Furnas Testimonial Dinner in honor of the retiring President of State University of New York at Buffalo April 19, 1966 The Golden Ballroom, Hotel Statler-Hilton, Buffalo, New York and 32 participating areas �Clifford C. Furnas, President of State University of New York at Buffalo since 1954, will retire August 31, 1966. The occasion will mark yet another milestone in an outstanding career which spans scholastic achievement, research, public service and letters as well as edu cational administration. President Furnas was born October 24, 1900, at Sheridan, Indiana. He received the Bachelor of Science degree with honors at Purdue University where he was winner of the Big 10 Con ference Medal for the best scholastic and athletic record in 1922. While an undergraduate, he was also a member of the U.S. track team at the Antwerp Olympics in 1920. Earning his Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Michigan in 1926, he began his career as a metallurgical researcher. During the 1930’s, he was a member of the chemical engineering faculty at Yale University. One of President Furnas’ longest and most important associations, that with the American defense establishment, started shortly after the outbreak of World War II when he accepted an assignment as coordinator of a large federal research and development project. From 1955-57, he again served in Washington as Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Development. Today, he continues as a member of technical and advisory panels for both the Army and Navy and for the U.S. House of Representatives. DR. Furnas came to Buffalo in 1943 as Director of the Curtiss-Wright Aeronautical Research Laboratory, remaining as Vice President and Director when that facility became Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory in 1946. In 1954, he was named the ninth Chancellor of the University of Buffalo. Assigning himself the task of moving the University forward “forthwith,” he led the institution to unprecedented expansion and enrichment in the late 1950’s; he was the guiding force in the merger with State University of New York; and, as a result, he has brought the University to the thresh old of an even more monumental growth and development. DR. Furnas has also assigned important priority to the University’s role in fostering the cul tural and economic life of the Niagara Frontier and the State. Reflecting this interest, he himself serves on both local and State government economic and scientific advisory panels. He is also a member of several corporate boards of directors and of a number of honorary and professional societies. The author of many technical articles on chemical engineering as well as aviation research, President Furnas has also written four general interest books, including The Next Hundred Years, a Book-of-the-Month Club selection in 1936, and Man, Bread And Destiny, written with his wife, Sparkle M. Furnas. He and Mrs. Furnas have one daughter and four grand children and share an enthusiasm for mountain-climbing. Although DR. Furnas will be retiring from the University Presidency in August, it may be safely assumed that he and Mrs. Furnas will continue at the forefront of civic and educa tional life on the Niagara Frontier. ���This is a time for tribute — for accolades. For saying “well done,” and “good show.” All of that we will say tonight. We will toast Clifford Furnas for a distinguished career. We will look at the record and draw generously from it to present a portrait of a man who has come a long way from Sheridan, Indiana. — A man who, as Assistant Secretary for Defense in the first Eisenhower administra tion, was looking forward to moon voyages as early as 1955. — A man who took a surplus aeronautical laboratory and developed it into one of the major research and development facilities in its field, bringing much credit to Cornell University and much recognition and associated economic benefits to the Niagara Frontier. We will have even more to say about a man who came to the University of Buffalo when the University was at a crossroads, changing from a small and rather quiet place to a large and bustling center of learning — A man who faced the challenge squarely in his inaugural address, “The watchword (for universities) must be: Grow in stature and in quality. We must do for many what once was done for a few. We must learn to educate millions as well as we once educated hundreds. The University of Buffalo must do its share. Expand and grow without loss of quality. That is the task — now let’s get on with it forthwith.” We will go on to laud an inveterate mover who saw to it that the University did exactly that. We will cite the figures and document the quality. If square footage is your cup of tea, we will tell you that this is a man who presided over a doubling in educational work space, from less than 1,000,000 square feet to more than 2,500,000. If student numbers capture your fancy, we can note a skyrocketing from 10,000 to 20,000; we can also plot a rising curve of admissions standards. If science and research are your yardsticks, try the Western New York Nuclear Research Center, Inc. and a sponsored research program that has grown from practically nothing to more than $8 million per year. For those who count faculty and measure their output, the full time numbers have grown from approximately 350 to more than 1,000; the total, from 1,200 to 2,600; books, monographs, and distinction have spiraled. And if you gauge the scope of a university by its graduate and professional students, you must stretch your measuring rod from 951 to approximately 2,000. Still, you will not have fully determined the extent of this man’s efforts. We will talk also of merger and of future planning — two intertwined facets of Uni versity achievement during these Furnas years. We will indicate that this is a man �who, while remaining a champion of private initiative, saw that for Buffalo to attempt to develop fully as a private institution would be a task beyond its resources and those of its community. To serve the community best, he determined, an alternate path would have to be found. He found that path through merger with State University, and also found the courage to pursue the possibility despite initial opposition from many sources. Because of this man’s foresight, the University stands today at the brink of a $200 million expansion program that will soon enable it to grow even further, into one of the major public centers of learning in the East, into a large and quality institution on a par with America’s finest. This is a potential which the Niagara Frontier has not yet fully grasped. It is one that will affect it dramatically in the years which lie ahead. We will speak of this potential as Clifford Furnas’ legacy to all our futures and our children’s futures. We will speak also of a private man — the Olympic runner, the metallurgical researcher, the Yale professor, the author, the civic leader, the father and grandfather, the football fan, the mountain-climber, the “boss” — A man who moves at a fast clip from matters of national defense, to advice to the legislature of New York State, to reviewing budgets and ten year plans, to thumbing furiously through the New York Times looking for the UB football write-up on Sunday morning. There will be mention of an abundant wit, a sense of humor that never fails, of handwritten notes complete with original doodles to put across a point, of warmth and of briskness, each in its rightful place. We will remember Purdue, Michigan, New Haven, Washington, Cornell Lab, Charlie Wilson, the Heald Report, the development campaigns, the dedications, the corner stone layings, alumni tunks, and looking through his office window on Saturday mornings in Winter to find the President there, “catching up.” We will say that we will miss him, that he will always be part of the University, that we hope he will be with us here on the Niagara Frontier for many years to come. Nor will Sparkle go unnoticed and the part she has played in all the proud public moments and the private ones as well. We will offer her our salutes — as helpmate, partner, companion, first lady of the University, friend, the boss’s wife. Yet when all these things have been said and done, we will only be starting to say what we really mean. There was a banner once at a football game that read, “We Like Cliff.” Amplify that a thousand times in a thousand ways and you might just begin to approach what we are leaving unsaid. �Program toastmaster MR.

Butzer August Martin, Organist Organ courtesy of Denton, Cottier and Daniels About The C. C. Furnas Scholarship Gift President Furnas’ many years of experience as a leader in higher education have confirmed his basic belief that there is a great need for the student who has developed both his mental and physical abilities. To insure the opportunity for well-rounded students to pursue graduate studies in coming generations, the President established the Clifford C. Furnas Scholarship Fund with the University of Buffalo Foundation, Inc. The Scholarship will become effective after his retirement. Tonight, in honor of DR. Furnas and in tribute to his service to the University, an additional endowment for the Furnas Scholarships will be announced and a list of patrons will be presented to President Furnas by MR. Whitworth Ferguson, chairman of the C. C. Furnas Scholarship Fund Committee. The gift includes contributions from corporations, alumni, friends and members of the University family. The list of patrons will be printed in the Spring Issue of the Buffalo Alumnus. �Supreme of Grapefruit Florida Menu* French Onion Soup au Crouton Relishes Roast Prime Ribs of Beef Small Oven Brown potatoes Parsley Butter Mixed Green Vegetables Caesar Salad Baked Alaska, Strawberry Sauce Coffee *For the Buffalo Dinner, Hotel Statler-Hilton �Participating Areas, Clifford Albany-Troy Binghamton Boston Chicago Cleveland Dallas Denver Detroit Elmira-Corning Erie Finger Lakes Houston Jacksonville Jamestown Lockport Long Island Los Angeles Albert F.

Insistence upon extraordinary achieve ment in all phases of his development won for him while he was a student at Purdue University the Big Ten Conference Medal for the best combined scholastic and athletic record. In the three main fields of his accomplishment; process metallurgy, chemical engineering, and aeronautical engineering, there is reflected his conviction that the scientist who develops a theory shouldalso undertake its application. In 1941 and 1942, with the National Defense Research Committee, he combined various and differing elements into a single effective program. This co-ordination was translated into the Cornell Aeronautical laboratory, of which he became Executive Vice-President and director. Waving served in Washington for a period of two pears as Assist ant Secretary of Defense for Research and Development, he returned this year to Iris duties as educator. Honored by the University at her Centennial in 1937 he again is invited to receive her acclaim. �Universitatis Reipublicae Mischiganensium Procuratores et Professores Academici Omnibus qui has littras perlegerint Salutem Sciatis Clifford Cook Furnas gradu Artis Mechanicae honoris causa nos ornavisse eique mania Jura, Privilegia, Imummitates, Dignitates, honores, Insignia ad hume Gradum perrinentia dedisse.

Albright Art School, The University of Buffalo �The Inauguration of Clifford Cook Furnas as Chancellor of The University Of Buffalo DR. Clifford Cook Furnas Chancellor, The University of Buffalo MR. Roy E. Larsen The Addresses of President, Time, Inc. Chairman, National Citizens Commission for the Public Schools DR. Arthur S. Adams President, American (Council on Education The Honorable Harold E. Talbott Secretary of the Air Force �The Address of Chancellor Clifford Cook Furnas What Is The Task? In the United States there are al most 1800 institutions of higher learn ing, each of which has a chief execu tive officer under the title of chan cellor or president. The record shows that the average period of service of such executive heads at any one in stitution is only four and one-half years. Simple division indicates that there must be about 400 installations of presidents or chancellors in the realms of higher education in America, every year. Nearly all of these events are embellished with an inaugural ad dress by the incumbent. On the aver age, then, there is more than one such address per day. With all that flow of words, certainly almost everything of importance on the subject of the progress and problems of higher edu cation must have been said at least once. It would appear that there would be but little justification for attempting to add anything to the record. But now that I am here and have the opportunity I, like the hun dreds of others, can hardly resist the temptation to say a few words about some items that are deemed to be significant for this particular time and place. In my first four delightful and busy months as Chancellor of the Univer sity of Buffalo, profound considera tions of the basic problems do not seem to have constituted the back bone of the agenda items crying for a place on my calendar. Rather the natural flow has been directed toward such items as a less-than-completely successful football season, shortage of parking space, crowded classrooms, and the perennial “few words of wel come” to visiting groups. Through it all, of course, one must follow an ade quately devious path to avoid tread ing on those two precious species of fauna — the sleeping dog and the sacred cow. But these activities are recognized as being merely the initiation cere monies. I have found my colleagues eager and willing to help me delve into the analysis and the attempted solutions of the more basic problems. We have discussed the future �pro gram, of the University at consider able length and have had a reasonable meeting of the minds on the character of the problems ahead. The title of this address is “What Is The Task?”. I am promising no solutions—only an analysis of the problems which lie before us. What Are We Trying To Do? Unless one is flying completely blind and desperately, he has some heading in mind and some goal to be reached. So the first point of an analysis is to state our goal, or, expressed another way, in the form of a question—what are we trying to do ? This would seem to be a simple question which would lead to a straightforward and simple answer—but such is not the case. In academic circles themselves, in busi ness and industry, in the world at large, you will find almost as many variants on the objectives of higher education as there are people. At least this appears to be the situation when you start getting down to details. Insofar as any generalities are safe, however, there are some basic prin ciples which few will dispute—some what as follows: A modern university should carry on three activities: first, provide good instruction for the coming generation; second, contribute to human knowl edge through research; and third, perform certain appropriate public services. From the individual stu dent's point of view, the university should provide the means and the en vironment for learning to live as well as learning to make a living. It is not my intention to air my own opinions on the techniques and methods best suited to accomplish all these wonder ful things. Rather I wish to dwell on some very important environmental aspects which must be understood be fore we can properly delineate our task. The New Environment There are certain factors of the na tional and international environment which have a major bearing on the problem. Half a century ago, the automobile was a luxury more or less enjoyed by only a few. By mid-cen tury it has become a true essential for the average American, in the most practical sense. During this same half-century higher education has gone through very much the same cycle, until it is now truly essential for a substantial segment of the Am erican population. The two phenom ena are very closely related. Both are the result and the logical conclusion of the Industrial Revolution, which is just now beginning to come of age. This eventual trend of events with its accompanying more or less painful social changes, was inevitable as soon as James Watt took out the first pat ent on an improved steam engine, in the year 1769. Although much of very great significance had happened in science and invention before Watt, it was the practical steam engine which really opened up a route to what we now think of as a scientific and indus trial society. Since Watt, the parade of scientists and inventors has become ever larger. You may recognize the names and the works of a few—such as Lavoisier, Whitney, Faraday, Men delyeev, Pasteur, Darwin, Mendel, Maxwell, Edison, Becquerel, Curie, Planck, Einstein, the Wright brothers, Heisenberg, Fleming, Hahn, Strass mann, Fermi. The profound changes which these men and women of the western world have wrought on the structure of civilization and the mechanics of liv ing, have also led to changes in edu cational needs, of truly major import. Not long ago, only the three profes sions of theology, law and medicine required college degrees. Now all the professions and a great many seg ments of industry, business and agri culture require, ask for, and get a large proportion of the university graduates. As compared to the good old days life has become very com plicated, indeed. Dramatic as they may be, however, these industrial and educational rev olutions are only pieces of the mosaic of a still greater theme of our present civilization, which is distinctly differ ent from any that has gone before. Perhaps the English historian Toynbee has best expressed the nature of the trend. Toynbee would have it that three hundred years from now the twentieth century will not be remem bered primarily for world wars or the automobile, the airplane, antibiotics, or even nuclear energy, but rather for “having been the first age since the dawn of civilization, some five or six thousand years back, in which people dared to think it practicable to make the benefits of civilization available to the whole human race." Evidence of this pattern of thinking and action is seen in the slogans about the century of the common man and the welfare state, and in the trend toward legis lation for social betterment, not only in the United States but throughout most of the world. The common man, undeniably and apparently irresistibly , is bent on improving his lot. The something new that has been added to make this century of the common man possible is scientific knowledge coupled with mass production — broadly interpreted. Is It Progress? Almost everyone gives lip service to the desirability of this trend of mak ing the benefits of civilization avail able to all, but there are many who do not like the immediate results. It has become fashionable to sneer at our “progress”, because the word is usually used to denote only material progress, and often of a kind that makes warfare more and more ter rible. The critics say we adore good plumbing and neglect fine thinking. Faithful servants are no longer ob tainable—we have to rely on unreli able household gadgets to handle the onerous chores of living. You're not even able to hire a baby sitter until you install a television set for her amusement. Every factory worker must have an automobile to ride around in on Sunday. Obviously he should stay at home as his grand father did. We devised the airplanes and atomic bombs which made World War 2 fantastically destructive and cruel, and have brought up the pros pects of a possible World War 3 which would be catastrophic beyond belief. Are we really making prog ress? At this juncture one might argue endlessly and fruitlessly on the fine points of human values, so I will ex press my own view, quickly and briefly. In my opinion, over the long stretch of the last two centuries, there has been enormous moral as well as physical progress. We now recognize the rights and inherent dignity of all human beings far more than we ever have before. We now almost univers ally abhor the thought of war, as compared to 1898 when “What this country needs is a good war” was an acceptable national slogan. We thor oughly and bitterly condemn Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Russia rather than merely condoning them as we would have a couple of centuries ago. In the long historical view these men of destruction will be reduced to proper size and appear as minor aber rations in the course of steady moral �progress. Our billions of dollars of aid to foreign lands is truly for the good of those lands as well as for our own enlightened self-interest. The United Nations is much less effec tive than we would like, but for the first time in history we do have a brother’s-keeper organization which has some chance of being successful. These and many other developments are, I submit, progress—and of a kind which outweighs and over-rides the minor irritations which arise from the mechanical adjustments to a new type of living. But what, you may ask, does all this have to do with higher education? It has almost everything to do with it. Our task is to teach and add to new knowledge in such a way that the moral and physical gains for the individual and for the world community will continue. As educa tors we have the prime responsibility of making a modern scientific society truly operative rather than letting it become an era in which we only suc ceed in outsmarting ourselves as a dozen earlier civilizations have done. A Few Numbers The sheer weight of numbers of col lege and university graduates required to make the modern society effective is unprecedented and, from one point of view, appalling. Unfortunately, while we are feeling our way we must be prepared to protect ourselves against possible military aggression. Hence, one of the grimmer aspects of the educational need lies in the mili tary field. Supersonic aircraft, guided missiles, electronic brains, and nuclear weapons, in their use as well as in their development, call for a level of scientific achievement and technolog ical skill which can not possibly be supplied by the old apprenticeship and empirical approach. When one con templates that a moderate-sized hy drogen bomb, which can be carried by one aircraft, delivers about twenty times the explosive power of all of the bombs dropped by the tens of thou sands of airplanes of both the Ameri can and British airforces during the six years of World War 2, he gets a little comprehension of how much the world has changed and how seriously the situation may have been altered in ten short years. It is no secret that Russia alone is now turn ing out about twice as many college graduates in science and engineering as the United States. If civilization follows the course we should like to see, those talents would be turned en tirely to peaceful benefits, but they are, at the present time, almost cer tainly being pointed in large degree to preparation for a possible World War 3—hence national survival may very well be at stake, and the meeting of the problem of supplying at least equal talents must fall squarely on the shoulders of American colleges and universities. In the United States by 1970 the college age population will increase by approximately 70% over that of 1954. This datum is not a matter of speculation. The youngsters are with us now—living, eating, breathing— and a large proportion of them are already in the elementally and second ary schools. The rate of survival can be predicted with a high degree of accuracy. Being of college age, of course, does not necessarily mean that they will attend, but past trends in secondary education give some key to the probable course of events. Not long ago a high school education was the exception rather than the rule. Now it is almost universal. In the �last 75 years the population of the United States has about tripled but the number of people in high school has increased at least sixty-fold. Nearly universal college education, for those who have the mental quali fications, is only a logical extension of this trend and is, perhaps, inevit able. In 1900, 240,000 people—four per cent of those of college age in the United States—attended institutions of higher education. In 1950 the number attending had increased to 2,400,000. The proportion attending had become almost thirty percent—a seven-andone-half-fold increase. The trend is still upward and there is no indication of a cessation or any reversal, simply because higher education has changed from being a luxury to a national and individual necessity for a substantial proportion of the population. The Role of the Urban University In this expanding educational ma trix it is almost certain that the urban university will be of increasing im portance. It may well be the sword for the Gordian knot. A larger pro portion of people live in cities than ever before. With slowly rising real incomes a substantial percentage of parents can spend a modest amount on a college education for their chil dren. But for the foreseeable future, the majority will not have the means to send them to distant, expensive universities—particularly in view of the heavy tax structure. Further, the college student often has better op portunities for self-help in his own community than he has elsewhere, particularly if his educational schedule is fairly flexible. The urban univer sity is becoming the university of the middle class, and the middle class is beginning to encompass all of Am erica. There are those who smugly decry this trend, but that doesn’t stop it. The Local Scene Turning from the national to the local scene: in the Niagara Frontier, which is the University of Buffalo’s natural reservoir, those who will be applying for college or university ad mittance in this region will be, on a conservative estimate, at least 100% greater by 1970 than it is today. These numbers will include a certain propor tion who will come to us from outside the immediate region, which is cer tainly all to the good. Nothing can be quite as cloying as provincialism, and the cross-fertilization of ideas and concepts which is achieved by living and working with persons from other regions is one of the most important aspects of higher education. This is the prime reason why it is extremely desirable to enlarge the dormitory program on the campus. In the second major function of a university—research—there is a great deal still to be accomplished. Though we do some very substantial and out standing research in some fields, par ticularly in medicine, we are by no means yet pulling our own weight in the boat of contribution to new knowl edge. In some disciplines we are do ing almost nothing at all. Very sub stantial strides must be made soon if we are to maintain our position as a true university. In general, in the items of public service our performance is somewhat better than it is in research. For two generations the regional professions of medicine and law have been manned largely by local graduates. Many have achieved the highest ranks in national as well as local performance, and thus contributed in a major way to public service. A similar pattern, closely linked to the University, is rapidly developing in industry, business and the arts. Regional industry and civic organizations as well as the profes sions receive major aid and stimula tion, directly and indirectly, from the University. This level of performance must be at least maintained and, pre ferably, expanded. What Will Be Required? In common with every other college and university we face some serious physical needs. The listing of the re quirements of any one institution is probably a fairly typical cross-section of the national picture. If someone could hand us a task assignment sheet with definite instructions upon it, it would probably say that our steward ship on the Niagara Frontier requires that we shall do our best for the fore seeable future to meet the educational needs of all of those who are ade quately qualified and who come to us. By the year 1970 at our own Univer sity this will probably mean about double our present enrollment of 10,000. Staff The first requirement in meeting this task will be to obtain the ser vices of a sufficient number of highlyqualified men and women for instruc tion and research. Our best estimate to date is that in order to take care of the additional load there must be approximately 75% increase in the teaching and administrative staff. The fact that it will not take double the people to handle double the enroll ment does not imply that the quality of the instruction will suffer. I be lieve that it can be improved with this number. By carefully evaluating needs and methods and improving physical equipment and techniques, I think it is entirely feasible to have greater accomplishment with somewhat fewer numbers. This 75% increase in staff, however, does not include the need for expanded research activities and pub lic service. It is hardly possible at this time to make any predictions as to how much those activities can and should be expanded, but they certainly should move forward, for this is the area of most direct and immediate benefit to the community. Buildings The second obvious need is for floor space and equipment—classrooms, la boratories and dormitories. The Uni versity of Buffalo is in a more fortun ate circumstance than many in that it does not, for the time being, need any additional real estate. But the avail able physical facilities are about as nearly saturated as it is possible to be. Some classes are almost literally hanging out of the windows. So de spite whatever increases may be made in efficiency of scheduling and im provement of physical arrangement it is almost inevitable that double the number of students by 1970 will re quire about double the amount of physical facilities. Dollars These simply-stated needs may now be roughly translated into dollars for the target date of 1970. Though the instructional and administrative staff need only increase by about 75%, we happen to be in the somewhat unfor tunate circumstance that the salary scale in effect at present is on the low side, as compared to the national pic ture. In order to attract and maintain an adequate faculty in the forthcom ing keen competition, it is going to be necessary to improve some of the salary structure quite substantially. Though there are still a few dedicated scholars in the world who will teach for the love of it on a mere sustaining pittance, their number is not now and never has been very large. Substitut ing academic recognition, honors, and �treasures in heaven for an adequate paycheck is simply not a realistic way to approach the job. I will go further and say that it is impossible. Because of these increased salary needs, by the year 1970 for the instructional purposes alone, our operating budget will need to be about doubled—that is, from about 5 million to about 10 mil lion dollars per year. This is on the assumption that there is no further inflationary trend. If inflation is still with us, and it still very well may be, then an additional increment will be needed. A rough estimate may be made of the probable cost of handling the in dicated doubling of the floor space. Without going into the details it can be said that it would appear that the cost for the minimum needs will be of the order of 15 million dollars, at the present cost of construction. These figures for increased operat ing budget and building costs cer tainly represent a difficult chore but by no means an impossible one. I am not even sure that it is a discouraging one, if everyone realizes the import ance and necessity of the work. What Are the Sources of Support? Before analyzing the possible sources of support I would like to out line some basic considerations. 1—Very broadly defined, all of the real income in our national economy is derived from industry and agriculture. All other activities are supported by these two. In our present social struc ture, agriculture, while it contributes substantially to the tax receipts, is the recipient of various direct and indirect forms of aid, and so is not a fruitful source for support of additional things outside its own bailiwick. In effect, then, this throws the entire burden for the additional educational load directly or indirectly upon industry— and it is quite a burden. 2—I suggest that we — by this I mean all we Americans—are still ap proaching the mid-twentieth century problem of financing private colleges and universities with a nineteenth century psychology—on the basis of charity. Though giving can be a beautiful and wonderful experience, though biblically it ranks equally with faith and hope as a virtue, though America has been and still is the “giv ingest” nation on earth; charity — even American charity — falls far short of being adequate for the task. Planting For the Future In recent years some of the more far-seeing lumber companies have es tablished the policy of planting seed lings for the future — at least fifty years in the future. This practice has been established as a legitimate busi ness expense within the framework of the existing tax legislation and the mores of the stockholders. The an alogy to the industrial support of edu cation is, I believe, clear. If the sup port of small trees is a legitimate business expense, is not the fostering of education of young men and wo men who will in the near future be the principals in business and indus try even more legitimate and desir able? To activate this analogy will require but little change in the pres ent legal pattern, but it will call for a substantial shift in American busi ness psychology. Unless such a change is forthcoming, it is my belief that private colleges and universities can not long continue to play a vital role in American education. It is true that within the last few years industry has awakened to its new responsibility, as witnessed by such magnificent activities as the National Fund for Medical Education and the Council for Financial Aid to Higher Education. The aid from these funds has been very substantial and is greatly appreciated, but it is still primarily on the basis of charity and is simply a long way from being enough for the years ahead. The Burden of Industry My remarks above might be inter preted as an indication of ingratitude. Certainly such is not my intention and I do not believe that I am lacking in gratitude. I am merely trying to be realistic. I feel that I am quite cog nizant of the increasing burden, com ing from all directions, upon industry. Demands for direct or indirect support of all manner of activities come on its doorstep because there is simply no other place to put them. Many, if not most, of these burdens are translated into the form of taxes. No matter what the political party in power, we find increasing socialistic trends to ward the welfare state. I do not know whether this will eventually solve the unsolved riddle or social injustice, but there is no question that the trend is there and that it takes tax money. Because of the excellent work of the doctors, the nutritionists and the hy gienists of the last century, we have an increasing number of elderly peo ple—those who have lived beyond the productive age who must be taken care of by either their own accumula tions or by other means. In 1900 the proportion of the population that was over 65 was 4.3%. By 1952 this pro portion had almost doubled to 8.4%. By 1960 it will be 9.2%. On top of this is the very heavy burden of expenditure for national de fense, which apparently will be with us for a long time. In 1929 this amounted to 1.3% of the gross na tional product, in 1943 it amounted to 14.2% — a ten-fold increase — and I consider that for the foreseeable fu ture we will be fortunate if we can hold it down to this percentage. And now comes the inescapable demand for more and more education for our rapidly expanding new generation. These are discouraging data and might seem to indicate that industry could not possibly give further sup port to education. However, the de mands are more than balanced by the trend toward increasing productivity, the steady growth toward more and more real wealth. Since 1910 the growth in productivity of the nation has averaged about 3% per year. Since 1929 the real output per capita of goods and services has increased by almost three-fifths, and the trend is still upward. Since 1929 the dispos able personal income (the amount that the average individual has to spend for goods and services) in terms of dollars of constant buying power, has increased by almost 45%. The trend can be and still is upward and there is no reason why it should fall off in the foreseeable future, for we do have the science and technology to produce more and more real income. In gen eral, then, although the trends of de mands may be somewhat frightening, the potential for meeting them is ever increasing and the solution can be found if there is a national will to do it. The Niagara Frontier, being the eleventh community in the nation in volume of industrial production, is more happily situated than many to meet the needs. The wealth of Erie and Niagara Counties approaches the $10 billion mark. The annual income is about $2.5 billion. Each of sixteen whole states has less annual income than does the Niagara Frontier alone. Why Private Institutions? The foregoing statements and con tentions obviously imply that it is a �national necessity to have private col leges and universities, in addition to those which are publicly supported through taxes. Perhaps such an atti tude requires some justification. I firmly believe that this thesis is true, and that American experience amply bears it out. Our social as well as our industrial accomplishments have never been matched at any other place in the world at any time. Our educa tional pattern has not been the sole reason for this but it has been a very substantial and necessary factor. This pattern we have followed is a wellbalanced, complementary duality and not a schizophrenia. It is a structure of maximum strength and effective ness. Be it emphasized and underlined that, barring some unforeseen eco nomic and sociological revolution, the rising demand for higher education will be met by one means or another. The public pressure for it is not to be denied. The only question to be de cided is the route. Shall it be the single taxpayer’s lane or the dual highway of private as well as public support? We will probably be able to discern the trend of the national an swer within the next few years. My firm conviction is that if we are wise, as a nation we will continue along the double highway. Other Sources of Support By now I have probably belabored the increasing responsibility of indus try quite adequately. Let us then turn to the other sources of support. Even though all real income may, in the last analysis, be in the lap of industry and agriculture, it is certainly true that all of the immediate channels are by no means the direct industrial dollar. The first and most evident source of support is the tuition paid by the stu dents themselves. Even the tax-sup ported institutions lean heavily on this. The national average of operat ing income from tuition in tax-sup ported colleges and universities in 1950 was almost 30%. In that same year over two-thirds of the income for private colleges and universities came from tuition. As compared to these data of the national averages, the tui tion and student fees at the University Buffalo Courier Express Photo �of Buffalo supply about 85% of the operating income. Locally at any rate, the students and their parents are bearing the brunt of the burden of direct operating costs. This is self help in the finest American tradition, but perhaps it can be carried too far. Until half a century ago the endow ment fund was the firm foundation for the continuing effectiveness of most of the private institutions. Ex cept in a very few cases, such as the most happily situated eastern univer sities, it seems that major reliance can no longer be placed upon income from endowments. I hasten to add, however, that endowment possibilities will certainly not be overlooked. When available they are a great help and their quest will be continuously pur sued with ample vigor. Then there are the continuing cam paigns of annual giving among alumni, regional supporters and friends. These are sources of increasing importance, particularly when they provide unre stricted funds for the general use of the institution, and are becoming more prominent in tax-supported as well as private universities. Various financial foundations have long been of great importance in higher education, especially in the re search field. The number of them is increasing, as is also the total amount of funds available in this reservoir. They, however, are not by any means increasing as rapidly as the need and, useful as they are, they are only a drop in the bucket in meeting the total bill. There is another area in which I feel that universities can construc tively meet their problems better than they have in the past—in contract ac tivities for research and public ser vices. Though many universities carry on research on a contract basis, for the government and for industry, in only a small percent of the cases do the reimbursements actually cover the complete costs of doing the work. Some institutions are approaching bankruptcy because they are so pros perous in research contracts which do not carry adequate overhead charges. In my opinion this is shortsighted and �poor business. To the best of my knowl edge there is not a single agency of the federal government which will allow the full and realistic overhead charges on a university type of con tract. In effect then, certain incre ments of student fees or endowment funds or annual gifts are helping to subsidize the various government agencies. This I contend is unwise and not in the public interest and could be corrected if most of the universities of the country were sufficiently resolute about it. To a somewhat lesser degree this practice of not charging ade quately for the wares holds even on industrial contracts which are held by universities. As research and other services increase in importance — as they will — it seems to me that this simple device of making adequate charges will help very materially in appropriately spreading the burden. Please pardon me for dwelling overly long on these grubby and mun dane details of means of support. Be cause of their number and variety, I had hoped to inject a small note of optimism. If there is a national and regional will, there are many na tional and regional ways in which the problem of support can be met. Fifty years ago one dollar out of two avail able in public funds was spent on education. Today the proportion has dropped to one out of six. Though much more is being spent on educa tion than ever before, it has been crowded from its former relatively high position by everything from na tional defense to good roads, human rehabilitation and flood control dams. These are all very important but so is education—more important than ever. The problems of support will be solv able when—and not until—education re-attains its proper relative import ance in the national mind. The Eternal Virtues Thus far my discourse may have had the flavor of being too pragmatic and too loaded with prickly and un interesting data. What of a univer sity’s stewardship of those two sacred entities: academic freedom and in dividuality? Are they in danger? I �believe that both are very much in danger, but not from the enemies which most people visualize. Dema gogues (which most academicians fear above all others) have inflicted some bloody surface wounds in America, but none as yet have been really seri ous. The skirmishes will continue and further damage undoubtedly will be done, but I see no rising trend of academic suppression which is truly hazardous. The present situation keeps the American academic world on guard to protect its traditional free dom and the right of a person to be an individual. This may have a cer tain amount of merit. There might even be something to the David Har um philosophy that a moderate num ber of fleas is good for a dog—it pre vents complacency. Rather, I see the hazard to lie in the very pattern and systems of edu cation which we are apparently being forced to develop. One may shudder at the thought that colleges and uni versities are taking on the structure of a mass production operation, but I believe it would be ostrich-like to ignore the fact that there is such a trend. There is but little place for freedom of thought or of action or for the development and growth of in dividuality on an automobile assembly line, but if we are to have and to use over fifty million cars in this country, the automobile assembly line is an essential. When we have ten million youth in the colleges and universities, it will be easy to fall into the mass production techniques and, unwit tingly, the virtues of academic free dom and individuality may suffer some real defeats. A creeping paraly sis rather than direct frontal attacks is the enemy which I fear most. A certain degree of applicability is found in a quotation from a recent book “Faith and Freedom”, by Bar bara Ward: “The West will prove more vulnerable than any other soci ety if it abandons the pursuit of visions and ideals, for, more than any other community, it is the product not of geographical and racial forces but of the molding power of the hu man spirit." Certainly in our plans for the future we must avoid becoming so engrossed in the problems of bricks and mortar, technical qualifications of teachers, and the details of curricula to meet the immediate needs, that we lose sight of these eternal virtues which have been the ultimate strength of higher education for at least two thousand years. If we fail to grasp and hold to these, we do so at our national peril. In our social pattern the great leaders, the doers, the build ers of the future come from the en vironment of academic freedom and recognition of the dignity of the in dividual. How can we maintain this environment in a situation where the mere mass of the operation will tend to make all patterns fit pre-designed molds? Can we maintain a place for and give ample opportunity for the growth of the unusually talented and energetic individuals? When there are so many can we make a proper place for the few? I cannot answer these questions—I can only ask them. But we must con tinually search for the answers. I am sure that adequate answers will lead to an educational structure which places substantial emphasis on the humanities and the arts. May I also be so bold as to suggest that, for vari ous reasons, some of the basic an swers are more likely to be found in private institutions than in public ones. What Is The Task? The short discourse I had originally intended has now become quite lengthy. Even so I have been guilty of some serious sins of omission. I have not touched the great god, curricu lum, nor attempted any erudite dis cussion of the learning process or teaching techniques. I have not spec ulated on enriching the background for teachers nor discussed the expand ing future of adult education, nor delved into the probable level of men tal ability of tomorrow’s average stu dent. These, and many others, should be considered at all times, in many places—but not here. All that I set out to do here was to attempt an an swer to the question: What Is The Task? If this age of ours will be remem bered not for automobiles, nor atomic energy, nor wars, but for the spread ing of benefits once enjoyed by the few, to all mankind, the application for universities is obvious. The watch word must be: Grow in stature and in quality. We must do for many what once was done for a few. We must learn to educate millions as well as we once educated hundreds. The Uni versity of Buffalo must do its share. Expand and grow without loss of quality. That is the task—now let’s get on with it, forthwith. An Excerpt from The Address of I am greatly honored to have this opportunity to speak here on this im portant day for education in Buffalo and to participate in the activities marking the inauguration of Chancel lor Furnas. In a time when any meet ing concerned with education is im portant, it seems to me that this occa sion has a very special significance for all American education. For we meet under the auspices of an educational institution which has been providing through the years a kind of educa tional leadership and inspiration which are going to be needed by all our communities in the years ahead. The University of Buffalo and the citizens of Buffalo who created and developed it have given us an outstanding ex ample of one of the unique features of American education — the interrela tionship of the school and the com munity — the interdependence of the one upon the other. It is my belief that the pattern of educational community partnership, which your university and your citi zens have shaped with understanding and success, suggest the lines along which we can best cope with the un precedented educational needs which we shall have to meet in this country in the remaining years of this century. For if we are to provide the full edu cational opportunity which today’s and tomorrow’s youngsters will demand, and if we are to maintain the Ameri can tradition of local independence of our educational programs and institu tions, our citizens in communities everywhere must follow the example your citizens have set here in their support of this great community’s educational enterprise. How else can we insure the fullest development of this country’s great est resource, the minds and talents of our oncoming citizens and their future leaders? �MR. Roy E. Larsen Your university has demonstrated how flexible, how independent, how practical a community education part nership can be. There would have been no Univer sity of Buffalo if its founders had acted along conventional lines. Its founders said more than one hundred years ago, “Western New York needs doctors. We need a school of medicine here in Buffalo”. That is what they built. Forty years later their succes sors saw the need for a school of phar macy and proceeded to build that. Their successors discovered the need for lawyers, engineers, dentists, and so the university grew. As the needs became apparent they were met inso far as education could meet them. And so it was many years later at the turn of this century when there seemed a clear need for a college of arts and sciences, your citizens did not wait until they could assemble the full con ventional trappings of the traditional college. “First things first”, they said and started a department of English. There is no sign of academic lock step in this record. As an interested observer, I am im pressed by many things that mark the university’s outstanding role in edu cation today: its nationally famous medical and dental schools, its pio neering in many educational tech niques, its long list of distinguished faculty, and its graduates. Today when many seemingly bold experiments are being tried in educa tion to help meet the increasing pres sures on our institutions with more effective procedures, we find time and again that Buffalo is years ahead in many of these supposedly new prac tices, and so the experimenters look to Buffalo’s experience for guidance. This is true in your development of the tutorial system, true of your an ticipatory examinations, college en trance, your modern language labor atory. Buffalo’s acquisition of one of the great literary treasures of our time, the James Joyce papers, is but another example of cause for pride in this community institution. It seems to me that the university has repaid the community many times over for its interest and support when it can claim as its own most of the doctors, dentists, lawyers, judges, and public officials of this great city. But I have been impressed most of all by your acute consciousness of the rapidly growing challenge of mass education and your determination to meet that challenge. At a moment when few colleges and few commu nities have begun to plan how they will meet the demands of the future, your chancellor has asked six dis tinguished citizens of your community to help him in drawing up a master plan for Buffalo. I know that the goals they set will be high, but your new chancellor has shown that he likes high goals and that he has the talents and energy essential to meet ing them. In the years just ahead our educa tional leaders must be men who can rally the support of our most influen tial citizens to the most important cause in which our country must in evitably be engaged the cause of universal education. As humanist, educator, scientist and executive, Chancellor Furnas is well qualified to spearhead that essential leadership. �An Excerpt from The Address of DR. Arthur S. Adams The University of Buffalo is the city’s intellectual center. Its under graduate and professional schools are recognized everywhere for their high standards and for the quality of their graduates. And the opportunities which the Niagara Frontier offers so generously have kept these graduates very largely in this area. In my judg ment, it would be easy to demonstrate that the University of Buffalo has supplied the leadership of the whole structure of professional service for this region. This is an enormous con tribution. It brings with it a com mensurate responsibility and it is in relation to that responsibility that I wish to speak this evening................. It is not enough for universities merely to conserve the knowledge of the past and to transmit it to the oncoming generations. There is no possibility of progress in such a concept. Nor is there any possibility that the univer sity thus can fulfill the function for which society established it in the first place. A university is not an in stitution apart from the people, it is an institution of the people. Its con tinuing vitality and support must be related to the degree to which it serves the people. Moreover, this ser vice is not on a custodial care basis. The university is not a place in which young men and young women are just to be looked out for until they are old enough to assume life’s responsibil ities for themselves. It is rather a place where development and growth of these same young men and women are to be encouraged in every possible way to the end that they achieve a real measure of that sense of respon sibility for themselves and for their fellows which makes for a healthy and enlightened society. Over and be yond this, there is the responsibility of the institution itself, through all of its five organic parts—the board of trustees, the administration, the fac ulty, the students and the alumni— to concern itself with the questions and the problems with which society is bedeviled and to offer thoughtful, useful answers to them. �An Excerpt from The Address of The Honorable Harold E. Talbott It is a pleasure to be here and to participate in the Convocation of DR. Furnas as the new Chancellor of the University of Buffalo. I am particu larly proud of the fact that such a great friend of aviation as DR. Furnas should move into this eminent posi tion. DR. Furnas’ broad background as a scholar, as an athlete, as a scientist, and as an author give him outstand ing qualifications for this high calling. I join with all of you assembled here tonight in paying my tributes to him and wishing him every success for the future. It is popular for after-dinner speak ers to be entertaining. However, as your Secretary of the Air Force, I have to deal with many problems that are very sobering and I am sure that you men are not expecting me to speak to you in a light vein tonight. I do not have to tell you men of the danger that militant communism poses to our great country. Russia has seen the fact that the United States has swung the balance of power to the side of the victor in both World Wars 1 and 2. Russia knows that America is the keystone upon which both the economic and military strength of the free world is based. There can be no question but that Communist Russia has singled us out as the principal foe opposing her in her avowed program of world domina tion. The United States stands today as the leader of the free world in a determination to oppose at all cost this communist lust to subjugate the free world to her ideology. This struggle with communism is a con tinuing thing. You are all aware of the fantastic destructive capability of modern-day airpower. By airpower I mean the combination of the airplane and the atom bomb. We must always remember that we have no monopoly on either airplane or the atom bomb. We do not intend nor can we match the masses of manpower available to the Russian dictatorship. Our hope for survival lies in maintaining our technological advantages over Com munist Russia. �Inauguration Highlights One thousand people attended the Civic Dinner honoring Chancellor Furnas on January 6. �Afrotc Photo Cadet Colonel James T.

Clifford Cook Furnas By Patrick H. Hodgson Of Buffalo, Senior Partner, Hodgson, Russ, Andrews, Woods & Goodyear, Member, Niagara Committee, In American Newcomen. My fellow members of Newcomen: Sitting at this table tonight, I have thought what a congre gation it would be if all the eminent men who have been hon ored by American Newcomen were gathered in one room. It would be an intellectual kaleidoscope that at every turn would illus trate and present the best form of genius. And tonight we meet with one voice and one accord—to honor Cornell Laboratory and its distinguished Director who has contributed so much to the intel lectual and scientific progress of our Nation. This man, this great man, whom we so honor tonight, is well qualified and fitted to join that same group of illustrious men whom American Newcomen has honored in the past. As our beloved Senior Vice-President for North America, DR. Charles Penrose, wrote not long ago: “Courage and strength provoke national approval. Human characteristics stir impelling motives in those whose inventions and discoveries, products of hard work and of God-given in spiration, have added to Man’s living and Man’s enlighten ment.” It is not possible in a few brief moments to give a concise and at [5] �the same time something of a complete biographical sketch of one whose life, whose work, and whose play have shown so many interesting and different facets. DR. Furnas was born on October 24, 1900, at Sheridan, Indiana. He graduated from Purdue, in 1922, with the degree of Bachelor of Sciences; and from the University of Michigan, in 1926, with the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. In 1946, his Alma Mater, Purdue, conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Engineering. Immediately after leaving Purdue, he was track coach and mathematics teacher at the Shattuck School, in Faribault, Minne sota. This was followed by research work at the Illinois Steel Company and graduate work at the University of Michigan. From 1926 to 1931, he conducted research work on metallurgical proc esses in the United States Bureau of Mines. In the latter year, he joined Yale University as Associate Professor in Chemical Engi neering; and also maintained a number of industrial consulting connections. In 1941 and 1942, he worked for the National Defense Research Committee, coordinating a large research and develop ment program. He was appointed by Curtiss-Wright to take charge of its Research Laboratory in Buffalo, in February 1943. This Laboratory was given to Cornell University on January 1, 1946, at which time he became the Director of Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory. While DR. Furnas has conducted much research in the fields of process metallurgy and physical chemistry, yet he has specialized and has written many technical articles dealing with fluid flow, heat transfer, combustion, and other phases of research related to the Aviation field. He is a member of the American Institute of Chem ical Engineers, of the American Chemical Society, and a fellow and member of the Council of the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences. Also, a member of the Committee on Aircraft Construction of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, and a member of the Guided Missiles and Aeronautics Committees of the Research and Development Board. [6] �Is author of a large number of technical articles as well as several books, including Americas Tomorrow (1932); The Next Hun dred Years; a Book-of-the-Month Club selection in January 1936; Man, Bread, and Destiny, written with his wife, S. M. Furnas, (1937); and The Storehouse of Civilization (1939). He was editor of the sixth edition of Roger’s Manual of Industrial Chemistry (1942). Was editor of the Industrial Research Institute monograph on Industrial Research—Its Organization and Management (1948). To relate briefly what this truly great man has done with his mind is to tell you only half of the story. Track Champion in the Indoor, Outdoor, & Cross Country 2-mile events, while in school, DR. Furnas was a long-distance runner of distinction. In 1920, he represented the United States of America in the 5,000-meter event, at the Olympic Games in Antwerp. In 1922, he was awarded the Big Ten Conference medal for the best combined scholastic and athletic record. I now have the honor and privilege of presenting to you a chemist, physicist, teacher, inventor, public servant, author, editor, scholar, athlete, and a fellow-member of the Niagara Committee, in The Newcomen Society of England: DR. Clifford Cook Furnas. [7] �My fellow members of Newcomen: Willingly or not, American universities are in the throes of rapid evolution toward a new pattern of enlarged scope and broadened responsibility. All are acutely aware that the present system is not covering itself with any particular glory of accomplishment, and they are groping for the optimum pattern which will give a best preparation for the complicated task of living and earning a living in an extremely complex world. Re actions to the situation vary to the greatest possible extremes. One school of thought—small but vociferous—contends that concen trated and detached study of the great books of the dusty past gives a necessary and sufficient background for modern living. In other quarters, the ivory towers have been blasted to oblivion and the educational mills turn out hordes of handbook experts who are designated as engineers and thousands of others who are steeped in the lore and mumbo-jumbo of a new social philosophy but who seem to be devoid of any basic understanding of the World and its inhabitants. [8] �The desired optimum pattern probably lies somewhere between the extremes and can most readily be achieved in the sciences, where the dual function of a university—the acquisition of new knowledge as well as dispensing the old—is most prominent. This Newcomen manuscript deals with the fortuitous wedding of a university with an industrial research laboratory, which has re sulted in a pattern unique and interesting and perhaps truly significant in the framework of pure and applied science of the Nation. Although the marriage was not of the shotgun variety, it was accomplished hastily and the ultimate merits of the union cannot yet be completely evaluated. Be it said, however, that the relations are happy and the progeny are all healthy. The Curtiss-Wright Airplane Division Research Laboratory The industrial laboratory of the story came into being in 1942. It was the result of the dreams and hard-headed thinking of Bur dette S. Wright, Vice-President of the Curtiss-Wright Corporation, in charge of the Airplane Division. At that time, no aircraft com pany in the Country had, or ever had had, a research laboratory. That may seem to be a strange statement, since it is obvious that Aviation has been able to advance only on a wave of vigorous and imaginative research. The research involved, however, had nearly always been someone’s else; the aircraft companies had seldom seen the necessity or accepted the responsibility to undertake it them selves. Government organizations, particularly the National Ad visory Committee for Aeronautics, established in 1915, had long been the springboard of advances based on research. Seven univer sities: New York University, the University of Washington, Mas sachusetts Institute of Technology, the California Institute of Tech nology, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Michigan, and Stanford University, had set up aeronautical laboratories with funds from The Guggenheim Foundation and had done yeoman service in educating aeronautical engineers and contrib uting research information. It may be that the relatively modest Guggenheim funds (about $2,000,000) provided for these labora tories, was one of the most significant investments ever made. It has been stated, by certain well-esteemed aerodynamicists, that had it not been for the sound training and research background which [9] �American youth had received in the Guggenheim schools, this Country would not have been able, during the last two decades, to advance rapidly enough in Aviation to win the Second World War. Be that as it may, research results and training in aeronautical research had, from the beginning, been recognized as essential to aeronautical progress, but they had been supplied by one or more Santa Clauses outside the aircraft industry. The colorful characters of the aircraft companies supplied the boldness, drive, and imag ination which are characteristic of pioneers. The industrial advance ments were replete with the products of mechanical ingenuity and clever Engineering—yes. There were testing laboratories as ad juncts to engineering departments, but research laboratories and research contributions in the true sense of the word did not exist anywhere in the industry. The NACA and a few universities had always supplied enough longhaired ideas to keep the practical hard-headed engineers busy, so why change the system? In this atmosphere, Burdette Wright, with his ideas of an auton omous research laboratory which would be in an organizational position parallel with, not subservient to, engineering, sales, and finance, and which would be expected in its own right to make con tributions to aeronautical knowledge, was a bit of a dreamer! But he also is an aggressive and persuasive man, so the research laboratory idea was consummated, priority battles for materials and equipment were won, and, on February 11, 1943, the new Research Labora tory of the Curtiss-Wright Airplane Division at Buffalo, New York, was dedicated, with the present author as Director. This Laboratory, representing an ultimate investment of approx imately $4,500,000, was housed in a building of about 90,000 square feet across the street from the home plant of the Airplane Division. The largest, most expensive, and most dramatic piece of equipment in the Laboratory was a large wind tunnel, to cost $3,500,000, which would be capable of testing large airplane models up to the then unheard-of speed of 750 miles per hour—approx imately the speed of sound. [10] �During the remaining war years, this Laboratory grew and pro gressed. Admittedly, during this period its research contributions did not achieve any great significance. The effectiveness of research organizations grows but slowly. Five years is the generally con ceded minimum for a new research organization to grow to a stature to produce worth-while results. Be it said, however, that as of V-J Day the flower of Burdette Wright’s dream was flourishing nicely and bore promise of fine fruit to come. The joyous sounds of victory celebration were still under way when there came the inevitable flood of telegrams cancelling con tracts for wartime production of aircraft. Within weeks production activities were reduced to a mere 5 percent of the wartime peak. Rightly or wrongly, the Curtiss-Wright Corporation decided that it would not be financially justified in continuing to underwrite the activities of its Airplane Division Research Laboratory. Burdette Wright and the author had many conferences on the situation. To disband would not only bring serious hardships to many members of the scientific staff, it would also mean the loss of a vigorous re search organization which could and should make significant con tributions to the aircraft industry and to national defense. The only answer appeared to be to convert it into a public research institution, preferably as part of a recognized university, and to seek support from the aircraft industry, as a whole, and from the government. With this decision in hand, Burdette Wright and Guy Vaughan, President of the Curtiss-Wright Corporation, entered into dis cussions with Cornell University to see if it would be willing to accept the gift of this active and slightly obstreperous brain child. The Gift The potentialities of the situation captured the constructive imagination and enlisted the immediate enthusiastic support of Cornell University’s President Edmund E. Day. He and a New comen member, Dean S. C. Hollister, Head of the College of Engineering, prepared the case for asking the Cornell Board of Trustees to accept the new, elaborate, and obviously expensive facility that an aviation company, for some reason, wished to [11] �re move from its list of assets. Boards of Trustees are traditionally slow-moving, but haste in arriving at a decision was necessary. In order to receive the desired consideration in Federal tax relief, which could be realized by making a gift in the high-profit Year of 1945, the Curtiss-Wright Corporation, quite logically, stipulated that the gift of the Laboratory must be accepted before December 31 of that year. The calendar had already moved well into De cember and the usual evasion of tabling a motion until the next monthly meeting could not be utilized. It was a straight take-it-orleave-it proposition. After due consideration, the Board lived up to the Cornell tradition of aggressive and constructive action and unanimously accepted the gift, with the understanding and proviso that no University funds would be used to cover operating expenses. Thus Cornell became the owner of the Laboratory, and the ap propriate amenities in the form of legal documents were exchanged. But this was only half the battle. Any business must have cash in the bank to carry on its operations and this called for working capital, which would be used as a revolving fund to pay current bills, which the University was not in a position to supply. Dean Hollister, ably assisted by another Newcomen member, J. Carleton Ward (one of Cornell’s most enthusiastic alumni and President and Chairman of the Board of the Fairchild Engine & Airplane Corporation) began harassing the top executives of the eastern aircraft manufacturers to give necessary working capital for the new research venture. Though the difficulties of seeing and persuading the necessary in dividuals and boards of directors were extreme—the ultimate re sponse was excellent. At a memorable and final dinner meeting in New York, six of the eastern companies: Fairchild Engine & Air plane Corporation, the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corpor ation, the Republic Aviation Corporation, the United Aircraft Corporation, the Bell Aircraft Corporation, and the Avco Manu facturing Corporation pledged to match the Curtiss-Wright gift with the contribution of a $675,000 working capital fund, provided official concurrence could be obtained from their respective boards of directors, and payment could be made before the end of the Calendar Year 1945. All the pledges were fulfilled, but the race with the calendar was close—the last check of the pledged amount was received by the University on the afternoon of December 31, 1945. [12] �The First Years Thus one era of the existence of this new Laboratory closed dramatically and a new one opened suddenly, though without particular fanfare. On January 2,1946, all the 600-odd employees who, two days before, had been receiving their sustenance from an industrial corporation came to work as the employees of a quasi public research institution that had to make its own living. Al though, at that time, there was work on several government re search contracts in the Laboratory, which represented a substantial backlog for several months, not even the collective hope and en thusiasm of the employees could provide real assurance that this experiment in research would be a success. All employees were offered the blessing and aid of the new Cornell Aeronautical Labo ratory in finding other, and perhaps more stable, occupation. It is thought that each one considered the matter carefully, undoubtedly with the aid of his wife, but only one man left to graze in presum ably greener pastures. The task of keying the new Laboratory into the University structure was the cause of considerable experimentation. It was much too large a tail to hang onto any part of the academic dog, and it was almost certain that, because of its worldly characteristics, it would hardly wag in unison with the parent body. Carrying its financial sustenance would have represented an intolerable over load on the University gullet known as the Budget and, besides, the Board of Trustees had specified that this new pup must have and maintain its own feeding tube. Consequently, the Laboratory was made part of the Cornell Research Foundation, Inc., a minute, voluntary-service corporation, wholly owned by the University, which had been set up some years previously to hold patents and handle royalties that might be forthcoming from University in ventions. Though legally sound, this was not an entirely satisfactory arrangement. However, the tolerance and good will of the Uni versity authorities made it workable, at least as an interim device. The two following years at the Laboratory were vital, stimulat ing, and interesting but, admittedly, very trying. Though technical performance was good and research contracts were acquired at a [13] �pleasing rate, yet a variety of not unexpected difficulties kept the managerial skies moderately clouded. Looking back, it appears doubtful that the experiment would have been successful had it not been for the superb guidance of DR. Arthur S. Adams, then Provost of Cornell (presently President of the University of New Hamp shire), a Newcomen member, and his dynamic assistant, DR. Richard Parmenter. A detailed exploration of the fine structure of these difficulties might be significant and informative, but would tend to make this story drag. Hence, it would seem well to employ that artful device which is used in scientific meetings when there are too many papers for the available time, and present the narrative “by title only.” So be it said that there is a “Discourse on Difficulties” and it contains two major subdivisions: “Finances” and “Integration.” As an ab stract: the working capital fund which the aircraft companies had given for the Laboratory proved to be inadequate in amount, and there was no official channel or policy for integrating the Aero nautical Laboratory function with the complete University pattern. DR. Adams had served his Country well as a Navy Captain as well as an educator; and he is a yachtsman of no mean skill. DR. Par menter, despite his erudite accomplishments, is an old sea dog who has commanded ships for the Navy through arctic and tropical storms and has always made port. The rugged competence en gendered by the nautical background stood the Laboratory in good stead. The skipper team of Adams and Parmenter repeatedly demonstrated that they could simultaneously handle the tiller, caulk a few seams, man the pumps, and trim the jib. Sea anchors and jury rigs became part of the routine operations—and yet, throughout, there was always the cheery word and the pleasant smile. It was evident to all hands that the Laboratory was basically a good sound ship, that kept her rigging intact and her bottom clean, and that difficulties which arose were due largely to the inappro priateness of some of the auxiliary gear. Hence, two years ago, she put into port for a short period for a refitting job. [14] �Present Organization of C. A. L., Inc. The refitting involved two main items; both significant, both pioneering steps for a University. First, Cornell created a new ad ministrative post, that of Vice-President for Research, which office would have general cognizance of all contract research in the Uni versity and could spend full time on the task. This provided the official channel through which the Aeronautical Laboratory could act to fit itself into its proper place in the University structure. Second, the Aeronautical Laboratory was set up as a stock corpo ration of the State of New York, wholly owned by the University. Thus it achieved the approximate status of a wholly owned sub sidiary which is in a sufficiently autonomous position to act as an independent unit and does not involve the University in any of its business operations or financial liabilities. This latter step was ably engineered by a Newcomen member, Mr. Joseph P. Ripley (Chair man of the Board of the firm of Harriman & Ripley) and MR. Arthur Dean (of the firm of Sullivan and Cromwell); both of these gentlemen being members of the Board of Trustees of Cornell University. On March 4,1948, the Aeronautical Laboratory became Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, Inc., capitalized at approximately $5,000,000. In exchange for receiving title to the physical and financial assets of the Laboratory, the new corporation gave the University 100 shares of no-par-value stock, this being the total stock issue. On April 1,1948, DR. T. P. Wright (one time Vice-President of the Curtiss-Wright Corporation, formerly Director of the Aircraft Resources Control Office, and most recently Civil Aeronautics Ad ministrator) assumed the new position of Vice-President for Re search at Cornell University, with headquarters at Ithaca; with DR. Parmenter serving as his Coordinator of Research. DR. Wright, in addition to serving as Vice-President for Research of Cornell University, serves as President and Chairman of the Board of Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, Inc. The writer, as [15] �Director of the Laboratory and Executive Vice-President of C. A. L., Inc., reports directly to Dr. Wright. The Board of Di rectors of C. A. L., Inc., is interlocking with the University or ganization, as it contains representatives of the University admin istration, the University Board of Trustees, and University alumni, as well as representatives of the Laboratory and of business organ izations on the Niagara Frontier. From evidence to date, it may be said that this organizational framework appears to be the ideal arrangement for harmonious and effective collaboration be tween an applied research laboratory and a traditional academic body. It is our opinion that other universities, that are presently seeking, with furrowed brow, to arrive at satisfactory solutions of similar situations (and there are many such), would do well to copy this pattern in which Cornell served as the pioneer. With these bits and pieces of history back of us, it would now seem appropriate to delve a little more deeply into just what C. A. L., Inc., is, and what it does, even though some of the ma terial may be slightly repetitive. Operational Aspects Financially, the Laboratory is entirely self-supporting. It derives its income by doing research work on contract in the general field of the aeronautical sciences. Since nearly all research activities in aeronautics are directly or indirectly supported by government, practically all of the Laboratory activities are carried on on govern ment contracts or subcontracts. At the present time there are about 90 contracts in force for a great variety of research tasks. Currently about 45 percent of the work is for the Air Force and about 49 per cent for the Navy, 4 percent for the Army, and 2 percent is for the Department of Commerce, the Atomic Energy Commission, and commercial firms. Fifteen percent of the total is on subcontracts with industries which hold the prime contracts with the govern ment. Obviously, the bulk of the activity is focused on research in the interest of national defense. Currently, there are approximately 575 full-time employees in the Laboratory (of which about 325 are scientists and engineers) [16] �and the volume of business amounts to about three and one-half million dollars per year. In nearly all cases the contracts are of the type known as “cost-plus-fixed-fee.” Hence, there are some net earnings after all expenses of operation have been paid. These net earnings are applied to further research within the Laboratory, to support what is known as the internal research program, or to sup port educational activities. Since all earnings are used for public benefit, the Bureau of Internal Revenue has ruled that the Labo ratory is a non-profit organization. The internal research projects are usually of fundamental or exploratory character and give opportunity for making substantial contributions to the fund of scientific knowledge, and also serve to interest and stimulate the scientific staff to generate new ideas which keep the applied research program vital and active. In the fiscal year 1949 $101,000 were spent by the Laboratory on this internal program on 35 more-or-less-active small projects. In its four years of existence, C. A. L. has expended $295,000 on internal research. This work has resulted in 68 different complete reports on various projects, many of which are at least equivalent to a good PH.D. thesis and represent substantial contributions to the fund of human knowledge. The research and development which are done on contract covers a wide variety of activities in the general field of the aeronautical sciences and their application. This work is carried out in two buildings (one the Laboratory’s own building, the other leased from the City of Buffalo) by seven technical departments: Aero dynamic Research, Wind Tunnel, Aero-Mechanics, Materials, Engineering Physics, Flight Research, and Development. As ex amples of a few of the technical activities: there is work in the newer phases of aerodynamics at supersonic speeds (greater than 750 miles per hour) and a substantial amount of airplane model testing in the large wind tunnel which was finally completed and went into action in June of 1947. This wind tunnel has been used for tests for the Air Force, Navy, and American airplane companies, and also has done work for Canadian and French firms. Research is being conducted on some of the newer propulsion [17] �devices, such as ram-jets and pulse-jets, from the fundamentals of the chemical kinetics of combustion to the development of practical propulsion devices. Extensive theoretical and experimental studies are under way on the problem of “flutter” in high speed aircraft— that tragic phenomenon which has sometimes caused aircraft struc tures to disintegrate catastrophically in flight. Automatic control equipment is devised and developed for both inhabited aircraft and guided missiles. Improved metal alloys for high temperature service are studied and new and better ways of using plastics in aircraft take up part of the program. Radar and various communication and control systems receive concentrated research attention. The stability and control of high speed aircraft is a field of increasing importance and, through the expert services of its Flight Research Department, the Laboratory works extensively with flying laboratories, that is, heavily instru mented aircraft. Ten to twelve aircraft are maintained in active status at all times, ranging from slow-speed helicopters to high speed jet fighters. Devices or processes that grow out of the research stage are adopted by the Development Department which handles the engi neering, making, and testing of working prototypes for the demon stration of feasibility. Two unusually well-equipped shops, staffed with master craftsmen, are capable of making almost any piece of research or development equipment, no matter how complicated or how delicate. Since the Laboratory is not in the manufacturing business, it does not make any devices for sale. It does, however, promote the adoption of its developments by manufacturing in dustry, so that the products of its research may pass into public use as quickly as possible. It is only interested in seeing that the fruits of its efforts are “pushed over the hump” and do not lie forgotten and sterile in some report in somebody’s desk. Major emphasis in the research program is placed on the field of aircraft safety—both in preventing accidents and alleviating their effects when they do occur. Since safety involves human physiology [18] �and psychology, as well as inanimate devices, the safety program is guided by the Cornell Committee for Air Safety Research, which draws its membership from the Cornell Medical College in New York and from the Campus at Ithaca, as well as from the Aero nautical Laboratory in Buffalo. The particular fields of application of the activities, which have been but briefly sampled above, are not confined to the problems of inhabited aircraft, but extend to a major degree into work on guided missiles which are of direct and immediate potentiality in national defense. Logical extension of applications beyond the aircraft field, for instance to automobiles, is pursued to a moderate degree. Public Service The scientific staff of the Laboratory makes very substantial con tributions to the public service of the Country, particularly in the National Defense Establishment. During the past year, individuals of the Laboratory staff held 30 memberships on a variety of per manent government committees, boards, and panels. There are also a large number of temporary participations in the professional activities of the government. In addition, the professional scientific and engineering societies of the Country draw on the services of Laboratory personnel. During the past year, there were 18 publi cations in national periodicals by staff members. Unfortunately for publication, a large part of the research work is carried on under the military classification of restricted, confidential, or secret and, hence, cannot be presented in any public media. During the past year, 207 comprehensive technical reports were issued by the Laboratory, largely on military projects. Educational Activities The Laboratory, each Summer, hires a number of graduate stu dents, and a few undergraduates, on a temporary status, for working in the Laboratory. Preference in this activity is given to Cornell students, but the roster of temporary employees is not confined to these. During the Summer of 1949, there were 25 student em ployees (selected from 200 applicants) from 15 different universit es. [19] �In 1948, there were 33. This has proved to be a very bene ficial experiment and the participating students almost universally agree that they have profited substantially from working in a fast moving applied research organization. The Laboratory also finds that the intellectual drive and enthusiasm of the Summer em ployees more than makes up for their lack of experience. Several of the faculty members at Ithaca and New York serve as consultants on scientific matters to the Laboratory at Buffalo, on a contract basis. This also is proving to be a mutually beneficial arrangement. With the formation of the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, the Ithaca Campus literally extended from one end of the State to the other, the eastern terminus being at the Cornell Medical College in New York. Representation on the Cornell Committee for Air Safety Research of physiology, psychology, medicine, and engineering from the three branches of the Univer sity gives assurance of realistic and objective direction and co ordination of the ever-growing aircraft safety program. In direct instructional activities, a number of the Cornell faculty have journeyed from Ithaca periodically to give graduate courses for credit to members of the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory sci entific staff. Parallel with this, a number of the C. A. L. staff also take graduate work at the University of Buffalo. Conversely, there has been a certain amount of participation by specialists on the C. A. L. staff in giving graduate course work and scientific seminars at Ithaca. The Laboratory has conducted one intensive course in Stability and Control of Aircraft for a selected group of officers from the Navy and Air Force, and is being considered for further educational activities of this sort for the Armed Services. The Laboratory also gives direct support to the graduate pro gram at Cornell. It is currently financing four graduate fellowships [20] �in the College of Engineering at Ithaca in the name of four of the original sponsoring aircraft companies. The support of fellowships is set up in the general framework known as C. A. L. Research Associates, of which the original sponsoring aircraft companies are members. The way is open for additional companies to enter into this program by making contributions to the working capital struc ture of the Laboratory. In the event of such contributions, the Laboratory is prepared to support still further fellowships at the University in the name of the sponsoring company, or will under take a research program in some general field specified by the spon sor to the amount of $4,000 per year. Although the full potentialities of the collaboration between applied research activities and conventional education have not yet been realized, it certainly is true that a substantial start has been made in demonstrating that Cornell’s pioneering efforts in giving the present organizational structure to C. A. L., Inc., and its whole hearted and forthright participation in the field of applied research, is based upon sound philosophy and is well on its way to making solid contributions to the functioning of a great university, both in adding to the fund of human knowledge and in dispensing that knowledge through educational channels. Bridging the Gap The above recital might well elicit the response, “It’s moderately interesting and perhaps significant, but, after all, what does it have to do with a university?” The answer might well be, “As compared to the beginning of the Century, American universities are faced with greatly enlarged spheres of responsibility which inevitably embrace the realm of application of scientific knowledge.” The germ of compulsion goes far back. It was probably best stated by Pasteur when he wrote, “To him who devotes his life to science, nothing can give more happiness than increasing the number of dis coveries, but his cup of joy is full when the results of his studies immediately find practical applications.” The basic reason is actually much more compelling than the desirable addition to the joy of the scientist. It was best demonstrated [21] �in the Second World War, the first armed conflict in history that approached being scientific. The professorial physicists, chem ists, biologists, and mathematicians stepped out of their traditional academic roles and demonstrated an unexpected ability and enthu siasm for contributing directly to the new developments of warfare. This particularly was true when the going became rough and tough. The Office of Scientific Research and Development made significant history in marshalling and integrating the wholesale combined operations between civilian scientists, particularly from universities, and the military, in the development and use of new instruments of war. The war would probably not have been won had it not been for the applied research activities springing from universities. The main sources of applied research on the three most potent new weapons of victory; radar, the proximity fuse, and the atomic bomb, were the scientists and engineers from universities. Without this, the projects would have failed. There were many others of only slightly less significance. The need and demand for such university services did not stop with the cessation of hostilities. Actually, it seems to have increased and bears all evidence of being permanent. The compulsion comes not only from the National Defense Establishment but from State governments, regional groups, public health associations, and par ticularly from industry. It might be contended that industry rather than universities should be responsible for the applied research phase. But, by and large (with some notable exceptions) industry does not do that job adequately, and probably never will. Its center of interest remains tied to those developments which are most closely linked to its own immediate products. It is not a proper atmosphere for the necessary breadth of a research program. There is a great gap between the traditional fundamental research of a university and the ultimate application by industry. Our strength, in peace as well as war, de pends in no small measure on how well we bridge that gap. In dustry will help to support the bridge, but it does not perform well if it is in sole and responsible charge. The Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory might be looked upon as a working prototype of such a [22] �bridge and it would appear to be demonstrating its effectiveness in this role. It is doing it without disturbing the fundamental research programs which must continue at universities, and it actually strengthens them. Further, it circumvents the embarrassing situa tion, which occurs all too frequently, of the faculty man trying to ride two horses that are not running together—instruction and applied research. One further word of justification: if one reads the current stream of history aright, it appears that our Federal government takes it upon itself to supply all those things which the public demands, if they are not being supplied elsewhere. There is no evidence that the trend will be reversed. This leads to an ever-widening stream of socialization which many believe is already almost destructively out of its banks. The ever-increasing number of government-owned applied research laboratories in all fields is ample evidence of the trend. Perhaps a few institutions such as the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory may prove to be the residual rocks of individual in itiative which will stay the complete erosion of the banks which border the remains of the domain of free enterprise. Only history will tell if this will be true and, if so, whether or not it will be a worthy public service. But, while we wait for history, we can do much worse than try to shape its course. On June 25, 1946, there was a dedication ceremony at the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory and a bronze plaque was placed in the lobby, commissioning the newly-born institution to be “. . . an instrument of service to the aircraft industry—to education—to the public at large.” When it is established that this assignment is being adequately accomplished, then it may be said that the infant venture has grown up and has become a successful experiment in research. The End “Actorum Memores simul affectamus Agenda!” [23] �This Newcomen Address, dealing with the history of what today is Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, Inc., was delivered at the “1950 Niagara Dinner” of The New comen Society of England, held at Buffalo, New York, U.S.A., on May 4, 1950. The dinner was presided over by Burton L. Gale, JR., Vice-President, Manufacturers & Traders Trust Company of Buffalo; Chairman of the Niagara Committee, in American Newcomen. DR. Fur nas, the guest of honor, was introduced by Patrick H. Hodgson of Buffalo, Senior Partner, Hodgson, Russ, Andrews, Woods & Goodyear; member of the Niagara Committee, in The Newcomen Society of England. [24] �“This Newcomen manuscript has dealt with the fortui tous wedding of a university with an industrial research laboratory, which has resulted in a pattern unique and interesting and perhaps truly significant in the frame work of pure and applied science of the Nation.” —Clifford Cook Furnas [25] �“Although the full potentialities of the collaboration between applied research activities and conventional education have not yet been realized, it certainly is true that a substantial start has been made in demonstrating that Cornell’s pioneering efforts in giving the present organizational structure to C.A.L., Inc., and its whole hearted and forthright participation in the field of ap plied research, is based upon sound philosophy and is well on its way to making solid contributions to the func tioning of a great university, both in adding to the fund of human knowledge and in dispensing that knowledge through educational channels.” —Clifford Cook Furnas [26] �“On June 25, 1946, there was a dedication ceremony at the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory and a bronze plaque was placed in the lobby, commissioning the newly- born institution to be "... an instrument of service to the aircraft industry—to education—to the public at large? When it is established that this assignment is being ade quately accomplished, then it may be said that the infant venture has grown up and has become a successful experi ment in research.” —Clifford Cook Furnas [27] �American Newcomen, interested always in the colorful history of material advance which has contributed to Man's continued progress, takes satisfaction in this scholarly Newcomen manuscript dealing with scientific research in a vital branch of National Defense, namely Aviation. Whether in peacetime or in war, the science of Aeronautics is of first consideration. Cornell University is to be congratulated upon its wise sponsorship of as im portant an undertaking as this delightfully written recital describes—on the peaceful Niagara Frontier. It is another chapter of American initiative, American achievement, and American inspiration! [28] �The Newcomen Society Of England In North America , this British Society has as its purposes: to increase Broadly an appreciation of American-British traditions and ideals in the Arts and Sciences, especially in that bond of sym pathy for the cultural and spiritual forces which are common to the two countries; and, secondly, to serve as another link in the intimately friendly relations existing between Great Britain and the United States of America. The Newcomen Society centers its work in the history of Material Civilization, the history of: Industry, Invention, En gineering, Transportation, the Utilities, Communication, Min ing, Agriculture, Finance, Banking, Economics, Education, and the Law—these and correlated historical fields. In short, the background of those factors which have contributed or are con tributing to the progress of Mankind. The best of British traditions, British scholarship, and British ideals stand back of this honorary society, whose headquarters are at London. Its name perpetuates the life and work of Thomas Newcomen (1663-1729), the British pioneer, whose valuable contributions in improvements to the newly invented Steam Engine brought him lasting fame in the field of the Mechanic Arts. The Newcomen Engines, whose period of use was from 1712 to 1775, paved a way for the Industrial Revolution. Newcomen’s inventive genius preceded by more than 50 years the brilliant work in Steam by the world-famous lames Watt. �“The roads you travel so briskly lead out of dim antiquity, and you study the -past chiefly because of its bearing on the living present and its promise for the future.” ---- Lieutenant General James G.
