For a better way to take care of your nest egg 

talk to the people at Chase Manhattan 

Even a nest egg of modest size can be 

an enormous headache if you tend it 

yourself. 

Small as they are, such details as 

stock rights and records, call dates and 

coupons are frequently a nuisance to 

the nonprofessional. 

That's one reason why The Chase 

Manhattan has a Trust Division. 

A more important reason is to help 

you keep your nest egg intact, and to 

make plans with you for ultimately 

conveying it to your heirs with as little 

confusion and tax loss as possible. 

These nest egg services are immediately 

available to you at The Chase 

Manhattan. The Bank will act as your 

Executor and Trustee, serve as Custodian 

of your securities, advise you 

on your investments, and plan your 

estate with you and your lawyer.

As Coincidence Would Have It... 

THE ITHACA JOURNAL received a letter from a Cornell 

alumnus the other day, complaining about the small 

amount of Cornell sports news appearing in the New 

York City area newspapers. 

This complaint seemed a bit odd, because just the 

weekend before the Sunday New York Times had featured 

a large picture of Al Hall '56 winning a hammerthrow 

championship. Few short periods of time in 

recent years have seen as much publicity for one university 

as was accorded Cornell in early 1962. 

SADLY, much of this notice came on the occasion of the 

death of prominent Cornellians. 

There had been word of the death of former US 

Senator Irving Ives, first dean of the School of Industrial 

and Labor Relations, and author of the state 

legislation that established the ILR school. 

Hu Shih '14, regarded by many as the university's 

most distinguished former student, had died on Formosa. 

His classmate, Emerson Hinchliff, pays tribute to 

him in a column elsewhere in this issue of the NEWS. 

Dr. George Papanicolaou, professor emeritus of the 

Medical College, had suffered a fatal heart attack 

during one of his typically long and arduous days of 

research. His Pap smear test has been credited with 

cutting the national death rate for uterine cancer 

nearly in half in less than twenty-five years. A former 

American Cancer Society director considers it "the 

most significant practical discovery in the . . . field of 

cancer in our time." 

WHILE the medical world was mourning the passing of 

"Dr. Pap" it was also hailing the successful testing of a 

new anti-tuberculosis compound, isoniazid. Dr. Walsh

McDermott of the Medical College had been a pioneer 

in development of the drug. 

At the same time two alumni were receiving public 

notice, Eric Erickson '21 and Frank Drake '51. Erickson's 

incredible World War II career as a top-level spy 

against the Nazis is to become a movie, due for release 

this month. Drake was given a half-page play in the 

Saturday Evening Post's "People on the Way Up" section. 

He is a radio astronomer in search of signals from 

intelligent beings beyond our solar system. 

On the distaff side, Emily Garla Gorman '31 was 

named in February to the top job in the Women's 

Army Corps, after twenty years of WAC service. 

To RETURN to the complaint about athletic publicity, 

we thought immediately of the picture of Al Hall. The 

complaint implied a lack of diligence on the part of 

Cornell's tub-thumpers. But groundwork for the picture 

had not been laid by buying drinks for the sports 

editor of the Times. Coaching, and arduous practice by 

Hall in Bacon Cage, had done the job. 

The other stories had likewise come about because, 

over the years, Cornell had been the sort of place where 

a bright Chinese student wanted to go to school, where 

medical research was nurtured, where there was a wide 

pattern of instruction that welcomed a new field of 

study such as industrial and labor relations. Stories are 

usually the end result of a university doing its many 

jobs well. 

ALL THE PUBLICITY of recent months hasn't been favorable. 

Walter McQuade '47, a senior editor of Architectural 

Forum magazine, has written some kind words 

about the design of the new Olin Library, and some 

unkind ones about the rest of post-World War II architecture 

on campus. He set these forth in a six-page 

piece in the February issue of Forum. 

He recalls criticism of post-war construction by 

alumni. One of the leading critics of the demolition of 

Boardman Hall was Gilmore Clarke '13, former dean 

of Architecture. Clarke's interest has not been confined 

entirely to his alma mater: witness a recent letter to the 

New York Herald Tribune, signed by him and six 

others. The target this time was a proposal to tear 

down or reconstruct Penn Station in New York. 

As IF a typographical error wasn't insult enough, the 

space available for a March NEWS review of a recent 

book by Ray Howes '24 prevented the shedding of 

much light on one feature of the volume that is of special 

interest to Cornellians. 

The book is Historical Studies of Rhetoric and 

Rhetoricians, edited by Howes, former secretary of the 

university (not investments, as the typo had it). The 

Cornell University Press is publisher. 

The book reflects well the national influence of 

Cornell's Department of Speech and Drama on rhetorical 

scholarship over the past forty years, a point we are 

all glad to be reminded of. —JM

w Who-Me? 

You have an estate plan, even if it is one by default... 

...for if you leave no Will, or one that is not 

valid, the law decides how your property is 

to be distributed. This is a plan, to be sure, 

but not necessarily a good one for you. 

Everybody should have a Will responsive to his needs, and 

it should be drawn by his lawyer. 

Our experience as Executor and Trustee should be of value 

to you and your attorney in developing a flexible plan to 

cope with the ever changing needs of your family.

April 1962 

From a talk by the president of the University Council, 

before a regional conference, sponsored by the Council 

February 10 in St. Louis, Missouri. 

WHEN it was first suggested by university officials that 

I talk on "What the University Owes Its Alumni" I 

will have to admit somewhat sheepishly to a degree of 

surprise, and even shock. 

I had always thought of this statement being phrased 

in just the reverse terms—what alumni owe their university—and 

I will confess that in my own view this 

debt is large indeed. Never up until that moment had I 

given much thought to what a university owes its alumni. 

Now I suppose that if I were Art Buchwald I would 

be coming up with a lot of immediate suggestions. 

For example, maybe the first thing a university owes 

its alumni is a winning football team. In that respect, I 

shall have to tell [Vice President] Zwingle to his face 

that Cornell has fallen somewhat short of super-success. 

There are certain other obvious things. For example, 

at Reunion time any well-run university owes its alumni 

a reasonable number of expansive and ebullient old 

grads adequately filled with that renowned St. Louis 

beer. 

Perhaps it might also be said that the well-run university 

needs to have a few unruly students around just 

to keep the college in the papers and provide the alumni 

with conversation pieces—as well as with a smug satisfaction 

in how much superior they were in their day in 

spite of all the prankish indiscretions in which they engaged. 

And I suppose another thing a university owes its 

graduates is an opportunity to work like tigers for the 

good old alma mater. 

But then as the thought processes—to whatever degree 

I am capable of them—started in, it began to 

dawn upon me that there really are things a university 

owes its graduates, no matter how recent or remote 

their vintage. 

Let us not for a moment deny the other half of this 

obligation equation, namely that of the responsibility of 

the alumni to the university, but let us rather direct 

our attention to what a university can do to make it 

What Does Cornell 

Owe Its Alumni? 

Three things, says a former student 

BY HAROLD BRAYMAN 5 20 

possible for, to develop the proper motivation for, and 

to make it relatively easy for its alumni to give the support 

and help that any university needs from its graduates. 

It seems to me that these obligations of the university 

fall into three main categories: 

First, the obligation of maintaining and consistently 

strengthening its position of prestige and leadership in 

American higher education; 

Second, the obligation to keep its alumni fully informed 

on its activities, achievements, and problems; 

And third, to come back to my original reaction, the 

obligation of permitting its alumni to have an opportunity 

of participating in the life and development of 

the university. 

To take these up briefly in order: 

The obligation on a university to build constantly its 

prestige and leadership is fundamental. Educational institutions, 

like all others, cannot stand still. They either 

go ahead or slip back. One that is content to slip back 

is not meeting its responsibility to its alumni because 

in so doing it is reducing constantly the value and 

prestige of a degree from that institution. 

How a university goes about increasing constantly its 

prestige and institutional leadership is another subject, 

not properly within the domain of what I was asked 

to talk about. But that this end must be attained is undeniable 

if a university is to perform its fullest function. 

And it is equally undeniable that this end can be 

fully attained only with the support and backing of all 

its alumni. 

Alumni generally have long been known for the 

sentimental attachment they feel and exhibit toward 

their university. Our college days were thrilling, exciting 

times, and it is natural that we would enjoy recalling 

and reliving them. 

But they were more than fun and stimulation. 

Cornell University has had a deep, intimate, and enduring 

influence on the personality and future life of 

each of us. In a real sense, the success, the stature, and 

the worth of Cornell must be partially assessed in terms 

of the character, influence, and achievements of its 

alumni. Cornell and its students are wedded for life. 

And as the university goes ahead to new achievements, 

its alumni share in the benefits. The achieve- 

7

ments of Cornell to date have been 

outstanding. In recent years several 

studies have been made by different and 

independent groups on the merit of 

American universities. In no instance 

that I know of has Cornell rated lower 

than sixth or seventh among the 800-odd 

institutions of higher learning in this 

country. In some instances it has been 

rated higher. 

This is good—but not good enough. 

I suppose it will be quite a long time 

before Harvard is toppled from first 

place^ but perhaps even this is not impossible 

since such a large percentage of 

its faculty has moved to Washington. 

However^ Cornellians and Cornell will 

never be satisfied until our university 

ranks at least equally with the top. Just 

being close to it is not enough, and the 

determination to bring it higher is strong 

among everyone concerned. 

And now let us turn our attention for 

the moment to the university's second 

obligation to its alumni—to keep them 

informed. 

Only an informed alumni body can be 

an effective alumni body. No matter to 

what corner of the earth an alumnus 

may venture, he retains a natural interest 

in and desire to know about his university, 

its faculty, its staff, its students, 

and its activities. 

We want to know that things are going 

well and that the university is meeting 

with new success and achievement. But 

the report from the university must not 

concern itself with the successes and the 

happy achievements alone. We also want 

to know about the problems—the 

troubles that Cornell may be experiencing 

in these difficult and trying times in 

its efforts constantly to elevate its goals 

and standards. 

We expect the university to be frank 

and totally open with us in any report of 

the situation it faces. This it has done 

in the past; this I am confident it will 

always continue to do in the future. Only 

in this way can the loyalty and interest 

of an alumni group be brought to its 

fullest fruition. 

And now thirdly, we come down to 

the last obligation-—offering its alumni 

the opportunity to take part and to work. 

It is through this means that a university 

can stimulate interest to the highest 

degree, can utilize talent to the highest 

degree, and can really build an effective 

working team to the benefit of all. 

Most alumni want to assist. Generally 

speaking, we can assist in at least 

three areas: 

First, each of us, no matter what our 

profession or field, can add to the prestige 

and stature of the university by constantly 

informing our own friends and acquaintances 

of the activities a nd achievements 

of Cornell. Word-of-mouth discussion 

has long been the most effective 

method of building a favorable public 

8 

opinion. This is especially true in raising 

the stature of an institution. 

I'm sure that each of us has numerous 

opportunities in our normal everyday 

life to spread the word about Cornell and 

its unique role in American higher education. 

If each of the 100,000 alumni 

took it upon himself to inform his friends 

and associates more fully and enthusiastically 

about Cornell, the cumulative 

impact upon the national stature of the 

university would be tremendous. 

A second way in which we can be of 

assistance is by attracting to Cornell the 

type of young man or woman who will 

profit most from the type of education 

offered there. Much is being done along 

this line by our Alumni Secondary 

Schools Committees, but here again each 

of us can add his individual effort by being 

on the alert in his own community 

for outstanding university prospects. 

And a third and very obvious way in 

which the alumni can be of genuine assistance 

to the university is by giving financial 

assistance on a regular annual 

basis and at its special periods of extraordinary 

need. In addition to our own 

gifts we can also assist the university by 

our participation in the efforts necessary 

to contact and solicit the large body of 

alumni whose support is needed. 

I am confident that the vast majority 

of alumni are willing and anxious to 

participate more fully in the life of this 

great university, with which they created 

an intimate and. enduring relationship 

during an important and critical period 

in their lives. We have a right to ask the 

university to recognize its obligation to 

keep us informed about its activities and 

needs, and to allow us the opportunity to 

be of assistance and to participate in its 

ever expanding life. 

The chance 

to take part 

JUST WHAT are the opportunities for 

alumni to take part in the life of the 

university? Chairman Brayman lists 

some there are many others. 

Cornell has some 80,000 former undergraduates 

and 20,000 former graduate 

students. All are automatically members 

of the Cornell Alumni Association more 

than 27,000 are now paid subscribers to 

the ALUMNI NEWS 22,500 contributed 

to the Cornell Fund last year; and nearly 

22,000 cast alumni trustee ballots last 

spring. 

Well over 10,000 alumni and a goodly 

Four hundred alumni volunteers sit 

number of alumnae pay class dues. The 

Cornell Clubs have some 9,000 to 10,000 

dues-paying members, and the various 

college alumni associations have memberships 

in the several thousands. 

Numbers do not tell all the story, by 

any means. A lesser number of alumni 

contribute many tens and hundreds of 

hours a year to the volunteer programs 

of the university. 

More than 4,000 men and women call 

on fellow alumni as members of Cornell 

Fund committees; more than 1,200 

interview prospective students and speak 

at schools as member of Secondary 

School committees. Upwards of one 

thousand alumni are class officers and 

as many again are officers or committee 

chairmen in Cornell Clubs. 

At the apex of all alumni activities are 

the governing and coordinating bodies, 

the Alumni Association board and the 

University Council, the federations of 

Cornell Clubs, and the Association of 

Class Secretaries. At the very top is the 

university's Board of Trustees. Thirtyfive 

of its present forty-eight members 

are alumni. 

Opportunities to serve, and be served 

by, the university are varied, as a brief 

summary of alumni activities makes 

clear: 


down to lunch at the January meeting of class officers and the Cornell Fund in New York. The camera lens provides the distortion. 

Secondary School committees, some 

140 in number, seek out top-flight applicants 

for each year's freshman class, 

and take the Cornell story to principals, 

headmasters, and guidance counsellors. 

Cornell Fund committees in each 

men's and women's class solicit each 

year for unrestricted gifts to the university. 

The Fund includes Alumni Annual 

Giving, and the CURW, Cornell Plantations, 

Law, Library, Medical College, 

Art Museum and Parents funds. More 

than $1,000,000 was raised last year. 

Alumni committees also seek bequests, 

corporation and capital gifts. 

University Council membership includes 

250 leading alumni who represent 

Cornell in their communities, spot and 

• encourage new alumni leaders, advise 

ron the fund-raising and other programs 

rof the university, and keep informed 

.about Cornell. 

The Board of Trustees of the university 

includes ten members elected directly 

by alumni, two each year for 

ίfive-year terms. A committee of the 

/Alumni Association nominates candidates 

each spring. Every former student 

is mailed a ballot. 

College advisory councils work with 

at least eight of the graduate and undergraduate 

colleges. Alumni and some 

April 1962 

non-Cornellians serve to bring outside 

ideas and assistance to the colleges. 

Class organizations keep classmates in 

touch with one another through newsletters, 

dinners, and other events away 

from campus, and at the annual Homecoming 

and Reunion on campus. Elected 

officers and a class council carry out the 

work of the class. 

Cornell Clubs exist in nearly one hundred 

cities and regions. They have social 

events of their own, bring alumni in contact 

with the university through faculty 

and other speakers from campus, and in 

many cases sponsor Secondary School 

Committees, scholarships, and other 

programs of direct support to the university. 

College alumni associations are another 

way for former students to keep 

informed of their college, keep in touch 

with fellow alumni professionally, and 

assist their college. 

Other alumni groups provide links 

with other organizations on campus. 

The Art Museum, Libraries, CURW, 

the Athletic Association, fraternities, 

sororities, some undergraduate extracurricular 

clubs, honoraries, and athletic 

teams have organized auxiliaries of 

alumni. 

The Alumni Association coordinates 

the work of a number of member organizations, 

including the federations of 

men's and women's clubs, the Association 

of Class Secretaries, and the college 

alumni associations. Also represented on 

its governing board are committees on 

alumni trustee nominations, publications, 

secondary schools, and placement. 

Information about the university 

comes to alumni through many of the 

groups mentioned above, and through a 

quarterly Letter from Cornell published 

by the university., In addition: 

The Cornell Alumni News is published 

by the Alumni Association, with 

subscriptions sold to individuals and 

purchased by classes with income from 

class dues. The two youngest classes receive 

the NEWS as part of their original 

matriculation fee. 

Regional conferences are held several 

times a year for alumni in different parts 

of the country, under University Council 

sponsorship. 

Faculty Forums are a part of the annual 

June Reunion, which is put on by 

the Association of Class Secretaries. 

Finally, several hundred alumni a 

year make use of the alumni Placement 

Service. This office in New York City is 

a clearing-house for jobs and for alumni 

seeking jobs.

JEREMIAH WHIPPLE JENKS., Professor 

of Politics and Political Economy, holds 

the heavyweight hall-filling record 

among Cornell professors. It is impossible 

to get halls big enough to hold his 

classes. When he begins his lectures the 

room is usually so crowded that strong 

men remove their coats, and co-eds sit in 

the aisles. He talks on the Far East, or 

Our Island Possessions, or International 

Politics, or Trusts (pro or con), or Political 

Economy in all its ramifications, 

or anything on earth that you would like 

to know about. He is a Government 

Expert, and he knows what he is talking 

about. He was the Expert of the United 

States Industrial Commission in charge 

of the investigation of trusts in 1900, 

the Commissioner to the Orient of the 

War Department in 1902, the United 

States Commissioner of International 

Exchange in 1904, and many other 

things besides. 

It is not unusual for one of his lectures 

to start in the following manner: Professor 

Jenks leans gracefully upon his 

desk and squints at the windows. His 

attendant lowers the shades. Professor 

Jenks fixes his gaze upon the nearest 

(elderly) co-ed, allows a saccharine 

smile to steal gradually over his countenance, 

wags his eyebrows, and speaks: 

"Taking up the lecture at the point 

where we left off last time {applause 

from Agricultural student in rear of 

hall) I distinctly remember one conversation 

I had a few years ago with Prince 

Huroario Lai Skookum, the ruler of 

Bungstarto in upper India." {The back 

rows cheer wildly, and the Professor 

cocks his head on one side and smiles up 

at them coquettishly). 

"I was traveling up the river Soako by 

slow stages in a Dak Bungalow, and 

I stopped off to make certain inquiries 

concerning the monetary system of 

Bungstarto, and incidentally to ascertain, 

if possible, the exact number of 

wives in Prince Hurario's harem." (The 

co-eds smile knowingly, and the back 

rows break out into screams of delight. 

Jenks looks at his necktie, and tries to 

appear displeased.) 

"I found the Prince out in the court- 

10 

Some (More) Cornell Professors 

yard of the palace, breaking in an unused, 

and to me wholly new, Khitmatgar. 

You may obtain the correct spelling 

of this word from the typewritten 

notes which I will distribute at the end 

of the hour. I told the Prince who I 

was, and we conversed for some time. I 

was greatly interested to note that in 

speaking he used the pure Cantata dialect, 

with which, of course, I am thoroughly 

conversant. Are there any questions?"^ 

frightened co-ed in the front 

row makes a noise like a grasshopper. 

Cries of "Louder" from the rest of the 

room.) "Oh, yes! Yes indeed; Much 

purer than that of Lower Weepul!" And 

so on. 

He goes to India and studies conditions. 

He goes to China and does the 

same. He goes to Cuba, the Philippines, 

Porto Rico, Samoa—everywhere, in fact 

—and generally manages to instill order 

into something that is chaotic. 

He can tell you the exact difference 

between the government of Rhode Island 

and that of Shan-Si; or why South 

Boston isn't run the same way that Benares 

is run; or what will be done at the 

next Hague Peace Conference; or why 

you ought to wear a new suit all the time 

instead of hanging it up in the wardrobe 

so that it will look well next Saturday 

night; or why the Chinese punch square 

holes in their money; or anything about 

anything anywhere. 

He can talk Chinese—several dialects. 

He can read it too, and write it. He is 

a flyless wonder, and the Cornell students 

fondly hope that he will stick 

around Ithaca, and not go away to be 

President of some other college. 

Four years ago the Chinese government 

sent a large cluster of Commissioners 

to this country to get an insight 

into some of our educational institutions. 

Such a Commission was meat for Professor 

Jenks, so he was sent to the Pacific 

Coast to meet it and escort it across the 

country. There was, so to speak, a first 

and a second team of Commissioners, 

and they traveled separately. Jenks traveled 

with the first team. 

They crossed the continent by easy 

stages, taking in the various institutions 

Continuing a 1909 Bohemian magazine piece 

by the late Kenneth Roberts '08, 

illustrated by Ed Wheelan Ίl 

of higher learning, and several of the 

Seven Wonders of the United States. 

Finally the first team reached Ithaca, 

and accompanied by Professor Jenks and 

an assorted collection of cheers, were 

initiated into many a Cornell mystery. 

Meanwhile the second team had announced 

its intention of leaving Cornell 

to the first team, and had passed on to 

some of the smaller institutions of New 

York. Consequently it was a great surprise 

to President Schurman when, a 

few days later, he received a telegram 

informing him that the second team had 

changed its mind, and would visit Cornell 

on the following day. Prexy, however, 

immediately notified Professor 

Jenks of the change, and delegated him, 

together with Professor Crane, the Dean 

of the University Faculty, to meet the 

gentlemen from China. 

Accordingly, sunrise of the following 

morning found Professors Crane and 

Jenks, immaculately garbed, awaiting 

the arrival of the Commissioners on the 

platform of the Lehigh Valley Station. 

To make sure, one of the Professors had 

wired Buffalo for information, and had 

been telegraphically told that "Special 

Car 'Fantana' left for Ithaca on No. 8." 

So the Professors waited patiently. 

When the train finally pulled in, 

Messrs. Crane and Jenks hurried to the 

private car "Fantana" and posed gracefully 

by the steps. They were surprised 

by the appearance of a statuesque chemical 

blond, who gazed at them in wonder, 

and then fell back into the car. The 

learned gentlemen opined that the second 

team was traveling in more luxury 

than the first, but continued to await 

developments. 

Meanwhile a Voice inside the car informed 

all who might be interested that 

outside were two swell papas who were 

all to the Za-Za, and who furthermore 

had silk ties and a glass hack at seven in 

the morning. 

And then, amid loud cries of "Lead 

me to it!" there emerged from the door 

of the car "Fantana" a bevy of coryphees 

who fell upon the necks of the astounded 

and wholly outraged Professors. For 

the private car "Fantana" was the home 


of a comic opera company, and not connected 

in any way with a Chinese Commission. 

Somebody had fooled Prexy. It was 

a terrible blow to Professor Jenks and 

Professor Crane; but both of the gentlemen 

are sports—possibly "thoroughbreds" 

would be more acceptable— and 

they staggered gamely but safely up the 

hill. The story was hushed up; some 

people say it isn't true. Others say it is. 

Editorially speaking, we have a hunch; 

consequently we give you the story. 

'Teefy' Crane 

Professor Thomas Frederick Crane, 

the retiring Dean of the University Faculty, 

and Professor of the Romance Languages 

and Literatures (business of 

pausing for a deep breath), has an excessive 

amount of dignity and an unknown 

amount of hair. He has, it is said, 

filled every known position in the University 

Faculty, from Acting President 

to University Fireman. He has certainly 

been acting President; but that part 

about the fireman—well, it would be 

unfair to make a pun out of it. He is 

known among the undergraduates by the 

endearing diminutive of "Teefy." Says 

the song: 

Give my regards to Davey, 

Remember me to Teefy Crane. 

He is the undergraduates' court of 

last appeal. He hauls the naughty little 

boys up on the strip of red carpet which 

totally surrounds his desk, and disposes 

of them as the spirit moves him. The 

little boys plead and expostulate and explain, 

while Teefy gazes coldly out of 

the window. If he sees the long slope 

of the hill, stretching down to the red 

and gray roofs of rocky Ithaca, and the 

blue waters of the lake, and the checkerboard 

farms across the valley, he gives 

no sign. Nor does he seem to hear the 

April 1962 

nervous explanation of the carpeted 

offender. 

He's a very hard man to talk to, is 

Teefy. Occasionally he holds speech 

with a transgressor. In that case, he talks 

the way a rabbit dog runs—in circles. 

How many nervous, unhappy undergraduates 

have stood upon that strip 

of red carpet and shivered! How many 

fond fathers have rushed hundreds of 

miles to save their sons the inconvenience 

of being summarily ejected, disjecta 

membra, upon a cruel, talkative world. 

But there are times when Teefy can 

rise and talk for hours, starting, "I well 

remember, back in '72, when what is 

now the Campus was nothing but a—" 

etc. Then Teefy is soothing. Very soothing. 

Undergraduates are apt to be a trifle 

extreme in their attitude toward Teefy, 

even though he takes a deep interest in 

them and in their activities. They think 

that he has no sense of (college) humor, 

and that his sympathies are atrophied; 

and when the undergraduates begin to 

think that a Professor is unsympathetic, 

they forever regard him with a certain 

amount of suspicion and distrust. But 

Teefy has a sense of every kind of humor, 

and he is very sympathetic. The mistaken 

idea which the students have of 

him is due to the fact that he has a frozen 

face. Laughter seems to cause him 

intense pain; and dull care is apparently 

a constant lodger upon his brow. Consequently 

the undergraduates do not go 

out of their way to meet him, nor do they 

give the college cry each time his name 

is mentioned. 

But let Teefy get out to an alumni 

banquet! That's where he cuts ice. 

When he enters the banquet hall, a frenzied 

member of the class of '74 claws his 

way to a table top, and amid cat-calls, 

yells, and cries of "Oh you Teefy!" 

screams for a "Looooooong yell fuh 

Teeeeeefy Craaaaaane. Are yooooooy 

The Preceptor The Student 

ready!" And he gets it. Wow! How he 

gets it. And from that moment, Teefy 

is the crime de la crime, the Cream 

Yvette, and the creamed potato of the 

entire gathering. It often takes a long 

while for some Cornellians to appreciate 

Thomas Frederick Crane, A.M., Litt. D., 

but the appreciation always comes. 

'The Great Man' 

Edward Bradford Titchener, M.A., 

Ph.D., L.L.D., Sage Professor of Psychology, 

is a wise man with a mission. 

Brother Miinsterberg of Harvard holds 

that there are only two Psychologists— 

count them—two, who are really worthy 

of the name: Titchener and Miinsterberg. 

It's a great team—Eddie and 

Hugo. The James boys, Hen, and Will, 

seem to be somewhat out of it, but then 

they're different, poor fellows. 

Last year Professor Miinsterberg prevailed 

upon Professor Titchener to come 

down to Cambridge and talk before his 

class. So Titchener packed his toothbrush 

and his Psychological smile, and 

caught a Boston train. 

Meanwhile Miinsterberg primed his 

class over against the arrival of the visiting 

brother. He told the students that 

he wanted them to listen closely to the 

words of his illustrious colleague, and to 

treat him with the respect due to a great 

man. Naturally enough, the Harvard 

gentlemen were a trifle peeved at these 

somewhat unnecessary instructions; so 

on the following day, when Professor 

Titchener mounted the platform to address 

them on the "Whichness of the 

Whatnot," his hearers applauded, and 

applauded and applauded and applauded, 

the while the Professor was 

waiting to begin. He bowed and he 

achieved a smile, and he made a false 

start; and the applause waxed greater 

in the land, and disgruntlement lay upon 

Titchener's shoulders like unto a mantle. 

At length, after many minutes, it died 

away; whereupon the Great Man spoke: 

"Gentlemen, I thank you for your 

welcome. Only once before have I met 

with such a welcome, and on that occasion 

it was my fortune to address an 

audience of lunatics." Whereat a great 

peace fell upon the lecture room, and 

remained there until the lecture was 

done. 

It is a pleasure to attend one of his 

classes. On the stroke of the hour—no 

earlier and no later—he emerges from 

his private office and mounts the platform. 

He is of medium height, and very 

broad. He invariably wears a high and 

hyper-immaculate collar, graced by an 

incredibly beautiful Ascot tie. Each hair 

upon his head has its time-honored position, 

and there it lies, serene and undisturbed. 

His beard is brown, piquant, and 

scholarly withal. He places his hands 

tenderly behind his back, and allows— 

11

yes, allows—a stream of limpid, euphonious 

and infinitely precious words to flow 

from his gracefully opened lips. He is 

never at a loss for the exact word to fill 

any given place. 

During the course of a lecture a dog 

may leave his master's chair and wander 

rakishly around the room. He is observed 

by Professor Titchener. There is a pause. 

Then the dog advances to the open 

space before the platform, sits softly 

upon it, regards the Professor attentively 

—and remains there until the lecture is 

finished. Why? Why? Ask the Professor. 

Psychology, my boy. 

Or the assistant may bring a nervous, 

irritated hen and place her carefully before 

the Professor. He picks her up, 

counts her teeth, addresses her kindly, 

lays her down again on the desk, and 

broods over her for a moment. The hen 

remains there, motionless. Oh, it's a 

great study, is Psychology. 

Do not think, however, that Professor 

Titchener devotes all his time to the 

hypnotizing of dogs and hens. Far from 

it. He has a mission. "So far," he will tell 

you, "I have accomplished nothing— 

nothing. But some day, if I can live—" 

and he gazes abstractly at the floor and 

pulls meditatively upon the butt of a 

black cigar. 

If, after seeing him in the lecture 

room, you visit him in his home during 

working hours, you will receive a terrific 

jolt. In place of the placid, black-robed, 

white-tied savant, you will find another 

person. In the midst of a chaotic mass 

of books, papers, pads, cigar-ash, pamphlets 

and manuscript, scattered indiscriminately 

on desk, table, chairs and 

floor, sits the other Professor Titchener. 

His hair is rumpled; his beard, instead 

of being piquant, is abandoned his cigar 

is stale and frazzled; his tie, an utterly 

dissolute specimen of the string variety, 

loosely circles the soft collar of a lasthope 

shirt; his jacket was seemingly 

made for him during a former incarnation. 

You hear a scuttling sound around 

your feet, and looking down you see two 

white mice hastening deliriously toward 

a pile of musty tomes in the corner. 

There are more in some of the desk 

drawers. Or in another darker corner 

you hear a Sound, and turning you see 

two Eyes looking at you. And in other 

places you hear other Sounds. So you 

make your exit walking backward, and 

wondering uncomfortably just how 

much Professor Titchener can find out 

without being told. 

He has done a great deal, and says 

he has done nothing. The speculation 

naturally arises as to how much he will 

have done when he finally admits that 

he has done something.

Tθ BE CONTINUED. 

The American College 

The beast itself, and a book about it 

FROM THE EARLIEST colonial days, 

Americans have been absorbed in the 

subject of education. Today this absorption 

has a new intensity. Citizens of every 

type are grappling afresh with issues almost 

as if wrestling with a bear—albeit 

a friendly sort. After all, it has been with 

us from infancy. Although friendly most 

of the time, it is very big, very expensive 

and not very manageable. 

Local politicians from hamlet to metropolis 

are puzzled about the public 

school system, while school superintendents 

maintain an uneasy balance in their 

elevated but exposed positions. 

Corporation executives, junior and 

senior, convene in groups small and large 

to analyze corporate responsibilities for 

the support of education. 

Foundations pay for studies—and 

studies of studies. 

Churchmen ponder the loss of their 

onetime near monopoly on education 

and puzzle grievously over the secular 

tone of schools and colleges—not only the 

public institutions but the church-supported 

ones as well. 

The executive and legislative branches 

of government in Washington stage an 

annual marathon debate over methods 

for further federal support of education, 

and the public press has found that education 

is front-page news. 

The new fascination with the American 

college is reflected in books about 

trustees, books about presidents, books 

about professors, and books about students. 

The Carnegie Foundation has asked 

former President Dodds of Princeton to 

write a new study of the college presidency, 

certain results of which have already 

been made public. Former President 

Henry Wriston of Brown has recorded 

his views in a lively book entitled 

Academic Procession. Oliver C. Carmichael, 

former university president and 

former director of the Carnegie Foundation 

for the Advancement of Teaching, 

has just completed a book on graduate 

education. John J. Corson of Mc- 

Kinsey & Company has written a comprehensive 

volume called The Governance 

of Universities. 

The general theme of all these books is 

BY JAMES L. ZWINGLE,, PHD 5 

42 

that there is hardly anything stranger 

than a college, unless it be a university. 

And of all universities those who know 

Cornell (and even some who do not) 

think that it may be the strangest of all. 

The American College, edited by 

Nevitt Sanford, is both the newest and 

most unusual of the fresh stream of these 

volumes on higher education, a compendious 

single volume collection of essays. 

Cornell's vice president for student 

affairs has made a solid contribution in 

his chapter on "drop outs," one of the 

most elusive and vexatious of the problems 

discussed in the book. 

No mere compilation 

Each of the chapters is based on a 

range of earlier studies of particular 

questions but this is no mere compilation 

of data. Its sixteen authors deal forthrightly 

with every major aspect of current 

problems in higher education except 

that of finance. Its editorial committee, 

of which Cornell's Professor 

Robert MacLeod, psychology, is a member, 

has wisely chosen to examine educational 

policy and practice as such in an 

effort to disclose the problems of dynamics 

in higher education rather than 

the mechanics of the system. 

Through twenty-nine articles the reader 

is led from general topics to an analysis 

of the American college student, 

thence to the academic procedures by 

which the colleges operate, on to the 

behavior of students as a distinct group 

within American society; next to the 

measurable effects of higher education; 

the relationships between the colleges 

and the nation at large; and finally to a 

description of problems yet to be researched. 

This is not just another book 

for the professionals. It is a successful 

interpretation of issues which urgently 

need public attention, issues which can 

only be resolved through public policy, 

issues which can ultimately be met only 

through the operation of informed public 

opinion. 

The essay by David Reisman and 

Christopher Jencks has created the most 

excitement by the bold assertion that in 

effect the college in America is supported 

mainly because it is a means to social 


and economic improvement. They refer 

to the college as a substitute for initiation 

rituals belonging to more primitive cultures, 

the twentieth century method of 

inducting youth into adult society— 

hence all the apparatus of social life, organized 

student activities, and general 

emphasis on generally non-academic affairs. 

While their point is hard to deny, absurdities 

of American campus life being 

what they are, it can also be argued the 

other way: that if Americans were consciously 

to view the college as a sound 

means to initiate the young into the responsibility 

of adulthood, the productivity 

of the college might greatly increase. 

It is the mixture of attitudes that confuses 

the issue—the tendency of the student 

to encroach upon the authority of 

the college, the tendency of parents and 

others to attack the authority of the institution, 

the tendency at the same time 

to devalue the intellectual purpose of the 

college, and even to overindulge the 

lingering adolescence of the college student. 

At the same time students are encouraged 

to pursue campus activities as 

preparation for future positions in management. 

Yet the new competition for 

places in college necessitates more and 

more attention to studies, hence better 

marks, but not necessarily any deeper 

concern with such matters as self-discovery, 

self-discipline, and some irreducible 

commitment to the common 

good—matters usually associated with 

education in the best sense. 

These mixtures of attitudes compound 

the problem. 

The cure is not to leap to the opposite 

extreme by concentrating on intellectual 

development alone, but to encourage 

a balanced outlook which will 

view the discipline of intellect and emotions 

as equal or interlocking functions, 

and will view responsibility to the larger 

community of basic importance along 

with the inevitable concern for personal 

success. 

A business parallel 

Again, Reisman and Jencks view the 

American college as somewhat parallel to 

the business corporation as a phenomenon 

of our recent history, each having 

developed certain corporate personalities 

and spheres of influence. 

Thus, they maintain that this personality 

(or tradition, to use an older 

term) tends to freeze the college in a 

certain pattern of behavior. This tradition 

is the principal magnet in attracting 

students of a certain type or students 

who aspire to mold themselves according 

to the supposed type. Outstanding examples 

are the colleges of the so-called 

Ivy League, the Little Seven, or the 

Seven Sisters. 

Indeed it is clear that the college is 

April 1962 

About the Author 

"J L." ZWINGLE was president of Park 

College in Missouri for eight years before 

returning to Cornell as vice president 

of the university in 1955. 

He is a graduate of the University of 

Tennessee, earned the PhD in English at 

Cornell in 1942, and has held teaching 

and administrative posts in various institutions, 

including Tennessee and Cornell. 

From 1942-47 he held a variety of 

top posts with USO. 

As vice president of the university he 

works closely with the faculty, while directing 

activities in alumni and public 

relations, and in fund raising. 

most effective when it succeeds in impressing 

the student with the wholeness 

of campus influence. Another study by 

Philip Jacob (Changing Values in College) 

illustrates dramatically the need 

for just this consciousness of total campus 

influence. 

To illustrate the same point, T. R. 

McConnell comments on a study conducted 

at Cornell to explore the vocational 

attitudes of students. Conclusion: 

that men at Ivy League colleges show a 

higher interest in basic education and 

the appreciation of ideas than do typical 

students of the non-Ivy colleges. 

In the same chapter, however ("The 

Diverse Student Population"), Cornell 

is placed among the few institutions 

which "do not readily fit any cluster." 

This comment will hardly surprise anyone 

familiar with Cornell, which combines 

the land-grant tradition with the 

coloration of Ivy; a strong tradition of 

engineering with great strength in the 

liberal arts and sciences; the traditional 

schools of law and medicine with a range 

of specialized professional disciplines 

for undergraduates. 

In this controversial chapter on "The 

Viability of the American College," Reisman 

and Jencks pursue the parallel between 

certain strong institutions, and 

certain large corporations, emphasizing 

the manner in which each type of organization 

not only leads the field by strength 

of influence but by the very size of 

budget: 

It is even tempting to make specific analogies 

between the private monoliths (Chicago, 

Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Pennsylvania, 

and Stanford) and the older centers of commerce, 

or to compare the public super-states 

(Berkeley, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, 

Texas, UCLA, Wisconsin) to newer 

industrial complexes. These institutions produce 

the most influential PhDs in most of the 

research and they have most of the "surplus" 

money that can be directed into experimentation 

and luxury. 

Just what the authors mean by "luxury" 

is hard to say. It would be interesting 

also to find how much "surplus" 

could really be found. Anyone is certain 

to be shocked at even a quick glance at 

the economic prospects for any one of 

these institutions over the next ten years. 

The future strength or even good 

health of .these institutions is of course 

partly a matter of internal decision, but 

it is also in great part a sheer matter of 

economics. The total investment in education 

is still too small in proportion to 

the total national income. 

Obviously, certain economies are possible 

in education as in everything else, 

but even the richest colleges are none too 

rich and their surplus capital is so small 

and so short-term as to frighten the wits 

out of the normal businessman. 

There is a certain aspect of mystery 

about any collegiate institution, how 

anything so self-contradictory can in fact 

appear to thrive so well. At Cornell this 

mystery is compounded. Undercapitalized, 

understaffed, almost overdiverse, it 

defies the laws of economics and of human 

organization. The strength of each 

unit of the institution is based on strength 

of leadership within each college and 

each department. 

This historical fact is now glorified by 

some people as Cornell's main guarantee 

for the future; others contend that the 

pendulum must begin to swing the other 

way, lest extreme decentralization prove 

ultimately as great a danger as extreme 

centralization is feared to be. 

When the reader turns to the section 

on "The American College Student," 

and then contemplates Cornell once 

more, he sees the mixtures of extremes. 

Some Cornellians are as Ivy-clad as anything 

at Harvard, Yale, or Princeton 

(sometimes enviously regarded as the 

Unholy Trinity) or as un-Ivy as the student 

at North Fork State College. Thus, 

Cornell is more truly cosmopolitan than 

almost any other institution to be found 

in the entire nation. 

How general an education? 

Here, Cornell has a great advantage 

with an accompanying hazard. The 

greatest service of any institution is the 

stimulation of a student to set high goals 

for himself especially as the student is led 

away from his natural short-term vocational 

concerns into certain elements 

of history, philosophy, science, and literature. 

Even the least complex institutions 

have enough trouble leading students 

into these subjects. From the nature of its 

history and organization, Cornell has a 

very large problem indeed and the next 

significant advance at Cornell will come 

when the way is found for easier exchange 

between the various colleges of 

the university. 

Certain steps in this direction are already 

being planned. How far Cornell 

can go on this line, however, involves 

the answer to another question: 

13

whether the separate undergraduate 

colleges of Cornell can establish more 

nearly common goals educationally. 

Even the Arts college is accused of being 

largely "vocational" in that its interest 

is alleged to be centered to the production 

of scholars and teachers and research 

specialists. 

Thus, the claim goes that really nobody 

is interested in general education, 

at least no one college more than another 

and no one student more than 

another. The needed improvement will 

not come so much from reorganization 

as in closer agreement on goals for students 

as persons. To do this may also 

in the end produce better engineers, 

architects, or linguists. 

Teachers as magicians 

The section on the college teacher will 

fascinate many a reader, especially the 

chapter by Adelson on "The Teacher as 

a Model." As a type the task-master 

wins, hands down. But the characterization 

of three main types of teachers by 

comparison with types of magicians will 

both amuse and arrest the reflective 

alumnus, as he recalls the showmen, the 

bleeding hearts, and the tyrants he has 

known. 

Another aspect of the new crisis in 

education is explained in the chapter on 

"The Changing Functions of the College 

Professor" by Robert Knapp. Now that 

the college professor (except perhaps in 

the humanities) is a public figure, sought 

as consultant by government or business 

or both, he has a new and sometimes 

disturbing element of choice. 

In earlier days, the long-term faculty 

member tended to identify himself closely 

with his college. Today, however, the 

campus is but the center of orbit for the 

traveling expert—and not such a fixed 

center at that. The professor is likely to 

show first loyalty to his subject-field; the 

particular campus is but a secondary 

concern. 

With the increasing shortage of manpower 

in almost every field, raids and 

counter-raids of faculty have given the 

teacher a new bargaining power and a 

somewhat improved economic status. 

Recent improvements in professional 

salaries at Cornell still leave Cornell 

sixth or seventh behind the leading 

private institutions and in about the 

same position of competition with the 

leading public institutions. 

Since money alone will never suffice 

to hold a distinguished faculty, Cornell 

is fortunate to offer two other prime attractions—a 

vital academic fellowship 

and a sound combination of teaching and 

research. Even so, the economic factor 

must improve even more rapidly if the 

standing of this university is to be maintained. 

But one more thing about the student: 

with the American college so clearly 

providing one of the first requirements 

14 

for individual success, social or economic, 

and with the upsurge of technology, no 

wonder we are all but swamped with 

enrollments. 

Even so, two disturbing factors continually 

prick the self-esteem of educators: 

the high percentage of qualified 

students who choose not to go to college, 

and the percentage of those once in college 

who do not finish. In neither case 

is economics the dominant problem. As 

Cornell's Vice President John Summerskill 

demonstrates, the central problem 

is one of motivation. 

However we may boast of accomplishments 

in American education, we need 

to acknowledge that we know too little 

about motivation. We recognize it when 

we see it; we know when it is missing; 

but what turns the curve up or down is 

beyond prediction. 

Disturbing to me is the thought that 

motivation seems highest in the face of 

stern demands and lowest when freedom 

of choice and opportunity for self-direction 

are the most prevalent. In this factor 

is a deluding invitation to tryants, 

political or intellectual, and a source of 

dismay to those who believe in the responsibility 

of the individual for his own 

development. 

While we ponder this problem, the 

attention of the world is divided Between 

the claims of Russia and the claims of 

the West. The rise of Russian power has 

created a new and bewildering challenge 

not only to the power of the United 

States but to its system of education in 

particular. We did not think it possible 

for the Russians to organize and execute. 

Only fifteen years ago I was assured 

by one of the greatest industrialists and 

philanthropists of America that Russia 

simply could not do the things then 

prophesied by their leaders. They have 

not the manpower, said he, nor the technology, 

nor the factories. They have not 

the foundation of skills and experience in 

productivity which made possible the 

great expansion of the American economy. 

A careful look 

So much for prophecy. It should not 

be true that Russia, with its primitive 

economy and medieval organization, 

should have accomplished what she has. 

Confronted with the fact of Russian 

power, educational and political leaders 

in America have been unexpectedly 

caught in a race. 

The reaction has been both to whip 

the horses a little harder and to wonder 

whether we had better look for new 

horses. We reject the straight-jacket form 

of Russian education, but wonder 

whether our system is quite up to the 

job. We then nnd that we have not understood 

our own system well enough 

nor have supported it well enough. 

Reason enough, then, with the future 

of representative government clearly at 

stake, to pause for careful thought about 

education itself. The American College is 

a good basic text, concluding with a 

comprehensive summary of researches 

yet to be done. 

The issue for Cornell at the beginning 

of her second century is rather clear: can 

the courage and wisdom be found to 

energize the university for the future decades? 

A pioneering tradition is no 

guarantee for a pioneering spirit. 

As everyone well understands who has 

studied institutions, the creative spirit 

is not easily sustained. Not only do individuals 

become increasingly selfcentered 

in interest, but the mood of the 

institution is dominated by problems of 

self-maintenance. Normal human inertia 

presents hazard enough, but the college is 

made up of people whose value largely 

lies in independence of spirit, quickness 

of mind, and sharpness of critical judgment. 

Hence, innovation is all the more 

difficult. 

Study, then strength 

Cornell is fortunate in having so many 

people willing to devote themselves to 

campus-wide concerns. This responsiveness 

has made possible the wide range 

of internal studies which in the years 

immediately ahead will provide a basis 

for new strengths in the program of 

Cornell not only in its separate parts but 

in its totality. 

Those who fear too rapid changes 

under the impulse of the Centennial 

year can be reassured. The problem is 

not one of too rapid change but of producing 

enough fundamental improvements 

in an orderly and timely fashion. 

When one contemplates the growth of 

enrollments in this country (now reaching 

to 4,000,000 in higher education, and 

threatening to reach twice that number 

in another decade), and when one contemplates 

the difficulty of producing 

intellectual competence and social resposibility 

in even one human being, 

one can afford a certain charity of judgment 

about the performance of any institution, 

large or small. 

On the other hand, when one contemplates 

how little is known or understood 

about the means to stimulate intellectual 

growth and personal stability, one can 

afford to encourage all who are willing 

to venture in some new direction. 

Thus, finally one is led to believe that 

the most important educational element 

is the public mood. The adult generation 

in the long run is the true educator. 

Walter Lippman makes a similar point 

about the grounds for public policy in a 

small book now some ten years old. 

While not everyone will be equally 

interested in all parts of this book on The 

American College, everyone will find 

some parts instructive. It is a major contribution 

to those who are seriously concerned 

not only with education but with 

the future of American society. 


Professor Hathaway and a creative writing seminar. —William Kroll 

FACULTY 

IF THERE IS any one course in the Arts 

curriculum of Cornell University (and 

many other universities) most likely to 

provoke a Renaissance scholar to fits 

of unmanageable indignation it is the 

"creative writing" course (seven are offered 

as electives by Cornell's Department 

of English), a weekly bout with 

the creative muse which has been described 

by one of its critics as "an opportunity 

for people who can't write to persuade 

their friends they can't either." 

In many respects, however, creative 

writing courses suffer the same obloquy 

and reap the same rewards as their 

progeny, the writers themselves. Idiosyncrasies 

which are judged to be "affected" 

in the budding author become 

"iconoclastic" in the popular novelist; 

the beard, which suggests adolescent degeneracy 

on the chin of the unpublished, 

becomes a mark of distinction on the 

lower jaw of a Pulitizer Prize winner. 

Similarly, writing courses which produce 

great writers (viz., the Geurard 

course at Harvard, and its counterpart 

at Princeton) are universally acknowledged 

to have been privileged enclaves 

for those fortunate enough to gain admittance, 

while writing courses whose 

alumni have yet to distinguish themselves 

are regarded less highly. 

At Cornell, creative writing has had 

many talented practicioners, but only 

within the past fifteen years has the creative 

writing program been organized 

on a systematic and enthusiastic basis. 

While its product has yet to meet the 

April 1962 

7: 

Baxter Hathaway 

He doesn't teach; his students learn 

standard set by the Ivy League writing 

courses which produced T. S. Eliot, 

Scott Fitzgerald, and heaven knows how 

many other distinguished American 

writers, the Cornell program has established 

this university as one of the most 

vital centers of literary activity in any 

American university. 

The man largely responsible for the 

development of Cornell's creative writing 

program is Professor Baxter Hathaway, 

who was brought to the University 

in 1946 for precisely that purpose. Hathaway, 

a novelist, poet, critic, and, ironically, 

a Renaissance scholar of some distinction, 

succeeded in transforming 

what had for years been a curricular 

afterthought into one of the most popular 

"majors" in the College of Arts and 

Sciences, and earned the affection and 

respect of literally hundreds of young 

writers (some published and some not) 

in the process. 

Although Cornell's best-known literary 

alumni are probably E. B. White '21 

of the New Yorker, the late Kenneth 

Roberts '08, Morris Bishop '14, and 

the late Henrik Van Loon '05, the years 

since 1946 have produced not a few 

younger writers whose ultimate popular 

or critical success is yet to be established. 

Perhaps the most widely respected of 

these is Edgar Rosenberg '49, a Stanford 

fellow after graduation from Cornell 

and author of one major critical work as 

well as countless articles in Commentary 

and other periodicals. Rosenberg now 

teaches writing at Harvard University. 

Another former Hathaway student 

who has continued the teaching tradition 

is Clay Putman, '52, author of The 

Ruined City, a novel, and a faculty 

member at San Francisco State College. 

At least three recent graduates of the 

Cornell writing program devoted their 

initial published work to recollections of 

their experiences at Cornell. The three: 

Charles T. Thompson '51 {Halfway 

Down the Stairs), Clifford Irving '51 

(The Darkling Plain), and Robert Gutwillig 

'54 (After Long Silence). Irving 

has published two subsequent novels, 

and Gutwillig, an editor at McGraw- 

Hill, has a second published novel to his 

credit. 

The list of young Cornell writers also 

includes Thomas Pynchon '59, whose 

forthcoming novel was mentioned in last 

month's ALUMNI NEWS; Ann Aikman 

'49, B. H. Friedman '48, William Mulvihill 

'45 (three published novels), Donald 

Plantz '45, Jan Wahl '53, and Robert 

V. Williams '48. 

In addition, several former Hathaway 

students have published short stories and 

poetry in "the little magazines" (as well 

as some of the big ones). Among these 

are Faye Riter, AM '51, Stanley Sultan 

'49, Richard Farina '59, Pynchon, and 

many, many others. 

All told, at least fifteen novels are 

known to have been published by recent 

Cornell graduates within the past fifteen 

years, as well as fifty or more short stories 

and many more poems. 

Although Hathaway would be the last 

15

to claim credit for this outpouring of 

literary activity, it is doubtful that the 

postwar plethora of novelists, poets, and 

short story writers from Cornell was a 

consequence, simply, of native ingenuity 

and the creative instinct. 

For Hathaway, the argument that 

"you can't teach creative writing" is a 

misconception of the issue. "It is a false 

line of operation," he says, "to suppose 

that you can teach anything. Schools 

don't exist in order to flatter the egos of 

instructors. They exist so that students 

can learn things." 

To "teach," for Hathaway, is to "set 

up proper conditions for learning," and 

one of those conditions is the opportunity 

each student ought to have to develop 

himself and his capacity for intellectual 

maturity rather than a set of 

standardized responses to matter which 

becomes, as a result, non-intellectual. 

In courses where the subject matter is 

cut and dried, says Hathaway, (C 

teaching 

becomes more important than learning,' 3 

because mastery of the given material 

does not require intellectualization, and 

rote responses assure an orderly educational 

process. 

For the writer, however, in Hathaway's 

view, the writing course "is a world 

of becoming, rather than a world of being." 

The writer cannot be taught things 

which of necessity he must learn. The 

function of the creative writing instructor, 

for Hathaway, is "to create a 

Cornell, one of the many Cornells, that 

is an adequate, sunny, friendly climate 

for the modern American as writer, not 

as scientist, engineer, not necessarily as 

practical man, but as the full representative 

of our culture." 

An athlete, too 

Hathaway was born in Cincinnati, 

Ohio, raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan. 

In high school, as in college (Kalamazoo 

College, BA 1935) Hathaway was 

better known for his athletic prowess 

than his literary abilities, though the latter 

won him his college's Farley Prize in 

English literature during his senior year. 

As a high school senior Hathaway 

pole-vaulted 12 feet, 4 inches to set the 

Kalamazoo High School record which 

still stands, and a state high school record 

which remained unchallenged for a 

number of years. In addition, his vaulting 

won him second place in national 

high school competition and placed him 

only fifteen inches under the existing 

world record. At Kalamazoo College he 

captained the freshman track team and 

won five varsity letters, but never improved 

upon his halcyon leap of 1927. 

In 1935, after graduation from college, 

Hathaway moved on to the University 

of Michigan for graduate work 

and won, in 1936, Hopwόod prizes 

worth $1,500 in both poetry and fiction. 

In 1937 Macmillan published his first 

novel, The Stubborn Way, and in 1940^ 

16 

PhD in hand, Hathaway took on his 

first full-time teaching job at the University 

of Montana. 

In 1946 the Cornell English department, 

backed by Cornells W. de Kiewiet, 

then dean of the Arts college, 

invited Hathaway to take over the development 

if not resuscitation of the university's 

creative writing program. 

Among Hathaway's first projects were 

the expansion of the creative writing 

curriculum (its present form: three, 

six-hour two-semester sequences, and 

periodic seminars in special forms of 

poetry) and the establishment of a faculty-edited 

literary magazine, designed 

for a national audience and as a means 

of creating, at Cornell, a focus for literary 

activity of all kinds. 

Two successes 

In both projects Hathaway was phenomenally 

successful. The creative writing 

program attracted as many as fortyeight 

majors in one post-war year, more 

in all but a few of the categories available 

for major study at the time, and 

the magazine, Epoch, quickly established 

itself as one of America's most prestigious 

"little magazines," a position it 

holds to this day. 

Dedicated to the publication of original 

(and often experimental) work by 

authors who may or may not be wellknown 

to the reading public, Epoch was 

among the first American publications 

to give an audience to such writers as 

e. e. cummings, R. V. Cassill, Hollis 

Summers, James Hall, Peter Viereck, 

Sheridan Baker, Oakley Hall, Harvey 

Shapiro, Nolan Miller, Ray Bradbury, 

George P. Elliott, and many others. 

The writing program at Cornell has 

attracted to the faculty, among others, 

DeWitt Snodgrass, 1960 Pulitzer Prize 

winner for poetry; Bill Dickey, 1959 

Yale Younger Poets prize-winner; Carl 

Hartman, Grad '55-56; George P. Elliott; 

James McConkey (now associate 

professor of English at Cornell) David 

Ray, former editor of the Chicago Review 

and a widely-published poet and 

critic; and many others. 

In addition to these various projects, 

Hathaway edited (in one case with the 

help of John A. Sessions) two volumes 

of an anthology he called Writers for 

Tomorrow, a collection of the best work 

produced in the upperclass writing seminars 

during the year or years just previous 

to publication. 

The first volume of Writers for Tomorrow, 

published in 1948, included 

stories by at least three Cornellians 

whose subsequent publications have 

been noted, Ann Aikman, Donald 

Plantz, and Robert V. Williams. The 

second edition, published in 1952, included 

the work of Faye Riter, Edgar 

Rosenberg, Cliff Irving, B. H. Friedman, 

Stanley Sultan, and many others. 

By no means commercial successes, 

both volumes of Writers for Tomorrow 

were nevertheless reprinted in English 

editions, and were clearly not far off the 

mark in predicting vocations for many 

of their contributors. 

Though Hathaway has been publishing 

his poetry in various magazines since 

1927, The Stubborn Way was his last 

published work of fiction. He has, however, 

authored or edited a number of 

texts: Readings for an Air Age, with 

H. G. Merriam and John Moore (Macmillan, 

1943), a text used in Air Force 

English classes of the ASTP during 

World War II; The Exposition of Ideas,, 

with John Moore (D. C. Heath, 1948), 

a freshman English reader; and Writing 

Mature Prose (Ronald Press, 1952), a 

rhetoric and experimental grammar. 

Hathaway's scholarly works includes 

Dramatic Essays of the Neoclassic Age,, 

with H. H. Adams (Columbia University 

Press, 1951) his most recent work, 

The Age of Criticism, The Late Renaissance 

in Italy, (Cornell University Press, 

1962) and a number of critical articles 

in several publications. 

He has been a fellow of the Fund for 

the Advancement of Education (1951) 

and a Fulbright lecturer in Italy (1957- 

59) at the Universities of Padua and 

Venice. 

Under Hathaway's direction, the 

Cornell creative writing program has unquestionably 

made its mark. Though its 

fundamental worth will always be defended 

by its supporters, its popular 

reputation belongs, essentially, to the 

future. —CMC 

WITH THE PROFESSORS: 

Dr. George N. Papanicolau, clinical 

anatomy emeritus, at the Medical College, 

died of a heart attack, February 19 in Miami, 

Florida. He was well known for his 

Pap smear test for the early detection of 

uterine cancer. A native of Greece, he received 

the MD from the University of 

Athens in 1904, and the PhD from the University 

of Munich in 1910. He joined the 

pathology department of the New York 

Hospital in 1913. Although he retired in 

1951, he continued to be active at the college 

until recently when he left to direct 

the newly-organized Papanicolau Cancer 

Institute of Miami. Mrs. Papanicolau survives 

him. (Also see page 2.) 

Dr. Harold G. Wolff, the Anne Parish 

Titzell professor of medicine at the Medical 

College, and director of the Neurological 

Service of the New York Hospital, died 

February 21. A specialist on headaches, he 

was the author of more than 500 scientific 

papers and fourteen books in the field of 

neurology. He joined the New York Hospital-Cornell 

Medical Center in 1932 after 

a year of study in Europe with the late Ivan 

Pavlov, Russian Nobel Prize winner, who 

pioneered in the field of conditioned reflex. 


He is survived by his wife, the painter Isabel 

Bishop, and a son. 

Professor James Campbell, PhD '49, director 

of the I&LR Office of Resident 

Instruction, died March 8 at Tompkins 

County Hospital. A native of Ireland and 

graduate of Wittenberg College, he had 

served on several university committees 

and was promoted to his post as director 

at the first of the year. Survivors include 

his wife and one son. 

During a year's leave from the university, 

Professor Franklin A. Long, chemistry, 

will be assistant director of the Bureau 

of Science and Technology for the US 

Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. 

Formerly a member of the President's Science 

Advisory Committee, he has served 

as consultant to the Ballistic Research Laboratories, 

the National Defense Research 

Commission, and the Science Advisory 

Board of the Army Chief of Staff. Professor 

Long joined the faculty in 1937 and was 

chairman of the chemistry department 

from 1950-60. 

Professor David Bierhorst, botany, will 

spend two months in Fiji and New Caledonia 

collecting plant specimens for research. 

The January issue of Scientific American 

has an article by Professor William C. Dilger 

'46, assistant director of the Laboratory 

of Ornithology. Subject is the behavior of 

love birds. 

Electron micrographs taken by Dr. 

George B. Chapman, anatomy, Medical 

College, have appeared in two major scientific 

publications and on the jacket of a 

newly published book. The publications are 

Science for December 15, and Scientific 

American for September, 1961. The book is 

The Biology of Hydra and of Some Other 

Coelenterates, by Lenhoff and Loomis. 

Mrs. Robert F. Chamberlain (Mabelle 

Sandwick), Sp Ag '12-13 died in Winter 

Park, Florida., February 16, 1962. She was 

the wife of Professor Robert F. Chamberlain 

'08, electrical engineering, emeritus, 

and the mother of several Cornellians (also 

see Necrology). 

Professor William I. Myers '14, farm finance, 

emeritus, former dean of Agriculture, 

has received the distinguished service 

award from the American Agricultural Editors 

Association. 

Newly-elected president of the Crop Science 

Society of America is Professor R. P. 

Murphy, head, plant breeding. 

Professor Morris E. Opler, sociology and 

anthropology, has been named presidentelect 

of the American Anthropological Association 

for the coming year and will take 

office as president for 1962-63. 

The Atomic Energy Commission has appointed 

Professor John P. Howe, engineering 

physics, to a four-year term as a member 

of its advisory committee on reactor 

safeguards. 

Professor John I. Miller, PhD '36, animal 

husbandry, has been elected president 

of the National Block and Bridle Club for 

a two-year term. 

April 1962 

IN THE SUMMER of 1961 the happy announcement 

was made that Cornell's 

scattered holdings in the history of science, 

substantial and important since the 

days of Andrew Dickson White, would be 

reorganized and expanded and would be 

housed in a special section of the Olin 

Library. 

Room 215, in the northeast corner, has 

now been conveniently and elegantly 

converted to this purpose, and there is 

every reason to believe that with the support 

of loyal Cornellians the collections 

will redound increasingly each year to 

the credit of the university and its libraries. 

This is a pioneering effort in the library 

world. It was brought about by a 

realization that science as we know it 

today has evolved slowly and gradually 

from earlier concepts, and that the scientist 

who ignores history will approach 

his science with perspective distorted. 

The influence of the past is profound 

upon all our thinking today. 

Pioneering continued 

Science in its various fields has now 

an importance far beyond what it 

possessed in even the last few decades, 

and the university, which pioneered 

with courses in the history of science, accordingly 

has accepted the challenge of 

providing in working units the books 

which document those fields. 

These books, dating from the fifteenth 

to the twentieth century, will record 

epochal achievements in the history of 

science, or furnish the less glittering material 

which was published between the 

epochal achievements, or assist the his-

torian with bibliographies and the other 

tools of his trade. 

The range in the fields of science must 

be very broad, encompassing the physical 

sciences, the earth sciences, the biological 

sciences, and the medical sciences. The 

goal is to have in physics, for example, a 

substantial, rounded, cohesive working 

unit for the entire history of that science. 

Some of the books will be rare, some not; 

the effort must always be to obtain 

genuine documents of human knowledge. 

A pulling-together 

Such an undertaking, covering every 

field of science, requires time, enthusiasm, 

and loyalty. The university's present 

holdings, now scattered, must be pulled 

together. On them we must build, stressing 

first what is already strong and expanding 

as opportunity and circumstances 

permit. Tire collections will have 

the advantage of being an integral part 

of an academic commonwealth scholars 

who use them will find the sciences juxtaposed 

in this laboratory-within-a-library 

and will also have at their command the 

rich general resources of the Olin Research 

Library. 

It is hoped the core of the collections 

can be ready when the X International 

Congress of the History of Sciences convenes 

on the campus on August 26 of this 

year, and that thereafter they will increasingly 

recall, in the words set down 

by John Selden in 1618, the "Many ages 

of former Experience and Obseruation,

STUDENTS 

Evelyn Eskin '62 

Miss Eskin and piano. —William Kroll Humor and talent in a touchy job 

STUDENT LEADERS, particularly those 

connected with fraternities and sororities, 

need a sense of humor. Pushed and 

pulled as they are by other students, faculty 

members, administration officials, 

and alumni, the students who hold offices 

often find their job a confusing 

impossibility of attempting to make 

everybody happy at the same time. 

Evelyn Eskin '62 has managed during 

her present term as president of the 

Cornell Pan-Hellenic Council to bring 

a personal warmth and humor to this 

touchy office. A spontaneous enthusiasm, 

that might be simply vacuous 

bubbling in another girl, combines in 

Evie (pronounced Ev-ee) with a quick 

wit to produce an intriguing liveliness. 

Quick, tongue-in-cheek comments that 

punctuate her conversation have become 

something of a trademark. 

Evie's own brand of humor and ability 

to get along with people was needed 

when she took office last spring in the 

midst of a campus debate over discrimination. 

A Commission on Discrimination 

had been established to inquire into 

the restrictions on membership selection 

practices of fraternities and sororities. 

Sororities, though, were forbidden by a 

National Pan-Hel agreement to answer 

inquiries until the questions had been 

approved by the National Pan-Hel. 

"There wasn't much we could say," 

Evie comments, "because of the restrictions 

of the agreement. Although some 

National Pan-Hel officers said the agreement 

was intended to protect sororities 

from Communist infiltration, many 

questions would have been cleared up 

earlier if we had been free to answer 

questions concerning our selection and 

appeals system." 

On the issue of membership selection, 

Evie herself believes that "private or- 

18 

ganizations ought to be able to establish 

their own membership criteria. After all, 

they're going to be living with the new 

members. But prospective members 

ought to be aware of those criteria." 

When not guiding the destinies of 

Cornell Pan-Hel, Evie has devoted 

much time to her studies. She has an average 

close to 86 as an economics major. 

Although she came to Cornell intending 

to major in math, she found economics 

offered more of what she wanted. A 

basic economics course with Professor 

Alfred E. Kahn, now her adviser, fully 

convinced her, and she has had no regrets 

since. 

Interested now mainly in investment 

economics, she recently spent two days 

in New York job-seeking, visited "more 

banks and investment houses than I'll 

probably see again in two years." At 

one firm, she says, things seemed a little 

too formal, so she walked up to one girl 

at a desk and asked her what her job 

was. They spent a half hour talking and 

now exchange letters. 

But many persons on campus who appreciate 

her scholastic abilities fail to 

realize that Evie is an accomplished 

and talented pianist as well. Her interest 

in piano began at a rather tender 

age: "I started to pick out tunes on the 

piano when I was 4," Evie recalls. 

"Mother didn't want me to be misdirected, 

so I started in with piano lessons, 

twice a week at first, then once a 

week when I entered school." 

As her musical interests continued, 

properly directed, she spent three summers 

at the summer programs at Tanglewood 

in Massachusetts. In high school 

she sang with the All-State chorus and 

gave at piano performance in New -York's 

Town Hall as first prize for winning a 

Music Education Week contest. In her 

last years in high school, her command 

of the piano had improved so that she 

became pupil-turned-teacher, earning 

spending money by giving piano lessons. 

Evie has managed to further her interest 

in music at Cornell, performing 

regularly with student recital groups 

and giving lessons during the academic 

year. She has also been called on to serve 

as accompanist for musical theater productions 

and has sung with the Sage 

Chapel Choir. 

Straying from the keyboard, she has 

taken an active interest in the Freshman 

Orientation Program, serving as a counselor 

her sophomore year and a director 

of Orientation for the past two years. 

She is most enthusiastic about the test 

groups she worked with last year. Shunning 

picnics, outdoor singing and revival-type 

meetings, the group concentrated 

instead on visiting a number of 

faculty homes. 

Although enthusiastic about the results 

of the program, Evie admits its 

success may have been determined by 

the high quality of the freshmen who 

took part. But she believes the pilot plan 

ought to be extended to the whole of 

orientation next year: "After all, students 

come here to study. They shouldn't 

have to be taught how to go on picnics." 

Despite all she has done at Cornell, 

Evie is still not entirely sure just why she 

decided to come here in the first place. 

"There isn't a Cornellian in my family, 

and not one alumnus came near me 

when I was filling out the application. 

It was the only coed school that I applied 

to, and I didn't want to go to a city 

college. So here I am." 

Her freshman year she describes now 

as "thoroughly enjoyable," although 

she did feel somewhat left out at one 

time when she missed the attentions of 


the usual fraternity set. "Then I went 

to my first freshman tea," she recalls. "It 

was my last. I never felt left out again." 

Evie's attitude toward freshman teas 

is perhaps indicative of her feelings 

toward Cornell social life in general. She 

looks with some resentment at an attitude 

she sees prevalent at Cornell that 

a party is not a good party unless it involves 

a "twisting-type atmosphere." 

"The best parties we had at the [sorority] 

house were smooth parties/' Evie 

says, "and I don't think anyone experienced 

any traumatic feelings at them. 

But most students here don't believe 

that a quiet party can be good." 

Her reservations about Cornell's social 

life, though, did not prevent Evie from 

joining a sorority her freshman year. 

Now an active member of Sigma Delta 

Tau, her reasons for joining the house 

are uncomplex: "There isn't much 

worth connected with the prestige a 

house can offer. So a house has prestige: 

but you can't talk with it at night after 

classes," she says. "I wanted most of all 

to find a group of girls I could live with. 

The three years here have been good." 

Her interest in people, manifested in 

nearly everything Evie does or likes, 

provides a key to what she believes is 

most valuable at Cornell. Evie, like 

many students, believes the greatest 

benefit of her four years on the Hill has 

been in knowing and working with a 

large number of faculty members. 

She tells the story—a direct antithesis 

to her own—of a graduating sorority 

sister who was shocked into a realization 

of what she had missed when not one 

faculty member knew her well enough 

to inquire about her future plans. 

"It was kind of tragic," Evie says. 

"She didn't find out until too late what 

her professors could have meant. Because 

in a sense, you know, they are 

Cornell." —DSL 

Downtown Fire 

ONE of Ithaca's worst fires in recent 

year removed a well-known haberdashery 

from the scene on Saturday night, 

Feb. 22. The four-story building that 

housed The Sport Shop was gutted by a 

fire of undetermined origin. 

The building was owned by Mrs. R. C. 

Osborn (Agda Swenson) '20. The job of 

fighting the blaze was directed by the 

city's able fire chief, Charles M. Weaver 

'40. 

Two freshmen were heroes of sorts in 

the icy task of keeping the flames from 

nearby buildings. Kenneth J. Williams 

and Christopher L. Russo were commandeered 

into holding a hose atop the Ithaca 

Hotel about 4 a.m. Sunday, to relieve 

exhausted firemen. They were discovered 

several hours later, still at their 

posts and mighty cold. 

April 1962 

A BURST of early-term activity by student 

leaders has put four major proposals 

before the campus community. 

The University Faculty has received 

from Student Government a request for 

a four-day study period preceding final 

exams each spring term, and a five-day 

period each fall term. The Faculty 

Council is also considering a Code of 

Academic Integrity, voted unanimously 

by the Executive Board of Student Government 

in late February. 

The academic code was altered by 

the students in final discussions, to delete 

a provision that would have required 

students to report to a professor any 

academic dishonesty they observe. 

Women's Student Government Association 

voted in mid-March to end 

curfews for seniors in Balch next year. 

The month before the university had 

opened twenty units in Hasbrouck 

Apartments to sixty senior women, and 

these would also be without curfew. 

Earlier student agitation for an end 

to senior curfews brought a letter to the 

Sun from Professor Robert D. Sweet, 

PhD '40, vegetable crops, who said he 

had discovered during the Sun's reporting 

of the debate: 

. . . that one important reason senior women 

should not have a curfew is "they could 

use the time for study . . . and for conversation 

with professors." 

All these years I have been under the impression 

that my lack of study and conversations 

with senior women might have something 

to do with lack of appeal of my subject 

matter specialty, and (perish the 

thought) possibly to the lack of appeal of an 

aging professor to this particular group of 

students. Now, however, the truth has finally 

been found and believe me it is truly comforting 

to realize that this void in my life 

actually has been brought about by an archaic 

university rule. 

Young ladies, my I make a request? If 

you plan to take advantage of this opportunity 

for conversation with me when there 

is no longer a curfew, would you please be 

prepared to flash your ID card together with 

a signed statement from my wife? 

More Pledges Again 

Fraternities and sororities this year 

improved on the number of pledges 

garnered during the formal and informal 

rushing during the last two years. 

Fraternities pledged 74 per cent of the 

eligible freshmen, 63 per cent of the 

class—1,048 in all. Last year 1,025 were 

Four Big Proposals 

Senior curfew ban and study plans are new 

pledged; the year before, 1,001. Sororities 

pledged 247 freshmen and 63 

upperclass women in formal rushing and 

three others in informal rushing, for a 

total of 313. Last year 285 were pledged, 

and in 1960, 308. 

The total pledged by each house was:

the Office of University Relations. Tours 

will leave Willard Straight Hall at 2 

p.m. weekdays, and 11 a.m. on Sundays. 

Fraternities helped the City of Ithaca 

finish up a housing survey last month, 

part of its urban renewal program. 

The first dormitory reference library 

and music room on campus have been 

started in Donlon Hall. Contributions 

have come from Judge Mary H. Donlon 

'20, Mrs. Charles R. Cooley (Carolyn 

Slater) '23, Marjorie Rice '29, 

other individual alumni, and the Cornell 

Women's Clubs of Akron, Boston, 

Chicago, Cincinnati, Hartford, Ithaca,

ON CAMPUS 

A New Basic Program 

Engineering curriculum changes complete 

SOPHOMORE COURSES in the College of 

Engineering have now been recast to 

complete the creation of a two-year Division 

of Basic Studies in the college. 

The number of courses a student takes 

each term has been reduced to five. The 

scope of mathematics courses has been 

expanded^ and the chemistry sequence 

has been changed, with new ChemE 

and MetE courses and with the courses 

for other engineers providing a base for 

more advanced materials science work 

in upperclass years. 

Physics has been modified, and more 

advanced mechanics and electrial science 

courses introduced for sophomores. 

A completely new freshman course, "Engineering 

Problems and Methods," is 

being taught by Professor William H. 

Erickson, assistant director of electrical 

engineering. Senior faculty members 

take the recitation sections, and students 

face subtle engineering problems likely 

to give them an early feel of the nature 

of their profession. 

No one is ready to swear by it yet, but 

the first class to enter the new division 

—the present freshmen—show a much 

lower record of course failures than 

have previous classes. 

Still Nuclear 

The faculty series on nuclear peril 

continues, with a battery of distinguished 

speakers, one every week or so. Professor 

Seymour Melman of Columbia discussed 

"The Economics of Armament 

and Disarmament" on February 27; 

the physicist and mathematician Herman 

Kahn discussed "Deterrence and 

Defense in the Late '60s and Early 70s" 

on March 2; and Professor Louis B. 

Sohn of Harvard spoke on "Disarmament 

Is Not Enough" on March 16. 

Dean John Coleman Bennett of Union 

Theological Seminary was due to speak 

March 21 on "Nuclear Weapons and 

the Conflict of Conscience." 

The Cornell Daily Sun published a 

special reading list and a selection of 

writings on nuclear subjects, as part of 

the series. 

On the research side of the field, the 

22 

university's Triga reactor is now in operation, 

as is an "inverted scintillation 

counter" which can measure the amount 

of radiation in an entire human body. 

Busy Summer Ahead 

Registration is now being taken for 

the seventy-first Summer School, which 

will be held June 27 through August 10. 

The school will speed up the trend to 

advanced placement of freshmen when 

it launches new programs this summer 

for college-bound high school juniors 

and seniors. Top-rated juniors will have 

a choice of courses in bacteriology, 

botany, chemistry, mathematics, zoology, 

French, German, or Russian. 

Industrial Engineering Seminars will 

be held on campus June 12-15 by the 

College of Engineering, and the Graduate 

School of Business and Public Administration 

will conduct its Executive 

Development Program from June 18 to 

July 27. 

The Passing Scene 

The alert, 75-year-old "godmother of 

a generation of American composers" 

lectured and conducted a concert on 

campus during the first week in March. 

Mile. Nadia Boulanger of France visited 

Cornell among many Northeastern 

schools, as part of a continuing effort 

to help young musicians and keep alive 

the music of her talented younger sister, 

Lili, and other French composers. 

She lectured on Debussy, and conducted 

the Symphony Orchestra, Glee 

Club and Chorus in a Bailey Hall concert 

on March 8. Professors Karel Husa 

and John Kirkpatrick have been students 

of hers. 

The textile industrialist and philanthropist 

Israel Rogosin has contributed 

$1,000,000 to the Fund for Medical 

Progress of the New York Hospital-Cornell 

Medical Center, bringing the drive 

total to date to $25,000,000. 

A poll of 35,pOO National Merit 

Scholarship finalists showed Cornell 

seventh most popular university among 

male secondary school pupils, and third 

among women. Top choices for college 

among boys were, in order: Harvard, 

MIT, Stanford, Cal Tech, Yale, California, 

Cornell, Princeton, Columbia, 

Rice; and for women: Stanford, Radcliffe, 

Cornell, Wellesley, California, 

Michigan, Duke, Smith, Barnard, and 

Oberlin. 

A state Supreme Court justice has 

denied a former student's effort in court 

to win reentry into the university. Allan 

Hearne '62 sought to upset a one-term 

suspension for his part in the showing 

of obscene films in a fraternity house 

last term. The justice said "every consideration 

consonant with fair play" had 

been given Hearne. 

WITH THE STAFF 

Former US Senator Irving M. Ives, first 

dean of the School of Industrial and Labor 

Relations, died February 24 in Norwich. 

He was a former GOP majority leader in 

the State Assembly, was author and sponsor 

in 1944 of the legislation that set up the 

ILR school, and became a university trustee 

in 1944, He served as ILR dean from 

1945 until his election to the Senate the 

next year. In the Senate, Ives was known 

primarily for work in the labor relations 

field. In 1954 he was an unsuccessful candidate 

for governor. The largest new building 

of the ILR school wall be named for 

him. He is survived by his wife, and by a 

son, George S., LLB '49. 

Mrs. Gertrude S. Martin, PhD '00, first 

adviser of women at the university, 1909— 

16, died February 2, in Sarasota, where she 

had lived since 1932. She was the widow of 

Professor Clarence A. Martin '88, dean of 

Architecture from 1908-19. Before her 

marriage, Mrs. Martin taught at Ithaca 

High School. She left the university to become 

the first executive secretary of the 

American Association of University Women, 

and served as secretary of the Women's 

Foundation for Health. (See Necrology.) 

The Very Rev. Msgr. Donald M. Cleary, 

Grad '38-39, former Catholic chaplain at 

the university, has been appointed interim 

associate director of Cornell United Religious 

Work, on a part-time basis. Included 

in his duties will be responsibility 

for the Ecumenical Study Program and the 

Campus Conference on Religion. 

Trustee Donald McMaster '16 was honored 

by the Cornell Club of Rochester on 

February 23, with a dinner dance. He was 

presented an album that listed his achievements, 

and expressed the admiration of his 

fellow club members. Letters were also read 

from leading alumni and from the Class 

of 1916. 

Dr. John E. Deitrick, dean of the Medical 

College, has been chosen president-elect 

of the Association of American Medical 

Colleges.

ATHLETICS 

Whence the Ivy? 

Being an unsimple tale 

BY ROBERT J. KANE '34 

PAGE 9 of the March issue of the Cornell 

Daily Sun was entirely covered with a 

story entitled "Ivy League: What Does 

It Mean?" written by Miss Nancy L. 

Dunhoff '64. 

The young lady makes a point in a 

breezy, undergraduate way which has 

intrigued me for some time. 

Athletics, [she writes] not academics 

brought Cornell into the Ivy League. Soon 

after its founding—almost one hundred years 

after other Ivy schools were in existence—the 

university began competing with Harvard 

and Yale in crew. Competition burgeoned. 

Football and other sports were added. 

In a manner of speaking, quite true, 

Miss Dunhoff,, but it wasn't that easy. 

By no means. 

Cornell did meet Harvard and Yale 

in rowing soon after its founding, in fact 

five years after the first class entered in 

1868. Meetings in football and the other 

sports came much later. With all of 

them, though, it was a desultory, sometime 

thing, except and unless leagues 

were formed. And that is the intriguing 

point we shall come to. 

In football, for instance, the first 

Cornell-Harvard game was in 1890 and 

between that time and 1954 when the 

Ivy Football League became official 

there were only eighteen meetings. The 

first Yale game was in 1889 (Yale 56, 

Cornell 6), and a second one was played 

later the same season (Yale 70, Cornell 

0). We did not meet the Elis again until 

1936. 

First rowing competition with Harvard 

and Yale (these are the only two 

Ivy colleges mentioned in Miss Dunhoff's 

article) took place on July 16, 

1873. It was in the Rowing Association 

of American Colleges Championship 

Regatta at Springfield^ Massachusetts. 

Cornell had accepted membership two 

years before that, but had not competed 

in the regatta. In support of the occasion 

President Andrew D. White personally 

bought and paid for the six-oared 

racing shell. Cornell took fourth behind 

Yale, Wesleyan, and Harvard in the 

eleven-crew race. 

Cornell emerges; the party is over 

The next year, July 18, on Lake Saratoga, 

Cornell was fifth. And then on 

July 13, 1875, at Saratoga the Red 

freshmen won Cornell's first intercollegiate 

championship. And the next day 

the varsity won the big one. There was 

no junior varsity race in those days. 

Order of varsity finish: Cornell, Columbia, 

Harvard, Dartmouth, Wesleyan, 

Yale, Amherst, Brown, Williams, Bowdoin, 

Hamilton, Union, Princeton. 

Soon thereafter Yale resigned from 

the Rowing Association of American 

Colleges. 

On July 19, 1876, at Saratoga Cornell 

took everything in sight, including a 

single sculling race, won by Charles S. 

Francis '77. Harvard was second in both 

the freshman and varsity races. 

Harvard followed Yale's lead and resigned 

from the Rowing Association. 

The New York Times 3 surprisingly 

flippant comment: "It cannot be denied 

that the remarkable and altogether 

shameless conduct of Cornell in making 

a clean sweep of everything in the Centennial 

Regatta is an excellent proof of 

the sagacity of certain colleges in retiring 

from the conflict in which apparently 

they have no chance." 

Coach, Captain, and stroke John N. 

Ostrom '76 was quoted as saying: "They 

withdrew to have their own dual union 

where victory is assured for one instead 

of probable defeat for both." 

It can be safely assumed that tart 

words such as these, and the abusive 

turgid prose in the Cornell Era did not 

endear the upstart Cornellians to the 

Ivy brethren, any more than had their 

exploits on the water. 

But, by George, when the first intercollegiate 

athletic league in this country 


was founded in 1902 its members were 

Harvard^ Yale, Princeton, Columbia, 

and Cornell. It was the Intercollegiate 

Basketball League and it played a full 

round-robin schedule in 1902-03. 

At the time Harvard was 266 years 

old; Yale, 201; Princeton, 156; Columbia, 

148; and Cornell, a coltish 37. 

This implausibly early connection established 

a consanguinity which led the 

way to our charter membership in the 

other leagues as they came along. 

Penn, founded in 1740, was voted 

membership in the basketball league in 

1904, Dartmouth (1769) became a 

member in 1912, and Brown, established 

in 1764, made the membership eight in 

1954 when the name was changed to 

Ivy Basketball League. 

Paging Wells Fargo 

Why Cornell ahead of Penn, Dartmouth, 

and Brown? And why not Rutgers 

(1766) or Williams (1793) or any 

number of distinguished New England 

colleges? Why reach out to remote and 

hard-to-get-to Central New York? And 

if so why not to Colgate (1819) or, to 

take another direction, why not Muskingum 

College of New Concord, Ohio 

(1837) ? (I composed an honest answer 

to these questions, Nancy, but it emerged 

as rank pomposity. So I deleted it.) 

And basketball, with all due respect, 

is the most improbable of the sports. It 

was a new sport in 1902. The first intercollegiate 

game with five men on a side 

was played at New Haven in March of 

1897 between Yale and Penn (Yale won 

32-10). Cornell could not possibly have 

gained any special recognition for its 

prowess on the court at the time. 

And besides, prowess, as our rowing 

success proved, was not a password to 

ingratiation . (It still isn't.) Losing— 

even twice in the same season, to Yale 

in football—did not make us lovable 

either, not for another forty-seven years 

anyway. 

So, Miss Nancy, when you say "the 

League has been in existence since the 

late nineteenth century ..." it does 

not necessarily tell the whole story. Even 

Professor Morris Bishop '14, university 

historian, admits to being baffled how it 

happened and who was responsible for 

the basketball entente. He acknowleges 

its influence on the future but he could 

find nothing in the archives to explain it. 

Could it have been a diplomatic 

coup de mάitre by the graduate manager? 

Possible, but doubtful, even with 

such a noble a proponent in the chair 

as John L. Senior Όl. After all, Mr. 

Senior was just out of college. Moreover 

he was Cornell's first graduate manager 

and had just assumed the job in that 

fall of 1902 after assisting with arrangements 

the year before when his duties 

as manager of the Glee Club permitted. 

However it happened, the athletic 

April 1962 

alliance for youthful Cornell with most 

antiquitous and prestigious universities 

created a public association — image, 

posture, thrust, to use modern terms— 

and had widespread and important consequences 

extending far beyond intercollegiate 

sports. 

Congratulations to you, Nancy, a 

sophomore in Home Economics, for recognizing 

this. You say it and you quote 

Professor Bishop to support it. 

I'm afraid I haven't added much to 

your thesis, my dear, but it's been nice 

getting acquainted anyway. 

Three Championships 

Basketball and hockey also do well 

THE WINTER SEASON is over and as 

usual there were some disappointments. 

There were some happy surprises too. 

Hockey and basketball drew large audiences. 

The Heptagonal Games drew its 

usual sellout. 

Polo, rifle, and wrestling won championships. 

Basketball and hockey came 

close. Hopes are high and participation 

is flourishing. More than 1,500 boys 

are now active with intercollegiate 

teams. 

Six Finishes Second 

In compiling the best Cornell record 

(13-5) since the 1910-11 team which 

won all ten of its games, the Big Red, 

coached by Paul Patten, not only established 

a new high for total triumphs, 

they also accounted for the first victories 

over Harvard, Yale, and Princeton 

in fifty years. The 7-3 Ivy League 

record gave it second place behind Harvard 

in the fourth season of league competition. 

A closing victory over Princeton, 7-5, 

avenged an earlier overtime loss to the 

Tigers, and secured second place. Jerry 

J. Kostandoff '64 made four goals. 

Kostandoff and James Stevens '64 

were one-two in team scoring for the 

year with thirty-seven and thirty-one 

points. Kostandoff was third in the 

league with nineteen; Stevens, sixth, 

with seventeen. 

Star goalie Laing E. Kennedy '63 of 

Woodstock, Ontario, allowed only 2.5 

goals per game, had a 91.9 save percentage, 

and wound up deservedly on the 

All-Ivy League Team selected by the 

coaches. Kostandoff made second team 

at forward. 

Quintet Dips to Fourth 

Varsity basketball wound up in fourth 

place in the Ivy League after leading for 

most of the season. 

BY THE SIDELINER 5 

The record was 18-7 for the year, 

but the story is told in the split between 

first and second terms. First term the 

record was 12-2, second term it was 6-5. 

In the league first term it was 5—1 and 

4-3 the second. Of course Captain Donald 

P. Shaffer '62 was lost with a knee 

injury in the Harvard game at Ithaca 

on January 13 and Peter D. Bisgeier, accomplished 

sophomore, went on pro 

and was lost second term. 

Champion Yale lost no one through 

injury or by academics. Even so, it was 

by a matter of a few points that the Red 

was fourth rather than first. Of the four 

leagues games lost only one was by a 

wide margin, to Yale at New Haven, 

77-56. The three others were by a total 

of six points: to Dartmouth 60-58; to 

Yale 48-47; to Penn in a double overtime, 

93-90; to Princeton 67-65. 

Only one home game in eleven was 

lost all season, league and non-league, 

and that was a one-pointer to Yale. This 

48-47 loss pretty much determined the 

Ivy title. It was in Barton Hall on February 

23, and the sellout crowd of more 

than 6,000 was the largest in seven years. 

With five minutes to go Cornell had 

what seemed to be a safe lead, 42-37. 

Yale made nine straight points, and that 

was it. 

The eighteen victories for the season 

equalled the second-best single season 

output; the 1950-51 team was tops 

with twenty. 

William J. Baugh 5 fourth in league 

scoring and one of the two seniors on 

the squad, led the team in scoring with 

414 points, for a 16.6 average. He was 

chosen on the All-Ivy team selected by 

the coaches. 

Gerald J. Szachara '63 was the team's 

second best scorer with 387. He made 

the Ivy second team. Krumbein, third 

in team scoring, with 274 points, received 

honorable mention.

An Unselfish Host 

The decimated varsity track team, 

minus nine men from injuries and academic 

penal servitude, was an unselfish 

host for the fifteenth Heptagonal Games 

indoor championship on March 3. It 

placed seventh in the ten-team affair 

which was held in Barton Hall for the 

tenth straight time and before the tenth 

straight sellout of 4,500 people. 

There was plenty of exciting action, 

as usual, and Harvard emerged as the 

surprise team victor. 

Cornell's 12 3/5 points were scored as 

follows: Francis H. Smith '64, second 

in the 600 in the time of 1:12.0; Thomas 

W. Mikulina '62, second in high jump 

at 6 feet 4; Henry T. Betts '62, fourth in 

broad jump, 21 feet lO 1 /^ Bruce R. Hoffman 

'64, tie for third in high jump at 6 

feet 1 and shared in a five-way tie for 

third in pole vault at 13 feet 6. 

Bobby Mack of Yale won the "Outstanding 

Performer" award put up by 

Cornell Club of Ithaca by breaking the 

Heps and Barton Hall two-mile record 

with 9:08.7. The Moakley Mile was won 

by Mark Mullin of Harvard in 4:18.2. 

John Magoun '12 awarded the Jack 

Moakley trophy for the Class of 1912, 

the donor. 

Mikulina shared in a four-way tie for 

second in IC4A high jump at Madison 

Square Garden on March 10 with a 

leap of 6 feet 6. Robert Potter '63 

shared with seven others a fifth in the 

pole vault with his best vault ever, 14 

feet. These were the only Cornell scorers. 

Fencers Fifth 

The first fencing team of Coach 

Raoul Sudre '61 beat MIT, 21-6, and 

Penn State, 16-11, before losing the 

final meet to Princeton, 15-12. The 

team had a fine 7-2 season record, with 

the only other loss to Columbia, and 

finished third in the Ivy League behind 

Columbia and Princeton. 

At the Intercollegiates March 16-17 

at New York University, Cornell placed 

fifth in the ten-team field. Co-Capt. 

David Jordan '62 placed second in epee, 

missing the title by a single touch in the 

final bout. Mark Richman '62 and 

David L. Leigenbaum '62 both finished 

with impressive 7-2 records in saber. 

Kevin McMahon, Penn senior, was 

the first recipient of the Georges L. 

Cointe Award. This handsome crystal 

trophy, donated by students and friends 

of the late Big Red coach, is given to the 

tournament fencer displaying outstanding 

sportsmanship, knowledge of the 

sport and rules, general appearance, and 

competitive attitude.

championships. It was determined for 

sure this year when the Red toppled last 

year's champions, Columbia, at Barton 

Hall on February 24, 21-8. It was defeated 

by Columbia, 17-12, last year 

which lost it for the Red. 

This year the season ended with 

Princeton; Cornell won easily, 20-8. 

This made it 6-0 for the league champions. 

Cornell made the 1,200 Barton Hall 

fans happy right from the start when it 

won the first seven bouts over Columbia 

on decisions. Winner were: Jared C. 

Barlow '62 of Castile, 123 pounds; 

James M. Meldrim '63 of Cortland, 130 

pounds; Thomas R. Jones '64 of Ithaca, 

137 pounds; Richard A. Giustra '62 of 

Brooklyn, 147 pounds; Dennis A. Makarainen 

'63 of Ithaca, 157 pounds; Peter 

M. Cummings '63 of Ithaca, 167 pounds; 

Michael W. Wittenberg '64 of New 

York, 177 pounds. 

Alec B. Wendell '64, 191 pounds, son 

of Gordon Wendell '41 of Cazenovia, 

was one of Cornell's two losers. 

Cornell was not much of a factor in 

the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling 

Association championships at University 

Park, Pennsylvania, on March 9-10. 

Only Cornellian to reach the semi-finals 

was Cummings, wrestling in the 157pound 

class. He placed fourth. First Ivy 

finisher was Yale, in eighth place. 

Swim Records Fall 

Losses to Dartmouth by 57-38 and by 

60-35 to Colgate made the swimming 

record 3-8 for the season. 

Garret Demarest '63 set a new Cornell 

record in the 50-yard freestyle with a 

time of 22.6 against Dartmouth. In the 

same meet the 400-yard freestyle relay 

team tied its own Cornell record of 3:24. 

Members of the relay team accounted 

for Cornell's only scoring at the Eastern 

Seaboard championships March 16-17 

at New Haven. Demarest finished third 

in the 50 freestyle and the relay combination 

placed fifth. 

Cornell scored ΊV2 points. Princeton 

was a surprise winner with 69. Yale had 

60%. 

Seventh Polo Crown 

Cornell won the National Intercollegiate 

Polo Championship for the second 

successive year and for the seventh 

time in nine years. It defeated Yale, 

14-5, in the final match in New York 

City. 

Frank S. Butterworth III '63 of 

Mount Carmel was high with seven 

goals. James R. Morse '64 of Staatsburg 

got three and James C. Reynolds '64 of 

Honolulu, Hawaii, made one. Butterworth, 

son of the Yale coach, was chosen 

outstanding player in the tournament. 

The Cornell team has been under the 

capable hand of Dr. Stephen Roberts 

'39 of the Veterinary College for ten 

years. He contributes his services to the 

team. He was a star player on the 

Cornell teams of 1938-39. 

Squashmen Seventh 

Cornell was seventh in a fifteen-team 

Eastern Intercollegiate Squash Championships 

at Harvard, March 2-3. Yale 

won the title. Best Cornell scorer was 

James H. Cohen '64 of West Hartford, 

Connecticut, who was sixteenth. Other

'What do you suggest I watch now, William?' 

BY JANE KEITH KIERSCH 

Όoo—WAH! 3 

A moment of balance in Bacon Cage 

On Your Mark! 

CORNELL plays host many times a year 

but surely one of the most gala events 

is The Heptagonals. 

There is the enthusiasm of the crowd, 

the seeming casualness of the officials. 

The changing and colorful pattern of the 

participants and each man's do-or-die 

determination. 

In the afternoon there is the informality 

of Bacon Gage where the light is 

a watery green from the glass roof and 

the crowd is smaller—dogs and small 

boys in the majority. 

At night there is the glaring light and 

gleaming hardwood of Barton Hall, the 

tempo is faster and there is a formality 

and preciseness. 

Next to a national political convention 

or a 6-year-old's birthday party, 

there is probably no other event where 

there is so much to watch all at the same 

time. 

We hope you got your tickets early. 

(Cry of the shot put) 'Is it the man or the fibreglass?' 

April 1962 27

participants were Captain Henry J. 

Steinglass '62 and William J. Taylor '64. 

Rifle Champions 

Varsity rifle team won both the Ivy 

and New York State Intercollegiate 

League titles. The Ivy tourney took 

place at New Haven on February 23-24. 

Cornell made 1,412 points out of a 

possible 1,500. This was Cornell's first 

Ivy title since 1955. 

Cornell scorers were: Edward W. 

Reich '63, 291, one point short of the 

university record; Captain Robert P. 

Declerck '62, 288; John W. Gemmill 

'63, 287; Erwin A. Tschanz '62, 278; 

and Kenneth R. Stiles '64, 268. 

Alfred was first in a four-team meet 

at Canisius, and Cornell second but 

Cornell had built up enough points 

through the season to win the NYSIL. 

Some Frosh Hopefuls 

Winter season freshmen were slightly 

above average in ability but as usual the 

talent did not appear to be in numerical 

abundance. 

Basketball had a 13-5 record and 

showed marked improvement as the season 

progressed. Expected to bolster the 

varsity squad next year are James A. 

Maglisceau, 6 feet 6 ι Δ } from Tonawanda; 

William H. VanLeeuwen, 6-5!/2, of 

Canajoharie; and David G. Bliss, 5-10, 

of Binghamton. James E. Bennett, 6-3, 

of Poland, Ohio, and son of famous 

basketeer James E. Bennett '41, and 

Ithacan Michael Kimball, 5-11, are also 

good prospects. 

The wrestlers had a 7-3-1 season. Accomplished 

prospects are undefeated 

James V. Moffatt, 147 pounds, of Pottstown, 

Pa.; Robert W. Williams, 157, of 

Windsor, with a 7-1-1 record; Joseph 

E. McKenna, heavyweight of Farmingville, 

with an 8-1 record. 

The freshmen indoor track team had 

some able performers in the following: 

Paul F. White of Plains, Pennsylvania, 

former Mercersburg star, who has talent 

in events ranging from the 60 to 600, 

broad jump, and hurdles; Thomas E. 

Gage of Fairfax Station, Virginia; James 

C. Altemus of Glen Ridge, New Jersey; 

Byron J. Westfield from Ann Arbor, 

Michigan; Peter E. Frisbee of Stuyvesant 

Falls; and John C. Olds, of Ruandi- 

Urandi, Africa, a distance runner. 

Fencing was undefeated but the competition 

was not very keen. Nevertheless 

Coach Sudre figures he has some potential 

winners. 

The swimmers had a 4-2 season but 

there were some record-setting members. 

David C. O'Brien of Washington, 

D.C., set a freshman record in the 50yard 

freestyle; Peter Gilmour of Coleraine, 

Australia, established a 'new mark 

in the 200-yard butterfly; and David R. 

Hawk of Allentown, Pennsylvania, was 

undefeated in diving and according to

INTELLIGENCE 

'Most Distinguished Son' 

A classmates tribute to the extraordinary Hu Shih '14 

BY EMERSON HINGHLIFF 5 14 

Hu SHIH '14 died February 24, 1962, and 

Alma Mater lost perhaps her most distinguished 

son. Many years ago the late 

beloved and respected Professor Martin 

Sampson, English, said in substance: "If in 

2,000 years Cornell should cease to exist, it 

may well be remembered as the place that 

educated Hu Shih." 

The New York Herald Tribune gave him 

a two-column obituary; the New York 

Times added a most appreciative editorial. 

I can imagine what it must have been in 

Formosa, where his third heart attack carried 

him off. He had lived in Taiwan since 

1958, being president of the Academia 

Sinica, Nationalist China's highest research 

institute. 

A Boxer repayment 

Suh Hu, as he was then known, entered 

Cornell with me in the fall of 1910. He was 

one of many Chinese students here, supported 

by the Boxer Indemnity Fund—the 

US devoted its part of the Boxer indemnity 

to bringing Chinese students to the States. 

He took three terms in Agriculture, then 

shifted to Arts, emphasizing history, philosophy, 

and English literature. 

Our Class Book says that he was secretary 

of the Cosmopolitan Club as a junior, presi-

lecture in Olin Hall in 1946. 

April 1962 

dent as a senior, Phi Beta Kappa, Chinese 

Students Club, Philosophy Club, Civic 

Club, and Senior General Committee. I 

have an idea that he was also a member of 

Sampson's Manuscript Club. 

I still remember his presidential address 

at the annual banquet of the Cos Club; it 

was easily the best student speech of my 

four years and hardly surpassed by any 

faculty talks. He stayed on another year in 

graduate work, then moved to Columbia for 

his PhD. 

Up until his time, all literature was in 

classical Chinese, about as far from the 

spoken language as is English from Latin. 

"Doc" (our nickname for him) changed all 

this. He gave us the inside dope at a Reunion 

banquet as to how it all came about: 

One June a Chinese Vassar freshman fell 

into Cayuga on a picnic which so stimulated 

one of the men present that he wrote 

a poem about it and sent it to Doc in New 

York. It was all, or part, in the vernacular. 

That set Doc's fertile mind to work. Why 

should poetry be confined to a language no 

one could read? There was correspondence 

among his compatriots, including some at 

Yale or Harvard. 

Product of a dunking 

Out of this came his two famous articles, 

published in China and the US, entitled 

"Suggestions for the Reform of Chinese 

Literature" and "A Constructive Revolution 

in Chinese Literature." Within three years, 

the majority of Chinese writers had shifted 

to pai-hua, meaning clear talk. And it all 

happened, according to Doc, "because a 

Vassar freshman fell into Cayuga Lake." 

Back in China, he taught at Peiping National 

University, leaving in 1928 to become 

president of the China National Institute 

at Woosung, near Shanghai, where he also 

edited a series of Chinese translations of 

European classics. Patriotism caused him to 

accept a call to become Chinese ambassador 

to Washington in 1938, during the Japanese 

invasion. 

In 1942 he was a Chiang Kai-shek adviser 

in Chungking but came back three 

years later as a member of the Chinese delegation 

at San Francisco for the formation 

of the United Nations. Then he went back 

to become president of Peiping University, 

leaving when the Communists were at the 

city's gates. One of his two sons was caught 

behind the Bamboo Curtain. 

Several years ago at a Cornell Club of 

New York luncheon forum, Doc told us 

about that and how the Reds were still 

fighting rπY shadow, hounding every one 

who had even been a student of his. He was 

not surprised that this son was reported to 

have denounced him as a reactionary capitalist, 

knowing Communist methods, which 

do not even allow freedom of silence. Two 

paragraphs from the Tribune obituary are 

indicative: 

Dr. Hu's attitude toward Chiang was 

clearly set forth when he went to Taipei in 

1953 to serve as a member of the l 3 529-delegate 

National Assembly. Asked why a liberal 

of his views should leave his post of curator 

of Princeton's Gest Library, one of the 

world's great collections of Oriental literature, 

and return to Formosa, Dr. Hu replied : 

"I felt it a moral obligation to be here. 

There are only two main political forces in 

the world today—Communist and anti-Communist. 

Only foolish people like Nehru (India's 

Prime Minister) think there is a third 

force." 

In connection with Taiwan, another 

classmate, William I. Myers '14, former 

dean of the College of Agriculture, came 

back from a Rockefeller Foundation mission 

to Formosa and the Philippines last 

year enthused as to the agricultural, industrial, 

and educational progress that island 

was making. Called it a "showcase on the 

doorstep of mainland China." Myers noted 

the almost awe in which Doc was held, 

some of which rubbed off on him when Doc 

came to the airport to see him off. He is 

repeating the trip as this is written and I 

hope the two may have met before death 

came. 

A moral drawn 

Hu Shih held honorary degrees from over 

thirty American universities and colleges. 

The Times editorial started thus: "When 

Harvard University in 1936 celebrated the 

300th anniversary of its foundation, it 

chose to give an honorary degree to one 

man from the whole great continent of 

Asia. That man was Hu Shih, who died on 

the island of Taiwan over the weekend." 

I have a story about that, too. At our 

twenty-fifth Reunion in June 1939, at 

which we gave him our first outstanding 

achievement award (which he cherished), 

he spoke at the big Reunion Rally in Bailey 

and mentioned that degree. 

He said that the Harvard tercentenary 

program listed all of the institutions represented 

in the order of their founding. The 

oldest was the University of Cairo, circa 

1,000. He himself represented five or six 

Chinese universities, and, although there 

were important universities in China 2,000 

years ago, the oldest of those he represented 

stood at about 450 A.D. on the program. 

He drew a moral. Those old Chinese universities 

were dynastic institutions; they 

fell when the dynasty fell. American colleges 

spring from the people, have the support 

and love of their organized and 

constantly replaced alumni, and are destined 

to live forever. 

With this column we reinstitute the "Intelligence" 

heading long associated with the

ALUMNI 

The Alumni Write 

From Schurman to Schmidt to Kemmerer 

Schurman and Loyalty 

EDITOR : The fine sketch of President Schurman 

by Kenneth Roberts '08 appearing in 

the February NEWS must have delighted 

many Cornellians of earlier vintages. But I, 

for one, could wish that Author Roberts had 

mentioned a highly significant characteristic 

of that impressive personality, Jacob 

Gould Schurman, and that was his ability 

to arouse a great personal loyalty in the 

denizens of the Hill of those years, whether 

they were faculty or students. 

For example: my father, Virgil Snyder, 

Grad '90-92, was in 1906 a very junior professor 

over in White Hall. A most tempting 

"call," at much better pay, to a distinguished 

university he declined, chiefly because 

he trusted Mr. Schurman far more 

than he could that new person, Woodrow 

Wilson (then beginning his presidency of 

Princeton). 

And, descending to the lower level, I recall 

my undergraduate political aberration 

(so like undergraduate silliness of every period, 

past or present), with gratitude to 

President Schurman for the sympathetic, 

understanding manner with which he guided 

me out of that error. Only years later did 

I learn of his interest. 

How admirably Mr. Schurman's Cornell 

career illustrates the old truism: loyalty begins 

at the top. —HERBERT SNYDER '16 

Frosh Rules Supported 

"HINCH:" I enjoyed your letter to the editor 

re George Lincoln Burr. I applaud your 

stand on freshmen rules. When the rules 

of our day were analyzed, one found them 

sensible and useful. If followed by the frosh, 

they worked to his advantage and were helpful. 

I do not know when the first frosh rules 

were set up. I do know that in the '90s 

they were in force. Burr must have lived 

in a vaccum to have not known that. 

I enjoyed Kenneth Roberts on "Some 

Cornell Professors." He showed then that 

he could write. It took him about twenty 

more years to bring the reading public to 

know that he could. The illustrations, particularly 

of Schurman, are excellent. I am 

looking forward to the continuation. 

—THOMAS I. S. BOAK '14 

Tribute to Hu Shih 

"HINCH:" May I as the American executor 

and closest friend of our most distinguished 

classmate propose this toast in 

memoriam: 

30 

"To Hu Shih, greatest Chinese scholar 

of our times, always objective but never 

dispassionate, lover of mankind but not of 

its weaknesses, dedicated patriot but above 

all parties, deeply religious but without 

credal affiliation, a genius in historical 

analysis and philosophic synthesis, a realist 

in diplomacy, classicist in art, master of 

communication, devoted Cornellian whose 

classmates were as close to his heart as blood 

brothers; he feared no man nor death itself 

which he met chin high and glass in hand." 

—HAROLD RIEGELMAN '14 

The Schmidt Influence 

EDITOR: Regarding the September NEWS 

with letter from Andrew J. Biemiller '26, 

recalling Prof. Nathaniel Schmidt: 

What an enormous influence Professor 

Schmidt's talks and lectures and conversations 

must have had down the years! I first 

met him in President Schurman's time, during 

what we now call the golden age before 

World War I. 

There was a Cosmopolitan Club at Cornell, 

with an unchartered Scandinavian 

branch which met at the homes of members, 

more often than not at the book-lined house 

of Professor Schmidt. He was born in 

Sweden but nationality must have meant 

little to a man with a campus reputation 

of knowing forty languages! 

Prof. Olaf Brauner, artist, from the College 

of Architecture, born in Oslo, was another 

outstanding personality. He made it 

his business to bring works of modern artists 

to the campus and also lectured—with 

slides—on the works of renaissance painters. 

Prof. Halldor Hermansson of the Icelandic 

department in the library, curator 

of the Fiske collection, linguist and international 

scholar, bowed under the lintel, 

together with lanky and lovable Lane 

Cooper, destined to be named by Prof. E. 

K. Rand of Harvard "easily the king of 

all concordance makers," both of them remarkably 

free from the dust of the many 

libraries they had visited. There were 

mathematicians, naturalists, and "us", the 

undergraduate students. 

As Professor Schmidt was professor of 

Semitic languages, I was not surprised to 

learn that he had written a book on Ibn 

Khaldun (1332-1406), Arabic historian of 

Tunis, far ahead of his time, whose Introduction 

to History was translated by Franz 

Rosenthal and published by the Bollingen 

Foundation in 1958. Professor Schmidt told 

his story with gusto, following him in and 

out of prison, in and out of favor with 

rulers, always seeming to get out of scraps 

in the nick of time—once being let down 

in a basket over the wall of Damascus. I 

remember sitting on the edge of my chair 

while the good professor laughed, tears 

rolling down his face, while the room applauded. 

In a linguistic crowd it was almost inevitable 

that translations would come up for 

discussion, among them, of course, the 

Rubaiyat. How much was Omar, and how 

much FitzGerald? There were remarks to 

the effect that original poetry might better 

be translated into prose, or left alone; e.g. 

who can translate O Roma nobϊlis, orbis 

et domina? 

Professor Schmidt did not seem to take 

part in the discussion. I noted that he got 

up from his chair and pulled a couple of 

volumes from a bookcase. We wondered 

what was coming next! And wonder did 

not cease when he began to read The Bells 

by Poe in English, a mischievous glint in 

his eye. 

Then he opened the other volume and 

read the poem translated by the Swedish 

poet Rydberg while expressions of surprise 

and delight registered on every face in the 

room. You heard those bells and kept time 

as you swayed to the "sυingade, klingande, 

ringande klockornas, klockornas rytmiska 

makt." 

Those were evenings to remember, made 

so pleasant by Liebe und Kenntnis and 

topped off with excellent coffee served in 

fine china cups by the lady of the house. 

—ANNE TJOMSLAND Ίl, MD '14 

Pro Lipchitz 

EDITOR: I am writing in rebuttal to the letter 

of Donald E. Maclay '17 regarding 

Cornell's recent acquisition of two pieces 

of sculpture by Jacques Lipchitz. I am in 

wholehearted disagreement with his views. 

Harold D. Uris '25 has made a generous 

and exciting gift to Cornell which will enhance 

the campus, enrich the minds of all 

students and visitors, and provide needed 

contact with the world of contemporary art 

for Cornell's fine arts and architecture students. 

Many styles of architecture are represented 

at Cornell. It is delightful, refreshing 

and educational to add these important 

modern sculptures to the traditional bronze 

figures on the quadrangle and the romantic 

castings in Goldwin Smith Hall. No more 

fitting setting could be found for the new 

sculptures than the Olin Library, an impressive 

yet graceful structure. 

Mr. Maclay's harsh adjectives may yet 

soften when he is able to view "Bather" and 

"Song of the Vowels" when they are placed 

in their proper surroundings, able to be 

viewed from all sides, perhaps touched as 

well, and lighted by the outdoors. 

—CAROLINE STEIN HOLZ LERNER '46 

EDITOR: I am sure I am only one of many 

thousands of Cornellians who does not "regard 

with dismay" the splendid acquisition 

by Cornell of two Jacques Lipchitz sculptures, 

donated through the generosity of 

Harold Uris. These magnificent works of 

art created by one of the world's most renown 

sculptors should make worthy additions 

to our campus. —SYLVAN COLE JR. '39 


'We Called Him Rocky' 

EDITOR: A very brief note to express congratulations 

on the way the NEWS has 

shaped up. It's intelligent, it's articulate, 

and it's fun to read. The layout seems to be 

attracting most of the attention, but the 

greatest improvement as I see it is in the 

editorial content. 

You've stimulated your readers to write 

in about something more significant than 

"the time Rockford (we called him Rocky) 

McPartland and I greased the trolley 

tracks on State and had traffic tied up all 

the way back to the Lehigh station. Har, 

har, har!" The stuff published in the last 

few months (the Bronfenbrenner-Vischer 

debates, the Kahn-Rossiter papers, the 

passing-of-the-compet letters, and the perennial 

football controversies) has been 

pretty darned engrossing. 

Including the group therapy some of the 

old boys have engaged in, confessing that 

today's Cornellian is probably a good cut 

above them as a scholar . . . and that he's 

also developing into a fairly thoughtful 

human being. Sure, there are Alfred E. 

Newmans running around, as John Hersey 

observes in The Child Buyer, but on the 

whole, kids are turning out a hell of a lot 

better than they really have any right to 

be expected to. 

And humbug the cries of conformity; 

maybe today's Cornellian just gets down 

to business quicker. There will always be 

guys around to write Widows, and Suns, 

and Cornellians if for no other reason than 

that intelligent, thoughtful people like to 

write. There will always be compets for the 

athletic teams because intelligent, thoughtful 

people like competition . . . like to 

prove themselves. 

And there will always be the zanies and 

the pranksters, because intelligent, thoughtful 

people like to have fun, especially when 

they're young and especially because 

Cornell doesn't squash personal liberties. 

Well, for instance, like the time David (we 

called him Dave) Guest and I planted a 

twelve-foot scrub pine in the middle of the 

Arts Quad. Har, har, har! 

—DARRYL R. TURGEON '57 

Defense of Kemmerer 

EDITOR: In a letter published in your February 

1962 issue, Abrahm L. Doris ΊO said: 

"While we may differ with some professors 

of history and political economy, let us give 

ear to their free expression of opinions." 

With this sentiment I heartily agree. However, 

let us insist that these professors clearly 

identify their opinions as such, and not 

present them to their students, and to the 

general public, as though they were scientifically 

demonstrable conclusions. 

Let us also insist that students not only 

be exposed to various conflicting opinions, 

but that they also be taught how to judge 

for themselves the relative merits of each. 

Let them be taught how to compare both 

the assumptions on which a hypothesis is 

based, and the conclusions to which it leads, 

with all of the relevant recorded facts; let 

them be taught how to detect, and how to 

avoid, the pitfalls in logic and semantics 

that have led to a host of popularly accepted 

fallacies. 

An example of how easily we are led by 

faulty reasoning to wrong conclusions is 

provided by Mr. Doris' comment on the 

April 1962 

A Great Day for the Women (Doctors) 

FIVE HUNDRED ALUMNAE honored two of 

the Medical College's most distinguished 

women graduates with a luncheon Feb. 

17 at the Hotel Pierre in New York. Dr. 

Connie M. Guion, MD '17 [January 

NEWS] and Dr. Janet G. Travell, MD '26 

(picture, right) were on the receiving end 

of the honors, and Dr. Travell reversed 

the tables somewhat by bestowing some 

honors of her own. 

To Cornell she expressed gratitude for 

her medical education, and for the chance 

"to teach and to learn throughout my 

postgraduate life." She has been on the 

Medical College staff since 1930, and is 

now on leave from the faculty, serving as 

personal physician to President Kennedy. 

To Dr. Guion she paid tribute as 

"teacher, friend, and adviser . . . she 

has given a shining new lustre to the 

ancient profession of medicine, and her 

pioneering courage has made the way 

easier for the rest of us." Dr. Guion, the 

"dean of women doctors," is professor 

emeritus at the College, and a consulting 

physician at New York Hospital. 

To young women Dr. Travell gave encouragement 

in choosing medicine as a 

career. Although she didn't say as much, 

her own career offers the sort of encouragement 

of which she spoke. 

She had been the top student in her 

Medical College class, and then launched 

into a private practice and life of research 

and teaching that has brought her 

renown as a specialist in pain and the 

relief of muscle spasm. 

It was this specialty that caused her to 

to be called in to relieve John F. Kennedy's 

acute back pains in 1955. Since 

then she has treated nearly all the Kennedys, 

junior and senior, the late House 

speaker, Sam Rayburn, and Arizona's 

Senator Barry Goldwater. 

As Kennedy's physician she heads up 

the White House medical center which 

treats as many as 600 visitor and staff 

patients a month. As part of her redecoration 

of the center she has installed paintings 

by one of her two daughters, Mrs. 

Edward H. Street (Virginia Powell) '56. 

Her prowess and tenacity as a researcher 

were described last year by a 

newspaper syndicate writer, Boyd Lewis, 

who also happens to be a regular tennis 

opponent of Dr. Travell and her husband, 

investment counsellor John W. G. 

Powell. Wrote Lewis: 

Her publications in the medical journals 

are a record of enterprising and painstaking 

research. 

She has made an imprint upon the design 

work of the late Prof. Edwin Kemmerer: 

"As a theorist he was brilliant; but not one 

of the fiscal systems which he created for 

several South American republics and the 

Chinese Republic proved workable." 

The fact that these governments abandoned 

the monetary and banking systems 

that Professor Kemmerer helped them establish 

no more proves that those systems 

of furniture—she persists in the belief that 

chairs should fit people despite some designers' 

efforts to make them look like abstract 

paintings. 

She has written her ideas into airplane 

seating, with a chair in the Electra that can 

tilt back for a snooze without getting in the 

other fellow's salad. 

She spent long hours driving a tractor 

across plowed ground to make the farmer 

safe from sacroiliac. 

She has mushed behind sled dogs in the 

Arctic to study cold for the Air Force, piloted 

a tank at Ft. Knox. 

For all the tank and dog sled rides, she 

is a charming, feminine woman, a mother, 

a housewife. This has shone through to 

the many newspaper and magazine interviewers 

who have visited her since she became 

White House physician last year. 

As she explained in her talk in February, 

she gets many letters from young girls 

who want career advice. She has become 

a living example of the opportunities for 

women to combine highly successful professional 

lives with a successful marriage 

and home life. 

The occasion for the talk by Dr. Travell 

and one by Dr. Guion was the 65th annual 

luncheon of the Cornell women's clubs of 

metropolitan New York. Helen S. Haskell 

'27, MD '38, was toastmistress. The luncheon 

followed a metting of the Executive 

Committee of the Federation of Cornell 

Women's Clubs the day before at the 

School of Nursing, and a meeting of club 

presidents the same day. 

were unworkable than running a car into 

a tree proves that the car's design was 

faulty. It has been demonstrated many times 

and in many places that the practices advocated 

by Professor Kemmerer are eminently 

workable, if the monetary authorities 

choose to make them work. 

No monetary system will permit a government 

successfully to pursue mutually ex- 

31

elusive goals nor, of itself, cure a nation's 

ills. History shows that men assent more 

readily to having their earnings confiscated 

by inflation than by more direct methods 

such as taxation. Inflation is therefore a 

preferred policy of governments determined 

to deprive their citizens of the freedom to 

keep what they have earned. 

However, such governments find that currency 

redeemable in gold, as advocated by 

monetary scientists such as Professor Kemmerer, 

tends to thwart their objectives. 

When they embark on inflationary schemes, 

the more alert citizens try to protect themselves 

by exchanging their potentially 

worthless paper currency for the government's 

gold. 

Thus, nations abandon the gold standard, 

not because it fails to perform as predicted, 

but because the predictable consequences 

conflict with government aims. On 

the other hand, governments that are intent 

on maintaining their citizens' economic 

freedom have found the gold standard to 

be a useful implement toward that purpose. 

It is not denied that redeemable currency 

can be abused; this has been done. Nor is 

it inconceivable that irredeemable currency 

could be kept sound; although this has not 

yet been done, it would seem that the only 

major requirement, given our present state 

of knowledge, would be wise, honest, and 

selfless politicians. 

Until such politicians come along, however, 

we shall have to make do with those 

we have. This unfortunate situation need 

not necessarily be fatal, since we have not 

yet relinquished all control of our government. 

The great mischief of which our present 

politicians are demonstrably capable 

could, conceivably, be prevented by the demands 

of an informed public, acting on the 

advice of wise, honest, and selfless professors. 

Let Cornell leave to other universities 

the distinction of producing prominent 

pedlars of economic nostrums. Cornell has 

been among the leaders in applying the scientific 

method in other branches of learning; 

let her now join those who will some 

day have made a science of economics. 

—PAUL S. NIX JR. '51 

EDITOR: Abram L. Doris '10 has written in 

the February NEWS of "Professor Edwin 

Kemmerer who taught Money, Credit and 

Banking. As a theorist he was brilliant; but 

not one of the fiscal systems which he 

created for several South American republics 

and the Chinese Republic proved workable 

. . ." 

I do not know whether Mr. Doris, who 

is no youngster, is trying to score easy points 

on someone no longer present to defend 

himself, or whether he is just writing carelessly. 

At any rate, he raises a point of fact, 

whether Professor Kemmerer "created" 

these fiscal systems, and a point of evaluation, 

whether indeed they do not work. I 

should like to reply to these. First of all, 

a word about Professor Kemmerer for the 

younger generation. 

Edwin Walter Kemmerer (1875-1945) 

received his PhD in economics at Cornell 

in 1903 and also taught there in 1906-12. 

He then moved to Princeton where he 

taught until 1943. During his lifetime he 

served as financial adviser to 14 nations 

which led him to be internationally known 

in the 1920s and 5 30s as the "money doctor."

Third Generation 

ONE STUDENT and one alumnus have 

written to add names to the annual 

NEWS listing of new students whose parents 

or grandparents are Cornellians. The 

listing was published in the December 

NEWS. 

Of the 3,371 new students who came 

into the university during the spring and 

fall terms of 1961, 354 have alumni parents 

or grandparents. The number of 

third-generation students is increased to 

forty-five by the new names supplied. 

Carlton J. Curtin '65 is the son of Dr. 

Charles Curtin '36, and the grandson of 

Mrs. Sarah (Chapman) Clarke '13. 

Gordon R. Hough '65 is the son of John 

E. Hough '37, and the grandson of the 

late A. C. Hough '83. 

The nations which he advised were, in 

chronological order, the Philippines, (1903- 

06), Mexico (1917), Guatemala, Colombia 

(twice), Germany, Union of South Africa, 

Chile, Poland, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, 

China, Turkey, and Liberia (1936). 

He was also editor of the Economic Bulletin 

(1908-10), predecessor of the American 

Economic Review and president of the 

American Economic Association (1926), 

and author of many books, perhaps the most 

widely read being the ABC of the Federal 

Reserve System (eleven editions in his lifetime). 

And, pardon the anti-climax: he was 

also my father. I teach economics at the 

University of Illinois. 

Professor Kemmerer was a life-long advocate 

of the gold standard (the gold coin 

standard where possible) and of a central 

banking system closely resembling our own 

Federal Reserve System. There was no 

"brilliant" but not "workable" theory back 

of this. He based his judgment on experience 

across the world and through time. 

Great Britain operated very successfully 

on the gold standard, 1821-1914; the US 

did likewise, 1879-1933; and France did so, 

1875-14, 1926-36. Indeed in 1914 there 

were some 40 nations allegedly on the gold 

standard. With rare exceptions they suffered 

less inflation and enjoyed greater 

economic growth than those not on gold. 

As for the Federal Reserve System, despite 

some faults, we have kept it for nearly a 

half century. His financial recommendations 

to the nations that he advised were 

essentially adaptations of these well known 

and long tried institutions. 

My father used to remark, "Nations do 

not go bankrupt as individuals do. Whereas 

a person may declare bankruptcy and pay 

off his creditors at say 40 cents on the dollar, 

a nation simply inflates its currency 

and pays off in a 40-cent dollar." This is 

what we have done since 1939. Admittedly 

World War II was partly responsible for 

that, but so was the postwar policy which 

the Treasury imposed on the Federal Reserve 

until 1951. 

A full gold coin standard permitting 

citizens to convert paper or deposits into 

gold (no longer possible after 1933-34) 

would have, I think, caused earlier and 

larger withdrawals of gold from the Treasury 

than took place, but in doing so it 

would have alerted the public to the unsound 

monetary policies being pursued and 

brought pressure on the government to correct 

the situation sooner than it did. 

In short, with a gold coin standard, the 

public can more easily influence an administration 

to abandon unsound monetary 

practices. With a partial gold standard, such 

as we now have, only foreign central banks 

can apply the pressure and it comes more 

slowly. 

In contrast a managed paper currency 

does not offer the public any quick way of 

bringing pressure on the government. Nor 

does the public become aware soon when a 

managed currency is breaking down. That 

is one reason why "planners" and "socialists" 

prefer the managed paper money 

standard to the gold coin standard. 

Let's look now at the West Coast of 

South America countries which E. W. Kemmerer 

put on the gold standard in the 1920s 

and whose banking systems he modernized. 

They profited from these improvements 

as long as they held on to them. It is true 

that not one is today on a gold standard; all 

of them, however, have kept portions of the 

central banking, commercial banking, and 

tax systems which the Kemmerer Commissions 

recommended and which they 

adopted. The amount retained, of course, 

varies from one country to another. 

Like ourselves these Latin American nations 

yielded to financial temptation. Some, 

like Chile in particular, have suffered a 

severe inflation with revolutionary sideeffects. 

It was not that the money and banking 

systems which E. W. Kemmerer advocated 

for them were bad or impractical; after all, 

other nations had used these for long periods 

with marked success. But these South 

American nations did not have the selfdiscipline 

to follow those good laws; for 

that matter, the world's leading nations 

whom they sought to emulate, and who had 

formerly used better financial policies, no 

longer offered them a good example. 

In my opinion the economics that we 

have been exporting for the past 25 years 

is not the brand of economics that made 

this nation economically great. 

—DONALD L. KEMMERER 

Praise for the NEWS 

EDITOR: My sincere congratulations. The 

February issue of the CORNELL ALUMNI 

NEWS is one of the finest issues I've had 

the pleasure to see in a long time. Its contents 

and poignant photography certainly 

are on a high professional level. This is one 

issue that is going into my library! More of 

this calibre journalism will make more 

readers among the alumni. 

—Dr. MORRIS CHAMURICH '26 

EDITOR: HEARTIEST CONGRATULATIONS ON 

FINE FEBRUARY ISSUE OF ALUMNI NEWS. 

—CHARLES M. WERLY '27 

PRESIDENT, ALUMNI ASSN. 

EDITOR: Your recent issues, including that 

of March 1962, have been so superior to 

anything heretofor that the NEWS has become 

one of the outstanding college publications 

and I congratulate you on your 

achievement. 

Keep up the good work, which makes 

the Cornell Sun seem childish in comparison. 

—JOHN WRIGHT TAUSSIG '08 


Notes from the Classes 

The latest word from alumni, old and new 

Addresses in the following columns are in 

New York State unless otherwise noted. 

Personal items, newspaper clippings, or 

other notes about Cornellians are welcomed 

for publication. Class columns are written 

by correspondents whose names appear. 

'03 LLB—James J. Clark, the retired 

vice president of Liggett Drug Co., Inc., 

writes: "We are proud great-grandparents 

of Donald William Schaffner, born Nov. 

10, 1961 (Cornell 1983)." The Clark winter 

address is Route 2, Box 143, Ocala, 

Fla.; summer address is 86-75 Palo Alto St., 

Hollis. 

'05 CE—Don E. Andrews and his brother, 

Benjamin R. '01, have given the Cornell 

Undergraduate Library two volumes, 

Greyhounds of the Sea and Queens of the 

Western Ocean, by Carl C. Cutler, long director 

of the Maritime Museum, Mystic 

Conn., and published by the US Naval Institute, 

Annapolis. These books are a history 

of the Yankee clipper ships and sailing 

packets, or passenger liners, American-built 

and sailed, which dominated the Atlantic 

until after the middle of the 19th century. 

Since his retirement in 1946 as an executive 

of US Rubber Co., New York, D.E. Andrews 

and his wife (Ella B. Westcott '99) 

have made their home on Mobile Bay, 

where their address is Box 357, Fairhope, 

Ala. 

'06 AB, '14 PhD—Though she retired 

in 1944 after 24 years in charge of fish culture 

in the New York State Conservation 

Department, Emmeline Moore of Slingerlands 

takes satisfaction in the fact that three 

years ago she christened the "Emmeline 

M," a boat especially fitted for icthylogical 

research in Long Island Sound. She is a 

past president of the American Fishery Society. 

'08 ME—J. P. Dods, now retired and 

living at 3804 Calle Fernando, Tucson, 

Ariz., reports interest in reading not only 

of former classmates but also of plans for 

the university's second century and for 

changes in curriculum.

will be christened "Alhambra Lounge," recalling 

a favorite meeting place of 50 years 

ago. On another floor will be "Memory 

Lounge." This will house the '12 memorabilia 

exhibit, including publications, pictures, 

and historical documents preserved 

by the class secretaries—Kellogg, Dewey, 

Kerr, and Coffin—and other members of 

the class. 

Golfers are asked to bring their clubs 

and be ready to tee off in the tournament 

at 10 a.m., Thursday, June 7. Lew Swift 

and a committee are making plans for the 

opening event of the three-day celebration. 

Highlight of the second day will be the 

all-1912 dinner at which the women of 

the class will be guests of the men, and the 

wives of the men will be guests of their 

husbands. It is estimated that more than 

60 men will bring their wives. The dinner 

on Saturday evening preceding the alumni 

rally in Barton Hall will be a stag affair. 

The Pennsylvania Dutch trio, which was a 

hit at the 45-year and other '12 Reunions, 

will be with us.

When Ralph H. Woodland, 105 E. Delaware 

PL, Chicago, 111., graduated from 

Cornell, many, many years ago, he went to 

work with the Hanna Engineering Works. 

He has been with them ever since, becoming 

secretary, treasurer and part owner. 

Now, after these 49 years, he resigned Jan. 

1 as treasurer, but is remaining on as Secretary 

on a part-time basis. That's a wonderful 

record. Let's hope, Woody, that you 

will stay on with them for at least one more 

year to round out an even half century with 

your company. 

Last year A. Lester Slocum, 2675 N. Terrace 

Ave., Milwaukee, Wis., was elected a 

United States delegate to the Third International 

Council meetings of the World 

Alliance of YMCAs, at Geneva, Switzerland, 

July 18-25. This meeting "provided 

an excuse" for a trip to Europe, including 

a motor trip of three weeks along the 

Rhine, through the Black Forest and lake 

regions of Germany, Italy and Switzerland. 

While in Switzerland Les visited some of 

his curling frends in Zermatt. He went over 

on the "Queen Elizabeth," returning on 

the "United States." When in New York 

on the way home he had a nice visit with 

Tris Antell. 

George J. Sturmfelsz, 1208 Southview 

Rd., Baltimore, Md., retired five years ago 

and has "three grandsons to keep me busy." 

In his spare time, when not "grandsoning," 

he raises camellias outdoors. He wants to 

prove that it can be done in his colder climate, 

and worry the southerners about 

their camellia-raising laurels. (He would 

have had a pretty tough time if he had 

been working on camellias in Indiana this 

winter.) Sturmy is looking forward to 1963 

and our 50th Reunion, and is hoping to 

meet many of our classmates at that time— 

"at least fifty." Should be many more than 

that. He reports all Ί3ers in his area seem 

to be well and hearty, which is good news. 

Donald B. MacDonald, 111 E. Walnut 

St., Kingston, Pa., writes: "Nothing new. 

Still working but take more vacations." He 

saw the Princeton (30)-Cornell (25) game 

last fall. He thought Cornell should have 

34 

had two more (?), and I can't read 

the word. His writing is worse than mine. 

But it's either "two more men" or "two 

more minutes." Maybe either one is just 

what Cornell needed. I can give no news 

about Raymond B. White except a new address, 

which is 928 Grand Ave., Room 1400, 

Kansas City 6, Mo. 

John J. D. McCormick, 68 Harvard St., 

Holyoke, Mass., says his son-in-law, Chip 

Chipouras '52, a former guard and center, 

is taking over most of the burdens of his 

business. John heard from Howard Carey, 

Hutchinson, Kan., last Christmas and Howard 

told him he was getting ready for "our 

50th." So should we all. 

J. Waldo Myers, 29 Wequasset Rd., Harwich 

Port, Mass., writes that with him consulting 

work in the employee benefit field 

has now been replaced by various civic and 

community activities. That is all very fine, 

but Spike's most important announcement 

is that his 19th grandchild arrived last year. 

According to the official reports received 

in this office, that makes him still the champion 

grandpappy of our class. He was 

champion last year with 18, so until we 

hear further or unless some candidate is 

ringing in a bunch of twins or triplets, he 

remains champion. Are there any other 

candidates? 

Women—The Hoffs, Olaf and

"No doubtless" you all noticed that Astronaut 

Glenn took off from Pad 14 at Cape 

Canaveral! I just learned the phrase "no 

doubtless" from a friend who shares my 

antipathy for "irregardless." My entry for 

the best non-word is "disirregardless." 

My favorite word-juggler, Morris Bishop, 

gave in February two delightful public 

lectures, on early faculty and early students. 

He paid tribute to Andrew D. White, 

Goldwin Smith, the non-resident lecturers, 

and the resident faculty, which he called 

a "remarkable group." Early football (40 

men on a side) was described as something 

between soccer and the Civil War. I could 

visualize the visiting baseballer who slid 

into what he thought was third base on the 

campus cow-pasture diamond, and thrilled 

at the description of the Saratoga regatta 

of 1875 and the "git thar" stroke. I first 

learned that Cornell had produced a president 

of Wellesley, Julia Thomas Irvine '75. 

In introducing Morris, President Malott intimated 

that his history of Cornell would 

probably be published this fall. Morris is 

spending six weeks this spring term at the 

University of Indiana; subject, Petrarch, 

whose life he is now writing. He contributed 

the biographical essay on Petrarch to The 

Horizon Book of the Renaissance, published 

last year in England. 

My favorite Andalusian, George H. 

Barnes, Drawer 350, Andalusia, Ala., has 

agreed to take on the job of representing 

1914 on the Alumni Fund. George had only 

one year with us, in CE, but he puts most 

of us graduates to shame in his active love 

for Cornell. (His boy, Evans, graduated 

in Arts in '51). So, rally 'round—for 

George and Cornell! My favorite class secretary, 

Doc Peters, in the Caribbean as this 

is written, was delighted to have Barnes 

take on the Fund post. Doc is still mourning 

Lint Hart's death; he went to Detroit 

for the funeral. He wrote the end of January 

that Jim Munns seems to be making 

headway, but that his wife says she is having 

trouble holding him down. Have had two 

notes from Dick Ainsworth, via a Red 

Cross aide, in Veterans Administration 

Hospital, Albany. Still chipper. 

Clarence Morse just called up to tell me 

that he had heard on the radio that Doc 

Hu Shih had died. Since Doc was my favorite 

and most highly respected alumnus 

in '14 or any other class, I am desolated. 

Look for a fuller report by me elsewhere in 

this issue. 

Doc's good friend and admirer, Harold 

Riegelman, 420 Lexington Ave., New York 

17, wrote me Feb. 13: "As matter for your 

gossip column, you may wish to know that 

Mayor Robert F. Wagner, having defeated 

me for the mayoralty in 1953, awarded me 

the Medal of the City of New York for 

distinguished public service, on Jan. 7, 

1962." And well deserved, too. Another 

Hal, this one Halsted, wrote from Naples, 

Fla., that he hoped to see Timmerman, 

Chapin, McCreery, Carman, and Rees at 

the Coral Reef Yacht Club in Miami one 

weekend. 

Had a nice letter in January from Charlie 

Tehle,, Norwood, Pa. He had spent three 

weeks with his daughter Eleanor '46 in Kentucky, 

including a few days at French Lick. 

He asked if I had chanced to meet Tetsushiro 

(Naky) Nakamigawa when I was 

in Japan. Sorry, I didn't, but the 1960 

Alumni Directory gives a new address for 

him: 16 1-chome Wakaba Cho, Shinjiku-ku, 

Tokyo. Charlie, Johnny Nulsen, Wilson, 

and Nako were in a lab section together 

once. "He was a very fine fellow." Charlie 

gets pleasure out of looking up men mentioned 

here in the old Class Book and 

sends "Hello to any who might remember 

me." He lives at 127 Mohawk Ave., Norwood, 

Pa. 

Les Card writes that he has been a "statutory 

imbecile" (tha's what they call 

emeritus professors at Illinois) since Sept. 

1960. Nevertheless he "just passed another 

physical, which leads me to think that the 

FAA may let me keep flying long enough 

for us to fly to Ithaca for 1914's 50th Reunion." 

Les was scheduled to leave Jan. 

9 for another short assignment to a dozen 

Indian Ag and Vet colleges. I don't know 

what they call a retired dean of engineering 

out in Stillwater, Okla., but Ed Stapley 

and his wife had a three-month trip to Norway, 

Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Southern 

England, and Ireland last summer, and are 

saving up for a visit this year with a daughter, 

husband, and four grandchildren in 

Izmir, Turkey.

Stars above! We do not refer to the firmament 

as viewed from Col. John Glenn's 

capsule, but to the gleam in the eyes of 

our own Wendell W. Brown (HQ 

AFSOUTH Library, CINCSOUTH, Box 

11, Navy 510, FPO New York, N.Y.) as 

he tells of the performance of his young 

daughter, Eleanora, who was chosen from 

several thousand aspirants from all over 

Italy to play the part of Sophia Loren's 

daughter in the film "The Two Women" 

("La Ciocara" in Italian). Eleanora was 

only 12 at the time, 1960. She also appeared 

in "The Last Judgment" ("Giudizio Uni- 

versale 33 

) last summer, but is now back in 

the American School, studying her head off 

(her father hopes), "completely unspoiled 

by all the notoriety that goes with moviemaking." 

Wendell bridges Then and Now 

by noting, "When I think of myself at that 

age I take off my hat to her. I was petrified 

at 12 when they wanted me to recite four 

lines in a school graduating exercise. I 

told them to go fly a kite!" 

Starting a new life, C. Earl Young, 460 

Factory St., Watertown, tells us he was married 

again last October, sold his old home 

and bought a new one in St. Petersburg, 

Fla., and lives in a cottage on the St. Lawrence 

River (St. Lawrence Park) in the 

summer. Congratulations are in order on all 

counts. He went to Florida in December, 

then on to California for a sojourn with 

Loren (Windy) Meade at his ranch home 

in La Habra. Earl says the Meades have 

gone to the Philippines to visit their son 

who is there in the oil business. 

Some classmates move faster than the 

NEWS can print the story. Walter Priester, 

for example, headed for Hawaii early in 

February for a powwow with Lester Marks 

of Honolulu, who recently visited Ithaca 

and New York City following extensive 

foreign travels. Walt is actively seeking a 

big contingent for the mass pilgrimage to 

Ithaca in 1965. J. Dickson Pratt of Honolulu 

and J. Scott Pratt of Kaneohe, Oahu, 

are on his list to be persuaded. Yuk Tong 

Char in Hololulu is another who might be 

tempted to return. 

Meanwhile our Florida sun- and funseekers 

multiply despite the increasing lure 

of the Caribbean islands. Your correspondent 

expected to greet a number of classmates 

as he jetted down to Puerto Rico en 

route to Jamaica and Mexico, but missed 

Paul B. Schumm of Santurce, beautiful 

San Juan suburb, and several other leading 

lights of Puerto Rico's capital who are 

members of the very active Cornell-Penn 

Club there, because of pressures incident to 

being bitten by an overzealous crossbreed 

police dog! It was owned by some nice people—one 

a famous woman, Dr. Anna Robert 

(onetime Committeewoman to the Republican 

convention in the US before 

Puerto Rico achieved commonwealth status—whose 

courtesy was such that the story 

ended with the headline "Dog Bites Man. 

Man Makes Friend!" 

My wife (Jessie King '16) and I did 

catch up with Col. Luis Cianchini at his 

family home in Coamo, in the mountains 

en route to Ponce, where he joined us for 

lunch at the magnificent Hotel Intercontinental. 

Luis entered the Army in 1917 

April 1962 

and stayed until he retired a few years ago 

as a colonel. It seems that while we thought 

he was isolated in the hills of Coamo he 

was actually in service between Newark 

and Trenton, N.J., and for some time has 

been a commuter between Puerto Rico and 

his gentleman's farm at Silver Spring, Md. 

He has been active in cattle raising and 

personal realty affairs. He expressed interest 

in seeing some of his old friends, such 

as Walt Priester, to whom he recommends 

the curative pleasures of Coamo springs 

and the excellent climate as a postoperative 

rebuilder of vitality. His plans to be at 

Ithaca for the 50th are just about set. 

In a later issue we will cover our meetings 

in Mexico with several Cornellians, including 

friend Lewis C. Perry Jr., now retired 

there and planning to dispose of his 

Ithaca family home and Cayuga Lake cottage 

this summer.

The local press reports that Frank 

Hunter bagged his first Bengal tiger in India, 

a huge cat. Added to his Kodiak bear, 

the tiger should use up quite a bit of his 

den space. 

John Moir Jr. writes from Hawaii, his 

home state now, that he is floating about 

the Islands on his Hunter cabin cruiser, 

with everything needed for speed, or loafing. 

He was sorry to have missed the 45th, 

but had a full report on it from Mrs. Moir 

(Gertrude Fisher Ί8). Recent visitors to 

the Islands have been Windy Mead and 

Warner Orvis '11,, and their wives. John was 

awaiting the visit of his daughter and family 

from Darien, Conn. He mentioned the 

"World's Greatest Golf Course," 36 holes, 

just opened, and the new Sheraton Hotel 

at Kaanapoli Beach, being developed as a

of plastics, is still active in his company. 

Albert Hartzell of 257 Odell Ave., Yonkers, 

has retired after 37 years as entomologist 

at the Boyce Thompson Institute for 

Plant Research, Inc. He was the last active 

scientist of the founding staff of that Institute, 

established by Col. William Boyce 

Thompson in 1924. Due to ill health, Clarence 

M. Bloodgood of 3523 Rowe PL, Lafayette, 

Calif., has retired from Air Reduction

the Detroit and Chicago offices during his 

tenure, and was assistant to the president 

of the Pacific Coast Co. 

Col. William H. Speidel of 245 Eaton 

Lane, West Island, retired in 1952 after 35 

years in the Army. He also served four years 

in hotel management with Alamac Estates, 

Inc., and its associated hotels, and now 

lives in his waterfront home on Great 

South Bay, L.I., enjoying his hobbies of 

yachting and gardening. He holds the 

championship of the Cottontail Class in 

the Great South Bay Yacht Racing Assn. 

His son, William C. '57, is sales manager 

of the Sheraton-Kimball Hotel, Springfield,

Clyde A. Russell of 438 W. Sixth St., 

Claremont, Calif., now "in retirement but 

not retired," works with small fry in Little 

League and Pony League baseball, scouts 

for the high school football team, and takes 

an occasional fling at teaching physical education 

locally. He also enjoys some striped 

bass fishing in the Sacramento River at Rio 

Vista, doing nicely with the 3- to 7-pound 

species. Dana L. Barbour of 515 Guthrie 

St., Greensburg, Pa., retired from Elliott 

division of Carrier Corp. in 1959 after 43 

years' service, the last 16 years as manager 

of the production engineering department. 

He is well content in his old hometown, 

with numerous forays to Florida and elsewhere. 

Walter P. Daly of 630 W. Ellet St., Philadelphia,

settling now in the vicinity of Damariscotta, 

Me. Victor Klee of 3030 Samarkand 

Dr., Santa Barbara, Calif., retired in 

1944 (not long in trade); his daughter and 

her children help him to hold down his

Prof. Clarke B. Louden writes from Al- 

Hikma University, Baghdad, Iraq: "It 

hardly seems possible that we were on the 

Cornell campus 45 years ago. Certainly I 

shall plan to make the Reunion. It will be 

interesting to see what the years have done 

to some of the old crowd. The end of the 

school year and our Big 45th coincide so 

closely it will be necessary for me to fly 

the entire distance." It will be Clarke's first 

Reunion. In another part of the world, 

Aquiles Armas Mendez writes from Trujillo, 

Peru: "Just came back from Lima 

where I had been thinking of you and Cornell 

as you can see by the enclosed check 

which I am sending you for my 1962 class 

dues. It is pleasing to me that Howie Ludington 

is being retained as Reunion chairman 

even though he has passed away." 

Aquiles lists six recent events of importance 

in Peru or relating to his homeland and he 

concludes, "I am looking forward to next 

June." Incidentally Aquiles is always the 

first to pay class dues even though consistently 

he is the farthest away from the good 

old USA. 

Frank P. Cullinan is associate director 

of Crops Research Division, USD A, Beltsville, 

Md. He wrote: "I expect to see you 

at our 45th in June. Henry Allanson, Le 

Roy Saunders, and probably many more 

from the Washington area hope to attend 

also." We are indebted to Frank for sending 

us Edgar de Laski's address — 13 Whittier 

St., NW, Washington, D.C. Ed has been 

"lost." By now all Ί7ers should have received 

their copies of the new class directory. 

Like Frank we hope you will check 

the "Addresses Unknown" page (99 classmates

attending our Big 45th but hoped to solve 

it. We hope so too! Don's address is 1824

Montour Falls is one of the many lucky 

Ί7ers who "get away from it all" during

Highest honors in our class go to George 

A. (Butch) Worn'of 14230 Lutheria Way,

a grandchild enter Cornell. Sharon D. Worn 

is registered in the College of Architecture. 

She is the daughter of the late George A. 

Worn Jr. '43 and is the first of the third 

generation of Worns to attend Cornell. 

Butch has two other sons who graduated 

from Cornell, Ross '49 and Donald '50. 

Grandpa expects to attend our Big 45th. 

Archer L. Rodney, 1190 N.E. 86th St., 

Miami 38, Fla., writes that a Cornell Club 

was started in that area but not sufficient 

interest was shown to keep it going. He 

suggests that perhaps Ί7ers living in that 

vicinity could sponsor and revive the club. 

I suggest that Arch consult our new class 

directory and then contact his Florida classmates 

to back a Cornell Club of Miami — 

or southern Florida — then get them together 

to return to Ithaca for our Big 45th 

in June. Also we are planning our annual 

dinner for New York in May, date to be 

announced later. "Be Sure You're Seen

An article in the Diner's Club magazine 

caught my eye the other day. It was by 

Eddie Cantor, who was of our generation 

but no Cornellian, and tells about that great 

comedian's experience playing for charity 

benefits, particularly of an occasion when 

he went to Buffalo for such an appearance. 

To his surprise, however, our own Max 

Yellen, who was his host, announced that 

the necessary money had already been collected 

and that Eddie could relax and enjoy 

himself. Max, it turns out, is a brother 

of songwriter Jack Yellin. 

Speaking of publications I've read, the 

Zion Church Times, put out by the Zion 

Episcopal Church of Dobbs Ferry, is one of 

the most interesting. It's rector is Charles 

E. Karsten, and Charlie himself apparently 

writes much of the bulletin, including a 

half page of one-sentence sermons. 

Harry Collins writes to say he's still teaching 

Spanish at the A.B. Davis High School 

in Mt. Vernon, as he's been doing since 

Jan. 1922. Harry lives at 651 N. Terrace 

Ave., Mt. Vernon. He notes that his close 

friend and classmate Maurice Kaplowitz 

has been teaching mathematics at Brooklyn 

Boys High ever since graduation. 

Robert W. Hopkins sent in his dues to 

Jack Knight with no word about himself 

except that he's still a real estate appraiser 

at 909 Elmwood Ave., Buffalo. Even more 

brief, Philip St. George Prince says only, 

"We're all getting old." He lives at 543 

Grape St., Vineland, N.J., but doesn't seem 

to stay at home much. Leonard Bickwit, 

280 Madison Ave., New York City, reports 

his only claim to honorable mention is that 

his son is a Howland Fellow at Oxford 

University. Louis Samuels is another of this 

list of reticent classmates. Lou still carries on 

his CPA practice, together with his son 

Arthur '49. He lives at 75 Parkway East, 

Mt. Vernon. 

Russell J. Doremus is a bit more chatty. 

Still living at 31 Coolidge Ave., Caldwell, 

N.J., Russ manages to get around. He reports 

a visit last summer with Harold J. 

Karr out in Aurora, 111., where the two 

talked of Cornell in pre-World War I days. 

Karr is with Norcross (greeting cards). 

Russ is fully retired and happy about it, 

mindful also, he says, that "June 1963 is 

well worth waiting for." 

Laurence V. Farnham quit as consulting 

engineer with the New York Public Service 

Commission back in Sept. 1960, but the 

Commission has found it can't get along 

without him, so he frequently is called in on 

special problems. Larry lives at 893 Farmington 

Dr., Cheshire, Conn. Edward H. 

Brown sends in a note giving no news about 

himself except his address (22626 Calverton 

Rd., Cleveland, Ohio), but hinting that we 

ought to ask G. W. (Whit) Bowen about his 

North Cape cruise last summer. Meanwhile 

Whit himself drops a note to say that he 

and Mrs. Bowen did indeed have a fine 

time on that trip, including their three days 

in Leningrad and Moscow. Of the 10 countries 

they visited, he was most impressed 

by Norway. 

Walt Schmid of 3267 Thomas Ave., 

Philadelphia 43, Pa., says he enjoys the 

quiet life of retirement and is healthy — 

that's all. Arthur O. Olsen of 40 Witch 

Lane, Rowayton, Conn., is even briefer, 

stating that he's still making the rounds of 

the grandchildren — six at latest report but 

another due any day. Fred Crane, 143 

Sanders Rd., Buffalo 23, apparently continues 

active in the American Public Works 

Association. He was elected vice president 

of that organization in 1959. 

Well, that's it. How about some of you

We note in passing that many classmates 

are retiring but are not becoming inactive 

by any means. Some become so busy after 

retirement that you have to make appointments 

to see them whereas they were generally 

available when working. Then there 

are those who, like your scribe, are booked 

ahead for 1962 at least, and are not at all 

dismayed by the thought of some interesting 

tasks ahead. 

One who is retiring after a long and 

fruitful career with DuPont is Ford H. 

McBerty. Ford started in 1928 as an engineer 

in research and development with 

the Krebs Pigments & Chemicals Co., Newport, 

Del., which was acquired by DuPont 

the following year. After a series of assignments 

he was transferred to the Wilmington 

office in 1936 to head industrial engineering 

for all pigment plants. During the 

war years he was in charge of the field engineers 

doing industrial engineering work 

for DuPont plants. In 1946 he was loaned 

to the US Department of Commerce to 

become a member of its technical industrial 

intelligence committee to survey pigments 

technology in Germany. On his return to 

DuPont in 1947 he was named general adviser 

to the engineering department's management, 

and in 1959 he was appointed 

special assistant in the department's control 

division. McBerty is a member of numerous 

technical societies, was mayor of 

Newark, Del., 1948-49, is past commander 

of Post No. 10, American Legion, and past 

president of the Newark Lions Club, Newark 

Chamber of Commerce, and Delaware 

Chapter of the Armed Forces Chemical 

Assn. 

In a note to Lloyd E. Bemis, our treasurer, 

who lives at Caldwell, N.J., classmate 

John M. Larson remarks that he was originally 

from Caldwell, graduated from high 

school there, and pitched three years for 

the high school baseball team. After release 

from "Uncle's" Navy in 1919, he returned 

to Cornell and finished his course. Following 

graduation, he wandered through 28 

states, sometimes doing bacteriology and 

chemistry, moving on to Texas oil fields, 

then to Kansas and Montana wheat. Finally 

he wound up in Oregon and has been there 

ever since. His residence is 332 Seventh St., 

Springfield, Ore. He owns and operates a 

service station. John mentions that "this 

is really a banana-belt climate." 

Lloyd also passed along to your scribe 

another interesting letter, this from Paul 

Skelding of Hearth-House Farm, Hartland, 

Vt. Paul reports that he has not solved the 

problem of getting letters written promptly. 

It seems that a similar condition afflicts 

many of us, your scribe in particular. 

Paul and Elizabeth Skelding extend an in- 


vitation to all Cornellians passing through 

to stop at their farm for a visit. 

In his round of duties your scribe dropped 

in at the United Fruit & Vegetable Assn. 

convention, held in New York recently, and 

met Marius P. Rasmussen, who used to 

head up the Department of Agricultural 

Economics at Cornell. Ras has retired but, 

like many others who have done so, finds 

he is still busy. Among other things, he has 

been translating some Danish. In looking 

around at the convention Ras noted that 

Cornellians were thick as hasty pudding, 

and counted no less than 13. Most of the 

US Department of Agriculture bigwigs 

were Cornellians, not to mention energetic 

sales managers for various organizations, 

and learned men of science. 

A note from "Doc" Horace E. Shackelton 

says he saw only one '19 member at 

the Barton Hall luncheon before the Yale 

game last fall, namely W. Morgan Kendall. 

Morg and his wife spent the month of June 

in Paris and London and on the Riviera. 

Since his retirement, Doc has been a consultant 

on personnel for the City of Ithaca 

and has acquired additional duties which 

keep him busy. However, the Shackeltons 

have been taking a number of interesting 

short trips, including Ottawa, Wilmington, 

N.C., and Hanover and Williamstown. 

Charles F. (Mike) Hendrie reports he is 

still chasing around the US on business 

about half the time. His home address* is 

232 Forest Ave., Glen Ridge, NJ. Our 

greatest traveler seems to be Charles Baskerville. 

Not too long ago Warren Benton 

mentioned meeting him in Hawaii, and the 

other day Clyde Christie sent in a magazine 

clipping with a picture of Charlie in Palm 

Beach. In the meantime he had been to 

the Orient. 

J. Monroe Campbell reports that he and 

his wife had two most enjoyable reunions 

in Phoenix and Tucson with Fay C. Bailey 

and his wife. The Baileys live in Phoenix. 

Fay and Monroe were close friends all 

through undergraduate years and were later 

associated for four years in the Orient with 

the First National City Bank of New York.

a civil engineer couldn't be expected to 

know anything about farming. Well, he 

could start by surveying his lands, a la 

George Washington. Or better still, plan 

a summer picnic for the class! 

Ernest W. Steel still lives in Austin, Texas, 

after retiring in Feb. 1961 as professor of 

civil engineering at the University of Texas. 

Since then nobody could work as hard 

as Steel, as consultant to the Pan American 

Health Organization. This included a seven-month 

assignment in Venezuela working 

on water supply problems. He must have

to his present title of purification superintendent. 

(He's 99 44/100 per cent that

Most of the news of classmates is furnished 

this correspondent by George Munsick, 

who passes along the comments you 

write on your class dues notice. These come 

in quantity in the fall, but by this time of 

the year the pickings are slim and the correspondent's 

performance appears to be in 

direct proportion to his salary. Under these 

circumstances any notes you write directly 

to me are as welcome as an unexpected 

stock dividend, not to mention the pleasure 

of hearing from old friends. As a case in 

point, I had a newsy letter from Clyde 

Mayer in response to my request to complete 

the identification of the classmates 

immortalized in the Reunion picture of 

last June. So get out your copy of the picture 

and let Clyde help you. 

He says: "I thought I knew most of our 

classmates but seems I don't. Perhaps the 

wear and tear have changed some appearances. 

Anyway, I can help you with at least 

five, and if other classmates will do some 

research, the other half dozen or so will be 

identified. First, I am amazed that Bert 

Lentz himself did not comment at great 

length over the unpardonable injustice 

done him at being listed as a nonentity, for 

the man on the extreme right in the first 

row is good old Bert, the big man with the 

little stick (baton). In the third row, between 

Bitker and Sophie (Deylen) Davis, 

reposes none other than Frank Gumboldt 

of Damariscotta Mills, Me. In the fifth row, 

37

I am quite sure that is Leo Lilienfeld of 

New York City between Spindler and Ashcroft. 

In the sixth row, between Dickinson 

and Thompson sits our famous heart and 

internal medicine man from South Orange, 

N.J., Ferdinand Dinge; and between Duryea 

and myself sits Ted Buckley, sheriff 

and pride of Cambridge, N.Y., our famous 

crew man. Finally, I agree with winsome 

Elsa C. Schlobohm, that the missing link 

between Mosher and Steinmetz, in the 

seventh row, is handsome Jim Ramsay, our 

erstwhile high jumper." 

Clyde adds: 'Our Reunion was a humdinger, 

a doozie, way out there! It had 

everything. I've attended all but our tenth, 

and exerted myself physically to a greater 

extent on others, but this one I thoroughly 

enjoyed, somewhat subdued. You see, I had 

had some back pains for about a year and 

had my gall bladder and appendix removed 

in May, and was on a strict c 

no golf diet, 

and my back still pained. X-rays later in 

the summer showed my real trouble to be 

a deterioration of the sixth and seventh 

vertebrae, my third bout with malignancy. 

Eighteen high-powered cobalt treatments 

in August seem to have done the trick, and 

I am still on my feet, and slugging. It really 

didn't interfere much with my retirement 

activities. I've always enjoyed playing golf 

so eight years ago we built our home on 

three and one-half acres of Sand Hill, the 

highest point bordering the beautiful Williamsport 

Country Club. In fact, 500 feet 

of our line borders on the sixth fairway 

and we are only a half minute away from 

the sixth tee, and brother, that beats the 

20 miles we had to drive down in New 

Jersey. I also painted our house in October, 

between rounds of golf." 

Thanks, Clyde. I am sure all classmates 

who read this will agree that when we 

think of the class of 1921, we think first 

of Clyde Mayer, our first class president. 

And Clyde, I know all join me in wishing 

you the best in everything.

The official attendance record of 72, back 

in 1952, wasn't broken at another Famous

There was no official speaker to dignify the

Now and then I take a peek at the next 

column, the one written by John Jay Cole

for class dues. We have never lost track 

of each other after all these years, and 

when Johnny moved to a new job, after 

many years with Sanderson and Porter, I 

was one of the first to know. Now president 

and general manager of the Bead Chain 

Mfg. Co. in Bridgeport, Conn., he has 

moved to Fairfield. It will be interesting 

to see how he and Marge like living in a 

house after years as cliff dwellers in mid- 

Manhattan. Anyway I am going down to 

Fairfield to find out. 

Bill Weaver of Gloucester, Va., said he's 

still going strong at the same old stand but 

didn't describe the stand. He has a daughter 

at Randolph-Macon and a son studying 

poultry science at VPI. That's where I was 

invited to give a talk before a regional conference 

of the AIIE late in February, but 

the subject was far from poultry science. 

The Daily Argus of Mount Vernon for 

Feb. 5 carried on its front page a picture 

of Alex Singer and a report of his receiving 

an award as the most distinguished citizen

a good bet that, over the years, Alex has 

been in it, most likely as chairman. His 

firm is Cuzzi Bros. & Singer, Inc., builders. 

He is active in various organizations connected 

with civil engineering and in the

George Harmon Coxe, our Cloak and 

Dagger expert, has written a new mystery 

story entitled Moment of Violence. Through 

some impish expression, he has dedicated 

it to Larry Pryor. As this is written, there 

is no direct connection between Larry and 

violence, but maybe we will all have to buy 

a copy of the book to find the answer. If 

George begins to dedicate any more of his 

hair-raisers, I will be a little wary of them. 

I can see great incriminating possibilities 

in having a book dedicated to me entitled 

Who Killed the Sheriff Last Tuesday Night. 

James H. (Jim) Luther, our new Reunion 

chairman, went into training for the 

new job by spending the first three weeks 

of March down in Mexico. I am sure the 

whole class will feel sorry for the poor 

fellow, who was already worn out before 

doing any work on the Reunion. Jim will 

appreciate all donations of vitamin pills. 

It is with real grief and sadness that I 

report the death on Feb. 12 of Frederick D. 

Berkeley Jr. (see Necrology). Those who 

knew Fred rated him as a grand guy, full 

of life, good-natured, and a happy fellow 

to have around at any time. We can ill 

afford to lose him. 

Joe Motycka, the scribe who runs Apt. 

'22 one floor above us, has asked me how two 

illiterate hoodlums such as he and I became 

class correspondents for two adjacent 

classes. In his case, the selection is easily 

traceable to a very readable literary style, 

and an apparent Sherlock Holmes ability 

to ferret out news from all places at all 

times. In my case, I can only report that 

when the names were drawn, my name was 

the only one in the hat. Incidentally, if any 

budding Huntley or Brinkley would like 

this reporter's job, a four-cent stamp will 

get the quickest acceptance ever on record. 

Meanwhile, I hope some of our blushing 

violets will break down and send me some 

more news. 

By the time this is printed, you will probably 

have received your annual bill for class

In the fall of 1920 about 1,300 men and 

women (boys and girls) migrated, ingathered, 

came together — a new class, the class 

of 1924 — at Ithaca. Strangers all! Thirteen 

hundred entities, with varied ethnical, family, 

geographical backgrounds. In the succeeding 

four years this group of disparate 

individuals gradually coalesced. They became 

one. The class of '24 evolved. As a 

group, we became proud of the accomplishments 

of the class and its members. 

Then came the explosion of graduation. 

Academicians, scientists, professionals, other 

graduates scattered, bomb propelled, out of 

the sphere of the campus to the bewildering 

outer world; to the real "commencement"; 

each to begin his future. 

To most "classes" this means a disintegration, 

a disappearance of the personality 

of the class, a regrettable loss of a valued 

though evanescent wholeness that each student 

had unconsciously come to share with 

his fellows in the four preceding years. 

It was not, mirabile dictu, to be so with 

the class of '24. Why? Because John Brothers 

(picture) was one 

of us. Johnny, more 

than anyone else, 

gathered the pieces 

together. He, with 

other stalwarts, set 

about to confine the 

molecules resulting 

from the explosion. 

Dedicated, persevering, 

patient, indefatigable, 

he began to reconstruct the old 

whole. Letters pleading, cajoling and urging 

were written. Gradually the alumni 

class of '24 took shape. Became again an 

entity. Became, as a matter of fact, a more 

conscious cohesive single whole than we 

were in June of '24. After 38 years of unselfish 

devotion to his class, John has asked 

to be relieved, and "He shall rest, and 

faith he shall need it." 

And so, thanks, John. Thanks from us 

all. Thanks for giving us all a sense of be- 


longing, with pride, to a great segment of 

Cornellians. 

The new class secretary is a man well 

qualified to step into these huge shoes. Able, 

active, enthusiastic, he is a man we're 

mighty lucky to have. Along with our 

paeans of praise to Johnny for past efforts, 

now pledge we enthusiastic support to our 

new secretary William (Bill) Leonard. Bill, 

here's to you.

In a few weeks our '27 boys in blue will 

be assembling in Ithaca, "far above Cayuga's 

waters" to celebrate their big 35th Reunion. 

Those coming back for the first time 

will find the campus as beautiful as ever. 

Many fine new buildings will reinforce 

your pride in Cornell. Norm Scott, class 

secretary-chairman, and Norm Davidson, 

Reunion chairman, have done their best to 

set up committees to provide for your every 

comfort and pleasure. It is now up to you 

to return in order to make this a happy 

and successful event. If your wife would 

like to come, bring her along. There'll be 

fun for all. 

To welcome you we have the best in 

Russ Vollmer, chairman from hospitable 

Baltimore, Md., assisted^ by Bud Trefts, Red 

Shaw, Fred Parker, Bill Diemer, Trustee 

Joe Martinez, Gus Craig, Red Bartels, Bus 

Wright and Ev Bradley. For transportation 

we'll have none other than the president 

of B&O, Jerv Langdon II, aided by Ray 

Reisler, Charlie Schaaff, Bill Schneider, and 

Stan Allen. His honor Mayor Phil Hoyt 

will register you, backed up by Ted Blake, 

Brad Reed; Bill Chandler, Charles Werly, 

Gene Tonkonogy, Jay Achenhach and 

Frank Millan. Then Ed Krech will fit you to 

a fine '27 costume and Bill Story, Carl 

Eberhart, Gil Lamb and Herm Redden will 

see that your identification button and all 

is in order. 

We have secured from the Park Sheraton, 

New York City, the manager, our Tom 

Deveau, to handle dinner arrangements 

aided by Ed Schimmel, Dick Mollenberg, 

Ted Eggmann, Hal Gassner, Jim Hand, Bill 

Waters and Judge Bill Dicker. Yes, there'll 

be refreshments. Johnny Young says we 

will have the best because his assistants 

know where to get them. They are Nat 

Owings, Gurney Mann, Jack Ruck, Leo 

Landauer, Stan Craigie and Ted Blake. For 

those who prefer good beer, we enlisted 

Jack Fair from Philadelphia with strong 

support from June Carey, Ed Trimble, 

Gene Goodwillie, George Munschauer, 

Charles Abell and Bill Foltz. 

Don't forget the P-rade—Bob Hobbie 

says he'll make it short so as to conserve 

our energies for the 40th. Bill Cressman, 

Steve Hall, Herb Moore, Bill Davies and 

Norm Bissell will keep us in line. For the 

big Picture, we'll have Sam Bullard, Eastman 

Kodak big wheel, with his able assistants 

Floyd Kirkham, Wes Pietz, Frank 

Bethell and Stan Noble. It will be a good 

one with your help. For our publicity, we 

have enlisted a top specialist, President 

Walt Nield, who will call on Bill Joyce, 

Ez Cornell, Mike Rapuano, Ray Morse, 

Glen Bennett, Art Bruckert, Bob Koch, and 

Don Hershey to get it done. 

To head up the Headquarters Administration 

and handle the finances, we're getting 

the best from DuPont, our vice president, 

Mitch Mitchell, with an illustrious 

group of assistants in Norm Scott, Jess Van 

Law, Clark Wallace, Johnny Young, Bernie 

Aronson, Roland Pierotti, Joe Ayers,

Next month we'll publish the list of those 

returning, so get those checks and sizes of 

hats and jackets to Norm Davidson, 116 

S. Broad St., Kennett Square, Pa., now. 

We'll be looking for you June 7, 8, 9, "far 

above Cayuga's waters." It will be a memorable 

event and I'm sure '27ers, with the 

aid of their fair '27 gals in blue, will break 

another record. Thanks to Paul Gurney, 

we have a slogan with animation: 

Besides his private law practice, John 

Krieger is city attorney of Salamanca. He 

39

is serving his 13th year as counsel to the 

city's housing and hospital authorities, 

flood control, water and power commissions.

Johnny said, "If Mayor Phil Hoyt ever 

needs a city attorney, tell him to give me 

a call."

Charles E. Treman Jr. (right in picture), 

president of the Tompkins County Trust 

Co., announced in December that the bank's 

board of directors had created the Tompkins 

County Trust Co. Endowment Fund 

in honor of William H. Burns (center). 

This permanent endowment fund, started 

with an initial gift of $10,000, is named for 

the bank's board chairman, an Ithaca community 

leader during most of his 50 years 

with the bank. Subsequent annual additions 

to the fund are anticipated as part 

of the Trust Company's contribution to 

the Cornell Centennial. Motivation for establishment 

of the endowment was the 

bank's conviction that private industry 

should share the responsibility for maintaining 

and improving American institutions 

of higher learning. 

The bank has requested that the income 

only of the fund be used as a loan or scholarship 

fund primarily for the benefit of 

residents of Tompkins County graduates 

from its secondary schools who wish to pursue 

graduate study in the School of Business 

and Public Administration, or in other 

April 1962 

graduate divisions on the campus. In acknowledgment, 

President Deane W. Malott 

(left) said, "Cornell accepts with gratitude 

this gift from the Tompkins County Trust 

Co. The establishment of this fund is dramatic 

evidence of the close relationship 

and cooperation which exist between the 

Ithaca community and the university. We 

are especially pleased that this fund will 

enable the university to assist students from 

Tompkins County and that the fund is established 

in honor of Cornell's longtime 

friend and Ithaca's community leader, William 

H. Burns."

John Brush, 2 Beech Knoll Dr., Cincinnati, 

Ohio is about to get his first patent 

on the "Autamaran," 

an ingenious adaptation 

of the catamaran, 

using an automobile 

for power and 

capitalizing on the 

growing number of 

outboard launching 

ramps which are being 

built on waterways 

all over the 

country. The owner of the Autamaran can 

tow it behind his car to the nearest launching 

ramp, launch catamaran pontoons, 

drive his own car onto the catamaran— 

the combination giving the owner a 4,000pound 

express cruiser which in 15 minutes 

can leave land and propel itself on any 

body of water. [Car, above; John, left.] 

John designed the Autamaran (which he 

first called the Auto-Boat) in 1954 and 

1955, doing about 60 per cent of the construction 

himself. First launched in June 

of 1956, it has undergone continuous research 

and development ever since and 

according to John is now thoroughly tested, 

easy to launch and beach, and completely 

safe. 

The craft is 21 feet long and has a 13foot 

beam when launched. Twin catamaran 

hulls draw 12 inches of water, but the propeller 

is adjustable for various depths. The 

rig is backed into the water until the trailer 

wheels are hub-cap deep. A long shafted 

crank through a succession of gears opens 

the two hulls. When these are opened the 

trailer wheels come out at the side, acting 

as fenders for the side of the craft. Two 

self-contained ramps are then pulled down 

from the bow and secured at the launching 

platform. 

Then the owner backs his car on to the 

craft. John says any car with the exception 

of the Rambler or Buick can use it (these 

can't, only because they have enclosed drive 

shafts). Front wheels of the car rest on two 

circular plates which are attached by cables 

to the rudder. Thus, by turning the car's 

steering wheel, the boat is steered. Rear 

wheels are chocked and through a door under 

the rear seat the Autamaran drive shaft 

is attached to the boat propeller. A water 

pump is connected to the propeller which 

forces the water through a heat exchanger. 

The car Brush has used is equipped with 

a 300 horsepower automobile engine, which 

propels the boat at 26 miles an hour and 

42 

the car at 80 miles an hour. John estimates 

cruising speed at a comfortable 15 miles an 

hour.

The class dues plan for '35ers is off to a 

good start. During the first four months of 

operation, dues have been sent in by 165 

of the 1,003 members of the class. One of 

the features of the program is that it makes 

the ALUMNI NEWS available to all members 

of the class. We certainly hope that you are 

enjoying it. If you haven't yet done so, 

please send your dues check right away to 

Joe Fleming, 623 N. Perry St., Titusville, 

Pa. We still have a long way to go before 

we can assure the underwriters of the program 

that they won't be assessed for some 

part of a deficit. 

We have received notes from many of 

those classmates who have paid their dues. 

Although it will be some time before we 

can publish all the material which we now 

have, we are most interested in hearing from 

the rest of you. Here are those who have 

already given their support to the dues program:

Cornell Cou?ιtry?nan in February published 

an article by Harold Hawley entitled 

"Farming—What A Life! I Wouldn't Trade 

It for the World." Harold went to Purdue 

for his MS and PhD, also acquiring wife 

Mary, who has two Purdue degrees in nutrition. 

After several years as a price analyst, 

he went home in 1946 and bought the 

farm across the road from where he was 

raised, near Auburn. Later he bought his 

father's farm and a third one. He now 

operates 725 acres, and has over 70 cows 

and 70 heifers. In 1959, Harold won the 

Ford Farm Efficiency Award for Dairymen, 

as the most efficient dairyman in the 

US. He is typical of the new generation 

of farmer-businessman who participates in 

community affairs. He serves on the school 

board, is a director of a feed plant, and a 

director and committee chairman of the 

New York State Farm Bureau. He calls 

this "the good life." 

That candid shot of famous photographer 

Barrett Gallagher (picture) was 

taken while he was on a picture assignment 


at the Home Ec college. Emilie Hall of 

the Department of Extension Teaching and 

Information got the bright idea of turning 

the tables on him. 

Harry S. Kieval reports a new address: 

RD 1, Box 45 IE, Cedar Ridge Rd., New 

Paltz. Effective next September, he will 

gain tenure as an associate professor of 

mathematics at State University College 

at New Paltz, where he has been on the 

faculty since 1959. He has a Cornell colleague, 

Gerson B. Robison '30. 

The class contingent in the nation's capital 

keeps changing. A new arrival is Prof. 

Andrew S. Schultz Jr., who took a year's 

leave of absence from the Cornell engineering 

faculty to become V.P. of Logistics 

Management Institute. Andy is living at 

4900 Massachusetts Ave., Washington 16. 

Also new in D.C. is Paul E. Deutschman, 

who lives at 2939 Newark St., Washington 

8. He is in the State Department Bureau 

of Public Affairs, after an 11-year stay in 

Europe. Due to depart D.C. in May for 

an unknown assignment in the Far East 

is Lt. Col. John J. Gillespie, who has been 

at Army HQ. Jack finally forsook bachelorhood 

a year and a half ago when he married 

Reiko Takase of Tokyo. Jack has become 

fluent in Japanese and has spent 

much of his career in the Orient. 

Kudos to Bill Conable of Buffalo and 

Charlie Dykes of New Canaan, Conn., who 

have served this year as area chairmen of 

the Leadership Gifts campaign and raised 

beaucoup bucks for Cornell. Aiding in fund 

raising for the Law School has been Louis 

J. Dughi, who has completed his service 

as county attorney. He is senior partner of 

Dughi and Johnstone, Westfield, N.J., and 

a bank director. His two boys and two girls 

are aiming for Cornell. Another lawyer, 

Joseph Mondo, is now practicing in Batavia, 

but continues to maintain his Syracuse 

office, commuting from his home base 

in the Kresge Building in Batavia. 

Flag Day, June 14, will be celebrated in 

unusual fashion by Arthur Rosenberg, of 

Malvern Rd., Stamford, Conn. Daughter 

Susan will become a bride on the holiday. 

Sky Hafely is president of Childrens Park 

Corp. in Modesto, Calif., a unique operation 

involving building gardens in a park, 

the work done by youngsters from 15 on

of fun." 

Senor Henry S. Godshall Jr. is executive 

vice president of Compania Industrial de 

San Cristobal, a pulp and paper concern in 

which Scott Paper Co. has an interest. Hank 

lives at Sierra Grande 215, Mexico 10, D.F.,

of Mexico. One daughter is finishing at 

Wayland Academy in Wisconsin and hopes 

for word of admission to Cornell. A 13year-old

writes: "As you see from the address, I am 

back in the Army again. I was called to the 

colors on 15 Oct. 1961 when my unit was 

mobilized into federal service from the New 

Jersey Army Reserve National Guard in 

the recent military buildup. I had 26 days 

to close my practice and report for duty. 

Except for the loss in income, I have been 

doing well, having lost several unnecessary 

pounds and being free from the telephone. 

I am happy and honored to be able to serve 

my country again in her need to maintain 

the somewhat precarious peace in Europe. 

I hope to be in Ithaca in June of 1962 with 

Mrs. Outwin for our 25th Reunion." 

Charles H. Peters writes from 1732

United Fund drive for which he headed 

the large business division. Chuck hopes 

to make our 25th Reunion in June. Also 

planning to be in Ithaca for our 25th Reunion 

is John W. Rogers of 23 Manor Dr., 

Hudson, Ohio. He writes that he has been 

re-elected to four more years on the Hudson 

city council and this year will serve as

A note from W. Dean Wallace states 

that his son is a freshman at Trinity, so 

quite naturally some of his allegiance is 

being transferred to that fine Hartford institution. 

Dean still keeps in touch with 

Cornellians, however. He says he saw Al 

Marsh recently, and spent a night with 

Forrest (Grif) Griffiths not long ago. He 

has heard that Alex Luedicke is now on 

the West Coast. What are you doing out

teacher in secondary school. In addition to 

attending Cornell, he has studied at a seminary 

at Hartford, Conn., and at Alfred. He 

earned an MS degree in secondary education 

at Syracuse in 1950. He was ordained 

by the Methodist Church in 1959 and is

During Reunion last June some 20 classmates 

took time to record the events on 

film and recently Dick Davis, 5 Blind Brook 

Rd., Westport, Conn., sent me a handful 

of glossies. Typical is the shot above which 

captures a serious discussion just outside 

the tent involving Dave Walradt of Kenilworth, 

111., Jack Kruse of Woodside, Calif., 

Pete Gifford of Dallas, Texas, and Rusty 

Irish of Lincoln, 111. 

Of the questionnaires sent to classmates 

who attended our 20th Reunion, exactly 

100 were completed and returned, automatically 

setting up percentages. Tabulation 

sheds some light on our preferences, 

habits and interests: 74 per cent came by 

car and 26 per cent by air, arriving on 

Thursday (42 per cent) and Friday (49 

per cent). Some 31 per cent brought their 

wives and nearly 5 per cent brought their 

children. The '41 tent took top honors as 

popular meeting spot with a 97 per cent 

attendance factor. Faculty Forums drew a 

mere 6 per cent. The Friday night clam 

bake drew 82 per cent and received the 

greatest number of plaudits; then 31 per 

cent moved on to the glee club concert 

which followed. Despite our reputation as 

"the fun-loving class," we did not confine 

our campus trips to that of beating a path 

from the dorms to the tent. Over 71 per 

cent of us visited our fraternity houses, 49 

45

per cent returned to the college hall, and 

35 per cent spent time with faculty members. 

As for the future, we may have tipped 

our hand. To the question, "Would you 

bring your wife to our next Reunion?" 48 

per cent said Yes, 34 per cent said No, and 

18 per cent indicated Maybe; 21 per cent 

favored bringing children next time. Suggestions 

for our 25th included special Friday 

and Saturday breakfast groups, a crew 

race by '41 crewmen, a golf match, use of 

the Big Red Barn and cocktail parties at 

an "adopted" fraternity house. More Reunion

Those of you who were not present at 

the class dinner in New York, Jan. 15, 

missed a real blast. The spirit of Reunion 

was evident long before the evening ended. 

Besides our Reunion co-chairmen, Burke 

and Quackenbush, both of whom came 

down from Buffalo, we had Dick Young 

from Boston, while Bob Shaner, Duke Shelley 

and Gordy Kiddoo came in from Pennsylvania. 

Eighty-one members replied to 

the dinner announcement and about 30 

were present at the appointed hour. 

We heard John Marcham '50, editor of 

the ALUMNI NEWS, give an excellent talk 

about his experiences since taking over and 

details of the operation of the group subscription 

plan. Burke and Quackenbush reported 

on Reunion plans, including a mobile 

headquarters (bar-equipped air-conditioned 

bus). Then Jim Kraker, our president, 

and Pete Wolff, vice president, 

handled the questions and answers about 

the ALUMNI NEWS subscription plan. All 

agreed that it sounded worth while and 

and that we should proceed immediately to 

send the NEWS to everyone in the class beginning 

in April. It was further decided 

Another Class Joins 

WITH THIS ISSUE, the Glass of 1942 

men begin a group subscription to the 

CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS, the fifth class 

in six months to join the group plan. 

Classes pay for the subscriptions with income 

from class dues. 

Twenty-nine classes are now subscribing 

for their members. All but four 

classes between 1913 and 1945 are represented 

('17, '22, '33, and '44). 

In addition, all men and women of '60 

and '61 receive the NEWS, which they 

paid for originally in their matriculation 

fees. 

that we should initiate at once an annual 

dues campaign and Ray Jenkins, our treasurer, 

will send out the first $10 billing 

shortly. 

We will have more news about those present 

at the dinner in subsequent columns 

but we thought you would all like to know 

that '42 has one member in the Peace Corps 

—Dick Graham of Washington, D.C., who 

is special assistant to the director. 

Tom Carnes, 209 Ashland St., Holliston, 

Mass., should have no reason for being late 

to anything, as we understand he is making 

clocks. Maybe he can find some time to attend 

the Reunion. 

Arthur Taggart, W.S.I.S., APO #301, 

San Francisco, Calif., is in the Embassy in 

Seoul, Korea, and doesn't expect to get 

home until 1963. He would appreciate 

hearing by mail, or directly, from any classmates 

or Cornellians in the vicinity. 

Robert C. Laben, 502 Oak Ave., Davis, 

Calif., associate professor of animal husbandry 

at the University of California 

(Davis), is raising four children, two boys 

and two girls. Jim Kiernan is plant manager 

of Merck Sharp & Dohme SA, Caixa 

878, Campinas, Sao Paulo, Brazil. 

Lynn D. Timmerman, 117 S. Rosewood

been going every year. Our 20th Reunion 

will be no exception. 

Leroy C. Stevens, 8 Locust Lane, Bar 

Harbor, Me., on sabbatical leave from 

Jackson Memorial Laboratory, Bar Harbor,

Laughlin in Youngstown, Ohio. Lt. Col. 

Paul N. Horton completed the senior officer 

advanced operations course at the Command

Leavenworth, Kan., on Dec. 2. The course 

is designed to instruct selected personnel 

in the doctrine and techniques used in the 

employment of and defense against special

Peter B. Miller Jr. reports: "I was interested 

in your column for September, (a) 

because I was one of the 11,000 people 

who wrote for a Shirtkerchief, and (b) because 

you had a note on Jack Egan. We 

lived in Swarthmore before moving overseas 

and, unfortunately, didn't know they 

were there until after we returned from 

home-leave. Finally, we appreciated having 

Parker Kuhn's address in Holland, since 

we recently moved to the Continent ourselves." 

Miller also asked where he could 

buy Eagle shirts, but since his address is Bowater-Scott 

Continental, 37-41 Rue du 

Congres, Bruxelles 1, Belgium, I couldn't 

help him much. 

Bill Sens is with Pratt & Whitney Aircraft 

in charge of, get this, coordinating 

all advanced air breathing engine and component 

development and advanced gas 

turbine analysis, whatever that means. (Bill 

was Tau Beta Pi and I a poor Arts student). 

He lives at 169 South Rd., Farmington, 

Conn., in case you want a translation. 

Stan Levy writes that he recently formed 

the firm of Milberg and Levy for the general 

practice of law at 2 Park Ave., New 

York 16. He neglected to say whether he 

was still playing polo. Ex-swimmer, cx-lacrosse 

man, ex-Kappa Delta Rho prexy, 

Roy E. Herrman Jr., RD, Ontario, N.Y., 

has a GLF agency serving farmers of that 

area. 

Remember Gene (Jean) Saks, erstwhile 

president of the Dramatic Club but known 

better as my roommate who subsisted in undergraduate 

years on cans of soup sent me 

by my mother? Well, he is leaving the cast 

of "A Shot in the Dark" for another Broadway 

comedy, "A Thousand Clowns." Jason 

Robards Jr. has the starring role and Gene 

will play the part of Charlie Chipmunk, 

master of ceremonies on a television kiddie 

show. 

As for myself, I have helped launch the 

Fraud of the Month Club with the Classical 

Sweatshirt Swindle, bringing culture to the 

masses by allowing them to purchase Beethoven 

sweatshirts in "athaletic grey." I 

do wish you'd write me some news. Not 

that 7 weary of news about myself, but you 

soon would. You surely would.

RD 1, Ithaca, N.Y. 

This column is becoming an annual 

event; but a column takes news, and news 

must come from contributors, like all of 

you. I have been negligent too as I have 

had several bits to pass on. First of all, the 

Bradley family (Russell H. '42, PhD '51, 

and Sarah Lockwood) have a new, and at 

this moment of typing, a very noisey, addition—Lucinda 

Allis who weighed 5 lbs. 

11 oz. when she arrived last Sept. 22. 

Last August, Mary (Osborne) Singlaub 

wrote that they were in Stuttgart after a 

year in Baumholder, Germany. They have 

taken time to travel with their three children 

to England, Italy and points in between. 

Mary's mother and father, John L, 

Osborn '13, paid them a visit and attended 

the unveiling of the Jacob Gould Schurman 

plaque. The address is Col. John K. Singlaub, 

0-37040, G-3 Sect., 7th Army HQ, 

APO 46, New York, N.Y. 

The Bradleys had a visit last summer 

from the Sue (Moffitt) and Orman B. Billings

Josh are now living at 16 Briar Rd., Briarwood, 

Wilmington 3, Del. Their daughter 

Leslie was married last summer to Frederick 

Depenbrock. Daughter Karen is a freshman 

at Cornell and son James is in high school. 

Shirley (Busacker) Johnson's husband, 

Mauritz, PhD '52, is professor of secondary 

education and director of a junior high 

school project in the department of rural 

education. The family lives on Ellis Hollow 

South Rd., RD 2, Ithaca. Shirley and 

I met in the grocery by chance and recognized 

each other on sight. Marjorie (Reed) 

Sheffer's husband, Howard E., PhD '43, on 

sabbatical leave from Union College, is 

studying at the University of Delaware on 

a National Science Foundation grant. 

Christmas cards were wonderful but not 

too newsy. However, I did learn that Barbara 

(Brittain) '44 and J. Basil Abbink 

were able to take advantage of necessary 

business trips to Europe. Bobby wrote that 

she accompanied her husband in October 

for two heavenly weeks. They have four 

children (Margery, 14; Emily, 11; John, 

6; and Andy, 2) and live at 510 Henley

Ruth (Hillman) and James Bennett '41 

of Poland, Ohio, have an offspring at 

Cornell. James E. Ill wears No. 14 when 

the freshman basketball team hits the

Mrs. J. Richard Shryock (Patricia B. 

Roberts), 145 Cheswold Lane, Haver ford,

All About Collies. It is a textbook

dogs. I have been raising collies for several 

years and have received the award for 

breeder of the year for my Ch. Glen Hill

being on the staff of the speech clinic at 

State University College, Albany, where I

grant from the Research Foundation of the 

State University of New York to work on 

a project dealing with 17th century pronunciation

and interesting in a scholarly way)." 

Charles R. Gredler, 119 Burlington St., 

Lexington 73, Mass., writes: "Have been 

made assistant librarian in charge of the 

Slavic collections in the Harvard College 

Library. What with the increased interest 

in things Slavic, we are very busy. My wife, 

Eloise Proper '45, teaches adult education

Make the dream last... with stainless steel 

Now you can protect the new look of that dream house ... if you 

use stainless steel in the right places. Gutters, downspouts and flashing will 

never cause ugly corrosion stains. Doors and windows won't dent, warp, stick 

or rust. And the strength of stainless steel makes possible screening so fine 

you hardly know it's there. 

Many other things cost less in the long run too—such as lawn 

furniture, barbecues and garden tools. And inside the house, stainless steel 

brings the same carefree beauty to your kitchen. 

The lifetime quality of stainless steel comes from chromium—one 

of many essential alloying metals developed by Union Carbide. In the basic 

fields of metals, as well as carbons, chemicals, gases, plastics and nuclear 

energy, research by the people of Union Carbide will continue to help bring 

you more useful products for today's living.

The annual class dinner and Council 

meeting was held in February (FFF) at 

the Cornell Club. Class Secretary Johnston 

promised no repeats of last year's blizzard, 

so while the quantity of preparation was 

low, the quality was well mixed with snow, 

sleet, rain and fog. It didn't keep the '49ers 

away, however, except for myself who was 

fog-bound on the end of a business trip in 

San Francisco—just could not find Idlewild 

in time. 

"Red Dog" reports that the following attended 

the class Council meeting: Chuck 

Reynolds, Pete Johnston, Wally Rutes, Don 

Geery, Neil Reid, Sev Joyce, Ron Hailparn, 

Pete Demnitz, Marty Hummel, Tom Weissenborn, 

Larry Bayern, Frank Becker, Jack 

O'Brien, John Palmer, Gordon Rapp, Walt 

Peek. The discussions covered the 15th Reunion, 

Cornell Fund, class treasury, group 

subscription to the ALUMNI NEWS, and a 

scholarship fund. The decisions will be 

covered in the next newsletter. 

In addition to the '49ers listed above, the 

following dashed into the Club for a drink 

or the class dinner: Dick Dietz, Tom Clements, 

Paul Gillette, Paul Seider, Ed Wesely, 

Norm Merz, Don Haude, Pete Allsopp, 

Marvey Miller, Marvin Soffen, Steve Plotkin,

There were no formal speeches at the

described in the '46 women's column. 

dinner. Class Prexy Reynolds made a few 

remarks and Walt Peek led the singing. It 

was announced that Coach Tom Harp has 

accepted an invitation to be an honorary 

member of the Class of 1949. Sev Joyce, 

who lives in Toledo, Ohio, won the prize 

for traveling the farthest and will receive 

his prize in the mail. The prize was traveling 

in my briefcase aboard United Air

Bill, 7—and two dogs. The kids are fast 

losing their Southern drawls, and we're all 

becoming acclimated (except for the dogs, 

who miss running through the woods of

New honors have come to some of our 

classmates who must be getting used to 

them. Jeff Fleischmann has been appointed 

head football coach at Phillips Exeter 

Academy in Exeter, N.H. Jeff, now in his 

sixth year at the academy, previously 

coached football on the junior varsity and 

intramural level and coached varsity backfield 

two years ago. He is also director of 

the intramural hockey program. Jeff obtained 

his graduate degree in education 

from Cornell in 1955 and joined the faculty 

of the Berkshire School, where he was 

head coach of football and hockey for one 

year before going to Exeter, where he teaches 

history. 

Frank Drake, after getting publicity in 

Time and Fortune, was hailed by the Sat- 

EvePost as one of the "People On the Way 

Up." Frank, who is associate astronomer at 

the National Science Foundation's radio 

astronomy observatory at Green Bank, W. 

Va., handles a "galaxy of space-probing assignments, 

currently spends most of his time 

charting space maps." Frank was selected 

primarily for the work he has done in attempting 

to locate signals from intelligent 

beings beyond our solar system. The radiotelescope 

is able to pick up signals from stars 

billions of miles beyond the range of optical 

telescopes. 

John L. Kirschner was elected president 

of the Marshall Club, a Buffalo lawyers' organization. 

John is with the firm of Saperston, 

MacNaughton and Saperston in the 

Liberty Bank Building, Buffalo. John is 

also active in the Cornell Club of Buffalo 

and is a director of the club as well as a 

haπj-working member of the Secondary 

School Committee. 

Walt Ashbaugh, 1108 Second Ave., Grafton,

of regional chairman for Wisconsin and 

Minnesota in the '51 Alumni Fund Drive. 

Walt also mentions that he helped form a 

April 1962 

chapter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce 

and was elected to board of directors. 

He is a financial accountant with Globe- 

Union, Inc. in Milwaukee. 

Another volunteer has reported in to act 

as a regional correspondent for the class. 

Latest addition to the growing list is Frank 

(Moose) Miller, 1617 Wayland Cir., NE, 

Atlanta 19, Ga. One of the jobs of the 

regional correspondents is to try to raise 

the number of classmates paying dues. It 

is essential that more do participate if we 

are to continue and possibly expand our 

present services to the class. If you haven't 

done so yet, why not send a check for $5 

along to the Cornell Class of 1951, Day 

Hall, Ithaca? And while you're about it, 

send along some news of yourself.

There is no need to remind you at this 

point that our Tenth Reunion date is just 

around the corner, but I will do so for the 

sake of form and to keep Sid Goldstein 

happy. I understand from Sid that a mailing 

concerning details for the Reunion will 

come out soon, so I will not burden this 

column with an elaborate explanation of 

what is in store. The plans outlined by Sid 

and Jack Graver appear very enticing and 

I hope we will have a large turnout. 

In response to my Reunion petition 

which each of you received in the mail 

about a month ago, I received a long and 

detailed answer from Marty Schiff Jr., 7 

N. Seventh St., St. Louis 1, Mo. Marty, 

who is an attorney with Husch, Eppenberger, 

Donohue, Elson and Jones in St. Louis, 

basically alleges that Sid, Jack and I are 

a bunch of "bad actors" who are prone to 

make "smart aleck remarks" and Marty has 

therefore moved to "Strike petitioners and 

their legal counsel, good and hard this time, 

right between the ears." Obviously, such 

statements are either frivolous or libelous, 

and I am presently consulting with my 

clients as to appropriate legal action. 

The ALUMNI NEWS basket is still chuck 

full of new items, so here goes: Fred W. 

Leonard, 513 Mercer Rd., Merion Station, 

Pa., writes that he has been the crew coach 

at Haverfofd School and that the Haverford 

crew won two national championships 

in 1961. He states that about four Haverford 

oarsmen are now rowing at Cornell. 

When he is not coaching crew and drumming 

up trade for the Cornell crew, Fred 

acts as an insurance broker. 

Ronald Millstein, rabbi of the Putnam 

County Temple in Brewster, studied at the 

Hebrew University in Jerusalem and 

traveled extensively in Israel and Europe in 

1958-59. Now in his senior year at Hebrew 

Union College, a Jewish institute of religion 

in New York City, he will be ordained 

in June. He and his wife, the former 

Joyce Bruckner, have a year-old daughter, 

Pamela Rochelle. They live at Hollybrook 

Farm, Brewster. 

Henry C. Ver Valen, 628 Woodbine Ave., 

Towson 4, Md., is a mechanical engineer at 

Bendix Radio. An avid racing driver, Hank

Careful readers of this page will note a 

new name atop this column. As was noted 

in the last issue, Fletch Hock has been 

called into orbit by President Hinsey to 

prepare for our tenth Reunion next year. 

But before letting him escape our gravitational 

grasp, we extend to him a round of 

kudos and paeans for the fine job he has 

done in writing this column since the mantle 

was bestowed upon him at the fifth Reunion. 

The big news for this issue concerns the 

fourth annual '53 midwinter dinner which 

was held on Feb. 21 at the Zeta Psi Club in 

New York City. Enjoying the beef and 

beer were, in alphabetical order, Bob Abrams, 

Pete Cooper, Bob Corrie, Pete Cudlipp, 

Bob Dochtermann, Bob Engel, Lee 

Feigenbaum, Earl Flansburgh, Clark Ford, 

Ed Gibson, Bill Gratz, Ira Greenblatt, Joe 

Hinsey, Fletch Hock, Rich Jahn, Dick Kirwan, 

Ira Miller, Sam Mitchell, Herb Neuman, 

Greg Peck, your truly, Elliott Solomon, 

Jack Veerman, Al Vesley, and Murph 

Weinberg. 

Gibson was chairman of the dinner. 

Ford's spouse (Claire Moran) helped with 

the entertainment. The "Weary Traveler" 

award, given annually to the most distant 

returnee, was copped this year by Flansburgh, 

who flew in from Cambridge for 

a free meal. What happened to Stu Warshauer 

of Cincinnati, last year's weariest 

traveler? Pictorial interest for the evening, 

in addition to Claire Ford, was supplied 

by a new movie depicting the Arts College. 

Thanks to Jahn's admirable projecting, we 

got the latest poop on radioactive isotopes, 

learned that CU has the world's largest 

collection of James Joyce, and noted with 

amazement that only one dog wandered 

through the scenery. But he saved the day 

for the rest of the undergraduate canine 

corps by marching with the ROTC color 

guard. 

Most notable announcement of the evening 

emanted from Treasurer Abrams, who 

reported that the recession was finally at 

an end. For the first time in our fiscal history, 

the class dues drive brought in receipts 

in excess of costs of the drive. 

Newcomers to this annual class event 

included Kirwan, Mitchell, Corrie, Cudlipp, 

and Feigenbaum. The manager of one 

of New York's exclusive eateries, the Broad 

Street Club, 5 Hanover Sq., Kirwan lives 

at 141 E. Hartsdale Ave., Hartsdale. He 

and wife Patsy have two children. Recently 

associated with the Meadowbrook National 

Bank of Long Island, Mitchell lives at 30 

Meritoria Dr., East Williston. Corrie is 

also with Meadowbrook. Cudlipp works for 

Alcoa Int. and lives at 200 Beacon Hill Dr., 

Dobbs Ferry. He, his wife (Jane Heitcamp), 

and their three children are scheduled 

to go to Switzerland for Alcoa later 

this year. Attorney Feigenbaum recently 

opened his own office in fast-growing Suffolk 

County at 568 Walt Whitman Rd., 

Huntington Station. 

Your reporter will close with announcement 

concerning his own legal activities. 

He and classmate Burt Fine have formed 

a new firm, Fine & Posner. Burt resigned 

last year from the US Attorney's Office in 

New York, where he was assistant chief 

of the civil division. In November, he was 

elected to the New York State Assembly, 

where he now is the youngest member of 

the Legislature. The new firm has a suite 

at 516 Fifth Ave.

and Mrs. Joyce Hunt Strand, 134

in Texas where Ed ['51] and my brother's 

family joined us for Thanksgiving." 

What a Cornell gathering that must have 

been, for Tex's parents and her brother 

also are alumni. Commenting on young 

Rives, Tex said, "The young man is typically 

2." 

Pat (Gunderson) and James Stocker '51 

simply have a new house number—229 

Dogwood, Media, Pa.—and not a new house 

down the street. Most exciting move is that 

of the C. Cudlipp Jr. family; Jane (Heitcamp) 

reports that "Pete," who is with 

Alcoa International, is being transferred, 

along with their head office, to Lausanne, 

Switzerland. 

Delightfully unabashed, Mrs. John R. 

Pearson (Lois Mayer) of 603 S. Weatherred, 

Richardson, Texas, writes, "Our little 

girl is five week old and the cutest kid on 

the block, we think, modestly." On Dec. 

20, Linda (Mitchell) and James L. Davis 


of the G.S. Ranch, Cimarron, N.M., had 

their sixth child, a girl. Linda says the ratio 

is now "a healthy four boys and two girls,"

We received a very welcome letter (considering 

our dearth of news) from the wife 

of David L. Call (Mary Gentry), announcing 

the birth of Barbara Ruth on Jan. 

23, and enclosing a clipping from the Lansing 

State Journal of Jan. 6. concerning 

William I. Tucker. Headed "Ice Fails to 

Ground Mr. Stork," it is, we feel, interesting 

enough to quote in full: 

The ice storm grounded planes, people 

and automobiles, but old man stork braved 

the elements to pull off a double header by 

delivering twins to a surprised but happy 

couple here early Friday morning. 

Waiting until the stroke of midnight, the 

old bird dropped in on Mr. and Mrs. William 

I. Tucker Jr., 730 W. Shiawassee St. [Lansing, 

Mich.], and found them slightly unprepared 

to take delivery. The impatient stork, 

assisted by the new father, presented Mrs. 

Tucker with a boy and announced his mission 

was not quite complete. During a slight 

interval, police were summoned and they 

called an ambulance which took the family 

to Edward W. Sparrow hospital over icy 

streets where Mr. Stork unveiled a girl. 

Parents said because of the unexpected 

whirl of events they haven't decided on names 

for the twins. Anyway, mother, the twins and 

father are doing fine. Tucker, 29, is employed 

by the John Bean division. His wife is Dorene, 

28. 

The Galls, who live at 612 Way land Ave, 

East Lansing, Mich., have two older children; 

Laura, 5V2, and David, 3 ι Δ. 

Notification comes from the office of the 

president of the University of Illinois of 

the appointment of Richard N. Fenzl, as 

assistant professor of agricultural engineering, 

beginning April 1. Dick completed his 

MS at Cornell in 1958, and has been a research 

assistant at the University of California 

(Davis) since 1960. 

Jonathan S. Liehowitz also writes of a 

change in employment: "I worked for two 

enjoyable years with the National Labor 

Relations Board. I left government service 

in January 1962 to enter private practice of 

law, and am now associated in general practice 

of law with the firm of Bandler and 

Kass, 261 Madison Ave., New York 16." 

His home addres is 151 E. 80th St., New 

York 21. 

Stanley (Skip) Byron and his wife (Carol 

Rittershausen '56) have moved into the 

first home of their own, high on a hill with 

April 1962 

views of ocean and canyons. Skip is still 

with Aeronutronic. The family, including 

young Mike and Cris, has camped up the 

coast and over at Yosemite, and the adult 

members have been both snow and water 

skiing, as well as riding. (Oh, these Californians!)

Steve Beck is enjoying the weather in La

Daystrom, Inc., control system division. His 

and Dotti's home address is 7344 Brodiaea

to have been sharing the frigid climes. 

Craig Atwater, for example, is a revenue 

bond analyst for Dun and Bradstreet and 

he lives at 420 E. 82d St., New York 28. 

Les Plump, who now has two children— 

Steven, 3, and Jennifer, 1—lives at 194- 

15A 64th Cir., Fresh Meadows 65. Les is 

an associate house counsel for the Sire Plan, 

a management firm. Bob Ferris also is in 

New York, doing double duty as a personnel 

and training manager for Irish International 

Airlines (since 1959) and as an 

evening law student, expecting to receive 

the LLB in June 1963. His home address 

is 960 Grand Concourse, New York 51. 

Up at 5 Andrasko Dr., Newtown, Conn., 

we find Jerry Schneider, who has just moved 

into a new home and is an electronics engineer 

and manager of device testing for 

the National Semiconductor Corp. Some 

of this news has become slightly old, so 

there may have been a change in status in 

the interim. When last heard from nine 

months ago, Irv Pettit was a management 

trainee in the Philadelphia office of the 

Connecticut General Life Insurance Co. 

At that time, he and his wife had just had 

their third child, and first son, who added 

to the gaiety at 302 N. Clinton Ave., 

Wenonah, NJ. 

Some members of the class are still enthralled 

with the military establishment. 

Capt. Harold T. Bartell, QMG, US Army, 

is now stationed at Fort Lee, Va., after a 

three-year tour in Germany. Hal's family, 

at 279 B Bizerte Cir., now includes two 

small Bartells, son Arthur, 6, and Lisa Kay, 

nearly 1. Norm Nedde isn't neglecting the 

military either. He is now the Operations 

Officer with the 38th QM Co. and should 

have his captain's bars by now. The army 

for Norm is only a part-time avocation, 

however. In civilian life he lives at 4803 

N. Kitley Ave., Indianapolis 26, Ind., and 

is a bond underwriter for the Insurance 

Company of North America. 

Len and Ann Hittner are in Parkersburg, 

W.Va., at 1049 Stadium Dr., where 

they have just embarked on the second 

stage of the life cycle: a son, Michael was 

born May 17, 1961. Leon is a chemical engineer 

with DuPont and is doing research 

and development on the newest plastic, Delrin. 

Given the name of the firm Bob Walker 

works for, Hodgson, Ross, Andrews, Woods 

& Goodyear, you might surmise that he's 

now a lawyer. Bob received his degree, with 

distinction, from Duke last June, and can

The beginning of the year in New York 

saw many Cornellians in our area. About 

10 members of our class showed up at the 

midwinter meeting at the Hotel Roosevelt. 

Consensus was that this meeting serves little 

more than as a baby reunion for the older 

classes, but it afforded a good opportunity 

to see various members of the class. 

Don't forget our drive for $1 from each 

member of our class. If you forward it to 

the above address I will see that it gets to 

the proper coffer.

This fall I was joined here in Des Moines 

by Mimi (Petermann) '59 and Alan Merrill 

'58, who are renting a cute little house at 

2832 36th St. with room enough for the new 

addition to their family—a big black Labrador 

retriever. Al is a salesman for Oscar 

Mayer Co. and Mimi is employed by a 

firm called Office Outfitters. She and I are 

taking education courses at Drake University 

this term. 

Another home economist out this way, 

Elizabeth Verney, MS '60, is in her second 

year of teaching in the foods department 

at Iowa State University. Her address at 

Ames is 103 Dal ores Apts. Asked her view 

on the common controversy between Cornell 

and Iowa State, Elizabeth admitted 

still holding a prejudiced belief in the excellence 

of Cornell's College of Home Economics. 

From Hawaii comes word that Joyce 

Kastner is now the social chairman at the 

Hanalei Plantation in Hanai, the fabulous 

new hotel owned by another Cornellian, 

Lyle Guslander '40. 

Other news this month comes from the 

East where Tom '59 and Beth (Dunbar) 

Day announced the arrival of their second 

child, Cynthia Evans, on Jan. 23. The Days 

live in Scarsdale at 34 Anderson Ave. 

A letter postmarked Brooklyn brought 

news from a person we haven't heard from 

for quite a while. After graduation Isa 

Kaftal fulfilled a life-long dream of going 

back across the ocean to her native land, 

Portugal. Now, after a year of traveling in 

Europe and Israel, she is back in New 

York working as an editor on a trade magazine, 

writing news and features and attending 

exciting press openings and conferences. 

She's also working for a master's 

in English at NYU. Her address is 1224 E. 

13th St., Brooklyn 30. 

And then there are those who have 

changed addresses. It's hard to keep up with 

Donna (Blair) Read—only last month I 

gave her "floating" address with the US 

Navy, but now she and husband Denny 

have settled down in Long Beach, Calif, at 

52 Bennett in a house which she describes 

as "like a rustic mountain cabin." Here's 

a new address in Cambridge, Mass., for 

Barb Baillet and, I think, Barb Theissen: 

88 Hancock St. 

If this column looks shorter than usual, 

that's 'cause it is. Any of you who like reading 

about others in the class and want to 

continue to do so, please send me a word 

or two about what you and your Cornell 

friends are doing. Thanks.
