Germany: A Year After V-EBy HOBERT J. TRAYHER , '34

Day

Bob Trayhern was on leave of absenc.e as assistc"ntprofessor of philosophy from last October until theopening of the Fall term to serve as economic an­alyst with the Office of Political Affairs," U. S. Officeof Military Government. He was in Germanyin that capacity from December 29 until July 19.

. I

E ARLY last December, just before leaving for dutywith the State Department in Germany, some of

my friends OJ?- the River Campus in the course of theirfarewells made a few grim predictions about the condi·tions I was sure to find in the devastated Reich. Roches· I

ter was deep in snow at the time and it wasn't hard toimagine what the first dreary post·war winter in a placelike Berlin would be like.

As it happened, these predictions turned out to bepartly correct; but not for Berlin. My first assignmentwas at Marburg, a small university town (recently writ­ten up in LIFE) a few miles north of Frankfurt. Herethe quarters were cold and the drafty castle where weworked, high above the town, even colder. Unseasonablefloods in January often cut off our courier communica·tions with Frankfurt. Mail, rations and supplies wereuncertain and slow in coming through. Telephone servoice was poor, the water was unpotable, and our rattletraptransportation chronically unreliable.

American Colony Efficiently' OrganizedBut Berlin was nothing like that. Arriving there in

mid.February, it was a welcome surprise to come infrom the field to find the bustling headquarters of theU. S. Office of Military Government (OMGUS) prettymuch like any big agency in Washington. The buildingswere trim and well.equipped, the offices warm and fullyfurnished, with telephones ringing, typewriters clatteringand conferences going on. Since last winter many im­provements have been made, but even at that time it wasclear that OMGUS had quickly established and outfitteditself to give our government strong representation inthe four-power control of Germany.

Today nothing is more astonishing to dependentsflocking into Berlin than the organization and efficiencyof the OMGUS community. Around it a large Americancolony is growing up with almost all the supplies, serv­ices and ways of doing things which American wives andfamilies are accustomed to at home.

The Hussian sector takes up the whole eastern half

6

of Berlin, with the French in the northwest and the Brit­ish in the west-central districts respectively. In the south­west corner lies the United States Sector, luckily estab­lished in one of the least damaged districts of the Ger­man capital. In this area bordering on the Gruenwald,a spacious forested park and lake district, are some ofthe finest homes and villas still standing in the city.Most are occupied by or reserved for U. S. personnel andtheir families.

Homes of Nazi Officials Taken OverOMGUS offices in attractively landscaped surround-

ings are located in Dahlem, once the richest residentialarea in Berlin. High ranking military government staffmembers and officers now occupy many villas in thatarea which were once the homes of top Nazi officials andWchrmacht generals. The modern and compact group ofbuildings housing OMGUS was formerly the Luftgau,headquarters and nerve center of Goering's airforces.

ear this group is the famous Kaiser" ilhelm ResearchInstitute, where some of the azis' ill-starred atomic en­ergy experiments were carried out. Also in the vicinityof OMGUS is Martin iemoller's parish church, partlydamaged. (In Marburg I met and talked briefly with

iemoller, who was making a tour of the German univer­sity towns in the U. S. Zone, preaching to apathetic andsomewhat sullen congregations ~n the unpopular themeof German guilt.)

Administered by German CouncilThe Allied Control Authority (ACA), for which

OMGUS provides the U. S. element and staff, over·sees the government of Germany as a whole. However,to administer the affairs of the four·sector Berlin en·clave in the heart of the Hussian Zone, it has deputizeda local four.power commission, called the Allied Kom·mandantura. Actually, the work of municipal adminis­tration is carried out by the Berlin Magistrate, a councilof German civil officials screened, appointed and super­vised by the Kommandantura.

Berliners, of course, look on the Magistrate as justanother "puppet government," complaining that it is too

ROCHESTER ALUMNI - ALUMNAE REVIEW

heavily !'taffed with Russian-sponsored opportunists.i'ievertheless. in the space of a few short months theKommandantura and Magistrate. with Allied technicala·nd engineering help, had accomplished the restorationof a large part of the city's util ities, long before anyonethought it could be done. By early spring of thi's yearuncontaminated water supply was available in most ofthe urban area; electric power, light and gas serviceshad been restored; telephone lines and exchanges wereback in limited operation; subway, hus, street car andelevated transit systems had been patched together andput into service on surprisingly punctual schedules.

No Large Scale Public HousingAlthough most of Berlin's main railway stations

and adjacent railyards had been wrecked, by April ofthis year a few passenger coaches and freight cars were'plying back and forth daily to the outlying zones. Rub­ble clearance squads, manned mostly by women andgirls, had made most of the main thoroughfares pass­able.

On the other hand, apart from scattered and woe­fully makeshift repairs, almost no large scale re.con­~truction either in public housing or industrial rebuild­ing had been completed or even properly undertakenhy the time I left Berlin late in July. This was duelargely to lack of materials and heavy equipment. Yetin spite of this forced delay in reconstruction, severalthousand dwellings in Berlin had somehow been madehabitable as early as March, 1946.

They Don't Like ItToday's sightseer wandering around the central

Uerlin or Stadtmitte area, who remembers it from beforethe war, will find little that is recognizable. The 'ViI·helmstrasse, for example, is hardly more than a path:Hibbentrop's Foreign Office, Goebbel's PropagandaMinistry and Hitler's Chancellery are now only scrapheaps and bird roosts. In the upper floor of the Chan·cellery, still somehow intact at one end, a few papers,

\ German military decorations and unused luncheon tick­ets can still be found a year after the fall of the city.Uelow, well beneath the street level in the deep basementof the Chancellery, the Russians for some obscure reasonhave posted a guard at the entrance to the bunker whereHitler brought down the curtain on his career.

German'reaction to the occupation is easy to sum·marize: they don't like it. Indicative of German feelinglast winter, the predicted low point in morale, is thebitter little scrap of verse which was circulating amongthe population at the time:

"Got schenke uns ein funftes Reich;das vierte ist dem dritten gleich.""God send us a Fifth Reich; the Fourth (i. e. the

occupation) is just like the Third." Among the com·plaints that this verse sums up are the feeling that the

SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER, 1946

denazification laws are too severe and unjust, thaI thepopulation is being deliberately starved as a form ofslow punishment and retribution. and that the promisedpolitical liberty following the sma!'hing of the l\azis isonly a mirage.

As for denazification, the Germans complain that illtoo many cases our military gov~rnment approves civil­ians for responsible posts whose only qualification isthat they weren't Nazis. In the Russian zone, they claim.where the procedure is different and appointments aremade on meri.t, German sympathy is being wooed awaytoward the Soviet system. They complain that the Ru!'­sian·backed newspapers in Berlin are almost pure propa·ganda and that the British and U. S.-sponsored papers.trying to compete with such "national advertising," arefalling into similar bad habits. The results of this clat·ter of propaganda, so they claim, are confusion in pub­lic opinion, a dribble of real news and further doubt!'about the unity among the occupying powers. Perhapsthe bittel"est complaint to be heard among the Germansin Berlin, where news filters in easily from the surround­ing Russian Zone, is that a virtually one-party systemhas already extended itself across that zone and practi­cally swallowed up all but a token political resistanceto its growth. This they see as a sure sign that the east­ern districts of Germany are falling more and moredeeply under the direct influence of the Soviet order andgradually losing all chance of future political self-deter­mination.

Travel in Russian Sector UnrestrictedMay Day of this year made 'it impressively clear that

Berlin is lodged squarely in the heart of the Russian Zone.On that date a huge workers' rally gathered 400,000strong in the Lustgarten to hear vigorous appeals fromfaction leaders in the Social Democratic and Com­munist parties for the union of German workers in theSoviet-favored Einheitsparlei (Unity Party). Red flagsabounded in the raJly; on some a pale circular spot inthe center could be plainly seen where the Nazi emblemhad been removed. \X:'here flags could not be had, redbedding was hung out of windows. Red carnations weresold for ten pfennigs each to those in the crowd whowanted to show their sympathies for the parties of theleft. J Ilst how voluntary the demonstration was could notbe easily ascertained, but it was widely rumored amongBerliners for weeks afterward that the whole affair wasfar from spontaneous.

Travel around the four sectors of Berlin is practi.cally unrestricted day or night. During many trips intothe Russian sector, on official business or sightseeing,I was never accosted by any Russian officer or patrol,or required to show my military pass except when enter­ing Russian-occupied buildings. The situation is ofcourse different for travel into the Hussian Zone around

7

\

the Berlin enclave. Official travel orders, written in En­glish and Russian showing approval of Soviet authorities,have to be obtained for any trip outside of Berlin. Never­theless the difficulty of getting behind the so-called ironcurtain is at times, I think, overrated. For example, aconsiderahle number of American personnel, travellingby private car, rail or bus, as they chose, recently hadno difficulty in obtaining passes from Soviet officials toattend the Leipzig Fair in the Russian Zone. In anotherapparently well-verified case, four American correspond­ents who last· winter applied to U. S. authorities forpermission to take a tour of inspection into' the RussianZone found themselves stalled several weeks in the pro­cess of obtaining the necessary passes. Finally, inquir­ing of one of the U. S. liaison officers about the reasonfor the delay, they were told that the request for entrywas still going through "channels." They then asked theofficer handling the request if the Russians themselves

had been consulted on the matter. Finding that this hadnot yet been done, approval was given to approach theSoviet Authorities with the request_ The answer: "Cer­tainly. Come right ahead."

Working Unity SoughtAmerican-Russian relations in Berlin, so far as I

could see, generally' were business-like and friendly.Most OMGUS officials, whatever their private opinions,have been trying honestly and sincerely to keep alive thespirit and practice of Allied 'cooperation in Berlin.Strong emphasis there is put upon maintaining effectivefour-power working relations, whatever the obstacles,and suppressing talk or rumor which would encourageGerman scepticism about Allied unity.

Russian entertaining of Allied guests was usuallyrestricted to large receptions or other such social func­tions. Occasionally, though, Russian officers or staffmembers would accept invitations to American officerclubs for luncheons or small informal parties. The ruleat such affairs, however, was strict avoidance of politicalthemes. As might be expected, our social mingling withthe British and French came more naturally and frequen­tly than with the Russians. The language barrier certain­ly had a lot to do with this and it inspired a number ofour people at OMGUS to go to work in earnest learningRussian.

A Great International ExperimeritAlthough the men at work in Berlin today have few

illusions about the job they were sent there to do, withall its difficulties, they seemed to me to have a strongdetermination to carry it through and a strong hope thata solution in the spirit of Potsdam can ultimately bereached on the big problems that will face them formany months to come.

To the casual observer Berlin today provides endlessinterest through its lively international color and fan­tastic contrasts. To the alert political observer, it is reogarded as the practical proving ground of clashing na·tional policies, quickly reflecting in its moods ~nd ru­mors the slightest shift in international relations. Look­ing around him, the new arrival in Berlin soon realizeshow much of the world's military and political might isrepresented there. Besides the four controlling powers,military missions of other countri~s in Western Europe,Scandinavia, South Africa and China are establishedthere, all watching closely the progress of an interna­tional experiment on which the peace largely depends.

30 University Personnel Return from Bikini~

Col. Warren Shifts from Fission to Fishin'THE University of Rochester, with nearly 30 repre­

sentatives of its Medical School, science departments,and atomic medical research project participating iI1 theatomic bomb tests at Bikini, made a great contributionto the success of Operations Crossroads.

Col. Stafford 1. Warren, chief of the medical sectionof the Manhattan Project and head of the radiologicalsafety task force for the Bikini tests, expressed thatopinion on his return to Rochester on September 7, whenhe staged a reunion with the other University of Roches·ter scientists who had been at Bikini this summer.

Rochester had the largest single group of any insti·tution represented at Bikini, Colonel Warren said, andhe credited University personnel with invaluable assis·tance in training many others in the work of safeguard­ing from radioactivity the 42,000 who took part in thetests. Many of those from Rochester were in the moni·toring group that was the first to enter the area afterthe bomb burst. The radiological safety personnel had'the most responsible job of any of the group at Bikini,and its work was so successful that not a man washarmed by radioactivity.

Dean J. Edward Hoffmeister, who was one of the

SEPTEMBER.OCTOBER, 1946

four geologists sent to Bikini by the U. S. GeologicalSurvey to study the effect of the atomic bomb on thecoral reefs, reported on his return that Colonel Warrenwas the "most outstanding person in the whole opera·tion."

"Everybody out there praised him and everybodyknew who he was," Dean Hoffmeister said. "His namewas mentioned more frequently than Admiral Blandy's.He unquestionably also had the hardest job."

After more than three years of Army service withthe Manhattan Project and the Bikini tests, ColonelWarren received his discharge a few weeks ago, andplanned to return to his work as professor of radiologyat the Medical School about October 1.

No sooner was Colonel Warren discharged from theArmy than he set out for Nova Scotia and an anglingexpedition with Dean George H. Whipple. It was hisfirst relaxation in three years of responsibility and workthat would have broken anyone of frailer stuff. Healmost literally had the world on his shoulders. Fromnow on, he admits, he would gladly devote himself tofishin' and let others worry about the fission-nuclear,that is.

10 ROCHESTER ALUMNI - ALUMNAE REVIEW

By JAMES E. McGHEE, '19

lAs Your Retiring President • • •

James E. McGhee

THE job of being wartime president of the Associat­ed Alumni has not been arduous though it has been

of long duration. It is needless to recount the changesthat took place in the University because of the war andthe resultant changes in alumni activities.

The war brought many new faces in uniform frommany other colleges, many of whom had original loyal­ties to other schools and from whom, because of theshortness of their stay at the University, there was littlereason to. expect post-war alumni support. They wouldpost-war-wise consider themselves Rochester alumni. Itwas our thought that those who came from elsewhere toRochester and who wanted to consider themselves alumnishould be encouraged to do so and this was one of theefforts of our Association during the period when thenormal alumni efforts were minimized.

The taking over of the University facilities by theNavy meant we could not use the University as our meet­ing ground. The crowded transportation and hotel facili­ties, coupled with food restrictions, made it unwise forus to consider homecomings, reunions, or alumni meet­ings. For this reason, this Fall is our first annual meet­ing since 1941 and the first opportunity the alumni elec­torate has had to provide itself with new officers and tobegin a newly stimulated plan of alumni action.

Even during alumni inactivity, the Board of Mana­gers has met regularly to consider, discuss and act onalumni problems. Most of us were participating in oneor more war activities, so it did not seem wise that theAlumni Association should participate as a group. Wedid, however, lend the support of the Association to adrive toward obtaining volunteer help for Strong Memo­rial Hospital. This, we understand, was considered ofinestimable value to the hospital and its operations at atime when hospital services were imperiled by the un­availability of workers. We studied and discussed meas­ures which we thought should be taken to perpetuate thememory of those of our body who ~erved during the warand in particular those who lost their lives. Last year wedoubled our efforts in a drive toward a memorial fundwhich we are continuing. We believe that the new

SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER, 1946

alumni administration will carryon these efforts andreach the goal which has been tentatively established.

One thought that has occurred to us has been the lackof apparent emphasis that has been given alumni giftsto the University. A great many colleges credit to theiralumni body all funds received directly from or thosestimulated by alumni members. In Rochester, our alumni.fund totals have been comparatively small because theyhave been only those gifts made at the time of a specificyearly solicitation to the alumni. We hope that the alum­ni fund will continue to grow because of this direct andspecific solicitation and we believe that this growth maybe stimulated by crediting to the alumni those othergifts for which the alumni are directly responsible. Thismay seem merely a matter of bookkeeping and probablyis such but it has occurred to a number that our fundwould carry more significance if it received the stimulusof those other gifts which come from our body.

We are sorry to lose the services of Chuck Daltonas alumni secretary but we do not at all begrudge himthe opportunity that his University position presented.Chuck was a tireless, loyal and enthusiastic alumni work­er and we know that in his capacity as Director of Ad­missions he will continue to be close to the alumnigroup and that his interest will not leave us. His suc­cessor, Peter J. Prozeller Jr., was selected by our com­mittee after the consideration of a number of appli­cants. His tour of duty so far has been brief but we feelconfident that we have in him one in whom all will bepleased.

As your retiring president I thank you for the honorof the office. I regret its accomplishments do not seemmore spectacular and I bespeak your cooperation for mysuccessor and his associates. I also want to thank theother officers of your association and the Board of Man­agers for their willing aid at a time when all were busywith other tasks. The President of the University and hisassociates have also been considerate and helpful. Thecontinued help of all will be as necessary as ever for thesuccess of the new administration.

Almost in the shadow of the Rush Rhees Library tower, these temporary veterans' dormitorie$ are helping toward apartial solution of the campus housing problem. The three L-shaped buildings like the one shown here will shelter a

total of 150 single veterans among the student body.

'River' Flooded with Students, t Princesses' at Peak, Too;

Fulltime Enrollment of University Up 68%, Hits 3,700

OPENI G of college in September found all divi­sions of the University operating at capacity, with

enrollments at the Prince Street and River Campusesfar exceeding previous levels.

Freshman classes this year will graduate as the cen­tennial classes of the University -in 1950, hundrethanniversary of the University's founding.

Exact figures could not be obtained in time for thisissue of the Review, but indications were that the under­graduate registration at the College for Men would bein the neighborhood of 1,200, 80 per cent of them vet­erans, and at the College of Women about 660. Thepre-war average at the River Campus was 660, and at theCollege for Men totaled about 330, including 100 vet­erans taking off-campus classes at Madison High School,as compared with the largest pre-war freshman class of206. The total entering group at the College for Men,including some 140 former Navy V-12 and NROTCtrainees at the River Campus now admitted as civilianstudents with advanced standing, was 520.

Estimated fulltime enrollment in all divisions of theUniversity is around 3,700, as compared with an averagepre-war fulltime enrollment of 2,195. Adding an esti­mated 1,500 students taking parttime programs in Uni­versity School brings the aggregate of fulltime and part­time students in the University to approximately 5,200,as against a comparable pre-war figure of 4,124.

Of the entering group at the College for Men, 390are veterans. The members come from all parts of theUnited States and several foreign countries, includingFrance, The Netherlands, and Norway. Eighty percent

12

of the men's student body consists of veterans, many ofthem married; more than 200 University of Rochesterstudents who left college for military service came backthis Fall to continue their education.

This Fall also marks the beginning of the peacetimeNROTC program at the River Campus, in which thesplendid naval training facilities in the new HarknessHall will play an important part. Capt. George C.Towner, USN, heads the University's Naval ScienceDepartment.

Fifty new faculty members in the College of Artsand Science have been added since last November tohel p shoulder the unprecedented teaching load, and anumber of men who have been on leave have returnedto the campus. These include Dr. Dexter Perkins, who re­turned from England in July after occupying the newchair of American history and institutions at CambridgeUniversity; Eric C. Vance, '25, associate professor ofbusiness administration, who was on leave to study forhis doctorate at Northwestern University; Frank P.Smith, 'William E. Dunkman, both associate professorsof economics, and Stanley N. Van Voorhis, associateprofessor of physics, all of whom had been on leavefor military or government service.

Bill Gavett. ·44. Named to Direct Remodeled Todd Union

J William (Bill) Gavett, '44, was a mainspring in the• activities of Todd Union when he was an under­

graduate, as well as being a leading light in many an-other River Campus enterprise.

That background-plus a tour of Navy duty-isstanding him in good stead in his new role as directorof Todd Union, a job that will keep him on the jump,what with the Men's College campus being crowded withover 1,200 students.

Nearly all of 1:his record number of undergraduateshave occasion to use Todd at one time or another duringthe day, and Bill, with the aid of a committee headedby Bill Gay, also '44, is planning an extensive programof events for the Fall and Winter.

After three years of use by the heavy-booted NavyV-12 trainees, the Union was looking definitely seedylast June. Now, however, it has been completely refur­bished and renovated. The major change is the enlarg­ing of the lounge, which is now about double its formersize. This was accomplished by tearing out partitionsand eliminating several offices. The big dining room onthe main floor has been done over with oyster white wallsand Williamsburg blue trim, after the famous Apollo

Room in Raleigh Tavern, Williamsburg, Va.

The old lounge will have new rugs and hangings,with-' red, green, and luggage.color leather upholstery onthe chairs and divans. The new lounge in what used tobe the lobby and offices will be semi-modern in treatment.

Additional kitchen and bakery facilities have been in­stalled in what was formerly the University Book Storein the basement, and the Book Store is now located inlarger quarters in the ,basement of Rhees Library.

Bill Gavett joined the Navy as a midshipman in May,1944, and was a member of the Navy College TrainingProgram unit at Cornell University. He was assignedto the amphibian service, and was on LST duty in thePacific from April, 1945, until May of this year, onwhat he calls "repatriation runs," transporting Japanesefrom various points in the Pacific back to their homes.

In his senior year at Rochester, Bill won the TerryPrize as the outstanding man in his class. As an under­graduate he was on the Varsity swimming team, and wasa member of Keidaeans, Mendicants, and Delta Upsilon.He is the son of the late Prof. Joseph W. Gavett, whowas Engineering Department chairman for many years.

University's Giant New Cyclotron GuaranteedTo Be True Atom-Smasher

M agnificent equipment that should place the Uni­versity of Rochester in the forefront of tremendous

new developments in nuclear physics is being built atthe River Campus.

Work is well under way on the new plant to housea super cyclotron, or atom smasher, that will produceparticles of more than 250 million volts, or 16 timesthe maximum energy of any hitherto produced anywhere.The work on fundamental nuclear research with the newapparatus will be with protons (hydrogen particles).The most energetic proton beam produced up to now inthe laboratory is 15 million volts.

The program is being financed largely by the U. S.Navy Office of Research and Invention, which alreadyhas made a substantial initial contribution to the project.The University will absorb a certain proportion of thecosts and provide two new buildings, one to housethe huge atom-smasher, and another adjacent to it forcontrol room, shop, laboratories and offices. It is hopedthat the cyclotron will be far enough along to producehigh energy protons by next summer.

What research physicists are looking for is the key tothe 'nucleus, says Dr. Sidney W. Barnes, professor ofphysics who is in charge of the cyclotron program underDr. George B. Collins, new chairman of the Physics De­partment. Despite the astounding technological develop­ments that led to the production of the atomic bomb,scientists as yet have no satisfactory nuclear theory.Physicists working on cosmic rays, Dr. Barnes explains,have discovered a particle called a meson or a mesotron.At present, mesons can be obtained only from cosmicrays that come from oute.r space, for some experiments atthe rate of only one a day. Exhaustive'studies of theseleave many questions unanswered. It is hoped thatsome of these questions can be answered if mesons areproduced in the laboratory in greater quantities. Theseanswers should aid in the formulation of a nuclear the­ory. This is one of the reasons why the 250 m.e.v. cyclo­tron is being built at Rochester.

Even without a satisfactory theory of the nucleus,research to date has led to the discovery of nuclear en·ergy with all its possible applications for good, asidefrom its use in atomic bombs.

The new cyclotron will be a real atom-smasherwhich earlier ones, despite the fact that they were sodubbed, were not. Cyclotrons of the past transmuted oneelement to another, such as changing oxygen to nitrogen.The 250 million volt apparatus should take any element

14

and literally smash atoms into minute fragments. In­formati~n gained in these experiments should help toclarify our ideas of the nucleus.

The University's cyclotron will be the world's secondlargest. At the University of California work is wellalong on one that may accelerate protons, at about one­quarter of a billion electron volts of energy.

Other institutions are considering similar programsfor building huge cyclotrons, .but it is believed thatRochester's is the biggest actually under way. Theproject has been greatly helped by the University ofCalifornia's Radiation Laboratory under famed Prof.E. O. Lawrence, where all the development work for theRochester atom-smasher is being done. Dr. Barnes, Dr.Joseph B. Platt, '37, and other members of the PhysicsDepartment have spent considerable time at the Cali­fornia laboratory working on the design, development,and test models of the magnet.

Rochester industries are showing a keen interest inthe project. Already the Rochester Gas & Electric Cor­poration is actively assisting in the design and procure­ment of the necessary power equipment.

The cyclotron will be the property of the Navy butits construction and operation for basic research will beunder direction of the Physics Department. The weightof the magnet alone will be 1,100 tons, as compared withthe IS-ton magnet of the University's present seven mil­lion-volt cyclotron. Magnet pole pieces will be 130inches in diameter, just five times the 26-inch diameterof the present cyclotron. which will continue to be used.The magnet will be 26 feet long, 17 feet high, and 11feet thick. Individual forgings composing the magnetwill weigh up to 150 tons apiece. The forgings and theirmachining is being done by the Carnegie Illinois SteelCompany and will have to be transported on specialfreight cars for assembly at the River Campus site atthe southwest corner near the power plant. The cyclo­tron building will be located in a small ravine, theembankments of which will serve as a radiation shield.

A noteworthy feature of the new nuclear physics pro­ject is that unlike many other such undertakings sinceWorld War II began, it is non-secret. Any alumni orfriends of the University may be permitted to visit thelaboratory at any time. Conditions of the contract withthe Navy provide that first priority be given to basicresearch, that the project be used also for the trainingof graduate students, and that no military control wj}lbe exercised over publication of research results.

Burnham Works Rugged SO-Man Squad in Gridiron Practices

I T was a perfect golden day when the Varsity footballcandidates first reported at the River Campus stadium

on September 5, and Coach Elmer Burnham's face wasnearly as radiant as the sun as he looked over the 70hopefuls who had turned out.

They were a husky-looking group and among themwere a number of lettermen from the 1945 team, as wellas several squad members from 1941 and 1942 who havereturned from military service. Before the week of prac­tice was up, the squad had grown to 80.

These factors pointed to a successful gridiron seasonfor Rochester, but the cautious coach reminded thatthe Varsity's opponents would be equally bolstered byreturning veterans and that the competition this yearwould unquestionably be rugged.

As a nucleus around which to work, Burnham hasthese men from the 1945 team: Don Diehl and Dick Gar­nish, halfbacks ; Warren Fisher, tackle, Ed Kern, end,all regulars, and Substitutes Fred Rothel and Line Ma­gill, halfbacks, W~rren Zimmer and John Malloy,quarterbacks, Henry Draggett, end and Sheldon Phillips,tackle. Arnold (Whitey) Whitler, chunky fullback whoplayed both for Rochester and Yale as a V-12 traineein 1944, and Bob Branigan, a reserve center the same

year, another former V-12 student, also were among thecandidates. Both are back as civilian students.

MeanderingsArthur ("Buck") Whittemore and

Jack Lowe, onetime Eastman Schoolof Music piano students who won alarge following in Rochester as akeyboard double threat have hit thebig time in the radio concert and re­cording field.

"Buck" it will be remembered,coached the Men's College Glee Clubto a national championship in 1942.He and Jack subsequently went in the

avy, in which they were entertain­ment specialists, and toured overseaswith two concert grands to play be­fore hundreds of thousands of fight­ing men. In September, 1943, theyreturned to the River Campus to givea special program for the Navy V-12Unit as part of a nationally-broad­cast salute to the unit by Fred War­ing and his Pennsylvanians.

LOOK magazine in a recent issuedevoted a page to the pair and hadthis to say about them:

"Arthur Whittemore and JackLowe and their pianos have invadedtwo fields of piano music-se~ious

and popular. Their albums of dance­able music-"Doubling on the Ivo­ries" and "Two Grand" have earnedthem a bobby-sox following. Andtheir classical offerings on concerttours have brought them criticalpraise. Both Mid-Westerners, Jackand Arthur were paired by accidentwhile they were vacationing fromtheir studies at the Eastman Schoolof Music. They have continued theircareers as a team ever since. . . . .Back from the Navy in which theywere entertainment specialists, andtoured overseas with two concertgrands, Arthur and Jack share aNew York garden apartment, and acollection of bow ties. Practicingtheir separate parts in one room isa problem, but actually they arevery happy with their chosen me­dium. 'Two pianos,' they explain 'givecolor and a rhythmical intricacywhich is hard to beat.' "

Since they got out of the Navy,

18

they' are in great demand as guestartists on some top radio programs.

The University has received thou·sands of inquiries and applicationsfrom prospective students in everypart of the nation and many foreigncountries in the last year. The fol­lowing, from a young man in Curi­tiba, Brazil, was one of the mostintriguing and somehow heart warm­ing of all. It was addressed merely"To Mrs. -, University of Rochester,U.S.A."

"Gentlemen," the letter read, "Ifollow in a short time of travellingto U.S.A., to finish my studies inengineering construction, and know­ing the good name of this modelEstablishment, I ask earnestly forexplication, information, and toonecessary unformed of that course,what should be of great interest andparticular complaisance, for my or­ientation, in order to decide myproblems. From time forward I stayeternally grateful, employing to yourentire dispose, and can express mysincere thanks." -

Dr. Brian O'Brien, research pro­fessor of physics and optics whose

. experiments with high.altitudesounding balloons to measure solarradiation back in the 1930's drewworldwide attention, drew the nation­al spotlight again when the Septem.ber 14 issue of The Saturday EveningPost made him the subject of one ofits leading articles for his work inthe application of infrared invisiblelight. His research was an importantfactor in developing infrared devicesused in many secret operations bythe Army and the Navy, The Post

pointed out, "enabling our forces to

move quickly and efficien~ly in the

darkest night. Today they are modi­

fied and perfected for use in indus­

try, medicine, photography, televi­

sion and navigation."

The Post portrayed Dr. O'Brien as

a somewhat whimsical genius, des­

cribing him as "mad Irishman and

optical scientist extraordinary, whoput the finger on our late enemieswith a metascope that sees in thedark."

"Around the University of Roches­ter's Institute of Optics, it is gener·ally stated that everything happensto Prof. Brian O'Brien," the Postwent on to say. "This is an uncon­scionable distortion of the facts. Iiis O'Brien that happens to every­thing."

According to the Post, Dr. O'Brienis known the country over as "ButchO'Butch," a disclosure that came asa mild surprise to many of his col­leagues and former students at theRiver Campus. The article paid thisglowing tribute to him:

"He is considered one of the mostbrilliant men in the field of optics,an iilventive genius, a man whosework is now being reflected in someof the world's finest telescopes, bi­noculars, cameras, gog g Ies, eye-­glasses, prisms and lenses, and a pio­neer in the new applications of in­visible infrared light."

At the invitation of Dr. CharlesSeymour, President of Yale Univer­sity, President Valentine gave thetraditional Ralph Hill Thomas Me·

morial Lecture at the opening assem·blyat Yale on September 12 for the1,800 members of the freshmanclass.

Douglas F. Winnek, who in 1932was an extension student working inthe Institute of Optics under Prof.Rudolf Kingslake, was the subject of

a recent article in Newsweek tellingthe story of pis development of Tri­vision, three=dimensional photogra­phy visible without the use of specialglasses or other viewing aid.

causes which he deemed just. But hiscandor and courage never impaired hispersonal friendships, because he neverallowed a battle for principle to deterior­ate into personal animosity. He was astolerant of the opinions of others as hewas firm in sticking to his own.

afflict any friend or relative with the burden of emy estate, relatively small

though it is. A trust organization is set up for the job. It knows methodsand procedures. My family will be a lot better off-and be saved money as
