Price of VictoryAs this issue of THE ALUMNI-ALUMNAE RE­

VIEW goes to press, three alumni of Rochester arelisted in the roll of America's wartime dead.

Ensign Robert H. Zwiershke, '39, died in actionabroad the aircraft carrier Lexington when the big

ship was stricken in the Coral Sea battle. On June22nd an airplane crash at Pensacola claimed thelives of Ensigns Frank Parske and Donald T.

O'Keefe, both of the class of 1941, naval aviation

instructors at the Florida air base.

All three were fine students, all had won a dis­

tinction in college activities that gave promise ofgreat accomplishments had they been spared formore mature fields of action.

The entire University community mourns them,and offers their grieving relatives and friends itssincere sympathy. It is one of war's most hatefultragedies that it demands the best of the nation'syoung men, demands their services and their lives.We take pride, but find little comfort, in the re­flection that this trio of alumni offered their servicespromptly and eagerly. They had much to give, andthey gave it all. We know that they enjoyed theexcitement and adventure that crowded the final

_months of their lives. As long as we remember them-and we shall not soon forget them-and as longas their sacrifice drives us to new efforts in war andpeace, these three, in defiance of death, will begallant and gay and young.

War Stresses Medicine, Science;300 Students in Summer Sessions

Vacations will be abbreviated almost to the vanishingpoint this summer for many students and professors, Presi­dent Alan Valentine told the Board of Trustees at its annualmeeting on May 11 tho About 300 students-200 men and100 women-are attending the Intersession and SummerSession in the College of Arts and Science, under the Uni­versity's accelerated program, and the College of Medicineand Dentistry is also operating on a similar year-round plan.

The war has already brought sweeping changes in theUniversity, President Valentine informed the trustees; manymembers of the faculty have been called into the armedforces, or have been summoned to take over key posts indefense research or government war agencies. SelectiveService has taken few students, but many have volunteered.Others have signed up with Navy V-5 and V-7 programs,and are continuing their college studies, along special lines,with ultimate service in the Navy as their goal.

"It is therefore impossible to estimate the number ofundergraduate or graduate students or faculty who will bewith us in September," the president said. "We know thatmany who may go cannot be replaced, for no men in theirspecial fields are now available. We have been carryingon from week to week, but next year we may be carryingon from day to day.

"The demands of war tend to expand or accentuate theimportance of certain schools or departments and to under­emphasize others. This emphasis often conflicts with anyreasonable long-term balanced educational policy. This con­stitutes one of our most difficult educational problems. Weare eager to serve in every practical, reasonable way the im­mediate needs of the nation, and the sum total of our variedcontributions to the war effort is great. We are also trying tokeep the University in reasonable balance. Thus we servetwo masters, at present a difficult job and perhaps in thefuture an impossible one.

APRlL-MAY 1942

"Our work in medicine and in nearly all the sciences hasgained in emphasis (and in some cases alter.ed in direction)from war demands. Engineering, nursing and the socialsciences in part have' also gained in prominence, in somecases through outside-University support. These are all fieldsin which it is difficult to maintain our superb staffs. Ingeneral the vocational and immediate are reflected in ourstudents' interests. Comparatively, the liberal arts and musicsuffer, through no fault of ours. In time their value mustbe recognized even in wartime by society, and their supportaugmented."

The science departments of the University have beengeared to war, with an increasing volume of wartime re­search projects, Mr. Valentine reported. This is particularlytrue of the Institute of Optics. The department of engineer­ing has trained 1,443 men in defense courses under thedirection of Professor ]. Lawrence Hill, '27.

The Eastman School of Music was cited for its coast-to­coast broadcasts, over the Columbia network, of weeklyprograms portraying the developing of American music from1850 to 1942.

Only one out of ten applicants to the Medical School wasadmitted last year, according to the report of Dean GeorgeH. Whipple, who pointed out that medical schools canbest serve their country by continuing their training ofable medical students; it takes longer, Dr. Whipple said,"to train a medical officer than to build a battleship."

War has shaped the research programs of the school, itwas reported. Surgical shock, gas gangrene, burns, plasticsurgery are among the fields that have received acceleratedattention during the past year; gas gangrene study, carriedon by Dr. R. L. Sewell and Dr. A. H. Dowdy, has been soextensive that it has been necessary to build an addition tothe Animal House to shelter the large number of animalsrequired.

War moved the University's· 1942 Commencement toMay 11th, over a month ahead of the normal time, andwar underlined other changes as 417 graduates receivedtheir degrees in the Eastman Theater.

Many of the newly-fledged alumni had already enlisted,or were awaiting calls to various branches of the armedforces. Practically all of the forty-three graduates of theSchool of Medicine and Dentistry already had been com­missioned as Navy ,ensigns or Army lieutenants. As a re­sult of war the number of graduate degrees was notice­ably less, with many men pursuing Japs instead of masters'degrees and doctorates, or working in defense industries.

Commencement speaker was James W. Wadsworth ofGeneseo, former Senator, now Representative in the UnitedStates Congress for the Thirty-Ninth District. He receivedthe honorary degree Doctor of Laws; his citation, pro­nounced by Professor Dexter Perkins, termed him "astatesman who cares more for candor than for conformity,and who does not give up to party what is mean formankind."

Cornelia Otis Skinner, author and aaress, was made aDoctor of Humane Letters; Dr. Frederick Fuller Russell,emeritus professor of preventive medicine at Harvard Uni­versity, one of the pioneers in immunization against typhoidfever, and Sewall Wright, authority on heredity andgenetics, became Doctors of Science; Ernest Hutcheson,president of the Juilliard School of Music, Doctor of Music;

and Harry M. Lydenberg, former head of the New YorkPublic Library and now director of the Biblioteca BenjaminFranklin in Mexico City, Doctor of Letters.

An international order in which the United States wouldjoin hands "with those other peoples whom we know wecan trust" to preserve world peace was proposed by Con­gressman Wadsworth in his Commencement address.

"The processes of evolution, over which thus far wehave had little, if any control, has brought us to a point atwhich we must admit our healthy participation in worldaffairs is necessary," he said. "With our example and ourencouragement more and more nations will learn that libertyis precious and that peace, founded upon a liberal under­standing, is essential to its preservation. We should not un­dertake another Article 10. Instead, it would be better forus and better for the world, if the American people, de­voted to liberty, join hands with those other peoples whowe know in our hearts are likewise devoted to liberty­people whom we can trust.

"I go so far as to suggest that we would better pick andchoose a little bit, and if we attempt such a thing we mustbe sure that there is nothing punitive or oppressive in ourprogram. We must let it be known that we have no inten­tion of governing the daily lives of people in other lands.But in their relations with the rest of the world they mustbehave decently."

Alumnae Fund Boasts 800 Givers;Class Agents Star in Follow-up

Scores of new and increased contributions to the AlumnaeFund have made its initiation a tremendous success. TheJune report showed that 800 alumnae have contributed$2,902.50, and gifts come in with every new mail. Only$132 of the total was recorded in pledge form, and theaverage gift has increased 74 percent above last year.

The response of alumnae from all divisions of the Uni­versity-arts, music, nursing and medicine-has been mostgratifying. Class agents have pursued their classmates withpersonal letters and have brought in some $900 plus inter­esting bits of news and many new address changes foralumnae who have moved all over the country and into for­eign lands doing various kinds of governmental and defensework.

An analysis of the Fund shows that the Class of 1929 ison top with the number of its contributors at 41. Second andthird place go to 1939 and 1936 respectively, and a tie of30 members each for the classes of 1928 and 1925. In the

6

'teen age group 1918 and 1917 are leading with 28 and 26contributors, while 1910 leads the earlier group with 17members.

Orchids go to 1918 for raising the largest amount ofmoney as a class-$157. The young 'uns of 1939 are a closesecond with $141.50, and prove that they are right in thespirit of the Fund. Reunion Class of 1917 adds anotherlaurel to this year's record by placing third with $137.50.

One of the most interesting features of the analysis is thenumber of new contributors. Of the 165 who are new, 56per cent are from out of town, which is indicative of theconstant and growing support of regional alumnae. Thescholarship item was checked by enough alumnae so that$970.25 can be used to help undergraduates meet tuitionexpenses. This is 125 more than has ever been raised forthis purpose.

The major portion of the rest of the money has been"undesignated" so that the University can direct it where

Alumni Fund Exceeds 1941 Amounts.·.··As Grads in Uniform Show the Way

Gifts to the Alumni Fund, in the ten weeks that it hasbeen in operation, exceed by over $400 the total amountcollea,ed in membership fees in all of 1941. On June 10th707 alumni had contributed $5,389-and the gifts are stillpouring in.

Only $455 of this sum is in the form of pledges; thebalance is in cash. The average gift thus far is $7.60, 80percent above the 1941 average.

University and alumni officials are more than pleasedwith the results, which take on new significance when it isconsidered that hundreds of alumni in the armed forces,many of them serving abroad, ,either have not yet learnedabout the Fund plan, or are unable, on their service pay, toparticipate in it. To be sure, some alumni, drawing $21 amonth from Uncle Sam, have not only written in to expresstheir enthusiastic approval of the plan, but have sent alongtheir contributions. Their share in this Fund venture is aninspiring challenge to those of us still living under some­what normal conditions.

Effort is being made to have alumni of the School ofM,edicine and Dentistry and of the Eastman School of Musicshare wholeheartedly in the Fund. A beginning has beenmade; the mechanics of the new plan have delayed follow­up appeals to these alumni, which explains the comparativelysmall number of contributors from these alumni areas.

A breakdown of the Fund returns by classes shows 1939leading with thirty-two contributors, 1940 being close behindwith thirty-one and 1938 with thirty. Among the smallerand older classes 1914 is out in front with eighteen con­tributors, followed closely by 1920 and 1926 with seventeeneach. The leading class in amount of money raised is 1910with $243 from fifteen contributors; 1898 has given $215and 1909 $213.

This is only the beginning, of course. Alumni officers are

APRIL-MAY 1942

confident that new records, in number of contributors andin amount, will be set before the year ends. The AlumniFund has met its first test, and in spite of wartime handicapshas come through with flying colors.

That test will not be complete, of course, until the com­ing months bring in a swelling harvest of contributions.There are hundreds of alumni who have not yet participatedin the Fund plan, which gives every graduate, of whateverfinancial status, a chance to share in the task of supportingthe educational programs of the University.

If YOU haven't contributed-send in your check now,before summer inertia sets in! Send in your gift; make it aslarge as you can; and add something to' help make goodthe gaps in your classmates' ranks caused by enlistments.

Student Leader at Marshall HighWins Casey Scholarship for I942

The second Michael L. Casey Scholarship has beenawarded to Howard F. Hoesterey, 216 Curlew Street,Rochester, graduate of John Marshall High School, andbrother of Kenneth Hoesterey, '39.

HOWARD F.HOESTEREY

Casey Scholar

The new Casey Scholar has an outstanding scholarshipand activities record. He was president and vice-presidentof the Students' Association at John Marshall. He has

played two years of high school football, as fullback andquarterback. He was in the top ten in his graduating classof 282.

The first of the Casey Scholarships-which are awardedon the same basis as the Rochester Prize, Genesee, and othersimilar awards-was bestowed in 1941 upon Irving J.Baybutt, son of John W. Baybutt, '21. They carry a totalmaximum grant of $1,000, and were established to honorDr. Michael L. J. Casey, '95.

Special direct-mail appeals were conducted in December,1940, and in December, 1941, to raise funds to support thescholarships. Hereafter the scholarships will be financedthrough the annual Alumni Fund campaigns.

Medical School Wants AssistantsIn Paid and Volunteer Situations

There is a need for paid and volunteer assistants in manyof the departments of the School of Medicine and Dentistrynext year. Any alumna who can get further training inSummer School could be placed in any of the followingcapacities: one personal assistant in biochemistry, threeassistants in the department of medicine, four technicianswith chemical training in the department of surgery, onepermanent assistant technician in chemical laboratory inpediatrics, one technician in physiology, one full timewoman with sufficient training to qualify as a medicalstudent or graduate student in vital economics, and onetechnician in radiology.

Volunteers can be used in many of the departments, andalumnae are urged to call the Alumnae Office, Monroe 1237,if they are interested in further training to qualify for paidassistantships or in volunteer capacities.

Ezra Hale Named Alumni President;Medals Awarded Perkins and Roeser

The calendar said May 9th; but the weather, the at­tendance, and the program were typical of June at its verybest when the alumni held their Commencement Dinnerand Alumnite in Todd Union.

Beneath the gayety of the reunion celebration, however,there were notes of wartime tragedy as members of theyounger classes observed the gaps in their ranks and realizedthat the armed forces were holding grim and dangerousmeetings that night. Alumni in uniform were in Australia,and on the Coral Sea, and aboard troopships moving in con­voys across the Atlantic. Only a few hours before the meet-

ing Rochester's first alumnus to die in action had perishedabroad the aircraft carrier Lexington, although news of thedeath of Ensign Robert H. Zwiershke, '39, did not reachRochester until a month later.

War duties had called the alumni president, KennethB. Keating, '19, to become a major in the Army's Procure­ment Service, and his place as master of ceremonies wascapably filled by Ernest A. Paviour, '10, vice-president. Heset a record by achieving a draw in a buzzsaw vs. buzzsawexchange of pleasantries with President Alan Valentine,both sides acknowledging severe wounds inflicted in

Paviour's introduction and In the president's verbalcounterattack.

Other high spots of the evening program included:The awarding of the Cubley Cup, for the fourth time, to

the Class of 1892 ('Gene Raines, '02, dissenting).The unveiling of a portrait of Professor John R. Slater,

retiring chairman of the department of English. Thepiaure was painted by John Menihan, Rochester artist, andwas presented to the University by Bob Metzdorf, '33, inbehalf of a hundr.ed-odd friends of Dr. Slater.

The election of Ezra A. Hale, '16, as president of theAssociated Alumni.

The award of Alumni Medals to Eugene Roeser, '01, andto Professor Dexter Perkins, chairman of the department ofhistory.

An uproarious skit written by Harry A. Rositzke, Englishinstructor, in which President Valentine-played by Presi­dent Valentine-presented an honorary degree, via radio,to the king of Moronia, Africa. Others taking part wereEdgar C. Cummings, assistant professor of German; DelosCanfield, assistant professor of Spanish; Fordyce V. Cowing,'41, WHEC announcer, and Harmon S. Potter, '38, admis­sions counselor. The sketch had Rositzke's customary pro­fessional touch, and left the appreciative spectators weakwith laughter.

The entire slate of officers headed by Ez Hale and placedin nomination by John W. Remington, '17, was swept into

office without serious opposition. Vice-presidents electedinclude James E. McGhee, '20; Jacob R. Cominsky, '20,representing the New York Association; Robert S. Bur­rows, '31, Central Association; Walter C. Hurd, '07,Buffalo Association; Robert W. Werth, '10, WashingtonAssociation; George H. Darling, '34, New EnglandAssociation; C. Frederick Wolters, Jr., '15, PhiladelphiaAssociation; and Douglas A. Newcomb, '18, SouthernCalifornia Association. Re-elected were Matthew D. Lawless,'09, treasurer, and Charles R. Dalton, '20, executivesecretary.

Supreme Court Justice William F. Love, '03, presentedGene Roeser for the Alumni Medal award, and cited Gene'slong and outstanding list of services to the Univ.ersity andto the alumni-including his presidency of the AlumniAssociation, and his sponsorship of the memorable Townand Gown Dinner in 1941. Sponsor for Professor Perkinswas his associate in the department of history, GlyndonVan Deusen, '25, who told of the close and friendly re--­lationships between "Perky" and his former students thathave existed ever since the former came to Rochester in1915.

The portrait of Dr. Slater will, at his own request, hangin the Rush Rhees Library. The portrait idea, conceived byBob Metzdorf, is a revival, he said, of an old and pleasanttradition.

Dr. Skinner Entertains Alumnae;Three Given Honorary Memberships

The Annual Commencement Dinner for alumnae onMonday night, May 11th, climaxed a simplified programfor the commencement weekend with a real note ofhilarity. Cornelia Otis Skinner, famed authoress and actress,and the recipient of the degree Doccor of Humane Letters,was the guest speaker at the evening dinner.

Four hundred and fifty alumnae and guests heard herspeak briefly of some of her experiences in traveling forthe stage and of her appearances before club groups. Shestated that the professional artists of the stage believe theaxiom that the poorer the public speaker the greater theactress. Thus she gracefully excused herself from formalspeaking and entertained alumnae with two of her mono­logues-"Times Square at Theatre Time" and "The Factsof Life." The reception of these selections was best meas­ured by the gales of laughter they produced.

Ruth Tuthill Hoffmeister, '25, retiring president of theAlumnae Association, presided at the dinner and announcedthe new officers and directors of the Association for the

APRIL-MAY 1942

coming year. A story on the new officers is carried elsewherein this issue. The Cutler Cup was presented to MargueriteCastle, representative of the Class of 1912, which claimedthe highest percentage of members returning to their classreunion. A very close second was recorded by the Class of1917.

Marjorie Mathes Ashe, '38, presented to Dean Clark thecheck for $502.95 for the 1943 Dean's Fund that had beenraised by the reunion classes.

Since the program of the Association could not be ade­quately given in a verbal report by the Executive Secretarya printed Annual Report was distributed to every memberpresent at the dinner. Copies of this report are available inthe Alumnae Office for those who were unable to attendthe dinner and who desire a record of the year's program.

One of the highlights of the evening's program was thetribute tendered by Gertrude Herdle Moore, '18, to threenew honorary members of the Alumnae Association-ClaraAndrews Hale, Annette Gardner Munro, and Harriet Seelye

Other honorary alumnae are HelenDalton Bragdon, elected in 1933, Lucia Norton Valentine,elected in 1936, and Janet Howell Clark elected in 1938.

Their citation was, .. . . . Belonging to the formativeyears of the College for Women, they represent three ofits basic relationships-in Mrs. Hale with the Board ofTrustees and the University's friends in the community,in Miss Munro with its early administration, for she wasits first dean, and in Mrs. Rhees with its first president.Surely that is symbolic a company.

"For the length and depth of. your interest in yourCollege . . . for your gracious sponsorship of its interestsand activities, and for your high place in its history, wehave wished to make you sister Alumnae, and do so withgratitude and pride."

President Valentine spoke briefly on new developmentsat the University in light of the war, and trends that mightpossibly be expected in the future at the College forWomen. He indicated that liberal arts will doubtless findits stronghold at the Prince Street Campus as the RiverCampus yields to governmental research and scientifictraining for the duration. He thanked the undergraduates,men and women alike, for shouldering the burden of waradaptation in such an admirable fashion, and expressed hisappreciation to the alumnae for their assistance and supportin interpreting the accelerated program of the University.

On Saturday, members of the Class of 1942 held thespotlight at the Alumnae Luncheon given in their honor inCutler Union. Sixty-four graduates and eighty-three alum­nae attended the luncheon and heard Professor GeorgeCurtiss, class advisor for Seniors, wish the new alumnaesuccess in their ventures. Dean Clark re-echoed his remarkswith a masterpiece of couplets, which at the author's request,must forever remain among the unpublished works of ourtalented dean.

The President of the Alumnae Association welcomed theseniors into the Association. Colored slides of Moving UpDay were presented to Helen MacDonald, Senior ClassPresident, to be kept in the Alumnae Office for the fifthyear reunion of the Class of 1942. Following the showingof the slides, the newly graduated class elected JustineFurhman Harris as its representative to the alumnae Boardof Directors for the year 1942-43.

An exhibit of old photographs and scrap books wasarranged in the new alumnae office where members of thereunion classes mingled with alumnae and ·s·eniors overgems of the not too distant past.

Glee Club Beats Country's Best;Wins First in National Contest

The University of Rochester has the best Glee Club inthe country!

Competing against 140 other entrants in a nation-widecontest sponsored by Fred Waring, famed orchestra leader,the Rochester unit won its way to the finals, along withthe singers of seven other universities. Then, in CarnegieHall in New York City-temporarily the "Rose Bowl" ofcollege song - the forty-one-man .club won its decisivevictory.

Enthusiastic listeners hail the Glee Club triumph as oneof the most significant achievements in University history.Never before has a competing unit, team, or club fromRochester faced the formidable rivalry of the whole nationand won top place. Members of the club, overwhelmed bythe magnitude of their victory, rejoiced particularly that 'it had climaxed the six years of effort expended by DireaorArthur A. Whittemore, whose coaching career has beenterminated by his call to service in the United States Navy.

THE CHAMPION GLEE CLUB OF THE UNITED STATES

Competing against the leading Glee Clubs of the nation, the Rochester singers won a decisive 'lJictory atCarnegie Hall in New York, in a contest sponsored by Fred Waring. Behind the piano, at left, is theClub's director, Arthur A. Whittemore,. at the piano is Jack Lowe, accompanist. Both now are seekingvictories in other fields,. both have enlisted in the Navy.

Singing and showmanship, according to Fred Waring,brought Rochester to a well-deserved first place. In additionto the national title, the singers came back with a hugeTiffany-engraved cup of solid silver.

Judges included some of the most distinguished figuresin the world of music-Deems Taylor, Dr. Wilfred Pelle­tier, Richard Crooks, Richard Bonelli, Andre Kostelanetz,Sigmund Spaeth, New York's Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia,and George Abbott, '11, Rochester's shining gift to Broad­way.

No insignficant rivals confronted the Rochesterians in thefinals; they pitted their throats against singers from Purdue,Dartmouth, Duke, Oklahoma, Washington and Lee, Red­lands, and Elmhurst.

Preliminary skirmishes were conducted on a recordedbasis. Fred Waring's sponsors, makers of Chesterfield cig­arettes, sent expert recording crews and sound apparatusto all of the competing colleges. Rochester came throughwith flying colors in these regional tests. Its recording ofone of Waring's favorite numbers, "All the Things YouAre," created no little confusion in New York, where someof Waring's Pennsylvanians swore that a mistake had beenmade and a disc of the voices of Waring's own singerssubstituted for the Rochester entry.

for New York, by offering the boys a spot on the theaterprogram. Two special cars-provided by Chesterfield­took the club to New York. On Saturday morning, May30th, members were guests at a reception at City Hall,where they met Mayor LaGuardia and sang "The MarchingSong" for His Honor. That evening they were FredWaring's guests at a performance of "Sons 0' Fun."

The big test came Sunday afternoon, before a capacitycrowd at Carnegie Hall. Just before the performance theclub presented radios to Director Whittemore and to theclub accompanist, Jack Lowe.

In the final test the boys sang, according to Whittemore,"just as they always sing-or maybe 10 per cent better."It was good enough to win a rousing ovation from theaudience, and the winner's nod from the judges.

The decision, however, was not announced until 11 :20that evening, just before Waring and his Pennsylvanianswere due to go on the air. The Rochesterians, while awarethat they had sung their best, were far from confident whenFred Waring announced their victory, and they indulgedin some of the loudest cheering, screaming, and straightweeping that New York has heard in some years. Theywere on the air--coast-to-coast, of course-in the programthat followed, but were decidedly not at their best-accord­ing to Whittemore, some of the boys found it impossible

The report on last year's distribution of the Dean's Fundas submitted by Dean Clark gives a typical picture of thescope and value of the Fund~ Six students received smallamounts of money to be used as tuition scholarships. Theirmarks were just below the average for college scholarships,but the students were most worthwhile and valuable to thecollege community. The total amount expended for thesescholarships was $301.

Emergency medical bills were paid for five girls whoseUniversity infirmary fees had been exhausted. Doctors anddentists bills were paid, one student case hospitalized, andglasses purchased for another girl. The total of these ex­penditures was $95. Loans totaling $74 were made to fivestudents, three of whom have already repaid what theyborrowed.

New Alumnae Association LeaderBoasts of Dishwashing~ Kittens

An interview with Norma Storey Spinning, '18, newlyelected President of the Alumnae Association, turned outto be a delightfully whimsical adventure. According to her,the best qualification she has for the job is that she lives onthe same bus line as Cutler Union!

But the record tells a different story. As freshmen, theClass of 1918 elected her its President. She claims it wasjust that West High had a large delegation that year, butothers know better. In her senior year she was treasurerof the Students Association, and Norma says that followingher term of office they appointed auditors and elected ajunior class treasurer so that she would be available forquestioning the following year.

After her graduation with the famous Class of 1918 shetaught English at West High School. In 1934 she marriedJames M. Spinning, Superintendent of Schools in Rochester.She has been an active member of the Alumnae Associa­tion, serving as a board member and vice-president in1929-30 when Alice Challice Robinson was president. In1939 she was chairman of the Alumnae Council and is nowserving as co-chairman of the Alumnae War Stamp Boothat McCurdy's. She was chosen last year by the Universityto be an alumnae representative on the Advisory Committee

Reunion classes had cause to celebrate on Saturday, May9th, for their efforts in raising the Dean's Fund had beentremendously successful. The majority of the Classes heldluncheons in Munro Hall and afterward browsed aroundthe beautiful dormitory for women. Dr. Gale, who withMrs. Gale, was a guest of the Class of 1932, spoke to thereunioning alumnae on the many rapid changes and de­velopments at the University.

The Class of 1917 made an occasion of their "twenty­fifth." They attended the Alumnae Luncheon for the Classof 1942 in a group, spent the afternoon in reminiscence,and held a class dinner at the Century Club in the evening.Each classmate received a silver key ring bearing a "V" forVictory" emblem, inscribed "Class 1917, 25th Reunion."

The Class of 1912 maintained top performance in everyphase of their reunion effort, for in addition to attainingthe highest percentage of members returning for their classreunion, which won for them the Cutler Cup, it contributedthe highest amount toward the Dean's Fund, $115.

The Dean's Fund was begun in 1934 when MarionRichardson Bleyler, '29 and her five-year reunion classrepresentatives met to formulate plans for their reunions.At that time there was a great need for funds to helpstudents meet financial emergencies that were a serious haz­ard to the completion of their college courses. First aid wasalways rendered by the Dean, for it was to her ears thatthe problems came. Thus the money came either from herpurse or from that of some kind hearted benefactress whocould be whipped into action on the spur of the moment.Helpful as this was, it was completely inadequate.

When the classes of 1904, 1908, 1914, 1919, 1924, and1929 met to formulate their reunion plans, they decidedthat rather than the traditional five year reunion gifts ofeach class to their college, they would unite their effortsto establish a "gift fund" that the Dean could use for themany emergencies that arose. It was their hope that ther re­union classes might wish to do the same thing and thusperpetuate their plan.

Nine years of successful reunion class efforts have as­sured these alumnae that their hopes of perpeutating theDean's Fund have been realized. The amounts that havebeen raised by each group of reunion classes and presentedannually at the Commencement Dinner are very interesting:

Because she believes in the work of the American As­sociation of University Women and the League of WomenVoters, she is a member of those organizations. In speakingof the bi-weekly Red Cross Sewing Bees of the Class of1918, she remarked that throughout the two years of theirmeeting she knew of no one who had enjoyed them moreand done less work. But she did lay claims to her prowessat dishwashing.

Historic '92. Again Makes HistoryBy WinningCubleyCup FourTimes

The Class of 1892, which made history this year by win­ning the Cubley Cup for the fourth time, saw plenty ofhistory in the making while its members were in college,and played an active part in the launching of new projectsof great significance in the forward march of the Universityof Rochester.

Its members boast that one of their number, G. FredLove, brought Varsity football to the old Prince StreetCampus. Love came from Bucknell when President DavidJayne Hill left that Pennsylvania institution to head theUniversity of Rochester, and he coached the first Varsitysquad in the fall of 1889. Another man of '92, ThomasThackeray Swinburne, author of "The Genesee," wrote thefirst University song. During 1892's four-year reign thefirst Musical Club was organized, the first fraternity housewas established.

No one was surprised, therefore, when at the 1942 Com­mencement Dinner the Class of 1892, celebrating the fiftiethanniversary of its graduation, walked off with the CubleyCup. In 1928, in 1932, and in 1937 the class led all therest in the proportion of its members coming back to classreunions, and its tireless officers will not be satisfied untilthe potent numerals of 1892 are inscribed for the fifth time

-possibly in 1947-upon the silver trophy.The committee for the 1942 reunion included Trustee

Lewis Henry Thornton, permanent class president; Secre­tary John S. Wright, George B. Draper, Dr. Clifford V. C.Comfort, and George H. Harris, whose death two daysbefore the reunion muted the rejoicing that otherwise wouldhave greeted the class's quadrupled triumph.

John Wright, secretary of the class for the past half­century, recalls that he and his mates, as freshmen, saw theaging Martin B. Anderson in his last year as president ofthe University. Dr. Anderson was compelled to use twocanes when he walked about the campus, but he retainedenough of his fiery vigor to break up the 1888 "CaneRush" between '92 and its sophomore foe of '9l.

Even in those days, John recalls, the stone sphinxesguarding the door of Sibley Hall received an annual coat ofpaint at the hands of undergraduates. Considerate under­classmen of that era used soluble tints, so that the janitorialforce could clean the images with soap and water. Membersof '92, however, inadvertently daubed the sphinxes withoil paint, and for years University chemists sought a solventthat would remove the paint without dissolving the stone.

Until 1887 the fraternities rented meeting rooms, gen-

FAMOUS CLASS OF 1892 PRESERVES IN COPPER THE RECORD OF ITS EVENTFUL YOUTH

This house, incidentally, served the Dekesuntil 1918, when they moved to Prince Street, across fromthe campus.

For fifty years '92 has waged a vigorous but so far unsuc­cessful fight to have a college degree conferred uponThomas Swinburne, who completed four years at the Uni­versity without conquering mathematics, and who for thatreason did not graduate with his class. His classmates have

seen to it that their beloved singer has not gone unhonored,however. They paid for the huge job of transporting thegreat Swinburne boulder from Irondequoit to the riverbank opposite the Eastman Quadrangle, with Tommy'sfraternity brothers, the men of Theta Delta Chi, supplyingthe bronze tablet on which the verses of "The Genesee"are inscribed. Few realize that Swinburne's ashes restbeneath this boulder, not far from the river of his song.

The Class of 1892, or at least its representatives, wit­nessed as freshmen the passing of an ancient Rochestertradition that many alumni have labored in vain to revive-­the Burial of the Calculus. For decades the sophomoreclasses had conducted the annual rite of interring Calculus,as a symbol of their release from the hated bondage ofrequired mathematics. Calculus was buried on the campus;

on the lawns of high schools in villages surrounding Roch­ester; pushed overside from the decks of Lake Ontariosteamers. In 1889 the Class of 1891 planned the secretinterment of Calculus's dreadful sister, Ann A. Lytics. Itwas traditional that the ceremonies be not profaned by thepresence of freshmen; but some of the members of the1892 class tracked the sophomores to Niagara Falls, andwatched while Ann A. Lytics, placed on a raft and drenched

with coal oil, floated, flaming, down the river and overthe falls. The men of 1891 were taking no chances; theydidn't want a resurrection of Ann A. Lytics.

It is believed that this ceremony was the last of its sort.At about this time, apparently, "Clara," the skeleton, whoseromantic adventures were described in the previous issueof THE ALUMNI-ALUMNAE REVIEW, appeared on thecampus scene.

Alumnae Find Deftness in TypingIs Sure Key to Business Success

The tapping of typewriters in Catharine Strong Hall thisyear has spelled real success for the business training coursesthat have been offered by the University. Two large lecturerooms on the second floor have been thoroughly equippedfor Miss Mary Ehret, B. S. from the University of Buffaloand M. A. from New York University, who teaches thestudents how to read and write the curlicues of shorthandand be efficient in business procedures.

Instruction is available under three plans-an ExtensionCourse, an elective course for liberal arts students, and asa major in Business Education. An intensive four monthscourse has been organized in the Extension Department sothat individuals who are unable to attend classes duringthe regular school hours can learn the rudiments of secre­tarial training. Tuition for the entire course is eighty-sixdollars. Two such four-month periods have been completed

with great success, and the third started June 29th.In addition to typing and shorthand proficiency, the stu­

dents get training in secretarial practices. Such things asoffice procedures, filing systems, use of legal forms in alaw office, payroll' and banking procedures, and theoperation of business machines are thoroughly studied. Notonly do they learn to operate all makes of typewriters,including an electromatic machine, but they also learn howto run mimeograph and ditto machines, and calculators.At the end of their course their shorthand speed is 100words per minute for a five minute take, and fifty wordsper minute for typing.

Many alumnae have been in the ranks of the businesscourse graduates. Among them are Mary Fortin, '41; BettyJones, '41; Beny Mason, '41; Helen Shakeshaft, '41; Vir­ginia Ward, '41; Rita Weingartner, '41; Emily Little, '39;

15

Mildred Scribner, '40; and Katherine Love, '30. All ob­tained positions immediately.

Many undergraduates who are taking liberal arts courseshave taken on business procedures as a sixth course thisyear. They spend three afternoons a week for two hoursworking up skill in dictation and transcribing shorthandon the typewriter, or in increasing their speed in typing.Many of these undergraduates who are not attending inter­session or summer session have been employed by industrialorganizations because of their developed typing techniques.

In addition to the Extension Course and the sixth subj ectelective for undergraduates students in liberal arts, theBusiness Education course is available to students who wishto teach commercial courses in the secondary schools. Stu­dents completing this course receive a B. S. degree with amajor in Education.

In the first year that Business Education was offeredthirteen students elected it as their major. Their courseof study included 24 semester hours of education and psy­chology, 12 semester hours of literature, 12 semester hoursof social science, 6 semester hours of science, 30 - 36semester hours of technical subjects, and free elective work

to make the total program of 126 semester hours with 126

quality points.

Education and psychology are so planned that the stu­dents get not only a theoretical background, but also prac­tice teaching of business subjects in the public schools ofRochester. The technical subjects include typing, shorthand,and office practice. In addition, business law,' money andbanking, advanced economic problems, business organiza­tion and regulation, corporation finance, accounting, andcost accounting are studied, so that the student tempers herpractical business training with economic theory.

Commercial courses in secondary schools attract thelargest number of students in an elective sense. The place­ment of adequately prepared teachers consequently becomesan easy matter.

One year of study in business training courses has beencompleted at the University with marked success. With sucha cordial reception from the undergraduates and alumnaealike, as well as from members of the community, thereis every reason to believe that this department will becomeone of the most popular and valuable in the University.

Eating Habits Improve in Wartime;Expert Sees Gains on "Food Front"

American food habits are changing for the better underthe stress of war, and food processers, food purchasers, andfood eaters are on the way to achieving a major victory onthe nutrition front, according to Dr. Estelle E. Hawley,Ph. D. '31, fellow in pediatrics at the School of Medicineand Dentistry, and specialist in nutrition research.

Curiously enough, we are going forward in this food cam­paign by going backward, returning, in many respects, tothe eating customs of our grandfathers, Dr. Hawley says,and are learning from scientists today what Chinese cooliesand Italian immigrants could have told us decades ago. Onlyrecently have we realized that an era of starvation cameupon us when the millers, in response to the housewife'sdemand for whiter flour, screened out the vital minerals andvitamins from the wheat, and sold the bleak and impov­erished residue for America's daily bread. Science has foundin the soy bean, staple food of the Manchurian peasant,an almost magical food, that can, if necessary, replacemeat, bread, and even milk in the daily diet; and there issound scientific basis for the Italian laborer's craving forgreens and salads.

"There is not going to be any drastic overthrow of thenation's eating habits as a result of the war," Dr. Hawleytold THE REVIEW interviewer. "There is no shortage ofessential foods in view now. Imported grocery articles-tea,

16

coffee, and cocoa-will become scarce, and our quota ofsugar is already low. But that is a dietary advantage; wehave been eating too much sugar for our own good, par­ticularly since, with a white-bread diet, we weren't gettingenough of the B vitamins that permit the normal utilizationof sugar in the body.

"We will benefit as we obtain an increasing proportionof our sweets in the form of fruit sugars, for they containvitamins and mineral elements that refined cane sugar lacks.

"Federal food authorities and scientists are continuing toemphasize the need for the basic foods that are essential tohealth-with milk, leafy vegetables, fruits, whole graincereals, and the animal proteins, such as meat and eggs,forming a part of everyone's daily diet. With these foods,one need never fear a vitamin deficiency. Nutritionists arestressing milk for adults as well as for children; it is animportant source of riboflavin, one of the vitamins of theB group. They are urging care in the preparation of vege­tables, lest indispensable qualities be lost in cooking. Manyof the vitamins are soluble in water, and are easily boiledout and wasted.

"Food is playing an increasingly important part in pro­duction. Arms manufacturers have found that they can servegood food in their factory lunchrooms at a loss, and stillmake a profit, because of the increased efficiency of their

ROCHESTER ALUMNI-ALUMNAE REVIEW

workers. Their findings, of course, are an extension of ourown laboratory experiments at the University. We've takengroups of laboratory workers, normal, friendly, hard-work­ing people, and f.ed them on a diet deficient in the Bvitamins. In a few days they become high-strung, irritable,quarrelsome, unable to resist fatigue.

"But food is more than a weapon for the home front.Hitler has used it as a weapon of subjugation. He has seento it that the people of conquered countries were systemat­ically deprived of Vitamin B foods. Thus he robbed themof their will to resist, kept them lethargic and docile.At the same time he was careful to provide his own peoplewith the vitamins that produce stamina and high morale,making them ready to do their best in the factory and onthe firing line.

"England has awakened to the value of vitamins, andsince April 1st has forbidden the making of white bread.We haven't reached that stage yet here; but enriched breadsand processed-wheat breads are now available, and if thehousewife doesn't get them it's her own fault. She's cheatingher family if she doesn't get them. Bleached-flour bread issimply protein; whole-wheat or enriched breads containprotein plus vitamins plus minerals, at about the same price.Bread is now available made from wheat grains from whichthe coarse outer coating only has been removed, and it's agreater bargain than vitamin pills.

"The war has made Rochester nutrition-conscious. A yearago there was little interest in nutrition. Since the warbegan over 1,000 women have taken the Red Cross nutritioncourses. Hundreds of others have registered for extensioncourses in nutrition given by the department of vital eco­nomics of the University. Authoritative speakers who cantell lay groups about nutrition have been swamped withcalls to give addresses before clubs and groups.

"The eating habits of the younger generation are beingchanged too. White bread has disappeared from schoollunchrooms. Children-normally the most conservative eat­ers of the family-are eating whole-wheat bread, and theylike it.

"We cannot eat our way to victory, but food can helppowerfully in the victory effort. We will work better, fightbetter, and feel better if we eat better; we will advance inhealth as we put into practice what we know about foodand about its preparation."

Professor Perkins told the alumni that America, now, isfar ahead of the America of the World War in unity, inorganization, and in weapons. Germany lacks oil, he said,and Japan lacks iron. Against these advantages he cited thediminished power of Great Britain as compared with itsposition in 1918; the vast distances to which men and sup­plies must be transported; and the spirit of fanaticismwhich drives the peoples of the Axis nations.

Don GilbertJ ~2IJ Becomes DeanOf New Graduate Studies School

The University now has a "School of Graduate Studies"on an equal footing with the three divisions of arts andscience, music, and medicine, and with Donald W. Gilbert,'21, as dean.

While the creation of this new school, approved by theBoard of Trustees in May, is an important step in itself, itis official recognition of a condition that has been evidentfor some years, and which was emphasized last year whenRochester was admitted to membership in the Associationof American Universities. Only Columbia and Cornell,among New York State institutions, have been similarlyhonored. The Association, which has only about thirtymembers, is limited to universities "outstanding in gradu­ate teaching and research," and Rochester has fairly won itsplace in that classification in the past two decades.

In 1926 the University boasted 38 graduate students. Now435 are enrolled. Until 1924, only Masters' degrees wereawarded; in that year doctorates in biochemistry were author­ized, and within the next few years other departments weresimilarly privileged to offer studies for prospective Ph.D.'s.Authorization in each case meant that library and labora­tory facilities and teaching staff had been brought to thepoint where candidate for the doctor's degree had the neces­sary facilities for advanced study.

As dean of the School of Graduate Studies, Don Gilbertwill hold equal rank with Dean George H. Whipple, ofthe School of Medicine and Dentistry; Direaor HowardHanson, of the Eastman School of Music, and Dean Lee A.DuBridge of the College of Arts and Science. He is pro­fessor of economics, and ranks high as an expert on taxationand business cycles.

MeanderingsJack Bush, '22, is one of the leading

promoters of the "Hands for Victory"Campaign, which, in co-operation withthe United States Employment Service,is aiming at the enlistment of some10,000 volunteers to help MonroeCounty farmers harvest their crops ofberries, cherries, beans, tomatoes, cab­bage, potatoes, and apples.

The plan is to enroll squads of citydwellers and suburbanites, who would,at the proper time, go where they areneeded to gather perishable fruits andvegetables. A move is already under­way in the city schools to dismissschool children to help in the seasonalharvest of produce; the Hands for Vic­to~y drive is a supplementary project.The amateur harvesters would be paidthe prevailing scale of wages; probablythey could, if they wished, take partof their pay in tomatoes or potatoes,for their own cellars.

Each Hands - for - Victory squadwould consist of five or more persons,including a squad leader who wouldbe telephoned by the EmploymentService and notified that his (or her)squad would be needed at a specifiedtime to help a specific farmer harvesthis crops. Squads are already beingorganized in Pittsford, Brighton, andRochester.

Jack Bush says that these squads canmake a vastly significant contributionto America's war effort. Tens ofthousands of bushels of valuable foodwill rot in fields and orchards thissummer and fall unless help can beenlisted to gather it, and this will notonly result in grave loss to farmers butmay be reflected in higher food pricesand in actual scarcity.

story about Rochester's most distin­guished honorary alumnus:

When Winston Churchill was aguest at the White House in December,he and President Roosevelt started fora conference room together, the Presi­dent riding in a wheeled chair. Mr.Churchill offered to guide the wheeledchair, and dismissed the attendant. Asthey moved along the corridor of theWhite House President Rooseveltsensed that his guest was shaking withsuppressed chuckles, and asked the rea­son. Responded Mr. Churchill:

"I was just thinking how some ofyour American news photographerswould enjoy being here-and gettinga picture of the President of the UnitedStates being pushed around by thePrime Minister of England!"

President Alan Valentine, PresidentHarold Cowley of Hamilton, andPresident E. E. Day of Cornell sharedthe rostrum at a meeting of a Roch­ester civic club earlier in the year, andwhen the trio arrived at the hall Mr.Valentine found that he had left hispurse in another suit. The three speak­ers were to be fed at the club's expense,but there was no change in the presi­dential pockets to redeem the presi­dential car from its downtown parkinglot. So Mr. Valentine borrowed a halfdollar from the club secretary, anal~mnus of the University, and afterthe meeting transported himself andthe other two college heads to EastmanHouse.

The paths of president and alumnusdid not cross for many weeks, and theloan was not repaid. Recently Mr.Valentine was notified that the debthad been cancelled. The alumnuswrote:

"After all, four bits is a bargainprice-for the privilege of havingthree college pr.esidents taken for aride!"

President Valentine, however, insiststhat the debt still stands, and that he'llpayoff in due time; he doesn't mindgiving a speech absolutely free, buthe wants its understood that if a feeis going to be paid, it will have to bemore than 50 cents.

Lloyd (Deac) Coleman, ' 18, is nowin Sidney, Australia-he arrived therebefore the A.E.F. did, as representa­tive of the A. R. Thompson Company.One of his recent visitors was Lieu­tenant Commander Walter Metcalf,'21, who flew to Australia a few weeksago.

Big Moose Kramer, co-captain of the1942 Varsity football team, has othergifts in addition to his grid prowess.Recently he was selected as one of athree-man team to compete, in a quizcontest, with three men from the Uni­versity of Buffalo. The two teams bat­tled on even terms until a series ofquestions on Shakespeare was pre­sented. Moose's Buffalo opponentfloundered badly; Captain Kramer an­swered the questions with deftness andease.

After the program was over, andMoose and his two fellow studentshad pocketed their silver dollars, itdeveloped that through a misunder­standing the University of Buffalo teamwas made up of faculty men; and theprofessors had been worsted by a trioof Rochester undergraduates.

The Wiards - Walter, '22, andMarian Booth Wiard, '24-have a newdaughter, which inspired the follow­ing announcement from the proudparents: "FLASH!

ROCHESTER ALUMNI-ALUMNAE REVIEW

University employes having officesin Morey Hall were not a little alarmedrecently when the swollen jaws of aprominent faculty member were finallydiagnosed as mumps. . . HonoraryAlumnus James W. Wadsworth, '42,received an almost unprecedented hon­or this summer when he was endorsedby the Monroe County DemocraticCommittee. He will be unopposedwhen he stands for re-election in theThirty-Ninth Congressional District.... Not so fortunate is CongressmanJoseph O'Brien in the Thirty-EighthDistrict, whose opponent will be Wal­den Moore, professor of government.Probably the major theme of ProfessorMoore's campaign will be Congress­man O'Brien's strongly isolationiststand prior to Pearl Harbor... Thehustings for the post of MonroeCounty Children's Court Judge will seetwo alumni pitted against each other,the veteran Henry D. Shedd, '95, andPaul S. Kreag, '19.

Leo D. Welch, '19, is in BuenosAires again, and is president of "Cor­poracion para la Promocion del Inter­cambio, S. A."

Unintentionally, THE REVIEW putMorris Hamburg, '33, in the dog-houseby announcing his engagement in theFebruary-March issue. He's been mar­ried for six years, and his wife wasmore than a little surprised to read thenews of his betrothal. She was angryabout it too. We send our apologies to

both. It was another Morris Hamburgwho became engaged, and the identicalnames confused the editors.

The Eastman School of Music hasa good friend in the person of BarbaraRex, author, whose short story, "Par­ents are Practically Helpless," appearedin the June 6th issue of THE SATURDAYEVENING POST.

The story deals with a piano-play­ing infantry sergeant, and is generouslysprinkled with plugs for the musicschool. Here they are:

"Before the war I studied music atEastman."

APRIL-MAY 1942

"Cathy, you thought of taking violinat Eastman, didn't you?"

•'I sure love music. Eastman's a greatschool, all right."

"Too bad you didn't go to Eastman.We might have been there together."

Note to Armin Bender of the Uni­versity News Bureau: Why not circu­larize all POST authors, suggestingthat the School of Medicine andDentistry, the College for Men, theCollege for Women, the ExtensionDivision, and the School of GraduateStudies all offer opportunities as set­tings for short stories, with or withoutromantic backgrounds?

Proof that the Alumnae Associationis an approved training school forpresidents was evidenced at a recentluncheon of the League of WomenVoters. At one end of the speakers'table sat Helen Marsh Rowe, '12, re­tiring president of the League, and atthe other end of the table sat RuthTuthill Hoffmeister, '25, newly electedpresident.

Helen Marsh Rowe has held thePresident's Chair for many organiza­tions in the community. When herchildren began school she started toparticipate in the Parent-Teachers As­sociation. In that organization sheworked as program chairman, presi­dent of a local group, president of theCentral Council, fifth vice-president ofthe state organization, and representa­tive to many conferences and con­ventions.

In 1926-27 she was president of theAlumnae Association. In those daysmoney was raised for the organizationat a large theater party. The presenttype of constitution of the Associationwas originated at that time, and thoughthere was no paid executive secretary,the volunteer workers did a tremen­dous amount of work for the Associa­tion.

From the Alumnae presidency,Helen went to the American Associa­tion of University Women as financechairman, second vice-president andpresident of the organization.

The League of Women Votersdaimed her next as its president, andshe has served in that office for thepast two years. Prior to her presidencyshe served as chairman of the ChildWelfare and Government Educationgroups. In the state organization shehas served on the budget committee,and will next year become a memberof the State Nominating Committee.

In addition to leading these women'sorganizations so capably, Helen hassupervised the growing up of her threechildren. A daughter Helen, who willbe a sophomore at the College forWomen next year, has been on theDean's List throughout her freshmanyear. One son is a student at MadisonHigh School, and the other son is do­ing defense work at a boat companyin New London, Connecticut.

With such remarkable success withPresident Rowe, it is no wonder thatthe Nominating Committee of theLeague came back to the AlumnaeAssociation for the next president.Ruth Tuthill Hoffmeister, '25 takes tothe position a background of experi­ence as social chairman and presidentof the Women's Club of the Universityas well as program chairman and pres­ident of the Alumnae Association.

A tale related at the CommencementDinner about our volunteer war stampworkers at McCurdy's told of real ex­citement for Gladys Von Deben Ham­mond, '23 and Helen Gosnell Sayres,'24. As Gladys left the booth finishingher morning shift she remarked toHelen that there had been a tremen­dous amount of business that morning,with people on all sides of the boothand some customers even wavingtwenty dollar bills. Little did eitherof them realize that swindlers weremaking the rounds of all of the warstamp booths that day, and includedin their circuit was the Alumnae boothat McCurdy's.

During a busy part of the afternoon,when Helen was in the booth, a manapproached with a twenty dollar billand asked for $2.50 in stamps. She

19

asked him to take it elsewhere torchange. He returned again to buy thestamps and as he did a man from be­hind dumped an amazing amount ofchange into the booth and demandedstamps. With business so rushingHelen asked him to take the changeback and count it himself. Every rusethe men tried to confuse Helen failed,for there was too much business forher to stop to count large amounts ofchange, and she was subconsciouslysuspicious of twenty dollar bills forsuch small amounts of stamps.

Upon returning home that eveningshe heard from Elizabeth Wolters Ken­nedy, '26, that swindlers had made atidy little haul in all of the downtownbooths that day. "How much did welose?"

"Why, we balanced when I closedthe booth, but I bet that the men whoreturned repeatedly with such largebills and change were trying to swindleus." And they were. They answeredthe police description and used justthose tactics of confusion which weresuccessful in every booth but the onemanaged by our alumnae!

A curious species of journalisticpolicy was responsible for the "play­ing down" of the Glee Club's winningof a national competition that wassponsored by Fred Waring, as reportedelsewhere in this issue.

The Rochester newspapers hold thatthe contest was a commercial project,and that a big story on the Rochesterviaory would, in effect, have givenWaring's sponsors advertising space­space that the sponsor, in this caseChesterfield cigarettes, ought to havepurchase4 through the advertisingdepartment.

The field of news vs. advertising isa cloudy and confused area, and thereis little profit in exploring it or ana­lyzing it. Nevertheless, some NewYork papers gave the contest generousspace. Dailies in some college townsused streamer headlines to tell of theirhome-town Glee Clubs' achievementin reaching the finals.

20

There were marvelous opportunitiesfor headlines, too. The Rochester boysoutsang Amherst, Dartmouth, Califor­nia, Illinois, Texas, Duke, GeorgiaTech, Illinois, Notre Dame, Pennsyl­vania, Brown, Penn State, Ohio State.Even Dud DeGroot, no mean alche­mist himself, is looking for BuckWhittemore's formula of victory.

It's all over now, and the news­papers probably wish the contest hadnever been held. Alumni, students,and parents of students have plaguedcity editors with angry complaints.THE REVIEW, however, reserves itspity for those friends of Rochestergraduates and others, who haven'theard America's finest Glee Club thisyear.

Harold Wakefield, '39, is going toremember, for a long time, his early­morning dip in the Pacific Ocean onDecember 7th. He was at Hawaii, asergeant in the Coast Artillery, and hisuniform included only a pair of swim­ming trunks and sea-water when theJap planes came over, headed for PearlHarbor.

The Father's Day newspaper adver­tising of Sibley, Lindsay & Curr Com­pany featured a photograph of ahandsome "father" reclining in a ham­mock, a palm-leaf fan in one hand anda beverage glass in the other. It was BatWeston, '21, in person, who, ap­parently, has taken on modeling assign­ments in addition to his insuranceduties.

The department of geology is mak­ing significant contributions to Amer­ica's war program. Early in June Pro­fessor J. Edward Hoffmeister, authorityon the islands of the South Pacific, wascalled to Washington to serve untilSeptember 1st as research consultant tothe Army War College. A few weekslater Professor Quentin D. Singewaldwas given a year's leave of absence todo special war work on mineral re­sources of Central and South America.

He will serve under the U. S.Geological Survey. He is a mining and

mineral specialist, and has spent manyvacations doing special research jobsfor the Geological Survey. In 1939 hemade a six-months' study of the miningdistricts of Europe, completing his sur­vey a few weeks before the outbreakof the war.

Ed Hoffmeister has been serving asdean of the College for Men this year,in the absence of Dean W. EdwinVandeWalle, '21, now recovering froma long and serious illness. Dean Vande­Walle will resume his duties at theRiver Campus in September.

Also expected back at his post thisfall is Joseph W. Gavett, professor ofmechanical engineering. He has beenill for several months, and underwenta series of complex and dangerousoperations. His stamina amazed thedoctors and delighted his friends.

Alumni and alumnae joined in hon­oring the Hale family at Commence­ment time. As noted elsewhere, Mrs.William B. Hale was made an honorarymember of the Alumnae Association,and Ezra Hale, '16, was elected presi­dent of the Associated Alumni.

At the annual reunion of DeltaKappa Epsilon, the Dekes unveiled aportrait of the late William B. Hale,'85, long a trustee of the University.The portrait was painted by JohnMenihan.

Back in November, 1924, when theUniversity of Rochester was conductinga successful campaign for $10,000,000.Charles E. Bradford, secretary of tIleTodd Company, was a team captain.THE DEMOCRAT & CHRONICLE re­ported that during the drive CaptainBradford "stole a march on the otherteams by adding an additional workerto his team in the person of a new babygirl that had arrived in the Bradfordhome last night. Captain Bradford an­nounced amid cheers that he had en­tered the new arrival for the Class of,45 in the greater College for Womenof the University of Rochester."

Early in June Captain Bradford com­pleted payment on his "pledge" by

enrolling his daughter Joanne in thefreshman class at the University, thisenrollment completing what is prob­ably the final report on the GreaterUniversity Campaign of 1924.

Thomas R. Forbes, '33, has beenawarded one of the coveted Guggen­heim Fellowships, and will use it for ayear's research in biology at Yale Medi­cal School after the war ends. A mem­ber of the faculty of the Johns Hop­kins University Medical School, Dr.Forbes is working with the NationalResearch Council in Washington.

He is the grandson of Dr. CharlesForbes, '64, and son of James BruffForbes, '99. He has two brothers whoare alumni, James Bruff Forbes, Jr.,'34, and John Van Gelder Forbes, '39.His wife is the former Helen Allen,who is an alumna of the EastmanSchool of Music. They have two sons,Thomas Rogers, Jr., and William M.,and it's more than likely that they willcome in due time to the University ofRochester, with which the Forbes fam­ily has been associated for over eightyyears.

The University had a two-day con­ference on China-"The Far EasternFront"-in April, and brought toRochester such notables as WendellWillkie, LIFE - TIME - FORTUNE Edi­tor Henry R. Luce, and Chinese Am­bassador Hu Shih. President AlanValentine had arranged an NBC broad­cast, from Chungking, of greetings fromGeneralissimo Chiang Kai-shek andMadame Chiang Kai-shek, but thecritical phases of the campaign on theBurma frontier blitzed these plans.Clare Booth and Eve Curie, '41(Hon. ), w.ere likewise booked to takepart in the conference, but their short­notice departure for the Far East can­celed their appearances.

The degree Doctor of Laws wasconferred upon Dr. Hu at the finalmeeting of the conference, at whichWendell Willkie was one of thespeakers.

Incidentally, at the CommencementDinner, Ernie Paviour introducedPresident Valentine-who campaigned

APRIL-MAY 1942

for the Republican candidate forpresident in 1940-as "the man whomade Wendell Willkie what he istoday."

Carl Lauterbach, '25, vocationalcounselor at the College for Men since1936, has joined the Eastman KodakCompany as "ivory hunter." He willvisit colleges to interview prospectiveKodak employes.

The alumni office is eager to havea complete list of names and addressesof those alumni now in the armedservices of the United States. This listis valuable not only for alumni recordsbut is also of great interest to friendsand classmates.

Due to the accelerated rate at whichmen are being called to the colors andthe frequent changes of address, thisbecomes a stupendous task. We are al­most wholly dependent upon the co­operation of the men in the service,their families and friends to keep usinformed.

Below is information now in ourfiles. We make no pretense that thislist is either complete or entirely up­to-date. It is printed partly in the hopethat you may furnish us with namesof other alumni who should be in­cluded and more recent addresses ofsome listed below. Please help us 10
