Cornell Alumni News Volume 49, Number 10 January 1, 1947 Price 25 Cents Triphammer Bridge and Beebe Lake Hoiv to Avoid Saying Money by DAMN/ To avoid saving money, the first thing is to cut off all your pockets. (Or throw away your purse and keep your lipstick in your snood.) Thus you will have to carry your money in your hand. Which will insure that you—1. spend it, 2. lose it, 3. get it taken from you—quicker! Also to be avoided like crazy are piggy banks and sugar bowls. Keep these out of your home! The kiddies in particular are victimized by such devices, often saving quite a bale of moolah. Be stern even if the little ones cry—remember what money could do for them! And be sure to avoid budgets. It is best to draw your pay and walk down Main Street buying anything you don't particularly hate. Above all, don't buy any U. S. Savings Bonds —or it's impossible not to save money! These gilt-edged documents pay fat interest— 4 dollars for 3 after only 10 years! There is even an insidiously easy scheme called the Payroll Savings Plan by which you buy bonds automatically. Before you catch on, you have closets full of bonds. You may even find yourself embarrassed by a regular income! Get-gat-gittle!

But his most fruitful years lie ahead. Rich with the promise of fine schooling—every advantage you can give him. YouVe planned it that way. Just suppose, though, that you were suddenly no longer around to see it through. Your insurance will take care of everything? Remember, though, family needs change with the times. And in order to keep your insurance program tailored to these shifting needs, it's best to review your policies regularly. You'll find your New England Mutual Career Underwriter a great help.

Last year, the number recorded was 262. This year's list is approximately 11 per cent of the total number of 3,175 students who have entered the University in the three terms since last fall. Two of Fourth Generation Two new students this year are of the fourth uninterrupted Cornell generation. Pauline B. Rogers, Arts Freshman, is the daughter of James Rogers II '25 and Mrs. Rogers (Margaret Humeston) '28 of Au Sable Forks, granddaughter of Henry G. Rogers '01, and the great-granddaughter of the late James Rogers '713. George S. Jenks, who has entered Arts after eighteen months in the Army, is the son of Ernest E. Jenks '15 and Mrs. Jenks (Dorothy Tarbell) '16 of New York City, grandson of the late George S. Tarbell '90 and the late Professor Jeremiah W. Jenks, Political Economy, and great-grandson of the late Doctor Tarbell '72. His sister, Mrs. Frank Gaenger (Geraldine Jenks) '43, was the first fourth-generation Cornellian to enter the University, in 1939. As is to be expected, the number of third-generation Cornellians who come to the University is also increasing. This year, there are twenty-four, whpse Cornell lineage is traced in the "box" headed "Three Cornell Generations." In addition to these of uninterrupted alumni lineage, ten new students listed Cornell grandparents but not alumni parents: Robert C. Barnum, whose grandfather is George R. Shepard '96; Kirk E. Birrell, grandson of the late Alfred H. Eldredge '88; Harry P. Blagbrough, John Wilkinson '89; Kenneth L. Bowles, the late Harry W. Ludlam '92; Jose F. Cuervo, the late Jose M. Cuervo '96; Thomas H. Dowd, the late Thomas H. Dowd '92; William J. Foster III '49, the late William J. Foster '91; William D. Nelson, the late Charles E. Acker '88; John E. Rogers, the late John C. Percy '99; and John G. Tryon, grad, grandson of the late Frank T. Wilson '81. Three of the new students are grandchildren of the late Jacob Gould Schurman, third President of the University. All are Freshmen in Arts and Sciences: Lydia Schurman, daughter of Judge Jacob G. Schurman, Jr. '17 of New York City; Malcolm Magruder, son of Brigadier General John Magruder, USA, and Mrs. Magruder (Helen Schurman) of Washington, D.C.; and George M. McHugh, son of Colonel James M. McHugh, USMC, and Mrs. McHugh (Dorothy Schurman) of Washington. These annual listings of Cornellians' children are compiled by the Alumni Office from information requested of all new students. In addition to direct alumni forbears, hundreds of Cornell brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, and cousins are recorded. But some students always neglect to indicate even their close Cornell relatives, so these published lists are frequently incomplete. Additions and corrections are welcomed, to complete the University records.' They may be sent either to the ALUMNI NEWS or to the Alumni Office, 3 East Avenue, Ithaca. In our listings, asterisks (*) denote alumni who are deceased and daggers (f) denote step-parents. All children are Freshmen unless otherwise desig- nated. Both Parents Cornellian This year, fifty-six all-Cornell fam- ilies sent fifty-eight children to the University, as compared with forty children with both parents Cornellians last year. Two of this year's all-Cornell children are fourth-generation Cornel- lians, six are included among the third generation, and the names of the other fifty are listed below, with their parents. Mothers' maiden names are given. PARENTS CHILDREN Allen, Leon L. '17 Marie M. Edith Darrow, Grad Ί4-Ί7 Allen, Arthur A. '08 Prudence L. '48 Elsa Guerdrum '12 Bird, Horace C. '23 Leslie V.

Intelligence Students and their Faculty advi- sors are busily engaged in conferences •r* x A regarding next term's WoTs CoOf"pΓrSee-Sre*gti>sSttrhaβtioΓne.suTlht e old system was to pack all schedule making into the two days of registra- tion at Barton Hall. It was a grand rat-race, with students milling around trying to fill out programs, and lining up frequently fifteen or twenty deep in front of their advisor's table in order to get a drop of wisdom from his lips and his signature on their cards. I am sure that, in the rush, many advisors O.K'd cards semi-automatically. When I was on the committee on academic records of the Arts College, not infrequently a case would come up where a student approaching graduation date would find himself short of some requirement which had not been caught by him nor the advisor. Most professors did their best. I know of one, for instance, who told a half-dozen advisees still waiting at 6 p.m. that he was just physically unable to give their schedules intelligent, conscientious attention that night and that they would have to wait until morning. Doing it slowly and in advance is harder on the professor in point of time spent, but he will do a more satisfying job. * ** Pre^registration came about largely as the result of student yelps over, the Students Asked For It last few years. They didn't see why they couldn't sign up in ad- vance and thus get an extra day's vacation, particularly before the Feb- ruary term started. The Sun was rather ill-mannered about it on one occasion. Finally, the Faculty as- sented. Just in time, as a matter of fact. If 253 there was delay and confusion in the Drill Hall with 6,000 students under the old system, what would have happened with 9,000 last October! Instead, registration was handled with appreciably less fuss and pother than usual, even though there were fifty percent more going through the mill. I am mentally prepared to see the undergraduates change right around one of these days, after the present generation has graduated, and yelp for a change back again. One big disadvantage is that the individual largely loses control of his day and hour schedule, particularly in huge multi-sectional courses like English, Chemistry, Physics, and the languages. Assignments are now made in the Deans' offices. Very likely they will be better made in respect to avoidance of overloading Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at the expense of Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, in the questionable endeavor to have Saturday free. On the other hand, no one but the person involved is going to take quite the same interest in arranging a schedule with a minimum of eight o'clocks, afternoon sessions, and breaks between classes. Hence my mental preparedness for a lively campaign about 1950 for "reform" of what very likely will then be called a Faculty-imposed straitjacket on the defenseless undergraduates! Memorial Gift V\7Έ can think of no more fitting * ^ gift than this check which we hope you will use for the purchase of Chemistry books to be inscribed 'In Memory of Joseph Percy, Class of 1934'," said Mr. and Mrs. Harold E. Haber, Jr., of New York City in a recent letter to the University Librarian. The gift was made in memory of Dr. Joseph Henry Percy '34, who was killed October 3 in Newfoundland. "Joe and his wife, Constance Lebair Percy, also a Cornell graduate, of the Class of 1936, loved Cornell," the Habers wrote, "and had a strong loyalty to the college. We, high school classmates of Constance Percy, would like to honor Joe's memory and show our affection and sympathy for Connie." Enclosed with the letter was a check for eighty dollars. Dr. Percy's death occurred in the crash of a transport plane while he was enroute to Berlin for research into technical advances in the manufacture of soap and similar products. The research was to have been jointly made for the government and the Colgate Palmolive-Peet Co., where Percy was director of chemical products and scientific consultant. 254 From Far Below...

Kelley HI Tours Clubs Λ SSISTANT coach Alva Kelley '41 *** of football spoke to five Cornell Clubs last month, showing movies of the games and discussing the past season. In Hartford, Conn., he spoke before some 300 members of the Cornell Club of Hartford and the Touchdown Club. December 6, he met with the Cornell Club of Nassau County in Garden City; December 11, with General Alumni Secretary Emmet J. Murphy '22, at the Cornell Club of Detroit, Mich.; and the following day he addressed a luncheon meeting of the Cornell Club of Chicago, 111. Kelley's speaking tour ended December 28 before the Cornell Club of Pittsburgh, Pa. Cornell Plantations ΠPHE Cornell Plantations for Au•*• tumn, 1946, concludes its digestreview of Professor James G. Needham's account of the Professors Cornstock at Cornell. Professor Robert M. Smock, Pomology, writes frankly about "The Amateur Fruit Garden." Editor Bristow Adams asks and answers adequately the question, "How About Hedges?" describing examples all over the world and giving a useful list of forty-odd hedge plants, with observations on their use. Professor Cedric H. Guise '14, Forestry, writes informatively on "The Arnot Forest: A Field Laboratory" of the University. Summarizing the purpose of the quarterly, the editor writes: "This small magazine is published in the interests of the enterprise whose name it bears. It is a reminder of the needs of that enterprise for contributions of money or materials to make the Plantations one of the largest and best collections of things that grow, not only for this nation but for the world." Subscriptions to the quarterly may be entered at two years for a dollar at the office in Roberts Hall, Ithaca. January /, Now, in My Time! By T HE New Year is the time to look back across the decades and cast accounts. That's particularly true of a college town where the false appearance of perennial youth vanishes for a week after Christmas and permits the observer to check his instruments and figures against more permanent monuments. Ithaca and Cornell aren't seeing so much of each other as they once did, I'm afraid. That's rather a pity, for whoever became a Cornellian without, in some degree, also becoming an Ithacan missed something. The change has been so gradual as to have been almost imperceptible. It takes some striking incident to bring it out; such an incident as the sudden modifications in the parcel post rules during the coal strike, which made the containers in which students send their laundry home no longer mailable. The Sub-Post Office in Barnes Hall became momentarily a madhouse as frustrated scholars milled about faced with the prospect of carrying neat packages of dirty clothes around in their hands through all eternity. That would not have happened in my time. Ithaca then lodged us, fed us, and washed us. True, we repaired to Cornell University for instruction in the higher branches, but Ithaca was the foster-parent who sewed on our buttons, taught us the facts of life, and showed us the best places to fish and shoot ducks. She's always been a strange personality, this Ithaca! Born of the Revolution and sired by Sullivan's Expedition, sjie lived a pretty tough girlhood in the company of hard men who drove fast horses and chewed tobacco: lumbermen and canal boaters; Sages, McGraws, Williamses, Tremans, and what not. Periodically she'd dream of riches and periodically she'd wake up to find herself again in bankruptcy. Through hardship and disappointment, her soul was purified and she learned the vanity of material ambitions and acquiring railroad stocks at the top of the market. Ithaca was just ripe for it. When this Quaker mechanic came along to give her first a public library and then a University, she liked the new experience. The boaters and the lumbermen had given her lots of excitement, but just see where they had landed her! This new man was giving her contacts with culture and, what was more, his student^ who had to be boarded, lodged, and washed for were giving her an assured income. Give a spinster of New England background contacts with culture and an assured income and she asks little more of life! Right there she decided to become the handmaiden of learning and the spinster aunt of scholars. That's a business! Moreover, through the years thousands of her foster-sons, whom she'd fed, spanked, and lent money to, gradually peopled the earth and gave her their affections. I don't know just where the change began. Doubtless the abandonment of Percy Field was a factor, and the movement of the athletic offices, together with those of the Musical Clubs and the Masque, had much to do with it. The Lyceum went, and then the trol- leys. Little by little, there came to be less and less need for students to go down the Hill at all as one function after another moved up: post office, bars, barber shops, doctors, and stores of all sorts. You can see it now, as you could not see it happening, that Cornell University has become a community separated from the city of which it is physically a part; self-sufficient and largely self-sustaining. Ithaca, too, had gradually retired from the active student business, having acquired a competence and developed other institutions and gainful occupations. The pleasant interrelations are now conducted more along social and civic lines; less along commercial ones. There isn't much a student actually has to go down the Hill for now, except to the movies and to see how the garage is getting along with repairs to the car after the collision. True, there is still a disproportional number of young persons to beseen on the downtown streets of Ithaca, but more often than not they are students of Ithaca College. Period or exclamation point, as you prefer! 255 Slants on Sports Basketball Starts Well Γ) ASKETBALL team, made up of -^veterans from last year's andprewar squads, rolled to four straight victories in early December under the guidance of a new coach, Royner C. Greene. The team made its debut December 7 in Barton Hall, defeating Vermont, 58-31,.before approximately 6,000 persons, a record crowd. On December 11, Cornell turned back Niagara, 50-45, also in Barton Hall, and then conquered Rochester at Rochester, 45-33, December 14. Returning to Barton Hall December 17, the team came from behind to defeat Colgate, 41-38. Crowds of approximately 4,500 saw the Niagara and Colgate contests. Team is Experienced In the four Varsity games, Cornell scored 194 points, with 58 of them contributed by the newly-electedcaptain, Robert W. Gale '48 of St. Albans. When he returned to Cornell last fall, Gale brought with him his brother, James T. Gale '48, another product of Andrew Jackson High School, St. Albans. James Gale, who stands 6 feet 4 inches, played basketball at Rutgers before he entered the Army. Coach Greene has built his offense around the double pivot, with the Gale brothers occupying these positions. James Gale produced 28 points in the first four games and was runnerup to his younger brother. With James Gale at forward and Robert Gale at center, the starting lineup in the early games also included Harry C. Middleton, III '46 ofNarberth, Pa., forward, a veteran of two years on the Varsity squad before war service; Robert E. Gallagher '44 of Northbrook, 111., guard, who was captain-elect for 1943-44 after a season of Varsity play in 1942-43; and William C. Arrison '48 of Merchantville, N. J., who was on the squad a year ago. In the Vermont game, nine reserve players were used. They were Edward T. Peterson '48 of Buffalo, first-string center the last two sesons; Hillary A. Chollet '49 of New Orleans, La., who played regularly a year ago and who reported for basketball practice just two days after he scored two touchdowns for Cornell against Pennsylvania on Thanksgiving Day; Richard K. Giles '45 of Reading, Pa., and Roger D. Booze '45 of Cincinnati, Ohio, a pair of pre-war Varsity performers; Edward J. Hodapp '49 of Mankato, Minn., Joaquin E. Molinet 256 Scores of the Teams Varsity Basketball Cornell 58 Vermont 31 Cornell 50 Niagara 45 Cornell 45 Rochester 33 Cornell 41 Colgate 38 J-V Basketball Cornell 59 Cortland 41 Cornell 55 Ithaca College 31 Niagara 45 Cornell 43 Cornell 50 Rochester 35 Cornell 62 Colgate 55 Swimming Cornell 66 Rochester 9 '49, son of former Varsity Captain Joaquin Molinet, Jr. '21 of Caimanera, Cuba, and Theodore Hecht '49 of Yonkers, from last year's Junior Varsity squad; and two Freshman war veterans, Alpha Dowd of New York City and Richard Savitt of East Orange, N. J. Chollet was third in scoring in the first four games with 25 points. Peterson had 24, Middleton 16, Arrison 14, Gallagher 13, and Giles 8, with the rest of the scoring scattered. Barton Hall Revamped The team performed in the new Barton Hall setting for basketball. Banked along the south wall are steel stands to the eaves seating, when the customers are squeezed in, 4,200. That figure was last year's total seating capacity. The old bleachers line the other three sides of the court, and the balcony is again available. To achieve the new capacity of 8,200 seats, the court's long axis was turned east-west, instead of north-south. New fanshaped,, glass backboards are ordered. Electric clocks, with electrically operated numbers recording the point-bypoint score, are located high on the north and south walls. Win Four Games /CORNELL'S debut was an aus^picious one. Before the record crowd, Cornell quickly took command of the game, running up a lead of 19-4 in the first nine minutes of play. The height of the Gale brothers and of Peterson, who stands 6 feet 9 inches, was too much for the short, but fast, Vermont players. Cornell was ahead, 34-13, at the half and, with all reserves in action, coasted to its 58-31 victory. Captain Gale topped the scorers with 17 points. The 50-45 victory over Niagara was a bit more difficult to achieve, but it was an opening spurt of 8 points, while Niagara was picking up one counter, that put Cornell ahead to stay. From there on, play was close and in the second half the visitors outscored Cornell. Captain Gale again led with 25 points. He was virtually unstoppable as he operated from the double pivot. The Rochester game was a different story. Cornell had to struggle to keep abreast of the home club through the first half. The lead changed hands nine times, and the score was tied four times. Cornell achieved a one-point margin, 20-19, at the intermission. In the second half, Rochester tied the score for the last time on a free throw. Arrison converted a free throw, and Peterson, who took over the role of top scorer, dropped a field goal from a pivot play and then tapped in another. Cornell stayed in front to the finish, although the margin was cut once to one point. The Colgate contest was the toughest of the four. The visitors trotted out a tall team and a defense that lessened the efficiency of Cornell's double-pivot attack. Captain Gale was pretty well shackled throughout the game, but his defensive play in holding Colgate's Vanderweghe to three field goals had much to do with the outcome. Colgate moved into a 22-16 lead at the half and added another point early in the second half. Cornell revised its offensive tactics and started to roll, VARSITY BASKETBALL CAPTAIN Robert W. Gale '48 of St. Albans'plays at center, stands six feet, five inches. As a Navy V-12 student on the Variety team in 1943-44, he scored 244 points in the seventeen games that year; later, as a midshipman at Dartmouth, he played with them in post-season games. He came out of the Navy last July as an ensign, from sixteen months of sea duty in the Pacific; is pledged to Delta Upsilon. Cornell Alumni News with Chollet supplying amuch-needed spark. Goals by Peterson and Chollet and two free throws by Middleton, along with a free throw by Vanderweghe, made the score 24-22. Colgate managed to stay ahead until less than ten minutes of play remained. Then Robert Gale tied the score at 30-30. It was tied again at 32all and 33-all. Arrison's long shot put Cornell ahead to stay. Chollet's goal made the count 38-34 with six minutes to play. Chollet tallied CornelΓs final three points and wound up as the game's high scorer with 13. J-V Wins Four J UNIOR VARSITY basketball team, coached by James E. Bennett, Jr. '41, Varsity forward for three seasons now in the Law School, won four of its first five games. This team, which is actually a combination of Junior Varsity and Freshman players, started the season with a 59-41 conquest of Cortland State Teachers Junior Varsity at Cortland, December 4. Starters were Donald Darnell '50 of St. Albans and Alan Longley '50 of Syracuse, forwards; John Rose '50 of Montclair, N. J., center; and Paul Lansaw '50 of Middletown, Ohio, where Coach Greene coached high school teams before he came to Cornell, and James Hall '49 of Jamestown, guards. Longley and Rose scored 8 points apiece in the opener. The Junior Varsity followed up with a 55-31 decision over the Ithaca College junior varsity in Barton Hall December 7, then bowed—for the first time in fourteen games—to Niagara, 45-43, in Barton Hall, December 11. A long shot broke a tie in the final minute of the game. The squad accompanied the Varsity players to Rochester December 14, and won from the Rochester jayvees, 50-35, then took Colgate's junior varsity, 62-55, in Barton Hall, December 17. Rose was high with 17 points against Ithaca College, but Lansaw took over the top spot in the last three games, scoring 12 against Niagara, 16 against Rochester, and 17 against Colgate. Swimmers Continue Wins CJWIMMING team, long accus^ tomed to having its ownway in dual meets, defeated Rochester, 66-9 at Rochester December 14. This was the first win of the new season, Cornell's twenty-sixth consecutive victory in dual competition, and the start of Coach G. Scott Little's twelfth season here. Newly-elected Captain George H. Martin '45 of Honeoye Falls contri- January i, 1947 buted 3 points to the total by placing second in the 220-yard freestyle. Top performance was in the 300-yard medley relay where Irving M. Katz '49 of Brooklyn, Charles H. Reynolds '48 of Silver Springs, Mo., and Robert A. Ornitz '45 of Pittsburgh, Pa., set a new pool record of 3:09.3. The 400-yard freestyle relay team was composed of John B. Rogers '45 of Westfield, N. J., Norman C. Merz '49 of South Orange, N. J., Richard J. Huff '44 of Brookline, Pa., and Joseph R. DiStasio '48 of Newark, N. J. Rogers and DiStasio were ends on the 1946 football team. Other Cornell winners were Robert K. Dennett '45 of Wahaiwa, Oahu, Hawaii, 220-yard freestyle; Reynolds, 50-yard freestyle; John W. Hosie '49 of East Aurora, diving; John K. Cousens '48 of Great Neck, 100-yard freestyle; Katz, 150-yard backstroke; Robert F. Strauss '49 of New York City, 200-yard breaststroke and Peter G. Van Dijk '49 of Larchmont, 440yard freestyle.

Time Was . . . Thirty-five Years Ago January, 1912—The "Sibley Pup' will soon be a full-grown "Dog" again, and will be allowed to come in out of the cold. The proprietor has been granted permission to establish his lunch room in the south basement of Sibley Dome, for one year. The "Dog" lost its home when the old Cornell farmhouse was torn down last spring to make room for Rand Hall. The "Pup" which took its place was quartered in a tent near the Foundry, and has had a bad case of shivers since it turned cold. Twenty-five Years Ago January, 1922—Following their annual custom, members of the Town and Gown Club lighted their Yule log last Saturday at midnight to celebrate the coming of the New Year. The ceremony was preceded by stunts and a dinner. "No onefully knows his Ithaca until he has spent the Christmas holidays here.

"Last Saturday 3,126 persons skated at Beebe Lake. Of these 723 were girls. Of the 723 girls 412 wore knickerbockers. Of the 412 girls who wore knickerbockers 322 were badly advised and should not hav6 done so." —RB in "Sport Stuff" Twenty Years Ago January, 1927—"A discussion group is what is left of a bull session after the YMCA has organized it—after the bull has become an ox. The new thing is more orderly, useful, elevating, and educational, but all life, fire, spontaneity, a^id fun has departed from it. Participants are edified but not amused. "I look back in fond memory on one session which started at 9 p.m. and broke up at four in the morning in three fist fights and four suspended friendships. A Sophomore from Texas asserted that watermelons, in the course of their development and ripening, turn over and that this turning movements puts the curl in the stem. A gentleman from Vermont said it wasn't so and was, moreover, scientifically impossible. Everyone else then took sides and enlisted for the duration. "Dr. Liberty Hyde Bailey, called on the telephone at 3:45 a.m., contributed nothing beyond a demonstration that he could talk like a wounded hackman when occasion required. That ruined the party because all bets turned on how Liberty Hyde would decide—and he wouldn't.

Olin '85, donor of Olin Hall of Chemical Engineering, were guests of honor at a dinner meeting of fifty members of the Cornell Club of St. Louis, Mo., December 6 at the Kingsway Hotel. The Club's secondary schools committee has shown colored pictures of the University to about seventy-five upperclassmen in three high schools, 257 Baltimore Symphony "D AILEY Hall was filled December -*-* 11 for a University concert by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Reginald Stewart conducting. The program included two pieces by Bach: the Toccata, Adagio, and Fugue in C Major, and the choral prelude, "Cφme, Sweet Death"; Hindemith's Symphony in E flat; Glinka's overture to "Russian and Ludmilla;" Strauss's suite from "Der Rosenkavalier;" and three encores from Bizet's score for "Carmen:" the "Bohemian Dance," the "Habanera," and the "March of the Torreadors." The orchestra was in good form, the conductor performed with terpsichorean grace, and the audience signified its approval with prolonged applause. The Sun's music reviewer, Sidney T. Cox '43 of Nashua, N. H., however, filed his dissenting opinion with such adjectives as these: "heavyhanded . . . scrambling . . . clumping . . . pompous . . .undistinguished . . . apologetic . . . perfunctory . . . over-stuffed." The only possible conclusion: de gustίbus non est disputandum. Give ChristmasPlay D RAMATIC Club's Christmas present to the University community was a superlative production of "The Second Shepherds' Play," given three free performances December 14 as a feature attraction of the Christmas open house at Willard Straight Hall. The Medieval English miracle play tells the simple story of the Nativity: an angel proclaims the birth of Christ to three shepherds, who then follow the Star to Bethlehem and come upon the Virgin and Child in the manger. But the anonymous author has added to this story by letting the shepherds describe their hard lot and by introducing Mak, a comedian and sheep stealer. After Mak performs his office, the shepherds pursue him and find that his "new-born baby," lying swaddled in a cradle, is in fact their lost sheep. Acting honors went to Anthony Geiss '46 of New York City for his broad portrayal of Mak; to Roderic B. MacDonald '46 of Buffalo, as the Second Shepherd, who gives laconic advice on avoiding the perils of matrimony; and to the sheep, borrowed from the University Sheep Farm, who played her part perfectly (after five rehearsals) and was really the hit of the show. Virginia Genove '48 of Niagara Falls was properly shrewish as Mak's wife, and Marilyn A. Rothstein '47 of Johnstown, Pa., was a beautiful Virgin Mary. Professor A. M. Drummond, Speech 258 and Drama, supervised the production, which was directed by Walter Scheinman '44. When the play was given by the Dramatic Club in 1925, the Third Shepherd was played by Franchot Tone '27. New Club Elects FIRST officers of the new Cornell Women's Club of New Haven, Conn., and vicinity, elected December 3 at the Seven Gables Towne House, are president, Mrs. Thomas A. ScanIan, Jr (Florence Burtis) '26; vicepresident, Virginia E. Grant '38; secretary, Mrs. Luther M. Noss (Osea Calciolari) '30; and treasurer, Mrs. Ragan Green (Aline Richards) '42. The twenty-one members present also adopted a constitution for the Club. Officers and committee chairmen met December 11 at the home of Mrs. Noss to plan future Club activities. Pepsi-Cola Scholars IΠ^OUR winners of scholarships fi-•• nanced nationally by the PepsiCola Co. have qualified and chosen to enter Cornell this fall. These Freshmen are Dorothy A. Ganshow of Garden City and Grace E. Rawson of Oxford, Mass., Arts; William G. Jennings of Evanston, 111., Mechanical Engineering; and Victor K. Pare of Collingswood, N. J., Electrical Engineering. Lloyd L. Gray '49, son of Dr. Lloyd P. Gray '24 of Douglaston, entered Electrical Engineering last year with a Pepsi-Cola Scholarship. Two winners of Pepsi-Cola Scholarships are selected from each State by a special board composed of educators. Candidates must be voted by their senior classes in high schools as those "most likely to make an important contribution to human progress." They take a written aptitude test prepared and scored by the College Entrance Examination Board, and winners are selected by the PepsiCola Scholarship Board from among the twelve contestants in each State who score highest in this test. Scholarship winners must qualify for admission to the colleges they select. They receive all tuition and fees and $25 a month for four college years and travel expense for one round trip a year between home and college. The ten finalists in each State who do not win scholarships are awarded certificates of merit and $50 each. Freshmen in the University this year who received certificates of merit are Jean A. Feageans of Mineola, Arts; Charles H. Campbell of Chattanooga, Tenn., Charles L. Sweeney, Jr. of Wilmington, Del., and Stanford H. Taylor of Winnetka, 111., Chemical Engineering; William E. Bunyan of Highland Park, N. J., who also holds a Cornell National Scholarship, Mechanical Engineering; Robert D. Lamke of Rapid City, N. Dak., Civil Engineering; John H. Gay of Upper Darby, Pa., Engineering Physics; and Charles C. Peterson of Summit, N. J., who won the certificate last year and has entered Electrical Engineering after a year in the Navy. Other 1945 certificate winners are Jean M. Edgerton '49 of Simsbury, Conn., and Harry S. Wilbur '49, son of Harry S. Wilbur '14 of Gloversville. Rochester Elects NINETY-SEVEN members of the Cornell Club of Rochester, meeting for dinner December 6 at the Hotel Rochester, elected Kenneth G. Haxton '10 president for 1947, succeeding Ernest E.

Cornell University Press, Ithaca. 1946. xiv + 49 pages, $2. Any lover of fine books will covet this volume. Designed by John Warner of the University Press staff, it is exquisitely printed and bound by the George Grady Press, New York City. Content, format, and workmanship of the book all complement each other remarkably. It is a reprint of Professor Becker's contributionon Franklin to the Dictionary of American Biography, with an illuminating Prefatory Note, "Benjamin Franklin and Carl Becker," by Julian P. Boyd, librarian of Princeton University. Dr. Boyd astutely compares and contrasts the personalities and philosophies of "the Iowa farmer's boy of the 1870's and the Boston tallow chandler's son of the 1700's." Of Becker's biography, Boyd says: "In a style as beautifully clear as Franklin's, he has left us his own Cornell Alumni News sympathetic and understanding distillation of the essential Franklin. Except for Van Doren, whose pages are also warmed by the winds of the Middle West, no other writer has so nearly comprehended the wholeness of Franklin as Becker has done in this short biography. As an outline of a career, it is complete as a penetrating analysis of character, it can take its place among the best in the language." Magnum Opus The Greek Anthology in France and in the Latin Writers of the Netherlands to the Year 1800. By Professor James Button '24, Classics. Cornell University Press, Ithaca. 1946. 834 pages, $5. This fat book, dedicated by his colleague and former student to Professor Lane Cooper, is Volume XXVII of Cornell Studies in Classical Philology. It follows Professor Button's The Greek Anthology in Italy, published by the University Press in 1935, and completes the Continental background for a future study of the Greek Anthology in English literature. In chronological order are listed the many French and Dutch writers whose works contain translations from the epigrams of the Anthology, or allusions to them; each article contains a biographical sketch of the writer, a note on his debt to the Anthology and, where possible, specimens of his imitations. An admirable 78-page Introduction considers the wide influence of the Greek epigrams; a 218-page Register, at the end of the volume, records for each epigram in the Anthology every allusion to it that Professor Hutton has found. 1st das nίcht eίn magnum opus? Ja, das ίst eίn magnum opus!

Critical Origins The Fusion of Horatian and Aristotelian Literary Criticism, 1531-1555. By Marvin T.Herrick '21. University of Illinois Press, Urbana, 111. 1946. 124 pages, $1.50. "It is well known," writes Professor Herrick in his Introduction, "that formal literary criticism in western Europe stems from Horace and Aristotle." In this study, he examines these two classical authors, and particularly the Poetics of Aristotle and The Art of Poetry by Horace. Herrick thanks Professor Lane Cooper for "many valuable suggestions." The author received the AB in 1922 and the PhD in 1925; is now professor of English at Illinois. He is the son of Professor Glenn W. Herrick '96, Entomology, Emeritus, and Mrs. Herrick (Nannie Burke) '97.

For Next Lab Unit FOLDER prepared in the office of Vice-president S. C. Hollister in mid-December pictures and describes the proposed Metal Processing Unit of the new Materials and Metallurgy Laboratory for the College of Engi- neering. With funds in hand for a Materials Testing Unit, as announced in the December 15 ALUMNI NEWS, it is hoped that the Metal Processing Unit may be erected at the same time, and contributions toward its cost have already been received. The Metal Processing Unit will be the easterly wing of the huge new Laboratory along Cascadilla Gorge. It will adj oin the Materials Testing Unit, and both can be built without disturbing the Old Armory, which will have to be demolished for the other three units proposed: Foundry, Applied Metallurgy Laboratory, and a Nonmetallic Laboratory. The next projected structure will house the pattern shop and machine shop, both enlarged and reorganized from their present facilities in Rand Hall with addition of new equipment already in hand; a gauge laboratory with latest devices for precision control of industrial manufacturing operations, facilities for which have been arranged for with the Army Ordnance Department; and X-ray and other apparatus for inspection of metal products. Besides facilities for up-todate instruction, special research equipment will be installed for studying fundamental problems in stresses, metallurgy, cutting techniques, and tool design, along with efficient plant organization for manufacture of metal products. Alumni may obtain the folder on the Metal Processing Unit upon request to Vice-president Hollister, Olin Hall, Ithaca. Students from Abroad FOREIGN students enrolled in the A University this term total 245 from thirty-eight countries, according to Counselor of Foreign Students Donald C. Kerr '12. Of these, 141 are in the Graduate School and 104 are undergraduates; forty are women. The total does not include Puerto Ricans, Hawaiians, Americans from abroad, or American-born Chinese and Japanese, all of whom total forty. The University's pre-war peak of 185 foreign students is exceeded considerably, but the record enrollment is still 302 in last year's fall term. Largest contingent this year, 71, comes from Canada. India, with 39, has sent seven times as many students as at any time in the last twenty years: a reflection of the Indian Government's new scholarship program. In third place, the Chinese have dropped to 36 from a pre-war peak of 63, a result of inflation and other problems in that c.ountry. Other countries represented include Norway, with eight; Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico with seven each; Greece 260 and Turkey with six each the Netherlands and Cuba with five each; Venezuela with four; England, France, the Philippines, Panama, and Costa Rica with three each; two each from Switzerland, Egypt, Transjordan, Australia, Bermuda, Jamaica, South Africa, Argentina, Brazil; and one each from Belgium, Denmark, Iceland, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti. The community's annual reception for foreign students, suspended during the war, occupied Willard Straight Memorial Room, November 17. Sponsored by the Straight board of managers and directed by Gonzalo RagaMendoza '48 of Barquisimeto, Venezuela, foreign student representative on the board, the reception featured an address of welcome by President Edmund E. Day, who described this gathering of many different cultures as characteristic of Cornell. Coming Events FRIDAY, JANUARY 3 Westfield, N. J.: Assistant Coach Alvah E.

The Straight probably never had so much going on at once before, nor as many people enjoying it. Student Council sponsored fraternity and sorority Christmas parties for underpriviledged children from the Ithaca Reconstruction Home and settlement houses, the week before recess. Some 400 children from three to early teens were entertained, the Council providing refreshments and decorations. Fraternities and sororities invited the Faculty in for traditional milk punch and egg-nog, December 15. Their own Christmas parties the evening before were listed in the Sun variously, as "Under the Mistletoe Party/' "Winter Dance," "Coal Car Shuffle," "Barn Dance," "Old Clothes Mistletoe Race," "Sleigh Ride" . . . Freshman Class challenged the Sophomores to a pushball contest on Alumni Field. All underclassmen were summoned to the fray by the spirit and traditions committee of the Student Council, though the rules specified a limit of 1,000 men to each side. About sixty Frosh showed up and made short work of the forty contesting Sophs. Final score, after thirty minutes of apathetic pushing: 2-0. University of Rennes, in Britanny, France, by delegating its authority to Professor Lucien Woolf, Romance Languages, conferred the degree Doctor of Letters on a former student, Mrs. Y. Handy, December 14 in Goldwin Smith Hall. Mrs. Handy who now teaches French in the Buffalo Seminary, was unable to take her final examination for the degree because of the war and subsequent difficulties of travel. She was examined by a committee including Professors Mor- January /, 1947 ris Bishop, Romance Languages, Curtis P. Nettles, History, H.

He was long a member of the old Town and Gown Club, a charter member and secretary for twenty-three years of the Rotary Club, and was active in other business and civic organizations. His daughter is Mrs. Russel C. Parker (Jean Atkinson) '38 of Glen Cove. CHRISTMAS exodus began early, ^^ as usual. Students hit the trail several days before the Saturday noon deadline, December 21. Greyhound busses were jammed. The Lehigh Valley ran two special trains to New York Friday, with a capacity of 1,000, and added extra cars to all regular trains. Robinson Airlines used its entire fleet, adding extra sections to its daily three flights to New York. For those students who spent the two-week holiday on the Hill, Willard Straight Hall was Mecca. The building has never been more beautifully decorated. A fine fat tree in the main lobby was complemented throughout the Hall with evergreens, mistletoe, and candles. The student poster committee hung a large Christmas card over the entrance to the Memorial Room, and transformed the tall game windows, over the main entrance, into "stained glass" with crepe-paper angels, stars, candles, and a vast holly wreath. The Straight remained open daily, serving meals, cutting hair, racking up billard balls, and dispensing newspapers and cigarettes. Principal special event during the recess was the annual Christmas Eve party. And the Star of Bethlehem shone through the cold clear nights from McGraw Hall tower. Music added to the Christmas spirit on the Campus and down the Hill. Sage Chapel was thronged December 15 for the'annual concert by the Sage Chapel Choir, directed by Professor Donald J. Grout. Ithaca College took over Bailey Hall December 19 for a free performance of Handel's "Messiah," with a chorus of 250 voices and an orchestra of seventy student musicians; every seat was taken. Annual Christmas program at the First Presbyterian Church was led by Eric Dudley, former director of the Glee Club. And CURW carollers again toured the snow-sheathed Campus. Coach John F. Moakley, eighty-three December 11, was feted at his home on Willard Way by members of the track and cross country teams, who presented him with cigars and a pair of fur-lined gloves, "to keep him warm" as he daily supervises track candidates.

Ladd '08, Dean of Agriculture, was increased by $6,760 from the proceeds of a Holstein calf auctioned and redonated forty-seven times at the Earlville sale, December 4. The three-months-old purebred heifer was originally given to be sold for the Ladd Scholarship Fund by Irving U. Scott, breeder of high-producing Holsteins at Hamilton, who was a friend of Dean Ladd's. The donor's son, Waldo I. Scott, a Senior in Agriculture, told the auction crowd of the purposes of the Fund, which is being raised among New York State farmers and other friends of Dean Ladd to finance scholarships of $200 a year in the College of Agriculture for deserving students from New York State. Thereupon, the auctioneer, Austin Backus, told the crowd they could buy the calf as many times as they wished. Again and again she was "knocked down" at prices ranging from $200 to $300 to benefit the Fund, to cries of "Sell her again!" Forty-eighth and final purchaser was Mrs. Tres Jackson, owner of the General Cochran Farm at Fort Plain. Last May, the Aberdeen-Angus Breeders' Association auctioned a beef heifer to add $2,000 to the Fund, and during the summer a sheep auctioned by the State Purebred Sheep Improvement Association increased the Fund $115. Carl Ladd Scholarship Fund now totals more than $70,000 toward the goal of $100,000 to finance twenty Scholarships annually. Treasurer of the Fund is Thomas E. Lament '27 of Albion. First Carl E.
