University Takes Part in IGY Studies

IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTIONS are being made by the University to an International Geophysical Year which has suddenly taken on new and dramatic meaning with the successful launching of two earth satellites by the Soviet Union. While not directly concerned with earth satellites, two of the three areas of IGY research being concentrated upon at Cornell are concerned with scientific phenomena of the upper atmosphere: the aurora and ionospheric physics. The third area of research, solar activity, is related in many ways to atmospheric studies.
All Countries Pool Research
World wide in scope and extending for eighteen months, from July 1, 1957, to December 31, 1958, the IGY is probably the greatest organized intellectual enterprise ever undertaken by man. Sixty-four countries, including such mutually antagonistic nations as Nationalist China and Red China, have joined together to coordinate their research and pool their knowledge of man's physical environment. Each nation pays its own way and supplies its own equipment. Before the launching of the Russian "sputniks," the United States had budgeted $39 million for general research and an additional $100 million for the satellite program. In view of Russia's scientific challenge, however, it is probable that both these figures will be increased substantially before the end of the IGY. Investigations are being carried out in the fields of oceanography, meteorology, glaciology, gravity and seismology, and longitudes and latitudes and in the phenomena of the upper atmosphere, which includes studies on cosmic rays, geomagnetism, earth satellites, the aurora, ionospheric physics, and solar activity. It is with the last three fields of this group that the University's IGY projects are concerned.
As data center for visual observations of the aurora, Cornell receives reports from observers throughout the Western Hemisphere and from those in Australia

and New Zealand. In those regions where auroras are relatively rare, visual observations are being relied upon however, where aurora displays are particularly prevalent and where the necessary equipment is available, data are being taken with cameras, radar apparatus, and several types of spectographs. At the processing center at Cornell, all auroral activity that has been reported is plotted on a large map, which makes it possible to check the accuracy of each report. By exchange with the other two world data centers, in Moscow and Edinburgh, the University is able to maintain a complete file of information on the aurora.
Besides serving as a data center, the University has set up extensive equipment in Ithaca to study auroral activity. A radar antenna probes the skies twentyfour hours a day; a spectograph breaks up the aurora's light into its different wave lengths and shows what gases cause the glow; an all-sky camera, which utilizes a convex mirror to photograph the entire sky at once, takes minute-byminute pictures to record changes in the aurora. Cornell is, incidentally, also a sub-center for all-sky camera data, the main center being at University of Alaska.
Studied Aurora Since 1938
An aurora occurs when charged particles from the sun hit the earth's atmosphere. The earth's magnetic field deflects them toward the poles, where they excite gases in the atmosphere. When these gases return to normal, the released energy produces the beautiful lights and colors which have caused the aurora borealis to be called the "northern lights." (A similar phenomenon, about which even less is known, occurs in the southern hemisphere and is called the aurora australis, or "southern lights." Simultaneous observations are being made of both auroras during the IGY.) It is known that these primary particles are masses of hydrogen ions, released in tremendous explosions on the sun, near the sunspots. The same showers of par-

ticles cause magnetic storms, which in turn cause a great amount of trouble for radio communications on earth. Information about the aurora can help scientists solve or avoid some of these disruptions.
Heading the IGY Auroral Data Center at the University is Professor Carl W. Gartlein, PhD '29, Physics. A recognized authority in auroral research, Professor Gartlein has since 1938 been in charge of a research project on the aurora sponsored jointly by the University and National Geographic Society. During October and November, he was at Little America in the Antarctic, inspecting aurora apparatus installations. Professor Henry G. Booker, Electrical Engineering & Engineering Physics, is in charge of the program to study the aurora by means of radar and radio astronomy. He is a member of the US National Committee for the IGY.
Conditions Affect Communications
Closely linked to the study of the aurora are the fields of ionospheric physics and solar activity. The ionosphere is a region in the atmosphere existing from fifty to 200 miles above the earth's surface. This region is an ever changing, electrified area which encircles the entire earth and which contains layers of dense ionization. From these layers, radio waves are turned back earthward, making possible long-distance radio communication. Ionospheric conditions are responsible for radio echoes and fade-outs and also dictate the selection of suitable frequencies for daytime and night broadcasting. During the IGY, special studies are being made to determine the height and the dynamic and absorption properties of the ionosphere. It is in gathering information about the ionosphere's absorption characteristics that the University is most concerned. Cornell's Ionospheric Laboratory, under the direction of Professor Booker, is working with thirty-three other stations in the United States for this important phase of IGY work.
As important as any single study being undertaken during the IGY is the study of solar activity. Not only do scientists

275

hope to learn more about conditions which determine our weather, but also about some of the more subtle effects of solar activity, such as the role played by the sun in communications of the polar regions. Here at Cornell, a constant watch is kept on the sun by the Radio Astronomy Laboratory, one of a chain of similar stations around the world. Under the direction of Professor Marshall H. Cohen, Electrical Engineering, the staff sends two telegrams a day to the IGY Regional Warning Center at Fort Belvoir, Va., giving the rate of radio radiation from the sun and the number of violent outbursts measured there. Since October, the University has also been sending information on the positions of these outbursts on the solar disk by means of a "Christianson type" interferometer. This instrument, which has just been built by Cornell, consists of sixteen antennae mounted on telephone poles and extends for more than a halfmile. Since large disturbances on the sun are frequently followed within a day by auroral displays and magnetic storms here on earth, the data sent by the University and other IGY observation stations are used immediately to predict events of interest to scientists studying the aurora and other atmospheric phenomena. The data will also be used later for a long-range study of the relationship between solar and terrestrial phenomena.
Research being done on the Campus for the IGY has generated interest among the students. The Cornell Engi-

neer devoted its entire November issue to a survey of the IGY, with Alan S. Rosenthal '59 reporting on the work being done here, and the Cornell Sun ran a series of three articles, written by Janet C. Rountree '58, on the University's contribution to the IGY.
Sidney Chapman, professor of physics, emeritus, at Oxford University and chairman of the international committee supervising the IGY, spoke here December 2 on "The Outer Ionosphere and the Interplanetary Gas." Since his retirement, he has conducted research at the High Altitude Observatory of University of Colorado and at the Geophysical Institute in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Nation Needs Humanities
PRESIDENT DEANE W. MALOTT gave a
statement to the Sun, November 26, following the report from the US Office of Education on the Russian system of teaching science in the schools. The President said:
"Recent evidence of Russian superiority in science and engineering has come as a distinct shock to the American people. From many quarters have come urgent suggestions for an overhauling of the American system of education to compete with the regimented educational channeling required by the totalitarian Soviet.
"Any dramatic shock to awaken interest by the public in our educational problems is welcomed by American edu-

It will be restored by the Garden Club of Ithaca as a memorial to Mrs. Farrand, founder and first president of the Club, who died last October 10. Most of the background planting, ground cover, brick work, and three benches are still in place. The beds, bordered with privet, will be replanted with a succession of white flowers.

cators at all levels. It may well produce more support, both financial and moral, for the great needs that lie before us. It may, and should, quicken our own efforts at self-appraisal.
"We must, however, guard against the tendency to over-emphasis upon science and engineering training, to the neglect of the great fields of the humanities and social sciences, upon which our democracy must rely for the basic understanding of the great responsibilities we face, and the unselfishness and patience and tact so necessary for the leadership that is ours.
"Science alone, important as it indubitably is in the restlessness of today, cannot alone assure our freedom for tomorrow. The basic need of our time is for greater understanding by more people, understanding of the fundamentals of political, moral, and economic leadership; an ability to appraise the feelings, the frustrations, and the ideals of other peoples and cultures in order that our motives may be clear, that our objectives may always be scrutinized under the cold light of our integrity, and that our actions be sharply aligned with the principles which have made the nation great."
Cornell Line Continues
WILLIAM BOUGK CORNELL '07, great-
grandson of Ezra Cornell and life Trustee of the University, died November 22 in Montclair, N.J., where he lived at 197 Grove Street. He became Trustee at the death of his father, Charles Ezra Cornell, January 29, 1947, under the provision of the University Charter that "The eldest lineal male descendant of Ezra Cornell shall be a trustee during his life." He is succeeded by his son, William Ezra Cornell '40, the courts and the University having interpreted the Charter provision to mean primogeniture, "the oldest male descendant in oldest line of descent." Trustee Charles E. Cornell was the eldest son of Alonzo B. Cornell, eldest son of the Founder.
William B. Cornell entered Sibley College in 1903 from Ithaca High School, received the ME in 1907, and was instructor in Civil Engineering the next year. After industrial and engineering work in the West, he became in 1921 chairman of the department of management and industrial relations at NYU and retired in 1950. He wrote many books and articles on industrial organization and management was a member of Alpha Tau Omega, Sphinx Head, Alpha Kappa Psi, ASME, and the American Management Association.

He and Mrs. Cornell have a son, Ezra Cornell, eleven years old, and a daughter, Candace Emily Cornell, six.
Bristow Adams Dies
PROFESSOR BRISTOW ADAMS, Extension
Service, Emeritus, died in Ithaca, November 19, eight days after his eightysecond birthday. He had been ill since December 26, 1956.
Professor Adams had many talents and wide interests, but he is best remembered by literally hundreds of Cornellians as their friend and wise counselor. For more than forty years, he and Mrs. Adams welcomed students Monday nights in their home at 202 Fall Creek Drive and the conversations there were an essential part of learning and growing up. These were not only the students he taught in his classes in journalism and conservation, but they brought friends and many others came to know BA and Mrs. Adams, as did their children who followed at Cornell. Here came most of those who worked on student publications, and through the years BA was adviser to most of these, officially and unofficially. In the Adams living room, January 24, 1920, the Cornell chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, was installed and Professor Adams was for years its guiding spirit and in 1929-30 was national honorary president. Not only Cornellians who followed the profession of journalism but hundreds of others remember the warm friendliness, the fun, and real understanding of the principles of living that came to them in the Adams household.
The Cornellian for 1956 was dedicated by its staff to Bristow Adams as "a man whose contributions to Cornell and its students will remain as a testimonial to his warm humanity and boundless energy long after the man has left the Cornell scene." His name is memorialized in the Bristow Adams National Scholarship that is endowed with gifts of some $25,000 from his friends. Typical of the diversity of his interests is the fact that this endowment fund supports a life income for Jessica Holland, who

BA at Track Meet—For more than thirty years, Professor Bristow Adams was head referee of all track meets in Ithaca. He is pictured here at the Dartmouth meet in Barton Hall, January 10, 1953, with the cocaptains of the 1951 Varsity team who came back as officials. At left is Robert C.

ran the Cornell Daily Sun office for forty-five years, and later will support undergraduate scholarships with preference for students interested in the humanities and journalism.
Professor Adams came to the University in 1914 as the first head of the publication and information service of the College of Agriculture. He organized and taught courses in journalism and a course on Conservation of Natural Resources until he retired in 1944 and taught Summer Session courses in painting and drawing and a journalism class in the School of Industrial & Labor Relations. He conceived in 1944 the quarterly publication, The Cornell Plantations, to promote interest in the development of University lands as a great botanic and wildlife area and carried it on as a "labor of love," the last issue carrying the dateline, Spring, 1957. He was associate editor of the ALUMNI NEWS from 1920-26 and wrote the firstpage news "briefs" for the then weekly issues.
From 1920-45, he was Faculty adviser for track, and until about 1954, he refereed track meets, in top hat and tails in Barton Hall and meticulously dressed in white flannels and blue coat for outdoor meets. His portrait in Moakley House is the gift of Edwin I. Kilbourne '17. He was active in the Savage Club and last appeared in its show of October, 1956. His Saturday morning radio broadcasts, "Let's Read a Book," were a popular feature from Station WHCU for many years, and he was a frequent guest on the "Farm Paper of the Air" and other programs of Station WGY in Schenectady.
During the University's Semi-Centen-

nial Endowment Fund campaign in 1920-21, BA wrote and spoke widely to Cornell groups and he was always a favorite speaker at Cornell Clubs. He was an active and interested member of Alpha Gamma Rho and Quill & Dagger and was a member of Sigma Xi, of numerous professional organizations, and of the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The Class of '24 elected him an honorary member. For his services to the weekly newspapers of the State, he was made the first and only honorary director for life of the New York State Press Association and he had been president of the American Association of Agricultural College Editors and the American Association of College News Bureaus. He was an Ithaca alderman from 1947-55 and was elected actingmayor in four administrations.
Born in Washington, D.C, November 11, 1875, he was a founder and editor there of The Pathfinder before he went to Stanford, where he received the AB in 1900. At Stanford, he edited or illustrated all the student publications and founded the humor magazine, The Chaparral; in 1897-98, went to the PribilofT Islands with the Bering Sea Fur Seal Commission and illustrated its reports. Back in Washington, he was cofounder and managing editor of Washington Life, then editor of American Spectator for a year, and was in charge of the US Forest Service office of information from 1906-14.

Messenger Lecturer
MESSENGER LECTURES on "The Basis of Heredity" were given the first two weeks of December by Guido Pontecorvo, head of the department of genetics at Glasgow University. The six lectures dealt with such aspects of heredity as "Methods of Analysis in Heredity," "Molecular Genetics," and "The Uniqueness of the Individual."
Born in Pisa, Italy, and a graduate of the University of Pisa in 1928 and University of Edinburgh in 1941, Professor Pontecorvo is recognized as a world authority on mycological genetics, which is the study of heredity and variation in fungi, largely in their evolutionary aspects. Before assuming his present post at University of Glasgow, he was head of the animal breeding division of the Ministry of Agriculture in Florence, Italy. In 1955 he was made a fellow of the Royal Society of London and last year he delivered a series of lectures at Columbia University.

"A cool, carefully calculated reach for victory." Those were the words sports writer Damon Runyon used some 42 years ago to describe thestroking to victory of a Cornell oarsman named John Lyon Collyer. Runyon's description could equally well apply to the way the president of B. F. Goodrich does everything.

He had worked out a few stop-gap ideas for under developed countries and these Lenin elaborated upon. It was Lenin who developed the theory of the party (an elite of dedicated professional revolutionists), labeled it the "dictatorship of the proletariat," and embarked on a campaign of ruthless sabotage and organized chaos to set the stage for that dictatorship. It is this system of forced change imposed by a minority that swept Russia, then China, and has such an appeal in agricultural and non-industrialized areas with bitter memories of colonialism.

Semitic Mss. in the Library

By ISAAC RABINOWITZ, Biblical & Hebrew Studies

WHILE CHECKING
the Library's holdings in the fields of Semitica, Hebraica, and Judaica, I was agreeably surprised to discover, among the treasures of the Rare Book Room, a small collection of manuscripts in several of the Semitic languages. In addition to a group of eight which are in Semitic script (Arabic) though not Semitic in language, there are about eighteen manuscripts described in the Rare Book Room's Shelf-List, the only record now available, as texts in Arabic, Ethiopic, Samaritan, Samaritan-Arabic, or Hebrew. At the request of Professor George Healey and Felix Reichmann of the Library staff, I have been checking these manuscripts in an effort to increase the rather scanty information about them available in the Shelf-List, and, where necessary, to correct the List. Hence, while I have not yet had opportunity to examine all the texts in the Cornell collection, I am able to make a preliminary report about several of the items.
Examples of Samaritan Scripts It may be well to remind the reader,
however, that not all manuscripts are rare, or valuable, or both. Among these at Cornell, for instance, are several Korans: literally thousands of handwritten copies of this sacred Muslim book are extant in all parts of the world, both in libraries and in the hands of private owners. The same may be said of the Hebrew Scroll of Esther, a specimen of which is also in the collection. With such manuscripts, extrinsic details like age, calligraphy, and illumination or ornamentation are of more interest than the manuscript-text itself for the text is so well-known that, unless a particular manuscript can be shown to contain variants which merit a claim to "originality" alongside those of the established readings, it has little or no philological value.
There are two copies of the Samaritan-Hebrew Pentateuch in the Cornell collection, one in codex-form, lacking only the Book of Numbers, the other a magnificently-written scroll about seventy-five feet long. Both are written in the Samaritan character, a script directly descended from that used in ancient Canaan by the Hebrews as well as by such peoples as the Moabites and the Phoenicians. In addition to a liturgical work, also in Samaritan-Hebrew script and language, the collection contains a Samaritan-Arabic work formerly erroneously entered in the Shelf-List as the "Samaritan Book of Joshua." I was

sorry indeed to discover that this entry was wrong, since manuscripts of this important historical work are all but nonexistent the one at Leiden, in Samaritan character and Arabic language, was published by T. Juynboll in 1846 under the title Chronicum Samaritanum . . . cui titulus est Liber Josuae; it too is now extremely rare.
In compensation for this disappointment, however, the Cornell Library's Samaritan-Arabic manuscript turned out to be a copy, in another recension, of a manuscript in the writer's own possession. Its title is Dalit al-sharc wa-l-naql wa-l-aql, "Guide to Religious Law, Tradition and Reason;" the ten "gates," or chapters, into which the work is divided touch upon virtually all aspects of modern Samaritan faith and religious observance and allow us to see, at first hand, how the dwindling modern remnant of this offshoot from late-Biblical Judaism regards its own history and tradition. Although this book has never been published in its original Arabic text, an English translation of a muchabridged version appeared in 1913 under the editorship of William E. Barton in Bibliotheca Sacra, vol. 70 (also issued separately in the same year). The uncatalogued Moses Gaster collection of Samaritan-Hebrew and Samaritan-Arabic Mss., now in the British Museum, contains at least two additional copies of the Dalil; and the Sassoon Library in England also has two mss. The late Dr. Gaster had a translation of the 10th chapter (dealing with the resurrection of the dead) made into Hebrew, which he then translated into English and published in his Samaritan Eschatology. A critical edition of the original Arabic text of the Dalil is an obvious desideratum; and any prospective editor will certainly need to consult this Cornell manuscript.
Traditions of Prophet Mohammed Another Arabic manuscript in the col-
lection is a fine specimen of one of the six canonical collections of traditions of the Prophet Mohammed, the Sunan ("Traditions") of Abu 'Abdullah Muhammad ibn Yazid ibn Majah. The traditions of the Prophet—what he did, said, and did not forbid—constitute one of the main elements of the shari'ah ("way"), the normative religious law of Sunnite Muslim society. The traditions assembled by Ibn Majah (824-886 A.D.) included many whose genuineness was regarded as dubious; hence it was not until the twelfth century that his collection was admitted to the ranks of the canonical six, and perhaps it is for this reason that manuscripts of his Sunan

are not so frequently found. According to its colophon, the Cornell copy was finished on Thursday, the 17th of Rajab, 1156 A.H.=Sept. 6, 1743, and was written at the order of a Wazir named Yahya Pasha. As the name of the place is not given, just where Yahya Pasha occupied his office is not certain, though other indications in the manuscript lead me to conjecture that this must have been somewhere in North Africa. Other mss. of Ibn Majah's Sunan are at the British Museum and at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, as well as at mosque-libraries in Algiers, Istanbul, Patna, and elsewhere in the Middle East. A lithographed edition appeared in quarto at Lucknow in 1315 A.H.=1897/8 A.D., and a two-volume octavo edition was printed at Cairo in 1313=1895/6.
Rare Hebrew Arithmetic Our final "specimen" is a small He-
brew codex containing two arithmetical texts by a Jewish scholar of the fourteenth (?) century, Joseph ben Moses ha-Sarephatti. The second, much shorter text is called Sepher ha-Heshbon, "Book of Calculation"; the first bears the title Ίr Sihon, "City of Sihon." Sihon, as readers of the Bible will recall, was the Amorite king who would not let the Israelites pass through his territory when they were enroute to the promised land; Numbers 21:26 tells us that "Heshbon was the city of Sihon," and when we realize that the Hebrew word heshbon means "arithmetical calculation" we have no difficulty in understanding that a book called "City of Sihon" (Heshbon) should be a treatise on arithmetic.
Beyond the fact that he wrote on arithmetic, very little is known about Joseph ben Moses ha-Sarephatti. His name indicates French origin; the wellknown Italian Jewish family of this name presumably settled in Italy after the expulsion of the Jews from France in 1394. At any rate, there is no doubt about the fact that the Cornell manuscript once belonged to various Italian Jewish owners the scribal style is of the late mediaeval Franco-German sort commonly found in Italian Hebrew manuscripts of the fifteenth century.
The larger of the two texts consists of a short preface and eleven chapters, the last of which is mainly devoted to problems. In addition to the Cornell manuscript, only two others are known: one is at the Staatsbibliothek in Munich, the other at the Vatican in Rome. The Munich manuscript does not contain the shorter text—a compendious, practical "calculator"—included in the Cornell codex; I am unable, at the moment of writing, to determine whether the same is true of the Vatican manuscript. We may be certain, however, that this Cornell manuscript may justly be pronounced a rarity; and in the judgment

of M. Steinschneider, the great bibliographer who described the Munich copy, Sarephatti's work is of value for the history of arithmetic.
Small as the collection of Semitic manuscripts at Cornell is^ it is thus seen to contain unexplored materials of relevance to the history of religion and of science. In assembling such documents, together with the other literary resources necessary to their exploration, the University Library helps to make possible not merely the conservation of the heritage of the past, but that improvement of our understanding of civilization and culture which is perhaps our surest defense against barbarism.
Study Food Residues
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE received
$20,000 from the US Department of Health, Education & Welfare for remodeling and purchasing additional equipment for its Pesticide Residue Laboratory. The Laboratory, on Tower Road near Judd Falls Road, was set up last year to devise and run tests on the amount of residue left on food crops after pesticide treatment. The findings of the Laboratory are important to farmers because Federal law governs how much residue, if any, is allowed on products going to market. The Laboratory, administered by the Entomology Department, is directed by Professor Donald J. Lisk, PhD '56, Pesticidal Chemistry.
Heads Parents' Group
CHAIRMAN of the University Parents Committee this year is Christian C. Yegen (above). Graduate of Columbia in 1927, Yegen is a finance consultant in Teaneck, N.J. One daughter, Mrs. Archibald H. Beard, Jr. (Laura Yegen) '56, is in the Class of '58 at the School of Nursing in New York City; another is the wife of Kenneth W. Reddin, who

is in the Graduate School of Business & Public Administration. Yegen has been a member of the Parents Committee for two years; he succeeds John P. Smoots as chairman.
The Parents Committee has thirtyfive members who are parents of Cornel-

lians but who did not attend the University. It was formed in 1950 to give non-Cornell parents of students an opportunity to help the University. Since its inception, it has raised more than $218,000 and last year $30,239 was given by 989 parents.

University Operates "in the Black Report Shows 1956-7 Surplus

OPERATION of the University last year involved current expenditures of more than $42,600,000. This is shown in the Financial Report for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 1957, presented to the Board of Trustees by Controller Arthur H. Peterson, MA '34, and Treasurer Lewis H. Durland '30. The report does not include the three subsidiary corporations wholly owned by the University: the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory in Buffalo, the Campus Store in Ithaca, and the Cornell Research Foundation.
The financial officers report that "The University as a whole operated in the black during the past year, ending the period with a surplus of $284,587.42 for the Endowed Colleges. The surplus for the Endowed Colleges at Ithaca, amounting to $203,448.74, was applied to the accumulated deficit reducing that item to $9,342.03. The Medical College in New York had a surplus of $81,138.68 which was credited to the Medical College Reserve leaving a balance in that account of $138,946.51. The State-supported divisions of the University all operated within the funds available for their use."
Enterprises and services related to the academic operation had gross volume of $10,642,929.57 and "had as a group a net excess of income over expenses of $23,942.95. The surplus or loss in the operation of each of these activities was transferred to the reserve relating to the respective operation." These include heating, electric, and water utilities and shops, purchasing, residential and dining halls, various office services, Infirmary, concerts, University Press, WHCU Radio Station, Statler Inn, Willard Straight Hall, and the Athletic Division. (The year's deficit for Athletics of $160,187.73 was covered from general University funds.)
The University received $17,836,629.49 in gifts last year, setting a new record for the third consecutive year. Included are two large gifts from the Ford Foundation: a Faculty Salary Fund of $4,142,000 the income to be used for 'teaching salaries'; and an Instructional Fund of $3,600,000, the income for ten years to be 'used for instructional costs in the Medical College.' The Alumni Fund again set a new record

with unrestricted gifts totalling $707,587.58, an increase of 17.6 per cent over the previous year. This came from 16,318 contributors, also a new record.
Student aid was increased to a total of $1,923,211.46 of which $761,219.82 came from unrestricted funds.
The report notes that "For the fourth consecutive year, 5 per cent was paid on the endowments participating in the investment pool. After these payments, there was $562,642.20 of excess income which was added to the Income Stabilization Reserve, resulting in a total reserve of $3,675,946.69.
"In addition to the income from investments, we had net capital gains from the sale of stocks and bonds in the amount of $1,157,247.43 which was added to the reserve for bond and stock losses. This reserve now totals $14,192,533.31. The reserve for losses on real estate was increased from $103,276.42 to $192,171.59. The total of all these realized reserves, including the Income Stabilization Reserve, is $18,060,651.59. A further cushion against any decline in the market value of our investments is the excess of market values over book values in the amount of $19,083,328.31.
"During the year, the dollar amount of the investments at market value increased from $99,000,000 on June 30, 1956, to $108,000,000. About 50 per cent of this portfolio was invested in equities."
University grounds and buildings are carried at cost value totalling $69,380,064.25 and equipment is valued at $27,999,373.00.
To House More Women
T H E UNIVERSITY has purchased the
Thurston Court apartment building and will remodel it to house about fifty women students next fall. The white brick building just north of the swinging bridge across Fall Creek where Highland Avenue crosses Thurston Avenue is on the site of the home of the late Professor Edward B. Titchenor, Psychology. It was designed by the late Jes J. Dall, Jr. '16 and built by him and Fred A. Rogalsky '16 in 1931-32. It was sold to a Buffalo firm, from which the University purchased it.

McAniff Sets Gain Record Robert J. McAniff '58, the season's
big gainer, was guarded zealously. He gained only thirty-eight yards in thirteen carries. His season's personal total was a handsome 700 yards in 140 carries for a very tidy five-yard average and a modern Cornell record which made him tops in the Ivy League (580 yards), and in third place among all Eastern teams. His relative ineffectiveness on Thanksgiving Day was hurtful. And last year's hero, Irving Roberson '58, did not help at all as he watched from the bench in protection of his injured knee.
Penn's big man,Frank Riepl, was even more ineffectual. He had a net loss of thirty yards. Penn partisans and victoryhungry Philadelphia sports scribes made much of his spiritual guidance and strategical brilliance in calling the Quaker plays. This is undoubtedly a fair trib-

Fireball John Webster carried the kickoff back twenty-six yards to the 32. Webster and Wilson combined to get the ball to the 45. Brogan then went into the air. He passed for sixteen yards to end F. Norman Juvonen '59. Webster went for five and Brogan went nineteen more on a keeper. McAniff and Brogan took it to the 3 and first down. First down on the 3! Brogan went to the 2 on the first play. An offside penalty brought it back to the 7 and still second down. Brogan juggled the center snap and was thrown for a five-yard loss. Brogan lateralled to McAniff and McAniff's toss intended for Wilson was knocked down by the omnipresent Doelling. McAniff's end run only gained two and Penn had the ball on the 10.
Penn's second score came in 13:16 of the last quarter after Cornell, trying desperately to score, gave up the ball on its own 27 after deliberately passing on fourth down. Hanlon did most of the damage, but Riepl took it through center for eight yards and the score. This was the longest Penn gain through the middle of the tough Cornell line.

Freshmen Swamp Penn Yearlings
Playing with a vigor and coordination previously missing, the Freshman football team overwhelmed Penn, 32-7, on a brisk but bright November 23 on Schoellkopf Field. There were about 1500 people there.
Right from the outset the Red youngsters showed valiant qualities by stopping the Penn attack cold. In the first half, Penn got past the 50-yard line once and then only to the 35. Cornell could score only once in the first half, but it clearly dominated the proceedings. A twelve-yard pass from quarterback Marcello Tino of Binghamton to end John Fenton of Lewisburg, Pa., accounted for the first score.
Cornell did not take long to assert its offensive power in the second half. Charles Allison of Reynoldsville, Pa., the offensive star of the game, wound up a sixty-two-yard drive by romping twenty-five yards for the second one. End John M. Biggs of Auburndale, Mass, was an outstanding operative. He grabbed a blocked pass by the Penn quarterback, George Koval, and sprinted sixty yards for a score in the third period to make it 19-0 and in the fourth he blocked a punt and it was recovered in the end zone by

center George H. Hoffman of Reading, Pa. This made it 25-0 and subquarterback Robert Yablonski of Pottstown, Pa. ran it over for the extra point to bring it to 26-0. Evidently there were no place kickers available, for none were tried.

Show Promise For Next Year
The last Cornell score came on a seven-yard pass by third-string quarterback David Pitkin of Kenmore to halfback John Beeby of Rosemont, Pa. Beeby had shown some strong running during his brief appearance. Also encouraging was the running of fullback Robert Palmisciano of Lincoln, R.I. His powerful rushing broke the game wide open in the third period. There is fine line material available for the Varsity next season, on the basis of this showing.
Penn did not score until Coach Paul Patten had emptied his bench. It moved the ball sixty-five yards in the last two minutes for its only sustained drive of the day. Larry Harding ran forty-three yards and quarterback Wilson Gray ran for the TD on a wide end sweep of seventeen yards.
The Red Freshmen finished with a 2-3 record, having also beaten Manlius and lost to Yale, Syracuse, and Colgate. Penn wound up with 2-4.
Definitely encouraging were the performances and measurements of the following line men: tackles Ronald L. Hall, 5 feet 11, 220 pounds, of Harrisburg, Pa., and S. Woodrow Spanogle, 6 feet 6V2, 220 pounds, of Lancaster, Pa.; guards Warren E. Sundstrom, 5 feet 11, 195 pounds, of Medford, Mass., John K. Hanly, 6 feet 1, 215 pounds, of Jersey City, N.J., and John E. Trimpey, 5 feet 10, 190 pounds, of Connellsville, Pa. The lineups and statistics:

Other Sports
IN ITS BEST showing of the year, the lightweight football team was beaten by Princeton, 15-6, on Lower Alumni Field, November 23. They played well enough to win. They could not get a score across until the fourth period, but wound up the first half on the Princeton 3 as time expired. The loss of Ithacan Robert J. Flynn '58 in the first half was a severe blow. He was knocked out after making a beautiful thirty-three-yard run. Princeton was penalized fifteen yards for roughness, but Flynn was lost thereafter.
Princeton's first score did not come until four minutes to go in the first half, when it drove fifty-three yeards for a TD. Cornell roared right back, only to have time run out. Princeton made it 13-0 early in the fourth on a pass from quarterback Henry Bruce to end Don Bartlett. Cornell came right back and scored on a fine sixty-yard drive, climaxed by a buck from the 2 and a touchdown by Michael H. Kaufman '60, the quarterback, who played sixty minutes. Kaufman, desperately trying to tie the score in the waning minutes,was trapped behind the goal line attempting to pass and a safety made it 15-6.
In its first year under Coach William DeGraaf '56, the 150-pound team had a 1-5 record, defeating only Penn.

Varsity polo team's unbeaten string of five games came to an end, November 23, in the Riding Hall when Milwaukee Polo Club defeated it, 12-14. The two teams matched goal-for-goal through the first chukker, 4-4. In the second, however, Milwaukee outscored the Red, 8-2, and that was decisive. Maurice H. Houseman, Jr. '54 and Robert E. Stuerzebecher '54, former Big Red stars, were outstanding for Milwaukee. They managed to hold high scorer Peter D. Baldwin '59 to one goal. Captain Pablo Toro '58 was outstanding for Cornell.
Charles W. Carpenter '59 of Binghamton broke his own Teagle Hall record for the 200-yard butterfly by making it in 2: 35.7 during the University swimming championships, November 22.
Freshman John O. Delameter of Poughkeepsie beat out several members of the Varsity cross country squad to win the Hobe Young race over an eight-mile course, November 22. His time was 46:14. His Classmate Peter W. Brandeis was second by a scant five seconds and then Varsity men Arlon P. Georger '58, James W. Palmer '60, and David G. Cadiz '59 followed in order. Grad student and track captain in 1944 James M. Hartshorne '46 tied with Robert M. Lochtie '60 of Sussex, England. November 28, Delameter finished second to Robert Cheves of Syracuse University in a YMCA-sponsored ten-mile race at Poughkeepsie. Cheves won by 400 yards in 56:18. Delameter's time was 57:00.
Cornell sailors took sixth place among twelve teams in the Midwest Fall Invitation Regatta on Lake Michigan at Chicago, November 30 & December 1. They scored behind Brown, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio State, and Wisconsin, each champion of its district. Clayton D. Root III '59 as skipper and Harlan I. Halsey '60 as crew finished second in Division B, taking four first places, two seconds, and two thirds. They were second-high-point crew in the regatta.

Schedule Winter Sports
CHAMPIONSHIP MEET of the Heptagonal Games Association will be in Barton Hall again, March 8, for the sixth successive year.
With the first full year's operation of the indoor skating rink in James Lynah Hall, opened last spring, a Varsity hockey schedule is announced by Robert J. Kane '34, Director of Physical Educa-

tion & Athletics. Hockey was given up in 1948-49, after the ice on Beebe Lake and at Dwyer's Dam had proved too unreliable. The last game played here was against Army at Dwyer's Dam, January 17, 1948, and that season only four games could be played. Varsity hockey teams started in 1896. Coach Paul E. Patten has had a Varsity squad of twenty-three and twenty Freshmen practicing three times a week in Lynah Hall since November 1.

NINE THOUSAND or so students left the Hill for Thanksgiving vacation, November 27, and a few hundred of them braved rain and odds against Cornell to attend the Pennsylvania game at Franklin Field. Though the event was traditional, the score was not, as Pennsylvania won for the first time since1952.

We returned to find the December 2 Cornell Daily Sun reporting the possible doubling of tuition at some Ivy League schools. This, though Cornell has not announced an increase, brought howls of protest from undergraduates already feeling the burden of $550 a term expenses. In the same issue of the Sun, the editors took a stand against a central State University campus. At the moment

Nine fraternities participated in work projects at Cayuga Conference Camp on the west side of the Lake. This is a day camp for Ithaca children during the summer and a conference center in other seasons. Seventy men painted cots, cleared brush, and did other outside work.

The men elected Edward Furtick, Jr. of White Plains as Class president with 533votes, to lead his nearest rival by 263. He campaigned on a platform of "teamwork, cooperation, and progress."

He joins the Medical Clinic team of two psychiatric social workers, a psychologist, and a psychiatrist who have been working with student adjustment problems. Professor Dinklage was previously instructor in psychology and clinical psychologist in the office of student counseling at Dartmouth. He received the AB at Yale in 1951 and the PhD in clinical psychology at Harvard in 1955.
Mrs. Helen Samendinger Moore, MS '55, is a news writer in the Department of Extension Teaching & Information in the College of Agriculture. A graduate of University of Delaware, she wrote news for the College while studying here in 1953-55. Her husband, Edward R. Moore, entered the Law School this fall.
"Why, When, What of Personnel Administration," from an address by University Personnel Director Diedrich K. Willers, Jr. '36 before the Eastern division of the College & University Personnel Association this year, appeared in the November number of College & University Business.
Professor Perry W. Gilbert, PhD '40, Zoology, is back from a trip to a shark fishery in Cojimar, Cuba, the tiny fishing village which served as the setting for Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea. Earlier this year, in collaboration with F. C. Wood of Marineland, Fla., Professor Gilbert perfected a

method for anesthetizing large sharks and rays. He uses a water pistol or spray gun loaded with a narcotic, MS 222. When this material is introduced into the mouth of the shark, it is absorbed immediately by the gills and the shark passes out in less than a minute. Professor Gilbert's purpose is not simply to make shark fishing a more tranquil operation for shark and fisherman; he is studying the reproductive processes of sharks and rays, about which very little is known. The anesthetic is used because many of his experiments are performed on living fish. "We haven't lost a shark yet," Professor Gilbert says. Professor Gilbert also spent several months earlier this year at Lerner Marine Laboratory on Bimini in the Bahamas, which is operated by the American Museum of Natural History. He will return to Bimini in March.
"Commercial Policy and Economic Nationalism" was discussed by Professor Frank H. Golay, Economics, at the annual meeting of the Southern Economics Association, in Memphis, Tenn., November 8-9.
A review by Professor Joseph A. Mazzeo, English, of Donald M. Frame's translation of The Complete Works of Montaigne appeared in the November 23 issue of The Nation.
African Violets, Gloxinias, and Their Relatives, by Professor Harold E. Moore, Jr., Botany, Bailey Hortorium, has been published by The Macmillan Co., New York City. This guide to the cultivated

gesneriads offers, for the first time, a detailed study of the entire group; almost 100 kinds are described. The book has 323 pages and is priced at $10. It has color plates and line drawings (by Marion Ruff Sheehan).
Helen J. Illick, PhD '53, research associate, Conservation, was married, November 23, in Syracuse to Henry Eltinge Breed, a member of the faculty of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Professor Walfred A. Anderson, PhD '29, Rural Sociology, is Tompkins County Christmas Seal chairman for 1957.
Professor Andrew S. Schultz, Jr. '36, head of Industrial & Engineering Administration in the School of Mechanical Engineering, was to speak at a dinner meeting of the Cornell Society of Engineers at the Engineers Club in New York City, December 12. His topic was "Industrial Engineering Education at Cornell."

FURTHER CHECKING at the University
discloses eight more children and grandchildren of alumni who came to Cornell in 1957. They bring the total number to 317 with the 309 reported in the Decem-
ber 1 ALUMNI N E W S .
One of the new students is a thirdgeneration Cornellian, bringing the number of these known to thirty-eight.

Chamber Music Group—Members of the Cornell University Trio, whose two con-

certs this fall have been received with enthusiasm by music lovers, are, from left,

Professor Daniel Eller, piano, and instructors in Music John Hsu, 'cello, and Sheldon

Kurland, violin. Professor Eller came in September from Pomona College, where he

taught piano and theory. He holds the Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Music from

University of Illinois. A native of Swatow, China, Hsu has studied with Samuel

Mayes and Alfred Zighera at New England Conservatory of Music and has played

with the Handel-Haydn Society and New England Opera Company. He teaches

'cello and theory in the Music Department. Kurland is a graduate of Julliard School

of Music and received the Master's degree at Tulsa University. He teaches violin

and is concertmaster of the University Orchestra. Hsu and Kurland were members of

the University Trio last year.

He is William P. Davis '61, son of Norman W. Davis, PhD '335 and grandson of the late Carl J. Jefferson ΊO and Mrs. Jefferson (Anna Cassell) '13. Another is Dorothea F. Isecke '61, who is the daughter of Kurt Isecke '39 and the former Virginia Bruckner '34. She brings the number of new students known to have two Cornell parents to forty-five.
Five more new students (besides Davis) are found to have fathers who are Cornellians. They are Phillip L. Bradt '61, Donald H. Bradt '34; Peter E. Petrillose '60, Emilio F. Petrillose '35; Thomas H. Wickham '61, John L. Wickham '30; Edward E. Woodams '61, Elmer J. Woodams '27; and Leon E. Wright, Jr. '60, Leon E. Wright '21. The number known to have one Cornell parent is now 252, with 211 fathers. The late George W. Roesch '07 has a Freshman grandson, Robert W. Herdt '61. This makes nineteen alumni grandparents only.
Additions and corrections to our lists of alumni children who entered in 1957 are welcome for publication and the University records. Some new students always fail to list their Cornell forbears as requested.
Industry Brings Research
A NEWresearch center will be opened in Ithaca soon by Westinghouse Electric Corp., working in cooperation with the University. The center will specialize in work on microwave tubes, which are the source of the high-frequency radiation used in radar and communication. E. K. Okress of Horseheads has been named to head the new center.
Professors Conrad G. Dalman and Lester F. Eastman '52, Electrical Engineering, specialists in microwave tubes, have been advising the Westinghouse Electronic Tube Division at Elrnira and have received tube parts and other study aids for use here. Outlining advantages the new center will bring to the University, Professor Dalman said it "should greatly increase the number of top graduate students wanting to study at Cornell by providing an important research center here." Professor Eastman noted that there would be a great interchange of ideas between the Westinghouse engineers who work in Ithaca and those at Cornell. "These engineers might conduct seminars for the graduate students in the microwave field," he said.
The relationship between the University and Westinghouse will be similar to that of the General Electric Co. Advanced Electronics Center, which employs about 330 persons in Sheldon Court offices and at the plant near the Tompkins County Airport. Employees of GE have some University privileges and there is interchange of teaching and research.

Herbert Ashton (above), AB & CE, PhD at Harvard, writes as follows: "As a couple of items of possible interest to some members of 1911, I spent the month of July in England, partly as a member of the official US delegation to the Nineteenth Congress of the Permanent International Association of Navigation Congresses, popularly known as PIANC; and then partly to visit relatives and friends. Managed to get down to Brighton for a swim in the Channel and then up to Edinburgh for a look around. Also had time to visit some of the betterknown castles, such as Warwick and Arundel. Now I have just returned from a month in South America, again partly as a member of the US official delegation to the Ninth Pan-American Railway Congress in Buenos Aires, Argentina, August 30 to September 13. They really put on a show for us, too. Mrs. Ashton was with me (on both trips). We stopped over at Rio, Brazil, on the way down and had a swim on Copacabanna Beach (wonderful surf) and then flew over to Peru on the way north to see the Inca ruins at Cusco and Machu-Picchu. The scenery there is well worth the trip, entirely apart from the ruins. It is truly breathtaking! We ended with a short stop at the Panama Canal, where we had some more good swimming in the pool of the Hotel El Panama."
Visiting those castles in England must have brought back to Herb's memory a

Gay H. Brown, Law, past grand master of Masons in the State of New York, was featured speaker at the eleventh annual Masonic communion breakfast, October 20, at the Masonic Temple in Newburgh. Arch Richey reports: "Nothing new. Still working part-time for Rural Electrification Administration, Washington, D.C," Mac MacNaughton: "After two years in retirement (?), am still enjoying the freedom from a steady job. Have traveled a lot and expect to spend another winter in Florida. Hope to see some of the Ί l group on my trip."
Robert A. (Bob) Hentz says: "It seems that news collects slowly since retiring. Just riding my hobbies out here in the country and enjoying every minute. As a willing concession to age, we built an all-on-onefloor home on our property, turning our 1740, three-story house with its old trees and swimmin' hole to our son."

In the last issue, we gave some information about Deacon (Frank B.) Bailey, 657 Washington Avenue, Albany. Here's a little article which we did not have space to include, written by Deacon himself, which gives some more personal information. It is written in the vein of the "Now In My Time!" column which graced the ALUMNI NEWS for so many years.
My Class is 1913. Cornell always helps needy students. In 1911, I painted the old bridge across Fall Creek gorge, temperature 99. Davy Hoy watched us as he passed over, just smiling. In 1912, I walked out of a church service in the middle of the anthem in which I sang bass because I had left a pot of soup cooking in old Cascadilla Building and forgot to turn it off. Smoke was filling the room. I got there in time. I also reset window glass in the old girls' dorm at 8:30 a.m., much to my embarrassment because they paid no attention to me. They had a nine o'clock to make. I heard "North Pole" Peary talk in Sage Chapel where I sang for eight years, four "after" I graduated. In the old Long Island Club, I made the beds once a week, tended furnace, cleaned the rooms, and

Nei (M. R.) Neifeld and his wife, Gert, are on an extended speaking trip covering most of the Latin American countries. The trip is under the auspices of National Sales Executives-International and the basic purpose is to exchange views with foreign businessmen on selling and distribution, especially on how we do it in the United States. Nei's particular part is to tell them about the place of consumer credit in more effective distribution. On the way down, they had a nice visit in New Orleans with Babe (Lysle) Aschafϊenburg and his wife, Josie, at the Hotel Pontchatrain which Babe owns and manages. Then in San Juan, Nei tried to see Charlie (C. R.) Hartzell, but Charlie was ill at home at the time although Nei did talk to him over the phone.
Sid (Sidney K.) Eastwood, 526 Madison Street, New Orleans, La., is spending the winter in the Bahamas. Since November 15 his address has been Matthew Town, Inagua, Bahamas. Seems to me this is the place where Sid spent some time in 1956. How can he take it! No sleet, no snow, no ice, no snow drifts to shovel out. Must be tough! Sid will be back home in New Orleans next spring.
Here are a few new addresses that should be of interest: Sandy (Verne R.) Read, 1396 West Muirlands Drive, La Jolla, CaL; Walt (Walter M.) Ralph, 212 Young Street, Morganfield, Ky.; Fanny (Francis M.) Dodge, 378 Canton Avenue, Milton 87, Mass.; and Woodie (Ralph H.) Woodland, 105 East Delaware Place, Chicago 11, 111.
Merry Christmas! And give me a Christmas present. Send in something for this column. Start the new year right and give. If not, there will be a lot of wide open blank spaces in the '13 column next year. Happy New Year!
'14 Emerson Hinchliff 400 Oak Avenue Ithaca, N.Y.
Change of address: Jacob A. Badertscher, 1302 East Hunter Avenue, Bloomington, Ind. Also, Richard T. Cotton, from Kansas, to Maryland, and now to 2141 Northeast Twenty-seventh Drive, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where he has bought a home. Dick retired from the US Department of Agriculture, March 31, after thirty-eight years of service. Frank H. Hibbard is now at C-404 Walnut Avenue, Winston-Salem, N.C. From a nice note from his wife, Irma Powell '14, Frank was retired by Bell Labs March 9 and then immediately transferred to Department 816, Western Electric, Lexington Road, in Winston-Salem. They hope to like it well enough to stay when he really does retire. Another Bell Telephone Labs veteran, Edward F. Watson, has just retired after forty-three years of service; he is builda house in Rye, and expects possession in 1958.
Change of scenery: Ted Crippen of Great Barrington, Mass., writes: "Returned June 1 from a 2!/2-month motor trip around the US and Western Canada, with the question answered for this year, that 'reflexes' were still passable. Possibly the practice beatings I took from Hal and Bert Halsted on the Old Armory basketball courts gave me some stamina." Johnny Phillips of

Le Roy wrote in October from a tourist court in West Vancouver that he was leaving that night for Ketchikan, Alaska, but hoped to be back by car and plane in time to see one of the late football games. He forgot to take his Class directory so didn't look up a soul en route. Charles W. Smith wrote that if Syria, Russia, et al behave themselves, he and his wife plan to leave San Francisco January 19 and return about June 20. They plan a Mediterranean cruise, followed by a couple of months in France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, England, with a car. Sounds nice, Smittie. Not so good was word from the wife of Albert G. Ingalls in October that Dawk was seriously injured in an accident involving his motor scooter and a car, August 2, near Hemlock. He was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, then by ambulance to New Jersey Orthopedic Hospital in Orange, where he was still confined. He suffered a skull fracture and severe spinal injuries.
You will remember that Ed Stapley is the retired dean of the Institute of Technology, Oklahoma State University (formerly Okla A & M), Stillwater, Okla., which, I am told, has more engineering students than Cornell. Ed wrote from Tallahassee, Fla., October 8, that he and his wife were to be in Atlanta the end of the month for the thirty-sixth annual meeting of the National Council of State Boards of Engineering Examiners. At that meeting he was to become past-president, but would remain on the board for another year. He had expected to visit Art Field, notice of whose death appeared in the NEWS October 15, but did make a short call on his mother. He said Art had made quite a name for himself in connection with the Charleston (S.G.). Development Board, which he had served as an industrial engineer. I have a reprint of an article in Nation's Business for April, 1956, which had a thrilling account of a big project he had put through on the basis of some original thinking of his. Ed also spent a day with J. G. C. (Carl) Christie in Bergenfield, N.J., in August.
Bill Friedman has also had a change of scenery. He was "unretired" to do a special mission and he and his wife did some holidaying at the same time in London, Stockholm, Oslo, Gothenberg, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Zurich, Lucerne, and London, moving so fast that they kept ahead of the so-called Asian flu. He wrote, on their return in late October, that the reviews of their book, The Shakespearean Ciphers Examined (Cambridge University Press), had been so flattering that his hat no longer fits. I saw a nice one in the Sunday New York Times book section and heard there was another enthusiastic one in Harpers.

Alexander Mitchell Beebee (above), 564 Forest Lawn Rd., Webster, now a member of the "65" Club, retires from his position as chairman of the-board and chief executive officer of Rochester Gas & Electric Corp. and will continue as a member of the board of directors.
Alex up to now, and still going strong, has had a full life. During his forty years with Rochester Gas & Electric, he moved to the top spot. He is a director or trustee of twenty-six (repeat, twenty-six) business,

scientific, educational, and civic organizations. He is a member of American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Chemical Society, American Standards Association, National Advisory Committee of the Office of Price Administration (194345), National Advisory Committee of Solid Fuels Administration for War, Newcomen Society, founders' committee of the "Rochesterians," Society of the Genesee. Clubs: Cornell Club of Rochester, Country Club of Rochester, Genesee Valley Club, Rochester Club, University Club, Sigma Nu, and Tau Beta Pi.
Organizations and committees, etc.: chairman of gas section of Empire State Gas & Electric Association from 1932-35; chairman of operation section, carbonization committee, American Gas Association, 1924; chairman of carbonization committee, AGA, 1925 & 1926; chairman of the AGA committee on the economics of gas house heating, 1936; vice-chairman of the technical section of the AGA in 1938, and chairman in 1939; awarded Fuertes Memorial Prize, Cornell, 1915; won the 1938 Beal Medal for the best technical paper of the American Gas Association; post-war planning committee of the AGA, 1943-45; member of managing committee of the technical section of the AGA for a number of years and served on numerous other Association committees; lectured two years before seniors at M I T on gas manufacturing problems, which lectures have been published in leading gas journals; directed the work of M I T technology research field station in Rochester for three years; has been asked to inspect and report on gas operations in Johnstown, St. Louis, Terre Haute, and Toronto, and has been consulted on gas problems in all sections of the country; is a licensed engineer, State of New York. Now, ain't some of you loafers ashamed!
'16 AB—Mrs. Constance Wait Ward, PO Box 148, Newcastle, Me., attended the summer session at University of Hawaii this year. In 1956, she attended University of Alaska summer session.
'17 Men—Have had numerous address changes lately. John S. Anderegg has gone north to 10 Union Street, Camden, Me., a beautiful "down east" town along the coast. Bill Blair has gone south to Florida where we have two recent addresses for him, Winter Park, Fla., and 1000 South Mills Street, Orlando, Fla. Anyone know which is correct? Charlie (Spreck) Spreckles sent us a small snapshot of the few Ί7ers present at

290 Cornell Alumni News

our Commencement exercises in June, 1917. Nearly all had departed in April and May for World War I. Spreck's address is 17-33 Madison Avenue, Apt. 56, Madison, N J . We were pleased to learn from Spreck that John Hardecker and Lucille Druffel were married in Philadelphia, Pa., October 18. Congratulations to the bridegroom and best wishes from all the Class to the newly weds! Last we heard, John was a civilian "VIP" at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia.
Walter (Duby) Krebs sent us a clipping from the October 15 Hereford Journal which contained a long write-up on Albert K. Mitchell, University Trustee from Albert, New Mexico. Al is president of the American Hereford Association and the International Live Stock Exposition. The clipping announced that Al had just received the newly-created Animal Agricultural Award of the American Meat Institute. It is given annually to a livestock producer, scientist or educator who has devoted "a lifetime of extraordinary service to the development of the American livestock industry." Al lives on the famous Tequesquite Ranch (180,000 acres) in northwestern New Mexico. His "big" ranch is in Texas (800,000 acres). Walter Krebs is no small-time raiser of cattle himself, but to him it is an avocation started after all his business enterprises were successfully established. He is president and owner of The Johnstown Tribune Publishing Co. and is also editor and owner of The Tribune-Democrat, Johnstown, Pa. Walter has a fine herd of pure bred Herefords and is very active in all cattle organizations in the State of Pennsylvania.
Ells Filby just returned from one of his jaunts around the country and reports that Henry H. (Hank) Batjer, a fellow CE, is with West Texas Utilities Co. in San Angelo, Tex. They had a grand old-fashioned visit. Henry reported that business prevented him from attending our Big 40th, but after forty years he did visit Ithaca in September and then called on George Barton, another fellow CE, in Montour Falls, where George is president of Seneca Engineering Co. Incidentally, Henry Batjer has two children and three grandchildren. He reports he will be with us for our 45th in '62. Anyone wanting information regarding ' 17 CEs should write Ells Filby, 1500 Meadow Lake Parkway, PO Box 8405, Kansas City 14, Mo. Ells has been a member of Black & Veatch, consulting engineers, for many years and his work takes him all over the North American continent.

Charley Muller, firebreathing Reunion leader, has been riding his white horse in all directions lining up basic committee chairmen—and he is getting results. Not only has every single Ί8er he has approached agreed to serve, but they also all have been eager to get started. The general idea is to get back not only all the regulars but also the many who have never quite made it to Ithaca for a Reunion. The whole campaign for this will be organized on a professional basis, aimed at getting results.
The entire undertaking is to be organized on a regional basis. Louis Freedman is to head up the attendance committee and is
December 15, 1957

already in touch with Cy Arnold and Tex Roden in the Far West; Jo Cable, El Tuttle, and Norm Elsas in the Deep South; the whole big Chicago crowd in the Middle West; and similarly the New Yorkers. He's doing this on a person-to-person phone-call basis. You'll be hearing more of this.
Paul Miller, the Class chancellor of the exchequer, is already guaranteeing chairmen's expenditures to get the campaign going at full steam. Before Christmas, the first Reunion letters will be in the mail telling of tentative plans. The full list of topnotch committee chairmen enrolled as of the moment includes: Pat Wanser,. doubling in the job of handling accommodations and of welcoming Reunioners to Ithaca next June; Louis Freedman, attendance; Will Place, music and transportation; Dutch Hoffman, costumes; Herb Lustberg, dinners; Harry Handwerger, headquarters; El Tuttle and Tex Roden, memorial; Chuck Stalter, parade; Whit Bowen, photographs; Norm Elsas, program; Charlie Holcomb, promotion; and there will be one or more issues of the "Eighteenth Amendment" by a group of writers who probably will prefer to remain anonymous. Dinner dates and places already have been arranged for. Jack Knight will be the memorial speaker and Row Wagner will be dinner toastmaster. A special dinner speaker has been invited and has accepted. But more of all that later.
Meanwhile, the first member of the Class to state formally and officially that he'll be in Ithaca has written in from Puerto Rico. Juan Bertram, who raised two sons to be Cornell graduates (both with AB and MD degrees, too), is now busy raising his ten grandchildren, but he'll take time off to be with us. Incidentally, as the questionnaires come in, it is amazing to find how high the grandchild totals are mounting. This Class has really served its country!
More honors, business and otherwise, are also being reported. O. G. Daily '20, who writes a sprightly Class column down the line a bit from this in the NEWS, forwards me a clipping from Jack Knight's Chicago News telling that Wes Dixon, president of Container Corp. of America, has been named general chairman of the Chicago area observances of 1958 Junior Achievement Week. "O.G." also writes that he and a few other former Cornell Daily Sun members get together occasionally and reminisce. The group includes our own Row Wagner, Obie O'Brien '19, plus Bill Covington '20, Reg Hammond '20, Les Duryea '22 and others from later Classes.
The questionnaires are still rolling in with their fascinating news of what we've all done and are doing. Which reminds me: A surprising number have decided to take life easy in retirement, though most of them seem also to have a series of hobbies which must be keeping them busy for more than the stipulated eight hours daily. Obviously, if you've retired there will be more reason than ever to return for that Fortieth in June!

Mahlon H. Beakes 6 Howard Street Larchmont, N.Y.

Alan L. Eggers's picture appeared in the New York Times showing him unveiling a plaque, November 11, at the New York Stock Exchange. The plaque was erected in memory of members and employees who

died in World War I and II. You will recall that Alan won the Congressional Medal of Honor in World War I, and was the only member of our Class and, moreover, the only CornelKan in World War I to gain this great distinction. Alan looked mighty well in the picture and we hope he will join our next gathering of the clan when the spirit moves Ed Carples to sponsor one of his now famous luncheons at # 1 Fifth Avenue..
Another Classmate who is much in the news is Dr. Isador Rabi, Nobel Prize winner and physicist at Columbia University. As chairman of President Eisenhower's Science Advisory Committee, Dr. Rabi is urging the improvement of the nation's scientific educational system, particularly encouraging the study of mathematics at the high school level as a forerunner to the study of science. He proposes $500 scholarships for high school seniors passing a Federal mathematics test as an incentive to promote greater interest in scientific careers. The need has never been greater for some such incentive to attract an increasing number of young people to the study of science.
Parker Monroe, 3014 Hermosa Road, Santa Barbara, Cal. It was good to hear from Parker recently, when he sent a newspaper clipping describing a party held at the home of our Classmate George P. Tidmarsh, also a Santa "Barbarian." The gathering celebrated the completion of "End of Glory," a picture produced by students of Brooks Institute motion picture department. Parker reports that Warren Benton, who phoned him recently, is considering retirement and may decide on a spot near Santa Barbara.
Floyd W. Hough, 2412 North Columbus Street, Arlington, Va. Floyd recently demonstrated an electronic device called a Tellurometer at Cornell's Fuertes Observatory. Using electro-magnetic waves to measure long distances, it is accurate up to one part per million, and can be used very effectively in geodetic, photogrammetric, and highway surveying. It may even replace triangulation and measuring with a tape. It appears that Floyd and his company, Tellurometer, Inc. of Washington, D.C., have a very valuable instrument.

'19 BS, '20 MS—Mrs. William W. Frank (Marian Priestley) lives at 326 Roberts Avenue, Glenside, Pa. Last winter, she visited her Cornell roommate, Katherine Thorp '19 of 1019 Danby Road, Ithaca; attended Farm & Home Week and then the wedding, March 31, of Elizabeth M. Myers '55, daughter of Mrs. Kirk H. Myers (Elizabeth Cook) '19, to Sherman Wright. Mrs. Frank's daughter, Virginia P. Frank '48, went abroad in September, 1956, on a pleasure trip and stayed on to be a volunteer worker at the Hungarian Refugee Camp, Traiskirchen, Austria. In the March 2 New Yorker, in an article on Hungarian camps by John Hersey, "the secretary from the Philadelphia law firm of Montgomery, McCracken, Walker & Rhoads" whom he mentioned is Miss Frank. Mrs. Frank's son, William W. Frank, Jr., Princeton '52 and MS in metallurgy at Stephens Institute of Technology, is with the Edgewater, N.J., plant of Aluminum Co. of America.

This is the month of change! Change is

291

the law, and demand for it the passion of folk; from the leafy brown of November to the crystalline white of December; the change from fall to winter; the change into the long red ones; the time to change autos in the middle of the traffic stream to the long, low sleek 1958 models; the change from the dreary study halls to the hilarity of the holidays; the change a-plenty needed for Xmas shopping; the inevitable exchange the day after; the blessed change from material things to spiritual thinking; the welcome change from a growly irascible disposition to the gentleness of good fellowship in the true Spirit of Christmas.
The Big Change at Hooker Electrochemical Co. in Niagara Falls is the recent election of Thomas E. Moffitt (above) as president. Tom, whose origin was in Wallace, Idaho, spent some years in engineering activities in the Northwest after taking the AB in Chemistry. He first joined the Hooker sales department at Tacoma, Wash., in 1930, later becoming assistant western sales manager. He became Tacoma works manager in 1951, western manager in 1952, vicepresident in charge of western operations in 1954, and executive vice-president in 1956, at which time he waved a fond farewell to the West Coast and headed for Niagara Falls. Tom and Mrs. Moffitt now reside at Woodland Drive, Lewiston Heights, Lewiston. After so many years so far away, it must seem good to be within shootin' distance of the Campus. If Tom gets in a tight spot, he can call in his right and left bowers, Vicepresident Wos Hooker '21 and Vice-president Hi Young '21 and give three short yells for Cornell. That'll keep the shell on the right course!
A Change of Life came to Bernard O. Reuther this fall when he retired as vicepresident and treasurer of Sperry Rand Corp. and vice-president of the Remington Rand division to become a gentleman farmer in the Virgin Islands. A strange change, you say? Indeed! Ben assures us that it wasn't the calypso craze that drew him to the West Indies, nor was he in search of what you'd expect from the name, not even the Fountain of Youth; but a return to the simple life after thirty-eight years of whirlyburly business seemed like a good idea. Actually Ben is launching a new career in St.

Croix. Under direction of the US Agricultural Experimental Station, he will sponsor a much-needed agricultural experiment. But you can be sure he won't be punching a time clock. No, sir! Maήana will be the watchword. (Every word of this is turning Stew Solomon emerald green with envy, and our bet is that he'll be Ben's first visitor.) Write Ben c/o The Bucaneer, Christiansted, St. Croix, Virgin Islands, USA.
A Change on the Exchange announces the association of Ex-Prex Don Blanke with the firm of Blair & Co. at 20 Broad Street, New York City. A year-end change for a tax loss or a shift into a 1958 profit position can be handled with the greatest of ease, says Don whose aim is to please..
A Change of Price is indicated as the inflationary spiral hits the '20 Class dues and they go zooming up to $6—to cover the cost of paper and ink, I guess. Dapper Don, the Space Mon, wooshed into the Midwest last week to tell us we goofed in the last issue, and that the 5-buck deal is now old hat. But he's going to give it to you straight from the shoulder in a doozanooz letter; so brace yourselves. Bill Schmidt, who's still with Monongahela Power Co., in Fairmont, W.Va., is first over the line with his 1958 dues. He's taking no chance on missing a single word of this celebrated column.
Our Hats Off Department salutes Betty Poritsky of Schenectady who took the time to write a bit of news concerning her busy husband, Hillel Poritsky, AB '20, PhD '27, consulting engineer in mathematical problems for General Electric. Hillel taught on the Hill until 1927, was then a National Research Fellow at Harvard for two years and has been with GE since 1929. He is considered one of the pioneers in applied mathematics and has won renown in this field. Their daughter Margot '47 is now Mrs. Richard P. Jerrard; son Ray got off the track and graduated from Dartmouth in 1951, but is now right with the world again as staff artist with the Department of Zoology at Cornell; son Bertrand also took a cum laude degree from Dartmouth in 1956 and is a 2d looey in the Artillery.
Well, we're about to trade in an old year for a new one, and we hope the change will be good for you all. In the meantime, may your Christmas be a merry one and 1958 full of fun!

A sure indication of the innate wisdom possessed by John R. Bangs was the rapidity with which he gave up on me in the fields of Mechanical Drawing and hurling the discus. An instructor in the former subject, he judged my lettering abominable and kept me unsuccessfully at it while devoting his attention to more advanced pupils. As for the discus, he took one look at my incorrigible form, thereafter allowing me to throw in wobbly fashion alone until the sad truth sank home.
That the same mellow wisdom has found expression in literary form, at least since 1943, was unknown to a e until John's retirement, October 1, as director of industrial and personnel relations at The Budd Co., makers of auto bodies and wheels, railroad cars and jet engine parts, with headquarters in Philadelphia. He has been a regular contributor to Budgette, a house

organ of above-average quality. In his concluding article, he describes vividly the 1932 Olympic Games, in which his pupil, John F. Anderson '29, established the Olympic discus throw record. Retirement does not mean that John will rust. He has joined the faculty of University of Florida as professor of management in the school of business administration, and is living at 1115 Northwest Thirteenth Avenue, Gainesville, Fla.
Bruno V. Bitker of Milwaukee, Wis., married October 10 Mrs. Marjorie M. Mayer of New York City and Martha's Vineyard, Mass., widow of John C. Mayer. Mrs. Bitker, a Barnard College alumna, holds the MA degree from Columbia. She has recently been functioning as an independent editorial consultant, after editorships with prominent publishing houses, and has conducted a course at Hunter College in publishing procedures. Bruno, a lawyer and a trustee of Milwaukee Art Institute, was until recently a member of the Mayor's Commission on Human Rights in his native city. Doubtless, also, he thrilled to the exploits of the Milwaukee Braves.
Another benedict is Homer C. DeLong of Trumansburg, who married Mrs. Sara Louise Clawsen of the same Ithaca "suburb" in August. Alfred J. Peer met many Cornellians while in attendance at the American Bar Association meeting in London last summer, at which he participated in the preparation of the subject "Wills and Estates," discussed by the convention. Al recently formed the partnership of Peer & Ingham, 744 Broad Street, Newark 2, N.J.
Albert Hay wood, Jr., for most of the year a resident of Oenoke Lane, New Canaan, Conn., bought a ranch in Alamos, Mexico, a couple of years ago where he spends the winter. His plug for living south of the border will make your mouth water. " I know Mexico fairly well and would be very glad to tell any of the boys about its advantages for retirement or simply as a place for an interesting vacation. We are on the Pacific Coast of Mexico and the fishing is some of the best in the world; we never fail to come back every time with marlin or sail fish. Common labor is paid $1 a day and skilled labor $1.60 a day; cooks cost about $15 a month. Taxes on a $10,000 house (which is a fine house in Mexico) average about $6 a year. We have 533 acres and a good house on which the taxes are $7.80 a year, believe it or not."
To close on a disappointing note: The Class dinner arranged for January 9 at " 2 1 " in New York City has been postponed to an as yet undetermined date. Spencer Olin finds that he will be unable to attend. Since the dinner was to have been and will eventually still be held in his honor, we shall not proceed without him.

As I write this, I am still in Maine. I was dejected, gloomily sullen; in fact, just plain glum. Rain, driven by a dirty nor'-easter, seemed to come right through the glass in the windows; what lobsters were available were the soft shedders; but, worst of all, my Classmates had completely stopped sending in any news about themselves, and it was time to write and send in this column.
But two grand fellows saved the life of the

292 Cornell Alumni News

column. From George W. (Kid) Holbrook, 80 North Main Street, Wellsville, there came in the mail these choice items: "Howie Bonsall is now in Buffalo and has been for more than a year with the US Army Engineers. I think his work has something to do with the St. Lawrence River project. Mac Fleischmann's son Jeff '51 is teaching at Exeter and also helping coach football. Roy Goltz, who used to be on the crew squad, was at Syracuse for the regatta last June, and I am sure enjoyed as much as I did the wonderful victory of the Varsity crew. Those boys certainly can row. Al Rumsey in Albany and Ernie Leet in Jamestown are chairmen for the fall activities of Cornell Leadership Gift organization this year. Larry Pryor is a member of the University Council and attended the meeting in Ithaca this fall. He still lives in Mississippi and is as full of pep as ever. Jim Lur ther now lives in South Dartmouth, Mass., where he has a summer place for several years. He moved from Olean a year or so ago and I believe is about half retired. He has been in Europe each of the last two summers. Chilson Leonard and DeVeaux deLancey are on the faculty at Phillips Exeter, N.H. Earl Stevens has an interesting business connected with the staging of various spectacles and exhibits that take place at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Tom Hendricks is an architect in Bradford and has one or two sons working with him in his architectural firm there. He has been having a siege of arthritis for a couple of years, but is somewhat better now." Thanks a million, George, and I thank you for the entire Class.
Then, in the same mail, this masterpiece was received from N. H. (Dope) Temple of Dunwin Farm, Carrick Road, Georgetown, Ky.:
Whene're I get the ALUMNI NEWS
And sit me down to scan its views, I read with interest how time blesses All with triumphs and successes. But 'midst this horde has none a role Like mine?—some wayward wanton soul, Who, having sweat thru Cornell's courses, Now makes a living racing horses? If, in this realm, such there may be, I'd like to hear from "he" or "she." "Dope" Temple, Class of Twenty-three. Just some slight word to buck me up And, we might share a Stirrup Cup. "Dope" continues, " I want you to< know that I thoroughly enjoy reading about my former Classmates, especially as your column is my sole source of information concerning my friends of former years." And he expresses my sentiments, too, when he ends his letter with, " I trust that our Classmates will write in more frequently."
Thomas A. Bissell, Westport, Conn., was appointed executive secretary of the Society of Plastics Engineers, Inc. Tom brings to this new assignment twenty-one years' experience as a key staff member of a sister engineering society, the Society of Automotive Engineers. From 1943-57, he was manager of SAE's meetings division with staff responsibility for the development and operation of SAE's eleven national meetings and three displays. From 1936-42, he was technical editor of the SAE's Journal.
'24 Fred C. Brokaw 444 Madison Ave. New York 22, N.Y. Edgar Bissantz, Arch, whose travels have
December 15, 1957

been noted in this column on several occasions, says he expects to follow Johnny Brothers's advice and travel in Yucatan. Ed's address is Box U-l, Carmel, Cal., and he points out regretfully that he has somewhat lost touch with the Class. He makes the observation that it seems easier for Class members to go to South America, Yucatan, and other far-off places than to get to Carmel. Similarly, he admits he seems to find it easier to go to Greece, Turkey, and France than to Ithaca.
Leslie Hawthorn, BS, MS, reports a new address: Department of Horticulture, Agricultural Science Building, Utah State University, Logan, Utah. He is on the staff of the Agricultural Research Service of the US Department of Agriculture. One of his duties is to cooperate with the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station. Last summer, at the annual meeting of the American Institute of Biological Sciences at Stanford, he was elected vice-chairman of the Western section of the Society, which covers the Western States, British Columbia, and Hawaii. He has co-authored a book, Vegetable and Flower Seed Production, which is selling all over the world, with foreign sales particularly high. Les notes that because of the specialized topic actual volume of sales is not too great. However, the book has brought him recognition and appreciation by horticulturists and seedsmen from all over the world.
Lucien Tribus, BS, a regular attendant at the New York steering committee luncheons, is legal counsel to the Board of National Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. He has been with this organization twenty-two years and in the course of his duties travels extensively from Alaska to the West Indies. On a recent trip to Juneau, he discovered that the owner of the Baronoff Hotel was Edward J. O'Brien '37. Lucien looked him up and was entertained handsomely, even to the extent that he was not allowed to pay his hotel bill. Those Class members touring Alaska please note, but do not over-do.
We are also delighted to report the wedding of Carl Wedell and Mrs. William A. Carran, Jr., formerly Marge Pigott '24. This marriage brings together six Cornellians: one of Marge's two daughters and her husband, Barbara Carran Stolz '55 and Douglas Stolz '55, and Carl's daughter and son-in-law, Jane Wedell Pyle '57 and David Pyle '56.
Among others complimenting Johnny Brothers on his letter are Sunny Sundstrom, Sam Bernart, Henry Davis, Cotton Givan, Fil Fillius, Larry Block, Frank Smith, and Henry Alcus.

This column is one deadline after another, with the in-between problems of getting news. Our supply has been very limited of late. However, we received a card from a Classmate this last week. It is from Ernest R. Pope, AB, son of the late Professor Paul R. Pope, German, who writes from the American Consulate General, Munich, Germany. He says:
"I was sorry to have missed our 25th Reunion, but wasn't eligible for my next home leave from the Munich Radio Center of the Voice of America until this year when I had a fine vacation from July to October and from northern Ontario to Key West, Fla. Was happy to see Bob Gleckner [Robert H. Gleckner, AB] in New York and Art Stubblefield [Arthur H. Stubblefield, BChem] in Ithaca. While in Washington, I was officially appointed deputy news chief, Voice of America in Europe. Have just returned to my post in Munich, which I enjoy very much even if I'm already looking forward to my next home leave. My door is open to one and all of '31 who may come through Munich on business or pleasure, and I'll do my best to help them in both, or either."
We all thank Ernie for the news and wish him well. Perhaps '31 will knock on his Munich door.

One thing that has been sadly lacking in the '36 news column for years has been items about the gals from our Class. Our Twentyyear Reunion proved that a large group of them are still active and interested CornelHans and we are certain that all of our Classmates would like to hear of their accomplishments, whether they be artistic, scientific, or just merely as exciting as raising a family. Please let us hear from you.

You know, as I bat out this column trying to beat a November 25 deadline, I realize you'll be reading this about ten days before Christmas. In one way, it's much too early to summon up the Christmas spirit. But in another way, it isn't (or shouldn't be). Maybe you'll agree with my holiday thought that Christmas, like Mother's Day and other special days, shouldn't have its spirit relegated to one particular day of the year.
Christmas a red-letter day on the calendar? Nonsense! The spirit of Christmas is old, but it cannot be dated. It can be catalogued, but it can't be filed away. For Christmas is the birth of every baby and the fulfillment of every promise. It is the loan of a nickel and the gift of friendship. Christmas is the breathless curiosity of the young and the quiet reflections of the old. It is found in the enthusiasm of a family picnic and in the concentration of a bedtime prayer. It is the freckles of a boy in pajamas, the shyness of a girl with braces on her teeth, and the everlasting tatters of a favorite toy. Christmas exists in the shiny newness of a Spring day, the laze of Summer, the crackle of Autumn, and the peace of a Winter night. It is in the heart of all those in love, and in every steeple of every church and temple in the land. Christmas is a wink and a whistle, the wave of a hand and the burst of a cheer.
Celebrate Christmas just once a year? Might as well let the world go to seed. For Christmas is the living, loving spirit of Man —any time, everywhere.

Doug Logan writes from Havana, Cuba, where his address is Calle 10 #513 Reparto Miramar: "Have been here since September, 1956, in charge of construction of first Graving Dock to be built in Cuba. Feel at home since I worked here from 1946-49. Then seven years with construction firms in New York City, four with George F. Driscoll Co. and three with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. By now the family consists of my wife, Isabel, five boys and one girl. Never fail to meet Cornellians no matter where I go but for some mysterious reason none from '39. So a very special 'hello' and regards to all the gang." There is another

'39er in Cuba, Paul Bracht. He works for United Fruit Sugar Co., Preston, Oriente, Cuba, where he is superintendent engineer.
Roberto Cabassa writes that he has four sons and two daughters and that his address is PO Box 1029, Ponce, Puerto Rico. His business is sugar cane, dairy and pasteurizing plant.

'41 Men—Through this column your Class secretary wishes to express greetings of Christmas Season 1957 to all members of the Class of '41. As the NEWS reaches far away corners of the world, we especially think of the Christmas Spirit with "Peace on earth to men of good will." Many of those men are Cornellians living in foreign lands apart from the comforts and conveniences, to say nothing of the good fellowship, of life here at home in the USA. Those Cornell friends are especially in our hearts.
Here at home we should like to mention some of our Classmates who have given special effort to Cornell over the last year. Cornell Club presidents: Central New Jersey, Dr. Edward A. Brady, 160 Dayton Avenue, New Brunswick, N.J.; Union County, N.J., Robert J. Harley, 1067 Rah way Avenue, Westfield, N.J.; Buffalo, John T. Elfvin, 232 Anderson Place, Buffalo; Niagara Falls, Paul A. Schoellkopf, Jr., 70 Niagara Street, Buffalo 2; and Dayton, Ohio, Lawrence E. Morier, Jr., 2455 Oakland Avenue, Dayton 9.
Cornell Club secretaries: Kansas City, Robert W. Haase, 1214 West Forty-seventh Street, Kansas City, Mo.; Indiana, H. Jerome Noel, 7922 Hillcrest Road, Indianapolis 4, Ind.; Iowa, Carroll D. Willcox, 120

Kesten and Mrs. Kesten (Dorothy Kay) '44 publish and edit the Army Aviation Magazine and Keston is also executive secretary of the Army Aviation Association of America, Inc., an organization of National Guard, Reserve, active Army pilots, and friends of Army Aviation. Keston announces his resignation as Class secretary, in which capacity he has served since 1943, and regrets that business obligations make it impossible for him to give the needed time to the office.
'45 PhD—Richard H. J. Pian, associate professor of civil engineering at Michigan State University, in Lansing, is the author of a paper, "Column Design Simplified," which was published in the May issue of Journal of Structural Division, Proceedings of American Society of Civil Engineers.

'46 Men—News continues to come from all over the country and world as a result of our appeal for Class dues. For instance, Harold C. Yost, 3104 Mount Curve Avenue, Altadena, Cal., wrote that he and his Cornellian wife, Nancy Lehrbach '48, have two sons and his job is as project engineer in the guided missile research division of RamoWooldridge Corp. in Los Angeles. From Illinois comes word from Keith "Bill" Benson, Jr., 309 West Sixteenth Street, Sterling, that he has been married for eleven years and has two sons. Ray Y. Gildea, Jr., 1057 Southwest Eleventh Terrace, Gainesville, Fla., writes that he has been teaching geography and economics at University of Florida. From out of the country, John D. Kronen, APDO 668, Caracas, Venezuela, writes that he is chief engineer for the Venezuelan operations of Carrier Corp. and his wife and son live down there also.
My last column did not do full justice to our ambitious Classmate Paul T. Atteridge (above), 130 Clarewill Avenue, Upper

Montciair, N.J. To make amends, a picture of Paul is offered and the announcement that he has been appointed section head of chemical engineering research at The M. W. Kellogg Co., in Jersey City, N.J. Harrison B. Tordoff, college of literature, science & arts, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich., has recently been appointed assistant professor of zoology and curator of birds in that university's museum of zoology.
One of our Classmates who has done much to advance the desirable features of Cornell University is Sol Goldberg, 105 South Meadow Street, Ithaca, formerly with the Photo Science Department of our alma mater. Sol became staff photographer for the Ithaca Journal earlier this year and recently had one of his pictures judged best in the New York State region of the National Press Photographers Association. It was a sports picture of Dick Meade '56, a star in football, baseball, and basketball at Cornell.
Robert E. and Mary Wood Dalrymple ('45), Lower Maple Avenue, Elmira, announced the arrival of their third child, Catherine, May 9. Claude A. R. Kagan, 220 Church Street, New York City, has been promoted to department chief in the engineering division of Western Electric Co., where he coordinates activities in the field of computers and integrated data processing.

Furstman, 16 Leamoor Drive, Morris Plains, N.J., is vicepresident of Furstman & Feinberg, Inc., a men's wear and furniture store in Dover, N.J., and has been president of the Dover Area Chamber of Commerce for the last two years.
That's all for this time from 106 Flora Drive, Champaign, 111.—Dave Day
'47 Men—A little bit of news from Waldo Scott. His new residence is 38 Perkins Hall, Harvard University, Cambridge 38, Mass. Waldo dropped a line to the ALUMNI NEWS and mentioned that he is now a student at Harvard, working on a doctoral degree in education. Waldo has been skipping around the countryside during the last few years in his personal program for a teaching career. May I say that it is nice to learn that he will be a "Dr." soon. Frank Carney should make a record of this man's change in address, because Waldo has always been very interested in Cornell affairs and particularly the Fund.
A recent issue of the Bulletin, Cornell
Cornell Alumni News

Society of Hotelmen, crossed my desk at a time when I could give it some attention. Therein was listed L. Charles Lσckwood as Class director for '47. Also, there was a blurb which indicated a meeting of the board of directors, November 12, in New York City. Since I talk and correspond with Dick Brawn '49 frequently, I told him to look for Charlie during the festivities which surround meetings of hotelmen. A report back to me said that Charlie looked quite healthy and ready to work hard for '47 from the Southern viewpoint; geographical location prevents our Class stemwinder from taking over all social aspects of the Class. That's one way of keeping up with Classmates by remote control, so to speak. Maybe Charlie, or Arline, could drop me a line with more definite news. Without referring to my background of notes, I am pretty sure that Charlie works as manager of Greensboro (N.C.) Country Club.
My associate, Frank Clifford '50, was downing his fourth cup of coffee in a restaurant, New York City, the other day. Who turns up but our old pal and treasurer, Don Ayers! Frank says that their Cornell conversation centered mainly around the theme of "how do we bring the boys together?" Well, that is a general theme discussed by many Classmates for ten years plus. And as a matter of fact, the subject leads me directly into my next paragraph. Here goes.
During the last couple of weeks, I have been honored with luncheon and/or dinner engagements involving Joe Jewett and Alex Horvath, two members of our nominating committee for a new Class council. Both men are anxious to get the job underway. The other members are Larry Aquadro, Don Ayers, and Max Bluntschli, with Secretary Bill Evers acting as chairman. A telephone call to Bill produced the news that he was calling the group together for a meeting in New York City December 14. I do hope that a slate is picked soon. More information later.
This business of a Class council should be important to all Class members. In 1952, a Class council was formed, but the spark was never given enough oxygen. A good Class council, working actively in many Cornell affairs, can pack a lot of punch, and, as a matter of fact, can sweep along with it some lasting friendships, more of which would do us all some good. Who is going to carry the ball?
Merry Christmas, everyone! I will be thinking of you all during the Christmas Season as always. Wishing for you and your families continued happiness and pleasant dreams.—Barlow Ware
'47 Women—I have received a press release from Cornell University informing us that our Classmate, Jane Coolican, was one of two New York State home demonstration agents to be recognized for their outstanding service by the National Home Demonstration Agents Association.

all company products, including centrifugal and reciprocating compressors, diesel, gas and gas-diesel engines to domestic markets. He has been with the company since 1948 and became assistant general sales manager in 1955. Woodard's address is 1115 East Vine Street, Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
'49 Men—Several of our Classmates have decided to pitch their lot with the aircraft industry, Sputnik and Mutnik to the contrary not withstanding! Lieutenant Steve Profilet is a Civil Engineering Corps officer in the US Navy, presently building an air base for the US in Zaragoza, Spain. He and his wife, Doris, and children, Terry, Stevie, and Cindy have been in Spain since February, and receive mail through their overseas address: ROICC Area II Budocks Contracts, APO 286, New York City. From 1824 Pacific Coast Highway, Hermosa Beach, Cal., Warren H. Heimer writes: "After two years as first lieutenant in the Air Force (1953-1955) at Wright Air Development Center, Dayton, Ohio, and a two-month trip to Europe, I returned to General Electric in Schenectady for one year. Started in my present job as project coordinator in weapon systems advance design at North American Aviation in Los Angeles in February of this year." And, working as assistant budget manager of the electronics division of Curtiss-Wright Corp. is William H. Sprunk. His address is 199 Voorhis Avenue, River Edge,
N.J.
Arno Nash writes that he married Hedy Joyce Wigler of Roslyn Heights, L.I., in June and left for a honeymoon in Europe. Following the trip, they will return to 639 West End Avenue, New York City 25, and Arno will go back to work as district manager for International Rectifier Corp., 132 East Seventieth Street, New York City 25. Also a recent groom is James J. Jackson III who married Ann Elizabeth Gellhaus of Cleveland in April. Their address is 12800 Fairhill Road, Shaker Heights 20, Ohio, and Jim is still in the construction division of the marketing department of Standard Oil of Ohio,
Now on the legal staff of Metro-GoldwynMayer doing television work and motion picture production problems is Martin M. Heller. Marty left RKO Pictures legal staff a year ago, and worked briefly in the busi-

ness affairs department of American Broadcasting Corp. before taking his present job. With his wife, two boys and two1 girls, Marty lives at 685 Plain Road, Westbury, L.I., a new address in July. Another attorney on the move is Philip Hesby of 342 Harding Way West, Galion, Ohio. He has withdrawn as a partner of the firm of Petri & Hesby and has formed his own law firm at the above address, specializing in corporation and estate work. In addition to membership in various legal organizations, Philip has recently been elected secretary of the Galion Hospital Foundation. Bill Finger writes from 4434 North Wilson Drive, Milwaukee, Wis., that he is the father of a year-old daughter, Martha Ellen. He has completed his internship at Milwaukee Hospital and has started a radiology residency.
Wellesley College has released news that Donald Mintz is a new member of the faculty, with rank of instructor in music. After graduation, Donald received the Master of Fine Arts at Princeton and has done work toward the PhD in Ithaca. In 1955-56 he studied in Berlin at Freie Universitat while holding a Fulbright grant. Last year he was a reference assistant at the Library of Congress, and also has done some teaching both at Princeton and Cornell. His home is at 6 Norfolk Terrace, Wellesley, Mass.
Also in the teaching field is J. Richard Suchman, assistant professor in the college of education at University of Illinois. His big news is hardly academic, however, for he and his wife, Fay Binenkorb '50, have added a daughter, Nancy Ellen, to join brother Tony, age 3. Nancy joins a real Cornell family, for, in addition to mother and father, grandfather is L. L. Binenkorb '25 and uncle and aunt are Lawrence '50 and Peggy Binenkorb '53 Scherr. The Suchmans live at 1205 East Michigan Avenue, Urbana, 111. Rodney G. Miller writes that he and his wife, Mary E. Heisler '49, have moved to 10 Vista Court, Glens Falls, from Berwyn, Pa. This move is caused by Rod's transfer to the Fort Edward plant of Scott Paper Co. as assistant personnel manager.
A new promotion is that of David P. Bone, who has been named as project leader, cereal research, Quaker Oats Co., in a new laboratory in Barrington, 111. He and his wife, Jan Witmeyer '51, have two sons, Jonathan Andrew, 2, and Christopher David, 1, at their home, 550 North Walnut, Arlington Heights, 111. And C. William Kain is now sales engineer with the Worthington Corp., and his mailing address is 5329 Halsey Court, Louisville, Ky.—Jack Rupert

Victor J. Goetz, 5300 North Rose Street, Milwaukee 18, Wise, has joined the ranks of amateur theater players. He and his wife have been very active and Vic says that his wife, who had more seniority in the group, actually got him started and on stage for the first time in his life. Vic is quality control engineer for Continental Can and recently ate in a restaurant run by Karl Ratzsch and George Powell.—John Maloney

'50 Women—"I've done it again!" writes Polly Rogers. "This time I moved from 993 Memorial Drive to 275 Marlborough Street, Boston 16, Mass. . . . One more step up the ladder. Last month I became administrative secretary to the Bingham Associates Fund, a program of regional medicine for Maine and Massachusetts. Spent some time in Maine this summer visiting hospitals and meeting the people with whom I correspond. A really fascinating and rewarding trip."
Mrs. John Karl (Virginia Hicks) reports that she "enjoyed four days at Cornell last May attending the Cornell-PTA Institute as president-elect of our local PTA. It was a thrill to be back and to be able to leave my three children and John in the capable charge of my mother-in-law!" The Karls live at 36 Deepdale Parkway in Albertson.

Barbara's mother, Carol Curtis Bell '21, was on hand for the festivities and to visit with her grandson, Kari, 3. Heikki has been head of sales for the building boards division at EnsoGutzeit since last January. By now they are on their way to New York and Heikki's new job as US representative for Finnlines Ltd.

'54 Men: William F. Waters 327 N. Harvard St. Allston 34, Mass.
Back at the stand again after a month's lapse and with a big backlog to work on. The big reason for the two issue void in this department is that your correspondent has moved twice since leaving the service and it took some time for the files to catch up. I am now with the Boston office of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Beane and living a stone's throw from Harvard Stadium.
I ran into Mike Hostage a while back in Waterville, Me., where he is a sales supervisor with Procter & Gamble in charge of the entire potato state.

I hope that everyone missed reading our Class column in the last issue of the NEWS. It's all part of the story that there can't be a column if everyone doesn't help. I'm tempted to philosophize, as does Mister Schaap in the '55 column when he's deserted. Unfortunately, my funny stories aren't quite as good reading as his, or I hope that everyone will write letters and I won't be tempted again.
Joan Dole Brandt is one of you to whom the scolding doesn't apply.

Bob '56 is back at Eaton Manufacturing Co., and Joan's busy settling the family, which has a new addition, Mark Robert, who was born June 30, the Brandts' wedding anniversary. Mark is a potential fourth generation Cornellian. His great-grandfather is Jay P. Kinney '02,

and his grandparents are Walter B. '26 and Olive Kinney '27 Brandt. Joan and Bob live at 1615 North Bend Street, Saginaw, Mich.
Betty Brown Murray is working as nutritionist for the San Lorenzo Elementary School District and lives at 15223 Farnsworth Street, San Lorenzo, Cal.
Linda Joan Spencer was born March 4. She's the daughter of Shirley (House) and John F. Spencer '54. The Spencers live at 361-B, Ashburton Road, Columbus 13, Ohio, where John is stationed at Lockbourne Air Force Base as a navigator in the 321st Air Refueling Squadron. The Spencers expect to leave Ohio in February and return to civilian life in New York State.
Rhoda (Krause) and Sheldon Butlien '52 are now living in their own home at 2-23 Kenneth Avenue, Fair Lawn, N.J. Shelly is manager of East Orange Mill End Shop. Their son, Michael, was a year old November 27.
A note about yours truly: I left CBSTelevision last August and am now working as a reporter-writer with the "Nightbeat" program at Dumont Television.
And, one last plea for news so that the January column will be a long one.
Women: Mrs. Harry C. Olsen ROICC Area III APO 284, New York, N.Y.
Lots of baby news on hand. Starting in July, the 26th, Mr. and Mrs. George Karlin '54 (Cynthia Lane) had a girl, Janis Ann. The Karlins are living at 9720 Beverlywood Street, Los Angeles 34, Cal., where George is managing the Alexandria Hotel. Reference to,the California climate: heavenly. A long note from Mrs. Arch Robb (Joan Mischka) announces their young one's arrival August 18. The young lady, Stephanie, is named after Mrs. Harold Douglass (Stephanie Wilson), and claims as her prize possession a letter from Charles H. Githler III entitled "How to drive parents to the loony bin." The Githler Us who are suspected of contributing to this literary masterpiece are '55ers Charles Githler and Ann Busch. Joan writes, too, that Bert Pierson Fernow had a daughter, Lisa, September 8.
Time out from babies for a minute to make a few wedding announcements. Billie Campbell was married to William Lerner '55 in Alexandria Bay August 15. The Lerners live at Apt. 4D, 427 East Sixty-ninth Street, New York City 21. Billie is in her third year at Cornell Med and Bill, in his first at New York University law school. Two weddings September 1: Elinor Howard was married to Robert Illwitzer in Washington, D.C., where they are now living at Apt. 302, 6301 Sixteenth Street, NW; and Rosa Fox was married to Robert Gellert, an M I T grad. The Gellerts honeymooned for a cool ten weeks in Europe and are now at 305 East Seventy-Second Street, NewYorkCity21.
Back to babies, September having been a rather productive month. The Stanley Byrons '54 (Carol Rittershausen) of 223 Williard Way, Ithaca, had a daughter September 3. Howard Laurence is the "new little model" (clever birth announcement) who arrived September 4 to Dr. & Mrs. Morris Hyde (Evie Weinstein) of 35 Ogden

Road, Chestnut Hill 67, Mass. The Jerome McElroys (Sally Clark) had a son, Terrence Patrick, September 9. The McElroys live at 1197 Williston Road, South Burlington, Vt., where Jerry is studying at St. Michael's. Mrs. Charles E. Colbert '53 EE (Carol Sugar) gives vivid descriptions of moving into their new house at 3041 Livingston Road, Cleveland 20, Ohio, painting, furniture buying, and moving, and having a baby all within about forty-eight hours. The baby, Paul Andrew, was born September 12 and Carol writes that visitors and/or admirers of home and heir are most welcome. The house purchasing event came as a secondary effect to helping the Ed Rays '53 (Eva Konig) find a home in Cleveland. The Rays have three children, Judy, age 2, and Diane and David, 8-month-old twins. A day later, September 13, Martin Douglas Stafford II arrived to the Douglas Stafϊords '55 (Virginia Dyer) of 753 Euclid Avenue, Long Beach 4, Cal. Doug, who is operations officer and navigator on the USS Cacapon recently arrived home from a six-month tour in Japan, Formosa, the Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand.
Congratulations to all of you and may babies and '55ers both have a happy holiday season!

Herb Simpson, who entered with our Class but got his degree at University of Maryland last February, reports that he's presently qualifying as a radio operator and at the same time instructing in the Army's field wire school at Fort Jackson, S.C.—"all of which," he says, "is of even less interest to me than it could possibly be to the ALUMNI NEWS." Those even more interested in Herb than in the NEWS can reach him as follows: Pvt./2 H. M. Simpson, FR 13599648, Co. B, 17th Spec. Bn., 4th Tr. Regt., ISROC Class #37, Fort Jackson, S.C. Owner and general manager of the Seven-Up Bottling Co. of Lebanon, Jose Abizaid says his new address is Box 4164, Beirut, Lebanon.
Dan Silverberg, who is in New York every now and again, is a market researcher for Benton & Bowles, a New York City ad agency, spending most of his time in the mid-West worrying about products which shall be here nameless, since I still owe him a drink on a Yankee-Red Sox game in September which came out the wrong way. Dan can be reached at 2314 Avenue I, Brooklyn.
Lynn Wilson, who writes that he has completed meteorology training at Oklahoma A&M and is now an Air Force weather forecaster at McCord AFB, gives his new address as Box 2158, Parkland, Tacoma 44, Wash. Lynn says that en route to his new assignment he and his wife (who was Ellen Wells '56) carted their house trailer to Ithaca to visit her parents and then to San Luis Obispo, Cal., to visit his, and he adds that one Diane Elizabeth Wilson was added to the household June 7.
Frank Knight, whose address is Surf City, N.C., reports the addition of Eric Peter Knight to his household October 1. Frank gives his occupation, business, etc. as platoon commander in the USMC and says he expects to go on a six-month Mediterranean

cruise sometime in January. He adds that Bob Gerhardt relieved him in September as officer in charge of the Officers' Club galley at Camp Lejeune, N.C. A couple more new addresses: Lt. John B. St. Clair, USAR, 04066971, Det. " C " (SOD), Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md.; Lt. Thomas R. Merryweather, USMCR, 073879, F-4, 3-57 B. C , Camp Goettge, Quantico, Va. (until February).
Have come across Ernie Stern several times in New York of late; he's working for Harvey Radio Co. over near Times Square, and pending location of an apartment in Manhattan is living at home at 1027 Summit Avenue in the Bronx. Phone: LUdlow 8-6378.
While we're on the subject, I might as well report that Al Reading (USS Strong, DD-758, c/o FPO, New York City) says he got back to Norfolk last month after five months on his can (that means destroyer, of course) in the Mediterranean. He's now spending two weeks at communications school in Newport, R.I., and is due back in Norfolk early in January for a sixweek cruise in the Caribbean. George Wilkens writes that he's now a research engineer with Continental Can (there it goes again) in Chicago, having received his Army discharge October 22. He says he married August 17 in Emporia, Va., the former Mary Lou Harris, who was a nurse in Richmond. Address: 9016 South Carpenter, Chicago, 111.
Dick Jacobstein tells me that Ed Wolf is now out of the Army and working for Sylvania Electric Co. in Buffalo. Ed was married August 18 Judy Goldman, in Buffalo. The most recent address Jake has for them is 129 Meadow Road, Buffalo.
Your correspondent was unable to make it to Philadelphia for the annual Turkey Day gridiron classic, as Dick Schaap '55 likes to call it, but our man St*nl*y reports in the next issue.
'56 PhD—Wendell S. Williams and Mrs. Williams, 13304 West Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, became the parents of a baby girl, Jennifer Ann, October 18. Williams, a research physicist at National Carbon Laboratory, is vice-president of Telluride Association. Mrs. Williams was formerly an editor in the Department of Extension Teaching & Information.
'40 MA, '56 PhD—Cleveland-Marshall Law Review for September carried an article, "Ball, Bat and Bar," by Harold Seymour, in which he summarized the pertinent business facts pertaining to the professional baseball business and the relationship between the business and the courts. Oxford University Press will publish in April, 1959, his book, Baseball: The Early Years, based on a revision of his doctoral dissertation and an extension of it, carrying the story down to 1903. The book will be the first scholarly study of the game as an economic and social institution. The Oxford Press said in its letter of acceptance: "You have produced a most readable manuscript" and "Your book strikes us as an important contribution to the study of 19th century American society."

A letter from Lana Brennan Branton

Cornell Alumni News

sounds like she and husband Daniel '54 are now settled in Berkeley, Cal., at 1789 Oxford Street. Lana is teaching third grade in the same school district where Carol Goldfarb is teaching first. Dan is working on the PhD in plant physiology at University of California, in Berkeley, where he has a research assistantship. The Brantons took quite an extensive trip through Europe, visiting Belgium, France, Switzerland, England, and Germany. While in Rome they stayed in the home of Lorna Jackson Salzman whose husband, Eric, recently received an extension on his Fulbright grant to study music in Italy. They're at Via Segesta 51, Rome.
Gwen Grohmann and husband Archer des Cognets '57 are now settled down at 3612 Valley Drive, Alexandria, Va. Nearby in Maryland, just across the District of Columbia line, are Shirley (Diz) Dean and Herschel Loomis '57. Hersch expects to be stationed there for about two years and Diz really seems to be enjoying the life of a housewife. She writes in glowing terms of their three-room apartment complete with garbage disposal in the kitchen. Diz has seen Leah Kimball Scott whose husband Larry '57 is also in the Navy. Other Cornellians Diz sends word about include Roy Mitchell '57 studying law at Georgetown. She extends an open invitation to all in the area to drop by at 4511 Sangamore Road, Washington 16, D.C.
Another new address is that of Marilynn (Vickie) Woollatt who is living at 42 East Superior Street, Chicago 11, 111. There's no change in jobs, however; Vickie is still a designer in the interior display department of Marshall Field & Co.
Rosemary Grasso, who became Mrs. Harold Terry during the summer, writes that she is teaching home economics and even has her own homeroom class in Guilford. She said she was presently "vacationing," but it doesn't sound like much of a one to me. It was sort of impassed since Rosemary fell and fractured an ankle. They are living in a thirty-three-foot trailer and can be reached via Box 97, Guilford.
How about a couple of fast changes of address? First from Katherine Weight Huberth and Pete Huberth. They're still in Manhattan, Kans., but now located at 1430 Houston Street. Pete is in the Army and Tissy is working in a store there. Pete Jensen (Mrs. William T. Eldridge) becomes my former Canadian correspondent with this announcement. She and the family are moving back to the USA and will be at 732 Mulford Street, Evanston, 111. Before signing off, Pete does report that Lolly (Treman) and John Almquist '54 had a new son, Peter Bruce, June 1. Last address I had for the Almquίsts, and it may still be correct, was 3909 Tyndale Place, Jacksonville 10, Fla.
Gale Briggs and husband David Hurd '56 are near Harlingen Air Force Base, Harlingen, Tex., where Dave is studying to be a navigator. Their mailing address is 12 Gap View Road, Short Hills, N J .
Guess the last column about Jan Uollmer in Stockholm must have given some of you ideas. Recently heard from Elinor Schivik who is with the American Embassy in Oslo, Norway. Her mailing address is care of the Embassy.
Arlene Blazer is assistant to the director of fashion & market service of Heller Jer-
December 15, 1957

sey, a fabric company. She was formerly with Mademoiselle magazine in the fashion merchandising department. Arlene's address is 600 West 111th Street, New York City 25.
A neighbor of mine is Phyllis Williams who is teaching high school here in Rochester. Her address is 188 Morton Street.
Doing public relations for McGraw-Hill Book Co. is Shelia Milberg. Hers is the job of getting books reviewed in newspapers and authors' interviews on radio and television. She lives at 34 Paddington Road, Scarsdale.
Another New Yorker is Adrienne Nordlie, an assistant buyer for Retailing Buying Co. She's at 155 West Eighty-first Street, Apt. St.B., New York City 24.
Claudia Gabel is still teaching at Grove School in Madison, Conn. She lives on Copse Road, Madison, Conn. A note from Joan Hoyland who is teaching kindergarten in Garden City and living at 148 Tullamore Road there. She and Nancy Galusha took a thirty-five-day trip across the country this summer. Nancy is now in Washington, D.C, sharing an apartment with Dee Malstrom.
A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! If you happen to get together with any other '56ers during the holiday season, how about sharing the news (and pictures if possible) with all.
'57 Men: David S. Nye 440 Day Hall Ithaca, New York
A few more of the "missing 900" have reported in. First among them was Charlie Gratto, who is presently working on the Master's degree in Agriculture Economics here at Cornell. He married Alyce Thai of Clayton, Mo., August 24. The Grattos' address is 109 Summit Avenue, Ithaca. George Teets is now at Harvard law school. His new address is 408 Story Hall, Cambridge 38, Mass. Sorrell Mathes reports on some of our crew of Cornellians at Columbia; Sorrell, Al Freiman, Jon Harris, and Len Rosen are all in the business school there. Quote Sorrell, "We're all such big grinds now that we only get together once in a while for a nostalgic beer." I suppose that kind of beer is as good as any; thanks for keeping tab for us, Sorrell. Steve Paries is attending NYU-Bellevue Medical Center, class of '61. On his last piece of Cornell stationery, he wrote us his new address: 350 East Thirtieth Street, New York City.
Darryl Turgeon dropped us a line, most of which the editors won't let us put in writing. At any rate, he lives at 332 Walnut Street, New Orleans 18, La. He describes New Orleans as "cosmopolitan as any European city, and as provincial as Varna." He has talked his way into the position of assistant director of continuity at WWLTV, and says that the job is "wonderful, challenging, fun, and full of unlimited opportunity." Friend Dave Windham is reported to be leading a somewhat sane life at Pensacola Navy Base.
Alan Marks has been awarded a Falk Fellowship in politics and policy formation at Yale. As a graduate student there, his new address is 2800 Yale Station, New Haven, Conn. William Schanze has completed eight weeks of training with the First Infantry Division at Fort Riley, Kan., and has been appointed to the First Division band there.

John Perkins is a member of the class of '58 at American Institute for Foreign Trade, Phoenix, Ariz. He is specializing in the Far East, and is taking the school's intensive training course in preparation for a career in American business or government service abroad. His wife, the former Judith Ann Brinklow '58, is with him at the school. John's course of study concentrates on techniques of international business administration, foreign languages, and characteristics of foreign countries.
Tom Keating, Sue Howe, Bob Hutchins, and Mary Hobbie were among the members of our Class who managed to get up to Hanover, November 16. Tom was spotting for the "Big Red" from the press box; Bob, Sue, and Mary were all in the stands losing their voices cheering for a team which, that day at least, deserved to win.
Sorry we are running short this time, but we will pass on more news when we get it. You missed a good game at Dartmouth, and I hope, by the time this arrives on your doorstep, will have seen a good one at Philadelphia.
'57 Women: Diane Heasley 425 Royal Hawaiian Avenue Honolulu, Hawaii
A return to Class news after a pause of one issue. A slight bit of reorganization was needed and things got complex what with the card file arriving and our moving.
With the beginning of another year we should get caught up with that last one. Had a note from Mrs. Joyce Mishel Jackman. She was married to husband Dr. Alan E. Jackman June 9 and they are living at 523 Seventy-eighth Street in New York. Joyce said that she was working for CBS. Thelda Frank also wrote a note announcing her engagement to Joseph Liebriech '59. She is teaching French and English at Trumansburg Central and lives at 18 Congress Street, Trumansburg. Fran Hassol also wrote to say that she became engaged to Harvey Lifton and they will be married next year. She teaches English at Lafayette High School in Brooklyn and lives at 7110 Twenty-first Avenue.
Jean Venel and Baron Bernard '55 were married August 23. Jackie Milligan and James D. McDonald, Law '58, were married the following day. The McDonalds are living in Ithaca while Jim finishes Law School; Jackie is teaching in Dryden. Gail Cornell and Captain Thomas H. Hastings were married at Fort Benning, Ga. November 9.
After a late summer trip to Europe, Phyl Ferguson was married to Bill Adam '57 in Oklahoma City November 9. Also from the Oklahoma area comes news of the engagement of Susan Hofϊmeister and Dick Shriver '56.
Connie Kelly wrote a long letter with the official word that she and Charlie Fletcher '56 are engaged. They planned to be married sometime during the winter. Mary Neill is engaged to George Hanna, '56. Mary is teaching home economics at Vestal Central. Her address is RD 1, Morgan Road, Binghamton.
Would love to know the whereabouts of a few people who are wandering somewhere throughout the world. Our talented Classmate Ellen Stekert's travels are unknown at this time. In my file I found the address

of Mrs. Louis D. Williams (Elaine Astolfi) and I would like to know what she is doing in London? Her address reads St. Albans Avenue, Chiswick, London 4, England. Bibbis Bloom Js somewhere in Washington working for NSC, but where? Sharon Flynn skipped out of the country without returning some beach equipment and I would love to know where they both are! Joanna Russ is in New York writing a novel. What is it about and when does it go to the publishers? Would like to know the whereabouts of Class President Jane Mitchell. Her right hand. Executive Secretary Sue DeRosay is living at 94 Hoover Road, Rochester 17.
Polly Atwood teaches somewhere on Long Island. Have a message for her from one F. C. Johnson. First, Polly, write a post card with some news about yourself. Remember that snowball fight in Swampscott when you got knocked out?
The note received from Judy Liersch from London Terrace Apartments in New York takes the cake. She is sharing quarters with Lydia Ebel and Judy Bird. Judy is working an eight-hour day as an IBM sales trainee systems analyst, while Judy is in the college book department at McGrawHill Publishing Co. Lydia is an executive trainee at B. Altman's. They are holding open house all Christmas vacation at 415 West Twenty-third Street, New York 11.
It will seem strange to spend a Christmas amid the sand and surf, without snow. That will be the one day of the year that I will envy you. In closing may I say, start off the year right by sending in some news. Sounds trite, but it is needed to get this column rolling. From the Pacific come greetings: Mele Kalikimaka and a Hauoli Makahiki Hou.

or who says gasoline is expensive?
ccr-r-?
Ihey say it in Britain, where a skilled carpenter gives more than a day's pay for just eight gallons.
"They say itin Ireland, where only one person in twenty owns an automobile.
"They say it in France, where the price is the same for eight gallons of gasoline or a pair of shoes.
" I n the United States? Everything indicates that gasoline should bealmost as expensive here, too.

" F o r instance, Union Oil's costs of building a refinery andthelabor costs to operate it have tripled since 1937.
"We pay four times as much toput up a service station today as before thewar.
"And fuel taxes you pay at retail have increased 5 cents a gallon in the last 20 years. (Inthat same time, our refinery price hasgone up 4ιΛ cents a gallon.)
" I n spite of these increases, though, Americans pay less for their gasoline than anyone else in the world.

WE PAY LESS FOR GASOLINE THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD."

"What's more, two gallons of today's gasoline do the work of three gallons of the old product." * * *

As manager of Union Oil's refinery in the San Francisco area, Stan Thomson has a natural interest in the price of gasoline.
And, he points out, the comparatively low price of gasoline in this country is one measure ofthe efficiency ofthe economy under which we live.
Our competitive economy gives us such good value for our money thatwe enjoy the highest standard ofliving the world has ever known—and still have money left for savings.
