The university community has felt its touch too. Aboard the American liner Manhattan when it docked in New York Aug. 31 was Mrs. Violet Sircom, librarian of the Foster hall science library. She was visiting relatives in England when the war broke out, and was forced to cut her visit a week short in order to get passage with hundreds of other refugees. More harrowing was the experience of Mrs. Joseph Lander, wife of the building superintendent of Norton hall. She was aboard the Aquiianta when, just before sailing from England, passengers were notified that the vessel was armed British merchantman and fair game for U-boats. Some returned to shore, but Mrs. Lander remained aboard with the majority. The voyage to New York kept the ship's company badly frightened most of the time. In Germany at the outbreak of hostilities was J. W. Richard Lindemann, instructor in English. When German liners suspended service, he was forced to make his way to Denmark and sail home from there. The war also deprived the university of its visiting French professor this year. Maurice Le Breton, professor of English literature at the University of Lisle, has notified Dean Julian Park that he has been sent to the Western front. Raymond Las Vergnas, last year's visiting professor, also is in service with the French cavalry. Dr. Franklyn C. Southworth Jr., associate in psychiatry and neurology, trying to get out of England, had to wait two days on a lighter in Southampton harbor, before he could board the Dutch steamer which brought him home. His sleeping quarters consisted of a mattress on the floor, but he "felt lucky to get it." WIN MEDICAL HONORS Five alumni were elected to fellowship in the American College of Surgeons at the annual meeting in Philadelphia last month. They are Ernest L. Brodie, MD '27, BS (Mcd) '27, instructor in urology in the Medical school; William M. Howard MD '25, BS (Mcd) '25, assistant in ophthalmology; Walter F. King, MD '28, BS (Mcd )'2B, instructor in ophthalmology; Bernard Samuel Strait, MD '14 of Perm Van and Charles C. Thomas, MD '25 of Rochester, N. Y. Bulletin November, 1939 Nation Reads of Work-Study Plan SHIFT Work-Study students change places as employer and plan director Buffalo's Work-Study plan came in for national attention recently when a feature article about it appeared on the education page of the New York Times. The plan was adopted experimentally last year, and this year is being put on a more permanent footing, so convinced are its sponsors that it is worthwhile. Dean Lewis A. Froman of Millard Fillmore college (downtown division) is director of the plan. Many an old grad can tell of the hardships he suffered working his way through college. Many are the plans in effect throughout the country today, which give students a chance to earn while they learn. The Buffalo plan differs from others in that its participants must be definitely superior students, and they must prove the need for financial assistance. Students are enrolled in pairs. One holds down a job for four months while the other look on. goes to college. At the end of that period they trade places. Sixteen Niagara frontier organizations, including banks, utilities, clothing stores and chemical plants furnished employment under the plan last year. A student thus completes a semester of work at a time, and is able, because he is released from job worries during that period, to participate in student activities. The ordinary four-year course in liberal arts or business administration is lengthened to five, and a degree awaits him at the end of that time. CARL F. SIEKMANN Carl F. Siekmann, well-known as a teacher of German in Buffalo schools for 33 years, died last July. He was on the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences from 1918 to 1923. He was the father of Carl F. Siekmann, MD '28. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Four Sets of Twins on Alumni Kinsmen's List Ten Grandchildren of Graduates Included Eighty-one members of this year's freshman classes are closely related to Buffalo alumni.

The 1920 financial campaign which netted subscriptions of $5,177,726.41 had enabled the council to bring about a complete transformation of the institution. The campaign conducted in October. 1929, yielded subscriptions totalling 55.424.- ---890.70. There were 32,687 subscribers. The effects of the ten year depression have made it difficult for many subscribers, and impossible for some, to fulfill their pledges. Nevertheless, within this decade 87 per cent of the total amount subscribed has been collected. The university has also received numerous gifts and bequests large and small. While its development has not been as spectacular as during the eight year period following the acquisition of the first general funds for endowment and buildings, it has been steady and substantial. Few institutions have exhibited such unimpaired momentum throughout the whole course of the depression. A comparison of certain aspects of the university in the summer of 1929 with the corresponding aspects of the university in the summer of 1939 may give a rough measure of its progress during this period.

The total income for the year 1938-39 was $1,060,193-93. Grounds, Buildings, Equipment In 1929 the university possessed eight buildings used for academic purposes. Four of these were downtown. Four were on the campus. Since 1929 the campus has been completely transformed. Seven new buildings have been erected, each provided with complete equipment for the uses it is designed to serve. In 1929 the campus library numbered some 33,000 volumes. In the summer of 1939 the Lockwood Memorial library contained approximately 103,000 volumes exclusive of the special Lockwood collection of old and rare books. The collections in the departmental and professional school libraries brought the total of the university's holdings up to approximately 150,000 volumes. In addition the university possesses 100,000 pamphlets. All but a few acres on campus have now been graded and planted. Tunnels connecting all buildings with the central heating plant have been built; a system of sidewalks and roads has been constructed; adequate parking areas have been finished; many trees and shrubs have been set out. From any angle the campus now presents an appearance of striking dignity and beauty. New Instructional Divisions To the eight instructional divisions existing in 1929 have been added the School of Education, the School of Social Work, the Division of Nursing and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. The university now conducts its instructional work through 12 separate administrative divisions. At its center is the College of Arts and Sciences, including a special curriculum for the training of librarians. Eight separate divisions offer professional education in medicine, dentistry, law, business administration, nursing, pharmacy, education, and social work, and provide for scholarly specialization leading to advanced degrees. The Evening session, rechristened the Millard Fillmore college in 1937, and the Summer session are administrative divisions which respectively conduct instruction in the arts and sciences and in certain professional specialties in the evening hours and during the summer months. Enrollment The most rapid expansion of the university's student population occurred between the years 1920 and 1929. In com- with most other American colleges and universities the University of Buffalo suffered a sharp decline in enrollment beginning in the year 1932. By 1934 the falling off in numbers stopped. During the last five years the university's enrollment has slowly but steadily increased. In the year just ended it was the largest in the institution's history. For purposes of comparison the following figures are signifimon cant. In 1928-29 the enrollment of the day divisions of the university was 1662; the total enrollment, including the students of the Evening and Summer sessions, was 3586. In the year just ended the enrollment of the day divisions was 1903 the total enrollment including the students of the Millard Fillmore college and the Summer session, was 5207. ■ Faculty In 1928 the full time faculty numbered 116, the part time faculty 284. In 1939 the faculty of the university contained 129 full time members and 450 part time members. The ratio of instructors to students in the day divisions is high, in the College of Arts and Sciences exceptionally high. A mere numerical statement, however, conveys no impression of the quality of the university's activities in teaching and research. There are certain other indices of the quality of a university enterprise—and it should not be forgotten that quality is always dependent upon the standards and accomplishments of the teaching staff. For the sake of the record and for what they may be worth, I submit a list of the approvals by state and national accrediting agencies. The degrees of the College of Arts and Sciences and of all professional divisions are registered by the New York State Department of Education. The College of Arts and Sciences is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and by the Association of American Universities. The Medical school is rated Class A by the American Medical association and is a member of the Association of American Medical Colleges. The School of Pharmacy is accredited by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education and is a member of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. The Dental school is rated Class A by the Dental Educational Council of America and is a member of the American Association of Dental Schools. The Law school is accredited by the American Bar association and is a member of the Association of American Law schools. The School of Business Administration is a member of the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business. The School of Social Work is a member of the American Association of Schools of Social Work. Another index of the standing of an institution in teaching and in productive scholarship is furnished by the attitude toward it of the national honorary societies in the several fields of learning and research. In 1925 a chapter of Alpha Omega Alpha was installed in the Medical school. Within the decade under review, chapters of the following honorary societies have been installed. Sigma Xi. In the college. Phi Beta Kappa. In the School of Education, Phi Delta Kappa. The establishment of a chapter of Phi Lambda Theta, the honorary society for women in the field of education, has also been authorized. In the School of Business Administration, Beta Gamma Sigma. In the Dental School, Omicron Kappa Upsilon. A third index of the quality of the conuniversity makes to the intellectual life of the state and the nation is found in the demand for the expert services of members of the teaching staff outside the line of their regular duties. During the past decade members of the faculty of the University of Buffalo have been con- tribution which a �3 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN stantly sought by governmental agencies, local, state and national, and by private organizations conducting scientific research. The University Budget From 1923 to 1933 the council annually adopted a budget carrying an estimated deficit. In 1932 the enrollment fell off abruptly, and with it the university's income. In the light of existing business conditions the prospect for the following year and for the years immediately succeeding was anything but bright. During the course of the academic year 1932-33, therefore, it became necessary to curtail the university's expenses drastically. The curtailment was effected by the utmost possible reduction of the budgeted appropriations for supplies and equipment and by a reduction of 10 per cent in the salary roll. When the budget for the year 1933-34 was in preparation it appeared necessary to impose a further reduction of BV2 Per cen* on the salaries of the teaching, clerical and administrative staffs, if a deficit for that year were to be avoided. The budget adopted by the council in June, 1933, was in balance. The university finished the year with a slight surplus. Every succeeding budget adopted by the council has been a balanced budget, and the university has finished each year without a deficit. In this respect its record has been better than that of most of the privately supported universities of the country in these latter years of the depression. It has i not been possible to restore all salaries to the amounts paid in 1932. Some progress in the direction of restoration has been made. But the fact remains that the .general low level of the university's salary scale represents its most vulnerable point. Unless this level can be raised, the university cannot long continue to retain its ablest instructors, nor can it hope to replace them by others of equal promise. The principal threat to its future lies in the inadequacy of its general endowment funds. On the whole, however, the decade just completed has seen the fruition of many of the most ardent hopes of those who have befriended and supported it. THE YEAR 1938-39 Enrollment and Finances The total enrollment for the year under review of 5207, the largest in the history of the university, represents an increase of 5.30 per cent over the enrollment of the preceding year. The percentage of gain for the year ending in June, 1938, was 4.13 per cent. Once more, however, the gain was wholly in the Millard Fillmore college and in the Summer session. The enrollment in the full time day divisions of the university was 1903, two less than the enrollment in the same divisions during the preceding year. Such increase in fee income as has been realized comes this year entirely from the divisions which serve a part time student body. The enrollment in the Millard Fillmore college increased 8.28 per cent, that in the Summer session, 20.49 per cent. The report of the comptroller published herewith shows that the fee income increased 327,492.53. Activities of the Divisions College of Arts and Sciences In 1933 the School of Education entered into a cooperative relationship with the School of Fine Arts of the Buffalo Fine Arts academy with the purpose of training teachers of art. The initial success of this arrangement led to further cooperation between the School of Fine Arts and the College of Arts and Sciences. A curriculum has been arranged leading to the degree of bachelor of fine arts. Members of the university faculty have also assisted the Albright Art gallery in offering courses in its adult education project. The results of the cooperation between the academy and the university have been highly satisfactory to both institutions. On March 16, 1939, the trustees of the Carnegie corporation "appropriated the sum of $23,000 to the university for the development of its cooperative program in fine arts with the Buffalo Fine Arts academy.'" By this grant the university's department of art has been substantially strengthened and its cooperation with the Buffalo Fine Arts academy made much more effective. School of Medicine In September, 1938, the public health council of the New York State Department of Health approved the undergraduate course in public health offered by the Medical school as qualifying graduates of 1940 and subsequent years for Grade II health officers. The courses as now offered are given in the third and fourth years. An important and valuable phase of the instruction consists of field trips. The department of post graduate and continuation work finds itself charged with a new responsibility. More and more hospitals are coming to require that a candidate for a staff appointment hold an American Board certificate. Provision must therefore be made for additional training of young medical graduates to enable them to qualify for such certificates. Through its administration of the work for the degree of master of science in medicine during the past few years the department has already pioneered in this field. Its work must, however, in the near future be considerably extended. School of Dentistry In spite of a more rigid selection of incoming students exercised by the committee on admissions the enrollment of the school increased 7 per cent over that of the previous year. The increased enrollment has taxed the clinical facilities of the school to the limit. The number of operating units has not been sufficient to meet the demand at the times when both the senior and junior classes have occupied the infirmary together. Provisions have been made to remedy this situation for the coming year, but it is clear that the registra- tion of the school cannot be increased beyond the present level unless the facilities are considerably expanded. During the year under review the new dental clinic at the Buffalo Children's hospital was put into operation under the school's direction. The clinic makes possible the inauguration of a new plan of instruction in clinical dentistry for children. All departments of the hospital are cooperating to assist the students to attack the problems of dental pathology in children from the broadest possible medical base. School of Pharmacy By action of the New York State Department of Education the length of the required course in pharmacy has recently been extended from three to four years. Whenever the time requirements in any branch of professional education are increased the enrollments in the schools preparing for that profession temporarily decline. For the past three years the student body of our own School of Pharmacy has exemplified the operation of this general rule. During the year under review the total enrollment dropped to 96 students. Other New York schools of pharmacy have had a similar experience. There is every reason to believe, however, that the setback is only temporary. The shortage of qualified pharmacists in New York state is already acute. The profession offers to young people an absolute certainty of employment, unless they have some serious personal disability. Moreover, the new four-year course, nearly 50 per cent of which is composed of liberal arts subjects, should prove increasingly attractive to students contemplating university careers. School of Law At the time of the reorganization of the Law school three years ago one of the most pressing problems confronting the new administration was that of the improvement of the library. The development of the library in this brief period of time has been most gratifying. It is now a sound working library equipped with an adequate collection of reports, statutes, and texts. It furnishes ample material for the extensive moot court work that is a feature of the present program of instruction, for research courses, for law journal work, and for memorandum work for the justices of the Supreme court. On Mr. Justice Louis D. Brandeis's retirement from the Supreme Court of the United States he broke up his working library and made a gift to this school of some of the most important contents. The gift represents an invaluable addition to the school's stock of raw materials for scholarship in law, particularly in the important developing fields of public law. The development of the library has raised again, and in an acute form, the problem of space. The faculty has continued its efforts to improve the methods of instruction. There has been intensive development in the field of writing and research. Theses are now �4 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO required in most of the senior courses. Papers calling for independent research are also a part of the work of the junior year. In the year under review the students in the course in legislation undertook the task of revising the ordinances of the city of Buffalo in collaboration with the corporation counsel's office. The 12 ranking men in the third year class were offered opportunity to act as auxiliary secretaries to the justices of the Supreme court. The 12 ranking students of the junior class have had the opportunity to assist in the publication of the Erie County Bar Journal. They have thus had the kind of experience which work on the law reviews gives to the outstanding students at certain of the older law schools. School of Business Administration The registration in the School of Business Administration which had increased substantially in the previous academic year suffered a slight decline. The graduate enrollment, however, increased somewhat. The Observation plan under which leading industrial, financial and merchandising concerns of the Niagara frontier cooperate with the university by providing opportunities for superior students to observe and study their organizations and operations, has now been in effect four years. It has proved its value as an instructional device. The officers of the cooperating enterprises have continued to express their satisfaction with it. School of Education In my last report I called attention to the recent action of the Board of Education of the city of Buffalo requiring 30 semester hours of work beyond the bachelor's degree for admission to the qualifying examinations for prospective teachers in the secondary schools of the city. There was a 69 per cent increase in the graduate enrollment of the School of Education. Many of the students constituting this increase were preparing themselves to meet the new requirements of the city of Buffalo. The Regents of the University of the State of New York have issued a ruling requiring all candidates for certificates to teach academic subjects in the secondary schools of the state after the year 1942 to have five years of combined undergraduate, graduate and professional preparation. It seems highly probable that the university may look forward to a greatly increased enrollment of candidates both for the Ed.M. and the M.A. degrees. The developments which have taken place in the school during the past half dozen years have put that division of the university in a strong position to meet these new demands made by the state and the city. It is clear that if through the operation of the new requirements these burdens are to be increased the staff must soon be expanded. School of Social Work In the year under review both the candidates for the graduate certificate in social work and the candidates for the de- gree of master of social service increased in numbers. Every graduate of the year 1938 and of February, 1939, is professionally employed or is going forward for an advanced degree. The university's School of Social Work not only supplies a large percentage of the local demand, but since it is the only school of social work in the western part of the state, it sends its graduates to agencies in Rochester, Syracuse and other up-state communities. The bottleneck limiting the size of the student body of any school of social work is the number of field work placements available. During the past year the school has been confronted by a near emergency because the reorganization which the city and county welfare agencies were undergoing virtually cut them off as sources for field work training. The budgetary limitations of certain of the private agencies also forced them to limit their field work activities. It has been necessary for the school, therefore, to develop placements outside of Buffalo. Millard Fillmore College Since 1933 the enrollment in the Millard Fiilmore college has steadily increased. The increase is gratifying as evidence of the growing appreciation of the colleges offerings by the mature men and women who make up the bulk of its student body. More important than any growth in numbers, however, is the changing character of the demand made upon the college for service. In the early years of the undertaking only a handful of students were interested in securing academic degrees. Now the number who are candidates for such degrees is considerable. Eighty students received degrees and certificates in the year under review who took the bulk of their work through the Millard Fillmore college. The dean and his advisers are convinced that the greatest service which the college can now render lies in the direction of the fourther development of degree work. In accordance with this conviction two steps have been taken during the past year to facilitate the progress of those students who desire to become candidates for degrees. The newly appointed educational counselor has acted as special adviser to this group of students and has helped them in planning their programs of study. The college has during the past year introduced an adaptation of the tutorial plan. The plan is meeting with enthusiastic response from a group of superior adult students. The Work-Study Plan The Work-Study plan, inaugurated in the spring of 1938 for young people of superior ability who are unable to meet the university's tuition fees as regular students, has completed its first year. Thirty-three students took advantage of the plan. The annual family incomes of the participating students do not fluctuate far from the $1500 level. Without the assistance which the plan affords they would be unable to meet the university's charges. Twenty-six jobs are being held by WorkStudy students. Sixteen organizations furnish employment to students registered under the plan. One of the most gratifying aspects of the university's experience during the year has been the willing response of employers to assist deserving high school graduates to obtain a college education. Graduate School of Arts and Sciences For several years I have called attention to the rapid growth of the university's enterprise in the field of graduate education. Graduate study leading to the degrees of M.A. and Ph.D. has been in charge of a committee of the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences known as the committee on graduate study and degrees. In my last report I recorded my belief that the time had come to recognize the fact that the university had in reality a graduate school of arts and sciences, to designate the body of graduate students and their teachers as such, and to provide a titular head for the unit. In June, 1939, the council created the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and designated its first faculty. Collection of Books and Manuscripts For the last four years the Lockwood Memorial library has been assembling a collection of materials designed to represent British and American poetic activity from the year 1880 to the present day. The collection consists first of books, pamphlets, magazines and fugitive publications in which the works of contemporary poets have appeared, and second, the work sheets used by the poets in the composition of poems together with the completed manuscripts. Two years ago the council sought the assistance of the Carnegie corporation in bringing this project of the library to completion. The corporation made an appropriation in the summer of 1937 which enabled the library to assemble a widely representative collection of the working manuscripts of the principal living British poets. During the year under review the librarian has visited some 90 American poets with equally satisfactory results. The undertaking has continued to interest the Carnegie corporation. In March, 1939, the corporation appropriated to the university the sum of $17,000 for the development of the poetry collection. The Needs of the University Two needs continue to overshadow all others. They are: a substantial increase of the general endowment funds, and large additions to the funds for scholarships to help able young people to complete their higher education. These needs do not change from year to year; they only become more acute. The income from at least $2,000,000 of additional endowment is needed at once to conduct properly the existing activities of the university; and a (Continued on page %) �5 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN The Comptroller's Report To the Council of the Buffalo, New York University Libraries, General & Departmental 43,902.72 of Buffalo. Gentlemen: The annual report of the comptroller for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1939 is presented herewith. The balance sheet, Exhibit "A" shows endowment assets of $5,657,695.37; plant assets of $7,008,128.61; and operating assets of $122,696.01. On June 30, 1939 the balance in the endowment fund account was $5,654,951.44, as shown in Exhibit "A". On June 30, 1938 this balance was $5,740,353.64. The net decrease for the year, therefore, in the endowment fund account was $85,402.20. This decrease is accounted for by payments out of the endowment fund on account of the construction of Clark Memorial gymnasium. Schedule "A-l" is an exhibit of the special purpose funds of the university, which, at June 30, 1939, had reached a total of $3,755,909.86. These special purpose funds are a part of the general endowment of the university but they have been restricted as to use by their respective donors. The list includes eight professorships and 94 other funds, including scholarship funds, lecture funds and prize funds. Exhibit "B" is an analysis of plant assets of the university at the close of the fiscal year on June 30, 1939. The value of the plant assets on June 30, 1938 was $6,829,478.46. The value of the plant assets on June 30, 1939 was $7,004,737.65. The increase during the year covered by this report, therefore, was $175,259.19. During the year under review Clark Memorial gymnasium was completed at a total cost of $357,324.22, including equipment. The entire physical plant of the university, including the grounds, is in excellent condition. The total operating income for the year was $1,060,193.93; the total operating disbursements were $1,026,559.46. The year, therefore, closed with a credit balance of $33,634.47, which is 3.17 per cent of the total income for the year. Of this surplus the sum of $21,175.58 was appropriated by the committee on general administration to balance the budget for the fiscal year 1939-40. The total operating income for the year exceeded the total operating income of the preceding year by $22,783-81, while the total operating disbursements exceeded those of the preceding year by $27,530.62. For the first time in the history of the university both its income and expenses reached one million dollars for the year. The following is a comparative table of the operating account of the university for the fiscal years 1936-37, 1937-38 and 1938-39: INCOME 1936-37 $768,753.50 Fees Received from Students Endowment 172,497.31 Income from 12,593.24 Dental Infirmary (Net) Gifts Received to Apply on Salaries 7,400.00 1,730.00 Rental Property Income Miscellaneous 8,198.17 Appropriation of 1935-1936 Surplus 16,713.39 Appropriation of 1936-1937 Surplus Appropriation of 1937-1938 Surplus - Total - 1937-38 $815,981.88 1938-39 $843,474.4: 173,580.64 157,159.31 10.512.37 14.550.4: 1,705.00 8,449.28 10.938.4: 5.350.00 21,830.95 8,000.01 1,690.01 24,381.21 $987,890.61 $1,037,410.12 $1,060,193-9: Income EXPENSES Expenses of Administration $138,558.25 528,860.53 Salaries of Instruction Supplies Used in Instruction 26,435.12 Dperarion and Maintenance of Buildings 82,660.17 Dperation and Maintenance of —. 20,986.37 Central Heating Plant..Jpkeep and Improvement University Campus 45.364.14 — $151,107.64 $149,002.9! 548,938.01 21,567.53 560,582.21 26,867.1: 92,347.98 99,823.2! 24,823.95 24,242.21 38,679.86 41.727.2: Bureau of Business and Social Research 6,853.58 Department of Physical Education 14,601.66 and Hygiene 11,719.34 The Registrar's Office 6,192.00 Furniture and Fixtures Scienrific Equipment 6,939.63 Catalogs, Bulletins, Printing and Advertising 7,892.22 Insurance 5,968.18 Interest on Mortgages and Notes Payable 15,033.07 Rental Properry Expense 1,904.97 City of Buffalo Property Assess- _ _ ments Collection Pledges of Endowment $966,059.66 .11,830.95 45,483.62 6,362.58 6,525.40 14,543.40 12,210.92 16,153.25 13,159.02 4,292.63 7,676.64 4,996.35 6,305.21 9,668.67 5,954.49 8,105.95 11,720.68 1,800.76 10,972.44 1,786.97 8,530.09 653.88 44.41 2,368.29 2,251.63 Fund 2,187.71 Total Expenses Surplus for the Year 44,310.93 $999,028.84 $1,026,559.46 38,381.28 33,634.47 During the year 1938-39 fees received from students equalled "'9.6 per cent of the total income of the university for the year and 82.2 per cent of the total cost of operating the university for the year. Of the total expenses 54.6 per cent was for salaries of instruction; 61.7 per cent was for salaries of instruction, plus supplies used in instruction and operation and maintenance of libraries. Federal, state and municipal and foreign government bonds, purchased by the university, yielded an average income of 4.41 per cent on the actual investment; railroad bonds, 4.29 per cent; public utility bonds, 5.23 per cent; industrial bonds, 3-80 per cent; miscellaneous bonds, ail gifts, .26 per cent; stocks, 3.78 per cent; real estate mortgages and mortgage certificates, 1.58 per cent. The average yield on all stocks and bonds purchased and owned by the university, and excluding gifts, was 4.11 per cent for the year. On June 30, 1939 the stocks and bonds in the university portfolio which had been purchased by the university, and excluding gifts, were classified as follows on the basis of market worth: Federal, state, municipal and foreign government bonds, 19 per cent; utility bonds, 12 per cent; railroad bonds, 10 per cent; industrial bonds, 5 per cent; industrial and utility preferred stocks, 15 per cent; industrial, utility and railroad common stocks, 20 per cent; investment trusts, preferred and common stocks, 7 per cent; bank stocks, 6 per cent; and fire insurance company stocks, 6 per cent. It remains a diversified list of very high quality. Gifts and bequests received during the year which ended June 30, 1939 included the following: Estate of Sarah N. MacArthur for the establishment of the George P. and Sarah N. MacArthur fund, $63,287.64; addition to the LeGrand S. DeGraff fund, $10,000; Buffalo City Federation of Women's Clubs for addition to the Katherine Pratt Horton Scholarship fund, $1092, and for the establishment of the Sadie Rayner Altaian Scholarship fund, $600; Adam, Meldmm and Anderson, $1000; Charles W. Goodyear, Jr., $1000; estate of Amelia Stevenson, $1000; David T. Wende, $1000. The university's greatest need continues to be increased general endowment yielding free income for the general purposes of the university. Practically all of the larger gifts made to the university in recent years have been for specific purposes, thus affording little increase in endowment income for general purposes. The university's growth in the past seven years has been remarkable, its annual income now being well over the million dollar mark; its campus buildings are adequate for the present, and they, as well as the grounds, are in excellent condition; but, so long as 80 per cent of the university's annual income is derived from student fees and only 20 per cent from endowment funds, its financial structure is faulty, because any marked decrease in attend- �6 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO University of Buffalo Exhibit "A"—Balance Sheet as at June 30, 1939 LIABILITIES AND FUNDS ASSETS - Endowment Fund Assets: Bonds— Public Utility Bonds Government Bonds Railroad Bonds Industrial Bonds Miscellaneous Bonds _....* 537.101.20 _.... 813.361.78 422,523.10 218,006.25 Z8,04S.OO _ _ _ _ .

CHANCELLOR'S REPORT (Continued from page A) considerably larger sum would be required to develop these activities in accordance with the recommendations of the several deans and directors. The summary which opens this report should give added force to this statement. So large and comprehensive an enterprise as the university has now become rests upon an insecure foundation with an endowment of less than $6,000,000. It may in any year be seriously damaged if adverse business conditions in this area should bring about an abrupt decline in student enrollment. And every year the quality of the enterprise is in danger so long as the salaries remain at their present low levels. To provide for substantial increases in salaries more endowment will be necessary. With the continuance of the depression it becomes more and more difficult for many young people of the highest intellectual competence to secure the advantages of a university education. Welcome additions are made each year to the university's scholarship funds, but notwithstanding this fact they remain altogether insufficient to provide needed aid for all the ablest applicants. Most of these superior students that the university cannot assist fail to find the necessary assistance elsewhere. They do not go to college at all. They represent part of this community's most valuable capital. When their aspirations for self-improvement are thwarted the community is wasting that capital. Gifts for no other purpose would yield such rich returns as gifts which would enable these superior youths to make the most of themselves. Respectfully submitted, SAMUEL P. CAPEN. HULL INVITES CHANCELLOR At the invitation of Secretary of State Cordell Hull, Chancellor Capen attended a conference on Inter-American Relations in the Field of Education in Washington last month.

COUNCIL BuJletin 19 40 Six Alumni Now on N. Y. Supreme Court One Becomes Member of Appellate Appointment this month of an alumnus to the Supreme court of New York state briOgs the number of Buffalo graduates on that bench to six. Elevation of one of the six to the Appellate division marks the first time such an honor has come to a Buffalo graduate. Newest member of the Supreme court is Charles S. Desmond, LLB '20 of Buffalo. He was appointed by Gov. Herbert H. Lehman to fill a vacancy for the year 1940. Under the new plan, the student spends three years in the col!ege, and then matri­ culates in the Law school. At the end of "the fifth year the bachelor of arts degree is conferred. In special cases it may be con­ ferred at the end of the fourth year, and the student may so petition. On completion of the sixth year he wins his LLB degree . A student desiring to take advantage of this opportunity so indicates at the end of his freshman year in arts. He thereupon makes application to the department of history and government for acceptance as a tutoria l student. If accepted , he receives the same indi vidu al treatment afforded tc any other tutorial student. H e takes the: history comprehensive examination at the end of his third year, and at the end of the fifth year, just prior to the conferring of the BA degree , he takes an oral comprehen­ sive, administered jointly by the Law school faculty and the department of history and government.

He has been an alumni member of the University council since 1927, was first chairman of the Alumni council , serving in that capacity from 1933 to 1937. He is a Republican. The two appointments were made to fill vacancies created by the elevation of Justice Charles B. Sears to the State Court of Ap­ peals.

MAKE FIRST FLIGHT Eight Buffalo students - two of them gir ls-made their first air flights last month as members of the university 's civilian pilot trainiiig course sponsored by the Civil Aeronautics authority. Ground school began last fal I, and will continue , interspersed with flying lessons, until spring. New Use for Technique of Thea te r Econom ics Teac h ers En act Ro les for Stu de nt s Lniversity professors are commonly re­ ga rded as serious , unplayful fellows . There­ fore it is news when they shed their digni ­ ty. attempt to amuse their students. An actor does it for art's sake. Four Buffalo pro­ fessors are doing it for learning's sake. Big news indeed was the revelation a few weeks ago that Bu.ffao has led the way in emp loying the technique of the theater to teach--of all things-economics. News­ pa per readers discovered that freshmen there are taking what is believed to be the fust cour se for credit which uses the panel method of discussion, the panels in this case con tajning a definite measure of showman­ shjp _ The course , freshman economics , is taught weekly by four members of the faculty who may pose as financiers , legislators, salesmen or ordinary laymen . So widespread has in­ terest become that many other persons are sitting in on the sessions beside the 250 tirst-year studen ts regularly enrolled. Th oug h considerable time is spent in preparatio n, the lines are neither memorized nor read . The participants first agree on a general outljne for the " plot ", with certain pivotal points on which it will turn . Then they enact a typical scene from the world of business, finance or government. One week , for example, they played the ro les of four statistica l researchers arguing (Wer methods of measuring the national in­ come . Another time they were four in­ Ji ,·iduals forming a .gas burner corporation -tw o being men with experience in the building field, a third the man with the money to invest, and the fourth , the inevit­ able promoter . A high point in timely entertainment was the staging of a Senatorial committee meet• ing, in which the "O'Sullivan committee' examined with considerable oratory and some asperity , a H ouse bill for taxing big business. One "senator" even fell asleep during the discussion . The purpose of the presentation was not to lampoon our law­ makers , but to show that people as a whole often allow emotio n and prejudice to ove r­ whelm analysis and logic in their attitude toward big business. This part of the course is a weekly event . Students, in the meanwhile, are assigned ou tside readings which bear on the subject of the week. Later they assemble in sec­ tions of 25 or 35 persons for class discussion. None of the men necessarily believes all that he says. All sides of a problem are fairly represented. The drama of contro­ versy tends to sharpen the issues and stimu­ late thought. The technique keeps the sub­ ject alive . Changes of voice, changes of pace compel attention. Buffalo 's four scholarly actors are Dean Ralph C. Epstein of the School of Business Administration ; Dr. Shaw Livermore , as­ sistant dean of the school; Professor John D . Sumner and Claude E. Puffer, instructor in economics. I.Ast Mil estones ·7s MD-John Harding of Perry , N. Y. of pneumonia. ·92 MD-Arthur R. Bradbury of Grand Island . N.

A. A. and Alumni Council Looms New Constitut ion Ready for Adoption When two businesses engaged i.n the territory. manufacturing a similar product , employing the same sales appeal. maintaining separate but simi lar establish­ ments and selling to a public that cannot decide which is the better merchandise but buys a little of each, they sometimes merge. Two central alumni organizations have existed side by side at Buffalo for the last six and a half years. The General Alumni association has had no membership since it ceased charging dues at the onset of the Threadbare Thirties , but its board of trus­ tees has continued to meet, elect officers. plan and carry out alumni dinners. The Alumni council, founded in 1933, also has met frequently and carried on business un­ der its by-laws. The association , without dues, has bad no income. The Alumni council has had an annual subsidy from the university treas­ ury. Realization bas come gradually to leaders of the two groups that there is a similarity of objectives , an overlapping of functions. an identity of constituency ( the wholf alumni body) and some duplicatio n of ef­ fort. Typical case was the Alumni Swim ming Pool ca.vipaign which the two bodies finally decided to spoosor jointly. First signs of a trend toward a merge, appeared in the General Alumni associatior: in 1938 , when the board of trustees agreed on a need for simplification and empowered President Jane C. O'Malley, DDS '23 to appoint a committee to study the problem and prepare a plan. To the committee chairmanship Dr O 'Malley appointed Homer A. Trotter, PhG ·09, MD '15; to its membership , seven representatives of the divisional associations All winter and spring the Trotter committet: worked, fmally presented a plao to the board. Its main feature : To merge the: GAA board of trustees with the Alumn i counci I. ( See page 3 ) . The trustees thought it simple, yet so bold they hesitated to proffer it to the Alumni council. In J une, 1939, Francis D. Leopold , MD "14 was elected president and the board directed him to seek the co­ operation of the Alumni council in simplify. ing the alumni structure and establishing same a program of general inter est to the gradu­ ate body. Meanwhil e the Alumni council had had the problem under discussion. It had ap­ pointed a committee to meet with one from the GAA for the purpose of finding meth­ ods of stimu lating alumni activity. This joint committee ·s recommendations did not get at the root of the matter. At the J une meeting of the Alumni council. James E. King, MD "96 was elected council chair­ man . Shortl y thereafter he 3.ppointed a committee on alumni study headed by Judge Victor B. Wy legala, LLB ·19. By fall Judge Wy legala's committee had a plan . Its main featu re: To merge the GAA board of trus­ tees with the Alumni council. (See page 3). The A lumni council went a step beyond the GAA when it formally approved the plan in principle . Next it was laid before the divisional alumni presidents. They gave it their personal approval. and the next step was up to the GAA. That step came swiftly. Early in Febru­ ary the GAA trustees met, took the Trotter plan from the table and gave it their ap• proval. The}' then directed President Leo• pold to appoint a constituti on committee to meet with a simi!ar committee from the Alumni council. Next da}' Alumn i Coun• cil Chairman King appointed his commit­ tee, and a few days later the new rules and regulations were being drawn up for sub­ mission at a joint meeting of the two main bodies. scheduled for University day, the 25th anniversary of the GAA's founding. The new constitution committee includes the followiog: From the GAA , Dr . Leo­ pold , Richard W. Collard , BS (Bus) '35; Claire Marquardt, BA ' 31; Riley P. O'Brien, BS (Bus) '35; George E. Slotkin ; MD ' II ; from the Alumni council, Judge Wylegala , Dr . King, Leon J. Gauchat , DDS "19; Dean A. Bertram Lemon, PhG '13; Thew Wtight, MD "03. Alumni Secretary William G. Cook, BS '27 is com­ mittee secretary. Main difference between the two plans is in the name. The Trotter plan would call the new body the Alumni federation.. The Wylegal a plan would call it the Geoeral Aluma~ council. In these rcs~cts they agree: The new body should indude rep­ resentatives of the divisional alumni associa­ tions , the out.of-town dubs and the Uni­ versity council. Jt should sponsor general alumni programs, publish a moothly bulle­ tin , supervise the Alumni office, encourage the work of the constituent alumni groups. It should be financed by the university, out of the income from an annual Alumni Loyalty fund. Neither plan would interfere with the autonomy of the divisional alumni associa• lions and the Alumni Club, Inc. These would still carry on their own programs and maintain such system of dues or other methods of financing as are now in force. Fin31 3.pproval of the new plan must still be sought from the University council, from which both the present bodies derive their authority. T O GO W EST Dr . Fritz Machlup , professor of econom­ ics, has been invited to serve as visiting profe ssor of economics at Stanford uni­ versity in California , next summer . This will be the fifth university Dr. Machlup has served in that capacity. The others were Harvard , CorneJI, Northwestern and the University of California in Berkeley.

UNIVERSITY COUNCIL A&.UMNI CLUl , ll'K . G.A. A. TRUSTEES ALUMNI OFFICE 1----------l ALUMNI C0VNC:IL PRESENT CONFUSION Dr. Trotter Says . .. What are the faults of the present sys­ tem? They may be summarized as foUows : l. Conf 11 1ion. Very few alumni under­ stand the present system, and wher e there is no understanding there is no interest . The individual knows what his divisional association stands for. since it is formed along natural lines. But fr om that point on it is too much for him to figure out. He hears of a General Alumni association, an Alumni council , an Alumni Club , Inc. ··which is the official body?" he asks. "What shou ld I as an alumni worker, give my support to?" And he knows no an­ swer. 2. Morale·. An effective alumni pro­ gram begets pride in its supporters. It knits them together as a body, and delivers ever increasing loyalty to the object of their affection-their Alma Mater . Will not the alumni have greater respect for an alumni organi zati on which holds public gatheri ngs, represents the alumni viewpoint at court, whose leaders and supporters under stand it and their part in it ? 3. Finances. No doubt the General Alumni associati on could undertake an in­ teresting and effective pr ogram if it had adequate financing. But to attempt to col­ lect dues again would be to return to the old evil of double billing, and with the Alumni C' ub, Inc., now charging separate dues, each alumnus would be subject to three appeals a year. 4. Genera/ . In brief , there are pr obably too many alumni organizations now, over ­ lapping each other to some extent, aod of• ten approaching the point of rivalry. The General Alumni association is an associa- tion in name only. It really consists of a board of trustees and nothin g more. If the system could be simplified, alumni interest would be easier to capture. If the alumni in general could be br ought int o closer participation with the management of the alumni fund , alumni office and alumni publication , even though the uni­ versity retained partial contr ol, alumni morale woud be easier to build. If finances coul d be centralized , the potential income would be greater, the pr ogram could be enlarged, and all participating orga ni za­ tions , including the university , would bene­ fit. Judge Wylegala Says ... The aver age alumnus is so confused about it that he has now confined his supp ort to the one or two thing s he can understand: H is divisional associati on which gives him a pr ogram of pr ofessi onal interest and benefit, and the Alumni Club, Inc., which offers him a social program . He usually does now know the differenc e between the General Alumni association and the Alumni council; he is confused about their officers, mechanical operation and object ives ; he does not have a sensa­ tion of being part of one big family of g raduate s doing something important for their Alma Mater. The faults of the pr esent system may be summ ed up as follows: A. Lack of income for the General Alumni associati on, wh ose tru stees realize that ther e is little hope of returning to a dues system, and have as yet not found any other meth od of financing their acti vities. B. l ack of intere st in the General Alumni association , because of its inability to conduct a program . C. Lack of co-ordinat ion. D . Lack of understanding 1 which breed s dissatisfaction witb the whole machinery . E. Lack of morale because of the feeling of separation fr om the university, of un­ importa nce to it and of inability to be a part of its oper at ion. F. lack of loyalty as a natural conse­ quence of the above causes. What has this or any university the right to expect of an alum nu s? lf we may judge by other institutions , that expectation has four aspects: 1. He shall be successful in his chosen field, and a good citizen . He reflects credit on his Alma M ate.r by his own achieve­ ments . 2. He shall be interested in his uni­ versity. He shall understand its aims and methods , support its po licies and defend its goo d name . 3. He sha' l serve it in such ways as he can , as by encouraging g ood students to attend . or by activity on its committees, volunteer faculties or governing body. 4. He shall, as his means permit , give materi al support. The a.lumni do not get that way by ac­ cide nt . Th ere must be a plan which makes them that way. The University of Buff alo does its best to see that each graduate qualifies on Point No. 1, and through its pub licity media it does something o n Po int No. 2. But more must be done to instiJI feelings of grati­ tude, respect , loyalty and enthusiasm before the third aod fourth aspects shall be de­ veloped satisfactorily. A re-organization of the alumni structure is indicated. �ALUMNI COUNCIL l BULLET!J.'\J The Proposed New Organization DtVISION/\L As r.Ns.

The General AJumni council would be made up as follows: Delegates from the eight divisional alumni associations Delegates from the district clubs Alumni delegates chosen by the Uni­ versity council from its own mem­ bership The General Alumni council would elect its ow n officers and name its committees . The objects would be: 1. To encourage and assist the alumni associations and clubs . 2. To provide for active participation of the individual alumnus in the advisory and management aspects of the university. 3. To provide avenues for material as­ sistance to the university . Included among the activities of the Gen­ eral Alumni council , to be carried on by committees in co-operation with various university officers, wou ld be: l. Stimulation of interest in elections to the University council. 2. Student relations. 3. Preservation of trad.itions. 4. Vocational advisory services. 5. Preparatory school relations (student recruiting). 6. Preparation of song-books , banners and other incidental aids to university spirit . 7. Celebration of University day. S.. Presentati on of alumni achievement awards. 9. Commencement reunion s. 10. Alumni fund raising (including act­ ing as a clearing house for all alumni money appeals) . 11. Co-ordination and stimulation of di­ visional association activity , including that of the Alumnae association . 12. Stimulation of class activity. Victor B. Wylegala, LLB ·19 Chai,·man Leon J. Gauchat , DDS · 19 A. Bertram Lemon. PhG · 13 Thew Wright , MD '03 The TrotterPlan We recommend that the present Alumni council and the present General Alumni association be merged to form a central agency to be known as the Alumni federa­ tion. This body would thus include the alumni members of the University council , and the chosen representative,; of the vari ­ ous divisional associations. We also recom­ mend that each bra nch (out-of-town) club be allowed to add one representative for each 100 members . Thus the central agency would be truly representative of aJI interested gro ups and in its own name could conduct programs social or philanthropic . Since it would operate the A lumni fund. thus contributing to the university 's income, it could justly call upon the Alumni office for services in carrying out its program , and its publica­ tion could be expanded in size and be more truly an alumni publication . It would be financed by annual contribu- tions. oat dues, to the university Alumni Loyalty fund , a portion of which would finance the Alumni office, buJletin and fund raising activities. while the balance, which would surely grow each year, would be placed at the disposal of the University council.

L. O'Brian, '98, Awarded Chancellor's Medal Conferring of 130 degrees, certificatey and diplomas, award of the Chancelloi Charles P. Norton medal to a distinguished alumnus, and an appeal to thoughtful Americans to outlaw totalitarian influences from democratic councils, marked the uni versity's 40th University day convocation and mid-year Commencement, Feb. 22. To John Lord O'Brian, LLB '98 went the Norton award, "not for a specific act or a single accomplishment, but for a lift of eminent service to city, state and nation." Mr. O'Brian became the 13th person to receive it, and the second alumnus The first: Chauncey J. Hamlin, LLB 05 The main address was delivered by Sam uel K. Ratcliffe, British journalist and lee turer. Paying tribute to "George Washing ton, Our Contemporary," the speaker called him a pivotal figure of history, a hero to Britons as well as Americans, and a statesman whose spirit and method could well serve as a model for the conduct of present-day international affairs. It was Chancellor Capen who, in his introductory remarks, pointed out that Marxist and Fascist philosophies are incompatible with American doctrine, and emphasized that while American Communists, Bundists and other '■fellow travelers" must have their rights as citizens preserved, they "cannot be allowed to have a voice in the management of organizations conducted on democratic lines and committed to the improvement of American democracy." Alumnus O'Brian is a product of Buffalo's old First ward where he was born Oct. 14, 1874. He attended Public School 16, old Central high school and Harvard university, where he won his bachelor's degree in 1896. From the time of his graduation from the Buffalo Law school in 1898 he has pursued a career which has won him acclaim in legal circles throughout the country. He has appeared in low courts and high, and is no stranger to the U. S. Supreme Court, where his brilliance has won more than one favorable decision for his clients. He served on the University council for 26 years, and has been on the New York Board of Regents for 11 years. He was at one time lecturer on medical jurisprudence in the Medical School, and was recently elected to the Board of Overseers of Harvard college. Syracuse university Not for MEDALIST O'BRIAN, CHANCELLOR CAPEN accomplishment, but for a life of eminent service a specific act or a single and Harvard college have conferred honordegrees upon him. He served as state assemblyman for three years, was for seven years U. S. district attorney for Western New York, served under Woodrow Wilson as special assistant to the attorney general, supervising and controlling virtually all of the war work of the Department of Justice. He was called to Washington by Herbert Hoover to be first assistant to the attorney general and directed the anti-trust division of the Department of Justice. Although a staunch Republican, he was called in as special assistant to the attorney general by the New Deal, successfully carrying the TVA case ary through the Circuit Court of Appeals and the Supreme court. He is chancellor of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Western New York, and president of the Buffalo club. He has been chairman of the Buffalo Joint Charities and Community fund, president of the Erie County Bar association and vice president of the New York State Bar association. He holds the Belgian decoration, Officer of the Order of Leopold 11. ON NURSING FACULTY Edna M. Keefer, BS (Nrs) '35 has been appointed to the faculty of the School of Nursing. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Dr. Capen's University Day Remarks Although you leave the university in a time of great turmoil and uncertainty, you have one advantage over most of your recent predecessors. People have been saying for something like 20 years that this was an age of intellectual confusion, that old systems had proved inadequate to modern social needs, that there were so many new theories and formulas, so many new standards of value that no one could be sure of anything; no one could know what to believe. There was much truth in these statements. Both the young and the old were confused. Now, with regard to the fundamentals of social organization, with regard to the basic values of life, none of us needs to be confused any longer. Within the last year and a half there have been demonstrations on a planetary scale of the new formulas and the old. We have even had a few miniature demonstrations inside our own borders. We can now take our choice and know exactly what it is we are choosing. There is no uncertainty left; we are sure. Let us look at a few of the things we are sure of. We know that the totalitarian philosophy and the philosophy of popular government are absolute incompatibles. There can't be a little totalitarianism in a democratically organized state and there can't be a little democracy in a totalitarian state. The one excludes the other absolutely. If you are for the one. you are not for the other. The Marxist state and the Fascist state and the National Socialist state are totalitarian, and we know that as regards their fundamental philosophy there is not an iota of difference between any two of them. We know consequently that you can't adhere to a "party line" prescribed in a totalitarian state and still be a loyal citizen of the United States, however piously you may sing the Star Spangled Banner. We know that so-called fellow-travelers, most of whom profess to believe in the democratic principle, are in a desperate dilemma. They have tried to reconcile the irreconcilable. Their position is like that of the chameleon on the Scotch plaid. We know further that American Communists and members of the Bund and of the various leagues and legions which have borrowed their principles of action from totalitarian sources cannot be allowed tc have a voice in the management of organizations conducted on democratic lines and committed to the improvement of American democracy. Again it is a question of incompatibles. Their rights as citizens must be preserved as scrupulously as those of any other citizens. But it is folly to invite them into the councils of democratic institutions. We know that if you apply the Marxian theory of the "class struggle" to America. it just doesn't hold, and no amount of shouting from soapboxes can make it hold. You can't have a class struggle where the classes are fluid, as they demonstrably are in the United States, and where no class is either buttressed or penalized by the law. We know that if you believe in human rights, in the rights of minorities, in freedom of opinion and of discussion, in free choice of occupation, in freedom to buy and sell, to come and go, you cannot accept the totalitarian doctrines. For the totalitarian state recognizes no such rights. And it liquidates its minorities or enslaves them. We know that if you hate cruelty and believe that compassion and mercy are high attributes of the human spirit, there is one large sector of the world in which you could not possibly be at home, because the totalitarian states have made a cult of cruelty. At first we thought it merely a temporary aberration attendant upon revolution. But now we see that it is an intrinsic and necessary part of their philosophy. We know that religious freedom has vanished from the totalitarian states and that in some of them religion itself is threatened with extinction. And we know now that this must inevitably be the result of totalitarian control. The god-ruler can brook no other gods but himself. It is worth while to be sure of these things. If we add them up, the sum is impressive. It is not a complete chart for the conduct of our lives as citizens. But it is at least a compass which gives us our direction. If we consult the compass, we should be better Americans because more intelligent Americans. We have a great heritage of principles. We have not only taken them too long for granted; too many of us have forgotten them, forgotten what they mean and how dearly they have been defended. This is a day with a double significance for you. It is a day of remembrance, as well as the day on which you sever your ties with the university. The public celebration of Washington's Birthday is a mandatory invitation to every thoughtful American to consider once again those essential American principles for which our first President fought and which he did so much to establish. ON WATERFRONT COMMISSION Two alumni have been named to the proposed bi-partisan state commission which will unify efforts for improvement of Buffalo's waterfront—to be .jailed the Greater Buffalo Development commission. They are Frank S. Burzynski, LLB '99 and George G. Davidson Jr., LLB '97. WRITES MONOGRAPH George W. Fiero, PharD '31, Pharmacy's assistant professor of materia medica, is assisting in preparation of a monograph on "The Study of Deterioration of Drugs and Pharmaceuticals," which is being published by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. New Scholarship Plan Full approval of a citizens' proposal to establish a group of scholarships for allround boys of the Niagara area, was granted by the University council a fortnight ago. The action came following submittal of a plan by William C. Baird, junioi member, which would create a sponsoring agency known as the University of Buffalo associates, under whose auspices the scholarship funds would be raised by popular subscription. The terms of all scholarships presented the university must first have the approval of the council. A feature of the "Associates" plan is that it would recognize abilities and characteristics not normally to exhibited in the classroom. At the same time scholastic performance would be given full recognition in making the awards. The University council's approval was contained in this resolution: "Resolved, that the Council of the University of Buffalo accepts the offer of the University of Buffalo associates to establish by annual contribution the Niagara Frontier scholarships and approves the terms of award proposed by the associates." The terms of the award which had been framed by the citizens' group are contained in a prospectus made public by Mr. Baird: "The Niagara Frontier scholarships are awarded to students on the basis of scholarship, character, qualities of leadership and need. Nominations are made by the Uni versity of Buffalo associates' and must be approved by the university's committee on scholarships and loans. In making its nominations the 'University of Buffalo associates' follows the principles of selection observed in the designation of Rhodes scholars. These are: "(a) Literary and scholastic ability and attainments. "(b) Qualities of manhood, truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy, kindness, unselfishness and fellowship. "(c) Exhibition of moral force of char- and instincts to lead and to take an interest in one's school acter mates. "(d) Physical vigor, as shown by interin outdoor sports or in other ways. "No awards are made to entering freshmen who have not attained a Regents' average of 83 or better or else have not graduated in the upper fifth of their high school classes. No awards are made to students above the freshman class who have not attained at least a C average in the preceding year." Immediately after council approval, steps were being taken by Sponsor Baird and his friends toward formal organization of the University of Buffalo associates, in order that funds may be raised for the next class of entering students. est �3 AI.UMN!

PHARMACY This has been a busy year for the Pharmacy Alumni association, which has been joint sponsor with the school of a series of clinics and lectures on various phases of the profession. High point of the year of course is the annual dinner meeting which this year will be held on April 17. Guest speakers will be John M. Considine, PhG '12, manager of the medicine department of the United Drug company, Boston. A national figure in the pharmaceutical trade. Alumnus Considine has twice appeared before Buffalo alumni groups, once at a Pharmacy alumni meeting, once at a dinner of the General Alumni association. Officers whose terms expire this year are: President, Theodore A. Alfieri, '23; first vice president, J. Raymond Bressler, '20 of Rochester; second vice president, Leo F. Redden, "2 3; secretary-treasurer, Madeline T. Schnable, '22. '35 HONORS GAUGER The fifth anniversary of the Pharmacy Class of 1935 was celebrated at a party in Buffalo's Lenox hotel a few weeks ago. Twenty-four members were present. Highlights of the meeting was the presentation to Charles H. Gauger, PhG. '90, assistant professor of pharmacy, of a book, The Pictorial History of Ancient Pharmacy and Medicine, in commemoration of his 50 years of service to the school. DENTAL EXHIBIT Hugh D. Quinby, DDS '27, assistant professor of prosthesis, was in charge of a historical exhibit entered by the Dental school at the Dental Centenary celebration in Baltimore, Md., in mid-March. exhibit covered partial dentures. The Society Creation of a new international organization of scholars in the field of philosophy and election of two Buffalo facultymen to its first board of officers made headline news a few days ago. Dr. Marvin Farber, chairman of the philosophy department, is first president of the new group, known as the International Phenomenological society, and Dr. Richard H. Williams, assistant professor of sociology and anthropology is first secretary-treasurer. Phenomenology is the science of descriptive philosophy as inaugurated by the late Edmund Husserl of Germany, one of the greatest thinkers of the last century. Its applications extend to various specialized branches of knowledge, such as psychology, sociology, art, law, psychiatry, mathematics, natural science. Purpose of the new society: To further understanding, development and application of phenomenological inquiry. Many famed European scholars are on the council of the society. A quarterly publication, "The Journal of Philosophy and Phenomenological Research will be published by the society at the University of Buffalo. It will carry articles relating to all branches of philosophical scholarship, making use of English, French and German. It will be distributed in many foreign countries. GROH HONORED Associate Dental Dean Russell W. Groh, DDS '18 has been elected chairman of the Association for the Advancement of University Education in Dentistry. Next year's convention will be held in Buffalo. The Alumni Who's Who "HARD-rock miners, hatmakers, furriers, cement, clay and pottery workers, photoengravers, rayon workers, cigarmakers, textile workers and an army of men and women in other occupations have reason to bless a name they have never heard." Thus did Readers' Digest, in its series on "Unsung Heroes of Public Service," refer to Royd Ray Sayers, MD '14, senior surgeon and chief of the division of industrial hygiene of the U. S. Public Health service. Dr. Sayers hails from Indiana, got his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Indiana, entered public health service right after graduation from Buffalo. He got interested in occupational diseases, now heads 90 research workers in a big laboratory at Bethesda, Md. His list of published articles requires ten pages of typing. He is on the governing council of the A. P. H. A., a trustee of the Air Hygiene foundation, and a member of several medical, engineering and industrial societies. He holds a lieutenant colonel's rank, lives in Alexandria, Va. �4 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Council Approves New General Alumni Board The General Alumni association, which has operated intermittently for the last 25 years, and the Alumni council, which has been in existence for the last six, went out of business one day this month, when the University council approved a set of bylaws creating what will now be known as the General Alumni board. Main purpose of the action was to amalgamate into one central agency the two bodies which in the past have been striving toward the same objectives: University welfare, alumni acquaintance, stimulation of alumni activity. Leaders were prompted by the knowledge that the popular confusion arising out of the existence of two similar groups will be cleared up once and for all. Almost simultaneous with the council's act was the announcement by the Alumni Club, Inc., of intention to change its name to the Alumni Boosters, thus doing away with a third name which had added to the confusion, and putting a final touch tc the clarification of the entire structure. The Alumni Boosters will give attention primarily to university athletics, will at tempt to increase sympathy and attendance for intercollegiate contests, which have been frequently unsatisfactory to Buffalo's wellwishers, but never disgraceful. The General Alumni board, now officially the sole central alumni agency, will operate a program of general alumni activity, THE NEW CENTRAL ALUMNI STRUCTURE assist the divisional associations and out-of town or "district" clubs, and undertake a financial program for the direct benefit of the university's endowment and operating budget.

How did the Iris come to be the university's official flower. With these questions in mind the Alumni office has been doing some research. A recent letter from Harrison Williams, LLB '93 of Leesburg, Va., throws considerable light on the subject. It is published below. — Dear Mr. Cook: In response to your letter of the 20th instant, it is a pleasure to send you the information you seek about the origin of the colours of the University of Buffalo. In the summer of 1892, when I had completed my first year of the Law school work, there was a fashion among college students of wearing small metal buttons on the coat lapel with the colours of their college enamelled thereon. It occurred to me that it would be a good thing for the University of Buffalo men to follow the fashion; but on enquiry I found that the university had no colours. I talked it over with friends and made some investigation as to costs, but in August, as a member of the 65th regiment, I was called out on strike duty and had to drop the matter. Then in September, with the strike over, I again took it up. Since my talk before the alumni association in Washington on the 3rd instant I have found some old journals or diaries which help my memory in the matter. On the 2nd of September 1892 I had a long conference with one of the law students named Harrington. I suggested the blue and white colours, pointing out that we must have a different shade of blue from that used by Columbia, and he approved. Later on that same day I laid our plan before Mr. E. Carlton Sprague, who was then chancellor of the university and senior member of the firm of Sprague, Morey, Sprague and Brownell in whose offices I was serving my law clerkship. My diary entry says that the plan received Mr. Sprague's "very cordial approval." I then obtained a sketch of our design and cost estimate from King & Eisele, manufacturing jewelers, whose offices as I recall were on the northwest corner of Eagle & Washington streets (upstairs) and the cost of the little gold-plated button, enamelled on its face, was to be $1 each, not less than twenty to be ordered. On the 13th September, according to my diary, "there was a meeting of the Council of the University on Tuesday afternoon and Mr. Sprague had a resolution adopted appointing Charles P. Norton and myself a committee of two to choose a button for the university. I reported the fact to Mr. Norton and we will go ahead with the matter with as much speed as possible." Mr. Norton, as you know, was then registrar of the Law school. His enthusiasm and work on anything he undertook generally carried it through. He apparently approved of the colours suggested and what work he had done for in the I find "Monday" (10th September) "was also noteworthy on account of the first of the new University of Buffalo buttons making its appearance." This, I think, was a sample for approval. The Law school opened on the 26th September, Judge Charles Daniels was then dean. On Monday 3rd October 1892 "The Law school buttons, twenty of them, were finished and partially distributed in the school meeting, with very general approval. Mr. Sprague, as chancellor, was one of the first to get one" and at once wore it —"jauntily"—l noted. 10th October:—"ln accordance with a suggestion from Charles P. Norton, I called upon Dr. Barrett, the dean of the new Dental department of the university, in order to ask him to appoint a committee from his students to confer with representatives of the other departments on the question of distributing the new university button in the Dental school. The men he told me had hardly got together as yet as their year was a shorter one than ours, but as soon as they were fairly organized he would bring the matter before them." Tuesday 4th October:—"l collected a part of the money for the buttons which Norton sent around to the faculty." 6th December 1892: —"We had the third meeting of the students committee of the University of Buffalo last night at the old Medical college on the southwest corner of The first Main and Virginia streets piece of work we undertook was to get the University button generally distributed in the different schools and in this we have been very successful indeed from tonight's reports. Our next piece of work was to get all the schools to unite on one general commencement day." The Medical and Pharmacy schools offered no difficulties, but the Law faculty demanded a longer year, which blocked the project. 26: May: 1893. After Law graduation exercises at the Music Hall, there was a Law school alumni banquet at the Hotel Iroquois. Mr. Sprague as Chancellor presided, with the Law faculty also present. After the banquet the Alumni Association of the Buffalo Law school was organized. I am enclosing six letters referring to the above matters. I remember putting them away in the belief that sometime they would be of interest to the university. My old press letter-book (tissue copies taken from dampened letters) will give more detail, I think it is stored away somewhere and, if I find it, I shall send you copies of my letters referring to the colours. The blue and white ribbons you refer to must have come sometime after the selection of the colours—certainly they are not on my diploma and I have never heard of them before. I know nothing at all nor have heretofore heard of the Iris as the university flower but think it appropriate that it should have been chosen. It was a real pleasure to meet with the next weeks diary entry .... Washington alumni and I hope to attend other meetings. With kind regards believe me Sincerely yours HARRISON WILLIAMS Sport Season Dismal FOOTBALL With the worst gridiron campaign since 1927 indelibly written into the record books, Buffalo's young head football coach and athletic director, Jim Peelle, this month started spring practice with a squad of about 30 men on whom he rests his hopes for next season. Contributing to Peelle's optimism, which he hides under a gloomy exterior, was the showing of the freshman team, which won two out of its three games last fall, while the varsity suffered seven straight defeats in as many starts. The 1940 schedule calls for eight games starting Sept. 20, of which four will be played at home. Newcomers are Drexel and Williams, while the familiar colors of Susquehanna, Alfred, Connecticut, C. C. N. Y., Hobart and Wayne will once more be seen on the field with the Blue and White. Schedule-makers have their problems, among which guessing at long range the calibre of home teams and opponents is not the least. Whether Buffalo teams will be on a parity with Lehigh, Washington and Jefferson and Johns Hopkins by 1941 is unknown. At any rate, those institutions are on the program for year after next. BASKETBALL Basketball, requiring each year more speed and stamina, has been played by Buffalo squads which have become steadily smaller and weaker since the championship days of the early Thirties. The fact that Art Powell's 25th anniversary team lost every game but one takes nothing from his fine record as a coach, emphasizes once again the need for material. Last Milestones '84 MD—George E. Brewer, professor in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia university, whose son, George E. Brewer, Jr., was for two years a member of the English department at Buffalo. '88 MD—Henry C.

Athletic Merit Dinner High school athletes, sports writers, sportscasters, public officials, alumni leaders, university executives and facultymen gathered at dinner in Norton hall one night early this month. The occasion was the university's first annual Merit Award dinner, held in honor of the 100 outstanding high school athletes of Erie and Niagara counties. Chosen by a Niagara frontier jury of award, the boys were to hear praise for their achievements on diamond, court and gridiron, and iu receive silver medals fxn. those achieve*ments. Praise there was, in full measure, but especially welcome to the ears of all university athletic followers were the remarks of several of the speakers. Samples: Council Chairman James McCormick Mitchell, LLB "97—"We may look back upon this occasion as the dawn of new days in the history of athletics in the University of Buffalo." Chancellor Capen—"We hope to impress you favorably; to impress you with our good will." Buffalo's Mayor Thomas L. Holling—"A good omen for the future of athletics in Buffalo and in the University of Buffalo."' The Very Rev. Austin Pardue, dean of St. Paul's Episcopal cathedral and "father of the Golden Gloves tournament" was principal speaker, and William C. Baird, young Buffalo industrialist and junior member of the council, toastmaster. It was one of the shortest banquet programs on record, for the boys were to be guests at three intercollegiate athletic contests. Trooping across campus in a body they found reserved seats in Clark gymnasium, saw the windup of a freshman basketball game in which Hobart defeated Buffalo 33-27, cheered the varsity on as it played the best game of the season, losing by a dignified 41-40 score. The wrestling team scored a distinct triumph over Alfredgarnering 20 points to the Purple's eight Academic Freedom and Tenure By W. T. Laprade Reprinted from the Bulletin of the American Association of University Professors Some public leaders, jealous of the good name of institutions established for the education of youth, anxious to safeguard the minds of students from contamination by doctrines esteemed by the majority to be dangerous, would have us eliminate from college and university faculties those who do not conform to accepted patterns of thought and exclude from the halls of learning those who dare to call in question the current social organization or conventional behavior. Some would go so far as to exclude from libraries literature containing expositions of views that are extremely unorthodox. With these missionaries of fear and apostles of inertia abroad and active, it may not be amiss to remind ourselves again of the implications of freedom, of the advantages of tested knowledge, of the security arising from an honest willingness to search for truth and to face things as they are. From the beginning, our government was founded on the assumption that a majority of the people, if properly canvassed, will respond to sane leadership and may be trusted as a rule to support that which is sound and to reject that which is unwholesome. If this is a safe premise, and it is supported by the Bill of Rights which is a part of the Constitution of the United States, we need not fear to tolerate on the platform any orderly speakers who can find audience or to allow any author to print who can find readers This is the accepted method by which the public at large in the United States is assumed to be moved to accept some leaders and the issues with which they identify themselves and to reject others less able to win popular favor. If this freedom of public discussion is a necessary part of the method by which we are wont to select leaders and decide questions concerning which there is a difference of opinion, it is all the more important that even greater freedom prevail in the institutions of learning where potential leaders are trained and where conventional habits and accepted notions are and ought to be systematically tested to see whether they may not perchance be improved. If the young men and women admitted to colleges and universities may not in their formative years be permitted to hear all sides of contentious questions with a confident expectation that most of them will develop the ability to discriminate between that which is impracticable and dangerous and that which is just and sound, we can scarcely anticipate that the populace will behave with sanity. and our government can not be expected to endure. An academic community is the safest place to hear and examine proposals of change, because its members have presumably developed the habit of listening to such suggestions with a critical mind and of testing their merits with a suitable technique.. College and university platforms, therefore, ought to be more readily available than others for those who would give voice to proposals which they esteem to be for the public good. An academic community has aii auuiiiond reason for being thus tolerant, that only by preserving for its own members the right to propound and test hypotheses that may prove to be unsound can it have hope of pursuing with security the quest for truth.

Buffalo alumni will have an opportunity to participate in a busy program next year. Hard upon the creation of the new General Alumni board last month came the formation of an executive committee, which is already setting up a list of activities for the next twelvemonth. Appointed as an interim committee to carry on until formal election of officers in June, the executive committee apparently intends to make a mark for energy during its brief existence. Having elected Victor B. Wylegala, LLB '19 first president, it has created the five all-important standing committees made mandatory by the by-laws, which are studying their respective fields preparatory to establishing a schedule of events. President Wylegala has a full record of public activities to his credit. A Canisius man (BA '13, MA '15), he entered the university Law school, but was in service overseas before he finished his course. As a first lieutenant in the field artillery, he was with the A. E. F. at the Oise-Aisne and Meuse-Argonne offensives and went into Belgium with the Army of Liberation. He got his law degree in 1919 following his return to the United States. Active in Republican politics, he was a Buffalo city councilman from 1928 to 1931. and was elected judge of Erie county's Children's court in 1938 for a six-year term. He was elected to the Universitycouncil in 1937, sat on the Alumni council during the deliberations leading to its merger with the General Alumni association. and was co-author of the by-laws of the new General A'umni board. At its organization meeting last month the board chose the following chairmen of standing committees: Alumni funds. Morey C. Bartholomew. LLB '09, who is also president of the Law Alumni association: bequests. George G. Davidson Jr.. LLB '97; public relations, George E. Slotkin. MD '11, past president of the Medical Alumni association; alumni activities, Francis D. Leopold, MD '14, who served as the GAA's last presidentj_associations and clubs. Dr. A. Bertraml'Lemon. PhG '13, onetime alumni secretary^—~* These, with five others, comprise the temporary executive committee. The additional members: LaVerne H. Brucker, DDS '21; Leon J. Gauchat, DDS '19; James E. King, MD '96. last chairman of the Alumni council; Carleton O. Vernier, PhG '33; Helen G. Walker, MD 28. William G. Cook, BS '27, alumni secretary of the university, becomes executive secretary of the board, and will continue following committee activities were under consideration this month: Alumni Funds: Establishment within a year of an Alumni Loyalty fund, which, like those operative at scores of other colleges and universities, would require an annual appeal for contributions to the WYLEGALA, '19 university's operating account; continuance of the Senior Memorial fund, by which each new graduate is invited to pledge a small annual gift for five years after gradu- ation. Bequests: Appointment of alumni who are bankers, trust officers or estate attorneys, as committees of one to point out to clients the good to be accomplished bywriting the university into their wills. This, too, has ample precedent at other institu- tions. Trust agreements and insurance policies are also under consideration. Public Relations: Since the public relations committee's main function is to assist other committees in carrying out their programs, proposals in this department are not very concrete. In the meanwhile, ways and means of educating officers and workers of all alumni associations and clubs through the medium of a handbook or other literature are being discussed. Alumni Activities: At least three public events of alumni interest are under consideration for next year. A fuller program of events for Homecoming may, temporarily set for Nov. 9. when Buffalo plays Hobart, is regarded as a necessity. At the same time it is wrily pointed out that the success of Homecoming depends to some extent on the football team. University day, traditional with the alumni as well as the students, faculty and administration, also will get increased attention. A Commencement day reunion in June is a third possibility. Many institutions bring the classes back at this time, hold processions, sports contests, fraternity parties and other sociable events. Associations and Clubs: While the divisional associations are active on the whole, there is still much room for improvement. An added effort to increase activities of the 14 district clubs, and to found new ones, is regarded as important. Not yet referred to specific committees are such problems as assistance to the university in preparatory school relations, increasing of student understanding of alumni affairs, vocational advisement and increased interest in alumni elections to the University council. Thus, six years away from the university's anniversary, the alumni are preparing as never before to bind themselves and their Alma Mater into one big unit for the greater good of a great educational enterprise.

Kaufer, Bessie M„ '28 LLB Given considerable publicity recently was the university's new two-year graduate course leading to the degree of master of public administration. Unique in the academic world is the fact that the course is administered by the Graduate School of Social Work, because such a curriculum is usually an offshoot of the department of government or of business administration, and in only a few cases does it exist as a separate school. There are valid academic reasons for the Buffalo plan, in the belief of Dr. Niles Carpenter, dean of the school. "We think training in public administration should be related to a specific functional field of government," he says, "and that the man who is going to be employed in government wi'l be employed as an expert in his own field, with additional qualifications in the administrative aspects of that field.

Youngburg, professor of biochemistry was elected chapter president of Sigma Xi, honorary scientific fraternity, at the annual meeting last month. Other officers chosen: Dean Edward J. Moore, vice president; secretary, Dr. J. Graham Edwards; treasurer, Dr. Bird R. Stephenson. Dr. Youngburg is the author of an article on "A New Color Reaction for Vitamin B-l" which appeared in a recent issue of Science. "Furthermore, schools of social work throughout the United States have developed a technique for integrating theory and practice, through the device of supervised field work. We give definite academic credit for field work. We assign the services of our full-time faculty to arranging for field work and constantly linking it up with the student's classroom work and his own persona! and academic progress. It is relatively easy to transfer this technique from the standard social fields to such administrative fields as public welfare administration and housing where we have placed our own students. "Finally, we believe that social work has discovered certain principles in the art of human relations which can be applied most fruitfully to any administrative situation. Social workers for years have been dealing with individuals and groups under tension and strain. They have learned many things about the emotional and other factors that promote smooth working relations and release creative energy. We believe, for example, that most of what we have learned concerning the stimulation of adult group activity can be carried over into an office staff. Likewise, we believe that the deli- balance of authority, co-operation and interpretation called for in the relationship of a case work supervisor to a junior colleague, is applicable to any public officer cate who has administrative responsibility. "We are not training for public administration in vacuo. We are relating it only to those functional fields in which we have ready at hand adequate staff and usable field work facilities. They include public welfare, housing and city planning, statistics and penology." At the present time there are about 45 registrations in the graduate curriculum in public administration and the administrational aspects of public welfare. The program is administered by an autonomous committee headed by the dean of the school. Its executive secretary is a professor of government, and its membership includes the corporation counsel of the city of Buffalo, the technical director of the Buffalo City Planning association, the assistant director of the Buffalo Municipal Research bureau. Requirements for the degree include completion of 1200 clock hours of supervised field practice in public administration, a thesis and a comprehensive written and oral examination. In addition to classwork in professional practice, students must pursue certain courses in basic principles and skills, such as political science, economics, finance, accounting, research methods, statistics, case work, community organization. Numbered among the present students are workers from the local office of the Social Security administration, city employes, county welfare workers, a village clerk from a suburban community. �ALUMNI BULLETIN District Club News LOCKPORT Scheduled for May 25 at Belknap field, Lockport, N. Y., is the Fifth Annual University of Buffalo Track meet, sponsored by the Lockport Alumni association. Growing each year, the meet has attracted so many high schools that this year they will be divided into two groups—an "A" division for schools with a boy registration of 300 or more, a "B" division for those with less than 300. Trophies will be awarded in each division to the schools amassing the most GEORGE. '29 points. Special trophies will be awarded for the 880 relay in both divisions. President Clyde W.

Other university facultymen who will be 3 Plan 10 Niagara Frontier Scholarships Three separate efforts were under way this month in support of the Niagara Frontier scholarship plan, which now has the approval of the University council: 1) A drive among influential Buffalo area residents for membership in the University of Buffalo Associates, official sponsors of the scholarship project. 2) An alumni drive for financial contributions to the fund, by the Alumni Boosters. 3) A ticket sale for an amateur boxing show, to be held in Buffalo Broadway auditorium on Wednesday, May 1. Proceeds of all three enterprises will be pooled in the Niagara Frontier Scholarship fund. Its backers are hopeful that they will have available full tuition for ten entering freshmen this fall, who, under the terms of the scholarship, have demonstrated scholastic ability, good character and physical vigor. Each scholarship would amount to 5375. The Associates' group consists of nonalumni, led by University Councilor William C. Baird. His followers have challenged the alumni to match contributions dollar for dollar. This has caused the Alumni Boosters, headed by Walter S. Behrens, DDS '30, to start a similar canvass of the entire graduate body. Third source of revenue is the boxing show which is being arranged by Art Johnson, Buffalo, entrepreneur. He promises in the nation's capital for scientific meetings at the same time are expected to attend. The club's March meeting was held on the day before Easter in Mrs. Redding's home. A visitor was Frank J. Dressier, BA '30, MA '33 of Buffalo. several national headliners, and has declared that he will donate the proceeds to the fund. Preceding the boxing show, the Alumni Boosters will hold the annual Block B dinner at which Buffalo varsitymen will be guests. The event is scheduled for Hotel Lafayette at 6 P. M. All alumni are invited to attend. The aim of the University of Buffalo Associates, as set forth in the attractive folder distributed by Mr. Baird's committee is described thus: "This group of public-spirited men has been formed to assist in promoting wellrounded development of the University of Buffalo. They propose to establish scholarships for all-around boys who will help make the University of Buffalo more widely recognized as the outstanding educational institution it is. The University of Buffalo Associates is a non-profit organization. Its members give their time and money for the good of the university. The University of Buffalo Alumni Boosters, composed of alumni of all parts of the university, will match the efforts and contributions of the 'Associates' in raising funds. Two friends will pay the entire cost of this mailing and other publicity expenses. Every cent you contribute will be turned over to the University of Buffalo." Under the plan, a committee of sponsors will nominate the scholarship recipients. The committee consists of Mr. Baird and Dr. Behrens, and E. F. "Tommy" Hughitt, Edwin Lang Miller, Judge Victor B. Wylegala, LLB '19; George E. Slotkin, MD '11; Arnott A. Moore, DDS '15; Dr. Frederick J. Holl, BS '22. Final approval of the committee's nominations must come from the university's own committee on scholarships and loans. The Alumni Who's Who A LONG record of experience as a hospital administrator is that of Leon M. Wilbor, MD '11 of San Francisco.

College courses in summer satisfy a definite need in an institution's program. Undergraduates who want extra credits, wish to shorten the time to graduation, or have to take courses missed or failed during the academic year, find such offerings convenient and necessary. Graduates working for advanced degrees or merely desiring instruction as aids in their professions, likewise are thankful for estival education. This year the university Summer session is laying special emphasis on opportunities available to what Director Leslie O. Cummings calls "the members of our community.'' Parents, club members, businessmen and business women and others concerned with the problems of intelligent citizenship in the changed conditions of modern life, will find in the catalog, courses which examine the backgrounds of current economic, social and educational questions. Among the new courses which will be offered are "The Public School Art Program and Its Relation to the Community;" "Lithography. Block Printing and Other Graphic Arts;" "Creative Form and Craft Design;" "Foundations of Creative Contemporary Design;" "Creative Surface Design;" "Economic Problems in World Affairs;" "Background of Modern Political Institutions;" "Bases of Method in Modern Thought;" "Practical Applications of Elementary Psychiatry;" "Office Practice;" "Rural Sociology." Altogether 170 courses will be offered by the 30 different departments participating. Central theme of the 1940 Summer session: "Responsibilities in the Face of World Conflict for Maintaining and Developing Traditions of Culture as Viewed from Education, Art, Business and the Sciences." Dates for the session are July 1 to Aug. 10. Persons are admitted without examination. They may enroll in any course for WIN CORNELL AWARDS Among the 63 fellowships and scholarships awarded in the Cornell Graduate school for 1940-41 were two for Buffalo graduates. Grace B. Ruckh, BA '39 won the graduate scholarship in Greek and Latin, while Mary Louise Carlson, BA '38 was awarded the fellowship in Greek and Latin. which, in the judgment of the instructor, their previous training or experience qualifies them. Except in the case of students registering for a degree in the university, formal statements of credit need not be presented at the time of registration. In every instance, however, the student must satisfy the instructor of his fitness to undertake the work of the course in which he proposes to register. An innovation to the college world is evening summer courses, which the university will introduce this year. Sponsored by Millard Fillmore college, instruction will begin June 3. Courses will run from eight to ten weeks. All this is in addition to the day Courses in the regular Summer session, which opens July 1. Within recent years there has been a definite tendency by adult students toward setting up degree goals and pursuing them diligently over a period of years. Since they work during the day. however, it is difficult for them to carry more than a limited program during the nine-month academic year. When Dean Lewis A. Froman last fall circulated a questionnaire among his 3000 students, more than half of them signified interest in evening courses during the summer. In the fields of business administration. engineering, nursing, social work, arts and sciences,, the new courses include systems accounting, money and banking, mechanical drawing, engineering drawing, empirical design, mechanics of machinery, kinematics of machinery, elementary surveying, machine design, freshman English, constitutional development, freshman mathematics. advanced anatomy, evolution, ethics, general psychology, mental hygiene for social workers. They will carry full university credit and will be taught by faculty members from the various divisions of the university and a group of special lecturers. Classes will meet two and three evenings a week. MACHLUP'S SIXTH BOOK by an English publishing house is the English version of The Stock Market.

M. A. Statement Alumni readers of the Journal of the American Medical association were downcast recently when they saw a tabulation of state board examinations which indicated that Buffalo graduates of the Class of 1939 were listed high in the percentage of failures for New York state schools. According to Journal figures, there were 4379 graduates in the United States examined, of whom 2.8 per cent failed. Compared with this national average, the Albany Medical college showed fai'.ures of 20 per cent, while the University of Buffalo Medical school's failures were 22.6 per cent. Stung by these figures, Buffalo authorities immediately got in touch with A.M.A. officials, pointed out that in reckoning up the results, statisticians had taken into account only those graduates who had tried state board examinations, paying no attention to those who had taken the National board examinations in lieu thereof. Buffalo figures showed that last year six graduates tried examinations in Florida, Illinois. Massachusetts, Pennsylvania or Rhode Island, and one failed. Twentyone tried the New York examinations, and five failed. At the same time, 45 tried the National board examinations, and none failed. Prompt was the A.M.A.'s reply, in which Dr. William D. Cutter, secretary, acknowledged that the university's figures threw a much different light on the situation. Said he: "I am asking the editor of the Journal to publish a statement to this effect, and I shall also try to revise our methods of tabulating the state board results in such a manner as to avoid unintentional implications which may be embarrassing to any particular medical school." Enclosed was this statement, for publication in the medical news section of the journal: "UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO SCHOOL In connection with the OF MEDICINE. figures for the University of Buffalo School of Medicine, on pages 1637 and 1641 of the State Board Number of the Journal. April 27, and in particular the percentage failing state board examinations, attention is called to the fact that since 1937 the students of this school have been required to pass part I of the examination of the National Board of Medical Examiners. Many students voluntarily complete the examinations of the National board and secure licensure on this basis instead of taking those given by the state licensing — boards. The University of Buffalo reports that 45 of the 61 students in the Class of 1939 passed part II of the examinations of the National board last year. Including this number in the group who were examined for licensure would materia'ly change the percentage of failures shown in tables 2 and 4." Since this interchange, the university has been notified that two more who tried the second part of the National board examinations passed. Alumni News Brevities '02 LLB—Joseph A.

Ott, of mathematics at the of its co-authors. AUTHOR "College Algebra" assistant professor university, as one No. 4 Cowley for Graduation The city of Buffalo is acquainted with the heads of many a neighboring institution of higher learning, through the good offices of the University of Buffalo. A new president is almost certain to be invited as a Commencement speaker within a year or two after his inauguration. For the 94th Commencement speaker on June 12, citizens, faculty, and a class of nearly 500 will hear Dr. William H. Cowley, new president of Hamilton college. A graduate of Dartmouth with a doctor's degree from the University of Chicago, he has been executive secretary of the board of vocational guidance and placement at the latter institution, and more recently a member of the psychology department and research associate in the bureau of educational research at Ohio State university. Dr. Cowley is an ardent believer in holoism—the development of the whole person during college years. He would therefore, have approved the program of Senior week, from which Buffalo collegians have just emerged. In the dying days of their academic career, campus fourth-yearlings wore caps and gowns, planted the traditional ivy at Edmund Hayes hall, invested in their university's future by joining the Senior Memorial fund, frolicked in the biggest and best Moving Up day parade in history, saw a pre-view of next season's football team in an intra-squad game which climaxed spring practice, then began sharpening pencils for final examinations. Wills Buffalo $50,000 The University of Buffalo was named recipient of a bequest of 550,000, the income of which is to be used "for the purpose of establishing scholarships in the liberal arts of that institution," in the will of Mrs. Amelia S. Woodruff of East Aurora, N. Y., who died recently. The scholarships are to be known as the Lorin James Woodruff scholarships, in memory of Mrs. Woodruff's late husband, onetime manager of Swift & Co., in London, Eng. The will stipulates that "the officers, trustees, directors or individuals are to determine the standards and conditions upon which said scholarships shall be awarded." It further explains: "I make this bequest in memory of my late husband and by reason of his interest in young men and women—their education and mental development." �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Alumni Give To Fund Ninety-one alumni so far have made contributions to the Niagara Frontier Scholarship fund, it is announced by President Walter S. Behrens, DDS '30, of the Alumni Boosters. The organization is making an appeal to alumni of the university, while the University of Buffalo Associates, official sponsors of the scholarships, are soliciting non-alumni in the Buffalo area. AH proceeds will be pooled for the support of the scholarships. The fund will be augmented by the profits on the amateur boxing matches held recently at Broadway auditorium, which amounted to 51032.25. Credit for the success of the show goes to the committee headed by Leo T. Crowley, DDS '22, who was also toastmaster at the Block "B" banquet which preceded it. At the latter event, members of various varsity teams received their certificates of award from Dr. Reginald H. Pegrum, chairman of the Faculty Committee on Policy and Co-ordination of Athletics, then moved in a body to the auditorium for the boxing matches. Alumni contributors to the scholarship fund at May 10 were: CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS Frederick J. Holl. SUSTAINING MEMBERS Frank P. Ciambrone. Samuel J. Harris, Edward G. Kinkel, Henry A.

At World's Fair Again Last year the University of Buffalo was represented at the New York World's Fair with a huge photomontage of indoor and outdoor views. Many were the favorable comments from alumni and friends who saw the exhibit in the New York State building. This year the university is participating in the support of a center for college men and women, where visitors will find a large lounge, an open terrace, rest rooms, check boxes and refreshment facilities, A service that has been most valuable and is being continued this season is the receiving and delivering of telephone messages, to facilitate meeting friends at the fair. The building is the College and University Women's center, which extends guest privileges to men. Leading institutions including Buffalo have sent literature and pictures for display, and have made financial contributions to the support of the center. There is a daily register of guests, as well as a register for each college, so that interested persons can tell who has attended the fair, the New York address, duration of stay and heme address. Hector's Device Shown Modern science sometimes marvels at the skill with which ancient and medieval builders constructed rooms which were acoustically perfect. Today an up-to-date architect or builder seldom completes a job without the expert services of an acoustician armed with devices for measuring the "brilliance" or "deadness" of an auditorium, office or broadcasting studio. One such device, designed by Physics Professor L. Grant Hector, made a mild stir at the spring meeting of the New York State section of the American Physical society on campus last month. The only one of its kind in existence, it cuts appreciably the amount of work necessary to obtain measurements. Other machines supply data which require hours of computation, while Dr. Hector's machine has dials on which readings can be taken direct. Among the others on the program was Robert D. Potter, BS '27, news editor of Science Service, national newspaper syndicate with headquarters in Washington, D. C, who offered some advice on what newspapers want in the way of scientific news. Arthur A. Hammond, AC '20, BA '31, described the increasing popularity of physics in high schools, ascribing it to the growing need for vocational training. MEDICAL SENIORS GUESTS Medical school seniors were guests of the Medical Alumni association at a dinner in Norton hall a fortnight ago. Main speaker was University Council Chairman James McC. Mitchell, LLB '97, who urged them not to lose hope in this pessimistic world, where "the instinct for self-preservation will always remain. And self-preservation demands doctors." The Alumni Who's Who MAJ. Clarence E. Lauderdale was born in Elkhorn, Wis., June 15, 1873. Reared in Livingston county, N. Y., he attended the Geneseo State Normal school, and later the Dental school at Buffalo whence he was graduated in 1898. He practiced dentistry at Naples, N. Y., until 1901, then entered the U. S. Army Dental corps when it was first established. His first assignment was in Manila during the Philippine insurrection. Later he served in Texas, Colorado and Illinois.

WyleWYLEGALA. '19 court of Erie county. He had served as president since the board was created earlier this spring. Board activities had been carried on by an interim executive committee. Under the by-laws, a permanent executive committee is now set up, to consist of the officers and three other persons, who must be alumni members of the University council. The list, in addition to Judge Wylegala, is made up of Harry C. Guess, MD '12, vice president for public relations; Carleton P. Vernier, PhG '33, vice president for activities; Morey C. Bartholomew, LLB '09, vice president for alumni funds; Dean A. Bertram Lemon, PhG '13, vice president for associations and clubs; George G. Davidson Jr., LLB '97, vice president for bequests; William G. Cook, BS '27, executive secretary and Leon J. Gauchat, DDS '19; James E. King, MD '96; Griffith G. Pritchard, DDS '18. The five-point program follows: 1. Establishment as soon as practicable of an alumni loyalty fund to aid the university in its development. 2. Creation of a plan of giving to the university by bequests. 3. Stimulation of greater activity among the clubs. divisional associations and branch 4. Co-ordination of public relations media. 5. Scheduling of various public events during the year. The first of these will be Alumni Homecoming day, which has been set for November 9, date of the traditional Buffalo-Hobart football game. Only non-alumnus at the meeting was George D. Crofts, university comptroller and treasurer, who outlined the ways in which an alumnus can help his Alma Mater. "He can live an honest, honorable, outstanding life," Mr. Crofts pointed out, "because that will reflect honor on his institution. He can render personal service to it which is often worth more than financial gifts. Only a few of our nearly 10,000 alumni have that opportunity, however. And he can pick out the best high school students in his community and persuade them to attend the university. "But the thing that most of us can do is to lend some financial support as our means permit. That puts the demonstration of alumni loyalty within the power of everyone. Universities throughout the country are leaning more and more heavily on their alumni for small gifts, because the big gifts are drying up. At Cornell, for instance, annual contributions from alumni in some vears total more than $400,000." Council Chairman James McCormick Mitchell, LLB '97, reviewed the institution's progress during the past 20 years, and predicted that, with alumni help, its progress during the next 20 years will be just as great. Delegates from district c'ubs were Karl W. Brownell, BA '30, Niagara Area club (Niagara Falls); Ralph J. McMahon, MD '21, Southern Tier club (Johnson City); Charles J. Mondo, LLB '16, Monroe County club (Rochester); Mary Louise Nice, BA '32. Twin City club (Tonawanda) ; Arthur L. Runals, MD '11. Allegheny Region club (Olean). URGE AID TO ALLIES Support of the proposal to dispatch money and materials to the Allies was given by a group of faculty members recently. They signed a message to William Allen White, chairman of the Committee for the Defense of America by Giving Aid to No. 5 1940 the Allies. NEXT BULLETIN IN FALL This is the last issue of the Alumni Bulletin until October. No issues will be published during the summer. The next issue will be sent to Buffalo alumni and friends concurrently with the opening of the 1940-41 academic year. Sees Spiritual Upturn Exactly 400 degrees, diplomas and certificates were awarded at the university's 94th Commencement on June 12. Speaker of the day was Dr. William H. Cowley, president of Hamilton college, who startled his listeners with the statement that Germany began an intellectual invasion of America 75 years ago. Since that time, he declared, educators have been following more and more the German tradition of the cultivation of the mind, to the exclusion of the spirit. He pleaded for more attention to the all-around development of the college student, and expressed a belief that the present world crisis may halt America's spiritual decay.

McGrath, BA '28, MA '30, to the new post of dean of administration, heads a list of appointments and promotions announced at Commencement time by Chancellor Capen. Dr. McGrath was an active undergraduate, whose participation in musical, literary and fraternity pursuits did not prevent him from being accepted for honors in his major field (German). McGRATH, '28 The new appointment gives the university 12 deans. Since graduation he had served as assistant to the director of personnel research, assistant dean of the Evening session (now Millard Fillmore college), and assistant to the chancellor. He found time for graduate study, getting a master's degree in psychology at Buffalo and a doctor's degree at Chicago. In addition to his other duties at his Alma Mater he had served as lecturer in psychology and later assistant professor of education. In 1938 he went to Washington on leave to become specialist in higher education for the American Council on Education. He resigned from the university about a year ago. Also announced were the promotions of C. Merrill Brown to professor of chemistry; George W. Fiero, PharD '31 to associate professor of materia medica; Dr. Adelle H. Land, BS '22, MA '23, to associate professor of education and Dr. Willis L. Tressler to assistant professor of biology. Acceptance with regret of the resignation of Maud J. Frye, MD '92. as medical adviser for women, is announced by the university. Dr. Frye, whose counsel has been given to hundreds of women students during 17 years of service, has wanted to devote all of her time to private practice for some time, but had been persuaded to continue on until the present time. She was the first incumbent of the post, which was created in 1922 and filled in 1923. Dr. Frye is succeeded by Evelyn Heath Jacobsen, MD '24. Other faculty appointments announced are: Dr. Buell A. Sloan, former member of the Medical school staffs of Harvard and St. Louis universities, to be assistant professor of pathology; Dr. Thomas F. Barrett, Georgetown graduate, to be assistant in bacteriology; Marjorie E. Woods, Kenmore school teacher, to be consultant in education. Dr. Edward W. Sine, assistant professor of English, has been granted sabbatical leave for the first semester of next year. He plans to finish preparation for publication of his doctoral thesis on the poetry of the North during the Civil war. The university's advice has been sought by the U. S. Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce on a proposed plan to organize a localized business research system. Under the plan as outlined by Nathaniel H. Engle, assistant director of the bureau, during a conference with university officials, each co-operating institution would gather statistics and research material for national compilation. The university's Bureau of Business and Social Research is a'ready geared for such an effort. Its continual researches, published in its monthly Statistical Survey are much in demand mercial interests. among business and com- MASQUERS TO TRAVEL The Blue Masquers, varsity dramatic society, will participate in the first intercollegiate drama contest ever staged on Atlantic City's Million Dollar pier this summer.

The winners amassed 71 points in the division while Kenmore A PLEA FOR JOBS At this time of year every college alumnus is urged to help us find jobs for our graduating seniors. It is a part of college loyalty to boost your college. They are a fine crop, but need a little special attention this year because of the death of Mr. Morris. We estimate that of the graduates of the Arts college, about onethird are planning graduate or professional training, one-third are employed or are not interested in jobs, and one-third are hoping for jobs, some quite urgently. You can help the graduates of your college by: (1) Notifying the Personnel office of any jobs you hear might be avai'able, —even if they are outside your field. (2) Calling up the Personnel office if you hear about a rumored expansion in an industry. (3) Letting us know of any employer who is thinking about hiring someone. Suggest that he call up the Personnel office. Please be assured that our graduates are on the average superior to the college graduates in general. They are worth a boost from you! THE PERSONNEL OFFICE. Lockport rolled up 35 and Tonawanda 14. The victory gave Kenmore a second leg on the cup. East Aurora already has two legs and Lockport one. In the "B" division Gowanda and Perry tied for top honors. Special relay cups were won by Kenmore and Gowanda in their respective divisions.

Throughout the year nearly 50 students have had both ground instruction and flight training. When the course closed with the end of the academic session, everyone thought that would be the end of such instruction until next fall. Growing need for trained fliers, however, has prompted the CAA to ask for help in operating a school during the summer. So the university, with authorization from Washington, now has a new training course under way. This time it will be given free. Under the former arrangement each student had to pay $40 toward the cost of the course. The government bore the rest of the expense. Where Are They Now? Mail addressed to the following alumni has been returned for lack of correct addresses.

Froman, finance professor and Millard Fillmore college dean, will be published in November. The first volume of the work, which represents four and a half years of preparation, was published in June. No. 6 Bequest Plan Adopted Fifteen hundred law school graduates received ;i call a fortnight ago to assist their alma mater as members of a giant committee on bequests. George G. Davidprominent Buffalo attorney, is chairman. The purpose of the committee, which will hold no meetings, is to encourage clients to consider educational bequests in their DAVIDSON, '97 wills. Many colleges and universities throughout the country have tried similar plans with marked success, according to Mr. Davidson. At one eastern institution at least 51,000,000 a year is being written into wills through the services of its legal alumni. As depression and taxation have reduced incomes and estates, large benefactions have dwindled at the university. More unrestricted endowment, scholarship funds, and funds for research, equipment and maintenance are badly needed. Magnificently as the university has been supported in the past by friends and alumni, it is now confronted with the realization that it must have an increased number of benefactions if it is to survive. Committee members are urged to keep the university in mind when talking to potential testators, regardless of the size of their estates. Assisting as oiembers of Mr. Davidsons executive committee are these local alumni Morey C. Bartholomew, "09, a vice-president of the New York State Bar association; Charles Diebold, Jr., "97. president of the Western Savings Bank; Lewis R. Gulick, '05, counsel of the Erie County Savings Bank; Supreme Court Justice Samuel J. Harris, '07, LLM 08; Dana B. Hellings, '08; Thomas B. Lockwood, Law, '96, one of the university's outstanding benefactors; James McCormick Mitchell, '97. chairman of the university council; and Myron S. Short, '08, vice-president of the Buffalo Savings Bank. PROFESSOR PRATT HONORED Professor Julius W.

First recruits went into training on November 18 and will continue for 64 weeks. Working in pairs, they are scheduled to alternate between four-week periods of fulltime study at the university and apprenticeship training in the plants of the cooperating manufacturers. Applicants must be high school graduates, at least 18 years old, in good health, and fitted for shop work. They will receive university credit. The Buffalo program differs from plans undertaken elsewhere in two important respects: 1. Manufacturers provide systematic industrial training. 2. The university's contribution includes no so-called background courses—only special vocational work. The weeks spent at the cooperating industries will not be taken up haphazardly by work of any type which may need doing. Trainees' time rather will be spread carefully over specified operations to develop skills in their performance. The fourweek work periods, therefore, will be in the nature of true apprenticeship training. Among the skills for which the program will provide development are materials handling, routing, maintenance, time study, drilling, metal finishing, milling and fine turning. Plants with equipment for training along these lines are not alone eligible for participation, however. A special program has been worked out for the foundry industries, and the university is ready to cooperate in other specialized fields. While on the campus, students will study mechanical drawing, machinery and equipment, manufacturing materials, plant layout, factory organization, industrial history, and such phases of elementary physics, chemistry, and mathematics as will assist them with their jobs. Students will pay the university $40 at the beginning of each 8-week period, or Buffalo's first three home basketball games—with Canadian teams from Toronto, FT. DIX BRANCH CLUB A new branch club is being organized at Ft. Dix, N. J., where 18 Buffalo alumni now are encamped for a year's training. Recent arrivals include Captains Maurice Lutwack, LLB '30, Brainard E. Prescott, LLB '35; Lieutenants William L. Hunt, Jr. LLB '38, Carlo J. Marinello, MD '39, Joseph J. Kerr, LLB '31; Sergeant Joseph S. Bauda, PhG '39. Also invited to join were Opt. Wilfred W. Fuge, assistant in surgery in the Medical school, and Lieut. Nelson G. Russell, instructor in medicine. Officers are Maj. Harry G. Johnson, MD '15, president; Capt. William G. Cook, BS '27, secretary. on Members will meet in the Officers' club Dec. 11 to see movies of the campus.

Those who satisfactorily complete the 32 weeks of university work will receive 32 semester hours of credit, the equivalent of a year of college study. Dean Lewis A. Froman of Millard Fillmore college (downtown division) is director of the plan. Major difficulty, Dean Froman reports, has been finding enough young men in Buffalo to fill available openings. "Either there are not the large numbers of unemployed youth that we have generally assumed, or else they are unwilling to take jobs in shops," he says.

Rotary Field Packed For Homecoming - Football Season Best Since 1937 The most enthusiastic crowd in years overflowed Rotary field stands on Homecoming day, November 9, to see Buffalo play its 32nd game with Hobart college. First to score, the spirited Buffalo team made a splendid showing, but failed to hold a strong Hobart eleven with better reserve strength. Hosts of friends shared in the activities of homecomers in response to Mayor Thomas L. Holling's proclamation of a few days before, calling upon "the whole citizenry to join with alumni, faculty and students of the university in making the occasion a civic celebration." Members of the Buffalo Police Drum corps participated in a flag-raising ceremony before the game and helped to entertain spectators between halves. General Alumni Board President Victor B. Wylegala, LLB '19, greeted alumni. In Norton hall after the game, guests were received by university officials and faculty members, were greeted by more old friends. Students staged a coffee dance in their honor during the late afternoon and were their hosts at the harvest dance that evening. As a specia' feature of the buffet supper, alumni saw moving pictures of the Buffalo-Connecticut game of two weeks before, when Buffalo gave a strong team its first defeat of the season.

Gehman of the mathematics department as acting head, was announced late in December by Chancellor Capen. Other faculty members of the new department are Assistant Professor Carlos E. Harrington who has been teaching in the Arts College since 1920; and Herbert P. Fullerton of the American Engineering corporation of Cleveland, 0., who has been appointed assistant professor of engineering. The engineering department has been evolved out of a preparatory engineering curriculum which had its beginnings in 1924. At first consisting of only a year of work, it later developed into a twoyear program, on the basis of which many students have been transferred with advanced standing to leading engineering schools of the East. Sixteen per cent of this year's Arts freshman are registered in the engineering curriculum. For the benefit of draftsmen and industrial workers employed during the day, since 1932 the university has offered many of its engineering courses in the evening. To qualified students who complete this curriculum and are not interested in continuing for their degrees at other institutions, the university grants a certificate in engineering. Twelve of the certificates have been awarded. The recent inauguration of a specialized 64-week national defense training program. together with the increased demand for general engineering courses in Buffalo, has necessitated the expansion in the engineering program and the establishment of the new deDr. Gehman came DR.

Whether the country will actually become involved in the war now raging abroad, no one can surely predict. At all events opinion is nearly unanimous that the United States should be prepared with men,.-supplies, and fighting machines to withstand any attack that might be launched *against it. All social institutions are bound to be affected, universities along with the others. Indeed, where national defense t— or offense is concerned, universities are close to the first line. They have always been in that position, and it does not appear that the novel conditions of modern war have altered either their responsibilities or the dangers to which they are subject. It is incumbent upon all members of the University of Buffalo, trustees, teachers, and students, to face these facts. What are some of the effects that we in common with other universities may anticipate from the new trend of national effort ? The enrollment of universities is peculiarly vulnerable in time of war or of preparation for defense. A large percentage of the male students of universities belongs to the age group upon which the first burden of military service falls. The Selective Service Act of 1940 specifically defers the drafting of college and university students until the end of the academic year 1940-1941, but there is no assurance that the deferment will be continued beyond next July. There seems no prospect that the colleges and universities will be used, as they finally were in 1918, for the wholesale training of officers for the army. Army plans now provide for the training of additional officers at regular officers' training camps. The only academic institutions that may expect to participate in the program of officer training are those in which units of the Reserve Officers Training Corps or the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps are now established. Hence by July. 1941, the draft will probably begin to bear upon the male students in universities who have reached the age of 21. The extent to which they will be drawn off for national service will of course depend upon the need for man power in the armed forces and in the agencies of supply. But every university — should be prepared for a substantial reduction in the rolls of its full-time students. In the case of the University of Buffalo the reduction should be in part offset by accessions to the number of part-time students who come to secure special preparation for service in the defense industries. Negotiations are now in progress between officers of the university and representatives of a number of the industries looking toward the development of several training programs in which the university will play an important part. As the defense activities grow and ramify, the opportunities for the university to participate in them through supplying essential theoretical training to members of the technical staffs will undoubtedly multiply. If the experience of 1917 and 1918 furnishes any basis of judgment, the university will also be called upon to offer its laboratories and the services of its investigators for research in problems arising out of the program of rearmament and of the organization of the country for defense. I am sure that I express the views of the Council as well as those of the faculty when I say that the university is ready to respond to these demands whenever they are made. From what has been said the Council will observe that the financial problems of the university are likely to be complicated by the steps taken by the government to meet the present national emergency. The university's balanced budget is always within a hair's breadth of being unbalanced. We cannot stand a substantial loss in the income from students' fees without incurring an operating deficit. If this is to be avoided the university must, within the next year, secure from some source additional funds to cover its regular current expenditures. The material contributions that universities can make to national defense considerable. Nevertheless, their chief contribution must be in another sphere. The United States may or may not be threatened in the near future by the military forces of a foreign power. It is now definitely threatened by ideas, both from within and from without. The principles of American democracy are threatened, both by those who understand them and do not believe in them, and by those who profess to believe in them but do not understand them. In meeting and defeating this threat universities have a crucial part to play. The great conflict which is now causing such untold misery to millions of people in other parts of the world is not wholly, or perhaps even chiefly, a military conflict. It is a conflict between the totalitarian and the democratic philosophies. The issue are is whether men shall be the pawns of the state, or whether the state shall be the servant of the individuals who compose society. One of the fundamental purposes of American democracy that our universities are expected to interpret and promote is embodied in the first amendment of the Constitution, often referred to as Article I of the Bill of Rights. And with this principle American universities are especially concerned. By this amendment American democracy is officially and specifically committed to toleration of differences of opinion. Inherent in Article I of the Bill of Rights is the thesis that dissenting minorities shall suffer no disability. Further articles in this same instrument provide that the government shall not use force against any of its citizens except those who contravene its laws or who seek by violence to overthrow it. In times of crises and excitement wellmeaning but thoughtless citizens forget or ignore these fundamental principles. They are prone to urge upon government officials actions altogether inconsistent with them. In the name of patriotism they sometimes resort to repressive acts against unpopular minorities and against individuals with whom they do not agree. It is, therefore, especially in such times that American democracy needs defenders and interpreters. It is indeed especially in times like these that American universities need to be clearsighted, consistent, and courageous, if they are to play their appointed role as guardians and exponents of the democratic idea. Just how shall universities interpret and defend American democracy? By suppressing discussion? By disciplining nonconformists? By dismissing teachers whose views are unpopular with some group of influential people? By prohibiting students from having contact with any ideas except those sanctioned by someone in authority? By indoctrinating students with some kind of social or political dogma? Not m any of these ways. Every one of them is diametrically opposed to the principles to which this democracy is dedicated. Universities can best defend American democracy by tenaciously upholding those rights which American democracy guarantees. They can best interpret American democracy by giving an example of it. The university will tolerate among its members any views on any subject and the free expression of them, no matter howoffensive they may be to the majority, or how bizarre. It will be confident that as good money drives out bad, so opinions that are unfounded will be overwhelmed by those that rest on a sound basis of evidence. No subject will be closed to inves- �3 ALUMNI BULLETIN tigation. The university will especially inquire into all subjects that are controversial, because the only intelligent and competent way to deal with a controversy—and the only democratic way—is to find out all about it; both sides of it, not one side alone. The American university will not follow the example of the universities of the totalitarian countries and substitute propaganda for the scholarly search for truth. The foregoing paragraphs present no new concept to the members of the Council of the University of Buffalo. The Council has for many years conceived the role of this university in substantially these terms. I venture to review these familiar matters again only because I am persuaded that in the period we are entering extraordinary efforts will be made by entirely sincere persons both inside and outside the university to induce the Council and the faculty to modify or abandon this concept. We are not altogether unaccustomed to such pressures, but I foresee that they will be stronger than ever and more difficult to resist. The real test of our faith in the principles of university administration to which we are committed and of our willingness to uphold them lies just ahead. THE YEAR 1939-1940 Enrollment and Finances The total enrollment for the year under review was 5285, once more the largest in the history of the university. The increase over the preceding year, however, was only 1.50 per cent. The enrollment of the Summer session likewise registered a gain of less than one per cent. The increase of the university's student population, therefore, occurred almost entirely in the fulltime day divisions. In the preceding reports I have called the Council's attention to the fact that the enrollment in the day divisions has, since 1932, been subject to only minor fluctuations and that its general trend has been slowly upward. In the year under review the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Law, and the School of Education showed a decline in enrollment. All of the other professional schools showed gains. For several years the comptroller has reported that the income from fees of students constitutes approximately 80 per cent of the university's total income. The annual increases in the total income have of late been almost wholly due to increases in enrollment, for although there have been each year substantial additions to the endowment funds of the university the rate of return on these funds has been declining. Central University Services The Libraries The Lockwood Memorial library, the main library of the university, becomes every year a more important instrument of education for the campus students and of general culture for the citizens of Buffalo. The steady growth in the central book collection continues. The special poetry col- lection aided by the generous grant of the Carnegie corporation has increased by more than.l"7oo printed volumes. Thanks also to the Carnegie corporation, the Lockwood Memorial library houses and services an extensive collection of music study material consisting of a phongraph and recordings of the principal classical and modern compositions. Through the generosity of the Friends of the Lockwood Memorial library extensive additions have been made to the Lockwood collection of old and rare books. Although the growth of the student body on the campus has been slight, the library records an increase of nearly 13 per cent in attendance and nearly 16 per cent in book circulation. Exclusive of the Lockwood collection of old and rare books the libraries of the university now contain approximately 160,000 volumes and over 100.000 pamphlets. Public Lectures There are two general lecture funds, the James Fenton foundation and the Orin E. Foster Lecture fund. The Fenton foundation brings to the university distinguished authorities in art, literature, and the social sciences. The lectures on the Foster foundation are in the field of the physical sciences, particularly chemistry. They are open to the public. Bureau of Personnel Research This office, the Council will remember, is in charge of a number of activities: a comprehensive testing service, a how to study course for students of doubtful high school accomplishment, a placement service for the benefit of graduates. And it carries on research. One of its most important activities in the combined fields of testing and guidance has been its direction of the work of superior high school students who by extra study and passing of special examinations are enabled to secure the bachelor's degree in less than the customary four years. In the year under review the personnel office administered 185 examinations taken for credit in advance. The record of the University of Buffalo in finding employment for its graduates has been exceptionally good. New University Officers In November 1939 the committee on general administration of the Council created the office of associate secretary of the university and charged that officer with the tasks of bringing the accomplishments and the needs of the university to the attention of individuals or groups who may be willing to assist it through financial contributions, and of putting visitors to the institution in touch with those phases of its work in which they may be interested. The committee appointed Mrs. Norman P. Clement to the post. In June, 1940, the Council created in place of the assistantship to the chancellor the office of dean of administration and recalled Dr. Earl J. McGrath to occupy the position. Activities of the Divisions of Arts and Sciences Because of the tutorial system it has not seemed practicable for the College and the School of Law to follow the common custom of permitting prospective students of law to enter the Law School at the end of the junior year and to receive both the bachelor's degree in arts and the law degree at the end of a six-year period. By a vote of the faculty during the year under review, however, the departments of history and government and of economics are permitted to arrange joint programs with the Law School which will offer their students-- this- privi4ege..The University of Buffalo is one of six institutions of the Middle Atlantic states which carry on a program for medical technologists which is approved by the Board of Registry and by the American Medical Association. This course of study is carried on in co-operation with the Edward J. Meyer Memorial hospital. Students in this course, which at present leads to a B. A. College degree, spend approximately three-quarters of their time on the campus. School of Medicine About a decade ago the school undertook an extensive self-survey which explored the curriculum, the organization of departments, teaching methods, and examinations. As a result of it a number of extensive changes were made. One outgrowth was the present plan for comprehensive examinations administered to all seniors. The faculty of the school has determined that another selfsurvey is desirable. It has authorized committees to examine not only the curriculum as a whole but also the organization, the facilities, and the teaching methods of the principal departments. School of Dentistry For several years the number of applicants for admission to the freshman class has been far in excess of the number that could be accepted. There cants for were 249 appli- admission during the year under Fifty-two were finally registered. review. They came from 25 different universities, 13 of these being outside the state of New York. The percentage of applicants holding baccalaureate degrees has also increased. Nineteen of this year's entering class were college graduates. Another gratifying tendency has been the recent annual increase in the number of dental graduates who have taken hospital internships. Twenty-nine members of the present graduating class have accepted such internships for the coming year. School of Pharmacy The quantitative requirements for the education of a pharmacist have been increased more extensively and more rapidly during the last 20 years than have the requirements for the preparation of any other professional practitioners. Finally the State Education Department decreed that beginning with 1937 schools of pharmacy must require a four-year course leading to the degree of bachelor of science in pharmacy. �4 The pharmacy school has enjoyed no period of stability for more than 15 years. Its enrollment has fluctuated, sometimes violently, in response to these constantly changing requirements. Whenever the time requirements for any course of professional education have been increased the enrollment of the schools preparing for the profession has fallen off. There seems to be reason to believe that further additions to the time requirements for the preparation of pharmacists are not immediately in prospect. The apparent stabilization of the quantitative requirements has had already a favorable influence on enrollment of students. In the year under review the enrollment increased more than five per cent. The university is interested in this phenomenon for more than purely selfish reasons. There has been an acute shortage of qualified pharmacists in the state for several years. It is now to be hoped that the agencies of supply will soon be in a position to remedy this difficulty. In the spring of 1940 a chapter of the national honorary society Rho Chi was established in the school. School of Law In previous reports I have noted the large increase in the size of the library in the Law School during recent years. Two years ago the library had outgrown its quarters. By the end of the year under review the problem of space had become acute. The Council has met the problem by authorizing the reconstruction and equipment of the small building owned by the university directly behind the Law School. The building will also provide a lounging room for the students. The percentage of freshmen who are college graduates continues to increase. This year 42 per cent held undergraduate degrees as against 34 per cent in the preceding year. School of Business Administration The Observation Plan continues to attract the better students. A general survey of the experience of the school's graduates who have been in the Observation Plan from its inception was undertaken by letter during the year under review. The great majority of these alumni recorded their belief that participation in the Plan was a unique educational experience. Leading industrialists, merchants, and business experts have once more accepted appointments as associate members of the faculty or as special lecturers. The total registration of the school was 286. This is the largest enrollment in its history. School of Education A year ago I informed the Council of the new ruling of the Regents of the University of the State of New York requiring, after the year 1942, five years of combined undergraduate, graduate, and professional preparation of candidates for certificates to teach academic subjects in the secondary schools of the state. The State Education Department has not as yet issued prescriptions covering the content of this UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO extended period of training for high school teachers. It seems likely, however, that the universities with schools of education on the graduate level and with well-developed graduate courses in the arts and sciences will attract a larger percentage of prospective high school teachers than they have in the past. The programs of the School of Education of the University of Buffalo that have been developed during the last ten years place it in a peculiarly favorable position to respond to whatever demands may be made upon it in fulfillment of the new state requirements. The Council realizes that perhaps the weakness of the universityis its low sa'ary scale. Although salaries were never high enough, they were relatively better before the enforced reduction of eight years ago. The low salary level affects some divisions of the university very seriously. The School of Education is one of these divisions. In this field the university is in competition for staff members not only with other universities but also with the public school system. The result for the University of Buffalo is that greatest present it cannot keep its able instructors in education. The School of Education has lost one or more of its best teachers every year for the last five years. Such rapid changes of personnel as the school has had to meet, threaten the continuity of policy and cast a very heavy burden on the administrative officers. School of Social Work The process of stabilization in enrollments in social work continues. It is probable that the school will not grow much in the near future. Nevertheless, its record in placing its graduates is almost phenomenal. The graduates of no other professional school of the university are as sure of finding immediate employment. The faculty of the school has from the beginning been alert to forecast the changes in the demand for new personnel inside the large general field of social work. It foresaw the shifting of the center of gravity from private agencies to public agencies and met this situation with appropriate offerings. It set up departments of housing and city planning and of public administration before most schools of social work realized the importance of these specialties. It is now planning new offerings in the special fields of refugee service and other peculiar services produced by the war in Europe and defense preparations in the United States. Millard Fillmore College The percentage of college graduates and other college trained people in the enrollment of Millard Fillmore College continues to increase. More than half the student body is now composed of persons who have pursued their education beyond high school graduation. A larger percentage of the students in this division are likewise enrolled in programs leading toward degrees. Probably the most interesitng new de- velopment during the year was the program for the training of civilian student pilots in co-operation with the Civil Aeronautics Authority. The university gave the ground school course. Training in flying was conducted apart from the university. Students were given approximately 35 hours of flying time. Some 10,000 students were taking similar training programs in 435 universities and colleges throughout the country during the academic year just ended. Failures in the examinations administered at the end of the course by the Civil Aeronautics Authority have run as high as 50 per cent. The Council will be interested to learn that the students at the University of Buffalo made a perfect record in these examinations and that all who took the examinations received the private pilot's license. The Work-Study Plan During its second year of operation the Work-Study Plan proved its value to the students enrolled in it, to the co-operating firms, and to the university as a whole. A number of firms have been so well pleased with the quality of employees coming to them through the intermediation of the university that they have taken on additional students. The Work-Study Plan is designed primarily to furnish students financial assistance. No student is accepted as a member of the Work-Study Plan unless it appears that he could not otherwise afford to pay the university fees. The average annual incomes of the families of those currently enrolled is $1650 a year. The rates of pay received by students vary from $12 a week to $21 a week. The 48 students enrolled during the year just closed earned nearly $18,000 and paid the university approximately $12,000 in tuition fees. Twenty-two firms on the Niagara Frontier co-operated with the university by employing students who were in the WorkStudy Plan. School of Nursing For ten years the university has conducted courses for nurses. Its entry into this field of higher education represented an extension of its co-operative relationships with the Buffalo City hospital (now the Edward J. Meyer Memorial hospital). The nursing practice included in the curriculum was provided for the candidates by the City hospital. The university became responsible for the academic courses and the courses in the basic sciences offered to the student nurses. Within the last few years several other hospitals have requested the university to offer to their student nurses instruction in the basic sciences and in certain academic branches. Graduates of other nurse training schools have enrolled in increasing numbers as candidates for the degree of bachelor of science in nursing. In June, 1940, the Council took the necessary action to divorce its enterprise in {Continued on page 8) �5 ALUMNI BULLETIN The Comptroller's 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, 1940, is presented herewith. The balance sheet, Exhibit "A", shows endowment assets of $6,000,609.89; plant assets of 57,026,696.25; and operating assets of 5142.424.76. On June 30, 1940. the total funds in the endowment fund account were 55,984,82-.41, as shown in Exhibit "A" presented herewith. On June 30, 1939 the total funds were 55.654,951.44. The net increase for the year, therefore, in endowment funds was 5329.875.97. Two magnificent gifts received during the year contribute to make up this increase in endowment funds, namely the Jessica Anthony Sherman gift of 5192,623.41 and a gift of $100.01)0 from an anonymous benefactor to establish a professorship in American history. Both of these gifts are subject to annuities during the lifetime of the donors. Schedule "A-l" is an exhibit of the special purpose funds of the university, which, at June 30, 1940, totalled $4,095,047.43. These special purpose funds are a part of the general endowment of the university but they have been restricted as to use by their respective donors. The value of the plant assets on June 30, 1939 was $7,004,-737.65. The value of the plant assets on June 30, 1940 was $7,024,350.40. The increase during the year covered by this report, therefore, was $19,612.75. The total operating income for the year was $1,067,896.56; the total operating disbursements were 51.036,211.58. The year, therefore, closed with a credit balance of $31,684.98, which is 2.97 per cent of the total income for the year. Of this surplus the sum of $24,593.96 was appropriated by the committee on general administration to balance the budget for the fiscal year 1940-1941. The total operating income for the year exceeded the total operating income of the preceding year by $7.~02.63. while the total operating disbursements exceeded those of the preceding year by $9,652.12. The following is a comparative table of the operating account of the university for the fiscal years 1937-1938, 1938-1939, and 1939-1940: INCOME 19i~-38 1938-39 1939-40 Fees Received from Students S 815.981.88 $ 843.474.41 S 850.326.14 163,497.28 Income from Endowment 1"3.580.64 157,159-36 Dental Infirmary (Net> 10.M2.37 14,550.43 15,055.41 Gifts Received to Apply on Salaries 4.500.00 *>.3^0.00 8.000.00 1.690.00 2,130.00 Rental Property Income I."05.00 8,449.28 Miscellaneous 10.938.45 i 0,753.26 21,830.95 Appropriation of 1936-3"" Surplus Appropriation of 1937-38 Surplus 24.381.28 Appropriation of 1938-39 Surplus 21.634.47 $1,037,410.12 SI.060,193-93 Sl.067.89C>.56 Total IncomeEXPENSES Expenses of Administration *151,107.64 $ 149,002.99 $ 150.797.06 560,582.20 Salaries of Instruction M8.938.01 5"5.O38.06 Supplies Used in Instruction 25.978:15 21,567.53 26,86^.13 operation and Maintenance of 100.820.54 92,347.98 99,823.29 Buildings Operation and Maintenance of 28,441.41 Central Heating Plant 24,823-95 24,242.28 Upkeep and Improvement—Uni41,727.23 33,108.38 versity Campus 58,6-9-86 35,494.77 35,193-57 34,875.04 rhe University Library 10,608.58 9,117-36 10,377.14 departmental Libraries Bureau of Business and Social Re6,525.40 6,399.94 search 6,362.58 Departmenr of Physical Education 14,543.40 16,685.09 Hygiene 16.155-25 and 13,317.96 12,210.92 13,159-02 Fhe Registrar's Office Fixtures Scientific Equipment Furniture and Catalogs, Bulletins, Printing and Advertis ing Insurance Interest on Mortgages Payable....

Of the total expenses 55.5 per cent was for salaries of instruction; 62.4 per cent was for salaries of instruction, plus supplies used in instruction and operation and maintenance of libraries. United States, state and municipal government bonds, purchased by the university, yielded an average income of 3.71 per cent on the actual investment; foreign government bonds, 4.56 per cent; railroad bonds, 4.14 per cent; public utility bonds, 5.14 per cent; industrial bonds, 4.04 per cent; miscellaneous bonds, all gifts, 1.15 per cent; stocks, 4.35 per cent; real estate mortgages and mortgage certificates, .91 per cent. The average yield on all stocks and bonds purchased and owned by the universtiy, and excluding gifts, was 4.39 per cent for the year. On June 30, 1940 the stocks and bonds in the university portfolio which had been purchased by the university, and excluding gifts, were classified as follows on the basis of market worth: United States, state, municipal and foreign government bonds, 18.7 per cent; utility bonds, 12.9 per cent; railroad bonds, 8 per cent; industrial bonds, 4.4 per cent; utility preferred stocks, 152 per cent; industrial preferred stocks, 4.1 per cent; investment trust preferred stocks, 2.2 per cent; bank preferred stocks, 1.4 per cent; rail common stocks, .4 per cent; utility common stocks, 1.6 per cent; industrial common stocks, 17.2 per cent; bank capital stocks. 3.8 per cent; insurance common stocks, 6.3 per cent; and investment trust common stocks, 3-8 per cent. The list is well diversified and of very high quality. Gifts and bequests received during the year which ended June 30, 1940 included the following: Jessica Anthony Sherman fund, 5192.623.41; anonymous gift for the establishment of an American history professorship. $100,000; estate of James H. Borrell for the establishment of the James H. Borrell Urology fund, $5000; addition to the James H. McNulty Professorship fund, $5000; Mrs. George F. Rand, $5000; Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor, Inc., $3000; Adam, Meldrum and Anderson, 31000; Buffalo Union Furnace company. $1000; David T. Wende, $1000. Mrs. Sherman's munificent gift is companion to a bequest of approximately equal sum, made by her late husband. Dr. DeWitt H. Sherman, a distinguished member of the medical profession who for a full generation was one of the leading figures in the Medical School/Dr. Sherman died on Feb. 1, 1940. By their terms, the combined benefactions are ultimately to be used for the erection of a new building for the School of Medicine of the university, if such a new medical building has not been provided in Mrs. Sherman's lifetime. If such a building has been provided, the combined funds are to be held for the creation of '"The DeWitt Halsey Sherman and Jessica Anthony Sherman foundation" for the permanent endowment of teaching in the School of Medicine with special reference to pediatrics, in which subject Dr. Sherman was an outstanding pioneer. If no unforeseen adverse factors develop in the next nine months, the university will close the new academic year on June �6 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO University of Buffalo Exhibit "A"—Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1940 Endowment _ ___ Fund Assets: Bonds _ Public Utility Bonds Government Bonds Railroad Boods.

This can be said because registration for the year is now quite definitely known. The picture is not clear after next June 30th. Any factor which thereafter adversely affects student registration, such as the Selective Service Act, will at once create financial problems because approximately 80 per cent of the university's income is derived from student fees. To this contingency the attention of the Council and the attention of the friends of the university is directed. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE D. GROFTS, Comptroller.

It established the School of Nursing as a unit of the university co-ordinate with other professional schools. Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Theestablishment of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in 1939 gave a still further stimulus to graduate work in the university. The members of the faculty have addressed themselves to the tasks of adjusting the graduate offerings to the resources of the university and stimulating productive scholarship. I have called the Council's attention before to the fact that most graduate instruction is expensive. In its initial stages it can be carried on as a kind of by-product of undergraduate in- struction. As enrollments increase and course offerings multiply, however, the enterprise becomes a budgetary problem. Unless the university limits the enrollment of graduate students it will soon become such a problem here. The Needs of the University The needs of the university are various; are large and some are small. They some can all be subsumed under two heads; more endowment funds and more money for scholarships. If there were a substantial increase in general endowment, improvements and extensions of existing services would be possible. Salary levels could be raised; and this is the greatest need of all. Just as useful as additions to general endowment funds are special endowments for professorships. Such gifts provide for indispensable teaching personnel and relieve to that extent the drain on general university funds. The University of Buffalo is able to distribute to outstanding students who are suffering financial difficulties a much smaller sum annually than is at the disThe total posal of most universities. amount awarded in scholarships and loans during the year under review was 426,-324.47.

A. A. and Alumni Council Looms New Constitution Ready for Adoption When two businesses engaged in the same territory, manufacturing a similar product, employing the same sales appeal, maintaining separate but similar establishments and selling to a public that cannot decide which is the better merchandise but buys a little of each, they sometimes merge. Two central alumni organizations have existed side by side at Buffalo for the last six and a half years. The General Alumni association has had no membership since it ceased charging dues at the onset of the Threadbare Thirties, but its board of trustees has continued to meet, elect officers, plan and carry out alumni dinners. The Alumni council, founded in 1933, also has met frequently and carried on business under its by-laws. The association, without dues, has had no income. The Alumni council has had an annual subsidy from the university treasury. Realization has come gradually to leaders of the two groups that there is a similarity of objectives, an overlapping of functions. an identity of constituency (the whole alumni body) and some duplication of ef fort. Typical case was the Alumni Swim ming Pool campaign which the two bodies Bnally decided to sponsor jointly. First signs of a trend toward a mergei appeared in the General Alumni associatior in 1938, when the board of trustees agreed on a need for simplification and empowered President Jane C. O'Malley, DDS '23 to appoint a committee to study the problem and prepare a plan. To the committee chairmanship Dr O'Malley appointed Homer A. Trotter. PhG '09, MD '15; to its membership, seven representatives of the divisional associations All winter and spring the Trotter committee worked, finally presented a plan to the board. Its main feature: To merge the GAA board of trustees with the Alumni council. (See page 3). The trustees thought it simple, yet so bold they hesitated to proffer it to the Alumni council. In June, 1939, Francis D. Leopold, MD '14 was elected president and the board directed him to seek the cooperation of the Alumni council in simplify ing the alumni structure and establishing a program of general interest ate body. to the gradu- Meanwhile the Alumni council had had the problem under discussion. It had appointed a committee to meet with one from the GAA for the purpose of finding methods of stimulating alumni activity. This joint committee's recommendations did not get at the root of the matter. At the June meeting of the Alumni council. James E. King, MD '96 was elected council chairman. Shortly thereafter he appointed a committee on alumni study headed by Judge Victor B. Wylegala, LLB '19. By fall Judge Wylegala's committee had a plan. Its main feature: To merge the GAA board of trustees with the Alumni council. (Seepage 3). The Alumni council went a step beyond the GAA when it formally approved the plan in principle. Next it was laid before the divisional alumni presidents. They gave it their personal approval, and the next step was up to the GAA. That step came swiftly. Early in February- the GAA trustees met, took the Trotter plan from the table and gave it their approval. They then directed President Leopold to appoint a constitution committee to meet with a similar committee from the Alumni council. Next day Alumni Council Chairman King appointed his committee, and a few days later the new rules and regulations were being drawn up for submission at a joint meeting of the two main bodies, scheduled for University day, the 25th anniversary of the GAA's founding. The new constitution committee includes the following: From the GAA, Dr. Leopold, Richard W. Collard, BS (Bus) '35; Claire Marquardt, BA '31; Riley P. O'Brien, BS (Bus) '35; George E. Slotkin. MD "11; from the Alumni council, Judge Wylegala, Dr. King, Leon J. Gauchat, DDS '19; Dean A. Bertram Lemon, PhG '13; Thew Wright, MD '03. Alumni Secretary William G. Cook, BS '27 is committee secretary. Main difference between the two plans is in the name. The Trotter plan would call the new body the Alumni federation. The Wylegala plan would call it the General Alumni council. In these respects they agree: The new body should include representatives of the divisional alumni associations, the out-of-town clubs and the University council. It should sponsor general alumni programs, publish a monthly bulletin, supervise the Alumni office, encourage the work of the constituent alumni groups. It should be financed by the university, out of the income from an annual Alumni Loyalty fund. Neither plan would interfere with the autonomy of the divisional alumni associations and the Alumni Club, Inc. These would still carry on their own programs and maintain such system of dues or other methods of financing as are now in force. Final approval of the new plan must still be sought from the University council, from which both the present bodies derive their authority. TO GO WEST Dr. Fritz Machlup, professor of economics, has been invited to serve as visiting professor of economics at Stanford university in California, next summer. This will be the fifth university Dr. Machlup has served in that capacity. The others were Harvard, Cornell, Northwestern and the University of California in Berkeley.

Dr. Trotter Says PRESENT CONFUSION .. . What are the faults of the present system? They may be summarized as follows: 1. Confusion. Very few alumni understand the present system, and where there is no understanding there is no interest. The individual knows what his divisional association stands for. since it is formed along natural lines. But from that point on it is too much for him to figure out. He hears of a General Alumni association, an Alumni council, an Alumni Club, Inc. "Which is the official body?" he asks. "What should I as an alumni worker, give my support to?" And he knows no answer. 2. Morale. An effective alumni pro- begets pride in its supporters. It knits them together as a body, and delivers ever increasing loyalty to the object of their gram affection—their Alma Mater. Will not the alumni have greater respect for an alumni organization which holds public gatherings, represents the alumni viewpoint at court, whose leaders and supporters understand it and their part in it? 3. Finances. No doubt the General Alumni association could undertake an in- teresting and effective program if it had adequate financing. But to attempt to collect dues again would be to return to the old evil of double billing, and with the Alumni Cub, Inc., now charging separate dues, each alumnus would be subject to three appeals a year. 4. General. In brief, there are probably too many alumni organizations now, overlapping each other to some extent, and often approaching the point of rivalry. The General Alumni association is an associa- tion in name only. It really consists of a board of trustees and nothing more. If the system could be simplified, alumni interest would be easier to capture. If the alumni in general could be brought into closer participation with the management of the alumni fund, alumni office and alumni publication, even though the university retained partial control, alumni morale woud be easier to build. If finances could be centralized, the potential income would be greater, the program could be enlarged, and all participating organizations, including the university, would benefit. Judge Wylegala Says . . . The average alumnus is so confused about it that he has now confined his support to the one or two things he can understand: His divisional association which gives him a program of professional interest and benefit, and the Alumni Club, Inc., which offers him a social program. He usually does now know the difference between the General Alumni association and the Alumni council; he is confused about their officers, mechanical operation and objectives; he does not have a sensation of being part of one big family of graduates doing something important for their Alma Mater. The faults of the present system may be summed up as follows: A. Lack of income for the General Alumni association, whose trustees realize that there is little hope of returning to a dues system, and have as yet not found any other method of financing their activities. B. Lack of interest in the General Alumni association, because of its inability to conduct a program. C. Lack of co-ordination. D. Lack of understanding, which breeds dissatisfaction with the whole machinery. E. Lack of morale because of the feeling of separation from the university, of unimportance to it and of inability to be a part of its operation. F. Lack of loyalty as a natural consequence of the above causes. What has this or any university the right to expect of an alumnus? If we may judge by other institutions, that expectation has four aspects: 1. He shall be successful in his chosen field, and a good citizen. He reflects credit on his Alma Mater by his own achievements. 2. He shall be interested in his uni- versity. He shall understand its aims and methods, support its policies and defend its good name. 3. He sha'l serve it in such ways as he can, as by encouraging good students to attend, or by activity on its committees, volunteer faculties or governing body. 4. He shall, as his means permit, give material support. The alumni do not get that way by accident. There must be a plan which makes them that way. The University of Buffalo does its best to see that each graduate qualifies on Point No. 1, and through its publicity media it does something on Point No. 2. But more must be done to instill feelings of gratitude, respect, loyalty and enthusiasm before the third and fourth aspects shall be developed satisfactorily. A re-organization of the alumni structure is indicated. �3 ALUMNI COUNCIL BULLETIN . . The Proposed New Organization PROPOSED SOLUTION The Wylegala Plan It is recommended that the board of trusthe General Alumni association and the Alumni council be merged into one central body. For purposes of discussion we shall call it here the General Alumni council. The General Alumni council would be made up as follows: Delegates from the eight divisional alumni associations Delegates from the district clubs Alumni delegates chosen by the University council from its own memtees of bership The General Alumni council would elect its own officers and name its committees. The objects would be: 1. To encourage and assist the alumni associations and clubs. 2. To provide for active participation of the individual alumnus in the advisory and management aspects of the university. 3. To provide avenues for material assistance to the university. Included among the activities of the General Alumni council, to be carried on by committees in co-operation with various university officers, would be: 1. Stimulation of interest in elections to the University council. 2. Student relations. 3. Preservation of traditions. 4. Vocational advisory services. 5. Preparatory school relations (student Presentation of alumni achievement awards. 9. Commencementreunions. 10.

Gauchat, DDS '19 Lemon, A. Bertram PhG '13 Thew Wright, MD '03 The Trotter Plan We recommend that the present Alumni council and the present General Alumni association be merged to form a central agency to be known as the Alumni federation. This body would thus include the alumni members of the University council, and the chosen representatives of the various divisional associations. We also recommend that each branch (out-of-town) club be allowed to add one representative for each 100 members. Thus the central agency would be truly representative of all interested groups and in its own name could conduct programs social or philanthropic. Since it would operate the Alumni fund, thus contributing to the university's income, it could justly call upon the Alumni office for services in recruiting). carrying out its program, and its publication could be expanded in size and be more 6.

In his will Benefactor Sherman directed that the money should be "expended for erection of a new medical school building" to be known as DeWitt Sherman hall. The money will not be available at once, since the estate was left in trust for his widow. Mrs. Jessica Anthony Sherman. After her death a new trust will be set up under which the new building will be erected. Many observers estimated that 5225,000 would not be sufficient to put up a first class Medical school building. But within a few days after Dr. Shermans will was admitted to probate. Mrs. Sherman announced that she had made a gift to the . university of 5200.000 to be used for the purpose. Her deed of gift coincides with her husband's will in specifying that, if in the meantime, such a building shall have been erected, then the entire amount shall be used as a foundation for medical teaching. same Two Europeans Arrive Two Europeans fresh from the war zone will spend the next few months on the university campus.

Sears,eminent jurist for 24 years, who retired Dec. 31 as associate judge of of the New York Court of Appeals. The award of the medal highlighted mid-year commencement and alumni activities on Feb. 22. Over the airwaves went the words as the commencement exercises were broadcast this year for the first time through the courtesy of WEBR which ran a special line to the campus and of ASCAP, whose special permission was necessary for the inclusion of several musical selections on the program. A native of Brooklyn, Judge Sears, was graduated from the Adelphi academy there and Yale university. He studied at the University of Berlin and took his LLB degree at Harvard in 1896.

The medal was accepted for Judge Sears, who was unable to be present, by his brother-in-law,Lester F. Gilbert. Only Honorary Award The Chancellor'sMedal was provided for in the will of the late ChancellorCharles P. Norton, head of the university from 1905 to 1920, and was given for the 14th time this year. It is intended "to personify civic patriotism and to vivify public service in the eyes of the citizens of Buffalo."' The donor definedpublic service in the broadest of terms to include meritorious achievement in science, letters and the arts, as well as politics and civic affairs. "It is evident that his primary intent, however,"ChancellorCapen said in making the award,"was to empower the university to single out for public commendation those who had conspicuously served the body politic in enterprises which affected its corporate life." ■'Accordingly." he continued, "the council has most frequently awarded the medal to persons who have contributed notably to the improvement of the social facilities of the community. It does so once more this year." Thus Judge Searsjoined the companyof distinguished citizens upon whom the university has bestowed its only honorary award. A few days later he was named by Attorney GeneralRobert H. Jackson to preside at the deportation hearing for Harry R. Bridges, West CoastC L O. leader, was toastmaster.

APRIL, 1941 No. 3 U. B. Offers Secretarial Training Courses For Women Aimed To Meet Demand The College of Arts and Sciences has announced a new programfor the training of women in the secretarial profession. In setting up the secretarial training program the University of Buffalo is endeavoring to fill the needs of an increasing percentage of young people whose destiny is not in the professions, research or scholarship, but in business or public service. Dean Julian Park explained. The dean pointed out that as manyas 70 per cent of all young people desire to enter the professional and semi-professional fields, but only about 15 per cent can be thus absorbed,while, on the other hand,the demand for competent secretarial work is constantly increasing, both in the commercial world and in civil service. The secretarial program is arranged on leading to the a two or four-year schedule, bachelor's degree for four years' study or the certificatein arts and sciences for two years' study. The program.Dean Park declared,is designed to meet the needs of three general groups:candidates for the BA degree desiring to supplement their general academic education with secretarial training in order to equip themselves for business or other public careers; high school graduates who can afford to take only two years of college, combining some academic work with their secretarial courses; high school graduates who wish to use secretarial training in subsequent employment to financetheir last two years of college. "Colleges," stated the dean, "have failed to provide vocational training for valuable types of service employing hundreds of thousands—vocations for which more than a high school education is desirable and yet which do not require in all cases a standardized four-year college preparation. "If. we are to continue our democratic philosophy of education and provide educational opportunityfor all youth at all levels, the program of higher education must include the needs of an increasing percentage of those whose destiny is not in one of the professions nor yet in a career of research or scholarship, but in business or public service. "The Personnel officeof the University of Buffalo has been able to place practically any college graduate who has had training in shorthand and typing. This is not surprising since a college education assures the employer, in most cases, of a correct use of the English language, an intelligent attack on the problems of his business,and originality, adaptibility. and initiative. "Employment bureaus report that too many college graduates, though personable and interesting, have nothing definitethat they can do. Secretarially trained college women get promotions more quickly than others; furthermore, college training frequently allows them to advance to office managerships, supervisory positions, and responsible executive posts. "For example, girls who have had, in addition to stenography, proper training in medical or scientificterminology, can find interesting positions. A working knowledge of a foreign language, particularly Spanish, is sometimes called for by firms doing some exporting. Someknowledge of chemistry, French DC German,together with shorthand and typing, and certain courses in bibliography, form a combination which leads to librarianships in chemical industries." Classes Move Up May 3rd The senior class is in the throes of final preparation for a last round of activity before comprehensives and commencement. The traditional senior week begins Monday, April 28 with Rose Day. On Tuesday the seniors in cap and gownand the faculty in academic robes will procede from Crosby hall to Edmund Hayes where the planting of the ivy, symbol of devotion, is to take place.

'35, EdM '39, director. The school nursing program has been approved by the State Education Department and the one-year course in physical therapy by the Council tm Hospitals and Medical Education of the American Medical Association. The school nursing program is a oneyear course of classwork and field experience. It was started three years ago for registered nurses desirous of becoming school nurses. Before the program was endorsed it was necessary for each individual to obtain the State Education Department's approval before starting the course. Now, however, when the course is completed the individual merely files application with the Education Department and automatically receives a certificate. Mrs. Sengbusch said that there is tremendous demand for school nurses. In the course they receive class instruction in public health nursing, family case work, educational principles and psychology, mental hygiene and nutrition. The field work is taken at the Visiting Nursing Association in Buffalo, the Cattaraugus County Health Department in Olean and Kenmore High Schools. The one-year course in physical therapy leads to a certificate. It is open to registered nurses, graduates of approved schools of physical education and other students with a minimum of two years of college study. The course includes both classwork and field experience. The nursing school's three-year course in that is. with physical physical therapy has been approved therapy as a major for three years. Both the school of nursing and the oneyear physical therapy courses will be available in the forthcoming Summer Session as well as in the regular year. —— sion have high votes, the person with a lesser number of votes will be dropped from the list, and the nexr in line from some other division will be moved up. There will be three intra-school contests represented this year. In Arts, Law and Medicine there will be two-cornered races. Business and Dentistry have only one nominee. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Scholarships Created The Lorin James Woodruff Scholarships have been established from the $50,000 bequest of Mrs. Amelia S. Woodruff to the university to assist undergraduate students in the College of Arts and Sciences who rate high in scholastic attainment, character and qualities of leadership, to finance their education. Creation of the scholarships was announced by Comptroller George D. Crofts after the bequest, in cash and securities, was transferred to the university by Wells W. Parker. LLB '96. of East Aurora, attorney for the executrix of her estate. The. fund, creating and permanently endowing the scholarships in the name of Mrs. Woodruff's husband, becomes immediately available and through it five scholarships will be awarded to Arts College undergraduates beginning next fall. Each scholarship will be equivalent in amount to the entire year's tuition fee. Provision is made that the University's Committee on Scholarships and Loans, in its discretion, may re-award the scholarships annually to the holders if they maintain a satisfactory scholastic standing. It is within the committee's authority to award these scholarships annually to any holder throughout his or her entire undergraduate course. The scholarships will be open to any undergraduates freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. Amelia S. Woodruff was a native of the town of Eden and her grandfather. Dr. William Pratt, was the first physician to locate in Eden. A graduate of the old Buffalo State Normal School, she taught at one time in Springville Academy and subsequently in lowa and Nebraska, there meeting her husband. Lorin James Woodruff.

New EdB in Physical Ed Undergraduate preparation for teachers of physical education in elementary and secondary schools is now to be offered to students by the School of Education. Previously, only students with undergraduate preparation at other institutions could receive graduate instruction in physical education, leading to the degree of master of education, at the University of Buffalo. With the new Clark Memorial Gymnasium it is now possible for the University to add complete preparation for teachers of health, physical education, recreation and occupational and physical therapy to its schedule. The physical therapy program, in which the Schools of Education and Nursing cooperate, already has been approved by the Council of Hospital and Medical Education of the American Medical Association. Included in the new program are the specific minimum courses required for state certification, details of which will be developed in consultation with state educational authorities. The four-year minimum program will lead to the degree of bachelor of education in physical education. In the specializations requiring five years of preparation including teaching sciences in secondary schools, recreation, occupational and physical therapy, and the administration and supervision of health, physical education and recreation in schools and school systems, the programs will lead to the degree of master of education. The School of Education staff will be enlarged at once by the appointment of professional workers as consultants, thus assuring a close relationship between the program and the practical problems of teaching in the field. Provision also has been made for full-time additions to the staff for courses beginning next year and as advance courses need to be offered, and for an advisory committee to assist in the development of the program. Except in physical therapy, the program now is open only to freshmen. In physical therapy, students with their undergraduate preparation for physical education will be accepted for the one-year certificate course. "With the increased attention to health as a vital element in the defense program, the enlargement of the University's services in this field is in keeping with its policy of meeting community needs," Dean L. O. Cummings of the School of Education asserted. — GOLD AWARDS FOR SERVICE Gold keys for 50 years or more in the practice of medicine were awarded to Alice Ross Bennett, MD '90. and Jeanette P. Himmelsbach, MD '90, at the 35th annual meeting of the Women's Medical Society of New York State. �ALUMNI BULLETIN 3 Divisional News PHARMACY Buffalo and Western New York pharmacists met in Foster Hall for the fourth annual Spring Clinic morning session the Cup was presented to Joseph B. Sarnowski, PhG '21, for winning the National Pharmacy Week professional window After attending clinical meetings during the day, the MULLOY'IB alumni gathered in Norton Hall for a banquet at seven o'clock in honor of Eli H. Long, MD "82, 59 years an alumnus and 57 years a teacher at the Main speaker of the evening was Hugh C. Muldoon, Dean of Pharmacy at Duquesne University, whose address "Pharmacists Must Fight" was not directed toward the present national and international situation, but toward the crusade that pharmacists must carry on to drive out the undesirables who exploit pharmacy and bring discredit to the profession. In charge of Pharmacy alumni affairs for the next year will be Charles F. Mulloy, '18, president; Clinton E. Van Slyke, '25, vicepresident; and Janet H. Bowen, '21, reelected secretary-treasurer. CAPEN'S DEFENSE STATEMENT URGES MEN TO CONTINUE STUDY In a recent letter to all men students Chancellor Capen advised them of such information as the officers of the University have concerning the relation of university students to the draft. The United States is in need of trained specialists the message stated, and continued, "I cannot too strongly urge you to continue your studies if you can possibly do so. I say this to you not for the sake of the University and not to spare you as individuals the temporary interruption of the careers you have laid out for yourselves. I say it in the interest of the national welfare. You can perform no more patriotic service than to continue to prepare yourselves for your respective specialties, until you are actually called to join the armed forces." Dr. Capen advised each student, when he receives his questionnaire from his local board, to obtain two copies of a form from his dean to be used to inform the board of his academic status and vocational objectives. One copy of the form is to be sent to the local board, the other to the Trichina Test Devised Fellowships Awarded A new test for the specific diagnosing of trichinosis from the blood has been developed by Dr. Ernest Witebsky, associate professor of bacteriology and serology at the Medical School and bacteriologist at the General Hospital. The new method, developed in collaboration with Philip B. Wels, BA '37, MA '39, senior student, and Miss Anne Heide, technician, is a test tube technique, similar to the Wasserman test for syphilis. Trichinosis, a disease resulting from the into the taking of trichina a worm body through poorly cooked meat, especially pork, heretofore has been particularly difficult to diagnose. It has been necessary to remove a piece of to use biopsy muscle from the patient and put it under a microscope, there to look for the worms (trichina larvae). A skin test also has been used. The new test is very specific and brings no false positive results. Known as a complement-fixation test, it involves the taking of 5-to-10 cubic centimeters of blood from the patient. This is permitted to coagulate. The serum then is mixed with an extract of trichina larvae. The reaction within a few hours determines whether trichinosis is present. The trichina larvae extract is prepared from infested rats. The test is significant in view of the fact that, according to record, 20 per cent of the population one of every five persons is infected with trichinosis. The clinical symptoms are not always manifested and many people are unaware of having the disease, a factor which makes it especially difficult to diagnose. Post-mortems indicate its prevalence. Award of the university's first two fellowships in its 95-year history was announced by Chancellor Samuel P. Capen. Harry M. Norton, a graduate assistant in the university's chemistry department, and Frank W. Tober, a teaching fellow at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Blacksburg, Va., are the recipients. The graduate fellowships in chemistry are a gift of the Buffalo Electro-Chemical Co., Inc. Each holder will receive $1000 to enable him to devote all his time for the next academic year, beginning in September, to research work for the doctor of phi- — — — — — dean, following which the university will make out an affidavit, including a statement on the student's academic record and the recommendation of the university's officers concerning his deferment, and will send the affidavit directly to the local board. losophy degree. The fellowships will free their recipients from teaching duties so that they may engage entirely in research. They are designed to increase the output of research work in the university's chemical laboratories and to bring additional well-qualified chemical graduates into the university and the Niagara Frontier. Five Chemists Placed Three graduate assistants and two undergraduates in the Department of Chemistry have received notice of appointments for next year. John Beiswanger, candidate for the doctor of philosophy degree has accepted a post-doctoral research fellowship at Northwestern university, and James T. Eberl, who will also receive his PhD, is going to the University of Delaware as instructor in chemistry. Gerhart R. Hennig, master's candidate, is the recipient of a graduate assistantship in chemistry at Columbia. John F. Pudvin and Russell R. Williams, Jr.. who will receive their BA degrees this June, will serve as graduate assistants in chemistry at the University of Buffalo and Stanford university, Calif., respectively. �UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 4 THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO ALUMNI BULLETIN Published monthly except July, August and September, by the University of Buffalo at 3435 Main Street.

On Baccalaureate Sunday. June 8, Chancellor Capen addressed the Class of 1941 and told them that: "America requires more than willing defenders. Ninetenths of its citizens are always such. It requires also many informed defenders; the interpreters of its achievements and its purposes. This is the special service to which you are summoned, you and all other men and women who have received our country's finest gift to its children, an advanced education." The Chancellor pointed out that free men and women "thrive best when they are asked to live beyond themselves, when ihe challenge of their environment is s'o "urgent that their second wind must be tapped in order to cope with it." "Destiny," he concluded, "has decreed that we Americans shall once more be tested; that we shall once more have to prove that the strength which was in our fathers to endure and to perform prodigies in a cause held sacred is in us, too. It is for us to meet the test with a high heart." Wednesday, June 11, the candidates for degrees, followed by the faculty and council assembled on the walks of the Kleinhans Music hall to form the colorful parade which is the University's biggest annual spectacle. They stood with bowed heads in the impressive modern auditorium while the Reverend Chester T. R. Yeates pronounced the invocation; they sang "America," then relaxed in their seats to hear Chancellor Capen introduce the youngest justice on the New York State Court of Appeals, Charles S. Desmond, LL B '20, the first alumnus to address a University Commencement. Justice Desmond emphasized that "peace needs the kind of planning that war gets," and that the youth of America must be told now that, if it fights, it will fight not only against Hitlerism, but for a peace "good and lasting," a peace "based on truth, fraternal solidarity, social justice and moral sincerity." He went on to say that "this time we fight—if fight we do—let us take the road to war more sure and more clearly assured of what the peace will be and what it is we fight for. "You are Americans. Be alert and ready for whatever call comes to you from the country which has been so good to all of us. Don't be afraid to speak your mind in the national debate, but when the decision comes, accept it patriotically as have the men and women of this university all down the years." Amid applause Dr. Capen then presented the following diplomas and certificates: doctor of medicine, 66; commission of first lieutenant, Medical Officers Reserve Corps, 12, bachelor of science in nursing, two; bachelor of science in pharmacy, 16; master of science in pharmacy, one; bachelor of laws, 32; doctor of dental surgery, 39; certificate in engineering, one; bachelor of fine arts, one; bachelor of arts, 72; bachelor of library science, 17; master of arts, 16; doctor of philosophy, two, both in chemistry; diploma in business administration, two; certificate in business administration, two; bachelor of science (in the School of Business Administration), 40; certificate in teaching the deaf, 11; bachelor of education, 17; master of education, 20; graduate certificate in social work, 29; master of social service, eight. Then the new alumni sang the University of Buffalo "Chorale" (words and music by Philip Becker Goetz), heard the benediction and filed from the auditorium to take their places as educated men and women in a changing world. The University's 95th year was officially closed and the final quinquenniad prior to the 100th anniversary was entered." Councillors Re-elected At the annual meeting of the council the Friday before Commencement it was announced that Leon J. Gauchat, DDS '19, assistant professor in the School of Dentistry, Nelson G. Russell, MD '95, emeritus professor of medicine, and Albert P. Sy, PhD '08, professor of chemistry, were reelected to represent the alumni for the next four years. Dana B. Hellings, LLB '08, was elected by council members to succeed Mrs. Stephen M. Clement, who retired after 20 years of service to the University. With tbe addition of Mr. Hellings, there are now 18 alumni serving on the council. The remaining five incumbents were named to succeed themselves for four-year terms. They are: William C. Baird, Thomas B. Lockwood, Law '96, James McCormick Mitchell, LLB '97, Jacob F. Schoellkoepf, Jr., Victor B. Wylegala, LLB *19.

The program in industrial technology, embracing combined training in engineering, science and business, will lead to a bachelor of science degree in industrial technology. A special two-year program with specialization in engineering will lead to a certificate in arts and sciences. The industrial technology program will be directed by Herbert P. Fullerton, assistant professor of engineering. Devised primarily to meet the increased demand for trained industrial technologists resulting from the national defense program, the curriculum will embrace four years of study in courses ranging from the technical to the economic, from themodynamics and hydraulics to corporation law and business cycles. "The University feels that a program of this type will appeal to many students who desire combined training in engineering and science on the one hand, and business problems and practices on the other, as preparation for a career in industry," Mr. Fullerton stated. The program was worked out by a special faculty committee which conferred with a number of prominent local industrialists, including Earl T. Pughe, local manager of the Chevrolet Motors Corp.; Ralph H. Peo, vice president—general manager of the Houde Engineering Corp.; Edwin J. Schwanhausser, vice president of the Worthington Pump & Machinery Corp.; and Burton K. Witherspoon, president of the Spencer Lens Co. The faculty committee was headed by Dr. Harry M. Gehman, acting chairman of the engineering department. A requirement of the program will be that students acquire practical experience by working for a period in approved jobs in industry. The program is intended primarily for full-time day students, but it can be completed also by Millard Fillmore College students in the evening, and by those in the Work-Study Plan. The two year program, leading to the certificate in arts and sciences, will provide basic training for students desirous of enThe tering the engineering profession. courses included are recognized by the University of Michigan and other engineering schools. Dr. Gehman disclosed receipt of the following statement from Michigan: "The program of the first two years in engineering at the University of Buffalo closely parallels that of the University of Michigan and it is possible for a student who completes the two-year program at the University of Buffalo to transfer to the University of Michigan without loss of credit. Each student, of course, must meet the high school admission requirements of the University of Michigan and maintain a satisfactory scholastic record in the courses taken at the University of Buffalo in order to effect the transfer."

Homecoming Day has been set at the half way mark, October 18, Buffalo vs Washington and Jefferson, and it is the day when all alumni are invited to return to the campus to see a team that really is a credit to all those men and women who have been behind Jim Peelle. Carleton P. Vernier, PhG '33, is chairman of the committee in charge of homecoming, and his assistants are: Harold M. Baumler, LLB '26; Walter S. Behrens, DDS '30; Eugene M. Downey, LLB '31, in charge of tickets; Dorothy H. Gillespie. BA "27; Clayton Merlihan, PhG '26, in charge of window advertising; Arnott A. Moore, DDS '15; Marshall K. Stoll, BS (Ed) '36, publicity director; Emily H. Webster, BA '23; Ethel I. Woodward, PhG '11; and James E. King, MD '96, president of the General Alumni board, ex-officio. The committee has planned a special program for the day at a reduced rate, similar to the one inaugurated last year. The entire ticket costs but $1.50 and includes the game and a special buffet supper at the Buffalo Athletic Club at 5 o'clock. Coach Peelle Mgr. Nevals Nicosia This year, for the first time, ticket depots have been established in different sections of the city so that you may obtain your tickets easily and conveniently. You may buy your tickets at any of the following locations: Alumni Office; Treasurer's Office, 25 Niagara Square; Dental School Office; Medical School Office; Smither and Thurstone Drug Co., Bryant and Elmwood; Parsons and Judd, Seneca and Cazenovia; Mearl D.

Checks sent to the Alumni office in payment for tickets, should be made out to the Alumni Activities Committee. With a squad of 30, Coach Jim Peelle, never one to be overconfident, shows a bit of optimism this year. The complete squad and coaching staff spent the second two weeks of September in the pre-season football camp at Pt. Abino, Ontario. This camp is sponsored by William C. Baird. In their opening game the Buffalo team showed up well on offense, with Art Woelfle of Dunkirk, and Vic Mancewciz bearing the brunt of the ball carrying. It was the defensive strength of the team, however, that opened the eyes of the spectators. The team from Pennsylvania wasn't able to make a first down until the fourth quarter, and it was then that Peelle was putting in the substitutes. The forward wall with game captain Sid Snyder, Nick Kish of North Tonawanda, Nick Yacobucci of Blasdell, Dom Grossi of Lockport, and Harold Rambath gave the spectators much to talk about. They are a few of the boys to watch, and were instrumental in running up a total of 18 first downs to Susquehanna's three. Asst. Coach Febel Kelsey H. Johnson Ebsary Moran Dr. Kopec Yacobucci Grossi �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Senior Memorial Fund Enters 6th Year Names of the 152 June graduates who joined the Senior Memorial Pledge have been announced by Morey C Bartholomew, LLB 09, vice president and chairman of the committee on alumni funds of the General Alumni board. For the first time in the six year history of the fund, the 1941 class has not restricted its gift. The entire amount will be given for unrestricted endowment. Prior to this time several of the divisions have ear-marked their gift for their particular college. The original plan called for an annual gift of Si for the five years after graduation. In three instances seniors have pledged to contribute more than this amount and have been very prompt in the payments. When the cards for the 1941 class were checked the committee found that four seniors had pledged to pay $2 a year and six had pledged to pay $5 a year. This sets an all time high.

Nurse Program Enlarged In an effort to meet specific nursing needs brought to the forefront directly and indirectly by the national defense program, the School of Nursing this year will place special emphasis on three newly accredited courses public health nursing, physical therapy and school nursing. The public health nursing program has just been approved by the National Organization for Public Health Nursing, the accrediting agency for the United States. Buffalo is the 27th school to receive such approval. It is offering both a full program leading to a bachelor of science degree and a one-year course leading to a certificate. Courses of study are also offered in orthopedic nursing. The physical therapy and schol nursing programs were approved in the spring. Anne Walker Sengbusch, BS (Nrs) '35, EdM '39, director, announced that the school is cooperating with the National Research Council in a nation wide plan to extend physical therapy courses and thus provide expert technicians needed in government hospitals, the army and navy, Veterans' Administration and other hospitals and clinics. A recent survey shows an immediate shortage of 500 trained workers and a probable shortage of 1200 for the next two years in this field. Expansion in these courses is aimed to offer graduate nurses of this area opportunity to specialize. This enlargement of offerings in no way interferes with the regular program for the training of nurses. — CARNEGIE INSTITUTE CALLS HECTOR Dr. L.

Kelly, LLB '20, had been chosen as Mayor of his native Buffalo, thus verifying a statement made in 1920, when the following was inscribed beside his picture in the yearbook: "Reports have it that the eyes of City Hall and the Mayor's chair." Kis KELLY '20 classmates had elected him as senior class president, hence the reference to "pilot." Before entering Law School. Judge Kellyhad attended Lafayette High School, had been graduated from St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute and had spent a year at Manhattan College. Mayor-elect Kelly's predilection for politics is natural enough when it is recalled that his father, James W. Kelly, spent his last 40 years as a political leader of the West Side where the family established itself almost a century ago in 1842. Although he never held party office. Judge Kelly's activity in party affairs resulted in his appointment as chief of the trial staff in the district attorney's office in 1931. Two years later, he was elected for a 10-year term as an Associate Judge of the City Court where he discharged his duties wisely and well. As a result of a countrywide investigation he made, the Cafeteria Traffic Court was established. It proved so satisfactory that it has become the model after which many like courts have been patterned. An investigation showed that while Mayor-elect Kelly is the 47th person to be chosen for this office, he is only the third Buffalo graduate to be so distinguished. The other two are Conrad Diehl, Jr., MD '66, and George S. Buck, LLB '98, who held office from 1898-1901 and from 1918-21 respectively. Dr. Diehl was born in Buffalo in 1843 and, according to local records, outlived every member of his class by attaining the age of 75. Beginning his practice in Buffalo in 1868, he was an attending physician at the Erie County Hospital, a member of the staff of the General Hospital for 40 years and secretary of its board for 25 consecutive years, and in later life was on the staff of the German Deaconess Hospital. As mayor, he helped to revive an earlier plan for the Pan-American Exposition and invited many important guests to visit and take part in the proceedings which were held shortly after the conclusion of the Spanish War. George S. Buck was born in Chicago on February 10, 1875. After graduation from old Central High School, he obtained his BA degree at Yale in '96 and then returned to Buffalo for his law degree. He was elected to the Erie County Board of Supervisors in '03 and became chairman of the finance committee in '08. As mayor, he was faced with a threatened street car strike—a serious prospect because of the war munitions manufacture which would have been paralyzed. A peaceful settlement was negotiated after he traveled to Washington to obtain the assistance of an adjustor of labor problems. Later, the problems of rehabilitating demobilized men and of settling further labor difficulties occupied him. Upon his retirement as mayor, he became a director of the Buffalo City Planning Association, and in 1927, its managing director. Many other alumni were also successful in the recent November elections. Judge Christy J. Buscaglia, LLB '30, who had been appointed to the City Court in December, 1939, was returned to the position of Associate Judge as was also Judge Charles T. Yeager, LLB '25. who had been elected to this office in 1938. Among the City Councilmen chosen at this time were Willis G. Hickman, LLB '14, representing the Delaware District, and Ralph A. Lehr, LLB '24, from the North District. Bernard J. Dowd, PhG '20, and Walter L. M. Gibbs, LLB '30, were re-elected to the Erie County Board of Supervisors from the 22nd and 24th wards, respectively. The following three Supervisors were re-elected by their respective townships: Leslie F. Robinson, LLB '14, Aurora; Dudley A. Gaylord, LLB '18, North Collins; and Melvin L. Bong, LLB '27, Orchard Park. By going farther afield in the elections, No. 7 County Doctors Feted On November 13, the Medical Society of Erie County held its Fall Clinical Day and Fifty Year Dinner honoring its members who have practiced fifty years or more. At the clinical sessions in the afternoon, the following three prominent physicians spoke to the group: Dr. Jonathan C. Meakins, professor of medicine, McGill University; Dr. Jennings C. Litzenberg, professor emeritus of obstetrics and gynecology, University of Minnesota; and Charles Gordon Heyd, MD '09, clinical professor of surgery at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and a past president of the American Medical Associatior Among the physicians feted at the dinner were many alumni of Buffalo's Medical School, including two women of the class of 1890, Alice Ross Bennett and Jeanette Potter Himmelsbach. The other alumni in this group were: A. L. Benedict, '88; Mark N. Brooks, '84; Erwin W. Buffum, '91; Albert J. Colton, '90; J. Henry Dowd, '90; Sydney A. Dunham, '88; Thomas F. Dwyer, '85; Albert F. Erb, '90; John J. Finerty, '88; Edgar A. Forsyth, '89; Lawrence G. Hanley, '87; George A. Himmelsbach, '91; William A. Hoddick, '86; John D. Howland, '91; Allen Jones, '89; Benjamin G.

Sweetland, '78; Frank B. Voght, '89; William F. Wells, '83; and J. F. Whitwell, '90. it was discovered that Philip Weiss, LLB '34, was re-elected Gty Judge of Batavia. The new City Attorney of Batavia is Wallace J. Stakel, LLB '33. Peter J. DiNatale, MD '24, was re-elected a coroner of Genesee County. In Dunkirk, Raymond J. Bartkowiak, LLB '33, upset a 20-year office holder to become City Judge. Joseph S. Montesano, LLB '33, won an uncontested victory as Justice of Mount Morris. Olean voters ran Vernon G. Breder, LLB '31, without opposition for Justice of the Peace, John K. Gerken, LLB '22, was selected as a councilman in the township of Tonawanda. Frederick E. McCarty, MD '15, was returned by a landslide vote to office as supervisor from Wellsville on the Allegany Board. In Westfield, the re-election of Samuel F. Nixon, LLB '12, as a school director was unopposed. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Alumni Relatives Become Freshmen Sixty-six of the students who entered the various divisions of the University this fall are grandchildren, children, brothers or sisters of Buffalo alumni. The largest enrollments of these students are in the Arts college where 21 registered, and in the schools of Medicine and Dentistry, each of which claims 12. Nineteen sons and one daughter enrolled in the professional schools plan to follow in the footsteps of their fathers. Of these, Carrol J. Shaver plans to enter the profession chosen by both parents, Grace Joslin Shaver, MD '15, and Ralla E. Shaver, MD '15 (deceased). Darwin C. Farber who entered the Arts college this fall is the sixth of his immediate family to attend the University. One brother, Sidney. BS. took his degree in 1923; a sister. Evelyn Farber Morgan, BA, and another brother, Seymour M., BS, received their degrees in 1931; and in 1933, Jason E.. MD, another brother, was awarded his degree. Still a fourth brother, Professor Marvin Farber, attended the University for a time but received his degrees elsewhere and is now back on the campus as head of the department of philosophy. The other student in the picture is William John T. Farber, Darwin C. Associate Judge of the City Court. His two brothers, John K., '33, and Paul J., '40, are also graduates of the Law division, so that he is the fourth member of his immediate family to prepare for the legal profession. The list below does not include 68 cousins, 49 uncles, 5 aunts, 1 sister-in-law, 1 great-uncle and 1 great-aunt of these and 58 other entering students. There may be other omissions caused perhaps by the failure of students to fill out the necessary forms. Relative Student Crissey, W. J. KEELER and D. C. FARBER J. Keeler of Law School. His father.

Lester "Deceased Pharmacy Week Noted The School of Pharmacy actively observed National Pharmacy week, October 19-25, by sponsoring student window displays, a series of radio programs and finally, a banquet followed by a special program. As a climax to the activities came the announcement of the creation of several scholarships from the loan fund established under the will of William C. Dambach. The accumulation of a surplus in this fund and a decrease in the number of requests led to the decision to grant scholarships to students whose scholastic records are high, who have engaged in extra-curricular activities and who have displayed qualities of leadership. These scholarships may pay a total of $800—$200 a year for four years—if a satisfactory standard of work is maintained. The announcement which was made on October 24, the day of the banquet, was particularly timely since superior students from the local academic high schools had been invited to the dinner as guests of faculty members.

PhG '33, chairman, to make the day a noteworthy one in the year's calendar of activities. Starting from the Touraine Hotel, headquarters of the Washington and Jefferson team, some of the more hardy and spirited students and alumni paraded by a devious route out to the campus, accompanied by an extremely cooperative and friendly Washington and Jefferson band. Although the home team suffered a 14-6 defeat at the hands of their opponents, it was an honorable loss and the game a hard-contested battle. A band, sponsored by Werner J. Rose, MD '26, helped to create a really collegiate atmosphere which was augmented by the— praying of the University's own plucky little band and the activities of the opponents" band. Previous to the game described above, the Bulls had defeated Susquehanna and C. C. N. Y. by scores of 19-0 and 6-0. respectively, and had lost to Drexel Institute, 19-6.

Last November,he was asked to engineer an amphibian type of motor AQUA - In recognition of the fact ,that the normal responsibilities which rest upon any educational institution are greatly amplified in time of emergency,the University of Buffalo is employing many of its facilities in the interest of the government's training program. While many of the opportunities it affords have not been utilized, at least to their fullest extent, material support has been given to the programoutlined by the CHEETAH than 200 students have been trained in the primary part of the programand more than 100 in the advanced section since the establishment of the course in September, 1939. The contribution of the Schoolof Nursing to the general defenseactivities includes the expansion of curricula in actual nursing courses and in courses designed to prepare teachers and supervisors for schools of nursing. The latter courses were established government. by means of a recent federal grant issued In addition to the obvious service of for that purpose.

More and engineering, is engaged in a unique vehicle. He and two assistants he chose designed and engineered the construction of the now-famousAqua-Cheetah, a land-andwater conveyance whose speed belies its ponderous appearance. The demonstration of its possibilities so impressed military men that orders for it were placed almost immediately. Mr. Harrington is now on leave from the University and is chief engineer of the Amphibian Car Corporation into which this project has grown. Many faculty members are associated with administrative and management officeson either a full- or part-time basis. In this group are ProfessorManly Fleischmann, LLB "33, Law School,on the legal staff of the O. P. M.; Dr. ShawLivermore,Assistant Dean of the Schoolof Business Administration, "trouble shooter" with the O. P. M.; Dr. Thomas L. Norton, economics professor, who has been executive secretary of the O. P. M.'s Shipbuilding Stabilization Committee;and Dr. John D. Sumner,economics professor, with the Office of Price Administration and Civilian Supply. Research activities have claimed the attention of Dr. George W. Fiero,PharD '31, Pharmacy School,who is now working on the development of ointments for the prevention of dermatitis which results from the use of certain explosive materials in munitions plants; Dr. L. Grant Hector,physics professor, now at Carnegie Institute; and Dr. Howard F. Schultz,BA '33, MA '35, physics instructor,now at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In addition, Dr. Louis L. Taffeof Law Schoolhas been engaged in investigative work for the government and Dr. Edmund D. McGarry, professorof marketing and economics, has been acting as industrial consultant to the federal government. The following eight doctors of the Medical Schoolfaculty are now in positions in defenseprojects or in active service: Robert B. Carpenter, '34, William G. Ford, '33, Wilfred W. Fuge, Frank C Hoak, Jr., '36, OscarE. Hubbard,Eugene J. Lippschutz,Victor L. Pellicano,'36, and Nelson G. Russell,Jr. Various committees relating to defense have enlisted the services of other members of the faculty in numbers too large to be included here. �UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 2 Alumni Serve Country In Far-Flung Posts The University of Buffalo is well represented by its alumni in practically all branches of service ranging from the training school teacher to the man on the minesweeper, from the flight surgeonto the intelligence agent. As a demonstration of their determined spirit in the faceof actual war, the day following Japan's attack saw the slogan, "Set the rising sun," originated by Sgt. Vito A. Grieco, Edß '39, become the war cry of the hospital unit to which he is attached. The latter part of this article is devoted to a list of all alumni known to be in service. It is to be hoped that their friends will doall in their power to make their military life as happy as it can be. To our knowledge, only one alumnus is serving with a foreign power. He is Lt. James D. MacCallum,MD '37, who responded to the plea of President Roosevelt in September, 1941,for Joctors to join the Red Crossunits for foreign service. He is now with the Royal Army Medical Corps in England. Two of our alumni are listed as stationed at positions which were attacked in the first engagements of the war: Lt. LaMovne C. Bleich,MD '39, Fort Stotsenburg, Philippine Islands;and Maj. John P. Bachman, MD '26, Honolulu, Hawaii. Probably one of the most strategic posts held bv alumni is that occupied by Maj. Hiram S.Yellen,MD '17, who is commanding the StationHospital at Kodiak Island, Alaska. A veteran of World War I, Maj. Yellen was recalled to active service at Fort Hancock on November I, 1940,and in May, 1941,was transferredto Alaska where the hospital staff under his able command included a score of physicians and surgeons and a corps of Red Crossnurses. Among the names given in the list will be found those of several nurses of whose activities we have been notified. One of them, 2nd Lt. Marie Monczynska, A. N. C, Nrs '38, is reported to be the first from Buffalo to enlist for active duty and also the first to enter the foreign service. Shewent to Iceland shortly after the beginning of her four-year enlistment period. Another group included in the list is that of four newly-appointed Field Directors of the American Red Cross.When the National Red CrossHeadquarters in Washington recently announced the appointment of 24 directors or assistant directors of field work in Red Crossmilitary and naval service, it was discovered that 10 were from Buffalo and that 4 of those 10 were U. B. graduates. One of the four, Franklin Z. Gatland,Soc '36, is Field Director for two air bases,one in Connecticutand the other in Massachusetts. While our information concerning the alumni in service is scanty, some facts concerning a few of them are available. John Lord O'Brian, LLB '98, holds the extremely important position of general counsel in the Legal Department of the Office of Production Management in Washington. First Lt. Bernard G. Geuting, MD '39, a "flying doctor" in the U. S. Navy, is believed to be one of the youngest flight surgeonsin the Navy. Sincethis is one of the most highly-specialized jobs in the service,it is a real distinction to qualify for such work. Capt. Roswell P. Rosengren, LLB "27, attached to the Washington Bureau of Public Relations, has been active in organizing and directing a speakers' bureau and has himself traveled over a good part of the country delivering speeches to various groups. At the District II meeting of the American Alumni Council, he gave a stirring address on military preparedness and defense activities. Robert J. Jantzen,BS (Bus) '38, who was graduated from the National Police Academy of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in October, 1940, is now active in the Intelligence Division of the Navy. Capt. William G. Cook, BS "27, Alumni Secretary still on leave of absence, EDITOR'S NOTE The list of names and addresses included in this article is bound by its very nature to be inaccurate and incomplete although it does contain all of the pertinent information in our possession. Any news concerning alumni and former students is always greatly appreciated and particularly so at this time. While records of non-graduates are not kept by the Alumni Office, the divisional secretaries are very much interested in following the careers of their former students. Kindly address all correspondence to The Alumni Office, Crosby Hall. is now enrolled for a three-months course in the Infantry Schoolat Fort Benning, leaving at least temporarily his post as public relations officer at Fort Dix. First Lt. Richard H. Peter,BS (Bus) '31, is head of his companywhich is responsible for the repair and upkeep of vehicles at the Windsor Locks Air Base. At the end of the article will be found also a list of men who had been called for duty and were later allowed to return to their homes after serving their year or because of the change in the age regulation which had been passed. IN MEMORIAM The first Buffalo casualty of which we know was mentioned in last month's issue of the Bulletin. Capt. Willem B. Wilton, Soc '37, whose death on October 17 resulted from injuries sustained in a jeep car accident near Pinehurst, North Carolina, died even before our entrance into active war. It is perhaps fitting, too, that we include a mention of Benjamin F. Hoffman, Naval Reserve aviation cadet who attended the Schoolof Business Administration from 1937-1940 and who was killed on November 3, when the training plane he was piloting crashed near Miami, Florida. a ALUMNI IN SERVICE Kodiak, Alaska: Maj.

Colleges and universities expected the prescription of regulations which would formally defer the military training and service of students in medical,dental and engineering schools and of advanced students in certain scientificfields. Sincethe power to defer,or not to defer,the service of any individual lies in the hands of his local board, the status of students in the scientificspecialties is still somewhat uncertain. In all probability the vast majority of students of medicine,dentistry, pharmacy and engineering will be allowed to finish their studies beforebeing called. Those preparing themselves for specialization in physics and chemistry, and the applications of these may appear to many local boards sciences, to have a less valid claim for deferment. The relation of college and university students to the draft is therefore less definite than institutional officershad reason to expect it would be. After a yearin which the energies of the country have been intensively applied to defenseproduction, and in which unprecedented amounts of moneyhave been appropriated by the federal government for defensepurposes, there is no comprehensive programfor the use of colleges and universties as centers of special training or as agencies of research. Most of the better equipped universities and technical schools have been asked to organize certain new courses designed to meet one phase or another of the emergency.To manyof them assignments of research projects have also been made. But as yet these undertakings appear to be unco-ordinated. Members of the teaching staffs of the higher institutions have been summoned in large numbers to conduct investigations bearing upon defenseactivities and to administer technical undertakings in connection with the defenseprogram.An important part of any comprehensive plan for the best use of the country's scientificresources would be the assignment of a certain proportion of the leading experts in everyfield to teaching duties,in order that .the supply of adequately trained youngmen maybe maintained. If a nation is to be strong in its hour of military peril and in the hours which follow a military emergency,it cannot throw all its energies into the creation of engines of war and turn all its youth indiscriminately to the tasks of making and operating these engines. For a nation is strong to defenditself precisely in proportion as it cultivates the minds and spirits of its people, in proportion as it lets nothing interferewith the training of young leaders for the intellectual operations which are essential both to military defense and to civil planning and direction, precisely in proportion as it fostersthe humane impulses of the people and their religious aspirations. that these It is imperatively necessary factsshould be brought home to the public and its official leaders. Here is a task for all who are qualified to be the spokesmen of our universities,whether they be students, teachers, trustees or alumni. Privately supported institutions anticipate a sharp falling off of gifts and bequests because of new federaltaxes and of organizations for the relief of war sufferers. In calculating protable losses in enrollment for the coming year the university has had to take account of both the draft and the employment situation. For the first time in a decade jobs are plentiful; and wages are higher. In the summer of 1940 plans were laid for the offering of a number of new courses within the field of engineering which officers of the university believed would be of assistance to persons employed in defenseindustries,as well as to those expecting to enter one of the technical services of the military establishment. The university has no school of engineering. However,it has offered work in the basic engineering subjects and in a few engineering specialties. In order to meet the expected needs of additional instruction in the fields referred to it added another full-time professor to its engineering staff. The new courses were hardly under way beforean appropriation was made by the federalgovernment to subsidize engineering instruction for persons in defense industries. The regulations governing the distribution of the appropriation restricted its use to approved 4-year engineering schools. Cornell University, which had already set up an officein Buffalo to administer special advanced courses in engineering subjects, became the recipient of the federal grant and expanded its offerings to cover the same basic engineering subjects which the university had undertaken to provide. Sincethe appropriation enabled Cornell to offer this instruction without a tuition charge, and since this university could not offer its own courses without fees, much of the work which the university had projected was dropped. The university, has nevertheless, continued to co-operate by furnishing quart- ers for the conduct of these courses and by lending some of its instructors. The university has already begun to turn its facilities for technical instruction into other channels believed to be equally valuable in the present emergency. Two projects of this sort deserve special mention. Together with the Industrial Management Committeeof the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce the university has launched a cooperative plan for industrial training designed to prepare skilled personnel for plants engaged in defenseindustries. The plan provides a training period of 64 weeks, half of which is spent by the student in university courses and half undergoing supervised training in one of the co-operating industries. With the assistance of a group of directors of manufacturing industries the university has also worked out a 4-year course in industrial technology leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science. The curriculum combines instruction in fundamentalengineering subjects and subjects from the general field of business administration. During the year under review an advanced course was added to the elementary course of the Civil Pilot Training Program and the university was given a quota of trainees for both programs.All participants during the past year have been obliged to sign a pledge to apply for military service after the completion of the work; and students in the secondary program have been given the regular Army Air Corps physical examination. Our record for successful completion of these courses remains outstanding. An intensive effort to secure contributions to the general funds of the university and for special purposes has been conducted through the Office of the Associate Secretary. One result of this effort was the establishment of two fellowships of $1,000 each for graduate students in chemistry. These fellowships were contributed by the Company, through BuffaloElectro-Chemical Mr. CharlesA. Buerk, its president. The uncertainties of the period through which we are passing bear most heavily upon the student bodies of our universities. Many students are in a quandary as to what to do. The officersof the university have consistently advised all students in good standing to continue their studies;and if their university courses are interrupted by the draft, to plan to return and complete them. Several divisions of the university have organized their programsin shorter units, so that anyone who may be draftedcan complete a definitecourse of study before leaving and can re-enter after his service with out loss of time. �ALUMNI BULLETIN PRINCIPAL DEVELOPMENTS OF THE YEAR 1940-41 The Enrollment and the Financial Condition of the University The total enrollment for the year under review was 5100. This represents a decline of 3.5 per cent from the enrollment of the preceding year. Of the total, 1886 were regular students in the full-time day divisions. The enrollment in these divisions declined 2.88 per cent in the year under review. The enrollment in the Summer Sessionof 1940 dropped 16.75 per cent. The enrollment in the Millard Fillmore College declined 3.22 per cent. The income from feesof students constitutes approximately 80 per cent of the university's total income. The annual increases in the total income reported for a number of yearshave been almost entirely due to increases in enrollment. Because of the conservative practice which the council adopted in estimating income and expenditures in formulating the university budget, there has been for some time an operating surplus at the end of each fiscalyear. When the budget for 1941-42 was adopted it was to appropriate 336,486.65 of the necessary surplus, notwithstanding the considerable reductions in the estimates presented by most of the divisions of the university. Without an annual operating surplus, the annual budgetscould not have been balanced during the past 5 years. Sincepractically all the university's appropriations are for on-going enterprises, it becomes necessary for it to better its budget estimates by a substantial sum each year. It is highly problematical whether it can continue to do so. Central University Services TheLibraries The Lockwood Memorial Library received a collection of approximately 1.200 books in the fieldsof penology and criminology from the family of W. H. Gratwick. From Mr. George Nathan Newman it received a most valuable collection of miscellaneous literature numbering over 10,000 volumes. Public Lectures The income from the James Fenton Foundation is used to bringdistinguished authorities in various fieldsfor lectures of interest to the general public. Eleven persons have appeared on this Foundation this year. The Orin E. Foster Lecture Fund, at the request of the donor, Mrs. Foster,is devoted to the physical sciences, chiefly chemistry. Eighteen lectures were delivered on this Foundation. Bureau of Personnel Research This bureau annually applies the most revealing of the modern devices of measurement to all undergraduates in the campus schools. It is doubtful whether the traits and capacities of the students of any other institution are more thoroughly investigated and recorded;or whether the results of 3 modern measurement are anywhere else more effectively used in the guidance of students' educational careers. The completeness of these records conof antributes greatly to the effectiveness other activity of the bureau,namely, placeteaching, field of the Except ment. in the problem of placement has been this year much less difficult. Quite properly the bureau has devoted much of its attention to the replacement of certain alumni who have been out of college one or more years and have been unable to find employment commensurate with their abilities. Bureau of Business and SocialResearch The work of this bureau falls into 4 divisions: (1) the collection and publication of current business and social statistics; (2) the investigation of economic and social problems and the publication of the results; (3) the furnishing of information to various business groups;and (4) the accumulation of statistical factsand sources of data. In addition to the StatisticalSurvey, the regular publication, one special study has been published duringthe year.This relates to the population and housing aspects of the 1940 Tract Censusof Buffalo. Activities of the Divisions College of Arts and Sciences The distinguishing featureof the work of the college is the plan of tutorial instruction. This scheme of instruction is highly individualized. During the year just passed the tutorial plan was under examination again by the faculty. Its continuance in substantially its present form was overwhelmingly endorsed. Library ScienceCourse: A year ago the university appointed Mr. Joseph B. Rounds as assistant professor to serve as a full time teacher in the Library ScienceCourse. With this addition to the staff it has been possible to undertake an extensive reorganization of this enterprise. In spite of a protracted illness, which resulted in his death on May 31. 1941, Dr. Augustus H. Shearer,the Director of the Library Science Coursefrom its foundation,initiated and oversaw the investigations which resulted in these changes. His untimely death deprives the university of the services of one of its most stimulating teachers and most indefatigable administrators. On June 6, 1941 the council appointed Mr. Rounds Associate Professorof Library Scienceand Director of the Library ScienceCourse. The Jones Professorship: The war in Europe interferedwith the regular annual engagement of a French university professor to hold the Mrs. Joseph T. Jones Professorship for a full semester. The university was exceptionally fortunate, however, in being able to engagethe distinguished author and scholar, M. Andre Maurois of the French Academy, for a portion of the second semester. School of Medicine The executive committee of the school decided to discontinue the comprehensive . examination for fourth year students and to require all candidates for graduation to pass Part II of the National Board Examinations since many of the graduating students were taking the latter and the imposition of another comprehensive examination constituted a serious burden. Beforebeing admitted to the 3rd year all students must pass Part I of the National Board Examinations. At the end of the 3rd year they receive the comprehensive examination prepared by the school's committee on examinations. The library of the Medical school now contains some 30,000 volumes and 55,000 pamphlets. The problem of providing better facilities for the use of the collection becomes every yearmore pressing. Without radical reconstruction of the present building no solution seems to be in sight. This yearthe committee form of management was extended to the Department of Postgraduate and ContinuationWork. In addition to the annual Postgraduate Course for Practitioners,the Committeehas provided weekly lectures to practitioners and has sponsored a series of public lectures for the laity. School of Dentistry The principal stumbling blocks for dental students have lain in the pre-clinical subjects administered by the Schoolof Medicine. In certain of these subjects the whole group of dental students uniformly ranks much lower than the contemporary group of medical students. The percentage of failure is high. During the present year, a committee representing both schools, under the chairmanship of the Director of the Bureau of Personnel Research, was appointed to take the whole plan of medicaldental education under review. The congested condition of the library of the Medical school bears seriously upon the library facilities of the Dental school. Some years ago the administrations of the two libraries were combined and the Dental library was moved to the Medical building. It has been necessary to move the overflow of dental books and periodicals back to the Dental building, with some resulting inconvenience to both the student body and the faculty. The Dental school has been experimenting with a comprehensive examination administered at the end of the dental course. The results have proved to be highly satisfactory and the faculty has voted to make the examination a permanent feature. Schoolof Pharmacy The standard course of study for preparation for pharmacy is now 4 yearsin length. Stateauthorities have announced that after January, 1943 all candidates for licensure in New York must have had at least 1 year of approved experience following graduation. The arbitrary lengthening of courses of professional training always tends to reduce the number of students in professional schools. There is an acute shortage of qualified pharmacists in the State of �4 New York; and all schools have shown a falling off in numbers as the result of the increased requirements imposed several yearsago. The demands of the military services for pharmacists will intensify this shortage. The enrollment in the Schoolof Pharmacyhas lately increased slowly. We may safely anticipate, however,that it will once more respond adversely to the new State requirement. Schoolof Law In February, 1941 Mr. Francis M. Shea, Assistant Attorney General of the United Stateson leave from the university, resigned the Deanship and on April 29th Professor Mark De Wolfe Howe was appointedDean of the Schoolof Law. Space for the school's rapidly growing library is required. The university has recently turned over to the school the small building formerly occupied by the Buffalo Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. The top floor is not yet in use. If it can be transformedinto an overflowstack room it will relieve the worst of the present congestion. The Bar Association of Erie County this year offeredto 2nd and 3rd yearstudents the privilege of student membership. Schoolof Business Administration The faculty of this school is likely to be more heavily raided by governmental agencies than that of anyother division. Experts in economics,statistics,business organization and marketing are already in great demand. Two of the senior professors have been granted leaves of absence and others have been called for temporary short time services. The university must be prepared for still further calls upon its staff in the near future. The enrollment of the school reached a new high point with a total of 287 students. School of Education Two decades ago the shortage of skilled personnel constituted the most serious weakness of American public and private schools. Educators all over the country devotedthemselves to the task of bringing this fact to the public attention. Their efforts have proved to be too successful. It was suddenly discovered that instead of having too few teachers we had too many. It was not until youngpeoplegenerally came to realize the hard fact that they would now be offering their wares in a highly competitive market,and that opportunities for employment were sharply limited, that the influx of students into teacher training institutions began to be checked. The rising tide of persons trained for the teaching profession has been met by a fallingoff in the school population. In this field of professional education the country facesa period of painful readjustment. Ever since the establishment of the School of Education at the university its Dean and staffhave resisted demands for the inflation UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO of its offerings. As the school facesthe new and harder conditions it does not find itself under the necessity of squeezing water out of an overinfiatedenterprise. Somethree years agothe school presented to the council a programfor the training of teachers of physical education,health and recreation. Physical education is one of the fieldsin which the supply of competent instructors is still inadequate. In April, 1941 the Committeeon GeneralAdministration of the council approved the program. School of SocialWork As the national defenseeffort has come into full swing unemployment has dropped off. The center of gravity in the field of social work is shifting back to the private agencies. And once more the school must adjust itself to the new situation. The Dean and faculty of the Schoolof SocialWork of this university have resisted vigorously the tendency which has developed in the American Association of Schools of Social Work to impose upon member schools fixed curriculum requirements. The wisdom of their position has constantlybeen justifiedby the succession of radical changes in the types of service that social workers called upon to render. The demands of a group of social workers in Rochester for extramural courses were met by an arrangement with the University of Rochester. The university has conducted 2 courses in case work in Syracuse with the co-operation of the Syracuse Chapter of the American Association of SocialWorkers, and the Public Welfare Department of that are city. Schoolof Nursing The school's Director and her associates have been engaged in the definitionof the several groupswho should properly compose the faculty and the delimitation of their respective responsibilities and the examination and reorganization of the curriculum. It has been determined that the teaching staff of the school shall consist of the following groups: (1) a governing faculty composed largely of professional nurses; (2) administrative officerswith faculty rank in the university who, because of their positions either in the university or in co-operating hospitals and other community agencies,are concerned with the administrative activities of the school; (3) faculty associates and consultants active in one of the special fieldsof nursing; and (4) members of the facultiesof other divisions who teach courses in the Schoolof Nursing. Only 3 major programsleading to the degree of Bachelor of Sciencein Nursing are to be offeredfor the present, namely: (1) teaching and supervision in schools of nursing; (2) public health nursing (including preparation for school nursing); and (3) physical therapy. During the year the school was formally inspected for the first time by a delegate of the National Organization for Public Health Nursing and the curriculum for public health nurses received the provisional approval of this body. SummerSession The decrease in enrollment in 1940 seems to be plainly attributable to the uncertainties of the national situation and to the doubtful outlook for placement and promotion in the public schools. A large percentage of the summer enrollment consists always of teachers. It was this group of students which was notably smaller. Millard Fillmore College This college has organized and is now conducting the Co-operative Plan for Industrial Training. In the first years of its operation the Millard Fillmore College, then known as was typically an agency the Evening Session, for what is commonly called adult educaof the students now, majority tion. But the are taking regular university courses with the expectation of completing work for university degrees. Graduate Schoolof Arts and Sciences Twenty students completed the work for the degree of Master of Arts and two for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy during the past year. These represented the successfulcandidates from a groupof 50 whose programshad been accepted by the faculty and who hoped to complete the requirements within the year. Up to now there have been no fellowships and scholarships especially reserved for graduate students. The two fellowships in chemistry recently established by the Company will be Buffalo Electro-Chemical the first of this character. Lacking such formal subsidies to award, the university has been under no temptation to pad its rolls of graduate students and perhaps to lower its standards. With the standards and reputation of the school now firmly established,however,it is highly desirable that the university should command a considerable number of scholarships and fellowships to be awarded exclusively to graduate students. THE NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY The most urgent need of the university is an increase in its annual income to enable it to conduct more effectively the enterprises to which it is committed. Either additions to the general endowment,or the establishment of endowed professorships, would provide increased income in the most permanent and satisfactory form. If it proves to be impossible to secure substantial additions to the permanent funds of the university, annual contributions toward its current expenses must be sought. I use the imperative, because the developments which have been sketched above and which have been forecastindicate that unless increased income is forthcoming the university must curtail its activities or reduce their quality.

Gentlemen: The annual report of the comptroller for the fiscalyear which ended June 30, 1941 is presented herewith. The balance sheet,Exhibit "A", shows endowment assets of $6,081,170.21; plant assets of $7,045,900.36; and operating assets of $152,574.07. On June 30, 1941 the total funds in the endowment account were $6,073,960.71, as shown in Exhibit "A". On June 30, 1940 the total funds were $5,984,827.41. The net increase for the year, therefore,in endowment fundswas $89,133.30. Schedule"A-l" is an exhibit of the special purpose fundsof the university, which, at June 30, 1941,totalled $4,182,789.85. These special purpose funds are a part of the general endowment of the university but they have been restricted as to use by their respective donors. Exhibit "B" is an analysis of plant assets of the university at the close of the fiscal year on June 30, 1941. The value of the plant assets on June 30, 1940 was $7,024,350.40. The value of the plant assets on June 30, 1941 was $7,044,735.13. The increase during the year covered by this report, therefore,was $20,384.73. The total operating income for the year was $1,100.146.81; the total operating disbursements were $1,055,502.85. The year,therefore, closed with a net surplus of $44,643.96, which is 4.06 per cent of the total income for the year. Of this surplus the sum of $36,486.65 was appropriated by the committee on general administration to balance the budget for the fiscal year 1941-42. The total operating income for the year exceeded the total operating income of the preceding year by $32,250.25, while the total operating disbursements exceeded those of the preceding year by $19,291.27. The following is a comparative table of the operating account of the university for the fiscalyears 1938-39, 1939-40, and 1940-41: Fees Received from Students $ 843,474.41 $ 850,326.14 S 870,977.2Income from Endowment 157,159.56 163,497.28 160,942.1; Dental Infirmary (Net) 14,550.43 15,055.41 16,017.0 Gifts Received ro Apply on Salaries 8,000.00 4,500.00 8,000.01 Rental Property Income 2,130.00 1,690.00 3,065.01 9,460.4Miscellaneous 10,938.45 10,753.26 Appropriation of 1937-38 Surplus 24.381.28 21,634.47 Appropriation of 1938-59 Surplus Appropriation of 1939-40 Surplus M,684.9f _ Total Income SI,060,193-93 51,067,896.56 51,100,146.81 EXPENSES Expenses of Administration $ 149.002.99 5 150,797.06 $ 156,455-71 575,038.06 573,133.06 Salaries of Instruction 560,582.20 Supplies Used in Instruction 25,978.15 25,772.33 26,867.13 Operation and Maintenance of 99,823.29 100,820.54 113,541.77 Buildings Operation and Maintenance of 28,441.41 27,729.42 Central Heating Plant 24,242.28 Upkeep and Improvement— 41,475.04 University Campus 41,727.23 33,108.38 The University Library 54,875.04 35,494.7" 29,974.21 Departmental Libraries 10,608.58 10,377.14 9,506.15 Bureau of Business and Social Research 6,161.67 6,525.40 6,599.94 Department of Physical Education and Hygiene 16,981.80 16,155.25 16,685.09 The Registrar's Office 13,317.96 13,660.22 13.159.02 Furniture and Fixtures 4.996.35 3,320.19 2,843-31 Scientific Equipment 6,305.21 6,951.72 6,300.18 Catalogs, Bulletins, Printing and 8,045.68 7,724.02 8,105.95 Advertising 7,167.04 6,879.98 Insurance 8,530.09 5.164.89 3,217.50 Interest on Mortgages Payable 3.658.63 - _ _ 7,313.81 1,786.97 _ _ Total Expenses Surplus for the Year 7,188.76 5,324.87 7,271.29 2,347.80 44.41 15-97 2,251.63 1,892.77 1,208.58 $1,026,559-46 $1,036,211.58 $1,055,502.85 $ 33,634.47 $ 31,684.98 $ 44,643-96 During the year 1940-41 fees received from students equalled 79.2 per cent of the total income of the university for the year and 72.5 per cent of the total cost of operating the university for the year. Of the total expenses 54.3 per cent was for salaries of instruction;60.5 per cent was for salaries of instruction,plus supplies used in instruction and operation and maintenance of libraries. United States,state and municipal government bonds,purchased by the university, yielded an average income of 3.70 per cent on the actual investment;foreign government bonds,4.61 per cent; railroad bonds,3.86 per cent; public utility bonds,5-18 per cent", industrial bonds,4.25 per cent; miscellaneous bonds,all gifts, 2.04 per cent; stocks,4.31 per cent; real estate mortgages and mortgage yield on all stocks and bonds certificates,1.01 per cent. The average purchased and owned by the university, and excluding gifts, was 4.36 per cent for the year. On June 30, 1941 the stocks and bonds in the university portfolio which had been purchased by the university, and excluding gifts, were classifiedas follows on the basis of market worth: United States,state, municipal and foreign government bonds,20.1 per cent; railroad bonds,7-9 per cent; public utility bonds, 10.2 per cent; industrial bonds, 1.4per cent; public utility preferred stocks, 16.3 per cent; industrial preferred stocks,4.9 per cent; investment trust preferred stocks,2.2 per cent; bank preferred stocks,1.3 per cent; rail common stocks,.4 per cent; public utility common stocks, 1.9 per cent; industrial common stocks,18.9 per cent; bank capital stocks,3.7 per cent; insurance common stocks,7.2 per cent; and investment trust common stocks,3.6 per cent. The list is a diversified list of veryhigh quality. Gifts and bequests received during the year which ended June 30, 1941 included the following: Lorin James Woodruff Scholarship Fund, $50,000; addition to Seymour H. Knox Foundation, $16,063.38; addition to Dr. Charles Cary Memorial Fund, $5,524.70; Mr. and Mrs. George F. Rand,$5,000; Adam E.

It makes of scholarships College in the Arts and available at once five full for undergraduates of high scholastic attainments, of good Sciences character and outstanding qualities of leadership. Mrs. Woodruff's bequest takes its place amongl the large and important benefactions of the university. All of the foregoing, of course, deals with the financialposition of the university for the year justended. It is in looking forward to the prospect for the current yearand,beyond that, to the prospects for the years immediately ahead that the outlook for the university appears uncertain. As has been pointed out from time to time, there already exists in the university's financialstructure an improper balance between income from endowment and income from student fees. As the increases and the draft and defenseindustries make emergency further inroads into our student body, income from student fees will decline. The budget under which we are operating will be thrown out of balance and either we shall have to curtail some of the existing university services or we shall inevitably be facedwith operating deficits. �6 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO University of Buffalo Exhibit "A"—Balance Sheet as at June 30, 1941 Endowment Fund Assets: Bonds Public Utility Bonds Government Bonds Railroad Bonds Industrial Bonds Miscellaneous Bonds .. _ - ASSETS 354,895.4-> $ _ _ __ 397:085.10 27.045.00 _ _ 6 081 l"0 "*l -, 0 s q.)0 ,«; 290.55 $13,279,644.64 These are the immediate problems facing the university and tu their solution it is urged that the earnest attention of the council. the alumni and friends of the university be directed.

CHANCELLOR'S REPORT (Continued from page4) university need additional instructional service,whether or not the enrollment declines. These additions are necessary both because of the formal standards set by national accrediting bodies and because, as in the case of the Schoolof Medicine, these divisions facean increasing administrative burden in the conduct of their relations with the agencies in the community co-operating with them in the task of professional education. The council is painfully aware of the low scale of compensation of all classes of university employees. In the non-academic classifications,the staffs in charge of grounds and buildings and the clerical services,the university is already in sharp competition with other agencies of employment which offer higher compensation for the same kinds of work. It is inevitable that many of the university's employees will leave in order to better themselves financially, unless the university is able more nearly to meet the wagesand salaries now offeredby business and industry. The salaries of members of the teaching staffhave, ever since the reductions in the general salary scale imposed 8 yearsago, been so low as to entail considerable hardship on sions of the was elected one of the two professional members of the board of the council. at June 30, 1941, Carried $158,975.47 instructors. During this period the university has lost some of its strongest many teachers to institutions which were able to offer them higher compensation. Now, with a rise in the cost of living and with the increased burden upon small incomes imposed by new federal taxes, it may be impossible for many instructors to remain in the university's employ, even though they may greatly desire to do so. And opportunities for them to better themselves financially are likely to be much more numerous than at anytime during the past decade. I would urge upon the council that it make every possible effort duringthe forthcoming yearto increase the university's general funds and that it also endeavor to secure from alumni and friendsthe pledge of continuing annual contributions toward a fund to be used for current expenses. The other great need of the universityremains constant. I refer to the need of additional fundsfor scholarships and loans to students who are otherwise unable to financetheir general or professional education. Although welcome additions are made annually to the scholarship funds of the university, these remain far too small to serve the needs of the many able and aspiring young people of this community who earnestly desire a university education but cannot payfor it.

Dr. Willard H. Bonner spoke on "Books in a Confused World," describing certain phases of the war which have affected books and their publication and discussing the role of the printed word in this time of crisis. The February and March schedule includes two meetings, one on the 19th of each month. Like the other gatherings, they will be held at 8:15 P. M., in the Blue Room of Norton Hall. Mr. Clark R. Simmons is the February speaker, his topic, "Plastics Today and Tomorrow." Dr. John Clarke Adams will speak on the "Current Picture in Europe." ARTS ALUMNI April 18 is the date set by the Arts alumni for their annual banquet which will be held in the Park Lane. At this affair, which marks the climax of the year's activities, officers will be elected and the program for 1942-43 will be considered. SOCIAL WORK The alumni, student body, consulting associates and faculty of the school were invited to attend a luncheon meeting held by the alumni association late in January. Miss Frieda Held, a member of the staff of the Toronto Children's Aid Society and a lecturer on the Fenton Foundation, was the main speaker at the meeting. She discussed professional aspects of child evacuee work in Canada. Richard E. Seeber, Soc '41, was chosen as a director of the association succeeding Howard R. Studd, BA '36, Soc '37, who had accepted a position in Atlanta, Georgia. INSTITUTE CHOOSES DIRECTORS Among those named at the annual meeting held late in January to serve threeyear terms as directors of the International Institute are James R. Borzilleri, MD '34, Dean Niles Carpenter of the School of Social Work, and David Diamond, LLB '19. Marta Mazurowska, BS (Ed) '35, EdM '38, was elected for a one-year term. ROBERT H. JACKSON As was announced in last month's Bulletin, The Honorable Robert H. Jackson, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, will speak at the university's 42nd annual University Day and mid-year commencement. The exercises will be held on February 23, beginning at 11 A. M., and will be broadcast over a local station from 11 o'clock to 12. The setting for the exercises will again be the auditorium of Edmund Hayes hall. The speaker, who recently celebrated his 50th birthday, was admitted to the bar in 1913 and practiced law in Jamestown from that time until 1934 when he was appointed general counsel of the Bureau of Internal Revenue. His spectacular rise during the years which followed was climaxed last year by his appointment to the highest branch of our nation's judicial department, the United States Supreme Court. He had in the meantime served as assistant attorney general of the United States from 1936-38, as solicitor general from 1938-39, and as attorney general from 1940-41. The Chancellor's Medal, the university's only honorary award, will again be presented this year to some citizen whose achievements include distinguished service which is identified with Buffalo. No. 1 Senior Memorial Grows Since the announcement published in last October's Bulletin concerning the Senior Memorial Pledge of the ciass of 1941, four additional pledges have been received from Law alumni and twelve more from Medical alumni. The new Law pledgors are Cameron L. Linderman, Edward J. Marschner, Albert R. Mugel, and Louis L. O'Brien. The doctors whose pledges have been added to the original list are: Alfred J. Ferrari, George A. Gentner, Jr., Rutherford S. Gilfillan, Lida G. Gottsch, Carl J. Graf, Pasquale A. Greco, Emanuel Green, BA '37, Elmer S. Groben, BA '37 (a joint pledge with Mrs. Martha Zimmerman Groben, BA '38, BS (LS) "39), Arnold Gross, Donald W. Hall, Eugene J. Hanavan. Jr., and Mary I. Henrich. The addition of these pledges brings the total number of pledgors in the 1941 group to 168. The 1942 statements have been mailed by the fund agents in each of the six classes included in the plan. Gratifying and heart-warming indeed have been some of the replies, including those from alumni in service. For example, one private wrote the following note at the top of his statement and enclosed it with his payment: "Good timing on the part of the Fund Agent as it arrived a day after Army payday so I have a small bit of cash." LITTLE MAYORS HOLD INSTALLATION Frank D. White, '23, one of the four Law alumni recently installed as officers of the Little Mayors of Buffalo and Erie County, Inc., is the new president of the group. The other alumni are: Dean J. Candee, '24, financial secretary; Joseph A. Kolassa, '24, counsellor-at-law; and Patrick J. Keeler, '05, judge advocate. PROM DATE ANNOUNCED The 21st annual Junior Prom will be held on Saturday, February 28, in the Hotel Statler ballroom. The two feature events which have become a part of the night's tradition will again highlight this year's affair for the most popular girl from the junior class will be crowned Prom Queen and worthy students will be tapped for membership in Bisonhead, senior men's honorary society. The chairman of the Prom committee is Joseph Watson of the Law school. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO More Alumni Serving Crofts Is Commended Alumni News Brevities just as this issue teas going to press with another "Alumni in Service" story, the Alumni Office received its copy of the American Alumni Council News from which is quoted the following paragraph: ''The War Department has asked all publishers of periodicals, as a matter of policy, to refrain from listing the names or numbers of the tactical units or the addresses of men in the Army, because of the extensive movement of troops in the past few weeks." The revamped list given below includes only the names, therefore, of alumni in service who were not listed in the December article. Two alumni, 2nd Lt. Joseph J. Kerr, LLB '31. and Capt. Maurice Lutwack, LLB '30, who had been relieved from active duty have been recalled to service; while Col. Edwin O. Saunders, LLB '12, a former corps area judge advocate, has retired from the Army. Among interesting sidelights on our alumni in service are the following: Lt. John L. Lincoln, MD '39, has acted as medical officer on at least one coast guard cutter; Virginia E. McNabb, BA '37, Soc '38, is psychiatric case worker at an American Red Cross Station Hospital; and Capt. Gardner E. Robertson, MD '06, who has been in service in the Medical Corps of the Navy for more than 32 years, is commanding olficer of a large Naval Hospital. At the university councils annual dinner meeting, Chancellor Samuel P. Capen pre- sented a resolution, which the council en t husiastically adopted, paying glowing tribute to George D. Crofts in recognition of his 20 years of highlysuccessful administration as comptroller and treasurer of the university. Mr. Crofts, whose affili- ation with this institution began in GEORGE D. CROFTS 1904 when he became a lecturer in the Law school, was commended for "his legal acumen, his expert financial knowledge," as well as for "his blend of mature wisdom and bold imagination." The soundness of the university's financial investments and the nine-year record of "living safely within its annual income" are credited largely to Mr. Crofts' perspicacity. Chancellor Capen also presented to the council an outline of the university's program planned to meet the present emergency. James McCormick Mitchell, LLB "97, chairman of the council, presided at the meeting. The Honorable Joseph J. Kelly, LLB *20, Buffalo's mayor, exofficio member of the council, spoke briefly at this, his first meeting with the group. ALUMNI IN SERVICE Alma E. Bachmann, Nrs '38 First Lt. Victor M.

This acceleration can be accomplished by attendance for two 12-week summer periods in addition to the regular three academic years. Students may earn from 12 to \6 hours of credit in the two summer sessions which will be divided into two 6-week terms to be conducted this year from June 29 to August 8, and from August 10 to September 19. The main purposes of this modification are to enable college students to complete and high school students to obtain a full college education before they become eligible for service and to train students in specialized fields necessary for military and civilian duties. The three-year plan is optional and is open to both men and women. Under the university's program, the Easter vacation and the June commencement date remain as originally scheduled. The School of Social Work, whose programs are not four years in length, will also operate on the yearround basis. The university also announced that high school students who completed their courses in January or who had earned 15 units of high school credit (instead of the 16 required for graduation) might enter the university in the second semester and plan to follow this three-year plan. High school students presenting less than 15 units, but who expect to be graduated this coming June, may take courses in Millard Fillmore College, the evening division, while finishing their high school careers. The arrangement of the curriculum is such that students may register in beginning courses in the second semester in English, economics, history, engineering, drawing, trigonometry, analytic geometry, college algebra, philosophy, music, biology, and conversational Spanish. A number of new offerings open to campus students during the second semester are specifically designed to help prepare for military service. Included are: courses in emergency civilian work, namely, First Aid, Home Nursing and Child Care, and Nutrition; courses in military fitness entitled Physical Fitness, and Military Hygiene and Sanitation; a course in Navigation and Piloting and one in Naval History (to be given by Dr. Julius W. Pratt, formerly of Annapolis); a biology course in Insects and Defense; a course in Spanish in Castilian and South American; and special courses in mathematics and engineering. Millard Fillmore College announced that it planned to offer the following selected courses: Navigation and Meteorology, Standard Aircraft Design Practices . and Specifications, Internal Combustion Engines, Strength of Materials, Design of Steel and Concrete Structures, Time Study and Wage Incentives, Personnel Management and Labor Relations and certain beginning courses in accounting, mathematics and psychology. Students in the College of Arts and Sciences and in the School of Business Administration who attend New York Guard drills and instructions may receive one semester hour of credit each semester toward their degrees. This action is retroactive to the first semester. Following close upon the heels of these announcements came statements of changes in policy in the schools of Law and Medicine. The Law school's present junior class will begin its senior year in June and will be graduated on December 23, 1942, six months earlier than under the present system. A 12-weeks' summer term will be compulsory for seniors but, for the present, the early part of the Law course is not being accelerated. This year, too, the Court of Appeals is allowing the senior class to take the Bar examinations in March, before the students take their final school examinations. It is possible that moving up of graduation dates to allow students to complete their Law courses before being called into military or government service may result in the giving of Bar examinations even earlier. The Medical school will accelerate its four-year course by eliminating summer vacations and by conducting its twelve terms continuously over a period of three years. Its new class will be admitted on July 6 rather than in the fall. By adopting the four-quarter plan, it is felt that the extraordinarily high standards of medical education will not be sacrificed and yet the school will be helping to remedy the shortage of doctors by producing them in less time. The School of Dentistry has been operating on a four-quarter plan for a number of years. John Lord O'Brian, LLB '98, has been chosen by Donald M. Nelson, chairman of the War ProducBoard, to act I on of the new position revious O'BRIAN, '98 post as iefunct Office oduction Man- agement. FALLS PARTY PLANNED The Niagara Falls Alumni Club will hold "Open House" this year instead of its annual dinner because the national emergency and the fact that many of its members are engaged in defense work make it difficult to plan for the traditional type of affair. Alice L. Schelosky, BA '34, who acts as secretary for these alumni, writes that they are inviting their friends to drop in at the Hotel Niagara on Thursday evening, February 26, to renew acquaintances and to enjoy an informal social gathering. The evening's entertainment, which is not yet completely planned, is expected to include informal talks by speakers from the university and perhaps some musical entertainment. There will also be election of officers and the preparation of a club program for the coming year. ALUMNI APPOINTED AS ARBITRATORS Karl A. McCormick, LLB '08, and Alger A. Williams, LLB '21, were among the five Buffalonians who were recently appointed to membership on the national panel of arbitrators of the American Arbitration Association. BULLETIN Just as this issue was going to press, the university announced that it was planning a still further contribution to the war and defense effort in the form of a school for gas defense organized at the request of the Erie County Defense Council. Dr. Howard W. Post, assistant professor of chemistry, is responsible for arranging the course which will prepare 50 chemistry teachers from Erie County high schools to instruct the citizens in their communities on intelligent methods of combating dangerous gases. Five groups of ten each will begin the course at successive weekly intervals, receiving 12 hours of instruction, 5 in general home defense and elementary chemistry, 5 in practical aspects of gas defense, and 2 in actual drill. The course is scheduled to begin as soon as the modern gas-fighting equipment to WOMEN LAWYERS ELECT Alpha Delta Chapter of Kappa Beta Phi, women's international legal sorority, recently announced the election of the following new officers, all Law alumnae: Zenia J. Smokowski, '39, dean; Winifred C. Stanley, BA '30, '33, vice-dean; Eleanor W. Tauriello, '39, chancellor; Lillian Geiger Cowan, '27, registrar; Abbie E. Hauck, "25, quarterly correspondent; and Freda Dickman Newbury, '26, marshal. be used in the drill and now on order is received. The seven instructors include four from the faculty of the university. The school is also arranging to provide chemistry experts who will be available to speak before local groups on this same topic of gas defense. �4 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO ALUMNI BULLETIN Published monthly except July, August and September, by the University of Buffalo at 3435 Main Street, Buffalo, N.

LOCKWOOD AWARDED CHANCELLOR'S MEDAL 65 Are Graduated by University at Mid-Year Commencement THOMAS BROWN LOCKWOOD Paying tribute to a Buffalonian whose contributions "have immeasurably enriched the cultural life of the community and have dignified 'Buffalo in the eyes of the world,' " the university awarded the Chancellors Medal to Thomas Brown Lockwood, donor of the magnificent Lockwood Memorial Library and a collection of rare books and manuscripts which is one of the foremost in the United States. The award was one of the highlights of the forty-second annual mid-year convocation exercises held on Feb. 23 and again broadcast over station WEBR. Mr. Lockwood, a native of Buffalo, attended old Central High School here. He received his bachelor's degree from Yale in 1895 and studied law in the office of Rogers, Locke and Milburn. Since he attended the university's Law school for a year and the Cornell Law school for a year, he is an alumnus of the university in the broad sense of the word. He was admitted to the bar in 1897. Mr. Lockwood has served ably and diligently on the general administration committee of the Council of the University of Buffalo since his election to that body in 1919. He is also a trustee of the Grosvenor Library. State Teachers College, the Buffalo Seminary, the Buffalo Historical Society, the J. N. Adam Memorial Hospital at Perrysburg (he was one of its founders), LOCKWOOD LIBRARY, LASTING MEMORIAL and previously served as a trustee of Union College, a post he resigned in 1920. The Lockwood Memorial Library, which was dedicated in 1935, was presented to the university by Mr. Lockwood and the late Marion Birge Lockwood in memory of their fathers, Daniel N. Lockwood and George K. Birge. At the time of its dedication, Mr. Lockwood also gave to the university practically his entire collection of books, many of them extremely rare, numerous original manuscripts and letters of value and a number of rare coins and medals. "The university," said Chancellor O.pen in conferring the medal, "has already acknowledged to him its deep indebtedness. It now points out that it is not the sole beneficiary. In a sense it is a trustee for the community. These gifts, the building and the collection, not only bring celebrity to the university which possesses them; they permanently enhance the aesthetic and intellectual life of Buffalo and give it distinction among the cities of the land." Mr. Lockwood is the 15th recipient of the Chancellor's Medal which was provided for in the will of the late Chancellor Charles P. Norton and which is designed "to personify civic patriotism and vivify public service in the eyes of the citizens of Buffalo." Degrees Conferred At the mid-year exercises, the following sixty-five degrees, certificates and diplomas were awarded, fifty-one to new alumni: degrees—bachelor of arts, 12; bachelor of education, 5; bachelor of science in nursing, 4; bachelor of science in the School of Business Administration, 4; bachelor of library science, 3; bachelor of fine arts, 1; master of education, 18; master of social service, 4; and master of arts, 3; certificates —in engineering, 1; in arts and sciences, 1; in business administration, 1; in social work, 1; and graduate certificate in social work, 6; diploma in business administration, 1. One of the recipients of the master of education degree was Alfred J. Hoffmeister who has been totally deaf since his senior year in high school eleven years ago and is the first person thus handicapped by total deafness to receive his master's degree from the university. Speaker Discusses "New Order" The Honorable Robert H. Jackson, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, was the principal speaker at the exercises. His topic was: "Youth Faces The New Order,' " a very timely subject which he discussed with consummate and masterly skill. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Service Roll Grows Merit Dinner Repeated Campus Flashes While not all of the information we obtain about our alumni in service can be published without violating the censorship code and possibly endangering lives, we plan to continue to list the names of those who enter upon active duty and, where possible, to include items of interest concerning their experiences and activities. Such material is in perfect conformity with the present interpretation of the code. We theretore ask again that you, classmates and friends of alumni active in service, keep us informed of their movements. May we say, too, that we appreciate the notes we have received, including those from the "serving alumni" themselves, whose communications are of necessity rather One hundred star athletes from -13 Erie and Niagara County high schools were guests of honor at the third annual Merit Award dinner held in Norton hall on March 7. The principal speakers were Chancellor Samuel P. Capen and Mayor Joseph J. Kelly, LLB '20. Harold Houser, freshman at the university, addressed the group as the representative of last year's award win- The Alumni Office plans to send copies oi the Bulletin to seniors in the various divisions in an attempt to acquaint them with alumni activities and perhaps in this way help to prepare them for the transition from undergraduate to graduate status. To keep alumni informed of student affairs, an effort will be made to devote at least one article each month to student news. Fred Allen Broadcast On Sunday, April 12, some talented U. B. student will be a guest of Fred Allen and the lucky winner of a trip to New York plus a $200 cash prize. Chosen by a series of auditions planned by a student-faculty committee whose chairman is Norton Union director Robert Parke, the semi-finalists will perform for Mr. Allen's talent scout late this month. Their classmates will vote for their choice of the three finalists who will broadcast over WGR. Mr. Allen will announce the winner on his April sth show. Physical Fitness Stressed Inaugurated by a special recreational program held on Valentine's Day, the campaign of the Physical Fitness Drive committee, headed by Grace L. Primas, is well under way. As part of its program emphasizing exercise, directed recreation and general health care, the women's division of physical education is sponsoring a sports day in Clark Memorial gymnasium on Sat., March 28. Six junior and senior girls, selected on the basis of their "athletic ability and sportsmanship qualities," have been invited from each of the high schools in the Buffalo area. Students aiding faculty members in the planning of the program include: Dorothy J. Dougan, Jean C. Gates, Virginia D. Hofmeister, Helene Messerschmidt. Ruth F. Schauf, Ruth M. Schwendler, Alice D. Wilbert and Dorothy C. Woodward, all enrolled in the new physical education course, and Charlotte Georgi, president of the Women's Athletic Association. Prom Events Crowned Queen of the highly-successful 1942 Junior Prom is Christine C. Gibson, whose beauty upholds the finest tradition of campus queens. Sharing the spotlight were the new Bisonhead "tappees", Everett E. Brown, Colin MacLeod, Dean C. Stathacos, Donald F. Stickney and Alfred J. rare. Among the positions of importance held by our graduates is that of Commander Robert J. Lawler, MD '04, who was recently promoted from the rank of Lt. Com. and who is the Senior Medical Officer of the Marine Corps of the Buffalo recruiting district. Com. Lawler served nobly in World War I, a part of the time as regimental surgeon with the Fifth Marines in France. He was awarded the Navy Distinguished Service Cross, the Purple Heart, the Silver Star, the Victory Medal and the Croix de Guerre with palm. Although no official authentication has been obtained, it is believed that the director of the open-air base hospital on Bataan peninsula, Colonel Carlton L. Vanderboget, is a graduate of our Medical school, class of 1910. An article which appeared in Life magazine (Feb. 16, 1942 issue) described the hospital as able to take care of 2,900 patients at the time of writing, Feb. 6. An operating unit under a tent, bombs jarring the operating table—these are but two of the back-drops in the setting for the drama which is being enacted under Bataan skies. The article also includes mention of some examples of self-sacrifice and resolute industry which are evident in the Medical Corps workers as they match the heroism of the men in the front-lines. Another name added to the growing list of Red Cross workers is that of D. Bruce Falkey, Soc '40, MSS '41, who volunteered for overseas service. Recent advancements in position achieved by alumni include the following: Capt. William G. Cook, BS '27, chosen as an instructor at the Infantry School at Fort Benning; Edwin B. Harnish, PhG '39, from Pvt. First Class to Lieutenant at Camp Joseph T. Robinson; Willis A. Manning, BS (Bus) '39, from Private to Corporal with a tank destroyer battalion; Thomas M. O'Connor, LLB '40, from Second to First Lieutenant; and Brainard E. Prescott, LLB '35, from Captain to Major, director of law at the Provost Martial School at Arlington. To our knowledge, the only alumnus thus far to belong to a parachute troop unit is 2nd Lt. Norman R. Nickerson, Edß '39. The following names have been added to our "Service" file since the publication of the February list: Pvt. Robert B. Cooney, BS (Phar) '41. D Bruce Falkey, Soc '40, MSS '41 (Red Cross). ners. William C. Baird, university council member, acted as toastmaster and was also the deserving recipient of a "most valuable football player award" in recognition of his efforts on behalf of the university's athletic activities, not least among which were his inauguration of the dinner and his contributions to its success. James E. Peelle, director of athletics and football coach, presented the honor medals to the athletes. After the dinner, the sports stars were guests at the Buffalo-Susquehanna basketball game in Clark Memorial gymnasium where they witnessed a 40-27 U. B. triumph.

In addition to representing the university at a conference on pre-india tion military training held under the auspices of the Institute of Military Studies at the University of Chicago late in February, he was shortly thereafter named by the McGiath, '28 ■ Navy Department to be one of seven curriculum policy consultants. He and Mr. Frank Bowles, director of admissions of Columbia University, were asked to remain in Washington on full-time duty for a month to administer the policy by which the navy hopes to recruit 80,000 men a year from the country's colleges. The V-l plan, as it is known, calls for appointment of students as apprentice seamen with inactive status for two years, during which they will take pre-induction naval training courses in addition to their regular college work. At the end of the two years, they will enter either the V-5 (air corps) or the V-7 (officers of the deck) class, members of the latter group being able to finish their college programs and obtain degrees before entering active service. After enlistment, the students must pass the required courses or report for active duty as seamen. To be eligible under the new program, the colleges and universities must have compulsory physical education for all male students. In addition, mathematics through trigonometry and physics are to be required. After receiving the list of rules and regulations governing the new policy, in- £r 5 A.

Plans have not been completed as yet but the officers, led by Vice-President Robert A. Bollman, Dip '29, forecast an intensive and successful drive to make this dinner meeting a "bang-up" affair. First notices have already been sent to local members. MEDICINE Had more of the junior students who were on vacation at the time been able to attend, the final registration for the Eighth Annual Clinical Day of the Medical Alumni association would have been considerably higher than the actual 570.

The Summer Session, cooperating with this program, is offering a wide variety of courses including many given in previous years as well as many new courses with special significance this year. In addition, to effectuate the accelerated program adopted by the university, instead of the customary sixweek Summer Session there will be a twelve-week session, two six-week periods to be conducted, the first from June 29 to August 8, the second from August 10 to September 19. Instruction in regular courses will be given on the basis of six-, eight-, and twelve-week arrangements. It will be possibie for students to earn as many as 16 semester hours—the equivalent of a full semester of a regular year. "War" Courses Many courses in fields such as accounting, economics, education and history, to mention a few, will emphasize the applications to the present situation and will be geared to war-time needs. In addition, there are a number of new or recently introduced courses designed primarily to offer instruction in fields contributing directly to the war effort. A course in Meteorology will be given which will include a study of the phenomena of the atmosphere and the forecasting of weather. Along a similar vein is the course in which will be presented the basic principles of coastwise piloting and celestial navigation under the title, Introduction to Navigation and Piloting. United States Natal History will offer a study of our naval policy and naval wars from the American Revolution to the present time. In the field of physical fitness, there will be courses given in: Personal and Group Hygiene for Chilian Defense and for the Armed Forces; Foods and Nutrition, in which will be studied normal adequate diets and food budgeting and selection for average families; public health nursing— three courses covering principles, teaching, and field experience in this phase of nursing; and Body Conditioning (physical education for men). In the social sciences, the psychology department plans to offer Propaganda, Morale, Personality Integration m the Present Crisis matics and physics, in addition to some in typewriting and secretarial practice. Courses for teachers and school administrators are offered in the first six-week period, with a wide range available in various fields of school service. Courses in teaching art in elementary and secondary schools will be given on the campus in the art education laboratory. The Cooperative Youth Groups will offer opportunities for the observation of teaching and for demonstrations of types of activities for youth in the early years of secondary school. The Children's Cooperative Groups will be available for demonstrations of nurspry school practice. Visiting Novelist Through the courtesy of the Fenton Foundation, the Summer Session is Davis, nate in having Mr. Clyde Bnon author of The Anointed, The Great Amerilecguest as works, can Novel, and other beginturer and consultant for two weeks ning July 13. fortu- The Laboratory Aids Defense and the sociology department will give a course on the Sociology of Post-War Social Planning. Following the "Good-Neighbor" policy, a course in Spanish Conversation in Castillian and South American will be of value to the language student and future diplomat. Summer Institute A very important contribution to the war program will be the Summer Institute on Day Care of Young Children in Wartime. Since Buffalo is a vital defense area, where large numbers of women will soon be employed in war industries, it is expected that by the fall of 1942 a number of daytime Child Care Centers will have to be set up in Buffalo and surrounding communities. This institute is planned to help meet the need for women trained to take positions of responsibility in such centers. The material presented will center around practical considerations of housing, equipment, staff administration, and child care techniques, including attention to health, food, sleep, play, stories and music for children. This non-credit course is open to women with a high school education, who are between the ages of 18 and 45 years, in good physical health, and with a genuine interest in children. Other Offerings Also contributing to the war effort are courses in chemistry, engineering, mathe- Programs Available High school graduates intending to take the university's accelerated program and thus shorten the length of time needed to complete their regular course may enter the university in the summer period, for which registration is now open. They will find special arrangements to introduce them to college life. The divisions operating through the Summer Session are arts and sciences, library science, business administration, education, nursing and social work. The Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Law are operating on accelerated schedules and have summer terms of their own. Evening instruction will be available in some fields through courses offered by Millard Fillmore College. The recently announced cooperative program of the university, through its School of Education, and the School of Fine Arts of the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy has been to include summer instruction. Under the new arrangement, courses in art and the history of art will be offered hereafter in the studios of the art school, while courses in art education, general courses in education and related general studies to complete degree programs will be given on the campus. extended �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Wallace to be Speaker DR.

Schafer, BA '38, MA '40, has reported to Annapolis for training as a naval ensign, having completed his work early for the Ph.D. degree which he is receiving from the University of Chicago. Rumor has it that some of the men in the group to which former private and now Tech. Sgt. Edwin M. Heary, BS (Bus) '38, belongs are stationed in Madeline Carroll's back yard in Beverly Hills, Calif. It seems, too, that there has been some discussion as to the reason for setting up a machine gun there, a threat which may be sufficiently dire for a certain comedian and the Axis. Field Director Jennings B. Bacon, Soc '41, volunteered some time ago for overseas service with the American Red Cross. Among outposts at which our alumni are stationed are Jamaica, British West Indies, and Dutch Guiana. At the former is First Lt. Joseph W. Puerner, BA '33; at the latter is Capt. Frank T. Riforgiato, MD '39. Notices of promotions for the following "Old-Timers" have been received by the Alumni Office; Robert F. Berner, BS (Bus) '39, from private to corporal; Richard C.

He has been named Hersey professor of the theory and practice of physic in the Harvard Medical School and physician -in chief in the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, his appointTHORN, '29 ment to become effective July 1. The thirty-six year old alumnus and former member of the faculty succeeds the late Dr. Soma Weiss, a distinguished medical authority. Dr. Thorn is at present associate professor of medicine and director of the metabolism department at Johns Hopkins University and is also associated with the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. Thorn has achieved wide recognition in the field of endocrinology. It will be recalled that his work with Dr. Frank A. Hartman in the latter's experiments on the adrenal gland resulted in his receiving a Rockefeller foundation fellowship in 1934. Three years ago, having gone to Johns Hopkins in 1937, he was one of four physicians of that university to whom went recognition for their work in the treatment of Addison's disease in the form of the American Medical Association gold medal for original investigation. The treatment involved the implantation of "seeds"—pellets containing certain chemical substances beneath the skin to assume the function of the adrenal - — glands. Dr. Thorn was a major in Base Hospital 18 at Johns Hopkins but was released so that he might accept the Harvard position. A fellow of the American College of Physicians, Dr. Thorn is a member of the Society for Clinical Investigation, the Association for the Study of Internal Secretions, and Alpha Omega Alpha, honorary medical fraternity. SIGMA XI ELECTS The annual meeting of the Buffalo chapter of Sigma Xi, honorary scientific society, was held on May 26. Elected to take office after the meeting were: president. Dr. Rufus R.

B. Faces Crisis-Alumni Pledge Support The University of Buffalo faces a crisis. The war emergency is seriously affecting its financial status and placing it in a desperate position, where support from alumni and friends is absolutely essential. At the pre-commencement meeting or the University council, Chancellor Samuel P. Capen stated: "The University of Buffalo, in common with most endowed colleges and universities in the United States, is confronted with a serious financial strain as a result of the war emergency. Through the operations of the Selective Service Act, the university has suffered a loss in student enrollment, with a consequent loss in income from students, and anticipates a greater loss in the immediate future. The income from the university's invested funds also has declined and is likely to fall off still further. Moreover, the educational programs instituted by the university to meet wartime conditions have added a considerable financial burden." Council Economizes The first step taken to meet the crisis was the council's adoption of a budget for 1942-1943 which embodies strict economies and in which expenses have been "whittled to the bone." The budget can be balanced, however, only by contributions from loyal alumni and friends. In line with the policy of strict retrenchment, the university has suspended the Bureau of Business and Social Research and the Library Science program. (A few courses in library science will be provided to enable students already enrolled to complete their degree requirements, but no new students will be accepted until further notice.) General Alumni Board Acts The next step in meeting the emergency was taken by the General Alumni Board which met on the eve of commencement. Morey C. Bartholomew, LLB '09, chairman of the Committee on Funds, cited the facts concerning the university's financial crisis and emphasized that an institution which depends on student fees for 80% of its income "faces stark realities due to the demands of the Selective Service on the youth of our area." He also pointed out that "a university cannot cut its expenses like an ordinary mercantile institution," supplies has risen with the general rise of prices makes the position of the university very grave indeed. It is not a situation peculiar to our own institution. A great majority of endowed colleges and universities are finding it impossible to prepare balanced budgets for the coming academic year. It therefore is obvious that friends of higher education must be informed of the dire needs to be met and called upon to take the responsibility of helping to maintain the quality of these institutions. "Annual Giving" Recommended After outlining the urgent necessity for the making of such appeals, Mr. Bartholomew made the concrete proposal that the appeals be made for annual gifts and not primarily fui large cndov/ments. He pointed out that many of the larger colleges and universities have had loyalty or "recurringgift" funds in existence for some time, one for fifty-two years, and that the recipients of the funds were able to depend on these gifts as a sizable source of income each year. While large outright gifts are needed now more than ever, it was considered more practical for the alumni to establish an organization designed to appeal annually for funds. It is felt, too, that such appeals cannot but meet with willing responses from those alumni who realize the responsibility which is theirs and who wish to demonstrate their loyalty to the institution which provided them with such unusual benefits at less than cost.

The added fact that the cost of necessary The members of the board unanimously adopted a resolution accepting the plan in principle and authorizing the committee to proceed with the organization. James McC. Mitchell, LLB '97, chairman of the University council, heartily endorsed the proposal on behalf of the council. Both Dr. Capen and Mrs. Norman P. Clement, the only non-alumni at the meeting, stressed that gifts to the university were really direct contributions to the nation's war effort, inasmuch as the university is doing much more than its share to assist in every possible way by preparing trained personnel in technical and other fields, by giving freely of its faculty and staff despite the resulting sacrifices and hardships, by (Continued on page 2) �UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 2 UNIVERSITY CRISIS (Continued from page 1) expanding its offerings to meet specific wartime needs, and by doing all in its power to help prepare for the post-war world as well. Senior Memorial Pledge Mr. Bartholomew included in his remarks a mention of certain statistics connected with the Senior Memorial Pledge Plan, which he has been supervising as chairman on funds. The amount collected during the first five months of the current year was S4OO, a total equivalent to interest at 4.36% (the average earned last year on university investments) on 59,174.31- This fact was used to support his argument in favor of the annual gift as opposed to the endowment campaign, since the total returns were the result mainly of Sl-a-year gifts from the classes who have joined the plan and still have unfinished pledges. Heartening, too, is the fact that the 1942 seniors joined so enthusiastically that by May 31, 195 of 250 seniors, or 78%, had signed pledges for a total yearly amount of $379, many of them obviously pledging more than one dollar. Until this year, the highest amount pledged was 5285, subscribed by the 276 seniors who joined the plan in 1939. This year's class, therefore, pledged an amount equal to interest per year (at 4.36%) on a capital investment of 58,692.66. Since the pledges run for five years, if five classes each pledged the same amount, the yearly total pledged would be $1,895, equivalent to interest at the above per cent on $43,463.30, an impressive figure indeed. Other Business Transacted Retiring President James E. King, MD '96, introduced the new members of the board and called for reports from the other four vice presidents and from the alumni office secretary. After A. Bertram Lemon, PhG 13, had reported discouraging results for the Committee on Associations and Clubs, it was noted that the coming fund appeal would no doubt serve as a stimulus for club activity by providing the groups with a definite objective. Carleton P. Vernier, PhG '33, reporting for the Committee on Activities, related the history of the Home-Coming celebration and offered several important suggestions for future activities; George G. Davidson, Jr., LLB '97, reporting for the Committee on Bequests, mentioned suggestions which had been made to clients when drawing up wills but stressed the impossibility of claiming definite results in most cases even when gifts to the university were believed to be due to his committee's efforts. The report of Harry C Guess, MD '12, for the Committee on Public Relations, emphasized the means by which more publicity and better public relations might be obtained and lauded the work which had been done by Mrs. Clement, associate secretary, and Ar- ' More New Programs AnswerWar Needs Fairly bristling these days with new courses all designed to contribute greatly to the nation's war program, the university can be justly proud of the role it is playing in these days of all-out effort. At the present time, under the competent organization of Dean Lewis A. Froman, over 100 graduate chemists and chemical engineers of the Lake Ontario Ordnance Plant are being given a special course in the chemistry of explosives. The registrants in the six-week course which began on June 1 represent 34 different universities and colleges. They attend full time, five hours a day. Dean Froman, director of the summer defense-training program, has announced the addition of a new production-control course to the Science and Management Defense Training Program organized by the university under the auspices of the U. S. Office of Education. The tuition-free courses start June 15 and continue through October 2. With a minimum requirement of high school graduation and various additional requirements of college training, industrial experience, or both, these courses are for men employed and seeking employment in defense industries. Two courses are being offered by the School of Business Administration beginning with the summer session on June 29. One, a course preparing women for secretarial and office supervisory work, will be given on either a nine- or twelve-month basis as the student chooses. It is open to graduates of either academic or commercial high school curricula. On completion of the program, a certificate in secretarial and office administration will be awarded and a year's college credit will be granted which may be used immediately or at a later date should the student elect to continue in one of the regular degree programs. University courses such as English, public speaking, economics and accounting will be required in addition to work in special skill subjects. Electives may also be taken. The second new offering is a one-year war-production course to train young men as production supervisors in war industries. Seven local firms, including the two aircraft manufacturers, Bell and CurtissWright, Buffalo Arms, Hewitt Rubber, Buffalo Forge, Houde Engineering and Barcalo Manufacturing, are cooperating in the program designed to meet the coming shortage of supervisory personnel. It is open to high school graduates who will thur I. Goldberg, BA '31, acting director of publicity. All recommendations of the nominating committee, whose report was read by Judge Victor B. Wylegala, LLB '19, were elected by the board. take three sets of courses although some vocational school graduates may be able to shorten this program. The first set will consist of three months' work in economics, English, history, mathematics and public speaking. It will be followed by four months' work in business administration. The third portion will be entirely technical in nature. This month saw also the beginning of a course for physicians of Buffalo and Western New York in the treatment of poison gas victims. The course, given at the Medical school, is sponsored by the school, the Emergency Medical Service and the Erie County Medical Society. Students at the university have been advised of the establishment of the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps, in which superior students may enlist in an inactive status and continue their education. A new program for the master-of-arts degree, designed especially for prospective high-school teachers, will begin on June 29, the date of the opening of the first summer session period. The paper required in the new curriculum will be mainly a review and report of research done, the basis being graduate work in two or more related fields. District Club News LOCKPORT By winning first place in the A division Kenmore gained permanent possession of that division's trophy which it had won on two previous occasions at annual track meets held under the auspices of the Lockport Alumni club. Running, hurdling, vaulting, jumping, shot putting and discus hurling were all engaged in. The B divi- sion honors went to East Aurora. W. Alfred Brim, LLB '28, president of the Lockport group, presented cups to the winning teams. Many of the Lockport alumni as well as several members of the faculty and student athletes of the university acted as officials for the meet which once again proved to be a highly successful event. NEXT BULLETIN IN FALL This is the last issue of the Alumni Bulletin until October. No issues will be published during the summer. The next issue will be sent to Buffalo alumni and friends concurrently with the opening of the 1942-1943 academic year. �ALUMNI BULLETIN 3 Divisional News PHARMACY ALUMNAE The climax of a highly-successful year was the annual dinner held the night after commencement at the Park Lane. Ethel I. Woodward, PhG '11, acted as toastmistress for the affair. Officers who had been elected last month were installed and the group heard Dean of Women Lillias M. Macdonald discuss "The Need of Women in the Professions," stressing the importance of the role women can and must play in these days in particular. The alumnae were very happy to have Miss Mabel I. Brown and Miss Louise F. Gregory of the Pharmacy office and Dr. Margaret C. Swisher, assistant professor of chemistry, join in their festivities. SOCIAL WORK Alumni of the School of Social Work met at the "Riviera" for a luncheon meeting on Commencement Day, June 10th. President Elmer J. Tropman, BA '32, MA '35, Soc '37, presented the results of the self-survey conducted by a committee of the alumni body in an attempt to obtain critical evaluations of the school's offerings and services. Virginia Willis Russell, BA '34, Soc '39, a representative to the General Alumni Board, reported to the group concerning the meeting held the preceding evening. Her remarks concerning the fund-raising appeal shortly to be organized by the alumni were very well received. Last Milestones "78 MD—Chauncey A. Rood of Brocton, N. Y. "89 MD—Charles A.

The new alumni and, for the first time, radio listeners were granted the privilege of hearing Chancellor Samuel P. Capen deliver one of the finest and most significant baccalaureate addresses ever to be heard in the history of the university. After discussing the meaning and importance of America, the Melting Pot, the Chancellor expressed a primary concept of the American way of life in the words, ■'Ours is the supreme example of a volto untary civilization, owing next to nothing to official direction or control, nothing whatever to a stable privileged class, evolving its own leaders, forging its own ever . .. . rising standards of value." Commenting on America in the war, he stated that "Between us and the Axis the conflict is irreconcilable The end must be our absolute triumph, or no American (Ameriwould hold life worth living ca) must inevitably represent to the opponents their most formidable enemy, formidable because of its great resources, but formidable especially by reason of what it stands for. For America is the foremost exponent of those ideals for which the great masses of the Western World have been striving down through the centuries." Assembling on the picturesque moats of Kleinhans Music Hall on June 10, the graduating classes led the faculty and council in the colorful spectacle which is the annual academic procession. Dr. Henry J. Pflum pronounced the invocation. After joining in the singing of ■'America," the graduates heard Chancellor Open comment in his prefatory remarks that universities are equally concerned with science and technology and with the interpretation of "the moral and aesthetic values which are at once the flower and the driving force of our civilization ... the preservation of these values to ourselves and to the world is the very heart of the cause for which the United Nations are fighting." He went on to introduce the commencement speaker, fittingly "a representative of another of the United Nations," Dr. Robert C. Wallace, principal and vice-chancellor of Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario. Dr. Wallace pointed out that "we have learned but little in this day of strife and conflict if we have not learned some simple elemental truths about life and its values property, and wealth, and possessions and rank count for nothing. Courage and fortitude and decency and honor and a sense of the eternal are all that matter." The audience stood during the singing of the "Alma Mater."

This win was followed the next week by a crushing 20-0 victory over St. Lawrence. Lockport's Lou Corriere, left halfback whose stellar form has been made effective by the best line UB has shown in a long time, is pictured below. A few of the others whose splendid playing helped to earn wins in the first two games are: guard Sid Snyder, second game captain, end Dom Grossi, first game captain, end Art Whieldon, center Bud Houser and backs Tom Bowers, Carl Nicosia, Billßudick and Lome Weeks. The Carnegie Tech game on October 24 has been chosen by alumni as the Homecoming Day game. The contest will be staged at the Civic Stadium and is expected to attract a record-breaking crowd. In addition to the main attraction of the game itself, a special feature of the day's festivities will be the performances of the 85-piece Carnegie Tech Kiltie Band whose members chose Buffalo as the one town they would visit with the football team this year. Students are in charge of the parade which will be held in the morning in the downtown area. To conform to a recent War Council edict, the game will be played beginning at 1 P. M.

Bartholomew, LLB '09, vice-president of the General Alumni Board in charge of alumni funds, has announced that 197 members of the 1942 classes have joined the Senior Memorial Pledge plan. This figure represents 7991" of the seniors whose cooperation was solicited. While the original plan called for an annual gift of Si for the five years following graduation, the recent graduates obviously realized the greater needs of the university at the present time and followed the example of some of their predecessors by p'edging amounts ranging from SI to S5, one for "Sl-$10," depending on the pledgor's income. As a result, with 76 pledges for more than one dollar per annum, the total amount pledged by the group for each year is $384, the highest total thus far. If five classes each pledged an equal amount, the pledge per year would be $1920, or interest on a capital of $76,800 invested at the rate of 21/2%. Not only did the 1942 classes indicate that their gift was to be unrestricted as to purpose, the most desirable type of gift for a private institution like ours, but they also decided to give the $145.43 representing the proceeds of their Commencement Ball and Rose Day sale to this same fund.

CONVERTED GAME ROOM IN MIUTARY GUISE THE UNIVERSITY AND THE WAR must make our time tell; and if "We we do, we are serving the nation right here." Thus spake Chancellor Samuel P. Capen in his address to the students at the opening convocation of the university's 97th year. Dr. Capen appealed to them to devote every effort toward helping the country win the war, stressing the importance of the work being done by those preparing to be specialists. Students in the accelerated programs, whose registration in the summer session helped that division set an all-time record of 758 (in the first period), are now enrolled in the first regular session in which acceleration plays an important role. This is but one facet of the university's war time effort. One of the most revolutionary innovations, the housing of army and navy air cadets on campus, has imparted a military aspect to the hitherto strictly civilian atmosphere. The entire third floor of Norton Hall, Student Union building, was converted this summer into a barracks which accommodated 50 air students. There are now 40 navy and 20 army air cadets housed in the gymnasium. These men in uniform, who obtain their meals at Norton cafeteria, take part of their civil-pilot training at the university. Additional classes in radio fundamentals were begun this summer for enlisted Signal Corps Reservists, who take 9 hours of freetuition evening classes per week. They are entitled to deferment for the 8 months of the course, provided they successfully maintain the required standard of work. The university has been permitted to recommend more than 300 campus students for the army's enlisted reserve. After receiving pre-induction training in college, the students are eligible for specialized service and officer training in the army. Both men and women students are eligible to participate in the War Production Student Program which permits full-time undergraduates with satisfactory academic standing to continue their regular programs of study and also to work an average of about 24 hours a week in a war industry. The plan is calculated to aid in providing sorely needed manpower for Buffalo's war industries. Millard Fillmore College has announced that its offerings would include war production training courses for women as well as for men. New courses for instructors in gas defense were begun last month. In addition, a four-year course in X-Ray technology leading to the BA degree was established last June to meet the increased demand for technicians in this field. When it is remembered that the above are in addition to the war-time programs described in previous issues of the Bulletin, it is apparent that the contribution of the university to the nation's all-out effort is a very substantial one.

On the committee appointed by the Council's Committee on General Administration to plan the program were council, alumni, faculty and student members. James McC. Mitchell, LLB '97, President of the Council, presided over the exercises, which were broadcast in part. The entire audience rose spontaneously and applauded vigorously in sincere tribute to Dr. Capen as he arose to acknowledge modestly and graciously the glowing praises v.'hich had been heaped upon him. In his own humble manner, Dr. Capen said he acted as "official spokesman" for the university family of alumni, faculty, students and friends in accepting the testimonials of guest speaker Dr. Harold W. Dodds, President of Princeton University; of John Lord O'Brian, LLB "98, now general counsel of the War Production Board; of New York State Commissioner of Education George D. Stoddard; of the Arts Collegefaculty and of other colleagues and well-wishers. Throughout his remarks, Dr. Open stressed the importance of the role played by its many benefactors and friends in the development of the university, describing presidents and chancellors of educational institutions as "vastly overrated functionaries." In lauding the Chancellor, Dr. Dodds said, "I am not addicted to superlatives but I can say without any mental reservation that I know of no one more aware of the complex elements which, when fused, comprise a university, or more able to combine them effectively in the service of Buffalo, than Dr. Capen." Discussing the role of universities in the war, Dr. Dodds remarked that they "will find themselves by losing themselves in the war effort." In reference to changes being made in college curricula, he stated that the "social cost of losing the war would far transcend the losses involved in the temporary suspension of normal college programs." His opinions on this subject were echoed by Dr. Capen who reminded the gathering that with the students, faculty and council, "the war comes first." Game Draws Alumni Fans The performance of all the Bulls, including the 1500-pound, prize-winning mascot, provided thrills aplenty for the 4672 spectators in the Homecoming Day crowd at the Civic Stadium. The enthusiastic fans cheered lustily and gamely, unwilling to concede defeat until the last whistle blew with our team on the losing end of a 27-14 score. Finishing the game with a plucky last-quarter drive, the Bulls had every loyal rooter cheering madly as they fought not only a superior Carnegie Tech force but also that intangible feeling of awe created by the presence of an unusually large University of Buffalo cheering section in the vast stadium. Altogether, the "bigness" of it all would have been sufficient to stampede the stoutest of hearts but our team acquitted itself nobly in this, its first Civic Stadium fiame. A special feature of the day was the spectacle of the 85-piece Carnegie Tech Kiltie Band, whose precise, perfectly marshalled drills drew hearty and well-deserved app'ause from the stands. Those who are not in a position to follow the Buffalo team's record will be pleased SAMUEL PAUL CAPEN After the formal exercises, a reception was held in the lounging rooms of Norton hall which was richly decorated for the occasion and fairly exuded hospitality. Alumni News Brevities ■08 LLB—Myron S. Short received two signal honors recently.

More recently, the alumnae sponsored its increasingly successful annual tea for outstanding high school seniors. Norton's private dining rooms bulged with the 100-odd alumnae, campus students and high school girls. Those who attended were heartened by this lively interest taken in the university and by the responsiveness of these girls to ideas about women's role in education, home and the war. In lieu of a theater party this year, the alumnae are hoping to build up their scholarship fund by setting aside part of the dues collected. On December 8, the alumnae will hear a speaker from the Civilian Defense Council. The meeting will be held at 8:15 P. M. at the College Club, 264 Summer Street. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Recently a mailing went out to all graduates in this division, appealing for contributions to the association's athletic scholarship fund. Marshall K. Stoll, BS (Ed) '36, chairman of the fund committee, reports that returns have been good but not complete.

The general theme of this year's series is "Planning a Better World." The programs, on each of which appear three faculty participants, are heard over WBEN at 10:30 on Monday nights. In addition, Dr. Wilfred B. Kerr is giving a series of six weekly talks over WBEN on the subject, "Our British Ally." Associate Professor of History, Dr. Kerr conducts the courses offered by that department on English and Continental Affairs. University News FACULTY FLASHES Dr. John C. Adams, instructor in history and government, has been commissioned a lieutenant (jg) in the navy, to work in Naval Communications. Ernest J. Brown, professor of law recently on leave with the legal staff of the War Production Board, entered the army last month as a private. Part of a unit which established an advanced L*. S. Air Base in Libya was Capt. Roger W. Gratwick, formerly in charge of placement in the Personnel Bureau and commissioned in the air corps last spring. Dr. Edward S. Jones, director of the bureau of personnel research since 1926, has been appointed dean of students. Joseph S. Rounds, librarian-"aT the'Grosvenor Library and director of the library science program at the university, has also entered the army as a private. He has been succeeded by Dean Julian Park of the College of Arts and Sciences, who was named acting librarian. Dean Park will continue to fulfill completely his duties at the college, joining the library on a part-time basis. Acting Dean Claude E. Puffer of the School of Business Administration has been named economic advisor to the Price Division of the OPA's Buffalo office. WAR PROGRAMS The University of Buffalo has pledged its co-operation with the Army and Navy cadet program and is busily gearing its facilities to that end. The Office of War Training, with Dr. Lewis A. Froman as director, has been created to handle war courses and programs. In addition to supervising the Signal Corps training, under which 800 men are now studying part-time, the aeronautical, engineering, science and management and aviation cadet training (in which 80 men are now enrolled), this office will supervise the recently-established short wartraining courses. These courses vary in length from four to sixteen months and are designed primarily for those entering service. With a semester of approximately 4 months in length, the figures given after these new programs indicate the number of semesters needed to complete the work: Basic Training for Military Service, 3; Jun- Mitchell N.Y. Bar Head James McCormick Mitchell, LLB '9", chairman of the University council since 1937, will be the next president of the New York State Bar Association, having been chosen unanimously by the nominating committee, the election to be held at the annual meeting in January. A member of the association for 40 years MITCHELL, 97 and vice president from this district in 1929, Mr. Mitchell is the seventh Buffalonian in the organization's 67-year history to be selected for this position, which is considered next in prestige to the presidency of the American Bar Association. Morey C. Bartholomew, LLB '09, vicepresident from the Eighth Judicial District for six years, has been nominated to the executive committee. ■ ior Accountants, 2; Junior Statisticians, 2; Analytical Chemists, 3; Junior Chemical Technologists, 4; Secretarial Training, 2 or 3; Junior Technical Biologists, 3; Junior Physicists, 3; and Pre-Flight Training, 1. These new courses, which have received the approval of representatives of the military services, have the additional advantage that the work done in them may be applied at some later time towards a degree in the same field. In keeping with its policy of trying to make it possible for young men to obtain a complete college education under an accelerated" plan for a short specific college program before they reach draft age, the university will take in a new class of freshmen at the beginning of the second semester and will also admit superior students whose high-school programs will not be completed until June. The latter plan is the result of the success of an experiment tried last year, when five boys from the top fifth of their high school classes entered the university and achieved "B" averages in their courses. They easily completed the required Regents examinations in June without attending their final high schtKil term. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Up to the first World War this was the only important institutional contribution that they made. Colleges were apparently thought to be luxuries which could safely be dispensed with in war time. But by 1914 war itself had undergone a profound change. The first World War was a war not of armies alone, but of peoples. Each belligerent's full resources of manpower and productive capacity were drawn upon. Moreover, by 1914 war had become an intellectual pursuit. Armies needed large numbers of men of intelligence, technicians and experts of many kinds. And back of the armies still greater numbers of specialists were needed; not to carry on business as usual but to design and produce engines of destruction; to organize the transformation of civilian life which war demanded; to conserve, direct and operate the thousand and one services essential to effective military effort. In a peoples' war two types of agencies proved to be as necessary to success as the armies themselves: the agencies supplying equipment and transportation, and the agencies for training specialists. The Germans' war plans included the appropriate organization of the whole population to maintain the production of both military supplies and skills and provided for the assignment of the best brains of the country to tasks requiring special intellectual competence. The British failure to deal with this issue had especially tragic consequences. In the first year of the war Britain allowed its universities and other training agencies to be decimated. By 1916 thousands of irreplaceable scientists, engineers and other specialists had met death in the trenches as privates and junior officers of the line. On America's entry, military and scientific missions from the Allies visited Washington and solemnly warned us not to make the same error. They told us that at all costs we must keep the universities and technical schools in full operation; at all costs we must use our experts where their services counted for most. During the first year of America's participation no effective steps were taken to profit by the experience of the Allies. Ultimately the United States devised more thorough-going means for the classification and utilization of its human resources than did any of the Allies. But it bungled the business of protecting and developing the agencies of training. It was sheer good luck for the Uniccd States that the war ended before the shortage of hiphly trained experts became disastrously acute. The inference from the foregoing is that universities are indispensable to the successful conduct of total war. They are absolutely indispensable as instruments for training engineers, physicists, chemists, bacteriologists, meteorologists, physicians, dentists, accountants, statisticians, personnel managers, linguists and scores of other specialists. Universities arc indispensable also as centers of research and as reservoirs of research talent. Competent investigators are to be found and they have been sought by our government chiefly in the universities from among the faculties and advanced students. And civilian life goes on. Universities cannot abrogate their peace time responsibilities and devote all their resources to preparing specialists for direct participation in war, because out of the universities and colleges comes the major part of the trained intelligence that is essential for the operation of the basic services of production and distribution on which our civilization rests. Instead of being reduced by deliberately adopted government policies, their productive capacity should be doubled. At the outset of the present war the British government took steps to prevent the raiding of university staffs and student bodies by either the military or the civilian services. Essential teachers were withheld from military service. Joint boards representing the armed forces and the institutions were set up in each university to pass on the recruitment or deferment of students. University courses have been accelerated and in some cases abbreviated, and special short courses in technical subjects have been introduced. Enrollments in British universities have declined about twentyhve per cent; but in view of the desperate need of Britain for active defenders, it is an extraordinary achievement to have preserved the higher schools with only this degree of impairment: The Canadian policies by somewhat different means have achieved the same ends; and thus far without anything like as serious a loss in student enrollment. If it were clear that colleges and universities could safely be suspended or that their suspension would lead to an earlier victory of our arms, few college officers or trustees would raise any objection to — — governmental acts tending to undermine the colleges or even to close them. But the reverse is clear. Colleges and universities are essential war industries. Their serious impairment promises certain national disaster if the war should last as long as three years. In so far as the government's policies toward higher education reveal any opinion held in common by the several branches, the opinion is this. Higher education in the liberal arts is of no usefulness in the conduct of a war. In my judgment this position ignores both the basic tradition of America and the larger aims of the United Nations in the war. Despite all the changes in and expansions of the college curriculum during the last two generations, the American collegeis still devoted to the identification and study of values, especially moral and spiritual values. This is what is meant by liberal education. If there ever was a time when the world needed education conceived and conducted in the liberal spirit, that time is now. The so-called humanities are the repositories of the moral and aesthetic values which the Western World has been distilling out of human experience since the rise of Athenian civilization. They represent the complete antithesis of the National-Sozialistische Weltanschauung. These are our real home fires. How are they to be kept burning if not in and by the colleges? Teachers of the humanities may feel that since their work makes no direct contribution to the manufacture of munitions or the training of specialists for the services, it is now of slight importance. They are abysmally mistaken. For the teachers of the humanities, if they do their job well, are defending the essential America, which is invisible. Theirs primarily is the task of leading young people to the insights and convictions which those must have who will mold the public opinion on which alone a just and durable peace can rest. To adjourn this function of the colleges of liberal arts, or to strip these institutions to the bare bones of science and technology, would be to dilute one of the principal elements of America's strength in war as well as in peace. THE SPECIAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO TO THE WAR Several of the university's direct contributions to the war effort antedate the involvement of the United States in hostilities. The co-operative industrial training program inaugurated by the university in �3 ALUMNI BULLETIN 1940 was designed to prepare skilled personnel for a group of defense industries in this area. In many instances the young men in this program proved themselves so valuable after a few months of training that they were induced to take up fulltime employment. The recruitment of new students for the co-operative program in the latter part of 1941 also became increasingly difficult. With the assent of the cooperating industrialists it was therefore decided to abandon the undertaking at the end of the first sixty-four week period. Since September, 1939 the university has participated in the Civil Pilot Training Program conducted under the direction of the Civil Aeronautics Authority. During the year under review 100 students have completed the primary course and 72 the secondary course. In 1940 the federal government appropriated funds which could be distributed only to approved four-year engineering schools to establish courses in engineering subjects for the benefit of persons in defense industries. Since the University of Buffalo did not have a four-year engineering school, federal funds for the support of engineering courses in this area were instead made available to Cornell University. The University of Buffalo endeavored to co-operate in the enterprise by furnishing quarters for the conduct of these courses and by lending the services of some of its instructors. In the summer of 1941 a new federal appropriation was made which provided for subsidizing training in management and science as well as in engineering. The courses offered under this appropriation were then officially called Engineering, Science, Management and Defense Training. The United States Office of Education approved the University of Buffalo for offerings in the fields of science and industrial management. Between September, 1941 and July, 1942 the university has offered courses in Industrial Safety, Personnel Management, Industrial Supervision. Industrial Chemistry, Industrial Accounting and Cost Analysis, Geometrical Optics and Fundamentals of Radio. It has conducted classes in Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Dunkirk, Jamestown and Lockport. The federal government pays the whole cost of instruction, equipment, supplies and administration. Students pay no tuition and receive no university credit on completion of a course. In February, 1942 the Chemical Construction Corporation which had been designated to have charge of the new TNT plant being built near Lewiston, New York, requested the university to set up a special course in the chemistry of explosives for the technical and supervisory personnel of the plant. The university consented to undertake the task and on June Ist, 1942, 110 recent college graduates reported for the course of instruction. Quarters in private houses in the vicinity of the campus were obtained for them; their meals were furnished by the cafeteria of Norton hall. Immediately after the attack on the United States, December 7th, 1941, the several faculties and the administrative officers ser about the reorganization of all programs of instruction. By the elimination of the summer vacation period and the shortening of other vacations, degree courses which normally demand four academic years could be compressed into three years, or slightly less, without reducing their intellectual content. A campus Summer Sesending sion beginning June 29th and September 18th was accordingly provided. The School of Medicine decided to accelerate its program by operating throughout four quarters of equal length, and admitting new students hereafter only at the beginning of the summer quarter. The School of Law arranged to make it possible for the present second year class to graduate at the end of December, 1942. The School of Pharmacy made it possible for its present junior class to graduate in January, 1943, sophomore class in janu ary, 1944 and freshman class in June, 1944. The School of Dentistry, having operated for a number of years on an all year round basis, was the only division of the university that did not need to alter its calendar in order to provide an accelerated program. The School of Business Administration has organized two new one-year programs of study not leading to degrees, intended primarily to benefit the war industries of this region. One of these is a twelvemonth program of study for the preparation of war production supervisors. The second program is a twelve-months' intensive course designed to prepare women for secretarial and office supervisory work. During the spring of 1942 both the Navy and the Army established enlisted reserves in approved colleges and universities. The Navy's plan provides that freshmen and sophomores in good academic standing who can meet the physical qualifications may enlist in what is called V-l. At approximately the end of the second academic year they are examined to determine their ability, their aptitude and their possession of the qualities required in an officer. Those who pass then have the choice of enrolling in V-5 as aviation cadets and being sent to the Navy's training centers, or of enrolling in V-7 as candidates for training as engineering or deck officers. The members of the latter ejroup are expected to remain in college until they have completed their courses of study. Any men who fail to satisfy either the academic standards, or the Navy's standards of personal qualifications, are subject to immediate call to active duty as apprentice seamen. The provisions of tlv Army Enlisted Reserve plan are similar, except that the Army has announced that it expects to call to active duty its student reservists as soon as they arrive at draft age. Certain of those studying for important technical specialties will then be ordered to complete their course of academic training; the others are to be inducted as privates and after completing their basic training may apply for admission to an officers training school. Students of medicine and dentistry may enlist in the Medical or Dental Reserve Corps. The military service of those so enlisted is deferred until their graduation, when they pass automatically into the medical or dental service of the Army or of the Navy. When the College of Arts and Sciences adopted the tutorial plan of instruction in 1931 it abolished all fixed requirements, including that of physical education for freshman and sophomore students. Of the undergraduate divisions of the university only the School of Pharmacy has of late retained the requirement. In the spring of 1941 physical education was made compulsory for both men and women students of all classes. Beginning with the second semester of the year under review a number of new courses especially designed to prepare both civilians and members of the armed forces for war service were offered. In collaboration with the Red Cross and the mculty of the School of Nursing, courses in First Aid, Nutrition and Home Nursing and Child Care were offered to undergraduates. Courses in Navigation and Piloting, in Naval History, in Military Hygiene and Sanitation were offered especially for men undergraduates. The School of Pharmacy broadened its services to alumni and other pharmacists of this area by offering its facilities in First Aid instruction. Members of the Department of Chemistry conducted the Erie County School for Gas Defense. Members of the same department also were engaged in confidential research on a problem of military importance. Members of the faculties of all divisions participated in two series of weekly round table discussions over the radio. The first series dealt with controversial questions bearing on the internal and foreign policies of the United States. The second series was designed particularly to help high school students and graduates in determining their future careers and was entitled "After High School." The university has been alert to adapt itself to the changing posture of national affairs and to the new educational demands that are constantly being made of the institutions of higher learning by the government and by the communities in which they are located. All the faculties have committees at work constantly exploring desirable modifications of the offerings of their respective divisions and seeking new ways by which the university, within the limitations of its resources, may serve the national cause more effectively. �4 The university has made another direct contribution to the war effort which has cost it dear. It has contributed many of its ablest teachers and administrators to the government for service in research and administrative agencies or in the armed forces. In addition to those granted leave of absence for governmental service during the previous academic year, the following have been given leave during the year from July 1, 1941 to June 30. 1942: Dean Ralph C. Epstein of the School of Business Administration, Professor Norman L. Burton, Professor John D. Sumner, Associate Professor Carleton F. Scofield, Associate Professor George W. Fiero and Assistant Professor Clyde A. Hutchison. Earl J. McGrath, Dean of Administration, was granted leave of absence during the second semester to serve as consultant to the Navy Department and later with the War Manpower Commission. Fritz Machlup, Goodyear Professor of Economics, was relieved of his teaching duties for the coming academic year to conduct a research project financed by a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. Leaves of absence were granted to the following members of the staff serving with the armed forces: Captain Frederick J. Holl, Captain Joseph H. Frazer, Captain Roger W. Gratwick, Ensign Arthur G. Humes, Private Robert M. Boltwood, Lieutenant Commander Howard A. Dennee, M. D., Colonel Harry G. Johnson, M.D., Major John Burke, M.D., Captain M. Luther Musselman, M.D. SUBSIDIES AND GIFTS TO AID STUDENTS For students pursuing an accelerated program of study there is no longer any opportunity to work during vacation periods and count on their earnings to help finance their education. In the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Business Administration the accelerated program is optional. In the Schools of Medi&&*, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Law the accelerated program is the only one of- fered. The university's funds for scholarships and loans are too small to cover the needs of deserving students even in normal times. The Deans of the several professional schools have feared that many able students would be obliged to drop out of these divisions for lack of means to pay tuition and other fees. In the spring of 1942, as this problem began to present itself, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek, Michigan, generously came to the rescue of the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing. It made grants, outright gifts, of $10,000.00 to the School of Medicine, $10,000.00 to the School of Dentistry and $4,000.00 to the School of Nursing to be used for scholarships and loans for the benefit of students in these divisions. UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Twice during the year under review the United States Public Health Service has approved appropriations from federal funds for scholarships to be used for students in advanced courses in the School of Nursing. The total of the appropriations made for this purpose was $4,010.00. As this report is being prepared the university has been given to understand that it will receive a portion of the federal .ippropriation of 35,000,000.00 authorized on June 30th, 1942 to provide loans to students of engineering, physics, chemistry, medicine, dentistry and pharmacy who are pursuing accelerated programs. THE ENROLLMENT AND THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE UNIVERSITY The total enrollment for the year under review was 4945. This represented a decline of 2.06 per cent from the enrollment of the preceding year. Of the total number 1786 were regular students in the full-time day divisions. The enrollment in these divisions declined 6.4 per cent. The Summer Session of 1941 recorded a loss in enrollment of 1.43 per cent over that of the preceding year. The advance in enrollment in the Millard Fillmore College was 4.58 per cent. These figures do not take into account 1331 students enrolled in the Engineering, Science, Management and Defense Training Courses described above. For these courses no university credit is given, and hence the students are not university students in the ordinary meaning of the term. Some further analysis of the enrollment figures may serve to throw light on certain of the problems of staffing and financing that the university now faces. The Schools of Law, Education, Social Work and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences deal in the main with older students, practically all of them of draft age. It was expected that the losses in these divisions would be high during the year covered by this report. To everyone's surprise the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences actually enrolled one more student in 1941-1942 than in the preceding year. The enrollment in the School of Business Administration declined approximately 15 per cent; in the School of Education, 28.72 per cent; in the School of Social Work, 28.8 per cent; and in the School of Law, 30.48 per cent. The College of Arts and Sciences once more demonstrated its essential stability, its enrollment declining only approximately 3 per cent during the year under review. It seems clear that the university is only just beginning to feel the impact of the war on its enrollment. The downward trends in the Schools of Law, Business Administration and Education and Social Work will undoubtedly be accentuated during the next academic year. The drop in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, which was expected this year, will almost certainly take place. Law schools and graduate schools throughout the United States are in the most exposed positions of all university divisions and have suffered the most serious losses. Although the drop in the number of students in our own Law school may have seemed to us catastrophic, actually our school has had a smaller percentage of loss than most of the leading law schools of the country. The shortage of physicists, chemists, meteorologists and other scientific experts can be made good in part only by continuing and increasing the output of the graduateschools. It is expected that graduate students in these lines will continue to be deferred. Since schools of education and of social work have large enrollments of women, their student bodies are not likely to decline in numbers below a certain point that may be estimated with approximate accuracy. Signs are beginning to appear that specialists in accounting, statistics and certain aspects of applied economics will soon be needed in much larger numbers, both foi service in the armed forces and for the supporting civilian activities governmental and non-governmental. It is possible that the production of these specialists will become a military necessity, in which case deferments will have to be granted to students preparing themselves for these specialties. The professional schools preparing students for the health services occupy a preferred position. Larger numbers of doctors, dentists, nurses and pharmacists are needed both in the armed services and in civil life than can now be produced by all of the country's training agencies. Our own Schools of Medicine and Dentistry have for several years been running practically at capacity. Their enrollments are expected to remain stable for the duration of the war. The enrollment of the School of Pharmacy shows a small increase, the enrollment of the School of Nursing a very substantial increase, in the year under review. In view of the decline in the general enrollment of the university already noted, and especially in view of the very uncertain prospects confronting several of its largest divisions, the preparation of the budget for the academic year 1942-1943 presented unusual difficulties. The income for the year 1941-1942 was $23,892.82 less than for the preceding year. A further decline in total income could almost certainly be counted upon. But no university officer could estimate with accuracy how much the decline would be. Those responsible for the preparation of the budget for the year 1942-1943 could feel no confidence in their estimates.

The balance sheet, Exhibit "A," shows endowment assets of 56,156,282.68; plant assets of $7,066,652.87; and operating assets of $168,441.94. On June 30, 1942 the total funds in the endowment account were 56.156.282.68, as shown in Exhibit "A." On June 30, 1941 the total funds were 36,081,170.21. The net increase for the year, therefore, in endowment funds was $75,112.47. Schedule "A-l" is an exhibit nf the special purpose funds of the university, which, at June 30, 1942, totalled $4,245,224.16. an increase of $62,434.31 over the preceding year. Exhibit "B" is an analysis of plant assets of the university at the close of the fiscal year on June 30, 1942. The value of the plant assets on June 30, 1941 was $7,044,735.13. The value of the plant assets on June 30, 1942 was 37,066,599.24. The increase during the year covered by this report, therefore, was $21,864.11. Fortunately the physical plant of the university has been kept in excellent condition so that through these critical days a minimum of upkeep and repair will be necessary. The total operating income for the year was $1,076,286.99; the total operating disbursements were $1,018,183.23. The year, therefore, closed with an apparent net surplus of $58,103.76. Of this amount, $44,643.96 was carried over from surpluses of preceding years so that the true earned surplus for the year covered by this report was $13,459.80.

It is noted that fees received from students during the year covered by this report were $41,516.38 less than during the year 1940-41, a decline of 4.76 per cent. This decline was last year compensated for in part by two principal factors: first, a decrease of $24,299.75 in salaries of instruction, largely because of the departure of members of the faculty on leave with the armed services or in government bureaus or research work; second, an increase in the amount of income from endowment. Only one of these two compensating items is likely to continue, namely, the calling of members of the faculty to government service. Income from endowment is not likely to increase unless endowment funds substantially increase because bonds of the character purchased for university accounts are today yielding a lower return on the investment than they have at any time in the last forty years. Of the total expenses of the university for the year ended of instruction; 60.6 June 30, 1942, 53.9 per cent was for salaries per cent was for salaries of instruction, plus supplies used in instruction and operation and maintenance of libraries. United States, state and municipal government bonds, purchased by the university, yielded an average income of 3.47 per cent cent; on the actual investment; foreign government bonds, 4.59 per railroad bonds, 4.51 per cent; public utility bonds, 4.86 per cent; industrial bonds, 5.05 per cent; miscellaneous bonds, all gifts, 1.97 per cent; stocks, 4.44 per cent; real estate mortgages and mortgage certificates, .9 per cent. The average yield on all stocks and bonus purchased and owned by the university, and excluding gifts, was 144 per cent for the year. On June 30, 1942 the stocks and bonds in the university portfolio which had been purchased by the university, and excluding gifts, were classified as follows on the basis of market worth: United States, state, municipal and foreign government bonds, 27.5 per cent; railroad bonds, 7.8 per cent; public utility bonds, 8.6 per cent; industrial bonds, 2.1 per cent; public utility preferred stocks, 13.7 per cent; industrial preferred stocks, 4.9 per cent; investment trust preferred stocks, 2.2 per cent; bank pr-ferred stocks, 1.4 per cent; rail common stocks, .7 per cent mblic utility common stocks, 1.8 per cent; industrial common ,:ocks, 16.8 per cent; bank capital stocks, 2.8 per cent; insurance common stocks, 6.6 per cent; and investment trust common stocks, 3.1 per cent. The list continues to be well diversified and of high quality. Gifts and bequests received during the year which ended June 30, 1942 included the following: Estate of Smith M. Flickinger for the establishment of the "Smith M. Flickinger Scholarship in Economics," 410,000; Mr. and Mrs. George F. Rand, $5,000; addition to Seymour H. Knox Foundation, $3,536.62; Estate of George T. Weed, $3,500; Frederick B. Cooley, $3,000; Mrs. Norman E. Mack, $2,000; addition to Dr. Charles Cary Memorial Fund, $1,764.55; Barmon Brothers, $1,500; Estate of Philip Kirwen, $1,453.35; George R. Feme, $1,000. Mention should be made of an important gift to the university made in the closing months of the year covered by this report, by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek, Michigan.

The Kellogg Foundation gave to the university $24,000 to be awarded as grants or loans during the academic year 1942-45, to such students of limited means. The university has closed each of the last nine years with a small but satisfactory balance in its operating account. Unless all signs fail, June 30, 1942 closed an v epoch in this respect. The years immediately ahead are troublous and uncertain ones. Before this report reaches the hands of the members of the council, the Congress will have adopted legislation reducing the draft age to 18 years. The impact will be tremendous on every college and university in the land. While our Schools of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy will be little affected, the effect on the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Schools of Business and Law will be exceedingly grave. The invasion of registration in those colleges can be alleviated only by such arrangements as can be made with the Army and Navy Departments for specialized training of men in the armed forces, using the educational facilities of the university. In what measure these facilities will be used by the government is wholly uncertain. At best the university maj have to face an operating deficit rather than an operating surplus for the fiscal year begun July 1, 1942. To avoid such deficit the university must rely on the contributions of its alumni and friends. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE D. CROFTS, students have Comptroller.

With great reluctance the chancellor asked the council to approve the discontinuance of two important enterprises. lcPaid Permit No. 31 I Buffalo, N. Y. a recent meeting of Alpha Omega Alpha, national honorary medical society, the following senior medical students were elected to membership: Anthony B. Constantine, BA "38, John M. Donahue, Wyllys A. Dunham, Norman Haber. BA '39, Thomas R. Humphery. Ruth F. Krauss. - The oldest of these was the Library Science Course which was organized in 1920. The enrollment in this course had fallen off sharply. It could only be continued at a substantial loss, and through the period of the war would apparently benefit only a small handful of students. The other undertaking suspended for the period of the war was the Bureau of Business and Social Research. This bureau had been operating thirteen years and had rendered useful service to the business community of the Niagara Frontier. Nevertheless, in this period of emergency it seemed to be an activity that could be suspended. For several years there has been an annual operating surplus. Since 1936 it has been necessary to appropriate a part or all of this surplus each June to balance the budget for the ensuing fiscal year. The budget adopted by the council in June, 1941 appropriated from the surplus of the year then closing $36,718.65 to balance the budget for the year 1941-1942. The actual surplus on June 30th 3 1941 was $44,-643.96. During the year under review emergencies arising in connection with the war effort made it necessary to make additional appropriations which practically wiped out this surplus. After all possible reductions in estimates had been made, the budget presented to the council for adoption to cover the operations of the year 1942-1943 appropriated 540,000.00 from the estimated surplus of the year closing June 30th, 1942, and carried a deficit in the amount of $15,295.93. If the estimated deficit, or any part of it, or a larger deficit, should be actually incurred, it is obvious that there can be no surplus in June, 1943 from which sums can be taken to balance a budget for the ensuing year. Frederick J. Loomis, Walter R. Petersen. Tames W. Taft and Frederick B. Wilkes. The sophomore and junior medical students elected to membership in the James A.

Please send notes and news about these graduates to the Alumni Office, Crosby Hall. THE NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY The university needs, as it has not needed for many years, the help of its alumni and of its friends. It needs their help in order that it may continue to render indispensable services to the nation at war. With its normal sources of income impaired, the quality of these services must inevitably deteriorate, unless during the emergency receives substantial contributions. Additions to the general endowment, or the endowment of professorships, are the most useful as well as the most permanent contributions. It is to be hoped that many of the university's friends will be able, even in these times of financial stress, to make contributions to its permanent funds. It seems patent, however, that the income which may be derived from this source will not suffice for the university's urgent immediate needs. To meet these some kind of sustaining fund derived from annual contributions, large and small, is plainly required. I would urge upon the council that it make every effort during the forthcoming year to establish such a fund. Respectfully submitted, SAMUEL P. CAPEN.

ALUMNAE February first meeting of the alumnae, two speakers brought the war home to their listeners with vividness of detail their keynote. Lt. Madeleine Murphy, WAAC, of the Buffalo recruiting office, described the opportunities open to At the women in army service and discussed the types of activities in which these women engage, from the time of their application to their final assignment. She was followed by Dr. Nathaniel F. Cantor, LLB '29, whose thoughts on "Mental Hygiene and the War" offered suggestions for adjusting to the tensions and anxieties resulting from a sense of insecurity and restlessness. He stated that one way to overcome the "gnawing sense of insecurity" was to nurture a deep conviction of the fundamental soundness of the democratic way of life, which, to him, consists essentially "of an unshakable belief in the dignity of every human being and his right to be different." The next meeting of the group will be held on March 15 at the Albright Art Gallery. Miss Ann Shepard will address the group. Friday. January 22, at the Harvard Club in New York City. James McC.

Co-operating with local hospitals in the preparation of student nurses, the School of Nursing is offering a pre-clinical course covering the instruction usually given in the first six-month period in a nursing school together with certain general academic courses. It was explained that, while the student would enter the hospital school of nursing upon completion of the pre-clinical work to pursue the regular professional course, she would have to take fewer courses in the hospital than at the present time, and would be able to assume responsibility sooner.

The fledgling fliers arrived on Feb. 28 and are now well started on their five-months' training program. They are housed in Norton and fed in its dining room. Their commanding officer, Capt.

Marching into the classroom under 'he direction of a "marcher"—chosen from their own group—the cadets remain standing until the instructor enters, whereupon the leader calls the group to attention. He then salutes the instructor, who returns the salute. After the leader's roll-call report, the instructor turns to the group, saying, "Gentlemen, be seated." The trainees follow such military procedures as making their own beds, keeping their uniforms clean and bright and taking guard duty. Norton Hall is now guarded at night by soldiers who carry guns and challenge civilians with the traditional "Who and English will consume 60 hours each.

The physical training is designed to prepare the soldiers to absorb future intensive training without undue fatigue or ill effects.

At the end of the quarantine period, the usual military system was set up. The soldiers obtain passes for even brief leaves from their post and must be in by 11:30 P. M. on week nights and by 2 A. M. on goes Saturday nights. Nature of Training The five months of cadet training will include academic instruction, physical, military and pre-flight training. Not all the work will be of a technical nature for these trainees will also receive a general foundation in concentrated academic courses. Major stress, however, will be placed upon physics, with a schedule calling for 60 hours of lecture and 120 hours of laboratory work.

The seventy-four students thus affected were honored at a reception given by other students and the faculty in the new home of Norton Union. Norton Closed to Students Chancellor Capen in his message to the student body informing them of Norton Hall's closing, said: "Naturally the Council regrets the necessity of depriving the student body of the center of social life of the campus. I am sure, however, that the students will be glad to make this sacrifice in the interest of the training plans of the armed forces.' New recreation quarters have been established on the second floor of Edmund Hayes Hall and include a large lounge, a dining room seating 80 persons, rooms for organization sessions and studies and game tables and paraphernalia. Operated by the FACULTY BRIEFS Senior Memorial Grows Dr. Richard M.

James Newton, a Buffalonian, has been appointed as assistant professor of education to succeed Lawrence Pape, who Although only two months have elapsed since the mailing of the first "43 reminders to Senior Memorial pledgors, more than S4OO has already been received from those graduates interested in fulfilling the pledges they made at commencement time. A surprising amount has come from men in service who give as well as pass the ammunition. One of the servicemen's contributions was enclosed with a note which read in part as follows: "I received a letter reminding me that the time had arrived for me to make my first payment to the Alumni Fund. I still have a dollar bill on me so I thought I would put it 'o use. Enclosed you will find one dollar in Here's wishcash to put me up to date. ing you 1009£ success with the rest of my classmates." An unusually good return has also come from alumni who made "oversize" pledges of from S2 to S5 a year. One unique payment was made by an alumnus who said in a note to his fund agent that his check included an extra dollar, "for interest." The sentiments of many who have allowed some time to elapse before heeding their reminders are contained in notes similar to the following: "I am very much ashamed that this matter was not attended to long ago. I may seem to be a very ungrateful Alumnus where financial matters are concerned but believe me I can never thank the Alma Mater for what she has done for me.—Yours for better relations m future causes." If you have put off making your payment, why not dig down and send it to the Alumni Office, Crosby Hall. Do it noic, while you remember. has entered the Navy.

COMMISSIONER STODDARD, DR. THORN AND CHANCELLOR CAPEN In recognition of his "eminent services in the alleviation of human suffering, the Council of the University of Buffalo last month awarded the Chancellor's Medal to George Widmer Thorn, MD "29, "physiologist, chemist, physician, acknowledged leader in the young science of endocrinology, master of both the art and the science of medicine.' The presentation of the medil was one of the traditional features of the forty-third annual mid-year convocation exercises held on Feb. 22 at Kieinhans Music Hall. The tall, blond, unassuming native Butfalonian at present holds what is commonly regarded as the most distinguished chair of medicine in this country, the Hersey professorship of the theory and practice of physic in the Harvard Medical School. He is also surgeon-in-chief at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston. Now 37 years old, he is the youngest to hold the Hersey chair even as he is the youngest to receive this accolade, the university's only award. He is the third graduate of the university to be thus honored, Chauncey J. Hamlin, LLB 05, and John Lord O'Brian, LLB '98, having received the medal in 1931 and in 1940 respectively. The Chancellor's Medal, it will be remembered, was established in the will of the late Chancellor Charles P. Norton "to personify civic patriotism and vivify public service in the eyes of the citizens of Buffalo." " Earns Spurs in Field of Endocrinology After graduation. Dr. Thorn became instructor in medicine and physiology at the Medical school and was associated for five years with Dr. Frank A. Hartman in the experiments on the adrenal gland that led the discovery of cortin. remedy for Addidisease. Awarded a Rockefeller Foundation fellowship in 1934 as a result of his experiments here, he pursued further studies in metabolic and endocrine diseases at Harvard, Ohio State and Johns Hopkins, in 1937 joining the staffs of the Johns Hopkins Medical School and Hospital. Centering his most important studies about the adrenal gland, he was the first to use a special synthetic hormone in the treatment of Addison's disease. He also devised a method of administering this hormone by implanting it in pellets beneath the skin, the chemical substance spreading from there through the body to supply the function of deficient adrenal glands. His work has resulted in a decrease in the mortalityl rate of this disease from over eighty to less than fifteen per cent. The Chancellor also announced that Dr. Thorn is at present engaged in a series of confidential researches for the armed forces bearing on certain physiological problems of high altitude flyto son's ing. In 1939 Dr. Thorn won the highest recognition which can be attained by a medical scientist in America, the gold medal of the American Medical Association, awarded for his original contributions to the treatment of Addison's disease. In his presentation address, Chancellor Capen said that those who were once Dr. Thorn's colleagues cherish his honors "all the more because he has worn them with such unassuming simplicity, and because they are to him an inconsequential byproduct of a beneficent activity to which he is single-mindedly devoted." 70 Degrees and Certificates Conferred The following were awarded at the exbachelor of arts, 21; ercises: degrees — "The Weapons of Education" Dr. George D. Stoddard, new commissioner of education and president of the University of the State of New York, was the principal speaker at the convocation. Asserting that "education, from the cradle up, is a dangerous weapon," Dr. Stoddard stated that to keep "our own thinking straight is to sharpen our best weapon cf defense and attack." He also counseled veterans-of-the-future to discuss and to study the kind of world they are willing to fight for and to take a vital part in its final emergence. SIGNAL CORPS CLASS GRADUATES On Feb. 19 certificates were presented to the 67 enlisted men in the university's ficJ class in the Army Signal Corps radio technician couise at a dinner held at the Hotel Markeen. Dean Lewis A. Froman, director of the course, presented the certificates to these enlistees, the 31 non-enlisted students who completed the course at this time receiving theirs by mail. One of the speakers at the dinner was Lt. Robert E. Hayes, who has been detached from the New York headquarters of the Signal Corps to act as liaison officer in the technician course. This class is the first in a number which eventually will prepare hundreds of young men for this branch of service. Those who enroll meet for three evenings a week during the 8 months, thus enabling them to work at their jobs by day and prepare at night for specialized Army service. Six alumni were among the graduates, four of them being enlisted men. They are: enlisted men—Floyd Bimber, Jr., BS (Bus) "42, LLB '43, M. Joseph Lamm, Soc '40, John F. McGarl, BA '39, and Ira J. Melzer, BS (Bus) "42; non-enlisted personnel Clara J. McGibe, BS (Bus) '31, Edß '40, and Eugene A. Sydoriak, BS (Bus) '38.

PLEASE NOTIFY US OF CHANGE OF ADDRESS Alumni News Brevities Schoellkopf Trust Fund Last month the university received a gift consisting entirely of securities with a present market value of $348,248.75 as a result of a trust agreement made by the late Jacob F. Schoellkopf. Mr. Schoellkopf, long a friend of the university and a member of the council from 1920 to 1938, died last Sept. 9. His trust indenture, oi deed of gift, provided that the income be reserved for him until his death when it was to pass to the university free and clear from any restrictions, thereby terminating the trust. Under the terms of the agreement, the university is asked to set up the Jacob F. Schoellkopf Trust and to "use the principal of and the net income from such fund, or substantially all thereof, for such special purpose or purposes as the governing body of the university may determine will be for the best interests of the university and represent a permanent memorial to the grantor and his family." Mr. Schoellkopf was chairman and president of Schoellkopf, Hutton and Pomeroy and previously had been chairman of the Niagara Falls Power Company. He and Mrs. Schoellkopf gave $50,000 to the university in 1920 and again in 1926. In 1929, he and 21 other members of the Schoellkopf family gave a joint gift to the university of securities of the then market value of 5i,000,000. Commenting on the benefaction. Chancellor Samuel P. Capen said: "The magnificent gift of Mr. Jacob F. Schoellkopf adds one more to a long series of generous contributions made by him and members of his family. The university and the community will benefit from this memorial gift throughout an indefinite future. The fact that Mr. Schoellkopf placed no restrictions on the purposes for which the income of the fund may be spent enables the university to apply it wherever it may be of the greatest service." HEYD. '09 Charles Gordon Heyd, MD '09, will be the principal speaker at the Medical school commencement exercises to be held at 11 A. M. on Wednesday, March 24, in the Mary Seaton Room of Kleinhans Music Hall. His topic will be "The Doctor, Medical Science and the Clinic."

Will.am G. Cook. BS '27, alumni secretary now on leave and with the army. Its timely message, inspiring loyalty and pertinent suggestion are so vitally important that its inclusion in this issue was deemed essential. Needless to say, Maj. Cook's wishes have been tarried out to the letter. I learn from the "Bee," which I receive gratefully every week, that the University of Buffalo is joining with other agencies of the community in the current national loan campaign, and that one day has been set aside for special effort among the office personnel of the University. Since I am still Alumni Secretary of the University, I should like to buy a $25 bond, with credit for the sale going to your office. A check for #18.75, payable to the Treasurer of the United States, is enclosed for that purpose. But I have a further request to make. I desire that the bond be issued, not to me as owner, but to the University of Buffalo, my alma mater. I make this second request in the hope that it may stimulate other loyal alumni to a similar demonstration of loyalty to their country and to their University. I have long felt that we alumni have done little enough, in time of peace, to acknowledge the debt we owe to the institution. In time of war, it is altogether too easy to forget the financial needs of higher education. By this simple act, one can serve two causes, at what is, after all, a relatively small cost to the individual. Would you be good enough to convey my idea on the subject to the General Alumni Board, whose power it is to accomplish a worthy purpose which I know will meet with the approval of citizens and alumni alike. Yours very sincerely, WilliamG. Cook, Major, Infantry. The Infantry School, Academic Department, Fort Benning, Ga„ April 14, 1943. No. 3 Betsy K. MacLeod.

BS (Bus) '39, an .i/r cadet, made his first solo landing with jiiother plane nosed over on the field. Since the Alumni Office has been learning of more and more alumni who are serving on far-off fronts such as Iceland, Australia. New Guinea, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, England, Scotland. Costa Rica, South America, the Solomons, the Hawaiian and Philippine Islands and Alaska, it was no great surprise to learn that an alumnus is now serving as quartermaster in charge of a depot in Iran. To the best of our knowledge, 2nd Lt. Robert C. Howard, BA '40, is the only alumnus now stationed in erstwhile Persia. Graduated with high distinction, Corp. William A. Boehroke, BS(Bus) '38, was one of two men in the Army Finance School at Wake Forest, N. C, believed to have set a national record by scoring 161 out of a possible 163 points in the standard Army intelligence test. While not all the stories can be told at this time, some of the activities of the alumni make interesting news. Lt. Com. William M. Connelly, LLB '11, is now a judge advocate general; Capt. Vincent G. Hart, LLB '16, has been appointed trial judge advocate at Fort Jay; Lt. (sg) Edward M. Lausted, Dip (Bus) '36, acts as supply man for battleships at an eastern naval base; Capt.

Nickerson, Edß '39, commander of a unit of paratroopers and veteran of "Bloody Hill" on Guadalcanal, recently visited his Alma Mater while home on sick leave and addressed a convocation of students and faculty in Hayes Hal 1. The assemblage paid him welldeserved tribute by rising as a body and applauding enthusiastically when he was introduced. Capt. Nickerson was the first man to land on Gavutu, the first island in the Solomons to fly the American flag. Landing under fire on Aug. 7, 1942, his outfit took over the island completely, then helped take Tanambogo and other islands. The Lunga Ridge or "Bloody Hill" engagement on Sept. 13 and 14 resulted in the saving of Henderson Field. The next day his unit found "about 600 dead Japs piled up at the foot of the hill" on which they had been stationed. Wounded in the Solomons action, Capt. Nickerson spent about four months in various hospitals and is now on sick leave, soon to be hospitalized for further treatment. An enthusiastic Marine, Capt. Nickerson said that Marines' "peace time training is more than an adequate preparation for fighting and beating any enemy of equal strength." WAR CASUALTY, WOUNDED AND MISSING Corp. Edwin C Booth, BS (Phar) '41, a technician with an army station hospital, died of meningitis three days after his unit's arrival in the African area. He was the son of Edwin J. Booth, PhG '14.

On April 19, Rose Day was celebrated and campus students held their informal Senior Luncheon, an off campus affair since Norton Union, Jr., has no facilities for serving luncheons. On Tuesday, April 20, the unseasonable weather forced the seniors to hold the ivyplanting ceremony indoors. The ritual was performed via box and bushel basket on the stage of Edmund Hayes Hall auditorium. Although the traditional parade was omitted this year, the Moving-Up convocation was held on Wednesday, April 21. Gold and silver keys were presented to 29 students for their participation in extracurricular activities during the year. That evening, the tenth annual dinner of the board of managers of Norton Union was held and the new officers were announced, led by Carmen B. Tillinghast as president. She is the second woman student to hold this office, the first having been Nancy Lou Knowlton Binder. BA '36, originator of the Senior Memorial Pledge plan. On Graduation Night, Wednesday, May 26. the 1943 class will hold their Senior Prom at Kleinhans Music Hall. Music will be provided by the "Niagarians," announce co-chairmen Jerome W. Edelstein and Dean C. Stathacos. The dance is not closed. Women Win Prizes Joan K. Graham, freshman, is the winner of this year's Scribbler's Prize, awarded annually to the woman student who does the best piece of creative work in a competition to encourage writing. The Chi Omega prize for excellent work in the social sciences went to Alice G. Chmiel with a four-year history and government average of 2.78. Bond Booths Sales Exceed Quota The University of Buffalo Faculty bond booth, located at Sears, Roebuck and Company and operated by faculty women and wives, and two booths in Foster and Hayes halls, operated by the student Women's Organization for War Service (WOWS), far surpassed the goals set for them in the recent Cruiser "Buffalo" Campaign. Unceasing effort on the part of all those participating resulted in the enviable sales record. Aircrew Notes Temporary student officers have been named for the 23rd College Training Detachment stationed at the university. The aviation students thus selected include: group commander, Franklin M. Sciutto; group adjutant, Warren R. Brooks; supply officer, Roy A. Hatem; and squadron commanders Ernest P. Demos, Jerry M. Marsh and Alfred G. Carr. Norton Hall was recently the scene of the military wedding of Pvt. Robert Armstrong and Miss Margaret Watson. The bride was given in marriage by Capt. Harold D. Woodbury, commanding officer of the detachment. 11 Medical Students Become Apprentice Seamen By resigning their commissions as ensigns and being sworn in as apprentice seamen, eleven medical students made an apparent downward step but are actually being benefited since the Navy will take over for them beginning July Ist, providing tuition, school expenses, board and room and paying them $50 a month. This procedure follows the lines of the Naval Reserve's V-I2 program. Upon graduation the men will be commissioned lieutenants junior grade in the Medical Corps Reserve. In Memoriam The university's flag flew at half-mast one day late in April in tribute to George A. Fleury, day watchman on the campus. A familiar figure to campus students and faculty alike for the past 15 years, "George" died at his post, as he undoubtedly would have wished it.

SENIOR MEMORIAL FUND GROWS Contributionsreceived from Senior Memorial Fund pledgors since January Ist of this year now amount to more than $590, which is but a few dollars short of the total contributed during the calendar year of 1942 in the form of pledge payments and '42 Senior Ball proceeds ($145.43). When it is remembered that this $590 is the equivalent of $29,500 in endowment invested at 2%, the importance to the university of such a recurring gift is easily realized. Thus far, the returns on the 1943 pledges have been almost phenomenal. The Dental seniors joined as a group, 100% of the class, 39 strong. The Medical seniors signed 63 of the 66 pledge cards so far. And many of the pledgors have followed the example set them by classes of recent years by pledging more than $1 a year for the five year period. As a matter of fact, the average amount of the 102 pledges from the above two groups was $2.36, an excellent record. Returns will not be available from the other divisions for a few weeks since the cards are now being dis- .. tributed. Many interesting notes accompany the pledge payments. The following are quotes from some of these: "I hope the enclosed $5.00 brings me up to date on my various Alumni pledges—Arts '39 and Law '42." (From a private) "Sorry for the delay. These last few months have been hectic." "My wishes for continued good fortune with the Senior Fund." Dr. A. Bertram Lemon Summer Session Announces Programs The 1943 Summer Session will be conducted on an unprecedented 17-week basis. Under the accelerated plan, high school graduates will be admitted as freshmen June 28. That date marks the beginning of the 6-week period ending August 7 when courses for teachers and school administrators will also be offered. Full-time accelerating students will take courses during this first period and the six weeks from August 9 to September 18. In addition, a special period from May 24 to June 26 will be used by some departments to provide for special needs. While the training of the Army Air Force students has necessitated adjustments in the life of the campus, the Summer Session will attempt to meet the needs of its three main types of students, regular college students, recent high school graduates and educators now in the school systems. Arrangements have been made, for example, to introduce the new students to college life with special emphasis being laid upon the development of physical fitness. Entering Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Students are Benefited Students graduating from high school this June and expecting to enroll in the pre-medical and pre-dental programs are being advised to begin their studies during the summer period. Those who enter on June 28 can complete their preparatory training by September 1944 and will then be ready to enter medical or dental school in January 1945. Since these divisions are admitting new freshman classes July 6 of this year and every nine months thereafter, those students who do not start the preprofessional training until this September will not be able to enter these schools until September 1945. Thus, by beginning three months earlier now (in June 1943), the students save nine months in 1945. Course Offerings Cover Wide Range In addition to offering a choice of customary courses in all major fields, the Summer Session is giving many timely and unusual courses. This is particularly true in the fertile field of the social sciences. For example, The European Background of World War II is being given by the History department and included in its description are the following tantalizing phrases: "the past as a basis for the future peace; and the most desirable elements of international cooperation and collective security." This department will also offer a course in which will be studied the origin and development of basic American Foreign Policies, with emphasis upon their relation to the present war. A description and analysis of the suggested Plans for Permanent Peace; a study of the culture and mode of life of various Peoples in the World at War; a study of the attitudes which are involved in Race and Nationality Prejudice, Social Psychology of War and Peace, Nationalism; a considertion of Propaganda, Rumor Censorship. Morale and Leadership: a summary of Philosophies in Conflict; a discussion of processes involved in meeting Social Problems Arising out of Military Service; courses in Military German, Elementary Portuguese. Elementary Russian and France Today, embodying discussions of the social and political problems of France; —all these are but a sampling of the widely varied offerings of this year's Summer Session. Courses in art will again be given under a cooperative plan with the School of Fine Arts of the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy. The courses in the history of art, in the teaching of art in elementary and secondary schools and some courses in art will be given in the university campus studios, this year to be located on the third floor of Hayes hall. Other art courses will be given in the School of Fine Arts studios on Elmwood Avenue. Miscellaneous Data Social activities formerly centered in Norton Hall will be carried on in Norton Union, Jr., on the second floor of Edmund Hayes Hall. The College of Arts and Sciences, the Library Science course, the Schools of Business Administration, Education, Nursing and Social Work and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences will operate through the Summer Session. Evening instruction will be available in some fields through courses offered by Millard Fillmore College.

The Alumni Loyalty Fund has been established. Envisioned for some time by loyal and interested alumni as the best means by which they and their fellow graduates could demonstrate tangibly allegiance to their Alma Mater and an appreciation of her problems as a private institution of higher education, this fund has been set up by the General Alumni Board's Committee on Funds. Chairman of the committee is Morey C. Bartholomew, LLB '09, whose report to the Board at its fourth annual meeting on June 3rd included a summary of the steps taken in the establishment of the project. He submitted the literature which had been mailed to all living graduates of the university for whom addresses are known. Even before the mailing piece had reached many of the alumni, some checks had been received "to start-the ball rolling." Mr. Bartholomew also reported encouraging results in the Senior Memorial Pledge presentation and solicitation as well as collection. Incidentally, if you have not mailed ycur contribution, why not take a minute now to make out a check and mail it in the business reply envelope enclosed with the fund pamphlet? A great many gifts, large and stone small, will add up each year to an amount which can play a large part in helping to solve the university's financial difficulties. That the need is particularly great at this time and in the imminent future was made clear in the brief comments of Chancellor Capen on the state of the university. President Leon J. Gauchat, DDS '19, introduced the new members of the General Alumni Board and welcomed the two members who had been re-elected by alumni vote to the University council. Griffith G. Pritchard, DDS '18, reporting for the Committee on Alumni Activities, described the extremely successful Homecoming Day football game played this year in Buffalo's Civic Stadium, the Bisons* first appearance there. He gave special credit to Marshall K. Stoll, BS (Ed) '36, chairman, and to the other members of the Homecoming Committee. From every point of view, including the financial, the day was a huge success. Talman W. Van Arsdale, Jr., BA '38, MA '40, reported that branch club activity has come almost to a standstill as a result of the war while the associations are attempting to maintain interest even when meetings are curtailed in number. There was no report for the Committee on Bequests. Emily H. Webster, BA '23, reported that by acting as a member of both the Activities and Fund committees, by participating in the program of the Alumnae Association, and by assisting in various other university activities of the year, she had carried on an active public relations program. The annual report of the secretary was received and filed. The entire slate presented by James E. King, MD '96, chairman of the nominating committee, was elected by the group. The officers of the General Alumni Board for 1943-1944 are: Dr. Gauchat, president; Dr. Pritchard, Committee on Activities; Dorothea C. Duttweiler, BA '37. Committee on Associations and Clubs; Mr. Davidson, Committee on Bequests; Mr. Bartholomew, Committee on Funds; and Miss Webster, Committee on Public Relations. Those attending the meeting were: Chancellor Open and Arthur I. Goldberg, BA '31, acting director of publicity for the university, guests; Mr. Bartholomew; Miss Duttweiler; Dr. Gauchat; Clayton W.

The volume of correspondence received when important bills are being discussed in the House is apparently quite impressive as an indication of the lively interest of the constituency "back home."

'24 ARTS ALUMNAE HOLD REUNION The annual reunion of the Class of 1924, College of Arts and Sciences alumnae, was held last month at the home of Ruth E. Cary, representative of the group on the board of directors of the Alumnae Association. 97th Commencement Held The Athletic Roundup In his Baccalaureate address on Sunday, May 24, Chancellor Samuel P. Capen emphasized the importance of remembering that the necessary forfeiting of freedoms and rights in the execution of total war must be but a temporary expedient because the inevitable regimentation produced is incompatible with American freedom and opportunity as we have known them. "Therefore," he asserted, "it behooves us to take note from moment to moment of exactly what privileges and prerogatives of American citizens we are surrendering in order to fight a total war. And we need to be inexorably determined to reclaim them completely once the emergency is past." On May 26, two weeks ahead of the normal schedule as a result of the accelerated program, the 97th annual commencement was held, the fifth of the academic year 1942-1943. Degrees, diplomas and certificates were awarded to 211 candidates at the exercises in Kleinhans Music Hall. The colorful academic procession was apbepreciably smaller this year principally cause of the early graduation of many accelerated students and because many of the men had entered the armed services before The university has joined the large number of schools which have discontinued intercollegiate varsity athletics for the duration. This decision was necessitated by the declining number of civilian students and a corresponding decrease in revenue from the sale of student athletic tickets. The following is a summary of varsity athletic competition during the 1942-33 year: Basketball graduation. The traditional ceremonies were observed: Dr. Albert G. Butzer pronounced the invocation and the benediction; the "Alma Mater" and the "Chorale" were sung respectively preceding and following the conferring of the degrees; and the exercises began with the singing of the national anthem. President Everett Needham Case of Colgate University delivered the commencement address. Asserting that political and economic issues as well as military must be solved now if our post-war problems are to be manageable, he advocated higher income adtaxes on a pay-as-you-go basis, upward justments of price ceilings to eliminate problack markets and encouragemaximum duction of basic foodstuffs and other policies designed to avert inflation.

Too late?? Not if all alumni who haven't done so will contribute to the 1943 Alumni Loyalty Fund NOW! The Committee reports that the Fund is growing steadily. Thus far, the direct-mail appeals have met with excellent results— 568 Loyalty and Memorial Fund givers have sent in almost $5600 since June 30, 1942. The bulk of this amount arrived in response to the two appeals sent out in May and July. There is no quota for this first annual Fund. Neither is there any specification as to the size of the individual gift. Contributions range from $1 to $250 and all are gratefully received. In answer to many questions, no, your 1943 gift is not a commitment for future Funds. The appeal will berenewed yearly, yes—but we are not seeking pledges for the future. Just send in what you can now, and decide upon the size of next year's gift then. Unsolicited voluntary pledges which have been and will be received are, of course, welcome. The most disappointing element in the preliminary report is the small percentage of contributors. The 568 graduates who have given to the University through these funds represent little more than an approximate 5% of the total alumni body. Despite the fact that this is the first annual Fund, there are many more names which might be expected to appear on the 1943 Roll Call—and we feel sure that it is merely a matter of presenting the entire situation clearly to a great number of loyal alumni who are truly interested in the welfare of their Alma Mater. No person-to-person campaigning has been begun as yet. It is our hope that some will be done—but the exigencies of war will inevitably prevent accomplishment of an exhaustive individual solicitation. Therefore, we ask again that you act without this additional stimulus—for certainly the precariousness of the University's position can speak eloquently of her needs. Although in the throes of a partial military occupation, our University must sustain many of her normal functions by herself—at a time when civilian enrollments have shrunk like dehydrated foods. — 1943 ALUMNI LOYALTY FUND Returns as of Sept. 25 No. of Givers $4,587.70 251 Amount Loyalty Fund alone Senior Mem.

Brown, MD '40, left his foxhole during an intense Japanese night bombardment of Guadalcanal, the War Department announced recently. Barefoot and partially clothed, the flight surgeon performed minor operations for three hours, working by dimmed flashlight. When his troopship was torpedoed 75 miles from Oran, Lt, Col. Frank E. Brundage, MD '09, was one of a group which went over the side and down ropes to a destroyer that pulled alongside. The ship was part of a convoy en route to Africa from England late last fall. Lt.

He was taken to a first aid station to work on wounded Allied prisoners and later to two hospitals, taking care of British and American wounded in one and German in another. He escaped a few nights later and, befriended by Italian civilians, managed to return to the advancing Allied lines in high spirits and good physical shape. Capt. Aider, is the first physician who jumped with his men, the first jump taking place during a demonstration his paratroop unit gave for men in Ireland about a year and a half ago. He was wounded during the Tunisian fighting and had a miraculous escape from death when a French armored car in which he was riding hit a road mine which blew off the front of the car. paratroopers were sent presumably to jump behind the lines to disconcert the enemy. Capt. Alden, who dodged the Germans for 9 of the 12 days he spent behind their lines, described how a supposedly-friendly Italian civilian called "Roger'' had directed them the first day out to a German "carpark" which proved instead to be a division command post from which machine guns opened up on the group. Capt. Alden crawled over a bank into a corn field where he hid safely all the next day, but in which INTERESTING NEWS ITEMS The 23rd General Hospital unit which left Buffalo last year has been in North Africa for several months.

The Army men started out as privates but all except a few have since been promoted to private first class. The Navy men are apprentice seamen. None of the uniformedstudents pay tuition or feesand all are on commutation of quarters and subsistence which permits them to live and on their own. Books and instruments as well as uniforms are supplied them. In addition, they receive the pay commensurate with their rank.

LOYALTY FUND RETURNS EXCEED $6000 Soonthe books will be closed to mark the end of the first fiscalyearof the Alumni Loyalty Fund. All contributions received after December 31 will be credited to the 1944 Fund, for the Loyalty Fund is the long-heralded channel through which aiumni can each year demonstrate tangibly their interest in and allegiance to their Alma Mater. Morey C Bartholomew,LLB '09, Chairthe Committeeon Funds, reports that the 1943 appeal, which opened in May of this year,has met with substantial support from those who have contributed but that the number of contributors is still small. He reminds all alumni that a yearly-giving fund of this type must have a large number of supporters to succeed and that the size of the gift depends solely on the individual—the small and the large contributions are all important in the total. And your gift this year is not a commitment in anyway for the future. man of Recently promoted to Captain is Irwin Ellentuck,DDS '42 ; Aviation CadetJulien C.Renswick,BA '43, is training to become a pilot. CAMPUS AIRCREW NEWS CANTEENS ESTABLISHED Norton Hall, formerly the StudentUnion building on campus, has housed aviation students for many months, has been the scene of several military weddings and now contains in its basement recreation room a real canteen. A second canteen for the cadets at the university has been set up in Grover ClevelandHall. Both canteens are operated by women's groups,the Norton by the MontefioreAuxiliary of B'nai B'rith and the Clevelandby a committee of women of the University District and the Universiry Heights Businessmen's Association. A recreation room also has been equipped by B'nai B'rith for the students stationed in ClevelandHall. PERSONNEL NOTES Among the trainees stationed at the university at one time or another have been two service veterans, both holders of awards. One,Pvt. Howard M. Nauroth,received the Legion of Merit award at a graduation ceremonyon campus in recognition of "exceptionally meritorious conduct" when an Air Transport Commandplane in which he was a passenger was forced down in inaccessible Canadianwilderness last winter. The other, Staff Sgt. Donald Clarke, veteran of 30 bombing missions and 300 com- bat hours, held the Air Medal with oak leaf cluster and the Distinguished Flying Cross for his work as an engineer-gunner during the 9 months he spent in the Middle East. Undergraduates on campus were surprised to recognize two former classmates among the aviation students when Lawrence D. Mclntyre and Gilbert R. Van Brocklin,Jr., were returned by the Army to the university for training. You will read elsewhere in this issue of the establishment of Army and Navy units at the Medical and Dental schools. The 23rd College Training Detachment of aviation students is, of course, still on the campus. You might therefore conclude that all of the university's needs have been met by having military students replace the civilian. But you would be wrong! Many of the normal functionsof universities are not covered at all under these programs. There is, therefore,a real need for help from interested friendsof the university. Won't you join your 617 fellow alumni who have already sent their gifts? Mail Loyalty Fund, Crosby yours to the Alumni Hall, University of Buffalo, Buffalo 14, New York. The undesignated $25 bond received October 8 has not yet been claimed.

Wahle, Frank C. B. Held and Mrs. Stephen M. Clement,whose wills were filed for probate recently, named the University of Buffalo as recipient of Russell W. Groh, DDS '18, associate dean of the Schoolof Dentistry since 1936, has been advanced to the position of dean. A past president of the Dental Alumni Association,he has been with the university since 1920 when he was appointed an instructor in operative dentistry. To promote the integration of the medical-dental program developed at the university, both schools were put under a single dean in 1935. This cooperative plan has proved so successful that an interdivisional board was established this month to co-ordinate all university units concerned with maintenance and protection of health. The units thus affectedare the Schoolsof Medicine,Dentistry, Pharmacy and Nursing and the curricula for medical technologists and for teachers of physical education. bequests. Mr. Wahle, an electrical contractor, specified in his will that a trust fund be set up for his wife to provide her with a life income and that, upon her death,the residue of his estate, after specific bequests are paid to relatives and friends, is to be BOARD used to establish "The Richard E. Wahle Research Fund" for the university if accepted by the Medical school. Filed with the will was a letter addressed to the Schoolof Medicine,stating Mr. Wahle's "desire and intent that the fund be used to promote the study for cures of so-called blood diseases of the group of conditions that come under the headings of aplastic or refractory anemias." If the principal objectives are reached,he directed that the remainder "be utilized to further the understanding of other so-called blood diseases." According to the will of Frank C B. Held, former Buffalo publisher, the university is to receive two-fifthsof the residue of his estate after certain trust funds have been established. Mrs. Stephen M. Clement,who during her lifetime had given the university a total of $80,000 over and above gifts made by her family, bequeathed an additional $1,000 to the university. A member of the first group of women elected to the council in 1920, Mrs. Clement took an active interest in university affairs. Acceding to her wishes,the council accepted her resignation in 1941, making this comment: "Her service on the board covered a period of 20 years of constructive,sympathetic and generousservice,for which the university will always remain her debtor." Members of the council and other university administrators who enjoyed stimulating association with her expressed sincere regret at the termination of her long and distinguished career. Nelson G. Russell,MD '95, is the chairman of the five-member Advisory Health Board recently established by Buffalo's Mayor Joseph J.

Remember the ALUMNI LOYALTY FUND in 1944 �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO The Chancellor's Report (ABSTRACT) Tothe Councilofthe University ofBuffalo I have the honor to submit the report of the chancellor for the academic year 1942-1943: UNIVERSITIES AND THE WAR of the Selective Service From the passage Act up to the early summer of 1942 committees representing the colleges and the universities had been constantly urging upon government agencies the adoption of the three following general policies: (1) provision for the continued production of an adequate number of trained men and women to supply both the needs of the armed forces and the civilian services; (2) the formulation of a comprehensive policy for the complete use of the immense training facilities possessed by the higher institutions; and (3) the establishment or designation of a single agencyto conduct the relations of the government with the higher institutions. With the creation of the War Manpower Commissionprogressbegan to be made toward these objectives. It has continued throughout the past twelvemonths. It must be assumed that the colleges and universities are now being asked to train the requisite numbers of specialists of any kind either service will need. It is by no means so clear that an adequate number of persons is being trained to meet the equally vital professional and technical needs of civilian life. The government's attempts to remedy the critical shortages of civilian experts in a number of technical fieldshave been only partially successful. The SelectiveService System has deferred both undergraduate and graduate chemistry, students of physics, mathematics, bacteriology and most branches of engineering together with students in professional schools of agriculture, pharmacy, medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine and theology. The deferment of such students simply permits them to finish their professional preparation, and leaves until a later date the decision as to whether they are to be assigned to military service or to receive continued defermentas persons engaged in "critical occupations." The second method employed by the government to increase the supply of professional personnel for civilian activities has been exhortation of all qualified young women to prepare themselves for the scientificprofessions and technical specialties which previously attracted few women practitioners or none at all. The results of this campaign of exhortation are encouraging. However, the effectivenessof these efforts has been somewhat offset by the now familiar habit of the government to work at cross purposes with itself. Women students embarked upon a course of training for these new professional careers are subjected to urgent patriotic appeals to enlist at once in the WAVES or the WAC or the SPARS,or to enter some essential war industry. An official clarificationof the status of women technical and professionalstudents is assuredly called for. If preparation for a scientific specialty is a patriotic service, there should be no counter appeals. Women students should n. t have laid upon them the added burden cf a choice among patriotic duties. The third method that the government has adopted for increasing the supply of technically trained persons has been the subsidization of training programs. A summaryof the progress to date toward the ends which college and university spokesmen have so persistently advocated for the last two yearscan, therefore,be made in the following terms. The War and Navy Departments are now making systematic use of the collegiate training facilities of the country to an extent sufficient to meet the needs of these services. Something like a single avenue of communication between the armed forces and the colleges exists in the joint committee representing the Army, the Navy and the War Manpower Commission. However, in contracting for and administering training programs each institution deals separately with the War Department or the Navy Department. A multiplicity of government agencies still has contact with the collegiate institutions in the promotion and the direction of civilian training programs important for the national welfare; and in this field there is no unity of policy, nor is there yet assurance that the supply of men and women in training will be sufficientfor the civilian needs. The total facilities of the colleges and universities of the country are far from being used. University and college faculties have been decimated,suffering their most extensive losses in exactly those departments which form the core of the Army and Navy training programs. A directive of the SelectiveServiceheadquarters classifying university administration and university teaching in certain scientific fields as "critical occupations," issued September 30, 1942,came too late to repair the damage caused by the draft. And special invitations from non-military government agencies to individual teachers continue to be issued. There can be no remedy for this steady dilution of the quality of the university enterprise until the government recognizes the situation and, at least in those institutions conducting training profor the armed forces,puts academic instruction on the basis of assignment. The Army programsare as highly concentrated as possible. The content is prescribed,sometimes in full detail. Quite naturally these limitations do not always win the approval of college and university officers.Many college teachers have serious reservations concerning the educational effectiveness of the dose they are engaged to administer. But when this has been admitted, the contracting institutions can feel nothing but satisfaction with the Army's policy toward the direction of the educational program itself. The military officersin charge of units of trainees have jurisdiction over only the physical aspects of the trainee's day. The direction of his intellectual activities is in the hands of the faculty. This division of responsibility has contributed much to the high morale of most of the training units. The real crisis of university education under the impact of the war continues to turn about the partial eclipse of liberal learning. In so far as the humanities figure at all in the Army programs, they are included for their purely utilitarian values. The whole orientation of American civilization has been determined by our faith in liberal education. Our people have instinctively clung to the ideal of knowledge for the enrichment of life. The vast body of people young and old whose formal education has been acquired in the general high school and the liberal arts college has set the pattern of our national life for two generations. It was their quick comprehension of the principles at stake in the present world conflict that instantly unifiedthe nation,and has energized it for a concerted voluntary effort which has no historical parallel. THE EFFECT OF THE WAR ON THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO AND THE UNIVERSITY'S SPECIAL grams CONTRIBUTIONS The announcement of the Secretary of War that students in the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps would be called to active duty at the end of the first term led to a complete recasting of the plans of a large percentage of students in the campus divisions of the university; and necessitated extensive readjustments in the educational programsof the several divisions of the university. The lowering of the draft ageto eighteen a few weeks later placed practically the whole male student body within the immediate scope of the draft. It seemed probable that by the middle of the year �ALUMNI BULLETIN least half of the student population would be gone. The financial results of such a wholesale evacuation promised to be very serious. To offset in part the expected loss of income the Council and the General Alumni Board issued urgent appeals to the friends of the university, and to its graduates, for emergency contributions which might be used to reduce the anticipated deficit. These appeals were the first of exactly this character that the university has ever made. The response was most gratifying. The report of the comptroller and treasurer shows that $66,727.79 was contributed,part of it in payment of former unpaid subscriptions, in answer to the Council'sappeal. The contributions of the alumni, which have continued to come in throughout the academic year, and are still flowing as this report is written, likewise total a substantial sum. The situation which the Counciland the administrative officers believed that they foresawin December,1942, did not in fact materialize. In the first place, onlv a handful of reservists had been called when the university was asked to accept an assignment of 400 Army Air Forces trainees; and before the assignment was actually made it was requested to accept an additional 100. The training program which the University of Buffalo conducts for Army Air Forces trainees is normally five months in length. Certain trainees whose previous education has included parts of the prescribed program remain in the unit for shorter periods of time. The general administration of the training program has been centered in the Officeof War Training which the Council established in March, 1943,with Dr. Lewis A. Froman as director. The very complicated tasks of scheduling and the assignment of instructors are in the hands of Dr. Ellis R. Ott, who has been appointed coordinator of instruction in that office. The members of the facultiesof the campus divisions by unanimous vote offered to undertake the instruction of the unit without extra compensation. They have loyally and enthusiastically fulfilled this selfat 3 few members of the staff will regard the experience as a professional loss. The members of the 23rd College Training Detachment are soldiers on active duty. They are under the command of Captain Harold D. Woodbury. The commanding officerand his assistants are responsible for the military training, the discipline, and the oversight of the housing and messing of the unit. The university counts itself especially fortunate to have assigned to it a group of officerswho are fully familiar with the circumstances of academic life and who are eager to avoid any of the causes of friction which might develop in the administration of an enterprise half military and half scholastic. For their tact and sympathetic insight the university owes them a debt of gratitude. The student soldiers who compose the 23rd College Training Detachment are a select group, eager to profit as fully as possible from the university's offerings. Members of the faculty report that they have never dealt with more earnest and interested students. Although the student soldiers are residents of the University of Buffalo for only a little more than one normal academic semester, the university counts them as full fledged members. The civilian students have gained much by their presence and as far as possible have amalgamated them into the student body. The university takes deep pride in being associated in their military and scientific education. To provide housing for 500 soldiers it was necessary to discontinue Norton Hall as a student union and to assign it to the Army Air Forces as a barracks and mess hall. Approximately half of the unit is housed there,and the whole unit is messed in the Norton Hall cafeteria. The university secured from the City Council the lease of the club house at GroverCleveland Park and converted that building into a barracks capable of housing approximately 250 men. Governmentcontracts with the colleges and universities are based on the principle that the institutions shall neither profit financially nor be out of pocket through conducting a training program. The report imposed obligation. of the comptroller shows that the university finished the fiscal year with a surplus, Beforethe arrival of the unit an inquiry instead of the deficit that had been exwas circulated amongthe members of the pected.

The scholarly The 23rd College Training Detachment output of the university will undoubtedly fall below its normal volume as long as was the only group of military personnel present conditions continue. Nevertheless, on active duty assigned to the university during the year under review. The joint committee of the Army, Navy and War Manpower Commissionhas approved the university, however,for contracts with the Army for Army basic training, for premedical and pre-dental training, and for medical and dental training and for contract with the Navy for medical and dental training. Just beforethe end of the fiscal yearpreliminary contracts with both services were negotiated covering the instruction of reservists in the Schoolsof Medicine and Dentistry. OTHER GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS In September, 1939 the university began to participate in the Civilian Pilot Training Program conducted by the Civil Aeronautics Authority. In the summer of 1942 the programwas transformed from a part-time to a full-time program. It was in effect until March,1943,when it was superseded by the Army and Navy college training programsfor aviation cadets. Sincethe summer of 1941 the University of Buffalo has been authorized to offer Engineering, Science,Management War Training courses in the general fields of science and industrial management. The regulations adopted by the U. S. Office of Education to cover the distribution of the appropriations provided that only approved four-year engineering schools should be eligible to receive federal funds for the support of courses in the general field of engineering. In 1941 the University of Buffalohad just established its first fouryear engineering curriculum, a curriculum in industrial technology leading to the degree of Bachelor of Scienceand combining instruction in fundamentalengineering subjects and in subjects from the general field of business administration. The first graduate in industrial technology received his degree on May 26th, 1943. Immediately thereafterthe U. S. Officeof Education approved the university for the administration of engineering courses within the general area of industrial technology. One of the largest and most important enterprises conducted by the university in the ESMWTprogram during the year under review was the training of approximately 800 members of the Signal Corps Reserve in a part-time curriculum eight months in length dealing principally with mathematics and electricity. SPECIAL GRANTS FOR SCHOLARSHIPS AND LOANS my In last annual report I recorded the university's indebtedness to the W. K. Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek, Michigan, for its generous grants totalling $24,000, to the Schoolsof Medicine,Dentistry and Nursing. During the year under review the W. K. Kellogg Foundation gave the university an additional $5,000 for the aid of students in the Schoolof Medicine. The grant of $4,000 previously made to �4 the School of Nursing furnished that division with substantial assistance in the establishment of a new pre-clinical nursing program, to be pursued by student nurses during a six months' period before admission to a hospital school of nursing. The W. K. Kellogg Foundation made a further appropriation to the university of S-1,000 for scholarships and loans for students enrolled in the curriculum in clinical technology. For the second time the U. S. Public Health Serviceapproved an appropriation from federalfunds to the Schoolof Nursing, to be used for scholarships for students in advanced courses. The amount of the appropriation was $4825. LEAVES OF ABSENCE A total of 78 members of the teaching and administrative staffs of the university have been granted leaves of absence during the year under review, the majority to serve with the armed forces. In no preceding period has such an extensive draft been made on the intellectual resources of the university. Leaves were granted to the following: Jason Farber,M. D., Thomas L.

In formulating the annual budget it is consequently necessaryto estimate with as much accuracyas possible the probable size of the student body of each division. When the budget for the year 1942-1943 was in preparation the estimating officersfelt no confidencein their ability to forecast the enrollment trends of that year. They expected far more serious losses in income from students than actually occurred. In preparing the budget for the year 1943-1944 the deans,the chancellor and the comptroller were equally at sea. Beyond a few fixed points all is uncertainty. The estimating officers have no way of foretelling how many male students will be registered in any undergraduate division, or for how long; or whether a large increase in the number of women students will take place. Once more, however, following the conservative budgeting practice adopted a number of years ago, the officerspresented, and the Council adopted, a balanced budget on June 29, 1943. PRESENT AND FUTURE POLICIES The University of Buffalo is wholeheartedly committed to making its utmost contribution to the successfulprosecution of the war. It must devote all of its available resources, human and material,to the task of specific training for war-related activities both military and civilian.

Gentlemen: The annual report of the comptroller for the fiscal yearwhich ended June 30, 1943 is presented herewith. The balance sheet,Exhibit "A," shows endowment assets of $6,596,887.66; plant assets of $7,080,143.06; and operating assets of $441,019.92. On June 30, 1943 the total funds in the endowment accountwere $6,596,887.66, as shown in Exhibit "A." On June 30, 1942 the total funds were $6,156,282.68. The net increase for the year, therefore, in endowment funds, was $440,604.98. Of this amount $370,857.66 represented the handsome gift of Jacob F. Schoellkopf, received by the university at Mr. Schoellkopf's death on September 9, 1942. Exhibit "B" is an analysis of land, buildings and equipment of the university at the close of the fiscal year on June 30, 1943. The total value of land, buildings and equipment on that date was $7,080,-038.47. The physical plant of the university is in splendid condition. It is the university's policy to keep its plant in excellent condition from year to year. The operations of the university for the year 1942-1943 present a more favorable aspect than for the two years immediately preceding it. It will be recalled that threatening skies overhung the colleges and universities of the land during the early months of the year covered by this report. It was rhen evident that the draft age would be lowered from 21 years to 18 years with the result that grave inroads would be made in the registration of the College of Arts and Sciences, School of Business Administration and School of Law. In September the Secretary of War announced that members of the Enlisted Reserve Corps, which included the major part of the male students in these three divisions,would be called to active duty at the close of the first semester of the year. Furthermore, it was not until February, 1943, that the government approved a list of institutions for specialized training of Army and Navy personnel. Except for the favorableoperation of the SummerSession, the financialprospects for the year were extremely precarious until February when the government opened negotiations for the establishment at the university of the 23rd College Training Army Air Forces. Detachment, Fees received from students during the year covered by this report represented 80.9% of the total income of the university for the year. Student fees received during the yearwere approximately $60,000 greater than in the preceding year. The increases came particularly in the School of Medicine and in the SummerSession. The Schoolof Medicine was operated on a twelve months' basis instead of on an eight months' basis as heretoforewith the result that its income for the year was 26.5% greater than in the preceding year. Attendance in the SummerSessionwas greatly increased because of the inauguration of the accelerated curricula throughout the university, which enabled manyundergraduates to accomplish a semester's work during the twelve weeks of the extended SummerSession.As a result, feesreceived from students in the summer of 1942 were more than 100 % greater than in the summer of 1941. In the Schoolof Business Administration,Millard Fillmore College and the Schoolof Law feesreceived from students were less than in the preceding year. Additional income was received from the government for the use of campus buildings and for the operation and maintenance of buildings used by the Army Air Forces. The university budget was further relieved of instructional salaries to the degree that members of the regular teaching staff were employed in the teaching of Army Air Forces trainees. Two other government agencies contributed to the income of the university for the year. These were the Engineering, Science, Management War Training Program in which part-time registered, 3137 students were and the Civilian Pilot Training Program, operated by Millard Fillmore College, under the direction of the Civil Aeronautics Authority. Of the total expenses of the university for the year ended June 30, 1943,49.4% was for salaries of instruction; 55.6%. was for salaries of instruction, plus supplies used in instruction and operation and maintenance of libraries. United States,state and municipal government bonds, purchased by the univer- sity, yielded an averageincome of 2.469' on the actual investment; foreign government bonds,4.59%; railroad bonds,4.24%; public utility bonds, 4.79% ; industrial bonds, 3.85%; miscellaneous bonds, all gifts, 1.83% stocks,4.06% real estate mortgages and mortgage certificates,.6%. The averageyield on all stocks and bonds purchased and owned by the university, and excluding gifts, was 4.1% for the year. The rate of return on the invested funds of the university was adversely affectedby the acquisition of United States GovernmentBonds. ; ; On June 30, 1943 the stocks and bonds in the university portfolio which had been purchased by the university, and excluding gifts, were classifiedas follows on the basis of market worth: United States,state, municipal and foreign government bonds, 24.4%; railroad bonds,7%; public utility bonds,6%; industrial bonds,1.7%; public utility preferred stocks,13.3%; industrial preferred stocks,4.1%; investment trust preferred stocks, 1-8%; bank preferred stocks, 1.1%; rail common stocks,.8%; public utility common stocks,2.9%; industrial common stocks, 22.8%; bank capital stocks, 4.1%; insurance common stocks, 6.2%; investment trust common stocks,3.8%. The list is well diversified and of high quality. Gifts and bequests received during the which ended June 30, 1943 included the following: Jacob F. Schoellkopf Fund, $370,857.66; W.B.E.N. Inc., $9,500; International Railway Company, $6,000; a gift for the establishment of a Chemical Library Fund, $5,045; CharlesG. Duffy, for the establishment of the CharlesG. Duffy Scholarship, $5,000; Dexter P. Rumsey, $3,600; Estate of SusanFiske Rumsey, $2,880; Mrs. Harriet McNulty, addition to James H. McNulty Professorship Fund, $2,000; Rudolph B. Flershem, $2,000; Edward Michael, $2,000; Estate of Evelyn R. Cary, addition to Dr. Charles Cary Memorial Fund, $1,672; Mr. and Mrs. William J. Donovan,$1,520; Atlas Steel Casting Company, $1,500; Barmon Brothers, $1,500; Mr. and Mrs. John W. Cowper, $1,500; Mrs. Norman E. Mack, $1,500; Barcalo Manufacturing Company, $1,000; Dr. B. J. Bixby, $1,000; James McC. Mitchell, $1,000; Frank E. Wattles, $1,000; J. H. Williams, $1,000; J. H. Williams and Company, $1,000; and Clinton R. Wyckoff, $1,000. year The university apparently will be able its operations without deficits through this critical period. For the expansion further of the university and for the development of its existing facilities, it must continue,however,to look to its friends and to its alumni for their financial support. In this respect one of the most important and most encouraging developments in the history of the university has been the establishment during the past year of the Alumni Loyalty Fund to which, in the first year of its existence, almost 700 loyal alumni contributed. to carry on Respectfully submitted, GEORGED.

A skit illustrating the discussion was presented by Mrs. Arthur A. Whiting, radio chairman of the Amherst League of Women Voters. On January 29 Dean Lillias M. Macdonald entertained the alumnae directors and officers at a tea in the College Club. ' ' DENTISTRY At a dinner meeting last month at which officers were installed, the Dental new Alumni Association decided to hold its annual meeting next fall and also voted to give $500 to the university's Loyalty Fund. Russell W. Groh, DDS '18, new dean of the Dental School, and all alumni committeemen attended the meeting. LAW At the Law Alumni Association luncheon held last month in New York City in connection with the State Bar Association's annual meeting, Judge Charles B. Sears, vice-chairman of the university council, was guest of honor. Speeches in praise of his distinguished record as an attorney and as judge and referee of the Court of Appeals were made by John Lord O'Brian, '98, Philip Halpern, '23, and Justice Samuel J. Harris, '07, LLM '08. Acting Dean Halpern also pointed out that the war has brought about one of the school's lowest registrations, with only 25 in the freshman and senior classes. But it is one of the three largest in the country. Morey C. Bartholomew, '09, as chairman of the Fund committee, appealed for contributions to the Alumni Loyalty Fund. PHARMACY ALUMNAE Ethel I. Woodward, Phß '11, was hostess to alumnae of the School of Pharmacy at a donation card party on January 28. One-half of the funds raised at the party was contributed toward the completion of a girls' lounge in Foster Hall, the other half being used to supplement the scholarship fund. The alumnae held a dinner and theatre party on February 23 and are also planning a meeting in March. SOCIAL WORK The social work alumni heard Dean Niles Carpenter speak on "Social Conditions Among American Indians in the Dakotas and Minnesota" at their February luncheon meeting in the Y. W. C. A. Miss Helen Wayne, a supervisor in the New York State Department of Social Welfare who has been in charge of Indian affairs, also contributed to the program. The new social work representative to the General Alumni Board is Betty Knight Maunz, BA '33, Soc '38. 3 Air Cadets to Leave Although change long has been the order of the day and adjustment the password, the announcement of the withdrawal of the Army Air -i^rces Training Program at the university frill came as a surprise. For the many schools whose civilian registrations have declined, the loss of Army trainees presents real problems of war-time operation. Our own university falls into this group. Abandonment of the program will be accomplished gradually. AAF students now attending will complete their courses but no new ones will be accepted, thus bringing Buffalo's program to a close about May 15. The curtailment order affects approximately 70 colleges all over the country. The War Department said the move was in conformance with Gen. H. H. Arnold's recent report in which he stated that "as the war continues, emphasis will naturally shiftfrom training of vast numbers of new men to the training of replacements." The AAF emphasized that "elimination of any particular college does not reflect dissatisfaction relative to the performance of the school." The manner of elimination appears to be based on the principle of relieving an excessive and unnecessary burden on the nation's railway system and at the same time effecting a large saving of travel funds and military man hours in ... transit. Chancellor Capen pointed out that our present civilian registration is 850, compared to the average peacetime figure of somewhat less than 2,000. "I foresee grave problems in the immediate future," he said, "with little surcease foi the duration of the war. However, we shall meet them as they arise and shall do our best in trying circumstances." FEBRUARY IN REVIEW Feb. 2— Social Hygiene Day meeting at Hotel Statler. Dr. Earl D. Osborne, professor of dermatology and syphilology at the Medical school, moderator of the round table discussion.

Presentation of the Chancellor's Medal. — Fund Enters 2nd Year The year of infancy is over! And at the a reckoning shows that $6,865.88 was sent to the university through the Alumni end, Loyalty and Class Memorial Fund. The total represents gifts from 639 contributors and includes all money received after June 30, 1942 and before January 1, 1944. Certainly this is an excellent showing despite the fact that the number of those responding to the appeals represents less than 6% of the total alumni body. However, the Committee on Funds expects that 1944 will bring a marked increase in the number of those contributing as well as in the amount given. This hope is founded on the fact that $661 has already been received for the 1944 Alumni Loyalty Fund, $500 of which represents the very generous and unprecedented gift of the Dental — Alumni Association, and that more than 5450 has been contributed by Class Memorial pledgors thus far. Since most of the pledgors' statements were not mailed until February 1 and the 1944 Loyalty Fund appeal has not been launched in force yet, the returns of $1,100 are more than encouraging.

Burchfield Named Buffalo's Man of the Year His "convincing revelation of the beauty latent in familiar surroundings" earned the Chancellor's Medal of the university last month for Charles Ephraim Burchfield, "artist and master craftsman, pioneer exponent of American regionalism, authentic interpreter" of his home country and his epoch. This bestowal for the first time of Buffalo's only civic accolade upon a luminary of the fine arts highlighted the fortyfourth annual mid-year convocation exercises held on Feb. 22 in Kleinhans Music Hall. Recognized as the leading landscape painter in the country today, Mr. Burchfield vividly interprets on canvas distinctive aspects of the Westctn New York countryside, local streets and Buffalo Harbor. His painting of "the American scene'" before it was officially labeled is believed by many to have caused the return of American artists to an appreciation of their own local scene. Critics almost unanimously agree also that Mr. Burchfield has no peer in painting somber twilights, heavy snow, or brilliantly hued flowers. "The wholesale destruction wrought by this most destructive of wars" strongly emphasizes the fact that "the most nearly permanent human creations are the products of the mind and the imagination," the Chancellor pointed out in his citation address. "Behind the superficial ugliness of the typical American town, its unplanned streets, its shabby houses, its teeming railroad yards, its frequently awkward churches," the artist "has found aspects of arresting beauty," he continued. "The southern shore of Lake Erie, a land at once rough and gracious; a land of fierce winds and lowering skies, but of gentle Summers this is his land, the and luscious Falls land whose varying features he has sought to capture and disclose."' Mr. Burchfield received his art training at the Cleveland School of Art. For several years he designed wallpaper for M. H. Birge and Sons of Buffalo, devoting his free time to his easel. In 1929 he decided to concentrate exclusively on his painting. He has been represented in almost every national show since 1928 and his exhibition at the Rehn Gallery in New York last November was selected by the Art News as one of the 10 best shows of 1943. .. CHARLES E. BURCHFIELD, INTERPRETER OF "THE AMERICAN SCENE" The recipient of some of the highest awards offered to artists in this country, Mr. Burchfield has received second prize at the Carnegie International Art Exhibition, Pittsburgh (1935); first prize at the Newport, R. L, annual exhibition (1936); the Award of Merit Medal of the American Academy of Arts and the American Institute of Arts and Letters, New York (1942); and first prize at the San Diego, Cal., exhibition (1943). He was elected to the American Institute in 1943. A complete one-man show of his most noted works will be staged at the Albright Art Gallery in Buffalo from April 14 to May 15. 67 Are Graduated Sixty-seven degrees and certificates were awarded at the exercises, as follows: degrees—bachelor of arts, 22; bachelor of library science, 2; bachelor of science in the School of Business Administration, 3; bachelor of education, 3; bachelor of science in nursing, 9; master of arts, 1; master of business administration, 1; master of education, 6; master of social service, 2; and certificates—in business administration, 1; public health nursing, 1; social work, 1; {Continued on Page 2) �UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 2 1944 FUNDS START THE YEAR WITH A BANG 245 Contributors Send $1,281.80 The second annual appeal for contributions to the Alumni Loyalty Fund will soon be issued. Recent events such as the curtailment of the Army Air Forces college training program have strengthened our realization of the uncertainty of the present and unpredictability of the future. Thus far, our university has managed to keep its head well above water and will, we trust, continue to do so with our help. If you wish to send your gift early, it will be that much more welcome.

The grand total of $1281.50 represents almost one-fifth of the 56865.88 collected from July 1, 1942 to Dec. 31, 1943.

ALUMNI PROMOTED Alumni for whom changes of rank have been received since they were listed in previous issues of the Bulletin are given below, arranged according to their new ranks. Hero of a 2000-mile Arctic flight to save the life of a soldier is Maj. Daniel H. Maunz, PhG '24, MD "31, of the Army Medical Corps, who made his first parachute jump to perform an emergency operation. He made the perilous flight from Presque Isle, Me., to northern Baffin Land, 400 miles inside the Arctic Circle where a member of an outpost staff was ill with acute appendicitis. A transport plane, guided by an aerial explorer, circled down to 1200 feet above the snowbound post. Four small parachutes carrying medical and surgical supplies went over and the major followed, landing in a snowbank less than 300 yards from the outpost. Marooned at the station nine weeks because of unfavorable landing conditions, Maj. Maunz suffered a leg fracture when a sled motor pinned him to the ground. He fashioned splints and set the leg himself. Eventually a plane landed and he was transferred to a base hospital at Presque Isle. The appendectomy was successful. Red Cross Field Director Frank D. Baron, BS (Ed) '34, in Bougainville on Dec. 24 awoke at dawn to find the earth and air about him all aquiver. "There was a small active volcano nearby," he explained later, "and I decided that it must be erupting. Then the earth under my feet gave a sickening heave, and I fell down, as did the other boys. Trees were grinding and groaning as the earth twisted and turned under them. There were two 155-mm guns in the camp area, and they went off with a terrific bang to climax the whole thing. Both they and the air-raid siren had gone off accidentally from the shaking they received. After the convulsion stopped, we found nothing left of our camp and bombproof shelter but a few fogs sticking out of a heap of torn sandbags and earth." Listed by the War Department as missing in action since Feb. 22, Second Lt. Eugene Senfield, BS (Bus) '39, now is known to be a prisoner of war in Germany, the International Red Cross has disclosed. Pilot of a B-17 bomber, he arrived in Casablanca just before New Year's Day and by the end of January had completed 17 missions. Operating a roadside evacuation hospital just ahead of the Ledo Road in Burma is Capt. John A. Leone, MD '27.

Red Cross Field Director Aaron Weinstein, LLB '34, former Buffalo attorney and assistant manager of the Lakeview Housing Project, and Pfc. Aaron Weinstein in New Delhi were recently entangled in a bewildering series of events. It all began when Pfc. Weinstein, who is no relation to the Buffalo Weinstein, received a five dollar Christmas gift from the Buffalo Housing Authority. Not knowing anyone in Buffalo, the G. I. thought it was a splendid example of Yuletide spirit. Then came a letter informing him that "Junior" was on the way and his wife was in excellent health.

Program Pan-American Institute designed to An Inter-American promote hemispheric solidarity celebrated University of Buffalo Day on April 13. Principal speaker was Senor Julio Alvarez Del Vayo, foreign minister of Spain under the republic. "Seizure of power by pro-Fascist officers in Argentina and the change of government in Bolivia are elements of a great German plot to undermine American solidarity," Senor Del Vayo de- clared. "There is not any country in South America safe from a coup d'etat," he continued, pointing out that the Spanish Government is an active supporter of fifth column activities there. "Every Spanish Falangist embassy, consulate and trade mission is carrying on the nefarious work of the Germans. German submarines refuel at Spanish ports and vital supplies are sent to Hitler, he explained. "I am proud of beinp a Spaniard and it is not easy for me to say don't send food to Spain," he added. Another feature of the day was a roundtable discussion of Air Transportation in Latin America. Only the failure of the United States government to establish an air policy with other nations darkens the bright outlook for a great era of air commerce with South America after the war, the experts concluded. A talk by Dr. Harold E. Davis, director of the educational division of the office of the Co-ordinator of Inter-American Affairs; a lecture on The Music of the Americas by Mrs. Charles Mott.

Dr. Gilcreast is president of the Pan-American Council of Buffalo which sponsored the program. " Veterans' Education For veterans returning from this war, the University has planned an 11-point program of educational services covering virtually every field of study and making special provision to assist the discharged service man in bridging the gulf between his life as a soldier and his life as a student. The program, announced by Chancellor Samuel P. Capen, has been established partly as a result of the "G. I. Bill," now in process of enactment. The bill provides one year of college education for every returned veteran who has served six months in the armed forces and more than one year if he has been incapacitated. The services offered in the University's program include: individual education guidance; information on vocational opportunities ; arranging for university credit for military experience and specialized training programs; and voluntary testing service for aptitudes and program advisement.

Shadle, chairman of the unit. Since the unit was established in October, 1942, 481 women, principally from the University district, have worked 16,030 hours to produce 199,000 surgical dressings and surgical masks. Its quota was 170,000, or 1,000 per month as stipulated by Red Cross headquarters in granting permission for the organization of the unit. In addition, 705 knitted garments were completed by 225 persons. A committee on veterans' educational services has been appointed at the University with Chancellor Capen as chairman and Dean Lewis A. Froman as vice chairman. Information on the veterans' program is available at Dean Froman's office, 125 Ciosby Hall. A site on the University campus is one of two being considered by the State Education Department in connection with the establishment in Buffalo of a state institute of technical training to serve the Niagara Frontier in the immediate postwar period. The department will establish institutes to train men and women in arts, crafts, subprofessions and technologies, including agriculture, retail business management and aeronautics, through curricula not exceeding two years in length. It may take title to lands and buildings in preparing for the education of returning veterans or persons released from war industries. According to the Education Department's plans, the courses to be offered at the Buffalo institute will be for high school graduates and will be two years in length. FARBER WINS FELLOWSHIP Dr. Marvin Farber, professor and chairman of the department of philosophy, has been appointed to a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship for research on a program for constructive philosophy. He will undertake a project which will involve a discussion of the merits and limitations of the various philosophical methods in relationship to specific problems, and the development of a set of directive and regulative theses. A founder of the International Phenomenological Society and the quarterly journal, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, of which he is editor, Dr. Farber has published numerous studies and is the author of books and articles on philosophy and phenomenology.

E READY TO ANSWER THE 1944 FUND CALL �3 ALUMNI BULLETIN 1944 SUMMER SESSION MARKS THIRD DECADE - Pre flight aeronautics for elementary school pupils, the advisement, education and placement of veterans, the art of the moving picture, a writer's workshop, Russia from 1860 to the present day, children in wartime, social work problems arising out of military service—these are but a few of the up-to-the-minute studies and activities that students at the University will be engaged in this summer. The Summer Session will be lengthened by one week, being conducted on an 18-week basis this year to serve accelerating students. The extra week will be added to the special period, from May 22 to July 1, which is planned for the special needs of some departments. The next period, from July 5 to August 12, also will offer courses for teachers and school administrators. The last period will start August 14 and end September 23. The normal Summer Session program for any one six-week period is six semester hours, and the maximum is eight semester hours. The number of semester hours which may be carried during an entire summer is limited to the number of weeks attended plus two. Thus a student who attends the 18-week session may earn more than a semester of credit. The Summer Session program has again been planned to meet the needs of its three main types of students, regular college students, recent high school graduates and educators now in the school system. Special War-Related Courses Courses in pre-flight aeronautics have been established in thousands of schools throughout the United States. Their purpose is to educate youth to an understanding of the importance of aviation in the present war effort and in post war living and to prepare some of them to enter aviation occupations. Recognizing that the quality of instruction depends upon an adequate supply of qualified teachers, the Summer Session is offering a laboratory course in which problems concerned with the development and organization of instructional materials for classes in pre-flight aeronautics may be studied. The United Air Lines school and college service department has given a summer scholarship grant to the University to assist teachers in pre-flight aeronautics instruction. The recipients are to be selected on the basis of (1) superior teaching and leadership ability, (2) interest in the services that aviation is rendering our war effort and will render the public in the post war age, (3) desire to make a worthwhile contribution for the age of flight, and in some instances, (4) the need for financial help in order to attend the Summer Session. Those who are interested should notify the Summer Session Office of the University. Meteorology. Tutorial Work in Geography and Geology, and Introduction to Navi- TREE-LINED VISTA LEADS TO BOOKSTORE Picture, including gation and Piloting will also be offered for those interested in pre-flight aeronautics. Problems in the Advisement and Education of Veterans will be considered in a new course which will include organization for serving veterans, educational and vocational counseling, techniques of interviewing, disabilities in relation to occupations, mental hygiene, relations with private and governmental agencies, and placement. Art Courses on Campus This year, for the first time, all Albright Art School courses being given in the Summer Session may be taken on the University campus. Two of the art instructors are new to the Summer Session. They are Charles Le Clair and Edna P. Meibohm, Edß '36. New Courses Design and Criticism in the Visual Arts will provide a basis for distinguishing between good, mediocre and bad works of art, regardless of their historical origin. Motion pictures as a branch of drama will be considered in The Art of the Moving ATTENTION ALUMNI! You can be of great service to your school, particularly at this time, if you will urge superior high school seniors to consider the University as the college of their choice. With the departure of the Air Corps trainees, it is more essential than ever that the University's civilian registration be kept as high as possible without in any way allowing a deterioration of standards. Be a good alumnus—interest at least one student in your alma mater this year. American and foreign films and producers, propaganda, cartoon and documentary films, and the criticism of current productions. A guided Writers' Workshop is designed to cultivate the ability to write interestingly by the composition of frequent short writings. Development of subject-matter and vigor in style in both prose and verse will be emphasized. The School of Social Work will present two new courses. Children in Wartime will deal with the effects of wartime conditions upon child welfare, the special problems in child behavior, parental neglect, daytime care, child labor, health and emotional disturbances. Social Work Problems Arising out of Military Service will include military welfare, home service to families of armed force personnel, special problems of rejectees and military discharged cases, wartime community services, rehabilitation of devastated areas, war prisoners, refugees and victims, political and racial discrimination. Russia (1860-1944) is being given by the History department. It will cover the gradual westernization of Russia before 1914; Lenin and the revolution of 1917; the Communist regime, the industrialization of Russia and its relation with other powers until the present year. This department will also offer a course on Latin America, a survey of the political, economic and cultural history of the Latin American republics from the close of the wars for independence to the present and their relations with each other and the United States. These and other courses being offered for the first time in the Summer Session are in addition to the regular program which includes customary courses in all major fields. �4 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO ALUMNI BULLETIN Published monthly except July, August and September, by the University of Buffalo at 3435 Main Street, Buffalo 14.

By the time you read this, two appeals to the 1944 Alumni Loyalty Fund will have been mailed. Have you responded with your gift? As this is written,gifts are coming in so steadily in answer to the first mail appeal that it seemed unwise to try to list the names of the contributors. Their gifts therefore,are not included in the summarywhich appears in the table. However, an early report indicates that almost $600 had been sent in by 41 interested alumni during the five days immediately following the first mailing. A satisfactory beginning, indeed! A Message from the University Sincethere is no person better qualified to speak on the present situation of the University and its immediate prospects than its head, ChancellorCapen was asked to prepare a statement on this subject for the informationof the alumni body. Part of is given below. his message For more than a yearthe University has been in part a military training school. A unit of five hundred A.A.F. cadets has been quartered on the campus. The Medical and Dental Schools have also had assigned to them approximately four hundred Army and Navy trainees. The civilian enrollment has been reduced by about fifty percent. Nevertheless,for this smaller number the University has continued the regular program of instruction in all its divisions. The Army has recently ordered the discontinuance of almost all collegiate training units, except those devoted to medicine, dentistry and engineering. The University is therefore losing its A.A.F. cadets and there is little prospect of further military assignments. This will be a serious blow to us, as you can readily understand. Not only uill the University's direct contribution to the war be less impressive and less satisfying to the faculty, but the institution will be poorer, since the payments made by the Army for housing and instructing the cadets will cease. The faculty and administrative officers have not let this prospect daunt them,however. They have turned their attention to their next obligation. They are actively engaged in planning to meet the special needs of returning ex-service men and women. Before very long many of these may be expected to attend the University to pursue either short special courses or one or another of the regular degree programs.Indeed, a few who have received medical discharges are already enrolled. I hope and believe that when returning veterans are among us in large numbers we shall be fully prepared to give them effective help in continuing their education and in making the readjustment to civilian life. The University is also projecting one 1944 ALUMNI LOYALTY FUND Returns as of May 6 No. of Amount Loyalty Fund alone $ 738.00 ClassMemorial Funds 855.00 Givers 26 311 Grand Totals Less Duplicates $1,593.00 337 6 Net Totals .$1,593.00 331 interesting expansion. It is engaged in raising a fund by special subscription to erect and equip an engineering laboratory. With this addition to its facilities it can offer a jour year program in engineering. The response to the University's appeal his been very encouraging. I believe the moneyfor the building will be in hand by the time the Govtrnmentrestrictions on new construction are lifted. Chancellor Capen concluded his statement of the with an expression of the confidence administrative authorities that the high scholastic quality and the atmosphere of freedomof the University can be preserved even in these uncertain times with alumni help and sympathetic understanding. This is our chance to demonstrate our loyalty by supporting our Alma Mater in a time of great uncertainty. If you haven't already done so, please send your gift now. Pre-Mailing Returns The tabular report as of May 6th indicates that both the Loyalty and Memorial Funds have been prospering very well, even before the Loyalty mail appeals were issued. And many of the returns are again coming from alumni in service. One letter received last month from a Memorial Fund agent was unusual enough to warrant inclusion in this article. It read as follows: Received and forwarded the Memorial Fund material today but I'm sorry to say that I can't send in my own dues. At present I'm at the front in Italy, and as we're paid in Military currency, and I brought no check book. I'll have to postpone my payments for the time being. Promise 'tho that I'll catch up when the time comes! Cap!., Dental Corps. (DDS — — '41). — The spirit shown by the men and women overseas is indeed heartening and also worthy of emulation on the part of those of us on the home front.

The gifts have already gone beyond the $4,000 mark —with six months of the year remaining and gifts sti'l coming in steadily as a result of the second mailing. Living up to its instigators' highest hopes, the first year for the Fund was a record-making one. Chairman Morey C. Bartholomew,LLB '09, said in his report. It achieved success with 312 contributors sending in almost $6,000 and 351 class pledgors giving another $1,000. The start made on the Fund is of the greatest promise, Chancellor Samuel P. Capen, a guest speaker at the meeting, pointed out Predicting a decrease of 50 per cent in the number of students on campus he said that the resulting loss in student feesmay require the University to budget a deficit for the next year. He expressed the hope, however,that the loss of revenue might be somewhat offset by the attendance of veterans as they graduallyreturn to civilian life. Erection of a plaque at the end of the war, paying tribute to all graduates, former students and faculty members who served and listing in memorial form all those graduates who died while in service,was proposed in the report of Griffith G. Pritchard, DDS 18, chairman of the Committee on Activities, and approved by the board. Dorothea C. Duttweiler, BA '37, reporting for the Committeeon Associations and Clubs, listed the accomplishments of the which have had "an historical associations, year" with some of them coming "to the fore with renewed vitality." Plans have been partially carried out for the development of a class representative system of organization by divisions. This system of class agents will provide a large group of informed, working alumni as a medium through which to promote, foster and improve the public relations of the University, the chairman of the Committeeon Public Relations,Emily H. Webster,BA '23, pointed out. The Committeeon Bequests gave an "indefinite" report because the results of its efforts are difficult to determine. Chairman George G. Davidson,Jr., LLB '97, reported that three mailings have been sent Medical and Dental Schools,mostly for books and equipment. Leon J. Gauchat, DDS 19, retiring president, extended a welcome to the board's special guests, Chancellor Capen, James McC. Mitchell, LLB "97, and Arthur I. Goldberg, BA '31. The divisional representatives were then introduced. They are: Alumnae,Mrs. Adele Boehmke Morris, BA '36, Soc '40; Arts, Dr. Ra'ph B. Elliott, BA '29; Business, Howard J.

A rising vote of thanks was given to Mrs. Evelyn Jaeckle Noshay, BA '38, for her excellent work as acting alumni secretary and announcement was made of the appointment of Mrs. Hildegarde Graf Scott, BA '35, MA '39, as her successor.

Arts Alumni Convene On June 1, the officersand executive committee of the Arts Alumni Association met at the home of President Ralph B. Elliott, '29, to discuss plans for the coming year. For the second year, the spring banquet had become a war casualty, but its loss seemed not too great because so many of the men graduates of this division are in service or engaged in arduous war work and the women had had the opportunity of attending the Alumnae Association's spring banquet. It was decided,however,that an election should be held to replace the officerswho had served for the last two years. The following candidates were chosen,allowing for "write-in" alternates for all officesexcept that of new representative to the General Alumni Board,a position automatically filled by the retiring president. The ballot below should be detached and sent to the Alumni Office, Crosby Hall, University of Buffalo,Buffalo 14,New York. j PRESIDENT: : : □ Waring John T. Horron, '26 : A.

Engineering School Needed in WNY Support of the University's efforts to an engineering school, which, he emphasized, is direly needed in this area, was urged by Dr. Lewis A. Wilson, deputy commissioner of education of New York State, at the 98th annual commencement in Kleinhans Music Hall on May 24. Describing U. B. as "one of New York State'soutstanding universities,"Dr. Wilson pointed out that an engineering college, important both to local youth and to continued development of local industries, "deserves to be considered as one of the most important post-war projects in this community." "Your institution," he said, in reference to the University, "has served the youth, not only of Buffalo but of the state and nation for nearly a century in a varied number of fields. "The leadership of your graduates over this long period has made an indelible impression upon the cultural, social and economic welfareof both state and union." establish The University of Buffalo is located in "the second greatest metropolitan area of the state, an inland empire havinga population exceeding a million people residing within 50 miles of its campus. This population is greater than that of the state of Rhode Island, Maine or Montana or of any one of ten other states. "The exer-expanding field of engineering education in all its phases is destined to play an increasingly important role in the future economic life of America," the commissioner added. He stressed the need for an engineering school because of the wide diversity of the sections industries, unequalled in any similar area of the state. The traditional academic procession to the strains of Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance" combined with the military aspects of the exercises to make this graduation a memorable one. The most impressive phase of the ceremonies was the administration of the oath and presentation of Army and Navy commissions to 34 dental graduates. Eight of the graduates who received first lieutenants' commissions have been ordered to active duty. ChancellorSamuelP. Capen, who in his prefatory remarks called attention to the important role universities are playing in the war effort, conferred 160 degrees and certificates. In his Baccalaureate address on Sunday, May 21, the Chancellorcautioned Americans to be "fore-warned and fore-armed" that the end of the war will be the cue for demagogues, bigots and subversive elements to step upon the stage and take advantage of the immediate confusion. While winning the war must be the first consideration, America must prepare for the challenge of the day of victory. For then, he explained, the nation "will need men and women who believe passionately in the rule of law and the equal application of the law to all; who are determined that the government shall be all times the servant of the people, never their master; who will stand up for the rights of minorities against all attacks from whatever source; who are convinced that the slow and often halting processes of democracy offer the surest road to individual and social improvement." "Every one who understands the genius of American institutions believes that the controls should be progressively relayed as the instruments of production and distribution resume their normal functioning, and that they should disappear altogether at the earliest safe date." The following degrees and certificates were awarded: certificatein secretarial and office administration,5; certificatein business administration,2; certificatein public health nursing, 1; certificatein arts and 2; degree of bachelor of science m sciences, industrial technology, I; degree of bachelor of science in nursing, 4; degree of bachelor of science (in the Schoolof Business Administration), 5; degree of bachelor of library science,4; degree of bachelor of arts, 44; degree of bachelor of education, 14; degree of bachelor of science in pharmacy, 13; graduate certificatein social work, 6; degree of master of social service,3; degree of master of education,4; degree of master of arts, 7; degree of doctor of dental surgery,45. at NEXT BULLETIN IN FALL This is the last issue of the Alumni Bulletin until October.None will be published during the summer but the next issue will be sent to Buffalo alumni and friends at the beginning of the fall semester of the 1944-1945 academic year. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

With veterans of this war now able to get a college education of from one to four years at government expense in accordance with the provisions of the new Veterans' Bill, the University of Buffalo has prepared to receive a large number of 17 Year-Olds Parade AIR RESERVES ARRIVE Suddenly and dramatically, the pall of emptiness which had settled over the campus after the exodus of the army air cadets last May was dispelled early in July when more than 300 17-year-old soldier-students,members of the Army Specialized Training Reserve program,arrived for the special training the University was selected to provide. Enthusiastic about their studies and campus life, the new students receive academic instruction from members of the University faculty for from three to nine months, depending on their age. In the order that they reach their eighteenth birthdays, they leave U. B. for advanced study. The unit is part of the 3215th Service CommandService Unit stationed at the Medical Schoolbut the training and type of men differ widely. One group is destined for the medical corps, the other for the air corps. The Dental Schoolunit was discontinued Sept. 23 in accordance with the War Department's policy of discharging its dental-training units throughout the country. Given the choice of entering the medical corps as enlisted men or of continuing in the Dental School as civilians, nearly all decided to complete their dental courses. (Continued on Page 2) M. E. DEGREE OFFERED A four-year programin mechanical engineering was inaugurated at the University this Fall and approximately half of the $300,000 needed for an engineering laboratory has already been raised- -two important advancements toward the University's goal of a Schoolof Engineering. The establishment of a full engineering program at the University has been voluntarily aided by manyindustrialists who be- lieve that the lack of such a programhas definitely been impeding the proper growth of Western New York's industrial system. The course also comes in answer to the demand of local youth for an opportunity to obtain an engineering degree while living at home. ProfessorPaul Eugene Mohn of the University of Illinois has been chosen to head the new department and will have the task of installing and developing the program. The laboratory is expected to be ready for use by the time the new students enter their second or third year. Meanwhile,a small laboratory, previously devoted to elementary engineering, is being used. "We realize that there are relatively few male civilian students (only 17-year-olds and those deferredfor physical and other reasons) available to undertake this pro(Continued on Page 3) returned servicemen this Fall. An illustrated brochure entitled "A College Education Under the G. I. Bill" has just been issued by the University offering a complete account of the college training available under the bill and of the facilities and courses provided by the University. Alumni are urged to help their friends who are returning veterans as well as their Alma Mater by calling their attention to this new program. "The University of Buffalo is happy to welcome home you men and women of Western New York who have served in America's armed forces," the p3mphlet points out. "If you want to continue your education where you left off or if you want to start afresh,the University will be ready to advise,assist and receive you." It "offers a broad program of courses, including many distinctive featuresand special services for veterans." Bill's Provisions Outlined "The GovernmentWill Help!" the brochure continues: "If you were under 26 years of age when you entered the armed forcesor if you were over 26 and your education was interrupted by the war—and if you served at least 90 days after Sept. 16, 1940—you are automatically entitled to a minimum of one year's education. Also, you must possess an honorable discharge from service and you must be acceptable for admission to college. "The government will pay tuition and other feesnot to exceed $500 for an ordinary school year. "In addition, it will pay a subsistence allowance of S5O a month to a veteran without dependents, with an additional $25 a month for one or more dependents. This allowance will cover completely fee requirements as well as tuition at the University of Buffalo and should be more than sufficient to take care of living expenses. "University credit is given for military experience and specialized training programs. "Don't procrastinate! The time to go to college is now." Veterans are advised to get further information and copies of the pamphlet at the Personnel Office in Edmund Hayes Hall. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO LOYALTY FUND CLASSAGENT SYSTEM LAUNCHED Fund Rises Steadily Over Last Year's Figure Where is the other 96%??? To date, in the 1944 Fund Appeal only 47r —or 419 of the 11,500 alumni—have given! Of last year's 312 contributors, 189 have forgotten the current appeal. This Fall the "Class Agent" system is going into effect. Each division of the Fund Committeeof the GeneralAlumni Board has selected new members;and each of these divisional committees is in the process of selecting agents for everyclass that has graduated from their school. As the agents are chosen and accept their responsibility, they will begin to contact the men and women of their class. We have not set a quota for our annual Loyalty Fund appeal but we are hoping to see it grow by leaps and bounds each year. We are not asking for pledges for futureyears—send what you can now and when next year comes, you can decide what to send then. The unstable position of most of the higher-educational institutions of the country indicates clearly the great need our own Alma Mater has for the support of ALL of us now! Sendyour gift today to the Alumni Office. Crosby Hall, University of Buffalo, Buffalo 14, N. Y. If you have already given this year, please do no; think that we are making another appeal if you receive literature about the Fund —we just want you to know what is beinc sent out. The following list includes the names of arranged by classes, contributors, whose gifts to the Alumni Loyalty and ClassMemorial Funds were received after June 12. 1944 and on or before September 18. 1944.

Mr. Crosby was a member of the University council from 1920 until 1943 and for a year served as treasurer. MOLD CHECKS TB GERM ASSISTANT DEAN CHOSEN A greenmold which inhibits the growth of tuberculosis germswas discovered accidentally in an icebox at the School of Medicine by two of the University's faculty members,Dr. David K. Miller, professor of medicine,and Albert C. Rekate, MD '40, hospital assistant. The discovery was announced in the scientificjournal "Science." As a result of their find, the two physicians have received a $7,500 grant from the Office of ScientificResearch and Development to continue the research. Although penicillin has thus far been unsuccessfulin fighting tuberculosis,the mold belongs to the penicillin group of fungi. The mold was found growing on a culture of tuberculosis germs in a laboratory icebox. When it proved to grow more luxuriantly on the germs than on any other kind of food, the experimenters next tried its effect on tuberculosis germsgiven StocktonKimball, MD '29, was named assistant dean of the Schoolof Medicine by ChancellorSamuelP. Capen in July. A member of the faculty for seven years, Dr. Kimball spent two months in 1943 studying malaria and other tropical diseases at the Army Medical School,Walter Reed Hospital, Washington, and later studied the diseases at first hand in Costa Rica and Guatemalafor six weeks,a course sponsored by the Markle Foundation. In addition, ten alumni were appointed to positions on the faculty and 13 alumni faculty members were promoted. The new appointees include: Medicine—Joseph G. Krvstaf, '27, associate in otolaryngology; GrosvenorW. Bissell, '39, instructor in medicine. Nursing—lvan L. Bunnell,MA '42, MD '43, instructor in anatomy; Wanda R. Galantowicz, BA '31, instructor in clinical nursing; Frederick G. Stoesser, MD "29, instructor in surgical nursing; Louis A. Siegel, MD '23, assistant professor of obstetrics; Dr. Donald M. Kumro, AC '21, BS '24, instructor in chemistry. Arts and Sciences —Donald L. Woernley, BA '34, MA '40, assistant professor of to guinea pigs. Human tuberculosis germs,which cause 100 per cent tuberculosis and death in guinea pigs, were first inoculated with the mold and allowed to stand in tubes for one or two days. These mold-treated germs failed in manycases even to give the pigs tuberculosis. Examination of the tubes showed,however,that the mold did not kill the germs, even after several months, but merely inhibited growth. This is exactly like the action of penicillin and the sulfas, which inhibit growth but don't kill in test tubes. An even more interesting feat of the new mold is to destroy the potency of tuberculin within two hours. This indicates that the mold feedsdirectly on the poison which tuberculosis germsproduce, since/that poison is the basis of tuberculin. The mold has great possibilities but its significance is still unknown. Unfortunately neither test tubes nor guinea pigs ever have been of value in predicting what a tuberculosis remedy will do for human beings. green M. E. Degree Offered (Continued from Page 1) now," ChancellorSamuelP. Capen explained. "But we speeded up plans for program the to accommodate returning gram veterans. TWO BEQUESTS ANNOUNCED The library of the late C SumnerJones. MD '88, dean of the Medical Schoolfrom 1918 to 1927, is to be divided between the University and the Children'sHospital according to the will of his son, Pascal Pratt Jones,who died in July. In addition, $2,500 was left to the University in funds bearing the dean's name for the purchase of additional books. As a token of "the great esteem" in which he held Thomas B. Lockwood,law '96, co-donor of Lockwood Memorial Library, John Wood, who for many years operated a restaurant in North Division Street, between Main and Washington, willed $5,000 to the University for maintenance of the library. "Surveys among the men thus far discharged by the services reveal an overwhelming majority are interested in engineering and related subjects, such as electronics. The University, in introducing its full four-year engineering programat this time, thereforehopes to be of special service to the returning veterans of the West- New York area." ChancellorCapen asserted that Professor Mohn, who has a 22-year career in teaching, industrial engineering, research and writing and is widely known for his contributions to the field, was chosen after the University had considered candidates from all sections of the country and had interviewed several of them. "I believe the University is fortunatein securing the services of such an individual ern physics. Education—Helen G. Pratt, BS(Ed) '30, lecturer in educaton. Alfred A.

Koepf, '37, from instructor to associate in physiology. as ProfessorMohn whose experience and personal qualifications seem so well to qualify him for the job of initiating and administering the new engineering program at the University,'" Dr. Capen said. "The University is organizing its new engineering program in such a way that there will be close cooperation between the school and the industries of this area," he continued. "The University already has in effectfor interested students a work-and-study cooperative arrangement with local industries." Part-time students who wish to do so may participate in the engineering program through the Millard Fillmore College evening courses. �4 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO ALUMNI BULLETIN Published monthly except July, August and September, by the University of Buffalo at 3435 Main Street.

Our graduates and friends from all over the country, and even the boys overseas, have been sending in their contributions, large and small, to help make the '44 Fund grow. In its second year the Loyalty Fund has gone 'way over the 1943 first year total of which we were very proud. Around the first of November this year's Fund figures were about equal to last year's of $5,824.95 when the first class agent letters went out from the Pharmacy agents. The Pharmacy graduates are responding wholeheartedly to their classmates' appeal and have helped to put the '44 total up to $6744.00as of December 14th. Congratulations, Pharmacy School! The class agent letters for Education, Nursing, Social Work, Dentistry, Arts, and Business Administration are in the mails now, and if these graduates do as well as, or better than the Pharmacy School, we will have a fund well on its way to being on a par with that of other big colleges. That's an excellent record for just a two-year old Fund. May we take this opportunity to thank the chairmen and their committees for each School, as well as the class agents chosen so far, who have all cooperated so splendidly in putting this new system across? If any agents want to know how well their classes are responding before the Honor Roll is printed, just call the Alumni Office,or drop a line to 237 Crosby Hall. This year the Honor Roll will give the list of class agents and will show how well each school did. Will your name be on the 1944 Honor Roll of contributors? Remember that when you give to the Loyalty Fund you are helping to preserve an educational unit for yourself and your children, and the teachers of all children. And also remember that Education is the one thing which will prevent future wars. Education for the many,many children of the poorer classes who so out-number the children of the more widely educated people. Let us all have a share in preserving this world which our boys are giving their lives to keep. Let's send our bit in to the Alumni Loyalty Fund today.

DANTE COLLECTION BEQUEATHED TO LIBRARY The Dante library of Mrs. Katherine Woodford Simpson, the result of many teaching, is to be years of collecting and presented to Lockwood Memorial Library. The collection is considered one of the finest in the country. The only person in the world to hold the degree of doctor of Etruscology, Mrs. Simpson left behind a world reputation as an authority on Dante and on the Truscans, who preceded the Italians in Italy. Her husband,Lewis W. Simpson, received a bachelor of laws degree from the University in 1898, and she herself was a member of the faculty for several years.

Many undergraduate veterans who plan earn degrees will undoubtedly want to they completed at the University before they went into service. Those who already have degrees but have had no opportunity to make use of their specialized training while in service may need to review briefly their last few yearsof college work. With these needs in mind, the Law, Dental and Medical Schoolshave already made plans to provide refresher courses for returning veterans. The Law School program, drawn up under the direction of Dr. Arthur Lenhoff, has been accepted by the faculty and is ready to go into operation next fall. While going on with their regular courses, undergraduate students may take a 6-to-8 weeks review of the last year of work they completed before going into service. Courses will also be available for lawyers who have already been admitted to the bar. They will be of three to brush up on the work HAYES HALL CHIMES - The chimes in Hayes Hall belfry which ring out the quarter hours across the campus have a nostalgic sound to everyone who has attended the University during the last 16 years. They are copies of famous English chimes which first pealed out in 1794 when they were installed in St. Mary's Church the Great in Cambridge, England. In 1859, the chimes were copied for the House of Parliament and since then have been popularlyknown as the Westminster Quarters. The original quarters were in the key of C, and the notes were E, D, C and G. The University of Buffalo set is one key lower, B-flat, and the notes are D, C, Bflat and F. The bells, together with the tower clock, were the gift of Mrs. Edward H. Butler, a member of the University council. Each of the four bells bears an inscription. The late Cuthbert W. Pound,judge of the Court of Appeals of the State of New York, wrote the following words for the largest bell: "All truth is one. 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."

Although all extra equipment was thrown overboard immediately, the plane struck the waves with such terrific force that all six men aboard her were knocked unconscious. Only two the navigator and the engineer survived the crash and neither later remembered how he got out of the plane. SecondLt. Irving Rubin, BA '41, navigator of that B-26, lost his "Mae West" but was kept afloat by the engineer despite the factthat the latter's back had been broken. The tube for their life raft having been smashed, the two men floated in the water for an hour before other planes could drop a rubber boat to them. Then followed six more hours of waiting before their rescue could be effected. Lt. Rubin, who was suffering from ten fracturedribs, a punctured lung, a broken shoulder,broken jaw, several cuts, broken teeth and an injury to bis heel, was in an oxygen tent for three days and hospitalized for three months. He is now back in the United States,serving as a navigator and bombardier instructor. coast —- — Awards Received Winner of the Navy Cross is Lt. Frank M.

The 23rd College Training Detachment (Air Crew), in the months that it was at full strength, numbered 500. The 3215th ServiceCommand ServiceUnit of the Army Specialized Training Program stationed in the medical and dental schools had a contract enrollment of 340 members. A Navy V-12 Unit stationed in the medical and dental schools continued to enroll approximately 50 apprentice seamen. Actually in the University of Buffalo during the year under review the civilian enrollment of the medical school has constituted 17.6% of the total and in the dental school 13.6% of the total. Withdrawal of the Army Air Forces' Unit In consequence of the Army Air Forces' decision to discontinue half of the collegiate training centers at once those most remote from the flight training fieldsfirst the enrollment in the 23rd College Training Detachment declined month by month from January to May 1944, when the last contingent of cadets was transferredand the unit closed. The Army Specialized Training Program Purposes and Policies The purpose of the Army Specialized Training Program was to provide for the Army a continuing supply of specialists in every field which involved mastery of the more advanced intellectual materials and techniques. The fields in question have always been the exclusive province of the colleges and universities. The military authorities came late to the recognition of the indispensability of the colleges and universities for the maintenance of an effectivemodern army. As the scale of the mobilization increased,however, it became plain that the requisite number of specialists could not be secured by means either of the draft or of voluntary enlistment; or even by any practicable plan of student deferment.The ASTP. as it is commonly called,was the War Department's solution of the problem that it faced. The War Department's plari contemplated a continuous total enrollment, after the maximum had been reached,of somewhere in the neighborhood of 150.000 men. But on February 18, 1944 representatives of the colleges and universities were informed that for reasons of imperative military necessity the War Department intended ■ — — — to call to active duty forthwith approximately 110,000 members of the ASTPunits. The only training units to be continued thenceforthat full strength were to be those in medicine,dentistry and advanced engineering. Changing Policy with Respect to Deferment The curtailment of the ASTP was soon followed by action of other governmental agencies still further restricting the production of specialists. No service units had been organized for the production of physicists, chemists, geologists and a number of other types of scientific experts. The defermentof students in these fields remained the official means of maintaining a steady flow of such specialists into the armed forces and the war industries. But not for long. On July Ist, 1943 the SelectiveService System issued a directive reducing the number of scientificoccupations for which defermentwould be granted and shortening the time that anystudent would be allowed to remain in training on a deferredstatus. In February 1944 the SelectiveServiceSystem established an overall quota for the nation of 10,000 students of engineering, physics, geology, geophysics and chemistry who would be allowed deferment. On April 7th, 1944 it rescinded the whole arrangement. All student deferments,except in professional schools devoted to the medical sciences and theology, were elimin- ated. Immediate Results of the New Policies Certain consequences of the combined action of the War Department and the Selective ServiceSystem are worth recording. The approximately 110,000 ASTP enrollees who were called to active duty had received an implicit promise from the government of the United Statesthat, if they pursued their respective courses successfully, they would either receive commissions or would be assigned as non-commissioned officersto technical services. AH had been selected after exhaustive tests of their mental and physical qualifications, and in most instances on the basis of excellent previous military records. The transfer order returned them in most cases to duty as privates in non-technical services and cancelled the military advancement they had already won, together with their future prospects. nearly all of them have taken Nevertheless, their grievous disappointment in their stride and have gone about the performance of their new and less responsible duties in the finestspirit. The Committee on Relationships of Higher Education to the Federal Government appointed by the American Council on Education urged upon the War Department the immediate inauguration of a collegiate training programfor qualified young men who have not yet reached the draft age. It pointed out that only in this way could the Army secure for its later requirements a pool of men who have had at least the rudiments of scientific and technical training. In response to these representations the War Department undertook a considerable expansion of the Army Specialized Training Reserve Program. The government paysthe cost of tuition, food, housing and medical care of the members of the ASTRP units. A unit of 300 ASTRP students has been assigned to the University of Buffalo. National Consequences of the Government'j Action The policies summarized above seem to have produced, or to be on the point of producing, the following results. The supply of pre-medical and pre-dental students will be reduced to a mere trickle. The supply of engineering students, and of physicists, chemists, geologists, biologists and many other scientificspecialists will be all but cut off. Only those students ineligible for military service or those enlisted in the Navy can continue to prepare for these specialties. Nothing that has been published convinces university officersof the wisdom,or even of the necessity, of these decisions. Sincethe educational agencies of the government, which may be presumed to be in possession of all the facts, are estopped from commenting upon the actions of other government departments, the only discussion of these actions must come from the independent universities. These institutions have the right and the duty to record their convictions. A social policy of far-reaching implications is involved; a social policy which, unless the enemyis at the gates, should lie outside of the sphere of the military departments of the government. The administration of the SelectiveServiceAct was located outside the military departments of the government in order that at all times the relative urgencyof military and civilian needs might be weighed by an im- — — partial authority. Through the actions outlined above the nation is committed to a desperate gamble. We have decided to throw awayour seed corn; and most of it has already been scattered abroad. We have made it absolutely certain that the United Stateswill experience a shortage of trained leadership for the period immediately following the war. If the war should continue for as long as two years more, we have made it absolutely certain that we shall experience a shortage of scientificand technical service in the military branches themselves. In the postwar period, this country will have to start again at the beginning to rear up a new �3 ALUMNI BULLETIN generation of scientists and technologists. apparent if remember that it takes four years at least beyond the age of eighteen to prepare men to begin the engineering profession; six to eight yearsto prepare dentists,physicists,chemists and geologists; eight to ten yearsto prepare physicians. Perhaps this particular policy may be altered beforethe disaster becomes irreparable. As long as there is the slightest prospect of such alteration,responsible university officersare under a solemn obligation to their country to advocate it. Just what this means will be we Experience of the University of Buffalo with Training Units Whatever objections to the latest developthe government's general training policy the University of Buffalo maywish to register, it can have nothing but praise for the operation of the training programs in which it has participated. The actual administration of the academic parts of the programshas been left to the initiative and good judgment of the educational officials who conduct them. The local commanding officersand their staffs, while maintaining effective control of the military phases of the training of the student soldiers,have scrupulously upheld the faculty's authority in the sphere assigned to it. Visiting inspectors from headquarters have likewise been sympathetic and helpful. Between both of these groups and the instructional officersof the university the most friendly and cooperative relations have prevailed. With the various contracting and auditing officialsof the military departments the university's relations have likewise been cordial and, we hope, mutually satisfactory. If my colleagues and I may judge the Army and Navy training programsas a whole by our own experience, we are ready to testify that in broad concept and execution they have surpassed anything which those who at the beginning of the war were the most ardent advocates of collegiateparticipation in the preparation of specialists for the armed forces dared to hope. To judge by the large volume of testimony that has come from the student soldiers themselves, the programs have proved their value in the subsequent military careers of these men. High officialsof both the Army and the Navy have also publicly commended the results. ments of NON-MILITARY TRAINING SUBSIDIZED BY THE GOVERNMENT The Engineering, Scienceand ManageWar Training programis subsidized by the Federal Governmentand administered by the U.

But it was evident that even this very gratifying surplus could be quickly extinguished if one or more of several possible occurrences came to pass. It is possible that at any time within the next year or two allowances made to the university under its militiry contracts may be sharply reduced,and that refunds may be called for. In the second place, the university has no way of knowing how many members of the faculty on leave for government service may return within the next academic year. Thirdly, for reasons already cited, the enrollment prospects for the next academic year are again uncertain. The budget adopted by the council at the end of June, 1944 was once more a balanced budget. The estimating officers have believed that their estimates are conthey must servative and safe. Nevertheless, admit the continued presence of a speculative element in their calculations. ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES Following the death of Dean Daniel H. Squire in 1937 the council authorized the creation of the post of Dean of the Schools of Medicine and Dentistry and appointed Dean Edward W. Koch to that position. At the same time it created the position of Associate Dean of the Schoolof Dentistry and designated Dr. Russell W. Groh The departure of ProfessorHelen I. Driver for service abroad with the American Red Cross deprived the Department of Hygiene and Physical Education for Women of its administrative head. Dean Lillias M. Macdonald,Assistant Professorof Hygiene, was designated as acting head of the department. The medical and dental schools have had difficulty for several yearsin providing adequate library facilities for their respective faculties and student bodies. The inconveniences proved to be so great that the director of libraries and the deans of the two schools became convinced of the necessity of a thorough-going reform. A solution was found which can at best be regarded as only a makeshift.A permanently satisfactory settlement must wait upon the erection of a new medical building. CONCLUSION The difficultiesof the third war yearhave revealed both the adaptability and the essential strength of the university. Its satisfactory financialcondition is in part attributable to the government payments for the extensive training operations I have described ; but only in part. The council will not overlook,I am sure, the faculty's great voluntary contribution. The largest item in the government contracts has been the item for instruction. As I noted a year ago, the faculty agreed by unanimous vote to assume the whole burden of teaching military personnel without cost to the university, except during the two summer months. Judged by normal academic standards almost every instructor has as the incumbent. This administrative arrangement was designed to promote more been seriously overloaded.

And the alumni have manifestedas never to the university and their belief in its present and its future. Appeals for contributions to the recently established Alumni Loyalty Fund have met with gratifying results. Although solicitation has been carried on almost entirely through the mails,both the number of subscribers and the total amount subscribed have increased substantially. Many of the subscriptions have been made by service men stationed in all parts of the world. Special unsolicited contributions have also continued to come in, generally accompanied by equally welcome expressions of interest and good will. The council is justified in feeling satisfied with its stewardship. The institution of which it is the custodian has thus far withstood the strains of war with the minimum of impairment. Every one of its twelve divisions is still in full operation. In two important fieldsof professional education it has even expanded its offerings. Its direct contribution to the war effort of the nation has been notable. The years immediately ahead will undoubtedly be trying ones for all universities. But the Council of the University of Buffalo has sound reasons for facing them with confidence. Respectfully submitted, before their attachment SAMUEL P. CAPEN. COUNCIL HOLDS MEETING At the December meeting of the council, Lewis G. Harriman,president of the Manufacturersand Traders Trust Company, was elected to succeed the late Dean R. Nott. The council adopted a resolution in eulogy of Mr. Nott and received the annual reports of the chancellor and the comptroller (abstracts of the reports appear in this Bulletin). The generosity of a member of the council made possible the publication of a limited number of copies of "GreatCitizensof Buffalo," a volume containing Chancellor SamuelP.

Gentlemen: The annual report of the comptroller for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1944 is presented herewith. The balance sheet,Exhibit "A," shows total assets of $14,405,495.43, distributed follows: endowment assets $6,763,-319-74;plant assets $7,105,123-37; and operating assets $537,052.32. The total value of land, buildings and equipment at the close of the fiscal year on June 30, 1944 was $7,104,575.50. The physical plant of the university is in good condition. The acceleration of the university's educational curricula,as well as its several war training programs,have resulted in intensive use of its buildings and equipment. The university has been able, nevertheless,to keep its buildings in good condition. Certainitems of upkeep cannot be cared for until after the war. They have been provided for in a DeferredMaintenance Account which has been set up for the purpose. The war has continued to affectadversely the normal operations of the university in several important ways. In the first place, because of the continued operation of the SelectiveService Act, the over-all civilian enrollment declined quite sharply during the year 1943-1944 with the result that fees received from students were $101,570.26 less than in the preceding year. The decreases occurred chiefly in the College of Arts and Sciencesand in the Schoolsof Business Administration,Law and Pharmacy. Even Millard Fillmore College suffereda decline in enrollment, although it closed the year with a substantial surplus. There was a slight decline in the income of the Summer Session. The Schoolof Medicine and the School of Dentistry were operating under Army and Navy Training contracts. Because of these contracts every available place in both schools was filled for the twelve months of the year covered by this report. These schools,therefore,enjoyed an increase in income over the income of the preceding year. Fees received from students in all divisions of the university during the year ended June 30, 1944 totalled $787,891.61, or 76.8% of the total income of the university, as against $889,461.87 or 80.9% in the preceding year. Income from endowment likewise suffered a slight decline. This was due primarily to the lower rate of return received on United StatesGovernmentBonds. Salariesof Instruction for the year ended June 30, 1944 showed a decrease of $86,-549-41 from the salaries of the preceding as Two factors contributed to this decrease. First, the Army Air Forces Program continued throughout the yearand to the extent that the members of the faculty were engaged in teaching in that program the university budget was, to that extent, relieved of this instructional cost. The second factor was the absence of additional members of the teaching staff who had joined the armed forcesor who had become engaged in other governmental services. The Army Air Forces contract not only relieved the university of a portion of its instructional cost, it also provided for the payment to the university of the Army's proportionate share of the cost of operating and maintaining the university buildings used in the Army Air Forces Program and further provided for payment to the university for the use of its buildings. The university also received an administrative allowance for the services of members of its personnel who were engaged in the administration of the program. United States,state and municipal government bonds,purchased by the university, yielded an averageincome of 2.06% on the actual investment; foreign government bonds,4.89%; railroad bonds, 4.93%; public utility bonds, 4.89%; industrial bonds, 3.23%; miscellaneous bonds, all year. gifts, 2.05%; stocks, 4.12%; mortgages and mortgage certificates,1.06%. The average yield on all stocks and bonds purchased and owned by the university, and excluding gifts, was 3-96% for the year. The lower rate of return on the invested funds of the university was due to the continued purchase of United StatesGovernment Bonds which yield a low rate of return. On June 30, 1944 the stocks and bonds in the university portfolio which had been purchased by the university, and excluding gifts, were classifiedas follows on the basis of market worth: United States,state, municipal and foreign government bonds, 26.08%; railroad bonds, 6.23%; public utility bonds, 4.31%; industrial bonds, 1.03%; public utility preferred stocks, 13.09%; industrial preferred stocks,5%; investment trust preferred stocks, 1.647c; bank preferred stocks,.83%; railroad common stocks, .81%; public utility common stocks,3.07%; industrial common stocks, 20.99%; bank capital stocks,5.54%; insurance common stocks,7.62%; investment trust common stocks,3.76%. The list continues to be of the highest quality and well diversified. It is gratifying to note that on of the June 30, 1944 the market valueowned by stocks and bonds purchased and the university continued to be in excess of their book value. For some time the administrative officers of the university have recognized the need of a four year engineering programin the Buffalo area. If the university were to undertake a four yearprogramin Mechanical Engineering, it would be necessary to build and equip an adequate engineering laboratory. It was estimated that this could be done for approximately $300,000 or 5350,000.Accordingly, in December 1943 the councils Committeeon University Development was authorized to raise funds for this purpose. That effort met with popular support and at the close of the fiscal year on June 30th a substantial part of the fund had been raised. Also during the year under review a group of Buffalo retail merchants placed at the disposal of the university a fund of 516,900for the development of a Department of Retailing in the School of Business Administration. This fund will make it possible for the university to add this new field of training to the services which it is already rendering to the community. One of the most gratifying sources of income continues to be the Alumni Loyalty Fund which at June 30, 1944 had contributed $9,644.45 to the general operating funds of the university. More than 800 alumni are now contributors to this fund. Other gifts and bequests received during the year covered by this report included: addition to the George P. and Sara N. McArthur Fund,$10,444.95; Estate of Edwin M. Husted, for the establishment of the Husted Scholarship Fund, $9,325-32; Estate of Alfred H. Schoellkopf, $5,000; Edward Michael, $2,000; Daniel W. Streeter,$2,000; Estate of Evelyn Rumsey Cary, addition to Dr. CharlesCary Memorial Fund, $1,841.42; and Estate of Elliott C. McDougal, $1,000. The various government-financed training programswhich have utilized the services and facilities of the university for the past year have been an important factor in the university's operations. It is more than likely that these programswill be curtailed. The Army Air Forces contract which provided for the training of 500 air forces trainees has already been terminated. Fortunately, however,the university has been selected to provide instruction, housing and messing for 300 seventeen year old Army Specialized Training Reservists. As of September 23, 1944 the Army discontinued its training unit in the School of Dentistry. The unit in the School of Medicine remains, although considerably curtailed in numbers. The Navy, however, continues to use the facilitiesof the School of Dentistry and the Schoolof Medicine although its program,likewise, has been curtailed. The government will continue to use the facilities of the university as a training {Continued on Page 7) �6 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO University of Buffalo Exhibit "A" ASSETS Endowment Fund Assets: Bonds— Public Utility Bonds Government Bonds Railroad Bonds Industrial Bonds Miscellaneous _ — 72,123-75 LIABILITIES AND FUNDS Endowment Funds: $1,952,862.94 General Purpose Funds 4,802,443.76 Special Purpose Funds (Schedule A-l) $6,755,306.70 8,013.04 $ 6,763,319-74 Plant Funds: Land, Buildings, and Equipment Fund Mortgage Payable $2,083,779-89 _ Cafeteria) from Operating _ Operating Fund Assets: Cash on Hand and in Banks Accounts Receivable Deferred Diploma Expense . __ $7,104,575.50 547.87 — 7,105,123-37 $ 513,476.81 20,968.73 2,606.78 University of Buffalo Schedule A-l _ JUNE 30, 1944 For College of Arts and Sciences: $410,000.00 Seymour H.

The Public Health Service will not only continue, but will enlarge this programduring the new academic year. Under the provisions of the Veterans' Bill, enacted in June 1944,many veterans returning from the theaters of war will be allowed to obtain college training at government expense. The university anticipates that its broad programof courses will prove attractive to many veterans. A considerable number of such veterans have already enrolled in the university. In addition the Veterans' Administration has already selected the university as a testing and guidance center for returning veterans to ascertain what courses of training may be necessaryto restore them to employability. This programis likely to be greatly expanded as the veterans return in larger numbers. It will be apparent to the council and friends of the university that the various government-financed training programs in which the university has been engaged have served greatly to steady the university through the past yearand a half. If these programsare continued the university will be able to make its way through the remaining years of the war without too great financialhazard. It is of the utmost importance to remember,however,that until the war has ended and colleges and universities mayonce again resume their normal operations, with normal conditions of enrollment, the discontinuance of these programsmay well upset the delicate balance between university income and university expenditure.

Chancellor SamuelP. Capen is verypleased with the results obtained through the cooperation of the various Fund Committeesand Class Agents. "The remarkable increase in the contributions to the Alumni Loyalty Fund during the past yearhas been very gratifying to all the officersof the university and to all its friends. "Alumni funds raised by annual contribution have come to play a prominent part in the development of a number of the stronger universities and colleges. The effort of the Alumni of the University of Buffalo to establish such a fund is of very recent date and in the beginning received rather small response. But during the last two years, despite the difficultiesof making an effectivecanvass in wartime, both the number of subscribers and the amount subscribed have increased rapidly. The contributions of the year just closed were 50 per cent higher than those of the preceding year. "The Alumni can be assured that any contributions made to the Alumni Loyalty Fund will be put to effectiveuse. The university looks forward to a number of major developments in the period immediately following the war. Many of these will require more money than can be derived from tuition feesand the income from existing endowments.

And while military contracts have enabled the university to come through the past two yearswith some surplus, the prospects of a year or two immediatelyahead are once more uncertain. The proceeds from the Alumni Loyalty Fund maybe required to offset a dangerous deficit in this critical time." The 1944 Alumni Loyalty Fund increased so rapidly during the last month of 1944 that there were too many names of contributors to list in this issue. However, all 1944 contributors will be named in the Honor Roll which will be mailed to all alumni in the spring. Also in the 1944 Honor Roll will appear the names of the various Fund Committeemembers and the class agents who have helped so much in developing the Fund. Please note: All checks dated January Ist or thereafter have been counted in the new 1945 Fund. The 1945 Fund has a very good start, and the Class Agents can be proud of the many gifts sent, in before the Spring appeal.

Chief among the new offerings is "Problems of a Lasting Peace," a course conducted by Dr. Frederick A. Hodge, WBEN news commentator. part with Dr. Designed to Various Hodge. experts will take aid students entering Millard Fillmore College in the second semester are: "Double-time Principles of Accounting," which permits a student to complete the basic first-year course in one semester; first-year English, beginning Psychology and EffectiveSpeaking. This year for the first time, the basic-chemistry course which is a requirement in all premedical and pre-dental programs as well as science programs in the College of Arts and Sciences,has a beginning section starting with the second semester. The second half of the course will be offered during the summer session,enabling those who wish to accelerate their training to complete the basic-chemistry course before next September. FACULTY NOTES Dr. Oscar A. Silverman,professor of English, is delivering a series of three lectures sponsored by the Mothers' Council of the Elmwood-Franklin School. The second,given on February 19th, was on the topic, "Thucydides and Tolstoy." The third lecture, on "Huxley, Hemingway and Others," will be given on April 16. An article by Dr. Arthur P. Wyss, associate professor of pharmacy, appears in the January issue of the Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association. VETERANS AS STUDENTS A survey of the 40 full-time and 35 part-time students at the university who are discharged veterans of this war disclosed that these students are very much interested in accelerated programs by which the ordinary four-year courses can be completed in less than three. One reason, of course, is that they are older than the regular students and usually want to get through as quickly as possible. In the university's group, the median age is 22, about 3 yearsbeyond the averageof what would be expected of entering students, a natural condition since they approximately half are enrolled in the School of Business Administration. The averageability level of the veterans is close to that of other entering students. Their memory of high school content is considerably weaker than that of other students,a natural condition since they have been out of school for some time. In other words, they have the ability to succeed in college, but need extra time to refreshtheir minds on basic material previously learned. Sixty percent of the veterans have had no previous college training except service training which mayor maynot yield them college credit. DENTAL FACULTY CHANGES ANNOUNCED Announcement was recently made of the retirement of Edson J. Farmer,DDS '12, as professor and head of the department of prosthetic dentistry. A member of the faculty since his graduation, Dr. Farmer has been appointed professor of prosthetic dentistry, emeritus. He will devote his attention to private practice. S.

Mr. Capen makes his. In consultation each listens, gravely, to the other. He is often right; she,oftener. And if the weather is" passable by their standards, not by yours or mine a figure in gray flannels,an old jacket, a white hat, crosses the lawn, drops down the path, and hoists —— He owned,for a time, a flat bottomed speed boat that planed the surfaceof Orcutt's Harbor, driven by a snarling motor. His friends in South Brooksville,Maine, watched the experiment with tolerant amusement: "A man has a right to notions now and then." The thing was officially christened "The Sin", but that implied apology was no protection; popularly it became "Capen's Folly". A dory powered by an out-board motor is another matter: it isn't properly a bo-at (spoken in two syllables). It's transportation. A bo-at has sails. The other natives knew that he wouldn't keep a "stink boat" for long. And even during this time of "Sin", a true boat rode through the summer months tugging at its mooring in the harbor below the house. In the water is a float connected with the rocky shore,and the path, by a chicken walk. The path climbs steeply up the hill to a flat expanse of lawn beside the brown-shingled house. On the lawn,or on the large porch which surrounds two sides of the house,Mrs. Capen reads Trollope, puts the finishing touches to the harder kind of double acrostic,or, with Mr. Capen, entertains an occasional guest perhaps their daughter or a college classmate. Or she consults Millie. Millie doesn't cook yearround for the Capens, to be sure. Sometimesshe takes care of others, nice people always, but not natives. — Millie knows weather as well as she knows appetites. Where there are saildriven keels, weather's important. Each morning Millie makes her diagnosis and sail. He fits the cockpit of a boat; the tiller seeks his under arm. In a stiff breeze matches burn for him and do their job on pipe or cigaret. Conversation holds steady, while, at the same time, ripples are speaking to him of the veering winds. He knows every rock, nearly all of them with an affection born more of familiarity than of respect. On other than racing days he sails down to the Reach and gets home in time for a short swim before lunch. In the afternoon there may be correspondence, or a report to write. Or work to be done to spruce up the place: grass cut. young evergreens which threaten the view pruned. Wood must be fetched,and lamps must be prepared against the cool evenings when there will be talk or reading of John Buchan or Dumas. And once or twice a summer there is a spell of the French Classical drama. Trimming a lamp-wick, or a these tree, or speakingrolling Alexandrines, are arts to be practiced with considerable care. Day by day the growth of the sun-flowers at the right of the porch is watched,or the coming of color to the sumach as fall approaches. Always there is a new light or a different shadow playing across cliffs or the greenhills, and over the water of the Harbor. All of these things were to be savored in the short summers before soldiers marched the Campus of the University of Buffalo, before AAFandASTRP, before "acceleration". Now Mr. Capen remains beyond hail of boats,within hail of the campus. But, formerly, in peace time days there could have been,perhaps, another sail in the late afternoon. And as he tied the painter at the village dock, the garage man, or the store-keeper, might be saying to a tourist customer, "Him? Been 'round here since he was fifteen. Got a school West someplace, winters. Good man in a boat. Name's SamCapen." _ The above is the first in a series of articles to be written by guest editors about the administraand adminisirative offices of the university. The alumni office staff wishes to acknowledge gratefully the fine spirit of cooperation demonstrated by the guest editors. We hope you will enjoy these "behind-the-scenes" views. tors �UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 2 ALUMNI DEEDS OF COURAGE RECEIVE RECOGNITION ...

Honorary Degrees Won Honorary degrees were conferred upon three University of Buffalo graduates last month, each receiving the award from a different institution. The alumni thus honored are Joseph M. Hill, MD '28, BS (Med) '28, James McCormick Mitchell, LLB '97, and John Lord O'Brian, LLB "98. In recognition of important contributions to science and humanity, the University of Guadalajara, Mexico,conferredon Dr. Hill the honorary degree of "Doctor Honoris Causa."It is believed that this is-the second time the university has conferredthis degree in the modern era. The development of the adtevac (vacuum drying) process of large-scale drying of blood plasma is one of Dr. Hill's most notable achievements. Under his new process, liquid plasma is frozen and crystallized, the crystals then being ground to powder and packed in small airtight containers ready for instant use. They can be dissolved in a quantity of distilled water amounting to one-fourthof the original volume of blood and can be administered by a hypo-syringe without the usual complicated transfusionapparatus. The crystals and sufficientdistilled water can be packed in containers compact enough to be carried in a physician's coat pocket and can be transported long distances at any temperatures without refrigeration and without deterioration of the plasma.

B. ROUNDTABLES RESUMED The University of Buffalo has opened a new series of radio roundtable discussions on Station WBEN Sunday afternoons at 1:30 o'clock. Based on the general theme of wartime and post-war issues,the series replaces the University of Chicago Roundtable broadcasts over this station. As in the previous three series,the Roundtables are unrehearsed and unmanuscripted. Each programhas a moderator and three participants. While the discussants are different each week,including various experts from the university faculty and well-known guests, the moderator will provide a continuous thread throughout the series. Serving in this capacity is Earl J. McGrath,BA "28, MA '30, Dean of Administration recently returned to the university after two yearsin the Navy. SamuelS. Mitchell of the Princeton Class of 1861,.was awarded an honorary degree 70 yearsago. * * * At its third winter commencement, Brown University awarded an honorary degree of doctor of laws to John Lord O'Brian who was, until his recent resignation, general counsel of the War Production Board.

GEORGED. CROFTS, COMPTROLLER AND TREASURER On Niagara Square, in the heart of busy, downtown Buffalo, stands a sturdy, weathered,red brick building,long known as Townsend Hall, one of the oldest of the fifteen buildings which go to make up the physical plant of the University. On the ground floor of that building is to be found the hub of the University's business life, the Treasurer's Office. There the Treasurer of the University, George D. Crofts, and his staff conduct the business enterprise of the University. Not many alumni and few students,indeed,realize that the University of Buffalo, which next year will celebrate its 100th Anniversary, is a corporation of considerable size. It has total assets of about $14,400,000 and currently operates on an annual budget of over $1,000,000. Evolution of the Treasurer's Office Down to November 1920 the University had no central business office. It consisted then only of the Schoolsof Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, and Law and which had the College of Arts and Sciences granted its first three degrees in June administration of 1920. The business these separate schools,as well as their educational programs, was left by the Council of the University largely to the schools themselves and in those matters the schools were almost wholly independ- one another. One of the two conditions on which Mr. Walter P. Cookeand his associates undertook to launch the first $5,000,000 campaign for the University in October 1920 was that the business administration of the separate schools should be centralized in a single office into which all receipts should come and from which all disbursements should be made. Following the close of that first $5,000,-000 campaign, Mr. Crofts, as Vice-Chairman of the Committeeon GeneralAdministration, was assigned the task of organizing and centralizing the business structure of the University. In November 1920 the central officewas opened and in the following months he prepared the University's first GeneralBudget to cover its operations for the academic year beginning July 1, 1921 and ending June 30, 1922. On July 11, 1921 Mr. Crofts was elected Treasurer of the University. The ordinances of the University provide that the Treasurer, subject to the ent of The above is the second in a series of articles written by guest authors about the University's officersand offices. The alumni office staff is grateful to these guest editors for their well-informed articles. Responsibilities Are Many and Varied The Treasurer and his staff are responsible for the collection of income, the investment of permanent funds, the purchase of supplies, and the operation and maintenance of the physical plant of the University. Normally about 76.8% of the total income of the University is derived from tuition and other fees collected from 5,285 students normally registered in all the divisions of the University. The collection of these fees is a chief function of the Bursars in the schools to which they are assigned. These Bursars are the Treasurer's deputies in their respective schools. The physical plant of the University, its lands, buildings and equipment, are valued at $7,104,575.50. The Treasurer's Office operates this plant. It has charge of the day to day maintenance of all the buildings and grounds owned by the University and, in addition, makes all alterations and repairs to the properties. Conrad J. Leupold, a deputy of the .Treasurer, is the competent superintendent of the campus buildings and grounds and, as such, is in immediate charge of the upkeep and maintenance of those properties. Insurance for the physical plant, alone, is an important item in the protection of the University's properties. The buildings and their contents are protected by $4,983,600.00 of fire insurance. The University also carries public liability insurance, boiler insurance and Workmen's Compensation. The University's other source of income is from its permanent endowment funds. Research for the investment of these permanent funds is an unending task, especially in normal times when opportunities for the investment of funds are more favorable than in the present markets. Ultimate authority for the investment of permanent funds is vested in the Committee on Finance of which the Treasurer is a member. AH purchases and sales of securities are executed by the Treasurer's Office. It follows the markets from day to day and furnishesto the Finance Committee detailed Quarterly Reports on all the (Continued on Page 2) �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO The Treasurer's Office (Continued from Page 1) by owned securities the University. The University's permanent funds, which yield income for the operation of the University, date back only to the first $5,000,000 campaign of 1920. In the past 25 years this permanent account has passed through the market collapse of 1929 and the dreary depression years of the early 30's. However,the market value of these funds, accumulated over the 25 year period, in yearsof prosperity and in yearsof depression, is today 104.7%of their book value. The purchase of equipmentand supplies for every division of the University is a never-ending activity of the Treasurer's Office. Supplies used for instruction are requisitioned by department heads on the Bursars of their respective divisions. All orders are placed by the Treasurer's Office. These orders range in variety from 4400 tons of coal for the Heating Plant on the campus to grams of drugs and vials of vaccines for the School of Pharmacy. An order for the Department of Biology, for instance, in the College of Arts and Sciencesmight contain such items as black widow spiders, live turtles and leeches. An order for the School of Medicine, on the other hand, would contain such items as oxalated beef blood, fresh hogs' stomachs,beef preeyes,and dynamite glycerine for the servation of cadavers. For the Dental School Infirmary, in which all Dental students receive their practical training, a supply order would include such items as quantities of artificial teeth, gold, and platinum for the building of partial dentures, crowns, bridges and inlays. Perhaps no school of the University requires a greater variety of supplies than does the Schoolof Pharmacy. In number they run into the hundreds and include every known pharmaceutical and medicinal drug used in the treatment of the ills of mankind, from the oldest aloes to the newest sulpha drugs and penicillin. These products are gathered from the four corners of the earth. They include narcotics or pain killers such as codeine,morphine and cannabis; explosives, such as nitroglycerine; stimulants, such as digitalis and strophanthus; serums for measles and meningitis; vaccines for rabies,smallpox and typhoid; sulpha drugs; vitamins; perfume oils from China, India, Australia. France and Holland for the manufacture of cosmetics,and the most dangerous living bacteriological microscopic cultures known to man. The war created additional duties for the Treasurer's Office, for it brought to the University government contracts covering the various Army and Navy training programs. The largest of these programs was the Army Air Forces Program which continued over a period of about 15 months and involved the expenditure of $634,851."7fi, covering instruction, housing. and messing for 500 Air Corps trainees. Subsistence alone involved the expenditure Raw foods purchased by the Treasurer's Office cost $133,576.00 and the labor item for messing ran to $51,--735.00. The records of the Treasurer's Office disclose many interesting items of the messing operation—fresh meats, $50,milk and cream, $19,926.00; fresh --040.00; fruit, 515,544.00;butter and eggs, $11,--623.00; staples, $19,848.00; and ice cream, $2,732.00. All of these items were contracted for by the Treasurer's Office on the requisition of Mrs. Louise Kener, a member of the Treasurer's staff, who was Director of the Army Air Forces Mess Hall. All of the University disbursements are made by check. In a single year the number of checks drawn by the Treasurer's Office for salaries and merchandise bills of every character runs to about 17,000. About one-half of all of the checks are for salaries and from each of these the Federal Withholding Tax has to be deducted. Among the endowment assets of the University there have been set up approximately 125 funds for the creation of professorships and scholarships, which the Treasurer's Office administers in accordance with the terms of specific deeds of gift or trust agreements. In this connection the Treasurer is often called upon, by members of the bar, frequently his former pupils in the Law school, for advice in the preparation of wills in which a prospective benefactor desires to include a bequest to the University. of $201,729.45. Those Who Serve The Assistant Treasurer of the University is Emily H. Webster who graduated from the College of Arts and Sciencesin 1923 and who entered the business administration of the University in September of that year. In 1927 she became Assistant to the Treasurer and in 1930 was elected Assistant Treasurer. There is no phase of the University's business administration in which she is not engaged or no part of the Treasurer's manifold duties which she does not share. The man who is responsible for the operation of this business enterprise is George D. Crofts, Comptrollerand Treasurer of the University. He is a man of quiet demeanor,of keen perception and deliberate action. As busy as his days are, he is never too busy to confront each new problem brought to his desk and to bring his practical judgment to bear on each decision. One might suppose that the Treasurer would have little time to indulge a hobby. On the contrary, he has one all-absorbing hobby to which he has devoted himself with singleness of purpose for the past twenty years. It is the beautification of the University campus. With limited University funds at his disposal he created, with the help of a supervisor and ordinary day labor, 100 acres of lawn, thus transforming the campus from rough country farm land to a place of great beautv in the city. Most of the ornamental trees which have been placed on the campus in the last 20 years are his DIVISIONAL NEWS ARTS On April 11th, the officersof the Arts Alumni Association met and decided to hold an annual meeting this year in the form of a picnic on Saturday, June 16, at the La Salle Yacht Club. It will be a basket lunch affair and open to all Arts alumni and their families. More complete details and directions for reaching the grounds will be given in the May Bulletin. BUSINESSADMINISTRATION The Business Administration Alumni Association will again have an annual banquet meeting to be held Monday, June 4. The 1943 and 1944 annual meetings of this group together with its interim activities were suspended largely because of war conditions. Although these conditions still prevail, it is felt that every effort should be made to resume activities because of the imminent return of many of the members from the armed forces. Since such activities provide excellent opportunities for re-establishing or making new acquaintances and for exchanging information, they should prove valuable in assisting our returning alumni to take up their places in civilian life. Because the Business Ad Alumni group has a relatively large number of young members and because the great preponderance are males, it has a very high percentage of its total membership in the armed services. Therefore,activities designed to assist our discharged servicemen assume unusual importance not only to those returning to civilian life but also to the eventual success of the association. The place and further details of the meeting will be announced later by mail. PHARMACISTSHOLD MEETINGS The following officerswere installed at .i meeting of the Western New York Branch of the American Pharmaceutical Association: Dr. Arthur P. Wyss, professorof pharmacy at the University, president; James S. Hill '26, first vice- president; Mearl S. Pritchard, '21, second vice-president; and Francis P. Taylor, '34, treasurer. When the Buffalo Veterans' Druggists' Association held its 20th annual banquet last month, one of the guest speakers was Dr. A. B. Lemon,'13, Dean of the School of Pharmacy. His topic was "Present Conditions and Problems of Pharmacy." personal gift. The eight beautiful elm trees which adorn the front of Norton Hall were the gift to the University of his son, Lt. George D. Crofts, Jr., on the occasion of one of his father's recent birthdays. The University is the Treasurer's constant care. Six days a week his door is always open to students,teachers, salesmen and workmen. The telephone leading to his desk is never still and through the night the watchmen and janitors in the University buildings know that the telephone number to call in case of emergency is GR. 2739. �3 ALUMNI BULLETIN SERVICE NEWS CASUALTIES After 28 months in Africa, Master Sgt.

Do you know exactly what the Loyalty Fund is? It was .conceived and created by the alumni themselves and is a vehicle by which alumni may make a contribution to the current operating expenses of the University. About 77 per cent of the cost of sending a student through the University is paid for by his tuition. The balance is derived from other income, including gifts from alumni. In addition to this, the University has high hopes of extending its prestige through the further development of its educational resources.

No. 4 L^oniutt ~Jhe lAniversitu r^eaiitrarl To answer all these and hundreds of questions like them the University Registrar's Office was established by Dr. Capen in 1928 as a central repository for student records, under the direction of Miss Emma E. Deters. Before that year each school or college office of the University had its own Registrar and Miss Deters served as Registrar of the College of Arts and Sciences. The central office now serves many purposes of which a few follow. It is an office of general information. It maintains an index of every student who ever attended the University since 1846, including the school or division wherein he was registered. Detailed records of every student have been kept since the establishment of the central office. This office serves as the administrative office for all seeking degrees with the exception of those in a few of the professional schools. Room assignments and reservations for all campus buildings are made through this office. A University faculty file is maintained. Campus class sched- EMMA E. DETERS, REGISTRAR Have you ever wondered just what the University Registrar and her office force of very attractive young women keep so busy doing behind the scenes? If you have ever waited with a question and then almost miraculously received the answer, some of this may be "old stuff" to you. But you may be one of the people who didn't know all the questions that can be answered by a most courteous staff. No one who comes on business is ever turned away curtly; no one leaves the office feeling his problem is anything but the most important problem the staff has to face at that moment. It's a gift to be able to make each inquirer feel necessary and not intruding; and it's one Miss Emma E. Deters, the University Registrar, herself exemplifies in all her contacts with people. If you could spend a day in the office you'd understand why this is so unusual, considering the kinds of requests made. Here are a few: "I am a veteran and want to start University study; what do I do?" "I am having trouble with one course. May I drop it now without getting a failing grade?" "I have just learned that I shall have enough credits to graduate next month; what do I do now?" "There was a student named Brown at the University with me in 1918. Can you help me locate him?" "I took a course in 1919 from a man who went to the Middle East. Could you give me his present address?" "My daughter is in a class and I must get hold of her right away. Can you get a message to her immediately?" "I have a conflict in examinations. What shall I do?" "I graduated from the University in 1935 and still now have a chance to teach. ules and examination schedules are made up here. The office collects an immense amount of statistical data including such information as student averages, rank in class, sororities and fraternities, etc. Approximately 2000 transcripts are issued annually from this office. A separate file for veterans is maintained. The mail, the telephone, the window at the counter all bring in requests to be answered, responsibilities to be carried out, and problems to be solved. When one looks at registration figures and realizes that the pre-war registration of the University was over 5000, although it started almost 100 years ago with a much more modest figure, need the question be asked: "What happens in the Registrar's Office?" Do I meet the State requirements?" "I am applying for a graduate fellowship at three Universities. Will you send out transcripts for me?" "Has the student enrollment increased much in the last ten years?" "What division of the University has the heaviest enrollment?" "We should like to hold a meeting on the Campus next Tuesday night. May we use the Hayes Auditorium?" "I gave an examination to a class five years ago. Do you have a copy of that examination?" The above article was written by a member of the University faculty. The alumni staff is deeply im'-ebted to the quest editors who have contributed so substantially to an understanding of administrative functions, as well as to the quality Ofthe B'-LLETIN. GENERAL ALUMNI BOARD TO MEET Notices have been sent to members of the General Alumni Board informing them of the annual dinner meeting to be held at the Hotel Lenox on Tuesday, June 5. All members are especially urged to attend this meeting at which will be discussed plans for alumni participation in the celebration of the University's One Hundredth Anniversary next year. The excellent progress of the Alumni Loyalty Fund during the past year and plans for its future development will also be subjects for discussion. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO SURGEON SPENT 3 YEARS IN JAP PRISON CAMP ALUMNI DISPLAY FORTITUDE, GALLANTRY IN BATTLE VANDERBOGET LIBERATED FROM JAP PRISON Nothing daunted by his three-year incarceration in Bilibid Prison, Col. Carlton L. Vanderboget, MD '10, shows few ill effects of his injuries and prison experiences. On March 26, 1942, his skull was fractured, both ear drums ruptured and his back and arms lacerated by a Japanese aerial bomb. During his imprisonment he contracted malaria, dysentery and beri beri, from all of which he recovered "promptly." Certainly his happy smile gives support to the statement that he's "as good as ever" except for loss of hearing in his right ear and the fact that his weight dropped from 240 pounds to a low of 151. Since "there were practically no drugs at all I owe my recovery entirely to the excellent surgical treatment I received from the American medical officer who looked after me." Having arrived in the Philippines on November 20, 1941, he was the surgeon at Stotsenberg, adjoining Clark Field, when the Japs attacked. After Stotsenberg was abandoned on December 24, he went to Bataan and assumed command of a jungle hospital. He was acting as service of supply surgeon when wounded. Sixty-one years old, he has been in the Army for 28^ years, serving in Mexico with General Pershing and in France during World War I. ....

Ireland. Capt., M.C., on it. This turned out to be Boyd Ireland, MD '40. I went over to see him and in his same organization was Maj. Milford Childs, MD '40, Flight Surgeon, so I brought both of them to the hospital for dinner and there we found Capt. Daniel Botsford, MD '41. One of these days we will have a real reunion." In January, Pfc. Harold H. Johnson, BS (Bus) '43, wrote from France, where he was with the Supreme Hqs., AEF: "I ran into 3 U. of B. students. They were stationed at the same town I was, oddly enough. I met Alan Boyce, BS (Bus) '43, at a unit dance, Dick Gedney standing beside me in a G. I. truck and Dave Zimmerman (Arts '45) in my barracks. Meeting people I know over here is getting to be such a common occurrence that I've ceased to be surprised any more. The other day I would have sworn I saw Dean Park and Chancellor Capen. But both of these men were wearing those silly looking tarns, so I was sure it wasn't they, because only a Frenchman would wear one. They are both still on campus, aren't they?" From Luxembourg, Sgt. Carlton L. Krathwohl, BA '38, EdM '42, sent his contribution to the Alumni Loyalty Fund with a note saying: "Can you imagine being pleased to have a note requesting a donation?

We came in on the initial landing in the Philippines and have moved 3 times since. One unforgettable memory is that of being attacked by Japanese Paratroopers and Infantry, partially surrounded and cut off for 3 days before the Infantry finally arrived and relieved us. We did all right for Air Corps 'Prima Donnas.' Our present Headquarters must have been a 'Country Club' before the war with tennis courts and swimming pools. It is still lovely despite the damage and you have no idea how wonderful paved streets, curbs and sidewalks seem after 18 months of New Guinea Jungle." set . Goldman, '32 Metzger, '30 Capt. Harold L.

WE BEG TO RETRACT It isn't often that the Bulletin staff is pleased to learn that a mistake was printed but last month brought one such occasion when we learned that the report of the death of Mrs. Bernadetta D'Arcangelo Gorski, Edß '40, like that of Mark Twain's many years before he died, was grossly "exaggerated." We are extremely sorry that the error occurred and are very happy to state that Mrs. Gorski is living in New York City and working as a textile designer for a studio. The error developed when another soldier named Gorski was confused with her husband, Staff Sgt. Henry P. Gorski, BFA "41, who is serving in the Philippines with an Engineers group, working on camouart work, and not Switzerland as we reported flage, maps and other interned in previously.

Dr. Samuel P. Capen, Chancellor, James McC. Mitchell, LLB 97, Chairman of the Council, and George D. Crofts, Comptroller, were unanimously enthusiastic about the fine record made by the fund, even at this early stage in its growth. It represents a very important source of support for the University, especially when it is remembered that its annual quality makes it the equivalent of income from a very large amount of invested endowment. Fund Totals Reported LaVerne H. Brucker, DDS '21, Chairman of the Committee on Funds, reported that the 1945 loyalty fund as of June 5, the date of the meeting, totalled $5,557.30 contributed by 499 donors and that an additional $829-50 had been sent in by 259 Senior Memorial pledgors. He also announced that the fund committee had voted to discontinue the Senior Memorial Pledge system as such and to incorporate it into the Alumni Loyalty Fund henceforth. Among gifts received for the funds were many from servicemen overseas. Perhaps the most touching of all the contributions was the $100.00 sent in by one of our graduates who only recently was liberated from a Japanese prison after three years' imprisonment. His note accompanying the gift said: "... Can't begin to realize what it means its too wonto be a free American derful." — Other CommitteeReports Adele Boehmke Morris, BA '36, Soc '40, Chairman of the Committee on Associations and Clubs, reported that branch club activity was at a standstill. Of the divisional associations, many were active this year, especially the Alumnae with a program of several meetings. The Arts, Business Administration, Dentistry and Social Work associations also have shown renewed or continued vitality this year. The work of the Committee on Bequests has been continuing in ways difficult to evaluate, reported Chairman George G. Davidson, Jr., LLB '97. G. Thomas Ganim, BS '24, LLB '27, reporting for the Committee on Public Relations, explained that its work consisted mainly of assisting the other committees. 1945 FUND FIGURES iuinL3 A3 ur j*ji>e j, iwj Alumni Loyalty Fund: 499 $5557.30 Senior Memorial Pledges: 259 829.50 BY SCHOOLS 110 622.25 Arts Ad. 190.00 Business 37 Dental 94 1337.50 Education* 15 67.00 Law 78 814.05 17.00 Library Science* 3 Medical 113 2126.00 44.50 Nursing 12 26 277.00 Pharmacy 8 Social Work 32.00 20.00 Anal.

The speaker asserted that the serious professional situation for the next generation imposes a grave responsibility upon women, who constitute a majority of college graduating classes. Chancellor Warns Against Totalitarianism Although we have defeated Italy and Germany and are about to subdue Japan. Chancellor Capen pointed out in his Baccalaureate address that, with these states trampled and even with a successful organization of United Nations to abolish war, we will not be free of the threat of totalitarianism. On the contrary, he said, "the threat will be all the more menacing because it will henceforth be subtle and concealed." 133 Are Graduated Degrees, certificates and diplomas were awarded 133 graduates; and, in addition, seven of the dental graduates were commissioned into the U. S. Naval Reserve. 100th MEDICAL CLASS GRADUATED The Medical school held its commencement exercises this year on June 23rd, the speaker being W. Ward Plummer, MD '02.

The structure of each of its twelve divisions is still intact. Like every other institution of higher education, the University experienced heavy losses in enrollment during the war years. The total civilian enrollment in the full time day divisions declined more than 50%. The professional schools which were not called upon to train military personnel were the hardest hit. The student bodies of the Schools of Law, Pharmacy. Business Administration and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences were reduced to a mere handful. These losses, however, were in a large measure offset by the soldiers, sailors and civilians to whom the University furn'shed special training for war purposes. Between the beginning of 1943 and the summer of 1944 some 2500 student soldiers and sailors received instruction through the College of Arts and Sciences and the Schools of Medicine and Dentistry. Courses offered to war workers under government subsidies enrolled between eight and nine thousand individuals. Throughout the war period the financial stability of the University has been preserved. This fortunate result has been made possible by the University's extensive contracts with the government for the instruction justreferred to, and by the generous action of the faculty in assuming the burden of this instruction without additional cost to the University. All members of the institution, alumni, Council and students are under a deep debt of gratitude to the faculty for its cheerful assumption of this heavy burden. No operating deficits were incurred during the war years. For the fiscal year which began July 1, 1945, the Council was forced to budget a deficit; the first in 13 years. Although the war with Japan had not yet ended, it was cl^ar that government contracts for training would be much reduced, and the prospects of increased civilian enrollment were very uncertain. These prospects brightened during the summer. A substantial increase in the enrollment of nearly every division is now a certainty. The University lost not only students during the war years but also many members of the faculty. Approximately 150 members of the teaching staff have been granted leaves of absence for war service. Although some of these men and have already returned, it will apparently be many months before all are released. women The immediate problem in all divisions is the reparation of the losses unavoidably incurred during the war and the resumption of educational progress. The staff of nearly every division has been busy for many months elaborating plans for changes and improvements. Space does not permit the listing of all these plans. Two projects may, however, be cited as a sample. Since the early part of this year a Lon^ Range Planning Committee with numerous sub-committees has been actively at work in the Medical School examining all phases of the School's educational operations and its relations with cooperating hospitals, and preparing a comprehensive plan for the next decade of its development. In the College of Arts and Sciences, a Committee on the Curriculum has been working for a full year analyzing the educational program of the College and preparing recommendations for its improvement. All officers of the University recognize that our foremost obligation is to returning veterans. Under a general Veteran's Committee on Educational Services representing the whole University, each division has been organizing its facilities in order to render to the veterans the most efficient and appropriate service. The faculty of each division is alert to the necessity of adapting the work of the University to the new conditions which it, together with all other institutions, faces in the post-war period. We are all proud of and grateful for the war service of the alumni and former students. It is clear that in the period just ahead, more than at any time in the past, the University will need the help and the sympathetic understanding of its alumni. Every officer of the institution is deeply impressed by the splendid record of the Alumni Loyalty Fund during these last two difficult years. Fortified by this tangible evidence of the support of its alumni, the University enters its centennial year with confidence and hope. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO YOUR PERSONAL PERSONNEL OFFICE Mr. Roger W. Gratwick, Lt. Rolfe W. DinwooaSe. Dr. Mazie E. Wagner The support and assistance given by the busy Personnel Office is wellknown to U. B. alumni. In addition to their huge job of helping to orient entering students and advising them in choice of study and majors, they also place many graduates in new jobs. During the absence of Dean Edward A. Jones, Director of the Office, who is on leave of absence while teaching in Europe, Dr. Mazie E. Wagner, BA '25, MA '27, and Mr. Roger W. Gratwick carry on the activities. The Personnel Office coordinates its work with the Veterans' Service Office which is under Dr. Lewis A. Froman. A great deal has been written about education of veterans under the G. I. Bill and Public Law 16 which has to do with veterans who have more than ten per cent disability. One of the most careful studies was made by Dr. Earl J. McGrath. BA '28, MA '30, when he was in the service. Dr. McGrath concludes among other things that after the war, colleges and universities located in large cities and those with high reputations will get by far the larger majority of the returning service men and women. In addition to being located in a city, the University can also be included in the second of these categories. Certainly it is a fact that a large number of veterans enroll in the University of Buffalo. It seems likely that at the opening of college this year between 225 and 250 veterans will be attending the University, almost all of these on a full time basis. Indications are that the academic ability of these students is even better than it was a year ago, and their motivation still continues very high. There have been several interesting individuals who have applied this fall. One older veteran, the father of several children, was ineligible for college work a year ago because he had not completed high school. This man went to high school at night and made an excellent record. He is now attending the University. Another much younger veteran . had an extremely poor report in high school. While in the service he had an excellent military record eventually winning a commission. His attitude on academic work changed materially. He put in considerable time in the service reading and studying On application for entrance to the University he was given a number of aptitude and content tests, and the results showed that he had raised his standing from the 4th or sth fifth of average high school students to the top 10 or 15 per cent of our entering freshmen. A few women veterans are starting at U. B. also. One came in the office the other day who had had some work here in the University prior to her service. She is now married and has a child. However, she wishes to continue her education along with her husband who is still in the Armed Forces Institute. She feels that after his discharge they will be able to continue their work together. Mr. Roger W. Gratwick, Assistant Dean of Students and Placement Director for Men, will be glad to advise any of our alumni on taking new or brush-up courses at the University, or in job placement. Call for Teachers Assistant Dean of Women Students, Dr. Mazie Earle Wagner of the Personnel Office, reports that during the past school year there has been a further increase over the previous year in the number of vacancies reported to the University's Teachers Placement Bureau. Since October 1, 1944, 394 vacancies have been reported, and they're still coming in daily. Many of these require experience and pay accordingly. The largest number of vacancies (69) was requested in science. About half of these required some mathematics teaching as well. The above article is the fourth in the series written by guest authors about the University's officers and offices. The alumni staff is indebted to those who haze contributed so materially to the Bulletin. * The second largest number was social studies with 57; English with 44; commercial with 38; language with 37; mathematics with 33; physical education with 29 (this might easily have been increased to twice the number if we had advertised that we train in this field); librarian, 24; art, 16 and counselors, 11. There was also a miscellaneous grouping of psychology, philosophy, nursery school, economics, junior high school, engineering, geography, etc. The language teachers were required perhaps more than any other group to teach outside of their fields. Many of the social studies teachers were also required to teach additional subjects. Of the 394, 23 were requests for colored teachers. It was not possible to fill any of these because of lack of candidates. There was also a trickle of requests for college teachers. All told, 24 of these came in. To offset the 394 vacancies, there were 38 placements made, 17 of whom took their first teaching positions. With more candidates, many more placements might easily have been made. The case of a young lady who took a commercial teaching vacancy without any educational requirements illustrates the shortage of teachers. Two of our May graduates acted as substitutes in the Buffalo schools and one in Lackawanna for the balance of the school year. More surprising than this, however, was the fact that a junior in physical education taught during May and June. If you wish a position teaching school, Dr. Wagner invites you to register. She further urges you to register early next spring for new jobs for 1946-47 since principals are getting their contracts out earlier and earlier. In case you would like to teach this fall or beginning next January, you can probably be readily placed. Twenty vacancies came in during the fall term last year, and there will probably be more during the current term. �3 ALUMNI BULLETIN ALUMNI IN BOMB RESEARCH! 6000 civilians and military personnel on the Pajarito Plateau, about one hour's drive from Santa Fe, New Mexico, four U. B. graduates were among the 1000 scientists working on the atomic bomb. At this town of Los Alamos, Sigmund P. Harris, BA '41, MA '43, Leonard Bogdan, BA '44, Fred H. Schmidt, MA '40, and Donald L. Woernley, BA '34, MA '40, all knew, along with the others, exactly what they were working on; 1000 scientists kept the secret for over two years from family, newsmen, and the worJd. A whole social world existed in nowhere in which people were married and babies were born nowhere. People died in a vacuum, autos and trucks crashed in a vacuum. Even the graduates of Los Alamos Ranch School, the institution which preceded Uncle Sam's Atomic Bomb Project Laboratory, ceased to be graduates of Los Alamos; they bounded direct from Public School No. 7 clear into the class-rooms of Harvard, Yale and other universities. And on days when the Alamos experimenters threw their atomic bombs about a little too vigorously and the windows of Santa Fe rattled onimously, calls at the news office or police station brought only "no speak English". The chain of secrecy was maintained from the big Eastern cities where workers were recruited clear through to the delivery of these workers at Los Alamos. The laboratory was in New Mexico; other units of work throughout the country are referred to as factories. In one of these were two other U. B. graduates-—Robert M. Coleman, BA '33, and John A. Swartout, BA '37, who worked at bomb research in Richland, Washington. The latter first worked on the project as Assistant Section Chief in the Metallurgical Laboratory of Chemistry, Chicago, to assist in the development of the adsorption process for the separation of plutonium from uranium and its fission products. Dr. Swartout then progressed to the Clinton Laboratories in Tennessee where he met two other U. B. men, Dr. Russell R. Williams, Jr., BA 41, and T/Sgt. Jack A. Marinsky, BA "39. In October, '44, Dr. Swartout was included in a group of 30 chemists serving as consultants in special phases of the process at Richland. He is now enthused over the impending rapid expansion of radiochemU. B. In a secret town of istry. Many other U. B. alumni helped directly with the project all over the country, and Alma Mater is proud of our contribution in bringing the war to a sudden or indirectly close. ALUMNI OFFICE CHANGES After doing a fine job as Editor of the Alumni Bulletin through last June, Evelyn "Jaeckle Noshay, BA '38, has been appointed assistant in mathematics at the University this fall. The Bulletin is being edited by Pauline I. Miller, BS(Bus) '35, Acting Alumni Secretary, assisted by Mrs. Jeanne W. Warner, Alumni Office Assistant. Added to the office staff is Bette I. Schill. A LETTER FROM BILL COOK war, poor Alumni Secretary on leave of absence since 1940, Major William G. Cook, BS '27, is at present executive officer in charge of the Heavy Mortar Training Center in China. He writes: "V-J Day, 1945 A war ended today, and like millions of others, I am quite happy at the prospect of going home in the reasonably near future. A prediction I ventured to make nearly five years ago seems about to be justified. When in September, 1940, I turned in my key to the alumni office and put on an Army uniform, I hazarded a guess that 1 would take it off some time in 1946, and probably not before. There seems to be no doubt now that I shall be back in time for the University's 100th anniversary. My brief overseas experiences look pale by comparison with those of so many alumni who have served under the guns of war. Mine are like those of a tourist who stays in one country a little longer than the standard tour provides for. I have seen the Pacific from a transport. I have felt the impact of the Mysterious East, though its sights, sounds and smells are not exactly mysterious. I have traveled a bit in India by airplane, troop train, river boat, rickshaw and jeep. I have flown across the Himalayas. And I have seen a part, at least, of backwoods China. Nowhere have I felt more at home, away from home, than among the Chinese. Their psychology is not unlike ours. They understand our type of humor, as the audience reaction at any American movie will attest. They are friendly, co-operative, even embarrassingly neighborly. They are ingenious and industrious, and are beginning to feel the stirrings which energized our own country in its early days. But I have been struck especially by their interest in education. They have a long distance to go still, before it will be within reach of the common man, but those who have sampled it have shown a strong intent to keep it alive, despite the handicaps of communications and a disrupted economy. When I was stationed at Kunming, I learned something of the wartime history of Chinese higher education. There is in that city an institution known as the Associated Southwestern Universities, representing three universities which were driven from their homes by war. Nankai and Peiching universities were at Tientsin, and Chinghua University at Peiping. When war came, they didn't close their doors. Instead, students and teachers, united in catastrophe, moved their establishments book by book and stone by stone a thousand miles inland, out of reach of the invader. And they are in full operation in Kunming, waiting only for the signal to return to their former sites. A similar story could be told of the other institutions of higher learning which fled before the Japanese. That story has made me appreciate all the more the educational opportunity offered to American boys and girls. I'm sure that if our alumni knew that story, they too would feel a deeper sense of gratitude that education has been made so easy for them to get, and of loyalty to the University and its supporters who have helped them obtain it. You will be interested to learn that the name of one of Buffalo's former teachers is not unknown here. He is Dr. Oliver J. Lockhart, onetime member of the economics faculty. His name is still remembered by students and teachers of economics for his part in reforming the republic's monetary policy many years ago. I wish you success in this year's alumni program, and of course I wish to be reenrolled in the Alumni Fund. Yours as ever, William G. Cook, Major, Infantry." PHARMACY ALUMNI CREATE SCHOLARSHIP Partners of Sdnes Drug Stores, Niagara Falls, N. V., James S. Hill, PhG '26, William F. Beck, PhG '14, and Clayton S. Heinze, PhG '10, have established a full tuition $1600 Pharmacy scholarship starting this fall. The first winner is Marilyn Scott of Niagara Falls. MEDICAL ROUND TABLE An original radio series, "Your Health and Happiness", was presented over WBEN on Saturday afternoons during the summer. Sponsored jointly by the Medical Society of Erie County and the Post-Graduate Department of the University of Buffalo, a panel of doctors and laymen discussed major medical and health problems, their prevention and cure. Among the participants were 30 of U. B."s medical faculty and alumni. Arthur I. Goldberg, BA '31, and Dr. John D. Naples of the Medical Society were moderators of the discussions which covered such current subjects as tuberculosis, rabies, infantile paralysis, common stomach aches and medically discharged veterans. �4 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO ALUMNI SERVICE NEWS AWARDS LEGION OF MERIT Tech. 4th gr.

Recalling their experiences and agreeing that the best of all was "coming home" are, left to right, Lieut. Col. Frank Meyers, MD '29, Maj. Joseph D. Godfrey, MD '31, and Maj. Irving Hyman, BA '29, MD '35. Three U. B. doctors served in the First Auxiliary Surgical Group. Capt. James R. Borzilleri, MD '34, president of Columbus Hospital, Capt. Charles M.Dake, Jr., PhG '24, MD '30, and Capt. Alfred J. Ferrari, MD '41, came back on leave in July after 21 months service in Europe. They dealt mostly with chest and abdominal wounds, in frequently moving field hospitals just back of the front lines. Capt. Dake has received a fellowship in the Royal Society of Medicine in London. CoL Hiram S. Yellen, MD 17, com manded the 103rd General Hospital in England. Previously, Col. Yellen spent iy2 years in the Aleutians and then one year in England where he received the Legion of Merit. "We worked two crew shifts in surgery, and hours meant nothing. We had as many as 55 and 60 major operations a day. Those were the days when I wished I had Dr. (Ward) Plummer, Dr. (Nelson G.) Russell, and Dr. (John) Fairbairn with me." (These three latter U. B. graduates were prominent Army doctors in the last war.) WRITTEN TO THE ALUMNI OFFICE "While transacting ship's business in Manila, P. 1., I met Lt. John McCreery, BS(Bus) "33, gunnery officer aboard the S/S John W. Burgess. We had a fine chat about our days at U. B. He sends his regards to all old alumni friends." J. Robert Winegar, BS(Bus) '34. "I have recently been promoted to Sgt. and have been working at the Marine Corps Institute since last July. The Institute is a correspondence school, through which many young Marines are finishing their high school educations and are doing some college work. I have prepared the lessons for new courses in chemistry, physics, general science, and plastics in conjunction with one other sergeant. Our youngsters are doing pretty well, too!" Fredrica K. Venable, BA '38. "When this war is all finished I hope to return to U. B. for about six months of review. If any special courses are going to be arranged for fellows like myself who want to 'brush-up" a bit I'd like to hear about them. My best wishes to Professors Smith, Brumbaugh and Riegel if they are still there. Their courses have really helped me out in the army as I work in a Control Group' for the commanding general. The work consists of statistics, graphs and map making.'—Ralph J. Lownie, BS(Bus) '42. Another Business Ad-er, Roland Block, '38, made practical use of his U. B. training. Applying the law of supply and demand to sewing machine needles in the South Pacific, Tech. sth gr. Block found that his returns more than covered costs of — — �ALUMNI BULLETIN labor, capital and entrepreneur. However, it developed that the natives, without benefit of schooling, were using the supply and demand theory with even more munificent results. Result—a native P.G. course for Tech. Block. Lt W. Donald Mix, BA '42, in AntiAircraft, Europe, received a letter of commendation from his general for preparing a memorial program. No less interesting was his luncheon with the Prince of Belgium. Assistant Field Director Eleanor L. Messenger, Soc '37, MSS '41, was recently commended for her work by the Commanding Officer of the 80th General Hospital in the Philippines.

ALUMNI FUND GROWS THREE MONTHS LEFT TO SHARE! steadily growing '45 Alumni Fund A attests the sincere interest of our alumni and friends in the future of U. B.

The great number of gifts from our men and women serving overseas are an inspiration; our alumni have offered their lives for country and also give freely to assist Alma Mater.

The increasing success of the '45 Fund is due in no small part to the cooperative efforts of the 308 Class Agents who have sent letters to all of our 11,250 active graduates. A reception for these Agents was held October 3 in Lockwood Memorial Library. ChancellorCapen, Mr. James McC. Mitchell, LLB '97, and Mr. George D. Crofts were among those who greeted the Agents. A few informal talks and much general discussion went on, making many Class Agents cheerfully determined to get their classes into the 100% ranks. Parlante, Vincent J., '42 Flower's Fifth Aye.

Bertram Lemon UNIVERSITY ON REVIEW FACULTY NEWS Three U. B. professors were appointed by the War Department to the faculties of Army university study centers in Europe. Dr. Harry M. Gehman, head of U. B. mathematics department, is now in charge of the mathematical group at Shrivenham, England. Dr. Oscar A. Silverman, professor of English, is teaching English at Biarritz, France. Dr. Edward S. Jones, Dean of students at U. B. and Director of the Personnel Office, is teaching psychology and doing administrative work, also at Biarritz which is near the Pyrenees. Herbert S. Lein, BS '24, MA '31, physics instructor at Millard Fillmore College, is teaching physics at Shrivenham, England. At Shrivenham there are 3625 students, ranging from private to lieutenant colonel, enrolled in 283 courses. There is no military routine for students except reveille. Over 1100 German POW handle kitchen, police and fatigue duties. At Biarritz, Mr. Silverman teaches three classes and is advisor to 90 students. In eight weeks, 4000 students are each taking the equivalent of three college term courses. The OD-clad, be-ribboned students are from all over the United States and Europe. Recently students, faculty and officers celebrated Victory with an outdoor dance. Both Dr. Silverman and Dr. Jones are living with private families. Dr. Jones writes, "Our enrollment is the largest in the University. We had 375 in general psychology alone, and only 285 books to teach with. Each man here feels that he is a chosen being—usually one out of ten who were eligible to come and wanted to, got here." Dr. Jones enjoys France with its basques, its leisurely attitude, its opera, but not the fleas and Hce. Business Administration Dr. Claude E. Puffer, acting dean of the School of Business Administration since 1938, has been appointed Dean of Administration. Dean Puffer holds bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Washington and a PhD from Stanford University. His book "Air Transportation" was published in 1941. Dr. Ralph C. Epstein has returned to his post as Dean of the Business Administration School. Dr. Robert Riegel, after a three-year absence due to illness, is resuming his position as professor of statistics. New Dean of Nursing Mrs. Anne Walker Sengbusch, BS(Nrs) '35, EdM '39, director of the School of Nursing since its establishment four years ago, has been named its first dean. Mrs. Sengbusch is past president of District I, New York State Nursing Association and is active in various nursing organizations. MORE FACULTY NEWS U. B. faculty and alumni are helping plan Buffalo's economic future. The Civic Full Employment Committee includes Dr. Samuel P. Capen, Dr. Harold M. Somers and Leo V. Lanning, LLB '23. Instructor in creative writing at Millard Fillmore college, Lloyd Graham finds a pattern for world peace in the accomplishments of the "desperate people" of the original 13 United States. His new book is The Desperate People. CAMPUS RECONVERTS U. B. HAS DOUBLE RECONVERSION PROGRAM In addition to the annual change-over from Summer Session to the fall term, U. B. is shifting from war schedules to peace. The military air left the campus with the departure of the Air Cadets last Spring. The Army and Navy are still holding forth in the Medical and Dental Schools, however. Increase in enrollment began with the summer session which was 8.4% over last year with 701 students. The fall session, including 400 veterans, began on September 26 with a tremendous increase in enrollment. The figures are not completed at this writing due to the rush at the Registrar's Office. The accelerated program enabling students to complete the regular four-year college course in three years is continuing, many having started this in July. Training in Red Cross Social Service work is being offered for college graduates interested in working with families of men and women in the armed forces and with World War II veterans. Best news to students is the re-opening of Norton Hall for student activities after two and a half years of Army occupation. On September 28, a house-warming dance proved to be full of fun and a fore-runner of much student activity. This special double-sized issue was published to cover the news accumulated from September 15. The color addiJune through tion will be used again occasionally during the year.

Abbott The Lockwood Memorial Library, which was opened in 1935, is admittedly one of the showplaces of the campus. Throughout the year, parents and visitors come in an impressed stream to gaze at the Tudor oak of the Main Reading Room and at the carved ceiling of the Librarian's Study. Presiding over this splendor with a staff of three (Anne McCarthy Ludlow, BA '36, MA f39, Ivah R. Sweeney, and Janet E. Brown, BA "42, MA '45), and keeping an experienced eye on the efficient functioning of both campus and professional school libraries is Professor Charles D. Abbott, Director of the University of Buffalo Libraries, Rhodes Scholar, past president of the University chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, and authority on modern poetry, bibliography and English literature. Despite this impressive array of attainments. Mr. Abbott derives some of his greatest satisfaction from his domestic accomplishments. Living outside the small town of Pavilion in the Genesee Valley, he commutes the 53 miles to the university twice a week, and in the summer his car is always laden with eggs, lettuce and obscure vegetables which he distributes with an immodest pride. At home he gazes affectionately on Benjamin (a gander) and Sir Francis (his prize drake); hopefully on his fifty chickens and five rabbits; tolerantly on his three children (David, Agnes and Neil), two dogs (Sing Sing and Gudule), and one cat (Belial), all overseen by his versatile wife. He can discuss the merits of one canning system over another with as much authority as he can state Dryden's death date, or the distinguishing characteristics of a first edition of Moby Dick. A born storyteller, he takes equal pleasure in relating the eccentricities of poetlaureate John Masefield and those of his local gas station manager Charlie Gerlach. His election last year to the Pavilion School Board indicated his complete adoption by the townspeople as one of themselves —an honor accorded to few outsiders. Quietly inconspicuous in University affairs, he is a man whose influence is widely felt, though few students except those enrolled in his English courses ever come to know him well. A more familiar figure is Ruth Bartholomew, associate librarian. Because their dealings with her generally pertain to such matters as requests for stack permission, appeals on fines, and settlements for lost books, students have come to think of her as representing solely the business side of the library. However, it is thanks to her talent for organization that the library's social events are so successful, that the innumerable teas held there while Norton Hall was out of use were managed with such skill. Her contagious enthusiasm is well-known, and when turned on such The above article is the fifth in the series written by guest authors about the University's administration. The alumni staff is indebted to those who have contributed so materially to the Bulletin. projects as Red Cross knitting, it aroused the entire library staff to produce such a quantity of knitted garments as was not equalled anywhere else on campus. In orT'campus hours, she is highly regarded as an accomplished musician (she studied piano at Oberlin), and as a delightful entertainer of small children, of whom she is uniformly fond. Because she has been with the library since its inception in Foster Hall, there is no part of its functioning in which she is not interested, and with the secretarial assistance of Ruth Schiferle Neubeck, BA '45, she supervises such diverse problems as provisioning the wellstocked supply room, and securing obscure material on inter-library loan for professors doing research. Behind the seemingly automatic routine of circulation lies a complicated network of organization which makes it possible for things to run as smoothly as they generally do. New book lists and second-hand book catalogs are steadily combed to fill gaps in the library's holdings. Headed by Margarst Y. Johnston, BA '31, LS '31, the cataloging department goes through necessary routine on every book received. Also, over 400 magazines are subscribed to, and back-files of important journals must be acquired. The staff at the Main Desk and at the Reserve Room desk have the difficult and thankless task of maintaining sufficient quiet to accommodate those students who are really working. During the war, with registration low and Norton Union facilities limited, the library became an unofficial if slightly frowned upon—social gathering place, and the usual restrictions enforcing absolute silence were somewhat relaxed. Now, with both reading rooms back almost to pre-war capacities, with the Reserve Room handling from 450 to 550 people a day, and the Main Reading Room nearly 400 more, it has again become necessary to emphasize no-talking regulations. The Browsing Room, where talking and smoking are permitted at any time, is nearly always filled to its limited capacity, and an overflow of sociable students may be found congregated in halls throughout the build- — ing. For students who are not enrolled during the summer, for alumni and others who wish to continue using the library's facilities, the library maintains an organization known as the Friends of the Lockwood Library. Membership in the Friends is available to all, at fees ranging from two dollars a year for students and alumni to one hundred and fifty dollars for life memberships, and mem- �UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 2 bers have the privileges of the library at all times. They hold special exhibits several times a year, which are set up in the second floor Exhibition Room by Mr. Abbott and his staff; they have occasional teas, and they sponsor the program of Christmas choral singing which is the library's largest social event. Most of all, through their membership dues, they enable Mr. Abbott to carry on the library's rare book collecting. Mr. Lockwood's magnificent gift of rare books (part of which is on exhibition now) came with the building in 1935, and provided the backbone of the library's rare book collection. Many years later, George Nathan Newman's generous gift of books furnished a similar basis for building an American collection. In the meantime, through the Carnegie Corporation, the Modern Poetry Collection was made possible. It is in the field of modern poetry that the library hopes to make its unique contribution to the scholarly world, in making available to the student of twentieth century poetry this collecion, already numbering nearly 10,000 volumes of first editions, and with them a collateral collection of manuscripts contributed by over 300 modern poets. With the war over, the library's most serious efforts, under Mr. Abbott's supervision, will be put into the further expansion and development of this project which has already added so greatly to the University's academic stature.

Barrel!, LLB '40, assistant field director for the American Red Cross, is in Honshu, Japan. He writes of the beautiful rolling, green country with high mountains in the background and a temperature now of zero. Despite the drop the mercury, the buildings are of the thinnest possible paper-like wood, and there is no heating system. Stoves even now are being installed, but he and his companions are doubtful as to their effectiveness. One of the most colorful sights of the moment is the natives' return trek to their homes, their household goods piled high on every imaginable type of conveyance.

Our boats were first to beach on the sacred soil of Japan on Aug. 29th and to evacuate the first POW's from camps Omori and Shinagawa. All the atrocity stories you have read are true. Camp Shinagawa, the "model" hospital for POWs was utterly inadequate by our standards, as you have no doubt read. They made only a gesture at sanitation, e.g. to rid a "ward" offleas, they tied a dog in the hut during the day, removed him and washed him each night. The great majority of Japs are primitive, simple-minded folk, incapable of self- govenment. Lt. Richard J. Jones, MA '42, MD '43. — J. Coniglio, PhG '38; Wal- lace D. Redman. Soc.

The many inspiring gifts from our service men and women have been cited before. Recently a contribution was received from a civilian doctor who has lived in England for many years. He writes: "We people of England have had much to contend with during these war years, but our friendship with the United States has done much to make things more pleasant. May this friendship long continue and may our joint efforts make the world a better place to live in. Devon is a lovely country but must be seen to be appreciated.

The cessation of hostilities changes the out' look for the immediate future. It affords an opportunity, also, to summarize the University's direct contributions to the war effort from 1941 to date. One thousand seven hundred and fourteen graduates of the University have been members of the armed forces. It has proved impossible to maintain an absolutely accurate count of the students who have been called to active military service before completing their respective courses of study, since the count of calls have been continuous, and in some instances have not been reported to the recording offices. The number of non-graduates who have been members of the armed forces is roughly estimated as almost equal to the number of alumni. The University service flag bears 27 gold stars. More than a quarter of the members of the faculty have been granted leaves of absence to engage in war service. Most of them are, or have been, members of the armed forces. Others have served with the War Production Board, the Office of Strategic Services, the Office of Scientific Research and Development, the War Manpower Commission, the Office of Price Administration, the Alien Property Custodian, the War Labor Board and the Radiation Laboratory. One absent member of the faculty was responsible for an essential piece of research which made possible the production of the V-T fuse. Important contribution*; to the development of the atomic bomb were made by two members of the staff. (In addition six civilian alumni and one uniformed graduate were involved in the experimental and research work on the atomic bomb.) Through the courses of study prescribed by the Federal authorities the University trained nearly 3000 members of military units, reservists and technical specialists be tween June, 1942 and the end of the war. From the summer of 1941 until the summer of 1945 the University participated in the Federal Government's program of Engineering. Science and Management War Training by conducting courses for workers in the war industries of this area. The total number of individuals enrolled in these courses exceeded 10,000. IMMEDIATE EFFECTS OF THE WAR It is implied above that the University suffered serious losses of both students and teachers. The total civilian enrollment in the full-time divisions began to decline slightly even before the United States beas a result, first, of the operation of the Selective Service Act, and second, of the competing attraction of highly paid employment in the war industries of came a belligerent, this area. The decline continued at a rapidly increasing rate following America's entry into the war. When the low point was reached, in 1944, the civilian enrollment had fallen off somewhat more than 50%. Large as the losses were, the numerical decline in the civilian enrollment of both day and evening sessions was smaller every year than had been anticipated when the annual budgets were adopted. Although the University's status with respect to total civilian enrollment remained relatively favorable, the incidence of loss was very serious, both for the University itself and for the professional life of the nation. The student bodies of the School of Law, the School of Pharmacy, the School of Business Administration, the School of Education and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences were reduced to a mere handful. The Council is aware that professional education in these fields was judged by the Government to have no military value. Durin? the last two years the only persons permitted to prepare themselves for professional service in law, business, teaching, pharmacy, the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities were women and men physically disqualified for military duty. Assignments of military personnel continued to be made to schools of medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine and engineering. But this was the Government's only provision for maintaining the professional competence of the nation. Notwithstanding the reduction of the enrollment of several of its important professional schools to about the size of a corporal's guard and notwithstanding the serious losses in teaching personnel, the University has continued all divisions in full operation. No courses for which applicants have presented themselves have been suspended. The structure of the institution remains intact. The decline in the number of civilian students was closely paralleled by the temporary loss of members of the teaching and administrative staffs. The largest drafts of faculty members for Government service occurred, moreover, in precisely those departments which were most directly concerned with the instruction of military personnel. Four examples may be cited. Eighty members of the faculty of the Medical School, nearly half of the total body, entered the armed forces. More than half the membership of the departments of physics, chemistry and economics were summoned to participate in Government projects as investigators or as administrators. The loss of these and other members of the faculty not only diluted the quality of the University's offerings; it also threw upon the staff members who remained an exceptionally heavy burden of teaching, especially during the last two years of war when the University was entrusted with the instruction of substantial numbers of student soldiers and sailors. In fact, the University would have been wholly unable to meet its obligations to the War and Navy Depart' ments if some of the remaining faculty members had not volunteered to teach subjects outside their respective fields of specialization. In order to render this service effectively, many of these instructors had to go to school again to their own colleagues. A secondary result of the overloading of the resident teaching staff was the interference with research and scholarly production. In the years before the war the faculty of the University of Buffalo was making its appropriate contribution to the general stream of scholarly production. The teaching schedules required by the University were relatively light. They were des;gned to allow time for research and writing and the private study necessary for a scholar's growth. During the war years these conditions were radically altered. The faculty by its own voluntary action took over the teaching of Army units in addition to its regular teaching assignments. This meant an increase of the average teaching load by as much as 25%, in some divisions by as much as 30%, with the result that few members of the staff had either time or energy left for creative scholarship. The loss is imponderable, but it is none the less real. The losers have been not alone the members of the faculty. The students although they may not know it have also been losers. But the chief loser has been the nation at large, for the situation which has prevailed here has been common to American universities. In one resoect the University has fared far better than any of its administrative officers dared to anticipate. It has had no operating deficits. In previous reports I have discussed at some length the reasons for this favorable financial situation. But to complete the present summary I now list them again. They are: (1) the sizeable Government contracts for the instruction, housing and feeding of military personnel and for the use of part of the University plant; (2) the faculty's action in assuming the task of teaching student soldiers without extra compensation; (3) the large number of teachers who were absent on war service and hence not paid by the University; (4) the increase in the fee income of the Medical School as a result of the all the year round operation; and (5) the comparatively large civilian enrollment. — — �3 ALUMNI BULLETIN Planning for Educational Improvements Any account of the immediate effects of the war would be incomplete, if it failed to mention the reexamination of the University's educational programs which the staffs of nearly all divisions have undertaken. The Council will recall that for many years the Medical School has selected its annual entering class of 70 students from an average of over 1000 applicants. Although only two years of pre-medical study are prescribed as a minimum entrance requirement, very few applicants have lately been accepted who have not had three or four years of preliminary preparation. Only students with very superior college records have been admitted on two years of preprofessional study. The experience with the A.S.T.P. students who have been allowed but fifteen months of pre-medical training before assignment to the School has demonstrated that for the rank and file of medical students this limited amount of preparation is insufficient. The School is looking forward to the day when the selection of its student body will be once more wholly in its own hands. It is common knowledge that remarkable medical discoveries were made just before or immediately after the United States entered the war, and that special needs of the armed forces led to amazingly rapid improvements in many techniques of treatment. These developments of medical science and art, combined with the disruption of medical schools under the pressure of Army and Navy requirements, have presented a peculiar challenge to all who are concerned with medical education. It is obvious that the medical curriculum will have to be redesigned. New subjects will have to be included. The points of emphasis will have to be shifted. In certain fields new methods of presentation will hay? to be introduced. There must be much larger provision for clinical research and for the tra-ning of students in the techniques of research. Only thus can the schools keep abreast of the recent extraordinary advances and prepare students for the competent practice of what has become the most rapidly developing of all professions. The Council is familiar with the tutorial plan of instruction to which the College of Arts and Sciences has been committed for the past fourteen years, and with the very flexible requirements for the A.B. degree. Details of the scheme have occasionally been questioned and occasionally been altered. During the past year, for the first time, the CurriculumCommittee has addressed itself to an overhauling of the whole program. It has analyzed the records of hundreds of students, reexamined the stated aims of the College, studied the results of a great variety of tests administered by our own staff and by outsiders, and accumulated testimony from alumni and from others concerning the virtues and the defects of the existing liberal arts program. The Committee has devoted an immense amount of time to the task. It has prepared a comprehensive report which will shortly be presented to the faculty. Because of the peculiar urgency of the problems which they faced, the Medical School and the College of Arts and Sci' ences have conducted more elaborate reviews of their respective enterprises than have the other divisions of the University. However, the Law School, the School of Business Administration, the School of Dentistry and the School of Nursing have also carried on curriculum studies and have outlined plans for new offerings which the war experience has shown to be desirable. Continuing Shortages Repeated reference has been made above certain unfortunateresults of the Government's manpower policy. In my last annual I discussed at length the probable deficit of physicians, dentists, engineers and types other of professional and scientific specialists. The policy has created a national emergency no less real and no less critical than the military emergency which has now been successfully met. I said a year ago that we alone among the warring nations had decided to throw away our seed corn. The question of whether the policy was justified need no longer be debated. It has come to have only a historical interest. But the question of what the nation is to do now rises with even greater insistence. The war has been won. The armed forces are being demobilized. But we are still throwing away our seed corn. We are still making it impossible for any one not a member of the female sex, or not physi' cally disqualified for military service, to become a phvsirian, a dentist, an engineer, a teacher, a chemist, a physicist or any other kind of technical expert. We are still drafting boys of eighteen and granting no deferments to those preparing themselves, or desiring to prepare themselves, for these vital ocupations. Unless this policy is altered and altered without delay, the health of the nation, its productivity and its competitive position in the highly competitive postwar world will be placed in fatal jeopardy. RECORD OF THE YEAR In March, 1944, the Chancellor appointed committee, broadly representative of the a various divisions of the University. known as the Committee on Veterans Educational Services. Its assigned duties were to study the probable needs of returning veterans, to set up appropriate advisory services, and to recommend to the several faculties special course offerings and curriculum adjustments. The existing University Office of War Training was designed as the Committee's administrative agency to conduct the direct relations with the Veterans Administration and to handle all matters dealing with veterans' registration. At the beginning of the year under review the special committee of the Counci', under the chairmanship of Mr. Myron S. Short, which was engaged in raising a sum of money sufficient to erect and equip a laboratory building for instruction in mechanical engineering, had advanced so far in its task that the Council authorized the inauguration of a four-year curriculum in this branch. It also instructed the Chancellor to seek a director of the new currito report culum and of the already existing degree curriculum in industrial management. The new director, Professor Paul E. Mohn, formerly Director of the Mechanical Engineering Laboratories of the University of Illinois, was appointed September 13, 1944. Fifty new students were accepted in the fall of 1944 as candidates for the degree in mechanical engineering. In view of the existing regulations of the Selective Service System the number was unexpectedly large. The officers of the University believe that rhis early response confirms their conviction of the demand for such instruction in this area. For the contributions which have made this development possible the University is indebted chiefly to the manufacturing industries of the Niagara Frontier. The heads of many of these firms have not only pledged large donations of cash and equinment, but they have also taken an active interest in the project and have given the University much helpful advice. It is particularly gratifyine that this auspicious start in the field of engineering education has been made in time to meet the needs of returning veterans. In my last report I acknowledged the fund contributed by a group of department stores in Buffalo to establish a Department of Retailing in the School of Business Administration. The new curriculum in retailing, made possible by this fund, went into operation in the fall of 1944 under the direction of the newly appointed Assistant Professor of Retailing, Miss Jennie S Graham. In the spring of 1945 Colonel Mark DeWolfe Howe, who had been on leave of absence for somewhat more than two years, presented his resignation as Dean of the School of Law. Acting Dean Philip Halpern, who is now Counsel of the New York State Public Service Commission, has consented at great personal inconvenience to carry on the duties of the deanship on a part-time basis for the present. But he has asked to be relieved of this responsibility as soon as the enrollment of the School begins to increase again. Dr. Earl J. McGrath, Dean of Administration, who had been on leave of absence for two years while serving as Lieutenant Commander in the Navy, returned to his post in December, 1944. In June 1945 he resigned to accept the deanship of the College of Liberal Arts of the State University of lowa. The Council appointed in his place, Dr. Claude E. Puffer, who had served for three years as Acting Dean of the School of Business Administration. Since the establishment of the School of Nursing its executive head has borne the title of Director. Under her leadership the School has had a truly remarkable development. The scope of its offerings has been constantly enlarged and its enrollment has increased with great rap:dity. Although it is a newcomer to the group of university schools of nursing, it has received the approval of all the state and national agencies concerned with establishing standards in nursing education. In June, 1945 the Council voted to change the title of the Director, Mrs. Anne W. Sengbusch, to that of Dean. �UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 4 THE ENROLLMENT AND THE BUDGET FOR 1945-1946 The low point in the University's enrollment was reached in the year 1943-1944. During the year under review the enrollment of the regular day division increased 3.46%. The enrollment of the Summer Session increased 23.43%. The enrollment of Millard Fillmore College increased 16.58%. The increase in the total University enrollment was 17.08%. The total enrollment of the University 4641 as compared with 3964 in the preceding year. In preparing the budget estimates for the year 194V1946, the estimating officers were obliged to take into account a number of actual And foreseeable happenings which would affect unfavorably the relation between the University's income and its expenditures. AH military units except those in the Medical and Dental Schools had already been discontinued. The Army A.S.T.P. Unit in the Medical School had been reduced in size, and notice had been given that it would be withdrawn within the next academic year. It was assumed that the Navy V-12 Unit would be withdrawn at aDproximately the same time. The E.S.M.W.T. Program, which had relieved the general University budget of certain items in the categories both of administration and instruction, had been discontinued. Members of the instructional staff on leave of absence for Government service were already beginning to return and it was anticipated that most of the absentees would resume their places on the salary rolls of the University within the coming year. While the student enrollment appeared to have taken a definite upward turn, large further increases would remain highly problematical as long as ex;stine Selective Service regulations were in effect. Taking all these factors into account, the Chancellor presented, and the Council adopted on June 29th, 1945 a budget for the next academic year carrying a substantial operating deficit. Moreover, the budget as adopted included a transfer to estimated income for 1945-1946 of as large a proportion of the operating sutdlus of the preceding year as was judged to be safe. This is the first time in thirteen years that the Council has been asked to approve a budget carrying more than a nominal estimated deficit. It is to be hoped, of course, that during the year savinrs in the appropriations can be made, and that perhaps some of the adverse conditions which had to be prepared for will not actually be realized. Alumni Loyalty Fund The group which more than any other has reason to be concerned with the University's welfare is, of course, the alumni body. Until recently only scattered efforts had been made to establish an alumni fund sustained by annual contributions. Two years ago, the General Alumni Board addressed itself vigorously to this project. It conducted, almost entirely through the mails, a systematic campaign for subscriptions to the Alumni Lovaity Fund. A surorisinely large number of graduates responded to the was appeal, and the total amount of the contributions was greatly in excess of any sum previously collected. Especially welcome were the contributions which came from service men and women stationed all over the world, many of them accompanied by expressions of the contributors' desire to do all in their power to advance the interests of the University. During the year under review the Alumni Loyalty Fund campaign has met with an even more widespread response and the amount subscribed is substantially larger. It may now be assumed that the Fund will continue to grow and that it will soon produce an important addition to the University's annual income. THE CENTENNIAL On May 11th, 1846, the Legislature of the State of New York passed an act incorporating the University of Buffalo. The petitioners for this charter were primarily interested in securing authorization for the establishment of a college of medicine. Nevertheless, they had the foresight to ask for a university charter entitling the new institution to "confer such literary honors, degrees and diplomas as are usually granted by any university, college or seminary of learning in the United States". And, indeed, the terminology used throughout the act of incorporation reveals the intent of the petitioners to lay the foundations fir an institution of wider scope than a medical college. Contrary to the usual practice of the day, the University was chartered as a non-sectarian institution. Instruction in medicine, which was the purpose sought by the incorporators, began in the autumn of 1846. The original faculty contained several physicians already distinguished in their profession who later became outstanding figures in the annals of American medicine. As the members of the Council and most friends of the University know, many years elapsed before the original plan of the founders to establish a university in fact as well as in name was realized. The Medical Department existed alone for forty years. Then, in not too rapid succession, departments of pharmacy, law and dentistry were added. Not until 1913 did the University come to include a college of arts and sciences. Thus the usual evolutionary process of American universities was here reversed. But The normal evolutionary trend asserted itself following the establishment of the College of Arts and Sciences, which has in the last twenty-five years given birth to schools of Business Administration, Education, Social Work, Nursing and a Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. In view of the fact that the Medical School is the only part of the University which will actually be one hundred years old, the Council has already decided that the anniversary observances should stress particularly the University's contribution to medical education, to the advancement of medical science and to the elevation of the standards of medical practice in this region during the past century. Its tentative plans include conferences and symposia conducted by eminent authorities in the field of medicine from other academic centers. The Council also expects to take advantage of this anniversary to ask the friends of the University for gifts both for general and for special purposes to enable the institution to enlarge and improve its service to the Niagara Frontier and to the nation. The appeal for funds will emphasize the peculiar needs of the Medical School at this stage of its development, needs which the impending changes in medical education make especially pressing. Respectfully submitted, SAMUEL P. CAPEN _ A MESSAGE TO ALL U. B. CIVILIAN ALUMNI The University has continuous requests for men and women to fill positions. However, with the large number of returning veterans, more available positions should be in our files. Will you take an active part by keeping the Personnel Office posted about job openings? The following form may be used for convenience. Also you may write or call Dr. Mazie Wagner or Mr. Roger Gratwick, Personnel Office. Please note that part-time jobs for veterans are needed urgently.

Gentlemen: The annual report of the Comptroller and Treasurer for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1945 is presented herewith. The Balance Sheet, Exhibit "A", shows total Assets of $14,625,170.10, distributed as follows: Endowment Assets $6,944,-664.08; Plant Assets, $7,118,091-80; and Operating Assets $562,414.22. Schedule "A-l" is a schedule of the Special Purpose Funds as at June 30, 1945. This schedule merits the special attention of the members of the Council and friends of the University. It is an impressive list of 126 funds established by friends of the University who have sought, by gift or bequest, to satisfy some partciular need of the University. Nine of these funds represent Professorships; 85 represent Lectureships, Scholarships, or Prize Funds; and the remainder provide Endowment for either General Purposes of the University or for some other particular purpose. These funds have become more important to the University than the donors could possibly have foreseen. They help to make up the difference between the income from student fees and the actua! cost of operating the University. These funds, both General Purpose and Special Purpose, now constituting the Endowment of the University, are very generous but are in no way adequate for a University the size of ours. They furnish only 20% of the annual income of the University, leaving 80% to be met from student fees. Many needs remain to be satisfied: the need for more endowments of Professorships to enable the University to attract and hold more Professors of outstanding intellectual attainments; the need for the endowment of additional scholarships to help defray the expense of educating young persons of high scholastic quality; the need for funds for scientific research which the University must undertake in ever greater measure if it is to keep pace with other modern, progressive institutions; and, the need for unrestricted endowment to permit the administration of the Un'versity to expand and improve its general educational facilities. These are some of the needs which the officers of the University point out to its Council and friends. It is their hope that, as the University next year celebrates the One Hundredth year of its founding, many more persons will provide for her needs by increased gifts to her Endowment Funds. There is no surer way of perpetuating the record of one's interest in the institution. The total value of Land, Buildings, and Equipment on June 30, 1945, was $7,117,-987.71. The University buildings are in good condition, despite their heavy wartime usage. The trend toward declining enrollments, felt so sharply during the early war years, has slackened. In fact, a reversal of this trend seems to be in progress. With only two exceptions, every division of the University showed an increase in enrollment during the year under review with a resultant increase in income from student fees. The two exceptions were the School of Dentistry and the School of Pharmacy where a further decline in income from student fees occurred. In the School of Dentistry this decline came as a result of the termination of the Army Training Program which closed its unit in the Dental School as of September 23, 1944. Fees received from students in all divisions of the University during the year covered by this report totaled $854,672.39, or 79.7% of the total income of the University, as against $787,891.61, or 76.8% in the preceding year, an increase of $66,780.78. The increase in expenditures has more than kept pace with the increase in income. For example, salaries of instruction for the year under review showed an increase of $105,061.45 over the salaries of the preceding year. The sharp increase was due almost entirely to the extent to which the University budget again had to assume salaries of instruction which during the preceding year had been borne by the Army Air Forces Training Program. That program which was in ooeration from February 28, 1943 to the spring of 1944 and which embraced the training of 500 men, absorbed a far greater share of instructional costs than did the Army Specialized Training Program which covered the training of only 300 men from July 1, 1944 to March 31, 1945. The return of these teaching salaries to the University budget accounts for the above considerable increase in the item "Salaries of Instruction". The same factor, likewise, accounts for the increase of $35,896.97 in the cost of operation and maintenance of University buildings and heating plant. The Army Air Forces Program in the preceding year furnished a greater offset to the cost of operating and maintaining buildings used in its Program than did the Army Specialized Training Program which used the University buildings less extensively. Administrative allowances and fees were also considerably less under the smaller Army Specialized Training Program than under the Army Air Forces Program. On the whole, how ever, the Army Specialized Training Program made very good use of existing University facilities and helped to a considerable extent to relieve the University of instructional and operational costs which' would have been burdensome during the wax years when normal student income was sharply curtailed. On June 30, 1945, the stocks and bonds in the University portfolio which had been purchased by the University, and excluding gifts, were classified as follows on the basis nf market worth: United States, State, Municipal and Foreign Government bonds, 30.03%; Railroad Bonds, 3.80%; Public Utility Bonds, 3.44%; Industrial Bonds, .85%; Public Utility Preferred Stocks, 13%; Industrial Preferred Stocks, 4.62%; Investment Trust Preferred Stocks, 1.48%; Bank Preferred Stocks, .65% ; Railroad Common Stocks, .72% ; Public Utility Common Stocks, 3.10%; Industrial Common Stocks, 20.80%; Bank Capital Stocks, 5.38%; Insurance Common Stocks, 7.71%; Investment Trust Common Stocks, 4.42%. The market value on June 30, 1945, of the stocks and bonds in the University's portfolio was 108.46% of their book value. Plans and specifications for the new Engineering building were completed in the late summer, and construction will be begun in the current month. The building will be three stories in height and will be located on the southerly side of the campus on a line with the University Bookstore, the center line of the face of the building on an axis with the center line of the southerly face of Lockwood Memorial Library. From the rear of the building an Engineering Laboratory, 72 by 100 feet, will extend. The structure will constitute the center unit of an Engineering building to which wings will be subsequently added. The cost of the presbe approximately ent building will $285,000. At June 30, 1945, the close of the year covered by this report, $179,725 toward this cost had been raised by a committee headed by Myron S. Short, Chairman of the Committee on University Development. The Alumni Loyalty Fund now numbers 850 Alumni contributors who thus far this year have contributed $10,518 to the Loyalty Fund. The Council and administrative officers of the University are deeply appreciative of this splendid accomplishment. Other gifts and bequests received during the year covered by this report include: Addition to the George P. and Sara N. McArthur Fund, $26,172.99; Mr. and Mrs. George C. Rice, for the establishment of the George C. and Ida K. Rice Memorial Fund, $10,000; Estate of Evelyn Rumsey Cary, for addition to the Dr. Charles Cary Memorial Fund, $6,114.24; John Wood, for addition to the Lockwood Memorial Library Endowment Fund, $5,000; Uebelhoer Bros., Inc. for the establishment of the Ueblehoer Brothers Scholarship, $5,000; C.I.BiA.

During the current academic year, and for several years to come, the University will receive substantial income from the Government Program for the training of re turned servicemen under Public Law 16 and Public Law 346 of the 78th Congress. During the second semester of the academic year 1944-1945, 120 veterans received instruction under these Programs. For the first semester of the academic year 1945-1946 approximately 500 veterans are registered in these Programs, and it is estimated that this number may reach 700 in the second semester of the new academic year. 2,000.00 2,000.00 2,000.00 1,376.67 1,260.08 1,123-74 1,123.63 1,116.44 1,046.12 1,000.00 1,000.00 1,000.00 800.00 737.92 708.90 529.09 500.00 281.53 275.45 207.18 4.36 3,373,612.37 Purpose Funds, to 7 Carried $4,969,723.37 With the sudden ending of the war and the consequent withdrawal of Government Programs the University finds itself facing the unknown prospects of the post-war years. These prospects are promising because of the increased civilian enrollment and because of the opportunity which the Government has afforded to returned veterans to obtain a University education. For the further development and expansion of the University it must, however, continue to rely on the support of its friends and its Alumni. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE D. CROFTS, Comptroller.

"It is no derogation of the achievements of any of these," he continued, "that one man stands pre-eminent among them and that through a rare combination of imagination, experience, orgarizing r.bility and daring he was able to make a ur.ique contribution to the confusion cf our enemies and the success of our arms." As director of the Office of Strategic Services, Gen. Donovan organized and led the far-flung, hush-hush system of secret agents and undercover workers which rendered a monumental service to the country.

He first won national acclaim as leader of the femed "Fighting 69th" in 1917-18, and sole winner of the three highest Congressional American decorations Medal, DSC, DSM.

Not among the last to be heard from was Buffalo's Jim Peelle, who recently revealed that (1) Ninety students have enrolled for spring practice; (2) an eightgame schedule has been booked for next Fall; (3) Fritz Febel, line coach who helped produce the 1942 eleven which won six out of eight, is emerging from Army service, may be back at his old job. "It's the big veteran registration that gave us all the material," said Peelle. "We'll be at least three deep in every position, but so will utir opponents. Nevertheless, our club will look good and will give the customers their money'? worth." They won only five out of 11 games, but members of Buffalo's scrappy lit'.le basketball squad had the satisfaction of reviving intercollegiate athletics, closing the season with a pair of wins. Worst defeat: by Toronto, 91-11; closest defeat (and most heartbreaking): by Niagara, 60-59; sweetest victory: over Buffalo State Teachers, 54-44, after a previous loss, 47-31.

Veterans, eager to make up for lost time, accustomed to griping at service snafu, have made complaints. Teachers and ac ministrative officers have responded by making adjustments, taking on extra loads, pressing extra staff members into When war came service. And still they come. A special enrollment was permitted this month for service personnel who would otherwise have had to wait for the Summer Session or the Fall semester. Daytime enrollment has jumped from about 1900 to around 5500, with the end not yet in sight. Experts estimate the peak will not be reached for another year.

Vying for top priority were such problems as reconversion from the Army-Navy accelerated program of instruction; increase in number of applications for admission; post-internship residencies for returning veterans; postgraduate courses for exservice men and practitioners; special events celebrating the school's centennial. Reconversion: The accelerated pro- gram established during the war for the armed forces will terminate by June 22. The 56 seniors studying under Army sponsorship will continue on that status until graduation. Second and third year students enrolled under the same plan were discharged last month. The Navy program finished last December, its personnel going on inactive duty. The 74 students enrolled at that time continued their studies as civilians. Admissions: Applications for enrollment every year reach the vicinity of 1000, from which the school is permitted, because of limited facilities, to accept only 70-odd. School authorities this month pointed to the war-born back-log of candidates, measured the swelling stack of letters, estimated the figure will reach 2000 by next fall. Regretfully they stated that, in contrast with other University divisions, the school cannot increase its enrollment. Post-internship: Many medical officers returning from war service are enrolling in a program of residency for post-internship under the school's direction. They will be able to take advantage of the GI Bill, specializing in the field of their choice in Buffalo hospitals. Nearly 60 or them started April 1, when resident staffs underwent considerable change as non-veterans became eligible for military service. Allowances received as hospital residents will not affect eligibility for servicemen's benefits. In charge of the plan is Frank Meyers, MD '29, assistant professor of pharmacology and therapeutics. Postgraduate courses: For returneu medical officers and practitioners, tne department of postgraduate teaching is sponsoring three courses beginning April 22, ending April 27. Students will attend from 9 to 5 o'clock daily. have a choice of lectures and clinics on pediatrics, therapeutics, malignant diseases. A. H. Aaron, MD '12, professor of clinical medicine, is in charge, with William F. Lipp, MD '36, instructor in medicine, acting as secretary. Special events: The Medical School dates its history back to May 11, 1846, when the University charter was signed in Albany. Official celebration of the event will be held next Fall, but Charter Day will not pass unnoticed. School authorities plan an open house that day. They will invite the public in to see where their doctors get a large part of their professional training. Plans are crystallizing, too, for a series of medical symposiums next fall, immediately preceding the October celebration. The Medentian, for more than ten years the monthly magazine and yearbook of the Medical and Dental Schools, will devote its graduation issue to an observance of the centennial. MEDICAL ADVISERS PICKED News that the Veterans Administration will build a new hospital on Bailey Avenue opposite the University campus, was followed last month by appointment of a liaison committee comprising 11 Medical School facultymen. Selected by Acting Dean Stockton Kimball, MD "29, the group will recommend all staff appointments to the hospital, and will work with a similar committee from the University of Rochester on a survey of services at the Veterans Facility in Batavia.

Just in time to direct the Medical School's anniversary observance, Stockton Kimball, MD '29, was appointed dean of the University's oldest division. He had served as acting dean since the death in February of Dr. Edward W. Koch. In announcing the appointment, Chancellor Capen described Alumnus Kimball as "one of our foremost graduates who, in his 11-year association with the medical faculty, "has demonstrated unusual teaching and administrative capacity." The 43-year-old dean is a Buffaionian by birth, He won a bachelor of science degree at Harvard in 1924, was awarded his Buffalo medical degree "cum laude." He studied in Europe from 1931 to 1933, joined the medical faculty as instructor in medicine^ and pharmacology in 1935. *He was promoted subsequently to associate, became assistant dean in July, 1944. Medical students have found Dr. Kimball an authority on malaria and other tropical diseases, which he studied in Costa Rica and Guatemala under sponsorship of the Markle Foundation. Henceforth he will find less and less time for teaching, as he takes on such new responsibilities as representing the alumni at the annual Moving Up Day exercises (April 27) ; directing the Medical School's lOCth Birthday Open House (May 11); speaking at the University's memorial services for Dean Koch (May 12). No surprise to those who can read signs was the elevation of the Department of Mechanical Engineering to school status. The signs: a steadily increasing need for engineering training and a marked increase in enrollment in engineering courses. A speedup in construction of the new divisions building is under way. Staff teachers.handling a whopping enrollment of 400 day students, 200 more in the evening session, expect to occupy the new structure by Fall. Concrete has been poured to the first floor level. division was started The as a part of the College of Arts and Sciences. It offers bachelor of science degrees in mechanical engineering and industrial technology. Some students have requested courses in chemical and electrical engineering, but the school is unable to offer them at present. First dean of Engineering is Dr. Paul E. Mohn, former professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Illinois. He is a graduate of Pennsylvania State Col- ' NEW DEANS Left, Engineering's Dr. Mohn; right, Medicine's Dr. Kimball lege and Illinois. He taught at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute from 1922 to 1925 and at Illinois from 1925 to 1944, when he came to Buffalo to head its engineering faculty. Among his industrial contributions was the designing of a new line of warm-air furnaces; development of a wet-bulb thermo couple for use in mechanical engineering laboratories; developmental work on fans for barrage balloons for the Army Engineering Corps. The day session has eight teachers this year. Next year the staff will be increased to 12. Five Buffalo area industrial experts teach evening classes. Their number will be increased next year too. Other faculty news: Resignation: Helen I. Driver, associate professor of physical education, to become executive director of the Red Cross chapter in Medford, Mass. She has been on leave of absence as a Red Cross worker overseas. Election: Dr. Marvin Farber, chairman of the philosophy department, to the executive committee of the Council of the Association for Symbolic Logic. PLASTICS SERIES COMING Adding its sizable bit to the Centennial Celebration, the Chemistry Department will sponsor a Symposium on Plastics, which will be held on campus June 7 and 8. Invitations have gone out to hundreds of Northeast United States scientists, university and industrial researchers. They will be able to hear some of the latest news on plastics, much of which was kept under cover during the war. So important are some of the developments that two publishers already are competing for rights to print and distribute the papers as a commemorative volume. Chairman of the event is Emmette F. hard of the research division. Rayon Department, E. I. duPont de Nemours & Co., Inc. No popular lectures, the papers will be devoted to such technical matters as viscoelastic properties, vinyl resins, molecular theory, plasticized and unplasticized polymers For the benefit of the public, however, a general talk on "Plastics and Plasticizers" will be given in Foster Hall June 6 at 8 P.M. The speaker will be Dr. Turner Alfrey, Jr., professor of physical chemistry at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. Speakers on the following two-day program will include Dr. M. C. Reed of the Bakelite Corporation; Dr. A K. Doolittle, assistant research director of the Carbide & Carbon Chemical Corp.; Dr. R. F. Bayer, assistant director of physical research, Dow Chemical Co.; Dr. Verne L. Simril of the duPont Rayon Department, and Dr. Alfrey. The series logically follows a Polymer Seminar being given this year under department sponsorship. Plasticizer: an agent which makes plastics more plastic. NO RAIN ON MOVING UP DAYIt is a strong tradition among under- graduates that it always rains on Moving Up Day. Few of them know that many such Spring festivals have proceeded under sunny skies. This year's weather set a new majk. It snowed. Despite cold winds from the Great Lakes basin, students donned gay costumes (some thoughtfully starting with a layer of wool insulation), mounted their 39 floats, rode, blue but brave, from lower Main Street to the University campus. Fraternities, sororities, clubs and classes combined to emphasize this year's parade theme: "A Century of Service." In ways comic and serious, they reminded the Buffalo community of its University's growth. Norton Hall auditorium was jam-packed when the moving up ceremonies began. After the crowning of blonde and comely Bobbe Martin as May Queen, students applauded as their fellows received activities awards, parade prizes. Then followed the Queen's luncheon, a fashion show, an intrasquad football game introducing Coach Jim Peelle's 1946 club, a tea dance and another dance in the evening. �2 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO HOME GAMES IN STADIUM Winding up what Coach Jim Peelle described as "the best Spring drill we've ever had." the Varsity football club on Moving Up Day turned in suits, began to do some extra thinking about examinations. Sports fans were full of praise for the outfit, which played an intra-squad game, resulting in a 6-6 tie. Approximately 60 players took part—about the largest number Peelle has ever seen on Rotary Field. "We've had players returning—war veterans—from as far back as 19-40," he explained. "The boys have excellent spirit, and they're fighting for positions." There are hopes in the campus air these days, that Buffalo will pick up where it left off in 1942, when the team racked up 215 points to the opponents' 52. That year the Blue and White seemed to be on the way to regional big-sca!e competition. The war interfered. Eligible students left, and so did football. Adding fuel to followers' hopes was the announcement that the squad expects to play all home games on its nine-game schedule in Buffalo Civic Stadium. If the application now on file is approved by the Stadium Board, it will give players and spectators the thrill of seeing their colors on a big-time gridiron, instead of on the adequate but unspectacular campus playing field. The schedule: September 28, Moravan; October 5, RPI at Schenectady; October 12, Hobart at Geneva; October 19, Bucknell (Homecoming); October 26, Wayne; November 2, Bethany at Bethany, W. Va.; November 9, Alfred; November 16, Carnegie Tech at Pittsburgh. With the renascence of intercollegiate athletics, the Alumni Boosters were beginning to show signs of activity again, and word was going around that the Niagara Frontier Scholarship plan, approved by Uni' versity authorities before the war, will re ceive renewed support.

Loyalty Fund Chairman LaVerne H. Brucker, DDS '21, announces that the '46 Alumni Fund will be given to the University as a separate part of the Centennial Year drive. Of course, he points out, there are no restrictions on alumni who desire to give to the Centennial drive too, after making their contributions to the Loyalty Fund. PRINCIPALS ENTERTAINED The University was host to 150 Western New York high school principals and teachers at a lecture and tea in Lockwood Memorial Library last month. Prof. Harry W. Hepner of the Syracuse University Psychology Department, and Buffalo's Dr. Edward G. Schauroth, professor of classics, addressed this group.

And she was able to call every guest at the dinner by name*.

Epstein, just in time to make a short speech. - EDUCATION It was one of the quickest elections in history the of the Alumni in Education.

BOOSTERS RE-ORGANIZE A change in name and a reaffirmation of its devotion to varsity athletics marked the first step in the revival recently of the U. of B. Alumni Boosters. President Walter S. Behrens, DDS '30, has announced plans to call the group the U. of B. Boosters, thus opening membership to non-alumni. He is now hard at work on a membership campaign. With upwards of 100 members already on the books,the club plans an election at an early date. The Alumni Boosters were prominently identified with the Niagara Frontier Scholarship plan in pre-war days, which saw a gradual improvement in the calibre of Jim Peelle's football teams, resulting in the highly successful one of 1942. The new club intends to help the scholarship project again, and assist athletics in other ways. �4 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Dr. A.

Only 187 degrees, diplomas and certificates were awarded. But it was one of the most colorful, as its augumented faculty added a painter's chart of academic garb to those worn by the Council members and guests. That the current enormous university enrollments throughout the land are not temporary phenomena, but signs of an expanding movement toward higher education, was one of the major points in the main address, delivered by Dean John Dale Russell of the University of Chicago. Chancellor Capen made the presentations. In his opening remarks, he also indicated an expectation of continua lly increasing enrollments when he declared that "there seems to be little likelihood that so few will again present themselves for degrees at any annual Comnenrement for many years, perhaps ever." Still finishing its work was the Medical School's Class of 1946, which has been operating on a different schedule during the war. Graduation date: June ?.2. Speaker: Herbert A. Smith, MD '07 ; emeritus professor of surgery.

Commencing Sept. 24, hundreds of alumni, friends, students, facultymen and institutional representatives will participate in one or more of the events which will fill almost a daily schedule extending into October. The celebration has been going on since last University Day. Alumni organizations staged rousing meetings last spring. Students revived Moving Up Day with a Centennial theme. The Medical School threw open its doors to the public for a day. The Commencement in June marked the end of an academic year and the mid-point of a For guests at the Oct. 3 and 4 exercises, the program will be fairly full. Thursday, Oct. 3: Alumni and institutional delegates will register in Lockwood Memorial Library beginning at 9:30 A.M. The academic procession will form at 11 o'clock, and move to the quadrangle behind Crosby Hall. There, at 11:30, Chancellor Capen will preside at the Opening Convocation. GAB President Elmer J. Tropman, BA '32, MA '35, Soc '37, will present the memorial plaque bearing the names of the 63 alumni who died in service. The chancellor will give it into the custody of Gail C. Hotelling, student body president, for mounting in Norton Hall. A special section of seats will be reserved for the families of the Gold Star men. The assemblage will then move to the Engineering School building, which will be dedicated in simple ceremonies. A buffet luncheon for delegates will follow in Norton Hall, after which Chancellor Capen and Council President James McCormick Mitchell, LLB '97, will receive the official greetings of delegates. The Statler Hotel will be the scene of the civic banquet at 7:15 P.M. Speakers will be John Lord O'Brian, LLB '98, prominent legal and government figure; George W. Thorn, MD '29, Harvard Medical School professor and researcher, and Buffalo's Mayor Bernard J. Dowd, PhG '20. Mr. Mitchell will be toastmaster. President Tropman is general chairman. Friday, Oct. 4: All activities on this day will be in Kleinhans Music Hall. At the academic meeting, which starts at 10:30 A.M., speakers will be Chancellor Robert M. Hutchins of the University of Chicago; President Edmund E. Day of Cornell, and President Frank P. Graham of the University of North Carolina. Their general subject: "The Future of University Education." A buffet lunch will be served at 1:15. The Final Convocation will be at 4 P.M. The main address will be delivered by U. S. Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, chief prosecutor at the Nuernberg trials. Then, for the first time in decades, a group of distinguished guests will receive honorary centenary. As though to add to the birthyear atmosphere, a postwar boom broke Summer Session enrollment records, and campus registration for the fall semester will be well over 5000. Previous record high: 2600. Fighting a tight time schedule, the Centennial Committee has announced a series of meetings beginning in late September, to which alumni and fellow members of their respective callings are being invited. Outstanding is a group of three symposia sponsored by the Medical School, and running six days. Subjects: heart disease, cancer, body proteins. The Law School and its alumni will hold a symposium at which three outstanding legalists will speak. The Business Administration Alumni Association plans a welcome home to returning faculty members and a greeting to new ones. Alumni of the College of Arts and Sciences will hold a social evening. The big celebration comes October 3 and 4. There will be two public convocations, at one of which honorary degrees will be awarded; an academic meeting with three university presidents as speakers; a civic banquet and ball in which alumni will play the principal part. The program also includes dedication of the new Engineering School building, presentation of the alumni memorial plaque, a reception for official delegates. Concurrently, the Lockwood Memorial Library will hold an exhibit of University memorabilia covering the last 100 years. The observance does not end there. The Dental Alumni Association, unable to secure facilities for an earlier date, has scheduled its annual meeting for Oct. 8-10, and on Oct. 19, alumni will celebrate Home- CENTENARY CHAIRMAN For him, double problems. coming Day with a Bucknell-Buffalo football game and party. General chairman of the celebration committee is Myron S. Short, LLB '08. For him, this year has meant a double dose of centennial problems. In addition to directing the myriad activities connected with the University's observance, he is president of the Buffalo Savings Bank, which recently held a civic celebration commemorating its own 100th birthday. Alumni Will March Sixty-three delegates of all alumni divisional associations and branch clubs have received special invitations to the Centennial Celebration on Oct. 3 and 4. They have been invited to attend all public events on the program (see above), but a special arrangement has been necessary in connection with the academic processions at the two convocations. Because of limited space in Kleinhans Music Hall, only the regular delegates to the General Alumni Board (two from each divisional group, one from each branch club) will march in the closing exercises. Since the Opening Convocation will be held out-of-doors, three extra delegates from each divisional association have been invited to march with the distinguished guests, University Council and faculty. degrees.

Coach Jim Peelle un- covered the finest set of backs ever to wear the blue and white as the Bulls attacked by land and by air. The victory over RPI on Oct. 5 was slightly less impressive, but still satisfactory as the Bulls racked up 28 points to their opponents" 13. The third game, Oct. 12, resulted in another win, 20-7, over Hobart. Volunteer coaching help comes from Vito Grieco, Edß '39, most durable center in varsity grid annals, and Vince Bonerb, BS(Bus) '41, onetime triple-threat man. The Greek is assisting Febel with the line, while Bonerb is aiding Peelle with the backfield. New Sports Plan The University's athletics-physical education structure came in for some simplification a few weeks ago. From a complex system involving four interlocking major entities, the number has been reduced to two. Under the former plan, campus males got health services and physical training from the Department of Student Health and Physical Education for Men, while a similar department served the women. The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and Intramural Sports came under the faculty policy committee. Prospective gym teachers got their instruction under the professional program in physical education, an adjunct of the School of Education. The new plan leaves the'professional program in physical education about where it was, but puts everything else under a new faculty committee on the administrative direction of the Division of Student Health, Physical Education and Intercollegiate Athletics. The committee's title is the only cumbersome thing about the system. Emphasizing the co-operative nature of the plan is the fact that all students in the physical education curriculum will participate in intercollegiate or intramural sports as part of their degree program. Thirtyfive of this year's 80-man football squad are physical education majors. The curriculum is supervised by a committee of which Education Dean Leslie O. Cummings is chairman. Dr. Charles H. Keene, who recently vacated his administrative post as men's health and physical education chief, on reaching the 70-year ase limit, will teach in the {continued on page 8) October, No. 7 1946 THE CENTENARY IN REVIEW Opening Convocation Taking a long chance, the Centennial Committee scheduled the Opening Convocation outdoors, on Crosby Quadrangle. The weather couldn't have been better. A mellow October sun smiled benignly as the spectators craned their necks for a first glimpse of the academic procession. A gentle breeze ruffled the new banner bearing the legend, '"University of Buffalo,' 1846-1946." Then, from around the corner of Lockwood Memorial Library they came into view Grand Marshal Richard M. Drake, faculty and council, alumni delegates, 200 representatives of American and foreign universities, colleges and learned societies, finally Chancellor Capen and the speakers of the — day. Social Work's Dean Niles Carpenter, an Episcopal clergyman, pronounced the invocation. Then Chancellor Capen stepped to the microphone to perform his three-fold task: welcome the delegates, open the academic year 1946-47, start the celebration. He welcomed new students, asking their patience during the "formidable task of suddenly turning a small university into a large one." He traced the University's history. He reaffirmed its devotion to freedom Dl the mind, with all its precious prerogatives and grave responsibilities. Then GAB President Elmer J. Tropman, BA "32, MA '35, Soc '36, rose to pay homage to the University's war dead. "We know that these gallant men will endure forever in the memory of the loved ones they left behind," he said. "I say to those loved ones, many of whom are gathered with us today, that we shall never forget them either." As he read the list of 65 names, the solemn notes of "Taps" drifted across the campus. Then he tugged at a small American flag, revealing the Alumni Memorial Plaque, which he presented to Dr. Capen. The chancellor, in turn, presented it to Gail C. Hotelling, president of the Norton Union board of managers. It will hang in Norton Hall.

Short, LLB '08, introduced University Councilor Karr Parker. The two were leaders in raising funds for the structure, which will be ready for occupancy some time during this academic year. Representatives of Niagara Frontier engineering societies nodded with approval as Mr. Parker praised the University's foresight in undertaking the establishment of the school in anticipation of the demands of returning veterans and industrial needs of the area. The unfinished state of the building, he pointed out, is not the fault of the architects, engineers or contractors. "It is due to Government meddling with the labor and materials involved," he snapped. Mr. Parker presented the keys of the building to Engineering Dean Paul E. Mohn, who, pointing to the gaping entrance, emphasized the schools open door policy. There the meeting ended, and delegates hurried off to remove academic regalia, and assemble in Norton Hall for a private luncheon in their honor. Banquet and Ball The Statler ballroom was crowded. Committee members began to show signs of strain as more and more guests continued to arrive. Somehow they all got in, and settled down to eat a five-dollar meal, listen to an all-alumni battery of speakers, two of them Chancellor's Medalists. The list: John Lord O'Brian, LLB '98, former general counsel of the OPM and WPB; George W. Thorn, MD '29, physician-in-chief at Peter Bent Brigham Memorial Hospital, Boston, and Hersey professor of the theory and practice of physic at Harvard; Mayor Bernard J. Dowd, PhG '20; GAB President Elmer J. Tropman, BA '32, MA '35, Soc '37. Council President James McCormick Mitchell, LLB "97, was toastmaster. The burden of Dr. Thorn's address was the concepts of medical practice which characterized the profession during the University's first half- a plea for a return to some of century. "Today, important economic, social and environmental factors cannot be fully appreciated by the busy practitioner whose appointment schedule allows 15 to 30 minutes per patient. This situation is in contrast to that of the general practitioner of the last century who knew relatively less scientific medicine but a great deal more about the family relationships and economic problems of his patient. This deficiency in medical practice must be remedied by changes in our curriculum." He offered a seven-point program for improvement of medical practice. His suggestions included scholarships, shortening the over-all training period, adequate inpresent OF COLORFUL EVENTS struction in psychotherapy for general prac- titioners, use of vacation periods for learning more about human relations, publicly- financed practice in rural communities, public support of post-graduate instruction for all practicing physicians. Mr. O'Brian paid loving tribute to "three names which must never be forgotten in Buffalo" for contributions to the University's progress. "They are," he said, "Charles P. Norton, whose idealism and boundless energy spread the idea and aroused the community's interest; Walter P. Cooke, whose administrative gifts and civic patriotism made it possible to raise the later endowment funds and organize the University, and Chancellor Samuel P. Capen, the head of the University, whose wisdom and genius made it nationally known as a distinctive educational institution." President Tropman brought the audience to its feet with a tribute to Eli H. Long, MD '82, "because in his story are contained the stories of our graduates." Dr. Long, earliest living graduate, sat modestly among his fellow medical alumni. Officers of the University and of the General Alumni Board sat at the speakers' table. Academic Meeting Two disappointments failed to mar the academic meeting on the morning of the second day. Both Chancellor Robert M. Hutchins of the University of Chicago and President Frank P. Graham of the University of North Carolina were unable to speak because of illness. More than acceptable as substitutes were Dr, Georges Connes, dean of the faculty of letters, University of Dijon, France, and Dr. Raphael Demos, educational philosopher and Harvard professor. They joined with Cornell's President Edmund E. Day in a discussion of "The Future of University Education." Nuernberg Echoes Impressive as were the other ceremonies, Final Convocation most impressive of all. As in the Opening Convocation, gowned and hooded delegates, Council members, faculty and alumni marched in an academic procession which was a color photographer's dream. Listeners forgot their curiosity about the soon-to-be-announced honorary degree recipients as U. S. Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson delivered his first public utterance since the Nuernberg trial. Chief prosecutor of the Nazi war criminals, he made these principal points in his address: 1. War and dictatorship are so interrelated that "little progress can be made toward permanent peace without solving the spectators found the problem of protecting the elementary righ: s of minorities." 2. International law row "regards the citizen or official whr commits crimes against the peace and dignity of international society as answerable to it for the offense." 3. "Improvement through education offers the last clear chance of civilization to avoid catastrophe." Not for many decades has the University awarded honorary degrees. A long-standing precedent was broken when 11 distinguished guests of honor stepped forth to be attired in the purple hood of a doctor of laws, and thus, by adoption, become members of the alumni body. Each candidate was presented by a spoil sor from the faculty or Council, after which Chancellor Capen read a glowing citation, and conferred the degree. The list: Vannevar Bush, president of the Carnegie Institution of Washington; chairman of the Joint Research and Development Board of the War and Navy Departments; key figure in atomic research. Georges Connes, distinguished Fcencn educator; leader of the French Underground during World War 11. Edmund Ezra Day, president of Cornel! University; nationally-known economist and leading educator. Mildred McAfee Horton, president or Wellesley College; former head of the Waves; lieutenant commander in the Women's Reserve, USNR. Robert H. Jackson, associate justice o: the U. S. Supreme Court. Francis T. Spaulding, New York Statt Commissioner of Education; president of the University of the State of New York. Owen H. Wangensteen, surgeon-in-chief, University Hospital, University of Minnesota; co-editor of "Surgery." Robert C. Wallace, principal and vic= chancellor, Queen's University, Kingston, Ont.; chairman of the Ontario Research Commission; trustee of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. George H. Whipple, dean of the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry; a director and trustee cf the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research William C Williams, New Jersey physician, poet and author. Owen D. Young, lawyer; chairman of the board of the General Electric Co.; distinguished industrial and educational leader. Library Exhibit When they had time, University guests browsed among the memorabilia on display in Lockwood Memorial Library during th; Centennial Celebration. They revealed some highlights in 100 years of history. Among the exhibits were copies of the act passed by the N. Y. Legislature on May 11, 1846, incorporating the University.

Pictures of Chancellor Millard Fillmore and seven other founders also were on display. There were photographs, too, of the Sisters of Charity Hospital, where first clinical instruction was given, and the First Baptist Church, where lectures were first given. Featured was an account, published in a medical journal, of the senin medical circles when Dr. James Platt White introduced clinical midwifery for the first time in American educational history. There was also one of the first diplomas, written in Latin on parchment, signed by Millard Fillmore. An 1898 "Iris," (forerunner of the "Buffalonian") was open to view.

Centenary Booklet To every alumnus and many friends of the University, a few days before the Centennial ceremonies, went a magazine-sized brochure commemorating the anniversary. Published by the Bureau of Public Relations, it is entitled, "The Greater University of Buffalo." It reviews the University's history, notes its contributions to higher education and professional training, and demonstrates how each of its divisions was created to meet a specific demand from the constituency the University serves. The book is profusely illustrated with pictures ranging from the first building to the latest campus view. Aftermath Salaried employees and scores of volunteer workers were recovering this month from one of the most concentrated efforts in University history the celebration of its 100th Anniversary. To say that things were settling down to normal would be far from the truth, what with a record enrollment of 8,000, the strains of increased executive and teaching responsibilities, the necessity of utilizing every cubic inch of space available, and finding still more. But all concerned were breathing a little more easily, and looking back with satisfaction at a two-day observance which developed few hitches, evoked tributes on all sides. Delegates, many of whom had witnessed their own institutions' birthday parties, were unanimous in their praise of the impressiveness, elegance and finesse of the Buffalo ceremonies. Tn all committee chairmen a few days ago went this word of appreciation from — Myron S. Short, LLB 08, general chairman: "I want to thank you, and through you the members of your committee for the role you played in making the Centennial Cele- bration a success. I am sure that the time and effort we all put into the affair was decidedly worthwhile. The only compensation I can offer you is the satisfaction you ought to feel in the knowledge that it was a good job well done. "I shall never be able adequately to express my appreciation for your encouragement and support." These Honored Dead Enshrined in the hearts of teachers and fellow students are the memories of the 65 alumni who gave their lives in service during the war emergency. Pictures of most of them are shown on the adjoining page. Photographs of the others were not received in time for publication in the Bulletin. Reading from top ieft to right, they are: Lawrence I.

Murray, former assistant pastor of Buffalo's St. Francis de Sales Church, has been appointed full-time Catholic chaplain at the University. He will reside in quarters near the campus. Shortage of office space has necessitated sharing of the chaplain's office by representatives ef the three major faiths. Father Murray will take turns at the single desk with Rabbi Joshua O. Haberman of Temple Beth Zion. and the Rev. J. Jay Post of St. Mary"s-on-the-Hill Episcopal Church. �October, 1946 5 �Alumni Bulletin 6 ALUMNI Family Reunion It looked like a back-to-college movement when Business Administration alumni stormed the biggest lecture room in Crosby Hall one late September evening to welcome returning faculty members, greet old friends. Virtually every seat was occupied by the time Dr. Fritz Machlup, professor of economics, stood up to recount some of his experiences with the Office of Alien Property Custodian in Washington. "I expected to find government bad," he admitted, "but it was worse than I expected. On the other hand, it was not as bad as it might have been." Dr. Machlup predicted that labor shortage will be the nation's next big problem, especially in the producer-goods industries, where "we will desperately need more workers." He suggested that some unemployment in the non-durable goods industries might be helpful by releasing workers for other lines. Law Pane! Three distinguished members of the legal profession participated in a symposium sponsored by the Law School and the Law Alumni Association in the Twentieth Century Club Sept. 27. That a general extension of price controls after the scheduled liquidation of the OPA next June "would carry the government beyond the limits of effective legal action," was the thesis of David F. Cavers, Harvard professor and wartime OPA assistant gen- eral counsel. Mr. Cavers declared that general, direct price control is a dangerous remedy, which would "impair the operation of our pricing mechanism disastrously." He predicted that if the present wage stabilization program does not collapse this fall, it will automatically dissolve as price decontrol proceeds during the winter. Others on the program were Leon H. Keyserling, member of President Truman's three-man Economic Advisory Council, and Carl McFarland, chairman of the American Bar Association's section on administrative law. The meeting was arranged by Prof. Louis L. Jaffe and President LeGrand F. Kirk, LLB '25. Three hundred persons attended. Medical Symposium That the progressive medical man is never too busy to learn more about his profession was indicated by the flood of practitioners which engulfed Edmund Hayes Hall for three days and Kleinhans Music Hall for three more. Judging by the scores of comments, it was apparent that they got what they were after the latest news at first hand from national authorities. Three separate symposiums on bodv proteins, cancer and cardio-vascular disease — HONOR CENTENNIAL were sponsored by the Medical School as its contribution to the Centennial Celebration. Newspapers bulged for a week with accounts of the meetings, which featured star performers in the three fields. Headlines seldom tell a complete story, but a few samples selected by the Bulletin will give an idea of the scope of the papers. On body proteins: "Inadequate protein cuts child's growth." "Lack of acid slows human machine." "Complications attributed to protein lack." "Advice of doctor on diet is vital." Micrographs of cold virus shown doctors." On cancer: "Doctor discusses smoking as factor in cancer of lung." "Gastric cancer curable if recognized in time." "Value of atomics in cancer therapy remains question." "Exact cause of cancer still not known." "Physician urges increase in funds for research." "100% bottle feeding won't halt cancer transmission." On cardio-vascular disease: "Rest termed best single heart remedy." "Heart disease mortality cut by penicillin." "Use of less salt, fluids aids dropsy victims." "Public fight on rheumatic fever urged." "High blood pressure not too dangerous ' to aged." "Operation to cure blue babies' told at U. B. symposium." Direct to the public lap went one problem stemming from the meat shortage. The headline: "Black market slaughter curtails insulin supply." Dental Meeting The pent-up enthusiasm of the Dental Alumni Association, unable to meet for two years because of war restrictions, found release in a rousing three-day meeting in Hotel Statler this month. Hundreds of members crowded in to hear essayists, study exhibits, attend table clinics, pay homage to older colleagues and elect officers for 1946-47. New president of the association is John LYNCH, '20 D. Lynch, '20, Lackawanna, N. Y., practitioner. He succeeds Anthony S. Gugino, '22. Other officers chosen: vice president, Stuart W. Farmer, '33; treasurer, Samuel A. Gibson, '21; secretary, Myron A. Roberts, '30. Dr. Lynch also was elected to the General Alumni Board for a two-year term. Dr. Gugino has another year to serve on that body. A highlight of the meeting was a Luncheon at which Arch editor of the Chicago Tribune the principal speakers. The speakers' table lineup included many a sports notable from near and far. The hotel's Niagara Room was crowded to capacity for the annual dinner dance, a: which Charles A. Pankow, "05, was guest of honor. Frequent bursts of applause interrupted Toastmaster Gugino as he introduced graduates of the school's earliest classes. Oldest class represented was '94. Dr. J. Wright Beach took a bow for his classmates. Quarterbacks' Ward, sports was one of Washington Luncheon Members of the Washington Branch Club began post-war activities with a Centennial luncheon Sept. 21 in Bonat's Restaurant.

New Sports Plan {continued from page 1) professional program, retaining his full professorship. The many-syllabled faculty committee, which has charge of all other activities, is headed by Dr. Reginald H. Pegrum, chairman of the Geology Department. It will supervise athletic budgets, scheduling, eligibility, discipline and awards. It will control interschool, inter/class, interfraternity contests. It will watch over coaching activi- ties, control the health services and administer the "service" or non-professional physical education classes. As further evidence of co-operation between the two units, Football Coach Jim Peelle, who ranks as an associate professor, will teach physical education majors. A similar arrangement has been made with Line Coach Fritz Febel, who gains a fulltime post and the rank of assistant professor. Peelle continues as director of intercollegiate and intramural sports, and becomes acting director of student health and physical education for men. A newcomer is Malcolm S. Eiken, who becomes assistant professor of education, head basketball coach, and an assistant football coach in the guard section. These changes are in line with the University's policy of awarding academic rank and full-time employment to its teachercoaches. Eiken's appointment coincided with the resignation of Bobby Harrington, LLB '32, from the old part-time cage mentor's position. Harrington, a Buffalo lawyer, has accepted appointment as secretary of the Buffalo Hockey Club. Coach Eiken, a 32-year-old Minnesota athlete, began practice on the Buffalo campus in mid-October with a 110-man squad. Its quality at the moment is unknown. Homecoming Note the BULLETIN ■is Aslearned that goes to press, it the Home- waitresses at coming dinner made an extra charge, explaining chat it was "for the alumni." This is not so. The extra charge was due partly to the lifting of meat ceilings, partly to their misunderstanding of the fact that the management had agreed to share in the cost of mailing Homecoming notices.

A similar committee canvassed the situation last spring when enrollment was considerably smaller.

The new committee has been at work since before the opening of the current year. It is expected to make further recommendations for Council action.

A widely known philosopher, Dr. Kallen was one of the original members of the New School when it was organized in 1919. He is one of the proponents of "cultural a concept which pluralism" in America stands for complete denial of authoritarian ways of life. Speaking in Norton Hall on "The Problems of Freedom in a Modern World" he blamed the loss of industrial freedom as the cause of "economic rigor mortis." He pointed out that science, democracy, machine industry, peace, have their own individualities. But all, he pointed out, are sprung from a common impulsion freedom. In his second address in Grosvenor Library on "The Organization for Freedom," he based the world's hope for permanent peace on its ability to set up a democratic government of nations. To get American hillbillies, Chinese coolies and Russian peasants all thinking internationally, he recommended education, the spoken word, the picture and the written word. — — Where Are They Now?

PLEASE NOTIFY US OF OF ADDRESS CHANGE Grid Bulls Topple Unbeaten Alfred One of the most startling demonstrations of college hoopla ever to disturb Father Buffalo preceded the Homecoming game on Oct. 19. Wildly optimistic students put together a mile-long cavalcade of floats, balloons, ancient and modern vehicles, paraded from McKinley monument to the Civic Stadium. Signs loudly promised ignominious defeat to invading Bucknell. The visitors had other ideas. Ending a three-game losing streak, they set the Bulls back on their haunches, 21-0. No wake, however, was the Alumni Homecoming supper engineered by Roland A. Benzow, BA '33, LLB '37. Enthusiastic grads jammed into the Wurzburger-Hof ("in the shadow of the stadium"), spent hours at the loser's favorite pastime post mortems. Buffalo's second consecutive loss was recorded Oct. 26. when Wayne scored 25 to the Bulls' 20 in the third home game of the season. But the Peellemen journeyed to West Virginia Nov. 2 and broke out of the defeat column with £ 32-6 triumph over Bethany College. Buffalo fans had all fingers crossed when undefeated Alfred came to town on Nov. 8. Peelle's team, at physical and psychological peak, toppled the downstaters 20-12. — Taylor Caldwell Makes Aid Grant The writing of best sellers will be turned to the advantage of University students with the establishment of a $3000 scholarship by Mrs. Marcus Reback (Taylor Caldwell), Arts-ex '31- The award will be made on recommendation of instructors in Millard Fillmore College, and will provide $600 annually for study in the College of Arts and Sciences or the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.

Wins Lucky Football BUFFALO JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Buffalo, N. Y. 238 Main Street Those days when a "winning football" coveted by gridiron enthusiasts have come back. Thaddeus J. Borowiak, DDS '32, of Buffalo, is the proud owner of the pigskin used in the 1946 opener (Buffalo 40, Moravian 0). It was awarded during a membership drive conducted by the U. of B. Boosters, which now has 300 members. was VARSITY SPORTS LOOKING UP Best Grid Season Ever Nobody has to apologize for Buffalo's football team this year. Exceeding his own conservative predictions, Head Coach Jim Peelle saw his boys take seven out of nine games, rolling up a record season's score 224 points against their opponents' 83. He also saw Lou Corriere, best triplethreat halfback in the district, make the newsmen's all-Western New York college team, while sundry others landed on second or third teams or in the honorable mention column. And he was able to look ahead with good cheer to next season, with only one vacancy to be caused by graduation. Skeptics could hardly call it a come-back. Last previous series was played in 1942, before the war intervened. That year, with less material, the Bulls won six out of eight, scoring 215 to 52. Add them up, and it gives Buffalo 13 wins out of the last 17 games played, with 439 points to the opponents' 135. It averages out at a touchdown a quarter.

The basketball situation is different. Clark Memorial Gymnasium holds about 1500. If more than that number elect to attend one game, a considerable number can't get in. That goes for alumni and friends too. The policy makers have relieved some of the strain by contracting for four home games in Memorial Auditorium. The place is not available on the other scheduled dates. That leaves seven games to be played in Clark, unless a larger hall can be lined up. Even the auditorium games may put a strain on facilities. They'll be doubleheaders, in which Canisius College and the University will team up to play host to visiting aggregations. March 1 will see an all-Western New York lineup, when Canisius plays Niagara, and Buffalo plays Buffalo State Teachers College.

LAWYERS GET BEQUEST FOLDER A new folder, "Will Power Everlasting," this month was mailed to all graduates of the Law School. Prepared by the General Alumni Board's Bequest Committee, it calls attention to the opportunity for service which alumni with legal training can render in connection with giving to the University by will. Referring to the handsome bequests made by the University's benefactors in the past, the folder says, "For some of those bequests, the University can be grateful, in part at least, to its Law School alumni. They suggested the University when asked by puzzled clients for advice on educational benefactions. "This idea is the core of the Bequest Plan, an alumni project begun in 1940, in which every Law School graduate is enrolled. "Probably nobody can perform this deed of service better than a Law School alumnus, who thus builds both his client and himself into the golden future of an institution dedicated to the service of Buffalo and Western New York." The folder includes some forms of bequest, with suggested wording for a gift for unrestricted purposes, for unrestricted use of the residue of an estate, for a scholarship and for a memorial fund. The plan is employed at many leading universities. It was adopted by the GAB six years ago. General chairman of the project is George G. Davidson, Jr., LLB '97. Members of his executive committee are Morey C. Bartholomew, LLB '09; Charles Diebold, Jr., LLB '97; Lewis R. Gulick, LLB '05; Supreme Court Justice Samuel J. Harris, LLB '07, LLM '08; Dana B.

GREAT BOOKS COURSE Dr. Nathaniel Cantor, LLB '29, head of the Sociology Department, and Dr. Oscar A. Silverman, professor of English, will be leaders of an adult-reading project in Great Books, which begins in February at the Buffalo Public Library. The library is a co-sponsor of the course with the Grosvenor Library and the University. With the semi-final figures of the 1946 Alumni Fund comes the gratifying fact that while other fund raising programs all over the country fell behind their quotas, our University's Fund approximated last year's record. The Hundreds Club membership increased to 32 without any personal solicitation, the club being composed of those who give one or more hundreds of dollars during the Fund year. While the Class Agents in every division are to be congratulated on their splendid record in the face of unsettled business conditions, those in the Law, Medical, Education and Library Science groups should be especially pleased that their divisions topped last year's gifts. Many alumni who cannot give large gifts due to various circumstances do not yet realize that a gift of one dollar or a few dollars will place their names on the annual Honor Roll until the time when they are able to give more substantially. We are proud of our many dollar givers who reflect the true spirit of alumni support: regular giving in any amount. Praise from Pennsylvania Collegiate Registrars. Elevation: Of Dr. Herman J. P. Schubert to the directorship of the Veterans' Administration Testing and Guidance Center on the University campus. Dr. Schubert was counselor and assistant director under Dr. Edward S.

No. 10 1947 The medical symposia preceding the Centennial Celebration last fall received high praise in a recent issue of the Pennsylvania Medical Journal. A long editorial referred to the "excellence and practical value" of the papers presented, the "friendliness and good will" and the "well nigh flawless" arangements. "It is impossible," says the editorial, "to the conclusion that a university capable of conceiving and executing such an admirable event will continue its existence in like 'vein' and remain an adornment to higher education in America." escape Midnight on Dec. 31 meant retirement for two Buffalo veterans of the N. Y. State Supreme Court bench. They were Justices Alonzo G. Hinkley, LLB '98, on left and Almon W. Lytle, LLB '03, right. State law requires retirement on reaching age 70. STUDENT PHOTO CONTEST Student camera fans are polishing up their lenses in anticipation of a photo contest which will be held this winter under auspices of the General Alumni Board. The event is a project of the board's Committee on Activities, of which Mrs. Bertha Nax Hogue, BA '39, is chairman. Prizes will be donated by area photo supply dealers. DISCUSSES FAMOUS REFORMER Hugh Peters, famed preacher and reformer of 17th Century England and America, is the subject of a new issue of the University of Buffalo Studies. Author of the 71-page publication is J. Max Patrick, assistant professor of English. High in Medical Test Buffalo Medical School alumni and students scored the highest record in the U. S. in the examinations conducted by the National Board of Examiners last May. The report on results was published recently in The Diplomate, board publication. Of the 26 candidates who rated highest in the examinations, eight were from the University, while Tufts had four and Columbia three. FELLOWSHIP ESTABLISHED A fellowship in the Department of Chemistry has been established by the Niagara Sprayer & Chemical Division of the Food Machinery Co., Middleport. It will permit study of organic compounds. �2 Alumni Bulletin REPORT OF THE CHANCELLOR (Abstract) To tbe Council of the University of Buffalo: I have the honor to submit the report of the chancellor for the academic year 1945-46: The year under review has been dominated by two events: the influx of former members of the armed forces under Public Law No. 346, known as the G. I. Bill of Rights, and the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the University of Buffalo. RETURN OF THE VETERANS In the academic year 1944-45 the total number of veterans enrolled was exactly 100. This small sample enabled the University to test the validity of its preliminary arrangements and to make the necessary changes in them before it was called upon to deal with large numbers. The graduate professional schools have continued to adhere to the entrance dates established for the war period. The majority of the undergraduate schools, however, have permitted veterans to enter at intervals of approximately two months. By this policy no veteran has been kept waiting longer than a few weeks before he could resume his education. In order that these divisions might accept new students in mid-semester it became necessary to organize special short courses in several of the basic subjects, such as English and mathematics. These courses were generally of the refresher type. These provisions laid a heavy additional burden on certain officers of the University. The work of the Office of the Registrar and of the Personnel Office in particular was increased several fold. In spite of the efforts of the Council and the administration to meet the needs of these agencies for additional assistance, they continue to be undermanned and overtaxed. The instructors in those departments which developed short intensive courses for veterans also assumed an additional obligation beyond their normal teaching duties, and the extensive reorganization of the machinery of enrollment and instruction throughout the University entailed an enormous amount of committee service, a service which has continued throughout the year. In my report of a year ago I stated that no one could guess how many veterans—or, indeed, how many non-veteran students— would be in attendance in 1945-46. The budget adopted by the Council in June, 1945, was based on a conservative estimate of the enrollment in both categories of students. The new academic year had hardly begun, however, before it became apparent that the enrollment would be much greater than had been anticipated. As a result it became necessary to establish quotas for each of the subsequent registration dates of the second semester and of the Summer Session. Number of Veterans Enrolled The total number of veterans enrolled in all divisions of the University during the year 1945-46 was 2511. The largest concentration was in the College of Arts and Sciences which enrolled 894. For statistical purposes, all students of engineering have been classified as belonging to the College. Somewhat more than a third of the College's 894 veterans were engineers. The School of Business Administration enrolled 602 veterans. Millard Fillmore College enrolled 571- The School of Law enrolled 94. The veteran enrollments in the Schools of Dentistry and Medicine consisted of students who still were or had recently been members of the Army Specialized Training or the Navy V-12 programs, and amounted to 127 and 91 respectively. Total University Enrollment For the purpose of showing the relative magnitude of the veteran enrollment, I present at this point the figures showing the enrollment in all divisions of the University. The total enrollment was 7045. The total enrollment in the year 1944-45 was 4641. The increase was approximately 52 per cent. But an analysis of these figures is necessary to show the real size of the additional burden which the University undertook to carry and the peculiar incidence of these new responsibilities. Although the total enrollment increased only 52 per cent, the enrollment in the full time day divisions of the University increased 122 per cent. There were 3370 students registered in these divisions as against 1598 during the preceding year. Of these 3370 students 1941, or more than 57 per cent were veterans. Still more indicative of the type of problems which certain faculties had to face are the percentages of increase in four of the schools of the University. The registration in the College of Arts and Sciences increased 148 per cent, in the School of Pharmacy 149 per cent, in the School of Law 232 per cent, and in the School of Business Administration 395 per cent. Problems of Staffing In previous reports I have discussed the shortages of trained persons in various technological occupations and professions which have resulted from the Government's policy during the war years. In no other field have the effects of this policy been more painfully felt, in no other field has the policy produced a more serious handicap to the immediate future development of American efficiency, than in the teaching profession. The shortage of properly qualified teachers at all levels of education, public and private, has become a major national problem. Preparation for university teaching is a long process. This country now has to begin again, practically at scratch, to produce a new generation of young people who will be equipped to enter the profession of college teaching. There will be for several years to come a critical shortage of teachers for the universities of the land who will be properly prepared for their tasks. The officers of the University became aware early in the year under review that many new members would have to be added to the instructional staff. Deans and department heads began early in the fall of 1945 to locate possible candidates for appointment. The process of appointment has gone on uninterruptedly throughout the year. Many more instructors will have to be added. Comments on New Appointees A word is in order as to the character of this new instructional force and as to the sources that have been tapped to secure it. Young instructors of both sexes compose the vast majority of the new appointees. Many of them were, before appointment, graduate students whose graduate study had not been completed but who were willing to interrupt it to secure teaching experience. Many are veterans who have had teaching experience in Army or Navy training programs, or who have had technical assignments in the service which are judged to fit them for undergraduate instruction. Some are our own graduates whose qualifications are known to department heads and who are on their way to advanced degrees. Some are residents of Buffalo engaged in other professional pursuits who are willing to serve the University on a part time basis. In the main the University's need for additional teaching service has been met. A few departments have been obliged temporarily to carry overloads, but not for long. But, like every other institution, the University of Buffalo is faced with a responsibility which it has not had to assume in previous years. This large corps of young instructors, most of whom have not had full professional training, must receive more guidance from the older members of the staff than is commonly bestowed upon neophytes. Arrangements must be made for them to complete the training f^r their profession on something like an apprenticeship basis. All departments are alert to these obligations. It is still too early to appraise the total performance of the new recruits. For the most part it appears to have been surprisingly satisfactory. Veteran Admissions Policy Early in 1946 it became possible to form a rough estimate of the extent of the demand for higher educational opportunities which would be made on the University. It was, in fact, evident that the demand would be practically unlimited. In consequence, it was obvious that the University must decide how much it could enlarge its operations, and to what groups of persons it owed primary consideration. Basic to any decision was a calculation of the ultimate capacity of existing physical facilities. It was already known, as the result of the war experience, that the quarters of the Schools of �January. 3 1947 Medicine and Dentistry could accommodate few if any more students than the numbers presently in attendance. There were also definite and known limits to the size of the student body that the School of Law could serve in the buildings which it uses. But nobody knew the capacity of the campus plant; and the campus divisions were the ones which were receiving, and would continue to receive, the bulk of the applications for admission. A careful survey of the campus buildings was accordingly instituted. The results were surprising. It was found that if by accurate scheduling all campus classrooms and laboratories should be used throughout the day and into the early evening, and if additional laboratories should be equipped, the campus could accommodate approximately four times as many students as had ever been in attendance in any pre-war year. Governor's Conference The survey was hardly finished, when Gov. Dewey summoned the heads of all the col leges and universities of the state to Albany to consider with him and with the officers of the State Education Department the arrangements which would be necessary to accommodate the veteran and non-veteran students. The institutional representatives wete requested to revise their estimates of capacity upward, and to propose other devices by which all of those desiring higher education could obtain it. On the basis of the University of Buffalo's previous study of its own potential capacity, its representative had been able to report to the conference that it would guarantee to accept four times as many undergraduates as it had served before the war, and that it would place no upper limit on the number of part time evening students it would serve through Millard Fillmore College. As far as is known no other institution in the state agreed to increase its enrollment by so great a percentage. Geographical Boundaries The Governor's Conference made it clear to the officers of the University that, although the institution had embarked on an unprecedented program of expansion, it still could not take care of all those who would wish to enroll before the end of the current calendar year. Therefore, on the recommendation of the deans, the Committee on General Administration of the Council in March, 1946, approved the following policy governing the admission of new students for the remainder of the academic year and for the first semester of 1946-47. 1. The University should canvass the secondary schools of the Buffalo area for estimates of the number of high school graduates who would seek admission in the summer or fall of 1946, and should reserve places for this number. 2. The University should accept up to the limit of its capacity all qualified veterans resident in the Eighth Judicial District and in two counties outside the district which belong to the area which the University commonly serves. 3. Other veterans, of exceptionally high academic rating, not residents of this area may be accepted in numbers not to exceed -3 per cent of the total enrollment, if places remain after the groups mentioned in 1 and 2 have been taken care of. 4. The University should neither raise nor lower its customary entrance standards, but should apply them consistently as in the past. Preparations for 1946-47 In conformity with this policy, the registrar, the deans and faculties of the several divisions and the comptroller dealt with the problems of admission during the remainder of the year under review, and made preparations for the more difficult period which would begin in the fall of 1946. The capacity of the campus was assumed to be approximately 5000; and it was assumed that the capacity would be reached. Plans were made, (1) to move the psychology laboratories from Science Hall to the basement of Crosby Hall and to construct and equip new and enlarged facilities at that location, (2) to construct and equip new physics laboratories in the quarters vacated by psychology in Science Hall, (3) to construct and equip additional chemistry laboratories in Foster Hall, (4) to recondition half of the second floor of Edmund Hayes Hall and to install the Office of the Registrar there as soon as the Engineering Building is completed, (5) to equip the top floor of the Lockwood Memorial Library for reading room use. At the time of the writing of this report nearly all of these physical alterations had been completed. Throughout the spring and early summer the search for the additional faculty members who would be needed went forward. Faculty committees worked out problems of scheduling. The testing and guidance services ministered to the steadily rising flood of new applicants. In short, the campus divisions put themselves in position to meet the Oct. 1 deadline. Despite all that the officers of the University have been able to do, it is plain that some veterans resident in the territory which the University has set out to serve are going to be disappointed. The veterans' choices of courses and curricula probably cannot be met in all cases. Quality of Veteran Students Neither the Council nor the faculties have ever questioned the desirability of undertaking this extraordinary program of expansion, notwithstanding the difficulties it entails. It represents the least the University could do in partial payment of the debt which all its members owe to the former members of the armed forces of the United States. But in the beginning some had misgivings concerning the fitness of many veteran applicants for academic work. All such misgivings are now entirely dispelled. The testimony of instructors and advisers is unanimous—the same testimony is offered on every college campus—that never have they had to do with a body of students of equal ability and earnestness. The percentage of failures is much smaller than had been expected, smaller than in pre-war student bodies. The veterans have raised, not lowered, the intellectual level of the universities. Future Size of the University It seems certain that if additional numbers can be accommodated the enrollment will increase still further up to the year 1948. After that time many of the beneficiaries of the G. I. Bill of Rights will have finished their course and a decline will set in. It will probably accelerate through a period of two or three years until all of the veterans have gone. Then what? No one can now be sure. But it seems more than probable that the university population of the country will not again return to the level of 1939. The conclusion of government experts and others who have studied the question on a national scale is that university and college enrollments, after the veterans have passed, will be stabilized at a point not far below the peak of the years 1947-48. If this conclusion is accepted the University of Buffalo must adapt itself to a different conception of its size and character. It will have ceased to be a small university. It must face permanent administrative arrangements appropriate to a large institution. It must add substantially to its physical facilities. These questions deserve the early and earnest attention of the Council. They are already being studied by the deans and faculties. IMPROVEMENT OF SALARIES In 1932 and in 1933 the salaries of the full time teaching and administrative staffs suffered two reductions totalling 17-/^ per cent. The income of the University had at that time been sharply reduced as the result of the depression. In the spring of 1946 it appeared that the University could count for several years on both a stable and a large enrollment. The Committee on General Administration, therefore, authorized the chancellor to include in the budget estimates for the year 1946-47 provisions for both general and special increases. The general increases applied to all permanent full time members of the faculties of all divisions except the Medical School, which had already been dealt with. The budget containing these provisions was adopted by the Council on June 29, 1946. The following effects of this action are worth recording: 1. Higher minimum salaries were established for all ranks; minimums higher than those existing before 1932. 2. The salary of every individual who was a member of the teaching staff in 1932 was restored to at least the amount he received in that year. 3- Certain gross injustices which had resulted from the relative inflexibility of the old salary scale were corrected. THE NEW SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING A year ago the Council, acting through a special committee under the chairmanship of Mr. Myron S. Short, had raised from friends of the University funds for the erection of a laboratory building for mechanical engineering. It was already evident that more students would enroll both for the curriculum in mechanical engineering and for the curriculum in industrial technology than had originally been expected. These curricula were being administered in the College of Arts and Sciences. By January, 1946, the enrollment in this field already exceeded the estimate of at- �4 tendance for the academic year beginning in 1948. There were numerous difficulties in conducting so large an operation in professional education through the administrative machinery of the College of Arts and Sciences. In view of this situation the Committee on General Administration, acting for the Council, voted on Mar: 5, 1946, to establish a School of Engineering as a separate administrative unit of the University, and appointed Prof. Paul E. Mohn as the first dean. Subsequent events have proved that the action was both necessary and timely. New students have continued to pour in. Additions to the staff and equipment far more extensive than had been contemplated will be demanded. THE DIVISION OF STUDENT HEALTH, PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND ATHLETICS Having reached the age at which administrative officers must, under the Council's rules, relinquish their administrative posts Dr. Charles H. Keene gave up his duties as director of health and physical education for men in June, 1946, but will continue to serve as professor of hygiene in the School of Education. Previously Miss Helen Driver, who was on leave of absence from her post as director of health and physical education for women, resigned from the University. The division to which these officers had been attached is responsible for a variety of activities. Many of these activities were all but suspended during the war. With the return of peace, however, they have been restored and expanded. To meet the immediate administrative necessities, the chancellor, at the end of the year under review, appointed a faculty committee of five members to serve as the Committee on the Administrative Direction of the Division of Student Health, Physical Education and Intercollegiate Athletics. In addition to its directive responsibilities the committee has been charged with the duty of reporting a plan for the permanent conduct of the division. POSTGRADUATE COURSES IN THE PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS The return of the veterans has presented to the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry and Law a special problem which the undergraduate divisions have not had to meet. Many ex-service men and women have grown rusty in their professional specialties. Some also—and this applies particularly to medical graduates—had had their training curtailed by Army regulations. To put these veterans once more in touch with professional knowledge and techniques, to inform them of new advances, and to supplement inadequate wartime training, the University's older professional schools have organized a wide variety ofrefresher courses, institutes, internships and residencies. In making large provisions for interns and residents the affiliated hospitals have given extensive and generous assistance. ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES Only a handful of students attended the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences during the war years. The faculty of the school was also greatly reduced by the absence of many of its members on government service. Alumni Bulletin Because of these circumstances the Council requested Dr. Edward J. Moore, who had reached the age of retirement, to continue to occupy the deanship. This he consented to do at no small inconvenience to himself. The school is ten years old, and Dr. Moore has been its only dean. Under his direction—and until it was decimated by the war—it enjoyed a vigorous and essentially sound development. It became widely recognized for the high standard of its work leading to both the master's and doctor's degrees. With the restoration of its staff and the rapidly increasing demand for graduate instruction on the part of veterans and others, the school is now evidently on the eve of another period of substantial growth. At the end of the year under review Dr. Moore relinquished the deanship, and the Council appointed Dr. Julius W. Pratt, professor of American history and head of the Department of History and Government, to succeed him. Dr. Edward W. Koch, who had served the School of Medicine as dean for 16 years, died on Feb. 9, 1946. Assistant Dean Stockton Kimball was immediately designated acting dean by the committee on general administration. He served in that capacity until April 18, 1946, when he was appointed dean. At the end of the year under review Dr. Oliver P. Jones was appointed assistant dean. On Feb. 7, 1946 Mr. Ernest M. Brown, who had been on leave of absence from his post as professor of law since 1942 while serving with the U. S. Army, was appointed assistant dean of the School of Law. THE CENTENNIAL A year ago I reported that the Council had appointed Mr. Myron S. Short general chairman of the Centennial Celebration and that committees to take charge of the several activities planned were being organized. The committee structure was completed early in 1946.As this report is being written one of the most important committees, namely a Committee on a Centennial Fund, is in process of organization. Plans for the celebration were completed and approved by the Committee on General Administration early in 1946. Some of the projected events have already taken place. Others are to follow in the autumn of 1946 and the spring of 1947. The Centennial Fund The Centennial year runs from May 11, 1946 to May 11, 1947. Within that period the Council has proposed to conduct a general public appeal to friends of the University for gifts for both general and special purposes to enable the institution to enlarge and improve its service to this region and to the country. The dramatic change in the character of the University's responsibilities, brought about by its recent sudden growth, emphasizes its need of increased resources. In the years immediately ahead it is committed to an immense undertaking. It must offer educational opportunities in many fields to thousands of veterans. The quality of its offerings must not be inferior to those it has provided for many years for the young people of this region. To allow the quality to decline would be a sorry response to the sacrifices which the members of the armed forces have made in behalf of all American citizens. If it is to meet its new responsibilities in the manner in which it discharged those of an earlier day, and if it is to keep pace with the rapid advances in many branches of higher education, it must have a larger annual income derived from sources other than tuition fees, and it must have additional physical facilities. On Apr. 12, the chairman of the Council, speaking to the alumni of the School of Medicine, declared the Council's intention to seek funds during the Centennial year for these purposes: 1. For the improvement and extension of the clinical teaching service and the research activities of the School of Medicine. 2. For strengthening the general financial structure and for the endowment of professorships, to enable the University to meet the increasing cost of operations and to continue to offer education of the highest quality to the youth of Western New York. 3. For the development of the new School of Engineering. A more detailed statement of the manifold needs of the University will undoubtedly be presented to the citizens of the Niagara Frontier when subscriptions are solicited. But the most urgent needs are in fact subsumed under the three heads mentioned in the chairman's statement. Within the past 25 years the citizens of Buffalo have dealt most generously with the University which bears the city's name. The fruits of their generosity have been returned to the community in the form of an increased cultural development and in better and more extensive professional service from which all citizens have benefitted. The support of the University has, indeed, been proved to be a civic investment, an investment in Buffalo's future which should carry an irresistible appeal to every enlightened and public spirited resident. Respectfully submitted, Samuel P. Capen, Chancellor. Classes Hear Alden Fourteen members of the Law Class of 1910 held their 38th reunion during the Christmas holidays in the Buffalo Club. Attorney Christopher Baldy was elected president. Principal speaker was Dean Emeritus Carlos C. Alden. The Class of 1933 had Dr. Alden as guest of honor at a reunion in Lorenzo's Restaurant early in December. On the program also were District Attorney Wallace J. Stekel of Genesee County and City Judge Raymond J. Bartkowiak of Dunkirk. Both are members of the class. REUNION NOTICE Alumni are requested to notify the Alumni Office, Crosby 237, when class reunions are scheduled. This will facilitate co-ordination with other alumni events and insure advance notice in the BULLETIN. �January, 1947 5 REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER (Abstract) Tothe Council of the University of Buffalo, Buffalo, New York. Gentlemen: Theannual report of the comptroller and treasurer for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1946 is presented herewith. The Balance Sheet, Exhibit "A," shows total assets of $15,553,-989.91, distributed as follows: endowment assets, $6,891,422.23; plant assets, $7,518,093.88; and operating assets, $1,144,473.80. In the operating account, the amount of $331,330.91 under "accounts receivable" calls for comment. This amount is composed of several items due and owing to the University at June 30, 1946 from the Government for tuition and fees under the Veterans' Training Program. Under prevailing contracts with the Veterans' Administration it is not possible for the University to submit complete vouchers for instruction rendered until after the end of the term or semester. Therefore, while the University continues to train veterans in large numbers, there will always be a sizeable "accounts receivable" at the close of the fiscal year reflecting these unpaid accounts under the Veterans' Training Program. The Government's handling of these Veterans' vouchers, when rendered, however, is commendably prompt. The total value of land, buildings and equipment on June 30, 1946 was $7,237,001.51. In addition to the construction of the new Engineering Building, alterations of considerable proportions have been under way since early spring to accommodate the University's facilities to the unprecedented enrollment of this fall. A new laboratory for experimental psychology has been constructed in one wing of Crosby Hall. A small chemistry research laboratory in a wing of Foster Hall has been enlarged to provide chemistry laboratory space for student nurses. One wing of the third floor of Science Hall has been remodelled to provide an ample new physics laboratory. A large suite of rooms in Crosby Hall has been developed into a testing and guidance center for veterans. Three new offices for the School of Nursing have been constructed at one end of the auditorium of Townsend Hall and the remainder of the auditorium has been converted to use as a library for students in the School of Social Work, Millard Fillmore College and the School of Nursing. The small building at the rear of the Law School, formerly a student lounge, has been remodelled to provide auxiliary library facilities for the Law School. Much new scientific equipment and office and classroom furniture have been purchased. Every available space throughout the University is being utilized to accommodate the heavy enrollment. The following is a comparative table of the operating account of the Universty for the fiscal years 1943-44, 1944-45, and 1945-46: Income 1943-1944 1944-1945 1945-1946 $ 787,891.61 $ 854,672.39 $1,388,467.27 Fees Received from Students Income from Endowment 150,922.23 149,680.31 178,866.30 Dental Infirmary (Ner) 19,702.79 14,237.93 12,754.00 Rental Property Income 1,740.00 1,740.00 1,817.50 Miscellaneous 19,753.06 31,023.61 17,367.21 A.A.F. and A.S.T.

During the year 1944-45 fees received from students totalled $854,672.39; for the year 1945-46, $1,388,467.27. This increase directly reflects the greatly increased enrollment. Only in the Schools of Medicine and Dentistry, where physical capacity restricts expansion, did the enrollment remain at fairly normal levels. How long this unprecedented enrollment will continue is still a matter of conjecture. It may last only as long as the first impact of the operation of the Veterans' Training Program, and then taper off to more normal levels. On the other hand, it may mark the beginning of a new continued growth in the University. Overnight the University of Buffalo may have become a large university and what today seems to be an unusual enrollment mayprove to be the normal registration of tomorrow. It will call for judicious management on the part of the Council and the administrative officers of the University. The University must at all costs cooperate fully with the Government in its Veterans' Training Program. It must, likewise, accept as many civilian students from the Western New York area as our physical plant will admit. This calls for immediate and costly expansion of instructional staff and plant facilities and equipment. It will require the utmost caution to avoid expansion that may not be needed later and will require curtailment. The increased cost of instruction for the year covered by this report was only $113,004.69 greater than for the preceding year. The cost of instruction for the current year, however, will be substantially greater than for the year covered by this report. This increased cost will be due to the greatly increased teaching personnel throughout the campus divisions of the University and to the raising of salary levels throughout the University which became effective July 1, 1946. During fiscal 1945-46 United States, state and municipal government bonds, purchased by the University, yielded an average income of 2.11% on the actual investment; foreign government bonds, 5.01%; railroad bonds, 4.97%; public utility bonds, 4.57%; industrial bonds, 1.88%; stocks, excluding gifts, 5.36%. The average yield on all stocks and bonds purchased and owned by the University, and excluding gifts, was 3.99% for the year. The average yield was slightly higher than in the previous year, despite the continued low yield on the U. S. Governmentbonds in the portfolio. The market value on June 30, 1946 of the stocks and bonds in the University portfolio was 118.5% of their book value or $1,043,463.18 in excess of their book value. The new Engineering Building is nearing completion, despite many delays caused by strikes and critical shortages of building materials. The formal dedication of the building on Oct. 3 formed an impressive part of the Centennial Celebration on the campus. It is contemplated that the building and laboratory will be ready for occupancy by the second semester of the current academic year. The Treasurer's Office, in cooperation with Dean Paul E. Mohn and Prof. Frederick H. Thomas of the School of Engineering, has been actively engaged in securing from the War Assets Administration and the Surplus Commodities Corporation available equipment and supplies for use in the new laboratory. Many valuable pieces of equipment have been donated free of cost, except for packing and shipping charges from the depots where they have been located. Other pieces �6 Alumni Bulletin have been secured at substantial discounts. The University has also made application to the Federal Security Agency of the U. S. Office of Education for assistance in the provision of educational facilities as specified in Section 504, Title V of the Lanham Act, as amended. It based its justification of need on the necessity of providing additional educational facilities for the great number of veterans who have enrolled in the Engineering School. A finding of need has been made in the case of equipment for the Engineering Building and also in the case of equipment to expand the facilities of the present physics laboratory, and such finding of need has been transmitted to the division engineer of the Federal Works Agency. Through this agency, it is hoped the University will be able to secure considerable additional equipment and materials so essential if the University is to meet the greatly increased demands being made upon it by both Veterans and civilian students. TheAlumni Loyalty Fund is now in the fourth year of its existence and has once again maintained its fine record of giving to the needs of the University. Last year 1467 alumni contributed $14,825.90 to the Loyalty Fund. The Council and administrative officers of the University again wish to record their gratitude to the alumni for their generous contributions. Other gifts and bequests received during the year covered by this report include: estates of Edward B. Held and Frank C. B. Held, for the establishment of the Edward B. and Frank C. B. Held Fund, $54,275.99; estate of Charles Meyer, for the establishment of the Charles Meyer Psychology Fund, $11,071.32; James McCormick Mitchell, $10,000.00; C. L B. A. Pharmaceutical Products, Inc., for Medical Research, $4,250.00; Westbury Chemical Company, Inc., for University of Buffalo Exhibit"A'« ASSETS Medical Research, $3,500.00; Blood GroupingLaboratory Grant, for MedicalResearch, $2,500.00; Mead, Johnson and Company Grant, for Medical Research, $2,500.00; Research Corporation gift for research in chemistry, $2,500.00; estate of Evelyn Rumsey Cary, for addition to the Dr. Charles Cary Memorial Fund, $2,136.95; United CigarWhelan Drug Corporation, for scholarships in the School of Pharmacy, $2,000.00; estate of Pascal Pratt Jones, for the establishment of the C. Sumner Jones Library Fund in the School of Medicine, $1,250.00; American Foundation for Pharmaceutical Education, for scholarships in the School of Pharmacy, $1,000.00; Grant T. Fisher, for the Anatomy Department of the Medical School, $1,000.00; estate of Carolyn J. Clement, $1,000.00. It has been very gratifying to receive so manyfine gifts for research purposes. This has been one of the long-felt needs of the University, and such gifts permit the University to take its place among other institutions engaged in important pieces ofresearch. The University's increased enrollment and the consequent increase in fees derived from students only accentuates the University's faulty financial structure. Too large a percentage of its total income has always been derived from student fees and too small a percentage from income from endowment. The University's financial structure will never be thoroughly sound until these sources of income more nearly approach each other through the acquisition of additional and substantial endowment funds.

PLEASE NOTIFY US OF CHANGE OF ADDRESS Will Power Everlasting Fifteen hundred Law School alumni, under the chairmanship of George G. Davidson, Jr., LLB '97, are working as a Committee on Bequests for the improvement of University resources through giving by will. Many other alumni will be interested in knowing how they, too, can build themselves into their Alma Mater's future, under the Bequest Plan. Here are some simple explanations of the subject. The BULLETIN will carry other articles from time to time. Size: No bequest is too small. As little as $50 or $100 will buy books, equipment and other facilities for one of the libraries or departments. Larger amounts will, of course, accomplish larger purposes. The gift may be earmarked for such use, or left for the University Council to administer according to need. Kind: Practically any form of property, either real or personal, may be left to the University. No matter what form a bequest takes, it may carry the benefactor's name or any other designated by the donor. Type: There are several types of bequest. A few of them follow: 1. An outright unconditional gift to the University, to be used as the Council, in its best judgment, may decide. 2. An outright gift for specific purposes, which can be used only as the donor desires. 3. A bequest held by trustees other than the University (such as a trust institution) under whose management the gift is administered and the income transmitted to the University for general or specific use. - \U\W* *" Bertram Lemon ALUMNINEWS BREVITIES "05 LLB—Lewis R.

WILL POWER EVERLASTING II This is the second in a series of discussions of giving by will to the University of Buffalo, under the Bequest Plan headed by George G. Davidson, Jr., LLB '97. Legal Advice: In providing for the University by will, the testator should consult his lawyer. He is skilled in the legal safeguarding of the donor's wishes, and is familiar with the University's The first Class Agent to attain the goal of 100% response is Henry Adsit Bull, LLB '98, for the 1946 Alumni Loyalty Fund. This proud record was reached only through Mr. Bull's persistent efforts in contacting each member by mail and by telephone once, twice, and sometimes a third time to remind the classmate of the Alumni Loyalty Fund. He found that like most of our alumni, it was not a question of unwillingness, but of forgetfulness to send in a check. G. Thomas Ganim, BS '24, LLB '27, General Chairman, needs. Forms of Bequest: A direct gift to the University is the simplest form of bequest. Such a bequest may be either property, securities, a definite amount of money, or the residue of an estate after other beneficiaries have been tal-en care of. The donor may wish to make provision that the income of a bequest shall be paid to his wife or other rel atives during their lifetime, and that the principal be given to the University after their death. A trust fund may be established for this purpose, to be administered either by the University itself, by an individual, or by a trust institution. 1898 speaks for the entire Fund Committee in praising the sincere efforts of Class Agent Bull and the notable response of his Class. It is hoped that during the 1947 campaign other class agents will be able, through these same persistent but not arduous tactics, to point to more 100% results.

The University, which recently won nation-wide acclaim as it observed its Centennial, will launch its Centennial Fund on April 28—a campaign for $3,000,000 to enable the University to maintain its high standards and to satisfy the vital needs of tbe day. Francis A. Smith, banker and civic leader, is general chairman of the drive, which will appeal to the entire community of Buffalo and Western New York and to the whole body of United States alumni, 12,000 strong, throughout the world. Each division of the University will have a division in the campaign organization and each will be called upon to meet a specific quota. Said the chairman of the University Council James McCormick Mitchell, LLB '97: "The University has completed with distinction its first 100 years of service to the citizens of Buffalo and Western New York. Today, as it embarks upon its second century, the University is making every effort to accept and educate all the qualified students of this region. Its manifest obligation is to provide the program of training and research desired both by our young people and by the industries and the professions of this area. "The University's income from its endowment is not sufficient to meet the demands of this postwar period. It needs increased endowment, additional facilities, an enlarged staff. Therefore it must appeal to the community and to its alumni for support. "We have been very fortunate in receiving Mr. Smith's acceptance to serve as chairman of the campaign. He has had a long and successful experience in community affairs and civic causes. We feel certain all friends of the University will rally to his support in this great endeavor." While its goal will be somewhat smaller, the Centennial Fund Campaign will compare in intensity with the endowment drives of 1920 and 1929, in each of which more than $5,000,000 was raised. Subscriptions came from 24,000 persons in the first, 33,000 in the second. Walter P. Cooke was chairman of both campaigns. The Centennial Fund Campaign will be a two weeks' effort, ending on May 11, the University's 101st birthday. Alumni Given Great Responsibility Fellow Alumni: Our University soon will embark upon a campaign to raise $3,000,-000. This is the minimum amount the University must have to meet the vital needs of the day and to maintain its high standards. Every division of the University will benefit from this drive. I do not need to tell you of the standing of our Alma Mater in it home community and in the work at large. You know of the broac acclaim it received at the time of the Centennial observance last fall. We hope that the Centennial Fund wil be equally successful. The campaign will be dividec into two principal phases—the community of Buffalo and Western New York, and the University's alumni, wherever they are. As alumni, we are deeply indebted to this institution which has given us our higher education and professional training. Now, as it comes to a critical point in its life and needs our support, I am sure we all will demonstrate our gratitude and loyalty in a generous measure. The Centennial Fund, for us, will be joined with the Alumni Loyalty Fund. Contributors to the Centennial Fund will be listed simultaneously as contributors to the Alumni Loyalty Fund. With our help, the Centennial Fund can be an outstanding success. When you are called upon, I know you will answer with a resounding Yes! Cordially yours Elmer /. Tropman President, General Alumni Board. Mr. Smith was general chairman of the 1944 United War and Community Fund (now Community Chest) Campaign, which raised $2,640,843 in Buffalo and Erie County.

Bell, president of the Bell Aircraft Corporation. The Medal, provided for by the late Chancellor Charles P. Norton, is to personify civic patriotism and vivify public service. Mr. Bell is one of the nation's leaders in the aviation industry, has a world-wide reputation in the field of aeronautics for his dynamic and creative developments. His spectacular and sound record during the war is well known. Dr. Capen summarized the career of Mr. Bell and went on to say: "Th:s, in brief summary and without descriptive detail, is what has been accomplished under our very eyes in the short space of 12 years. It is, of course, an accomplishment to which thousands of hands and minds have contributed. "No one has been more insistent than our honored guest that his associates are equally responsible for it. But his associates will not accept th:s modest valuation. Without belittling their own part in the performance, they assert that his part has always been dominant and determinative. They know that his has been the imaginative decisions which have kept the organization in the forefront of aeronautical progress. "Tohis fellow townsmen he is not alone, or perhaps even primarily, the dynamic organizer and director of an immense industrial corporation. They think of him first as a citizen of Buffalo, an active partner in all common enterprises looking toward the city's improvement. But those who know him best like to think of him as a friend, helpful and understanding, of consistent and transparent integrity, unspoled by and unconscious of the personal prestige which is his by right of ach'evement. In their eyes these human qualities, quite as much as his international renown, justify the university in now awarding him its highest honor." The Commencement speaker was Dr. Harold Taylor, president of Sarah Lawrence College, Bronxville. His address on "Good, Evil and Education", pointed out that "the true role of the teacher is to be a center of moral energy from which knowledge is infused with its living meanings. If now we must choose, constantly and firmly, between good and evil, the task of modern education is to enable our youth to make wise choices. The whole structure of democracy depends upon the ability of its c'tizens to make such choices, to decide questions of urgency and importance by individual decision." Dr. Capen conferred 175 degrees and certificates to candidates in the fields of engineering, nursing, business administration, arts, education, pharmacy, social work, philosophy, and dental surgery. Chancellor Samuel P. Capen attended the recent meeting of the advisory committee of the American Institute of France in New York City. left to right, Dr. Harold Taylor, Dr. Capen, Lawrence D. Bell.

GEORGE W. GLEASNER The University's Problem Student tuition fees cannot possibly carry the cost of operating any university. The difference is derived from endowment, gifts from citizens, from industries and from alumni. Wellfinanced schools obtain about 50% of their operating income from endowment, 50% from student fees. The University of Buffalo obtains 80% from student fees, only 20% from endow- Chairman of the Education Division in the University's Centennial Fund is Miss Helen R. Cornell, senior instructor in communications skills at The New York State Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences. She received her master's degree in education from U B. in 1934, having previously graduated from Cornell. Miss Cornell formerly taught at Technical High School and Hutchinson-Central High School.

Hall, R.N., who heads the School of Nursing Division in the University's Centennial Fund devotes her entire time to work with professional nursing organizations, especially in nursing education. Miss Hall graduated from the old Buffalo Women's Hospital in 1907 and served as a nurse for many years. She now is retired. She is a director of The American Nurses Association and the American Will Power Everlasting (III) This is the third in a series of short articles on giving to the University of Buffalo by will and trust agreements. Trust Agreements: A trust agreement is really a signed contract between the donor and a trustee (such as a trust company or bank). It may provide for a principal sum to be held intact and the income only to be used for general or specific purposes by the University. A trust agreement may instead provide for income to be paid to the donor's wife or other relatives during their lifetime, and at their death to be applied for either specific or general University purposes. A trust may be changed the same as a will during the lifetime of the donor, if that power is specifically reserved. Since the end of the war, the demand for higher education has increased enormously. The University of Buffalo feels that it has a special obligation to accomodate all the qualified veterans and recent High-school graduates of this area who apply for its training. Up to this time, the University has accepted all the eligible applicants from the eight counties of Western New York. We know of no other community of comparable size where the local institution has so completely taken care of all those desiring and eligible to go to college. As a result, the University of Buffalo, which has a normal pre-war enrollment of approximately 1200 students in its campus divisions, ncv has 5000 students. (Its total pre-war enrollment averaged 4500; now it is over 9000.) Thus, it is no longer a small school. It is a big University and the indications are that, even after the influx of veterans passes its climax, the University will remain large. To take care of this enrollment, the University must have greater endowment and larger facilities. Journal of Nursing. Miss Hall is a past president of The New York State Nurses Association and of District I, New York State Nurses Association. This year she has served as chairman of Personnel Practices in District I, and has been a vital factor in helping to establish employment practices for professional registered nurses of the Buffalo area.

Kloepfer, widow of a former president of the Liberty Bank. WILL POWER EVERLASTING (IV) This is the fourth in a series on the subject of bequests and trusts, sponsor- ed by the Bequest Committee of the General Alumni Board. Life Insurance. While life insurance is not the same as giving by will, the intent and benefits are so similar that some reference to it is appropriate. Life insurance policies now in force having served their original purpose, such as the protection of a wife or children now deceased, may be made payable to the University or a trust institution for the University. The University may be named as a second or contingent beneficiary, in case the first-named beneficiary, such as wife or child, dies before the insured. If the donor wants to provide income from the policy for members of his family, he may also provide for the University to receive any balance remaining upon the death of those beneficiaries. In endowment policies taken for retirement purposes only, the University may be designated as beneficiary in case the insured dies before reaching the retirement age. It is important to remember that by life insurance, a benefactor can create a much larger estate than by any other method employing the same expenditure. �Alumni Bulletin 2 NORTON UNION GOES INTO BIG BUSINESS by Dorothy M.

By Dr. King King, MD 96, who devoted a great part of his life to the University and its alumni, gave final proof of his deep loyalty by bequeathing the greatest part of his estate to the University. Nearly a half million was given to his Alma Mater. To Lockwood Library goes his volume of "Pliny", first English edition published in 1639, and two oil paintings of which he was fond, "Aged Student" and "Old Books". To Milton E. Kahn, MD 25, BS (MD) 25, Dr. King left his valuable supply of radium. Dr. King was one of the founders of the General Alumni Board and served the alumni directly for 13 years, the University Council for 20 years. James E. WILL POWER EVERLASTING (V) This is the fifth and last of a series of articles on befriending the University by bequests and trusts. Prospective benefactors may secure advice and additional information from their own lawyers; the University comptroller, George D. Crofts, Townsend Hall; or any member of the Bequest Plan's executive committee, chairman George G. Davidson, Jr., LLB 97. The Alumni Fund: Many alumni already are giving to the University through the Alumni Loyalty Fund. Their names are listed in the annual Loyalty Fund Honor Roll. An alumnus may name the Loyalty Fund as a beneficiary in his will, by providing that the income from his gift shall be credited to the Fund each year. Thus he may insure a lasting memorial by an annual listing in perpetuity, in the Honor Roll. Estate Taxes: Governmental taxes on estates are now imposed at the highest rate in history. Bequests made to philanthropic institutions, however, ire deductible from such taxes. A donor may thus aid the University at a fraction of the net benefit to the University. Insurance benefits also are tax-free. Needs: Every alumnus is more or less familiar with the University's needs. They range all the way from books and minor equipment, through scholarships and research projects, to buildings and other major improvements. America's educational needs now are greater than ever before. By his own act of will, an alumnus may enroll himself among the University's great and small benefactors of the past, and erect a permanent memorial to himself that his name shall never be forgotten. Develop Two New Senses At the 101st annual commencement on June 4 Dr. Carter Davidson, Union College president, talked to 329 U.B. graduates. He pointed out that educated men must participate in life to the fullest and be on the alert to discern the truths from the untruths in today's highly confused world. He suggested the development of two more senses the sense of good taste and the sense of humor. — Great Invasion Chancellor Capen reviewed the Centennial Year with its many activities, memorable also because of the "great invasion; the returning service men and women who have jammed it (the University) to the doors. From a small university it was transformed within a few months into a large one. "That it has been able to effect this transformation with a minimum of friction and a maximum of cooperation and good will is due in no small part to the efforts of the members of the Class of 1947. They have seen to it that the essential spirit of the University, its ideals of intellectual freedom, of tolerance and of friendly association have been transmitted to their successors undiluted. As they now join the ranks of the alumni, that body will be fortified by the accession of men and women who have acquired new insight into the purposes and worth of their Alma Mater and who have an added appreciation of the privilege of belonging to its family." Assails Communism At the Baccalaureate exercises the previous Sunday, Dr. Capen discussed the evil philosophy of communism. He said it can best be combated by bringing it "into the open" because "like many another germ that flourishes in darkness, it cannot live when exposed to the sunlight". Actions by communists here and abroad "derive from a social philosophy so utterly antagonistic to that which we embrace that there can be no reconciliation between them. This is the central issue, and it is fundamentally a moral issue. At bottom it is whether the ideal of the truth shall still be allowed to prevail in the world as the monitor of the conduct of men and of nations." This is the last issue of the ALUMNI BULLETIN until Fall. None will be published during the Summer. The next issue will be sent to alumni and friends at the opening of the Fall semester. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Scofield, This year, with Jim Peele's heavier, longer trained team. Homecoming Game with Hobart should be a real eye-opener. This second post-war eleven is the oldest in the University's athletic history. The six-team squad averages 23.7 years of age and 188 pounds each. Eight of the new tackles average better than 215 pounds each. Alumni who watched last year's Homecoming game with Bucknells heavier team winning almost through sheer weight will rejoice in our new huskies. With only two players lost from last year's winning squad, and plenty of new material, our Buffalo Bulls are getting a real workout, and screening. Dr. Frederick J. Holl, BS 22, U.B. professor of chemistry and biology and No. 1 rooter for the team for the last 16 years, still has trouble remembering the names of our huge squad. Before the war he knew them all. U. B. BEATS NIAGARA After a lapse of 13 years, U. B. played Niagara on September 19 in the Civic Stadium, and won 27 to 14. A crowd of nearly 15, 000 watched the Bulls, powered by a crew of hard-running backs, out-play Niagara, the favored team. Jim Peele was his usual optimistic self before the game, but after the game he couldn't control his beams. Nor could the enthusiastic crowd of students and alumni who shouted themselves hoarse. — HOMECOMING DAY SCHEDULE October II U.B. Hobart Game Civic Stadium 2:15 P.M.

DENTAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION 45th Annual Meeting at Hotel Statler October 14-15-16 Special Clinics, Class Reunions, Dinner Dance �October, 3 1947 YOUR ALUMNI SET-UP At the request of several alumni, the U.B. alumni organization is being repeated below. There are 12,000 active graduates. In addition there are about 600 "lost" graduates who are constantly being traced; when their names are printed from time to time in the BULLETIN some are found. Many students have attended the University who did not receive a degree for various reasons, and they are U.B. alumni also. However, due to lack of facilities at present, their names are not included in the regular files unless they request it. set-up of ASSOCIATIONS Each division has an alumni association, as the Dental Alumni Association, Medical Alumni Association, Arts & Sciences Alumni Association, and so on. The alumni of each division are automatically members of their particular association, and receive notices and invitations to that effect. There is also the Alumnae Association including all women from every division. GENERAL ALUMNI BOARD The official body representing all the 12,000 alumni is called the General Alum- ni Board. It is made up of all alumni members of the University Council, all alumni who are deans at the University, and the mayor of Buffalo if he is an alumnus. In addition each divisional alumni association has two members elected to the Board. Also any branch club with elected officers and having at least 50 alumni living in the area covered by the club, may send one representative to the Board. There are established clubs in Jamestown, Niagara Falls, and so on, as well as new ones to be organized in the near future. The officers of the General Alumni Board are elected by the Board at the annual meeting in June. They are a president, five vicepresidents (in charge of activities, associations & clubs, bequests, funds, public relations), three advisors (always appointed from the alumni members of the Council by the Board president), and the immediate past president. The alumni secretary and the alumni fund secretary assist in carrying on the executive work. Any alumnus who so desires may have a copy of the By-Laws by writing to the Crosby Hall 237, Buffalo alumni office 14, N. Y. — GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS Fellowships for graduate study or research for 1948-49 ranging from $300 to $2500 are announced by the American Association of University Women, 1634 I Street, N.W., Washington 6, D. C. Applications for both national and international fellowships must be sent before December 15, 1947. For detailed information, write to the above address. Scholarships to the University from the Frank V. E. Bardol Fund have been awarded to 34 graduates of Buffalo and Western New York high schools. NEW ADMISSIONS PICTURE Today the universities of this country are facing the most difficult admission conditions in their history. The high level of national income, the free education given to veterans, the universal belief in the importance of higher education, have combined to produce three to twelve applications for every single opening in a class. The University of Buffalo has had this' vital problem multiplied by its number of divisions and the physical limitations in each. The oldest division is the School of Medicine. Not more than 70 entering students can be accepted each year, limited by laboratory and classroom facilities. This year there were 750 applications, not counting mere inquiries. The Medical School requires at least three years of pre-medical study in an accredited college, with a B average in college sciences. The admissions committee of five men has to consider each applicant who meets the requirements and screen them down to 70 students. Since the University serves the Western New York area primarily, geographic location enters into the picture. If the applicant is a relative of an alumnus, special consideration is given, but the applicant must meet the entrance requirements. Alumni are urged to make their children realize that good marks are essential. Many have the ability, but do not settle down to studying in time. If students were admitted with even slightly below average requirements, they might have to be flunked out in the first year. Their parents would be justly resentful towards a school which would admit them, knowing they might not be able to carry on to a degree. The next established division is the School of Pharmacy. Approximately 600 applied for entrance this year, only 100 of whom could be accommodated. Their acceptance is based on geographic location, order of application, and a scholastic average of 75 or better. Sons or daughters of alumni are given special consideration. The Law School can accommodate 150 entering students each year, based on the physical capacity of the School. Over 350 applied this year, and the three persons the admissions committee took into consideration their geographic location in a wide area around Buffalo including a corner of Pennsylvania, their scholastic average in two years of pre-law studies which should be a C or better, and their general personality and recommendations. Very special consideration was given to all close relatives of alumni who applied, and in nearly all cases they were admitted this year. The School of Dentistry had over 800 applications before last April for this on year's entering class of 63. Again the class size is limited by the physical capacity of the Dental School. The requirements are two years of pre-dental studies with a C average. Personality, character, and recommendations of teachers enter into consideration, and the admissions committee of five men had a real job on their hands to screen these applications. Special consideration is always given to close relatives of alumni, but as in the case of the Medical School, they must meet the entrance requirements so as to keep the splendid standards and reputation of the University at its present level. The average age of the present entering Dental Class is 26 years; almost all are veterans; almost all have scholastic standing way above average requirements; many are sons of alumni. The admissions committee urges Dental alumni to point out the necessity of high marks to their sons and daughters. The campus schools of Arts, Business, Education, and Engineering require a 75% average and, with the exception of Business Administration, a standing in the first 3/5 of their graduating high school class. Over 2650 applied for admittance in these four schools which could accept only 1200 altogether. Persons outside the Western New York area are required to have an 85% average in order to be considered. Sons and daughters of alumni are given special consideration in all these schools. Up to the present time the School of Nursing has been able to take care of all qualified applicants. Also the School of Social Work, a graduate, professional school with consequently high qualifications, has had room for all qualified persons who completed their applications. This year for the first time Townsend Hall on Niagara Square was opened for daytime students to accommodate some of the campus overflow applications. All in all the University is practically bursting at the seams to take care of as many students as possible. Classes go on from 8 in the morning until 10 at night, all available space is used including auditoriums, basements, and other formerly inconceivable spots. Last year the total registration was 9499, including Millard Fillmore College. At this writing, present registration figures are not completed for publication, but they will easily top last year's record. The University would like to serve sons and daughters of alumni. Application is welcomed from all who are interested. Early attention to getting good marks will be of great value under the present circumstances of a college-minded world. �Alumni Bulletin 4 ALUMNI NEWS ITEMS CLASSES 1895-1907 '95 MD Nelson G.

Dr. Edward S. Lodge, PhG 0-^.. of Los Angeles, writes: "The banquet and dance held at the Mark Hopkins Hote San Francisco, July 11th, were a huge success. There were 325 reservations made, and it was a very enthusiastic group of people that attended. Dr. Lodge "I congratulated Mr. Robert Sibley, Chairman, on his success, and his wife greeted me and said, 'You are from Buffalo; so am I. I attended Lafayette High School in Buffalo.' I informed her that I was in Buffalo when she probably was not around; that during the Pan American Exposition in 1901, I was attending the University of Buffalo. She then replied, 'Why that is the year I was born 1901'. So we had an opportunity to reminisce. "I also met and chatted with other representatives from the University of Minnesota, Northwestern University, DuBuque, Iowa, and down the line. "After shaking hands with Governor Warren and complimenting him on his interesting and impressive speech, I asked him to autograph the enclosed program and told him that I was sending it to Buffalo as a memento of a successful event. "Mrs. Lodge and I had a very enjoyable time, and I assure you that the occasion will be remembered for a long time. "With best wishes to you and the Alumni Board, I am Sincerely yours, Edward S. Lodge" ■ , — UNIVERSITY NEWS Dr. Glacier, Miss Rathmann The 100th anniversary of the American Medical Association was marked by a dinner given by the N. Y. State Nurses Association, District No. 1, for the Comitia Minora of the Medical Society of Erie County. Arthur F. Glaeser, MD 16, president of the 126-year old County Medical Society, was the principal speaker, and Florence M. Rathmann, BS(Nrs) 44, first vice president of the nurses association, was chairman of the birthday observance. MEDICAL CLASS OF 1905 HOLDS REUNION Out of 19 remaining members, 15 attended the annual dinner given last June 29 at the Buffalo Club. Officers elected were Dr. Edmund P. Reimann, president; Dr. Arthur C. Schaefer, vice president; Dr. Joseph Schweitzer, secretary-treasurer, and Dr. Joseph C. O'Gorman, head of the entertainment committee. ENGINEERING ADDITIONS The two wings for the Engineering Building are progressing rapidly. The extraordinary growth of the School has made it imperative to erect the wings at once, although last year it was believed that the center section would suffice for a while. Nearly 1100 students studied engineering last year, and an even larger number have enrolled this Fall. The East Wing is to be completed in October and the West Wing by late November. The entire structure is to be finished by next Spring. NEW MEDICAL SCHOOL Members of the medical faculty are discussing the problem of where to locate the new medical school. Their opinion is expected to assist a group of outside experts employed by the Council to survey the entire picture and recommend the best possible location. Under consideration are three sites: the North Main Street campus, near the Buffalo General Hospital, or near the Meyer Memorial Hospital. GRADUATE COURSES Several graduate courses in economics and business administration are being given, six of them offered for the first time. A discussion course in Great Books is being given for adults on Friday evenings in Crosby Hall, for better understanding of the world today. The 27th annual postgraduate course of the School of Medicine was held from September 8 to 20. The course combined clinical teaching with discussions and was held in the University and several hospitals. Nine states and 36 colleges were represented by the 73 physicians enrolled. FACULTY AUTHORS Among the writers on our faculty is Dr. John H. Talbott, professor of medicine and chief of medical service at Buffalo General Hospital, who has written a treatise on gout. People have laughed at this disease since before the days of the Roman Empire. Dr. Talbott says "The Roman Emperor Severus, who suffered from gout himself, had to issue a decree forbidding anyone to laugh at it." Dr. Talbott has a collection of more than 2000 books on this one subject. Today's treatment employs one of the drugs that was used in the 12th century colchicine plus adequate fluids, rest — and temperate — diet. Dr. Talbott is con- tinuing his research in cooperation with L. Maxwell Lockie, PhG 23, MD 29, Warren R. Montgomery, MD 40, George C. Brady, MD 39, MA 47, Bernard M. Norcross, MD 38, and Harold M. Robins, BA 32, MD 36. Dr. Willard H.

Every University alumnus may proudly note the splendid contributions of our alumni to the University so far this year. Due to the continuous efforts of the Centennial workers, plus the generous response of our alumni by mail, the pledges amount to well over $700,000. True, some of these are five-year pledges, but even with a rough division of five into that generous figure, it is easily seen that our annual contributions this year will rank with the largest college funds in the whole country. Only 23 colleges went over the $100,000 mark this past year, counting gifts from alumni only. Among them are: — — — — — 7,482 alumni gave $134,548 M.I.T. 10,009 alumni gave $165,273 12,530 alumni gave $283,086 Cornell Yale 15,681 gave $367,903 Dartmouth 13,215 gave $416,678 These colleges have class agents like ours, but their funds have been established Syracuse longer. Totals for the past year in the whole United States show that nearly $8,000,000 was given by more than 345,000 alumni to help their alma maters in this unprecedented expansion period. These alumni realize the great need to help the world and themselves through the growth of their colleges. These alumni own their colleges, share in their decisions, help shape their futures, even as each University of Buffalo alumnus may do. Each one of our more than 12,000 AMONG THE CAMPUS STUDENTS A new student weekly is being published on the campus, THE ARGUS. The staff o' the new paper has declared it will cover more of the events on the busy campus than THE BEE has been doing in the past two years. Along with the rest of this country's male population, U.B. men students have voted against long skirts. They even threaten to shorten their trousers in protest. At a national student conference held the University of Wisconsin, four U.B. delegates explained the Buffalo plan for definite representation of students in the University. The National Student Association adopted this plan in its constitution. One U.B. delegate, law student Leland N. Jones, was elected treasuier of the Association. alumni is a part of the great living endowment which is becoming a University tradition. The alumni gifts to the Centennial Drive are also a part of the annual Alumni Loyalty Fund for each year in which a payment is made. Class agents will recognize the Centennial pledges already made, and are eager to remind the rest of their classmates that there is still time to contribute to the 1947 Alumni Fund and be named with the Class in the Honor Roll which will contain all alumni who gave to the University this year.

Capen landed in Buffalo twenty-five yearsago last month, he knew what he was doing and what he was finding. He knew that he was taking a tremenduous personal risk; that challenge but added to the attraction of the job. He knew that the city was not university-minded, that a long, arduous process of educating the community would be necessary. He knew what he was finding—or rather, what he was not finding. He had seen the incipient campus—scores of acres of cabbages and weeds,crowned with some ugly stone buildings built in the dreadful eighties, the quarters (not the homes) of pathetic old people about to be dispossessed and naturally not happy over it. He had seen the four professional schools,each going its own way, its faculty and students coming into contact with the others only at commencement. He knew that there was a college which had graduated three classes,with a staff still half composed of part-time, though none the less devoted,teachers. Out of all this was to come, under his leadership, in an amazingly short time, a genuine university such as the most optimistic Buffalonianshad only dreamed of. A good many of us remember his inauguration. One of the reasons why it is remembered has nothing to do with his address or the daring, experimental policies which it proposed. It is concerned with the caliber of the delegates who attended. Somewho looked at the procession, the character of which was entirely new to Buffalo, were impressed by the pomp and circumstance of it as a show; but others went below the surface and asked "Why have these men, the educational leaders of this country and Canada,come to Buffalo?" Creditable,even glorious, as were the history and reputation of the professional schools,these men were not here to extol them but to express their confidencein a greater school,in a greater university, in a future more glorious than the past. Every university has a spirit, a genius, which is distinct from that of any other. It is not necessarily attached to a large or wealthy institution. For a university is any place where two or three are gathered together in the search for truth. This search for truth must have at least three characteristics: it must be fearless,it must be individualistic, it must be imaginative. I omit the obvious scientificapproach, because that underlies all the other three. The service which Dr. Capen has rendered to this university and this community which transcends all others is his defenceof each man's right to seek the truth, and to publish his findings, in his own way. For this he has been as savagely criticised as he has been ardently defended. The fight is eternal. But nothing else is to a faculty, and even in their nothing will remain longer way to students,more important; in their memories of his influence. For better or for worse, an American university head occupies a position of enormous power and responsibility, unparalleled abroad. The newspapers a few weeks ago recounted fully the material expansion of the University during the last twenty-five years. The credit given Dr. Capen belongs only in no one else to take it; part to him. But just as obviously there is genuine; but no one wants to, no one can. His modesty is Invariably he some things which strain it he cannot avoid. and colleagues looks upon the faculty as pays the greatest respect to their opinions. Complete democracy prevails. He never expresses himself in faculty meetings for fear of unduly influencing the vote; but if pressed to do so, he sums up the and argument and in a few minutes gives it both cogency direction. He has a rare sense of humor, though he is no storyteller. He can be very stubborn, or, if you prefer, persistent. Even though the material advantage of the University may point otherwise, he holds out unswervingly against arbitrary or unintelligent control of educational policies by outside influences, no matter how important, whether the State of New York, the great foundations, or accrediting professional organizations. If sane but courageousexperimentation is the law of educational development, the many significant experiments which have been initiated under his leadership have constituted permanent landmarks on the path of progressin many universities beside this. Surprisingly little toll have the years taken outwardly of him. He has had more than his share of ill health, but few would guessit. How he finds time to "run" a university and also to do the other things that are thrust upon him; to keep steady his friendships, in and out of the University; to write the speeches and citations which are models of fastidious clarity and felicitous thought; to read the things which he reads and digests; to be genuinely, not perfunctorily, a partaker, and in many a leader, of all good causes and worthy objects in the community—these are questions to which there is no answer. But there is no question in the minds of the University "family" that with affectionategratitude they wish him the health and happiness which he has so richly earned.

SPORTS SUMMARY By CY KRITZER Opening the season with a 27-to-l4 victory over Niagara before more than 14,000 in Civic Stadium on the night of Sept. 19, the University of Buffalo football team thundered along to nine straight triumphs before being stopped in the sixth game of the campaign by Wayne University at Detroit, 33 to 12. The streak was the longest in modern grid annals of the university and included four straight wins in the last half of the 1946 season. The Bulls reached their peak in the Niagara game and staged terrific scoring shows in thrashing Alfred, 40 to 7; Hobart, 54 to 9 and Bethany, 50 to 6 to maintain a three-year average of four touchdowns a game. They also beat Moravian 7-0, R. P. I. 14-7, St. Lawrence 40-7, Bucknell 14-6. A record squad of 81 men reported on Aug. 19 to Head Coach Jim Peele and his assistants,Lome Weekes,Fritz Febel, Sid Snyder, Vito Grieco and Danny Dalfonso, and this number was reduced to six teams before the season began. The Bulls were fortunate in escaping an injury epidemic such as plagued the team in 1946 in their two losses,to Wayne and Bucknell. Unfortunately, Lou Corriere again was lost for the Wayne game as he was for the two big games of the year before, and the Bulls missed him when he was needed the most. Lockport Lou, a whiz at returning punts, open-field running and on pass defense,came off the casualty list for the final gameagainst Bucknell. Contracts with Wayne and Moravian were not renewed for 1948 as Athletic Director Jim Peelle, supported by the faculty committee on athletics, laid designs for a bigger and more attractive schedule. CLASS REUNIONS The Medical Class of 1905 had a two day reunion as guests of Dr. E. Carlton Foster at Perm Van on Lake Keuka. They made a tour of the Foster-Hatch Medical Clinic, the country estate of John A. Hatch, MD 19, and the Hammondsport Wineries. The Classalso enjoyed a boat ride and dinners at the hotel. The Law Classof 1910 had their 37th annual reunion on October 10 at the Cherry Hill Country Club. Frank A.

THE CENTENNIAL EVENTS A brief listing of the events of the Centennialyear may be appropriate for the record,and to show the range of the University's anniversary contributions to the examination of vital problems in the fieldsof education,science and public affairs. May 11, 1946. This was the one hundreth anniversary of the granting of the University's charter by the Legislature of the Stateof New York. It was celebrated at the School of Medicine (the original unit of the University) by an historical address delivered by Dr. Nelson G. Russell and by exhibitions of scientific work in progress. May 15, 1946. The Schoolof Nursing held a symposium in the Kleinhans Music Hall. June 7 and 8, 1946. The Department of Chemistry conducted a technical Symposium on Plasticizers. September 27, 1946. The Schoolof Law presented a public discussion of the relations of government and labor. September 25-October 2, 1946. The Schoolof Medicine conducted three symposia in the Kleinhans Music Hall. The meetings were attended by more than 1000 physicians from widely scattered sections. October3 and 4, 1946. The general CentennialCelebrationwas held with meetings on the campus, in the StatlerHotel, and in the Kleinhans Music Hall. Associate Justice Robert H. Jackson of the United StatesSupreme Court delivered the Final Convocation Address on the Nuremberg Trial and Our Changing Concept of War. October8-10, 1946. A symposium on current problems in dentistry was conducted by the Alumni Association of the School of Dentistry. October28 and 29, 1946. A series of public discussions of the Problems of Freedom were held under the direction of the Departments of History and Government,Sociology, Economics, Psychology and Philosophy. April 28 to May 11, 1947. A CentennialFund Campaign was conducted under the direction of a committee,of which Mr. Francis A. Smith, Vice President of the Marine Trust Company, was Chairman. THE CENTENNIAL FUND CAMPAIGN The Council had earlier announced that it would on this occasion seek to raise 33,000,000for general and specific purposes. The goal was not reached. In view of the handicaps which Mr. Smith and his associates faced, few expected that it would be reached. When the campaign closed a total of $1,560,000 had been subscribed. Since that date additional subscriptions have been received which bring the total to $1,635,195.00. The promise of many industrial firms and individuals to make subscriptions before the end of the calendar year 1947 should, when fulfilled, increase the total amount to somewhere near $2,000,000. Subscriptions were made by more than 8,000 firms and individuals. COMPLETION OF THE ENGINEERING BUILDING The most urgent need at the end of the year under review was undoubtedly the provision of more classroom and laboratory space for the new Schoolof Engineering. The central section of the Engineering Building, which was dedicated on October3, 1946,was designed to accommodate a student population of some 450. Actually the Schoolhas enrolled 1125 students during the academic year 1946-47,most of them former members of the armed forcesof the United States. The instruction of these students has been carried on under conditions so unfavorablethat the University was obligated to remedy them without delay. Two wings are being built, and it is expected that the whole building will be completed in the Spring of 1948. Donors to the CentennialFund who did not specify how their contributions should be expended and those who contributed specifically to the Engineering Schoolmay have the satisfying consciousness that their subscriptions have made it possible for the University to improve without delay its services to the immense body of undergraduates who receive their instruction on the campus. GROWTH OF THE UNIVERSITY Enrollment The total enrollment of the University during the year under review was 11,554. This figure included the students enrolled in the SummerSessionof 1946 and in Millard Fillmore College. Not all of the 11,554were in residence at any one time. The actual carrying load throughout most of the year was between 9,000 and 9,500 students. The enrollment in the full-time day divisions was 6,209. Total enrollment was approximately 65% greater than that of the preceding year. The increase in the enrollment of the full-time divisions was almost 85%. Just to accept students and to assemble them in classrooms is, of course, not enough. It is obvious that an attempt to fit nearly 5000 students into a physical plant built for the use of not more than 2000 must produce uncomfortablecrowding. Everyone has shared in the discomforts. Faculty members have had to put up with totally inadequate office space; inadequate for conferences with students and inadequate for the study and preparation which are essential parts of everyteacher's work. Laboratories have been in continuous operation, with no time allowed for proper rearrangement and replacement of working materials. Seminarrooms for the use of advanced undergraduate and graduate students have had to be surrendered for classroom and library purposes. Courses have had to be scheduled from early morning on into the evening, to the great inconvenience of some students and instructors. Because of the shortage of small classrooms many courses have had to be conducted as large lecture courses meeting in auditoriums. The advisement services of the Personnel Officehave been severely handicapped by lack of appropriate rooms for student counseling. The Library has been taxed to the limit to provide the necessary minimum of reading room and study facilities. Norton Hall, which formerly furnishedample quarters for cafeteriaservice and for the recreational activities of students,has been in both its departments almost unbearably congested. And everywhere and all the time those whose work is on the campus have moved in the midst of crowds; crowds on the walks, in the corridors,in every room devoted to whatever purpose. It cannot be denied that this degree of crowding affectsadversely the educational offerings of the campus divisions. The University of Buffalohas made almost a cult of individual guidance and the encouragement of independent study. The tutorial plan of instruction for upper classmen in the College of Arts and Sciences makes large demands for space and claims,as well, much of the time of the most experienced teachers. The plan has already been impaired and must be still more seriously impaired as the present multitude of freshmenand sophomores moves into the junior and senior years; unless conditions can by then be remedied. But whether or not an institution conducts tutorial instruction,it is a demonstrated fact that in most fields of study small classes in which all members actively participate and in which intimacy between students and instructors is easily established are more effective than large classes. The effectiveness of graduate instruction of which the University is annually called upon to offer increasing amounts, depends especially on small group meetings and intimate personal contact. The University still conducts many small classes, but it has been obliged to organize too many large ones. However,the greatest handicap imposed by present physical conditions is undoubtedly the reduced opportunity for privacy. Study is a very private business. It demands a certain isolation and a certain amount of elbow room. The difficulty of securing the necessary isolation and the required elbow room has borne heavily on students and faculty alike. No one knows exactly how long the period of swollen enrollments consisting chiefly of returned veterans will continue. The Council has taken the �January, 1948 3 position—in which the administrative officershave heartily concurred —that the University must be cautious in adding to its permanent instructional force. It must not make commitments which it cannot be sure of fulfilling when and if the student body sharply declines in size. In the main the deans and department heads have consistently sought to carrythe increased teaching loads of their respective units by adding chiefly temporary appointees. The senior teachers of the campus divisions have thus not only had to adapt themselves to the necessity of furnishing mass education in surroundings made unfamiliar by crowding; they have also been obliged to carry on this new and difficult experiment with the aid of many young colleagues whose status is in effect that of professional apprentices. The additional burden laid upon the older staff members and especially on department heads has been considerable. Many professors have been called upon to organize and supervise the work of groupsof new appointees as well as to conduct the more advanced courses of their respective departments. They have,indeed, functionedpartly as teachers of teachers. The foregoing statements certainly imply that the educational opportunities which the undergraduate divisions now offer are not equal to those provided when the campus schools were smaller and more stable. Nevertheless,I am not prepared to admit that a general decline in quality has as yet resulted from the altered conditions. The handicaps have been offset, perhaps more than offset, by a number of unlooked for benefitswhich seem to have been in part the product of the very diffiiculties that confronted both students and teachers. These maybe verybriefly summarized. First, there has been an all-pervading atmosphere of good will. Studentsand faculty alike have accepted the inconveniences without resentment or complaint. They appear to have been generally animated by an intense desire to make things work. Most students have realized that to have found a place this yearin one of the stronger universities of the Stateis in itself a piece of good fortune. Most of the older teachers have been stimulated by the challenge presented to them to prove once more the adaptability of the University. The intellectual tempo of the campus has not slowed; it has accelerated. For this the veteran students are mainly responsible. Almost universallythey are serious and mature, determined to make up for lost time, determined to improve to the utmost this belated opportunity to complete their formal education. The percentage of academic failures is far smaller than in prewar years. The standards of classroom performance have, in fact, risen markedly. Despite the obstacles imposed by the process of reorganization, many members of the faculty have been able to take up again private research projects which the abnormal pressure of the war yearsforcedthem to lay aside. And not the least of the unlooked for assets of the year has been the performance of the large group of faculty novices. Many have disclosed outstanding talent in the classroom which more than compensates for lack of experience. Naturally there have been some misfits, but as a whole these young instructors have approached their tasks with a sincerity and an enthusiasm which have commended them both to the students whose work they have directed and to their older colleagues. I have commented previously on the fact that the University of Buffalo is more fortunately situated than many universities whenever it becomes recruit additional teachers on short notice. The business and industrial activities of the Niagara Frontier embrace an exceptionally wide range of professional ochas carried a special appeal and cupations. The present emergency a substantial percentage of the new appointees has consisted of these experienced persons who have welcomed the chance to give a portion of their time to help the University to fulfill its obligation to the veteran students. Their services have strengthened the work of many departments; and are here gratefully acknecessary to nowledged. FUTURE SIZE OF THE UNIVERSITY Authorities now advance the date of the peak load of the higher institutions to sometime either in the academic year 1948-49 or the following year,and predict only a slight decline for the first few years thereafter. They further estimate that, when all the beneficiaries of the G. I. Bill of Rights have completed their training, the enrollment of the nation's higher schools will be much the peak of 1949 than to the prewar enrollment. Even if these predictions should prove to be not wholly reliable,it seems certain that the University of Buffalo must face the prospect of nearer to remaining a large university. Building Needs I am convinced that the Councilshould address itself seriously to the further expansion of the University's physical facilities. The need for such expansion is pressing at all the locations from which the University operates. Sincethe preceding section of this has dealt chiefly with the campus schools,it may be appropriate to note their needs first. The campus divisions need now at least one general utility building of a capacity as great as that of Crosby Hall. Sucha building should furnish space especially for classrooms, offices,seminar rooms, and possibly reading rooms to relieve the present pressure on most of the existing campus structures. If it is not possible to find funds for the erection of a permanent building of the kind indicated,I believe the Council should contemplate the erection of a temporary structure. The Schoolsof Medicine and Dentistry have long been in need of new and enlarged quarters. The need was emphasized during the Centennial Fund Campaign and manygifts were made specifically to assist the University to house these two divisions adequately. I urge that steps be taken at once to realize this long jjostponed report project. For many years the Council has been calling the attention of prospective donors to the desirability of replacing Townsend Hall by a new and very much larger building, to be located on the same site, designed to house the Treasurer's Office, the School of Law, and the headquarters of Millard Fillmore College. This project has ceased to be merely desirable. Relieffrom conditions of almost intolerable congestion has become for all three of these units of the University a crying necessity. Townsend Hall has undergone every conceivable kind of internal reconstruction to adapt it to the purposes of the Treasurer's department and to the officeand classroom requirements of Millard Fillmore College and the Schoolsof SocialWork and Nursing; and now in addition the Schoolof Law must make use of its larger lecture rooms to supplement the insufficient accomodations of the Law School Building. The School of Law, moreover-, is in one direction permanently handicappedas long as its principal services are confined to its present quarters. There is no further room for the expansion of the law library, which must increase at the rate of some 800 volumes a year or cease to be an efficient working instrument for students and faculty. Failing the availability of funds to replace Townsend Hall— and they are not now available—l am not prepared to recommend the best solution of the problems faced by these downtown divisions. Possibly an addition to the Law SchoolBuilding could be erected,although I doubt whether the Council would care to prolong the life of this obsolescent buildingby investing much more money in it. Possibly temporary relief can be procured by renting space in nearby buildings, if such space can be found. The question is one that deserves early study by the Committee on Buildings and Groundsin consultation with the officers of the services concerned. The University's Responsibility to the Veterans Administration There are four different phases of the University's dealings with the Veterans Administration,each entailing contact with a separate division of that agency. They are contract, registration, training, and finance. A separate contract is written for each veteran specifying in detail the service which the University will later bill the Government.The University must not only register the veteran on entrance in accordance with a particular form, but it must also check on his attendance and success and make periodic reports to the Veterans Administration. At the end of each term, when the training officersare satisfiedthat the veteran has received the service contracted for, the University must prepare and submit to th Veterans Administration vouchers covering its charges. It will be apparent that with more than 6000 veterans enrolled, the conduct of the University's business with the Veterans Administration is inevitably a large and complex operation. I may say in passing that our relations with the Veterans Administration have been cordial and highly satisfactory—we hope mutually satisfactory. �Alumni Bulletin 4 OTHER EVENTS OF THE YEAR Administrative Changes Acting Dean Philip Halpern of the Schoolof Law was designated Dean of the Schoolin October 1946. Dr. Ralph C. Epstein, Dean of the Schoolof Business Administration, resigned the deanship in March 1947. He will continue to serve the University as Professorand Head of the Department of Economics. Dr. Harold M. Somers, Professorof Economics,was appointed Dean of the Schoolof Business Administration in June 1947. ProfessorErnest M. Brown resigned as Assistant Dean of the Schoolof Law and severed his connection with the School in August 1946. Dr. Louis L. Jaffe, Professorof Law, was appointed Assistant Dean of the Schoolof Law in October1946. Mr. Merton W. Ertell, Lecturer in Statisticsand Acting Chairman of the Department of Statistics,was appointed Acting Assistant Dean of the Schoolof Business Administration in January 1947. Mr. Charles M. Fogel, Associate Professorof Engineering, was appointed Assistant Dean of the Schoolof Engineering in June 1947. Dr. Richard M. Drake, Professorof Education in the Schoolof Education and the Coliege of Arts and Sciences,was appointed in June 1947. Assistant Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Miss Jeannette F. Martin was appointed Administrative Assistant in the Officeof the Chancellorin July 1946. Retirement Allowances In my last report I noted the appointment of a special committee of the Council, under the Chairmanship of Judge Charles B. Sears, to consider the establishment of a system of retirement allowances. The Committeerecommended to the Council in December 1946 the immediate inauguration of such a system and the Council adopted the recommendation. The annual premium paid on each contract represents ten per cent of the insured's salary. The University collects half of this amount by payroll deduction, payshalf from its own funds, and forwardsthe whole premium to the company. Participation in the system is open to those who have served the University three yearsand have reached the age of thirty. It is voluntary for the present employees of the University. Retirement at the age of 70 is obligatory for all participants, unless,in an individual case, the Council by special vote shall determine otherwise. All members of the Councilmust feel deep satisfaction that this action has at last proved possible. The lack of a retirement plan had not only handicapped the institution in recruiting new teachers, it had also been a source of anxiety to many of the most valuable members of the staff. Establishment of a Health Clinic In November 1946, the Committeeon GeneralAdministration acting for the Council,set up a Health Clinic on the campus and appointed Miss Ellen Dailey as Resident Nurse. End of Acceleration and Change of Dental SchoolCalendar The close of the year under review saw the end of the war time acceleration in the Schoolsof Law and Medicine. Each School will now return to the practice of admitting freshmanstudents but once in each calendar year. LAST MILESTONES Former medical registrar and first secretary of the Medical Alumni Association, Miss Emma L. Chappell died in Glendale, CaL, January 2, 1948. She was 83 years old. '89 MD—William O. Burbank, December 24, 1947. in Batavia, N. Y. Dr. Burbank practiced for 58 years and served as Genesee County coroner and health officer. At one time he was one of the best baseball pitchers in the state and turned down an opportunity to play pro ball to become a doctor. '95 DDS—Lloyd S. Ingalls, July 23, 1947. in Cortland.N. Y. Dr. Ingalls had practiced in Cortland for nearly 52 years and was past president of the 6tb District Dental Society of N. V, '96 LLB—Andrew B. Gilfillan. December 15, 1947, in Buffalo, N. Y. Prominent in political and legal cLcles in Buffalo for nearly 50 years, Mr. Gilfillanwas descended from a Scottish family which came to the U.S. during the American Revolution. It will be recalled that the Dental Schoolhas operated for a four-quarter plan. Dental students,under this plan, completed the course in three years instead of four. The burden laid on both students and faculty by this program has proved to be increasingly heavy. The unremitting pressure of an exacting technical curriculum has apparently caused many students to fail who might have succeeded under less exhausting conditions. The faculty of the Schoolafter extended study of the matter, voted early in the year under review to return to the more orthodox four-year course. The change will be effectedat the beginning of the next academic year. The New Division of Orthodontics During the year under review the Dental School established, with the Council'sauthorization,a new post-graduate Division of Orthodontics. Dr. Clifford Glaserwas named Director. CONTINUING NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY I have summarized above the immediate need for certain new number of yearson the buildings. Salaries In 1943 the salaries of all full-time teachers in the Schoolof Medicine were restored to the pre-depression levels and the salaries of certain positions were advanced beyond these levels. In adopting the budget for the year 1946-1947 the Council took similar action with respect to the salaries of the full-time teachers in all other schools of the University. actions. But they must be These were important and necessary viewed as temporary measures which do not establish salary scales that the University can regard as permanent. The increase in the cost of living has already in many cases cancelled the relief which the teachers derived from them. Moreover,there has been a general upward movement in the compensation of University teachers during the last three years. As a consequence the University of Buffalo finds itself once more in an unfavorable position in competing with other institutions for new staff members,and it is constantly losing some of its ablest professors to institutions which are able to pay more. Further general salary increases should be provided as soon as possible. Funds for Research Nearly every division of the University needs fluid funds for the support of the research of present staff members, and in order to attract new members with established reputations as investigators. The four divisions in which the need is most pressing are Schoolsof Medicine,Dentistry, Engineering, and the Graduate Schoolof Arts and Sciences. The next and succeeding budgets of the University should carry,if it is at all possible, much larger unallocated funds which can be drawn upon, perhaps on recommendation of a special committee of the faculties,to sustain research undertakings. Friends of the University who may wish to make a contribution of lasting value to the institution, and through the institution to the community and the nation, can be assured that gifts for no other purpose are likely in the long run to yield greater returns.

The Balance Sheet,Exhibit "A"' shows Endowment Fund Assets of $7,034,189.11; CentennialCampaign Fund Assets of $448,508.-45; Plant Fund Assets of $8,107,237.29; and Operating Fund Assets of $1,504,144.90. The total assets of the University aggregate $17,094,079-75. The new item, CentennialCampaign Fund Assets,of $448,-508.45,represents the collections to June 30, 1947 on pledges to the CentennialFund Campaign which was conducted from April 28, 1947 to May 16,1947,and which concluded the year of celebration of the University's 100th Anniversary. From many points of view the campaign was a real success. Conductedunder the able leadership of Mr. Francis A. Smith, it resulted in subscriptions, to June 30th, of $1,601,735.06 from 8,972individual subscribers. It is true the entire goal of $3,000,000 was not reached, but in the faceof nation wide business uncertainity and competition in the form of various other urgent appeals for funds, the results were far from disheartening. The most encouraging phase of the campaign, aside from the splendid efforts of the Campaign leaders and workers, was the response of the Alumni. At June 30th, the Alumni divisions had subscribed the following totals: $ 15,721.46 Arts and Sciences Business Administration 8,606.46 Dentistry 74,206.46 Education 6,097.96 Engineering 24,325.17 Law 134,100.96 Medicine 370,648.96 Nursing 20,641.30 Pharmacy 31,854.96 SocialWork 3,820.46 Out of town Alumni 17,780.00 $707,804.15 About $465,887.22 of the $1,601,735.06 subscribed to June 30th was earmarked for special purposes. The balance,it is hoped, will be devoted to Endowment. It is this portion of the Balance Sheet which urgently needs additional new funds, yielding free income. Since June 30, 1946, Plant Fund Assets have increased $589,-143-41;Operating Fund Assets have increased $359,671.10; while Endowment Fund Assets have increased only $142,766.88 in the same period. The University overnight almost, has grown into a large University, with a greatly increased enrollment,considerably greater income from student feesand a proportionately greater operating structure and overhead. Without sufficientEndowment Funds to supplement its income from student fees, it stands in a precarious position. The slightest falling off in registration, which currently is admitted to be abnormal,will throw out of balance the present delicate balance between budgeted income and disbursements. The total value of Land,Buildings, and Equipment at June 30, 1946 was $7,237,011.51; at June 30, 1947 it was $7,594,941.22; the increase during the year under review was $357,929-71. This increase is due in large part to the completion of the central section of the Engineering Building at a total cost at June 30, 1947 of $311,821.51. Even before the central section was completed, it was found to be inadequate to accommodate the large enrollment of Engineering students. The Committeeon GeneralAdministration, therefore,at a meeting on July 1, 1947, decided to add the two wings and two laboratories extending back from these wings. This additional construction,to complete the handsome new Engineering Building,will cost an estimated $500,000. In addition to the construction of the Engineering Building, extensive remodeling and alterations have been going on throughout the year. A new laboratory, complete with alberene tables and fittings which will accommodate 532 students in Inorganic Chemistry, is being built in Room 310, Foster Hall. The dispensing laboratory for Pharmacy students in a wing of Foster Hall is being enlarged. Scientificequipment for the electrical measurements laboratory for the Physics Department in ScienceHall has been ordered and will be on hand at the opening of college on October1. A new laboratory is being constructed in the Biology Building to add to the facilities of that department. A new improved 20 foot roadway is being constructed across the front of Crosby, Hayes and Science Halls, to replace the present road. A new parking area for 500 additional cars is being built at the Bailey Avenue entrance to the campus. Considerable quantities of additional scientificequipment and office and classroom furniture are being supplied as fast as they can be procured from the manufacturers. The following is a comparative table of the Operating Accounts for the fiscalyears1944-1945,1945-1946, and 1946-1947: Income 1944-1945 1945-1946 1946-1947 Fees Received from Students- $ 854,672.39 $1,388,467.27 $3,212,020.08 Income from Endowment 149,680.31 178,866.30 175,832.34 Dental Infirmary (Net) 12,754.00 19,702.79 14,775.03 Rental Property Income 1,740.00 1,740.00 1,740.00 Miscellaneous 31,023.61 17,367.21 22,648.13 A.A.F. and A.S.T.

During the year 1946--1947, fees received from students totalled $3,212,020.08, an increase of $1,823,552.81 over the preceding year. With only two exceptions every division of the University contributed to this unprecedented total. The two exceptions to this great influx of veteran and civilian enrollment were the Schoolsof Medicine and Dentistry where registration is relatively fixed by the limitations of physical space and laboratory facilities and where,furthermore, the schools began to reconvert from a 12 months accelerated pro- �6 Alumni Bulletin maintained during the war yearsto a normal schedule of classes. Income from student feesin the Schoolof Medicine declined 560.923.88,and $13,961.18 in the Schoolof Dentistry. On the disbursement side of the above Operating Statements, it will be noted that Salariesof Instruction likewise reached a new high total of $1,251,892.60, representing an increase of S637,153.73 over the previous year. This increase reflects the greatly increased teaching personnel required to handle the new heavy enrollment. This item is bound to increase still further as additional instruction is needed on higher levels when the present large freshmanenrollment reaches the upper class levels. A new item appears in the Expense section of the Operating Statement,that of Retirement Annuities, which last year cost the University 532,995.57. Participation is available on a voluntary basis to members of the teaching staff, to members of the non-teaching administrative and clerical staffsand to any members of the Business Office and of the Maintenance Forces who may elect to join. United States, Stateand Municipal GovernmentBonds, purchased by the University, yielded an averageincome of 2.15% on the actual investment; Foreign GovernmentBonds, 3.85%; Railroad Bonds,5.80%; Public Utility Bonds,3.91%; Industrial Bonds, 2.95%; Stocks, excluding gifts, 5.08%. The average yield on all stocks and bonds purchased and owned by the University, and excluding gifts, was 3.98% for the year. A recent survey made of the trend of college endowment funds over the past 15 years shows that, while the averageannual rate of return earned by both life insurance companies and mutual savings banks has declined from about 5% to 2.93%, the averageannual rate of return on college endowment funds has been maintained at about 4%. In the light of these figures, the yield on the University's endowment funds is deemed to be highly satisfactory. gram The market value on June 30, 1947 of the stocks and bonds in the University portfolio was 107.13% of their book value; or $473,825.90 in excess of their book value. The University's obligations are clear. While the present greatly increased demand for college education persists, accelerated as it is by the provisions of the G. I. Bill, the University must make every effort to accomodate all qualified applicants who seek admission. So long as registration continues at its present high levels,the University will have adequateoperating funds to carry on its work. The real trouble will come when the point of abnormally high registration has been passed. Income from endowment constitutes too small a percentage of total operating income. Prior to the late war, universities sought to maintain an even balance between these sources of income. At that time the University's position was weak because it derived 79.6% from student feesand only 15.3% from income from endowment funds. Today the situation is even less fortunatein this respect, because during the past year 93.7% of the University's total operating income was derived from student fees and only about 5% was derived from income from endowment. Moreover, during the past year about 70% of all full-time campus students were veterans and 90% of all Engineering students were veterans. Obviously, as registration declines with the termination of government aid under the G. I. Bill of Rights, income from student feeswill recede and the University must have,at that time, added to yield added income to offset the losses occasioned endowments, by the decreased registration. This problem must constantly be kept beforethe Council,the administrative officersand the friends of the University. Respectively submitted, George D. Crofts Treasurer.

BABCOCK RECEIVES CHANCELLOR'S MEDAL Leftto Right, Chancellor Capen, Frederick L. Allen, Gen. Babcock University Day this year was notable for the awarding of the Chancellor's Medal to the 21st recipient and the confering of degrees and certificates to 208, the largest midyear Commencementclass in U.B.s history. Gen. Louis L. Babcock received the Medal which is awarded annually to "some citizen who has performed a distinguished service which is identified with Buffalo". Gen. Babcock has practiced law for 58 years, served 16 years as chairman of the Committeeon American Citizenship of the N.Y. State Bar Association, is a well known historian and considered an authority on such diversified subjects as the War of 1812, the American tarpon, and Buffalo railroads. He fought in the Spanish-American war and founded the federal brigade which was later incorporated into the N.Y. State National Guard. Chancellor Capen, in awarding the Medal, cited the highlights of Gen. Babcock's life, "a. career of singularly diverse usefulnessto his community, his country and his time. It is a career in the great tradition of this city; the tradition established by the historic and versatile leaders who two and three generations ago founded and nurtured Buffalo's institutions of commerce and enlightment. That is also the great American tradition, now too seidom reincarnated. "What the record does not disclose is the personality of the man who made it; his simplicity and his strict standard of self-discipline, his pungent but kindly wit, his companionableness and his ready sympathy, his quiet force and his inveterate modesty. To the many who are privileged to know him these qualities enhance the value of his works and even outweigh the works themselves." Gen. Babcock's father, Horace Babcock, MD 51, was one of the earliest U.B. graduates. Editor of Harper's Magazine and noted author, Frederick Lewis Allen gave the commencement address. Urging the new graduates to be independent-minded, Mr. Allen said, "I am going to give you some humble hints on how to remain educated: how to avoid that slow intellectual ossification that besets so many college graduates and in the relentless course of time makes them dull dogs dull to others and, even worse than that, dull to themselves. "I won't attempt to tell you how to make $50,000 a year, or for that matter how to marry $50,000 a year, or even how to win friends and influencepeople, though I'm not sure that the hints I am going to give you won't be more helpful than not in those directions;what I shall give you is a few suggestions on keeping — on growing. "Don't forget how to read; learn to teach yourself through reading and research ; cultivate your curiosity; beware of the conservative attitude; don't limit yourself to a single social set: try to be independent-minded, using your own individual judgment; give every task you tackle more than the task calls for, and you'll enjoy it." Mr. Allen explained that by "conservative attitude", "I am not taking a crack at political or economic conservatism which can be praiseworthy. I am talking about the state of mind to which the conservative is often prone—an attitude which seems to say, 'If it's a new idea, I'm against it. If you give in to it, you are likely to miss oportunities—and miss, I think, a good deal of fun, too." Among the graduates was Dorothy Twichell, BA 46, who received her in.-si er-of-arts degree with an ovation from the audience. Miss Twichell has been paralyzed from the waist down since 1937 due to an auto accident,and is now on a teaching fellowship at the University of Michigan, leading to a PhD. Her master's thesis was on Treatment of Spinal Paralysis by Psychological Methods. She is pictured below with Lillias M. Macdonald,Dean of Women. �2 Alumni Bulletin The Great Books Via Socrates by Robert Parke So off went the expedition into distant What for? To impose their will on another people. How ? were They going to kill the oppoWar. sition, numerically far superior to the invaders. And because the generals couldn't agree, their collective strength was weakened. They fought among themselves, although the chances of warfare invited disaster. What campaign, the Italian attack on the Balkans? Oh, no, it was the Greek war against the Trojans, about 800 B.C. They were making the same mistakes in those days as modern armies do. Oh, yes, and what were they fighting over? Women! A group ot people was whooping it up around a table and tearing into Homer's account of the Trojan Wars. Men and women, scholars and folks who hadn't read much except the papers for a long time, young people and those of many moons, all were pitching in their opinions and asking questions. It was a meeting of the Great Books Club. Membership requirements were the ability to read English and the desire to discuss ideas with fellow members about the selected things we had read. Arguments were in order, and no holds barred. The meeting called for two referees. Hutchins of Chicago was responsible for the whole string of meetings, and he got the idea from records of another influential gentleman named Socrates.That keen old Greekappears to have gone on the theory that you can't do much for people by solving their problems for them, but you can do a lot for them by helping them to figure out how to help themselves. So he asked the citizenry of Athens, singly and in small groups, questions intended to "draw them out". Pretty soon he had them thinking so much that their mental self starters were leading them into new fields of thought. That is the sure way to arouse the ire of those who thrive on keeping the people mentally fencedin. Someof them whose well entrenched interests were in danger of revelation figured that less of Socrateswould insure less of the "unrest" that comes when people think, so they arranged to feed the sage a quaff of hemlock. This stopped Socrates, but not the practice by certain of his adherents of using their heads. That now honorable practice kept cropping up from time to time, and brought the scientific approach to the solution of problems. It even inspired a silkstockinged colonist not so long ago to state about an experiment in democratic living "The success of this new American government will depend upon an intelligent and enlightened electorate". And one lesson that the American electorate can learn from the conduct of wars is that we are susceptible to the same mistakes as those Greek generals. Next meeting the "students" talked enemy country. another subject. Plato's "apology" yielded admiration for the superb attitude of Socratesin insisting on standing on his principles of honorable conduct, even when he could have avoided death by changing his attitude and skipping out. Yea, verily, we could use some modern statesmen made of that sterling stuff. Each meeting brought a new book, Aristotle, Thucidides" History of the Peloponnesian War, St. Thomas Aquinas on "Law", and the arguments waxed fiercely. "Heavy going", you say? In spots, but it was fascinating. We were finding ideas in those books that the casual reader rarely can find for himself. The minds of thirsty people were focusedon the same works and they yielded interpretations that varied to opposites. "What did he mean by that statement?" "How does that compare with what his contemporaries said?" "I don't agree. I think he meant so and so". Many alumni remember Bob Parke who organized Norton Union in 1934 and directed it until 1942. He spent the war years as Director of Training at Sterling- Engine Co., later was with the Gypsum National Co., and in the fall of 1946 returned to realtors. Mr. Parke has three children, one of whom is atParkt tending his own Alma Mater, Antioch A Great Books group produces more ideas per minute than most classes that ever were held. But what about teachers? There aren't any. The leaders,referred to before as "referees" are charged with the job of keeping the discussion reasonably close to the subject for the night. They get up steam in the cranial boilers of the participants, but they don't teach. It isn't the leaders' job to tell what they think. Their job is to get the individual to talk about what he thinks. The leaders just have to be good natured fellows who have read the books. And when they play Socrateswith their questions, the scholar and the boiler maker next to him both start from scratch to get in their answers. They may not agree, but they can disagree eloquently, and everybody absorbs ideas that they didn't have before. It is wonderful how the spirit of the group stimulates inquiry impersonally and fairly. The arguments are hot, but nobody gets mad. We read the Constitution of the United States. Sure, we have all read it before. But knowing that we were going to discuss it we read it analytically for this meeting. And what a superb crea- tion of the human mind it is. Those inalienable rights, why are they inalienable? Where are they inalienable? Who agrees that all men are created equal, and what was Jefferson driving at? We read the King James version of Kings and Samuelfor the same assignment, and then the discussion started. Heavenly days, the recorders of the books of the Bible faced the same problem of the infallability of kings. The variety of books that qualify for such discussion seems unlimited. The mental stimulation for the participants is in proportion. Given an author who has tapped the profound truths of this world of ours, and a group of people who want to learn about them, and you have a Great Books course. How far are we going? That depends upon us. Robert Hutchins and his committee will outline material that will challenge us to the full extent that we want to liberate our minds from lazy habits and petty outlooks and to look toward the problems that underlie the newspaper headlines. Those problems have to be handled largely by representatives that we delegate to handle them for us, policemen, politicians. It is a fact that businessmen, with the increased leisure time that our civilization is making available to us, the problems affecting the lives of all of us are growing more difficult for our representatives to solve. Maybe we can put our minds to work to help guide our leaders. Perhaps we shall have to become leaders ourselves. This mental exercise that isn't hurting us may develop an "intelligent and enlightened electorate." Soon we'll be tackling Karl Marx's "Communist Manifesto." Why read that stuff? Well, why do we have an intelligencedepartment in the Federal Government? Know your enemy, partner. Let's find out all we can about him, his politics, his economics,and let's learn how to handle him. That will be a discussion. By 1947 Hutchins had experimented for two or three years with several groups in Chicago. In that year, more than 100 groups participated in several cities. 1948 finds hundreds of trained leaders, and students numbering thousands, who are substituting for the aimless diversions of ordinary men and women a program of genuine education. {Continuedon page 3) 28th ANNUAL HOME CONCERT Kleinhans Music Hall, April 10T 8.30 P.M.—1.00 A.M.

But an institution like an individual is a product of its total experiences and often those of little note have made the deepest impressions. Often, too, the intangible elements in its existence, the casual expression of an idea or the posing of a question, determine its final crystallizations. Because institutions tend to become set, the story of the development and the contributions of the College of Arts and Sciences of the University of Buffalo makes a particularly interesting tale of an example of an institution which in its beginnings and its growth has been relatively unusual,in American education. Most un:versities built their professional schools on the basis of strong, entrenched liberal arts colleges. The College of this University, though interested citizens of Buffalo pressed for its establishment long before this, did not appear until sixtyseven yearsafter its first professional school was established. Although the lack of a College of liberal arts was felt strongly, the delay in its appearance had its compensations. As Chancellorsaid in his inaugural address in referenceto the whole University, the mode of its establishment left the College unhampered by tradition or commitments and thus free to experiment. BEGINNINGS OF THE COLLEGE From beginnings in 1913, with classes held in the Medical Schoolin whatever rooms might be available,at hours satisfactory to the staff of that School, to housing on the Campus in all available buildings is a far cry. From thirty-five fulltime students to 2309 in full-time study is remarkable over a period of thirty-five years.From a faculty three-fourthsof which came from high schools to serve as parttime members of the teaching staff, to 182 full-time teachers,is still another remarkable development. From a first graduating class of three, to a class including approximately 350 shows growth also. But size alone is no completely adequate measure of growth and influence. Sinceits origin the College has been tru'v a community school. It has cooperated with such agencies in Buffalo as the city libraries, hospitals, schools,and social work agencies. It has been an influence in American education through such developments as honors work instituted in 3 023; the offering of a single degree, the 8.A., first voted by the Faculty in 1925; comprehensive examinations g'ven faculty approval in 1925. In 1930 the curriculum was - 35th ANNIVERSARY ticn of freedomand liberality of point of view characteristic of the University as a whole, has been held consistently to be one of our most cherished possessions. Disagreements in point of view may exist, but in the College, as in the University as a whole, there is defenseof the right of every individual, whether faculty or student,to freedomof expression. Of all its manycontributions,we like to feel that this is perhaps most significant of all in the minds of alumni,students,and faculty. "GREAT BOOKS" EXPANDS Dean Julian Park organized around the tutorial system, making available to all students in the senior college opportunity for independent study in close contact with members of the departments of their choice, to evidence definite mastery of some field of knowledge. COLLEGE RANKS AT THE TOP both By 1932 comprehensive examinations, oral and written, were in general use in through grant a 1931, departments. all In from the GeneralEducation Board,a study was made of duplication between high school and college programs,resulting in initiation of anticipatory examinations enabling gifted high school students to receive college credit for subjects in which they were able to demonstrate achievement. In a study published by the National Society for the Study of Education in 1932, the College was ranked together with the University of Chicago, as first in new developments. The continuity and encouragement of administration over the whole period of its development in the person of its Dean, Julian Park, has been of importance in all the work and emphasis of the activity of the College. THE COLLEGE AND ITS TRADITIONS Perhaps a word may be added concerning other contributions, less simple to enumerate. The values of any experience must be judged in terms of the human beings whose lives have been affected.It is difficult to determine the extent to which the College has left an impress on the personalities of generations of students through its administration,its faculty, its offerings, and its various innovations. We are very proud, however, that the tradiThe above article was written for the Alumni Bulletin by a member of the faculty. The editor is deeply indebted to her for her contribution. The GreatBooks program which has been especially successful in Western New York as directed by the University of Buffalo and the Buffalo Public Library is calling for new leadership. Dr. OscarA.

After much discussion and consideration of alumni, outside experts, and faculty opinion, the University Council voted for the campus site. When the building will be started depends on finances, since at present there is not enough money available for the two-million dollar teaching center. The Schools will be able to continue teaching relationships with all of the hospitals used at present plus the New Veterans Hospital across from the campus, and the students will at last have recreational facilities.

Degrees and certificates were conferred by Chancellor Capen on 623 graduates, from the Schools of Medicine, Engineering, Business Administration, Arts & Sciences, Education, Law, Pharmacy, Nursing, and Social Work. The dentists will be graduated in September. Associate commissioner of education, N.Y. State, Algo D. Henderson was the maiu speaker. He told the new graduates that a more adequate investment in higher education by the country as a whole was essential to maintain the position of the United States in the world. At the baccalaureate services on the previous Sunday in Hayes Hall, Dr. Capen again warned against the Russian totalitarianism. He said communism itself is not the real menace. "In this moment of our history we need straight thinking. We need more widespread understanding of the deep sources of America's strength. Above all we need the faith and the courage which the practice of democracy always demands." The Last Issue Until Fall This is the last issue of the ALUMNI BULLETIN until Fall. The next issue will be sent to alumni and friends at the opening of the Fall semester. ■ Two flags flown at the South Pole section were presented to the University by student Clarence O. Fiske. Mr. Fiske was a member of the Ronne Antarctic Expedition for a year and made a UB flag. It was flown with the Stars and Stripes over the expedition's farthest point.

Sanborn, LLB '39, and his committee are looking forward to entertaining hundreds of alumni at the 23rd Annual Homecoming, Saturday, November 6th. First event of the afternoon is the footgame ball with Niagara University, kicking off at 2:15 P.M. in Civic Stadium. Welcome to the alumni will be extended by alumnipresident Waring A. Shaw, BA '31, at halftime after which the cheerleaders and Sanborn the University's fiftyfive piece band, under the direction of John Krestic, will entertain with one of their popular music and drill shows. All football games have four quarters. But this year's" Homecoming Game will have five. "Fifth quarter", that time set aside when alumni can gather in one place and meet their classmates and friends, will take place directly after the game at the La Marque Restaurant, 636 Delaware Avenue near North Street. What the alumnus cares to eat or drink is available here, according to his individual taste and pocketbook. At the bottom of the page is a coupon which entitles each alumnus to a fifty-cent reduction in the price of any dinner at the La ANNUAL Marque. Cut it out and save it for it really is "something for nothing". In the evening, alumni are invited to attend the informal student-sponsored Homecoming Dance from 9 to 1 at the 174th Armory. In planning the program for the individual alumnus, Chairman Sanborn and his committee purposely avoided a ■'blanket" ticket, covering all events, which has usually been the custom. Said "By removing the 'blanket Sanborn: hope price", we we have made it possible for the alumnus to participate in the Homecoming celebration acording to his individual wishes. Game tickets will be available at the Alumni Office, at the Stadium, or at Clark Gymnasium. Any who wish to make special party dinner reservations may also call the Alumni Office or the La Marque; such reservations are advisable but not necessary." - In describing the Buffalo Niagara game as a "natural", Coach Frank Clair told the committee :'The alumni couldn't have picked a better game for homecoming. Right now, I'd call it a toss-up. Niagara has shown a good team, but so have we. And in these old-rival contests, the favorite can't be picked before the final whistle blows. I'd call this game the highlight of the local season." For many alumni, Homecoming will offer the first opportunity to see tall, softspoken Clair. Selected over one hundred other applicants to succeed Jim Peelle, promoted to director of athletics, the thirtyish, handsome new coach was assistant to Stu Holcomb at Purdue who describes Clair as "one of the finest head coaching prospects developed in the Big Ten in recent years." In his playing days he was an outstanding end at Ohio State and later played with the Eastern AllStars and the Washington Redskins. Coach Clair's squad of 60 put in hard work this fall in converting to the T type of offense and have picked up expertness, since their setback in the initial game at the hands of Colgate, in straight triumphs over .Hobart, R.P.1., Alfred. Clair has a well taught group as attested by the fact that no single "star" has emerged; rather CiaiT the squad works as a team and there are several "stars", all sharing in the scoring, like Eddie Middlesteadt, twisting fullback; T-general Jules Licata; Howie Haderer, around-end specialist; Bob Conk, kicking artist; little Vic Cleri, pass-catcher and broken field artist; Sal Amico, scatback; line stalwarts Grottanelli, Leipler, Molnar, Massey, Olson, and O'Donnell; and fast backs Gilbert, Wodarczak, Nappo, Nicosia, and Rudick. In all, it is a good squad which has been pointing for the Niagara game and should give alumnirooters an exciting afternoon. Just for the record: U.B. and Niagara have played nine times, the first game in 1897, with U.B. the victor five times to Niagara's four.

UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO HOMECOMING �2 Alumni Bulletin Law Building Started; Not to Affect Med-Dent The recent action of the Council of the University authorizing the letting of contracts for the demolition of the building presently occupied by the Law School and the erection of a new Law School Building on the same site may have surprised members of the Alumni Body. There has been little public discussion of the need of the Law School for new and enlarged quarters. On the other hand, the needs of certain other divisions for improved accommodations, particularly those of the Medical and Dental Schools, have been much discussed. The question may have arisen in the minds of some Alumni: Does the decision to build a new Law School now mean that the project for a Medical-Dental Building has been superseded or indefinitely postponed? The answer is: Neither. The Council has recognized for more than a year that the two operations which must now claim priority in any building program are the erection of a Medical-Dental Building and the provision of adequate facilities for the Law School. Within the academic year 194T-19-i8 both projects were referred to the Committee on Buildings and Grounds for the preparation of plans. The plans for the Medical-Dental Building were prepared first. This was known to be much the more elaborate and expensive undertaking. Because of the fact that two alternative sites were under consideration several sets of plans and accompanying estimates of costs were prepared. There was an unusual amount of publicity regarding the matter before the Council decided the question of location. That decision, as most members of the Alumni Body probably know, was made in June 1948. Meanwhile, the Committee on Buildings and Grounds also had plans made for a new Law School Building. This project presented no such complications as did the other. The question of the site could almost be said to have settled itself. The overwhelming majority of the interested parties Council, Faculty, and Law Alumni favored a downtown location and the present site was the only one which the University could use for the purpose at this time. The subscriptions of the Law Alumni to the Centennial Campaign covered a substantial part of the co?t and the rest could be met without too great difficult}'. There were therefore no serious obstacles to proceeding with the project at once. Haste was, in fact, imperative since the Law School is not now able to carry on its teaching operations in its present building. Law classes must be held in Townsend Hall and the Law Library has so far outgrown its quarters that it cannot make the books it owns accessible to students and faculty. Several facts bearing on the project for building a new Medical-Dental Plant may not be generally known to the Alumni Body. They may be summarized as follows: It was assumed two or three years ago that an adequate Medical-Dental Building could be erected for approximately a million — — dollars. The Committee on Buildings and Grounds found out early in its study of the problem that under present conditions the cost would be two million or more. The University has received a large gift from Mrs. Jessica A. Sherman and an exceedingly generous bequest from the late Dr. Dewitt H. Sherman which the donors have specified should ultimately be used for the erection of a Medical Building. The income of both funds is subject to a life tenancy and neither fund is now available for the designated purpose. The subscriptions of the Medical and Dental Alumni to the Centennial Fund, most of which may be applied on the cost of a new building, totalled $504,748. Collections are ahead of schedule but considerable amounts remain to be paid. The Council expects to use these subscriptions, except as the subscriber may have otherwise provided, for the proposed new building. Several large bequests, notably those of Dr. James E, King and Mrs. Edward J. Meyer, were made to the University in 1947. A large part of these bequests may be used for the proposed building. The estates, however, are still in process of settlement. In view of these facts the Council has known for some time that the start of actual building operations on the new Medical Dental Plant would have to be delayed. The decision to erect a new Law School Building this year is not expected to increase the delay. - The editor wishes to express his indebtedness to Chancellor Samuel P. Capcn for writing this article which so clearly outlines the facts attendant upon the decision to erect the neu- Law School building. 1948 ALUMNI GIFTS Figures as of Oct. 10, 1948 No. of Donors Division Amount Paid 10.00 Analytical Chemistry* 1 Arts and Sciences 176 $ 2,023-56 ....

Van Arsdale, Jr. to the new position. When the Alumni Office was first established in 1933, William G. Cook was appointed Secretary. He served effectively in this post until called into active military service in 1940. He was then given leave of absence for the period of his military duty but returned to his University post on his release from the army in 1946. He resigned the Alumni Secretaryship early in 1947 and the Alumni Office has since then had no permanent head until the appointment of Mr. Van Arsdale. In the years since the establishment of the Alumni Office the Alumni body has increased greatly in size. Alumni activities have multiplied. The Van Arsdale job of coordinating existing activities has grown. The task of cultivating close and continuing relations between many groups of our widely scattered graduates and the University has become more exacting an-i also more important both for the University and for the Alumni themselves. In view of the enlarged responsibilities of the Alumni Office the representatives of the General Alumni Board believed, and the Committee on General Administration agreed with them, that the title of Director of Alumni Relations more accurately described the functions which the head of that office should exercise than did the former designation. Mr. Van Arsdale brings to his new post excellent training and unusually valuable experience. He graduated from the College of Arts and Sciences with the degree of A.B. in 1938. He received the degree of A.M. from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in 1940. During the period of his graduate study he was assistant in alumni and publicity work. He joined the faculty of the Park School in 1939 as Instructor in English and Director of Publicity. He directed the School's summer session from 19-40 until 1948, with the exception of the years when he was absent on military service. He was appointed Assistant Headmaster in 1946 and held that office until he resigned to assume his present position. He served as an air officer in the Navy from 1943 to 1946. He entered upon his duties as Director of Alumni Relations, September Ist, 1948. Includes only *degrees from those without other the University of Buffalo to The editor wishes to express his indebtedness Chancellor Capcn for writing the above article. �October, 3 1948 ALMA MATER REGISTRATION EXCEEDS 10,000 The University opened its 103rd year September 17th with over 10,000 students, more than 5800 on the North Main Campus, according to Registrar Emma E. Deters. The total registration represents an increase of one hundred fifty over last year. Miss Deters also reported that 4,117 students attended the summer session, comprising the highest enrollment since the University's summer session was established in 1915. * * * A comprehensive regional hospital plan, designed to improve the general level of medical care throughout Western N. V., has been developed through the Postgraduate Department of the School of Medicine. The plan will extend the facilities of the School's postgraduate program to practicing physicians and allied medical personnel throughout the region and will bring teaching programs, and in some instances interns, to qualifying hospitals in the smaller communities of the area. Each hospital which becomes a part of the plan will enter into affiliation with the Medical School and with one or more of the teaching hospitals now associated with the School. * * * Music at the University has received an additional stimulant this fall with the opening of band and orchestra courses allowing academic credit to those enrolled and the appointment of band director John Krestic and symphony conductor Jan Wolanek. Each of their units will comprise about seventyfive students and progress has been so promising that concerts are prospective for spring. Professor Wallace Van Lier heads the department which has grown from 1936's sixty students to over 300 this fall. * * * New dean of Millard Fillmore College, evening session of the University, is John A. Beane, Eng '39, BA '43, MA '47, formerly associate professor of engineering. He succeeds Lewis A. Froman who was named president of Russell Sage College at Troy, N. Y. * * * The University's offerings in geology and geography have been greatly enlarged through expansion of the former department of geology into the present department of geology and geography headed by Dr. Reginald H. Pegrum. The move was effected by appointment of two new assistant professors (see Alumni News Items) and four graduate assistants. * * * The demand for college-trained people is at least as great today as it ever has been, according to Edward L. Klingelhofer, the University's assistant director of student placement, who has announced the placement of 98% of last June's graduates. REPORTS MANY SENIORS OUTSTANDING University seniors have made outstanding records in specialized examinations given to the seniors of more than 100 colleges and universities, according to Dean Edward S.Jones, director of personnel research. Commenting on the results, he said, "They demonstrate that the U. B. student is very superior to those from other institutions in the field of his concentration in all large departments. The figures indicate that 84% of U.B. seniors are above the 50% point of seniors in general." * * * of Medicine has received The School a grant of $16,500 from the Masonic Foundation for Medical Research and Human Welfare. The grant, one of the first to be made by the Foundation, will be used for research on the cause, prevention and cure of rheumatic fever and allied diseases. * * * In an article appearing in a recent issue of the quarterly Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Chancellor Capen charged that academic freedom is being suppressed by the great majority of college presidents and their boards of trustees and warned that it is "far more common than most casual observers are aware". Stressing the fact that responsibility goes with freedom and that it extends to students as well as to faculty members, he stated, "Universities can best defend American democracy by tenaciously upholding those rights which The American democracy guarantees. university will especially inquire into all subjects that are controversial, because the only intelligent and competent way to deal and the only demowith a controversy is to find out all about it; cratic way both sides of it and not one side alone". He added that a university will not teach any kind of dogma or "ism"; it will not indoctrinate at all. "Enlightenment is its function not propaganda." .. — — — * * * Seventy-one physicians from 15 states, graduates of 38 colleges, last month took the 28th annual postgraduate course in the University's School of Medicine. Conducted annually by the Department of Postgraduate and Continuation Work, headed by A. H. Aaron, MD '12, the course is designed to keep doctors posted in various fields of modern medicine. * * * Scheduled for completion on January Ist is the new swimming pool being installed in Clark Memorial Gywnasium. The new natatorium will cost approximately $75,000, part of which is being covered by the $14,000 raised by the alumni in 1937. Completed this month were several new playing fields and hard surface areas between Rotary Field and Clark Gym for the physical education plant. ACTIVITIES DENTS GRADUATE 24 Degrees of Doctor of Dental Surgery were conferred by Chancellor Capen on 24 graduates of the school of Dentistry at a special commencement in Norton Hall, September 16th. Speaker Edward E. Mimmack, DDS '21, professor of materia medica and therapeutics, told the graduates that "dentistry can be fun" and urged them to "arouse a patient's sense of humor" to make for better dentist-patient relationships. The candidates were presented by Dean Russell W. Groh, DDS '18. * * * Reporting on a 5500-mile summer tour as an eight-man special Economic Co-operation Administration survey group studying China's industrial needs, Dr. John D. Sumner, professor of economics, on leave until January as head of economic work for the ECA in China, found the industrial equipment "unbelievably obsolete". His group recommended 70 billions in aid to "allow China to maintain low industrial production and give them time to help them- a member of selves." GANIM PRESIDENT-ELECT A glance at the list of the Executive Committee on page 8 will reveal two changes of interest to alumni. G. Thomas Ganim, BS '24, LLB "27, last June was elected to the office of president-elect of the General Alumni Board, a new office created by the Executive Committees amendment of the By-Laws to achieve length and continuity of experience for officers on the Board. Presidentelect Ganim has been an officer and member of the Executive Committee for several years and ha; been particularly effective as vice-president in charge of Ganim funds. Another ammendment of the By-Laws, effected last December, makes the Alumni Fund Secretary, Miss Pauline I. Miller, BS(Bus) '35, a member of the Executive Committee.

Of Mr. Mitchell, Dr. Capen has said, "He devoted himself to the University's interests often at the expense of his leisure. He was one of the largest donors to its funds. He comprehended fully the meaning of its activities. He represented it publicly with force and persuasiveness; and by his own complete conviction of its importance to the life of the city, he won for it the support of many other influential citizens. He left upon the University an imprint of his own integrity, his own dignity, his own high sense of duty." as president of �Alumni Bulletin 8 Prof. Billian &m laii!** Law School THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO ALUMNI BULLETIN Published monthly except July.

Featuring UNDERWAY LAW ALUMNI PARTY Law Alumni ushered out the old and made ready for the new when they held a cocktail party in the old Law School building, Monday afternoon, October 11th. New and old graduates gathered in jovial spirits in nearly bare rooms, nostalgically recalling the "old days'" in the building and eagerly discussing the possibilities and beauty of the new building about to be erected on the site. Law alumni president, LeGrand F. Kirk, LLB'2S; treasurer, Joseph A. Kolassa, LLB'24; and secretary, Kent Christy, LLB '24, assisted by a large committee of law a Imm, sponsored the well-attended affair. - COLGATE TRAIN SUCCESS The one hundred sixty alumni who made the trip to the U. B. Colgate game, Sept. 25th, on the Alumni Football train were emphatic in their opinion that a similar excursion should be sponsored for another game next fall if the football schedule permits. Under "conductor" J. Frederick Painton, MD '27, vice-president in charge of activities, the air-conditioned coaches and two diners shoved off from Central terminal at 8 A.M. carrying the alumni, the new University band, and several cheerleaders. Debarking at Colgate, the band and the alumni formed an impromptu parade for the two-block walk to the field and thence to their seats. The team's loss to the tune of 25-0 seemed not to dampen the spirits of the group because the return trip was a jovial one indeed, with much credit due John Krestic's bandsmen who played any and all requests without rest. U. B. GETS BEQUEST Jr., LLB '97, chairman of the Committee on Bequests of the General Alumni Board, announced the bequest of $1,000 to the University provided in the will of the late Albert A. Gartner, MD '14. George G.

Pictured above is one of under a new type of offense the Univer- sity's greatest football teams. the season Starting taught by new Coach Frank Clair, the squad dropped the opener to Colgate, but roared back with successive victories over Hobart, R.P.1.,Alfred, Washington & Jefferson, Louisville, Bucknell, and a tie with Niagara. To single out certain men for special commendation would be to mention almost every man on the squad, for the 1948 edition of the Bulls is indeed a "team"', men who have played together to achieve a fine record under the tutelage of Coach Clair, Backfield Coach Lome Weeks BS(Bus) '46, and Line CoachSid Snyder BS(Phar) '43. No one will walk the prediction plank, but the fact remains that Freshman CoachesVito Grieco, Edß'39, EdM'47, and Vic Manz, speak emphatically of their neophytes as a "great squad", and their record bears them out. Candidates for next year's varsity line include two outstanding guards, Vic Fronczyk and Peter D'Arrigo; two 200-Ib. tackles,Leo Saltzmanand Russell Gugino; and four experienced and clever ends, Carl Markey, Matthew Szyzlowski, Arnold Cameron,and Edward Giesiwicz. Two scatbacks,Ray Weser and Ray Dinnocenzio,and an experienced T-quarterback,Don Holland, should help fill graduation-gaps in the backfield. VARSITY RECAP k-( [. B.-39 r. B.-39 r. B.-8 r. B.-49 I.

Homecomers Have Fun Homecoming alumni were a major group in the 6,500people who watched the Bulls battle Niagara's Purple Eagles to a 13-13 tie, Saturday afternoon, November 6, on a miserably muddy and slippery gridiron in Civic Stadium. But the weather held fair and the alumni and their friends held forth vociferously as they cheered the Bulls' rugged line and the several spectacular, fast-breaking backs who fought to retain their footing on the greasy field. At halftime, the University band paraded at double-time into formation beforethe Buffalo sections to play the Alma Mater and the deep bowl echoed like the "silent wood". After the game,more than 200 alumni gathered at the LaMarque Restaurant Delaware Avenue for cocktails and dinner to the accompaniment of plenty of post mortem on the game, with several emphatic comments about certain "three blind mice", and many expected and unexpected reunions with classmates. No formal program was planned—none was needed, for the alumni quickly proved they could make their own! J. Frederick Painton, MD '27, GAB's vice-president in charge of activities,probably made the most descriptive comment on the party as he watched his appointee, Chairman Robert C.

MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN ALUMNI COUNCIL PLEASENOTIFY US OF CHANGE OF ADDRESS RESEARCHERS AND PORKIES UNIVERSITY HEADLINES THIS MONTH The University has the LARGESTENROLLMENT in its 103-year history. Official figures released by Registrar Emma E. Deters reveal a total of 11,060,a gain of 122 students over last year. Both day and evening sessions showed gains. There are 6,515 students in the day divisions and 4,780 in Millard Fillmore College with 235 duplicates. Of the total registration, 57.6% are veterans. Arts and Sciencescontinues as the largest day division, Business Ad. is second,and the new but rapidly-growing School of Engineering third. TWO GRANTS FOR RESEARCH totaling $14,485 were made to by the U. S. Public Health University the Service recently. Part of the sum will be used to continue bacteriology-Professor Ernest Witebsky"s research project in the purification and isolation of Rh substances in the blood, as well as bloodgroup specific substances A and B. The remainder of the sum will be used to conpurposes tinue medicine-Professor John H. Talbott"s research project in the pathogenesis and treatment of gout. Pictured here with biology-Professor Albert R. Shadle,and two of his students, are two very important tenants of the "Animal House', home of the Biology Department's 18 porcupines used in Dr. Shadle'sresearch in porcupine biology, a field in which he has become a nationally-recognized authority. Of the 18 "porkies", 5 have been bred and born here— the only ones, so far as is known, bred and born in captivity. Dr. Shadle has recently received a grant from the National Research Council's Division of Medical Sciencesto continue his study of the sexual behavior of the porcupine. Uniuerdltu CALENDAR A beautiful 12-page collection of University scenes, both campus and professional schools. Available at the BUREAU OF PUBLIC RELATIONS "'Although the MARSHALL PLAN is helping considerably, it is still looked upon with suspicion by many persons in Europe", said Dean of Administration Claude E. Puffer upon his recent return from a three-month study of economic conditions in 11 European countries. His trip was unique in that he lived with friends' families in their homes and shared their life and rations and, hence, more readily gained their reactions. HE REALLY WORKS Alumni who recall the days when they "worked their way through"' will perhaps give pause as they read of Robert A. Glasser. A full-time student in the junior class in Law School, he is also a regular police lieutenant, active Naval reservist, and the father of two children. He has been a member of the Buffalo police Lt. Glauer force since 1941, years served three as a Naval officer, and decided last year that inflation was tough on his police pay and so entered Law School. And he's a good policeman, too. Last March he pulled two children from Delaware Park Lake and was awarded the department's highest honor, the Win. J. ConnersGold Medal, and the Daly Post American Legion Honor Medal. When he took a vacation this summer, it was to act as executive officer aboard a cruising Naval LCS. But he still gets good marks! HELLUVA AN ENGINEER? New DIRECTOR OF TUTORIAL instruction is Arts and Sciences'Assistant Dean Richard M. Drake. The tutorial system, for which the University has gained international fame, .was adopted in 1931 and enables upper classmen to develop intellectual skills through independent, creative study. Dean A. Bertram Lemon,PhG'l3, has been reappointed by the Regents of the State Education Department to a three year term as a member of the State Board of PHARMACY EXAMINERS. This marks his third term of service on the Board. He is also chairman of a special committee appointed by the Commissioner of Education to design a modern type of licensing examination for pharmacists. No Rambling weeks here! A U. B. engineer cheers on his favorite gridiron bulls to make "rambling wrecks" of the weekly opposition. He sits in a special section and wears a railroad engineer's cap and kerchief.Even the lady-engineers participate. Has it been effective?Well, look at the record—and the picture here, too, of Dorothy Gracz and James Moynihan. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It grows not in numbers alone but in the variety and distinction plishments as well. of its accom- The Alumni and the University should reflect reciprocal credit upon each other. Every achievement of a graduate brings honor not only to himself but also to the institution which helped to prepare him for his career. Every advance which the University makes as an educational institution, every contribution of a member of its faculty which adds to its national or international repute, enhances the value of each graduate's degree. Those of us who are charged with carrying on the daily work of the University believe that its recent record of imaginative public service and intellectual productiveness in war and in these after years which are not war, although hardly peace, is worthy of its graduates. We hope that the record has given you stronger reason than ever to be proud of your Alma Mater. To that end, at any rate, the efforts of all of us who serve the University are constantly directed.

Dr. Moore was roentgenologist at Mercy Hospital. ... DR. KATE PELHAM NEWCOMB a beaten path! You can hear the story from many lips, the thankful people, young and old, of the Manitowish district in northern Wisconsin, centered about the community of Woodruff—for she is the only doctor for miles around and medical godmother to most of the younger generation in that land of lakes, pine, and bush, terrible winters and rough roads back through the woods. The natives say that the pace she holds would just about kill "those city docs"'. Kate Peiham Newcomb,MD'l7, hasn't always been fond of the north country. When she graduated, she interned in a New York hospital beforeworking in the slums of that city. Then she went to Detroit to do general practice. There she met William Newcomb, auto plant employee, and they were married. When her husband became ill and she lost her first youngster, they decided to move to Wisconsin's woods country and she announced she would give up medicine. However, her new neighbors' needs for medical assistance could not go unanswered and she has been looking after them ever since. Accounts of her service are almost legend: between three and four thousand obstetrical cases (she can't remember exactly), wounded hunters, sick vacationists, lumbering accidents; and and horseshe has used canoe, snowshoes, back many times to get to her patients. Now the people in the 11 communities in the area are going to build a hospital and want to name it "Newcomb Hospital", but her answer is typical: "Never mind the name; just get it built". That young women today are eager to follow Dr. Newcomb and the late Mary B. Moody MD'76, first woman graduated from the Medical School, in their successful service to mankind is attested by the assiduous study of the 22 women now a part of the School's261 students. �4 Alumni Bulletin "Ttu. ■ A^^M^uJ THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO ALUMNI BULLETIN Published monthly except July, August and September by the University of Buffalo at 3455 Main St., Buffalo14, N.

MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN ALUMNI COUNCIL PLEASE NOTIFY US OF CHANGE OF ADDRESS UNIVERSITY HEADLINES The new 66-piece UNIVERSITY BAND, which has already established its popularity with students and alumni spectators at football games this fall, will seek University-alumni-community support for its first annual concert in Kleinhans Hall, the evening of February 21. Director John Krestic states that all proceeds will be used to buy new uniforms for band-members. # * * Director of the new ALCOHOLISM REHABILITATION and Information Center at the School of Medicine,sponsored by the Western N. Y. Committee for Education on Alcoholism, is Kenneth Goldstein, MD'39. One of the first such centers to be established in connection with a medical school, the unit is designed to aid the medical profession in its fight against alcoholism. The unit was opened early this month. * * * ANTICIPATORY EXAMS in 18 fields were administered recently to undergraduate students by assistant dean of students, Mazie E. Wagner. Given six times anually since 1932, these college-credit exams offer students the opportunity of earning credits for courses not taken formally but for which mastery has been gained through work experience or independent study. The University is one of the few institutions in the country which has such a program. NEW ENGINEERING BUILDING Recently completed and located on the south end of the Campus is University's new Engineering Building. The center section was built first and then two wings were added. Each of the sections has a long laboratory extending to the back. School of Engineering now has nearly 1200 students. The VARSITY SPORTS BANQUET, sponsored by the Interfraternity Council with the approval of the Athletic Policy Committee, will be-held the evening of March 15. Designed to provide a fitting climax to fall and winter athletics and an occasion when alumni and undergraduate varsity lettermen can get together, the event has GAB president Waring A. Shaw, BA'3l, and GAB activities vicepresident, J. Frederick Painton, MD'27, as alumni advisors. * * * A panel discussion on MANAGEMENT EDUCATION at the University early this month brought together prominent local educators and industrial leaders for consideration of a report of a national survey conducted by a Society for the Advancement of Management committee on Relations with Colleges and Universities for the purpose of promoting scientific management in related fields. Dr. Claude E. Puffer, dean of administration, presided. FACULTY CHANGES: Dr. Julius W. Pratt, dean of the GraduateSchoolof Arts and Sciencesand professor of history, will be on leave to teach-at Harvard for the second semester. Taking his history position for that period will be J. Fred Rippy, history professor at the University of Chicago. Dr. Annamarie M. Sauerlander, BA'2B, MA'3O, professor of German, resigns in January to accept a position at the University of Washington, Seattle.Marvin Farber,professor of philosophy, has been named acting dean of the GraduateSchool of Arts & Sciences for the term of Dr. Pratt's absence. * * * President of the newly-formed INTERNATIONAL CLUB on the Campus, Adriano Montanari, of Brazil, often surprises his fellow-studentswhen he speaks of the low cost of living in this country. He says it's much higher in Brazil. His compatriot, Ariano Araujo, finds the academic freedom of the University and the friendliness of the Buffalonians most surprising and enjoyable to him. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The concert will feature several kinds of band music and soloists will play. Proceeds will be used to purchase new uniforms. Tickets are one dollar plus tax. ADMISSIONS POLICY CHANGED JOHN G. LESSWING,LLB 10 He was there! Lesswing hasn't missed a reunion of Law '10 since the group had its get-together first in 1909, and this year was no exception. Confinedto a hospital bed while convalescing froim an operation, Lesswing, permanent secretary of the John G. — class, still maintained his attendance this time via a two-way telephone hookup 'to the Buffalo Club where his classmates gathered December 17th to honor George D. Crofts, University comptroller and professor of law emeritus. Master of ceremonies was class-president Christopher Baldy who introduced Mr. Crofts and classmate-speakers William K. Lyon and Supreme Court Justice George T. Vandermeulen. SOCIAL WORK ELECTS WILGA To complete its representation on the General Alumni Board, the Alumni Association of the Schoolof Social Work has elected ChesterA. Wilga, SWk '39. His term expires in June, 1950. SocialWork's other GAB representative is Elmer J. Tropman, BA '32, MA '35, SWk '37, whose term expires next June. BUSINESS PUBLISHES REVIEW Business Ad alumni were aware recently of Alma Mater's interest in them when they received "Business Administration Alumni Review", published by the School's faculty alumni relations committee, Robert F. Berner, BS(Bus) '39, MBA '48; William P. Weyer. BS(Bus) '34; and Merton W. Errell, BS (Bus) '38. The committee expects to publish the "Review" at least twice during the academic year and continue the policy of printing business articles and news of alumni. The Council of the University at its last meeting passed a resolution which, in effect, means that the University is dropping its post-war preference to applicants from the Bth Judicial District and will accept students from outside that area now with the same admission requirements. UNIVERSITY BRIEFS Several hundred openings for EXPERIENCED TEACHERS are available through the University's Personnel Office and interested alumni should write or phone Dr. Mazie Wagner, BA '25, MA '27 about these opportunities which exist in alt fields of teaching and education.

University from the �2 Alumni Bulletin REPORT OF THE CHANCELLOR (Abstract) To the Council of the University of Buffalo: The yearhas been a period of general progressand improvement. The teaching and administrative staffsof the several divisions,the Comptroller's Officeand the Councilitself have recognized as their most immediate obligation the solution of the physical problems presented by the immense increase in the size of the University. As the result of the effortsof all of these bodies it is fair to say that the additional numbers have been in large measure digested. Important policies affecting the long future of the University have also received consideration and have advanced to the stage of adoption. Fruitful achievements have been consummated in manyfields of teaching and research. The principal changes which have taken place during the year fall into four major categories: the growth of the student body, additions to physical facilities, educational developments, and actions of the Council affecting the teaching and administrative staffs. GROWTH OF THE STUDENT BODY During the past year 13.216 different individuals attended the University. This represented an increase of approximately 149c over the total enrollment of 1946-1947. The registrants were divided almost equally between full time and part ;ime students. As in the preceding ve.ir, veterans constituted the majority of both the full time and the part time student groups. The Council will recall that last year the University dealt with an increase of 65rS in the overall enrollments; and that the full time day divisions showed an increase of 85*^. The growth in the year under review was small by comparison; and was more evenly distributed. The day divisions increased in size only about 9%. Millard Fillmore College increased approximately 20%. Future Enrollment Prospects Will the University continue to grow in numbers?No one can answer that question with certainty. It seems safe to predict that the Universe's enrollment has already, or by this autumn will have, reached its peak. After 1948-1949 a decline is practically certain to set in. In the beginning the decline is expected to be slow, since the majority of the veterans are two or three years short of graduation. It is for the years following 1950-1951 that predicting is chiefly guesswork. The Council is aware that the Schoolsof Medicine and Dentistry cannot increase in size as long as they remain in their present quarters. The projected new building would accommodate some 15% more medical students and 30C more dental students. It would undoubtedly be filled to capacity. The Schoolof Pharmacy and the Schoolof Law are the only other divisions of the L^niversity which have been obliged by limitations of space to reject large numbers of qualified candidates for c entrance. The present demand for legal education is obviously inflated. When the veteran contingent has passed by. it is now expected that the number of law students will drop to some figure in the neigh- borhood of 200 plus or minus. The College of Arts and Scienceis now approximately three times its pre-war size. But the increment consists largely of veterans. The non-veteran student population has increased slowly. A more rapid increase in this group of students is expected next yearand the years immediately following. The expectation is based on the growth of the high school population of the Stateand on the greatly increased interest of high school students and their parents in college education. The officersof the University are guessing the College will be about 50ri larger than beforethe war. They believe that this guesserrs, if at all, on the side of conservatism. By the end of the war, the Schoolof Business Administration came into its own with a rush. Its highest pre-war enrollment that of 1941 was 287. In the year under review it enrolled 1,371. It seems safe to predict that the School'speriod of relatively small attendance has passed, and that after the veterans have graduated it will attract a student body of from 50r'( to 1009r larger than its pre-war peak load. The Schoolof Engineering graduated its first regular class in June 1948. It offersfull curricula only in Mechanical Engineering — — and Industrial Engineering. A curriculum in Electrical Engineering is in process of development and the offerings of the first three years in this specialty have already been approved by the State Education Department. The growth of the Schoolhas been so far beyond all the calculations made at the time of its establishment in 1946 as to continue to astound its officers. All signs point to the likelihood that the University will be called upon to maintain a much larger school than those who planned the project imagined. At different times during the last two decades when the evening divisions of other universities have fallen off in numbers,Millard Fillmore College has continued to grow. Its offerings have also steadily expanded, not merely as the result of the imagination applied to its direction by the Dean and his faculty advisors,but also in response to articulate demands from the community. As the result of all these factors,my colleagues and I do not expect a substantial drop in the enrollment in Millard Fillmore College in the foreseeable future. The tentative forecastsI have just presented do not wholly predictions made at various times during the past agreewith the two years by state and national bodies. The estimates offered here are much more conservative than those of anyof these agencies. Nearly all of the reports published point to the demonstrable demand for much more higher education than was accessible to qualified students before the war, call attention to the enhanced public appreciation of the advantages of college and professional training which is a product of the war itself, take note of the expanding secondary school population, and predict that the decline of the veteran enrollments of colleges and universities through graduation will be in large measure met by greatly increased freshmen contingents coming directly from the high schools. If these official forecasters are correct, the provisional estimates concerning the post-G.I. size of the several divisions of the University of Buffalowhich I have offeredwill have to be revised upward. ADDITIONS TO PHYSICAL FACILITIES Completed Additions The most important building operation was the erection of the two wings of the Engineering Building. The equipment of a building of this size for the instruction of more than 1,000 engineering students would at any other time have presented the University with a serious financialproblem. But fortunately the problem was largely met in advance by substantial assistance from two sources. The generous gifts of a number of engineering and manufacturing firms of this area provided the Schoolwith many basic pieces of equipment. In addition,this whole project coincided with the Government'sprovision for the disposal of surplus war materials. We were able thus to acquire, either at no expense or at a minute fraction of the cost, an immense amount of valuable and necessary apparatus. The Schoolwill thereforebe in a position to start its enlarged operations unexpectedly well equipped with new and up to date tools and machinery. New Projects Authorized The provisions for physical education and intramural sports have always been defective. Mrs. Evelyn Clark'sgenerous bequest to the University was used in 1938 for the erection of the ClarkMemorial Gymnasium. But the funds did not sufficefor the completion of a swimming pool or of the squash and handball courts. This situation led the Committeeon General Administration in the early summer of 1948 to authorize the Committeeon Buildings and Groundsto proceed forthwith to construct the swimming pool and the squash and handball courts in the Gymnasium, and to prepare the large area bounded by the Gymnasium, the parking lots, the Rotary Field and Winspear Avenue for various kinds of playing fields. The work will be completed in the autumn of 1948. The playing area will contain five hard surfacetennis courts, a large hard surface field for group sports and extensive turf covered fieldsfor team play and individual games. In addition a running track is being constructed inside Rotary Field. Authorization was also given during the year for the building of a permanent road in front of Crosby and Hayes Halls and for a new extension of this road to pass behind the Engineering Building �3 January, 1949 and to join the entrance to the Heating Plant on Winspear Avenue. These operations, together with the construction of a new two hundred car parking lot in the rear of the Engineering Building, should be completed in September 19-48. Plans for New Buildings* EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS In no other nation is educational progressso little directed from central official source, so largely influencedby the intellectual fertility and initiative of the facultiesof a few dozen schools. This factpresents every one of these institutions with both an obligation and a stimulus. The University of Buffalo long ago accepted its share of the obligation. The facultiesof its several divisions have for many yearsresponded to the stimulus. Indeed, one of the principal bases of the high intellectual morale which has characterized this University has been the absorption of its various faculty bodies in concerted efforts to change and improve the particular type of general or professional education in which they are engaged. a THE UNIVERSITY'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE The Program of Dental Education Chronologically the first of the more important reformslaunched here was the new programof dental education which began to go into effect in 1923- The purposes of this program were to place training for dentistry on the same educational level as training for medicine and to promote closer association and understanding between these two great branches of the healing art which rest upon a common scientificfoundation. The University of Buffalo was the first institution in the country to impose such high requirements upon dental students and to enlist the services of a medical faculty so extensively in their education. Now the pattern set here is followed with variaby most of the stronger dental schools. Our tions, of course original plan has undergone changes as experience has revealed how it could be improved, but in its fundamentalsit has not been changed. It may properly be rated as a successfulexperiment. And locally it has resulted in a noteworthy rapprochement between the medical and dental professions. Requirements for the Degree of A.M. Almost simultaneously with the inauguration of the new dental program the University broke with the prevailing practice of American institutions in the matter of the requirement for the graduate degree of Master of Arts. The University of Buffalo set itself the task of rehabilitating this once honorable testimonial,at least as far as its own graduate and students were concerned. The Faculties of Arts and Sciences of Medicine, which joined in the project, decided that henceforth the A.M. degree awarded here should represent a genuineapprenticeship in scholarship. Formal course requirements and credits were abolished. Instead each candidate was to undertake independently a programof advanced study and research approved by the department in which he was specializing. He must prepare a thesis embodying original investigation and must pass a public oral examination conducted by a faculty committee. The degree was to be awarded solely on the basis of demonstrated scholarly — — competence. This program for the master's degree has now been in effectfor twenty-five years. The University cannot claim that its example has exercised any widespread influenceupon the practices of other institutions. The status of the A.M. degree is still ambiguous and unsatisfactory throughout much of the United States.It is encouraging to note, however,that a number of the stronger universities have recently taken steps to stiffen the requirements for the degree. The Tutorial Plan of the College of Arts and Sciences The variations in the range and quality of the intellectual attainments required by different "standard" institutions of candidates for the bachelor's degree are almost infinite. If the leading colleges of the United Statesagreeupon anything it is upon the importance of making the undergraduate course in liberal arts a *Tkis section of the Report covers the decision to erect the new Law School on the site of the present Law School Building "nil the decision to erect the new Medical-Dental Building on campus, which decisions were reviewed by the Chancellor in the October, 1948. Alumni Bulletin.—(Ed.) stimulating and exacting experience for every student who is permitted to pursue it. The University of Buffalohas devoted a considerable part of its energies at a very considerable financialcost to the task of vitalizing liberal education as conducted by its College of Arts and Sciences.In so far as it has been successful in the task,its success has been due to a combination of factors,one of which has been the organization of the whole scheme of instruction around the so-called tutorial plan which has been in effectfor 17 years and is undoubtedly in the eyes of the educational world the distinguishing featureof the University's College of Arts and Sciences.It is not the only tutorial plan in operation among American colleges, nor was it the first to be established. It differs,however,in a number of respects from any other and consequently represents a special contribution of this university to the galaxy of variants in undergraduate liberal education. It is an interesting fact that the faculty of the College has always expressed by an overwhelming majority continued confidence in the tutorial plan, whenever the plan has come up for reconsideration. The faculty has based its opinion on such evidence as the enthusiastic endorsement of many graduates and many students,the excellent showing of University of Buffalo seniors in national examinations,the generally superior record made by our graduates in the leading graduate schools of the country, and the respectful attention which the plan has commanded in the books and articles which have been written by students of collegiate education. The faculty appears also to believe that the University's scheme of undergraduate instruction embodies more completely than any other plan they could devise the principle of intellectual freedomand that it gives practical force to the major implications of that principle. Furthermore, it seems to be beyond question that the flexibleand dynamic programof our College of Arts and Sciences has reoriented the thinking and exerted a profound and wholesome influenceon all the other divisions of the University. The ProfessionalUnit in Education All states require of candidates for secondary school teaching certificates the completion of certain courses in Education. Prospective teachers usually take the required courses separately and at differenttimes during their undergraduate years. The Schoolof Education came to the conclusion fifteen yearsago that the prevailing method of presenting this body of material lacked vitality and combined the subject matter of the several professional courses into a single unit of which the supervised practice teaching formed — — the core. The Poetry Project The Poetry Project began 12 yearsago in the effort of the Director of the University Libraries to assemble as complete a collection as possible of the working papers and manuscripts of contemporary British and American poets, together with the first editions of their works. It was generously aided by two grants from the Carnegie Corporation which enabled the Director to visit the principal poets of both countries for the purpose of soliciting their cooperation. The collection now contains the work sheets and manuscripts of several hundred poets representing the successive stages in the composition of hundreds of poems, and many first editions. The poetry collection furnishes indispensable material to scholars studying the writngs of any of the poets represented in it. It also offerssuch wealth and variety of illustration of the process of artistic creation as are not available elsewhere. In dealing with requests for microfi'ms and photostats of selections,the Library has properly adopted the principle of lending not selling these reproductions. EDUCATIONAL CHANGES WITHIN THE YEAR Reconsideration of the Tutorial Plan The tutorial plan as originally formulatedcontemplated frequent individual conferences between each upper class student and his tutor in which the student's reading or research would be discussed and the essays he might write would be criticized. It was intended should be the most important part of each that these conferences student's total program,and further that each student should be a substantial amount of such individual instruction. Because assured the tutorial function so conceived demanded a high degree of competence on the part of the tutor, it was to be exercised almost exclusively by teachers of professorial rank. �Aiumni Bulletin 4 As more and more veterans reached the point when they became candidates for tutorial instruction several departments were literally swamped. The experienced members of their respective staffs **ouldnot possibly deal on an individual basis with the crowds of students who selected these subjects as 6elds of concentration. However, the Faculty by a large majority recorded its adherence to the principle of the tutorial method and its determination to continue to employ the method to the utmost practicable extent. The Medical Curriculum Extensive changes in the medical curriculum are in progress. One set of changes represents an effort to bring about a more complete correlation between the basic sciences, which make up the bulk of the work of the first two years,and the clinical subjects. Another set of radical changes is being effectedin the work of the last two years. The junior year has been largely cleared of the heavy load of didactic instruction and juniors are now assigned to the clinical clerkships which were formerly reserved to seniors. The senior year will be henceforththe period in which students receive their outpatient specialty instruction. A third change involves the introduction for the first time of elective work. The Bulletin of the Erie County Bar Association The Schoolof Law has been invited to edit the Bulletin of the Erie Count}- Bar Association. The project will be conducted each year by a group of the highestranking members of the senior class. The Psychological Clinic The demand for clinical psychologists increased beyond all expectation as the result of the experiences of the war. Existing training agencies cannot begin to meet it. The demand is not a temporary phenomenon, but is certain to increase. With the erection of the new Veterans' Hospital and the concentration of veterans' services in this area the local need,already great, for a large and continuing supply of persons trained in this specialty will become acute. The Department of Psychology a year ago announced plans for providing advanced training in clinical psychology. An indispensable instrument in such a training program is a psychological clinic. During the year under review the clinic was organized and provided useful service to the persons applying to it and valuable demonstration practice for the graduate students in psychology. Standings of University of Buffalo Seniors in National Examinations About a decade ago the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching began to develop a series of tests that came to be known as the GraduateRecord Examinations, which would assist schools to select from the manyapplicants for graduate study, those most likely to possess the necessary competence. Our College of Arts and Sciences has required all seniors to take the Examination since 1945. This yearthe record of University of Buffalo seniors was appreciably above the national norms established for both seniors and first year graduate students. In the advanced tests our seniors exceeded the national norms by many points in all departments. Similar records were made by Buffalo students in the preceding years. Standings of Dental Studentsin Aptitude Tests The Council on Dental Education of the American Dental Association is developing aptitude tests which are given to members of the freshmanclasses of ail dental schools. In the last year's tests, the freshman class of the University of Buffalo Dental Schoolranked in the top fifth of the Freshman classes of the country. ACTIONS OF THE COUNCIL AFFECTING THE TEACHING AND ADMINISTRATIVE STAFFS The Faculty Advisory Committee In the summer of 1945 the Chancellorappointed a Committee on the Future of the University. It was then apparent that the University faced a period of expansion and it was believed that a body representing primarily the teaching staff and addressing itself primarily to a study of problems affecting the staff could make valuable contributions to the planning which was then in progress. From the experience of its first two yearsof activity, the Committee that it should came to believe and the Council agreed with it be replaced by a permanent statutory body of similar composition and having the same functions. Accordingly, in February, 1948, the Council passed an amendment to the Rules and Regulations which provided for the creation of a Faculty Advisory Committee, — — the members to be partly elected by the faculty and partly appointed by the Chancellor. Salary Increases In the budget for the year 1946-1947 the Council increased the salaries of all full time teachers by $600., and advanced the salaries of certain positions by additional amounts. The continued rise in living costs had,by the Spring of 1948,negated the advantages received. Moreover, the general upward movement in university salaries was still going on, the University of Buffalo was in an unfavorable position in its efforts to secure or to retain the services of able professors, and it was apparent that another general advance represented the most urgent claim on the University's in salaries resources for the next fiscalyear. The budget presented by the Chancellorto the Council in June 1948, contained a provision for a cost of living adjustmentamounting to fifteen per cent of the base salary of every member of the teaching, administrative,clerical and maintenance staffs who had been in the service of the University for two years or more. Adjustments for those employees joining the University since the spring of 1946 were scaled below fifteen per cent in proportion to the rise in the cost of living since the dates of their respective appointments. The adjustments were budgeted separately from the base salaries and did not, therefore,represent a binding permanent commitment in case the cost of living should decline or in case the University should encounter financialdifficultieswhch might compel it to make economies in the salary roll. Collective Insurance The budget for 1948-1949 carried an appropriation covering the University's share of the cost of a system of collective decreasing group insurance in which all employees of the University are eligible to participate on a voluntary basis. The Director of Alumni Relations In April, 1948,the Committeeon GeneralAdministration created the office of Director of Alumni Relations and, on the recommendation of the GeneralAlumni Board,appointed Talman W. Van Arsdale,Jr., A.B. 1938 and A.M. 1940, to the new position. CONTINUING NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY The principal need of the University continues to be from yearto year the same: More endowment funds. Unrestricted endowment funds, the income from which may be applied to any purpose that the Council maydetermine,are no more usefulthan fundsfor the employment of professorships or of other necessary and permanent items of annual expenditure. The stability of every privately supported university depends in large degree on the possession of a substantial assured income apart from tuition fees. Too large a percentage of the income of the University of Buffalo has always been derived from this latter source. The endowment fundsof the University have grownevery year since 1920. In some years large additions have been made to them. But they remain far too small to serve as a safebacklog for an institution that is looked to for so great a variety of essential services,an institution that has become the focal point of the intellectual and professional life of a large and populous region. Every friend of the University who is considering a gift to it may be assured that by adding to its permanent funds he will make the most helpful kind of contribution to its future strength and usefulness. Our own Alumni Loyalty Fund, of relatively recent origin, has had a most gratifying growth. In the last two years especially the contributions of the graduates to the Alumni Loyalty Fund and the CentennialFund combined have reached a sum that puts our alumni body well up in the list of alumni givers in this part of the country. I cannot too strongly urge the present contributors to continue to make as large annual gifts as they possibly can after their special subscriptions to the CentennialFund are paid. And to those alumni who have not yet become subscribers to the Loyalty Fund I make a special plea that they join in this enterprise which is so essential to the welfare of their alma mater. If the University of Buffalo could count on a yearly flow of alumni contributions at all comparable in amount to those of the last two years,tangible benefitswould appear at once in everydivision. Respectfully submitted, Samuel P. Open. Chancellor. �January, 5 1949 REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER (Abstract) Tc the Councilof the University of Buffalo, The annual report of the Comptroller and Treasurer for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1948 is presented herewith. The continued growth of the University is reflectedin each Exhibit which is annexed to and forms a part of this report. The total operating income of the University for the year 1947-1948 was of which $3,756,066.68, or 94.9% of the total, is 33,956,601.96 represented by income from student fees. Total expenses for the yearunder review were $3,614,197.43. For the second successive year,owing to its heavy enrollment, the University's operating account has maintained a favorableposition. Two very fortunate results have accrued from this favorableposition. In the first place, it has been possible to appropriate from the operating account between June 30, 1947 and June 30, 1948,$523,816.45 toward the completion of the Engineering Building. By this means, and by means of special gifts received for the purpose, the cost of the new Engineering Building which, when completed, will exceed 5i,000,000,has been completely met without invading capital funds for the purpose. In the second place, it has been possible to appropriate from the operating account a further substantial reserve to the Income StabilizationFund to safeguard the financialposition of the University when the heavy veteran enrollment will begin to taper off. The advantages of the present heavy enrollment must be considered to be only temporary and, until adequate endowment funds are provided, the University's financialposition cannot be considered entirely secure. Every effort must be made during these years to maintain a safebalance in its operating position. The following is a comparative table of the Operating Accounts of the University for the fiscal years1945-1946,1946-1947,and 1947-1948: lINLUMh Fees Received from Students Income from Investments.(Net) Infirmary Dental Rental Property Income Miscellaneous Total Income EXPENSE .onstruction of Engineering BuildingCentra' Section Wings (Part) Less—Gifts received for Engineering BIdg 1*45-1946 $1,388,467.27 178,866.30 1,740.00 17,367.21 $1,606,143.57 $3,427,015.58 $3,956,601.96 $ 311,821.51 $ $ 311,821.51 $ 563.598.11 19,702.79 $ S _ _ 172,974.31 13,004.14 1,820.00 12,736.83 614,738.87 99,721.51 336,935.11 1,251,892.60 32,981.44 67,164.63 32,995.57 24,257.58 88,270.83 184,918.81 284,232.01 352,680.87 48,108.77 44,302.48 10,015.10 16,980.77 32,992.16 109,854.32 68,595.89 12,435.17 86,714.03 87,814.00 14,318.39 7,611.87 9,393.79 31,273.22 81,944.34 56.415.96 9,626.32 17,478.76 14,779.20 7,127.85 10,013.20 1,510.85 3,357.83 _ 7,035.53 3,030.00 1,380.60 $ $ 19,870.25 ' 72,397.96 43,506.40 2,760.00 1,109-72 353.47 102,404.66 132,971.62 209,037.84 $1,350,408.14 $ 255,735.43 — $2,886,072.34 2.760.00 - 80,735.43 3,953-15 220,639.05 $3,614,197.43 $ 540,943.24 $ 342,404.53 175,000.00 t 523,816.45 372,732.65 1,612,698.79 23,071.09 62,793.40 55,123.93 Appropriation Deduct for Income Stabilization 22,161.55 541,436.56 .39,781.66 212,100.00 223,777.25 _ let Surplus for Year 1947-1948 $3,756,066.68 175,832.34 14,775.03 1,740.00 22,648.13 Total Expenses of Administration..

The item "Fees received from Students"which had increased by $1,823,552.81 in the year 1946-47,has,during this year under review, enjoyed another considerable increase of $544,046.60 over the preceding year. Every division of the University contributed to this increase. Expenses, likewise,have increased of necessity to keep pace with the additional burdens placed upon both administrative personnel and instructional staff by the greatly increased student enrollment. The chiefincrease in expense during the year underreview occurred in the item "Salariesof Instruction" which was up $360,806.19 over the preceding year. Operation and Maintenance of Buildings likewise increased $68,448.86 over the preceding year. Exhibit "A" is the Balance Sheetof the University for the fiscal yearended June 30, 1948. The assets of the University, as shown on this Balance Sheet,now total $19,078,889.33. These assets are distributed as follows: Endowment Fund Assets $7,274,416.52; CentennialCampaign Fund Assets $853,114.67; Plant Fund Assets $9,016,968.57; and Operating Fund Assets $1,934,389.57. Plant Fund Assets have increased $909,731.28 during the year which ended June 30, 1948,the increase being almost entirely accounted for in the cost of construction of the new Engineering Building. In addition to capital plant improvements, alterations and repairs are going on constantly in all of the University buildings to improve teaching and laboratory facilities. The University buildings are in an excellent state of upkeep and repair. Collectionsof the pledges to the CentennialFund Campaign have been most gratifying. It must be remembered that the pledges to the 1947 campaign fund amountingto $1,655,168.95 were payable, for the fost part, over a period of five years. To June 30, 1948 collections amounted to $963,561.18 or 58.2% of the total amount subscribed. The Treasurer's office is entirely responsible for the collection of these subscriptions. The Alumni divisions of the CentennialCampaign Committee, succeeded in raising about 50% of the it will be remembered, total subscribed to the CentennialFund. That was a remarkable achievement and one in which the Alumni deserve to take great pride. The GeneralAlumni Board and the Alumni Loyalty Fund Committeeare setting their efforts for the future in the direction of building up the Alumni Loyalty Fund to a point worthy of the size and strength of the Alumni body. Through their system of class agents and by means of a Special Gifts Committeewhich they are at work in organizing, they expect to accomplish a plan of sustained annual giving on the part of the Alumni which will be in keeping with their remarkable Centennialeffort and in keeping, moreover, with the increasing size of the Alumni body and the known ability of Alumni to give. OtherUniversities,with Alumni bodies no larger than our own, depend greatly on regular, annual Alumni contributions to supplement their budgeted income. The University of Buffalolooks increasingly to its growing and loyal Alumni body to sustain and promote its financialwelfareand its vital educational endeavors. During the yearunder review,many fine new grants, gifts and bequests have been received for research and scholarship purposes. Suchgrants and gifts are highly important to the University in that they furnish the means of financing research and scientific investigation which the University hitherto has been unable to support because of the lack of funds. Exhibit "D" is a record of the securities held in the University portfolio at June 30, 1948. United States,Stateand Municipal GovernmentBonds,purchased by the University, yielded an average of 2.05% on the actual investment; Foreign GovernmentBonds, 3.83%; Railroad Bonds, 6.67%; Public Utility Bonds, 2.99%; Industrial Bonds, 3.08%; Stocks,excluding gifts, 5.20%. The averageyield on all stocks and bonds purchased and owned by the University, and excluding gifts, was 3.96% for the year. In the faceof the continued low coupon rate on United StatesGovernment Bonds,in which the University portfolio is so largely invested, this yield is exceedingly good. �6 Alumni Bulletin On June 30, 1948, the stocks and bonds in the University portfolio which had been purchased by the University, and excluding gifts, were classifiedas follows, on the basis of market worth: United States,Stateand Municipal and Foreign GovernmentBonds, 44.42%; Railroad Bonds,1.74%; Public Utility Bonds, .86%; Industrial Bonds,.29%; Public Utility PreferredStocks,5.55%; Industrial Preferred Stocks,3.40%; Investment Trust Preferred Stocks,.70%; Railroad CommonStocks,.39%; Public Utility Common Stocks,3.42%; Industrial Common Stocks,22.56%; Bank Capital Stocks,4.78%; Insurance CommonStocks,7.39%; Investment Trust CommonStocks,4.50%. The market value on June 30, 1948 of the stocks and bonds in the University portfolio was 108.14% of their book value, or $526,101.93 in excess of their book value. The Councilof the University has taken decisive measures to keep pace with the immediate needs engendered by the rapid growth of the student body. At a cost of approximately $1,000,000 it has satisfiedthe need for a structure to house the new School of Engineering. It has made the decision to locate on the campus the new Medical-Dental SchoolBuilding, when funds, in prospect for that building, become available. At its meeting on September 24,1948,it authorized proceeding immediately with the construction of a new Law SchoolBuilding which is deemed to be one of the urgent needs of the University. On the campus, in addition to the outdoor playing fields, tennis courts, swimmingpool and other facilitiesto meet the needs of the Department of Physical Education, it provided for the further landscaping of the remaining rough areas of the campus, so that at the moment there remain no undeveloped areas on the 175 acre plot. Beyond these capital improvements, it has satisfiedthe long felt need among the University personnel for a Retirement Fund and for a Group Insurance Plan. In adopting the 1948-1949 budget it approved a cost of living adjustment on salaries throughout the University. It has satisfiedeveryurgent need for increased laboratory space and instructional and classroom facilities. All this the Council has accomplished to keep abreast of the educational demands made upon the University. To consolidate these gains and to move forward to new endeavors is the task immediately confronting the University. Veteran enrollment has already begun to decline. The next few years will see a further decline in veteran enrollment and an inevitable shrinkage in income from student fees. As this shrinkage occurs, the University must seek new sources of revenue to maintain its expanded scale of operations. To the solution of that problem the Council, the Alumni and the friendsof the University must now direct their efforts. Respectfully submitted, George D. Crofts, Treasurer.

Peelle. For that opening, members of the University's original swimming team of and only swimming team up 1924 — — will be invited to until this season return to the campus as honored guests at the ceremony. Completion of the pool marks the final stage of the $200,000 project to provide additional athletic facilities. Other parts of the project included new playing fields, badminton, tennis, and volleyball courts, all constructed in or near Clark Gymnasium. The pool, described as the largest and most modern in Buffalo and one of the best in the country, is 35 by 75 feet and up to 10 feet deep. It has a capacity of 126,000 gallons and has underwater lighting and sterilizing equipment. While the principal funds for the construction came from the Centennial Fund of 1947, the alumni drive of 1938 paid nearly $14,000 of the cost. You are probably one of those loyal alumni who last year and other years has received a letter from your class agent reminding you that it is time to make your annual expression of loyalty to Alma Mater in the form of some amount of money. And you probably say O.K. and fill out a check. But like everyone who gives, you may have just a wee bit of a question in the back of your mind: how is this gift going to be used? Of course, you know there's a need for your individual gift, but just what need will it fill? Well, for one you can glance across the page at the picture of the newly completed swimming pool. Alumni Loyalty Fund money went partly into that project as well as into the other new athletic facilities. And then some of it went into the construction of the new Engineering Building wings, some will be used for the new Medical-Dental Building, the new Law Building, faculty salaries, research,and in other areas of the University's general operating expense. Don't get the idea that the Fund paid the total bills for these projects. No, of course not. The fund isn't that large yet. But the Alunmi Loyalty Fund money was used and will be used to assist in these various projects. As Chancellor Capen said in his Annual Report: "If the University of Buffalo could count on a yearly flow of alumni contributions at all comparable to those of the last two years, tangible benefitswould appear at once in every division of the University". There are, indeed, many needs to be filled by your annual expression of loyalty. 1948 ALUMNI GIFTS Figures as of Dec. 31, 1948 Division Arts and Sciences Business Administration Analytical Chemistry* Dentistry Education* Engineering Law Library Science* Medicine Nursing Pharmacy _ SocialWork FIRST SWIMMING TEAM — 1924 Left lo tight: front row, Emanuel Moss, PhG'27.Howard E.

His citation noted that he is head of the Microwave Section at the National Bureau of Standardsand has developed three types of atomic oscillator circuits, microwave frequency dividers, and spectroscopic filters in the microwave and millimeter radio bands. But what of us poor, untutored laymen? Last year, in Chicago, David Lillienthal of the Atomic Energy Commission stated that one of the most important jobs to be done for atomic energy was "education of the public about the atom; that is, changing fear to respect and ig- norance DR. HAROLD LYONS, '33 Inventor — Atomic energy so significant to this and future generations! What is it? How can it be turned to peaceful uses ? Two alumni have achieved and are continuing to achieve deserved prominence among those working on these problems. One is an inventor; the other, a writer who translates events and progress in the field into terms laymen can understand. It seems difficult to think of the mighty atom as the mainspring of a clock. But and Dr. Harold Lyons, BA'33, could his research culminated in his invention of an "atomic clock", the mainspring of which is actually the motion of atoms. Born and educated in Buffalo, handsome wavy-haired Harold Lyons' first interest in physics was sparked by the inspirational teaching of Louis Masson at Bennett High School. From there he came to the University where, he says, "my work in physics was splendidly advanced under my physics professors."' Next came master's and doctor's degrees in nuclear physics at Michigan and eventual employment with the Govern- .. ment in . Washington. Lyons has been doing research on various projects there for some time. The atomic clock is the first to be publicized. Actually, his invention makes anachronistic the accepted manner of measuring time by astronomers' observations of the earth's rotations. Recent demonstraions of Lyons' clock reveal that the rate of motion of the atoms is so constant as to tell time with a record of accuracy of better than one part in 20 million. And this score is being gradually improved until a potential accuracy of one part in 10 billion may some day be realized. Recognition of the importance of his work came to Harold Lyons this month when he was named co-winner of the first annual Flemming award of the Washington Junior Board of Commerce to understanding". Oneof the answers to Lillienthal's plea has been Robert D. Potter, BS'27. He is that rare combination of scientist and writer who has spent the last several years actively working with the researcher and then reporting in understandable terms "how it was done and what it all means". In order to do this, intense and scholarly Bob Potter has often seemed charged with atomic energy himself. After graduating in physics from the University, Potter went on to do graduate work in that field at Duke University where he received a master's degree the following year. He then came to New York University as an instructor in physics and continued, his research on ultra-short microwaves. Four yearslater, he began writing science articles for the New York Herald-Tribune. In 1934,he helped found the National Association of ScienceWriters and has twice served as its president. In 1939 and 1940,he worked as research assistant to the scientists who were even then splitting uranium atoms and releasing their nuclear energy with the giant atom smasher at Carnegie Institution's Department of Terrestial Magnetism at Washington—work which helped lay the foundation for the wartime Manhattan District and the atom bomb. From 1940 to 1947,he was science editor of the American Weekly, but ATOMIC MEN ROBERT D. POTTER, '27 Interpreter still found time in '44 and '45 to be chairman of the department of general science at New York University. His articles have appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, Reader's Digest, Esquire, and other magazines. He has published two books, The Atomic Revolution and Young People's Book of Atomic Energy; a third, to be published soon, is titled Can You Live To Be One Hundred ? These, and other writings, have won him the American Association for the Advancement of Science'sfirst medal for "distinguished service in science and medical reporting". More recently, Potter has been named consultant to the United StatesSurgeon General and has been doing extensive research and reporting on medical subjects. Unique center of all this production is a pleasant retreat in Scarborough on the Hudson in New York State. Here it is that Robert Potter finds the quiet he needs after returning from lecture tours or on-the-spot researching, and here it is that his widely-published interpre- tative articles are turned out. And with his scientist's sensitivity to exactness, he has appropriately named that retreat "The Wordshop". TWO GIFTS ANNOUNCED Two gifts to the University were announced last month. The will of Mrs. Margaret Berrick Meyer, widow of the late Edward J. Meyer, MD'9l, provided that thirty per cent of her estate, $432,-454,should go to the University for the construction,equipment, and maintenance of a medical research laboratory to be known as the Edward J. Meyer Memorial Laboratory. Also announced was a $5,000 grant from the National Cancer Institute to support laboratory and clinical research in cancer being carried on at the University. �4 Alumni Bulletin Dr. A- Bertram Lemon THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO ALUMNI BULLETIN Published monthly except July, August and September by the University of Buffalo at 3435 Main St., Buffalo 14, N.

The program opens with a business meeting at 9:30 A.M. at which L. Maxat 10 A.M. the scientific program will get under way with W.

Capen presiding and conferring the degrees and certificates,the University graduated its largest midyear class of 541 at the 49th annual midyear commencement, February 22nd,in Kleinhans Music Hall. The class, second only in size to last June's, was composed largely of war veterans. Included in the group were three PhD's and 91 other advanced degrees. Dr. Alvin C. Eurich, president of the new State University of New York and former acting-president of Stanford University, addressed the graduates emphasizing the major role which colleges and universitiw must play in meeting the threat to individual freedom and security brought about by moves toward greater social security. He called on institutions of higher learning to prepare students for jobs from which they will get satisfaction, to develop in them a sense of perspective, to imbue them with a sense of direction, and to arouse an enthusiasm for learning which can continue throughout their lives. P. Capen;Dr. AlvinC. Eurich. The late James McCormick Mitchell, LLB'97, chairman of the University's Council for 11 years, was awarded the Chancellor's Medal posthumously by Chancellor Capen who cited, Mr. Mitchell's "long life of distinguished professional achievement" and his "invaluable service to many of the agencies of our city which are dedicated to its intellectual and spiritual improvement." Dr. Capen stated, in part, "Committed to no political group or group partisanship, dedicated to the free exercise of the mind and to intellectual exploration, the University was to him the great solvent of irrational and divisive prejudices, the active interpreter of those genuinely human values which are the inner substance of American democracy. To spread the understanding of this concept of the University and to increase its power to serve this city and this region on the highest plane of excellence,he was willing to devote all his energy not claimed by professional and family duties and to sacrificehis scanty hours of leisure."

His philosophy was largely developed during his many years of close association with Chancellor Capen The emphasis in his writings on democratic selection followed by individualized treatment of students on the basis of their special talents and interests should prove a bulwark against any assembly-line production of collegetrained robots." - ..

The vital role the dentist plays in prevention and detection was implicit in the address of Herbert L. Traenkle, MD'32, MS(Med)'3B, principal cancer dermatologist at the Institute, who stated: "In addition to cancer of the lips, 88% of all skin cancer occurs on the body area which is more or less in the direct field of vision of the dentist as he works on a patient." At the afternoon session,more than 225 dentists heard Harold A. Solomon, DDS'2B, principal cancer dental surgeon at the Institute, declare: "To be of value in cancer control, the dentist must be able to differentiate diagnostically between the nign and malignant tumors and other lesions.

SPECIES: CLASS AGENT; VITAL TO ALMA MATER "Well, it was good to hear from Skinny again this year, wasn't it ? Wonder how he ever got stuck with that job, being class agent for the Alumni Loyalty Fund?" In the first place, classmate,he didn't get "stuck" with it. He was appointed by the Fund Committeebecause he knows his classmates well and is well-known to them. And, if he hadn't been certain he wanted the job, he wouldn't have been asked to go through with it. You see, it's a pretty important job he has, and the fact that he corresponds regularly each year with his classmates reminding them of their continuing investment and interest in the University has meant much to the growth of the Fund. In fact, he has some fun doing it, too; think of all the news he gets in notes and letters in return! Not that they're looking for it probably quite the contrary but class agents ought to be known to the general alumni body. Any random selection would bring up some interesting personalities and, for a starter, here are two whose names come to mind at the mo- sity awarded him the Chancellor's Medal in 1945. He has served as a member of the University Council, the Board of Meyer Memorial and Buffalo General Russell, '95 Hospitals, Albright Art Gallery, the Advisory Health Board for the City of Buffalo, the Universit Endowment Funds in 1920 and 1929, am the faculty of the University's Schoolo — Karl Smither,PhG'22,seems to do we. he undertakes.

"A man who literally worked his way through the University, who has since served his profession in so many ways and so often anonymously, and who personifiesthe ideals of the professional integrity and service in pharmacy" these are phrases from the citation read by School of Pharmacy's After 25 years ... L. to ft.: William H. Sanford, Edß '49; Louis G. TribuneUa, DDS '30; Larry Zangerle, '52; and Daniel D. Sandier, LLB '26. Formal opening of the new swimming pool and squash courts in Clark Memorial Gymnasium attracted about one thousand people, many of them alumni, according to Director of Atheltics, James E. Peelle. After a tour of all the facilities in the building, guests went to the balcony surrounding the pool to watch varsity swimmers and mermaids in aquatic feats. An intermission in activity at the pool gave the photographer an opportunity to catch the picture above. Bill Sanford is coach of the varsity team and Larry Zangerle is one of his prize performers in the 50 yd. and 100 yd. freestyle. Dr. Louis TribuneUa was a 40 yd. breaststroke specialist on the first team 25 years ago. His teammate and former coach is Daniel D. Sandier who claims he has gained a little weight since he swam the 100 yd. freestyle and did fancy diving some 25 yearsago.

The University is a member of the N.C.A.A. The reasons cited in the resolution supporting the plan emphasize the encouragement of community friendship, loyalty, and support which, the resolution says, many Centennial Fund workers found lacking and attributed at that time to the mediocre teams fielded by the University.

After the Chancellorreceived the petition from the students, he told them that he had not and would not change his policy that athletic scholarships might well impair the scholastic standing of the University. However, the Chancellor did send the petition to the General Administration Committeeof the Council which, in turn, submitted it to the Student Activities Committee of the Council. The latter committee has reported favorably to the GeneralAdministration Committee, and it seems certain that the matter will come before the Council as a whole for action within the next month or two. at �2 Alumni Bulletin ALUMNI NEWS — The York State KDDS 1 Society's Fellowship Jarvie ITEMS '34 MD—Harry Bergman of New York City and an officer in that city's Medical Branch Alumni Club has been certified as a diplomate of the American Board of Urology.

B.-FAMILY" MEMBERS ARE CLASS AGENTS (Part of a Series on Class Agents) There are several "U. B. Families", that is, families whose members have attended the University. And those family members are usually quite active in alumni affairs and in the general interest of the University. Such a family are the Chappelle's. Walter F., Jr., came to the University as a student largely because of his father's continuing interest in his Alma Mater. There wasn't a happier man around Chappelle, '05 Buffalo than Walter F. Sr., DDS '05, when his namesake got his BS in Business Administration in 1935. But his son's leaving the campus didn't change his interest because Walter, Sr., has continued to be active in alumni affairs and particularly as a Class Agent in the Alumni Loyalty Fund. His hobbies of extensive traveling and outdoorsmanship give him additional opportunity to see his classmates in other parts of the country. In fact, he assured himself of comfortable travel and constant accommodations by designing and building his . special lightweight alumi nu m )wn Charles W. Pankow, DDS'39, is ilso a member of a 'U.

But, just in case there's just a bit of doubt in your mind sometimes,here's the word from Webster: alumnus —boy graduate, singular (that is, just one of 'em). alumna —girl graduate, also just one; final "a" is pronounced as it is when boy meets lovely girl-graduate. alumnae —plural of girl-graduate. Forget your Latin: modern pronunciation practice has corrupted it to have the "ac" pronounced like the letter "c". alumni —plural of boy-graduates, as well as plural of boy and girl graduates when they're together. Again, forget the Latin: today the final "i" is pronounced as the letter "i". Above ail, don't pronounce it as the fellow did who telephoned the other day and asked to speak to the "Illumini Office"! �June, 3 1949 ALUMNAE ANNOUNCE NEW OFFICERS DR. CAPEN DISCUSSES STATE-MED SCHOOL ISSUE Ruth P. Blair, BS(Nrs)'44, has the unusual responsibility of heading two alumni organizations for 1949-50. Besides heading the Nursing Alumnae,she is also the new presthe Alumnae iation. Her felofficers are: s Matheis BA'42, viceent; Anne K. Sauter, BS(Bus)'3B, The Trustees of the StateUniversity of New York are charged by the act creating the University with the duty of planning for the establishment of two medical centers. One of these is to be located in the metropolitan area and one upstate. The centers may be new foundations, or they may be built on and around existing medical schools. The Trustees may, at their discretion, arrange to take over and operate the medical school and allied divisions of a private university ; or they may enter into a contract with a private university under which the State and the university would jointly contribute toward the establishment of the medical center and would jointly participate in its operation. The officers of the University of Buffalo believe that Buffalo is the most favorable upstate location for a medical center. It has the largest and the population within easy most varied commuting distance. It has the largest supply of clinical material. The Dental Schoolof the University is the only approved dental school in the State and the only upstate school. Both the Medical Schooland the Dental Schoolcould be speedily doubled in size if the necessary financial assistance were provided. Both have hospital affiliations to support such expansion. Two other upstate institutions have offered to transfer all the assets of their medical schools to the Stateunconditionally, should the State choose to select either one of them as the nucleus for the upstate medical center. The Council of the University of Buffalo has informed the Trustees of the State University that it would be glad to negotiate with them concerning the location of the center here on the following terms: 1. The University would contribute toward the erection of a Medical-Dental School building funds subscribed or willed to it for this purpose, as far as this is legally possible and subject to the consent of subscribers and executors. 2. It would offer the StateUniversity such acreageon its campus as would not interfere with the future needs of other divisions of the University of Buffalo. 3- It would expect to retain the name of the University of Buffalo in the designation of the center. 4. It would expect to participate in the administrative control of the institution. 5. It would insist on the preservation of the tenure rights of members of the faculties of the schools which are incorporated in the center.

Long, MD"B2, treated his first patient in more than 40 years of medical practice. However, as he often said, his first love was teaching the future doctors, and he gave "about 120 years" of service to his University as a teacher in the School of Medicine (28 years), School of Dentistry (50 years), School of Pharmacy (42 pears). He began teaching in 1884 and be was the only sur*i ing memoer or * the original faculties of the Pharmacy and Dental Schools. His fields were toxicolLong, 82 ogy ana matena medica. Dr. Long died May 31st at his home 89th birthday. Chancellor Capen said in tribute to Dr. Long: "In the death of Dr. Long, the University has lost one of its most faithful servants. His association with the University extended over a 70-year period, two thirds of the University's life. "Throughout this time, he was a keen student, effective and beloved teacher, a loyal alumnus. Thousands of physicians, dentists, and pharmacists have known and have felt his influence and have profited by it. The University mourns a devoted son and a fine teacher." .... DID YOU MAKE THE HONOR ROLL? Alumni have recently received the Honor Roil of the Alumni Loyalty Fund which lists the names of givers in 1948. No doubt you looked at the total number of givers and the total amount given. You read there that 2,517 alumni gave $140,208.96 during 1948 to insure the further progress and stability of their Alma Mater. Undoubtedly you looked at your class list, *00, and read there the names of classmates who had given. You must have noticed that the amount of the gift was not listed. There's a reason for that because, while the amount of the gift is important, more important is the fact that every alumnus should give and share in the pride of continuing interest and investment in Alma Mater.

UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO HOMECOMING �2 Alumni Bulletin STATE MED GOES TO SYRACUSE ENGINEER ALUMNI PLAN DINNER trustees of the StateUniversity of York last June selected Syracuse University's Medical School as the site of the StateUniversity's upstate medical center. Dr. Oliver C. Carmichael,trustees' chairman, announced at that time that it was hoped "negotiations might be concluded so that we can take over the college there in September." Dr.Carmichaeladded that the StateUnivercommit- First formal meeting of the Engineering Alumni Association,since their organization last June, will be a dinner meeting scheduled for Wednesday evening, October 19, at 7 P.M., in the University Post VFW at Delaware and SummerStreet in Buffalo. Raymond U. Wopperer, '49, president, and his officers will be in charge of the meeting which is characterized as "a very informal get-together to coordinate future Engineering alumni activities". Dorothy J. Gracz, '49, is dinner chair- The New Rstee" recommend- ull study of grants-in-aid . Taylor, state ately-supportof ligher learning in ;d '24 institutions he state. Erroneous impresions of many alumii as to the Univerit y of Buffalo's stand on the selection of the site of medical school prompted Chancellor Samuel P. Capen's article in the June, 1949, Alumni Bulletin, in which he affirmedthe belief that Buffalo represented the most favorable upstate location for a medical center. However, Dr. Capen went on to list the terms under which U. B. was interested in having the center here. They were, briefly, that funds subscribed and willed to the erection of the new Medical School would be used subject to the consent of subscribers and executors, that space on the campus would be contributed only to the exten that it did not interfere with the futur needs of the University, that the name o the University of Buffalo would be re tained in designation of the center, tha U. B. would participate in the admin istrative control of the center, and tha U. B. would insist on preservation o tenure rights of members of the facultie of the schools incorporated in the cente Reporting to the GeneralAlumni Boar< at its September meeting, W. Pierc Taylor, MD'24, president of the medica alumni, said, "The interest of the medica alumni in" the University's attitude wa pronounced, not only in the mails but i the attendance at the meeting to discus the impending decision. However, I am convinced that the majority of the medica alumni agreed with the terms whic the Chancellor outlined in his article 1 the Alumni Bulletin." At the same occasion,Myron A. Roberts, DDS'3O, president of the dental alumni, stated, "At the time the issue was raised, there were many erroneous impressions about U. B."s stand. I feel I can speak for the dental men when I say that they agreed with the Council's terms as outlined by the Chancellor." man. President Wopperer also announced that Engineering alumni have been invited to attend the meetings scheduled by the Engineering Society at the University. First meeting will be held November 2 at 8 P.M. in Norton Hall when W. E. Irish, editor of Industrial Equipment News, will speak on '"New Industrial Things in Engineering". CLASS AGENT INITIATES BEQUEST — perhaps it They met now and then was social this time and business that time. But, inevitably, one or the other would mention their Alma Mater, the University of Buffalo. The older gentleman had many pleasant reminiscences; the younger had some news about what was going on at the campus. As a matter of fact, the younger mentioned frequently the contact he maintained with his own classmates and the University as a class agent in the Alumni Loyalty Fund. And, of course, conversation like that led to talk about the alumni's abiding investment in the University. Well, possibly only these two gentlemen, the older and the younger, might ever have known about these conversations. But, this summer, a letter came to the University and enclosed was a check for $1,400 from the trustees executing the will of the late Peter C Cornell, MD'BB. A part of the letter says:"We understand that as an alumnus of the University of Buffalo, Dr. Cornell always took a keen interest in its activities and that through contact with Richard A. Zimmerman,BS(Bus)'43. on numerous occasions,he was kept in touch with its affairs." The letter goes on to mention that Dr. Cornell knew that Mr. Zimmerman was a class agent for the Loyalty Fund. The implication is obvious: the class agent (and every individual alumnus), to the extent that he is an interested alumnus, projects his influence farther than he may realize and affects in proportion the growth of Alma Mater. DENTAL ALUMNI MEET NOV. 8-10 Annually one of the most successful and distinguished of alumni divisional activities, the Dental Alumni Association's 47th meeting and clinic will be held for three days in Hotel Statler. November 8, 9, and 10. An impressive professional and social program has been arranged by a large committee under the direction of Myron A. Roberts, DDS'3O, president, and his fellow officers. Opening talk on Tuesday, November 8, will be presented by Dr. Kurt Thoma of Boston, Mass., on Oral Surgery 11. \fter the executive dinner on "The Present Status of Caries Roberts, '30 Control Research". On Wednesday November 9, Dr. Robert Hardy of Tufl College, opens the program speaking o "Denture DUemnas". The annual alumn luncheon occurs at noon in the Statle ballroom, followed by a symposium on "Practice Management" presented by George D. Greenwood, DDS'I6, and Joseph L. Guzzetta, DDS'I7, both of Rochester. At 7 P.M., the annual banque and class reunion will be held. Thursday program will open with Dr. Ernest 1 Nuttali of the University of Marylan speaking on "Crown and Bridge Prosthe sis for the GeneralPractitioner", followe by an afternoon talk by Dr. Irving Glicl man of Tufts College on "The So-Callet Conservative and Radical Treatment o Periodontal Disease Are They Reall Separate Entities?"

The total enrollment for this academic year is 10,761students, only 240 fewer than last year. Said Dean of Administration ClaudeE. Puffer, "The enrollment is still about two and one half times the prewar size and our decrease is much less than at most schools, largely because of the steadily increasing enrollment of recent high school graduates". Some 1,200 campus freshmen and 200 transfer students participated in a weeklong program of orientation events chairmaned by Alumni Director Van Arsdale and directed by a committee of 100 students and faculty. The freshman "dinks" appeared again for the first time since the war and the youngest to the oldest (he's a 43-year old former Navy lieutenant) frosh apparentlythought it a good idea. 4 Grants Awarded Grants recently awarded the University include one for $26,000 from the federal Public Health Service to the School of Medicine which will enable Dr. W.

According to Dr. Thorn, the clinic located in Crosby Hall will seek to "aid people who are suffering from such speech defectsas stuttering, articulatory problems (such as lisping), foreign accents, speech difficulties associated with hearing loss or cerebral palsy or cleft palate, voice problems related to pitch, quality, or volume, and aphasia, which is a disturbance of language functionsdue to brain damage." ProfessorStanley D. Travis, head of the drama and speech department, under which the clinic operates, stated that "the University expects to expand the staff soon and ultimately to train students in the field of speech therapy for there is a great need for such personnel." Against Commie Teachers .. Interviewed after publication recently of the National Education Asosciation's whether members of the Communist Party should be allowed to teach in American schools,ChancellorSamuel P. Capen stated: "I am in agreement that membership in the Communist Party is incompatible with the proper performance of the duties of a teacher in an American educational institution. My position is based on the fact that the program of the Party is antagonistic to the principles of individual libertyand the determination of public policy by the democratic processes; and the further fact that a member of the Communist Party is not free to form his own opinions on the basis of the available evidence, but must follow the prescriptions of a party line dictated by Communist headquarters abroad. I would not knowingly recommend a member o'f the Communist Party for appointment to a teaching position at the University of Buffalo." report on ALUMNI PLACEMENT placement service is available to all graduates and former students of the University, the Personnel Office announced recently. Such service is confidential and there is no charge. Job Alumni interested should write or telephone the Personnel Office, Hayes Hail, Room 172.

These I was teaching school in Wisconsin, when I decided upon Medicine as my life-vocation. I resigned my position at once and started East in search of a firstclass Medical College. I stopped at Buffalo where my sister then lived, and was introduced to her family doctor Dr. Julius F. Miner.

In the midst of "Merry Christmas"and "Ring out the old; ring in the new", it may be a sobering fact to think of the tax-man waiting just a few weeks away. But it's inescapable. December 31st means the end of the income-taxable year, too. And, therefore, December 31st is the last date you can write on a check and have the amount deductible from the 1949 income tax. The bright part of the matter—and the one which may restore the holiday spirit for those who are a bit dismal at this point in the column—is that individual's gifts to educational institutions are deductible from the income tax up to 15% of the adjusted gross. All of which is by way of saying: if possible, date your Alumni Loyalty Fund check onor beforeDecember 31st, to have it deductible from the 1949 tax. 1949 ALUMNI GIFTS figures as or iNovemDer in, Totals lyty _ _ No. of Division Donors Arts & Sciences 101 Business Administration 61 Analytical Chemistry* 3 Dentistry 201 Education* 30 Engineering 3 Law 99 Library Science* 5 Medicine 297 Cursing 21 Pharmacy 102 Jocial Work 9 Faculty (Non-alumni) 3 Evening Session 22 Misc. 3 -- $ ----- Amount 962.00 425.00 25.00 4,046.50 169-50 12.00 2,859.00 23.00 12,299.50 285.00 1,249.50 62.00 30.00 241.00 540.00 960 $23,229.00 only those without other degrees from the University of Buffalo. �2 Alumni Bulletin REPORT OF THE CHANCELLOR (Abstract) To the Councilof the University I have the honor to submit the the academic year 1948-1949. of Buffalo; report of the Chancellorfor GENERAL SUMMARY AND FORECAST Another Period of Transition In the year under review the inflated post-war enrollment reached its peak. The total for the year was 13,563. Of these 6,999were veterans. Next year's enrollment will probably be at least 10% smaller, and from then on the decline will continue until the last beneficiariesof the so-called G. I. Bill of Rights have finishedtheir courses. The University, therefore,now faces another period of transition, the third within the short span of nine years. Financial Soundness At no previous moment in its history has the University's financialposition been so satisfactory. It has no debts. It has not had an operating deficit for seventeen years. Its two excellent new buildings and the other recent additions to its physical facilities are either already paid for or will be paid for out of funds in hand as soon as the work of construction is completed. It has also built up an Income Stabilization Fund of 51,000,000, which is designed as a reserve to cover the disparities between income and operating expenses which are almost certain to occur during the process of adjustment to the expected normal level of enrollment after the veteran students have departed. From the fragmentary information at hand it would appear that the University of Buffalo occupies momentarily an almost unique position in this respect among the endowed universities of the East. It would be flattering to our self-esteemif we could attribute the present favorable situation of the University of Buffalo entirely to the wisdom and efficiency of its Council and administrative officers. But it must be admitted that certain other unexpected happenings have contributed to the result. Chief among these was the distribution among the classes and divisions of the University of the thousands of veteran students. The overwhelmingmajority of veterans entered as freshmenand sophomores. The greatest concentrations were in the College of Arts and Sciences,the Schoolsof Business Administration and Engineering, and Millard Fillmore College. As a consequence, this institution was obliged, during the years of heaviest enrollment,to make only relatively small additions to its existing provisions for the more expensive forms of advanced instruction. Thus it could accumulate substantial savings against the demands of the succeeding years. For the other principal factor in the situation the Council and administrative officers mayclaim full credit. This was the decision, taken by the Council in 1946 with the concurrence of the deans,temporarily to limit the intake of new students veterans and non-veterans alike almost exclusively to residents of Western New York; and to make no attempt to erect or purchase student residences. The decision relieved the University of one of the most burdensome emergencyexpenses incurred by the majority of New York institutions. At the same time it allowed the University of Buffalo to accept a far larger increment of veterans in proportion to its size than any other institution in the State, since all of our available resources could be devoted to the extension and remodeling of the educational plant and equipment, and to the provision of additional teaching personnel. Regional Needs Met All divisions, except the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Law, have been able to accept all qualified veterans from the Western New York area who applied for entrance. A large excess of applicants over available places has long been a chronic condition in Schools of Medicine and Dentistry; and not only here but throughout the country. Only the Schoolsof Pharmacy and Law have been obliged, for lack of accommodations,to deny admission to any qualified veteran resident of this region; and the number of would-be students of pharmacy and law who had to be turned away is insignificant in comparison with the total veteran enrollment. When the Council adopted the policy of geographical limitation, it did so in the belief that the University has a special obligation to this region whose citizens have created and supported the institution. It can now take satisfaction in observing how nearly the full demands of the region for the University's services have been met in this period of unprecedented pres- — — on so sure. It may confidently assume that this contribution, large a scale,has led to a wider appreciation of the University throughout its natural constituency. The fund of good will which has thus been built up should be productive of increased support in the future. Physical Facilities During the last three years the University's physical properties have been extensively added to and improved. The Engineering Building, one of the largest and most beautiful structures on the campus, has been completed and provided with the essential equipment. The handsome and commodious new Law SchoolBuilding on the site of the old school is in process of erection and will be ready for occupancy at the beginning of the fall semester of 1949. Each building is judged to be adequate to meet the presently foreseeable needs of the division it is to serve. The long-standing deficiencies in equipment for physical education and athletics have now been made good. Additional Building Needs Severalmajor deficienciesremain, however. The most conspicuous of these, as the Council is aware, is the lack of appropriate quarters for the Schoolsof Medicine and Dentistry. The new building, for which plans have been prepared and for the erection of which a large part of the necessary funds has been raised, should be built with the least possible delay. Aside from the present medical and dental buildings, the only obsolete structure now in use is Townsend Hall. As the headquarters of the Treasurer's Office, Millard FUlmore College, the School of Social Work and the School of Nursing, it is crowded to the absolute limit of its capacity. It is altogether inadequate in size,and is also defective in interior arrangements which no further ingenuity can improve. Its replacement by a much larger modern building represents one of the crying physical needs of the University. In the second line of urgency,but still greatly needed,is at least one more building on the campus. Space for laboratories, classrooms and offices has, of course, been painfully insufficient during the high tide of the veteran enrollment. Members of the Council, have, no doubt, believed that with the subsidence of the veteran flood the existing buildings would easily and satisfactorily accommodate the campus divisions. This does not now appear to be the prospect. Oncemore I should like to remind the Council of the desirability of residence halls. The decision not to provide living quarters duringthe abnormal period through which the University is now passing was undoubtedly wise. But I am sure that the Council does not intend it to serve as a precedent to govern future action. The high standing of certain of the divisions of the University has already brought to it many students from outside the commuting area. Other prospective aplicants have been discouraged from attending by the lack of student residences. When the new Medical-Dental Building is erected there wil! be an even greater demand for dormitory accommodations. And, of course, the solidarity of the student body would be much enhanced by the presence on the campus of even a modest nucleus of resident students. Small risk seems to be involved in the erection of dormitories on a self-liquidating basis. At any rate, many institutions have embarked on such a program with apparently satisfactory results. I believe that the Council should request the Committee on Buildings and Grounds to report on the feasibility of similar action by the University of Buffalo. FUTURE DEMANDS FOR EDUCATIONAL SERVICES The University of Buffalo is an urban university. Its Council and Faculties are fully aware of the primacy of its obligations to the metropolitan district of Buffalo. They are committed, and gladly committed,to the development of the utmost possible integration with all the cultural and scientificagencies of this district, and to rendering the maximum educational service to the community whose name the University bears. But the University of Buffalo is also a regional university. It stands at the focal point of a large territory, a territory which overlaps the international boundary and which contains many towns and small cities. The total population of the territory is upwards of a million and a half. The University is the only institution in the region which offers training for all of the principal professions, together with facilities for graduate study �December, 3 1949 in the arts and sciences. Because of its accessibility, as well as its growing repute, residents of the region in increasing numbers are looking to this institution for advanced education,for scientificresearch, and for the special intellectual services which a university can appropriately perform. This fact, plus the changing incidence of demand for the several types of higher education,should enter into the Council's estimates of what will be required of the University in the years immediately following the exit of the veterans, and of the probable size of its several divisions. Enrollment Prospects Summarized In substance,four divisions of the University, namely the Schoolsof Medicine,Dentistry, Social Work and Nursing, are unlikely to be reduced in size by the departure of the veterans. In the year under review these divisions enrolled 806 full time and 528 part time students. Very cautious estimates place the post-veteran enrollment of four other divisions at the following levels: College of Arts and Science 1200, School of Business Administration 550, School of Engineering 500, Schoolof Law 200; a total of 2450. The size of the three remaining day divisions, namely, the Graduate Schoolof Arts and Sciencesand the Schoolsof Education and Pharmacy, cannot be predicted with any assurance. But it is safe to assume that their combined enrollments will be at least 350 full time and 250 part time students. The foregoing figures 'give a prospective total of approximately 4400 for the day divisions, of whom at least four fifths will be full time students. Millard Fillmore College enrolled 6283 part time students in the year under review. It is highly improbable that its enrollment will hereafter drop below 5000. Comparison with Pre-War Sizeof the University The largest pre-war total enrollment (including the Summer Sessionwhich is not included in the estimates offered above) was 5285. This was the figure for the year 1939-1940. The day divisions then enrolled 1928 and Millard Fillmore College 3296. Setting these last two figures against the estimates here presented produces the following interesting exhibit: Peak of Estimated Pre-War Post-War Enrollment Normal Level 4400 Day Divisions 1928 Millard Fillmore College 3296 5000 5224 Total 9400 Enrollment and Income Privately endowed universities, even the richest, depend largely for their support upon the feespaid by students. The University of Buffalo is not one of the richest institutions, and it has always been obliged to rely on student fees for a larger percentage of its annual income than have the more heavily endowed universities. In the years before the war approximately 80% of its income came from this source. Although the University's endowment funds have increased substantially in the last decade,the income produced by them has by no means kept pace with the growth in the size of the University's operations Now more than 90% of its income comes from student fees. The Council hardly needs to be reminded that in these years of temporarily inflated enrollments the officers charged with preparing the annual budgets have been at pains to see that the permanent commitments of the University shall not outrun its probable future income. THE NEXT STAGE IN THE UNIVERSITY'S DEVELOPMENT Medical and Dental Schools Of all the educational obligations which the University faces none other is so imperative as the necessity for improving the facilities and enla/ging the scope of the Medical and Dental Schools. Indeed, action directed toward this end will brook no delay. Not only do these schools need new quarters at once, but the outlays for teaching and research must also be greatly increased. The appropriations made for the basic science departments which serve both schools have been insufficient to provide the requisite number of full time teachers;and, because of the inadequate salary scale, these departments have been seriously handicapped in their efforts to fill the vacancies that have occurred. Neither school has been in a position to employ as many full time clinical teachers as it should have. Appropriations for research have been insufficient. If these statements seem to imply that the University has been niggardly in the support of these schools,this has not been for lack of appreciation of their necessities but only for lack of funds. And actually the appropriations—constituting permanent commitments—made for the regular activities of the Medical School have been increased annually for the last four years at a rate exceeding the rate of the increases granted for similar purposes to other divisions. The budget of the Medical Schoolhas,in fact, doubled within five years, and the size of the school has remained the same. The problems presented by the requirements of these two schools are not ours alone, if that is any consolation. They are faced by every university which offers medical and dental education. There is a fair chance that the Universities which conduct medical and dental schools will soon receive from the Federal Governmentgrants of a certain number of dollars (the amounts proposed rangefrom $300. to S1000.) for each student enrolled. There is also the possibility that the privately supported medical and dental schools of New York may receive Statesubsidies to help them carry their operating expenses. But even if assistance from either or both of these sources should materialize, the burden of financing medical and dental education will not be entirely lifted. The enterprise will remain a heavy deficit producing operation. For the University of Buffalo the indications are plain. Two of its schools which have rendered distinguished and indispensable service to this region and to the country, one of them the oldest division of the University, require at once not a little but a great deal more support. The situation demands the most serious consideration by the Council of the University its alumni and its friends. GraduateStudy Oneunavoidable result of the advancement of knowledge and the adaptation of new scientific discoveries to the techniques of civilization is the prolongation of the period required to fit persons to practice many of the expert callings. For some years graduation from college, or from an undergraduate professional school, has represented the indispensable minimum foundation for most careers involving intellectual activities. Graduatestudy, even the attainment of a degree beyond the bachelors degree, is now essential for those who wish to qualify as specialists in any one of a large number of callings. Opportunities for graduate study fall into two general categories. One category comprises the offerings of professional schools,such as schools of medicine, law, engineering and business administration. These offerings tend to concern themselves with strictly technical knowledge and its direct application to some specialty within the profession. The other category of graduate study as a rule consists of the offerings of a separate division of the university; often called the GraduateSchoolof Arts and Sciences,or simply the Graduate School. The graduate school usually embraces the several non-professional departments of learning: Mathematics, Physics, English, History, Physiology, etc. A student in the graduate school pursues a course of advanced study exclusively or chiefly in a single department. Most of the professional schools of the University of Buffalo offer graduate work, and the demand for the enlargement of their offerings is urgent. To meet it will require greater outlays for equipment and teaching services than the University has thus far been able to afford. But the position of the Graduate Schoolof Arts and Sciences calls for the special, and I believe the early, attention of the Council. The School is ten years old. (Prior to its establishment, however, the College of Arts and Sciences for a number of years offered opportunities for graduate study in a few departments.) Its enrollment remained comparatively small until the coming of the veterans, but during the last three years the growth has been phenomenal. In the year under review 426 students were pursuing courses under its direction. Still larger numbers are expected next year. But the limitation of laboratory facilities in the natural sciences has prevented the Schoolfrom accepting all the applicants for work in these fields and will continue to restrict the enrollment. The development of the GraduateSchool of Arts and Sciences throws light on both the local and regional responsibilities of the University. The majority of those it enrolls are part time students. They cannot undertake graduate study unless they are able at the same time to earn part or all of their livelihood, and to live at home. If this School were not easily accessible,they would have to forego advanced education. A careful study recently made by the Faculty Advisory Committee analyzes the regional appeal of the GraduateSchool of Arts and Sciences. The Committeebelieves that the following conclusions are warranted: (1) that the regional demand for �4 Alumni Bulletin graduate work is only partly a product cf the presence in the region of the large group of veterans with G. I. entitlements; (2) that the demand comes from those seeking to qualify as specialists in industry, in the civil service and in the higher rangesof teaching; (3) that it will continue to increase;and (4) that the University of Buffalo could shortly expect a graduate student body of some seven hundred, if the requisite physical equipment and teaching staff could be provided. The necessary provision would be expensive. Graduate education is, next to medical and dental education,the most expensive instruction offered by universities. Large library resources are essential. In the laboratory sciences much costly equipment and large areas of floor space are needed. And above all a staff of teachers active in productive scholarship and adequate in number is required. The present faculty of the -University of Buffalo meets the requirement with respect to intellectual quality and productivity, but not with respect to numbers. Even with the present enrollment the graduate work of several departments is carried on only at the expense of an unjustifiable overloading of some of the University's most distinguished professors. THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK Higher education in the State of New York is provided by them privately controlled and supported by private funds, some of them supported and of by City controlled the New York, and some supported and controlled by the State. All told there are 87 of these instiThirty-two tutions. are State supported. These Stateinstitutions are almost exclusively concerned with furnishing facilities for professional or semi-professional education. The 87 higher institutions, public and, private, are members of that unique entity, the University of the Stateof New York, which embraces all the schools of the State, elementary, secondary and higher, and is governed by the Board of Regents. For a number of years it has been apparenFthat the existing provisions for higher education within the Stateare insufficient in certain fields of study and in certain geographical areas to supply the needs of the people; and that many of the ablest young persons find the costs of the available facilities prohibitive. As a consequence, the Legislature has frequently been petitioned (a) to increase the Statescholarship appropriations, or (b) to create new State operated professional schools,or (c) to set up in some locality a complete Stateuniversity on the model of the state universities of other states. an aggregation of institutions,some of The Temporary Commissionon the Need for a StateUniversity In response to the;e representations the Legislature, in 1946, authorized the appointment of a Temporary Commissionon the Need for a StateUniversity. After a two year intensive study the Commissionreported its findings. The report presented an analysis of the higher educational situation in the State, pointed our the fields in which there is the most serious shortage of facilities, and recommended the establishment of a State University. The StateUniversity, as conceived by the Commission"should be comprised of widely distributed and greatly expanded facilities throughout the State which, in conjunction with existing private and public institutions, should provide a completely rounded and adequate program of higher education." It should be set up within the University of the Stateof New York. A temporary Board of Trustees,subject to the general supervision of the Board of Regents, should be created and be charged with the initial development and operation of the State University and with the preparation of plans for its future expansion. It will be seen that what the Commissionproposed was a decentralized public university made up of many geographically separated units, most of which would serve primarily their own localities. It should be directed by a central coordinating authority which should relate the offerings of these units to each other and dovetail them into the offerings of the private institutions. The State University should not compete with or supplant the private institutions, but should supplement them and where necessary assist them. It was a statesmanlike concept, in full harmony with the State'seducational traditions. The Commission's studies revealed that the most critical present deficienciesare in the fields of medical, dental and nursing education; in post-high school education,both general and technical, such as can be provided by two year community colleges; and in certain types of teacher education. The studies also indicated that within a few years additional four year colleges may be needed in some regions, and that the State might be required to provide additional or expanded facilities for graduate education and research. The StateUniversity Act The Legislature acted on the Commission'sfindings immediately. At the 1948 session it passed an act establishing the StateUniversity of New York to consist of the existing State institutions and contract colleges and of such additional units as might later be created by the Stateor operated for the State under contract; and providing for the appointment of a temporUniversity. ary Board of Trustees of 15 members to govern theof the TemThe act follows in general the recommendations to set terms it directs the Trustees porary Commission. In formulate plans and make recommendations designed to repair to, studies had shown the deficiencieswhich the Commission's be most serious. First amongthese is the shortage of training facilities in medicine,dentistry, nursing and public health. To remedy this shortage the act specifically authorizes the Board to "formulate plans and make recommendations for the establishment of two health and medical centers as part of the State University. Such centers may include facilities for schools of medicine,dentistry, nursing, public health and such other programsand activities as may be necessary.One of such centers shall be located in or as close to the city of New York as may be feasible and the other in some area of the Stateat least one hundred miles distant from the city of New York. Provisions for a new school of veterinary medicine shall be included in one of such centers. The establishment of such centers may be accomplished by the acquisition, absorption or expansion of existing medical training facilities or by the establishment of new facilities or by the extension of financial assistance or grants to existing institutions pursuant to agreements for the expansion of facilities in such institutions." The Board of Trusees of the StateUniversity was appointed by the Governor in the summer of 1948. Soonafter its organization the Board addressed itself to the urgent problem or the creation of the two medical centers. It appointed from its membership a special Committeeon Medical Education Centers to study the problem and to recommend a course of action. Location of the StateMedical Centers The Long Island College of Medicine was the only institution in the New York City area to request to be included in the StateUniversity program. The Committeefinally recommended that the metropolitan center be built around that school. Three institutions asked to be considered by the Committee in its determination of the appropriate location of the upstate center. These were the Albany Medical College, Syracuse University and the University of Buffalo. The trustees of Albany and Syracuse offered to transfer to the State without reservation all the assets and any existing liabilities of their respective medical schools. The University of Buffalo's Proposal* The University of Buffalo, in proposing that the upstate center be organized around its Medical and Dental Schools, made substantial offers of land and funds toward the project, but reserved the right to negotiate with the Trustees of the State University concerning certain aspects of its association with that institution. Syracuse Chosenas Site of Medical Center On June 16, 1949, the Committee on Medical Education Centersreported to the Trustees of the State University. It recommended that the Medical School of Syracuse University be absorbed into the StateUniversity system and that the upstate medical center be developed around that institution. The Trustees adopted the recommendation. StateAid for Medical Education Besides authorizing the Trustees of the State University to make plans and recommendations for the establishment of two medical centers, the Act creating the University specifically stated that "State financial assistance may be provided for designated shares of capital expenditure or operating expenditures (a) medical schools,research centers and or both'to similar institutions or facilities operating specified training or research programs or projects pursuant to contract with the StateUniversity." I believe that the Council should explore the possibility of securing State assistance as outlined in this provision. I recommend that it seek Stategrants to assist the University to erect the proposed Medical-Dental Building without delay, and to aid the University in carrying the increasing annual operating costs of the Medical and Dental Schools. Respectfully submitted, SamuelP. Capen, Chancellor * The University's proposal was fully outlined by the Chancellor in an article appearing in the June, 1949, Alumni Bulletin. Additional copies are available upon request to the Alumni Office, Crosby Hall, Buffalo14, .V. y-.~(Ed.) �5 December, 1949 REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER (Abstract) To the Councilof the University ofBuffalo: The annual report of the Comptroller and Treasurer for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1949 is presented herewith. Four years ago the first impact of the great influx of veterans to the University of Buffalo made itself felt. Almost overnight the University was forced to expand its facilities to several times their normal size in order to accommodate the unprecedented enrollment of veterans which reached its crest of 6455 in the fall of 1947. That period of expansion was a difficult period for colleges and universities,generally, and for the University of Buffalo, in particular. Following so closely, as it did, the end of the war, it gave the University little time to prepare any long range program of expansion. A greatly enlarged teaching staff had to be procured with the utmost speed; laboratories had to be improvised overnight; scientific equipment and supplies had to be obtained in the face of critical war time shortages which made it difficult always to get goods and materials. Greatly to the credit,however, of the teaching staff and the administrative officers of the University, the task of accepting and training the veterans was accomplished. Today, having completed their courses of training, they are moving out. The exodus is somewhat more slow than was the influx of four yearsago, but the results to the University may prove even more unsettling. In many respects, the years of heavy G. I. enrollment have been fortunate years for the University of Buffalo financially. In the first place, the University was not forced to build or buy either permanent or temporary housing facilities to take care of its out of town veterans. Accommodations in the vicinity were found for both married and unmarried veterans and the University was, therefore,spared the necessity of erectingcostly temporary dormitories or ugh/ barracks on its campus. Eventually, of course, and perhaps very soon, the University must have dormitories on the campus, one for men and one for women. Fortunately, they can now be planned to fit the long range needs of the University, rather than improvised hastily to meet the abnormal conditions of the post war years. In the second place, the University's income from student feeshas been in excess of its operating costs for four successive years. With the surpluses of these four years the University has built its Income StabilizationFund to $1,000,000 as at June 30, 1949. This Fund should insure stability to the University's operations during the period when enrollment will have settled back to normal proportions and when income from student feesmayno longer suffice to cover the operating costs to which the University is presently committed. Furthermore,the capital expenditures which the University made during this period of expansion were necessarysteps in the growth and progress of the institution and were accomplished almost entirely by financing out of the operating surpluses of these years, without invading capital funds for the purpose. The following is a comparative table of Operating Income and Expense of the University for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1947,June 30, 1948 and June 30, 1949.

Total income for the year 1948-1949 was $4,062,461.78, an increase of $105,859.82 over the preceding year. Total expense for the year 1948-1949 was $3,522,079-21, or a decrease of $92,118.22 under the preceding year. If, however, we eliminate from the preceding year the partial cost of Construction of the Engineering Building of $523,816.45, which is in reality a capital expense, and compare only actual operating costs for the two years,we find there has been an increase in operating cost of $431,698.23 over the preceding year. The item Salariesof Instruction alone showed an increase of $316,427.21 over the preceding year. Expenses of Administration were up $122,953.07 over the preceding year. On the income side,however, fees received from students for the year 1948-1949 were up only $81,137.25. A careful study of this comparative table will show how quickly any sharp decline in income from student fees will affect the operating position of the University. Exhibit "A" is the Balance Sheetof the University as at June 30, 1949. It shows Endowment Fund Assets of $7,548,646.20; CentennialCampaign Fund Assets of $565,962.03; Plant Fund Assets of $9,642,837.22; and Operating Fund Assets of $2,546,--570.23. Total Assets of the University as of June 30, 1949 stand at $20,307,015.68. Exhibit "B" is an analysis of Land, Buildings and Equipment as at June 30, 1949. At June 30, 1948 total Land, Buildings and Equipment were carried at $8,279,864.81. At June 30, 1949 they were carried at $9,231,238.42, an increase for the year of $951,373.61. Exhibit "D"' is a record of the securities held in the University Endowment Fund portfolio at June 30, 1949. United States,State and Municipal GovernmentBonds, purchased by the University, yielded an average of 2.06% on the actual investment; Foreign GovernmentBonds,3-76%; Railroad Bonds, 2.59%; Public Utility Bonds, 2.69%; Industrial Bonds, 3%; Stocks,excluding gifts, 5.69%. The average yield on all stocks and bonds purchased and owned by the University in the Endowment Fund Account, and excluding gifts, was 4.03% for the year. This yield is in keeping with the averagesreported for other University Endowment Funds. On June 30, 1949, the stocks and bonds in the University Endowment portfolio which had been purchased by the University, excluding gifts, were classifiedas follows, on the basis of market worth: United States,State and Municipal Government Bonds,40.19%; Foreign GovernmentBonds,5.81%; Railroad Bonds, 1.65%; Public Utility Bonds, 1.17%; Industrial Bonds, .31%; Public Utility Preferred Stocks, 5.88%; Industrial Preferred Stocks, 3.47%; Investment Trust Preferred Stocks,.72%; Railroad Common Stocks,.26%; Public Utility common stocks,3-32%; Bank capital stocks,4.72%; Insurance common stocks,7.92%; Industrial common stock, 20.49%; Investment Trust common stocks,4.09%.

The Alumni by means of the Alumni Loyalty Fund continue their generousannual contributions to the University. Many Alumni are still paying on their Centennial Campaign Fund subscriptions. Others, who have completed payment of their CentennialFund pledges, are continuing to make annual gifts to the Alumni Loyalty Fund. The points of greatest weakness in the University's financial structure are the fact that so large a proportion of its operating income is derived from student fees and the fact that, in proportion to its size and the quality of its work, it has so small an endowment. Any considerable falling off in student enrollment cuts directly into the University's chief source of revenue and seriously endangers the balance of its operating position. The departure of the veterans may well mark the beginning of a trend in this direction. Annually, in my report, I call this fact to the attention of the Council. I must do so now and with added emphasis. Until this situation is corrected by providing greater endowment,yielding free income, the University is in a vulnerable position. It would seem that the time is at hand for the Alumni and friends of the University to undertake a long rangeplan to insure this aspect of the University's future.

That was the unanimous vote of the committee planning the 25th Annual Homecoming, scheduled for Saturday afternoon, October 28th, the occasion of the Buffalo-Rhode Island State football game. So successful have been the homecoming parties these last two years that Chairman Russell S. Kidder, Jr., MD'4l, and his committee have decided to stage a similar affair this year—a party planned to suit the individual alumnus' taste and pocketbook. First event in the afternoon's festivities is the football game with Rhode Island State University in Civic Stadium with the kickoff at 2:15 P. M. Last year, the Buffalo football Bulls took the Reds into camp with a 39-7 score when they traveled east to meet them. Head Coach Jimmy Wilson refuses to be comforted by last year's score, however, and is warning his men against overconfidence when handling the New Englanders. During half-time ceremonies, welcome to the returning alumni will be extended by Chancellor T. Raymond McConnell and alumni-president J. Frederick Painton, MD'27, BS(Med) '27. Especially honored guests on the field at that time will be Charles Haase, MD'O2, of Elmira, who was captain of the 1900 University of Buffalo Bulls, George H. Metz, LLB'26, who was captain of the 1925 team, and team captains from other years. Also at half-time, the 50-piece University band and students from the a Coach Wilson, 25 THREE CO-CAPTAINS FOR '50 BULLS Left to right, Football Co-Captains Matty Ferrentino, a guard; Ed Gicewtcz, an end;and Les Molnar, a tackle. Physical Education department will entertain with one of their popular music and drill shows. After the game, last year's popular innovation known as the "Fifth Quarter" will be repeated at the University Post, V. F.W., 742 Delaware at the corner of Summer St. Plenty of parking space is available at the rear of the club. "Good fellowship" and casual rereunion are the only items on the program for the "Fifth Quarter", and what the individual alumnus cares to eat and drink are available here according to his taste and pocketbook. Dinners are available at prices from $1.75 to $2.50. An orchestra will play for dancing after the dinner hour for those who wish to stay. Game tickets may be purchased by phoning or writing the Alumni Office. No tickets are needed for the party after the game. However, Chairman Kidder has stated that anyone who wishes to make a special dinner party or group reservation should call the Alumni Office. Reservations are advisable but are not necessary. Assisting Dr. Kidder in making the arrangements are these committee members: Robert L. Beyer, BS(Bus) '32; Richard W. Collard, BS(Bus)'3s; William B. Mabie, DDS'3O; Morley C. Townsend, Edß'39; LLB'4S; and Daniel W. G. Roberts, BS(Bng)'49. 25th ANNUAL HOMECOMING Jour /~ Quarter*: *1-hi Quarter: n t Saturday, October 28th BUFFALO VS — 2:15 P. M.

A committee of 15, appointed by Council Chairman Seymour H. Knox to plan the events, includes: Gen. Louis L. Babcock, chairman; Dean of Administration Claude E. Puffer, vicechairman; Mrs. Edward H.

Jones; Professors Milton C. Albrecht, Edmund D. McGarry, and Stanley D. Travis; Dorothy M. Haas, director of Norton Hall, and Talman W. Van Arsdale, Jr., director of alumni relations. MARINE HOSPITAL GIVEN UNIVERSITY Simple but impressive ceremonies this summer marked the turning over of the $800,000 former U. S. Marine Hospital at 2183 Main Street to the University for use as a chronicdisease research institute and headquarters for University's Information and Rehabilitation Clinic for Alcoholics. Federal, state, and local legislative, administrative, educational, and medical leaders watched as Oscar W. Ewing, national security administrator, formally transferred the property to Chancellor Samuel P. Capen. The action culminated nearly six months of negotiation in Albany and Washington. Actual ownership of the hospital remains with the U. S. government but usage of the property is given the University under an agreement which requires the state to guarantee the University a sum not to exceed $200,000 for operation for one year. School of Medicine's Dean Stockton Kimball, MD '29, said the new Institute will include three sections: I—The Medical School's Information & Rehabilitation Clinic for Alcoholics, which will occupy the former nurses' home on the 3%-acre site; TOWNSEND REPLACEMENT DELAYED; MEDICAL-DENTAL PLANS FIRST REPLACE ME FIRST! A view of the present Medical School Building on High Street. Alumni insist it be the first replacement on University's building program. Although the University Council at June meeting received bids for construction of a new Townsend Hall at Niagara Square, it shelved them and ordered detailed plans and specifications for the new medical-dental building on campus be drawn. Seymour H. Knox, chairman of the Council, stated that the Council's action meant that nothing will be done to replace out-moded Townsend Hall for the present, and that the Council "will consider plans for both buildings later and try to build them if the University can finance them". To that end, a special advisory committee was appointed by Chairman Knox to study financial problems in connection with the construction of the two buildings. The committee, consisting of Council members and alumni, includes: Paul A. Schoelkopf, Jr., chairman, Talman W. Van Arsdale, Jr., BA'3B, MA'4O, secretary; Christopher Baldy, LLB'10; L. Halliday Meisburger, DDS'I9; Carlton P. Cooke; William J. Orr, MD'2O; J. Frederick Painton, MD'27, BS(Med) '27; Robert E. Rich, BS(Bus)'3s; and Francis A. Smith. Mr. Knox, Chancellor McConnell, and Treasurer George D. Crofts are ex-officio members. 2—A physical rehabilitation center, plans for which are in the formative stage; EDWARD MICHAEL 3—A chronic-disease research center which will do research in cardiac and renal diseases, arthritis and metabolic diseases. The new institute, which will be known as the University of Buffalo Chronic Disease Research Institute, will have a program closely integrated with the-program of the University and the western N. Y. area's teaching hospitals. It is planned in terms of a 25-bed hospital unit which may eventually be enlarged to a 50-bed unit. New medical director for the Institute is Dr. Walter T. Zimdahl who comes to the post from the Joseph Pratt Diagnostic Hospital in Boston, Mass. Administrator of the Institute is Miss Thelma H. Kenyon, formerly assistant superintendent of Buffalo's Childrens Hospital. Edward Michael, University Council member since 1906, prominent Buffalo lawyer, businessman, and philanthropist, last month was feted by friends and family on his 100th birthday. Over the life span of ten decades, Mr. Michael can look back over a career which includes friendship with the children of President Lincoln, development of the city of Buffalo, and the establishment and growth of the University and Buffalo General Hospital. Others have lived beyond the century mark in Buffalo, but Mr. Michael is unique in that he has retained active interest and management of his own business interests, participates actively on the University Council, and continues to play a good game of poker with friends at the Buffalo Club on Saturday afternoons. its FETED ON 100TH �Alumni Bulletin 4 ALUMNI NEWS ITEMS BY CLASSES '95 PhG—Orange A.

University's 105th year of instruction opened with a convocation for 1100 campus freshmen in Clark Memorial Gymnasium, September 18th, with Chancellor McConnell making the principal address. For the freshmen it was the first event in a full program of "Orientation Week" which included tests, divisional meetings, physical exams, a picnic, carnival, and registration for classes. The volume is an authoritative and up-to-date text which explains the differences among seven foreign governments from an historical and cultural point of view and points up the particular tools each has found useful fcr the growth and persistence of democratic practices. The author and the sections they contributed are: Dr. Julius W. Pratt, dean of the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences and professor of American history (Japan); Dr. Julian Park, dean of the College of Arts & Sciences and professor of European history and international relations (France, Germany); Dr. John Clarke Adams, associate professor of government (Italy, Switzerland); and the late Dr. Wilfred B. Kerr, associate professor of English history (Great Britain, Russia). U.B. & Westinghouse Arrange Courses The University and the Westinghouse Electric Corporation have established a cooperative arrangement for postgraduate training of Westinghouse engineers. The affiliation will enable graduate engineers in the employ of Westinghouse to continue their study in the field of engineering, and later, in the fields of physics, mathematics, and business administration. The University work will be handled by the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, under Dean Julius W. Pratt, in affiliation with the University's School of Engineering, under Dean Paul E. Mohn. It will also be possible for other industries in the Buffalo and western N. Y. area to affiliate with the University in similar programs for the benefit of their employees, according to Dean Mohn. Dr. Swisher Promoted Dr. Margaret C. Swisher, member of Pharmacy School faculty since 1929, has been promoted to a full professorship in pharmaceutical chemistry and thus becomes the first woman professor in the 64-year history of the School.

Address them to: The Alumni Office, Crosby Hall, The University of Buffalo, Buffalo 14, New York. TEST FOR GAS DEVELOPED HERE A new test for carbon monoxide poisoning developed at the University under the direction of Niels C. Klendshoj, MD '37, director of the toxicology division in the Medical School, may conceivably reduce war's toll by saving lives in bombed cities. The test, developed by Dr. Klendshoj with the aid of two assistants, Milton Feldstein, MA '50, and Alice L. Sprague, BA '44, uses a sample of blood to tell how much carbon monoxide is present even long after death. The test is made by the use of two beams of invisible ultraviolet light of two different wave-lengths or colors. In its application to the bombardment of cities, the test is important because carbon monoxide is a serious hazard, especially for persons trapped in partially-destroyed buildings. U. B. Treasury Gains Through shrewd investment by the University Council's Finance Committee, on recommendations by Treasurer George D. Crofts, University's treasury has gained a total of more than one million dollars in recent years. As of May 31, 1950, the stocks and bonds in University's endowment portfolio were 16%—or 51,203,509 in excess of their cost, a considerable help in balancing the constantly- — growing budget. Assistant Dean Named Dr. Leroy C. Keagle, professor of pharmacy, has been appointed assistant dean of the School of Pharmacy. A graduate of Rutgers, Dr. Keagle will assist Pharmacy's beloved Dean A. Bertram Lemon, PhG '13. AS FOSDICK SAID "The most marvelous thing on earth is a printed book. "There is nothing in that printed book but 26 letters. Can you imagine anything more useless than one of these letters by itself? Is there anything more useless than a V by itself? What can a man do with the letter A alone? "But when you get all those letters cooperating, what can't you do with them? "As alumni we may not amount to much one by one, but we amount to more than any of us can imagine when we work together."

Yes, you! You were on a hidden scholarship whether or not you knew it. In reality, your tuition and fees paid for quite a bit less than the actual dollars and cents cost of your education. Funds contributed by an alumnus ahead of you or by citizens in the community made it possible for the University to give you a better education than you paid for. If universities charged each student the actual cost of educating him, they would soon become institutions limited to the children of the wealthy, for only one seventh of the students could stay in college if their parents had to pay the full, true cost of their education. In effect, then, annual gifts to the Alumni Loyalty Fund sustain the scholarship you were granted, making possible the studies of others who follow you into the University. The gifts from alumni make possible the continuing tradition of a great University. �8 Alumni Bulletin Dr. Stockton Kl»taU U. S. Postage U PAID Permit No. 311 Buffalo, N.

Basketball is a slam-bang game these days with never a let-up in the action. University's quintet has given a good account of itself to date against some of the fastest and strongest fives in the nation because the Bulls just don't relax the pressure.

SPECIES: ALUMNUS (The foltovAnfj is a digest from an address b\ Denison University's President Kenneth 1. Brown before a district conference of the American Alumni Council. —ED.) A good alumnus is one who keeps himself informed on the changing policies of his college and follows with lively attention its welfare. A good alumnus is one who is eager to increase the prestige of his college, and willingly speaks his words of witness. A good alumnus is one who is tolerant of the college, its chosen leaders, its changing student bodies, the new faces among its instructors, and even younger alumni with their different collection of "perfect" faculty and "sacred" memories. A good alumnus is one who wears proudly the label of his college. A good alumnus is one who within the limits of his abilities supports the college by annual gifts. A good alumnus is one who encourages young persons, who might profit by the type of education his college offers, to look in its direction. A good alumnus is one who demands for the faculty of his college the same freedom of speech, right of decision, and liberty of action that he asks for himself as an American citizen. A good alumnus is one who while treasuring the memories of a happy past is eager for changes that will bring his college into increased effectiveness. A good alumnus is one who knows gratitude for the gifts which his college has made to him. UNIVERSITY ROUND TABLE PRESENTS U. S.

MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN ALUMNI COUNCIL PLEASE NOTIFY US OF CHANGE OF ADDRFSS CARE FOR OUR OWN By Ed. KHngcllwfer. Placement Director Recent articles and employment forecasts have predicted substantial surpluses in most occupational areas for which colleges train individuals. Only a few professions are expected to be able to absorb the numbers of graduates who are being graduated now or who will be in the near future. The political, social, and economic implications of potentially large-scale unemployment or mal-employment of college graduates is obvious. The problems are too complicated to lend themselves easily to enlargement here. However, assumed that it is the intent of college students at least to prepare themselves for a livelihood, many of them may be frustrated occupational ly because of increasing numbers of graduates, levelling-off or decrease in demand for replacements, and unwillingness of employers to consider college graduates for non-"co liege-level" jobs. The University feels a responsibility to its graduates in helping them effect good post-college adjustment. Alumni a cooperation in this project, in light of the difficulties which lie ahead, would be most welcome. Invaluable assistance could be rendered by individuals or groups in any of these ways: 1) Consider a U. B. graduate for any position you may have open; 2) Suggest the U. B. Placement Service to your employer; 3) Inform the U. B. Placement Office of job opportunities. Inquiries and requests for personnel may be addressed to the University of Buffalo Placement Service, Buffalo 14, N. Y. (Phone UN. 9300). THINK HOW NICE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN! Remember when a cup of coffee after that exam would have tasted like nectar? Midyear examinations were as tough or tougher this year than the days when we took 'em. But Norton Union's student Board of Managers endeared themselves to fellow-strugglers hy serving coffee and cookies each afternoon of exam week in the student union building. Said Dorothy M. ("Dottie") Haas, BS(Bns) '32. Norton's director. "We served more than 2000 tups of coffee and several thousand cookies certain evidence that the students liked the idta. Everyone relaxed for a few minutes each day. It was well worth it." — Prom Has McIntyre "name-band"' at the 37th Annual Junior Promenade at Hotel Statler on Saturday evening, March 4th, from 10 till 2. Hal Mclntyre and his bandsmen will play for University's top social event at which outstanding men students are "tapped" for Bisonhead, men's honor society.

It's a + * * Sculpture and Ski-Jeeping The weather cooperated to make the annual student winter carnival a decided success on February 2-4. Enough snow fell a couple of days before to make it possible for the various student organizations to create some unusual snow sculptures and sponsor ski events on the campus. Sigma Kappa's "Ollie, the Dragon"' topped Theta Chi's "Organ-Grinder" and Sigma Alpha Nu's "King Winter" for sculpting honors. Students Want Dorms The Out-Of-Towners Club recently submitted results of a student survey to the Chancellor which indicate that there are indeed enough students from beyond commuting distance who would use dormitories if they were constructed. Also pointed out wast that construction of the Medical-Dental building on campus would bring others who heed dorm facilities. Karr Parker, chairman of Council's buildings and grounds committee, recently indicated to the local press that plans for dorms had been drawn and are considered important among immediate building needs when the Medical-Dental building has been constructed. Also cited by Parker was the pressing need of a replacement for Townsend Hall. * * * Retailers to N. Y. C.

The longer I study higher education the more convinced I am that the private institutions have an indispensable part to play in the total program of higher education in this country. We must make every effort, publicly and privately, to see that their great collective contribution to our culture is continued and improved. I am sure my friends in private institutions know that, insofar as it is possible, I shall use my office to protect the best traditions of private higher education in America." 1949 ALUMNI GIFTS Figures as of December 31, 1949 (Not Including Special Gifts) No. of Division Donors \rts & Sciences 335 3usiness Administration 156 \nalytical Chemistry* 17 Dentistry 414 Education* 87 Engineering 23 .aw 227 Jbrary Science* 13 Medicine 699 Cursing 48 'harmacy 240 iocial Work 33 iummer Session 4 Evening Session 57 :aculty (non-alumni) 3 *sc. 5 .... __ Amount $ 3,215.00 1,297.00 386.00 8,888.50 487.00 122.50 _.... 11,716.50 95.00 39,846.50 583.50 3,454.50 202.00 2,897.50 _„ 862.50 30.00 555.00 Totals 2361 $74,639.00 "Includes only those without other degrees from the University of Buffalo.

Although the medical school, oldest college of the University, has established the fund through its alumni association.

John Ryan, 28-year-old sophomore in the School of Engineering and War II Navy veteran, lived with his wife and three children in a $2200 trailer in nearby Clarence while attending the University. Having no relatives in the area, they were making the best of their temporary quarters then, fire struck without warning on March 9th. The trailer was a complete loss, and so were their clothing, furnishings, children's toys in fact, all their wordly goods. When members of the volunteer fire company returned home after the fire, wives of the firemen immediately got busy on the telephone. Score of gifts cash, furnishings and toys—soon began flooding of Episcopal rectory the St. Paul's Church in Clarence, and the wife of the rector. Mrs. Kenneth W. Kadey, took over like a Navy supply officer. The Clarence Lions' Club quickly voted a substantial cash donation. News of the fire was printed in the daily newspapers. That was all Ryan's fellow students and instructors on the campus needed. Three separate collection drives to aid Ryan and his family were begun simultaneously and spontaneously. The engineering student society started a fund drive; Norton Hall became the headquarters for a drive by Sigma Alpha Nu fraternity; the Women's Club, whose members are women faculty members and wives of faculty members, prepared to provide furniture and food; Chancellor Samuel P. Capen made out a personal check to Ryan when he heard the unfortunate news and several faculty members followed his example. Two days after the fire, Ryan said, "These kindnesses have been enough to put us back on our feet again and I shall be able to continue my studies. I am completely overwhelmed at the generosity and fellow-feeling of my classmates and my teachers." — — — �4 Alumni Bulletin ■* THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO ALUMNI BULLETIN Published monthly except July, August ami September by the University of Buffalo at 3-4^l Main at..

The interest and comment it evoked among local alumni prompted the editor to publish a digest of it here so that out-of-town alumni might see it as well.) ten Buffalo With 1000 doctors ready to convene here for the annual Spring Clinic Day sponsored by the University of Buffalo School of Medicine Alumni Association, regional gaze and pride once again is focused on the contributions of U. B.s men of medicine. Prestige is no stranger to Western N. V.'s only medical school. It was with it from the start. Three members of the original faculty of 1846 captured special acclaim. One, Dr. Austin Flint, leader in the founding of the University, became one of America's foremost physicians. First to recognize typhoid as a water-borne disease, he is best remembered for his discovery of a type of heart murmur, named for him the "Austin Flint Murmur". Dr. Frank H. Hamilton, a colleague, was the first to suggest skin-grafting. The third, Dr. James P. White, introduced clinical midwifery into the curriculum at the School's fourth session. While at U. 8., he became the first American doctor to deliver a baby openly, without concealing sheets, in the presence of medical students—a notable advance in medical teaching despite the shocked howls of prim citizens. These early sparks of scientific advancement blazed anew in succeeding faculty members. Dr. John C. Dalton was the first to use experiments on living animals in teaching. Dr. Julius F. Miner developed a technique, later adopted everywhere, connected with ovarian tumors. In 1893, Dr. Roswell Park was named professor of surgery and here became one of the country's most noted surgical authorities. University's tradition of great medical teachers has continued undiminished into the modern era. Dr. Frank A. Hartman, former professor of physiology, in 1930 thrilled the world with his preparation of cortin, the Addison's-disease remedy. Drs. Carl F. and Gerty Cori, accomplished in Buffalo preliminary work on the later insulin and sugar-metabolism research which earned them a 1947 Nobel Prize. Among the present faculty members, Dr. Kornel L. Terplan has given valued information on the changing incidence of LAW SENIORS HONOR JAFFE Law School's Dean Louis L. Jaffe, who is resigning this June after 14 years on the faculty, was honored at a testimonial dinner last month. The dinner, given by the Law School senior class, was attended by about 90 people. Mr. Jaffe, dean since 1948, is leaving to become professor of law at Harvard University. TEACHING SURGERY AT MED SCHOOL IN 1899 University's Medical School already had considerable prestige when this photo was snapped in the surgical amphitheater in 1899- Note the absence of rubber gloves, surgical masks, and caps. Identification of any of the gentlemen pictured would be appreciated by the Editor. tuberculosis types. Dr. John H. Talbott is regarded one of the nation's top gout experts; Dr. John Stewart has worked prominently on surgery in bleeding peptic ulcers; kidney-disease contributions have come from Dr. Mitchell I. Rubin and Dr. Kendrick Hare. Just recently, Dr. Ernest Witebsky won the Chancellor's Medal for his far-reaching blood researches. Under this faculty guidance, and through the cooperation of the teaching hospitals, a small army of brilliant graduates has moved to medical prominence. One of the earliest alumni to make his imprint in fame was George E. Fell, MD'B2, who fashioned the first successful apparatus to induce artificial mechanical respiration in victims of drowning and asphyxiation. George W. Thorn, MD'29, has done historic work in implantation of adrenal hormone pellets under the skin of patients; two such pellets each year do the job normally requiring daily injections. He now holds the Hersey chair in medicine at Harvard Medical College. Charles Gordon Heyd, MD'O9, rose to become president of the American Medical Association and is one of the GAUCHAT, '19, NAMED NEW DENTISTRY DEAN Leon J. Gauchat, DDS'I9, who became acting dean upon the resignation of Russell W. Groh, DDS'IB, last January Ist, was named dean of the School of Dentistry on May Ist. Dr. Gauchat is well-known to dental alumni and to the profession at large. most important figures in the profession. Wayne J. Atwell, MD'34, was an international authority on the embryology of the pituitary gland. Grandfather of the present Dean Stockton Kimball, MD"29, was Charles G. Stockton, MD'7B, reputed for his work in digestive ailments. His classmate, Ernest Wende, MD'7B, won wide praise for his reforms in contagious diseases. Still the list unfolds: Dr. Herbert U. Williams, MD'9B, trichinosis researcher; Irving W. Potter, MD'9l, perfecter of the version technique in obstetrics and deliverer of more than 25,000 babies, a record unmatched by any other doctor in the world; and L. Maxwell Lockie, PhG'23, MD'29, whose experiments with BAL have proved a boon to arthritis sufferers. By far one of the most revered medical alumni is Nelson G. Russell, MD'95, whose great teaching of two generations of physicians and his work in a host of fields, notably the importance of autopsies, earned him the Chancellor's Medal in 1945. In these achievements lies the challenge for the medical future. DR. LENHOFF TO LONDON Dr. Arthur Lenhoff, professor of law in University's Law School, has been invited to act as general reporter on the question of "The Recognition, Sanctions, and Limitations of the Right to Work in Different Legal Systems" at the Third International Congress of Comparative Law to be held in London, England, this summer. �4 Alumni Bulletin Kr.

MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN ALUMNI COUNCIL PLEASE NOTIFY US OF CHANGE OF ADDRESS WAS YOUR NAME LISTED? The Honor Roll of the Alumni Loyalty Fund was mailed this month to the alumni of the University. It is a proud record, listing the names of those who have made possible another good year in that vital task of protecting and nurturing the investment all of us have in Alma Mater. Outstanding is the message from Loyalty Fund Committee Chairman William J. Orr, MD '20, who cites "the Crr, "SO restraint wluch has characterized the University's appeal to its alumni." Dr. Orr goes on to ask "why should not the University like other institutions play upon our heartstrings in appealing to our purse strings? I am sure that our graduates and former students have a real sentimental attachment to the institution that offered them their opportunity for an education. It is as real as their intellectual recognition of its scholastic standards." Law '98 achieved special recognition by its 100% response this year. Henry Adsit Bull is the class agent. Law '28, through an error, did not have its class agent listed as a contributor. The agent, Keith G. Farner, has led his class to an enviable record and has indeed contributed annually to the Fund for several years. A similar error occurred when the name of "Warren L. Miller, BS(Bus)'43, was omitted. EDUCATION ALUMNI NOTICE N.Y. DENTS ELECT LEVINE A group of the Education Alumni Association met on April 26th to discuss the future of the presently inactive association. While the meeting was not especially well-attended, cards and letters from more than 50 other alumni indicated an interest in an active association and cited the particular meeting night as inconvenient. A second meeting of the Association therefore has been planned, under the temporary chairmanship of Joseph B. Patti, EdM'4o, for Wednesday evening. May 24th at 8 P.M. in this East Room of Norton Hall on the campus. Publication of this information here is the only notice being sent to the members, and all who read it are urged to "pass the word" to other Association members so that a representative turn-out may be realized. The annual dinner meeting and elec:ion of the New York Dental Branch Alumni Club on April 13th at Hotel Mew Yorker had Edward F. Mimmack, DDS'2I, as featured speaker who related current plans for the Dental School and stories of bygone days at "Dent School". Toastmaster Willard S. Bell, DDS'IB, termed it a "reminiscent evening" and went on to make special mention of the classes of '37, '40, '44, and '48 for having the most memLevins, '37 bers present. Leuman Waugh, DDS'OO, won the "grandpa" honor for being the member of the oldest class present, and Ita R. Friedlander, DDS'3O, came in for distinction as the only woman-graduate in attendance.

PHYSICISTS MEET ON CAMPUS Physicists in universities and industrial laboratories, and teachers of high school physics, gathered on campus this month for two days for the annual meeting of the N. Y. State Section of the American Physical Society. Ernest Cohen, BA'3B, MA'4O, instructor in physics at University, was one of the committee in charge of arrangements. Dr. Lyle W. Phillips, MA'35, is head of the University's physics department which acted as host. ENROLLMENT INCREASES University's enrollment this semester showed an increase over that of a year ago. Figures released by Emma E. Deters, University registrar, give a total net registration of 10,148 compared with 10,095 a year ago. The second semester figure customarily is less than that of the first semester, which this year was 10,827. While the enrollment of veterans has declined as expected, the registration of regular day and evening students has more than compensated. The total registration for the day divisions is 5,722, and the total for the evening divisions with Social Work and Nursing is 4,766. Dr. Claude E. Puffer, dean of administration, commented: "We are drawing an increasingly larger enrollment from the high schools of Buffalo and Western New York and a constantly growing number of men and women who are taking courses in the evening. The University can take pride in the fact that the expected postwar levelling-off has not materialized." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Bertram Lemon, PhG'l3, dean of the School of Pharmacy, became the first recipient of the Samuel Paul Capen Alumni Award established this year by the General Alumni Board in honor of the retiring Chancellor. The award will be conferred annually on an alumnus who has "made notable and meritorius contributions to his University and its alumni family". G. Thomas Ganim, BS'24, LLB'27, outgoing president, presented the bronze plaque to Dr. Lemon at the Board's 11th annual dinner and election on June Bth. Mr. Ganim praised the recipient as a "national figure in his chosen profession" and declared that he was the "inevitable and unanimous choice because more than any other graduate he may be said to be responsible for the present alumni organization and its accomplishments". In expressing his gratitude, Dr. Lemon observed that "loyalty of the alumni is a university's greatest asset —and I will continue to support that slogan throughout my life." Obviously moved by the ovation accorded him by the 41 Board members as he arose to speak, Dr. Capen saluted the audience as, "My fellow alumni". He remarked that his new role came about through the honorary degree presented him the day before, and went on to confide: "I'm used to considering myself as a kind of 'uncle' to the University. It's not common to change from the relation of uncle to that of son. Now I'm a son and I thank God for it." In sharing some "valedictory" impressions with the Board, Dr. Capen reflected that few other institutions could match the University's growth from a small school to a major university in so short a time as 30 years. He attributed much of that growth to the outstanding leadership of the Council, the very extraordinary skill of George D. Crofts, treasurer of the University, and to the large numbers of faculty who came here "not because the salaries were higher but because there was a challenge here to be met". Other speakers were Seymour H. Knox, chairman of the Council, Mr. Crofts, Dean of Administration Claude E. Puffer. and Director of Alumni Relations Talman W. Van Arsdale, Jr., BA'3B, MA'4O. J. Frederick Painton, MD'27, BS(Med) '21, was elected president of the Board which represents University's more than 16.000 living alumni. Myron A. Roberts, DDS'3O, was chosen president-elect and the vice-presidents elected to head committees are: Frederick J. Metzger, DDS'3O, activities; Waring A. Shaw, BA'3l, associations and clubs; Burt G.

The overflow audience, the faculty, and the 1,253 graduates stood and accorded Chancellor Samuel P. Capen a rousing ovation as they witnessed the surprise granting to him of the honorary degree of Doctor of Civil Law by the University at its 104th annual commencement at Kleinhans Music Hail, June 7th. Dr. Capen had just finished the granting of the record-breaking number of degrees and certificates when he was presented the degree, a rarity at the University by Seymnur H. Knox, chairman of the Council, following the reading of a citation by Clayton W. Greene, MD'lO. member of the Council and professor of medicine. Dr. Greene said of the Chancellor: "The service which Dr. Capen has rendered to this community and to this University which perhaps transcends all others is his defense of each man's right to seek the truth, and to publish his findings, in his own way. ... He is a lower of strength in the critical battle to preserve the right of the private institu- tion to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness." Then, Dr. Julian Park, dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, and Dr. Julius W. Pratt, dean of the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, stepped forward and placed a purple hood over the Chancellor's academic gown. Commencement speaker was Dr. Alan W. Brown, president of Hobart and William Smith Colleges, who made human freedom the keynote of his address. He paid deep homage to Dr. Capen as "the dean of college presidents of this state" and "the incarnation of the spirit of freedom, during his long and many years at the head of this great AN OMISSION DENTISTRY'S ASSISTANT DEAN IS PAYNE, '37 Another inadvertent omission from the 1949 Alumni Loyalty Fund Honor Roll was the name of Thomas C.

S. Howard Payne, DDS"37, last month was appointed assistant dean of Uni- versity's School of Dentistry. In the newly-created post. Dr. Payne will be associated with Dean Leon J. Gauchat.

JACOBSON IMPRISONED BRIEFLY BY COMMUNISTS The arrest and 12-day imprisonment this month of Israel Jacobson,BA'37, SWk'37, MSS'4I, by Hungarian authorities was viewed by U. S. diplomatic sources as part of a deliberate Communist move to harass Americans behind the "Iron Curtain'". Jacobson, 37-year-old director of the Hungarian division ot the American Joint Distribution Committee, a Jewish reorganization, lief was originally arrested by the Hungarian Gov ernment on charges of "suspected espionage" on December 15thwhen he returned to Hungary from Vienna, Austria, after a leave in the United States. When he was finally Jacobson, '37, '41 being held incommunicado released after for 12 days, he was expelled from Hunby government for alleged that gary "illegal activities". He was allowed to drive alone in his cat back to -Vienna but was detained for several hours en route by the Russians on the charge that his travel permit for the Soviet Occupation Zone had expired during the term of his imprisonment. Later, in Vienna, Jacobson stated in a radio interview that he had been questioned daily by "third degree methods, sometimes as long as 20 hours in a day" and that he had lost all sense of time. Mrs. Jacobson is the former Florence Stulberg, BA'34,SWk'3s.

BS(Nrs)'44, has designated this event as "New Member Nite", and newcomers to the Association will be appropriately honored. Baker, '83 Quackenbush, '90 MEDICINE, '83 Only surviving member of the class of "83 from the Medical Schoolis Edwin W. Baker now living in Fremont,Ohio, who has just this year retired from active practice. If the mailman cooperates, this Bulletin will reach his home about the time he celebrates his 90th birthday. Although he was born in Machias and practiced for a bit in Wales Center, Dr. Baker moved to Clyde, Ohio, in "87 to start his practice which, over its more than 60 years,has included many "firsts" for medicine in that area. Perhaps it was the many calls he made on horseback in those early days which led him to his iife-long hobby of raising and riding fine horses. Dr. Baker is also an ardent sportsman and in part attributes his longevity to the two-week "shooting vacations" he was "smart enough to take each year". To his communities of Fremont and Clyde he has given much of his time and effort in the founding and constant improvement of the community hospital. Although he sayshe's "retired", he still steps in as substitute for his nephew, Edwin A. Baker,MDPO7,when the latter takes his two-week vacation. PHARMACY, '88 The surviving member of the oldest Pharmacy class in is Harry W. Patterson who followed Greeley's advice and "went west" shortly after his graduation to work as a pharmacist in ColoradoSprings at the time of the gold boom there. In '93 he opened his own store in Denver, later moving it to Fort Collins, Colo., where he was active until his retirement ten yearsago. Although his ill health prevents him now from pursuing his hobbies, he is wont to speak of them as "mining interests and my friends". Proof of the latter was evident indeed when we first inquired about Mr. Patterson because the Bulletin has received many letters from his friends telling about him. LAW, '90 Although he achieved prominence in local law circles early in his career, James L. Quackenbush, surviving member of Law's Class of '90, practiced his profession for Beach,94 most of his years in New York City. Five yearsafter his graduation, he was appointed an assistant district attorney for Erie County and a year later was appointed city attorney. In '98 he joined the law firm of Kenefick and Love and in '04 he was elected president of the Erie County Bar Association. That same year, however, he accepted the position of general attorney and counsel for the Interborough-Metropolitan Railway System in New York City where he served for 36 years until his retirement in 1940. has Since then, Mr. Quackenbush found time to indulge in his chief inlovely surrounding home and terest, his grounds on the west bank of the Hudson River near Nyack. DENTISTRY, '94 J. Wright Beach of Eggertsville is the only surviving member of the first full two-year class in dentistry to be graduated from the University. After graduation he entered the office of one of his teachers,Dr. F. E. Howard, as an asso- ciate in practice and as an assistant class instructor in operative dentistry. A few yearslater, Dr. Beach was named Professor of Dental History, Ethics, and Economics in the Dental School where he continued to lecture until his retirement in 1946 when he was named Professor Emeritus. In 1897, Dr. Beach developed the wrought wire method of clasp removable bridge work and lectured on his methods here and abroad in Europe and Canada. He has also contributed many professional articles to the magazine "Oral Health". One of his services of which he is justifiably proud was the organization of the Preparedness League of American Dentists at the onset of War I. This League of nearly 19,000 dentists made thousands of American young men dentally fit at no expense to them or to the government. Not all of Dr. Beach's writing has been professional; his poetry has attracted much critical acclaim and he still continues to write. One of his favorite community philanthropies has been the Crippled Children's Guild and the dental clinic there is named in his honor. �4 Alumni Bulletin U. S.
