Correspondence should be addressed to the Editor at 802 White Building, Buffalo,N. Y. ...Irving R. Templeton, Law *09 Editor. The Alumni News is here. The alumni are going to give it proper support, and as they do—The News is sure to stay and serve a long-felt need. It seems that 80 years is rather long for a college or university to exist without a printed medium through which the Alumni may express their views. The hope is strong that the Alumni of the University of Buffalo will find the magazine worth the wait, and make it one of the beginning steps in a great forward movement for the best interests of the Alumni and the university. The editor, chosen at the October meeting of the trustees of the reorganized Alumni association, has put this issue out with help from a few. It is merely a start. The future should see aid from many. It is hoped every alumnus and alumna everywhere will lend a hand by sending in suggestions, articles of interest, alumni notes, notices of gatherings and activities. We believe The Alumni News completely fulfills its function only when it is of service to all alumni everywhere. So much for the need it is to fill. What is the great need of The Alumni News? Several thousand subscriptions for five years, and we should like to have 5,000 subscriptions for one year at $2 per year. This sum also pays your alumni dues. Read the enclosed application blank. As a loyal alumnus, feeling you can never repay what the University of Buffalo did for you, sign on the line and send your check with some news for The News. Grover William Wende, M. D., '89, was one of the most distinguished service men who ever served Buffalo and its university. He is said to have been one of the six greatest dermatologists in the world. As a teacher at the University for many years, he had few equals. He was beloved by his students there as he was by his fellow practitioners in his profession. His interests and activities were many and varied, for his heart was big and he was a tireless worker for good. He had the imagination, skill and patience of a genius in his practice and research. In his everyday life and manifold activities he exhibited true Wendean independence in thought, word and action. He also was a leader in his profession, in all its varied activities, who was respected and honored by everyone. The University and Alumni have lost a great man whose place cannot be filled. The sympathy of the Alumni is extended to the family of Mr. McNulty. His sudden death recently was a distinct loss to the city in which he was a commanding figure in the business world, and to our University for which he had worked so long and efficiently. The unnumbered friends of Dr. Willis G. Gregory, our Senior Dean, regret to hear of his severe loss in the death of his daughter only a few weeks past. He and his family have the sympathy of his host of friends in and out of the University. The University is to be congratulated on the newly reorganized Alumni Association that takes in all in one great family. This step is one of the most progressive taken for the university in a decade. Special credit is due Drs. Lemon, Boynton and Thurber. �THE ALUMNI NEWS OF UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 3 CHANCELLOR CAPEN REVIEWS LAST FOUR YEARS PROGRESS The progress of an institution of learning in a given period of time may be measured in several ways. It may be measured in terms of the growth in number of students. This is one of the commonest measures and one of the least significant. Another index of progress frequently used is the increase in an institution's material resources. This is a much more valuable yardstick than the first because material resources are needed to secure those intangible values in which universities principally deal. But the genuine progress of an institution of learning is evidenced by an improvement in quality. If this can be demonstrated it is far more important than are advances either in numbers or in wealth. That the University of Buffalo has actually progressed during the last four years is plain by whichever of these criteria it may be judged. GROWTH IN NUMBERS Its growth in numbers has been considerable. The enrollment in all departments for the year 1922-1923 was 1580. The enrollment for the year 1925-1926 was 3315. Figures for the year just opening are not yet available but evidently the number last cited will be considerably sur- passed by the current year's enrollment. The older alumni of the University will be interested to note in this connection that the increases in the long established professional schools have been slight. In one case at least there has been an actual falling off. The large numerical growth of the University is due to the development of three of its newer divisions, the College of Arts and Sciences,the Summer Session and the Evening Session, which includes for the present the School of Business Administration and Journalism. Further increases in numbers in the immediate future are likely to occur principally in these more recently established units of the University and in other units that may be subsequently created. To my mind the somewhat extraordinary numerical expansion of the University means just one thing, namely, that there is an enormous demand in the area that it serves for types of training that have been only recently provided. There is no particular occasion for pride except in the fact that the Council and faculties have had the wisdom to interpret this demand and as far as possible to meet it. The University of Buffalo is no better today just because it happens to be larger than it was four years ago. But if the University's growth in numbers has been little short of phenomenal, its growth in material resources has been even more remarkable. MATERIAL RESOURCES On June 30th, 1922, the funds of the University amounted to $1,280,929.46. In addition there had been recent capital disbursements amounting to $667,117.92. These two items represented the endowment fund account started at the time of the campaign December, 1920. The University also possessed land valued at approximately $400,000.00 together with the medical, dental and law school buildings and Townsend Hall. These structures and their furniture and equipment were worth approximately three quarters of a million more. On June 30th, 1926, the funds of the University amounted to $3,211,154.22. Its capital disbursements since the beginning of the endowment fund account had been $1,163,245.34. The total assets of the University were $5,514,644.12. In these are included the splendid new building, Foster Hall, used primarily for chemistry and pharmacy, the reconstructed Science Hall on the campus and extensive new laboratories and equipment for the medical and dental schools. The expenses of operation of the University for the year 1922-1923 wese just short of $400,000.00. The budget of the University for the year 1926- -1927 amounts to $811,503.97. The endowment fund campaign in which $5,177,000.00 was subscribed yielded between eighty and ninety per cent of this sum during the five year period over which subscriptions were to run. The total shrinkage is not expected to exceed ten per cent when all of the delayed payments have been made. The campaign put the University for the first time in its history in possession of a substantial endowment and provided it with the buildings and physical facilities necessary for carrying on its work. Some seventeen years ago the University acquired from the County of Erie for its main campus the property then used as the County Hospital and Home. In 1922 Foster Hall, erected on this campus together with one of the reconstructed County buildings, Science Hall, were occupied by the School of Pharmacy and the College of Arts and Sciences. For four years the University and the County have been joint tenants of the University Campus. Improvements of the property could not be made until the County evacuated. �4 THE ALUMNI NEWS OF UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO THE NEW CAMPUS This long expected event took place in August, 1926. Immediately the Council of the University started the complete re' construction of the main hospital building. The accompanying cut was taken from the architect's drawing showing the exterior of the building as it is expected to look when reconstructed. It is designed to house the majority of the administrative offices of the University and the University Library, as well as to provide a large number of lecture rooms and a general auditorium. Coincident with the construction of this build- University have been notably improved. The School of Medicine has always been placed in Class "A" in the classifications made by the American Medical Association. In 1922 the School of Medicine, however, barely met the minimum require- for a Class "A" school. It was deficient both in full time staff and in equipment. Now these deficiencies have been made good. The unrivaled clinical facilities of the City Hospital have been added to those hospital opportunities formerly open to the School. Research has been fostered and supported.

At the same time that the University has tried to improve the quality of the undertakings to which it was already committed, it has felt the necessity of extending its service in new directions to the community. cept of an engineering curriculum and various special types of instruction requested by different groups of citizens. The large enrollment in the business subjects and in journalism led the Council to establish a new School of Business Administration and of Journalism. Coincident with these developments the process of unifying the University has gone steadily forward. Certain central administrative offices such as dean of women, medical advisers, an executive secretary and Chancellor Samuel P. Capen Space does not permit even a hasty sketch of all of these new undertakings. By far the most conspicuous and most generally useful of the newer services of the University is that group of activities carried on through the new administrative division known as the Evening Session. This division offers for the benefit of those who are employed during the daytime courses in the sciences and in the humanities such as make up the curriculum of colleges of liberal arts, technical and scientific courses in business and in journalism, the basic courses a director of physical education have been appointed. The University Senate repre- senting the faculties of all of the divisions of the University has been created. Various faculty committees now have charge of those general activities that concern the University as a whole.

D., '04, realizing the necessity of an alumni body, organized to serve the interests of the Universityat large, established the Federated Alumni Association in 1914. The Constitution of the Federated Association gave the following as its object: "The object of this association shall be various divisional Alumni organizations for the expenses of the District Branch Dinners be appropriated to the Alumni office as a contribution toward its support. 4. That the establishment of an Alumni Magazine be begun immediately under the direction of the Alumni Secretary. 5. That either the present committee be continued or a new committee appointed by the President to assist for the first year in carrying out these plans. The proposals were accepted and a committee appointed to make necessaryrevisions of the Constitution. The committee on revision met several times during the fall of 1925, and a proposed new Constitution was submitted to the House of Delegates at a meeting of that body held January 14th, 1926. The new Constitution was carefully studied at this and a subsequent meeting held February 6th and finally adopted by a mail vote. Since February, 1926, the Board of Trustees has met several times, each meeting being marked by an enthusiastic attendance and material accomplish- to promote ments. have been acquainted with it has been very real. This qualitative improvement has been made possible by the unusual devotion of the community in which the University is set.

THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION the acquaintance of the Alumni of the University of Buffalo; to strengthen the connection between the Alumni and the University; to promote all matters pertaining to the welfare of the University; and generally to advance the interests^ influence and efficiency of the University of Buffalo." Under the faithful guidance of Dr. Kauffman the House of Delegates went a long way toward accomplishing the objects of its organization during its twelve years of existence. Five branch clubs were organized in New York State and with the exception of the one in the Metropolitan District, the branch clubs are all functioning today. With the increasing size of the Arts College and its Alumni body there rapidly developed the necessity for establishing an Alumni Office. At a meeting of the House of Delegates, held May sth, 1925, the matter of establishing an Alumni Office and engaging an Alumni Secretary, was discussed. A motion was passed authorizing the President to appoint a committee to consider ways and means of organizing an Alumni Office. The committee was appointed and produced a number of proposals at the next meeting of the House of Delegates, held October Bth, 1925. The proposals were as follows: 1. That Dr. A. B. Lemon be appointed Alumni Secretary to serve the first year without pay, his compensation thereafter to be fixed by the House of Delegates. 2. That a half time or full time clerk be employed to assist the Alumni Secretary. 3. That the fund of two hundred dollars ($200.00) now being contributed by the The most noteworthy product of the re- organization is the Alumni Magazine. During the summer of 1926. the Trustees were busy with a scheme for financing the Magazine. At the first fall meeting the Magazine Editor was selected and editorial policies discussed. Through the activity of the Secretary the broadcasting of a series of radio talks by leading Alumni and Faculty members has been arranged. Efforts are being made to strengthen the branch clubs by introducing monthly luncheons. The reorganization has been completed so recently that its influence has not yet begun to be felt. The program for the next year includes activity that is bound to attract the attention of Alumni toward their Alma Mater The graduating class of 1925 inaugurated an alumni pledge providing for the annual payment of a gradually increasing sum to the University, a part of which shall go to the Alumni Association for the maintenance of the Alumni Office and its activities. At present the only source of income that the Association has is from these pledges. The amount at present is wholly inadequate for the needs of the Office. .

Wende on February 9, 1926, the University of Buffalo lost one of its most loyal and valuable Alumni. Professor of Dermatology in the Medical Department for twenty-seven years, a member of its Administrative Board and of the Council of the University, no one held the interest of the Medical School and the Greater University of Buffalo closer to his heart than he. Every movement for the welfare of the University found in him a staunch supporter and able leader. His work in the financial campaign for the Greater University was of inestimable value. He was one of thefounders of the University of Buffalo Alumni Club and its first president. His position in the community and in his profession, for he was internationallyrecognized as one of its leaders, added prestige to the University of Buffalo. Dr. Wende was born in the village near Buffalo which bears his family name. He was educated in public schools and in the Medical Department of the University of Buffalo, from which he graduated in 1889. After three years' post-graduate studies, mostly in Europe, he began the practice of dermatology in the office of his brother, Ernest Wende. He was an indefatigable worker, an exceptionally keen observer and a clear and logical thinker. These qualities with the extensive clinical material to which he had access made Dr. Wende one of the foremost dermatologists in the world. Notwithstanding his enormous private practice and his position as dermatologist to practically all of the larger hospitals of Buffalo, he was active in the widest variety of affairs. He served as Chairman of the Section of Dermatology and Syphilology of the American Medical Association, was Secretary of the American Dermatological Association from 1905 to 1909 and its President in 1911-12. He served on the Surgeon General's Committee for the Handling of Venereal Disease in the United States Army during the Great War. He was President of the Erie County Medical Society and of the New York State Medical Society and for many years represented New York in the House of Delegates of the American Medical Association. He was an exceptionally able teacher and endeared himself to the students who learned to turn to him for counsel and advice. He was ever ready, to help the younger men in the profession and was never too busy to lend his aid to any worthy cause. 9 At the time of Dr. Wende's death he was at the zenith of his usefulness. He was recognized as one of Buffalo's most use- ful and influential citizens as evidenced by the fact that on March 8. 1926, a Community Memorial Service in his honor was held in the Hutchinson High School under the auspices of the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, the University of Buffalo, Canisius College, the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences, the Medical Society of the County of Erie, and the Buffalo Academy of Medicine. Grover W. Wende's life was of inestimable value to his Alma Mater and his memory will be an inspiration to its Alumni and all those whoknew him. ALUMNI NOTES Charles W. Bullock, Ph.

McNulty a member of the Council of the University of Buffalo on Sunday, October 17, as the result of injuries received in an automobile accident the previous day. In his death the University suffered an irreparable loss, for Mr. McNulty, who had previously rendered signal service, had been actively engaged in promoting the interests of the institution for the past several months. Mr. McNulty was a prominent figure in the business and social life of Buffalo. He was a president of the Pratt and Lambert Paint Company, with which business he had been associated for twenty-four years. He was a member of the board of directors of many other large concerns, including the Matthews Paint Company, the Al- berger Gas Engine Company, and the Pierce Arrow Motor Car Company. He was a director of the Federal Reserve Ban^ and chairman of the board of directors of the American Tung Oil Company. Mr. McNulty became an outstanding figure in Buffalo as chairman of the distribution committee of the Liberty Loan organization. In the fall of 1920 he helped conspicuously in the conduct of the $5,-000,000 endowment fund drive for the University of Buffalo and that year became a member of the council of the University in which capacity he continued to serve until his death. As chairman of a special committee of the Council he was engaged at the time of his death in the work of raising $600,000 for the reconstruction of a building on the campus to house the offices of administration, the library, and to provide an auditorium and additional classrooms. THE EVENING SESSION The Evening Session of the University of Buffalo is beginning its fourth year of work, and up to October 20, 1926, had enrolled for this first term 918 students in courses given in University buildings here in Buffalo, about 100 more in four courses given in Niagara Falls and about the same number in additional courses given in Dunkirk and Jamestown. Perhaps some Alumnus will ask, "What is an Evening Session?" Well, an Evening Session is a University continuing into the evening the same sort of things it does by day. Not merely the same things, to be sure, for certain professional courses cannot be given at night because of prohibitory regulation, but on the other hand, the University of Buffalo gives a large group of evening courses that found anywhere in the University by day. Obviously, the Evening Session is for adults, for those who work by day. cannot be Students are mature and earnest. Some are working toward Master's degrees, some towards Bachelor's and some care nothing at all about credit but merely want the content of courses for which they enroll. Who teaches evening students? In collegisubjects instruction is given almost entirely by members of the regular University faculty, so that the students studying Mathematics, languages, Chemistry, and Psychology in the Evening Session get the same courses from the same men who would instruct them if they were in day classes. In addition to college courses, the Evening Session offers a large group of business courses and some in journalism. These evening courses are taught by specialists, who by day ar.e professionally engaged in doing the things they are teaching by night. The faculty is, therefore, a combination of 1. Persons whose profession it is to teach; 2. Successful business men, lawyers and journalists, teaching subjects in which their daily practice has made them expert. To summarize, the Evening Session faculty consists of a score of persons whose sole vocation is teaching. In addition there are 13 accountants, 4 lawyers, 2 engineers, 4 journalists, 3 advertising men, and others. Students meet, for the most part, once a week, some twice a week, but the recitation period is long. This device saves students the necessity of frequently coming to class, and enables them to work on a given subject for a longer consecutive period of time. Obviously, Evening students have no time to stroll around. Since most of our classes are held in downtown buildings, where there is no campus, they come to class and go straight home. Social life, therefore, occupies a much less prominent place in an Evening Session than in a Day Session,but it is not wholly lacking. Students organize clubs and fraternities, carry on a series of dances, card parties and amateur shows that seem to £11 the bill. Our evening students average 27^ years of age. Last year some were as young as 17, and one at least was beyond 70. One in ten is a college graduate, three in ten have attended college without graduating, one more is a Normal School graduate. And so you see it is possible to carry on genuine high grade University work. ate �THE ALUMNI NEWS OF UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Many of our students are teachers in the public schools, and in the professional courses we have accountants, salesmen, department managers and executives of dif- ferent kinds. One of our most interesting classes is Astronomy. The subject lends itself well to evening instruction, the class meeting part of the time in a recitation room, and some nights out on the campus, where there is a telescope. Glance at the make-up of that class. One young woman is manager of a department in one of our big Main Street stores and is president of the largest Women's Noonday Luncheon Club in the city. One man, who is a college graduate, was a professional baseball player and pitched in a World Series not so many years ago. Another man is a noted accountant, comptroller of a very large business concern having headquarters in Buffalo; and another is a professional chemist. One woman is a teacher in the public schools, another a buyer in a department store. Another man is a carpenter, and so it goes. We enroll doctors, lawyers, rich men, poor men, and we have one Indian, who may be a chief. Instructors in evening classes get a kick out of their work. Students are earnest and conscientious. On the whole, the youngest and largest division of the University is an interesting place, one that gives the University an immediate and live contact with adults at work in the business and professional life of the city.

The largest increase was to be found in the number of teachers, superintendents and principals enrolled, as there were 234, or 50 % of the entire enrollment from this profession. Students came from 21 differen states and three foreign countries, and 210 of the students had not previously been enrolled in this University. There was a large nucleus of former Summer Session students enrolled and they, as well as the newcomers, entered enthusiastically into the extra-curricular activities of the session which were very ably directed by Willard H. Bonner. Trips were conducted to Toronto, Niagara Falls, East Aurora, to the Bethlehem Steel Plant at Lackawanna, to the Larkin Factory, to the Albright Art Gallery and the Buffalo Historical Society and other points of in- carrying advanced work, as against 28 such holders of first degrees in attendance the previous summer. This is a much larger proportion than is to be found during the regular year and shows the demand, especially of those teaching during the academic year, for an opportunity to do work leading to an advanced degree during the summer. Divisions of the University other than the College of Arts and Sciences are now offering courses in the Summer Session. terest. For thefirst time two convocation periods of forty minutes each were held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings throughout the session. A member of the faculty gave a lecture one morning and a musical program, usually by Buffalo talent secured by Mr. Robert Hufstader, was given on the other. Both types of programs were appreciated and well attended. A series of Wednesday afternoon teas for the purpose of giving the students an opportunity to become acquainted with members of the faculty was held in Foster Hall. Life at Oxford and Cambridge, life at Heidelberg and Leipsic, the chemistry of foods, were subjects of some of the thirtyminute talks given by members of the faculty and followed by lively discussions. The climax of the activities was reached with the Summer Session Steak Dinner and Dance held on the campus and in the gymnasium, which was attended by over helf of the students enrolled. Ten issues of the Kampus Klarion, a mimeographed sheet for Summer Session students, were published. Recognition of the quality of instruction maintained by our Summer Session faculty is indicated by the fact that 41 undergraduate students from other colleges and universities located in 11 different states and two foreign countries enrolled in our Summer Session,since students from other institutions must usually have their courses approved in advance if they are to be credited toward a degree. In this connection another feature worth noting is that 69 of the students, or 15% of the enrollment, were college graduates Dr. C. H. Thurber Director Summer Session The School of Medicine gave three courses last summer and the School of Dentistry gave advanced work consisting of three courses for public school dental hygienists. The School of Business Administration and Journalism gave six courses. Buffalo has an exceptional climate and an advantageous location for adopting the "Quarter System," the plan by which the academic year is divided into four quarters rather than two semesters and a summer session. This arrangement makes it possible for students in the college or professional schools to complete their courses in three years instead of the four now required, provided they attend continuously. The Summer Session looks forward to the time when the University can put the "Quarter System" into operation and all the divisions shall offer a proportionate number of their courses during the summer quarter. �14 THE ALUMNI NEWS OF UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO JUDGE ALMON W.

IN STATE CONFERENCE The University of Buffalo joined the New York State Intercollegiate Athletic Conference at its formation about two years ago. Its purposes are similar to larger athletic collegiate groups, and primarily to foster the college sports by competition among the smaller colleges in the state. The New York State IntercollegiateAthletic Conference held its annual meeting October 25 at the U. B. Alumni club. This meeting was an important one for several reasons, one being that a new ruling as to the eligibility of candidates for athletic teams was adopted. Adopting the suggestion of its eligibility committee, the conference ruled that a candidate for sports at any affiliated institution must file a filled-in questionnaire as to past participation in secondary school and collegiate athletics as a scholarship student. In addition, he must tell, on honor, whether or not the school made any concession to induce him to enter. Seeking to bind this, therule calls for the head of athletics in the particular school to countersign this questionnaire. These forms must then be filed with Dr. F. H. Ristine, chairman of the ehgibdity committee, Hamilton College, Clinton, New York. Those covering football candidates annually must be filed prior to October Ist; basketball or winter The date set for the Conference track meet was May 28th. It will bespring held at the University of Rochester. The crosscountry race will be held November 6th at Hobart College. It was also decided that beginning next year each conference member must schedule at least four games with conference teams in basketball and football. The following were present at the meeting: University of Buffalo Graduate manager, William J. Blackburn; dean of evening school, C. S. Marsh; Art Powell, basketball coach; Dr. Keane, Professor of Hygiene, and Thomas Neill, coach of the Freshman team. President, Edwin Fauver, Rochester; secretary, George A. Roberts, and "Deak" Welch, Hobart; F. H. Ristine and A. I. Prettyman, Hamilton; B. A. MacGill, W. J. Farrisee, Fred C. Wilson and C. B. Johnston, Clarkson Tech; Charles M. Robert and W. P. Knauss. St. Lawrence; Rev. Father E. J. Harrison and Coach Peter G. Dwyer, Niagara; Fred V. Ostergren, St. Bonaventure; E. A. Heers and A. E. Champlin, Alfred University. — BASKETBALL TEAM A WINNER Buffalo now holds an enviable reputation in Intercollegiate basketball circles. During the past decade, under the very able tu- telage of Coach "Art" Powell, the Blue and White has always contested with the leading college teams. Buffalo has returned victorious in the greater number of these contests and has consequently earned a prominent standing on the hardwood floor. Last year was an exceptionally successful one for the Blue and White team. Led by their diminutive captain, Lou Farris, they triumphed over the traditional rivals Hobart, Niagara and Alfred. They also conquered, among many others, the powerful Cornell, Colgate and Princeton quintets. Syracuse, generally recognized as national champions, was very fortunate in defeating Buffalo by the slim margin of a solitary point. As a nucleus around which to build his team, Powell will have the veterans, Cap- tain-elect Lew Busdle, Bob Harrington and Bob Potter.

Mc- doing Mr. McNulty, whose death was reported in the November issue of theAlumni News, took a prominent part in the University of Buffalo endowment campaign in 1920, when $5,000,000 was raised. He was a member of the council and had a leading part in the reorganization of the university. He was engaged at the time of his death in a campaign to raise $600,000 for the reconstruction of one of the buildings for a college of arts and sciences. Professorship in English Chancellor Samuel P. Capen made public the following letter from Mrs. Harriet McNulty, wife of James H. McNulty: "Permit me to offer, in behalf of my family, to the University of Buffalo the endowment of a professorship in the college of arts and sciences, in memory of my late husband, James H. McNulty, to be known as The James H. McNulty Professorship in English. The amount of this endowment, which is to be held and the income used for the purposes indicated, is to be $125,000. "We believe that a gift to the University of Buffalo is a most fitting memorial to Mr. McNulty. His service to that institution was a source of great happiness to him and to the members of his family. He watched with increasing interest the broadening Opportunity for higher education which the university is offering to many boys and girls of our city, and to whom this privilege would otherwise be denied. He realized keenly the pressing needs of the university which have followed its rapid expansion, and was, at the time of his death, engaged in seeking funds for the institution. so much." Very Appropriate On the subject of the gift, Chancellor Capen said: "The memorial to the late James H. McNulty, established by the exceedingly generous gift of Mrs. McNulty and her daughters, is singularly appropriate. The University of Buffalo claimed Mr. McNulty's interest and devotion in greater measure than did any other civic cause or institution. His contribution to it in effort and in substance during the last six years was one of the most influential factors in bringing it to its present stage of development. The gift carries out the spirit of Mr. McNulty's practical and unostentatious service. It helps the university to be more useful now and in the future to a larger number of young people. His friends and fellow workers rejoice, especially that through the establishment of this professorship, his name will be perpetually associated with the university he helped to build." - DR. PARSONS STATE HYGIENE COMMISSIONER Dr. Frederick W. Parsons, '01, of Buffalo, former superintendent of the Buffalo State Hospital, was appointed January 17 by Governor Smith to the important $12,-000 post of state commissioner of mental hygiene. "His ability and his standing are of the very highest," is the gist of the Governor's commendation. The functions of the old state hospital commission were transferred to the newly created department of mental hygiene, which will have supervision over all state �THE ALUMNI NEWS OF UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 4 hospitals, including Mattewan, Craig Colony for Epileptics and all state schools for mental defectives. T^on-Political The appointment of Dr. Parsons is regarded as strictly non-political. Since the Buffalo physician assumed the chairmanship of the old hospital commission, the Governor has acquired a high regard for his talents as a psychiatrist. Dr. Parsons became medical member and chairman of the former state hospital com- mission on July 1, 1926, by appointment of Governor Smith, to succeed Doctor C. Floyd Haviland, who then became medical superintendent of the Manhattan State Hospital. Served Buffalo Seven Tears From April 1, 1919, to July 1, 1926, Dr. Parsons was medical superintendent of the Buffalo State Hospital. He was born in Buffalo November 13, 1875, and received his preliminary educa- hopes of a successful season have become a memory. What kind of a memory does the football season of 1926 leave? It leaves no list of victories, with attendant snake marches by jubilant students and alumni. It leaves no memory of large Alumni Reunions. No victory stands out to be told to future generations; and no new worthwhile advancement has been made. Saddest news of all, there is no guarantee that things will be better in 1927. To those who point to the catastrophe of the one-year ruling, cutting out freshmen, it might be well to consider that basketball is under the same disadvantage, with a much different result.

S., the monthly meetings of the Syracuse Branch of the University of Buffalo Alumni Association are filling a long felt need of a consolidation of alumni spirit. Three meetings have already been held this academic year. The meetings are held Monday evening of each month at 6:15 P. M. at the Yates, Hotel, Syracuse, N. Y. Brief entertainment and a good speaker follow each dinner and the program terminates at 8:15 sharp. A bowling league has been organized composed strictly of U. B. graduates. The spirit of competition is running high. Plans are already under way for the annual banquet which will be held early in the spring. At that time it is hoped to have the Chancellor present to speak on University of Buffalo progress. �THE ALUMNI NEWS OF UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 6 (Continued from Page 4) The year 1901 saw the same schedule, and Buffalo lost but one game. In 1902, chaos reigned. Athletcis died. Even bas' ketball, which was revived in 1907, only lasted two years. In 1913, an attempt was made to revive athletics. An athletic association was formed. Plans were laid for the developmerit of athletics. ?iew and Better, 1915 In the fall of 1915 football was revived with Frank Mt. Pleasant, the famous Carlisle Indian player, as coach, and George Schafer as Manager. This year saw the introduction of "Jimmie" Griffin as trainer. Faithful old "Jim" is still on the job, and the warriors of yesteryear look back with fond memories of his careful treatment of their bumps, bruises and "Charlie Horses." Coach Mt. Pleasant had a difficult task. Not only a green team but men who had never played the game were developed into a team. The first game played was against Syracuse and U. B. lost. The crowning event of the season came toward the end of the season when Buffalo defeated Rochester. The grads of post-prohibition days cannot fully comprehend all the celebration that happened in "those good old days." That year Buffalo lost five games but defeated St. Bonaventure, Thiel and Rochester. The squad consisted of J. A. Simpson, Michael Swados, S. E. Cooper, H. H. Hickey, H. M. Johnson, C. S. Dale, S. C. Lopicano, C. J. Kennedy, W. L. Meisner, Charles Goldberg, G. W. Voss, Austin Failey, R. W. MaKay, K. B. Bellinger, Ernest McAndrew, M. Hayes, R. G. Harrison and Irwin S. Alpert. Real Records Kept The season of 1916 saw "Art"1 Powell as the football mentor.

There is something radically wrong with a team which in the latter part of its season is defeated by an Alumni team, which was not forced to extend itself. To be defeated by an Alumni team, which was held to strict collegiate substitutions, and full fifteen minute periods of play, is nothing for a University to boast of. Time Ripe to Solve the Trouble Our Alma Mater has thrown its traditions to the winds. Officially, it has not even preserved its scores. Listlessness predominates. Student support is a myth. Faculty approval in many quarters is doubtful. Equipment is poor. Schedules overbalanced. The time has come to get busy and improve, or drop the sport until this can be done. —Vincent J. Loughlin. some, Murray, Kavle, THE ALUMNI CLUB Its History, Personnel and Property The Alumni Club of the University of Buffalo enters upon its sixth year with J. Galvin Woodworth as its new President, John V. Maloney, First Vice-President; R. P. Dobbie, Second Vice-President; L. I. March, Secretary; H. A. Bell, Treasurer, and R. A. Paxton, as Chairman of the House Committee. Its new Board of Governors consist of the following: A. H. Aaron, E. H. Butler, A. G. Bennett, E. H. Breckon, H. A. Bell, A. R. Bigelow, W. P. Brennan, W. P. Cooke, R. P. Dobbie, George G. Davidson, M. B. Eshleman, A. Hoffman, George L. Hager, Lloyd E. Inland, A. B. Lemon, J. Maloney, L. I. March, V. E. O'Grady, R. A. Paxton, H. Smith, L. H. Smith, T. J. Walsh, J. G. Woodworth and T. F. Williams. The Club Property The January entertainment includes an illustrated lecture by Mr. Philip Becker Goetz on Northern. Africa, scheduled for Monday evening, January 10th, and a Club Dance, Saturday evening, January 15th. The Club is located at No. 147 North Street, a few doors from Delaware Avenue and directly opposite the Hotel Lenox. The Club property sits well back from the street on the north side of Delaware Avenue and is built of yellow Italian brick in the style of architecture of the French Renaissance. The interior woodwork and finish of the Club rooms are unusually handsome. All of the principal rooms have massive fireplaces of exceptional design and rare workmanship. On the ground floor is the Club Library, Reception Room, Reading Room and Dining Room. The second floor has a large Assembly Hall, Card Rooms and Billiard Rooms. The third floor is laid out in dormitory rooms in which members of the Club reside. The grounds of the Alumni Club form one of the beautiful private parks in Buffalo. The land runs along North Street with one hundred fifty feet frontage and runs back nearly to Summer Street a depth of six hundred feet. The walks, plantings, gardens and shrubbery were laid out by Olmsted, the famous landscape architect. Midway to the rear, the building which was formerly used as a garage has been provided with lockers, showers and a dance floor. Two years ago the Club built in the extreme rear of the property one of the finest tennis courts in the city. The Club now has an active membership of over 500, and a considerable associate membership. The dues are $40 per year for active members and all men who are graduates, members of the University faculty, members of the Council and administrative officers of the University are eligible to membership. There has been some considerable discussion as to opening the membership to both men and women and an increasing group of members are looking hopefully toward an amendment of the By-Laws which will make the women of the University eligible. The story of the organization of the Club dates from December 15, 1921, when Mr. Walter P. Cooke, Chairman of the Council of the University and now a mem- �THE ALUMNI NEWS OF UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO ber of the Dawes Reparation Commission, invited one hundred members and officers of the University to a dinner which he aave at the Buffalo Club. The invitationstated '"to discuss matters of importance to the Alumni." A report from a Committee of leading Alumni was presented to the effect than an Alumni Clut was needed to unify and vitalize Alumni sentiment among the graduates of the University and offered the suggestion that a club founded by the Alumni and properly housed would be a powerful factor in promoting and extending the influence of the Alumni. The meeting discussed the impossibility of building and financing a new club house, the slow progress of a club housed in rented dwelling centrally located in the best residence section of the city with land of sufficient si?e to permit of future development. A committee of five was appointed to pass on the feasibility of organizing an alumni club and the possible location. The Committee reported the availabilityof the North Street property now owned by the Club at a price equal to about half of its original cost to the owner, the late General Hayes. An option was secured for the purchase of the property. Dr. Grover ~Wen.de Leader Dr. Grover W. Wende accepted the Chairmanship of a Campaign Committee to secure members for the Club and a fund with which to purchase the property and appointed an Executive Committee consisting of Christopher Baldy, George G. David- 9 son, Jr., M. Burton Eshelman, Philip Becker Goetz, A. B. Lemon, Earl P. Lothrop, Albert T. Lytle, John O. McCall, John V. Maloney, W. Ray Montgomery, Henry J. Mulford, John Lord O'Brian, Leo V. Parkes, Nelson G. Russell, Edward C. Schlenker and A. P. Sy. Departmental teams for the campaign were led by the following Chairmen: Earl G. Lothrop, John O. McCall, George G. Davidson, Jr., A. B. Lemon, A. P. Sy and Philip Becker Goetz, and a campaign undertaken which lasted from February 9th, 1922, to February 18th, 1922. At the opening dinner of the campaign on February 9th, 1922, the campaign workers were addressed by Mr. Cooke, Rev. George F. Williams and Father Ahem. The workers met at luncheon on February 11th, at which Dr. Henry Mulford was Chairman and Mr. John Lord O'Brian the speaker. On February 13th George G. Davidson, Jr., was Chairman of the dinner of the workers and Dr. Charles Sumner Jones addressed the meeting. On the five succeeding days the Chairmen were Dr. W. Ray Montgomery, Philip Becker Goetz, Dr. Earl P. Lothrop, Edward C. Schlenker and A. P. Sy, and the speakers were Julian Parks, Carlos C. Alden, Daniel H. Squires, Dr. Willis G. Gergory and John V. Maloney. University Day in 1922 on Wednesday, February 22nd and Mr. Cooke, the first speaker in making the announcement regarding the success which had attended the �10 THE ALUMNI NEWS OF UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO campaign for the new Club paid tribute to Dr. Wende, the Chairman of the Committee and his co-workers. Mr. Cooke stated: "The Alumni Club is an accomplished fact. Tonight this Club comes into being. The Certificate of Incorporation has been completed and is being forwarded to the Secretary of State and the Club is preparing to acquire title to its club house within the next fortnight. This magnificent property with its two and one-quarter acres of land comes into the possession of the Alumni as one of the most imposing of Buffalo's dwellings. It is the hope of those in charge of the Club plans that the opening of the house and grounds may be set for Commencement Week and that some of the social features of our June Commencement may take place on the Club property." Mr. Cooke's prophecy was carried out and the Club has provided a meeting place for many of the Faculty and Alumni groups of the University, of the delegates at the inauguration of Chancellor Capen, and has been the scene of many delightful entertainments and garden parties of alumni and undergraduates, as well as a place where the alumni of the various departments have met and become acquainted with each other. In the opinion of Chancellor Capen the Club and its properties have an extremely important place in the growth and development of the University. Five years of the Club's history have proved that the difficult period in the history of all new organizations has been met and passed and the main Club problem is to extend its usefulness to the younger groups of the university and among the new members of the university faculty who have come to Buffalo from other institutions. The Club has in hand plans for bringing itself more directly to the notice of these important groups and it is possible that with an expanded membership the present moderate dues may be even substantially lowered so that the cost of Club membership can be no barrier to any alumnus who wishes to join. —A.

Norton made the University of Buffalo the ultimate heir of his whole estate. But pending the time when the bulk of his fortune is to come to the University he left a fund to cover the annual award of a medal to be known as the Chancellor's Medal. He directed that the medal should be presented on University Day to some citizen of Buffalo who has rendered distinguished service to this community. In a letter accompanying his will he gave the following explanation of his intention: "The purpose of the clause in my will relating to the Chancellor's Medal is to personify civic patriotism and vivify public service in the eyes of the citizens of Buffalo. I ask the Council of the University to award it each year on Washington's Birthday at the University exercises to some citizen who has performed some great thing which is identified with Buffalo. It may be a great civic or political act, a great book, a great work of art, a great scientific achievement, or any other thing which in itself is truly great and ennobling and which dignifies the performer and Buffalo in the eyes of the world. By Buffalo I mean not only the city of Buffalo as it is circumscribed by its city limits, but also the greater Buffalo of its environing neighborhood to which the city's moral, intellectual, educational and business influence extends. The deed for which the medal is given need not have been performed within the year immediately preceding the time of awarding the decoration. The medal may be awarded to a man, woman or child." The Council of the University secured as the designer of the medal, Dr. R. Tait McKenzie, probably the leading medalist in the United States and one of the leading exponents of this form of sculpture in the world. The medal as designed by Dr. McKenzie is a singularly beautiful work of art. On the obverse it bears a portrait of Chancellor Norton, the seal of the University and an inscription. On the reverse a graceful design ofpalms encloses another inscription and the name of the recipient. The medal is awarded by the Council of the University. The Council has each year appointed a small committee to canvass the possible recipients and to make a nomina- 1 �THE ALUMNI NEWS OF UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 12 tion. There are no rules other than thoss implied in Mr. Norton's letter quoted above. The medal has been awarded twice. On February 22nd, 1925, it was awarded to the Right Reverend Charles Henry Brent, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Western New York. On February 22nd, 1926, it was awarded to Walter Platte Cooke, Chairman of the Arbitral Tribunal of Interpretation under the Dawes Plan. —Samuel P. Capen. TRUSTEES MEET A meeting of the Trustees of the Alumni Association was held at the Alumni Clubhouse Saturday evening, December 11th, 1926. The meeting was celled primarily tor the purpose of electing an Executive Committee and Association Officers for the year 1927. The election resulted as fol- : lows The matter of Alumni participation in the University Day (Februay 22nd) celebration was discussed and it was finally decided that a definite date during the Commencement Week should be set aside and designated as Alumni Day. The day's activities should include a formal dinner to which should be invited the Chancellor and other prominent speakers. The purpose of such dinner would h primarily to provide an opportunity for personal contact between faculty, alumni and administrative officers of the university. The program for the day is to be planned and executed by the Executive Committee. The Secretary was directed to co-operate with the Seniors in planning the Annual Senior Ball to be held at the Statler Hotel on the evening of University Day, February 22nd. ALUMNI TREASURER'S REPORT The treasurer of the Alumni Association for the period of November 16th, 1925, to December 22nd, 1926, shows by his report that he received from Morey Bartholomew, the preceding treasurer, $57.31, and unpaid bills for a much larger sum. This was no fault of Morey s. During the past year receipts totalled $3,147.31; expenditures, $2,689.05. A balance of $458.26 was turned over by Irving R. Templeton, treasurer, to Dr. A. B. Lemon, the newly elected treasurer for 1927. All bills had been paid. The total receipts for 1926 were over five times greater than in any preceding year. About $1,400 was received and spent on the last Alumni ball held at the Statler Hotel and attended by over 600 people. It was the largest attended alumni function ever held on Washington's birthday, or University Day. DR. R. W. BOYNTON President, R. W. Boynton, M. A., D. D.; Vice-President, D. C. McKenney, M.

CAMPUS COMMENT The members of the Twentieth Century Club heard how the University of Buffalo has bsen developed in the last five years, when the Chancellor and several members of the faculty spoke at the reception given by the Club to the members of the University faculty on Monday evening, December Bth. The faculty deserves a reception once in a while. �THE ALUMNI NEWS OF CAMPUS COMMENT (Continued) Miss Elizabeth Slater represented the University at the annual state convention of the League of Women Voters which was held in Syracuse recently. At the second annual congress of the National Student Federation of the United States,held at the University of Michigan, December 2, 3, 4, Miss Charlotte McAleer and Mr. John Allen represented the University.

The subiect: Resolved, That the Eighteenth Amendment Should Be Repealed. The University of Buffalo upheld the affirmative and St. Lawrence the negative. Buffalo won. The Buffalo team was composed of Rowena Block, captain; H. Elizabeth Slater, and Clarice Sparburg, with Janet MacDonald as alternate. The team is composed of new members except for Miss Block, one of last year's winners. On December 11th, men's debate teams from the same colleges contested and Buffalo won the affirmative. UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 13 The guests of the class were Dean Daniel J Squires, Miss Dieckman, Drs. Humphrey, Lathrop and Youngburg, and Mr. Howard Dennee, who, together with the boys, enjoyed the speeches and songs, interrupted and accompanied by a five-piece jazz band. J. Dempsey, clever and witty, made a successful toastmaster. M. Roberts and the committee, Doty, Fried, Gallagher, Gleason and Unger, won much deserved credit for the success of the affair. 1921 GRADUATES —ATTENTION Perhaps you were oneof the 1921 seniors who contributed to a fund organized by Norman Burritt, of the School of Medicine, for the purpose of erecting a mem orial gateway to the new campus. Following the solicitation of the 1921 seniors it was found that the plan to erect a gateway was impracticable because of its cost. Dr. Norman Burritt has been holdin« the $200.00 he collected until some decision might be made relative to its disposition. No solution to that problem has yet presented itself. As a contributor to that fund, what would you think of turning it over to the Alumni Association, to be used toward The University of Buffalo chess team furnishing the Association office?

Murphy selected Hart two years ago for appointment as a deputy. DR. H. U. WILLIAMS HONORED The Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science was held in Philadelphia last month and was made up of large numbers of section meetings. Its papers were reported by Dr. Slosson representing Science Service and sent to newspapers throughout the United States. On December 28th, Professor Herbert U. Williams of the Medical Faculty of the University of Buffalo, read a paper before the Section on Anthropology which Dr. Slosson selected out of a large number and reported that day. The following is the item which we quote from "Science Service " and which was published in the Buffalo Evening News of December 29th, among other papers: "Dissection and microscopic study of two Peruvian mummies dating back to about 700 A. D. revealed examples of red blood corpuscles, quite fragile structures to have survived so long a time, it was reported by Dr. Herbert U. Williams of the University of Buffalo before the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Dr. Williams also found that by dissection arteries, nerves, muscles and tendons could be readily identified. His findings, he stated, indicate that much could be done by study of such mummies to determine the diseases of early American races, especially diseases of the chest and abdomen." With less than three minutes left to play, Captain Len Brizdle caged the ball for 2 points, and then for 2 foul shots, which put U. B. up in front. The final score was 23 to 20. From the first whistle to the last, it was anybody's game. In truth, both teams played hard, fast, clean basketball, the score shifting frequently. Buffalo was first to score on Bass's goal "from the field. Then the Ithacans came back, when Cobb chalked up a field goal and a foul shot. The game waxed hotter and hotter until the end of the first half, when the Bisons left the floor on the long end of a 9 to 7 score. In this half Bobby Harrington was one of the shining lights. Around him our team's play centered, as he kept the locals driving all the time. He registered a field goal and 3 out of 3 four shots in this half. In the second half, the game speeded up, with the lead changing hands several times. The entire Buffalo team played well. Hy. Bass, the smallest man on the Buffalo five, counted up 5 points to his name. Stoesser played a very fast game, being a main cog in the passing wheel as well as a strong man on the defense.

Laidlaw is a new member of the faculty of the School of Law. He is a full time instructor, teaching Contracts, Agency, Quasi-Contracts, Partnership, Negotiable Instruments, and Bailments. Mr. Laidlaw was born at Ellicottville, Cattaraugus County, New York, on April 24, 1900. After graduating from Ellicottville High School, he entered Cornell University, taking the combined Arts-Law course, and receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1922 and the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1924. He was an Associate Student Editor of the Cornell Law Quarterly while in the Cornell Law School, and was the Book Review Editor of the Quarterly for the academic year 19231924. He was admit' ted to the bar May 20, 1925, and practiced law at Ellicottville, N. V., with his father, Archibald M. Laidlaw. until the death of the latter, May 24, 1926. He was Instructor in Constitutional Law at the Alfred University Summer School, Alfred, N. V.. in the summer of 1926. Mr. Laidlaw's grandfather, William G. Laidlaw, was admitted to the bar in 1871 and he practiced law in Ellicottville. He was District Attorney of Cattaraugus County for two terms and later served two terms in the House of Representatives. Mr. Laidlaw's father was admitted to the bar in 1900 and practiced law with his father in the firm of W. G. S" A. M. Laidlaw until the death of William G. Laidlaw in 1908. A. M. Laidlaw was the District Attorney of Cattaraugus County from January, 1914, until his death in 1926.

Weed, its president, was formed with the principal objects of having an organization which would keep the Alumni of the Medical School and especially those residing outside of Buffalo informed as well as possible of the activities of the Medical School, its growth and general progress, and to endeavor to maintain a cordial spirit of co-operationbetween the Alumni and the active school. During commencement week the Alumni Association has for many years provided a program of both entertainment and instruction which has attracted many members of our Alumni who are living in various and remote parts of the country. This program aids in bringing hundreds of graduates back to the scenes and associations of their early training and are of great value in disseminating a spirit of harmony and co-operation throughout the graduate body. In addition to these broad and rather general aims, the Association has been of material benefit to the Medical School in various ways, the most outstanding of which was die undertaking in 1918 to raise a fund of $150,000.00 among the Alumni for the purpose of building a new laboratory and reconstructing the existing laboratories. This fund was considerably oversubscribed and approximately $250,000.00 was raised and used in the development of the laboratories. This has been of inestimable value to the Medical School and has contributed very largely in the raising of 'the standards of the University and has helped to make possible the classification of our Medical School as one of the leading Grade A Medical Schools of the country. As to the future and what the Association hopes to accomplish, the chief aim is still and will continue to be the promotion of University and Alumni spirit of harmony and co-operation among the graduates of the institution and to be of material aid to the Medical School whenever it is possible to do so. �' THE ALUMNI NEWS OF UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 24 DEATHS II The Supreme Authority j Dr. Arthur J.

In accordance with the custom of universities, the twenty-five year class, which was graduated in 1902, will have the most conspicuous part in the ceremonies; and the classes of 1922, 1917, 1912, 1907, 1897 and so on back at five year intervals will be asked to make a special effort to attend this year. It is also hoped that, in establishing an event which should be of great value to the university and of increasing interest to the alumni, many graduates of all classes will make the effort to attend this year and give this important occasion a good start.

An alumni office has been established with Dr. A. B. Lemon as its very efficient secretary. Through the splendid efforts of Dr. Boynton, re-elected president, the alumni secretary and board of trustees, a real foundation has been laid for bigger and better things. In the present college year The Alumni Hews has been started, a series of radio talks given by leaders of the University, and data is being collected for an alumni directory. One of the best of all features is the planning of the first big general alumni day for the afternoon of June 7. Alumni exercises on commencement day June 7th have been planned to bring the graduates of all the divisions together for social reunion, to inform them as to the progress of the Uni' versity, and to increase their pride and interest in the institution. attendance this year.

In the same issue appeared an editorial which raised the question as to what was amiss with football at Buffalo. Is it the student body, the faculty, the coach or the graduate manager who is at fault? With whom does the responsibility lie for the unenviable record that the university has made on the gridiron? To what causal factors are we to turn to effect a change in the situation? Such were the questions upon which alumni were invited to express their views, and so the writer makes bold to venture some parts of the picture as he sees it. Now to attempt an analysis of the athletic situation in an effort to trace causal factors and place blame or responsibility for the university's miserable showing is to rush in where wise men fear to tread. Those who attempted to assay World War guilt ran aground on the problem of multiple causation, with the result that many now believe any guilty nation theory a myth. And it is interesting to note that the social sciences after the example of the natural sciences are beginning to dispense with the notion of causation altogether. Added to this is the fact that with the growth of doctrines of determinism we no longer attempt to place blame of responsibility as was once the fashion in the good old days. So it is with -caution that one proceeds at all to venture suggesions in a situation where the variables are so many and the constants so few. In fact, the only constant emerging is the consistency of our defeats. Let us consider then as judiciously as possible some of the factors which the Alumni Kiews mentioned as being involved in the present athletic situation. In the first place, let us inquire, where alumni invariably seek first, into the coaching. Has the coaching been seriously at fault. The writer vividly recalls that when he was in college and Jim Bond failed to achieve his prediction of a successful season, he was sure that Bond had hopelessly bungled things, that the trouble was with Bond, and that the sooner Bond got out the better. Other students before him had thought the same of Art Powell and Dim Batterson. Some may feel that way now about Russ Carrick. That this attempt to fix responsibility upon the coaching is at best a gratuitous assumption most of us will now concede. All of these men were successful until they struck Buffalo. Bond was undoubtedly the biggest disappointment because he was heralded the loudest, given to the vainest boastings, paid the highest""salary and knew the least about coaching and handling men. Nevertheless" it is unfair to hold the coaching responsible for our athleticrecord. Russ Carrick,the present coach, is about all one could desire. He knows football, can teach as well as coach it, commands respect (Continued on page 7) 5 DENTAL ALUMNI Dr. Edward F.

DENTAL ALUMNI DAY This year the annual meeting of the New York State Dental Society will take place at Buffalo,May 18, 19 and 20. In view of this fact, the officers of the U. B. Dental Alumni Association have considered it quite impracticable to hold the regular annual three day neeting of their association, so it has been decided to combine the efforts of the two organizations into one large meeting. The last day of the meeting, May 20th, will be devoted to University of Buffalo Alumni activities. The morning of this day will be given over to the reading and discussion of a paper, the title of which will be announced later. At noon there will take place an alumni luncheon at the Statler,at which there will be reunions of the classes of 4597, 1907, 1917 and 1922. This luncheon is planned to take the place of the crtetomary alumni dinner. Of course, the usual entettainment will be featured At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the activities will center at the Dental School building, where a- program of surgical clinics has been arranged. VICTOR HUGO JACKSON Dr. Victor Hugo Jackson of New York City, Emeritus Professor of Orthodontia, who in 1920, by his generosity, made possible the surgical clinic which bears his name at the Dental School, has donated an additional -one thousand dollars to be used for new equipment. In order to show appreciation for what Dr. Jackson has done for the Dental School,it has �6 THE ALUMNI NEWS OF UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO been decided that the last day of the New York State Dental Meeting, which will be devoted to University of Buffalo Alumni activities, shall be known as Jackson Day. It is planned on this day to honor the man who has so fittingly demonstrated his interest in the University of Buffalo. The program for the afternoon of this day, May 20th, will be featured by surgical clinics to be held at the Jackson Clinic in the Dental School. BASKETBALL HISTORY REVIEW By Jimmy Ailinger Basketball at the University of Buffalo since it made its first appearance as an organized sport has been the oasis on U. B.s athletic desert. Prior to 1915 there had been no official basketball team representing the University as a whole. Attempts had been made to develop teams in various departments but this proved an idle undertaking because of lack of proper coaching and organization. In 1915 "the powers that be" decided that basketball should be added to our athletic program. U. B.s fame was assured when Arthur Powell was signed as coach. Since his advent Powell has been responsible for the many successful seasons and U. B.s enviable position among the leaders of the intercollegiate basketball world. THE MEDICAL ALUMNI Dr. Allen A. Jones, Professor of Medicine, presented a paper on "Coronary Thrombosis" at the American College of Physicians at the meeting held in Cleveland February 21-25. Dr. Jones is a member of the Am. C. P.

And one familiar with the situation must admit that the students have neither gone out for the team in sufficient numbers nor supported those who did go out. There has always been a certain number of men at the university with football experience who have failed to respond to any appeal to join the squad. (Night practice with all its hardships has been partly responsible, of course.) And the attendance at games has shown an indifference on the part of the student body that does not make for winning teams. But if we push our inquiry a bit further back, it becomes apparent that we cannot in all fairness throw everything upon the students. An urban university whose students live at home rarely has the spirit of a college where the students live in dormitories or fraternity houses on or about the campus. Colgate with one sixth the enrollment of Syracuse comes down to Syracuse and outcheeers Syracuse in its own stadium year after year. Students at the Uni- versity of Buffalo give only partial allegiance to the university, for there are too many outside competing interests that naturally flow from their living at home. Moreover, the Arts College has been the latest addition to the university and so the professional schools have formed the backbone of university athletic teams. Naturally the men in the professional schools are too completely occupied with more serious things to throw themselves into athletics with the same abandon that a younger and less busy group of Arts College students at other institutions do. These conditions have made for a situation where student mores and traditions have not really favored university activities. Perhaps more important still,, they have become solidified into a cake of custom so that whatever changes in conditions have attended the growth of the university, the stereotyped traditions of indifference and defeatism still persist. Two pre- dictions may, therefore,be hazarded: first, that athletic success will wait upon the development of the Arts College, and second, that so long as the university remains primarily a day school, athletic prestige will remain a day dream. Faculty members who feel that with passing of veneration /or scholarship their functions are no longer fully appreciated might be a bit surprised by the tremendous influence students attribute to them. They are given credit in no uncertain terms for about everything that goes wrong in the university. If examinations are difficult, it is the instructor's fault; if the dramatic society runs up a deficit, the professors are to blame; if the football team loses every game, the faculty are responsible because they didn't support the team. Now, there is some reason for the eternal criticism and fault finding with faculty members. Teaching school in some cases seems to make for pedantry and self-complacency and students are justified on occasion in taking their professors for a ride. And it is true that there have been instructors, especially in the professional schools, who have not shown the whole-hearted interest in athletics that the students claim should be set before them as an example. Nevertheless, to say that the record of the football team should be attributed to the faculty is to close one eye and shut both ears to the facts of the matter. There remains for consideration the place of the graduate manager in our little picture. Time was when the writer would have used a large brush for this particular part of the canvas as well as colors of outstanding hue and brightness, for he never fully appreciated that gentleman's finer points nor saw the necessity for expressing that appreciation in a material way. And it may still be maintained that the graduate manager has shown little perspicacity in his arrangement of schedules, his failure to consult his coaches in this matter being not altogether above criticism. To take a team into the wilds of West Virginia for the worst massacre of a season at the hands of unknown Davis-Elkins (whose coach made little bones about the size of his pay roll) is hardly the part of wisdom. In all justice to the graduate manager, however, it should be recognized that Buffalo's athletic misfortunes began before his arrival upon the scene and cannot be visited upon his head. Thus a sketchy resume of some of the factors involved helps tell parts of the story, but the writer would call attention to just one more point and he is done. And that point he regards as the most essential. Briefly, it amounts to this: Football in American colleges has become a highly professionalized and a highly institutionalized affair. It is no longer a spontaneous matter of friendly competition between rivals of amateur standing. It is a deliberately planned institution with a high degree of organization and a higher degree of commercialization. It has become a business. And an American university today is merely an adjunct to a huge ftadium, an enormous gymnasium, and an elaborate athletic office—in the words of Dr. Boynton's Chinaman,"a large athletic club with facilities for study for the feeble-bodied." Instead of a single coach, we have whole coaching staffs for both varsity and freshmen teams. To foot the bill huge crowds must fill the stadium and to draw the crowds a performance of unusual merit must be staged. To insure the merit of the performance the athletic administration makes sure that there will be plenty of star performers on hand. They make sure of it by going out and buying them up before they have even graduated from prep school or high school. They pay their tuition and in many cases all of their living expenses besides. Now where does Buffalo,and the schools she annually plays, stand in this scheme of things? Buffalo, thanks to Chancellor Capen, is among the few institutions where this Leviathan of an athletic superstructure has not been developed. The university neither buys players nor permits the hiring of them under some more or less 7 �8 THE ALUMNI NEWS OF UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO obvious subterfuge. But, it will be objected, However, this team won the majority of games, defeating Georgetown, Rochester and Niagara. her rivals are not institutions with highly prosome our opfessionalized athletics; they are colleges in her Compare this, if you will, with ponents having twenty-five to one hundred men own class. In a certain sense they are; that is why Buffalo can hold them to a touchdown or report for initial practice. One school in particular had more high school captains report two and occasionally win a game. They are trying to do, however, on a smaller scale, what than the number of men reporting to Powell. The first year of organization a small group larger institutions have done on a greater scale. And their ability to beat Buffalo is almost in practiced at the Turn Verein. This team of 1915-1916, which was captained by Eddie Burns, direct proportion to the extent of their proof the fessionalization.

The season of '24-25 introduced another difficult schedule. Buffalo lost to Cornell by 2 points in a hard battle, Colgate, R. P. 1., Davis Elkins and Rochester. They completely upset the "dope," however, by defeating the champion, St. Lawrence, by a 33-14 score. As was the usual case, Captain Ferris was the only veteran, the new men being Brint, Brizdle, Berlove and Mayer. We all recall Art's crack team of '25-26. The victories over Princeton, Cornell,Colgate, R. P. I. and Niagara were the result of a great combination. Even the two defeats to the "Syracuse Wonder Team" were a credit to our team, as we afforded them more opposition than they encountered all year. They were heart-breaking affairs,both games being extremely close. Buffalo's victories were snuffed out in the last minute of play in each case. Harrington, Brint and Captain Ferris, forwards; Brisdle, center; Berlove and Manguso, guards. The past season's record stands out admirably, the team winning 11 and losing 4 games.

But this was nothing new to Art, who has become hardened after eleven years of similar experiences. Every rooter at the Perm State game experienced a "thrill of a lifetime."

Russell Carrick of this city has been chosen again by the Athletic Council to coach the U. B. Varsity football team. Coach Carrick attended School 36, played on the basketball team and captained the relay team. Later he attended Lafayette High and was active in swimming, baseball, track and football. He captained the relay and football teams in 1909. At the same time he was captain of the 74th Regiment relay team, which at one time held the record. At Colgate he was active in track and football during his four-year course. His first coaching was at Norwich High School and all the games were won. In 1914 he coached Lafayette High to the local championship and Harvard Cup. Willis Hickman later engaged him to assist in preparing U. B. for the Canisius game, which was won by U. B. He played professional football one season in Ohio, and in 1915 or 1916 won the all-around swimming title at the Buffalo Launch Club. �10 THE ALUMNI NEWS OF UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO FACULTY RESEARCH WORK John T. Horton, B. A. '26, Campus Editor Among the many interesting labors to be noted is that of Dr. Niles Carpenter, resulting in an official monograph upon the United States Census, entitled "Immigrants and Their Children." This work takes up the size and composition of the immigrant population and classifies it according to age, sex, nationality and mother-tongue; studies the distribution of the immigrants and their children and by the aid of correlation maps and tables arrives at certain interesting generalizations concerning the tendencies which underlie the distribution of the immigrant population. Dr. Carpenter, having taken the whole city as his laboratory, has conducted investigations into many and various phases of our life. In December, 1926, he read before the Research Section of the American Sociological Society a paper, upon the Research Resources of a Typical American City as exemplified by the city of Buffalo; and with Miss Mazie Wagner has published an Social Forces, September, 1926, an article entitled The Relation of Rationality and Religion; to Income of Women Clerical Wor\ers in the City of Buffalo. As Buffalo ranks as one of the first Polish cities of the world, it is interesting to note that Dr. Carpenter, in collaboration with Mr. Daniel Katz, of the class of 1925, has conducted a study of the Polish population entitled The Adjustment of the Polish Immigrant Family to American Conditions, and presently to be published under the auspices of the Laura Spellman Rockerfeller Fund. The inexpressible question whether the immigrant population lends itself to Americanizfinds in that piece of research an ing influences, interesting and emphatic answer. Mr. Leslie White, who comes to the University in this present semester, studies the aboriginal American in his habitat as he lives, observing especially Indians of the ancient Pueblo of Acoma in New Mexico. This Pueblo village is perhaps the oldest village in the United States. This work upon which Mr. White is now engaged, an "Ethnological Survey of Acoma," together with numerous articles, and especially his An Anthropological Approach to the Emotional Factor in Religion, published September, 1926, in the Journal of Philosophy, maintain the reputation for sound learning and deep scholarship already established by the still recent Department of Sociology. Turning to other fields of science, we find productive scholarship unflagging still. In the Harvard Business Review for January, 1927, we read Professor Epstein's Rise and Fall of Firms in the Automobile Industry; in a late number of the Journal of Applied Psychology, Dr. Edward Jones' Opinions of College Students. Dr. Thurber devotes a volume to the Financial Support of the Public School. Dr. Chambers, after repeated visits to Mexico, one to A History of Transportation in Mexico, and an article on The Influence of Mexican Geography Upon the Railroad Ret. Dr. William Irons, in Chemistry and Industry, July, 1926, an article, Electro-Chemical Methods of Analysis; for publication in May of this year, Dr. Riegel has an article upon The Zone Pattern for Silver Dichromate in Solid Gelatine Gels;Mr. Lawton busies himself with a Reiu Synthesis of r- pirolive Oxidation of the Unsaturated Esters. Mr. Gregory is at work upon the problem of twodimensional flow; Mr. Munshower upon Mathematical Philosophy; Dr. Pound upon Line Integrals and the Application of Vector Analysis to Physical Problems in Mechanics, Heat and Electricity and Magnetism. A work somewhat less formidably technical than these, and one published just at the beginning of the year, is Dr. Hector's Principles of Modern Radio Receiving, a stocky volume of nearly three hundred pages, setting forth the theory of that most mysterious and mystifying of the late inventions. From lift and drag, from Wechselstrom and from the symbols of Russel and Whithead, to flies and guinea pigs is a lengthy leap and one that requires what Dawden would call an athletic imagination, yet it is one which our developing faculty now takes with ease. During the past year, Dr. William Dolley has been working on two major problems, the physiological effect of intermittent light and the artificial cultivation of the Drone Fly, Eristalis tenax. The experimental work on the first of these problems was done during the past summer at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Mass. The results obtained at this time were presented in a paper before the American Society of Zoologists at their annual meeting in Philadelphia, December 28, 1926. As for Eristalis tenax. Dr. Dolley, in collaboration with Professor S. O. Mast of Johns Hopkins, has already published a series of papers, describing the reactions of the Drone Fly to Light—the series appearing in the American Journal of Physiology. Dr. Dolley's work upon the stimulating efficiency of intermittent light is published in the Anatomical Record, Vol. 3, No. 3, pp. 119. But it must not be supposed that the ancient liberal studies are neglected at the University and that in the glow of enthusiasm for science the faculty are grown cold towardthe humanities. Humane letters must always form part of true scholarship. And these studies are still cultivated with enthusiasm. For example, in Modern Language Rotes, February, 1927, Professor Gifford publishes A Rote on Rabelais; before the Italian Section of die Modern Language Association of America, in December, 1925, Dr. Rice reads a paper on Thei Bestiary of Cecco d'Ascoli's "Acerba" considered as a "Bestiare d'Amour," Cecco d'Ascoli being a contemporary of Dante. The paper is a description of fourteenth and fifteenth century manuscripts of a work by d'Ascoli discovered during the last summer by Dr. Rice in the Bodelian library and in the library of the Taylorian Institution at Oxford. In the Southwest Retrieto, January, 1927, Professor Perry publishes The Tennyson Tragedy and has in preparation a work upon the comic element in drama, ranging over the field from (Continued on page 13) �THE ALUMNI NEWS OF UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Published four times a year by The Alumn£ Association of the University of Buffalo.

Apparently some good healthful reaction has resulted in several directions. Some have asked us to answer our own questions as set forth in the last issue. We do so. We believe it would be a sorry mistake to abolish football here. Our university has been unfortunate in having Arts college as its youngest division instead of its oldest. One result is a sad lack of college tradition and college spirit. This in no mean measure accounts for our football failures for some years past. Our hope for the future is in the Arts student body. The professional schools have carried the burden longer than they should. From Arts college must be recruited the elevens of the future. The Arts eds and co-eds also must be such a bunch of boosters as will back the Varsity as loyally in defeat as in victory. Leaders should organize a movement to put across this twofold program of getting out all the available men in the university, and of boosting for them from the first practice to the last whistle sound of the football season. It is up to the 1927-28 upperclassmen of Arts from Moving Up Day on. There are other factors of importance. It is fortunate that football is to be continued under such an able coach as "Russ" Carrick. For a coach who is one of the poorest paid of the universities of our size, he has put more heart interest and hard work in his task than most high priced men would in a like situation. It is hoped by those who know conditions that the coach* and the students will have more co-operation in the future than in the past from the manager of athletics, the Council athletic committee and the Athletic Council. Some day, in a few more years, U. of B. will have an active, efficient graduate manager in fact as well as in name, who will understand college life and college athletics from the ground up. Meantime, it is expected that things will improve. That the Athletic Council will be more than the rubber stamp it has been for several years past for the so-called higher authorities. That the treasurer of the university will keep out of athletics at least as a political field to further his policies. That we may have a new freshman team coach, whoknows how to coach as well as play football, who knows how to discipline a team as well as to exercise real selfcontrol. Otherwise the Varsity coach has the added job of teaching good material all over again in the elements of real football. But we are on the way. We feel that in another three to five years we shall have forgotten we ever had such a poor record in our real major sport—football. �12 THE ALUMNI NEWS OF UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO — Erie County District Attorney Quy B. Moore Guy B. Moore, District Attorney of Erie County, is one of the foremost prosecuting officers in the country. Possessed of a keen intellect, exceptional executive and legal ability, and an uncanny knack for getting at the heart of matters without delay or confusion,he has gained for himself an outstanding position in the legal profession of the State of New York. He is a public speaker of high order, possessing a clear, forceful, analytical mind. In the office and on the rostrum he has taken a foremost position in advocating strict and impartial enforcement of the law of the state and nation. Mr. Moore is possessed of a magnetic personality and by this he has made friends and held friendships permanently among people of all classes. Born September 3, 1873, in Washington, D. C, he obtained his preliminary training in the Central High School,where he captured the Jesse Ketchum Medal. In 1893 he was graduated from Philips Academy at Andover, Mass. In 1896 he was graduated "from the University of Buffalo Law School with the degree of LL. 8., winning the Daniels first prise for the best thesis. For a number of years he held the position of First Assistant District Attorney of Erie County. In 1916 he ran for the district attorneyship and was elected by a tremendous vote. He was re-elected to this office in 1919, 1922 and 1925. During the time that he has been serving as District Attorney, he has tried many cases of state-wide and nation-wide significance, with uniform success. Mr. Moore is past master of Queen City Lodge No. 358, F. 6? A. M., past grand of Crescent Lodge No. 558, I. O. O. F., member of Buffalo Lodge No. 23, B. P. O. E., and of various other clubs and organizations. He is also a member of the American Bar Association and the New York State Bar Association. U. S. District Attorney—Richard H. Templeton Richard H. Templeton was born on LexingAvenue, Buffalo,about 48 years ago, and always has lived in this city. He attended School 16 and graduated with honor, winning ton the Jesse Ketchum medal. Four years later he was graduated from Old Central High School. During that period he was one of a group of the leading debaters in his class. He took his Arts college course at Syracuse University, being graduated in 1899. During his junior and senior years he was manager ot the Musical Clubs. He also made a record as a debater. The fall following he entered the 1901 law class at U. of 8., and secured his professional training. He joined the 74th Regiment at the same time and served fifteen years with a splendid record, rising by real work through the ranks from private to be a major, the rank he held when he resigned at the end of fifteen years. He was organizer and general manager in the last few years of a short campaign which increased the number of men from 800 to 1,200 in the regiment. Very few men, other than paid men, have done as much splendid work for the University of Buffalo as he has. He was one of the few who labored so hard and successfully over a period of years to get the county to give the present Arts campus site of 90 acres. He was secretary of the University Club committee that was so instrumental in making the real start for greater university. He conceived the idea of having a uniform style of architecture for all the buildings. If the original plans had been �THE ALUMNI NEWS OF UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO worked out the first building erected would have been a pride and not the factory-like appearing structure it has so often been called.

By experience he is well qualified for the position. He has served in both branches of the Legislature, and on each occasion was a member of the important appropriations committee. For twenty years he has been an official of a bank and is familiar with banking methods. Having been trained in this way, Mr. Owen enters upon the discharge of the duties of state treasurer with a background which will enable him to render most valuable service.

Glee and Mandolin Clubs flourished until 1907. These two enthusiasts, both of whom are now leading citizens, for six years piloted the musical clubs with success. Each year they present one Grand U. B. Concert and Ball and several public concerts. It is to this team that we owe our gratitude for our present Alma Mater song written in 1903. Music a Lost Art From 1907 to 1913 music seemed to be a lost art as far as the University of Buffalo was concerned. In 1913 A. Bert Lemon, a student in the Pharmacy Department, attempted to revive the Glee Club. Mr. Abbott of the Department of Education loaned his services. Little was accomplished. Again in 1916 Seth Clark was pressed into service but the students were too indifferent toward the project to make it a success. This lack of interest continued until 1919 when Dr. Lemon, still on the warpath, captured the interest of Richard Durrett, a war-time song leader in the Y. M. C. A. service. Through constant effort, after much hard work and not a little discouragement, Mr. Durrett finally assembled a Glee Club and Orchestra and presented them in Hospital, J. N. Adam Memorial Hospital, University Presbyterian Church, Mt. St. Joseph's Academy, Salamanca High School, Auburn High School, Geneva High School and the Annual Home Concert at the Hotel Statler.

Mohawk St. MENTION THE ALUMNI NEWS �UNIVERSITY of BUFFALO Alumni News OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO — Editor William G. Cook, '27 Business Manager—Edward J. Carroll October 1, 1927 Volume II Event and Comment .... In fitting honor „ „ , to the name,s 0* one of the Memorial most active and generous friends," stands the structure now known as Edmund Hayes hall. General Edmund Hayes, whose munificent gifts, amounting to $250,000, form only a small part of his aid to the institution, was a leading character in his community, as well as a man of recognized ability. A graduate of the Massachusetts ~ A Living Institute of Technology, he served on the staff of General E. B. Jewett as engineer with the rank of major, and on General L. P. Morton's staff as chief of engineers with rank of brigadier-general. He was director and vice president of the Niagara Construction company, second director of the Laekawanna Steel company, Stony Point Land company, South Buffalo Railway company, Buffalo Bolt company, Marine National bank, and the Ontario Power company. Not least of all his connections were the years he spent as a member of the council of the university. " " " It is rare stuff, this vision. Of the feW Wh° haVe lt; not many put it to much use. But those who can translate a dream into bricks and mortar, are blessed of the gods. Such a man is Chancellor Samuel Paul Capen. Now that it is done, it is plain that he had the present School of Business Adminth iw IViriln Number 1. wm, istration in mind when he brought about the establishment of the Evening session four years ago. By selling the university to the business world through its evening school, a growing demand for day courses in business and allied subjects was created. The chancellor also demonstrated his vision in picking the man to direct the Evening session, Dean Clarence S. Marsh. He has conducted his department like a big business, and has made it the best advertisement the university has in the community. It is well that he is retaining his grip on the Evening session, while administering the affairs of the new day school. ■ ♦ The New Alumni Constitution * * The original constitution of the Federated Alumni assoeiatiOn was adopted in 1914 and amended February 22, 1916. With the re-organization in the spring of 1926, a new constitution was designed and after careful study by the House of Delegates, adopted, February 6, 1926. The outstanding changes are these: Article Three (b) provides for admission to membership in the Alumni association of former students who have completed a minimum of 12 semester hours in the University of Buffalo. Article Four stipulates an entire change in the method of organizing the governing body formerly called the House of Delegates. Previously the �University of Buffalo 6 governing board consisted of the deans of the several schools and the college, the presidents of the divisional Alumni associations, and one delegate appointed from each association appointed by its president. Article Five provides for annual dues of $2 including membership in the association and a year's subscription to the Alumni News. and has taught in old Central and Lafayette High schools, and in the Nichols school. He is also a poet with several published works to his credit, and has made some contributions to the field of music. Judge Harris sits on the Supreme court bench for the eighth judicial district.

Cook, '27, and wishes him the splendid success he deserves. He congratulates the Alumni on securing such an experienced, capable and enthusiastic Alumnus. He hopes the Alumni will give the necessary support in subscriptions and news to make the Alumni News the real success it is bound to be with such aid. The first editor is delighted to pass on the well-worn pencil after a year's pioneer work, which he agreed to do when the Alumni trustees last October were at a loss in their search for someone to do it. It is his hope and expectation that this year the Alumni News will take its place with the best of its kind in the collegiate field, and receive such fine financial support as always to stay there. But it needs several thousand Alumni to say it with subscriptions and back it with news and views. It then without doubt will ably represent the true interests of all the Alumni and the University of Buffalo all of the time.

To him all credit is forthcoming for starting the child on its life's journey. The present editor has but to guide the urchin on a path already welldefined by his predecessor. The reader will observe, however, that the child has lost his swaddling clothes, and is now clad in a garb more in keeping with the service expected by his foster-parents, the Alumni. His very life depends on the interest which those foster-parents display in his growth and progress. HERBERT M. HILL Funeral services for Dr. Herbert M. Hill, city chemist and former professor of chemistry and toxicology in the uni- versity, were held in July. Dr. Hill had been confined to his bed for nearly a month. Dr. Hill was born at Burrs Mills, N. V., May 19, 1856, and received his education at Watertown high school and Hamilton college. Later he became connected with the United States mining geologicalsurvey in the west, and taught as professor of physics and chemistry at Cortland Normal school. He then became principal of Watertown high school. He was made professor of chemistry and toxicology in the University of Buffalo in 1889, where he remained until 1910. He is survived by his widow, Amanda Isdell, two sons and two daughters.

A., Dean of the School of Business Administration, and Dean of the Evening Session /gSfINCE business J^y claims the activities and the interests of most men and of many women after college, why not pre- pare definitely to enter business? This question has been asked and answered in many institutions. The council of the University of Buffalo answered it last spring on the recommendation of Chancellor Capen by establishing a School of Business Administration which has opened its full time courses on the campus. The program is two years in length, junior and senior years, and is open to those who have completed freshman and sophomore years in any approved college or university. It will lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. The Evening Session was the first division in DEAN CLARENCE S. MARSH the university to offer business courses.

It is the complex assembling of materials from far and wide; the skillful fabrication of these materials by hundreds or even by thousands of men within a single factory and with the aid of powerdriven machinery; and finally, the sending out of the finished product again to be distributed, through a myriad of channels, to the consumers scattered over the four corners of the earth. And so extended are the production processes, so manifold are the distributive activities, so subtle are the workings of the various financial and exchange mechanisms involved, that the very highest orders of observation, analysis and judgment are required. In fact, to analyze correctly the business situation at any given time, either in a particular trade or in industry as a ■whole, is a task to which organized knowledge, careful attention and scientific methods must be rigorously applied. The information which a business man therefore needs to have is not a narrowly vocational knowledge, but a broad understanding of the industrial system." The curriculum of the School of Business Administration of the University of Buffalo is designed to acquaint students with the basic problems of management, and train them for positions of executive responsibility. The program of study in the new school will be largely prescribed, and will include the following subjects: JUNIOR YEAR First Semester: Principles of accounting Business organization and policy ._ _ Corporation finance Marketing Business law Second Semester: _ Intermediate accounting Business organization and policy - - _..

D., Professor of Psychology of the Bureau of Personnel Research aNDER the direction of Professor Edward S. Jones, there was completed recently a "summary of theviews of many individuals livingin Buffalo and vicinity regarding the opportunities, advantages and requirements in their occupations. '' The report is intended to be used as a guide for the youth in selecting his vocation and carries some extremely convincing data. The statistical material was secured from 713 questionnaires returned by an unseleeted assortment of college graduates taken from the alumni lists of institutions of Northeastern America. The report is far superior to most studies conducted in this field since it represents the opinion of such a large group qualified through their own experience to speak on the strong and weak points of their particular vocations. The report is divided into two sections. Part One includes a general survey of the answers from 713 men, contrasting at the same time the three chief types of occupations into which most college graduates fall: First, the traditional professional occupations of medicine, law, teaching and the ministry, in which there were 231 men. Second, the engineering occupations in which group are included those engaged in industrial chemistry, totalling 153. Third, the business occupations, where 245 were grouped. Those three groups sent in nearly 90 per cent, of the replies to the questionnaires. tering the profession; value of participation in extra-curricular activities to the medical man; demand for college graduates in medicine; suggestions as to curriculum; trend of the medical profession; financial returns; personal qualities important for success in medicine, and suggested readings for prospective physicians. Each vocation is similarly treated. The data included in Part One is nicely arranged in tables, each table representing a summary of the replies received to the question heading it. Replying to the question, "Do you think it important for the best success in your occupation to have college training?" 52 per cent, favored a four-year course of the general type; 25 per cent, favored a highly specialized four-year course; 12 per cent, favored two years only of college training, and 11 per cent, made no mention of college training. "Is there now in Buffalo a distinct demand for more college men and women in your occupation?" was the next question. So far as the professions are concerned, 33 per cent, felt there is a strong demand; 13 per cent, a fair demand ; 32 per cent, stated there is a demand only for the very able; three per cent, think there is little chance even for the best, and 19 per cent, made no statement.

It was significant that more than 50 per cent, felt the selection of the professions should be made before entering the Arts college for the pre-professional training. The question, "What subjects in your college course have been of special importance in your vocation ?'' brought replies that placed the subjects in this order of importance: English, public speaking, economics, psychology, chemistry, physics, college mathematics, German, history, French, sociology, government, philosophy, Latin, physiology, geology, education and zoology. "In what subjects do you feel that your lack of training has been a handicap ?'' The order of greatest lack was: Public speaking, psychology, physics, chemistry, English, economics, philosophy, history and German. These subjects were set down in answer to the query, "What subjects do you think were of little or no value to you in your vocation ?'' Latin, German, Greek, chemistry, French, physics, botany, college mathematics, zoology, his- op Buffalo Tory, psychology, geology. The tables in each instance separate the replies of professional men, engineers and business men. "What undergraduate activities have been most helpful to you in your vocation?'' Fraternities were favored by 52 per cent., committee work 27 per cent., class athletics 25 per cent., public speaking 18 per cent., intercollegiateathletics 18per cent., honor societies 17 per cent., religious groups 16 per cent., debating 16 per cent., newspaper work 14 per cent., musical organizations 13 per cent, and dramatics 8 per cent. "What traits or qualities derived from native abilities or from early home training do you consider indispensable for success in your field ?'' Arranged in order of frequency with which they are mentioned, they are: Poise, control of temper, administrative ability, energy and vigor, optimism and kindliness, selling ability and mechanical ability. Should there be vocational guidance '' and how should it be conducted ?'' The majority favored vocational guidance as far as it can be applied intelligently. The suggested methods for pursuing it were so diverse they are not included here. A copy of this report may be secured by writing Professor Jones or the Alumni secretary.

It was on May 11, 1846 that President Polk, in his message to war the Congress, declared that ". exists exists by the act of Mexico ." It was in the state legislature that Fillmore's reputation had been made. Like other statesmen of the day, Fillmore had paid his respects to national sentiments, and with sincerity, had professed to be above sectionalism. "The country is one,'' he had said when fortifications for Boston were being discussed. "Its safety is one. It is then my duty to provide for the security of I am alike for every part of it. Boston, New York and New Orleans." But the young and ambitious trading community of Buffalo had not sent Fillmore to Washington to neglect their own considerable interests; and though hardly an enthusiastic supporter of the Bank,2 Fillmore had very naturally stood for internal improvements and for a protective tariff; and whether to advocate the improvement of the harbor of Buffalo or the adequate defense of the Niagara frontier against British agression, he had represented with ability and vigor the interests of his constituents, whilst rising capitalists everywhere would have heard with hearty approval his pronouncements upon protection and free trade. .. . .. .. op Buffalo matter any thought, the council of the University of Buffalo, in choosing him as their first chancellor, identified them- selves and their institution most fittingly with a man, who though no scientist him- self, had yet amid the strife and heat of polities, donemuch for the advancement of science, and that in the face of oppo- sition and ridicule. 4 His career had been none the less honorable that it had been begun in the backwoods.

From the comptrollership at Albany, which he had held only a few months, he went again to Washington, and on March 4, 1849, was inaugurated vice president of the United States. In little more than a year President Taylor lay dead, and from the Senate, where he had been presiding at the debutes of Clay, Calhoun and "Webster on the compromise measures, and where he had little else to do but hear those measures argued, Millard Fillmore was removed to the White House where he had to help decidethem. His was not a policy unacceptable to the majority of his countrymen, for when in March, 1853, he "withdrew from the Presidential office, the general sentiment proclaimed that he had filled the -place with ability and honor. The country abounded with prosperity; the administration was identified with the and during all this time he continued to be the chancellor of the university. Refuses Oxford Degree The position then was honorary9 and a sinecure, and its occupant could at the same time hold public office or go abroad, as he might choose, and view, among other things, the ancient universities of Europe; and this, after leaving the Presidency, Millard Fillmore did. To the Earl of Derby he writes, —about two weeks since I visited the collegiate institutions of Oxford, and spent a delightful day in viewing the venerable buildings whose walls are adorned with portraits of men whose names are familiar on our side of the Atlantic as household words." Derby who was then chancellor of Oxford had invited the ex-President to «o up to receive the degree of D. C.

The faculty would have him present the diplomas with a Latin speech, and even offered to write it out for him. "No! no!" he said,'' I don't understand Latin, and if I make the presentation speech, it must be in English.' '15 But though without Latin himself, Chancellor Fillmore was no enemy of the old, humane learning; and he looked forward to the expansion of the university. That institution, though still comprising only a school of medicine, had outgrown its first quarters, and since November, 1849, had been housed on the corner of Main and Virginia streets, in a brownstone building of only two and a half stories, with little spires at each corner," 16 and here it continued to be housed throughout the chancellorship of Millard Fillmore, its faculty in that time increasing from the original seven to 22.1T But though in 1862 committees of the council were appointed to consider the establishing of faculties in law and in the liberal arts, and though six years of Buffalo are now prepared to go on with their school in an edifice which their own hands have builded. All else is vacant. Reflect, and see if it will not be a reproach upon us, if we longer permit our university to exist with but a single branch. Now to secure the advantages of an academic department, we are compelled to send our sons to Geneva, to Union, and other institutions at the East. But I look forward with confidence to the time when this shall not be and at no distant day.'>18 Equally sanguine had the chancellor been upon thefirst commencement, June 16, 1847, when with the Medical school established he hoped "to see next the academic department organized, and at the earliest possible moment; and why,'' he says,'' should we despair of this ? The time has come when such an institution is indispensable to the wants and honor of our city. I appeal to every father '' who has a son to educate. Why should he be compelledto send that son to some eastern village or distant city to give him a liberal education ?

"—Adv. RECALLS CIVIL WAR HORRORS �Univee.sity op Buffalo 22 Why an Alumni Association? By A. B. Lemon, Secretary-Treasurer of the Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo the ever increasing influence of the alumni being felt by the universities of the country, it may prove interesting to explore the necessity for an alumni organization. Alumni organization is a modern enterprise and largely American. Only the most recent college histories carry any reference to alumni activity. The graduates of European universities, even today, have no concerted means of expressing any loyalty they may possess for their Alma Mater, or exerting any influence upon her pol- \Jy icies. Yale was probably the first American institution to attempt alumni organization. Practically every Tale class since 1792 has been organized successfully. The Williams alumni began organization in 1821, Princeton in 1826, Harvard in 1840, and other organizations followed until today there is hardly a university or college in the country, large or small, that does not have a functioning alumni association. Until very recently the purpose of alumni organization was very largely social. There has always been a desire on the part of the majority of graduates of American institutions, to keep in touch with the institution which gave them academic birth. Published records of alumni and college activities began with the Yale record in 1821, and today there are well nigh 100 in number. The Alumni Come Into Power To the American, organization means activity and it was not long before the influence of alumni organizationwas being felt by the university and her graduates. The loyal graduates became no longer content with just knowing what was going on. They wanted to have a part in the ever changing policies of their Alma Mater. Their interest grew to the point where they began to make financial contributions which were becoming increasingly welcome. We rarely pause to contemplate the radical metamorphosis our educational institutions have undergone in the last half century. While the increase in enrolment in our university has been phenomenal, the demand for physical equipment with which to care for the increasing horde has been in many instances nothing short of staggering. The all-inclusive educational program of today requires laboratories, apparatus, classrooms and libraries, as well as a greatly augmented staff of instructors. This all costs money and the income has rapidly fallen behind the expenditure. It was therefore with no small degree of delight the university welcomed the co-operation of its graduates and it was not long until the Alumni were represented on the board of control and actively participating in directing the policies of the university. This led to the condition which obtains today in most American educational institutions, namely, the Alumni as a very vital part of the university. This fact has proved distasteful to the presidents of many universities, but obviously alumni interest is too valuable an asset to disregard, and it has come to stay. The fact that graduates are pouring millions of dollars into the coffers of our universities today is mute evidence of the influence that lies behind those gifts. Salesmen for Their Alma Mater Monetary gifts, although indispensible to many of our academic institutions, do not constitute the most important benefactions that may be bestowed by the loyal Alumnus. Of far greater importance is the spirit which makes of the Alumnus a constant salesman for his Alma Mater.

Hague, '25 Just about the time this publication reaches its readers, our football team will be taking the field against Westminster in the opening game of the 1927 grid season. It is too early, at this writing, to make any sort of a prediction concerning the probable success of the team. The schedule presents a difficult array of games, and it is one that will call for almost superhuman efforts on the part of Coach Carrick and his squad. On September 16, two weeks before the first contest, practice started at Rotary field, and on that day just nine candidates, only three of whom were veterans, answered the call. Ponder that, you grads who are prone to deal out criticism directed toward coach, players, and what have you.

Y. December 15,1927 Volume 11. Number 2. Event and Comment Charles Dean Jones is dead. At the j"er peak of his career, respected and admired by all who knew him, his life was snuffed out with shocking suddenness. To all appearances a man in the best of health, he fell a victim to a heart attack on the morning of November 16. He had attended mission services in North Presbyterian church Tuesday evening, and had retired about 10:30 that night. At about 3 o'clock the next morning, he complainedof pains in the chest, and was stricken just after the arrival of his only son, Pascal Pratt Jones. To the ears of his colleagues came the incredible news that day, '' Dean Jones is dead.'' To the students and professors at the university, the officials of the Buffalo Orphan asylum, where he was physician-in-chief, his confreres at the Children's hospital and the thousands of Buffalonians who read the newspapers that day, came the word, "Dean Jones is dead." He will be missed. * " " Library in this issue of the Alumni News appears an article by Dr. August H. Shearer, director of the department of Library Science. We glean from Dr. Shearer's article the fact that upwards of 100 holders of certificates in Library Science are located in the city of Buffalo. We do not hear that those graduates have organized an Alumni Alumni association, or have made any attempt to enter the general association. Yet they are Alumni, according to the new constitution of the Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo, which provides for admission to membership of all those who have completed 12 semester hours in the university. It is true that more and more of the certificate holders also receive Arts degrees, which would make them eligible for membership in the Arts Alumni association. Yet Library Science is a separate department, and such an Alumni association has a right to exist, " " # Apparently there has been a misun(jerstanding or a lack of understanding of the general Alumni association by some of our older graduates. The secretary of the Medical Alumni association has complained that several graduates of the Medical school have paid dues to the generalassociation thinking such payment also took care of their Medical Alumni association dues. Obviously some of our graduates are still thinking only in terms of the school from which they graduated and have not yet been convinced that we now have a university with a college of liberal arts, four Where Do You Fit? professional schools, a School of Business Administration, an Evening school and a Summer school with about 3,000 students scattered throughout. �2 Prior to 1914 the graduates of the university were organized only in their respective departmental associations. The professional schools boasted of well organized associations which had been functioning for years but with no idea of serving more than their departmental interests. When the need was felt for an Alumni association which would serve the interests of the Alumni at large, a general Alumni association was formed "for the purpose of promoting the acquaintance of the Alumni of the university; to strengthen the connection between the Alumni and the university, to cooperate with the divisional Alumni organizations of the university and to promote all matters pertaining to the welfare of the university and generally to advance the interests, influence and efficiency of the University of Buffalo"—no one division, but the whole university. The divisional associations still maintain their individual integrity, are all active and doing good work. There is constant cooperation between the divisional associations and the general association but the management and financing is separate in each instance. Dues of each asso- ciation are as follows: Medical, $3 a year, payable to Miss Emma L. Chappell, 24 High street. Law, $1 a year, payable to Willard Saperston, Liberty Bank building. Pharmacy, $2 a year, payable to C. C. Finney, 69 Florida street. Dentistry, $1 a year, payable to Dr. Wesley M. Backus, 61 Grant street. Arts, $1 a year, payable to Viola Hultin, 81 Greenwood place. General association, $2 a year, including a year's subscription to the Alumni News, payable to A. B. Lemon, 3435 Main street. University op Buffalo Law and the There is no more encouragHumamties jng g jgn 0j reaj progress toward the highest scholastic standing in the university than in the Law school. Two years ago this September it became necessary for the first year students to have one year of an arts college course for entrance. The resultant improvement in scholarship has been very much worth while. Although it has reduced the number of students each year since, it has without doubt in our opinion decidedly improved the quality of Law school scholarship. It also has given the Law school a better standing among the law schools of the land. This September and hereafter, all entering Law students must present two years of college credit for admission. If this added trainingin the abilityto think advances the scholarship of the Law school first year men as much beyond the one year standard as did the latter over its preceding low standard, then indeed the university is doublyto be congratulated. We hope the day is near at hand when a B. A. degree will be the entrance requirementfor our Law school, thus placing it in the first rank of the law schools of this country.

Filthy Lucre �Alumni News 3 In Memoriam 1858-1927 �4 University op Buffalo Pioneering in McKean County A Letter Telling About the Old Days of Medical Practice, By Henry Lane McCoy, M. D., '68 Dear Sirs: As you have been so kind as to ask me to write a sketch of my professional life, I feel that I can do no less than to comply with your request. I was born in Smethport, Pa., on October 20, 1846, and am past 80 years young. My father, Dr. William Y. McCoy, came into this county about 1830 from New Jersey. He was a graduate of the University of Ohio. He married here a daughter of Dr. George Darling who moved his family here from Massachusetts in the 1820's. His oldest son was also a physician, Dr. Jedediah Darling. He practicetPhere until his death in 1871. So I seem to have inherited a tendency to practice medicine from my forbears. I also have inherited from my father and mother a great love for music. I have been choir leader in my church most of my life. This has been a great solace and comfort to me through my rather strenuous life. I received such education as the schools of my native town afforded with a smattering of Latin and higher mathematics. I read some medicine in my father's office for a year or so and entered the Buffalo university in 1867, graduating in the spring of 1868. Then commenced practice with my father and my uncle, Jedediah Darling. At that early time McKean county was still quite primitive, with few good roads and in some localities almost no roads at all. Fees were very low and charity work plenty at all times, and though I never suffered the incredible hardships that my father and uncle suf- fered, still "I could a tale unfold." The work was hard and consultations almost impossible. Hospitals were not at hand. The doctor had to rely on himself with the help of some good, kind neighbor- women. I wellremember the faculty of the old stone college, corner of Main and Vir- ginia streets; Dr. E. M. Moore of the chair of surgery, a very wise surgeon, fine talker and a man of commanding presence; Dr. Thomas F. Rochester, professor of practice medicine, a very well trained and genial gentleman and a good lecturer; Dr. Sanford Eastman, professor of anatomy, a nervous and quick spoken man in whose office I spent some time; Dr. George Hadley, professor of chemistry, a slow spoken but interesting lecturer; Dr. Julius Miner, professor of opthalmology; Dr. James P. White, a very pompous and rather ponderous speaker; Dr. Charles A. Lee of Materia Medica, then quite an elderly gentleman, and Dr. Wetmore, demonstrator in anatomy. The name of the professor of physiology who lived in New Haven was Mason. He was an interesting and entertaining lecturer. We then read Dalton's physiology. I have had the privilege of a long continued and somewhat intimate acquaintance with Professor Roswell Park, Professor Matthew D. Mann, Dr. James A. Gardner, now all gone; Professor Charles G. Stockton, Professor Allen A. Jones, Dr. Earl Lothrop and others of the leading men of Buffalo. I have a fairly good library of books which I purpose giving to the Buffalo Academy of Medicine. Among them are some heirlooms more than a century old, handed down to me from the old worthies. I still maintain an office but do very little work. Hoping this effusion is not too long and may interest some of the Alumni. Respectfully, Henry Lane McCoy, 1868. �5 Alumni News Advances in Pharmaceutical Education By A. B. Lemon, Secretary of the Faculty, School University of Buffalo writer was much interested in i^\HE the replies to a questionnaire sent V^v out from the School of Pharmacy of the University of Buffalo by its dean last summer. A copy of the questionnaire soliciting suggestions regarding the curriculum for a three year course in pharmacy was sent to each graduate of the above institution. Almost without exception the older graduates—those prior to 1890—stated that the course they received more than thirty-five years ago suited them pretty well and that they had no suggestions to offer for improvement. Thirty-five years ago the collegegraduated pharmacist was the exception rather than the rule. The pharmacist who possessed the college education was better equipped to compete for business, 25 years before the present three year course was authorized. Can anyone say with sincerity that this has been too rapid progress? Now the association, at present known as the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, recommends that in 1932, the minimum course of instruction in member schools be of four years' duration. The same deterrent forces are at work as have been active during the past twenty-five years. They argue that two years is long enough to expose a prospective pharma- cist to pharmaceutical education—three years, more than adequate and four years preposterous! The same obstructionists are however very anxious that pharmacy shall continue to be known as a profession. ... succeeded and was therefore satisfied. As long ago as 1870 delegates from various colleges of pharmacy met to discuss uniform requirements for graduation. In 1900 an association called the American Conference of Pharmaceutical Faculties was organized and from the date of its inception has been bending its efforts toward better education for the pharmacist. Progress has been slow and in many instances painful. Twentythree years passed before the organization could insist that students desiring a collegiate training in pharmacy must possess a preliminary education substantially equivalent to that which had long been demanded for admission to our standard colleges of liberal arts; namely, high school graduation or its of Pharmacy, Commonwealth Report One of the epochs in pharmaceutical education was reached with the conclusion of a survey of the educational needs of the pharmacist, popularly known as the Commonwealth report. This report required nearly three years to complete and cost about $34,000. One of the most important results of this investigation is the conclusion reached relative to the time as expressedin years, that should be devoted to the collegiate training of students in Pharmacy. The report states that ". if the student is to receive a cultural training and adequate instruction in both commercial and professional pharmacy, the length of time would probably not fall far equivalent. short of four years." Four YearCourse by 1932 As a college graduate and presumably Concurrently with the endeavor of the an educated man, the pharmacist should association to increase the admission re- be a man of real significance, responsibilquirements ran the desire to extend the ity and influence in his community. Any length of the course. The short two year educational process should tend toward course approved in 1900 continued for the development in the student of a . . �University 6 proper sense of personal responsibility in life. If the pharmacist is to take his place among other professional men he must, in addition to being trained professionally, have certain principles of citizenship, culture and ethics included in his curriculum. Being a purveyor of information regarding health, he himself should be familiar with health habits and be in possession of a full understanding of the social and economic value of a healthy body and the means for keeping it in good physical condition. Somewhere in the course emphasis should be laid upon the ethics of the profession with special emphasis on individual integrity, honesty, respect for the rights of others and the creation of a standard of moral values. U. B. Pharmacy Now Three Years The school of Pharmacy of the University of Buffalo is now on a three year basis. The curriculum is not yet complete but it is gratifying to note that when complete, provision will be made for much of the material suggested above. In general the courses that have been given in the past will not be materially increased in content but more time will be given them. The additions to the curriculum include: English—3 hours a week during the entire junior year. Bacteriology—3 hours a week during the entire senior year. Pharmacodynamics including Gland Therapy —3 hours a week during the senior year. The Pharmacist's Relation to Public Health—15 hours of special lectures by op Buffalo it is hoped that more attention may be given to the development of personal traits necessary for success in pharmacy as well as the application of certain intelligence tests and the collections of data designed to determine the capabilities of each student and motivate him to his best efforts. To our many graduates we may say with pride, '' So many constructive changes are being made that you would hardly recognize the old school.''

Contemporary British 25-YEAR MEN HONORED The first annual Council-Faculty dinner given in honor of those who have completed 25 years or more of service to the university, was held in Buffalo Consistory Monday evening, November 14. Twenty-five members of the faculty and 175 members of the council attended. N. Loring Danforth was toastmaster. "Much credit for the high standing of the university belongs to the members of the faculty, especially those who have given long service," declared Chancellor FACULTY MEMBERS BUSY Chancellor Capen and Dean Julian Park played prominent parts in recent conferences held in this city. At the conference on Family Life in America, held October 2 to 4, Chancellor Capen presided at the Monday morning session. On October 28, he extended a "Greeting from the University of Buffalo" to the Political Institute of the Erie County League of Women Voters, then in session. The following day Dean Park addressed the institute on the subject, '' Has Democracy Failed in Europe?'' Dr. August H. Shearer has been honored by his election to the presidency of the New York Library association. The association gathered for its annual meeting September 26 to October 1, at Lake Placid, with 300 delegatesfrom all parts of the state. From these Dr. Shearer was chosen. The delegation from Buffalo numbered 19. Dean Daniel H. Squire and Dr. Clarence H. Thurber attended the annual Samuel P. Capen, the principal speaker. Adelbert Moot, professor of the law of evidence, and vice chancellor of the University of the State of New York, spoke briefly on the development of the Law school, and its relations to the state board. The growth of an unendowed medical college into the present School of Medicine, one of the leaders of its kind in the country, was narrated by Charles G. Stockton, M. D., '87, professor emeritus in medicine. Honor guests were: Charles Cary, convocation of the University of the M.D., '79; Lucien Howe, M. D., '82; State of New York at Albany October Willis G.

Experiments in the dental clinic which resulted in the discovery of a new medium for the cultivation of organisms of the mouth were described by George F. Roberts, D. D. S., professor of bacteriology and histology, in a paper he read before the National Dental association in Detroit several weeks ago. Chancellor Capen assisted at the inauguration of Ernest H. Wilson as the new president of Oberlin College, on October 24. From Oberlin he went to Montreal, where he attended meetings of the Association of American Medical Colleges and the Commission on Medical Education. He returned to Buffalo in time to address the League of Women Voters. New Books Out Among the latest writings of members of the faculty, we note the following: "Napoleon in Captivity" is a translation and edition by Dean Julian Park of reports and letters of Court Balzain, a friend of the emperor.

Backus, D. D. S. '04, Treasurer 2F¥%HAT appears to have been the rally call of the Dental Alumni, \U was at Jaeger's hall, Buffalo, on thefirst Tuesday of December, 1897. Anxious Alumni, fired with a vision of what such an organization would become, and of the importance to its members did all they could to rally the others within reach. But not nearly so many appeared as looked for and much disappointment prevailed. Of this disappointment, the Investi- gator has this to say: "We fear some of them, from neglecting to attend, are probably unconsciously falling into a rut, from which no power on earth will ever be able to extricate them.'' These words are from W. H. Snider, editor. The officers at the time were: President, F. L. Sibley, Rochester; vice president, T. C. Gibson, Buffalo; secretary, D. H. Young, Attica, and treasurer, H. F. Squire, Buffalo. Dr. Gibson, Dr. Young and Dr. Squire, together with J. W. Beach and H. G. Tripp, assisted the editor as a publish- ing committee. The membership fee was $1.75 a year, including a subscription to the magazine. The Investigator was published in connection with the Dental Practitioner, at that time one of the oldest and best journals of the profession, and edited by Dr. Barret. Soon after, the Alumni created an entirely new journal, the College Forum, of which an issue appears as late as 1920. There was also college news in the Dental Forum, edited by Dr. Beach, and the Bison in a few issues attempted to cover needs, as does the Bee, but the distinctive character of a department journal has now fallen by the wayside, awaiting the inspiration of some Good Samaritan to rescue it, and rejuvenate it, perhaps under some of its former names.

A Dental Magazine and lack of sufficient backing from the faculty and advertising dental firms, although all of these most likely did their best. Certainly it did not die from lack of quality and quantity of its essays, editorials and helpful hints to the profession. In its first issue is an essay by Dr. J. J. Madden on "Economics of Dentition," and one by Dr. F. C. McPherson on "Extracting Teeth." To the Genesee, January 26, 1900, flocked the Alumni from up and down the state. Some came by the New York Central, when Dean Richmond of Batavia, an early president of the road, had only recently laid down the power of the rails, and Dean Barret of the Dental school had known and admired him. Even now J. A. McArthur of Buffalo can tell many quaint things of those days. �University op Buffalo 10 Others came by the Erie and the West Shore into Buffalo, and some in the wagons made by the Studebakers, when they were just getting an inkling of the horseless wagons they were soon to make. Nectar and Ambrosia The Genesee hotel, then the choice of the elite traveler, was noted far andwide for its service and cuisine. On decorated plates, bearing the "G", they beheld choice food, and from thin glasses they partook of the nectar and ambrosia, colored and colorful, and there was none to think aught of it. Similar meetings were held in the Iroquois hotel when even richer red drapes separated the meeting room from the exhibit room where dental manufacturers and dental depots rivalled each other for choice space within the four large central rooms, or choice positions around the outside. Always did we participate in a final faculty luncheon at the college where in the ampitheater the annual business would be conducted, and old college doors would be swung to reveal chairs and plaster benches from which memories came. Dean Squire "Brightest of Six" From the class of '93 in which Dan Squire is credited with being the brightest member of the entire classroll of six, until the class of 1926, the events have multiplied in memorable strength. As Dan in those days mastered his Gray's "Anatomy" by the oil lamp of student design, or one of plain grocery merchandise, bought for 60 cents, wick included, and knew his anatomy as Thomas B. Reed knew his Blackstone, so Dan like other students must have had his off days when studies were irksome and long Latin names of muscles were not easily mastered. Now our meetings are held at the Hotel Statler. The space alone costs us $600, and our year's expenses run into the thousands. Yet so well managed is the committee machinery, with dues at but one dollar a year, in addition to our floor revenues, we now break almost even year by year. Our last Alumni registration was near 800. While not affording a department journal, we are providing high class meetings. LECTURES ON THE FENTON FOUNDATION The Fenton Foundation has for the last year enabled the University of Buffalo to bring to the people of the city lecturers, who would not be available without its generous terms. The list of lecturers for the fall of 1927 shows a group of statesmen and literary men which it would be difficult to equal. The lectures are free to the public and are offered for the delight and education of the community. The lectures so far delivered are as follows: October 25: "The Educational System of Great Britain," by Morgan Jones, M. P., of the British Labor Party. November 3: "The Educational System of France," by Auguste Desclos, Paris, assistant director of the office in charge of educational exchanges between France and the United States. M. Desclos' lecture provided a comparison between the educational systems of France and England. M. Desclos also lectured at the University of Buffalo on the morning of November 3> From November 9 to 13, Robert Frost was "poet in residence" at the university, holding individual conferences, and deliveringtwo lectures. Robert Frost is a visiting professor at Amherst college, and the University of Michigan. This is the first time the University of Buffalo has entertained a lecturer in this way. Many students took advantage of his conferences and also many people outside the university. December 6: " Some Illusions of Current Political Thought," by Norman Angell. He is the author of '' The Great Illusion." The list of Fenton lectures for the second semester will appear in the next issue of the Alumni News. �Alumni News 11 Librarianship As a Profession By August H. Shearer, Ph. D., Director of the School of Library Science; Librarian at Grosvenor Library; Professorial Lecturer in History "j^CS HE The course now consists of sixteen hours of classroom work given in the College of Arts and Sciences and intensive practical work given in the libraries to the same number of credit hours. The actual clock hours of the latter number 720. The latter requirement is more Library. The University was willing to classroom instruction less. Also the amount of teaching by full time instructors is less than customary so that approval has been withheld as yet by the National Board of Education for Librarianship. The university has in mind the appointment of a person of professorial rank for instruction as soon as the financial situation allows and it is possible that the classroom instruction will eventually be increased. So much value however has been apparent from practical work that this will probably be continued, hence it will require a library science candidate more than a year to secure the certificate. library science course at the University of Buffalo was started in the fall of 1919 after conferences during the previous spring between Mr. Walter L.

Shearer of the Grosvenor V^v establish such a course and the libraries to loan teachers, and to give facilities for practical work. Two points were clear, first, that this was to be a general course, not a training course in a particular library, and hence the University connection was desirable and necessary; and second, that the training, after the theoretical part was given, was to be practical to the point that students should have their practice work under the same conditions as far as possible as library employees, but under supervision and direction.'' Even Japan Gets Them This statement is taken from a summary drawn up in 1923and substantially holds to the present time. Since September, 1919, about 140 students have been admitted to the course. Of these exactly 100 have received certificates. Of the one hundred, 30 have married and withdrawn from library work or have gone into other lines, such as teaching, law and social work. Of the other 70, 65 are still in library positions. Twenty-four of the graduates are with the Buffalo Public and 17 with the Grosvenor library, but there are at the present time nine others in public libraries, eight in high schools, six in college libraries, and two in special libraries, and the number has been larger. The distribution is mainly in Buffalo and New York state, but there than the other library schools in the country and the Board Requires Three Years In 1919 high school graduation was all that was required for entrance, but after the third class entered, it was apparent that more advanced training was necessary and a year of college was required. As a result of the classification of library schools by the National board, three years are now required. As a matter of fact for the last two years a large majority of students have been college graduates or have received their degree from the university with their certificate. With the present year there are practically no exceptions.

The first is the mistaken idea that intelligencecan be increased by formal education. The second is that there has come to be a feeling that education is a goal, an accomplishment, which can be attained by youth— a finished attainment, which henceforth will be the master key to the solution of all difficult situations and problems. The individual is born with a certain amount or grade of intelligence, together with the emotions of fear, hate and love. These are his stock in trade with which he must learn to meet the University op Buffalo college students get into serious mental difficulties which require not only recognition but wise and patient management. Of course the mental make-up of the student is basic in all these complications. It is almost inconceivable that average intelligence with normal emotional reactions and good physical health, could ever show anything but normal, eommonsense reactions in any situation. Youths of this type are rarely found in difficult situations which are not of their own choosing, because they can not be coerced. Young men go to college because their parents wish it or realities of life and accomplish success- because they think it will improve their ful and happy living. This capital chances in life or because they think it is the thing to do.

Now he discovers that the course which he has pursued is strewn with wrecked idols, lost opportunities, lost faith and wasted time and money. Mental Hygiene Steps In Here there is an imperative need for mental hygiene, which must be an attempt to make the individual see and understand that not everything is lost, that there are other better ways, for him, of becoming useful, successful and respected, than by earning a college diploma. He must be shown that he has made an experiment, albeit an expensive one, which has helped him to find himself, and that after all, a real education is not a miscellaneous collection of facts which may be trotted out as occasion may require, but an assimilation of facts well intigrated with one's personality, as Dean Martin puts it. "A real educated person," he says, "is one who can do something and who knows the significance of what he does, who has acquired a set of values and who has a yes and a no that are his own." There are many college students with talent who have not developed a good personality and who are thus unable to fit themselves quickly and satisfactorily to new and difficult situations. Usually a poor personality is associated with emotional instability which is shown by lack of poise and egocentric thinking. There are also students with talent who have been so successfully coerced in their formative years, that when they finally are free to act as they choose, become indifferent, undependable and show almost infantile reactions. All these need wise and continuous management until they can find themselves and, if possible, reconstruct their personality. Pre-College Period Important After all the important time to use mental hygiene with the college student is before he actually enters college. It is here that his intelligence, his motives, his emotional makeup and his past adjustments should be carefully evaluated and appraised, with a conviction that it is a greater kindness to steer him away from trouble by making him realize in what field of endeavor his hope, his happiness and his usefulness lie, than to allow him to aspire to wear a cap and gown. In the present-day mad rush for a college education, which has developed into what might be called a mass movement, college facilities have been swamped and entrance requirements have had to be raised to select, if possible, the most eligible and promising applicants. In this emergency, stiff examinations are chiefly depended upon to stem the tide, which means that the burden of responsibility has been put on high schools and preparatory schools. Mental Hygiene for Parents So it happens that mental hygiene must be used on student and parent alike for at least two years before the college entrance struggle comes to a head. High school principals and head masters can do much in these last few years of combined home and school control in which the student must somehow detach himself from direct parental guidance and become an independent going concern. Most important work in character building can be done here. Ambition and desire can be so directed or curbed that future unhappiness and breakdowns with failure are prevented. This period of life should be full of helpful encouragement, hopeful assurance that life really is a wonderful opportunity and a great adventure. The larger portion of the mass of our high school boys, mostly fine and deserving fellows, are doomed to meet the failure and what seems to them like unfair discrimination, when they try for college admission. It is difficult to understand why, and it is absolutely wrong that, a boy in early adolescence, which is normally shot through with the glamour of achievement, altruistic ideals and faith in himself, should be brought to feel that the only hope for the realization of his own and his parent's dreams, lies in a competitive struggle for a chance to earn a sheep skin. �University op 16 SENIOR MEMORIAL PLEDGE For a number of years it was customary for the graduating class in each school of the University to present some material gift to its particular school as a memorial to that class. These gifts included pictures, books, lecterns and various other furnishings, suitably labeled with the graduating year of the donors. Following the establishment of the College of Arts and Sciences the school spirit began to merge itself into a greater university spirit and the graduating classes began to think in terms of the university rather than of their respective schools. Accordingly the senior classes of 1925 inaugurated what is known as the Senior Memorial pledge. According to the terms of the pledge the graduate agrees to pay two dollars at the time of graduation, increasing that by one dollar each year for nine years after graduation and then continuing the ten dollar annual pledge until it becomes necessary to revoke the same. Since these represent payments by Alumni and since solicitations and collections are made by the Alumni secretary, payments are made to him. The pledge is made for the purpose of maintaining the office of the Alumni secretary, publishing an Alumni magazine and making contributions to the general funds of the university. The statistics on the fund to October 1, 1927, were as follows: 1925—231 seniors or 70 per cent, of the class signed the memorial pledge. Of this number, 32 per cent, have made at least one payment. 1926—317 seniors or 88 per cent, subscribed and of this number 26 per cent, have made one or more payment. 1927—284 seniors or 78 per cent, subscribed of which number 16 per cent, have made one payment. Total amount paid to date is $946, rears. In many instances the bills are representing 27% per cent, of the amount due. The problem confronting the Alumni Buffalo secretary is that of devising a scheme for successfully soliciting the balance due. Quarterly bills are sent out to all in arrears in many instances the bills are accompaniedwith personal notes. If all pledges were kept up to date, the Alumni secretary would be in a position to be of much greater service in his field. Progress is severelyhandicappedby lack of funds. Any suggestion regarding the best method of stimulating pledgees to meet the conditions of their pledges will be gratefully received. URGES PERMANENT SECRETARIES As a means of keeping up class spirit, election of permanent secretaries for each class was advocated by Dr. Richard W. Boynton, president of the Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo, speaking at the monthly luncheon of the Arts Alumni association in the Alumni club October 22. "A permanent secretary can keep in contact with the members of his class more easily than the secretary of a departmental Alumni association," Dr. Boynton pointed out. "Such a person could be the liason officer btween the classes and the Alumni News. '' Miss Grace M. Heacock, '24, was elected secretary of the association to succeed Miss Mildred L. Wheaton, '24, who resigned. President John Thedore Horton, '26, was in the chair. Harry R. Freeman, director of the Buffalo Bureau of Municipal Research, was the speaker at the November luncheon, November 19. CHAUTAUQUANS MEET Regular monthly luncheon meetings of the Chautauqua District Alumni association were inaugurated at a meeting in Jamestown November 1. Meetings will be held the first Tuesday of each month in the Hotel Jamestown. A committee has been appointed to make a cheek of Alumni in the district. Alumni in the region, not on the list, are requested to communicate with Allan E. Bargar, Jamestown, N.

However that may be, that he wrote goodhistory and wrote well, was no disparagement to his chancellorship, even though it was in fact a School of Medicine still rather than a genuine university over which he presided. Nor was it only the fact that it consisted of but a School of Medicine which made the university anomalous among institutions of learning. It was also, at least according to modern ideas of administration, the principle on which it was run.

Growth did indeed appear a slow process, and the growing pains by no means inconsiderable. Nevertheless, by 1889 a movement began which resulted in the erection of the now familiar school in High street, devoted not only to pharmacy and medical faculties, but as Chancellor Sprague declared, "to the wants of a complete dental school as well." 9 It was in May, 1892, that such a school had been authorized, and exactly a year before, the Buffalo Law school had been taken into the university. Sound achievement therefore, marked these years so inauspiciously begun, and made the chancellorship of Mr. Sprague a period of development. Old and Prominent Family The third chancellor, however, as his predecessors had done, gave himself to the profession of the law, and conspicuous had been his attainments. Descended directly from Francis Sprague, thefirst secretary of Plymouth, and from the Aldens, Eben Carleton Sprague was born in Bath, New Hampshire, November 26, 1822. About four years later he was brought to Buffalo, where his parents, Noah Paul and Mary Abiah Carleton, established themselves as the progenitors of one of the oldest and most prominent families of the town. Educating their son at Phillips Exeter and at Harvard from which he was graduated in 1843, they gave him an admirable preparation for the bar, to which he was admitted three years later. 10 With a notable clientele which, among other great corporations included the Grank Trunk, Great Western and Lake Erie & Western railway companies, Mr. Sprague might well have enjoyed the political rewards which eminence in the law seldom fails to command. But like his predecessor, Mr. Marshall in his scholarly tastes, he was like him in this also, that he eared very little for public JAMES OSBORNE PUTNAM office. Though often sought as a candidate, he served in only one high public place, the senate of New York, and his eminence therefore is to be attributedto his professional, rather than his political achievements. Accomplished in languages, with him there was no chance as with Fillmore of being offered a degree that he should be unable to read. Nor when it was offered him, did he refuse it, and upon June 29, 1892, he became a doctor of laws of Harvard. By that time however his life had not long to run, and a few more years and his city and the many institutions with which he had identified himself, would be the poorer for loss of him. Of these not the least was the university. A member of the council he had been since 1877, and when in February, 1895, while reading in his poet Shelley, he was fatally stricken. He had been chancellor for eleven fruitful years. Putnam Also Well Fitted In that place he was succeeded by his friend, Mr. James Osborne Putnam, like himself by temperament and training admirably fitted to preside over a univer- �Univebsity op Buffalo 20 sity. Born at Attica in Wyoming county, New York, the son of Harvey Putnam and Myra Osborne, he was descended on his father's side from John Putnam of Buckinghamshire, who came to Massachusetts in 1634; and in his mother's line from Benjamin Simonds of Williamstown, who during the Revolution had served as colonel of the Berkshire regiment of the Massachusetts militia. Educated at Middlebury academy in Genesee county, at Hamilton and Yale colleges, young Putnam was in 1841, at a term of Supreme court in Rochester, admitted to the bar. In the next year he came to Buffalo where his rise in both law and polities was rapid. A conservative Whig, he was appointed postmaster of Buffalo by President Fillmore. In 1854 and 1855 he sat in the senate of the state where he won for himself a country-wide reputation by drafting and defending the Church Property bill, designed to prevent title to church property from vesting in the bishops. Championed the Cause of Congregations In a synod at Baltimore the bishops had decreed "that all churches belong to the bishop of the diocese."11 They had then begun an attack upon incorporated congregations, and had confiscated to the prelates some twentyfive millions of ecclesiastical property. Among the churches of Buffalo, Saint Louis' alone held out against the bishops' claim to absolute control of the church property, and in return the trustees found their congregation deprived of the sacraments and themselves excommunicated. In this extremity appealing to the state, they found in Senator Putnam a champion who carried through the legislature a bill to protect them by divesting the clergy of control over the temporalities of the church. Like his friend Sprague, Chancellor Putnam cherished a generous and robust liberalism. 12 Like Fillmore, he could return with satisfaction to the day when that liberalism had been put to the test in political strife and not found wanting. Anticipating the objection of the ... bishops to his bill, that it would encourage schism and dissent, he had said, "I would reply that this is the land of dissent, that its institutions tolerate and invite dissent, that they were founded by those who were said by England's most philosophic statesmen to have embraced a religion which was the very 'dissidence of dissent,' and that its government cannot employ itself in forging chains for the human mind or fetters for the conscience. On the contrary it encourages research, it is hopeful, and not fearful of schisms growing out of enlightened inquiry on all questions of policy or faith." 13 Appointed Consul at Havre in 1861 So spoke the senator who was to become the fourth chancellor of the University of Buffalo; nor had he been intending it, could he have more happily formulated the policy of any university worth the name. But the days of his chancellorship were then in the far distance, and before they should arrive, he had yet his career in politics to run. Considering his stand upon relations between church and state, it was not strange that he identified himself with the so-called American party, whose candidate for President in 1856 was Fillmore; and that in 1857 he should have been its candidate for secretary of state of New York. It was to the Republicans however that he gave his final support and it was to their ranks he succeeded in bringing over the American party in Western New York. 1* A strong partisan of Lincoln, he was appointed consul at the Havre in 1861 and upon the assassination, he prepared the address of American citizens abroad to their stricken government. In 1880 he went as the minister of the United States to Belgium; so that his public career was doubly distinguished, a career in diplomacy outside the country, a career within, in the councils of party, and legislative assemblies. Cancer Laboratory Such was the man who was the fourth chancellor; whose interest in the univer- �Alumni News 21 sity was older than the institution it- self; who had been a member of the original council, and as vice chancellor had presided at the memorial session of 1889 when Dr. Eoswell Park had suggested the sale of the property at Main and Virginia streets and the purchase of a larger lot for the erection of adequate buildings; during whose own chancellorship, he had seen dedicated the new Dental building in Goodrich street, and, the result of the first appropriation ever made by a legislature for combating the disease of cancer, inaugurated as the Medical School Cancer laboratory which in time was to develop into the New York State Institute for the Study of Malignant Diseases; and, as a third achievement of his time, had witnessed the merging of the Medical department of Niagara university with that of the I University of Buffalo. When therefore, in October, 1902, in his 85th year, Mr. Putnam resigned the chancellorship, the university which he had helped establish more than a half-century before, had deepened, strengthened and stretched out its hold upon the community, until so far from being absorbed by Cornell as President Adams had suggested, it had actually taken over the Medical faculty of another university and absorbed it into its own. Through its history from the very beginning, Chancellor Putnam had known the university. All of its history he had seen, part of it he himself had been, and for him, as for Marshall and Sprague, both like him, gentlemen of that old and urbane school, the tradition of the University is the richer and the more distinguished. of the University of Buffalo, p. 11.

Hague '25 Once more the Alumni can find little to boast about in looking over the results of another season of football. Ho- bart, Eochester, Niagara, Westminster, Clarkson, and St. Lawrence added victories to their records at the expense of the Blue and White. The season ended in a 0-0 tie with Alfred University. In several games, however, the team showed remarkable offensive and defensive strength, usually to wilt in the last quarter because of a lack of reserve material. It would take a mightier pen than the one I wield to do justice to the efforts of Coach Russ Carrick and the boys who have gone out week after week and taken their medicine. They have shown a spirit that is remarkable when one considers the conditions attending football in our Alma Mater. The Alumni doffs its hat to Coach Russ Carrick, Captain Arthur Ungerer, and the members of the 1927 team. Most of us are thoroughly familiar with conditions as far as football is concerned, but for the sake of those who wonder why their team isn't winning— here are just a few of the facts concerning the past season: Coach Carrick estimated that he had an average attendance of ten candidates at practice sessions through the season. Squad members averaged about two practice sessions a week, due to late classes, lab periods, etc. Members of the squad attending Law school reported for practice at 12:30 and left at 1:45 P. M. Other members reported whenever possible up to 6 P. M. Congestion in locker and shower rooms caused dissatisfaction and desertion of some candidates—Freshman and Varsity squads using same rooms. of Buffalo is just about committeed to the abolition of football. While there is apparently no reliable authority for the rumor there may be an element of truth in it. At any rate, the story has awakened a dormant Alumni spirit and once more the local grads are evincing a real interest in the football situation. About 50 of our active members held a meeting a few days ago as a result of the rumored abolition of the grid sport. After discussing the situation and learning of the difficulties that confront continuance of football, committees were appointed to meet the chancellor, the deans and the athletic council, to solicit their aid in the rejuvenation of football in the university. Every loyal Alumnus should rejoice to hear that Dr. DeCue,Dr. Ed Mimmack, Dr. Jimmy Ailinger, Dr. George Voss, George Metz and other well-known grads are taking steps to organize and weld Alumni support and spirit in the hope of saving the football situation. " * * Coach Art Powell, who has directed our basketball activities for the past few years, isn't showing much enthusiasm over the prospects for the coming season. Art never did do much pre-season boasting about his teams, but he manages, somehow, to take a very small squad along about November 15 and a few weeks later send his outfit against the big teams of the east and has thus far emerged with better than an even break. Three of last year's regulars—Len Brizdle, Hy Bass and Gus Stoesser are expected to earn places on the 1927 team. It is too early, at this time, to make any predictions as to who will fill the shoes of Potter and Harrington, neither of whom are in school this season. A newcomer on the schedule this year is Dartmouth, intercollegiate champions " Just as this issue is going to press the last season. The other high spots on the local sport columns are telling the world schedule are the usual Cornell, Colgate that the athletic council of the University and Rochester games.

LAW ALUMNI BUSY The officers and trustees of the Law Alumni association have been busy planning and working out programsof progress since the middle of last July. At the request of the president, Henry Adsit Bull, and with the co-operation of the other officers and trustees, four meetings have been held since then. A constitution has been drawnup and adopted, bringing the organization up to date in reference to the general Alumni association and present activities of the Alumni. The campaign is under way greatly to enlarge the list of members of the Law Alumni association. Very intensive work will be done on this during the winter months. The last meeting of the officers and trustees of the Law Alumni was held at Kocher's restaurant in Main Street, and to it were invited Dr. A. B. Lemon, Alumni secretary; Dr. Clarence H. Thurber, executive secretary of the university, and several other faculty members. After the luncheon a most enjoyable and instructive time was had by the lawyers being taken through Hayes' hall and given a new view of the present progressive conditions there and elsewhere on the campus.

Y. Volume 11. March, 1928 Number 3 Event and Comment The Ayes Football will be retained in the Have It University of Buffalo for another season. That is assured. But the ideal con- ditions under which loyal supporters of the Blue and White had hoped the gridiron sport would continue, seem no closer now than they were at the close of the last season, now just a painful memory. The Alumni News takes an unqualified stand in favor of scholarships for athletes. The edi' tors believe it to be the consensus of Alumni opinion that some method must be adopted to attract high school athletes to our institution. We believe that method is by the establishment of scholarships. It is our belief, however, that the thing must be a perfectly legitimate proposition. The employment of "ringers" is out of the question. Only harm could result from the virtual bribing of men to play on Buffalo's teams. A holder of an athletic scholarship must be a duly qualified high school graduate, and must have satisfied all the requirements for entrance to the university. Further, no leniency should be shown toward the holder of a scholarship, after he is admitted, simply because he is a player. It is the impression that discrimination is actually practiced against players at the institution, simply because they are players. This too, must not continue. The holder of the scholarship must be treated like the holder of any other scholarship in all respects. Endowing the scholarship should not be a difficult task. The Trend We agree with Dr. Charles H. of Ath- Keene, professor of hygiene and letics physical education in the univer- sity, that the trend of collegiate athletics is unquestionably toward control by the department of physical education. In an interview recently he pointed out that 24 out of 34 representative institutions employ their coaches as full-time men, and most of those have faculty rating. One need only point to such successful coaches as Stagg and Rockne to prove the system has its merits. But those men are primarily athletes. If the University of Buffalo adopts the system, careful consideration should be given the type of men who do the actual coaching. A mere knowledge of gymnastics is not enough. Rules of hygiene will not inculcate ideals of team-work and fair-play. Even actual experience as a player would not qualify. One frequently neglected quality is leadership. There are scores of individuals who combine those qualities and who could be depended on to make athletics a going concern in the University of Buffalo. Establishment of the system need not even mean selection of new coaches. Our present coaching staff could continue, and we would urge that it continue until the university can finance a full time staff. And to those who object to control of athletics by the administration, we point out that the present Athletic council already performs its functions subject to the pleasure of the Council of the University of Buffalo. �University of Buffalo 2 a gift of from Mr. and Mrs. the Ltet Darwin D. Martin, 125 Jewett parkway, Buffalo, was the highlight of the mid-year convocation on February 22, in the new auditorium of Edmund Hayes hall. The amount will be used to maintain in perpetuity the Martin Professorship of Mathematics. The gift is particularly welcome at a time when the College of Arts and Sciences is in the midst of its growing pains, as indeed is the whole university. In the words of Chancellor Capen at the time of the announcement, "Additions to endowment funds are of all forms of contributions to universities the most useful. Endowments for the teaching of fundamental subjects not only provide institutions with resources which will always be of vital service, but they insure as well a kind of immortality to the donors. Generations of teachers and generations of students in endless procession through the future become the immediate beneficiaries of the gift with which the donor's name is associated. We like to think that as long as the University of Buffalo shall last its members will be profiting by the foresight and generosity of these friends of ours, whose renewed and unsolicited testimonial of confidence is to us now so precious."

Henry Adsit Bull demonstrated his abilities as' chairman of the affair last year, and has been re-appointed, rightly enough, by the Alumni trustees, to direct the party again. He promises a bigger and better program, and expects a bigger and better at- tendance. This year's reunion, incidentally, will give the Alumni an opportunity to inspect the beautiful new Edmund Hayes hall. One might almost be justified in praying for rain, so that the qualities of the new auditorium may be tested out. But rain or shine, in the words of undergraduate publicity writers, "a good time is assured all." It might not be amiss to remind the Alumni body that reunions now take place on the five-year plan. This year's gathering will bring together members of the classes of 1923, 1918, 1913, 1908, 1903, 1898, 1893, 1888, 1883, and as far back as there are Alumni extant. "Reuners" will join in the Big Paarde irrespective of departments. This wil be an all-university reunion. DEBATERS WIN LAURELS Buffalo may not rank with the Big Ten in athletic prowess, but it has other activities which make the university one to be respected among its sister institutions. The latest claimants to campus fame are the members of the Varsity debate team, which returned a few days ago from a tour of the middle west, during which only two defeats were suffered, and 12 debates the Block B dinner bringing students and alumni together in a spirit of festivity, the were won. need of more cheers and songs is made only The team, composed of Edward J.

Richard W. Boynton, D. D., M. A., '23, president of the general Alumni association, has re-appointed last year's chairman of the general committee in charge, to handle the affairs again this year. Following the mid-year convocation on February 2, a luncheon was held at Kocher's restaurant to outline the plans and get preparations under way. The meeting was primarily for officers and trustees of the departmental Alumni associations. Four presidents, four vice presidents and four secretaries attended. The presidents of the departmental associations were asked to name representatives on the committee who would work actively to insure the hearty co-operation of their departments. Representatives so far designated are Harry M. Weed, M. D., '03; Abram Hoffman, D. D. S., '99; and John T. Horton, '26. Dr. Boynton and Dr. A. B. Lemon, secretary-treasurer of the general association, are indispensable as exofficio members of the committee. The Big Parade The plans call for a luncheon to be served at noon under a tent the same as last year. This will be a standing luncheon giving opportunity for Alumni to circulate and see the largest possible number of fellow graduates in a given time. There will be music by a band and a parade of all the classes, the participants falling in line in order of graduation. This kind of parade has proved in all universities a very interesting way of show ing the Alumni who their brethren really are, besides giving a demonstration to the onlookers of the numbers and character of the Alumni body. Last year the parade led to Rotary field where the Alumni exercises were held with some short speeches and plenty of spirit. This year it is hoped to have chairs or benches in a nearer location. Also, if it should rain this year, the new auditorium in Edmund Hayes hall stands ready for an indoor celebration. - All-Department Reunion A new feature which will be inaugurated this year is a reunion of certain classes (Continued on page 73) k ! is a new HE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION of the University of Buffalo The first general organization but it has already shown great vitality. large Alumni meeting held on the campus last Commencement Day as a the it were impressed by and enthusiastic gathering.

During the past season of 1927, average attendance at football practice was nine men, in spite of the fact that 26 block letters were awarded to different men at the recent Block B dinner. The petition had a two-fold result. It aroused the Alumni and brought recognition to the Boosters' club by the Athletic council along with a request from the council for a meeting with a committee of Alumni Booster members. Committee Meets Council Mr. Magavern and Roswell P. Rosengren, LL. 8., '27, were appointed on this committee and met with the Athletic council and Coaches Carrick and Powell. At this meeting it was shown clearly that it would be football suicide for the university to withdraw from the conference, and that it would materially injure the chances of basketball. Rather than exterminate the successful business of basketball, in an attempt to aid football, on the committee's recommendation the club withdrew its petition. Further meetings of the club have been held, at one of which these directors were elected for a period of three years: Dr. Strohm, Dr. Voss, Mr. Loughlin, Mr. Magavern and James J. Ailinger, D. D. S., 25. Later the following were elected directors for two-year terms: Robert DeCeu, M. D., 99; John A. Napieralski, Ph. G., *18; William E. Bachman, D. D. S., '23; Kent Christy, LL. 8., '24 and Mr. Rosengren. Under the leadership of these directors the club has grown 100 per cent, in membership, the constitution and by-laws have been drawn and plans made for election of five more directors to hold office for a year. Following this election, permanent officers will be elected from among the directors. Arouse Student Spirit The latest phase of the club's work has been to attempt to rouse student spirit not only toward football, but all campus activities. The student lack of interest was scorchingly denounced at the last meeting by Dr. Strohm. The denunciation bore fruit in the splendid spirit and support of the student body at the recent basketball game against Colgate. As to the faculty lack of interest, Chancellor Capen has come out unqualifiedly as being in favor of the continuance of football. On the strength of this, the directors of the Boosters' club look forward to the remedying of the worst feature of the situation. That is the change of class hours in both the college and professional schools so as to give Coach Carrick a football squad to work with in the afternoon when such squads should practice. Would Change Basketball Period Along with this there is an attempt to change the basketball practice period to conform with that of other colleges so men playing in this University of Buffalo sport will be enabled to do so a little later in the evening and have a chance to eat some dinner before. It is ever the object and purpose of the Boosters to make diligent search for desirable young men with athletic ability and encourage them to enter the university. It is a great wonder that the university has been able to do what it has done to date under these tremendous adverse circumstances, but we look forward to a new era when they will all be remedied. The student viewpoint is given by W. Scott Brent, president of the student council and the college, and sports editor of the Iris and the Bee. The knowledge of the conditions under which football exists at the University of Buffalo has caused widespread interest and discontent among the supporters of the university and especially among the students. Some see no remedy for the existing situation save in the abolishment of the sport, but others, who are more optimistic, see a gradual improvement in conditions which will result in better teams and increased spirit and support in the ranks of the students and of the Alumni. The important factor is to discover and remedy, if possible, the causes of the present situation. Everyone knows that a successful team cannot be organized without material, and it has been chiefly the lack of men that has handicapped the coach during the past few years. There are many reasons for this, but several stand out from the rest. Freshman Rule a Handicap The recently enforced freshman rule bars all freshmen from participating in Varsity athletics, and as a result the great majority of the men on the campus have but one year in which to play football, the sophomore year at Arts and the senior year in Pharmacy. After the second year at Arts there is a migration of students, especially men, to the professional schools, and as a result the two upper Arts classes are practically bare of football material. The men at the professional schools are for the most part barred for two reasons, the amount of work required in their courses, and the conflict of the practice sessions with their regular classes. It is difficult to get men enough out for football, and more difficult to keep them out in the face of so many obstacles. On the other hand there are several developments that raise the hopes of those interested, and brighten the outlook for the future considerably.

The most significant and encouraging event that has taken place during the present year is the Block "B" dinner, for at that gathering nearly 1000 men pledged themselves to stand behind football in the future and to endeavor to place that sport in its deserved position in the university. The majority of the students believe that it would be a great mistake to abolish football, and are looking to the Alumni to lend their aid and support in maintaining the sport, and in improving the conditions under which it exists. DEATH RUMOR "EXAGGERATED" In its first issue of the present volume, the Alumni News printed a letter from Byron D. Pierce, M. D., '61, with a comment regarding his death. Just before the following issue went to press, the editor was surprised by a letter written by Dr. Pierce, which proved him to be very much alive.

By Q �Alumni News 9 Block B Dinner Biggest Ever Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg of Chicago University Addresses Gathering of Klearly 1000 DEARLY 1000 Alumni, students and faculty members attended the second annual Block B dinner, at which 36 gridmen and basketeers received letter awards and Amos Alonzo Stagg, famous coach of the University of Chicago eleven, gave a stirring address, on March 6 in the Hotel Statler ballroom. Guests included some of Buffalo's most prominent business and professional men, and most of the members of the university administration. In presenting letters and numerals to the players, Chancellor Capen gave definite assurance of unanimous faculty support for football as a partial remedy for conditions existing for the last several years. Dr. Capen compared the brilliant affair with the first gathering three years ago at which 50 persons gathered to do homage to the teams. He declared the size of the assemblage at the last dinner indicates a renaissance of feeling about athletics at the institution. Stagg Charges Alumni A bigger and better university, both in athletics and in education, was the prediction of Coach Stagg, the speaker of the evening. He dwelt at great length on the difficulty of playing the game under ad- verse conditions. He charged the graduates with the responsibility of boosting their institution, in every way possible. Dean Clarence S. Marsh of the School of Business Administration, as toastmaster, introduced Coach Russel C. Carrick and Coach Arthur L. Powell, who received tremendous ovations from the enthusiastic gathering. Dean Marsh praised the work of Robert P. Dobbie, M. D., president of the Athletic council and general chairman of the dinner, and William J. Blackburn, graduate manager of athletics. High School Players Present High school principals, physical education directors in Buffalo high schools, and captains of teams in the Buffalo high schools and those in Tonawanda, North Tonawanda, Hamburg, Eden, East Aurora, Orchard Park, and Nichols preparatory school, were also guests of honor. High school players were guests of the Beta Pi Rho fraternity. At the speakers' table were Dean Daniel J. Squire of the Dental school; Dr. Harry W. Rockwell, president of the State Teachers' college; Richard L. Cushman, president of the Buffalo Rotary club; Thurston J. Davies, headmaster of the Nichols school; Dean Julian Park of the college; Dr. Charles E. Rhodes, principal of Bennett high school; George F. Fisk, Buffalo commissioner of public works, Jesse C. Dann, Buffalo financier and former battery mate of Coach Stagg on the Yale championship baseball team in the '80s.

DEDICATE SKIFF of Buffalo LABORATORY Dedication of the new Skiff memorial laboratory, an addition to the Warsaw hospital, was the feature event of the 22nd annual meeting of the eighth district branch, Medical Society of the State of New York, October 6. Dr. Harry R. Trick, F. A. C. S., of Buffalo, gave the dedicatory address. The laboratory was dedicated to the memory of George E. Skiff, M. D., '20, who instituted the first medical laboratory in Wyoming country, during the three and a half years he was assistant surgeon in the Warsaw hospital. Dr. Skiff died August 9, 1925, from an infection contracted in the pursuit of his profession. Born in Gainesville, January 21, 1894, a son of Dr. and Mrs. George S. Skiff, he was graduated from the University of Rochester in 1915 and from Buffalo in 1920. After serving his internship in the Buffalo General hospital, he came to the Warsaw hospital in 1921. One half the new laboratory is given over the X-ray apparatus and equipment for diagnosis of malignant diseases. The other half contains the county laboratory. BUFFALO STUDENTS EARN OWN WAY Between 40 and 50 per cent, of the students registered at the University of Buffalo last year were partially or wholly selfsupporting, according to a bulletin issued recently by the Bureau of Education of the Department of the Interior in Washington. There were 2,900 students enrolled last year. Of the 1,773 men students, 709 earned their way partly or entirely, while 450 of the 1,137 women students did likewise. Of the entire enrollment in 408 institutions of higher education in the United States in 1926, 39 per cent, were partially or wholly self-supporting. The total earnings amounted to over $25,500,000. �1 Alumni News What Price Gymnasiums ? ByCKhHearlns., M. D., Professor of Hygiene and Physical Education the present time physical educa- and 4 P.

Gymnastics Necessary Because of the limited indoor space available for physical education activities here and because the work is required of all freshmen, it is necessary that a considerable proportion of this work be of the formal type, ordinarily spoken of as gymnastics. For the handling of this work a technically trained man is absolutely necessary, if we are to make progress or even to avoid danger to the students participating. It was necessary, therefore, in starting to build a staff for handling physical education, that the first man employed be one who was fundamentally able to handle such a program, the thought being that when a second man was put on, which it was hoped we might do beginning the fall of 1927, this second individual would be primarily a coach who would have, in addition, some technical training and knowledge of gymnastics. Inability to finance the employment of a second instructor has made it necessary to throw upon the first person employed a fairly heavy coaching load in addition to carrying on the physical activities required of all freshmen. When it becomes possible to put on a second instructor, it is planned to engage someone who fundamentally is trained in and competent to coach the organized team games, such as football, basketball, and similar sports. Buffalo of a new modern physical education plant, some improvements might be made on this old building, particularly in the way of providing additional locker and bathing facilities, and the installation of safe, mod' ern heating. Up to the present time, lack of funds has prevented these improvements. A modern physical education plant for a co'educational institution located in a climate such as ours, requires at least three main units in addition to ample play fields. First, a gymnasium for men; second, a gymnasium for women; and third, a sizable field house, preferably located between the two gymna' siums and physically connected to the two gymnasiums. The present day gymnasium means more than a single floor space on which basketball may be played. There should be the large floor space which can be used for different types of games by sev eral groups at the same time. Swimming Pool Needed There are also needed lockers and bathing facilities, a swimming pool, small rooms in which may go on boxing, wrestling, fencing, and facilities for handball, and if possible for squash. There should also be in the men's gymnasium special locker and bathing rooms for the home and visiting teama engaged in intercollegiate athletic contests. In the women's gymnasium we need the large floor space and the other facilities of the men's side, except the special rooms for boxing, wrestling, and for intercollegi' ate athletics. The field house is best built with a dirt floor, so that athletic games may be played upon it under as near outdoor conditions as possible.

The exercises were also partly in dedication of the building, which has undergone a marvelous transformation through the munificence of General Edmund Hayes. Walter P. Cooke, chairman of the university council, gave the dedicatory address, and the Rev. Samuel Van Vranken Holmes, D. D., pastor of Westminster Presbyterian church, in the address of the day, paid high tribute to General Hayes, who was his friend and associate in many public causes.

Huff, graduate in pharmacy; and Mrs. Eda B Morey, bachelor of arts. Mr. Cooke Praises Hayes In his dedicatory address, Mr. Cooke said: "The new University of Buffalo, unfolding here on this campus, which is bound to be one of the beauty spots of our city, and offering to the boys and girls of this city the opportunity for development, appeals to the friendly interest and to the generosity of our citizens. "The generosity of one outstanding citi- zen of Buffalo has made possible this splendid building, and we are gathered here today to dedicate it and to honor the memory of Edmund Hayes. "On behalf of the Council of the University of Buffalo, I dedicate this building to the use of the university in its work of education, and I declare our solemn purpose, in memory of the gentleman whose generosity made it possible, that it shall be known as Edmund Hayes hall." CARPENTER GOES TO WASHINGTON Dr. Niles Carpenter has been honored by a call from Washington to establish a bureau of research for studying the cost of medical care. The bureau will be supported by private interests and will consist of 42 members, physicians and economists. Dr. Carpenter has obtained leave of absence for a year. Professor George Newman of the State Teachers' college and David C. Adie, secretary of the Charity Organization Society of Bualo, are taking over his courses. Dr. Leslie A.

And this is quite as it should be. Any college or university worthy of the name is glad to learn from its graduates wherein it may have failed with them, so as to enable it to do better with the students now committed to its charge. But, for the Alumnus to criticize effectively, there is one absolutely essential condition. He must know what he is talking about; and he can do this only by keeping in close touch with his Alma Mater. If he changes, it changes too. If life has made him a bigger and broader man, so also experience may have taught the college something more than it knew when he was there. And there is another reason why the Alumnus should keep in close touch with his Alma Mater —a reason connected with his gratitude for what he received by way of an education. No one else can appreciate as well as he can the ever-growing needs of his Alma Mater, and no one else is under anything like his weight of obligation somehow those needs are sup- to see to it that plied. The situation that I am here describing will to explain the remarkable growth of Alumni activities in connection with American colleges and universities within the last quarter of a century. Alumni clubs, Alumni associations, Alumni reunions, Alumni magazines and Alumni funds have come to play a large and important part in the functioning of practically all live institutions of higher learning. Alumni influence and Alumni helpfulness have begun to show what can happen when the relation of the Alumnus to his Alma Mater is as it should be. serve Beneficiaries Become Benefactors The University of Buffalo, has at the present time over 6000 living Alumni. Within a few years it is certain that this number will be doubled and then trebled. Can there be any question that these thousands of Alumni owe much of what they are in their business or profession, and much of what they have in income or property, to the training for life that they received at this university? What, then, has the university a right to expect from its living graduates? I answer, following only the plain logic of the situation, that having as students been the beneficiaries, they should now as Alumni become in turn the benefactors of their Alma Mater. As students, I say, they were beneficiaries of the university; for it is notorious that no student ever pays more than a fraction of the actual cost of his instruction. But they have been beneficiaries in a larger and more pregnant sense all their lives long. A university training opens windows in us to the many-sidedness of fife, to the opportunities of life, to the possibilities of life, as no other single influence can or does. Morever, reliable statistics show that such training has a definite economic value. It largely increases the earning power of most graduates over the earning power that would have been theirs without it. The average Alumnus would never have been what he is, he would never have done what he has, but for what the university did for him in the days of his youth. These are only a few among a multitude of reasons why he owes to his Alma Mater all the loyalty, devotion and generosity of which he is capable. Buffalo Has Awakened In recent years the University of Buffalo has awakened to the possibilities of effective and helpful co-operation between its 6000 Alumni and their Alma Mater. To be perfectly just, there has been an Alumni organization, the Federated Alumni, for many years in the university, as well as strong Alumni groups in connection with several of the professional schools. But a few loyal and zealous Alumni felt that some' thing more was needed. So about five years ago the Alumni Club of the University of Buffalo was organized, and the fine property at 147 North street was acquired to serve as a center for Alumni sociability and general Alumni activity. One cannot commend too highly the vision and energy of those influential Alumni and citizens who inaugurated this project, or the devoted service and sacrifice of the officers and committees who have carried the club through its first trying years. But where are the hundreds of Alumni in and around Buffalo who ought to join the cluba and have not; or having been members for short time have dropped out? The Alumni club needs, and ought to have, the support of every local Alumnus who cares enough for his Alma Mater to want to keep in touch with it and with his fellow Alumni. Alumni Field Day Two years ago the Federated Alumni were reorganized, with a new and simplified consti' tution, as the General Alumni association. Conspicuous among the activities of the new association was the Alumni field day on the new campus on June 7 last. Several hundred Alumni including the newly graduated Class of 1927, gathered for luncheon, to renew old friendships and form new ones, and to hear addresses from Chancellor Capen and others on the condition of the university. The association plans to hold a similar reunion every year on the afternoon of Commencement day. A special feature will be made of the return of the classes that have graduated at five-year intervals; thus in 1928 there will be reunions of the classes of 1923, 1918, 1913 and so on. Each succeeding year should show a larger and more enthusiastic gathering, as the University of Buffalo grows in strength, in public favor, and in the loyal love of its graduates. No less important than the field day has been the publication, under the auspices of the general Alumni association, of an Alumni 7<lews as a means of contact between the university and its large body of graduates, both near and far (Continued on page 89) �17 Alumni News The Chancellors of the University of Buffalo By John Theodore Horton, '26, Instructor in History and Government, College of Arts and Sciences 111.

They were called, to be sure, the Univer' sity of Buffalo, but in that spirit of unity been expanding and that under Mr. Putnam's successor it would continue to expand, was the common expectation. For that successor, Mr. Wilson Shannon Bissell had won wide reputation as an administrator, and none doubted that his gifts for management he would bring to bear upon the growing problems of the university. The son of John Bissell who had come out of Vermont, and of Isabella Hally, the Phelps Charles Norton fifth chancellor had Chancellor, 1905-1920 been born at New London, Oneida county, New York, in 1847, which characterizes the genuine university and makes of it something more than a mere col' lection of schools they were sadly lacking still. That even their assemblies were separately held, shows strikingly enough how little they conceived themselves to have in common. Nor is it hard to guess the reason. It was not merely that they were situated in different parts of town. So situated are they even today; and yet today their sense of solidarity grows apace; and for this happy growth, it is more than anything the College of Arts, the center and foundation of your genuine university, that is responsible. about four years, had begun his education here but completed it in New England where he had been graduated from Yale.

For 15 years Mr. Norton directed affairs with a vision and a vigor remarkable even in that group of builders3 and when in 1920 he gave up the chancellorship he left the university almost revo- lutionized. Wilson Shannon Bissell pared with his predecessor, Mr. Bissell was a young man still, but in October, 1903, a little more than six months after the death of Mr. Putnam, then in his 85th year, died Chancellor Bissell, only 56, and with what should have been many years of public use fulness before him. Gorham Acting Chancellor Upon the death of Mr. Bissell the chan- Not only with his efforts as vice chancelor, however, did Mr. Norton begin his contribution to the greater university. He had been graduated from Harvard in 1880, had studied for the bar and in 1887, only two years after he had been admitted, had helped found the Buffalo Law school, which during the chancellorship of Mr. Sprague was to become affiliated with the university. Mr. Norton had been interested more than 20 years, but his work here was by no means his significant contribution. Needed a College and Campus Upon entering his vice chancellorship, two tilings there were especially to which Mr. Norton gave attention. If the university were to grow as he desired it should, it must needs have a college. If it were to have a college, it must needs have a campus too, some adequate place where growth would be no longer confined. With the matter of accommodation, the vice chancellor had been busying himself, and in February, 1907, he reported to the council the opportunity for the university to get the fine county property at Main street and the City line, a lofty site, eminently suitable for academic needs. That the University of Buffalo would ever need a campus of 100 acres to more than one worthy person seemed incredible. To raise the $54,300 that the supervisors would demand, to many seemed visionary and impossible. cellorship was not immediately filled; but for nearly two years as acting chancellor, "Little, Forlorn Hope" Realized But the vice chancellor proved indefatigable. George Gorham presided over the university. He was born in the old town of Gallantly heading what has been called a "little forlorn hope"4 he set to work to raise needed Canandaigua in that broad and beautiful sum. He built up a body of some 200thespeakers, who had addressed, before 1907, over a thousand country between Lake Seneca and the Genesee, of which his great grandfather, clubs and organizations. 5 It redounds handsomely to the credit of common citizens that it was they Nathaniel Gorham, with Oliver Phelps, had who made the purchase of the campus possible, that it was to them, to private John and Edward been proprietor. that the vice chancellor and his "little forlorn Mr. Gorham belonged to the New Enghope" were indebted for an answer to their Phillips-Exeter land school.

Alden, the legal adviser of Governor Hughes, on Commencement morning, 1909, the governor signed the bill. A Triumph for Norton That memorable day was one of rejoicing in the university. For the vice chancellor it was a day of triumph. Before the convocation, the council had met and, in the words of Adelbert Moot, had decided that one of their number stood in need of an immediate operation. "Then and there," said he, "Doctors Park, Mann and Cary with the other gentlemen assisting, removed from Mr. Norton the last limping vice he had, and gave to the university, Chan- cellor Norton." 8 Thus far in the promotion of his schemes for the greater university, Mr. Norton had met with little but success. The college, however, in spite of some rather feeble beginnings, had not been established nor were there funds for that purpose yet forthcoming. It was decided to appeal itself for support. In February, 1911, the chancellor laid his plans before the mayor, who heartily recommended Chancellor Norton's proposition to the board of aldermen for favorable consideration. to the city The plan was simple enough,9 calling for an appropriation of $75,000 to be used by the university solely for the payment of instructors. For this grant, the university would bestow ultimately 300 scholarships upon young men and women of the city, who would compete for the honor by examination upon subjects to be designated by the chancellor. The aldermen, however, were disposed to demand more than scholarships in compensation for their grant and dissatisfied with the share of municipal control allotted them by the chancellor's proposed contract, whereby the mayor, comptroller and corporation counsel were to be members of the council ex officio, required that in addition to George Gorham ters of education; to give to every young man and woman, Catholic or Protestant, Jew or Gentile, an opportunity to obtain in Buffalo an education that will fit them for life as well as any which may today be obtained elsewhere by those who have the wealth to procure it. An Unfettered Start "We have inherited this trust from our predecessors who were inspired by the same ambition, and we will not cease our efforts until we have created such a college.... We ask (your support) because, in the language of the immortal Lincoln, ours 'is a struggle for the maintaining in the world that form and substance of government whose leading object is to elevate the condition of men to lift artificial weights from all shoulders, to clear the path of laudable pursuit for all; and to give to all an unfettered start and fair chance in the race of life.' "13 But these aims, lofty as they were, apparently failed to impress the aldermen or to remove their suspicion of bias, and the university's proposal they voted down. That this was a serious reverse there was no mistaking. To the chancellor it was a sore these, the mayor nominate nine others to that body to hold during His Honor's pleasure. 10 Refused Municipal Control This demand the council refused to concede. "The citizens of Buffalo," they said, "want a first class college or none; and the best interests of the city itself demand that the new college be a dignified and efficient institution of learning entirely removed from the perils incident to municipal control."11 But to the statement of the council's case the aldermen were unwilling to pay much heed. Some of them were already prejudiced against it on religious grounds, and seizing upon Dr. disappointment. Nevertheless the cause surRoswell Park's 'History of Medicine" made use vived, nor did the friends of the university of it to show that the university, of which Dr. intend to give it up.

Unless that year were furnished by �University of 20 the university, the Medical school would be forced to depend for it upon outside institutions, for this much was certain, that for want of a few preliminary courses, the school could not afford to sacrifice its rank. Thus were the interests of the oldest department bound up with those of one still only projected; and Chancellor Fillmore's assertion that, "the time has come when such an institution (as a college) is indispensable to the wants and honor of our city," now rang true with a more than ever great significance. Forced to Authorize Arts Course On June 18, 1913, the council met to determine what should be done. In the pre-professional courses which they were now forced to authorize, they saw by no means unwillingly, the possibilities of a Faculty in Arts. Yet being without endowment still, they were constrained to go softly for a little while and to commit themselves only tentatively. Courses in Arts and Sciences they author- Buffalo ized; they began to gather a faculty; but having had, perhaps to struggle for their project over hard, they were not ready yet to designate it a separate department, co-ordinate with the rest. Nevertheless they had now an incipient college on their hands, which, supported by the decrees of the medical association, could hardly return to nothingness, however little as a College of Liberal Arts it might prosper. First Joint Convocation in 1913 On September 22, 1913, the university for th first time held its convocation as a single body The occasion was the 25th anniversary of th founding of the Law school. "At that time,' said Chancellor Norton, "As a member of th Law faculty, I faced an entering class of eight good men and true, a tiny nucleus... .Today as the head of a greatly enlarged and almost com' plete university, I have the fortune to face an entering class of no less than 35, who are willing to try their luck in our youngest depart' ment." (Continued on next page) The esteem in which Mr. Bissell was held may be judged from this editorial comment, T^ews, Oct. 7, 1903: "The mission to Great Britain or a seat on the Supreme court bench would have better met with public expectation." 2 With the Phelps-Gorham purchase, the university is happily linked by two of the chancellors, Charles Phelps Norton being in the fifth generation from Oliver Phelps. 3 A small group of University club members did much to advance the cause of the greater uni versity, and of them mention should be made, to wit: the Rev. Dr. A. V. V. Raymond, sometime president of Union college; Messrs. Fosdick, Upton, R. Templeton, and H. D. Blakeslee, Jr., J. N. Lamed, the historian rendered valiant aid by speech and paper; but for an account of the services of these gentlemen this paper is too brief and readers are referred to Dr. Julian Park's "History," to which all who deal with any phase of university history, will always be indebted.

It was worth all the season's defeats to see the Buffalo quintet battle against a better team.

It is only fair to mention the sterling work and tolerant attitude of Coach Powell. His tiring efforts have fanned the waning spark spirit. He has had one of hardest years. un- of The Coach to His Alumni By Arthur L. Powell, Coach Varsity Basketball The past season has been a disappointing one. It is natural that you should ask why, because our basketball teams are usually so successful. The team started out strong, playing mighty fine basketball against Dartmouth and Cornell, From those games every one had high hopes of another good year. Instead we have just finished a season with the poorest record in years. Hobart beat us for the first time since 1922, and the second time in our history. Colgate also defeated us at Hamilton by the largest score since we have been playing them. Sought Easiest Way The boys at all times showed they knew basketball, but collectively never seemed to h*vf that desire to go out and play a full 40 minutes of basketball. The easiest way out seemed to them to be the best. The squad comprised nine boys, eight of whom never played regularly on a high school team, and two of whom never played the g»me before until their entrance into the univ^rjity. With this inexperienced squad we did not have a single player who had enough f»ith in himself so that by his aggressiveness and intelligence and cleverness of play, he could become an inspiration to the others. How does the future look? It is for you to say. Buffalo has been very fortunate indeed in obtaining the place it now occupies in the basketball world. It has a higher placq than it deserves when the qualifications of its team members are compared with those of its opponents. Many times our guests have better men pitting on the bench as substitutes than we place on the floor as the Varsity. the boys are going to other institutions. Have you ever tried to induce them to enter Buffalo university? The fact that in the past two years, not a member of the freshman class would ever be capable of making the Varsity shows the »ffort, if any, has only been luke warm. Freshman Basketball By Matthew Mayer, Assistant Coach For the season of 1927-28 the University of Puffalo was not represented by a recognised or official freshman basketball team. The freshmen interested in basketball practiced every night with the Varsity squad, and were known and designated as the freshman members of the Varsity squad. As members of the squad the freshmen were initiated into the Powell system of basketball, and instructed in the fundamentals of the game. Our efforts in this respect were directed solely towards familiarizing the freshmen with the type of basketball expected of them as members of the Varsity squad, in the future. Six Loyal Freshmen At the close of the basketball season, this squad consisted of six freshmen, who had loyally attended every practice session, as they had nothing to look forward to in the way of games to relieve the monotony and drudgery of the nightly practice sessions. However, we did have one game on February 10. The Varsity game scheduled for that date was cancelled, so it was decided to let the freshmen play the Nichols school team. This game resulted in a victory for the freshmen, the score being 28-24. As a result of this game we have every reason to believe that our efforts were not in vain, and that the boys had absorbed some of our ideas and notions as to how basketball should be played. We feel confident that the freshman squad of 1927-28 harbors some talent that will bring athletic glory to the University of Buffalo in the next two or three years. The following men were members of the freshman squad: Donald Pusback, Julius Hoffman, Orrin Krehbil, Thomas Syracuse, Ray Siegel and Harold Rudin.

Y. June, 1928 Volume 11. The Dix system Again .. Number 4. Event and Comment Objection to the present fiveplan of reunion has been , , ~ . raised again, this time by TT Henry Adsit Bull, LL.B., '98, chairman of the general reunion for the last two years. According to Mr. Bull, who has discussed the matter seriously with dozens of graduates, there is a notable dearth of Medical and Dental graduates, at the general affair because of attendance at their own fiveyear departmental reunions. The Medical Alumni reunion was held during Commencement week, and though the general affair was allowed for in the program, many doctors felt they had to give some time to their practice, so that only 13 doctors of whom there is any record, were on the campus. The Dental Alumni hold their reunion earlier in the year, but on the same plan. Mr. Bull suggests a general reunion every five years, but falling on years in between those which the professional men hold their affairs. This seems difficult to some, and the modified Dix system has been suggested again, providing for reunions periodically, but each year with a constantly changing personnel. The general idea is to meet those with whom you were in college. Sometimes your class meets those who were two or three years ahead of you; sometimes yours is the oldest group of "contemporaries." Some response as to what the Alumni want might aid the committee in deciding the matter. The Alumni News thanks the editorial staff of the Iris, the university year book, for their kindness in lending cuts for publication during the past year. In the present state of finances, the Alumni News can ill afford to spend much money for pictures. Yet "art" is as vital to its life as text. The Iris graciously allowed the Alumni News to make full use of its library. If our readers can find it in their power, we urge them to subscribe both to the Iris and the Alumni News. Thank * * * Though the resignation from the Templeton facuky of Law of Irving g_ Resigns Templetonj LLR) 09; has been announced, we feel confident it will not mean the termination of his efforts for the university. Mr. Templeton has served faithfully and without monetary compensation, as lecturer on the law of contracts, and some idea of the attitude of both administration and undergraduates, to the resignation, is gained from the letter of regret written by Chancellor Capen, and the resolution of regret passed by the class of 1930. We remind our readers that Mr. Templeton was the first editor of the Alumni News, now just finishing its second year. We, too regret Mr. Templeton's resignation. His endeavor for his Alma Mater was characterized by his unvarying subscription at the end of every letter: "Yours for U. B." Mister < �University of Buffalo 2 In his annual report to the university council, Dr. Edward J. Ph D Moore, chairman of the commitstudy, remarks that appligraduate tee on cations are beginning to pile up for the degree of doctor of philosophy at the University of Buffalo. Is it not, indeed, almost time that facilities were changed to include that department of the fellowship of scholars? Every year brings more brains to the College of Arts and Sciences,and the faculty list begins to look like the roster of a Phi Beta Kappa chapter. One thing, however, is lacking. It is a library where the thirsty scholar may run down the evolution of the dipthong in the Norse tongues, or the origin of christomania. Needless to say, the administration and faculty are doing their level best, but we must be content for awhile to import our Ph.D's. A Plea for the More Faculty Honors Ralph C. Epstein, Ph.D., assistant professor of economics, who received a grant from the American Council of Learned Societies last year, has been honored again this year by the council. He will write another book on the automobile industry, dealing with its history. Julius W. Pratt, professor of American history, received a grant from the same organization. The council each year selects 20 scholars from all over the country and defrays the expenses of their research in special fields. Dean Julian Park of the college recently received the insignia of the palms, the insignia of officier d'academie from President Doumergue of the French republic, on recommendation of the French minister of public instruction.

Why then did you bring me here, knowing that it was closed?" No answer; why, indeed? "Take me then," I say, making a heroic effort at selfcontrol, "to the Palacio hotel." "Very gladly, senor." And off we dash again for several blocks. In answer to our knock the hotel porter draws back the bolts of the heavy wooden door, and admits us to the cheerful patio just as the sonorous bell of the cathedral booms out half past twelve. Coaches of Spartan Simplicity After a day spent in Chihuahua city an early morning train carries me westward into the hills. The train itself is interesting. Behind the ancient engine are several box cars, one of them filled with a guard of troops, who stretch out at ease inside, or sit in the doorways or on the roof, enjoying the ride. Then comes a baggage-express car, and last a coach, divided into first and second class. The former compartment is fitted up as in coaches in the States;the second class section is of Spartan simplicity, with bare wooden benches running down each side and a third backless one down the center. It is Sunday, and the train carries a good load of passengers for upland points. The first class section is fairly filled, the second class is bursting with occupants, like a trolley car in a college town after a football game. Bundles and baskets are everywhere, in the second class section; in the racks, the seats, the aisles. The treasures of Chihuahua shops are being taken to village homes and mining camps—crockery, cheap lithographs and plaster statuettes of the saints, dolls and donkeys of plaited straw, farming tools, all sorts of clothing and brilliantly-dyed cotton fabrics. For a time I sit in a section with an elderly couple and their brother. They work away steadily at a great hamper containing fried chicken, cheese cakes, white and hard, tortillas, University of Buffalo brown forefinger, refills the cup and hands it to the second man, finally drinking herself. No Two Faces Alike The passengers are cheerful and goodhumored, as befits a holiday. The older men have deep-lined, weather-beaten faces,the effect of years in mountain or desert; the women's are thin and sad, pathetically suggestive of years of poverty and toil. Yet no two faces are alike. Some are round and healthy, others coarse and hard, while occasional ones show a gentle nobility, as fine as it is unconscious. The women's clothes are old and nondescript, but they are clean, being washed almost daily, although their owners seldom bathe. Those who can afford them wear shoes and stockings, the rest strap sandals to their bare feet. Over their heads and shoulders are thrown black shawls, rebosos. The one luxury is the wearing of numerous rings and earrings, the latter often of enormous size, reaching to the shoulder. Not all adopt this sober costume; a few of the younger women and older ladies of means and worldy instincts will dress in a gayer fashion. One lady is busily reading the latest Spanish number of "The Mode of Paris." The peon men dress in coarse shirts and trousers of various colors, some plain, some striped; with sandals, and low, broad-brimmed, straw hats. Also, each carries a woolen scrape, generally thrown over one shoulder. In the north these scrapes are plain and nondescript, but farther south in Mexico they would be of a great variety of colors, often very gay; when in addition a colored belt is worn, with a revolver and long dirk each carried in a handsome, tooled-leather holster, the effect is quite dashing, and the man appears as interesting an object as his female companion is commonplace. This situation, characteristic of the highlands of Mexico, is reversed in the lowlands, the tropical section. As he descends from the highlands, the man puts ?ay co'ors> tne woman assumes them. \\rl With this sartorial transformation,there takes place one in character and manner also. Woman is the capable, dominant sex in the tropical regions of southern Mexico; man slinks about as though recognizing the inferiority which he is too shiftless to seek to change. By no means all of the occupants of the second class car are of the peon type, ignorant and uncultivated. As I sit for a time in this section, one neighbor is reading a classic of modern Spanish drama, another a French paper copy of a novel by Anatole France. Nor are these passengers necessarily poor. In some parts of the country the well-to-do prefer to ride first class, both for display, for comfort,and because they dislike germs and dirt. But generally most of those who could afford to pay for first class tickets "ride second class because there is no third," as one railway superintendent remarked to me; and he continued, "When our people do buy a first class ticket they think they are buying a section," referring to the invariable custom and enchiladas. Tortillas, the bread of the Mexican peon, are corn cakes, the size and shape of our wheat cakes, but leathery and rather tasteless. Enchiladas are tortillas soaked in chile, red pepper, and tomato sauce, and wrapped around portions of meat. My companions munch audibly, with gusto, licking their fingers and wiping them on the cloth that covers the basket. When they have finished,the good wife produces a brown jug filled with goat's milk. Dipping a small earthen cup into this, she passes of travelers to occupy two entire seats, reclining it to her companions; one drinks, after which the at ease in the one, stowing their feet and lugwoman rinses the inside of the cup with her gage in the other. �Alumni News 5 Nearly Always Courteous The occupants of the first-class dress as in Mexico City or the more backward sections of the United States,for most middle class Mexi- Stamping Ground of Villa Towards this western valley our train is headed; at the far end is Casas Grandes our destination.

Then the train from the north, carrying some 40 civilians, men, women, and children, in addition to a detachment of troops, plunged at full speed into the tunnel; somewhere in the center a crash occurred and every soul faced about a little patio, its rooms on a level with the ground. A pleasant-faced woman let me in and offered me the best she had, a plain but tolerably furnished room at the front of the house; the price was 75 centavos (37£ cents) for roofs of thatch, alternated with flat-roofed onestory houses of brown adobe brick, the facades plastered smoothly and tinted a pale pink, a vivid blue, or a lemon yellow. Behind each house was a small garden, or more generally a corral or carriage yard, surrounded by a mudbrick wall.

Five miles from the growing railway town lies Casas Grandes (great houses), a little village whose ruins are seldom visited, even by archaeologists. They are insignificant enough when compared with the' great prehistoric cities of central Mexico, but are interesting none the less. For according to tradition this city was one of the early homes of the Aztecs, founded by them between 1160 and 1170, that is, between the Second and Third Crusades. �Alumni News 7 Ruins of a Village Ten rounded hillocks rise some 25 feet above the valley floor, near the river. Only two mounds, the largest, have been opened; these are about 200 feet in diameter, and the excavations have been carried on rudely, parts of the ruins still being covered, others removed by the nearby peons to aid in the erection of their homes. But enough remain to make out in each mound a community house with a number of connecting rooms; while one large pile of adobe, once a corner of the structure, still stands some 25 feet high, a monument to the one-time size of the whole. The unchanging character of Indian life impresses the visitor. These buildings are of mudbrick, sun-dried, chocolate brown in color. Near by are modern huts and farmhouses, appearing identical in construction. At close range, the only noticeable difference is in the bricks used, the ancient brick being thicker and more durable than the modern, just as the primitive Indian was often a finer product than his descendant. This "city" probably contained 3000 to 5000 Indians. Other smaller ancient villages are scattered for miles up and down the valley, and on the summit of the highest peak, five miles to the southwest, are the remains of a large watch tower. In our mind's eye we can see those ancient Indians moving about the Casas Grandes valley, living in their mud houses and tilling their corn fields just as the peons do today, while the warriors upon the watch tower stood guard over them all My visit at Casas Grandes over, I was ready to retrace my route to Chihuahua city. I took care to reach the station in time for the southbound train, knowing that there were only three trains a week. However, the train was late, and the station agent was politely but placidly ignorant as to when, if ever, it would arrive. A Mexican Guard At sunset the train approached, three hours late. Following the custom, the local guard turned out in review. First, an officer gave the command; a half dozen uniformed, sandalled trumpeters appeared, formed in line, raised their bugles to their lips. Then, with all the pride of Chanticleer,they blew, and the call reverberated from the distant hills; again and again they blew, for a Mexican bugle call is long and complicated. The squad of poorly-drilled troops now marched out, formed in line, and presented arms as the train pulled into the station; then the call "Fall out" was given, and the troops filed into the guard house for supper. The train was of the customary mixed type: ten box cars ahead, one of them carrying the guard, then a baggage-express car, last a composite coach. In the first class section I found six passengers—three men, two pretty young women, sisters, and an American mine foreman, a vigorous middle-aged man, of that capable, kindly type that is the salt of the earth. For a time all went well. Darkness soon settled upon us, for night comes early in those mountain valleys. We were due at our terminus, Madera, at 11:30, but had the pleasant prospect of arriving around 3 A. M. instead. So we made ready to curl up in the stiff, old-fashioned seats. The car was old, and had not been cleaned, apparently, for some years. Overhead a single oil lamp flickered unsteadily, dimly. Mentally we pictured Pullman cars, with their cheery electric lights, radiators and running water, berths seeming now as soft as any house bed, and exclusion of the dirty rabble which at every stop invaded the train to beg, sell, or simply enjoy the luxury of being in a car!. A Train Wreck at Night The lurching and jerking of the train in the darkness announced that we had entered the great gorge which we were to follow for miles in the ascent of the Cumbres. At Pearson we took on a second locomotive, sandwiched in between the box cars. As comfortably as possible we arranged ourselves for the night, tucked our necks over the wooden arms of the seats, and were dozing off when suddenly the brakes were applied and we pulled up with a violent jerk. There was shouting of trainmen, much waving of lanterns, and general confusion. The second engine and four box cars had gone off the track while rounding a curve, and we were now leaning against the cliff; on the opposite side of the track the bank sloped off sharply to the creek not far below. After three quarters of an hour had passed and the trainmen had sat around and discussed the matter from all angles, they decided to do a little work. We passengers loudly argued that the engine and two box cars at the head of the train be used to convey us to our destination, but the trainmen decided otherwise. The nearest town was ten miles back and had no hotel, so we must remain where we were. Like Buffalo Weather By this time we were dead sleepy, and curled up for good. The cold air of the highlands blew through the car, for some of the doors and windows refused to close. The young ladies had brought blankets, anticipating a possible all-night journey, but we men had brought neither blankets nor overcoats, having been deceived by the balmy air of the desert plains. Here the chill and wind were those of March in Buffalo. But I could console myself with recollections of nights spent in coaches on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and on the Soconusco coast near Guatemala. There whenever the train came to a stop the hot and humid air seemed suffocating, and through the screenless windows poured hosts of lady mosquitoes, laden with germs of tropical malaria. The peons (our second class passengers were all of this type) seem able to sleep through anything, and in any posture. Several slept with feet out of the window; one with his head on the floor and his legs draped up the back of the seat toward the ceiling; a third curled himself around the cold stove on the floor. The only woman among the second class passengers, a �University of 8 peon of middle age, with true Spanish dignity wrapped her head and shoulders in a black mantle and slept sitting stifly erect on the hard bench. The next morning the relief engine towed our coach back to town, where we breakfasted with a Chinese restaurant keeper. Of the seven first class passengers, the two older Mexican men were taciturn and unsocial; the other five of us— Buffalo huahua, but to our disgust we learned that this train had left the previous morning; it was now early Sunday morning; the next train would leave on Tuesday. So my party, reduced to four (for the other travelers put up at peon shacks in the village), became guests at the primitive hotel, and turned in for a few hours sleep. In the morning we found that we might have been delayed in a far worse place. Madera is the American mine foreman, and I, had struck White Sulpher Springs, without the fine hotels. up an acquaintance in that informal way which The geographical setting is the same—a beautiful is one of the charms of traveling in any pioneer meadow, surrounded by a circle of pine-clad hills.

That afternoon the track was repaired, but friendly Bostonian, and his light-hearted wife, a characteristically the trainmen did not send back Chihuahua girl, were eager for companionship for us until the last tie had been replaced, so and entertained us with their best. They gave that two added hours were wasted before we us two parties at their home, inviting other local reached the place of the accident.

Night fell while we were in the heart of it, though, and when nearly midnight our good friend the miner left us. He dropped off at a mountain siding where his mozo (attendant) was waiting to escort him on a twenty mile horseback ride by night over the mountain trails; his wife had been managing the camp for ten days, alone with a group of peons. Off the Track Again Hardly had he left when our train was derailed again, while toiling up the mountain side to the summit, but this time only a car or two went off the track at a curve, and the damage was repaired within an hour. A real wreck here would have been more serious; the mountain rose 1500 feet beside us, while the narrow, twisting bench along which our train was climbing was cut 300 feet above the creek, which we could hear below, but could discern only dimly, because of the blackness. Finally at 3 A. M., our train, now quite filled with passengers, arrived at Madera. Here we were to have met the connecting train for Chi- rades and I gave them a dinner in return at their own hotel. Chinese Cooks Superior The meals in this primitive backwoods inn were among the best in Mexico, owing to the exceptional pains taken by the manager, and to his having Chinese cooks, who are invariably superior to Mexican. "They have been with me," he said, "for 15 years, and would you believe it? they have saved every centavo of their pay. One of our cooks returned to China a few months ago. He was seventy years old and the ugliest man I ever saw, but he is one of the rich men in his native village. According to information my men have just received, soon after his return he married a girl of 15, whose parents eagerly arranged the match." On the next train for the south we left Madera, reaching Chihuahua city at 4 o'clock of the morning following, nine hours late. next night I was on a Pullman bound for The cen- tral Mexico. My glimpse of the northwestern frontier was over. �Alumni News 9 Capen Stresses University's Needs Chancellor's Report Issued With Those most pressing need of of Other Officers "But while the university's needs are great the Univerapparent to all, its progress has been consity of Buffalo is for an increase in and spicuous and its prospects are full of promise. its endowment funds, and new buildings Money has come to it more rapidly than could been foreseen a few years ago.

Squire, D.D.S., '93 At the Annual Meeting of the Dental Alumni Association Abstracts HORTY years ago a progressive educational movement was inaugurated to prepare the prospective dental student to understand a type of technical education, a movement which has beenfar reach- ing and uplifting in its results. The constant influx of a higher type of intelligence into the ranks of dentistry has develop- ed within the profession a broader vision of the field of dental operations, which is being reflected in a gradual elevation of standards. The conclusion of research in regard to infectious diseases demands material changes in the future practice of dentistry. Henceforth, the value of dentistry will no longer be measured by a delicate technical skill in the conservation of human life, but by a thorough knowledge of those aspects of general disease which interfere with the vital processes we call normal function. Dentistry will not receive from medicine any particular attention or respect, until dental pathology becomes a part of curricular study. The vital relationship of dentistry to medicine can only become a living, co-operative thing through the recognition which pathology alone can give and which will enable the physician and the dentist to understand and to speak the same language. It is not possible for them to do so at the present time. The medical and dental student of the future should travel together for a considerable distance, the same road of professional study, in order that they may inter- Dr. Daniel H. Squire together the principal features and changes in the landscape, as it broadens before their vision and only in the detail of the prospectus do their paths separate. pret The time has arrived when dentistry should become a branch of medical science. The future relationship of centers of medical training will consist of. a medical and a dental school in actual contact with a hospital, located in the same building. It has already arrived. These three features with their ramifications constitute the so-called health center. Why should they longer remain in separate buildings in the university? It is not economic from the standpoint of construction and maintenance of buildings nor in the instructional cost of teaching to conduct them separately. �University of Buffalo 12 When dentistry takes her place amongst the specialties of medicine, it does not mean that the medical degree is even anticipated. The dental degree is honored and respected and it is only to glorify it, that a foundation in medicine is sought. The scope of the basic course, or foundation study, should be of sufficient breadth to give the physician and the dentist an appreciation of their relationship in the healing of the sick. It should furnish a background of medical and dental knowledge upon which neither practitioner might focus in arriving at a co-operative diagnosis, as it deals with actual general conditions and not with special methods of practice. We should both understand the basic factors concerned in disease. Dentistry's Disappointment All specialties of health service have their inception in the fundamental course of medicine and this was formerly true of dentistry in the beginning, but during the last century she has expanded her effort in creating and improving a marvelous type of technical skill and has consequently met with disappointment. The demands of health service today make it imperative for medicine to offer to dentistry the same privileges which she so graciously extends to other special lines of medical practice. Moreover, medicine cannot longer maintain an intellectual attitude before the public without stressing the importance of a healthy oral cavity. A basic medical course of instruction considering the regions of the body and dealing with their conditions as expressed in body functions would meet the situation because such knowledge would establish a common working field from which the several specialists of medicine including dentistry, might determine their particular form of technic and methods of practice. Furthermore, there should be a broad and com Like Father, Like Daughter Miss Eugenia Lucille Fronczak, who was graduated this year with the degree of doctor of medicine, is the second product of the Medical school in her family. Her father, Health Commissioner Francis E. Fronczak, was awarded the same degree 31 years ago. Miss Fronzcak won her A.B. at D'Youville college in 1923, and her M.A. from Canisius in 1924. Her father has degrees not only from the university and Canisius college, but also from Warsaw and Krakow, Poland, as well as other institutions of higher learning. prehensive vein of knowledge upon which the various specialists might focus and use a background for the exchange of ideas relative to the determination and treatment of such a disease. Medical and dental education does not now provide for the intelligent interchange of thought in co-operative diagnosis. A New Three-Year Course The present two-four plan of dental education is not economic in point of time nor in expenditure of money and these objections may be overcome by the application of the four quarter plan. It consists of four quarters of 11 weeks each or 44 weeks for each calendar year. These quarters are equally separated allowing two weeks of vacation after each quarter and maintaining a daily schedule of seven hours. The four quarter plan will reduce the present two-four year plan to a two-three year plan without a reduction of the scope, the theoretical, the technical nor the clinical progress of the present two-four plan. In fact, it offers much greater clinical advantages. It may be argued that it is essential and necessary to allow the dental student to have a long summer vacation in which to earn money toward his college expenses, yet when this privilege is measured by the interruption of his progress in the correlation of the mind and hand, it is not economic. Moreover, the time spent in the review of the work which is necessary to meet the delinquencies in technical training during the summer vacation period alone, is an added expense in curricular instruction. It it also a costly experiment for the student who has lost this valuable opportunity for advancement, on account of a broken contract with the technical environment, and futhermore, the present two-four year plan permits of an unnecessary financial burden of an additional college year to be placed upon the student. Again, the physical equipment of an instruction should be kept in use. The continuation through the summer of the infimary practice and the consequent contact with hospital services will add greatly to the educational resources of the institution. REUNION OF '82 AND '83 The classes of 1882 and 1883 held a joint reunion at the Alumni club, 147 North street, June 4. At the party were Dean Willis G. Gregory, M. D., '82, James W. Putnam, M.

The reunion of the class of '82 has become a regular yearly event, according to Dr. Long. There were 65 members in the original class.

For the majority of you the pursuit of formal and regular education which has been your principal occupation for years is now ended. A complete change in your activities, your position with reference to your associates, and the immediate goals that you seek now takes place. Not so very long ago it used to be common to designate these years of schooling which you have just completed as preparation for life. The inference was that life itself was postponed until this preparation was over. Nobody now believes anything so absurd. V^J Life you have already had with a richness and a consciousness of its power and intensity, that will probably not for any of you be surpassed. But the external setting of this dangerous and exciting adventure of living will henceforth be totally different. It is that which gives this moment its solemnity. You look across an imaginary line, a line drawn now at your very feet, and you would be dull and insensitive indeed if you did not speculate on what is beyond it, if you did not, as it were, gather up into one cosmic picture your hopes of felicity, your ambitions of achievement, your vision of yourself in a world that is yet to be. If one could at this instant look into all your minds and see as.you see them, the images that are there, he would have the materials cut of which to create a score of Utopias. He would look upon the vivid stuff of which great poetry is made and if he were a poet he might do you justice. Such clairvoyance no one has. But even the earthbound eyes of us, your friends and connections can see that the visions are there. We can feel that you are all for a brief hour polarized in a single direction. Because we feel it, because in the oldest and truest sense of the word we are in sympathy with you, this occasion becomes for us all one of high emotional tension. fullness of experience, with Life's Advice is Best This hour is its own consecration and you, of us, should be its interpreters, although tradition has it that you should be silent and that one of us should speak. Surely I cannot add to its portent. Nor am Iso fatuous as to believe that any advice I might offer would be either welcomed or followed. Ido not think much of advice under any circumstances; and quite the least valuable sort of advice is that which is offered unsolicited. The only form of not one advice that is really persuasive is that which is given us by life itself. Life has been advising you since you expcreinced the first glimmerings of consciousness. For several years the life you have lived has been ordered largely by an artificial routine, the routine of the university. That routine has been advising you. The advice has been easy to understand, if not always easy to take. But behind the routine of requirements, and courses, and class meetings lies something less patent yet more significant. I might call it the meaning of the university or, if you will, the soul of the university. This, too, I hope, has been truly a part of your life. If so it has been silently and unobtrusively giving you counsel. University Has Complex Meaning The meaning of the university is complex and extensive. If I could put it into words at all I could not fully expound it in the few moments that we have here together. But one part of this meaning is so commonly misunderstood or ignored, both by university people and by others, that I have thought it might be worth while for me to try to state it to you as my parting message. The organization of society in the modern democratic state is based on the tacit assumption that every mature, healthy citizen is performing some task useful to the whole body, or at least desired by it. That is the assumption. It is subject, of course, to many exceptions. There are in all societies parasites and predatory animals. These live off society. They do society more or less harm; sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on their numbers and their appetites. But after all the tacit assumption is substantially correct. The overwhelming majority of sound adults do carry on some beneficial activity which promotes the welfare or the enjoyment of the group as a whole. Certain activities require for their competent performance much special information,or a high degree of skill, or both. It is to prepare people to perform these that the higher schools are set up and maintained. Society needs doctors and lawyers and teachers. Universities Prepare for Service It needs persons familiar with the intellectual methods and possessed of the information that are essential to other less definitely technical callings. Universities have proved to be the most effective agencies for getting people ready to serve society through these callings. That is why universities exist, why they multiply, why they grow. This fact seems not to be clear to every one. Among those who occasionally overlook it may be included certain patrons of universities, a few students and, I think, the majority of �Alumni News 15 parents. Some of the founders of universities some of those responsible for their support have not always been conscious of any such socially utilitarian purpose as I have indicated. They have made gifts or voted public money to universities chiefly because they were eager to help deserving and capable young people to get on in the world. Their motives have been and philanthropic and their philanthropy has had in view the happiness of individuals as individuals without reference to society at large. Some students, likewise, have regarded the opportunity to secure a university training, which society affords them for its own ends, very much as the person who finds a gold mine in the desert regards his discovery. They have' considered it as sort of provision of nature that they were at perfect liberty to exploit for their personal advantage without any obligation to make return. Not Created for Personal Fortunes I suppose parents can be forgiven for not thinking very much about society when they secure for their children the privilege of higher education. The children's success in life is naturally uppermost in their minds. That abstract thing we call society hardly occurs to them at all. Nevertheless, in spite of the failure of many of the interested parties to appreciate the reason for the existence of universities, the reason is plain to anyone who will take the trouble to look for it. Universities are social institutions, among the influential and the most necessary of social institutions. However they are supported, they are public institutions. They are here to" promote the welfare of the mass of the people and not to advance the personal fortunes of any individual or of any favored group. Society is moved to contribute to their support because the most conspicuous result of their operations is the production of certain skills essential to civilised group living. If it should cease to be so they would probably disappear. most referring—l propose to discuss more fully. But by way of background let me note some of the others. The university deals with immaterial things, yet it cannot deal with them without substantial material equipment, and the more effectively it prosecutes its task of dealing with the immaterial the greater its material necessities become. Both Democratic and Aristocratic The modern university is a very complex mechanism. Therefore,it requires organization. And yet a really efficient organization, such as is essential to the success of a business enterprise, destroys it. The university is at once democratic and its aristocracy are in fact both absolute. It recognizes no distinctions of race or creed or sex or rank or wealth in selecting its membership. Nor is any social distinction recognized among its members, once they are selected. But its membership is strictly limited to those who possess a certain superiority of intelligence. The university is both conservative and iconoclastic. One part of its mission is to preserve the past, to demonstrate that the world was not made yesterday and that many alleged new revelations are neither new nor revelations. On the other hand it is equally concerned with the future,with the discovery of new truth and with the refutation of old beliefs when the new truth shows them to be untrue. Is it any wonder that universities are both revered and suspected? To the thoughtful person they seem to be inexhaustible reservoirs of human power subtly molding events in the interest of social progress. To the timid person and to the person who is satisfied with things as they are, universities look like dangerous engines of destruction. And, paradoxically again, both views are correct. Not Anti-Social Individualism But to return to the major paradox which I have set out to discuss. Society maintains universities to satisfy its need for certain expert services. Universities can exist only as they fulfill a social function that takes no account of A Mass of Contradictions actual work This is both a bald and superficial statement. individuals as such. And yet the The Let me hasten to qualify it. If the reason for of universities is with individuals. They interest live in the existence of universities is to provide society of universities is in individuals. with the services of engineers and pharmacists and through individuals. More than that, they and dentists and business executives and other are committed to the cultivation of individualism. Those by-products that I have called their professional persons, that is not the sole justification for their existence. I believe they would most valuable contributions are the supreme exbe justified if they trained no professional prac- pression of individualism. Universities are in titioners at all. fact, the strongholds, perhaps the last remaining I believe, and I hope you agree with me, strongholds, of individualism. Can this paradox be resolved? I think so, and that the best things that universities do are quite simply. No doubt many of you have rather schools. training unrelated to their function as done it for yourselves. But I will venture to best new things they society ideas, The are give truths, points of view, a sense of values. But give you my explanation. The kind of individualism that universities these, although the finest products of universities, are by-products and must remain so. Few endeavor to create and to fortify is not antiuniversities would be supported because of them. social. It is anything but anti-social. It is indi-of Indeed, the university is the great paradox vidualism exercised with a high consciousness of our time. It is a mass of contradictions. One social obligation. At its best it is the most of these—the one to which I have just been difficult form of social service. �University 16 Ideal of Service Surely to you who have dwelt with us for several years I do not need to say that the university has always held before you the ideal of service. Implicit in all the university's teaching has been the thought that the genuine satisfactions of life are to be found not in material rewards but in creative activity carried on for the benefit of others. Everybody who embraces a professional calling dedicates himself in advance to a career whose motive is primarily altruistic. Great financial returns may come, but not the main objective. these are incidents and Indeed, it may be truly said that the university measures success in other terms than those employed by the world at large. Success to the university means growth in knowledge and wisdom and goodness and usefullness. It means—the behaviorists to the contrary notwithstanding—faithfulness to ideals. It means the respect of one's fellows. Whether or not these are accompanied by worldly prosperity is in the eyes of the university of no sig- nificance. How Achieve Success? Does this sound like sermonizing? I do not so intend it. Indeed I am not exhorting you. I am stating what most of you will recognize as axiomatic. And I repeat these well-worn ideas only that we may see their bearing on what is perhaps to you, and certainly to many of your less obvious. fellow-citizens, Assuming that one wishes to succeed as the university would define success, how shall he go about it? By being a servant of society of course—that's in the bond—but by being a very peculiar sort of servant, the sort of servant who does not do what the master thinks right but what he himself thinks right. May I stress two words in what I have just said. The words are 'think' and 'right.' The sort of servant I believe every university graduate should strive to become is one who thinks about his conduct and his attitude in all his social and professional relations, and who adopts the attitude and the line of conduct that are right for him because his best thought tells him so. That sort of servant is not going to please society all the time. Much of the time he is going to displease it seriously. But in the end he is going to be the most useful servant because his service will represent what is most individual and characteristic in him, uncolored by imitation or expediency, because he will be himself. That is the kind of individualism for which the university stands. World Ruled by Opinions Let me try to make concrete the situations that the resolute individualist will have to meet. The world is ruled by opinions. Opinions form the most potent element of our environment. Every profession, every calling, every social relation is governed by a weight of opinion. How far the current body of opinion controls us we seldom realize until we stop to analyze it. For instance, what else is style, in clothes, in of Buffalo furniture, in houses, in motor cars? Style is the prevailing opinion with regard to external forms of things. Who thinks of resisting it? Who will wear a broad hat when narrow hats are in fashion,or long skirts when short skirts are the thing? Or what but opinion is the political dogma of the moment in any party? And if you dwell in a one party community how easy is it to oppose the opinion? Phobias Are Mass Opinions Are our manners and our common amusements anything but the expression of the contemporary opinion concerning the way to behave in company and the way to have a good time? Or take the phobias that sweep the land like epidemics, the supersition prevalent a few years ago that there was a red conspiracy to overthrow the United States, the odium attaching to quite respectable words like 'radical* or 'pacifist* that has turned them into terms of condemnation, the recurrent spasms of virulent religious bigotry culminating in actual persecutions, the absurd fear of foreign entanglements which for some time prevented the United States from behaving like a gentleman, the dread of the free expression of conflicting views on public policy which has led to the preparation of blacklists by large and influential groups of citizens. What are these but varieties of mass opinion? Or what after all but opinion is even much of the prevailing mode of practice in most professions? Student Opinion is Ruthless A great many forms of medical treatment or of legal procedure, the prevailing methods of teaching or of advertising are followed by the majority of practitioners because they represent the consensus of professional opinion. Or carry the matter nearer home. Why do undergrad- uates cheer in unison? It seems to Europeans a very singular way to express enthusiasm. Why were all freshman once hazed and why are they not any more? Why do they have to wear ugly caps? Student opinion has so decreed. And student opinion is ruthless with dissenters. One might go on multiplying instances indefinitely. The pressure of the opinions of the mass is unescapable. They beat upon us from every side. They merge into a great current the drag of which is almost irresistible. You may ask whether the university advocates resistance to it. Indeed it does—with reservations. It depends, of course, on what the opinion is and how it is arrived at. How are most of the opinions which sweep over the surface of a democratic society arrived at? Political opinions, for instance; high tariff or low tariff, League of Nations or splendid isolation; retention or repeal or the 18th amendement, large or small navy, hands on or hands off Latin America, McNaryHaugenism or laissez-faire for the farmers,restriction of immigration or the open door. 30,000,000 Voters Have Opinions Some 30,000,000 people are going to record opinions on one side or the other of most of these questions within the next few months. �Alumni News How will they acquire these opinions? Are the opinions they will register going to be the product of their own thinking? The question answers itself. Most of the 30,000,000 will follow their inherited party or the prejudice of their neigh- broken rocks. And he who treads it will walk often on bleeding feet. I hope I have not conveyed the impression that the individualist, the kind of individualist the university strives to create must be a canborhood. tankerous person.

That campaign had been a new experience in the life of Buffalo. And that it had brilliantly succeeded2 is among the most important facts in the history, not only of the university, but of the city too. Gathered from thousands of ritizens, in sums both great and small, with Orrin Foster's gift exceeding the largest in the old campaign 400 times, the endowment fund bore witness to the confidence and esteem in which Mr. Cooke was held, and what is even more important, to the now fast growing confidence in the Univer sity which Mr. Cooke as chairman of the rated seventh chancellor of the University of Buffalo.

A matron starting from the crowd of spectators, caught something of the significance of the day when she cried out, rather hysterically perhaps, some half coherent thing about this day as the greatest that council represented. Buffalo had ever seen. More soberly, but By this fund a truly ambitious program in a similar strain the public prints reof expansion had been made possible.

Buffalo in welcoming him will also pledge itself to stand solidly behind him in carrying his great work to success."3 The Express's opinion of Dr. Capen the people of Buffalo were ready and willing enough to accept. It was pleasing to them that such a man should say, "That more than 24,000 citizens from a city of half a million inhabitants should be willing to help support a university is an event without parallel in American educational history."* But pleased as they were, they were yet unable to appreciate the full value of the compliment. President Livingston Farrand of Cornell might well remark of Dr. Capen, "He has more knowledge and more accurate information regarding educational matters than any other man in the United States;"6 but that would be the opinion of an expert and what the expert knows, the layman can but were turning, in their embarrassment, to the Government of the United States for counsel and suggestion. That government through Dr. Capen, devised a technique of investigation, and in every part of the country, in Alabama and in Washington, in North Carolina and in Oregon, in Nevada and in lowa, in Arizona and in North Dakota, undertook minute surveys of universities to bring to light the defects and remedies for which the states were looking. Of all of these surveys, Dr. Capen was himself in charge. If therefore a university is a corporation as it it, and like any other corporation, must be managed with efficiency to produce the best results, then the seventh chancellor, as his council well knew, was more than qualified to give the lead. He was himself an expert inefficiency and in the ultra-modern technic of efficiency-engineering. Aided in the Great Work Moreover the war had added richly to his experience. It is a commonplace that wars have been always waged by civilians as well as by soldiers but never was that commonplace so strikingly brought home as in the War of 1914. Soldiers it is who still bask in whatever of the glamor modern war still holds, but quite as indispensable to victory as the crack-shot and the deft plier of the bayonet, is the simple artisan. To train him quickly becomes in time of war a major undertaking of government; and in this undertaking Dr. Capen played no insignificant awkwardly conjecture. part.

Some five years later the prog"The ress of it he reported to the council. university," he said, "has sponsored nothing more progressive, nothing more unconventional �2 than the plan for the conduct and development of the College of Arts and Sciences.—The college does not admit all high school graduates.

It was evident that a college was being created genuinely inspired with the love of learning—not of professional learning either, but of the learning that is called liberal and humane. This was indeed a report of progress. In making it, however, the chancellor did not fail to note that his program had provoked some criticism, chiefly because it tended toward a certain exclusiveness. Nevertheless, declared he, "my colleagues of the faculty and I have no doubts as to its wisdom. We believe that a college is in the making here which will add to the renown of the city far more than would the creation of another institution of the conventional type. We believe that a college is in the making which will serve the community better. It is a trite saying that a college is an institution for the discovery and training of leaders.—The college which gives these future leaders a training which is up to the full measure of their capacity, and which prepares them for their future pursuits in an atmosphere of genuine intellectual endeavor, which offers them objectives worthy of mature men and women—such a college best serves its community and its time." So he defended his program with confidence. "The educational world," he said, "recognizes the contributions (the university) has made to scholarship and to the solution of certain of the most difficult educational problems of the day. Its older professional schools and its new colleges have acquired standing and influence throughout the country. "These are solid achievements, an earnest of still greater achievements in the future.

University of Buffalo in them. Both the council and the community may feel assured that a university is growing under their hands and with their support which is worthy of the city whose name it bears."25 Thus spoke the seventh chancellor, looking back upon the first five years of his administration—an administration which had brought forth into vigorous life the high hopes of his distinguished predecessor, the first chancellor, uttered some 80 years before. Fillmore had asked his fellow citizens how long it would be necessary to send their sons for a liberal education to the East. Were he to have stood this June upon the commencement platform, he would have seen that the necessity was indeed past; but the diplomas that he would have handed out would have represented something far different,something far more calculable and difficult than any similar diplomas of his own day—diplomas which however classical, he, with his delightful simplicity would have no doubt refused steadfastly to present in a Latin speech.

Buffalo,New York My dear Mildred: It surely was too bad you had to miss the Arts Alumni dinner June 4. It was quite a success, I believe, and so many people were there I learned heaps of news. Things are changing on the campus. You knew Alice Schutt, '25, is in the Arts office. Emma Deters has just been appointed registrar of the whole university, a splendid promotion for her and one she deserves. The first of July Dorothy Day, '24, is to be out there in the office also, doing secretarial work for various members of the faculty. They all seem so official in the fine new offices of Hayes Hall. Next year at the reunion I think it would be wise to have a nursery so fond parents could come and leave their children for a few hours. Several were unable to come the other night because of their young hopefuls. Of course you remember Marian Hersheiser, '25, who married Sidney Robinson. I hear Sidney, Jr., has two teeth. I always wonder if Hershey sings him to sleep with "A Preacher Went a-Hunting." Sara Rice-Carter,'23, and Clifford, have been busy since March taking care of young Ruth Helene. Unlike most girls she does not seem to gain weight fast. Katherine Whittlesey Kunz, '23, also has a baby girl—Elizabeth Ann. I hear that Ed and Evelyn Hoffman has a fine, sturdy lad. Do you remember Carlotta Bartoo, who started with the class of '24, then transferred to a southern college She has a young son, John Bartoo Loveland. The first was a girl, Nancy Leigh. Marion Hunt Burnet has two, also. The older, a boy, is three, and the little girl about a year old. Doesn't it make you feel old, though, with this younger generation coming in. The stork surely has been busy. Are your plans all made for summer school? I see Dorothy Summey, '27, is to teach there. Do write we all about it. There seems to be a mighty exodus to Europe this summer. Beside all the faculty members who are going or have gone, Ada James is conducting a party on the continent.

With love, PEG THE SPORT SIDE BY GORDON A. HAGUE, '25 Some 15 years ago the university boasted a baseball team, and a good one, but the lateness of the season in this part of the state necessitated the discontinuance of that activity. As a result interest in sports takes a decided drop after the close of the basketball campaign. During the past two or three years, however, the physical education department, under the direction of Dr. Keene and Mr. Niel, has fostered a program of minor-sport activities which has served to carry over undergraduate interest until the end of the school year. The fifth annual Moving Up day track meet was held at Nichols field, May 5. Although the weather was not favorable to a good attendance or good track performance, the meet proved to be the best since the activity was inaugurated. The team representing the Arts college won the meet with a total of 48 points. The schools finished in this order: Arts, 48; Law, 30; Arts Freshmen, 21; Pharmacy, 6; Dents, 3. As a result the Arts college retains possession of the trophy awarded by the Beta Pi Rho fraternity. * * * In addition to track activities, tournaments in boxing, wrestling and tennis have been promoted during the spring season. * * * Athletics at the university are no longer confined to the sterner sex. At the Moving Up day exercises athletic medals were awarded to ten girl students. These awards signified proficiency in basketball, baseball, tennis, swimming and hiking. * * * As a parting word to the Alumni —again we say that you could help to improve athletics in your Alma Mater by interesting that leading home-town athlete in your university. �26 Pharmics See Detroit Seventy-six members of the senior class in Pharmacy, made a visit to the laboratories of Parke, Davis & Co., early in May, under the guidance of Dean Willis G.

Seneca 5856-5857 The ALUMNI NEWS MENTION THE is one of our Products. ALUMNI NEWS �An Open Letter to the Alumni from President Boynton Dear Fellow Alumnus : The Alumni Hews greets you at the beginning of another academic year. Its editor, and the officers of your general Alumni association who are responsible for its publication, very earnestly hope that the Alumni Hews is serving the interests of our beloved University in a way that will commend itself increasingly to every loyal Alumnus and Alumna. Chancellor Capen has more than once expressed his cordial appreciation the value to our University of the Alumni Hews and the other activities of of your Alumni association. We have conducted the Alumni Hews on faith—faith in the great cause which we represent, and faith in the ultimate support of the graduates, older and younger, of our Alma Mater. For two years we have sent the Alumni Hews of every one of the more than 6000 living Alumni of the University of Buffalo. This has involved us in a deficit, which we do not know how to meet unless YOU will do your part to keep us going. Thus far we have only a few hundred paid subscribers. The magazine cannot be supported on advertising alone. We need five hundred new subscribers at once, to make both ends meet. The subscription price of $2 a year makes you also a member of the general Alumni association. Won't you send your subscription to Dr. A. B. Lemon, treasurer, 3435 Main Street, Buffalo, N. V? DO IT NOW! If you belong to the group contributing toward the Senior Memorial pledge, and your pledge is paid up to date, then of course what we've just said is not for you, but rather your neighbor. And don't confuse this with your departmental association dues. Medical men, for example, pay separate dues to the general Alumni association, and to the Medical Alumni association. Be faithful to both organizations. The Alumni Hews has been fortunate in having a fair number of fiveyear subscribers at $10. If you possibly can, send us a five-year subscription, and save the bother of writing a small check every year. The trustees of the general Alumni association have lately voted to establish Life Memberships at $50 each. Life Members receive the Alumni Hews regularly as long as they live. If your training at the University of Buffalo has brought you success in life, this is a splendid way to show your loyalty and to give material help to the cause. Life Members receive an engraved certificate of their Life Membership, signed by the president and secretary of the Alumni association. Send us your check for $50, and let us enroll you. Will you write to me personally, with any comment or criticism you may desire to make? Will you send us personal items of interest about yourself and your career? Let us hear from you! We are working to benefit the University and its entire Alumni body. Our faith in the assured future of the Alumni Hews is firm. But let us have YOUR support. Do not fail us! 3435 Main Street, Buffalo, N. Y. (Signed) RICHARD W. BOYNTON, President of the Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo. �UNIVERSITY of BUFFALO Alumni News OFFICIAL QUARTERLY PUBLICATION OF THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Publication Office—Foster Hall, 3435 Main Street, Buffalo, N. Y. Volume 111. September, 1928 Number 1 Event and Comment We learn with dismay that tvition in the Medical school has been raised again, this time from $400 to $500 a year; that the tuition in the College of Arts and Sciences has been jumped from $300 to $350 a year, and that the School of Pharmacy now charges $300 tuition, or $50 more than last year. Truly, education is going back to the days when only the rich man's son could go to college, or if the poor man's son got there, he worked hard, day and We While scores and scores of Mentioned otrierwise normal Alumni have failed to notice this humble publication, or at least have not signified that it ever took their attention, its ap' pearance has received mention by prominent Alumni leaders from other institutions in the country.

Why Tuitfon? 6 . . �4 University of The fate of the gridiron sport at the University of Buffalo probably hangs on this season's results. When a gasping team and a des' perate coach labored through a victoryless season last year, the sentiment found favor among many Alumni that football should be abolished. Not only they and members of the faculty, but even large groups of the townspeople opined that football was a dead issue at the University, and its early abolition was strongly advocated. This certainly was a logical and sensible way to look at it. Against logic was brought sentiment, however, and as always in human history, it was victorious. Football was retained. Chancellor Capen later committed himself and the administration irrevocably to the football program, almost entirely on the basis of strong demands made by prominent retentionists. Now we have embarked on a new season, so far with negligible success. A repetition of last year's record, and we fear, (for even we have sentiment), that the sport will go. And then only strong cvi' dence of ability to make a showing can evei Shall Sre.?r?ip, Football? ,111 i ■ revive it. Buffalo To Establish Life Membership Creation of a life membership plan in the general Alumni association was advocated by Richard W. Boynton, M.A., '23, D.D., president, at the first meeting of the year of the trustees, recently in the Alumni club in North street. The step was advocated after Dr. Boynton had announced his success in raising Alumni funds through solicitation on a life membership basis. Since the Alumni constitution makes no provision for such memberships, he asked for approval of his action, and recommended that a committee be formed to make a recommendation to the executive committee relative to the matter.

'Woman Doctor; She's an American Consul's Wife, Too. /55[ometime next spring Buffalo will welcome a native daughter, on furlough from her work as savior of the van' ishing Polynesian races on the Fiji Islands and other places in the South Seas. It is Regina Flood Keyes Roberts, M. D., '96, who is carrying on a piece of work which has attracted the notice of two governments and has been commended by the Rocke' feller foundation. Dr. Roberts is saving the Polynesian race from extinction by introducing modern methods of child care among Fiji mothers. One village after another has been organized with Fiji women working in health committees to insure obedience to doctor's orders, and scores of children's lives are being saved by the introduction of western medical science. JJ^/ Stationed at Suva, F. I. She is married to Quincy F. Roberts, American consul stationed at Suva. They were formerly stationed in Samoa, where Dr. Roberts was doing her work so well that Sir Maynard Hedstrom, governor of Fiji, after a visit to Samoa, urged her to come to his islands to help the Fijians. Shortly after, consul Roberts was transferred to Suva in the Fijis, and the local government informed his wife that her expenses would be paid while carrying on her work there. Since then, Dr. Victor G. Heiser, director of the Rockefeller foundation in the Far East, has visited Suva and has declared that Dr. Roberts' work should be extended throughout the South Sea Islands if the vanishing Polynesian race is to be saved. funds to make further extension of the work possible. Dr. Roberts made her home in Buffalo until eight years ago. She has a sister in Buffalo, the wife of Alfred B. Wright, M. D., '01. Following her graduation from the Medical school, Dr. Roberts was engaged in surgical work, later serving on the staff of the Buffalo General Hospital and on the University faculty, where she taught gynecology and obstetrics. She entered government service when the United States entered the war, establishing a hospital for wounded soldiers in Serbia, which she conducted so well she received special honors from the Serbian government. She also did hospital work in Salonika, Greece. She returned to Buffalo for a year after the Armistice, but was called into service again by the government, which sent her to the South Seas. English Featured in Night Session Three courses of almost graduate caliber are being offered in the English department of the Evening session this year. Professor Francis M. Bangs gives a course in Shakespeare; Charles D. Abbott offers the history of the English novel, and Dr. Earl Daniels is teaching literary criticism. English is being featured in the session this year, according to Dean Clarence S. Marsh. Three elementary courses also are offered.

The oldest volume is an original edition of Spenser's "Faerie Queen," printed in 1590 and beautifully illustrated.

The arrangement was made following a suggestion by Dean Julian Park of the College of Arts and Sciences, who is a member of the executive committee and lecturer in the Geneva school. In a letter written by Dr. Alfred Zimmern, director of the school, to Charles P. Howland of the executive committee, it was brought out that the school needed a sponsor in the form of an American university, to facilitate the granting of credit hours to students from other American institutions. It was also desired, as part of a general policy, now being adopted in America, and as a security for donors of money, that the school should form part of a corporate institution. In naming the University of Buffalo as the sponsoring party in the corporation, Mr. Zimmern said: "I willingly accept the suggestion put forward by Dean Park for the incorporation of the school in the University of Buffalo with which I have close links not only through the association with Dean Park himself, but from repeated visits to the university, for the spirit and teaching methods of which I have several times expressed my appreciation in public. lam confident that there is no other American institution with which the school could be more appropriately connected or which offers greater safeguards for the maintenance of its essential character."

The schedule included evening lectures, day clinics and hospital observation. Dr. Burton T. Simpson, '03, director of the State Institute for Malignant diseases; Dr. George B. Eustermann, of the Mayo clinic at Rochester, Minn., and Dr. Thomas McCrea, professor of medicine in Jefferson Medical college, Philadelphia, were among the speakers. Sessions were held in Alumni hall, in the Medical school in High street, and visits to the Buffalo General, Children's, City, and J. N. Adam Memorial hospitals were on the program. Eggs, Milk and Cream A diet of eggs, milk and cream in the treatment of stomach ulcers was advocated by Dr. Eustermann in his talk in Alumni hall, Wednesday evening, September 12. "Adequate rest and a prescribed diet are major factors in the treatment of this disease, which is a combination of infection, acidity of the stomach and nervous instability in the present light of our knowledge," Dr. Eustermann said. "In the old days half of the patients who were operated on for ulcer came back after the operation showing the old symptoms. All they needed was a regulated diet. Following such an operation the habits of living must be controlled." Most ulcers in the beginning are of a mild nature, Dr. Eustermann pointed out, but the majority of persons do not seek treatment until the ulcers have reached a chronic state. He said that 75 per cent, of women victims recover, while only 50 per cent, of men affected do so. Praises Course High praise for the University of Buffalo's medical post graduate course was given by Dr. Eustermann in another address, given Thursday evening, September 13. The medical profession in general, he said, is beginning to realize that American medical education methods tend too much towards specialism and research. "This specialization," he declared, "results in a dearth of well qualified doctors to treat the large middle class of sick, especially in the smaller communities. "It also results in the situation where only the very rich or the very poor can obtain skilful medical service. "The University of Buffalo Medical school is indeed fortunate that it has this post graduate instruction of the general practitioner in this state. We have quite a similar course of instruction in the state of Minnesota. This plan evades medical politics and the well deserved criticism of too much publicity for the favored few medical educators in a community. It enables the general practitioner to get the views of specialists from all parts of the country. "This post graduate medical education affects all communities. It is a boon to the local doctor. I feel that any educational project of this nature which reaches the general practitioner to give new inspiration is a laudable one." U. B.

Dr. Koch said every effort will be made to extend and develop the course in conjunction with the three hospitals whose facilities were placed at the disposal of the doctors. With upwards of 1500 beds, a wide variety of typical cases was presented for study. The utilization of the three institutions was largely responsible for the success of the course, he said. "Dr. Grover Wende, another former member of this institution, was one of the most prominent dermatologists in the country and of national reputation." Early treatment by surgery, radiation and cautery was advocated in cancer cases by Dr. Simpson. Impressions of the International Cancer congress held recently in London were related by Dr. Simpson.

Grant, Former Alumni Secretary, University of T^orih Carolina; T^jsws Director of an Investigation of Educational Relations Between Colleges and Alumni By the Alumni Features Service. DOW that we are coming more and more to admit that education must continue throughout life, the colleges and universities must do more in the direction of continuing the education of their Alumni, so we are reminded by Daniel L. Grant, director of an investigation of educational relations between colleges and Alumni. He recalls that many other relationships between the colleges and their Alumni have become well known, such as the social, the political, the financial, and the athletic; but that the educational relation has been neglected. The old slogan was, he says, "What can we do for Alma Mater," but now the movement is rather in the direction of Alma Mater doing something for the Alumni. Most of the confusion in the present college course is due to the effort to crowd too much into the four years, thinks Mr. Grant. Why not let some of it run over into the Alumni year? Fifty Institutions Doing It The results of Mr. Grant's survey shows that there are about 50 colleges and universities now in the country which have recognized that there is a real educational obligation which they have to their Alumni, and are setting out to meet this need. The first in the field was Amherst. Michigan and her Alumni university idea is one of the latest, and certainly the most discussed of any such movement. What are the educational demands which these 50 colleges are trying to supply their Alumni, and how is the work being done? Perhaps the first is professional guidance and education. Next is cultural education. The third is education to deal intelligently with the large issues of common concern. Smith Grads Respond These three kinds of Alumni education are being carried on by means of reading courses, reading lists, and a readers' adviser service, supplemented by books from the college library wherever the Alumnus is out of reach of any adequate local library. Smith college, for instance, has organized more than 20 different reading courses, and for each of the past four years has matriculated from about 16 to 20 per cent, of its total Alumnae in some of these courses. There is however, one significant limitation, Mr. Grant points out, a limitation which "grows out of the narrow institutional outlook of organized Alumni work in the past. This in turn is probably very largely a product of intercollegiate athletic competition which has given us an institutional complex." He believes that an Alumnus of a college in Maine who lives in California will get educational benefit more easily from the California colleges, "regardless of how superior Alma Mater may have seemed to all other educational institutions in the country. In this continuing-education-for-the-educated we have a work which is going to cut across institutional lines rather liberally.."

Davis, Jr. Councilman'at'large in the City of Buffalo, president protempore of the City council, practicing lawyer, and now, instructor in astronomy in the Evening ses' sion. That's Mr. Davis. He, with Professor Edward J. Moore, head of the physics department in the college, are collaborating in giving a course in descriptive astronomy, couched in terms readily understandable by the layman. It is a two-semester course and gives four semester hours of credit to those seeking degrees. While Professor Moore will concentrate on spectrum analysis, Mr, Davis bears the brunt of the astronomy instruction. The course is non-mathematical. It is an introductory course in descriptive astronomy, including its practical uses in navigation, surveying and time-keeping. Dean Clarence S. Marsh of the Evening session considers Mr. Davis the best qualified man in Buffalo to teach astronomy. He has made astronomy his hobby in the last few years and has collected from all parts of the world the finest astronomy library in the city. He took an astronomy course under Professor Moore, and now the professor admits he knows less about the subject than the councilman. Mr. Davis was at one time a big-league Second Frosh Camp Held The annual Freshman camp, conducted by the U. B. Men's club, and the Y. M. C. A. of Buffalo, was held a few weeks ago at Camp Whitford on Lake Erie. Twenty members were enrolled. An extensive sports program was enjoyed, as well as some talks by club leaders. The U. B. Men's club has started its meetings, in Central Y. M. C. A. Robert D. Vallely, a student in the Law school, is president. for the Boston Braves baseball pitcher, and has a no-hit, no-run game to his credit as pitcher for the Boston Braves. He is a graduate of Williams college, class of 1912, and of Harvard Law school in 1916. His interest in astronomy was revived after taking a course in philosophy under Professor Richard W. Boynton, M. A., '23, D. D., head of the philosophy department. Pre-Freshman Course Aids Many Fifty-two students finished with colors flying, the preliminary study courses, required for entering students graduating in the lowest three fifths of their high school classes, says the "Bee," the weekly student publication. The course ran from August 27 to September 17, and was in charge of Dr. Edward S. Jones, professor of psychology and head of the personnel research bureau of the University. The course makes it possible for those needing special attention to receive individual help. It is designed to teach the technique of study, and increases materially each student's chances of successfully completing his college work. Students were given intelligence tests, tests in library research, were required to give oral reports, and take vocabulary memory drills, reading drills and practice in note-taking. By the end of the course a great improvement in speed of reading and note-taking, as well as accuracy and attention, were noticed. Assisting Dr. Jones this year were Dean Julian Park of the college; Dr. Niks Carpenter, professor of sociology; Dean Clarence S. Marsh of the Evening session and the School of Business Administration; Wilfred S. Sherk, professor of mathematics; Dr. L. Grant Hector, assistant professor of physics; and Edward W. Sine, instructor in English. �12 University of Buffalo The Fraternities Get Together By Thomas F. Moran, '29 President, Interfraternity Council the past few years the methods of wholesale pledging, at the college especially, have been severely criticized and justly too. At the opening of every school year every fraternity and sorority wants to pledge a goodly number of students, so naturally, they've "grabbed 'em". Sororities have been governed along pledging lines by the rules of the Panhellenic council. This year for the first time the fraternities are being governed by a similar set of rules, restricting pledging through the Interfraternity council. This council concerns itself with University af' fairs regarding the fraternities and is a grouping together for their common good. EOR well as social feeling among the various organizations of the University which number in the twenties. Now that such a group has combined and is functioning everyone interested is watching its growth of power carefully. The organization is yet very young and cannot be expected to function perfectly by its originators until several minor details are worked out. Dr. Hewitt Leader Nearly all of the organizing can be credited to Dr. Harold G. Hewitt of the School of Pharmacy whose interest along this line is something of which his department and the whole University should be proud. The council welcomes any suggestions and is still seeking to gain as members sevNew Preferential System The constitution of the council in which eral of the professional fraternities who have, as yet, not signified their intention as are stated the rushing rules, confines the to their stand on the council. fraternities in the college to a new system All the fraternities interested in this new called "preferential".

Epstein, Ph.D. Professor of Economics and Business Organization. School of Business Administration conferring degrees at Commencement upon the members of the graduating class at Harvard several years ago, mess before the coming of the factory and compare them with those of the automobile manufacturer today. Suppose that the craftsman was a wagon-maker. He made his wagons to order in his blacksmith shop. He worked upon them himself, with the aid of one or perhaps two helpers. He did not require the services of either foreman or a production manager. He needed no time-clocks in his shop to help him keep track of his employees' coining and going, for he could see them all the time they worked. He never had to bargain with a labor union to learn what wage rates he would have to pay, because he could talk to all of his men personally and could adjust labor difficulties on the spot as they arose. He had no large investment in machinery, and having no very large investment in raw materials either, he needed no very elaborate systems of accounting and cost-keeping. On the marketing side of the business, he had no need of a sales manager, an advertising agency, or a market analyst, for his product was built to order and his market was thus practically assured before he built. Knowing his customers personally, all perhaps as neighbors, he had no need to make a credit investigation. He had never heard of demand creation, Dun and Bradstreet, holding companies or collateral trust bonds; discount rates, open-market operations, the Sherman Anti-Trust act, of the Interstate Commerce commission. He merely made wagons in his shop and sold them to the citizens of his community as they were made. stage, President Lowell remarked: "I confer upon you this degree in business—an activity which is one of the oldest of the arts, but the newest of the professions." In that sentence, he epitomized both the need for business education and the function which it fulfills. For business activity, in the sense of isolated producers each individually bringing his goods to a market-place and trading there with other merchant-producers is indeed one of the oldest of the arts; but the effective administration of a large factory, a store, a bank, or a railroad today really requires a degree of skill and a fund of organized knowledge quite comparable to that which must be possessed by the successful physician, the lawyer, or the engineer in the practice of his profession. Modern business has ceased to be a simple process of buying and selling in a local market place. It has come to mean, rather, the complex assembling of materials from far and wide; the skillful fabrication of these materials by hundreds if not even by thousands of men within a single factory, working with the aid of cunningly devised power-driven machinery; and finally, the sending out of the finished product again to be distributed, through a myriad of channels, to the consumers scattered over the four corners of the earth. And so extended are production processes, so manifold are distributive activities, so subtle are the workings of the various financial and other facilitating mechanisms involved, that Situation Different Today the highest qualities of observation, analysis What a different social and industrial sitand imagination are required. uation confronts the businessman today!

Each year those universities of the country which have established schools of business administration are graduating larger classes of men and women trained in economics and in business subjects; each year an ever-growing number of academic institutions is coming to offer such business curricula to their students; and each year, we hope, will both these young men and women and the community at large profit as a result. For by virtue of 20th century conditions, modern business has become a calling in which the mere effort at buying low and selling high will no longer suffice, but is now a complex set of activities which, when effectively carried on, demands an organized knowledge of multifarious facts and a careful analysis of intricate processes. It is in the endeavor to make the pursuit of these activities constitute not a mere matter of market trading, but a real proyears ago.

Thurber, Ph.D., Executive Secretary, University of Buffalo; Professor of Education "/^Tan America Finance V_A.ner program of Public Education?" is a question which has been repeatedly raised by laymen and educa tors alike. In the course of a generation from 1890 to 1920 the annual cost of education in the elementary and second' ary schools of the nation rose from approximately $140, 000,000 to more than $1, 000,000,000 which was a seven fold increase. At the present time nearly three bil lions of dollars are needed for the construction of schoo buildings throughout the country. This is about one seventh of the national debt The average annual cost o: educating an elementary school pupil in the first class cities of New York state rose from $39 in 1911 to $49 in 1916 and to $92 in 1921 anc the average annual cost 01 educating a high school pupi in these same cities rose from $89 in 1911 to $100 in 1916 and to $183 in 1921. In 1890 the total sum paid out in teachers' salaries over the nation amounted to four hundred Dr. Clarence H. Thurber gave answer as to America's ability to supeducation as follows: and fifty millions of dollars, while in 1920 "America spends one and one half per a total of one billion was paid out for the cent of its annual income for national, state same purpose. and local governmental expenses and has These and other comparisons of total ample resources with which to finance an costs are very interesting but relatively not enlarged program of public education, very meaningful unless the percentage of though the purchasing power of the 1920 our national income spent for education dollar is 34.5 cents as compared with the and for other governmental purposes is 1890 one-hundred-cent dollar. During this taken into account. The Educational Fi' thirtyyear period the program of public nance inquiry which made a thoroughgoeducation has grown up and national re ing study of the cost of education from the sources have greatly multiplied. When kindergarten through the university in 1922 correction for decrease in the purchasing port �Alumni News power of the dollar is made the cost of one day's education in 1920 was only about 1/10 greater on the per capita basis than one day's education in 1890." National Income Increases Furthermore the increases in the national income should be considered. In 1909 the national income which is accepted as the best single indication of ability to pay, was reckoned by the Bureau of Economic Research as 28.8 billions while in 1918 it had leaped to 61 billions. The Bureau of Census estimated the annual income in 1921 as nearly 74 billions of dollars and the wealth of the nation in 1920 had reached a total of over 310 billions exclusive of government property. In 1926 the national income was approximately 90 billions. Antiquated Revenue System Much of the anxiety caused by larger governmental expenditures has been caused by an antiquated revenue system. In particular most of the revenues for public education have been raised from the tax on real estate. This practice must be changed, for local real estate is overburdened. Education should have a share of the more lucrative revenues from the income, inheritance, and business taxes now distributed by the state and nation for purposes other than education. The present situation in this state demands immediate readjustment of this burden as between the state and local communities. It is not that New York with a wealth of $24,500 per child 6 to 13 years of age and an income of $6,800 per child is too poor to support the best possible program of education. Rather the system of redistributing state revenues needs a thorough overhauling. Taking into account then that the dollar of 1890 had about the same purchasing power as $2.90 would have today, let us examine into some of the other causes that have made the total expenditures of education so much larger than a generation ago. First of all, the total number of school days in the average school year of 1920 was 139% more than in 1890. Also the compulsory education laws are now being more 21 and more strictly enforced for the well being of the nation and this brings about far larger attendance in the schools. Large increases in population have brought about large increases in the numbers enrolled in the schools. This increase was most noticable in the high school, for as against an enrollment of 300,000 in 1890 there were 2,-200,000 in 1920 and approximately 4,000,-000 now, and the secondary school is very much more costly to operate than the elementary school. Secondly, the increase in pupils necessitated doubling the number of teachers and the consequent enlarging of the salary budget. Elementary School Program Enriched It was during the 30-year period of 1890 to 1920 that our modern school system was developed. The elementary school curriculum of the three Rs was enriched by the addition of content courses in history, civics, physiology, physical education, geography, nature study, and appreciation courses such as music, art, literature, domestic science, and industrial art. The high schools have met the demand 'for education for all who have the capacity to profit' by offering in addition to the college preparatory courses, technical, commercial, industrial arts courses for boys, and industrial arts courses for girls. Many of these courses both in the elementary and secondary school demand expensive equipment entirely unknown 30 years ago. Vocational and continuation schools have also been developed. School buildings of today are more expensive than formerly. They are more adequate and are more completely furnished for educational purposes and for health and safety. No longer would we have our children subjected to the unsanitary firetraps erected 30 and 40 years ago. In our greatly enlarged and more complex system of public education the educational administration and supervision cost more. The directing of attention to the desirable aims and outcomes in education demands more expert supervisors and more prolonged and continued professionalization on the part of the teachers. The �22 University proper attempt scientifically to classify students demands an additional supervisory staff carefully trained. Teachers' Pensions Costly Pension systems to care for teachers in their old age have been established in many states including our own and the cost of this desirable function is a considerable item. Furthermore the modern school is conceived as a social and civic center of the neighborhood whose doors should be kept open day and night as long as it may be utilized. In other words the educational program has been enormously enlarged and intensified in an attempt to induct youth into our present highly complex society and to adjust them to their life situations. The youths who are in our public schools for whose education the money is expended are very interesting. It would not be surprising to find a number of schools in Buf' falo in which the number of children from non-English speaking homes far outnumber those from English speaking homes. Perhaps children representing 20 to 50 different nationalities are to be found in one school. There may be from 10 to 15 different nationalities within one grade. This enormously increases the complexity of our educational problems and makes much more difficult the getting of the best educational results, and of developing the highest ideals of American life, character, and service. A number of very pertinent questions may well be asked concerning the adequacy of the result of our increased efforts in education. First, does the education he is now receiving help the student to understand the present society in which he is living and in which he is soon to be a fully participating and responsible member? Solving the Living Problem Second, does his education help him to anticipate the future, to adjust himself to changing conditions so as to successfully solve the problem of living? Or in another form one may ask, does education help one to be a good member as child, brother, husband or wife, of that unit which is the cor- of Buffalo nerstone of our social life, the family? Does education help one to be a good mechanic, carpenter, compositor, or typist? Does education help me to be a good citizen, who receiving much from the state, is also giving much? Does education furthermore help in developing those habits, attitudes, and ideals which enable the individual to work and live co-operatively with others and does it give him the appreciation and power to choose the better things in art, drama, music, literature, or sculpture so he may spend his individual or social leisure well? If education does secure such results no price nor effort is too high to pay for it. I believe it to be the consensus of opinion of those who are studying the matter that the average product of the schools today is better educated in respect to health; has been far better trained for his vocation and has had more extended experiences in living co-operatively than the products of the schools of 30 years ago, though in all these ways the schools are striving to increase the development of their products. Results are also being slowly obtained in developing appreciation of music, literature, and art; certainly the product of today is superior in that respect. The greater problem of the schools is to secure more effective development of that aim in education known as social co-operation; of the phases of this aim which relate to the development of social control and training in ethical character. The greatest single challenge to the schools of today appears to me to lie in finding more effective ways of moulding the character of their pupils so that, guided by the highest ideals, they will make the best choices in life both for themselves and for society; so they will have regard for the property rights of the individual or the group; so they will have respect for constituted authority; so they will recognize the responsibility of a leader toward a group and of a group toward its leader. Only an unreasoning optimist could assert that the schools are now getting satisfactory results in training character in the respects I have mentioned. We, as well as society �Alumni News large, are faced squarely by this problem and we can solve it only by the concerted and continuous efforts of all the teachers of all the schools and by the aid of other social institutions which are so organized that they may help. Much more attention must be paid to the development of individual differences; to our economic, industrial, and social relationships; to giving the individual pupils larger opportunities for participating in desirable social experiences, together with the reorganizations which must necessarily accompany such provisions if we are successfully to solve the problem of training character. at Business Administration Has Biggest Gain Registration figures for September, 1928, show that the School of Business Administration experienced the biggest gain over 1927 in registration figures, of all the departments of the University. The school opened this year with 92 more students registered than last year. The College of Arts and Sciences is second with a gain of 43, while the Law school gained 42 over last year's figures. The Pharmacy school went down 74 as compared with 1927, and the Evening session has 157 less students than it had a year ago. The itemized comparison follows: 23 coming a big thing at the University of Buffalo. Many upperclassmen in the College of Arts and Sciences, recognizing the value of a few business courses, are dividing their schedules between the college and the new school. Three new required courses have been added to the curriculum for this year. They are: Introduction to the Analysis of Business Data; Industrial Relations, and Public Utilities and Transportation. Other courses include almost every phase of business relations, and methods. The school is an outgrowth of a twoyear course of the same type which has been conducted for the last two years. It has been developed into a four-year period, embracing all the subjects included in the older university business courses throughout the country. The courses lead to the degree, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. An interesting feature of the new department, as pointed out by Dean Clarence S. Marsh, is the elimination of the three-year language requirement for matriculation still obtaining in other institutions. The new liberal policy is a novelty in the East, Buffalo being the first university east of the Ohio to adopt it. Two newcomers to Buffalo will work under Dean Marsh this year. Thomas L.

He was associated with Delancey Rochester, M.D., '84, and Nelson G. Russell, M.D., '95, for two years. He is at present diagnostician of the Buffalo Health department; attending physician at the Buffalo City hospital, and entrance examiner of the New York Sani' tarium for Occipital Tuberculosis. He is also associate in medicine on the Medical school faculty. Dr. Strohm will be remembered for many important services rendered the University through his connection with the council. One of his best known acts was his tour of sectional Alumni associations in 1922 and 1923, when he attempted to stir up interest among the Alumni in Rochester, Syracuse, Salamanca and other centers. He is a member of the Alumni club, the Erie County Medical society, the New A striking clock with four chimes is being in stalled in the tower of Edmund Hayes hall, and announcement that Mrs. Edward H.

In this light, may science and religion labor here together for the steady evolution of mankind from darkness to light; from prejudice to tolerance; from narrowness to broadmindedness." The second bell weighs 750 pounds. Its inscription reads: "New occasions make new duties; Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still and onward Who would keep abreast of truth." On the third bell is a quotation from Proverbs: "How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver." The fourth bell is inscribed: "I am the voice of life; I call you. Come and learn." Mr. Monell Promoted Leon M.

In the past six years there have been the same problems of lack of material, lack of support and lack of proper time to practice. Last year the squad averaged ten or 11 players per practice each night. This fall we have had at least three teams in action daily. From last year's Varsity there are Captain Drumsta, Minor, North, Goldstein and Moran. Ungerer did not report for the squad. Beside there are Wollenberg, quarterback on the 1927 yearling ag' gregation; Eddie Seimer who captained th c yearlings; Lojocano, former Hutchinson high school football letter man; Danny Winer, football, basketball and baseRuss Carrick ball letter man at Jetter, Altman, Wertheimer, Geyer and Kahn. Andy Vicker of Tonawanda, John Gab' by and Odderkirk of Rochester University have reported, all of whom played in the opening game with two nights of practice. The brightest and most hopeful spot of all rests with the yearlings. Already able to show up the Varsity they will in another year when eligible for the Varsity, make a rip'roaring gang. Several all'high selec tions, with other stars in high school sports, have shown a dash and spirit with a knowledge of fundamentals now lacking in the Varsity. Very few of the Varsity will be lost by graduation so that next year's prospects are very bright. As far as the second criticism, lack of support, goes, great strides have been made. The organization of the Alumni Boosters' club last fall for the purpose of furthering support of the athletic teams is an evidence of loyalty. Rally meetings have been held this fall in Edmund Hayes auditorium to further stir up the enthusiasm for football. Leaders of the gridiron sport gave stirring speeches in its favor. * * * If the Alumni will read the article in October's "Town Tidings" called "Wanted: A Darned Good Football Team," by Jessie Storrs Butler, they will learn how the general public is also longing for a real fighting team. The active part the faculty is now taking to further athletics is another evidence of support. * * * Practicing is now started in the afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, and lasts until at least 6 o'clock. The main problem in football this year is the rounding out of the team from raw and inexperienced players who do not know how big football is played. * * * The game with Edinboro showed the Blue and White in a very poor light. Greatest errors were fumbling, lack of line charging and lack of interference. The first two touchdowns scored against the Bulls came directly as a result of inexperience in the ends, who were drawn in devererly. The backfield fumbling was due to nervousness, inexperience and lack of confidence. It was grossly evident that the line was not charging but was being outcharged, �28 outgained and outgeneraled. Several men on the line had had only one previous scrimmage and were entirely out of physical condition to carry through a game. Punting also was a sad feature which can University of Buffalo Sophs Win Hog-Tie Contest With the administration's ban on paddling, blanket tossing, clubbing or otherwise coercing newcomers to the University, the sophomore classes have faced disaster in be remedied by practice. their attempts to discipline the members of the class of 1932. * * * Experience, physical condition and fight That is, until Saturday, October 6.

The future already begins to look bright again, and a large part of that can be attributed to the efforts of the loyal group backing the new drive for better athletic teams.

It is the purpose of the Junior "sisters" to help the new women through their first few weeks at the University. �Alumni News 29 The Autumnal Atavism By Alumni The Scoreboard Features Service "There's a sound in my ear—it's a cheer, it's a cheer"" Again the time of the year comes when the afternoons cool off into crisp evenings, and the rumble of great crowds mingles with the plunk of the football. Breathes there an Alumnus with soul so dead who never to himself hath said these days, "Wonder what the team will do this year?" It avails us little to ask why the college world goes crazy about football every autumn. Perhaps the world in general would be better off if more people went crazy over some things. Football has come to be a tremendously vital part of college and university life. Like going to college, it is "the thing." That gives it a long head start. It glorifies young men—and most of us are still hero worshippers. As built up these days by keen coaches, football is spectacular and thrilling—and most of us like spectacles and thrills. The great successes in life are the men who love their jobs, who would rather work than loaf; and great football teams are made up of men who play because they love the game. And what would Alumni life be without football? Through summer and winter, at work or at play, He's a common-sense, orderly, tractable man; His spring fancies turn up the straight, narrow way, He runs the day's work on a prearranged plan. But once let the breezes of autumn resound With the clamor of rooters and thud of the ball, And he adds his wild yell to the volume of He's sound. a mere man fall. By Romeyn Berry Youth ends when the sons of classmates coming to college. One means to be bright and cordial, but receiving these young gentlemen is quite as depressing as finding tucked away in the attic an old belt that in days gone by used to go all the start way round. About the only opportunity left for an old fellow to impress the youth of the period with his dash and daring comes when he shaves on a lurching Pullman with an old fashioned razor. What really jars us in the present generation is their incomprehensible candor. They are not bad, but they simply will not pull down the shades or pretend. That is the gravemen of their offense and for that the nineties will never forgive them. When Mr. Rickard's disciples work half as hard for a million dollars as undergraduates do for third place and one point, I'll go with you. You weren't interested then but now you're feverish about football. What? Yes you are, too. Papa knows. Just as soon as the nights get cold, you always want more blankets, porterhouse steak, and foot- ball tickets. all year—he's a grad in the There are hordes of Alumni all over the land Who are staid and reliable, solid and calm, Who can take knotty problems of business in hand; Who could journey alone from Augusta to Guam Unquestioned by alienists, never accused Of conduct erratic, of actions bizarre; Whose shrewd cogitations are never confused; Who from Christmas to Labor Day know where they are. But once let the team get some space on the page And their malady breaks out in virulent form. They rush from their homes in demoniac rage To contribute their mites to the psychical storm. Friends blanch in amazement to hear their fierce scream, Friend Wife weeps alone in the desolate hall While her spouse on the campus is backing the team — For a husband reverts to a grad in the fall. �University 30 College Has 221 Courses An array of 221 courses faces the student registering in the Colleges of Arts and Sciences this year.

Did you listen in on the Alumni rac*io to^ '■* Saturday night? the Air Quite a feat isn't it, broadcasting the University's and the Alumni association's name every week, over one of the biggest and busiest stations in the country? For the third consecutive year, WGR Buffalo, has graciously given us 15 minutes a week, for our series of talks on education and kindred subjects. Dr. Capen is one of theforemost in encouraging its continuance. And it's considerably harder to revive a dead organizationthan to create a new one. Rochester has lately taken a new lease on life. The Jamestown group took a tremendous spurt with the organization of its now popular luncheon club. Our New York city organization, now confined to the Dental school graduates, needs only strong leadership to revive the general association. The importance of the project was shown in the reference to the "University on the Air" movement, made in the second talk in the series by Dr. A. B. Lemon, the Alumni secretary. Many are the ways of advancing the cause of adult education. It is to be hoped that the radio will not be among the least of these, when the University turns to the task of educating its graduates. If bridge, Bible and baking can be taught on the air, why not literature, language and law? Professors in certain colleges already give their early morning lectures by radio. It seems as though a definite connection might be kept between a weeklyradio lecture and a printed lesson sent to the students in the extension courses.

"We had so much room on the campus, we decided to put it to use as a landing field. Great idea, isn't it?" Just a picture of what might be.

Five members of the faculty were honoredfor faithful service during 25 years connection with the teaching staff of the University. All five are Alumni of the University, and are members of the Faculty of Medicine. Speakers included Chancellor Samuel P. Capen; Walter P. Cooke, chairman of the council; and John Lord O'Brian, LL.B. '98,. a member of the council since 1904. Edward J. Barcalo, a member of the council in 1920, was toastmaster. These 2 5-year men were singled out for recognition: Arthur G. Bennett, M.D.,91, professor of Ophthalmology; Edgar R. McGuire, M.D., '00, professor of surgery; William L. Phillips, M.D., '97, associate professor of ophthalmology; W. Ward Plummer, M.D., '02, professor of orthopedic surgery, and Theodore M. Leonard, M. D., '01, assistant professor of medicine. Dr. Leonard was not present because of illness. Built by Those Who Stay "There is a great turnover in the teaching staff of any university," Dr. Capen said in his address. "Those who come and stay awhile and go, leave some trace of themselves. But the University is really built by those who stay. "Perhaps as these men whom we honor tonight have been sitting here, they have been thinking of the changes in teaching methods they have seen during the last 25 years. It is of no consequence that they are not using the same methods now. The main thing a teacher does is that he sets someone afire. Despite the fact that the University's growth since its last public campaign had been "cautious and progressive," the record of growth will greatly influence public sentiment in the new campaign scheduled for October, 1929, Mr. Cooke said: "Dr. Capen has responded splendidly to the task of building up the teaching staff," Mr. Cooke said, "and he has done it with much less in the way of money than he should have had." Spirit of Buffalonians The new Westminster chimes in Edmund Hayes tower were cited by Mr. O'Brian as evidence of the spirit of Buffalonians toward the University. "A singular record of devotion, on the part of men and women interested in the University since its foundation, was re sponsible for the present standing of the institution, and for its hopes in the future," Mr. O'Brian declared. Supreme Court Justice Samuel J. Harris came by motor and train from court at Mayville to attend the dinner. The University of Buffalo Glee club and orchestra gave several selections. This committee handled the dinner: Julian Park, dean of the college; Dean Willis G. Gregory of the Pharmacy school, and George D. Crofts, treasurer of the University. Dr. Gregory Seeks Mortars Dean Willis G. Gregory, Ph.G., M.D., '82, of the School of Pharmacy, is a collector of ancient mortars. He seeks the crude undecorated mortars, which are usually not preserved. Columbia university has a large collection of the decorated mortars. Those collected by Dean Gregory may go to the National Pharmacy headquarters in Washington, which is to contain a museum where old pharmaceutical instruments and relics are gathered. Chimes Weigh 3500 Pounds Four bells, with a total weight of 3500 pounds, make up the Westminster chime in the clock tower of Edmund Hayes hall. �University of 6 Buffalo "O, Synge Untoe Me Roundelaie!"

Loc\wood, Buffalo Attorney and Member of the University Council this article, and those which will follow, I am compelled, owing to the amount of space which has been allotted to me, to confine myself to a very brief outline of notes on rare books—books which will someday become the property of the University of Buffalo when there is a proper housing space for such books, for there is no such space available today, and there is nothing that needs to be taken care of in a more careful way than paintings and books. In my articles whenever references are made to books it should always be understood that a first edition is intended, unless otherwise noted, for this is what gives color to a library in the same way that an original painting does to the art gallery. Copies may be and are desirable, but real class comes from the possession of the original article. The University of Buffalo will eventually receive a library which, while not ranking with Harvard or Yale, will be equal to many of the other universities, and superior to most of them. This is the cultural side that the present and future Alumni will have reason to take both interest and pride in. XN Books Should Be Original Size English literature from the sub-structure in an English language literature and from the collector's standpoint, commences with Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales," first published in 1478, and continues to the present time. To make a copy of a book perfect from a collector's standpoint, it should be the original size of the printed sheet and the original covers should be preserved and the margins should not be cut down. It was by evil chance that books of the olden days were nearly always turned over to the binder to prepare for his patron. This pristine condition is rare in all early books and yet it spells success for the collector who has invented a special hell of his own for the binders who trimmed the edges off brutally! Of these earlier books in English Literature I will mention Spencer's "Fairie Queen" published in 1616; Burton's "An- atomy of Melancholy" in 1621 and Shakespeare's works first published in folio in 1623. The copies of these which are in my library are all fine, tall, copies and perfect in all things except the original binding, and so far as I know, there are no original bindings of these earlier works except per- haps an occasional one, which would probably be beyond price as one Shakespeare folio owned by Dr. Rosenbach and which $100,000 probably would not buy. "Mr. William Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories and Tragedies" were first published by Isaac Jaggard and Ed Bount in 1623. Prior to this publication 16 plays had been printed separately in quarto size. These quartos are very scarce and are generally in a more or less damaged condition through use as prompt books in the theatre, or elsewhere. This first publication contained altogether 36 plays collected in folio form and was first published seven years after Shakespeare's death in 1616. The first folio is a very scarce book and is considered the cornerstone of any collection of English literature. My copy is a fine, tall one, having been treated gently by the binder, and is known as the Woodward copy. Burned in London Fire The accompaniment of the first folio of Shakespeare is the second folio, published for Robert Allot in 1632—my copy bears the book plate of one Colonel Gardner; the third folio, published in 1664, which comes next in rariety to the first folio, a considerable number of copies having been burned in the great fire of London, and the fourth and last folio, which was published in 1685 —my copy of this having come from the library of the late Beverly Chew, a fine gentleman and a lover and judge of books without peer. As for those who are interested in the difference between the various folio editions and what were added from thefirst edition to the second, third, and fourth, and in the various ways of printing, through which means even the copies of the first edition were varied, and to other items of interest �Alumni News 9 to the student, I can only refer them, owing to the lack of space, to the bibliographical account so ably written by Sir Sidney Lee. Probably one of the most scholarly Shakespearean experts of which this country can boast, is Professor Robert M. Smith, of Lehigh University. Prof. Smith has compiled a census of the first folios owned by public institutions in the United States and there are eight colleges and eight libraries which appear in his 1927 census. Our own Grosvenor library, by the way, has a complete set of the four editions presented by the late Charles Clifton, which places it in a class of its own among libraries. Eight Colleges Own Folio Among the colleges and universities which are owners of a first folio of Shakespeare are Columbia, Lehigh, Brown, Yale, Harvard, Williams, California and Texas. Since Professor Smith's census in 1927 I believe that Princeton has received a copy and so may be added to the list. I would note in connection with this list that there is no record of any existent copy in Canada. The greatest collector of Shakespeare editions in the world is, of course, Henry C. Folger, who made the announcement last spring that he was to erect a library near the Library of Congress in Washington, to house his own library which contains among his other treasures, one quarter of the world's stock of folios. Mr. Folger is very strict about allowing any inspection of his library and in a letter I recently received from Prof. Smith, he makes the comment that "Mr. Folger still holds the pass key for those folios which he has not seen or recorded" and which Mr. Folger is still acquiring at the rate of two or three a year. Mr. Folger has also a very complete set of the quartos; among his possessions being the only known quarto of "Titus Andronicus" which was found in Sweden about 20 years ago. However, if Mr. Folger creates a Shakespearean Memorial in Washington he will have deserved the undying thanks bf all English speaking peoples. I might say in closing that if any of my readers have a desire to own a first folio that they had better move with celerity, a3 both the scarcity and the price are increasing by leaps and bounds. This article by Mr. Loc\wood is ihe first strictly literary venture by the "Alum' ni "Njews". The series will continue in the March issue, with an article on Milton's "Paradise Lost", of which Mr. Loc\wood has rare copies in his library. His collection is one of the best in the country.

What of the future? The development of graduate study at the University of Buffalo would be greatly helped if a number of scholarships and assistantships could be established in the different departments of study. This would be a good investment for the stimulating effect on the life of the University of a considerable number of serious students working in our laboratories and libraries cannot be overestimated. The Graduate Committee hopes such aids for graduate students may be made available in the near future. Oldest Grad Dies One of the most picturesque of the University's graduates has passed with the death of Byron D. Pierce, M. D., '61, who died at the age of 89 while visiting his son, B. S. Pierce, at Rochester. His death was unexpected, as Dr. Pierce had been in good health up to within two hours of his demise. He was the oldest Living Alumnus of the University. Born in Coopers Plains, April 15, 1839, on a farm purchased by his father in 1815, he attended school at Painted Post and the Canandaigua academy. He began the study of medicine at the age of 18, in the office of Dr. Floyd Morse of Painted Post. Later he attended lectures in the University of Michigan medical department, and finally entered the University of Buffalo Medical school. Dr. Pierce had been most faithful in attending his Alumni reunions, and was always called on in latter years for a speech at Alumni meetings. Six years ago he was presented a silver loving cup for 100 per cent, attendance of his class, since he was the only surviving member. He began the practice of medicine in Coopers Plains, living nearly all of his life in the family homestead. He was a surgeon in Batteries H and L, First Regiment of Ohio artillery in the Civil war. He was for years the oldest member of the Erwin Baptist church, Coopers Plains, and had served as deacon for the last 40 years. Dr. Pierce is survived by his son in Rochester, a second son, Frank, of Coopers Rochester Alumni Lunch Club Meets Dr. Richard W. Boynton was the speaker at the first meeting of the newly formed Lunch club, composed of loyal Alumni in Rochester, on Tuesday, November 27, at Rochester. Dr. Charles W. Caccamise, M.D., '18, has been appointed chairman of the club which is composed of U. of B. graduates in Rochester. The club meets monthly and the meetings are attended by graduates from all departments of the University. Rochester is now following the lead of our Alumni branches in Syracuse and Jamestown and before the winter is over will be having as big turnouts as the other two branches. A luncheon was held at the Hotel Powers on Saturday, October 27, before the Rochester-U. of B. game, to discuss plans for the organization of the Lunch club. Plains, and a third son, Clarence J. Pierce, of Corning. His wife, Mrs. Sophia Stilson Pierce died a number of years ago. Immediately upon receipt of word of his death, the following telegram was sent by Dr. Richard W. Boynton, president of the General Alumni association, to Frank Pierce: "Permit me, as president of the general Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo, to extend to yourself, your brothers and your respective families, the sympathy of the officers of our association in the death of your beloved father, Dr. Byron Pierce. Dr. Pierce, in his long and useful life, set an example of unselfish human service which should be an inspiration to every graduate of our University. At our Alumni day last June, Dr. Pierce walked with us in procession on the University campus, spoke briefly at our exercises and was given a rousing greeting by the several hundred Alumni present. We shall long cherish his memory." �University of 12 Buffalo What Has Gone Before Some Highlights of the History of Our University Buildings I. 77 West Eagle and 25 T^iagara Square is not a story of hallowed gates, to the days of some great king. It is not a story of ivy-clad battlements, which once felt the measured tread of mailed watchers. It is not even a story of stern brick walls, inherited from a Colonial ancestry, for our University's oldest building is less than 100 years old. Yet each of those structures now housing some department of the University of Buffalo serves to tell something of the history of the institution, as well as of the city in which it lives. If you had wandered down West Eagle street, on a warm day in 1843, you might V^yreaching back have encountered Oliver Bugbee standing before a vacant lot between Franklin street and Delaware "street." With his thumbs in his galluses, Oliver would have stood watchfully by, while a pair of workmen dragged lumber to the roadside from the long, low wagon standing in the mud. "It's for my new house," Oliver would have told you. "It's the very best lumber money can buy. This house ought to last a good long time." Little would Oliver have thought, or you either, that the house would last over 85 years, and would retain its essential characteristics, despite the changes wrought by his successors at 77 West Eagle street. Least of all would you have thought the place would one day be our oldest University building. Oliver Bugbee came to Buffalo in 1838 and established a lumber business at 211 Main street. For a time he lived in Niagara street, north of Mokawk street, then he moved in 1841 to the fashionable section around Seneca and Ellicott streets, and in 1843 moved to 30 West Eagle street, on the corner of Delaware, to await the building of his house. An Aristocratic Mansion When completed, the mansion was one of the aristocrats of Buffalo. A series of broad stone steps led from the ground level up to the outer front door, which was faced by an ornamental wooden scroll. The door gave upon a corridor leading through the house. At the left of the broad hall was the library, protected by folding doors. Next on the left was the music room, where no doubt many an enthusiastic gathering could have been found on a winter night in theforties and fifties. One curiosity of that room was its door, which had inset panels of ground glass, bearing ornamentations of musical instruments. On the other side of the mansioncorridor lay the spacious double drawing rooms, divided by a handsome archway. Carrara marble came all the way from Italy to make up the beautiful, hand-carved fireplace in the house. The hall ended at the dining room door. The dining room windows revealed a pleasant vista of garden and lawn tended by an English gardener. The broad, graceful stairway of black walnut led from the side of the hall to the airy, high ceilinged bedrooms with plaster cornices and centerpieces. The mansard roof covered the third floor, on which were the billiard rooms and the attic, which was often used also as a ballroom in those days of lavish entertainment. The kitchen, storerooms and laundry were in the basement. The whole house was wainscoted in black walnut. Here lived Oliver Bugbee, widely known as a host of many parts, until his death in 1878. Following his death, his widow and daughter resided there, until Mrs. Bugbee's death in 1893. In 1900 the house was acquired by H. Montgomery Gerrans and for many years it was occupied by the law firm of William B. Hoyt and Maurice C. Spratt. Library Becomes Private Office Perhaps the most unique offices ever used by any Buffalo legal organization appeared in the old residence. The library, with its large bay window in front, became Mr. Hoyt's private office, while Mr. Spratt occupied die large front drawing room direct' ly across the hall. The business offices were divided from the front by a handsome brass railing and �Alumni News 13 on either side were arranged benches for the accommodation of clients. One of the first private law libraries appeared in the billiard-room—an extensive and intensive library of legal works. The old attic was turned into a waiting room for witnesses or other callers and its walls were hung with portraits of famous lawyers and judg' es of the past. It was not until the fall of 1917 that the University of Buffalo Law school took quarters there. Founded in 1887, the school was affiliated for a time with Niagara university, and in 1891 admitted to the University of Buffalo. Its first quarters, in 1887, were in the Niagara University building in Ellicott street near the Buffalo library. Thesecond year the school occupied rooms in the library building, and the third move was to the building on the southwest corner of Pearl and Church streets. In 1896 the school moved to the ninth floor of the new Ellicott square, and in 1913 it went to the third and fourth floors of the former Third National Bank building. Its last home was the present Law school building in Eagle street. ara square later gave way to the building which eventually became Townsend hall, our second oldest University building. Ten years after Mr. Babcock's death, we find the old home in the hands of a small body of earnest, hard-working members of the community, The Women's Educational and Industrial union. Devoted to many of the ideals and activities which later were developed by the Young Women's Christian Association, the Women's union bought the house in March, 1886, which seemed at that time adequate for all the demands on space and facilities for years to come. Yet the rapid expansion of the union's activities made imperative the construction of a larger building, and on August 8, 1892, the old Babcock home was vacated, and the work of pulling it down was begun. Building Completed in 1897 On Wednesday, October 27, 1897, the finished building was dedicated with exercises in the new auditorium. In the secretary's report for that year, the auditorium is described as a fine hall, "capable of seating 500 persons. The acoustic properties Faced Franklin Square are perfect.

May the new College of Arts and Sciences be a fitting monument to Buffalo womanhood." The following outline of the events accompanying the turnover of the property is taken from the "History of the University of Buffalo" of Dean Julian Park of the college. An important proviso was that in a year, on or before February 22, 1916, the University of Buffalo must raise $100,000, for the endowment of a College of Arts and Sciences. The University further was to assume the current liabilities of the union, not to exceed $6,000, and maintain annually three scholarships for women. The three scholarships were designated as the Women's Educational and Industrial Union scholarship; the Founder's scholarship, and the Fiske scholarship of household arts. The building was to be known as Townsend hall, in honor of Mrs. George W. Townsend, founder and long time president of the union. If the property ever were sold, another building for the same purpose must be erected and given the same name. University of Buffalo The course is promoted by the Greater Buffalo Advertising club, in the interests of aviation in Buffalo. Endowment Drive An appeal for another $5,000,000 to endow the work of the University of Buffalo will be made next fall, it was announced recently by the University council. The dates of die endowment campaign have been set for October 17 to 29, 1929. Walter Platt Cooke, chairman of the council, will direct the drive. He and Mrs. Cooke already have contributed $100,000 to the cause. Rudolph B. Flershem, vice president of the Marine Trust company, will be vice chairman. Work is going forward now in organization of committees and groups that will be required to carry on the campaign. The task will require the effort of a large number of men and women. The matter is one that has been under consideration by University authorities for some time. The money is required for remodeling East hall on the campus; for improvement of the College of Business Administration; for construction of an adequate gymnasium; heating plant; development and improvement of the campus and operation of the buildings; for paying off deficits and for carrying out other work of the institution which tuition fees do not cover. The new department moved into Townsend hall on March 15, with suitable celebration. The auditorium was used for exercises, and the educational work of the union made the whole building especially W.

Harris, LL. M., Justice of the Supreme Court; Professor Crimes and Criminal Procedure, School of Law. V, mention of -/the nameof a university is apt to Judge Harris directly from high schools and academies the University. This article is not concerned with such a group of students. It is concerned with that group of students little known to the general public, a group which could not have existed in the past and could not exist today except for the fact that the University of Buffalo gives to such students a peculiar opportunity to learn. I refer to those students who must earn while they learn. to In every community small or great there live from time to time men and women, sometimes young, sometimes well along in years, who, through force of circumstances, have gone into or remain in vocations and avocations other than those vocations and avocations for which they are better fitted, but, who are compelled to pursue the vocations and avocations in which they are placed because they must earn their livings at such occupations. From time to time throughout the past half century such men and women have lived in Buffalo and have been so occupied. They have included barbers, post office employees, members of the police force, cigar makers, butchers, teachers, clerks, merchants and laborers. Each one of these men and women has felt a call to higher learning and to the learned professions; however, they have been tied by necessity to their occupations and their resi- of the Law of dence in the city. For the past half century the University of Buffalo with its professional schools has enabled such men and women to secure higher learning and to enter into the practice of professions. The number each year enrolled in the different departments of the university has been considerable, sometimes running into the tens and sometimes hundreds. The University from time to time has graduated the students who earn while they learn, and these graduates have taken their places in the life of the city and of other communities. I have known many of such men and women. One, a man who was a cigar maker nearly fifty years ago, and who, while working at his trade, studied medicine at the University of Buffalo, and, who has now for over 40 years practiced the profession of medicine in this city. He has brought thousands of babies into the world, he has alleviated the distress and illness of many thousands, he has performed over a thousand major operations,and, today he is loved and revered by thousands of the citizens of Buffalo, and he is still most busily and happily occupied in the practice of.his profession. And there was a member of the Buffalo Police Force who studied medicine at the University of Buffalo and who, after his admission to practice, became one of the greatest authorities in this country in his specialty of the ear, nose and throat, and who, dying, left behind him the heartfelt gratitude of thousands of patients who have gained from his ministrations. A third was a barber, who studied dentistry and earned his living, at the same time working at the barber's chair, and today, is one of the most active practitioners of his profession. Another was a clerk in the Health department who, after his course at the University of Buffalo, is one of the well known trial lawyers of this city. �16 Of these students I have in mind a railroad clerk who, after distinguished service in the prosecuting attorney's office, occupies a place on the bench of one of our courts. I have in mind a clerk of the Health department who studied law while he earned his living and, is today, not only one of Buffalo's most successful lawyers, but also the head of a large bank. I have in mind employees in the post office who have become after their courses in the University of Buffalo trial lawyers and members of the bench. I have in mind public school teachers who have become teachers in the high schools and in universities after learning their professions while earning their livings. These are but a few specific instances of men and women who form that great body of students that have been gaining the benefits of our University and establishing themselves in learned professions while they earn their living at some other occupation. Up to recent years such students could enter the professional courses of the University upon preparation gained in private study or in night and day school attendance. Present-day tendency is to require college preparation for the learned professions, and, following that tendency, the University of Buffalo has added to its courses night and extension work permitting those students who must earn as they learn and who cannot attend the day sessions an opportunity to secure the required preliminary college work before entering upon the study of professions. It is this phase of the university work, which I have discussed, that I feel is worthy of being brought to the attention of this community. These students who have earned while they learn owe a debt of gratitude to the University of Buffalo and to the community which supports it for the opportunity to be able to learn while earning; on the other hand, the community itself must recognize the value of the University in giving higher learning and preparing for the professions those who must earn while they University or Buffalo "Tommy" Cooke a Sailor While the world is agog over the latest developments in trans-oceanic transportation, the University of Buffalo has a member on its faculty who is still subject to the thrill of crossing the Atlantic in the good old fashioned way. He is Thomas F Cooke, assistant professor ofphysics, on th faculty of the college who last summe Mr. Coo\e crossed to England in a 57-foot sailing ketch, with a crew of only six men. The trip was made in 25 and a half days. The vessel was "The Seven Bells". Professor Cooke intends to sail "The Sew en Bells" home again next summer, by way of Iceland, unless he spends the slimmer months in a cruise along the coasts of England, Scotland and Ireland. Credit For Dramatics Announcement has been made that the University will give college credits to students who have taken the courses in play production and scenery design at the Studio School of the Theater, which is now in operation under the direction of Miss Jane M. Keeler and other Buffalo teachers. Miss Keeler will give instruction in play production and voice training, while Sheldon K. Viele will teach stage setting and lighting courses. Miss Frances Tilly will instruct in English phonetics, and a course of six lessons in stage make-up will be given by William Ozav. learn. The city itself surely has gained vastly in its culture and in its finer thought through that learning which has been given by the University to those who .earn while they learn. �Alumni News 17 General Alumni Association To Study Finances Henry Adsit Bull, LL.B., '98, was appointed chairman of a special finance committee to evolve a plan for financing the work of the general Alumni association, at a meeting of the officers and trustees in the Alumni club, November 27. The appointment came as a result of a suggestion by Dr. A. B. Lemon, Alumni secretary-treasurer, that some means of financing the work of the association must be worked out at once. This year, he pointed out, the work of the Alumni office secretary and the editor of the "Alumni News" is being paid for from funds solicited by Dr. Richard W. Boynton, president of the association. The situation cannot continue, Dr. Lemon said. No advertising agency cares to take on the work of soliciting advertising for the publication, and until that source of revenue is improved, some other method of raising funds must be developed. "If we are to continue to send the 'Alumni News' to all graduates," Dr. Lemon said, "either our subscription list must be increased or some fund must be established to finance the magazine." An amendment to the constitution, establishing life-memberships, was approved. A committee was appointed to inquire into the matter of Alumni representation on the University council. It was pointed out that some efficient method of election to the council must be developed. Irving R. Templeton, LL.B., '09, was made chairman of a committee to revise the voting system. Dr. Lemon was appointed chairman of the midyear all-Alumni meeting, to be held University day, February 22. The Alumni secretary was authorized to solicit five-year subscriptions to the "Alumni News". tees of the general Alumni association, and sectional and departmental associations, University day, February 22. Plans for the Alumni reunion in June will be laid at that time. Dr. A. B. Lemon, Alumni secretarytreasurer is in charge of the meeting.

He recently stated the following concerning the future of engineering: "Of all the arts and crafts and professions in which men devote their energies and their talents none more profoundly affects the destiny of the human race than engineering." Certainly these prominent engineers have painted a rosy picture of engineering for those who are qualified to follow this profession. Logically we must expect greater efforts from them, the world is becoming more populous, the natural resources are dwindling for which more and better substitutes must be found, and people are demanding many more luxuries of living than ever before. We must look to the engineer to supply the ever increasing demands of the people for greater ease of working conditions, as indicated in our every day life by the automobile, the vacuum cleaner, the washing machine, the electric refrigerator, the home mangle and many devices that really make life more worth living.

This is the answer: boys without previous experience cannot master the fundamentals and be taught team play together. Fundamentals are the basis of all good football. You need 11 men who can tackle, clip and fight. This is not developed in two to four weeks of training. There is no question that we were a better team in the latter part of the season than many of the early teams that licked us. The only answer to this problem as I can see it, is to do two things: First, we must bring in better material. And how? My answer is scholarships. That is uni' versally done in all schools. Ten good scholarships each year would save the day. Second, the men need more training. Spring practice and longer pre-seasonal training before the schedule starts will do it. In spring practice, we find the basis for a team picked for the fall. Team play can start early. What teams are scrimmaging after midseason? We do it the whole season just to give the boys experience, also incidentally crippling and wearing them out. That fine edge necessary to play football, and the leading coaches do not get it by scrimmaging through the season. Nevertheless this season is over and we can look to a much team is a comer. better team next year. Only two men This brings us to the big question: How leave us, in the persons of Captain Stanley are we going to have a winning team? It Drumsta and ex-captain Art Ungerer, so is evident that the team reached top form that a good nucleus should be expected for in the Long Island game, but this form 1929. field could not help but see the marked and steady improvement of the football team. The climax was reached in the Long Island U. game when the Bulls rolled up 12 points in the last few minutes of the last quarter. Their strength was shown in the first quarter when they marched within their opponents 10-yard line, though they lost the ball on downs due to the use of the wrong type of plays when within striking distance. This, however did not hinder them in the fourth quarter after Andy Vickers had run back a punt for about 25 yards. After the first touchdown it was a rare thrill to see that team go to work and take six more points with only a few minutes to play. Team work was there, hard hitting and clean cut running of the interference with a sort of recklessness that could not be stopped. It was the type of football that should be shown in every game. This type of play with straight football put across the second score. It was a rare treat and anyone there could easily see the reaction on the stands. They went wild, would not stay in the stands and swarmed the sidelines. Some may say, "Aw, who is Long Island?" Well, they were in the Metropolitan league in New York and what's more, they were leaders in the league. The result of the Hobart game was expected. The game was a beautiful one to watch, and all were unanimous that the tary 1 �Alumni News 25 The Beta Phi Rho fraternity gave a loving cup to the most valuable player on the 1928 team.

All of these teams are well represented on the court and will In looking over the situation first of all we have Art Powell, who alone has stood for a basketball team in the past, regardless of seasonal pessimism. Art is a coach who says little and the little he has said this year is, "We haven't a thing." Literally it is true. Only one regular on the squad, Max Farrell, started practice. Since then Jetter has returned. That makes our nucleus for this year. Art has brought a few very interesting youngsters under his wing, and well hear more of 'em later. The remaining Varsity squad has already been cut to the following players: Farrell, Jetter, Syracuse, Pushback, Hoffman, Krehbiel, Siegel, Rudin, Wollenburg, Orinaci, Resenberg, and Schwarz. Without Art Powell the outlook would be dismal. As it is we can figure a fifty-fifty team. Buffalo a real chance to see the type of basketball played in the leading colleges and universities of the country. A new feature is a full line-up of games for the frosh. The yearlings have a sweet aggregation. Already we know Malanowicz from frosh football and he has a team mate from Masten in GoerUman, both playing last year as runners up for the state championship. Ruckman comes from Kenmore, Prior from South Park, Hirsch we can recall from football and Voelker from Syracuse university, a former Lafayette high player. With a nine-game schedule under the tutelage of Art Powell we should expect a These ofiicers were elected at a meeting of the James A. Gibson Anatomical society, held recently in Alumni hall: J. J.

With only six games away, this will give Gibson Society Elects �University of 26 Sports and Scholarships There is no objection to scholarships for athletes, if the recipients can satisfy the University's character and entrance requirements, in the opinion of Professor C. W. Kennedy, chairman of the board of athletic control of Princeton university, who spoke recently before the National Association of Alumni Secretaries. "I have been asked whether Alumni scholarships are harmful," Professor Kennedy said. "The question cannot be answered without a little particularization. If by this question is meant the type of scholarship that is not endowed, that has no terms of scholarship or character qualifications attached to it, and that is awarded and administered under auspices unconnected with university authority, I should say unquestionably yes. "But if such scholarships are set up with endowment if attached to them are intellectual and character qualifications that must be met, if in the award those qualifications are met, and if the award and administration of such qualifications are subject to university authority, then I should like to go on record as saying that if a candidate in addition to meeting high scholastic and character qualifications, possesses athletic ability in some degree, I see no reason why he should thereby be deprived of such scholarship." Football Squad Guests Much spirit for the football season was aroused at a banquet given October 17 by the Athletic council in honor of the football squad, in the Buffalo Athletic club. Dean Clarence S. Marsh of the Evening session was toastmaster. Jimmy Ailinger, D.D.S., '25, and "Biff" Lee, quarterback of Notre Dame, were the principal speakers. Ailinger was football captain in 1925. Manly Arts Taught Wrestling and boxing classes are in order this winter at the gymnasium. Under the tutelage of Coach Thomas Neill, the undergraduates are being trained in the gentle art of uppercuts and half nelsons. Buffalo Team Wins Jim Wilson's By Kathryn Carlton ]immy Wilson James Wilson, LL.B., '25, is distinguishing himself as a football coach, for he led the 1928 team of Lafayette high school, to which was recently awarded a permanent Harvard cup. Wilson played on the 1914 and 1915 Lafayette football teams and at Cornell as an undergraduate. For one year he was an assistant coach of the Buffalo team. The last four years he has coached the Lafayette elevens. In 1924 Lafayette's team was in the worst condition it had ever seen, but gradually Wilson was able to strengthen the team, with the result that at the end of the 1925 season Lafayette won second place in the series. For three successive years since, Lafayette has won the Harvard cup, thus adding to Lafayette's collection of three permanent Harvard cups. Coach Wilson's ability and leadership are recognized. The head of the physical education department at Lafayette, says of James Wilson: "He is an outstanding coach, for he puts his all into every game. He has a sterling character, which results in the boy's respect and love for him. Due to this respect he has had no trouble desciplining the team. Not only has he taught diem football, but unconsciously, through his own courtesy and sportsmanship, he has developed these qualities in his teams. The work of the boys has been recognized for Colgate, Dartmouth, Syracuse, Cornell, and Yale have given scholarships to them." �Alumni News 27 Les Knapp on Council Evening Session Paper Lester S.

Notice has been sent to all Alumni that the election period has been changed, so as to permit announce, ment of the results on Alumni day, at the campus reunion. It should not be neces­ sary to remind the Alumni of the obligation imposed by this ability annually to place three members on the governing body of the institution. The Alumni body showed a sad disregard of its obligation last year, when only three nominees for positions were placed on the slate, from which three were to be elected. We are reminded that any ten Alumni can nominate a candidate. Nominations must be in the hands of the council secretary, Philip Becker Goetz, by May 7. Mailed ballot voting will be con, ducted from then on, with May 29 as the last day. Results will be made public at the annual reunion on Commencement day. The Wilfred Hobson Sherk . * * * In the death of Professor Wil, fred H. Sherk, the University of Buffalo in general, and the students of the College of Arts and Sci, ences in particular, have ldst a devoted and sincere friend. His sympathy and under, standing were reflected best perhaps, by the fact that he was loved by the students for himself, despite the fact that he was the professor of one of the most unpopular sub, jects in the College curriculum-mathema, tics. It is indeed a tribute to a man, that he can make friends of his pupils, when they do not always choose to be friendly with his subject. His private life was equally fruitful of good will among his fel, lowmen. Wilfred H. Sherk is dead. But his spirit will long be enshrined in the hearts of all who knew him. OF BUFFALO The Productit costs something to have col, \he leges, but it costs infinitely more 1 ege not to have them. American '&, democracy would not rest secure as it does today if hundreds of leaders had not devot, ed to the country the fruits of their college training. More than half the signers of the Declaration of Independence were college graduates. Benjamin Franklin founded the University of Pennsylvania. George Wash, ington was chancellor of the College of William and Mary. The leading trustee of Hampden , Sidney college was Patrick • Henry, and Thomas Jefferson was both the graduate of a Christian college and the founder of a university. Among other early graduates of distinction were Hamilton, Marshall, Monroe, James Otis, John Han, cock, Samuel and John Adams. Daniel Webster stirred the Supreme Court of the United States as it has seldom been stirred in his famous plea for Dartmouth college. Before the Civil war, Stonewall Jackson was the head of a school and at its close Robert E. Lee accepted the presidency of a college. No man knew better than Abra, ham Lincoln the value of education and in 1862· he signed the "Land, grant Bill," which virtually created :fifty colleges in the West. "He fixed my destiny in life," said Thomas Jefferson ui William Small, a mem­ ber of the faculty of William and Mary college. * • • George B. Burd, former state senator, county judge and pro­ fessor of constitutional law and contracts in the University of Buffalo, died recently at the age of 66. He was a citi­ zen of high ideals, who, as state senator and judge in the County court, had held :firmly to the convictions of a conscientious man. He was one of the principal spon­ sors of the commission charter in the city of Buffalo, and strove for the municipal re, forms which that plan represented. He was a trustee of Syracuse university, and held a place on the State Civil Service commission, and the State Commission for the Blind. He was a founder of the Law, A Civic Leader Passes �ALUMNI NEWS yers' club, and a member of the American State and County Bar as.sociations.He w~ a man who consistently kept his feet on the path of progress. You 69 LAW ALUMNI * * * The Editor of this magazine rec, have an Obligation ognizes his obligation to give university news in a pithy, con, cise way and to represent Alumni opinion and aspirations with vigor. We want this magazine to be talked about, and we intend to give it character and personality. Even criticism is better than apathy, a publication that is not talked about is dead. "All that glitters is not gold". A flashy cover often means a colorless interior. It is our am, bition to present a scholarly, thoughtful dis, cussion of our University's affairs as an edu, cational institution. We will illustrate it just as much as our limited funds allow. Of course in so very large and varied a body of Alumni, there will be many different opin, ions and tastes. We would like to have them all. No doubt there are constructive ideas among older Alumni who are so solid in their support of the University, the younger Alumni who are so enthusiastic and lately familiar with its conditions, the out,of,town group who are so full of fresh points of view and new contacts, and the very large body of local Alumni whose local newspapers are filled daily with University news and who therefore form the most critical group of an Alumni publication. We urge the thoughtful attention, of all who read this, to our plea for assistance. Let us have the benefit of your opinion. We cannot imagine it, so we ask you to write to the editor and tell him. Of course there will be many circumstances and situations unknown to individuals which the editor is familiar with and which must often control the policy of the publication. It is his duty to know these and regard them. One ·of course is the scarcity of adequate funds The duties of the .Alumni as.sociation have constantly increased while the dues have not. We all wish to represent Buffalo in a dignified and attractive way. Let us take counsel together to this end. Praise President Bull The Law Alumni association is proud of the fact that its president, Henry Adsit Bull, LL.B., '98, is chairman of the finance committee of the general Alumni associa, tion, as well as chairman for the second year, of Alumni day. Mr. Bull is also serv, ing his second term as president of the Law as.sociation. Members point to the fact that Mr. Bull's efforts with his own association were so successful that last year the Law school Alumni far outnumbered the Alumni of any other division at the reunion. The spirit is increasing with a larger member, ship in the association, they say. At a meeting of key men from the Law school classes from 1897 through 1927, with officers and trustees, Mr. Bull outlined plans to build up the as.sociation, to secure a large attendance at the second annual University day meeting, February 22, and to aid in financing a plan to pay the ex, penses of the Alumni N_ews, the office of the Alumni secretary, and to pay a salary to the secretary. The plan was later adopt, ed by the general Alumni association. Officers and trustees of the Law Alumni as.sociation have a regµlar monthly meeting at the Buffalo Athletic club. Dean Gregory at Convention Proposal of adoption of uniform nomen, clature in pharmacy school bulletins through, out the sta~ was made by Dean Willis G. Gregory, M.D., Ph.G., '82, of the School of Pharmacy, who attended the New York State Board of Pharmacy convention in New York in January. Dr. Gregory also presented a report having to do with the differences in Handbook Eleven of 1927 and Handbook Twelve of 1928, issued by the State Department of Education. �UNIVERSITY 70 OF BUFFALO ""Biffy ,, Lee Comes to Buffalo 'N_ew Football Coach for Bu.lls May Mean Big Games Within a Year or erWO t=f new era in foo~ball for t~e Univer­ '--' sity of Buffalo 1s seen with the an­ nouncement, made a few days ago, by Graduate Manager William J. Blackburn, that Jay L. "Biffy" Lee, famed Notre Danie football player and coach, will be di­ rector of football for the Blue and White, replacing Coach Russ Carrick. This move is regarded by Buffalo sports writers as the most important in the annals of Bison football history, since the days of the famous team of 1900 and 1901. "Biffy" Lee takes over the reins after en­ joying 28 years in the game. He began to playing football with Western high school in Bay City, Mich., in 1900. After four years of football there, he spent four years with club teams. In 1908 he went to Al­ bion college, where he gained the quarter­ back's position on the all-Michigan mythi­ cal eleven. He played quarterback on the Notre Dame team in 1911, and in 1915, served as coach at Penn college, Iowa, re­ turning to Notre Dame in 1916. 1929 season, a good nucleus for the Varsity squad will be ready. · While it was not generally known, Lee was freshman coach last year, so that a flock of second year men, already familiar with his methods, will also provide a draw­ ing list for this year's aggregation. "We will stress the fundamentals," says Lee, commenting on spring practice. "Do not expect too much. We do not expect to make the grade until 193 1." May Meet Notre Dame And what Lee expects to do in 1931 is exemplified by the fact that there is every prospect of meeting Notre Dame, Univer­ sity of Detroit, Penn State, Columbia, and other leading college elevens. According to Lee, Dorais, the Detroit coach, offered him a game for this season, but Lee turned it down. "We won't be ready," he said. "We won't look for big company for a while. Perhaps in 1930. More likely in 1931." The Notre Dame style of football will be introduced, according to Lee.

INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY, An elementary treatise for the student and general reader. By Emil Raymond Riegel, Ph.D., Professor of Physical and Industrial Chemistry at the University of Buffalo. 1928. 'The Chemical Catalog Co., Inc., Publishers. $9.00-30% discount to students or quantity orders. Re• viewed by Malcolm K. Bucl{ley, M.S., assist• ant professor of chemistry. Among the very interesting publications emanating from the University of Buffalo's staff is a recent scientinc compilation of no mean importance. Doctor Emil Raymond Riegel as editor, with the collaboration of eight other persons interested in science, four of whom, Earl Booth, H. F. Lichten• berg, Kenneth McAlpine, and Reginald Williams, are University of Buffalo gradu· ates, has given us in 600 pages a complete guide to the interesting problems of tech­ nological chemistry. 71 As Dr. Riegel states in his preface "the primary purpose of this book is to present in a single volume a faithful picture of the numerous commercial activities which make up industric_1.l chemistry. Never before has this picture been more fascinating. Change is the order of the day. What seems like a chimerical project yesterday is today a reality. A prosperous industry today may be displaced tomorrow by a newer process. The charming informality of the language "renders the book suitable for the general reader who _hasslight acquaintance with chemistry" and makes it an ideal reference guide for those who wish an insight into the commercial applications of the "black science". The book has an especial significance for graduates of the University of Buffalo and residents within the environs of_the city of Buffalo since many of the discussions of chemical products and descriptions of plant procedure refer to specinc installations with, in the area of the Niagara frontier. The discussion of the manufacturer of varnishes, of dyes and dye intermediates, of chlorine, of rayon, of products of the electrothermal furnace bring vividly to the mind the fact · that this area is the second largest chemical manufacturing area in the United States and as such it is proper and fitting that the chemistry staff take an active .part in the advancement of the practical and theoretical side of chemistry.

These will be brief, under the direction of Dr. Richard W. Boynton, president of the Al­ umni association of the entire University. Chancellor Capen will give a brief report on the progress of the University and Doc, tor Graves, head of the department of edu­ cation of the State of New York will also speak; with possibly another speaker from the Alumni. A new feature of the exercises will be the- announcement of members of the coun­ cil elected by the Alumni. There are 36 members of the council altogether, of whom 12 are chosen by the Alumni; three every year to serve a four year term. Other va­ cancies that occur in the council are filled by the vote of the remaining members. Lunch will be served in a tent, commenc, ing at noon and giving an opportunity for members of the same class or other groups to meet under delightful surroundings for renewal of personal associations. The com­ mittee desires to emphasize the opportunity which the luncheon offers in this regard; and if members of any class or group will make application in advance, arrangements can be made for special luncheon service to such a group to have a real visit together without being obliged to give up their seats and make way for others. The majority in attendance, however, will probably prefer to come as in previous years and take chances on meeting old friends who will be drawn together by com, mon loyalty. At 2 o'clock the parade of the classes will form behind the band, the graduates of all dep~ents in any given year falling together, with the oldest graduates in the lead. This feature of the day should prove increasingly interesting every year. The en, tire lxxiy of the Alumni includes many of Buffalo's most distinguished citizens; and if they would all attend, the parade would probably be the finest gathering that could be brought together around any one central object in Buffalo. It is natural to expect that the numbers and distinction of the participants in the parade will increase every year, as those who have attended once or twice experience the enjoyment of meeting old friends and testifying to their interest in the cause of education for which the University stands. Parade of the Classes The trustees of the Alumni association, after thorough discussion and consideration, decided that Alumni interest in the Univer­ sity would be stimulated by the appoint, ment of a nominating committee to insure the presentation of twice as many candi­ dates every year as there are places to be filled on the council by the vote of the Al­ umni. The nominating committee, with the approval of the trustees, accordingly de­ cided on six names, after inviting suggest­ ions from all of the departmental Alumni officers, and obtain assurances from all of these candidates that they would attend meetings and give the necessary attention to the duties of the office if elected. Nomina­ tion papers for these candidates will be filed immediately by the officers of the associa­ tion. The trustees then requested the coun­ cil to advance the dates for filing nomina­ tions and closing the postal ballot, so that the result might be announced on Alumni day instead of late in June as heretofore. Any 10 Can Nominate The parade of the classes will lead to the auditorium of Edmund Hayes hall, where The council approved this idea; and in accordance with law and practice has sent �ALUMNI NEWS out notices inviting nominations by petition of any 10 of the Alumni. Such nomina, tions may still be made, notwithstanding the action of the Alumni association; and all names presented will go on the postal ballot without distinction. The action of the Alumni association was taken to insure that there should be at least six qualified names to be voted on; and in the belief that the presentation of candidates between whom there might be a choice exercised would serve to stimulate the interest of the Alumni generally in University affairs.

Loses $100,000 Because his will was not properly wit­ nessed, the late Dr. Victor Hugo Jackson, Buffalo dentist, who died recently, failed in his effort to make the University of Buf, falo one of his beneficiaries. Though not a graduate of the University, Dr. Jackson was a close friend of Dean Daniel J. Squire of the Dental School, and had been called upon to give several lectures before the stu­ dent body of that department. 73 Rochester Alumni Powell Urges Scholarships Establishment of scholarships that might be used by athletes was urged by Coach Arthur Powell, who addressed the Roches, ter Alumni club at a dinner in the Roches­ ter Knights of Columbus club January 31. Eighty-three University of Buffalo men were present, including an enthusiastic group which made the trip from Buffalo to witness the basketball game between the Blue and White and the Rochester five. Reporting on the proposed new plan for solicitation and collection of general Alum, ni dues by the divisional associations among their own members, Mr. Bull declared that both the Law and Medical associations al­ ready had endorsed the plan, and that the Medical association intends to. send letters to its older graduates, explaining the plan and asking for an annual remittance of $10 for a period of five years. The president was ordered to write to the Athletic co~cil asking that the proper amendments be made to the constitution to change the time of election from February 22 to Alumni day in June of each year. The general Alumni association will conduct the election of a representative. Blackstones Honor Mr. Laidlaw William K. Laidlaw, of the Law faculty, was elected an honorary member of the Blackstone Legal society at a meeting held February 6. In a talk following the award, ing of the society's official shingle, Mr. Laidlaw termed the organization one of the very important factors in the training of law students at the University. Presentation was made by Robert Vallely. In his will Dr. Jackson left the University $100,000. The University of Michigan was to have received $250,000. Because of the faulty document, the entire estate went to the natural heirs. �74 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Dental School to Effect New Plan Scheme Evolved by Dean Squire Will Save 'Time and Money to Students A substantial saving in both time and money is offered in the new four-quarter plan of dental instruction, which goes into effect July 1 in the school of Dentistry. Un­ dergraduates will attend 40 weeks a· year instead of 32, but will finish the course in three years instead of four. The plan was formulated by Dean Daniel J. Squire, of the school, and was adopted in January. "The council of the University of Buf, falo announce the adoption of the four, quarter plan of instruction in the teaching of dentistry.

In view of the recent advance in both the theoretical and clinical work, valuable time may be saved by utilizing the long summer vacation period.

MONTAGUE,'27 By DEAN JULIANPARK ·There is on my desk that which is un, . doubtedly the only autobiography of the late Professor Wilfred H. Sherk. It covers 32 years of his life and leaves him about to receive his degree of Master of Arts from Chicago. It reads: · "Mr. Wilfred Hobson Sherk was born in the township of Bertie, Welland county, Ontario, Canada, November 6th, 1873. His elementary education was received in Public School 18, Buffalo, N. Y. His secondary education he received in the Central high school of Buffalo and in the Oberlin acad, emy. His undergraduate study was done in Oberlin college from which he received the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1899. His graduate study was done in the University of Chicago in the departments of mathema, tics and physics during the four quarters beginning in September, 1904, and ending in September, 1905. Taught in Oberlin Academy ·'Mr. Sherk has taught elementary mathe, matics for five years--four in the Oberlin academy and one in Oberlin college and academy, 1899-1904." This brief sketch is but an introduction to the full life of Professor Sherk. After the degree was granted he came to Buffalo to begin almost 25 years of teaching which left him one of the most beloved pedagogues of the city. The resume here quoted reflects the same modesty and sincerity which char, acterized his whole life. Some of the things he accomplished in the material side of life can be listed. He was head of the depart, ment of mathematics in the University since 1918; a member of the committee on fi, nances and loans; chairman of the honors group, 1927-18; member of the Athletic council; president of the Mathematics Teachers Association of the Middle States and Maryland, and president of the Oberlin Alumni a.&50Ciation. When the University of Buffalo in 1913 established its first work in arts and sciences, and offered the. subjects which are general, ly included in the standard freshman year, it was totally without any endowment for the purpose. Established in 1846, the Uni­ versity was for 7 5 years a university in name only, a group of professional schools without the unifying influence which only an academic department can give. The Col, lege of Arts and Sciences might not have come even in 1913, in view of the lack of funds, if the Medical school had not then been required to admit no freshman without at least one year of college work. There was obviously an implied obliga, tion on the University to provide such facil, ities. Hastily a group of teachers was gathered together, willing to accept as re, muneration only what the tuition brought in. Most of them were high school teach, ers. Among them was Wilfred H. Sherk, who had been since 1906 head of the math, ematics department at Lafayette high school. He had already had both school and college · experience. Mr. Sherk was all there was to the Uni, versity's mathematics staff until 1920. With undiminished zest and vitality, he would come down to Townsend hall in the after, noon after having put in a strenuous mom, ing at his school, and for two or three hours would teach college mathematics. It required his constant application to two phases of his work-elementary and ad, vanced. Neither he slighted, but the won, der is that he could keep up with the liter, ature and changing conditions of the latter while he remained an unexcelled teacher of the former. It was an intellectual challenge to him which he took great joy in meeting. First Professor of Mathematics The college, starting in 1913 with 35 freshmen, did not actually graduate its first class until 1920, for the war years inter, �A L u M· N I N E ws vened and retarded its development. But the classes were steadily· growing in size, even during the years when no degree could be guaranteed those who entered or re, mained. In 1918 ca.methe parting of the ways for Mr. Sherk and several others of the faith, fol little group. The school-collegecombin, ation was no longer possible. Two or three elected for the one, as many for the other. A few other entirely new teachers were brought in from outside. Mr. Sherk chose to become the first professor of mathematics at the new University of Buffalo, but until the end of his life, with his large acquain, tance among school people and his rare knowledge of school conditions, remained an invaluable liaison officer between school and college. He would have been even a more scholar, ly teacher if he had not loved his students so much, and if he had not been so anxious to make his love for them, manly and un, obtrusive but none the less genuine, serve as introduction to a knowledge of their in, most difficulties, both personal and intellec, tual. A concomitant of that trait of his -was his trusting nature. A boy would often say that it was easy to "put one over on Sherk" because the latter would always take his word for a thing. His good nature and trust were taken advantage of, naturally; but he had his reward whenever a boy would come back after a little and have things out. Mr. Sherk had less of bluff and "side" about him than any other teacher whom I have ever known. Withal, he was very human. His sense of humor was not bois, terous, he did not have a fund of anecdote, but there was generally a twinkle· in his eye, an upward catch of his head, which were to those who knew him unmistakable evidences that a good joke, an apropos story, had taken lodgment. Leader in His Field Such a man is a Godsend to any college faculty, but in a department such as his, where clear thinkers, vivid expounders, are not too common, he raised his work to a 79 point of intellectual popularity and influ, ence which nowadays is rarely attained in either college or university. His modesty and quietness prevented his reputation from reaching as far afield as it so clearly de, served. He was just beginning to be recog, as an outstanding figure in his field when the end so prematurely came. For two years he was president of the Association of Mathematics Teachers of the Middle States and Maryland, and held other regional or local offices. The position that he always occupied in the hearts and judgments of his colleagues is shown by their re-electing him, year after year, to the executive committee of the fac, ulty. A record of 15 years of elective serv, ice on such a body tells its own story. For nized outside, as he had long been locally, two years he was chairman of the committee on honors courses and carried immeasurably forward the idea that the college should en­ courage by every means within its power the student of originality and resource to go as far and as fast as he can. For several years he was a member of the Athletic council, and for two years chairman of the committee on financial aid for students, a task requiring more than usual tact and del, icacy. There is only one consolation when such a man goes from the world at such an age There was no weakening of his powers. He seemed as vigorous and alert at 55 as at 40. No one could think of him as growing old. He never did, and so he will live in the minds of thousands of graduates as always youthful, merely a fellow-student a little further along. Some part of his youthful earnestness, his youthful love for every as, piring thing, his youthful faith, and his austere youthful idealism will surely pass into the diverging procession in which he marched for a time.

Sher"I{ AM writing about scholarships and loans at the University of Buffalo. Among my readers I see high school boys and girls eager for a university training. I see parents anxious over the future of their children. I see a group of splendid sympathetic teachers who spend much of their time in wisely advising those under their instruction. There are others among my readers. I see a group composed of those friends of MR. SHERK youth who have made scholarships and loans at the University of Buffalo. These are present to see how their benefactions are being administered. · I see that great group of our citizens, 24,000 strong, whose gifts have enabled Chancellor Capen and his ad, visers to develop the University to a point where the advantages gained through schol, arships and loans have real significance. This group is profoundly interested in the whole life of our institution. In the first place I wish to state that the University of Buffalo has a considerable list of loan and scholarship funds available for the assistance of well prepared, capable, and needy students. There are now in use 40 such funds. Twenty-three of these have been established in memory of loved ones who have passed on; 12 are maintained by local fraternal, social, and religious organi, zations; three are supported by individuals now living, one is the gift of the supervisors of Erie county, and as the last I have in­ cluded the New York State scholarships. It is right that you should know the names attached to these funds: X Donors of Scholarships DeAlva Stanwood Alexander; Priscilla Brown Alexander; Sarah Becker; Frank V. E. Bardol; Dr. Clayton M. Brown; Dr. William Barrett; Helen Crosby; Delaware Avenue Baptist church; Charles G. Duffy; Ellicott club; Eleanor Fitzgerald Fairbairn; George K.

Pratt; Progressive Medical club; Past Mas, ters association; Bertha Ribble; Student Loan fund; Frederick A Vogt; Women's Investigating club; Women's union; Bertha Laub Whittet; Supervisors; New York state. The total income from all of these funds is this year $23,333.80. The individual awards range from $50 to $500.00 per year, the average award being about $170.00 per year. The number of students now receiv, ing assistance is 125. Of these 53 hold state scholarships and receive no other as, sistance, 21 have both state and University assistance, and 51 are assisted by the Uni, versity alone. You will be interested to know how the awards of scholarships and loans are made. As we proceed you will notice that the prime requisite is high scholarship and in, tellectual ability on the part of the appli­ cant. One of the funds makes this the only necessary qualification. Under the law of the State of New York, state scholarships have been established in the several counties of the state, to be main, tained by the state as provided by law. Five such scholarships are awarded each county annually for each assembly district therein. Each such scholarship entitles the holder to the sum of $100 for each year of his at, tendance upon an approved college in this state during a period of four years. A per, son who receives such scholarship is not re· stricted in his choice of the college which he desires to attend. Erie County receives 40 such scholarships each year. Awarding of Scholarships The method of awarding these scholar, ships is as follows: Those seniors in the �ALUMNI NEWS 81 secondary schools of the state whose course that would normally go there are made to entitles them to a college entrance diploma residents of Buffalo, and vice versa.

Of all the sophomores, juniors, and seniors in the College of Arts and Science who are receiving assistance over 60 per cent are found among the first fifth of their respective classes. Seventy­ eight per cent are found among the first two-fifths. Exact data for freshmen and for students in the professional schools is not available, but you may be assured that these also are, on the whole, doing a high grade of work. We believe that our loan and scholarship funds have been and now are a stimulus to young people urging them on to higher and higher intellectual endeav­ or. We are proud of the group that is now making use of these funds. And it is not cliflicult to win one's way into this group. In the high school, one works for a state scholarship. :tJe should begin the first year, for many a scholarship is won or lost in that first crucial period. He should do each day's work and master it. Dreaming of what he is going to do when he gets into college leads nowhere. His achievement in the present is what counts. As the school years pass he will find competitor after competitor dropping out of the race. If he sticks persistently to his purpose finally he will almost certain­ ly win. When he enters the University, he should try to have on hand enough money to meet the expense of one year. For boys and girls who live in Buffalo this is about five hundred dollars. They should make application for a supervisors' scholarship. The holder will be safe through the first two years at college. When he reaches the junior year, the University will do all it possibly can to help him the rest of the way. Steady, purposeful work of high grade is the most certain means by which a needy student can win a scholarship.

The principal· speaker of the convention will be Frederick P. Keppel, president of the Carnegie corporation and former dean of Columbia university. The University of Toronto will be host to the visitors, and some of the sessions will be held at Mus, koka Lake: A new plan for adequate financing of the general Alumni association and ·its ac, tivities was advanced by Henry Adsit Bull, LL:B., '98, at a meeting of Alumni leaders held on University day, February 22, in Edmund Hayes hall. Forty-five graduates of the University attended. Mr. Bull is president of the Law Alumni association, chairman of the finance committee and the Alumni day committee of the general as, sociation. The plan, which is now under considera, tion by the finance committee, provides that annual dues of the divisional associations be increased to include dues to the general association. A space would be left on bills for voluntary contributions of any amount, preferably of from $5 to $10 annually. All solicitation and collection would be carried on by the divisional associations among their own members. In his outline of plans for Alumni day, Mr. Bull said the program will be similar to that of last year. He pointed out that so far, the cost of Alumni day observance has exceeded receipts from the luncheon by about $600, which deficit has been covered partly by contnbutions from the various di, visional associations, except Pharmacy. Mr. Bull urged greater attendance at this year's celebration. Announcement was made of the appoint, ment of a committee to select six candidates to run for places on the University council which will. be vacated this year. .

Lock._wood,Buffalo Attorney is a difficult task to note the rare and important books through the long periods of English literature in two articles limited as to their space and the reader must realize that only the high spots are touched and many important books are necessarily omitted from notice. Judge Scott, who taught in the University of Buf, falo Law school in 1895 allowed only three really important books in the English Lan, guage: the King James version of the Bible, Shakespeare, and Blackstone's Commentar, ies. Of these I have the Shakespeare first folio as described in the last article and the first edition of Blackstone is in my library bound in original boards, but I have still to find a first edition of the Bible. It was published in 1611 and I hope to find a copy some day. That part of the 17th century following the publication of Shakespeare's plays was alive with dramatists who helped to make the famous Elizabethan Age-Webster, Massinger, Ford, Marlowe, and the greatest of them all, in fact almost rivalling the master: Beaumont and Fletcher, the first edition of whose plays, 1647, I have. The poems of John Donne, that sturdy dean of St. Paul's, was published in 1633, and the Religio Medici of Sir Thomas Browne are also in my library in their first editions. I have to register my regrets that I have not a first edition of Isaac Walton's Com­ pleat Angler. The book is delightful enough to be read for its own sake even accommo, dating itself to our modem line of thought, which is more than can be said for many of the books of the olden time. This was first published in 1653, and shortly after came Butler's Hudibras in 1663. This bom, bastic verse fulfilled its purpose at the time and so is regarded as important, but it is an effort to read it at the present day. X T Milton and the Bible In 1667 Milton wrote his Paradise Lost and so impressive was this book and so powerfully written that for two centuries it laid its spell upon theologians and laymen alike. The scenes depicted therein were literally read into Biblical interpretation. Lucky is the present generation that it has not to believe in the Hell of Milton. A hundred years ago it would have been here, sy not to have believed it. I have a beauti, ful copy of the first edition from the library of our fellow citizen John L. Clawson, and I have also a first edition of Milton's poems, which is a difficult book to find in fine con, dition. The 17th century closed in a blaze of glory created by John Locke's "Essay Con, ceming Humane Understanding". A great man was John Locke and his picture hangs in the hall of one of the Colleges at Oxford, I forget which. I only know that when I saw it I was struck by the marked resem, blance between the features of John Locke and our own late Franklin D. Locke. One was a descendant of the other's brother, but both might have sat for the same picture. Formative Period Passing The 18th century cannot boast of the galaxy of writers and books which the 17th century shows forth. .The formative period was passing and with it many of the great English writers. The 'Tatler and the Spec, tator were early and important works about 1710 and then came that living book, 'The Life and Strange Surprising Adven­ tures of Robinson Crusoe. First published in 1719, Defoe need never have written anything else to have made his name famous. I have not the first edition of this book, although it has been within my grasp sev, eral times. Once the Advertisements were lacking, which is an important point, as they follow the pagination, and once the price of a perfect copy for sale at auction, took wings and left me on the ground. But someday I hope to secure it. �ALUMNI NEWS 85 About 1733 Pope's Essay On Man ap, peared and later that most interminable of novels, Clarissa.

MIMMACK, D.D.S., '21, was U elected president of the Alumni As, sociation of the School of Dentistry, in the closing session, March 1, of what was de, clared o be the most successful annual meeting of the organization ever held. Dr. Mimmack, who was vice president during the preceding year, succeeds Dr. Paul Zill, man, '19. Dr. Zillman, in pointing out this year's meeting as the best yet, declared that the first Dental Alumni gathering, held in 1900, had a registration of only 150. The num­ ber has increased ever since, he said, until this year it reached nearly 1000. Alumni came back from all quarters· of the country and Canadian cities nearby. Reunions of the clas.sesof '94, '99, '04, '09, '14, '19 and '24 were held. Other officers elected were: Dr. Leon J. Gauchat, '19, vice president; Dr. Vernon G. Stanley, '12, secretary; Dr. Wesley M. Backus, '04, treasurer; Dr. Leo T. Crowley,_ '22, and Dr. John Quinlaven, '28, censors; and Dr. W. E. Prine, '19, and Dr. Frank B. Cronin, '19, directors. The first day's sessions, February 28, were given over to registration, addresses of welcome by the president and Dean Daniel J. Squire, and a lecture by Dr. Polk Akers of Chicago. Dr. Squire's 1-{ew Plan In his talk, Dr. Squire outlined his new plan, which will enable students to complete the present four-year Dental course in three years. It calls for the division of the year into four quarters of ten weeks each, with two weeks of vacation between each quar, ter. The plan, which is the product of Dean Squire's own thought, has been in process of perfection for the last five years. It was accepted in January by the University coun, cil. Thursday's program included inspection of exhibits; lectures by Dr. J. P. Henahan, Dr. Lester L. Furnas and Dr. Norman H. Denver, all of Cleveland; a ladies' luncheon, and the annual banquet and grand ball, with music by the lpana Troubadours of radio fame. Speakers at the banquet included Chan, cellor Samuel P. Capen, Dr. Squire, Dr. Gerald K. Burns of Rochester, president of the New York State Dental society; Dr. Denver, Dr. Furnas, and Dr. Edward W. Koch, acting dean of the Medical school. Dr. Zillman presided. Following the custom of former years, the chairman called on the presidents of re­ union clas.ses. These responded for their clas.ses: Dr. J. Wright Beach, '94; Dr. L. W.

Cook._e -Q' Mn.LION DOLLARSfor the Uni, versity of Buffalo in October, 1929 is tbe goal set for the Alumni and friends of the University. Preliminary campaign plans to secure this sum are well under way, and the :first $100,000 of the campaign is now in the ban~ of the treasurer of the University as a result of the magnificent gift of that amount from the chairman of the council Walter P. Cooke, and his wife. The coun: cil of the University has fixed as the date of the campaign, October 17 through October 29 and has asked Mr. Cooke to organize and head the drive. Mr. Cooke's :first appom:tment is that of Mr. Rudolph B. Flershem of the council of the University, formerly head of the sales organization of . the American Radiator company, and now vice-president . of the Marine Trust company, as vice-chairman in charge of the group of 2000 workers who will solicit subscriptions from people of Buf, falo and Western New York. Mr. Cooke and Mr. Flershem are now engaged in selec­ ting the seven division leaders and the assis­ tant majors under whom 100 team captains will work. Next in order will be the selec­ tion of the captains of 100 teams of work, ers which will be completed by June 1. From that time until September 1, 15 to 20 workers will be selected for each of the 100 IVE J_l teams. . Mrs, Butler Leads Women · Mrs. Edward H. Butler is in charge of the women's division of the campaign and an announcement will soon be made by the chairman of the special subscriptions com­ mittee to take charge of soliciting prospec­ tive givers of large amounts. John Lord O'Brian as chairman of the campaign's speakers bureau has arranged for the presentation of the University's appeal to clubs and organizations throughout the city. He and his group. of speakers will be active during the spring addressing many audiences on the subject of the Uni~ersity's purposes and needs. Edward J. Barcalo, will act as vice,chairman under Mr. Cooke in charge of campaign quotas, and George D. Crofts, as vice-chairman, is engaged in preparing a list of prospects. When the campaign gets under way he will also, as treasurer of the University, have charge of the collections and accounting and general oversight of publicity. Chancellor Samuel P. Capen has outlined the purposes for which the $5,000,000 is needed. This includes $1,500,000 for re­ modeling East hall on the Main street cam­ pus to house the College of Business Ad, ministration; to construct an adequate gym­ nasium; to construct an adequate heating plant on the campus and for the further development and improvement of these grounds. Another $1,500,000"is needed as endowment for the Medical and Dental departments to provide for their necessary expansion, to provide for adequate pay for teachers in these departments and ·to over, come the present deficit in their operations. · Two million dollars needed for the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Phar, macy, and for the Evening session to pro­ vide necessary income for their expansion and to provide adequate pay for teachers in these departments. Campaign Brought $5,220,000 It is now eight yea~ since the University appealed to its Alumniand to the people of Buffalo for funds-. As a result of the earlier campaign the University has received approximately $5,220,000 since 1920. Of this amount.$3,430,000 is invested in secur­ ities of the highest grade bringing in a yield of over five per cent. per annum on the investment. · Approximately $119,000 has been used for the purchase of real estate; $1,295,000 has been expended for construe-. tion and reconstruction of buildings; $256,000 for equipment; $20,000 for local im- �88 provement taxes; $43,000 for improvement of grounds and campus; and $5-7,000 for · athletic field development. Chancellor Capen has accomplished a marvelous work for the University during the six years that he has been at the head of the institution. He has, with the support of the council, unified the five colleges into a real University, added two new depart­ ments, strengthened and improved the teaching staff and raised the standards of education to the point where the Univer, sity is making an enviable record for itself throughout the country. Mr. Cook,.e'sComment Mr. Cooke in announcing the coming Campaign stated: "We have built this institution as we believed the city of Buffalo desired it built. An institu, tion of high standards, high ideals and broad vision, but with every possible economy in the matter of buildings and equipment and with an economy approaching the danger line in the matter of payment of salaries. Such an institu, tion must either grow and develop or go back, ward. It cannot stand still, and we are con, fronted with needs so imperative that they must be presented to the people at once or a serious damage will result. "The University needs at once, or that is, by means of payments covering five years, $5,000,· 000. In asking the people of Buffalo now to pledge an additional $5,000,000 to the Univer• sity to be paid over a period of five years, we are asking for just absolutely necessary needs, and all that we think should be asked at this time. Manifestly, more money than that could be well and profitably spent but many projects, desirable in themselves will have to wait until the fundamentals of our institution are more firmly established. "In the eight years that have passed since the campaign of 1920, an institution has been creat, ed, five separate colleges have been put together into one centralized unified institution. The teaching staff has been increased and wonderfully strengthened; the standards of education in the institution have been raised; a beautiful campus is developing 'in the northern part of the city and because of those things an opportunity is of, fered and is being availed of every day by thou• sands of our people to help them become more intelligent and useful men and women and better citizens. "I cannot believe that any intelligent man or woman in this city would want to see this in• stitution neglected, but, on the other hand, would want it adequately supported and I am confident that they will give just as gladly and generously to this splendid growing and useful University as they did when we had only promises to offer them of our intentions to build it." UNIVERSITY OF :f3UFFALO WHAT DO YOU KNOW About Your University? What is the purpose of the so-called hon, ors courses in the College of Arts and Sciences? The primary aim of the honors courses is to develop in the student the capacity to work independently. The University has taken the position that the degree of Bach• elor of Arts should be conferred only on those who have demonstrated this capacity. It proposes as soon as possible to put the work of the last two years of the college entirely on the honors basis and to accept into this upper half of the college only those students who are able and willing to follow such a program. Who may·obtain advanced degrees, and how are they obtained? Any graduate of the University of Buf• falo or of any other college or university whose undergraduate course is equivalent to that required for the corresponding bach, elor's degree at the University of Buffalo may be enrolled as a graduate student and elect such courses, as, in the judgment of his teachers, he is prepared to undertake. The degree that is open to graduate stu, dents is that of Master of Arts. The degree is given, not on the basis of the completion of a certain amount of time spent on a spec• ified program, but in recognition of the can• didate's wide knowledge of a special field of study, shown by written and oral examina• tions, and by the production of a thesis evincing the power of independant investi, gation. 'To what extent do the students' tuition fees pay the running expenses of the Uni• versity? During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1928, student fees equalled 69.8 per cent. of the total operating cost. Nevertheless the deficit for the year wa.s $51,368.75. Over 73 per cent. of expenses went for sal, aries of the teaching staff, and for admin­ istration. �FACULTY, STUDENTS, DEGREES >· THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO, 1927, 28 FOUNDED Division .

'The Campus t::f big stage coach bowled along the dusty road. Its few occupants lolled in the tiny seat, glancing without curiosity at the passing woodland. The driver, high on the top of the lumbering vehicle, spat ceremornously into the dust, took a fresh grip on the reins, and cracked his long whip. The horses, four beautiful blacks, leaped forward into the brisk morning June air. It was the tri-weekly mail to the East, which had just left the village of Buffalo, and was now on the first stage of its jour­ ney, a half dozen miles from the little vil­ lage nestling around the mouth of Buffalo creek. · Those unthinking passengers, that bronzed stage driver, never lived to know that they had just passed a spot which some day would be a center of learning and culture. The very dust raised by the passage of the mail coach, had blown across fields which would some day bloom lush and green, a university campus. That was in 1817. By 1838 the village of Buffalo had become a city. Its limits had been pushed far from the tiny harbor on Lake Erie. Its merchants were prosper­ ing, its name was every year attracting craftsmen, tradesmen, settlers. The Erie canal had become a fact, and the whole history of the rivalry between Buffalo and its neighbor, Black Rock, was still fresh in the minds of the inhabitants. And it was. in the spring of that year-1838, that all that part of the town of Buffalo outside the city limits, was formed into the town of Black Rock. Buffalo then was com­ pletely surrounded by an arc of land known as Black Rock, extending from the village of Black Rock on the Niagara riv­ .er side, clear around to the Lake shore. Ll Once Belonged to Black Rock And somewhere to the north of Buffalo in that plot belonging to Black Rock, la; what was one day to become the site of the University of Buffalo campus. Now Buffalo, like her sister cities, had been faced with the problem of the pau­ per. In 1829 the first Erie county insti­ tution of charity, the County poorhouse, had been established. It was in Porter ave­ nue, near the present site of the Holy Angels church. By 1847· the situation de, manded increased accommodations, and measures were adopted by the board of su­ pervisors to secure more commodious ac­ commodations. New Building Cost $20,000 After due deliberation, a big plot of land, situated partly in the town of Black Rock, had been secured. The new struc­ ture was erected by 1851, at a cost of $20,000. We quote from the reports of the su­ perintendents of the poor of Erie county, October 1, 1852, at which time the new quarters had been in use for about a year. The report explains the expenditure of $54,364.43. "We have had an ~dditional expense at our almshouse, having to move from the old to the new house at different times, with an extra amount of clothing, bedsteads and bedding, in order to place our inmates in the new building in more cleanly and wholesome condition. To get rid of the old stock of impurities, we have made 170 iron bedsteads and now have in all 240 of this kind, sufficient to lodge 400 or more. "We have the satisfaction to say that we have entered upon our new premises with fair prospects and great hopes of bettering their condition, the building standing on high ground, above the influence of a bad atmosphere from abroad, built in the most substantial manner, every way adapted to the use for which it was designed, sufficient for the accommodation of 800 or more, in­ cluding the Insane building. �ALUMNI NEWS Two Wells Dug "Two wells have been dug, boring into· the rock ten feet furnishing an abundance of excellent water. We . have also laid eight iarge cisterns in water line, complet­ ed with pumps, as also the wells have. Sew­ ers and drains have been built to a con­ siderable extent about the buildings and on the farm. We are still in want of yard fences and wood sheds, which the superin­ tendents are in hopes to be able to erect before the setting in of winter. "Seeing the necessity and great want of a barn sufficiently large to hold the pro­ ducts of the farm, the stable, the stock, and a large underground room for the pur­ pose of roots and vegetables, the board of superintendents feel bound to ask that your board would make the necessary pro­ vision for the building for the coming season.', The report of J. B. Bride, keeper, said that 2249 persons had been relieved, of which 70 were insane, and 411 children. The poorhouse held 247 persons at that . time.· His report also says: "The cholera made its app.earance at the poorhouse, June 5th, and has continued up to this date. There has been 50 cases- at the poor house, 25 of which terminated fatally." In addition to the ordinary labor done on the farm in its cultivation and manage­ ment, mostly by the paupers, here are a few items for that year: "Hauling 330 cords of stone for the new Insane house, $247,50. "Plastering both houses, $260. Products of the farm that year included hay, oats, barley, potatoes, corn, pump~s, $1000 worth of tobacco, apples, pastunng, beans, feed, carrots, beets and onions, all of which was estimated as worth about $1375.25. . Appetites Were Expensive We must pass quickly over the intra­ mural changes at the county institution. In 1854 the first lunatic asylum in West, ern New York was created on the grounds. In November of that year, the committee 91 on the poor department advocated chal)ges in the kitchen of the insane department, which was found to be too small. The re­ port favored an outside building, because "the cooking is carried on entirely separat­ ed from the rooms occupied by the patients and those rooms would be free from the steam and odor of the cookery, which are known to be powerful provocatives of ap­ petite." · In 1855 the main building was partly de, stroyed by fire, and rebuilt the same year. In 1860 a hospital was built, and wa:; used for the treatment of the insane until 1894, when the building was made a general hos­ pital for the treatment of pauper patients. During the years 1865,66, an insane asyl­ um was built at a cost of $43,000. In 1874 the insane asylum was enlarged, and again in 1878. In 1894 an act of the State legislature placed the whole institution un­ der state control, and it was henceforth called the Erie County hospital. In 1895 a consumptive hospital was erected and a new boiler house was built. Streets Few, Far Between Geographical changes were slow during this period. The 1872 map of_ B_uffa.loshow~ the Erie county Poor House buildmgs at th~ mter, section of Main and Bailey avenue, which was then called Williamsville road. Main street's paving was unique enough to be_ printed as "macademised." Englewood avenue was Ely street, and the Niagara Falls boulevard was only a dotted line. No other streets had been cut through as far south as Amherst street. The city line bisected our present campus from north to south, and Winspear avenue, then barely indicated on the map, actually ran along a jog in the north boundary. . The assessed valuation of the land was given in 1898 as $230,000, and the buildings and im, provements, $550,000. . Let us leave the almshouse and hospital to their own problems, while we consider the situa­ tion in which the University of Buffalo found itself during the first decade of the 20th cen, tury. Faced with th~ need o~ an ~ ~?liege, the University council saw little possibility _of housing it, until February, 1907, when Vice Chancellor Charles P. Norton announced that the county was considering the removal of_ thi; poorhouse into the country: ~ere was an ideal location for the greater Uruvers1ty, where ~x~an, sion could go on unhampered by the restrictions of downtown property. After a period of negotiation'. the c~u':1ty board of supervisors offered the site, contairung �92 160 acres, to the University at the astoundingly low "price of $54,000. It is estimated that the property at the time was worth from $2000 to $3000 an acre. Cost $3850 in 1848 On June 15, 1909, Chancellor Norton noti, fied the board that the University was prepared to carry out the purchase of the site. Matters were held up for a time when a situation arose which is alluded to in a report of the county attorney, Thomas A. Sullivan, which said that back in 1848, Isaac Staley made a purchase of a money mortgage covering the premises and others, for $3850, running to John Halter, and John Halter died within a year or so after re, ceiving the mortgage. The county purchased the property in 1850, but no administrator ever had appointed of the estate of John Halter. The attempt was made to discharge the mortgage by two certificates signed by all Halter's heirs. By rq.son of the fact that a mortgage is personal property, these discharges were not effectual to clear the record, though they did establish the payment of the mortgage. It therefore became necessary to institute proceedings in the County court for the satisfaction of the mortgage of record. All legal difficulties thus cleared up, the first payment of $5000 was made from the legacy of former Chancellor E. Carleton Sprague, and on · September l, 1909, the remaining $49,000 was paid over to the county. One proviso of the deed was that the Univer• sity must put the property to University use within ten years, or the county would have the right to repurchase the land for the same price paid, plus five per cent. interest. The ten years are practically up, and the University has been actively engaged in its work on the campus since 1922 when it took occupancy of the new Foster Hall. The total acreage of the campus now amounts to approximately 174 acres. One calamity occurred in 1919, when fire nearly destroyed the Maternity hospital on the grounds. The building was allowed to lie in its ruined state until the University moved to the campus in 1922, when the remaining portion was remodeled to form the present Science hall. On May 20, 1921 the University purchased from the county of Erie the second parcel of land acquired .from the county for the campus. This second parcel which was acquired on May 20, 1921 consisted of 44.19 acres, and included all of the buildings---East hall, the book store, Edmund Hayes hall, Science hall, nurses' home, power plant, laundry. The purchase price was $45,000.00. This parcel of land had a frontage of 1242.41 feet on Main street and extended on Main street north from the St. Joseph church property. In June, 1921 the University purchased from the Nathaniel Horton estate and from three other individual owners, a strip of land having a frontage of 1286.11 feet on Winspear avenue and a depth of 152 feet, beginning at the cor, ner of Bailey and Winspear avenues and extend, UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO ing 1286.11 feet westward. The purchase in, eluded two bungalows located on Winspear ave, nue about midway between Bailey avenue and the western boundary of the parcel. The whole purchase price, including the two bungalows was $57,701.19. County Finally Moved Out While the University now had two buildings on the campus, the rest of the almshouse build, ings were still being used by the county. It was not before 1926 that the county charges were finally removed to their new home in A], den, N. Y., and it was only then that the Uni, versity could commence the long-delayed work of adapting the buildings to its own use. Temporary quarters were made for the rapid, ly expanding classes of the College of Arts and Sciences, in East hall, which had been the old folks' home building, and the Alumni J\lews has carried stories of the completion of Edmund Hayes hall, which is a glorification of the old hospital building. The nurses' home has not yet been put to use, and East hall has now again been vacated, to await further remodeling. Courses at Cambridge Courses of study especially suited to the needs of students of the English ·speaking countries are being offered by the Univer, ·sity of Cambridge board of extra-mural studies in the summer session this year, it was announced recently by Archie L. Palm­ er, of New York, assistant director. The session has been especially designed, Mr. Palmer said, for graduates of American col, leges and universities, and should prove a most attractive opportunity for Americans to gain a real understanding of English life and institutions while following courses in either English History or literature. The session, which will be held from July 23 to August 20, will include the history of Great Britain, at horn e and overseas, 1688-1914; history of Europe, 1789-1914; some problems of government to-day; inter• national organization for peace since 1919; Shakespeare and his contemporaries; the English novel; some English essayists and prose-writers; some modem English poets.

There were flashes of really clever bas­ ketball, with a fighting spirit shown that Some of the other games says, "win". showed a sad lack of this fight and team play. Niagara, Clarkson and St. Lawrence gave us early season lickings, and the tables were turned in the second game in each instance. This shows the marked improve­ ment of the team, the greatest triumph fol­ lowing with Rochester on the short time of a 29-26 score. Our team had two regulars and the re­ mainder of the squad was made up of underclassmen. · · We will be fortunate in having all of the team and squad for next year, which should show us a winning team. The squad was composed. of Farrow, Jetter, Gabby, Siegel, Shragg, Syracuse, Hoffman, Pashlack, and Krehball, which will leave us nine experienced men for next year, eight of whom are letter winners of this year. Myron Roberts was the man­ ager of the team. Looks like a good year next season with a fast freshman team to add to the Varsity. Better luck coming.

To be opened Feb. 26 with elaborate ceremonies and celebration, is the $250,000 Himself a Harvard graduate, he practiced law in Buffalo beginning in 1885. In 1887 he organized the University of Buffalo Law school, with which he was asso- Norton hall, new student recreation building erected under the terms of the late Chancellor Charles P. Norton's will. A three-day program of events has been planned by students and administration to signalize this major development in campus life. Formal dedication is scheduled for 3 P. M. of the first day, with receptions, teas, banquets, luncheons, concerts, to follow until mid-week. Opposite Foster Hall The buff-colored structure stands directly opposite Foster hall, and diagonally across from Crosby hall, making the third side of an eventual quadrangle of which the Lockwood Memorial library, now under construction, is the center. Norton hall's three-storied center and two-storied wings will house a theater, cafeteria, kitchen, private dining rooms, gamerooms, lounges, with office space devoted to sundry student activities. The theater, complete with stage, footlights, dressing rooms and balcony, accommodates 450 persons, can be converted into a ballroom. The cafeteria has aseating capacity of 230. Grounds to be Improved Now mantled by February snows, the grounds around the building later will be graded, terraced, seeded, adding one more touch of beauty to an already transformed campus. Recognized as the father of the greater university, Charles Phelps Norton's bequest gives fruition to the last and one of the most important of his life's hopes—a building dedicated to the social life of successive generations of democratic university men and women. DONOR Charles Pkelps Norton, onetime chancellor of the university ciated during the next 21 years as registrar, lecturer, instructor and professor. He became vice-chancellor in 1905, chancellor in 1909. It was during his administration that the present campus of 175 acres was acquired, a tribute to his vision. He saw the establishment of the College of Arts and Sciences and the graduation of its first class. He resigned the chancellorship in 1920, died July 11, 1923, at the age of 65. S. A. C. Disbanded The marked change in campus geography is accompanied by a corresponding re- vision of student activities. The old Students' Activities committee passes out of existence. Two new bodies appear: The Board of Governors of Norton hall, which has custody and control of the physical property, determines general policies of the building, governs its financial policy and ratifies its budget; the board of managers of the Student union, which has detailed power to operate the union and is charged with responsibility for administration and government of Norton hall. First president of the Student union and ranking student officer in the government ofthe building is J.Robert Winegar, senior in the School of Business Administration. Almost immediately after his election he was sent to Columbus, 0., to attend the annual conference of the American Association of College Unions. For director of the building, the board of governors chose slender, smiling Robert Parke, former property manager of Parke Hall & Co., and graduate of Antioch college. The directorship is a full-time executive position, comparable, on a small scale, with the management of a hotel. Not part of his responsibilities, however, will be the supervision of the cafeteria, which will be run as a separate department. Born in Buffalo Executive Parke is a Buffalonian by birth. At Antioch he played baseball, was a back on the varsity football team, and chairman of the service council, a branch of the student government. He has had considerable experience since in boys' and young men's work. Tentative outline ofopening week events includes: Monday, 3 P. M., dedication, with Council ChairmanA. Glenni Bartholomew, LL.B., '03, Chancellor Samuel P. Capen, members of the Norton family, President Winegar and Director Parke as (Continuedon page 4) �UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 2 ATHLETIC CHANGES LOOM Policy Committee Working on Program of Longterm Improvement Believing that the University of Buffalo's athletics program is not meeting the standards that should obtain at the institution, the Athletic council this month was framing a definite policy for future guidance. Chairman Harold G. Hewitt, Ph.D., assistant professor ofchemistry, appointed a policy committee to survey the situation, bring in recommendations for the development of a constructive program of long-term improvement.

Formation of the Alumni council, with Supreme Court Justice Samuel J. Harris, LL.B., '07, as its chairman. 2. Establishment of the Alumni office on the university campus, with William G. Cook, 8.5., '27, as alumni secretary. 3. Strengthening changes in the General Alumni association, of which Chester G. Schoenborn, B.S. in Bus. Ad., '33, is this year's president. " Alumni Petition University Alumni activity, not exempted from the recent depression, picked up last year when petitions from graduate organizations began appearing before university authorities, requesting establishment and maintenance of an alumni office. The problem was turned over to the alumni members of the University council. Acting with the approval of that body, they since have made bold changes in the picture. Result: Stimulation of renewed alumni activity, restoration of alumni confidence, notable strengthening of the entire graduate organization. The alumni committee became the Alumni council, moved promptly toward establishment of an alumni office. Searching among graduates of this and other institutions, it finally picked as alumni secretary Bill Cook, Arts college graduate, erstwhile newspaperman, publicist, radio announcer, once active in undergraduate affairs. With headquarters on the campus, Bill Cook began revision of alumni files, planning of programs, preparation for service ALUMNI LEADERS Hon. Samuel J. Harris, LL.B., '07, and Chester G. Schoenborn, B.S. in Bus. Ad.'33. to alumni, administration, friends of the university. Choose New President Next step was taken by the General Alumni association. By mid-fall President Frederick J. Parmenter, M.D., '03, had assembled his board of directors, which augmented by delegates from the newly recognized Alumnae association and the School of Business Administration alumni group, had elected Mr. Schoenborn president; Dr. A. Bertram Lemon, Ph. G., '13, vice-president; Bill Cook, secretary (placing him in a dual capacity), and Natalie M. Round, 8.A., '23, treasurer. Plans now in formation will offer grad- opportunity to meet periodically, sponsor activities, help themselves and the university by concerted action. The Alumni council exercises no jurisdiction over affairs of the alumni associations, exists merely to co-operate with them and to maintain the alumni office. It consists of those graduates who are at the time members of the University council. It has its own officers and executive uates more committee. —CHAPPEU-E DUAL CAPACITY Alumni SecretaryWilliamG. C00k,8.5.,'27. Alumni Council Members Its personnel includes Justice Harris, chairman; Charles Diebold, Jr., LL.B., '97, vice-chairman; Griffith G. Pritchard, D.D.S., '18, recorder; G. Thomas Ganim, LL.B., '27, assistant recorder; James E. King, M.D., '96 and Leon J. Gauchat, D.D.S., '19,executive committee members, and Nelson G. Russell, M.D., '95; Thomas B. Lockwood, Law, '96; Albert P. Sy, Ph.D., '08; Marshall Clinton, M.D., '95; A. Glenni Bartholomew, LL.B., '03; James McC. Mitchell, LL.B., '97; Dr. Lemon; George G. Davidson, Jr., L.L.8., '97; Dean Willis G. Gregory, M.D., '82; Dean Daniel H. Squire, D.D.S., '93. Justice Harris worked his way through law school, held the Clinton scholarship, won the Daniels Thesis prize, was honor man of his class at graduation. From 1908 to 1924 he was a member of the Law school faculty as lecturer on the law of crimes. He took an important part in the activities of the Buffalo Liberty Loan committee, was one of the leaders in the university's endowment drives. He is a member of the executive committee and past president of the New York State Conference of Social Workers, and has been president of the Jewish Federation for Social Service. Heads Two Groups General President Schoenborn is also president of the Business Administration Alumni association. He has been assistant recorder of Ismailia temple, was from 1926 to 1930 assistant secretary of the Buffalo consistory. He is assistant director of extension of the State Teachers' college, business director of that institution's Emergency college. Secretary Cook was for two years after graduation editor of the University of Buffalo Alumni News. As a student he was editor-in-chief of the Bee, art editor of the Bison, a founder and first president of the French club, president of the U. B. Men's club, manager of the Glee club, Senior class Ivy day orator in 1927. He was at different times a Buffalo Times reporter, Buffalo Evening News reporter and columnist, WBEN announcer WGRannouncer and studio director, Buffalo Broadcasting corporation announcer and publicity director, Buffalo Chamber of Commerce assistant publicity director, Joint Charities assistant publicity director in 1933, a master of ceremonies at the Buffalo Centennial celebration in 1932. When Dr. Lemon surrendered his portfolio to the new alumni secretary, he had completed more than ten years of service to the organized alumni of the university. As alumni secretary of the general association, secretary of the old Federated Alumni association, and a moving spirit of the Alumni club, he had acquired probably more knowledge of Buffalo alumni affairs than any other one individual. As vice-president of the General association and member of the Alumni council, he is in a key position to give the new leaders the benefit of ample experience. �4 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN To Published monthlyexcept June.Julyand August, by the University of Buffalo at 3435 Main Street, Buffalo, N.

DENTISTS BACK SURVEY Want CWA Help in Examining Teeth of 125,000 School Children "The one black spot in the Buffalo Health Department's service—the complete lack of mouth hygiene work." Thus Health CommissionerFrancis E. Fronczak,M.D., '97, described conditions in the Buffalo publicschools,in an address recently before the American Dental association. In step with the modern demand for more complete preventive dentistry, the Eighth District Dental society a few months ago approved a project which would save thousands of Buffalo children future pain and expense due to tooth ills. Into the capable hands of James J. Ailinger, D.D.S., '25, onetime star varsity center, basketball captain, later assistant football coach, went the job of planning theprogram. " CWA Project As chairman of the society's oral hygiene committee, husky, jovial Dr. Ailinger recommended a two months' survey of Buffalo's school children, to be performed under the CWA at an estimated cost of $32,070. The survey would require the services of 40 dentists, 40 hygienists, 59 clerks and typists. About $28,000 of the total cost would go for labor, the remainder for equipment. Health Board Approves The plan was approved by the Buffalo Board of Health, the School board and local CWA officials. Then the plan went to the State Health department in Albany, was returned to Dr. Archibald S. Dean, district state health officer,who has temporarily delayed progressby requesting more information and certain changes in the proposal. Under the committee's plan, the Buffalo Health department would supervise the survey. Dental conditions of 125,000children would be charted and recorded,class room lectures on proper care of teeth and mouth would be included. �ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN 3 NORTON HALL FORMALLY OPENED Dedication, Key Presentation, Bust Unveiling Launch Three-Day Celebration Program # Nine student workmen one day last month unlimbered brooms,brushes,dust mops, enthusiastically went at the job of cleaning their club house for its grand opening. A few hours later, students, faculty, administration, alumni, joined in the formal dedication of Buffalo's new $250,-000 Norton hall. Half a week was given over to celebrating this major new development in campus life. Defying the zero weather which was February's gift to Buffalo, hundreds turned out for the campus parade which opened the first day. Into the welcome warmth of the steam-heated main foyer marched the celebrants, where former Supreme Court Justice CharlesB. Wheeler, executor and trustee of the Norton estate, presented the keys of the building to Council Chairman A. Glenni Bartholomew, LL.B., '03. Lauding ChancellorNorton's quality of friendship as "the very genius of this build- ing," Alumnus Bartholomew then handed the keys to ChancellorSamuelP. Capen, who transmitted them to J. Robert Winegar, president of the Student union, in token of the undergraduate responsibility for administration of the building. Unveils Bust Finally Mrs. Porter H. Norton, sculptress-niece of the donor, unveiled her own creation—a life-size bust of Chancellor Norton, which rests on the mantelpiece over the handsome fireplace. Followed more addresses in the theater, benediction by Dr. Richard W. Boynton, 8.A.,'22. With mounting enthusiasm, undergraduates crowded the buildingagain that night for a student mixer, where monologues, burlesque melodramas, dance specialties, playlets, added to the festiv- ities. Next afternoon the Student Council of the College of Arts and Sciencesand the Pan-Hellenic (inter-sorority) association sponsored a tea dance. Same night two orchestras unpacked their instruments, vied with each other as 800 youngpersons did the Lafayette hop in corridors,game rooms, the ballroom,on balconies. "SemiFormal Is Biggest Dance in U.B. History" headlined the Bee three days later. Concert Ends Celebration A concert by the Buffalo Symphony orchestra the third day ended the dedicatory program. Colleague of Director Robert Parke is Mrs. Helen StewartWhite, director of the Norton hall cafeteria. Experienced restaurant manager,she is charged with appeasing the appetites of students and preceptors. No money-making venture, the cafeteria will be operated in accordance with Chancellor Norton's desire to give students the best possible within their price range. Operating independently of each other, both the Norton hall and cafeteriamanagement employ student help to a large extent. —CHAPPELLE RANDOM GLANCES IN NORTON HALL Upper left, the theater-ball room, showingstage and proscenium; upper right, private dining room and mural of old Buffalo; center, the main foyer; lower left, one of the five lounges; lower right, a corner of the cafeteria �4 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN Published monthlyexcept Junejuly and August, by the University of Buffalo at 3435 Main Street, Buffalo, N.

In addition to varsity football, Van Bibber coached freshman basketball and track. His yearling cagerswon 14 games, lost 11 in three years. His trackmen lost but one dual meet in the same period of time. " Striking changes in Buffalo's athletic policy were being made this month as spring brought new hopes and a new foot- ball coach to the Blue and White campus. Though no official announcement has been made as yet by those in authority, one important alteration in the sports setup became clear with the arrival of George Van Bibber, onetime Purdue star tackle, to take a post as full time assistant professor of physical education and chief mentor of the Bulldogs. Framed by a committee of the Athletic council headed by Education Professor Albert N. Jorgensen, the new athletic policy is now awaiting final confirmation by the University council, may be made public at any moment. Season'sProspects Good Appearance of the 27-year-old gentleman from Indiana assures spring training for the Buffalo eleven. Prospects for a winning team this fall are regarded by sports authorities as the best in years, with last season's entire squad returning almost intact. Van Bibber is expected to switch his aggregation from the Warner system, used by Jimmy Wilson for two years, back to the Rockne style, employed by Biffy Lee and Bill Pritchard. George Van Bibber is a product of Garfield high school in Terre Haute, Ind., where he won eight letters in football, basketball,baseball. He entered Purdue, majored in physical education and science, departed in 1931 with a bachelor of science degree, three football letters, two in baseball. The year 1929saw him picked as unanimous All-Big Ten tackle for his efforts on the team which went through the season undefeated,captured the conference title. Next yearhe was selected for secondstring tackle on the New York Sun's annual Ail-American list. Other honors: Michigan All-State team, GENTLEMAN FROM INDIANA Assistant Professor George Van Bibber,zvho becomes the Bulldogs' coach Ail-West team, Purdue All-Time team, selection by Coach Hanley of Northwestern to represent Purdue in the December, 1930,East-West game;Big-Ten medal for proficiency in scholarship and athletics, 1931. Brilliant Player He played in every game during his three varsity years at Purdue under Coach Noble Kizer, had the distinction of participating in only four losing battles. Football critics described him as a brilliant player on defense,fast and dynamic on offense. Greatest ground-gaining team in the country in 1929,most of Purdue's yardage was made through holes blasted out by Van Bibber. After graduation, he went to Central State Teachers' college, Mt. Pleasant, Mich., as head football coach. His teams Full Faculty Rank As a year-round member of the university community, with full faculty rank, Van Bibber's 215-pound figure will become a familiar one on the campus, is looked to as a rallying point for student spirit, athletic interest. To qualify under the new policy, he had to satisfy academic as well as athletic requirements, was able to show training and experience as a teacher of physical education. Forward-looking sports enthusiasts see this move as the beginning of a new day for University of Buffalo athletics, visualize the day when a new physical education plant, gymnasium, swimming pools, field house,stadium, will replace the present Rotary field. Heralding Van Bibber's appointment as "a new sport deal for U. 8.," Buffalo newspapers approve the move. Keynoted Sports Editor Bill Abbott in the Buffalo Times: "University of Buffalo unquestionably has made a wise and happy choice in George Van Bibber to head the institution's new deal in athletics. Van Bibber's background is one of unusual achievement in competition and class room U. B. has approached its athletic problem slowly and with deep appreciation of the balance between sports and class room requirements. There have been times when this department believed U. B. regarded its athletic responsibilities merely as a necessaryevil. The appointment of Van Bibber and the formationof the new {Continued on page3) .. �2 Physicians in Print Medical men who conform to the ethics of their profession shun personal publicity, do not advertise, hide their activities from the public gaze with be- " UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO STAGE SET FOR REUNION coming modesty. Occasionally, however, as a result of the diggingof some reporter with a nose for news, one breaks into the public press in spite of himself. Three sueh—all Buffalo graduates—found themselves in Buffalo newspapers during the month. Buffalo alumni, whether temporary or permanent residents of the city, know the sandfly for a harmless,soft-winged insect which clusters about street lights, makes no noise,sometimes ends its career in the potato salad at a Canadian lake shore picnic. Not so harmless would the sandfly appear as a result of experiments conducted by Salvatore J. Parlato, '20, results of which appear in a recent issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Possibility is voiced by Dr. Parlato that the moth-like little creature is one cause of hay fever and asthma. Assisted in his experiments by Gladys Swarthout, 8.A., '30, who majored in chemistry, Dr. Parlato made an extract of the bodies of sandflies, inoculated 32 patients, saw all obtain relief, some obtain immunization. In a total of 850 patients examined for hay fever and asthma, he found 5 per cent hypersensitive to the fly. Symptoms of hay feverandasthma were found to be caused by a fine hair and dander from the wings of the fly. Thus, Dr. Parlato believes,pollen may not be the only cause for the allergical ailments which beset many a resident of the Great Lakes region. Back home this month after a fivemonths' triparound the world was Herbert U. Williams, '89, silver-haired professor of pathology and bacteriology in the Medical school. Reason for his journey: To seek information about yaws, a mild skin disease peculiar to the tropics. Medical name: Frambesia. Commissioneda major in the Medical corps and assigned as commanding officer of the 174th infantry's Medical detachment was Harry Gardner Johnson, '15. In 1917 he entered the Medical reserve, went into the Regular Army Medical school in 1918, was in charge of the medical staff at General Hospital No. 4, Buffalo, in 1918-19, spent four years as an army doctor in the Philippines and China. From 1922 to 1924 he was at the Army and Navy hospital in Hot Springs, Ark. After some time in the Attending Surgeon's office at Washington, he resigned his commission in 1925 to enter private practice in Buffalo past " " " GRADUATE LEADERS Dental Alumni Association officers.

While the group represented but a small percentage of the more than 8000 living graduates of the institution, the " number was all that Norton hall's colorful dining room would hold. Theoccasion: First annual spring dinner and dance, in celebration of the official opening of alumni headquarters in the two-months-old recreation center. To hear of the university's academic, alumni,athletic developments, they dared a belated snow-flurry, parked their cars in water puddles, trod muddy paths to the new building whose windows glowed golden in the April night. Rosengren Presides They dined on chicken,sat expectantly while Chester G. Schoenborn,B.S. in Bus. Ad., '33, youthful president of the General Alumni association, presented Roswell P. Rosengren, LL.B., '27, as toastmaster. Calling on his experience as a public speaker, teacher of publicspeaking, Mr. Rosengren with well-timed bursts of zest and wit, introduced J. Robert Winegar, business school senior and president of the Student union; James J. Ailinger, D.D.S., '25, general chairman of the event; ChancellorSamuel P. Capen, Supreme Court Justice Samuel J. Harris, LL.B., '07; Dr. Harold G. Hewitt, chairman of the Athletic council; George Van Bibber, new coach of football, assistant professor of physical education; John Lord O'Brian, LL.B., '98. Welcoming the graduates to Norton hall, Student Winegar underlined the startling upturn in undergraduate spirit, pointed to the financing of Norton hall as an evidence of the growing sense of responsibility felt by students. versities have reputations for athletics and others for their educational achievements. I am happy to say I have become part of the faculty of a university which is built on educational ideals and not as anexcuse for a football team." To Alumnus O'Brian fell the task of making the climactic address. Choosing Norton hall's donor as his subject, he declared: "Charley Norton was, I believe, the greatest miracle-worker of my generation. The great heritage of this university is the loyaltythat has characterized everyone connected with it all the way down from 1846. Chancellor Norton concentrated the idea of loyaltyin this city." From General Chairman Ailinger came thanks and appreciation to the members of the dinner committee: A. Bertram Lemon, Ph.G., '13, music chairman; Natalie M. Round, 8.A., '23, tickets; Edward F.

The building was completed in September, 1931. In 1932, 7178 patients were treated, while last year, says the report, 9404 were cared for. About 275 children receive free dental treatment there daily. NEW ATHLETIC POLICY (Continued from page 1) policy proves our long-range observation was erroneous. We are glad to extend a welcome hand to the former Purdue star and trust that under his guidance U. B. will soon takeits proper place in the sphere of athletics." Notes Great Change Chancellor Capen voiced prospects of wider alumni participation in university activities, emphasized that "in the few weeks this building has been open, it has effecteda great change in the life of the university." Judge Harris dwelt on the new alumni spirit, new alumni organization, quoted the Biblical injunction, "Seek ye the welfare of the city in which ye dwell, for in its welfareye shall fare well," as the theme of the Alumni council's and alumni association's existence.

Request Crime Paper Onceevery five years, the International Penal and Penitentiary commission,outstanding organization of the world for prison study, holds a world congressat which the papers of internationally-known authorities are brought together for presentation and study. To nine criminologists in the United States have come invitations for the 1935 congress,to be held in Berlin, Germany. Oneof the nine was Nathaniel F. Cantor, LL.B., '29, professor of criminology at the university, member of the New York State bar, contributor to various scholarly journals in law and anthropology. Head of the United Statesdelegation is SanfordBates,superintendent of the Federal Department of Prisons. His invitation, assigning to Dr. Cantor the subject of the retroactive effect of new laws, requests answers to the following two questions. "Must the attenuation of penal legislation affect sentences which are already imposed? How can a change in the legislation concerning the serving of sentences, be made to affect those sentences which had already been definitely pronounced or the execution of which had already been commenced beforethe said change?" According to Dr. Cantor, "the body of resolutions always drawn up after the discussions have been completed becomes the basis for guiding penal legislation in the several countries represented." Delegates from every country of the world attend these international meetings. " U.S. Postage A. F. I SHAM, 85 N. PEARL ST. lc Paid . BUFFALO, N. Y. Buffalo, N. Y.

Into the mail a few days ago went biographical sketches of 13 nominees,from whom will be chosen three persons to serve four-year terms. Twelve of the candidates for office are graduates of the university. They are: George C. Davidson, Jr., LL.B., '97; Marguerete G. Hanne, 8.A., '29, M.A., '32; Allen R. Long, M.D., '21; L. HalHday Meisburger, D.D.S., '19; Simon Meltzer, 8.A., '30; Albert E. Minns, Jr., Ph.G., '26; Sidney B. Pfeifer, LL.B., '20; Griffith G. Pritchard, D.D.S., '18; Mrs. Helen Z. M. Rodgers, LL.B., '99; Herbert A. Smith, M.D., '07; Karl Smither, Ph.G., '22; Paul D. Williams, LL.B., '32. Of these, two are completing four-year terms this year: Mr. Davidson, and Dr. Pritchard, who is recorder of the Alumni council. The one non-graduatenominee is Groves H. Cartledge, Davidson college alumnus, professor of chemistry' at the university. Because he is not a Buffalo graduate, he would not go on the Alumni council,which consists only of Buffalo graduates serving on the University council. There is nothing in the university's constitution and bylaws,however,which prevents alumni from electing non-graduates to the University council. Voters are cautioned against voting for more or less than three candidates. Failure to observe this rule voids the ballot. Another warning applies to the rule that not more than one graduate of any one division may be elected by the alumni each year. If more than one such alumnus is among the three highest voted for, the names of surplus members are stricken from the election return, and the next highest, in another division, is awarded the post. Thus, voters must ballot for only one graduate from each division. Ballots are due back in the University council secretary's officebyMay 31.

ALUMNI ENDORSE NEW DEAL " Caught in the swell of optimism which has followed latest developments in the university's athletic situation, alumni last month were banding together to support their "Football New Deal." As the academic season opened, that support was developing into two phases: (1) A determined drive to put season tickets into the hands of every alumnus within commuting distance of Buffalo; (2) An alumni home-coming celebration on October 27, date of the Buffalo-Toledo home game. Initiated by the Athletic council, the ticket campaign was quickly taken up by graduates. Committees of doctors, lawyers, dentists and others were organizing the sale, while individuals and flying Many a football enthusiast sits on the 50-yard line, shouts himself hoarse at kicks, passes, touchdowns, misses many thrills through ignorance of fundamentals. To teach Buffalo game-goersfootball from the ground up, Head Coach George squadrons were saving bargain-hunters the trouble of hunting for bargains. Essence of the ticket sale is the offerof four regular $1 admissions for $3. Tickets are transferable,interchangeable, may be used up by four persons at one game,by one person at four games or in any other combination. For those individuals missed by alumni salesmen, some tickets are waiting at the university end of the telephone. Tentative plans for the alumni homecoming included a stag luncheon in Norton half, an alumni cheering section reserved in the stands,a ceremonybetween halves in honor of Bulldogsof other years, a tea-dance sponsored by the students, with alumni as guests. Van Bibber has announced a spectators' clinic to be held Tuesday, October 2, at 8 P. M., on Rotary field. A huge battery of floodlights will illuminate the gridiron as the Bulldogs go through maneuvers in slow motion, illustrating the prevailing styles of offenseand defense. A tribute to the university's hopes for a successfulseason is the acceptance by Roger Baker, popular, energetic sports radio announcer, of an invitation to act as master of ceremonies that night. To carry his voice out to the hundreds expected at the clinic, a new public address system is being installed. Built last spring by students of the physics department under supervision of Dr. L. Grant Hector, the system was first used at last June's Commencementexercises,worked perfectly. Another well-known sports figure, Gene Carson, president of the Western New York Football Officials' association,will be present to explain new rules, teach spectators how to interpret officials' arm and hand signals. Other guests will be several hundred high school football players with their coaches. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO GAA NEARS 20th BIRTHDAY New Board of Trustees Plans Many Activities for Coming Year # The General Alumni association of the University of Buffalo will be 20 years old next February 22.

Following visits by Alumni Secretary William G. Cook, 8.5., '27, committees were being organized, plans laid for establishment of outposts of good-will in New York state's centers of alumni population. In Cattaraugus county the call was being issued under sponsorship of two city committees, headed by Arthur L. Runals, M.D., '11, of Olean, and Robert D. Vallely, LL.B., '30, of Salamanca. In Niagara Falls, Charles H. Brent, M.D., '29, was directing plans to hold an organization meeting. In Lockport, Niagara county's Treasurer Chester O. Baysor, LL.B., '14, was elected chairman of an organization committee of 13. In Genesee county, Charles L. Davis, M.D., '07, Batavia, was chosen chairman of a committee to plan a general organization meeting and reunion on University day, 1935. # Already far in the lead was Rochester, which has elected a board of officers headed by Charles W. Caccamise, M.D., '18, plansa dinner within a few weeks. # In prospect were other efforts in centers where these alumni have agreed to help: Daniel P. Scannell, LL.B., '23, Dunkirk; Willard E. Price, D.D.S., '21, Auburn; Louis H. Guard, Ph.G., '11, Geneva; Clayton L. Ripley, D.D.S., '18, Syracuse. Prospects were especially good in Syracuse, where once flourished an active, effective branch club. #Not on the programwas a dismal drizzle, halfrain, half snow, but nearly 100 graduthe weather to attend the Alumni Homecoming held on the campus October 27. The luncheon which opened festivities in Norton hall was condensed into the space of 30 minutes, because of an unexpected change in game time. Returning grads were still on their meat course when President Thomas F. Moran, 8.A., '30, M.A., '33, of the General Alumni association, rose to introduce Willard J. Magavern, LL.B., '25, general chairman of the day. Toastmaster Magavern in turn introduced Leslie F. Robinson, LL.B., '14, Erie county supervisor from East Aurora, who as speaker of the day, contrasted the university of 1934 with the institution he attended 20 years ago. Also at the speakers' table were Chancellor Samuel P. Capen, Pharmacy's Dean Willis G. Gregory, M.D., '82, Ph.G., '86; President Edward L. Schwabe, Ph.G., '28, of the Pharmacy Alumni association. Gulping down their coffee and dessert, the homecomers adjourned to Norton hall lobby, where Vincent J. Loughlin, LL.B., '22, presented to the student body a 175-pound bison head, the gift of himself and Kent Christy, LL.B., '24. Pronounced one of the finest and largest heads in existence, it was purchased some time ago from the Canadian government, is estimated to be worth nearly $500. Already nicknamed by undergraduate wags, the head hangs in the most commanding spot in the building—on the east facade of the central stair well —as the symbol of the name the city and University of Buffalo bear, and of the animal which dominates the university's official seal. His student-bestowed appellative: Boscoe. As Donor Loughlin finished his presentation speech, the combined Men's and Women's Glee clubs burst into the rollicking lyrics of "The Bison Is King of Them All," for which song Herbert U. Williams, M.D., '89, took first prize in an ates ignored —CHAPPELJ-E BOSCOE He waited on the east facade while homecomers gulped coffee and dessert all-university competition in 1915. Norton hall's Director Robert Parke accepted Boscoe in the name of the student body. Then graduates and friends gathered up rubbers, raincoats, umbrellas, plodded over to Rotary field wherethe kickoff had been held up 15 minutes in their behalf. Perhaps to give homecoming alumni something to remember the day by, the Bulldogs battered a favored Toledo team, slithered their way to an upset and a victory of 8 to 0. Final touch to the homecoming celebration was a post-game tea dance tendered the alumni, with Bison Head, Cap & Gown, senior men's and women's honorary societies, as hosts. DENTREUNION PLANNED # Plans are being laid for the annual reunion of the Dental Alumni association March 6-8, 1935, in Hotel Statler, Buffalo, it is announced by President Leo E. Gibbin, D.D.S., 'IS. New Librarian Here On campus as librarian of the new library, director of all libraries of the university, professor of English, was Charles Davis Abbott, former instructor in the English department, onetime member of the University of Colorado faculty, holder of degrees from Haverford college, Columbia, Oxford universities. Lockwood library, now nearing completion, is the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B. Lockwood {Bulletin, February, 1934). " Lockwood Memorial �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Bulldogs End Season " Quarterback Siggy Pelczynski received the ball from center, spun around and handed it to Bobby Belden at right halfback. Belden faded, made a neat lateral to Ken Hyer at left half. Hyer, from the 50-yard line, sped a bullet-like forward into the eager hands of Wally Vaughn who had criss-crossed from right end. Down the sidelines galloped Vaughn for a touchdown. The try for point failed justas the whistle blew, ending the game and Buffalo's 1934 grid season. Score: Hobart 19, Buffalo 13. Onlyan incautious person last September would have predicted a season of triumphs for Buffalo's Bulldogs. The old stumbling block lack of first-string and reserve material, looked too big to surmount. No incautious person is Head Coach George Van Bibber, who made no such predictions, but promised an interesting series. Interesting it certainly was, from the moment the Blue and White introduced the Notre Dame shift against Niagara. Interesting was the upset of a highly favored Toledo team by an 8-0 score. Equally interesting was the frequent presence of the Bulls in enemy territory all through the season, lacking only the scoring punch to turn thrilling threats into definite scores. Nowhit discouraged were Buffalo's football fans, who appreciated conditions, understood the problems of a new coach with a new system. Disappointed, but not daunted, was Van Bibber himself, who points to the present freshman squad as indication of a different story next season. — "If we continue to add boys like them every year," said he, "Buffalo will be the top dog inside of two more seasons."

New Series of Articles to Portray Buffalo's Standing in Academic, Professional World cently by the American Association of Schools of Social Work. Importance: It makes Buffalo products eligible for any kind of social work in the United States or Canada. If, however, one still looks for a single measure by which to gauge the university as a whole, he may turn to such agencies as the New York State Education department. From its headquarters in Albany it influences the educational policies which Buffalo alumni are becoming more and more curious concerning the academic standing of their university. "We hear about great changes," they say. "Have they been for the better or otherwise? What can you tell us aboutits present importance as acultural and educational center, that will help us decide where to send our children, or to advise our friends and neighbors where to send theirs?'1 Here follows the introduction, based on an interview with ChancellorSamuel P. Capen, to a series of articles which will attempt to answer the oft-reiterated question: How does the University of Buffalo rate? by which a university is measured, but it is difficult to apply any one such yardstick to a university as a whole. One may look upon its engineering school and say, "This is good." One may compare its school of music with some other and say, "This is inferior." Therefore, the sum of all its parts may give a fair estimate of the university's total THE CHANCELLOR All degrees conferred by him are on New York state's approved list value. Thus, for example, colleges of liberal arts are rated by several different bodies. One such istheAssociation of Secondary Schools and Colleges of the Middle States, one of the many regional associations which approve or accredit institutions within their respective areas. Its coveted approval has been extended to Buffalo's College of Arts and Sciences for the last 13 years. The Association of American Universities, a selfconstituted body of institutions which maintain strong graduate schools, such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Johns Hopkins, has since 1925 recognized the Arts college, making it the equal of any college division of any member, for the purpose of fitting students for graduate work. Third such agency is the American Association of University Women, which rates women's and co-educational colleges. Buffalo has been on its list since 1929. Schools of medicine are rated by the council on medical education of the American Medical association, which since 1908 has been classifying medical schools as A, B or C. Buffalo Medical school's rating: A. Dental schools are similarlyrated by the Dental Education Council of America. Since the council first began operations, Buffalo's Dental school has been in Class A, and until a short time ago, it had the only such rating in the whole state ofNew York. Example of the newer types of enterprise undertaken by Buffalo is the School of Business Administration. Established as a day division in 1927, it received less than three years later official national recognition by the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business. Among the university's curricula recently granted recognition is library science, which a few weeks ago went on the official list of the state of New York. From next Spring on, products of the department will receive qualifying credentials in the form of state certificates. Definite national rating was given the university's curriculum of social work re- "There are various yardsticks determine whether New York state shall have good or bad doctors, dentists, teachers. By that department are rated all the degrees granted by any college or university in the state. Method of rating: Registration of degrees. If they are registered, they are recognized, therefore rated favorably. If they are unregistered, they are unrecognized, unrated. Only those degrees meeting rigid, exacting state standards are registered. New York's registered degrees therefore, have entree to polite academic society anywhere in the nation. All degrees of all divisions of the University of Buffalo are so registered. Next month: The School of Medicine and how it stands after 88 years of existence. Plan Business Talks 0A series of monthly round-table confer- with prominent Buffalo businessmen and members of the university faculty, is planned by the Business Administration Alumni association. Each meeting will feature a 20-minute speech, followed by questions and answers from the floor, according to President Norman H. Kayser, B.S. in Bus. Ad., '32. A social hour will follow. Leading off on December 18 with a discussion of government credit policies by Shaw Livermore, assistant professor of economics, subsequent meetings were to cover banking, insurance, retailing, relief, related subjects. Chairman of the initial meeting was Nelson J. (Sunny) Cotton, B.S. in Bus. Ad., '32. ences �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO GAA NEARS ITS VICENNIUM Nationally Known Speaker to Address Birthday Dinner #When President Thomas F. Moran, 8.A., '30, M.A.,33, left Buffalo a few weeks ago to conduct a job analysis in Akron for the state of Ohio, the responsibility of guiding the General Alumni association for the balance of its 20th year of existence fell upon Vice President Irving R. Templeton, LL.B., '09. No shirker, Lawyer Templeton lost no time in preparing for the fruition of the year's plans, laying new ones for additional activities. "First big problem was the vicennial celebration recommended sometime ago by the program committee (Bulletin, October, 1934). Originally scheduled as a University day luncheon, the committee reconsidered, decided on an evening dinner on February 21. As the month sped by, negotiations were being completed for the engagement of a nationally famous speaker, preparations made for use of one of Buffalo's downtown hotels. Out of the next meeting of the GAA executive committee was expected to come the appointment of a general chairman for the event. Main job:To deliver an attendance in keeping with the importance of the speaker. "Second big problem was the creation of an alumni speakers' bureau, which will have available a group of volunteer 30-minute men ready to fill engagements any place in Western New York. Its chairman already appointed {see page 4) it is expected the bureau will be ready to function by January. "Third big problem was a new one. Involving direct co-operation with the student body, it arose a fortnight ago when the University of Buffalo Debating society came to the alumni looking for asponsor of a public debate with the University of Hawaii. The program committee weighed the matter, recommended the project as a constructive, appropriate activity of the GAA. Then arose the question of a financial guarantee for the visiting team's expenses. Forth came an alumnus who insists on remaining anonymous, to put up the stake, relieve the GAA treasury of strain. Next morning Vice President Templeton had appointed a chairman of the debate (see page 3), which will be one of next Spring's most interesting alumni activities. Still on the GAA calendar: 1) an alumni basketball night; 2) the second annual Spring dinner and dance; 3) a definite programof co-operation with the university's student recruiting personnel. "While all these activities mark 20 years of the GAA's life, Helmsman Templeton February 21 has given more than that many years' individual service to the university since his graduation in 1909. He spent 12 years on the Faculty-Student Activities committee, ten years as its chairman; he gave 12 years of gratuitous lectures at the Law school; he was four years secretary of the Faculty NEW HELMSMAN Irving R. Templeton, who adds another fine service to his long list senate, was chairman of its legislative com- mittee which revised and co-ordinated all the laws and regulations governing the individual colleges. He served four years as an important figure in the old Federated Alumni association, aided in its re-organization, founded the Alumni News, was its editor one year. He is one of the Law Alumni association's delegates to the GAA board of trustees, has another fiscal year to serve. Europe's War Debt Some alumni pledges in the 1929 Endowment Campaign remain unpaid. Token Payments are welcome, and of course, full payments will be gratefully received. Rochester, Hobart Out #Few days after a recent stormy session of the New York State Athletic conference, Rochester university, one of its founders and former traditional rival of Buffalo, announced its resignation. Reason: A conference resolution to enforce an old rule that each member must play at least four other members every year, and all members within a three-year period. Rochester has not adhered to the rule of recent years. Six days later, Hobart college followed suit. That Hamilton may follow Hobart and Rochester out of the conference is the current rumor. This would reduce the membership to four, might spell the end of the conference. than last year at this time were Buffalo's basketball prospects as the 1934-35 season and Art Powell's 20th year as coach began. Improved spirit, better material were regarded as favorable indices. The schedule: Dec. 15—Toronto, home Jan. 4—Michigan, home Jan. s—Cornel,5—Cornell, home Jan. 11 —Clarkson, away Jan. 12—St. Lawrence, away Jan. 19—Alfred, away Feb. 6—Alfred, home Feb. 9—Hobart, away Feb. 14—Clarkson, home Feb. 16—St. Lawrence, home Feb. 22—Colgate, home Mar. 2—Hobart, home "By a nice balancing of scores, a mathematically inclined member of the Bee staff last month waggishly proved that Buffalo is the logical Rose Bowi contender, being six touchdowns better than Stanford. Alumni Honor Squads "Faculty, students, alumni foregathered a big stag party sponsored by the University of Buffalo Alumni club. The occasion: To honor the football, basketball squads. The program was a heterogeneous compound of boxing, wrestling, tumbling, fencing, singing, eating, speaking. Among the speakers were Basketball Coach Art Powell, Grid Captain Bob Rich, Football Coach George Van Bibber. Announced by Van Bibber was the action of the Athletic council in making the following football awards: Seven varsity sweaters, seven gold varsity footballs, four varsity certificates, 16 freshman numerals. During the partythe football squadwent into its last huddle of the season, elected 1935 co-captains, Quarterback Siggy Pelczynski and Ace Lineman Johnny Rappole. a few nights ago for �3 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN Where Are They Now?

CompletesThirtyYears 0 Thirty years ago there came to the University of Buffalo a tall, lean gentleman, to become dean of its School of Law. By his accent one would have taken him for a New Englander, and such, by education, he was, for he was brought up in the state of Maine, though born in Illinois. This newcomer had already put 38 years of life behind him. He had been graduated from the New York university Law school, had subsequently earned his degree of master of laws, had served nine years on that institution's faculty, and al- To Debate Hawaiians "Signifying the return of interest in the the General Alumni association this month announced plans to sponsor a forensic encounter next March between the University of Hawaii and the University of Buffalo. Contracts now being drawn up by the two teams provide for a discussion of some great international question. Probable subject for debate will include the current, burning question of conflicting JapaneseAmerican influences in the Pacific as related to that strategic locality, the Hawaiian Islands. Chosen general chairman of the event was John Theodore Horton, 8.A., '26, assistant professor of history and government, onetime manager, president of debate. Majoring in history at Buffalo, Alumnus Horton won his master's degree at Harvard in 1929, will be examined for his doctor's degree in January. He was once president of Muse and Masque, was elected to Bison Head fraternity, is now president of Buffalo chapter, Sons of the Revolution. art of debate, Registration Is Bigger 75 PER CENT HIS Law's Dean Carlos Coolidge Alden, whohas served since 1904 In 1912 he became the Bull Moose candidate for the Court of Appeals, and the next year was the Democratic and Progressive candidate for the Supreme court bench. In 1922 he became president of the Buffalo Legal Aid bureau, has served ever since. From 1928 to 1933 he was counsel to the New York State Decedent Estate commission. He was appointed by Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt and again by Gov. Herbert H.Lehman as special commissioner to investigate the Edward Larkman case. To commemorate his 30 years of service to the university, the bench and bar of Western New York, students and alumni of the Law school, a few nights ago held a testimonial banquet in Buffalo's Hotel Lafayette. They honored him for his many public appointments, for his many legal writings, most of all for his influence on the local bar, 75 per cent of which he numbers among his former students. Even the mayor of Buffalo contributed to the occasion by officially proclaiming the day Carlos C. Alden day. To the Law school senior class: Credit for initiating the entire celebration. #A gain of nearly 2 per cent in student registration is recorded this year by Miss Emma E. Deters, university registrar. Total enrollment for the first semester is 3552 as against 3487 last year. The day division showed a decrease of eight students, but the number of fulltime students increased by five. Greatest gain was in the Evening session, where 73 more students registered than last year. The Law school showed the biggest day session gain—a total of 15. The college increased its registration by four, while the Schoolof Medicine lost two, the School of Dentistry four, the Schoolof Pharmacy 21. Business Administration remained the same.

This would bring the increase up to nearly 4 per cent. Freshman enrollment in the day divisions gained more than 5 per cent over last year. �4 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN Published monthly except July, August and September, by the University of Buffalo at 3435 Main Street, Buffalo, N.

Bertram Lemon Foster Hall Form Speakers' Group "One of the most constructive projects undertaken by the graduate body was started this month by the General Alumni association. Announced was the appointment of Roswell P. Rosengren, LL.B., '27, to the important task of building up a speakers' bureau, to operate under alumni auspices. Twenty-four hours after his appointment, Bureau | Chairman Rosenen had laid his ans: To appoint vice chairman rom each divional alumni association, who in urn will select rom five to ten epresentative a umni willing to ake not more t lan two addresseach year; to ugment the buMb. Rosengren reau by appointments from the various faculties, thus making a list of speakers on every conceivable subject. Purposes of the speakers' bureau: 1) to provide speakers for branch alumni clubs, several of which are now being established or re-established; 2) to provide speakers for high school audiences in connection with the university's student recruiting program; 3) to provide speakers for other non-university gatherings which are continually seeking timely information on cultural, scientific, educational subjects. Such speakers would appear under alumni sponsorship. An example of the latter type of purpose was the recent annual meeting of the Men's club of Salamanca Congregational church, at which John T. Horton, 8.A., '26, assistant professor of history and government, spoke on the subject: "If the NRA Is Unconstitutional —." Sponsored by the alumni of Cattaraugus county, the address held the audience of 75 for nearly an hour, evoked many hints about a return engageever ment.

Looking at operating deficits, declining enrollments, loss of income from invested funds, it was impossible to predict whether or not these tendencies would continue. The council assumed their continuance. It adopted for the year 1933-34 a balanced budget. Fortunately the council's forecast on which the budget estimates were based proved sufficiently conservative. The university finished the year with a surplus— for the first time in a decade. When the council came in June, 1934, to adopt a budget for the year 1934-35, it pursued the same conservative policy as in the preceding year. Drastic salary reductions were continued. The utmost economy was exercised in appropriations for physical items. A further loss in both major categories of income, fee income and endowment income, was anticipated. On this basis, a balanced budget for the year 1934-35 was adopted. That the university has been able for two years in succession, in the midst of a great economic depression, at atime when other colleges and universities have suffered disaster, to balance its budget and to conduct its operations without serious impairment must be in the highest degree encouraging. It should not be forgotten that the principal contributors to these satisfactory results are the members of the teaching, administrative and other staffs of the university, who have cheerfully faced the sacrifices required by the large reduction of their income and have given the university even more loyal and devoted service than in the days of its relative prosperity. Buildings Gifts specifically made for the erection of two buildings have enabled the university to continue the physical improvement of the campus. Norton hall, on February 26, 1934, was formally dedicated and opened for student and faculty use. During the year also, the contract for the erection of the Lockwood Memorial library was let and the exterior of the building was nearly completed. When the library is finished the university will haveneed ofonly one other educational building on the campus in the near future, namely, an adequate gymnasium for men and women. In no other department is the university so handicapped for facilities. It is hoped that the friends of the university may soon be moved to repair this deficiency. Physical Education, Athletics For some time it has been evident that the lack of co-ordination between intramural sports and intercollegiate athletics has retarded the development of both. A vacancy in the position of football coach gave the Athletic council an opportunity to appoint a committee to prepare a plan for the unification of all the university's activities in physical education and athletics. The plan finally submitted was endorsed by the Athletic council, and adopted, with minor modifications, by the committee on general administration June 7, 1934. The physical education program for the women students has always been conducted under peculiar handicaps. Notwithstanding these obstacles the work in physical education has been exceedingly successful. The university's constituency During the past year the university has made a special effort to bring its offerings to the attention of its normal constituency. The Newsbureau has been a little better supported and has expanded its information service. A special committee on visitation and publication has attempted to keep the high schools of this area informed of the university's offerings. The newly appointed alumni secretary has likewise served as an effective interpreter of the university to alumni groups and other interested persons in Western New York. For several years the university has held an Acquaintance day in May. Seniors in Buffalo high schools who. are planning to attend the university are invited to visit the institution on Acquaintance day and learn at first hand of its facilities. It is evident that the university should apply still more energy to the task of self interpretation. I am emphatically of the opinion that the University of Buffalo should not compete with other institutions in high pressure salesmanship or undignified advertising. I dorecommend, however, that the council consider the desirability of developing somewhat further the information service which is exactly what its name implies and nothing more. Scholarship funds of the university are very limited. Particularly in a period of economic distress like the present they are altogether inadequate for an institution of this size. No gifts that might be made to the university at this stage of its development would do more good than gifts for scholarships. One hundred dollars, or even less, often represents the difference between what the university charges and what the student can pay. Many able students who belong to our normal constituency are forced to postpone indefinitely, or perhaps to forego, the continuance of their education. Central university services During the year just passed the Bureau of Personnel Research has found positions for a total of 281 students and graduates. The bureau is first of all an agency of investigation. The scientific studies which it makes of the problems of student advising and guidance and of the character and results of the educational programs of the university have come to be indispensable to the College of Arts and Sciences. The publications of the bureau have gained wide recognition throughout the country as especially valuable contributions to this new field of educational science. For two years the director of the bureau has also directed the investigation of superior students coming from the Buffalo high schools to the university, for the support of which the General Education board has made a five-year grant. During the Summerof 1934the university published a report on the first two years of this under- �6 taking, entitled, "Studies of Articulation of High School and College." The University of Buffalo is already altering its educational procedure in accordance with the findings ofthis investigation. As the volume circulates among other institutions it is to be expected that many of them will also alter their practice in accordance with these findings. The budget of the Bureau of Business and Social Research was cut in half two yearsago. Notwithstanding this handicap, the bureau has continued to publish the statistical survey regularly and to issue special studies in the form of supplements. The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the U. S. Department of Commerce found that the statistical survey is one of the most complete services collecting business data in the country, and that with respect to strictly city indices it is the most complete in the United States. Faculty activities Membersof the faculty have been called upon to a greater extent than in the preceding yearfor state and national service. Among them are: Dean Clarence S. Marsh, educational director of the CCC; Dr. Ralph C. Epstein, member of the executive staffof the Committeeon Government Statistics; Dr. Percy W. Bidwell, in charge of preparation of materials of social science instruction for the CCC; Dr. Edmund D. McGarry, government representative on the National Code authority for the All Metal Screen industry and a member of the Buffalo Compliance board; Dr. Thomas L. Norton, impartial chairman of the Curtiss Arbitration board; Assistant Dean Lester S. Kellogg, chairman of the Erie County Consumers' council under the Emergency Relief administration; Dr. Niles Carpenter, visiting professor of sociology at Harvard; Dr. OliverC. Lockhart, continuing as financial adviser to the Chinese government. The college In 1931 the College of Arts and Sciences adopted new programsfor both the junior and senior colleges. The success of this organization of the college curriculum depends first, upon the quality of advice afforded each student, and second, upon the character of the comprehensive examination. During the year under review the faculty has devoted its attention to the improvement of its advising and examining procedures. The college has set itself the goal of developing a group of experienced advisers who will see each student as an individual and will enter sympathetically into his problems. It is believed that the college makes steady progress toward this goal. The comprehensive examinations given all seniors have been greatly improved. Comprehensive examinations are in force at a UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO number of institutions. It is therefore possible for one institution to compare its examinations with those of another. Such comparisons indicate that the more recent examinations given at the University of Buffalo are as significant tests of the range and quality of a student's achievements as any. The Library Science course now has state recognition. Early in the year under review the university applied for membership in the American Association ofSchools of Social Work, was admitted to membership in May. This recognition is important because of the requirement now appearing in municipal, state and national legislation that to be eligible for appointment to welfare posts candidates must be graduates of recognized schools of social work. The Medical school Theeffort to unify and polarize the medical course has naturally led to scrutiny of the examining procedure which has prevailed for a number of years. The Medical school appointed a committee early in the year under review to study the system of examinations in force and to recommend such changes as might seem to bedesirable. The committee was early persuaded that for future practitioners a final examination of the comprehensive type would be the most significant test of competence. The examination was administered by way of experiment to the senior class in April, 1934. Both the committee and the faculty are convinced that more accurate and revealing measurements of the ability and attainments of the students have resulted from this initial experiment than have been secured by any of the methods previously employed. The Medical school proposes to continue the experiment. In order both to relieve the individuals concerned of a portion of the teaching load and also to enhance the efficiency of the teaching in tie City hospital, the university added to the teaching staff assigned for duty in the hospital and established three new professorships—one each in medicine, surgery, urology. The organization of the new Department of Post Graduate and Continuation Work has given great impetus to work in this field. The co-operative arrangements between the City hospital and the university lor the education of nurses has been steadily perfected. The degree offered by the university to those who complete the combined course is registered bythe New York State Department of Education. The first degree was granted in June, 1934. The Dental school By the will of the late Dr. Victor W. Lay, money became available during the year for the establishment of an orthodontia clinic in the Dental school. The dental curriculum is constantly under review. In the past year there have been two under- takings designed still further to perfect the technical education of the dental student. Thefaculty has prepared a complete technical exhibit demonstrating every step in the most typical dental operations in all branches. The second innovation applies to the work of the advanced students. Each of them is now given complete responsibility for the diagnosis and treatment of the cases coming under his charge in the infirmary. The faculty reports a marked improvement in the technical competence of the students. The Law school During the year under review the Law school has sought to guide the student to an understanding of the import of federal and state emergency legislation as affecting private obligations and rights, together with the attitude of thecourts toward it. The Business school Although relatively new, the School of Business Administration is unquestionably one of the strongest divisions of the university. It is admirably equipped, and it is served by a staff of unusual distinction. The downward tendency in its enrollment has been reversed as its offerings have been brought more generally to public attention. In addition to the periodic conferences at which officers of local companies discuss current business problems, the school has arranged for trips through various plants and for interviews between senior students and members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. The faculty has continued to respond generously to thedemands of organizations for interpretations of current economic questions. This is a teaching function of the highest significance and value. The School of Education The School of Education, the newest division ofthe university, has made steady progress toward the refinement of its very unorthodox program. The school in cooperation with the College of Arts and Sciences has undertaken to give state requirements coherence and to vitalize them, by means of what is known as the Senior Professional unit. On the undergraduate level the school also offers a co-operative program with the School of Fine Arts of the Buffalo Fine Arts academy. On the graduate level the school offers work leading to the degrees of master of education and doctor of education. In 1933-34 there were 114candidates for the degree of master of education and 11 candidates for the degree of doctor of education. The Evening session The Evening session continues to grow. The quality of the student body continues to improve and to become more stable. Evidence accumulates that the Evening session has emerged from the promotion stage of its development.

The School of Medicine and How It Stands after Eighty-Eight Years Last month was published the preliminary statement concerning the academic and professional standing of the University of Buffalo. The series which it introduced is an attempt to answer the scores of questions on the lips of its alumni. Based on an interview with Chancellor Samuel P. Capen, it described, in a general way, some of the reasons why Buffalo graduates may well be proud of the institution. This month appears in more detail the argument for the Medical school, from the viewpoint ofDean Edward W. Koch. Alumni News Brevities Activities of Buffalo alumni during the month made the following news: ♦Elected vice president of the Association ofUniversity and CollegeBusiness Officers of the Eastern States at Pinehurst, S. C, was EMILY H. WEBSTER, 8.A., '23, assistant treasurer of the University of Buffalo. "Appointed assistant district attorney of Chautauqua county was EDWIN G. O'CONNOR, LL.B., '27, of Brocton, N.Y. "Elected officers of the Buffalo Charity Eye, Ear and Throat hospital were: FRANK V. HOEHN, M.D., '10, first vice president; FRANK A. MAMMANNA, M.D.,20, secretary; NORTON H.

"Awarded atrip to the annual Rose Bowl football contest was HOWARD K. FALLER, D.D.S., '17, for correctly naming the All-American eleven in the Buffalo Evening News-All America Board of Football contest. past ♦Question: How well are Buffalo graduates prepared, as evidenced by satisfactory service as internes?Buffalo medical graduatescompare favorably with those of other institutions. Dean Koch bases this declaration on received from hospital executives into whose ken Buffalo men come. This is true of hospitals and clinics in and out of Buffalo. The dean annually writes to these executives for comments on the ability of Buffalo-educated internes. "I would have to think hard to remember," says he, "a single unfavorable report." This indicates that the school is properly training its students for such work. Furthermore, it is constantly seeking improvements in that training. Medical education all over the United States is in a state of flux at present. As in general education, standards are changing. Buffalo is in step with these changes, is even now experimenting with its medical curriculum and examinations. (See chancellor's report, page 5). Question: To what heights have Buffalo graduates risen in the medical profession? Scarcely a year goes by that does not see some Buffalo men working under research scholarships, such as those granted by the National Research council and the Rockefeller foundation. Many have risen to key positions in the field of public health—city, county, state, national. There are those who have become editors and regular contributors to important andrevered professional journals. Some have become executivesof hospitals and clinicsin many cities. Some are department heads, advisers, teachers in the nation's medical schools and colleges. In various medical associations and societies, Buffalo men, who have the respect of their colleagues, are continually being elected to office, as leaders of the profession. In private practice there are scores of eminent specialists and general practitioners, whose namesare too numerous to mention here. Question: Is the Buffalo Medical school approved by the agencies which controlmedical education? TheAssociation ofAmerican Medical Colleges has Buffalo on its ap- Thus, in the 88 years of its existence, the University of Buffalo Medical school has kept abreast of the times, is today a modern, progressive institution in -which its alumni cantake great pride. Next month: The School ofPharmacy. reports DEAN EDWARD W. KOCH His school is one of which Buffalo alumni may wellbe proud proved list. To qualify,an institution must, among other things: Have adequately equipped laboratories; have sufficient personnel to carry the teaching load, trained in the medical sciences; have access to adequate clinical facilities, with teaching rights in approved hospitals. Buffalo qualifies on all these points. The council on medical education and hospitals of the American Medical association decides by existence of similar qualifications whether an institution shall have an A, B or C rating. Buffalo rates A. The New York State Department of Education has similar stringent requirements for recognition of the degree of doctor of medicine. Graduates of unrecognized medical schools may not practice in New York state. Buffalo's degree is recognized. Question: Does the school offer any facilities for continuing education after graduation? Buffalo was a pioneer in the field of postgraduate "refresher" studies, establishing such courses 14 yearsago. In addition, the school sponsors weekly clinics in various hospitals for the benefit of practitioners in the area. Both activities are well regarded, well attended. The school also offers opportunities for graduate work leading to the degree of M.S. in medicine. Question: What is the school doing about research? Special studies are being made continually, not all of them leading to spectacular results, but nonetheless important. Last year there were 40research projects going on, while 39 papers were published in scientific journals on subjects ranging from Addison's disease to yaws. ..

The summer session The summer sessions of other universities had been declining for at least two years, while ours held its own. This year ours lost over 13per cent. In spite of unexplained fluctuations in enrollment the contribution of the university through its Summer session to the opportunities for advanced study available in this area is unique and indispensable. Graduate study Each division of the university now administers its own program of graduate work leading to advanced degrees. For some years the university has been under constant pressure to admit students to candidacy for the degree of doctor of philosophy. It has proceeded in this direction very slowly and cautiously. But one Ph.D. degree has been conferred in the last ten years. The recent strengthening of several of the departments, however, raises the issue sharply. The committee on graduate study and degrees hasaddressed itself during the year under review especially to this question. It has formulated definitely the requirements for the degree of doctor of philosophy and has secured faculty approval of them. Twelve students have thus far been accepted as candidates for the degree. The constant increase of the demand for graduate work, in the face of exceptionallyhigh fees and high standards, is evidence both of the need for educational opportuni- JL \J Mr - Lester S.

King General Chairman of 20th Anniversary; Reservations Now BeingTaken " Twenty years ago this month was formed the Federated Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo. With Lesser Kauffman, M.D., '04, as the guiding spirit, the organization became the House of Representatives for all the divisional alumni associations then in existence. The organization carried on until 1926, when acomplete re-organization was effected, the name changed to the Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo. Dr. Kauffman, who had served many yearsas president, became president emeritus. The association founded the Alumni News, maintained an alumni office, fostered branch clubs, conducted Commencement reunions every June. Came the Depression. Most activities ceased until 18 months ago, when the newlyformedAlumnicouncil re-established an alumni office, appointed a full-time alumni secretary. General, divisional, branch alumni groups have become reactivated, are finding new, constructive things to do, are lookingto the future with definiteprograms. Look Back 20 Years But into the past they look too—back 20 years to the founding of the alumni federation.In celebration of that founding, the GeneralAlumni association will hold its 20th anniversary dinner Feb. 21 in Buffalo's Hotel Lafayette. Hundreds of graduates in Buffalo and surrounding territory are making reservations, planning to attend this gala event. The program will include an address by Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Stanford university in California, former Secretary of the Interior, on "University Men in a Practical World;" speeches by Chancellor Samuel P.

B. to Share Estate Hamilton Resigns Too The University of Buffalo was named in the will of the late Albert Schelling, Buffalo attorney, it was announced recently. The will awards to an only son, Robert F. Schelling, life income from a trust fund of $200,000 plus whateverremains after the creation of other trusts. After his death, one-halfof the fund is to be divided among the university, and four hospitals. The same institutions will divide a $100,000 trust fund which Mr. Schelling created for his secretary, who receives the income until her death. Resignation of Hamilton college from the New York State Athletic conference was announced a few weeks ago, making the third member to withdraw from the since the meetinglast Fall when conference a rule was passed that each member must play at least four others each year (Bulletin, December,1934). Already withdrawn were Rochester and Hobart, leaving only four members: Buffalo, Alfred, Clarkson, St. Lawrence. Hamilton's action is regarded by observers as spellingthe death of the conference. " " LIBRARY NEARLY READY TO OPEN To Name Medal Winner Onceagain the University council was in secret session this month, making decisions in anticipation of the 35th annual University day convocation and mid-year commencement, Feb. 22. To be revealed that day at exercises in Edmund Hayes hall: The identity of the ninth recipient of the Chancellor's medal and Buffalo'sMan of the Year. Established by the late Chancellor CharlesP. Norton, donor of Norton hall, the medal is to be awarded annually in perpetuity to the citizen of Buffalo who, in the opinion of the University council, has done most to bring honor to his city. An idea of the importance of the event in the public mind is given by the fact that Buffalo newspapers, supplied with advance confidential releases,hold presses until the hour of announcement,then rush copies to the streets with all the hubbub of election returns. Only once has a newspaper broken the release. That time it scooped itsrivals by 20 minutes. Main speaker will be Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Stanford university in California, former secretary of the interior. His subject: "Flock Flying." Night beforehe will address the 20th anniversary dinner of the General Alumni association in Hotel Lafayette (see page 1). To be awarded: Several diplomas and " certificatestothemid-yeargraduatingclass. Where Are They Now? Mail addressed to the following alumni has been returned for lack of correct addresses.

Alumni News Brevities Seven Factors Support Alumni Pride in the School of Pharmacy Activities of Buffalo alumni during the Past month made thefollowing news: This is the third in a series of articles on the academic and professional standing of the various divisions of the University of Buffalo. Here follows a five-minute glance at the SchoolofPharmacy which,established in 1886,has operatedfor the last 45 yearsunder thedeanship of Willis G.Gregory, M.D., '82, Ph.G.,'86. Named assistant to the Buffalo district state health officer was Daniel C. Fisher, " M.D., '24, for six yearshealth officerof the town of Clarence. " " ■ # Buffalo has never had difficulty in meeting New York state's requirements for pharmacy schools. Rather has Buffalo been consistently a leader in elevating those requirements. Thus the recognition of her Ph.G. degree (threeyears) and B.S. degree (four years) has been almost a matter of course. " But the Schoolof Pharmacy may be judged by seven other factors: caliber of 1) instruction and 2) faculty; 3) completeness of building and equipment; 4) opportunity for electives; 5) association in a large university; 6) location in an urban community; 7) achievements of its PHARMACY'S DEAN GREGORY His division's four-year curriculum will become mandatory in 1937 graduates. Instruction is carried on by full-time teachers,not graduate students or parttime assistants. It has more teachers per student than any other pharmacy school of record, thus offering more individual instruction. Faculty members are specially trained for their work. The common practice of drawing on teachers from other divisions does not hold here. Each teacher in the division, whether his subject be biology, physics,chemistry, has had pharmaceutical training, sees his subject through the eyes of a licensed pharmacist, governs his instruction accordingly. Building and equipment are second to none in the United States.Foster hall is valued at $744,909, its furniture and fixtures at $18,088, its scientific equipment at $36,309. Facilities are as nearly perfect as it is possible to make them. From incubators to refrigerators, from test tubes to microprojectors, everything is complete. Elective subjects are available to those who want them in addition to the "core" subjects. Under the four-year curriculum, now elective but mandatory starting in 1937,it is possible to choose one of five courses in pharmacy. By this system the student may prepare for a career as pharmaceutical chemist,business or manufacturing executive, hospital or clinical technician, highly trained manufacturing and dispensing pharmacist, or he may go on with a medical or dental education, Appointed to the Buffalo health department's district staff as epidemiologist was HarryL. Chant, M.D., '28. Appointed to the National Non-Partisan Committeefor Ratification of the Federal Child Labor Amendment in 1935 was D. Rumsey Wheeler, LL.B., '16. Elected president of the Broome County Pharmaceutical association was Austin M. Johnston, Ph.G., '16, of Binghamton. Elected first vice president was Everett W. Crone, Ph.G., '16, of the same city. His son Kenneth is a freshman in the Schoolof Pharmacy. Promoted to the rank of colonel in the U. S. Medical Corps reserve was Buffalo's Health CommissionerFrancis E. Fronczak, M.D., '97. Elected potentate of Ismailia temple, A.A.0.N.M.5., was Buffalo's City Court Judge Clifford J. Chipman, LL.B., '07. Appointed Philadelphia district manager in the automobile division of the Liberty Mutual Insurance company was Herbert Schwartz, B.S. in Bus. Ad., '29. Resigning from the presidency of the Business Administration Alumni association, Norman H. Kayser, B.S. in Bus. Ad., '32, was in Rochester as managerof a new branch of G. A. Kayser & Son. In Fostoria, 0., to take over executive duties for the Farmers' National Grain corporation was Nelson J. Cotton, B.S. in Bus. Ad., '32. Elected to Buffalo chapter of Delta Phi Alpha, national honorary German fraternity, was Emilie C. Mayer, 8.A., '26. leaving the university with two degrees, knowledge of two professions. Association is important. In a large uniextra inspiration for students and faculty alike. The affiliation affordsan opportunityto participate in the activities of a big student body, turns out professional men and women who know how to play intelligently. Location in Buffalo, a city of over 600,000population,means the student has a good chance to "work his way through school." It also offersa natural fieldfor the new graduate. Achievements of its graduates are noteworthy.Some havebecome important executives in wholesale,retail drug concerns. Some have reached high offices in professionalassociations,marking them as recognized leaders amongtheir colleagues. Somehave goneon to important teaching posts, including deanships of pharmacy schools. Some have been called into high councils for assistance in altering, improvingeducational and professional standards. Finally there are the more than 1500 in the rank and file who have become typical American merchants —comfortable,happy, respected in the ownership of that typical American mercantile institution—the drug versity there is store. Next month: The Schoolof Law and its influence on the bench and bar.

Thus was revealed on University day the name of the ninth recipient of the university'shighest honor,climaxing days of speculation. Of historic significance, it marks the first time that the accolade has been bestowed on a woman or an artist.

From amateur and stock productions, Katherine Cornell graduated to the New York Theater guild, by rigid discipline won stardom and acclaim as the reigning actress of the American stage. Outstanding triumphs: A Bill of Divorcement,The GreenHat, Will Shakespeare, Casanova, Candida,The Letter,The Age of Innocence, Dishonored Lady, The Barretts of Wimpole Street,Romeo and Juliet. Also awarded: Fifty-seven diplomas and certificates. Speaker of the day: Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Stanford university in California who, in an address on "Flock Flying," expressed distrust in popular theories of economic security, fear for the fateof individuality,hope for the academic circle as the savior of popular government. Awarded in Absentia Miss Cornell was unable to be present because of a rehearsal in Manhattan. Also absent was her father, Dr. Peter C. Cornell, who has been an alumnus of the Medical school since 1888. Thereforeher uncle, Douglas Cornell, received the award for her. Said Chancellor Samuel P. Capen in making the presentation: "The Chancellor's medal,providedthrough the imaginative generosity of the late Chancellor Norton, is, by the donor's direction, awarded only on Washington's birthday, and only to some person identified with this community whose achievements are deemed by the university to be worthy of its highest honor "This year for the first time the medal is awarded to a woman, and the first time to an artist Shehas created characters so vivid, so complete, so consistent and so compelling that they have .. become a part of the imaginative life of our time Shehas brought back the past and made it seem both real and contemporaneous .. . . . . . .. .. World Citizen "Of Buffalo parentage and upbringing, serving here much of her artistic apprenticeship, she has,with the passageof the years, and as the exigencies of her art demand, become a citizen of the world.

But within five minutes everyonerealized he was focussing atten- tion on current governmental experiments, on President Franklin D. Roosevelt,on the New Deal,as part of the practical world in which every university man and woman should show interest. Excerpts: "Do you realize how fortunate it was that old Dr. Townsend kept on bringing in babies instead of theories before now? If he had brought in his ideas in 1933, when we were biting on anything that glittered, where would we have been today? .. The hand of the tyrant is coming over the world, seizing governments that we thought belonged to the people ... We find the hand of power coming over this country .. There is a marked overcentralization that may take us back to the Middle Ages .. Governmentand governmentin a democracy, is not working as well as it should. This failure has led us to unload our problems on dictators." Other speakers: ChancellorSamuel P. Capen; President Irving R. Templeton, LL.B., '09, of the GeneralAlumni associa- . .. tion; Alumni Secretary William G. Cook, 8.5., '27. James E. King, M.D., '96, genial, dignified president of the Medical Alumni association, proved a popular choice as toastmaster. Also at the speakers' table were Supreme Court Justice Samuel J. Harris, LL.B., '07, LL.M., '08, chairman of the Alumni council,and the presidents of the divisional alumni associations,except Law's Henry Adsit Bull, LL.B., '98, who was represented by Vice President Francis E. Bagot, LL.B., '04. Music was not lacking. A string trio composed of Harriet E. Lewis, 8.A., '26, violinist; Mildred Laube Knapp (talented wife of Lester S.Knapp, M.D., '27), harpist, and Robert C.

Law School Graduates Have Risen to High Places " This is thefourthof a series of articles on the academic and professional standing of the seven divisions of the University of Buffalo. Here follows a five-minute glance at the SchoolofLaw, largest law school in New York state outside New York city. When, in 1887,the Buffalo Law school as an affiliate of Niagara university, its LL.B. degree was promptly registered with the state of New York. When, in 1891,the school was admitted to the University of Buffalo, that recognition continued. Today the degree is still on the state's approved list. Under state law, the holder of the degree is guaranteed certain " was founded teams. Not worried about seasoned players to fill every position was Coach Van Bibber. No more worried was he about that perennial bete noire—scholastic ability. rights. When the university confers the degree that individual becomes eligible immediately to take the examinaadmission to the bar. He then tions for serves one year's clerkship in a law office beforehe is finallysworn in, unless he also possesses an arts college degree, in which case he is admitted to the bar as soon as he passes the examinations. But without a law degree he must study four arduous years in a law office beforehe may face the bar examiners. The unpopularity of this route to a legal career is attested to by the fact that less than 2 per cent of the candidates each year are lawoffice products, more than 98 per cent are law school products. Every other state in the union also requires a bar examination. A University of Buffalo Law school graduate has but to produce a catalog showing the curriculum he followed, to be admitted to the examination forthwith. Few months ago, Law school alumni helped Dr. Carlos C. Alden celebrate his 30th anniversary as dean (Bulletin, December, 1934). "Neverin those 30 years," says he, "has any Buffalo law graduate been refused the opportunity for admission to the bar of any other state." Secondpoint on which Buffalo alumni can base their judgmentof the Law school is the success of its graduates in the bar examinations. Annually an averageof less than 50 per cent of the graduates of the institutions in New York state succeed on the first attempt. Buffalo is generally around the average mark, but last year jumped to 62 per cent. Thus its 1934 graduatingclass did over 12per cent better than the averageof the graduates of other law schools in New York and other states. What happens to Buffalo graduates after admission to the bar? Scoreshave risen to high places in private practice. Their names may be found in the fields of On bulletin boards throughout the university few days ago appeared an invitation to report for Spring football practice. With the frozen earth only beginning to yield to the sun, Head CoachGeorge Van Bibber already is lookingahead to Autumn, when he intends to put a much improved team on the field. Until the weather definitely breaks, indoor practice will prevail. Later the squad will don moleskins,go to work on the gridiron. Date of first practice: March 18. Expected turnout: 55. Spring practice will end May 4 with a regulation game between two matched on a graduate, team LAW'S DEAN ALDEN His division's graduates do well in the N. Y. state bar examinations manufacturing, commerce, utilities, banking, finance,insurance. Imposing indeed is the list of those who have achievedsuccess as general practitioners, corporation attorneys, estate and trust advisors. Equally significant are the public places which they fill. Today, four of the Eighth Judicial district's Supreme court justices are Buffalo alumni. So is the Erie county judge. So are nine of the ten Buffalo City court judges. So,too, the Buffalo corporation counsel,the federalattorney for the Buffalo district, the county attorney, a large proportion of the legal staffs of the national, state, county, city governments in the locality. Throughout the state the story is similar. Scarcely a county but has one or more Buffalolaw graduates in the public service. They may be found in all ranks, appointive and elective, from peace justice to state legislator and back again.

Permit No. 311 COUNCIL ELECTION COMING Vote-by-Mail Choice of Athletic Council Delegates to be Used Every year Buffalo graduates take advantage of powers granted under the uni- mittee; Council Secretary Goetz (non- versity charter, by choosing three alumni representatives on the University council. To advise graduates of the forthcoming election and to invite nominations for that event, Philip Becker Goetz, secretary of the council, within a few days will send formal notice to all degree-holders. April is nomination month. During that period, any ten or more alumni may file with the council secretary written nominations for vacancies on the university's governing body. All nominations must be filedbeforeMay 1. No restriction is made concerning candidates. They need not be residents of the city of Buffalo, nor need they be graduates. However, non-graduates elected may not sit on the Alumni council, which was created in 1932 as a liaison agencyfor the University council and the alumni body. Terms are for four years, and representatives may succeed themselves. The trio whose terms expire this year are: Supreme Court Justice Samuel J. Harris, LL.B., '07, LL.M., '08, chairman of the Alumni council; James E. King, M.D., '96, member of its executive com- When the university's athletic organization was revised last Autumn (Bulletin, October, 1934), a new method was set up for the selection of alumni members of the Athletic council. The system, which goes into effect this Spring, provides for the election by mailed ballot as in the case of representatives on the University council. Nominations will follow the same procedure, names of candidates will be published with those of council nominees, ballots will serve for both elections. Thus the choice of Athletic council delegates is no longer in the hands of the trustees of the GeneralAlumni association, but is given to all Buffalo's diploma holders. Because the new system did not provide alumni representatives on the athletic body for the current fiscal year, two one-year appointments were made by the General Alumni association, were approved by higher authority. Serving until the new system gets under way were Gordon A. Hague, A.C., '21, 8.5., '25, Ed.M., '33, and Alumni Secretary William G. Cook, 8.5., '27.

Moran, arts, '38. To him went the distinction of carrying the first armload of reading matter into the new library, which was completed recently at a cost of $500,000. The load consisted of one ponderous volume of etchings bearing the title, The Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Slope. Student Librarian Moran, brother of Thomas F. Moran, 8.A., '30, M.A., '33, began a long procession which represented the job of moving more than 60,000books, nearly 40,000 pamphlets and periodicals, hundreds of thousands of filing cards, from their old home in Edmund Hayes hall. For three days student assistants and campus workmen labored. When classes started Monday morning, April 1, the library was open for business. Built by University Council Member Thomas B. Lockwood and the late Mrs. Marian Birge Lockwood,the structure will be a storehouse of literary treasures. For 40 years Mr, Lockwood,who attended the Law school in 1895-96,has been acquiring one of the finest private libraries in the United States. It includes rarities from many foreign countries, a remarkable group of Americana,Shakespeare quartos which are the envy of many bibliophiles. A substantial part of this collection now has its permanent home in the Lockwood Memorial library. The remainder will come to the university under the terms of the owner's will. To invite inspection of these treasures, special display rooms were constructed, where book-lovers may study exhibits, listen to periodic lectures on the world's "literature. More informal is the smokingroom, where an idler may drop into an easy chair, light his pipe, spend an hour over one of a special open-shelf collection of 2000 books,hundreds of magazines. The building abounds in work-rooms, study-rooms, seminar-rooms, while the University Will Be Treasure House of Literary Gems instructor in English in 1927, he had earned his B.A. degree from Haverford college, Pa., his M.A. from Columbia,his degree of bachelor of letters from Oxford. Oxonian Abbott served three years in the English department,taught for a time at the University of Colorado,returned to Buffalo last autumn (Bulletin, November, 1934). In addition to his library duties, he rejoins the English department as full " professor. FIRST LOAD StudentAssistant Robert G. Moran, arts, '38 moves the mountains into place stack-rooms, which burrow two stories below the ground level, are adequate for years of expansion. For the library staff there is even a completely appointed kitchen. Most impressive of all is the main reading-room. Its rise of two stories gives it a cathedral-like effect, enhanced by the tall, slim windows affording an unobstructed view of the east campus. Light from powerful batteries of electric lamps filters through the ground glass ceiling, casts a daylightglow to every corner. A generous balconyskirting three sides gives access to second-floorrooms. Dominating all is a huge fireplace, hand carved in rich, dark wood. Intricate scrolls and figures focus on the university seal. No stranger to the University of Buffalo is the new director of university libraries, Charles D. Abbott. When he became Miss Ruth Bartholomew,L.S., '22, who has been campus librarian since 1922,has been appointed associate librarian, will retain charge of the campus libraries. Director Abbott will be responsible for all the university's book collections,including those in the professional schools and in Townsend hall. When the estate of the late John J. Albright was broken up, many priceless items were sought by those who saw beauty and recognized it. Two ornate chandeliers now hang in Lockwood library. So heavy are they that the ceiling of the reading room had to be reinforced beforetheir installation. Likewise from the Albright mansion came a handsome stone balustrade which was transported to the campus last summer, now skirts the wide expanse of lawn fronting the library. Built of limestone and granite, the 250-foot wall is mounted on a stone terrace. When campus landscaping is completed, a one-way road will extend inward from Main street, sweep past the balustrade,out again to Main street. Plans also call for a new 19-foot road between Bailey avenue and Norton hall, general grading around the campus. Meanwhile nearing completion is the new workshop and garage on Winspear avenue in front of the heating plant.To it will move within a few days Buildings Superintendent Conrad J. Leupold and his staff of janitors, caretakers,watchmen. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO WASHINGTON ENTERS BRANCH PICTURE of the university attend "representatives a dinner given by alumni living in Wash- Austin M.

That Buffalo is takingon stiff opposition is causefor little worry to Van Bibber, who reports that this season's varsity team wilt include such able veterans as Rappole, and Aversano in the backfield.

Applauded and Imitated in Dental Education Field Mail addressed to the following alumni has been returned for lack of correct addresses. Classmatesor other acquaintances who know of their whereabouts are requested to send the proper information to the Alumni office. This is the fifth of a series of articles on the academic and professional standing of the various divisions of the University of Buffalo. Herefollows a five-minute glance at the Schoolof Dentistry, which was established 43 years ago. " B.A. Barnes, Janet S. # Few years ago, the Schoolof Dentistry made a startling change in its teaching system. That change embodied three principal features: 1) the same pre-professionaltraining thenceforth was to be required of dental students as of medical students; 2) the first two years of dental education were to be carried on in the Medical school and in hospitals, under Medical school faculty men; 3) the strictly technical specialization in dentistry was to be concentrated in the last two years of the course. The plan went into effect as an experiment with the sanction of the New York State Board of Regents. That body and the rest of the academic world watched the experiment with interest. Presently the experiment was pronounced a success, was declared permanent at the university. Imitation, that sincerest form of flattery, followedclosely on the heels of the Buffalo experiment. Before long, several other institutions had adopted the plan. Sincethe Buffalo plan was adopted, the school has made another striking change. Abandoning the traditional four-year course, with 32-week years and summers off, the division cut out summer vacations, increased the number of weeks' study in each year, reduced the number of calendar years to three. (Including pre-dental instruction the reduction was from six , to five). This action too, has won acclaim, not merely for the economic advantage of saving the student a year's living expenses and starting him on his career that much earlier, but mainly for the educational advantage of eliminating the periodic interruptions to the continuity of technical and clinical courses. These are not the only achievements by which alumni may judge their Schoolof Dentistry. It has for many years been listed as a ClassA institution by the state of New York, bythe Carnegie foundation, by the Dental Education Council of America. Basis of the rating: Acceptibility of its curriculum as an instrument in the teaching of dentistry, recognition of the superior teaching ability of its faculty. Until a short time ago, Buffalo held the only such rating in the state. (Dr.). '24 Blasdell, Bruce J..

Another measuring stick is the success of graduates in the state board examinations. In 1932 six failed out of 27 who tried. In 1933 one failed out of 37 who tried. Figures on the 1934class are not yet available,but indications are that the 1933 figure will not be bettered. Achievements of graduates after practice begins form the final basis of judgment.

In May, 1935 NewYorkAlumniMeet " More than 300 alumni in the New York as metropolitan area have been invited to attend a meeting of the Buffalo Club of observations on books and their writers, collectors, readers. Typical paragraph: "I think there is too darn much dignity around universities. I am suspicious of dignity in places of learning. A library is not justa place for serious work; a library is also a place to have some fun. Of course it is not a place to make noise or whoopee, but it is a place for the delicate sort offun." When the academic procession had moved out of the university's 15th building, guests convened for luncheon in Norton hall, to hear W. N. C.

Council Vote Starts Graduates will voice their preference regarding alumni representation on the University council in the annual mailed-ballot " election now under way. For the first time in the history of the university, the graduate body also will have power to select its own representatives on the Athletic council. The new method of selection was made possible by the revision of the athletic governmental system last year (Bulletin, October, 1934), which abolished the old plan ofelection by the GAA board of trustees. Voters should vote for only three candidates from three different divisions. If two candidates from the same division should be among the high three, the second high man will be dropped in favor of the next highest from some other division, thus insuring a spread of representation. The three successful candidates will hold office for four years, will automatically be seated on the Alumni council, excepting any who arenon-alumni of Buffalo. This year's candidates are: Philip C. Barth, LL.B., '27; James A. Donovan, Ph.G., '11; Philip Becker Goetz (incumbent); Harry I. Good, B.S. in Bus. Ad., '27, M.A., '31; Supreme Court Justice Samuel and Clarence S.

College of Arts and Sciences Heads List in National Survey of the Med- year's annual meeting association well "icalLastAlumn: officers, year's was not at- board of sensing the merit in a change of schedule, tended. This This is the sixth of a series of articles on the academic and professional standing of the various divisions of the University of Buffalo. Herefollows a five-minute glance at the College of Arts and Sciences. When Julian Park became the first dean of Buffalo's College of Arts and Sciences in 1913, that division of the university existed in name only. The venture was brand new, the objective far from concrete. As policies were shaped, courses were added, and in 1920 the first class was graduated. Next year the college received a coveted rating which puts any liberal arts college on an academic par with any other in the United States: Approval by the Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges of the Middle States. In 1925 the college was recognized by the Association of American Universities, and in 1929 it was put on the approved list of the American Association of University Women. Recognition by these various agencies is of tremendous importance. Teachers must be of high caliber, curricula must pass muster, physical equipment must be adequate. Buffalo readily qualified for approval. Result: Its liberal arts undergraduates may transfer to any other American liberal arts college without the annoyance of special examinations, burdensome proof of aptitude and preparation. Its graduates are admitted without quibble into any graduate school in the United States. An extraordinary number of them have gone on for advanced work, doubtless due to the stimulus of Buffalo's tutorial system of instruction. No institution in New York state can hold up its academic head if its degrees are not registered by the State Education department, for registration means recognition, based on rigid standards of approval. Buffalo's degrees are so registered. Recently the National Society for the Study of Education published the results of anexhaustive surveyemphasizing the improvements in educational methods of American arts colleges in recent years. Title of the report: "Changes and Experiments in Liberal Arts Education." The changes were specified under 57 separate items, and the colleges which had adopted each improvement were listed under that item. In the number of times mentioned for notable improvements the University of Buffalo was at the top ofthe list. In the number of times its methods were called outstanding, it tied for first place with theUniversity ofChicago. Medics, Alumnae Elect eschewed the traditional commencement period date, avoided conflict with national and local meetings by holding the event in April. Result: An attendance of over 500. " COLLEGE'S DEAN PARK His Division's Precocity Won Approval from Three National Associations Some ofthe changes and experiments for which Buffalo received a rating of "outstanding:" Advice before registration, tests given to freshmen, encouragement of scholarship, initiative and creative work; reeducation, honors courses, tutorial work, improvements in curricula, articulation of secondary school, junior college and senior college; selection, improvement, promotion and salaries of faculty. Among the other notable improvements listed were: Classification and placement, freshmenweek, counseling, vocational guidance, examination to test reading knowledge of a foreign language, comprehensive examinations in honors work and in major field, improvement in examinations, improvements in instruction, survey and orientation courses, research provisions, special study of aims and objectives. As with any other division ofthe university, one may judge the college by the records of its products after graduation. Those who immediately embark on their careers experience little difficulty in competing with men and women from other institutions, while those who have gone into graduate schools are, in Dean Park's own words, "achieving success which is out of all proportion to the age and size of the college." Next month: The School of Business Administration. Strong probability exists that future annual meetings of the association will be held in the Spring. This will not in any way interfere with the time-honored class reunions, which will be held this June as usual. Seven outstanding men in the medical field read papers in the clinics which featured the meeting. Biggest newspaper headlines went to Dr. John A Kolmer, professor of pathology and bacteriology at the University of Pennsylvania, whose recent development of a vaccine for immunity against infantile paralysis has won him world-wide fame. Another prominent guest was Michael (Big Mike) Fiaschetti, onetime chief of the New York police Italian squad, terror of racketeers and blackhanders. All officers of the association were reelected. Thelist: President, James E. King, '96; first vice president, Harry R. Trick, '01; second vice president, Herbert H. Bauckus, '14; third vice president, Matthew L. Carden,'19; fourth vice president, Frederick E. Strozzi, '10; fifth vice president, Francis J. Butlak, '17; secretary, Louis A.

Reviewed were such successful enterprises as the campaign for books to rest on Norton hall's shelves, the annual mid-winter theater party for the benefit of the alumnae scholarship fund. Speaker of the evening was Dr. Daniel Bell Leary, head of the psychology department. His subject: "Book Worms and Athletes." Announced was the election of the following officers for 1935-36: President, Winifred Rowley Hill, 8.A., '24 (reelected); vice president, Mac Tabor Painton, 8.A., '28; secretary, Ethel Rose Brady, 8.A., '29; treasurer, Sophie R.

Mr. Lester S. Kellogg Crosby Hall War "Strike" Splits Alumni News Brevities thought at Buffalo is anything Activities of Buffalo alumni during the past month made the following news: Recipient of knighthood in the French Legion of Honor was Frank A. McKowne, LL.B., '10, New York city, president of the Hotels Statler Co., Inc., for service to France during the World war. Retained by the Tennessee Valley authority to help perfect the appeal of the Grubb decision against government engagement in the power business was John Lord O'Brian, LL.B., '98, of Buffalo. Announced by the New York Bar association was the appointment of Alumnus O'Brian to the committee on co-operation with the American Law institute, and of Philip Halpern, LL.B., '23, of Buffalo, to the committee on civil practice act. Celebrated by co-workers and city officials was the completion of 25 years of service as Buffalo's health commissioner by Francis E. Fronczak, M.D., '97.

The university's oft-reiter"butCampus permits policy ated of academic freedom discussion of but honest sympathy for any belief, be it social, political, economic, religious. Thus, when students last month staged a "strike" against war, there was no hysterical administration rush to head it off, no attempt to hush it in the public press. Chancellor Samuel P. Capen, however, surprised that participants persisted in calling the affair a strike, pointed out not only frank that the term was incorrect, since permission had been granted to hold the Where Are They Now?

Of a total daytime registration of approximately 1600students, about 350 took part, according to a Buffalo Evening News estimate. The meeting was not devoid of heckling, especially when the Rev. Herman J. Hahn, BuffaloSorialist pastor, advocated armed insurrection against capitalism as a means to worldpeace. As the meeting closed, "strike" leaders offered several resolutions to the assembly, including protests against military and naval appropriations, fleet maneuvers in the Pacific, "insidious attempts to militarize the CCC," activities of the Hearst press. There was more booing as the chairman offered a pledge not to support the United States government in any war. Later the Bee, which weekly prints student news and opinion, assailed the "deception" allegedly used in arranging the demonstration. "What happened during the local part of the national anti-war movement," it said, "makes one wonder if the whole programisn't just a blind for the furtherance of Communism."

This year's session will start July 1, end August 10, according to announcement of Dr. Leslie O. Cummings, director of the division and dean of the School of Education. Various courses of instruction will be offered, not only to regular students wishing to shorten time of residence or make up deficiencies, but also to persons in various walks of life who desire instruction in the arts and letters. In addition to regular members of the university faculty, the Summer session staff will include visiting instructors in art, music, education, office practice. Courses will run from accounting to zoology, will include languages, mathematics, philosophy. All classes will be held on campus, with the exception of those in library science, which will meet at Grosvenor library. A social and recreational program will be included in the schedule, with excursions to museums, industrial plants, beauty spots in the area. Affiliated with the university is the Allegany School of Natural History which is an eight weeks' summer session conducted by the New York State museum and the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences. The university grants full credit for work completed in that school. Students are admitted to the Summer session without examination, may enroll in any course for which the instructor thinks them fitted. Courses are accepted toward both graduate and undergraduate degrees. Harris, King, Goetz Returned; Athletic Group Gets Hague, Knapp Full details on courses, fees and credits can be had by addressing either the University Registrar, Edmund Hayes hall, or the Alumni office, Nortonhall. NEXT BULLETIN IN FALL This is the last issue of the Bulletin until next October. Under its permit from the United States Post Office department, no issues will be published during the months of July, August, September. Next Bulletin will be sent to Buffalo's 8200 graduates, many friends, concurrently with the opening of the 1935-36 academic year. " # Buffalo's alumni evidently approve of their present representatives on the University council. In last month's election, of the nine candidates who had been nominated for four-year posts, the majority of the voters decided to return the three whose terms expire this year. They are: Supreme Court Justice Samuel J. Harris, LL.B., '07, LL.M., '08, chairman of the Alumni council; James E. King, M.D., '96, president of the Medical Alumni association; Philip Becker Goetz, onetime professor of English, head of the Classics department, longtime (15 years) secretary of the University council. Of the three re-elected, Judge Harrisand Dr. King will continue automatically as members of the Alumni council, which is restricted to Buffalo alumni. For the first time in its history, alumni members of the Athletic council were chosen this year by mailed ballot, thus giving to the entire graduate body the right to express its preference. " Alumni representatives will serve oneyear terms, deciding athletic matters with 15 other student, faculty, administration members. Winners of the 1935 election: Gordon A. Hague, A.C., '21, 8.5., '25, Ed.M., '33, Lester S. Knapp, M.D., '27. One new figure will be present at future sessions of the University council, as a result of an election held at its annual meeting early in June. Justice Charles B. Sears, presiding justice of the Appellate division of the New York State Supreme court succeeds Robert W. Pomeroy, prominent Buffalonian who died recently. At the same meeting, the council reelected A. Glenni Bartholomew, LL.B., '03, chairman, and chose James McCormick Mitchell, LL.B., '97, vice chairman, a position'which had not been filled since Mr. Bartholomew's elevation to the chairmanship three years ago. Re-elected to four-year terms on the council were Mrs. Edward H. Butler, William H. Crosby, co-donor of Crosby hall; former Supreme Court Justice Daniel J. Kenefick, Seymour H. Knox, Rudolph B. Flershem. The following council members were elected to standing committees for twoyear terms: General administration. Gen. Louis L. Babcock, Mr. Mitchell, Marshall Clinton, M.D., '95; finance, Judge Kenefick, Emanuel Boasberg, Edward J. Barcalo; buildings and grounds, Mrs. Stephen M. Clement, Frank B. Baird, George G. Davidson Jr., LL.B., '97, Nelson G. Russell, M.D., '95. A balanced budget of $1,094,733.56 for the year 1935-36 was adopted. " SOCIAL WORK SCHOOL CREATED Dr. Niles Carpenter Made Head of University's Tenth Division # Buffalo's curriculum of social science achieved full division status this month with the creation by the University council of the new School of Social Work. The action came four years after the establishment of the curriculum, one year after it received national recognition by election to membership in the American Association of Schools of Social Work. Thus the University of Buffalo closed its 89th year with ten divisions. The others: Medicine, Pharmacy, Law, Dentistry, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Education, Evening session. Summer session. Director of the new school is bespectacled, shock-haired Dr. Niles Carpenter, for 11 years professor of sociology, expert of international repute, author of many articles and monographs and a book, "Sociology of City Life," now used as a text in more than 40 colleges and universities. A complete training program for social workers will be offered, with the certificate in social work awarded on successful completion. Future establishment of a degree in social work is a strong possibility. The university's department of social work was founded by Dr. Carpenter in 1924. Two years later insistent demand resulted in the establishment of a course in social case work in the Evening session. Other courses were added until the full curriculum was organized in 1931. Registration in only evening courses in social work has risen from 49 in 1924 to 644 in 1934, and unduplicated enrollments in professional social work, excluding all related subjects, have increased from 90 in 1932 to 166in 1935. The program sets up three years of undergraduate work as a prerequisite, to be followed by one year of pre-clinical study, ending with a clinical year of professional training. �ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN J HOW DOES OUR UNIVERSITY RATE? School of Business Administration Attracts Nation-wide Attention This is the seventh in a series ofarticles on the academic and professional standing of the various divisions of the University of Buffalo. Herefollows a five-minute glance at the School of Business Administration. This school does not, as do the "business colleges," train bookkeepers, file clerks or stenographers. It is engaged in training men and women who will eventually fill executive positions in the business world. " Few academic institutions achieve Edwin F. Gay, professor of economic history at Harvard university, former president of the Sew York Erenimi Post, first dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration, director of the National Bureau of Economic Research. A special lejcturerwill he Dr. W. Randolph Burgess, deputy governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, scholar of wide repute. Others are Donald R. Belcher, assistant chief statistician, American Telephone & Telegraph company, New York; Marc A. Rose, former managing editor of the Buff-da Evening Newt, roweditor of Business Week: Lester N. Selig, president of the General American Transportation corporation, and the following Buffalonians: Walter J. Brunmark. president of J. N. Adam Trico & Co.; John R. Oshei. president of the Products corporation; Edward J. Barcalo, president of the Barcalo Manufacturing company; Lewis G. Harriman, president of the MAT Trust company; Col. William Kelly, president of the Buffalo, Niagara & Eastern Power corporation; George F. Rand, president of the Marine Trust company. as nearly instantaneous recognition as did Buffalo's School of Business Administration. Preceded by a short period of busi- ness,instruction in the Evening session, a full-time, day division of business administration was established in 1927. Less than three years later, the school received official national recognition by admittance to membership in the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business, a national accrediting body whose valued benediction is based on caliber of aims, methods, faculty, curricula. That is one gauge by which alumni may judgethis division. As with all other divisions of the university, business school degrees are registered and recognized by the New York State Education department. Here again, rigid standards of approval prevail. That is another gauge. Ph. D.'s Preponderate Consider, too, the timber which makes up the instructional staff. Of the 14 regular members of the staff (there are additional part-time members) all but three hold the doctor of philosophy degree, granted by one or the other of the following institutions: Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania, Cornell, Columbia, Northwestern and the University of Vienna. They prove their right to membership in the society of scholars repeatedly, not by pompous pronouncements which appear on newspaper front pages, but by the publication of books and articles in professional periodicals, which are welcomed and praised by those whoknow. The president of an eastern college recently declared Buffalo's School of Business Administration ranks third in the United States—that only two others in the country were entitled to higher rank. The dean of one of the leading business schools of America recently declared that Buffalo's was a better business school than could be found in any state university. These are outside, objective ratings, by which the alumnus can be guided in forming his ownestimate. A full explanation ofthe school's new projis contained in a recent pamphlet, "A New Plan for Business Training," which may be secured by addressing the Secretary, School of Business Administration. In the next issue of the Bulletin will appear an appraisal of the School of Education. ect BUSINESS AD'S EPSTEIN His division's new plan was endorsed by leading business executives Where Are They Now? If, unconvinced, one seeks a spectacular means of measurement, he has but to turn to something which did make newspaper headlines within the past few weeks. Hardly had Dr. Ralph C. Epstein moved into the dean's office (Bulletin, February), when he announced the inauguration of a new plan of instruction, major phase of which will be the appearance on campus of national and local business and financial leaders as associate faculty members and special lecturers. Aids Job-getting By contact with these men, students will gain a type of experience heretofore lacking in college training for business. The plan will also bring the undergraduate directly into the plant and office for a part of his study.Finally, it will point the way to that first milestone after graduation—a job. The list of associate faculty members, who are impressed enough by Buffalo's School of Business Administration to give it theirtime and services, includes: Henry 8- Dennison, president of the Dennison Manufacturingcompany, Farmingham, Mass., onetime war industries planner, former National Labor board member, chairman of the NRA advisory board. Willard L. Thorp, nationally known economist and writer, member of the Federal Alcohol Control administration,recently director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, chairman of the NRA advisory council. George O. May. head of Price. Waterhouse & Co., New York auditing firm for the D. S. Steel corporation. Arch W. Shaw, presidentof Chicago's Shaw & Co., Inc., longtime editor of Syxtent and Factory, chairman of the Committee on Recent Economic Changes, director and former' vice president of the National Bureau of Economic Research.

" " " " -L Lf Foster Hall Academic Year Ended The Faculty on Review Four yearsago several score youngsters fresh from high school matriculated at the University of Buffalo.

School of Education Products May Compete with Any Progressive Spirit Reflected Undergraduate instruction in the School of Education is being conducted now on a more or less experimental basis, reflecting the progressive spirit which is stirring the whole field. A single example of the experiment, which has deeply interested public authorities, is the "senior professional unit," conducted by the education staff, functioning as the department of education of the College of Arts and Sciences. Here instruction is correlated with work the students themselves are doing as student teachers in the public schools. This is quite different from merely "taking courses" in education, which may or may not be applied specifically during actual practice. Result: Adjustment of the individual so he will qualify physically, socially and scholastically, and elimination of those unable to qualify. On the graduate level, the state's approval is given to training of future elementary and secondary school principals and other executives. In addition to these two approved fields of instruction, the state also approves Buffalo's supplementary training of students in specialized fields, such as physical and industrial education. While it takes students as well as teachers to make up a college or university, the caliber of its teaching staff determines its right to a high academic standing. Buffalo's School of Education has faculty members engaged in important Activities of Buffalo alumni during the Summer made the following news: MILES M. SMITH. DD.S., '98, resigned from office as mayor of Binghamton, to become district labor director for the WPA. EDMOND J FARRIS, 8.A., '29, president of the University of Buffalo Alumni Club of Washington, D. C, and instructor in Georgetown university, returned to Buffalo to matriculate in the School of Medicine. HEXRY SPILLER, D.D.S., '35, who won senior honors last year, received a fellowship for graduate study under the Forsyth foundation in Boston. Only one student is chosen from each Grade A dental school each year. ROBERT S. HOOLE, B.S. (Educ), '33, was appointed principal of Buffalo's McKinley Vocational high school. GUSTAVE A. NUERMBERGER, 8.A., '30, Toledo, received a Ph.D. degree from Duke university. ROBERT E. RICH, 8.5., in Bus. Ad., '35, onetime football captain, was appointed head coach at Buffalo's Riverside high school. This is the eighth in a series of articles on the academic and professional standing of the 7'arious divisions of the University of Buffalo. Here follows a fiveminute glance at the School of Education. New York state's leadership in matters of public education has long been nationally recognized. Its standards are high, and no institution for the preparation of teachers and school administrators can long survive without the State Education department's stamp of approval. Thus the products of any such recognized institution can compete on equal professional terms with those of any other state in the Union. Buffalo's School of Education has state approval for both undergraduate and graduate work. This makes all who receive degrees in education at Buffalo eligible for state certification in the fields for which they are recommended. Alumni NewsBrevities JOHN L. ECKEL, M.D., '07, Buffalo, was in London, Eng., to read a paper on "Medullo- EDUCATION'S DEAN CUMMINGS Officials zvatch his school's experiment research, contributing articles to leading educational publications, and otherwise playing a considerable part in the activities of their profession. The fact that other institutions frequently invite staff members to join their faculties is a tribute to Buffalo's ability to pick and train good material, and as fast as vacancies occur, other promising men and women, attracted by the opportunities for constructive experiment, are at the doors asking to be taken on as replacements. Alumni Record Final evidence of the division's standing is the record of its alumni. Many of them were "inherited" from the College of Arts and Sciences when the new school was created in 1931, with Dr. L. O. Cummings as dean. Since that time, however, it has been on its own. From among the graduates of the school could be compiled a distinguished list of teachers and administrators. Already many of its degree holders have become elementary and secondary school principals, superintendents, supervisors and department heads. Many have won scholarships and fellowships at other institutions of national repute. To the re- mainder the school has handed the tools to make a living while awaiting those opportunities which will send them to higher callings in their chosen profession. blastoma of the Cerebellum before the International Neurological Congress convention.

SQUIRE As the university opened its 90th year, administrative officials were faced with the problem of finding a successor to Daniel H. Squire, D.D.S., '93, long time (23 years) dean of the School of Dentistry, who died last July at the age of 66. Dr. Squire's demise followed an illness of several months' duration. He had spent a part of last Winter in Florida in an attempt to recover his health. Despite the length of his illness, his death came as a great shock to the thousands who knew him. It was under his guidance that the Dental school had moved ahead to a position of prominence in the national field (Bulletin, April, 1935). Through his efforts, the Buffalo plan had been changed so as to effect a rapprochement between dental and medical education, thus giving the dental student basic training in the sister science. The innovation caused a stir among the country's educators. Another of his projects was the change to the quarter plan, which condenses four years' study into three and eliminates the interruptions caused by the traditional Summer vacation. A member of the school's first graduat- ing class, Dr. Squire was first president of the Dental Alumni association and had been one of its strongest supporters all his life. In the early days of his career he served as professor of anatomy and professor of operative dentistry. He became dean in 1912. He maintained a private practice until 1929, when he decided to devote his whole time to teaching. He had served as president of the American Association of Dental Teachers, and of the American Association of Dental Schools. In March, 1934, he was appointed chairman of a committee to prepare a dental curriculum which would serve as a standard for all dental schools recognized by the New York State Education department. He was actively engaged in this work until his last illness set in. Russell W. Groh, D.D.S., '18, at present is administering affairs of the division as acting chairman of the faculty. Library Group Formed Formation of a new organization to be known as the Friends of the Lockwood Memorial Library will be begun this month, according to announcement of Librarian Charles D. Abbott. Invitations to join this coterie of book lovers have gone out to approximately 8,500 Buffalo townfolk and alumni residing in the university area. A reception will be held on October 14 from 3 to 6 P. M., in the library's exhibition rooms, to open an exhibit of first editions, letters and manuscripts of Mark Twain, Mr. Abbott said. FOOTBALL SEASON TICKETS Are Good on Homecoming Day Too Save money.

To the lips of thousands of college graduates every year come these words, sometimes of hope, sometimes of bewilderment, sometimes of despair. The problem of gainful employment is no respecter of persons, but frequently invades even the professional realm, notably during depression periods, when every city has its share of physicians, dentists and lawyers on relief. Yet it is not unusual that while college graduates are asking that question, opportunities are going begging for lack of the right person at the right time. Many colleges and universities have for years been offering placement service to their alumni. Among them has been the University of Buffalo, which, through its Bureau of Personnel Research, has been able, in a limited way, to render some assistance to Buffalo graduates during the past half-dozen years. Announced this month was the extension of that service into an Alumni Placement bureau, with Richard J. R. Morris, 8.A., '35, and Helen Fairbairn Southard, 8.A., '27, M.A., '29, as directors. The bureau's service will be two-fold. Alumni may place their names on file, and as openings develop, opportunities will be provided for interview. Employers, too, seeking qualified persons to fill certain vacancies, can come to the bureau, which will, from its files, be able to select those who seem to fit the requirements. Naturally the bureau cannot guarantee to find a job for every applicant. But during the past six months, several openings occurred which the bureau was unable to fill, because its files lacked the names of qualified alumni. The service is available to all alumni. This means that professional men seeking new opportunities, as well as gradu- Job-Seekers Together anxious to disprove by offering candidates whose proficiency in accounting, salesmanship, advertising, chemistry and the other arts and sciences already has been tried and proved. In a recent public statement, Dr. Edward S. Jones, director of the Bureau of Personnel Research reported a tremendous increase in the occupational demand for college graduates since the first of the year. In the University of Buffalo alone, virtually all of the arts and business administration graduates of 1935 have been placed, he declared. Most of them have found relatively good positions, with only a few in jobs of a temporary nature. CO-DIRECTOR MORRIS His bureau wishes to disprove a fallacy ates in business, education and arts, may receive assistance. the liberal The bureau also seeks the co-operation of alumni already employed who may hear of openings or may themselves be in a position to offer employment. Alumni branch clubs can help too, by appointing contact men in their own localities to act as clearing agents. On the next page of this month's Bulletin appear two blanks for use in building up the bureau's files. One is to be filled out by those seeking employment. All data will be treated in the strictest confidence. The second is to be filled out by employers or others who know of business or professional opportunities. Blanks should be mailed to the Alumni Placement bureau, Edmund Hayes hall. In appealing to employers, the bureau directors deprecate the frequently expressed opinion that college graduates are long on theory but short on experience. That universities are able to provide nothing but inexperienced men and women is a fallacy which the bureau is Placement Co-Director Morris enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences in 1922, later leaving to enter business. He operated an employment agency in Philadelphia, was manager of its Cleveland branch, was territorial manager of the General Motors Acceptance corporation and assistant credit manager of Buffalo's William Hengerer company. He reentered the university in 1933 and joined the personnel bureau last year. Mrs. Southard was graduated in the honors division. Since 1927 she has found time to get married, teach high school, study at Columbia university for a doctor's degree, publish some studies on personnel work, act as personnel consultant for the Erie County ERB and sit in as an advisor for the new School of Social Work. Recently published by Dr. Jones and Mrs. Southard was a pamphlet called, How Can I Get a Job? which may be had by all alumni. It contains sections on "Applying for the Position," "Letter Writing," "The Interviczv" and other phases of job finding. Requests should be accompanied by a 3-ceni stamp to cover postage. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Enrollment Shows Gain Total enrollment at the university showed a considerable gain over last year, according to figures just announced by Miss Emma E. Deters, registrar. Latest figure on daytime registration is 1620, as compared with 1628 at the same time in 1934. Addition of Evening session enrollments brings the number up to 3686, or an increase of 144 over last year's 3542. Biggest gain in daytime registration was recorded by the Pharmacy school, which showed 20 more students than last year. The comparative totals follow. Apdeduc- parent discrepancies are caused by tion of duplicate enrollments.

One way in which the society has attempted to be helpful is in giving undergraduates some contacts with MR. SPEAR members of the teaching profession, and some ideas fresh from the professional field. The contacts and ideas are offered at occasional meetings of the alumni, at which students are invited guests. Continuingthis practice, the association announces a meeting to be held Tuesday, Nov. 19, at 8 P. M., in Norton hall. The event will be in the nature of a welcome to new education students and new members of the education faculty. President Ray Wilbur Spear, Ed. M., '32, is himself a good contact, being principal of Buffalo's Riverside high school. Two other alumni will provide further contacts and more ideas in speeches addressed to the seniors. They are Dr. Frederick J. Moffitt, Ed. M., '33, superintendent of schools of Hamburg, and Harry I. Good, B. S. in Bus. Ad., '27, Ed. M., '31, supervisor of secondary commercial education in the Buffalo school system and president of the General Alumni association. Cards and dancing will follow the program. This year's officers, in addition to Mr. Spear are Helen R. Cornell, Ed. M., '34, vice president, and Viola E. Deboben, B. S. in Ed., '33, secretary-treasurer.

Hall, University of Buffalo SALARY �3 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN How Does Our University Rate? New York State Sends Own Case Workers to Buffalo This is the ninth in a scries of articles on the academic and professional standing of the various divisions of the University of Buffalo. Here follozvs a five-minute glance at the new School of Social Work, which was established last Spring, and is now entering its first academic year of existence. When, in 1924, the university decided establish a department of sociology in the College of Arts and Sciences, it brought Dr. Niles Carpenter on from Harvard to do the job. Within two years there was such pressure from social workers of Buffalo for extension training that courses in case work were established in the Evening session. The expansion process continued until in 1931 a formal two-year curriculum was set up in the college. Last Spring, by act of the University council, the curriculum achieved the status of a school (Bulletin, June, 1935). Last month the school's faculty was formally designated and Dr. Carpenter entered upon his duties as director. Applied social science has been growing in importance by leaps and bounds. Private and public welfare agencies have increased their activities to such an extent that the demand for trained personnel has been almost phenomenal. The state of New York is requiring approved certificates and degrees in social work as a qualification in an increasing number of civil service positions. Buffalo's School of Social Work is so approved, awarding the certificate after five years of study, the degree of master of social work after six. It is the only accredited school of social work in New York state, outside New York city. The nearest accredited schools in other states are at Smith college, University of Pittsburgh, Western Reserve university and the University of Michigan. To be admitted to membership in the American Association of Schools of Social Work meant as much to Dr. Carpenter's division as does a Class A rating to a medical school. Formal application for admission as a probationary member was made in the Autumn of 1933. In May, 1934, after the minimum time elapse allowed by the association's constitution, the application was granted. Some applicants have had to wait much longer. Earliest date on which the school can be granted full membership falls in 1937. Friends Group Grows More than 150 persons have joined the Friends of the Lockwood Memorial Library in the first month of that organization's existence, according to announcement of Charles D. Abbott, executive director. The new society, which will be "associintimate way with the life and activities" of the library, offers seven rights and privileges to its members, Mr. to SOCIAL WORK'S CARPENTER His field is growing by leaps and bounds To be ready for that event, the school is keeping in close contact with the association, profiting by its advice as to the best ways of remaining abreast of developments in the rapidly growing profession of social work. That the state further recognizes the school as an outstanding training center was shown when it recently designated Buffalo as one of the three institutions where active social workers from the state staffs will be given intensive training. Under a TERA grant, case workers are taken off their assignments, paid full salaries, and sent to Buffalo for six months of class room study and practical field work in recognized social agencies. The other two institutions: Fordham university and the New York School of Social Work. The school's first faculty includes 14 full-time and part-time members who are experts on psychiatry, public health, public welfare administration, case work, child welfare, criminology and penology. In addition there is a staff of 20 consulting associates, drawn from state and county officialdom as well as from Western New York's leading private welfare and charity organizations. Copies of the catalog of the School of Social Work may be had upon applica- tion to the secretary in Edmund Hayes hall. The next issue of the Bulletin will dealwith the curriculum of library science. ated in an Abbott points out. Ten per cent of the society's funds will be set aside for the purchase of each season's most important new books. Members will have first use of those accessions as long as they remain in demand. They may borrow "regular" books for twoweek periods. Teas for members will be held on the opening days of special exhibits of rare books and manuscripts, and a lecture series of interest to bibliophiles will be conducted. Any member may secure reading lists on any subject, and the library will offer an information service on bibliographic matters. Catalogues of the principal exhibitions will be presented to all members, and if the membership becomes large enough, a quarterly periodical will be established. All alumni of the university are eligible to join at a cost of $2 a year—the lowest of the four types of membership fees. The others are: Associate membership, restricted to the teaching profession, $5; full membership, available to all not in the first two classifications,$10; life membership, for those who prefer one payment to an annual fee, $150.

The occasion was Alumni Homecoming day, which this year was sponsored exclusively by the student body. Clear weather brought scores of homecomers to the Buffalo-Wayne football game in the afternoon. Though Buffalo lost, 14-0, most of the visitors admitted it was a good game. Directly after the contest, an orchestra established itself in Norton hall, whither hosts and guests repaired for a matinee dance. While some took advantage of Sigma Kappa sorority's offer of student women as dance partners, others followed Student Guide Bobby Brown, Business school junior and football end, on a conducted tour of the campus. Still ethers dallied over Norton union's table tennis and shuffleboard courts or amused themselves at pool and billiards.

They believe that athletic sports are a vital and necessarypart of the education of young people. As a group the faculty of the university shares the same conviction. Some members of the faculty are naturally less interested in athletics than are others, but I do not know any who are hostile. By official action of the council, endorsed as far as I know by all members of the instructional staff, intercollegiate athletics are recognized as constituting a regular part of the program of student American alumni in general are notoriously ignorant of their respective college administrators' policies. This is as true of the official attitude toward athletics as it is toward other things. The following article, prepared by the chancellor,clarifies the attitude of the University of Buffalo council and administration on athletic matters. Dr. Capen, himself a sportsman of no mean ability, believes in athletics as a component of the complete college life. In his own college days he played baseball and football. He ran the mile and half-mile, and as he puts it, "got one or two college prizes." He zvasan ardent tennis player from the age of ten until he was 55, and used to pride himself as a distance swimmer. He has been a yachtsman all his life, and still returns annually to the Maine coast for a summer vacation aboard his ITyi-foot knockabout. By SAMUEL P. CAPEN The reports of presidents and chancellors represent a form of literature which has wide circulation, but few readers. Hence,although the official attitude of the University of Buffalo toward athletics and intramural sports has been stated a number of times in the reports of the chancellor during the past 12 years, it is possible that this attitude is not entirely understood by the university community. One paragraph in the Chancellor'sReport might almost be described as a hardy perennial. It is the paragraph in which I have attempted year after year to call attention to the need for an adequate plant for athletics and physical education. I think that I become more emphatic, and I hope more persuasive, every time I rewrite this paragraph. For several years I have tried to make it clear at any rate that the university needs a large increase in its facilities for sports DR. CAPEX He asks for an athletic plant more than it needs anything else that it does not now possess. I address my annual reports to the council of the university, but the council does not need to be converted to the point of view which I express regarding the importance of a gymnasium and further playing facilities. It is already as keenly conscious of the need as are those who use weekly the meagrefacilities that we have. Unfortunately, however, there is nothing that the council can do about it unless or until money is contributed to repair the deficiency. It cannot in the present state of the university's finances withdraw from the capital funds of the university a sum sufficient to pay for this development, nor can it run the risk of an operating deficit. It can only reinforce my appeal. And this various members of the council have done earnestly and frequently. The council, and what some persons are pleased to call the administration, are activities. Within the past two years members of the administration,of the council, and of several faculties have worked out what is believed to be a much more effective plan for the direction of sports, both intramural and intercollegiate, than any previously in operation. Under this plan Professor George Van Bibber has been brought to the university. The substantial success of the recent football season in the face of great obstacles is a tribute both to Professor Van Bibber's expert and inspiring leadership and to the improved plan of management. It is my personal hope that means may soon be forthcoming to round out the university's educational program in this, the one area in which it is woefully deficient. Adders tomeeting HoldtheDance Business At a recent of Administration Alumni association in Norton hall, it was voted to hold a dance for alumni members and friends some time late in January. The purpose of the dance will be two-fold. It will offer an opportunity for members to renew their friendships of undergraduate days, and will also be a means to raise some funds to be used in carrying on future activities of the group. �UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 2 73 Frosh come from AlumniFamilies Law School Claims Greatest Number of Relatives Seventy-three members of this year's entering class are closely related to Buffalo alumni, according to an analysis just completed by the Alumni office.

Y. Far from groping for a club objective, it has already accomplished one, set up a second. CHmax of a meeting held a fortnight ago in Schrafft's restaurant was the presentation to the Syracuse public school system of a two-foot-high silver cup, to be known as the Art Powell trophy, and to be awarded annually to the public high school basketball championship team. The idea was broached last year by Henry J. Rozan. D.D.S., '27, was carried out by a committee consisting of Dr. Rozan, Gerald A. Gleason,LL.B., '25, and Wilfred F. Kerwin, LL.B., '28. On hand as guest of honor at the recent meeting was Basketball Coach Art Powell himself. To him President Clayton A. Sayers, D.D.S., '04, handed the trophy. Visibly affected,CoachPowell in turn presented it to Paul Krimmel, director of physical education in the Syracuse public schools. By the time the meeting was over, members had started on Objective No. 2: Establishment of an alumni scholarship of the Rhodes type, to be awarded to a deserving Syracuse high school graduate for study at Buffalo. Appointed chairman of the effort was Lewis R. Goldner, Ph.G., '24. With Art Powell as guests from the campus were Pharmacy's Dean Willis G. Gregory, M.D.. '82, Ph.G.. '86, and Alumni Secretary William G. Cook, 8.5., '27. Grads Share Victory Many Buffalo graduates were among those chosen for public office in last month's memorable election.

Takes to the Air When Louis Thomas de Joncaire, a young Gasconaristocrat, came to New France in 1687 to assist in the development of Louis XIVs American fur trade, he little dreamed what an important part he would play in the events leading up to the French and Indian war. As a soldier of Canada, he accompanied Gov. de Denonville ona punitive expedition against the Iroquois, and within a few weeks after his appearance on the frontier, had been captured by a band of Senecas and dragged off to be burned at the stake. Thus ended the first episode of a new radio series which began Dec. 5 on Buffalo's Station WBEN, and will continue weekly until Feb. 6. Its title: Furs for the Queen. Of special interest to alumni is the fact that the series is sponsored by the General Alumni Association,the Alumni council and the university administration. A cast of professional radio actors is participating, under the direction of James E. Corbett, veteran mime. Though based on history and prepared under supervision of the history department, the script was written purely for the entertainment of Western New York listeners as a cultural gesture by the university, which believes that many will thus become interested in their own local history.

It has been stated repeatedly in this series that all degrees and certificates granted by the university are registered, therefore recognized, by New York state educational authorities. This fact has been cited as one evidence of the rating which the institution's various divisions have attained outside its walls. That registration has a special meaning in the case of the certificate in library science. It means that all who have won the certificate since it was approved by the Board of Regents, are, upon recommendation to the board, duly certified for either public or school library work. Without that certification, such employment is no longer open within the confinesof this state. Of special interest is the requirement for school librarianships. as recently set up by the state. It is that all future school librarians must acquire 18 points in educational studies, in addition to 36 in li- brary work. The existence of the School of Education at Buffalo makes it easy to satisfy this demand,and the library science course has been enlarged and enriched accordingly. As a matter of fact, many Western New York school librarians, not products of Buffalo, are now coming to the university to complete the required studies. On the instructional side,one can point to the experts in the field, who hold places on the faculty. From a background of long experience in various branches of the science,they can draw without limit for the instruction of their students. Those same students also get adequate tutorial instruction duringthose months of assignment to the actual handling of books in the city's libraries. Finally, there is the record of the alumni, of which the university is far from ashamed. Dr. Augustus H. Shearer, director of the curriculum, says: "Two tests of the course might be made. Oneis whether those libraries outside Buffalo which have had our alumni, come back for more. This has happened time and again. The other test is whether alumni who are apparently satisfactory for lower positions are capable of filling higher ones. Tt is" Tound that executive and administrative positions are being filled by a number of them." Of the 248 library science alumni, only eight are unemployedtoday. Ninety-eight hold public library posts in 17 institutions of New York state, Illinois, Pennsylvania, California, Ohio and Alabama. Twenty-eight are in 23 different school libraries, all in New York state but one, and 12 are in eight college libraries, in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Japan. Five are in "special" libraries industrial, newspaper and museum. Included among these are many chief librarians, assistants, and department heads. The numbers have been larger, but death, marriage, retirement and the entry into other professions have extracted — their toll. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

University day That date marks not only the coming of age of Buffalo's graduate group, but also the 90th birthday of the university itself. Elaborate plans are being laid for the party, according to President Harry I. Good, B.S. in Bus. Ad., '27, Ed.M., '31. An attempt will be made to exceed last year's attendance,when 360 persons from Buffalo and many points in Western New York convened to hear Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of California's Stanford university and former United States secretary of the interior. To head the general committee in charge of this year's celebration,the association has picked Charles Diebold Jr., LL.B., '97, tall, genial vice-chairman of the Alumni council and member of the — — University council. The program, still in process of completion, will be announced later. Probability is that two prominent alumni who have achieved success in the New York and Philadelphia business world, will be main speakers. Alumnus Diebold is a Buffalonian by birth, who received his preliminary education in his native city, save for a year spent in a Nebraska high school. He worked his way through the Law school as a clerk in the Buffalo Health department. Following his graduation in 1897, he began the practice of law in the office of E. E. Coatsworth. In l°ol the present partnership of Coatsworth& Diebold was formed. Many years ago he entered the banking field, and in 1925 became president of the Western Savings bank, which office he still holds. He has for a long time been active in civic affairs. His most recent civic services have been as chairman of the Buffalo Temporary Emergency Relief adminis- He will GENIAL ALUMNUS try to exceed last year's record tration and chairman of the Civil Works administration. He is a past president of the Erie County Bar association,past president of the Buffalo Athletic club, and a member of the Buffalo club. Buffalo Canoechih, the Cherry Hill Country club,the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce and various Masonic organizations. The general committee for the anniversary banquet includes Robert I.

As with last year's dinner, limited accommodations will make advance reservations necessary. Tables will be reserved for divisional alumni groups or private parties. 1936 Van Reveals Schedule Announced recently by Head Coach Bibber was Buffalo's football schedule for 1936.

Enrollment and Finance The tuition fees of all part time students are considerably less than those of full time students. Notwithstanding the fact, therefore, that the total enrollment of the university increased by 4*/3 per cent in the year under review, the income from student feeswas less than in the preceding year by $8,233. The income from student feesin 1933-34 was approximately $7,000 less than the fee income in the year 1932-33. In other words,the income of the university from this, its principal source of income,has continued to decline since 1932. The report of the comptrollerreveals that the income from invested funds was for the year under review $6,281.42 larger than for the year 1933-34. The gain in this category of income does not quite offset the loss experienced in income from student fees. Nevertheless,the university has come through the depression with unimpaired integrity. Its patronage is essentially stable. No educational service which it renders has been curtailed or diluted. Its financial condition is sound. These fortunate results are due in large measure to the devotion of the teaching, administrative, and other staffs out of whose all too meagersalaries the amounts necessaryto balance the budgets have been taken and who have continued to serve the university with undiminished loyalty and enthusiasm. Buildings The Lockwood Memorial Library, opened for use on April 1, 1935,is both imposing and beautiful, dominating by its position the group of new and remodeled structures which now occupy the university campus. Its interior is equally beautiful and it offers facilities which the university has not possessed hitherto. The building has been made the repository, and the university the owner, of Mr. Lockwood's remarkable collection of rare books which represents an almost unbroken chain of the masterpieces of five centuries. It consists of approximately 2,500volumes. Mr. Lockwood's gift includes a large variety of rare and interesting coins and medals. Only a handful of universities in the United States possess an equally ex- tensive or important collection of rarities. With the Lockwood collection as a nucleus, the university and its library should become a center of bibliographical activity which will be of aid to scholars everywhere. The grand total of volumes owned by the university libraries is now 111,009 books and 90,300pamphlets. With the completion of the Lockwood Memorial library the university has need of only one additional building on the campus: a gymnasium. I have stressed this need for a number of years. The need does not abate; rather it becomes more acute with the passage of time. No respectable development of physical education and athletics will be possible until this need is met, and the university's educational offerings will remain indefensibly one-sided. In a climate in which outdoor sports are all but impossible for many months of the year, provision must be made for indoor sports under attractive and sanitary conditions,or the educational obligation is not being fulfilled. It is to be hoped that some friend or friends of the university may soon be moved to make the erection of an adequate gymnasium possible. The Student Union The year 1934-35 was the first full year of operation of Norton hall. It has become, as was expected, the center of student life. In it are held convocations,lectures, debates,dances,plays, musicales, teas and a large number of meetings of student organizations. The director reports 405 events in the course of the year. In addition, parts of the basement have been converted into supplementary gymnasium facilities, offering opportunities for handball, wrestling and other indoor sports which require little space. The auditorium, by far the most comfortable and attractive meeting place which the university possesses, has been used not only for student assemblies and plays but also for a considerable number of public lectures sponsored by the university. Norton hall is of course the student club house. It is a beautiful and well equipped club house which provides a delightful place of recreation for its members. It is only natural that non-athletic student activities should have been stimulated by such facilities and by the tendency of student life to center in this building. Musical, dramatic and literary undertakings of the students have improved in quality and are participated in by a larger and more enthusiastic group of undergraduates. The University* Constituency The university has spent almost no moneyand very little time in interpreting itself to high school seniors and their parents. During the year under review a few hundred dollars were spent on leaflets and conferencesbetween members of the staff and students of neighboring high schools. The alumni secretary has helped alumni associations to understand the recent progress of the university and the quality of its present offerings. Indirectly through this source some students have decided that the University of Buffalo is the institution which would best further their educational purposes. The university holds an annual acquaintance day in the Spring when high school graduates of this area come to the campus and learn at first hand of the facilities of the institution and its programs of instruction. Further than this we have not gone in the direction of self-display. My colleagues and I are averse to going much further. We believe that there should be somewhat more publication and distribution of brief, easily read statements concerning the several divisions of the university. We hope that it may soon be possible to furnish the services of some member of the teaching staff for consultation with high school students or principals. We believe that a few hundred dollars more should be spent on enterprises of this character,and may be spent by the university without compromising its standards of institutional behavior. We recognize that this would be in no sense meeting the competition of other institutions in the field of self-advertisement. But we have no desire to meet the competition in that field. One of the large needs of the university, and one vividly revealed by the years of depression, is the need for more scholarship funds. The admitting officers have knowledge of many students of the highest ability who desire to attend the university and are unable to do so through lack of sufficient moneyto pay its charges. Central University Service* Bureau of Personnel Research In the year under review the bureau has been at work on an analysis of the factors of success in social service and believes it has identified the intellectual and emotional qualifications for effective �3 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN work in this field; it has made the first critical analysis of the Moss Medical Aptitude test with unexpected results; it has analyzed the records and backgrounds of a group of students in the college and the Schoolof Business Administration; it has co-operated with the Junior Chamber of Commercein the study of trends in occupations in the Buffalo area. Another functionof the bureau has been the conduct of a placement service for students and alumni. In the year under review a large percentage of those seeking employment through the bureau have been successfully cared for. In a class of 90 persons graduating from the College of Arts and Sciencesin June,1935,all but 17 were known to have found some kind of employment at the time of the writing of this report; 25 are studying in graduate or professional schools,and the rest have been placed in various types of employment largely through the efforts of the university's placement service. It is believed that the policy which it follows and the status it has achieved are valuable assets, not only to the university, but also to the great metropolitan community which forms the university's con- Bureau ofBusiness and SocialResearch The Bureau of Business and Social Research continued to operate during the year 1934-35 on the reduced budget initiated several yearsago. In spite of these limitations the bureau has been able to carry on its customary service and to undertake the collection of certain new masses of data concerning Buffalo business and social activities. This small expansion of its program has been made possible by the assistance of competent students receiving FERA aid. The publications of the bureau have continued to meet with approval. brarians. Within the year the State Education department has decided that school librarians are to be classified as teachers. It now sets up curriculum prescriptions for those intending to be school librarians which threaten the integrity of the university's experiment. These prescriptions are in the old familiar terms of so many hours in specified course in library science and education; an inordinate number of hours in both fields,according to the opinion of our instructors. It appears that by co-operation with the Schoolof Education the Library Sciencecourse of the university will be able to meet these prescriptions, perhaps with less difficulty than will be experienced by other university library schools. I believe that the responsible officers of universities should make frequent public protests against the state department's interferencewith the right of reputable institutions to determine by what method they shall prepare students for professional practice. Progresi of the Divisions College of Arts and Sciences During the last 20 years college education has become popularized in much the same way, although not to the same degree, as secondary education. If a still larger percentage of the youth of the country is going to attend college or even if the same percentage continues to frequent the colleges and universities the general run of colleges cannot adopt the conception of the purposes of collegi- — — education which controls the work and the standards of the College of Arts and Sciencesof the University of Buffalo. This institution is designed for students of more than averageabilitywho are willing and able to dedicate themselves to a difficult intellectual task. It provides an exceptionally large amount of individual instruction, and its instruction costs are high. Although it is still young it has already taken rank among the few institutions which are recognized as having made important contributions to the improvement of education in the liberal arts. ate stituency. In the year underreview the staff of the College of Arts and Scienceshas devoted itself primarily to the improvement of certain of the administrative and instructional devices which have evolved here. It has sought to secure a larger measure of correlation between the work of allied departments, especially for tutorial students. It has continued to address itself to the solution of the problem of student advising. It has endeavored still further to perfect the comprehensive examinations. There have been no radical changes in the system adopted some four yearsago. Library ScienceCourse A considerable percentage of the graduates of the university's Library Science course are now employed as school li- School of Medicine In my report for last year I informed the council of the interesting pioneer work done by the committee on examinations of the Medical school in devising a comprehensive examination to be given at the end of the Medical school course. The committee duringthe current year has revised and improved the examination,and has also prepared a comprehensive test for sophomores. A comparison of the results achieved by the students of two classes in the final comprehensive examinations with all other records of their ability and performance during the four years of their training indicates that the examination is the most reliable measure of competence which the school has yet employed. A general inspection of the medical schools of the country was undertaken this year by the council on medical education and hospitals of the American Medical association. In consequence of the inspection the council recommended to most schools of medicine in the United States and Canadathat entering classes be reduced. The University of Buffalo complied with this recommendation by reducing by 10 per cent the number to be admitted in the future to the freshman class of the Schoolof Medicine. School of Pharmacy The degree of graduate in pharmacy, now awarded at the end of the three-year course, is about to be discontinued. The State Education department has advised the university that beginning with the entering class of 1937 the course in pharmacy will be four years in length leading to the degree of bachelor of science in pharmacy. In preparation for this change the faculty of the school has been at work during the present year in outlining a four-year curriculum. A substantial portion of the new materials will be represented by literary and scientific courses offeredby the College of Arts and Sciences. School of Law Increase in enrollment once more brought the School of Law within sight of the limit of its physical facilities. The present Law school building is barely adequate for a small law school. If the school is to be allowed to expand the council must face the concurrent obligation of providing more extensive quarters. The curriculum of the school has been extended by the addition of an optional course in admiralty and by the lengthening of the courseon bankruptcy. School of Dentistry On July 6, 1935,Dean Daniel H. Squire died. The Schoolof Dentistry as it exists today is essentially his creation. He was one of the first to recognize the need for a broader and more intensive education for dentistry; and also to perceive the necessity for a more intimate relation between dentistry and medicine. Dr. Squire's contribution to his professionand to his university belong in the category of statesmanship. He wrought a great and permanent reform which has already visibly elevated the standards of the dental profession. He did it quietly, unassumingly, almost humbly. And he did it in the best way possible, through a demonstration. To the Dental school his loss is irreparable, but he has left it a priceless legacy. �UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 4 School of Business Administration The outstanding event of the year was the elaboration of a new plan for the School of Business Administration. The school is engaged in training men and women who will eventually fill executive positions in the business world. The new plan, while emphasizing the importance of sound theoretical and liberal training also aims to acquaint the student with business procedures. It has a threefold object: (1) to bring the four-year university program closer to actual practices and problems of the industrial world ; (2) to provide a strong probability of suitable employment on graduation; (3) to give students the stimulus of frequent contact with both local and national leaders in the business field. School of Education Each year a larger percentage of the work of the Schoolof Education is carried on on a graduate level. The school offers instruction leading to the degree of master of education and doctor of edu- cation. On the undergraduate level the school administers the senior professional unit in the College of Arts and Scienceswhich is required of all college students planning to teach in secondary schools,the co-operative program within the School of Fine Arts of the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy designed to train teachers of art, and work for graduates of normal schools or teachers in service leading to the degree of bachelor of science in education. The school is understaffed. Nearly every member of its faculty is carrying too heavy a load. The service which it renders to the teaching corps of the community is of incalculable value. School of Social Work On June 6, 1935,the council voted to change the title of the Curriculum of Social Work to the Schoolof Social Work. By this action another professional school was added to the existing divisions of the university. The university's social work program was given national status in the Spring of 1934 when the university was accepted as a provisional member of the American Association of Schools of Social Work. In the Spring of 1935 further recognition came in the form of a request by the TERA of the State of New York for acceptance of fellowship students selected from the staffs of the public emergency relief agencies of the Niagara frontier. The Evening Session The Evening Sessionhas continued to grow. During the academic year 1934-35 there were enrolled 2371 students as compared with 2215 in the preceding year. In view of the fact that an adult may enroll without full high school training, the record of the previous academic experience of students is interesting. For the first semester of 1934-35 a typical semester in the recent history of the session 26.4 per cent of the students were college graduates; 62.4 per cent were high graduates; school 9.1 per cent had had some high school education but were not graduates; .6 per cent had had no high school training; 1.5 per cent of the total enrollment furnished no information concerning previous academic history. — — SummerSession From an educational point of view the Summersession was unusually successful. The facilities provided for instruction in art were much better than heretofore and the achievements of the students in the art courses attracted the attention of competent judges in this area. The Summer session is gradually taking on a graduate character. Nearly half of the students during the current year were graduate students. It seems probable that as time goes on the student body of the Summer session will be predominantly made up of teachers and advanced students who are working for a higher degree. Graduate Study The university resisted the very strong local pressure for the establishment of work leading to the degree of doctor of philosophy until it was sure that departments had been developed which were equipped in point of personnel and material facilities to care adequately for doctor's candidates. Two years ago the committee on graduate study and degrees was convinced that the university might appropriately offer the Ph.D. degree in a few departments. In the year under review four such degrees were awarded, one in physiology and three in chemistry. A total of 15 persons were, during the year, pursuing work leading toward the degree of doctor of philosophy. Respectfully submitted, Samuel P.

To the Council Buffalo, New Gentlemen: University of Buffalo ' The annual report of the comptroller for the fiscal year which ended June 30,1935,is presented herewith. The balance sheet. Exhibit "A," shows endowment assets of $5,306,924.43; plant assets of $6,203,122.46; and operating assets On June 30,1935,the balance in the endowment fund account was $5,279,004.47, as shown in Exhibit "B" presented herewith On June 30, 1934, this balance was $5,415,483.54. The net decrease for the year, therefore, in the endowment fund account was $136,479.07. This decrease is accounted for by disbursements made during the year out of the endowment fund account to complete payment for the construction of Lockwood Memorial library, for the construction of the new Service building on the university campus and for other plant improvements. Of the total of $5,428,890.70 subscribed in the 1929 Endowment Fund campaign, there has been received to June 30, 1935 the sum of $2,930,723.18. The endowment fund account is made up of $1,917,124.51 of general purpose funds, and $3,361,879.96 of special purpose funds as shown in Exhibit "B." The value of the plant assets on June 30, 1934,was $5,902,-266.60. The value of the plant assets on June 30, 1935,was $6,185,728.08. The increase during the year covered by this report was $283,461.48. During the year under review Lockwood Memorial library was completed and equipped at a total cost of $455,659.93, and the Service building was constructed at a total cost of $45,915.83. The total operating income for the year was $929,138.88; the total operating disbursements were $902,611.98. The year, therefore, closed with a credit balance of $26,526.90, which is 2.8% of the total income for the year.

Bom in Ireland, he studied veterinary surgery, played champion polo, served with the "Tommies" in the Boer war, was wounded,captured and made his escape, was a surveyor for the Canadiangovernment, served in the World war with the Princess Pat regiment, was gassed and wounded at Ypres, wounded again at Fleur Bay, was a sergeant major gunner with the French at Verdun, and wounded once more at Dixmude. Like the hero of a typical war novel, he also married his nurse.

The event will be a gold jubilee, and will have a two-fold cause for celebration: (1) Completion of 50 years of existence of the Pharmacy school. (2) Completion of 50 years as a member of its faculty, by Dean Willis G. Gregory, M.D., '82, Ph.G., '86. To show their devotion to the university's grand old man, and America's dean of pharmacy deans, alumni are raising funds with which they will engage a prominent portrait artist to execute an oil painting of Dr. Gregory, which will be presented to the university at the jubilee banquet. Thereafter the portrait will hang in a suitable place in the university.

What does the future hold in the way of a closer alliance between the medical and pharmacal professions ? Probable answers to these two questions and several others will be offered by two of Buffalo's outstanding alumni, who will journey 400 miles apiece to address the General Alumni association's 21st anniversary dinner on University day. The coming-of-age party will be held in Buffalo Consistory ballroom at 7 P. M. February 22. Frank A. McKowne, LL.B., '10, president of the Hotels Statler Co.,Inc., will come from New York to speak on "Training for the Business Field." John M. Considine, Ph.G., '12, assistant general sales managerof the United Drug company will desert his headquarters in Boston,Mass.,tospeak on matters of interest to all who write or till prescriptions. to Speak General Chairman Charles Diebold Jr., LL.B., '97, will act as toastmaster. Only other speaker will be Alumni President Harry I. Good,B.S. in Bus. Ad., '27, Ed. M., '31, who will make brief introductory remarks. Alumni and students are collaborating on a musical program. Tickets for the banquet, priced at $1.75 a person, are now being distributed by committees representing all university divisions. To make certain that guests may sit with friends, acquaintances, colleagues and classmates,tables for eight and ten persons are being set up by the Reservations arrangements committee. should be made at the time tickets are purchased. Dress is optional. The Consistory is one of Buffalo's most beautiful structures. Its ballroom, commodious lounges and unique auditorium impress thousands of visitors every year. It is centrally located and its ample parking facilities offer an extra inducement to party-goers. DRUGMAN CONSIDINE He has ideas for doctors and druggists ~. Alumnus Considine was born in Watkins Glen, N. Y., in 1891. Following his preliminary education he enrolled in the University of Buffalo and was graduated from the Schoolof Pharmacy in 1912. He then entered the Miller-Strong Drug company's store in Niagara Falls, and subsequently became its manager. In 1919 he joined the United Drug companyas sales representative. Later he became head of its hospital department and until recently was general manager of the department of medicines. In his present capacity he is in constant touch with the wholesale and retail drug trade, since his company is closely allied with the national Rexall chain, which is represented in Buffalo. He was the main speaker at the Pharmacy Alumni association's annual banquet in 1934,and at that time made a profound impression on his hearers. Reservations Must Be Made in Advance Speaker McKowne has been a part of the Statler organization since 1913. Born in Brockport, N. Y., October 30, 1889,he was schooled at Batavia, N. Y., and Smith Falls, Ont. Following graduation from the Law school in 1910 and his admission to the bar, he served on the Buffalo corporation counsel's staff nearlv three years. In 1913 he became assistant to the late E. M. Statler, founderof the hotel chain. In 1917 he was elected assistant secretary of the company, and in 1919,secretary and treasurer. Upon Mr. Statler's death in 1928,Mr. McKowne became president. During the World war he served on the staff of Maj. Gen. E. F. Glenn,commander of the 83rd division, and followingoverseas service,was created a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor. Mr. McKowne is a director of the Hotels Statler Co.,Inc., the Marine Midland Trust Co., the Central Mercantile association of New York and the Broadway and 34th Street association,as well as of many other hotel associations. .

The exhibition will be open to the public daily except Saturdays and Sundays from 3 to 5 P. M. through February 22. Among the other important English Bibles included in the display are the Matthew's Bible of 1537 and the First Great Bible of 1539,as well as the First Bishop's Bible of 1568 and all issues of the King James Bible (1611). "This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to every lover of Bibles and of rare and beautiful books to see at one time all of the most important English Bibles as they were printed from 1535 to 1935,"according to Professor Charles D. Abbott, director of university libraries. "It constitutes not only a stimulating survey of four centuries of fine printing, showing as it does the most superior craftsmanship of each period, but also a pictorial history of the book that has been most influential in shaping the lives of the English-speaking nations for the last 400 years. "Since last year marked the 400th anniversary of the appearance of the first complete English Bible, it would seem not inappropriate to begin a new century of Bible production by surveying what four centuries of the past have been able to accomplish. This exhibition is designed to show the most historically and esthetically important Bibles, all in English (with one notable exception) and all influential either in settling the text or in showing what good craftsmanship can make of a book so physically formidable. Unfortunately there are some breaks in the list. Most to be regretted are the omissions of Taverner's Bible f 1539). the Genevan New Testament (1557). Tomson's revision of the New Testament (1576), the first Cambridge Bible (1629). the great Cambridge folio (1638), the first Oxford folio (1680), and the Aitken New Testament (1777). A limited number of catalogues will be published for the use of those attending the exhibition, Mr. Abbott states, copies of which may be purchased. Council Seeks 10th Medal Winner New Rochester President Alan Chester Valentine, newly ap- pointed president of the University of Rochester,will be the principal speaker at the 36th annual University day convocation and mid-year commencement exercises to be held in Edmund Hayes hall on February 22. So far President Valentine's subject has not yet been announced,but it is expected that he will speak on some subject o f cultural and educational importance, according to Chancellor SamuelP. Capen. Until his appointment at Rochester on November 15, President Valentine was master of Pierson college at Yale university. While plans for the ceremonies were being made, secret sessions were being held this month by members of the University council, to choose the tenth recipient of the Chancellor's medal, and Buffalo's Man (or Woman) of the Year. Founded by the late Chancellor Charles P. Norton, the award is given to some to he Mid-Year Speaker person who has brought honor and distinction to the city of Buffalo. It is the highest accolade within the university's power. Unlike most other institutions of learning, it grants no honorary degrees. Others who have received the Chancellor's medal are: The late Rt. Rev. Charles H. Brent, bishop, author, internationalist; the late Walter Platt Cooke, international lawyer; Frank B. Baird, father of Buffalo's Peace bridge; the late John J. Albright, donor of Buffalo's Albright Art gallery; Chauncey J. Hamlin, LL.B., '05, founder of the Buffalo Science museum; Dr. Frank A. Hartman, endocrinologist and discoverer of cortin; Dr. F. Parke Lewis, leader in the prevention of infant blindness; former Supreme Court Justice Daniel J. Kenefick, father of Buffalo's new city charter; Katharine Cornell, actress. Not until the very moment of presentation is the identity of the recipient revealed. Farris Urges Arts Re-organization Possibility of a horizontal revamping of the Arts and SciencesAlumni association is seen in the appointment of Dr. John T. Horton, 8.A., '26, as chairman of a constitution revision committee. That the new constitution probably will be ready for approval at the June reunion is anticipated by President Louis G. Farris, 8.5., '26, M.D., '30. "There are scores of alumni who are interested in the university and its alumni affairs, but for whom there is no official alumni organization," is Dr. Farris' comment. "A notable example is the group of library science certificate holders. There is at present no library science alumni association,and as I understand the General association's by-laws there can be none until the library science curriculum is given the status of a school or division. "The holders of the old analytical chemistry degree, the engineering certificate, and many others, are in the same situation. "These alumni have come through or have been so close to the College of Arts and Sciences that their natural place should be in the college's alumni association. Bachelors of science in medicine, though they also hold the M. D. degree, also should be eligible for membership. And we certainly can claim a hold on the education and social work alumni, or at least those of them who completed their courses before their respective schools were formally established." Dr. Farris proposes an Arts association made up of sections representing these various groups. Each section would have its own officers and could conduct programs for its own membership. But representatives of the sections would comprise the governing body of the Arts association,which in turn would maintain a program for all who had been students in the college. '"Our purpose," says the president, "is to maintain the integrity of the Arts and SciencesAlumni association,and at the same time give recognition to what some have called the 'orphan' groups in our alumni body." Club Plans Surprises A gala party for Buffalo's male graduwill be held in March by the University of Buffalo Alumni club, it is announced by President Earl L. Eaton, M.D., '17. Details are not completed, but Dr. Eaton warns members and friends to be on the lookout for further announcements. "There will be prizes and surprises," he says. ates �3 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN Southern Tier Party To Binghamton, N. y.'s Hotel Bennett will journey alumni of six counties for the University day dinner-dance of the Southern Tier Alumni association on February 22. According to plans announced by President Ralph J. McMahon,M.D., '21, the party will start at 8 P. M. The event will be conducted in cabaret style, with dancing between courses and a gala floor show. DR. MCMAHOX A special feature of the party will be the showing of moving pictures which will be provided by the university. They will show recent activities on the campus and giveold grads a glimpse of the institution's building developments. The following counties are included in the branch club's territory: Broome, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware, Otsego and Tioga. The Southern Tier Alumni association was organized 11 months ago. How Your Alumni Groups Operate Alumni Set-up No Puzzle To the minds of many alumni still occurs the question, "What are the General Alumni association and the Alumni council ?" With a view to setting bewildered graduates straight on their place in the organization picture, the following explanation is offered. A glance at the diagram below will show that the more than 8100 living alumni of the university comprise the graduate body, distributed throughout 45 states and the District of Columbia, and 14 foreign countries and territories. These fall into natural groups, known as the divisional alumni associations. There are eight of these, including the University of Buffalo Alumnae, which two years ago obtained divisional status. Each divisional alumni association carries on a program of interest to its own members. Thus the Medical and Dental associations hold annual clinics, the Business Administration association holds business round-tables,and so on. Each group, of course, has its own officers. Each divisional association is represented by four delegates who sit on the board of trustees of the General Alumni association. This body, therefore, repre- UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALOALUMNI ORGANIZATIONCHART to Those Who Read This the entire graduate body, and its program is set up to appeal to all alumni. An example is the 21st anniversary dinner to be held this month on University day (see page 1). Deprived of their alumni office by the drop in income resulting from the depression, the various alumni associations about three years ago petitioned the University council to set up such an office and to undertake its financing. The problem was referred to the council's committee on alumni affairs. The final plan as approved by the council was that an office should be established,its expenses to be paid out of university funds, and its management to be under supervision of the committee on alumni affairs. The committee was then reorganized as the Alumni council, with its own officersand by-laws. Those by-laws provide that all alumni who are members of the University council, simultaneously serve as members of the Alumni council. The graduate body elects its own representatives annually to the University council, thereby having a voice in the management of the Alumni office. The alumni secretary, therefore, is an appointee of the graduate body's own council representatives. In order that the Alumni office's facilities might be made available to the organized alumni, the same individual also was elected by the GAA trustees as secretary of the association. The functions of the GAA and the Alumni council are similar but not the same. Both are interested in alumni activity, individual loyalty and organization progress, but the council acts largely as a go-between for the alumni and the university, while the association acts as the spiritual parent and co-ordinator of what would otherwise be an assortment of unrelated groups. Another form of alumni organization is represented by the branch clubs, which are springing up in communities outside the city of Buffalo. Though removed from the university's immediate sphere, they display a keen understanding of its problems, and many of them already have found ways to serve in matters academic, athletic and financial. Though chartered by the General Alumni association,the branch clubs at present have no representation on its board of trustees.

Schoellkopf Named Buffalo's Man of the Year The name of Schoellkopf has for years been an important one on the Niagara frontier. Niagara power, industrial chemistry, leather production, real estate, investment securities and philanthrophy have felt the influenceof a family which settled in the area during the latter half of the 19th century. Not because he is president of the Niagara-Hudson Power company, a director of several banks and a leader in Buffalo's social life, but because of his "wise and unselfishleadership in the work of conserving the bodies and spirits" of his fellow citizens in a great national emergency, the Chancellor's medal was presented on University day to Alfred he served without remuneration until pressure of business affairs necessitated his resignation last October.At that time his work was publicly praised by both President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Gov. Herbert H. Lehman. He was the first chairman of the Buffalo ERB, and has served as president of the Buffalo Musical foundation, trustee, director and executive committee member of the Buffalo Generalhospital, and director of the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences. Forty-three diplomas and certificates state legislature, were presented at the exercises by Chancellor SamuelP. Capen. The list included one degree of doctor of philosophy, one doctor of education,two masters of arts, three masters of education,nine bachelors of arts, five bachelors of science in business administration, eight bachelors of science in education,seven bachelors of science in nursing, five certificates in library science,one certificate in social work and one diploma in business administration. The program also included an address on "Democracy's Challenge to the Pioneer," by Alan C. Valentine, new president of the University of Rochester. Hugo Schoellkopf. Tenth person to receive the award, Mr. Schoellkopf thus becomes Buffalo's Man of the Year. Citizen Schoellkopf was born in Buffalo July 12, 1893. It was his grandfather, Jacob F. Schoellkopf, who first utilized successfully the power generated at Niagara Falls. Today the grandson finds himself one of the country's leading electric power executives. He is also president of the Niagara Sprayer & Chemical Co., Inc., and a director of the Manufacturers & Traders Trust company,the Marine Midland Trust company of NewYork and the New York Light & Power corporation. But the civic enterprise which was recognized at the university's 36th midyear convocation was in the field of public social service. Very early in the depression Mr. Schoellkopf bent his efforts toward the alleviation of a crisis. As chairman of the Mayor's Committee on Unemployment he worked for co-ordination of public and private welfare efforts, the raising of money for work the agencies could not perform, the saving of a rapidly declining public morale. In 1933 he was appointed to the New York State TERA, and within a short time became its chairman. Declining the salary of $11,500 a year fixed by the FOR CONSERVING BODIES AND SPIRITS Chancellor Capen presents the Norton award to —Buffalo Evening a good citizen.

His services to the university began in 1907,when he joined the faculty of the Law school. For 20 years he lectured on law bailments and carriers. In 1927 his other activities caused him to resign from the faculty and he was appointed professor emeritus. For the next two years he served on the Medical school faculty as professor of medical jurisprudence. When the University council was reorganized in 1920. Mr. Bartholomew became a member of that body, and in 1930,he was elected its vice chairman. He succeeded the late Walter P. Cooke as chairman two years later. He was a potent factor in both university endowment campaigns, serving as publicity director. Outside the university his community services were legion. As a publicity executive during the Liberty Loan drives, president of the Erie County Bar association, treasurer of the New York State Bar association, a leader in the Joint Charities and Community fund campaigns, a director of the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce,treasurer of the Legal Aid bureau, board secretary of the Buffalo State Teachers College, secretary of the Buffalo General hospital, member of the Buffalo CWA, and member of the executive committee of the Buffalo Centennial celebration in 1932,his accomplishments were such as to call forth citywide mourning at his passing. Among those bodies which took official note of Mr. Bartholomew's death was the New York State Board of Regents, which heard a eulogy by Member John Lord O'Brian, LL.B., '98. On motion of Owen D. Young, Mr. O'Brian's remarks Alumni News Brevities graduate assistant in chemistry, was winner of the 1935-36 graduate student award of the Western New York section of the American Chemicalsociety, fur outstanding individual research.

Widely known as one of Manhattan's outstanding portraitists, for his fidelity to subject and for his excellence of detail, George Laurence Nelson a few weeks ago began work on an oil of one of the University of Buffalo's grand old men. The subject: Pharmacy's Dean Willis G. Gregory, M.D.? '82, Ph.G., '86. The object: Preparation of a gift to the university as an alumni tribute to Dr. Gregory's life work, on his and his division's Golden Jubilee celebration, April 22. To Buffalo Consistory on that evening will go a large proportion of the 1428 Pharmacy school graduates, to join with faculty members,students and friends of the university in honoring Dr. Gregory. Among them will be Dr. Robert P. Fischelis,former president of the American Pharmaceutical association and former secretary of the New Jersey State Board of Pharmacy, and Dr. Harlan H. Homer, assistant commissioner for professional and higher education of New York state, who will be the evening's principal speakers. Present, too, will be Chancellor Samuel P. Capen, who will act as toastmaster; Eli H. Long, M.D., '82, and Albert P. Sy, Ph.D., '08, who will present the portrait in the name of the alumni; Dr. A. Bertram Lemon, Ph.G., '13, general chairman of the celebration, and scores of townsmen come to shake the hand of their friend and neighbor. Banquets are habitually late in getting under way. Therefore the committee in charge announces that the period for renewing old acquaintances will be from 6:30 to 7:30 P. M. Promptly at the end of that hour, the banquet will commence. The Pharmacy Alumni association Joint Celebration 1936 Jubilee was founded. university, now in its 90th year, celebrate the 50th birthday of its second oldest division, and the completion of a half-century in its service by America's "dean of pharmacy deans." Willis G. Gregory was born April 19, 1857,in Theresa,N. Y. He removed to Amsterdam in 1860,and to Buffalo in 1863. In 1882 he was a graduate of the Schoolof Medicine, and four years later a graduate of the new School of Pharmacy. He joined its faculty the same year, and became its dean in 1890. During his long and active career he has held many important local and national positions. He has been at various times a member of the New York State Board of Pharmacy, the United States Pharmacopoeial Revision committee,and the National Pharmacy Syllabus committee. He served 33 years as president of the New York State Pharmaceutical which teaches that science Thus will the VETERAN OF 50 YEARS His lineaments will appear in oil usually holds its annual election banquet in June. President John Hobbie,'33, announces that this year's meeting will be held in conjunction with the jubileebanquet. On the two days following the dinner, the school will hold open house for the general public. This annual event has become progressively more elaborate and each succeeding year's attendance has increased. During the afternoon and evening hours, artistic, informative displays and demonstrations will be found in virtually every one of Foster hall's classrooms and laboratories. Studentsand faculty members will act as guides and demonstrators. Visitors may peer through microscopes at deadlybacteria,watch the manufactureof toothpaste or witness the cautious efficiency with which modern drug clerks fill prescriptions. A special feature of this year's open house will be an exhibit showing the astounding changes which have come over the science of pharmacy since the school association. He has been a delegate to the United States Pharmacopoeial convention for five consecutive terms covering a period of over 40 years, which is believed to be a record. He is also a member of the American Association of University Professors,the Metric Association of America, the Buffalo Torch club, the Buffalo Mercer club, the University council and the Alumni council. Perhaps the most interesting of his former memberships is that in the Buffalo Lawn Bowling club, composed of men who, like Dr. Gregory, enjoyed their skittles when golf was less popular. One of Alumnus Gregory's most engrossing hobbies is the acquisition of old mortars and pestles. He now has a collection of more than 50. The most venerable of them antedates the Revolution by half a century, was made of wood by American pioneers, and was preserved by a New England family. �2 The Faculty on Review Recent faculty and administration news included the following: DEAN RALPH C. EPSTEIN of the School of Business Administration was called to New York city for a meeting of the Joint Committeeon Income Tax Statistics, an agency appointed by the American Economic association and the American Statistical association, which will advise the U. S. Bureau of Internal Revenue on the revision of income tax forms and handling of income tax statistics. DR. RUFUS R.

PRATT, professor of history, accepted a one-semester appointment at the University of Rochester as a pinch-hitter for Dexter Perkins, chairman of the U. of R. history department. Dr. Pratt is acknowledged the outstanding American authority on the expansion periods of U. S. history. Later this year he goes to Johns Hopkins university to lecture on that subject.

Tons of snow fell, choking streets, snarling traffic, bringing business almost to a standstill. While citizens were condemning municipal officials' frantic, ill-organized efforts to restore some kind of order, members of the campus community were congratulating themselves on the existence of the university's maintenance staff. No sooner had snow begun to threaten the two miles of campus roadway than Maintenance Superintendent Conrad J. Leupold declared an emergency. With quiet efficiency his crews embarked on trucks and tractors. Day and night they kept going through the height of the storm in a supreme effort to keep roads passable. As drifts piled higher and higher and city streets became dotted with stalled trolley cars, automobiles and busses,Leupold's gangs plugged stubbornly along. Plows threw the snow in piles higher than a man's head. Then trucks were pressed into action to haul the piles away, making room for more. Meanwhile, students and faculty members were getting into difficulties. So long as they clung to the roads, their progress was reasonably easy. But more than one, blinded or careless, left the road to become wedged in relentless drifts. Then the campus crew broke out tow-chains, earned the gratitude of scores by hauling luckless cars back to safety. When the emergencyhad passed, the maintenance force had definitely triumphed. At no time had it been impossible for machines to get through any portion of the campus road net. Known as "Chancellor"Leupold to many generations of students,the chief of the grounds and buildings staff has been a university employe for 14 years. He began as a janitor in the Law school building in 1921. In 1922 he took charge of the two buildings then in use on campus Foster and Sciencehalls. Today his headquarters is in the new $45,000 Service building on Winspear avenue. He supervises the activities of 17 men and 28 women, who wash, scrub, paint and repair. Carpentry, machine work, minor electrical and plumbing repairs are all within his ken. The campus police force is under his jurisdiction. So is the campus delivery service, which requires an official receiving department. Grounds maintenance Js one of the heaviest jobs. Of the university's 160 acres of campus, 90 acres are now seeded and graded. These must be mown and watered continually. Last year the total mowing job reached 6,750 acres. The sprinkler system uses 12,500 gallons of water an hour in the summer season. All this winter and summer upkeep would not be possible without equipment. The present "rolling stock" includes two trucks, two tractors, two mower tractors, two small power-driven mowers, two large tractor-drawn mowers, and nine double sprinklers each 30 feet long, plus the usual component of small sprinklers, hand mowers, brooms and brushes. — CAMPUS UPKEEP Left upper, a plowman attacks one of the huge snow piles; lower, the nczv Sen-ice building; right.

Home Concert Coming The 15th annual Home concert and dance of the combined Men's and Women's Glee clubs will be held Friday. April 24, in Norton hall. Traditional as one of the student body's outstanding events, the concert this year climaxes an unusually active season. Appearances before clubs, societies, alumni groupsand on the radio have been on the musical calendar. Onlyrecently the two organizations sang before the musicloving public of Buffalo in a special appearance with the Buffalo Philharmonic orchestra. Next month the Women's Glee club goes to Keuka college to compete in a contest sponsored by the New York State Federation of Music. Two orchestras have been engaged for the post-concert dance,during which Cap & Gown, women's senior honorary society, will "tap" members for 1936-37. Many alumni return every year for this event. Tickets may be procured by writing or telephoning Norton hall. Alumni Club to Meet An open meeting of the Alumni club will be held Monday evening. April 27. in its Hotel Lenox headquarters, it is announced by President John W. Greenwood, 8.5., '21. A well-known speaker will be on the program. Alumni interested in learning what the future policies of the club will be are urged to attend. Plans are now being completed for a theater party which the club will sponsor in May. Proceeds will go toward a student aid fund which the organization is founding. law's dean alden A surprise to alumni and friends of the university was the recent rumor that Dr. Carlos C. Alden will retire this year as dean of the Schoolof Law. No official announcement has yet been made by the university administration,but newspaper reports declare that the appointment of a successor is imminent. That the present part-time faculty system will be changed to a full-time system is regarded as a foregone conclusion. Appointment of full-time teachers would mean added expense but it is understood that the Law school, one of the university's strongest divisions, is financially ready. One advantage of the full-time plan would be the position in which it would put the school to apply for first-class law school rating. Though satisfying the requirements of the American Association of Universities in all other respects, the present system has prevented the attainment of such rank until now. PAYMENTS ON 1929 ENDOWMENT PLEDGES are allowable deductions from INCOME TAX Sendchecks to the Treasurer's Office, Townsend Hall Council Nominations Nominations are being made this month for the annual election of alumni representatives to the University council.

Bertram Lemon, Ph.G., '13, as dean of the School of Pharmacy, to succeed Dr. Willis G. Gregory, M.D., '82, Ph.G., '86, who will retire at the end of this academic year (see page 3). 4. Official creation of a Division of Nursing. DENTISTRY Parallel lines meet only in infinity. That the late Dean Daniel H. Squire. D.D.S., '93, brought the parallel lines of medical and dental education into convergence at Buffalo is now history. Appointment of Dr. Koch as administrative head of the two divisions brings the two sister sciences into still closer rapport. Dean Koch will act largely as administrator, co-ordinator and business executive of the two divisions. Directly responsible for the professional training of dental students will be an associate dean of the school, who has not yet been appointed. An assistant dean of the Medical school also will be chosen soon. Dr. Koch has been connected with the Medical school for 18 years, the last six of which he has been dean. A graduate of Indiana university and Rush Medical college, he became professor of pharmacology at Buffalo in 1918, and was named secretary of the school the same year. In 1928 he was appointed acting dean, and became dean in 1930. He is a fellow of the American Medical association and the Indiana Medical academy. LAW A new rule of the L'niversity council provides that administrative officers shall relinquish their administrative positions upon reaching the age of 70. Thus the retirement of Dr. Alden this year becomes automatic. The university will not be deprived of his services, however, since he has consented to serve as a full-time professor of law. To fill the vacated deanship, the council chose a graduate of the Harvard Lawschool. A native of Manchester, N. H., Mr. Shea was graduated from Dartmouth college in 1925, and won his law degree at Cambridge in 1928. He spent another year there in post-graduate work, and in the Summer of 1929 became associated with the Buffalo law firm of Slee, O'Brian, Hellings and Ulsh. In 1933 he organized and became head of the Opinion bureau of the legal division of the United States Department of Agriculture. Since 1935 he has been directing a legal staff of 40 lawyers as general counsel of the Puerto Rico Reconstruction PHARMACY DEAX friends consider it a just reward administration. PHARMACY To his job of dean of the university's second oldest division, Dr. Lemon brings MEDICO-DENTAL DEAX He further disproves an old axiom more than 20 years of experience and service. Following his graduation in 1913, he studied at the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy where he won the degree of doctor of pharmacy. In 1916 he was back at Buffalo as assistant in the department of materia medica in the Pharmarv school, becoming instructor in 1917 and professor in 1921. He has been secretary of the school for 17 years and in that capacity has served as administrative head of the school in Dr. Gregory's absence. In 1933 he was elected to the University council. Most alumni will remember him for his years of service as secretary of the General Alumni association, and for his many labors in the field of student activities. For these offerings as well as his academic contributions to the university, his friends consider the deanship a just reward. NURSING For several years the university has co-operated experimentally with the Buffalo City hospital in the training of nurses. It has offered scientific and (Continued on page 2) �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Former Dean to Return Dr. Clarence S. Marsh, former dean of the School of Business Administration, former dean of the Evening session, and former director of the Summer session, now associate director of the American Council on Education in Washington, will be the main speaker at the university's 90th annual Commencement exercises June 10 in Buffalo's Elmwood Music hall. Coming to Buffalo in 1923, "Larry" Marsh founded the Evening session, and during his ten-year tenure built its enrollment to a figure in excess of the total registration for all the remaining divisions of the university combined. For his activities in the Kiwanis club, the Buffalo club, the Scribblers, and the board of trustees of the Buffalo seminary, he is well known to many Buffalo citizens. For his hearty personality, his stimulating influence on student activities and his efficient administration of three university divisions, he is equally well known to hundreds of alumni.

Gregory, M.D., '82, Ph.G., '86, will retire from the deanship of the School of Pharmacy at the end of this academic year. This fact was revealed following the gala banquet last month which marked his completion of 50 years of service to the university, as well as the Golden Jubilee of the school. Dean of pharmacy deans in the United States, and possibly dean of all deans, Alumnus Gregory passed his 79th birthday three days before the celebration. Though still an active person, he has been ailing intermittently for the last few years, and has chosen this year to vacate the deanship in favor of a younger man (see page 1). That he will retain his connection with the school as a member of the faculty will please his many friends. The fact that the Pharmacy school was marking its own 50th aniversary became a secondary consideration at last month's banquet. In Dr. Gregory the 400-odd guests, one of whom* sped by airplane from Ryan, Okla., saw- the exemplification of all that the school has stood for in its existence. In him, too, they saw the exemplification of lifelong service to the cause of higher education. In a letter of congratulation the General Alumni association said: "(The alumni) are proud of one whose loyalty and devotion to his Alma Mater have set an example for all to emulate. In you they see the embodiment of all that they could wish to be. You, sir, are the typical, the composite alumnus of the University of Buffalo." Many were the tributes paid to the beloved veteran. Dr. Harlan H. Homer, assistant commissioner for higher education of New York state; Dr. Robert P. Fischelis, past president of the Amer- Branch Club Meetings ALUMNI GIFT Califoniimis helped pay the painter ican Pharmaceutical association and secretary and chief chemist of the New Jersey State Board of Pharmacy; George W. Mather, secretary of the New York State Board of Pharmacy, and Chancellor Samuel P. Capen, who acted as toastmaster, made reams of glowing copy for newspaper reporters. So high was the stack of telegrams and letters from far and near, that the toastmaster was unable to read any, but handed them to Dr. Gregory for his private perusal. But possibly the greatest tribute of all was the presentation to the university by the alumni of a brand new oil portrait of the guest of honor. Paid for by alumni gifts coming from as far as California, and painted by famed Portraitist George Laurence Nelson, the canvas will hang in Foster hall as a permanent memorial to a great alumnus. *Dr. W.

Final plans for a "Back - to - Col- lege" day, recently announced by President Louis J. Farris, 8.5., '26, M.D., '30. provide for a nearly continuous schedule of events from 11 A.M. to midnight on Saturday, June 6. Alumni "institutes" and "postcollege" courses are becoming inDR. FARRIS creasingly popular at other institutions. Buffalo alumni, not to be regarded as backward in the face of a definite trend, are expected to respond in large numbers to this year's experiment. At 11 A.M. on June 6 in Norton hall, Dr. L. Grant Hector, professor of phys- ics and well-known expert on radio, will give a "popular"' lecture and demonstration on the subject, "Television Just Around the Corner." Highly regarded Niagara lucidity on the frontier for the of his technical addresses, Dr. Hector's of modern science have demonstrations been well received. An informal luncheon will follow, after which Dr. Julius W.

His presentation will be followed by a round-table on international affairs. At 3 o'clock the entire amusement facilities of Norton hall will be turned over to the alumni. Director Robert Parke is planning tournaments in tabletennis, deck tennis, shuffle-board, pool, billiards and bridge.

Last fortnight, ballots were counted, and the following were officially declared chosen for four-year terms: Marshall Clinton. M.D., '95; Willis G. Gregory, M.D., '82, Ph.G., '86; Myron S. Short. LL.B., '08. Of the three, Mr. Short's will be the only new face in deliberative sessions of the council. Dr. Clinton already has served as an alumni representative, and Dr. Gregory had been an ex-officio member during his tenure as dean of the School of Pharmacy. New Councillor Short began his legal career as the first corporation counsel of the newly incorporated city of Lackawanna. In 1914 hebecame associated with the Buffalo law firm of DeWitt Clinton. In 1921 he became assistant attorney of the Buffalo Savings bank, was elected a trustee in 1930, and became secretary of the bank in 1934. He has served as presi- dent of the Erie County Bar association, and since 1931 as president of the Buffalo V.M.C.A. All three will automatically take places on the Alumni council, as do all alumni members of the University council. Thus the Alumni council enters its fifth year of existence with a membership of 15, of whom six are law alumni, four are medical alumni, one a dental alumnus, one a pharmacy alumnus, one an arts alumnus, one an alumnus of both medicine and pharmacy, one an alumnus of both arts and law. Officers and executive committee members of the Alumni council were to be elected at a meeting to be held later in the month. No chairman of the University council has been chosen to succeed the late A. Glenni Bartholomew, LL.B., '03. Reelected vice chairman was James McCormick Mitchell, LL.B.. '97, and the following were re-elected by the council for new terms: Gen. Louis L. Babcock, Comp- troller George D. Crofts, Charles Diebold, Jr., LL.B., '97 (who also will continue on the Alumni council), Edward Michael and William A. Rogers. The council adopted a balanced budget for 1936-37 with estimated income and disbursements of $1,114,711.28. The figure is approximately $58,000 higher than the 1935-36 budget, which amounted to $1,-056,749.21. The university has not experienced a deficit since the academic year 1931-32. The council also authorized Chancellor Samuel P. Capen to present, at the 90th annual Commencement on June 10, the following degrees and certificates: M.D., 62; M.S. in Medicine, 3; B.S. in Nursing, 3; certificate in nursing. 29; Ph.G., 18; B.S. in Pharmacy, 4; LL.B., 43; D.D.S., 38; certificate in engineering, 2; 8.A., 69; certificate in library science, 6; M.A., 12; Ph.D., 1; B.S.

Thus the university is assured of a continuation of Van Bibber's technique, a modification of the Notre Dame system. Like Van Bibber. Peelle was a Purdue star.

Reason: A rare opportunity for advancement in the teaching profession. Within a few hours, university authon ties were considering 40 appiicants, attracted by the improvements which came during Van Bibber's two year tenure. Such factors were better schedules, better morale, a new eligibility code, medical examinations for athletes, increasing goodwill among alumni, faculty, students and the public, and a promising ball club ready to take the field against the 1936 opponouncement nents. With little hesitation, the powers picked two years Van Bib- James E. Peelle, for NEW COACH at Purdue He also starred NEXT BULLETIN IN FALL This is the last issue of the Bulletin until October.

Elected a trustee of the General Alumni association was Mrs. Hill. If interest, rather than numbers, is an index, the first annual Back-to-College day of the Arts and Sciences Alumni association was a success. Before a small but select group of graduates on June 6, Dr. L. Grant Hector, professor of physics, delivered a lucid and surprising dissertation on "Television Around the Corner" and Dr. Julius W. Pratt, professor of history, lectured on "The United States and World Peace." The quality of interest was proved by the round-table discussions which followed each presentation. They lasted almost as long as the lectures themselves. Members spent the balance of the afternoon strolling campus walks, visiting new buildings, engaging in tennis, shuffle-board, pool, billiards, table-tennis and bridge. Then they and many more beside attended the 16th annual banquet where they heard garet Chancellor Samuel P. Capen, Dean Julian Park, sound experts from the Buffalo Broadcasting corporation, and a "VoxPop" for college graduates by Paul D. Williams, LL.B.. '32, and J. Keith Noye, 8.5., '27. Adopted without opposition was the new constitution which provides membership for library science certificate holders, analytical chemists and other groups not previously eligible for membership. New officers elected were: President, Everett H. F.inchbaugh. 8.5., '29; vice president, Marion L. Carroll, 8.A., '28; secretary, Margaret L. Holmes, 8.A., '29; treasurer, Mr. Noye. Arthur I.

Epstein, Assistant Dean Shaw Livermore, Arts Dean Julian Park, new Head Football Coach Jim Peelle, GAA President Harry I. Good, B.S. in Bus. Ad., '27; Ed. M., '31 and Alumni Secretary William G.

Brightly colored map-tacks show distribution of alumni throughout 46 states of the Union, and still brighter ones show locations of branch clubs. Seventh and newest branch club tack was added to the map a fortnight ago, representing the new University of Buffalo Allegheny Region Alumni association, which was organized May 29 in Olean. N. Y. Fifty graduates gathered to hear Shaw Livermore, assistant dean of the School of Business Administration and secretary of the Athletic council, and to view motion pictures of campus activities, narrated by Alumni Secretary William G. Cook, 8.5., '27. From as far north as Franklinville, as far west as Randolph, as far east as Andover. and as far south as Smethport, Pa., they journeyed at the call of Arthur L. Runals, M.D., '11, of Olean. When the banquet was over they had adopted a constitution, elected officers, decided to hold a gathering this Fall. On a wall in First officers of the association are: President, Dr. Runals; vice president, Howard W. Smith, D.D.S., '31, Cuba; secretary, Arthur H. Hennage, Ph.G., '98, Bradford; treasurer, Chester M. Bliss, LL.B., '19, Bolivar; executive committee, Halley W. Hammond, M.D., '04, Franklinville; Frederick E. McCarty, M.D., '15, Wellsville; Dr. William A. Ostrander, Ph.G., '95, Smethport, Pa. New president of the Syracuse, N. V., Alumni club, is Wilfred F. Kerwin, LL.B., '28. He was elected to succeed Clayton A. Sayers, D.D.S., '04, at the club's final meeting of the year late in May. Highlights of the meeting were addresses by Dean Edward W. Koch of the Schools of Medicine and Dentistry, and Art Powell, who has just concluded 21 years of service on the university's coaching staff. Guests of the club were the captains and coaches of Syracuse's high school basketball teams, eager to view the huge championship trophy which all had striven for during the past season (Bulletin, December, 1935). Winner of the cup, provided by the club and named in honor of Coach Powell, was the Syracuse Vocational high school team. To the high school auditorium morning after the dinner went Art Powell and President Kerwin to award the cup. So big is the school's present enrollment (2,200) that the speakers had to face two assemblies, present the cup twice. The Syracuse Alumni club will have these officers for 1936-37, in addition to Lawyer Kerwin: Vice president, Frank R. McCollum, D.D.S., '21, of Solvay; secretary, C. Arthur Bond, Ph.G., '18, Syracuse, (re-elected); treasurer, Gerald A. Gleason, LL.B.. '25, Syracuse. large map of the DR. LEWIS A. FROMAN A fourth deanship affected by recent action of the University council was that of the Evening session. To the executive office of that big and healthy division was appointed last month Dr. Lewis A. Froman, who has been acting dean since January, 1935. Youngest (age 29) of the university's deans. Dr. Froman was graduated from the University of Missouri in 1927. At the age of 20 he was supervisor of several chain stores in the Iron Mountain state, and at the age of 22 he started graduate work at Cornell university, receiving his doctor of philosophy degree in economics in 1931. Dr. Froman came to the University of Buffalo as instructor in economics in the same year. He became assistant dean of the Evening session in 1932, and carried the work of that office from December, 1933, when Dean Clarence S. Marsh left for Washington, until his appointment as acting dean. As the academic year neared its end. three more executive appointments were announced. Named associate dean of the School of Dentistry, and placed in direct charge of the professional training of dental students was Russell W. Groh, D.D.S., '18. Rising from instructor to professor in the period 1920 to 1929, Dr. Groh became acting chairman of the faculty upon the death of Dean Daniel EL Squire last July. Appointed assistant dean of the School of Medicine was Dr. Elmer H. Heath, assistant professor of medicine. Dr. Heath is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Harvard Medical school, and has been a member of the Buffalo faculty since 1930. Both appointments were consequences of the merging recently of the administration of the two divisions, under the deanship of Dr. Edward W. Koch (Bulletin. May). Third appointment was more in the na- ture of a promotion. Since its creation a year ago, the new School of Social Work has had no dean, but was operated by Dr. Niles Carpenter as director. Dr. Carpenter now becomes dean of the school.

"We ought to take five, maybe six games."' Thus does Buffalo's new Head Coach Jim Peelle look forward to this season's eight game football school schedule which begins October 3 with a home engagement against Defiance college. Issuing an early call for candidates, the quiet-spoken ex-Purdue quarterback dispensed with football camp, put the squad right to work on the campus practice field weeks before the university officially opened its 91st academic session. That the dynasty of Purdue mentors founded by George Van Bibber in 1934 will be continued was indicated when athletic authorities announced that another Boilermaker will assist Peelle this year. He is Fritz Febel, chunky all-star guard and onetime assistant to Noble Kizer. One of the greatest forward wall performers turned out in recent years, he will be in charge of the Blue and White line. The craftiness of a coaching staff, however, is of little account without material. That this year's material will be good was Peelle's reason for an optimistic prediction. As candidates began drifting in from summer jobs, he looked to the following men for the stuff that produces victories: Danny two COUNCIL of Buffalo Bulletin Octobe:, 1936 Dalfonso, Oscar Kerstetter and Vito Grieco, Buffalo all-high school stars; big-handed Hanford Searl, former East Aurora captain; Carl Krathwohl, who starred last year at center; Bob Young, trained by Pop Warner at Temple; Bobbie Belden, whose fine career was interrupted by a mid-season injury, and such other veteran lettermen as Wally Vaughn, Salvatore LaTona, Clyde Nagle, Warren Bickers, Carl Shiesley, Gene Batt and Frank Harrington. The team will average 190 pounds per man—higher than for several seasons. There will be at least two complete first-string backfields—almost a record at Buffalo. The bench will sag under ample substitute linemen. Virtually, every man on the squad is now thoroughly conversant with the modified Notre Dame system. Buffalo will play a sensible schedule, made up of teams in its own class. For all these reasons, plus behind-thescenes improvement in athletic administration, Buffalo rooters could agree with Skipper Peelle that the 1936 prospects are good. To many fans the defeat of Rochester is imperative. The Rivermen have not been on the Bulls' schedule since 1932, a year of strong feeling on athletic matters. When they follow the Bulls to the Flower City on October 10, Buffalo partisans will look for victory as the proper way to renew an old rivalry. Another interest peak will be reached on Homecoming day, November 7, when Hobart invades Rotary field with the avowed intention of avenging its one-point defeat of last year. Peelle believes his proteges can duplicate the achievement and make returning alumni happy. Again this year the Athletic council is offering home-game season tickets at bargain 1936 SCHEDULE Oct. 3—Defiance, home 10—Rochester, away 17—Alfred, away 24—Hiram, home 31—Clarkson, away Nov. 7—HOBART, HOMECOMING 14—Wayne, away 21— R. P. 1., home rates. Each ticket is good for four admissions, sold for the price of three. Admissions are interchangeable, and may be used up by four persons at one game or in any other combination. Tickets are transferable. To aid in the distribution of tickets throughout Western New York, a group of 100 loyal alumni has organized the 1936 Football Co-operators. Head man is Arnott A. Moore, DDS '15, longtime member of the Alumni club and present chairman of its athletic committee. On the executive committee of the Co-operators are: Judge Allen E. Bargar, LLB '14, Jamestown; Chester O. Baysor, LLB '14, Lockport; L. Paul Bash, BS (Bus) '35, Niagara Falls; Walter S. Behrens, DDS '30; Louis G. Farris, BS '26, MD '30; John G.

Among the new projects for the coming year approved by the council is the preparation of a cinema tour of the university. The move is the result of a 20-minute "show" presented during the past year before several alumni groups. The reel included glimpses of campus buildings, prominent members of the faculty and of some student activities. With the financial cooperation of the various divisions and several special departments, a more elaborate production will be made, which will be useful for both alumni and high school audiences. To the natural question: Will it be a sound picture? the Alumni council replies. "We are not ready yet." The Alumni council was established four years ago as an agency of liaison between the alumni and the S. I.

As a Law school undergraduate Judge Harris held the Clinton scholarship and won the Daniels Thesis prize. He was honor man of his graduating class. He served 16 years on the schools faculty, and was a leader in the endowment campaigns of 1920 and 1929. He has served as president of the New York State Conference of Social Workers and the Jewish Federation of Social Service. He was first elected to the University council in 1927 and has served continuously since. Businessmen Aid Again That Buffalo's School of Business Administration has caught the favorable attention of the business world was demonstrated last year when 15 local and national executives served as associate faculty members and special lecturers, under an experimental plan inaugurated by Dean Ralph C. Epstein. This year a similar imposing group will assist the school in giving students a well diversified contact with leaders in all major fields of industry, commerce and finance. The list includes: Henry S. Dennison. president of the Denmson Manufacturing Co. (paper products). Framingham. Mass. Edward A. Filene, president and chairman, finance committee. Wm. Filene Sons Co. (department store), Boston. Edwin F. Gay, member of the research staff, Huntington Library and Art Museum, San Marino, Calif. Thomas I.

Marine Trust Company of Buffalo and Marine Midland corporation. Thomas Robins Jr., president, Hewitt Rubber corporation, Buffalo. Marc Rose, business economist and writer, former editor ot Business Week, New York. Leslie N. Selig. president. General American Transportation corporation, Chicago. These 15 businessmen will give formal lectures to the entire student body. Many of them will hold conferences and round tables for selected groups of students, to supplement their formal presentations. Some of their concerns, and others to a total of 20, will work with the university again this year in offering clinical instruction to business students. Qualified undergraduates will spend a half day or more each week in plants and stores under direct supervision of company executives and the guidance of regular faculty members, observing details of organization and operation. At the end of each semester, they will be given full college credit for those efforts. Thus, what is still a new plan for business training will give students contacts which may serve them in good stead when they finally join the ranks of job-seekers. IN 1929 A total of 2266 Alumni pledged more than a quarter of a million dollars to the University's Endowment Fund. Today some pledges in default, though the University's need for the help of her sons and daughters is greater than ever. are Token Payments Are proving popular in many kinds of financial transactions.

In the document, the late Mrs. Evelyn Howes Clark, widow of Irwin Brayton Clark, onetime prominent Buffalo seed merchant, bequeathed $300,001) to the university for construction of "some worthwhile" building on campus. Under terms of the will as filed in Surrogate's court, the money must be placed in trust until the interest and principle are sufficient to carry out the testators desires. "I want said building to be as pretentious as any on the campus," she stated in the document. This, she said, should not require more than five years. No specification was made as to what branch of the university the building should house. On the larger campus buildings, the last report of Comptroller George D. Crofts places the following valuations, exclusive of land, furniture or equipment: Foster hall, $744,909.67; Edmund Hayes hail, $613,151.21; Lockwood Memorial library, $430,960.85; Crosby hall, $426,-988.62; Norton hall, $218,828.64. Anticipated this fall is delivery of a "College Music Set," granted by the Carnegie corporation. The set will become a permanent property of the university, and will be housed in a sound-proof room in Lockwood Memorial library, where it will be available to the student body. It consists of a large Caphart gramophone with approximately 900 records of operas, symphonies, string quartets and other music, beside some 50 volumes of musical literature. 3 Alumni News Brevities Branch Club Directory "05 MD—Arthur G.

FOOTBALL/ Season Tickets Now 4 1' on Sale ADMISSIONS $3 (One Admission Free) Oil a Football Co-operator or Alumni Office This Hard Headed Generation A collegiate custom, common to many American institutions, is the creation of a memorial by each graduating class. A long trail of stained glass windows, stone benches, arches, gates and fountains testifies to the human wish for immortality, as well as the desire to do something for Alma Mater. That today's student body is more practical, more serious minded than many of its predecessors was proved last Spring when members of BuffaNANKNOWLTON, "36 lo's fourth year class determined to create a 1936 class memorial in the form of a cash gift to the - - university. First suggested by Nancy Lou Knowlton, president of Norton union, the Senior Memorial plan was taken up by the senior classes on campus. Later it spread to the Medical school with good results. Because of the lateness of its presentation, the plan was not adopted by the Dental and Law school seniors, though one dentistry senior did join. Final results showed a total of 114 graduating students had pledged themselves to give to the university $1 a year for five years, making a total of $570. This was later reduced to 99 students when the 15 Medical school pledgors requested cancellation of their pledges because of the sudden death of their class secretary, Jean S. Hahl, BA '32, and their decision to erect a memorial to her in the Medical school library. This leaves the total pledge at $495. The Alumni office, which is handling the clerical work for the pledgors, has agreed to present the plan to future graduating classes. Here is the list of pledgors to the 1936 Class Memorial: ARTS AND SCIENCES Herbert C. Boedecker Geraldine L. Oswald Sigmund Pelczynski Anna R. Bronstein Kathleen G. Pinch Mrs. Harold J.

Y. To welcome old grads on that day, student and faculty workers have been laying plans for weeks past. AH graduates who won letters in football or basketball during the last eight years have ben invited to be guests of the Athletic council at the game. Upwards of 100 complimentary tickets have been sent out, and an alumni Block B section will be reserved in the stands. At the end of the first half Dr. Harold G. Hewitt, who has just been re-elected president of the Athletic council, will step to a microphone to broadcast a welcome to the warriors of other days. President Robert I. Millonzi, BA 32, LLB 35, of the General Alumni association, will speak on behalf of the graduate body. Director Robert Planners Anticipate a Victory Celebration Parke of Norton hall will tell about the alumni program which the students have prepared for the day. Hot coffee will flow at a matinee after the game. The annual Harvest dance will be held at 10 o'clock that night. All Alumni will be guests of the union at both functions. The Harvest dance is one of Norton halls traditional events. Strictly informal, it is frequently attended by merrymakers clad in old clothes which often take a rustic turn. The dance hall is turned into a "barn"" for the night, where corn shocks, cider and square dances have a definite place in the festivities. Successful in its own right, the Harvest dance will be better if Buffalo wins that day, which sports writers and other critics believe it will do. In any event, the game will be a minor classic, with Hobart determined to avenge the upset which gave Buffalo a 13-12 victory last year. Regular evening service is now offered on weekdays by the Norton cafeteria, where Manager Helen Coleman offers complete ■40-cent dinners. Thus homecomers need not stir from the campus after the game. For the moments between dinner time and dance time, Norton hall's bookshelves offer ample pastime. Student members of the Homecoming committee are George Bury, president of the Norton union board of managers; Norman Peterson, chairman of its program committee and Arthur Kemp, chairman of the Harvest dance. Since there are 4138 alumni in Buffalo alone, all invited to the Homecoming dance and since non-university persons must pay, the problem of identification is no small one. Unable to provide 4138 guest tickets, the the committee has decided to use the Bulletin for identification purposes. Recipients should tear out the address blank on page 4 of this issue, which they are requested to surrender at the Harvest dance. Holders of that form and their dance partners will be admitted without charge. Alumni are reminded that special rates on admission to home games may be had by purchase of season tickets. Chairman Arnott A. Moore, DDS '15 of the 1936 Football Co-operators emphasizes that four admissions may be bought for the price of three, and that all admissions on one ticket may be used at one game, or in any other combination. He suggests that alumni form parties of four for the Hobart game, the total cost of admission being reduced by one dollar. If not used up that day, admissions will be good for the one remaining game, Buffalo vs. R. P. 1., on Nov. 21. Hewitt Elected Again That Buffalo's present, and admittedly successful athletic policy will be continued WHAT THE SPORT SCRIBES SAY A random fistful of early-m-the-season clippings from the pages of local and out-of-town papers for another year was indicated by the election of all Athletic council officers last month. The results: President, Dr. Harold G. Hewitt; vice president, Dr. Martin A. Brumbaugh; secretary, Assistant Dean Shaw Livermore; business manager, William J. Blackburn. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Alumni Kinsmen Swell Freshman Class The number of entering freshmen who are closely related to alumni shows an increase over last year's figure, according an Alumni office analysis. A total of 81 first-year men and women has been recorded for 1936, as against the 1935 figure of 77. Because of the length of the list, the figure includes only members of the immediate families. Cousins, uncles, and "in-laws" are not shown. to The College of Arts and Sciences tops all other divisions with 26 such entrants, while the Pharmacy school is second with 17, and the Law school third with 15. Four students are grandsons, 37 are sons or daughters of alumni, and one is both a son and grandson.

Monroe Picks Mondo When President George D. Greenwood, DDS '16, of the Monroe County Alumni club, called a meeting of his association for the night of the Buffalo-Rochester football game, he announced that it would be a victory dinner for the Blue and White squad. That his prediction was sound was proved when the squad arrived still glowing with 29-2 triumph (see page 1). Alumni glowed too, as the 30-odd varsitymen stood up one by one for introductions by Assistant Coach Fritz Febel, pinch-hitting for Skipper Jim Peele who was already on his way to scout the Alfred-Hartwick night game. From GAA President, Robert I. Millonzi, BA '32, LLB '35, Dr. Greenwood received the General Alumni association's official charter. Few moments later, Dr. Greenwood happily passed it on to his successor, Charles J. Mondo, LLB 16. Robert M. Elliott, MD '90, stood up to receive homage as the oldest alumnus present. Shaw Livermore, secretary of the Athletic council and assistant dean of the School of Business Administration read a telegram of congratulations to the team from William J. Blackburn, business manager of athletics. Alumni Secretary William G. Cook, BS '27, narrated the university cinema, "On the Campus." Then the orchestra switched from classical to popular music and the dinner dissolved into a dance. Thus for the first time in a long time were alumni able to crow over a decisive major victory. That a few more such Bison stampedes will add new stimulus to a steadily growing alumni spirit cannot be denied. Typical of old grad feeling was a resoa ' lution introduced at the dinner by Anthony C. Scinta, MD '11, which would establish jointly with University of Rochester alumni in the Buffalo area, a trophy similar to the famous Little Brown Jug, as a symbol of Rochester Buffalo rivalry which began in 1894. The proposal was approved without a murmur of dissent, and now goes to the U. of R. group for joint approval. If the trophy is established, a struggle for its possession presumably would begin in 1937. Others elected at the Rochester meeting were: Vice president, Hyman J. Mandell, PhG '23; secretary, Robert J. Rowan, DDS '35; treasurer, Austin A. Gendreau, AC 19; executive committee, Seymour Bernstein, LLB "27; Joseph B. Loder, MD '21; Simon Meltzer, BA '30; Harold J.

Enrollment Up Again Total enrollment for all university divisions now stands at 3905, an increase of 10.5 per cent over the same period last year, according to Miss Emma E.

Enrollment totals for both full-time and part-time students are: Jiviaion Irts Jusiness Dentistry iducation .aw Medicine 'harmacy Fall '935 656 213 117 38 197 272 110 iocial Work rotal day divisions 1603 Evening session 1929 t-all 1930 668 209 116 35 200 266 120 7 1621 2284 3rand total 3532 3905 It should be borne in mind that the number of students enrolled in social work and education is considerably greater than the above figures show, because many of them are included in Evening session totals. Freshmen in the undergraduate division of Arts, Business Administration and Pharmacy increased from 315 to 399, or about 8 per cent. In the other divisions of Law, Medicine and Dentistry, the total rose from 187 to 194, or about 4 per cent. The total for all first year students, therefore, rose from 502 last Fall to 533 this Fall, an increase of about 6 per cent. The increase in the Freshman class was greater than that in any of the upper classes. 1936 Memorial Grows Since the announcement published in last month's Bulletin concerning the Class Memorial of 1936, two more pledges have been received, bringing the total up to $505.

Alumnae Meet Jan. 18 Continuing a regular series of monthly programs, the University of Buffalo Alumnae will meet in Norton hall on Mon- day evening, January 18, to hear Mrs. Catherine Rowley Lautz, it is announced by President Mac Tabor Painton, BA '28. Mrs. Lautz is a former student in the Law school, and is at present director or the Women's and Professional projects, WPA district 12. Her subject: "The Work Relief Program." Speaker at the last meeting, held in midDecember, was Stanley D. Travis, assistant professor of English and director of dramatics. These Youthful Deans The trend of Buffalo's administrators seems to be toward youth, as evidenced by a glance at the ages of its ten deans. Their average age is less than 42 years, with Dr. Edward W. Koch of the Medical and Dental schools topping the list at only 54, and Evening session's Dean Lewis A. Froman still able to pass for a student at 30. Ages of the other deans: Leslie O. Cummings, Education, 4S; Dr. A. Bertram Lemon, PhG '13, Pharmacy, 47; Dr. Julian Park, Arts, 47; Dr. Niles Carpenter, Social Work, 45; Dr. Elmer H. Heath, assistant dean, Medicine, 41; Russell W. Groh, DDS 18" associate dean, Dentistry, '39; Dr. Ralph C. Epstein, Business Administration, 37; Francis M. Shea, Law, '31. DECANAL TRIO Three of Buffalo's newest executives. At left, Dean Shea, Law; lower left, Medicine's Assistant Dean Heath: lower right, Dentistry's Associate Dean Groh, '18. December, 1936 Alumni Club Starts Student Aid Fund Help for Deserving Young Men Is Goal Many an alumnus kindly remembers the financial assistance he received in the university because of the existence of a variety of scholarship and loan funds. Upwards of 50 such funds are in existence today, created by alumni, friends and organizations interested in aiding worthy students to complete their university work. Some awards are competitive. Some are based on good character and real need for a helping hand. But when all of them are added up, the total falls far short of the number needed in an institution the size and type of Buffalo. When all existing funds are in full use, many a deserving youngster still finds himself shut out completely, or seriously cramped at any rate, by the pecuniary stringencies of going to college. To help bridge the fiscal gap between ambition and attainment, the University of Buffalo Alumni Club, Inc., long established as Buffalo's male graduate organization, is laying plans for a membership campaign, proceeds from which will go into an aid fund for worthy men students. With more than 3000 potential members in Buffalo alone, and hundreds more in the surrounding territory, officers of the club believe membership fees, which are nominal, should make it possible to help several students, beginning next year. Awards will be based on good character, need for help, scholastic ability and extracurricular achievement. Help will be extended as frequently to men who desire to enter college, as to those already enrolled. If funds are sufficient, some may be seen through their entire four years. Many alumni frequently ask what the Alumni club is, what relation it bears, if any, to the General Alumni association and the various divisional associations. The General Alumni association started out 22 years ago as the co-ordinating body between the Medical, Dental and other divisional alumni associations. Its chief functions today are the sponsorship of the annual University day dinner, a Speakers' bureau, encouragement of branch (out-oftown) alumni activity. It is operated by and for men and women graduates. TheAlumni club was founded as a men's organization, once had a commodious club house in North street, which it gave up during the depression. Though many of its members take part in G.A.A. activities, there is no official relationship between the two. The Alumni club is essentially a "stag" organization. During its existence it has been of material assistance to the Athletic council in its sales of football season tickets. It sponsored last year's Block B dinner, has several times held parties in honor of varsity gridmen, and has in other ways shown a natural interest in university athletics. Present officers are: President, John W. Greenwood, BS '21; vice president, Michael A. Crage, LLB '06; secretary, Robert E. Rich, BS (Bus) "35; treasurer, Armin H. Bode, DDS '15.

CAPEN and COUNCIL MEMBER GEORGE F. RAND. Dr. Capen earned his PhD. there in 1902, was awarded an honorary LLD in 1933- Councilor Rand holds a BS and PhD from the same institution. To enable him to make a survey of adult education in Buffalo, Dr. EARL J. McGRATH, BA '28, MA '30, has been granted a three-months' leave of absence from his duties as assistant to the chancellor. Alumnus McGrath's investigation will be part of the New York state inquiry into the cost and character of education, of which Dr. Capen is associate director. The College In New York for the annual meeting of the Association of Colleges and Universities of the State of New York was DEAN JULIAN PARK, to report for the committee on requirements for teaching, of which he is chairman. To Detroit last month went DR. ISRAEL I. EFROS, professorial lecturer in Semitics, to speak on "The New Poetry in Palestine" before the Congregation Shaarey Zedek. Two days later he was at the College of Jewish Studies in Chicago to speak on "Hebrew Poetry in America Today." Published by the Princeton University Press was a new book, "Bermuda and the American Revolution," by DR. WILFRED B. KERR, associate professor of history.

Even in death, the university's own specimen has shown tendencies in that direction. When Alumni Vincent J. Loughlin, LLB '22 and Kent Christy, LLB '24, presented a magnificent bison head to Norton hall on Homecoming day, 1934, it was given a place of honor overlooking the main stair well. Some time ago Boscoe, as he is lovingly called by undergraduates, was replaced by a huge oil painting. Down he came to another place of honor directly over the main counter, where fraternity pledges now are forced to kneel, bow salute, confess that the bison is king of them all. Councilors in Who's Who Fourteen regular members of the University council, or exactly 40 per cent, are listed in the latest issue of Wbo's Who in America.

If so, you will be interested in Federal and state income tax laws which classify gifts as allowable deductions up to 15 per cent of income. These gifts must be bona fide donations to charitable, educational or other philanthropic institutions. The university is a privately endowed educational institution which comes within that group.

'32 Alumni Clubs Hear University News Both Pick Medical School Grads For Presidents In New York's Steuben county a few years ago existed one of Buffalo's most active alumni branch clubs. Its meetings attracted caravans of visitors from the university, its spirit resulted in creation of an alumni trophy for the county's high school basketball champions. Revived last month was this strong outpost of good will at a dinner in Hornell's Hotel Sherwood. Because of the location of the three principal communities in its territory (Bath, Hornell, Dansville), it was renamed the Tri-Valley Alumni association, will function this year with these officers: President, William J. Tracy, MD '09, Hornell; vice president, Edward W. Woodbury, DDS '15, Bath; secretary, James G. Austin, Law '26, Hornell; treasurer, William J. Lawson, PhG '14, Hornell. Commanded by a legal-appearing subpoena, guests came to hear the university placed on "trial," with the committee acting as associate judges, the audience as jury, and speakers from campus as attorneys for the defense. Following a dinner of turkey and trimmings, Justice Adrian B. Stanton, DDS '24, introduced Justice Tracy, who presided. Defense Counsel Russell W. Groh, DDS '18, explained his duties as new associate dean ot dentistry and reported on the progress of the medico-dental plan of instruction. Defense Counsel James E. Peelle introduced testimony on the successful football season. Defense Counsel William G. Cook, BS '27, alumni secretary, offered in evidence the motion picture, "On the Campus," which was marked Exhibit A. Also introduced were Associate Counsels Robert I. Millonzi, BA '32, LLB '35, president of the General Alumni Association, and Dr. Frederick J. HoII, BS '22, professor of zoology. When the defense rested, the case was adjourned. It was whispered that the bench would enter a verdict of no cause of action. Last year the Lockport Alumni Club had for its president Chester O. Baysor, LLB '14, treasurer of Niagara County. This year it will function under Clyde W. George, MD '29, assistant superintendent of the Niagara County sanatorium, and an ardent fisherman (see cut). Dr. George was elected at the annual dinner meeting last month, at which Alumni Councilor Albert P. Sy, PhD '08, spoke on "Old and New Things in Diet"; Head Coach Peelle commented on the football season, which was not yet ended, and Secretary Cook narrated the campus movie. For assistance on the club's program, President George can depend upon the following board of officers: Vice president, Alfred LLB GEORGE, C. w. G OBr 29 '28; corresponding secretary, Mr. Baysor; recording secretary, Donald Gay, BA '32; treasurer, John Brophy, Jr., PhG '21; executive committee, Howard W.

An institution which is granted a charter by Phi Beta Kappa may be said to have arrived, because Phi Beta Kappa is virtually the ne plus ultra of scholarship. Received at the university a few weeks ago from the senate of Phi Beta Kappa was an invitation to apply for a charter for a Buffalo chapter. Buffalo was one of eight colleges and universities so honored. Applications of the institutions which respond will be brought before the meeting of the 19th triennial council in Atlanta, Ga., next September. LawMenHoldReunions The Law Alumni association, potentially one of the university's strongest graduate groups, has for several years remained quiescent. Strong, however, are the bonds which tie many classmates together, and which number prominent men among their members. The class of 1886 which held its 40th anniversary banquet in the Buffalo Athletic club has contributed judges, district attorneys and city councilmen, many of whom came back to hear Martin Clark, sole surviving professor of the class, deliver the speech of the evening. Chief speaker at the reunion of the class of 1910 was Member Frank A. McKowne of New York, president of Hotels Statler, Inc. Class president is Howard G. E. Smith, New York state Civil service commissioner. Theclass numbered 38 at graduation. Twenty-nine survive. Twenty-one of those 29 were at the reunion in Buffalo's Hotel Statler. Junior Prom Date Set That annual social event in which most students and not a few alumni are interested, the Junior Prom, will take place in Buffalo's Hotel Statler on Friday, Feb. 12, it is announced. The committee in charge is headed by Law Student Robert C. Sanborn, and includes the following committee chairmen: Charles Roesch, advertising; Charles Calder, tickets; Willard Genrich, orchestra; Dorothy Sharpe, patrons; Talman Van Arsdale, favors; Theodora Jacobs, door; Richard Pixley, decorations. Florence McClure is secretary, and Edward F. Mimmack, DDS '21, faculty adviser. January, 1937 Dental Alumni Expect Big Attendance Jock Sutherlandof the famous Pittsburgh Panthers will headline the entertainment program arranged for the Greater Buffalo Spring Dental meeting to be held Feb. 24-26 in Hotel Statler under auspices of the Dental Alumni association. It will be the association's 37th annual conclave. All members of the profession are invited. Sutherland's story will include a description of the inside dope on the Rose Bowl game in which the Panthers upset the Washington Huskies 21-0 on New Year's tional program conducted by nationally prominent professional men. the educa- This year's list of speakers includes John Oppie McCall, DDS "04, director of the Guggenheim Dental clinic, New York city; Dr. William H. G. Logan, dean of Loyola universtiy's Chicago College of Dentai Surgery; Dr. Edward J. Ryan, chairman of the dental advisory committee, Chicago Relief administration, and Dr. Walter C. McBride, director of the children's department, University of Detroit Dental school. President Frank X. Woodworth, DDS '19, tops a huge staff of associates working to make the meeting the biggest and best ever. Success is indicated by the record number of reservations already received. A.B.A. Approval Comes Interne Plan Changed Approval by the American Medical association is to a medical school what approval Long recognized as one of the country's most progressive teaching hospitals, the Buffalo City hospital, in conjunction with the Medical school, has taken another step which has received the approbation of the American Medical association's council on medical education and hospitals. A new program, mapped by Hospital Superintendent Walter S. Goodale, MD '03, and Dean Edward W. Koch, and effective this July, aims at an uplifting of the entire student medical staff at the hospital through an increase in scholastic standards and the granting of new recognition of post graduate work performed. It provides interne certificates for candidates who have served 12 months or more on a rotating service; residency certificates for candidates who have served three years in a special department, and master of science in medicine degrees for those who have served four years or more in pursuit of a specified major study. For the last eight years a three-year plan of house medical staff instruction has been in operation. Present personnel will proceed under that arrangement, but it is contemplated that by 1929 the new system will be completely in effect. Said Alumnus Goodale in announcing the plan: "We hold that a hospital set up and operated on a sound educational basis is more apt to attract high class candidates for staff appointments, all of which is bound to mean better service for the patient." day. Class reunions, exhibits, a dinner dance, luncheons and other entertainment features are scheduled, in addition to by the American Bar association is to a school of law. Long coveted by the university for its Law school was this final stamp of endorsement, which had been qualified for in every way but one: employment of sufficient fulltime faculty members. One of the first moves made following appointment of Francis M. Shea as dean of the school last year was a re-organization to correct this technical defect. Result: announcement by the American Bar association a fortnight ago that Buffalo had been placed on the approved list. The new approval is provisional, in accordance with the association's practice. Final approval is reserved in all cases until an inspection to determine that association standards are being maintained. This inspection must be made within a two-year period. All University of Buffalo professional schools now possess highest ranking in their fields. Page Mark Twain Last month's Bulletin carried announcement of the death of Robert J. Maichle, MD '08, of Dansville, following notice by the United States Post Office. Word has since been received that Dr. Maichle is very much alive. �UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 2 (Note: Some matters previously reported in the Bulletin are omitted from this extract.) To the Council of the University of Buffalo: I have the honor to submit the report of the chancellor for the academic year 1935-36. Enrollment and University Income The total enrollment for the year under review was 4425. the largest in the university's history. The increase throughout the later years of the depression period has been brought about by increases in the Evening session and in the Summer session, chiefly the former. The Evening session again registered a gain of over 10 per cent, the Summer session, in which a smaller number of students is involved, a gain of 17 per cent. It is important to remember that the fee income per student is much smaller in these two divisions than in the regular sessions. Consequently, a 7 per cent gain in the total enrollment of the university, represented entirely by registrants in the Evening and Summer sessions, adds only a relatively small amount to the university's income. The income received from tuition fees during the year under review was only $12,682.69 greater than in the preceding year. It did not equal the fee income of the years 1931-32 and 1932-33. The Report of the Treasurer published herewith shows that the university finished the fiscal year 1935-36 with a surplus of $16,713.39 in the general operating account. This is smaller by nearly $10,000 than the surplus of the preceding year. Moreover, the council was obliged to draw on approximately $12,000 of it at once in order to balance the budget for the year 1936-37. The implications of the facts just cited are clear. The university has two principal sources of income, fees paid by students and income from endowment. Approximately four-fifths of the university's income is received from fees. Unless there are larger additions to the endowment funds or unless enrollment in the regular sessions increases substantially, expensive new projects or costly improvements of the university's present educational program are out of the question. Administrative Changes This university has a peculiar administrative tradition, which is still strong. To a greater extent than any other institution that 1 know of this has been a deans' university. Until very recently the office of chancellor was largely honorary. For the first three-quarters of a century of the university's life the educational leaders were the deans. To them properly belongs a major share of the credit for the reputation their respective schools have gained among the institutions of the land. The deans of two of the oldest professional schools, the Schools of Pharmacy and of Law, retired from their administrative posts at the close of the year under review. The State of the University Condensed from the Chancellor's Report Dr. Willis G. Gregory has been associated with the School of Pharmacy from its establishment 50 years ago. For 46 years he directed it as dean. The School of Pharmacy is essentially his creation. It is everywhere recognized as such. Dr. Carlos C. Alden came to the School of Law as its dean 13 years after its incorporation in the university. He directed it for 32 years. The Law school is the visible embodiment of his rare ability and his high concept of training for one of the most exacting of the learned professions. The university is especially fortunate in the fact that both Dr. Gregory and Dr. Alden. although relinquishing their deanships, will continue to serve their respective schools as professors. By election of the alumni in June, 1936 Dr. Gregory, himself a graduate of the Medical school in the class of 1882, also becomes a member of the Council of the University. In the spring of 1936 it was felt that the time had come to unify still further the administration of medical, dental and nursing instruction. The deanships of the Schools of Medicine and Dentistry were combined; and a new Division of Nursing was set up as a part of the Medical school. The determination to select a single head for the Schools of Medicine and Dentistry was in line with the developments in dental education brought about here under the direction of the late Dean Daniel H. Squire. His plan for the reform of dental education sought to establish a more intimate relationship between dentistry and medi- With the passage of the years the community of work and interest between the two schools and their student bodies has become more pronounced. Their administrative unificationwas the natural next step. Indeed, it was on the recommendation of the faculty of the Dental school that the council voted to put the two schools under the administrative direction of a single dean. As chief assistant to the dean, charged with the direction of the daily routine of the Dental school, the council appointed Dr. Russell W. Groh, professor of operative dentistry, to the newly created position of associate dean of the School of cine. Dentistry. Central University Services Bureau of Personnel Research The Bureau of Personnel Research is both a service and a research agency. The testing program which it administers is both extensive and discriminating. Few colleges have as accurate and comprehensive information with regard to the quality, the aptitudes and the achievements of their student bodies. Moreover, through frequent publication of the results of its studies, the bureau has stimulated similar studies elsewhere. The record of the bureau in placing graduates in positions appropriate to their desires and capacities has been exceptionally successful. Before the end of the summer of 1936 the bureau was able to report that most of the graduates of this year were satisfactorily employed or had definite openings. Firms have seemed eager that the bureau should recommend applicants for existing vacancies. The second and major responsibility of the bureau is research in the personnel held. Most important of the current investigations with which the bureau is associated is the study of articulation of high school and college which has been supported by a five-year grant from the General Education board. The purpose was to identify while they were still in high school students of extraordinary ability who planned later to attend the university, to give them special opportunities to work in the fields of their interest, and to enable them to finish school and college in less than the normal number of years, if they so desired. The university furnished guidance and testing service for these special groups of students in the high schools and prepared for their use syllabi covering the content of college courses which they sought to anticipate. It devised anticipatory examinations covering the work of certain courses normally studied in the first year of college which are taken by the more brilliant students before they enter college. If a student succeeds in passing an anticipatory examination he is given credit for the course on the college level. This undertaking furnishes an exceedingly useful guide for the further development of the university's own relations with superior high school and college students, and cannot fail to be suggestive to other institutions. In addition to the published results of the studies, there is the experiment itself; an experiment which has evidently proved of great profit to scores of brilliant young people who have availed themselves of the opportunities for directed individual study which the university has been able to offer them. Judged by all the measures we have been able to apply, the experiment has been a success. Although the General Education board's generous grant has now expired the university proposes to continue, on a much reduced scale, to furnish the advisory service to high school teachers and superior high school students. Bureau of Business and Social Research During the year the Bureau of Business and Social Research has continued the regular publication of the Statistical Survey, supplying statistical measures of the business activity of the Buffalo district. AH important indices developed by the bureau �ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN have been continued and a few new ones added. The value of this service is attested by frequent quotations in the financial columns of the daily press, by unsolicited letters from users of the service, and by a gain of 18 per cent in the number of subscribers to the bureau's publications. In addition to the regular issues of the Survey eight special studies were published during the year. The bureau's appropriations which were drastically reduced several years ago, have not been restored. Except for student help furnished by the NYA it would have been impossible for the bureau to produce the volume of material with which it now stands credited. Needs of the University The greatest need of the university is for additions to its general endowment funds. To be most useful, gifts for this purpose should be either unrestricted or should take the form of special endowments for professorial chairs. The balanced budgets of the last four years were secured by drastic reductions of the salaries of the teaching and clerical staffs. The scale of salaries for both types of positions was always too low. The cuts have lowered it to a point where the university is constantly in danger of losing its most valuable people and of being unable to replace them. It is doubtful whether any probable increase in fee income would put the university in a position to make full restoration, since overhead expenses have increased with the recent additions to the university's plant. An addition of at least $2,000,000 to its unrestricted endowment, or to the endowment of professorships, is needed now. Additional scholarship and fellowship funds are needed. The present scholarship funds are very limited. During the recent period of economic distress they have proved to be entirely inadequate for an institution of this size. The admitting officers have contact each year with scores of brilliant young people eager to attend the university who must finally abandon the hope of doing so because they have not sufficient money to pay its charges. Other institutions which appeal to students in this region are better provided with funds for student aid. Frequently students who prefer to come to the University of Buffalo and whose educational purposes would be best served by attendance at this institution must ultimately decide to accept a scholarship elsewhere. The university has need of several additional buildings. First of all it needs a physical education building for men and women. In preceding reports I have emphasized the total inadequacy of existing facilities for physical education and athletics. The appropriate development of these essential phases of education will remain impossible until provision is made to house them properly. A large building near the center of the business section of the city, preferably on the site of Townsend hall, has been needed for some time to house the Evening session and the Law school. The continued growth 3 of the Evening session renders this need every year more manifest. The Law school is now somewhat smaller than it was several years ago. Its present building just barely accommodates it. If the enrollment in this division should increase again the Law school building would immediately be intolerably congested. The university needs dormitories for men and women. Already it enrolls a considerable body of students who come from a distance and must find living quarters with the university's assistance. It is reasonable to expect that many more students from a distance will be attracted to its several schools—if the university has the facilities for housing them. In the absence of such facilities here most of these students are likely to go elsewhere. Progress of the Divisions College of Arts and Sciences No essential changes in the educational program of the college have been made during the year under review. An experience of nearly five years with the program now enables the officers of the college to note certain tendencies and to measure significant results. There has been a steady improvement in the quality of the student population. Holders of state scholarships increase in numbers each year. The percentage of freshmen graduating in the upper two-fifths of their respective high school classes increases. It becomes necessary to drop fewer students for poor scholarship at the end of each semester. Students apparently respond to the opportunities for free choice and the absence of coercive academic regulations. They work harder; and they like it better. One danger inherent in the tutorial plan is that of over-specialization. During the year under review a study has been made to estimate the degree of specialization. The study shows that the anticipated danger has to some extent been realized. The college is about to take steps to offset that tendency. An essential part of the instructional plan of the college is the final comprehensive examination. With the assistance of the Bureau of Personnel Research steadyprogress is being made in improving the comprehensive examinations in all departments. During the year under review outside examiners drawn from other institutions assisted the members of our own faculty in the conduct of these examinations. Some 8 per cent of the senior class who failed to pass the examination were not recommended for their degrees. Library Science In my last report I ventured some stricon the new requirements which the State Education department had set up for school librarians. By prescribing specific technical subjects in the field of education as well as in library science these requirements tend to reduce the amount of general education which candidates for school librarianships can secure. The university finds itself in total disagreement with the tures philosophy of the department which Hes behind these new prescriptions. The department's position is that techniques are more important elements in the preparation of the practitioner than general scholarship; that particular technical courses must be required even at the expense of breadth and depth of general education. The university takes the opposite position. It holds that extensive general education and genuine scholarship are the> most important possessions of teachers or librarians and that acquisition of specific techniques is of secondary importance. The conflict of these points of view is irreconcilable. The university does not expect to convert the agencies of the department which regulate the preparation of teachers and librarians. But it expects to keep on protesting against decisions of the department which it considers unwise and educationally unsound. The immediate application of these statements to the case in hand is this. Shall the university lengthen its course so that there may be included in it general education and also the recently prescribed technical subjects ? Or shall we reduce the cultural content of our curriculum in order that our graduates may present themselves for certification in the same length of time as those who get their preparation elsewhere? The director of the library science course favors the lengthening of that course, and I endorse his position. Schools of Medicine and Dentistry The administrative reorganization of the Schools of Medicine and Dentistry and the establishment of a new Division of Nursing have been described earlier in this report. A single brief comment may be added. During the year under review the principal activity first of the advisory committee and then of the new-Iy constituted faculty has been the revision and the improvement of the curriculum. The evidence is clear that by entering the field of nursir g education the university has contributed greatly to the elevation of standards and to the broadening of opportunities in this reg'en. For the third year the committee on examinations prepared and administered a comprehensive examination to the senior medical students at the end of their course. The chairman of the committee secured the of the authorities of Washington consent university, Western Reserve university and the University of Toronto to administer to their senior students the section of the examination devoted to surgery. The departments in all three of these institutions were enthusiastic in their estimates of the test and of its accuracy as a device for measuring student accomplishment. The research publications of members of the staff of the School of Medicine during the year under review, some 70 in number, represent a formidable contribution to the volume of medical literature. Nevertheless, one of the unfortunate features of the necessary curtailment of appropriations was the reduction of sums allocated to research �UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 4 throughout the university. Some of the university's most competent investigators have been greatly handicapped by lack of funds. It is to be hoped that this situation may be remedied in the near future. In response to numerous requests the School of Dentistry inaugurated this year on a tentative basis a program of posegraduate instruction. The beginning was made in a three-day course in oral surgery, in the conduct of which the school made use of the clinical facilities of the Buffalo City hospital. The class was limited to 15 members and applications were received in excess of this number. The results were so satisfactory that it is planned next year to offer a more extensive program of courses. The Lay Clinic for Orthodontia, made possible by the bequest of the late Dr. Victor Lay, was for the first time put into complete operation as a teaching unit. Under the direction of Dr. Clifford G. Glaser a number of patients are now being cared for and senior dental students are given ample opportunity to observe the correction of the various types of dental malforma- tions. During the past year a reorganization of the dental teaching program at the Buffalo Gty hospital was effected which allows an extension of the scope of the interneship for members of the senior class. Four senior dental students are now assigned to hospital the every two weeks for the interneships during the first and last quarters of the senior year. Each student thus has the benefit of four weeks of intensive hospital training. School of Pharmacy On April 22 and 23, 1936, the 50th anniversary of the founding of the School of Pharmacy was celebrated. The school kept open house and was visited during the two days by approximately 1500 interested persons. The alumni of the school presented to the university a portrait of Dean Gregory. The dean on this occasion gave to the university his remarkable collection of old mortars. The anniversary dinner, which was attended by representatives of other schools of pharmacy and of the State Education department as well as by a large body of alumni, gave opportunity for a public demonstration of appreciation of Dean Gregory's noteworthy contributions to pharmaceutical education and to the development of the university. The enrollment of the school, which had been declining for three years, increased by more than 20 per cent. School of Law For several years the members of the faculty of the Law school have felt that it was imperative that the full time staff of the school be increased. Up to the year under review, the council could not see its way to the appropriation of the necessary sums. The budget for the year 1936-37, however, carries provision for the addition of three full time persons to the teaching staff and for a full time librarian. Appointments have been made to fill the newly created positions. The council also authorized the reconstruction of the ground floor of the Law school building to provide private offices for all the additional full time members of the faculty, and the reconditioning and expansion of the library which occupies the third floor of the building. School of Business Administration The year under review saw the first operation of the new program of education in which 21 business enterprises of this region co-operated, and which was further aided by 15 business and industrial leaders who served either as associate members of the faculty or as special lecturers. The program is designed to give students the stimulus of frequent contact with both local and national leaders in the business field and to offer to students of high standing an opportunity to participate at least once a week in the actual operations of ane of the co-operating companies. The majority of seniors in this group of students were engaged immediately upon graduation by the co-operating enterprises in which they had done their observation work. School of Education The vigorous program of the School of Education, inaugurated six years ago, has already had significant results. The cardinal principle of this program has been insistence upon high quality. The school has religiously refrained from entering into competition with other institutions and from duplicating unnecessarily courses offered elsewhere. It has seen its opportunity in the exploration of fields previously unoccupied, in the provision of graduate work of high standard, and in such co-operation with other educational agencies as might enrich to the fullest extent the courses for the preparation of teachers. There is strong prospect of an increasing demand for work of the kind already offered by the school and also for other types of courses. Recent regulations of the state, requiring considerable periods of inservice study as prerequisites for the decennial renewal of teachers' certificates, will inevitably bring to the university large numbers of teachers of this region. Indeed already a larger variety of courses is demanded than the faculty of the school can offer. School of Social Work In June, 1935, the curriculum of social work which had been attached to the College of Arts and Sciences was given the status of a separate division with the designation, School of Social Work. The new school has now completed its first year of independent existence. The separation was undoubtedly advantageous. It enhanced the prestige of the social work program botli in the community and in the profession at large. During a large part of the year the faculty has been engaged in formulating and launching a new curriculum. Three objects have been sought in the revision. The undergraduate social science prerequisite in the old curriculum favored unduly the students who came up through the University of Buffalo. It placed a con- siderable handicap on students entering from other colleges. The new curriculum is more flexible in this respect. In the second place the new curriculum aims to adjust the training program to the requirements of public welfare agencies. Agencies devoted to social security and public assistance are likely to need a much larger trained personnel than is now available. The new curriculum recognizes this need for changed emphasis in the training program. In the third place the new curriculum offers a second postgraduate year. The certificate in social work is awarded after one year of postgraduate study. The second year of postgraduate work leads to the degree of master of social service. The school has benefited greatly by the assistance of a board of consulting associates, composed of persons active in welfare and charitable undertakings, but not members of the faculty, who have consented to serve with several of the school's most important standing committees. Contrary to expectation the enrollment of the school increased. In the combined full and part time categories it registered 161 students. This figure does not include the 61 students sent to the school on fellowships provided by the State TERA. These students have been drawn from nearly every county in the state. The Evening Session Only once in its history has the Evening session suffered a decline in enrollment—in the year 1932-33. The increase this year was nearly 8 per cent. The Evening session has become an enormous enterprise. But more significant than its size or than its invincible tendency to grow is the gradual crystallization of its character. It has become perfectly patent that the community looks to the university to provide for persons employed during the day time courses that are for the most part fully equivalent to, if not exactly identical with, those that it offers to its regular day students. More and more the clientele of the Evening session is made up of persons who have had a full high school training or have gone part way through college or have graduated from college. Approximately 95 per cent of last year's enrollment fell in these three categories. Twenty-seven per cent were college graduates. And in the main these persons desire university credit. Each year a larger number of them are candidates for degrees.. The Evening session, while recognizing this trend in its patronage, has been active, nevertheless, in providing other types of educational offerings. Summer Session The Summer session of 1936 offered a wider range of subjects than that of the preceding year and enrolled a larger number of students, a total of 590. The tendency, noted in my previous reports, for the Summer session to attract a constantly larger number of graduate students continued. Graduated students constituted 4?

The annual report of the comptroller for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1936 is presented herewith. The balance sheet, Exhibit "A", shows endowment assets of $5,349,712.93; plant assets of $6,533,745.8*; and operating assets of $50,545.02. On June 30, 1936, the balance in the endowment fund account was $5,323,270.01, as shown in Exhibit "B" presented herewith. On June 30, 1935 this balance was $5,279,004.47. The net increase for the year, therefore, in the endowment fund account was The total operating income for the year was $942,089-78; the total operating disbursements were $925,376.39 as shown below. The year, therefore, closed with a credit balance of $16,713.39 which is 1.77 per cent of the total income for the year. From this surplus the sum of $12,951.19 was appropriated by the committee on general administration to balance the budget for the fiscal year 1936-37. The following is a comparative table of the operating account of the university for the fiscal years 1933-34, 1934-35 and 1935-36: Income 1933-1934 1934-1935 1935-1936 Fees Received from Students $734,616.70 $726,383.26 $739,065.95 Income from Endowment 162,762.92 169,044.34 171,865.42 13,322.89 Dental Infirmary (Net) 15,054.06 14,747.48 Appropriation from 1933-34 Surplus (Medical School) 10,000.00 9,400.00 Gifts Received to Apply on Salaries Rental Property Income 1,430.00 1,182.00 1,222.50 Miscellaneous 4,140.31 7,781.80 7,005.52 $44,265.54. Of the total of $5,428,890.70 subscribed in the 1929 EndowFund campaign, there has been received to June 30, 1936 the sum of $3,015,203.15. Included in the total subscription of $5,428,890.70 reported by the campaign committee in 1929, was a remainder interest in a trust fund of $500,000 and also a gift of stock which at the time had a market value of approximately $1,000,000. The corpus of the above trust, namely $500,000, is in the hands of the bank trustee and will pass to the university upon the termination of the trust. This trust estate is not included in the above $3,015,203.15. The stock above referred to has been delivered to the university. It is included at its present market value. The endowment fund account is made up of $1,911,805.70 of general purpose funds, and $3,411,464.31 of special purpose funds as shown in Exhibit "B". The value of the plant assets on June 30, 1935 was $6,185,-728.08. The value of the plant assets on June 30, 1936 was $6,515,918.16. The increase during the year covered by this report was $330,190.08. Of this amount, $185,476.50 was added to the value of the contents of Lockwood Memorial library to cover gifts of rare books and drawings, coins and medals received during the year under review from Mr. Thomas B.

Of the total expenses for the year 1935-36. 54.8 per cent was for salaries of instruction; 61.9 per cent was for salaries of instruction, supplies used in instruction and operation and maintenance of libraries. Government bonds purchased by the university yielded an average income of 5.04 per cent on the actual investment; railroad bonds 4.37 per cent; public utility bonds 5.38 per cent; industrial bonds 5.50 per cent; miscellaneous bonds, all gifts, 1.66 per cent: stocks 3.88 per cent: real estate mortgages and mortgage certificates 1.35 per cent. Funds available for reinvestment during the year covered by this report were placed largely in common stocks of large and successful enterprises. The liquidating, or market value, of the stocks and bonds in the university portfolio, which had been purchased by the university, and excluding gifts, is in excess of their book value, or cost. Gifts and bequests received during the year which ended June 30. 1936 include the following: Addition to Seymour H. Knox foundation. $34,200; Estate of Edmond D. McCarthy, $8500; Mr. and Mrs. George F. Rand. $5000; Mrs. James H. McNulty. $4000; Estate of John T. Dillon, $3000; Estate of Richard L. Ball. S3000; Estate of William A.

Houpt, $1000 for the establishment of the "George Knight Houpt Prize"; and Estate of Wilbur E. Houpt. SlOOO for the establishment of the "Lucia Maria Houpt Prize". At the close of the year the university's paramount need is an additional million dollars of endowment to yield free income to preserve intact the university's excellent teaching staffs and to further improve and develop them. Second only to this need is the need of adequate facilities on the campus for physical training and the need of adequate quarters on Niagara square for the Evening session and the School of Law.

Students were drawn from all over the state of New York, fiom eight other states and the District of Columbia, and from Canada. These facts have a three-fold significance. First of all it is clear that the Summer session has become an indispensable part of the university's instructional apparatus. It is not any longer just a useful sideline; it is an integral part of the university's program of teaching. Secondly, the Summer session is now prevailingly in spirit and purpose a graduate school. In the third place the Summer session draws its studenrs from a wider geographical area than does any other administrative unit of the university, and from a larger number of other institutions. It becomes the best means, therefore, for spreading information concerning the university's of- ferings. In the reports of the last four years I have called attention to the steady growth of graduate work. The increase, undoubtedly, reflects a growing awareness of the strength of the university's departments and confidence in its standards. The total number of candidates for graduate degrees in the year under review was 294. The number, it will be observed, is larger than the enrollment of several of the older schools of the university.

It may be stated thus. Graduate degrees should be conferred only on those who have demonstrated their capacity for creative intellectual work, and the demonstration must be plain for all to see and to judge. The university is not interested in merely building up a body of students who may be loosely classified as graduate students; it is interested in the phenomenon of genuine scholarship and in the stimulation of professional initiative. It is not disturbed by the fact that its advanced degrees are more difficult to secure than those of most other institutions; it intends them to be so. It is unwilling to accept candidates for advanced degrees in any department which is not equipped to offer them ample facilities for their independent work and the individual attention of competent instructors. Respectfully submitted, Samuel P. Capen. Branch Clubs Planned Preliminary plans for founding of three new alumni branch clubs were discussed at conferences in Central New York last month. In Utica, Alumni Secretary William G. Cook, BS, '27, met with a dozen graduates who elected Edward B. Williams. DDS '15 chairman, and decided to call a general meeting in February.

Starstwinkle out of a sky of midnight blue. Couples sway in gentle rhythm. The music ends and there is a ripple of applause. Then a shaft of white light picks out the master of ceremonies. "Ladies and gentlemen ..." The first annual Folies d"Alumni is under way. Departing radically from its customary banquet and speaking program,the General AJumni association will celebrate its 22nd birthday with a campus cabaret on University day, Feb. 22. Into the mails a fortnight ago went more than 4300 slingers— one for everyalumnus in Buffalo—announcing that Norton hall will be turned into a night club for one evening. There will be dancing, supper and a gala floor show. Committeesare sparing neither effort nor expense to give it every aspect of swank and sophistication. Generalchairman of the Folies d'Alumni is Robert I. MHlonzi, BA '32, LLB P35,who ran two memorable Junior Proms as an undergraduate, and carries in his dossier additional experience gained as president and business managerof Blue Masquers, chairman of the student convocation corncommittee,managerof varsity football and president of Norton union. Chairmanof music and entertainment is Lloyd A. Miller, BS (Bus) '32. Headliners of the floor show are Janie Lyman and Bud Driscoll, artful young couple whose dancing has won plaudits m New York; who have performed in Buffalo's Statler hotel, and who have played five return engagements at the Hollywood, one of the Buffalo area's more popular rendezvous. Another couple on the five-actprogram is a two-piano team— Vie Dana and Harinvariold Feldman,whose purple passages ably evoke demands for more and more. Music for dancing will be provided by Cy Wills and His Collegians. To effect the transformationfrom club house to night club, Marion A. Shanley, BA '23 and her decoration committee have been working diligently with Norton hall authorities, while Mrs. Winifred Rowley Hill, BA '24, promises a supper menu which will appeal to the most jaded taste. Arthur I. Goldberg, BA '31, heads the committee on printing and publicity, which already has seen to it that every alumnus in Buffalo and vicinity knows about one of the gayest affairs in GAA history. Biggest problem for ChesterG. Schoenborn, BS (Bus) '33, (reservations) and John S. Allan, BA '26, LLB '30 (tickets) is how to prevent standing-room-only-complications. Because the Folies d'AJumni can accomodate only a few more than 100 couples, tickets have been apportioned amongthe divisions according to their size, and advance reservations are being insisted upon. When 100 $3 tickets have been disposed of, the sale will cease. To make for co-ordination and to prevent duplication, reservations should be placed through the Alumni office in Norton hall. The telephone number is University 9300. Norton hall now has generous parking facilities, which, like its checkroom service, are free.

Onewould think that semi-curricular groups, such as the Biology, French,and Mathematics clubs would appear near the top. The data presented constitute a fair enough sampling to allow some weight to be placed on the results obtained here,and it must be admitted that the low ranks of these activities (usually sixth or below) surprised the writer. "The authors of studies presented during the last few years,who show athletes as the recipients of mediocre ratings in scholarship and attribute the low marks to participation in athletics, might well put less weight on the marks and consider the ability of the athletic group," according to Dr. Smith."The ability of the athletes places them next to the foot in the high-school ranking and barely above the center in the university ranking."

There are the rebellious child, the frightened woman, the unco-operative man. Like the practice of dentistry, the 37th annual meeting of the Dental Alumni association, held last month in Buffalo's Hotel Statler, was a study in personalities. Of the 579 present at the three-day session, some were important, some less so, all were interested and impressed with one of the organization's most successful enterprises. Personality No. 1 was Alfred E. Mim- (1910) president of the association,onethe Buffalo auxiliary chapAILINGER, '25 Sigma Delta ter. Delta fraternity, onetime (1920) president of the Eighth District Dental society, longtime consultant on the Dental school faculty, and fatherof Edward P. Mimmack,'21 and Dorothy Mimmack Gibson, '21. Modern, vigorous, loved by his colleagues, to him the entire meeting was dedicated. Personality No. 2 was Frank X. Woodworth, '19, who as president of the association was responsible for the efficiency with which large and small details of the ambitious program were carried out. Personality No. 3 was James J. Ailinger, '25, onetime captain of varsity football and basketball,who in three years rose through the chairs of the association to become its president for 1937-38. On him will rest the burden of next year's meeting. His board of officersconsists of SamuelA. Gibson, '21, vice president; Allison S. Roberts, '19, secretary and Wesley M. Backus,'04, who was re-elected to his 36th term as master of treasurer. Personalities No. 4 through 9 were the guest speakers from out of town, including five dental specialists and Dentist John Bain (Jock) Sutherland,coach of the Pitt Panthers whose nationally publicized difficulties with the Pittsburgh athletic authorities broke justbeforethe meeting. Then there were the less spectacular personalities —facultymen in charge of clinics; chairmen of reunions for the "five-year" classes from 1897 down; university officials who welcomed and mingled with the visitors; individuals who put on a dentists' Another Foster Gift April 17 Is Date Set On Oct. 27, 1922, was opened Foster hall, first permanent building on the university campus, the gift of Orrin E. Foster (Foster-Milburn Co., manufacturing chemists) and his family. Mr. Foster has since died,but his widow has again shown her friendship for the university by presentation of a gift to establish and endow a permanent lecture foundation in chemistry and allied sciences. To be known as the Orrin E. Foster Lecture fund, it was pledged by Mrs. Foster in the 1929 Endowment ompaign. Sinceincome from the gift is now available, plans have been completed to inaugurate the foundationat once with a series of public lectures beginning this month. First four lectures to be given at 8:30 P. M. in Norton hall, follow: March' 18, Dr. Karl K. Darrow of the Bell Telephone laboratories,New York city. "Atoms and Elements"; March 23, Dr. Marston T. Bogert, professor of chemistry, Columbia university, "Around the World in Search of Perfumes";April 6, Dr. Frank C. Whitmore, dean of physical sciences.

Gortner, chief of the division of agricultural biochemistry. University of Minnesota,"Recent Advances in Chemistry in Relation to Agriculture." Speakers each year will be chosen by a Foster lecture committee headed by Dr. GrovesH. Cartledge, head of the university's chemistry department. the Medical Alumni association will hold their 62nd annual meeting and third annual Spring clinical day on Saturday, April 17, in Buffalo's Hotel Statler.

Party Is Praised It was a some said. gay party—one of the gayest, Possibility that the first and purely experimental Folies d'Alumni may become a regular University day institution is being voiced by General Alumni association officials as a result of the favorablecomments of the 200-odd guests at last month's 22nd anniversary celebration. Norton hall's lofty, dignified ballroom was scarcely recognizable when the decorations committee got through with it. At mid-height a deep blue cellophane sky stretched from wall to wall. Big clusters of variegated balloons dangled tantalizingly. White tablecloths gleamed in the candlelight, while the orchestra,onstage, basked in a lavender glow. Informal, intimate, generally reminiscent of an exclusive night club, the Folies d'Alumni included a chicken a la king supper and a five-actfloor show. There was even a "wine list" bearing the names of various soft-drinks. Though only 100 couples could be accommodated, no little effort was necessary.

Most of those in hope so. �ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN 3 Sport Cycle Swings to Football Again FOOTBALL Old Man Sunneared his vernal equinox, Head Football CoachJim Peelle this month vas unpacking moleskins,buying helmets,devising new plays in anticipation of that big seasonal event—spring practice. From now until just beforefinal examinations, the varsitymen, augmented by last season's freshmansquad, will go through conditioning exercises,training in fundamentals, and intensive study of knotty maneuvers of the modified Notre Dame type. Climax will be a full-length game between two picked teams on Moving Up day, May 1. Well aware of the dangers of pre-season prediction, Skipper Peelle's forecastfor next Fall is a conservative one. "I believe we'll do as well as last year," is his sole comment. Last year the Bulls won five games out of eight starts, to the delight of most Blue and White fans who had not seen such a story in years. Two newcomers are on the schedule. Alleghenycollege of Pennsylvania andKent State college of Ohio fill gaps left by Hiram and Clarkson. All the rest of last year's rivals will play return engagements.

Definite, however,was the appointment of Wallace A. VanLier as tennis coach,to succeed Dr. Riegel, who is professor of insurance and director of the university's Bureau of Business and SocialResearch. VanLier, a graduate of the University of Rochester in 1925, came to Buffalo last Fall as professor of music and director of the Glee clubs. His knowledge of sharps and flats is matched by his skill at serves, volleys and backhands. This he has proved by winning the championship of the exclusive Lake Placid club and numerous trophies in New York state and California tournaments. He already has an unofficialranking among the first ten stars in the Buffalo area. Dr. Riegel resigned because of the press of his bureau's work, but he will continue as an advisor to Coach VanLier. Robert WRESTLING Buffalo athletic authorities do not make a differentiation between "major" and "minor" sports. What are minor sports at other institutions are spoken of here simply as "sports other than football and basketball." Of these,wrestling has caught the popular fancy in recent years, though the last two seasons have not seen even average results. The current schedule ended with two wins out of six tries. FENCING Quite a different story can be told about fencing.

Needed—More Pharmics Contrary to the general impression, pharis not a crowded profession—at least macy it is not crowded in Western New York, according to Dean A. Bertram Lemon, PhG '13 of the Schoolof Pharmacy. "As far as we know, all the members of our last year's class in pharmacy are now gainfully employed," Dean Lemon says. ■'And this condition is nothing new to us, because even in the worst years of the depression over 90 per cent of our graduate pharmacists found employment within three months' time after graduation. "At present I am unable to recommend enough competent licensed pharmacists to meet the demand. During the last several weeks,for example, I have had an average of two requests a week for competent pharmacists. But I had nobody I could recom- mend. "In the 20 counties west of Onondaga which we consider our territory, there are approximately 1000 drug stores. In the state of New York there are 14,300 pharmacists and 7100 pharmacies, which would make it appear that there is an average of two pharmacists to each pharmacy. Hence, in this Western New York territory, there should be about 2000 pharmacists county, employed. ■'The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy in a recent statistical report on conditions throughout the country states that it appears to be safe (by safe we mean that we would not be overcrowding the field) if from 50 to 60 new pharmacists were registered annually per thousand stores. "In one of the conservative states of the Union, namely New Jersey, they place the figure at 35 per thousand stores. "During the last four years an average of 30 pharmacists have been graduated from the University of Buffalo. Plainly this is not enough to serve the public."

Actually Buffalo's Evening session has outlived that designation. Many of its courses are given in the daytime. Its scholastic program is co-ordinated, some alumni are Evening session products, and a surprisingly large proportion of its students are now working for graduate degrees. To clarify its status and at the same time honor Buffalo's first chancellor,the name of this thriving division (present en- rollment 2700) was changed this month to Millard Fillmore college. "The term 'Evening session' is no longer descriptive of the work now being done by its students" said ChancellorSamuel P. Capen in announcing the change. "It is only right that a division which has risen to the rank of a college in fact should be recognized as a college in name. Once the new name is established,it will no longer be necessary, for example, for anyone to explain that the classes at Townsend hall really constitute the downtown college of the university." The new name was suggested by- Evening SessionDean Lewis A. Froman,who A New Link in Dance of Death History The Dance of Death is familiar to students of art and literature as a macabre motif which found its full expression during the Middle Ages. Allegorical in its treatment, it usually depicted death in the form of a skeleton leading good and bad folk to the grave. An interesting link in the historical development of this motif has just been published by Dr. Leonard P. Kurtz, assistant professor of Romance languages. It is a hitherto unpublished French manuscript written about 1470, which he edited for the Institute of French Studies. The work is a poem in medieval French, entitled he Mors de la Pome (The Bite of the Apple) describing the fall of man in the Garden of Eden and the subsequent spread of death throughout the world. By modern standards the 30 illustrative miniatures are crude, but they are apt, frank, replete with story-telling power. One of the most horrendous depicts a scene in hell, where demons are throwing souls into a furnace, which two unpleasant individuals keep hot by gleeful attention to the bellows (see cut). In an earlier volume, The Dance of Death and the Macabre Spirit in European Dr. Literature, Curtzgave a thordescription ug h o the formal proession i n which )c;ith appears in a pecially c HELL Eve's appetite caused things for devils' hands to do staged or dance. he Bite of the pple, he points ut, is more rea istic Each viem is taken by )eath in the comany of his assoiates in life. ften Death trikes at an inn, a house,or out< oors, but in all ases, when the mcividual is engaged his daily puruits. vent will now be known as dean of Millard Fillmore college. Since its founding in 1923, one year after Dr. Capen assumed his post as head of the university, Millard Fillmore college has become a vital part of the city's life. More than 16,000 students have been enrolled in its classes ,and today its registration figure is larger than that of the other 12 divisions of the university combined. Last fall, in anticipation of the change of status, Evening session work was reorganized under seven new divisions in (1) education,(2) social work, (3) business administration,(4) social science,(5) natural science and engineering, (6) English language and literature, journalism and bibliography and (7) foreign language. So far approximately 380 students have earned degrees, certificatesand diplomas throughEvening session work. Of the 405 persons who were graduated last year, 61 had completed over half their work in the downtown division. Home Concert Pleases That Wallace A. VanLier is not only a musician but a showman was clearly demonstrated at the 16th annual Home concert and dance of the combined musical clubs one night this month in Norton hall. Though he is an organist in a leading buffalo church,a performer on manyband and orchestra instruments,a teacher of music and music appreciation, he refused to be fettered by his familiarity with the old masters when he stepped into his role as director of the glee clubs. The townspeople and university folk who nearly jampacked the auditorium expected a collegiate program,and they got it. It was the first time in manya year that the university has had a band of its own, good enough to play in a concert. It was the first time in the memoryof many that the traditional dignity of a choral program was relieved by campus capers, as when the Men's octet donned black robes, sang a lugubriously distorted tale about Romeo and Juliet. It was the first time in history that the concert was followed by not one dance,but two, one held in a formal ballroom setting, the other in the swank cabaret atmosphere of the Club Norton. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Where Are They Now?

Though they embrace a wide rangeof subjects, provision has been made to include still others if there is sufficientdemand for them. Two of the new courses, "Play Production" and "Elementary Survey of Modern Physics," are being offered for the first time. Play production is a laboratory course with Drama CoachStanley D. Travis, in charge. It is especially designed to meet the needs of high school dramatic directors and English teachers, while the new physics course is for high school science teachers and laymen who wish to follow the experimental achievements of modern science and their bearing on civilization. Augmenting its staff with teachers from outside the walls of the university, the session this yearwill bring in SamuelEngle The Faculty on Review castle,Del., and William T. Hutchinson, professor of history at the L Tniversity of ARTS AND SCIENCES To Syracuse in mid-April went Dr. HELEN DWIGHT REID, associate professorof history and government, to address the International Relations club of Colgate and Syracuse universities, and thence to Philadelphia as the university's official delegate to the annual meeting of the American Academy of Political Science. Burr, superintendent of schools in New- Chicago, as newcomers. The Summer session stresses personal contact with instructors. Every effort is made to include all phases of campus life in its program. Thus all students are expected to profit from recreational and social activities,assembly programs,informal contact with their fellows in Norton union, as well as from classroom instruction. Coordinators of all these activities are the trained personnel workers who comprise the Committeeon Advisement. A new feature introduced by the 1936 session was organization of the Co-operative Youth groups. Youngsters of high school agewere offeredcampus facilities in return for assistance in demonstration classes and social and recreational activities. This year they will also contribute to development of a choral work programand to the laboratory course in play production. Alumni News Brevities '92 LLB—Fred M.

Crofts published a statement showing that all but 14 per cent of the money pledged to the university's 1929 Endowment fund had been paid in (Bulletin, March). . How do alumni compare with non-alumni in the fulfillment of their promises to endow their Alma Mater ? When the campaign ended in October, 1929, a total of $5,428,890.70 had been promised. Of that amount, the alumni had put themselves down for $284,849.01. This left $5,144,041.69 pledged by non-alumni friendsof the university. Today the payments by non-alumni stand at $4,49.6_868.69, or 87.4 per cent of their promised total. Alumni payments to date amount to $159,484.01, or 55.9 per cent of the total pledged by them. The record by schools and divisions shows that library science alumni have made the best record to date. They have paid 93-5 per cent of their pledges. Only one pledge is now outstanding. Its payment would make a 100 per cent record. Arts and sciences alumni are second best with 76.8 per cent paid. Analytical chemistry graduates are in third place with 66.9 per cent. Poorest record of payments is that of the pharmacy alumni who have reached but 45.2 per cent of their goal. Dentistry and law are both below the averagepercentage for the entire alumni group. It thus becomes clear that the non-alumni givers, who have paid all but 12 per cent of their pledges, have held up the total percentage for all pledgors to the 86 per cent figure reported by Mr. Crofts. The analysis of pledge payments follows: - Unpaid Pledged Division 460.00 S 30.00 Lib. Sc. S 9,409.50 1,695.00 96",305.00 Am An. Ch. Med. Educ. 501.00 419.00 Bus. Ad. Dent.

Such a one is the Pharmacy school Class of 1934, which last month staged its third annual reunion. Assembling in Buffalo's Riviera restaurant, members heard speeches, participated in an enthusiastic, evening-long round-table on drug store problems. President Francis P. Taylor of Niagara Falls, N.

Valentine, president of the University of Rochester, as the midyear convocation speaker. Another neighboring college president will receive his formal introduction to Buffalo's town and gown this coming June 9 ; when Dr. William Alfred Eddy, of Hobart and William Smith colleges, makes the Commencement address. Many are the ties which bind Hobart and Buffalo. More than one individual is an alumnus of both institutions. Several Buffalo facultymen have Hobart degrees. Chancellor Samuel P. Capen received an honorary LHD there in 1925. Athletic, forensic and other kinds of intercollegiate rivalry have been most cordial for many student generations, unmarred by such one-sided contests as that last season when the Statesmen handed the Bulls a 52-2 defeat on the home gridiron. So President Eddy, himself a Princetonian with honorary LLD's from St. Lawrence and Colgate, will find himself among friends when he rises to addrtss some 400 graduates in Elmwood Music hall. 400 Will Be Graduated in June 9 Ceremonial The 91st Commencement closes a year in which student spirit has run high. In matters curricular and extra-curricular there has been another of those periodic upsurges of enthusiasm. Typical was the activity of Senior week, which was an avowed success despite a rainy beginning. Monday was Rose day, when seniors in caps and gowns purveyed flowers to faculty and students until the campus bloomed in a pre-season pink. Tuesday was Senior Luncheon day, when the somberly clad upperdassmen foregathered to hear Alumni Secretary William G. Cook on alumni organization and the Senior Memorial fund. Enthusiastically they endorsed the plan as founded by the Class of 1936, and immediately set about canvassing their membership for pledges of $1 a year for five years following graduation. Wednesday—Senior Convocation day saw spokesmen for the Class of 1937 in furious debate with facultymen on the comparative merits of both groups. The student audience, by popular acclaim, awarded the decision to the student team. The day was otherwise eventful because of exciting, closely watched elections of underclass officers, Norton union leaders, and a May queen to preside on Moving-Up day. Thursday the sun showed itself for the first time all week, and the Ivy day ceremony went off without a hitch. Following the academic procession from Crosby hall to Edmund Hayes hall, the senior class presidents co-operated in planting the ivy; the silver spade was handed on to the junior class representative, the Ivy oration delivered, the administration s response made. Followed the annual faculty reception and tea for seniors. Friday was Acquaintance day. Seniors joined other students and the faculty in welcoming high school pupils invited for a tour of the university and survey of its offerings. In their honor the student body held its annual Acquaintance day dance that — evening. Saturday was Moving Up day, and its program was one of the fullest in years. The weatherman broke a precedent, too, wlien he ordered a w<±iw aaiu sunny day. From Buffalo's Lower Terrace on the stroke of 10 o'clock the parade moved up Main street past throngs of Saturday shoppers and on out to the campus. Lunch followed, then the moving up ceremonies with presentation of shingles, cups, trophies, letters and other awards. The afternoon developed into something approaching a three-ring circus, with a varsity tennis match (Rochester 7, Buffalo 1) a golf match (Rochester 3V2 Buffalo 2i/ 2) a full-length inter-school football game (Business Adders 19, Arts 0), a fashion show with 20 pretty co-eds as models, and a tea dance. That evening Bison Head fraternity sponsored the annual Moving-Up day dance. Still to be hurdled were final examinations, some written, some oral, some comprehensive, before 1500 freshmen, sophomores and juniors can really move up, while nearly half a hundred seniors prepare to move out and join 8500 other alumni. , WEATHERMAN'S WHIMSY For the first time in many years, good weather prevailed for Senior wee\ outdoor events.

Cokon of Buffalo can prove. On a piece of a bushel basket last month he wrote a draft for $5 in red ink, payable to Fred S. Hoffman, MD '94, as treasurer of the Aesculapian club. The check was promptly passed, promptly cashed, promptly reproduced in Buffalo newspapers. '98 LLB—Herbert A. Taylor of Cleveland, since 1931 head of the Erie railroad's legal department, was last month elected vice president and general counsel. '09 LLB—Announced last month was the appointment of Morey C. Bartholomew by the New York State Board of Regents to the board of visitors of the Buffalo State Teachers' college, to succeed his brother, the late A. Glenni Bartholomew, LLB "03. Appointee Bartholomew is president of the Erie County Bar association and a vice president of the New York State Bar association. '15 DDS—Edward B. Williams of Utica, has just been appointed dental consultant of the Marcy Stare hospital. He is also on the staff of the Faxton hospital and the Utica General "90 hospital. '22 BA, "24 MA—Dr. Anna M.

Schultz was hailed last month as one of a pair of Yale graduate students who have solved another baffling chemical mystery. They discovered that the small size of potassium nuclei is an illusion produced by their terrific whirling speed. This, they say, explains why radioactive potassium, with an unusually low atomic weight, has been able to resist disintegration throughout the world's eons. '35 EdM—Herbert C. Feldmann, physical instructor at Buffalo's Public School 79, was elected treasurer of the Buffalo Schoolmasters' association early this month. '37 BA—Not content with the fine record his team made before he received his degree in February, ex-Capt. Philip B.

V., area has been included for the past two years in counting up alumni branch clubs, it was not until a fortnight ago that formal organization and election of officers took place. At a dinner in the Elmira City club where Chancellor Samuel P. Capen and Alumni Secretary William G. Cook, BS "27, were speakers, alumni from an area bounded by Watkins Glen, Painted Post, Waverly, and the Pennsylvania border, adopted a constitution and chose officers for the coming year. rently headed by lawyers. In Utica, N. Y. one evening, a third became a club president. He is Salvador J. Capecelatro, LLB 18, Utica practitioner, who was chosen chief executive of the newly organized Central New York Alumni club. In the intimate, friendly atmosphere of the Yahnundasis Golf club alumni sang Buffalo songs, viewed Buffalo movies, discussed Buffalo problems, and pledged themselves to assist on Buffalo's program. If alumni judge their Alma Mater by what the outside world thinks of it, Central New Yorkers should be satisßed. Unstinting praise came from Dr. George B. Cutten, president of Colgate university, and Supreme Court Justice William F. Dowling, a trustee of Hamilton college, who were on the program. Speakers from campus were Chancellor Capen and Secretary Cook. Other officers for 1937-38 are Frank H. Valone, MD '19, Rome, first vice president ; Clarence R. Bennison, DDS '24, Frankfort, second vice president; George F. Mills, MD '99, Oneida, third vice president; James E. Hole, PhG '26, Utica, secretary; George C. Bower, MD "22, Marcy, ' treasurer. General chairman and spark plug of the meeting was Edward B. Williams, DDS '15 of Utica, who, like Elmira's Dr. Loop, evaded election to office but pledged his future services as a committee worker.

In tribute to his rank as senior medical practitioner of the area, the club created an honorary presidency and awarded it to Laßue R. Colegrove, MD '87, of Elmira, who had acted as toastmaster. Modestly declining all offices, Ross G. Loop, MD '97, could not escape congratulations for the success of the dinner, of which he was general chairman. To their next meeting the charter members plan to invite alumni of the Ithaca area, who have no club of their own. Until late last month, Rochester and only alumni clubs cur- Syracuse were the Warmly received by an Olean audience was the Men's Glee club on a recent concert trip there. Doubly pleasant was its visit because of the welcome given by leaders of the Allegheny Region Alumni club, of which Arthur L. Runals, MD '11, is president. Treated to an informal dinner by the Old Grads, the singers returned to campus glowing with enthusiasm, and started figuring out more of the same for next year's schedule. Last Milestones '83 MD—Richard W. Bamber, of Waterport, N. V., on May 9 at the age of 83. 94 DDS—William H.

They were Harold Lifschutz, BA '33, graduate student at the University of Michigan; Lyle W. Phillips, MA '35, graduate assistant at the University of Illinois, and Howard L. Schultz, BA '33, MA '35, Loomis fellow at Yale. It became a miniature reunion when these three faculty delegates arrived on the scene: Department Chief Edward J. Moore, Prof. L. Grant Hector and Asst. Prof. Richard N. Jones. Final touch was given by the appearance of Robert D. Potter, BS '27, assistant to the director of Science Service. Dr. Hector, a specialist in radio, also attended the convention of the Union Radio Societe Internationale. Another Lockwood Gift Still adding to his priceless gift of rare books housed in the Lockwood Memorial library, Benefactor Thomas B. Lockwood, law '96 has presented two unusual volumes within the past month. One is from the limited edition of newly discovered papers of James Boswell. The library already owns the original 18-volume set of Boswell papers presented by Mr. Lockwood. The second is so unusual that Librarian Charles D. Abbott doesn't know what to do with it, according to reports. It is a sample book of 19th century Scotch plaids. Frey Heads Deaconess An all-University of Buffalo board of officers resulted from the elections of the Buffalo Deaconess hospital medical staff a fortnight ago.

Sponsors of the plan also committed to Alumni Secretary William G. Cook, BS '27, the task of laying the plan before succeeding graduating classes. This year's results are still quite incomplete, but they already show a substantial increase over last year.

Rich, BS (Bus) '35, his only competitor. Buffalo alumni figured heavily in news of the University council's annual meeting, held a few days before Commencement. New chairman of the council is James McCormick Mitchell, LLB '97, prominent Buffalo attorney. He succeeds the late A. Glenni Bartholomew, LLB '03, under whom he had served as vice chairman. Alumnus Mitchell had been acting chairman since Mr Bartholomew's death 16 months ago. Mr. Mitchell received a bachelor's degree at Princeton before entering Buf- I. M. MITCHELL, '97 falo. His loyalty to his second Alma Mater has been maniactive fested in many ways, among them service during the 1929 Endowment campaign. He is a director of the Marine Trust company, former director of the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, a vice president of the New York State Bar association, president of the board of trustees of the First Presbyterian church, former president of the Buffalo club and dean of the Saturn club. Results of the alumni mail ballot on candidates for the council were announced at the meeting. Chemistry Professor Albert P. Sy, PhD '08 and Internist Nelson G. Russell, MD '95 were re-elected while Leon J. Gauchat, DDS '19, practitioner and facultyman, was returned after a year's absence. They will serve four-year terms. " NEXT BULLETIN IN FALL This is the last issue of the Bulletin until October. Under its permit from the U. S. Post Office department, no issues will be published during July, August and September. Next Bulletin will be sent to Buffalo's alumni and friends concurrently with the opening of the 1937-38 academic year. " In addition to the 12 seats controlled by the alumni, the council itself has power of appointment to the other 24. Several of those seats are held most of the time by alumni, thus giving the graduate body more than the minimum representation established by law. Four such appointments were made at the meeting. Chosen for four-year terms were Chairman Mitchell, Library Donor Thomas B. Lockwood, Law '96 and former City Councilman Victor B. Wylegala, LLB '19, who holds bachelor's and master's degrees from Canisius college, while Horace LoGrasso, MD '04, longtime (eight years) superintendent of the J. N. Adam Memorial hospital (tuberculosis) at Perrysburg, N.Y. was picked for a three-year tenure. These and all other current alumni members automatically constitute the Alumni council, to which are referred all council matters relating to the alumni. To these three important committees were appointed these three alumni councilors: General administration, Dr. Russell; finance. Myron S. Short, LLB C8; buildings and grounds, Marshall Clinton, MD '95. Non-alumni news of council proceedings included: Re-election to four-year terms of Mrs. Stephen M. Clement, Frank B. Baird and Jacob F. Schoelikopf Jr.; election of Supreme Court Justice Charles B. Sears to the council vice chairmanship; adoption of a balanced budget for 1937-38, with income and expenditures of $1,139,322.98, an increase of approximately $25,000 over this year's figure; approval of the list of candidates for more than 400 degrees, diplomas and certificates, who will swell the alumni body to the vicinity of 8800. Summer Session Ready More than 150 courses, taught by a staff of 75 members, will be offered in the Summer session which opens July 6. The number is a substantial increase over last year, according to Dean Leslie O. Cummings. Beside those already scheduled, provision has been made to offer others, provided there is sufficient demand. Summer courses represent the following university divisions: College of Arts and Sciences, School of Business Administration, School of Education, curriculum in library science, Division of Nursing and School of Social Work. Registrations are still being accepted. The school ends Aug. 14. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Commencement Season Program Is Full One Each year the Chancellor's office sends Commencement invitations to a selected group of educators, public officials, influential citizens, graduates and other university friends at home and afield. With each invitation goes a printed program of Commencement week activities. This year's program was a good example of the steady increase in such activities. The program actually got under way on Thursday of the week preceding Commencement when the University council met to elect officers, adopt a budget and approve the fist of graduates (see page 1). ARTS ALUMNI On Saturday came the first of several alumni gatheiings. Like the Medical and Dental school alumni, the Arts and Sciences Alumni association has heard the growing demand for alumni education, has answered it with a "post-collegiate institute" which was offered for the first time in 1936. Better attended was this year's session, in which Dr. Oliver P. Lester, BS '24, MA "26, assistant professor of psychology. affirmatively answered the question: "Human Nature—Is It Fixed or Modifiable?" and Dr. Edward W. Sine, assistant professor of English found a similar reply for the query: "Is there an American Literature?" Spirited round tables followed both addresses, which were embellished with an informal luncheon and a period of games. That evening the association held its 17th annual banquet. There were pleasant greetings from Dean Julian Park and Marion A. Shanley. BA "23, vice president of the General Alumni association; the Class of 193"7 was formally inducted into the association; there was an election of officers (see below); Dr. Alexander Schwarcman. research director of Spencer Kellogg & Sons. Inc., was eloquent and stimulating in his main address on "The Philosophy of Modern Science" to which he subsequently added reminiscences of Russia and Poland and of his last flight on the ill-fated Hindenburg, But that which many regarded as the evening's highlight was the presence of the quinquennial reunion classes and the reports of their activities. First came Mary Louise Nice, BA '32, who explained that her appointment 2s class spokesman had come as an abrupt surprise, then delivered a charming, extemporaneous five-year summary. Next came Class Secretary Norma J. Larrison, BA '2~?t whose statistical analysis of her class" physical, mental and financial/" condition "ten years after" showed that thei truest figures can still be funny. Then Irma L. Hayes and Richard T. Morris compared the class phophecy with the facts, to the detriment of Laura O'Day Pellman as a seeress. Finally came Dr. Adelle H. Land, BS '22, MA '23, assistant professor of education, whose humorous use of Gertrude Stein's style emphasized poignant memories of PRESIDENTS - ELECT left. Arts' ].

Clara Marquardt, BA '31 was chosen GAA trustee. Sunday afternoon the graduating seniors of all divisions donned caps and gowns and filed into Edmund Hayes auditorium where they and scores of townsfolk heard Chancellor Samuel P. Capen's baccalaureate address. Striking at those who would engulf universities in the tide of dictatorship, he warned against that weakening of integrity which allows them to become agencies of propaganda and politics. Next day was fair, which pleased Dr. Augustus H. Shearer, because the alumni of his library science curriculum were guests at his out-of-doors reception on the creekbank of his summer home in South Wales. BUSINESS ADDERS That evening the Business Administration Alumni association held its fifth annual meeting inthj- TJnivfiTiily rlnli_nnnrrllnr Cape«*3naDean Ralph C.

Other officers elected: Richard A. '36, first vice president; Robert E. Case, Rich, '35, second vice president; Richard W. Collard, '35, secretary-treasurer; James R. Clark. '31. GAA trustee. The Pharmacy Alumni association will not hold its annual meeting until next October, when it will join in the festivities of Pharmacy Open House week. But Pharmacy school seniors had their place in the sun on Tuesday when the new Buffalo Academy of Pharmacy held a reception in their honor in the Fairfax hotel. Later that day Chancellor and Mrs. Capen received councilors, seniors, alumni and faculty members at the Twentieth Century club. Next day was Commencement Wednesday, when a record class of 436 received degrees and diplomas at the 91st annual graduation ceremony in Elmwood Music hall. Speaker was young Dr. William A. Eddy, president of Hobart and William Smith colleges. ALUMNI IN EDUCATION That afternoon the Alumni in Education held a reception for the new graduates in Norton hall, and elected the following officers: President, Vincent A. Carberry, BS '21, EdM '33 who is principal of Buffalo's Public School 19; vice president, Irma Gertrude Thiel, EdM '35; secretary-treasurer, C. Esther Hepinstall, EdM '35. Harry I. Good, BS (Bus) '27, MA '31 was returned to the General Alumni association board of trustees for three more years. Mr. Carberry succeeds Helen R. Cornell, EdM '34. Same night the Class of 1907, School of Law held its 3Cth anniversary reunion, with Permanent President Richmond D. Moot of Schenectady presiding over a speechless program. More elaborate was the reunion program of the Law Class of 1912 a few weeks ago. It included after dinner speeches by former Dean Carlos C. Alden, new Dean Francis M. Shea and Law Professor Philip Halpern, LLB '23. Scheduled for June 22 in Erie County hall was a re-organization meeting of the Law Alumni association, which has been inactive for several years. Also on the month's calendar were annual meetings of the Alumni council and the GAA trustees' board for induction of new members and election of officers for 1937-38. Memorial Plaque Given Not generally known about outside the Pharmacy school is the existence of the complete, up-to-date, licensed Willis G. Gregory pharmacy, used as a laboratory by students in the division. A few days before graduation the Class of 1937 presented a plaque in memory of the pharmacy's founder, to be mounted on its wall. �3 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN Alumni News Brevities MD—J.

Buffalo Honored Again Three years ago Buffalo's curriculum of social work was recognized by probationary membership in the American Association of Schools for Social work. It takes three years for such probation to be terminated by rejection or full approval. During that period the curriculum became a school and Dr. Niles Carpenter its dean. Last month the probation was over and the school was voted full membership, which is the equivalent of a Class A rating. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It was on a cold Oct. 28, 1922, that he performed the two-fold function of accepting the educational reins of the institution, and the keys to the first campus building, Foster hall, which was dedicated the same day. In celebration of that event, which marked the beginning of the greater University of Buffalo, the alumni will hold a testimonial banquet in Dr. Capen's honor on Oct. 9, at 7:30 P.M. in Buffalo's Hotel Statler ballroom. To it have been invited all the alumni of Buffalo area, plus the faculty and members of the University council. Main speaker is Dr. Livingston Farrand, president emeritus of Cornell university. For his close friendship with Dr. Capen, for his achievement as a builder of Buffalo's great sister institution, for his wit and charm as a speaker, he was selected to make the address of the evening. Brief tributes also will be paid by alumni leaders. Toastmaster will be Council President James McCormick Mitchell, LLB '97. The testimonial dinner and the Alumni ball to follow, will climax the annual Homecoming day, which again this year has several attractive events on its calendar. At high noon administration, faculty, student body and alumni will congregate at the site of the new gymnasium, which is now a-building (see page 3). Chancellor Capen and Councilor Mitchell will speak briefly, and Chairman Edward Michael of the council's buildings and grounds committee, will wield the trowel. At 2:15 Jim Peelle's 1937 edition of the Buffalo Bulls will face the University of Rochester Yellowjackets in the first home game of the season. Buffalo won last year's contest 29-2. Blue and White followers anticipate another victory, despite rumbles of vengeance emanating from the Flower City. Between halves athletic and alumni officials will exchange salutations on the Rotary field public address system. At 4:30 all game patrons will be guests of Norton union at a coffee dance in Norton hall. The student body is arranging foi appointment of a committee of hostesses who have volunteered as dance partners for GUEST AND GUEST SPEAKER Left, Cornell's Livingston Farrand'; right.

"We have taken over the Statler ballroom and dining room for the entire evening. After the dinner, the Homecoming ball will be held. Art Leard's 12-piece orchestra will play from 10 P.M. to 2 A.M. "It will be a party to remember, and the entire evening's list of events is included in the price of one ticket."1 The banquet and ball are not "closed" affairs, it is pointed out. Husbands, wives, sweethearts and friends are urged to make it a truly civic celebration. Guests are invited to arrange in advance for group tables. The continuity of events will appeal to out-of-town alumni too, and special notices are being sent to leaders in the communities of Western New York. For those who arrive on campus before noon, Norton cafeteria will provide luncheon at 25 cents a plate and up. While a strong ticket committee is can- vassing the field as thoroughly as possible, any alumni who desire may secure them directly from the Alumni office.

Buffalo was one of eight institutions to receive the invitation. Those eight were sifted out of several hundred candidates. Each year the American Institute of Chemists awards junior membership to some outstanding Western New York chemistry student. The rank is irrevocable and may be replaced later by the rank of fellow. Each year for the last four years a Buffalo senior has won it. This year again it went to a member of Buffalo's graduating class. He is John A. Swartout of Kenmore. who received his bachelor of arts degree a few weeks later. Alumni on State Study Five persons connected with the university have been appointed by New York's Gov.

ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN 3 Construction of New Gymnasium Is Begun The facilities for physical education and athletics are woefully deficient The one vital deficiency remaining, for which no remedy is in sight, lies in the lack of facilities for physical education and athletics In no other department is the university for facilities. The appro- so handicapped priate development of physical education and sports will remain impossible until these facilities are provided No respectable development of physical education and athletics will be possible , until this need is met In preceding reports I hare emphasized the total inadequacy of existing facilities for physical education and athletics Thus, year after year, has Chancellor Samuel P. Capen, in his annual reports, pointed a reproachful finger at one of the university's sore spots. Concurrently, the popular mind has conceived an intense dislike for "The Barn," which has done drafty duty as gymnasium and field house at Bailey and Winspear avenues for many student generations. When Mrs. Evelyn Howes Clark died early in 1936, she bequeathed 5300.000 to the university, for construction of ■'some worthwhile" building on campus (Bulletin. October, 1936). Leniently failing to specify exactly what purpose the structure must serve, she merely stipulated that it must be "as pretentious as any on the campus." The choice seemed obvious to those who had served on teams, participated in intramurals, or been in physical education classes (at one time compulsory). But there was just enough talk about other needs, from dormitory to chapel, to cause months of speculation. The matter was further complicated by a clause in the will to the effect that if the moneyat present available would not ensure the desirable degree of pretentiousness, it should be put to work for a few years until that end were attained. The cornerstone As exciting, therefore, as the arrival of the Marines in a nickel thriller, was the announcement last July that construction of a gymnasium would start at once, with May, 1938, as the time set for completion. On July Bth surveyors staked out the excavation. Four days later sewer pipe was being laid inward from the Winspear avenue trunk. By August the digging machine had been in and out again, and on August 16th the first concrete piers were hardening. Steelwork started in September, and contractors promised to be ready for a cornerstone laying on October 9, which is Homecoming day (see page 1). Three hundred thousand dollars is a modest sum for a gymnasium, if completeness and adequacy are desired. It is possible to spend as much as a million, as at Yale, whose gymnasium is luxuriously ornate. Buffalo's long-sighted councilors, insisting on completeness and adequacy, whittled the ornateness out of the architect's plan, but still were faced with a project costing about 3425,000. Final decision was that the university will strain its own meager resources to add 570,768 to the original 3300,000. This, while providing the most essential features of a modern university physical education plant, will leave several items unprovided for, of which the principal one is the swimming pool. Space for the pool will be left, however, so that some future gift can be used to finish it. Meanwhile the space will be utilized as an indoor cage for football and other activities. To be known as the Irwin B. Clark memorial, Buffalo's tenth campus building will be located 1050 feet directly behind Edmund Hayes hall, which brings it reasonably close to Rotary field and the heating plant. It also is accessible to the parking lot and to Winspear avenue traffic. The exterior will be Georgian, in keep- will be laid IRWIN B. CLARK MEMORIAL as a prelude to Homecoming day, ing with the campus plan. Local rough limestone with Indiana limestone trim will be laid in irregular pattern, similar to that of the heating plant. The length will be 200 feet, depth 150 feet and height 45 feet above ground. The interior plan provides for three floors and a basement. There will be a large gymnasium, two smaller gynmasiums, varsity team room, freshman or visiting team room, several large and small locker rooms, protected open-air sun deck and exercise court. In the plan also are medical examination rooms, physical therapy room, offices, a large classroom, women's dancing and lounge rooms, showers and a drying room. Women's facilities will be on the right, men's on the left side. Principal rooms, like the gymnasiums, are for both sexes. The main gymnasium, occupying the second and third floors, will be 125 feet long, 85 feet wide and 30 feet high. It will accommodate three small practice basketball courts, which will be merged into one court with seating accommodations for 1500 persons at games. The smaller gymnasiums, 32 by 65 feet and 20 feet high, will be for badminton, volley ball, paddle tennis and similar sports. These also will occupy the second and third floors. A special exercise room with the usual bars, horses and rings, will also be on the second floor, along with men's and women's administrative offices. The third floor will contain four offices and a large classroom, the women's lounge, game room and medical examination room. From this floor one will gain access to the sun deck and exercise court, which will occupy the roof of the three-floor swimming pool. Here are the features for which funds are not at present available: Swimming pool, 100 by 60 feet; archery and rifle ranges; bowling alleys, squash extra locker and shower rooms.

Chief Councilor Diebold, following graduation as president of his class and winner of the senior prize, was admitted to the bar and became associated with the iaw office of E. E. Coatsworth. In 1901 the firm of Coatsworth & Diebold was formed and Mr. Diebold retains his partnership in it today. He entered the banking business many years ago as trustee of the Western Savings bank. Later he became vice president and in 1924 president. His devotion to civic affairs is well known. Among other things he was for a time Chairman of the Buffalo Temporary Emergency Relief administration and chairman of the Civil Works administration. He was chairman of the banking and finance committee of the Chamber of Commerce in 1932 when it sponsored the Buffalo Home Mortgage Advisory board. He was the Democratic candidate for mayor in 1929, and his appointment to the emergency relief post was one of the first acts of the late Charles E. Roesch, the successful Republican aspirant. Mr. Diebold is the father of Charles R. Diebold, LLB "35, who is associated with him in law practice. He is a past president of the Erie County Bar association, past president of the Buffalo Athletic Club, a life member of the Buffalo Library association and member of the Buffalo club, Buffalo Canoe club, Cherry Hill Country club and various Masonic organizations. Other officers who will serve with him this year are James E. King, MD '96, vice chairman; Griffith G. Pritchard, DDS '18, recorder; G. Thomas Ganim, BS '24 LLB '27, assistant recorder; Myron S. Short, LLB ■08 and Victor B. Wylegala, LLB '19, members of the executive committee. Observers have felt a growing need for thorough understanding and mutual trust between the Alumni council and the General Alumni association. It was GAA President-elect Allan who underscored this need in a plea to the Alumni council at the annual meeting. Mr. Diebold responded with the appointment of an Alumni council "committee on alumni co-operation" which will work with GAA representatives this year. The committee consists of Judge Harris, chairman; George G. Davidson Jr.. LLB '97; Leon J. Gauchat, DDS '19; Pharmacy Dean A. Bertram Lemon, PhG *13; Herbert A. Smith, MD "07. "Jack" Allan had an impressive undergraduate career, which includes such highlights as football, interfraternity basketball, presidency of the S. A. C, business managership of the freshman handbook and the Bison, chairmanship of the Junior Prom and the Senior ball, chairmanship of Moving Up day. Senior bazaar, presidency of Phi Delta Phi fraternity, treasurership of the Arts junior class and presidency of the Law senior class. But his extra-mural activities have been exciting too. He served as an aerial gunner in the naval air forces operating out of Bordeaux, France, and best remembers one flight with the dramatic combination of a bad storm, a drunken pilot, a TNT-laden plane and a failing gas supply. Today Alumnus Allan holds a junior lieutenant's commission in the Naval reserve. He was the organizer and first president of the Erie County Young Republican club. He has served as a GAA trustee since 1933, and was elected to the exerutive committee in 1936. In addition to practicing law he is secretary to Supreme Court Justice John V. Maloney, LLB '01.

Clark Memorial gymnasium, it was found necessary, because of lack of funds, to defer completion of certain portions of it {Bulletin. October). When certain alumni leaders heard the news that one item not to be put in at this time was a swimming pool, they decided that something ought to be done about it. Through the Alumni council they presented a plan to the university, and volunteered to raise the necessary money. The University council readily assented and agreed to put the alumni label on the finished job. Chief credit for the idea goes to Nelson G. Russell, MD '95, longtime professor of medicine, onetime member of the Athletic council. But to Chairman Charles Diebold Jr., LLB '97, of the Alumni council was given the job of announcing plans for a $50,000 alumni effort, to begin on Nov. 1, under joint sponsorship of the Alumni council and the General Alumni association. The announcement was made at the testimonial banquet for Chancellor Capen on his 15th anniversary (see page 4). It is emphasized by sponsors of the project that the university is not asking for help. At considerable strain on its own slim exchequer it has contributed $70,768 to the original 3300,000 bequest of Mrs. Evelyn Howes Clark. This sum will cover most needs. But cover a swimming pool it cannot, and the university authorities simply planned to leave space for it, hoping some future donor would finish the job. The alumni themselves have determined to be that donor, and will use their own methods of raising the money. For general chairman they have selected a man experienced in this kind of enterprise. He is Myron S. Short, LLB '08, vice president of the Buffalo Savings bank, former president of the Buffalo V.M.C.A., and an old campaigner in "V" financial drives. As his two chief assistants he has chosen Dr. Russell and Christopher Baldy, LLB '10. As vice chairmen they will divide the alumni field between them. Dr. Russell supervising the three divisions devoted to the healing arts—Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy (including Analytical Chemistry) while Mr. Baldy will have charge of the related fields of Law, Business Adminis- tration and Arts (including Education, Social Work and Library Science). Division majors follow: Medicine, James E. King, MD '96; Dentistry, Guy M. Fiero, DDS '05; Pharmacy, Mearl D. Pritchard, PhG '21; Law, Karl A. McCormick, LLB OLD CAMPAIGNER General Chairman Myron S. Short, LLB '08 P08; Arts, John S. Allan, BS '27, LLB '30; Business Administration, Robert L. Beyer, BS (Bus) '32. Team organization is progressing apace, and between Nov. I* and Nov. 5 more than 500 workers will make a personal canvass in Buffalo and in all other alumni areas of any size. In other places the solicitation will be made by mail. Leaders of the project are optimistic because of the specific nature of the cause and the natural appeal of an athletic and physical education enterprise. They also believe the alumni will see the economy in building the pool now while the gymnasium structure is still open, rather than in future, when the cost will be raised some $10,000 to $15,000. Slogan for the project: "Let's Finish the Job." Medical Men Elected "LET'S FINISH THE JOB" Architect's drawing of what the alumni have offered to build Three alumni won offices at the annual election of the Eighth district branch of the New York State Medical society in Olean last month. They were Leon J. Leahy, MD "20, Buffalo, vice president; Peter J. Di Natale, MD '24, Batavia, secretary; Fitch H. Van Orsdale, MD '91, Belmont, treasurer. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Alumni Kinsmen Add to Enrollment University of Buffalo enrollment increas- ed 8.5 per cent this year, according to Registrar Emma E.

The number is a sligbt decrease from last year's total of 81. Because of space limitation, the published list does not show cousins, nephews and "in-laws."

University Council Chairman James McCormick Mitchell stepped forward, addressed himself to "fellow alumni and friends of the university." and said, "we are here today to lay the cornerstone of our new gymnasium- the Iran B. Cla.k Memorial —and to dedicate the same to the uses of the university." Thus at high noon on Oct. 9 began one of the most memorable Homecoming day programs in alumni organization history, a program which went through several stages and did not end until 2 o'clock the next morning. With representatives of the University council, the General Alumni association, the Alumni council, the Athletic council, the Student Athletic association, the Block B club, the Student unoin, and the school and division administrations present as witnesses. Chairman Edward Michael of the university's buildings and grounds committee lowered a sealed copper box into the cornerstone and placed the first trowelful of mortar thereon. Chancellor Capen then stood forth to acknowledge the gift of Mrs. Evelyn Howes Clark as a "gift of civic Memorable One the university, and tohear Dr. Livingston Farrand, who only the day before had handed the presidency of Cornell university over to a successor and become president emeritus of that great sister institution. There were tributes from John S. Allan, BS "27, LLB '30, president of the General Alumni association; from CharlesDiebold, Jr., LLB '97, chairman of the Alumni Council, who announced the alumni body's intention to build a swimming pool in the new gymnasium (see page 1) ; from Council Chairman Mitchell, who acted as toastat master. But it was Guest Speaker Farrand, an old friend of the chancellor and himself nationally famous educator, who reminded Buffalo in no uncertain terms how lucky it is to have as the head of its university a man '"recognized by all of us as a master. Your good fortune in getting him here to Buffalo has helped us all." Smartest quip of the evening: Toastmaster Mitchell's comment on Mr.Diebold's announcement of the swimming pool project. Said he, "As I understand it, the gymnasium fills a long-felt want, and now you want a well-filled tank." a patriotism." Then the spectators adjourned, most of them to Norton hall, for lunch. By 2:15 they were together again, reinforced by many hundreds more, to watch the opening home game of the 1937 football season and the closing game of the Buffalo-Rochester series. The Bulls looked good in the first two quarters, in each of which Halfback Danny Dalfonso scored a touchdown. They looked sluggish in the third, and in the finale, Rochester took to the air. scored one touchdown and was bidding for a second when the game ended, Buffalo 12, Rochester 7.

This is the decision of the committee in charge, as announced by General Chairman Myron S. Short, LLB '08. At the close of business on November 30th the fund stood at $9307.05, donated by exactly 1301 alumni and friends. This, of course, will not build a swimming pool. Until the needed amount is forthcoming, the fund will be held in trust by the university as a nucleus for the swimming pool project. "The committee wishes to assure the donors that their gift will not be used for any other purpose than that for which they give," Mr. Short declared. "It will positively be used for the pool, and we have so labeled it in turning it over to the university. "I wish to thank most sincerely those who worked in the campaign, the captains, majors and division chiefs who executed our plans, and finally, those who contributed. "There are no other funds in the university treasury to take care of the pool, nor are there any large gifts available or in prospect, for that purpose. Therefore we shall continue to appeal to the alumni who either were not reached or did not understand the urgency of this cause. Once more I ask them to do their share in this first alumni-sponsored fund effort." Returns as of Nov. 30 follow: $250 Medicine, James E. King, '96. $200 Medicine, Nelson G.

Dr. Frank P. Graves, president of the University of the State of New York, and president of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, will present the charter to the new "Omicron chapter of New York." It was the same Dr. Graves who years ago helped to initiate the late President Elmer Hewitt Capen of Tufts college, father of Buffalo's Chancellor Samuel P. Capen. There are at present 30 facultymen who "made" Phi Beta Kappa at other institutions, and others are liberally sprinkled throughout the city. It was these who fostered the new Buffalo chapter, which comes into being with the faculty 30 as charter members, plus 20 newly selected individuals. It was this latter list which was awaited with great interest by many. Final tally: Eleven alumni of the College of Arts and Sciences; one alumnus of the Law school; four non-alumni; four undergraduates.

Buffalo Man Gets All-American Citation Squeezed out by other campus news, Buffalo football events, no longer news, are still worth reviewing. Biggest single item was the university's maiden voyage on the All-American sea. One of a handful of small college teams so honored, the Bulls' star halfback, Danny Dalfonso, was nominated for the national board's mythical team. A serious leg injury kept him out of the last two games. Nevertheless the board awarded him its card of merit. For the same reason Dalfonso missed a chance to play in the East-West game on New Year's day. Said All-East Coach Andy Kerr: "We would have given him very serious consideration if he had not been injured." Dalfonso, along with the rugged Vito Grieco, center, made the sport scribes' All- Western New Yor eleven. Finally, Dalfon so won for the seconi season the most vaiua ble player troph awarded by the Kappa Delta Psi fraternity a ter selection by a spec ial campus board. A fifty-fifty biea c would have satisfiet many of the country leading coaches las season. That is wha DAN DALFONSO Jim Peelle got. Wins were recorded against Allegheny (13-7), Rochester (12-7), Kent State (13-0) and Defiance (12-7) while games were lost to undefeated Alfred (13-25), Hobart (7-12), Wayne (6-23) and R. P. I. (12-13). Season totals, Buffalo 88, opponents 94. Biggest news of the 1938 season is the signing of C.C.N.Y. for Oct. 1 in New York. Only other newcomer is Manchester college of Indiana, onetime state intercollegiate college champions, on Oct. 8 at home. The other games: Alfred away Oct. 15; Kent State away Oct. 22; Allegheny home Oct. 29; Hobart home Nov. 5; Wayne away Nov. 12; R.P.I, home Nov. 19. �2 To tbe Council of the University of Buffalo: I have the honor to submit the report of the chancellor for the academic year 1936-37: Community Relationships The primary function of the modern university, as of the medieval university, is professional education. In the United States, professional education, with the exception of theological education, has been entrusted to the institutions of higher learning only in comparatively recent times. The first formulation of the corpus of professional theory has usually been made by thoughtful practitioners. The higher schools have come upon the scene as agencies of professional education only when an emerging profession has grown to sizeable proportions and has begun to be concerned about the quality of service that it renders to the public. At this stage each profession has turned to the universities and has laid upon them the task of providing necessary theoretical instruction, as well as some training in practical techniques. The professions, not the universities, have exercised the initiative in this transfer of responsibility. If the universities of the United States have expanded the area of their operations in professional education more slowly than some have wished, nevertheless the lateral growth during the last half century is the most conspicuous aspect of their development. The quantitative growth of university education and of the means for carrying it on is, of course, formidable. But the essential change has been the change in its purpose and concept. Probably few persons are aware of the range of opportunities for professional training now represented in the universities of the United States. To the older professional schools of law, medicine, dentistry, engineering and pharmacy have been added schools of agriculture, art, drama, music, journalism, business administration, education, public administration, diplomacy, public health, nursing, librarianship and social service. Still more numerous are the professional curricula, not formally organized as schools. The number of recognized professions for which one or more universities in the United States now offer specific training is in the neighborhood of 50. Hand in hand with this extraordinary extension of the area of professional education has gone an equally extensive development of research. The annexation to the universities of each new field of professional training has stimulated inquiry both in the basic sciences underlying the professions and in the application of scientific principles to professional practice. Both in quantity and quality the research output of American universities now compares favorably with the output of any other nation. The change in university education which the lay public sometimes fails to see is a change in the center of gravity. The college of arts and sciences is no longer the dominant unit of the typical UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO The State of the University (frnm tbe Chancellor's Report) American university. It is still the fertilizing unit, the indispensable unit. But the bulk of the typical university's resources is devoted to professional education. The perennial question in all branches of professional education is: What shall be the proportion of theory to practice? A subsidiary question, almost equally important, is: By what means and in what environments shall students secure the necessary practical training ? To these questions there are no sure or permanent answers. With respect to the first, professional schools tend, to oscillate between two extremes of policy. In connection with the latter, there is now something like unanimous agreement that training in the operating techniques of a profession should as far as possible be secured through participation in professional practice under the guidance of experienced practitioners. Within the last two decades most of the professions have come to realize that they have a responsibility for the preparation of new members which they cannot wholly shift to the universities. In the broadest sense this means that the community has a responsibility, apart from the financial support of the higher schools, which it cannot evade if it is to receive the professional services which it demands. The community's responsibility is to foster and encourage cooperation between the universities and those organized agencies through which the professions render their respective services to the public. Such institutions as hospitals, libraries, courts, penal establishments, museums, schools, social welfare agencies and citizens' organizations employing a professional personnel for the attainment of social objectives are under an obligation to share with the universities the task of professional education. Since the reorganization of its council in 1920 the University of Buffalo has sought deliberately to realize the conception of the modern university which I have just outlined. The first task of the new council was obviously to strengthen and enlarge the College of Arts and Sciences until it could invite comparison with the best colleges in the land. But while it was building up the college, the council did not ignore the obligation of the university to provide, as far as its resources permitted, the various types of professional education needed in the section of the country that the university serves, and which are not already supplied by some other institution. To the four older professional schools of medicine, pharmacy, law and dentistry it has added divisions (schools or curricula) for the education of librarians, teachers, business executives, accountants, social workers, nurses and research scholars in the arts and sciences. It has offered instruction in banking, insurance, journalism and the earlier (and less expensive) stages of engineering. The council has been able thus to extend the range of the university's offerings in professional education, without impairing the support of existing divisions, only by cultivating to the fullest possible extent rhe policy of cooperation with the institutions for professional service within the community. For two generations the ablest local practitioners gave the university their time and accumulated knowledge and experience, without stint or price, and the organized health agencies were always ready to pool their resources with those of the university for the purpose of professional education. In the later development the council has assumed on the part of individuals and institutions the same readiness to cooperate for the improvement of professional education. Its expectations have in no case been disappointed. And in every instance the relations which the university has established with the professional agencies of the community have been mutually profit- able. The oldest of these cooperative relationships is that between the Medical school and certain hospitals. Three hospitals, the Buffalo General, the Children's hospital and the Buffalo Gty hospital place thenfacilities at the disposal of the university for the clinical instruction of medical students and practitioners. The connection between the university and the Buffalo General hospital dates from 1861, the Children's hospital from 1894 and the Gty hospital from 1920. The most recently organized division of the university is the Division of Nursing. The plan of nursing education rests altogether on cooperation between the university and local hospitals which conduct nurse training schools. The most extensive cooperations between the university and the community are the growth of the activities of the university's newer divisions. Indeed, the establishment of each of these divisions was dictated by the university's desire to fulfill a manifest need of the Niagara frontier region. The first of these undertakings was the course in library science—and in many respects this enterprise has furnished a pattern for the relationships subsequently entered into with other agencies of the community. The university organized the course in library science in response to requests from the local public libraries for assistance in training their professional personnel. For 18 years these libraries have joined with the university in conducting the training program. The degree to which the university has played its part in fulfilling the community's need for this class of professional specialists is indicated by the fact that all of the high school librarians appointed in Buffalo since the establishment of the course are graduates of the university, as are those of 14 neigh- �3 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN boring towns and cities. The College of Arts and Sciences had not graduated its first class before the demand came for the establishment of professional and general courses for teachers in the secondary schools. As fast as its means allowed the university sought to meet this demand. Courses in educational theory were offered, first through the agency of the department of psychology, then through a department of education, and finally, since 1931, through the School of Education. Probably no more fruitful cooperation between the university and any outside organization exists than that between the School of Education and the school systems of Buffalo and its surrounding towns. The evidence seems clear that the university has contributed to the improvement of the standards of the teaching profession in the Buffalo area. At the same time its School of Education has been oriented and fertilized by its intimate contacts with the public schools. Like the School of Education, the School of Business Administration was established in response to repeated and pressing requests from business leaders and from individuals desiring instruction in business administration. For the first two or three years of its existence the school offered its instruction in the evening. It soon became apparent, however, that the university could count on a considerable body of full time students. The bulk of the work of the school was therefore transferred to the daytime. But the university has not lost sight of the group for which professional instruction in business subjects was first offered. Something like a third of the total enrollment of the Millard Fillmore college (formerly the Evening session) consists annually of students of business subjects. Large numbers of employers have every year assumed the cost of the instruction of their more promising employes in certain business subjects, in the belief that the enterprises which they direct benefit from a more highly educated personnel. The youngest school of the university, the School of Social Work, exemplifies strikingly both of the policies which have guided the university in developing its offerings in the field of professional education. The germ of the school was a curriculum of social work administered by the College of Arts and Sciences in 1931. As the economic depression continued to run its course the demand for trained social workers increased rapidly. It enlarged its staff and offerings; and in 1935 the enterprise was organized as a separate division of the university. It is believed that the university's prompt response to this relatively new demand for professional education not only benefited the individuals and organizations who were the direct recipients of its provisions, but also improved the general conditions of the community. The training program of the School of Social Work is based on a tight integration of the university with the social agencies of Buffalo and the vicinity. Twenty-four of these agencies, public and private, sectarian and non-sectarian, urban and rural, cooperate with the university in the clinical instruction of prospective social workers. Probably no other professional school of the university makes a direct contribution to so many community undertakings. Two divisions of the university, the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Education, now cooperate with the Buffalo Fine Arts academy and the School of Fine Arts in administering courses, one of which leads to the bachelor of fine arts degree, the other, to the degree of bachelor of science in education, for teachers of art. Each of the three central university services, namely the Lockwood Memorial library, the Bureau of Personnel Research and the Bureau of Business and Social Research, has important relations with organizations and individuals within the community. Mr. Lockwood's remarkable collection of rare books is a center of attraction to scholars and bibliophiles, and furnishes the nucleus for periodical exhibitions of literary rarities. The Friends of the Lockwood Memorial Library, now numbering 265, have assumed responsibility for building up the collection of old and rare books and of sponsoring the exhibitions. Five such exhibitions were held during the year under review and 664 additions were made to the collection. The Bureau of Personnel Research has continued to furnish the guidance and testing service for exceptionally able students in the high schools of Buffalo and surrounding towns which was initiated as part of the study of articulation of high school and college financed by the General Education board. The purpose of the study was to identify, while they were still in high school, students of extraordinary ability who planned to attend the university, to give them additional opportunities to work in the field of their interest, and to enable them to finish school and college in less than the normal number of years. The service proved so profitable to a considerable group of students, and so interesting to many high school teachers, that the university has continued it at its own expense since the expiration of the General Education board's grant. The Bureau of Personnel Research also has constantly extended the range of its contacts with business, industrial and educational agencies with a view to the placement of university graduates in appropriate forms of employment. This service soon showed itself to be mutually advantageous to employers and to the university community. The record in assisting members of the graduating classes to find employment was exceptionally high throughout the years of the depression. The Bureau of Business and Social Research was created with the double purpose of investigating business conditions in this area for the benefit of local busi- ness enterprises, and of supplying facilities for the statistical studies carried on by members of the social science departments. From the beginning the bureau has made available to business organizations monthly reports on conditions in various lines of business. It has also supplied statistical information on particular topics upon request. During the year under review it has rendered services of this character to various local and state officials. I do not need to remind the council of the university's largest contribution to the general welfare of the community. Millard Fillmore college, established as the Evening session in 1923, has from the beginning been dedicated to the task of providing such forms of professional and cultural education as various groups of adult citizens may from time to time need or desire. The policy has been from the start to keep its organization so flexible that it might instantly adapt itself to the changing phases of public need. But increasingly as time has gone on its students have become candidates for regular degrees. Since the establishment of the Evening session, 16,449 persons, residents of Buffalo and neighboring communities, have been enrolled. Its patronage has come from citizens engaged in all kinds of occupations and from every social group. A description of the university's formal relationships with organized agencies of the community does not cover its total contribution to civic undertakings of the city, the state and the nation. Some of the most valuable of these contributions are made by individual members of the teaching staff. Since the Great war all kinds of organizations, governmental and private, have shown an increasing tendency to call upon university experts for advice and scientific assistance. The services of professors in the natural and social sciences has been especially sought. The council is perhaps unaware of the variety and magnitude of these services. Even a list of those performed during a single year would be very long. The following few examples indicate the range of the university's contacts with local, state and national activities. I believe they reveal the fact that the university has encouraged the participation of its members in such activities as far as it can legitimately do so. Two professors have been given short leaves of absence to make special studies in connection with the Regents' Inquiry into the Character and Cost of Public Education in the State of New York. The university contributed both the chairman and vice chairman of the Automobile Industry committee of the Price Research conference affiliated with the National Bureau of Economic Research. Two members of the staff served as consultants on social and economic questions to the Republican National committee. One member of the staff is now serving as a member of a committee appointed by Gov. Lehman to collect materials for the Constitutional convention. One staff member was given a �UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 4 leave of absence to conduct a survey of the place of the social sciences in the secondary schools sponsored by Teachers college, Columbia university. Members of the faculties of the School of Pharmacy and the College of Arts and Sciences have cooperated with the Board oi Health, the Buffalo Police department and the Buffalo Better Business bureau in making tests and giving technical advice. One member of the staff has served as a consulting member of the faculty of the Central Guard school of New York state. Faculty members have assisted —as committee chairmen and expert advisers—the Buffalo Council of Social Agencies, the Foreign Policy association, the Buffalo Forum service, the International institute, the Children's Aid society, the Mental Hygiene society, the National Youth administration, the Buffalo City Planning association and numerous other organizations devoted to social work and public education. Enrollment and Finances The total enrollment for the year under review was 4~49. the largest in the history of the university. The increase over the en. Ilment oi the preceding year was 73 per cent. This gross figure needs to be analyzed before one can understand the real movement of the university population. The regular session enrollment increased 2.1 per cent. The Summer session gained 8.3 per cent and Millard Fillmore college approximately 9 per cent. Last year I pointed out that an increase of 7 per cent in the total enrollment of the university-, made up chiefly of gains in the number of Evening and Summer session students, produced a relatively small increase in income from fees. The statement is still pertinent. Once more the report of the comptroller indicates that it was necessary to draw on the surplus in the general operating account of the year just ended in order to balance the budget for the year 193^-38. The sum of $21,291.69 was so appropriated, which represented all but $539.26 of the operating surplus. Although the university has continued to receive substantial gifts and bequests throughout the depression, its endowment assets are still much too small for its needs. Fees received from students constitute the chief source of income. The up- ward movement in the enrollment, which has now apparently established itself, is a welcome portent. But the university must still sail very close to the wind. It cannot embark upon new ventures which involve additional expenditures; nor can it at present restore the salary scales of 1932. Important Changes in the Divisions School of Medicine The Head of the department of general medicine resigned during the year under review. It seemed to the dean and to many of the senior members of the medical faculty, desirable to try the chairmanship plan of departmental administration. The teaching of the department is carried on in each of the three cooperating hospitals. The staff of the department numbers more than -40 members. The work of co-ordinating the instruction conducted by so many individuals in several centers is exceedingly complicated. It was the belief of these officers of the medical faculty that it should be assigned to a person who could devote a large fraction of his time to the undertaking. The council accordingly, on the chancellor's recommendation, designated the assistant dean of the School of Medicine as chairman of the department of general medicine. The executive committee of the department is to consist of the professor of medicine in charge of the medical teaching at the Buffalo General hospital, the professor of medicine in charge of teaching at the Buffalo City hospital, and the chairman of the department. If the experiment works well, I expect that this form of organization will be extended gradually to the other large departments of the university. Millard Fillmore College On March 25, 1937, the committee on general administration of the council voted to change the name of the Evening session to Millard Fillmore college. Four reasons led to the action. (1) The name "Evening session" was no longer descriptive. This division conducts numerous courses and several curricula during the daytime. (2) It is misleading to have the evening work of the university classified with the extension offerings of other institutions which are administered by so-called evening sessions. (3) In the interests of accuracy the university's evening instruction should be differentiated in title from federal and state free time adult education centers called "evening sessions." (4) It was a welcome opportunity7 to give fitting recognition to the services of Millard Fillmore, first chancellor and an organizer of the university. School of Law The School of Law has undergone radical reorganization. Except for voluntary services, contributed freely and enthusiastically since its establishment, the school could not have provided legal education of high quality. The lawyers and judges of Buffalo, under the leadership of the former dean, are responsible for the school's standards and reputation. But for some years its whole teaching body has been urging upon the council the necessity of entrusting all but a small fraction of the instruction to full time members of the faculty. The council provided in the spring of 1936 for the addition of three persons to the full time teaching staff and for a full time librarian. During the year under review the faculty consisted of four full time professors, one professor with certain outside connections who carried a full time load, and five volunteers. In June, 1937 the council added two more members to the full time faculty. It is believed that with these latest additions the full time staff will be large enough to meet all the immediate instructional demands of a school of approximately 200 students, and at the same time to offer a certain number of post-graduate courses. The new dean and his associates have addressed themselves vigorously to desirable changes in the curriculum. A beginning has also been made in reforming the system of examinations. Needs of the University In all of my annual reports for more than a decade I have emphasized the pressing need of a building for physical education and athletics. The council's decision to use the bequest of Mrs. Evelyn Howes Clark for the erection of such a building at last provides the university with this essential instrument of education. The plans of the gymnasium, which is already under construction, have been drawn to furnish ample facilities for the athletic activities of both the men and women students and for the instructional uses of the department of physical education and hygiene. The one remaining building for which there is a pressing need is a structure to house the activities of Millard Fillmore college and the Law school. Millard Fillmore college continues to grow at the 10 The conper year. rate of 9 or cent a gestion of the Law school building likewise constitutes a serious problem. I am aware that the council has frequently considered the desirability of erecting a large building on the site of Townsend hall to house both of these large divisions. I hope it may soon be possible to realize this project. Substantial additions to the endowment fund remain the greatest need of the university. Whether these additions take the form of unrestricted endowment or of special foundations to carry professorships is immaterial. The need is for money that can be used to help the university to carry its immense salary roll. The salary cuts must be restored at the earliest possible date if the university is to continue to be the effective instrument for higher education which it has become. This is a matter that concerns at least indirectly every citizen of Buffalo. I have said on previous occasions that an addition of at least 32,000,000 to the university's unrestricted endowment, or to the endowment of professorships, is needed to conduct adequately the educational enterprises to which the university is now committed. Second only to the need of additional endowment is the need of more funds for scholarships and fellowships. The university's provisions for these student aids are exceedingly limited. Every year the evidence multiplies that scores of exceptionally able young people in this area who are eager to attend the University of Buffalo are unable to do so because of their inability to pay its charges. Many of these young people must forego higher education altogether. This is society's loss; and especially it is Buffalo's loss. Respectfully submitted, SAMUEL P. CAPEN �5 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN The Comptrollers Report To the Council of the University of Buffalo, Buffalo, New York Gentlemen: The annual report of the comptroller for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1937 is presented herewith. The balance sheet, Exhibit "A," shows endowment assets of 55,868,446.70; plant assets of $6,570,506.89; and operating assets of $53,593.51. On June 30, 1937, the balance in the endowment fund account was $5,839,713.96, as shown in Exhibit "B" presented herewith. On June 30, 1936 this balance was $5,323,270.01. The net increase for the year, therefore, in the endowment fund account was $516,443.95. Included in this increase was a bequest of $300,000 under the will of Mrs. Evelyn Howes Clark for the establishment of the Irwin B. Clark memorial and $154,348.16 received on pledges to the 1929 Endowment Fund campaign. The endowment fund account is made up of $1,985,572.22 of general purpose funds and $3,854,141.74 of special purpose funds as shown in Exhibit "B." The value of the plant assets on June 30, 1936 was $6,515,-918.16. The value of the plant assets on June 30, 1937 was $6,563,977.81. The increase during the year under review, therefore, was $48,059.65. The total operating income for the year was $987,890.61; the total operating disbursements were $966,059.66 as shown below. The year, therefore, closed with a credit balance of $21,830.95 which is 2.21 per cent of the total income for the year. From this surplus the sum of $21,291.69 was appropriated by the committee on general administration to balance the budget for the fiscal year 1937-38. The total operating income for the year exceeded the operating income of the preceding year by $45,800.83, while the total operating disbursements exceeded those of the preceding year by $40,683-27. The following is a comparative table of the operating account of the university for the fiscal years 1934-35, 1935-36, and 1936-37: Income 1934-1935 1935-1936 Fees Received from Students $726,383.26 $739,065.95 Income from Endowment 169,044.34 171,865.42 Dental Infirmary (Net) 14,747.48 13,322.89 appropriation from 1933-34 Surplus (Medical School) 10,000.00 _ifts Received to Apply on Salaries 9,400.00 Rental Property Income 1,182.00 1,430.00 Miscellaneous 7,781.80 7,005.52 Appropriation of 1935-1936 Surplus Total Income $929,138.88 Expenses $942,089.78 1936-1937 $768,753.50 172,497.31 12,598.24 7,400.00 1,730.00 8,198.17 16,713.39 $987,890.61 Expenses of Administration $124,651.61 $132,681.49 $138,558.25 Salaries of Instruction 503,011.06 507,469.41 528,860.53 Supplies Used in Instruction 24,843.29 22,344.76 26,435.12 Dperation and Maintenance of Buildings 88,057.84 89,734.02 82,660.17 Dperation and Maintenance of Central Heating Plant 22,859.33 20,912.08 20,986.37 Upkeep and Improvement—University Campus 27,210.62 30,934.87 45,364.14 DepartmenLibraries, General and 43,280.62 tal 36,950.57 43,902.72 Bureau of Business and Social Research 6,496.74 6,499.19 6,853.58 Department of Physical Education and Hygiene 10,551.19 14,521.74 14,601.66 11,719.34 rhe Registrar's Office 10,880.77 11,423.14 Furniture and Fixtures 1,932.81 2,775.49 6,192.00 Scientific Equipment 7.299.23 8,169.57 6,939.63 Catalogs, Bulletins, Printing and 7,892.22 Advertising 8,157.28 7,104.66 8,348i75 5,968.18 6,619.80 insurance [nterest on Mortgages and Notes Payable 17,712.88 15,596.71 15,033.07 2,029.78 1,904.97 Rental Property Expense 1,478.11 City of Buffalo Property Assess925.12 883.09 ments Collection of Endowment Fund 1,537.36 2,187.71 Pledges 2,103.39 $902,611.98 Total Expenses Surplus for the Year $925,376.39 26,526.90 16,713.39 $966,059.66 21,830.95 During the year 1936-37 fees received from students equalled 77.8 per cent of the total income of the university for the year a.id 79.6 per cent of the total cost of operating the university for the year.

Attention is again directed to the university's imperative need of additional endowment to yield free income. Such additional income is necessary for the improvement and development of the existing services of the university and for the restoration of the salary scale which obtained prior to the fall of 1932 when salaries throughout the university were reduced because of the depression. To meet these needs $2,000,000 of additional funds are required and it is to this problem that the attention of the friends of the university is earnestly directed. Such endowment may come in the form of endowments of professorships or departments of th university or may come as additions to general endowment.

Rosengren, LLB '27 of BufAlumni Leaders Will Plan Platform To graduates of a considerable number of American colleges and universities, alumni partkipation in the management of their institutions is a familiar story. Alumni representation on governing boards, alumni chairmanship or membership of important committees is not unusual. Alumni advisory posts in such important fields as student admissions, job placement, fund raising, athletics and publicity are nothALLAN, '27 ing new. Because he believes that there is a growing interest among Buffalo alumni for deeper participation in the university's program, President General Alumni association has issued a general call to all alumni leaders. On Jan. 22 he addressed the following "Alumni-Gram" to nearly 150 officers and leaders of the 13 branch clubs (plus some out-of-Buffalo groups not yet organized); the eight divisional associations and the Alumni Club, Inc.; all members of the Alumni council, and all trustees of the General Alumni association: THERE WILL BE NO GENERAL ALUMNI CELEBRATION ON UNIVERSITY DAY THIS YEAR—BUT I AM CALLING A PRIVATE DINNER MEETING OF ALL ALUMNI OFFICERS AND LEADERS THAT NIGHT TUESDAY FEBRUARY 22 1938—1NVIEW OF RECENT EVENTS IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE ALUMNI WORKERS COME TOGETHER TO DISCUSS OUR PLACE IN THE UNIVERSITY PICTURE —TO WORK OUT A PLAN FOR FUTURE GUIDANCE AND PRESENT OUR CONVICTIONS TO UNIVERSITY AUTHORITIES—YOU WILL HEAR MORE OF THIS LATER—BUT PLEASE RESERVE THE DATE NOW—WE NEED YOUR COUNSEL—YOURS CORDIALLY JOHN S ALLAN BS 27 LLB 30 PRESIDENT GENERAL ALUMNI ASSOC Shortly thereafter President Allan notified the invited delegates that the dinner will be held in Buffalo Consistory at 7 P.M. and that a frank symposium will be held, out of which should develop a platform for presentation to the university. As food for thought he listed ten questions which will shape the general lines of the discus-". sion. They include such important problems as athletics, public relations, and representation for out-of-town alumni. A critical question raised concerns the necessity for the existence of the General Alumni association. Best examples of alumni representation on official University of Buffalo bodies are the following: The University council, onethird of which, by statute, must be alumni (alumni members comprise the Alumni council) ; the Athletic council, the board of governors of the Student union (policy) and the board of managers of Norton hall (operation) which have two alumni members each. falo, president of the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce was included in the Top Ten Young Men of America for 1937, a list sponsored by America's Young Men, the who's who of male Americans under 40. The other nine: Edgar Bergen (Charlie McCarthy) ; Donald Budge (racquets) ; Thomas Dewey (rackets) ; William O. Douglas (SEC) ; Howard Hughes (aviation) ; Robert Hutchins (Chicago university) ; Franklin M. Kreml (traffic safety); Ernest O. Lawrence (atom-smashing) ; John Steinbeck {Of Mice and Men). Provides New Service A service rather novel in the professional field has been developed recently by M. Irving Chriswell, EdM '32, EdD '36. Assisted by Edwin H. Buchholtz, BA '37, Dr. Chriswell is offering vocational guidance to children on the eighth grade and high school levels.

Shea became dean of the Law school in 1936. Before he had spent one semester on Eagle street, the school had been placed on the American Bar association's approved list. A few weeks ago it was admitted to membership in the Association of American Law Schools. Thus Buffalo's third oldest school has received the acknowledgment of the two nationwide law school accrediting agencies. The Law school has a record of 50 years of notable achievement, but it has been deprived heretofore of the approval of these accrediting agencies because it lacked the full-time faculty members and library facilities included in their require- they adjourned they had a new president and a new vice president, both Buffalo graduates.

The school's steady and unquestionably significant development has been accelerated sharply within the last two years. Most notable has been the strengthening of the full-time teaching staff. There have been four new full-time professors—young men, but men with enviable records for their years. New courses and new teaching methods are emerging. Administrative law, legislation, legal history, taxation have been added to the curriculum. The seminar and the thesis have made their appearance. The library has been transformed under the management of a full-time librarian and trained lawyer. In the last year 4597 volumes have been added to the stacks. But the transofrmation has not been one primarily of materials. The library has become an intensive workshop, busy as a beehive from 9 in the morning until 10:30 at night. ——~—————————— IMMTTT— Is the time for all good Medical Men to " « ■'*'"'■■■ £lan for the 63rd ANNUAL MEETING and4th ANNUAL CLINICAL DAY OF THE I MEDICAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1938 I �UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 4 THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN Published monthly except July.

More stringent educational requirements, the appearance of the "Academy of tional associations are making the pharmacist more aware of his own importance. The public is catching on too. Radio gags about drug-clerks who went to college to learn how to make egg salad sandwiches are no longer sure-fire. Believing that HOBBIE '33 Buffalo-area professional men are ready for the next step in this direction, the Pharmacy school and the Pharmacy Alumni association plan an annual "Spring clinic" on the university campus. To inaugurate the new venture, a series of special lectures, demonstrations and discussions by outstanding authorities will be held Tuesday and Wednesday. April 19 and 20. All pharmacists of Western New York, whether Buffalo alumni or not, are invited to attend free of charge. "Other professional groups have held such meetings for years," Dean A. Bertram Lemon, PhG' 13, points out. "Like these other professions, the profession of pharmacy has been advancing rapidly, and it is hoped that the 'Spring clinic' will give the practicing pharmacist an opportunity for intensive study of some of the latest developments in both the professional and the commercial aspects of his field." The executive committee in charge of arrangements includes four faculty members and 15 representatives of the alumni association, of which John H. Hobbie, '33 is president. The list: Alumni representatives: John L. Allen, '32 (essays); Mr. Hobbie (reception); Mearl D. Pritchard, '21 (registration); Bertha J. Russo, '28 (luncheons); Alexander Slepian, '34 (class reunions); Paul - Big Conference to Bring Delegates from Other Colleges Liberal arts education at the University of Buffalo is 25 years old this year. It was in 1913 that a modest beginning on instrunction in the arts and sciences was made. The college has been gaining ground every year since and today its high place in the academic world is unquestioned. In celebration of that quarter of a century of university history, the college administration, faculty and alumni plan a joint anniversary party this spring. Tentatively set for May 14, it will consist of an all-day educational conference attracting college, university and secondary school personnel from many parts of New York state and contiguous territory, closing with the birthday banquet in the evening. First appointment made by Chancellor Capen was that of general chairman of the event. Selected was Dr. Augustus H. Shearer, who has been associated with the university for 20 years and is now director of the library science curriculum and professorial lecturer in history. President J. Keith Noye, BS '27 of the Arts Alumni association has agreed to stage his official party in connection with the May 14 celebration banquet, and members of the undergraduate body are considering ideas for participation in the festivities of the day.

Beside the trustees of the General Alumni association, whose president, John S. Allan, BS '27, LLB '30 had called the meeting, there were members of the Alumni council, members of the divisional alumni groups, members of the Alumni Club, Inc., members of five of the existing 13 branch alumni clubs, and a half-dozen specially invited non-alumni members of the faculty, including officers of the Athletic council and the faculty committee on policy and co-ordination of athletics. With the announced purpose of using this gathering to clarify the place of the alumni in the university picture and of laying foundations for a platform of future alumni activity, President Allan had prepared an agenda covering public relations, athletics, co-ordination of the various alumni groups and out-of-town alumni representation on Buffalo alumni bodies. Participants came in a spirit of helpfulness. Various points of view were aired. Interest mounted as the conference got down to bed rock on more than one problem. When the meeting was over there was a general feeling of accord among an assortment of groups which may not always have understood each other in the past. Said one guest: "We've made progress by finding a common starting point." To President Allan the establishment of understanding between alumni and unversity authorities is only the first step. Ahead still lies the tremendous task of creating a group consciousness among the alumni at large. There would follow the desire to appear well in the eyes of a world which is even now judging them by their service to their Alma Mater. From that desire would spring action. Toward that goal Alumnus Allan plans to move next by an attemp to draw the classes and the out-of-Buffalo groups closer to the General Alumni association. After an early canvass of their opinions, he believes work can be started on plank-hewing. better �3 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN S. A.

All lectures will begin at 4:30 P. M. in Foster hall. . Law Grads Reorganize Buffalo has been without an active Law Alumni association for several years. But the rumblings of desire for activity have been felt for the last twelvemonth. A preliminary committee meeting last summer empowered Morey C Bartholomew, '09 to act as chairman of a reorganization move. His first act was to call for class representation In the Buffalo club a fortnight ago assembled class delegates spreading from 1895 to 1937. They dined, listened to some addresses, then elected permanent BARTHOLOMEW '09 officers for the year Chairman Bartholomew they entrusted the management of l with the assistance of: Karl k, '08, vice president; Denis n, rOB, secretary; Myron S. Short, '08, treasurer; Christopher Baldy, '10, G. Thomas Ganim, '27, Philip Halpern, '23 and Edward C. Schlenker, '06, councillors. To most alumni of the Law school, Francis M. Shea, its new dean, is a stranger. Those who read their newspapers know that since he came on the scene, the school has achieved official recognition by the American Bar association and the Association of American Law Schools. That he has been thinking about constructive relationships between the school and its alumni became apparent at the meeting when he outlined a four-point program of co-operation between the two entities. Emphasizing the school's responsibility for extending educational opportunities to its graduates, his first three points were in that category, while his fourth called for a service from the alumni. The program: 1) A legal clinic by nationally eminent teachers and leaders of the profession, possibly to be held this spring with a 50th anniversary celebration of the school (founded 1887 as the Buffalo Law school, attached to the university in 1891)-2) Seminar courses on new developments in the law by members of the ■ faculty. 3) Publication of legal information in bulletin form for alumni only. 4) An alumr* -lacement committee for locating new graduates at livable salaries. On the last point Dean Shea's comment was: "If you take on this responsibility, many ills we now have at the bar will, i think, find their cure. I can vouch that if the class that goes out in June is given a decent chance for a decent living there will not be one crook, one 'ambulancechaser, not one anti-social figure in the lot". �4 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN Published monthly except July, August and September, by the University of Buffalo at 3435 Main Street, Buffalo, N.

Main attraction, so far as the visitors are concerned, is an all day educational conference led by five men prominent in the field. Theme NOYE '27 of the morning session is "The Regents' Inquiry into the Character and Cost of Public Education, as it may affect liberal arts colleges and secondary schools in this State." It will be the first public conference on a survey which took three years and which was completed only a few weeks ago. Speakers will be Buffalo's Chancellor Capen, who was co-director of the inquiry; Francis T. Spaulding, professor of education at Harvard university and director of the survey of secondary education in the inquiry, and John Lord O'Brian, LLB '98, chairman of the New York State Regents' committee on teacher education. Theme of the afternoon session is "Trends and Tendencies in Liberal Arts Education". Inevitably any discussion of developments in the last 25 years must include Buffalo, whose college stands near the top of the national list in number of outstanding improvements. Afternoon session speakers will be President Raymond A. Kent of the University of Louisville, on "The Past and the Present," and Harlan H. Homer, associate commissioner for higher education. University of the State of New York, on "The Present and the Future". Final event will be the Silver Jubilee banquet, with which is combined the 18th annual dinner of the Arts Alumni association. Main speaker will be Clarence S. Marsh, former dean of the School of Business Administration, now vice-president of the American Council on Education in - Washington, D. C. There will be tributes from Dr. Robert T. Bapst, superintendent of Buffalo's school system; Dr. Harry W. Rockwell, president of the Buffalo State Teachers college; J. Keith Noye, BS '27, president of the alumni association and others. Toastmaster will be Dr. John T. Horton, BA '26. Alumni officers for 1938-39 will be elected. Guest of honor, of course, will be Dean Julian Park, who was part of the original faculty of 1913 and who has seen the college through its first quarter of a century. General chairman of the day is Dr. Augustus H. Shearer, director of the Library Science curriculum, professorial lecturer in history and librarian of Grosvenor library, who has been on the college faculty for 20 years. His assistants are: Dr. L. Grant Hector and William G. Cook. BS '27, executive committee; Associate Professor C. Merrill Brown, exhibits; Dr. Edward G. Schauroth and Dr. Henry Ten Eyck Perry, hospitality; Dean Park, invitations and program; Assistant Professor Carlos E. Harrington, MS '25, signs; Dr. Harriet F. Montague, BS '27, MA '29, auditorium; Dr. Annemarie M. Sauerlander, BA '28, MA '30, luncheon; Waring A. Shaw, BA '31, jubileebanquet. The students are represented by Talman W. Van Arsdale Jr.. president of the Class of '38, president of the Arts college Student council and son of Talman W. Van Arsdale Sr„ LLB '18. An extra fillip to the occasion will be the appearance at the banquet table of Dean Park's new 25-year history of the college, which is now in publication. It is safe to predict that it will include mention of that first faculty: Albert P. Sy, PhD '08 and Walter M. Ralph, chemistry; M. Smith Thomas, AC '14, BA '32 and James Cadwell, physics; Lester B. Gary and Rosa R. Weigand, biology; Wilfred H. Sherk, mathematics; Philip Becker Goetz, English; Felix Casassa and Dr. Park, French; William Oncken, German; Peter Gow, Latin, and John Oppie McCall, DDS '04, secretary of the courses. It is safe to predict that it will include mention of the classrooms in the Medical and Dental school buildings, in the Sidway building at Main and Goodell streets, and in Townsend hall; of the migration COLLEGE'S DEAN PARK His 25-year history is in publication to the new campus in 1922, the occupancy of Foster and Science halls, and finally of Edmund Hayes hall. It is safe to predict that it will include mention of that first graduating class of 1920: Annis E. Fox (now Mrs. Harry Wander); Randolph S. Linderman and Anna C. Ulrich, with James C. Blair, MD '22, the first bachelor of science in medicine. Today there are 1582 degree-holders living, plus enough shorter course certificate-holders to put the total well over 1800. With all this for background, alumni, faculty, students and guests will have ample opportunity to speculate pleasantly about what the next 25 years will bring. 1933 Law Class Meets Former Law Dean Carlos C. Alden and Dean Francis M. Shea were guests of honor at a reunion dinner of the Law Class of 1933 last month in Buffalo's Riviera restaurant. General chairman was Charles W. Schohl. Edmund J.

Mitchell, LLB '97, present chairman of the council, and now hang in the council chambers in Edmund Hayes hall. They show in chronological order the university's leaders since its founding. Here is the list: Millard Fillmore, chancellor, 1846-74; Orsamus H. Marshall, council president, 1856-84, chancellor, 1882-84; Dr. Thomas F. Rochester, vice chancellor, 1882-87; E.

New York and Washington Clubs Meet Informality keynoted the annual meeting of the New York Dental Alumni association a few weeks ago in Gotham's Hotel Pennsylvania. There were no speeches, the program consisting of brief remarks by prominent members of the group, followed by entertainment. In the election, David B. Jacobs, '18, of Far Rockaway, N. V.t was chosen president to JACOBS '18 succeed Morgan S. Smith, '22, of Lawrence. Bernard Katzenstein of Manhattan was elected secretary. President-elect Jacobs is chief dental con- MA '30 and lima Lester McGrath, BA '29. Dr. McGrath, who is assistant to the chancellor, is on leave of absence as research assistant to Dr. George F. Zook, president of the American Council on Education. Twenty graduates were present, including Clifford M. Carter, AC '24 and Sara Rice Carter, BA '23, of Baltimore. Planned for early May is another dinner with Dean Julian Park of the College of Arts and Sciences as guest speaker. Council Election Near Students Add to Fund Alumni month will choose three representatives on the University council. Notification to that effect went out to all graduates from the office of Council Secretary Philip Becker Goetz several weeks ago and nominations are now coming in. One alumnus will be chosen for the Athletic council at the same time, according to notices sent by Shaw Livermore, next secretary. University councilors whose terms expire this year are George G. Davidson, Jr., LLB '97; Griffith G. Pritchard, DDS '18 and Herbert A. Smith, MD '07. The Athletic council member ending his is Lester S. Knapp, MD '27. Dr. Knapp has asked his friends not to nominate him again, because of increasing conflict with his professional and teaching duties. He withdraws with a long record of able service behind him. A one-time football captain, he served five years as assistant varsity and freshman coach, and sat on the Athletic council ever since his term graduation. It is emphasized that voters should vote for exactly three candidates for the University council, and each of the three must be a graduate of a different division. Noncompliance with these simple rules will make a ballot void. The complete list of nominees, with biographical sketches and blank ballots, will be mailed to voters early in May. Bequeaths Law Books The Law school is named as recipient of the law library of the late Frank S. Sidway, LLB '94, who died in January. It contains more than 1000 volumes of reports and important texts, many of them now out of print. They will be set up as a memorial collection in the Law school library. sultant of St. Joseph's hospital, New York, and past commander of the Far Rockaway post of the American Legion. Guests of honor at the monthly dinner of the Washington Alumni club early in April were Dr. Earl J. McGrath, BA '28, Insisting that they be given the right to add their bit to the Alumni Swimming Pool fund, students a few weeks ago held a benefit dance in Norton hall. Officially sponsored by the freshmen and sophomore classes, the event netted $25 which is added to this month's figures. The total number of gifts is now 1569, aggregating $10,933-55.

Communications should be addressed to Verol Reger, Norton hall. after the explosion Tragedy struck swiftly on the university campus one morning last month. When Maintenance Man Albert C. Duckwitz opened the only door to the compartment under the stairs of the Lockwood Memorial library, he was greeted by a burst of flames. The accompanying explosion dislodged the huge limestone blocks and tipped them over like so many lumps of sugar. Mr. Duckwitz was rushed to the hospital where he died two days later. Cause of the blast is believed to be an accumulation of natural gas, which abounds in the rock stratum under the campus. What actually set it ablaze is still undetermined. Most fortunate aspect of the accident was the time—7:ss A. M. Another hour would have seen dozens of students using the library stairs. Damage is estimated at $2500. manent Who Said Recession? recession, Despite the current business second-semester enrollment in Millard Fillmore college, the university's downtown division, shows an increase of 215 students over the same period ast year.

From Buffalo late last month went out the announcement of a new "Work-Study plan" under which the university and a group of co-operating employers of the area will put educational opportunities in the hands of able young men and women. According to the terms of the plan, qualified students will receive a reduction in tuition of 14 2/3 per cent, will be enrolled for five years instead of four, and will be employed by pairs on the basis of alternating four-month stretches of work and study. Dr. Lewis A. Froman, dean of Millard Fillmore college, will be director of the Work-Study plan, with Norman Burns, BS (Bus) "29, assistant director. "Every year a number of especially able graduates of Buffalo high schools find it impossible to continue their education in a college or a university," Chancellor Capen pointed out in announcing the plan, "because they cannot meet the tuition fees and other charges. The admissions officers of the University of Buffalo every year come in contact with many such students. The university's regular scholarship funds are limited. They do not suffice to meet the necessities of all of the superior students who would like to attend the university but cannot afford to do so." The students participating in the plan will fill jobs in pairs. While one member of the pair works, the other will attend school. At the end of four months they will change places. During the four months of work, the student will attend Millard Fillmore college (the downtown division of the university) one or two nights a week. Each participant will be free every other summer to attend the sTx-week Summer session. Because the university wishes to help those young high school graduates of exceptional ability who are financially handicapped and because the opportunities for employment are limited, a candidate must be in the highest fifth of his graduating class, and must offer evidence that his means are insufficient to enable him to pay the regular tuition. Many business and industrial concerns are co-operating on the plan. The univer- COUNCIL May, 1938 New Tufts President to Speak Here Degrees and Certificates Total 450 From 1875 until his death in 1905, the Rev. Elmer Hewitt Capen was president of Tufts college. In 1898 his son, Samuel P. Capen, received his bachelor's degree there. In 1921 Samuel P. Capen was being considered for the chancellorship of the University of Buffalo, and Leonard Carmichael was getting his bachelor's degree from Tufts. Today Dr. Carmichael is dean of the faculty of arts and sciences at the University of Rochester. Next fall he will assume the presidency of Tufts college. DR. CABMICHAEL Thus there is than passing interest in the fact that Dr. Carmichael will deliver the main address at Buffalo's 92nd Commencement on June 8. Additional reasons include his prominence in the field of psychology where he is well known for his research in the development of behavior. He holds a PhD from Harvard, has taught at Princeton and Brown universities, has been visitmore sity's contribution is a tuition scholarship of $220 for the five-year course. Unfortunately, a participant in the plan cannot hope to be self-supporting. His wages, however, may be sufficient to cover his tuition and all other expenses except room and board. Thus, participation in the plan will in most cases be possible only for residents of the Niagara area. The Work-Study students may enroll in either the College of Arts and Sciences or the School of Business Administration. Although the general idea is not new, the Buffalo plan differs from that at Antioch, Gncinnati and other colleges in three important ways: 1) It is limited to students who could not otherwise afford college; 2) It includes only students who were in the highest fifth of their high school graduating class; 3) Its work period is set at four months so as to fit in with the semester plan, whereas in other colleges it runs from eight to 11 weeks. ing professor at Harvard and Clark. His on June 8: "On Expecting the Wrong Things from Education." Buffalo graduation exercises have been held for years in Elmwood Music hall. That vast and creaking edifice was condemned by engineers last winter. So this year's graduating class will receive its 450 diplomas and certificates amidst the mystic splendor of Buffalo Consistory. The formal list of Commencement season events follows: Sunday, June 5. 4 P.M., Baccalaureate exercises, Edmund Hayes hall, address by Chancellor Capen; Monday, June 6, 4 to 6 P.M., reception to Library Science seniors, alumni and faculty by Dr. Augustus H. Shearer, director of the curriculum, and Mrs. Shearer. Tuesday, June 7, 12:30 P.M., luncheon and reception to Pharmacy seniors by the Buffalo Academy of Pharmacy at Tuyn's subject restaurant, 147 North street; 4 to 6 P.M., reception to the University council, graduating class, alumni and faculty by Chancellor and Mrs. Capen, Twentieth Century club, 595 Delaware avenue. Wednesday, June 8, 10:30 A.M., 92nd annual Commencement, Buffalo Consistory; 4 to 6 P.M., reception to Education seniors by the Alumni in Education, Norton hall. Bequeaths Salary Fund Scarce indeed are the patrons of arts and letters who think, not of bigger and better facilities, but of the stipend of the toooften forgotten teacher. Surprised were many observers therefore to learn recently that Mrs. Sarah N. McArthur of Buffalo had died leaving a will establishing a fund for salaries of the university's instructional staff. The will makes specific bequests of approximately $100,000 to relatives, friends and charitable organizations, the remainder to become the "George P. and Sarah N. McArthur fund" for the university. The exact sum will not be known until the estate is settled. Says the will in reference to the university fund: "I believe that such salaries and compensations are frequently inadequate." �UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 2 New Honorary Fraternity Lists Out Sixteen Alumni on Spring Selections honor.

CBOSBY IN MAYTIME A cross-campus view of the School of Business Administration building �ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN J Unusual Alumni Activity Makes Busy Spring They use the word "recession" in talking about current business conditions. Its antonym, "affluxion" aptly describes Buf- falo alumni affairs this spring. There has been an almost steady flow of thought and effort in the general direction of Alma Mater, and that flow has not ceased yet. This is especially true of divisional alumni groups, some of which are showing startling activity. Pharmacy As though stimulated by one of the elixirs sought by their alchemist predecessors, members of the Pharmacy Alumni association showed unexpected interest in their First Annual Spring clinic, held in mid-April. A total of 192 persons registered during the two days of lectures and demonstrations in Foster hall. They heard about vitamin products, sick room supplies, cosmetics, prescriptions and stream lined selling. They met and listened to J. Leon Lascoff, president-elect of the American Pharmaceutical association and Edgar S. Bellis, president of the New York State Pharmaceutical association. They met for dinner, saw the Gregory Memorial award for outstanding service to the profession go to Harry J. Dimond, non-graduate proprietor of a Buffalo drug store, and elected the following officers for 1938-39: President, J. Sinclair Hill, '26, Niagara Falls; first vice president, Carleton P. Vernier, '33, Buffalo; second vice president, J. Raymond Bressler, '20, Rochester; secretary, Magdalene T. Schnabel, '22, Buffalo; treasurer, William H. Young, 25, Buffalo. Retiring President John H. Hobbie. '33 was elected a trustee of the General Alumni association. Medicine Since they switched their annual meeting date from June to April, the members of the Medical Alumni association are coming to regard an attendance of 500 as not unusual. This year's registration was up to expectation. On the clinical program were seven experts in various fields of medicine, including one Nobel prize winner. On the program of the 63rd anniversary banquet was Indiana's Representative Samuel B. Pettingill, onetime New Deal Democrat now at odds with the Administration. On the program of the luncheon and business meeting was an election of officers for the next two years. Theresults: President, George E. Slotkin, 11; vice president, Frank N. Potts, '12; Gets Rate Collection The Lockwood Memorial library has become the only depository in the world for a rare collection of manuscripts, notes and books of 120 modern English poets. They were procured by Librarian Charles D. Abbott during a recent three-month visit to England under sponsorship of the Car- secretary-treasurer, Louis A. Siegel, '23. The new president succeeds Francis D. Leopold, '14. Business Business Administration alumni hold clinics during the year, but save their annual banquet for non-professional enjoyment. This year's speaker was Ivan Hekimian, MD '27, onetime officer in the wartime Turkish army, onetime secret service agent in the wartime British army. Only one-half of his experiences in the Near East could be squeezed into the hour allotted him. Unanimous was the demand that he return some day to tell the other half. Elected to office for next year were: President, Robert E. Rich, '35; first vice president, Harold C. Walter, '35; second vice president, Norman I. Peterson, '37; secretary-treasurer, Marshall K. Stoll (Ed) '36. To the GAA Board of Trustees goes Richard W. Collard, '35. Alumnae Because they wanted to throw their support to the 25th anniversary celebration of the Arts college (see below) the University of Buffalo Alumnae called off their dinner this year. But the directors had their annual dinner meeting at which they elected these officers: President, Dorothy M. Caldwell, LLB '36; vice president, Virginia N. Kerr, BA '33; treasurer, Olga E. Murray, BA '30. New GAA trustee is Helen G. Walker, MD '28. Arts To participate in the Silver Jubilee of College of Arts and Sciences, scores of the delegates of colleges and universities of the East assembled in Norton hall on May 14. The total registration (upwards of 300) included secondary school persons interested in the educational conference which had been arranged, as well as alumni back for the day. That evening, in a dazzling atmosphere of silver, blue and white, the celebration got down to local matters. Tributes were poured on the university, the college, Chancellor Capen, Dean Julian Park. Graduates saw themselves well able to take pride in their college's phenomenal rise, well able to show optimism about the next quarter- John S. Allan, BS '27, LLB '30. Education The Alumni in Education have confined their regular assemblies to receptions for graduates on the university's two commencement days. This year they essayed an evening dinner, scored a distinct success, determined to repeat it. Not abandoned however, was the June reception, at which next year's officers will be chosen. Law In preparation was probably the year's most ambitious undertaking—a law institute to last a whole week, starting May 23. Dean Francis M. Shea and Law Alumni President Morey C. Bartholomew, LLB '09 evolved a program of nightly lectures to be climaxed on the trustee, closing day, May 28, with a banquet to celebrate the founding of the Buffalo Law school, which was established in 1887, graduated its first class in 1889, became part of the university in 1891. century. Elected to office for next year by the alumni association were: President, Waring A. Shaw, BA '31, to succeed J. Keith Noye, BS '27; vice president, Clara Marquardt, BA '31; secretary, Alice F.

Beyer, BS (Bus) "32 has been having a little fun at the university's expense since his arrival this spring in China where he is employed by Spencer Kellogg & Sons of Canada, Ltd. A few weeks ago the Alumni office received from him a package of beer coasters which he had discovered in a Shanghai hotel, advertising (in blue and white) a brew known as "UB Beer." Now come snapshots taken in Hankow, temporary capital of China, where he will be located for a year. After pleasant comments on their import (see cut) he gets down to business. An excerpt: "We've had eight air raids since I've been here. Three at least were ultra spectacular with much bombing, noise, smoke and excitement. "Night raids are almost beautiful with the darkened city and the stabs of prying searchlights illuminating the raiding planes as they dart across the sky. Anti-aircraft bursts keep the show lively." Rich NewFrosh Mentor Robert E. Rich, BS (Bus) '35, new president of the Business Administration Alumni association (see page 3), last month was appointed freshman football coach at the university starting in September. The new instructor of the Baby Bulls is no novice at coaching. Captain of the varsity teams of 1y33-34, he took on the mentors assignment at Buffalo's Riverside high school after graduation. That year he turned out one of the greatest secondary school teams in the East which swept through the season undefeated and almost untied.

The total was fast short of last years record ngure of 436. Into the majestic auditorium of the Buffalo Consistory strode the participants in the university's biggest annual spectacle. They stood with bowed heads as the Rev. Raymond P. Murray, counsellor for Catholic students, pronounced the invocation; they sang "America." then settled down to hear Chancellor Capen's introduction of the new president of Tufts college. Dr. Leonard Carmichael. whose address bore the title: On Expecting the Wrong Things from Education." "When you buy a new automobile." Dr. Carmichael began, "you do not expect it to be able to take off into the clouds if you race it down the runway of an airport. An unabridged dictionary contains all the words of Shakespeare's plays, but you are not disappointed if you cannot read Macbeth in your Webster. "But it is different with education. A man may study Reimannian geometry or read Aristophanes and Juvenal and then be considered by the most conservative judges to be fitted, without further training, to administer at least a very small British colony. "On every side, we are told that our universities are failing because they are not producing citizens whose aggressive action will lead to the triumph of the critic's own favorite good cause. The college man is supposed to be technically competent in his chosen field and at the same time to be an intelligent volunteer social worker and an irradiating center of ornamental culture. Milton's famous definition of education as that which fits a man to perform justly, skilfully and magnanimously all the offices, both private and public, of peace and war' is still quoted favorably and not in the How's That Again? Department" of the New Yorker.'' Reasoning that education can only build on the foundation which the student's heredity and environment have already laid, the speaker set his hearers straight on some of the things education can give: Real and serviceable information; a certain amount of mental training; new horizons and a tolerance for attitudes and ideas unlike those of pre-college years; assistance in finding a more satisfactory place in society. "Our graduating classes" he concluded, "may not be composed of social philosophers, but I for one believe that one good brain surgeon is worth more to the race than a dozen lovers of mankind at a verbal and abstract level. The precious heritage of the ever growing but necessarily esoteric cultural tradition is therefore yearly maintained by our universities. The future of this process seems bright, provided only that those who expect the wrong things from education do not succeed in deflecting our institutions of higher learning from their proper work. This is not the 19th century. Optimism is out of vogue. But at the risk of being called old-fashioned, may I suggest that if formal education can be allowed to go on about its proper business, a cure may even sometime be discovered for a world which now seems mentally rather than physically ill." Amid salvos of applause Dr. Capen then presented the following diplomas and certificates: Bachelor of arts, 92; doctor of medicine, 56; bachelor of laws, 45; nursing certificate, 41; bachelor of science (business administration), 36; bachelor of science in library science, 26; doctor of dental surgery, 25; graduate in pharmacy, 22; graduate certificate in social work, 22; bachelor of science in education, 19; master of education, 15; master of arts, ten; bachelor of science in nursing, five; diploma in business, five; master of science in medicine, four; bachelor of science in pharmacy, three; certificate in engineering, two; doctor of philosophy, two; certificate in library science, one. Then the new alumni stood, sang Philip Becker Goetz' "Chorale," heard Father Murray's benediction, faced about and stepped from the darkening hall into the bright, new world. The university's 92nd year was officially ended. Where Are They Now?

The first part of mine was lived in a period of comparative stability. Change, rapid and often violent, is all that you have ever known: war, boom, depression, partial recovery, renewed depression ; the rise of new forms of tyranny in Europe; the rape of China, of Ethiopia, of Austria; threats and posturings of dictators; challenges to our system of government and social organization by hostile forces from without and by self-seekers from within; ill-considered reform executed under pressure of fear; loss of jobs and savings; the weakening of all sanctions patriotic, financial, moral, religious; everything in flux. Perhaps something like this is all you will ever know. I do not prophesy; nobody can safely prophesy. But it is possible that the tempo of change has so quickened that civilized man is condemned hereafter to live in the midst of alarms and excursions such as our fathers had to face only once in a lifetime, or not at all. And, of course, it is also possible that what you have seen is but one phase of a great convulsion of society, comparable with the collapse of the Roman empire or the breakdown of the feudal system. No one can say as yet whether this is the case. If so, certainly no one now living could set the date for the end of the convulsion, or foretell whether or not it will be followed by a period of relative stability. But even if it is unsafe to prophesy, it is permitted to hazard a guess. My guess is that the kind of conditions you have had to live in are substantially the kind of conditions you will continue to live in; that social and economic arrangements will continue to be subject to change without notice; that you can expect no security and no stability, from now to the end of your lives. My reasons for believing so are these. Mankind's hold on civilization has always been very tenuous. Civilization is not natural to the human race. It is an acquired habit; hard to acquire and easy to lose. Men have reverted to an uncivilized condition time and again; sometimes only within a limited geographical area, sometimes on a wholesale scale. They have so reverted now to an extent that might be described as wholesale. In making this assertion I am under obligation to say what I mean by civilization. My definition may not be yours. You cannot find it in the dictionary. Nevertheless, I think it will stand up. Civilization I take to be more than a collection of arts and technologies which lift men's lives above the level of sheer animal functioning. We may have arts and technologies with no civilization. Civilization I understand to be, in addition to arts and technologies, a mode of collective behavior — Volunteers which guarantees continuity of status to individuals and groups. For example, war makes use of the most advanced technologies and of many arts, but war is not civilization. Nobody has ever claimed it to be. not even the most ardent militarists. Efforts made from time to time during the last two centuries to establish rules for socalled civilized warfare have proved utterly abortive. The rules have always been disregarded by combatants. When nations otherwise civilized wage war, they become uncivilized, at least in so far as their war enterprise is concerned. In war there is no guarantee of continuity of status. Such guarantee depends upon agreements. The agreements may not provide for justice. They may perpetuate gross injustices. They may be kept in force by fear or by a feeling of hopelessness on the part of those who do not like them, but as long as they exist they produce order and, as I have said, continuity of status. Thus there have been despotisms that exhibited a high degree of civilization and there have been and are republics partly or wholly uncivilized. We have been accustomed to speak of the civilized world. What did we mean by that? We meant that part of the world in which nations lived in a more or less stable equilibrium with relation to one another. The equilibrium might be maintained by alliances, by balances of power, by fear of disaster on the part of those who could see advantages in disturbing it, or by the honorable observance of contracts between governments. But it was maintained. Whenever it was disturbed there was widespread dismay and pains were taken to restore it again as soon as possible. It seems to me patent that what your parents used to think of as the civilized world has collapsed. When the famous scrap of paper was torn up in 1914 the collapse began. The civilized world, so-called, was certainly very uncivilized during the four succeeding years. Something like an equilibrium was very shakily restored for a few years after 1919. But that has now vanished. Stark brutality, the law of tooth and claw, now rules almost half the earth. Within this half of the earth persons, classes, nations, and whole races have no security, no rights, no defense, no effective champion, and, of course, no prospect of continuity of status. All agreements are suspended. Moreover with the countries that compose this half of the world, there is no possibility of civilized dealing. Their word is not good. They recognize no obligation as binding if it happens to conflict with the expediency of the moment. They understand but one language, the language of force. I repeat, the civilized world that my generation knew, and the generations ahead of it, is gone. It has shrunk to something like half its size. The half that is left is on the defensive, fearful of further shrinkage. It is difficult for me—and perhaps for you—to describe the present situation in the parts of the world that have become uncivilized, in terms that do not sound like an indictment. But I am not drawing up an indictment. I wish simply to remind you of facts that are generally admitted and, if I can, to bring them to a focus. Indeed, it seems to me possible to sum up under a single generalization the nature of the present dislocation of what was formerly the civilized world; the dislocation that is characterized by undeclared wars, East and West; by vague but terrifying threats of further wars; by persecutions, massacres and purges: by almost unparalleled mass cruelty; by broken pledges, dictatorships and all the rest. If I am right the generalization has peculiar importance for us who are Americans and especially for those Americans who are members of a university. I submit my generalization for your consideration. Mankind has trusted to two agencies to govern its collective actions. The agencies are: principle and personality. Historically the order was reversed. Primitive men apparently knew nothing of principle. They put their faith in personalities, in leaders. The chief or king who possessed superior strength or who could command it, or who was more intelligent than his fellows, was their instrument for co-ordinating groups of human beings and enabling them to achieve collective purposes. The king might rule by love or fear or both. He ruled, however, and his will was law—all the law there was. It took mankind many ages to evolve the conception of a law that stood outside of and above the king. At first such law was very limited in scope. The king's will was checked only as it applied to a few interests of individuals or groups. A few things the king could not do. A few privileges he had to grant. But when that conception was established, principle appeared as a means for controlling the collective concerns of the peoples. I do not need to remind you of the century-long conflict between principle and the king's will. On one national stage or another it has lasted down to today. I am only asking you to recall the gradual triumph of principle through the ages. It has not been an uninterrupted triumph. In the republics of Athens and Rome principle displaced personality as the director of the destinies of the state, and was then in its turn displaced; and for centuries submerged. But from the end of the Middle Ages down to yesterday principle continued �4 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO throned not only in the seats of physical power, but enthroned in the people's very minds. The impulse to surrender principle is contagious. It spreads like panic. People distant from the place where it starts are swept by it. The virus emanating from the nations which have abandoned principle has already affected many of the adjacent countries. Even in remoter countries where principle is still dominant, our own country for example, traces of the contagion are evident. There is a new and disturbing tendency to magnify personal government, to cast collective burdens upon some leader, to view with complacency proposals aimed to place the leader above the law. So much for my generalization. I offer to you for two purposes: first, as a simplified explanation of the rapid series of confusing events which you have witnessed during your later school years, and second, as a warning. I wish I could give my warning the imperative quality of the French battle cry at Verdun: "They shall not pass!'" For it is my solemn belief that a world crisis now impends more pregnant with universal disaster than any that has occurred within the course of modern history. If principle should be everywhere eclipsed as the agency that controls and unites the activities of peoples, then the Dark Ages would be here again. Then would the world be given over to a barbarism more terrible and more generally oppressive than any of which we have record, because the instruments in the hands of the ruling personalities are infinitely more potent than those which the barbarians of old commanded. In Russia and Italy and Germany we have already seen how these instruments can be used. What defense is there against this threatened calamity? I see but one. It is the preservation of the integrity of democracy. Of course, it is possible that the democratic states, or some of them, may be attacked by force of arms. It is even possible that another general conflict cannot be averted. However, when I speak of preserving the integrity of democracy I have something else in mind than the protection of the democratic nations, or any one of them, from physical aggression. The word that I would stress is integrity. Democracy is the only form of government that has yet been put into effect anywhere which rests uncompromisingly upon principle. It is only where principle is dominant that the individual has rights. Democratic government was devised primarily to protect these rights; the right to life, the right to liberty, the right to property. Democracy makes the law supreme. It places no dependence upon personality. It recognizes no rulers. Its official leaders are servants of the law. The agencies for the administration of justice are set beyond the reach of those who may be temporarily invested with the task of leadership, lest they attempt to use their temporary authority to acquire personal power or to make their will prevail over the law. Democracy does it HOLY WARRIORS ? "It will be a bard crusade and a long one. Perhaps you will lire to win ground in almost all the nations of the Western world with few and relatively brief setbacks. Despotisms turned into lim- ited monarchies. Monarchies became republics. Hereditary ruling classes that enjoyed some of the prerogatives of kings were stripped of privileges that placed them beyond the law. Courts amenable to no rule were established to interpret principle and apply it to all the manifold conflicts of citizens, and to conflicts between citizens and the rulers themselves. The great democracies came into being, dedicated to the proposition that only laws duly enacted by the people's representatives—that is, only principle—and never the will of a leader should direct the people's concerns, or have authority over the individual. This movement, a grand epochal movement almost cosmic in its extent, made steady progress, I say, down to yesterday. Yesterday it was abruptly checked. In many nations where principle had gained a precarious foothold, it was suddenly repudiated. Now the king's will is once more the only sanction. To be sure, the king usually bears another title. He may be a General Secretary, or a Fuehrer, or a President. But whatever he is called, he is a king in the ancient sense of the word. I would not leave the impression that any people's reliance upon personality for the conduct of its affairs is always, or perhaps ever, absolute. The human race seems to have an insatiable hunger for principle. Since before the Christian era, few kings have dared to stake their tenure of kingship on personality alone. They have buttressed their position by some doctrine which appears to furnish a justification for their most tyrannical and capricious acts. The Roman Emperors were gods, and as divinities beyond the question of mere mortals. The Japanese Emperor is likewise the Son of Heaven. The dogma of the divine right of kings covered the arbitrary deeds of European monarchs during many cen- to see the rescue." turies and provided their subjects with something to revere beyond the often unimpressive person of the king. Therefore, it is not surprising that the new kings of yesterday and today rely not on personality alone, but upon some kind of bogus principle of which they feign to be the instruments; for example, the doctrine of the supremacy of a racially pure state, the fiction of a workers' commonwealth, the theory of the corporative state, the mystical conception of the leader as the embodiment of the people's will. Let us not deceive ourselves. These moddoctrines, designed to satisfy the universal appetite for principle, are infinitely more effective with the subjects of the modern kings than were ever the dogmas which helped to sustain the ancient kingships. For the modern kings have discovered a new technique of enslavement. It is education, education on such a grand scale as has never before been attempted since the beginning of human history. They do not call it education, or at least they do not apply that name to all of it. The major part of it they call propaganda, and that is a much more accurate designation. But whatever it is called, no one, young or old, can escape it. It follows everyone from the cradle to the grave, forever dinning into all ears the prescribed views, forever proclaiming what can and cannot be believed, assaulting the senses, lashing the emotions, stultifying the mind. In America we are inclined to boast of the large sums of public and private money annually spent for education. I venture the assertion—nobody knows the facts—that the outlay for schools plus the outlay for propaganda in either the Communist or the Fascist states would, if the sums were disclosed, make our own educational expenditures seem niggardly by comparison. And the scheme works. Personality is enthroned at the expense of principle, with the aid of what is made to look like principle; enern �ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN allow its temporary leaders to tax the people or to determine the ways in which derived from taxation is to be spent. not money Leaders are not allowed to molest an individual who is obnoxious to them. They may not prevent individuals or groups from expressing opposition by word of mouth or in print. Their official lives are lived on sufferance. Under stated conditions they may be retired. The fact that democracy officially takes no account of personality does not mean that it has no need of leadership, or that it under-rates leadership. It means that leadership in a democracy is qualitatively different from leadership in any other kind of political organism. It is not secured through the exercise of force, and it cannot be perpetuated except by popular consent. It rests on the confidence of the majority of the people, confidence inspired by the leader's record of performance. Democracy recognizes no classes among its citizens. It recognizes no distinctions as between races. It authorizes no discrimination and no special privileges. Its basic assumption is equality, not equality of native ability, for there is no such thing, bjut equality of opportunity and equality before the law. No doubt some of you are thinking that the democracy in which you live does not consistently adhere to these fundamental propositions. And you are right. You have seen many violations of them. You have seen leaders, local and national, ignore the restrictions which the democratic theory properly places upon them and seek to establish personal dominion over individuals, over the expenditure of public money, and even over the processes of the law. You have seen the free expression of opinion denied, when it happens to be unpalatable to elected officials or to organized groups within the body politic. You have seen the right to liberty invaded and the right to property nullified with the connivance of government officials. You have seen gross examples of race discrimination. You have seen peaceable assemblies of citizens forcibly broken up both by agents of government and by aggregations of terrorists acting in the name of patriotism or of some class advantage. If your ears have been acute, you have heard over and over again the specious argument, the argument employed by tyranny everywhere, that the end justifies the means, even though the means may be utterly repugnant to the processes of democracy. Whenever and in so far as any of these things occur the integrity of democracy is impaired. Are these matters your concern? I say they are your first concern, more important than the work you will presently engage in, or the marriage to which you may be looking forward. For if the integrity of American democracy is seriously undermined, the mainstay of what is left of the civilized world gives way. I do not need to argue that point. I assume you will concede it without argument. What can you do to preserve that integrity? Much. Every one 5 of us can do much. We can watch and think and talk when our talk may be unpopular and write, and on occasions we can vote. If I could have my heart's desire I would enlist you all in a new crusade. It will be a hard crusade and a long one. It will be no quick or easy task to rescue the Holy Sepulchre out of the hands of the infidel. Perhaps you will live to see the rescue, perhaps not. But what matter? The goal is worth striving for, more worth striving for than any other goal toward which humanity aspires. It is often said that the present generation in all the democratic lands, and particularly the young people, no longer have a unifying faith; that they perceive no cause outside themselves, greater than themselves, for which they are willing to suffer and to sacrifice. If that be true, it need not remain true. The cause is there. If we do not recognize it, that is because it is clothed in abstract words like "democracy" and "principle" and "popular sovereignty," words such as I have been using, words so hackneyed and familiar that they slide across the surface of our minds leaving no impression. But these words can be infused with life. They must be once again infused with life. The cause is there, once more dynamic and moving as it was a century and a half ago, once more the great cause, worthy of every sacrifice, fit object of an undying faith. It calls for the devotion of all men and women of intelligence and good will. With special insistence it calls to us who are life members of this free and democratic university.

He spent the last three years as a graduate instructor at Yale. summa view of one of Norton hall's four comfortable, eye-filling lounges �6 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO As the battle over academic freedom rages, a statement of the views of a onetime Secretary of the Treasury is published. It was written by the late Ogden L. Mills to a friend at Harvard, and is reprinted from the University of Chicago Magazine. Academic Freedom as One Man Saw It Dear Meredith: I have been thinking over our conversation with reference to the reluctance of some Harvard men to contribute to the Tercentenary Endowment fund because of alleged radicalism in the university, and of the outside activities of certain members of the faculty. The more I think of it. the more I am satisfied that such an attitude is unjustified. As I understand it, the outside activities complained of consist of unofficial participation in the formulation of those policies of government which have come to be known as the "New Deal." and more particularly of the advocacy of certain measures that in the opinion of many run counter to the form and spirit of our institutions. No one has opposed these measures more strongly than I have, or been more critical of much of the New Deal. But, if a member of the Harvard faculty is called upon to advise his Government, I can not for the life of me see what else he can do save respond. And surely, if he does advise, he must speak according to his own conscience and convictions. Certainly he should not endeavor to present what he conceives to be the views of the corporation or the alumni. He has no right to speak for them. He is not in any sense their representative. He is acting outside the scope of his professional duties, and in his own time, as a private citizen whose opinion is valued by those in authority. A teacher has as much right to engage in outside activities, and to express his views on public questions, as any other professional man. That his views may not coincide with those of a governing board, or do violence to the convictions of the great body of graduates, may be unfortunate, but to ask him to remain silent unless his opinions conform to theirs, would be to limit his right as a citizen, to deprive him of part of his liberty and to impose humiliating restrictions unacceptable to independent and high-minded men. Any university attempting to enforce such a censorship would soon cease to attract preeminent men who combine independence of mind with sound scholarship, the very men who bring it strength and vitality. It would thus pay a penalty so heavy as to make any temporary embarrassment or irritation occasioned by the words or activities of an individual, however imprudent, seem comparatively trivial. I recognize, of course, that by saying things which may shock public sentiment, a professor can do great harm to the institution with which he is connected. However, good taste, a sense of the proprieties, and the influence of his colleagues can be relied upon to exercise a restraining influence. Should these fail, even so, I am sure that as compared with unfair and humiliating restrictions, and their inevitable consequences, the temporary embarrassment is the lesser of two evils. There is a point, however, at which exception can be taken to the outside activities of a member of the faculty, that is when they interfere with his work, or it becomes apparent that they constitute a primary rather than an incidental interest, and that the teacher is using the prestige of his university position to build up an outside career or to promote outside causes. Even then, so important do I consider individual rights that I would prefer to rely on such pressure as would unquestionably be exerted by his colleagues, rather than the disciplinary action of a governing board. The objection to radical teaching raises a very different problem. It is not a question here of the individual rights of the teacher, but of the performance of his professional duties. Since he is acting in his official capacity, it is clear that, if the university so desires, it can hold him accountable not only for the quality and character but for the what of his teaching. This doubtless is what those temporarily irritated by some incident would have the governing board do. But, upon second consideration, they must realize the folly of any such action. A university exists for the pursuit and dissemination of learning. If it is not a place where men may seek the truth with open minds, it betrays its true character and purpose. Search for the truth means a constant endeavor to widen the boundaries of knowledge, and there is here a fatal contradiction if men are compelled to accept as final any particular social, political, or other philosophy, or if restrictions are placed on their critical faculties, or if they are forbidden to state the truth as they honestly find it. In the life of the university, as in the life of the world at large, there is no source of creative activity other than the individual human spirit. Confine that spirit within rigid limits, and it soon becomes sterile. That is the unanswerable reason for unswerving fidelity to the principle of academic freedom. Upon its maintenance depends the continued vitality of Harvard and every other university. It may be argued, nevertheless, that however important academic freedom may be, since young men and women are compelled to attend classes, the university is under an obligation to see that they are not compelled to listen to and to absorb unsound doctrine. There is an obligation. But what is unsound doctrine? And what can afford greater protection against it than free inquiry conducted by men whose intellectual processes conform with the highest requirements of true scholarship? How better can the university meet its obligation to its members than by appointing such men and giving them a free hand ? For my part, I would have little faith in my own beliefs and principles if I felt that they needed the shelter of authority and could not withstand the searching analysis of those who honestly hold otherwise. And I assume, of course, that in any well-conducted institution both sides of controverted questions will be adequately presented. Doesn't it all come down to picking a group of clear-thinking scholars, who are primarily scholars, balancing the inevitable tendencies to right and left, and then letting discussion rage? As in the case of outside activities, there is a point beyond which I would not go. I would never permit the universities to be subjected, in the name of academic freedom, to an organized effort to use them as propaganda mediums. To state an extreme case for purposes of illustration, if a group of industrialists, who believe in high tariff protection, should undertake, directly or indirectly, to promote the teaching of such a doctrine in the university, and if any member or members of the faculty should lend themselves to such an organized undertaking, the university should take suitable measures to protect itself. And this would be equally true in any other case of an organized effort from the outside to influence teaching. To hold otherwise would be not to defend academic freedom but to justify its perversion. The line might conceivably on occasions be hard to draw, but the principle is clear and definite. If a true scholar honestly seeks the truth he should be permitted to expound it as he finds it. without restrictions of any kind, no matter how radical his views may be. If, however, he deems it his duty to serve some other cause, then his place is in the outside world, and not in a university. It is not a question of loyalty. If a man's loyalty is to the high mission of the university, well and good. If his real loyalties He elsewhere, he should not endeavor to serve two masters. However, it is so vital that academic freedom should never be brought into question that disciplinary action should not be taken by a governing board unless it is clear either that outside interference exists or that they are confronted with an organized movement. I apologize for having written at such length. Having started, I wanted to think this business through, for my own satisfaction. But do tell our friends who are troubled that there is no cause for anxiety, and that as Harvard begins her fourth century of service, she is entitled without reservation to the whole-hearted support of all Harvard men. Sincerely yours, (S) OGDEN L. MILLS �7 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN Legal Institute Scores Marked Success Carberry Heads Education Grads Again Two more meetings held during the past fortnight brought the divisional alumni sea- a close. To call the Law Alumni association's gathering a meeting is to use an understatement. Actually it was a series of five evening meetings, comprising the university's first law institute, plus a closing banquet in celebration of the school's founding more than a half-century ago. Under the co-operative auspices of the association, headed by Morey C. Bartholomew, LLB '09, and the school, headed by Dean Francis M. Shea, faculty members reviewed recent developments in several important fields of the law. Interest mounted as alumni heard about the work of the Supreme court at the present term, about recent development in New York practice, in federal taxation, in the law of torts, about important problems of administrative law and about the problem of bureaucracy. At the celebration banquet on the final night the guest speakers were Jerome N. Frank, member of the Securities and Exchange commission; Edmund M. Morgan, professor of evidence at the Harvard Law school; former Supreme Court Justice Joseph Rosch, LLB '00, of Albany, president of the New York State Bar association. James McCormick Mitchell, LLB '97, was toastmaster. Members of the university's ofson to ftcial family also were at the speakers' table. Julius A. Schreiber, LLB '89, a member of the first graduating class, spoke for his classmates.

New Course in Public Administration Loudly and often have students of American public affairs lamented the lack of interest in education for public service. The University of Buffalo responds to a growing need with the establishment of a new graduate curriculum leading to a graduate certificate in public administration. The program will cover an academic year following college graduation. Students will be given field work interneships in various phases of public administration, with emphasis on public welfare, city planning and housing. They will work in conjunction with the Planning Research station established some time ago jointly by the university- and the Buffalo City Planning association. Students will take courses in public finance, local government, legislative and legal aspects of public administration, housing and city planning, community organization, accounting and advanced economics and sociology. The courses and field work will be organized in Millard Fillmore college, the university's downtown division, and in the Summer session. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Though final figures have not yet been compiled, it is expected that they will exceed last year's high of 4945. Before an audience of new and old students and robed faculty members who jammed Edmund Hayes auditorium on opening day. Chancellor Capen emphasized the university's adherence to the tradition of academic freedom. "This is a very simple and friendly community," he declared. "Pretense and pose of any sort are not popular here and are very little practiced. There are no barriers between any individuals or any groups. High-hatting is not in order. Relations between students and members of the faculty are cordial and natural. "This is a democratic institution. It offers no formal required courses in democracy and citizenship. It practices it. It takes the first amendment to the Constitution seriously—the amendment which guarantees freedom of speech, of the press, of worship and the right of petition. "The university guarantees the same things. It guarantees free speech. Anyone can express an opinion he holds, no matter how unpopular or how silly. Nobody has to agree with anybody, except on matters of fact. "The University of Buffalo enjoys the reputation of being one of the freest in America and it cherishes that as the outstanding attribute it possesses. The university promotes research and tries to see that its whole program of instruction is carried on in the spirit of intellectual inquiry." The chancellor likened the selection of a college to the selection of a mate. "Some of you have chosen this university because of its good looks," he ventured. "Some have chosen it because it was the only one available. Some—l hope many—have selected it because of its reputation as one of the leading universities of the country. "Some—I hope most of you—decided to come here because you were convinced that its facilities, its programs of study and its BACK TO COLLEGE A mid-September view of Lockwood Memorial Library's magnificent facade atmosphere promised you the best opportunities for the work you want to do and that its environment is suited to your aspirations and your abilities."

On campus, freshman orientation courses for new students in pharmacy, education, business and the College were held earlier in September. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Grid Prospects Bright Alumni News Brevities Belief that the Bulls will better their 1937 football record of four wins and four defeats, rules the Blue and White camp this fall.

The tally includes the Alumni Council Bulletin, mailed nine times a year to approximately 9000 alumni, and a multitude of literature concerning various alumni meetings, the Alumni Swimming Pool campaign and the annual vote for University council members. The Alumni office was established in 1933 in an effort, among other things, to keep track of the graduates. The office contains several files listing the alumni alphabetically, geographically and by classes. Several hundred more are classified as lost, because of the inadequacy of their addresses. To aid in keeping records clear, ;i!umni should notify the office of all changes of address. It is also urged that all readers of the Bulletin scan the "Where Are They Now?" column, which lists each month a new batch (if alumni whose present whereabouts is unknown.

Many a student has learned many a firsthand fact about diseases of childhood in the cheery rooms and wards of the institution. Recently announced was a new affiliation with the School of Dentistry. Senior students in small groups will be assigned to service in the hospital for clinical instruction and practice. The hospital dental clinic, established by the Junior league of Buffalo, has been remodeled and re-equipped and is regarded as one of the most complete associated with any children's hospital. Funds for the equipment and maintenance of the clinic were provided by the Junior league. Some of its members even serve as volunteer clerical workers in the clinic. Associate Dean Russell W. Groh, DDS '18 says the plan makes possible the enlargement of the scope of clinical instruction. Beside offering opportunity for study and treatment of conditions responsible for early inception of dental decay, the student is in the proper environment for training in the psychology of child management. Plans are under way for early establishment of a research program at the hospital for study of the relationship of malnutrition and dietry defects to the incidence of dental cavities.

Clark Memorial gymnasium was scheduled for opening on Wednesday, Nov. 2. As the Bulletin went to press plans were being completed for the traditional "Key ceremony" in which the university has in past years taken occupancyof its new campus buildings. Before a gathering of students,alumni, facultymen, University council members, educators of the region and just plain friends, the spacious, greystone structure was to be formally declared open for use. Sameafternoon, physical education classes were'to commence operations. In accordance with modern educational practice, physical education is not compulsory at Buffalo.

The new physical education plant is expected to attract big numbers of enthusiasts to participate in the sports and games which constitute the present-day physical education curriculum. Wand waving and Indian club twirling are out nowadays. Squash, badminton,tennis, archery, golf, matwork,baseball,softball, basketball,football are definitely in. Thus internal rivalries will be developed, as inter-school, inter-class,inter-fraternity contests appear on the program. The effect on intercollegiate athletics cannot fail to be good. Head CoachJim Peelle's football squad has the distinction of being the first athletic group to use the building, having beaten the opening gun by a few days in order to use the locker rooms and showers. Art Powell's basketball hopefuls will be able to start practice immediately on the new court—the same on which many of this season's gameswill be played.

Survey Business Grads Many critics of the college fraternity look it as a device for wasting time, spending moneyand generally receiving training as men-about-campus. That some, at least, have a serious point of view, is proved by Alpha Kappa Psi, national fraternity in business administration, whose Buffalo chapter annually conducts a research project in business training. Recently announced were results of the 1937-38 project—a surveyof Business Administration school alumni opinion on the training they received as undergraduates. The canvass was conducted by Milton A. Bender who was graduated in June with high distinction. In this era of specialization, alumni dislike for specialized training was an outstanding bit of news. They tended to support the opinion that specialized training is of little value since the student is usually unable to forecastthe type of position he will enter after graduation. Only 23 of the total of 93 returns indicated the graduate entered a previously chosen field. Only 12 of those 23 favoreda policy of specialization, which only a third of those who were unable to forecasttheir type of employment favored the policy. "The Schoolof Business Administration at the University of Buffalo attempts to assume a course midway between the two extremes of general and specialized training" the report points out. As regards curriculum and teaching methods,83 per cent favored more independent research; 58 per cent preferred dison cussion lectures and 61 per cent said should be the established procedure. to comprehensive examinations added to ACCOMPLISHES FEAT Arts SeniorPaul Civin has accomplished an unusual feat in qualifying as an associate of the Casualty Actuarial society, by completion of certain difficult examinations several months ago.

Clark Memorial gymnasium is filling a great need at the university is an understatement. Sinceit was opened for business one day last month, its facilities have been taxed almost con- Breaks Precedent tinually. A new impetus has been given to physical education courses—which no longer include wand drills and Indian club twirling, but organized gamesand personalized corrective measures. Intramural sports, too, have brought out large numbers of class, fraternity and division enthusiasts,who make the welkin ring by day and keep the lights ablaze by night. Varsity athletics at last find a comfortable home. Players have convenient,adequate locker rooms, trim, commodious showers, spacious quarters for indoor practice. The football squad no longer fears inclement weather,but can use the swimming pool room for light drills. The basketball players have not one, but three courts on which to practice, with the double advantage of playing home games on their own court instead of Elmwood Music hall floor. And even those who use the building little or not at all, are enthusiastic over this latest step toward the complete campus. The gymnasium was dedicated Nov. 2 with simple ceremonies. Preceded by a student parade around the campus, the program was highlighted by a transferof keys from Justice Charles B. Sears,University council member representing the community, to ChancellorCapen. Burton T. Simpson, MD '03. director of the New York StateInstitute for the Study of Malignant Diseases,and left tackle on the great teams of 1899 to 1901, gave the keynote speech, while Dr. CharlesH. Keene,head of the department of hygiene and physical education, spoke briefly but happily. SOCIAL WORKERS ORGANIZE Alumni of the Schoolof Social Work are planning to form their own graduates' association. Action in that direction was taken at a luncheon of alumni, faculty members,consulting associates and students a few weeks ago in Syracuse, during the of SocialWork. New York StateConference Dean Niles Carpenter was directed by the appoint a committee to lay plans group to for the organization. Approximately 90 degrees and certificatesin social work have been granted by the university.

O'MALLEY, DDS '23 The General Alumni association,now nearly a quarter of a century old, has a woman president for the first time in its history. She is Jane C. O'Malley, DDS, '23, Buffalo practitioner, a delegate from the University of Buffalo Alumnae association, and onetime (1933-34) president of that body. Dr. O'Malley was elected by the board of trustees at the deferred annual meeting, held in mid-December. She succeeds John S. Allan, BS '27, LLB '30. Edward L. Schwabe,PhG, '28 becomes vice president. William G. Cook, BS '27, secretary, and James R. Clark' BS (Bus) '31, treasurer, were re-elected. Biggest item of business was consideration of the complexity of Buffalo alumni organization. Somany alumni are confused about the functions, programs,dues and interrelationships of the manyclubs and societies,that leaders now believe simplification is advisable. The trustees thereforedirected President O'Malley to appoint at an early date, a committee to surveythe entire field, prepare a plan and present it for approval at a meeting of alumni leaders on University day, Feb. 22, 1939. Nobel Winners Visit The university was host to two Nobel prize winners during the last month. Dr. Arthur 11.

Columbus, Ohio Stejbach, Mac Napieralska (Mrs.), '27 634 Fillmore Aye.. Buffalo, N. Y. Resolved: That the Council of the University of Buffalo approves the creation of scholarships by organized groups of alumni of the university, the recipients of which may be designated by the organizations providing the scholarships, subject in each case to the approval of the university committee on scholarships and loans. On the strength of that resolution,made public by Chancellor Capen a fortnight ago, the University of Buffalo Alumni Club, campaign Inc., this month was preparing a for scholarships aimed at improvingvarsity athletics while at the same time adhering to the university's requirements on academic standing. A committee of 15, headed by Harold M. Baumler, LLB '26, is drawing plans for an award similar to the Rhodes scholarship, which gives recognition to academic attain- ment, character and extra-curricular activity. The plan will be submitted to universityauthorities shortly. Its proponents are optimistic concerning its approval. Publication of the resolution was hailed with delight by many students,alumni and Buffalo citizens. First interpretations gleefully used such terms as "subsidization," "athletic scholarships" and "liberalization of poliq-." Later, more sober opinion held that athletic subsidy would not be tolerated any more than it had in the past; that the policy had not been liberalized or changed in any way,but that the resolution merely re-stated certain rights which the alumni have had all the time. Actually the resolution makes no mention of athletics. But observers agreethat it leaves the way clear for alumni assistance to students who maypossess other than scholastic attainments. Certainly the alumni leaders took the statement as a friendly act on the part of the University council and administration an act which they believe will be encouraging to alumni morale. On Mr. Baumler's committee are Allen R. Long. MD '21, club president; Arnott A. Moore. DDS '15, club secretary; Edward F. Mimmack. DDS '21, Dental facultyman; Gordon A. Hague, AC '21, BS '25, EdM '33, member of the Athletic council; Robert E. Rich, BS (Bus) '35, president of the Business Administration Alumni association: Dr. Curtis C. D. Vail, Arts faculty member and new Athletic council appointee; Dr. Frederick J. Holl, BS '22 of the Arts faculty; Alumni Secretary William G. Cook, BS '27; James J. Ailinger, DDS '25, chairman of Buffalo's Civic Stadium commission;Assistant Dean Shaw Livermore of the Business faculty; G. Norris Miner, BA '27, MD '32 of North Tonawanda; Clyde W. George, MD '29, president of the Lockport Alumni club; John S. Allan, BS '27, LLB '30, president of the General Alumni association; George E.

Pg^alo, Art Powell Opens 24th Court Season Buffalo sports rooters, disappointed by the season's showing in football, turned with more optimism this month to the basketball court. Coach Art Powell's 24th edition has somewhat better material than last year, and the new practice facilities are expected to help. Biggest hope of the squad is Morlty Townsend. whose 6 feet, B|/2 inches of frame easily won him the pivot post again. So far he has paced his team mates with a total of 45 in scoring points. TOWNSEND Son of Carleton J. Townsend. LLB 11. and brother of Betty Townsend. BA '34, "Tiny" Townsend expects his degree in business administration in 1939. The squad has five of last year's lettermen, plus enough newcomers with high school and freshman squad experience to guarantee some reserve material. Powell, temperamentally pessimistic, shakes his head over the season's prospects, but critics look for the best record since the famousclub of the early thirties. Jim Peelle's gridiron machine turned in two impressive wins out of eight starts— by no means the worst season in Buffalo history. Brilliant in flashes,the team sufferedfrom lack of reserves, lacked scoring punch, displayed a tendency to weaken in the final stages of the contest. Upsetting Peelle's custom of appointing game captains, the squad elected Vito Grieco team captain, had the pleasure of seeing him get the center spot on the various all-district elevens,win honorable mention on the Associated Press All-Eastern team, and receive offersfrom three professionalNational league teams for 1939Seasonsummary: C. C. N. Y. 15, Buffalo 6; Alfred 7, Buffalo 0; Kent State 54, Buffalo 0; Allegheny 0, Buffalo 47; Hobart 19, Buffalo 0; Wayne 35, Buffalo 0; R. P. I. 7, Buffalo26. Seeking Catholic Aid Enrollment Up Again The Rev. Raymond P. Murray, counselor to Catholic students at the university, has issued an appeal to Catholic alumni to assist him in his work. Contributionsare being sought for building up a Catholic library to be placed in the Lockwood Memorial library; for continuance of the program of Catholic speakers and for other work of the chaplaincy. Most of the activity is conducted through the Newman club, an organization of Catholic culture and fellowship whose purpose is promotion of the religious, intellectual and social welfareof Catholicstudents. The club has brought to Buffalo such lecturers as Dr. Fulton J. Sheehan, the Abbe Dimnet of Paris, Dr. Mortimer J. Adler of the University of Chicago and Arnold Lunn of England. Each year during the Lenten season a retreat is arranged by the chaplain. Once again the university has beaten its own enrollment record. Final fall figures released by Registrar Emma E. Deters show a net registration of 4360, an increase of 4J/2 per cent over the 4171 for the same time last year.

Ronan, Vice President Morey C. Bartholomew of the New York State Bar association; Assistant Corporation Counsel Fred J. Maloney and James V. Walsh, clerk in County court. Class President John J.

New Branch Club Looms at Pittsburgh Formal organization of Buffalo'snewest alumni branch club will take place in Pittsburgh in February. All graduates within a 60-mile radius of the Golden triangle are being invited to hear ChancellorCapen and representatives of academic institutions in the vicinity, to set up a club and elect officersfor the coming year. Two informal gatherings of alumni already have been held in the last fortnight. CharlesJ. Barone,MD '15 of Pittsburgh was host at the first, where Alumni Secretary William G. Cook, BS '27 described the university's progressand displayed the 1939 edition of the moving picture, "On the Campus." At that meeting Geoge F. Reusch,MD '08 of Pittsburgh was chosen chairman and William J. Baldwin, BS "26 of Ingram, secretary of the organization movement. The second gathering, at which final plans were laid, was held in the home of Thomas M. Heard Jr., MD '99, Mt. Lebanon. There are approximately 40 alumni in the area, which embraces Youngstown, 0.. and Wheeling, W. Va. Three meetings are pending in Central and SouthernNew York state*. Following a tour of the region, Talman W. Van Arsdale Jr., BA '38, Alumni officeassistant, reports that preliminary' committee meetings are scheduled late this month in Syracuse. Utica and Binghamton. The Elmira group also anticipates an early start on plans. The Washington, D. C, club celebrates its birthday Feb. 4. A feature of the meeting will be the university cinema. Dr. ClarenceS. Marsh of the American Council on Education was this month's speaker. Are there too many alumni organizations in the Buffalo structure? That is the question now being studied for solution by a special committee of the General Alumni association. Convinced that interest in alumni activities is directly proportional to understanding of objectives and organizational setup, President Jane C. O'Malley, DDS '23 seeks an answer by University day, the association's 24th birthday. Heading the study committee is stocky, baldish Homer A. Trotter, PhG '09, MD '15, whose friendly chuckle is known to many a club and society, professional and social, and whose attitude toward alumni activity is shaded by his belief that the university belongs not to -he alumni and students,but to the whole community. All divisions are represented in the other members of the committee: Winifred C. Stanley, BA '30, LLB '33 (Alumnae); Waring A. Shaw,BA '31 (Arts president) Richard W. Collard. BS (Bus) '35 (Business); SamuelA. Gibson,DDS '21 (Dentistry president); Harry I. Good, BS (Bus) "27, EdM '31 (Education); Morey C. Bartholomew,LLB '09 (Law president) ; VicePresident Edward L. Schwabe,PhG '28. BS (Phar) '32, MA '36 (Pharmacy). President O'Malley and Secretary William G. Cook, BS '27 are ex-orficiomembers. That the committee will continue the investigation of alumni-universityco-operation begun a yearago, is a certainty. Whether athletics will be included is doubtful, since that problem is now in the hands of the Alumni Club, Inc. The GeneralAlumni association,however, may safely claim credit for initiating the chain of events which resulted in the present encouraging state of athletic affairs, for the whole question was laid out for dissection at the dinner of alumni leaders and university representatives last University day.

For the sixth consecutive year the university lived within its income and finished the fiscal year with a surplus of 538,581.28 in its operaring account. The first law institute for the benefit of the alumni of the Law school was held during the week of May 23 in connection with the celehration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the school. The 25th anniversary of the founding of the College of Arts and Sciences was celebrated on May 14 by a conference on problems confronting colleges of liberal arts. Departments ot public administration and of city planning and housing were established in the School of Social Work. A City Planning Research station was established under the joint sponsorship of the university and the City Planning association. Enrollment in graduate courses leading to degrees and in short post-graduate courses tot professional practitioners increased 37 per cent. Action by the Board of Education of the city of Buffalo requiring 30 semester hours of work beyond the bachelor's degree for prospective teachers in the secondary schools of the city affected the enrollment in graduate courses in the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Education. The Work-Study plan was inaugurated for the benefit of superior students who cannot otherwise secure a university education. The Board of Health of the city of Buffalo tendered to the department of hygiene and public health in the Medical and Dental schools its facilities for general teaching and field work in connection with the graduate and post-graduate instruction of physicians, dentists and nurses. The co-operation between the Schools oi Medicine and Dentistry and the Buffalo City hospital was further extended. The departments of anatomy, bio-chemistry, physiology and pharmacology undertook to offer instruction to the house staff of the hospital; and the faculty of the Dental school organized from its membership a post-graduate faculty to give special training to the hospital's staff of dental interns. The School of Dentistry entered into an agreement with the BuffaloChildren's hospital under which the hospital's dental clinic will be operated as a teaching unit of the school. Following the plan adopted last year lor the direction of the departmenr of general medicine, the administration of the department of surgery in the Medical school was placed in the hands of a committee consisting of a chairman and the professors in charge of surgical teaching in the Buffalo City hospital and the Buffalo General hospiral. The School of Pharmacy entered into an agreement with the Buffalo City hospital under which the school co-operates in the conduct ot the pharmacy connected with the hospital and is thereby enabled to give cerrain of its students special training in the operation of a hospital pharmacy. With the aid of a grant from the Carnegie corporation the librarian of the Lockwood Memorial library has assembled a unique and nearly complete collection of representative manuscripts The State of the University {from tbe Chancellor's Report) and working papers of contemporary English poecs. The Foster lectures on chemistry and allied subjects, inaugurated in the spring of 1957 under the O. E. Foster Lecture fund, brought to the university for brief periods of service a group of disringuished scientists from other institutions. The Irwin B. Clark Memorial gymnasium, furnishing ample facilities for the athletic activities of both men and women students and for the instructional uses of the departmenr of hygiene and physical education, was nearly com- pleted. A chapter of the honorary society Phi Beta Kappa was installed in the College of Arts and Sciences. A chapter of the honorary society Phi Delta Kappa was installed in the School of Education. A chapter of the honorary society of Omicron Kappa Upsilon was installed in the School of Dentistry. To balance the budget for the year 1938-39 the council was obliged to apply more than halfof the operating surplus of the year 1937-58. It is appropriate to comment somewhat at length on certain of the items in this summary. Enrollment and Finances The total enrollment of 4945, the largest in the history of the university, represents an increase of 4.13 per cent over the enrollment of the preceding year. The largest increases occurred in the full-time day divisions of the university. The gain in all of the regular day divisions combined was 6.31 per cent. The total enrollment of 1905 persons for the year under review was within eight of the largest number ever enrolled in these divisions. The enrollment in the Millard Fillmore college registered a gain of 6.62 per cent. The enrollment in the Summersession declined 4.17 per cent. Fees received from students constitute the chief source of the university's income. For some yearsthey have represented between 70 per cent and 80 per cent of the income. A gain in the enrollment of fulltime students,such as has occurred during the past year, affects the university's income more favorably than an even larger gain in the number of part-time students registered in the Millard Fillmore college or in the Summersession. The report of the comptroller shows that the income from tuition fees during the year under review was $47,228.38 greater than that received during the year 1936-37. Notwithstanding the decline in interest rates which affectsthe yield from the endowment funds, the trend of the university's income is slowly upward. In addition to the steady increase in fee income during the past four years the university has continued to be the recipient of numerous gifts and bequests, some of these very substantial. It has continued to live absolutely within its means in a time when many privately endowed institutions have operated with annual deficits. It has continued to expand and improve its services. It has even been able to undertake essential reconstructions in several of its divisions. It has not been able, however, to restore salaries to the 1932-33 levels. Until it can do so, it must count itself crippled, no matter how essentially sound may be its financial condition nor how gratifying may be the progress made in one or another of its component parts. With the improvement of salary schedules in other universities which is gradually taking place, it will not be possible for the Llniversity of Buffalo long to retain its best people or to fill the places of those who leave its services with others of equal quality. Activities of the Divisions The 50/AAnniversary of the Law School The celebration of the first half century of life of the School of Law fell opportunely at a time when it was possible for returning alumni and other friends of the school to assess the results of the reorganization begun in the spring of 1936. For two years a vigorous and productive fulltime faculty—a faculty further augmented by the appointment of one part-time and two full-time professors during the year under review—had been addressing itself to the expansion and rearrangement of the curriculum, to the development of new methods of instruction and the stimulation of student participation in professional activities inside and outside the school. The collection of books and periodicals had been greatly increase d and the usability of the law library improved. The school had been approved by the American Bar association and admitted to membership in the Association of American Law Schools. The celebration of the anniversary took the form of a six-day law institute conducted mainly by the dean and his associates, but addressed also by ProfessorEdmund M. Morgan of the Harvard Law school and Jerome N. Frank of the Securities and Exchange commission. The institute was devoted to the presentation of recent developments in various, fields of legal theory and practice, and was designed to be of practical value to the members of the local bar. The 25th Anniversary of the College When the university on May 14, 1938, publicly recognized the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the College of Arts and Sciences,it was celebrating more than the first quarter century of the life of one of its divisions. It was calling attention to the fact that it is really a very young university; because until the College of Arts and Scienceshad reached a certain stage in its development the institution was a university in name only. The title which it had borne for nearly three-quarters of a century represented a prophecy and a hope. Until the college was established the four professional schools which �3 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN made up the university had no secure roots and no common integrating bond. The university as it exists today is not onlycentered in the College of Arts and Sciences; more than half of it is a direct outgrowth of the college. Almost from the day when it graduated its first class the college has been one of the pioneers in the progressive reform of higher education in the liberal arts. As the college has grown in resources, and as its experiments have been observed and tested by outside agencies, its prestige has increased. On the occasion of its 25th birth- day distinguished speakers representing other institutions testified to the position of influencewhich it has attained among the colleges of liberal arts. Expansion of the School of Social Work The youngest offshoot of the College of Arts and Sciencesis the Schoolof Social Work which developed out of the department of sociology and anthropology in response to urgent demands of the community. Recognizing a change in the trend of training for social work, the school established during the year under review two new departments: a department of public administration and a department of cityplanning and housing. It inaugurated courses leading to the graduate certificate in public administration and extended its field work specialties to include group work, administration, and city planning and housing. Its enrollment has continued to increase. Those who receive its degrees and certificates are in great demand among the private and public agencies of this region. The establishment of the department of city planning and housing was made possible by the co-operation of the Buffalo City Planning association and by a continuing grant from the Rockefellerfoundation. The City Planning association and the university are joint sponsors of a planning research station. The station undertakes to carry on investigations and direct students in the fieldsof city planning and housing, under the direction of the head of the department of city planning and housing, Dr. Walter C. Behrendt,who also serves as consultant to the City Planning association. GraduateWork In the year under review 372 persons were pursuing graduate work in the university leading to advanced degrees. Eightythree more attended short post-graduate courses offeredby the Schoolsof Medicine and Dentistry. Two divisions enroll the majority of these candidates. One hundred and thirtyfour are working for degrees in arts and sciences,216 for degrees in education. As noted at the beginning of this report, the increase in the number of persons enrolled for all forms of graduate study was 37 per cent during the year under review. Within the last five years this group of students has increased more than 100 per cent. Unless the university should arbitrarily limit the number of persons accepted for graduate study it is bound to have on its hands an enterprise in the field of graduate education of very considerable magnitude. The body of graduate students already registered is double the size of most of the university's professional schools. In previous reports I have informed the council that the situation which now exists might be expected and that when it arrived the university would probably have to consider some reorganization of its graduate undertakings, especially in the field of the arts and sciences. It is my belief that the time has come to recognize the fact that the university now has in reality a graduate school of to designate the body of arts and sciences, graduate students and their teachers as such,and to provide for a titular head of the unit. The problems to be faced in this field deserve the attention of a graduate faculty and dean. The problems facing the university in the field of graduate work in the arts and sciences and in education are likely to be multiplied by the recent action of the Board of Education of the city of Buffalo requiring prospective teachers in secondary schools to secure 30 semester hours of work beyond the bachelor's degree. The effect of this requirement will undoubtedly be to induce the great majority of prospective secondary teachers of this area to secure either the MA or the EdM degree. Graduate enrollments, therefore, in both arts and education are likely to increase still further. Short post-graduate courses in various professional fields designed primarily to afford practitioners an opportunity to learn of new technical developments have proved to be a very valuable form of service. The university has conducted such courses in medicine for nearly 20 years. Because of its success in this form of instruction it was requested by the Kellogg foundation to arrange a special post-graduate course for a group of Michigan physicians during the year 1938. The school offered the course requested in addition to those which it regularly conducts. For the second year the Schoolof Dentistry conducted similar brief post-graduate courses for practicing dentists. The law institute, mentioned above,was the first attempt of the School of Law to render a corresponding service in the legal field. ■* The Work-Study Plan Every year the admissions officersof the university have contact with scores of ability who are young people of superior eagerto attend the university but for financial reasons are unable to do so. The funds available for scholarships are very limited. Few of the endowed scholarships provide full tuition. Scholarship awards in amounts less than the full tuition fee are not sufficient to enable some students to attend; and often these are the students who would profit by a university education. For the benefit of these youngpeople the Work-Study plan has been devised. In its essential mechanism the plan follows the familiar model of the co-operative part-time plans which have been in force at the University of Cincinnati, Antioch college and certain other institutions for a number of years. Under the plan a student spends half his time studying in the university and half his time working at a job outside the university for wages. Studentsare paired. When one member of the pair is working at the job furnished by some outside employing agencythe other member is studying full-time in the university. At intervals of four months the members of the pair change places; the one working at the job returns to his work as a student,the other suspends his fulltime study and takes over the job. Only those students who graduate in the highest fifth of their respective high school classes and who demonstrate to the university officersthat they are otherwise unable to attend the university will be admitted to study under the plan. Already a sufficientnumber of business organizations have agreed to co-operate with the university by furnishing employment to ensure a satisfactory trial period. The plan went into operation in the summer of 1938. Prospective students maypursue their work either in the College of Arts and Sciences or the School of Business Administration. The council has appointed Dean Lewis A. Froman of the Millard Fillmore college, director of the Work-Study plan. Co-operative Relations Within the year under review the three units of the university devoted to education for the health services have still further extended their co-operative relationships. The agreement between the Buffalo City hospital and the university originally adopted in 1920, under which the hospital places its facilities for clinical teaching in medicine, dentistry and nursing at the disposal of the university and designates the heads of the university departments as the heads of its own medical, dental and surgical services,was again revised in the year under review to bring about a still closer integration with the medical, dental and nursing divisions of the university. In addition the preclinical departments in the Medical school for the first time offered instruction to the house staff of the City hospital. The Dental school likewise organized a post-graduate faculty to give instruction to the dental interns on the staff of the City hospital in oral surgery, radiology, pathology, pediodontia, orthodontia, periodontia and therapeutics. Through this new faculty organization the school proposes also to offer short postgraduate courses to general practitioners. A separate agreement between the School of Pharmacy and the Buffalo City hospital provides for the operation of the hospital �UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 4 pharmacy by the school and the use of this pharmacy for teaching purposes. An altogether new agreement was consummated between the Schoolof Dentistry and the Buffalo Children'shospital according to which the school assumes the operation of the hospital dental clinic as a teaching unit of the school, and the school places the services of its regular teaching faculty in a consulting capacity at the disposal of the clinic, and offers instruction to student nurses and hospital interns. The hospital has undertaken to enlarge its present facilities and to give the school full access to its clinical material in the outpatient department and wards for undergraduate and post-graduate teaching and for general research. It will be obvious that this agreement provides for a very large addition to the facilities already furnished by the school infirmary for instruction in children's dentistry. The Collectionof Modern Poetry The Lockwood Memorial library started in the autumn of 1935 to build up a collection of materials that will fully represent British and American poetic activity of the period from 1880 to the present day. It has already made a substantial beginning in the accumulation of books,pamphlets, magazines and fugitive publications in which the works of poets have appeared. More important and distinctive than the collection of books,however,is the unique collection of manuscripts which the library has already assembled. The purpose which the library seeks is to bring together in one place all the printed works of contemporary poets and to provide manuscript materials which will enable students to see how poets work, how a poem grows from its first incomplete and unpolished beginnings to the final version which is presented to the public. Suchmaterials,it is believed,will be of great interest and value both to students of literature and to students of psychology. In 1937 the Carnegie corporation made available an appropriation of $1500 to enable ProfessorCharlesD. Abbott, the librarian of the Lockwood Memorial library, to visit contemporary British poets and explain to them the purposes lying behind the collection. Over a hundred British poets were interviewed. All were willing to cooperate by bestowing upon the library copies of their manuscripts. A large number of American poets have likewise responded to the library's request. The Needs of the University The primary need of the university remains the same: more endowment. Unrestricted gifts to the general funds of the institution and special endowments for professorships are equally useful. It is imperative that more moneyfor salaries of employes of all grades be secured. This is not a matter of sentiment. The essential quality of the university is at stake. Since the general reduction of salaries, made necessary six yearsago by the sudden drop in the university's income,the rate of compensation of teachers of all ranks has been so low as greatly to handicap the university in its competition with other institutions for the services both of promising young instructors and of professors with established reputations. I do not ignore the fact that the University of Buffalo has made a strong appeal on other than material grounds to members of the academic profession. But the price of these psychic satisfactions maybe more than teachers can afford to pay. In many instances it has been more than they could afford. The university has lost some of its strongest members;not because they wished to go but because they could not afford to stay. It will inevitably lose others unless the general financial situation of the whole staff is speedily improved. Not only is more moneyneeded to increase the salaries of those already in service,but in several of the divisions and departments more teachers are needed. Probably the most serious deficiency is that existing in the Medical school. Only the basic scientific departments of anatomy, physiology, bio-chemistry, pharmacology, pathology and bacteriology are staffedwith full-time teachers. Next to the improvement of existing salaries in the Medical school, the most urgent need is the employment of some full-time professors in each of the principal clinical departments. Along with the reduction of salaries six yearsago came a curtailment of the appropriations for equipment, supplies and assistance to be used in research. It has not been possible as yet to restore these appropriations to their former levels. The research program of the whole university has undoubtedly suffered. It is placed in the inconsistent position of promoting research,and at the same time starving it. In previous reports I have informed the council that the income from at least $2,---000,000 of additional endowment is needed now to conduct properly the enterprises to which the university is already committed. To conduct these enterprises, not on an extravagant scale,but in a manner consonant with the annual recommendations of their directing officers,would require the income from additional endowment considerably in excess of $2,000,000. With the completion of the Irwin B. Clark Memorial gymnasium the most serious deficiency in the university's physical equipment on the campus will have been met. Until the divisions located on the campus have increased considerably in size no further buildings are absolutely needed for their accommodation. To complete the gymnasium, however,it should be extended out-of-doors. The campus has ample areas for playing fields of all sorts. Thus far they have been very slightly developed. It is hoped that the project may appeal in the near future to friendsof the university. One building is urgently needed. I have discussed the need frequently in other annual reports. There should be at an early date an adequate building on Niagara square to house the downtown activities of the university. With the continued growth of Millard Fillmore college the inadequacy of Townsend hall becomes every year more pronounced. The growth of the Law school library and the increased demand for officesfor members of the faculty of the Law school have taxed the capacity of the Law school building to the utmost. Additional space for the operations of the school will shortly have to be found. For some years the council has had in mind the erection of a building on the present site of Townsend hall large enough to house both the Millard Fillmore college and the Law school and to provide for the inevitable expansion of both of these divisions. The needs of the Medical and Dental schools for improved quarters do not constitute an emergency.They are real, howto ever. Before long it will be necessary replace the buildings occupied by these of both divisions schools. The faculties believe that when that time comes a single building should be erected to house the two schools;and that it should be on another site. As to whether it should be placed on the campus, opinions are divided. The university has a larger enrollment each year of persons resident outside the commuting area. Unquestionably its attractive power to students residing at a distance would be greatly increased if it provided living quarters for these students. The admitting officersknow of many person.s who each year desire to attend the University of Buffalo because of the character of certain of its offerings, and who decide not to do so since the university has no dormitories. Dormitories for both men and women constitute an extremely useful addition to its present facilities. The insufficiency of the scholarship funds is more acutely felt than ever in a period such as that through which we are now passing. Scoresof the ablest young people within the territorial area served by the university cannot meet its charges, or indeed those of any other institution of higher education. Welcome additions have been made to the scholarship funds of the university during the year under review. The total sum available for student aid, however,is but a fraction of the amount that could be assigned to students whose need is urgent and whose industry and talent are conspicuous. Again, the provision of money *"o enable the most competent young people to complete their formal education is not a matter of sentiment. The recipients of such aid are not the only ones who profit. The ultimate advantage accrues to the community; and not alone to this community, but to the larger American community of which this community is a part. Gifts for scholarships, while they do not help the university pay its operating costs or to balance its budget, are likely to bring as great a permanent return as any that can be made. Respectfully submitted, SAMUEL P. CAPEN �5 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN The Comptroller's Report of the University of Buffalo, Buffalo,New York Gentlemen. The annual report of the comptroller for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1938 is presented herewith. The balance sheet. Exhibit "A" shows endowment assets of $5,742,320.07; plant assets of $6,833,435.4"'; and operating assets of $72,510.26. On June 30, 1938 the balance in the endowment fund account was $5,740,353-64, as shown in Exhibit "B" presented herewith. On June 30, 1937 this balance was $5,839,713-96. The net decrease for the year, therefore,in the endowment fund account was $99,360.32. This decrease is accounted for by disbursements made during the year out of the endowment fund on account of the construction of the Irwin B. Clark Memorial gymnasium,which disbursements were offset in part by additions to the fund. The endowment fund account is made up of $1,977,614.20 of general purpose funds and $3,762,739.44 of special purpose funds as shown in Exhibit "B." The value of the plant assets on June 30, 1937 was $6,563,-977.81. The value of the plant assets on June 30, 1938 was $6,829,478.46. The increase during the year covered by this report, therefore,was $265,500.65, which is accounted for, in large part, by payments on account of the construction of the Irwin B. Clark Memorial gymnasium. The physical plant of the university has never been in as splendid condition as it is at To the Council present. The total operating income for the year was $1,037,410.12; the total operating disbursements were $999,028.84 as shown below. The year, therefore,closed with a credit balance of $38,381.28 which is 3-70 per cent of the total income for the year. From this surplus the sum of $20,211.03 was appropriated by the committee on general administration to balance the budget for the fiscal year 1938-39. The total operating income for the year exceeded the operating income of the preceding year by $49,519.51, while the total operating disbursements exceeded those of the preceding year by $32,969.18. For the first time in the history of the university its income reached one million dollars for the year. The following is a comparative table of the operating account of the university for the fiscal years 1935-36,1936-37 and 1937-38. $"39,065.95 $"68,753.50 Fees Received from Students Income from Endowment 171,865.42 172,497.31 Dental Infirmary <Net) 13.332.89 12.598.24 Sifts Received to Apply on Salaries 9.400.00 7,400.00 1.430.00 1,730.00 Rental Property Income Miscellaneous 7,005.52 8,198.17 Appropriation of 1935-1936 Surplus 16,713.39 Appropriation of 1936-1937 Surplus Total Income $912,089."8 $987,890.61 EXPENSES $132,681.49 $138,558.25 Lxpenses of Administtation 507,469.41 528.860.53 Salaries of Instruction Supplies Used in Instruction 26.435.12 22,344."6 Operation and Maintenance of 89.734.02 82,660.17 Buildings 3perarion and Maintenance of Cen20,986.37 tral Heating Plant 20,912.08 Jpkeep and Improvement—University Campus 30.934.8t 45.364.14 J815.981.88 173,580.64 10,512.37 5.350.00 1,705.00 8,449.28 21,830.95 $1,037,410.12 $151,107.64 548,938.01 21,567.53 92,347.98 24.823.95 38,679.86 General and Departmental 3ureau of Business and Social Research department of Physical Education and Hygiene I"he Registrar's Office Furniture and Fixtures Scientific Equipment Catalogs, Bulletins, Printing and Advertising Insurance [merest on Mortgages and Notes Payable Rental Property Expense Cicp of Buffalo Property Assess- libraries. ments Collection Pledges of Endowment Total Expenses Surplus for the Year Fund 43,902.72 (',499.19 6,853.58 6,362.58 14,521.74 11,423.14 2,775.49 14,601.66 11,719.34 14,543-40 6,192.00 12,210.92 4,292.63 7,676.64 7,299.23 6,939.63 ",104.66 ■',892.22 5,968.18 9,668.67 5,954.49 15,596.71 15,033.07 1,904.97 11,720.68 1,800.76 2,187.71 2,368.29 8,348.75 2,029.78 653.88 883-09 1,537.36 ....S925.376.39 .... 44,310.93 43,280.62 16,713.39 S999.028.84 S966.059-66 21,830.95 38,381.28 During the year 1937-38 fees received from students equalled "8.7 per cent of the total income of the university for the year and 81.7 per cent of the total cost of operating the university for the year. Of the total expenses 54.9 per cent was for salaries of instruction;61.5 per cent was for salaries of instruction,plus supplies used in instruction and operation and maintenance of libraries. Federal,state, municipal and foreign government bonds, purchased by the university, yielded an averageincome of 4.35 per cent on the actual investment; railroad bonds, 3.81 per cent; public utility bonds,5.3 per cent; industrial bonds,4.35 per cent; miscellaneous bonds,all gifts, .27 per cent; stocks,4.34 per cent; real estate mortgages and mortgage certificates,1.67 per cent. The average yield on all stocks and bonds purchased and owned by the university, and excluding gifts, was 4.41 per cent for the year. On June 30, 1938 the stocks and bonds in the university portexcluding folio which had been purchased by the university, and gifts, were classified as follows on the basis of market worth: foreign government bonds,22.9 per Federal, state, municipal and cent; cent; utility bonds, 14.6 per cent; railroad bonds, 8.7 per industrial and utility preferred industrial bonds,4.1 per cent;utility and railroad common stocks, stocks,16.1 per cent; industrial, 18.9 per cent; investment trusts, preferred and common stocks, and fire insurance comcent; per 6.3 per cent; bank stocks,3-9 pany stocks,4.5 per cent. It continues to be a diversified list of the highest grade. Gifts and bequests received during the year which ended June 30, 1938 included the following: Estate of Clara M. Hendershot for the establishment of the Clara M. Hendershot Scholarship of fund, $22,623.89; estate of Etta Cohenfor the establishment the Frank Louis Cohenfund $18,191.13; addition to the LeGrand S.

His subject will be "What Threatens American Democracy?" The ceremonies will include also the presentation of the Chancellors medal to some person, as yet unrevealed, who has distinguished Buffalo in the eyes of the world. A sizable group of new alumni will receive diplomas and certificates. Dr. Day's coming to Buffalo is in line with the university's practice of presenting the new presidents of neighboring institutions from the commencement platform. Dr. Day has spent 32 years in higher education. He holds bachelor's and master's degrees from Dartmouth, a doctors degree from Harvard and honorary doctor's degrees from Dartmouth, Harvard, Syracuse and Pennsylvania. He has been chairman of the department of economics at Harvard, dean of the School of Business Administration at Michigan, expert economics adviser to the United States government and director of the Federal Reserve bank. He was inaugurated at Cornell in 1937. The Chancellor's medal is Buffalo's sole honorary award. It has been presented almost every year since 1922 to some Buffalonian or former resident whose achievements have brought renown to the city. It was founded by the late Chancellor Charles P. Norton. February, 1939 Hospital Renamed for Buffalo Alumnus Late Edward J. Meyer Honored by City The Buffalo City hospital last month lost its name and was given a new one in memory of a University of Buffalo alumnus. By action of the City council the institution will be henceforth known as the Edward J. Meyer Memorial hospital. The change was proposed by the board of managers through Superintendent Walter S. Goodale, MD '03. He said: "The establishment of the Buffalo City hospital, its policies, its methods of operation, and much of the success it has attained are monuments to the devotion, ability and foresight of the late Dr. Meyer. "When Dr. Meyer began the practice of medicine in Buffalo, he was one of a very small group of men who had been properly grounded in medical and surgical practice according to modern standards. In the middle of his career and after ac- quiring a reputation as one of the outstanding surgeons of Western New York, he was appointed to membership on the board of managers, Buffalo City hospital, and immediately elected president. "Here Dr. Meyer's talents were evident from the beginning. His devotion to the institution was almost fanatical and it never lessened until the day he died. Buffalonians owe him a debt of gratitude which will be repaid in part if at this time the institution which he served for more than 24 years is named in his memory." Edward J. Meyer, MD '91, died in 1935 the peak of his career. He had been 42 years a member of the Medical school faculty and an eminent benefactor of the university. His widow, Mrs. S. Margaret Berrick Meyer gave substantially to the Alumni Swimming Pool fund in his memat ory. MEDICAL MEETING SET The annual spring meeting and clinical day of the Medical Alumni association will be held in Buffalo April 22. GUEST OF NEW YORKERS Chancellor Capen was among the presidents and officers of 72 American, Canadian and English universities who were guests of honor at a recent dinner of the University club of New York City. Former President Herbert Hoover and John D. Rockefeller Jr., were among those honored. The speakers included President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia university and Thomas C. Lamont, banker.

Birthday Plans Traditional a'umni celebration of University day will be repeated this year, in the form of d joint dinner of the Alumni council and the General Alumni association's board of trustees. Though University day is actually the general associations birthday, circumstances have more than once caused the celebration to be held on some nearby date which was more convenient. Thus, announcement that this year's dinner will be held on Monday evening, Feb. 20, in Norton hall, is not without precedent. Ever since her election as president of the association, Jane C. O'Malley, DDS '23, has been seeking means of resolving the confusion which her colleagues sense in the a'umni mind. To put the association on a solid footing and develop a program of interest to more alumni, she believes a plan of re-organization may be necessary. Some study already has been made, and the beginning of a plan has been evolved. To discuss the problem with the alumni body's representatives on the University council seemed the next logical step. This Alumni Council Chairman Charles Diebold Jr., LLB '97, also thought sensible. So notices have been sent to the members of the two groups, which are the only two official, central agencies of alumni effort. What will merge from the discussion is unpredictable, but it is safe to say that the two groups will be in accord on one fundamental objective—the welfare of the university through its alumni. Branch Clubs to Hold Spring Meetings Capen, Groh and Wylegala to Speak BINGHAMTON The annual dinner meeting of the Southern Tier Alumni association is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 25 in Binghamton. Victor B. Wylegala, LLB '19 of Buffalo, judge of the Children's court of Erie county, will be the principal speaker. Notices have been the 100 alumni of the six counties in the club area: Broome, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware, O t s ego and Tioga. President Carl S. Benson, MD '22 of BingC.S.BENSON,'22 hamton and his committee anticipate a good attendance at the meeting, which is traditionally held on the nearest convenient date to University sent to day. PITTSBURGH To Pittsburgh's Metropolitan club on Tuesday, Feb. 28 have been invited all the alumni within a radius of 60 miles, to hear Chancellor Capen and organize No. 14 on the list of alumni branch clubs.

It explains to those who hare contributed to the institution's support, what progress has been made possible by their generosity. The University of Buffalo is a public institution. Although it is supported by voluntary donations and by fees, the services that it renders are public services. They touch the life of nearly every citizen of Buffalo. The quality of the services rendered to the citizens of Buffalo in the professions of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, law, teaching, business technology and social welfare depends to a large degree upon the quality of the University of Buffalo, because that institution prepares the majority of local practitioners in all of these professions. The citizens of this community, therefore, must be deeply concerned with the efficiency of the university and with the adequacy of the opportunities that it provides for general and for professional higher education. The citizens have already shown that they realize the importance of the university to the life of the community. In fact the University of Buffalo is more exclusively the creation of the city whose name it bears than is any other privately controlled university in the United States. It is 92 years old, but during the first 74 years of its existence it had no endowment. It lived on student fees and occasional contributions from friends. In 1920, and again in 1929, the council ot the university appealed to the whole community for the resources needed to enable the institution to carry out its function of furnishing higher liberal and professional education to those young people of this region who were unable to seek such education elsewhere. The response of the community to these appeals has never been equalled. The University of Buffalo, as it is today, is a monument to the altruism and civic patriotism of the citizens of Buffalo. The following table gives a bird's-eye view of some of the developments which the contributions of the citizens of Buffalo have made possible during the 18-year period since the first general appeal for funds was made: GROWTH IN EIGHTEEN YEARS - lumber of students enrolled 1265 4945 lumber of tull-cime members of ■faculties __.-. *30 129 lumber of colleges and professional schools in the university 11 organization 5 ~ lumber of buildings on campus 0 12 lumber of buildings downtown— 4 4 Jumber of books and pamphlets 43,074 237,248 in libraries The new divisions of the university, established since 1920, are the School of Business Administration, the School of Education, the School of Social Work, Millard Fillmore college, the Summer session, and the Division of Nursing. The new buildings erected by the university since 1920 are Foster hall, the gift of Orin E. Foster and family; Crosby hall, the gift of William H. Crosby and family.; Lockwood Memorial library, the gift of Thomas B. Lockwood and Marion Birge Lockwood; Norton hall, erected through a-bequest of the late Chancellor Charles P. Norton; the Irwin B. Clark Memorial gymnasium, erected through a bequest of the late Evelyn Howes Clark; the Central Heating plant, Service building, and University Book store. No buildings have been built except to provide facilities urgently needed for the instruction or the recreation of students. The council of the university has endeavored to apply as large a percentage as possible of all unrestricted gifts to the building up of a permanent endowment fund. Theincome from the invested funds, as was pointed out in the 1938 Report of the Chancellor, is only 21.3 percent of the total income of the university. The remainder comes from fees paid by students. The stability of the university is in constant jeopardy as long as so large a proportion of its income is derived from student fees. The most pressing need of the university is for unrestricted additions to its endowment fund to enable it to maintain its existing standards and to expand its instructional services. When citizens consider their income tax liability for the calendar year, those who are in a position to do so think of the gifts they can make for religious, charitable, and educational purposes. A gift to the University of Buffalo is a deductible contribution up to 15 per cent of the donor's income, and comes from the highest bracket of the donor's income, whether the tax rate on such bracket be 12 per cent or 79 per cent. A bequest to the university is also exempt from the inheritance taxes which range from 2 per cent to 70 . per cent. No institution will administer such gifts and bequests more effectively for the welfare of this community as a whole than will the University of Buffalo, which has operated on a balanced budget during these depression years. The university deserves the support of all good citizens on the basis of its accomplishments and its potentialities for even greater usefulness. MACHLUP ON LEAVE Dr. Fritz Machlup, professor of economics, is on leave of absence this semester, and lecturing at Harvard. His place is being taken by Dr. Mandell M.

Bureau Urges Job Seekers to Register Positions Unfilled for Lack of Applicants University personnel officers have repeat- ed the invitation to alumni seeking employment or improvement in their jobs. to register with the Alumni Placement service. This service has been in operation for several years, and operates in Edmund Hayes hali under the joint direction of Margaret L. Holmes, BA 29 and Richard J. R. Morris, BA "35. "The Alumni Placement service is designed to serve alumni from the time of graduation," Mr. Morris points out. "Any alumnus who is unemployed B. J. R. MORRIS, '35 or who wants to seek a position better than his present one. should register with the Placement office, 192 Hayes hall. This of course does not assure placement. The Placement office cannot work miracles. It cannot find jobs which do not exist, nor can it place people in positions for which they are not qualified. "However, frequently employers do call us for especially qualified people who can fill good jobs. During the past months we have had three positions paying $3000 a year. We were able to fill but one. because suitable people had not registered with us. We can only refer to the employer those people who have indicated to us that they are interested and have given us some record of their qualifications. Therefore, unemployed alumni or others interested in possible position openings, should register with this office. Registration does not ensure employment, but it does assure that you will not be overlooked if suitable jobs become available. "The Placement service is a co-operative enterprise. Not only does it need suitable applicants, but more jobs. It would seem that many alumni should be in a position to refer to us jobs which are available in the organization with which they may be connected. In other universities a large proportion of placement is made through alumni employers. Any alumnus who has been employed for a few years must come in contact with jobs which could be filled by students of this university. If this were brought to our attention, he would be rendering a service to his Alma Mater. "The Alumni Placement service has been organized to serve alumni. However, to succeed, it must have alumni co-operation. If you want a job, register with this office. If you know of an available job, please inform us so that we may refer a fellow alumnus to it." Where Are They Now? Mail addressed to the following alumni has been returned for lack of correct addresses. Classmates or other acquaintances who know of their whereabouts are requested to send the proper information to the Alumni Office. AC Schneider, Fred N., "21 LAST ADDRESS Broadway. R. F.

They represented persons who received degrees, diplomas or certificates in the mid-year commencement exercises on University day. Twenty-nine persons who had received other screeds in previous years, brought the mid-year class up to 149, largest in the university's history. To David Lawrence, editor, publisher, political commentator and author, went the 12th edition of the Chancellor's medal. David Lawrence grew up in Buffalo and began there the journalistic career which today makes him known to millions of Americans. He was associated with the old Buffalo Express during his high school career, and became Princeton correspondent of the Associated Press while in college. He joined the A. P. staff in Washington in 1910, covered revolutions in Mexico, the Wilson presidential campaign and other exciting events. Later as Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post he received wide acclaim for his coverage and accurate forecasting of results of the 1916 presidential conventions; covered the Peace conference after the war and traveled in Great Britain and Italy with President Wilson. In 1919 he established his own press association, the Consolidated PresSj and in 1926 founded the United States Daily, a newspaper published in Washington and devoted to reporting the affairs of government without comment or interpretation. In 1933 it became a weekly. Mr. Lawrence is best known for his syndicated column of opinion which is printed in approximately 150 newspapers with an aggregate circulation of approximately 7,500,000. Speaker of the occasion was President Edmund Ezra Day of Cornell, whose ringing address on "What Threatens American Democracy" was widely reported in the daily press. Most striking figure in the academic procession, which each year becomes more colorful, was Chancellor Capen who wore the red gown of a doctor of laws from McMaster university. to bring guests. NEW CAP AND GOWN HEAD Mrs. Marion Macdonald Kelleran, BA *26, onetime editor of the Bee and other- wise active undergraduate, was elected chairman of the alumnae members of Cap and Gown, women's honorary society, at the annual dinner recently. Margaret L. Holmes, BA '29, the university's personnel adviser for women, was elected secretarytreasurer. Kurtz Book Praised Many favorable comments have come to Dr. Leonard P. Kurtz, assistant professor of Romance languages, on his new book, Beyond No Man's Land. Dr. William Lyon Phelps of Yale, Dr. John L. Grieg of Columbia and Dr. Louis Cons of Harvard are among those who have offered commendations. The book presents a memoir of Dr. Kurtz' World war service with the A. E. F. his capture by the Germans and his experiences as a prisoner of the Central powers. TWELFTH MEDALIST Former Buffalonian David Lawrence receives the university's accolade. �UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 2 in Defenses Students Favor Increase Policy Approved American Foreign With straw pols now claiming wide attention, the Bee. undergraduate weekly, has made a survey of student opinion on national politics and American foreign poliq', with some interesting results. Political preferences were registered as follows: Liberal Republicans 30 per cent; New Deal 18 per cent; Republicans 17 per cent; Conservative Democrats 8 per cent; Socialists 7 per cent. Twenty per cent had no preference. Eighty-two per cent favored increases in national defenses. New Dealers and those without preference voted heavily in the affirmative. Eighty per cent approved the administrations^ policy of making the country more war conscious, but the Socialists split evenly on the question. Seventy-eight per cent disapproved the sale of airplanes, guns and other munitions containing new military secrets to France and England. Sixty-five per cent favored the Roosevelt policy of moral discrimination against totalitarian states, with the New Deal's friends overwhelmingly affirmative. Fifty-eight per cent said no to the question: Do you favor discrimination in the sale of war supplies? The dissenting group consisted of Republicans, Liberal Republicans and Socialists. The Bee's report does not indicate whether the vote reflects the sentiments of the parents.

It was delivered at the joint dinner of the trustees of the General Alumni association and the members of the Alumni council on University day. By Jane C. O'Mallcy, DDS '23 In accepting the presidency of the General Alumni association of the University of Buffalo, there are two widely different elements that I think must be considered and emphasized. The first is, naturally, the honor done me. At this I cannot curtsy deeply enough, and coming as it does, from the hands of my fellow alumni, it arouses in me a surge of loyal devotion as well as of gratitude. But if this were all, how slight would be my labor now and hereafter! The task of wearing an honor gracefully is hardly distasteful or difficult for a woman. Though she may cavil, womanwise, at the pattern of a coronet, she will teach herself to adjust her head and her hair to it, and the poise of her neck, too, in a surprisingly short time and with surprisingly little trouble. But this is not all. And to show how deeply conscious I am of the other element, namely, of the responsibility of this office, let me begin by developing what is meant by an alumni body. If all the graduates of a college or university when their degrees are rolled and signed and handed to them, cast into a corner the memories of their student days together with discarded gowns and textbooks—if they settled down to forgetting all they learned, and erased to smoothness the stamp that college has given them, then I am president of an army of unsubstantial shadows and have nothing more to do than wear my honor like a ribbon that flashes in the sunlight and flutters in the breeze. But this is not true and roar from many throats throughout the land. the denial would like a tempest The alumni body of a university is the university itself spread far beyond her gates in circles that widen and widen and widen with the years. It is the wisdom of the university finding flesh-and-blood expression in the lives of men and women, who are living what they have learned. It is the sacred honor of the university set forth, not in the lifeless pages of commencement speeches, but in deeds that leaven, and uplift the age that witnesses them. It is the love of the university burning active and warm in the hearts of her fledglings who have never forgotten, never have lost touch with the aerie where their wings grew strong. No army of unsubstantial shadows, then is it mine to be president of. Going now more into detail, we have alumni here in our great city of Buffalo, we have alumni in other cities and in foreign lands. Let them establish contact with us so that we may know more than their mere numbers. There are alumni bodies that represent the different professions, that represent commerce which has come to be no mean profession. Let them keep us apprised of their achievements; they are Buffalo men and Buffalo women. Then we have social organizations to keep alumni in touch one with the other, one and all with Alma Mater. We would be informed of their doings and their plans. Finally, there is the university itself with her wide campus that grows ever more historic. With her we pledge ourselves to keep in contact, seeking guidance and inspiration. These last we can never lack while such a man as our esteemed Chancellor Capen sits at the helm guiding the destinies of the University of Buffalo, aided by his able and scholarly faculty and council. My definite duty and warm ambition, alumni of the University of Buffalo, is to unite more closely, so as to urge forward in more compact phalanx all the elements in our great alumni body. Explicitly I bespeak the aid of the Alumni council, that I may reach all or be reached by all, overlooking none. I would have a far-flung movement of awakening, of rising to our feet, of grasping the weapons we have learned to use, and then., forward Buffalo men and women, forward on every front, forward in the cause of a higher civilization!

Dr. Machlup is on leave of absence this semester, and is teaching at Harvard. Medics Meet April 22 First announcements concerning the Medical Alumni association's fifth annual spring clinical day and 64th anniversary banquet were sent out a few days ago by President George E. Slotkin, MD '11. The held in the main ballroom of Buffalo's Statler hotel, starting at 8:30 ers includes Dr. Elmore B. Tauber, professor of dermatology at the Uni- versity of Cincin- Casparis, professor of pediatrics in the G M. SLOTKIN, '11 Vanderbuilt university School of Medicine; Dr. Edward H.

Mock, associate professor of surgery, Northwestern university Medical school; Dr. E. Perry McCullagh, director of the department of endocrinology and metabolism at the Cleveland clinic and Dr. David L. Thomson, professor of biochemistry, McGill university. The program promises a splendid array of scientific exhibits. The usual noonday luncheon will be held, and the annual dinner in the evening will feature not one speaker, "but a whole show, which will not only be entertaining, but scientifically instructive." Classes which were graduated at fiveyear intervals from 1879 on will hold their quinquennial reunions the night before. Present records show that the Class of '79 has five survivors out of an original 43. Pool Fund Mounting Though no appeals for gifts to the Alumni Swimming pool fund have been made for nearly a year, contributions still continue to trickle in. The latest two are from Sidney S. M. Marks, DDS '18 and William S. Muehleck, DDS '37. Alumni frequently ask what was done with the money, since the campaign fell short of the amount necessary to build the pool in the new gymnasium. The last report of the comptroller shows the money safely held in trust by the university, and there the alumni leaders intend to leave it until it can be enlarged sufficiently to do the job. The comptroller's figures showed $8,876.07 on deposit as of June 30, 1938. The amount is now in excess of $9,000. Adding to it the campaign expenses and some pledges made during the drive brings the total figure reached by the workers up to $10,994.67. �4 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN PLEASE ALUMNI COUNCIL OFFICERS Charles Diebold Jr., LLB '97, chairman: E.

Both were made in recognition of cultural projects begun experimentally at the university some time ago. The sum of $23,000 is given for development of the program of fine arts which the university has been conducting in co-operation with the Buffalo School of Fine Arts and the Albright Art gallery. The university now grants two degrees for work done in the field of fine arts —bachelor of fine arts and, for those who intend to teach, bachelor of science in education. The university also assists the art gallery on its adult education program. One of its major contributions has been the lecture series on history of art, by John I. Sewall, professorial lecturer in art. The second gift—sl7,ooo—will allow the university to enlarge its unique library of books and manuscripts of modern poetry. This project was begun in the spring of 1938, when Librarian Charles D. Abbott went to England and accumulated manuscripts and work sheets of more than 100 English poets. He will now undertake a similar project among contemporary American poets. a trust The collection has caused wide comment in scholarly and literary circles. Its purpose is to preserve manuscripts and worksheets of poets from 1880 to the present day. They will represent in the most complete fashion possible the poetic activity of the period for the benefit of future students of our times, and will show the progress of creative thought of literary persons. The British poets were highly enthusiastic about the idea and every single one interviewed contributed or promised to deposit manuscripts in the Lockwood Memorial library's archives. The project got considerable space in the British newspapers, and is now attracting visitors from American colleges and universities, some of whom are setting up imitations in their own libraries. Mr. Abbott has already received manuscripts from more than 40 American poets, and the grant will make it possible for him to comb the country in person for many more. This is the second time the Carnegie corporation has appropriated money for the two projects. In 1934 the university received a gift of teaching materials in fine arts valued at $5000, and it was a grant of $1500 in 1937 which enabled the university to start its poetry collection last year. Guest of honor at the annual meeting of the New York Dental Alumni association was Associate Dean Russell W. Groh, '18. Approximately 50 practitioners from the metropolitan area enthusiastically applauded his message, drank toasts to their Alma Mater, stood for a minute of silent prayer for the late Edward P. Stanton, '11 of New York, and elected officers. Bernard Katzenstein, '18, of New York, succeeds David B. Jacobs, '18 of Far Rockaway as FATZENSTEIN, '18 president, and Albert C. Dumke, "17 of Beacon becomes secretary-treasurer. The nominating committee was headed by Harold S. Horton, '14, of Brooklyn. WASHINGTON Celebrating the first anniversary of its reorganization, members of the Washington Alumni club held a luncheon in the Women's City club in February. Center of attraction on the table was a big cake iced in white with blue trimming, topped with irises and a solitary candle. President Evelyn Kunkle Welling, BA '27 officiated at the cake-cutting ceremonial. Then lights were dimmed and university campus movies were run off by Frederick F. Dick, AC "14 and William Misiek, BS '27, with Mrs. Kunkle as narrator. A St. Patrick's day party was held in mid-March, with Jean G. Hamilton, BA "30 as chairman and Ruth F. Peters, BA "34, Georgina Bingert, ex-Arts and Genevieve M. Grotjan, BA '36 as assistant hostesses. Secretary Hildegarde Poppenberg Redding, LLB '25 reports that the program included bingo, Chinese checkers, bridge, poker and chess.

Fiero, PhD '31 on "Hydrogenatecl Caster Oil in Ointments—Product of Sulfonation." �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Minor Sports Fared Best This Season FOOTBALL "The news that Fritz Febel as line coach next fall removed another cloud from the rapidly clearing gridiron skies of the Blue and White, with equipment issued to 44 candidates, most of whom have been reporting daily." Thus spoke the Bee in mid-April about spring football practice, which has been under way nearly a month. Utilizing the dirt floor of the Alumni Swimming pool pit, Head Coach Jim PeeMe has been able to start practice earlier than ever before, and was so heartened over the squad's condition by Ash Wednesday that he called off practice during the Easter holidays. Outdoor practice was to be started on resumption of instruction. Whether an alumni-varsity game would be played on Moving Up day, May 6, was still in doubt. If such a contest cannot be arranged this year, two picked teams will play a regulation game as a climax to the day's activities.

Finishing eighth in a field of 16 colleges, they had the thrill of seeing George Lesser win 12 consecutive epee matches and upset the defending titlist for Class A championship. Earlier in the day he had narrowly missed the sabei crown, bowing only to the final victor, an Olympic team member. Lesser is himself being mentioned for the U. S. team in the 1940 Olympics. WRESTLING The varsity grapplers also got tournament fever after winning five matches, tying one and losing one. They entered the Tri-State Intercollegiate meet at Case, where Sid Warren took a third place medal in the 135-pound class. .. . . . . ..

JIMMY GRIFFIN DEAD A faithful follower of the Blue and White squads has passed. At the age of 53, Jimmy Griffin, athletic trainer for more than 20 years, died of heart disease on March 26. He had been suffering severely for the last two years, but had managed to carry on between attacks. Jimmy attended Canisius college and Niagara university, was a star baseball and football player and after college was a minor league catcher and an International league umpire.

Recent sessions have gone by with very little such public recognition of the athletic teams. Lately the Alumni club has done something along those lines, though the gathering has usually been modest, quiet and small. This year the Block B dinner seemed like old times. When graduates, athletes, facultymen and townsfolk sat down, they jammed the Hotel Buffalo ballroom. Roast chicken and ice cream were disposed of. Then Ex-Football and Basketball Captain James J. Ailinger, DDS '25 called the meeting to order and introduced Ralph Hubbell, prominent Buffalo sports announcer. Toastmaster Hubbell presented Chancellor Capen, who made the letter awards; Football Coach Charley Bachman of Michigan State college and Biffy Lee who was Buffalo coach ten years ago. It was Lee who sounded the most optimistic note about Buffalo's future, and who reminded his listeners that the university administration's much misunderstood attitude toward ethical athletics was as favorable ten years ago as it is now. Alumni club members were so pleased with the job of Walter S. Behrens, DDS '30 as general chairman of the dinner, that at the annual meeting a few nights later they elected him president. He succeeds Allen R. Long, MD '21, who has seen the club through a trying period of reactivation. Other officers for 1939-40 are: Vice president. Freshman Basketball Coach Robert P. Harrington, LLB '32; secretary, Harold M. Baumler, LLB '26; treasurer, Arnott A. Moore, DDS '15. The dinner outlined some of the athletic plan which President Behrens and his board now intend to carry through. An attempt will be made to raise the membership from 500 to 2000 by next fall, with membership fees going into the new fund for Rhodes type scholarships. 92 MD—Barton T. McDowell of Bristol Cen[cr.

WORLD'S FAIR VISITORS NOTE Buffalo civic leaders are sponsoring a campaign to persuade Western and Middle Western visitors to the New York World's fair to travel by way of Buffalo. They point to the city as an ideal stopping place in summer, on a scenic route which can easily include Niagara Falls. An additional attraction to alumni living west of the city is the location of the university campus on Route 5, the principal east-west thoroughfare. Those who have not been back since the site was occupied in 1921 will find something worth inspecting. The Buffalo Junior Chamber of Commerce is urging alumni of the Buffalo area to invite friends and business contacts by using miniature photostickers, one of which is reproduced below. They may be obtained from the Junior chamber at small cost. Council Voting Nears Three alumni members of the University council and one representative of the Athletic council will be chosen in the annual postal elections next month. Notice to that effect went out in the mails a fortnight ago to the 8800 degree-holding alumni of the university. Certificates and diplomas rank lower academically than degrees, and entitle their holders to no vote. Nominations are in order during the month. They must be filed with the secretaries of the two councils at Townsend hall on or before May 1. Immediately thereafter, all voters will receive biographical sketches of the candidates, with instructions to cast their ballots by the end of the month.

M., reception to the University council, graduating class, alumni and faculty by Chancellor and Mrs. Capen, Twentieth Century club, 595 Delaware avenue. Wednesday, June 14, 10:30 A. M., 93rd annual Commencement, Buffalo Consistory, address by Dr. James R. Angell, president emeritus of Yale university; 4 to 6 P. M., reception to Education graduating class by Commencement season, by all official definitions, is the week of graduation. But at Buffalo, so many other activities point toward Commencement, that the season may well be considered to start the first week in May and continue to that June day when one more academic procession ushers nearly 500 newcomers through the gates of the brave new world. As though suddenly realizing that they had a few scant days in which to get their last enjoyment out of college, the Classes of 1939 celebrated Senior week May 1 to 6 with especial ardor. Despite a slump in the temperature, they strode from class to class in caps and gowns, pinned roses on all comers, planted an ivy shrub next Hayes hall, held their own convocation, held a private luncheon, and joined the rest of the student body in celebrating Moving Up the Alumni in Education, Norton hall. Grads Pick Councilors Buffalo graduates this month are balloting for their candidates for University council member. Under the statute, a third of the council must be chosen by the alumni, and three are selected each year. day. Then came the last few 'days of study, for which nobody has yet found a better word than cramming; final examinations, and that jittery hiatus until results are announced and Commencement invitations can be sent to proud relations. There will be still more activity for most seniors, before Chancellor Capen surrenders the sheepskins and certificates. On Baccalaureate Sunday, June 11, he will deliver his parting address to the graduating class, traditionally a masterpiece of rhetoric. Social events will fill more hours until Wednesday, when the university's 93rd annual Commencement will be held in the Buffalo Consistory. The main address will be delivered by Dr. James Rowland Angell, one time president of Yale university, now educational counselor for the National Broadcasting company. Dr. Angell is a native Vermontian who received his bachelor's degree at the University of Michigan, stayed on for his master's degree, took another at Harvard and has since been awarded doctor's degrees by 21 colleges and universities. He traveled and studied in Europe, was a student at the Universities of Berlin and Halle. In 1893 he began teaching as an instructor in philosophy at the University of Minnesota. Soon he became director of the psychology laboratory and rose to assistant NBC'S ANGELL In radio's realm he does not fear to tread and then associate professor. In 1905 he went to the University of Chicago as professor and head of the psychology department. He became senior dean in 1908 and from 1911 to 1919 was dean of the faculties. He was acting president in 1918-19. Yale called him to its presidency in 1921 and there he remained until his retirement in 1937. He has been with NBC since. Dr. Angell has been an officer or director of various psychological and educational associations. For his services to the Allies during the World war he was decorated by the French and Italian governments. He holds the gold medal of the National Institute of Social Science. He is the author of several textbooks on psychology and has contributed to various scientific journals. The formal list of Commencement week events follows: Sunday, June 11, 4 P. M., Baccalaureate exercises, Edmund Hayes hall, address by Chancellor Capen; Monday, June 12, Phi Beta Kappa fraternity installation of new members and annual dinner. Tuesday, June 13, 12:30 P.

King, MD '96; Elmer C. Miller, LLB "15; Valentine E. O'Grady, LLB, '16. Under the rules of the election, no two alumni of the same division may be elected in the same year. Voters are cautioned, therefore, not to vote for two holders of the same degree, because their ballots will become void. Mr. Goetz, Judge Harris and Dr. King are candidates for re-election. Dr. Connolly, an active worker in the Niagara Falls A'umni association, is the first out-of-Buffalo candidate in a long time. The Athletic council election is also under way. Karl W.

FLICKINGER SCHOLARSHIP A scholarship in economics in the College of Arts and Sciences is provided for in the will of the late Smith M. Flickinger, Buffalo grocer who died several weeks ago. The principal sum is $10,000 which is to be held by the university, and the income paid to the scholarship winner. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Teacher Alumni Told about Inquiry choice of A hundred and fifty Buffalo alumni who teach in high schools of the Buffalo area were guests of their Alma Mater at a dinner conference on the implications of the Regents" Inquiry for high school teachers, one evening last month. Prof. Henry C. Mills of the University of Rochester, one time Buffalo faculty member, was principal speaker. He gave a comprehensive report on the $500,000 study, and joined in an enthusiastic and sometimes heated forum on it. Another speaker was Dr. Earl J. McGrath, BA '28, MA '30, who has been on leave of absence from the university staff for the last year, while carrying on special work for the American Council on Education in Washington. After describing some of the activities of the National Youth commission, Alumnus McGrath emphasized the importance of teacher influence on youths decision to go to college, recommended that his listeners consider Buffalo as a logical place for boys and girls of superior mentality. Well aware that high school teachers VAIL GOING WEST Dr. Curtis C. D. Vail, for 12 years a member of the German department, has accepted appointment as chairman of the department of Germanic languages and literature at the University of Washington in Seattle. The appointment is effective next year. Catholic Book Shelf Seventy-three books and seven periodicals have been placed in Lockwood Memorial library through the efforts of the University's Roman Catholic alumni and the Newman club. Sparkplug of the project was the Rev. Raymond P. Murray, counselor to Catholic students. The Catholic shelf in the library's reference room is not limited to religion and ethics, but includes biography, psychology, fiction, poetry and drama, history, science and sociology. It also contains works of the eminent scholars brought to campus by the Newman club, such as Monsignor Barry O'Toole, Monsignor Fulton J. Sheen, Abbe Dimnet, Dr. Mortimer J. Adler and Arnold Lunn.

Less bold than many of her neighbors in this respect. Buffalo has this year undertaken to supply to her nearby teaching graduates, materials for aid in helping pupils decide. A series of "Handbooks tor Student Advisers" is now in process of production The first two which have emerged are "Which College?" and "Careers for the University Graduate." while a third, "New Horizons in Pharmacy" will be in the mail by June 1.

As yet unnamed are still others concerning the other professions for which Buffalo offers preparation. ' ' Brandeis Gives Books Since his retirement from the United States Supreme court. Justice Louis D. Brandeis has been pursuing a policy of disseminating parts of his personal library. Manifesting his interest in the University of Buffalo Law school, the jurist has made a gift of important legal documents, it was announced some time ago by Dean Francis M. Shea. There are thr**-briefs drawn by him. a quarter of a century ago in some famous litigation over maximum hours and minimum wages for women. The briefs marked the development of his special technique in presenting constitutional argument. Another important record is that of the committee investigating the BallingerPinchot controversy, in which Mr. Brandeis was counselor for Louis Glavis, and as such in substance presented the public's case against Ballinger's administration ■of Alaskan affairs. The hearings before the House committee investigating the U. S. Steel corporation in 1911, which played an important part in the subsequent prosecution of the corporation on anti-trust charges, are also represented. Another volume contains the record of hearings of the Senate committee on Interstate Commerce in 1912. It disclosed essential issues in the anti-monopoly struggle of that period. The briefs and records are all autographed, as are his own book on "Scientific Management," (1911), Carnahan's casebook on "Conflict of Laws" and the record of the Sacco-Venzetti case. Prof. Louis L. Jaffe and Prof. David Reisman Jr., of the Law school faculty, both have served as secretaries to Justice Brandeis. Buffalo on the Air Another pioneering job was credited to the university recently when it sponsored a series of radio round table discussions of the Regents' Inquiry into the Character and Cost of Public Education in New York State. The series was conceived in response to public demand for more light on the $500,000 survey, of which Chancellor Capen was associate director. The study was completed last year, and since that time the Inquiry staff's reports and recommendations have been appearing in book form. While the teaching profession is more or less aware of the import of the findings and recommendations the general public is not. Expensive Saturday night time was donated by Station WBEN, and specialists from the Inquiry staff, as well as parents, teachers and administrators from Western New York, participated in the panel discussions of the major issues, many of which are highly controversial. From the staff came Dr. Alonzo G. Grace, commissioner of education of the state of Connecticut, co-author of the volume on "State Aid and School Costs"; Thomas O. Marshall, MA '29 of Rochester, co-author of the volume on "When Youth Leave School"; Dr. Thomas L. Norton, university associate professor of economics, who wrote "Education for Work." and Dr. Capen. Several alumni were on the citizens' panel: Gerald A. Wilber, BS (Ed) *28, EdM '35, EdD '39, supervising principal of schools at Falconer, N. V.; William T. Hoag, AC 21, BS '22 EdM '34, supervising principal at Angola, N. V.; Helen R. Cornell, EdM "34, instructor in English at Hutchinson-Central high school; William J. Regan, LLB '18, EdM '36, principal of Buffalo Girls' Vocational high school, and Alumni Secretary William G. Cook, BS "27 who acted as master of ceremonies. Win Academic Awards Three new alumni have received academic awards for next year. Arthur Kemp, who got his bachelor's degree in business administration in February, has accepted a graduate assistantship at Northwestern university, while Stanley Klaiber, BA "38 has a similar appointment in the physics department at Yale. Helmuth Wedow Jr., BA '37, who has been graduate assistant in the geology department at Buffalo since his graduation, goes to Ohio State university on a scholarship which will enable him to work for a doctor's degree. He had his choice of offers from Ohio State, and the Universities of Illinois, lowa and Oklahoma, and was an alternate for appointments at Northwestern and the University of Michigan. �3 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN Summer Session Completes First 25-Year Run Twenty-five years ago the Summer session was established as a hopeful and modest adjunct to the baby College of Arts and Sciences. Since then it has grown by leaps and bounds to a whacking institute attracting hundreds of undergraduates, alumni and friends. For six weeks they play, study, go on tours in Buffalo's traditionally clement mid-year weather. This year's silver anniversary session starts July 5, ends August 12. No believer in fanfare is its director, Education's Dean Leslie O. Cummings, robust Harvardian and ex-service man. He plans no special celebration, continues to make quiet announcements concerning things to come. Typical statement: "The Summer session is small enough to allow, and in fact stresses, personal contact with instructors. Every effort is made to make the entire life of the campus an essential part of the education of students. The recreational and social activities, as well as those of classrooms, the assembly program, the hours spent with friends in the student union, are all considered a part of the opportunity for enriching the social and intellectual life of students." To achieve such ends, all the resources of the university are available to studentsLaboratories are open, not only for regular instruction, but also for individual research by qualifying students. Library facilities are available day and night. Norton hall, center of social life, throws open its theater, its cafeteria, lounges, game rooms and reading rooms. Playing fields provide facilities for tennis, golf, archery and baseball. Friday night dances are a regular item. The assembly period, the third hour of each school day, is an integral part of the Summer session program. Lectures are developed around a central theme. The theme for the 1939 Summer session is The Techniques of Change for a Democracy. The division co-operates with various other divisions of the university in offering courses which are essentially equivalent in method, character and credit value to those of the regular year. Those divisions are the College, which embraces the committee on graduate study in arts and sciences; the School of Business Administration, the School of Education, the Library Science curriculum, the School of Medicine, the Division of Nursing and the School of Social Work. Inquiries regarding the degree procedures of these divisions should be addressed to the appropriate deans. The Summer session also co-operates with the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences and with St. Mary's School for the Deaf. Classes, with few exceptions, are held the university campus. The exceptions: Library science at Grosvenor library; bacteriology, orthopedics, electrotherapy, hyon He does DIRECTOR not plan a special celebration drotherapy, therapeutic exercise and medical aspects of social work at Edward J. Meyer Memorial hospital; teaching of the deaf at St. Mary's School for the Deaf, not far from campus; field courses in zoology at the Allegany School of Natural History in Allegany State park. The faculty includes a large number of the regular staff and is supplemented by visiting lecturers from other institutions and leading teachers and administrators from public school systems closely associated with the university. Among this year's visiting lecturers are E. Blanchard Brown, Rhode Island School of Design; Amy C. Smith, Buffalo public schools; Elizabeth Weiffenbach, director of university art courses, Buffalo public schools; James W. Milnor, Oyster Bay public schools; Kathleen F. Sherlock, Buffalo public schools; Mildred C. Green, Buffalo School of Fine Arts; Georgiana Maar, Garden City public schools; Floyd F. Burtchett, assistant professor of banking and finance, University of California: Samuel Engle Burr, superintendent of the New Castle Special School district, Delaware; Donald Super, assistant professor of educational psychology, Clark university; George F. Wessel, EdM '37, Kenmore pubHe schools; John D. Scheller, Amherst Central high school; Gerald A. Wilber, BS (Ed) '28, EdM '35, EdD "39, supervising principal, Falconer public schools; George L. Small, Niagara Falls public schools; John P. Rybak, instructor, St. Mary's School for the Deaf; Lulu M. Bruce, Kentucky School for the Deaf; Helen Jackson, Kenmore public schools; Aretas A. Saunders, Bridgeport public schools; Robert B. Gordon, director, Allegany School of Natural History; William P. Alexander, Hayes professor of natural science and as- sistant curator of education, Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences. Because many teachers enroll in the Summer session, an enterprise known as the Co-operative Youth group has proved exceedingly popular. It is made up of carefully selected high school students, who have the fun of being in college with few of its worries. They work with the education instructors in demonstration classes in the teaching of secondary school subjects. They assist enthusiastically in putting on the social and recreational program. They participate in such projects as movie-making and play-production. This year they will supply a 36-voice chorus under the direction of Director Wallace A. Van Lier, A special group of older youth this year will be drawn to co-operate with instructors in a new course bearing the title: "Experiment in Adjustment of Educational Offerings to Needs of Out-of-School Youth." School administrators, too, find things of value in the Summer session. For them the Administrators' Round table has been created. It gives an opportunity for a limited number to participate in timely discussions of educational questions facing them in the administration of their schools. Participation in discussions, for which some preparation is necessary, under leaders appearing in the assembly program, is facilitated by the use of carefully prepared discussion guides. The round table meets during the assembly hour, hears the speaker of the day, then holds its discussion for the rest of the morning and during lunch. Altogether ten such meetings are scheduled. In addition to the art courses, most of which are in techniques, an art lecture series on "Modern Trends in Art" will be given by Harry W. Jacobs, consultant in art education and supervisor in art education, Buffalo public schools. Students are admitted to the Summer session without examination. They may enroll in any course which, in the judgment of the instructor, they are qualified to enter by reason of previous training or experience. Courses are accepted toward degrees on the same basis as those of the regular sessions. Whether or not students are working for degrees, they receive certificates of attendance including statements of grades and credits for all courses taken. Student expecting to count credit toward a degree in another institution should secure in advance the written aproval of his proposed registration by the other institution. The tuition fee per semester hour of credit is $10. Norton hall membership fee for the six weeks is $1.50. There is a minimum charge of $25 for graduate students carrying on research work only, or for those in masters' or doctors' conferences only. �The Campus and Nearby Spots Where Summen Session Students aud Faculty Work afd Play Good courts invite play « of «">" An corner 0 *"'"■<"" oj >»c g <>*■> t'~'p-Al,eli'"" The I*""? i, A challenge lift* to a young artist '^ Art studios always reveal busy uc �Lanterns on Norton hall terrace invite friendship f j*""dayn Nonigh "on ***" hall have "'mosphere "<"> hall ,l C*'*Aw tress through „ ■ reveal busy workers Sketching is fun in a setting like this �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO ALUMNAE Climaxing another successful year or" activity, the University of Buffalo Alumnae late in April held their annual banquet in Buffalo's Fairfax hotel.

Welcome ' BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION If anyone should understand that university operation has a business side, it is the Business Administration alumni. Thus Chancellor Capen was at home when he talked finances at the annual election din ncr of the Business Administration Alumni association early in May in the Fairfax hotel. "The decrease in large donations to private institutions is making it harder for the private college and university to survive.' PRESIDENTS Recently elected were top, Pharmacy's Alfieri, '23; at lower left. Alumnae's Mrs. Himmele, '34; lower right, Business AdministTOtoon's Stoll, "36. he declared. "Should the present trend continue, it may not be long before the publicly-supported institutions outnumber the privately-endowed institutions. "I think there is one character existing in the private-type institution that vastly outweighs those in the city and state institutions. That is the patriotism of the alumnus. Hardly one-third of the development that has taken place in the private organization would have occurred without the support of the alumnus. And if the alumnus continues to spread the atmosphere of interest and confidence in his school, the privately endowed institution will continue to live. Other speakers were Daniel W. Streeter, big game hunter; Athletic Director james E. Peele and Dean Ralph C. Epstein, who was toastmaster. Next year's officers: President, Marshall K. Stoll. BS (Ed) 36, star athlete, class president and all-round leader, who succeeds Robert E. Rich, 35; first vice president, Richard W. Collard, '35; second vice president, M.

To General Chairman Alice M. Kidder, EdM "36 and her committee goes credit for an eminently successful card party held in the Hotel Lafayette ballroom last month.

Carberry, BS 21. EdM '33; vice president, Miss Kidder; secretary-treasurer, B Edward Heckman, BS (Ed) '35. LAW When, in 1938, the Law school and its alumni association sponsored a legal institute running for five successive nights, the project was purely experimental. Its success convinced its sponsors that the event should be permanent. The second annual law institute wa» held on the first five nights of May. To Hotel Buffalo trooped alumni of all vintages, to hear facultymen and visiting experts on problems in conflict of laws, criminal law, and the law of sales, to learn more about the new bankruptcy act and matters affecting the drafting of wills and trusts in New York state. On the sixth night the association had its annual dinner, with Dean Lloyd K. Garrison of the University of Wisconsin Law school, and Judge Charles E. Clark, former dean of the Yale Law school and judge of �3 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN the Second U. S. Grcuit Court of Appeals, as guest speakers. Dean Francis M. Shea presided. To Dean Shea and President Morey C. Bartholomew, '09, go full credit for developing a new educational service to lawyers of the Buffalo area. Law institutes are a new movement in the legal profession, which fill an important need. They are run without profit, require work and thought, and are helpful to young and old practitioners. They have been enthusiastically received wherever they have been set up. MEDICINE Continued popularity of the spring clinic was evidenced by the attendance of nearly 600, recorded at the fifth annual venture held by the Medical Alumni association in Hotel Statler April 22. From 9 o'clock in the morning until 5 o'clock that afternoon graduates, students and visitors from other institutions streamed in and out of the convention hall to hear the seven visiting specialists, and to join in round table discussions led by Buffalo facultymen. Under the new constitution of the association, officers are elected in even years. This being the odd year, President George E. Slotkin, '11 and his board will carry on until 1940. At the annual business meeting, the membership elected Harry C. Guess, '12, as delegate to the board of trustees of the General Alumni association. Nine classes held five-year reunions in various parts of the city the night before. The list, with the chairmen of events, follows: '94—Hotel Markeen, Milton Messenger; '99—Buffalo club, Louis J. Beyer; "04—Buffalo club, John F. Fairbairn. Harry N. Feltes, Julius Richter; '09—Hotel Statler, Benjamin Jacobson; 14—Hotel Lafayette, Herbert H. Bauckus; 19—Hotel Lafayette, Edgar C. Beck; '24—Hotel Statier, Milton G. Potter; '29—Buffalo club. Stockton Kimball; '34—Westbrook apartments, J. Edwin Alford. PHARMACY Only Buffalo graduate group which singles out members of its profession for special honors is the Pharmacy Alumni association. Last year it founded the Gregory Memorial medal for award to some Western New York pharmacist who personifies the ideal of service and integrity in his profession. This year's medal went to Buffalo Alumnus James A. Donovan, '11, popular Kenmore proprietor. "Jim" Donovan got his first drugstore job at the age of 13. He decided to study pharmacy, and had a store of his own within three years after graduation. He is a past president of the Greater Buffalo Drug club and the Buffalo Pharmaceutical association, and served as vice president of the Pharmacy Alumni association in 1933-34. He is the father of Betty Donovan Tuck, BA '33, LS '34. In presenting the award at the annual dinner in April, Dean A. Bertram Lemon, '13 said, "Alert, honest, persuasive, with the courage of his Irish ancestry and the insight and understanding of a statesman, he has constantly fought for equitable trade practices in pharmacy and the management of those who will not adhere to ;. reasonable code of ethics and common decency.' Officers elected for next year were: President, Theodore A. Alfieri, '23 of Buffalo ; first vice president, J. Raymond Bressler, "20 of Rochester; second vice president, Leo F. Redden, '23 of Buffalo and secretary-treasurer, Madeline T. Schnabel, '22 of Buffalo. Retiring President J. Sinclair Hill, '26 of Niagara Falls and Ethel I. Woodward, '11 of Buffalo go on the executive committee, while Carleton P. Vernier, '33 of Buffalo goes to the board of trustees of the General Alumni association. The dinner ended the second annual twoday clinic to which scores of alumni from the Buffalo area came for professional refreshment. Unique Poets' Corner A new experimental course in British and American poetry—using original manuscripts, worksheets and notebooks, will be offered by the College this fall. The course is made possible by the university's unique collection of typical and significent materials supplied by more than 150 poets in the last year. Financed by two grants from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, {Bulletin, April ), Librarian Charles D. Abbott has visited the British Isles where he arranged for deposits by more than 100 British poets, and although the American part of the collection has scarcely been started, approximately 80 individuals have already contributed or agreed to contribute certain of their original creations to the university. The materials are stored in the Lockwood Memorial library. Librarian Abbott, who is also professor of English, will teach the new course, which will enroll a limited number of selected students. His hope is that there will grow out of it a graduate seminar for the more intensive study of the process of composition. The course will be based on the critical, appreciative and creative approach to the works of modern contemporaries. Since the materials are not fair and final copies, but genuine trial notes, rough drafts, corrected copies and random scrawls bearing on the poems, the student will get closer to tfie creative mechanism of the artist than the reader of the final printed copy ever could. The list of British contributors reads like a literary Who's Who. It includes such distinguished names as Padraic Colum, Walter de la Mare, Lord Dunsany, Oliver St. John Gogarty, Aldous and Julian Huxley and Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch. Among the Americans are Robert Frost, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Louis Untermeyer, Leonora Speyer, Genevieve Taggard and Louise Bogan. Alumni News Brevities '84 MD-Wallace J.

Alumni Club Starts Scholarship Drive Rhodes Type Foundation Is Plan Optimism pervades the University of Buffalo Alumni club, which is about to launch a drive for members whose dut-s will build up the new plan. scholarship fund. President Walter S. Behrens, DDS '30 points out that with the Rhodes type scholarship approved in principle by university authorities, the way is clear for every graduate to contribute to the project. Workers are being organized into groups for each school and division. In timetested campaign fashion they will contact the alumni throughout the Buffalo area, offering various classes of membership from associate at $2 a year to endowment at $2 50. Another committee will report shortly on the mechanics of the administration of the funds. Tentative plans embrace the organization of an alumni foundation of which the object would be the raising of current and endowment funds, investment of endowment and surplus and selection of scholarship material. Leaders propose that a' board of trustees shall administer affairs of the foundation. The board would be composed of three members of the University council, eight members of the Alumni council, two faculty members and two civic leaders. Scholarships would be awarded on the basis of scholastic ability, leadership and extra-curricular excellence. The Alumni club was organized in 1920, and for 11 years met in its own club house on North street. By 1931 the depression had taken such a toll of membership that the club gave up its house. A .few- sur-- -: vivors nursed the flagging spirit of' the organization, held meetings where they could get room. They reduced the dues to $2 a year and held a successful membership campaign in 1936. Encouraged by the response to an appeai for support of a program of student aid, the club holds frequent meetings, has busy committees, and is working closely with the university administration. Biggest lift to its hopes was given last fall when the University council re-affirmed its policy tflward student assistance in these words: "Resolved: That the Council of the University of Buffalo approves the creation of scholarships by organized groups of alumni of the university, the recipients of which may be designated by the organizations providing the scholarships, subject in each case to the approval of the university committee on scholarships and loans." ■ 408 Clinton St..

King, MD '96. He was elected chairman of the Alumni council at the annual meeting last June, to succeed Charles Diebold Jr., LLB '97. No abecedarian in alumni work, Dr. King was elected president of the Medical association in 1934, when it needed strenghthening, and saw alumni support shoot away up during his two years in office. He was also a trustee of the General Alumni association during that time, headed its finance committee and was general chairman of the UniverKING, '96 sity day dinner in 1935 which brought out a capacity crowd to hear Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Stanford university and one-time member of President Hoover's cabinet. Dr. King has been an alumni representative on the University council since 1927, and automatically a member of the Alumni council since its creation in 1933- He has served on the Alumni council's executive committee for several years and last year was council Vice chairman. He has been a member of the Medical school faculty since 1898, professor of gynecology since 1925 and a member of the administrative board for a dozen years. Other officers elected in June were Leon J. Gauchat, DDS '19, vice chairman; Albert P. Sy, PhD '08, recorder and G. Thomas Ganim, BS '24, LLB '27, assistant recorder. The officers make up the executive committee with the addition of Myron S. Short, LLB '08, and Judge Victor B. Wylegala, LLB '19. Dr. King has appointed three committees to carry on special functions this year. Most important of them all is the committee on alumni study, whose function is the investigation of existing alumni organizations, programs and relations with the university, to be followed by recommendations for integrating alumni strength for the good of the university. Judge Wylegala heads that committee, which includes Dr. Gauchat, Pharmacy Dean A. Bertram Lemon, PhG '13, and Thew Wright, MD '03.

STATE LIKES BUFFALO Again the state of New York has recognized the excellence of the School of Social Work by designating 17 social workers and investigators to take a special sixmonths training program. The special students come from various parts of the state, and have been chosen from a large list of candidates. MEDICAL COURSE POPULAR Sixty-five physicians from 21 states en- rolled in the Medical school's 19th annual post-graduate course last month. It is the largest registration in the course since its inauguration in 1920. GAA Nears 25th Year This is the General Alumni association's Silver Anniversary year. When, on University day, 1940, its trustees commemorate its founding, they hope, too, to be able to celebrate a victory over the forces which lately have barred its progress. Force No. 1 was Depression. A promising program of central alumni activity was Financial and moral worst moment. and its most significant activities were shaved down or sus- - Decentraliza tion. Without an integrating factor somewhere, the divisional alumni associLEOPOLD. '14 ations have withdrawn into themselves, have strengthened their own programs, and have developed an appeal to their respective constituents which gains steadily every year. Many alumni activities have sprung up under minority sponsorship. Force No. 3 is Confusion. The alumni mind now finds it difficult to grasp the idea of central alumni activity. The functions of the Alumni council, the Alumni office, the Alumni association are not clear. So the old grad supports what he understands —usually his divisional association. Alumni leaders recognize that the coordinated power of 9500 graduates should be made available to their university. They also realize the need for clarification, for definition, for simplification, before popular support can be regained. Last year the General Alumni association sponsored a study of the problem as it exists. The year ended before decisions could be made and a plan adopted. This year's officers, elected last summer, have picked up where their predecessors left off. They have been encouraged by the interest of the Alumni council, which is aiming at the same goal (see column 1). {Continued on page 2) �UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 2 39th Dental Meeting To Attract Many Last Milestones Class Reunions Will Be October 11 With a change of date to accommodate out-of-town members, and a reduction in fees, the 39th annual meeting of the Dental Alumni association, Oct. 11, 12 and 13. is expected to draw a record attendance.

Peelle Singing Blues Each year since his appointment as football mentor. Jim Peelle has made pre-season predictions full of optimism. Each year his squad hasn't quite come up to expectations. This year he becomes Peelle the Pessimist, as he hints that his boys will not be able to better last season's record of two won. six lost. Susquehanna university and C. C. N. V., Peelle thinks, might be the only Buffalo victories this year. A win over Lehigh, Connecticut State. Alfred. Hobart or Wayne will be an upset. Peelles frank estimate is made in spite of an admitted improvement in material. For a backfield he has Gene Nuwer, a good kicker; Vince Bonnerb, bullet-passer; Gene Small, heady quarterback, and Bud Henry, a good bet as a blocking back. In the line, where Fritz Febel again is coaching, is Roger Perkins, succeeding Vito Grieco at center; Ted Forgraves and A! Collins at guard; Ray Garlapow and Nick Kish, converted end. at tackle; Harry Jenkins and Wall)* Nelson at end. That's a fair guess at a first team, with Jack Ruhlman available either as guard or blocking back and others under consideration for jobs like Maynard Dutcher, Marvin Marcus, and Jerry Katzman, tackles; Ed Gese and John Herlan, guards; Gene Hiller, Bill Goldberg, Bernie Rosenberg, Bob Stransky and Jack Smith, backs. On Education Faculty Three alumni are among the new part time appointments to the School of Education faculty. R. Pratt Krull, BS (Ed) '33, associate superintendent of Buffalo schools for extension education, becomes consultant in adult education. Edna P. Meibohm, BS (Ed) '36, art teacher at Public School 78 becomes assistant in art education. Gerald A. Wilber, BS (Ed) '28, EdM '35, EdD '39, principal of Falconer public schools, becomes associate in education in the field of secondary administration. Rotary Fence Is Gone The board fence which did honorable service for a generation at Rotary field, is gone. It was replaced during the summer by a handsome wire mesh structure. Workmen moved fence lines so as to allow space for future improvements, such as a standard running track and facilities for field events. Privet hedges will be planted inside the fence next spring, and will eventually reach a height of seven feet, effectively screening the view from without. For this season, however, the gaze of non-paying spectators will be unobstructed. The work was done by the Smith Fence company. 743 Northland avenue, Buffalo. Where Are They Now? Mail addressed to the following alumni has been returned for lack of correct addresses.
