says Hal Gatewood, Jr., C.L.U., Ohio State '55 

"The real challenge 

and excitement in my career is helping 

businessmen solve their problems/' 

"From the day I went with Mass 

Mutual 8 years ago, I started becoming 

an integral part of our professional and 

business community. 

"You see, a life insurance man just 

naturally becomes involved with his 

client's future. Many of my clients 

began describing their business problems 

along with their family needs. As 

a result I had to increase my technical 

studies. This broader field was tremendously 

interesting and exciting to me. 

Soon I found myself specializing in the 

application of life insurance to all 

phases of business, including pension 

and profit-sharing plans. 

"One of the things that appeals to me 

most about being in business for myself 

is this opportunity to specialize 

exactly where I find the greatest 

challenge and stimulation. 

"Of course, it helps a lot to be associated 

with a Company that has an elite 

reputation, over $3 billion in assets and 

is more than a century old. Mass 

Mutual has a large number of representatives 

throughout the United States 

who work much as I do. And believe 

both contracts and services to meet the 

demands of our growing market." 

If you think Hal Gatewood's career 

offers the kind of challenge and excitement 

you would enjoy . . . why not 

write our president for more details?

If Gene Kelly 

doesn't wait in line, 

why should you? 

This vacation, thousands of people 

will take the first flight of their lives. 

And if you're one of them, you 

probably won't mind waiting in line 

to check in. 

Or waiting 1O minutes to get your 

baggage back. 

You'll simply be too excited to care. 

Still, why should you have to wait? 

Gene Kelly doesn't. 

American happens to know all 

about travellers like Gene Kellymen 

who take planes 4O or 5O times a 

year—because they're the ones we 

built American for. 

We even put in a computer to keep 

Mr. Kelly's reservations straight on 

every trip he makes. 

And Louis Harris, whose opinion 

surveys are famous, found that these 

are the fliers that American got.They 

take American every time they have 

a choice. 

All of which makes it kind of nice 

for you, too. 

Because the family on vacation 

gets exactly the same service that 

Gene Kelly gets. 

They have to. 

If they take the same airline. 

American built an airline 

for professional travellers.

CHANGE OF PRINTERS 

...CHANGE OF TYPE 

• As the circulation of the NEWS has 

grown, the Alumni Ass'n Publications 

Committee and the staff have been 

troubled by the increasing amount of time 

required for printing. During the past two 

years several issues have taken as much 

as 10 working days from okayed proofs 

to mailing. The problem has been that 

the NEWS circulation was at an in-between 

point too big for the fastest 

presses available in Ithaca, yet too small 

for the economical use of high-speed 

offset printing. 

At their annual meeting last fall, the 

committee members studied circulation 

projections for 1966-67, compared bids 

from printers, and decided that the time 

for a change had arrived. The NEWS 

had to go to mass production. 

This issue will be the first from the 

giant web publication press of the Connecticut 

Printers, Inc., of Hartford. As 

this is written we're in the midst of production 

and there are many readjustments 

to be made. (Take time and distance. 

Hartford is 300 miles from 

Ithaca. We've been accustomed to four 

daily pickups and deliveries by our 

friends at the Cayuga Press, right down 

town on Green Street. Changing from 

that kind of service to the U.S. Mail is a 

horrid readjustment all by itself.) But 

when we get things ironed out our press 

time will be cut by 75 per cent. The 

NEWS, with a more up-to-date coverage 

of Cornell affairs, will be reaching you 

several days earlier. 

For the time being only a few changes 

are planned for the magazine. There's a 

new masthead just to the left and to 

older alumni the cartouche at its top may 

have a familiar look. It was taken from 

an old NEWS cover, drawn (gratis) by 

the late Andre Smith '02, and used continuously 

from 1911 to 1933. It last appeared 

on the 50th Anniversary Issue in 

1949. 

The letters columns have been moved 

to the front of the book, not only because 

it's customary to find them there, but also 

to give NEWS advertisers a better chance 

of attracting readers. 

The most important change is a new 

te^xt type. It is called Times Roman and 

was cut especially for The Times of London 

in the 'thirties. The designer's assignment 

was to achieve the best possible 

relationship between economy 

(characters per line) and legibility. 

Economy of type is easy to determine, 

legibility is something else again. The 

Times took no chances. Some 5,000 designs 

were reviewed by leading London 

ophthalmologists and the psychological 

Smith's durable cover. 

laboratory of Cambridge University before 

the final choice was made. The result, 

said Stanley Morison, the designer, 

"was a type of maximum legibility and 

minimum personality - which was just 

what The Times and the doctors ordered." 

The type's importer states the case 

for Times Roman in typographese: ". . . 

a letter which sits deeper on its body, sets 

narrower in a line, masses agreeably in 

area, prints black and full in all sizes and 

on all papers. Serifs have been preserved, 

but not exaggerated. Structural lines are 

stronger, but conjunctions have been left 

light to give the contrast necessary for 

rapid recognition. The letters mesh well, 

but each has its own channel of space, 

making possible rapid reception by the 

eye." 

To the NEWS this means that we can 

- and we have - set our text one size 

smaller. 

To Class Correspondents: Forgive us. 

We need the space and you do too. The 

new type is the same size as Brown and 

Dartmouth class notes, larger than Yale, 

Harvard and Princeton. 

This has been as nasty a Tompkins 

County spring as anyone can remember.

LETTERS 

Professor Strikes Back 

EDITOR: I should like to reply to H. Jackson 

Dorney '50 (ALUMNI NEWS, April, 1966) 

who turned in his Secondary School Committee 

kit because he felt the Cornell faculty 

was neglecting undergraduate education. 

Because there are many men like me on 

the Cornell faculty, it seems to me relevant 

merely to cite my "diary" for the past year 

to indicate the attention the undergraduate 

does receive here at Cornell. 

First, let me identify myself (without 

adding my name). I am a full professor in 

the College of Arts & Sciences. I do research; 

this year two books and two articles 

appeared. I teach Freshmen, Sophomores, 

Juniors, and Seniors, together with four 

graduate students who are majoring in my 

specialty. I also have a wife and four children. 

During the past academic year I have 

had the following "personal" contacts with 

Cornell students: 

I addressed the Freshman Orientation 

counselors (one full morning). 

I addressed the entering Freshmen. 

In my large lecture course (250 students), 

I have taught every section (there 

are 16) twice during each term so that the 

students would be able to meet with me in 

a somewhat less formal manner than the 

Lecture Hall. 

I have attended eight dinners given by 

my students in fraternities, sororities or living 

units. 

I gave a weekly seminar for five weeks 

to interested students. This program was 

sponsored by the Women's Honorary Society 

and was completely voluntary on both 

the students' and my part. There was no 

credit for the course. This took one evening 

per week for this period. 

I have been invited to and attended three 

meetings of students concerned with their 

education and who wanted to hear what a 

member of the faculty had to say. These 

were always at someone's apartment, were 

attended by no less than twenty students 

and lasted the entire evening. 

In closing I might add that I am also an 

alumnus of Cornell and can make a valid 

comparison between the education I received 

here and the educating being done 

by the faculty today. I feel that no parent 

or student is being defrauded by Cornell. 

There is ample opportunity for studentfaculty 

contact and even some chance of a 

student getting an education. 

ITHACA 

-NAME WITHHELD 

Alumni Trustee Elections 

EDITOR: A few days ago I received the 

names of the proposed alumni trustees to 

be voted upon this year. I was amazed at 

two of the names suggested by the Committee 

on Alumni Trustee Nominations. 

How the committee can recommend 

alumni for trustee who either refused to work 

on the Centennial Campaign or did not accept 

leadership positions and were inactive 

or did not give generously commensurate 

with their ability and potential is shocking. 

There are a great many notable and prominent 

alumni who gave as they should and 

worked hard and vigorously who should 

be honored with such a nomination. The 

committee has done a poor job when 50% 

have no business being suggested. 

It will be interesting and perhaps ironic 

to see the results of the balloting and a 

gross miscarriage of justice if the two not 

worthy should be elected. Cornell, as all 

educational institutions, needs money, but 

this continued inept way of rewarding those 

who should not be rewarded will not bring 

about the very necessary improvement in 

Cornell's fund raising methods. The alumni 

segment of the Centennial Campaign was 

nowhere near the success it should have 

been, and one reason was because some 

who should have led and participated did 

not, and now are suggested for trustee. 

Poor show, poor show. 

SARASOTA, FLA. - JOHN W. GATLING '28 

EDITOR: In the same mail, I received from 

Cornell its ballot for electing the Alumni 

Trustees and from Harvard its ballot for 

electing Members of the Board of Overseers. 

I assume the positions are at least roughly 

comparable. 

I was gratified at the breadth of choice 

given to Harvard alumni and appalled at 

what Cornell offered. Let me say, imme- 


diately that I have no personal acquaintance 

with any of the nominees in either case, and 

with respect to the Cornellians, I intend not 

the slightest suggestion of doubt as to either 

their integrity or ability. 

Nevertheless all of the Cornell nominees 

are from the business world with little suggestion 

of interests outside that community. 

Why do we not have an opportunity to elect 

an outstanding government official, a newspaperman, 

an artist, a liberal, a scientist, 

or an educator? It seems unthinkable that 

the trustees of a great university should not 

include representatives of these disciplines. 

It is no answer to say that this levening 

may be supplied to the Board from some 

other source. The purpose of the ballot is 

for the exercise of a democratic influence. 

Cornell alumni have little enough share 

in the selection of the university's trustees. 

We should certainly have a broad enough 

basis so that some rationale of selections is 

available. It would follow that an alumni 

trustee would then have some sense of mandate 

to represent the point of view that his 

background expresses. Through this most 

devious route the alumni might indeed have 

some slight influence on the course of the 

university. 

One more horrid thought keeps gnawing 

at my vitals: Suppose there were some correlation 

between the size of an alumnus's 

contribution and his nomination. But, I suppose, 

the blackness of this thought should 

have been spared even this exposure. 

- GERRIT C. CONGER '37 

FALLS CHURCH, VA. 

[The following letters were addressed to the 

Alumni Association with copies to the 

NEWS.-ED.] 

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION: Since I suspect that 

my problem, upon receiving the annual 

alumni ballot for election of trustees, is not 

unique, I will take up your time, and mine, 

with the complaint. In many years, I find 

that my knowledge of the nominees for the 

posts of alumni trustees, are known to me 

only through the brochure which accompanies 

the ballot. This, I realize, can not be 

helped. But the information in the brochure, 

while giving a good view of the candidate's 

"status" tends to reveal little else. It certainly 

gives no inkling of how the nominees 

may feel on some of the major issues which 

face Cornell, and all major universities, in 

these rather tumultuous days for American 

higher education. 

What do the candidates see as the role of 

the university in this era? Do they think this 

role should be changing? What about the 

degree of student freedom, as compared to 

the degree of regulation? More? Less? What 

about the problems of research vs classroom 

skills? Do they have opinions on the 

question of bigness and the issue of "dehumanizing?" 

This list serves merely to 

suggest a few of the more obvious questions 

in the field today. 

I feel that it is important to me to know 

something of a candidate's general attitude 

and approach to these types of questions. 

In broad terms, I would like to know 

whether he thinks Cornell has struck a good 

balance between "liberalism" and "conservatism." 

(Admittedly unsatisfactory words, 

but they should serve to make my point.) 

I would like to have the opportunity to 

vote for a trustee on the basis of my opinion 

for the warm days ahead

basis of his status on various boards of corporation 

directors. 

I suggest that in working up the brochures 

which are mailed with the ballots, 

the nominees be invited to submit statements 

outlining their views on one or two 

significant questions pertinent to the university's 

role. It should be made clear that 

the readers do not expect neat answers to 

weighty problems, but rather, that we seek 

to know a man's approach to problems. To 

know the values he holds, on the basis of 

which he will make important decisions. 

If we take seriously the privilege of voting 

for a trustee of the university we surely 

need to know more about the candidates

If there are other, easier techniques for 

conveying more information, this would be 

fine. The point is there is little that many 

of us can do personally to know the nominees. 

Therefore, we call on the Standing

will govern the university. 

-ELINOR (SCHATZKIN) MULTER'49 

COLTS NECK, N.J. 

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION: I am returning my 

ballot for alumni trustees unmarked because 

I am unable to make a decision on the basis 

of the information provided. Believe me, I 

tried; but I have not been able to discover 

an unambiguous criterion which I can apply 

to the descriptions of the five candidates. 

Lacking any statements from the candidates 

themselves on their views of the university, 

its plans for the future, or their 

philosophies of education, I turned to the 

comments of their sponsors for guidance. 

Four of the five candidates have shown 

"interest" in the university ranging from 

"faithful" to "long." I thought, perhaps, 

that I could rule out Mr. Bovay on the basis 

of implied lack of interest, but further study 

shows that his sponsors find that his 

". . . devotion . . . uniquely qualifies 

him . . ." None of the others has earned 

the description of "unique" although 

Messrs. Grίesedieck and Montague are 

thought to be potentially "excellent" and 

"valuable" respectively. 

Other possible criteria were examined. 

Fraternity affiliations were listed for three 

candidates, but since none of these had belonged 

to my fraternity, I rejected this 

means of selection as not being sufficiently 

discriminating to serve its purpose. I noticed 

that two of the five had graduated in odd 

numbered years, as had I. But further study 

showed that one of these was an engineer 

(I was not) and had apparently started in 

an even year. So even this objective criterion 

was not unambiguous. 

I had once drunk Falstaff beer and did 

not find it to my liking. I thought to eliminate 

one candidate on this basis. But this 

would not have been fair since I have never 

eaten on a Greyhound Bus nor sampled 

the quality of engineering consultants in 

Houston. 

Perhaps the Alumni Association could 

provide numerical weights for activities, 

and we could add these up. For example 

the director, Houston Chamber of Commerce, 

might be worth 3 points; director, 

St. Louis Symphony Society-2 points, etc. 

But where does the Rotary belong on this 

scale? I do not feel qualified to judge. 

I realize that it is not the fashion these 

days to admit that one is not qualified to 

vote in an election. But it is apparently true. 

I can't make up my mind. Can you?

BRUNSWICK, ME. 

The Hypocritical Liberals 

EDITOR: I was incensed and outraged at the 

attitudes presented by Professor Dowd and 

Altschuler recently, as well as the editorials 

in the Cornell Sun, as concerns fraternities. 

I completely fail to see why fraternities 

must "justify" their rights to remain on the 

Cornell campus. 

It certainly is very hypocritical of these 

liberals who prate about human rights, civil 

liberties, etc. but completely seek to deny 

these rights to organizations of which they 

do not approve. As long as fraternity men 

maintain the educational standards set by 

Cornell, it certainly seems to me that their 

voluntary associations and social behavior 

is of no concern to the Sun or the Cornell 

faculty. If Dean Carlίng can be quoted in a 

front page story in the New York Times, 

concerning women students, "we don't ask 

what they do and don't want to know. We 

don't ask because the girls are presumed 

to be responsible. We know that all are not 

responsible," why should fraternities be 

singled out? Why is justification not sought 

concerning the notorious apartment party 

situation? 

It certainly is about time that the Cornell 

faculty recognized the value of loyal Cornell 

alumni and of fraternities in general. If they 

do not want students to become faceless 

cogs in an impersonal factory, the part 

played by fraternities in providing a core of 

belonging and a center of activities should 

be admitted. It is also a known fact that 

most valuable alumni activities, interviewing 

prospective students, fund raising and 

spending time on committees helping Cornell 

are done almost entirely by fraternity 

men. 

As a loyal Cornellian, I resent my fraternity 

being maligned and the whole Cornell 

way of life being torn apart. Rather 

than seeking more and more "permissiveness" 

for students, I think the role of fraternities 

should be strengthened in keeping 

Cornell on the right track. 

ROSLYN HEIGHTS - RICHARD LANDSMAN '48 

Students Are Adolescents 

EDITOR: It is with some dismay that I read 

of the increasing role of Cornell University 

as a leading center for the "indulgent" generation. 

A page one feature article in the 

New York Times of April 25, 1966, highlighted 

the problems of "limit setting" on 

the part of university officials. 

As a practicing psychiatrist who spends a 

great deal of time working with college age 

adolescents I find it most unfortunate that 

issues of social justice and academic freedom 

are being confused with the need for 

impulse control and an awareness of personal 

responsibility. It does not require 

formal psychiatric training to realize the 


inherent dangers in a society where the 

postponement of immediate gratification has 

been equated with the deprivation of personal 

freedom. 

It is my belief that university officials 

bear most responsibility in this matter. At 

Cornell, the motto, "Freedom with Responsibility" 

appears to have changed to "indulgence 

without responsibility." The setting of 

limits is an inherent ingredient of any group 

living situation, whether it be country, family, 

or university. University officials have 

been behaving much like parents in many 

of our wealthier suburbs. They have lost 

their collective ability to say "no," and by 

so doing they have reflected their own inadequacies 

and impotence. The adolescent 

therefore finds himself in the unique position 

of setting his own limits with the result 

that drugs, narcotics, alcoholism and 

abortion have become the rallying points 

and status symbols of the "new breed." 

It is the responsibility of university officials 

to set limits for adolescent behavior, 

and though it be a disconcerting thought to 

some, college students are adolescents. 

If university officials also relinquish their 

responsibility to students, then university 

administration has lost its reason (for existence). 

The time has come for Cornell officials 

to ascertain what their responsibilities are. 

In the spirit of President Perkins' recent 

statements, it is a time for evaluation and 

new direction. That direction should include,

MR. KANE: I received my copy of the April 

ALUMNI NEWS today and was dumbfounded 

to read of Joe De Libero's death. 

When one spends two hours a day for 

four years in the presence of people like 

Joe, Tom, Dick, Doc and Eddie you can't 

help but have a special feeling for this group 

and the passing of one. I know my sentiment 

must be felt by others as they read the 

news. 

Joe kept us laughing when it wasn't so 

easy to laugh and I hope that a suggestion 

for a few kind words in the ALUMNI NEWS 

by you or someone in your organization is 

not out of line. 

For those of us with happy memories it 

would make it all worthwhile.

MARCELLO 

MALPIGHI 

AND THE EVOLUTION 

OF EMBRYOLOGY 

By HOWARD B. ADELMANN 

Professor of Histology and Embryology, Cornell University 

THIS monumental study, the product of twenty 

years of research, focuses on the life and 

work of Marcello Malpighi, the seventeenthcentury 

Italian scientist whose extraordinary 

achievements make him one of the cardinal figures 

in the history of biology. The core of the 

book is the first English translation of Malpighi's 

two revolutionary dissertations on the development 

of the chick. Supplementing the translation 

are twenty-eight excursuses which trace major 

developments in embryological research up to the 

time modern concepts began to emerge. The excursuses 

include long excerpts — in the original 

language and in English translation — from the 

classic works of such figures as Pierre Gassendi, 

Albrecht von Haller, Caspar Friedrich Wolff, and 

Carl Ernst von Baer. The book also contains the 

first full-scale biography of Malpighi in English 

and the first in any language since 1847. 

As a chief resource in the study of the history of 

science, and as a work of exceptional value to 

biologists, Marcello Malpighi and the Evolution 

of Embryology will serve as an essential reference 

in libraries around the world. It will, moreover, 

be a treasured addition to the finest personal collections.

for the Eastern Championship and that 

Cornell had defeated Clarkson only once 

in fifteen contests, and that in 1926. And 

that's where I come in. By the grace of 

Nicky Bawlf and the absence in those years 

of Canadian competitors on the squad, I was 

a member of that 1926 team. 

Little had I realized what a great team we 

must have been that year! To defeat Clarkson 

when the recent superb teams couldn't 

do it! But kidding aside, Clarkson must 

have had an off year in 1926 for we were 

surely no great shakes in the hockey world. 

The week following the Clarkson victory, 

Dartmouth pasted us 12 to 1. I well remember 

that day. What a bunch of bruisers! 

Five of the six were also members of Dartmouth's 

champion football team of the previous 

fall, including a couple of All-Americans. 

Their smallest man was about ten 

pounds over our biggest. And our skates 

were too sharp for the condition of the ice 

(or was it too dull?). The other two seniors 

on that team were Ben Tilton, a really 

good center, who was killed in an aeroplane 

crash a few years later, and Shorty Aronson, 

an amazing combination of hockey 

wing and varsity crew coxswain. He is now 

a prominent lawyer in Syracuse (and Judge, 

I believe). 

We had certain "advantages" in those 

days. We operated on an open air rinkon 

Beebe Lake where we lived with the vicissitudes 

of Ithaca's winter weather. And we 

cleaned and scraped our own ice which was 

marvellous exercise. Best of all, we were 

blessed with a remarkable coach, as apparently 

the boys are now. Nicky Bawlf gave 

us as useful tutelage as any professor. 

It was indeed a pleasure to see the status 

of hockey at Cornell now. The sport really 

deserves its popularity. And Lynah Rink 

is a fine facility. I hope the squad - and the 

spectators - appreciate it. It's a far cry from 

good old Beebe!

The Cornell Spirit 

EDITOR: May I tell you how much I enjoyed 

the article in your April issue entitled 

"Wilder-What Should be Said to Earnest 

and Thoughtful Students?" Although much 

of it is devoted to Agassiz and Wilder, the 

author has touched upon the key to Cornell's 

greatness when he stated, "It was 

within this broad intellectual and cultural 

framework that Ezra Cornell, Andrew Dickson 

White, and the Morrill Land Grant Act 

gave birth to Cornell University. It was an 

event that the American historian Allan 

Nevins has referred to as 'the most remarkable 

phenomenon in higher education* 

during the postwar (Civil War) decade.' " 

I wonder how many Cornellians realize 

what a great heritage our university has. 

How many realize what big, clear-thinking, 

forwuH-looking, truth-seeking and devoted 

men Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson 

White were? 

It was my good fortune to be at Cornell 

while Andrew Dickson White was still living, 

and my great honor occasionally to 

usher him to his pew in Sage Chapel. He 

was a wonderful and devout man. Later I 

was presented with his famous A History 

of the Warfare of Science with Theology, 

to which Mr. Corson refers in his article 

and which I found most enlightening. This 

classic should be read by all Cornellians. In 

my humble opinion the introduction at least 

should be required reading for all members 

of the Board of Trustees and Faculty. Without 

this background, or its equivalent, no 

one can realize the proud position and the 

true spirit of Cornell. 

I wish to express my thanks to Mr. Corson 

for his interesting story and, particularly, 

for his reminding us of the precious 

gift involved in the founding of Cornell. 

DREXEL HILL, PA. - KARL G. KRECH '21 

Image Defended 

EDITOR: Professor Donald Kagan's article 

on "The Constitutional Crisis in the Modern 

University" is indeed interesting. However 

I feel compelled to comment on his reference 

to the business corporation. My concern 

is not with his point that the university 

is not like a business corporation but rather 

with the impression it leaves about the business 

corporation. The corporate image has 

taken a beating of late and it is most unfortunate 

when anything less than the full 

challenge of industry is laid before students, 

faculty and alumni. 

To be specific Professor Kagan states: 

"The business corporation must make a 

product or perform a service and show a 

profit. The problems of management although 

by no means simple, are ultimately 

technical. How can the job be done better, 

cheaper, faster? They require intelligence, 

experience and judgment but they are different 

in nature from the problems confronting 

the administrators of a university." 

While probably not the intent the inference 

here is that if you just build faster a 

better, cheaper mouse trap the profits roll 

in. Nothing could be further from the realities 

of the situation. A few examples follow: 

1. Consider the task of organizing, training 

and leading a force of 100,000, 200,000 

or 300,000 men and women of all races and 

creeds represented by a multiplicity of unions. 

Nothing is "ultimately technical" in 

this problem. 

2. Consider the development of products, 

many of which represent breakthroughs in 

scientific knowledge. A good example are 

the synthetic fibers which required management 

leadership of the highest order to 

bring to commercialization. 

3. Consider the long range (10, 15, 20 

years) planning of products based on 

changes in consumer demand, changes in 

technology that may eliminate the products 

and you find monumental problems in longterm 

business judgment. 

4. Consider the intricacies of global finances 

with all manner of currency and 

banking restrictions. There is nothing "better, 

cheaper and faster" in this activity. 

Workers in industry's vineyard will be 

well aware of additions that could be made 

to this list. Unfortunately the real romance 

and challenge of industry has not been sufficiently 

publicized. 

Cornell can take great pride in the outstanding 

graduates who have been in the 

forefront of business and industrial progress. 

The opportunity to men seeking careers 

in business corporations has never 

been greater and can challenge the finest 

men the university can graduate.

"A FUNNY 

THING ..." 

• An inscription over the entrance to the Theatre 

Royal, Copenhagen, informs incoming patrons 

that the works there presented are, "Not 

only for entertainment." 

It must be confessed that the average Cornell 

attitude toward the theatre—outside of the 

drama department—is a little less solemn. 

Years ago, according to University Historian 

Morris Bishop, when plays were presented at 

the Wilgus Opera House on the second floor of 

Rothschild's Department Store, a brass rail separated 

the front row from the stage. Front row 

occupants used to rest their feet on it. One evening, 

eight students chalked large letters on 

their shoe soles during intermission. When the 

curtain rose, the actors read the message: 

"THIS SHOW IS ROTTEN." 

Panacea's (Bonnie Carroll '67) Roman-style tίc-tac-toe draws 

fascinated attention from Psuedolus ... 

The university theatre's main occupants—the 

Cornell Dramatic Club—have nonetheless managed 

a serious contribution to the American 

Stage, supplying some noteworthy actors, playwrights, 

directors, producers, and scenic artists. 

It is fairly evident, then, that theatre at Cornell 

(both at Willard Straight Theatre and the 

Drummond Studio in Lincoln Hall) is an important 

educational adjunct, for student participants 

and audiences alike. The roster of plays 

performed shows that Cornellians and Ithacans 

have had made available to them a number of 

important productions they might otherwise 

have missed—and a fair collection of saucy 

theatrical antics besides. 

A recent production of the musical play* "A 

Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the 

Forum," is likely to be historic in terms of its 

success. Excellently performed by students under 

the direction of a Visiting Drama Professor, 

Richard C. Shank, it provided a scholarly lesson 

for the actors; and the audience which watched 

its extended run of fourteen performances was 

quite obviously delighted by it.

A funny thing occurs to the play's director, Richard C. Shank and asssistant during a rehearsal 

"A FUNNY 

THING ..." 

• Is a Broadway musical proper fare for a university theatre? 

Let us quote the director of the Cornell production of "A 

Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," Richard 

C. Shank, who specializes in opera and musical plays: "The 

contemporary theatre, as a mirror of its time, presents us with 

a period which seems truly Out of joint'—through its psychological 

melodramas, pointless domestic plots, and the disturbing 

adventures of the absurdists. We are pictured as drawing 

farther into our isolated cells, leaving less opportunity for contact 

through those humanists' qualities which for centuries 

have reassured man of his identity. 

"One of those qualities is the inimitably human trait of 

humor. If Aristotle's second book of the Poetics, which dealt 

with comedy, had not been lost, it probably would have 

served as a guidebook to 'A Funny Thing .. .'In fact the style 

of this musical unashamedly incorporates many devices from 

several of the great comic traditions, including Greek New 

Comedy, the commedia delΓarte, and our own vaudeville. 

"The thread which runs in common through all these traditions, 

beginning with Aristotle's reference to the Phallika, is 

man's honest, uninhibited investigation of his universal 

"vices" through lampoonery. And one suspects that when the 

'body politic' of the audience openly laughs in unison at those 

aspects which it shares by nature, there is a movement back 

again towards the warmth of identification with the human 

race. This may explain, in part, the unusually enthusiastic 

reception accorded this seemingly atypical musical."

"A FUNNY

• Throughout rehearsals of "A Funny Thing . . .*' students 

kept discovering literary aspects of the play that bore direct 

relation to their own liberal studies. They learned, also, a 

good deal of the history of comedy, and under Professor 

Shank's direction turned it all into hilarious entertainment. 

Professor Shank adds more reasons why this was an educational 

musical: "The authors, Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart, 

place the action in the classic street setting of Roman 

comedy in spring some 200 years before the Christian era 

(paying ail due respect, of course, to the enshrined literary 

unities). The scattering of songs and dances throughout by 

Stephen Sondheim is in strict keeping with the ancient form. 

The audience is treated to a continuous parade of venerable 

comic designs: the prologue, the thwarted young lover, the 

ominous pimp who controls the object of the former's affection, 

a wealthy rival, the pompous soldier, asides, soliloquies, 

the wronged old father, the domineering mother, tempting 

courtesans, mistaken identities, eunuchs, zany servants, kidnapped 

children and so forth, until finally the inevitable chase 

clears the air and innocence and goodness prevail while evil 

wins its 'just deserts.' "

Alumni Trustee Reports: 

Alumni trustees of the university are 

required by the bylaws of the Cornell 

Alumni Association to report to the association 

when their terms of office expire. 

The terms of Frederic C. Wood '24 

and Juan J. Martinez '27 expire June 30. 

Their reports: 

BY FREDERIC C. WOOD '24 

• Representing you for ten years as a 

Trustee, the communications I have received 

suggest that this report might appropriately 

sum up my personal appraisal 

of some of the current problems which face 

Cornell. 

As to the students about which there is 

much talk and publicity, I have no great 

concern. In spite of a scattering of barefoot, 

bearded beatniks, our students today are 

better prepared, more mature, and work 

harder for education than did the students 

of my generation. Their morals are probably 

about the same, but their honesty about 

them is more wholesome, though sometimes 

shocking. 

Cornell has a distinguished faculty. I am 

not concerned about the shades of pink 

shown by some. The overall spectrum of 

liberals and conservatives is probably constant 

over the years, varying only with the 

national averages. The recent self study 

made by the faculty, reported in condensed 

form in the ALUMNI NEWS, is illustrative 

of the honesty of this group in examining 

how well it is carrying out its primary purpose. 

In the current eddies of the educational 

waters, Cornell is fortunate to have Dr. 

Perkins as a pilot. The new tides are many. 

There is a shift of balance between public 

and private education with the latter declining. 

There may be regional and national 

planning of educational programs to fit together 

the colleges and universities. The 

nature of the first two years of undergraduate 

work in a university will probably 

change materially. The arts college in the 

university is growing more unlike the small 

liberal arts college. Conceivably the great 

universities may decentralize geographically 

to place their professional students in areas 

where they can get the best "clinical" training. 

For guidance through these problems, 

we have an excellent leader. 

In planning the future of Cornell, I do 

have concern that this planning be adequately 

coordinated. It must start with an 

assumed ultimate student population and 

its make-up - the ratio of undergraduates to 

graduates - the number of men and women. 

Coupled with this must be a planned educational 

program-the proportions of the 

various colleges and professional schools, 

and the direction in which they are going. 

The planning of physical facilities must follow 

these determinations and not precede 

them. The physical plant should be a "tight" 

ship-no larger than the need. Equally important 

is advanced planning of the capital 

fund requirements and sources. This includes 

prudence in "borrowing" these funds. 

Similarly there should be advance planning 

of operating expenses and income. Such coordinated 

planning is in my opinion essential 

to good management and a good future. 

Such coordinated planning, however, requires 

effort, patience, determination, and 

some good "guessing," though an educated 

guess is better than no guess at all. The socalled 

"soft" money that is presently available 

for education and the terrific pressures 

for expansion are not conducive to such 

planning. The idea is not popular. It is the 

great responsibility of the Trustees to make 

sure that the pattern of growth which Cornell 

follows in the future is one in which all 

of these elements are coordinated. 

It has been a great experience for me to 

have been an Alumni Trustee for ten years, 

and I again wish to express my gratitude to 

you. I hope I have served you well. 

BY JUAN J. MARTINEZ '27 

• One of the greatest honors I have received 

was my election as Alumni Trustee 

of Cornell University. I regarded my election 

as an expression of my fellow alumni 

of their desire to expand the universality of 

our alma mater. It was a great satisfaction 

to see Cornell lead the great universities of 

the United States by electing a citizen of 

another country to its Board of Trustees. In 

our constantly shrinking planet, where the 

necessity of closer cooperation between nations 

becomes more evident every day, this 

move was most opportune. No longer can 

any one nation afford to isolate itself from 

the rest of the world, no matter how rich or 

how poor, or how prosperous or how decadent, 

or how powerful or how weak, it 

may be. 

Cornell, in keeping with the times, had 

established International Studies' Centers 

and had also been moving towards a closer 

relationship with its cousins south of the 

Rio Grande. Under Professor Holmberg, it 

had launched an ambitious and successful 

program for the development of a peasant 

Indian region in the Andes, in Peru, and 

later sent some of its students on missions 

of smaller magnitude to Honduras. 

To top all this, a Latin American Year 

was scheduled to take place at Cornell during 

the present scholastic year. Notable 

persons have come to Ithaca and interesting 

conferences, discussions and exhibits of 

Latin American policies, culture and art 

have taken place. But, enough of this, I wish 

to devote a few lines to other more important 

events in the life of Cornell. 

Dr. Deane Malott retired as President 

of the University in 1963. During his term 

of office the university experienced a tremendous 

physical growth, in which President 

Malott played a major role. As a tribute 

to his achievements, the Trustees elected 

him President Emeritus and named the new 

building housing the School of Business and 

Public Administration, Malott Hall. 

President Malott was succeeded by Dr. 

James Perkins, a man with a distinguished 

career and a tremendous personality. The 

first major move of President Perkins was 

to ask the Board of Trustees to approve a 

general increase in salaries for the members 

of the faculty. This was imperative because 

Cornell was lagging considerably behind 

the other major universities in the country 

in this aspect, and Cornell, who always has 

excelled in the quality of its professorship 

could ill afford to lose some of its distinguished 

teachers. President Perkins has also 

continued the policy of former President 

Malott in constantly revising the organization 

of the administration of the university 

to enable it to carry out more efficiently its 

functions. Accordingly, the office of Vice 

Provost was established and new Vice Presidents 

were appointed. 

Cornell celebrated its one hundred years 

of existence with a number of academic 

functions, to which were invited representatives 

of universities from all over the world. 

The various ceremonies were most impressive 

and proved the respect that Cornell 

commands in this country and abroad. A 

seventy-three million dollar fund raising 

drive paralleled these celebrations. This 

drive, so ably directed by Trustee Jansen 

Noyes, was topped. 

During my term of office, I served in the 

Audit Committee for one year and in the 

Buildings and Properties Committee for two 

years. In the Audit Committee I could appreciate 

the tenacious efforts of the administrative 

officers to keep the economic and 

financial affairs of the university in order. 

I was initiated in the Buildings and Properties 

Committee by a most able and charming 

person holding the chair, Mrs. Hugh 

Mackey. The work of the Buildings and 

Properties Committee is so important that 

two years ago it was decided that its chairman 

should become an ex-officio member 

of the Executive Committee of the Board 

of Trustees. Tremendous problems face the 

university in this field: adequate and modern 

buildings for teaching and research have 

to be constantly added; housing facilities 

and recreational centers for the students 

have to be provided; parking facilities and 

traffic solutions have to be found; etc. They 

will all be taken care of, I am sure, in due 

time. 

To close, I wish to recommend that Cornell 

establish a tradition to have at all times 

a non-citizen of the United States in its 

Board of Trustees. Preferably, this person 

should be, unlike myself, an outstanding 

scholar and a humanist. My only regret is 

that my lack of these attributes prevented 

me from serving Cornell to the extent I 

wished and that it deserves.

A CONCISE HISTORY OF RUSSIAN ART by 

Tamara Talbot Rice. Praeger. 1963. 

Our idea of Russian Art is usually 

based on many misconceptions: that it is 

essentially an offshoot of Byzantine forms, 

that it had little contact with the West 

until Peter the Great, that it was "behind 

the times" from the Renaissance right up 

to our own time. Mrs. Talbot, in this 

beautiful little paperback—a bargain at 

$3.95—dispels these ideas, shows the astonishing 

variety of Russian art, its close 

relation to the various national styles of 

the West, its own national and regional 

forms, and finally, its importance to the 

art of our own time. 

Although the Icons are clearly influenced 

by Byzantine models, the church 

architecture reflects Romanesque forms. 

Italian, French, and even Scotch architects 

worked in Russia before and after 

Peter the Great, producing great churches 

and palaces that equal the baroque buildings 

of Western Europe. Before the counter-revolutionary 

era following Lenin's 

death, Russia's part in the development 

of Modern Art is demonstrated by names 

such as Kandinski, Chagall, Malevich. 

VIET NAM, HISTORY, DOCUMENTS, AND 

OPINIONS ON A MAJOR WORLD CRISIS. 

Edited by Marvin E. Gettleman. Fawcett. 

1965. 

Here is a collection of expert opinion 

on this puzzling issue. To be puzzled is 

not a sufficient reaction; but to take a 

stand one needs to be informed, and reading 

our daily papers does not help much 

these days. This book should help some: 

it traces the background of the present 

conflict; it shows the various roles played 

by various parties, nations, religions; it 

contains the documents that are constantly 

referred to by proponents and 

opponents of our "participation" in this 

war. Discuss the issues, take sides, but 

inform yourself. It might help us all. 

THE CORONATION OF CHARLEMAGNE. 

WHAT DID IT SIGNIFY? by Richard E. 

Sullivan. D.C. Heath. 1959. 

This little book seems to me to be a 

model history: the first few pages are 

essentially "primary sources," documents 

of Charlemagne's contemporary chroniclers. 

These are followed by excellent 

commentaries of modern historians, 

scholars such as Henri Pirenne, who 

show the various methods and estimates 

of historians reflecting on one of those 

events in European history that changed 

the character of politics, geography and 

society so radically that the effects are 

still felt. 

Most surprisingly, this little book was 

my daughter's, who is reading it in her 

sophomore year at Ithaca High. Who's 

complaining?

ever-growing interest and expectations on 

the part of our society. He cited the establishment 

of a staff dedicated to public 

affairs at Cornell as indicative of the 

university's recognition of its new responsibilities 

and expressed the belief 

that Cornell will "remain free to experi-

Cornellians Lead 

Yugoslav Project 

Now that Yugoslavia has rebuilt after 

World War II, she is ready to begin on 

urban re-renewal, in the form of a newlycreated 

Yugoslav National Center for 

Regional & Urban Planning in Ljubljana, 

Yugoslavia. Planning experts from Yugoslavia, 

Cornell, and two other American 

universities are laying the groundwork 

for the institute. Professor Jack C. 

Fisher, city and regional planning, and 

assistant director of the Center for Regional 

Studies, is overall director of the 

pilot project, and the Yugoslavian project 

director is Vladimir Music, now associated 

with the City Planning Institute of 

the Republic of Slovenia. 

The project got underway on March 25 

with a meeting at Cornell at which Music 

acquainted American planners with the 

Ljubljana area, its past planning efforts 

and problems and its hopes for the future. 

Attending the meeting from Cornell 

were: Thomas W. Mackesey, Grad, 

vice provost; Dean Burnham Kelly, College 

of Architecture; Glenn H. Beyer, 

director of the center for housing & environmental 

studies; Kermit C. Parsons, 

MRP '53, chairman of the city & regional 

planning department, College of 

Architecture; Gordon P. Fisher, associate 

dean of the College of Engineering; Professor 

Robert McGinnis, sociology, chairman 

of the advisory committee of the division 

for regional studies; Professor 

George J. Staller, AM '55, economics; 

Richard Yung, senior research associate, 

sociology; and Professor Ned Rosen, 

School of Industrial & Labor Relations. 

Also attending the meeting were representatives 

of Berkeley, the University of 

Chicago, the US State Department, and 

the Ford Foundation. 

The major purpose of the project, 

which will consist of seminars and field 

work, is "to advance the knowledge and 

technical abilities of Yugoslav social scientists 

and planners," Fisher said. It is 

hoped that the Center will eventually 

have both training and research functions, 

emphasizing an interprofessional 

approach to planning. Said Fisher, "a further 

objective of both Yugoslav and 

American participants is to evolve gradually 

the basis for a broad international 

program in urban and regional studies." 

Professor Efraim Racker 

Einstein Professor 

Appointed 

Dr. Efraim Racker, a biochemist and 

authority on metabolism, has been appointed 

Albert Einstein Professor of 

Biochemistry at the university, effective 

September 1. The professorship was recently 

established by the state legislature, 

which allocates $100,000 annually to 

support it and pay related costs. 

Dr. Racker, who received his MD 

degree from the University of Vienna in 

1938, is presently chief of the department 

of biochemistry at the Public Health 

Research Institute of the City of New 

York, Inc. At Cornell he will be chairman 

of the biochemistry and molecular 

biology section of the recently formed 

Division of Biological Sciences. 

Dr. Robert S. Morison, director of 

the Division, said he is "delighted" that 

Dr. Racker will be joining the faculty. 

"Not only will he strengthen our staff 

by bringing himself to Cornell; his plan 

to come has made it much easier to recruit 

our next generation of faculty members. 

After Dr. Racker's appointment became 

a probability, seven other professorial 

appointments were made in biochemistry 

and molecular biology and 

three others in closely related fields." 

Dr. Racker was among the first to 

recognize the value of spectrophotometric 

analysis of enzyme action in metabolism. 

Although his work has been 

primarily in the field of enzymology focused 

on the ways in which enzymes aid 

in producing body energy, he has also 

helped elucidate the metabolism of tumor 

(cancer) cells. He is a member of 

the National Academy of Sciences. 

Glee Club 

In CLAY Concert 

The Cornell University Glee Club returned 

from its world tour just in time 

for its performance in the May 10 world 

premiere of "America, no en vano invocamos 

tu nombre" (America, we do not 

invoke thy name in vain), a cantata by 

the Chilean composer Juan Orrego- 

Salas. The work, performed in Bailey 

Hall with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, 

was commissioned by the Cornell 

Latin American Year and is based 

on texts by Pablo Neruda, a Chilean 

poet. Flor Garcia, soprano, and Laurence 

Bogue, baritone, were guest soloists. 

In Chile, Orrego-Salas has been professor 

of composition at the National 

Conservatory and has won the Biennial 

Chilean Music Festival award in three 

consecutive periods. He is currently directing 

the Latin-American Music Center 

at Indiana University. 

Pianist Ralph Votapek, winner of the 

first International Van Cliburn Competition, 

was heard in a performance of 

Leon Kirchner's "Concerto for Piano 

and Orchestra, No. 2" with the composer 

conducting. Karel Husa conducted 

the cantata and his own "Mosaiques," 

and Lukas Foss, music director of the 

Buffalo Philharmonic, conducted "A 

22 Cornell A lumni News

Centennial Overture" by Robert Palmer 

and Elliott Carter's "Symphonic Variations." 

The concert and a colloquium on 

May 9 with all the composers were sponsored 

by the Cornell Latin American 

Year. 

Trustees Adopt 

Record Budget 

The Board of Trustees has adopted a 

record $149,722,702 budget for the university 

for 1966-67, reflecting efforts to 

keep salaries high, to stress undergraduate 

education, and to place more emphasis 

on the humanities. Several guidelines 

were followed in preparing the budget, 

which is $11,538,885 larger than that of 

the previous year. One was that enrollment 

would be maintained at present or 

below present levels in most colleges. Another 

was that tuition and fees would be 

increased by $150 a year in the endowed 

undergraduate colleges and $100 

in the state colleges, the Law School, 

and the Graduate School of Business and 

Public Administration. A third guideline 

was that new positions - both academic 

and non-academic - which bear directly 

on upgrading the quality of instruction 

would take precedence over other positions. 

Much of the emphasis in the new 

budget is on the College of Arts and Sciences 

with stress on the humanities in the 

form of new key appointments, and 

support of fellowships and faculty research. 

Academic Probation 

Abolished 

The university faculty has abolished 

academic probation on a university-wide 

basis. As of next fall, no student will 

have his extracurricular activities curtailed 

for academic reasons; probation 

as formerly defined will apply only in 

disciplinary cases. 

Replacing academic probation will be 

a system of warnings given to students 

with poor academic records. These 

warnings will be handled entirely by the 

individual schools and colleges and will 

not be placed on a student's permanent 

record. 

Deferment Tests 

And Vietnam 

On May 17, the anniversary of last 

year's Barton Hall ROTC sit-down, about 

a hundred students participated in an 11- 

hour sit-in at Day Hall near the office of 

President James A. Perkins. Seven stu- 

Mark Barlow, EdD '62, vice president for student affairs, presents the Eastern 

College Athletic Conference Merit Medal to Stephen Cram '66 as Cornell's outstanding 

senior student-athlete of 1965-1966. Cram, leading scorer on the basketball 

team for the last three years, has been on the All-Ivy second team twice and 

the All-Ivy first team once. In his first three years in the College of Architecture 

he was No. 1 in his class. 

dents managed to get into the President's 

reception room. 

This time the protest was against the 

university's role in administering the selective 

service deferment tests. 

The demonstrators, led by a graduate 

student who is head of the local Students 

for a Democratic Society movement, entered 

Day Hall about 2:00 PM. Perkins 

was in New York attending a Trustees 

meeting but returned during the evening 

and met with some of the demonstrators. 

The president told them that he would 

not be forced into any decisions by a sitin, 

but did agree to discuss the administration 

of the tests with his executive staff 

and members of the faculty. 

The next day the President issued a 

statement, saying that the administration 

and faculty had reaffirmed the university's 

position and that the tests would go on as 

scheduled. 

Perkins termed the sit-in demonstration 

unlawful and "not a proper means for the 

making of political points." 

"No reasonable discussion of so vital 

an issue as the operation of the selective 

service system can or will take place under 

the pressure of unlawful demonstrations," 

he said. 

The seven students who were in the reception 

room were ordered to appear before 

the Undergraduate Judiciary Board. 

Meanwhile, the Executive Board of 

Student Government was passing, 7-1, 

a resolution condemning United States 

policy in Vietnam. And at the same meeting, 

also by a 7-1 vote, the board added 

its protest against the university's administration 

of the selective service tests. 

On the U.S. role in Vietnam the board 

recommended: 

"That the United States support free 

elections in South Vietnam under United 

Nations auspices. 

"That the United States cease the bombings 

of North and South Vietnam immediately. 

"That, recognizing that the United 

States cannot honorably remain in South 

Vietnam, our government establish an immediate 

cease-fire and plan for ultimate 

June 1966 23

and complete withdrawal of American 

troops." 

The resolution on the draft urged that 

the university registrar not calculate or 

record class standings for the purpose of 

draft deferment, and that the university 

not allow the use of its facilities or personnel 

for the administration of the college 

qualification test. 

The board stated it felt "impelled by 

conscience" to speak out on the war because 

of its "unprecedented effect on the 

Cornell student and his university experience." 

Next day two petitions appeared, censuring 

the board for exceeding its jurisdiction 

and repudiating its resolutions. The 

board then announced that it would 

sponsor a week of debate and discussion, 

followed by a referendum. The board 

realized, said a spokesman, that it was 

not necessarily expressing a unanimous 

student opinon, but that it had wanted to 

promote debate as well as "express a 

moral commitment." 

Doctoral Language 

Requirements Eased 

Uniform language requirements for 

doctoral students at the university were 

eliminated in a graduate faculty meeting 

May 6. Without debate, the faculty voted 

319 to 154 to allow each of the 80 graduate 

fields to choose the specific language 

requirements for a PhD. Previously, a 

student had to have a reading knowledge 

of two of three languages - French, German, 

and Russian - before he could be 

awarded a doctorate. The change goes 

into effect immediately and is retroactive 

for all students who have not yet received 

their doctorate. 

In some instances, according to W. 

Donald Cooke, graduate school dean, 

the new program may mean elimination 

of all language requirements, in others a 

change to different languages, and still 

other disciplines may require facility in 

reading, speaking, and writing a language. 

Fraternities Under 

Faculty Attack 

A special faculty committee has come 

to the conclusion that fraternities should 

be phased out at Cornell. 

Fraternities, says the committee, have 

selection procedures that foster prejudice 

and smugness, pledging that consumes unjustified 

time, initiations with elements of 

sadism and an atmosphere that fosters 

anti-intellectualism. 

The committee has recommended that 

no new fraternities or sororities be instituted 

at Cornell and that the university 

move with all possible speed toward "alternate 

and competitive" student residence 

arrangements. 

The committee's report has the general 

approval of the university faculty. Dean 

of the Faculty Royce P. Murphy will appoint 

a committee to seek ways and means 

for the creation of "an ideal academic 

environment." Alumni, trustees, administrators 

and students as well as faculty 

members will be appointed to the new 

committee. 

Cornell made the national scene once 

again, this time with the publication of 

an exhaustive five-year study of the 

American bathroom and what can and 

should be done to remedy its shortcomings. 

Sponsored jointly by the American- 

Standard Co., the world's largest plumbing 

fixture manufacturer, and the College 

of Home Economics, the study was 

headed by Prof. Alexander Kira, architecture. 

The average American bathroom, 

he reported, is still basically the same as 

it was fifty years ago, and is built more 

for the convenience of plumbers than 

people. 

The university has pledged $300,000 

over a twenty-year period as rent for the 

Ithaca Festival Theater, providing the 

community responds by completing a 

fund drive for a matching amount. The 

1,700-seat theater, to be built at the head 

of Cayuga Lake on the old municipal airport 

site, will have a professional repertory 

company performing theater classics 

in the summer under the direction of 

Alan Schneider, AM'41. 

The Lincoln Hall ticket office is now 

offering subscriptions for the 1966-1967 

Green and Blue Concert Series, to be 

held in Bailey Hall. The Green Series 

will open on October 18 with a concert 

by the Moscow Chamber Orchestra under 

the direction of Rudolf Barshai, and 

continue with the January 17 appearance 

of Tossy Spivakovsky, violinist. Regine 

Crespin, the French soprano, will present 

a recital on February 21, and the Series 

will close with the March 14 performance 

of the Cleveland Orchestra under George 

Szell. 

Emil Gilels, the Russian pianist, will 

open the Blue Series on December 6. On 

January 13, The Zurich Chamber Orchestra 

will appear, followed by the Minneapolis 

Symphony Orchestra under 

Stanislaw Skrowaczewski on February 

14. On April 7, the Robert Shaw Chorale 

and Orchestra will present the final 

concert of the Series. 

Construction has begun on the new 

recreation, dining and study building on 

Stewart Avenue between University Halls 

No. 3 and 4. Once designated as "Freshman 

Center," the building is now to be 

known as "Student Center" and will be 

open to all students who wish to use it. 

The building was made possible by a million-dollar 

gift to the Centennial Fund by 

Jansen Noyes ΊO and Mrs. Noyes. Jansen 

Noyes Jr. '39 also contributed to the building. 

Completion is expected in September, 

1967. 

The Cornell Heights Residential Club 

will become a student dormitory next 

fall. The club, off Triphammer Road in 

Cayuga Heights, has been used as a motel 

and an apartment house at various 

times during its existence. The university 

bought it about five years ago. All the 

students in the new six-year PhD program 

will be housed in the club as well 

as some 48 women graduate students. 

FACULTY & STAFF 

Professor emeritus Harry H. Love, plant 

breeding, died on April 20, following a long 

illness. Professor Love received his BS and 

MS degrees from Illinois Wesleyan University 

and his PhD from Cornell in 1909. 

He became a professor of plant breeding 

with the university in 1911, and was department 

head from 1944 until his retirement in 

1949. 

Professor Love was well known for his 

work in developing improved varieties of 

small grains, now staple crops in New York 

and Canada, and he was a pioneer in statistical 

methods of agricultural research. 

Farther afield, Love served as an advisor 

in plant breeding for the National Government 

of China during the '20s and '30s, and 

from 1950 to 1956 he worked in Thailand 

developing a program for the improvement 

of rice. In recognition of his successful work 

there (Thailand now has enough rice both 

for its internal needs and for export), the 

Thai government honored him with the decoration 

of "Knight Commander of the Most 

Noble Order of the Crown of Thailand," 

the highest award given to foreigners. 

Professor Clyde W. Mason, PhD '24, 

chemical engineering, has been named professor 

emeritus. A professor here for 33 

years, Mas'όn has served as Emile M. 

Chamot Professor of Chemical Microscopy 

in the College of Engineering since 1958. 

24 


He is the author of a textbook, Introduction 

to Physical Metallurgy, and co-author 

of the two-volume Handbook of Chemical 

Microscopy. In his special field of interest, 

the microscopical properties and behavior 

of chemicals, construction materials, and 

manufactured products, he has published 

numerous papers in professional journals. 

Mason was a founder and the first chairman 

of the division of analytical and microchemistry 

in the American Chemical Society, 

and is a former chairman of the 

educational committee of the American Society 

of Metals. 

The chemistry department has also gained 

an emeritus professor in Albert W. Laubengayer 

'21, PhD '26, who has been a member 

of the faculty since 1928. 

He is the author of a textbook, General 

Chemistry, and a Laboratory Manual and 

Problems in Introductory Chemistry. In addition, 

he has published over 60 articles in 

the field of inorganic chemistry, including 

reports of his discovery of a method for 

producing single crystals of the element 

boron. Working with H. C. Mattraw of the 

General Electric Co., he discovered a new 

family of compounds derived from a chemical 

union of boron and certain organic substances. 

Laubengayer has also done extensive consulting 

work with industry, and from 1943 

to 1945 he was a consultant for the Manhattan 

Project which developed the first 

atomic bomb. 

Dr. Irving S. Wright '23, MD '26, clinical 

professor of medicine at the Medical College, 

was installed as president of the 13,000- 

member American College of Physicians 

April 21. Dr. Wright, a former university 

trustee, was head of the subcommittee on 

heart disease of the President's Commission 

on Heart Disease, Cancer, and Stroke. 

Professor Harold A. Scheraga, Todd professor 

and chairman of the department of 

chemistry, has been 

elected a member of 

the National Academy 

of Sciences. 

Membership in the 

NAS is considered to 

be one of the highest 

honors that can be 

accorded to an American 

scientist or engineer. 

Up to 42 

members may be elected each year. There 

are 745 members currently. The National 

Academy of Sciences is a private organization 

of scientists and engineers dedicated to 

the furtherance of science and its use for 

the general welfare. It was established in 

1863 by a Congressional Act of Incorporation 

signed by Abraham Lincoln which calls 

upon the Academy to act as an official adviser 

to the Federal Government, upon request, 

in any matter of science or technology. 

This provision accounts for the close 

ties that have always existed between the 

Academy and the Government, although the 

Academy is not a governmental agency. 

Professor John H. Sherry, hotel law, 

School of Hotel Administration, is serving 

for the eleventh consecutive year as chairman 

of the hotels division in The Legal Aid 

Society's current campaign for funds. Mr. 

Sherry is counsel to many of New York's 

leading hotels, legal editor of Hotel World 

Review, and author of Handbook of New 

York Hotel and Restaurant Laws. 

Professor William F. Rochow, PhD '54, 

plant pathology, was awarded the U.S. Department 

of Agriculture's Superior Service 

Award at ceremonies held on May 17 in 

Washington, D.C. Secretary of Agriculture 

Orville L. Freeman, in making the award, 

noted that Rochow's research on the barley 

yellow dwarf virus has resulted in our knowing 

more about this virus than any other 

virus persistently transmitted by aphids. The 

barley yellow dwarf virus is a world-wide 

problem of barley, oats, wheat, and many 

grasses. 

Rochow came to the university in 1955 

from the University of California at Berkeley. 

He had conducted research there on 

chemical and biological properties of plant 

viruses. 

Four new department chairmen have been 

named in the College of Arts and Sciences. 

The four are Prof. Ephim G. Fogle, English; 

Prof. Jean Parrish, Romance studies; Prof. 

Alex Rosenberg, mathematics; and Prof. 

Martie W. Young, history of art. Mrs. Parrish 

is the first woman to head a Cornell Arts 

and Sciences department. 

Stanislaw Czamaπski has been appointed 

to the faculty of the department of city & 

regional planning in the College of Architecture. 

Czamanski, now an assistant professor 

of regional science at the University 

of Pennsylvania, will assume his new position 

next September. 

A graduate of the College of Foreign 

Trade and the Institute of Textile Technology 

in Vienna, Czamanski received his 

master's degree from the University of 

Geneva in 1941. After World War II, he 

held various positions as a planning official 

and consultant in Lodz, one of the largest 

cities in Poland. In 1958, Czamanski joined 

the ATA Textile Co., Ltd., in Haifa, Israel, 

as an economist and head of the firm's 

planning department. He came to the US 

in 1961 to study for his doctoral degree at 

the University of Pennsylvania after receiving 

a Harrison Fellowship. He received the 

degree in 1963. 

Lester F. Eastman '52, PhD '57, has been 

promoted to professor of electrical engineering 

in the College of Engineering. His special 

field is microwave electronics and applied 

electrophysics. 

Dr. Stephen B. Hitchner, a research leader 

at Abbott Laboratories in Chicago, will become 

professor and chairman of the department 

of avian diseases at the Veterinary College 

on July 1. At Abbott, he is a group 

leader in animal disease research. 

Dr. Hitchner has also been a research 

veterinarian with American Scientific Laboratories, 

and has been a faculty member at 

the University of Massachusetts and at Virginia 

Polytechnic Institute. Much of his work 

has been in poultry diseases, including the 

development of the Bl vaccine against Newcastle 

disease, a respiratory virus disease in 

poultry. The vaccine is now prepared commercially 

from the Hitchner strain of virus. 

He received his DVM degree from the 

University of Pennsylvania and his BS degree 

from Rutgers University. 

David J. Allee '53 has been appointed 

associate director of the university's Water 

Resources Center. Allee, an assistant professor 

of resource economics in the College of 

Agriculture, held a similar teaching position 

at the University of California before 

coming here. 

He will continue as coordinator of the 

water resources activities in the College of 

Agriculture. Allee also is director of a federally 

supported research project within the 

Water Resources Center concerned with 

water supply and demand problems in the 

northeastern states. 

Richard Arnold, MS '59, of the U of 

Guelph, Guelph, Ont., Canada, has been 

appointed associate professor of soil science. 

He earned his BS degree in 1952 and 

his PhD in 1963 at Iowa State U and taught 

at Cornell in 1965 as a visiting lecturer. He 

also served as a soil technologist at Cornell 

from 1956 to 1959. 

Five Cornell scientists were among 90 

in the United States and Canada named 

this month to receive unrestricted grants 

for basic research from the Alfred P. Sloan 

Foundation. Cornell was tied for first place 

with the California Institute of Technology 

in the number of recipients this year. Recipients 

of the grants were designated 

Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellows. Cornell 

faculty members who will receive the grants 

effective in September are Stephen U. Chase, 

mathematics; Jack H. Freed and Roald 

Hoffmann, chemistry; and N. David Mermin 

and John W. Wilkins, physics. The 

grants are for fundamental research in 

chemistry, mathematics, physics and other 

fields such as geophysics and astrophysics. 

Miss Ethel Zoe Bailey, cataloguist of the 

Bailey Hortorium at the university, has been 

awarded the George Robert White Medal of 

Honor of the Massachusetts Horticultural 

Society. The White Medal, one of the highest 

horticultural awards in the US, is given 

annually to the individual or group, here or 

abroad, whom the Society judges to have 

done the most to advance interest in horticulture. 

Miss Bailey is the daughter of Liberty 

Hyde Bailey. 

F. Dana Payne, assistant dean of the College 

of Arts and Sciences, has been appointed 

new associate dean. A Princeton graduate, 

he was assistant director of student aid at 

Princeton before coming to Cornell. 

George M. Ellis, dean of men at Carnegie 

Institute of Technology, and Cynthia A. Secor, 

MA '63, teaching assistant in the department 

of English, have been appointed new 

assistant deans of the College. 

John V. Stone '42 is the new director of 

the university's midwest regional office in 

Chicago. He will assist alumni groups in 

fund raising, secondary school work, other 

alumni activities and public relations. Stone 

joins the Cornell staff after 16 years in the 

drug sales department of Smith, Kline and 

French Laboratories. 

June 1966 25

150-POUND CREW COACH JESDALE: 

Ίt was my job to goad them' 

• Cornell's most successful team, 150- 

pound varsity crew, was beaten for the 

first time since 1963, on May 14, after 16 

straight collegiate victories. It lost to Harvard 

in the Easterns. 

"How did the boys take their loss, 

coach?" 

"Not happily," replied Todd Jesdale 

'61, 26-year-old-doctoral candidate in 

English, who had never before seen his 

varsity licked since he became coach 

three years ago. "It was a quiet bus ride 

home. I was quiet because the feeling was 

gnawing at me that we were a better crew 

than Harvard. Why did we lose? I should 

have pushed them harder. It was a lousy 

spring to be sure but grousing about it 

didn't help. These boys are wonderful 

young men and splendid oarsmen but too 

much winning may have softened them a 

bit. Not physically, now . . . crew is just 

like any sport, there's more to it than the 

muscle building, the striving for precision, 

the long rows for endurance - a big part 

is attitude, the will to win. You've got to 

be mean, tough and nasty - Determined. 

It was my job to goad them when they 

needed goading." 

Not many coaches have a record in the 

bank to make them unhappy about a first, 

a second and a third in the championships. 

Todd expects a lot from his boys and they 

have come up with a lot for him. "He's a 

good coach and a fine fellow," says Stork 

Sanford. "I think he's done his best job 

this year." 

"Todd, how do you account for Cornell's 

long history of success in rowingour 

conditions are certainly far from 

ideal?" 

"Oh, our conditions are not too bad," 

he mused. "We have Teagle tanks, Collyer 

Boathouse - just beautiful! The Lake has 

been pretty awful this spring . . . those 

awful, persistent winds - worse than usual 

. . . but we have a tradition in crew at 

Cornell that is self-nourishing. It goes 

back to the Courtney days, maybe before. 

All the recruiting we do is in the freshman 

registration line each Fall, same as the 

BY ROBERT J. KANE '34 

heavies. Our own boys do the selling. It's 

easy. Cornell crew is big. We get 100-125 

boys out for freshman crew. So does 

Stork. Only a very few ever rowed before. 

They come out because it is a compliment 

to be asked to be a part of Cornell crew. 

"The biggest thing we have going for us 

is Stork Sanford. He is Cornell crew. That 

goes for the lightweights as well as the 

heavies. He is a great coach and a great 

man. Everything I know or feel about the 

sport comes either directly or indirectly 

from Stork. He is mild, a gentleman of 

almost awesome stature, but he's tough 

too. He makes changes in boatings no one 

else would dare to. He knows how to put 

a boatload together, that man. And he 

wants nothing but to win. His changes are 

always thoughtful, responsible, but he 

makes them audaciously - even when he 

is winning. He has an incredible eye for 

detail. 

"Our style is basically Stork's. We are 

a little shorter on the finish and we have 

little layback; a little briefer at the catch - 

and perhaps slightly slower with the hands 

coming out of bow. We row a little higher 

than the heavies. 

"Technique is only a part of what 

makes Cornell a success on the water. It's 

Stork's prestige, his very presence; it's 

Cornell crew. Even in our poor years we 

can make the best of them hump pretty 

hard to beat us. We're sound." 

Todd rowed lightweight crew for his 

four Cornell undergraduate years, never 

was better than junior varsity. He is 6 

feet 2 and had no trouble keeping within 

the top limit of 155 pounds. He was a 

high school hockey player and football 

end of miniscule distinction in Winchester, 

Mass. He liked sports and rowing seemed 

to be his best chance in college. 

"It was a lucky day for me when I became 

associated with Cornell rowing. 

There's something mystical about it ... 

there's an absolute ecstasy in making a 

boat move well. Only an oarsman knows 

the feeling. When a boat is moving fast 

and each man is pulling with rhythmic precision 

and power there is an aesthetic joy 

about it only those of us in the cult know. 

"A coach never thinks of his crew as a 

well oiled machine, the old cliche. He 

knows each man too well, knows his idiosyncrasies. 

He never forgets they are eight 

different young men. He knows it takes 

mental effort to pull in unison. He knows, 

too, that they know they have a commitment 

to each other. 

"I thought of that most poignantly at 

Worcester last Saturday when I watched 

our jayvees come through and win in the 

last 500 meters. We were behind by half 

a length at that point and then something 

magical happened. They started out after 

first place MIT, passing Harvard and 

Princeton on the way. They brought the 

stroke up to 36, then 38-not a hitch, 

beautiful bladework. They were flying. 

Right across the finish line in beautiful 

style, a half length in front. And then 

three of them passed out completely. And 

yet they looked powerful at the finish, 

just seconds before. Incredible. 

"I've learned a lot on this job, about 

people, about things, about courage. I've 

even learned why trophies are made in 

the form of cups: to dip water out of 

ditches in the middle of the night to fill 

the leaking radiator of our old shell-carrying 

1953 Buick, as we did every few 

minutes with the Geiger Cup on the way 

home after we had won at Cambridge 

last year. I don't understand, though, how 

Stork Sanford wins the toss every time 

. . . We flip to see who pays for the coffee. 

He never loses." 

Big Red Lacrosse 

Team Shines 

BY THE SIDELINER' 

• An unbeaten lacrosse team - in its 

first 10 starts - tops an above-average 

Cornell spring sports season through the 

middle of May. 

Other teams were also doing well, or 

were either at .500 or in the black. 

Lacrosse 

The Ivy League is tough and balanced 

this season. 

The Big Red has beaten Yale, Harvard, 

and Pennsylvania by two goals, and 

Brown by one. Coach Ned Harkness' 

team won its first 10 straight. However, it 


would have to beat Princeton and Dartmouth 

in the closing games to clinch the 

first Cornell Ivy title in lacrosse in history, 

as well as an undefeated season. 

A split would earn Cornell a tie for the 

crown with Brown. 

The Red, with star attackman Bruce 

Cohen '66 of Baldwin ailing with an ankle 

injury, had its troubles against Harvard 

before rallying from a 3-1 deficit to prevail, 

7-5, in Cambridge. Scoring two goals 

apiece were Harry Orr '67 of Port Credit, 

Ont, Doug Zirkle '66 of Erie, Pa., and 

Tom Quaranto '67 of Huntington. 

Tom Harkness '68 of Ithaca, son of the 

coach, scored the go-ahead goal in the 

fourth period to give Cornell the impetus 

for a 9-7 victory over Pennsylvania in 

Philadelphia. Cohen led the winners with 

three goals and two assists. 

The Red rallied from a four-goal deficit 

to edge Brown, 11-10, in a dramatic battle 

before 5,500 in Ithaca. The loss was 

the first Ivy setback for the Bruins in six 

starts. Cornell trailed, 7-3, midway in the 

second period before Orr began scoring 

with his submarine slingshots. 

Orr had four (of Cornell's first six) 

goals. Cohen tied the score at 9-9 early 

in the fourth period on a stumbling shot 

from his knees, similar to his Yale goal 

which tied that game, also 9-9, and Zirkle 

had the go-ahead score from 15 feet out. 

Colgate gave the Cornellians fits at 

Hamilton, and the Red had to rally from 

a 7-4 deficit to win, 8-7, on a late goal 

by George Gould '67 of Freeport. Gould 

had five goals in all, while Cohen scored 

twice. 

Norton Lamb '66 of Falmouth, Me., 

joined Cohen with three goals apiece to 

lead Cornell to a 14-4 rout of Hobart before 

6,500 fans in Ithaca. Cohen also had 

three assists. Orr, Quaranto, and Gould 

scored two goals apiece. 

It's going to be some time before Cornell 

fans will get a chance to crow more 

over a Syracuse triumph than in the Big 

Red's 10th win, a 19-2 massacre of the 

Orange in the rain at Ithaca. Quaranto 

had four goals, Barry Irwin '67 of Bethesda, 

Md., and Gould had three apiece.

Baseball 

Hitting continues to be the main problem 

for Cornell's baseball team. 

The pitching, especially that by Jim 

Purcell '67 of Barryville, has been superb. 

But the batting has been terrible, with 

a cumulative team average of .220. 

A bright spot was the 4-0 triumph over 

Army, previously unbeaten in Eastern 

Intercollegiate Baseball League play. Pur- 

cell scattered four hits and struck out 13 

in a brilliant performance. 

The low spot was a six-game losing 

streak which saw the Red's record drop to 

7-9 at one stage. 

Best hitters so far have been outfielder 

Bill Giezendanner '67 of Hillsdale, N.J., 

third baseman Dan Walker '68 of Milford, 

Conn., and Ivan Tylawsky '67 of 

Duryea, Pa. 

Probably the most frustrating game was 

the Brown affair, in which a five-run fifth 

inning led the Bruins to a 5-3 victory 

at Hoy Field, the day after Cornell 

blanked Army and moved into contention 

in the EIBL with a 3-2 record. 

June 1966 27

The Red left 17 men on base against 

Brown. 

But a couple of days later Cornell 

lashed out 17 hits for a surprising 11-7 

triumph over Syracuse. Tylawsky had a 

homer and double; Bill Troxell '66 of 

Phillipsburg, N.J., slugged a fifth-inning 

grandslam home run. 

The next day, though, the Big Red was 

blanked, 1-0, by Pennsylvania as Purcell 

dropped another close one and Cornell's 

over-all record, with three games remaining 

dropped to 10-11. 

Crew 

Harvard is still supreme, it appears. 

The Crimson won their third straight 

Eastern Sprint (2,000 meters) title on 

Lake Quinsigamond, at Worcester, Mass., 

finishing a length ahead of Brown, and 

another 10 feet in front of third place 

Cornell. 

"I know that our showing was disappointing," 

said Coach Stork Sanford. "But 

ί was pretty proud of our fellows. I think 

they did very well. 

"I don't think we were quite ready for 

it. Now, if we can only get a break in the 

weather, maybe we can get in better shape 

for Penn and then the IRA." 

(Bad weather has forced the crew into 

the confined Inlet, rather than Cayuga 

Lake, for most of its practices.) 

Harvard won the jayvee championship; 

Cornell didn't qualify for the finals. Pennsylvania 

copped the freshman crown, with 

Harvard second and Cornell sixth. 

Cornell was unbeaten in two races prior 

to the sprints. 

It edged Syracuse by a half length in 

the Goes Trophy regatta at Syracuse, 

with Navy 5Vi lengths back in third. 

Coach Sanford was moderately pleased. 

"It should give the fellows a lot of confidence," 

he said. "We must smooth out 

some and get faster. The potential is 

there." 

In the second race, the Carnegie Cup 

regatta on Cayuga Lake, Cornell rallied 

in the last mile to beat Princeton by a 

length. Yale was another length back in 

third place, and guest Syracuse was 

fourth, three more lengths behind. 

Lightweight Crew 

After winning 16 straight regattas 

against American foes the past three seasons, 

Cornell's 150s bowed to Harvard by 

half a length in finishing second to the 

Crimson in the Eastern Sprint (2,000 

meters) championships on Lake Quinsigamond. 

The jayvees won their event, and the 

freshmen finished third. 

The race concluded the season for 

Coach Todd Jesdale's crew. 

Cornell beat Pennsylvania by a length 

and three-quarters in the season's opener, 

trounced Princeton by a length and a 

quarter in the second race, nipped MIT 

by 12 feet in the Geiger Cup with Columbia 

third, and defeated Dartmouth by 

a length and a half for victory No. 4 of 

the season. 

Track 

The big man on the Cornell track scene 

is Bill Bruckel '67 of Avon, one of the 

finest short-middle distance runners in 

many years here. 

He won the Heptagonal Games' 440 in 

47.6 and placed second in the 220. 

The other Cornell winner in the Heps, 

at New Haven, Conn., was John Elliot 

'67 of Springfield, Mass., who was timed 

in 14.8 for the 120 high hurdles. 

Wayne Gustafson '68 of Holden, Mass., 

finished second in the high jump with a 

6-7 effort, tying the Cornell record. 

BruckeΓs time in the latter was 21.8, 

a half-step behind Navy's Tom Palkie, 

who was clocked in 21.7. The former 

Heps record was 22.1. 

Other Cornell scorers included Tom 

Fraus '67 of Royal Oak, Mich., fifths in 

the hammer, discus, and shot put; and 

Bob Holmes '67 of Rahway, N.J., fourth 

in the broad jump and fifth in the triple 

jump. 

The Big Red had its best team showing 

in years, finishing fourth (with 28 

points) in the ten-team field. Army won 

with 73 and 1/5, followed by Navy, with 

65 and 1/5 and Harvard with 62. 

Earlier in the month Cornell smashed 

Pennsylvania in a dual meet, 119-35. 

Golf 

Cornell wound up a successful golf 

season with a 5-2 record. 

It tied for third place in the 16-team 

Eastern Intercollegiate championship at 

the University Course here. Penn State 

won with an 803 total, followed by Yale 

with 810, and Cornell and Army with 811 

apiece. 

Scott Yard of Penn State won the qualifying 

medal with 70-78 - 154, with Cornell's 

Brian Garman '67 of Mendon, 

Mich., second at 81-75- 156. 

Individual winner was Don Johnson of 

Army. 

Tennis 

Coach Ed Moylan has produced a winning 

Big Red tennis team. 

The record stood at 8-5 (3-3 in the 

Eastern Intercollegiate Tennis League) 

with one match remaining. 

Top man is John Galinato '66 of West 

Point, who extended highly-ranked Keith 

Jennings of Princeton before bowing in a 

singles match, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 during the 

Tigers' 8-1 win over Cornell in Ithaca. 

The Red had a possible victory over 

Penn denied due to darkness. Cornell led, 

4-3, with two doubles matches remaining. 

Five points are needed to win. 

UNDERGRADUATE REPORT BY GEOF HEWITT '66 

• the love of learning 

The Free University 

should supercede the desire 

for a good grade... 

• This spring's damp weather has discouraged 

what many of us thought was 

an annual tradition: group protest organized 

against one or another of the university 

establishments. However, a small 

splash was made this year by a group of 

dissident students who feel that Cornell 

is failing to provide instruction in many 

areas uniquely relevant to the 'sixties. Although 

these students have chosen not to 

demonstrate, their message has spread 

rapidly across the campus to provoke 

much thought and discussion on the part 

of students and faculty alike. 

At its organizational meeting, The 

Free University attracted a crowd of 

more than two hundred. Interest ran 

high as the organizers explained that their 

goal was to establish, within the university, 

a series of extra-curricular courses 

taught by qualified professors and/or 

students. Essentially, The Free University 

would be a regular series of lectures 

and discussion sections in which attendance 

was not taken, and for which credit 

was not given. At the same time, one 

could feel at this meeting the potential 

lobbying power of the students and instructors 

gathered: perhaps a few of the 

courses that originate within The Free 


University (which will begin offering 

courses in September) will eventually find 

their way into the regular university curriculum. 

Perhaps The Free University is a 

source of embarrassment to the administration; 

certainly, the name, by implication, 

casts aspersions upon Day Hall's 

university. Yet, when the diverse list of 

courses contemplated by the group is 

viewed, one can understand why the administration 

has not yet sanctioned reggular 

academic courses-for-credit in these 

areas. The subjects tend to be extremely 

topical, even faddish, and often seem not 

to justify more than one or two lectures. 

Courses for which professors have already 

been found include: The University in 

Transition; Southern Politics and the Negro 

Problem; The Death of God; Existentialism; 

and Ideologies of Economic Development 

in Latin America (which will 

be taught by a graduate student). 

Another group of courses will be taught 

as soon as instructors are found. Included 

are: Pop Art and After; The Literature 

of the American Negro; The Current 

American Stage; Comparative Religion; 

and Sexual Expression. But the list does 

not end here. Students at the organizational 

meeting surprised the organizers 

with their widely varied suggestions. A 

few of the courses that were requested 

from the floor are: Mind Amplification; 

Pacifism or Conscientious Objection; 

Black Humor; McCarthyism and its 

Remnants; Suicide; Problems of Cornell 

Phenomonology; and a laboratory course 

in Political Protest. 

In an article entitled "It's the Same Old 

Thing," published in the May 6 Cornell 

Sun, student Mark A. Sommer '67 

pointed out that The Free University 

idea has been employed already at 

Berkeley, in New York, and at Brown, 

where a student can earn his B.A. through 

The Free University. Sommer added 

that: "the topics suggested for courses 

were often a little humorous in their 

vagueness and a little pathetic in their 

imitative character: drugs, poverty, anarchy, 

sexual expression. One wonders 

what can be gotten out of a round-table 

discussion of 'sexual expression.' " 

Sommer's contention that Cornell students 

should discover new areas that 

other college communities have not investigated 

seems irrelevant: merely because 

the free university idea has been 

tried at Berkeley first is no reason to exclude 

it from Ithaca. But his consideration 

of the topics offered seems worthy 

of thought. Many of the courses established 

within Cornell's Free University 

have the aura of sensationalism. The test 

of sincere student interest might well be 

to compare the number of people attending 

"University in Transition" lectures 

with the number present at a typical 

"Sexual Expression" course. Both 

topics should have high interest content 

for truly concerned students, although 

the "University in Transition" seems a 

less exhaustible subject. 

President Perkins has come under a 

mild barrage of fire within these recent 

developments. An article in the May 2 

Sun called Perkins' recently published 

The University in Transition "an intellectual 

justification for the modern multiversity 

and the role it is playing in 

society. Mr. Perkins accepts the increasingly 

specialized nature of research, and 

indeed, the increasing specialization of 

learning at the undergraduate level. The 

problems with which students and faculty 

are really concerned must be taught, and 

if they cannot be found in the structure 

of Cornell, as too often they cannot, 

then we must go beyond that structure." 

A spreading theory, only recently being 

voiced on the campus, is that the 

students are beginning to gain more control 

of their academic futures than is 

good for them. The same article from the 

May 2 Sun suggested that: "The student 

. . . should decide about certain aspects 

of his own life, including what he wants 

to study." What at first seemed a healthy 

student interest in academic administration 

and the quality of courses offered 

may well develop into irrational demands 

that, if granted, the students themselves 

will live to regret. If this argument is 

taken to its extreme, we see that The 

Free University could gain academic 

recognition, and that the student who 

"should decide . . . what he wants to 

study," could graduate from Cornell 

with a BA in Sexual Expression. 

Professor L. Peatce Williams '48, 

PhD '52, sensing that the students are 

touting academic reform largely for reasons 

of private laziness, recently told a 

group of students at a history lecture: 

"You want knowledge poured into you 

like an open bucket. You want to be instructed, 

not taught. . . . You can instruct 

a bird-dog; we are supposed to educate 

you." Williams said that he had been active 

in Students For Education, a group 

that last spring attempted to abolish the 

grading system. "From now on I will be 

more skeptical of these things," he said, 

adding that the grade is the most effective 

means of ensuring student motivation. 

Of course, there is little chance that 

The Free University will ever gain such 

a strong grip on the university community. 

Skeptics believe that simply because 

no credit is given with the courses offered, 

The Free University will crumble 

within weeks of its inception next September. 

Initial interest may be high, but 

as soon as the student has to decide between 

attending a Free University lecture 

and earning an A on the next day's 

prelim, he will follow his competitivelyconditioned 

desire to get a high grade. 

Since a principal contention of student 

academic reform groups is that the love 

of learning should supercede the desire 

for a good grade, such a demise would 

be an ironical end to The Free University.

Men: Clarence F. Fisher, 6302 

Massachusetts Ave., Washington, 

D.C., graduated from Lincoln 

Hall, and all his life has practiced professional 

engineering and building construction. 

For 30 years he participated in slum clearance 

housing. Clarence has retired, being 

over 81, and now dabbles in horticulture. 

He has three grown children and three 

grandchildren whose education he is assisting. 

Clarence is certain he will be at our 

60th in 1969. 

Howard V. Whitney, a retired General 

Electric engineer living at 1600 Monument 

Ave., Richmond, Va., hurried home from 

Florida in March to see his daughter-in-law 

who had arrived from Manila for a visit. His 

son John is expected home in June and there 

will be family reunions this summer. Whit 

goes dove shooting and duck hunting and 

plays golf occasionally. Deer hunting in the 

Adirondacks is his favorite sport but he finds 

it is becoming too strenuous. Willson (Nan) 

Patterson is the last classmate he has seen. 

He thinks Nan has changed less in appearance 

than most of us. 

Edward H. Thomson, 551 Longmeadow 

St., Longmeadow, Mass., who took both a 

bachelor's and a master's degree at Cornell, 

was presented with a scroll signed by the 

board of directors of Massachusetts Mutual 

Life Insurance Co. in recognition of his retirement 

from the board on April 13. He 

had served since 1941. Ed still has his farm 

on Scotch Mountain at Delhi, and spends 

considerable time there. "I have reforested 

much of the open land with over 90,000 

spruce and expect to plant 6,000 more this 

spring. Three spring-fed ponds on the farm 

are well stocked with trout, providing a lot 

of fun for our grandchildren." Ed's philosophy 

for living is to keep busy, keep looking 

up and forward. "I have much to be thankful 

for. Cornell has meant a great deal to 

me." 

Gustav J. Requardt, 307 Somerset Rd., 

Baltimore, Md., paid a visit to Dr. Joseph C. 

Hinsey, director, The New York Hospital- 

Cornell Medical Center on April 21, and was 

well rewarded by a personal tour of the immense 

group of medical buildings on York 

Ave., 68th St., and the East River. The New 

York Hospital was founded in the 1700's, 

being the second public hospital in America. 

The Cornell Medical Center was founded in 

1898. The names of many Cornell men are 

engraved on the walls, two of the most prominent 

donors being Nicholas H. Noyes '06 

and Stanton Griffis ΊO. Dr. Hinsey, an enthusiastic 

booster of the Cornell Medical 

College, will welcome all Cornell visitors. 

'09 

Women: Florence Bibbins Me- 

Master recently sent a special gift 

to the Cornell Alumni Fund. She 

was unable to contribute to the Centennial 

Campaign because of illness. She writes: "I 

have many reasons to wish to share even in 

a small way in the maintenance of Cornell 

leadership. This year especially, pride enters 

in it, for my granddaughter Carolyn Rider 

ranks second in the College of Agriculture 

in scholastic grades and has won a scholarship 

for summer work and a year's study at 

Harvard. So I am even more desirous of 

showing my gratitude to Cornell." 

A disastrous fire at Locke in March destroyed 

the mill and equipment of the Atwater 

Co. Louise Atwater Chester of Genoa 

was one of the trustees of the company and 

has been carrying much responsibility for 

the business for a long time. 

A note from Charlotte Moffet gives her 

new address: 2208 Fairlawn Pkwy, Schenectady, 

where she and her brother moved last 

fall. She is busy with church and Eastern 

Star activities and attends the local concert 

series. She sees Ida Bouck frequently and 

reports that Ida spent some of the winter 

season in Florida. 

Two other changes of address have been 

reported since the 1964 directory of 1909 

women was distributed: Margaret Van Deusen 

Carpenter (wife of Charles '08) 1809 

College Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa. and Eunice 

Jackson Gilkey, 210 W. Green St., Ithaca. 

Mabel Bennett Utz reported to Nan Bruff 

the sad news of the death of a sorority sister, 

Bernice Brown Leonard, in St. Petersburg, 

Fla., Dec. 30, 1965, after a long illness. Bernice 

wrote me in 1964 that her grandson, 

Peter Leonard of Bernardsville, N.J., was 

considering enrolling in the Veterinary College 

at Cornell eventually.

Basking in the sunshine of the Caribbean 

was not exactly conducive to doing such a 

mundane thing as writing the 1910 news 

(even if there had been some available - 

which there was not). Hence we missed 

the May issue. 

However, returning to the mainland of 

Florida late in March, we decided to get 

some first-hand information by checking in 

with some of the classmates who are either 

permanent or winter residents of that state. 

Our first stop en route north was at Avon 

Park in the orange grove country. Here we 

hoped to see Scott DeGolyer. Unfortunately, 

he was away for the day. One report was 

that he was on a photographic trip with a 

lady friend. We did learn that Scott was the 

champion of the local shuffieboard contingent. 

The next day we were in Bradenton on 

the west coast. It had been our hope to see 

Jac Holman and George Robinson, who live 

in the vicinity - Anna Maria and St. Petersburg-but 

Jac was taking his wife to the 

doctor (virus infection), and Roby was off 

for a visit to Orlando. There were still other 

classmates not far away. One was Eddie 

Cook, a winter resident at the Cameo Apts., 

Pass-a-Grill, near St. Petersburg. Arriving 

there at noon, we learned that the one-man 

track team had left that morning for his 

home in Chillicothe. 

Living near-by was Col. Harold Jacoby. 

When we reached his home, it was to find 

his wife in the midst of a bridge party and 

the Colonel absent. One other classmate in 

St. Petersburg was contacted, namely, Gad 

Scoville who, prior to his retirement, had 

been associated with Professor Warren of 

the Department of Farm Management in the 

ag college. Found him in good health and 

enjoying Florida life. 

While it had been disappointing not to 

have been able to have spent some time with 

these classmates, the day was to end on a 

most happy note, as we had a delightful 

visit with Alex Wilson and his charming wife 

at Largo, late in the afternoon, and dinner 

at the Clearwater Yacht Club. (We have 

since learned that they escaped the full force 

of the tornado which hit that section of 

Florida three days after our visit.) 

Driving northeast across the state we 

called on Aeneas Duclcs at Winter Park. We 

found both members of the family well and 

still much occupied with the local amateur 

theatrical group. Just around the corner 

A GROVE of sugar maples, beech, and birch trees has been dedicated by the department 

of conservation at Arnot Forest in honor of Professor Cedric H. Guise '14, MF '15, 

forester at the College of Agriculture for 38 years and first director of the Forest. Guise 

(left) is shown with Professor L. S. Hamilton, present director, beside the boulder on 

which a bronze plaque is mounted marking the entrance to Guise Grove. 


from the Duclos home lives Miron Canady, 

but he was off on a short trip. That night we 

arrived in Daytona Beach. Here we received 

a royal welcome from George Donnellan 

and his wife. Their home is right on the 

ocean front, some miles south of the town. 

The next day we were in Sea Island, Ga. 

Made our presence known to Dugald White 

and before long, we were enjoying the hospitality 

of Dugald and his lovely wife. Since 

both wives are Vassar graduates, a pleasant 

rapport was quickly established. The Whites 

live in Sea Island all winter and do not 

leave until May, when they go to Bay Head, 

N.J. Cannot think of a better way to end up 

a winter vacation than to contact and visit 

so many classmates. Oh yes, we used the occasion 

to drum up trade for the 60th Reunion.

into the Sahara and into other primeval 

territory. (You should see the primitive pictures. 

) Also through the North African campaign 

country of World War II, as well as to 

the Roman and other ruins around Carthage, 

Djerba Island, etc. A most worthwhile 

adventure."

O. D. Reich and wife, PO Box 510, Pearl 

River, had a fascinating long trip to the 

South Pacific and New Zealand, which required 

17 different flights. They saw the 

beauties of Tahiti, Bora Bora, Fiji, American 

Samoa, and Maui, as well as covering 

both the north and south islands of New 

Zealand. O. D. wrote: "Life is quite unhurried 

and relaxed there. Almost everything 

is closed down tight on weekends. It 

seemed strange to have almost no news of 

the US and Europe." Going and returning, 

the Reichs visited a son and family in Pasadena 

and then went to see another married 

one in Sudbury, Mass. 

It was my good fortune in crossing a 

downtown street in Cleveland to spy Graham 

(Pat) Kearney of 519 E. Lincoln Way, 

Lisbon, Ohio, and have an enjoyable lunch 

with him. Pat, who looked as sparkling as 

ever, had just made arrangements to fly to 

England with his wife the first week in June 

and spend several weeks in the British Isles 

and Ireland. Along with sight-seeing, they 

will be in quest of descendant relatives of 

their ancestors (having studied the family 

tree), and Pat is looking forward to tending 

bar at Cousin Kearney's establishment.

Our class treasurer, Donald P. Beardsley, 

is really carrying on in the true Cornell 

spirit by keeping the Beardsley clan closely 

identified with our university. His grandson, 

Philip B. Beardsley, has just been accepted 

at Cornell and will enter this fall. Philip will 

be the fourth-generation Beardsley in direct 

line from Don's father, Harry M. '86. Then 

came our Don '13. Don's son, Mitchell entered 

Cornell, but the war interfered and he 

left in his sophomore year to become an Air 

Force pilot. And now Philip. Four generations! 

Congratulations, one and all Beardsleys! 

Raymond (Bud) B. White, 928 Grand 

Ave., Kansas City, Mo., is still in the lumber 

business. He has no special news except to 

say he has not been fired- (yet). (Note: he 

put the "yet" in. I didn't.) 

E. Lysle Aschaffenburg, Pontchartrain Hotel, 

New Orleans, La., was recently elected 

the first president of the Greater New Orleans 

Hotel & Motel Assn., a newly formed 

organization, and to the board of directors 

of the American Hotel & Motel Assn. 

Robert F. Corley, 77 Loomis PI., New 

Haven, Conn., went into the hospital Jan. 11 

to deliver some flowers and came out 38 

days later after two major operations "and 

sundry other indignities, including a hole in 

the pocketbook." Bob is glad to be alive and 

now is in good health. Bob has remarried - a 

close friend of many years. 

While Bob was in the hospital, Doc 

(Dudley S.) Ingraham dropped in to cheer 

his recovery. You may recall that last year 

Doc gave the house he had lived in for 75 

years to the Connecticut Conference of Congregational 

Churches in Bristol, Conn., and 

moved to nearby Litchfield. He's in the 

country now and likes it. His daughter, 

Laura, graduates this June from the Connecticut 

College for Women. She is the last 

of five children Doc has had in college over 

the years, and he is rightfully very proud of 

her, "a beauty and on the dean's list." 

I was sorry to learn in March (writing this 

in April), that A. Lester Slocum, 2675 N. 

Terrace Ave., Milwaukee, Wis., has been in 

the hospital for three weeks. He expected to 

be out in a week or so. Liver trouble, necessitating 

an operation. As Les says, it's a 

rough way to lose weight and pep. Les, 

here's hoping you are out and starting to get 

up and at 'em as of yore.

in his left (good) leg, which tightens up 

on him after he walks but a short distance. 

Freddie, as of course you know, is our class 

vice president and has been chairman of 

practically all our Reunions since we graduated 

- probably the one man responsible for 

all our record-breaking Reunions. In spite of 

his troubles, Freddie is still doing his daily 

stint on the job and hopes he will never have 

to retire. As he puts it, "It's hell to get old."

Dios sabe when this will be printed. I'm 

tying (typing, rather) up loose ends in the 

rush to leave. Some additional excitement 

was furnished by receiving the March Rotarίan 

in which the lead feature was a debate 

between yours truly, taking the affirmative 

on "Is 'Foreigner' a Bad Word?" and a precisionist 

who wanted to ignore its bad connotations. 

The very day I got my copy and 

saw what my opponent had written, I got a 

nice letter from former Sun-man Alden C. 

Buttrick '16 of Minneapolis, which gets 

quicker delivery from Evanston than we do. 

George Barnes, a former Rotary district 

governor in Alabama, had already encouraged 

me to write it. It was rather fun. 

George had also written about correspondence 

he had had with Ed Bowden, out in 

Seattle. 

Hez and Rena Dow went to Chile on the 

Grace Line and we got a nice letter from 

them in Valparaiso in mid-February. They 

looked for the little house on Cerro Victoria 

where we had lived in 1921. Couldn't find it 

but enjoyed the hill. They had time for 

visits to Santiago and Vina del Mar, which 

they had seen 30 years ago, and found them 

much changed. Their plan was to stay over 

a boat in Lima, then go to Panama and on to 

Mexico for a couple of weeks, before returning 

to East Haddam about April 1. 

Had an amusing letter from Alfred 

(Heaves) Savage in January, re the 11-65 

Notes: 

"Never having had a fan of the literary 

kind (certainly not one of the opposite 

sex), I feel a bit out of place with myself 

when B.G.B. mentions a certain wonderful 

letter of mine that appeared in the 

Dec. '64 issue. Simple truth is that I am 

unable to recall this. And, because it is 

submitted that no one-time ranch-hand, 

cavalry man, horse doctor ever had literary 

attributes worth even a small damn, 

clearly my memory would be the better 

for a shot in the arm. Wherefore I ask 

could and would you please send me a 

copy of that Dec. '64 number, or at least 

the page of it that seems to have amused 

Dame B.G.B.? That done, a semblance 

of sanity might return. Here's hoping." 

I could and did, and enjoyed rereading it 

myself for the third or fourth time. 

Thomas E. Milliman of Ithaca (Leonard 

Treman's brother-in-law) is the author of 

The GLF Story, 1920-1964 recently published. 

GLF, the Cooperative Grange League 

Federation Exchange, Inc., is no more. It 

merged with a big New England co-op, 

changed its name to Agway, and moved its 

headquarters to Syracuse a year or so ago, 

a blow to Ithaca which was its birthplace 

and home for 40 years. Tom joined the farm 

cooperative in 1927 and held a number of 

executive positions, finally retiring as director 

of research in 1955. Tom has a lively 

mind. He has talked at Rotary once in a 

while, and very effectively. I remember two 

talks especially, one on birdsfoot trefoil 

and the other on cross-breeding of cattle. He 

spoke from experience as he owned a big 

farm some distance from Ithaca on which 

he tried out his theories. His is a big book, 

470 pages. In the preface, Tom wrote: "It is 

a running record of events as they happened 

- events that were of considerable significance 

to the agriculture of the Northeast." 

1914 has had a lot to do with agriculture 

in New York State, in fact, in the entire nation 

and internationally. I am thinking particularly 

of Bill Myers, former dean of our 

College of Agriculture, off on a mission for 

the Rockefeller Foundation. There was a 

long story in the Ithaca Journal of 1-18-66 

which said that he predicted government 

withdrawal from price support and acreage 

control during the next decade. In his speech 

he also said that agriculture cannot expect 

to be exempt from social change and social 

legislation and farmers must "learn to operate 

under laws providing minimum wages, 

workmen's compensation, adequate housing 

for migrant workers, and such." He said the 

long-range outlook is favorable for efficient 

family commercial farms in New York 

adapted to the production of milk, fruit, 

vegetables, eggs, and similar products. Another 

story in the same paper said that Bill 

had been appointed by Gov. Rockefeller 

to the board of the State Science & Technology 

Foundation. 

Good, but latent, resolutions: Some day I 

must do a little write-up of Alex Laurie, of 

Pine Mountain, Ga., retired head of floriculture 

at Ohio State. I have plenty of leads 

on him, such as American Men of Science, 

Who's Who in the South, Who's Who & 

What, Leaders in American Science, International 

Blue Book, Horticultural Hall of 

Fame, etc. Or I could read through the eight 

books he has published since 1930. All I 

need is time and energy. 

Then there are the travelogues of Van 

Wyck and Betty Loomis that usually come 

out about Christmas. The one in 1963 covered 

a trip through the country south and 

east of Mexico City and was an introduction 

to pre-Columbian art and architecture 

and the dramatic confrontation of east and 

west in the Conquest. In 1965 the west coast 

was their objective, and natural beauty and 

contemporary life were their rewards. The 

letters are veritable guidebooks for extended 

automobile tours South of the Border.

As this appears, the Class of 1916 will be 

cavorting on Cornell's campus in what 

seems certain to be a "once-in-a-lifetime" 

Reunion. We congratulate Chairman Allan 

Carpenter, President Murray Shelton, Secretary 

Birge Kinne, and the vast committee 

of men and women whose efforts are bringing 

so much pleasure to the 500-ρlus 

1916ers, spouses, and guests able to attend. 

Interesting Le Clair Smith, who lives in 

Plattsburgh and is curator of the Kent- 

DeLord House Museum there, tells us that 

while his wife was in Australia visiting relatives, 

he drove to Daytona Beach by way of 

Cambridge, Mass. Long a collector of G. A. 

Henty books (never to be forgotten by 

American boys of our generation), he had an 

opportunity to inspect the Harvard library's 

275 first editions and reprints, presumed to 

be the finest collection in the US. He also 

viewed the Grolier Society exhibit of Henty 

works en route to Daytona where he met 

his son Pete, the 1915 "class baby," but now 

a sophomore at Trinity U. Smith says he intends 

to bequeath his own Henty first editions, 

some 200 titles, to the Cornell Library. 

He reports a pleasant visit with our 

revered French professor James Mason, 

whom he described as a "hale and hearty 

octogenarian." 

Jack Stratton, of Avon Products fame, is 

back from a sojourn in England and the 

continent. He is expecting to go west to 

Japan and beyond, around the world, with a 

stop at Tahiti "while still able." Jack still 

looked very able. He will visit Mexico en 

route. 

President Bill Cosgrove, retired head of 

Swindell Dreshler, Pittsburgh-based steel 

company, slipped into New York again recently 

for a Tower Club banquet and would 

have joined us on May 20 except for a previously 

planned trip. He has recovered 

nicely. One honorary member speaking at 

the Tower Club dinner was Charles Kuehler, 

our well-known blind classmate, whose remarkable 

life and interests are an inspiration. 

Latest noteworthy activity is an international 

"Voicepondence Club" for the blind, 

now claiming 600,000 members around the 

world. The club maintains a library of taped 

material available to the blind, as well as 

braille items such as the three excellent 

speeches of President Perkins at Princeton. 

He is now seeking ways and means of getting 

the bird calls and songs recorded during 

Professor Arthur Allen's regime, for the library. 

We had a few more Ί5ers than originally 

expected at the May 20 Club luncheon. 

Chairman Ed Geibel, Ray Riley, Claude 

Williams, and Art Wilson came to mull over 

1968 and 1970 Reunion plans and budgets 

with Treasurer Dick Reynolds and the rest 

of us hereabouts. Wilson confirmed the success 

of the Ft. Myers party, as did other 

guests. One of them told me that Betty Wilson, 

entering her first flower show in Florida, 

took five first prizes with six entries! 

The Wilsons expect to be back from "around 

the world" in September. 

The Lloyd Cravers, wintering for the 

fourth season at Indian Rock Beach, Fla. 

had to cancel their anticipated visit to Art 

Wilson's Ft. Myers party. P. F. Halsey 

writes briefly from Newport News Va., 

"My news is sad. My wife, Mary Shaw Halsey, 

died last Feb. 5 in Richmond, Va." 

John E. Harn, 4646 Marble Hall Rd., Baltimore, 

Md., retired last September, and 

says, "For the first time in my life I am unemployed! 

Fifty years in the building construction 

business is enough." He adds, 

"However, I'm surprised at the number of 

former associates who seek my advice - and 

pay for it." 

Walter G. Seely, Port Chester, is still 

practicing law there. He also serves on the 

board of the YMCA and in Rotary, the 

American Legion, the Masonic Guild, and 

as 1965 chairman of the Community Chest 

drive. John E. Sutton, MD, of Washington, 

Conn., is active as president of the Litchfield 

County Medical Assn. - the oldest county 

association in the US. He has been setting 

up their bicentennial celebration scheduled 

for June 20. He spent the summer of '65 

visiting all the national parks in Arizona 

and Utah. Joseph Silbert, of the American 

Allsafe Co., Buffalo, enjoyed Arizona's 

pleasant climate during the winter, returning 

to Buffalo this spring. 

"Man-am I late!" writes Carl E. Battey 

of Altadena, Calif. "Have been down Mexico 

way for a stay with friends. It's a long drag 

from here to Ithaca so give my best to Tom 

Keating, Bill Cosgrove, Percy Egbert, and 

all the rest of the class when you see them!" 

J. C. Schelliπg pens this," No news except 

that status quo is still in effect - which is all 

to the good." Dr. Albert S. Crawfαrd, of 

Blue Hill, Me., announces retirement from 

neurological surgery but still consults at 

Veterans Hospital, Togus, and neighboring 

institutions. He pays tribute to Cornell saying, 

"I shall always be grateful for my medical 

heritage and training." "Having given up 

most of my business from May 15 to mid- 

September," says C. H. Blackburn of Park 

Ridge, N.J., "my wife and I are doing all 

right. We spend the summer at our cottage 

in Ocean City, Md., and fall, winter, and 

spring at home in Park Ridge."

Women: Fannie H. Dudley 

90 Prospect Ave. 

Middle town, N.Y. 

A welcome letter from Agnes Rathbun 

Paulding, 194 Maple Hill Rd. Huntington: 

"Dear Fannie, 

"Probably I deserve to be 'shot at 

dawn' for all my neglect in not answering 

the various messages I get from 

members of the Class of 1915, but I've 

felt that I didn't have much news to offer. 

"I give you a brief summary of my life 

since June '15. I taught for four years, 

high school science, three of them here 

in Huntington, and one at home in 

Oneonta. Then I was married in 1920. 

My husband died in 1933 and I went 

back to the teaching since I'd gotten a 

life certificate in the previous four years. 

"I was not eligible for the NY State 

retirement at first, since I was not on full 

time, so in order to get a pension I would 

have had to teach beyond the age when 

retirement is mandatory in New York 

State. So I stopped the teaching, and, for 

six years, I was 'cook-manager' in one 

of the local school cafeterias in order to 

get social security before the required retirement 

age. Soon after I stopped the 

teaching, they allowed local teachers to 

take up social security, and, had I known 

that was coming, I could have gotten 

mine on a teacher's salary, which was at 

least three times what I was getting in 

cafeteria work. 

"Since I had to stop the cafeteria work 

at age 70, I've been 'baby sitting' at the 

rate of about 100 hours per month. 

"To pick up a few extra shekels during 

all these years I've made baked goods, 

jams, jellies, etc., whenever I had time 

on my hands. Ha! 

"I have one daughter, who is married 

and living only three miles from here. 

She has two boys, 12 and 10, and they 

make life interesting. 

"So - when I have nothing else to do 

I'm over there. They have an acre in garden 

from which they get produce to eat, 

freeze, and sell to neighbors and friends. 

I help with the freezing, and then try to 

process in some way, any excess. 

"There is never a dull moment, but, 

compared to all the interesting things my 

other classmates do, it doesn't seem interesting 

enough to write about. 

"Fay Newland is the only one with 

whom I've kept in touch. We talked 

about going ίo Reunion but then 'chickened 

out' in the end. We probably would 

have enjoyed it." 

Another 1915er has subscribed to the 

ALUMNI NEWS. That is Mary Sprigg Summers 

of 602 W. Tioga St., Ithaca. Mary is a 

secretary, now retired. 

From Mildred Haff, a report on the 

March 1915 luncheon at Ft. Myers: perhaps 

it was even more successful than the two 

previous. Trustee Fred Wood '24 spoke exceedingly 

well on "The Growing Cornell." 

Of the 51 attendants the women contributed 

16 with spouses and guests: Ann Reeves 

with Don '13 and her sister; Ann (Woodward) 

and Al Richardson; Cecil and Mark 

Schlieper; the Haffs, Marjorie Barberie, 

Helen Comstock, Mabel Rogers, Lura Ware, 

and with us, Ann Bullivant Pfeiffer and 

Karl '12, to say nothing of Alma Nash 

Berry who supported Ann and Don impressively 

at the entrance, labeling us and taking 

our money. We regret that Hilma Bergholtz 

Hopkins has not been able to join us because 

her husband is not strong enough.

Having returned from my long journey 

to the South Pacific, I find myself very much 

in the situation as depicted in a recent cartoon 

I saw of a couple viewing the return of 

their neighbors from a long vacation. The 

husband said to his wife, "Let's hurry over 

and greet the Joneses before they have their 

slides developed." So, I shall say nothing 

about our trip or offer to show any pictures 

until requested. 

A request was received from Charles W. 

Lake '41 to publicize plans arranged for a 

charter flight through United Air Lines leaving 

Milwaukee at 12 noon June 16, Chicago 

1:00 pm, and Detroit 2:30 pm, arriving 

Ithaca 5:00 p.m., at total costs of $90, $70, 

and $50 per person, with an accommodation 

total of 85 people. The cost is over $20 less 

than the commercial fares and alumni in 

the above cities have been circularized. 

Grant Schleicher's letter of Feb. 14, here 

on my return, told of his new address at 121 

Grady St., Bayport, ând included a note 

from Ralph E. Griswold, whose new address 

is 607 Shady Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa. Ralph is 

only semi-retired and sold his home to move 

to an apartment so he is freer to travel. Present 

plans call for him to go to Greece for 

more work on the Agora, while his wife 

spends some time in Spain. 

Raymond P. Sanford has been a most 

modest soul throughout the years. Now 

come to light, through a two-column biographical 

sketch in the Times Herald Record 

of Middletown, some of the unknown facets 

of his career. We didn't know that he was 

chief of the community management division 

of the War Relocation Authority in 

Topaz, Utah, where 10,000 Japanese were 

detained behind barbed wire for the duration 

of World War II. He was also the sole 

impartial witness to see the beating in Detroit 

of UAW leader, Walter Reuther, and 

photographed the 1930 Chicago. Memorial 

Day strike in which scores of Republic Steel 

workers were killed and injured. He began 

his social work career in 1929 as general director 

of The Common Ground, a cooperative 

social effort in Chicago which brought 

him into contact with Jane Addams of Hull 

House and Sen. Paul Douglas of Illinois. 

After the war, he was national education 

consultant to the American Social Health 

Assn. and participated in the joint Alaskan 

effort with the Public Health Service. He is 

now social investigator at Camp La Guardia 

in Chester and although 74, hopes to be at it 

when he reaches 80. 

Clarence (Cupid) Slack, not heard from 

for years, has appeared as a witness to his 

class responsibility. Fully retired and enjoying 

it, he says. His family sounds like a 

Cornell directory, consisting of his daughter, 

Eleanor Foster '41, and her three sons, 

'65, '66, and the third a freshman. Both 

Cupid and his daughter will be on hand for 

their respective Reunions in June-. 

If this is not the finest turn-out of any 

class in the history of Cornell Reunions, it 

will surprise the writer, and I am so positive 

of it that I am ready to say so now in advance 

of the September Column which will 

carry the story and pictures. No longer will 

the July ALUMNI NEWS try to do so. Apparently 

it has never worked out to the full 

advantage of all classes because of the long 

delay beyond the required deadline. Here's 

hoping we are all well and have a very 

happy time at our old stamping ground of 

50 years ago. 

From the chairman of the 50th Reunion: 

Dear Classmates: 

As I write this plea to those who as yet 

haven't signed up for our glorious 50th, 

it is April 21. This will go to our class 

correspondent Frank Thomas and the 

ALUMNI NEWS must have it by April 30. 

As you read this, only a few days remain 

for you to make a most important 

decision. Some, we know, can't make it 

for health reasons and would give anything 

to join their-friends on June 15. It's 

to the others that we're making this last 

appeal. Should you be so ill-advised as 

to not return for your Golden 50th - a 

Glorious Reunion of Friends - you will 

never cease to regret it. Among these 

friends will be our own Doc Sharpe. To 

visit with him again is reason enough to 

snap out of whatever is holding you 

back. 

Come on, Sixteener, pack your bag 

and wire me that you'll be there. If you 

decide after June 7, send the wire to me, 

c/o R. Garret Demarest '63, Alumni 

House, 626 Thurston Ave., Ithaca. I will 

arrive in Ithaca on June 9. 

Re-read the "Inspiring Thoughts from 

Inspired Classmates" in our January and 

March mailings. Russ Welles says: 

"Needless to say, if I can crawl around 

next June, I will be in Ithaca." Let's all 

be there! As Frank Thomas said, "How 

could any reasonably healthy Cornellian 

do otherwise?" 

Charlie Borges was in San Diego for a 

visit recently and we had two very nice 

visits together. I would have recognized 

Charlie even though his hair wasn't as black 

as it was in 1916. He was very helpful with 

the mailing that you received in May. For 

the first time I learned that his career was 

advertising, although now he has retired 

and is living in Santa Barbara.

Kay Francis Cooke and Chester left Seattle 

the middle of April for her sister's home 

in Arizona. Then by easy stages to St. Louis 

Delaware, and finally New Jersey, where 

they planned to visit many friends. Then 

Reunion] We hope many of you will arrive 

on Wednesday, June 15 to join them. Gertrude 

Bates plans to be there then, as do the 

Moores. Dinner together at Willard Straight 

for all the early birds is planned for that 

night. Do join us! 

A few of you are still wavering about Reunion. 

Just forget all the reasons why you 

should not come and come anyway! You 

will never have another 50th! 

Kate Bard Stopp has been on another trip 

by freighter, while Helen Bungart Potter 

fears she can not make Reunion due to a 

trip to Europe. It looks now as if Perlie 

Moody will not be able to come due to illness. 

The Women of '16 have enjoyed another 

year with the ALUMNI NEWS, thanks to the 

generosity of the men of the class. We want 

it recorded that it has been and is greatly 

appreciated.

world was Goichi Nakamoto, who took several 

months doing it with Mrs. Nakamoto.

GRUMMAN GOOSE 

GRUMMAN WIDGEON 

Four generations of proud heritage went into this 

GRUMMAN MALLARD 

GRUMMAN GULFSTREAM I 


new corporate aircraft: GULFSTREAM II 

The fan-jet Gulfstream II is the fifth generation of 

corporate airplanes to be built by Grumman. 

Grumman's first corporate aircraft was the 

Goose, delivered in 1937. Then followed the 

Widgeon. Then the Mallard. And most recently 

the Gulfstream I—more of which were sold than 

any other airplane in its class. 

The fifth generation will be the Gulfstream II, 

the fastest jet corporate airplane on the market. 

This new Grumman achievement will have all the 

operational flexibility of Gulfstream I, plus nonstop 

transcontinental and transoceanic capability 

at a speed of 585 miles per hour. 

Grumman corporate aircraft have traditionally 

provided optimum safety, comfort and convenience. 

Of equal importance is their longevity. 

They just never seem to become obsolete. Goose, 

Widgeon and Mallard are still performing yeoman 

airline or charter service throughout the world. 

The fifth generation Gulfstream 11 will take to the 

skies this summer. Already, chief pilots ^^ 

and crews of leading corporations are ^ggfc ;Ij| 

being briefed for conversion to Gulfstream 

II, for fleet operations in 1967.

After they returned home, they had a visit 

from Israel Cohen who winters in Miami 

Beach and lives in Monticello during the 

summer. Later, a letter from Mrs. Hirooka 

(Ruth Nakamoto '42) stated that Ken Mc- 

Vicar '18 had visited the Nakamotos after 

promising to do so for many years. 

Another Ί7er who made a trip around 

the world the early part of this year was 

Fred Nabenhauer, who was sold on the idea 

by Don Danenhower after Fred had just returned 

from several months in Europe. 

Probably one of the most important trips 

taken by one of our classmates was that by 

"Windy" Windnagle and wife who went to 

South America and had a nice visit with 

Aquiles Armas Mendez in Peru. Letters 

from both Windy and Aquiles stated how 

much pleasure they had in getting together. 

Aquiles has promised to be with us in '67 

for our Big 50th Reunion. 

Bill Vanderbilt drove leisurely from his 

home in Weston, Vt., and stopped to see 

several classmates en route to Clearwater, 

Fla. While in that state, he saw Dunbar 

Hinrichs, who will soon publish another 

book. A subsequent letter from Dunbar 

stated that his book A Round Unvarnished 

Tale had been well received. 

The first of the '17 northerners to go 

south was Bert Cushing, who left the first 

week in October and will return some time 

in May. He wrote that he and Jack Frost 

had attended the big Cornell dinner held in 

Orlando this past winter. Ed Schwartz spent 

several weeks in St. Petersburg, Fla., where 

he had a big celebration on his 70th birthday. 

He hopes to get to our 50th Reunion 

next year. Herb Schneider and wife were 

another '17 couple who spent some time in 

Florida this past winter. 

Art Stern wrote that he had a minor Cornell 

'17 reunion last February in Israel, with 

Julia O. Dυshkin. 

A note from Don Stonebraker in Hollywood, 

Fla., stated that he has sold his Vermont 

summer home, as 1,800 miles is too 

far to drive. In the future he will spend the 

summers in North Carolina which is only 

750 miles away. 

Ells Filby wrote that he will soon leave 

for Florida and will return for our "baby" 

Reunion on May 16. Shortly thereafter, the 

Filbys will go to England for three months. 

Their first temporary address there will be 

Fleming Hotel, London, for June, and the 

July and August address will be Abbey 

Hotel Wywardhouse, Norfolk, England. 

A note from J. Maxwell Pringle states 

that he has sold J. Maxwell Pringle & Co. 

so is no longer connected with it. He is starting 

a new firm called Pringle Advisory Organization, 

Inc., at 25 Broadway, New York. 

He will continue to write a monthly market 

letter on the money markets, with emphasis 

on the mortgage market. 

Walter Krebs was unable to attend our 

"baby" Reunion on May 16 because he was 

in Hawaii for a convention. Bob Strebel also 

could not attend because he had to go south 

for business. 

Just received a new address for Theodore 

V. V. Lautz (Ted), which is 224 Carroll Ave. 

Newport, R.I. 

Now we must confess to a bad blunder. 

The 1966 dues slips state the dues for this 

year are $5.00. An old dues slip was sent to 

the printer as a guide. At that time, the dues 

were $5.00 per year. Several checks have already 

been received to show that Ί7ers are 

on the ball. Most of the checks received 

have been for $10.00 per year, as many of 

our classmates knew that the dues had been 

raised from $5.00 to -$10.00 two years ago 

so as to cover the cost of the class subscription 

for all 1917 men and women. We hope 

when you send us your dues check, you will 

remember that the dues should be $10.00 

per year. We are sorry that this error occurred.

San Diego 82, Calif. 

Members of the Class of 1917 often appear 

to me to be friendlier, more outgoing, 

and certainly more communicative than are 

those of 1918. I say this because it's been 

months since I had even a brief personal 

note from an Ί8er, except a nice long letter 

in late winter from Tut (Elbert P.) Turtle, 

class president, and intermittent very brief 

notes from Jack (John L.) Knight, who has 

for so many years cheerfully handled the 

thankless routine of getting classmates to 

pay their annual dues. Other than these two 

notes, not a word from a soul. Friends of 

the 1917 class, though only a-year older, 

write regularly, cheerfully, and chattily. 

Wright (A. W.) Gibson is one of these: a retired 

Cornell professor, still living in a 

lovely little house on Fall Creek. Wright, 

with whom I roomed back in 1915-16, keeps 

busy with a variety of hobbies, not the least 

of which is the direction of the foreign aid 

program in Liberia. 

Vic (Victor L.) Klee is equally chatty and 

informative in his now-and-then letters. Vic 

lives, as he has for many years, in Santa 

Barbara, Calif.; retired some years ago; is 

a newlywed like myself, which gives us 

much in common. Far be it from me, however, 

to steal material which should be in 

Herb Johnston's '17 column. Without sufficient 

news material about '18, this column 

may get briefer and briefer until like the 

March Hare it fades out altogether. 

Hugh Cosline, 406 Coddington Rd., Ithaca, 

should not be overlooked for an important 

bit of personal news: the arrival of his 

first great-grandchild. Hugh is retired, but 

still does a bit of work for the American 

Agriculturalist, while keeping up with his 

longtime hobbies - gardening and bridge - 

and with church affairs, Kiwanis, and the 

Ithaca Chamber of Commerce. Dick (Richard) 

G. Warren, Long Pond, Buzzards Bay, 

Mass., writes of keeping in touch with various 

Cornell friends in the Cape Cod area, 

plus those he sees on annual visits to the 

Cornell Club of Boston. Dick retired in 

January 1958, but also reports he still manages 

to keep busy with a variety of "miscellaneous" 

activities.

Among the pieces of mail arriving recently 

was "The Cornell Classman," a newsy 

report which gives a nice run-down of the 

Midwinter Workshop Session. It is printed 

in rather small type, which is satisfactory 

for the Ί9ers and younger classes, but a bit 

hard for the Ί8ers to read, and possibly not 

readable at all by Ί6ers. We mention this 

not in a spirit of criticism, but because it is 

now government policy to be solicitous of 

the elderly, who are called "senior citizens" 

in official terminology. 

We are happy to report that more news is 

coming in, thanks to cooperative classmates. 

Like the Department of Agriculture, your 

scribe is equipped to store surplus, so keep 

the news coming. Unlike the department, 

however, we are not equipped to make cash 

loans against stored surplus. 

One thing we do glean from the news reports 

is that classmates and their wives are 

doing a lot of traveling, some of it no doubt 

deferred from pre-retirement days. 

Bob Collacott, whom we had not heard 

from in many a day, has been taking some 

sight-seeing tours. The Collacotts made a 

trip to Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, where they 

spent Christmas with their daughter. Following 

that, they had a trip planned for the end 

of February which would cover Egypt and 

the Nile Valley. Their home address is 7645 

Little Mountain Rd., Mentor, Ohio. 

Frederick W. Loede, who lives at 451 

Brook Ave., Passaic, N.J., retired in 1961 

but since then has been busy as a consultant 

on "parks and recreation." Be sure and take 

time out for the 50th Reunion, Fred, come 

1969. 

Paul N. Boughton, of VΔ Dolson Ave., 

Middletown, is one of the few realtors in 

the class. He writes interestingly about the 

situation in his area: "Still working on the 

sale of land in this area (which is within 65 

miles of New York City). However, it is 

about impossible to find farms for sale at 

prices farmers can afford to pay. Farms have 

been sold for shopping centers, and for 

housing developments at around $1,000 per 

acre. Five years ago, good farms in this area 

were available at $200 to $300 per acre. 

Guess I'll have to move to some area where 

farms are lower in price." 

Nelson B. Delavan continues to spend a 

great deal of time and effort in developing 

Eisenhower College in Seneca Falls, which 

is also Nelson's home town. He says: "We 

expect to start construction this spring and 

open for 300 students in September 1967. I 

am vice chairman of the board of trustees; 

Admiral Lewis L. Strauss is chairman." 

Fay C. Bailey, of 815 E. Edgemont Ave., 

Phoenix, Ariz., writes as follows: 

"The Baileys continue to enjoy retirement 

in Phoenix, and we are not yet 

inmates of one of the many Golden Age 

retreats. We are close to the center of 

the city, convenient to what goes on to 

make life something other than just a 

period of waiting. Many old friends, particularly 

from the Far East, have found 

us and received a hearty welcome. We 

could qualify for Chamber of Commerce 

guides, now that we have done so many 

tours of the Valley of the Sun. Phoenix 

has only this one Ί9er but the winter 

brings Jack Gebhard and Roe Campbell 

to Tucson, and we manage to have at 

least one get-together." 

Edwin C. Higbee, who lives at 33475 Pine 

Tree Rd., Pepper Pike, Cleveland, Ohio, retired 

in 1964 after a busy career. For the 

past few years prior to retirement, he was 

manager of the Cleveland field office of the 

US Department of Commerce. During 

World War II he became a colonel in the 

US Army and was commanding officer of a 

field artillery battalion at Camp Chaffee, 

Ark. 

Ed has done a great deal of traveling, on 

official business and otherwise. He also has 

membership in a wide variety of clubs and 

organizations, including American Audubon 

Society, American Legion, and Royal 

Canadian Yacht Club, to name only a few. 

Ralph E. Noble writes that between May 

3 and Sept. 23 last year, he ran out of the 

excessive heat in the Beeville, Texas area 

and headed north. During that time he covered 

12,400 miles from coast to coast. Six 

weeks were spent in Ithaca and vicinity. 

While there, he needed a book for study, 

Home Repairs Made Easy, by Frankl. He 

says: "I knew there were two copies in the 

Beeville Public Library, and assumed availability 

in large libraries. Would you believe 

it? No copy was available in the Ithaca Public, 

or the Cornell libraries." 

Ralph and all the other home repair enthusiasts 

should get the book your scribe 

uses, namely the telephone book. In time of 

trouble we just look under the appropriate 

title and then call, "Joe, or Gus," as the 

case may be, "come fix." 

Bob Story dropped us a note and said that 

the Cornell Club of Eastern Florida held its 

second annual dinner at the Manatee Yacht 

Club, Port Salerno, March 30. Bob also sent 

a snapshot of Frank Bateman, Ed Carples, 


John McBean, and himself which he said 

was taken after a luncheon conference at 

which refreshments were poured. Our Florida 

gang is really having a good time.

The way our esteemed class president 

runs hither and yon to all parts of the world 

and the USA, you'd think he was running 

for office. Happily, Prexy Walt Archibald is 

neither running for it nor from it. President 

of the American Spice Trade Assn., Walt, 

with wife Dottie (picture) recently completed 

a three-week tour of the Netherlands, 

Belgium, and West Germany, visiting six 

trade associations and 19 spice firms, and investigating 

the possibility of holding a future 

annual convention of Asta in Holland. 

The super-deluxe good-will builders were 

specially entertained by personal and business 

friends everywhere and enjoyed seeing 

several operas in Brussels and Munich. 

Their trip across and back on the SS United 

States provided ample relaxation for vacation, 

made more pleasant by seats at the 

Captain's table on both trips. Shortly after 

their return, the Archibalds were guests at a 

reception honoring Mrs. Indira Gandhi, 

Prime Minister of India, at the home of 

Consul General Gupta in Manhattan. 

Their next important social event carries 

them into the Connecticut hills where they 

will greet a joyful group of classmates on 

Saturday, June 11 at the 1920 picnic at 

"Scotch Pines" with Dick and Kass Edson 

as the most gracious of hosts. No class picnic 

was held last year because of our 45th 

Reunion, but those who attended the two 

previous sessions will not fail to be there. 

We're saving up our green stamps and 

credit cards for that trip east; it's a sure bet 

we won't miss it! 

The Edson estate is a beauty spot of 3V2 

acres in the rolling countryside between 

Norwalk and New Canaan on a winding 

road called Ponus Ave. Their home is 

charming and comfortable and exactly what 

you'd expect in that beautiful natural setting. 

Dick has been manicuring his pride and joy 

since he got back from Florida and it will 

be at its best. The roses will be in bloom, 

the strawberries red and ripe, the bush peas 

ready to be picked, and the lager flowing 

freely under the Anheuser Busch. Bring 

your own sandwich to nibble on and other 

trappings for the fun of it, and we'll guarantee 

you'll have the time of your life. 

This notice might reach you a little late, 

but the mail announcement from our intrepid 

sec'y Benisch should give you explicit 

instructions how to get there. You slide off 

the Merritt Parkway at Exit 38 and it's a 

stone's throw. It's only an hour from Newark, 

Nyack, Netcong, New Haven, New 

York, or Newburgh. Furthermore, but not 

much further, it's two hours or less from 

Philadelphia, Pittston, Pottstown, Pittsfield, 

Providence, or Princeton. So press on, prepare 

to participate. Start talking hard and 

fast to the little woman, dust off the picnic 

basket, call your closest classmate and offer 

to pick him up for the picnic. We'll be there 

looking for you!

A fine example of instant response to a 

request for news! Among those I listed in 

the May issue as classmates about whom I 

had received requests for news, was Polly 

Griffin Cameron. Comes a note from Polly, 

giving her correct address as 2921 S. Ocean 

Blvd., Delray Beach, Fla. It seems we have 

had her old address in Jamaica all these 

years. Polly says she has one son, Peter, 

who is married and living in Oak Park, 111., 

near Chicago. 

Neva Thompson Rύmsey (Mrs. Ralph S.), 

107 Cascadilla St., Ithaca, returned home 

from the winter in Florida. Going through 

accumulated mail, she promptly sent her 

class dues with a note explaining the delay. 

Muriel Fan Bennett, RD 5, Ithaca, writes 

that she has two sons and three grandchildren, 

two boys and a girl. Muriel's health is 

not good, she says, and she has to spend a 

part of each day in her chaise. Never really 

idle, she does what she calls "peasant craft" 

during her enforced rest periods. 

Another who is not well is Helen Sawyer. 

Writing from 1220 Dewey Ave., Wauwatosa, 

Wis., Helen says she is greatly interested in 

Cornell and the class and enjoys reading 

news of classmates. She hears from Evalina 

Bowman Darling and appreciates those 

newsy letters. Other Cornell friends she 

hears from are Agda Swenson Osborn and 

Jeanette Heertje Moriarty '19 (Mrs. John 

C.) of Waterbury, Conn. 

While I was in California in late March, 

en route to Hawaii, I had several happy days 

with Helen Rider Working (Mrs. Holbrook), 

at the Working home in Palo Alto. Helen 

and Brook took me on a lovely drive to see 

the spring blossoms, something we do not 

get in New York State as early as March. A 

welcome sight to this winter-weary New 

Yorker, as were the flowers and flowering 

trees and shrubs of Hawaii. In Honolulu 

and also at Mauna Kea, where I had a glorious 

week at the fabulous new Rockefeller 

resort, I visited with several Cornellians, but 

none of the Class of 1920. 

From Cora Cooke, down in Tucson, Ariz., 

I had a long and newsy letter. Cora says 

that she is getting better all the time and is 

planning already on that 50th Reunion of 

1920 in 1970. She enjoys greatly the news 

of classmates, and was especially glad to 

read in a recent issue about Myrtle Lawrence, 

from whom she had not heard in a 

long time. Cora's address is c/o Wilhite, 

317 E. Speedway, Tucson. 

Myrtle was good enough to share with me 

a newsy letter she had from Alice McNulry 

Vieweg (wife of Hermann F. '21). There is 

not space enough this month to quote it as 

extensively as I would like, so I'll keep it 

for next month. 

Bernice Reynolds Wheeler (Mrs. Fred E.) 

writes from her home in Buffalo that she 

has seen very few of her classmates in the 

past few years. Until the death of her husband 

(Class of Ί9), the Wheelers lived in 

New England. She has been quite ill and 

there have been frequent long illnesses 

among members of her family, so that of 

late years Bernice's "career has turned into 

a combined lesson in patience and patients." 

She writes: "I sit by my window overlooking 

Lake Erie and, before I know it, the lake 

is transported in my mind into a wind-tossed 

image of our blue jCayuga. Many thoughts 

of my years at Cornell pass through my 

mind and I am glad to remember that it has 

been my privilege to be a Cornellian." 

Jacqueline Roach Walsh (Mrs. Edward 

J.), from whom we have heard only infrequently 

since our freshman year, the one 

year she was at Cornell, writes that her address 

is 1136 Placetas Ave., Coral Gables, 

Fla. 

There was a round of farewell parties for 

Alice Erskine in late April, just before she 

moved to Atlanta. She is going to spend the 

summer in Maine and Vermont, and tells 

me she will be with me for a few days, at 

least, in August in East Hampton, where I 

shall be for the summer.

The 45th Reunion of the Class of 1921 is 

just a few days away. The arrangements are 

complete and well organized. Nothing remains 

but the fireworks. See you then for a 

few happy days on the campus, not quite 

the one we knew, but with old friends in attendance 

we should find it a pleasant place. 

Most of the old trees are there to sit under, 

listening to the strains of the little German 

band, mit ein glass beer. Happy anniversary! 

Jack (John R.) Fleming served as chief, 

office of special areas branch of the BEW 

during World War II. He later served as a 

reporter on the Springfield (Mass.) Union, 

as editor for the Extension Service at Ohio 

State, with the US Department of Agriculture, 

and following World War II joined the 

US News & World Report of which he is 

now directing editor of the internal staff. 

On Friday evening, April 15, Jack joined 

John Fischer, editor-in-chief of Harper's; 

Max Ways, an assistant managing editor of 

Fortune, and Dr. Shannon McCune for an 

8 p.m. "Conversation Among Friends" in 

the Ira Allen Chapel on the Vermont campus. 

The following day Dr. McCune was 

installed as the 18th president of the U of 

Vermont. Like the Saturday morning inaugural, 

the "conversation" was open to the 

public as well as to faculty, students, and 

inaugural guests. 

Fischer, Fleming, Ways, and McCune 

were involved in economic intelligence and 

analysis work for the Board of Economic 

Warfare in Washington during World War 

II. They occasionally had luncheon and dinner 

discussions together. Their "conversation" 

arose out of that war-time service and 

marked a reunion after 24 years in which 

the four have not met as a group. 

The justices of the Appellate Division, 

Third Department of the New York State 

Supreme Court, appointed Allan Treman to 

the committee on character and fitness of 

candidates for admission to the Bar in the 

Sixth Judicial District, an appointment regarded 

as a high honor in the legal profession. 

Al took his law degree in 1924 at Cornell, 

where he lectured for 37 years on business 

law. A former president of the Federation 

of Bar Associations, Sixth Judicial District, 

a former trustee of Cornell, and a former 

city attorney of Ithaca, Treman has been a 

practicing lawyer since 1924. He is a member 

of the firm Treman & Clynes of Ithaca. 

To all these honors may be added his 

exalted position as secretary of the Cornell 

Class of 1921. 

Among memoranda received from classmates 

are the following: Don (Donald C.) 

June 1966 37

Fabel of 2488 Charney Rd., Cleveland 

Heights, Ohio, is chairman of the Department 

of Metallurgical Engineering at Cleveland 

State U. Milt (Dr. Milton H.) Gennis 

of 1432 S. Peoria, Tulsa, Okla., is president 

of the National Board of Podiatry Examiners 

and treasurer of the state society, a 

member of the American Society of Clinical 

Hypnotists, and still lectures occasionally. 

Milt, we may need you at the Reunion! Al

Silver Springs, Md., lives for his summers 

in Maine. Milo F. Winchester, Millertown, 

on the other hand, lives for his winter vacations 

at 1615 Lilac Lane, Venice Gardens, 

in Venice, Fla. Harry E. Buck of 21 Congress 

St., Trumansburg, finds retirement "active 

and rewarding. I was elected president 

of Trumansburg Senior Citizens in June 

1965, and am also serving as police commissioner 

of Trumansburg, trustee of the 

First Federated Church of Ulysses, and trustee 

of the Community Council." Bob (Robert 

A.) Mitchell, 1910 Longcome Dr., Wilmington, 

Del., instead of retiring as he intended 

last fall, became commissioner of the 

Department of Public Works of Wilmington. 

John M. Hoerle will report to us at the Reunion 

in June, as will J. Arvid Peterson of 

7330 Sante Fe Dr., Houston, Texas. 

Torts (Waldemar J.) Gallman of 3312 

Woodley Rd., NW, Washington, D.C., sent 

along an interesting note last fall. 

"I have just completed a two and onehalf 

year contract in Seoul acting as adviser 

to the Foreign Service Institute for 

Korean Foreign Service officers. During 

this period I visited Saigon, Manila, and 

Taipei, at the request of the foreign ministers 

there, to help with the planning of 

similar training institutes. Now I have 

been invited by the Foreign Office in 

Saigon, where planning is quite advanced, 

to come there and act in an advisory capacity, 

as I did in Seoul. I am interested 

and, after a short time back in Washington, 

expect to set out for Saigon. For a 

retired ambassador, like me, it is most 

stimulating and satisfying to be able to 

have a part in training Foreign Service 

officers. It seems that, in spite of my 

years, I am embarked on a second career." 

Luther S. West of 137 W. Ridge St., Marquette, 

Mich., retired into an avocational 

job. 

"I retired as dean of Arts & Science at 

Northern Michigan U on July 1, 1965. 

Several relatives journeyed to Marquette 

for the retirement dinner which was most 

heart-warming. Beatrice and I will continue 

our residence in Marquette, at least 

for the ensuing year; especially as I have 

a year to go as president of the Michigan 

Academy of Science, Arts & Letters. I 

have been given a bit of research space 

in the Department of Biology; so mail 

will reach me if addressed via the university. 

No more grandchildren. Fourteen 

since last report." 

Dave (Rowland F.) Davis, likewise, has 

kept busy after retirement. 

"Since retiring from the position of 

products planning engineer of the American 

Telephone & Telegraph Co. in August 

1963,1 have had a 'ball' with barbershop 

singing, gardening, and associations 

with two nationally known foundations. 

Additionally, my wife (Sophie Deylen) 

and I have been able to see more of this 

great country of ours. Our sons (Bruce 

D. '50 and Kenneth D. '54) are happily 

married and we are blessed with six 

grandchildren. At present, Kenneth a captain 

in the Medical Corps of the US 

Army (and an orthopedic surgeon) is 

with the 385th Evacuation Hospital Unit 

in Vietnam." 

The Davises live at 35 Priscilla Ave., 

Yonkers.

Reunion will be under way at the time 

you will be reading this column. And I think 

you will be interested to have a piece of information 

about our Reunion chairman, 

Margaret Kirkwood Taylor (Mrs. J. Laning). 

The District of Columbia Federation of 

Business & Professional Women's Clubs 

honored her, a few years ago, with the citation 

- "Business Woman of the Year." 

Theresa Fox Hart (Mrs. George H.) continues 

to be one of the peripatetic members 

of the class. This past winter she became 

interested in seeing the countries to the 

south of us. She had an interesting time in 

Mexico and then went further on down for 

an additional 10 weeks of studying South 

American countries. We will hope to see 

pictures of the highlights when she comes to 

us from California for Reunion. 

From the April mailing of the class letter 

which contained the Reunion reservation 

sheet, I have learned that in the midst of 

the travails of moving some of our classmates 

have forgotten to send the new address 

to the Alumni Office. Do remember 

that we need that new address to keep in 

touch with you. 

This will be my last report to you via the 

ALUMNI NEWS. It has been a delight to be 

in the spot to receive letters from all of you 

and to put the news items into print. I hope 

you have enjoyed reading them.

Back in 1922 and soon after the profs had 

given them their all, two of our more lanky 

guys took the advice of Horace Greeley and 

headed west. At Kalamazoo, Mich, they 

both stopped to peddle their respective 

know-how to the Clarage Fan Co., and now, 

after practically 44 years, they've both decided 

to retire. They are Bob Wasson (left) 

and Sewell Downs. Bob, I believe, stuck 

closer to the sales and business end, while 

Sewell was strictly the engineer. However, 

they both reached the top. Wasson served 

as president from 1960 to 1964 when he 

moved up to chairman, and was immediately 

replaced by Downs who was president 

on April 30 when they both retired. Quite 

naturally, they are both being retained as 

consultants on a standby basis. Bob claims 

to be one of the better golfers, while SewelΓs 

claim to fame is scientific fishing, so from 

here on in, while one is plodding the fairways, 

the other will hit the streams. Both 

will continue to make their homes in Kalamazoo, 

but Bob expects to spend winters in 

Florida. 

Rex Daddisman of 575 Ortega St., San 

Francisco, retired on Dec. 31, 1965 as sales 

manager, Barrett Construction, but is still 

available as a consulting engineer. 

On Feb. 17 the Newark Academy held a 

testimonial dinner in honor of Frederick G. 

Eberhardt, a member of their Class of 1918. 

The citation states, "His significant contributions 

to the community and to society, and 

his exemplary leadership and citizenship, 

reflect great honor upon Newark Academy." 

Just in case you are wondering who the 

above-named gentleman is, he is better 

known to us as Dick. (Where the Frederick 

came from is not clear.) Dick was associated 

with Gould & Eberhardt, makers of those 

famous gear hobbers and other machine 

tools. He retired as vice president in 1959. 

Ted Baldwin wrote to say that The Best 

Class in Cornell History is invited to a barbecue 

at Jack Maloney's spacious farm up at 

North Lansing on Saturday afternoon, June 

18. In the years past, we have enjoyed some 

happy parties on those premises and I for 

one am planning to be there this year. 

George Hanselman is acting as chairman for 

the occasion and in order to plan properly, 

he would like to know by June 15 how many 

are expected. Drop him a note at 110 Upson 

Hall and let's hope for a real turnout. 

Wives, families, neighbors, and others are 

invited. 

Incidentally, Ted Baldwin, Andy Baldwin, 

Emmet Murphy, Tommy Thompson, and 

others had a reunion in Florida early in 

April.

Donald M. (Don) Halley has for many 

years been a professor at the School of 

Business Administration at Tulane U. In 

order to put a little variety in his academic 

career, he spent last year teaching at the 

U of the Philippines. He is now back at 

Tulane for his last year as an active member 

of the faculty, and during this summer, he 

will join the Emeriti. Boy, pull up another 

rocking chair for the professor. 

John B. (Johnnie) Ogden is not quite as 

tough as he thinks he is. He recently tried 

out some of his old hockey maneuvers, and 

after three steps on the ice, landed on his 

back with five broken ribs. He strongly recommends 

against any such bravado, particularly 

if the skater has been off the ice for 25 

years. He reports that he is delightfully unemployed, 

and enjoying it. 

William A. (Bill) Schreyer has officially 

retired as director, secretary, and treasurer 

of Baldwin-Ehret-Hill, Inc. after 24 years of 

service. He is now limbering up for a maritime 

career in his new cabin cruiser "Pollywog 

II." Your correspondent suspects that 

Bill's wife Polly had a hand in naming the 

boat, and incidentally, she also exercises a 

directing hand on Bill, who helps her in the 

conduct of her real-estate business in and 

around Princeton, N.J.

TRUSTEE Walker L. Cisler '22, chairman of the executive committee of the Board of 

Trustees and chairman of the Detroit Edison Co., talks with his escorts during an orientation 

visit to the U.S. Military Academy. Mr. Cisler was one of seven leaders of commerce 

and industry who visited the Academy for briefing on how the Military Academy serves 

the national defense. With Mr. Cisler are Cadet First Classmen (seniors) Peter F. Donnell 

(left) and William R. McKinney.

part-time assignment. He has undertaken to 

gather information on the life of John R. 

Mott '80, famous humanitarian and Nobel 

prize-winner, who was born in Livingston

What comes next? 

R. G. (Tom) Watt still lives in Honolulu, 

but the last message from him indicates that 

he does not see much of home plate. He is 

supposed to be retired, but reports working 

harder than ever, with much travel looking 

after foreign sugar operations. During the 

last year his itinerary included India, Pakistan, 

Japan, Argentina, and Peru. 

Dr. Irving S. (Irv) Wright was recently 

installed as president of the American College 

of Physicians at that group's 47th annual 

meeting in the New York Hilton Hotel. 

Irv was elected to the position some time 

ago, but in accordance with long-established 

practice, installation follows election by several 

months. Not many more rungs on the 

ladder for Irv. 

Robert J. (Bob) Lansdowne is still hard at 

work as senior partner in the law firm of 

Lansdowne, Horning & Elfrin, in Buffalo. 

He devotes most of his professional effort 

to corporate and tax matters, and in his 

spare time serves as director of several 

corporations. He has made a hobby of collecting 

presidencies. In recent years, he has 

been president of the Bar Assn. of Erie 

County, Lawyers Club of Buffalo, Cornell 

Club of Buffalo, and of Buffalo Law School 

Alumni. Anyone in need of a good presiding 

officer might well remember Bob, if he can 

find a vacant place in his busy schedule. 

There are two sons in his family. One, 

Robert S., strayed from the fold and got 

degrees at Amherst and Columbia, The 

other, James P., is Cornell BME '64, and 

MBA '65. 

Victor M. Cortina is assistant general 

manager of Central Romana Corp., one of 

the largest sugar factories in the world, located 

in La Romano, Dominican Republic. 

After many years with the company, he expects 

to retire at the end of this year, and 

plans to live in the US. His older son is in 

the peanut oil business in Santo Domingo, 

and the younger one is working for Shell 

Co. in the US. 

Carl I. Baker tells his story a lot better 

than I can. I quote him: 

"It is impressive to read in the ALUMNI 

NEWS how the men and women of '23 

continue their impressive good-deeding 

all around the world. Mine are the short 

and simple annals of the poor: no more 

wealth, fame, grandchildren, adventure 

than last year or the years before; no 

more gold stars on St. Peter's scroll either, 

I fear. Same job, same splendid 

apartment up over N.Y. and N.J., same 

superlative wife. How does one make an 

ALUMNI NEWS item out of sameness?" 

Malcolm E. (Mac) Smith is the official 

class reporter for the District of Columbia 

and environs. Mac shuns retirement, and 

elects to continue with the US Dept. of 

Agriculture where he is still enjoying his 

job. He reports that Lawrence M. (Larry) 

Vaughan recently retired after many years 

with the Extension Service of the Dept. of 

Agriculture. Retirement has brought Larry 

relief from years of extensive traveling, and 

he and his wife are relaxing in their Bethesda, 

Md. home before starting out on 

some traveling of their own choice.

According to a recent publicity release 

from MIT, Pietro Belluschi, a leading architect, 

has retired as dean of the School of 

Architecture & Planning at MIT. But he has 

by no means retired as an architect. He has 

agreed to be the architect for a new dormitory 

to be constructed at MIT and is engaged 

in the design of a score of other 

buildings - some of them among the most 

important in this country. They include: 

Julliard School of Music, Lincoln Center for 

the Performing Arts, New York; High 

School for the Performing Arts, New York; 

St. Mary's Roman Catholic Cathedral, San 

Francisco; World lίeadquarters for Bank of 

America, San Francisco; and Ramon Magsaysay 

Memorial Office Building, Manila. 

Dean Belluschi's role in the planning of 

buildings varies. Sometimes he is the principal 

architect, as in the case of the MIT dormitory, 

the Juilliard School, and the High 

School for the Performing Arts. Usually he 

is associated with other architects, but more 

frequently than not, his basic concept is 

adopted. He is likely to be the chief creative 

force behind a new building. 

Born in Ancona, Italy, in 1899, he qualified 

for the degree of Doctor of Civil Engineering 

at the University of Rome in 1922. 

After working for a time as an inspector on a 

housing development, he came to the United 

States on one of the first exchange scholarships 

from Italy and studied at Cornell, 

where he received the degree of civil engineer. 

After a year with the Bunker Hill & 

Sullivan Mining Co. in Idaho, he joined the 

staff of one of the oldest and largest architectural 

firms in the Northwest, A. E. Doyle 

& Associates. He became head of the firm 

and changed its name to "Pietro Belluschi, 

Architect," in 1943. 

Dozens of churches, houses, and other 

buildings in the Northwest are evidence of 

Belluschi's creativity. In 1929 he designed 

the Portland Art Museum, and his Equitable 

Building in Portland was selected as one of 

the 100 best American buildings in the 

1918-38 period. The distinctive style of 

houses which he designed, characterized by 

informality and the decorative use of Oregon 

fir and hemlock, became famous. 

After becoming Dean at MIT, Belluschi 

fortified the visual arts program, making 

new courses and facilities available not only 

to architectural students but to other undergraduates 

at the Institute. The staff of the 

Department of Architecture was increased 

by two-thirds. In the Department of City 

and Regional Planning the graduate program 

was strengthened, and the PhD degree 

was offered for the first time. Through a 

cooperative program with Harvard, the Joint 

Center for Urban Studies was founded. 

Meanwhile, Dean Belluschi continued his 

architectural practice. Although he usually 

is associated with other architects in the 

planning of a building, he works alone as a 

designer. The Pan-American Building in 

New York has been the largest building 

with which he has been concerned. He and 

Walter Gropius were consulting architects 

to Richard Roth, the principal architect. 

But Belluschi is best known for his 

churches, to which he invariably has brought 

imaginative new arrangements and details, 

departing from traditional ecclesiastical 

styles but at the same time avoiding freakish 

novelty. He designed the First Lutheran 

Church in Boston, the Church of the Redeemer 

in Baltimore, the Church and Monastery 

for Portsmouth Priory in Rhode 

Island, Trinity Episcopal Church in Concord, 

Mass., Temple Israel in Swampscott, 

Mass., and Park Avenue Congregational 

Church in Arlington, Mass. 

Belluschi's influence has been greatly extended 

through his service on architectural 

juries and as an adviser. He was appointed 

to the National Commission of Fine Arts by 

President Truman and has been an adviser 

to the State Department on the design of 

buildings abroad. He was a member of the 

Board of Consultants for the Lincoln Center 

in New York and has been working with 

the Boston Redevelopment Authority. He 

has received dozens of awards and other 

honors, the most recent having been the 

June 1966 39

decoration from the President of Italy of 

Knight Commander in the Order of Merit. 

Belluschi has two sons, Peter, a forestry 

engineer who lives in Washington, and Anthony, 

an architectural student at the Rhode 

Island School of Design.

after 15 years of general practice, he

luncheon meeting of the Cornell Club of Tucson on Feb. 17. The meeting was held in the 

Student Union Building of the University of Arizona. Others in the picture are (1. to r.):

Crandall '17, Club president; and Harvey T. Munn '12, chairman of the luncheon. 

to the annual Cornell Fund drives. Just recently 

he made a handsome donation to 

the Cornell Medical School capital fund 

drive. Stu, as our class secretary, has notified 

Christensen that we will gladly keep 

him on the class lists and consider him a life 

member of the class, exempt from further 

dues. With his distinguished background at 

the age of 84, he is well deserving of this 

recognition. 

I recently heard from Dr. Christensen 

in response to a letter of mine. He graduated 

from Marquette in 1908 with an MD 

degree. Most of his training was taken in 

Milwaukee Medical College which became 

the Medical Department of Marquette in 

1907. He was a first lieutenant in World 

War I. After general practice and advanced 

study at Cornell, he studied at the 

U of Vienna in Europe with visits to hospitals 

in Budapest, Berlin, and Copenhagen. 

In 1920 he became a Fellow of the Wisconsin 

Surgical Society and in 1927 a Fellow of 

the American College of Surgeons. He has 

three daughters. The youngest, June (Northwestern 

BS and Marquette MD '44), married 

a classmate, Dr. Leo R. Grinney. They 

have four boys. She limits her medical practice 

to diseases of women and children. 

Their offices are in the same building as her 

father's in Racine. His oldest daughter, 

Myrtle Hegele (Wittenberg '34), lives in 

Urbana, Ohio, and has four children. His 

second daughter, Carol Moore (Northwestern 

'38), is a teacher in Mason City, Iowa 

and has two children. 

Dr. Christensen was chief of staff at St. 

Luke's Hospital (Racine) for four years, 

and chief of surgery for five years. He voluntarily 

stopped doing major surgery at the 

age of 70, but still does some minor surgery 

and limited general practice, mostly geriatrics. 

After all this professional activity he 

finally decided on a vacation and recently 

spent six weeks in Hawaii. He is pictured 

with his wife just before their golden wedding 

anniversary in 1959. 

Not too long ago Stu Richardson sent out 

his dues notices and we have lots to report. 

George A. Porter, 265 Warrington Rd., 

Bloomfield Hills, Mich., and "Shorty" Landback 

have been working together for about 

40 years. Shorty is to retire this year and 

George says he will miss him greatly. 

George has one married son with two children, 

and says he and his wife are looking 

forward to a trip out Arizona way. 

Henry A. Gerken (14 Tamarala, Cornwall)

Robert W. Hill is still at 1260 Michigan 

Ave., Cincinnati 8. Both of his daughters are 

married - one to an advertising man in 

Switzerland and the other to a Cincinnati 

lawyer. Two grandchildren speak French

board of directors of the American Textbook 

Publishing Assn., is a trustee of Bethesda 

Hospital, president of South-Western 

Publishing Co., and boasts a golf handicap 

of 14. 

I am delighted to report news of George 

S. Rawlins, 101 Wrenwood Lane, Charlotte, 

N.C. He is now executive vice president of 

J. N. Pease Associates, an architect-engineer 

firm with about 120 employees. His practice 

is in the municipal field and in the area of 

commercial, institutional, and industrial 

building. His personal interest is in sanitary 

engineering. In the past he has been president 

of Professional Engineers in North 

Carolina, national director and at present 

vice president of National Society of Pro- 


fessional Engineers, chairman of North Carolina 

section, American Society of Civil Engineers, 

director AWWA, director WPCF, 

president of the Charlotte Engineers Club, 

a member and vice chairman of N.C. Board 

of Registration of Professional Engineers &

Clyde (Bud) Jennings reports his Middlebury, 

Conn, suburban life with wife Katie 

means mowing the lawn, but not shoveling 

snow, playing some golf, going to bed reasonably 

early at times, but staying up too 

late at others because little parties get to be 

big parties. Bud is in the security business 

with Cooley & Co. and drives to Waterbury, 

Conn., each day the New York Stock Exchange 

is open. By now Bud and Katie will 

have gone to Florida and then on to 

Dorado, Puerto Rico, where son Joel is upholding 

the tradition of a Jennings being 

in the hotel business from the day the Cornell 

Hotel School began. Joel is manager of 

the Dorado Beach Hotel.

and Carl Schraubstader filled the breach 

with their customary excellent entertainment. 

The enthusiasm for the coming Reunion and 

special 40th Anniversary Class Fund Gift to

Don Whiting sends in the following: 

"Just returned to 1396 Warner Rd., 

Meadowbrook, Pa. on March 31 after 

spending 16 months on St. Croix, Virgin 

Islands working with the Virgin Islands 

National Bank which has been owned by 

the Pennsylvania Co. for Banking & 

Trusts, Phila., Pa. for the past six and 

one-half years. Saw Hugh Hilder quite 

frequently. He is living on St. Croix permanently, 

as you know, although at present 

is on a round-the-world cruise. I retired 

from the Pa. Co. as of March 31, 

but started to work on April 18 for another 

bank-The Industrial Valley Bank 

& Trust Co. Incidentally, will not be required 

to retire at age 65. Unfortunately, 

because of new commitment, I will not 

be able to make the Reunion in June. 

Tell Schuyler Tarbell I have had the 

pleasure of knowing two fine people and 

friends of his - the Gordon Browns from 

Manhasset; Jean was. my secretary for 

the past six months." 

News about Schuyler Paterson and 

Maurice B. White has kindly been provided 

by the latter in these two paragraphs: 

"Schuyler Paterson and I have been 

giving thought to whether or not we will 

make the Reunion in June. Pat had a 

lengthy bout with heart trouble a couple 

of years ago and is planning to retire 

some time in June. He has just completed 

a new home in northeastern 

Pennsylvania and I take it will be pretty 

well occupied in disposing of his present 

home in Garden City, moving, etc., and 

so I do not think he will be able to make 

it. 

"For myself, I have made plans for a 

trip to Egypt and the Holy Land in May 

and my younger son's graduation from 

law school will use up the one day of 

vacation remaining after the trip is over. 

Last year I took my vacation in November 

and wouldn't have felt any compunction 

about asking for a couple of days off 

to attend a Reunion. However, this year 

I will have just gotten back from vacation 

and, furthermore, Pat, who works 

for the same boss, will have just retired, 

so I think it behooves me to forego our 

40th - much as I would like to be there."

Karl Dodge, enclosing a clipping on our 

good friend and classmate the late Irving 

Woolson, penned this anecdote: 

"Irv was my classmate, fraternity 

brother, and usually my Reunion roommate. 

There is no one else who has all 

those qualifications. I never will forget 

the time we flew to Ithaca for Reunion 

and were met by the DeSoto pace -car 

that had recently participated at the Indianapolis 

'500.' While driving around, 

we were stopped at a red light; a car 

with several little boy passengers pulled 

up next to us and there was much point-

Charles Schaaff (picture), new chief executive 

officer of Massachusetts Mutual Life 

Ins. Co., is the first 

former agent named 

to that position in the 

company's 114-year 

history. Under his 

guidance as president 

since 1962, the company 

advanced to 

10th position among 

1,600 insurance firms, 

with $12.4 billion of 

insurance in force. It is also listed 40th in 

all the nation's business organizations with 

$3.3 billion in assets. Much of the company's 

unprecedented growth has been attributed 

to Charlie's wide knowledge of the 

June 1966 41

insurance business from salesman in Rochester 

in 1931 to general agent in Syracuse in 

1937 and Rochester in 1941. As a salesman, 

he sold more than $10 million of life insurance, 

becoming a member of the Million 

Dollar Table and Chartered Life Underwriter. 

A native of Washington, D.C., he came 

to Cornell from the famed Deep Springs 

Ranch School of California where he won a 

full scholarship awarded by Telluride Assn. 

In his senior year he was editor of the Cornell 

Daily Sun and president of Willard 

Straight Hall. Active in many insurance organizations, 

he serves as trustee, director, 

chairman, and member of various committees 

and boards. Active in civic affairs, he is 

a corporator of American International 

College, Springfield Hospital, and United 

Fund. He is a member of Longmeadow 

Country Club, Genesee Valley Club of 

Rochester, Cornell Club of New York, Cornell 

Club of Western Mass., Beaver Club, 

Montreal, and president of Colony Club.

Manson Benedict (picture), head of the 

Department of Nuclear Engineering at 

MIT, has received 

the Perkin Medal for 

1966. Established in 

1906, the medal is 

awarded annually for 

outstanding work in 

applied chemistry. 

Presentation was made 

recently at the annual 

Perkin Medal dinner 

of the American section 

of the Society of Chemical Industry at 

the New York Hilton Hotel. 

The Perkin Medalist is chosen by a jury 

of award composed of officers of the American 

section of the Society and representatives 

of the American Chemical Society, 

the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, 

the Electrochemical Society, the 

American Section of the Societe de Chimie 

Industrielle, and the American Institute of 

Chemists. In announcing Benedict as the 

1966 Medalist, the jury cited his contributions 

to the successful design and operation 

of the first gaseous diffusion process. 

A graduate in chemistry on the hill, Manson 

received his PhD in chemistry in 1935 

from MIT, where his early research was 

concerned with the absolute temperature 

scale. His work in physical chemistry extended 

over a 12-year period at MIT, Harvard 

(where he was a National Research 

Fellow in chemistry), National Aniline & 

Chemical Co. (now Allied Chemical's National 

Aniline division), and M. W. Kellogg 

Co 

Ȯne of Manson's outstanding contributions 

in the field of industrial chemistry was 

his extensive research, during the period 

1938-1943, on the properties of hydrocarbons, 

in the course of which he developed a 

widely used equation of state for these 

compounds. During World War II, as head 

of the process development division of Kellex 

Corp., a wartime subsidiary of M. W. 

Kellogg Co., he was in charge of the process 

design of the gaseous diffusion plant 

which was constructed for the Manhattan 

Project at Oak Ridge for concentration of 

Uranium-235. In addition, he has made extensive 

contributions to work in extraction 

and azeotropic distillation, to the theory of 

multi-stage operations, and to new processes 

for heavy water concentration. His most recent 

research has been in the analysis of 

fuel cycles for nuclear reactors. His students 

have made significant contributions to research 

on heavy water separation, solvent 

extraction, and fuel cycle analysis. 

Manson returned to MIT in 1951 to organize 

a graduate program in nuclear 

engineering; under his leadership, the Department 

of Nuclear Engineering was established 

in 1958. He has played a prominent 

advisory role in the government's nuclear 

energy program as member of the advisory 

committee on reactor safeguards and of the 

Atomic Energy Commission's general advisory 

committee, which he served as chairman 

from 1962 to 1964.

Cornell Day Chauffeurs 

• The annual Cornell Day, held April 

29-May 1, found 499 secondary school 

juniors on campus for a taste of university 

life. The prospective students were 

brought to Ithaca by 109 alumni "chauffeurs" 

representing 43 secondary school 

committees. 

Housed in dormitories and fraternities, 

the prospects attended lectures, talked 

with professors, toured the campus and 

departments of their choice, and were 

entertained by undergraduates. 

Harvey Krouse '25, associate director 

of admissions relations and staff coordinator 

of the event, was assisted by Peter 

J. Contuzzi '67, undergraduate chairman. 

James A. Mullane '35 of Springfield, 

Mass., was manager and professional 

for a chauffeurs' golf tournament. Walter 

A. Snickenberger, dean of admissions, 

held an informal meeting before the Saturday 

noon luncheon for alumni chauffeurs. 

After the luncheon, which was 

presided over by E. Laurence Burrows 

'34 of Pittsburgh, Steven Muller, PhD 

'58, vice president for public relations, 

gave a short talk. 

Donald Dickason '53, director of admissions 

relations, held a dinner meeting 

on Friday evening with those chauffeurs 

who were also chairmen of secondary 

school committees. Dean Andrew Schultz 

'36, PhD '41, of the Engineering College 

spoke at the dinner. 

The sub-Frosh were entertained Saturday 

night at a concert presented by the 

Cornell University Glee Club and the 

Sherwoods. Later, there were get-togethers 

with associate football coach Chuck 

Gottfried and with members of the Undergraduate 

Secondary School Committee.

MIT. They have two daughters, both of 

whom are married to scientists. 

Associates and friends of the late Raymond 

W. Short, have founded the Raymond 

W. Short Memorial Fund to establish a 

reading room in his honor in the new Hofstra 

U Library. The announcement stated 

in part, 

"Dr. Short was the author of many 

scholarly and critical articles in numerous 

periodicals. He was also remarkably 

successful as an editor; most of his books 

have gone through several editions and 

still are among the most highly respected 

and widely used texts in colleges. They 

include Short Stories for Study, with 

R. B. Sewall, 1941; Four Great American 

Novels, 1946; and Main Lines of 

American Literature, with W. S. Scott, 

1954. 

"His strongest impact was made, however, 

not as editor and scholar, but rather 

as teacher. Former students recall with 

what unobtrusive organization, incisive 

rational exposition, and lambent critical 

intelligence he conducted his classes, and 

indeed, all his meetings with students. 

Many of these students later became 

teachers themselves, with the special advantage 

of having Dr. Short as a model 

of excellence. His colleagues, too, shared 

the privilege, since the humanistic, rational, 

and critical intelligence which informed 

his classroom discussions pervaded 

all his human relations."

It's now Kenneth Baker, executive director, 

Holiday Inn, 98th S.-Airport Boulevard, 

Los Angeles. Be sure to send word on 

all the traveling '29ers who check in with 

you, Ken. 

In answer to a recent query, Doug Orton 

can be reached at Chateau Champlain, East 

Parkway, Scarsdale. What's new, Doug? 

Ferris Kneen, class representative for 

the Cornell Fund, reminds us all of our 

special responsibility to contribute. It was 

my privilege to be delegated to contact the 

group of alumni living within a certain 

radius of my home and I can report that 

they all contributed a little more than last 

year. 

George (Giff) Stoll, 22 Grove St., Warsaw, 

is still teaching school, with six years

Louise and Al Knight Jr., 2872 Sugartree 

Rd., Nashville, Tenn., took off on April 14 

for a four-week vacation in Europe, with the 

promise of a full report on places visited 

when they return. 

Jim Merrill is now at 2881 Walnut 

Ridge, Akron, Ohio. The column can't report 

much progress on regional '29ers clubs, 

but it will certainly keep trying to get this 

worthy project off the ground. How about 

your area, Jim? 

Theodore (Ted) Heine, 28 Nixon Ave., 

Staten Island, has retired from the N.Y. 

Telephone Company, as of May 1. Congratulations, 

Ted, on making the rocking 

chair, pipe, and slippers move. Let the column 

know your particular modus operandi. 

I'm sure at least 90 per cent of us are thinking 

about one. A report on this from other 

'29 retirees would be most welcome. 

Ted OΉart, 1163 Merwins Lane, Westport, 

had an interesting trip to Cornell with 

a group interested in sending their kids to 

the university. Ted's cousin, Prof. Ferris 

Cronkhite, asst. dean, Arts & Sciences, was 

the host. How about a brief report, Ted? 

Ralph R. Moscowitz, 1145 Eastern Parkway,

Irene Huber Moog (Mrs. Emanuel) 7ID 

Calle Aragon, Laguna Hills, Calif., has recently 

retired and sold her gift shop, The 

Landmark, which she has been running 

since 1948. Part of the agreement in selling 

the business was that Irene continue the 

buying for a year. Aside from that work, 

she is enjoying the leisurely life, taking lessons 

in mosaic and ceramic work, swimming, 

golfing, and riding. Her husband skips 

the riding and goes to lapidary classes. They 

still travel a great deal and plan to visit 

England and the Scandinavian countries this 

summer. They have two grandchildren 

whom they visit, also. 

We learned with sorrow of the death of 

Carol Henrich Neuer's husband, Earl, of a 

heart attack on Jan. 23, at their home, 63 

Bernhardt Dr., Snyder. News came from 

Irma Beyer Entemann, 322 Fairgrounds 

Rd., Painesville, Ohio. 

Gladys Lum, 25 Aberdeen St., Rochester, 

has been retired from teaching for a number 

of years and seems to commute from Rochester 

to California, spending almost every 

winter there at Pasadena, where her brother 

and sister-in-law live. She has spent part of 

two winters in Honolulu and one in Florida. 

Helen Holme Mackay (Mrs. Hugh H.) 193 

North Ave., Westport, Conn., says she is 

currently concentrating on golf and gardening. 

She and Hugh spent a month last 

winter in Naples, Fla., where they saw many 

Cornellians, including Thad Collum '21. 

Does anyone know the whereabouts of 

Sylvia Coron Logan (Mrs. I. Louis)? Letter 

to her former address, 11 Saddle Ranch 

Lane, Hillsdale, N.J. was returned unclaimed. 

Helen Lloyd Jervis (wife of Samuel 

B. '33), Box 114, High View, has started a 

new career for herself since her husband's 

retirement from the Air Force. She is in 

charge of advertising for Lloyd's Shopping 

Centers in Middletown and Newburgh and 

finds it a demanding and challenging job. 

The large centers are owned by her brother, 

Edmund. In February, Helen and Bert flew 

to England to visit his father, and it seemed 

like going home in a way, as they lived in 

England for four years. Bert, who retired 

as a Major in 1961, is working for the Sullivan 

County Welfare Dept. Daughter Helen 

is at Ohio State U teaching freshman English 

and working for her PhD while her husband 

is working for his MA. 

A note from Peg Scheer Harper (Mrs. 

John F.) Ames Hollow Rd., Portland, 

Conn., needs to be quoted to be believed. 

She says, "My husband thinks I'm still 

young because he gave me Head skis for 

Xmas. Gardening is my most active summer 

interest - still a bit afraid of my aqua 

lung." They plan a trip to Greece this 

spring. She and John have an unmarried 

Cornellian son and one married with a 

lovely wife and 2-year-old daughter.

• Thirty-five foreign students participated 

in the third annual Cornell International 

Student Weekend, March 26-29, 

sponsored by the Cornell Club of Washington. 

Mrs. Alvin C. (Marian Colden) 

Wyman '40 was the chairman in Washington, 

working with Mehdi Kizilbash, 

MBA '59, assistant director of the International 

Students' Office. 

The students bussed down on Saturday 

and spent the evening with their host 

families, but Sunday was given to a 

whirlwind tour of Washington, including 

the Jefferson Memorial, the Lincoln 

Memorial, "Embassy Row," President 

Kennedy's grave in Arlington National 

Cemetery, the National Gallery of Art, 

the National Zoo, the Islamic Center, 

and the Smithsonian Institute. 

On Monday, the group toured the 

painted under the name of Lysan, now signs 

herself as Tibbie, her nickname. Her oil 

paintings are in many museum collections, 

including three in Spain, one in England, 

and many in the United States. She has had 

shows all over the world - Tokyo, India, 

London, Paris, Madrid. The New York 

Herald-Tribune's Emily Grenauer in reviewing 

one show said, "At a distance, Levy's 

oils appear to be poetic non-objective abstracts; 

close up they are fantasies of figure 

and landscape, done with lively color and 

brushing tempered by a sense of foreboding." 

One of her recent shows was at the 

Bodley Gallery on Madison Ave., New 

York. Dot Chase, Roberts Hall, Ithaca 

(where she is connected with the Dept. of 

Extension Teaching & Information) has acquired 

two more editorial jobs on a volunteer 

basis - with the A uxiliary News of the 

hospital and the church monthly bulletin. 

She fits her hobby, antique furniture refinishing, 

into her busy schedule when she 

can. She looks forward to summer for golf 

and gardening.

it did fortunately ferret out some 

news for this month's column.

Reunion time and we wish to remind 

you that there is still time to make your 

reservations and join the approximately 125 

who have definitely signed to return. Frank 

O'Brien informs me that there will be some 

75 wives accompanying their husbands and 

that the women's class expects to have 50

prepare to return in June. 

Last column we wrote about Jackson 

Batchelor and some of his doings down in 

North Carolina. We recently received a 

page from the Raleigh News & Observer 

which had a feature article on holly, with 

most of it devoted to Jackson's holly orchard 

of some 40 acres. It made interesting reading 

but is much too long for this column. 

A card from Ralph W. (Bunny) Low, 733 

Harden Dr., Pittsburgh 29, Pa., gave us 

some information on his daughter, Jean, 

who received her AB at Penn State in 1963, 

MSc in social work from Pittsburgh in 1965. 

She took a four-month trip around the 

world after receiving her master's at Yale 

in the New Haven Medical Center. His son 

Ralph Jr. is an eighth-grader at Shadyside 

Academy. "Bunny" did write that he was 

going into the eye and ear hospital last Nov.

calls a six-week vacation following. He is 

manager of the insurance department of 

Westinghouse Electric Corp. at Gateway

of the Village of East Rochester for a fouryear 

term. The Clarks live at 117 W. Ivy

Dr. Bliss B. Clark, 22 Cedarwood Rd., 

Kensington, Conn., wrote us recently that he 

had given up surgical practice to take on the 

full-time job as executive director of the 

New Britain General Hospital. The hospital 

now has 352 beds and has a %9Vi million 

program to increase the capacity to 500 

beds. He wrote that he was enjoying the 

work very much. Apparently it has put new 

life in the aging doctor as he had a baby 

daughter Alyssa born on Oct. 16, 1965. 

It is always difficult to write of the passing 

of a classmate. Dr. Louis Court, whom 

most of you knew as Louis Olschevsky,

Back for our 30th we go, 

With a heigh, heigh ho! 

Thanks to Walt Disney for loaning us 

some of his words. For such a Snow White 

cause, he would be sure to grant parody 

rights, so we didn't bother to ask. 

As several mailings from Dan Moretti 

have reminded us all, the dates for our trek 

to Ithaca are June 16, 17, and 18. Make 

reservations if you can, but if you find at 

the 11th hour you can make it, come anyway. 

You are sure to find many a familiar face 

on campus. Our unofficial "I'll Be Back 

List" has been running in this space since 

March and has now climbed to 106, with 

the addition of Bob Haggas, Fred Illston, 

Roy Lehrer and Finley Steele. 

An extra reason for returning has been 

supplied by the ALUMNI NEWS which has 

reshuffled its schedule and will not report 

Reunion news until September. The July 

issue will no longer be delayed for this 

purpose and there is no August issue. So 

better come and get the news first-hand. 

Should you bring your wife? That depends 

on you and the missus. Some will 

and some won't. Reunions have become 

family affairs in recent years. Non-Cornellians 

are welcome. Bob Drews, for example, 

is bringing his Rita. 

'36ers who married classmates will bring 

them in many cases. Examples include 

Grandin Godley, whose wife is Virginia 

Phillips, and John C. Horn, whose partner 

used to be known as Solveig Wald. John, 

by the way, last year, received an LLD 

from Susquehanna U, where he is president 

of the board of trustees. 

Harry W. Kitts will be telling fellow reuners 

of his new home at 1413 W. Co. Rd., 

St. Paul, Minn., and bragging about his 

three grandchildren, whose parents are Dr. 

William Cadwallader Jr. and wife Jean, both 

'62, of Mexico City. 

Also on hand with plenty to talk about 

will be John Clausen, all the way from 

Berkeley, Calif. He reported: "Reunion fits 

perfectly between a lecture at the Smithsonian 

in Washington and delivery of a 

paper at the International Congress of Gerontology 

in Vienna." 

Not everybody will make our 30th, of 

course-for good reason. For example, Arnold 

N. Johnson, 146 Balsam Rd., Wayne, 

N.J., has a conflict with his son's wedding 

in Florida. His daughter followed her 

mother to Duke, and is completing her 

freshman year. Arnold is a research scientist 

with US Rubber Co. Outside interests 

include scouting and duplicate bridge. 

Uncertain about making Reunion, but 

paying class dues and reporting new addresses 

were Dr. Marshall Clinton, 522 

Lafayette Ave., Buffalo, and Lloyd Snedeker, 

444 Middle Neck Rd., Great Neck. 

Expecting to be absent at Reunion but 

paid-up members are: Richard L. Hibbard, 

1245 Canterbury Lane, Glen View, 111.; Dr. 

Robert F. Brown, 90 Beekman St., Plattsburgh; 

Richard D. Culver, 210 Melrose 

Ave., Kenilworth, 111. Charles L. Smith, 

who is v.p. of Ithaca Gun Co.; Frank 

Politi, Box 328, Lake Placid; E. Joseph Shapiro, 

2120 Yucca Ave., Fullerton, Calif.; 

Allen E. Bailey, Mexico; Norman W. M. 

Englander, Brownville; and Phillip Goodheim, 

41 N. Park Dr., Gloversville. 

"If any classmates find themselves in 

these parts of Virginia, please look me up," 

is the word from Donald E. Wagner, 4434 

Gorman Dr., Lynchburg, Va. Don't pick 

mid-June for a visit, .because he'll be in 

Ithaca. One son is college-bound this fall 

and another in 1967. A daughter is still in 

junior high. 

James P. Duchscherer, for nearly 30 years 

with the Statler-Hilton organization, most 

recently as assistant to the President, Hilton 

Hotels Corp., Chicago, has shifted to 

Schimmel Hotel Corp., Lincoln, Neb. Jim 

reported he received "a long-term contract 

just as I wanted it" as executive vice president. 

Jim's oldest boy, 17-year-old Steven, 

hopes to attend Cornell. 

Schimmel is a family-owned chain, owning 

or operating six hotels and motor inns in 

Lincoln, Omaha, Wichita, Kan., and 

Quincy, 111. Edward T. Schimmel '27, of 

Omaha, is one of four sons of the founder 

now owning the chain. 

Paul M. Mattice, 12 N. Church St., 

Athens, who was leader of the Glee Club in 

our day, has another musician in the family. 

Son Mike, who was accepted in March as a 

member of Cornell's Class of '70, has been 

chosen as a flutist for the High School Band 

of America. He will tour 13 cities of the US 

and Canada this summer. Proud Papa Paul 

reported modestly: "I hope he'll make the 

Big Red Band." 

As a closing pre-Reunion note, we pass 

along this offering from a former conductor 

of this column, Bob Hamburger: "I'm 

looking forward to the Reunion with our 

classmates, to enjoy the company of the 

class that stayed the youngest." 

See you in Ithaca June 16!

Philadelphia 46, Pa. 

Two nights ago, the In-and-Around-New- 

York chapter of the Class held its annual 

bash at the Cornell Club of New York. 

Twenty-nine rounders and two guests 

showed up to prove that if we're not exactly 

charter members of the Pepsi Generation, 

we still qualify for associate membership. 

Those who partook of liquids and solids 

(in rather unequal portions) were Jim 

Vaughn, Johnny Albert, Jack Thomas, 

Monroe Albright, Willie Schuldt, Coley 

Asinof, Gus Reyelt, Bob Bellamy, Milt 

Porter, Stanton McMahon, Newt Blickman, 

Herb Polk, Jack Candee, Ed Pfeifer, 

Bill Davis, George More, Frosty Durham, 

r 

Bob Newman, Al Edelman, Bill Martin, 

Nate Gatsik, Fred Hillegas, Herb Goldman, 

myself, and - all the way from Honolulu - 

Bob Gaffney. Our two guests were Dan 

Tooker '39, and Barlow Ware '47. 

This was the first time Bob Gaffney had 

made the New York scene (ours, anyway) 

since graduation. He entertained us intermittently 

with a nostalgic piano. Midway 

in the festivities, Fred Hillegas and I ducked 

across town to take in the opening of The 

Cheetah, a wild, new, and deafening discotheque. 

After having our eardrums 

pierced, we returned to the relative quiet of 

the off-key singing still going on in the Club 

bar. 

Many thanks to Coley Asinof and Willie 

Schuldt for arranging the party. Willie did 

double duty for '38 that day; 14 women of 

the class had their annual luncheon at the 

Club, too. Some of the regrets we got from 

those who couldn't make it may be worthy 

of note. Ernie Dahmen: "Will be in Texas 

and California on vacation." Bob Wilkinson: 

"Will be golfing in Pinehurst." George 

Wilder: "Will be in Florida." (Vacations, 

when you could have been in cold, rainy 

New York? Tsk!) Bob Klausmeyer: "Reunion 

is only two years away. Get everybody 

committed (to attend, that is)." Carl 

Johnston: "We'll be at Oregon State with 

another generation of college kids." Sam 

Eddins: "I have a broken neck. Had an 

automobile wreck. Well on road to recovery." 

Jerry Pasto: "Dr. Jerome Pasto is on 

a leave of absence from the Penna. State U 

and at the present time is in Bangkok, Thailand." 

Al Goldsmith: "LBJ's on my neck." 

Other news . . . Frank Makepeace has a 

new address: 5209 Orange Ave., Long 

Beach, Calif. From Martin Beck: "Daughter 

Susan, Tufts '65, married Aug. 28, '65, 

and is now teaching in the NYC school system. 

Son Stuart, Class of '68, Harvard." 

Fabian Ceperley is living in Charleston, 

W. Va., where he does research for the 

DuPont Co. Frank Crane is a captain in the 

Naval Reserve. He says: "While on TRA 

duty NAS, San Diego, January, 1966, visited 

Joe Antrim and his family in their new 

MEMBERS of the Class of 1938 pose at their dinner, held at the Cornell Club of New

home in Chula Vista." Last year, he was 

president of the Washington State Horticultural 

Assn. 

Ira Flamberg is practicing anesthesiology 

and is president of the medical board at 

Sharon General Hospital, Sharon, Pa. Son 

David is a senor at Bucknell. Daughter 

Candace "hopes to enter Cornell in about 

five years." John Hooley has moved to 50 

Alhambra Ave., Merritt Island, Fla. Bruce 

Kester's oldest boy, Tom, is now studying 

at Cornell. Bob Rothblatt is Justice of the 

Peace in Liberty. His daughter is a junior at 

Russell Sage and his son is a junior at 

Liberty High. 

In June, Carl Wilson becomes president 

of Robert Baird & Co. He's a governor on 

the New York Stock Exchange, vice president 

of the Investment Bankers Assn. of 

America, and this year's president of the 

Greater Milwaukee Committee. Carl Beve 

writes: "Just returned from two weeks in 

the Virgin Islands. Mimi and I spent one 

week on a chartered sailboat out of St. 

Thomas and one week in Christiansted on 

St. Croix. Our daughter Karin is working 

hard to save up enough for a return trip to 

Sweden, where she spent a year (1964-65). 

Our son Eric is going through OC School 

at Ft. Benning, Ga., after spending most of 

a year in Germany with Uncle Sam." 

That's about it, chums, this time around.

The NEWS deadline will not permit us to 

give an account of our spring luncheon 

until the next issue, so while looking forward 

to it, we'll take the liberty of writing 

in the past tense. Jean Scheidenhelm Wolff 

was in charge of the mailings and Betty 

Jokl Brodt listed the reservations. Sigrid 

Persson Reger wrote from Mt. Jackson, 

Va. that unfortunately their big Apple Blossom 

Festival conflicted with the luncheon 

date, but she hopes to be with us another 

year. Definitely on her schedule, however, 

is a trip to San Francisco in August when 

her first grandchild is expected. 

Marion Wilcox Louvet's daughter Marta 

is working at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in 

Utica and Michael attends Utica College. 

If you are in Summit, N.J., stop in at the 

Jeanette Shop for the latest fashions and a 

chat with the owner, Frances Frumkin 

Rachlin. Agnes Teske spent her spring vacation

P.O. Box 871 

Kίnston, N.C. 28501 

Guest columnist this month is W. Harry 

Johns, Box 1, Rt. 3, Dover, Del. 

This is a pleasant opportunity to propose 

to fellow '39ers some innovations in class 

reporting. We can get some variety into the 

column by hearing from a succession of 

guest columnists. Bill Page can get some relief 

from deadlines if we feed him our reports 

and comments as scheduled. Perhaps, 

as I propose, there are untapped ways that 

the monthly column in ALUMNI NEWS can 

serve us in serious and lighthearted ways. 

There is so much evolving for our group. 

We are young enough that some of the "late 

starters" that Johnny Bangs told us about 

are ready to run; some others are fighting 

the boredom of success. Probably the most 

generally attractive feature of our class right 

now is that the older offspring are in their 

college days - right where we were when we 

started our statistical sample called Class of 

1939. 

There is not going to be space enough to 

develop my theme right here, so I will get 

out a couple of suggestions: 

1. Let's get our wives into the act if we 

want to share more personal profile information. 

If a consensus agrees, let's ask the 

wives to write up a profile sketch of data on 

hubby the '39er, and send it in to Bill Page 

for future columns. 

2. Let our hair down. May I even suggest 

that we ask the class secretary to keep a list 

of all who wish to be kept out of personal 

discussion, and a list of us who would rather 

take a chance of wounded pride than cripple 

the spirit of give-and-take. It may be that I 

am the only nut who feels that a cosmopolitan 

group like Cornell '39 can get personal 

in the impersonal monthly column, but I 

think a lot of others agree. Perhaps more 

classmates will want to learn how John Nevius 

became so accomplished in la belly 

dance, than how Bob Rose became an internist 

(if indeed he did), but not necessarily. 

We really hardly know what kind of 

personal data our classmates would find interesting 

and I suggest that we try going 

overboard and see what happens. 

3. In addition to promotions, travel, and 

sons and daughters who made the grade to 

Cornell, let's talk of the young ones a lot. 

There are few of us who won't identify with 

the tug of parent-offspring sparring and we 

may start some lively debates in the columns. 

I happen to have had the indescribable 

experience of meeting my two older 

children within the past two years after the 

unusual gap of 13 years. Quite a study in 

the separation of heredity from environment, 

aside from all the other human shocks 

and delights! 

Well, that starts off a few thoughts for 

this month. What a raft of things we can do 

with the class data. If we get enough for 

cataloguing, let's not let it stay cold and 

stiff; let's kick it around and get better acquainted. 

Get some ski parties for Tremblant, 

Aspen (or with my current budget, 

the Poconos); trade kids for a summer like 

the Lyons-Hampton exchange; rent a coastwise 

four-master for a summer to train 

some '39er deck hands-two weeks per family 

- share the cost, etc. 

And let's hear more from guest columnists. 

I'm going to send in several more on 

the theme I started; if they are printed in 

later issues you have no one but yourself to 

blame. Cornell has spawned good communicators, 

Rym Berry '04, Morris Bishop '14, 

Bob Kane '34, Emerson Hinchliff '14, and 

Steve deBaun '38, to name a few. And our 

own Aerts and Kip and Bill Page who did 

well with not enough poop from the rest of 

us. Let's find time to become a class of communicators 

and make this particular data 

processing sing! Any comments?

West Virginia Pulp & Paper elects Robinson 

as secretary - so read the financial headlines 

last month. This 

is J. William Robinson 

(picture) of 66 

Woodedge Rd., Plandome. 

After Bill got 

his AB degree he 

stayed at Cornell and 

graduated in law in 

'42. Next he spent 

four years in the 

Army, serving in Europe, 

then on to the practice of law in New 

York. He joined Westvaco via their legal 

staff in 1957. In addition to being secretary 

of the company he is a member of the board 

of directors of U.S. Envelope Co., a subsidiary 

of the paper company. 

Tom Ware, in his capacity of chairman 

of the American Freedom from Hunger 

Foundation, spoke at Cornell on the topic, 

"The World Food Problem." Alpha Zeta 

fraternity and the College of Agriculture 

student council sponsored the affair. Tom is 

chairman of the board of International Minerals 

& Chemical Corp. 

Scott Sterling retired from the Air Force 

last November as a Lt. Colonel. He had 

served on active duty from 1940 to '46, and 

from 1950 until retirement. His last assignment 

was in the development division, Hq. 

USAF, Pentagon. He is now a senior staff 

engineer, radar and communication laboratory, 

ground systems group, Hughes Aircraft 

Co., Fullerton, Calif. His son Malcolm 

is a senior in high school and rather than 

interrupt his last year, he and his mother are 

staying back in Alexandria, Va., until the 

end of the school year, at which time the 

Sterlings will find a home in California. 

The last 12 months have been a Cornell 

year, writes Bob Ogden from Mexico. "Reunion 

in June, my son Bob entered Cornell 

in September, and I was elected president of 

the Cornell Club de Mexico in December. 

Class of '40 Cornellians will now get extra 

special treatment when they visit Mexico." 

Bob can be reached c/o Pennsalt, Melchor 

Ocampo 445, Mexico 5, D.F. 

The Class of '40 does interesting things, 

lives in interesting places. One of them, Jack 

Crom, lives in a big house high on a mountain 

(7350') way above Lake Tahoe (1100' 

above). Jack reports, "Lots of snow and lots 

of skiing. The four boys and two girls, ages 

15 to 8, enjoy the skiing very much." The 

address is Box 177, Incline Village, Nev. 

Bennett Woods writes that his family is 

growing up. His daughter Barbara is now 

married and Elaine Frances is in her junior 

year at Cornell, majoring in mathematics in 

the College of Arts & Sciences. The Woods's

In March The Cleveland Press and numerous 

other newspapers carried the following 

story on our featured Reunion banquet

Rico " 

When Robert H. Heath, 70 Mountain 

Way, White Plains, sent in his class dues 

(still only $8 -plug!), he wrote above the 

Reunion reminder on the corner of the bill, 

"I'll be there," the war cry of our last Reunion. 

Well, we had a real winner under 

the able direction of Walt Scholl back in 

1961. Now, we even expect to top that one; 

and, like the circus, it promises to be "Bigger 

and better than ever this year!" If you 

happen to be among the few who have not 

yet written to Reed Seely, Reunion chairman, 

Box 1941, 374 Commonwealth Ave., 

Boston, Mass., do it today. You can say "I'll 

be there" by telephone to Reed at 617: 536- 

1260. Even if June 16 rolls around and you 

find at the last minute you can make it 

after all, just head for Ithaca. Reed promises 

to find good rooms for any member of the 

Class of '41, with or without wife. 

Raymond W. Kruse, (picture) class president, 

has been transferred to the home office 

in Philadelphia of 

Rohm & Haas Co. as 

assistant manager of 

distributor sales in the 

plastics department. 

Debbie and Ray have 

bought a house at 

4 Nob Hill Lane, 

Devon, Pa. and expect 

to move there 

from Pittsford some 

time this summer. So it's back to familiar 

territory for the Kruse family. 

Farnham H. Shaw, 274 Wall St., Corning, 

has become manager of manufacturing development 

at the consumer products division 

of the Corning Glass Works. He joined the 

firm in 1945 and has held supervisory positions 

at the optical plant in Corning for five 

years. In 1952 he was transferred to the 

Harrodsburg, Ky. plant where he served 

successively as plant manufacturing engineer, 

production superintendent, and plant 

manager. Since 1962 he has been manager 

of manufacturing for tableware in the consumer 

products division. 

Here's a note from Prof. Julian C. Smith, 

711 The Parkway, Ithaca: "Since last September 

I've been director of continuing 

education for the Engineering College at 

Cornell. Busy organizing short courses in 

engineering subjects to be given at Cornell 

in July - our first efforts along these lines. 

Any engineers in the Class of '41 who need 

updating?" 

Fred O. Ashworth, Jr., 23 Birch Lane, 

Scotia, writes, "Have just completed 10 

very satisfying years as manager of The 

Mohawk Club in Schnectady. . . . Everything 

would be perfect if we all had good health, 

but Barbara (Shaw '42) is a victim of multiple 

sclerosis. . . . She spent about seven 

weeks in the hospital last year. Our oldest 

son, Chip, 21, is serving two years in the 

Navy on board the USS Essex as part of his 

Naval Reserve program. Jonathon, 14, has 

enjoyed skiing with the bountiful snow this 

past winter." 

Since last August Benjamin Schaeffer has 

lived at 12 Jade Lane, Cherry Hill, N.J., 

having moved there from East Meadow. 

Ben says, "The government agency I work 

for moved (a la McNamara) from Brooklyn 

to Philadelphia. I live across the Delaware 

in New Jersey. Area here is very nice and I 

hope any of my old classmates living near 

here will contact me. Family consists of two 

daughters. My wife teaches in the Cherry 

Hill school system. I am a chemist. . . ." 

John E. Medevielle, 1595 Brookside Rd., 

Mountainside, N.J., writes, "At the annual 

Thanksgiving football game in White Plains, 

the fans honored the team on which I 

played left halfback. This team won three 

championships and was untied and undefeated 

for over 30 games. It was selected to 

play on New Year's Day the best 22 football 

players of the State of Florida in one 

of the first Orange Bowl games ever played. 

Sorry to say, we lost!" Johnny also mentioned 

a family trip to the Thousand Islands 

with return stop-off at the Cornell campus, 

Taylor vineyards, and Corning Glass Center. 

Dinner in Elmira Heights at the Pierce's 

1894 restaurant operated by Lee (Bassette 

'43) and Joe Pierce '42 provided a royal welcome. 

"One of my sons wanted a live lobster 

and sure enough, when we were leaving, 

Joe came out with a lobster in a cake box. 

The lobster wound up being cooked at 3:00 

A.M., Mountainside, N.J. time." 

H. Jerome Noel, whose Indiana Transit 

Service, Inc. business address is 4300 W. 

Morris St., Indianapolis (Indiana's largest

in Prestwick, Scotland, and Manchester and 

London, England, specializing in air freight 

movement and customs brokerage. If you 

know anybody who is shipping in that direction 

or out of London, we will be delighted 

to work with them in helping them 

expedite their shipments in or out of the 

United Kingdom. See you in June!" 

Francis F. Schley, 100 Kingston Rd., 

Princeton, N.J., writes, "Had the good fortune 

to be back on campus for a week last 

fall at a special course with the National Society 

of Sales Training Executives. University 

and Society faculty did a great job. 

Looking forward to crew races at Princeton

It's never too late ... if you have not 

made reservations for Reunion and find that 

you can come for any part of any day, do 

not hesitate. Come on over. Come to Dorm 

#4 and find out where the class is. Be sure 

to register so we'll get credit towards total 

attendance. If you can come for any meals 


and wish to make last-minute reservations, 

call me at 607-273-8171 and I will try and 

help. I am not including any news this 

month; the best way to find out about your

Gordon E. Jones, erstwhile president of 

AGR and Pi Alpha Xi, and now of Oyster 

Bay (but not president) writes: "Since your 

report last year about my work as director 

of the State University's Planting Fields 

Arboretum, I have been elected as a director 

of the American Assn. of Botanical 

Gardens and Arboretums and the recently 

organized Rhododendron Species Foundation." 

Gordon, we're glad to have been of 

help. 

Secretary of Agriculture Freeman announced 

(it was last year, if you want to 

know the truth) the appointment of Caldwell 

McMillan of RD 1 Annapolis, as a 

member of the Maryland Agricultural Stabilization 

& Conservation State Committee. 

Having taught at Tuskegee Institute, Caldwell 

owns and operates a farm producing 

corn, tobacco, and livestock. 

Another farmer, and ex-president of Student 

Agencies on the Hill, Frank A. Walkley, 

represents Wyoming County in the 

Assembly, and writes: "My wife (Patsy Curtis 

'44) and four children keep the home 

fires burning (at Glen Iris Rd., Castile) and 

keep me posted on the dairy and apple 

business. Our fifth youngster Sarah is at 

Oberlin." 

And from RD 5, Canandaigua, Norman 

F. Lewis sends briefest news: "Daughter 

Elizabeth '67 Arts. Wife Edith M. Kelsey 

'44." My Cornellίan shows that he graduated 

veterinary medicine and was co-captain 

of the swimming team. 

"After more than 22 years in the Navy," 

writes John Alden, "where I served in and 

around submarines for most of my tour, including 

some 14 years in shipbuilding, repair, 

and engineering aspects of the business, 

I am now in a second career with the 

Engineers Joint Council, 345 E. 47th St., 

New York 17. Thanks are due to John 

Munschauer and his alumni placement service 

through which contacts were made. 

Daughter Carol is at Oswego State, and 

son J.R. is in engineering physics at Cornell. 

Not only is he a double legacy 

(Alden's wife is Ann Buchholz '45) but 

also follows in the footsteps of more than 

a dozen aunts, uncles, and cousins who are 

past or present Cornellians." John, as you 

may remember, retired from the Navy as a 

Commander, having authored several articles 

on naval history and six children. 

Frank R. Sonimer has been named an 

assistant treasurer of American Machine & 

Foundry and the company's real estate and 

property manager. The Sommers and their 

two children also manage a property at 52 

Rockledge Rd., Hartsdale. 

If you have devised and would like to 

advertise a better bedpan, the newly appointed 

sales manager 

of the American Hospital 

Assn. is William 

W. Howe (picture), 

one-time president of 

the Cornell chapter of 

Delta Upsilon. His 

background in the advertising 

business includes 

tours with 

J. Walter Thompson, 

Ted Bates, and since 1956 various advertising 

and sales duties with the AHA. The 

Howes, wife Margaret and two children, 

make their home in Deerfield, 111. 

Which reminds me that Deerfield (Mass.) 

Academy alumnus William E. Woods 

writes: "Moved from Los Angeles area to 

Massachusetts with wife (Shirley Shapiro) 

and three children. Now affiliated with 

Computer Control Co. as senior staff engineer 

in computer products department.

area," which happens to be 79 Woodland, 

Natick, Mass.

The news continues to roll in from members 

of the class. At last count, more than 

80 had responded to our requests by sending 

personal news along with their dues 

payments to Treasurer John Meyers. So 

there is a nice backlog for your correspondent, 

one that sometimes puts him a bit behind. 

... I like replying to Roger Gagnon's 

wishes for a Happy New Year. Some bard 

has said that position is everything in life. 

How about time? Anyway, Roger, thanks 

for your sentiments. I hope that you and 

your family had a fine reunion in Montreal. 

Roger's address is Lake Shore Hotel, 12506 

Edgewater Dr., Lakewood, Ohio. While still 

on a timely note, AI Richley says that the 

blizzard of '66 is over. Before it started, he 

had a nursery. When he wrote, all he could 

see was a white sea. But that was back in 

February. Perhaps things have cleared up 

by now on S. Lake Rd. in Corfu, where Al 

lives. 

To many in the business world, any memtion 

of business systems brings IBM to mind. 

There are several '44s with IBM. Joseph C. 

Logue has been with the company for over 

15 years. In December, Joe was named a 

Fellow of the IEEE. Just before that, he and 

wife Jeanne flew to the Bahamas in their 

Cessna 210. At last report they were planning 

a return trip to learn scuba diving. 

While the Logues were concerned with 

ocean depths, the Fay McClellands are concerned 

with Ithaca heights. Mac tells that 

wife Phyllis (Dittman '43) is studying at 

Cornell to qualify for teaching. She climbs 

the library tower once a week to help out 

the chimes staff. (I wonder if they play the 

"Jennie McGraw Rag" at 7:50 as well as 

they did in our day.) The McClellands live 

at 2501 Owego Rd., Vestal. Mac didn't indicate 

where he works for IBM among the 

many locations in the Endicott, Vestal, 

Owego area. 

General manager at Endicott is Francis 

G. Paul, unless he has been promoted since 

he and I attended the Cornell Council meeting 

in October. Skip, Betty, and family live 

in Endwell, 406 Sunrise Dr. Farther away, 

Harold H. Thomas is manager of operations 

planning for the Federal Systems Center 

in Bethesda, Md. He was disappointed 

recently when daughter Kathleen turned 

down an honorary scholarship at Cornell to 

study at Wellesley. "Also a fine school," 

comments Harold. He manages to get to 

Cornell occasionally, when he visits the IBM 

facility at Vestal. His home address is 6217 

Rockhurst Rd., Bethesda, Md. 

In view of the equal time requirements, 

and more particularly because he is a longtime 

friend and dedicated classmate, we 

report the transfer of John H. Miller by 

Univac. After 11 years in Cheshire, Conn, 

on three different jobs, John has been moved 

to the home office education center. The 

Miller family now live in Ambler, Pa., at 

1615 Butler Pike. John says that he is still 

shaking his head over the articles that the 

Miller family collected during 14 years in 

one house. 

The Class of 1944 seems to be contributing 

its share to the present generation of 

Cornellians. Dr. Richard M. Alexander has 

a daughter who is a freshman in home economics. 

Dick is practicing surgery in Great 

Neck, and is alumni representative to 

Aquarius, the undergraduate swimming society.

sistency between his home address and his 

surgical specialty. The latter is not thoracic 

surgery ... far from it! Dick's address is 

15 Canterbury Rd., Great Neck. 

Alex Hutchinson is a freshman in civil 

engineering. Father is Alexander P., 1505 

Walnut St., Pittsburgh, Pa. Arnold Tofias 

still lives in Newton Center, Mass., but son 

Donald is spending most of his time in 

Ithaca as a freshman in architecture. Tom 

Cochran is one step ahead, since daughter 

Jane is a sophomore. Son Fletcher is another 

one of the Cochrans who aspires to 

Cornell. There is a particular reason for 

this Cornell dedication. Alice (Kincaid '43) 

Cochran, though associated with "that other 

class," is another loyal Cornellian. Bill 

Wheeler's sons are not yet of college age, 

but have shown a real interest in Cornell 

since they visited the campus with Bill in 

February. Bill hopes that son Steve will enter 

in 1968. The Wheelers live at Nashawtuc 

Rd., Concord, Mass. John D. Sheehey, 78 

Brookby Rd., Scarsdale, reports that son 

Paul has applied for admission in September. 

John is president of Sheehey Building 

Corp., 164 Montague St., Brooklyn. 

Entering in September will be Jack Kimple, 

who is a two-time '44 Cornellian. Father 

and mother are Burl and Frances 

(Ward). Going back another generation are 

grandparents Albert A. '13 and the late 

Frances (Driscoll) Ward. But don't start 

counting Jack's aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. 

I just tried, and gave up when I hit 23. 

However, that count did include a few Cornellians 

who married into the Driscoll family 

that branched out to include Wards, 

Careys, and Warrens. Excluded from my 

count are many other branches of the 

Driscoll family. 

Getting away from the Cornell heritage 

is the daughter of Thomas B. and Barbara 

(Larrabee '43) Johnson. She is attending 

Keuka College. Barbara teaches in junior 

high school, and Tom is branch manager 

in Batavia for Central New York Equipment 

Co. The Johnsons' address is 24 Ross 

St., Batavia. Meredith Cushing's daughter 

is in her junior year at Elmira College. Bud 

is general manager of Seitz. Oil Products 

Refining Corp. in Syracuse. His home address 

is 6483 Seneca Turnpike, Syracuse. 

Irv Edwards' daughter was awaiting word 

on her application to Cornell when Irv 

wrote. As he mentioned, the time is a nervewracking 

one for student and parents. But 

the Edwards family had some relief from 

the waiting tension. Thirteen-year-old 

daughter Siri won a scholarship to the 

Interlochen Arts Academy. She is a cellist, 

and looks forward to playing in the Interlochen 

orchestra that has earned such a fine 

reputation. The Edwards's address remains 

1119 Beard St., Flint, Mich. 

Farther west is Alfred Owczarzak. (That's 

a long way from the red clay and the scrub 

pines of Ft. Bragg, Al.) He is in his 11th 

year at Oregon State U, where he is associate 

professor of zoology. Al complains 

about three years of planning for a new 

biology building. It is under construction 

now, so all should be well. But he asks if 

any '44 architects would like to try their 

hands at teaching cellular biology. The 

Owczarzaks live at 1625 Hillcrest Dr., Corvallis, 

Ore. 

William Felver is still teaching the classics, 

and continues with the same address 

- 1240 Chilver Rd., Windsor, Ontario. Bill 

is another classmate who enjoyed our big 

21st Reunion last June. Reporting a new 

address is Walter B. Gerould, 354 N. Main 

St., Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Walt has been 

transferred to Cleveland as district manager 

for New Britain Machine Co. Mort Goldenberg 

also sends along a new address: 731 

Ashbourne Rd., Elkins Park, Pa. Since Mort 

and I work together on Cornell Fund activities 

in the Philadelphia area, I suppose 

he feels that no further news is needed. 

Another Cornell worker, on the secondary 

schools committee, is Charles H. Hoens, Jr. 

Charlie is practicing law in Newark. He is 

nearer to the red clay and scrub pines of 

Ft. Bragg than Al Owczarzak, but I'm sure 

that he doesn't get any closer to them than 

Al does . .. 1943 was enough. 

With apologies to the former field artillerymen, 

we leave you in the hills of North 

Carolina until next month. In the meanwhile, 

please send along news about yourself. 

I need more copy.

The following item was noted in the

American in the "Dear Abby" column: 

"Confidential to Cornell '45: The Marine 

Corps, which produced some virile 

specimens, had a saying, 'The man who 

claims he is irresistible to all women 


needs little sleep, for he dreams while 

he is awake.'" 

Our worthy president, Rick Carlson, wrote 

the following letter to Abby which we hope 

will relieve the minds of all the members of 

the Class of'45: 

"Dear Abby: 

I refer to your note in the column of 

March 29, 'Confidential to Cornell '45' 

in which you relate that one of our 

classmates has propounded that he is 

'irresistible to all women.' 

As president of the Cornell Class of 

1945, and on behalf of the more than 

400 members* I question your right to 

put so many on the spot because one of 

our group (How we wish we knew who) 

unfortunately wrote to you. In most of 

your 'Confidentials,' you certainly are 

a lot more discreet than you were in this 

case. Our executive committee will meet 

shortly to decide what measures should 

be taken to clear the good name of Cornell 

'45. 

As a class, we have never had the 

reputation of being shy or shrinking 

violets when it came to females and we 

do subscribe to the old saying that there's 

something to be said in favor of having 

passed 40 when women may still be interested 

in you but the army isn't-but 

'irresistible' - NEVER! 

Cordially,

quite a while receive preference when it 

comes time to write the column. On the 

other hand, we try to spread the news geographically. 

We also try to insert especially 

newsworthy items right away. 

For the past three or four years, we have 

kept a record by name of all the news that 

has appeared in these columns. In this way, 

we have quickly realized who has been in 

the news frequently and who writes only occasionally. 

It's a lot of trouble to keep track 

of all these names and items, but it's also 

taken the guesswork out of who-should-weinclude-in-the-column-this-month. 

In passing, 

it should be noted that the class dues 

system has been instrumental in keeping us 

supplied with news. 

James K. Sliger, 1469 Montgomery Rd.,

with Alcoa, he has been transferred to St. 

Louis, Seattle, Spokane, Detroit, and Pittsburgh. 

And now Melbourne, Australia. Who 

said large companies lose track of the individual?

The biggest bash of the spring social 

season was the wedding on April 23 of 

Marjorie Leigh late of London and Tokyo 

and Gurnee Fellows Hart of Los Angeles. 

Joan Swift and I were among the bridesmaids, 

and both Elaine Treman Downing 

and Ginny Davenport Judson made the trip 

to New York for the big event, Elaine from 

Ithaca and Ginny from Cleveland. Gurnee 

is a graduate of Pomona and Stanford 

Business School and is a vice president of 

Scudder, Stevens & Clark, an investment 

counseling firm, in Los Angeles. He and 

Marjorie met in Japan two-and-a-half years 

ago while I was out there on a visit - and fittingly, 

four of her former business associates 

from Tokyo were in New York for 

the wedding. 

Jane Humphreys Dieck (Mrs. William) 

popped into town the other week and we 

managed to get together for a hurried lunch 

at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. With 

her four children no longer needing fulltime 

attention, Jane has been doing some 

part-time promotional work for the New 

York advertising firm of McCann-Erickson. 

"Just enough to be fun," she says, "and not 

enough to disturb the family. I'm not sure 


the business world is ready for me even 

on a part-time basis." Her eldest, Chris, is in 

high school and her youngest, Louisa, in 

kindergarten. The Diecks live at 225 Idlewood 

Rd. in Rochester. 

Here is another letter that came in too 

late to make the recent class newsletter. 

Roberta Mσnesmith (Mrs. David Hambleton) 

of 1151 Fernwood Dr., Schenectady, 

writes: 

"This is the barest outline. If I write any 

more it will be another six years before 

you receive an answer. Dave is with 

General Electric, our girls are Tracy, 8, 

in third grade, and Lynn, 11, in sixth 

grade of junior high. Both are doing well 

in school and are good skiers. In summer 

they ride and swim. We moved to 

Schenectady (Dave's home town) in the 

summer of 1964 and enjoy it very much. 

We see Shirley Mapes Fox, Barb Lawrence 

and Allison Graham, to mention 

a few Cornellians. We were in Syracuse 

(my home town) for five years before 

coming to Schenectady. There I was a 

docent for the Museum, doing research 

for their slides. Also set up a summer 

church school program. In Schenectady 

we've been busy playing badminton and 

bridge, and cooking with a gourmet 

group." 

Louise Passerman Rosenfeld is another 

one active in the business world. 

"I am doing interior designing. We built 

a home that I designed and it appeared 

in American Home Magazine, October 

1964. Bill Sharman '51 (husband of 

Audrey Rossman) collaborated as architect. 

In the September 1964 issue, 

another room I did was featured, showing 

bunk beds I designed. The magazine 

has since bought the plans for both the 

house and the room because of the mail 

they received, and the plans for both are 

available from them. My husband Gabby 

'49 is a partner in Spingarn, Heine & Co., 

stockbrokers. We went to Greece and 

Yugoslavia last spring - a very exciting 

and exhausting trip."

15th Reunion is but one year away. In the 

next issue of the ALUMNI NEWS we hope to 

be able to announce the name of the Reunion 

chairman for next year. If you are interested 

in helping out or have any ideas that 

you want incorporated, send them along. 

We'll see that they get to the right party. 

Meanwhile, we have a batch of news this 

month from the overseas contingent. Ralph 

and Billie (Robbins) Starke and the children 

are still roughing it at the Amsterdam Hilton, 

and like many hotelmen, they keep busy 

with a myriad number of activities, including 

travel, entertaining dignitaries, church work, 

etc. 

R. M. (Dick) Bosshardt is at the Chalet 

Friedbath, Merlischacen/S Z 6402, Switzerland, 

where he spends his time skiing, mountain 

climbing, and installing electrical equipment 

for tissue paper machines. There must 

be a comment about American culture in 

there. 

Prof. Wanderstock of the Hotel School 

reports seeing Alexander and Joan (Goodman, 

MBA '52) Bernitz who are attached to 

the American Embassy in Bonn, Germany, 

where Alex is assistant agricultural attache. 

Like almost all Americans stationed in Europe, 

they report traveling as a major outdoor 

sport. 

The Rev. Floyd E. Estelle should be returning 

to Ethiopia soon after a year's leave 

in Ithaca. The Estelles have spent 10 years 

in an interdenominational Christian mission, 

and raised five children in the process. 

From Indonesia, Redding K. Rufe writes, 

that his major, reportable problem is to keep 

his golf balls out of the water hazards. It 

may be that things are not all what they seem 

in the newspapers, although I would agree 

with Doc that there are times when losing a 

golf ball does seem critical. He and Marta 

may be reached through the Intercontinental 

Hotel. 

Ebenzer O. Ojurongbe is with the Ministry 

of Agriculture and Natural Resources, PMB 

5007, Ibadan, Nigeria, where he is one of 

four assistants to the chief of extension service 

of the Western Region. Their job is to 

develop policies which will improve the 

productivity and profitability of farmers in 

the region. During 1965, he attended a fourweek 

agricultural conference in the Ukrainian 

S.S.R. and, later, another five-week meeting 

in Rome. 

Not everyone is overseas. Ellsworth C. 

Dobbs can still be reached at 78 Ambar PI., 

Bernardsville, N.J. He sells life and health 

insurance and is currently state public relations 

director for the Life Underwriters 

Assn., a director in charge of community 

service for the Rotary Club, and is very active 

in local church work. During 1965, the 

Dobbs family did quite a bit of traveling, 

usually pulling their own camping trailer behind. 

If you look up some day and find some 

one camped on the lawn, see if Ell will sell 

you some insurance. 

There may be something to trailers. Dr. 

Michael E. Doty, with his wife Joyce (BFA 

'48) and their four children, tugged one all 

the way from 500 N. Main St., Wellsville 

to Disneyland last summer, stopping at the 

North Dakota Badlands, Yellowstone Park, 

San Francisco, the Grand Canyon, etc. enroute. 

Mike is a practicing veterinarian when 

not chauίfeuring. 

James D. Kelly is the marketing manager 

for Trans-Sonics and can be reached at 2 

Southfield Rd., Concord, Mass. 

The Roger Glasseys must employ the best 

public relations corps in the business. While 

traveling to the West Coast last year, they 

visited half the class, and I have gotten reports 

from all along the way. The latest is 

from George M. Kennedy of Rt. 4, Box 30, 

Wayzata, Minn. In addition to this p.r. work, 

George has joined the class sailing ranks 

with a Flying Dutchman, Junior. 

David H. Brooks lives at Valley Rd., Redding, 

Conn. He seems to be running a small 

livestock herd consisting of two horses, a 

goat, and two dozen chickens. In-between, 

he sells advertising space for Harper-Atlantic 

Sales in New York. 

Reginald C. Marchant has been named 

Charlotte and Greenville area manager for 

the Reliance Electric & Engineering Co. 

of Cleveland. Before moving to North Carolina, 

Reg had been district manager for Reliance 

in Richmond. 

John Martin, Little City Rd., Higganum, 

Conn., has been named chairman of the 

Creative Arts Program at Wesleyan U in 

Middletown, Conn. In addition to the development 

of this new arts, music, and theater 

center, John continues to maintain his private 

architecture practice. 

'52 PhD-Prof. D. Bruce Gardner, will 

become head of the Department of Child 

Development in the College of Home Economics 

at Iowa State U. Gardner was dept. 

head at Utah State U for two years before 

coming to Iowa in 1955. He is the author of 

Development in Early Childhood: the Preschool 

Years. 

'52 PhD - William L. Irvine has been appointed 

president of Vermont College. He 

has previously held positions as dean of the 

U of Maine; coordinator of the inter-university 

program of Buffalo, Cornell, Rochester, 

and Syracuse Universities; and is now regional 

education officer for Africa with the 

US Dept. of State. 

'52 MME - Prof. Edward V. Krick, associate 

professor of industrial engineering at 

Lafayette College, is the author of Introduction 

to Engineering and Engineering Design 

(John Wiley & Sons, 1965), an introductory 

engineering textbook now in use at MIT, 

Cornell, the U of California, Newark College 

of Engineering, VPI, the U of Pennsylvania, 

and the U of Illinois.

A letter from Chuck Juran reads as follows: 

"After 10 years in aerospace engineering, 

my guilty conscience has promoted 

a move on behalf of the taxpayer, and I 

have joined the above miniscule firm. 

(Citrus Investments, 115 Orange St., Redlands, 

Calif.) We sell and manage citrus 

property for tax shelter and appreciation 

purposes. 

"This may seem a rather abrupt change 

of interests, but there is no sense being in 

California if you can't get out in the 

sunshine. Those who weary of their annual 

contributions to the Great Society 

are invited to communicate with me at 

the firm. 

"The '53 roster in Redlands is small, 

although per capita we don't look too 

bad. Don Woodley is a quasi-competitor 

of mine, selling stock (no tax shelter!) 

for Lester-Ryons; Dick Mulligan, attorney, 

lives in Redlands and practices in 

San Bernardino. 

"About the only other local link is the 

retirement home of Cornell's President 

Adams who, like the rest of us, knew 

a good thing when he saw Redlands. But 

before I get sickening about this, best get 

back to work. Attached is some miscellaneous 

info about CI, including the 

headline of the year: Overtaxed Doctors 

Contemplate Navels." 

Dave Simon, another Californian, has been 

appointed corporate news bureau manager of 

Electronic Specialty Co., 4561 Colorado 

Blvd., L.A. In this newly created post, Dave 

will handle the company's press relations 

program. He is married and the father of a 

daughter. His twin brother Bill is also a classmate. 

Bill now lives at 2407^2 I St., NW, 

Washington, D.C. 

Community service is an endeavor to 

which many of our classmates giv& generously 

of their time. 

But every now and 

then we come across 

an example which is 

particularly heartwarming. 

We recently 

learned that Stu Warshauer 

(picture) was 

named one of the five 

"Outstanding Young 

Men of Ohio" for 

1965, largely for his work as chairman of 

The Resident Home for the Mentally Retarded 

of Hamilton County, Ohio. Stu and 

Gladys (Carson '54) are the parents of a 

seven-year-old daughter who is severely retarded. 

When Stu became aware of the lack 

of facilities for her in the Cincinnati area, 

he became actively interested in The Resident 

Home, an organization with a membership 

of 50. He was soon elected chairman. 

Under his guidance membership increased to 

700, and he promoted a "partnership" arrangement 

between private and government 

interests to foster small community-centered 

residential and training facilities as opposed 

to large, isolated state institutions. The organization 

is currently undertaking a construction 

program which will enable it to 

provide care and training for 250 residents 

and for 500 more on a daily basis. In addition 

to his endeavors for the home, Stu is 

also the president of the Northern Hills 

B'nai B'rith Lodge. The Warshauer family 

(including their two other children) lives at 

8780 Fontainebleau Ter., Cinncinnati.

Barbara Green Bock has sent her new address 

in Paris: 2, Rue de Messine, Paris- 

VHIe, telephone 622-08-96. 

Better late than never to report on another 

clever Christmas-time greeting and picture 

letter from Deborah Knott Coyle. Highlights 

of 1965 for the family included skiing in the 

Sierras in March, summer vacation in the 

mountains, a business trip east in the fall for 

Harry, and a directorship for Debbie in a 

co-op nursery school. Their children are 

David, Dee, Jenny, and KC; their address is 

235 Croyden Dr., Pleasant Hill, Calif. 

Dorothy Clark, our woman on the scene 

at Berkeley, reports that the campus there is 

much calmer than a year ago. Summer vacation 

found Dottie in the Northwest visiting 

friends in Olympia and Tacoma. 

Those of our classmates who will be in 

Ithaca this June will see many changes; 

share them with the rest of us by sending 

your correspondent a card.

From time to time, comments like the 

following appear on a returned class dues 

notice: "My loyalty is to the university and 

not to any particular class." Such a statement 

raises serious questions about the viability, 

rationale, and usefulness of a traditional 

class alumni structure. At a recent meeting 

of class officers, similar questions were 

raised and it was decided that classmates 

should be invited through this column to 

submit their ideas about what kind of organization 

our class should have (if any) 

and what it might do as a class to be of service 

to the university or society. 

Class Treasurer Fos Cunningham reports 

that we have "turned the corner" on the 

financial risk involved in undertaking the 

group subscription plan to the NEWS, but 

only by rather radically reducing the number 

of free riders. Payment of class dues by a 

larger nucleus than hitherto is still essential 

to the successful continuation of this program. 

Frank Casey, 1400 Busse Rd., Apt. 2A, 

Mt. Prospect, 111., writes that Richard H. 

Miller was recently promoted to chairman of 

the board of Julian Labs in Mexico City. 

Classmates who are having difficulty doing 

their children's homework with the new 

math will be pleased to learn that R. Chodosch 

is about to publish a book under the 

intriguing title of Arithmetic by American 

Primitive Numbers. And for those who are 

more advanced, he has another publication, 

Higher Topics in Arithmetic. Chodosch, 

whose present address is 1212 Grand Concourse, 

New York 56, is currently at the 

Mellon Institute doing applied chemical research 

and is in the last phase of research 

for his PhD at the U of Pittsburgh. 

Lawrence N. Cohen writes that he has resigned 

as general manager of the US Hospital 

Supply Corp. and on Jan. 1 assumed 

new duties as comptroller of Lumex, Inc. in 

Bay Shore, a manufacturer of aluminum 

and steel hospital equipment and patient 

aids. Larry continues to live at 259 Round 

Hill Rd. in Roslyn Heights. 

Sandra (Pond '56) Cornish writes that husband 

Rod is still working for the Illinois Institute 

of Technology Research Associates, 

and last September was appointed an assistant 

director in his division. The Cornish clan 

numbers two children, 6 and 3, and can 

usually be found at 716 Enterprise Rd., Chicago 

Heights, 111.

From George F. Dembow Jr. comes 

word that he, wife Ethelanne (Renfield), and 

sons George III and Paul are still living at 

4201 Cathedral Ave., NW, Washington, D.C. 

where George is vice president for Fischbach

583 Belvedere St. in San Francisco. 

Their first son, James Edward, was born 

to the Jack Edwin Felts on Aug. 22, 1965. 

Jack began working with Esso Research and

management division. He visited India in 

January and anticipates that his job will involve 

future foreign business travel. The 

Felts make their home at 43 Yacht Club Dr., 

RD 3, Wharton, NJ. 

In May 1965 William D. Gohr became 

assistant to the eastern regional manager, 

Air Products & Chemicals, Inc. in Philadelphia. 

Bill writes that fortunately the job 

did not involve a move and he continues to

Now stockbroking in Rutland, Vt. after 

several years of banking in New York is 

Robert L. Hill, who has escaped the metropolis 

to 5 Hillcrest Rd. in Rutland. He writes: 

"A more flexible schedule allows me more 

time to pursue other interests. Main one 

now is as builder-dealer of a line of log 

vacation-ski lodges, a result of my belief that 

there is a demand for the traditional design 

in this field."

Dateline of this column is Birmingham, 

Ala., where the azaleas and gubernatorial 

candidates are in full bloom. I'm here in the 

southland to produce ABC's primary night 

coverage: a fitting assignment for a woman 

to cover the probable election of the first 

woman candidate for governor. 

Along with the luggage and reams of research 

material on southern Democrats, I 

carried to Alabama an even more interesting 

document: the '55 Women's Reunion Scrapbook 

with notes and items from many of our 

classmates. These I now pass along to you. 

Henry and Irene (Adler) Hirsch and their 

two sons have moved from White Plains to 

41 Highview Rd. in SufTern. 

Martha (Benning) Cockram also has a new 

address, RD 4, Canandaigua. Bob '59 is the 

manager of the Taylor Farms, while Martha 

divides housekeeping chores and care of their 

two young sons with activities in the 4-H 

club. 

Susan (Bergmann) Prausnitz is now living 

at 52 Crescent in Berkeley, Calif, where 

John '49 is professor of chemical engineering 

at the U of Cal. They have a 3-yearold 

daughter, Stephanie, who was born during 

their sabbatical leave in Switzerland. 

Dwight '53 and Peg (Blackburn) Robinson 

write from 14 Heckle St., Wellesley Hills, 

Mass. Dwight is in research at Mass General. 

They have two girls and a boy, and from the 

picture Peg enclosed you can see that their 

10-year-old daughter Laurie is the beautiful 

image of her blond mother. 

Another Cornellian living abroad (so 

many of our classmates make their homes in 

exotic places) is Norma Bosworth, now Mrs. 

Lewis G. Carpenter. She lives in Kenitra, 

Morocco, where her husband is completing 

a 30-month tour of duty with the US 

Navy. Norma welcomes visitors until November 

but advises them to brush up on 

their French, Spanish, and Arabic first. The 

Carpenters can be reached through their 

military box number: RMC 372-95-19 USN 

US Nav Comm Sta Box 40 c/o FPO, New 

York. 

Nancy Budlong (Mrs. Norman Lent, wife 

of the N.Y. senator) included a picture of 

herself and three children, two boys and a 

girl. I am happy to report she doesn't look a 

day older than she did in June 1955. The 

Lents live at 48 Plymouth Rd., East Rockaway. 

Robert '51 and Sandra (Chachkes) Temkin 

make their home at 92 Oakdale Dr., 

Rochester. 

Judith Gail Cohen, now Mrs. Lawrence 

C. Lichtig, wrote a brief note to our alumni 

chairman explaining her absence at the Terrific 

Tenth: ". . . pregnant and won't be able 

to travel." By my calculations she's now a 

mother and congratulations are in order. 

The Litchtigs live at 2435 Elmdale Rd., University 

Heights, Ohio. 

Other long-lost addresses are: 

Mary Lu DePuy (wife of Richard Whitlock 

'53) 596 Canterbury Rd., Bay Village, 

Ohio.

Colney Lane, Cringleford, Norwich, Norfolk,

'55 MS - Michael H. B. Hayes of Dept. of 

Chemistry, U of Birmingham, England, 

writes, "Life has not changed much. Still a 

bachelor. My greatest extracurricular joy is 

still coaching (in an honorary capacity) a 

truly fine U of Birmingham track team. Our 

finest hour in 1966 will be to compete 

against the Cornell-Penn team at Birmingham 

on June 25. We look forward to seeing 

Bob Kane '34, Lou Montgomery, Glenn 

Davis, and their boys."

Big news from Tony Cashen this month. 

Our men's class officers have completed arrangements 

for bringing us into the ALUMNI 

NEWS Group Subscription Plan. This is the 

first issue to go to all members of the class 

under the plan. Full details will be coming 

your way soon via a letter from Tony - together 

with a dues bill. When they come, 

read the letter and then pay the bill! We 

need everyone's support to make our membership 

in the plan a success - and to keep 

the ALUMNI NEWS coming to you every 

month. A lot is happening on The Hill and 

the NEWS is covering it better than ever. Our 

fast-approaching 10th Reunion makes this an 

ideal time to join the plan. Incidentally, Bob 

Black, Tony, and Jack McCormick have 

already started to lay the groundwork for the 

Reunion. 

Charles P. Stanton reports his assignment 

June 1 to the Paris office of Morgan Guaranty 

Trust Co. Charlie's new address, for the 

time being at least, will be c/o the bank, 14, 

Place Vendome, Paris (ler). 

Thomas Pynchon's new book, The Crying 

of Lot 49 was released in April by J. P. 

Lippincott Co. His first book V, published 

in 1963, won the Faulkner First Novel 

Award in that year. 

Mobil man H. M. Swigert has been promoted 

to staff assistant, operating in our New 

England marketing division. Harry had formerly 

served as terminal superintendent in 

Hartford and New Haven. He lives with 

wife Jeanne and their two daughters at 9 

Cathy Rd., Burlington, Mass. 

Steve Lipson recently completed an orientation 

course for officers of the US Air 

Force Medical Service at Gunter AFB, Ala. 

In that course he received instruction in 

specialized aerospace medical subjects and 

in administrative procedures. Steve earned 

his MD degree from NYU School of Medicine. 

Allison C. Collard has opened his own 

firm to handle patents, copyrights, and trademarks, 

at the Engineers Club, 36 W. 40th St., 

New York. Al has worked for the past six 

years in the patent law departments of Airborne 

Instrument Laboratories and Republic 

Aviation. He received an MS in math, and 

law training at Fordham U.

• The Class of '57-both men and 

women-starts a group subscription to 

the CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS with this 

issue and becomes the 48th class using 

the plan. Also joining the Group Subscription 

Plan with this issue are the 

Women of 1950 and 1951. Class dues go 

to pay for the subscription. 






since September 1965 and the Men of 



Bowdoin College's Department of Economics, 

has been awarded a PhD degree by the 

U of Washington in Seattle. Freeman served 

as a commissioned officer in the Navy until 

1963, assigned as assistant professor of naval 

science at the U of Washington. Howard L. 

Greene has taken a position on the chemical 

engineering faculty at the U of Akron. Howard 

completed his PhD at Cornell, is married, 

and has two children. The Greenes' home 

address is 69 S. Munroe Rd., Tallmadge, 

Ohio. 

Phillip Danzig has, according to official 

announcement, joined Architectural & Engineering 

News, a Chilton publication, as 

technical editor. On a less official note, a 

good letter from Phil read in part as follows: 

"Since last reported, I received my 

BArch from Columbia in 1962 and thereafter 

we left the country for a year in 

London. 

"After traveling by car (camping as 

well as hoteling) through Germany, 

Czechoslovakia, Austria, and Yugoslavia 

to Greece and return via Italy, France, 

and ship, I worked for three New York 

architectural firms. Our second son, 

Henry James was born September, 1964. 

"I have resumed my journalistic interests 

and find the travel, variety, and 

chance to uncover interesting subjects my 

new job affords, very stimulating. There 

are only three or four technical editors in 

the world of architectural journalism today 

in the US, although the field is growing. 

I passed my New York State architectural 

boards this past June. 

"We see Sam Kaplan, who is a reporter 

for The New York Times' metropolitan 

desk, and wife Sharon (Walther 

'59); Don Levy, an editor of a philosophical 

encyclopedia soon to be released by 

Macmillan (he is responsible for 'P' 

through W); Bernard Reis, a professor 

at Sarah Lawrence; and Bill Tarplin, who 

is with the New York City Dept. of Welfare 

and is studying for a higher degree 

in psychiatric social work." 

The Danzigs' new home address is 86 Edgemont 

Rd., Montclair, N.J. 

In a related area, Lea Minnerly has been 

named an associate in the firm of Deeter, 

Ritchey, Sippel, Architects. 

Donald D. Crane is associated with Prudential 

Insurance Co.'s corporate advertising 

and sales promotion department in Newark. 

Don joined Prudential in 1964 after serving 

as director of public information for a medical 

center, and as a reporter for a Flemington, 

N.J. newspaper. 

Paul Graf has at last moved to an address 

that I can better understand. In January 

Paul joined Procter & Gamble Ltd.'s advertising 

department, Gosforth, Newcastleon-Tyne 

1, England.

Women: -Barbara Redden Learner

I have been asked by the class officers to 

explain the present situation as far as the 

"NEWS and Dues," or Group Subscription 

Plan, is concerned. The '57 Women had decided 

to go into the plan in January, and you 

were told to expect the plan to commence 

with the April issue. However, in the meantime, 

the men of our class decided to join, 

and since it is much better to do this as a 

whole class, we are now getting a subscription 

list compiled, and hope to begin the 

plan with this issue. This plan, which so 

many of the classes subscribe to already, is a 

wonderful idea which permits us all to receive 

the NEWS and at the same time build 

our class treasury. It also permits us to have 

more column space! Sue DeRosay Henninger, 

our class secretary, plans to send out 

requests for information soon, and will mail 

a class newsletter to you sometime this summer 

with a letter explaining the plan and requesting 

your cooperation. Sue and her husband 

Joe '56 will be moving this summer, 

and after July 11 their address will be 1584 

Delcon Dr., Akron, Ohio. Please, all of you, 

send in your card with all the news about 

yourselves - so many people seem to be 

among the missing since graduation, and the 

newsletter, if complete, can be such a wonderful 

reference for the next two years as far 

as addresses go, and even to know how 

many children you have, what you are doing, 

etc. Be prompt, and tell all! 

One note from California remains from 

those I reported last issue. Margaret McLean 

Arreguy, 8862 Anona Way, Orangevale, 

Calif., is the mother of four and a first-grade 

teacher in the San Juan School District in 

Sacramento County. She and her husband 

are active in local politics, and are on the 

board of their local Parent Co-op Nursery 

School. Margaret's brother, George '58 was 

married in Washington on Sept. 24, 1965 to 

Anne Doyle of Dublin, Ireland. 

Jumping to another sunny part of the 

country, Florida, we have Pat Noecker Mc- 

Donough and husband John J. Jr., who is 

resident manager of Merrill, Lynch in Palm 

Beach. The McDonoughs moved to Palm 

Beach in August after nine months in Savannah, 

Ga. where he was also office manager. 

Pat and Jack live at 200 Bahama Lane, 

and would love to hear from any of you who 

come this way. Marlane Glaser Sandground 

(Mrs. Henry) is not too far away, at 3911 

N.E. 25th Ave., Lighthouse Point, Pompano 

Beach, Fla. Marlane writes that they spent 

the summer in the Bahamas! Her daughter 

Marlena, is in second grade now, and she 

says they have both taken up the Brownies. 

She reports having seen Joan Gilman Sobel 

and son Tommy at Palm Beach. 

In Georgia, Alice Kenyon, who is assistant 

professor of zoology at the U of Georgia, 

lives at 1376 S. Lumpkin St., Athens. She 

teaches genetics and population genetics, received 

a National Science Foundation grant, 

and attended Mendel Centennial in Ft. Collins, 

Colo., Sept. 7-11, 1965. 

Carmen Lovre Ryan and husband "Bus" 

'54 moved to Atlanta in March 1965. Bus 

opened an $11 million motor hotel in October, 

and is the manager. Carmen reports seeing 

B. J. Colton Cates quite often. She is active 

in her sorority alumnae chapter. 

Carolyn Nehrbas Alexander (wife of 

Hugh James '56) moved in February 1965, 

to 1424 Dale Dr., Savannah, Ga., and hopes 

it will be fairly permanent. They also would 

like to have any Cornellians stop in. 

June 1966 61

That's all I have for the south - next issue: 

New York!

For those of you to whom the adage applies, 

"The mind is willing, but the flesh is 

weak," just a reminder, though an important 

one, that June 15 is the deadline for gifts 

and pledges to the Cornell Fund. In one way 

or another, we all seem to be in the habit of 

"filing" correspondence and then forgetting 

all about it until it gathers dust and is outdated. 

Let's not let this happen again this 

year. Cornell sincerely appreciates your participation 

in this important project, and 

hopefully anticipates an increase in the influx 

of dusty pledge cards . . . unspindled, 

unmutilated, and unfolded. 

The dearth of incoming mail at 27 Stuart 

St. has been quite overwhelming lately. Up 

to this point, I have been attributing the 

shortage to spring fever, worn-out typewriter 

ribbons, and "busted" ballpoints, but if your 

correspondent doesn't receive some news 

soon I'm afraid that the column will become 

defunct. Then again, I'm the type who takes 

such setbacks as personal affronts . . . don't 

you want me to know that you just had your 

11th child and spent a winter in Tasmania 

-Enough of this nonsense. Please, won't 

you write? 

Our best wishes to Nancy Foth, who on 

March 5 was married to Bryce A. Frey. 

They are at home at 8606 Forest St., Annandale, 

Va. 

Ann Friedman Schmalz and Ernest '57 

announce the birth of their second daughter, 

Lorraine Rosalie on Nov 23, 1965. An older 

sister, Lois, is now 3V2. Ernest is employed 

as an inspector for the Federal Food & Drug 

Administration, while Ann is kept busy at 

89-23 Rutledge Ave., Glendale 27, Queens. 

Ann writes that they are currently occupied 

with the pleasant task of buying a home. 

On Feb. 26, Allison Sue was born to Ivan 

and Paula Rivlin Glickman of Westchester 

County. Paula, who was an editor of elementary 

school textbooks for the Macmillan 

Co. at last report, is now having an opportunity 

to use some of the theory propounded 

by the literati of the educational field. 

Through a happy coincidence, a Cornellian 

is a neighbor of ours. Phyllis (Corwin) 

'59, Chuck '55 Rogers, and their children 

(one boy and one girl) live at 91 Park Ave., 

Allendale, N.J., just to the north of our community. 

We had coffee not too long ago and 

Phyllis gave me news of Peggy Giles Buchanan, 

Ron '58 and their four children, 

Douglas, 7, Debby, 6, Holly, 4, and Scott, 1. 

The family has recently moved to 15709 

Oursler Rd., Burtonsville, Md., where Ron's 

thriving veterinary practice is also located. 

Making her home at Rt. 1, Lafayette, 

Colo., Meg MacLachlin Dodds '59 must be 

surrounded by beautiful scenery. Her husband, 

known to me only as R. W., is a realestate 

broker. 

Put some happiness into my life . . . write.

Ronald C. Butz, 2435 S. Fillmore, Denver, 

Colo., graduated from the U of Denver Law 

School in December 1965 and just passed 

the Colorado Bar. He is associated with the 

firm of Grant, Shafroth, Toll & McHendrie 

in Denver. He and his wife had their first 

child, a son, Curt Hammond, in September. 

William A. Tabor, 117 Southland Dr., 

Rochester, is president of United Diner's 

Club Plans of America, which firm has an 

address at 2930 Monroe Ave., Rochester. 

Bill and his wife, the former Mary Clarey, 

moved into a new home, with a swimming 

pool no less, during the last week of March. 

Kenny and Judy Riskind announced the 

birth of Patricia Lucille Riskind, a 6-lb. 8 oz. 

facsimile of her father, on Jan. 5, 1966. The 

Riskinds are doing well, and, I hope, will excuse 

this belated announcement. 

Jeff Fry, 435 Green St., San Francisco, 

Calif., married Cindy Wollock in Washington, 

D.C., on Jan. 29. Jeff wrote that various 

Cornellians were invited to the affair but 

failed to show up because of the simultaneous 

blizzard. Members of other classes 

did show, proving to Jeff that the "young 

crowd" is heartier than we are. 

William J. Herz has been appointed manager 

of chemical products at Baxter International, 

a division of Baxter Laboratories, 

Inc., Morton Grove, 111. Bill had previously 

served as international product manager of 

the Wallerstein division's products. 

C. E. John Way Jr., 710 West End Ave., 

New York, won first prize in the Rockland 

Foundation competition for a master plan 

and prototype studio building. The Foundation 

is a non-profit center for the creative 

and performing arts in Rockland County. 

Random House, Inc. published Richard 

Farina's first novel Been Down So Long It 

Looks Like Up To Me on April 28. In a prepublication 

review Thomas Pynchon (author 

of the widely acclaimed V. and the recently 

published The Crying of Lot 49) called the 

book "hilarious, chilling, sexy, profound, 

maniacal, beautiful, and outrageous all at 

the same time." Dick also is an accomplished 

folk-rock singer and composer, having 

achieved great success at the Newport Folk 

Festival and on tour. His latest record is 

entitled "Reflections in a Crystal Wind," in 

which he plays a dulcimer and is accompanied 

by his wife, Mimi, on the guitar. 

David Engel, whose mother lives at 38 

Liberty PI., Weehawken, N.J., is a US Foreign 

Service officer and has recently returned 

from more than 3 years of duty as a political 

officer with the American Embassy in South 

Vietnam to assume duties with the Vietnam 

Working Group in the Department of State. 

Dave joined the Foreign Service in 1961 

after receiving the MPA (Master of 

Public Affairs) from Princeton, and was assigned 

in 1962 to the American Embassy 

in Saigon, where he served as a security officer 

in the political section of the Embassy. 

Dave was charged with the specific duty of 

reporting on the situation in the provinces of 

South Vietnam, and in this connection made 

over 50 separate trips into the countryside, 

usually visiting one province at a time for a 

period lasting a few days to a week. The 

picture above shows Dave talking to Vietnamese 

villagers during one of these trips. 

He visited over one half of South Vietnam's 

43 provinces, acquiring in the process an 

intimate knowledge of the attitudes of the 

people. 

For his outstanding work Dave was honored 

by the Department of State on June 11, 

1964, with a Superior Honor Award which 

read, in part, as follows: "He displayed a 

high degree of initiative, resourcefulness, 

and personal courage in keeping with the 

best traditions of the Foreign Service." This 

citation comes as no surprise to anyone who 

knows Dave Engel, nor does a statement 

made in an interview with Dave shortly after 

his return from South Vietnam: "The people 

of South Vietnam are under no illusions 

about what life would be for them under 

the Vietcong and their resistance has been so 

tenacious because they want no part of 

such a life."

A letter from Marian Montgomery Randall 

announces the birth of her daughter 

Sarah on Jan. 28. Her husband, Cory, expects 

to finish his PhD in June. At present 

he is priest-in-charge of a small Episcopal 

mission, St. Andrew's Church in Addyston, 

Ohio. The Randalls' address is 7253 Boleyn 

Dr., Cincinnati, Ohio. 

Marian mentioned some other classmates, 

Dave and Sally Eaton Vrooman who live at 

52V2 Park St., Canton. They have a son, 

Peter Hendrick, born Mar. 1. Jackie 

(Schneider) and Pete Dunning adopted a 

second child last summer. His name is 

Christopher Daniel and his first birthday 

was May 9. Marian says the Dunning family 

has a new address, but she couldn't remember 

it. Jackie? 

Barbara Bennett Marks, who admits she is 

a poor correspondent, is now catching us up 

on her news. She was married in January, 

1963 to Robert Marks and has, since then, 

lived at 12 Calumet Rd., Westport, Conn. 

She is an employment counselor for the 

N.Y.S. Employment Service in Port Chester. 

Her husband is an engineer with Sperry 

Semiconductor in Norwalk, Conn. 

Pretty sparse column, isn't it? And you 

know whose fault that is, don't you?

Capt. John F. Richards, after having returned 

from Germany only last May, received 

a 13-month assignment to Vietnam 

beginning in March. Wife Pat (Laux '61) and 

two children, Debra Leigh, 3Vi 9 and John 

Kenton, IVz, will live in Glen Cove Springs, 

Fla., outside of Jacksonville, during John's 

absence. 

John Sadusky is living at 801 E. McKellips 

3A, Tempe, Ariz. Jack is enrolled at 

Arizona State where he is working for an 

MS in industrial engineering (which he 

should receive this August). The first little 

Sadusky, Donald, was born in June 1965. 

Jack says that he's big enough to make a 

pretty good end (I hope that he doesn't follow 

in the old man's footsteps by dropping 

any more TD passes in the Penn game). 

Howard Picking is now located at Route 1 

Hoeschler Hills, LaCrosse, Aîs. "Skip" is 

working for the Trane Co. in dealer development. 

On Nov. 8, 1965, Skip reports that 

"Adelle (Case '61) and I were blessed with 

our first child, a boy, Daniel Howard. Aside 

from being handsome, intelligent, et al like 

his father, his most outstanding characteristic 

is his large feet." Sounds like another 

end to me (you may recall that in '59 

"Skip" was the other starting end besides 

Jack Sadusky). 

Dave Dresser, our class's contribution to 

the All-American lacrosse team, is still on 

home stomping grounds. Dave received his 

master of education from Cornell in February 

1966. He's still teaching and coaching 


at Baldwinsville Academy. Wife Pat (Rohm 

'61) produced a sister for Lynn and Leeborn 

the 31st and named Cynthia Dawn. 

Don Dewey was released from the Army 

in October 1964, and since then he has been 

back at the Service Bureau Corp. (an IBM 

subsidiary) and is now a supervisor of analysts 

and programmers doing computer programming 

on a contract basis. Don is located 

at 308 W. 82nd St., New York. 

PM1 Geib writes that he is still with PT&T 

in northern California, but that he went back

Just a comparatively short time ago the 

Class of '60 was all situated "on the hill" - 

since then we have been on the move! For 

example, Gail Taylor Hodges sent word that 

Sue Glowacki is now teaching at St. Dominic's 

School, Lahad Datu, Sabah, Malaysia. 

She has been there since last August and will 

probably be there two more years or so. Sue 

wrote "It is a lovely lush country, the people 

are friendly, and the students keen." Gail 

believes Sue got her master's in teaching 

English to foreign students at the U of 

Michigan before she left. 

Another person to write to abroad is 

Norma Ruebman Wightman. She became 

Mrs. Peter Wightman on Feb. 26 in Gwelo, 

Rhodesia. While in Europe last fall she met 

Peter in Amsterdam and after a fantastic 

courtship (to quote Pat Hicks Kleis: "the 

kind that sounds like something out of a 

novel but nothing you'd ever expect to happen 

to anyone you know"), she hurried back 

to the States to corral her belongings. Peter 

and his father run a travel agency in Gwelo 

- a city about 150 miles from Salisbury and 

the home of the Royal Rhodesian Air 

Force Academy. Mail reaches her at PO Box 

640, Gwelo. 

In California, Carolyn (Bailey), Brint '58, 

Beth, and Janet Deighton have moved to 

60 Lynwood PL, Moraga. Brint was transferred 

to Standard Oil's main office in San 

Francisco where he is working in the controller 

dept. Last spring his company sent 

him to Cornell to speak to the Senior class 

about chem. engineers in industry. Carolyn 

is active in AAUW. 

Our dues-collecting treasurer, Sue Luther 

Koon, sent me a letter from Marguerite 

Blomgren Ernstene of 1691 San PasquaΓ St., 

Pasadena, Calif., which I shall summarize 

briefly. She left Cornell in February '58 due 

to financial reasons, but has kept up with 

several Cornellians and met many alumni. 

By bits and pieces she has attended local 

California colleges and has now senior status, 

majoring in English. Her husband, Marshall, 

received his PhD in nuclear physics 

from Cal Tech and left "academia" for a job 

in research and development. Their children 

Kristin, 5, and Eric, V/i, both attend a cooperative 

nursery school where their mother 

does much "cooperating." Marguerite's other 

activity is the League of Women Voters. In 

closing, she wrote to Sue Koon "When you 

said to let us hear from you I'm sure you 

meant to send you just a check. But perhaps 

this little history will make the check signer 

a little human." 

Steve '58 and Evie Edwards Milman, along 

with 13-month-old Douglas, recently moved 

from the Village to 142 West End Ave., New 

York (which is Lincoln Towers - abounding 

with Cornellians). Before Doug's birth she 

completed her master's at Columbia's Teachers 

College and was head teacher at the International 

Play School in New York. Steve 

is a security analyst with Shields & Co. 

Eight lb. 7 oz. Mark Alan chose April

Reunion-bound alumni from Milwaukee, 

Chicago, and Detroit can travel in style, as 

John Borhman '41 has chartered a DC6-B 

from United Air Lines. The plane will leave 

Milwaukee on Thursday, June 16, at 12:00 

noon ($90 per person), leave Chicago 

Midway Airport at 1:00 P.M. ($70 per person), 

and leave Detroit's Metropolitan Airport 

at 2:30 P.M. ($50 per person), arriving

will depart on Sunday, June 19, making 

stops at all the aforementioned cities. The 

plane can accommodate a total of 85 people, 

and the prices are approximately $20 less 

than commercial air fare. It might be kind 

of late right now to make any reservations; 

however, if you have an interest in traveling 

on the charter flight, contact John W. 

Borhman, Apt. 915, 910 Lake Shore Dr., 

Chicago.

long-awaited Reunion at Cornell. "Have a 

Barrel of Fun with '61." Be there! It promises 

to be a blast. Reunion chairman Ken Blanchard 

has done an outstanding job of lining 

up events, and I know the week-end will be 

well worth the trip.

It's a boy for Tom and Karen Palmer 

McCrystal, 2124 Bristolwood Lane, San 

Jose, Calif. Thomas Raymond Jr. weighed 

in at 5 lbs. 15Vi oz. on Jan. 4. "Except for 

losing the tax deduction," writes Karen, "it's 

been a wonderful year for us. I just finished 

working as a programmer for GE's atomic 

power equipment dept. in December. My 

husband is an engineer at Lockheed in Sunnyvale. 

My new and permanent (?) job 

status is now housewife." 

Bob '59 and I took off a weekend in April 

for a trip to Washington, D.C. in search of 

warmer weather. We didn't find too much 

spring, but made up for that at a delightful 

dinner party given by John '60 and Helen 

Zesch Ward at their home on Burnside 

Farm, Owings Mills, Md. Among the guests 

were Bill and Sandy Wills Wood, Michael 

and Brenda (Clucas '61) Hecht, Phil and 

Nancy Halsey Young, and Ken '61 and Margie 

McKee Blanchard. Perhaps I needn't add 

that such a good time was had by all that 

your correspondent did not spend the evening 

taking notes. But I believe the following 

is accurate : 

The Woods had moved into a new apartment 

in Bethesda the previous weekend in 

order to be nearer Bill's work with a law 

firm there. He is working part time while 

finishing up his law degree at the U of Maryland; 

Sandy is still teaching. 

The Youngs also have a new address: 

809 Sligo Creek Pkwy., Takoma Park, Md. 

Nancy teaches elementary school and Phil, 

a Navy Lt. (jg), is on the staff of Admiral 

Rickover. 

Margie and Ken were in town for a series 

of interviews Ken had lined up with college 

administrators who were convening in Washington. 

He has been doing graduate work in 

educational administration at Cornell and 

they have been head residents in Sage Hall 

this year. Bonus for residents of Sage (now 

a graduate center) is a third head resident, 

son Scottie, 1. Margie received her master's 

in speech therapy at Cornell last fall. 

Brenda and Michael were recently transferred 

from Cincinnati to Baltimore, where 

Michael is associated with Stewart's as a 

marketing manager. The morning after the 

above-mentioned party, the Wards and the 

Criteses were off to sip Bloody Mary's at 

the Hecht residence (6301 Blenheim Rd., 

Baltimore 12), where Terry and Joy Harwood 

Rogers were also visiting. Joy and 

Terry were down from New York (1267 

First Ave., New York 21) for a lacrosse 

game. He is a fourth-year student at Cornell 

Med School and she is a nurse. Brenda and 

Mike's 16-month-old Betsy got along famously 

with Page Ward, almost 3, and they 

had marvelous fun encouraging the Hechts' 

dachshund, Fritz, to clean up the remaining 

scraps of eggs Benedict. He did. Little Liza 

Ward, not yet 1, slept happily through it all. 

Helen also brought me up-to-date on "Dee 

Dee" McCoy Stovel (Mrs. John R.) who 

teaches home ec full time in Middletown, 

Conn. Jack is due to finish his graduate 

studies at Wesley an this month. The Stovel 

address is 251V£ Pine St., Middletown. She 

had also recently seen Karin Nielsen (50 

Knollbrook Rd., Apt. 3, Rochester 10), a 

home economist with the R. T. French Co., 

and Nancy Berger Hauger, here on a visit 

from her home in Norway. John '60 and 

Alaire Sedgwick Beeby and son David have 

moved to 425-C Willow St., Alameda, Calif., 

courtesy of Procter & Gamble. Lo and 

Linda Altshuler Lee just moved from that 

area to Los Angeles. Bob '61 and Larrie 

Dockerill Teich, 62 Lower Crescent, Sausalito, 

Calif., have become confirmed westerners. 

Also learned that Peter '61 and Nancy 

Schlegel Meinig recently left Pittsburgh for 

Mexico City, where Pete is with one of the 

steel companies. Barbara McNeill is in 

New York doing graduate work at Columbia. 

This has been quite a month for us to see 

Cornellians - Jim Marshall '59 rang us up 

one afternoon from Ann Arbor, where he 

was attending meetings on remote sensing 

devices, and arrived for dinner the next day 

in Jay Hooker's car. Jay '59 was unable to 

come along due to pressure of law exams. 

Jay will receive his law degree from the U of 

Michigan this summer and has been living at 

523 Packard in Ann Arbor. Jim had to leave 

wife Betty (Nelson '60) and son Donald at 

home in Lawrence, Kan., where they moved 

in February after Jim received his degree 

from the U of New Mexico. He is doing 

graduate work in geography at the U of 

Kansas. 

We ventured to Detroit last night for a 

Cornell Club dinner at which President 

Perkins outlined some of the changes taking 

place at Cornell. Sounds exciting, though we 

may hardly know the place by Reunion time 

a year from now. Karin Nielsen and Dee 

Dee McCoy Stovel have been working up 

plans for a tip-top Reunion - and it's not too 

early to put in on your calendars.

I received another letter from Bryan 

Knapp a short while back. He was interested 

in knowing how many of the kids from our 

class would be going up to Ithaca for Senior 

Week or the weekend of graduation, June 

10-12. He and Bob Libson had hoped that 


we might be able to arrange some sort of 

class get-together. Unfortunately, this issue 

of the NEWS won't be distributed until just 

about that time; therefore, if there is going 

to be some sort of a '65 Reunion it will probably 

be a spontaneous one. Those of you 

who are lucky enough to get back up to 

Cornell, have a great time and look out for 

any notices of '65 get-together ... I mean,

Art Mayer-self-taught mechanic 

now teaches at a GM Training Center 

He was the happiest boy in town when 

he landed a part-time job at the corner 

gas station. He wanted to be a mechanic 

for as long as he could remember. He 

wanted to learn all he could about cars 

and engines. And this was his bigchance. 

He turned his part-time job into a fulltime 

ambition. He never lost the desire 

to work on engines ... or to learn more. 

GM 

After serving as a helicopter mechanic 

during the war, Art joined one of the 

General Motors car divisions as a mechanic 

and soon worked his way up to 

Master Mechanic. Today, Arthur E. 

Mayer, Jr., is an instructor at one of 30 

GM Training Centers across the nation, 

with a total annual enrollment of some 

125,000 automotive mechanics drawn 

from GM retail dealerships. The "refresher" 

courses taught at these centers 

keep local dealer mechanics constantly 

abreast of new advances in 

technology and service methods. 

Art Mayer is happy working with his 

students, helping to advance their 

knowledge and skills. He's a fine example 

of the kind of people that make GM go.
