What is to you than Food and Water?
MEN HAVE LIVED forty days without
food—perhaps even longer. They have
gone several days without water — and
lived. But without sufficient oxygen, life
is snuffed out in a matter of minutes.
Normally, a person obtains plenty of
oxygen by breathing air. But following
bomb blasts, shock from battle wounds,
heart attacks, during severe cases of pneumonia,
and after major operations, additional
quantities of oxygen may be prescribed.
The treatment is known as oxygen
therapy.
The breathing of extra oxygen also is
required by all flyers in the rarefied atmosphere
of high altitudes. The study
of this use is contributing important data
to that which the medical profession's
continuing research has made available
on the clinical use of oxygen.
The LINDE Am PRODUCTS COMPANY,
a Unit of UCC, is devoted to the production
of oxygen. Every cylinder of
Linde Oxygen, even Linde Oxygen for
industry, conforms to the purity standards
of the United States Pharmacopoeia
—and is therefore suitable for human
consumption.
Oxygen therapy, once used as a last resort,
is now routine early treatment. It should be
welcomed by patient and family as an oxygen
mask is welcomed by a flyer.
Civilian and military physicians and
nurses and others are invited to send for
booklet P-7, "Oxygen Therapy Handbook"
which describes generally the types of
equipment with which oxygen is administered.

Face Mask
SOME WAYS IN WHICH OXYGEN
IS ADMINISTERED
IN AN EMERGENCY Linde Oxygen U.S.P. can
be obtained from garages, welding shops
and industrial plants.
T
IMPORTANT: All U.S.P. oxygen must undergo
extra drying procedures before it can
be used for high altitude flying.

"The possibilities for production in the world ahead
are fantastic: the greatest pent-up demand in modern
history, the greatest productive capacity ever known,
the most enlightened scientific force, the greatest
amount of genius and invention.
"Best of all, a generation of youth, blessed as never
before, with ingenuity and courage; millions of young
men learning in the hard school of war how to meet
emergencies with the tools at hand, how to improvise,
how to overcome terrifying obstacles, how to press
forward, not only against a ruthless enemy, but against
the elements and the terrain; how to endure hardship;
how to sacrifice; and, most important of all,
how to win.
"Our nation was created by men of faith... sustained
by men of faith today in the midst of battle. There
will be jobs for all if the men of faith have their way."

More Cornellians' Children
Enter University
ONS AND DAUGHTERS of
S alumni who have entered the
University in this year's three terms,
including the one which began November
3, number 228, according to
information compiled by the Alumni
Office from the registration records.
Seven others had grandparents but
not mothers or fathers who were Corneίiians,
making a total this year of
23Φ;new students with direct Cornell
antecedents. Last fall, 168 entering
students were listed as children of
alumni and 175 as descendants of
Cornellians.
.* Eight of this year's newcomers are
third-generation Cornellians. Their
names and those of their Cornell
parents and grandparents are listed
in the "box" below.
Alumni Grandparents
Of the seven entering students who
noted alumni grandparents only one,
Wladimir K. Hagelin, listed also a
great-grandfather, the late Aaron P.
Storrs '69, whose son and the student's
grandfather is Charles P. Storrs
'95. The others with Cornellian
grandparents are Dorothy E. Dake,
granddaughter of the late Starks
Dake '74; William R. House, Jr.,
grandson of the late Clyde W. Knapp
'93; Mrs. Jacqueline Moffat Langdon,
granddaughter of the late John
L. Moffat '73; Joan C. Norwood,
granddaughter of Guy E. Norwood
'§8; Robert J. Reyna, grandson of
Ysidro Reyna '97; and Georgia A.
Westervelt, granddaughter of the late
William W. Root '90 and Mrs. Root
(Άiina Bronson) '93.
The listings which follow include
only civilian students; information
is not requested concerning the Cornell
antecedents of students sent to
the University by the Army and
Navy. But all civilian students are
asked when they enter to give the
names of their Cornell relatives. Besides
parents and grandparents, many
Cornell brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles,
and cousins are recorded. Among the
new students this year are Ann C. Sze
and Benjamin C. Sze, grandniece and
grandnephew of S. Alfred Sze '01.
But some students always fail to
list even their near relatives who are
alumni, with the result that our published
lists are always incomplete.
Additions are welcome for the University
records; they may be sent
either to the ALUMNI NEWS or the
Alumni Office, 3 East Avenue, Ithaca.
Asterisks (*) in the lists which follow
indicate that the persons so designated
are deceased.
Both Parents Cornellians
Four students of double Cornell
parentage are included among the
third - generation Cornellians. The
thirty-one others listed below make a
total of thirty-five, which is two more
than were discovered last year. Mothers
are listed by their student names.

Argentina, Belgium, Denmark, Germany,
Greece, Iraq, Japan, Kprea,
Norway, Rumania, and Siam.
China again heads the list with 30

Puerto Rico has 24, followed by
Canada with 21, Columbia with ,10?
and Costa Rica with 9. Central and
South America have a total of 79.
Othet countries represented inclμde

it isn't the purpose of a university
to help a student make money, although
that's a by-product of importance.
It's to make him the
kind of a man who can live splendidly,
with or without money.
How many of those songs do you
still remember?

brought orders for 128 copies of Professor
Carl Becker's book, Cornell
University: Founders and the Founding,
to mid-December. Additional
orders were still coming, according to
Victor Reynolds, manager of the
Press.
This is the same readable account
of the early days of the University
that is given as a prize for the best
identification of the "Campus closeup"
published in each issue of the
ALUMNI NEWS. One subscriber, ordering
the book, writes:
"I think your picture identifications
in the NEWS are a good sales
promotion idea. Twice I have identified
the pictures correctly, but forgot
to send it in; and now they seem to be
getting harder, so I guess I'd better
buy the book. I have been intending
to since it was published, but having
it brought to my attention in each
NEWS finally spurred me to order it."

acting Alumni Secretary of the University,
and secretary-treasurer of the
Alumni Association. His resignation
will take effect next June 30. President
Edmund E. Day has expressed
his hope that Heasley may be kept at
the University in some other capacity.
In January, 1939, Heasley came to
the University from the brokerage
business in Bradford, Pa., as executive
secretary of the Cornellian Council,
succeeding Archie M. Palmer '18.
The next June, the Cornellian Council
was renamed the Cornell Alumni
Fund Council and provision was
made to coordinate its activities with
those of the reorganized Cornell
Alumni Association. During 1939-40,
committees were reorganized in the
several Classes to solicit annual gifts
from alumni.
With Edward E. Goodwillie '10 as
president, the unrestricted Alumni
Fund given to the University has
reached record totals the last two
years and has put Cornell third among
all colleges and universities. The
Fund for 1943-44 totalled $189,735
from 8,077 contributors. Five years
earlier, the year that Heasley came
to Ithaca, the Fund had totalled
$71,251 from 6,622 contributors.
Since Lieutenant Colonel Emmet
J. Murphy '22 left as Alumni Secretary
of the University and secretary
of the Alumni Association in February,
1942, to become a captain in the
Army, Heasley has also carried on the
work of those two offices; and since
the revision of the by-laws last June,
he has been secretary-treasurer of the
Association. As acting Alumni Secretary,
he has administered the work
of Alumni House, including maintenance
of the University alumni lists,
fostering the activities of Cornell
Clubs, Classes, and other alumni organizations,
and the program of relations
with secondary schools. Since
October, 1943, when the undergraduate
Interfraternity Council suspended
operations, he has been secretary of a
committee of fraternity alumni, members
of the Faculty, and student fraternity
members set up to act for the
Council during the war period and to
make plans for "revitalizing" fraternities
at the University after the war.
Heasley received the AB in 1930,
was instructor in Economics as a
Senior, and won the track "C" as a
hurdler. He is a member of Quill and
Dagger and Chi Phi.
Dean Blanding Speaks
IXTY members of the Cornell
S Women's Club of Ithaca, following
dinner December 11 in the Green
Room of Martha Van Rensselaer
Hall, heard Dean Sarah G. Blanding,
Home Economics, deliver "A Challenge
to Cornell Women." "Being a
good homemaker is not enough,"
Dean Blanding said. "Women with
brains must exert them on problems
of peace after the war or there may
not be homes to guard. Women must
take an active part in community
life." Turkey dinner was prepared
and served by seven students in Institution
Management and Hotel
Administration.
Professor Dorothy C. DeLany '23,
Extension Service, chairman of the
Club membership committee, introduced
Miss Blanding.

Farrand Professorships
GIFTS MAKE MEMORIALS
GRANT from the Milbank Foundation
of $100,000 toward endowing
a professorship in the Medical
College in memory of President Livingston
Farrand, was announced at
the recent meeting of the Board of
Trustees executive committee.
Dr. Farrand, President of the University
from 1921 to 1937 and thereafter
until his death, November 8,
1939, President Emeritus, was long
interested in public health, especially
the prevention and control of tuberculosis.
The Milbank Memorial Fund,
endowed in 1905 by Mrs. Elizabeth
Milbank Anderson, has expended
some $12,500,000 for preventive and
educational work in public health,
medicine, and social welfare. After his
retirement from the University, Dr.
Farrand maintained offices in New
York City as a director of the Milbank
Fund and chairman of the
American Children's Fund.
In 1905, he organized the National
Association for the Study and Prevention
of Tuberculosis, as its executive
secretary. During the last world
war, on leave from the presidency of
the University of Colorado, he fought
the scourge of tuberculosis in civilian
France, sent by the International
Health Board, was decorated Officer
of the Legion of Honor, and returned
to direct the peace-time reconstruction
of the American Red Cross as
chairman of its central committee
in Washington. He had also been
treasurer of the American Public
Health Association and editor of the
American Journal of Public Health.
During Dr. Farrand's Presidency
of the University, in 1927, the New
York Hospital-Cornell Medical College
Association was formed with a
joint administrative board and a
grant of $7,500,000 from the General
Education Board and other endowments,
resulting in the opening of the
present Medical Center in New York
City in 1932.
Memorialize Service Men
From Conrad J. Saphier of Brooklyn,
father of the late Lieutenant
(jg) Jacques C, Saphier '36, USNR,
who was killed in action August 21,
1942, on Guadalcanal, has come to
the University a gift of $5,000 to establish
the Dr. Jacques Conrad
Saphier Scholarship Fund. The income
from this fund "shall be awarded
annually to a meritorious student
of the Cornell University Medical
College who has completed at least
one year of work, who needs its aid
and who, in the opinion of the Faculty,
merits the recognition for which
this Scholarship was established."
Lieutenant Saphier received the
AB in 1936, was captain of the Varsity
golf team, assistant editorial director
of the Sun, and a member of the Willard
Straight Hall board of managers.

Slants on Sports
Win, Lose at Basketball
V
ARSITY basketball team had its
first loss of the season, 39-43,
to Sampson Naval Training Center
in Barton Hall Saturday night, December
23. The Hall was comfortably
filled with spectators in spite of the
Christmas holiday the following Monday,
with many Navy uniforms in
evidence.
Coach Emerald B. Wilson started
and played for most of the game at
guard John G. Kimball, USNR, of
last year's team, in place of Lester W.
Calkins, USNR, who had played in
the three preceding games. The rest
of the team was the one previously
started: Acting Captain Irwin Alterson,
USNR, and William W. Matchneer
'48, forwards; Edward T. Peterson
'48, center; and Gordon W. Harrison
'46 in the other guard position.
Carl E. Glasow, USNR, of Rochester
and Walter D. Way '48 of Westport
were substituted late in the last half
for Peterson and Kimball.
McKeever of Sampson made a foul
shot good in the first minute of play,
but then Cornell took the ball and
Matchneer made three field goals and
Peterson one for a 7-point lead in four
minutes. Mills scored from the field
for Sampson, and Matchneer threw a
field goal and two foul shots to give
Cornell 12 to Sampson's 3. Three
Sampson foul shots and a basket from
the field left Cornell leading, 12-8, at
the middle of the first half.
Here the Sampson coach, Lieutenant
Phillip E. Young, put in a whole
new team and the sailors' defense
tightened and their offense became
more aggressive. Chanecka, the new
Sampson center, threw a field goal,
then Alterson made three, with one
for Sampson by Zaslofsky and another
by Chanecka to bring the score
to Cornell 17, Sampson 14, with three
minutes of the half to play. Foul
shots were made by Peterson and
Alterson, but Sampson made a field
goal, and another with two seconds
left, to bring the half-time score to
Cornell 19, Sampson 18.
Both starting teams came back to
the floor after the half, and Cornell
had difficulty holding its lead, Sampson
tieing at 26-all, then at 28, and
again at 32-all in twelve minutes.
Sampson forged ahead*, reaching a 6point
lead, 41-35, with two and a half
minutes to go. Then came a pair of
field goals, by Captain Alterson and
Sailor Chanecka, ten seconds apart,
and a final goal by Alterson ten sec-
onds before the horn blew. The game
ended with Sampson holding the ball
on the sideline.
Matchneer was high scorer with 18
points, followed by Alterson with 14.
Chanecka and Mills each scored 12
for Sampson. Peterson scored 3 for
Cornell, and Harrison and Kimball,
2 each.
Cornell 50, Columbia 35
Cornell won its first Eastern Intercollegiate
League game and the third
of the season, defeating Columbia,
50-35, December 16 in New York
City. Coach Wilson started his former
combination of Alterson and Matchneer,
forwards; Peterson, center; and
Harrison and Calkins. They gained a
13-point lead at half time, 26-19, and
increased it to 42-26 about half way
through the second period. With Substitutes
William N. Pochmursky,
USNR, and Frederick S. Turk '48,
forwards; Way at center; and Glasow
and Aurelio G. Forenza, USNR,
guards, Cornell made 8 more points
to Columbia's 9. Columbia used fourteen
players.
Alterson was high scorer, with 17
points; Matchneer made 13; Peterson
10, Harrison 8, and Way 2. Skinner
was high for Columbia with 12.
In a preliminary game December
23, the Midshipmen's School defeated
the Junior-Varsity, 42-32. This
was the fifth successive victory of the
Midshipmen; they defeated Ithaca
College, 48-38, December 16.
Swimmers Continue
WIMMING team opened its sea-
S son December 16 in the Old
Armory pool by defeating Colgate, 64-
11. This was the fifteenth successive
victory for Cornell, Coach G. Scott
Little's teams having won every meet
since January 9, 1943, when Columbia
scored 39 points against their 36.
Four veterans from last year's
crack team helped Cornell to win all
nine events from Colgate, with five
second places and two thirds. Paul
Klein '46 of New York City and Paul
C. Murray, USMCR, of Bronxville
were on the me'dley relay team which
won in 3:13.8. (The third member
was Joseph Di Stasio '48 of Newark,
N. J., recently of the football team.)
Ralph Riehl, Jr., USNR, of Erie, Pa.,
won the 220-yard freestyle race in
2:24.9; and Richard M. Holsten,
USMCR, of New Canaan, Conn.,
took the 100-yard freestyle in 57.6
seconds.
Newcomer winners were Wallace
White, USNR, of Brooklyn, 50-yard
freestyle in 0:26.3; Francis C. King,
USNR, of Washington, D. C., diving;
Donald Iseman '46 of New York City,
150-yard backstroke in 1:53.3; Charles
Reynolds '48 of Plainfield, N. J., 100yard
breaststroke in 2:44.6; Clarence
F. Urban, USNR, of Wilkes-Barre,
Pa., and recently from the South
Pacific, 440-yard freestyle in 5:39.5;
and the freestyle relay team of Naval
Reservists David J. Feldman of
Brooklyn, Paul Kaufman of Abington,
Pa., and Frederick J. Hammond
of Niagara Falls, and Gilbert E. Pinkham
'48 of Douglaston, which won
in 4:14.3.
Norman C. Merz '48 of South
Orange, N. J., won second place in
the 220-yard freestyle, as did John
D. Holmes, USNR, of Westfield in
the 50-yard freestyle. Ralph C. Ware
'48 of Oak Park, 111., took second in
diving; Harry W. LaWson, USNR, of
Framingham, Mass., second in the
100-yard breaststroke; and John H.
Muller III, USNR^σ§ Maplewood,
N. J., second in the 4^0^-yard freestyle
race. Third places were gained
for Cornell by Charles R. Fisher,
USNR, of Fremont, Ohio, in the 100yard
freestyle and Robert S. Hamilton
'48 of Oak Park, 111., in the 150yard
backstroke.
Winner of 5 points for the visitors
was Charles W. Seelbach '45, now
detailed to Colgate after two years in
the South Pacific Area with the
Marines. He is the son of Charles G.
Seelbach, '19 Class secretary, and
Mrs. Seelbach (Marcia Grimes) '18,
of Buffalo; was a member of Coach
Little's Freshman swimming team
here in 1941-42.
Snavely to Leave
NNOUNCEMENT came from
A the University December 20 that
Head Football Coach Carl G. Snavely
had been released from his contract
which expired next April 1. That same
evening, the University of North
Carolina announced in Chapel Hill
that Snavely would return there as
heaή coach, a position he left to come
to Cornell in 1935.
Formal release was given to Snavely
by President Edmund E. Day, acting
as chairman of the University Board
on Physical Education and Athletics,
by telephone from New York City.
Snavely called him from Montgomery,
Ala., where he was assisting Coach
Lynn Waldorf of Northwestern, preparing
the North team for the annual
North-South game, December 30.
He had stopped in Chapel Hill on the
way south. The University Board had
previously voted to cancel the contract
if requested, but deferred final
256 Cornell Alumni News

decision to give Snavely time to decide
his preference. Besides President Day
and University Treasurer George F.
Rogalsky '07, the Board is composed
of Robert J. Kane '34, Director of
Physical Education and Athletics;
Trustees Robert E. Treman '09 and
Tell Berna '12; three Faculty members,
Professors Walter B. Carver,
Mathematics, Paul M. O'Leary, Economics,
and John R. Moynihan '26,
Engineering; and Thomas W. Greenlees
'46 and George Bailey, USNR,
undergraduate members.
Kane said, "We are sorry Mr.
Snavely is leaving. He has been a
successful coach at Cornell and we
are confident and hopeful that he will
be successful elsewhere. Steps will be
taken immediately to fill the vacancy.
It is our intention to engage an outstanding
coach with a good record, in
order that Cornell football may be
continued on the same high level of
the last nine years under Coach
Snavely."
Good Record at Cornell
In his nine years at Cornell,
Snavely's football teams won fortysix
games, lost twenty-six, and tied
three. The 1939 team, which won the
Lambert Trophy as the outstanding
team of the East, was unbeaten in
eight major games, including that
with Ohio State, and Cornell was unbeaten
in eighteen successive games
from October 15, 1938, until November
16, 1940, when Dartmouth won
the famous "fifth down" game at
Hanover. Cornell won every game in
that period except the 1938 scoreless
tie with Pennsylvania. Since Snavely
has been at Cornell, only Pennsylvania
and the US Naval Academy of
all Varsity opponents have won more
games than they lost to Cornell. Yale
and Cornell have tied in six encounters.
Snavely is the third Cornell football
coach in thirty-four years, except for
the one-year term of Coach John H.
Rush in 1919. Since 1910 there have
been Dr. Albert H. Sharpe, Gilmour
Dobie, and Carl Snavely. Snavely's
son, Ensign Carl G. Snavely, Jr. '42,
USNR, was lost at sea last October
when the Navy patrol plane of which
he was co-pilot was forced down off
Newfoundland.
Bernard M. Clarey '28, acting director
of publicity for the Department
of Physical Education and Athletics
and sports writer for The Ithaca
Journal, wrote in "The Sport Tower"
of The Journal, December 20:
The Snavely era, a highly successful
one in Cornell gridiron history, is ended.
Carl's decision to leave will be regretted
by all who grew accustomed to the f undamentally
sound, precision-drilled Big Red
teams he coached. Under Snavely, Cornell
became colorful and versatile after floun-

COACH CARL G. SNAVELY
dering for years in drab raiment while
running its single track off-tackle plays.
In choosing North Carolina for his future
efforts, Snavely returns to the scene
of coaching triumphs in 1934 and 1935.
The Tarheel institution, determined to regain
its gridiron eminence of a decade ago,
recently set out to acquire an outstanding
football coach. Not any big name coach,
mind you, but Carl G. Snavely of Cornell.
He was made an attractive offer, an offer
that Cornell couldn't or wouldn't match.
From the Viewpoint of this Journal reporter,
who as student and correspondent
has known Cornell for twenty years, the
North Carolina bid was too high. It
afforded freedom of opportunity in the
search for material; it extended official
sanction to the desirability of a winning
football team; it was a mandate to Carl
Snavely to come back.
The acquisition of material is competitive.
At Cornell, Snavely was restricted
from bidding; yes, even approaching a
prospect. At Cornell, an unbeaten team
couldn't accept the climactic bowl bid on
New Year's Day. At Cornell, a football
player, must maintain a high scholastic
average, perhaps even higher than the
average student in some Faculty cases.
And at Cornell, there are no concessions
to athletes.
Snavely's decision to leave Ithaca
wasn't an easy one. He liked his position
and associates; he loved Ithaca. But he
knew that restrictions and the absence of
an established scholarship plan that would
attract athletes precluded hope for better
material. With this in mind, he chose to
return to North Carolina.
Convinced the situation here was hopeless
in that respect, he could be happy at
Cornell no longer. Thus, from the Cornell
standpoint as well as his own, it was better
to leave. . . .
Future prospects at Cornell aren't so
gloomy as some would have us believe.
Of course many schools, setting out to
corral the more talented boys in service,
will make attractive offers to the GIs who
may thereby supplement their Federal
grants for education. On the other hand,
however, there will be many ex-service
men, capable of playing football, who will
be more interested in earning a degree
from an institution whose graduates rank
among the best.
The records afford indisputable evidence
of the fact that Cornell will reach
the gridiron heights every now and then
without proselyting
No Freshman Women
UNTIL NEXT FALL
NNOUNCEMENT was made De-
A cember 16 that the University
would not admit Freshman women
in either the spring or summer terms
of 1945 to the Colleges of Agriculture,
Architecture, Arts and Sciences, Engineering,
Home Economics, or Veterinary.
With more than 2,000 women now
registered in Ithaca, it was explained,
University housing and eating facilities
are taxed to the utmost. It is not
expected that the number of women
students will decrease sufficiently the
next two terms to permit of taking
Freshman women until next fall.
Those who have applied for entrance
next March and July have been notified
that they cannot be accommodated
until fall. Even then, the number
who apply for the undergraduate
Colleges is expected to exceed the
University's facilities, and women applicants
are being advised to make
alternate plans.
Restrictions do not apply to students
for the Graduate School, Law
School, or the Medical College and
Nursing School in New York.
Besides the regular women's dormitories,
the University is using this
term to house undergraduate women
nineteen University-owned cottages,
eleven leased fraternity houses, and
four other rented houses. In addition,
the thirteen sorority houses are filled
with some 280 women, and about 200
more either live at home or with
relatives or in other approved Ithaca
homes. Provision has been made for
most of those housed by the University
to have three meals a day, either
in the dormitories or in dining rooms
operated by the Department of Residential
Halls in three former fraternity
houses. But a considerable number
live at some distance from their
meals, and for about 200 women
eating facilities are not provided by
the University. The present crowded
conditions can be relieved only by
building more dormitories for women,
some time after the war ends.
In the three war years, the number
of women students at Cornell has increased
almost 30 per cent, from 1,595
the fall of 1941. Increased enrollment
of women in all colleges and universities
in New York is reported by the
State Department of Education to
have been from 62,803 in 1943 to
82,250 in 1944.

Stories of Cornell
By FRANK A. WRIGHT '79
In 1877, Professor Herman E.
von Hoist came and delivered a
course of lectures that were popular
and well attended.
Born in Russia of German
parents and barred from Russia
because of his pamphlet attacks
on the government, he was the
best of all alien historians of the
United States a firm believer in
democracy and a warm admirer
of the Constitution. He tried to
show that the wounds of the
Civil War were healing and that
the Union was safe and secure.
His English was good except
the "th" sound, which escaped
him when he was excited. One
lecture he ended: "I tell you,
gentlemen, the South no longer
exists; in fact, sare iss no such
word as sous!"
Farrar 7 25 is president of the company
and Robert W. Jorgensen '29 is
assistant to the vice-president.
Kappell, Pianist
Γ> AILEY HALL was moderately
Ό filled for the second University
concert, by townspeople and members
of the University community, including
students in and out of uniform,
who braved snow and cold December
16 to hear William Kapell.
The twenty - two - year - old pianist
played a program of Bach, Brahms.
Chopin, Debussy, and Liszt, with a
group of three Preludes by Shostakovitch
as his only encore. He displayed
remarkable facility with his
graceful, flexible wrists and hands,
and played with dramatic force/ especially
the showy "Mephisto Waltz"
by Liszt. To a reporter unschooled in
music, he was at his best in the more
delicate movements of the Brahms
"Sonata in F Minor/ 7 when his whok
body seemed to express the mood of
the music.
He opened his program with the six
movements of the Partita in C Minor
from "Klavier Uebungen" by J. S.
Bach. From Chopin he played the
"Ballade in F Major", "Two Mazurkas",
"Nocturne," and "Scherzo
in E Major." From Debussy he se-
lected "Poissons d'or" and "La Soiree

The Faculty
University Trustee Stanton Griffis
ΊO is credited with achieving one of
the outstanding economic coups of
the war, in a New York Herald Tribune
story from Washington December
8, by Carl Levin. Details of Griffis's
mission to Sweden last spring,
hitherto secret, indicate that he succeeded
in shutting off more than half
of Germany's supply of high-grade
ball bearings. At request of the Foreign
Economic Administration, British
Overseas Airways flew him from
England as cargo, strapped horizontally
in the bomb bay of a Mosquito
bomber, at 300 miles an hour to
escape Nazi interception. In Stockholm,
he received threatening notes
warning him to give up his mission
and was continuously shadowed, but
he stayed for a month until he had
achieved what the Allies were depending
on him to do. Returning in
the same uncomfortable manner, his
plane was forced to turn back because
of unfavorable weather. But June 13,
the FEA announced that an agreement
had been made with the Swedish
SKF manufacturers for "a very substantial
reduction of ball-bearing exports
to Germany." Griffis is reported
now in Hawaii as American Red
January /,
Cross commissioner for the Pacific
Islands Area. Mrs. John Latouche
(Theodora Griffis) '39 and Nixon
Griffis '40 are his children.
John L. Collyer Ί7 University
Trustee and president of the B. F.
Goodrich Co., predicts that the country's
natural rubber income is likely
to "equal outgo" early in 1945, for
the first time since Pearl Harbor. He
explains that the extraordinary success
of substituting synthetic rubber
will make this possible. Collyer was
elected regional director of the National
Association of Manufacturers
at the Association convention in New
York City, December 7.
Franklin W. Southwick, PhD '43,
becomes extension assistant professor

before coming to Cornell as graduate
assistant in Pomology. For the last
year, he has been assistant professor
of pomology at University of Connecticut
at Storrs.

(Oct. 13) according to an evening report.
What rejoicing that will bring!
The Greek guard who had to haul
down the flag in April, 1941, threw
himself over the wall and killed himself.
... I expect to move in soon
with the first headquarters party. I
have some fine personnel. We have
worked long and hard building up
thousands of tons of supplies on paper
from careful advice and research.
Now we hope to handle the goods
and produce food. Our Greek agricultural
program calls for a halfmillion
tons of supplies in the first
year. [Professor Laurence H.] Mac-
Daniels [PhD '17, Floriculture,] is
now in Albania. Plans for three countries
are now complete. One more
year!"

Professor Paul M. O'Leary, Phd
'29, Economics, told the annual conference
of the Association for the Advancement
of Management in New
York City December 2 that the
Government is in the economic arena,
and it is "most unrealistic to believe
that it can or will merely drop its
wartime controls and retire to the
sidelines as soon as fighting has
ceased." The greatest danger is that
the several Government agencies "will
not behave consistently in the months
to come." The Government is committed,
he said, to bring about "pricecost
relations under which the economic
system can function at full
capacity, or a fiscal policy which
'washes away' the resistance to full
employment implicit in unbalancing
the price-cost relations in a flood of
purchasing power generated by Government
spending." Professor O'Leary
returned to the University this fall
after two years as deputy administrator
of the OPA in charge of rationing.

in Algiers as financial advisor, in
England assisting in the financial
planning before the invasion, and in
Italy in charge of setting up the economic
and financial agency for the
territory freed by the 7th Army. Recently,
he has worked in the Mediterranean
Area, including the Balkans
which necessitated a trip to Greece
concerned with controlling inflation.
He writes: "I liked Athens, and the
people, poor and hungry as they are
after four years under the Germans,
seemed clean and decent and goodspirited.
The political situation is still
264
obscure and of course the terrible inflation
has confused and disorganized
everything. But daily life goes on in
an orderly and peaceful manner." In
Athens he met Costa Couvaras '37, a
Greek and one of his former students
who is organizing Patriot bands there.
Mrs. Southard is office assistant to the

Dean Joseph C. Hinsey of the
Medical College, speaking December 2
at the annual luncheon of the American
Association of University Women
in New York City, declared that
medical graduate programs have suffered
during the war to the point of
severe deterioration. "Most of our
graduates get only nine months' internships,
a few an additional nine
months, and a small number still another
nine months. This is the socalled
9-9-9 program, properly dubbed
the rat-race." In addition, he said, the
loss of one-third of teaching- staff
members has resulted in an inevitable
lowering of standards. Dean Hinsey
listed as gains the fact that by next
July 1 the accelerated programs would
graduate 5,000 more physicians than
expected under old schedules; that
war research has stimulated teaching
in various medical fields, particularly
in tropical medicine and that government
financing of medical training for
students has greatly increased.
Dean William A. Hagan, MS Ί7,
Veterinary, has returned from ten
and a half months' travel to every
State as special consultant to the
chief, Bureau of Animal Industry, US
Department of Agriculture. He studied

He says that livestock population
in the West is greater than at any
time in the country's history.
Professor Ora Smith and William
C. Kelly, Vegetable Crops, have devised
a method to prevent the graying
of potatoes during dehydration. This
method is to acidify the tubers
slightly before dehydration. In addition
to laboratory trials, the method
has been successful in several commercial
dehydration plants. This
achievement is particularly important
because of the vast quantities of
potatoes shipped overseas. Professor
Smith spent part of November
and December working on sweet potato
dehydration at Louisiana State
University.
Professor Harold E. Botsford '18,

'12 BS—Editor & Publisher for
December 2 quotes an editorial in
The Chicago Tribune which takes to
task Edward L. Bernays for "effrontery."
Bernays published a pamphlet
in which he proposed that newspapers
adopt the "engineering of consent,
using public relations procedures . . .
to gain greater acceptance for the
press from the public." Said the
Tribune editorial: "Who is Mr. Bernays?
Well, the gentleman who hands
down these pronouncements is a press
agent. He has graduated to a paneled
office, so that makes him a public
relations counselor. He represents a
business that would like to be classified
as a profession. The business is a
parasite on the press. Responsible
editors spend a fair amount of time
protecting the public from the paid
special interest pressures of Mr.
Bernays and those of his kind. . . ."
