NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS HERETwo Nobel Prize winners will present

papers at a symposium on ionic physicsto be held on the Campus July 4-6, justbefore the Summer Session opens. Theyare Dr. James Franck, German physicist,who was awarded the Prize in 192.5, andDr. Irving Langmuir of the GeneralElectric Company, chemistry Prize-winner in 1932.. Dr. Franck is to bevisiting lecturer in Physics at the SummerSession; he comes to Cornell from JohnsHopkins University.

A number of authorities have been in-vited to present papers in this compre-hensive survey of ionic physics. Amongthem is Joseph A. Becker Ί8 of the BellTelephone Laboratories, who is to speakon surface ionization potentials.

CHOOSE ATHLETICS BODYAnnounce Policy Board

President Farrand announced on Tues-day the first three appointments to thenew athletic policy board authorized bythe Trustees, April z.γ, to administer theUniversity's intercollegiate and intra-mural athletics and physical education.

The Trustee member, appointed byJudge Frank H. Hiscock '75, chairman ofthe Board, is Robert E. Treman '09. TheFaculty representative, asked by Dr.Farrand to serve as chairman, is ProfessorHerman Diederichs '79; and George R.Pfann '14 represents the alumni. Bothwere appointed by the President, Pfannwith the advice and consent of theAlumni Trustees.

These three, appointed for one year,with the University Comptroller, ex-officio, and the Director of Athletics andPhysical Education, still to be appointed,will constitute the Board of AthleticPolicy. Membership of the six advisorycommittees for the several intercollegiatesports has not yet been announced;

each will representthe Faculty, alumni, andundergraduates.

Treman has been foot-ball ad visor on the Coun-cil of the A t h l e t i cAssociation and waschairman of the Univer-sity's War Memorialcommittee and of thecommittee that builtthe new ROTC RidingHall. He represented theBoard of Trustees on thecommittee on the orga-nization of athletics,having been electedAlumni Trustee in 1931.

Professor Diederichshas been president of theAthletic Association formost of the past twenty-five years, resigning thatoffice last October whenhe was appointed chair-man of the Trustees'committee on athleticscontrol. He has attendedmost of the meetings ofthe committee whosereport the Trustees ac-cepted April 2.7, andcollected for that com-mittee information onthe administration ofathletics at many otherinstitutions. He hadmuch to do with settingup the new regional

alumni scholarships and the McMullenEngineering scholarships, and with Cor-nell Day. He is a popular speaker amongthe Cornell clubs, and undergraduatesdedicated to him both this year's JuniorSmoker and Annuals.

Pfann was ail-American quarterbackon the undefeated football teams of 192.1,'12., and '2.3, was assistant to CoachDobie and a student in the Law Schoolfrom his graduation in 19x4 until he wentto Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar in the fallof 1916. He is the first president of theCornell Football Association of GreaterNew York, organized last January, andis a candidate for Alumni Trustee.

CREWS SOON TO LEAVEVarsity and Junior Varsity oarsmen,

managers, and the coaches will leave forthe course at Poughkeepsie immediatelyfollowing examinations, about June 11.The new English-built shell, the "JohnL. Collyer," not yet raced, the "JohnOstrom," and the "Uncle Pete" will betaken. Cornell has drawn the fifth lanefor the Varsity race and the fourth forthe Junior Varsity event.

F. Donald Hart '36 of SpringfieldGardens, whose father died recently inIthaca, is back at stroke in the Varsity boatand seems likely to pull the key oar atPoughkeepsie, with William H. Foote'35, son of Edward T. Foote '06 of Miles,Wis., now stroking the Junior Varsity.William A. Drisler, Jr. '35 of Bronxville,sometime Varsity stroke, is back at hisformer position at No. 4.

The Athletic Association at Ithacastill has left some of its quota of ticketsfor the observation train, which can beobtained by mail. No boat is being runby the Cornell Club of New York.

GOOD SHIP LOADINGThe past two weeks, the best this year

so far, have brought $10,410.90 to theAlumni Fund from 319 new subscribersand a few who have increased previousgifts. The eleven months to June 1 havebrought a total of $67,041.75 from 3,959contributors, with the Good Will Cruiseof the Good Ship Cornell, announced inthe current Bulletin, expected to swellthe Fund greatly during June, accordingto Archie M. Palmer Ί 8 , executivesecretary of The Cornellian Council.

Two newcomers this week into the firstten in amount contributed are '05 and'09, in sixth and seventh places, respec-tively, with $1780.75 and $1743. Lastweek's first five still hold their places:Ί o at the top with $3447.10, followed by'94 with $2.491.75, '00 with $rL33 5o,'2.6 with $ioo7 99, and '08 with $1908.'90 with $1713. has been crowded backfrom fifth to eighth; '2.3 with $1675.84 isninth, and ΊΛ. is tenth with $1669.01;'xi and '2.4 being crowded out.

MORE ALUMNI REGISTERFirst Institute Attracts

Enrollments for Cornell's first AlumniInstitute, which will run from Monday,June 17, through Thursday, June 2.0, arecontinuing to come in. In addition tomany who have signified intention toattend but have not yet definitely en-rolled their names, the list of recent as-surances includes: Ernest W. Bowen '2.5and Mrs. Bowen, of Petersburg, Va.;Stanley W. Hayes '91 of Richmond, Ind.;Godfrey Morgan '2.2. of Collingswood,N. J.; and George H. Young Όo of Bing-hamton. The committee, while it urgesthat applications be made early, realizesthat many cannot make their decisionsuntil later, and will make provision forall who come. The complete programand registration blanks may be had bymail from the Alumni Office, MorrillHall, Ithaca. All former students of theUniversity, and members of their fami-lies and friends, are invited to enroll.

Members of the Faculty and alumniresident in Ithaca will also attend.Seventeen members of the Faculty wiJlmake up the staff, which will present

the subjects and lead the round-tablediscussions.

A single payment of fifteen dollarsincludes the Institute fee, rooms in thedormitories, and meals in WillardStraight Hall. Women and family groupswill be housed in Prudence Risley Hall;men not accompanied by their familieswill live in the War Memorial dormitory.

The "certificate plan" under whichthe railroads allow special rates of a fareand a third for the round trip to Ithacahas been extended to include the Insti-tute, as well as alumni reunions andCommencement. In other words, the re-duction will apply for those who cometo Ithaca just for the days of the Insti-tute, and also for those who come onFriday or Saturday, June 14 or 15, forthe alumni reunions, and remain intothe following week.

MORE SENIORS FIND JOBSOfficers of the various colleges of the

University who are most closely in touchwith the placement of Seniors agree thatthe outlook for jobs this year is morepromising than in any of the past fouror five. The University Placement Bureau,according to Herbert H. Williams ^ 5 ,its director, is getting more calls thanbefore for both Seniors and alumni.

The number of interviewers from largecorporations visiting the Campus thisspring has increased, and more requestsfor candidates have come by mail thanfor several years. It is difficult now,Williams says, to estimate the success ofthe Senior Class as a whole in gettingjobs, because many smaller concerns,without organized recruiting programs,will absorb those who go job-huntingafter their graduation; by September 1,he thinks, most wanting work will have it.

Up to May 2.9, according to the recordsof the Placement Bureau, 50 percent ofthe Seniors in Agriculture had definitelyaccepted jobs; 2.^ percent in Arts andSciences; 50 percent in AdministrativeEngineering; 30 percent in ElectricalEngineering; 40 percent in MechanicalEngineering; 10 percent in Civil Engineer-ing; and 50 percent in Hotel Administra-tion. Figures are not available for HomeEconomics, but the situation is reportedmuch improved. Williams points out thatthese percentages are constantly increas-ing, and do not represent by any meansthe probabilities. For example, althoughbut 50 percent of Hotel Seniors hadaccepted positions May 29, jobs areavailable for all and it is expected thewhole Class will be placed shortly.

Salaries, he says, are about the same aslast year, ranging from $80 a month to$150, depending on the location, field ofwork, and sometimes upon the individual.

"Working for the Government seemsto be the desire of a considerable numberof Seniors this year. It is an unfortunatething that the method of selecting em-ployees for the Civil Service puts collegegraduates at a real disadvantage. If moreof the junior Civil Service jobs werethrown open to college seniors, whowould be selected on the basis of theircollege records and personal interview,the country could not help but benefit.This method of selection is used, andhas proven successful, in private industry.Actually, this year several men willobtain work in various branches ofGovernment service, among them theNational Park Service and the SoilErosion Service. Foresters are in demand;Agriculture and Civil Engineering Seniorsare needed to some extent."

SPRING DAY CLAMBAKE

To the Editor:

Your account in the last issue [May 13]of the ALUMNI NEWS concerning the

Monkey Run party on Spring Day wasso misleading that your readers havealready received an entirely erroneousimpression of what to me was a mostunusual affair. In justice to the men ofRed Key who staged it, I ask that youpublish the Cornell Daily Sun's editorialcomments of May xo. Their's was afaithful and accurate reporting and rep-resents an intelligent observation. Idoubt if your reporter attended the party.I was there myself from start to finish andI considered it one of the most enjoyablepicnics, clambakes, or what have you,I ever attended.

Your correspondent infers that it wasa roughhouse, but actually it was undercomplete control of the promoters all thetime. It was chuck full of fun, with every-thing well planned and executed. Menand women alike entered into all theevents with unbounded enthusiasm andgood sportsmanship and I came awaywith my sides aching from laughter.

And with what gentleness and respectthe boys treated the kindly old Doctor,with the Ezra Cornell beard, who cameall the way out to Monkey Run to judgethe whisker-growing contest. I journeyedfrom Cleveland for Spring Day and gotmy money's worth with this one event.All the naturalness, high spirit, andgayety of the best of old Spring Days wasthere and completely satisfied at least oneold grad. WILLIAM H. FORBES '06

Our reporter attended the clambake atMonkey Run. He is a member of Red Key,whose president is James C. Forbes '36, son ofour correspondent. Herewith the Sun editorial:

Monkey RunBy far the most colorful and most appreciated

of the many events scheduled for Spring Daywas that genial frolic at Monkey Run, theClambake. Red Key society and its cohorts areto be congratulated for all their hardspent workin arranging an affair that proved so decidedlysuccessful while still retaining an air ofmoderate sobriety.

There is a definite need for some annual out-door festival in which all Cornellians mayparticipate. Occasions involving the whole stu-dent body are indeed rare, and such gatheringsas at the circuses of the past and the picnic atMonkey Run have an important influence incontributing to the spirit of University life andin intensifying student loyalty to Cornell. Nomore appropriate time could be scheduled forsuch an affair than during those noon hours onSpring Day, when the University is awakeningfrom the revelry of the Navy Day ball.

The ostensible reason for prohibiting an-other circus this year was the general com-plaint of excessive and conspicuous drinking.No such criticism, however, could be voicedagainst the conduct of the Clambake crowd.The outright sale oί beer did much to alleviatethe usual cases of intoxication resulting fromthe stronger spirits, and though the throngs ofcontestants and spectators may have appearedhilarious, their conduct, almost without ex-ception, was above reproach.

Since the general morals of the students aremore or less unalterable and since the sale ofbeer on Beebe island or Sage Green would beprohibited by University restrictions, it wouldseem that the most desirable site for futurepicnics would be at some verdant spot off theCampus like Monkey Run.

ANOTHER SCHOLARSHIPThe Cornell Club of Maryland held a

special meeting at the Hotel Altamontin Baltimore, June 4, to organize a bodyof trustees to administer the Clubs'regional scholarship at the University,and to hear reports of Cornell Day.

PROVES EINSTEIN'S LAWA new proof of Einstein's law, that

mass and energy are the same thing indifferent form, has been evolved thisterm in the Physics Department by Dr.Hans Bethe, appointed last fall actingassistant professor of Physics.

Dr. Bethe's work removes an obstaclefrom one of the most important advancesnow under way in science, the investiga-tion of the nucleus of the atom. He foundthat in the disintegration of the lightestelements; such as deuterium and lithium,the loss of mass was offset by an equiva-lent amount of energy, thus confirmingEinstein's law. Apparent contradictionto this law had arisen when investigatorsdisintegrated heavier nuclei, such asberyllium and boron. Not enough energyseemed to be given off when these ele-ments were disintegrated. This castdoubt on the validity of the Einsteinformula and caused consternation amonginvestigators in this field.

Starting from the point that mostnuclei disintegrate into helium, Dr.Bethe suggested that the mass of thehelium nucleus was greater than previousmeasurements had indicated.

He was able to compute the atomic•weights of all light elements with greateraccuracy than any previous method inchemistry or physics had given. Withthese more accurate masses, Einstein'slaw was found to hold for every nucleardisintegration thus far investigated.

By a coincidence, an independent in-vestigation, conducted by Dr. F. W.Aston, renowned British physicist, con-firmed, by direct measurement, the mostimportant of the new atomic weightswhich Dr. Bethe had arrived at by thetheoretical method. With confidenceagain restored in the validity of Einstein'slaw of the equivalence of mass andenergy, the path is now open for investi-gating the remaining secrets of the struc-

JUNE 6, I935 5

ture of matter which are bound up in theinvisible nucleus of the atom.

Dr. Bethe was appointed to the Facultylast fall, but given leave of absence duringthe first term, when he worked at theUniversity of Bristol, England. Much ofhis previous work in physics was doneat the University of Munich, Germany,and latterly also at the University ofManchester, England. Beginning nextSeptember he becomes assistant professorof Physics here.

BILLY McGRAIME IS DEADThe Class of 1935 will be the first since

the late Harlan Moore led the Class of'93 through its graduation exercises toreceive their diplomas with the red-and-white ribbon and seal affixed by otherhands than those of William McGraime.E. E. Swanson, janitor of McGraw Hall,is putting the official seal on the sheep-

HE PUT SEALS ON 30,000 DIPLOMAS

skins this year. Billy McGraime died atthe Bailey-Jones Hospital, after an illnessof only a few hours, on May x6.

Some one has estimated that the littleIrishman, white-haired, blue-eyed, hisbow tie encircling his stiff collar, hadstamped the seal of the University onmore than 30,000 diplomas in the forty-two years he had had charge of the opera-tion. He had been an employe of the

University since 1884, serving under allfour presidents—White, Adams, Schur-man, and Farrand—as marshal to thetuition line and right-hand man forDavid Fletcher Hoy; as fire inspector atalmost every undergraduate function forover four decades; and as messenger andgeneral factotum of Morrill Hall.

McGraime was born in St. Johnson-ville in August, i860. He came to Ithacain 1883 and began work in the Univer-sity's messenger service January 1, 1884.He had one of the longest service recordson the Hill. In 19x6, President Farrand,for his associates of Morrill Hall, pre-sented him a clock for his service; itwas one of Billy's most prized posses-sions.

He had attended mass that Sundaymorning, and was working about thekitchen of his home, 131 Blair Street,when he was stricken, at about 11:30.He was rushed to the hospital, where hedied that afternoon.

NO PAPER NEXT WEEKTo maintain our schedule of thirty-

five issues a year, and because news isscarce during Block Week, the nextALUMNI NEWS will appear June 1.0. Thatissue will contain an account of Com-mencement and alumni reunions, to befollowed in that of June iη with thereunion stories (and we hope, pictures)of the various Classes, and an account ofCornell's first Alumni Institute.

The ALUMNI NEWS office, on EastGreen Street, downtown, will be openthroughout reunions, and we hopealumni will drop in to give us news,renew subscriptions, and make andrenew acquaintances. This year, too, thepaper will be represented on the Campusduring reunions; the representativesidentified by distinctive tags. Let themserve you!

ON COMING BACKWith June reunions just ahead,

thoughts of Ithaca and Cornell bring toeach alumnus his own peculiar associa-tions. To many, the period connotes re-laxation: a clutch at fast-disappearingyouth, a brief interval of being turned

out to grass in company with a band ofcontemporaries who refuse to entertainfor the moment any serious thought.

To others, it is an opportunity forcommunion with an institution that hasmeant much to them in the humdrum oftheir vocations; that has given themheads full of refreshing, even if unpracti-cal, thoughts that guarantee them im-munity from boredom; or that has sup-plied to them the intangible implementsof their profession to distinguish themfrom the everyday run of workers.

There are as many points of view asthere are reuners. It is a free country anda broad area. No one can tell the otherthat his point of view is wrong. Arrivedat by ever so many routes, Cornell is tothe returning alumnus an oasis for re-freshment, and each goes home from hisreunion stimulated or rested for theregular duties of the office or the home.

This year for the first time, Cornelloffers to those who will stay after theregular reunion, an opportunity to brushup against the academic aspects of theUniversity in a pleasant series of sessionsthat should add to the refreshment of thereunions a touch of the old-time relation-ship of teacher to student.

We believe that, fundamentally, theAlumni Institute would be valuable, use-ful, and pleasant to every type of personthat attends reunions, whatever his atti-tude may be toward relaxation, recrea-tion, and all the other advantages of thereunions themselves. Those that can stayover will leave with a new affection forthe University and a new attitude to-ward its possibilities as an oasis.

UPPER CAMPUS was host May 2.1 toDr. Imre Szladits of the HungarianMinistry of Agriculture. He said he wasimpressed with Cornell techniques ofresearch and extension.

CENTRAL OHIO MEETSThirty members of the Cornell Club of

Central Ohio attended a luncheon MayX3, at the Faculty Club on the campus ofOhio State University. Plans were madefor an outing, to be sponsored by alumniin Circleville, probably at the CountryClub there, with golf in the afternoonand a picnic supper in the evening.

PLAN NEW FIELD STATIONLimnologic instruction and research in

the College of Agriculture will be fur-thered greatly, according to ProfessorJames G. Needham, PhD '98, head of theDepartment, in the construction of a newbiological field station at the head ofCayuga Lake, authorized last week as aState TERA project.

By fall, it is expected, a new fieldlaboratory building will be completed onthe triangle of land owned by the Collegebetween the mouth of Fall Creek and theInlet, at the foot of the lighthouse pier; afoot bridge and highway bridge will bebuilt, and canals and marsh areas pre-pared to make the finest station inAmerica for the study of the biologicalproblems of fresh water lakes.

The new field station is on land ex-changed by the City of Ithaca for thateast of North Cayuga Street formerlyowned by the College and used as a fieldstation, and last year reclaimed by fill-ing for eventual addition to Stewart Park.

Canals will be cut through to connectthe Inlet and Fall Creek on both sides ofthe new field station, and two largemarsh areas at the east side of the de-velopment, bordering Fall Creek, will beleft in their natural state to form ahabitat for studying fish and insect life.

The project was barely started in 1932.in the last days of the CWA, and has re-mained uncompleted while several at-tempts were made to get TERA approvalfor it, the last effort being successful.

Sunday evening, June 16, at seven, alumni here for reunions and Seniors will gather at Goldwin Smith portico for Class

Day exercises and the singing of Cornell songs.

BOOKSBy Cornellians

A PRIZE WINNER WRITESPassacaglia. By Hyman Yudewitz '2.8.

New York City. Pilgrim House. 1935.i^i. pages. $1.50.

"Life? Life is an aesthete who, havingwritten three columes of verse on Nature,and one critical column on the use ofbrooks by poets of the XVII, XVIII, andXIX Centuries, wakes his gentle littlewife with his prolific snoring." So de-clares the author, winner of the GuilfordPrize in 19x8 (with an essay he partiallyreprints here) and former assistant toProfessor Mason in French 16 in this, hisfirst book, whose name is taken from thatof an old Spanish or Italian tune (cf.Webster's).

If our life is to be an aesthete writingpoems about Nature and reviews about theuse of brooks in literature, it will comeof our having heard esoteric and studiedmusic such as this.

NEW DEAL ECONOMICSGold and Prices. By Professors George

F. Warren '03 and Frank A. Pearson Ί z ,Agricultural Economics. New York City.John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1935. vii+475pages. $5.00.

Lord Kelvin's familiar dictum that"when you can measure what you arespeaking about and express it in numbersyou know something about i t ," quoted inthe preface, is here ably if to the laymansomewhat overwhelmingly applied tomonetary theory: Professors Warren andPearson have measured almost everythingfrom the ounces of gold required to buya bale of cotton, 1932.-1934, to the averagepurchasing power of beef cattle comparedto hogs, 1880-1934.

Gold and Prices is a revision and ex-pansion, by two men who have had agreat deal to do With Roosevelt's mone-tary policies of the last two years, of theirearlier book, Prices; it presents in some-thing of a new way and with new factualinformation their argument of the influ-ence of gold upon prices. It disposes of the"erroneous explanations" of a depressionthat are "brought out, dusted off, andput into use" whenever prices fall. Withinteresting statistical information it dis-cusses in this somewhat unsympatheticmood the "compulsory scarcity" of theAAA, the "compulsory advertising" ofthe New York Milk Authority, tariff andquota manipulation, Government spend-ing, spreading-the-work, stimulation ofcredit, and other means the New Dealhas employed or thought of using torevive business

The book is profusely illustrated withgraphs, charts, and tables. As a descrip-tive treatment of Government economic

policy and of economic history it has aplace in the library of every student ofeconomics, and everyone interested ineconomics. Its literary style is diametric-ally opposed to that of the usual ponder-ous economist—perhaps too much op-posed for easy reading.

Cornell n j ^ points and fourth place inthe ICAAAA track meet held at Cam-bridge, May 31 and June 1, behind BatesCollege by a half-point and behind thetwo all-conquering squads from thePacific Coast, Southern California andCalifornia.

CREDIT TO POLO TEAM

The ROTC polo team and its new Rid-ing Hall are the subjects of comment inthe "Sporting Snapshots" column of theWilkes Barre, Pa. Sunday Independent, ofwhich the publisher is Thomas E. Heffer-nan, who plays with the Wilkes BarreWhips.

The column points out that "while somany schools must scour the country tofind good ends and running backs inorder that at least the interest on theirstadia mortgages can be met, not onepenny of money comes to Cornell polofrom the athletic fund.

"Nor does it depend upon the privatefortunes of wealthy young men who areso anxious to play that they will spendtheir own money on the game. Two ofthe three boys on the varsity team arekept pretty busy all day long, workingtheir way through school. They don'teven wear the white breeches that havecome to be a regular part of a polo uni-form. But lacking cash for that does notkeep them from playing a game theircoach is proud of."

Of the genesis of the new Riding Hall,the columnist says, "Major Ferrin givesa lot of the credit for starting what theyhave nQw to an old Army sergeant whohas been there so long he almost owns theplace. Some go so far as to say he blew inthere with Ezra Cornell, back in CivilWar times, and helped found the college.

"At any rate, seeking a place in whichto teach ROTC recruits to ride, and beingpretty well pushed from here to there, hesaw some dirt from an excavation goingto waste and persuaded someone to dumpit in a nearby ravine. When it was filledhe built a fence around it, and—presto!—there was a little bull ring (a more or lesscircular enclosure inside which recruitscould gallop around and fall off withsome degree of safety).

' The predecessor to Major Ferrin, whois so well known to the local polo fra-ternity, was Major Hospital. He got theidea for a riding hall on the bull ringsite and got started raising money—through subscriptions, running horseshows, and, he said once, a little stealing.Major Ferrin followed, kept it up, and,last year a sum of about $10,000 had beencollected.

"Then came the CWA. That savedeverything. With the CWA furnishingthe labor and the $10,000 buying ma-terials, the result was reached and it issomething pretty fine."
