BUFFALO WOMEN'S TEA
The Cornell Women's Club of Buffalo
entertained undergraduates home from
the vacation at a Christmas tea on December
z8 at the home of Dr. Harriet
Hosmer Ί8. Ruth M. Harder '35 was
chairman of the meeting. More than
fifty alumnae and students attended.
FOUR IN COLORADO
In Colorado last month four Cornel-
Hans took leading parts in the annual
extension conference at Colorado Agricultural
College in Fort Collins. Professor
Bristow Adams gave five lessons in newswriting
and spoke at a College convocation
and at the annual extension banquet,
Hans W. Hochbaum '05 represented the
Extension Service of the United States
Department of Agriculture, Roger B.
Corbett '2.2. spoke on the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration, and Lawrence
M. Vaughan '2.3 represented the
Farm Credit Administration.
OPENS BRAIN WINDOW
Dr. Edmund Jacobson, who reported
at St. Louis during the holidays on his
experiments through a brain window in
the human skull, studied with Professor
Edward B. Titchenerin 1910-11 as honorary
fellow in Psychology. He came to
Cornell after having received the PhD
degree at Harvard in 1909.
Experimenting in his laboratory at the
University of Chicago, Dr. Jacobson has
demonstrated what scientists have long
suspected: that the human brain is nar-
. rowly departmentalized, with certain
limited areas controlling specific functions
of the living body. By means of fine
wires placed for the first time through an
aperture in the skull of a living person,
he found a spot in the gray matter near
the top of the head where increased
electrical activity resulted from but one
action—the closing of the jaws. This
jaw center showed no increase in electrical
current from any other movement
of the body, nor from any kind of
thought, imagination, or memory feat,
Dr. Jacobson reported.
"One thing shown by these studies,"
he said, '' is that a man presumably can,
by relaxing any particular muscle, effect
a relaxation at least in one section of his
brain; namely, the 'center' for that
muscle."
Dr. Jacobson is the author of two important
and pioneer boβks on the relaxation
of nervous tension. The first, Progressive
Relaxation, published in 192.9 by
the University of Chicago Press, is highly
technical and above the receiving capacity
of the average layman.
His second book, You Must Relax,
published in 1934 by Whittlesey House,
covers this highly important field in a
more popular style. It is good news to
the nervously exhausted who cannot be
forever taking trips to shake off the
jitters. In it Jacobson shows the relation
between many of the difficult problems
of the physician, such as the common
nervous and digestive disorders, and the
control of the nervous system by orderly
relaxation of the tense muscles and
nerves. It is a practical handbook for
those afflicted with the simpler disorders.
In his office at 310 Michigan Avenue
in Chicago, Dr. Jacobson has successfully
treated many a difficult case,
PITTSBURGH WOMEN
The Cornell Women's Club of Pittsburgh
on December 14 celebrated its annual
Christmas party for the children of
the members. About thirty women and
children met at the College Club for the
party. Mrs. Charles F. Kells (Mary
Klages) '24 was chairman of the meeting,
assisted by Mrs. Charles A. Carpenter
(Margaret Van Deusen) '09.
AT FRANKLIN AND MARSHAL
Daniel B. Strickler '2.1, attorney-atlaw,
who lives in Lancaster, Pa., was
designated by President Farrand to represent
Cornell at the recent inauguration of
Dr. John A. Schaeffer as president of
Franklin and Marshall College. Strickler
attended all the ceremonies and took part
in the colorful inaugural procession of
gowned college presidents, professors,
and college representatives. He reports
that the courtesies extended to him as
the University's official representative
made apparent the high regard in which
Cornell's standing in the educational
world is held.
MAY HAVE NEW BUILDING
Construction of a new laboratory
building at the Veterinary College for
pathology and bacteriology is forecast in
the annual State budget submitted by
Governor Lehman to the Legislature
January 13. Although requested every
year since 1914, this is the first year that
the item for such a building has appeared
in the Governor's budget. The estimated
cost is $x84,ooo. The building will be
named after the late Dean Veranus A.
Moore '87.
The proposed budget for the fiscal year
beginning July r, 1936 also includes items
for the College of Agriculture of personal
services, $1,136,000, and maintenance
and operation, $608,300; for Home
Economics, personal services, $2.zι,ιoo,
maintenance and operation, $81,500;
equipment, $415,000; for the Veterinary
College, personal services, $107,800.

16 DINNER JANUARY 29
Working to break all records for their
twentieth year reunion next June, including
those established by the Class of
Ίz, the Class of Ί6 will hold a reunion
dinner at the Cornell Club of New York
on January 19. Weyland Pfeiffer, Class
secretary, writes that at least one hundred
are expected. Sixty-five members of
the Class turned out for the last dinner,
in November.
PfeiίFer is a member of the firm of Lloyd
& Co., in Broadway, New York City.
ENGINEERS HONOR ALUMNI
Two Cornellians took office as heads
of the American Society of Civil Engineers
at the eighty-third annual meeting
of the Society, held in New York City,
January 15 to 18.
Daniel W. Mead '84 became president of
the Society, and Harry W. Dennis '99 was
elected a vice-president and took office at
the same meeting.
Just before the meeting it was announced
that Wilson T. Ballard '15,
PWA engineer in Baltimore, Md., had
been awarded the Society's James
Laurie Prize for his paper on "The
Three-Span Continuous-Truss Railroad
Bridge, Cincinnati, Ohio."
Mead is emeritus professor of hydraulic
and sanitary engineering at the University
of Wisconsin, where he was retired
in 1931 with the LLD degree after
twenty-eight years of service. He is also
a consulting engineer on hydraulic works
and public plants, with offices in Madison,
Wis. and New York City, and lives at izo
West Gorham Street, Madison. In addition
to building many municipal water
works and hydro-electric plants, Mead
has served on various public boards and
commissions. In 1914 he was appointed
a member of the Red Cross Commission to
China on flood protection of the Huai
River. In 19x8 he was appointed by
President Coolidge to the Colorado
River Board, to pass upon plans for
the Boulder Canyon project.
Dennis has been since 1916 chief civil
engineer of the Southern California
Edison Company in Los Angeles, where
he has lived since 1909, after practicing
as a hydro-electric engineer in the East.
He is widely known for his engineering
research. Richard W. Dennis '31 is his son.

TELEPHONE MEN
Numbering on its payroll 375 Cornel-
Hans, the Bell System is served by more
alumni of the University than of any
other college. According to Howard L.
Davis, director of technical employment
and training for the New York Telephone
Company, a Bell subsidiary, his company
alone employs 139 of the total. The rest,
Davis says, are with Western Electric, the
Bell Telephone Laboratories, American
Telephone and Telegraph, and other
affiliated concerns.
SIGMA XI SEMI-CENTENNIAL
Sigma Xi, national scientific honor
society with sixty-six chapters in American
colleges and universities, will celebrate
on the Campus, June 19 and zo, the
fiftieth anniversary of its founding at
Cornell in 1886. As a part of the program,
a bronze memorial tablet, provided by
The Society of the Sigma Xi, will be
unveiled on the Campus near Sibley College,
on a commemorative bench and
pedestal which the University will erect.
The program at Ithaca will be sponsored
jointly by The Society of Sigma Xi
and the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, the summer
meeting of which will convene in Rochester
that week. Speakers so far announced
are Dr. Karl T. Compton, president
of Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
Dr. Willis R. Whitney, vicepresident
of the General Electric Company
in charge of research, and Dr.
Frank R. Lillie of the University of
Chicago, chairman of the National Research
Council and president of the
National Academy of Science.
Two semi-centennial research prizes of
$1,000 each will be awarded by the
Society, one to a worker in the physical
sciencies, and one to a worker in the
biological sciences.
Sigma Xi was founded at Cornell in
the fall of 1886 through the efforts of
Frank Van Vleck, then assistant to the
director of Sibley College and instructor
in charge of the Mechanics laboratory,
and William A. Day '86, who had conceived
the idea of a '' scientific Phi Beta
Kappa" the spring before. At about the
same time, Professor Henry Shaler Williams
of the Geology Department had
organized a society of fourteen Geology
students with much the same purposes,
and he prevailed upon Van Vleck and
Day to broaden somewhat their original
idea, and became the first president.
The other founders were William H.
Riley '86, Charles B. Wing '86, Harry E.
Smith '87, John Knickerbacker '87, John
J. Berger '87, Edwin N. Sanderson '87,
and William A. Mosscrop '88. It is
planned to have as many as possible of
these who are still living come back to
Ithaca for the celebration next June.
Professor Floyd K. Richtmyer '04 is
chairman of the local committee on
arrangements.
LYNAH TELLS ATHLETICS STATUS
Five Hundred Alumni at New York Party
Nearly five hundred Cornellians, not
only from New York City and suburbs,
but also a score from more distant points,
attended the reception and dinner last
Thursday sponsored by the Cornell Club
of New York to honor James Lynah '05,
University director of physical education
and athletics, and members of the
Athletics Policy Board.
In the grand ballroom of the Biltmore
Hotel tables seating eight or ten accommodated
groups of friends or classmates,
and everybody joined lustily in the Cornell
songs led by William H. Forbes Ό6
and Edward E. Goodwillie Ίo. It was a
real old-time Cornell party.
Charles H. Blair '97, president of the
Cornell Club of New York and chairman
of the dinner committee, introduced John
T. McGovern 'oo, who was in extra fine
form, as toastmaster of the evening.
Lynah had just returned from a swing
around the alumni circuit, in which he
had discussed the athletic situation at the
University before the Cornell Clubs of
Buffalo, January 10, Detroit, January n,
and Chicago, January 13. As he had done
in those cities, he explained fully and
frankly to the alumni gathered in New
York the conditions now confronting
athletics at Cornell.
$540,000 Plant Cost $28,000
He explained that the University now
owns an athletic plant and equipment
conservatively valued at more than half
a million dollars; and that the total
amount actually appropriated by the
Trustees in all the years of athletics at
Cornell has been but $18,000. Except for
this comparatively small sum, the entire
cost of the plant and all costs of operation
have been paid from athletic
revenues, gifts, and from loans upon
which the University has received a
JAMES LYNAH '05
higher rate of interest than from its
average investments.
"In view of this situation," he said,
" it is only good business for the University
to carry on the sports program and
make full use of its facilities for a year or
two at least, until it can definitely determine
what the revenue will be in normal
times, and which sports can then be
economically carried.
4 4 Schoellkopf Field and Field House,
the Crescent, and the baseball cage are
valued on the University's books at
$465,000. The Johnny Parson Club,
toboggan slide, toboggan house, boathouses,
football coach's residence, improvements
on the playing fields, and
equipment are inventoried at $75,000
more. This makes a total of $540,000 in
real estate and equipment which the University
now owns.
"Renovation, repainting, and improvement
of sanitary conditions at Schoellkopf,
repairs to the toboggan slide, and
improvements at the boathouse, undertaken
since last fall, have put the entire
plant in about eighty-five percent perfect
condition.
1 ' For the construction of the Crescent
the Athletic Association paid $70,000
cash and borrowed at six percent from the
University $100,000, of which $85,000
has now been repaid. In 1934 the Trustees
authorized a loan of $35,000, at five percent;
so that athletics now owes the University
$150,000.
"In the twelve years beginning in
19x4, however, the Athletic Association
had paid the University $94,500 in interest
and more than $31,000 for heat of its
buildings. The only money appropriated
by the University for the support of
athletics at Cornell is $18,000 last year,
to continue the sports program to August
*> I935-
Must Maintain Sports
"Adequate provision for sports and
recreation is an essential part of a university's
function. The students demand it.
If income from fees and intercollegiate
athletics is not sufficient, in the long run,
to support them, then of course some
sports must be dropped, or their cost met
by others means.
4 ' Cornell has an adequate athletic plant,
obtained at a cost to the University
ridiculously small. A business organization
in that situation would certainly
operate its plant through a period of decreased
income such as we are now having,
for the larger return that it might
reasonably expect when times improve.
It would defer decision as to serious curtailment
until normal conditions could
be ascertained. It is to be hoped that the
University Trustees will so consider the.
athletic situation at Cornell."

Lynah said that as director of physical
education and athletics, he had found the
Faculty almost universally interested and
reasonable toward athletics.
"It is true," he said, "that Faculty
members insist on maintaining academic
standards for athletes, as for every other
student. I wouldn't want them to feel
otherwise. It is our responsibility, not
the Faculty's, to help members of our
teams avoid probation. But I have
found the Faculty generally interested
and quite willing to help us in every
reasonable way."
Lynah's only reference to the coaching
situation at the University was to say
that he had beefi ascertaining the sentiment
of alumni and undergraduates as to
the coaching staff; and that '' so far as I
am concerned, we shall have at Cornell
in all coaching positions men of strong
character who can inspire and build into
the men under them something that is
going to last into the rest of their lives."
J. DuPratt White '90, vice-chairman
of the University Board of Trustees,
urged the importance of selecting properly
qualified persons as Alumni Trustees
of the University, and expressed himself
as favoring a plan of geographical representation
on the Board.
Professor Herman Diederichs '97, chairman
of the Athletic Policy Board, and
George R. Pfann '2.4, Trustee and a
member of the Board, spoke briefly.
Romeyn Berry '04, director of intercollegiate
athletics, said that although a
formal Eastern athletic conference was
impossible, there is general agreement
among the colleges and universities with
whom Cornell competes in most sports,
that amateur standards should be upheld.
ENJOY OLD MOVIES
Forcefully and graphically, the audience
which saw the first program of
"movies" from the film library of the
Museum of Modern Art, given in the
Willard Straight Theatre January n, was
reminded of the tremendous improvements
which even the last twenty-five years
have brought to the screen.
The climax of the evening was the
death of Queen Elizabeth, as played by
Sarah Bernhardt in the film of that name,
made in 1911. The queen, with many
gestures, dramatically falls on her face
to a huge pile of pillows arranged before
her, and then reappears for a curtain call,
bowing and smiling, in the last scene
of the picture.
The entire program was good fun, and
thoroughly enjoyed, from the gruesome
1894 "flicker" of the beheading of a
dummy representing Mary, Queen of
Scots, through the fanciful "Trip to the
Moon," made by Melies in 1901, "The
Great Train Robbery" of 1903, and the
Pathe version of "Faust," produced in
1905. Piano music reminiscent of the old
"Vaudettes" accompanied the pictures.
A program of "Westerns," the first of
the series of memorable American films,
given January 18, featured "The Covered
Wagon" and a William S. Hart picture,
"The Last Card," made in 1914. The
next showing will be of four memorable
comedies, February 10.

ANNOUNCE FELLOWSHIPS
Harvard University has announced
that fellowships will be awarded next
fall for a three-year course in the new
Graduate School of Public Administration
made possible by the recent gift of
$x,ooo,ooo from Lucius N. Littauer.
Amounting to a maximum of $1,500 a
year, the fellowships are open to college
graduates between the ages of 18 and 2.4.
The first year will be spent at Harvard,
the second year in field work away from
the university, and the third in integrating
the theory and practice of public
service. The courses are designed to train
for positions in Federal and state legislative,
trade association, and public

MOAKLEY AND CORNELL TRACK ATHLETICS
By John R. Bangs, Jr. '21, Assistant Coach and Professor of Administrative Engineering
Last month John F. Moakley celebrated his
seventy-second birthday (December n). This
is his thirty-seventh season as track coach at
Cornell, where he has been the friend of literally
thousands of Cornellians.
The ALUMNI NEWS is privileged to publish
herewith the first of a series of articles in
which Professor Bangs tells Moakley's own
story of his life, his methods, and the Cornell
track men he has trained. Unfortunately, because
of space limitations, we can only briefly
summarize the story that Professor Bangs is
writing. It is to be hoped that his series of
intimate talks with Jack Moakley may later
attain book form in their entirety.
Professor Bangs asks that former track men
and others who read the ALUMNI NEWS
articles as they appear send him corrections,
additions, and interesting incidents that may
help to make the story of track at Cornell complete
and accurate.
All such communications, and reservations
for his book if and when published, will gladly
be forwarded to Professor Bangs if addressed to
the ALUMNI NEWS.
No teacher or leader of men anywhere
has a more devoted, loyal, enthusiastic
following than Jack Moakley. Whenever
alumni return to Ithaca, no man is more
sought after; none gets a warmer greeting.
At Cornell Thirty-Seven Years
Coach, counsellor, and friend of Cornellians
for thirty-seven years, he has
devoted the best part of his life not only
to building winning Cornell track and
cross-country teams, but to the development
of men. Stuffed into the pigeon
holes of his old roll-top desk at home are
literally hundreds of letters and telegrams
which come to him continuously
from former members of his teams in
every quarter of the globe. The men who
have worked under Jack have learned to
value his coaching highly, but his
friendship even more.
Tonight, seated in his study, Jack
reminisces of how he became a coach,
and of his coming to Cornell.
"I had prepared at the Boston Latin
School to enter Harvard," he says,
flicking the ash from his ever-present
stogie, "but my father's death made it
necessary to give up the idea of a college
education. I became a reporter and sports
writer for the Boston Post and Boston
Journal. Always interested in running, I
made it a hobby to study the running
style of every famous performer I had
opportunity to watch in action.
"I ran several good half miles, a couple
of fair miles, and took up cross-country
running when I was twenty-eight years
old. Cross-country -has always had a
peculiar fascination for me, and I took
part in many races, not only in New
England, but also for the old Manhattan
Athletic Club in New York.
"About 1893, when I had hung up my
spikes, I was appointed the official
handicapper for the New England
Amateur Athletic Union. During the
eight years that I held that position, I
came in contact with many fine youngsters
who were anxious to learn the game,
as well as many seasoned athletes who
competed all over the country.
One of my activities was to organize
and promote outdoor athletic carnivals,
which were then very popular. In these
it was customary to have two separate
meets: one for amateurs and one for professionals.
From my wide acquaintance
with athletes all over the country, I
learned many valuable lessons that were
to stand me in good stead when I later
took up coaching as a profession.
Becomes Track Adviser
"Soon, through my many connections
with the sport, I found myself a sort of a
gratuitous adviser, not only to young
men who were about to break into the
game, but also to seasoned campaigners
who were preparing to compete in the

big time. My advice was entirely voluntary,
for I had no idea of taking up
coaching professionally, because I was
engaged in newspaper work and looked
upon my activities in athletics merely as
an interesting and absorbing hobby."
Reading the tattered, yellowed newspaper
clippings of the early nineties
which Jack has saved, I was able to
piece together some of the details of his
own early prowess as a runner, and of
the records of the men he trained.
Jack Moakley started to run in the
days of Dan O'Leary, Weston, and
Charlie Rowell, the English champion.
As a member of the Union Athletic Club
of Boston, he was the only amateur, besides
the Harvard runners, who trained at
Beacon Park, where came the professional
runners from New England mill
towns and the best of others from all
parts of the country, to train for their
races. Evert Wendell and Wendell Baker
worked out there, and the latter made his
great record of 47! seconds for the 440yard
straightaway in that Park. Jack
tells many interesting stories of the
bizarre training methods and superstitions
of those days, and of the great
secrecy these professionals maintained.
Best New England Half-Miler
In his thirteen years of active running,
Moakley came to be known as the best
amateur half-miler in New England,
doing the distance regularly in two
minutes. He also had a creditable record
as a sprinter, and won many honors in
the longer runs. From the famous distance
men of the day he learned much,
and he early recognized the deficiencies
of college distance runners.
He became so successful in cross-country
that in 1892. he was called upon by
the old Manhattan Athletic Club of
New York City to organize a crosscountry
team to represent the Club in the
national championships at Morris Park.
Of that team of seven, including himself,
five finished in the first six of 150 starters.
Jack Moakley kept his team together
throughout the race, and came up with a
burst of speed to finish third.
Two of his teams from the Dorchester
Athletic Club won the New England
cross-country championship. He coached
A. L. Wright of Brown, who won the
A.A.U. cross-country championship in
1898, defeating the famous George
Orton, Cregan, Alex Grant, and other
leading runners.
I am frequently asked, "Why has Cornell
achieved such outstanding success in
cross-country—seventeen intercollegiate
team championships (ten in consecutive
years, 1901 to 1911), ten individual intercollegiate
champions, and the intercollegiate
low-scoring record?" My answer

140 CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS
is the unusual combination that was
formed when Jack Moakley, by all odds
the greatest coach of distance runners,
took charge of our promising squad of
runners in the fall of 1899 to form a team
and foster a spirit for distance running
that has never been equalled.
Among Jack's early proteges were
Frank Quinlan of Harvard, who won the
loo-yard dash in ten seconds in the
Harvard-Yale, Oxford-Cambridge meet
in 1898, Tom Burke, and Berney Wefers.
Burke easily won the loo-meter dash and
the 4oo-meters at the first of the
modern Olympiac games in 1896, 'and
Wefers, whom Jack calls the most consistent
sprinter he has ever known, ran
the hundred in 9^ seconds more than
thirty times. At a British-American meet
in 1895 at Travers Island, he easily won
the loo-yard and 2-xo-yard dashes, and
the next year, running for Georgetown,
he established an intercollegiate mark of
2.1 ^£ seconds for the 2.2.0 that remained a
record for many years.
"Burke and Wefers competed all over
this country and abroad," Jack resumed.
"They brought me many stories of the
lack of proper training methods, and
urged me to devote all my time to coaching.
With their urging, and being so
intimately associated with . the best
amateur and professional athletes of
that time, I became convinced that
training, as it was then known, offered a
real opportunity for a life's work.
Jones '13 Greatest Runner
"It certainly gives one a feeling of
great satisfaction to take a man with
little or no experience, or one with a
defective style, work with him day in
and day out, and finally see him blossom
into an intercollegiate point winner or
perhaps a champion. When John Paul
Jones, whom I believe to be the greatest
runner I have ever developed, first came
to Cornell, a vision flashed before my
eyes—a vision of John Paul Jones as a
finished runner. And John and I plugged
away for four long years to make that
vision a reality. In much the same way I
conceived a picture of Tel Berna. You see,
many times a coach forms a mental picture
of a runner as he thinks he ought to
be, and then works with him to bring
him up to the perfection of that vision."
"How and why did you happen to
come to Cornell," I asked.
"Well," replied Jack with characteristic
modesty,'' there isn't really much of
a story to it. You see, I had done some
coaching at Tufts College, Brown, University
of Maine, and the University of
Wisconsin, mostly while I was still New
England handicapper. I hadn't really
taken up coaching seriously, but was employed
at Wisconsin in the spring of
1899, and was going back in the fall,
when I received the offer to come to
Ithaca.
"In those days, Dr. Benjamin Ide
Wheeler, professor of Greek at Cornell
and later president of the University of
California, was very influential in the
Cornell Athletic Association. He occupied
much the same position in undergraduate
athletic activities as Professor
Diederichs does today. In 1896 Professor
Wheeler was a judge at the Olympiac
games in Athens, where he was much
impressed with the performances of the
American athletes. He met and talked
with Tom Burke and others, and resolved
that upon his return to Ithaca,
Cornell too should gain prominence in
track and field athletics. He realized,
however, that first he must obtain someone
to act as coach who was thoroughly
familiar with all branches of the sport.
Jack Comes to Ithaca
"I can't be sure of everything that
took place here in Ithaca, of course, but
finally, through Dr. Wheeler's influence
I believe, track manager Al Haines came
to Boston and sought an interview with
me. He made me an offer which I accepted,
and I headed for Ithaca in the
fall of 1899 to take up my first work at
Cornell—that of building a winning
cross-country team. Really that is all
there is to the story of my coming to
Ithaca. You might write to Al Haines
for the story from the Ithaca end."
And this I received from J. Allen
Haines '99:
" . . .1 was authorized by the Athletic
Council to find a new coach, but was advised
that we could not afford to pay—
I think the sum was over $2.00 a month,
or it may have been $2.50—for a new
coach. In those days the manager of the
team had to raise all the money personally;
we could not 'tap the till' of
the football or any other athletic funds.
4 ' I wrote to a number of track coaches
of other colleges, who, of course, turned
me down promptly, almost laughing at
the amount we could offer. Among
others was the coach of the Boston Athletic
Club track team, which was quite
famous in those days. In the summer of
1899 I went to Boston and saw this
coach. He told me that he could not
afford to come to Cornell for this sum of
money, but he said there was a great
young chap by the name of Jack Moakley
who had coached at Brown, Tufts, and
several others of the smaller colleges in
New England; that Moakley was a great
long distance runner; and that if I got in
touch with the sporting editor of the
Boston Journal, I would not only be
able to see the cups and medals that this
coach had won, but would have an opportunity
of meeting him.
" As a result, I met Jack Moakley and
was deeply impressed with him. As I
was empowered by the Athletic Council
to hire a coach without referring the
matter to them, I hired him on the spot.
I am frank to say, as you can gather from
the amount I was to pay per month, that
notwithstanding what I thought of
Jack, it was a question of getting the
best possible person I could for the small
amount I could pay. As a result, that fall
(1899) Jack came to Cornell and the rest
you know yourself, except that he took
our very inferior track team in hand
promptly, and built it up from nothing to
where, as I remember, it gained permanent
possession of the Intercollegiate
cup by winning five intercollegiate track
and field championships."
In the next of this series of intimate chats
with Jack Moakley, which will appear in a
forthcoming issue of the ALUMNI NEWS, Professor
Bangs gives Moakley's story of his
early days at Cornell.
NEW HEALTH GUIDANCE
Changes designed both to improve the
general health of students in the University
and to give Seniors a complete
health survey that will enable them to
maintain good health after they leave
college are reported this year by Dr.
Webb York, acting medical adviser of
the University.
The new plan, put into effect last fall,
makes voluntary for Sophomores and
Juniors the annual physical examination
formerly required of all students.
Each student upon entering the University
is required as before to undergo a
thorough health examination and a
careful record is kept of each. Only in
those cases, however, where this examination
indicates the need of periodic examinations
or where subsequent consultations
show such need, are Sophomores
and Juniors required to have examinations.
Instead, the staff of eight men and
three women physicians of the Department
of Hygiene and Preventive Medicine
have instituted a continuous follow-up
service designed to assist all students in
correcting health habits and conditions
which this examination and later consultations
show to be defective. Individual
records are kept of each student
in the University, and each is assisted
not only to correct physical defects and
inherent weaknesses but also to make
satisfactory personal adjustment physically,
mentally, and emotionally to his
university experience.
Then each Senior, before he leaves the
University, is given a very thorough
health examination, with an analysis and
evaluation of his past health record,
present health status, and a health program
for the future, with any necessary
advice as to vocation with reference to
health. One copy of this complete health
inventory is given to the Senior and another
is kept by the Medical Office.
Another feature of the new plan is the
requirement of a special "athletic"
examination of all students who take
part in any sports, including intramurals,
instead of only those who participate in
intercollegiate athletics, as formerly.
From the three months that it has been

JANUARY 2.3, 1936 241
operating, the medical staff is enthusiastic
about the new plan, its follow-up
work having helped many students to
make definite progress in remedying a
great variety of physical ailments and
defects. Dr. York reports that a desire is
being created in the individual student to
look after his health, and that many are
now being given information that will
enable them to do so intelligently, not
only while they are on the Campus, but
after they leave the University.
It is planned also to check up the health
of each graduate of the University after
ten years, and already the reports from
members of the Classes of '13, '2.4, and
'2.5 are coming in. Under the direction of
Dr. Adrian Gould, studies are being
instituted of the ten-year changes in
health of former students. These studies
will be of great assistance to the staff.
The report of the medical adviser disclosed
that the health of Cornell students
during the academic year 1934-35
was improved generally over previous
years, although, as in most colleges, it is
found that health habits still become
progressively worse during the students'
four years at college. At Cornell, as elsewhere,
students sleep less, smoke more,
exercise less, and use more coffee each
year from the time they enter as Freshmen.
The Medical Office was called upon
2.3,483 times during the year, and gave
5,053 physical examinations. The 1,367
compulsory tuberculin tests or chest
X-ray examinations now given to entering
students are credited with the
negligible number of cases of tuberculosis
found, and for the first time in several
years no social diseases were observed
among students by the medical staff.
Dr. York reports progress in the program
of mental hygiene of the Department,
various important medical studies
being carried on by staff members, and
that the plan of investigating possible
medical causes, twice each term, of students
whose University grades are low
is bringing excellent results.
NEW PLACEMENT SERVICE
Enlarging its service to alumni, the
University Placement Bureau has announced
that it will henceforth send its
bulletins listing jobs open to any Cornellian
who requests them. Bulletins are
issued on the average of about two a
month. Heretofore, their distribution has
been limited to members of placement
committees in Cornell Clubs and other
alumni who have worked with the
Bureau in helping to place Cornellians.
Now any alumnus who needs a job or
wishes to better his position may obtain
the service without charge. Subscribers
will receive the bulletins for six months,
and may renew for similar periods upon
request. Names and addresses should be
sent to Herbert H. Williams '2.5, Director,
University Placement Bureau,
Willard Straight Hall, Ithaca.

BEAT DARTMOUTH 36-34
With a whirlwind attack that totally
surprised the League-leading Dartmouth
five, the Varsity basketball team won at
Hanover Saturday night, 36-34, the first
game Dartmouth had lost on its home
court.
Robert McDonald '38 of Waterbury,
Conn, led both teams in scoring, with
seven shots from the floor. With Doering
and Charles E. Dykes '36, who was playing
for the first time this year, he kept
the Cornell basket so well guarded that
the Dartmouth players seldom got a close
shot that went home. Not until the second
half was Dartmouth able to make a
showing at all, when a rejuvenated Green
team succeeded in tieing the score at 31-
31 with two minutes to play. At this
point Thomas A. Rich '38 of Hobart
saved the day for Cornell with two
accurate foul shots and another from the
floor. The box score:

opponent in the Drill Hall next Saturday,
has lost both games played.
WRESTLERS WIN EASILY
Following the University wrestling
championship matches January 15, a
somewhat reshuffled Varsity wrestling
team had no difficulty in defeating
Queen's University, 2.8^-1 J^, in the Drill
Hall Saturday night before a crowd
estimated at 500. The Canadians were
handicapped by unfamiliarity with the
American rules, by not having a con-
36
testant in the n8-pound class, and by
their captain, Thomas, being overweight,
causing them to forfeit 10 points in the
two lighter events. Not until the final
heavyweight bout, in which Wallace
Spelman '37 of Canastota, University
175-pound champion, fought to a draw
in two extra periods against his heavier
opponent, did Queen's score at all.
In an exhibition match in the 1x5pound
class, Charles Mosher '38 of
Ithaca, University champion new to the
squad, pinned his overweight opponent,
Captain Thomas, with a body press in
7:15. The only other fall was scored by
Thomas Ross, Jr. '36 of Doylestown, Pa.
in the i75~pound class, who threw his
opponent with a half-nelson and crotch
hold in 4:10.
The 135-pound bout was won on time
advantage of 9:18 by Paul Hartsch '37 of
Brooklyn, defeated for University champion
in that class by John Floros '36 of
Ithaca, who took his Queen's opponent
in the 145-pound class with a time advantage
01*9:41. Kenneth Smith '37, another
newcomer to the squad, who had
been defeated for the University 155pound
championship by Frederick F.
Reimers '39 of Hammond, La., battled in
that class in the absence of Captain
George Brownell '36, busy with Law
examinations, and won his match with a
time advantage of 4:19. In the 165-pound
class Harry Smith '38 of Buenos Aires,
new University champion, gained time
advantage of 812.9 over his opponent.
In the University championship
matches earlier in the week, Ervio A.
Makarainen, Sp. defeated Milton S.
Baker '38 of Watertown, last year's
Freshman captain, in the 145-pound class,
with a last-minute fall just before the end
of a second extra period. John C. Hemingway
of Syracuse, guard on last fall's
Freshman football team, won the heavyweight
championship with a fall from
Manning.
BOXERS DEFEAT QUEENS
The boxing team opened its home
season in the Drill Hall Saturday afternoon
before a crowd of 500, defeating
Queen's University, 5 J^-x^. Three bouts
were called by the referee, Professor
Frederick G. Marcham, English History,
to score as technical knockouts. Two of
these were administered by Cornellians,
David Cramer '36 of Utica in the 155pound
class, and Irving A. Jenkins '37 of
New York City in the unlimited class;
and one was scored against Kermit Goell
'36 of Brooklyn boxing in the 135-pound
class, of which Moses L. Goldbas, Freshman
brother of Coach Jacob I. Goldbas
'34, is University champion.
Former Mayor Louis P. Smith of Ithaca
was timekeeper and the present Mayor,
Joseph B. Myers, and Fitch H. Stephens
'05 acted as judges. Harrison L. Goodman
*x6, Engineering, announced the
bouts. The summary:

ιi5-pound class: Torregrosa, Cornell, won a
decision over Bell.
ιi5-pound class: Tausig, Cornell, and Smolking,
fought to a draw.

SKIIERS MEET DARTMOUTH
Last week it was announced that
George J. Mundt, graduate student in
German, had been appointed the first
official coach of skiing at the University.
Born in Germany, he learned to ski in the
mountains of southern Germany, Austria,
and Switzerland, and lived two years in
Sweden. At Dartmouth, where he received
the AB degree in 1933, he was an
assistant coach of skiing, and last year
volunteered as unofficial coach of the
Varsity Ski Club.
On Friday and Saturday, the ski team
met a team from Dartmouth in the hills'
beyond Caroline for the second time in
as many years, and scored 2.78 in the three
events to 300 for the visitors. A team
from Penn State also entered the meet
unofficially, and scored 1x3.1.
The eleven-kilometer langlauf on Friday
was won by Cooke of Dartmouth in
69 minutes 19 seconds, with Carl-Eric
Bέve '39 of Stockholm, Sweden, the first
Cornell man to finish, in 79:1. Saturday's
slalom race was captured by Wells, Dartmouth,
with Verner F. Ogi '37 of Webster
placing fourth. In the half-mile
downhill race Millet G. Morgan '37 of
Hanover, N. H. took first place, with
Joslyn A. Smith '38 of Westmount,
Canada, breaking a ski but finishing on
one runner to help Cornell in the scoring.
Medals provided by Harry N. Gordon
' 15 were awarded to Wells of Dartmouth
for high meet score and to Cooke and Ogi,
who were tied in points and drew for
second.
1936 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
The football schedule for 1936, announced

17 it plays Syracuse at Ithaca; October
24, Penn State at Ithaca; October 31,
Columbia in New York City; November
14, Dartmouth at Ithaca; and November
2.6, Pennsylvania at Philadelphia.
HOCKEY TEAM TIES UNION
A January thaw Saturday morning left
Beebe Lake ice in poor condition for the
season's first hockey game that afternoon,
with Union. Nevertheless, with
only a week of practice behind them, the
Varsity acquitted themselves well and
tied the score at 3-3 when the two
Dugans, Howard D. '36 and David D.
'37, sons of William J. Dugan '07, shot
the puck into the net in rapid succession
five minutes before the end of the game,
to bring their team even with the visitors.
Coach Nick Bawlf used two complete
sets of forwards in the first two periods.
Glen S. Guthrie '37 of Ithaca, although
he did not score, handled the puck excellently
and showed dextrous stick work
in stealing it often from the Union
players. William J. Simpson '37 of Larchmont
made the first and only score of the
first period, and Hawley of the visitors
the only one in the second. Then one by
Bergmann and another by Hawley early
in the third put Union ahead, 3-1, to stay
until the Dugan brothers got loose.

COLGATE DOWNS SWIMMERS
With three records shattered by Colgate
in the Hamilton pool Saturday
night, the Varsity swimmers lost to the
undefeated Colgate team, 13-58.
The only Cornell winner was Elmer F.
Spicer of Schenectady, a newcomer who
appeared for practice the first time when
the new pool in the Old Armory was
opened January 15. He won the loo-yard
free style race at Hamilton in 1:01.8.
Second places were taken by Norman
H. Rasch '37 of Buffalo in the zoo-yard
breast stroke, against Blackledge, who
set a new record of 1:45.z; anc
* by the
44o-yard relay team, against whom Cap-
CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS
tain Wagner of Colgate set a new mark of
54 seconds for 100 yards. Swimming for
the Varsity in this event were Frank P.
Hill '38 of Forest Hills, Walter P. Naquin
'38 of Kukuihaele, Hawaii, another newcomer;
William M. Weil '37 of Brooklyn,
and Howard T. Critchlow, Jr. '36 of
Trenton, N. J. Marshall P. Hoke '38, who
was one of the quartet last week, was ill.
Five third places completed the Cornell
scoring: Robert T. Brunton '37 of Kenmore
in the no-yard free style race;
Spicer in the 50-yard free style; Critchlow
in diving; Leonard M. Rosenblume '38
of Brooklyn in the 440-yard free style,
won by Nichols of Colgate, who lowered
the record to 512.6.9; and Donald R. Hassel
'36 of Scarsdale in the 150-yard back
stroke race.
Hill had the honor of being the first
swimmer to enter the new pool after it
opened. For the present, until a new
chlorinator arrives, the pool is being
used only by members of the swimming
squad. When the new apparatus is installed
swimming and the services of
Coach Little as instructor will be available
to undergraduates generally.
YEAR-END STATEMENTS
Among the year-end summaries of
conditions in 1935 and predictions for
1936 from business and industrial leaders
which appeared in Metropolitan newspapers,
are several from Cornellians.
Myron C. Taylor '94, chairman of the
board of the United States Steel Corporation,
noted that his industry had experienced
substantial recovery, which he
expects to continue, and that "we must
be willing to rely upon our own resources
and not depend upon Government to
solve all our economic ills."
Neal Dow Becker '05, president of the
Intertype Company, looks for further
improvement in domestic business of his
concern during 1936, but says that the
pre-depression volume of business is not
likely to be attained either in 1936 or
immediately thereafter. "The best thing
the Government can do is to stop passing
'new deal' laws."
John W. O'Leary '99, president of the
Machinery and Allied Products Institute,
sees the investment of private funds as the
key to improvement in the capital goods
industries for this year.
Savings banks, according to Henry
Bruere '02., president of the Bowery Savings
Bank, look confidently for a return
of stability in real estate "with more
confidence in the earning power of property
and clearer prospect of better
values."
Although power use increased greatly
during 1935, George O. Muhlfeld '97,
president of Stone & Webster, Inc., does
not look for greatly increased expenditures
for construction and machinery replacement
on the part of the public
utilities in 1936, because of "drastic and

JANUARY 2-3 , 1936 243
destructive Federal regulation and
Government competition. *'
Earl D. Babst '94, chairman of the
board of the American Sugar Refining
Co., is quoted as saying that under the
AAA plan of a Federal subsidy to
growers, sugar producers had a comparatively
good year and domestic cane
sugar refiners a poor year.
Douglas G. Woolf '12., of Textile
World, reported that mills in 1935 had
used more than fifteen percent more raw
materials than in 1934; "the improvement
should extend into 1936." Charles
K. McDermut, Jr. Ί6, of Dry Goods
Economist, looks for spring business in
department stores to be good for several
months, but thereafter,' * business will be
much harder to get" unless there is
marked increase in employment.
In a New York Times symposium on
the possibilities for television, Lawrence
E. Gubb Ί6, president of the Philco
Radio and Television Corporation, is
quoted as saying that commercial television,
in spite of rumors to the contrary,
is not near at hand, and will not be
realized in 1936. For four years, he says,
Philco research department has been
working intensively on all phases of
television, but before it can be made
commercially possible, much is still to
be done in field testing, the arrangement
of program sources, standardization of
transmission, and the development of
satisfactory television receivers.
In the field of sports, Alan J. Gould '2.1,
sports editor of the Associated Press,
names six champions whose chances of
holding their titles in 1936 he thinks are
doubtful. They are Wilmer Allison,
national singles tennis champion; Luigi
Becalli, Olympic i5oo-meter title holder;
James J. Braddock, heavyweight boxer;
John H. Lewis, light heavyweight fistic
title holder; Buddy Myer, American
League batting record holder; and Samuel
M. Parks, Jr., national golf champion.
1935 GARDEN BOOKS
Evaluating some of the garden books
published during 1935, * n the New York
Times, Elizabeth G. Hall, librarian of
the Horticultural Society of New York,
places first the new edition of The Standard
Cyclopedia of Horticulture, by Dr.
Liberty Hyde Bailey, professor emeritus
of Agriculture and former dean of the
College. Next mentioned is a revised
edition of Hortus, compiled by Dr.
Bailey and his daughter, Ethel Zoe
Bailey, 'n. Grad.

BOOKS
By Cornellians
POEMS BY MISS HARKNESS
Holy Flame. By Georgia Harkness Ίi.
Boston. Bruce Humphries, Inc. 1935.
96 pages. $1.15.
Although a fine sincerity and religiosity
pervade this book of poems by
Georgia Harkness, a certain primness, a
smug complacence, at once classify them
as a minor product. Head of the department
of philosophy at Elmira College
and an ordained minister as well, Miss
Harkness writes authoritatively about
her God. And yet, for all his "radiance,"
this God of Miss Harkness's is a pallid
God indeed. He disappoints because of
his easy attainability. Thus Miss Harkness's
poetry lacks that burning zeal of
"the soul a thirst," that pent fire of the
true mystic. One fails to see in them the
yearning of a Juan de la Cruz, the tremendously
motivating force of a Theresa
de Avila, or that cosmic curiosity which
guided the brush of El Greco. Instead,
they are attenuated, placid, conventional.
They are written by one who, in
her search for perfection, is already
emotionally satisfied.
For all these deficiencies, however,
Miss Harkness writes with delicate
sensitiveness, inspiring faith, and imagi
nation. She is especially successful with
one or two poems in which God is not
mentioned even once. These are little,
animated nature fancies almost Japanese
in their sprightly quality and in their
love for the beauty that is unpretentious.
THE MIDDLE AGES
Mediaeval History: Europe from the
Fourth to the Sixteenth Century. By
Professor Carl Stephenson, History. New
York City. Harper & Brothers. 1935. 797
pages. $4.50.
More than one hundred universities
and colleges have adopted Professor
Stephenson's treatise on the Middle Ages
as a textbook. In doing so they show excellent
discrimination. It is, by all odds,
the best work of its kind which has ever
come to the attention to this reviewer.
At last the student who is not a scholar
finds in this latest record of the Age of
Faith exactly what he has been looking
for. With the art of a practised storyteller,
Professor Stephenson has refined
the weighty research of centuries, compressing
it into an informative, clearly
told, neatly organized account which,
unlike so many of its predecessors, sustains
a pace at times almost dramatic. In
short, the book is an example of scholarship
artistically presented.
Because of this felicitous exposition,
the chronicle is not a mere calendar of
facts. It is, rather, a composite record of
human trends which, in the end, forms a
unified and illuminating commentary on
human behavior.
In one aspect, at least, the book is unusual.
It generously illustrates its many
topics with excerpts from source material
and with direct quotations. This method
naturally gives to the account not only a
certain solidity, but also a richness of
color and an informality which make the
interested student closely and intimately
allied with his subject. Thus the function
of the intermediary, the author, is
minimized.
The earlier portion of the book is
particularly good. Nowhere has this reviewer
ever found a better-told, more
coherent account of those barbarian infiltrations
which caused the collapse of
imperial Rome. The historian's compendium
of the Byzantine Empire, too,
is a masterpiece of selection and composition.
One particular element calling for approval
is the author's studied impartiality;
his admirable lack of bias. Ordinarily,
the field is a controversial one;
more so, perhaps, than any other period
in human history. Heretofore, too many
secular historians have allowed subconscious
(or shall we say conscious?)
prejudices to temper their appraisals.
This is conspicuously absent in Professor
Stephenson's treatise. It represents no
school. It is a masterpiece of detachment.
MAYFLIES
The Biology of Mayflies. By Professor
James G. Needham, PhD '98, Entomology
and Limnology; Dr. Jay R. Traver Ί8,
Honorary Fellow in Entomology; and
Yin-Chi Hsu, PhD '3X, Professor of Zoology
at Yenching University, Peiping,
China. Ithaca, N. Y. Comstock Publishing
Company. 1935. xvi+759 pages.
$7 5°
Professor Needham, in his prefatory
note, characterizes this as "only a beginning
of the study of this long neglected
order." From its distinguished authorship,
however, and from the fact that its
preparation was supported by a grant-inaid
from the Carnegie Institution, one
may be sure that the book is of true
scientific importance. It is profusely illustrated
with drawings and photographs,
and has a frontispiece showing
seven species in color.
Although long known to the fisherman,
who has given them his own names,
and even "invented effigies of them for
his hook," the peculiar and interesting
habits of these "fragile insects of singularly
elegant form . . . have received
scant attention from collectors. ..."
The first life histories of Mayflies were
worked out in the Adirondacks by Professor
Needham and Dr. Cornelius
Betten, who is now Dean of the University
Faculty and Director of Resident Instruction
in Agriculture and Home Economics.
A long list of graduate students

2-44
of the Department of Entomology are
credited with work used in the preparation
of this volume, the first being Dr.
Ann H. Morgan Ό6.
MANY USE STRAIGHT HALL
All students in the University are
members of Willard Straight Hall. They
pay five dollars a term with their University
fees for this privilege, and the annual
budget of the Hall is met principally
from these dues, there being no endowment.
Members of the Faculty, officer^ of
administration, and alumni who live in
Ithaca become members at the same cost.
Membership dues for non-resident alumni
are three dollars a year.
The Director's report for last year
records continuous use of the building by
almost the entire University community.
A count made during six days of a typical
week in March, 1935, showed that 10,566
persons entered the Hall during the
period, of whom more than half were
served in the dining rooms or the soda
bar. During the week fifty-seven different
organizations made use of the activities
rooms which are available on two floors
of the buildings as headquarters for the
various student organizations.
The board of managers each year
authorizes a statement of operations,
supplementing the detailed financial report
published in the report of the University
Comptroller. The following is
from the statement for the past year:
"During the fiscal year ending June 30,
1935, the dining room operations of
Willard Straight Hall showed a deficit of
$3,810.55.
"From an operating standpoint, the
dining room and the other departments of
the Hall run as separate units. It has
never been the policy to make up losses in
one department by drawing from other
departments.
"The cost of the building, erected ten
years ago, was approximately $1,500,000.
It was estimated that a minimum of
$10,000 a year should be set aside for
major repairs and depreciation. Until
1930-31 it had been impossible to follow
that policy. On June 30, 1935, the
balance of the income over expenditures
for the year 1934-35, which amounted to
$9,750.15 (exclusive of the dining room
department), was put into this fund for
repairs and depreciation.
4
' Willard Straight Hall has no endowment.
It is not financed in any degree by
the University. The principle under
which the Hall was opened in November
1915, and under which it has been administered
ever since, is that the building
must be self-supporting, expenses of
maintenance and operations to be met
from income.
"The financial statement of the fiscal
year as it appears in the annual report of
the Comptroller of the University shows
that the main source of income is from
membership. In 1934-35 this amounted to
$51,140.75 from students in regular session,
and $4,811.50 from the Summer
Session, $651.50 from memberships of
Faculty and resident alumni, $2.76 from
memberships of non-resident alumni.
"The seventeen sleeping rooms and the
dormitory showed a gross income of
$9,894.15, from which amount must be
deducted the cost of maintenance and upkeep.
The sale of candy and tobacco
showed a credit balance of $1,146.03;
the game room (billiards), $665.65; the
barber shop, $395.34.
"In the University Theatre a charge is
made for each performance at which
there are admission fees. This charge
does not completely cover the overhead
cost of heat, light, and janitor service of
the theatre.
"Although the figures cannot be included
in a financial statement showing
income and expenditures of the Hall, it
is of interest to note that during the year
approximately $36,000 worth of tickets
for the Cornell Dramatic Club, the Athletic
Association, and many other organizations
were on sale at the main
desk. In some years this figure has run as
high as $50,000."
PALMER IN CHICAGO
Archie M. Palmer Ί8, executive secretary
of The Cornellian Council, was
scheduled to be the guest of the Cornell
Club of Chicago at its regular Thursday
. luncheon January 13 in MandeΓs restaurant.
DR. WYLIE IN CALIFORNIA
The Cornell Women's Club of Northern
California met for luncheon December 14
at the home of Mrs. Nairne F. Ward
(Janet Nundy) Ί6. Luncheon was served
by Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Howard J.
Stover (Marion L. Mann) '30. Dr.
Margaret Wylie, Home Economics, was
the guest at the meeting and told of
Martha Van Rensselaer Hall and the
activities therein, including her own
work in family life, parent education,
the nursery school, and experimentation
on sound films with little children.

JUNIOR WEEK PROGRAM
"Oh, What a Night! or Stranded in
Wichita" will be the Musical Clubs'
1936 Junior Week show, given in Bailey
Hall the evening of February 7. Under
the joint direction of Eric Dudley and
George L. Coleman '95, the one hundred
members are rehearsing a novel program
of rousing songs, instrumental numbers,
and individual stunts, to be given as that
of a road company stranded in a Wichita
tavern.
The official souvenir program, an impressive
booklet of thirty-two pages profusely
illustrated with many beautiful
pictures of the winter Campus, has just
come from the printers. Edited by Charles
E. Dykes '36 of Springfield, Ohio, and
Wallace W. Lee, Jr. '36 of Mount Vernon,
it is dedicated to "The Junior Week
Girl." Besides the many pictures, it includes
a brief history of Junior Week at
Cornell and the complete program of
public events, to all of which this year
for the first time a single strip ticket will
be sold.
Festivities open Tuesday afternoon,
February 6, with a hockey game, scheduled
with Colgate at 2.130, and a wrestling
meet, Varsity and Junior Varsity,
with Syracuse in the Drill Hall at 3.
That evening Beebe Lake will be the
scene of the Junior Week ice carnival,
with music, costumes, exhibition skating,
a clown hockey game, and the giant
fraternity dog sled race. News reel camera
men will be on hand, and sports writers
of Metropolitan newspapers will judge
the costumes.
Friday evening will be occupied with
the Musical Clubs show and the Junior
Promenade in the Drill Hall following.
Columbia Broadcasting System will carry
a half-hour program of dance music,
songs, and description of the Junior Prom
festivities, on a coast-to-coast network,
beginning at midnight.
On Saturday afternoon, February 8,
the basketball team meets Pennsylvania
on the Drill Hall floor, with a triangular
fencing meet, against Syracuse and Colgate,
going on simultaneously in the
south tower fencing room. At 4, Junior
Week guests will be entertained at a tea
dance at Willard Straight Hall; and that
evening the Dramatic Club will present
"Fashion" in the Willard Straight
Theatre, while the polo team plays Pittsburgh
Polo Association in the Riding
Hall.
Chairman of the Junior Week committee
is Walter D. Wood, Jr. '36 of
Summit, N. J. Its membership includes
five Seniors, Dykes, Jacob S. Fassett, 3d
of Woodmere, James C. Forbes of Shaker
Heights, Ohio, Donald C. Graves of
Evanston, 111., and Jacques C. Saphier of
Brooklyn; two Juniors; Adolph Coors,
3d of Golden, Colo, and Karl L. Landgrebe,
Jr. of Birmingham, Ala.; and one
Sophomore, Gert H. W. Schmidt of
Pittsford, Vt.

JANUARY X} , 1936
BRIEF NEWS OF CAMPUS AND TOWN
LIGHTS BURN LATE these frosty
nights, and downtown movies are nearly
deserted, as students prepare for term
examinations, which begin next Monday.
Nevertheless, last week, as if in preparation
for the joys of Junior Week to come,
the Ag-Domecon Association gave a
well-attended dance in Martha Van
Rensselaer Hall Friday, and the Musical
Clubs sponsored an end-of-the-term
formal in Willard Straight Hall Saturday,
at which it was promised that'' The
Music Goes 'Round and Around" would
NOT be played.
FIRST REAL SKATING of the year on
Beebe Lake opened Thursday, and more
than 2L,ooo took week-end advantage of
the excellent ice, some hardy souls even
braving the eight-and-a-half inches of
snow which blanketed Ithaca on Sunday.
The toboggan slide has been rilled with
nine-inch ice and will probably be in
operation before you read this.
THE WOMEN'S STRING ENSEMBLE,
a group of undergraduate musicians
coached by George L. Coleman '95, gave
their first public concert Sunday afternoon
before an appreciative audience in
the series sponsored by the Music Department
and the Willard Straight board
of managers. Leader of the group is
Margaret C. Edwards '36 of Freeport;
concert mistress, Jeanne M. Wilson '37
of Ithaca. They were assisted by six
members of the University Orchestra,
with Mathew T. Jones, PhD '35, as
soloist in Mozart's "Flute Concerto
No. 2.."
RECOVERY NOTES: Ithaca's postoffice
receipts in 1935 were $84,000 and 2.3 per
cent greater than the year before, exceeded
only by the year 1930. Morse
Chain Works, Ithaca's largest industry,
reports a gain in employment of 59 per
cent from November, 1934, to the same
month in 1935, and a decided shortage
of skilled labor. Harry W. Eustance '14,
City engineer, reports to the board of
public works that other work would
now be available for the 2.00 men engaged
in WPA projects if these were
abandoned. City fathers, nevertheless,
voted to continue local improvements
with Government aid "so far as economically
possible."
MARRIAGE LICENSES granted in
Ithaca during 1935 totalled 100, the
highest number in any year since 1930.
TO DINE or not to dine—in the Willard
Straight cafeteria? That question, as it
affects women students, will be the subject
argued by men's and women's debate
teams when they meet on a Campus
platform February 19. Since the recent
announcement by the Willard Straight
management that the cafeteria would no
longer be sacred to the male during meal
hours, no subject has been more widely
or more heatedly discussed. Women debaters,
strangely enough, will uphold
the affirmative of the question, "Resolved
: that the former system of dining
rooms should be resumed."
SAGE CHAPEL PREACHER January 2.6
is the Rev. Charles R. Brown, Dean of
the Yale Divinity School, Emeritus.
LECTURES for the week include William
L. Finley, field naturalist of the American
Nature Association, January 2.1, on the
Jacob H. Schiff Foundation: "Where
Rolls the Oregon;" and Professor Charles
L. Durham '99 on "College Students and
Politics," before the Cornell Democratic
Club, January 2.5.
EXCHANGE CLUB of Ithaca has elected
Frank R. Bliss, Sp '2.7, principal of the
high school, its president for the new
year, succeeding Ralph C. Smith '15.
Harold A. Pratt, 'xi MS, local florist, is
a vice-president, and Professor Carl E. F.
Guterman, PhD '30, and Edgar A.
Whiting '19 of Willard Straight Hall are
members of the board of control.
SKULLS, pre-Medical honor society, has
elected to membership Frank F. Drews,

H. Stein of Oakfield, Seniors; and five
Juniors, William H. Burke of Elmira,
John W. Devanney, Jr. of Cincinnati,
Ohio, William H. Gulledge of Wadesboro,
N. C., Donald E. Stokes of Maplewood,
N. J.,^and Winthrop S. Welch of
Ithaca. Dr. Abram T. Kerr '95, secretary
of the Medical College, addressed the
initiation banquet in the Dutch Kitchen
January 12..
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S birthday,
January 17, was marked by the discovery
among the Franklin manuscripts in the
Jared Sparks Collection in the University
Library, of an illuminating slip of
paper on which the great philosopher
had written on one side five articles of his
personal religious faith, and on the other
his description of a crap game he had
chanced upon. Another currently interesting
piece of Frankliniana in the
collection is a draft of his last speech to
the Constitutional Assembly in 1787.
The MS says, in part: "I believe farther
that this [the new Constitution] is likely
to be well administered for a course of
years and can only end in despotism, as
other forms have done before it, when
the people shall become so corrupted as
to need despotic government, being incapable
of any other."
THE SUN has announced the election of
two Sophomores to the women's news
board and four to the business board.
The women are Lucy A. Webb of Cleveland
Heights, Ohio, daughter of James A.
Webb '09; and Mary E. Dixon of Ithaca,
daughter of Marguerite Decker Dixon
Ίo. The men: Robert B. Goodwillie of
Toledo, Ohio, son of David H. Goodwillie
Ό8; Fabian W. Kunzelmann of
Milwaukee, Wise.; Allen D. Shapiro of
Newburgh; and John S. Stewart, son of
Donald Stewart Ό8 of Ithaca.
PRELIMINARY to Junior Week, Willard
Straight Hall announces a "bustees'
ball" for the evening of February 5, the
last day of term examinations. Ballloons
will be the decorative motif, and
the slogan: " If you bust out, come over
and blow up."
THE NEW DEAL will be examined professionally
and exhaustively in a series of
fortnightly round table discussions at the
Interim Club, to be arranged by Professor
Royal E. Montgomery, Economics.
The first session, January 17, was led by
Professor Robert E. Cushman, Government.
INTERIM CLUB defeated a team of the
Faculty at squash racquets, 6-1, at the
Sigma Phi house January 18. Only
Faculty winner was David O. Walter,
Government, who defeated Jes J. Dall,
Jr. Ί6, i-o.
ITHACA'S remodelled Postoffice building
opened for public inspection Friday
afternoon and was put into operation
Monday, with a cachet to mark the
event sponsored by the Ithaca Philatelic
Society. The lobby of the building, at
Tioga and Buffalo Streets, has been made
more spacious, working space has been
enlarged to three times the former area
by means of a new wing on the east
side, and a modern loading platform
facilitates the handling of mail to and
from trucks. For the past year the Postoffice
has occupied temporary quarters in
the* former Driscoll Brothers warehouse
on South Aurora Street.
FRANK MAYERS, for many years proprietor
of Mayers Cigar Store near the
corner of State and Tioga Streets, died
suddenly in Ithaca, January 15. Thirtyeight
years ago, Frank, then twelve,
started selling papers from his mother's
sidewalk news stand on South Tioga
Street near State. In 1912. the business
was moved to its East State Street location
and expanded to include cigars and
tobacco. Frank Mayers's brother, Harry,
took over the store in 1917, and the next
year the business was purchased by Ralph
C. Smith '15, its present owner.

a corking good cigarette . . .
they've been hitting the trail
with me for a long time
They are milder. . . not flat
or insipid but with a pleas-
ing flavor
They have plenty of taste
.... not strong but just right
An outstanding cigarette
no doubt about it
