestra of 75 pieces, student bands with a registration of 1x5 players, and the present popularity of the Men's and Women's Glee Clubs and the Instrumental Clubs. This increase of interest in music parallels a significant expansion in the curriculum of the Music Department during the past five years. Starting with a small registration in 192.9, with only two theoretical offerings in harmony and counterpoint, the Department now offers seventeen courses covering the entire field of theoretical PROFESSOR PAUL J.

BOOCHEVER 'ΓL F. M. COFFIN Ί X Printed by The Cayuga Press ITHACA, NEW YORK BETTER TIMES AHEAD The report of the Cornellian Council on the class funds should be cheering to the friends of the University who realize the value of these annual gifts. Under the late Harold Flack Ί z the Alumni Fund showed remarkable growth. Before his illness and subsequent death, Cornell's Alumni Fund was the most productive fund, in number of subscribers and in total subscriptions for unrestricted uses, of the eighty or ninety similar enterprises in all the colleges and universities of the country. Then came depression, disaster, and death. A period of several years ensued when the excellent work of the office and part-time and volunteer workers enabled the Fund to continue with exceptionally good results, under the momentum it had acquired in happier times. Comes now a reorganization, a new secretary of the Council, Archie M. Palmer Ί 8 , and a ray of hope for general emergence from the depression. The first report of the new regime gives reason for belief that the alumni of Cornell will soon be providing again an adequate back log that will enable the University to advance rather than simply mark time. Because of their news interest to our readers and their real importance to the University, the ALUMNI NEWS will publish in succeeding issues from time to time, reports on the contributions by members of the various classes through the Cornellian Council. CORNELL DAY—YOUR MOVE It matters little what phase of the qualifications of the entering class causes concern to a given alumnus of any college in the country; he will find many others have similar worries. Whether it be lack of material for athletics, for fraternities, for music, dramatics, publications, and what-not, or the danger that scholarly standards must be lowered for the benefit of the less competent, there is general alarm manifest that colleges and universities are slipping. These alarms, both general and specific, are shared by Cor- nellians with the alumni of other institutions. Although not a panacea, Cornell Day, announced this week for its second annual appearance, is potentially a cure for many of the evils that seem to threaten. The thoroughness with which it will produce results depends largely upon the enthusiasm with which alumni, both as individuals and as members of organizations, enter into the project. Undergraduate organizations are preparing to stage a rushing party that should cause each guest to understand better and to think more highly of Cornell. Many of the guests will eventually matriculate. The quality of future Cornellians will be modified by the influx of these selected persons to the extent to which the alumni do their part. The part in the program for the alumni is that of arranging that the subfrosh are brought to Cornell on that day. Curiously, the less satisfied an alumnus is, the better opportunity this event offers him, if he has any real fight in him. While alumni of all colleges are'' viewing with alarm" it is Cornell's good fortune to have something to offer a visitor which should make a greater appeal than can almost any other campus in the country. The undergraduates are ready to do their part. They have, in fact, started already. Quaintly, they wonder if the alumni can do theirs. They believe they can entertain as many guests as the alumni can send. The next move is alumnal. SPRING DAY MAY 18 Saturday, May 18, has been designated as Spring Day and declared a University holiday by the Faculty committee on student activities. On that day the Carnegie Cup regatta will be held on Cayuga Lake with Princeton and Yale, and the baseball team will play Yale on Hoy Field. JOB OUTLOOK BRIGHTER Herbert H. Williams '2.5, director of the University Placement Bureau, is quoted as predicting a definite upturn in employment prospects for next June's graduates. "Present indications are that there will be more jobs available for 1935 graduates of Cornell than for any class graduating since 1930. Ever since the middle of November we have had an increasing number of requests for well qualified applicants for jobs from a wide variety of business and technical organizations. All graduates of our hotel course are now employed and there is actually a shortage of men available for jobs. All our recent law school graduates have jobs. Over eighty percent of our engineers graduating last year are employed or are working for advanced degrees." Concerning THE FACULTY PRESIDENT FARRAND will be one of those seated at the head table at the thirty-sixth annual dinner of the Society of the Genesee at the Hotel Commodore in New York City February 4. The dinner will honor the fiftieth year of the newspaper career of Louis Wiley, business manager of the New York Times and a founder of the Society. DR. VLADIMIR KARAPETOFF, versatile professor of Electrical Engineering, has been awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Music by the New York College of Music, fifty-five-year-old institution of which Mischa Elman is head of the board of trustees. Professor Karapetoff's diploma reads, "for distinguished professional services and outstanding achievements in music education." DR. ROLLINS A. EMERSON and Mrs. Emerson have left Ithaca for a trip which will take Dr. Emerson for two months to Yucatan. At the request of the Carnegie Institution, he and a specialist of the United States Department of Agriculture will study the wild maizes of Yucatan. Mrs. Emerson plans to remain in Miami, Fla., and upon Dr. Emerson's return they will motor to California, visiting genetics and plant breeding laboratories of the south and midwest, and later their son, Dr. Sterling H. Emerson 'zz of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. LINCOLN D. KELSEY, assistant state leader of country agricultural agents at the College of Agriculture since 19x8, has been appointed regional agricultural advisor to the FERA in six Eastern states. He has been granted a six months leave of absence from the University. Kelsey was one of the first agriculturists sent to Turkey by the Near East Relief, and spent more than a year at Marsovan. Last year he had charge of organizing the AAA program in the State and was secretary of the State farm debt conciliation committee. k COACH JAMES WRAY is a member of the constitution committee of the new Rowing Coaches' Organization of America, formed last June at Poughkeepsie. PROFESSOR FREDERICK BEDELL, PhD '92., Physics, has been granted a patent on an apparatus for bone audition as an aid to the hard of hearing, according to the press. PROFESSOR HENRY N. OGDEN '89, Civil Engineering, has been reappointed to the New York State Public Health Council, of which he has been a member since its organization in 1913. President Farrand is also a member of the Council. JANUARY I935 BRIEF NEWS OF CAMPUS AND TOWN BLOCK WEEK started Monday. For those who do not know, this is the seven days just preceding term examinations when regular classes of the College of Arts and Sciences are suspended, presumably to give its students time to prepare. So far as we can learn, the Arts College is the only one thus to accommodate its students; the Sun comes editorially to the conclusion that the arrangement should be extended to engineers, architects, and all others of the undergraduate body. " T h e existing seven-day respite," says the Sun, "does no one any harm, and in nine cases out of ten is a welcome period whether it be used in making up work not done, in last-minute cramming, or whether it is enjoyed with an attitude of calm preparedness." CONFIRMING the general opinion, comes now John C. Fisher, Government meteorologist in charge of the Weather Bureau station in Ithaca, to say that from official records of thirty-five years the sun shines in Ithaca less than half the daylight hours, and that rain falls, on the average, 157 days of the 365. ELISABETH SCHUMANN, Viennese lyric soprano and Lieder singer, appeared in Bailey Hall January 15 in the series of University concerts. She was warmly applauded by the audience. The next musical event on the Campus is the second of the chamber music series in the University Theatre in Willard Straight Hall January 2.4. The Kroll Sextet is the first such group to appear in Ithaca. FOUR SPEAKERS discussed war in a program arranged jointly by the Cornell Council Against War, the Liberal Club, the National Students' League, and the Student League for Industrial Democracy in Willard Straight Hall January ,2.2.. They were Rev. Alfred P. Coman of the First Methodist Episcopal Church in Ithaca, who spoke on "War and Religion," Alvin R. Mintz '35 of Morristown, N.J., Leonard J. Lurie '36 of Brooklyn, and Jacob Shulman '35 of Rochester. NURSERYMEN of the Eastern States are meeting at the College of Agriculture January 2.3 and Z4 to consider the business and professional problems of their industry. This is the fifth annual conference to be held here on the growing and marketing of ornamental plants. LECTURES for the week include Carl Snyder, statistician of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, on " T h e Strange Career and Fantasy-Life of Sir Isaac Newton," January 2.1; Dr. Wendell C. Bennett, assistant curator of the American Museum of Natural History, on "The Prehistoric Civilizations of the Andes," illustrated, January 2.x; an illustrated talk before the Deutscher Verein by Dr. Ernest A. Kubler January Z3; an illustrated lecture by L. M. Church, refrigeration specialist with the Carrier Engineering Corporation, on " N e w Refrigeration Technique for Gold Mining," January Z4; and Frank W. Hankins, vicepresident of Rolland G. E. Ullman, Inc. on' * Marketing Methods and Technique, illustrated, January 2.5. SKI CLUB members held a four-mile cross country race with a team of Dartmouth graduates in the University on the hills near Cortland as a try-out to select those who will represent the University at Dartmouth's winter carnival in February. First three places were taken by the sponsors. ITHACA BANK elections for the new year brought the names of many Cornellians into the news. James R. Robinson '09 was elected to a new office, that of chairman of the board of directors of the First National Bank. Two of three new directors elected are Charles H. Newman '13 and Professor Harold L. Reed, PhD '14, of the Department of Economics. Officers and directors re-elected include Ebenezer T. Turner '83, vice-president, Provost Albert R. Mann '04, Howard Cobb '96, Jared T. Newman '75, and Laurence C. Rumsey Ί i . Re-elected officers and directors of the Tompkins County National Bank include Robert H. Treman '78, chairman of the board, Charles D. Bostwick '9Z, vice-president, Mynderse Van Cleef '74, Charles H. Blood '88, Robert E. Treman '09, Leon D. Rothschild '09, George F. Rogalsky '07, and Harry G. Stutz '07. ALL OFFICERS of the Ithaca Trust Company have been re-elected. Cornellians among them are Robert H. Treman '78, president; Sherman Peer '06, vicepresident and secretary; Paul Bradford Ί 8 , cashier. Directors who are Cornellians include also George S. Tarbell '90, Leon D. Rothschild '09, Allan H. Treman '2.1, Mynderse Van Cleef '74, Charles D. Bostwick '92., Charles H. Blood '88, Frederick J. Whiton '79, and Charles E. Treman, Jr. '30. LEFT HANDED one-arm chairs for University classrooms are suggested by the Cornellian father of a southpaw student note-taker. Ray Ashbery '2.5 says feelingly that the complaint is well founded, but that the difficulty has sometimes been solved by arranging with the professor for a seat to be kept vacant on the left. A better suggestion, he thinks, would be to set aside one row of chairs in each classroom with their arms transposed. CORNELLIANS have always, of course, had a prominent part in the Ithaca city administration. New Year appointments for 1935 include Conant Van Blarcom '08, University superintendent of grounds and buildings, to the board of public works and Dr. Phillip C. Sainburg '12., Ithaca dentist, to the board of public welfare, both for six years. Reappointed were Lewis E. Doίflemyer '91, assessor and building commissioner; Harold E. Simpson '19, acting city judge; Dr. Esther E. Parker '05 and Henry A. Carey '12. to be health commissioners; and Charles D. Bostwick '92. to the sinking fund commission. George F. Rogalsky '07, University Treasurer, is an alderman. A FOUR-WEEKS' COURSE for missionaries opened at the College of Agriculture January 2.2.. About twenty on furlough from the Orient, Africa, and South America were expected to attend. PI LAMBDA THETA, women's honorary educational society, has elected five students in the Graduate School, twelve seniors and Elizabeth M. Waters of the Faculty of Rural Education. Graduates elected are Ruth V. Daniels of Smith Center, Kan., Anna E. Lewis of West Chester, Pa., Anne M. M. Sauerlander of Buffalo, Sarah A. Solovay of Brooklyn, and Theresa West of Ithaca. Seniors are Mildred E. Evans of Utica, Dorothea M. Ferguson of Philadelphia, Pa., Muriel A. Garlock of Ithaca, Ruth L. Gates of Buffalo, Virginia M. Lauder of Binghampton, Ruth Marcus of Scranton, Pa., Anne L. Roehrig of Staten Island, Margaret L. Schramm of Flushing, Anne L. Shulman of Binghamton, Gladys Wilensky of Passaic, N. J., Mary Willmott of Huntington, and Meda E. Young of Palmyra. GEORGIA'S DOG on College Avenue was a familiar place to many generations of Cornellians. Now it is transformed to the very modern and shining Gillette's Cafeteria, run by Carl Gillette, Hotel Management '2.8. The name, however, survived until recently in Georgia's Restaurant at 409 Eddy Street. The present restaurateur, John J. Sullivan 'z6, held a contest for a new name, which turned out to be Eddy gate. Bertram L. Hughes, Grad. was awarded the prize of two meal tickets or ten dollars by a committee of members of the University staff. The place years ago was run as the Campus Gate Restaurant by Charlie the Greek, later was Osborn's, and more recently has been owned by George B. Dunnack '30. PI ALPHA PSI, honorary floriculture fraternity, is holding weekly dinners and discussions in Willard Straight Hall. i ό CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS About ATHLETICS LOSE TWICE AT BASKETBALL The basketball team continued to show improvement in Syracuse on January 16, but lost to the Orange 35-50. This was the fifteenth straight victory for Syracuse. For the first fifteen minutes the Varsity fought the Syracusans on even terms, but an Orange rally in the closing minutes of the first half broke a 13-13 tie and brought the score to 11-14 f°r Syracuse at half time. Improved defensive work by the Redmen accounted for holding the Orange at the start, but the larger Syracuse team soon drew ahead and held its lead to the end. Play was fast and hard, with three Syracusans, AlkofF, Sanford, and De Young leading the scoring with 18, i i , and 11 points, respectively. Wilson led the Red team with 10 points, all from the Field, and Freed made 9.

The second league contest of the season was lost to Harvard at Cambridge on January 19, the Crimson winning 2.3-17. This was the first league game Harvard had won, losing all twelve last season and one to Princeton and two to Pennsylvania this year. Saturday's contest was close and hard fought but did not show either team as particularly fast. The,Varsity dominated throughout the first half, although not leading the scoring until near the end of the period, when it was 11-9. Harvard regained the lead in the second for a time, until Captain Foote brought the score to a tie with a difficult shot from the side. Until the final two minutes the lead swung from one to other, but a foul shot by Kollinites put the Crimson ahead by one point and brought on a frenzied Varsity effort to regain the lead. In the confusion, the Crimson captain, Boys, made two goals to put the game away. Only seven fouls were called, six by Cornell. Wilson at forward starred, making 7 tallies for the Red; Freed was so closely guarded that he made but one basket; and Captain Foote made three.

On Saturday in the Drill Hall they beat Dickenson Seminary 34-2.4 in a ragged game in which Coach Layton used two complete teams. Few of the freshman squad this year have had much experience in basketball, but they appear nevertheless to show considerable promise. The remainder of their schedule includes Cook Academy at Montour Falls February 13, Manlius at Manlius February 16, Cook Academy at Ithaca February 2.0, Colgate Freshmen at Ithaca February 2.3, and Cortland Normal at Cortland March 2.. TRACK TEAM PROMISING The winter track season opens February Z3 with Yale in the Drill Hall. This will be the eleventh annual meet between the two since the inception of the series in 192.4; that in 1933 was cancelled because of the bank moratorium. Last year's meet was won for the Varsity by the unexpected winning of the first two places in the shot put. Cornell has won seven of the ten, but the scores have never been more than ix points apart; the totals for all ten only 43}^ points different. The thirty-fifth track team to be coached by John F. Moakley bids fair at least to repeat the 1934 record of no defeats in triangular or dual meets. No less than twenty-two of last year's team are back, of whom seven took the trip to England last July. Captain Walter S. Merwin '35 of Buffalo, intercollegiate indoor hurdles champion, leads the Varsity's strongest department, with Frank J. Irving '35, football end, as his perennial partner. One of the two has placed first or second in every meet since 1933, and they were members of the shuttle-hurdle relay team which set a new record at the Pennsylvania Relay Carnival last April. These two will be ably backed in the low hurdles by James H. Hucker '37 of Buffalo, who last summer in England as a freshman placed second only to the great Stanwood, double winner for Cambridge; and by John L. Messersmith '36 of Westfield, N. J. Rounding out the group of hurdlers is the diminutive Charles Y. NefT '37 of Buffalo. Leading the sprinters is Robert E. Linders '36, another veteran of the English trip and understudy to Captain Hardy of the 1934 team; with Norman M. Rosenberg '37 of Canisteo in the shorter events. Hucker and Robert A. Scallan '36 of Terrace Park, O. are leading in the longer sprints and the quarter-mile, together with Addison M. White '35 of New Hartford and Robert B. Schnur '35 of Evanston, 111. Bruce D. Kerr '35 of Ithaca, crosscountry captain, will run the mile this year, and Ellison H. Taylor '35 of Springfield, Mass, the two-mile. Kerr won in all the dual events last year and Taylor led the varsity harriers in the cross-country intercollegiates last November. William S. Hutchings '35 of Ithaca and White will handle the halfmile; and John Meaden '37 of LaGrange, 111., freshman team captain last year, is a consistent performer in the 880 and mile. Edmund V. Mezzitt '37, of Weston, Mass., William V. Bassett '37 of West Newton, Mass., John H. Chapin '35 of Montreal, and John H. Peck '36 of Morristown, N. J., 1935 cross country captain, are all capable runners in the longer distances. Charles R. Scott, Jr. '36 of Montclair, N. J., winner in England last July and champion of Scotland with a mark of 6 feet 2. inches, seems certain to lead the high jumpers, but will be closely pressed by Grandin A. Godley '36 of Tenafly, N. J. These two will be reinforced by Llewellyn W. Collings, Jr. '36 of South Orange, N. J., Edward G. Ratkoski '35 of Dunkirk, and Herbert E. Sandresky '35 of Buffalo. The broad jump will be in the hands of veterans Henry S. Godshall, Jr. '36 of Lansdowne, Pa., another internationalist, and of Henry S. Berkowitz '35 of Brooklyn, and Ratkoski. In the weight throws, Robert A. Reed '35 of Dunkirk is closely pressed by John JANUARY 193$ ίί B. Harlow '35 of Montclair, N. J., with Joseph L. Leone '36 of Ithaca, Wilson P. Burns '35 of Colorado Springs, Col. and John W. Shoemaker '37 of Scranton, Pa. for backing. Walter D. Wood, Jr. '36 of Summit, N. J., William C. McLaughlin '36 of Poughkeepsie, and Donald T. Houpt '36 of Ambler, Pa. are contenders in the shot-put. Robert B. McNab '36 of Missoula, Mont, and Fred C. Sorenson '35 of Platts- burgh have a pole vault mark of 12. ίeet 6 inches; they are paced by Robert D. Price '36 of Willoughby, O. and Philip F. Stevens '37 of Larchmont. * Following the meet with Yale February i3, the winter track schedule includes the indoor intercollegiates in New York City March 2., a triangular meet with Harvard and Dartmouth at Boston, Mass., March 9, and one with Syracuse and Colgate at Ithaca March 13. On May 11 at Palmer Stadium at Princeton, N. J. the team will participate in a new Eastern intercollegiate meet, with those of Columbia, Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Yale. Each university will be limited to two contestants in each event, so that there will be but one trial and no semifinals. All preliminaries except heats in the 400-meter relay will be run off in the morning, and the finals within a twohour period. Five places will be scored, 6-4-3-2.-1, putting a premium on first place. Running events will be 100-meter, 800-meter, 1500-meter, and 3000-meter races, 400-meter and 1600-meter relays, and 100-meter high hurdles and 2.00meter low hurdles. Field events are to be the broad and high jumps, pole vault, shot put, discus, hammer, and javelin. Plans have been made only for 1935, but it is predicted that this meet may become an annual event, rotating among Princeton, Yale, Harvard, and Pennsylvania. COLGATE WINS AT HOCKEY With but fragmentary chances to prac- tice, the hockey team showed good form Saturday night in the Syracuse Coliseum against Colgate, but lost, 4-2.. Wattles began the scoring before the first period was half over, but before it ended a Col- gate goal by Van Benschoten erased the lead and it was never regained. Coach Bawlf used two complete teams, and in the final period his men came close to catching the Colgate lead in a fast, clean game that gave the spectators plenty of thrills.

Smith, as timekeeper, and Professor Frederick G. Marcham and Dave Saperstone as judges, intercollegiate boxing for a Cornell team was inaugurated auspiciously under a single powerful floodlight in the darkened Old Armory Saturday night before four hundred interested spectators. The proteges of Coach Jake Goldbas '34 were tied with the powerful Penn State sluggers, runners-up last year in the Eastern intercollegiate league, when the last bout began. Then their burly heavyweight entry, scored a clean knockout in the second round over Irving A. Jenkins '37 of New York City to end the meet 4K-3K i n the visitors' favor. The referee was Scales of Ithaca. The Red team lost the first two bouts: Luis Torregrosa '36 of Porto Rico to MeAndrews in the 115-pound class, by a technical knockout in the second round; and John Canzoneri, Sp. of Walden to Captain Zeleznock, intercollegiate 1x5pound champion, by decision. Robert A. Saunders '35 of Cossayuna won a draw and the first Varsity score in the 135-pound event against Madison. In the 145-pound class, the decision against Victor R. deGrasse '35 of New York City in favor of Goodman of Penn State was decidedly unpopular, but Captain David Cramer '35 of Utica in the 155pound event was the first of three Redmen in a row to retaliate, winning the decision over Flenniken. Jira P. Thayer '37 of Panama won the second clear decision in the 165-pound class over Ritzie, and Bo I. B. Adler '35 of Ithaca out boxed Sawchak in the 175-pound event, bringing the score to a 3y2 tie, with the heavyweight bout to decide the meet. ARMY WINS AT POLO Putting up a game fight but outclassed by a crack Army trio, the polo team lost its second indoor game, 15-5, in the West Point riding hall on Saturday. Both teams scored in every period but the final one, when Army made 5 points to none for the Varsity. Two scores in the first chukker, by Palmer and Estes, put the Army into the lead, but Tom Lawrence scored one for the Red team. Thirty seconds after the second period opened, Estes again put the ball between the markers and his teammate, Wilson, counted on a foul shot before Jack Lawrence made another for the Varsity. Palmer brought in another as the second period ended with the score 8-3, Army leading. From that point on the game was all Army's, but the Red riders gave battle to the last second. John Leslie rode with the Lawrence brothers to make up the Varsity trio. The game scheduled with Newburgh Polo Club that afternoon was cancelled. The next on the schedule is with the ii2.th Field Artillery. New Jersey National Guard, on January 2.6 in the Riding Hall. Referee Scales introduces Captain Zeleznock, Penn State's intercollegiate 12.5pound champion, to his opponent, John Canzoneri, during Cornell's first intercollegiate boxing meet in the Old Armory Saturday night. WRESTLERS WIN 23-11 Scoring falls in the first four bouts and a decision in the fifth, the Varsity wrestling team opened its season in the Drill Hall Saturday afternoon by defeating Springfield, 2.3—11. The visitors got but one fall and two decisions. With the exception of Henry C. Weisheit '35 of Glenmont and Captain Charles C. Shoemaker '35 of Philadelphia, Pa., all those on the Varsity team had won University championships in their respective classes in the elimination matches held on January 18. Weisheit had been defeated for 135-pound University champion by John P. Floros '36 of Ithaca, but substituted for him in the Springfield meet because of an injury. Captain Shoemaker lost the University 155-pound match to George R. Brownell '36 of Westfield, N. J. CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS The other University championship winners, were: n8-pound, Gregory T.
