GEORGE W. DUNN PHILADELPHIA,PA. 

How did I make the transition from a Teachers' College to 

the life insurance business? Here is about how it happened. 

I waved a fond farewell to Moorhead State Teachers' College, 

Minnesota, in the spring of 1941, and settled down to do some 

serious thinking concerning my future. Uncle Sam.supplied some 

of the answers in September of that year, and for the next five 

years the Army Air Corps was my boss, and my address was a 

succession of Army Air Bases and A.P.O. numbers, which stretched 

from Colorado to Scotland, England, Africa, Italy and Corsica. 

For two of these years it was my good fortune to be associated 

with a brother officer, M Cap fl Haines, in civilian life a 

partner in New England Mutual's Philadelphia General Agency, 

Moore and Haines. He, my wife—a U. S. Army nurse, whom I 

married in Africa—and I spent long hours discussing life insurance 

and its possibilities as a career for me. It offered all of 

the things that I had ever hoped for in business: independence, 

unlimited income possibilities and, most of all, a never-ending 

challenge to my ability in a field where limits do not exist, 

excepting as I alone set them. 

Before I had finished my terminal leave, I was studying for 

my Pennsylvania State Insurance examination, and was making field 

trips with my friend from overseas. 

Now, after two years, I am more convinced than ever that 

there is no better future than that which the New England Mutual 

offers. To prove my point, I have the support of my 97 policyholders, 

and the one million dollars of new life insurance which 

I have placed on their lives. 

GRADUATES of our Home Office training courses, 

practically all of them new to the life insurance 

business, are selling at a rate which produces average 

first-year incomes of $3600. The total yearly 

income on such sales, with renewal commissions 

added, will average $5700. 

Facts such as these helped George Dunn solve 

his career problem. If you'd like to know more, 

write Mr. H. C. Chancy, Director of Agencies, 

New England Mutual Life Insurance Company, 

501 Boylston Street, Boston 17, Massachusetts.

Record Number of Alumni Children 

Enter University This Year 

TV/TORE children and grandchildren 

-LVA of Cornellians started in the 

University this year than ever before, 

according to the annual tabulation 

compiled by the Alumni Office. Information 

given by new students who 

entered Cornell last spring and this 

fall indicate that 378 of them have 

alumni parents or grandparents. This 

is about 13 per cent of the 2872 new 

students in 1948, not including the 

Medical College in New York for 

which information is not available. 

Largest number of Cornell children 

previously admitted was 344 in the 

three terms of 1946. 

Thirty of Third Generation 

Thirty new students reported 

alumni parents and grandparents, as 

compared with eighteen in 1947. 

Cornell lineage of this year's thirdgeneration 

matriculants is traced in 

the "box" on this page. 

In addition to these thirty of uninterrupted 

Cornell lineage, fourteen 

new students reported alumni grandparents. 

They are Edward F. Barnett, 

Grad, whose grandmother was the 

late Effie Scott Franklin, Grad '95-6; 

John H. Trueman, Grad, grandson of 

the late John M. Trueman '95; 

Edward W. D. Stevens, '51 Law, 

grandson of the late Frederick C. 

Stevens '79; and these Freshman 

grandchildren: Flavio deA. Prado, 

the late Benta deA. Prado '76; 

Edward A. Gadsby, the late Herbert 

H. Gadsby '86; George H. Mclntire, 

George E. Howard '93; Robert A. 

Moyer, Jr., Robert S. Lamb '94; 

Albert J. Hoyt, Harry J. Lipes '96; 

Kirkwood E. Personius, the late Ely 

W. Personius '98; Gustav Pabst, 

Joseph Uihlein '01; John S. Tiffany, 

John B. Tiffany '01; Albert S. Trefts, 

John C. Trefts '02; Catherine 0. 

Yeager, Arthur M. Seaman '03; and 

Nancy J. Montgomery, granddaughter 

of Maurice L. Warner '06. 

Four grandchildren of the late 

Dr. Jacob Gould Schurman, third 

President of the University, are now 

students at Cornell. They are George 

M. McHugh '50, son of Mrs. James 

M. McHugh (Dorothy Schurman); 

Lydia Schurman '50 and Mary A. 

Schurman '51, daughters of Judge 

Jacob Gould Schurman, Jr. '17, 

Alumni Trustee of the University and 

Peter T. Schurman '52, Freshman 

son of George M. Schurman '13. A 

fifth grandchild, Malcolm Magruder 

'50, son of Mrs. John Magruder 

(Helen Schurman), is studying in 

France this year, on leave of absence 

from the University. 

Besides these direct forbears and 

the parents listed below, many brothers 

and sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, 

and other Cornell relatives were 

noted. 

The listings are made from in- 

formation asked of all students who 

enter the University for the first 

time. Some always fail to name their 

Cornell relatives, so these annual 

listings of new students are frequently 

incomplete. Additions and corrections 

are earnestly requested, to complete 

the records. They may be sent 

directly to CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS, 

18 East Avenue, Ithaca. 

In the lists which follow, students 

came as Freshmen unless otherwise 

designated by Class numerals. Asterisks 

(*) denote alumni who are 

deceased, and step-parents are indicated 

by daggers (f).

families listed below (mothers by

For Placing Teachers 

OORNELLIANS who are inter- 

^^ ested in teaching careers are 

offered the free services of the University 

Educational Placement Bureau 

which has offices at 102 Stone 

Hall. The Bureau has requests for 

teachers of all subjects and invites 

registration of graduates from all 

Colleges of the University. It can 

supply detailed information about all 

accredited colleges, universities, junior 

colleges, and private schools and 

about certification requirements for 

teaching in the public schools of all 

States. 

Howard G. Andrus, MS in Ed '47, 

Director of the Educational Placement 

Bureau says: "We place not 

only class-room teachers but also 

counsellors, student personnel workers, 

supervisors, principals, and research 

workers. Our purpose is to 

assist Cornell graduates from all the 

Departments and Colleges on the 

Hill to find employment in school 

positions for which they are qualified."

Messenger Lectures 

ROFESSOR Otto Kinkeldey 

P (above), Musicology, Emeritus, 

opened this year's Messenger Lectures 

with six addresses on "Music and the 

Universe." His first lecture in Olin 

Hall, November 8, drew a capacity 

audience to which he was introduced 

by Professor Donald J. Grout, Music. 

Calling Professor Kinkeldey "the dean 

of American musicologists," Professor 

Grout added that his appointment as 

professor of Musicology in 1930 had 

established the first chair in that field 

in the United States and that the imposing 

title of the present lectures 

would have been rank impertinence 

in anyone else, but was merely appropriate 

for him. 

Professor Kinkeldey took the AB 

at CCNY in 1988, the AM at NYU in 

1900, and the PhD at the University 

of Berlin in 1909. For the next four 

years, he held the chair of Royal Prussian 

Professor of Musicology at the 

University of Breslau. During the first 

World War, he was an officer in the 

TJS Army and then joined the staff of 

the New York Public Library. From 

1923-27 he was professor of Music at 

Cornell, and returned in 1930 as professor 

of Musicology and University 

Librarian. He retired in 1946. 

Professor Kinkeldey's Messenger 

Lectures included Greek and Latin 

quotations with discussion of several 

classical philosophers, photographic 

slides, records of musical compositions 

and a solo rendition of a medieval 

Latin song by the professor, himself. 

Opening his first lecture, on "Harmony 

of the Spheres/ 7 

he mentioned 

the ALUMNI NEWS cover caption of 

November 1, to illustrate that the 

philosophical concept originated by 

the ancients is still alive, though usually 

as a mere figure of speech. 

His later lectures were titled "Music 

and Nature", "Music and Man" 

(which occupied two talks, the first 

190 

relating music to science, philosophy, 

and history; the second taking up 

language, literature, and poetry), 

"Music and the Other Arts", "Music 

as an Ancillary Art," and 'Music and 

Society," concluding November 18. 

The Messenger Lectures "on the 

evolution of civilization," were established 

in 1923 by the late Ήiram J. 

Messenger '80. They are published 

by the University Press. 

G 

Murphy Talks to Club 

ENERAL Alumni Secretary 

Emmet J. Murphy '22 addressed 

fifty members of the Cornell Club of 

the Lehigh Valley and their guests at 

an October 28 meeting at the Bethlehem 

Club, Bethlehem, Pa. He spoke 

of Cornell today, admissions, Freshmen, 

and athletics. Speaker also was 

Robert A. Hall, for three years 

quarterback of the Yale football 

team and later assistant football 

coach. He spoke on athletics and 

showed pictures of this year's games. 

G. Lamont Bidwell, Jr. '29, secretary 

of the Club, presided. 

To Discuss AmericanWay 

OUPPORTED by a grant of $10,000 

^ from the Carnegie Corp. of New 

York, the University has announced 

for next term a series of public lectures 

and discussions on "America's 

Freedom and Responsibility in the 

Contemporary Crisis." Invited speakers 

and members of the Faculty will 

discuss such topics as "the strenghtening 

of American political institutions, 

the relation between social responsibilities 

and economic freedoms, and 

the responsibility of the University 

itself in the maintenance of freedom." 

It is expected that the program may 

be continued, perhaps next year, with 

an elective course on the American 

tradition. 

The plan, according to President 

Edmund E. Day, "is the outgrowth of 

long study by the Faculty, administration, 

and Trustees of the part that the 

University should play in bolstering 

the American tradition to face its current 

challenges. Our purpose will be to 

dramatize vital current issues and to 

develop a greater awareness of our responsibility 

as Americans in the great 

decisions which we as a people will 

make. The problems have accquired 

a magnitude which demands that our 

traditional methods be strengthened 

and reformed, just as our basic beliefs 

must be reformulated if they are to 

continue vigorous and worthy of our 

support." 

In charge of planning the symposium 

is a Faculty committee of Professors 

Edward W. Fox and Clinton L. 

Rossiter '39, Government, and Earl 

Brooks, Industrial & Labor Relations. 

ASCAP Dictionary 

Λ SCAP Biographical Dictionary, a 

-^~* recently-published reference book 

on American composers, lists several 

musical Cornellians. Among these are 

Frederick A. Johnson '94 (listed in 

the Dictionary under his pen name 

Frederick Ayres), who wrote Western 

music until his death in 1926; Max 

David '32, who has written songs for 

both Broadway and Hollywood productions; 

and Kermit Goell '36, who 

went from Agriculture to the real 

estate business and dairy farming. In 

addition to writing popular songs, he 

taught flying to AAF cadets and was 

a wartime flight test engineer on experimental 

gliders. 

Seek Trustee Candidates 

S 

TANDING committee on Alumni 

Trustee nominations of the Cornell 

Alumni Association has organized for 

this year by electing Max F. Schmitt 

'24, chairman, and Birge W. Kinne 

'16, vice-chairman. A letter was 

mailed November 1 to officers and 

directors of all alumni organizations 

asking for suggestions of suitable candidates 

for Alumni Trustees of the 

University. The terms of Alumni 

Trustees Alice Blinn '17 and John S. 

Parke, Jr. '23 will expire next June 30 

and nominations of candidates for the 

five-year term beginning July 1, 1949, 

must be filed with the University 

Treasurer by April 1, 1949. 

The committee on Alumni Trustee 

nominations was first organized in 

1942 to analyze the particular personnel 

needs of the Board of Trustees each 

year and to seek out and persuade to 

stand for election persons who are outstandingly 

qualified to serve those 

needs as Alumni Trustees. Such persons 

are investigated by the committee 

and are then nominated as provided 

in the University Charter, by ten or 

more degree holders filing their nominations 

with the Treasurer of the University. 

Nominations of any persons 

may be made by ten or more degree 

holders. 

Members of the committee are 

chosen one each by and from the various 

organizations that make up the 

Cornell Alumni Association, together 

with one Alumni Trustee for those on 

the Board. Besides Schmitt for the 

Association of Class Secretaries and 

Kinne for the Agriculture Alumni Association, 

present members of the committee 

are George R. Pfann '24 for 

the Alumni Trustees; Newton C. Burnett 

'24 for the district directors of 

the Alumni Association; H. W. Peters 

'14, the Cornell Alumni Fund Council; 

Mrs. John W. Arnold (Dorothy Mc- 

Sparran) '18, Federation of Cornell 

Women's Clubs; William F. Stuckle

December /, 1948 

Now, in My Time! 

By 

THIS department shows signs of 

slumping off into a philosophy 

of hopeless, fatalistic optimism. 

That will not be popular. Most 

alumni like to be assured that their 

University reached its peak of efficiency 

when they did; that something 

irreplacable went out of it 

with their departure. 

We're sorry to let you down, but 

you're wrong. We suspect you've 

improved, too, in the qualities that 

determine your character. It's just 

your circulation, digestion, and 

glands that have lost a little of their 

undergraduate form. 

Even deportment at football 

games has improved. We give you 

the Colgate contest, which was 

played under weather conditions 

calculated to make the most critical 

professor palliate occasional 

lapses from complete sobriety on 

the part of visiting alumni. That 

game, played throughout in a 

heavy downpour, produced but one 

known case of over-indulgence. And 

that single lapse would have remained 

undiscovered, no doubt, but 

for the report of a conscientious 

night-watchman, who, making his 

appointed rounds at 2 a.m., had 

been startled by screams, protests, 

and entreaties which he finally located 

as coming from the gentlemen's 

comfort-station serving Sections 

EG and EH under the Cornell 

Crescent. A gentleman had been 

locked in there, according to the 

report. 

It was the night watchman's 

theory, concurred in by the gentleman, 

that the latter had stepped 

out between the halves and had 

gone to sleep there. Nor had he 

been aroused by Mr. Floyd Darling 

making his final inspection and 

locking up at 7 p.m. It was not until 

after midnight that the gentleman's 

potations had worn off, and 

the chill of his wet clothes had sunk 

in, sufficiently to wake him up and 

start him calling upon his Alma 

Mater for assistance while attempting 

to kick the hell out of a concrete 

comfort-stationinindignant protest. 

The night-watchman and the 

gentleman had ample opportunity 

to develop the facts of the case in a 

leisurely chat, because the comfort- 

, stations, like the football ticket department, 

still remain under the 

jurisdiction of the Athletic Associa- 

tion and the universal pass-key carried 

by the night-watchman fitted 

neither the situation nor the lock. 

It took a full hour for Mr. Floyd 

Darling, summoned by telephone, 

to get up there and let the gentleman 

out. 

But how, you ask, does the incident 

of the old grad in the comfortstation, 

interesting as it is, tend to 

bolster our thesis that Cornell is being 

administered with ever-increasing 

efficiency? Ah, have you forgotten 

that twenty years ago the 

59.48 acres of the University's domain 

dedicated to manly sports and 

including both Hoy Field and the 

gentlemen's comfort-stations were 

under the exclusive charge of the 

Athletic Association; that Morrill 

Hall studiously avoided all financial 

or other responsibility for anything 

that might go on over there, even to 

the extent of instructing its nightwatchmen 

and Campus cops to 

avoid the area in question in their 

nightly rounds? 

In that day, the entire load of 

housekeeping, policing, and handling 

the crowds on game days fell 

on Dr. Norman Patullo, Mr. Winslow, 

Old South, and this same Mr. 

Floyd Darling, who got no help at 

all save a lot of undesίred and highly 

irritating advice from the late Mr. 

Frank Sheehan. There was no 

night-watchman beyond Mr. Mc- 

Ferren, who was so completely occupied 

with being janitor of Schoellkopf 

Hall, and also doing the athletic 

laundry in the basement, that 

he had no time to circulate around 

outside. 

We've said enough, perhaps, to 

suggest that if a gentleman had 

gotten himself locked in the comfort-station 

serving Sections EG 

and EH after the Colgate game in 

my time, he'd have stayed right 

there, undiscovered, until the Athletic 

staff got around to cleaning up 

for the Dartmouth contest; say 

about Wednesday afternoon. 

We look after visiting alumni so 

much better, now that your Alma 

Mater keeps her eye on everything, 

including Hoy Field. It would now 

be practically impossible for any 

alumnus, sufficiently important to 

have seats in EG, to lock himself 

up any place on Saturday where he 

wouldn't be found and let out in 

time for church.

"X Disease" Identified 

N 

EW cattle disease, brought to 

public attention during the summer, 

was first reported by Drs. Peter 

Olafson '26, head of Pathology and 

Bacteriology; and Myron G. Fincher 

'20, Professor of Veterinary Medicine 

and head of the Department. The report 

was made at a Veterinarians' 

Conference held on the Campus in 

January, 1942. 

Known as "X disease" when it first 

appeared in 1941, the malady is now 

designated "Hyperkeratosis" because 

of a skin thickening around neck and 

shoulders which is one of its symptoms. 

Affecting both dairy and beef 

cattle, the new disease is considered a 

potential danger to national milk and 

meat supplies, though outbreaks have 

been only sporadic to date. 

A recent survey conducted in five 

states by the U. S. Bureau of Animal 

Industry indicates that fifty-nine 

per cent of infected cattle die from the 

ailment, but there is no evidence that 

the disease is spread by contact or 

other means. Cause and effective 

treatment are being investigated here. 

Foreign Women Here 

Λ MERICAN Home Economics As- 

•*"*• sociation Scholarships of $400 

have helped bring two graduate 

women to the University this year 

from almost opposite ends of the 

earth. Susan V. Holmes of Wellington, 

New Zealand, is here for a year's 

study of the public health aspects of 

nutrition and Mrs. Francine Van de 

Putte Gilles of Brussels, Belgium, is 

studying child training in the College 

of Home Economics. 

Mrs. Gilles, whose husband is 

also studying in the United States 

this year, when she was twenty, 

during the war, organized and managed 

single-handed a home for sixty 

children of Trooz, Belgium, whose 

parents were war casualties or prisoners. 

She evacuated her charges to 

Brussels, and by her calmness and 

initiative is reported to have prevented 

panic in Trooz when the town 

was being severely bombed. After 

her year at Cornell, she will return 

to Belgium to take charge of government 

training of home-maker's helpers 

to assist hard-pressed farm families. 

Miss Holmes, who also holds a 

School of Nutrition scholarship, graduated 

at Otago University in New 

Zealand during the war and came to 

America from England where she had 

been studying dietetics and working 

as a public health nutritionist. She 

intends to continue work in that field 

after her year here. 

Tenth and largest scholarship fund 

raised by the State Federation of 

192 

Home Bureaus for grants to students 

in Home Economics preparing for 

work in the Extension Service is the 

sum of $5,000 for an Eliza Keats 

Young Scholarship. It is named for 

the third president of the Federation, 

who lives in Milton. 

Additional gifts of $1,000 this year 

will start a fund to support Eliza 

Keats Young Fellowships for foreign 

women who come to the College for 

short periods. First to receive this 

Fellowship is Nancelle C. Cossus, 

from France, who came in November 

for three months as part of her study 

of home economics education and 

extension work in the United States. 

She also has a grant from the Milbank 

Foundation.

White '15 Heads Alumni 

EW president of the Cornell Al- 

N umni Association is Robert W. 

White '15 (above), vice-president and 

chief financial officer of Union Carbide 

& Carbon Corp., New York City. He 

was elected by the directors of the Association, 

meeting at the Cornell Club 

of New York, November 5, for a twoyear 

term succeeding Elbert P. Tuttle 

'18, whose term expired. 

White has been associated with the 

development of Union Carbide and its 

subsidiaries into one of the largest chemical 

companies in the world, since he 

received the BS in 1915. He entered 

Agriculture from Brockport Normal 

School in 1911, became managing 

editor of the Cornellian, was for two 

years business manager of the ALUMNI 

NEWS, and was elected secretary of 

the Class of '15. He is a member of 

Alpha Tau Omega, Sphinx Head, the 

ALUNMI NEWS advisory board, and 

the Greater Cornell Committee. 

The directors elected White a director-at-large 

of the Association, as 

they did Mrs. Henry Gichner (Isabelle 

Saloman) '29 of Washington, 

D.C., and elected Mrs. Gichner second 

vice-president. William Littlewood 

'20 of Garden City was elected first 

vice-president and General Alumni 

Secretary Emmet J. Murphy '22 was 

re-elected secretary-treasurer. District 

directors present re-elected Littlewood 

as their chairman and the directors 

from College alumni associations 

elected as their chairman Dr. 

William D. Stubenbord '31, president 

of the Medical College Alumni Association. 

Both thus become members 

of the executive committee of the 

Cornell Alumni Association. 

Littlewood reported as chairman of 

a special committee on district boundaries 

and district directors, recommending 

the establishment of nine 

December /, 194.8 

districts for election of directors in 

place of the seven now established, the 

proposal for the necessary amendment 

of the by-laws to be submitted at the 

annual meeting of the Association 

next June in Ithaca. 

Intimate Concerts 

/CHAMBER music concerts in the 

^-* University series opened with the 

London String Quartet in the Willard 

Straight Theater, November 2, and 

the second series, with the New York 

Wind Ensemble, November 9. 

The audience enjoyed from the 

String Quartet a program, superbly 

performed, of the "Quartet in D 

Minor" by Haydn and the Quartets of 

Debussy and Beethoven. 

The New York groups, of a brass 

ensemble of five players and a quintet 

of four woodwinds and a French 

horn, played a varied and interesting 

program which included works by 

Johann Pezel, Anthony Holborne, 

Henry Purcell, Giovanni Gabrieli, and 

Ingolf Dahl by the brasses, selections 

from Darius Milhaud and Paul 

Hindemith by the woodwinds, and 

Bach "Chorales" by the two groups 

together. 

Y 

Savages Entertain 

ALP ta Segavas," the 1948 show 

of the Savage Club of Ithaca, 

packed Bailey Hall for two performances, 

November 12 and 13, during 

the University's Autumn Week 

End. This is said to be the first time 

the Savages have given a repeat 

performance; the experiment was 

eminently successful. 

Transposed, the show's title means 

"Savages at Play," and the show was 

again a public meeting of the Club, 

brought up from its basement rooms 

on Green Street. From the hearty 

laughter of Professor Rollo Tallcott of 

Ithaca College as Prolocutor reading 

a Prolegomenon written in verse by 

Professor Bristow Adams, through a 

fast-paced and varied program of 

songs, stunts, juggling, and magic by 

the Brother Savages, the performances 

were equally enjoyed by the Club 

members on stage and the audience 

which included many houseparty 

guests. In all, some thirty Savages 

showed their talents, including students, 

members of the Faculty, Ithaca 

members of the Club, and Alfred F. 

Sulla, Jr. '29 from Harrison with his 

banjo. Master of ceremonies was 

Professor Elmer S. Phillips '32, introduced 

by the Club president, William 

B. Corcoran '23. Sam Jones, the new 

Club steward who has replaced the 

long-time steward, James Miller, 

now incapacitated by illness, came on 

stage to pour libations. 

The program contained an interesting 

history of the Savage Club's 

fifty-three years by Professor Bristow 

Adams and entertaining notes on members 

and their specialties written by 

"Sewoh Yar," transposed from Ray 

Howes '24, Secretary of the University. 

Chairman of the committee for 

the show was R. Selden Brewer '40, 

Alumni Field Secretary, and the director 

and production manager was 

Joseph A. Short.

Prayer and Life 

Prayer and the Common Life. By 

Georgia E. Harkness '12. Abingdon- 

Cokesbury Press, New York City. 

1948. 224 pages, $2.50. 

Half of the 1948 Abingdon-Cokesbury 

Award of $7,500 for books that 

"accomplish the greatest good for the 

Christian faith and Christian living 

among all people" went to Miss Harkness 

for this manuscript. Writing with 

the conviction that "there is nothing 

of which the world has greater need 

than an upsurge of vital, God-centered, 

intelligently grounded prayer," 

Miss Harkness, who is professor of applied 

theology at Garrett Biblical Institute, 

Evanston, 111., discusses the 

fundamentals, methods, and fruits of 

prayer. Her final chapter she devotes 

to the requirements of world peace 

and the contributions which prayer 

can make to the peace of the world.

Bryant '27 and Karl R. Wallace '27. 

D. Appleton-Century Co., Inc., New 

York City. 1948. 320 pages, $2.50. 

This textbook on the fundamentals 

of public speaking is designed to meet 

the needs of the beginning student as 

they arise. A clear, simple style and 

large type make the book inviting and 

useable. The authors express indebtedness 

to their former teachers, Professors 

James A. λVinans '07, who

taught here for many years, Alex M. 

Drummond, Director of the University 

Theater, and Herbert A. Wichelns

Speech and Drama. Bryant is associate 

professor of English at Washington 

University, and Wallace is professor 

of speech and head of the department 

at the University of Illinois. 

Intelligence 

In the "Accent on Living" section 

of the October Atlantic, C.W.M. has 

_ , ... a good time poking fun at 

Fraternities ,, & 

. ^ ,, , 

A ... , , the American college fra- 

Attacked , ., τ , „ ., 

termty. It was really quite 

humorous in a spot or two, for instance 

where he wrote, " Consumption 

of ketchup along Fraternity Row is 

estimated at 1.67 gallons per week per 

brother." Were it not that the boys in 

my old house swear by their cook, I 

would consider this side-splitting. 

The Ithaca Savings Bank will, no 

doubt, be interested in the statement 

that "Fraternity-house mortgages run 

for a fixed term of, say, two hundred 

years and represent about 150 per cent 

of the property's estimated market 

value as of the spring of 1929." Davy 

Hoy, father of our group, used to say 

that a reasonable mortgage was a good 

thing for a chapter, taught the members 

the meaning of money. I wouldn't be 

surprised if there are as many Cornell 

houses that suffer from lack of a 

mortgage as because of too large a one. 

TIME in its September 27 issue 

picked up the article and reprinted 

much of it, reporting too that the author 

is Charles W. Morton, Atlantic 

associate editor, and that he was so 

frustrated as a freshman at Williams 

that he left college when he wasn't bid 

by a fraternity. He came back later, 

joined, couldn't take the food, and 

finished eating at the Williams Inn. 

Atlantic Editor Edward Weeks '19 

spent two years at Cornell in Engineering, 

left for the American Field 

Service, then went to Harvard to 

study English when he came back 

from World War I. 

No doubt, the squib was intended 

as a burlesque. All it proved to me 

,._ _ was that Editor Morton 

, , , 

has an uneasy stomach 

May Be 

τ -: .. 

Indigestion 

didn't get the Cornell fraternity spirit, 

in spite of being a member of one here, 

or he wouldn't have printed without 

some saving comment Morton's tripe 

about "teen - age Little Scorpions 

Clubs." 

Another slander: "The college president 

turns resolutely away from 

the whole subject . . . and besides, the 

college could never afford to take over 

all that real estate at today's prices." 

I heard President Day speak-recently 

at a dinner meeting of the resident advisors' 

committee of the Cornell Interfraternity 

Alumni Association and he 

was far from turning "resolutely 

away." 

* * * 

Nobody in his right mind thinks 

fraternities are 100 per cent good. 

Members themselves don't 

° Γ ? 6 . A . think so. What pleases me 

D?Well 

is thβ desirβ f ° r Self " im provement manifested 

- 

by 

undergraduates in the Interfraternity 

Council and by alumni in the Interfraternity 

Alumni Association. President 

Day at the dinner recognized 

that you can't impose improvement 

by edict from above, coining a good 

phrase about undergraduates being 

"negatively suggestible," and expressed 

appreciation of the efforts of 

the Association to check fraternity 

complacency. 

Dean of Men Frank C. Baldwin '22 

told how he had been reassured by the 

way the undergraduate Council had 

picked its presidents in the post-war 

years and remarked that its judiciary 

committee means business, as evidenced 

by a $50 fine for initiation 

monkey-business off the house premises 

and a ban on a type of interfraternity 

beer party. He said the committee 

is now formulating a rule on women 

visitors and called the boys "99 per 

cent on the level," which is par on 

any course. 

The meeting considered such things 

as house fire inspection, how to increase 

the interest of the fraternities 

in the University community, how to 

improve scholarship, and how to 

stimulate development of all-around 

men through extra-curricular activities. 

Fraternity scholastic standings 

had just been issued by the Registrar's 

Office and printed in The Sun and it 

was pointed out that the Greeks had 

maintained their position well, though 

they were still about two-thirds of a 

percentage point below the independent 

men's average. The whole meeting 

was typical of the constant thought 

expended on and off Campus for fraternity 

improvement within the general 

picture of the University. 

Perhaps I shouldn't let myself be 

annoyed by a burlesque, even an unfair 

one. Perhaps our situation is not 

typical of that at other institutions 

and I, for one, have never heard here 

the expression "barb" to describe a 

non-fraternity man, nor does one ever 

hear "frat" used. With the multiplicity 


of houses on the Hill and the relative 

ease of starting a new one, anybody 

who really wants to sport Greek letters 

can do so. I have heard of one boy this 

fall who was unbid and quite disappointed; 

conversely, I know another 

who was invited by a group he liked 

but didn't join because he preferred 

his independence. 

* * * 

Poor Williams, to have inspired the 

Morton Atlantic dissertation! And 

poor Beacon Hill, to have given it 

space! I'll match Cornell any day with 

Williams or Harvard as a place in 

which to live!

On the Sporting Side By «sideiiner" 

P 

1949 Football 

RINCETON returns to the Varsity 

football schedule next year, 

to complete the "Ivy League" roster, 

except Brown. Cornell will again play 

nine games: 

Sept. 24 Niagara at Ithaca 

Oct. 1 Colgate at Ithaca 

8 Harvard at Cambridge 

15 Yale at New Haven 

22 Princeton at Ithaca 

29 Columbia at Ithaca 

Nov. 5 Syracuse at Ithaca 

12 Dartmouth at Hanover 

24 Pennsylvania at Philadelphia 

C 

Beat Colgate in Rain 

ORNELL yielded Colgate a touchdown 

in the first half and then 

plowed through the mud on rainsoaked 

Schoellkopf Field, November 

6, for scores in the third and fourth 

quarters to defeat the Red Raiders, 

14-6. By winning this one, their sixth 

victory in seven starts, the James 

Boys captured the New York State 

"Big Three'' championship, having 

previously defeated Syracuse. 

Playing on a wet field for the first 

time this year, Cornell seemed to have 

difficulty in getting under way in the 

early stages of the game. Colgate, on 

the other hand, clicked when Mc- 

Laughlin passed to Egler who ran, unmolested, 

twenty yards for his team's 

only tally. Rip Haley '51 seemed to 

have the play broken up, but failed 

in his attempt to bat down the slippery 

ball. 

Jeff Fleischmann '51 crossed the 

double lines for Cornell's first 6 points, 

climaxing a forty-six-yard march with 

a nine-yard plunge through center. 

The second touchdown was made by 

Bob Dean '49. Working the last quarter 

at quarterback, Dean faked a 

handoff, kept the ball, and circled left 

end for fourteen yards to score. Paul 

Girol^mo '50 assisted with a key block. 

ΪDean added both points after touchdowns. 

As it has for most of the season, the 

defensive team kept its opponents' 

running attack under control, limiting 

the visitors to seventy-eight yards by 

rushing, while Cornell picked up 225 

yards. 

T 

Freshmen Still Win 

HE Freshman football team continued 

its winning ways against 

the Colgate frosh, November 6, with 

a 19-13 victory on rain-soaked lower 

Alumni Field. As before this fall, 

Quarterback Rocco Calvo and Fullback 

Stu Merz led the attack. Merz, 

a 193-pαunder from South Orange, N. 

196 

J., scored the first two Cornell touchdowns 

on runs of nine yards and fiftytwo 

yards. Calvo passed to Vic Pujo, 

an end, for thirteen yards and the 

third touchdown in the first half. Hal 

Seidenberg added one point after 

touchdown. 

Colgate scored in the second and 

last quarters. This game was the 

fourth straight win for the Freshmen 

and the first defeat for the visitors. 

Thriller with Dartmouth 

C 

ORNELL 27, Dartmouth 26. That 

was the final score of as wild and 

exciting a football game as has ever 

been played on Schoellkopf Field, a 

game that was played before 30,000 

spectators, November 13, in rain, sunshine, 

sleet, and gusty winds. It seems 

that whenever exciting football games 

are played, the Big Red and the Green 

horde from Hanover are always involved. 

In this series that dates back 

to 1900, Cornell has now won sixteen 

games, Dartmouth fifteen, and one 

has resulted in a tie. There have been 

many thrillers among them, the standout 

until now the 1926 game, which 

Cornell won 24-23 with a field goal in 

the last ten seconds by Captain Emerson 

Carey, Jr. '26. But from seeing 

them both, your reporter has no hesitation 

in saying that even that game 

must now take a back seat to the 

contest of 1948. 

With thirteen minutes to play, the 

score stood Dartmouth 26, Cornell 14. 

Then Paul Girolamo '50 slammed 

through the line to tally the touchdown 

that brought the Big Red within 

sight of winning. After the Cornell 

kickoff, Clayton, a fine quarterback 

and forward passer for Dartmouth all 

afternoon, had the ball batted from 

his hands by Captain Joe Quinn '49, 

and Red Jensen '51 recovered near 

midfield. A few plays later and with 

the clock showing but two minutes to 

go, Bob Dean '49, playing in the place 

of Jeff Fleischmann '51, Cornell's 

hard-driving fullback who had been 

carried off the field with a broken 

ankle in the second quarter, went over 

from the one-foot line with the tally 

that tied the score at 26-all. The same 

Mr. Dean then stepped back and 

booted the point that gave his team 

its seventh victory in eight starts. 

Seconds later, Chuck Taylor '50, 

backer-up, intercepted a desperate 

Dartmouth pass to stop the final 

Green threat. 

As the game ended, delirious Cornellians 

uprooted their own goal posts 

and hoisted Bob Dean to their shoul- 

ders. It was a big day for the Bloomington, 

Ind., lad who has been a workhorse 

for the Big Red the last three 

years. In this game he averaged 7.6 

yards a carry in ten times, 45.7 yards 

a kick on seven punts, kicked three of 

four tries for the point after touchdown, 

and kicked off. To top it all, he 

was scheduled to become a father that 

day (but didn't). 

But all the action wasn't confined 

to the last part of the game; not by a 

long shot! Dartmouth scored after but 

two minutes of play. Six minutes 

later, Frank Bradley '50, wearing a 

special mask to protect his broken 

jaw, got away around his own right 

end on a nearly-perfect play that went 

seventy yards, to even the count. In 

the second quarter, Dartmouth scored 

again on a pass from Clayton to Sullivan, 

who caught the ball in the end 

zone. Early in the second half, Clayton 

passed for another Green touchdown, 

this time to Rowe. Three minutes 

later, Cornell tallied on a thirty-eightyard 

run by Frank Miller '51. Then 

came the most spectacular run of the 

game, a seventy-five-yard jaunt by 

Dartmouth's Sullivan. Apparently 

stopped at the line of scrimmage and 

with his helmet ripped off, he bulled 

his way loose and, reversing his field 

several times, worked his way without 

assistance from his team-mates to the 

two-yard line, from which point Fitkin 

scored what then seemed to be the 

clincher. But later events proved 

otherwise! 

Coach Lefty James called this the 

greatest game he had ever seen in his 

eighteen years of coaching, and was 

lavish in his praise of all his players. 

Outstanding among the linesmen were 

Captain Quinn, who played the best 

game of his career, Dick Clark '50, 

Walt Bruska '50, and the fighting 

center, Johnnie Pierik '51. 

Lightweights End Season 

T 

HE 150-pound football team 

scored its second victory of the 

season when it defeated Pennsylvania, 

27-12, on lower Alumni Field, November 

5. Jim Bell '52 scored on a cross 

buck two minutes after hostilities 

started. Jim Epler '51 passed to Bell 

for a second score late in the half. In 

the third quarter it was Bell again on 

a running play, and in the final period 

Dick Cor with '50 scored on a ten-yard 

plunge through center. Jack Anderson 

'51 added 3 extra points out of 

four chances by placekicks. Penn 

scored in the second and fourth 

quarters. 

The 150's brought their season to a 

close at Villanova, Pa., November 12, 

overwhelming Villanova, 34-7. After a 

scoreless first quarter, Cornell tallied 

on a safety and a Jim Epler-to-Cap- 


tain Ed Rock '50 pass in the second 

period. It was Epler again who led the 

second-half offensive. First, he hit 

Jack Ross '51 with a pass in the end 

zone and then he scored one himself 

on a quarterback sneak. Bill Phillips 

'51 bulled through the line from eight 

yards out and Dick Reilly '49 ended 

the touchdown parade when he bucked 

over from the Wildcat two. Anderson 

added 2 extra points. 

Although at this writing the schedule 

of the Eastern Intercollegiate 150pound 

Football League is not entirely 

completed, it appears that the Cornell 

record of three victories and two defeats 

puts them in third place among 

the six teams. 

Coach this year has been Thomas J. 

Kane '46, Senior in Arts and brother 

of Director Robert J. Kane '34. The

C OACH 

Riders Take All 

Stephen J. Roberts '37 

and his veteran polo team, one 

that rode into the Intercollegiate 

finals last year, are off to a fast start. 

Over the first five opponents met, the 

Red riders have been victorious. In 

the first match of the season, Harvard 

was defeated 23-5. The Cortland Polo 

Club was then edged out, 14-13, and 

an alumni team was overcome, 27-11, 

with the undergraduate team given a 

10-goal handicap. Williams College 

was the next victim, losing 18-8, and 

November 13, Cornell defeated the 

Akron Polo Club, 16-15, in a suddendeath 

overtime contest. 

Chick Gandal '51, riding at the 

number one position, has been high 

man in each contest. Other regulars 

are Captain Bud Strouss '49 and Jack 

Morgan '52. 

The polo team operates independently 

of the Athletic Association. Toward 

its support the Cornell Polo 

Club raised money from parking at 

football games and had the checking 

concession at the Autumn Week End

Symposium: 

What Happens to Football Players? 

As Students 

BY PROF. F. G. MARCHAM 

When in November, 1945, the presidents 

of Brown, Columbia, Cornell, 

Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, 

Princeton, and Yale announced an 

agreement to regulate the football relations 

of their colleges, a Committee on 

Eligibility was announced with the Cornell 

member, Professor Frederick G. 

Marcham, PhD '26, as its first chairman. 

Duty of this committee was to formulate 

and administer eligibility rules 

for the group and pass on eligibility of 

all players. 

V^ΓTΉEN the Eligibility Committee 

^* of the "Ivy League" began 

work three years ago, one of the first 

topics it studied was the academic 

standing of football players in the universities 

and colleges of our own informal 

group. We knew the common 

belief that football players are academically 

sub-normal. And, while no one 

had made a point of condeminng the 

Ivy League in this respect, we wished 

to learn whether, if such an attack 

came, we could give a satisfactory 

answer to it. 

The complaint regarding the academic 

achievements of football players 

usually hinges on two allegations: that 

if they have sufficient athletic skill, 

they can gain admission to college despite 

academic deficiencies; and that, 

once in college, they are given preferred 

treatment which enables them to 

stay in good academic standing despite 

their deficiencies. If these allegations 

are true, college football players 

should show up as a group standing 

lower in academic performance than 

the rest of the student body. 

The Eligibility Committee has concerned 

itself so far only with the standing 

of football players in relation to the 

total student body. Its records deal 

with the years 1946-47 and 1947-48. 

We have gathered from each of our 

member universities and colleges the 

facts concerning each player who won 

his letter in football, and we are in a 

position not only to say where a player 

stood in relation to other students in 

his university taking a course similar 

to his, but we can make a rough comparison 

between the academic standing 

of, shall we say, Pennsylvania's football 

team and Cornell's. 

This over-all information the chairman 

of the Eligibility Committee will 

shortly release. Since I do not wish to 

jump the gun on our chairman, Dean 

Kenny of Brown, I shall confine myself 

to the Cornell facts and figures as they 

relate to the letter-men who were in 

198 

college during the second term of 1947- 

48. 

At that time, there were twentyfour 

football letter-men of the preceding 

season in the University, and they 

were distributed eleven in Arts and 

Sciences, two in the School of Industrial 

& Labor Relations, and the remainder 

in one or another of the 

Schools of Engineering. Considered 

College by College, the record is clear 

to this extent: that the men in Arts 

and Sciences found the going roughest. 

None of them was in the top fifth 

of the College, two were in the second 

fifth, and five in the third fifth. The 

record of the two men in Industrial & 

Labor Relations was superb: one in 

the top fifth and one in the second. 

And the Engineers were not far behind, 

with five in the top fifth, three 

in the second, two in the third, and one 

in the fourth. Thus our total stands as 

follows: seven men gained places in the 

first fifth of the whole University, five 

in the second, seven in the third, three 

in the fourth, and only two in the bottom 

fifth. In terms of mere averages, 

the letter-men stood well above the 

norm of the total student body. 

But the whole story is not told by 

these figures. There is a part which 

deals with the attitude of football 

players toward their academic work. 

If I were to tell this part of the story in 

full, I would have to talk about individual 

players and try to explain with 

what seriousness, or lack of it, they 

thought of themselves as students. I 

do not know all of them intimately 

enough to be able to do this. But I 

know enough of them to be able to 

make these remarks. 

In that list of twenty-four men, I 

see one who "busted out" at the end 

of his first term. By the time he grad- 

Professor Marcham Lectures to His 

Class in English History 

uated at the end of last spring term, he 

had brought his cumulative average 

to the point where he stood in the third 

fifth of his College. I see another who, 

though he met the admission requirements, 

was not a promising student as 

a Freshman. He stands in the second 

fifth. I see mediocre students who 

raised their standing substantially, 

and I see a good student who climbed 

into the top fifth. In the whole group, 

there is only one of whom it can be 

said that four years at Cornell did 

nothing to imporove his standing as a 

student. 

To me, this part of the story is the 

more interesting and the more important. 

It would be a serious indictment 

of college football if it could be 

argued that men came to a great university 

like Cornell and were so involved 

and absorbed in football, perhaps 

so exploited by the coaches, that 

their promise as students withered 

away. With us, the situation is just 

the opposite. Our football players 

grow in strength as students. As a 

group, they compare favorably with 

any other section of our undergraduate 

body. 

As Alumni 

BY LAWRENCE ROBINSON 

Lawrence Robinson, sports reporter 

of the New York World-Telegram, 

came to Ithaca for the Army football 

game and talked with members of the 

1939 Varsity team who came back for 

a reunion and were pictured in our last 

issue. The following story, headed 

"Playing Football Isn't the Only Thing 

That Happens to Stars," appeared in 

the World-Telegram October 27. It is 

reprinted by permission. 

the 1939 Cornell foot- 

R EMEMBER 

ball team? That was the one that 

went through undefeated to win the 

Eastern (Lambert Trophy) title and 

uphold Ivy League football above and 

beyond normal expectation. 

It ran over every rival it met, projected 

Coach Carl Snavely to a pinnacle 

in American football, and perked 

up Eastern football immeasurably. 

People claimed then that Snavely 

virtually hired the team by giving 

scholarships galore, easy courses, and 

what have you. They insisted that if 

they weren't recruited, at least they 

were a bunch of guys who enjoyed an 

Ithaca opportunity by virtue of gridiron 

prowess. 

What happens to such guys? It is 

interesting to know that they have 

been out ten years. Did they end up 

as major or minor leaguers, meaning 

gridiron bums, or what? 

Perhaps that smart team isn't typical 

of what happens to footballers, but 

their post-graduate history is interesting. 

They held a reunion at school last 

week to see the Army game, and they 

offer an absorbing slant. Here are 

their current activities: 


Lou Buffalino, right halfback: Boston 

sales engineer. 

Bud Finneran, center: sales manager, 

Union News Co. 

Bill Murphy, halfback: sales manager, 

Schenley products. 

Hal McCullough, halfback: Cornell 

backfield coach. 

Swifty Bohrman, halfback: vicepresident 

and manager, Colorado hotel 

chain. 

Lou Conti, guard: flying major, US 

Marine Corps. 

Jim Schmuck, guard: sales manager, 

New York dairy. 

Alva Kelley, end: assistant coach, 

Cornell. 

Walter Matuzak (Matusczak), quarterback: 

veterinarian, Syracuse. 

Nick Drahos, tackle: New York 

State Department of Conservation. 

Walter Scholl, halfback: customer's 

man, Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner 

& Beane. 

Kirk Hershey, end: flying lieutenant 

(senior grade), US Navy. 

Dr. Howard Dunbar, guard: surgeon 

at Cornell Medical Center. 

Bill Worcester, tackle: head salesman, 

Cutler-Hammer, Detroit. 

Ken Brown, back: New York 

State Health Department. 

A funny thing about these fellows: 

almost all of them could go in and 

start a game tomorrow. They've kept 

in shape. You should see that Drahos, 

the guy who broke up the 1938 upset 

of Ohio State in Columbus. He still 

can wear those pants with the thirtytwo-inch 

waist. A lot of them could still 

put on Varsity uniforms and not 

crowd them. 

They all think Snavely is a great 

coach today. In school, they hated the 

taciturn veteran who is guiding North 

Carolina through an unbeaten season 

and great honors at the moment. As 

Cornell candidates, they thought 

Snavely was the meanest man in the 

world. Today, they realize that Carl 

was only trying to make them play to 

the hilt, which they did.

wonder why these Cornell gatherings

in the sport when they won the 

national Star Class championship of 

the Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Association 

at New London, Conn., October 

16 and 17. Sailing seven races in 

as many boats of the US Coast Guard 

Academy, the Cornell sailors&Led, in 

order, Yale, the Coast Guard, Harvard, 

MIT, Holy Cross, and Boston 

College. Skipper for Harvard, the defending 

champion, was Hilary Smart, 

Olympic Star Class winner in England 

last summer. 

Other Corinthian crews have sailed 

the Club's new "Baby Narrasketucks" 

on Cayuga Lake in weekly ICYRA 

regattas this fall. 

The eight boats purchased by the 

Club last spring, principally with gifts 

from interested alumni, are being 

marked with brass plates bearing the 

names of the donors. 

Sports Shorts 

Five Varsity players were late reporting 

at Schoellkopf for the Colgate 

game, because they had taken a 

twelve o'clock prelim in Psychology 

that rainy Saturday noon. P.S.— 

Quarterbacks Haley and Dorset got 

respective marks of 84 and 77 on that 

prelim; in the line, Guard Ramin advanced 

to 86 and Tackle Drost held 

at 69 and End Hummer at 62. 

Cornell has received an invitation 

to send two crews to Florida during 

the Christmas recess to row in a regatta 

in West Palm Beach on or about 

New Year's Day. It is reported that 

Princeton, Pennsylvania, and Yale 

have accepted similar invitations. No 

decision has been announced by 

Cornell. 

Jacob I. Goldbas '34 and his brother, 

Moses L. Goldbas '39, Utica lawyers, 

have contributed trophies again 

this year to be awarded to the "outstanding 

boxer" and the "most improved 

boxer." Jake played fullback 

for Coach Gilmour Dobie and Moe 

was Intercollegiate boxing champion. 

There is a reported possibility that 

the Cornell track team will go to Eng- 

land during the summer of 1950, with 

Princeton, to compete against an 

Oxford-Cambridge team. These contests 

were held regularly from 1920 

to 1936, when they were called off because 

of the war threat. If the plan 

works out as proposed, the English 

group will come to the United States 

in 1949 to meet both the Cornell- 

Princeton team and a Harvard-Yale 

unit. In 1950, Cornell and Princeton 

will go to England and in 1951, the 

Harvard-Yale team will go across the 

Atlantic. 

Walt Peek '49 won the University 

golf championship when he defeated

200 Cornell Alumni News

On The Campus and Down the Hill 

Push-ball game, annual event between 

Sophomores and Freshmen, 

ended in defeat for '51 this year. 

Losing ground, the ball, and in one 

case reported by the Sun, their pants, 

the Sophomores were swept from upper 

Alumni Field by a six-foot ball 

enthusiastically guided by Freshmen. 

End of the struggle landed the ball 

on a table-top in the Willard Straight 

lobby. Later in the evening it turned 

up, half deflated, in Balch Arch and 

has been missing since. 

Coal mine exploration climaxed a field 

trip of Industrial & Labor Relations

"THE BROOKS LOOK" 

There's an individuality about our Clothing that immediately identifies 

it as "Brooks!' It's an individuality in its lines no less than in 

its workmanship... because all our clothing is cut on our own distinctive 

"Brooks" patterns and made in our own workrooms or to 

our own specifications. And as much as its lines and its workmanship 

and its Good Taste... Brooks' clothing is identified by the type 

of men who wear it.
