COUNCIL REPORTS GIFTSAlumni Fund Mounts

As the Cornellian Council begins itstwenty-sixth year, Archie M. Palmer '18,executive secretary, reports that duringthe six months ending December 31,1934, 1,590 alumni have contributed$24,681.58 to the Alumni Fund. Sinceits first meeting, March 5, 1909, as a4' bureau for the collection of an alumnifund for the support of the University,"the Council has served as the mediumthrough which alumni have made theircontributions to the financial support ofCornell.

Experience shows that most alumniand friends of the University make theirgifts during the late winter and springmonths, so it is to be expected not onlythat the number and amount of contribu-tions will increase shortly over the pastsix months' period, but also that therelative standing of the classes maychange with respect to amount given andto number and percentage of contributors.

For the period now reported, the Classof Ί o leads in amount contributed, with$1,488.00. The Class of 'zz is second with$1,1x8.19; ' ^ *s ^ i r d with $1,084.79;and the others of the ten highest are '2.3with $1,069.34; 'z4 with $1,046.34; '85with $1,040.00; 'zi with $1,0^7.58; '90with $990.00; 'z6 with $964.90; and '05with $905.75.

The Class of 'zz ranks well toward thetop in all three classifications, being firstin number of contributors and secondboth in amount given and in percentageof its members who have given to theFund. Because of their larger number, itis to be expected that the classes of thetwenties would lead in number of con-tributors, but Ί z appears among the firstten with 73, tied with 'Z3 for fifth place.'zz had 95 contributors; 'Z4 was secondwith 90; 'zi had 8z; 'z6 was fourth with80. Seventh place went to 'zo with 67contributors, followed by '2.5 with 57,and *Z7 and 'z8 with 53 each.

In percentage of their total livingmembership who contributed to the Fundduring the six months, the Class of '85ranks first with 6.45 percent, 'zz had 6.17percent, followed by 'zi with 6.05 per-cent, and by Ί z as the fourth on the listwith 6.03 percent of its members con-tributing. The others of the first tenclasses in this tabulation are '24 with5.9Z percent, '80 with 5.68 percent, '78with 5.56 percent, 'z6 with 5.5 percent,Ί i with 4.94 percent, and '94 with 4.87percent.

President Farrand has repeatedly de-clared that the annual gifts from alumni

through the Alumni Fund have been anindispensible part of the University'sincome, and that without this assistancethe work of the University would beseverely handicapped.

"The steady flow of annual contribu-tions to the Alumni Fund," says Palmer,

attests the unswerving loyalty of alumniand their continuing interest. The Cor-nellian Council enters upon its secondquarter-century of service with justifiablepride in the record of alumni giving atCornell and with unqualified confidencein the continued support of the alumni.''

N E W A T H L E T I C S C O M M I T T E E

The appointment of a new committee" t o consider the organization of theathletic interests of the University," asauthorized by the Board of Trustees, wasannounced January 15. It will hold itsfirst meeting in the President's office inMorrill Hall on January z6.

KATE GLEASON MEMORIALHenry D. Sharpe, Rhode Island engi-

neer and manufacturer, has presented tothe Providence Engineering Society afund in memory of Kate Gleason '88, thefirst woman who took engineering at theUniversity. Miss Gleason entered theUniversity in 1884 for a special course,remained one year, and returned forfurther work in 1888. She died in De-cember, 193Z.

The Kate Gleason Fund is a legacy of$1,000 which Sharpe had received fromMiss Gleason. The income is to be usedfor the purchase of engineering periodi-cals for the Providence society.

COSMOPOLITAN CLUBThirtieth Anniversary

Thirty years ago, on Founder's Day,• January 11, 1905, the Cornell Cosmo-

politan Club formally opened its firstquarters, rooms leased at 313 EddyStreet, near Buffalo Street. By that timethe Club, organized the previous fall, hadseventy-five members, citizens of morethan twenty countries, including theUnited States.

Now, under an amendment to theClub's constitution, women students forthe first time are admitted to activemembership and are given representa-tion on the executive committee. Thefirst woman to become a member of thecommittee is Meda E. Young '35 oίPalmyra; others will be elected in March.On December 6 the Club elected to activemembership thirteen women; on January8, eight more. It has a number of womenresidents of Ithaca, members of theFaculty, and wives of Faculty membersas associate members. The CornellWomen's Cosmopolitan Club disbandedlast year.

Soon after the University opened in1904, a group of Latin-American stu-dents, with the enthusiastic support ofModesto Quiroga, M.S.A. '05, and Pro-fessor Thomas F. Hunt, organized theClub. Its first officers were William A.Reece '04 of New Zealand, president;James N. Lorenz '05 of Ohio and KueiLing Wu '05 of China, vice-presidents;Christian R. A. Bues '06 of Germany,secretary; Fernando Aleman '07 ofBuenos Aires, assistant secretary; Fred-erick D. Colson '97 of the College of Law,treasurer; with Quiroga, Abraham A.Freedlander '05 of Buffalo, and Pro-fessors Hunt, Everett W. Olmsted '91,George P. Bristol, and Frank A. Fetteras trustees.

As pointed out in an article by Freed-lander in the Cornell Era for June, 1904,the principles of the Club had includedfrom the first not only to welcome tomembership students from foreign coun-tries, but Americans as well; and to makethis the first of an Association of Cosmo-politan Clubs, which would have chap-ters in many other universities. A NewYork newspaper, mistakenly supposingthe Club to be for foreign students only,had opposed it editorially on the groundthat foreign students should be en-couraged to mingle with the others. Suchinterchange of knowledge and ideas wasthe fundamental idea of the Club; of itshundred members at that time, abouthalf were American citizens. The Club'sinternational nights have been regularly

C O R N E L L A L U M N I N E W S

enjoyed since its founding as integralparts of Campus life.

In 1907 the Association of Cosmo-politan Clubs was organized at the firstconvention in Madison, Wis., by eightchapters, many of whom had adoptedpractically the constitution of the Cor-nell club. Manuel B. de Almeida '09 andFrank D. Mitchell '04, then a graduatestudent, were delegates from Cornell andwere active in launching the affairs of thenew Association. In December, 1909, at aconvention in Ithaca, the Associationwas affiliated with the InternationalFederation of Students, known as " CordaFratres."

By March, 1911, the present home ofthe Club at 301 Bryant Avenue waspartially occupied, contributions to thebuilding fund having been made byPresident Andrew D. White and by manyalumni, both members and nonmembers.The Club's dining room was open, andthe old rooms on Eddy Street weregiven up.

During the summer of 1933, throughthe interest of some forty Ithacans andmembers of the Faculty who were mem-bers of the Cosmopolitan Club, the Inter-national Association of Ithaca, Inc., wasformed with the purpose of increasingthe contribution of foreign students tothe social and cultural life of the com-munity. The Association took over theoperation of the Club building, whichwas redecorated and renovated, andbrought to Ithaca, as executive director,John L. Mott, a Princeton graduate andson of John R. Mott '88. Mr. Mott wasalso made assistant to the Dean of theUniversity Faculty in charge of foreignstudents, and his residence at 5 GrovePlace was made the headquarters of theAssociation.

The directors of the International As-sociation were Dean Floyd K. Richt-myer '04, chairman; William C. Andrea,treasurer; D. Boardman Lee '2.6, secre-tary; William A. Boyd, Professor DwightSanderson '98, L. Alva Tompkins, Jr.'x4, and Professor Julian L. Wood-ward 'zz.

Many members of the CosmopolitanClub have achieved prominence, amongthem Leonard K. Elmhirst 'zi, whosewife, the widow of Willard Straight '01,is the donor of Willard Straight Hall.

ON FRIDAY, January Z5, ProfessorHarold D. Smith, University Organist,gives a recital in Bailey Hall, and onSunday afternoon Willard Straight Hallpresents Gudmundur Kristjansson, Ice-landic tenor.

STUDY ICE CONEA peculiar ice-cone formation at the

foot of Taughannock Falls this winterand last has been found by ProfessorLorenC. Petry, Botany, and his daughter,Ruth '37, to be caused by certain condi-tions at the falls which are probably notduplicated elsewhere. During last winter'ssub-zero temperatures, the cone reachedan estimated height of one hundred feet,and in a recent cold spell it grew upwardfive feet in less than twenty-four hours.

The cone has a crater or bowl in itstop sometimes five feet deep, with a solidbottom that builds up with the cone. Ithas been observed that the small volumeof water coming over the falls in its 1-15-foot drop becomes practically a mistwhich freezing temperatures convert intoslush ice before it reaches the bottom.This slush ice piles up and freezes harderaround the edges of the crater, and aconstantly shifting stream flows downthe outside.

These observers have come to the con-clusion that the conditions necessary toresult in such a formation are: a straightdrop, not too much water in the stream,a height of more than one"hundred feet,and temperature fifteen degrees or below.

CORNELL DAY MAY 11To Entertain Schoolboys

The second "Cornell Day" is set forMay 11, 1935. About five hundred rep-resentative students from leading per-paratory and high schools will be enter-tained for a week-end on the Campus.

The alumni committee on relationswith secondary schools, of which Wil-liam J. Thorne Ί i of Syracuse is chair-man, will be responsible for bringing thestudents to the Campus. Their entertain-ment here will be sponsored by the seniorsocieties, Quill and Dagger and SphinxHead, with the cooperation of Scarab andother honorary societies, and Ray S.Ashbery '15, alumni field secretary, willserve as general chairman coordinatingthe activities of these two committees.

Registration of the guests will begin onFriday evening, May 10, and the boyswill be housed and entertained at thevarious fraternity houses. The finalschedule for Saturday has not yet beenarranged, but the visitors will be guestsof the Athletic Association that after-noon at a league baseball game withPrinceton on Hoy Field.

Last year six hundred guests came tothe Campus on May 12.. A crowdedschedule, which included lectures, toursof the Campus, smokers, a track meet, arally in Bailey Hall, and a dance in theDrill Hall, gave the visitors an experiencewhich elicited many enthusiastic letters.

Of the six hundred who came, 2.10 wereseniors in preparatory and high schoolsand were eligible to apply for admissionto the University. Of these eligibles, 108,more than half, are now registered in thefreshman class.

DESCRIBE NEW COURSESThe first two courses in regional plan-

ning to be given by Professor Gilmore D.Clarke '13, as announced in the ALUMNINEWS of November ix and November 2.9,are described in an announcement fromthe College of Architecture. Beginningwith the second term, which opensFebruary 11, the College announces:

"Course 710. Principles of RegionalPlanning. Throughout the year. Credittwo hours each term. Registration limitedto 50. Open to graduates and upperclass-men in all colleges of the University.A general view of the history and prac-tice of large scale planning. Lectures,assigned reading and examinations. Oc-casional lectures will be given by membersof other faculties and by outside lecturersselected because of their special experi-ence and skill in certain phases ofplanning."

"Course 711. Seminar in RegionalPlanning. Throughout the year. Creditone hour each term. Investigation ofassigned topics on particular aspects ofthe subject with emphasis on regionalplanning. Registration limited. Open tostudents in all colleges of the University

by permission. This course should accom-pany Course 710."

Two subsequent courses of morelimited scope will first be offered in 1935-36. Both are of two hours credit each. Theone to be offered in the first term of nextyear is described as a Seminar in ParkPlanning and the other, to be given in thesecond term, is a Seminar in Parkway,Freeway, and Highway Planning. Bothare to be given by Professor Clarke.

TORONTO HEARS DURHAMProfessor Charles L. Durham '99 was

the speaker at a meeting of the CornellClub of Toronto on December 17. Themembers of the Club, together with somerepresentatives of schools in Torontoand vicinity, met for luncheon at Simp-son's Arcadian Court. William Rae '89,president of the Club, presided.

COLLEGE NEWS APPEARSA new publication on the Campus this

year is College News, an eight-page semi-monthly newspaper delivered free tostudents. The editor is Frank Albanese'35 of Newfield; the publisher, the RuralNews of Dryden. College News carriesnews of the University, editorials, fea-tures, fiction, and a goodly amount ofadvertising of the merchants of College-town, which is the territory near theCampus end of Eddy Street and CollegeAvenue.

CORNELLIANS SAVE BILOXIThe shrimp and oyster industry of

Biloxi, Miss, is saved, and harmonyreigns again among the fisherman andthe canners of this river town whoseleading industry was threatened whenlabor difficulties promised to result in thewithdrawal of government inspectionand so destroy the market for its principalproduct.

That peace has settled in Biloxi is duelargely to the efforts of Lester A. Blumner'30, publisher of The Daily Biloxian,and at least partially, so it is said, to thediscovery by Blumner and Dr. HerbertB. Switzer Ί i of the Federal Food andDrugs Administration that both wereCornellians. The final conference, atwhich Dr. Switzer and John R. Steelman,commissioner of conciliation of theFederal Department of Labor, broughtharmony between the canners and thefishermen, was held in the Biloxian office.

"We'll never underestimate collegeconnections and friendships again," saysNorman L. Matson, columnist of thenewspaper. Dr. Switzer and the pub-lisher of The Daily Biloxian learned byaccident that they were both graduatesof Cornell University. As small as itseems, that little fact helped negotiationsin settling the shrimp inspection problemtremendously. The two men spent al-most as much time discussing the 'BigRed Team,' the old Dutch Kitchen, and

C O R N E L L A L U M N I N E W S

Zinck's, as they did the problems facingthe sea foods industry."

Blumner was one of those who per-petrated the "Hugo N. Frye" hoax in1930; the other was Edward T. Horn '31,now pastor of the Lutheran Church inIthaca. It will be recalled that Blumner,then retiring editor of the Sun's BerryPatch, and Horn, the incoming editor,sent out invitations to a dinner to honorthis sturdy patriot who, they said, was afounder of the Republican party in NewYork State and the originator of theslogans, "Protection for our prosperity"and "Freedom in the land of the free."They received many letters of congratu-lation from those in high places, includ-ing the Vice-President of the UnitedStates, which were read at the annualBerry Patch dinner. The hoax receivedwide notice in the newspapers and wasdiscussed on the floor of the Senate. Theidea was born, according to Horn, whenProfessor Martin Sampson mentioned asimilar hoax perpetrated by a Frenchnewspaper on the Chamber of Deputies.

STATE BOARD REPORTSThe first formal report of the State

Planning Board, submitted at AlbanyJanuary 14 and signed by Provost AlbertR. Mann '04, chairman, recommends thegradual purchase by the State of sixmillion acres of unproductive farm landand its addition to the State-owneddomain, be used for public recreation,lumbering, watershed protection, andother "economic and social uses."

The report is based on the first compre-hensive survey of the land areas of theState ever to be made. According toProvost Mann, that survey revealed thatsomething like one-sixth of the land areain its present condition is a liabilityrather than an asset. Yet potentially it isa great resource, the value of which willbe shared by all the people when the landis put to the economic and social uses forwhich it is naturally suited and which thepeople can enjoy. The abandonment offarms in certain sections, too largely at-tributed to the lure of the city for theyounger men, became significant at leastfifty years ago, and it has been progress-ing at the average rate of 100,000 acres ayear ever since for the excellent reasonthat the land, after the timber had beenremoved, would not support a farm popu-lation and was not adapted to modernagricultural methods.

EUGENE EN-JUNG FAN of Tungsien,Hopei, China, now a graduate student atthe University, is the originator of theonly privately owned radio broadcastingstation in China. While teaching schoolnear his home he conceived the idea ofbroadcasting agricultural information toChinese farmers, and from his home-madetransmitting set has grown the presentstation, which broadcasts regularly threetimes a week.

CLEVELAND CLUBI. T. Frary, membership and publicity

secretary of the Cleveland Museum ofArt, gave an illustrated talk on ' ' ThomasJefferson—Architect and Builder," at theregular meeting of the Cornell Club ofCleveland January 17.

Smith, Jr. '37 ofStamford, Conn, are promoting thenew organization.

SIGMA XI PAPERSProfessor Henry B. Ward, formerly

national secretary of Sigma Xi, is com-piling the early publications of thesociety, with the promise that if sixcomplete sets can be obtained, one willbe placed in the University Library.Sigma Xi was founded at Cornell in thefall of 1887, through the efforts of FrankVan Vleck, then assistant to the directorof Sibley College and instructor in chargeof the mechanical laboratory, and Wil-liam A.

ALUMNI UNIVERSITYCommittee Invites OpinionsThe Faculty committee on the pro-

posed alumni university has tentativelysuggested a program for next June, andnow invites communications from alumnibefore making final decision and recom-mendation.

The October convention of the CornellAlumni Corporation unanimously recom-mended that the establishment of analumni university next June be givenconsideration. The committee has beenstudying the successful alumni collegesand alumni universities of other institu-tions, and believes that Cornellians alsomay wish to re-establish connection withthe intellectual life of the University andto live on the Campus again as studentsfor a few days.

As tentatively arranged, the programfor Cornell's first alumni university wouldcall for probably four days of classes inthe week following reunions and Com-mencement. Reunions are scheduled forFriday to Sunday, June 14 to 16. Com-mencement is on Monday, June 17. It isproposed to open the alumni universityon Tuesday, June 18, continuing throughFriday, June 2.1.

Cornell men and women, with theirfamilies, would be invited to enroll asstudents for those four days, living in theUniversity dormitories, dining together,probably in Willard Straight Hall, at-tending lectures and discussions led bymembers of the Faculty. The generalsubject of the week would be the con-sideration of current social, political,and governmental questions. Afternoonsand evenings would give opportunity forsport and recreation, including musicalprograms and exhibits in some of theUniversity buildings. The fee for the fourdays, including tuition, board, and room,would not exceed twenty-five dollars.

Before making definite recommenda-tions, the committee invites alumni towrite their opinions, indicating whetherthey would be inclined to enroll in sucha course and whether they favor itsestablishment even though attendancethis year may be uncertain.

If an alumni university is to be in-augurated on the Campus this June, plansmust be made within the next few weeks.The committee asks, therefore, thatalumni write their expressions as promptlyas possible to Foster M. Coffin Ί x ,secretary of the Cornell Alumni Corpora-tion, Willard Straight Hall.

SAGE CHAPEL PREACHER January 2.7is Rev. Justin W. Nixon, D.D., pastor ofthe Brick Presbyterian Church, Rochester.

ONE OF THE MASTERPIECES of HughTroy, Jr. 'x6 in the Dutch depicts an old-fashioned swinging door, inside of whichis a man succumbing to the wiles of asiren in red, while outside stands a weep-

ing woman with a little boy tugging ather skirt and pointing at the man inside.Two co-eds, says Cecil R. Rosenberry '2.5in the Ithaca Journal, stopped in frontof the mural one day recently, to try todecide why the lady weeps. " I know,"said one, " i t ' s because they won't lether in." " N o , " said the other, "she iscrying because they won't let the littleboy in."

ON PHYSICS COMMITTEEFour Cornellians have been named to

the committee on physics of the Societyfor the Promotion of Engineering Educa-tion. Professor Guy E. Grantham, PhD'2.0, of the Physics Department is chair-man of the committee. The other Cor-nellian members are Professors Charles C.Bid well, PhD '14, of Lehigh; PercyHodge, PhD '08, of Stevens Institute; andLouis B. Spinney of Iowa State College,who was a student in the GraduateSchool in '93-4, '97-8, and '99-Ό0.

MY NIGHT IN NEW YORKOf last week I spent Thursday, Friday

and Saturday in New York. I had ex-pected to be fully engaged all the timeand had made no arrangements for sparetime or frivolity. Consequently I wastaken aback when a Saturday afternoonsession on Fifty-ninth Street which wasexpected to continue until train timebroke up at 7 o'clock in the evening.

Saturday night at New York in Christ-mas week and nothing to do between 7and 11:30! Everybody one knew wouldbe dated up or away and there isn'tmuch percentage in crashing a party onlyto leave before 11. Ordinarily I wouldhave walked, I think, along the backstreets observing life and waiting formild adventure. But only the night be-fore a large, powerful and ominous foot-ball coach of my acquaintance hadstepped out oί the hotel to walk aroundthe block for a breath of fresh air andbefore he reached the corner he had themuzzle of an automatic stuck in his ribsand was relieved of his money ($2.9.60),his watch and his Elks' pin.

So I stuck to Broadway and the brightlights. At Madison Square Garden Ithought for a moment of attending theNotre Dame-New York Universitybasketball game but a||:er looking at thesportsmen who thronged the entrance Ibecame afraid I would catch leprosy, orbarber's itch or something if any one ofthem so much as touched me. So I keptwalking rapidly while withdrawing thehem of my garments the while in defer-ence to the germ theory.

This or that first attracted and then, onsober second thought, repelled. And sofinally—not to waste entirely my onefree night in New York—I stepped intoone of the lesser cinemas and saw Babesin Toyland. It's an awfully nice movieand I've always loved that Victor Her-

FIRST UNIVERSITY PRIZEJohn A. Rea of Tacoma, Wash., now

the only surviving member of the Classof '69, writes to supplement our state-ment of December 6 that the WoodfordPrize was the first prize to be offered atthe University. «

"The first," he says, "was Andrew D.White's, in June, 1869, of two prizes,forty dollars and twenty dollars, for thebest answers to fifty-two questions (wecalled them questions) given out by Mr.White, [based on?] Guizot's History ofCivilization, [for?] junior and seniorclasses, '69 and '70.

"Behringer and Rhodes '69 tied, eachgetting twenty dollars. John A. Rea, the'kid,' second prize, a twenty-dollar goldpiece. Forgot to keep it."

Our reference to the Woodford Prizemeant, of course, although not so stated,that it was the first endowed, and so con-tinuing, prize to be given at the Univer-sity.

Mr. Rea who was a co-founder of PhiKappa Psi, was recently the medium fora compliment to the University fromPresident Ernest O. Holland of Wash-ington State College. President Hollandwrote:

"John A. Rea, a graduate of CornellUniversity, is able to appreciate the workof this institution because he saw thebeginnings (1868-69) of one of the greatland grant institutions of America, and Imight add, one of the great institutionsof the civilized world.''

Charles F. Hendryx, who was Rae'slast living classmate, died on January 15.We shall print next week a brief sketchof his life.

PRESIDENT FARRAND and Dr. Wil-liam C. Senning, PhD '31, of the GeologyDepartment have been initiated as hon-orary members into Skulls, pre-medicinesociety. Other new members are EverettC. Bragg '36 of White Plains, William O.Henderson '36 of Louisville, Ky., Wil-liam W. Manson ' 3 6 of East Orange, N. J.,Herbert E. Sandresky '35 of Buffalo,Addison B. Scoville, Jr. '36 of Mt. Ver-non, Paul R. Wood '36 of Jenkintown,Pa., and Harold S. Wright '36 of Nor-wood.

THE '94 MEMORIAL PRIZE debate isscheduled for March 12.. The best junioror senior speaker on either side of theproposition: "The manufacture and saleor arms and munitions should be made aGovernment monopoly,'' will receive theaward of ninety-four dollars establishedby the Class of '94.

INTEREST IN MUSIC INCREASESDepartment Has Wide Influence on Campus

That the University has built up dur-ing the past five years one of the mostcomplete libraries of phonograph andpiano recordings in the country and thatlast year students made use of thislibrary almost ten thousand times is re-vealed in the annual report of ProfessorPaul J. Weaver, head of the Departmentof Music. The Department has ten sound-proof listening and practicing rooms inits building at 30a Wake Avenue, form-erly occupied by Scorpion and remodelledby the University for the temporary useof the Department of Music. That theserooms are constantly used, not only bystudents registered in the Department butby many others for their enjoyment, isonly one indication of the widespreadinterest in music which now prevails onthe Campus.

Others are the successful performancesof the two Gilbert and Sullivan operas,The Mikado and Pinafore, directed byProfessor Weaver with the cooperationof the Glee Clubs, the University Or-chestra, and the University Theatre; andthe festival performance last May underProfessor Weaver's direction of Mendel-ssohn's Elijah with a chorus of fourhundred voices, the New York SymphonyOrchestra, Richard Bonelli, Doris Doe,Dan Gridley, and Emily Roosevelt. TheDepartment sponsors also the series ofFaculty recitals which fill the largestconcert hall on the Campus, the weeklyorgan recitals of Professor Harold D.Smith , Universi tyorganist, and two seriesof University concertsby world-famous artists,all of which are largelyattended. This is to saynothing of the studentchoir of 105 voicessponsored by the Uni-versity, the student sym-phony orchestra of 75pieces, student bands witha registration of 1x5players, and the presentpopularity of the Men'sand Women's Glee Clubsand the InstrumentalClubs.

This increase of interestin music parallels a signi-ficant expansion in thecurriculum of the MusicDepartment during thepast five years. Startingwith a small registrationin 192.9, with only twotheoretical offerings inharmony and counter-point, the Departmentnow offers seventeen

covering the

and historical work and has a regis-tration of approximately 185 students.

Five years ago the staff of the Depart-ment consisted of one assistant professor.At that time Paul J. Weaver, who hadfor ten years been head of the depart-ment of music at the University of NorthCarolina, was called to the professorshipof music and the headship of the Depart-ment. Now the staff contains two fullprofessors, three assistant professors, oneinstructor, and several graduate as-sistants. A major in music for the Artsdegree was established two years ago;graduate students are accepted for theMaster of Arts, the Master of Fine Arts,and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees.

Graduate work is guided largely byProfessor Otto Kinkeldey, Universitylibrarian and eminent musicologist,whose chair of musicology was estab-lished in 1930, the first in the UnitedStates. Gilbert Ross, violinist, Harold D.Smith, organist, and Andrew C. Haigh,pianist, are assistant professors; andGeorge L. Coleman '95 is instructor.

GARGOYLE, the architects' honorsociety, has elected seven members of thefourth-year class: Arnliot R. Brauner ofIthaca, Malt by S. Fowler, Jr. of NewHaven, Conn., Donald W. McNulty ofRutherford, N. J., Elmer J. Manson ofMassena, Charles J. Meyer of Bayshore,Serge P. Petroff of Montclair, N. J., andJohn Sullivan, Jr. of Ithaca.

BETTER TIMES AHEADThe report of the Cornellian Council on

the class funds should be cheering to thefriends of the University who realize thevalue of these annual gifts.

Under the late Harold Flack Ί z theAlumni Fund showed remarkable growth.Before his illness and subsequent death,Cornell's Alumni Fund was the mostproductive fund, in number of subscribersand in total subscriptions for unrestricteduses, of the eighty or ninety similarenterprises in all the colleges and uni-versities of the country.

Then came depression, disaster, anddeath. A period of several years ensuedwhen the excellent work of the office andpart-time and volunteer workers enabledthe Fund to continue with exceptionallygood results, under the momentum it hadacquired in happier times.

Comes now a reorganization, a newsecretary of the Council, Archie M.Palmer Ί 8 , and a ray of hope for generalemergence from the depression. The firstreport of the new regime gives reason forbelief that the alumni of Cornell will soonbe providing again an adequate back logthat will enable the University to ad-vance rather than simply mark time.

Because of their news interest to ourreaders and their real importance to theUniversity, the ALUMNI NEWS will pub-lish in succeeding issues from time totime, reports on the contributions bymembers of the various classes throughthe Cornellian Council.

CORNELL DAY—YOUR MOVEIt matters little what phase of the

qualifications of the entering class causesconcern to a given alumnus of any collegein the country; he will find many othershave similar worries. Whether it be lackof material for athletics, for fraternities,for music, dramatics, publications, andwhat-not, or the danger that scholarlystandards must be lowered for the benefitof the less competent, there is generalalarm manifest that colleges and univer-sities are slipping. These alarms, bothgeneral and specific, are shared by Cor-

nellians with the alumni of other in-stitutions.

Although not a panacea, Cornell Day,announced this week for its second an-nual appearance, is potentially a cure formany of the evils that seem to threaten.The thoroughness with which it will pro-duce results depends largely upon theenthusiasm with which alumni, both asindividuals and as members of organiza-tions, enter into the project.

Undergraduate organizations are pre-paring to stage a rushing party thatshould cause each guest to understandbetter and to think more highly of Cor-nell. Many of the guests will eventuallymatriculate. The quality of future Cor-nellians will be modified by the influx ofthese selected persons to the extent towhich the alumni do their part.

The part in the program for the alumniis that of arranging that the subfrosh arebrought to Cornell on that day. Curi-ously, the less satisfied an alumnus is, thebetter opportunity this event offers him,if he has any real fight in him.

While alumni of all colleges are' ' view-ing with alarm" it is Cornell's good for-tune to have something to offer a visitorwhich should make a greater appeal thancan almost any other campus in thecountry.

The undergraduates are ready to dotheir part. They have, in fact, startedalready. Quaintly, they wonder if thealumni can do theirs. They believe they canentertain as many guests as the alumnican send. The next move is alumnal.

SPRING DAY MAY 18Saturday, May 18, has been designated

as Spring Day and declared a Universityholiday by the Faculty committee onstudent activities. On that day theCarnegie Cup regatta will be held onCayuga Lake with Princeton and Yale,and the baseball team will play Yale onHoy Field.

JOB OUTLOOK BRIGHTERHerbert H. Williams '2.5, director of

the University Placement Bureau, isquoted as predicting a definite upturn inemployment prospects for next June'sgraduates.

"Present indications are that there willbe more jobs available for 1935 graduatesof Cornell than for any class graduatingsince 1930. Ever since the middle ofNovember we have had an increasingnumber of requests for well qualifiedapplicants for jobs from a wide variety ofbusiness and technical organizations. Allgraduates of our hotel course are nowemployed and there is actually a shortageof men available for jobs. All our recentlaw school graduates have jobs. Overeighty percent of our engineers graduat-ing last year are employed or are workingfor advanced degrees."

JANUARY I935

BRIEF NEWS OF CAMPUS AND TOWNBLOCK WEEK started Monday. Forthose who do not know, this is the sevendays just preceding term examinationswhen regular classes of the College ofArts and Sciences are suspended, pre-sumably to give its students time to pre-pare. So far as we can learn, the ArtsCollege is the only one thus to accommo-date its students; the Sun comes editor-ially to the conclusion that the arrange-ment should be extended to engineers,architects, and all others of the under-graduate body. "The existing seven-dayrespite," says the Sun, "does no one anyharm, and in nine cases out of ten is awelcome period whether it be used inmaking up work not done, in last-min-ute cramming, or whether it is enjoyedwith an attitude of calm preparedness."

CONFIRMING the general opinion,comes now John C. Fisher, Governmentmeteorologist in charge of the WeatherBureau station in Ithaca, to say that fromofficial records of thirty-five years thesun shines in Ithaca less than half thedaylight hours, and that rain falls, onthe average, 157 days of the 365.

ELISABETH SCHUMANN, Vienneselyric soprano and Lieder singer, appearedin Bailey Hall January 15 in the series ofUniversity concerts. She was warmlyapplauded by the audience. The nextmusical event on the Campus is the sec-ond of the chamber music series in theUniversity Theatre in Willard StraightHall January 2.4. The Kroll Sextet is thefirst such group to appear in Ithaca.

FOUR SPEAKERS discussed war in aprogram arranged jointly by the CornellCouncil Against War, the Liberal Club,the National Students' League, and theStudent League for Industrial Democracyin Willard Straight Hall January ,2.2..

Lurie '36 of Brooklyn, andJacob Shulman '35 of Rochester.

NURSERYMEN of the Eastern Statesare meeting at the College of AgricultureJanuary 2.3 and Z4 to consider the businessand professional problems of their in-dustry. This is the fifth annual conferenceto be held here on the growing and mar-keting of ornamental plants.

LECTURES for the week include CarlSnyder, statistician of the Federal Re-serve Bank of New York, on "TheStrange Career and Fantasy-Life of SirIsaac Newton," January 2.1; Dr. WendellC. Bennett, assistant curator of the Am-erican Museum of Natural History, on

"The Prehistoric Civilizations of theAndes," illustrated, January 2.x; an illus-trated talk before the Deutscher Vereinby Dr. Ernest A. Kubler January Z3; anillustrated lecture by L. M.

Ullman, Inc.on' * Marketing Methods and Technique,illustrated, January 2.5.

SKI CLUB members held a four-milecross country race with a team of Dart-mouth graduates in the University on thehills near Cortland as a try-out to selectthose who will represent the Universityat Dartmouth's winter carnival in Feb-ruary. First three places were taken bythe sponsors.

ITHACA BANK elections for the newyear brought the names of many Cornel-lians into the news. James R. Robinson '09was elected to a new office, that of chair-man of the board of directors of the FirstNational Bank. Two of three new direc-tors elected are Charles H. Newman '13and Professor Harold L. Reed, PhD '14,of the Department of Economics. Officersand directors re-elected include EbenezerT. Turner '83, vice-president, ProvostAlbert R. Mann '04, Howard Cobb '96,Jared T. Newman '75, and Laurence C.Rumsey Ί i . Re-elected officers and direc-tors of the Tompkins County NationalBank include Robert H. Treman '78,chairman of the board, Charles D. Bost-wick '9Z, vice-president, Mynderse VanCleef '74, Charles H. Blood '88, RobertE. Treman '09, Leon D. Rothschild '09,George F. Rogalsky '07, and Harry G.Stutz '07.

ALL OFFICERS of the Ithaca TrustCompany have been re-elected. Cornel-lians among them are Robert H. Treman'78, president; Sherman Peer '06, vice-president and secretary; Paul BradfordΊ 8 , cashier.

Whiton '79, and Charles E.Treman, Jr. '30.

LEFT HANDED one-arm chairs for Uni-versity classrooms are suggested by theCornellian father of a southpaw studentnote-taker. Ray Ashbery '2.5 says feel-ingly that the complaint is well founded,but that the difficulty has sometimes beensolved by arranging with the professorfor a seat to be kept vacant on the left.A better suggestion, he thinks, would beto set aside one row of chairs in eachclassroom with their arms transposed.

CORNELLIANS have always, of course,had a prominent part in the Ithaca cityadministration. New Year appointmentsfor 1935 include Conant Van Blarcom '08,University superintendent of grounds andbuildings, to the board of public worksand Dr. Phillip C.

GEORGIA'S DOG on College Avenuewas a familiar place to many generationsof Cornellians. Now it is transformed tothe very modern and shining Gillette'sCafeteria, run by Carl Gillette, HotelManagement '2.8. The name, however,survived until recently in Georgia'sRestaurant at 409 Eddy Street. The pres-ent restaurateur, John J. Sullivan 'z6,held a contest for a new name, whichturned out to be Eddy gate.

LOSE TWICE AT BASKETBALLThe basketball team continued to show

improvement in Syracuse on January 16,but lost to the Orange 35-50. This wasthe fifteenth straight victory for Syracuse.

For the first fifteen minutes the Varsityfought the Syracusans on even terms, butan Orange rally in the closing minutes ofthe first half broke a 13-13 tie andbrought the score to 11-14 f° r Syracuse athalf time. Improved defensive work bythe Redmen accounted for holding theOrange at the start, but the largerSyracuse team soon drew ahead and heldits lead to the end.

Play was fast and hard, with threeSyracusans, AlkofF, Sanford, and DeYoung leading the scoring with 18, i i ,and 11 points, respectively. Wilson ledthe Red team with 10 points, all from theField, and Freed made 9.

The second league contest of the seasonwas lost to Harvard at Cambridge onJanuary 19, the Crimson winning 2.3-17.This was the first league game Harvardhad won, losing all twelve last seasonand one to Princeton and two to Penn-sylvania this year.

Saturday's contest was close and hardfought but did not show either team asparticularly fast. The,Varsity dominatedthroughout the first half, although notleading the scoring until near the end ofthe period, when it was 11-9. Harvardregained the lead in the second for a time,until Captain Foote brought the score toa tie with a difficult shot from the side.

Until the final two minutes the leadswung from one to other, but a foul shotby Kollinites put the Crimson ahead byone point and brought on a frenziedVarsity effort to regain the lead. In theconfusion, the Crimson captain, Boys,made two goals to put the game away.Only seven fouls were called, six byCornell. Wilson at forward starred, mak-ing 7 tallies for the Red; Freed was soclosely guarded that he made but onebasket; and Captain Foote made three.

FRESHMEN WIN TWOThe freshman basketball team, coached

by Donald F. Layton 'Z9, won the firsttwo games on its current schedule. In apreliminary to the Varsity-Syracusebattle in Syracuse January 16, the year-lings beat the Orange cubs 2.5-2.4, leadingfrom the first. On Saturday in the DrillHall they beat Dickenson Seminary 34-2.4in a ragged game in which Coach Laytonused two complete teams.

Few of the freshman squad this yearhave had much experience in basketball,but they appear nevertheless to showconsiderable promise. The remainder oftheir schedule includes Cook Academyat Mont our Falls February 13, Manliusat Manlius February 16, Cook Academyat Ithaca February 2.0, Colgate Freshmenat Ithaca February 2.3, and CortlandNormal at Cortland March 2..

TRACK TEAM PROMISINGThe winter track season opens Febru-

ary Z3 with Yale in the Drill Hall. Thiswill be the eleventh annual meet betweenthe two since the inception of the seriesin 192.4; that in 1933 was cancelled be-cause of the bank moratorium. Lastyear's meet was won for the Varsity bythe unexpected winning of the first twoplaces in the shot put. Cornell has wonseven of the ten, but the scores havenever been more than ix points apart; thetotals for all ten only 43}^ pointsdifferent.

The thirty-fifth track team to becoached by John F. Moakley bids fair at

least to repeat the 1934 record of no de-feats in triangular or dual meets. No lessthan twenty-two of last year's team areback, of whom seven took the trip toEngland last July.

Captain Walter S. Merwin '35 ofBuffalo, intercollegiate indoor hurdleschampion, leads the Varsity's strongestdepartment, with Frank J. Irving '35,football end, as his perennial partner.One of the two has placed first or secondin every meet since 1933, and they weremembers of the shuttle-hurdle relay teamwhich set a new record at the Pennsyl-vania Relay Carnival last April. Thesetwo will be ably backed in the lowhurdles by James H. Hucker '37 ofBuffalo, who last summer in England asa freshman placed second only to thegreat Stan wood, double winner for Cam-bridge; and by John L. Messersmith '36of Westfield, N. J. Rounding out thegroup of hurdlers is the diminutiveCharles Y. NefT '37 of Buffalo.

Leading the sprinters is Robert E.Linders '36, another veteran of theEnglish trip and understudy to CaptainHardy of the 1934 team; with NormanM. Rosenberg '37 of Canisteo in theshorter events. Hucker and Robert A.Scallan '36 of Terrace Park, O. are leadingin the longer sprints and the quarter-mile,together with Addison M. White '35 ofNew Hartford and Robert B. Schnur '35of Evanston, 111.

Bruce D. Kerr '35 of Ithaca, cross-country captain, will run the mile thisyear, and Ellison H. Taylor '35 ofSpringfield, Mass, the two-mile. Kerrwon in all the dual events last yearand Taylor led the varsity harriers in thecross-country intercollegiates last No-vember. William S. Hutchings '35 ofIthaca and White will handle the half-mile; and John Meaden '37 of LaGrange,111., freshman team captain last year, isa consistent performer in the 880 andmile. Edmund V. Mezzitt '37, of Weston,Mass., William V. Bassett '37 of WestNewton, Mass., John H. Chapin '35 ofMontreal, and John H. Peck '36 ofMorris town, N. J., 1935 cross countrycaptain, are all capable runners in thelonger distances.

Charles R. Scott, Jr. '36 of Montclair,N. J., winner in England last July andchampion of Scotland with a mark of 6feet 2. inches, seems certain to lead thehigh jumpers, but will be closely pressedby Grandin A. Godley '36 of Tenafly,N. J. These two will be reinforced byLlewellyn W. Collings, Jr. '36 of SouthOrange, N. J., Edward G. Ratkoski '35of Dunkirk, and Herbert E. Sandresky'35 of Buffalo.

The broad jump will be in the hands ofveterans Henry S. Godshall, Jr. '36 ofLansdowne, Pa., another international-ist, and of Henry S. Berkowitz '35 ofBrooklyn, and Ratkoski.

In the weight throws, Robert A. Reed'35 of Dunkirk is closely pressed by John

Wood, Jr. '36 ofSummit, N. J., William C. McLaughlin'36 of Poughkeepsie, and Donald T.Houpt '36 of Ambler, Pa. are contendersin the shot-put.

Robert B. McNab '36 of Missoula,Mont, and Fred C. Sorenson '35 of Platts-burgh have a pole vault mark of 12. ίeet6 inches; they are paced by Robert D.Price '36 of Willoughby, O. and Philip F.Stevens '37 of Larchmont. *

Following the meet with Yale Febru-ary i3, the winter track schedule includesthe indoor intercollegiates in New YorkCity March 2., a triangular meet withHarvard and Dartmouth at Boston,Mass., March 9, and one with Syracuseand Colgate at Ithaca March 13.

On May 11 at Palmer Stadium atPrinceton, N. J. the team will participatein a new Eastern intercollegiate meet,with those of Columbia, Dartmouth,Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton, andYale. Each university will be limited totwo contestants in each event, so thatthere will be but one trial and no semi-finals. All preliminaries except heats inthe 400-meter relay will be run off in themorning, and the finals within a two-hour period. Five places will be scored,6-4-3-2.-1, putting a premium on firstplace. Running events will be 100-meter,800-meter, 1500-meter, and 3000-meterraces, 400-meter and 1600-meter relays,and 100-meter high hurdles and 2.00-meter low hurdles. Field events are to bethe broad and high jumps, pole vault,shot put, discus, hammer, and javelin.

Plans have been made only for 1935,but it is predicted that this meet may be-come an annual event, rotating amongPrinceton, Yale, Harvard, and Penn-sylvania.

tice, the hockey team showed good formSaturday night in the Syracuse Coliseumagainst Colgate, but lost, 4-2..
