Advantage ofIndependent Inventors?

// you have an idea for a new petroleum product-but do not have the facilities needed to develop i t -the Sinclair Plan offers you laboratory help.

EIGHT months ago, Sinclair opened up a part of itsgreat research laboratories to independent inventors

who had ideas for new or improved petroleum productsout who did not have the facilities needed to developand profit by their ideas.

To date nearly 5,000 inventive people have submitted~ideas to the laboratories; and the Sinclair Plan has be-come recognized as a service to inventors, the oil in-dustry and the public. As a result we have made thePlan part and parcel of the long-range operation ofour company.

If you have an idea for a new or improved petroleumproduct or application, you are invited to submit it tothe Sinclair Research Laboratories. In your own inter-est, each idea must first be protected by a patentapplication or a patent.

If the laboratories select your idea for development,they will make a very simple arrangement with you: Inreturn for the laboratories' work, Sinclair will receivethe privilege of using the idea for its own companies,free from royalties. This in no way hinders the inven-tor from selling his idea to any of the hundreds ofother oil companies for whatever he can get. Sinclairhas no control over the inventor's sale of his idea toothers, and has no participation in any of the inventor'sprofits through such dealings.HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Instructions are contained inan Inventor's Booklet. Write to W. M. Flowers, ExecutiveVice-President, Sinclair Research Laboratories, Inc.,600 Fifth Avenue, New York 20, N. Y.IMPORTANT: Please do not send in any ideas until youhave sent for and received the instructions.

Numbers Drop Slightly

SPRING TERM enrollment of students inIthaca, through February 25, was 9,004.The figure at the beginning of the fallterm was 9,438. With 329 in the MedicalCollege and 201 in the School of Nurs-ing in New York City, total enrollmentof the University for the spring term is9,534. Fall enrollment for all divisionswas 9,926.

This is about the usual decrease fromfall to spring term, according to Associ-ate Registrar Ernest Whitworth. Tenwomen and 151 men were dropped atmidyear by the Colleges for unsatisfac-tory work, and fifty-one women and 672men students are reported as on pro-bation. These numbers have been aboutthe same the last few years, Whitworthsays.

Enrolled in the University at Ithacaare 1,990 women and 7,014 men, ofwhom 15 per cent are veterans. Lastspring term, 25 per cent of the men wereveterans.

Agriculture has 1,544 students; Ar-chitecture, 218; Arts & Sciences, 2,550;Business & Public Administration, 65;Engineering, 1,540; Graduate School,1,233; Home Economics, 603; HotelAdministration, 357; Industrial & LaborRelations, 306; Law School 352; Nutri-tion, 24; Division of Unclassified Stu-dents, 22; and Veterinary, 190.

"Desire Under the Elms"AUDIENCES at the University Theaterin Willard Straight Hall enjoyed fiveadept and convincing performances ofEugene O'Neill's tragedy, "Desire Un-der the Elms," by members of the Dra-matic Club, February .21-24. The ethicsof presenting the play had been thor-oughly aired in letters to the Sun, butthose who saw it found it a memorableperformance, with novel staging andsincere acting.

The play was directed by Richard C.Morris '52, president of the DramaticClub, assisted by John H. Siegel '53. Aningenious four-level setting was a cuta-way of the Cabot farmhouse for all ofthe twelve scenes, with lighting effec-tively used for both "atmosphere" andtiming.

Sheila A. Shulman '55 showed greatdramatic ability in her portrayal ofAbbie, the young wife of old EphraimCabot, the hard-fisted Puritan father,who was well characterized by KennethS. Berkman '54. Eben, the sensitive andbrooding son whose pursuit of his de-sires leads him to Abbie and the play'sfinal tragedy, was finely drawn by JohnW. Kotschnig '53. Credible also wereSilas W. Pickering III '52 and FranklinB. Sherwood '53 as the mor^ hardenedsons, Simeon and Peter Cabot, who go

324

off to California early in the play, aftersetting the background of understand-ing for the action that follows.

Concerts Are Enjoyed

CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA,, under its dy-namic conductor, George Szell, gave anexcellent concert before a full house inBailey Hall, February 15. The concertwas the fifth in this year's Universityconcert series and the Orchestra's twen-tieth Ithaca appearance.

The musicians got off to a very goodstart with Brahm's "Tragic Overture,Op. 81." Splendid renditions followedof Stavinsky's "Suite from the BalletTulcinella' " (based on themes by Perg-olesi), perhaps the most interestingwork on the program, and of "DonJuan, Op. 20" by Richard Strauss. Afterintermission, the Orchestra played Bee-thoven's "Symphony No. 7 In A Major,Op. 92." The audience received everyoffering with tremendous ovation andrecalled the Orchestra for five bows. Noencores were given.

Ernst Wallfisch, violist with the Or-chestra, and his wife, Lory Wallfisch,pianist, remained in Ithaca after theconcert to give a recital in WillardStraight Memorial Room the followingSunday.

Fourth concert in the chamber musicseries was presented by Luigi Silva, cell-ist, in Willard Straight Theater, Febru-ary 26.

Throughout his recital, Silva dis-played the virtuosity for which he isknown. His program was also remark-able for the fact that it included somerarely heard compositions: "Toccataand Canzona" from Delia Ciaja's "Or-gan Sonata II," transcribed for the celloby Silva himself; "Sonata No. 6 in CMajor" by Raynor Taylor; and "DuoConcertant for Piano and Violincello"

Foresters Greet "Chief"

PROFESSOR RALPH S. HOSMER> Forest-

ry Emeritus, was guest of honor at adinner in Washington, D.C., February15, given by twenty of his former stu-dents of the Forestry Department whichhe headed from 1914-42. Toastmasterwas G. Harris Collingwood, former Ex-tension professor of Forestry. Alumnipresent, all from the US Forest Service,Indian Service, or Soil ConservationService, were Jay P. Kinney '02, KarlE. Pfeiffer '12, Franklin R. Fielding '15,Fred H. Miller '16, George S. Kephart'17, Perkins Coville '18,' Kenneth L.Roberts '23, Bernard Frank '25, CharlesA. Gillett '25, Seth Jackson '26, DavidP.

Honor Dairymen

PICTURES of three Cornellians hang inthe Dairy Shrine Club maintained nearthe grounds of the Dairy Cattle Con-gress in Waterloo, Iowa, and foundedin 1949 at the annual convention of theAmerican Dairy Science Association forthe purpose of honoring outstandingmen in the field. Twenty-four other pio-neers in the dairy industry are picturedin the Pioneer Room of the Club.

Two of the Cornellians were amongthe University's early teachers. The lateStephen M. Babcock, Grad 73-'75, pro-fessor of agricultural chemistry at theUniversity of Wisconsin for many years,was instructor in Chemistry at Cornellin 1875-77 and then chemist in the Ag-ricultural Experiment Station at Genevauntil 1887. He perfected a simple meth-od of determining the butterfat contentof milk, known as the Babcock Test. Healso was a leader in early vitamin stud-ies.

The late Professor Henry H. Wing'81, for whom the Animal Husbandrybuilding is named, taught at the Univer-sity for forty years and had been secre-tary of the College of Agriculture. Withlimited facilities, he carried out exten-sive research and published many bulle-tins, mostly on the effect of feed on milkand fat production. He was influentialin starting the advanced registry basedon milk and butterfat production. Hetaught and practiced the early use ofproduction records as a basis of selectionand improvement of dairy cattle.

The third Cornellian honored is

Henry W. Jeffers '98, chairman of theboard of directors of Walker—GordonLaboratory Co., Plainsboro, N.J., a di-vision of the Borden Co. He pioneeredin the development of certified milk,invented the Rotolactor which milksfifty cows simultaneously under the mostsanitary conditions, and has been re-sponsible for many more of the presentsanitary controls in milk production andprocessing.

A group picture of the Cornell teamwhich won the national dairy productsjudging contest in 1938 is also in theDairy Shrine Club.

Seniors Organize

CLASS OF 1952 men, following the re-cent pattern of Senior Classes, haveelected Class officers and a Class Coun-cil of some thirty-five members to directClass alumni activities. A Class Consti-tution provides that officers and Councilmembers shall serve for five years.

Alumni executive officer of the Classof '52 will be Barton Treman (left,above) secretary - chairman, and theClass president is Kenneth W. Tunnell(right). Vice-president is John C.Lankenau and the treasurer is EdwinS. Weber, Jr.

Treman's election as secretary-chair-man continues family tradition that goesback to the very early organization ofCornell Classes. He is the son of AllanH. Treman of Ithaca, Class secretaryof '21, and is the grandson of the lateRobert H. Treman, University Trusteeand secretary of the Class of '78. More-over, the late Charles E. Treman '89,Alumni Trustee and Barton Treman'sgreat-uncle, was appointed by PresidentJacob Gould Schurman in 1903 "toeffect permanent organizations in thevarious Classes which had been gradu-ated from the University and to arrangefor regular Class Reunions." His effortsbrought about the organization of thepresent Association of Class Secretaries,in 1905. Barton Treman's uncle, RobertE. Treman '09, present University Trus-tee, is a former secretary of his Class;and his second cousins, Arthur B. Tre-

man '23 and Charles E. Treman, Jr.'30, are the respective secretaries of theirClasses.

Classes in New York

CORNELL WOMEN'S CLUB of New York,

through arrangements with the Exten-sion Division of the School of Industrial& Labor Relations, is again presentingthis year two free courses of study. Thecourses are a continuation of last year'sstudies but are being given in such a waythat newcomers can understand the dis-cussions.

"Current Trends in Labor-Manage-ment Relations" is taught by John A.Fitch, arbitrator and writer, with class-es scheduled for the afternoons of Feb-ruary 26, March 4, 11, 18, 25, and April1. Reynold A. Aymar '29, personnel di-rector at Saks Fifth Avenue, teaches thecourse in "Personnel Development ofthe Professional Woman in Her Job Re-lationships," the evenings of those samedates. Classes are held in the Club roomsin the Hotel Barbizon. The Universitywill award certificates to those who at-tend regularly. Professor Effey L. Riley'18 is Director of the New York Metro-politan Extension Office of the School.

Develop New CelerySEED of the Emerson Pascal celery, ablight-resistant variety developed at theAgricultural Experiment Station at theUniversity and named after the lateProfessor Rollins A. Emerson, Sp '99,head of the Department of Plant Breed-ing from 1914-42, is being sold to grow-ers this year for the first time.

Consumers will find the new celery onthe markets this fall. It is green in color,has high table quality, and meaty stalks.Its brittleness makes for good eating,but at the same time makes it harderfor the grower to harvest, according toProfessors Henry M. Munger '36, PlantBreeding, and Allan G. Newhall, PhD'29, Plant Pathology, who helped com-plete the project. It is immune to theFusarium Yellows disease and needs nospraying for blight when grown in theNorth/

The perfected variety comes aftersome eighteen years of effort. In 1933,a graduate student from India started acelery-breeding program at the Univer-sity which was later carried on by Pro-fessors Emerson, Newhall, and HomerC. Thompson, Vegetable Crops. Twovarieties resulted, but were not whollysatisfactory. In 1936, a scientist of theEastern States Farmers Exchange inMassachusetts found that a Danish cel-ery he had crossed with a leading com-mercial variety was freer of blight thanothers in a test plot. He offered his seedto the University for testing and num-erous crosses were made from which the

Emerson Pascal was finally evolved.After tests at Everglades ExperimentStation in Florida and the Central Flor-ida Experiment Station and by seeds-men and growers, one strain was finallyconsidered satisfactory and was releasedjointly by the three experiment stations.

Passing of a Hill-dweller

EDITOR: A good deal might be saidabout the things which made the lateFred Hackstaff '05 outstanding as aCornell man; such as his prowess as afootball player and the fact that he senthis two sons to Cornell, both of whomdistinguished themselves at Cornell andlater in business. But there would be leftout one thing which should mean a greatdeal not only to those who knew Fred,but to all Cornell men.

This man first came to my conscious-ness when I was watching football prac-tice of the Freshman Class of '05 and Isaw a group of players standing in acircle, practicing dropping on the ball.One burly, curly-haired boy fell on theball and hit his funny-bone he stood uprubbing his elbow in great agony. I latercame to know this boy as Fred Hack-staff. I do not remember seeing anythingmore of Fred for years, but gradually asI moved in Cornell circles, I got to knowhim better and better, until of recentyears there developed a strong, fraternalbond between us.

Why should this have been? Whyshould I have gotten to know this manbetter and better through the years whenin most cases, many of my best friendsdrifted farther and farther away fromme? The answer certainly lies in the factthat Fred Hackstaff was a permanentHill-dweller; that is, in spirit, he neverleft "the Hill."

Some men walk off the Hill with theirsheepskins and gradually lose their Cor-nell contacts through the years. Othermen, figuratively speaking, never leavethe Hill, even though they live at theends of the earth. These men are trueHill-dwellers. With them, the Cornellspirit seems to grow stronger as the yearsgo on. Whereas they may have had afew cronies on the Hill at Ithaca, theydevelop more and more cronies "on theHill" in after-life.

For instance, many young graduatescoming out of Cornell into life—menwithout social proclivities and with afeeling that the "big man on the Hill"lived in a stratosphere way beyond themat Ithaca and would still live in such astratosphere after leaving Ithaca—aresurprised and delighted to find on run-ning into some of these permanent Hill-dwellers, that merely because they come

326

from Cornell they have become a bloodbrother of this Hill-dweller and it doesnot count whether or not they havebeen fraternity men or athletes or social-ites in college.

There are not as many Hill-dwellersas we need, but these Hill-dwellers mustgain great dividends of happiness overthe men who come down off the Hillwhen they leave Ithaca. To an outsider,the enthusiasms of these Hill-dwellersmust seem almost infantile. They have ascandalous partiality for other Cornellmen in business. They have a feeling thatthere is no really great university outsideof Cornell and a consequent pity for aman who is a graduate of, say, Yale orHarvard. The meeting with every Cor-nell man is celebrated with cheers andjoy. Their interest in the athletic teamsis beyond all bounds of reason and forthat alone, they probably should becommited to an institution. Their chil-dren always go to Cornell. When thereis an alumni smoker or banquet, youwill find them at the top of the heap andprobably running the committees. Whenthere is a Reunion or shindig at Cornell,they will be on hand. I recall a formertrack man coming back from China af-ter thirty years and searching the townwhere I lived for another track man ofhis time. What a lot of fun these fellowshave, and how much help they are tothe younger crowd!

Well, Fred Hackstaff was one of thebest of our permanent Hill-dwellers.

"Horseless Carriages"

MERRY OLD MOBILES ON PARADE. By Hi

Sibley '06. Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc.,Chicago, 111. 1951. 96 pages, paper-bound, $1.

From his ranch in Nuevo, Cal., Wal-ter A. Sibley '06 remembers backthrough the years to his first driving ex-perience in 1901, as a youth in SouthBend, Ind., at the tiller of the family'sone-cylinder Oldsmobile. His book isprincipally pictures of the early cars,spiced with lively captions and anec-dotes of the "horseless carriage" periodand with the author's humorous draw-ings.

"This book is not concerned with whobuilt the first successful automobile inthis country," he says, "or which was thefirst equipped with a steering wheel, theexact date that shaft drive supersededchain, or any of the other firsts; ratherit is merely to display some of the fore-runners of our sleek modern cars and afew of their individual features." It isa compilation that will attract the ab-sorbing interest of many an old-timer.

Now In My Time!

T H E ONE SPOT that's the leastchanged is the Ithaca Hotel barbershop. There and there alone the OldTimer can drowse off in the chair andthink himself back in the year 1900.True, the bathtub department hasbeen removed, and the price of hair-cuts has soared from twenty-fivecents to a dollar, and it's a differentset of barbers who ply their arts uponthe customers, but the striking designin the tile floor is unchanged and thebarbers' views on football remainprecisely what they were in the turnof the century when Mr. Eschenbergpresided at the Number One chairand set the pitch for the general con-versation. Thirty years ago it was thecurrent pleasantry at Hamilton thatit wasn't necessary for Colgate toscout Cornell games; all they neededto do was send an assistant coach toIthaca to get a haircut and he'd comeback with the signals!

Upstairs, State Street is so differentit hurts. There the trolley and theoverhead wires on poles have beenbut a fading memory for many years.Policemen have become young, slen-der, and numerous. C. J. Rumsey &Co., the hardware store, and Roths-child Bros, remain what and wherethey were, but apart from these andthat hardy perennial, the Ithaca Ho-tel, no familiar place of business be-tween Aurora and Cayuga Streets re-calls the past. The Corner Bookstoreretains its name and atmosphere, buteven it moved from the corner a longtime ago to the middle of the blockon Tioga Street opposite the TrustCo. It's mostly chain stores now in thetwo blocks mentioned, and even theboys and girls who crowd the side-walks on fair days are students ofIthaca College and not those of Cor-nell.

In such surroundings, the dazedand discouraged Rip Van Winkle canscarcely be blamed if he dives downthe old stone stairs to the cellar, andpays an outrageous price for a hair-cut he doesn't really need, just for theprivilege of mingling for a time withthe amusing ghosts of his student dayswho still frequent the barber shop.

In a college town, the barber shopremains the one uncontaminated

stronghold of democracy, fraternity,and equality. Here professor, banker,student, merchant, truckman, andthe reverend clergy rank in order oftheir arrival in the shop and on noother basis. Even though a Freshmanwere disposed to give up his priorityto an impatient professor, Mr. Esch-enberg wouldn't let him, and the cus-tomers would sustain the ruling. Theplace is also the citadel of free speech.Here the elder statesmen and the un-known adolescent are free to join thebarbers in expressing their views onthe zone defense as against man-to-man, and can also hold forth on therelative merits of the T-formationand the single wing.

One does not have to be so veryold these days, or more than a littledrowsy, to think he hears again EbTreman, Goldenberg the tailor,George Tarbell, Mr. Eschenberg,Toke Brasheer, and a ghostly com-pany of downtown quarterbacks giv-ing tongue from the different chairson the recent football rulings of theIvy League presidents. It would nothave been what the Eight Presidentshad done that startled the ghosts, somuch as that they'd done anything!"What are the alumni going to sayabout this?" would have been theoutraged chant of Harry Morey,Toke Brasheer, Mr. Eschenberg, andthe Colgate scout concealed in thesuds of the shampoo basin. The re-marks of Goldy, the tailor, wouldhave been pungent and to the point,once he'd caught the drift of publicopinion. On matters of athletic pol-icy, Mr. Goldenberg seldom went outon a limb all by himself. It was estab-lished majority opinion on such mat-ters that Goldy voiced.

The Ithaca Hotel barber shop isnot the headquarters of the StateStreet Athletic Council to the extentthat it was in the turn of the century,but the ghosts are still there and theOld Timer, half asleep in the cornerchair, can still rejoice in his memoriesof their debates and protests. Thetrolleys don't clang in the street abovehim any more, and the rack of pri-vate shaving mugs with their owners'names upon them amid garlands ofroses have departed, but the spirit ofthe place remains unchanged. And Ican think of no better way to makethe former twenty-five-cent haircutseem worth a dollar than to get it inthe ghostly company of Mr. Eschen-berg, Eb Treman, and Goldenberg,the tailor!

Praise for "Cornell Music"

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION received an orderfor the Cornell Long Playing Record ofthe Glee Club^ Band, and Chimes froma non-Cornellian who had heard therecord and wished to own it. He writes:

" I am a glee club devotee and yoursis one of the finest—or I should say, thefinest—I have ever heard. Also the re-cording, technically, is a gem of fidelity.I have a high-fidelity sound system, andthe technical perfection of this recordis such as almost to bring the voices intothe room as in real life. This fidelity isalso amazingly lifelike in the case of theChimes and the Band. Congratulationson a masterful Glee Club and a superbrecording!"

Sorority Pledges

T H E T H I R T E E N sorority chapterspledged 253 new members, February 24,after two weeks of formal rushing. Some580 women signed up for rushing about130 more than last year. The chapterspledged about the same number afterformal rushing last year.

Before they started their trek of thehouses, rushees were equipped with aninformational booklet, "It's All Greekto Me," and presented the sorority andnon-sorority way of life at a panel dis-cussion sponsored by Panhellenic Coun-cil. The day before rushing began, TheSun, in an editorial "Too Many Wom-en," strongly criticized the rushingchairmen for voting only two openhouses in which the chapters could meetprospective members, declaring "thesorority women have not been fair tothemselves or to the rushees."

FOLLOWING THE STARS OF OTHER YEARSBy ROBERT J. KANE '34, DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

5.—John L. Collyer '17: OarsmanNo MAN has more consistently put togood use the lessons learned in competi-tive athletics than John L. Collyer '17,former great oarsman and now presi-dent of the B. F. Goodrich Co. Rowingis and has been an important influencein John Collyer's life. In fact, he camevery close at one time to making crewcoaching a career.

One of his Goodrich executives lendspersuasive testimony to his close adher-ence to the crew concept: "Those of usin B. F. Goodrich who were here 'BC(before Collyer)' have come to know,respect, and understand Mr. Collyer'sinsistence on 'teamwork' which underhis outstanding leadership for twelveyears has almost completely transformedthis company. The lessons he learned inathletic competition have been appliedin a most practical and workable waytoward solving problems encounteredevery day in industry and business.Those of us on the team know that wehave a great stroke oar and captain in

American industry." His own very evi-dent endeavor to retain physical fitnessis another indication of his devotion tothe Spartan rowing ideal.

Born in Chelsea - on - Hudson, JohnCollyer spent two years at Manual Train-ing High School in New York City andtransferred to Cascadilla School inIthaca to prepare for Cornell. " I wantedto go to Cornell because of its eminentCollege of Mechanical Engineering andbecause of its leadership in rowing." Herowed at Cascadilla and was managerof the football team. At Cornell, he be-came stroke of the Freshman crewwhich did not lose a race, beatingPrinceton and Harvard in dual competi-tion and winning at Poughkeepsie.

The Varsity crew his Sophomore year,of which he was stroke oar, consistedalmost wholly of members of this fineFreshman crew of the year before, amost unusual development in CoachCharles Courtney's regime. They wonthe Intercollegiate Regatta at Pough-keepsie and were second to Syracuse in1916. Before war and the draft cancelledrowing and all athletics in 1917, JohnCollyer proved himself an able coachfor he took over the coaching duities inthe fall of 1916 when Mr. Courtney wasincapacitated because of injuries re-ceived in a railroad accident.

Almost Became Cornell Coach

Graduating in 1917 as a mechanicalengineer and naval architect, he joinedBethlehem Shipbuilding Corp. and fiveyears later, Romeyn Berry '04, CornellGraduate Manager, asked him to comeback as rowing coach. This appealedstrongly to young John, and it was onlyafter great mental anguish that he re-luctantly decided to remain in industry.

He was with Bethlehem until 1923,when at the age of twenty-nine he be-came vice-president of Dunlop Tire &Rubber Co. in Buffalo. Six years later,he went with the parent company, Dun-lop Rubber Co., Ltd., in England asworks director of the plant at Fort Dun-lop. It was there that he took up singlesculling. He also rowed three years in aneight-oared crew which won each yearin the club rowing races. The club crewswere made up mostly of former Oxfordand Cambridge oarsmen. His associa-tion in these rowing activities formed thebasis for valuable friendships with manyof England's foremost citizens, notablySir Harcourt Gold and Sir Clive Bail-leau, both of whom were active scullers.

It was during Collyer's residence inEngland that he renewed fond acquaint-anceship with another rowing enthusi-ast, David Goodrich, whose fatherfounded the Goodrich Rubber Co.Goodrich was captain of the 1898 Har-vard crew. He and Collyer had becomefriends at Poughkeepsie regattas whileJohn was the Cornell representative onthe board of stewards of the Intercol-legiate Rowing Association from 1930-36 and Goodrich was annually one ofthe timers of the event. In 1939, Good-rich, chairman of the board, invitedJohn to become president of the B. F.Goodrich Co. Goodrich, a Rough Riderwith Teddy Roosevelt and described byRoosevelt as "the bravest soldier I haveever known," died in 1950.

Under John Collyer's competent guid-ance, B. F. Goodrich Co. has grown andprospered. In 1950, sales and productionwere the highest in the company's

The John Collyer has been used forpractice until this year.

eighty-year history and earnings were66 percent more than in 1949. Net profitwas $34,708,335 ($524.19 a share). Theyear 1951 was expected to top 1950.

Advised Synthetics in Last WarJohn Collyer shocked some of his bus-

iness-as-usual colleagues in the rubberindustry in early 1940 by advocating agovernment-sponsored program of themanufacture of synthetic rubber as asafeguard against possible loss of cruderubber supply from the Far East. Hiswarnings went unheeded for a while, sohe set up a man-made-rubber programat Goodrich expense. This was recog-nized in December, 1946, when by ex-ecutive order of the President he wasawarded the Medal of Merit for "fore-sight, ability, and energy exerted in thedevelopment and execution of a pro-gram to provide the armed forces andthe country with the rubber productsneeded in the war effort."

Now he is again heckling bureaucraticWasington by persistantly advocatingthe intelligent distribution of rubbersupplies and proper stockpiling. It wasdue principally to his insistence last yearthat some of the government stockpilewas released for industrial consumptionand 200,000 tons a year was added tosynthetic rubber production capacity.This forestalled the rubber panic thatthreatened in the summer of 1951.Thank John Collyer, those of you whocan buy a new car, that you now receivea spare tire with it!

Outstanding Business Leader

Selected by Forbes magazine as oneof the fifty "Most Outstanding Leadersin Business" in this country, he can al-ways find time to help Cornell Univer-sity, of which he is a Trustee, presidentof the Class of '17, and member of theUniversity Council. He was chairmanof the successful Greater Cornell Fundcampaign which raised $12,760,000. Healso lends spiritual and material supportto his beloved avocation, rowing, by hisattendance at crew races and donatingthe individual medals which go to theoarsmen in each of the three winningboats in the Intercollegiate Rowing As-sociation regatta. Lack of facilities inAkron prevents participation in sculling,but he hopes to resume some day. Sail-ing and tennis are summer diversions.

Collyer was made Chevalier of theLegion of Honor by decree of theFrench Republic in 1949. He was chair-man of the Business Advisory Council ofthe US Department of Commerce in1947 and 1948, is a trustee of the Com-mitee for Economic Development, vice-president and executive committeemember of the Air Foundation directorof the Foundation for American Agri-culture; and is chairman of the Ameri-can Olympic Committee group raisingfunds from business and industry. He

has honorary degrees from Mount Hol-yoke College, Ohio State University,New York University, Marietta College,and University of Akron.

He would have made a whale of agood crew coach, though!

Forty Years AgoMarch, 1912—"Saluting Spring with

a revolver is not likely to become a reg-ular custom in Ithaca, the city authori-ties discourage it so. Last year a studentwho greeted Spring in that way wasfined $20. This year it is more expensive.The Vernal Equinox was welcomed onthe Hill in a noisy manner, with horns,bells, and rattles, and a Freshman wascaught by a policeman at Eddy andSeneca Streets while in the act of firinga revolver. He was arrested. In the citycourt next day he pleaded guilty andsaid he was simply observing what hehad been told was an old Cornell cus-tom. Judge Crowley assured him thatshooting firearms on the street was notcustomary and was unlawful and finedhim $50. He might have got more sym-pathy if the weather had been warmer."

Long Arm of CoincidenceBy ISRAEL KAPLAN, PhD '50

CORNELL STORY go-ing back seventyyears comes full cir-cle with a generousgift made to theUniversity Libraryby Charles J. Pater-

son, CE '07, of Cleveland, Ohio. Thegift, a collection of Kipling, contains179 items; the earliest dated book is1881. In that year, the late Wolcott Bal-estier '85 came to Cornell as a studentin the Optional Course, and in the fol-lowing spring his sister Caroline jour-neyed from Rochester to visit our Cam-pus. Thus began a Cornell link to Kip-ling, of which more later.

The Paterson collection fills a dis-tinct gap in the Cornell Library, whichhas been weak in Kipling. Here are theelusive and excessively rare early worksof a master story-teller, in first editions,and in mint condition. No Kipling col-lection can presume to be completewithout these thirteen titles: SchoolboyLyrics, Echoes, Quartette, Departmen-tal Ditties, Plain Tales From The Hills,City Of Dreadful Night, Letters ofMarque, and those six amazing volumesof the Indian Railway Library series:Soldiers Three, Story Of The Gadsbys,In Black And White, Under The Deo-dars, The Phantom 'Rickshaw, and WeeWillie Winkie, all of which gave evi-dence of "a new literary star rising inthe East."

Every one of these titles is in the Pat-erson gift. And several of them havehigh association value. The volume ofSchoolboy Lyrics, for instance, bearstwo sketches by Kipling, done in ink onthe front cover. Echoes is inscribed "tothe Padre from Gigs" (to George Willes,the Latin-master of Stalky & Co., from"Giglamps," the near-sighted youngKipling who wore thick glasses). In ad-dition, there is a file of the United Serv-ices College Chronicle from July 18,1878, to December 17, 1894, bound intwo volumes. These contain the earliestwritings of Kipling, when he was work-ing on his school newspaper.

The rest is far from ordinary. Thereare special limited printings, the thirty-seven-volume "Outward Bound" edi-tion, and many out-of-print and hard-to-find items. In fact, nothing is lackingthat a moderate amount of time and asmall financial outlay cannot fill in.Manuscripts, of course, are another con-sideration. But like attracts like, and we

ISRAEL KAPLAN, who writes aboutthe Kipling collection given to the Li-brary and the University's early connec-tion with the "master story-teller," cameto the Graduate School in 1946 and tookhis major studies in the field of Ameri-can Literature with Professor Harold W.Thompson, English, as his principal ad-viser. His dissertation for the PhD wason "Rudyard Kipling From Sea to Sea."He was also a graduate assistant in theEnglish Department. Now he teachesEnglish in the State University of NewNew York Teachers College at Potsdam.

can hope that private owners, whenthey are aware of the excellence of ourKipling collection in print, may wish tosupplement it with manuscripts.

According to the papers of the Ro-chester Historical Society, the Balestierswere an unconventional and lively fam-ily. Wolcott distinguished himself in hisone year at Cornell. He was electedpresident of his Class and was honoredby a Sophomore kidnaping on the eve ofthe Frosh banquet. He wrote for theCornell Era, and finally went into pub-lishing. Caroline's visit to Ithaca was thestimulus for two poems from her pen;one of them was entitled "The ChimesOf Cornell."

In 1888, Wolcott Balestier went toLondon as a literary agent, intent onhelping British and American authorsthrough the pirate-infested waters oftrans Atlantic publishing. (The Interna-tional Copyright Bill was not passed un-til July 1, 1891.) Balestier maintaineda kind of bachelor's hall, with his sisterCaroline keeping house for him. WhenKipling and Balestier met, the attrac-tion was mutual and instantaneous.

But the association was tragically cutshort on December 6, 1891, when Bales-tier, who had gone to Dresden to pushthe new publishing firm of Heinemann& Balestier, died, of typhus. Severalmonths later Kipling married Caroline,and the young couple came to Brattle-boro, Vt., to establish a permanent resi-dence. But that, as Kipling would say,is another story. In a literary way, thechief memorials to the Kipling-Balestierassociation are The N-aulahka, writtenby both young men in collaboration, andKipling's dedicatory verses to WolcottBalestier, which preface the first editionof Barrack-Room Ballads. A fine copyof this edition is in the Paterson collec-tion.

Basketball Keeps Up

I N PREPARATION for its crucial trip toPennsylvania on Saturday, March 8,and Columbia on Monday, March 10,the baseketball team overwhelmed twoLeague teams, Harvard and Dart-mouth, and one non-League opponent,Bucknell, and lost to another non-League rival, Syracuse.

In defeating Harvard at Cambridge,February 22, by a score of 71-50, Ray-mond Handlan '53 tossed in 18 pointson seven field goals and four foul shotsand Co-captain Roger Chadwick '52matched his seven field goals but shotno fouls. Dennis of Harvard netted 15points. Harvard put up a game battle,but it could not match the Cornelliansin shooting or defensive abilities.

The next night at Hanover, Cornelldefeated Dartmouth, 57-41, but theprogress toward victory was far moredifficult. The half ended 28-21 in Cor-nell's favor, but the tightness of Dart-mouth's defense kept the smooth-work-ing Cornellians from penetrating veryoften. In the third quarter, Senior JohnWerner's jump-shots widened the mar-gin. Only Chadwick and Werner wereable to score in double figures: Chad-wick had 12, Werner, 24. No Dartmouthman could achieve two digits. Cobb andWisdom had 8 apiece.

In the game played at Syracuse's newArchbold Gymnasium, the home teambeat Cornell in a rough game, 57-50.All the fouls were not called by the offi-cials, although they called forty-four. Asin the other game this season at BartonHall between the two schools, the depthof the Syracuse material was the decid-ing factor. The half ended with Syra-cuse in front, 30-27, and in each of theremaining quarters Syracuse manageda 2-point advantage, 15-13, 12-10. Co-captain Chadwick was high for Cornelland Frank Reddout was tops for the eve-ning with 20 as the Cornell defense wasable to hold the Syracuse star scorers,Miller and Roche, to 7 and 4 points,respectively. Roche made a Barton Hallrecord in the first game when he threwin 35 points.

A new Barton Hall and Cornell scor-ing record was set, March 1, as Cornell

swamped Bucknell, 87-67. The previoushigh of 82 points was set in 1943 againstRome Army Air Base, and tied againstGettysburg at Gettysburg and Rider atIthaca, both in 1950.

In fashioning this record, Cornellmade 19 in each of the first two periods,26 in the third, and 23 in the fourth per-iod. Co-captain Chadwick was againhigh with 19 points. Werner and Hand-lan each had 12 and Sophomore Wen-dell MacPhee made 10. It was DavidBradfield '54, of Ithaca, son of ProfessorRichard Bradfield, Agronomy, whoscored 5 points in a row to first tie andthen break the record.

The Freshman basketball team con-tinued its all-winning ways in beatingManlius, 85-56; Ithaca College juniorvarsity, 86-57; Syracuse junior varsity79-69; and Wyoming Seminary, 61-40.Outstanding on this team coached byRoss H. Smith are John A. Sheehy ofGarden City, Max H. Mattes of New-ton Falls, Ohio, Henry J. Buncom ofIthaca, James C. Callahan of Salem,Ohio, and Daniel H. Krouner of Al-banv.

Gourdine was firstin the broad jump with a leap of 24feet 5% inches and was second to PeterMcCreary of Dartmouth in the sixty-yard high hurdles. This was a switch ofhis 1951 performance when he was sec-ond in the broad jump, first in the hur-dles. Gardiner tied for second in theshotput with Joseph McLaughlin of St.Joseph's at 49 feet Vi inch.

Cornell was fourth with 22% pointsin the Heptagonal Games indoor cham-pionship meet in New York at 102d

Hewas also fourth in the thirty-five-poundweight throw with a heave of 53 feet8 inches. Eugene A. Zeiner '52 finishedin a four-way tie for first in the polevault at 13 feet with Zimmerman ofPenn, Eisenhart of Army, and Mello ofHarvard.

Olt '53 in the 100-yard free-style.

Tuition and Fees Go Up

TUITION INCREASE next fall for studentsin the endowed divisions of the Univer-sity and increased fees for all studentswere announced, March 4. The increas-es were authorized by the executivecommittee of the Board of Trustees,which met in New York City the daybefore.

President Deane W. Malott explainedthat the increases were made necessaryby continually rising costs of operation,and he said that the University wouldprovide "additional financial aids forstudents for whom the increase maymean hardship." He noted that "theUniversity will probably incur an oper-ating deficit of more than $300,000 forthe college year ending in June and,despite the increase in tuition and fees,will face an unbalanced budget nextyear." He pointed out that many othercolleges and universities have taken sim-ilar action and said that "Cornell is notonly concerned with budgetary balance,but with keeping the University a strongand vigorous educational institution."

Tuition next year will be raised from$300 to $350 a term for students in theColleges of Architecture, Arts & Sci-ences, Engineering, and the Schools ofBusiness & Public Administration, HotelAdministration, and Law; and from$250 to $350 a term for the GraduateSchool and Graduate School of Aero-nautical Engineering. Tuition remainsat $225 a term for the School of Nutri-tion and at $150 a term for studentsfrom outside New York in the StateColleges of Agriculture and Home Eco-nomics, State Veterinary College, andthe State School of Industrial & LaborRelations. Students in the GraduateSchool whose major studies are in theState-supported divisions will continueto pay the present Graduate School tui-tion of $250 a term.

The general fee required of all stu-dents will increase $10 a term in all di-visions except the Veterinary College,where it will raise $67.50 to $91 a term.This fee is used for laboratory materialsand normal breakage, Library use, serv-ices of the University Clinic and Infirm-ary, membership in Willard StraightHall, required Physical Educationcourses, some student activities, and ad-ministrative charges. The new rate willbe $60 a term in Architecture, Arts &Sciences, Business & Public Administra-tion, Engineering, Graduate School,Aeronautical Engineering, Law, andNutrition; $61 for Industrial & LaborRelations; $62.50 for Agriculture; $66for Hotel Administration; and $86 aterm for Home Economics.

Present tuition rates, for the mostpart, have been in effect since 1948, ex-cept Engineering, which was increasedto $300.a term in 1947. Tuition for the

334

Graduate School was increased $50 ayear beginning last fall and the generalfee was standardized in the endoweddivisions of the University.

Professor Broughton Dies

PROFESSOR LESLIE NATHAN BROUGH-

TON, PhD Ί l , English, Emeritus, andcurator of the Wordsworth Collectionin the University Library, died March

3, 1952, in Ithaca,where he lived at931 North TiogaStreet. As curatorof the WordsworthCollection since1930, ProfessorB r o u g h t o n p u tgreat effort intobuilding it intoone of the mostcomplete and use-ful in the country.

He interested Trustee Victor Emanuel'19, his former pupil, in acquiring thecollection for the University. Emanuelgave the collection in 1925 and has sinceadded to it.

Professor Broughton received the ABin 1900 and the AM in 1910 at UnionCollege; became an instructor in Eng-lish here in 1910 after four years as in-structor and registrar at CascadillaSchool. He retired in 1945. A memberof Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Gamma Mu,American Association for the Advance-ment of Science, and other learned so-cieties, he was author or editor of sev-eral volumes on Wordsworth and editorof concordances to Keats and Browning.His last contribution to scholarship wasa Bibliography of Robert Browning, onwhich he collaborated with ProfessorClark S. Northup '93, English, Emer-itus, and which will be published by theCornell University Press. Union Collegeawarded him the honorary LLD in1945. Mrs. Broughton died in 1950.

More Gilbert & Sullivan

T H E COMMUNITY has come to look for-ward with pleasure to the annual pres-entation of Gilbert & Sullivan by themen's and women's Glee Clubs and theDramatic Club. This year, it was thedelightful nonsense of the "The Piratesof Penzance" that sold out the Univer-sity Theater in Willard Straight Hall forsix performances, March 5-9. And thosewho got in went away wishing for more!

Again as in "H.M.S. Pinafore" lastspring, the Glee Club tenor, WilliamL, Hodges '52, and Lorina J. Smith '53,daughter of Nelson F. Smith '28, wereaccomplished in the leading parts ofyoung Frederic, the pirate apprentice,and his lady love, Mabel. Baritone JohnF. Craver '52, son of Dr. Lloyd F. Crav-

er '15, carried well the role of the PirateKing; and Frances D. Hazell '54,daughter of Cyril E. Hazell '19, wasperfectly cast as Ruth, the pirate maid.But the one who almost stopped theshow was the distracted Major GeneralStanley, Stephen R. Frankel '53. Hiscomic turns were almost matched in thelesser role of the Sergeant by JudahBest '54 and his corps of solemn police-men.

The costumes were colorful and theaction had several ingenious touches asdirected by Edwin Hansen, Grad, of theUniversity Theatre staff. Thomas B.Tracy '31, director of the Glee Clubs,was assisted by Wendell S. Williams,Grad, in the musical direction; and theaccompanists were Janice Button '53and R. Bruce Archibald '55, son of Wal-ter A. Archibald '20.

An Undergraduate Observes . . .

Argue Sunday ActivitiesT H E FOURTH COMMANDMENT ("Re-member the Sabbath day to keep itholy") has been a source of heated argu-ment by students this month. The trou-ble began when members of the men'sJunior Class Council and the RhythmClub, scurrying to reserve Bailey Hallfor a Sunday-night jazz concert by "HotLips" Page, ran up against the FacultyCommittee on the Scheduling of PublicEvents. Since the student groups hadsold tickets and begun their publicitybefore arranging for the Hall, cancella-tion of the concert was given prominenttreatment by the Sun. Protests werequickly heard, in the form of Campuscomment and letters to the editor, plusa Sun editorial, all picking flaws in theexplanatory statement given by thechairman of the Faculty Committee.

The Committee chairman said it was"against the policy of the University tohold events of this sort on Campus Sun-day afternoons or evenings" and "theheavy program schedule through theweek and the intense round of activitiesover the week end" were cited as a prin-cipal reason for refusal of permission forthe concert. The protesters saw impli-cations that students lack the intelli-gence to decide how many events theyshould attend, and pointed to the regu-lar scheduling of Sunday-afternoon con-certs by the Music Department and Wil-lard Straight Hall, Sunday-night per-formances by the Dramatic Club, andto a forthcoming Sunday presentationof Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pirates ofPenzance." There was also vigorous ob-jection to the "blue law" principle, onthe ground that an alleged minorityshould have no right to enforce theirwishes on a Campus majority whowould not object to Sunday events.

John Stryker Piper (above),Class Chaplain, has been doingmore novel things which callfor a postscript to his biographyas first published in the ALUM-NI NEWS of October 1, 1951.

Over the mountains from John's parish atMiddlesboro, Ky., his Bishop discovered a

little group who had been brought up in theworship of the Episcopal Church and con-tinued to worship in that manner withoutmuch to go on. Every fourth Sunday theBishop was able to send them a minister,and in between, services were conducted bytwo laymen, sometimes in private homes,sometimes in public buildings. The littleparish flourished. The Bishop was impressedby their zeal. He visited them, financed thepurchase of a lot, and sent them from overthe mountains as their resident vicar theRev. John Stryker Piper.

After thirty-one years as an active engi-neer and then ten more as a clergyman,John looked down upon his new parish ofSt. Marks and saw in a split second (1)that what his little parish needed was achurch of its own; and (2) that the onlyway for them to get it was for him to layaside his vestments six days a week, get outhis old drawing board and blue dungarees,and build the thing himself with what helphe could pick up from among the parish-ioners. There aren't many clergymen forty-two years out of college who are still cap-able of designing and building even a littlechurch; but there are few clergymen whohad been active and successful engineersthrough two wars and for thirty-one yearsbefore they took Holy Orders. The Bishopknew his man! The job is fully financed andsubstantially completed, and John canshortly look forward to a second retirementwhich will permit him to wear clerical garbseven days a week. The picture above showshim in working garb at the door of hispartly-completed church.

St. Marie's has not been without helpfrom other parishes in the Diocese of Lex-ington. From the Church of the Good Shep-herd in Lexington has come a noteworthyaltar and from Christ Church, old choirstalls which have been converted into pews.But most of this modest little church in thehills is the work of a former Cornell engi-neer, John Stryker Piper, and his peopleknow it!

Take it from Marcel Sessler, the bloom-ing artist who is about to have three paint-ings on exhibition at once in two shows,Henry Cape has the rest of us looking likeMethuselahs.

EVER DREAMOF SPENDING

A MILLIONDOLLARS?

Then consider this:

If you had started on January 1 in the year 1236 — two hundred fifty-six years before Columbus discovered America—and spent ONE MILLION

DOLLARS EVERY DAY throughout that yeai . . .

. . . and if you had continued to spend ONE MILLION DOLLARS EVERY DAY

of every year in the 716 years that have elapsed since that t i m e . . .

. . . it would still take you until May 8, 1953, to spend as much money asthe U. S. Government has collected in taxes since World War II ended.

That's what the 262 billion tax dollars which your Federal Governmenthas collected and spent in the period from August, 1945, to January,1952—amounts to.

That's why $1.00 out of every $5.00 you've earned in the last 6ιΛ yearshas gone for Federal Taxes. *

That's why $1.00 out of every $4.00 you'll earn this year is earmarkedfor Federal taxes. *

*This is in addition to the State, County and Local taxes you pay— including your State gasoline tax.
