And that's where I come in. By the grace of Nicky Bawlf and the absence in those years of Canadian competitors on the squad, I was a member of that 1926 team. Little had I realized what a great team we must have been that year! To defeat Clarkson when the recent superb teams couldn't do it! But kidding aside, Clarkson must have had an off year in 1926 for we were surely no great shakes in the hockey world. The week following the Clarkson victory, Dartmouth pasted us 12 to 1. I well remember that day. What a bunch of bruisers! Five of the six were also members of Dartmouth's champion football team of the previous fall, including a couple of All-Americans. Their smallest man was about ten pounds over our biggest. And our skates were too sharp for the condition of the ice (or was it too dull?). The other two seniors on that team were Ben Tilton, a really good center, who was killed in an aeroplane crash a few years later, and Shorty Aronson, an amazing combination of hockey wing and varsity crew coxswain. He is now a prominent lawyer in Syracuse (and Judge, I believe). We had certain "advantages" in those days. We operated on an open air rinkon Beebe Lake where we lived with the vicissitudes of Ithaca's winter weather. And we cleaned and scraped our own ice which was marvellous exercise. Best of all, we were blessed with a remarkable coach, as apparently the boys are now. Nicky Bawlf gave us as useful tutelage as any professor. It was indeed a pleasure to see the status of hockey at Cornell now. The sport really deserves its popularity. And Lynah Rink is a fine facility. I hope the squad - and the spectators - appreciate it. It's a far cry from good old Beebe! -FRANK (EDDIE) EDMINSTER'26 ARLINGTON, VA. The Cornell Spirit EDITOR: May I tell you how much I enjoyed the article in your April issue entitled "Wilder-What Should be Said to Earnest and Thoughtful Students?" Although much of it is devoted to Agassiz and Wilder, the author has touched upon the key to Cornell's greatness when he stated, "It was within this broad intellectual and cultural framework that Ezra Cornell, Andrew Dickson White, and the Morrill Land Grant Act gave birth to Cornell University. It was an event that the American historian Allan Nevins has referred to as 'the most remarkable phenomenon in higher education* during the postwar (Civil War) decade.' " I wonder how many Cornellians realize what a great heritage our university has. How many realize what big, clear-thinking, forwuH-looking, truth-seeking and devoted men Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White were? It was my good fortune to be at Cornell while Andrew Dickson White was still living, and my great honor occasionally to usher him to his pew in Sage Chapel. He was a wonderful and devout man. Later I was presented with his famous A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology, to which Mr. Corson refers in his article and which I found most enlightening. This classic should be read by all Cornellians. In my humble opinion the introduction at least should be required reading for all members of the Board of Trustees and Faculty. Without this background, or its equivalent, no one can realize the proud position and the true spirit of Cornell. I wish to express my thanks to Mr. Corson for his interesting story and, particularly, for his reminding us of the precious gift involved in the founding of Cornell. DREXEL HILL, PA. - KARL G. KRECH '21 Image Defended EDITOR: Professor Donald Kagan's article on "The Constitutional Crisis in the Modern University" is indeed interesting. However I feel compelled to comment on his reference to the business corporation. My concern is not with his point that the university is not like a business corporation but rather with the impression it leaves about the business corporation. The corporate image has taken a beating of late and it is most unfortunate when anything less than the full challenge of industry is laid before students, faculty and alumni. To be specific Professor Kagan states: "The business corporation must make a product or perform a service and show a profit. The problems of management although by no means simple, are ultimately technical. How can the job be done better, cheaper, faster? They require intelligence, experience and judgment but they are different in nature from the problems confronting the administrators of a university." While probably not the intent the inference here is that if you just build faster a better, cheaper mouse trap the profits roll in. Nothing could be further from the realities of the situation. A few examples follow: 1. Consider the task of organizing, training and leading a force of 100,000, 200,000 or 300,000 men and women of all races and creeds represented by a multiplicity of unions. Nothing is "ultimately technical" in this problem. 2. Consider the development of products, many of which represent breakthroughs in scientific knowledge. A good example are the synthetic fibers which required management leadership of the highest order to bring to commercialization. 3. Consider the long range (10, 15, 20 years) planning of products based on changes in consumer demand, changes in technology that may eliminate the products and you find monumental problems in longterm business judgment. 4. Consider the intricacies of global finances with all manner of currency and banking restrictions. There is nothing "better, cheaper and faster" in this activity. Workers in industry's vineyard will be well aware of additions that could be made to this list. Unfortunately the real romance and challenge of industry has not been sufficiently publicized. Cornell can take great pride in the outstanding graduates who have been in the forefront of business and industrial progress. The opportunity to men seeking careers in business corporations has never been greater and can challenge the finest men the university can graduate. WILMINGTON, DEL. - T. E.
