DR.McCOPANGLEUTIVSRY'

"NO ARCHITECT'S DREAM"—ARTIST'S SKETCH OF NEW MED-DENT BUILDING
Chancellor T. Raymond McConnell
keynoted the 4th Annual Class Agent
Reception, held Wednesday evening,
October 25th, at the Buffalo Athletic
Club, by pointing convincingly to the
needs of the University and the importance of the Alumni Loyalty Fund
in their satisfaction.

—-

The alumni leaders upon whom the
Loyalty Fund depends annually for
its success listened
and applauded
enthusiastically often
as the new
Chancellor revealed his ready and able
comprehension of the University's
needs and his outspoken conviction
that he would have alumni support in
their fulfillment.
Dr. McConnell cited as paramount
the erection of the new Medical-Dental Building on the campus. Pointing
to an artist's sketch of the proposed
new building (see cut), he said, "This
is a rendering based upon the actual
detailed plans for the Medical-Dental
Building upon which the architect is
at work. In other words, this is no
architect's dream. The sketch represents actual working plans. The University does not yet have all the funds
necessary to complete the building but
there is a committee at work on
means for their procurement and
there exists a feeling that they can
and will be secured and that the Medical-Dental Building will be a reality
in the not-distant future."
Drawings and photographs were

—

ranged about the room and formed a
graphic picture of the University's
past growth and present needs. Describing the plans for the University
as definitely attainable, Dr. McConnell cited as pressing requirements
the construction of dormitories for

men and women, a classroom and laboratory building, a replacement for
Townsend Hall, and an addition to
Norton Hall.
"With continuous material evidence
of alumni loyalty and that of the area
we serve, these vital structures can
become realities", said Dr. McConnell.
The new Chancellor was introduced
by William J. Orr, MD '20, chairman
of the Alumni Loyalty Fund Committee, who emphasized the necessity of
wider participation of alumni in the
annual Fund. He pointed out that
higher percentages of givers in every
class and every division of the alumni were essential if the Fund were to
be successful this year, and he exhorted the assembled Class Agents to
seek 100% records for their classes.
Dr. Orr then displayed an artist's
sketch of the bronze and walnut
plaque to be erected in Hayes Hall
Lobby. The plaque will record, by
years, the divisions, class agents, and
classes which achieve the highest percentages of donors, and will record
these records annually from 1943 forward.
General Alumni Board President J.

Frederick Painton, MD '27, BS (Mcd)
'27, cited the investment each alumnus
has in continuing the tradition of a
great independent University. Hesaid,
"If we are to avoid the control which
government will inevitably exercise if
it assumes financial burdens for education, we must get home to every
fellow alumnus the importance of his
annual giving to his University, The
Class Agents are doing a noble service, but the very life of the University depends upon the manner and extent to which their classmates answer."
The remarks of George D. Crofts,
Treasurer of the University, who was
unable to be present, were read by
Miss Emily H. Webster, BA '23. In
these, Mr. Crofts reviewed the needs
of the University, praised previous
alumni gifts, and stressed his confidence in alumni support in achieving a
new and important step in the University's progress.
Exhibits in addition to the architect's sketch of the new MedicalDental Building, included past and
present air-views of the campus, a
chart of alumni gifts of past years,
an artist's sketch of the proposed
bronze plaque for Hayes Hall lobby,
a map of the campus depicting location of the proposed new buildings,
and maps showing graphically the
geographical distribution of University's more than 16,000 alumni.

UNIVERSITY BRIEFS
Language Teachers Meet

Modern language teachers representing several teachers' organizations and coming from all parts of the
State took part in a Foreign Language Conference sponsored by the
University this month. Dr. J. Alan
Pfeffer, BA '35, MA '36, University's
professor of German, during the conference was elected president of the
New York State Federation of Modern
Language Teachers.

it's

been

62

years

since

he first

hung out his "shingle" in Brockport,

N. V., but Horace J. Mann, MD'BB,
still can't retire. His townspeople
insist that he's their "Doc" and keep
coming to his Main Street office.
Then, too, the Town Board consistently refuses to let him retire as
health officer—a position he has held
for more years than he can remember.
Dr. Mann was recently the subject
of an article in the Rochester TimesUnion newspaper when he was honored by the Rochester Academy of
Medicine during its golden jubilee
celebration.
Pictured above in a photographic
study by Claude Brown, Dr. Mann is
shown with some of his old instruments and the saddle he used in making rounds on horseback in the 1890's.
How To Make Your Class 100%
Every class agent inevitably checks
the Alumni Loyalty Fund Honor Roll
booklet when it comes in the mail
every spring.
Charles A. Calder, DDS '38, checked
last year's Honor Roll and wasn't at
all happy with the number of his class
who gave.
Here is what he wrote to his classmates this year.
"Dear
:
"I noticed that last year our class
had the lowest percentage of givers.
It makes me feel that my efforts toward increasing this percentage have
been fruitless to date, so I'll try the
desperate method.
"Attached to this letter is a one dollar bill. At least, please return that to
the University, and sign your name
to the pledge card. If your conscience
makes you add some more to it, fine!
It might help add one or more bricks
to the new medical-dental building
which is to be built soon."
Well, what would you do? Yes, the
class members did, too. The results?
Excellent!

University's student government
abolished both the "Bee" and the "Argus" this month. The rival weekly
newspapers were supported by allocations from student funds and, when it
became necessary to cut the appropriations, both refused to merge into a
single weekly with the result that
both were dropped and plans initiated
for one new paper. Name for the new
weekly has not yet been selected.

Engineer Parley Held

More than 125 engineering educators and industrial leaders from all
sections of New York State outside
New York City gathered on campus
this month for the annual meeting of
the American Society of Engineering
Education, Upper New York Section.
Engineering's Dean Paul E. Mohn and
Professor Frederick T. Thomas, section chairman and head of University's Industrial Engineering department, headed the group of University
faculty who were hosts.

School of Medicine's Dean Stockton

Kimball, MD '29, has been appointed

chairman of the Joint Committee on
Medical Education in Time of National Emergency. The function of
the group is to work out all problems
relating to medical education during

Dr. Knickerbocker poses with candidates for Homecoming Queen at halftime ceremonies.
It looked like a dark day. But the
rain never fell, and the football Bulls
were never behind as they trounced
Rhode Island State University's gridders 33-12 before an enthusiastic
Homecoming1 Day crowd of alumni,
students, and faculty in Civic Stadium
on Saturday, October 28th.
The win brought the Bulls' record
to four wins against two losses. The
victories have been over Cortland,
Brooklyn, Alfred, and Rhode Island;
losses were to Niagara and Louisville. Two games remain: against
R.P.I. and Ohio University.
Homecoming alumni were greeted
at half-time by Chancellor T. Raymond McConnell who brought cheers
from the crowd as he emphasized his
interest in University's athletic fortunes.
Especially honored in half-time
ceremonies were football captains of
yesteryear. Introduced by AlumniPresident J.Frederick Painton, MD'27,
BS (Mcd) '27, they included: Homer
J. Knickerbocker, PhG '93, MD '98;

Carl W. Baisch, AC '21, BS '25, MA

G. Ridall, BA '31, MD '34; Robert L.
Beyer, BS (Bus) '32; Robert E. Rich,
BS (Bus) '35; John Rappole, Aex 136;
and Sigmund F. Pelsen, BA '37.
Oldest captain oresent, Dr. Knickerbocker of the team of 1896, brought
enthusiastic and loud approval from
the spectators as he circled the stadium track in a 1903 automobile and
then posed for pictures with the candidates for Homecoming Queen. Later
at the student Homecoming dance, he
acted as one of the judges who picked
Virginia M. Brown, School of Nursing
freshman from Salamanca, N. V., as
queen.
The traditional "Fifth Quarter" after the game was well-attended at the
V. F. W. Post at Delaware and Summer Streets where groups of alumni
reuned, wined, dined, and generally
approved the program of the afternoon and evening which had been
chairmaned by Russell S. Kidder, Jr.,
MD '41.

Paper Named "Spectrum"
Despite strenuous opposition from
alumni and faculty who sought to

May I extend to all alumni the University's warmest Christmas
greetings and its sincere good wishes.
I wish it were possible for me to greet each of you personally.
One of my desires is that in the near future I shall have the
opportunity to meet many more of you, and to hear your hopes
for the University.
Honors, distinctions, and recognition for service on the part
of alumni come constantly to my attention. These achievements
reflect honor on your Alvia Mater; they give the University its
own sense of attainment, for in the last analysis, the lives of its
graduates constitute the true measure of its quality.
The manpower mobilization no win progress icill create great
Unidifficulties for all private higher institutions, including the may
versity of Buffalo. For some of these institutions the effect
be catastrophic. The University of Buffalo, in spite of difficult
times ahead, must plan for the future. No educational institution
can successfully conduct a "holding operation". It will be either
go forward or backward. It can go forward if all of us give it

our interest, our devotion, and our best efforts.

Pharmacy's

Dean A. Bertram

Lemon, PhG '13, termed the student

action as "promiscuous changing of
University traditions" which if permitted would mean that "we may anticipate a change in University colors,
a change in the Alma Mater song and,
indeed, in any tradition or name of
years standing".
Vincent J. Loughlin, LLB '22, first
editor of "The Bee"; Irving R.
Templeton, LLB '02, Buffalo attorney
and former Law School faculty member; and Alumni-President J. Frederick Painton, MD '27, BS(Med) '27,
joined Dr. Lemon in the protest.
These and other alumni have indicated that they will continue to press
for the restoration of "The Bee".

REPORT

OF THE

(Abstract)

CHANCELLOR

To the Council of the University of Buffalo;
Two years ago it was apparent that the peak of the
abnormal enrollment caused by the influx of the beneficiaries of the so-called G. I. Bill of Rights had been
reached, or was about to be reached. It was apparent
that the University would soon enter upon another period
of transition characterized by a shrinkage of the student
population and a consequent falling off of revenue from
tuition fees. The demands for new services and for alterations of existing enterprises—demands resulting from the
impact of the war on this region and on American society
in general—had begun to make themselves felt. Some of
the problems, financial and other, which the University
then faced, or would shortly face, were already clear in

were anticipated and in each case were smaller than had
been expected.
Another Sizeable Operating Surplus
The Report of the Comptroller, published herewith, records that the University finished the fiscal year 1949-1950
with an operating surplus of $339,260. When the budget
was adopted a year earlier it carried an estimated surplus
of only $10,502. The great disparity between the estimate
and the amount of surplus actually realized from the
year's operations is attributable chiefly to two factors.
First, the decline in the enrollment was much smaller
than had been anticipated and the University's income
from tuition fees was consequently much larger. In the
second place, many departments did not spend the total
amounts appropriated for their use.

Since, also, the war emergency and the difficult postwar adjustments had temporarily checked the rate of
progress in certain of the most important educational
projects in which the University had been engaged for
two decades or more, the time seemed to be ripe for a
review and an appraisal of these.
Accordingly, the last two annual reports of the Chancellor have dealt chiefly with these matters. The report
for the year 1947-1948 attempted to assess the future
drawing power of the several divisions of the University,
and reviewed at some length the evolution of the University's principal educational innovations. The report for
the year 1948-1949 presented a forecast of the enrollment
that might be expected in the different divisions following
the exit of the veterans, and sought to define and to account for the demand for additional educational services,
especially in the field of graduate instruction. Both reports, while noting the favorable financial position of the
University at the time of their preparation and recording
the building up of a reserve fund to cushion the immediate
shock of a sudden contraction in the scale of the institution's operations, emphasized the inadequacy of existing
resources to provide a satisfactory level of salaries for
the teaching staff and to support urgently needed improvements and expansions.
Nothing that had occurred before the latter part of
June, 1950, suggested that the estimates either of the attendance which the University might expect in the near
future, or of the changing incidence of the demands confronting it, were at fault. Plans for the year 1950-1951,
including arrangements for staffing the departments of
instruction and the formulation of the budget, were based
upon these estimates.
In the few weeks that have elapsed since that date,
however, the United States Government has taken the
first steps toward military and industrial mobilization in
order to carry out its commitment to assist the United
Nations in repelling the invasion of South Korea. Up to
the time of the preparation of this report the mobilization
has been only partial. But the machinery of the draft is
already in operation; members of the military reserves
are being called into active service; young people of military age are once more beset by uncertainty and do not
know what decisions to make with respect to their educational careers.
It is still too early to predict the extent to which this
new and wholly unforeseen situation will affect the University's enrollment during 1950-1951, or to determine
whether any of its operational plans for the year will
have to be seriously altered. If national mobilization
should remain partial, the results of it may cause the University no great embarrassment. If, on the other hand,
the Government should decide to undertake complete and
rapid mobilization, all universities are likely to be profoundly affected, and in ways that cannot now be foreseen.

The new Law School Building, erected on the site of the
old building on Eagle Street, was completed in the early
autumn of 1949 and immediately occupied. The new building is not only a strikingly effective piece of architectural
design; it is also admirably furnished and equipped and
should serve the needs of the Law School adequately for
many years to come. In addition, all of its classrooms and
lecture halls are available in the evening for the use of
Millard Fillmore College. The building also provides a
suite of rooms as the headquarters of the Bar Association
of Erie County. The close contact thus established between active members of the bar on the one hand and the
professors and students of the School on the other is already proving of mutual advantage.
Minor reconstructions and alterations have continued to
be made in several of the campus buildings to provide
further offices and laboratory facilities.
My last annual report presented a detailed discussion
of three additional building needs, namely, the long projected new building to house the Schools of Medicine and
Dentistry, a building to replace Townsend Hall, and another general purpose building on the campus to provide
more classrooms, laboratory and office space. Developments within the year have empahsized the urgency
especially of the first two of these needs.
Action on the Medical-Dental Building and Townsend Hall
The Committee on General Administration has been
acutely conscious of the critical character of both of these
situations and has devoted much time throughout the
year to the consideration of the problems involved. When
it became apparent that the University could look for no
immediate aid from State or Federal sources to expedite
the erection of the Medical-Dental Building, the Committee instructed the Committee on Buildings and Grounds
to review once more with the officers of the two schools
the original plans for the building to determine whether
the estimated space requirements might be reduced in
order to bring the project more nearly within the University's available resources. The result was a thorough revision of the preliminary plans and a sizeable reduction
in the estimated cost of the structure. The revised project
has the endorsement of the deans and the department
heads of the two schools.
The Committee on Buildings and Grounds was also authorized to engage an architect to prepare detailed plans
and specifications for a building to replace Townsend Hall,
and to submit the plans and specifications to contractors
for competitive bidding. These actions were taken and the
bids were opened by the Committee June 23, 1950. The low
bids, together with the architect's fees, totaled $712,000.
The Committee then voted to report to the Council that
the plans and bids were acceptable, and to recommend
that the Council take action at once to forward the erection of both a new Townsend Hall and the Medical-Dental

PRINCIPAL EVENTS OF THE YEAR

The Enrollment
It was expected that the total student population of the
University during the year under review would be at least
10% smaller than that of the preceding year. Actually
the decline was less than 2%, The overall figures were
13,563 for the year 1948-1949 and 13,320 for 1949-1950.
The principal enrollment losses occurred in the three
largest campus divisions. Losses in all these divisions

Building.

The report of the Committee was presented to the
Council at the meeting held June 27, 1950. In the course
the discussion of the report the following facts and
opinions were brought out:
1. The combined cost of the two building projects
would probably amount to between $3,250,000 and $3,500,000. Present and prospective resources of the University
that might be devoted to these purposes—without invading endowment funds or the Income Stabilization Fund
of

�3

December, 1950
would fall at least $1,000,000 short of the required sum,
and probably more.
2. The bids submitted for the erection of the building
to replace Townsend Hall must be accepted within 30
days of the date on which they were opened.
3. Detailed plans and specifications for the MedicalDental Building on which contractors could be asked to
bid had not yet been prepared.
4. If the Council should proceed at once with the erection of a new Townsend Hall, the cost of that operation
would have to be met from funds that might otherwise be
applied to the construction of the Medical-Dental Building. Thus the latter undertaking would be still further
delayed.

5. The provision of new quarters for the Schools of
Medicine and Dentistry was put first among the purposes
for which the Centennial Fund Campaign was conducted
in 1947.
Substantial subscriptions were made by the
alumni and friends of both schools—many of the subscriptions being specifically earmarked for the proposed
building—on the understanding that this project would
take precedence over all other major additions to the University's plant. The alumni organizations of both schools,
the General Alumni Board, and the central administrative
officers of the University had formally gone on record as
believing that the University is committed to assigning
to the Medical-Dental Building first priority among future
building operations.
In the light of the discussion the Council voted: (a) not
to accept the bids on Townsend Hall at the present time;
(b) to instruct the Committee on General Administration
to authorize the Committee on Buildings and Grounds to
have detailed plans and specifications for the MedicalDental Building prepared and to seek bids on these as
soon as they were completed; and (c) to secure new bids
on the Townsend Hall plans at the same time. If work on
the specifications for the Medical-Dental Building were
begun forthwith, it was assumed that the bids on both
projects could be laid before the Council simultaneously
within five or six months.
The Council also authorized the Chairman to appoint
a special advisory committee of members of the Council,
representatives of alumni groups and officers of the University, this committee to confer frequently with the
Committee on Buildings and Grounds, to keep the alumni
organizations constantly informed of the progress of the
building plans, and to study the feasibility of attempting
to raise additional funds by special subscription to finance
one or both of the undertakings.
A New Campus Building and Dormitories
The Committee on Buildings and Grounds has also had
preliminary plans prepared for an addition to Science Hall
which would approximately treble the capacity of that
structure. The cost of the addition has been tentatively
estimated at $455,773. The extra space that such a building would provide would effectively relieve the overcrowding which has so seriously hampered the campus divisions
during the last four years.
Early in the year the Committee on Buildings and
Grounds was further requested to consider the possibility
of erecting residence halls on a self-liquidating basis. It
has secured preliminary plans and estimates for residences
for both men and women, and is presently engaged in
studying the experience of other institutions with the financing of dormitory construction and operation.

Establishment of a New Division
On April 25, 1950, the Committee on General Administration, acting for the Council, approved establishment
of a new division of the University, to be known as the
Division of General and Technical Studies. It appointed
Professor John A. Beane, Dean of Millard Fillmore College, Director of the Division. The Chancellor subsequently appointed a governing committee drawn from the
faculties of the College of Arts and Sciences, and the
Schools of Business Administration and Engineering to
assist the Director in organizing the work of the Division.
The Division is empowered to offer two year courses of
study leading to the degrees of Associate in Arts and Associate in Applied Science. The courses will be designed
to meet the needs of persons who are unable or who do
not wish to enroll in one of the regular four year undergraduate curricula, but who desire to pursue a definitely
organized shorter program of higher education. The background of the action creating this new administrative
unit is perhaps worth reviewing.

The Temporary Commission on the need for a State
University, which reported to the Legislature of the State
of New York in 1948, called attention to the existing deficiency of opportunities for general and technical education extending two years beyond high school graduation.
It recommended that the deficiencybe remedied as rapidly
as possible by the establishment of two year community
colleges in the principal centers of population throughout the State.
The act creating the State University of New York,
passed in 1948 as the result of the Commission's report,
specifically directed the Trustees of the University to prepare a master plan for the establishment of community
colleges. As envisaged by the Act, the community colleges are to be public institutions financed jointly by the
State and the localities. The locality and the State will
each contribute half of the capital cost. The State, the
locality, and the students (through tuition fees) will each
pay one third of the cost of operation.
During the past year the officers of the State University
have been studying the need for community colleges in
the several regions and have published preliminary findings. Their report notes that a shortage of definitely organized two year post high school courses of both a general and a technical character exists in the Buffalo area.
Within the year, also, the Regents of the University of
the State of New York have authorized the awarding of
the new degrees of Associate in Arts and Associate in
Applied Science to graduates of approved two year terminal courses conducted by public and private higher in-

stitutions.
The University of Buffalo has for a number of years
granted certificates in Arts and Sciences, in Business
Administration and in Engineering to students who have
satisfactorily completed two years of study in these fields.
For the most part, the programs for the completion of
which the certificates have been given have represented
fractional parts of the longer four year programs leading
to the regular baccalaureate degrees. As such they have
been neither as useful nor as attractive as they might
have been to the students who have followed them.
It seems unlikely that the City of Buffalo will take
steps to establish a public community college in the near
future. Meanwhile an opportunity exists for the University to render another valuable educational service to a
considerable number of young people of this area. The
faculties and administrative officers of the Arts College
and the Schoolsof Business and Engineering were further
encouraged to lay the proposal for the new division before
the Council by the action of the Regents authorizing the
conferral of the associate's degree. The initial programs
of the new division have been approved by the State Education Department.

The Speech Clinic

In September, 1949, a Speech Clinic was set up under
the Department of Drama and Speech of the College of
Arts and Sciences. Dr. Katherine F. Thorn, Associate
Professor of Drama and Speech, was designated its Director. The functions of the Clinic are the examination of
persons, both students and outsiders, who are suffering
from speech difficulties; the diagnosis and treatment where
possible of their speech defects; the conduct of instruction
in speech pathology and speech correction for students
specializing in speech and for those preparing themselves
for teaching careers; and cooperation with other agencies
of the area which are engaged in speech therapy. The
Clinic maintains close working relations with the Psychological Clinic.
Teachers, psychologists and physicians have long been
aware of the paucity of facilities in this region for the scientific study and treatment of speech defect. The entry
of the University in this field is especially welcome not
only to the Departments of Pediatrics and Otolaryngology
of the Medical School and the Department of Psychology,
but also to the hospitals, the public school systems and
the teacher training institutions of the Niagara Frontier.

The Chronic Disease Research Institute

At a public ceremony held May 16, 1950, the Honorable
Oscar Ewing, Administrator of the Federal Security
Agency, formally transferred to the University of Buffalo
the custody of the Marine Hospital of Buffalo under
agreement that it be operated by the University with the
cooperation of the New York State Health Department
as a Chronic Disease Research Institute. The ceremony

�Alumni Bulletin

marked the culmination of a long series of negotiations
and events.
The Council is familiar with the notable success of the
Rehabilitation and Information Center for Alcoholism, a
pioneering clinic for alcoholics, which has been conducted
for the last two years under the direction of the Medical
School in the Medical School Building. The demand for
the clinic's services had by the autumn of 1949 so far
overtaxed the physical facilities and the operating funds
available that it was decided to appeal to the N. Y. Legislature for the financial support necessary to put the enterprise on a satisfactory basis.
Meanwhile, the United States Public Health Service discontinued the Marine Hospital of Buffalo, and announced
that the property would be declared surplus on January
1, 1950, unless it could be used for public health purposes.
The Director of the Rehabilitation and Information
Center for Alcoholism therefore proposed that effort
should be made to acquire certain of the Marine Hospital
buildings to house the Center. At this stage the New
York State Public Health Department saw the possibility
not only of enlarging this important pilot study of alcoholism, but also of taking the first step toward realizing
a long standing plan of the Department for developing
a research program in chronic diseases in each upstate
region served by a medical school. Negotiations were accordingly entered into by the State Commissioner of
Health, the Honorable Walter J. Mahoney, Chairman of
the Finance Committee of the Senate, and officers of the
University, as the result of which legislation was subsequently passed that provided for support by the State of
a Chronic Disease Research Institute to be operated by
the Medical School of the University of Buffalo under the
general supervision of the New York State Public Health
Department.

For the sake of the record it is worth noting that
several separate agreements involving the United States
Government, the State of New York and the University
(a) the United
were necessary to implement the project:
States Government, while retaining ownership of the
to
the University
Hospital,
assigned
property
Marine
the
to house a research institute for chronic diseases; (b) the
New
maintenance
of the
State of
York undertook the
property and support of a program of research in probalcoholism
diseases,
including
lems relating to chronic
to
and the rehabilitation of the physically handicapped,
be carried on in the buildings by the University of Buffalo;
and (c) the University accepted custody of the premises
and agreed to use them for an institute for research in
chronic diseases.
The Legislature appropriated $200,000 for the upkeep
of the property and the support of the Institute in the
fiscal year 1950-1951. Of this amount $50,000 was specifically budgeted for the Rehabilitation and Information
Center for Alcoholism. The Center was moved to the
Marine Hospital plant on June 1. 1950.
Through these agreements a remarkable opportunity is
presented to the Medical School to develop a far reaching
program of research in the relatively little explored field
of chronic disease. Moreover, no part of the cost of the
undertaking is to be charged to the University's budget.

Changes in Administrative Personnel

Dr. Russell W. Groh resigned as Dean of the School of
Dentistry on January 1, 1950, to accept appointment as
Chief of Dental Service at the newly established Veterans
Hospital in Buffalo. Dr. Groh retains his Professorship of
Operative Dentistry and will be responsible for directing
the cooperative relationship between the Veterans Hospital and the Dental School.
Dr. Leon J. Gauchat, Professor of Principles of Practice, accepted appointment as Acting Dean of the School
of Dentistry on January 1, 1950, and Dean of the School
on May 1, 1950.
Dr. Louis L. Jaffe resigned as Dean of the School of
Law on June 30, 1950, to accept appointment as Professor
of Law at Harvard University. Until his successor is
designated the School will be administered by the Executive Committee of the Law Faculty under the chairmanship of the Dean of Administration.

THE ELECTION OF A NEW CHANCELLOR

On May 8, 1950, the Council unanimously elected Dr.
Thomas Raymond McConnell eighth Chancellor of the
University of Buffalo, to take office September 1, 1950.
In the opinion of the present incumbent the choice of
Dr. McConnell for the Chancellorship is an exceptionally
happy one. He brings to the office a most varied experience in teaching and administration together with an unusually wide knowledge of educational conditions in the
United States and in foreign countries. Through his effec-

tive service on numerous national boards and commissions, and through his writings, he has won a distinguished
place among the leaders of higher education in America.
The University is fortunate indeed that he has consented
to become its chief administrative officer.

Conclusion

It would be impossible for anyone to have a more rewarding professional experience than has fallen to my lot
during the twenty-eight years of my connection with the
University of Buffalo. That it has been so satisfying is
due in large measure to the Council. As a corporate body
the Council has not only given the University loyal and
unstinted and highly productive service; it has also given
the Chancellor consistent support in all his official activities, and consideration and honor far beyond his desserts.
As individuals the members of the Council have given him
as well friendship and delightful personal associations.
My gratitude for all these benefits is beyond my power to

express.
And for the University my wish may best be summed
up in the ancient Latin phrase that has been traditional
in the academic world from the days of the medieval universities; Vivat, crescat, floreat in aeternum.
Respectfully submitted.

The James McCormiek Mitchell Lecture Fund
In May, 1950. Mrs. James McC. Mitchell donated to the
University the sum of $28,000 "to establish and maintain
a lecture fund for the Law School in memory of James
McC. Mitchell
the principal of such fund to be held in
trust and the income only to be used in such manner as
the Council of the University may determine from time
to time, to provide lectures in the Law School on suitable
subjects in addition to the regular course of instruction,
and to publish such lectures if deemed desirable."
Mr. Mitchell's connection with the University extended
over more than half a century. He graduated from the
Law School in the Class of 1897. For sixteen years he
was a member of the Council. For the last eleven years
before his death he gave the Council distinguished leadership as its Chairman. He was a consistent and generous contributor to the University's funds. This foundation, which will bear his name in perpetuity and will bring
to the University eminent legal authorities for occasional
lectures, is a welcome and fitting memorial to his life and
services.

REPORT

OF THE

COMPTROLLER

(Abstract)
To the Chancellor and Council of the University of Buffalo:
If the Treasurer might be permitted to depart briefly
from the realm of financial matters, it would be to pay
special tribute to Chancellor Samuel Paul Capen who retires this year from the scene of University activities. For
28 years he has guided the destiny of the University. The
institution he hands over to those who will succeed him is
ample testimony to the courage and wisdom of his leadership. Apart from his scholarly attainments, his insight
into the financial affairs of the University, his rare understanding of balance sheets and operating statements and
his forthright skill in handling operating problems have
marked him as unique among University administrators.
Almost never has he had sufficient funds to accomplish
all his purposes or to satisfy all the University's needs.
Always, however, he has done far more than would have
seemed possible with the limited resources at hand. He
has been a staunch colleague throughout these years. Together he and the Treasurer have found ways and means
to accomplish things which were sorely needed but which
at first seemed out of reach. Together they have shared
a jealous pride in watching the institution grow in resources and prestige and favor in the community. The
University which ChancellorCapen leaves has been molded
in his pattern for the past 28 years; its future he leaves
to those who remain and to those who will come after him.
The annual report of the Comptroller and Treasurer for
the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1950 is presented
herewith.
Exhibit "A," the Balance Sheet of the University, shows
Total Assets on June 30, 1950 of $21,779,299.66, distributed as follows: Endowment Assets and Funds Temporarily Functioning as Endowment Assets, $8,351,156.34;
Centennial Campaign Fund Assets, $690,794.50; Plant
Fund Assets, $9,870,125.06; Operating Fund Assets, $2,-867,223.76. Endowment Assets and Funds Temporarily
Functioning as Endowment Assets have increased $802,-510.14 during the year under review, chiefly through the
addition of the Dr. James E. King bequest of $348,966.09,
including accumulated interest, and the Mrs. Edward J.
Meyer bequest for the establishment of the Edward J.
Meyer Laboratory Fund of $197,468.97, including accumulated interest. Temporarily these two bequests have been
added to the Special Purpose Endowment Funds where interest is being added at the current rate of return earned
on the University's investment pool. Eventually they will
be used toward the construction of the proposed MedicalDental Building on the campus, where special wings of
the building will be named in honor of Dr. James F. King
and Dr. Edward J. Meyer.
Exhibit "B" is an analysis of Land, Buildings and Equipment as at June 30, 1950. At June 30, 1949 total Land,
Buildings and Equipment were carried at $9,231,238.42;
at June 30, 1950 at $9,588,043.28, an increase for the year
of $356,804.86. The increase arises largely from the cost
of completion of the new Law School Building, which was
opened for occupancy last fall; from additions to the
scientific equipment for the Engineering Building and from
improvements to various other University properties.
The current operating position of the University is best
determined from the following comparative table of Operating Income and Expense of the University for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 1948, June 30, 1949 and June
30, 1950:

table it will be noted that Total
Income for the year 1949-50 was $3,938,887.18 while Total
OperatingExpense was $3,559,626.55, resulting in an operating surplus for the year of $379,260.63. From this operating surplus the sum of $40,000.00 was appropriated to
Plant Funds for certain special purposes, leaving a net
surplus for the year of $339,260.63. This may well be the
last operating surplus for several years to come. The
decline in veteran enrollment which set in a year ago has
accelerated during the year under review, with the result
that income from students fees was $141,612.89 less than
for the peak year 1948-1949 when fees received from the
students reached an all-time high of $3,837,204.20. As
was pointed out a year ago, the exodus of veterans is
somewhat more slow than was their influx at the outset
of the G. I. training program, but the problems attendant
thereto are cause for real concern. For example, even in
the face of falling revenue, total expenses have continued
to increase. The largest single expense item, of course, is
Salaries of Instruction, which during the year 1949-50 rose
to $2,002,949.59, an increase of $73,823.59 over the preceding year. Expenses of Administration likewise climbed to
$533,233.15, an increase of $37,547.43 over the preceding
year. Operation and Maintenance of Buildings was up
$24,375.23; the University Library expense was up $17,--115.97; as well as other educational expenses. It has
been possible to curtail expenses in many departments
but it will neither be possible nor desirable to cut expenses
back to meet the falling revenue from student fees which
represents 93.8% of total income. So, for at least some
time into the future, the University faces years of careful
budgeting and conserving its resources. The Korean war,
with its implications of partial or complete mobilization,
looms as a new threat to universities and colleges
throughout the land. No one can anticipate at this time
to what extent it will affect student enrollment, nor what
emergency measures the Government will have to take
to meet a possible war threat.
Fortunately the University of Buffalo, for the moment
at least, is in a good financial position. It has no debts.
Its Income Stabilization Fund of $1,000,000 was designed
to meet just such exigencies as the University now faces.
Its Operating Fund Surplus, likewise, is just what its
name implies, a reserve for current operations. These
two funds can absorb current deficits for several years, if
necessary. It is to be hoped that neither of these funds
will be invaded for building purposes.
The University has many building needs. For example,
the need for a new Medical-Dental Building is clearly
recognized; a new building on the Townsend Hall site,
which houses Millard Fillmore College, the School of
Nursing, the School of Social Work and the Treasurer's
Office is greatly needed; the need for dormitories on the
campus as well as additional laboratory space is a growing need. Two of these building needs have come into the
foreground of consideration during the year underreview;
namely, the Townsend Hall need and the new MedicalFrom the foregoing

Dental Building on the campus. For several years it has
been recognized that the operations conducted in Townsend Hall had outgrown the structure. Last fall the
building was deemed by city fire and building authorities
to be a fire hazard and all classes have been removed
from the third and fourth floors of that building to other
locations. Temporarily it may be possible to conduct Millard Fillmore College classes on the campus and elsewhere
without seriously affecting its enrollment. University administrative officers, however, recognize that as quickly
as possible a suitable modern structure must be erected
on the Townsend Hall site to accommodate the thousands
of Buffalo's population who are employed in the downtown area and who throng to the University's night school
classes. For almost 30 years these persons have sought
out the downtown Millard Fillmore College for their night
school education, and by their steady demand for its offerings, have made it prosper beyond any other division of
the University. To abandon these downtown classes permanently is, of course, unthinkable.
The new Medical-Dental Building on the campus awaits
only the funds necessary for the completion of the project. Certain funds, largely gifts and bequests, are in
hand for that project but they are not sufficient for a
building of the size contemplated. It is to be hoped that
the Special Committee at work on that problem will find
the ways and means to proceed with the project in the
near future.
Exhibit "D" is a record of the securities held in the
University's invested funds as at June 30, 1950. In the
Endowment Account, United States, State and Municipal
Government Bonds, purchased by the University, and excluding gifts, yielded an average of 1.74% on the actual
investment' Foreign Government Bonds, 3.49%; Railroad
Bonds, 3.37%; Public Utility Bonds, 2.70%; Industrial
Bonds, 2.50%: Stocks. 5.96%. The average yield on all
stocks and bonds purchased and owned by the University
in the Endowment Fund, and excluding gifts, was 4.00%.
In its other investments in the Centennial Fund Account,
Operating Fund Account, and Plant Fund Account the
University is compelled to invest in short term securities,
which can be converted to cash as operating or building
of course,
needs demand. The yield on such securities is,
very low. In its Endowment Fund Account, however, the
yield of 4.00% is well in keeping with the average yields

earned on the Endowment Funds of other universities.
On June 30, 1950, the stocks and bonds in the University
Endowment portfolio which had been purchased by the
University, excluding gifts, were classified as follows, on
the basis of market worth: United States, State and
Municipal Government Bonds, 43.10%; Foreign Government Bonds 4.73%; Railroad Bonds, 4.38%; Public Utility
Bonds, 1.48%; Industrial Bonds, 1.23%; Public Utility
Preferred Stocks, 4.45%; Industrial Preferred Stocks,
319%; Investment Trust Preferred Stocks, .54%; Railroad Common Stocks, 1.20%; Public Utility Common
Stocks, 4.15%; Bank Capital Stocks, 4.81%; Insurance
Common Stocks, 6.55%; Industrial Common Stocks,
17.38%; Investment Trust Common Stocks, 2.81%. The
market value on June 30, 1950 of the stocks and bonds
in the University Endowment portfolio was 112.01% of
their book value, or $928,777.32 in excess of their cost or
book value.
Collections on the University's Centennial Fund pledges
continue to be well ahead of schedule. Payments through
June 30, 1950 amounting to $1,301,190.91 equal 78.56% of
total subscriptions aggregating $1,656,241.01.
The Alumni Loyalty Fund, likewise, continues to pour
its generous gifts into the University's funds.
The exhibits and schedules which are annexed to and
form a part of this report deserve to be studied with great
care. They disclose the real size and growth of the University's operations. The Council, the faculty, the Alumni
and friends of the University may take just pride in the
undertaking in which they have had so large a participation. None of us, however, can afford to view with complacency the University's position today. The problems
inherent in its situation are very real and will become increasingly pressing. Chief among these problems are the
need for a building program and the need for additional
Endowment Funds, yielding free income, to stabilize the
delicate balance between operating income and expense.
These problems have been referred to in previous Treasurer's reports. To their solution in the very near future, the
Council, Alumni, and friends of the University must soon
give serious consideration.
Respectfully submitted,

P. B. GOETZ, COUNCIL SECRETARY, DIES
Secretary of the University's Council for 34 years and
a member of that body since 1914, Philip Becker Goetz
died after a long illness on December Ist, 1950.
Undoubtedly the most compelling interest of Mr.
Goetz's professional life was the development of the University and especially of its College of Arts &amp; Science.
He was active in the plans which led to the acquisition
of its present campus and, when the first modest beginning of the College took place in 1913, was one of the
volunteer faculty. Later he gave up his high school post
to become head of the departments of English and

Classics.
As Chancellor Emeritus Capen said of him: "To all who
knew him even casually it is likely that his life's most
earnest and persistent desire will seem to be best summed
up in his own words, the words of the University of Buffalo Chorale, of which he also composed the music:
'Spirit of beauty, love and truth
Enter these hearts of youth;
Reveal the glory that shall be
Seen of all men beholding Thee.' "

JANUARY, 1951

DR. McCONNELL INAUGURATED AS EIGHTH CHANCELLOR
Two full pages of pictures of Inauguration
activities will be found on pages 4 and 5.

by guests introduced by Dean of Administration Claude E. Puffer. The speakers and excerpts from their remarks follow:
Faculty, Dr. John T. Horton, BA '26,
head of the history department:
"The faculty, sir, especially rejoices to
bid you welcome because the auspices indicate this tradition bequeathed you by
your predecessor you will maintain as
long as you may here abide. That you
may abide happily as well as long is the
faculty's hope; that as long as you abide
liberty and learning will prosper together
and the university wax in renown for the
prosperity of both is the faculty's belief."
lor

An impressive and colorful academic
procession of delegates from more than
universities, colleges and learned societies threaded its way into the auditorium of Kleinhans Music Hall on Saturday morning, January 6th, to begin the
stirring two-hour ceremony which formally inaugurated Dr. T. Raymond McConnell as eighth chancellor of the 105-year-old University of Buffalo.
After glowing tributes and greetings
from educational, civic, alumni, and student leaders, Dr. McConnell accepted the
charter and great seal of the University
from Seymour H. Knox, chairman of the
Council.

From the Alumni

With Humility and Courage

In accepting these symbols of his office,
the new chancellor told the audience of
1200 people: "I do so with humility because I am conscious of the devotion to
the University of all of those who have
made it into the distinguished institution
it is today. And I respond with courage
because I shall workbeside able and loyal
men and women dedicated to a still
greater university, more eminent in scholarship and more effective in its service to
the great Niagara Frontier."
Chancellor McConnell cited the fact
that many thousands of citizens had contributed to the University's three endowment campaigns and added: "I am certain
that nowhere else can such widespread
underwriting of private higher education
be found."
The new chancellor praised the University's "revitalized" alumni body, saying:
"By their annual gifts, their sensitive
understanding of the University's true
mission, their pride in its accomplishments, and their jealous guardianship of
its intellectual freedom, they are projecting their alma mater into a future of
greater usefulness."
Dr. McConnell also praised the faculty
which he described as "devoted to the
ideals of scholarship and the search for
truth, loyal to the University and its constituency."

In speaking of his predecessor, Chancellor Emeritus Samuel P. Capen, he
pointed out that Dr. Capen "took the institution 28 years ago when it was a loose
federation and led it to full stature as a
university." Dr. Capen was on the platform with Council members and faculty,
but did not speak.
A "General Education"
Dr. McConnell based the greater part
of his inaugural message on the premise
that every American university today must
prepare its students to live as free men,
to understand and appreciate the ideas,
the institutions, and the values underlying
the nation's democratic society. In a comprehensive discussion of higher education
today, he also stated a firm belief in "general education", stating that: "I have be-

come

convinced that

we

have over-em-

phasized specific training to the detriment
of an intellectual grasp of the fundamental disciplines upon which intelligent
practice and the advancement of technology depend."
Then, speaking slowly and forcefully,
Dr. McConnell went on to his discussion
of the clash of ideologies in the world
today.
Clash of Ideologies
"Certainly", he said, "it is a conflict of
ideas of vast significance. But it is also

much more. The momentous issues that
divide the democratic and totalitarian systems are profoundly moral and spiritual.
And it is these intellectual, moral, and
spiritual issues that the universities, devoted so largely to professional studies;
the faculties, so absorbed in their specialisms; and the students, so intent on their
particular interests and careers, frequently
ignore.

..

"In essence, the choice between a free
society and an authoritative system is a
choice between values. .
"In arousing a concern for values on
the part of university students one need
not indoctrinate; instead, he may incite
quest and self-discovery.
"Perhaps because we have been inclined
to take our freedom for granted, we have
made the mistake of assuming that democracy is a simple concept. Actually, democracy is a complex form of human association, far more complicated than totalitarian philosophies and systems of government. Rights, equality, freedom, and justice are complex ideas, difficult to grasp
yet central to an understanding of democracy.

. . .

"There may have been a time when we
as people could take our system of government thoughtlessly and accept its freedoms casually, but that time is past.
Neither can the colleges and universities
afford longer to take our way of life for
granted, any more than they are justified
in treating it chauvinistically or complacently."
Preceding the inaugural address, formal
greetings were extended the new chancel-

Alumni, Dr. J. Frederick Painton, BS
(Mcd) '27, MD '27, president of the General Alumni Board:
"It is my privilege and pleasure as
President of the General Alumni Board,
the representative and governing body of
the University of Buffalo's 17,000 living
alumni, to convey to you, Dr. Thomas
Raymond McConnell, on this memorable
day, the greetings and best wishes of the
graduates of our beloved University.
"I can assure you, Mr. Chancellor, that
the alumni of this University are interested in their Alma Mater. They are
not eager to dictate policies in the University but simply to work and cooperate
with you to attain and insure educational
and financial independence of the University who selected you as its eighth chancellor.
"As head of this University Mr. Chancellor, you have the right to expect the
fullest support both spiritual and financial
from the alumni. Many college administrators have publicly stated that the
future of the independent university lies
directly in the hands of the alumni and it
is quite obvious that same situation applies to our own University.
"To the alumni that are present or who
may have an opportunity to read this
message, I should like to state that, in
the short time Dr. McConnell has been
with us, your officers have had several
opportunities to sit down and meet with
him and discuss alumni and University
matters. On all occasions the welcome
sign was evident and I should like to express to you, Mr. Chancellor, my personal appreciation as well as that of die
alumni organizations for the sincere interest you have so early demonstrated to
the alumni in their efforts to be of assistance to you and to the University. Such
genuine interest on your part augurs well
for a continuing and effective relation-

ship.

"In conclusion, Dr. McConnell, I want
know the alumni welcome your

you to

distinguished leadership of this

great

University and they anticipate with pleasure further opportunities of working with
you to insure the future success of our
Alma Mater, both from an educational
and financial point of view."

(Continued

Students, Theodore W. Breach, president of Norton Union:
"Last year, when it became known that
there was to be a new chancellor at the
University of Buffalo, we students began
wondering what this change would mean
to us. Even though we were mainly concerned with the problems that evolve
around the pursuit of a college education,
we wondered how our future would be
affected.
"During the last four months we have
seen some of those things about which we
once wondered become something quite
material. Also, we have come to know
you as our new chancellor. We have met
with you during committee meetings, we
have talked to you in your office on topics
that have been both pleasant and unpleasant and we have chatted with you
informally on the walks about the campus.
"In this time we can say that you have
never once failed to show sincere interest
and concern in our problems, regardless
of how small they have been."
From the Community

Community, Hon. Joseph Mruk, Mayor
of Buffalo:
"I am confident you will never permit
the substitution of license for freedom,
nor distortion of fundamental truths.
Neither will you permit or allow infiltration of ideas or teaching that would
undermine our democracy
I am immensely happy a man of your calibre has
been chosen to lead our fine university
and I speak the feelings of all our citizens in welcoming you to Buffalo. ..."
State, Dr. Lewis A. Wilson, New York
State Commissioner of Education:
"For more than 100 years, the Regents
and the State Education Department have
observed with interest and with pride the
contribution of this institution to the cultural and economic life of our great state.
"A growing and influential university
requires dynamic leadership. This university has been unusually fortunate in the
selection of leaders who were men of
vision. Samuel P. Capen, chancellor for
nearly 30 years, guided this institution
through many difficult times, and left the
mark of his greatness on the present character of the university.
"Thus, it was with great pleasure that
we received word that Thomas Raymond
McConnell had been elected to the chancellorship; his selection has received wide
acclaim from educators in this state.

Education:

"The University of Buffalo, in which I
had the good fortune to study and to
serve as an officer, is not the largest,
wealthiest, or oldest university in the
country, but it is unquestionably one of
the most distinguished."
He lauded the University's "spirit of
free inquiry, the dedication of the entire
academic enterprise to the endless search
for truth and the right of faculty members
and students to take and to defend any
position regarding man or the universe
which their reason dictates."
"It is my sincere opinion that no man
in American higher education is better
qualfied to direct the destiny of this insti-

tution in the critical years ahead than T.
Raymond McConnell.
"With the help of the citizens of this
community, the council of the university
and the faculty, Dr. McConnell will provide the type of statesmanlike leadership
which will further enhance in the eyes of
the world this institution and the city
whose name it bears."
From American Universities

American Universities, Dr. Arthur S.
Adams, President of the American Council on Education:
"The University of Buffalo has had a
peculiarly close relationship to the American Council on Education. It has been
affiliated with the Council for 28 years
and Chancellor Capen was the Council's
first administrative head.
"Your new leader, Chancellor McConnell, has also served the council well
through his many important contributions
to its measurement and guidance activities. Dr. McConnell will continue as
chairman of the council's Committee on
Measurement &amp; Evaluation this year and
is one of the three representatives of the
council on the governing board of the recently created Educational Testing Service.
"Because he has a special competence
in dealing with individuals, he is particularly well fitted to lead the university
at this critical time."
After the inauguration exercises, a luncheon for the delegates was held in Norton Hall on the campus followed by a
public reception for Chancellor and Mrs.
McConnell in the main reading room of
Lockwood Memorial Library.

Program To Aid

Frontier Industry
Chancellor McConnell this month announced that the University is preparing
to offer a wide variety of services to
Niagara Frontier industries, as well as to
armed forces and government agencies.
A "defense committee" has been established to arrange special educational programs to meet industry's needs either on
company property or in University class-

rooms.

More than 600 persons from the Niagara Frontier community gathered in the
main ballroom of Hotel Statler on Friday
evening, January sth, to pay tribute to the
University's new chancellor at a civic dinner in his honor.
Two of the nation's leading educators
were the keynote speakers and, in their
remarks, emphasized that military manpower requirements—present and anticipated—will impair the efforts of universities in producing indispensable resources
for national defense unless government
and military heads thoughtfully consider
university needs and efforts.
Dr. Lewis Morrill, president of the
University of Minnesota, and Dr. Oliver
C. Carmichael, chairman of the Board of
Trustees of the State University of New
York, also highlighted the increasingly
important role that friends and alumni of
the universities must play in the survival
of independent institutions.
Council President Seymour H. Knox, in
extending his greetings to the civic representatives at the dinner, announced that
the University shortly will embark on a
campaign among its friends and alumni to
raise funds for an extensive building program, the first goal of which will be
$1,250,000 for the proposed $3,650,000
medical-dental building on the campus.
Other goals in the drive, he announced,
would be a new laboratory and classroom
building, residence halls, and adequate
facilities for Millard Fillmore College.

Dr. McConnell Dicusses
Draft With Students
Chancellor T. Raymond McConnellperformed an invaluable service this month
for the University's 2,100 men students on
the campus when he discussed with them
the military manpower situation and its
effects upon them.
Calling for long-range thinking, the
Chancellor pointed out that the federal
government must adopt a policy designed
to provide a steady flow of "trained men
for leadership of all types—political,
economic, military, and religious".
Dr. McConnell appealed to the students
to avoid "any form of mass behavior
which is essentially imitative and impulsive in character. It is both to the nation's and your own advantage to stay in
the University as long as you possibly
can", he urged, cautioning students not to
be stampeded into premature enlistments.
He concluded, "I believe that when the
decisions are made in the next few weeks
a considerable proportion of the students
already in college will be permitted to
finish. Furthermore, it is likely that some
of the present college students who are
taken into service at the end of the present year will be sent back to college after
four to six months of basic training."

TWO OF FACULTY
PUBLISH THIS MONTH
Books by two University faculty members are off the presses this month, both
of them likely to cause some lively comment in their respective fields.
The first is by Prof. Richard W. Boynton, professor of philosophy and teacher
of hundreds of present alumni. Titled
"Beyond Mythology", it is an unique, unusual book which forcibly challenges the
"organized dogmatism" of present-day
religion, and attempts "to replace supernatural worship with progressive, modern human values."
Alvin W. Gouldner, assistant professor
of sociology, has had published his "Studies in Leadership" which traces the
dimunition of the power of the city boss
with the corresponding growth in the
strength and power of the federal government. One result, he emphasizes, is the
increasingly common "alliance between
local politicians and racketeers".

Crofts to Retire;
Puffer Is Successor
George D. Crofts, comptroller and
the University since 1921,

treasurer of

this month announced his retirement effective June 30th, just 11 days short of
his 30th anniversary in this post. At the
same time, Chancellor T. Raymond MeConnell announced
the appointment of
Dean of Administration Claude E.
Puffer as Mr.
Crofts' successor.
Dr. Puffer, a native of lowa, holds
bachelor's and
master's degrees
from the University
of Washington and
his doctor of philosophy from Stanford University. He
is
46 years old and
Mr. Crofts
has been a member
of the University faculty for the last 12
years, the past five and half as dean of
administration. After teaching at the University of Pittsburgh for two years, he
joined the University as an instructor in
economics in 1938. He also served as
assistant dean of the School of Business
Administration, then acting dean, and in
1945 he was appointed dean of administration, succeeding Dr. Earl J. McGrath,
BA '28, MA '30, now U. S. Commissioner
of Education.
Mr. Crofts, who reached the 70-year
retirement age last July, was praised by
Chancellor McConnell and Council President Seymour H. Knox for his outstanding service to the University for so many
years.

Dr. McConnell said of him: "Few universities have had such far-sighted and
efficient business and plant administration
as the University of Buffalo under Mr.
Crofts. Outstanding is the way in which
the University's financial resources have
been conserved and expanded during his
administration. The University's plant investment has grown
enormously, and
the endowment
funds have been
managed with great
skill and wisdom.
His prudent financial management
has put the University in the best

Dr.

Puffer

possible position to
face the crisis that
all higher institutions, particularly
the privately con-

-

trolled ones, must
undergo in the im-

mediate future."
The retiring treasurer actually has been
associated with the University for 47
years. A native of Buffalo, he received his
law degree from Cornell University in
1903 and started lecturing in the University of Buffalo Law School in 1904 on
contracts and torts. He held the position
for 20 years and now is professor emeritus. He also served as secretary and treasurer of the Law School from 1904 until
the reorganization and centralization of
the University in 1920. The following
year he assumed the post from which he
retires this June.

COUNCIL APPOINTS
DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
University Council Chairman Seymour
H. Knox last week announced the appointment of a Committee on University
Development to plan and organize the
financial resources and expansion of the

University.

Mr. Knox named Paul A. Schoellkopf,
Jr.,chairman, and appointed these Council
members to the Committee: Charles H.
Diefendorf, Lewis G. Harriman, Alex F.
Osborn, and Francis A. Smith. Mr. Knox
and Chancellor McConnell will serve as
ex-officio members.
In announcing the appointment of the
Committee, Mr. Knox said: "The appointment reflects a trend many universities
are following. This emphasizes a widening recognition of the necessity for a continuous plan of development of financial
resources as a regular part of the University's business. It recognizes that an
occasional effort in response to a periodic
emergency is no longer adequate.
"There is general agreement among
these institutions that their most important task is to help build up the
volume of annual giving and to encourage the flow of gifts and bequests, with
occasional capital campaigns as needed
for specific purposes."
Mr. Knox said the Committee would
serve these purposes:
"To consider and study the immediate
and long-range financial needs of the University;
"To keep the alumni informed of these

needs and

encourage

their aid and sup-

port;

build up the volume of annual contributions and the flow of special
gifts, grants, and bequests to the Uni"To help

versity;

of Campus Showing Location of New Med-Dent Building.

The University Council this month
authorized the Buildings and Grounds
Committee to issue plans and specifications and ask for bids on the erection of
the new Medical-Dental Building to be
built on the campus.
Karr Parker, chairman of the Committee, announced: "If the costs approximate
the estimate of $3,625,000 (for the building and equipment), contracts will be let
immediately". Mr. Parker also disclosed
that the time allowed for the completion
of the building is 630 calendar days,
about two years.
The new building will be located on
the Bailey Avenue side of the University
campus, diagonally across the street from
the new Veterans Hospital. It will have
a capacity of 100 medical and 80 dental
students a year, compared with 70 mcdi-

cal and 60 dental accommodated in the
present

buildings.

Chairman Parker stated that the structure will be "the last word in medicaldental school construction. It will be a
reinforced concrete building and will use
a minimum of steel, copper, and other
critical materials. In drawing up the
plans, the faculties of the Medical and
Dental Schools have been consulted frequently and have expressed satisfaction
with the design."
Equipment is a very substantial item in
the total cost of the structure. Bids are
being taken for equipment at the same
time as for construction since many of the
facilities must have electrical, compressed
air, hot-and-cold water, and other special
connections.

"To provide plans to raise funds necessary for the construction and acquisition
of new buildings and equipment and the
rehabilitation of existing buildings;
"To plan the financing offuture educational, research, and scientific projects."
The Committee also has the authority
to establish subcommittees and organize
the necessary personnel for the execution
of its plans.

TWO COUNCIL
MEMBERS ELECTED
Two new members were elected

to

the

University Council at its meeting last

week.
Alex F. Osborn, vice-chairman of the
board of Batten, Barton, Durstine &amp; Osborn, Inc., advertising agency, was elected
to the vacancy caused by the death of
Judge Charles B. Sears. This term expires next

June.

Harold M. Hecht, president of the
Wm. Hengerer Co. of Buffalo, was
elected to the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Horace LoGrasso, MD '04,
appointive member, of the Council who
has removed to California. Mr. Hecht's
term will expire in Tune, 1952.

NUCLEAR RESEARCH
FACILITIES EXTENDED

ALUMNI CALENDAR

By DOROTHY M. HAAS, BS(Bus)'32
Director, Norton Hall

School Administrators
Alumni of the School of Education who
will be attending the American Association of School Administrators meeting in
Atlantic City this month will meet for
luncheon on Tuesday, February 20th, at
12:30 P. M.,in Hotel Madison. Chancellor
T. Raymond McConnell will speak. Reservations may be telephoned or sent to
Dr. Charles Fall, faculty member of the
School of Education, care of the Hotel
Madison.

Medical Alumni Clinic
Dr. G. Stanley Klaiber, BA'3Bf left, assistant professor of physics, and Dr. Lyle
W. Phillips, MA'35, chairman of the
physics department, work on charts of the
new nuclear physics project at the University.

Expansion of the University's physics
laboratories to provide additional facilities for research in nuclear physics was
announced this month by Chancellor McConnell. A new laboratory, relatively isolated from the main part of Science Hall,
is now being constructed and will contain
two cloud chambers and various other
equipment for this particular research.
Dr. Lyle W. Phillips, MA '35, chairman of the physics department, has revealed that a selected staff, consisting
largely of graduate students working on
master's or Ph.D. projects, will conduct
special studies of the behavior of electrons, protons, and other so-called fundamental particles, and especially the way
in which they lose their energy. Dr. G.
Stanley Klaiber, BA '38, assistant professor of physics, will direct the staff in
its studies.
Nuclear physics research at the University has hitherto been scattered through
the physics laboratory. The new facilities
will bring them together in a new large
laboratory being built over the top of the
former heating tunnel which extends
from Science Hall.

The annual spring clinic and class reunions of the alumni of the School of
Medicine will be held on Saturday, April
14th, in Hotel Statler. Joseph D. Godfrey,
MD '31, president of the association, has
a large committee working with him to
provide a top-flight program for an expected attendance of more than 1,000
medical alumni and their guests.

Analytical Chemistry
The annual reunion dinner of the
Analytical Chemistry Alumni Association
will pay special tribute to the association's honorary president, Albert P. Sy,
PhD '08, at the Park Lane on Friday evening, May 11th. Dr. Carl H. Rasch,
AC *25, president, is being assisted in the
arrangements by these officers: Laurence
H. Lockie, AC '22, PhG '19, PhC '21,
BS (Phar) '29, MS (Phar) '48; Vera
Wetmore Jones, AC '23; and M. Smith
Thomas, AC '14, BA '32.

Social Work
Alumni of the School of Social Work
will join with the graduating class of the
School at its annual dinner on Wednesday
evening, May 2nd, at the V.F.W. Post,
Main and Michigan Streets. Student
Council President Michael Morris and
General Alumni Board Representative
Elmer J. Tropman, BA '32, MA '35,
SWk '37, are handling arrangements.

TO A NEW GRADUATE
(The following is an excerpt from a letter
the February graduates of the College
of Arts &amp; Sciences by their long-time dean,

sent to

CLUB PICKS PRATT'S BOOK

Dean Julius W. Pratt's new book,
"America's Colonial Experiment", published in December by Prentiss-Hall, Inc.,
has been selected by the History Book
Club as its selection for April, 1951.
As the title suggests, the volume deals
with how the United States gained, governed, and in part gave away a colonial
empire. Dean Pratt is well-known to hundreds of alumni who have sat in his
classes in American history; they will
recognize in the book another authoritative work by this prominent historian.

LAW, '98, MAKES

100%

For the fourth consecutive year, Law
School's Class of '98 has recorded 100%
participation in the Alumni Loyalty Fund.
Under the leadership of Class Agent
Henry Adsit Bull the tightly-knit group
has established what alumni officers believe is an unique achievement among
university loyalty funds.

DOIN' IN THE UNION

Julian Park).
"There are few earthly things more
splendid than a university. In these days
when every future looks grim and every
ancient foothold has become something
of a quagmire, wherever a university
stands, it stands and shines; wherever it
exists, the free minds of men, urged on to
full and fair enquiry, may still bring
wisdom into human affairs.
"For you who are liberally educated
the lessons of the past do make somewhat
easier, though certainly not assured, a
solution of today's vast problems in
which you will soon, willy-nilly, be cast
in the role of leaders. To prove worthy
of such a challenge is the best parting
wish a faculty can give you
"To you I recommend this prayer: 'God
give me serenity to accept things I cannot change, courage to change things I
can, wisdom to know the difference'
"With the thanks of the faculty for
your loyalty to all that this great University stands for."

more than 4,000 undergraduate stuon campus, the cry is still "Meet

Norton!"
Norton Hall, the student union building, has just completed its 16th year of
operation in which it broke all records
in the number of clubs functioning and
in the use of its buildings and facilities
by its membership.

he Union stands
the University's
Dgnition of the
educational importance of profitable
leisure time activities. In keeping
with this recognition, the Program
Committee, consistHaas, '32
ing of some six
sub-committees under the direction of
Program Coordinator Elizabeth Bohlen
Foels, BA '49, planned and executed
more than one hundred free events in
which 23,000 students participated.
Among these events were: dude dance,
spinster spree, coffee hours, stunt nights,
open houses, community sings, splash
parties, chess—table tennis—bridge—billiard and tiddleywink tournaments, art
and photo exhibits, and special musical
events run by the Music Committee using
Norton's wide collection of classical,
semi-classical, and jazz records.
Our "empty-stomach" department finds
food service maintained throughout the
year in the main dining room, and in the
snack bar, with special luncheons in the
private dining rooms. Over 2,000 meals
are served daily in this department.
Increased activities have necessitated
increasing our permanent staff to include,
in addition to the Director, four full-time
staff members and six maintenance men.
However, the majority of the jobs here at
the Union are still filled by students. Last
year, we were able to employ 67 student
part-time employees who earned more
than $7,000 in the various departments
operated under the Union management.
Traditions such as the Blue Masquers'
play in December, the annual Norton
Union Christmas Dance, and a new tradition of the combined Glee Club and Orchestra Christmas program are events
students always look forward to.
We do not always look only to our own
interests. We are now very much interested in community charities and, through
the Campus Barrel, attempt to support as
many national and international service
organizations as possible.
The stairway in Norton's main lobby
is still the most popular gathering spot.
The young co-eds are just as attractive as
ever and help to ease the tension and
anxiety of the men students as they worry
over world news and wait for their draft
cards.
Alumni returning to campus are always
extended a hearty welcome and we urge
them to visit and enjoy Norton's facilities.

It's cold outside! That's what Dr.
Conrad H. Wettlaufer used to hope. He
was founder of the University's first
hockey team back in '96.
That was the year that Dr. Wettlaufer,
a teacher in the University's Dental
School, organized the University's first ice
hockey team. Artificial ice wasn't a gleam
in anybody's eye in those days. Ice depended on the winter blasts.
Apparently the weather and the team
improved after one season of play because

TAXES ON

YOUR MIND?

Of course. Taxes are on everyone's
mind these critical days.
And yet, the government has made it
possible for individuals and corporations
to support educational and non-profit institutions by providing certain deductions
in the tax returns. However, recent gift
figures noted in income and profits tax
returns make one wonder if the public-atlarge are aware of the opportunities they
have to support these educational institutions.
Here are the facts:
1) Individuals are allowed 15% deductions for gifts to non-profit institutions. Last year, the average person took
advantage of only 4% of that provision.
2) Corporations were allowed 5%
but gave just 7/loooths of 1%.

—

the '97 and '98 teams (pictured above)
took on several teams and finished their
seasons without a loss. Yessir, the University of Toronto, believe it or not,
headed the list of '98 Buffalo's victims.
Where did they play? Well, Dr. Wettlaufer and Coach Irving Johnson arranged for the freezing of the pond on
the Rumsey estate at Delaware and Summer Streets.
Wha hoppen to all that fine, cold
weather?

Dr. Capen Gets Chancellor's Medal
As University Graduates 393
degrees

A total of 393
and certificates
were conferred by Chancellor T. Raymond McConnell at the University's 51st
annual Midyear Commencement on University Day, February 22nd, in Kleinhans
Music Hall.
Highlight of the exercises was the
awarding of the Chancellor's Medal to
Chancellor Emeritus Samuel Paul Capen.
The occasion marked the 24th time that
the University has presented the medal
to an outstanding BufFalonian.
In making the presentation, Dr. McConnell stated: "The Council of the University, in making its selection this year,
might have met publicly, for its choice
is so obvious that nearly all of you will
have guessed it in advance".
Dr. Capen, garbed in his familiar
scarlet academic robe, received a standing ovation from the 2500 spectators as
Chancellor McConnell described him as
"master builder of a university, great
teacher, inheritor and creator of inspiring
traditions, apostle of good purposes, devoted to your place and dignifier of your
time."
Dr. Theodore C. Blegen, dean of the
Graduate School at the University of
Minnesota, was the commencement
speaker and urged increased effort by
scholars to put their knowledge in a
language the public can understand and
thus enrich and strengthen the faith and
confidence our people need.
Dean Blegen added: "If scholars will
not cross the bridges to public understanding, purveyors of misinformation

The program committee of the School
of Medicine Alumni Association has
planned a diversified scientific program
for the 14th Annual Spring Clinic Day
to be sponsored by the association on
Saturday, April 10th, in Hotel Statler.
Program Chairman George M. Masotti,
MD '33, and his committee have arranged
for six speakers, all outstanding practitioners in their respective fields, to present papers at the morning and afternoon
sessions.
Joseph D. Godfrey, MD '31, association president, has announced that Chancellor T. Raymond McConnell will be the
annual luncheon speaker.
The morning session, beginning at 10
A.M. in the Statler's ballroom, will be in
charge of Secretary-Treasurer Grosvenor
W. Bissell, MD '39, who will present
these speakers: Dr. Harry L. Bodkus of
Philadelphia on cardio-vascular relationship to gastro intestinal disease; Dr.
Frederick T. Stare of Boston on nutrition; and Dr. Berwyn Mattison, Erie
County health commissioner, on medicine
and the national emergency.
The afternoon session, beginning at
2:15 P.M., will be chairmaned by vicepresident Frederick G. Stoesser, MD '29,
who will introduce these speakers: Dr.
HowardRusk of New York on rehabiltation; Dr. George Eaton of Baltimore on
common fractures; and Dr. Thomas
Frawley of Boston on cortissone and
ACTH.
The annual luncheon will be held in
the Statler's Niagara Room at 12:30 P.M.,
and the business meeting and election of
officers will take place at 2 P.M. in the
ballroom.
Another highlight of this year's Clinic
Day will be the extensive scientific exhibits arranged by Kenneth Goldstein,
MD '39, and his committee. These exhibits will be set up in the foyer adjacent
to the ballroom.

and servants of propaganda and falsehood are always ready to do so. They are
on the job now, twisting history and science, religion and the humanities, and
theories of man and society to fit their
dogmas of self-interest".
Addressing the graduates directly, the
speaker pointed out that the American university faces critical days ahead but it
"will survive ... if you, its graduates,
band yourselves about it, understand, defend it ... if you, the friends of freedom
and enlightenment, do not just take it
for granted but back it up and join hands
with its officers and faculty".

Some time this month, the U. S. Air
Force will announce its selection of colleges and universities to be given ROTC
units and it appears quite possible that
the University will be one of those
chosen.
To that end, administrative officers
have been working on probable arrangements with the Air Force and, further,
have complied with the Air Force's request that an expression of faculty and
student sentiment be secured. In February, student and faculty members of the
campus divisions of the University voted
by substantial majorities for establishment of compulsory ROTC training for
freshmen and sophomores and for voluntary training for juniors and seniors.

Club's meeting in February was probably
one of the most unusual in the history
of any alumni club. Horace O. Lanza,
LLB '01, was host to the members at a
delicious barbecue dinner. Club Secretary
Dorothy Snyder Grayson, Edß '43, de-

scribed it best in her letter to the Alumni
Office:
"It was really a wonderful, peppy party.
About 40 turned out, including the wives
and husbands of alumni. The barbecue
house is a glass-enclosed place situated
in the garden of the Lanza home. It has
a stainless-steel kitchen and a barbecue
pit and tables with red-checked tablecloths. We were all given big redcheckered bibs. Then came barbecued
beef in huge pieces, tossed salad, garlic
bread, and sparkling Burgundy. In the
center of the main table was a big birthday cake {see cut} in blue and white with
one candle to celebrate the first anniversary of our club. It had 'University of
Buffalo' in blue icing on top.
"After the feast (and I do mean feast),
Dr. Horace LoGrasso, MD '04, president,
started the meeting. Each one introduced
himself and told how he happened to
come to the West Coast—some gay stories
here!—and then we elected these officers
for the next year: Ralph T. Behling, PhG

again; and Horace O. Lanza, LLB '01,

College wrestling matches differ so
much from professional wrestling exhibitions that former college grapplers are
currently lobbying for legislation to prohibit use of the word "wrestling" to describe professional meets.
Wrestling as an intercollegiate sport at
the University has taken on added emphasis and popularity since the war,
especially since the appointment of Warren Gregory, former Midwestern and Indiana college champion, as wrestling

coach. For the past three years, Coach
Gregory has been building the schedule
and the team members to meet major
competition from all parts of the country.
The results have been more boys out for
the squad and a new and enthusiastic
following which includes anyone from 6
to 60, from grammar school youngsters to
college deans.
College wrestling encompasses all
weights, with the criteria for victory being brawn, technique, and quick-thinking.
Weight classes start with 123 lbs. and
progress through 137, 147, 157, 167, 177,
to the heavyweight or unlimited division.
In '48 and '49, his first two years of
coaching, Gregory's teams recorded 16
wins and 2 ties in 25 matches. This
year bids fair to be his best with 8 wins
in 10 outings thus far.
Veteran stars like heavyweight Don
Beitleman, who is undefeated this year
and has lost but once in 22 college
matches: Al "Fritz" Zwolinski, 9—l;
and Don Bero, B—2, are expected to
represent the University in the District
and Invitational tourneys in Buffalo and
at Case

Institute this month.

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

ALUMNI BULLETIN
University Plans Expansion of
Four-Year Basic-Nursing Program
class, Dean Anne W. Sengbusch, BS(Nrs)
'35, EdM'39, announced this month. Applications are being accepted now from
men and women.
The four-year basic program is a new
departure in nursing education and is
conducted in cooperation with hospitals
and community health agencies. The student attends the University for her first
year, spends the second and third years
in the study of clinical nursing in the
cooperating hospitals and agencies and
returns to the University for the fourth
year.
For the cooperating hospitals, this is
also an innovation. Previously, the hospitals have not taken students from the
University. The ordinary practice has
been for the nurses to train in hospital
nursing schools and then enter the University for degree work and advanced
courses.

Pictured here are 3 "pioneers" in the
University's new four-year bask nursing
program. In the predinical chemistry
laboratory are,

left to right: Carolyn J.
Brenner, Rita M. G'tmbrone, and Harold
M. Updike.

The University's four-year program in
basic nursing, inaugurated this year with
11 students, will be expanded next fall
to include 30 students in each entering

The four-year program leads to the
degree of bachelor of science in nursing
and admission to the licensing examination for the practice of professional nursing in NewYork State.
Cooperating are Millard Fillmore,
Buffalo General, Meyer Memorial, and
Children's Hospitals; Roswell Park Memorial Institute, Buffalo Visiting Nursing
Association, and the Erie County Health

Department.

UNIVERSITY NEWS AND CAMPUS BRIEFS
Retailers to N. V,
Pictured on this page are retailing students, seniors in the School of Business
Administration, who made a field trip to
the New York City retail markets this
month to study buying procedure and
general market operation. The students,
under the leadership of Miss Jennie Graham, chairman of the retailing department, had part of their expenses paid by
Homer P. Selman, president of Buffalo's
J. N. Adam &amp; Co.

Faculty Cut Planned
An anticipated drop in enrollment, due
the calling of young men into military
service, has forced the University to plan
a 15% to 20% reduction in its faculty as
of July Ist. A number of staff members
who hold only one-year appointments and
have no "tenure" were notified on or before March 15 that, as of then, they
could not be reappointed for the year beginning July Ist. Said Dean of Administration Claude E. Puffer: "We hope it
will be possible to reappoint many of
these staff members. It depends upon
the deferment policy yet to be determined by Selective Service and also upon
whether we get an ROTC unit on the
to

campus."

CapenAppointed
Chancellor Emeritus Samuel P. Capen
is the lone Republican member appointed
by Governor Thomas E. Dewey to new
State Crime Commission set up to probe
any links between the underworld and
any unit of government anywhere in New
York State.

Round Table Cites Wtb
The University of Buffalo Round
Table, now simultaneously broadcast on
WBEN—AM, FM, and TV, this month

than 1,000 leaders from all areas of human endeavor have taken part in the
program which, unrehearsed and completely extemporaneous, has covered problems of local, national, and international
importance. Arthur I. Goldberg, BA'3l,
chief re-write man for the Buffalo Evening News and acting director of public
relations for the University, is the producer of the series.

Study on the Spot
Two Medical School faculty members
this month traveled to the Far East to
study medical conditions "on the spot".
Dr. John H. Talbott, professor of medicine, went to Japan and Korea as a member of a special commission to study
frostbite and trench foot among military
personnel and to recommend measures to
prevent serious after-effects and institute
treatment procedures.
Dr. John D.
Stewart, professor of surgery, traveled to
Japan, Okinawa, and Korea as a civilian
surgical consultant on a teaching and inspection tour of Army and Air Force
hospitals.

Retailing students of the University's School of Business Administration get some
promotional pointers during their visit to Neu? York retail spots.

Seiniger Replaces Ertell, '38
William B. Seiniger, lecturer in business organization and finance, has been
named acting assistant dean of the School
of Business Administration for the year
beginning July Ist. He will replace Merton W. Ertell, BS(Bus)'3B, MBA'4% who

YES, UNIVERSITY'S PERSONNELOFFICE
STILL KEEPS YOUR RECORD!
by Eduard S. Jones
Dean oj Students

The University's
Personnel Office,
initiated by Chancellor Capen in
1925, started on
a small scale under
Dr. Edward S.
Jones, then recently appointed Professor of Psychology, with the main
aim to deal with
each individual as
a unique person
Dean Jones
and to include a
consideration of
his all round preparation for life work. Various services
help the
nave since been inaugurated to
student adjust himself before, during, and
after college attendance. To correct a
common misapprehension, it should be
stated that the main effort of a personnel
advisor is not to direct nor tell people
what they should be, in regard to a future course or a job; rather it is to inform the student about certain requirements and to help him consider various
alternatives, one or more of which he
himself chooses.
As the scope of personnel work
throughout the country has grown, the

University has developed new or enlarged
services. An extensive testing program
for nearly all students is provided, including tests of general college aptitude,
vocabulary, ability in English and in
problem solving for all entering students.
For certain groups, interest-testing and
measures of neurotic instability are used;
for others, pre-medical, pre-law, pre-dental tests and Graduate Record tests designed to appraise those wishing graduate training. These test ratings are kept
confidential but are available to students

who

use them to

detect weak spots which

they may strengthen, and areas of ability
to develop as specializations in the future.
At present there are four full time
advisors, not counting two men who put
nearly all of their time on placement and
contacts with business and industry. Five
others advise occasionally on routine matters. Much attention is given to records
since these often turn out to be very
important ten or fifteen years after one
has graduated from college.
The University has given special emphasis to interviews on anticipatory exams
and freshman interviews, and has attained
considerable national recognition because
of them. Several hundred students have

been given examinations based on college
level attainments before coming to college. In the great majority of cases, only
very able students have been allowed to
take these examinations, and more than
70 per cent have been given good passing
grades—C or better. Many able students
have been stimulated not only to shorten
their college course work to some extent, but to advance into graduate level
work because of their early independent
work under the stimulus of high school
teachers and the syllabi handed out by
the Personnel Office from various departments.

The freshmen orientation interview is
extremely time-consuming and might be
classed in many colleges as a non-essential. Actually, we believe it furnishes a
valuable introduction to the life and the
problems of the university. Various items
on a personnel blank are rapidly surveyed
by the interviewer, including hobbies,
school interests, indications of anxiety,
difficulties in concentration and in selfconfidence, and the student is asked about
the time and place of a usual study day.
Health and financial problems may be
discussed, and particularly factors which
involve tensions in family relations, or
distractions from studying. Finally faculty advisors are appointed.
We believe that, in general, students
feel free to return and discuss a great
variety of problems. They should feel
there is one "warm spot" in which a return for suggestions, or an opportunity
to just talk over a problem, is an easy
process. Ninety five per cent of entering
students take advantage of the invitations
sent out to attend these conferences, although the interviews are actually voluntary and not required.

TWO U. B. MERMAN CANDIDATES
FOR ALL-AMERICAN HONORS
Even a 5 and 4 season record did not
stop Coach Bill Sandford's swimmers
from setting 9 individual pool records or
placing two candidates on the list for
All-American honors. Larry Zangerle and
Norm Schueckler, who represented the
University in the Inter-collegiate Championships at Harvard, were named as outstanding in the 100 yard free style and
the 440 and 1500 meter events.

GROUND BROKEN FOR
NEW MED DENT CENTER

George D. Crofts; Dr. Stockton Kimball; Dr. ]. Frederick Vainton;
Dr. William J. Orr; Dr. Leon ]. Oaucbat.

A Dream Becomes
A Reality

A new era of service in medical and
dental care was promised by Chancellor
T. Raymond McConnell, at the groundbreaking ceremonies for the University's
new Medical-Dental Building, April 6th.
Two silver plated shovels were employed in the ceremony on the campus
site of the $4,500,000 building. The first,
a gift of the contractor, was used by Dr.
McConnell to turn the first piece of sod,
and will be placed in a trophy case in the
five-story reinforced concrete structure.
The second shovel, employed by E. Maxwell James, architect, was the historic
one used in the ground breaking for
Foster Hall in 1933.
Among the more than 150 on-lookers
was Dr. Samuel P. Capen, Chancellor
emeritus, whom Dr. McConnellsaluted as
having "repeatedly stressed the need for
this building." Tribute was also paid to
the faculties and alumni of the Schools of
Medicine and Dentistry and to the other
divisions of the University, for their consistent urging for a new medical-dental
building on the ground that what strenghens any part of the institution strengthens
all the others too.
While the ceremonies were taking place
in the sun brightened plank quadrangle,
less than 100 yards away, bulldozers were
already at work clearing ground for a
driveway to the building. Excavation
began less than a week afterward on the
building, which is expected to be completed in 1953.

University to Get
USAF ROTC July 1
An Air Force Reserve Officers Training
Corps unit will be activated July Ist at
the University of Buffalo, Representative
Edmund P. Radwan, LLB '34, disclosed
early this month.
In his announcement Mr. Radwan said
that U. B. is one of 62 "very excellent"
colleges or universities at which R.O.T.C.
will be established. The 62 institutions
were selected from 450 applications received by the Air Force.

Bulk of Staff Retained
Despite Deficit
Chancellor McConnell announced April
4th, at the annual student-faculty banquet
of the University's School of Business
Administration that the University will
deliberately incur a substantial deficit
next year in order to hold the major portion of the staff and faculty intact.
Despite the threat of decreased enrollment, Dr. McConnell, the principal
speaker of the evening, refuted earlier
predictions of a possible 40% faculty cut,
and stated that such a reduction would
probably be between 15% and 20%.
Discussing the government's policy of
deferring top students, Dr. McConnell
pointed out that the expected drops in
enrollment at U. B. should be much less
than expected.

ANDERSON NAMED DEAN
OF ADMINISTRATION
A new Dean of Administration for the
University was appointed by Dr. McConnell, to succeed Dean Claude E. Puffer,
who will become the University's Comptroller on July Ist.
He is Dr. G.

State Teachers College in 1932, his
Dr. Anderson
masters from Colorado State College of Education in 1937
and his PhD. from the University of Minnesota in 1941.
He has a wide reputation in the field
of education and education administration
in both the high school and college level,
and prior to his present post, spent eleven
years as assistant professor of education,
director of student teaching and director
of the University High School and professor of education at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Anderson, also served in
Germany in 1947, as consultant in teacher
education with the Office of Military
Government.
The author of many articles in educational Journals and two yearbooks in the
field of education, Dr. Anderson will assume his post here on August 1.

Mrs. Capen, Wife of

Chancellor Emeritus,

U. B. Dean Predicts

End of Depressions

In a new book, "Growth of the American Economy", of which he is the coauthor, Harold M. Somers, Dean of the
University's School of Business Adminis-,:
tration, credits the
"progressive improvements" in our
banking and monetary structure with
diminishing the
possibility of
further severe depressions such as
were experienced
in the 1930'5.
Dean Somers, who
contributed four
of the 48 chapters
in the book and
Dr. H. Somers
collaborated with
26 other authors
of the publication, forsees a bright outlook for the American economy if monetary and banking facilities can remain
stable and providing that no other foreign
influence, such as atomic energy actively
affects the cyclical pattern.

VARSITY ATHLETES
HONORED AT BANQUET
At the annual athletic banquet held at
the Park Lane on May 3rd, Chancellor
McConnell praised the University's athletic program for being conducted on such
a high plane and was especially impressed
with the wide variety of sports carried on
and the fine over-all record compiled.
The University's teams, with about 20
contests still to be played, have won 79
of 114 matches or games against 34 defeats and 1 tie.
At the banquet, attended by over 200
athletes and guests, Jack Chalmers, U. B.'s
record basketball scorer, received the
Dominic Gross! Award for the second
consecutive year. The trophy, presented
by Phi Kappa Psi fraternity in memory

In endeavoring to present a diversified
the sport enthusiasts of the
University, the Athletic Department has
announced that four teams will represent
the school in intercollegiate sports competition this spring.
Although spring football and basketball
practice is underway, these two major
sports have had to give way to regularly

baseball and golf teams in the better
than 30 intercollegiate matches crowded
program to

into a six-week schedule.
Already Coach Bill Sanford's tennis
team have extended their victory string

Sheraton Hotel on June l4th with 29
members and guests attending.
Introduced by President J. Frederick
Painton, MD'27, BS(Med)'27 were President of the Council Seymour H. Knox,
who commented on the future growth
and development of the University; Dr.
T. Raymond McConnell, who explained
the reasons leading up to the necessity
for operating at a deficit for the next few
years; and Dean Claude E. Puffer, who
gave a report on the R.O.T.C. unit to appear on the campus in July.
Comptroller George D. Crofts, on completion of his annual treasurer's report,
in which he congratulated the alumni for
their excellent showing in the annual
Alumni Loyalty Fund gifts, was cited by
G. Thomas Ganim, BS'24, LLB'27, pastpresident to the Board, for his thirty years
of unswerving loyalty to the University
of Buffalo.
In his citation, Mr. Ganim stated that
through his sagacity in the realm of finance, Mr. Crofts, has safely carried the
University through a major depression
and a world war. He has helped mold
this institution into a great urban University and the results which were achieved
have been exceptionally noteworthy because of the limited resources which were

of Buffalo owes a debt of immeasurable
gratitude for a job well done."
As in the past few meetings, the vicepresidents reports were presented in
booklet form. Director of Alumni Relations, Talman W. Van Arsdale, Jr., BA'3B,
MA'4O, home on leave from his Navy
duties, reported on the activities of the
Alumni Office and commented on the activities of alumni generally during the
year. He emphasized the constant aim of
the officers of the Board must be the enlistment and encouragement of the interest,
understanding, participation, and loyalty
of the individual alumnus, especially in
the next few years, when the University
is experiencing a serious transition period.
A single ballot was cast for the slate

New Course In Engineering

Being Offered

In accordance with its policy of making a broad range of services available to
Western New York industries, branches
of the Armed Forces and the government
for programs which are of value to the
defense effort, the University, at the Bell
Aircraft Corporation, has inaugurated a
course in Servomechanism Fundamentals
at the Niagara Falls plant.
Servomechanisms are devices used in
aneomatic flights, in controlling guided
missiles and pilotless aircraft, and because
the science is new and there is an acute
shortage of engineers in the field, Bell
requested the university to make training
available at the plant.
The course is offered at the graduate
level with full academic credit and is conductd by Harold L. Newman, assistant
professor of electrical engineering.

To the theme "Say It With Music",
more than thirty floats of various sororities, fraternities, clubs and schools of the
University paraded up Main Street in the
annual Moving Up Day ceremonies.
Queen of the festivities was Joy Vann,
a freshman in the Arts and Sciences
School, who viewed floats ranging from
the School of Engineering's "Dry Bones"
which featured a top-hatted, cigar-smoking skeleton, accompanying several large
robots on a pink piano, to Phi Kappa
Psi's "Shiek of Araby" whose harem was
guarded by six mounted arabs.
The Pre-ceremonial queen campaigns
were the likes of which the North Main
Campus has never seen before. For a
full month the campus was populated by
railroad engineers, arabs, kilties walking
plaid coated scotties and gingham gowned
damsels.
To all who viewed the campus spectacle
and the parade that followed, it was
evident that the spirit and enthusiasm of
the present day student is just as avid as
in our undergraduate days.

UNIVERSITY GRADUATES
1,075
The second largest class in the 105
year history of the University of Buffalo
received degrees and certificates at the
commencement exercises held Wednesday,
May 13th at Kleinhans Music Hall.
Chancellor T. Raymond McConnell, in
his first commencement address at the
University, asserted that the public mind
in general "is badly undernourished"
with regard to public affairs.
"The consequences of this lack of
knowlege and understanding were serious
enough in the past; they are likely to be
disastrous in the infinitely complicated
and dangerous world in which we live

today."

"As a people, we are too often ignorant, not only of the basic facts, but particularly of the meaning of our own history. We are even more poorly informed
concerning the history and culture of
other peoples. We are unaware of the
profound changes that are occuring in
the backward countries of the world as
their people strain against the bonds of
imperialism and strive for independence
and freedom."

Because their education in international affairs has been so inadequate,
the people of this country have yet to
realize that the spread of communism or
the emergence of some other form of
totalitarianism can be prevented only by
positive measures."
"Communism wins most of its converts
among the underprivileged. It thrives on
hunger, poverty, hopelessness and injustice. It can be counteracted only by the
advance of justice and freedom, and the
attainment of a higher standard of living
for underpriveleged peoples."
To the graduates he said: "You have
the obligation to keep yourselves thoroughly informed on public questions, to
reflect in your own lives the humane
spirit of your university."
This is not the time for complacency,
for self centeredness, for uninformed
opinion, or for failure to participate in
decision making in community life, in national affairs and in international policy."
It is the responsibility of the students
of today to attempt through education,
and educational freedom, to overcome the
threat to freedom loving people throughout the world.

New Meds Display Loyalty
As a parting gesture of their loyalty
to the school which gave them their
education, this year's graduates of the
Medical School, under the direction of
class president, Robert E. Ploss, MD'5l,
and chairman, Leonard S.. Danzig, MD'5l
have subscribed the sum of $440 toward
the building fund of the new campus
Medical-Dental Building.

Council Approves
Tuition Increase
The Council of the University late this

month approved an increase in tuition
rates for most divisions and at the same
time had to approve a deficit budget for
the forthcoming fiscal year.
Effective in September the tuition in
the College of Arts and Sciences and
Schools of Engineering, Education, Business Administration, Pharmacy, Law, Social Work, The Graduate School of Arts
and Sciences and the Division of General
and Technical Studies will be raised from
5450 to $500 a year, effective in September.
The tuition in the School of Medicine,
SBOO, and in the School of Dentistry,
5650, were raised earlier this year and
will remain at that level.
ChancellorMcConnell explained the increase was due to the greater expenditure
necessary for equipment, supplies and services, and stated that actually it is a very
modest increase. The cost of living index has gone up S4y2 percent since 1939.
If tuition rates were raised to conform
with this, the charge would be S6Bl per
year instead of $500.
Still, the University's new rates will be
substantially lower than the fees charged
by a great many institutions of comparable character.
In his statement to the council the
Chancellor explained, "The University of
Buffalo depends on student fees for more
than 93 percent of its income, and next
year, like all other colleges and universities, we anticipate a drop in enrollment.
This, despite the tuition increase, has
made it necessary to adapt a budget with
an estimated deficit of S 135,000 for the
coming year."

Will Your Name Appear??
More than 18,000 alumni, in each
of the 48 states and 23 foreign
countries, will very soon receive
their copy of the Alumni Loyalty
Fund's Honor Roll.
No doubt the first thing to be
checked will be the total number
of givers. Undoubtedly class lists
will be checked and the names of
classmates who have given will be
noted.
The amount, as in years past,
is not listed because, while the
amount of the gift is important,
the more important fact is that
every alumnus should give and
share in the pride of continued interest and investment in their Alma
Mater.

Kickoff is slated for 8:15 P.M. in
Buffalo's Civic Stadium. Since the game
has also received the enthusiastic support
of the Courier-Express' Goodfellows organization, it is expected that the stadium's 40,000 seats will be sold out early.
Chairman Johnson and Assistant Director of Alumni Relations Edward G.
Andrews, Jr., BS(Bus)'49, have made arrangements for alumni to purchase reserved seat tickets at the Alumni Office,
Crosby Hall, Buffalo 14, New York. Several thousand have been allotted to the
Office and will be sold on a first-come,

Don Holland, one of the eastern college leaders in the pass completion de-

and Russ Gugino at tackle, Don Duquette
and Pete D'Arrigo at guard, and newcomers Tony Cappola and Ronnie La

center spot.

At the ends, Ed Gicewicz and Carl

PHARMACY CONVENTION
In some ways, it looked like a reunion
of the University's Pharmacy School
alumni when the nation's pharmacists
convened in Buffalo last month.
At any rate, the fact that the American
Pharmaceutical Association's 98th annual
meeting was a decided success must
be credited to an
aggressive arrangements committee

serving on his committee were: Francis

Chimera, '28; Catherine Gallagher Redden, '18; and Gretta Moore Lemon, '19.
Among the important stands taken by
the convention were a firm disapproval
of the inroads of the federal government
into the practice of medicine and pharmacy, and a resolution urging that state
fair trade laws be restored to their former
effectiveness. The convention also scored
the establishment of prescription departments in super-markets and other establishments whose principal business is the
sale of merchandise not primarily related
to the matters of health.
At the conclusion of their session, Mr.
Pritchard was appointed vice-chairman of
the House of Delegates, the Association's

NIGHT ARRANGED
Enthusiasm and support for the 1951
Bulls are assured if the example of the
Business Ad alumni is followed.
Officers of the association, at this date,
have received an unexpectedly large number of reservations for the Pre-Season
Sports Night at the 40 &amp; 8 Club on Delaware Avenue, Wednesday evening, September 19, at 8 P. M.
Following a buffet dinner, alumni will
have a chance to meet and talk with
Coaches Jim Wilson, Mai Eiken, Bill
Sanford, and Athletic Director James E.
Peelle. Movies of last season's football
games also will be shown.
According to Association President
Douglas H. Fay, '40, the evening affair
"will be a get-together much like a good
old-fashioned football rally, with songs,
cheers, and all the hullabaloo connected
with it".
Assisting President Fay are these committee members: Charles Percival, '47;
Philip A. Becker, '37; Dora L. Bertoglio,
'50; J. William Everett, '50; and Wilbur
R. Bradigan, '50.

Nursing Alumnae

Have Homecoming

As the academic year came to a close,
the Nursing Alumnae Association had its
first annual Homecoming Day and heard
Chancellor T. Raymond McConnell state
that some time in the future the School
of Nursing would be moved to the
campus as part of what could be "the
best center related to human health in
the world".
Dr. McConnell spoke at the dinner
which climaxed a day devoted to professional sessions held in Norton Hall on
campus. The Chancellor stated he could
not name the day when the School would
be located on campus but said the time
would come when it would be located in
conjunction with the new Medical-Dental
building soon to be completed. He added
that the building was planned so that
extra floors and additional wings would
be added.
Principal speaker at the dinner was Dr.
John T. Horton, BA'26, head of University's department of history, who stressed
the importance of our ties with the
European continent. A testimonial plaque
was presented to Dean Anne W. Sengbusch, BS(Nrs)'3s, EdM'39, in behalf of
the alumnae by Ruth £. Schlagenhauf,
BS(Nrs)'34, first student to receive the
bachelor of science degree from the
School. Presiding at the dinner was Hazel
H. Harvey, BS(Nrs)'3s.

FIVE YOUNGSTERS

NO BAR TO LL.B.

Ever meet those people who say, "Well,
1 might have gone to college and graduated, but I got married and my responsibilities mounted and I just couldn't find
the time?"
Then, meet Mrs. Edward B. (Dorothy
McClarin)Murphy,

mother of five
strapping youngsters and wife of a

practicing attorney
(U. 8., IXB '27),

who can write
"LLB '51" after
her name now.

Dorothy Murphy,
36, was the only
woman member of
last June's law
class of 76 graduates. She's 5 feet,
2 inches tall, and
Murphy. '51
a "powerhouse" of
energy. Shemarried
Edward while both were singing in the
choir of AH Saints Church in Buffalo and
they were married in 1935.
As she tells it, she sat fascinated as her
husband told of his law cases and legal
controversies and resolved to study law
herself. Just after her fifth youngster
was born, Mrs. Murphy completed her
high-school education at Hutchinson Evening High School and then attended evening classes at University's Millard Fillmore College to complete her pre-law
studies. In the fall of 1948, she was admitted to the University's Law School.
By this time, one might well ask, "How
did she do it?"
First, it took determination. And, Dorothy Murphy had plenty of that, too. She
organized her family into a "team," each
having his specific duties and each checking on the other to make sure that tasks
were done. Believe it or not, the only
extra help she had during those years of
study was that of a high school youngster
who came in two evenings a week to
give Mrs. Murphy time for extra study.
Dorothy McClarin Murphy, LLB'SI
as she is listed in Alumni Office records
—exhibits no false modesty. She admits
it took "some doing."
However, she hasn't had time yet to
acquiesce to the statement of one of her
instructors who commented, "Where else
but in the United States would one find
this happening —an individual woman
having the courage and the vision and
the initiative to organize her life so that
she might avail herself of further education to the improvement of her own lot,
that of her family, and ultimately that
of her community?"

Dr. Sy heard several speakers praise
his years of remarkably effective teaching, cite the many friendships he has
made, and warmly laud the inspiration
he has been to so many of his students.
Dr. Puffer also noted the sincere interest
he has had in the University itself.
The beloved teacher told the diners
that he "never had been speechless before, but I don't know what to say tonight."

"I certainly am surprised and certainly
have had the finest time of my life tonight," he added. "I didn't suspect that
anyone could make in 79 years as many
friends as are here tonight."
He smiled as Dr. Puffer read from
some old University records that he was
paid $500 a year when he was hired in
1895.
"I was very proud of that salary," Dr.
Sy recalled. "And I got two weeks' vacation—without pay!"
All schools of the University were represented at the dinner. Assisting Mrs.
Barry in the arrangements were Charles
M. Dake, PhG'24, MD'3O; and William
F. Jacobs, MD'OB.

Born in Altamont, 111., on August 7,
1872, Dr. Sy received his bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois in
1894. He won his master's degree from
the same school in 1898, and in 1908 became the first person ever to be awarded
the doctor of philosophy degree by the
University of Buffalo.
A noted research worker and author of
numerous works on chemistry, he was
chairman of the department of chemistry
for 23 years. He also has been a member
of the University Council for more than
25 years.
Normally, the University requires its
professors to retire at the age of 72.
However, in recognition of his long and
devoted service, Dr. Sy has been allowed
to continue teaching as long as he feels
able.

The new admissions counselor has

ex-

pressed a special interest in the alumni
relations aspect of his position and announced, "I hope that alumni will feel
free to consult with me when their sons
and daughters or their friends express interest in attending the undergraduate
schools of the University. I shall be glad
to have them write me or call on me at
my office in Hayes Hall at their convenience."

Pediatric Nursing
Program Arranged

SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
ADOPTS NEW PROGRAM

An advanced program in "Pediatric
Nursing" has been established by University's School of Nursing and Buffalo
Children's Hospital.
The new program, evolved through the
long-standing cooperative relationship between the University and the hospital, is
designed for the graduate nurse who
wishes special practice and instruction in
pediatric nursing. The first class begins

The University is among 17 eastern
universities whose graduate schools of
education have adopted a new program
to improve the preparation of superintendents, principals, and other school administrators.
Established last August on a nationwide basis by the Kellogg Foundation
and the American Association of School
Administrators, the regional program has
as its aims the modernization and improvement of the preparation of school
administrators. Now in a developmental
stage, the program will afford graduate
students the most modern type of instruction and extensive opportunities for field
work and for consultation with local,
state, and national school administrators.
Dr. Burvil H. Glenn, associate professor of education, recently attended the
conference of educators at Teachers College, Columbia University, the regional
center from which announcement of the
new plan was made.

this month.
Covering one academic year of fulltime study, the curriculum combines University courses and clinical study with
field experience in the hospital. The program may also be applied to constitute
the clinical unit of the curriculum which
leads to the degree of bachelor of science
or master of science in nursing.

DR. MacNEILL NAMED
LABORATORIES' CHIEF
The University last month announced
the appointment of Dr. Arthur E. MacNeill as chief of laboratories in the
Chronic Disease Research Institute.
Dr. MacNeill, 39, former flight surgeon
in the U. S. Air Force and medical research consultant to the U. S. State Department, will have administrative supervision of all laboratories in the Institute.
The new chief expects to devote the
major portion of his time to experimental
research in the use of mechanical devices
as aids in medical treatment, many of
them designed to save labor for the nurse
at the bedside of patients.
A native of Waltham, Mass., Dr. MacNeill received his bachelor's and doctor
of medicine degree from Harvard. In addition to his Air Force and State Department positions, he has served on the
faculties of the Dartmouth Medical School
and the University of Florida.

UNIVERSITY TO STAGE IMPORTANT CONVOCATION
DEC. 7th &amp; Bth
National and world leaders will gather in Buffalo on Friday and Saturday,
December 7th and Bth, for an important convocation under the direction of the

in
has been designated the Niagara Frontier Convocation Committee and

will have a thousand members.
The program is presently in the tentative stage, but more detailed information will be announced when invitations are mailed next month. Within the next
six weeks, area attendance and invitation committees are expected to be set up
to inform alumni of the plans and to aid in assuring a large attendance of alumni
from all parts of the country.
This bids fair to be one of the most significant events ever sponsored by the
University and alumni are advised to note the date and make plans to attend.

CAMPUS NOTES

Contruction Staffs On New Medical-Dental Building

106th Year Begins
The University opened its 106th year
on Monday, September 17th, with an inaugural convocation for more than 1200
entering freshmen in Clark Memorial
Gymnasium. Chancellor T. Raymond McConnell addressed the new students and
there followed three full days of "orientation" activities for the newcomers. Admissions Counselor Jack M. Deeringer,
EdM'4B, was in charge of the program.

Engineers' New Course

*

Presented in accordance with Univer-

sity's policy of making a broad range of

services available to Western N. Y. industries, branches of the Armed Forces,
and government, is a new course in
Servomechanism Fundamentals at the Niagara Falls plant of the Bell Aircraft
Corp. Servomechanisms are devices used
in automatic flights and in controlling
guided missiles. Since the science of these
new mechanisms is fairly new, Bell asked
the University to make the training available at the plant. College credit is given
for the course which is offered on the
graduate level.

ROTC Unit Starts
University's newly-established ROTC
unit of the Air Force began operations
with the opening of the fall semester,
September 17th. All entering freshmen
are eligible for the program while certain
sophomores and juniors with previous
military experience also will be eligible.

Mr. Crofts Honored
George E. Crofts, University treasurer
and comptroller who retired June 30th
after thirty years of service, was honored
that month when he was initiated into
Beta Gamma Sigma, national honorary
business administration fraternity.

New Math Society
The National honorary mathematics
fraternity, Pi Mu Epsilon, has awarded
chapter
a
to the Mathematics Department
at the University. Known as the Eta
Chapter of New York, the new society
has initiated more than 25 charter members.

Justice Jackson Lectures
The first lecturer under the James McCormick Mitchell, LLB'9B, Fund in University's Law School was Associate Justice Robert H. Jackson, LLD'46, of the

U. S. Supreme Court. His subject was
"Wartime Security and Liberty under
Law."

Progress is being made on erection of the new Medical-Dental Building on the
campus. Pictured here is the north wing, first section going up, as it appeared
early in September. Completion is scheduled for early in 1953.

GRANTS &amp;

BEQUESTS

INSURE PROGRESS
The growing stature of the University
in the fields of teaching and research is
continually being acknowledged by the
grants and bequests which are awarded
to insure those vital concerns of education.
Recently, the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis presented the University with a check for $41,048 to establish
a new study center for research into bulbar poliomyelitis at the Chronic Disease
Research Institute.
George C. Rice, Buffalo realtor and
builder, who died this summer left $500,-000 to the University as an endowment,
giving the University power to use income from the principal for any purposes
designated by its Council.
Awards from the federal government
and from heart associations recently have
totaled more than $50,000 and will provide for research in heart disease, cancer,
and rehabilitation.

SUMMER SESSION
ENROLLS 2,800
The University's Summer Session had
nearly 2800 students in attendance, according to Dr. Leslie O. Cummings, director.

A wide variety of courses covering almost all departments of the University
were offered, as well as the usual summer evening session classes.
Highlights of the program were a
three-day workshop for educators and
parent-teacher leaders from all parts of
Western New York, a summer program
for youngsters aged six to twelve, and
an arts and crafts exhibition of the work
done by art students of the Summer
Session.

NOW IS TIME
TO VISIT CAMPUS
How long has it been since you visited
the campus?
Sure, you've said from time to time,
"I must take a couple of leisure hours
one of these days and drop out to the
campus and see what's going on."
Be assured you will be most welcome!
Chancellor T. Raymond McConnell has
made it a special point in almost all his
talks before alumni groups to extend the
hospitality of the campus faculty and
staff to graduates and their friends; in
fact, he has urged them to stop in for at
least an "Hello" at his office in Hayes
Hall.
There are things happening on the
campus: the new Medical-Dental Building is going up speedily and every alumnus should drop by to be a "sidewalk
superintendent" for a while. Then, too,
there are the many departments of the
University where so many alumni have
spent so many days—these, too, are doing
interesting things and using new techniques you'll want to observe. And how
long has it been since you saw that "favorite professor" of yours?
The campus is loveliest, too, in the fall
of the year. Come this month!

PREGNANT PARAGRAPH

The Alumni Loyalty Fund Committee
a sober jolt out of this one.
Seems a School of Education graduate
received his annual letter from his Class
Agent, and he thought so highly of what
his friend wrote in his personal note that
he passed it on to the Alumni Office and
thence to the Fund Committee.
The Class Agent mentioned some casual personal matters and then he wrote
this final paragraph.
"Charlie, have you ever invested any
money? If you have, you know how carefully you watch and nurture that investment. It just occurred to me the other
night that you and I have made a darned
important investment by simply attending
and graduating from such an institution.
You know, it's vital that we keep our
hand in that place—that we keep informed on its policies, that we let the
powers-that-be know what we think, and,
above all, that we keep the school forever progressing and stable through an
annual financial expression of our interest
in our investment."

Donald Peterson, Robert Starks, Robert Feinen, and Alfred Goldsmith.
Fencing at the University started as an
"additional" sport back in 1936 when
those interested in the foils and epees
would gather in Norton Hall's unfinished
basement to learn as much as they could
about lunges and parries.
Kenneth D. Greene, BA'2l, MA'22,
now on active duty with the U. S. Army
as a major, was the first coach for the
group and he served in a voluntary and
unpaid status. However, his expert tutelage brought results for it wasn't long
before the fledgling sport began to attract
the attention of other students and the
athletic department. Other colleges began
to seek matches with the University team;
and the team itself commanded respect as

they won match after match and turned
out excellent individual fencers year after
year.

Fencing is now a varsity sport at the
University. In the past few years, opponents have included major colleges and

universities in the East and the Midwest.
Despite such stiff competition, the University swordsmen have maintained excellent won and lost records each year.
One of the best of these was during the

Oberlin. Losses were to Michigan and

YEARBOOKS NEEDED
Yearbooks are often of considerable assistance in the routine of the
Alumni Office. Then, too, they
provide valuable historical information.
Unfortunately, the Alumni Office
doesn't have all of the years included in its files and needs the
following years to complete the
record. Will you relinquish yours
and help out the Office? Here are
the ones needed:
1903 through 1921, 1923, 1924,
1926 and 1927.

26th HOMECOMING GAME ATTRACTS THOUSANDS

Pictured immediately above is a view of part of the crowd of 20,126who
attended the 26th Annual Homecoming. The Bulls lost to Colgate's Red
Raiders by a score of 47 to 13, but not until they scored two first-quarter
touchdowns to lead 13 to oas the period ended. Three first period photos
show the Bulls on the march to those TD's. At top left, Don Holland
drives over for the first score; at top center, Al Smolinskigains six yards in
the drive toward the second TD; and at top right, Carl Markey is brought
down after hauling in one Holland's aerials.
The gridiron loss didn't dampen the spirits of the alumni, as seen in the
lower pictures. The "fifth quarter" party held in Hotel Statler's Niagara
Room was a complete sell-out and Homecoming ChairmanHarold H. Johnson, BS(Bus)'43, had to exercise considerable ingenuity to seat late-comers.
At bottom, left and right, are views of the tables and the dance floor; at
center, is Alumni President Myron A. Roberts,DDS'3O,and his party which
included; Anthony S. Gugino, DDS'22, Loyalty Fund Chairman William J.

- - THE INCOME TAX RETURN!

You can't help it—you'll be in that annual mess pretty soon. The way
things are today, everyonemakes out an income tax return. In fact, if you
have made out a couple of these returns, you know that it's been practically
forced on you to allocate your monies wisely, where those dollars will do
the most good. And you might as well allocate them —or else you'll pay 'em
in tax to the government!
Here's what a taxexpert recommends for benevolences —and the University
comes under that classification:

assist them in filling in the figure on the check.

that its alumni acknowledge its gifts to them by endorsing it financially to the best of their individual capacity and appreciation each
and every year after graduation."

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

Chancellor McConnell spoke of investment in the University as an investment in "a dynamic enterprise"
where "earnings are plowed back, not
into the institution, but into the lives
of its graduates, into the cause of
truth and honor, into the advancement of many professions, into a
better life for all members of the
community, into the prosperity of
business and industry in this area,
and into the wealth of the whole Niagara Frontier".
DevelopmentProgram
The Chancellor, in pointing out that
privately-financed and independentlycontrolled higher education faces the
danger of state control, stated that
the University in maintaining its
growth and progress must depend on
corporations, friends of the institu-

tion, and its alumni.
Dr. McConnell applaudedthe alumni
pledge of more than $700,000 to the
1947 Centennial Fund and stated that
in so doing they "dramatically demonstrated that they expect to underwrite the future of the University".
He went on to state that the University would also look to its friends
among the citizenry and business to
participate with the alumni in a
forthcoming Development Program
designed to finish the Medical-Dental
Building and to secure funds for a
new building to house the Physics Department and provide badly-needed
classrooms for other departments. It
is expected that the first steps to secure these funds for the Development
Program will be taken in the spring
of '52.
Value to Community
Council President Knox also praised
the participation of alumni in the
previous development of the University. He cited the fact that the graduates have indeed by their participation in the professions and businesses
of the Niagara Frontier underlined
the enduring value of the University
to the community.
Honorary toastmaster was Chancellor-Emeritus Samuel P. Capen who
delighted the audience when he referred to them as "fellow-alumni",
noting his own degree of Doctor of
Civil Laws conferred in 1950.
Alumni-President Myron A. Roberts,
as toastmaster. In his
DDS'3O, acted
concluding remarks, he suggested
that the Alumni Luncheon become an
annual affair on campus and his
thought was enthusiastically endorsed
by the graduates present.

community, which has become a vast metropolitan area
of more than one million people with a greatly diversified
and constantly growing industrial economy. The University has deliberately and explicitly chosen to accept the
responsibilities of an urban institution.
One evidence of the urban character of the University,
is that it is the only institution in this region which offers
training in all the principal professions, including graduate work in the arts and sciences. What the community
sometimes takes for granted is in fact an invaluable
asset: the cultural, professional, civic, business, and industrial life of this area is constantly strengthened, expanded,
and enriched by the continuous flow of highly trained
young men and women into community service and into
professional and specialized callings. It is no accident
that Buffalo is one of the most outstanding centers of
medical and dental practice in the nation. This distinction
is the product of intimate cooperation between the Medical and Dental Schools, the Schools of Nursing and Pharagencies assomacy, the great hospitals and other health
ciated with them, and the distinguished members of the
professions who have served on the faculties. The people
of this area live in the confidence that they have immediate access to the best of medical service and that the
health of the community is the constant concern of its
great professional bodies. What a healthy people and a
healthful community mean in actual dollars to the industries which in peace and war are responsible for a large
part of the nation's productive enterprise is enormous.

Millard Fillmore College Expands Its Activities

A very great part of the University's direct service to
the community is performed through Millard Fillmore
College. With an enrollment of more than 5000, this is
one of the largest late-afternoon-evening divisions in relation to population in the country, and it is constantly
meeting new needs, whether for cultural pursuits or for
advanced training in science and technology. Among the
new programs it undertook in 1950-51 were for sections
of management training courses taught at the Pennsylvania Railroad offices; two sections of business letter writing taught at the Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company; a training program for personnel of the Iroquois
Gas Company, taught partly at the plant and partly at
Townsend Hail; an orientation course for newly- employed
engineers at the Sylvania Products Company, given on the
campus during the summer. The Pennsylvania Railroad
considered its management courses so successful that it
has asked the University to extend the work to Olean,
Dunkirk, and Rochester during 1951-52. Several of the
smaller cities in Western New York are experiencing
industrial expansion, and some of the firms in these localities have asked us to bring the University's educational
services to them.
Many other examples of liaison with business and industry could be mentioned. By adding to the courses already
offered, a two-year curriculum in Real Estate, leading to
the degree of Associate in Applied Science, has been
worked out in cooperation with the educational committee
of the Real Estate Association. A work-study plan has
been inaugurated as a new feature of the curriculum in
Retailing in the School of Business Administration which
has been so successfully conducted with the assistance
of several of the community's largest retail stores.
At a more advanced level, two programs are especially
noteworthy: Millard Fillmore College, the School of Engineering, and the School of Business Administration have
continued the cooperative plan for graduate training in
engineering and management for Westinghouse employees, and a graduate course in servomechanisms has been
given for engineering staff at the Bell Aircraft Corporation. In spite of the growth of such advanced programs
in recent years, I feel we have made only a beginning in
offering high-level courses to the scientific, managerial,
and production personnel in the region's industries.

GreaterDemands for Graduate Study

Some of this demand may be for short intensive courses
covering specific topics. But the opportunity for offering
through late afternoon and evening courses, varied curricula leading to the Master's and even to the Doctor's

is almost unlimited.
However it is extremely expensive to conduct an extensive program of graduate work, calling as it does for
highly trained and experienced staff and for personal attention to students, particularly to those students who do
not have access to the day-time facilities of the campus.
educaAs the University makes every effort to meet the
tional needs of the community, the community must also
respond with more adequate support of the institution in
supplying funds for classroom and laboratory facilities,
for endowment, and for current operations.

Buffalo section of the American Society for Quality Control held a well-attended one-day conference on Quality
Control. The Law School is planning an institute on the
work of law departments of cities and towns.
Such projects as these can be multiplied many times
with benefit to the community and, through constructive
public relations, to the University itself. The principal
handicaps are the amount of time it takes for the staff
to plan and conduct these conferences, and the lack of
residential facilities where conference members can work
together under the best possible conditions. When dormitories are secured, it will be possible to use them extensively during- the summer for special institutes and
meetings.

Regional Program in Social Work

Much has been said in favor of regional cooperation
among colleges and universities in providing specialized
educational programs, but little has been accomplished.
However, the School of Social Work, as the only accredited School in the up-state area, has taken leadership
in a coordinated program that includes both Syracuse
University and the University of Rochester. Students take
the degree of Master of Social Work at the University of
Buffalo, but may do a considerable part of the course
work at Syracuse, and a lesser amount at Rochester.

Development ofContract Research

Still another way of relating the University to the community is through its research facilities. Large corporations now maintain extensive research organizations and
laboratories. Smaller industries and businesses, however,
find it difficult or impossible to do so. Consequently, the
University of Buffalo has an opportunity to make a significant contribution to the economic development of the
corporaarea by expanding its research contracts with voluntary
tions and business firms. Civic agencies, both
and governmental, also need research assistance that only
a diversified university staff can supply. Frequently the
solution of a research problem requires the cooperation or
assistance of specialists in more than one field. The
University is a personnel pool from which the necessary
talent can be drawn for work on a complicated problem.
The advantage to the University in developing a strong
program of contract research is that it can maintain a
larger and more diversified faculty, encourage the staff
to engage actively in investigative work, employ a larger
number of graduate students as research assistants, and
secure more adequate scientific equipment. The danger
in such a program is that the energies of the faculty may
be diverted too greatly from fundamental to practical
projects of little scientific or scholarly value. But if the
research program is properly administered, this disadvantage may be minimized.

Officefor Coordinating Research

During: the past year, a small committee composed of
Dr. Claude B. Puffer, Dean Stockton Kimball, Dean Julius
W. Pratt, Professor Edmund D. McGarry, and Dean John
A. Beane as chairman, studied means of stimulating and
supporting more research of all types in the University,
including contract research with industry. By extensive
visitation, Dean Beane explored the needs of many firms
in the Niagara Frontier. He attempted to estimate the
University's present resources in staff and equipment, and
he made a partial inventory of the consultative work nowbeing done by faculty members individually. This survey
clearly indicated the need of an office in the University to
expedite contractual relations with industry, to coordinate
research activities and facilities, and to aid faculty members in securing support for their own research programs.
This office should be established in the near future.

ENROLLMENT TRENDS

The postwar enrollment reached its peak in 1948-49.
Since then, as the number of veterans has declined, the
student body has decreased in size substantially. The enrollment in all day divisions in 1949-50 was 6124, and in
Millard Fillmore College, 5062. The day division total
dropped to 5095 in 1950-51,but the Millard Fillmore registration increased to 5325. This enrollment, however, was
considerably less than anticipated when the budget for
1950-51 was prepared in the spring of 1950. It was necessary, therefore, to make rigid economies throughout the
academic year, an unpleasant task in which the educational divisions of the University cooperated loyally. The
actual income was approximately $240,000 less than the
budgeted amount. In spite of that gap, the year closed
with a deficit of less than $13,000.

Budgetary Effects of Decline in Enrollment

It was impossible immediately to reduce the educational
budget in-proportion to the decline in enrollment, for reasons which are obvious to those who are familiar with
university affairs. Furthermore, drastic budgetary reductions would have forced the curtailment or abandonment
of educational programs which have been developed over
a long period. It is extremely difficult to recruit an outstanding faculty, but very easy to lose it in a period of

severe curtailment.

Three objectives were imperative, therefore: to keep the
principal staff intact, to maintain the educational integrity
of the University, and to make at least a modest general
increase in faculty salaries, which have long been too low.
In order to accomplish these purposes, it was necessary
to increase tuition in all the divisions of the University
and to budget a deficit of approximately $135,000.00 for
1951-52. While deficits are to be avoided if possible, the
University, during the period of abnormally large postwar
the
enrollments, set aside a stabilization fund to cushion
decline in enrollment which, even without the complications created by the Korean war, it knew was inevitable.
It is to be hoped that the actual enrollment for 1951-52
will be enough larger than the conservative prediction on
which the budget was made to reduce the budgeted deficit
materially.

Long-Term Enrollment Problems

In his annual report for 1948-49,Chancellor Capen predicted that as the number of veterans decreased the enrollment would decline to a postwar "normal" level of
4400 for the day divisions and 5000 for Millard Fillmore
College. At this level, the day enrollment would be about
two-and-one-fourth times as large as the prewar peak.
clearly
Since, as this is written, the nation lacks a
formulated manpower policy, it is impossible to predict
next year's enrollment with any confidence. It is to be
hoped that the actual enrollment will fall not far below
4400 and that after a short period the size of the student
body will rise steadily. Ifthis gain is to materialize, however the University will have to strengthen and expand
its effort to attract students. With this purpose in mind,
we have appointed a full-time Admissions Counselor to
take charge of high school relations. But this is not
enough. A broad public relations program, which the
University has long needed, must be put into effect with
adequate staffing. Residential facilities must be provided
on the campus at the earliest opportunity. The educational offering must be made increasingly attractive to
women, of whom the University has too small a proportion in the student body. Finally, the University should
do much more to encourage desirable forms of student

life; this is always difficult in an urban institution, but it
is by no means impossible if students, faculty, and administration work wholeheartedly together.
The size of the student body will determine to a considerable degree the number of specialties that can be
offered to students and to the community. Many new
curricula, undergraduate, graduate, and professional, have
been added since the war, and they can be maintained
only with a higher income level. This greater income, of
course, must not come from tuition alone. It is essential,
as has been said repeatedly, to secure large gifts both for
endowment and for current expenditures.

AIR FORCE ROTC

Fortunately for the institution's enrollment prospects,
its service to the nation, in the spring of 1951 the
Air Force announced the selection of the University for
the establishment of an ROTC Unit. The Unit was officially activated on July 2, 1951, and instruction began in
September. There are more than five hundred students in
the basic course, which is open to all physically-qualified
freshmen.

EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS

Most of the educational divisions of the University are
constantly studying their curricula. The School of Nursing has been engaged in a comprehensive survey of its
programs. Through its curriculum committee, the College
of Arts and Sciences has begun a review of its educational purposes and the means of their attainment, as the
faculty resolved to do periodically when it adopted the
major report of the curriculum committee in 1946.
One of the most interesting of these self-surveys is
under way in the Medical School. Under the leadership
of Dr. Edward M. Bridge, fifteen young clinical instructors
have each taken five freshmen as advisees, and have met
with them every two weeks during the year. On alternate
weeks, the instructors have met as a group to discuss
curricular, instructional, and guidance problems in the
light of their close relationships with representatives of
the basic science departments, and with students. Faculty
members from other divisions of the University also have
attended these conferences.
During 1951-52 the same instructors will carry their
advisees into the sophomore year, and a new group of
counselors will work with incoming freshmen. The discussion of problems of medical education will continue.
From this project, which has evoked widespread interest
and attention, it is not too much to expect that a fundamental revision of the medical curriculum may result.
The Medical School project is contagious. The Dental
School Faculty is considering a somewhat comparable
program. Late in the year, faculty members from the
Medical and Dental Schools, together with others from the
social sciences, the physical and biological sciences, the
School of Nursing, the School of Social Work and the
School of Education met for a preliminary discussion of

group considered an understanding of human growth and
adjustment as a significant phase of general and liberal
education, as well as a necessary background for specialized and professional curricula in many fields. The University of Buffalo is peculiarly fitted to take national
leadership in the development of this type of educational
program.

them to the Committee on General Administration for
recommendation to the Council for action."
After a favorable report by Paul A. Schoellkopf, Jr.,
chairman of a special advisory committee of alumni and
members of the Council previously appointed to consider
financial problems involved in proceeding with the new
structure, and after hearing reports from the Committee
on General Administration and the Committee on Buildings and Grounds, the Council, on March 14, 1951. by
unanimous vote authorized the Committee on General
Administration to execute contracts for the construction
of the building at a cost not to exceed $4,500,000.
Pursuant to this action, the Committee on General
Administration approved contracts with several firms.
Ground-breaking ceremonies were held on April 6, 1951.
and construction was under way by the end of the fiscal
year, June 30, 1951.
Thus were the hopes and plans of the Council, the University, the alumni and friends of the institution over a
long period of time finally realized. The decision to proceed with the building was in a very real sense a recognition of the leadership of Chancellor Capen. who long had
urged the step. It was also the expression of the Council's
determination to maintain the standing of the University's
oldest division and of two of its most distinguished professional schools. The professions concerned, and the health
and welfare of the entire Niagara Frontier, will benefit
immeasurably from the forward-looking action of the
University and its governing board.
Toward the total cost of $4,500,000, the University has
presently or prospectively available about $2,000,000 in
special and general bequests, and in special and general
gifts. The Council immediately turned to the problem of
securing the additional two and one-half million dollars.
It took cognizance, also, of another immediate physical
need, to which the Faculty Advisory Committee had given
priority second to the Medical-Dental Building; namely, a
structure to house the Physics Department and classrooms and offices for other departments. The Physics
Department, whose work is fundamental to all sciences,
including the medical sciences, and to engineering, is
housed in one of the oldest buildings on the campus. It is
not only crowded,but lacks the instructional and research
facilities necessary to keep pace with a fast-developing
field. The additional classrooms and offices are essential
to relieve desperate overcrowding, which will become even
worse when, after a two-year period, the enrollment may
be expected to rise again.
These and other needs made it essential for the Council
to make plans for both the immediate and the long-range
financial development of the University.
DEVELOPMENT COUNCDL, APPOINTED
On February 5, 1951, the Council authorized the appointment of a Committee on University Development,
to be composed of the Chairman of the Council and the
Chancellor, ex officio, and four other members to be
appointed by the Chairman. The functions of the Committee were outlined as follows:
1. To consider and study the immediate and long range
financial needs of the University.
2. To keep the alumni informed of these needs and encourage their aid and support.
3. To help build up the volume of annual contributions
and the flow of special gifts, grants and bequests to
the University.
4. To provide plans to raise funds necessary for the
construction and acquisition of new buildings and
equipment and the rehabilitation of the existing
plant.

5. To plan the financing of future educational, research
and scientific projects.
6. To organize sub-committees to carry out these purposes.
The Chairman appointed the following persons to the
Committee: Paul A. Schoellkopf, Jr., chairman; Lewis G.
Harriman; Charles H. Diefendorf; Francis A. Smith; and
Alex F. Osborn.

DEFENSE AND DEFERMENT COMMITTEES
Relation to Defense Program

As the year began, no one could tell how far or how
rapidly the war in Korea might spread, how extensive the
military mobilization might be, or how greatly the government, the military forces, and industry might command
the facilities of colleges and universities. It seemed essential, therefore, for the University to be ready to meet

Alumni Bulletin
effectively and efficiently whatever demands might come.
Preparation for these contingencies was made the responsibility of a Committee on Relations of the University to
the Defense Program, of which Dean Paul E. Mohn of
the School of Engineering was chairman.
This committee proceeded expeditiously to make a
survey of housingproblems; the University's resources for
various types of specialized training for the armed services ; the research capacities of the several divisions;
means of serving area industries, including the organization of what in the new situation would correspond to the
ESMWT courses of the last war {which were than administered through Cornell University but which the University of Buffalo with its new School of Engineering is now
fully capable of conducting); problems of civil defense;
and methods of acceleration, including the admission of
freshmen at the beginning of the second semester and the
summer session. Dean Puffer made two trips to Washington to offer the University's cooperation and facilities
to federal agencies.
While many of the programs for which the committee
laid the groundwork did not need to be inaugurated, its
work was by no means unimportant, for the data it
assembled will be useful in developing- the University's
long-range plans.

CAMPUS RESIDENCES

Faculty Advisory Committee Report

The Faculty Advisory Committee, of which Professor
Edmund D. McGarry was chairman, continued to submit
useful reports and recommendations. The committee completed a report on the building program, which included
a list of priorities for construction. It also brought up to
date and expanded an earlier report on dormitories.

Committee on Student Housing

A faculty-student committee on housing1 was appointed
early in the year. This committee unanimously recommended that dormitories should be given first place in the
University's housing development, and submitted a series
of suggestions for planning" the residences. The architect
incorporated these proposals wherever possible, after discussing his preliminary plans with the committee, and
revised them in light of its criticisms and suggestions.
The result should be an unusually efficient and satisfactory set of plans.

MAJOR ADMINISTRATIVE APPOINTMENTS

Three major appointments to the administrative staff
of the University were made during the year: Dr. G.
Lester Anderson, Dean of Administration; George N.
Stevens, dean of the Law School; and Dr. Claude E.
Puffer, who had been Dean of Administration since 1945,
Comptroller and Treasurer of the University.
Dr. Puffer, as Comptroller and Treasurer, succeeded
George D. Crofts, who retired after thirty years in that
post. His retirement, made necessary because he had
reached the age limit, was accepted by the Council with
regret.

JAMES McCORMICK MITCHELL LECTURE

The first lecture under the James McCormick Mitchell
Fund, which was created in May 1950 in the Law School,
was presented this year by the Honorable Robert H.
Jackson of the United States Supreme Court.

INAUGURAL

CEREMONIES

Two community events were held by the University in
connection with the inauguration of the Chancellor on
January 5 and 6, 1951. Delegates from many colleges
and universities in the United States, in Canada and
across the sea attended the ceremonies. A civic dinner
was held on Friday evening in Hotel Statler; the principal
addresses were delivered by Dr. James Lewis Morrill,
President of the University of Minnesota, and Dr. Oliver
C. Carmichael, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the
State University of New York. The Inaugural Convocation took place on Saturday morning in Kleinhans Music
Hall. The installation was performed by Seymour H.
Knox, Chairman of the Council, following which the Chancellor delivered his inaugural address

GIFTS AND LEGACIES

The University was the recipient during the year of
many benefactions. A complete list of gifts and legacies
received before July 1 is contained in the Treasurer's
report. Only three, of special interest, will be mentioned
here.

the principal to be held intact forever by the University
and the income to be used for any purposes designated
by the Council. This bequest may amount to nearly
$500,000. In his will Mr. Rice made this significant statement: "Knowing the record and achievements of the University of Buffalo and the services it has rendered to our
city and state, I cannot but feel deeply concerned in the
future of this truly great institution during the coming
difficult years and feel that it should have the substantial
support of all good citizens."
Mrs. Philip J. Wickser financed the acquisition by the
University of the famed James Joyce Collection of literary
materials and personal effects. Mrs. Wickser's gift will
be an enduring memorial to her husband, a devotee of the
law and the arts, who died August 14, 1950. In addition
to acquiring the collection, the Lockwood Memorial Library
has established the "Wickser Room," study quarters for
scholars interested in Joyce and the literary movement
which he influenced so markedly.

Mrs. Thomas B. Lockwood established the Thomas B.
Lockwood Memorial Fund with an initial contribution of
$5000. This Fund will enable the University to purchase
additional books and manuscripts of modern poets and
to purchase rare books for the library's distinguished
collections.
The total amount of gifts and legacies received during
1950-51 was $293,284.34.

APPOINTMENT OF INVESTMENT COUNSEL

Since a complete report of the University's financial
operations is appended herewith, lengthy comment at this
point is unnecessary. I would like to say that the University has been unusually fortunate in Mr. Crofts' supervision of its investments. The University's investment
account has become large enough now, however, to make
it desirable to employ professional investment counsel.
The Council therefore employed the Marine Trust Company as investment counsel, and the Manufacturers and
Traders Trust Company as custodian of securities. This
change is in accord with widely accepted practice among

educational institutions.

CONCERN FOR MORAL

STANDARDS

The nation has been shocked in recent months by
revelations of malfeasance on the part of public officials
and bribery and dishonesty on the part of certain college
athletes. These transgressions have been deplored or,
occasionally, excused. Too little has been said, however,
about the culpability of those individuals, corporations, or
institutions that have contributed to the dishonesty. While
their actions do not absolve from blame the individuals
who succumbed to temptation, they are equally guilty.

Responsibility of Higher Institutions

Colleges and universities that do not hold before their
students high standards of ethical and moral behavior fail
in their mission. If these institutions do not themselves
maintain the highest integrity, they are unworthy of the
responsibilities with which they are charged. Too many
of them are vulnerable in their athletic policies and practices. By competing in the open market for athletes with
excessive offers of financial aid, they contribute directly
to the recipients' distortion of values. By treating players
differently from other students, they compromise their
primary purposes as educational institutions. By extending undue and sometimes surreptitious financial assistance, they debase the recipients and they tend to commercialize and professionalize what should in the interests
of the games themselves be amateur sports.

Effects of Over-Emphasis on Athletics

Someonehas said that college athletic teams should be
composed of students who play and not players who
register. I take it this means that a student who attends
college primarily to play football or some other sport has
missed the point of higher education and that an institution which encourages him to do so has compromised its
own educational principles, unless it frankly states that
athletics come first in its hierarchy of activities and
values. Athletics may contribute to broad educational
objectives; they are defensible only as they do so. Stressed
out of proportion to their educational values for students
who participate in them, or out of proportion to the other
activities of an institution, they may easily militate
against the attainment of educational purposes.
The insidious effect of over-emphasis on athletics is
reaching into the secondary schools, and even into the
lower grades. It is said that under the influence of the
two-platoon system, elementary school boys are being

drilled in a particular football position, and that thi3
specialization is continued through the high school. This
practice seems to belie most of the values, such as adaptability and versatility, that have been claimed for competition in sports. But this is not the most serious result.
Secondary school teachers and administrators are seriously concerned over the effect on the character and personality of boys whom the higher institutions begin to
cultivate and bid for long before graduation.
Those who are deeply interested in the maintenance of
amateur intercollegiate athletics, including thoughtful
sports writers and commentators; alumni who are jealous
of their institutions' ethical and educational integrity; and
the public at large, disturbed or disgusted by the inroads
of commercialization and professiorialization, are demanding reform. It is high time colleges and universities put
their own houses in order.
The following would seem to be a minimum basis for
a sound and defensible athletic policy and program:
1. Students who participate in intercollegiate sports
should be treated like all other students with respect
to academic standards and procedures, including
standards for admission.
2. All financial aid for all students contributed for athletes should be administered by the institution's
regular committee on scholarships and loans.
3. There should be no athletic scholarships. Students
interested in athletics should be considered for
grants-in-aid on the same basis as other students.
The maximum amount of scholarship assistance or
other grant-in-aid for an individual athlete should
not be greater than that for any other student.
The number of scholarships or grants-in-aid awarded
to athletes should not be out of proportion to those
available to other students.
i. Steps should be taken to make certain that athletes
receive no surreptitious financial assistance or compensation.

5. An institution interested in intercollegiate competition should maintain a balanced program of intercollegiate sports. If it is truly interested in the
educative values of athletics, it should also provide
an adequate intra-mural program.
6. An institution should build its intercollegiate schedules by playing schools with comparable educational
standing and comparable athletic policies.

CONCLUSION
This report opened with an emphasis on the many
specialized services that the University should provide for
the community. But these contributions, important as
they are, will not discharge the institution's obligation to
its constituency. Neither will they alone justify its existence and continued growth. The University's primary
purpose should be to educate informed and responsible
citizens capable of enlightened civic leadership.
If it is to attain this purpose, the University must
protect its intellectual freedom and maintain its educational integrity. All who are loyal to democratic principles, all who believe deeply in the free individual and
the free society will resist any attempt to curb the right

to seek the truth.
But as it insists on the right of intellectual freedom, so
must the University accept the responsibility of intellectual integrity. It has been wisely pointed out that freedom for students to learn is the corollary of freedom of
faculty members to teach. The function of a university
is not to propagandize but to lead the student to determine facts, weigh evidence, define values, examine points
of view, and arrive at independent judgments. This is
not to say that scholars and teachers should not have convictions or, which is fundamental, the right to express
them. Neither is it to say that they are always free of
biases. Though scholars and teachers should be less the
victims of prejudice, partizanship, or dogmatism than persons with less rigorous intellectual training, nevertheless,
being human, they should be excused some limitations. But
they should possess invariable strengths, as well. One of
these should be deep respect for the student's right and
obligation to seek the truth and to find the path of uprightness. I have known very few faculty members indeed
who violated this ideal.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER
(ABSTRACT)

To the Chancellor and the Council of the
University ofBuffalo:

The annual report of the Comptroller and Treasurer for
the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1951 is presented
herewith.
The University at June 30, 1951 was a corporation worth
$22,187,993.87. Its total assets were distributed as follows:
Endowment Assets and Funds Temporarily Functioning
as Endowment Assets, $8,566,731.72; Plant Fund Assets,
§10,676,721.83; and Operating Fund Assets, $2,944,540.32.
Special Purpose Funds of the University now total
$6,384,143.42, as against $6,222,882.78 at June 30, 1950,an
increase for the year of $161,260.64. They furnish the
backbone of the University's Endowment Fund, representing, as they do, the professorships, lectureships and
scholarships which help to attract able scholars to the
University's faculty and young men and women of ability
and promise to its student body. They serve also as
memorials to the generous donors whose names they bear.
Analysis of Land, Buildings and Equipment, shows the
total value of Land, Buildings and Equipment at June 30,
1951 at $9,971,760.08. During the year under review,
ground was broken for the new $4,500,000 Medical-Dental
building on the campus.
Also during the year under review, a new asset came
under the jurisdiction of the University. It is the Chronic
Disease Research Institute and Alcoholic Rehabilitation
Center located at 2183 Main Street, the site of the former
United States Marine Hospital. Under a cooperative arrangement with the Public Health Service of the Federal
Security Agency, and the Department of Health of the
State of New York, the University is authorized to establish, operate and maintain the institute for the purpose of
conducting research into the causes of chronic illness and
the development of improvedmethods of prevention, early
diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation in connection with
such diseases. While the buildings for the enterprise
remain the property of the federal government, they are
under the full authority of the University as to their
operation and maintenance. For the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1952, the State of New York has appropriated
$300,000 to cover the entire cost of operating the Center.
It is expected, also, that some additional income and research grants will be received from other sources.
The University buildings and grounds are in an excellent state of upkeep and maintenance. The buildings are
inspected regularly from roof to basement, and repairs are
made where indicated. A regular schedule of painting is
maintained, as well as pointing up and caulking of all
areas calling for such treatment. The trees on the campus,
both deciduous and conifer, are sprayed in the proper
season and a regular schedule of trimming and pruning
is maintained for all deciduous trees. Fortunately all
areas of the campus have been improved and landscaped.
To keep the campus beautiful now is largely a matter of
proper care and maintenance.
The following is a comparative table of operating income and expense of the University for the fiscal years
ended June 30, 1949, June 30, 1950 and June 30, 1951:

An examination of the foregoing table discloses that
fees received from students declined $623,081.14 during
the year under review. The decrease was due in large
measure to the continued departure of the veterans who
have completed their courses of training under the G.I.
Bill. However, mobilization for war also made its inroads
into the student body to some extent. The decline in enrollment was felt in all departments except the Schools of
Medicine and Dentistry, where enrollment always remains
fairly stable, and the School of Nursing.
Fortunately the administration had anticipated the falling off in student fees and was able to put economies into
effect in all departments of the 1950-1951 budget, with the
result that the year closed on June 30, 1951 with only a
slight operating deficit of $12,514.10.
During the year under review the University Council
decided to seek outside counsel for the management of its
investment portfolio and to turn the physical keeping of
its securities over to an outside custodian. Accordingly,
The Marine Trust Company of Buffalo was engaged as
investment adviser and the Manufacturers and Traders
Trust Company as custodian of its securities. The market
value on the day the securities were turned over by the
University was 118.62% of their cost, or book value, or
$1,478,821.94 in excess of their cost, or book value.
During the year under review the University received
the following sums in full or part payment of bequests,
grants and gifts: New York State Grants-in-Aid for

So much for the year which ended June 30, 1951. As
for the financial condition of the University itself, I like
to feel that it has never been in a more fortunate position.
It has the following operating reserves and surpluses at
June 30, 1951:
Reserve for operating
$ 50,200.00
Reserve for contingencies
100,000.00
Reserve for Income Stabilization
1,000,000.00
1,114,171.19
Operating Fund Surplus
Total Reserves and Surpluses
$2,264,371.19
Dr.

With these operating reserves, the University should be
able to face securely these immediate years of shrinking
enrollment and declining student fees.
In addition to the foregoing operating reserves amounting to $2,264,371.19, the Balance Sheet at June 30, 1951
shows an Endowment Investment Reserve of $121,387.58,
which is made up of profits actually realized on the sale
of securities in the University's Endowment Fund account.
This reserve is designed to absorb all profits or losses
realized on the sale or exchange of securities.
Favorable as the University's position is in all these
respects, however, there continue to be several elements
of weakness in its financial structure. One of these is the
fact, so often emphasized in my annual reports, that
90.65% of the annual income is derived from student fees
and only 8.22% represent income from endowment. Until
this situation is corrected by the building up of its endowment funds yielding free income, the University will continue to be in a dangerous position.
As I come to take my leave of the institution which has
been my life for almost fifty years, I am moved by two
conflicting emotions, sadness and pride—sadness that one
cannot go on doingthe thing one loves to do until the end,
and pride in the University's steadygrowth over the years
in resources and prestige and favor in the community.
To have participated to any degree in that growth is its
own rich reward. I extend my gratitude to the Council
and to my colleagues on its committees, to the administrative officers of the University, to the faculty, students and
alumni. To my loyal staff my gratitude goes beyond the
bounds of expression. I shall forever share with all of
them a deep and abiding interest in the future of the
University of Buffalo.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE D. CROFTS, Comptroller and Treasurer.

CAGERS
ALREADY SUCCESSFUL
Basketball Coach Mai Eiken this year has put tog-ether
one of the highest-scoring cage squads ever to pound the
boards for the University.
Reminiscent of the '31-32 team, this year's Bulls are
small but rangy. Althoughonly halfway through their season, they boast
a 13 over 2 record and should prove
even better as they progress through
a top-flight schedule.
Led by Captain Hal Kuhn, a senior,
and Jim Home, yearling sensation,
the eager-Bulls have topped the 100
mark twice this season and are currentlymaintaining a game average of
76 points. Kuhn and Home, incidentally, lead Western N. Y. college
players with 19.7 and 16.3 game ay-

High spot of the season, thus far,
was the victory over Niagara UniverCoach Eiken
sity. Another game yet to be played,
which will attract a "full house" is that with Canisiua,
traditional rival for Western New York cage supremacy.
Eiken is pointing for this, and certainly has the material
to work with.
"Height, we lack, but our floor speed and shooting accuracy should make up the difference," says Eiken. So
far, the Bulls have proved his point, for they have had
little trouble with the oppositions' tall men.

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

�By Way of

introduction

This issue of the Alumni Bulletin marks another step forward in the University's
desire to keep its alumni as well informed as possible about their University and its
activities.
It is particularly fitting that the "theme" of this Bulletin should be centered
on the educational plans of the schools and colleges of the University for the next
fifty years. In December, the University sponsored a Mid-Century Convocation
which brought together leaders from many fields of thought and endeavor to discuss
the outlook for mankind for the next half-century. The outstanding success of that
Convocation is well-known to alumni.
And, now, in this issue alumni have an unusual opportunity to get a preview of
the future plans and possibilities of each of the educational divisions of the University.
I have found that although they like to reminisce, as all old grads do, the
alumni of the University of Buffalo are unusually interested in its present activities
and its future program. This is the mark of true alumni loyalty and we shall continue to keep the graduates and former students of the University up-to-date on its
educational affairs. It is this informed alumni spirit that will underwrite the future
of an independent University.
We at the University are hopeful that this presentation will assist the alumni
to greater understanding of their Alma Mater, its distinction and its future opportunities for service to young people and to the communities from which they will

come.

A University
Is Many Things

b G. Lester Anderson
Dean of Administration
y

Without apology1, I am going to write
about the University of Buffalo in a personal vein. I am addressing you, the
Alumni of the University, for the first time
—either in speech or writing. I joined
the University faculty and its administration staff only last August. You, its
alumni, have known it longer and know
some aspects of it much more intimately
than I ever will. Yet I hope you will not
think me presumptuous if I write of my
impressions of the University of Buffalo
—its present and its potential.
Two aspects of the University, each of
which are somewhat paradoxical, have
been impressed upon me. First, the University, founded in 1846, is no longer a
young institution. As a result it has the
wisdom that characterizes maturity. But
several of the professional schools were
founded-in the last twenty-five years, and
two divisions,the Schoolof Engineering
in 1946 and the Division of Generaland
Technical Studiesin 1950, have been established in the last eight years. The
University has the vigor and adaptability
to changing social needs that are thought
typically to characterize youth. The University then has its roots deep in the conserving influencesof more than a century
of American history and the history of
the Niagara Frontier, and at the same
time has the vigorous dynamism of a perpetually youthfulinstitution.
The second impression of the University of Buffalo, also paradoxical, is this.
While the University of Buffalo was
foundedand has been maintained for more
than a century as an independently controlled and independentlyfinancedUniversity—obligated to no other social organization, governmental or private—it has
had a strong and persistent sense of social
responsibility to the people of Buffalo and
Western New York. It would have been

for the University to grow awayfrom
the community. But, in truth, it has an
intimacy with the community seldom
achieved by institutions not controlled and
financedby local or state governments.
And this community intimacy is growing
stronger. The Mid-Century Convocation
of last December was a symbol of the
mutual enrichment which the University
and the Niagara Frontier are experienceasy

ing.

Suchqualities as these which have been
impressed upon me
the wisdom of
maturity and the vigor of youth and independence coupled with social responsibility—are the characteristics of the University of Buffalobecause of the people associated with it. Again over these last several months Ihave been impressed by the
people with whom I work daily. As the
Dean of Administration I must each week,

—

indeed almost daily, meet with members
of the Council,Deans and Directors of the
divisions, departmental chairman,executive committees and individual faculty,
members of the Treasurer's staff, the staff
of Norton Union and the Alumni office,
students,and others. These associations
have been marked by a uniform and warm
graciousness which I as a new administrator have deeplyfelt.
I have been amazed not so much by the
conscientious,constructive,and imaginative service rendered by the members of
the Council but by the number of hours
of detailed and laborious service put in
by them on University affairs.This is true
for both appointed and alumni-elected
members.
The University has also impressed me
by its inspiring and knowledgable leadership, by a faculty both creative and conscientious,and a student body of modesty
and good sense.
A University is many things only a

portion of which touch the life of any

individual associated with it. Let me describe some of the important services not
touched upon in the programsdiscussed
by the Deans elsewhere in this Bulletin,
When a student expresses an interest in
enrolling in the University he meets with
the Admissions Counselor.This office,established just last summer, has completed
and extended many of the services formerly performed as well by members of
the Dean of Studentsoffice. The Admissions Counselornot only provides bulletins and other information about the
various educational programsof the University but meets personally the student
and often his parents. There were, for
example, 135 such face-to-face
meetings in
the thirty days between January 13 and
February 13. An "Acquaintance Day" and
other semi-formalprograms are arranged
for groups of high school students interested in becoming students. A number of
the Buffalo Hi-Y groups have recently
been visiting the campus to come to know
it better. The Admissions Counseloralso
visits the high school on the occasion of
their "College Days" and at other times
strengthens our relations with the schools
which are so important to us.
The Dean of students office often arranges tests and gives specialized guidance to prospective as well as enrolled
students. The Committeeon Scholarships
and Loans is frequently able to assist students in bringing their plans for a University education to fruition. The housing
bureau of the Dean of Women's office
helps the out-of-towner arrange living
quarters. The dormitory program, construction of which we confidently expect
to begin soon, will tremendously improve
our facilities for these out-of-towners.The
officesof the Registrar in cooperation with
the administrators of the colleges see that
students are formally admitted and that

�5

class schedules are arranged. Abundant
extra-curricular activities are available to
students. These are typically supervised
and managed by the students themselves
through the Board of Governorsof Norton Union.
A word about these activities is in
order. Somelook upon extra-curricular
activities—writingfor the Spectrum, planning and publishing the Buffalonian,participation in such varied activities as the
Blue Masquers or the Rifle Club, or preparing floats for Moving-Up Day —as
fringe activities to University life. Suchis
not the case. These activities enrich the
lives of students in ways that are important to the accomplishment of the true
purposes of a University, particularly the
important one of educating a responsible
group of young people for civic and social leadership. Theactivities which center
in Norton Hall are an essential part of
the University of Buffalo. Our only
problem is that they are out-growing
their quarters. Visit Norton some noon
hour and be impressed!
The University does not forget its gradare handed out at
The Alumni Luncheon held in connection with the December convocation was to me the most impressive event of the two days. As I sat
on the raised platform overlooking the
more than nine hundred alumni and friends
eating together and renewing friendships,
I was completely sure of the vigor and
dynamism of the University community.
Thealumni office staff, the alumni officers,
uates once diplomas
commencement time.

the class and college representatives serving their fellow alumni and the University are continuing agents of the interest
which the University and its graduates
reciprocally share. The University is not
maintained by noble ideals alone, as administrators are well aware. The Alumni
Loyalty fund is most important to the
University. But noble ideals are basic and
loyalty is a noble virtue. And so the
Loyalty Fund, so well established at Buffalo, is symbolic of both the material and
idealist support which the graduates of the
University give their alma mater.
I have been writing of services to students not made explicit in the reports by
the Deans which follow in this Bulletin.
But the University has other responsibilities than to provide an education to students in and out of classes. What is a
University anyway?
Any university worthy of the accolade
that the use of the name confers—andthis
is most definitely true of the University
of Buffalo—is basically a community of
scholars. This community is here to serve
the larger community in three ways: (1)
to educate the youngpeople who are admitted to its schools and colleges, (2) to
discover new truth and to show its relevancy to the solutions of the problems of
life, and (3) to give to the larger community the intellectual,cultural, and civic
leadership through service that a group
of scholars are best equipped to give.
The University is not then a relatively
simple, static, homogeneous community.

Rather it is complex, dynamic, and diversified.Studentsmust be served always.
But the Buffalo faculty moves forward
with its research—in the sciences,the humanities, and the social sciences;in law,
medicine,engineering, and all the other
important professional areas. The faculty
members seek out new knowledge on
their own and in organized groups such
as the Chronic Disease Research Center
and the recently established Educational
Research Center.The University aggressively seeks to make the talents of its
faculty useful to other groups of the
Niagara Frontier through such facilities
as the also recently established Corporation Liaison Office.
What of the future of the University?
The future is best predicted by the past.
The past of the University of Buffalo is
remarkable for its dynamic qualities,—for
the vision and service of the citizens of
Western New York who contributed to its
establishment and development and for
the loyal devotion of its staff to the high
purposes of a communityoriented University. I would not have joined the University of Buffalo faculty to share in their
labors if I had not been confidentthat this
past history would be the history of the
future. The dynamic power of the Western New York community and of the
people who serve at the University of
Buffalo will carry the institution forward.
We can not see in detail the developments
of the next half century. But we know
that they will be real and relevant to the
total life of this community and the na-

The fate of our democracy, whatever
it may be, is also the fate of our colleges
of liberal arts. They can exist only so
long as democracy exists. Regimented
ideas and colleges cannotlive side by side.
A college in exile is an indictment of a
civilization.
But freedom and democracy are not
static principles. All values change from
age to age and the interpretation of one
generation is seldom that of another. Today the conception of freedomis taking
on a larger meaning than it has ever had.
Our generation is thinking of the threat
to freedomwhich comes from poverty and
insecurity, from sickness and the slum,
from social and economic conditions in
which human beings cannotbe free. Our
generation is &lt;ust beginning to realize
fully what it should have begun to suspect at the outset of the depression—that
communism thrives on despair and frustration.
Every social fact or phenomenon must
constantly be reinterpreted and given its
current value: it must be re-expressed in
contemporary idiom to accord with contemporary thought. While it would be
silly to maintain that "Time makes ancient good uncouth",it is equally true that
"Time's winged chariot" brings strange
changes in values; stagnation and death
await ideas as well as social and economic arrangements which have lost their
power to grow, to re-adapt, to re-adjust.

Tobe sure, there is a balance to be maintained between the spirit of change and
the spirit of conservation. There can be
nothing real without both. A highdegree
of critical selectivity is necessary
if change
is to be kept from degenerating into capricious variation. As Whitehead said in
an article in the Atlantic, mere change
without conservation is a passage from
nothing to nothing;but, on the other hand,
conservation without change cannot conserve. In the words of that great Frenchman Jaures whose heart was broken when
he found that socialism could not prevent
the war of 1914,when he was accused of
neglecting tradition: "Take from the altar
of the past the fire, not the ashes."
The immediate has never been the realm
of the truth-seeker. His provinces are the
past, from which he kindles new flames
after warming up the old ashes,and the

future, where he starts new fires in places
where his knowledge of the past tells him
they are the most needed.
I am not necessarily praising the cloistered life; however, I would like to say
that it mayincubate much needed thought,
since thinking obviously is best done in
quiet. The fuller the market-place is of
shouting, sweating, shoving people, the
fuller it is of empty-mindedpeople who
are anxious to go somewhere but have a
vague idea of their destination. Surely the
student can do a necessary work for his
nation in this grave moment of its history by detaching himself from many of
its pre-occupations, deciding that he cannot save the country over-night, refusing
to let himself be absorbed by distractions
about which, as a student, he can do
little. For this is not the last crisis in
human affairs. War cannot destroy the
spirit of man; worry can.
Those who keep their heads in this
crisis, those whose counsels we should be
most willing to follow, are not the defeatist philosophers who have found life's
struggle meaningless; not those obstructionists and isolationists who are completely done with the old world and its
iniquities; but those who will help us to
remove from our lives that transiency and
sense of constantly impending change
which is the fundamental source of all
our worries. The young scholar can hardly
without arrogance prepare consciously for
himself such a career. But the young
truth-seeker who will begin with habits
of independent thinking will later come
naturally into the way of the trusted
truth-finder, who, though perhaps isolated, is yet a guide for many.
Nor have I, unfortunately, anyformula
to tell this or any other college how to
prepare for such a noble end. I do not
use the word "train", because it is one
of the worst words in the whole educational jargon. Animals are trained,but
men are educated. If we persist in using
the word "train" let it be used correctly,
in other words with a view to endowing
people with skills and techniques and systems (all verynecessary
for a livelihood),
not with disciplines and philosophies (all
very necessary
for a life).
All universities are criticized for being
apparently indifferent to the practical

affairs of their own community; a vulgar
parlance calls it "high hat." I am convinced that this college will be properly
subject to a good deal more criticism if
it ever sells its birthright as a liberal arts
college. But the practical application to
local problems of theoretical work in
political science is a somewhat different
matter. Too many students leave college
with a feeling that politics is beneath
them. (The Dean of this college a few
years ago was a candidate for Congress
largely because he felt that people who
talked and taught politics ought to have
a practical taste; whether that taste was
bitter or sweet is beside the point). Our
students should not speak of politicians
as if they always must represent some inferior sub-species of the human race.
Is the remedy to add another course or
two in government; to organize another
club? That is the easy way. The problem
lies far deeper. I wonder if there are not
some things that cannot be taught, but
only caught. Take the problem of leadership. Colleges are supposed to turn out
leaders; if they do not, commencement
speakers will lose their jobs. Leaders for
what, you will ask. That is another story.
Can you teach leadership? Where would
you put it in the curriculum?Would you
organize a department of leadership? And
have a sequential course in Leadership
101 (for ward heelers,perhaps), 201 (for
City Councilmen,perhaps), and so on to
postgraduate work from which one should
emerge fit to become at least a Governor
and possibly a President?
It is somewhat different,of course, but
not entirely different, with citizenship. If
we stick to our job honestly, quietly, sincerely, we shall find that communicating
to our students the traditional wisdom of
the race must include a good deal of public service and even public administration.
In using the words "traditional wisdom
of the race" I would be elastic,for surely
the study of politics stresses both Aristotle and John Dewey, both Plato and
Harold Laski.
A college which fails in this fundamental obligation can hardly be called an
educational institution, though it may
place more of its students in jobs than
any other. A college which does this,
both educates its students and prepares

�5
them for public life. President Hutchins
used to quote an ancient sage as closing
the discussion: "The same education and
the same habits will be found to make a
good man and a good statesman."
But does that close the discussion? I
would place preparation for public life,
which has been concerning the college of
late, on somewhat the same level as the
new philosophyregarding preparation for
the older professions of law and medicine. It was not very long ago, for example, that in most law schools the instruction was carried on entirely by lectures; discussions and moot courts were
unknown. In medical schools,to be sure,
clinics supplemented lectures, but bedside instruction was far from popular or
general. Our own medical school has
always had a remarkably enlightened view
of what it expects from its entrants, and
the Stateof New York through the Court
of Appeals, which determines at least in
part the entrance requirements for the
law schools of this state, has taken an
even more liberal view of preparation for
the study of the law, since it requires no
one subject. This is in effect an admission that the law student's future field is
universal. No one can tell in advance
what segment of knowledge may suddenly
be called upon to bolster a case which is
apparently of narrow interest.
Not different is education for citizenship, which I submit is the supreme responsibility of the college of today—if
we envisage citizenship in its broadest
aspect, one not bounded by national frontiers. All courses in ethics and logic,
sociology, history, economics,social psychology, as well as political science,help
prepare the student for future political
duties. Our concern for the fulfillment
of these duties is not in contradiction to
an earlier remark in these pages about
the importance of concentrating on the
traditional wisdom of the race. Oneis an
application of the other, superimposed
upon it. They cannot exist separately.
The most fundamental assumption on
which we have been building for the
future is that effective citizenship in a
democracy must involve active participation in the operation of government. Some
of our students have already been taking
an active part, doing what may be called
laboratory work in party activities; but
these students are too few and the opportunities so far open to them too limited.
Somesuggestions for projects along this
line, if we have the personnel to oversee
them, might consist of the following:
(a) A certain number of hours of actual
party work in October.After choosing the
party with which he wishes to work, the
student might be turned over to a local
party official who is willing to use him
as assistant; this is not to be "made"
work but genuine party activity.
(b) As a second project in his training in
practical politics, the student might be required to attend and report on a certain
number of campaign meetings or political rallies; in his written reports on
these, he would evaluate the campaign
arguments and the public's apparent reaction to them. Through his attendance
at these rallies (though it is probably
true that they are steadily losing their
importance, owing to the radio and parking difficulties) the student would have

,

opportunities

not only to study campaign

personalities but, much more important,
to recognize and analyze various types of
political appeals and propaganda.
(c) A third series of projects might
bring the student into contact with civic
organizations which have definite and
non-partisan programs,such as the League
of Women Voters, or, in a larger field,
the Council of World Affairs.
(d) A fourth project might introduce the
student to the manifold activities carried
on by the social welfare agencies, where
students not professionally trained can be
useful, though in a minor capacity.
(e) The fifth project is by far the most
important and challenging. The Stateof
New York has established about a dozen
"interneships" at Albany for the study
of and part-time participation in various
of the Statebureaus and offices,paying a
highly-selected group of college graduates
from both in and outside the Statesomething more than a living wage.We think
the time has come to see if this cannot be
duplicated locally. The GraduateSchool
of Arts and Sciencesstands ready to approve a certain amount of credit toward
the M.A. degree for constructive,worthwhile work in a city or county office
which would supplement classroom activity, the result being a thesis which might
be a unique combination of the theoretical and practical. This will of course
mean some appropriation from the city
Dr county or from some public-minded
organization or individual; the official
concerned will have to be convinced that
the interne selected will be worth it, for
it can hardly be called a charity. These
internes on the completion of the subsidy
would be encouraged if not expected to
apply for a position in public administration; a city managership should not be
beyond their reach; and so the level of
public life would be raised. The University intends to offer more courses conducted in the late afternoon and evening
for city employees who wish to improve
themselves.
Here the services of an advisory committee consisting of various officials occupying key positions in city and county
government are at our command. Their
interest and suggestions, as well as those
of Lieutenant-GovernorMoore and other
Stateofficers,will be of great value.
Surely the time has come for greater
cooperation between town and gown. If
this were a municipal university it would
have come about long ago; yet we are a
municipal institution in all but support.
For our record of many years of cooperation with civic agencies is an honorable
and mutually productive one. The high
schools are used by the Department of
Education, the social agencies by the
Schoolof Social Work, the hospitals by
the Medical,Dental, and Nursing Schools,
the Art School by the Department of
Art; the two public libraries were indispensable when the Library ScienceCourse
was active. If a university ■with our tradition of free and honest inquiry should
offer its services for a study of such a
complicated subject as "suburbanites",
or, (with more misgivings) for the even
more difficult subject of the St. Lawrence
seaway,one would think that the disinterestedness of such an offer would be
apparent.

The College stands ready to prepare a
manual of city and county government

which has

been done here (and
rarely elsewhere) in an accurate, scholarly
and yet interesting manner. An outline
of what we have in mind, covering a
book of about 175 pages, has been prepared and it should not be difficult to
financeit.
Will the next few years see a redefinition of liberal education along the
lines of what has come to be known as
general education?Itis quitepossible; but
I for one am not satisfiedwith any definition of general education that I have
seen. If liberal education is not general
education,what is it? The rest is mechanical detail. What most people have in
mind as general education can best be
centered by us, with our limited resources,
on upperclass work rather than the freshman and sophomore years. There can be
in those years more satisfactory use of
interdepartmental resources, because of
the greater maturity of the students concerned. One of the academic lessons of
the recent war was that with good will
departmentalism can be made to turn up
its toes and die. In place of these artificial structures there were established during the war what were known as area
and language schools. That is to say,the
colleges brought to bear upon the interpretation of a given culture such as the
Japanese any person and any information
that were relevant, whether they had to
do with economics or dating statues of
Buddha or identifying volcanic ash or
memorizing verbs.
What we shall work on is simply the
amplification and improvement of this
program. In place of dividingone of the
areas under consideration the North
Atlantic community, the Slavic and eastern European area, or the Far Eastern and
SoutheasternAsia territory among a
dozen perhaps hostile departments, we
ought to be able to bring to bear upon
the interpretation of the area selected
whatever specialties, whatever disciplines
illumine the problem.
Other topics beside the three just mentioned will occur to you: the interpretation of scientificmethod and the application of science in social terms, the history
of representative government, the problem of personal relationships; and others.
All this will not be easy;vested interests
will seem to oppose or complicate the
project; but surely it is more important
for American undergraduates to understand thoroughly the Russian problem
than it is to perpetuate a scholarly hierarchy. One sadly reflects,however, that
no priesthood is ever reformed by its
members. Our experience with interdepartmental courses has not had great success; and it leads one to the conclusion
that such success as we havehad was due
to a friendly desire to see an experiment
through on the part of three or four men
who were, too, good friends.

Sanebut courageous experimentation is
the law of educational progress.This law
has been the guiding light of the College
of Arts and Sciencesperhaps since its
foundationnearly forty yearsago. Almost
from the beginning the college was considered by the educational world as well
as by Buffaloniansas not "just another
college" but to be what is generally
termed a progressive institution.

�6
I do not however like that appellation,
because it implies that progress is only
achieved by the radically-minded colleges.
All education obviously is progressive.
The willingness,even the eagerness,
of the
college to try experiments is one of the
salaries,
why,
despite
low
it has
reasons
never been too difficult to recruit able
young leathers. Academic freedom is the
other chiefreason. Most of the early facultyfelt that here was a noteworthyopportunity to break away with tradition if the
new way seemed more promising. Ivycovered walls are more conspicuous than
moss-covered curricula. If a considerable
decline throughout the country in the
number of college students should occur,
colleges with nothing but traditions to
offer will be the first to suffer.
A considerable number of elective subjects was allowed in the curriculum from
the beginning and a conscientious effort
was early made to ease the transition
from school to college. The catologue
for 1918 says: "The lack of uniformity in
college entrance requirements has been
such an annoyance to secondary schools
that the University of Buffalo, wishing
to do its share in reducing the confusion
to a minimum, places few restrictions on
the nature of work in each subject." Not
only did the restrictions placed on each
subject become fewer, but the electives
accepted for entrance became more numerous, with increasing emphasis on the
rank in the school class held by the candidate for entrance, rather than standardized subject matter.
The college could not, however,be too
unorthodox or it would have had no
standing with those whose recognition
was essential. The fact remains that it
was a new college, especially if it had
freedom from state or church control,
which generally has been the pace-maker
in the development of the liberal arts
curriculum. Andrew D. White, in Cornell's first Announcement, dated 1867,
pointed the way to Gilman, Harper, and
Eliot; Grinnell College in lowa, founded
the same yearas Buffalo,made a similarly
liberalizing contribution to a flexible curriculum. Long before 1920 colleges were
liberal. Jefferson at the University of
Virginia called for eight "schools" which
would comprehend the traditional subjects
and also make room for the newer scientific interests and provide for training in
several professions. There seems to be
here the germof Hutchins' reorganization
of the University of Chicago. Not at
Union, in 1928, emphasized for the first
time the value of modern languages.
More revolutionary was the upset at the
University of Vermont 125 years ago
under James Marsh. He proceeded on
what seems the reasonable assumption
(which has yet to gain universal acceptance) that everystudent must have something interesting and socially significant
to do. Four departments, corresponding
roughly to the usual divisional organization of today's college, were erected. A
student would work in not more than
two; no limit was placed on the number
of courses or the time to be spent in
finishing them. Not Eliot but Wayland
at Brown, a hundred years ago, introduced the elective system, under faculty
guidance; the student need not spend four
years in college if he was able to finish
in shorter time.
These and many other instances that

could be lifted from the pagesof educational history are mentioned for the sake
of the record; we cannot imply that our
college was a pioneer from the start in
every experiment, merely that it profitted
by the findings of others. It had faith,
courage, and confidence;no endowment,
no experience. Vet, only about fifteen
years after it had graduated its first class,
the National Society for the Study of
Education ranked it first, in a tie with
the University of Chicago, for the number and importance of the experiments it
had already instituted. It has had, and
always will have, the sense to drop if
necessary, an experiment when it has been
given a fair trial; and that has happened
more than once; but the debt in which it
has placed scores of other institutions
has been acknowledged many times, particularly upon the report of its Curriculum Committeeof 1946,which reaffirmed
its faith in the principle of free election.
And that was at a time when Harvard
was repudiating its child.
The post-war years naturally saw innumerable efforts at re-appraising the
college curriculum. Were some of them,
and the resulting changes, made merely
for the sake of change, for the sake of
reporting to the outside world that we
are up and doing, with a heart for any
fate? Were some of them made because
the war which has changed all things
must inevitably have changed all educational concepts as well? Were some of
them made because (I whisper this) Harvard said it first and most? Were some
of them made because the thousands of
returning veterans made it difficult, even
impossible in many cases, to teach in the
old way? Did they not demand that
faculties begin to treat them, and other
students as well, as if they were adults?
Indeed it was difficult for us to reconcile the demands of mass production with
our insistence on individuality and academic freedom of not only teacher but
taught. It is going to be difficult in the
future, simply because of economic pressures. Liberal education costs vast sums
in proportion to those who take it. But
the privately supported college has a duty
which is almost peculiar to itself. It is
historical fact that beginning with the
famousMorrill act of 1862 publicly supported education has shown steadily less
and less concern for liberal education.
Federal and state money has gone more
and more to vocational training. Publicly
supported institutions have more and
more stressed individual vocational profit
through education;it is the so-called private institutions which have emphasized
public service though not at the expense
of the dignity of the individual. Cultural
enrichment is clearly not a federal interest. We should no doubt be unreasonable
if we expect it. In some state universities
the arts college has become largely a service station for the professional and semiprofessional schools rather than an integral unit with a significant function of its
own.

Our main task in the years that lie
ahead is to persuade the community that
a quality college serves it best. We need
not be unduly pessimistic over the future
of a liberal arts college even in a highly

community like Buffalo. If
all the prophets of educational disaster
were laid end to end (which, incidentally,
might not be a bad idea) they would
reach two thousand miles or so, from
east to west. If my rough calculations
are correct, they would probably end up
in the desert or in the wilderness. If so,
that is significant; for the desert is arid
and the wilderness barren.
No, we must meet the perplexities
and uncertainties of the future with imagination and boldness. We must make
every leading industry, every cultural
agency, as well as the inner lives of
thousands yet untouched,so conscious of
the necessity of a college like this, or
better, that they will wonder how they
ever got along without it. It will be
said by way of criticism that this is not
one college, but so divided into specialized interests that it is fourteencolleges.
In that there is all too much truth.
I know of only one way to unify the
curriculum —the development of a creative spirit. Methods differ widely, but
that is your best measuring stick, the
common ideal which unites the widely
differing disciplines. It is a very difficult
thing, or there would not be so little of
it in the world. As Whitehead has remarked, it is worth the entire time of a
large faculty if one member of a graduating class credits it with qualifying him for
a creative life. A friend of mine in a
graduate school was accosted by a student
who objected to his new discipline as
contrasted with his previous freedom in
tutorial work. "If you people really cared
for literature," was the complaint, "you
would rather have me submit a drama of
some poetic merit than a thesis based on
sawdust." "You're quite right," was the
prompt reply, "I'd much rather give you
a degree on a poetic drama than wrestle
with the thesis you are likely to write.
Let's see the drama." "Well," said the
student,"that was by way of illustration.
I have never written a drama."
But it was a good illustration. If great
epic dramas have not yet been written
by our students,the accomplishments that
many of them can show at the end of
their years with us prove that here young
scholars have resolved to study in order
to live. Biologist meets historian in the
excitement of creating something that
will create something else. Then the
unity of all knowlege begins to be faintly realized. They will be one in shouting
to the world their ardent faith and their
indefinable longing and their youthful
enthusiasm across befuddledaudiences of
would-be educators like us their elders.
And when, this lively unity being over,
they scatter; when the slim thread that
binds them is severed;when the world
stretches more nearly over them and they
move out of the rhythm of their common
effort into their own lonely tempos, their
alma mater will still be young, still hopeful and courageous,still trying to pass
on her subtle and potent influence to
the students of fifty years hence.

Education For
Scholarship and Research

by Julius W. Pratt
Dean of the Graduate School of Arts &amp; Sciences

Organized graduate work began at the
University of Buffalo in 1923, when
ChancellorCapen appointed a Committee
on Graduate Study and Degrees. The
chairman of the Committeewas the late
Edward J. Moore of the Physics Department. Its members were selected from the
faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences and the pre-clinical departments of
the Schoolof Medicine. The Committee
supervised all work leading to the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of
Philosophy until the creation of the
GraduateSchoolof Arts and Sciencesin
1939- Dr. Moore, who had headed the
"Graduate Committee" as it was called,
then became the first Dean of the new
GraduateSchool and served as such until
his retirement in 1946.The faculty of the
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences
consisted at the beginning of members of
professorial rank of those departments
offering work leading to the M.A. and
Ph.D. degrees. These departments were
found in the College of Arts and Sciences
and in the basic science departments in
the Schoolof Medicine.
In the meantime other divisions of the
University were conducting graduate
work leading to different degrees. This
was true of the Schools of Pharmacy,
Business Administration, Social Work,
Education,Nursing, and Engineering. The
principal development of the last few
years has been the affiliation, on their
own initiative, of the majority of these
divisions,for purposes of graduate work,
with the GraduateSchool of Arts and
Sciences.Thus Pharmacy and Business
Administration joined in 1948—the latter
for the Ph.D. degree but not for that of
Master of Business Administration; Engineering in 1949, and Nursing in 1951.
The degrees of Master of Science in
Pharmacy, in Engineering, and in Nursing are today all granted through the
GraduateSchoolof Arts and Sciences.
The trend, both here and elsewhere,
seems to be in the direction of a single
agencyto administer all graduate work.
The Schools of Education and Social

Work

at present

administer their own

graduate degrees, as does the Schoolof

Business Administration with the M.B.A.

degree. It seems not improbable that at
some time within "the next half-century"
they too will find it desirable to associate

themselves with the other divisions

now

offering their degrees through the Grad-

which
uate Schoolof Arts and Sciences,
may then become simply the Graduate
Schoolof the University of Buffalo.
Whether or not such further accretion
takes place, there is already in progress
a process of geographical integration
which can hardly fail to have a stimulating effect on graduate research and graduate teaching. It has been a subject of
regret to many in the past that the basic
medical sciences have been physically
separated so far from related fields on
the campus that fruitful contacts have
been difficult. Soon all this will be
changed. When the Schoolsof Medicine
and Dentistry occupy their new building
on the campus, the scholars of the predinical medical sciences—anatomy, bacteriology, biochemistry, physiology, and
the others—will be brought into daily
contact with their colleagues in biology,
chemistry, physics, and psychology. There
should result a cross-fertilizationof ideas
beneficialto all concerned.
By the same reasoning, the Graduate
School should be one of the principal
gainers from the proposed establishment
of a Faculty Club. At present, faculty
members meet for lunch or for informal
conferenceswith difficulty and under
circumstances scarcely conducive to the
ready exchange of ideas. A Faculty Club,
with attractive luncheon facilities and
comfortable lounge, should do much not
only to improve faculty morale and create
a better esprit de corps, but also to provide mutual stimulation in both research
and teaching. It might also do something
toward correcting a tendency to overspecialization in graduate instruction of
which some members of our staff have
complained.
The principal functions of a graduate
school are to train scholars and to conduct research. The two, of course, are (or
should be) inseparable. The scholar gets
his training through conducting supervised research or assisting in the research
of his seniors. In a highly industrialized

community like the Niagara Frontier,
both research and the training of scholars
will inevitably lean toward science and
engineering. Our GraduateSchool will
continue to provide, as it has provided
in the past, trained chemists and physicists for posts in area industry. Although
our School of Engineering is still well
within its first decade of life, it has already developed a large clientele of graduate students among the employees of
local industries—young men whose employers are often willing to bear part of
their tuition because of the increased usefulness that will result from graduate
training. Graduate work in engineering
gains new importance today because of
current trends in undergraduate engineering education. As the undergraduate engineering curriculum devotes more time

to the humanities and social sciences and
less to engineering subjects,specialization
at the graduate level becomes more and
more necessary.
But the GraduateSchool'sopportunities
for usefulnessto Frontier industryare not
confinedto its departments of science and
engineering. The great corporation has
need of numerous trained experts of
other kinds—economists,
statisticians,psychologists, specialists in labor relations
and personnel management, to mention
only a few. A corporation here and there
may even wish a person with historical
training to write its history. All these
varieties of specialists with graduate
training the University of Buffalo is competent to provide.

The GraduateSchoolis also prepared,
in the past, to be of use to industry
through its research programs. Research,
whether "bask" or "applied," is the lifeblood of industrial progress.Both kinds
of research go on in our science departments, with a leaning toward "applied"
research apparent in graduate work in
as

engineering.
Emphasis has been placed upon the
possible services of the Graduate School
to industry because there seems good

reason

the Niagara Frontier "in the next halfcentury." But the Graduate Schoolof Arts

and Sciencesis equipped to be useful in
of community life other
than the industrial.
With a growing population and an approaching "bulge" in high school enrollment, there will soon be an increased demand for high school teachers. Many of
these, as in the past, will take their advanced training in the subject-matter
fields as candidates for the M.A. degree.
Other young scholars will continue for
the Ph.D. degree, here or elsewhere,and
enter the ranks of college and universityteachers. The training in educational objectives and methods required of public
high school teachers is at present offered
by the Schoolof Education. For prospective college teachers no such program is
required, but many are of the opinion
that an exposure to some of the problems
of teaching and administration in higher
education would be profitable to graduate
students planning to enter that field. Such
a need could probably best be met by the
joint efforts of the GraduateSchool and
the Schoolof Education.
Graduatework in nursing appears certain to undergo expansion in the next few
years. Changing patterns in nursing practice, the growing number of students in
undergraduate nursing programs,and the
increasing number of responsible positions requiring more than undergraduate
preparation—all point toward a demand
for more nurses with graduate degrees.
Suth persons will find employment in
teaching, supervision, and administration.
Graduate programs in the clinical specialties may also be developed to meet
the needs of nurses who wish to qualify
in those fields. The recent removal of the
Schoolof Nursing from Townsend Hall
to the campus has already produced useful iontaits between staff and students in
nursing and those in related fields.
The 1)epartment of Psychology will
continue its recently inaugurated program
of turning out well trained clinical psychologists with M.A. or Ph.D. degrees.
many aspects

The department hopes also to extend and
enlarge the community services provided
by the Psychological Clinic and the Vocational Counseling Center. A future
possibility that should not be overlooked
might be the merging of certain aspects
of the work of the departments or schools
of Psychology, Psychiatry, Sociology, Education, Government,Industrial Relations,
Law, and Engineering in a program of
teaching and research in Human Relations.
Other useful interdepartmental programs may also be envisaged. An undergraduate program in American Studies,
involving principally the Departments of
English, History and Government,and
Philosophy has just been inaugurated.
With some additions to staff and library
resources, this program could readily be
extended upward into the graduate area.
An interdepartmental graduate program
in Public Administration is now under
consideration. Considerablethought has
also been given to various possible area
programs and to a program in international relations. Each of these would involve numerous departments—Economics,
Geology and Geography, History and
Government,Sociology and Anthropology,
the language departments, etc. and
while they have been thought of primarily in undergraduate terms, they are
obviously susceptible of upward extension.
Any appreciable increase in the present
graduate student body, and in particular
any expansion of graduate programs
leading to the Ph.D. degree, will entail
increases in staff and in laboratory and
library facilities.The most pressing needs
of the science departments will be met
when the new Medical-Dental Building is
finished and equipped and a hoped-for
Physics Building is added. But the humanities and social sciences will still be
badly in need of seminar rooms with
contiguous library and officespace. Restoration of the seminar rooms in Lockwood

designated as a center for graduate in-

struction and research in the humanities
and social science departments. More
pressing, however, is the need for expanded staffs and more generous library
funds. Recent economies, which have
necessitated staff reductions in many departments, have forced some curtailment
of graduate work. Little that is new can
be undertaken until serious deficienciesin
staff can be remedied.
That graduate work is not self-sustaining is a fact ail-too familiar to university
administrators. The tuition collected from
graduate students pays but a small portion
of the costs of instruction. If graduate
work is to be kept on a respectable plane,
therefore,it must be subsidized. This can
be done in various ways. First, a graduate school may be so richly endowed as
to have no need to look elsewhere for
funds.This is obviously not the case with
us, nor, miracles excluded,is it likely to
be "in the next half-century." Second,a
large undergraduate student body may
bring in enough tuition to meet the costs
of both undergraduate and graduate instruction. Since 1945 this situation has
for the most part prevailed at the University of Buffalo. The undergraduate enrollment is now declining, however, and
prospects for the next few years are not
cheering. Third, gifts from alumni and
friends,if earmarked for GraduateSchool
use or even if they go to general funds,
are useful even in small amounts. Fourth,
for special projects it is sometimes possible to secure grants from the foundations (such as the Ford Foundation,
which is now much in the public eye).
Suchgrants are most apt to result from
the initiative of individual scholars or
small associated groups, who can offer
appealing projects in research or in experimental teaching. Fifth, industries of
the area, which benefitfrom the research
or the professional training afforded by
the Graduate School, may come to feel
that an investment,in the form of an annual contribution or otherwise,in graduate education will pay dividends. A full
realization of the non-self-sustainingcharacter of graduate instruction would contribute to the growth of such an attitude
on the part of industry.
Finally, it should never be forgotten
that our graduate work will be judgedby
its quality, not its quantity. Large numbers of graduate students are desired only
(1) if they are superior people capable of
independent scholarship and (2) if our
facilities in staff and equipment are adequate to provide them with training of
the best kind. Our objective should be
the cultivation in our graduate students
of the qualities of creative imagination,
initiative, resourcefulness,responsibility,
and cultural breadth. To that end it is
essential that our faculty themselves possess these qualities and that they be so
far relieved of other duties as to permit
them to call forth these qualities in their
graduate students.

The Outlook For the
School of Business Administration

by Harold M. Somers
Dean of the School of Business Administration

In these days of constant crisis it may
be presumptuous to plan very far ahead.
Yet, failure to do long range planning
results in either wasted motion or just
plain drifting. We cannot afford to waste
and we have no intention of drifting.
No matter how uncertain, the future
always holds the opportunity to grow, to
correct, to improve and to explore. This
makes ours a simpleproposition. We plan
to achieve these four basic objectives.
Furthermore,we are making our plans as
definite as possible so that we may have
real programs and actual schedules to
follow. Only by such means can we determine our rate of progress.This does
not mean we do not expect a change; in
fact, the readiness to change must be the
very essence of our strategy.
We face many difficult problems, but
with determination on the part of our
faculty, our alumni and the business
community, we will solve them. That we
can count on the support of each of these
groups is shown by the efforts and accomplishments of the past year.
During 1951 the University expanded
its relationships with the community in a
number of ways. Through the Niagara
Frontier Convocation,the organization of
in-plant training programs for several of
Buffalo'slargest industries,and the establishment of a Corporation Liaison Office,
it brought its faculty and its facilities into close contact with a growing number
of people in all walks of life. The School
of Business Administration has taken an
active part in these developments and
will help spread the influenceof the University even further than it has extended
in the past.
Buffalo is noted not only as one of this
country's largest industrial centers but as
a center of baste industry. It has steel
and chemical plants, automobile and aircraft plants. This is an advantage upon
which your Schoolcan and must capitalize. There is a growing trend in industry
to send potential and rising executives to
university Schools of Business Administration for further trainingand development. Your School is strengthening its
executive training program in terms of
faculty and courses. It plans to expand
its Industrial Relations and Quality Control Conferences
into a series of full scale
institutes. As dormitory facilities become
available, these will be further enlarged

into Management Training sessions of
several weeks or months duration. Your
School is in the center of one of the
largest markets for such programs. The
three-day conferenceit is planning in
April should have a major impact on the
business community.
In both European and Asiatic countries
there are many students and many business men who are eager to have a first
hand knowledge of American production
methods. At the present time several foreign governments, in cooperation with
our government, are already taking definite steps to encourage study in this
country. What better location could they
select for such study than a University located in the heart of Buffalo. Your School
is planning to work out a cooperative arrangement with industry so that these
people can study theory under a superior
faculty and observe industrial practices in
the many shops and factoriesnearby.
We are also going to increase the
number of graduate courses in each of
our several business fields, so that we can
attract these graduate students in ever
growing numbers. We hope to have an
ever larger number of qualified candidates
for the degrees of Master of Business Administration and Doctor of Philosophy.
Those in commerce and industry have
also come to realize that knowledge of
human relations is as essential as it is
elusive. Today, throughout the nation,
the demand for such knowledge is becoming almost a stampede. We must try
to meet this demand but we must not

permit ourselves to yield to the temptation to cash in on "fad courses". In order
to perform a truly educational service we

research in the human relations area. We have already attracted
faculty who have been interested in this
area for many years and we must now
provide the resources for them to continue their interest.
The field of Statisticsis still relativelynew and its possibilities have been virtually untapped. With the development
and expanded use of electronic computers,
analysis of business variables will be possible in combinations that are now only
a dream. At present these computers and
electronic devices are being developed
largely by the scientificschools and their
application to business problems has
hardlybeen started. Sometimeduring the
next fifty years we plan to acquire such
electronic devices so that our faculty can
explore the vast unknown reaches of
business statistics.
Your Schoolhas an abundance of opportunities to grow, to correct, to improve and to explore. In order to take
advantage of these opportunities we need
dormitory facilities, visual aids and other
teaching equipment, funds for the maintenance of a superior faculty and for
research,and soon more adequate class
room and officespace.
Under the inspiring leadership that the
University of Buffalo has had and will
continue to have, the Schoolof Business
Administration looks forward with confidenceto the next fifty years.

Dentistry Looks Forward
To Campus Associations

J. Gauchat

Dean of the School of

The Schoolof Dentistry was organized
in 1892 as the fourth division of the
University of Buffalo. Since its establishment approximately 2500 degrees
have been conferred on its graduates.
In the year 1896 the present Dental
School building was erected and if
everything proceeds according to the
contractor's schedule the new MedicalDental building will be ready for occupancy in the fall of 1953. This will usher
in a new chapter in the progressof our
University. There is an old saying,
"Clothes do not make the man." This is
no doubt true; categorically speaking, it
is also a fact that buildings do not make
a University. Faculties whose teaching
abilities are of the highest quality, whose
vision, enthusiam,devotion and understanding are clearly apparent, are of

This new concept of undergraduate denThe entire structure is designed to place

taking anticipated future developments
into consideration. The facilities for

are of the most advanced types. The
building is planned and equipped to
accommodate eighty students in each entering freshmenclass. There are provisions for postgraduate departments and
research,for which proper facilities were
lacking in the Goodrich Street building.
Each department of instruction has been
carefully planned and strategically located
to improve student training. The school
contains approximately 500,000 square
feet of floor space devoted to actual
teaching purposes, which is a great in-

crease

over the space available in the
present school. The administrative offices are well located and two auditoriums with seating capacity for 250 persons
and 560 persons respectively are part of
the building and are very advantageous

as they will probably also be available

for scientificmeetings.
The library with a capacity for from
110,000 to 120,000 books,together with
an excellent reading room, several study

Dental schools. This will be of far reaching benefitto both students and alumni.
Due to lack of space, a detailed
description of all the teaching facilities
cannot be gone into here, but you may
be sure that the students who will attend
our dental school will have facilities
which the faculty and alumni have been
looking forward to for quite a number of
years.

The future of dental education in the
is difficult to predict,
well nigh impossible. Postgraduate education and research are becoming more
and more important as time moves on.
They are vital now and will become even
more so. The faculty of the School of
Dentistry, ChancellorMcConnelland the
Council of the University are well aware
of this and advancement along these lines
will be one of the University's chief
objectives.

School

of Education's

Programs To Be Expanded

by Leslie
Dean

The expectation that a Dean should
dream about the future of a professional
school challenges one's imagination. But
dreams and imagination are compounded
of experience. A glance at the experience
of the Schoolof Education is thereforein
point.

The University has a long and distinguished record of offering professional
preparation for educational services dating from 1895. The tradition has been
carried on by various divisions, the College of Arts and Sciences,the Evening
Sessionand, beginning in 1931, by the
Schoolof Education.
When the Schoolwas established,there
were various traditional patterns of organization of professional schools for

teachers and administrators. The organization adopted struck a new note in the
inauguration of a truly University division for professional preparation for
teaching and administration. By closely
relating its efforts to those of other divisions of the University, the new School
had the advantage of the rich resources
of the other older facultieswhile giving
a professional direction needed by the developingfield of Education.
We look forward to a strengthening of
the areas of service of the Schoolby continuing close relations with the other divisions. With the Medical and Dental
Schoolson the Campus, the opportunities
for cooperation with these divisions for
teaching and research in the fields of human growth and development are unlimited.
The downward extension of school
systems to include nursery education on a
publicly supported basis will continue.
The Schoolof Education anticipated this
developmentwhen it established the Laboratory for the Study of Young Children
and later its Laboratory courses in the
care of young children.
As more young women take advantage
of a college education,there will be a
need for reviewing the academic curriculum to includes courses in marriage and
child development.
The second half of the "Century of the
Child" should reveal some of the more
complex factors affecting the normal
growth and developmentof young children

O. Cummings
of the School of Education

and should offer suggested methods of
guidance as well as scientifictechniques
to deal with behavior patterns of
children.
Education for parenthood and family
living, including sex education and preparation for marriage, will become more
fully accepted as a natural part of all
school and college education. On the
campus, there will be many more opportunities than at present for students in all
fields of study to understand the principles of human growth and learning, the
importance of the early yearsof life and
the functions of good parents and home
life in a democratic society.
The Niagara Frontier with its diversified industries is one of the greatest users
of trained man power in the world. The
vocational education on the secondaryschool level, and other area vocational
schools, which begin the education of
workers require professionally prepared
teachers and administrators. These, the
School of Education has been preparing
in cooperation with the Buffalo office of
the State Department of Education, Division of Vocational Education.
As programs of Vocational Education
develop in this great industrial area, the
opportunity for continued pioneer efforts
in vocational education are unlimited. We
look forward to providing enriched opportunities in this vital area of Education.
The coming yearswill undoubtedlysee
considerable expansion of guidance services, with proportionate increases in
numbers of students seeking professional
preparation for careers in guidance.
At present, many secondary schools
have made a beginning in the development of guidance programs. It is anticipated that this trend will continue,resulting in the initiation of programs
where none exist and expansion of programs already under way.
Two very new and related trends are
seen in the extension of guidance services
in two directions from the secondary
school in the one case to the elementary
school and, in the other, to the out-ofschool population. The introduction of
professional guidance services into elementary schools is based on the belief
that successfuland satisfying living in
adolescence and adulthood are a function

of the nature and quality of childhood experiences. The extension of guidance services in the other direction—for those no
longer in school—is a recognition of the
continuity throughout life of vocational,
educational,social, and personal development and life adjustment.
Offering in 1932 beginning preparation
for teaching in a one year concentrated
program closely related to actual class
room experiences in supervised student
teaching—the ProfessionalUnit, in Education, anticipated recent developments
in the preparation of teachers. The professional program for preparation in
Health, Physical Education and Recreation which follows the same plan points
the way to further improvement in this
developing field. The preparation of
promising young men and women for
leadership posts in educational administration in programs combining preparation for teaching and administration is a
next step indicated by our plan. It has
in the past three yearsmade possible an
emergencyprogram for the preparation
of college graduates as elementary school
teachers.
With higher standards for teachers and
administrators coupled with higher salaries the present pressure of candidates
for the Masters' and Doctors' degrees
will continue. Changes in Education are
occurring making an emphasis upon
Technical Institutes, Area Schoolsand
Community Colleges in Western New
York. The degree procedures of the
Schoolare such as challenge the best material to go forward with advanced study
for the high type of educational leadership the coming yearswill need.
Space does not permit showing howeach of the various services in which the
school is engaged may be expected to develop—teaching of the deaf in cooperation with St. Mary's Schoolfor the Deaf
—teaching of Art with the Albright Art
School—theprograms for leaders in Adult
Education,for School Psychologists, for
Attendance Workers.
All of the elements in a future school
cannot be forecastbecause new days call
for new ways. What can confidently be
expected is the addition of services to
meet new needs. Continuing flexibility

Engineering Dean's Speech
June 5, 2001

—

by Paul E. Mohn
Dean of the School of Engineering

Excerpts from an address by the Dean
of the School of Engineering. June 5,
2001, delivered at the Fiftieth Anniversary meeting of the class of '51.

Classof '51, Alumni and friends! You
are gathered to celebrate a half century
of service to the engineering profession
on the part of the class of '51.

You will recall student days during
the construction of the EngineeringBuilding expected to see the signs of growth
on the Campus, which accompanied the
growth experienced by the University of
Buffalo during the last half of the Twentieth Century. You have not been wrong.
There have been changes
As I skim over some of the developments of the past fifty years,some of you
will not agree with my choice of the
highlights. You, as loyal alumni, will
feel that 1 am omitting others equally
important. You have the right to defend
your own choices at every possible occasion.
Our meeting place is an example. The
Technology" Club was erected with the
splendid enthusiasm of all of the engineering and scientificsocieties of the area
as a memorial to members who gave their
lives in the service of their country. It
justly chose the Schoolof Engineering as
the proper center of the orbit of engineering and scientific activities of the
area.
This building serves as a suitable place
for society meetings, seminars and institutes. It contains the secretarial offices
of the member societies,has facilities for
all printing, broadcasting and telenews
notices to members. It contains recreation and reading rooms, as well as accommodations for permanent and transient
guests of the engineers, scientists and
industries of the area. It also houses the
School of Engineering library. The library, begun in your student days with
the aid of member societies,has grown
and kept pace with the expanding needs
of our industrial community. This technical library now has adequate, functional
and expandable space, and is equipped
with audible readers,visual projectors,
and every modern facility to render maximum service to the technical community.
It is truly the center of technological activities of Western New York.

..

In reviewing the developments of the
half century, I have concluded that the
Fund Drive of 1952, shortly after your
graduation, set a pattern which had its
impact on several aspects of the development of your School
whatever the
origin, the present method of financing
the Schooland the University has evolved.
Let me review the method for you.
In your undergraduate days the major
income of the University depended on
student tuition fees. The Engineering
School always operated at a deficit. No
student could claim to have paid his own
way. You Alumni have done much to
correct that situation by your own activities. The Alumni Loyalty Fund, begun
more than 60 years ago, has evolved into
a real source of operating income for the
University. The alumni of the School,
more than 7000 now, have swelled their
annual contributions as their realization
of the value of their own University education increased. With a growing feeling
of the necessity to insist on continuing
the usefulnessof their Schoolfor others,
Engineering Alumni have steadily increased their annual giving. During the
past 5 years the averageof the contributions of living alumni has exceeded 1%
of their annual grossincome,and 98.05%
of the alumni of the School have contributed annually to the Alumni Loyalty
Fund in a direct measure to their professional income. You, the Alumni, determine the proportion of the Loyalty
Fund which is devoted to scholarships;
the remainder is contributed toward annual operating expenses.
Similarly the old fashioneddependence
on endowment income has long proved
inadequate to provide adequate annual
operating funds. The industrial-incomecontribution has become the pattern for
the University. Each Niagara Frontier
Industry contributes annually a fraction
of a percent of its gross profits to insure
the continued benefits of the educated
personnel on which it so largely depends.
A committee consisting of the United Industries Council, the Citizens Advisory
Boards of each Division of the University
and the Treasurer,determine the amount
of the contribution each year. The School
of Engineering, and each division of the
University, participate in just measure as
they all unite to serve the community.

At the time of your graduation the
School of Engineering had just barely
embarked on a research program and its
program of graduate instruction. It was
a period of the beginning of the intense
preparation for the world struggle with
communism,which, we are all very happy
to say, has been brought to a successful
conclusion. The decade, 1950 to 1960,a
period of intensive defensepreparation,
resulted in a more widespread understanding by the Industry of the Niagara
Frontier of the mutual advantages which
could be gained by creating closer ties
with the University. As a result of this
stimulus, the research activities of the
University, and especially of the School
of Engineering, grew rapidly. As a normal part of its growth, the School expanded its field of activities into Civil
Engineering, ChemicalEngineering, Metallurgy, etc. Each of these fields contributed to the expanding instruction and research activities of the School.The principle was gradually evolved that each
faculty member spend a designated portion of his time doing research work; additional staff members who devoted their
time exclusively to research work were
secured. Now, all senior faculty members hold endowed chairs, established by
interested industries or industry groups.
The expanded research and graduate instruction of the University is centralized
and unified in the GraduateSchool. The
group of buildings built by the Niagara
Frontier Industries Research Foundation
was provided specifically to contain research laboratories. They are part of the
GraduateSchool domain. You have had
a chance today to visit these magnificent
structures and see the wide variety of activities carried on. You have seen each
room on your television screen as you
met at your class reunion in the Synthetic
Industries Conferenceroom.
Research activities in the field of engineering long ago outgrew the limited
space of the original Engineering Building. Besides,research is now a matter of
common interest on the part of all the
departments of the University through
the Graduate School and inter-departmental action is the rule rather than the
exception. I cite some examples

Law School's
Plans Are Extensive

by George N. Stevens
Dean of the Schoolof Law

In line with ChancellorMcConnell's
position that the University of Buffalo
has pledged itself to meet the broad educational needs of the community, the
Schoolof Law plans to widen its services
in the fieldof legal education.
A. The Full Time Program
We do not anticipate any increase in
the size of the day school student body
during the next half century. It is our
hope that we will continue with a constant enrollment of between 290 and 325.
Any increase in this number would, because of the size of our classrooms,
require sectionalization. Sectionalization
means increased faculty loads and requires
more full time or part time instructors.
At present, the Law Schoolhas a staff of
fourteen part time instructors and eight
resident teachers,one of whom is on
military leave, and two of whom are on
limited time schedules. In the near future, the resident staff should be increased
to nine. The use of part time teachers

will continue.
The curriculum will be under constant
study. Courseswill be added as need
dictates and time permits. The pressure
to add new courses in developing fields
of law is great. The necessity for careful
training in the basic courses and in the
basic skills and insights of the lawyer
is fundamental.We can demand only a
limited amount of time of those preparing for practice. Our problem arises out
of these pressures and these limitations.
Some schools are requiring three years
and a summer session;others are increasing the number of hours required for
graduation from the minimum of 72 to
76, 80, and up. We feel that three years
is enough to ask for a first degree in law,
but we agree with those who require
those years to be full. We have set our
graduation requirement at 84 hours, an
average of 14 hours per semester.
Many lawyers say that law school training is impractical too much theory.
What these lawyers really mean is that
many law schools have failed to give
their students training in the art or skill
of translating theory into practice. This
defect should be, and is being, corrected.
Training in memorandum and brief
writing, once limited to Law Review men,
is now given to all students. Training in
advocacy through various types of Moot
Courts is needed and experimentation in

—

such courses is opening much more
realistic possibilities. The need for training in legal drafting is fully recognized,
and instruction in this skill is included,
either in connection with individual
courses, or as a separate course, in most
progressive Jaw school curricula. While
these, and other plans, will not, and
should not, replace the apprentice system, they will help in the transition from
study to practice. Clinical training for
law students is being included in our
curriculum through the Indigent Prisoner
program, in which, with the fine cooperation of the Erie County Bar Association
and the Justices of our Supreme Court,
students are assigned to work with
lawyers appointed to defendindigent persons accused of crime. The opportunity
for further clinical training for full time
students in civil cases must be explored.
Many schools have working arrangements
with the local Legal Aid Clinic. The possibility of using law student assistance in
a Bar Sponsored Referral Plan should be
seriously considered.
With these plans in mind, we share
with you the hope that your full time
law school will continue to turn out well
prepared young lawyers.

B. A Part Time Program of Legal
Education
The time is rapidly approaching when
this law school,jf it is to serve the best
interests of this community, must seriously consider launching a part time
program of legal education. The pressure
is primarily economic. The costs of prelegal education have been increasing
rapidly and will in all probability continue to rise. Studentspresently in school
are finding it increasingly difficult to
make ends meet. More and more of them
are taking on part time jobs. And yet,
starting in September 1952, applicants
will have to present three years of prelegal education for admission to law
school,instead of the present two years.
The full time student is crushed between rising costs, requiring him to find
part time employment, and increasing
demands on his time in law school,
brought about by the growth of the law.
Two solutions are possible. One is a
greatly increased scholarship program,
providing not only for tuition but also
for subsistence. The other is a part time
programof legal education.

Part time legal education has long
been looked down upon, and all too frequently with good reason. However,
several law schools have shown that a
first rate legal education can be given in
a part time program.
We havein mind at present a part time
daytime law school, not an evening division. The part time students would take
the same courses in the same classes with
the same instructors as the full time students. The only differencewould be that
the semester loads of the part time students would be substantiallyreduced and
their work would be extended over a
longer period of time. The program will
not be easy to set up, but it may be the
only practical solution to a serious economic problem.
C. Continuing Legal Education
In the three years devoted to a full
time legal education it is impossible today for any law student to work in more
than a few of the many fields of law.
There is a tendency, and a danger, to
spread legal education too thin in an
effort to cover both the old and the new
in the law. I feel that it is sounder policy
to concentrate on the fundamentalcourses,
both old and new, and leave to post graduate education the training in the rest.
Situatedas we are in a great metropolitan center, the need for such training is
great. Consequently, we have an equally
great opportunity to provide it. The Law
School should develop both continuing
legal education training and graduate
law work leading to Master of Laws degree. Specialized courses and programs
in such fields as Taxation, Estate Planning, Corporate Finance and Trade Regulation, practical courses in Federal Jurisdiction, Creditor's Rights, Bankruptcy,
Admiralty and Patents would be welcomed by practitioners, not only graduates of our law school, but of all law
schools.
In addition to regular course work, the
Law School plans to run conferences
from time to time on special problems
of peculiar interest to the legal profession, as well as to continue the annual
conferenceon legal problems of local
government, inaugurated this year.

Medicine's New Facilities
Will Widen Programs

by Stockton Kimball
Dean of the Schoolof Medicine

The new Medical-Dental School now
under construction on the Campus of the
University should be ready to receive the
entering class in the fall of 1953 and
the Sophomore class which will have entered in the fall of 1952. This new building opens the way for a new era in
medical education in Buffalo.
The present medical school buiding was
constructed sixty yearsago. During this
period of over half a century, startling
advances in medical education and medical knowledge have been made. Medical
education has expanded from a two-year
didactic course to a four-year course following four years of college education
and followed by one year of internship
and often three to five years of further
residency training.

To

a great extent in

the medical

course

today lectures have been replaced by laboratory work and by ward and outpatient clinical clerkships. Organization
and conduct of this far more individual
type of instruction has lead to development of full time clinical as well as
basic science,or "preclinical", departments. Voluntary and part time teachers
provide the major portion of the teaching personnel and background of experience, especially in the clinical departments. The fundamentalresearch from
which advances in medical knowledge
have stemmed is conducted predominantly by the full time facultiesboth of
the basic science and clinical departments. The curriculum is always under
study and, at Buffalo, is altered yearly,
sometimes radically. Integration of basic
science and clinical knowledge is a rcsponsibility of, and a challenge to, all the
medical faculties, especially to those full

time men who have had both research
and clinical training and experience.
Medical education today, in Buffalo, as
elsewhere,is a partnership between university and hospitals, between full time
and voluntary faculties,between basic science and clinical departments, between
regular faculty and hospital residents and
internes, and, more and more, between
faculty and students. In its best developments it is teamwork education.

undergraduate courses in chemistry and
other college subjects. Beginning, therefore, as an addendum to the Medical
School,the College of Arts and Sciences
now located on the University Campus,
has become the focal point of the University. After the opening of the new
Medical, Dental building, most of the departments and schools of the University
will be located on the Campus.

The facilities for development in medical education at the University of Buffalo have been greater in the affiliated
teaching hospitals than in the Medical
School building. The Medical School at
Buffalo is greatly strengthened by its close
affiliation with several teaching hospitals
—private and public—which have shared
in the support of faculty members and
made available for instruction of medical
students a greater number and variety of
patients than is available to many Medical Schools in this country'. The newMedical Building will provide laboratories and libraries for teaching and research which will be up to date and capable of adjustment to meet the demands
of the future. It will permit an increased
enrollment. It will provide a workshop
for present and new teachers,new research,new experiments in education.

over

During the past half century the
changes in the University of Buffalo as a
whole have been no less startling than

those in medicine. The need to introduce
a year of premedical college education
lead to the construction forty yearsago
of an addition to the Medical School
building utilizing funds raised for this
purpose by the faculty of the Medical
School.Here Dr. Sy and others conducted

This new location will give opportunity
the next half century for new developments in medical education aimed
at a broader concept of the education of
a physician.

The future holds a challenge to medical education. Despite the progress of
the past fifty years, medical education in
this country is today undergoingas frank
and critical a study as that made by
Flexner in 1910. It might be said that
medical education today is a prisoner of
its own success. The rate of medical discovery is so great and the accumulation
of new and specialized knowledge so vast
that there is an overall tendency to try
to push too much in too concentrated
form into a student without, in the
process, giving him opportunity to assimilate and to develop intellectual and
emotional maturity.
Nationally today there is a clearly felt
to try to secure greater continuity of
experience in the medical curriculum
with more interrelationship between and

and functional aspects of disease,more

study and experiment here. It is anticipated that in the new school there will
be closer opportunity for experiments in

education between the Medical .School,
the hospitals and other departments of
the University with the aim of reducing
further the separation in presentation between individual departments and specialties, between basic science and clinical years, between college and medical
school years. The aim is to strive toward
more continuity from college through hospital residency and more opportunity for
breadth and depth of educational experience—more benefitof the Medical School
to the University and of the University
to the Medical School. In the past twenty
years the Medical School has dropped
much of the emphasis on the practical
aspects of medical practice—postponing
these to hospital interneship and residency years. The Medical School has concentrated on teaching principles and basic
knowledge. The science of medicine is expanding so rapidly that much that is true
today is out of date tomorrow. Facts
change. If a student is well grounded in
principles and a method of study and inquiry, he will be prepared critically to
discard the obsolete and adapt to newly
developing concepts. The broader his understanding of people and of our society,
the better prepared he should be to treat
people who become ill physically or psychically in the course of their struggle to
survive and to achieve in this society.
The challenge to medical education in a
University setting is to so interrelate with
the facilities of the University as a whole
that the graduates of the University
Medical Schoolwill be broadly educated
as well as well trained in the skills of
their profession.
It is to be hoped that the Medical
Schoollikewise can be of assistance educationally to University departments. It
is the belief also that mutually advantageous research will be developed and
that elective opportunities will increase
in the Medical School departments for
college students and in the other University departments for medical students.
Thereby, in addition to obtaining a common body of knowledge, students will
have the chance to develop their individual capacities and abilities.

A. M. A. TO CREDIT MEDICAL
ALUMNI GIFTS TO UNIVERSITY
The American Medical Association's
Education Foundation,now in its second
year, seeks to raise funds from its physician members to help underwrite part
of the costs of operating the nation's
medical schools. The Association paysthe
expenses of the Foundation so that all
money raised can be passed on to the
schools.
Outstanding evidence of the sincerity
of the Foundation is its recent policy announcement which directly affectsalumni
of the University of Buffalo's Medical
School.

To eliminate possible competition with
the annual Loyalty Funds and fund-raising campaigns of universities and medical
schools,the Foundation's directors have
recently declared that their annual report
will give recognition and credit to those
physicians whom the medical schools report to the Foundation as having supported medical education by making a
gift directly to a medical school.
William J. Orr, MD'2O, chairman of
the University's Alumni Loyalty Fund,
and StocktonKimball, BD'29, dean of the
Medical School, promptly made a joint
announcement that the Alumni Loyalty
Fund and the University's Medical School
would report annually the contributions
of medical alumni to the Fund.

OwenB. Augspurger, LLB'37, chairman
of the University's forthcoming Development Campaign (see page 33), also announced that medical alumni gifts in that
campaign would be similarly credited and
reported to the American Medical Association Education Foundation.

The activities of the Foundation have

public in the necessity of underwriting

to make their own physician members

Commenting in the January issue of the

Journal of the American Medical Association, the editors state: "There is much
evidence that the activities of the Foundation are developing a greater awareness and interest in the needs of the
medical schools on the part of physicians
generally. Many physicians are indicating
by their contributions their recognition
of the debt they owe their medical schools,
while many others see in the Foundation
an opportunity for the medical profession
to again demonstrate its willingness to
aid in the advancement of high standards
of medical education."

Nursing Will Strengthen
Basic and Graduate Curricula

by Anne

W. Sengbusch

Dean of the Schoolof Nursing

The mid-century affords a convenient
opportunity for "stock-taking" for assessing the accomplishments of the past and
anticipating future developments. Such
an evaluation on any adequate scale is
not, of course, possible within the limitations of the present assignment. An
attempt may be made to review major
developments of the past few years and
to indicate some of the dominant trends
which seem to point up the future.
In any consideration of the developments in nursing education which we
may anticipate as occurring within the
next half century it is necessary to look
at the present status of the profession for

clues which indicate direction. The present and probable demands of the practice field and the changing character of
responsibilities nurses are called upon
to meet, have a direct relationship to
the kind of educational system and the
curriculum content and methodology we
expect to find in the future. It is in the
steady influenceof the changing demands
of the practice field on curriculum which
gives us our best indications of future
direction.
It might be said that the profession
of nursing is currently undergoing so
critical a voluntary self-examinationin
both its service and educational aspects
as to warrant a belief that this decade
may well mark the beginning of a new
period in nursing history.
A survey of nursing at this time reveals
the variety of points of view, proposals
for courses of action and recommendations for curriculum change which we
have come to associate with periods of
transition in the profession.
There is evidence that solid progress
has been made in the past decade toward
greater maturity. The ferment in the
field and the willingness of the group to
evaluate,through its professional organizations, its educational purposes and
programs; to assume responsibility for
supplying in amount and kind, the
nursing services necessary to the national welfare; to devise methods of
evaluating the quality of nursing service
programs and to face with realism, a
changing practice pattern indicate an

increased awareness of social responsi-

bility.
A change in the practice pattern in
nursing service organization has evolved
in recent years and shows promise, under
experimentation, of better meeting existing needs for the improvement of service
programs. Facing the fact of critical
shortages at a time when numerically

more nurses were available than ever
before in our history, a reevaluation of
nursing function was undertaken in the
interests of the best possible use of
available supply. Studiesof nursing function point up a range of competencies
necessary to the organization of nursing
services ranging from relatively simple
to those of complexity requiring a high
degree of technical ability, value judgments and skill in human relationships.
A proposal for the use of the nursing
team was advanced as one approach to a
better use of available supply. This concept is based on team membership of
professional nurses and auxiliary personnel working cooperatively in meeting the
needs of the situation, each contributing
to the total in terms of their preparation
and level of competency. The role of the
professional nurse is seen to involve
responsibility for team leadership, for
the planning, supervision and evaluation
of the nursing care program, for the development of the team members through
in-service educational programs, for the
performance of functions involving high
technical skill and judgment and for the
human relationships aspects of the total
program of nursing care. The implications
for nursing education in the proposed
pattern for practice are obvious.
The School of Nursing has felt the
impact of this dynamic period. The
changing goals and pattern in nursing
services and the newly created needs,a.s
reflected by demands for increasingly
competent practitioners, have been relected in the curriculum offerings of the
School at various levels of preparation.

The several major revisions in the curriculum in the past few years are evidence
of the extent of changes in nursing practice.
At the time the Schoolwas established

in 1940 the need as determined by the
Faculty, was for a program designed for
graduates of the hospital-school, through
which educational experiences could be
made available in a limited number of
special fields. The fields as then identified included supervision of hospital
nur.ing and administration in nursing
service and nursing education.
Some ten years later, it is recognized
that the above program meets only a
partial need in the field. Programs of
study have since been added to provide,
for the graduates of hospital-schools, a
combined program in general education
and in nursing which is considered to be
the equivalent of the foundation for
nursing practice given by the collegiate
school. This program is now available
in most schools admitting graduate
nurses in New York Stateand in a few
out-of-state schools. The basic philosophy underlying this development holds
that specialization is properly the responsibility of the graduate field and that
a broader base in general education
should be the objective of the foundation
preparation for nursing practice.
The development of a graduate program was authorized in response to increasing demands for additional preparation for the nursing specialties and for
the responsibilities of positions involving
teaching, supervisory or administrative
functionsin nursing service and in public
health nursing. This program is now
administered in cooperation with the
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
In 1950 the four year collegiate nursing
program for students entering the field
was established and is being developed
in cooperation with selected hospitals
and public health agencies in the community. Unlike many collegiate schools
which utilize the resources of one instition for all clinical experiences, the
Faculty recommended the use of several
cooperating agencies, with the placement
of university students in selected units
of each institution in terms of the most
adequate learning experiences available
for student growth. This program,which
combines general professional education,
includes several unique experiences as

�21

as a result of the unusual clinical facilities in this community.
It may be noted that the four major
programs authorized by the Faculty,
closely parallel significant needs and
developments in the practice field and
represent various stages in transition
from one practice pattern and system of
education to another.
The dominant trends of the present
day justify the following assumptions
relating to the future:
That the future pattern in nursing practice will be based on more
group work, utilizing personnel at
various levels of competence, to
provide the range of abilities from
simple to complex which are necessary in nursing service organizations.
That an expansion may be anticipated in community health programs
with large numbers of nurses participating in programsof prevention of
disease and promotion of health as
well as in programsrelated to the
care of the sick.
That a greater emphasis will be
placed on the social, psychological
and emotional aspects of the care of
the sick as a major component of
comprehensive nursing care. This is
generally accepted at the intellectual
level at the present time if not always implemented in actual practice.
That an increasingly large number
of professional nurses will need
assistance in the development of
leadership and administrative skill
for effective group work.
That the already heavy demands
for services of nurses prepared at
the graduate level show every indication of increasing as additional
responsibilities make necessaryadvanced preparation for the special
fields.
That the encouragement given by
the profession to the development of
basic education in nursing within
colleges and universities will result
in increased numbers of nurses securing their foundation for nursing
practice in these schools. Efforts of
the past in this direction are being
already realized as seen through the
growing numbers of collegiate
schools. Although this trend is solidly
established and generally accepted as
desirable,it must be recognized that
for many years to come the largest
number of nursing students will be
prepared through the hospital school.
That efforts will continue to secure financial support for nursing
education from both private and
public sources with a view to assisting able candidates who wish to enter
the field. An expanded scholarship
program for both hospital and collegiate school has long been recognized as a real need in nursing education.

It is probable that the most significant educational gains in the immediate
future may be expected in the growth
and development of sound basic schools
of nursing within colleges and universities and in the expansion of graduate
programs preparing nurses for the more
responsible positions in the field. The
need for the existent program providing
for specialization at the under-graduate
level is likely to decrease at some point
in the future when it can be expected
that the product of the collegiate program will look to the graduate school
for specialized study.
While it may be some years before
these two major types of preparations for
nurses become the dominant pattern it
is fair to say there is already a solid
trend in this direction and seemingly
steady progressto the goal.
From the standpoint of curriculum
content we are likely to see a strengthening of those learning experiences designed to assist students in developing
knowledge and skill in the areas of
interpersonal relationships, in the psychological and emotional aspects of illness, in the higher technical competencies and in problems relating to the
planning and evaluation of nursing service programs.
A further development of the field
practice component of the nursing curriculum may be anticipated at all levels
of preparation. The availability of carefully planned observation in actual situations in the ongoing programs of health
agencies and the relating of these to the
theoretical base of the educational program has always been an acknowledged
strength in the education of nurses. The
better organization and use of such field
practice periods in the building of sound
student experience has real significance
for the future.
The close association of the Faculty
of this School with staff members of
hospitals and public health agencies in
the community provides an extraordinarily rich opportunity to relate the
University program to the needs of the
field in the interest of a realistic approach
to curriculum building. Already much
has been accomplished through this relationship which permits those responsible for the planning of educational programs to keep in close touch with problems and trends as they develop in the
field.
It is expected that the selection and
organization of learning experiences in
the basic program will provide opportunities for some curriculum experimentation with departure from the traditional plan in nursing education. The
wide clinical resources available in the
community together with the special
facilities of the University provide endless opportunities for enrichment of the
curriculum.
The need for an increased emphasis
in the nursing curriculum on the development of the student as an individual
and a citizen has long been recognized.
It is acknowledged that the excellence
of professional service rendered is directly dependent upon the quality of the
individual responsible for that service.
From the standpoint of both the individual and the future practitioner this
aspect of the curriculum is much in need
of strengthening. The development of

the collegiate program has this goal as
one of its primary aims.
The influenceon the nursing curriculum of the civil defenseprogram is
already resulting in the inclusion of additional technical content and in a new
emphasis in the science area. The clinical
courses are being redesigned to include
the nursing aspects of mass disaster and
the methods of dealing with community
problems resulting therefrom. Best current information supports a belief this
influencewill continue in the forseeable
future and that the foundation program
of the nurse will include preparation for
participation in such situations.
The preparation of the nurse for her
role in rehabilitation programs may also
be anticipated. While primarily limited
to the health aspects of rehabilitation, it
is recognized that as a member of the
health team she has much to contribute
which is significant to the total plan.
The advantages of developing within
one institution both basic and advanced
programs in nursing are many. It is
hoped that in the near future a plan for
securing practice teaching for students in
the advanced program may develop in
relation to the basic student experience
so that each program will be enriched
by the existence of the other.
The planning and development of
opportunities for field experiences in the
University program for its graduate student qualifying for Teaching, Supervision
or Administration presents challenging
possibilities and the members of the
Faculty are eager to reach the point when
such an experimental unit may be instituted.
The tendency to replace isolated short
term courses with broader scope units of
study is being felt in nursing as in other
fields of education. A greater flexibility
in the selection and organization of
learning experiences is being recognized
in contrast to the traditional-bound
"specific requirements as spelled out in
hours and subject areas" in the curriculum of the past. In short, the concept of
an experimental curriculum, sufficiently
flexible in its fixed requirements to meet

the changing needs of the day and more
adaptable to the needs and interests of
individual students.
There is some evidence that attempts
will be made to build an adequate curriculum requiring a shorter period of
preparation than the three to five years
now required to qualify for professional
nursing. There is apparently growing
recognition of the need to bring within
closer range, the various patterns of
nursing education so far as time required
for completion is concerned.
On the basis that a sound professional
programis highly sensitive to the responsibilities demanded in the practice field
there is little danger of a static curriculum in nursing. It appears, however,that
the practice pattern of the future is taking shape and that with the team ap-

proach to nursing personnel organization,
the responsibility of the professional
nurse is becoming more clearly defined.
The challenge to the nurse educator

lies in the need to gear the educational
program to include learning experiences
which will aid students in developing
the skills and knowledge essential to
their effectivefunctioning as members of
the health team.

unselfish devotion to the School have
made this record possible. A fine foundation has been laid but the structure is
not complete. It is not likely to be, since
its designs are being altered constantly. I
The progress of the last half century,
together with the findings of two functional studies of what a pharmacist does
and what he needs to know to do what
he does,have demonstrated that Pharmacy
is a profession. In consideration of the
full round of responsibilities of the pharmacist and the amount, depth and scope
of the training, which is needed to fit him
adequately to fulfill his obligations, the
categorical conclusion that Pharmacy is a
profession and not a trade appears completely justified.
This professional consciousness must
be zealously guarded. In the effort to
commercialize this dual occupation, the
professional morale must not be lost. The
future of the profession will depend
largely upon the degree to which the
Schoolof Pharmacy can inspire its students and Alumni with their professional
opportunities and responsibilities. The
School must meet with resolution the
ever present challenge that pharmaceutical education is becoming too theoretical.
A half century of development has
brought into sharp relief the major objectives of pharmaceuticaleducation. It is
around these broad objectives that we
should project the programme of our
School of Pharmacy for the next half
century.

The School acknowledges as its first
objective the training of pharmacists to
take their place amongother professions
serving the public health. Strengthening
this .spect of our training programme
should then become our first responsibility. As a full consciousness of this responsibility becomes a part of the thinking of all concerned,
we may hope to see
the Schoolof Pharmacy and its Alumni
taking a more active part in the health
problems of the community. We must
strive for more complete understanding
and cooperation between the health professions.In making plans for the future
training and housing of students entering
the health professions, we should insist
that students in Pharmacy be given the
consideration that their profession merits.
Precisely, we shall expect to see a wing

added to the Medical Services Center
which will house the Schoolof Pharmacy
and a modern dispensary for serving the
health needs of campus students.
From the findings and functional studies
of the CommonwealthFoundation and
the American Foundation for Phamaceutical Education,and years of diligent study
and revision of the undergraduate pharmacy curricula, a quite satisfactory professionalor applied programme of study
for admission to the practice of retail
pharmacy has now been devised. Except
for adjustments necessitated by the ever
changing list of drugs, the general pattern of our curriculum will no doubt
maintain for many years. But, however
adequate may be the training in the
applied sciences of our technical schools,
and they include Pharmacy, we are beginning to sense that the graduates of
these Schoolsare lacking something that
is absolutely essential to the welfare of
our democratic society. Arthur T. Vanderbilt, Dean of New York University
School of Law, recently said, "After
twenty-seven years of active participation
in politics, I venture to express the conviction that one of the major causes of
the sickness of our society is the aversion
of its natural leaders,amongwhom I include our professional men, to perform
their obvious duties as citizens". In a
world split in two, we on one side of a
life or death ideological conflict, it is
essential that at least college graduates
should know what we stand for, how we
secured it and how we are going to preserve it.
The late Robert E. Doherty, while
President of Carnegie Institute, viewed
it this way—"A democracy which must
look forward to meeting the challenge of
strong conflicting ideologies will need a
new breed of professional men—men who
not only can perform effectively the
technical part of their work, but who can
also make intelligent decisions in the
human-social realm and know why and
on what basis they made them". The
graduates of our Schools of Pharmacy
must be taught how to analyze the issues
at the polls as studiously as they compound a prescription or analyze its contents. The conclusion that professional
students should be exposed to more liberal arts courses and to a more humanistic spirit in teaching our technical
courses is patent.
The next objective of our School for
the years to come then, is a demand for
more general and cultural training before
taking on the technical curriculum. This
movement has already started in a good
percentage of our Schoolsof Pharmacy
where one, two, or three years of liberal
arts training is required beforeadmission
to the professional curriculum. Before
the next half century of our history is
very far advanced,
we may expect to have
some such requirement at our Schoolof
Pharmacy.
About ninety percent of the graduates
of our Schoolsof Pharmacy currently go
into the retail field. In the yearsto come
that percentage will be reduced by the
demands of pharmaceutical manufacturers.
The budget for research and sales promotion of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry is overwhelming. It exceeds
by far that of any other industry. During
the development of this vast industry it
became necessary to engagekey men for
the research and development programme

who were trained outside the colleges of
Pharmacy. At the present time only seventeen of the accredited 72 colleges of
Pharmacy are training men who can fully
qualify for the many jobs that await them
in industrial research incidental to the
development of new drugs.
Pharmaceutical industries are not the
only institutions calling for pharmacists
with graduate training. Most of the colleges charged with the training of pharmacists are desperately in need of more
and better qualified teachers. Graduates
with special training in Hospital Pharmacy are and will continue to be in demand.
Graduatetraining is very expensive and
it may easily be understood why so few
schools of Pharmacy have established
graduate training programmes.However,
it may be anticipated that increasing
funds will be made available and that
the research and graduate training programme in our Schoolwill be greatly expanded within the next decade. In a
number of States,Alumni of the schools
of Pharmacy have been instrumental in
the development of a Research Foundation, the income from which is used to
aid this most expensive branch of training. The inspiration to all those connected with a going graduate programme
makes this an important objective in our
programme for the future.
To make any specific predictions as to
where the current fantastic programme
in the quest of new drugs will take us
is hardly within the limitations of this
article. During the past half century numerous epochal contributions to our
medical armamentorium have been made
by pharmacists. That they will continue
to add to the valuable products of research is a certainty. The impetus given
to research in the field of Chemotherapeutic agents by the discoveries of the
last fifteen yearshas not been matched by
any era of the past. With so many of
man's ills still to be conquered, it may
safely be predicted that the next half
century will find the pharmaceutical
chemists, the pharmacologists and the
physicians pressing their research activities with feverishdevotion. When the degenerative diseases are thwarted,the virus
diseases and cancer under control, we
shall take pride in the part that those

trained in our Schoolof Pharmacy played
in the research leading to the subjugation
of these and other menaces to our lon-

gevity.
training, however extensive
Professional
it maybe at the undergraduate level, can
never be more than a preparation for
what is to be learned after commencement. Busy practitioners find it impossible to keep abreast of the increasing
knowledge that must be theirs. To assist
them to progresswith the times, the facilities of the University should always
be available. While the services of the
Schoolof Pharmacy to its Alumni have
not been neglected, the years to come
should see increased activity in this field.
This Schoolshould accept as one of its
responsibilities to the profession within
the area normally served by the University, the development of an operational
unit to be known as the Division of

Pharmaceutical Extension. Under competent, professional direction this unit
would develop periodic refreshercourses,
programs of reading, correspondence
study courses, and systematic visitations
and personal counseling on problems peculiar to pharmaceutical practice. Before
the next half century is far advanced,we
may expect to see on our campus special
quarters for Alumni and friends who return for reunions,clinics and conferences
of sorts.
In summary: The record of our School
for the last half century is one of which
we are all proud. Increased opportunities
will make the record of the next half
century even greater. The progress of our
School,as in the past, will be largely in
the hands of its faculty. Given a welltrained faculty with stimulating personalities, unquenchable intellectual curiosity, unselfish devotion to a common
cause and wise, understanding and aggressive leadership, our Schoolof Pharmacy cannot fail to be among the leaders
in the years to come. Imaginative thinking will add to the objectives listed
above. This facuhy must keep the University's Administration informed as to
the resources and facilities needed to
make its projected programmea reality.
The sympathetic interest and cooperation
of the Alumni which has been so vital a
part in our development to this point
must be continued and strengthened.

Social Work

To Serve Wide Region

by Niles Carpenter
Dean of the Schoolof Social Work

The School of Social Work was not
founded by anybody. One is tempted to
say that like Topsy "it just growed". It
would be more accurate to say that the
Schoolof Social Work just had to be.
When I came to Buffalo from Harvard
University in 1924,I was under the impression that we were to have, a strictly
academic department of Sociology. However within a matter of days after my arrival, the process of re-education immediately began. It was made very plain by
representatives of the Social Work professionthat we were expected to organize
instruction in Social Work just as soon
as this was practicable. This obligation
became increasingly manifest with the
passing months. At that time there were
in the entire United States,only twenty
recognized schools of Social Work, as
compared with fifty today. In this part of
the country, there were two schools in
New York City, one in Boston,and one
in Cleveland. Most of the staff members
of Buffalo Social Agencies, as well as
those of agencies in other parts of Western and Central New York, had received
whatever training they had through an
apprenticeship program.
This type of training-on-the-job had
served its purpose very well in past
decades. However it was realized throughout the United Statesthat the time was
now approaching when formal professional education,integrated around a core
of courses related with supervised field
work, would have to be depended upon
to give Social Work the kind of competence and leadership that it was being
called upon to assume.
For the first two years, we had all that
we could do in building up a department
of Sociology on the Campus. However,
in the Fall of 1926 we began very
modestly by offering one course in Social
Caseworkthrough Millard Fillmore College (at that time the Evening Session).
Our first instructor was Mrs. Anna B.
Fox, who was at that time a member of
the staff of the old Charity Organization
Society, now the Family ServiceSociety.
Our first students were almost entirely

drawn from the staffs of our Social
Agencies, and, in fact, such outstanding
executives as the Honorable Cecil Wiener
honored us by becoming early enrollees.
Within three years after the beginning
of our program in the University of Buffalo, two national events forcedthe rapid,
and indeed the almost over-night expansion and development of Social Work
education. The first was an event that
made a very minor ripple upon the public consciousness. The second was a catastrophic irruption into the life of the nation. The first of these events was the
establishment, in 1927, of formal admission and membership requirements by the
American Association of Schoolsof Social
Work. This

step meant

that there was

national body interested in the
development and recognition of sound
programs for professional education
throughout the United Statesand Canada.
The second event was the Great Depression of 1929 and the early 1930'5. There
was an immediate and urgent demand for
men and women with professional training, to staff the newly organized, or reorganized, agencies for relief and rehabilitation that were springing up in
Buffalo and nearby communities. A concurrent development was the redirection
of activities of the various voluntary
agencies, by which they gave up most of
their relief-giving activities, and concentrated on the offering of expert services
to individuals and groups in need of help
around individual, family, or neighborhood problems. These expert services,of
now a

course, needed skilled and trained persons to operate them. Therefore we at
the University of Buffalo were confronted
with a double obligation. On the one
hand we had to help to produce, in large
numbers and at a rapid rate, persons who
could occupypositions in the great reliefgiving agencies. To meet this responsi-

bility the University accepted nearly 100
welfare workers from up-state New
York, selected by the State and financed
out of public funds. At times,we had as
many as 40 such students in training at
one time. On the other hand we had to
select and train highly skilled people to

handle expert special services in the voluntary casework and group work agencies.
As a matter of fact this double-barrelled
responsibility has been faced by the University of Buffalo from that day to this.
The response of the University of Buffalo to this new situation was rapid and
rather dramatic. In 1931 a "curriculum of
Social Work" was set up within the College of Arts &amp; Sciences.Its work was,
however, carried out through Millard
Fillmore College in the downtown area.
This is still the case. At the same time
overtures were made to the American Association of Schoolsof Social Work for
assistance in developing a program that
would qualify the University of Buffalo
for membership in that Association. As a
result, the University of Buffalo's program in Social Work was accepted for
consideration in 1932, and was given
final approval in 1934. We have been a
full-standing member of this accrediting
body ever since.
Our first "graduating class" consisted
of two young women who received the
Certificatesof Social Work in 1933, and
who were almost immediately caught up
in the Emergency Relief Program of this
community. Sincethat time the University has graduated about 700 Social
Workers of whom about 450 hold the
GraduateCertificatein Social Work, representing the one year program, and
about 200 the two year Degree of Master
of Social Service. Our alumni have
worked in almost every state of the
Union and in many foreign countries.
They went with the Armed Servicesin
Europe, Australia,Iceland,North Africa,
and the Far East. One of them was
caught behind the Iron Curtain when he
was carrying on his duties of aiding
refugees and displaced persons, and was
briefly detained and "interrogated". The
executive heads of about 20 SocialAgencies in Buffalo, Rochester,Syracuse, San
Diego, New York City, and other places
are graduates of this school. We have
furnishedfaculty members to three schools
of Social Work, one of them the largest
in the United States. Our students and

�recent graduates are in such great demand, that we have almost given up
answering requests from all over the
country for help in finding personnel.

Our faculty has grown with our student
body and with our enrichment of program. When we began our operations we
had only one full-time instructor and a
handful of part-time instructors picked
from other facultiesand from the community. We now have five full-time faculty members in Buffalo, two half-time
faculty members in Buffalo, and two fulltime faculty members in Syracuse, as well
as over twenty part-time faculty members
in Buffalo, Syracuse, Utica and other
places.
Our student body now numbers approximately 100 full-course students and
about 200 additional part-time students.
These latter are located in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Binghamton, and

Jamestown.

Our programof instruction,both in the
classroom and in the field, has expanded
along with the widened outreach of the
SocialWork profession.
Twenty years ago SocialWork was envisaged as a bundle of techniques associated with certain specific knowledgesconcerning human personality. Social Work
still requires an understanding of personality factors, and of the dynamics of
individual and group behavior. It still
calls for a great deal of highly developed
skill in relating helpfully and professionally to people with economic, social,
emotional,and other problems. However
the leaders of Social Work have also
come to realize that they must cast their
nets wider than they used to. It is important to have an understanding of the
society in which Social Work has to
operate and also of the larger forces,and,
especially the pressures within the social,
national, and international scene, that
affect the lives of people. Finally, Social
Work calls upon the results of many
other sciences, ranging all the way from
medicine, psychology, and psychiatry, to
statistics, political science, and administration. Also field work has been expanded so as to include not only casework and group work agencies, but also
agencies of community organization, community relations, medical and psychiatric
services,school departments, courts, parole and probation offices, and many
others. We now have a student employed
in the National Catholic Welfare Conferenceoffice in Occupied Germany. In
the past, we have placed students in some
of our larger SocialWelfare Departments
on the State level and in our Federal
agencies.

Mention has been made of our work
in other cities and this leads to our most
and perhaps our most significant
development. From time to time we have
been asked to set up extension courses in
various cities of Western New York and
even Eastern Pennsylvania. We have responded occasionally to these calls, but
have not done so as often as we might,
because we believe that SocialWork education should be offeredin what might be
called a package of organized courses and
concurrent field work. However during
the middle 1940's we were formally rerecent

quested by Syracuse University to help
set up a programin Social Work Education in that area. After consultation with

the New York State authorities, we established what has come to be called the
University of Buffalo-Syracuse University
Cooperative Program in Social Work
Education. We have two full-time instructors who are jointly members of the
facultiesof the University of Buffalo and
Syracuse University, who live at Syracuse
and who give courses and supervise field
work there. We also send members of
our full-time faculty to Syracuse every
week throughout the school year and
sometimes one of the Syracuse Faculty
comes to Buffalo to give a course in his
particular specialty. We do not know of
anything quite like this in the way of
inter-university cooperation anywhere else
in the United States.
The program in Rochester is on a
somewhat different basis but its net result is that Rochester University is also
working with us in sponsoring social
work professional education and we also
are supplying a part of the faculty for
that effort. Our work in Jamestown,
Utica, and Binghamton, are operated in
conjunction with our operations in either
Buffalo or Syracuse. In every instance we
work througha local university or college
center.

There are several ways in which social
work education benefitsfrom a regional
program such as has been developed by
the University of Buffalo and its sister
institutions.
It makes professional education more
widely available, by bringing it to the
communities in which social work practitioners and professional aspirants live. It
is more economical in time and money to
send one instructor to a class of 30 than
to bring 30 students to the instructor—
and it is more likely that these will be a
class of 30!
The community and its social agencies
are benefitedby having social work education carried on within their borders.
They are more likely to recruit, and to
hold onto, traineu professional workers,
rather than have them drained off into
those few major metropolitan centers
where social work education has heretofore been concentrated. Their people
are trained in terms of the problems and
patterns peculiar to their own locale.
Their agency staffsare stimulated by having field work students placed with them
for supervision, just as a hospital staff
profits from the experience of working
alongside internes and medical students.
There is a saving in the utilization of
professional talent, in two ways. On the
one hand, the services of well-qualified
local practitioners are made available to
professional education. In Syracuse, Rochester, Utica, and Binghamton we have enlisted social workers, physicians, psychologists, and psychiatrists into our educational operation. On the other hand,
there is the maximum utilization of the
knowledge and know-how of the specialists who make up the full-time staff
of the Schoolof SocialWork. Suchpersons are hard to find and harder yet to
recruit in the faceof the intense shortages
that characterize social work personnel.
It is better to build up a sizeable staff of
first-class instructors at a central point,

and "loan them out" to other communities from time to time, than to set up
three or four faculty groups, minimal
both in size and quality.
Finally a regional programexpands the
scope of field work training. Field work
is the laboratory of social work education, and student enrollment is limited by
available field work placements. By developing field work in Niagara Falls,
Jamestown,Dunkirk, Gowanda,Elmira,
Utica, Syracuse, and Rochester,we have
at least doubled our capacity, and we
have greatly enriched the range of significant learning experience available to our
young people.
Enrichment of our field work program
has been mentioned. It is our hope that
the enrichment of all our program will
be the keynote of the University of Bufalo Schoolof Social Work in the years
ahead. We already have a specialization
in Psychiatric Social Work that is officially accredited and that is being financially aided by the Federal Government. We are in the process of setting up
a specialty in Social Group Work, and
we are strengthening our offerings in
Community Organization, Public Welfare, and Research. We want to widen
the scope of our total operation, along
the lines laid down in the challenging
Hollis-Taylor report on social work education that has just been published. We
want to prepare our graduates to work
in medical,school, and other specialized
settings for which they are not now qualified. Even more, we want to enable them
to follow the expansion of social work
functionsinto government, industry, labor
relations, and international cooperation.
Also we want to prepare a few students
for research,teaching, and top-level administration.
We have a good faculty. We want a
better one. This means the addition of
specialists in additional fields. It also
means giving the faculty we already have
enough relaxed time, privacy, and technical assistance to grow and to produce
professionally.

And most of all, we want to (indeed
to save our professional souls we must)
increase the fund of knowledge available
to our profession. Like all new fields of
endeavor,social work has been subsisting
largely on material borrowed from other
professions,—on that, and on improvisation and hunch. We can't go on "playing
by ear" much longer. We have to work
out our own professional principles of
practice and the basic data upon which
those principles may be firmly built. And
the schools of social work are the places
where this job of research and professional statesmanship has,in the main, got
to be done. Up to now our school has
regrettably done less than it should,and
less than the people on its faculty would
and could. We feel like quoting a great
statesman who said, in another connection, "Give us the tools and we will finish the job".

General and Technical Division
Prepares Two-Year Curricula

by John A. Beane
Director of the Division of General&amp; Technical Studies
and Nicholas Kish

Assistant

In June, 1952, the University of Buffalo
will conferfor the first time in its history
the two-year degrees of Associate in Arts
and Associate in Applied Scienceupon
those candidates who have successfully
completed the program of study prescribed for the degrees. The event must
be noted as another landmark in the continuous and determined efforts of the
University to render a community service
to the area within which it operates, and
at the same time to facethe challenge of
every educational problem as it makes its
appearance.
The Division of General and Technical Studies,with its two year curriculum,
is the fourteenthand newest addition to
the many divisions of the University. It
is designed to play an important role in
providing the University's answer to
urgent and serious problems that have
confronted educational institutions for
many years. Foremost among these problems has been the question of what to do
about the young people who graduate
yearly from our high schools. Educational
statistics show that approximately a million of these young people are graduated
each year. An equal number withdraw
beforecompleting their high school programs. Of this collective group, with or
without diplomas, less than twenty per
cent continue their education in some
higher institution of learning. Oneout of
every two young people who enter college, receive a diploma or a degree. The
other individual, for one reason or another drops out at the end of one or two
years of study. Many of these young
people leave college because they cannot
finance themselves beyond two years of
study. -Someleave because of inadequate
scholastic ability. Whatever the reason
might be, it is evident that the education
provided these youngpeople during their
short stay in college should prepare them
to assume their responsibilities as good
citizens in our society.
Another troublesome problem is presented by the thousands of young people
who are turned awayby colleges as material they deem unable to lend itself to
traditional academic practices. To the majority of this group secondary education
thus becomes terminal education. Col-

to

the Director

leges, for the most part, are concerned
with training for professions which call
for high academic achievement. Therefore, they select those students whose
records indicate high native endowment
for working with intellectual tools.
Truthfully speaking, this professional
group is only a percentage of the total
group which needs to be served by a university. Development of our society has
shown there is need for a group of people
working with an understanding of the
problems of the professional group. It
has been undeniably demonstrated,that
in order to receive this understanding, it
is necessarythat education be continued
beyond the high school and this further
education be attained within the framework of a university. We must also recognize that each individual is a potential
contributor to human progress. Regardless of their abilities all our young people
have the same needs—a chance to belong
to, and be considered as important factors in our social order; opportunities to
develop standards by which to govern
their lives; a chance to gain economic
independence and to prepare for the establishment and maintenance of a good
family life.
The Division of Generaland Technical
Studies, with its various two-year study
programs, is dedicated to the purpose of
meeting the needs of these groups of
young people. We believe that this goal
is best achieved in the atmosphere of intellectual freedom of the University of
Buffalo where students may develop their
ability to suspend judgment until evidence is gathered, and then boldly to
make wise decisions. Certainly these men
and women who will form the alumni of
this new division of the University will
have no doubt of the need of such programs. They must decide whether we have
succeeded in our effort.
The courses in general education,introduced into the University of Buffalo
by this Division, cut across various fields
of knowledge so that an integrated approach toward present day problems may-

be achieved. The technical courses are designed to help the student understand
the professional person's problems and
to aid him in translating theory into prac-

tice. All of the courses are aimed to
achieve the general decision-making goals
indicated above.
The future of the Division in the next
fifty years looks bright. In the years to
come our country facesthe need for an
expanding system of elementary and secondary schools. Educators predict that
students of the future in increasing numbers will of necessity seek schooling at
an extended age level, until the age of
twenty at least. Increased enrollment in
these areas will mean increased attendance in post-secondary institutions. The
task of providing appropriate education
for these groups of young people, particularly those representing students with
patterns of abilities, interests,and longrange goals not previously served by the
colleges, presents a challenge which the
Division is prepared to meet. Colleges
have never found it too difficult to stimulate the superior students to continue
their learning and to prepare them for
the leadership that should be theirs. To
broaden the viewpoints of the vast masses
of our people, to open new vistas of interest to them, and to incline them more
directly toward social goals is desirable
for the future economical,political and
social interests of our country. Colleges
must concern themselves with appropriate programsof study and work for the
long neglected averageyoungperson—for
the kinds of young people who will be
the very backbone or bulwark of our democracy in the years to come.
The Division looks forward to the task
of preparing new educational programs
for the vast majority of young people
who will not continue beyond the first
two years of college, programs realistically adapted to both the potentialities of the young people and the needs
of our rapidly changing social and economic order. In our democratic state decisions must be made by all our citizens
at all levels,it is essential,therefore,that
every young person be educated both
for intelligentparticipation in democratic
processes and for the personal growth
and development that are the goals of
our democratic living. To this goal, the
Division pledges its efforts in the years
to come.

Millard Fillmore College To
Expand Diversified Offerings

by Robert F. Berner
Acting Dean of Millard Fillmore College

In passing the North Main Street
Campus during the evening, witness, if
you will, the blaze of light which illuminates the atmosphere. It is symbolic of
the fact that the University, through
Millard Fillmore College, has accepted
one of the primary obligations of this
community—the systematic and uniform
spread of opportunities for adult education over the whole community. Great
progresshas been evidenced during the
last 25 years in providing credit cur-

ricula and non-credit interest courses to
the adults in this area. The future will
evidence pervasive expansion of these
educational opportunities.
In the following report, the writer presents a synopsis of the diversity of services offered through Millard Fillmore
College and the anticipated progress of
each.
Formal-Credit Offerings:
Historically, Millard Fillmore College
has pioneered in the development of
course offerings to serve the educational
needs of the adult citizenry in the Niagara Frontier area. The varied credit
curricula in Arts &amp; Sciences,Business
Administration, Engineering, Education,
and Social Work attest to the fact that
the University has made available educational opportunity not only to a short
span of early manhood,but to young and
old alike during hours which permit a
combination of daytime work and evening education.
Frequently, courses originating in Millard Fillmore College have mushroomed
in popularity and have served as a nucleus
of special departments created in the
regular day divisions of the University.
The next 50 years will see a continuation
of this pioneering spirit. Sensitiveto the
educational demands of the grown men
and women in this community, the administration will continue to act as a
fore-runner in the development of special
credit programs.
Non-Credit-Adult Interest Courses:
Great progresshas been made in the
development of non-credit courses. These
are planned with a view to the special
interests of adult students,where no conventional text-books are required and
where no formal requirements of previous education are specified. With the
aid of the University faculty, trained in
the leadership of adult-level courses, we

.

anticipate the offering of many new noncredit courses designed to: help mature
persons in their everyday living and
working, provide a background for their
interpretation of current problems, aid
in the development of new interests,
heighten their enjoyment and appreciation of worthwhile things, and stimulate
intellectual curiosity. To date,interest,as
evidenced by satisfactory enrollment, has

been shown in such courses as "The Law
and You", a series of lectures and discussions designed in non-technical language to provide for laymen a better
understanding of law and legal institutions in the United Statestoday, as they
affect not only the practical problems of
everyday living, but current issues in
American political and economic life.
Other popular courses have been: "Accounting for the Small Business","The
Charming Hostess", "Semantics", "Lectures on Symphonic Music", and "Physics

tions of the population into the older-age
groups. Consistentwith this trend, opportunities should be provided to enable
this age group to continue on as a vital
part of our society. Therefore,non-credit
programs involving work-shops and seminars will be formulated to assist these
people in making decisions about such
common problems as supplementingfixed
pension incomes,living with "In-laws",
and government legislation affecting their
group.

"In-Servtce"Training:
The expansion of educational service to
business and industry is evidenced by the
greater proportion of the faculty's time
which is spent in planning and teaching
of tailor-made training courses for the
management and/or technical personnel
of individual business establishments,
generally taught on their premises. Such
arrangements prove beneficialnot only to

The Campus in Summer!
A Busy, Beautiful Place

by Leslik

O. Cummbvcs

Director of the Summer Session

The Campus in Summer! What a
beautifulplace in which to take advantage
of die opportunities offered through the
Summer Session! Preparation for the
activities of the summer goes on all
through the fall and winter. Through
the SummerSessionadministration the
regular programsof the various Campus
divisions: The College of Arts and
Sciences,and the Schoolsof Business,
Administration, Education, Engineering,
Nursing and Pharmacy, and the Department of Air Scienceare made available
to regular students. To these are added
students from the Niagara Frontier who
attend other educational institutions scattered over a wide area. A list of these
includes students from 94 other institutions and from 21 states and 5 foreign
countries. With the addition of new
dormitories to be constructed in the near
future, we hope to broaden the scope of
SummerSessionin regard to non-resident
students.
In addition to providing opportunities
for study in the usual course of events,
the SummerSessionof the University
will continue as it has in the past to
play the role of innovator,experimenter,
and demonstrator of new ideas. Ventures
which are first tried in the summer frequently become incorporated in the academic year. Illustrations of these are:
The Visual Aids Laboratory, introduced

in Summer Session,has led to the development of a University service for

filled the need for preparing teachers in
this new area of Education has expanded
and developed as a Schoolof Education
course since its inception in the 1951
SummerSession.
A recognition of the needs of the community and the introduction of timely
subjects will always be an aim of the
SummerSession.Examples of this in recent years are:
The Laboratory in Elementary School
Problems—especially designed to prepare college graduates for certification
in teaching and made vital through the
cooperation of classes of children at the
elementary level conducted by experienced teachers. This course is becoming
increasingly popular and will continue
to keep pace with the latest developments in educational theories.
The Youth Cooperative Group—prospects
are that this special program for
high school Sophomores and Juniors will
continue to play an important role in the
teacher education program of Summer

Session.These young people are brought
to the Campus and offered opportunities
to learn and play under the careful
direction of skilled teachers,administrators and guidance workers, to see in
demonstration classes and in small, informal groups, some of the newest theories
and latest concepts of methodology put
into practice. In addition the program is
of considerable service to the youths
who attend. Many of them realize new
potentialities and all are made to feel
that they are important. Their experiences are enriched by contact with the
University and the community itself is
enriched as the students' ideals of respect
for fellows, responsibility and integrity
are further enhanced. An expansion of
this program and of the number and
scope of the demonstration groups is
anticipated.
Science and the Modern World—a
cooperative project involving the biology,
chemistry, geology, and physics departments in a program which will tie in
lectures,discussion,laboratory work and
field trips in a timely approach to scientific topics of current interest.
Work Conferencein Community Nursing—an example of service to the community by the University which will give
nurses an opportunity for practical solutions to problems in everyday nursing.
One of the most interesting ventures
of an exceptional nature has developed
over the years into a regular feature of
the Summer Session, namely the Art
Courses.Startedin 1928 when there was
a need in the community for preparing
teachers of Art to meet state certification,
in the summer of 1952 the courses open
their 25th year. A feature of these art
courses has been the bringing to the
teachers of this area artists of note:
Lewis Rubinstein, Harry Leith-Ross,
Blanchard Brown, Bertha K. Budde and
Charles Burchfield.The SummerSession
administration hopes to continue to widen
the scope of the Art courses. For instance,
in the SummerSessionof 1952 the Art
Courses bring to the Campus Robert
Blair, former head of the Buffalo Art Institute and winner of two Guggenheim
Fellowships.
The SummerSessionadministration is
always anxious for suggestions of methods
by which it may better serve the community.

Personnel Plans for
Further

Careful Guidance

by Edward S. Jones
Dean of Students&amp; Directors of Personnel Office

Personnel officesor officesof the Dean
of Studentshave varied meanings in the
colleges of this country. There is not only
a great differencein emphasis from college to college, but often from year to
year; and new administrative policies may
call for changes in activities of the University of Buffalo.
In the past, the Personnel Office has
been divided into four general areas:
Testing; Counseling; Remedial Work and
Placement (part time and permanent).
For many years, nearly every entering
student has taken four standardized tests
which have included a variety of aptitude
sub-tests,and has filled out a 4 pagesheet
of biographical data. On the basis of
these tests it is often possible to caution
students about loads of work, types of
curricula and the need of remedial work
in essential fields. Supplementary interest
or personality testing is also suggested in
many cases. Employers often request information about test scores.
The counseling activities of this office
have been subject to considerable discussion, in part because of different philosophies of guidance. We have initiated some
group conferences
and a good deal of individual orientation counseling for all
entering students. Students are interviewed not only about courses, but study
techniques, outside interests or hobbies
and emotional or other problems which
might affect their progressin college or
in a vocation. We believe that at least 80
per cent of these interviews are of definite advantage to the student.
Contrary to practice in many colleges
which have a faculty advising system, it is
not necessarily the man who volunteers to
come in for counseling who benefits.We
have tried in the College of Arts and
Sciences,a dual advisory system, in which
every student's final registration blank
must be signed by a faculty advisor and
a member of the Personnel Office. This
may seem like a waste of time on the surface but, in reality, may be of real value
to the student. He gets more than one
point of view; he hears not only the viewpoint of his department or some chosen
professor but he also gets the viewpoint
of a placement and adjustment office
which tries to keep up on professional requirements and occupational demands of
the community. In the end, he generally
makes his own choice,but on the basis
of more than one suggestion. He is not

as Hkely to be dictated to as in
erage college, but learns lo make

the avhis own
decisions,which is the ultimate goal of
personnel counseling.
Various kinds of remedial counseling or
drill work have been tried in this Office.
Courseprogramson improvement of study
habits, on reading speed and comprehension, and on note-taking have lasted
from two to ten weeks. Considerableattention has been given to the handlingof
probation students in the College of Arts
and Sciences
with the effort not to scold
them but to provide useful suggestions,
drills and methods of study, and an improved motivation. Someinteresting experiments have been tried in the direction
of meeting homogeneous groups such as
very young students,or those inclined to
worry, for special groupcounseling.
The placement of graduates from a college office has many aspects. Not only
have we spent much time on placing
students on a part time basis on or off
campus but we have undertaken several
activities with the aim of guiding or informing our students occupationally, ultimately placing our students in a vocation
which will be most advantageous to them
and to the community. Toward these ends
we have progressed with various projects;
group vocational guidance conferences; a
course on occupational information with
credit; group and individual interviews
by outside industrial experts with our
students; informative or corrective interviews by the placement director on
posture, how to get a job,writing to and
visiting local industries. Often we have
used supplementarytesting, or repeat personality adjustment counseling for the
more difficult cases. The clerical work,
and time for interviewing, or for greeting outside employer-agents can run into
time and money. We believe a decided
expansion of our placement services
would be of advantage to our alumni; it
could also enhance the good will of the
community towards the University.
Our greatest need at the present is a
salary scale for placement and other personnel workers which will insure satisfactory permanent employment, rather
than a continual turn-over of men who
are in key public-relations positions. The
type of man most needed is the type who
will be offered many positions, but
strongly believes in the personnel adjustment of young college people. He should

have a nose for research as well as the
capacity to keep in good contact with
professors on campus and employers in
industry.

There is often a decided breech between
the ideal and the practical, and personnel
work in general offersillustrations of the
discrepancy. Any of the above activities
could be carried on more successfully
with more funds. Also new development
in personnel work could be initiated,
such as more contacts with dormitories
and fraternities, with extra-curricular interests on the part of each student for the
development of strong personalities, with
foreign-born students, and with many
sorts of remedial cases. Naturally the
direction of expansion would depend in
part on the personal interests of the
regular staff of the Personnel Office; it
would also be affectedby higher administrative policies and attitudes.
The best type of faculty advising costs
money—time taken from class room instruction—and requires faculty members
who are willing to take suggestions from
those who are better informed about
counseling methods and professional and
other requirements in the state or federal
government.

We believe more attention could profitablybe paid to career planning at the end
of the sophomore year, before the choice
of a department is made, and in the
senior year. No personnel official in a
democracy can appropriately dictate a
course of study or type of occupation for
a student. However, he should be realistically informative; he should tell a C,
or averagestudent that his chances of
acceptance in medical school or for
graduate training will be almost nil, and
what related fields might be suitable.
Ideally, a student should be "sold" on
something which is reasonable for him,
and motivated to try his best to qualify
as a satisfactory person in that field. In
our culture, much of this guidance must
be indirect, since many students as well
as parents are disappointed at a blunt
approach.
A program of career analysis involves
a far-reaching survey of occupational outlooks, which in turn implies curriculum
change, and the institution of entirely
new course fields. In order to avoid the
over-production of some graduates, with
a surplus of jobs in other fields of spe(Continued on Page

cializaiion, the possibilities of an occupations-development bureau is indicated.
Such a committee would make surveys
and come out with revealing reports
available to the faculty curriculum committees and Personnel Office advisors.
As indicated above,research should be
a major part of any personnel office procedure. Surveys and research projects
with the maximum of scientific control
for the type of educational data available
will inevitably show up spots in our collegiate programs which need strengthening or developing anew. Fortunately we
have the basis for much research through
the personnel blank data required from
all entering students at the University of
Buffalo. We can match people of the
same general ability who have gone into
one program with others in entirely different programs of study or types of occupations. We should find out, for example, what kinds of people make the
best social workers, or lawyers. To conduct the basic research which is waiting
will take time and extra funds, we hope,
from educational foundations.
The Personnel Office has already initiated, or cooperated in, our nationallyrecognized scheme of anticipatory examinations, required Graduate Records
examinations,dual advising system, handling of probation students with remedial
techniques, and extensive uniform testing
for all freshmen.It can continue to be of
assistance in these and other directions.

(Continued)

with the Bar Associations. We are fortunate in having the close and friendly
relations that we do with the Erie County
Bar Association. It is our hope that in
cooperation with the Bar and WBEN-TV
we will be able to continue to serve the
public through such programs as "The
Law and You".
But our obligation is deeper. The Law
School faculty is in a position to serve
the Bar Association by active participation in the work of its committees. We
trust that we may be of even greater service in this regard in the future than we
have been in the past.
Finally, we are planning a StudentBar
Association for our Law School. When
this organization becomes a reality, we
hope to affiliate as closely as possible
with both the Erie County Bar Association and the American Bar Association
to the end that our students will, while
still in school,appreciate the importance
of active participation in Bar Association
activities.
In conclusion,this Law School is your
Law School. We welcome your suggestions, your criticisms,and your support.
We are looking forward to the development of even closer ties during these
next fifty years, and to an ever stronger
and more active group, looking to the
development of an even better law school
than you had when you were here—if
that be possible.

School of Education

(Continued)

of a pioneering beginning must necessarily characterize the Schoolto enable it
to meet the challenges of the future. The
recent announcementof the establishment
of the Educational Research Center is an
illustration. It gives promise of a service
which will have far reaching effects,we
hope, both within the University and in
the schools of the area. The center will
make investigations and supply information. By providing the Schoolswith objective pictures of their educational programs,of the needs of their school buildings, athletic and recreational facilities,
and with a better knowledge of the needs
of the children, youth, and adults, there
may be expected citizens to meet the
new day.
Another illustration is seen in the recent development of the courses in Human Relations. Beginning in 1950 as an

experiment in cooperation with the Buffalo Board of Community Relations and
the Community Relations Board of the
Buffalo Board of Education, there has
since developed an interest both in the
Buffalo schools and in those of surroundingareas. This promises a new dedication
of teachers and administrators to the task
of helping children and youth to realize
that every child, regardless of any factor
other than his own worth and ability,
shall be helped by our schools to his

best.
All of this adds up to the mandate
that a Schoolof Education in a democratic
society illustrate in its own procedures
the principles of democratic leadership.
It must aim to help all of those wirh
whom it comes in contact in their desire
to realize the hopes of our democratic
faith.

School of Dentistry (Continued)
The practice of the profession of dentistry requires an intimate understanding
of the numerous mechanical operations as
employed in the routine of a busy practice. Therefore a clear comprehension of
their application is essential to obtain the

desired success. In the past the mechanical side of dentistry has largely overshadowed the scientificside;however,the
last ten years have brought about quite a
change in this situation. The present program of dental education is closely affiliated with the fundamental branch's of
medicine and its study is baied on the
broad principles of general biology,
knowledge of which is basically essential
for training in any of the health professions. The most important problem of the
present and the future is to establish the
best balanced program possible to meet
these two important requirements of dental education. The School of Dentistry
will seek the answer as to the best plan for
a curriculum of dental education that will
graduate our students with true ability to
practice their profession and render the
best services possible to humanity.
Health is a priceless possession and the
profession of dentistry plays an important
part in preserving and restoring health to
the individual. In view of this fact the
curriculum of a dental school must be revised from time to time as experience and
research open up new horizons. At the
present time the courses are planned so as
to stress the close relationship of oral
health to general health. Thus early in
the student's education the basic science
courses are studied and it is becoming
increasingly important that these be carried over to tie in with the hospital and
clinical experiences of the student.
The necessity of being familiar with the
methods and means available to prevent
dental disease will become more and
more important as time goes on and the
dental schools should be intensely concerned with this phase of dental education.
Teaching in the various fieldsof restorative dentistry has undergone much re-

vision in recent years. As the result of
scientific studies of occlusion it has been
demonstrated to the profession that some
of the older theories regarding occlusion
were not entirely correct. This field still
leaves much room for scientific research
and experimentation.
In the field of dental materials that are
used by the profession for restorative
dentistry there have been many revolutionary advances. The discovery and
adaptation of new materials for dental
restorations,together with the development of techniques for their use in the
fieldof dentistry will continue. The dental
school and its facultiesare important contributors in this field, for some of this
experimentation should be carried on in
various departments of the dental school.
Our dental department will keep abreast
of new developments and aid as much as
possible in this intriguing search for
better techniques and materials.
One of the outstanding accomplishments of the dental department in the
past fifteen to twenty years has been the
excellent teaching relationship effected
with the various hospitals in the community. Our students have had the advantage of hospital clinical practice, observation teaching, ward observation,and
learning general hospital routine. This
type of experience is of great value later
in consultations with our medical colleagues. In the future we hope to expand
and improve this important phase of the
teaching program.
The University of Buffalo's Schoolof
Dentistry must and will maintain its place
in advancement of dental knowledge.This
will be made possible when we have the
physical facilities, research facilities, personnel,and above all, the active support
of the alumni.
The foregoing has been a modest effort
to cover the past, the present
and the
hopes for the future of our School of
Dentistry and its place in the march of
progress.Much has been left unsaid but
we can all be proud of our heritage and
look with confidenceinto the future.

SYRACUSE HONORS CHANCELLOR

ChancellorT. R. McConnellis pictured
above when Syracuse University conferred upon him the honorary degree of
Doctor of Humane Letters. The ceremony
was part of Syracuse University's mid-year
commencement on January 27th.
In presenting the degree, Chancellor
William P. Tolley of Syracuse cited Dr.
McConnell'srecord of research,scholarship, and educational administration as
"one of the most distinguished in American higher education today".

Millard Fillmore College
now offered on a relatively small scale,
as business and industry become more
aware of the services which the University and its faculty can provide, the future will see a large number of firms in
Buffalo, as well as in the smaller but industrially expanding cities of Western
New York, requesting the extension of
Millard Fillmore College's "In Service"

courses to them.
Extension Programs:
Present statistics indicate that over 500
students commute from such outlying
cities as Jamestown,Silver Creek, Dunkirk, Niagara Falls, Batavia, the Tonawandas,and several others. Concomitant
with the principle of providing broader
service to an ever-expanding community,
Millard Fillmore College will expand its
facilities by establishing extension units
in several of these outlying communities.
Evidence of this trend can best be illustrated by:
a. the now-existent course in Engineering Vibrations offeredin Olean,
New York; and
b. the formulationof a special course
in Secretarial Practice, to prepare
students for the examinations leading to the designation of Certified
ProfessionalSecretaries,which will
be taught in Niagara Falls.
Continuation of this trend leads quite

Dr. Tolley said, in part: "The trustees
of the University of Buffalo could not
have found a man more eminently qualified than you to enrich and advance the
spirit of the scholar-administrator".
Syracuse's Chancellor also praised the
many scholarly books and articles Dr.
McConnell has written and mentioned
the fact '.hat he has been chosen by President Truman to be a member of the
Commissionon Higher Education.

(Continued)
definitely to the establishment of perma-

units in several of these cities to
provide adult education opportunities,
credit and non-credit alike, to a greater
number of people living in these comnent

munities.
Millard Fillmore College Alumni
Association:
Interest in the establishment of a separate "Alumni" group for students completing a majority of their work through
Millard Fillmore College has been growing. These graduates who had not participated in the activities of the day-time
divisions, whose faculty recommended
the granting of a degree, look forward to
the establishment of a Millard Fillmore
College Alumni group. The Alumni Secretary joins with the officialsof the Evening Division in encouraging this interest, and we anticipate its formulation
in the very near future.
Conclusion:
The diversity of services and the diversity of courses which can be administered through Millard Fillmore College
are almost limitless. Expansion, extension,
and change of these services will be the
rule during the next 50 years. The adults
in Western New York communities are
interested in self improvement or in specific advancement. Their demands will be
met by your University.

Engineering education today differs a
great deal from that of a half century
ago. Your education,more than adequate
in its day, would today be totally inadequate for entrance to the profession. The
evolutionary increase in the science of
engineering, the continued growth of the
Scienceat the expense of the Art, inevitably found the four college years inadequate to the purpose. The prospective engineer today must expectat the end of his
common public education to obtain at
least an Associate degree and frequently
a Bachelor degree in Humanics with a
minor in Mathematics and Sciencebefore
entering the Schoolof Engineering. After
three yearshere, he may receive a Bachelor of Sciencedegree and enter industry
as an aide or technician in specific capacities. For a professional career he
continues two years toward a degree of
Master of Mechanical,Electrical, etc. Engineering, and 25% continue two more
years to the degree of Doctor of Engineering. The latter degree is essential for
certain professional posts. In either case,
he is then ready to enter industry as an
intern for a period of from 2 to 3 years
before being assigned to a division of the
industry of his choice. Today 80% of
professional students in Engineering have
state sponsored or endowed scholarships
or fellowships.
Fifty years ago,

one writer said that
50% of the people are employed
in industries which did not exist 50 years
ago." Today, a similar statement would
read 60%. These changes have been due
largely to the labors of the engineers of
this country. You, the Engineering Alumni, have had an important part in these
developments. You will continue the good
work. You will expect your School to
continue its leading role in the future.
You will make it possible for the class
of '01 to review the next fifty years with
a sense of achievement even greater than
that which you have experienced.

Even a superficial glance at the figures
in the box above should make alumni
proud indeed.
The $22,400 recorded there is the
amount given last year to the University
through the Loyalty Fund—about 58,000
more than in 1950. In addition to these
monies,alumni also made payments on
their pledges to the CentennialFund to
the extent of some $35,000.
Specific gift records for schools,classes,
and individuals will be published in the
Honor Roll to be sent to all alumni soon.

PART OF FUND MONEY
FOR SCHOLARSHIPS
At an Alumni Loyalty Fund Executive
Committeemeeting this month, Chancellor T. R. McConnell announced that the
University administration had decided to
apportion $10,000 annually from the
Loyalty Fund receipts to the Committeeon
Scholarships and Loans for the granting
of scholarships to outstanding student
leaders beginning this next fall.
Dean Lillias M. Macdonald, chairman
of the Scholarship Committee,has asked
the Bulletin to convey the thanks and
appreciation of her committee to the
Alumni. She added: "The committee
hopes that alumni will recommend outstanding high school seniors in their communities. Such recommendations should
be addressed to me and should reach me
prior to April Ist."

TEACHERS: REGISTER!
Alumni interested in teaching positions
for next year or shortly thereafter are
urged to contact the Teacher Placement
Office, Hayes Hall, Buffalo 14, N. Y.
Several unusual positions for experienced teachers are available.
Registration is confidential.Filling out
the necessaryforms puts a teacher-alumnus on the mailing list to receive notification of top-oight opportunities as they

occur.

In announcing Mr. Augspurger's appointment, Mr. Knox said: "The University is an independent institution, indepently controlled and financed, and depends for all of its support on the community it serves. Its budget is carried
entirely by student feesand by the generous contributions of its alumni and of
the citizens and industries of this metropolitan area."
According to Mr. Knox, the campaign
will have these objectives: 1) Supply
necessary additions to physical plant, including completion of Medical-Dental
Building and erection of a new physics
building; 2) Gain endowment for better
faculty salaries; 3) Strengthen and develop educational programs to meet the
growing needs of the community; 4) Inaugurate and expand teaching and research projects.

Home In Action

A scant 17 points have kept CoachMai
Eiken and the University of Buffalo cage
Bulls from an undefeatedrecord thus
far.
Suffering losses of 1 point to Rochester,
3 points to Connecticut,6 points to Canisius,and 7 points to Colgate, the Bulls
stand at 16 and 5 for the season, and
seem a cinch to post their best season as
Eikenmen.
Instrumental in every victory, and outstanding in each defeat, has been the
performance of the Bulls one-two scoring
punch, Captain Hal Kuhn and freshman
sensation Jim Home. Hal's 19.3 game
average coupled with Jimmy's 17 per,
have consistently accounted for about half
of the game's score. The cage Bulls are
by no means a two man team, however,
for Howie Johnt,Dan Craft, Jim Rooney,
and Dick Riley have been steady scorers,
and as Eiken says,"any one of my first
six can be high for any single game."
The lack of bench strength and of real
height have been the Bulls' only drawbacks so far, but with three more games
to play, and a win-heavy record behind
them, the team is proving that speed,
hustle, and accuracy can still produce a
winning season.
At press time, the eager-Bulls had just
received an invitation to participate in the
sectional elimination tourneys at Rudierford, N. J., success in which would mean
participation in the National Invitation
Tourney in the late spring. The University
accepted the invitation promptly.

TWO GREAT CAGE TEAMS IN UNIVERSITY HISTORY
Now
In breaking a record of 20 years'
standing, the 1951-52 basketball Bulls
chalked up a record of 18 victories in
a 24-game campaign.
Senior Hal Kuhn and freshman Jim
Home coupled points per game averages of 20.2 and 16.3 with Howie
Johnt's 9.8 to lead the highest scoring

Then
Setting one record that was to stand
for 20 years, and another that is yet
to be matched, made the University's
1930-31 basketball team the most
memorable in local cage history. Until
this year, their record of fifteen wins
in one season remained unchallenged.
Still to be matched is their undefeated

season.
Leonard E. Schrag, BS(Bus)'3l,
was top scorer of that epic club with
an average of 11.4 points per game,
and he was closely followed by Edmund E. Malanowicz, BS(Bus)'32,
with a 10.7 average, and Robert P.
Harrington, LLB'32, with 8.1.
At season's end, the '30-'3l Bulls
under Art Powell's able coaching
numbered Cornell, Carnegie Tech,
Niagara, Rochester, and 11 other traditional rivals as their victims. Averaging a phenomenal 46.6 points per
game, as opposed to 26.1 for their opponents, the Bulls hit a high of 59
points in their season's windup against
Rochester, a surprising total for the
days of the center jump.
Success was evidently their byword because each team member has
gone on to gain recognition in his
field of study. Harrington and Harold
A. Dautch, BS(Bus)'32, LLB'37, are
practicing lawyers; Schrag and Julius
Hoffman, LLB'33, are now successful
accountants; Malanowicz is a high
school principal; Arthur G. Rauscher,
DDS'3S, is practicing dentistry in
Skaneatles, N. Y.; and Thomas J.

team ever to wear the Blue and
White.
Washington &amp; Jefferson, Connecticut, Niagara, and Bucknell were their
"favorite" victories as these modern
eager-Bulls averaged 74.8 points per
game and twice passed the 100 mark
with 108 against Ontario Aggies and
106 against McMaster.
Countering their lack in heighth, in
a game where a six-footer is considered short, was their blazing fast
break and a phenomenal 40.1 shooting percentage. Coach Mai Eiken's
team was a constant threat, capable
of "exploding" for as many as eight
points in less than 30 seconds to turn
the tide in their favor.
Although racked with injuries and
hampered by bad colds, the Bulls did
accept a post season tournament bid
and pushed the New Jersey State
champions, Fairleigh-Dickinson College, to the final three minutes before
succumbing 63 to 55. Those 8 points,
incidentally, represented the widest
point spread in any of the '51-'52
Bulls' six defeats.
Pictured below is the '51-'52 squad
which so ably emulated the team of
20 years ago. They are, from left to
right, front row, kneeling, Rooney,
Johnt, Craft, Home, and Kuhn; back

Ramming, Donaldson, Riley, Gicewicz, Thorn, Scamurra, Schrutt, Muto,

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

Development Campaign and the Loyalty Fund
How do the current Development Campaign and the Alumni Loyalty Fund fit together? Will
the alumni be asked for funds twice this year?
The answer to both questions is this. The Development Campaign is a capital gifts campaign
designed to raise 53,500,000 to finish the Medical-Dental Building and build the much-needed physics
building. Naturally, the alumni of the University will participate in theraising of those funds and,
we think, wish to give generously. To the end that each alumnus may concentrate his giving to that
important Campaign, the Alumni Loyalty Fund will not seek contributions this year. HOWEVFR—
and this is important to those who will want to keep up their fine record of giving to the University
each year—the funds given and pledged to the Development Campaign will also be credited at the
same time to the Loyalty Fund gift record. So, you won't be getting the letter from your class agent
this year but you can bet on it that he's one of the "workers" in the Campaign. Incidentally, those
of you who live beyond Western New York's area will be given an opportunity to participate in the
Campaign in the fall of this year.

�FromCthFeunmditeChairman:
Dear Alumnus of University of Buffalo:
I wish to thank you personally each and everyone who gave to the Loyalty
Fund for 1951. The report for the year is the most successfulin the history of
Loyalty Fund giving. The total number who gave not only showed a gratifying
increase, but the total amount given is the greatest. This demonstrates clearly the
loyalty that the alumni of the University of Buffalo have for their alma mater.
It shows that you believe in the University of Buffalo and what it stands for,
and that you as alumni appreciate the definiteobligation you have to your school.
The present state of foreign affairs is a real challenge to all of us for the
preservation of our form of government, now—more than ever—we should preserve and strengthen those values which are the very core of a democratic way
of life.
Remember that the University of Buffalo, as other privately endowed institutions is in need of financial help and will always need your loyal and generous
support, you as an alumnus can answer this need through the Alumni Loyalty Fund.
It should be the hope of every alumnus that this fund will continue to grow each
year until it fully meets the need. We can only do this by increasing the number of
contributors each year and in continuing to give year after year.
Thank you again for the demonstration of your loyalty in the past and may it
continue in the future.
Sincerely yours.

From the Chancellor of the

University:

TO THE ALUMNI:
You are to be congratulated on the fifty percent increase in the 1951 Alumni
Loyalty Fund over the amountcontributed in 1950.
You will want to know, I am sure, how the 1951 fund will be used. Ten
thousand dollars of it will be assigned to the Committeeon Scholarships and
Loans to be used for grants to worthy students during the coming year. Our student
aid funds are far too meager, and this allocation will enable a goodly number of
students to secure a university education who could not otherwise manage it financially.
The remainder of the fund for 1951 will be applied toward the general support
of the University. After the Medical-Dental and Physics-Classroom buildings are
constructed,the most pressing need will be for increased current support of the
University's educational program.The Alumni Loyalty Fund should be one of the
principal sources of assistance for current operations.
I can report to you that in spite of the fact that our budgets, like those of all
other institutions, have had to be trimmed recently, the University's basic educational program has been kept intact, and modest though inadequate salary increases
have been given to faculty members.
The University of Buffalo has sufferedless than many other institutions in this
retrenchment period for several reasons. First, the University conducts few "marginal" enterprises—its funds are devoted to central and fundamentaleducational
services. Second,we have utilized to the fullest all possible sources of current income, and have held all non-educational expenditures, such as maintenance of the
plant, to the minimum. We are defraying the costs of new construction out of gifts
for capital funds.
The University will always have more needs than it can meet. New developments constantly occur in all fieldsin which we give
instruction,the University's community responsibilities are increasing, and the requirements of industry and the professions make ever
greater demands on us. Throughout its history the University has kept pace with cultural, social,and educational developments and
it must continue to do so, without compromising the high educational standards for which it is so widelyknown.
With the help of the Alumni Fund, and with the benefitof a somewhat larger enrollment than had been anticipated, the budget
for 1951-52 will be very nearly balanced. But it will be necessaryto budget an operating deficit for 1952-53 in order to maintain
essential educational services. The continued support of alumni, therefore,is of the greatest importance.
In closing, let me express the University's appreciation of the wholehearted cooperation that its graduates and former students
have given in the organization of the drive for capital funds.The entire institution will profit enormously from the construction of the
Medical-Dental and the Physics-Classroom buildings. You will be proud of the growth of your Alma Mater, and you will take deep
satisfaction,I am sure, from your part in it.
May I call your attention to the fact that three new dormitories will be ready for occupancyon February 1, 1953. These campus
residences should make the University even more attractive to the sons and daughters of alumni who live beyond the local area, and
to other young people who wish to attend a residential institution.
We at the University hope that whenever possible alumni will visit the campus and call on us in our offices. Our latch-strings
are always out.

1891 ANNOUNCEMENT.
The forty-seventh regular term of the Medical Department of
the University of Buffalo begins on Monday, September £6,
1592.
The college building is centrally located in High street, near
the corner of.Main street, is easily reached from all parts of the
city by street cars, and is one block distant from the General
Hospital.

It has been for
yearsthe policyof this institution to keep pace
with the progress of medical science. The old building having
inadequate
become
in some particulars, a large, handsome
three-story building,covering 12,000 squarefeetof space, has been
erected and will be ready for occupancy at the openingof this
next session (September, 1892). This is the handsomest and
BEST ADAPTED BUILDING FOR THE STUDY OF ALL THE MEDICAL
sciences in THE United States.
It contains in addition to
three amphitheaters, numerous rooms for the examination

of dispensary patients, chemical, pathological, histological,

bacteriological and pharmacal laboratories, and magnificent
anatomical rooms, each of which is equipped with all the
modern conveniences necessary for the thorough and systematic
study of the various branches of medicine.
The college library containsabout 3,000 volumes, the leading
medical journalsare constantly on file, and a competent librarian is in daily attendance from 9a.m.to 6 p. m. The library
has been largely augmented by the bequest of the rich collection
of the late Dr. Geo.N.
Burwell,with a handsome fund for its
maintenance. The college museum holds a large number of
normal and pathological specimens, and students are urged to
make as much use as possible of these facilitiesplaced at their
disposal.

Buffalo is a rapidly growing city, with nearly 300,000 inhabitants, has large and varied manufacturing enterprises, is

the terminus of lake and canal navigation and the leading railroad center in the United States. The facilities for the clinical
study of almost everyform of disease or accident are thus practically unlimited, and students find here the very best of opportunities to obtain a thorough knowledge of practical medicine

and surgery.
The college year is divided into two terms, the regular and
the spring term. The former covers a period of seven months ;
the latter begins on the Monday following commencement and
continues for about eight weeks, giving to the sudent an uninterrupted term of study of nine months' duration.
From 8 to 12 hours are daily devoted to instruction,and

living graduates of the University have
reason to take pride in their alma mater's
record of service and progress in education in the past and in her important
plans for the future.
"I believe that many of our alumni are
enjoying success in their chosen fields of
endeavor because of the training given
them at the University. Surely, they will
want this high standard of training available to the young men and women today
and tomorrow.
"The graduates of the University have
participated in the growth and development of the University in manyways and
have given generously of their time and
money in earlier drives for funds. The

Development Campaign represents another opportunity for them. I feel certain
that I speak for the graduates when I say
that they again will endorse their alma
mater's newest step forward in her educational progress."

Miss Lillias M. Macdooald, University's first and only Dean of Women,
will retire from that position at the end
of this academic year, ChancellorT. R.
McConnell announced this month.
However, she won't be retiring- from
the University. No, indeed!
"Dean Mac" will be associated with
the Alumni Officeafter July Ist and will
serve as liaison representative with the
women graduates, so many of whom she
has known and counseled over a thirtyyear period.
In announcing Dean Macdonald's retirement, Chancellor McConnell stated:
"It is with deep regret that we must accept Miss Macdonald's retirement as
dean—she has reached the retirement age
for administrative office but we are
happy to announce her continued service
to the University as its liaison representative with our women graduates."
Looking back on her 30 years of service as dean, the attractive, soft-spoken
little lady can recall many problems
which the University has had to over-

There were approximately 200 women
students on campus in 1922 when the
dean resigned as physical education supervisor with the Buffalo schools to become Dean of Women and assistant professorof hygiene at the University. One
of her first accomplishments was the establishment of a physical education program in the "old barn" at Bailey and
Winspear Avenues which served as a
gymnasium for both men and women. At
present
there are nearly 1,000 women
students in the University.
Every year since her first appointment,
Dean Macdonald has written emphatically
in her annual report about the need for
dormitories on the campus. In this, her
last year as dean,the dormitories are becoming a reality at last. At the groundbreaking for the dorms last month, she
said, "This ceremonyfor the new campus
residences for men and women is the
realization of my fondest dreams".

This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

The University Development Campaign's first stage is "off" to a distinguished start with one and a half
million dollars of the three and a half
million goal reported on June Ist.
Alumni and friends of the University living outside Erie County are
watching with interest the progress of the campaign in the area
immediately adjacent to the campus.

As one

alum-

nus, a resident of
Pittsburgh, put it

in a

letter to the
Alumni Office re-

cently: "Just keep
us informed on
what the 'athome alumni' do
Augspurger, '37
in this vital fund
campaign. And
let the Niagara Frontier alumni take
care: those of us who live beyond the
immediate area are ready and waiting for our turn to participate in a
nationwide endorsement of our Alma
Mater!"
It gave Campaign Chairman Owen
B. Augspurger, LLB'3", considerable
gratification to be able to write this
alumnus, in part: "Your letter expresses what many are coming to
realize: that the University of Buffalo
is no longer a 'street-car University.
The large percentage of our graduates
who live outside the Niagara Frontier; the fact that more than 23% of
our present student body come from
beyond commuting distance, and the
importance of the University's educational and research contributions to
the national seene—all these indicate
wider service and obligation than we
might have realized before. And these
are the reasons that the University
will definitely make certain that its
non-resident, but obviously faithful,
graduates have the opportunity to
participate in the Development Campaign during the fall of this year."
The Development Committee has
planned autumn campaigns among
branch alumni clubs in those centers
where a large number of graduates
live. Alumni who reside in smaller
areas will have an opportunity to participate by mail. Of course, all pledges
and contributions to the Development
Campaign will also be credited to the
Alumni Loyalty Fund.

UNIVERSITY NEWS BRIEF

theSoft Billet!
A soft job in the military services
something to be avoided rather

than sought, according to a survey
conducted by Dean Edward S. Jones.
Surveying 500 former servicemen,
now students at the University, he
found there was a definite relationship between the academic marks of
the student veteran and his activity
while in the service. The less activity
in service, the poorer student he was
afterward!

Modest Tuition Rise
An increase in tuition to "help meet
cost of operation", was
by the University. The increase, amounting to $25

the growing

announced this month

per semester, becomes effective September Ist and applies to all daytime
divisions except the Schools of Medicine and Pharmacy. While this increase follows the national trend, it
is significantly less than the average
rise in tuition in colleges throughout
the country.

A PORTRAIT

— BUFFALO

FRESHMAN, 1952

Jack Deeriuger
Admissions Counselor
The past decade has brought with
it a change in the type of freshman
appearing on the U. B. campus. When
Norton Hall was the barracks for the
man in training, the army uniform
By

was very evident. The post-War II
period saw the man in uniform replaced by the "returnee" who was

taking advantage of the G. I. Bill of
Rights. And now it might be said
that the campus has, for the most
part, been turned back to the young
man or woman who is seeking to get
a college education directly upon completion of high school.
The freshman of 1952 first saw the
light of day during the depression
years of the early 30's, a period when
the birth rate was comparatively low.
So, there are fewer graduates from
his high school this year. While he
was in elementary and high school,
he was helped in his choice of program and in his general social growth
by the developing guidance services
of the public school educational system.

He approaches higher education
with an eagerness to learn all about
the types of programs offered by the
University. He wonders: "Can I
change my mind after I start a
i course?"; "What are the employment
'possibilities after I finish my college
work?"; "What are my chances of
[jetting into a professional school if I
do well in a pre-professional program
of study?"; "Will someone help me in
planning the subjects I will be studying?"; "Can I earn money while I'm
attending college?". Both men and
women ask these questions. Naturally,
only men make this additional query:
"How will I be affected by the draft?".
Most colleges and universities today are assisting the freshman of
1952 to answer these questions in
many ways. Representatives visit the
high schools to tell about the offerings of the institution. Organized career and college days in high schools
when many colleges are asked to
send representatives have become increasingly popular. Personal visitations by parent and son or daughter
to college campuses seem to be an
effective way for them to get to know
both facilities and programs. High
school students in small or large
groups are invited to college campuses to "learn for themselves".
The University of Buffalo for a
number of years has been joining in
sponsoring and encouraging all these
activities. A further personalizing of
this advisement service was begun
last July when an Office of Admissions
Counselor was opened.
Let us consider how the future
) freshman gets to know about the
great worth of the University. Alumni,
University faculty members, high
school guidance counselors, or enrolled University students may be responsible for the initial contact.

Left to right: Jack Keller, BA'yl, assistant to admissions counselor; Jack Deeringer, EdM'4B, admissions counselor; and Miss Emma Deters, University Registrar.
The Office of Admissions Counselor
serves as a referral agent in bringing
the University closer to the high
school senior. When the future freshman comes to campus for the first
time, he is usually directed to this
office. After a chat with one of the
counselors, he is referred to the dean
of one of the divisions, or to the Personnel Office for advisement, or to
the Registrar's office if he is not directly out of high school. Through
these conferences and a tour of the
campus with a student host, parent
and prospect alike can get an intimate understanding of the educational
offerings, the facilities, and campus
life.

The application for admission is
then submitted to the Registrar's Office cr to the divisional office in the
many
case of Pharmacy. After this,
of the campus services may again be
brought into the picture in arranging
the whole process of getting ready for
entrance on September 15, 1952.
The freshman of 1952 will be associating with many whose homes are
not in the immediate area around
Buffalo. Among those already accepted for the next freshman class are
many from the metropolitan area of
New York City and Long Island. Canadian students are also increasing in
number. New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Virginia, Ohio, and a number of foreign countries will have natives on
campus this next year as freshmen.
With the new campus residences for
students which will open in February
1953, the University can attract students from almost anywhere in the

country because alumni and nonalumni parents will know that the
University will be responsible for
their sons and daughters for each 24-hour day of the academic year. Each
incoming class will, of course, be composed of many Buffalo residents, for
the University should certainly recognize its community obligation as well.
The freshman of 1952 can enter
programs that will keep him on campus from two to eight years. The
Division of General and Technical
Studies offers a number of fine twoyear courses, while the graduate divisions of Arts and Sciences, Education, Medicine, and Dentistry will
now all be campus divisions. Even
though he may plan to attend the
School of Law or Social Work, much
of his time may be spent on the
campus.
This fall's freshman class will be
the second class to enroll in the Air
Force R.O.T.C. program. These men
can be fairly sure of continuing their
education to the completion of the
program, graduating as commissioned
officers in the Air Force Reserve. This
gives the U. B. freshman of 1952 a
feeling of security, and he can plan accordingly. It tends to make him realize the seriousness of study because
failure in the program will definitely
affect the future.
The young woman entering the University in 1952 looks toward a program that will bring with it ability to
earn a living. Each of the divisions
offers a wealth of opportunity for the
college girl in this respect. Inherent
in the many curricula is a happy com-

bination of cultural background plus
subjects designed to prepare for earning a livelihood. As women have
moved into busines and industry, the
woman freshman of 1952 now has
many opportunities at one time not
open to her.
The University in its many efforts
to attract young men and women is
endeavoring to bring to campus satisfied freshmen who will in turn become satisfied alumni or alumnae; for
certainly the University of Buffalo
will continue to grow only through
the support of the alumni group and
especially the alumni families.

HAL KUHN GETS
GROSSI SPORTS CUP
Hal Kuhn, record shattering University of Buffalo basketball captain,
was awarded Phi Kappa Psi's Dominic Grossi Trophy, emblematic of
athletic supremacy, at the annual
Block B banquet held at Hotel Lafayette, May 15th.
In lauding Kuhn's outstanding contributions to the University's athletic
record, Dr. G. Lester Anderson, Dean
of Administration, brought to light
that the overall picture of the athletic
program at the University is indeed
an enviable one.
In the post war years, the Blue and
White has built up one of the most
comprehensive and diverse schedules
of intercollegiate athletics in its history and at present is competing in
12 separate sports. In the past 5
years, University teams in these 12
fields have competed 625 times; have
won 420, lost 196, and tied 9, for a
win percentage of 68.2.
Some of these sports are new to the
University's athletic program; some
are revivals of pre-war scheduling,
but all are winning. The stature and
diversity of the program is in keeping
with the University's athletic policy,
and the Block B members typify Dr.
Anderson's statement that "the best
teaching and the best learning in college today is found on the athletic
field".

FRITZ FEBEL IS
NEW GRID COACH

Fritz Febel, assistant professor of
health and physical education, this
month was named head coach of football at the University. He succeeds
James F. Wilson, LLB'2S, who plans
to devote his full time to his law practice.
Febel was assistant football coach
at the University from 1936 to 1942.
During his undergraduate career at
Purdue University, he was named to
the All America squad as a guard. He
holds B.S. and M.P.E. degrees from
Purdue and expects to complete his
doctorate work at Indiana University
this summer. During War II he served
as a staff sergeant with the military
intelligence division.
Coach Febel is a strict fundamentalist and is noted for insistence on physical conditioning of his players. In his
initial season as head coach, he and
his varsity Bulls face one of the
A^k^
toughest schedules ever undertaken by
the University whose foes will include
Colgate, Lehigh, Bucknell, and Lafayette.

CAMPAIGN REACHES
$2,255,000; AREAS'
PHASE BEGINS SOON
At the final scheduled luncheon on
June 26th, in the intensive part of
the Buffalo and Erie County section of the University's Development
Campaign, the total reached was
$2,255,000 toward the ultimate goal
of three and a half million.
The intensive activity in Buffalo
and Erie County constituted "Step 1"
in the orderly progress of the planned
effort. The campaign is now in "Step
2", a two week period ending July
10th devoted to a clean-up of all prospect cards still outstanding.

Alumni president Myron A. Roberts, DDS'3O, presents plaque symbolizing S. P.
Capen Alumni Award to Nelson G. Russell, MD'95, as new alumni president Robert
E. Rich, BS(Bus)'3s, looks on.
The 13th Annual Meeting of the
General Alumni Board was held on
Wednesday evening, June 11th, in the
Park Lane Restaurant in Buffalo.
More than 50 representatives of the
divisional alumni associations and the
alumni clubs were in attendance.
President Myron A. Roberts, DDS'3O,
presided and introduced Chancellor
T. Raymond McConnell, Treasurer
Claude E. Puffer, Dean of Administration G. Lester Anderson, and Development Campaign Chairman Owen
B. Augspurger, LLB'3S, all of whom
spoke briefly.
Chancellor McConnell, principal
speaker, expressed the University's
gratitude to the graduates for their
continued service to and evident interest in their Alma Mater. He also cited
the 1,900 alumni who are working in
the first phase of the Development
Campaign in the Buffalo and Erie
County area.
One of the highlights of the meeting
was the presentation of the Samuel
P. Capen Alumni Award. This marked
the third time the award, established
in 1950, has been given to "an alum-

nus who has made notable and meritorious contributions to the University
and its alumni family thus influencing

other alumni to

follow

his example".

recipients were Dean A.
Bertram Lemon, PhG'l3, in 1950, and
Previous

O'Brian, LLB'9B, in 1951.
Russell, MD'95, received
the award for 1952. He was cited by
G. Thomas Ganim, BS'24, LLB'27,
chairman of the award committee, for
his service to the University Medical
School as a teacher for more than 55
years, for his many offices and services among the alumni organizations,
and for his representation of the
alumni on the University Council for
more than 28 years. The citation concluded with the statement, "He is an
international leader in his chosen profession".
In accepting the plaque which symbolizes the award, Dr. Russell spoke
of the early years of alumni activity
and recalled that he was the son of
an alumnus of the Medical School and
so came to Buffalo "expecting—and
finding—an outstanding school".
Reports of the vice-presidents for
the several areas of alumni activities
were given at the meeting. Director
of Alumni Relations T. W. Van Arsdale, Jr., BA'3B, MA'4O, also reported
on the activities of the Alumni Office.

"Step 3" begins during the latter
part of the summer and continues
throughout the fall. In that phase,
the alumni of the University will conduct concerted efforts, area by area,
throughout the country, and especially in the East, for the Development
Campaign. Each city and geographical area with large numbers of
alumni will be the subject of specialized campaigns so that every alumnus
will have an opportunity to participate in the Campaign.

The first area chairman to be
selected is Charles J. Barone, MD'l5,
who will be general chairman for the
campaign to be conducted in the
Pittsburgh locality. Others will be announced during the summer months.

Commencement Speaker

The third-largest graduating class
in University's history received degrees and certificates at the 106th annual commencement, Sunday evening,
June Bth, in Kleinhans Music Hall.
Chancellor T. Raymond McConnell
delivered the commencement address
to the 957 new graduates and their
parents and friends. His message
stressed that modern universities must
produce "liberally-educated men and
women on whom the future of a free
society depends". He also warned
against "strong influences toward premature or excessive specialization"
which, he said, face American liberal
arts colleges and professional schools.
The Chancellor stated that a
"breadth of view and sense of reason
and proportion" are necessary in all
forms of professional education. In
order to attain this breadth, Dr. McConnell found that "there must be a

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

The picture above is perhaps symbolic
because, represented by these four men,
are the principal groups interested in
and participating in the University's current Development Campaign.

Former alumni president G. Thomas
Ganim is chairman of the Alumni Participation Committee for the Campaign.
As such, he represents the alumni of
all the University's schools. Mr. Augspurger, as general chairman of the Campaign, represents all phases of community, parents, friends, corporations, and
aiumni interest in the success of the Campaign. The Chancellor, of course, represents the University's vital faculty and
student interest. And Mr. Osborn, vicechairman of the University Council, with
Mr. Seymour H. Knox, chairman, attests
the abiding faith of the University's
governing body in the mission and
future of the University of Buffalo.
Occasion for the picture was the luncheon given for alumni club representatives
on Saturday, October 4th, in Norton
Hall on campus. During the luncheon

these gentlemen outlined for the visiting
representatives the next phase of the De-

With the intensive Buffalo and Erie
County phase of the Campaign about
completed, the University now moves on
to several intensive area campaigns in
those urban centers throughout the

where alumni are concentrated.
In announcing the plans for these
area campaigns, Chairman Augspurger
declared: "Perhaps few alumni realize
it, but the University now serves a national community. It has grown from a
University, which formerly sent its graduates largely to Buffalo and its immediate
environs, into a University which now
counts more than half of its 18,000
alumni as living outside the Western
New York area. This means that graduates of its 14 schools are practicing their
professions, learned at the University, in
every state in the Union and in 12 foreign countries.
"In the first phase of the Development
Campaign the Buffalo and Erie County

"You can't do any business,
if you haven't got a band.
The crowd expects a big parade,
and uniforms so grand

Split lips, blisters, eyestrain, ad infinitum
are the rewards and, believe
it or not, the incentives for most college

-■-

bandsmen. The others are all conductors
and only have to be concerned with headaches, sore arms, and an occasional fit
of hysteria.
The University Band has had a long
and sporadic existence in its effort to live
up to our

opening quotation. Having

been first organized in the early years of
the twentieth century, it stands today as
a tribute to those many students and faculty members who have devoted thous-

ands of hours

to insure

its

permanency

on campus.

Many editions of the band have existed
since the University's founding. First of
these was a small group gathered together under the leadership of Dr. Abraham Hoffman of the Dental School faculty in 1917-1918.

Dean A. Bertram Lemon of the School
of Pharmacy organized, managed and
directed what has become known as our
first combined marching and concert
band in 1920.
Many a former bandsman experienced
the thrill of a ride in "Doc" Lemon's
"musical" Ford of those roaring twenties.
It was a fortunate musician who found
room to squeeze in between the tubas,
bass drum and band equipment. The
usual route was from the Dental Building storeroom to the concert or game lo-

cation and police escorts were not prominent in those days.
Travelling today at a much more conservative rate and with a lighter cargo,
the good dean is frequently reminded by
his hundreds of friends of his many
years of band work with the student
group.

Ever present somewhere in the vicinity
of the fifty yard line at drill rehearsals,
Dean Lemon has many a chuckle when
he recalls the first Varsity Band uniforms
which consisted of white pants, blue
sweaters, and knit tassel caps. They
each have contributed a priceless background of experience for our present
marching and concert group, which is
the official marching and academic training unit. Academic credit, now granted,
is based on the successful completion of
at least one year's participation on the
part of each member.

Instrumental in the early growth and
success of the band were such veteran
organizers as Dean Bertram Lemon, Mr.

'

It was a cold Fall afternoon in 1946
that found Gerry Marx, BAMS, and six
musicians in the music room of Hayes
Hail, doing their best to perform a few
Sousa marches. The favorable (?) attention resulting from their efforts could
be attributed to the open window, and
soon there were students waiting to be
signed up. All three of them were quickly initiated and soon all hands were organizing a recruiting campaign destined
to advance the membership to the sixties.
Wallace A. VanLier, Jim Peele, and
Dottie Haas. AH had seen previous
bands come and go and were as determined as the students that this new
group should be a permanent segment of
the athletic and cultural "life" of the
University.

In two years' time, the reorganized
band raised enough money through selfpromotion work to support the team at
all home contests as well at several outof-town games.
Since 1946, several sets of uniforms
have been used, but none have been so
impressive as that of the Air Force ROTC
unit now sponsoring the marching band.
The introduction of the ROTC program
on campus meant the realization of the

long-needed instrumentation program.
Very few students or alumni have perhaps been aware of the dual purpose of
the band. The most prevalent mental
picture has the files of marching men
busily performing at the half-time foot-

ball shows and the cadet reviews. At
least once a year, the bandsmen show
the results of long and arduous study in
their performance of works on the concert stage. These selections range from
the classics to jazz and modern stylings
interspersed with marches from almost
every country on the globe.
Present director of the concert and
marching band is John Krestic, noted
Western New York band director. His
right hand man in the drilling department is M/Sgt. Willis Leach of the Air
Force ROTC Unit who spends long hours
perfecting the miid-pounding routines
which have so impressed the football fans
during the past few seasons.
Maintaining the basic philosophy of
the seven Marxmen reorganizes, the
band is still student-managed, thereby
affording the student an opportunity to
develop to the fullest his traits of leadership and social responsibility in his academe life.
And
if you saw the student band
at the UB Colgate game, October 4th,
'nuff said.

THE 1952 MARCHING BAND

BAIRD NAMED

MUSIC DEP'T. HEAD
Cameron Baird, well-known and talented Buffalo musician and member of a
prominent family long known for their
interest in the University, has been
named professor of music and head of
the University's music department.

Mr. Baird completed his undergraduate
study at Williams College in 1926. Since
then he has studied extensively in Europe
with several famous composers and conductors.

He

has also taken courses in the

University's MHlard Fillmore College.

He has been chairman of the Buffalo
Philharmonic Orchestra's music committee for many years and plays viola with
the orchestra. He has conducted the Buffalo Oratorio since 1930 and the Buffalo
Schola Cantorum since 1945. He has also
been secretary of the Buffalo Chamber
Music Society for many years.
That Mr. Baird's appointment signals
expansion of the LTniversity's music offerings is evident from Chancellor T.
R. McConnell's statement that Mr. Baird
"will spend most of his time this year
visiting other institutions and studying
their music programs so that he can prepare the initial steps to be taken here."

Its Not New

to

the Frosh, BUT

To Alumni and Upper-Classmen, Its "Dorms at Last"

By February 1, 1953, a little more than
months after the ground-breaking

ten

ceremonies, the new student residences on
campus will be ready for occupancy. The
residences are located toward the MainBailey end of campus, forming a triangle with Foster and Norton Halls. The
two men's units are closer to Foster, the
women's unit nearer Norton.
The residences have been designed to
provide their occupants with the most
favorable conditions for study, comfort
and recreation. They will house 149
women and 298 men. Before the final
plans were drawn up, a joint facultystudent committee made many recommendations on all phases of planning. In
addition to two twin-size beds, each room
will be equipped with night stands,
lounge and desk chairs, and commodious
wardrobes.
Each unit has a lounge and two large
recreation areas. Last July the Alumnae
Association of the University sponsored
a theater party at the Lake Shore Playhouse, the proceeds to be used towards
furnishing the lounge in the women's

unit. Other fund raising plans are being
made by the Association to complete the
furnishings of the lounge.
Great interest in the residences is being
shown by the student body. Not only are
out-of-town students reserving rooms, but
also local students who desire the convenience of living on campus, the easy
comradeship of dormitory life and the
many advantages in personal development
in living with a group.
The housing program is a function of
the Residence Bureau under the Office of
the Dean of Students. Miss Dorothy
Haas, Director of Norton Union, is acting as supervisor of residences. In each
unit a trained resident counselor, together with his or her staff, will be ready
to assist students with their social and
personal problems, as well as in their
dormitory and University activities. Residents will share in the supervision of
dormitory life through student government.

The fee for room and board for the
first semester has been set at #325.00.
Students will have their meals in Norton

...

Hall, and it is expected that the expansion of the cafeteria will be completed
for the fall semester of 1953.

A three-day session under the direction
of Acting Dean of Students Jack M.
Deeringer and a student committee soon
made the newcomers "at home" and hep
to the ways and means of getting along
at the University. So well were they a
part of college life early in their sessions
that they held their own "open house" in
Norton Hall. Theme of the party harked
back to the days of their dads and moms
for it was, of all things, "The Roarin'

Faculty You'll Remember:

Roger S. Hubbard
Professor of Pharmacology
School of Medicine

He didn't build a better mouse trap
nevertheless, a well worn path
V^ beaten by friends, intelligentsia, students,
and associates leads to the doorway of
Roger S. Hubbard, A.8., A.M., Ph.D.,
professor and head of the Department
of Pharmacology and professor of applied physiology in the University's
Medical School. This strange, warm,

§_m but,

-

tremendously popular professor typifies
for many the ultimate in the teaching
profession.

When Dr. Hubbard displayed unusual
intelligence early in his educational
training, his father, determined to have
no intellectual freaks in the family, decided to expose the future professor and
his brother to four years training in
mechanical arts prior to his classical high
school education. By his own words, this
exposure has had little evidence of taking;
and the students who have observed his
blackboard symbols will readily agree.
With seven years of high school behind
him, he enrolled at Harvard in 1907 at
the age of 19, graduated with an A.B. in
Phi Beta
1911 and an A.M. in 1913
Kappa throughout. The ensuing years
were spent as assistants in chemistry and
biological chemistry at the Harvard
Medical School and as an instructor in

—

#

biochemistry at Washington University
in St. Louis.

After a hitch as an assistant in the
War Demonstration Hospital in World

War I as "one of the few not to be
commissioned", Dr. Hubbard returned
to Washington University to receive his
Ph.D., the conclusion of the research for
which he blushingly admits has since
been completely disproved. Nine years
later, in 1930, he was appointed assistant
professor in physiology at the University
of Buffalo.
Sought after socially and professionally
by the young and old of the medical
profession, he is a completely diverting
and delightful companion as, of an evening, surrounded by his friends, he
charmingly recounts semi-classical art
works such as "How the Camel Got His
Hump", from a seemingly unending
source.

His profound thinking and complete
preoccupation result in actions which are
indeed amusing to all who know him and
especially funny later to Dr. Hubbard
himself. His favorite pastime is participating in a license number game: his
own creation which according to him is
closely associated with the "obnoxious
numbers game". He studies automobile license numbers constantly in search of unusual combinations. This was all well and
good until the middle '40's when New
York State eliminated the front license
plate, and necessitated Dr. Hubbard's
walking backward to and from work in
order to pursue his hobby.

Another amusing anecdote which he
readily recounts has to do with the time
he was quoted in the New York Times
some years ago. Upon returning from
the International Physiological Congress
meeting in Edinburgh where he was inspired by Pavlov's lecture on "acquired
characteristics are inheritable" and the
results of that eminent scholar's experiments with rats, Dr. Hubbard sat for
a press interview on the findings of the
Congress and the following day found
emblazoned in the "Times" a headline
stating, "Hubbard Says Rats Ring Dinner
BeU".
In class, his lectures are delivered with
a superb vocabulary, a New England
accent, an intense feeling, punctuated by
grunts and facial expressions for emphasis. His ability to present the most
profound and complicated cases in a
manner thoroughly understandable to
students places him on a plane of his own,
and his broad education outside the field
of pharmacology makes him much sought
after in all specialized fields.
Sweet, loyal, intellectually honest, yet
unusual, preoccupied, a conformist in society but not in dress or
mannerism
Dr. Hubbard epitomizes
the "college professor" in many ways. As
one of the most eminent applied physiologists in the field of education, he is an
outstanding example of the caliber of the
faculty of the University of Buffalo.

ALUMNI REPEAT
HOMECOMING SUCCESS

THE CLUB DELEGATES "COME HOME"

The University's 27th Annual Homeheld on the occasion
of the Colgate-U.B. football game, October 4th, can be counted as one of the
most successful alumni events in many a
coming Celebration,

year.

For the alumni October 4th was one
of the busiest days of the year as they
enjoyed a day's program from 10 A.M.
'til the wee small hours.
Representatives of area alumni clubs
opened the day's activities with a ten
o'clock meeting with the General Alumni
Board Executive Committee in Chancellor McConnell's office.
Entertained at a dinner by the Alumni
Board in the La Marque Restaurant,
these same representatives then joined
a crowd of more than 11,000 alumni and
friends as the U.B. BuUs all but subdued
the Colgate Red Raiders in a thrillpacked footbaU spectacle.
The Bulls, underdogs in pre-game predictions by 6 to 10 touchdowns, displayed
such courage, drive, stamina and just
plain intestinal fortitude, tha: they held
the vaunted "Raiders," victors over Cornell the previous weekend, to a scant 13
to 0 victory, and incidentally won the
plaudits of the entire throng in an impressive standing ovation at the final
gun.

The annual

post game party

in the

Niagara Room of Hotel Statler attracted

more than
alumni who continued in
the festive spirit until well after mid300

night.

Harold H. Johnson, BS (Bus) '43, Alumni Homecoming Chairman for the second
year, again counted the day as overwhelmingly successful.
Assisting Mr. Johnson were these committee members: Robert E. Rich, BS (Bus)

Pictured above are some members ot
the General Alumni Board and their
guests, the representatives of the branch
alumni clubs, who returned to campus
for a meeting with the Chancellor and
the Board on Saturday, October 4th.
In what Alumni President Robert E.

annual meeting, the representatives were
called together to discuss alumni organization problems, hear Chancellor T. R.
McConneU in a first- hand account of
current plans and developments at the

program in physical therapy, offering both a degree
and a certificate,
beginning this fall.
Given under the
sponsorship of the
School of Medicine
and the University's Chronic Disease Research Institute, the proMiss Heap

to meet the great
need for physical therapists locally and
elsewhere.
In announcing the establishment of
the program, Chancellor T. R. McConnell
declared, "Functional rehabilitation of
persons disabled by disease or injury is
an increasingly important adjunct of the
medical profession. Success in this type
of treatment is dependent not only upon
a basic knowledge of the normal and abnormal functions of the human body, but
also upon the vitally important team concept for the best interest of the patient.

The three are:
Dr. Albert P. Sy,
PhD'oB, a member
of the chemistry

department faculty
Sy. 'OS
for 57 years; Dr.
E. Raymond Reigel, also a professor of chemistry for 32
years; and Dr. Theodore B. Hewitt, who
has been teaching German in the College
of Arts &amp; Sciences for 29 years.
All three were honored recently at a
special dinner in their honor where
Chancellor T. R. McConnell paid tribute
to their valuable contributions, culturally
and professionally, to the community and
to the University. Dr. McConnell also
announced that each of the professors
has been named professor-emeritus in his
field.

Grants &amp; Gifts
Listed in the will of the late John L.

Osgood was a bequest of $22,500 to be
used by the City of Buffalo for a memorial arch or fountain. A motion by

Councilman Leeland N. Jones, BA '48,
that the money be refused by the city,
automatically gave the money to the University for "general educational purposes"
in accordance with further terms of the
will.
A federal grant of $5,450 under the
National Mental Health Law will enable
the University's School of Social Work
to inaugurate a graduate course in
"Psychiatric Social Work Relating to
Persons Living in the Community".
Fifty technical books describing arc
welding have been presented to the School
of Engineering Library by the John F.
Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation from
its library in Cleveland.
Chancellor T. Raymond McConnell
recently accepted a collection of 22 authentic reproductions of American historical documents known as The Freedom
Shrine, at ceremonies in Clark Memorial
Gymnasium. Presentation by the Exchange Club of Buffalo was conducted
by Whitney Gilbert, LLB'2B.
The sum of $5,000 was provided for
the University Medical School to be put

A four year program will lead to the
bachelor of science degree with a major
in physical therapy. A twelve-months'
course will lead to the certificate of proficiency in physical therapy. The latter
will be offered only to students of advanced standing.
Named technical director of the program is Miss Mildred F. Heap who has
been technical director of the School of
Physical Therapy of the Cleveland Clinic
for the last two years. Prior to that, she
was assistant director of the School of
Physical Therapy at the Medical College
of Virginia. She is a graduate of Ohio
State University and holds a master's degree in physical therapy from the Medical College of Virginia.

Modern Languages
The University recently announced the
establishment of a Department of Modern Languages, combining the Departments of Romance Languages and German.
Chancellor T. R. McConnell announced the appointment of Charles Jacques
Beyer as acting chairman of Romance
Languages, and of Dr. J. Alan Pfeffer,
BA'35, MA'36 as executive officer of the
Section of German.
Merging the departments, a move in
line with recent developments in other
universities, is designed to enlarge the cultural services which the languages offer.

the industrialist as setting an example
which "could well be adopted" by others.
He declared: "Mr. Reinhold has wanted

The

statement

Proportion
reprinted below was originally issued by

the Alumni Fund Chairmen of Brown, Columbia, Cornell,
Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Yale.
We're indebted to these leaders for directing attention
in clear, forceful sentences to the urgency of the problem
which confronts ALL independent institutions and the
thought each of us should give to our participation in the

University of Buffalo's

present

and future.

"For the 250,000 alumni of our several institutions, who
must surely know that the survival of independent giftsupported colleges and universities, as we have known and
loved them, is literally at stake, we have this urgent message:

"In giving to our alumni funds, let us now add careful
thought to our loyalty and discrimination to our impulse.

—

"Let us give thoughtfully and proportionately
in
proportion to our concern for educational freedoms in a free
society, and in proportion to our individual ability.

"Nothing less than that, the intelligent exercise of
judgment and balance in our annual giving, can preserve this
heritage that is ours, and that we hold in trust for generations
to

come."

ABOUT THE COVER
Two men students are pictured in a "mock-up" of sample new dormitory room which was placed in Norton Hall's lobby this month so that
students could see how their new rooms would look when they walked into
them on February Ist. Almost all rooms will be doubles. The furniture will
be new and modern with a light finish. Each room will be equipped with
twin-sized beds, night stands, desks, lounge and desk chairs, and commodious built-in wardrobes. Each of the three new residence halls has a large
lounge and two large recreation rooms as well.

�4 Campaigns Underway
Pittsburgh:

Goldring, '40
Co-Chairman

Woolhandler, '37
Chairman, Medical

Chairman, Dental

Division

The area campaigns, to be operated in
those centers of alumni population
throughout the United States after the
close of the intensive phase of the Buffalo
and Erie County section of the University's Development Campaign, got off to
an

excellent

start

last month in Pitts-

burgh, New York City, and Albany.
The fact that alumni in Buffalo and
Erie County7 had raised much of the
$2,500,000 pledged in that area proved
an incentive to their fellow alumni in the
first outlying area campaigns.
According to Owen B. Augspurger,
LLB'3S, the Campaign's general chairman,
"Alumni of the University perhaps seldom realize that half of their 18,000
members live beyond the Erie County
area. Ifthose alumni duplicate the efforts
of their fellow-graduates locally, the Campaign is assured of success in reaching
its goal of $3,500,000 plus."
Heading the Pittsburgh area campaign
is Charles J. Barone, MD'l5. He is assisted by Lucille Spitzer Goldring, Aex'4o,
as co-chairman. Harry W. Woolhandler,
MD'37, heads the Medical Division;
Donald W. Davidson, DDS'4B, is chairman for the Dental Division; and Mrs.
Goldring heads the General Division.

Grant Awarded for

Anticipatory-Exam
Program Evaluation
The University has been awarded a
59300 grant by the Carnegie Corporation for a study of its anticipatoryexamination program.
Dr. Edward S.
Jones, University's
director of personnel research, will
supervise the study.
Chancellor McConnell, in announcing the grant,
pointed out that
the anticipatory-examination program
was started in 1931
at the University
as part of a broader
study to investigate
Dr. Jones
the articulation between high school and college.

CORNERSTONE LAID FOR 3 NEW DORMS
It was a brief ceremony, but to the
many students, University Council members, faculty, and alumni representatives
it marked the realization of a long-cherished ambition.
The occasion was the cornerstone laying of the first three student residences
to be erected on the campus. Richard M.
Drake, Jr., co-chairman of the student
residence committee, presided at the ceremonies at noon, November sth.
Speaking during the program, Chancellor T. R. McConnell stated, "These dormitories will inaugurate a new era in the
University's history. We have always
been an essentially urban university, but
that is no reason that we cannot be a
residential university for the great number of our students who come from far
and near to take advantage of the University's extensive and excellent educational offerings."

Dr. McConnell emphasized that the new I
buildings are intended to be "residences,

not mere dormitories".
Karr Parker, chairman of the University Council's Buildings &amp; Grounds Com-

mittee, stated that the three residence
units, scheduled for occupancy on February Ist, might soon be followed by one
or more of a similar size and a double
unit which would include dining facilities.
Also speaking during the program were:
Seymour H. Knox, Chairman of the University Council; James R. Buckley, president of the Student Board of Managers;
and Miss Ann J. Schoepflin, chairman of
the Girls' Student Residence Committee.
The University's Marching Band provided the musical program for the ceremony.

"Through anticipatory examinations",

he said, "the superior student, who usually has extra credits from high school,
can, with some additional study and
tutoring, establish college credits. This
allows more time for advanced or graduate study.

"A study recently completed by Dr.
Maine Wagner, formerly assistant dean
of students, showed thai since die plan's
inauguration, more than 1500 examinations have been given, and more than
"5^ of these able students qualified for
college credits. A number of students
have saved more than a full semester in
college, and a few have saved a full year.
"VTe believe that a thorough survey of
the practices here for the past 20 years
will give needed information regarding
the problems and values of this program.
It can be expanded into a more-generalized examining plan for returning veterans
and other mature people who wish to
study on their own but who would appreciate the endorsement of a university
through its credit.
"In the new project we hope to ascertain several things: Not only the benefits
derived by students, but the possible difficulties in attitudes of college and high
school teachers, the kind of publicity that
is desirable, and the best types of syllabi
students can use to prepare for these
examinations."

Gehman Appointed
Acting Graduate Dean
Appointment of Dr. Harry M. Gehrran
as acting dean of the Graduate School of
Arts &amp; Sciences was announced last rronth
by Chancellor T. R. McConnell.
Dr. Gehman, chairman of the department of mathematics, has been a member
of the University faculty since 1929. He
is a director of the mathematics division
of the American Society for Engineering
Education and is secretary of the American Mathematics Association whose offices have been located at the University
for several years.

Faculty You'll Remember:

Dr. Robert

Riegel

Professor of Insurance &amp; Statistics

School of Business Administration

"The biggest little man on any University of Buffalo team", is perhaps the finest
phrase a student could use in describing

"Doc", or which an associate could employ in referring to "Bob".
Robert Riegel, born in Philadelphia,
Pa., is a one-in-a-million personality
whose boundless energy has been characterized not only in fact, but in almost
legendary yarns concerning his life as
scholar, athlete, humorist, author, musician, friend, and family man.
At the age of twenty-two, he already
had acquired a Bachelor of Science degree
in Economics and a Master of Arts, both
bestowed by the University of Pennsylvania which shortly thereafter awarded
him the coveted PhD.
From 1910, the year he received his
bachelor's degree, until 1917, he was an
instructor at the University of Pennsylvania, after which came twelve years as
Assistant Professor of Insurance and Statistics at the same institution.
The facts speak for themselves when
one notes that he had held positions of
great responsibility in both education and
government activities before the doctorate
was achieved, among them the duties of
Assistant Expert, Investigation of Steamship Combinations, U. S. House of Representatives, 1912-14. Appointed as a Special Expert for Shippers in the "15%
Case of the 1.C.C.," in 1915, Dr. Riegel
also spent time as Statistical Advisor to
the Quartermaster Corps, U. S. Army,
and Instructor of Insurance in the Naval
Officer's Training School during World
War I.
Sought after by insurance executives
and statisticians from near and far, Dr.
Riegel has written more than a half-dozen
books relative to statistical analysis and
casualty, fire, and life insurance. Published articles of this widely-acclaimed
scholar number in the forties, many of
them stemming from his experience as
Director of the Bureau of Business and
Social Research at the University of
Buffalo.
Following Dr. Riegel on his tours of
the campus is a task worthy of a track
star in top condition, inasmuch as he currently holds positions as member of the
Committee on Athletic Policy (since
1948); member of the Executive Committee, School of Business Administration
(since 1947); President, University Chapter, American Association of University
Professors; and President of Beta Gamma
Sigma Honorary Fraternity, University
Chapter (since 1932).
His memberships in learned societies
and associations throughout his academic
career attest to the keen, analytical
thought processes which have, time and
again, been a source of astonishment to

his colleagues and
students. A few of
the societies,
chosen from a list
of many, include
the American Statistical Association,
American Economic
Association, Deutscher Verein fur
Versicherunds-Wissenschaft, American Association of
University Teachers of Insurance (of
which Dr. Riegel
was president in
19 39), and Research Advisory
Council— National
Association of
Credit Men. In addition to participation in these
groups, he has been
a Fellow of the
Casualty Actuarial Society since 1921.
Most University alumni still picture
"Bob" Riegel as the cigar-smoking tennis
coach and promoter of the early thirties.
Research by the athletic department indicates that Dr. Riegel was the first tennis
coach to appear at this institution. Visitors
to his present office in Crosby Hall are
likely to see the candid photos of racqueteer Riegel giving his all in what was
billed as the first man vs. machine tennis
match. The machine, capable of returning
balls in five different ways, was the forerunner of today's pitching machines of
the big-league baseball teams. Incidentally ..
Machine 6—Riegel 0.
Although he engaged in some high
school basketball games, Dr. Riegel, lacking what was considered adequate weight
and height, limited his collegiate athletics
at Pennsylvania to an extremely short
term as coxswain of the Freshman crew.
His downfall in that department seems to
have been prompted by the desire to
equip his frosh crew with the best oars
in the boathouse. Trouble was, they were
the varsity competition oars.
Everything would have indicated a sure
win for coxswain Riegel and his crew,
except for the fact that he misjudged his
course under the short-cut arch of a
bridge spanning the course. Crewmen
agreed the oars were just what the doctor
ordered until they scraped the stone
bridgework. This could well have been
the start of Dr. Riegel's interest in the
field of probabilities.
Still an active participant in tennis on
the University courts, he also uses the
Clark Gymnasium pool about twice a
week. It is claimed by members of the

.

athletic staff that the professor's yearround conditioning program is aimed at
maintaining his record of having consistently out-kicked all varsity football
players of the past 18 years.
Actual statistician in the date and anniversary department of the Riegel household is the Professor's charming wife,
widely admired by students and faculty.
Seldom it is that Dr. and Mrs. Riegel
miss a home basketball game or, for that
matter, any athletic competition of the
various teams. Married while teaching
at the University of Pennsylvania, they
are now the proud grandparents of Robert
Williams, son of Mr. Arthur Williams
and Roberta Riegel Williams, who, incidentally, met at the University of Buffalo.
Mozart and Bach have had their place
in the Riegel home when many an evening has been spent with a quintet featuring Professors Farber, Cantor, and Riegel
with violins and clarinet respectively.
Having performed with fraternal bands
and orchestras in years past, Dr. Riegel
enjoys an occasional turn at the clarinet.
His widespread fame as toastmaster for
business and alumni functions results in
a steady flow of invitations, the acceptance of which assures the audience of a
timely subject well presented with just
the right amount of wit and humor at
just the right time.
A sartorial perfectionist whose bow ties
and Beta Gamma Sigma key are as
familiar to this "in-steee-tu-tion" as are
his traits of intellectual curiosity and
forthrightness, Dr. Robert Riegel is a man
of whom the University can well be
proud. As they say in athletics, "He's the
star of anybody's team, but always a team
man."

The

Physics Department

In this age, when science is so basic
to an understanding of the world about
us, it is little wonder that physics has
assumed a new and evidently enduring
importance.
Think of atomic matters, of electronics,
of aeronautics—think of any of these and
their allied fields, and an understanding
of physics is basic to an understanding of
all of them.

The result has been an increase in inand investment devoted to physics
in even- progressive institution of higher
learning in the country.
At the University of Buffalo, especially
since the War, the Physics Department
has increased materially in importance
and size.
Before the War, enrollment in elementary courses in physics averaged 100 students; now the number is closer to 300.
In the intermediate courses, the average
used to be 8 to 10 students and it is now
25 to 30. The graduate students used to
number 4 or 5 but now there are 35 to 40
taking graduate courses.
In the past five years alone, the Physics
Department has graduated 56 with B. A.
degrees, 8 with M. A. degrees, and 2 with
doctor of philosophy degrees. Of the 56
B. A. graduates, 38 have gone on to do
further graduate work, 30 as graduate
assistants or research assistants at Buffalo,
Yale, Cornell, Illinois, Dartmouth, Texas,
Florida, and other institutions. Of these,
10 have already completed work for the
master of arts, 5 have their doctor of
philosophy, and 8 more will have that
doctor's degree by June of 1954. 27 of
these graduates are now working in industrial or government research laboratories, and 5 of them occupy positions of
high responsibility. Of the remainder, 3
are in medical school, one is a science
writer, 3 are teaching, 2 of them in universities.
Increase in student enrollment inevitably means increase in staff. Old-timers
remember when there were 3 full-time instructors and about the same number of
terest

graduate assistants. Now there are 7 fulltime teachers and at least 15 graduate assistants. Of course, shop and attendant
personnel have had to be increased, too.
This growth in the Physics Department
at the University has resulted from factors
in addition to the national interest and
investment in the basic sciences.
First, the over-all enrollment of the College of Arts &amp; Sciences has more than
doubled in the last decade. Then, too, the
establishment of the School of Engineering has meant that the sophomore from
that School must take the elementary
physics course. A decided factor also has
been the development of the graduate
program leading to the doctor of philosophy degree in physics.
Each and every one of these factors
has placed an increased burden on the
Physics Department. The manner in which
the Department has met the new and
greater physical demands made upon it
makes for an interesting story in itself.
Literally every inch of the present
Science Building has been given over to
the physics program. In fact, ceilings
have been raised in certain sections, classrooms have been created from small
vacant spaces, an inexpensive makeshift
"wing" has been angled off the rear. As
the press for space and facilities grew,
the power plant was turned over to research labs, while elementary labs and
some research were moved into the emergency "wing".

Just as the facilities have been

adapted

the new demands on this basic
science, so also have the curricula.
All students majoring in the undergraduate curriculum now take—in addition to advanced courses in mechanics,
electrical measurements, electricity and
magnetism, light, and either modern physics or thermodynamics and kinetic theory
—a course in laboratory techniques (machine shop, glass blowing, and vacuum
systems) and an advanced laboratory
course in which they repeat some of the
classical experiments in physics: measurements of electronic charge, ratio of charge
to mass for electrons, nuclear experiments, electron diffraction, and similar
to meet

experiments.

Research activities of the staff and the
graduate students are principally in the
fields of spectroscopy, nuclear physics,
and the physics of carbons.
Spectroscopy research involves studies
of the hyperfine structure, isotype shifts,
and forbidden lenses in atomic spectra;
molecular spectra and fluorescence; and
infra-red spectroscopy.
Research in nuclear physics centers on
cloud chamber studies of proton scattering, and a group of problems are presently getting under way in measurements
of disintegration constants and energies
for natural and artificial radioactive elements. For the latter measurements, both
beta-ray spectrograph and alpha-particle
spectrograph are planned for the near

future.

The physics of carbons is a field toward
which the Department has devoted its
major resources in the last three years.
Studies are presently being made of the
various mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of graphite and of carbons. These properties are being correlated with crystallite sizes in carbons.
The experiments are designed partly
with a view to testing a new theory of
the structure of carbons developed by Dr.
Stanislaus Mrozowski, who is in charge
of the carbon program. This work will

�be continued and greatly expanded with
the support recently received from the
Office of Naval Research.
Additional research is currently being
carried on in optical and mechanical
properties of metallic films, heat transfer,
and theoretical research on problems connected with spectroscopy and carbon
physics.

And what of the immediate future?
Despite the increased space already allocated to physics, the Department finds
itself almost impossibly crowded.
Almost all of the nuclear work is
crammed into one narrow room provided
by a small, emergency addition to the
building built over the old heating tunnel.
Spectroscopy is crowded into four small
rooms in the basement; the carbon physics
group occupies several small cubicles
built into the old elementary laboratories
(which are shared with the photography
course), some space behind the new elementary laboratories in the Engineering
Building, and space in the heating plant
which houses the new high temperature
graphitizer.
Part of the electrical measurements
laboratory, already crowded as it was, has
been temporarily walled off to provide a
room for the helium liquefier now under
construction.
Space must be found soon for some
major pieces of carbon processing equipment—grinders, sifters, mixers, and ex-

truders.
The administration of the University
and the College of Arts &amp; Sciences has
indeed cooperated with the Physics Department in providing the needs in excellent equipment which makes possible the
maintenance of adequate tools for research
and teaching. Further, every ingenuity has
been exercised to make the most of the

COMPARES EDUCATION

The second annual Freshman-Parents'
Night at the University was held after the
Alfred football game.
A buffet supper was served in Norton
Hall, after which the freshmen and their
parents attended a convocation in Clark
Memorial Gymnasium. Speakers there included Chancellor T. R. McConnell and
James Buckley, president of the Student
Board of Managers.
The students then accompanied their
parents to meetings with the deans of the
respective schools and colleges. Later, a
variety show and social hour was held in
Norton Hall. During the latter hour, the
parents had opportunities to meet and
talk with their youngsters' professors and
instructors.

Dr. Jacques-Henry Bornecque, professor
of modern literature at the University of
Caen in France, is presently teaching in
the University's College of Arts &amp; Sciences
as visiting professor of French.
Campus faculty and students have found
his remarks comparing the American and
French concepts of college education especially interesting. Dr. Bornecque finds
that the French system emphasizes more
the meditative aspect, particularly for
faculty members.
"French professors have time to think
and write on their own because they
spend less time in the classroom than the
American professors", explained Dr. Bor-

"And the French educational system is
very different from the American", said
the visiting professor. "A higher percentage of Americans attend colleges and
universities. French university entrance
examinations are much more difficult than
here. As a result, we get fewer students.
And yet, a French student pays only $40
to $50 tuition a year.
"The academic selection is much more
intense in France and we generally get
good students who go to a university
with a definite purpose in mind. Our
university academic life is very informal.
Students are not required to attend lectures and sometimes I have students at
my home for discussions."
Dr. Bornecque follows a group of distinguished predecessors to the University
for it has been the custom of the College
of Arts &amp; Sciences to bring a visiting
professor from France each year during
the first semester.

THE PRESENT SCIENCE BUILDING

present physical structures.

The increasing enrollments, the new and
apparently increasing emphasis on physics as a basic science, and the necessity of
study in the field to the further studies in
the medical, dental, chemical, engineering, and allied fields, highlight the urgent
need for a classroom and laboratory building on the campus at this time.
A building has been drawn up in plans
which will meet the needs of the Physics
Department and offer much-needed space
as well to other departments for classroom teaching. Such a building will cost
approximately one million dollars and it
has been made one of the primary aims
of the University's current Development
Campaign. If the University is to maintain and extend the distinguished teaching and research in this basic science department, it must find the space for these
activities.

"They

Went to

College"

Based on Time Magazine's Survey

By WILLIAM

BENTINCK-SMITH

That elusive creature, the American
college graduate, has long been a figure
of myth. In one generation our folklore pictured him as a well-bred snob
and her as an intellectual Feminist;
after the first World War he used to
wear a raccoon coat and drive a Stutz
Bearcat, and she rolled her stockings
and let her overshoes flap; in the thirties
he was a wild-eyed radical and she his
free-thinking partner; and then the G. I.
Bill brought him back to college wearing his suntans, while she, like as not,
was his hardworking GI bride, mixing
domesticity with the Vale of Academe.
But that large and important segment
of our population—the 6 million graduates of our 1,300 institutions of higher
learning, each one an individual—obviously cannot be typed so easily. The
nearest anyone has come to a composite
portrait is a survey, recently completed
by Time Magazine and just published by
Harcourt, Brace &amp; Co. (They Went to
College by Ernest Havemann and Patricia
Salter West). This book dissects and
analyzes a considerable sampling of this
significant stratum of American society
and discusses what it is and how it behaves.
The composite picture looks something
like this: the college graduate is most
likely to be a married businessman about
37 years old, with at least one child, a
home-owner in a city or town in the
East or the Midwest. He may very well
come from a college family; he more
than likely worked his way through college, in whole or in part; and whatever
else he may be, he is pretty well off in
comparison with the rest of his fellow
countrymen. He's very conservative in
his political opinions; he believes firmly
in American participation in world affairs; he's tolerant on racial and religious
issues; he's a Protestant and thinks that
religion has something to offer this materialistic age; he claims to go to church
fairly regularly. He normally votes Republican but has a tendency toward political independence. If he had to do it
over again, he would go back to the same
college from which he graduated and his
only change of mind about the place
would probably be in the courses he took.
Our composite portrait turned out to
be male because there are more of him.
If the subject were female, she would, it
is pleasant to report, be a full-time housewife with many of the same social characteristics as her male counterpart. She's
doing very well at marriage; she's a regular participant in civic and social ac-

tivities; she exercises her vote at the polls
and is having just as full an intellectual
life as the college career woman, and presumably a considerably richer life than
the non-college woman.
The Graduate Dissected
But, of course, a composite portrait
only shows the man or the woman of
whom there are more than any other type
in the college graduate population. In a
crowd of 6 million people there are 6
million individuals. Now that a college
degree has become commonplace, the college graduates constitute an important
bloc of American public opinion and occupy a significant place in American
society. Just what are these college
graduates? What has college done to
them? And was college worthwhile for
them ?
Ernest Havemann, the author of the
survey, begins with five statistically significant generalizations about college
graduates—both male and female:
(1) There are many more young
people than old in the graduate population. Three out of every five college graduates is in the twenties or thirties, and
the median age is 36.9 years. Less than
one out of five is past fifty; and only
slightly more than one out of five is in
the forties. Only fifteen out of every
thousand received their degrees before
1900.
(2) Just about three out of every five
college graduates are men. Are the
William Bentinck-Smith is editor of the Harvard Alumni Review.
Time's study began as a reader survey, for 77
percent of the readers of Time are collegetrained. The inquiry resembled very closely the
1940 survey sponsored by Time, the results of
which were published in 1941 (The U. S. College Graduate by F. Lawrence Babcock). The
statistics for the current study were assembled
under the direction of Dr. Robert K. Merton
of the Bureau of Applied Social Research at
Columbia University. The project was undertaken by Patricia Salter West for a Columbia
doctorate and involved two years' work correlating 90.640 IBM cards. A total of 1,229 degreegranting institutions were asked to supply lists
of all their graduates whose names began with
the letters "Fa." Of these institutions 1.037 or
84.4 percent, replied; and from the names thus
accumulated was compiled a list of 17,053
American college graduates. Time then sent a
thirteen-page questionnaire to each of these individuals, and in two mailings obtained a 59.1
response (a net of 9,064 names, excluding bad
addresses). This sampling was tested statistically, and it was felt that it was a fair and workable representation of the total graduate population. Time's experience has been that the
same marketing research results come from a
sample drawn from a single letter of the alphabet as from a sample based on, say, every
fiftieth or hundredth name from an alphabetized
listing.

women catching up? The picture is distorted of course by the abnormal conditions of the war decade, but there is
nothing to indicate the trend is toward
a fifty-fifty basis. The only group in
which the women are in a majority is
among those under thirty.

(3) Birthplace seems to play a large
in determining the chance to go to
college; at least until 1947 it did. About
seven in every ten graduates come from
one of the 21 states in the East or Midwest and half come from small towns or
cities. If a person was born in the South
or lives on a farm, the odds against his
going to college are great.
(4) The chances are very good that a
college graduate comes from a college
family. A total of 44 percent come from
families in which one or both parents are
college graduates. Nearly a third of the
men graduates come from families in
which at least one parent had gone to
college (in 11 percent of the cases both
parents had gone). Of the women graduates, 16 percent had a mother or father
who was college-trained. "Of all the
people who want their children to attend college the college graduates seem
part

to want it the most and to be best able
to afford it", writes Mr. Havemann.
(5) Contrary to the popular myth, it
is the rule rather than the exception to
earn your way through college. Only 29
percent of our college graduates have not
turned their hands to gainful labor before graduation. The other 71 percent
worked their way in whole or in part.

More than half held jobs after classroom
hours. There are differences between the
sexes in this case. More than half the
women received their degrees as a result
of parental gift, while only one young
man in six was completely supported by
his parents, and more than one man in
three earned at least half his way. "College," comments Mr. Havemann, "has not
been nearly so great an expense in terms
of parents' savings, or of lost economic
contributions, as the folklore would
suggest."

In terms of worldly success, the male
college graduate is very well off. The
Time survey disclosed what might have
been expected: that the great majority
were in the high income levels in the
professions and occupied well-paying
posts as entrepreneurs, managers, or semiprofessional people. "The college graduate holds the key jobs in our society,"
Mr. Havemann says. "The non-college
man

who rises

to

the

top

is

a

relative

rarity. On the other hand, it is unusual
to find an Old Grad who is not at the
top."

�13
In 1947, when the median income of
American men was $2,200, the college
men surveyed had median earnings of
$4,689 (median being that point at which
half the incomes were above and half below). Even more impressive, the census
figure includes interest on savings and
income from dividends, etc., but the survey figure does not. The median total
family income for the college man was
$5,386. Even the "submerged one-quarter"—the 26 percent of the graduates in
the less important jobs—were doing better than comparable people in clerical,
sales, and manual work throughout
America.
Almost from the first year on the job,
the college man is better off than the
average man at the peak of his earning
power (a median of $3,537 compared
with $2,845 of the American in his late
thirties and early forties). What is more,
college graduates get wealthier as they
grow older and the graduates over fifty
are three times better off in terms of
earning power than the average man.
The financial success of the college
men can be judged partly by the jobs
they hold: 53 percent are in business; 16
percent are doctors, lawyers, or dentists;
16 percent are teachers; 9 percent are in
the Government; 4 percent are ministers;
1 percent are in the arts; and 1 percent
are scientists. The big money-earners are
the doctors, more than half of whom
earned $7,500 or more at the time of the
survey. The least prosperous group were
the ministers and the teachers; their
median of $3,584 was below even the
manual class and clerical workers in the
college graduate sample.

Graduate As Family Man
The college man is also a family man.
only
do college men marry more
Not
generally than the average American, but
they stay married. This fact, Mr. Havemann indicates, should be recommended
to young women who are hesitating between a college student and a non-college wage-earner. Time's 1940 survey
found only 71 percent of the college
graduates married, compared with 76 percent of U. S. males; seven years later,
however, the married college men made
up 85 percent of the sampling, while the
proportion of married American adult
males was 81 percent. In addition, 96
percent of the graduates who had married were living with their wives at the
time of the survey; in the U. S. as a
whole this figure was 89 percent.
The college graduate's matrimonial possibilities run in direct proportion to his
worldly success. If he earns $7,500 or
more, he'll probably get married no matter where he lives, but if he earns less
than $3,000 his matrimonial possibilities
run in inverse ratio to the size of the
town he lives in. The smaller the town
in which the less wealthy graduate lives,
the more likely he is to marry.
"Our graduates are not notably prolific," Mr. Havemann reports. "It is obvious that the vast majority are practicing birth control and that they tend to
limit the size of their families by their
income and by the size of the town they
live in. The average number of children
for all our married grads is only two,
which is below the average for all mar-

ried men in America. But, nevertheless,
on every matter, except the production
of large families, they are doing quite
well."
The picture of the woman graduate is
not nearly so favorable as that of the
man, in both matrimonial situation and
earning power, although there are signs
that a college career is no longer an
"education for spinsterhood."
The Time survey revealed that nearly
one out of every three women college
graduates was unmarried (31 percent to
be exact). This figure compares most unfavorably with the 13 percent unmarried
among the American women as a whole.
Mr. Havemann speculates at some length
on this phenomenon and suggests many
reasons, among them the theory of Dr.
Paul Popenoe, the sociologist, who feels
that there is a "widespread tendency of
women to seek to marry above their own
level, and of men to seek to marry below."

Mr. Havemann found that the likelihood of marriage varied among religious
groups. Only 23 percent of the Jewish
women graduates were unmarried compared with 31 percent among the Protestants and 48 percent among the Catholics.
The Time survey also showed that there
was a strong correlation between spinsterhood and earning one's own way
through college. On the other hand, the
figures tend to explode some of the
popular opinions about college women,
for there was no appreciable difference
in marriage-ability among the ones who
got very good marks, the all-around
girls, or the girls who were "big women
on campus." The group that seemed to
have the least chance of matrimony were
the "girls who just sat there" and got
neither very good marks nor participated
in campus activities. The graduates of
women's colleges reported the largest
proportion of unmarried women (47 percent), but in their cases it appeared to

women graduates. The college woman's
median income is $2,689, compared with
the man's 54,689. Two out of every three
college career women are earning less
than $3,000 a year, compared with \4
percent of the male graduates. There are
practically no college women in the high
salary brackets. Although the college
career women's income is two and a half
times better than that of the U. S. working woman, asserts Mr. Havemann, "compared with the Old Grads, they were
nowhere."
Part of the answer is in the job situation, and Mr. Havemann offers many
other possible reasons. The typical college career woman is a teacher (59 percent reported to be in the field of education); only 26 percent are in the business
field; and a bare 6 percent are in medicine, law, or dentistry, three of the highest paying professions.
It will not help the much-maligned
teaching profession in recruiting new adherents from the colleges to learn that
the Time survey found "that the student
who trains herself to be a teacher is by
far the most likely to wind up as a
career woman for the rest of her life
i.e., as a permanent spinster." In fact,

.

—

remarks Mr. Havemann, "the figures
show that there has been as great a correlation between spinsterhood and trainfound ..
ing for schoolteaching as
between spinsterhood and Catholicism,
or spinsterhood and working one's way
through school."
Those who stick by their careers, however, do pretty well. In the age group
over forty, 91 percent had attained positions as executives or professionals, and
only 9 percent held rank-and-file jobs.
Of this same age group, 47 percent were
earning $3,000-4,999, and 8 percent were
making 55,000 or better.
Alumna and Marriage
The statistics show that the former
college girl is "doing pretty well at marriage—and, in every respect except the
number of children, has a more stable
married life than the average woman.
Any theoretical fears that college might
make a woman unfit for matrimony seem
to be thoroughly dispelled by the facts."
The married college woman turns out
to have just about as much spare time
as the career woman. She keeps up with
current books and magazines, she belongs to civic and social organizations
in slightly fewer numbers, but she is a
more regular attendant than her career
sister. "All in all," concludes Mr. Havemann, "the college housewife comes off
pretty well. The evidence is that the college career woman does not lead nearly
as glamorous or influential a life as is
sometimes supposed—and that the college housewife, on the matters we have
been able to measure, is not nearly so
harried in fact as she is sometimes made
to appear in fiction."
As proof of this generalization, the
Time survey disclosed that only one in
four graduate housewives and one in five
career women had two hours or less
leisure on a given weekday. One third
of the housewives and the same proportion of the career women reported five
or more. The younger housewives were
the busiest (27 percent of those in the

...

be a matter of age, for there was no significant difference in comparing graduates of women's colleges and graduates
of coeducational institutions in the age
groups over thirty.
"Spinsterhood," writes Mr. Havemann,
"is an outstanding characteristic of our
women graduates, young as well as old.
But our evidence indicates that the trend
is away from it. Among our graduates
the career woman seems to be giving way
to the housewife, slowly but surely."
While there are many more old maids
in every age group of college graduates
than among the population at large,
there is a sharp difference in the direction of the trend. Among the general
population the direction is downward
from 25 percent in the group under
thirty, to 11 percent in the thirties, to 8
percent in the group over forty. The college figure drops sharply in the twentythirty age group, rises noticeably in die
forties, and then spectacularly among
those in the fifties. The older generation
of college women "casts her weight on

the side of spinsterhood"; today's college
woman is a different breed.
The Time survey also provides some
fascinating material on the old question
of marriage versus career. At least half
the women, whether married or not, were
working. Of the married women 12 percent were full-time housewives; and 19
percent were working wives. The career
women (unmarried job-holders) were 31
percent of the sample; and 8 percent
were graduate students, widows, retired,
or unemployed.
The college career woman ranks among
the uppercrust in job prestige in over-

whelming numbers, the Time survey
found. While there are not nearly so
many women proprietors, managers, and
executives (the proportion was 12 percent, compared with 23 percent for the
men), more than two out of three career
women are engaged in professional jobs.
In the small fry jobs there are nearly as
few women as there are men graduates.

hours or more free time.
And what of those who try to mix
home and a career? Mr. Havemann
develops the hypothesis that "once a
working wife, always a working wife."
The woman college graduate who has a
child early in marriage is unlikely ever
to go back to work and, with each succeeding child, the chances of job-holding
decrease further. "Motherhood and careers
prove to be quite incompatible. Motherhood militates against the career—and
the job militates against motherhood
In general, and on the basis of what we
have measured, it appears that the average graduate who tried to be both wife
and career woman is not fully successful
either way."
How Radical ?
One of the most interesting sections of
the Time survey is that which attempts
to measure the political, social, religious,
and educational opinions of the graduate
group as a whole. In this analysis of the
figures, Mr. Havemann manages to dispel
a few more myths, particularly the one
about colleges being the seats of radicalism.
"It is easy to see how a college could
acquire a reputation in the folklore as
radical," comments Mr. Havemann. "Indeed it is perhaps a minor miracle that
the college has not been the subject of
even more widespread and more heated
argument. In many ways the campus is
the center of American intellectual life,
and therefore the center of a kind of
mass debate among all kinds of ideas
and viewpoints. It is the business of
higher education, as a matter of fact, not
to bow down before the icons but to
examine them, question them, and where
necessary destroy them. In this process
it is inevitable that occasionally a student
taking a course in the history of zoologywill horrify his fundamentalist parents,
or that an economics student will lean
toward Keynes rather than toward Adam
Smith and therefore send his self-made
businessman father's blood pressure boiling, or that a young woman intrigued by
the behaviorist school of psychology will
shock a mother brought up in a view of
human nature tending more toward
sweetness and light."
In the Time survey the subjects were
asked to agree or disagree with a number
of statements of opinion on a variety of
subjects which bore on their political
and religious opinions. They were then
rated as pro- or anti-New Deal; as internationalist or isolationist; as religious, or
uninterested in religion.
Political Opinions
On the question of the New Deal and
its political program, 64 percent were
found to be generally in opposition and
36 percent generally in favor. There was,
however, a considerable difference in ths
reactions of different age groups. Eightypercent of those over fifty were tabbed
as anti-New Deal; and this proportion
gradually diminished in the younger age
group—7l percent of those in their forties, 62 percent of those in their thirties,
and 49 percent of those in their twenties.
One interesting aspect of this test was the
rather significant group of middle-ground
graduates —25 percent or more who.

..

an independence of political
thought. Only 6 percent, however, could
be classified as 100 percent New Deal,

showed

while 37

percent were

in

100 percent

opposition. "For people considered in the
folklore to be suspect of radicalism, our
graduates are very conservative folk

indeed."
On the question of internationalism
versus isolationism, the college men and
women proved to be firmly on the side
of America's participation in the affairs
of the world. They were rated as 37 percent internationalist, 40 percent in-between, and 23 percent isolationist. Again
there was the question of age. The oldest
group was rated 37 percent isolationist,
and the proportion was reduced gradually
through the age brackets to 34 percent,
29 percent, and finally 24 percent.
Somewhat the same proportions could
be observed in the question of racial
tolerance. Prejudice is not considered

respectable among our graduates as a
whole, Mr. Havemann indicated, and what
respectability it does have is among the
older generations. The over-all rating was
38 percent tolerant, 30 percent in-between, and 32 percent prejudiced. The
over-fifty group rated 47 percent prejudiced; the youngest group, 24 percent

prejudiced.
In answer

to the statement "Religion
to offer intelligent scientific
people today," 91 percent of the Catholics, 84 percent of the Protestants, and
56 percent of the Jews disagreed. Churchgoing, as might be expected, was most
prevalent among the Catholics; four out
of five Catholic men and nine out of ten
Catholic women attended every week or
nearly every week. For the Protestants, it
was seven out of ten men and four out of
five women. Nearly half the Jews never
attended, and one out of eight rarely at-

has little

tended.

How About Grades?
Here are some other general conclusions reached by Mr. Havemann:
The higher the grades you get in college, the most satisfied you are likely to
be with your college career.
The number and intensity of the extracurricular activities you engage in do not
seem to have any effect on your later
satisfaction or dissatisfaction with your
alma mater.
Your choice of a college—large or
small —depends largely on your own likings and your personality. No matter
what college you select, large or small,
rich or poor, the chances are at least three
to one that you will be glad you chose it.
The boy who works his way through
college makes relatively less money than
the boy from the richer family.
Once you go to college, the statistics
show, the chances are almost even that
you will never settle down in your old
neighborhood among your old friends—
but that you will wind up living and
working in quite different climes.
It is hard to keep the college man or
woman down on the farm or to attract
them there.
All in all, it appears that the colleges,
whether they know it or not, have a lot
of little lost sheep on their campuses. To
be sure, vocational and general guidance
is much more common nowadays than a
few decades ago; but the pattern of letters, coming from graduates of all ages,
indicates that it is still too little and not
good enough.
Maturity. This is a good word to ponder, for in the feelings of our graduates
about their colleges it very often seems
to play an overt or at least an implied

role.

They'd Pick Alma Mater
If our college graduates had to do it
all over again, the Time survey discovered, they would go back to college and
almost to a man to the same college from
which they graduated. The only significant doubt expressed was on the matter
of generalized versus specialized education. About a third would choose the
same college, the same major, and elect
the same balance between generalized and
specialized training; 37 percent would
change one of these three factors; 22 percent regret two of their decisions; and 8
percent would change all three.
All in all, the figures seem to show a
pattern of greater democracy on the campus, something which educators have long
desired. Mr. Havemann writes:
"Of our oldest graduates, the majority
went to private colleges rather than to
state-supported schools
62 percent.
Among the youngest graduates the scale
very
nearly
tipped
has
been
the other
way; the proportion of private school
graduates has dropped to 53 percent and
the number of public school graduates
has risen to 47 percent. The Ivy League
has been more or less submerged in the
flood; among the oldest graduates there
are three Ivy Leaguers for every four
from the Big Ten state universities of the
Midwest, but among the youngest graduates there are only two for four. At the
same time, the number of graduates from

—

denominational colleges has remained
fairly constant: 18 percent among the oldest graduates and 22 percent among the
youngest.

"In substantial numbers—24 percent,
or about one out of four—the oldest
graduates chose their colleges on the basis
of family tradition; they went to the
school their fathers had attended, and
sometimes their grandfathers as well.
Among the youngest graduates, this proportion has dropped to 15 percent. The
proportion who mention low cost and an
opportunity to work one's way has meanwhile risen from 34 percent to 44 percent. More young people have been receiving help in the form of scholarships
—a third of the most recent graduates,
compared to only a fourth of the oldest
ones. And more have been working their
way. The proportion of men earning at
least some of their expenses has always
been quite high; it was 75 percent among
the oldest graduates and has risen to 81
percent among the youngest. Among

women, where the figure was much lower
to begin with, it has jumped in spectacu-

lar fashion; among the oldest graduates
it was only 36 percent, while among the
youngest it is 66 percent.
"The college man and woman of today
do not necessarily come from a privileged
family; the degree is hardly a guarantee
of social background. And more and more
students, as their social and economic
background became more varied, are
thinking of college more and more as the
road to all kinds of occupations in all
kinds of fields. To a sociologist conducting this type of survey twenty or thirty
years ago the graduates would have been
very easy to find—just by looking in the
schoolrooms, the doctors' and dentists'
offices, the law firms and the engineering
branches of' industrial firms, one could
have rounded up most of them in a hurry.
Today the search is much more difficult—
and probably two decades hence one will
hardly know where to start looking, much
less when to stop."

'52 ELEVEN "A GREAT TEAM"
The football-Bulls lost them all, but
one.

And yet, ask anyone—the alumni-fans,
the students, the citizen-fans, the sports
writers, and the educators—the 1952
varsity football season can be counted one
of the most successful in the University's
history.
Entering this fall's campaign, the Bulls

had a

new coach, a new system, a com-

pletely depleted squad, and the most ambitious schedule in many a year.
Things looked black on even the brightest days. Colgate, Lehigh, and Bucknell
pre-season selections by the "experts" as
the strongest independents in the East—
were to be met on successive weeks.
Things looked blacker.
The skeptics, however, weren't figuring
the spirit, drive, personnel, or coaching
of the Bulls. Although each contest
seemed tougher, the Bulls gained strength
as the season wore on and, even in a
losing cause, their intestinal fortitude
gained the praise and admiration of all of
Western New York.
Fritz Febel, appointed to the head
coaching position last spring, started from
scratch September Ist to install a newsystem with but three weeks before his
season's opener. He quickly instilled confidence and determination in his charges
and, through two-a-day sessions, sevendays-a-week, rounded them quickly into

—

shape.

was a race against time, and the time
was too short. The first two games consequently were marked with mistakes and

It

sprinkled with fumbles typical of a
"green" club, but they were proving
grounds for the big games to come.
Homecoming, October 4th, found the
Bulls up to 50 point underdogs to Col-

gate—and no takers. After 60 minutes of
play however, the store was 13 to 0 and
the Bulls were moral victors, if nothing

else.
The succeeding weeks proved more of
the same. Buffalo lost, affording to score,
but throughout Western New York were
hailed as victors. The big teams came in;
ihey won, but the Bulls were glorious in
defeat.
Seniors Bob Ray and Cas Kania, halfbacks, piled up yardage through nonexistent holes. Joe Shanabrook, limping
throughout the season, held together with
tape and sheer personal fortitude, hit receivers and called the plays when he
shouldn't even have been on the field.
Captain Buz Buzzelli, a tackle, and guards
Ray Chamberlin and Tom Radich, gave
away a minimum of twenty pounds per
game, but made their presence felt for a
full 60 minutes. Ends Joe Papsidero and
Andy Podlucky also were standouts in a
losing cause. In fact, each of Febel's
squad of 27 could be singled out as contributing superlative performances.
Yes, Buffalo lost them all but one.
But an under-manned squad, that never
said "die" in eight successive weeks, won
much more than any single game in the
eyes of the alumni, the students, and plain

Joe Fan.

The 1951-52 edition of the University's
Cager-Bulls was the best aggregation to

the Blue
and White in some
20 years. Their 18
and 5 record surpassed all previous
seasons' win totals
by three games, and
their invitation to
the NAIB elimination tourney tapped
the greatest season
in Coach Mai Eiken's University cage
career.
Coach Eiken
The *51-'52 team
was a short team,
with most
height
manpower,
short in
and
of the scoring punch bunched in the first
squad.
Two of
four of the eleven man
these first four have gone and with them
a cumulative game average of better than
30 points per game. Their replacement
presents Mai Eileen's big problem this
year.
Back again is last year's freshman sensation, Jim Home, who, although hampered by injuries for the better part of
the season, averaged 17 points per game
and set up just as many more. Jim
Rooney and Dick Riley, two steady guards
with speed to burn, and "Big Dan" Craft,
a regular, complete the nucleus Eiken has
for this season.
Eiken plans the same race-horse, fastbreak style of last year. Anthony and
Craft at 6'4" add some needed height,
and the club can move, so once again the
Blue and White rooters can expect a fast
and flashy club with a good scoring
represent

punch.

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

ABOUT THE COVER
Here is a campus scene seldom photographed. You are looking toward
Foster Hall and Lockwood Library after just entering the main entrance
to campus. If you continued around the drive to the left, you would pass
the new student residences and the new Medical-Dental Building on your
way to the large parking areas.

The Chancellor's Report
(A

Digest)

The University Year in Renew

To the Council
Of the University;
I have the honor

to

submit the re-

port of the Chancellor for the academic year 1951-1952.

Enrollment
In company with most other educational institutions, the University suffered a decrease in enrollment, although the decline was somewhat less
than expected. The total enrollment
in the day divisions of the University,
exclusive of the Summer Session, was
5170,in comparison with 5892 in 1950--51,or a decrease of a little more than
12%. The enrollment in Millard Fillmore College declined from 5914 to
4877,or 17.5%. Summer Sessionregistration, on the other hand, increased
9.6%. The total enrollment in the entire University for the year dropped
from 12,496 to 11,588, a decrease of
7.5%. The enrollment will probably
continue to decline for another year
or two, after which it will again start
upward. By 1960 the total enrollment
will probablysurpass that of the peak
in 1948-49.
The University will be strained to
provide the necessary buildings,equipment, staff, and the underlying financial support to take care of this
inevitable expansion. A new classroom
building, including modern physics
laboratories, must be provided in the
next two years.

Educational Developments
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences
Enrollment in the Graduate School
of Arts and Sciences increased from
562 in 1950-51 to 759 in 1951-52,including students registered in the

Summer Session of 1951 and in Millard Fillmore College. The largest increase in graduate enrollment was in
engineering, with 232 prospective candidates for the degree of Master of
Science in Engineering. This rapid
increase in graduate study put a
heavy burden on the faculty of the
School of Engineering, particularly
because of the necessity of offering a
large number of graduate courses in
the evening. This program will undoubtedly expand in the future, and
will require a larger graduate faculty,
additional laboratory facilities, and
more adequate counseling and thesis
guidance.
Graduate work, particularly at the
Ph.D. degree level, is the most expensive education providedby the University. The need for graduate study
in this area will grow enormously in
the next decade, and the University
will have to make strenuous efforts to
provide the necessary financial support.

tain that every member of the class
secures small group instruction in the
solution of legal problems similar to
those he will encounter in practice.
The first year orientation program
was continued and improved. By dividing the freshman class into small
groups it is possible to give students
who are faced with a new vocabulary,
a different method of teaching, and
unfamiliar subject matter the personal attention and orientation they
so badly need at the outset of their
law school experience.
The Law School library was weak
in three areas:
periodicals, textbooks, and statutory material. To
strengthen the library in these fields
a special appropriation of $5000was
made early in the year, and it is expected that additional special grants
will be made from time to time until
the deficiencies are removed. In the
next year or two it should be possible
to bring the library to a desirable
standard.

School of Education
Since it was established in 1932,the
School of Education has awarded 1504
degrees and certificates. During that
period 686 Master of Education degrees have been granted. The first
Doctor of Education degree was conferred in 1948. The number of candidates for this degree has increased
very rapidly, and in the future a large
part of the work of the Schoolof Education will be at the doctorate level.
Law School
Two important changes were made
in the curriculum of the Law School.
The senior seminar work was rearranged to include problems courses,
the purpose of which is to make cer-

Medical School
The Medical School also gave special attention to the guidance of first
year students. During the previous
year, Dr. Edward M. Bridge inaugurated a counseling program in which
small groups of students worked
closely with members of the medical
faculty drawn from the basic medical
sciences and the clinical departments.
This plan was extended to second
year students. The faculty members
involved in this counseling program
meet in seminars to discuss problems
of curriculum and instruction. As a
result of this study significant changes
will undoubtedlybe made in the medical curriculum. For example, a fresh-

Meeting in small groups, first year
students will have an opportunity to
see patients and to discuss the clinical
significance of their courses in the
basic sciences. Introducing the student to the patient immediately is not
only a means of motivation; it is also
an attempt to understand the individual in relation to his environment.
This emphasis is an example of the
modern effort to understand the
process of human development, to see
disease in relation to individual growth
and adjustment, and to stress the preventive aspects of medicine.
Chronic Luxta-i* Research Institute
The first patient was admitted to
the Chronic Disease Research Institute on May 1. 1951. The program of
the Institute is now divided into four
parts the Chronic Disease Research
section, the Alcoholic Information and
Rehabilitation Center, the Department
of Physical Rehabilitation, and the
Respirator Center. Plans are under
way to open an auditory center and
to establish a curriculum in physical
therapy.

for Medical Education
The teaching hospitals associated
with the Medical School, the Chronic
Disease Research Institute, the Roswell Park Memorial Institute, public
Rrfsourcfff

health agencies, the University's Psychological Clinic, Speech Clinic, and
other resources, provide clinical ma-

terial, educational facilities and research centers for an unparalleled
program of medical education. Our
future task is to coordinate and util-

ize these resources to the fullest extent in basic and postgraduate medical education.

Dfntal School
A new clinical
program was inaugurated in the Dental School. During the first semester, junior students
were assigned to assist and observe
seniors operating at the Meyer Memorial and Children's Hospitals. Starting March 1 the seniors were taken
off these assignments and the juniors
began to perform actual clinical services in the hospitals. Next year
sophomores may participate in the
program. Thus, dental students will

secure

earlier contact with the prac-

tical aspects of

their study.

Additional Support Required for
Expanding Medical-Ik ntal BnroOmtni
Although the new Medical-Dental
Building will provide .space to increase

number admitted to the Medical
School from 70 to 100, and to the
Dental Schoolfrom 60 to 80, it will be
impossible to expand the enrollment
to this extent until additional funds
for the operating budgets of the two
schools can be secured. This additional support must be obtained to a
large extent from annual contributions from members of the medical
profession, and particularly from the
alumni of the two schools. An average
contribution of $100 per year toward
the current budgets on the part of approximately four thousand alumni
would go far to finance the improvements that are desperately needed and
to make it possible to educate a larger
number of physicians and dentists.
the

School of Nursing
With the approval of the basic program in nursing by the National Nursing Accreditation Service, all curricula
of the School of Nursing for students
or graduate nurses have been approvedby the appropriate professional
standardizing agencies, in addition to
certification by the New York State
Department of Health. During the
year Dean Sengbusch and the Chancellor served as members of an advisory committee on nursing education to the State University. The deliberations of this committee made it
clear that there is an inadequate
supply of qualified faculty members
to staff advanced programs in nursing education, and that at the same
time there is an urgent need for the
training of more nurses for supervisory, administrative, and teaching
positions. Itwould seem, therefore, to
be in the interest of nursing education
in this State for foundations and the
State itself to extend greater financial
support to the approved programs already in operation, and to provide
scholarships or other grants-in-aid for
graduatestudy. From the committee's
discussion it was apparent that it
would be unfortunate for the State
University to establish additional
centers for advanced instruction in
nursing, since this would only divide
the present insufficient supply of qualified faculty members.
College of Arts and Sciences
The faculty of the College of Arts
and Sciencesapproved a new program

American Studies, an interdepartmental concentration designed to provide a broad knowledge of American
civilization. This is not a provincial
program, but one which aims to enable students to understand American
society in relation to other cultures
and other nations.
The College continued to experiment
with its tutorial plan. Approximately
75'/ of the senior students in the College participated in some form of
tutorial instruction. Tutorial methods
in

vary from

department to department.

The consensus seems to be
torial work in small groups

that tuis satisfactory, but it has been difficult to
maintain even group tutorials during
the necessary budgetary retrenchments of the last two years. Everyone
is agreed however, that it would be
unfortunate to abandon the tutorial
program, since this has been for so
many years an outstanding feature of
the College. Only a few colleges have
maintained a plan of independent
study for all students because of its
high cost. It is to be hoped that one
of the great foundations will make a
grant to the College sufficient to im-

prove the tutorial plan and to assure
its continuance for years to come. No
more significant contribution could be
made to American higher education
than the encouragement and support
of the few institutions in the United
States which, against all the contemporary emphasis on mass education,
are determined to emphasize independent study and to make special
provision for superior students.
Anticipatory Examinations
In 1931 the University of Buffalo
inauguratedits system of anticipatory
examinations, by which outstanding
high school students may secure advanced standing. Over the last twenty
years approximately 1500 students
have taken these examinations, with
varying amounts of college credit.
The Ford Foundation recently
gave
certain universities scholarship funds
for the admission of intellectually superior students at the end of the
sophomore or junior year of high
school. The Foundation also has given
assistance to a group of colleges to
accelerate the education of superior
students, either by earlier admission
or by advanced standing. The University of Buffalo may be proud that it
set the pace in this development

The University
And the Air Force R.O.T.C.
by

Dr. G. Lester Anderson
Dean of Administration

As you have strolled casually about
the campus you have undoubtedlyobserved many of our student men in
the neat, trim, blue uniform of the
AFROTC cadet. As you have been to
our football games or such ceremonies as the cornerstone-lay ing of our
residences you have seen cadets on
parade and have seen and heard the
AFROTC band. You know the unit is
now well into its second year on the
campus; but I should like to give you
certain information concerning the
unit, and more important, point out
some of the important implications of
ROTC programs for the University of
Buffalo and higher education in general.
In the words of the military, the
ROTC unit was "activated" on the
campus in September 1951. Ours was
one of 62 units established in colleges
and universities that year. Only one
institution of every seven which applied received a unit. Policies leading
to the establishment of the ROTC
were formulated by a committee
headed by Dean Mohn; but the unit
is now organized as a department of
the College of Arts and Sciences,ex-

cept that the commanding officer, who
holds the rank of Professor of Air
Science and Tactics and serves as a
departmental chairman, reports directly to the Chancellor. This is the
same organization that pertains for
the Departments of Physical Education for Men and Women.

Policy Formulation
The University's policies for ROTC
are formulated and the program is
administered in the same manner as
the University managesits other programs. The Air Force asks for the
unit and receives from us the same
consideration in University affairs as
that extended to any other department. It is true that the Professor of
Air Science and Tactics as a departmental chairman is responsible to the
Chancellor of the University, and as
the commanding officer of an Air
Force detachment is responsible to
the Commanding General of the Air
University at Maxwell Field, Alabama; but this divided responsibility
has presented no serious problem
to us.
The enrollment in the AFROTC

last year was approximately 625. Enrollment in the program was "automatic" for freshmen last year and is
now automatic for all freshmen and
sophomores. The current enrollment
is approximately 1150. It is anticipated that the unit will enroll two
years from now 1500 men. Students
who for reasons of health, religion,
or hardship wish to "petition out" of
the program may do so. Last year
44 students made such petitions of
which 32 were granted. This year 66
students petitioned and 59 were
granted.
As I indicated earlier, the commanding- officer of the unit is appointed to the University's staff as a
Professor of Air Scienceand Tactics.
All other officer personnel are appointed as Assistant Professors and
all

airmen as Instructors.

All

ap-

pointments are made without salary
from the University of Buffalo. The
University is consulted before any
officer is assigned to the department
and may withhold its approval. At the
present time there are 13 officers and
10 airmen assigned to the University
of Buffalo AFROTC.

University Obligations

Dr. Anderson,right, sits

inco-pilot's seat for awhile during flight in Air Force
plane to Alabama.

The University is bound by its contract with the Federal Government
to provide "the office, classroom,
storage, and other facilities" necessary to the operation of the ROTC
unit. The University has provided approximately 7,700 square feet of floor
space in the Clark Memorial Gymnasium for the unit. Most of this
space is in the basement. Slightly
less than half of this space is necessary for storage.
This assignment of space has been
made at some sacrifice to the physical education activities and it is
hoped that an Armory may be constructed on the campus which will
provide classroom and some storage
space. Other than providing and
maintaining space the only additional
expense of the unit to the University
is the salaries of a military property
custodian and two secretaries who,
by agreement and custom, are fur-

�6

nished to ROTC units by the universities which have them.
I have been discussing: certain
factual information concerning the
AFROTC program on the University
of Buffalo campus. More important
is its educational significance to the
University of Buffalo and to the
country.

Educational Significance
The AFROTC program in the University offers to the young men of
this region who enroll in the University the opportunity to secure education and training which in turn will
permit them, as they will almost inevitably serve in the military forces,
to render this service with optimum
benefits to the nation and satisfaction
to themselves. The establishment of
the ROTC unit on this campus then
was done in harmony with the desires
of this community to extend to its
young people through the University
of Buffalo maximum educational opportunity.
The ROTC unit has immediate and
tangible benefits to the University. It
makes the University more attractive
to young men with consequent effects
on enrollment. Approximately eightyfive per cent of the students in the
basic program (the frst two years)
may be deferred on request of the
Professor of Air Science and Tactics
and the Chancellor. This policy of
course gives some stabilityto our en-

rollment

in

these troubled times. It

is estimated that a half or more of
the students who finish the basic
course may enroll in the advanced
course. We shall be able to enroll
seventy-five per cent or more of the
qualified volunteers for advanced
work. Following the successful completion of the advanced course, graduates are given reserve commissions
in the United States Air Force.
But this program has a larger significance. I recently attended a conference held at ROTC headquarters,
the Air University, Maxwell Air
Force Base, Montgomery, Alabama.
Presidents or Deans of all institutions with Air ROTC units (numbering 209) were present. It was realized
by all of us at this conference that
the universities with ROTC units are
working in cooperation with the Department of Defense to educate a
group of young men who in the words
of General Vandenberg "... will
enter an organization which is responsible for the management of an
appreciable percentage of this nation's resources. Moreover, the organizationin which they will serve is
responsible for the protection of those
resources and for the primary defense of the nation itself."

Air Force Aims

It was impressed upon all of us at
this conference that the Air Force
needs young men of the highest
ability and character if the Air Force
is to serve this country as it must. It

looks to the colleges and universities
these young men. The Air Force
expects by 1955 to get eighty per
cent of its officers and some fifty per
cent of its permanent career officers
from ROTC programs.
Thomas K. Finletter, Secretary of
the Air Force, concluded his address
at the conference with these words:
The U. S. Air Force is "no better
than the men who fly the machines
and the staffs that back them up. We
have to get in the Air Force men who
will fly the planes, and men who are
also capable of serving on the staff
and in the higher echelons of comNow I must tell you that
mand
the problem of the personnel in the
Air Force is far from solved. We
have not yet created the kind of high
grade personnel within the officer
pattern that we require. We need
better men. There must be a drive for
these men, the best that America can
produce. It is for that reason that
we have presumed to ask you to
come down here with us. It is for
that reason that we are grateful for
nothing
your assistance. There is
more important in the Air Force than
this program for developing the right
kind of men to come into it."
It was the consensus of the Presidents and Deans with whom I talked
following this conference that the
Secretary and officers of the Air
Force were completely sincere in
seeking the cooperative effort of the
colleges and universities in solving
their personnel problems. The spirit
in which we were approached was
marked by candor. We were uniformly convinced that the Air Force
was earnestly seeking our assistance
in solving a problem crucial for the
national welfare.
Thus it would seem that at the
same moment that universities transmit and contribute to our way of life,
and educate men and women for
leadership and service in the arts, the
sciences, and the professions, that
they must also be equipping young
men with the skills and attitudes that
will permit them to defend this way
of life so long as the world'.; ideological conflicts have and may continue
to erupt in war. Let us then respect
the ROTC program. Let us work cooperatively with the Air Force as it
has asked us to do. Let us finally be
thankful that the Air Force has
called on the universities which are
as much concerned with the character of men as with their technical
skill to provide its officer personnel.

You'll Remember:

Dr. Albert R. Shadle
Professor of Biology
College of Arts and Sciences

Nestled in the trees behind Hayes
Hall is a seldom-noticed, one story
building called the "Vivarium". To
present day students with a revulsion
for four syllable Latin words, it's
known as the "animal house"; to
alumni of the twenties, the "morgue".
Yet, within this building, surrounded by his specimens, records,
skunks, porcupines, guinea pigs, rabbits, and a pet fox, one can find
one of the foremost biologists in the
country, Dr. Albert R. Shadle.
Retired as head of the Biology Department of the College of Arts &amp;
Sciences this last year, Dr. Shadle at
68 retains his übiquitous interest and
evident love for the biological world.
As he says, "I'm even busier than before and enjoying every minute of it.
Now I'm able to get started on the
many things I was unable to get to
in my 33 years as head of the department."

Born in Lockburn, Ohio, the only
son of a stationary engineer, Dr.
Shadle earned his B.A. and M.A. degrees from Ohio State and later,
through a fellowship and a graduate
assistantship, earned his doctorate in
the field of biology. The good doctor
proudly asserts that his education
was paid for byworking as a patternmaker at the top rate of 25 cents an
hour, a skill which he still finds comes
in handyaround his laboratories.
His first teaching post was at Cornell where he stayed only a short
time, resigning in 1919 to become
head and only member of the Biology
Department in the newly-established
College of Arts &amp; Sciences at the
University of Buffalo.
"The equipment in those days", recalls Dr. Shadle,"consisted of my own
records. 32 microscopes, and a thousand slides which I brought with me."
The first real need was for a skeleton and the young professor and his
"department", housedin the old cupola

atop Townsend Hall, "93 steps above
Delaware Avenue," set about getting
one. The process was a lengthy one
in those days; gradual deterioration
necessitated daily drainage, an extremely odoriferous task. It was so
bad, in fact, that on two occasions it
caused evacuation of the Dean's office
and cancellation of the day's classes.
In January, 1922, fire destroyed
"Shadle's Cupola" with its records,
slides, and equipment, a loss which he
still

regrets today.

That fall, the College moved to the
present campus site and the Biology
Department took over the top floor
of the building now devoted exclusively to Biology. Dr. Shadle has
supervised every move and improvement of his beloved department. Its
stature in the College today is testimony to his complete devotion to its
fortunes.
Dr. Shadle, as so many alumni
know, is a dynamic personality with
an intense drive and a genuine personal interest in those with whom he
works. His appearance is indeed that
of the gentle professor and his friends
within and without the campus circles
are legion.
He always has maintained a schedule which included an 8:30 A. M. class
and, some years, has taught 15 hours
weekly. Forever remembered by his
students are his down-to-earth classroom demonstrations which feature

the use of his hat and lab coat, often
to the ruin of both.
Since his retirement as head of the
department, the only change in his
schedule has been the discontinuance
of the 8:30 class. He still teaches, has
added to his research time, and it is
obvious that he is thoroughly enjoying himself.
But, as almost everyone knows,
"Shadle" and "porcupines" are synonymous; one just doesn't think of
one without thinking of the other.
Actually, Dr. Shadle pioneered the
study of porcupines in North America
and he remains the leading expert on
that animal. Although he has not restricted his study solely to that field,
he is best-known for his research and
publications on the animal.
Ask him why he picked the porcupine, and the rejoinder is delivered
with that well-known twinkle and
smile, "Do you know any other animal
with as many good points?"
Like his favorite porkies, it is difficult to find another personality with
as many good points as Doc Shadle.
However, his greatest satisfaction
is the number of biologists he has
taughtand counseled into outstanding
achievements in the diverse fields of
biological research and teaching". He
is proud of his "boys and girls" who
went on to distinction in the field and
he never is happier than when they
return to visit with him.

Modern Foreign Languages at the University
by Dr. J. Alan Pfeffer
Professor of German
is reduc-

Twentieth century science
ing the barriers and boundaries separating countries and continents, but it
is the genius of tongues which penetrates the dark labyrinth of some
three thousand language compartments dividing our "One World."
The modem foreign languages are
the media through which flow the cultural and intellectual streams of modern life, and the study of one or more
of them is a source of light in a Babel
of distrust and misunderstanding. A
knowledge of French or German or
Spanish, of any foreign tongue, moreover, is a part of the equipment of all
who lay claim to a liberal education,
for it quickens the imagination and
opens vistas to an appreciation of
broader human experience.
Recognizing the growingimportance
of the modern foreign languages in
the age of the atom, the University
now provides, under the aegis of the
Modern Language Department and
its Germanic and Romanic Sections,

courses in Russian, in addition to
French, German, Italian, and Spanish.
Chinese and Polish are given periodically through the Evening Session,
and Swedish and Dutch may sometime soon be added to the daytime
schedule.
With the influx of language-conscious Gl's the averageprewar enrollment in the modern foreign languages
jumped from approximately 350 to
1650 in 1947 and still hovers around
650. As in the past, a great many of
the undergraduates now taking languages are primarily interested in
meeting- certain departmentalrequirements. Others want to be able to read
the foreign literatures in their fields.
But there is an increasing number of
those who are keenly aware of the
more practical aspects of learning a
modern foreign language and prefer
to study German or Russian with an
emphasis on the spoken ivord and the
area or the country in which it is
used. Their needs are being met, in
part, by elementary language and
area courses in the Summer Session.
It is hoped that, beginning with the
fall semester in 1953, all students in
elementaryand intermediate language
classes will have an opportunity to
add, on an optional basis, two labora-

When plans for Foreign Area
Studies—now in the drafting stage
—are realized, students will be in a
position to pursue programs which
coordinate the study of history, government, geography, geology, economics, sociology and philosophy with
that of the language and literature of
a country or an area. The position of
the United States in the eyes of the
world depends in increasing measure
on experts in foreign languages and
areas. Several recent U. B. graduates
in German, French and Spanish are
already serving or preparing to serve
our Government in such a capacity.
According to the median scores
made on the Army General Classification Test by graduates in 20
fields,
America's brightest people are now
most drawn by the physical sciences,
engineering, law, English, and the
foreign languages. In the past five
years 71 students at U. B. received
B.A. and M.A. degrees in French,
German, or Spanish. Some of them
are now teaching in secondary schools
and colleges. A creditable number of

them are continuing their studies. At
present graduates in German are
Teaching Fellows at the University of
Buffalo, Syracuse, Cincinnati, Minnesota, and Michigan. Holders of the
B.A. in French or Spanish are engaged in advance studies at Harvard,
Michigan, Wisconsin, and elsewhere.
Mounting inquiries about graduate
work leading to the doctorate in Germanics or the Romance languages at
the University of Buffalo suggest a
growingneed for programs leading to
the PhD. The foreseeable spread of
the study of modern languages to the
grade and junior high schools means
large numbers of avid students of
language in college a few years hence
and calls for new patterns in teacher
training. To meet these challenges
and to implementthe effectiveness of
the University's language offerings
preparations must be made now. The
library facilities must be greatly enlarged. A modern language reading
room with adjoining quarters for
seminars are also a "must", as is a
well-equipped audio-visual language
laboratory. With these will come
greater opportunities for research and
service in modern languages and literatures.
Meanwhile, a grant by the American
Philosophical Association has enabled
Professor Beyer to carry forward his
work on a Documental History of the
Development of Montesquieu's Social
Philosophe. Professor Pfeffer has
completed a German-English and
English-GermanDictionary of Everyday Usage for the American Council
of Learned Societies and is readying
for publication a book on Modern
German Civilization, Composition,

and Conversation which he co-authored with the late Professor Theodore B. Hewitt. The preparation of a
Cultural and Social History of Argentina is occupying Professor Maddock
who also collaborated on a Report on
the Teaching of English in Puerto
Rico, financed by the Carnegie Foundation and the American Council on
Education. Graduate students in
Germanics have published papers on
"Basile and Brentano" and "Lessingana Americana" and others are contributing to a study on Heine in
English.

Therapy for Speech Problems
by Dr. Katherine Thorn
Director, University's Speech Clinic
(Additional Pictures on Pages 8 and 9)

students of the
University of Buffalo was offered for
the first time in the fall of 1949
speech therapy for those who had
speech problems. Such a service had
been envisioned by Professor Stanley
D. Travis, chairman of the Drama
and Speech Department, and through
the cooperation of Dean Leslie O.
Cummings and the Summer Session
office, two short-term clinics had been
operated in the summers of 1947 and
1948.
A growing concern about the problems of students with speech difficulties has been in evidence on many
campuses. Clinic facilities have been

last decade, both at the college level
and also in public schools, private
schools, veterans' hospitals, and guidance centers. An extremely conservative estimate of the incidence of
speech defects, based on speech surveys, is three to four per cent of a
college population.
Since speech is the chief means of
expressing feelings, ideas, plans, and
experiences to others, any serious interference in the ability to communicate orally can affect a person's
social relationships, his feelings of
confidence,his opinions of his abilities,

and his achievement. The more concerned the individual becomes about
his speech problem, the more likely
he will encounter difficulty in expressing himself and so a "circular
and cumulative" effect adds to his

nowreceives a speech evaluation with
recommendations. Students majoring
in drama and speech study speech
pathology and observe selected therapy sessions with patients. Those students who take the course in clinical
methods in speech correction do actual supervised practice work with
patients.
Since training in speech correction

should include work with children and
their parents, and with young people
of high school age, the Speech Clinic
offers services to a limited number
of out-patients. Additional types of
speech problems are encountered in
this work such as retarded speech
development, primary stuttering, and
aphasia. Many local physicians, hearing of the establishment of the Speech
Clinic began referring patients with
these problems for speech evaluation
and therapy.
A special service now available
through the Speech Clinic is provided
for people who have had their larynx
surgically removed. These people
would have no voice and would be unable to communicate without the use
of a "substitute voice." The instructor
of this group learned the method of
esophageal speech or "belching voice"
after his larynx was removed, and he
successfully teaches others this substitute for vocal cord phonation.
During the summer sessions it has
been possible to provide intensive
speech therapy for six weeks to

groups of young people with severe
speech problems. In 1950 an outpatient clinic for stuttering and one
for cleft palate speech were offered.
In 1951 and 1952 cleft palate clinics
were again given and a clinic for two
groups of young children with articulation problems was offered.
Sincemany speech problems involve
the cooperation of a number of specialists, appointments of consultants
to the Speech Clinic have been made
for an orthodontist, Dr. Walter Ellis;
a consultant in problems of the cerebral palsy patient.Dr. William Dugan;
a psychologist, Dr. Egan Ringwall,
and an otolaryngologist, Dr. H. E.
Bozer. Plans for adding consultants
in pediatrics and child psychiatry are
being made.
Cooperation with the speech therapist at the Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and the director of the new Hearing Center is
facilitated though a committee which
has been functioning this year. This
committee is working on the problem
of acquainting the medical profession
and the public as well as various
agencies with the services offered at
these three centers. Since the need
for trained speech therapists is so
great, a plan for a major in speech
pathology has been initiated, and a
curriculum developed which it is
hoped can be included in the offerings
of the College of Arts and Sciences in
the very near future.

tion's yearly program, and is held for the benefit of
the scholarship fund and the alumnae
project to furnish the lounge in the
new Women's Dormitory. Tickets are
$3.00.
As usual, a "sell-out" is expected—
as has been the case each year the
show has been offered.
VirginiaM. Ross, BS(Bus)'49, chairman, announced that a new arrangement for ticket sales has been devised
to prevent last minute rushing and
the "Standing Room Only" sign
which has been used every previous

will be sent reservation blanKs which
should be returned promptly with
checks or money orders enclosed.
Alumnae who do not receive this
mailing prior to February 23rd are
urged to contact Mary Noonan (Mrs.

Buffalo 14, (BEdford 5732), for tickets. Any remaining tickets will be
sold at the Statler on a first-come,
first-served basis.
"Petticoats and Perfume" will be
presented by Evelins Delaware Shop
and Siegel's Millinery with Miss Helen

Is Korean Casualty
Robert A. Bergman. Aex's2, became
the University's sixth Korean Gold
Star alumnus when he was killed in
action on June 22. 1952. Mr. Bergman
was a junior in the pre-medical course
when he enlisted in the Navy in January, 1951.
He was serving as a hospital corpsman with the Marines when he suffered his fatal wounds.
Robert was the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Alfred Bergman of Eggertsville, N.
Y. Shortly after news of his death
was received, approximately 100 of
his friends and relatives banded together to donate blood to the American Red Cross in his memory and, in
the words of his father, "to help the
other boys still over there".

been elected president of the
Goldsmith,

"Our own varsity revue, at last!"
That's what the students are saying
around the campus these days.
They're referring to "You Caught
My Eye", an original, student-authored, musical comedy which is being
produced Friday and Saturday evenings, February 13th and 14th, by the
student public relations committee of
the Board of Managers.
Because it was obvious that ticket
sales were going to exceed the capacity of Norton Union on campus, the
show will be presented at Buffalo's
Bennett High School auditorium on
those dates.
The General Alumni Board has also
endorsed this initial student musical
production and a special committee
headed by Nancy Lou Knowlton
Binder, BA'36, will send ticket reservation blanks to all alumni and the
divisional association officers.
Originally undertaken by the student committee as a project to promote student activities, the show has
grown into a full-fledged revue with
original music and lyrics which depicts college life at the "U. of Z.", a
parody on life at U. of B. Student
talent will surprise the critics, and
the tunes and dances are worthy of
professional productions.
Proceeds of the show will be used
to sponsor a scholarship for some deserving high school senior, and it is
expected that the production will become an annual event.
The student committee is currently
conferring with the General Alumni
Board exploring the possibilities of
offering the show during the next
year in the communities where there
are alumni clubs.

During the year, for insurance purposes, the library made a complete revaluation of its collections of rare
books and manuscripts. It is expected
that the value of these collections will
amount to at least $750,000. New gifts
of manuscripts, letters, and books
were received. Several large series of
letters of Robinson Jeffers, Mark Van

Research Activities
Note was made in my annual report
for 1950-51 of the appointment of a
committee on research, of whichDean
John A. Beane served as chairman.
The purpose of this committee was to
aid faculty members in securing outside support for research projects and
to stimulate a program of contract research with industries and other community agencies. During the year,
grants-in-aid for research activities,
special educational projects, and fellowships amounted to $684,097.51, including the appropriation of the New
York State Health Department for
the Chronic Disease Research Institute in the amount of approximately

A very large proportion of

appropriation, were for projects in

the Medical School.
We may expect a considerable expansion of sponsored research in
other divisions of the University, particularly in its scientific departments.
It is apparent that, in support of its
research activities and in subsidization of graduate students, the University will have to depend more and
more heavily upon outside sources,
including foundations, corporations,
and government agencies.
From overhead charges on research
contracts the University set aside for
the first time a fluid research fund

administered by a committee of the
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
Faculty members may apply for
grants-in-aid from this fund for individual or group research projects. It
would be undesirable for the entire
energy of the faculty to be devoted
to sponsored research, and this fluid
fund should aid in maintaining free

University and

the

Community

Niagara Frontier Convocation
One of the most dramatic and, if
we
take the comments of those

may
who attended at face value, one of
the most successful expressions of
the University's intimate relationships with the cultural, civic, professional, business, and industrial life
of this region was the Niagara Frontier Convocation on December 7 and
8, 1951, the theme of which was "The
Outlook for Mankind in the Next
Half Century."

This Convocation symbolized the intention of the University to strengthen
and extend its associations with the
metropolitan area and the whole of
Western New York. As I said in
opening the Convocation, its orientation "is to the future—not only its
problems but its possibilities. The University of Buffalo, too, looks forward
to new avenues of service to this
great region, to the education of its
youth, to the cultivation of scholarship and the continuous search for
truth, to the strengthening of those
freedoms which are at once the life
of a university and the hope of mankind."
At luncheons, at a community banquet, at symposia, and at great public
meetings distinguished leaders in
government, education, business,
health, science,and the arts discussed
topics pertaining to the next half century. This program evoked an almost
unprecedented response. More than
thirty-five thousand tickets were issued for the several events.
One of the most successful events
was the alumni luncheon attended by
nearly one thousand persons, at which
the University awarded citations to
twenty-three of its most distinguished
alumni and to fourteen other outstanding citizens

of

the

Niagara

Frontier. This was the first time in
recent years that a general alumni
luncheon had been held and there
was widespread sentiment for making
it an annual occasion.

As perhaps no event in the University's recent history has done so
well, the Convocation made the community conscious of the greatness of
the University, of its rich contributhe intellectual and cultural
life of the people, and of its still
greater potentialservice to the region.
Not the least of the University's
values is to provide, as perhaps no
other institution in the community
can, means of bringing together citizens in all walks of life, and men and
women of every race, color, and
creed. The University of Buffalo is a
great unifying influence in a city of
diverse but culturally complementary
groups.
Special Institutes and Conferences
The Convocation was followed by
an unusually large number of conferences and institutes. The School of
Social Work, in cooperation with the
Social Workers' Club, the Council of
Social Agencies, and the American
Association of Schools of Social
Work, held a symposium on "Social
Work Education at the Mid-Century."
The School of Engineering held
conferences on materials handling
and stress analysis, and cooperated
with the School of Business Administration in one of the sessions of its
25th anniversary conference.
The most ambitious series of conferences was held by the School of
Business Administration in celebration of its 25th anniversary. The general subject of the three-day series
was "Problems in a Defense Economy".
The School of Nursing conducted a
series of institutes and conferences
designed to assist staff members of
hospitals and public health agencies
in the consideration of problems in
nursing and nursing education.
The Department of Postgraduate
Education in the Medical School held
a series of special institutes and conferences, including the 31st annual
post-graduate one-week course.
tion to

Other Examples of Community
Cooperation
The School of Education continued
its cooperation with the Western New
York School Study Council, which
conducted research studies and summer workshops. The School was one
of sixteen participating institutions in
the cooperative program in educational administration supported by
the Kellogg Foundation, and it also
continued its cooperation with the

�17
State Education Department in a
study on the prediction of success in
secondary school teaching.
Seniors in the School of Business
Administration again studied specific
problems in a large number of Niagara Frontier business and industrial
firms.
The Law School cooperated with
the Erie County Bar Association in

producing the

television program
Law and You" and cooperated
with the Bar in other ways. The indigent prisoner program, which gives
each student an opportunity to participate in a live case and to contribute his knowledge and skill to individuals and the community, was
continued.
Through the Speech Clinic, the
Psychological Clinic, the Vocational
Counseling Center, and many other
agencies, the University offered valuable service to the community.
Millard Fillmore College offered
twenty special courses for such
groups as the Community Council of
Parent Education, the National Secretaries Association, the Buffalo Council
of Churches, the American Savings
and Loan Association, the Buffalo
Life Underwriters, the Credit Men's
Association of Western New York,
etc. In cooperation with the School
of Businesss Administration, the College also offered special training
courses for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, Sylvania Electric
Products Inc., and the Purchasing
Agents Association of Buffalo.
'"The

Liaison Office
An office for liaison with business
and industry was established in December 1951. The purpose of this office is to keep up-to-date information
concerning relationships between the
University and the industrial community, to interpret the needs of
business and industry to members of
the University staff, to explore ways
in which the University can better
serve business and industry in this
area, and to keep corporations of all
types informed of the University's
facilities for education, research, and
service.

Development Campaign
The appointment of a committee
on University development was noted
in the annual report for 1950-51. Under the general supervision of this
committee, a Greater University of
Buffalo Development Program was
planned.Mr. Owen B. Augspurger, Jr.,

a graduate of the Law School in the
Class of 1937,was appointed general
chairman, and campaign headquarters
were established in Townsend Hall.
The intensive financial drive in Buffalo and Erie County opened on May
5, 1952. Through the efforts of a very
large number of individuals who
served as leaders and workers, subscriptions of $2,300,000 were announced early in July toward a goal
of "$3,500,000 plus" for the present
effort. The two immediate purposes
of the campaign were to raise $2,--500,000 for the completion of the
Medical-Dental Building, and $1,000,--000 for the construction of a physics
and general classroom building. Other
long range purposes were announced
at the same time, including larger
funds for student aid; endowment for
faculty salaries; and for improvement
and expansion of the University's
educational services; a new building
for theater, music, and art; an expansion of the Medical-Dental Building into a comprehensive center for
instruction in the fields of health; additions to other campus buildings;
and better downtown facilities.
Since the larger pledges made by
private and corporate citizens, including the alumni, will be permanently
recorded in various scrolls and memorial tablets, they will not be
enumerated here. It is appropriate,
nevertheless, to call particular attention to the magnificent pledge of
$250,000 made by the Seymour H.
Knox Foundation. This is in addition
to the sum of $445,000 which the University has received in the past from
the Knox family.
It is especially pleasing to pay
tribute to the activities of the alumni
during the campaign, not onlybecause
they contributed generously, but because eighteen hundred of them participated as workers in the Erie
County drive. Particular attention
should be called to the success of the
medical section of this drive, although
all other alumni divisions proved once
more their loyalty to the University's
cause.
The University is deeply indebted
to Mr. Augspurger, the General
Chairman of the campaign; to Mr.
Lawrence D. Bell, Honorary Chairman; Mr. Edward H. Butler, Chairman of the Greater University of
Buffalo Development Program Advisory Committee; Mr. G. Thomas
Ganim, and Mr. John H. Little, CoChair man of the Alumni Participation Committee; Mr. Paul A. Schoell-

kopf, Chairman of the Development
Committee of the Council; the leaders
of the main divisions of the local
drive, whose names were fully reported in various widely distributed
campaign publications; and all those
who worked so effectively in the University's behalf.
As the second stage of the intensive
Erie County campaign, the completion of the Erie County solicitation
began. The third phase of the campaign, under the .directorship of Talman W. Van Arsdale, Jr., Director of
Alumni Relations, will be the continuation of the drive among alumni in
various centers of the country.
This intensive campaign, which is

only the fourth in the University's
long history, should lay the basis for
continuous financial promotion not
only for capital funds, but for annual
contributions to current operations on
the part of corporations, alumni, and
friends of the University. The experience in this campaign has served to
indicate the necessity of a broader
and more intensive program of public
relations, and an office for continuous
financial development.

New Buildings
Medical-Dental Building
The construction of the

MedicalDental Building proceeded rapidly
under the effective supervision of the
Chairman of the Council's Committee

on Buildings and Grounds, Mr. Karr
Parker. The cornerstone was laid
June 5, 1952. The building will undoubtedly be completed ahead of
schedule,and will be occupied during
the late spring and summer of 1953.
When completed and equipped, it will
provide practical and modern facilities which will mark it as an outstanding educational plant. It will
probably be dedicated with appropriate ceremonies and scientific conferences during the fall of that year.
Campus Residences
During the year the University
completed arrangements with three
Buffalo savings banks for loans in the
amount of $1,350,000 for the construction of three dormitories—two for
men, and one for women. Ground was
broken on March 25, 1952. Construction proceeded rapidly, and there is
every reason to believe that the residences will be ready for occupancy on
schedule on February 1, 1953.
Respectfully submitted,
T. R. McConnell,

Chancellor

Message

of the vfnii/ertitu:

To The Alumni:

The Annual Alumni Fund has become one of the most impormaintaining high educational standards
in privately financed and independently controlled colleges and
universities. Increasingly, alumni of these institutions, because they
are fully aware ofthe differencebetween the cost of their own education and what they paid in tuition, have determined to underwrite
a substantial part ofthat deficit. The growing concern of the alumni
of the University of Buffalo for the support of their Alma Mater
is a source of great encouragement and faith. If the University of
Buffalo does not secure even greater assistance from its graduates,
it will be impossible for it to provide the high level of education
for which it has so long been recognized.
tant and essential means of

The Alumni Loyalty Fund was suspended during 1952 in order
alumni giving on the Greater University of Buffalo
Development Program. However, in spite of the fact that there
was no solicitation, more than $8,000 came in from those who,
having acquired the habit of sending an annual gift, continued to subscribe to this current fund. Many
of these same alumni, I am sure, contributed also to the capital gifts campaign.
to concentrate

The Honor Roll this year expresses the University's gratitude to those who have subscribed to the
development campaign, as well as to those who have sent in gifts to the Loyalty Fund during the year.
The names of those who are participating in the current area financial campaign are, of course, not listed.
They will be given later in the year, and a message to that effect is being printed with the Honor Roll.
As I have met graduates of the University, I have been impressed with the number who said to
that they could not have secured their professional and specialized training had it not been for the
University of Buffalo. We must continue to offer educational opportunities to as many young people
as possible. With this purpose in mind, we have made only very modest increases in tuition during
recent years. This means that if we are to maintain and improve the University's varied educational
programs, we must have widespread support from alumni and friends of the University, including business and industrial firms. Every alumnus, whatever his profession, has a direct and even personal stake
in the high standing not only of the division from which he was graduated, but of the University as a
whole. No physician, for example, wishes to apologize in the slightest degree for the present reputation
of the University's Medical School. Fortunately, every graduate of the University may point with pride
to a distinguished Medical School. How important it is to be able to continue to do so!
me

It has been my privilege recently to meet many alumni in their own communities. It has been a
heartening experience to sense their deep loyalty, and it is a pleasure to acknowledge not only their
financial assistance, but, even more, their deep and abiding interest in the University.

(committee (chairman,
INTEREST ON A MILLION DOLLARS!

To The Alumni:

Many of us could not have obtained a university education if good old U.B. had
existed. The generosity of many donors before our time furnished the original
buildings of the University for us to use and we paid our "fare" while in School,
except for the sizeable part that the University's endowment fund subsidized us.
But the University of Buffalo is not a rich school and million dollar gifts are
unknown here. We can, however, indirectly as Alumni, make a million dollar gift—
that is, provide the income from a million through a loyalty gift each year.
The annual interest on a million dollars at the University's current return is
$40,000 or about five dollars per hour. How many hours' interest can we each give?—even one will
help.
Last year you received no letter from your class agent for the Loyalty Fund inasmuch as you were
solicited for the Development Campaign. The latter, as you know, was for capital gifts to complete
the Medical-Dental Building and begin a Physics Building.
We haven't made our goal yet, but the Alumni response was excellent. So far, 3,015 Alumni
pledged. But 15,000 Alumni gave nothing. Some have not yet been solicited and perhaps some were
missed in the bustle of the campaign; and others at the moment could afford nothing.
Well—here's another year and we have the opportunity to show our appreciaton to the University
that has made it possible for us to secure an education.
Payment on your Development Campaign pledge will be credited to the Loyalty Fund, but
perhaps you'll want to send a few extra dollars direct to the Loyalty Fund as partial interest on that
million dollars.
Just think—if every Alumnus sent only one hour's interest, U.B. would be richer by $85,000.00.
But all can't give; therefore some of us must give more.

Sincerely yours,

THE ROLE OF THE ALUMNUS

abiding interest in the welfare of
higher education. It has contributed
needed financial support. It has helped
in developing educational policies.

Three years of intensive study devoted to the major financial problems
facing universities, colleges, and professional schools of this country were climaxed last fall with the final reports of the Commission on Financing Higher
Education. In reaching its most widely-publicized conclusion that institutions
need at least $250,000,000 more in annual operating income, the Commission
explored every facet of higher education as it has developed in the United States
and prepared a series of important books that cover the major issues in the field.

But alumni interest in higher education may also be short-sighted and
detrimental. The "old grad" is often
portrayed in our literature as the selfsatisfied, substantial member of the
community who feels that the college
today should be just what it was in
his day. This portrait is only too real
in too many instances. The alumnus
may fear change, may look upon the
present generation of students and
faculty as "rebels," usually forgetting
his own behavior at an earlier time.
He may be critical of some viewpoint
he hears expressed by one member of
the faculty and so condemn the whole
institution. He may seek to attach as
a condition to his gift the demand
that some faculty member personally
obnoxious to him be dismissed. That
such action may undermine academic
freedom never occurs to him, or he
holds the whole concept to be just a

Of broadest interest are the final two volumes: the Commission's report
entitled Nature and Needs of Higher Education, and the staff report entitled
Financing Higher Education in the United States. Both are published by
Columbia University Press, ISew York, Copyright 1952*
Presented here is a section (pp. 224-6) from the staff report chapter on
the "Internal Organization and Management" of institutions of higher education.
It is reprinted with permission.
One must acknowledge the role
which the alumni of institutions of
higher education play in their management. Formally, again, alumni
have little, if any, authority. They
may elect one or more members of
the board of trustees of a college or
a university. In a few cases they
elect a majority of trustees. Otherwise, they may have no official responsibility. Informally, alumni exercise a considerable influence upon various institutions, both public and private.
The alumni are important assets of
a college or university, but sometimes
also one of its major liabilities. There
is an ofttold story of the college president who expressed a wish that his
next institution might be a penitentiary, for "there he'd have no alumni
to bother him." The alumnus is an
asset in many ways. As a graduate
of a college or a university he above
all others in the community at large
is expected to appreciate the importance of higher education, the end it
serves, the achievements it accomplishes. He should be its chief supporter when under attack; its most
constructive critic in times of general
complacency and self-satisfaction. He
must by his own example exemplify
the individual competence and the
moral integrity which higher education seeks to help cultivate in its students.
The alumnus is important to the
financial support of higher education.
For the public college or university it

is the alumnus who may most reasonably be expected to assert to legislators and to other groups the importance of adequate state government
appropriations to the institution. For
the private college or university it is
the alumnus who must be relied upon
to have an abiding interest in the
financial well-being of his "alma
mater" and contribute to its sustained
operations.

The role of the alumnus is widely
recognized in higher education. Colleges and universities maintain substantial offices which continue to cultivate alumni interest in their institution. Alumni clubs are organized and
encouraged to meet at least once a
year, with a campus representative
usually present. An alumni magazine
or news bulletin is periodically published. Alumni reunions are promoted,
as well as other periodic return visits
to the institution. Alumni funds provide a means for soliciting and contributing gifts to the college or the
university. An alumni council is often
organized, and its officers are consulted about major institutional developments. In a variety ofways the
alumni are thus involved in the operations of most institutions of higher
education.
This alumni participation has on
the whole been valuable to colleges
and universities. It has above all else
constantly called attention to the
achievements of the college educated
man and woman in our society and
has encouraged them to maintain an

"superstition."
In our own investigation we have
heard many stories which illustrate
these brief generalizations. Indeed, it
is our impression that it has been
alumni pressure more than any other
single factor which has led to the emphasis so many institutions, especially
state universities, have given to intercollegiate athletics. Many of the football and basketball scandals recently
revealed must be laid, first of all, to
alumni demands which a supine administration or faculty were unwilling
or felt unable to resist.

Thus, alumni relations are vital to
the successful operation of an institution and often an obstacle to educational change. The continued cultivation of alumni is imperative for all
institutions. Nor can such cultivation
be one sided. The alumni must be
given their opportunity to express
themselves as well. Indeed, they seldom fail to make such opportunity or
refrain from vigorous presentation of
their points of view. The problem is
to keep alumni informed, interested,
constructive and intelligent in their
support of higher education. This is
no mean challenge to all elements in
the organizational structure of higher
education.

�Faculty You'll Remember:

DR. JULIUS W. PRATT
Dean, Graduate School

of Arts &amp;

It was exactly six years ago that a
class in American History caused the
walls of Hayes Auditorium to bulge
as they had never bulged before. Most
students and observers would no
doubt believe that a class of several
hundred students would indicate a
"snap course". Such was not the case.
What then, was the big attraction ?
It was Dr. Julius W. Pratt, then head
of the Department of History and
Government.
About half-way through a discussion of the huge cattle drives of
early western days, Dr. Pratt executed a flawless rendition of the
famous old cowboy ballad embodying
those well known lines, "git along
little doggie
it's your misfortune
.". This perand none of my own
formance, complete with variations
and gestures, has become only one
of a myriad of oft-told stories concerning the man whom countless students have called friend and teacher.
A typical American, Dr. Pratt's
first childhood ambition was to be an
engineer aboard one of the powerful
locomotives that hauled passengers
and freight through his native Black
Hills area of Piedmont, South Dakota.
But his first interest in the story
of America, which was to be his lifelong occupation, was perhaps aroused
when he and two sisters participated
in a family relocation which was to
establish new home roots in Marion,
North Carolina.
This was the state in which Dean
Pratt received his AB degree in 1908
from Davidson College. The MA followed in 1941 at the University of
Chicago, and the PhD was awarded
by Chicago in 1924.
Julius Pratt's first teaching stint
was at the Georgia Institute of Technology. There then followed a three
year period during which he learned

.. .

Sciences, and Samuel P. Capen

Professor of American History

the cotton mill trade in northwest
Georgia, working in both the office
and mill. Leaving these surroundings
for trie big city, Dr. Pratt began
his graduate work in Chicago. Following his master's work, he taught
English for three years at North Carolina State, then known as North
Carolina A. &amp; M.
This English teaching may be something new to his many followers, but
it seems he was well-equipped for this
field, too, because his undergraduate
days involved a general arts program
with many electives.
1916-1924 was a period destined to
prove most influential in the career
of the now noted Dean, for it was the
time of his association with the
United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. It was there that
he combined the teaching of English
and history in rooms walled on four
sides by blackboards. Sections were
of a size which often permitted the
entire class of midshipmen to be examined simultaneously while writing
on assorted subjects from the test. A
teacher's job seemed to be mainly one
of testing; the student's, one of memorizing. No outside reading other than
the text work was compulsory, and it
is with a twinkle in his eye that Dean
Pratt compares our current methods
with those of the Academy and the
old school practices.
Students of American History today
come in frequent contact with the
writings of Captain Mahan and it is
safe to say that the Annapolis tour
of duty stirred up a more than average interest in aspects of Naval history for our Dean.
Rutgers University was next to
benefitfrom the teaching of Dr. Pratt,
just after his doctorate work of 1924.
Julius Pratt first came to the University of Buffalo in the spring of

1926. Arriving In May from Rutgers
University, where it had been scorching weather, to say the least, he found
ice in the Niagara River, cabbages in
front of what was later to be called
Hayes Hall, and the Chancellor's
Office in the rooms now occupied by
Dean Lemon. On hand to greet him
that day was another Arts and Sciences newcomer, Dr. Albert R. Shadle,
Professor of Biology.
For the past twenty-seven years,

feet
Originally here as Emanuel Boasberg professor of American History,
the Deanwas named to head the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in
1946 and continued to hold the position of head of the Department of
History until the deanship claimed
all his administrative time in 1948.
Despite his charming modesty, he
is obviously most pleased and proud
when he is referred to by his newest
title, Samuel P. Capen Professor of
American History.
No biography of this typically
lanky westerner would be complete
without mention of Mrs. Louisa Williamson Pratt who first met the Dean
in his North Carolina days. Dr. and
Mrs. Pratt have two sons whose accomplishments in their young careers
are just one small factor in the
Dean's eagerness to chat about his
boys.
They are William Winston and
Walden Penfield, both graduates of
the University of Rochester. The former received his PhD. in physics from
lowa State and is presently conduct-

ing research in nuclear physics at the
State University of lowa. Walden is
presently in Washington, D. C, with

the U. S. Geological Survey, having
previously pursued graduate work in
geology at Yale University. Both are
War II veterans.
Mrs. Pratt accompanied him on his
lecture trip to Salzburg. Austria last
summer. Residing in a palace, known
as Schloss Leopoldskron which was
built in 1736. Mrs. Pratt was close to
European history while her husband
joined in the Salzburg Seminar in
American Studies as lecturer on
American Foreign Policy since 1900.
That European trip was justone of
many summer excursions which have
taken the professor to Duke University. University of Texas, University
of Maryland. Harvard University.
University of Chicago, and the University of Rochester to lecture in
summer sessions and Spring semesters.
Space does not permit the inclusion
of a list of his many published works
of scholarship such as Expansionists
of 1812, Expansionists of 1898, or
America's Colonial Experiment which
was an Historical Book Club selection. Let it suffice to say that his
published contributions to historical
annals would easily fill two pages
with titles alone.
Dean Pratt is currently putting in
his spare time on a book dealing with
U. S. foreign policies, which is expected to be published in the near

Mr. Butler receiving the Chancellor's
Medal from Chancellor McConnell.
The University conferred degrees,
diplomas, and certificates upon 229
candidates at its 53rd annual Midyear Commencement on February
23rd at Kleinhans Music Hall.
On the same occasion, the University acclaimed the public service of
Edward H. Butler, publisher of the
Buffalo Evening News, when it presented him with The Chancellor's
Medal.
The Commencement Address was
delivered by Dr. Julius W. Pratt,
Samuel P. Capen Professor of American History and Dean of the University's Graduate School of Arts &amp;
Sciences.
Dr. Pratt's address, titled "The
Mantle of George Washington", stimulated evident audience approval and
was much quoted in editorials locally.
He carefully surveyed the "crisis in
freedom" presently confronting the
United States and called upon the
nation and its leaders to preserve our
freedom of thought and speech and
criticism which he characterized as
the "health of our civilization".
Chancellor McConnell, in his citation of Mr. Butler as the 26th recipient of the medal, emphasized Mr.
Butler's staunch defense of the freedom of education and the freedom of
speech. Dr. McConnell also noted that
Mr. Butler has, "with equal energy,
called for a responsible press."
Among the 229 receiving degrees
were 70 men and women who won
advanced degrees, including seven
doctors of philosophy and three doctors of education.

ALUMNI BOARD
AMENDS BY-LAWS
The General Alumni Board's ExecCommittee recently passed two
important measures designed to
strengthen alumni relations with the

utive

University.
The first was an unanimous recommendation to the University's Council
that the number of alumni signatures
needed on each petition for nomination be increased from ten to fifty.
In sending the Board's recommendation to the Council, Alumni President Robert E. Rich, BS(Bus)'3s, emphasized the serious nature of the
duty of an alumni-elected member of
the University Council. He cited the
fact that there are now nearly 20,000
living graduates of the University and
that nomination for election to the
Council should represent a larger en-

dorsement than ten. alumni. The
Council readily agreed and the recent
instructions on nomination mailed to
all graduates emphasizes the necessity of securing the fifty signatures
rather than ten as formerly.
The Board also amended its ByLaws to admit non-alumni faculty
members to associate membership in
the alumni associations representing
the divisions in which they teach.
Alumni President-Elect William J.
Orr, MD'2O, who sponsored this
amendment, cited the participation of
the non-alumni faculty in all University projects and the desire of the
alumni of all divisions to have them
as their associates in alumni affairs.
The amendment was approved unanimously.

�22 STUDENT ACTIVITIES CENTER IN NORTON UNION

by Jack Keller, '52
Admissions Counselor

Even Olson &amp; Johnson could
have produced a better scene of apparent confusion than is depicted
here. But to those of us who have
graduated since '34, this merely represents the average day in Norton
Union. The variety of activities typified in the sketch will serve to give
the pre-'34 grad some insight into
the many phases of our present oncampus student life.
Of course, for every "production"
there must be a producer and a director. The Board of Managers, the
campus student-governing body, is
that producer. The Board is composed
of 25 members. Sixteen of them are
students elected annually in March to
represent Medicine, Dentistry, Law,
the five undergraduate divisions and
eight at-large. The nine other members are appointed by the Chancellor
with the consent of the group and include 3 faculty members, an alumnus,
an alumna, the Dean of Women, the
Director of Norton Hall, and representatives of the Council of the University and the Office of the Dean of
Students.
not

Since the balance of power in the
student
governing groups typically resides
with the faculty members or administration, this Board is indeed unique
in composition. It
implies a basic
faith, on the part
of the University,
in the maturity
of the college
student which of
course is not
unique at U. B.
Recognizing the
diverse interests
of our student
Keller
body, the Board
sponsors activities ranging from a
Debating society and a Radio Playhouse to the Sitzmarkers Ski Club
and a rifle team. Even the Medention
and Law School Review are in whole
or part financed from funds allocated
by this group. The Program Committee which functions as a Board Committee plans and directs activities
such as dances, coffee hours and last
year even included a tiddlywink tournament. In all, seventy-seven stuvast majority of university

dent interest groups are functioning
throughout the University.
In addition to having responsibility
for the social aspects of campus life,
the Board of Managers also awards
activity scholarships to outstanding
and deserving students from Junior
Prom profits. The appointment of students to serve on joint Student-Faculty committees is another example
of the outstanding way in which the
governing body aids the Administration in best meeting the needs of the
students. The planning, in part, of

our new residence units was the
result of such a committee. Responsible to the Council also for the conduct of the student body, the Board
passes legislation which will benefit
the group as a whole and yet be in
keeping with the philosophy and tone
of the University.
Having been granted broad legislative powers well beyond those usually given such a group, the Board
of Managers is well aware of the obligations such freedom entails. This
is another fine example of the training our Alma Mater offers for living
in a modern world.

A REPORT: What

Becomes Of Our Medical Graduates?

by Dr. Arthur Butler, Ass't.

What happens to the graduates of
the University of Buffalo Medical
School ? Where do they go into practice? What type of practice do they
engage in: specialization or general
practice? How do they practice: as
private practitioners or in salaried
positions?

article in The Journal of
Medical Education. "Trends in Medical Practice." by Dr. H. G. Weiskotten and Miss Marion E. Altenderfer.
examines these questions in relation
to the graduates of all American
medical colleges. This particular study
covers the graduates of 1935 and
1940, and is a continuation of earlier
studies covering medical school graduates for the years 1915. 1920, 1925
and 1930.
It is based on questionnaires sent
to the graduates of the various
classes. Of the 1935 graduates. 64 per
cent returned their questionnaires and
70 per cent of the 1940 graduates returned theirs. (Forty-six out of sixtytwo 1935 University of Buffalo graduates, and thirty-seven out of fifty-four
1940 University of Buffalo graduates
returned their questionnaires.) A comparison of the returned questionnaires
with the American Medical Directory
indicated that they are representative
of the entire graduating classes. The
figures quoted below are based on the
returned questionnaires, and the comments have come entirely from this
article, with those parts of the article
which apply to the University of Buffalo especially cited.
Let us look first at the distribution,
by size of city, of University of Buffalo medical graduates in private
practice. Of those who returned quesA recent

tionnaires, sixty-four graduates out

of the 1935 and 1940 graduating
classes went into private practice.
From this group, 46.9 per cent were
practicing in communities with a
population of 500,000 or more; 7.8 per
cent were in communities with a
population of 100,000 to 499,999; 3.1
per cent in communities from 50,000
to 99,999; 18.8 per cent in communities with 10,000 to 49,999; 4.7 per
cent in communities of 2,500 to 9,999
and 17.2 per cent in communities with
less than 2,500

people.

The distribution of University of
Buffalo graduates according to the
size of community deviated somewhat
from the average distribution. The
University of Buffalo had almost twice

Professor of Economics
the average proportion of graduates
(24.9) in communities with over 500,-000 people, and was far below the
average proportion for communities
ranging from
50,000 to 499,999.
However, the
University

had

twice the
average per cent
(9 per cent) of
graduates who
located their
practices in communities with
less than 2,500
almost

in population.

Dr. Butler

What are some of the factors which
cause physicians to distribute themselves in different-sized communities
in the pattern observed above? Weiskotten and Altenderfer list these reasons as being important in determining the location of medical school
graduates: 1) the per capita income
of the area which the physician
chooses for practicing; 2) the location
of the medical college which the
physician attended; 3) whether or not
the medical college is publicly or privately supported; 4) the pre-medical

school residence of the physician; and,
5) the place in which the graduate
served his internship.
The study brought out specific information along these lines in relation
to the University of Buffalo. Of the
1930 graduates of the University of
Buffalo, 94.3 per cent were practicing
in New York State in 1936, and 86.1
per cent of the 1935 graduating class
and 78.6 per cent of the 1940 graduating class were practicing in New
York State in 1950. Buffalo was one
of eight schools, out of a total of 68
colleges included in the study, which
had more than 75 per cent of its
graduates practicing in the state in
which the school was located.
Perhaps even more significant is the
fact that 45.7 per cent of the 1930
graduates were practicing in Buffalo
in 1936, and 30.6 per cent of the 1935
graduating class and 46.4 per cent of
the 1940 graduating class were practicing in Buffalo in 1950. The only
other schools which had a higher percentage of their 1940 graduating class
practicing in 1950 in the same city as
the college were New York University, with 48.6 per cent, and Wayne
University (Detroit) with 46.4 per
cent, the same percentage as Buf-

interesting to note that

falo's. It

is

the two

cities

involved

were much

larger than Buffalo, whereas many
other colleges located in communities
larger than Buffalo had a lower percentage of their graduates in the
same city.
The effect of the pre-medical school
residence of the graduate on his final
location as a practicing physician is
indicated by the following statistics
for the University of Buffalo: 53.7 per
cent of the combined 1935 and 1940
graduating classes lived in Buffalo
prior to attending the University of
Buffalo Medical School. Furthermore,
91.5 per cent came from New York
State and 95.1 per cent came from
the middle Atlantic states. Buffalo
was one of six American medical colleges which had 50 per cent or more
of its graduates practicing in the
same city as that in which they lived
prior to attending medical school. Of

the

combined

1935 and 1940 Univer-

sity of Buffalo classes, 50 per cent
were practicing in the same city as
the one they lived in prior to attending medical school, and 85.9 per cent
were practicing in the same state of
their prior residence.
Some interesting figures are revealed concerning the nature of practice of the graduating physicians. The
following percentages for the University of Buffalo illustrate the tendency
toward increased specialization on the
part of physicians. From the 1915
class, 35.7 per cent of the graduates
limited their practice to a specialty,
23.8 per cent of the 1920 class, 18.4
per cent of the 1925 class, 17.5 per

cent of the 1930 class, 52.2 per cent
of the 1935 class and 83.3 per cent of
the 1940 class.
The interpretation of the above
figures is subject to a limitation because the 1915 graduating class was
studied eleven years after graduation,
the 1920, 1925 and 1930 classes six
years after graduation, the 1935 class
fifteen years and the 1940 class ten
years after graduation. The greater
lapse of time between the date of
graduation and the date of the study
for the last two classes allowed more
time for the physicians to specialize.
The high percentage of University
of Buffalo Medical School graduates
who limited their practice to a specialty is explained, in large part, by the
fact that so many of them, located in
Buffalo, and other large communities.

�That is, the size of the city in which
the practice is established clearly
affects the percentage of physicians
who limit their practice to a specialty
—the larger the community, the
higher the percentage.
It was noted earlier that sixty-four
of the graduates of the 1935 and 1940
classes combined went into private
practice. Thirty-six were in the 1935
class, twenty-eight were in the 1940
class. Percentagewise, 87.5 per cent
of the 1930 class, 78.3 per cent of the
1935 class and 77.8 per cent of the
1940 class went into private practice.
These figures closely approximate the
averages for all American colleges,
which were 77.8 per cent, 82.9 per
cent and 77.6 per cent respectively.
Many of the University of Buffalo
graduates took salaried positions.
Approximately 22per cent of the combined 1935 and 1940 held full-time
salaried positions in 1950 and approximately 32 per cent held part-time
salaried positions.
This study indicates that the graduates of the University of Buffalo
Medical School have certain characteristics which distinguish them from
the graduates of other medical schools.
They show a much greater tendency
to settle in communities of over 500,--000 population. This can be partially
explained by the fact that a large
number of the students come from
communities which are over 500,000 in
population, and that the University
of Buffalo is located in a city of over
500,000 in population. The University
of Buffalo has an outstanding record
in terms of the large percentage of
its medical graduates who locate in
the same city as the college.

Arts &amp; Sciences
Annual Dinner Meeting
Place: Hotel Sheraton, Delaware Avenue, Buffalo.
Time: 6:30 P. M., April 29.
Plan: Annual dinner meeting
of the alumni, this year honoring the 25-year professors. Cantor, Scofield, and Summer. Plus:
An Alumni Success Story!
Price: $2.75 TOTAL. And that
includes dessert for those of you
who missed it last year.

ARTS &amp; SCIENCES SUCCESS STORY
Just An Idea! The annual meeting
was the topic under discussion as the
officers of the Arts &amp; Sciences Alumni Association gathered one evening
last year. There wasn't much spirit
in evidence either. As one of them
put it, "The trouble is that no one
wants to come to the annual meeting.
It's the same ol' thing every time.
Other than providing a pleasant evening once a year, what program does
this outfit have?"
It was deserved criticism. Arts
alumni really hadn't any constructive
program of activity like those carried
on by several of the University's divisional alumni associations. And providing or initiating a worthy program
which would be representative of and
interesting to each of the many diverse occupations prepared for in the
Arts College is a tough assignment.
But this group of officers determined to put on an active and worthwhile program. Perhaps it was just
this same diversity of interest and
occupation which prompted them to
come up with the suggestion that
they examine some of the opinions
held by their fellow-graduates about
certain aspects of the training they
received as undergraduates.
Modest Start. Beginning on a
modest scale, they decided to interview a sampling of graduates of a
period of 15 years and ask them pertinent questions about the tutorial
program, counseling, and choice of
courses.
The faculty was enthusiastic, too,
and joined in the preparation of the
questionnaire and gave valuable advice on the manner in which the
sampling- was made. Dean Julian
Park was especially interested and
enlisted the assistance of Dr. Edward
S. Jones, director of the University's
personnel office. Soon the program
was underway and the first interviews were being carried on.
A

Then Recognition! Dean Park and
his colleagues saw much more in the
program perhaps than any of the
alumni. They decided it was so worthwhile that it deserved wider sampling
and study than was possible with the
limited financial resources of the
Alumni Association. Accordingly,
under the supervision of Dr. Richard
M. Drake, assistant dean of the College and director of tutorial instruction, a plan was prepared and submitted to the Fund for the Advancement of Education set up by the Ford
Foundation.

The officers of the Fund saw it the
same way as the alumni and the
faculty. As a result, the University
has received a grant of $22,200 to
carry out the program. An example
of the distinguished and constructive
service an alumni association can
offer its University!
Thorough Survey. The grant will be
used to survey the University's anticipatory examinations, free elective
system, and the tutorial plan.
One part of the survey especially
will be carried on with the support
of the Arts and Sciences Alumni Association and will involve the interviewing of a sampling of the graduates of the College. Dr. Drake has
been appointed to direct the study.
Anticipatory examinations have
been given by the University for the
last 21 years and have been taken
by nearly 1800 high-ranking high
school students during those years.
Also for the last 21 years, the College has held to a free-elective system for all students, with no special
distribution of courses rigidly required. This has been coupled with a
freshman-evaluating examination and
an individual-orientation conference,
plus a dual-advising program, in
which at the beginning of each semester a student's program is discussed
with a member of the personnel office
and a faculty adviser.
Tutorial Emphasis. In recent years,
with the greatly increased number of
majoring students, most departments
of the College have been able to provide tutorial instruction involving individual independent study only for
the superior students. All departments have had to adapt their tutorial instruction, and this study will
evaluate the great variety of instructional procedures classified as tutorial

that have resulted.
The proposed study will also investigate the worth of tutorial instruction in terms of expenditure of
faculty time and energy.
Action Report. Hence it is that the
annual meeting of the Arts &amp; Sciences
Alumni Association this year will be
distinguished by a report of a real
contribution of alumni action. The
alumni are justly proud that a program initiated by them has brought
about an important evaluation.
And the spirit is still there! At the
meeting of the officers last month,
the topic of discussion was, "What
will our next project be?"

How to Make
It's easier than you

think

to

make a million

dollars!

Perhaps we can't as individuals
ever.

Million

.

..

that's right, a million

some say those days are gone for-

But, TOGETHER we can! And EVERY YEAR, too!

Here's how:
As alumni of the

University,

we

simply give $40,000 this year

Alumni Loyalty Fund. Certainly, 18,000 alumni can
out its

the

dig up $40,000 with-

hurting. And $40,000 is a million dollars when you stop

that that would be the amount coming into the

to

University

to

think

treasury

if

it had a million dollars invested at present interest rates.
TOGETHER we can

do it. TOGETHER

we can mean a

million

dollars to the University this year—if EVERY ALUMNUS WILL DO
HIS PART!

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

ABOUT THE COVER

Homer's Odyssey could well be amended to include the three young men
pictured on this month's cover. Veterans of almost every imaginable alumni
and fund raising experience, they would qualify for inclusion by reason of
travel amounting to over 100,000 miles. TTiis, in ten months' time, included
approximately 30,000 miles in their trusty "Agony Wagon" which carried
them to meetings with nearly half of University's 20,000 living alumni.
From New York City to San Francisco they went, carrying banners, movie
projectors, screens, luggage, literature, furniture and endless cartons of odds
and ends, not to mention the personnel of the Greater University of Buffalo
Development Program.
Pictured, left to right, are: T. W. VanArsdale, Jr., BA'3B, MA'4O, Director
of Alumni Relations and Area Campaigns; Edward G. Andrews, Jr.,
BS(Bus)'49 and J. William Everett, BS(Bus)'so, both Assistant Directors.
Not present for the photograph was Peter E. Wolkodoff, BA'5O, also an
Assistant Director in the campaign organization.

J^tow Id the

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Ljoina i

By Chancellor T. Raymond McConnell
How is the development campaign going? Many
people have asked me that question lately, and a quick
statistical answer is easy to give. At the beginning of
1952, we set our minimum goal at $3,500,000. To date
almost $2,700,000 has been pledged. Therefore, we have

about $800,000 still to find, if we are to reach even our
minimum goal.
The intensive phase of the fund raising campaign
ended in Erie County last fall, but until July 1, it will
be inprogress in 23 cities from New York to San Francisco, where there are active alumni groups. For some
time, additional pledges probably will be forthcoming
from people who learned about the University's needs
during the campaign.

Preparing for the Future
important for us to make a distinction between
the development campaign and the development program. The campaign is simply an immediate, intensive
phase of the program. The development program is our
effort to respond to the prodding of the times. The
query, "How is the development program going?", is
really the question, "Are we going to be prepared for
what's coming?" Obviously, that is not so easy to
It is

answer.

What is coming is, among other things, many new
developments in nearly all fields of study, and increased
enrollments for the University. One doesn't need a
crystal ball to forecast that. As human knowledge advances, more and more complex programs are necessary
to transmit it from one generation to another, and
future university enrollments can actually be counted in
the high schools and elementary schools of today.

More Complex Studies
Every time science takes a step forward, universities
must advance with it. A laboratory which in 1920 was
considered fully adequate for teaching physics, for instance, now would look bare. The demands of the other
sciences have grown as fast as those of the Physics

Department.
In endeavoring

to keep up with the growth of the
sciences, all universities of course must try to prevent
the development of a world in which science over-

shadows the humanities. The explosion of the first
bomb dramatized the potentialities of science, but
for some of us it dramatized even more the need for
the best possible facilities for teaching the humanities.
In expanding the scientific fields to keep up with the
times, we must not neglect studies which are concerned
primarily with the nature of man and the relations of
men to one another.
Even if we did not expect more students, the University would need a development program. The double
pressure placed upon us by the increased quantity of
students and the demands for more complex curricula
and equipment is little short of atomic itself.

Increased Enrollments
All universities are caught up in a long-range trend
which can be described very simply: more and more
American young people are wanting and getting an
education. Only a few statistics are necessary to show
what I mean. Between 1900 and 1950, the population
of the United States doubled, but the enrollment of
colleges increased more than ten fold! In 1950, a total
of 95,912 students—about five times the 1920 figure—
graduated from high schools in New York State, and
almost half of them enrolled in some institution of
higher learning. Universities all over the nation are
being forced to expand, and the University of Buffalo
is no exception.

Additional Reasons for Development
To fulfill its purpose of meeting the educational needs
of the Niagara Frontier, the University of Buffalo must
grow for still another reason—the Niagara Frontier is
growing. More and more industry is moving into the
area and attracting new families.
There are still more reasons why the University of
Buffalo must grow to satisfy the demands to be placed
upon it. There is a "snow-ball" effect involved in the
fact that more and more young people are going to
college. Today the lack of a college education is a much
greater handicap than it used to be. More and more
opportunities are open only to college graduates. At
the same time, the cost of a college education is rising
throughout the nation. Many can afford to attend a
university only if it is near home. The importance of
having a great university in Western New York is
greater than ever before.

Net Effect on University of Buffalo

The net effect of all these developments on the University of Buffalo is easy to state. In 1921, our enrollment was 1544. In 1940, it was 4462. Now it is 9241.
After studying all die facts available, our informed
guess is that in 1960, about 13,000 students will be enrolled in our courses /*/ we can accommodate them.

UNIVERSITYOBUCFAMLPOS

The Need Both to Grow and to Improve
We must combine growth in quantity with growth
in quality. The educational demands of the people of
the Niagara Frontier will be met somehow, as surely as
a vacuum never remains unfilled for long. The question
is, will private universities and colleges meet these demands, or will we have to call on the State to develop
necessary resources? It would be tragic indeed if the
private colleges and universities had to surrender to a
monopoly of public institutions in the field of higher
education.
Realizing all these facts, we began our Development
Campaign in May, 1952. Let us admit that we set the
minimum sum of $3,500,000 as an arbitrary goal for the
time being. No one can guess precisely how far we will
have to advance to keep pace with the people around us.

Great Progress Has Been Made
The University of Buffalo has of course made great
progress—the improvements since 1949 have been remarkable. We have added a new wing to the Engineering School building; we have built a new building for
the Law School. And since the start of this campaign,
we have seen the three new student dormitories, and the
new building for the Medical and Dental schools rise
on the campus. A new wing on Norton Hall is now
being built. This new construction is only the outward
manifestation of inward growth and improvement of
many kinds. Almost every department in the University
is constantly revising its curricula to meet new demands.
We have established a new music department, and
launched upon new research programs. Many other
developments are underway.
Much Yet to Do
But let us admit that we haven't yet caught up with
the times. A new building for the Physics Department
is needed immediately. It will not be long before more
dormitories will be necessary.
In talking about our other needs we face two dangers
—that of being considered merely visionary, and that of
planning too little. Still, the question of what we need
is only the question of what kind of university the
Niagara Frontier wants. We think the I*4 million
people in this area want a truly great university. That
is what they have had; I am convinced they are determined to keep it that way.
What will we have to do to make sure we continue
to have a great university? We will have to do much—
great things don't come easily. We must begin by bringing this present development campaign to a successful
conclusion. Then we can pause for breath, and take a
look around, and give a more thorough answer to the
question, "How is the development program going?"

WHAT ALUMNI AREDOINGEVTLHPNM CAIGN
by Director of Alumni Relations T. W. Van Arsdale, Jr.
The alumni of the University have achieved their best
record of the four University campaigns in which they
have participated over the years.
Graduates living in Buffalo and Erie County have
already pledged more than a million dollars, with special credit going to the Medical alumni who pledged
more than $425,000.

Following the local campaign, area campaigns got
under way last fall in areas where there are concentrations of alumni. In most of these "capsule campaigns",
solicitation is still going on or the clean-up phase has

been reached. The results that are listed here, then,
should not be considered final—and, of course, there is
still opportunity for alumni, wherever they live, to get
their names on the Scroll of Honor by pledging $50 a
year for the next three years.
There is much yet to be done in the area campaigns,
but the work is proceeding under capable leadership. In
the autumn issue of the Alumni Bulletin, names of
Buffalo and all area campaign leaders will be published
next to the final figures for their areas.
The results of the area campaigns as of June 15 th, are
listed here. The asterisk indicates that the campaign is
still functioning in the area named.

University Opposes
State Dental School

The University through its Chancellor went on record last month
against a State University dental
school at Syracuse.
A proposal, now under consideration by the State University trustees, is to establish two new dental
schools in connection with the statesupported medical schools in Brooklyn
and Syracuse. Dr. McConnell presented a brief, endorsed thereafter
by other college officials in the state,
which emphasized:
1. There is no present need for
another up-state dental school;
2. Any enrollment in such a school
would be at the expense of existing
schools
either that, or it would
have to lower its standards to take in
the less qualified, and;
3. Existing schools are perfectly
competent to take care of all qualified
applicants they now have, and they
are actively expanding facilities to
meet anticipated future demand.
Dr. McConnell stated that the University of Buffalo "has accepted every
qualified candidate from up-state New
York" for the last four years. He
added that the University will soon
be increasing its output by one-third.

The University
Serves the Community
Even the "Cops"!
Even the "cops" come to the University!
Nearly 70 policemen, from Buffalo
and as far away as Gowanda, have
been taking special courses in University's evening division, Millard
Fillmore College, this past year. The
law officers have been studying criminology, including psychological and
environmental factors in crime, and
criminal law and procedure. Teaching
the courses is Professor Charles W.
Webster of University's School of

Law.
Professor Webster is enthusiastic
about his students. Says he, "So far,
not one of them has fallen asleep.
The attendance is almost perfect,
they learn fast, and discussions are
often lively".
Most of the policemen have had
several years of experience and are
paying their own tuition.
Beginning next September, courses
in police administration and criminal
investigation will be offered these
and other law officers.

Gout

Gout is not arare malady and there
meager support for the belief that
it results from good food, good wine,
and good living. Dr. John H. TaJbott,
professor of medicine in University's
School of Medicine, points this out in
his new book, "Gout and Gouty
Arthritis" published last month. This
is Dr. Talbott's second book on the
subject.

THREE NEW DEANS APPOINTED

Dean Hyman

Dean Fisk

Three top administrative posts at
the University were filled this last
month when Chancellor T. R. McConnell announced the appointments
of the new deans of the Graduate
School of Arts &amp; Sciences, the School
of Education, and the School of Law.
New head of the Graduate School
is Dr. Henry MiltonWoodburn, AC'22,
BS'23, chairman of the University's
Chemistry Department since 1945.
Well-known as an inorganic chemist,
Dr. Woodburn also holds degrees
from Northwestern and Pennsylvania
State College. Hehas been a member
of University's faculty for 30 years.
He succeeds Dr. Julius W. Pratt who
retires as dean but will continue as
Samuel P. Capen professor of American history.
Dr. Robert S. Fisk, presently a
member of the faculty of the Syracuse University School of Education,
has been named dean of the School
of Education to succeed Dr. Leslie O.
Cummings. Dr. Cummings retires as

Dean Woodburn,
"22, '23

dean on July Ist, but will
the University's faculty as

continue on
a professor
of higher education.
Dr. Fisk is a native of Minnesota
and holds degrees from Minnesota,
Grinnell College, and Columbia University. He served in the U. S. Navy
as an air observer in War 11. Widely
known for his many publications in
the education field, he is also chairman of the National Conference of
Professors of Educational Administration.
New head of the School of Law is
Jacob D. Hyman, formerly a member
of the faculty of the School. Mr. Hyman, a graduate of Harvard Law
School, succeeds N. Y. Supreme Court
Justice Philip Halpern, LLB'23, who
has served for the last year as acting dean. The new dean entered private practice in New York after receiving his law degree and was appointed an O.P.A. attorney for the
government in 1942. He was appointed
to the Law School faculty in 1946.

Arts &amp; Sciences Has a Birthday
Just forty years ago, this institution became a university in the real
sense of the word.
From 1846 to 1913 it was a collection of four unrelated professional
schools which had contact with each
other only on February 22 and on
commencement in June. It was an
aspiration, not a university. It had a
Chancellor whose only function was
to preside at the rare meetings of the
Council and hand out diplomas. The
deans did the executive work of the
schools.
Almost overnight, all that was
changed. The American Medical Association ruled that Class A medical
schools must in 1913 and thereafter
require at least one year of liberal
arts for entrance.
It seems hard to believe that many
medical schools were hit hard by that

ruling. But most of them were, and
ours was one of them.
On June 18, 1913, the Council met
to consider the situation and immediately authorized the creation not of
a college of arts and sciences, for
which there were no funds, but
"courses in arts and sciences", most
of which, until 1918 or so, were
designed for pre-medical students.
Classes met for a year and a half in
the medical and dental buildings,
thereafter, until 1922, in Tovvnsend
Hall.
So the College of Arts and Sciences,
growing out of those almost incredible beginnings, is forty years old. It
graduated its first class of three in
1920. when the State Department of
Education approved its degrees. The
total number of degrees conferred
between 1920 and 1953 is 4,253.

The Schroeder Story
State's Mystery
The old "college try" brought cries
of anguish and hurried investigation
the campus of State Teachers College at Buffalo last month.
Cause of all the commotion was a
senior's picture in the College's annual yearbook which had just been
released for sale.
Prominently located near the photos
of several senior class officers was
that of a "William Schroeder, general
elementary senior". Yet no one could
recognize the purported senior.
Word from the registrar's office
verified the rapidly-mounting fears
of students and faculty members.
There were no records of any such
person at good ol' Buffalo State!
The Buffalo newspapers wrote it up
in that manner. And then, the mystery man came forward and identified
himself as Richard C. Allen, University of Buffalo freshman, whose home
is in Franklinville, N. Y. A frequent
visitor to the Elmwood Avenue campus, Dick revealed his identity to the
local papers in this way.
"Some of my buddies tried to have
their pictures taken just for laughs
and were turned down," he explained.
"So, I said, 'Oh heck, I can do it.
"I actually didn't think it could be
done, but it happened. I thought for
sure they'd check."
Asked how he managed to convince
the photographer, the U. B. freshman
replied. "I just gave him a line. He
even loaned me his tie."
Sources at State Teachers College
report that President Harvey Rice
had a good chuckle over the prank
and lists it among the funniest of his
academic career.

DR. PARRY LOSES TENURE REFUSING
TO TESTIFY BEFORE HOUSE COMMITTEE
On May 19th, Dr. William T. Parry,
associate professor of philosophy in
the College of Arts &amp; Sciences, took
refuge in the U. S. Constitution and
refused to answer questions of the
House of Representatives' Committee
on Un-American Activities as to his
employment and his home address in
1937 and 1938.
In refusing to testify freely and
frankly before the Committee, Dr.
Parry set off an investigation by his
colleagues which resulted in his losing
his tenure and as an associate professor, being placed on a one-year
appointment basis for the next three
years, and being placed in effect on
probation for that three-year period.
Dr. Parry had been called before
the Committee as a result of testimony before the Committee last February by Dr. Richard G. Davis, an
admitted ex-Communist wrho is now a
professor at Smith College. Dr. Davis
testified that he was recruited into
the Communist Party in 1938 by two
people, one of whom was Dr. Parry.
He stated that he had known nothing
of Dr. Parry since 1938.
When he appeared before the Committee, Dr. Parry reminded the Committee that he had sent it a letter on
May 15th in which he offered to waive
his constitutional protection against
self-incrimination and "freely and
frankly" answer questions about his
own activities, provided he not be
forced to "play the odious role of
informer". This offer was turned
down by Rep. Harold H. Velde, Chairman of the Committee.
Earlier in May, the faculty of the
University heard a statement of University policy, approved by the Faculty Advisory Committee and by the
General Administration Committee of
the University' Council, in which the
right of dissent and the right of a
professor to entertain and expound
any convictions to which honest study
and research have led him are firmly
endorsed. However, it states that the
University "cannot harbor on its faculty any present member of the Communist Party". Former membership
in the Party is not in itself a bar to
employment or retention, the statement adds.
The statement concludes by urging
faculty members, if called upon by a
legislative committee or any other
legally constituted authority, to
"testify freely and frankly". It adds
that "refusal to testify will make the
person refusing liable to suspension
without prejudice until, through the
procedure laid down in the University's Rules &amp; Regulations providing
for a hearing before a committee, he
can demonstrate to the proper authorities that he is qualified to continue as a member of the faculty. If
he fails so to demonstrate, he will be
subject to dismissal."

When Dr. Parry refused to testify,
Chancellor McConnell announced that
an investigation and hearing would be
held by the Executive Committee of
the College of Arts &amp; Scinces. Dr.
Parry appeared before this Committee
at four of its sessions.
The Committee made its recommendations to the Chancellor. He in
turn accepted them andrecommended
to the General Administration Committee of the University Council that
Dr. Parry be deprived of tenure,
effective July 1, 1953, and that his
appointment be an annual one for at
least three years thereafter.
Rules Which Authorized
U. B. Hearing for Parry
Following is the text of Article 11,
Section 7, of the Rules &amp; Regulations
of the University of Buffalo under
which the university's Executive Committee conducted hearings in the case
of Dr. William T. Parry, who refused
to testify "freely and frankly" before
the House Un-American Activities
Committee:
"The chancellor shall seek the advice of the Executive Committee regarding the appointment or promotion of each member of the faculty,
or the renewal for cause of any member of the faculty. The committee
shall also have power to recommend
to the chancellor the removal for
cause of any members of the faculty.
"Any member so recommended for
removal shall be entitled to a hearing
before the Executive Committee, and
at his election, may appeal, from the
decision of the Executive Committee
to a committee of seven, composed of
the chancellor as chairman, three
members of the Senate and three
members of the Council of the university.
"In all cases where the facts are
in dispute the teacher recommended
dismissal shall be informed in
writing before the hearing of the
charges against him. He shall be permitted to have with him an adviser of
his own choosing who may act as
counsel.
"There shall be a full stenographic
record of the hearing available to the
parties concerned. Each Executive
Committee shall keep a record of all
its meetings and a copy shall be sent
to the chancellor within one week of

for

each

meeting."

�Dr. McConnell's Statement on Parry
On May 19, 1953, Dr. William T,
Parry, associate professor of philosophy at the University of Buffalo
appeared before a sub-committee of
the House of Representatives Com-

mittee on Un-American Activities in
Washington, D. C, in response to a
subpoena. When questioned about his
past associations with the Communist
Party, he refused to testifyfreely and
frankly, invoking the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution of the
United States, on the ground of possible self-incrimination.
In taking this action, Dr. Parry
failed to comply with the policy of
the University of Buffalo regarding
Communist Party membership and
the giving of testimony before investigating bodies.
This policy (which had been formulated by an ad hoc committee, approved in principle by the Faculty
Advisory Committee, adopted by the
Committee on General Administration
of the Council of the University, and
announced to the faculty on May 8,
1953) stated, among other things,
"The university urges that members
of its faculty, if called upon by a
legislative committee or by any other
legally constituted authority, testify
freely and frankly, even though they
may not approve of the methods of
the investigating body or the wisdom
or propriety of its operations. Refusal
to testify will make the person liable
to suspension without prejudice until,
through the procedure laid down in
the university's rules and regulations,
providing for a hearing before a com-

mittee, he can demonstrate to the

appropriate authorities that he is
qualified to continue as a member of
the faculty. If he fails to demonstrate,
he will be subject to dismissal."

Dr. Parry Appears 4 Times
The Executive Committee of the
College of Arts and Sciences, following both this policy and acting within
the context of the rules and regulations of the university, took the initiative, and on May 22, 1953, resolved
to inquire into Dr. Parry's qualifications to continue as a member of the
faculty. {The Executive Committee
is a standing committee with eight
voting members elected by the faculty
of the college. The chancellor is chairman, and the dean of the college, vice
chairman, of this committee, both
without voting power.)
Subsequently Dr. Parry appeared
before the committee at four lengthy
sessions. In addition, the committee
heard statements from members of

the Department of Philosophy and
from several administrative officers
of the Department of Philosophy and
from several administrative officers
of the university. It also considered
certain relevant documents. These
meetings, together with the committee's deliberations, occupied a total
of more than 40 hours.
The hearings and deliberations

elicited certain statements and led
the committee to certain conclusions,
which may be summarized as follows:
1. Dr. Parry stated that he was an
active member of the Communist
Party from 1933 to 1942, had somewhat informal and occasional relationships to party affairs while in the
Army from 1942 to 1945, and decided
to dissociate himself from the party
in 1946.
He said he joined the Communist
Party in 1933 while an assistant in
philosophy at Harvard, but that his
Communist activities while he remained at Harvard, from 1933 to
1937, were not extensive. In 1938-39
after leaving Harvard, he was director of the Progressive Labor School
in Boston, an organization which was
closely associated with the Communist Party. In this period he was
active in party affairs, and was called
before a committee of the Massachusetts Legislature

investigating sub-

versive activities. On that occasion,
he testified openly that he was a
member of the Communist Party, and
no action was taken against him.
Joined Army in 1942
According to Dr. Parry, he left his
post as director of the Progressive
Labor School in Boston for reasons
which had nothing to do with politics.
He was employed in a WPA writer's
project until 1940. According to his
statement, this connection was terminated when, after having been asked
to sign an affidavit stating he was not
a member of a Communist or Fascist
organization, he stated under oath
that he was not a member of any
Fascist organization but was a member of the Communist Party.
He then became an unskilled
worker in a Boston furniture factory,
and was active in branch affairs of
the Communist Party until July 1942
when he enlisted in the United States
Army. He remained in the Army Air
Corps until December 1945.
After his discharge from the Army,
Dr. Parry was employed by the International Auxiliary Language Association of New York, an organization
which sponsors the promotion of an
international language similar to Esperanto. At the same time he taught
philosophy in the evening session of
Hunter College and a little later
worked also with the Veterans' Counselling Service at Hunter College.
In submitting his previous academic and professional record at the
time of his appointment at the University of Buffalo, he made no reference of his affiliation with the Boston
Progressive Labor School.
2. Dr. Parry stated to the committee that at the time he came to
the University of Buffalo in December
1946 he was no longer a member of
the Communist Party, and has not
been associated with party activities
since that time. He submitted to the

15
Executive Committee of the College
an affidavit to that effect, and also
certified under oath that he does not
believe in, and has not advocated, the
overthrow of the Government by force
or violence.
Affidavit of Doctor Parry

(Signed) WILLIAM T. PARRY,
(Signed) EMILY H. WEBSTER,
Notary Public, Erie County,
New York.
The reasons Dr. Parry gave for
leaving the Communist Party were
concern for the security of his wife
and child; his dislike of party discipline; a greater independence of mind
which he had acquired with more
maturity and which made it increasingly objectionable to him to have his
thinking done for him by the party;
and his desire for a career as a university teacher of philosophy, which
he realized would be incompatible
with party membership.
University Policy Cited

3. The committee obtained no evithat while at the University of
Buffalo Dr. Parry has attempted to
indoctrinate his students with Communist Party principles, either in or
outside of the classroom, or has
slanted his teaching in that direction.
4. The statement of university
policy previously referred to provides
that "former membership in the Communist Party is not in itself a bar to
employment or retention on the faculty, provided that such membership
was terminated in good faith, and
that the party principles were in good
faith repudiated."

.

The Parry Case

In his testimony on this point
before the Executive Committee, Dr.
Parry repudiated any intention of infiltrating educational institutions and
deceitfully perverting education for
party ends. He denied that he takes
ideas or beliefs ready-made from a
party dictatorship. He repudiated the
acceptance of dictation from Moscow.
He repudiated unwillingness to support the United States if it w^ere
attacked by any foreign power, including the Soviet Union. Dr. Parry
further

stated that he does not ad-

vocate overthrowing the Government
of the United States by force, though

he held that such methods might be
justifiedif that Government in an unconstitutional or illegal manner should
obstruct the will of the majority. He
acknowledged that Communist Party
leaders have not in the past been
seriously concerned about any ethical
necessity of having majority support
before instituting revolution and that
the same attitude is to be expected
of Communist parties and leaders in
the future. He did, however, dissociate himself from that party attitude.
The Executive Committee concluded
that if Dr. Parry had made these
statements in good faith, he had renounced the principles inimical to the
security of the United States which
the committee that drafted the university's policy statement had asserted were held by the Communist
Party.

Acts Violated Policy
The Executive Committee then addressed itself to the question of
whether Dr. Parry's statements had
been made in good faith. After weighing all it had heard and taking into
account all considerations pro and
con, the committee was inclined
toward an acceptance of Dr. Parry's
good faith and concluded that on the
basis of information nowr available to
the committee he should be held to
have conformed in this respect to the
requirements of the university's policy
statement. Although the Committee
believed the balance of its present
evidence favored this conclusion, it
nevertheless took the position that
the hearings as a whole justified a
recommendation that Dr. Parry
should be informed that the good
faith of his repudiation of party principles should be still on trial, and that
any new evidence that he has since
coming to Buffalo engaged, or does
in the future engage, in pro-Communist activities will lead to an immediate re-opening of the case.
5. In refusing to testify fully and
frankly before the Congressional Committee, Dr. Parry acted contrary to
the announced policy of the university and failed to show the candor
that might be reasonably expected of
a member of the faculty of the university, and, therefore, failed to act in

best interests of the institution.
The committee indicated that al-

the

though it viewed Dr. Parry's behavior
before the Congressional Committee
with grave concern, it considered that
his action was not sufficient to require dismissal from the faculty.

Is "Still on Trial"
The Executive Committee then
adopted the following resolution as a
recommendation to the Chancellor of
the University:
"In view of the fact that the
committee believes that the good
faith of Dr. Parry's repudiation of
party principles is still on trial; and
in view of the committee's grave
concern over his refusal to testify
freely and frankly before the House
Committee on Un-American Activities, the Executive Committee of
the College of Arts and Sciences
recommends: that Mr. Parry's status as a member of the faculty on
permanent tenure be revoked; that
he be placed on annual appointment as associate professor; that
the rules of the university providing that renewed appointments
as associate professor conferring
tenure shall not pertain to Mr.
Parry; that he be restored to permanent tenure only after positive
action by the appropriate university bodies; and that in no instance
shall he be restored to permanent
tenure within a period of at least
three years dating from July 1,

1953."
As chancellor
have examined,

of the university, I
in the light of the
university's announced policy concerning Communist Party membership and testimony before investigating committees, all statements and
all evidence presented to the Executive Committee of the College of
Arts and Sciences in the case of Dr.
William T. Parry. I am willing to
accept the Executive Committee's
judgment that the balance of the evidence at this time is in favor of Dr.
Parry's repudiation of those principles
of the Communist Party which are
inimical to the security of the United
States.

Silence Is Deplored
However, in view of the full proceedings before the Executive Committee, I agree with the committee's
judgment that Dr. Parry's good faith
in repudiating party principles should
be still on trial.
The reasons Dr. Parry gave the
Executive Committee for his refusal
to answer the questions of the Congressional Committee do not seem to
me to justify his action. There are
times when the truth must be stated,
let the chips fall where they may, and
in my opinion the hearing at which
Dr. Parry appeared in Washington
should have been just such a case. In

my judgment, the University of Buffalo established a sound policy in urging members of its faculty, if called
by a legislative committee or by any
other legally constituted authority, to
testify freely and frankly. This candor may be reasonably expected of a
member of a university faculty, and
it is unfortunate, in my judgment,
that Dr. Parry was unwilling to speak
as frankly before the Congressional
Committee as he appeared to speak
to the Executive Committee of his
college. It is true that the Fifth
Amendment of the Constitution under
certain circumstances exempts a witness from answering a question if his
testimony would incriminate him, but
the very nature of this privilege requires a university to reassess the fitness of a faculty member who invokes
it. Furthermore, membership on a
university faculty involves professional and academic responsibilities
which include candor about one's associations and actions. Therefore, I
agree with the Executive Committee
that his refusal to answer questions
asked of him by the Congressional
Committee has injured the good name
of the university.
Can Be Heard Further
With all these considerations in
mind I have decided to accept the
recommendations of the Executive
Committee of the College of Arts and
Sciences, and I therefore recommend
to the committee on General Administration of the Council of the University that Dr. Parry's status as a
member of the faculty on permanent
tenure be revoked; that he be placed
on annual appointment as associate
professor; that the rules of the university providing that renewed appointments as associate professor
conferring tenure shall not pertain to
Dr. Parry; that he be restored to
permanent tenure only after positive
action by the appropriate university
bodies; that in no instance shall he be
restored to permanent tenure within
a period of at least three years dating
from July 1, 1953, and that this action
be effective July 1, 1953, unless Dr.
Parry notifies the university in writing by that date that he wishes to be
heard further within the context of
the rules and regulations of the university.
I believe that this action recommended to me by the Executive Committee enables the University of Buffola both to exemplify and to protect
the tradition of freedom which is the
special strength of both this university and this nation. In conclusion,
I repeat and reaffirm the last sentence
of the university's statement of policy
in regard to Communist Party membership and the giving of testimony
before investigation bodies: "While
the university itself will continue to
do all in its power to promote and
protect the freedom of thought,
speech and action of its faculty members, it must count upon the full cooperation of its faculty in guarding
that freedom against abuses which
might destroy it."

Faculty You'll Remember:

DR.LESOIC.UMNGS
Dean of the School of Education; Summer Session Director;
Professor of Education.
New Englander, scholar, family
man, educator, adventurer, cattleman
—such are the varied activities and
interests of Dr. L. O. Cummings. He
looks back on a career as broad and
general as the background which has
resulted in his distinguished role as
educator.
Dr. Cummings is quick to acknowledge the inspiration of President Eliot
of Harvard which contributed to a
career of accomplishment and satisfaction. The Dean was not possessed,
as are most youngsters, by one powerful ambition which may or may not
lead to ultimate vocational choice. He
had several goals, the following and
subsequent abandonment of which
resulted in a background comparable
to the liberal education program of
today.
A Harvard

man

all the

way, Dr.

Cummings received his AB degree in
1910, his AM in 1911, and his EdD in
1921. While completing requirements
for the advanced degrees, Dr. Cummings was principal of the Stone
Grammar School in Walpole, Mass.,

from 1910-1912. Also a teacher in the
school, he was somewhat set back to
learn that the teacher in the next room
had taught in that room for as many
years as he was old. She felt that he
would never be able to handle the five
hundred enrolled pupils. This attitude
served as a challenge and was, perhaps, a prime factor in his success
there.
Franklin and Wrentham, Mass., testified to his achievements by appointing him Superintendent of Schools
from 1914 -1918. Near the end of
World War I he served in various
capacities with the Federal Board for
Vocational Education. A member of

the School Survey, Hampton Institute,
Virginia, in 1917 and of a similar survey in Winchester, Mass., in 1920, Dr.
Cummings was led by these experiences to the associate directorship of
the survey at Augusta, Me. in 1922, at
Lancaster, Pa., and at Cambridge,
Mass., in 1924. He then became director of the survey at Cape Cod in 1924,
and director of the surveys at Lowell,
Mass., and Boston in 1927. These activities were being conducted in part
during his years of teaching at Harvard where he had been recalled in
1920 to serve as Instructor in Education in the Graduate School of Education. Subsequently, Dr. Cummings
advanced to the position of Assistant
then Associate Professor of Education
at Harvard before becoming the first
head of the Department of Education
at the University of Buffalo in 1930.
The following year he was made Dean
of our University's new School of
Education. In addition to his duties as
Dean he was appointed Director of the
Summer Session, a capacity in which
he has served since 1933.
Determination and forthrightness
have characterized his dealings and
associations over the years, and have
been keenly felt in an experiment
sparked by two men, SamuelP. Capen
and L. O. Cummings. Theirs has been
a partnership in educational trial
which not only led to our present
School of Education, but set the pace
for similar programs in other Universities. The success of this pioneering
can be measured by the ever-increasing scroll bearing the names of leaders
in the academic world, each of whom
has gained that intangible, yet undeniable mark of the pioneering partnership. Their names are those of university presidents, national leaders,

schoolroom personnel and above all,
parents and homemakers.
Despite heavy administrative duties,

Dr. Cummings has maintained membership in such professional groups as
the Association of School Administrators, American Education Fellowship,
Buffalo Schoolmasters Association,
Erie County Schoolmasters Association, Phi Beta Kappa, and Phi Delta
Kappa.

The Dean, in addition to his profesactivities, has pursued extensively his hobby of raising Black
Angus cattle on his farm in ColeRoad,
Orchard Park. Those familiar with the
complications of cattle raising will be
astonished to find that the Dean has
found the time and energy to attend so
thoroughly to his sideline. After retirement from his professional duties he
looks forward to devoting more time
to possible blue ribbon competition.
sional

Recently, at a dinner given in his
honor by several hundred loyal and
devoted colleagues and two professional fraternities, L. O. Cummings
accepted the high tributes offered by
his associates from all professional
levels of the University and of the
community. They came to acknowledge their respect and recognition of
his many contributions to the field of
education and to express their expectations for still further contributions
in his continuing capacity of Professor. Characteristically he responded,
"This honor is not for me alone, but
for all others who took part in this
great adventure". Great adventure is
the goal of every man's life. As Dean,
Dr. Cummings has fulfilled this ambition in one of education's richest
explorations.

DR. CAPEN'S BOOK PRESENTED IN REVIEW
The Management of Universities
By Samuel P. Capen, Chancellor-Emeritus. University of Buffalo. Foster A Stewart Pub. Corp., Buffalo. $4.75.

To have been associated, whether

intimately or not. with Chancellor
Capen as a colleague in administration or in teaching was in itself a liberal education. The word "colleague"
is no mere compliment. Invariably
and quite naturally he looked upon
the faculty as colleagues and paid
genuine, not lip-service, respect to
their opinions. He rarely expressed
himself in faculty meetings for fear
of unduly influencing the vote, but if
pressed to do so, he summed up the
argument and in a few minutes gave
it cogency and direction.
This book is Dr. Capen talking, not
only in faculty meeting but in his
home; not only to an audience but to
his intimate friends. There was no
difference in the thoughtfulness. "The
Management of Universities" (not too
happy a title) is a distillation of the
philosophy upon which his long ad-

ministration was based. He and Proesup
the book; the former with his characteristic modesty, the latter with his
usual discrimination. It is, then, a
book not only of Capen's writings but
of his sense of their comparative and
even historical importance.
To many alumni it will, perhaps
poignantly, bring back a baccalaureate
address pointing up the dynamic connection between the four years just
ending and the career of usefulness
just beginning. To the Council (the
sponsors of the volume) it should
fessor Oscar Silverman chose the
says and addresses which make

days of their gradually increasing sense of partnership in an
enterprise not only financially challenging but spiritually uplifting. It
may recall to them, too, what they
may have considered at the time to be
his stubborness. Even though the
physical advantage of the University
may have pointed otherwise, he always
held out unswervingly against arbitrary control cf educational policies by
outside influences, no matter how important, whether the State of New
York, an accrediting agency, or a great
foundation which might have been solicited for funds. But all this paid dividends of consistency and integrity.
recall the

For better or for worse, an American university head occupies a position
of enormous power and responsibility,
unparalleled abroad. He is asked to
give an authoritative opinion on matters of religion, athletics, economics,
international relations; and all too
often he does so, forgetting occasionally that by implication he is deemed
to commit his university to his views.
Most presidents don't like this. They
are forced into it. Some years ago an
article called "Prexy" appeared in
Harper's. It was, not surprisingly,
anonymous but the internal evidence
points to the authorship of James L.

McConaughy of Wesleyan University.

concludes: "We think the public
often expects too much of us and our
colleges. We would like you to understand clearly what sort of folk we are.
Please do not expect the impossible of
us; we cannot educate your sons and
daughters unless they have the capacity for self-education within them. We
know that many experiences educate
just as effectively as a college. We do
not want the public to consider us
supermen or individuals disdainful of
those who are not college trained."
Capen would subscribe to that. This
book illustrates it.
The "New Yorker" once brought to
the attention of the "House Committee
on Un-ornithological Activities" a sign
in the Buffalo Zoo: "This eagle never
fishes for himselfif he can rob the more
skillful and industrious fish-hawk. The
eagle is our national emblem." Why
did Dr. Capen "rob" the foundations so
seldom? There may have been several
reasons. One perhaps was the unorthodoxy of his ideas. (A few years passed
and the educational world caught up
with them). One was perhaps the newness of the university sponsoring them.
Surely a third reason was his reluctance to try out an idea on a potential
giver (or anyone else) unless he himself was thoroughly convinced of its
validity. And Dr. Capen was not easily
convinced of anything; but when he
was, he would say something like
"Sane but courageous experimentation
is the law of educational progress"
and such experimentation needs financial as well as moral support. So,
hating like all New Englanders to beg
for money, he girded up his loins and
finally set forth.
Some of these advocacies of desirable experiments did indeed need courage as wellas sanity. One which chiefly
comes to mind is the address delivered
at the annual meeting of the American Association of University Professors in 1936, when he reproached
the association for drawing sharp lines
between teachers and administrators.
The controversary attracted by that
address lasted a long time.
Still another of that type is an essay
in the "Journal of General Education"
for July, 1947, entitled "The Teaching
Profession and Labor Unions," which
commences in such a forthright way as
this: "My thesis can be stated very
briefly. Teachers, as teachers, should
not joinlabor unions. Bodies of teachers should not become locals of the
A.F.L. of C.1.0. Non-unionized groups
of teachers should not form alliances
with national labor organizations for
the purpose of betteringtheir economic
condition." And toward the end of the
essay: "A teachers' strike is, of course,
an anomaly. But it is worse than an
anomaly. It is a triple act of treason
..." This article was, Ithink, written
about the time of a ten-day strike of
teachers in the Buffalo schools. For a
while, it made him intensely unpopular
among a group whose support of the
University is, of course, extremely valuable.

These are two examples of his courage, whether you approve or not.
Another, regarding which there can
hardly be a difference of opinion, was
his inaugural, unfortunately not here
included. It was a carefully thought
out program (as far, at least, as the
liberal arts were concerned) for the
whole of his administration, from
which he deviated little in practice, not
at all in theory, during the next
twenty-seven years. Many of the other
papers ring the variations on a single
academic freedom for both

faculty and students
his constant
devotion to which was a shield that
hundreds of spears came to be broken
against. To his successor it is a precious legacy, to faculty and students a
hope that they will not abuse it.
Have these papers anything in common beyond a general discussion of the
problems of higher education ? I
believe they have, and what they all
have is clarity. The most austere of
all mental qualities is the sense of
style. It is primarily an aesthetic sense,
based on admiration for the direct attainment of a foreseen end, simply and
without waste. I am sure that not even
as a boy did Sam Capen write foggily.
A style like his, so simple anddirect as
not to seem to deserve the word style,
is the exclusive privilege of the expert.
Style is always the product of specialist study, the peculiar contribution of
specialism to culture. Educationists
speak pedagogese, educators speak
English. These essays reveal not only
a spirit of true, constructive liberalism
but a mind nurtured from childhood by
great books.
A word in conclusion about the book
as a book. It is well and simply bound;
it is extraordinarily easy to read. The
type is large (twelve-point), the paper
of the sort that most contemporary
books just don't have
that is one
reason why they are so contemporary.

UNIVERSITY HAS ITS FIRST OUTDOOR COMMENCEMENT

865 GRADUATES ADDED TO THE ALUMNI ROLES
The University gained 865 new graduates as the University held its first outdoor commencement on the campus
on Sunday, fune Ith. The exercises, the University's 107th Commencement, took place in front of Lockwood Library,
with the speakers standing on the Library steps. Chairs for an audience of more than 5,000 were placed on the lawn
in the area between Crosby and Foster Halls. The Commencement address was delivered by Chancellor T. R. McConnell
who emphasized the necessity for corporation, industrial, public, and alumni interest in the private colleges and
universities if they are to survive.

University Has Its
First Executive Development Program
University's School of Business Administration held its first executive
development program this summer
from June Bth to 27th.
Designed to divorce the juniorexecutive's thinking from everyday routine and to widen his horizon of thinking so that he will recognize and
better understand the problems and
functions of other departments and
their relations to the profits of a

company, the program was limited to
25 men for its first session.
Dr. Robert W. Johnson, assistant
professor of finance, was the program's director and coordinated the
lectures and discussion sessions in the
areas of business administration and
policy formulation, industrial and human relations, and economic and
governmental relations. The "students" lived in the dormitories while
attending the program.

McGrath to Head
University ofKansas City

G.A.B. HONORS GANIM, ELECTS ORR

Earl J. McGrath, BA'2B, MA'3O,
former U. S. Commissioner of Education, was recently named president
of the University of Kansas City. His
appointment was announced by the
Board of Trustees.
Dr. McGrath served on the faculty
of the University of Buffalo for seven
years and, following service with the
Navy in World War 11, became Dean
of Liberal Arts at the University of
lowa. He left that position to become
Commissioner of Education, where he
served until his resignation last April.

Analytical Chemists
Have Reunion
The Park Lane Restaurant of Buffalo was the scene of the annual
gathering for alumni of the Analytical Chemistry courses, the forerunners of the University's present program in chemistry.
Speaker of the evening was Dr.
Albert P. Sy, PhD'oB, retired professor of chemistry and honorary president of the group. His classroom
popularity came to the fore again as
he conducted the serious and humorous portions of the program just as
if those attending were once again
in his class.
Arthur Flentge, AC'l7, was elected
president for the coming year. Other
officers elected are: Chester J. Bald,
AC'2O, first vice-president; Matilda
Rossell, AC'2O, BS'36, second vicepresident ; Vera Wetmore Jones,
AC'23, secretary-treasurer.
Ex-students and alumni of this
division are urged to contact the
Alumni Office to assure correct addresses and the receipt of all association notices. President Flentge
announces the 1954 annual dinner has
been set for the first Friday in May.

Henderson Now
U. S. Attorney for WNY
John O. Henderson, LLB'33, was
nominated by President Eisenhower
last month and his confirmation by
the U. S. Senate followed shortly
thereafter as U. S. Attorney for
Western New York.
Chairman of the Republican Speaker's Bureau for Erie County in the
last presidential

campaign, Henderson

has relinquished his participation in
the law firm of Cohen, Fleischmann,
Augspurger, Henderson &amp; Campbell.
Son of a pioneer in vocational education, the former high school athlete,
and ex-soldier was president of his
freshman and sophomore classes at
the University. He is the first Republican to hold the Attorney's post since
1935.
Among the first to express confidence in the new appointee and offer
best wishes was the man he succeeds,
George L. Grobe, LLB'O9.

Pictured above, left to right, are
William J. Orr, MD'2O, new president
of the General Alumni Board; G.
Thomas Ganim, BS'24, LLB'27, recipient of the Samuel P. Capen Alumni
Award for 1953; and Robert E. Rich,
BS(Bus)'3s, retiring president of the
Board.
Occasion for the picture was the
annual spring meeting of the General
Alumni Board, held June 10th, in
the Park Lane Restaurant. More than
50 members of the Board, all representatives of their divisional alumni
associations or the branch alumni
clubs throughout the nation, met to
hear the reports of their officers, elect
new officers, and present the Capen
award.

DDS'2I, a
Committee
of the Board, was chairman of the
Capen Award Committee and presented the plaque commemorating the
Award to Mr. Ganim. Dr. Mimmack
noted that his committee had found
Mr. Ganim's selection "both inevitable
and unanimous, so important and continuous have been his activities in
behalf of the alumni and the University".
Dr. Mimmack stated that the award
is presented annually to an alumnus
"who has made notable and meritorious contributions to his University and to its alumni family, such
contributions influencing the growth
and improvement of the University
and stimulating other alumni to give
active interest and material support
to the University".
He went on to cite Mr. Ganim's
unbroken record of participation in
alumni affairs since graduation, especially calling attention to his participation in aH four financial campaigns of the University and his
Edward F. Mimmack,
member of the Executive

chairmanship of the Alumni Participation Committee during the current
Development Campaign. He reminded
his listeners of Mr. Ganim's chairmanship of the Alumni Loyalty Fund
for three years and his recent distinguished presidency of the General

Alumni Board.
Retiring president Rich reviewed
for the Board the participation of
alumni as workers and contributors
in the current Development Campaign. Mr. Rich also urged the Board
to continue its activities in behalf of
the University and the alumni and
bespoke for the new president the
same cooperation and air which it had
been his pleasure to have during the
past year.
The Board also heard Chancellor
T. R. McConnell express his appreciation to the alumni for their understanding and vigorous support of the
University's expansion and financial
campaign. Dr. Claude E. Puffer,
treasurer and comptroller, also addressed the members briefly, commenting on the progress made in
creating the new facilities on campus.
New officers of the General Alumni
for the next year include, in addition
to Dr. Orr: Burt G. Weber, LLB'I9,
president-elect; Charles Percival, BS
(Bus)'47, vice-president for activities;
Thomas R. Hinckley, BA'5O, vicepresident for associations and clubs;
Owen B. Augspurger, Jr., LLB'37,
vice-president for bequests; Harry G.
LaForge, PhG'23, MD'34, MS(Med)'37,
vice-president for funds; Phyllis
Matheis Kelly, BA'42, vice-president
for public relations.
President Orr appointed the following as advisors: L. Halliday Meisburger, DDS'I9; Edward F. Mimmack, DDS'2I; and Mearl D. Pritchard, PhG'2l.

�Rochester Program
Attracts Alumni
The opening dinner of the Development Campaign in the Rochester area
was a successful affair in manyways.
But so welcome were the many reunions of the graduates that all attending voted on the spot to re-establish the dormant alumni club.
Officers were quickly elected and
they promised a program of monthly
luncheons would start the following
month.
The first luncheon was held in May
and attracted 50 alumni. Speaker was
T. W. Van Arsdale, BA'3B, MA'4O,
University's director of alumni relations. The second luncheon proved
equally popular with the graduates
when they gathered to hear James E.
Peelle, University's director of athletics.
At the second luncheon, cards were
passed out to those who had paid
their annual membership dues of one
dollar. President Hyman Mandell,
PhG'23, announced that the luncheon
meetings will recess for the summer
and resume in September.
Officers of this active organization,
in addition to Mr. Mandell, include:
vice-presidents, Isadore Wilinsky, MD
'28; George Montgomery, SWk'49,

was the response
of Mr. Simon's
friends in national and international music
circles in participating in this
memorial scholarship fund that applications are already being accepted bythe University's com-

mittee on scholarships.
In addition to individual contributions to the Fund, several artists
have made known their intention to

scholarship, announces this fitting
memorial, reading in part: "This
scholarship is established as a memlawyer
orial to D. Bernard Simon
and businessman who was interested
in music in all its forms, including
the composing of music, and had been
interested in musical education for all
who desire it. This Fund is dedicated
to his memory in the hope that it will
be of help to young people who are
interester primarily in musical careers. This scholarship shall be open
both to boys and girls entering the

Yes, You Can Still Have Your Name
on "The Scroll

As a

matter

of Honor"

of fact, the area campaigns in certain

centers

are still going on and

the names of those who pledge one share of $150 or more in those campaigns will
be added to this list.

Actually, a pledge of

$150 or

more—whatever the amount —is payable over a

period of three years, an important consideration when one is thinking in
his income

tax

terms

of

deductions.

For those whoreside in the areas of Buffalo and other centers where campaigns
have "run their course" and whose names are

not

listed here, the procedure for

getting their names listed is easy. Simply write Owen G. Augspurger, Jr., '37, Chairman of the Development Campaign, University of Buffalo, Buffalo 14, New York,

letting him know of your intention to pledge a share or more.

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS BETTER
The football Bulls are sure of one
thing: the final records will be an improvement over the 1952 results.
For the first time in several years,
the squad numbers forty and the boys
cheer and sing their way through the
stiff workout periods assigned by
Head Coach Fritz Febel.
Since September Ist the team has
had two drills a day with accent on
conditioning and fundamentals. Now,
with school under way, the workouts
have decreased to one per day. The
two hour sessions are devoted mainly
to strategy and play execution.
Captain Ray Chamberlin, above
left, veteran performer at guard or

for October

17th

end, leads the squad with the aid of
Bill Crowley, returned halfback, and
Elmer Jahn, 220-pound fullback who
led last season's scoring column. Chief
morale and humor man is tough little
"Bumper" Movesian, who can crack
cement from his post at halfback. Ray
Kennedy, the lad who sparked last
year's modified "T" attack is at the
quarterback spot again. Directly in
front of Kennedy will be either of two
experienced centers, both over 200
pounds in weight. Starting will be
Ron Laßocque, above right, with relief
assignments going to big Ed Hoeflich.
Flanking the centers will be guards
Bill Kindel, an up-and-coming sophomore, along with Paul Waldmiller
and Fran Mormul.
The tackle spots will be filled by
newcomer George Evans, who goes
225 pounds and measures 63" barefoot, along with Ernie Kiefer, another
letterman, and Bill Friday, Bob
Steffenhagen and Pete Notaro.
With experience and depth, not to
mention daily additions such as Tom
Radich, the speediest guard in years,
Fritz Febel and company can't help
looking forward to a better year.

MEDICAL-DENTAL DEDICATION SET FOR DEC. 11th &amp; 12th;
ALUMNI LUNCHEON SCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY NOON

The dedication ceremonies for SamP. Capen Hall, new home of the
Medical and Dental Schools on campus, will be held on Friday and Saturday, December 11th and 12th. All
alumni and friends of the University
will be invited.
uel

The actual dedication ceremony will
take place on Friday, December 11th,
at 10 A.M. with University officers,
alumni leaders, educators, and Council
members taking part.
Following the ceremony there will
begin a distinguished series of conferences spanning the next day and a
half, climaxed on Saturday noon,
December 12th, with the annual
alumni luncheon for all alumni in
Clark Memorial Gymnasium.

At the luncheon, the University
again will honor by citation certain
alumni and citizens who have made
outstanding contributions to their
chosen professions or who have distinguished themselves in community
and civic affairs.
The program for the conferences
will emphasize medical and dental
education and progress in certain
areas of those professions. On Friday morning, following the dedication,
several prominent medical and dental

educators

will discuss current trends
in professional training. On Friday
afternoon, there will be sessions on

Norton's New Wing
Ready This Month

the basic sciences. In the evening,
there will be a meeting at which a
nationally prominent citizen will speak
on topics in medicine and dentistry
of interest to the lay public.

The new wing being1added to Norton Hall, the student union building
on campus, will be ready for occupancy late this month.
Costing approximately $500,000, the
new addition will increase the dining
facilities from 200 to 350, provide a
new snack bar,
add space for 100
more students in
lounge room facilities, add meeting rooms, provide for an expanded game
room, add four
new private dining rooms, and
create new quarters for the bookHunt, '32
store.
Need for the new addition was accentuated by the increase in student
enrollment from 4123 students in 1934,
when Norton was built, to a present
enrollment of about 9,000. The construction of three new dormitories
last year and the movement of the
Medical and Dental schools to campus
this Fall made the addition even more
a necessity.
Miss Dorothy Mae Haas, BS(Bus)
'32, continues as the Union's popular

On Saturday morning, December
12th, leading physicians and researchers have been secured as speakers on
the most recent advances in certain
important areas of medicine and dentistry. Following the alumni luncheon
at noon, the Medical and Dental students will be hosts at an "open house"
in their new building, and guided
tours have been arranged.

The committee in charge of the
dedication and conference is headed
by Dean Stockton Kimball, MD'29,
and includes Dean Leon J. Gauchat,
DDS'I9; Alumni President William J.
Orr, MD'2O; Edgar C. Beck, MD'l9;
L. Halliday Meisburger, DDS'I9;
Edward F. Mimmack, DDS'2I; Dr.

WERE YOU A GIRL
WHEN YOU WENT TO U. B.?

.

by Barbara Martin Glass, '46, and Virginia M. Ross, '49

..

cause if you were we need you.
There's another development campaign in full swing, and this one is
for the development of your interest
in the University
;of Buffalo Alumnae Association.
You are interested. Fine! So
;
how about joining
in the fun and
giving a helping
hand with the ac-1
tivities and events
for this coming
year? All you
Glass, '46
have to dois come
up to Norton Hall Tuesday night,
October 20th, and become an active
member overnight.
Who belongs to the Alumnae Association? Any woman who attended
the University of Buffalo is eligible,
whether you received your degree or
not. Everyone knows the girl who
only attended classes for two years is
just as interested in the welfare of
the University as the girl who received
her degree.
How is the Association organized ?
That's another reason we would like
to see you at the meeting Tuesday.
We would like to explain the elections
to the Board of Directors and Officers.
What is there for you to do? Lots!
You may have your choice of many
important committees. There's Publicity. All sorts of jobs on the Fashion Show Committee, or the Alumni
Dance to be held in June. Or maybe
you have a few ideas of your own on
some new activities.
You are welcome if you would just
like to ask questions or make suggestions. Besides it's a wonderful oppor-

tunity to see your friends whom you
have lost track of, or just haven't had
a chance to see in the last year or so.
This organization is not all business.

We like to "live it up a little", so
there will be refreshments after the
meeting-.
Easy! Now all you have to do is be

at Norton Auditorium at 8:30 on
Tuesday, October 20th. We are expecting- every last one of you who was
ever a U.B. coed.
Other Activities
The full program of events has not
yet been completed for the year. In
fact, it probably won't be until we've
had a chance to get together at that
"reunion" on October 20th because
the Alumnae program is one of and
for the Alumnae.
However, two events can't escape
being re-scheduled. One of these is
the sth annual Scholarship Luncheon
and Fashion Show to be held in March,
always one of the most successful of
alumni affairs. The other will be the
second annual Alumnae Dance, to be
held June 12th at the Buffalo Trap
and Field Club.
You'll enjoy these and other events
on the Alumnae program. Plan to be
a part of them!

Social Work
Alumni Organizing

Alumni of the School of Social work
are well on the road to a new organization, having held two meetings this
spring and summer. The first, at
the Jewish Center of Buffalo, ironed
out details for the constitution, and
the second gathering this summer appointed a committee to draft the final
edition.
Social work alumni have been organized for professional and social
purposes in Rochester and Syracuse.
The addition of a much-needed Buffalo chapter will permit progress on
a new over-all association, starting
with three chapters and spreading to
areas of Social Work alumni concentration throughout the nation.
A fall meeting of the Buffalo area
alumni is planned at which the final
constitution will be adopted, officers
elected, and a definite program of
activities initiated.
Coordinators for the progress to
date have been Elmer J. Tropman.
BA'32, MA'35, SWk'37; and Bruce
Falkey. SWk'4o, MSS'4I; who have
been assisted by Anthony Kaye, SWk
'44, MSS'S2, of the faculty of the
School of Social Work.

Cleveland Alumni
Dine and Dance
When the University station wagon
pulled into Gates Mills, Ohio, its occupants were scarcely aware of the
spirit and participation to be exhibited by members of Cleveland Alumni
Club on Saturday evening, September
12th.
Dr. and Mrs. Robert Stockton,
MD'4O, welcomed forty alumni guests
at the doorway to their stable's rumpus room. Dr. and Mrs. Kent L.
Brown, MD'42, were in charge of arrangements that included a buffet
supper followed by a "Vic" dance.
Couples arrived bearing contributions
for all courses of the supper, little
realizing that the length of the party
would almost necessitate provisions
for breakfast.
Buffalo songs, music and laughter
echoed over the Ohio hills until the
wee small hours. Thomas R. Hinckley,
BA'5O, Vice-President for Clubs and
Associations of fche General Alumni
Board and J. William Everett, BS
(Bus)'sO, Assistant Director of Alumni Relations, represented the University at what they described as one of
the most spirited alumni reunions
they'd ever seen.

DOCTOR, FOR YOUR
APPOINTMENT BOOK!

The Alumni Association of the
Medical School has set its annual Spring Clinical Day for
Saturday, March 20, 1954, at
Hotel Statler. Buffalo.
If your graduation year appears in this list, you've got a
swell reunion coming up, so
make a special note that you'll
have no office hours that date:
reunions for the classes of '84,
'89, '94, '99, '04, '09, "14, '19, '24,
'34, '39, '44, and '49 will be held
that night.

Alumnae Dance Aids
Women's Residence
George F. Lamm Post, American
Legion in Williamsville, was the scene
of many reunions for graduates of
recent years when University Alumnae
sponsored their first dance, Saturday.

June 6th.
Held for the purpose of adding to
the furnishing fund of the women's
residence hall, the reunion dance was
the "brain-child" and project of Irene
Graham Sears, BA'5O, better known
as "Cracker", who enlisted the aid of
graduates from the classes of 1947-1950 to act as the committee.
The affair featured, among other
highlights, huge posters in various
parts of the hall which displayed the
names of outstanding student hangouts of the past and present. The dance
was so successful that plans are being
formulated to make it an annual
affair, based on a similar theme, to aid
worthy student and campus causes.
Leaders in various committee assignments were: SarahKennedy Wehling, BA'5l, tickets; Helen Nauth
Knight, BS(Bus)'4B, publicity; Ruth
Kintner Starr, BS(Bus)'49, and Darleigh Satrum, Aex's2, decorations;
Mildred Short Mayo, BA'4O, EdM'4l,
and Mabel Schraft Munschauer, BA
'40, door; Nancy Sheehan, BA'5l,
alumni research.
Graduates and ex-students interested in the promotion or details of
next June's dance are urged to contact Miss Sheehan at the Alumni
Office.

VictorBorge Plays
For Simon Music Fund
The esteem in which his many
friends and colleagues held the late
D. Bernard Simon, LLB'3O, was eloquently expressed when they packed
Kleinhans Music Hall last month to
hear a concert by Victor Borge, concert, radio, and television pianist.
The concert was presented by the
D. Bernard Simon Music Scholarship
Fund, the first fund created for the
new music department at the University. Mr. Borge, close personal
friend of Mr. Simon, "contributed"
his concert as well which, of course,
generously added to the proceeds.
The standing-room-only sign was
out at least two days before the concert.

Well, here's how it happened. When

they selected a road map—actually
just one that happened to be at hand
—and used it as a background for the
picture of the station wagon and the

cities and towns were noted on the

"Mechanical Brain"
A "mechanical brain" —analog-computer—costing about $10,000 was installed by the University this month.
The machine will be used at first for
graduate students doing research in
physics, but Dr. Lyle W. Phillips,
chairman of the physics department,
states that it may eventually be applied to the problems of local industrial laboratories. The computer was
purchased under a grant from the

Dr. Sewall Publishes
Book on Western Art

One of the most comprehensive
studies of Western art ever attempted
is the one-thousand-page volume, "A
History of Western Art", by Dr. John
I. Sewall, University's professor and
head of the art department. The book
was published last month by Henry
Holt &amp; Co.
Artists call the book a "monumental job" and predict that it will
be an important work for students
and others seriously interested in art.

Faculty

You'll Remember:

Dr. Carlos C. Alden,
LLB, LLM, JD
and Former Dean

reat Ameri-

ans, and Dr.
lden is no exeption. His
rthplace, Wilington, Dli-

Simplicity, greatness, truth and
honor are all embodied in countless
tributes paid to this man, teacher,
counselor and friend.
Perhaps the tribute he cherishes
most is the one paid by a former
student, now a leading personality in
the profession of law, when he told a
large audience that each student of
Carlos C. Alden had carried away a
touch of "Alden's Disease." Let us
hope that this is one "disease" that
will continue to spread, unchecked, to
the far ends of the earth.
For here is a man who holds no
degree from the University of Buffalo,
yet whose very being is firmly etched
into the fabric of every University of
Buffalo lawyer's degree, not to mention the hearts of practicing- graduates and generations of students yet
unborn.
To use words and lines in this story
to list the honors and accomplishments of Carlos C. Alden would be
redundant, for there is probably not
one alumnus who could not recite
most of the biographical facts concerning the man who, for thirty-two
years was Dean of the University's
Law School.
The proverbial "little red school
house" certainly has done all right by

ois, didn't
aim him for
ong. His family
turned to its
ome area of
3angor, Maine,
nd the oneoom school
house. There with children two and
three times his own age, he learned
the "P's and Q's" that were to lead
him to the degrees of LLB, LLM, and
the honorary degree of Doctor of
Jurisprudence.

His grandfather, himself a noted
New England attorney, would have
been proud as only a man from "down
East" can be proud when, in 1904,
Adelbert Moot, former Dean of the
Law School traveled to New York
City to offer the University of Buffalo
position to Dr. Alden.
His arrival in Buffalo commenced
thirty-two years of Deanship which
have been followed by full days of lecturing and writing, both in school and
outside.
Still residing at 27 Ashland Avenue,
his first and only home in our city, Dr.
Alden is one of few Buffalonians
fortunate enough to list among past
acquaintances such men as Teddy
Roosevelt, Governor Charles E.
Hughes, and Herbert Lehman. Such
a list of noted personal friends could
well fill two pages, as could his
numerous lectures and writings for
the legal profession.
"Once having seen the right road,
he never varied", said one former
student .. and that applies with

.

Professor of Law
of the Law School

equal emphasis to his varied activities
as Dean. Instrumental in leading the
school to national prominence, Carlos
C. Alden could and still does exert a
firm hand in dealing with student
problems such as the tattoo of "gallopin' dominoes" echoing from the
senior locker room.
What other professor has ever been
welcomed back from an extended illness by students rising as one to
applaud and cheer their "Doc" ? For
that matter, what other college professor has ever been completely surprised at having his students present
him with a pre-paid trip to Europe for
the summer? Such was the experience of Dr. Alden when the class of
1929 paid tribute to their favorite pro-

fessor.
His illustrious past has included
thirty-three years as president of the
Legal Aid Bureau, an organization
which he helped to found. One of the
most valued honors is the Alden Gold
Key Award, initiated in 1949, to recognize outstanding contributions to
the field of legal publishing by a law
student.
It is with a glint in his eyes and
obvious pride that Dr. Alden mentions
the accomplishments of his two sons,
John and Carlos Coolidge, Jr., MD'39.
the former a vice-president of a leading pharmaceutical firm in New York
State, the latter a much-decorated Lt.
Col. of the Air Force Medical Corps,
who received the Distinguished Service Cross from General Mark Clark
for gallantry at Anzio.
Sharing in Dean Alden's many
honors has been his charming and
friendlywife, whose smile and chuckles
are every bit as captivating as those
of the "foster father of law", as he
has been called on numerous occasions.

UNIVERSITY'S SPORTS DATES

Sanford Is
Dean ofRackets
There's a small, crowded room adjacent to the Clark Gynasium locker
room which serves as headquarters for
University's "Dean of Rackets."
Efficient to the Nth degree, he can
best be consulted
during a congested lunch hour
when he extracts
a hot plate, coffee
pot and assorted
condiments from
a locker located
behind his desk
chair, much as
the magician
pulls rabbits from
a hat. Well, if it's
coffee and sandwiches that acSanlord, 49. 'SO
count for his
amazing success in coaching, let's set
In the period of slightly over three
years' coaching, William H. Sanford's
tennis teams have participated in flftytwo matches. They have lost only three
with forty-nine on the win side of the
ledger. The Spring season just completed resulted in eleven wins, one loss.
Bill Sanford's coaching record is
second only to his popularity withboth
students and faculty members. Graduated from Amherst Central High
School in 1938, he has had varied experience as knitted goods salesman,
Ist Lt., U. S. Field Artillery, college
student and author, not to mention his
swimming and tennis coaching at the

University.
Following a student career as athlete, president of the Physical Education Majors (PEMS) and participant
in numerous student affairs, Bill graduated from the School of Education
with an Ed.B. and high honor in 1949.
He has since received the degree of
EdM, conferred in 1950.
The coaching began with a graduate
assistantship granted in 1948. After
on year, Sanford was named head
coach of tennis and swimming.

His team members will tell the
alumni he's a man to meet. Next time
you visit campus, it's a sure bet you'll
find him somewhere in the vicinity of
the courts, the pool, or the coffee pot.
He's too busy breaking records to be
elsewhere.

LETTERS AND "BUFFALO TALK"
The visits which the Director of Alumni Relations and his assistants have made among
alumni throughout the country during the past year have been rewarding experiences in many
ways which have been reported to alumni through the pages of theAlumni Bulletin.
However, much that has been heard and learned has not been reported, chiefly because
it consists of personal reactions, opinions, and proposals suggested by individual alumni. It
just doesn't seem right to report these without the explicit permission of thealumni involved.

Coupled with the refreshing experience of hearing alumni speak out forthrightly and
intelligently about their University, there has been another. It is that the last half dozen
issues of the Alumni Bulletin have elicited a surprising volume of mail from alumni.
Putting it conservatively, there has been at least a score of letters sent to the editor
about each issue of theBulletin. Further—and they love it—the Director of Alumni Relations and his staff meet many of your alumni and faculty friends daily
the sort of thing
you'd like to hear about.

Hence it is that this page hereafter will be devoted

to

"Letters" and "Buffalo-Talk". If

"Letters" will be devoted to those sent in by alumni who comment on the magazine or
its contents or who specifically write for publication. "Buffalo-Talk" will be informal-editorial in nature, thekind of thing theAlumni Office staff would say to you were they to talk to
you in the Office or at alumni meetings.

FINGER LAKES
ALUMNI MEET
Alumni in the Finger Lakes had
their own "summer school" in August
—at least, that's the way the cards
read which announced the dinner
meeting held at the Geneva Country
Club on August 26th.
Apparently the idea appealed to the
graduates of that lovely region because some forty of them gathered to
enjoy dinner and listen to brief and
informal talks by Nicholas Kish,
Edß'42, MBA'4B, assistant dean of
Millard Fillmore College, and Alumni
Director T. W. Van Arsdale, Jr.,
BA'3B, MA'4O.
President Philip Serling, LLB'27,
presided and General Alumni Board
representative Homer J. Knickerbocker, PhG'93, MD'9B, was chairman. The committee included the club
ofßcers: Emil J. Bove, MD'34; J. Sidney Rose, DDS'37 and Glen C. Hatch,
MD'2B.

CHANCELLOR MEETS WITH SAN FRANCISCO ALUMNI

"Universities have been initiated by public-spirited

men

and

women to

give

the youth of their day and of the future generations the finest training possible
for the advancement of the individual and of society in general.
"Once a university has been established, it is inevitable that others—particu-

larly those alumni and citizens who have and will benefit—must take responsibility
for

its upkeep, development, and perpetuation.

"My sincere hope is that my grandchildren may realize that the immense benefit

they get from the

or even a

support,

great universities

they attend now is not the work of one man

group of men, but the steady and untiring collaboration, guardianship,

loyalty, and love of generations before them and their duty is not to for-

get nor to

neglect.

.

"Justice and honor and gratitude demand that they do for others what others
did for them."

ABOUT THE COVER

This cover picture came about in an odd way. Bill Tranchell,
our student photographer, has one boy of his own—incidentally,
he's also a Navy veteran and a full-time patrolman in the Buffalo
Police Department. At any rate, Bill was on assignment to take
some pictures of the pre-school training group in University's
School of Education for an articlewhich will appear in next month's

Alumni Bulletin.

The youngsters were all outside playing around the pine trees
near the Engineering Building when he arrived. It was a "natural"
—when he and the rest of us saw those tots playing near those trees,
we could think of only one thing: CHRISTMAS. We hope you
will, too.
We don't know whether the small saw the little girl has in her
hand means she has picked out her tree for the holidays. BUT, it is
a dandy tree, isn't it?

We

hope your Christmas will be a joyous one, and that this
the happiest and best you've ever known!

next year will be

University's Alcoholic Rehabilitation Center
by D. Bruce Falkey, '40, '41
Director, Alcoholic
Rehabilitation Center
Yes, your University has one of the
two dozen centers in the country
which provide care and treatment for
problem drinkers. The Center also is
committed to furthering scientific
knowledge about a major public
health problem
alcoholism.

—

Since December 1948 the University
of Buffalo has been receiving grants
both from the New York State Department of Health and the Mental
Health Commission of New York
State, to support this work under the
auspices of the University's School of
Medicine.
Our C elite r
came into being
because of a
demonstrate d
need to take a
second look at
this age-oldproblem. It is an outgrowth of a coordinated community approach
to this problem
Tulkiy, '40, '41
dating"back many
years. The first significant date is
1939. when the Council of Social
Agencies of Buffalo and Erie County
studied the problem locally and nationally in order to provide the
Board of Supervisors and the community with accurate information,
on which community plans could
be formulated for the care and treatment of alcoholics. In 1947 the Erie
County Medical Society set up a committee on chronic alcoholism. This
committee continues to do yeoman
work in providing leadership and
medical guidance on this problem.
The Western N. Y. Committee for
Education on Alcoholism was incorporated March 1948. One of its major
objectives, the establishment of a
treatment center, was brought about
in December of that same year. In
1950 our Center was incorporated into
the Chronic Research Institute, where
it now functions as one of three major
departments.
Before we go any further and you
toss the magazine away, thinking that
alcoholism or problem-drinking does
not concern you, you should know
that in our experience we have had

ChronicDisease Research Institute, Center'sHeadquarters
people come to our clinic from all of
the census tracts of the City of Buffalo but two. The individuals range
from executives to unskilled workers;
from Ph.D.'s to those with little or no
formal education.

It is also noteworthy that approximately one per cent of the 4,000,000
estimated alcoholics in the United
States are found on the Niagara
Frontier. Their illness represents a tremendous wage loss to individuals, production loss to industry, and hospital
costs to the individual or to the community. No one has yet dared to
estimate the cost in human suffering,
heartaches, family quarrels, frightened and disturbed children, and the
general lowered effectivenessof people
as parents who live together under
emotional tensions and insecurity.
So you see, we cannot think of this
important public health problem as
just relating" to the Lower Main
Streets or Skid Rows in our towns
and cities. We have felt for some time

that those who use alcoholic beverages to the extent that it interferes
with their daily lives were not confined to any one particular group of
our citizens. More nearly the truth
would be the statement that the way
the problem appears on Lower Main
Street differs from the way in which
it appears in the homes in other
sections of our cities. You rarely find
alcoholic women on Skid Row, but
some physicians in private practice
believe that there are nearly as many

women alcoholics as there are men.
At the clinic our ratio is about one
female to six males.
The problems which these two
groups present are different too. On
Lower Main Street there is the problem of dealing with a known group
of socially and physically sick individuals who, for one reason or
another, have lost all family ties.
Their job skills are rusty, even lost;
and their ability to work effectively
has been reduced by illness and inadequate diet. Here, too, large groups
of men live and associate together,
with generally only two well-defined
one, to exist; and two,
objectives
to forget.

—

When alcoholism appears in families outside the Skid Row area, we
generally find that physically the individuals are less damaged than on
Skid Row, but that the tensions under
which they live are more real and
apparent than we find in the individuals coming from Skid Row. The
stakes, too, are higher for the individual family man. He is fearful that
if he doesn't modify his drinking behavior he may end up on Skid Row, or
lose his job,or his wife will leave him,
or his children will turn against him.
Fear of these consequences tend to
increase his tensions and befuddle his
attempts to handle his problems himself.
It is a challenge to reach out and to
help this group of troubled individuals

who are not seen by society generally.
but who remain protected by their
family and friends and society generally under the guise of outworn
ideas about alcoholism.
It is sinful. (Is tuberculosis sinful?) It is a disgrace. (Is cancer a
disgrace?) The alcoholic is a weakwilled individual. (Is it a sign of
weakness to have

problems? Who of

us are not troubled nowadays?)
On our staff we have psychiatrists.
specialists in internal medicine, a
clinical psychologist, and psychiatric
social workers. The different training of these professional people and
their varied experiences enable us to
see the patient from these four different points of view. We and other
clinics have found this approach extremely helpful.

You see. with measles or mumps
you have a specific cause on which
illyou can focus treatment. In the
ness of alcoholism not only do you
have the absence of a specific cause,
but rather, you have the total individual his physical self, his social
as
self, and his psychological self
your focus of treatment. The infinite
variety of factors which compose the
sum total of his past and present
the relationships of
relationships
himself to his family, to his job, to
others about him, to himself, and to
his God—affect the way in which he
reacts to his present environment and
determine the degree to which he can
handle his present reality situations.

—

—

—

We know that it is important and
helpful for people in times of stress
or when faced with problems, to talk
these over with someone outside
their own immediate group. Our clinic
welcomes the opportunity to be of
service to those people who feel that
they have the problem of alcoholism
themselves or that it exists within
the family. We, as other clinics who
provide medical care, do have a fee
schedule based upon the individual's
ability to pay for this service.
We have come a long way in this
country in the last ten years of breaking down the barriers of prejudice and
lack of knowledge about alcoholism.
We know that we still have a long
way to go. The University of Buffalo
Information and Rehabilitation Center
for Alcoholism is an indication of
this community's determination to
face the problem realistically.

New Music Department Serves Campus and Community
by Cameron Baird
Professor and Head of the
Department of Music
Although the new Music Department is barely two months old, it is
already striving in many different
ways to fulfill its announced goal of
serving both campus and community.

In its first year it is offering three
evening music courses in Millard Fillmore College; five general music
courses in the daytime; and both day
and night private and ensemble study
in voice, piano, organ, 12 orchestral
instruments, and string and woodwind chamber music. It is continuing
the chorus, orchestra, and band, the
latter divided into a concert band and
the R.O.T.C. marching band.

As a department in the College of
and Sciences, it draws students
both from other colleges of our University, and also from other universities in the city, and from those of
the general public who are unaffiliated
with any university. It is also presenting and sponsoring many community projects in the field of music.
Arts

One which will receive nationwide
publicity is the appearance of the
celebrated organist, E. Power Biggs,
on the campus early in December,
where from the new Medical building
auditorium he will give his weekly
Sunday morning recital over the
Columbia Broadcasting System and
WGR, followed two days later by a
regular concert. In both concerts he
will be assisted by several members
of our music faculty, in works for
two organs and for string quartet.
Full details of these concerts will be
found elsewhere in this issue.

Another local radio station has
offered to put on a weekly musical
program each Sunday for three
months, to be presented by the Music
faculty and students. Arrangements
are now being made, with the idea of
commencing this series in January
and telling the people of Western New
York more about the new Music
Department.

Two vocal concerts are scheduled
for December. The University Chorale, conducted by Herbert Beattie,
which rehearses Thursday afternoons,
is preparing a Christmas program
with Johann Christoph Bach's Oratorio "The Childhood of Christ" as
the featured work. The new Schlicker
classic-styled organ will be used to
accompany this work and there will
be the traditional singing of Christmas carols by the Chorale and audience in Norton Union on Wednesday,
December 16. The University Madrigal Singers are presenting a Buxtehude Cantata for the 20th Century
Club in December. A Men's Glee Club
is being organized for the second
semester.

Monthly Appearances
One of the outstanding offerings
of the Music Department is the
monthly appearances of two internationally known musicians, Winifred
Cecil, soprano, and Alexander Schneider, violinist and chamber music
artist. The former conducts a master
class in vocal interpretation, called
"The Joy in Singing", one Wednesday
each month from 5:30 until 7:00 P.M.
This is very similar to her successful
Town Hall forum in New York.
Nearly 100 vocal students, teachers,
other musicians, and concert-goers
have been attending these monthly
sessions. Miss Cecil, one of the outstanding sopranos of our age, has

performed with Toscanini, the major
Symphony Orchestras of the United
States and Europe, and concertized
extensively. We are fortunate and
proud to offer the opportunity of class
and private coaching with this outstanding artist.

Alexander Schneider, who is well
known as a leading chamber music
musician in this country, is also holding a class each month. Various trio,
quartet, and quintet groups prepare
a work and then perform it for his
critical analysis. He also teaches and
coaches here privately. He was the
man who persuaded the great Casals
to come out of retirement with the
annual Casals Festival in southern
France, and last summer he created
a sensation in New York city with
his free chamber music concerts in
Washington Square Park, supported
by the city parks commission and the

musicians' union.
The Music Department plans faculty recitals the second semester, for
students, faculty and alumni. The
departmenthas accepted invitations to
send members of its faculty and students to several local high schools and
also to hospitals for special concerts.
All these activities are in line with
its policy of serving the general community as well as the campus.
The full-time staff consists of Prof.
Cameron Baird, Ass't. Prof. Herbert
Beattie, and Ass't. Prof. Robert Mols.
Mr. Baird teaches the Music History

University's New Music Department (Cont'd)
and Literature courses, and the class
in Score Reading and Conducting. Privateinstruction in vocal technique and
interpretation, given by Mr. Beattie.
are available both to students specializing in the music major and to students of the University generallyplus
special students, provided they possess
sufficient talent and basic musicianship.

In Millard Fillmore college, a special evening course in the History of
Choral Literature is offered, aiming
at the daytime working professional
and amateur musician who would
like to sing, analyze and discuss great
choral music from the Renaissance to
the present day. This course is available to graduate students who are
working for the Master's degree.
The first year study of Theory and
Harmony which is the basic course of
every music department is taught by
Mr. Mois. a graduate of Eastman
School in Rochester. He is training
his students to hear. play, and write
the fundamentals of harmony, melody and rhythm, and emphasizes eartraining. He also has an evening class
in Millard Fillmore College, available
for either graduate or undergraduate
credit. Next fall a second year theory
course will also be offered.
Orchestra and Band

The University Orchestra under
Robert Mols, and the Concert Band
under John Krestic are open to all
University students and alumni, either
on a credit or non-credit basis. A
spring concert is being planned, and
both organizations will still gladly
accept more applicants. The orchestra
rehearses Mondays and Wednesdays
from 4:30 until 6:00 P.M.. and the
band on Tuesdays and Thursdays at
these same hours.
A woodwind ensemble class has
been organized by the department to
provide to all interested students on
a credit or non-credit basis, a training
in the fine elements of woodwind
chamber music. A woodwind quintet
consisting of a flute, oboe, clarinet,
bassoon, and French horn is planning
several programs this school year in
and around the campus. If interested,
please contact Mr. Mols at the Music
Building, and when each complement
is full, rehearsal time and coaching
will be arranged.
Several similar groups of classes in
string and piano chamber music have

been organized by Aaron Juvelier, a
member of the Buffalo Philharmonic
Orchestra, and applicants are still
being accepted. These groups are all
open to adults as well as students.
Squire Haskin is teaching the organ
and Allen Giles the piano. All orchestra instruments are taught principally
by leading members of the Buffalo
Philharmonic Orchestra.
New Music Building
The new Music Building is located
at 260 Winspear Aye., bordering on
the campus, not far from the Maintenance Building and the Gymnasium.
On the main floor, in addition to the
office, is a class room. Available for
small recitals, it has a Steinway
grand piano and will have a small
Schlicker practice organ. On the same
floor is the music library, which will
contain a fine set of music and recordings. On the second floor are three
large rooms for private teaching and
practising, each equipped with piano
and

phonograph.

the basement are five practice
rooms and a library for phonograph
listening. The Music Building is open
week days from 9:00 A.M. to 10:00
P.M.. and Saturdays from 9:00 A.M.
to 1:00 P.M. There is always an
attendant in charge, and reservations
for practice rooms can be made by
In

telephone.
No finer gift could be made to a
new Department than that which was
recently made possible by Mrs. Dorothy Simon, when she established the
D. Bernard Simon Scholarship Fund.
It will provide funds to music students who cannot afford any or
part of the costs of instruction. Many
friends of the Simon family and others
interested in the University have contributed to this fund. Two students
are already receiving help, and it will
be the means of helping many more
music studnts, who could not otherwise study here.

Certainly no Department could ask
for a finer start than this, and with
a hard-working faculty and the fine
support of our friends and alumni,
we will strive to make the University
proud of its youngest child.

ORGANIST BROADCASTS

The first nationwide broadcast to be
made from the new Medical Building

NEW RESIDENCE HALLS DEDICATED ON PARENTS' DAY
The University's three new residence halls were dedicated very appropriately on "Parents' Day" at the
campus on November 14th.
Chancellor T. Raymond McConnell
presided at the ceremonies and described the halls as another step in the
continual development of the University.
Dr. McConnell especially credited
Miss Lillias M. Macdonald, former
dean of women and now assistant
director of alumni relations, and Mr.
Lewis G. Harriman, chairman of the
University Council's finance committee, as leaders among those who
recognized and constantly worked for

the student residences.
"The residences will become a nucleus of student activities," the Chancellor stated. "Students will gain invaluable experience in human values
and relations by living in them, and
they will learn the art of gracious
the erection of

living."
The Chancellor added that already
in the planningstage are three more

residence halls, two of them to be
combined into a single unit.
Mr. Seymour H. Knox, chairman of
the University Council, paid tribute
to the persons in whose honor the
halls are named. Dean Macdonald
for whom Macdonald Hall is named,
participated in the ceremonies. Carlton P. Cooke, son of Walter P. Cooke
for whom Cooke Hall is named, and
J. Fred Schoellkopf IV, grandson of
Jacob F. Schoellkopf for whom
Schoellkopf Hall is named, also participated.

More than two thousand parents of
students visited campus and participated with their sons and daughters

FROM 1954 ENGAGEMENT CALENDAR

Fund Class Agents
Meet at Reception
Nearly two hundred class agents
the Alumni Loyalty Fund gathered
enthusiastically October Bth at their
reception to inspire each other and
"kick off" the 1953 drive for annual
alumni gifts to the University.
of

This year the University of Buffalo is publishing for the first time a
pictorial engagement calendar. It is of convenient desk size, and presents 31
full-page photographs of the campus and student activities. The calendars will
be sold by the University of Buffalo Women's Club and student and alumni
organizations. The intention is to provide a handsome engagement calendar
which will show a variety of University scenes, pay for itself, and give various
voluntary organizations working for the University an opportunity to add to
their funds. It is hoped that amateur photographers will submit photographs to
the calendar, so that eventually it will become an annual pictorial album of life
at the University of Buffalo. The Alumnae Association is selling the calendars.
The cost is only $1.00 and a call to the Alumni Office, UN 9300, or a call to
Mrs. Barresi at WI 0491 will assure your getting a copy in the next mail.

Railroad Officials Confer
Top officials of 12 local railroads

are scheduling conferences on the
University of Buffalo campus. They
are members of the Niagara Frontier
Railroad's Committee on Community
Relations. The purpose of the conferences is to broaden eastern railroads' community relations.

French Professor Here
Dr. Raymond
Polin, a philosophy
professor at the University of Lille,
is at the University of Buffalo this

year. He is the visiting professor of
French, here with the help of the Mrs.
Joseph T. Jones Foundation.

Chairman Harry G. LaForge, MD
'34, reminded the agents of their effective participation in the University's
Development Campaign, during which
alumni pledged nearly one and a half
million dollars. Since the Alumni
Loyalty Fund was suspended for the
year that the Campaign was in operation, he emphasized that ClassAgents
should cite the splendid record of the
alumni for the Campaign and urge
them to continue their fine givingrecord through the Alumni Loyalty
Fund this year.
Dr. G. Lester Anderson, University's
Dean of Administration, praised the
alumni for their work in the past and
especially in the Development Campaign. Dr. Anderson went on to point
out twenty-two outstanding' educational achievements of the University
during- the last year and suggested to
the Class Agents that they emphasize
them in their letters to their classmates.
Among the achievements he highlighted were the establishments of a
department of music, training of
museum administrators and personnel,
new courses in fine arts on the
campus, the new summer workshop in
higher education during the summer,
and the Air Force R. O. T. C. on
campus. Dr. Anderson also pointed to
several other expansions and developments in the educational programs of
various divisions of the University as
reason indeed for stimulatingfinancial
support from alumni.
Dr. Claude E. Puffer, Treasurer of
the University, delighted the Class
Agents with his reminisences and his
accountings of what the money
brought in by the agents from alumni
had meant in terms of the welfare of
the students.
Director of Alumni Relations T. W.
Van Arsdale, Jr., BA'3B, MA'4O, also
spoke briefly, outlining the instructions for the mailing of the letters to
the alumni.

Congratulations Gals:
You certainly started the ball rolling at the first meeting of the

Dental Alumni
Association on
October 6th and
7th at Hotel Statler. More than
1.000 alumni and
their fellow practitioners attended
the sessions to
set an attendance

Alumnae Association this fall.
Now, how about making a "strike"?
Let's spread the word that we're on our way to collect some more
new recruits, and really become an active organization of our own
making!

Have you seen the beautiful main lounge in Macdonald Hall yet ?
Well, our Association has a "Lounge Fund" to provide the furnishings
there, and many of our functions benefit that Fund.
Our immediate project in relation to this involves selling the
lovely new University Engagement Calendar for 1954, the cover for
which you see reproduced just across the page from this letter.
for yourself, for your husband's desk,
They're really terrific
and for Christmas gifts
even for bridge prizes! They're a 6 x 8
reminder of your co-ed days, chock-full of familiar campus pictures.
And the cost is only one dollar.
So, as a starter
and with the "dorm" we've always dreamed of
in our minds
let's get behind this effort to sell
and buy
as
many as we can. Just contact Lenore O'Loughlin Barresi, Bex'4B, by
calling WI 0491 or dropping her a card at 728 Taunton PL, Buffalo,
N. Y.
Lenore also needs help with her "telephone squad". It's an athome job which is vital; we need alumnae to make five to ten phone
calls each to sell these calendars to our fellow-graduates.
About our program for the rest of the year: because of your keen
interest, we plan to hold regular meetings throughout the year. Our
next big meeting; will be Wednesday evening, December 9th, at 7:45
P.M. in Norton Hall on the campus.

Future Plans For University
In "Possible Projects" File
At the University of Buffalo there is a file labeled "Possible Projects".
From it have come ideas which have had many interesting results. The three
new student dormitories, the new building for the medical and dental schools,
and the new addition to Norton Hall resided for a long while in the "Possible
Projects" file before they became visible on the campus.
The "Possible Projects" file is still bulging. In it are plans, hopes and
dreams of many kinds. Some are obviously necessary for the immediate
future, and await only the needed resources. Others seem visionary, but may
grow feasible as time goes on—after all, a blueprint of the University of Buffalo
as it is now would have seemed visionary as little as ten years ago. A private
university is bounded only by the resources and will of those who are part of
it—the students, faculty members, alumni, businesses,industries and individual
benefactors who support it.
Fully developed plans for a new Science Building designed to provide much
needed space for additional classrooms and research laboratories are in the
"Possible Projects" file. Blueprints for three new student dormitories are
there along with a Fine Arts building.
Plans for the development of many aspects of the University's program fill
a large part of the folder.
It's hard to tell what will come out of the "Possible Projects" file in the
immediate future, but one can be sure that it won't be forgotten. In the past
ten years, it hasn't gathered much dust.

Conference Concerns
Carbon Research

Once Worked as
Slave for Nazis

The third in a series of conferences
designed to acquaint local industries
with research projects and facilities
of the University was held Nov. 12

A Ukranian youth who was a German captive during War n fulfilled
a dream this fall when he enrolled in
the University's School of Business
Administration.
He is Alexander Hromockyj, a
nephew of Mrs. Rosie Tkach of Lackawanna. Mr. Hromockyj has experienced the extremes of militaryservice
—forced farm labor for the Germans
in War II and intelligence work with
the U. S. Army in Korea recently.
With his father, he was taken from
his home in Sambir by the German
Army of Occupation as a hostage and
slave laborer when the Army withdrew from Ukraine in 1944.
After the war he finished high
school in Germany and then with his
father came to this country in 1949.
thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Tkach.
Drafted, he served for 16 months in
Korea as a member of a military intelligence unit.
Two things are uppermost in his
mind now. He wants to complete his
college education and some day open
a business of his own. Secondly, he is
concerned about his mother, three
sisters and two brothers, whom he
hasn't heard from since he was taken
from his home.

Norton Hall on the campus.
The subject of the conference was
"The Physics of Carbons." The University in 1949 established the only
university physics laboratory in the
country devoted to carbon research.
Representatives of companies in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and
Illinois, as well as Western New York,
attended the sessions.
in

Dr. Lyle W. Phillips, chairman of
the department of physics, presided
at both the morning and afternoon
sessions. Chancellor T. Raymond McConnell welcomed guests at 10 o'clock.
"Electronic Properties of Carbons and
Graphite" was discussed by Harry T.
Pinnick, physics research assistant.
and "Mechanical Strength and Structure of Carbons" by Dr. Stanislaw
Mrozowski, professor of physics.
At the afternoon session, Dr. John
G. Castle, Jr., discussed "Heat Conduction in Carbon Materials." Dr.
Castle is research associate in physics.
Dr. Phillips outlined the work of the
Research Laboratories, preceding a
tour of inspection.

Past Presidents of
Norton Have Reunion
Past presidents of the Student
Board of Managers, the student
governing body of the University,
gathered for a reunion luncheon on
Parents' Day, November 14th, in the
private dining rooms in the new
$400,000 addition to Norton Hall.
William H. Weber, present president, was master of ceremonies at
the luncheon which commemorated the
20th anniversary of Norton Hall, the
student union building built in 1934.
Miss Dorothy M. Haas, BS(Bus)'32,
director of Norton Hall, introduced
the past presidents and Robert Parke,
first and only other director of Norton.
Among the former presidents attending was first president Robert J.
Winegar, BS(Bus)'34, and Nancy Lou
Knowlton Binder, BA'36; Carmen Tillinghast Herlan, BA'44; Edward A.
Dunlap, Jr., BA'47; Pat Morganstern

They Are Young
But They're Willing
Two 10-year-old boys walked
into the University's Placement
Bureau one afternoon to apply
for jobs as space men. They
said they'd read about the job
in The Buffalo Evening News
the day before.
Bureau Director Robert F.
Rupp, BA'4B, told the boys that
The News story had referred to
a request, long since filled, for a
University student to pose as a
space man at a children's carnival. "The space man had to
be at least 20 years old," Mr.
Rupp explained, "but if you boys
come back in ten years we'll see
what we can do."
The News story described the
work of the placement bureau
and some of the requests it has
received for students to fill unusual

jobs.

Faculty

You'll Remember:

MARY CUMPSON
Assistant

Professor of Business English,
Special Adviser to Students

of Business

Administration,

There's an adage, well known to
alumni of the School of Business Administration, to the effect that a visit
to the office of Miss Cumpson is an
A-l remedy for registration blues,
mid-term melancholy, or any of the
myriad aches and pains of undergraduate ills.
Graduates of all divisions of the
University will be happy to learn that

such is still the case.
Interviewing some individuals is
admittedly a tough assignment, to
say the least. Not so with Mary
Cumpson, for she still exhibits that
infectious charm that so easily disguises her welcome counsel. Small

seek her out
areas of advisement.
wonder students

in

all

Indeed, this native Illinoisan is a
"fellow student". Her innate enthusiasm, vigor, and interest in student
activity, not to mention campus
growth, make her a "natural" for the
positions she holds.
Arriving in Buffalo at a very early
age when her father entered business
ventures in this area, Mary Cumpson
attended the public schools and then
the Franklin School now known as
the Elmwood-Franklin School.
Strangely enough, her career in
academics has been from temporary
to permanent in each case. While
visiting a ranch in Wyoming, shortly
after receiving her AB in Economics

and Greek from Vassar, she received
notice that a replacement teacher was
needed for English subjects at the
Franklin School. Accepting the assignment on a three-months basis,
Miss Cumpson taught at the institution for five years. Sooner or later
her vivaciousness had to lead her to
the world of big business and thus it
was that she entered the firm of
O'Brian Potter &amp; Company for a
twelve-year stint as bond saleswoman.
Again, moving on, as did her pioneer grandparents who early settled
Illinois in spite of Indians and hardships of all types, Miss Cumpson accepted her second academic appointment. This one, also for three months,
still continues, having lasted twentyone years at the University of Buf-

falo.

For fifteen years she was Secretary of the School of Business Administration and she has taught Business
English since 1947.
Hundreds of World War IIstudents,
alumni, and their families will forever remember and thank Mary
Cumpson for her devotion and interest in providing the mimeographed
letters that went out four times a
year during that conflict, in order
that servicemen and their University
friends could keep in touch with one
another. So complete was her "intelligence" procedure that friends now
chuckle to recall her item dealing

with the advanced training assignment of one of "her boys". Complete, even to location, the article
dealt with one of the army's most
hush-hush European invasion training bases. Those personally acquainted with Mary Cumpson will enjoy picturing her conscientious embarrassment over the situation.
Miss Cumpson currently teaches
three daytime sections and one evening class. This, we all realize, is
minor time expended when compared
to the hours she devotes to troubled
students, especially the freshman
class.
One has to spend only a moment in
her company to realize that Mary
Cumpson embodies all the spirit of
student freedom and academic tradition which has made our institution
great.

She enjoys observing the differences in age groupings of various
classes and the type of work developed by each, more as a challenge
to her duties than as idle observation.

..

Certainly classes change, likes and
yet Mary Cumpson
dislikes vary
remains the one top authority students may refer to when it comes to
seeking advice on their adaptability
for business education as well as determining their ultimate goals in academic endeavors.

When They Win, They Really Win!

CAGERS BOOKED FOR
23-GAME SCHEDULE
University's Basketball-Bulls will
meet twenty-three teams during their
1953-54 season—and good ones, too!

Schedule prospects have been
enough to persuade Coach Mai Eiken
to institute the toughest drill season
in his six years as Blue and White

basketball coach.

As he saw it, his first duty was to
cut the number of squad candidates
from thirty to the desired twelve. This
meant cutting some upper classmen
who could have been used in previous
seasons, in favor of the sophomores
and juniors who show a wealth of potential. In previous years, Eiken has
carried a squad of fifteen, using the
spares only when a one-sided score
permitted.

Victorious Bulls' Locker Room Scene
"Operation Turnout", sponsored by
the University Air Force ROTC Unit,
provided one thousand cheering cadets
and officers with the thrill of a lifetime as Cadet Captain Elmer Jahn
ran up 123 yards in 15 rushes, scored
one touchdown and led the Bulls to
their only victory of the season. It
was Jahn's last game for the Blue
and White.

The team, responding to the cadet
corps' support, totaled 305 yards on
the ground and 55 in the air as they
downed a highly-favored Ohio Northern University squad 20 to 0. This
ended the season with one win, five

one tie and one cancellation
due to snow conditions.
Also playing their final game for
Buffalo were seniors Ray Chamberlin,
guard and season-captain; Bill Frilosses,

day, tackle; Charles O'Brien, end;
Laßocque, center; Elmer Jahn,
fullback; Ernie Kiefer, tackle; and
center Ed Hoeflich. In keeping with
previous years' custom, Coach Fritz
Febel named each of these seniors as
game captains during the season.
"The cadet corps of the University
shares the glory of this victory with
Ron

the team and words cannot express
our appreciation adequately" was the
way Fritz Febel described the win.
Incidentally, no less than seven squad
members also are cadets.

Varsity
Out for "Blood"
Fencers 1

Determined to keep the North Atlantic Intercollegiate Fencing Conference Trophy, the varsity fencers,
under the guidance of Coach Sid
Schwartz, BS(Bus&gt;'4o, are off to a
roaring start with daily workouts
which show considerable improvement
in squad strength.

The Bulls have won the trophy two
years in a row and hope to repeat this
season. They will also participate in
the NCAA Fencing Championships at
the University of Chicago, following
the close of the campaign.
Listed among their opponents are
Notre Dame. Ohio State, Michigan
State, Canisius, St. Lawrence, Oberlin,
and other traditionallytough rivals.

Designed for this type of play and
coaching, the present crew is "green,"
to say the least. They number seven
sophomores, three juniors, and two
seniors. The tallest man is sophomore Len Saltman at 6' 4". The
shortest is 5' 11", a category shared
bysophomores Ernie Benoit and Dave
Levitt, and senior Bob Scamurra,
the latter remembered for his speed
and rugged play last sason.

Stand-out and scoring star will no
doubt continue to be "Jumpin' Jim"
Home, a junior, who has amassed 810
points in two seasons and is expected
to break the career record of Hal
Kuhn, '52, who ran up 1065 points in
three years of varsity play.
Yes, it's a green but "eager" club
which should get off to a slow start,
smooth out, and really put on the
speed at the three-quarter mark.

27th Annual Homecoming In Review

Pictured here are some of the principals taking part in the activities at the University's 27th Annual Homecoming, held Saturday, October 17th.
Following a morning meeting of fifteen representatives of the area alumni clubs and the Executive Committee
of the General Alumni Board, Chancellor T. R. McConnell entertained the alumni officers at luncheon in Norton

At the football game that evening with Western Reserve University (with the football-Bulls unfortunately
dropping a 27-0 decision) Pete Rao pictured at center-top nevertheless thrilled returning alumni with an off-tackle
smash for 25 yards. Just below, Homecoming QueenJudy Harris poses with her court at half-time ceremonies.

ABOUT YOUR MAGAZINE
Perhaps you'll be interested in what goes on behind the scenes in the creation and production of your magazine. And we say your magazine because it
is planned and written for you, the alumni of the University, in the hope that
it will help keep you informed about the University and the affairs of your
fellow-alumni.

"Go-To-Press" day is a hectic one for the office staff. The material which
has accumulated over a month is checked and re-checked for accuracy in names,
dates, and degrees; photos and cuts are hunted; special feature articles are
edited for style and space allocation; and current news is written up.
Then the mass of typewritten material ("copy") is sent to the printer.
He sends "galley proofs" back to us a few days later. These are proofs of the
type set from our "copy", and they are checked for typographical errors and rechecked for accuracy in names, dates,and degrees.
One set of "galley proofs" is then cut up and pasted on a "dummy" to indicate to the printer the placement of type and articles. Headlines are written,
pasted in place, and the size and style of type to be used is noted. In the meantime, the cover photo has been taken and a photo-engravingmade to exact size.
All of this is returned to the printer.

,

A few days later "page proof" comes to us—proofs of what the pages look
like after our placement of articles and features and pictures. The staff does
a final check for accuracy and may move several of the items for better lay-out.
The actual printing follows, then the binding, and then we receive the 22,000
copies. Addressing takes about three days and the 22,000 are then sorted
according to city and state for mailing.
The whole process takes about one month and, in our view, is well worth it.
Naturally, we'd like to know what you think. And don't omit constructive suggestions either.

Gallaudet College
Washington 2, D. C.
change my

address to this

You may be interested to know that Gallaudet College is the only college for the deaf
in the world. All instruction Is carried on in
the language of signs. After my graduation
from the U. B. in June. 1951, I obtained a
fellowship here and taught Preparatory (12th
grade) science while studying for my MA in
the field of education of the deaf. Upon completion of these studies in May. 1953. I obtained a position here as instructor of science
and chemistry.
I am rather proud to have graduated from
the U. 8., since there have been only a handful of totally deaf students who have done so
before me. I would like to thank those students who acted as notetakers for me and also
those professors who gave me a little more
time than was allotted to each student.

ABOUT THE COVER

Evening on the campus is, for most daytime students and
faculty members, a time for leisurely strolls and contemplation,
an old fashioned "kaffeeklatsch" in the dormitories, or just plain
recreation and rest.
This evening view of Edmund Hayes Hall represents only a
portion of the lights which pierce the twilight shadows of the
North Main Campus. Inside the stately halls some 3700 students
pursue approximately 300 courses in Millard Fillmore College,
evening division of the University. Established in 1923, the College is in session five nights a week and all day Saturday.

Albright Art School
JoinsThe University
The Albright Art School, together
with its physical assets including its.
building on Elmwood Avenue, will be
incorporated with the University. The
change in management will be effected
by a proposal authorized by the General Administration committee of the
University which, upon the recommendation of the Art School committee, was accepted by the Board
of Directors of the Buffalo Fine Arts
Academy, of which the Art School is
a part, at a meeting on December 18.
Both the University and the Fine
Arts Academy have authorized their
officers to prepare a contract for the
transfer of the property. The new
arrangement will become effective
July 1.
The Albright Art School willretain
its name, but it will function as a
division of the University's College of
Arts and Sciences. Samuel D. Magavern, LLB'29, chairman of the Art
School committee, in commenting on
the change said, "The basic purpose
of this transfer is to enable the Art
School, with its constantly expanding
program, to serve the community
better. The history of art schools
shows that art education is more
effective when it is related to a general education program which only a
university can offer."
Professor John I. Sewall, chairman
of the Art Department of the University, has long urged this development
and will continue to be in charge of
the work in Art History, it was announced by the University. The University also announced that Mr. Philip
C. Elliott, now Director of the Art
School, will continue to head the Art
School under the new arrangement.
The University will make it possible for all students now enrolled in
the Art School to finish programs in
which they have already registered.
Classes will continue in the Elmwood
Avenue building. Evening and Saturday classes now given in the Albright
Art School will be continued in association with Millard Fillmore College,
and art classes for children will still
be offered under the new arrangement.
Mr. Seymour H. Knox, president of
the Board of Directors of the Buffalo
Fine Arts Academy, and chairman of
the University Council, in commenting on the change said, "I have been
interested in both the Art School and
the University for many years, and

Highlights of Chancellor's Annual
Report of Academic Year 1952-1953
Last month Chancellor T. R. McConnell submitted his report
for the academic year 1952-53 to the University Council. Submitted
with it were the Treasurer's Report and the report of Mr. Karr
Parker, chairman of the Committee on Buildings and Grounds.
From these reports three basic facts became clear: (1) The University of Buffalo must continue to grow; (2) The University has a
great underlying need for more endowment funds; and (3) The
University has made extraordinary progress in the past three years.
it makes me very happy to see their
forces joined in such a constructive
way, and to see art education continued in such capable hands."
The Art School has 360 students
now enrolled. In addition, 190 persons
are attending night classes there, and
162 more are enrolled in Saturday
classes. The Albright Art School,
formerly known as the School of Fine
Arts, was formed in 1894 with the
incorporation of the Art Students
League of Buffalo. The original part
of the building on Elmwood Avenue
now occupied by the Art School was
presented to the Buffalo Fine Arts
Academy in 1928 by Col. Charles
Clifton. The building was expanded
in 1936 and in 1945 to accommodate
the expanding program of art education. The Art School formed an association with the University of Buffalo
in 1935 by which degree courses in
art were instituted. The Art School
is nationally known, and is a charter
member of the National Association
of Schools of

Design.

CHANCELLOR ANNOUNCES
RESIGNATION
Chancellor T. Raymond McConnell has announced resignation of his administrative
duties at tlie University of Buffalo to devote himselfto teaching, writing and research at the
University of California, beginning: next Fall.
The resignation announcement came on February Ist, just
as the Alumni Bulletin was
going to press.

Mr. Seymour H. Knox, Chairman of the University Council,
said a committee of council and
faculty members will be appointed to choose a new chancellor.

On the inside of this bulletin is reHinted a long-range building plan
or the University which accompanied
Mr. Parker's report. This plan, which
fives a picture of how the campus
may eventually look, is the natural
utgrowth of many facts presented in
K&gt;th the Chancellor'sand Mr.Parker's
eports.

The Reasons for Growth
"Arecent study of population trends
has indicated that higher education as
a whole must be prepared for a great
increase in enrollment during the next
ifteen years," Chancellor McConnell
tates in his report. "It has been esti-nated that the number of young
eople of college age in New York
State will increase about 65% by
970. It has been predicted that for
the country as a whole we may expect
an enrollment increase in higher eduation from the present total of about
,500,000 to 3,000,000 by 1960 or
earlier; to 4,000,000 by 1965; and to
,000,000 by 1970. It is important for
ne University of Buffalo to prepare
areful plans for serving its share of
tlis larger college population."
Flan Is for Near and Distant
Future
Chancellor McConnell and Mr.
Parker emphasized that the building
ilan is simply part of a continuing
program to enable the University to
trepare for both the near and distant
uture, rather than any new decision.
Actual construction of the buildings
will of course depend on when the reuired funds become available, and on
riorities set by the University Counll. A new building for the Physics
&gt;epartment and an additional men's
(continued

THE UNIVERSITY MUST GROW
dormitory are thought of as imme-

diate necessities to be constructed as
soon as possible. A Fine Arts Center,
an addition to Samuel P. Capen Hall
for Cardio-Vascular research, and a
new Townsend Hall to be located on
the campus are thought of as steps
which should be taken after more
immediate needs have been met. The
other buildings suggested on the plan
—additional residence halls, and various ways of increasing classroom and
laboratory space
will probably be

—

made necessary eventually by increased enrollments, but no attempt
has been made to set even approximate dates for construction.
The Cost of Construction
The cost of a Physics Building
which would include not only the requirements of the Physics Department, but also 17 classrooms and 14
offices for general purposes, would be
approximately $1,200,000. The cost of
each new student dormitory with 149

beds would be approximately $475,000.
At the present time it would not be
practical to attempt to estimate costs
for those buildings on the plan which
are being considered for the more distant future. Attention is now being
concentrated on the Physics Building.
In his report, the Chancellor states,
"Adequate quarters for the Physics
Department cannot be much longer
postponed, and with large enrollment
increases in prospect, more classroom
and office space must be secured."

INCREASED ENDOWMENT IS NECESSARY
In the academic year 1939-40, the
University of Buffalo had a total of
only 5285 students. Nine years later,
had more than doubled
—in 1948-49, it was 13,563. In 1952-53
the enrollment had dropped to 11,251.
This was a much smaller decrease in
enrollment than many urban and
state universities experienced after
the postwar peak, and as has been
pointed out, enrollments are expected
to increase steadily during the next
20 years.
These fluctuations in the number of
students at the university of Buffalo
of course have many causes, the printhe enrollment

cipal ones being changes in the birth
rate, war, government subsidized edu-

for veterans, and economic
conditions. The effect of these fluctuations in student enrollment on the
University are of course enormous.
Even with its present enrollment, the
University is seriously overcrowded.
Plans for larger enrollments must be
made before additional thousands of
students arrive, not after. The difficulty in financing advance preparations for increased enrollment and in
maintaining progress between peaks
of enrollments is exemplified by one
statistic in the Treasurer's report:
almost 90% of the University's uncation

restricted income for general and
educational purposes conies from student fees. "It is highly significant
that student fees provide so great a
proportion of the University income
for educational and general purposes,"
the Treasurer's report states. "Since
student fees fluctuate directly with
student enrollment, even moderate
changes in the enrollment picture
may drastically affect the operations
of the University. It emphasizes the
underlying need of the University for
additional gifts for endowment purposes to permit long-range planning
of educational programs."

GREAT PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE
In spite of the necessity for preparing for much larger enrollments, and
the need for more endowment, the
University of Buffalo has made astonishing progress in the past three
years, the 1952-53 reports show. Faculty salaries and retirement benefits
have been substantially improved. A
total of 29 new developments in education, research and service, some of
which are described on the back of
this bulletin, are listed in the Chancellor's report. The value of the land,
buildings and equipment as carried on
the University's balance sheet increased from $9,971,760 on June 30,
1951 to $15,717,188 on June 30, 1953.
These figures reflect the construction
of Samuel P. Capen Hall, the new
building for the medical and dental
schools, and three new dormitories,

Cooke, Schoellkopf and Macdonald
Halls. All four of these buildings were
completed in 1953. Inaddition, a new
wing was added to Norton Union in
the fall of 1953, but that occurred
during the 1953-54 academic year.
Figures from the 1952-53
Treasurer's Report

The gross earned income for 1952-53
was $4,724,150.09. Expenditures were
$4,750,590.64, resulting in a deficit of
$26,440.55 for the year.
Of the $4,724,150.09 listed as gross
income, $4,308,211.22 was educational
and general income—the remainder
was paid to auxiliary enterprises such
as the University bookstore, residence
halls and cafeteria. A total of $3,068,-604.89, or 87.66% of the unrestricted
general and educational income, came
from student fete.

The total endowment assets

of

the

University and funds temporarily
functioning as endowment assets are
listed in the treasurer's report as
$7,965,769.39. The income from endowment during the 1952-53 academic
year was $345,354.07, or only 9.87%
of the unrestricted general and edu-

cational income.
During 1952-53, the endowment
funds of the University were increased approximately $345,000.
By the fall of 1953, the development
campaign announced in July, 1952,
had brought in subscriptions amounting to $2,700,000. "This was still
$800,000 short of the modest goal of
$3,500,000 announced at the beginning
of the intensive campaign," the Chancellor points out. "It is essential to
attain this goal at the earliest possible moment"

Capen Hall Dedication Ceremonies Highlighted By
Distinguished Professional Program and Alumni Luncheon
Graduates, friends, and prominent
leaders of the medical and dentalprofessions attended the dedication of
Samuel P. Capen Hall, the University's new Medical Dental Building
on the campus, on December 11th and
12th.
The activities formally opened the
services of the building to the citizens
of Western New York, the nation,
and the world. Moreover, the ceremonies honored, as John M. Russell,
Executive Director of the Markle
Foundation, stated it, "The cornerstone of this building
not the one
made of stone but the real one the
Sam Capen".
one made by a man
"Above all", Dr. Russell concluded,
"I hope you will never forget that
Chancellor Capen has been the watchdog of your freedom. Accept and protect this heritage and may what you
do here be worthy of the name
Samuel P. Capen Hall."

Dr. Capen Speaks
Deeply moved, yet enjoying the day
of reunion and ceremonies perhaps
more than any other person present,
Dr. Capen replied, in part, "For me,
and I hope for you, these exercises
symbolize the union at their base of
the two great professions devoted to
the healing art; the reunion, in fact,
of Medicine and Dentistry, after a
century of unnatural separation.

"In this reunion

I

have believed

firmly, almost passionately, for a peri-

time that statisticians call a
generation. Toward the reunion the
University of Buffalo has been making, for a generation, such contributions as lay within its power. Others
than I, many of whom are no longer
here, have borne the real heat and
burden of the day in all that the University has tried to do to advance this
purpose. But I have survived. And
now I receive the lasting memorial,
which I cannot redistribute to those
who rightly should share it. To quote
Hamlet: 'There's the respect that
makes calamity of so long life.
"But I would not be misunderstood.
I do not imply that for me it is a
calamity. It is rather for me a source
of deep gratitude and pride that so
manyof my colleagues have approved
what is here being consummated."
od

of

Chancellor T. Raymond McConnell,
speaking of the newest campus structure, pointed out that, "If a magician
had waved a wand and produced a
large, handsome and useful building,

we would have called it a miracle. But
because men made it we tend to take
it for granted. Yet there was a miracle involved even though the construction took a little more time than
miracles are supposed to consume. So
let us not take this building for
granted. The fact that there was no
magic involved in its creation should
make us all the more grateful for it,
for instead of magic there were more
precious ingredients: the hard work of
many men, men of vision, generosity,
wisdom, and immense good will."
Citing Dr. Capen's leadership and
teachings, Chancellor McConnell continued, "This is Dr. Capen's day. Yet
I know that he has come here as much
to honor as to be honored. I am sure
he joins me today in expressing the
gratitude of the University toward all
who have helped to make this dedication possible".

A private university in our society.
A state university in our society.
It is recorded that when Gladstone
was shown the electromagnetic motor
of Faraday he inquired "What good
is it ?" and the inventor countered
"What good is a baby?"
A baby is created, it grows, develops, reaches adult life, fulfills itself
and becomes a personality within Ms
given time. There may be, however,
inherent in that baby the potentials of
genius—talents to change the whole
course of history and of nations.
In similar vein, I postulate, "What
good is a private university ?" A
university is created, grows, develops,
expands and is responsive to social
changes and its environment. It behaves like an organic body and undergoes a social evolution and assumes
a function of adaptation.
University Accepts Ideas
The university accepts ideas, engages in speculation and research. In
time it organizes them into the body
of knowable knowledge. However,
these functions of a university would
be of slight avail if they were to remain enclosed within the walls of the
university.

teachers, research workers and students. It is the great distributing
center for what it observes, develops
and records. Its accomplishments are
entirely pragmatic and become incorporated into the life of the people as
applied science and technology. However, in a larger sense, there are the
ethical or esthetic accomplishments
of a university, essentially the things
of the spirit and which are the collected heritage of the centuries.
Transmission to the world of the
developed knowledge made by the
university is no less essential than its
discovery. If the discovery of Insulin
by Banting at Guelph, Ontario, remained local it might just as well
have been as if it had never been discovered. If the astronomical investigations of Ptolemy had not been preserved and recorded it would be as if
the sun, earth and stars had never
been observed or their orbits calculated.
Universities Imperishable
We visualize a university as having
an imperishable life. History records
that with rare exceptions seats of
learning such as universities have
been preserved regardless of the time
in which they lived. Because I am a
physician I must from training take
some of my examples from the field
of medicine. The writings of Hippocrates show a science created by observation, recording, comparison and
deductions. Thus, the earliest of the
systematized exploration of medical
problems would have been lost to the
world but for its preservation by a
peripatetic group of scholars —a migratory university, if you will—the
Nestorians who carried some of the
manuscripts ofHippocrates from Constantinople, via Asia Minor and Palestine, along the north African shore of
the Mediterranean. These, sometime
later, became the property of the
Moors and are found in the teachings
of Jewish physicians. They were transplanted to Spain and finally became
the ignition spark for the creation of
the University of Salerno in Italy at
about 1109 A. D. The University at
that time, I may remark, was only
a medical college. From this small

Dr. Heyd's Address on the Independent University (continued)
inheritance was to rise the universities of Europe and America.
Time in the life of a university embraces generations and is not limited
by the Biblical observation of three
score and ten years.
It is recorded that a physician who
lived in the shadow of the Pyramids
recently made a visit to New York
and his host, showing him the Rockefeller Center, inquired "What do you
think of these buildings?" The Egyptian made the cryptic remark that he
would have to wait a thousand years
before he could give an opinion.
A New Epoch

We are all aware that with the
dedication of the new building, the
Samuel P. Capen Hall of the Schools
of Medicine and Dentistry, a new
epoch has taken place in the development and progress of the University
of Buffalo. It is of the greatest import
that we have private universities in
our society. It is important that the
private university have a place of
origin and that it be maintained in
relation to both the local society and
the enlarging society of the nation.
It gives a name to a local habitation.
How few of us would recall Oxford
or Cambridge in England or Baltimore in the United States without the
thought of the universities that are
situated there.
It is not my purpose on this brief
occasion to contrast the private university with the state university.
Each has a well-earned place in the
educational system. However, I should
like to refer to certain aspects and
functions that are inherent in the
university that is maintained by private funds. The private university
sets the standard for our educational,
teaching and research patterns.
A few years ago, at a dinner, I was
sitting next to the late Fiorello La
Guardia, then Mayor of the City of
New York. The topic of our conversation was that the voluntary hospitals were struggling under a debtload which threatened their existence.
The Mayor replied "Good. I will take
them over tomorrow." I gently suggested that it would be very unwise
politically and an injustice to the
people of New York to do so, and
moreover, "Without the private voluntary hospitals your municipal hospitals will have no standard of comparison: it is the standard of the vol-

untary hospital systems that demands
that the municipal hospitals shall at
least try to approach them in management and services." After a moment of deliberation, he expostulated
"I think you are right."
One of the most important conditions that must govern the educational, teaching and research programs of a university is the free
spirit of inquiry. This is only possible
if the environment is propitious and
its financial solvency is assured. Financial support for the private university must come, over the years,
from industry, foundations, generous
donors and the summation of subscriptions from the citizens and the
alumni of the university. It has always seemed to me to be a great
psychological difference between the
issuance of bonds by the state to pay
for a university and the private contributions for endowment and maintenance of a private university. In the
issuance of bonds by the government,
the individual is a voter and a tax
payer. In a contribution to a university the same individual is a member
of the group, is part of the plan and
assists in the fulfillment of a great
human undertaking. His gift is personal, he is part of the university.
"He who pays the piper may call
the tune."

"To The Living Spirit"
Some years after the termination of
World War I a few outstanding citizens of the United States gave a new
building to the University of Heidelberg. On the lintel of the door was
the simple inscription "To the Living
Spirit." It is significant that the
donors selected a university to bear
the inscription, better perhaps, to indicate that the soul of man is immortal and marches through the ages.
In simple fact, the university is the
best mechanism in our society for the
preservation of the universal spirit of
mankind.
Today, in the words of John Buchan,
the human soul is in danger and its
integrity and independence is under
attack. The danger is increasing with
an accelerated tempo and the impact
of the assault comes from two sources:
(a) the peril of the mass with its
ideology of statism and the belief
that the state is an end in itself and
the citizen is expendable as an animated cog in the vast machinery of

the all powerful state: (b) the second
source of impact is the extraordinary
development of the machine, with
efficiency as its watchword and served
by human robots. In short, an almost
complete cancellation of the individual
spirit and personality of man. If these
surmises be correct—or approximately
correct—a new orientation of thinking becomes necessary and society
must turn to the privately supported
and endowed universities for the answer. They are the repository of the
knowable knowledge and the cultural
heritage of the people. They have the
direction, the organization, the teachers and the research workers to combat these impacts. The universities
represent and practice the finest example of a spiritual and ethical democracy. Within the domain of their
influence there is knowledge, freedom
of thought and expression, liberty for
disinterested speculation and facilities for pure research without being
shackled by technological application
and utilitarianism. From their domains of influence there radiate impulses for better education and increasing concern for the religious,
moral, esthetic and ethical qualities
of life.

Touches lives of All of Us
The universities represent, in the
words of Plato, the spirit of inquiry
and life without which it is not worth
living. Just so long as we maintain
private universities shall we preserve
the individual with his talents, and
the individual endowed with unusual
mental capacity, just so long- will we
maintain our civilization and our way
of life.
It has been written "I am a part
of all I have met." It can be said with
all sincerity that the University of
Buffalo touches the lives of all of us.
The present knowledge must be
taught and the exploration for new
knowledge vigorously carried out; the
reciprocal relationship of all segments
of

society investigated and promoted;

the acceptance of free enterprise as a
guiding principle be continued and
enlarged; the humanities be made
"obligatory elections" and pragmatic
studies be part of the university concept. All of these desired ends require
executive and administrative capacity
of highly competent individuals, under
an alert Board of Trustees, enjoying

An invitation to become "sponsoring associates" of the University was
recently made to leaders in business

and industry on the Niagara Frontier.
Dr. T. R. McConnell, chancellor,
speaking to a group of representatives from firms and companies in the

area at a luncheon in Norton Hall
last month described the program.
He said, "Business and industry alike
discovered in recent years that a close
alliance with an institution of higher
education represents an investment in
their future. The returns are substantial and lasting. The University is
eminently fitted to be the partner of
business and industry of the Niagara
Frontier. It is a local institution with
widespread recognition and provides
a diversity in strength of teaching and
research made possible only by the
presence of an able faculty."

Companies which contribute from
$2500 to $5000 a year will be given
senior membership status as sponsoring associates. The minimum fee for
membership is $1000 a year. The

money will be devoted to the support
research, education and services in
the fields in which "sponsoring asso-

of

ciates" are interested.
In return for

their investment the

sponsoring associates will receive a
number of University services. Con-

ferences and lectures will be held so
that members may keep up to date
on the latest research and other
developments; an annual dinner meeting will be held for company execu-

tives of the sponsoring associates;
priority will be given to the members
in considering and arranging contracts for sponsored

research; and
many other services will be offered.

In Spring A Young
And a
Man's Fancy
Woman Should Be, too!
A touch of Spring prevails in the
fashion world of Paris and New York.
All the most appealing styles will
be presented on Saturday, March 13,
at the fifth annual Fashion ShowLuncheon at Hotel Statler sponsored
by the Alumnae Association to benefit the Scholarship Fund. "She Walks
in Beauty", Byron's famous line, is a
most appropriate theme for the fashions which will be shown from
Evelin's Delaware Dress Shop and
Siegel's Millinery.

The Fashion Forecast from the New
York couture indicates gentle lines
achieved with light fabrics mingling
many colors and textures highlighting
the fashions for Spring. The "rebels" in
the ranks of the designers have left
the field wide open and "the look" for
this season offers a wealth of possibilities. This year, fashion dictates
wearing skirts long or short, slim or
full. One can find her most flattering
type in any of the collections for
Spring.

Thank You,
Mead Johnson &amp; Co.
The Bulletin is happy to accord
space to the following letter from
Stockton Kimball, MD'29, dean of the
School of Medicine, to President Mead
Johnson of the Mead Johnson &amp; Company, a prominent pharmacal house,
expressing a hearty "Thank You" for
the financial contribution made by
this concern toward the conduct of
the highly successful Dedication Exercises for the new Medical-Dental
Building.

"Dear

Mr. Johnson:
"On behalf of the faculty and
alumni of the University of Buffalo,
I should like to express appreciation
for the very generous unrestricted
contribution of $3,000 made by Mead
Johnson and Company to the University of Buffalo toward the expenses of
the exercises held on December 11th
and 12th, 1953, to celebrate the dedication of Samuel P. Capen Hall.
"The high quality of the symposia
on education, biological specificity,
parenteral nutrition and oral surgery,
resultant from the excellence of the
speakers who participated, could not
have been achieved without this
splendid assistance.
"Through the media of several appropriate publications such as The
Bulletin of the Medical Society of the
County of Erie and the University of
Buffalo Alumni Bulletin, I am having
the pleasure of bringing to the attention of the alumni and the profession
the generous gift made by Mead
Johnson and Company.
"I should like to add my personal
appreciation for the wisdom of your
company in making a contribution of
this nature."

Why not plan now to get up a party
of friends, neighbors, and former
classmates and attend the Fashion
Show to be held in the main ballroom
of the Hotel Statler at 12:15 P.M. on
Saturday, March 13, 1954. The Fashion Show has proved to be a highlight
of the alumnae events for the past
four years; the committee is confident
it will be a most enjoyable and pleasant afternoon.

The travel bulletin board in Norton
Hall is being covered more and more
by signs reading "Ride wanted to

" or "Rider wanted to
Most of these requests come from students on their way home for holiday
periods.

This is only one example of the
ways by which we are being made
aware of the broadening area from
which students are coming to attend
the University. The entering freshman class in the undergraduate divisions this fall is composed of graduates from 227 different secondary
schools located in fifteen states and
five countries. Over half of the group
reside outside the city of Buffalo.
Perhaps one may wonderhow these
students become acquainted with the
University. One way, of course, is the
increase in the number of our alumni
who are anxious for their sons and
daughters to know about their own
alma mater. Many alumni families
are represented with second and third
generations in the new residence halls.
New CurriculaAttract
The University itself has grown in
prestige through the years because of
its expanded facilities, its tradition,
its faculty, and its constant effort to
offer programs designed to meet the
needs of as many college bound youth
as possible. In addition to the wide
variety of curricula within the College
of Arts and Sciences, the programs in
Education, Business Administration,
Engineering, and Pharmacy, the University has more recently added many
specialized programs. Among these
are Physical Therapy, Medical and

Ohio, and the Niagara Penninsula in
Canada. Miss Dorothy Obrecht, Miss
Alison Coatsworth, and Mr. John J.
Keller, BA'52, the three admissions
counselors, are constantly on the road

our many programs of study and letting them know that the University
may indeed have the right college program for them.
In addition, there is an ever-growing number of written inquiries about
the University received by the Office
of Admissions Counseling. These are
answered with pictorial materials designed to acquaint the writer with
University course work in general
and with campus life here in Buffalo.
Detailed course information is mailed
when needed. Whenever and wherever
possible, a personal letter is sent to
answer individual questions.

with advisors in the many divisional
offices, to meet students with whom
they may some day attend classes.
Students who will live on campus can
see the living accommodations the
University has to offer.

Campus Visits Invited
These two types of contacts are
only the beginning of a very personalized procedure planned to give a prospective student a true understanding
of life on the University of Buffalo
campus. After hearing or reading
about the University, students are
urged to visit campus to see "college
in action". Such a visit includes opportunity for both students and parents to see the campus itself, to talk

Happiness Stressed
This personalization in the handling of the prospective student is extremely important in a school as large
as ours. Many of our students come
from small high schools. If a student
knows from the beginning that he is
taking the right program of study,
that he can find help when he needs
it, and that his success and happiness
are important to the University staff,

It is to the Office of Admissions

Arts College Role in Teaching

Of Democracy Is Upheld

Five Major Objectives Stated in
Self-Study Survey Under
Ford Foundation Grant
A five-point statement of objectives
—one affirming that a liberal arts
college should develop in its students
"a reasoned faith
in the future of
American democracy"— has been
announced by the
University's College of Arts &amp;
Sciences. The recommendations
all approved by
the faculty
are
the result of a
Dean Drake
self-study program sponsored at the college by the
Ford Foundation.
The report, based on interviews
with faculty, alumni and students,
stated that the college should help
the student:
I—To think clearly and to express
himself effectively.
2—To develop a critical understanding of diverse beliefs and ways
of life, together with a reasoned faith
in the future of American democracy.
3—To prepare for effective participation in the world's work by developing creative, professional and administrative leadership.
4—To achieve an appreciation of
man's cultural heritage in several
realms of the arts and sciences.
s—To5—To cultivate and maintain physical and mental health.
The study was started a year ago
under a grant of $22,200 to the university from the Ford Foundation
Fund for the Advancement of Education. The university was one of 21
universities and colleges selected
from 190 which applied for grants to
undertake self-study programs.
Dr. Richard M. Drake, assistant
dean of the College of Arts &amp; Sciences,
was named director of the study
conducted through questionnaires,
personal interviews and discussion
groups. Participants included over
half the faculty, and a sampling of
alumni and students.

ThreePrograms Supported
Dr. Drake, an advisory committee
and other staff members compiled the
data and presented it and their recommendations to the faculty. All rec-

ommendations have been approved
and will be put into effect soon.
Dr. Drake said that "this self-study
appraisal has demonstrated conclubively that a liberal arts faculty is
capable of looking at itself, discovering and admitting its weaknesses, and
recognizing its strong points."
The report included recommendations for three of the programs conducted in the college: the tutorial
plan, the free elective system with
dual advisement, and the anticipatory

examinations.
Dr. Drake said that one of the
recommendations to be followed will
give an opportunity to all students to
take advantage of the tutorial plan
for at least one semester. In the past,
he pointed out, tutorial instruction
was available in some cases only to
superior students, but the committee
feels that the less than superior students may profit from the tutorial
instruction as well as the higherranking ones.
More Counselors Urged
The faculty reaffirmed its belief in
the free-elective system with dual advisement —a system whereby students
select their own courses but get advice from both personnel officers and
faculty members.
However, the committee recommended the system be made more
efficient by means of:
I—An appreciable increase in the
number of professionally-trained
counselors in the office of the dean
of students and in the time available
for

professional counseling.

2—A selected group of faculty advisers, appointed by the dean in consultation with the departments and
the office of dean.
3—A special group of vocation
counselors, chosen to represent the
various professional schools and fields
of concentration of the university,
including medicine, dentistry, medical
technology, law, social service, and
education.
Test Program Approved
Also, to encourage all students,
especially freshmen and sophomores,
to aim at cultural breadth as well as
vocational excellence in planning their
college course, a comprehensive examination will be administered at the

UNIVERSITY BRIEFS
Dr. Pratt Honored
Nationally-known historian Dr.
Julius W. Pratt, Samuel P. Capen
Professor of American History at the
University who retired last year as
dean of the Graduate School of Arts
&amp; Sciences, was honored last month
by some one hundred colleagues and
former students at a testimonial
dinner in Norton Hall on the campus.
Dr. John T. Horton, BA'26, present
chairman of the History Department,
presided and Chancellor T. Raymond
McConnell was the principal speaker,
the latter citing the fame which has
accrued to the University through the
writings and scholarship of Dr. Pratt
since he joined the University faculty
in 1926.

Polio Grant
The University's School of Medicine

$191,466 from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to establish physical medicine and rehabilitation as "an integral aspect of
undergraduate and post-graduate
medical education and medical services on a total regional basis".

of the sophomore year, designed
to test the student's acquaintance
with the over-all patterns of culture,
past and present.
Another purpose of the study was
to survey the attitudes of the college
faculty, of a sample group of 1953
seniors, and of alumni, towards the
anticipatory examinations.
The consensus was favorable
especially from the student group,
the majority of which felt the anticipatory examinations provided a
great "saving of time and money,"
with other values listed as an opportunity for advanced courses, a greater
confidence in the ability to do independent work, preparation for tutoring and advanced work, reduction of
the schedule so that outside work can
be undertaken. Of the alumni questioned on the values of the exams,
70% endorsed the program.
The committee recommended the
continuance of the program of anticipatory examinations, which enable
superior students to get college credit
for extra courses taken in high school,
or for self-acquired knowledge.

The policy now practiced in the
selection of children for the group is
that approximately one-third of the
children are children of faculty and
two-thirds are children of alumni,
children of students attending the
University and children from the general public. Twins and brothers and
sisters are given preference. In like
manner the group is planned to include children from all races, creeds
and religions.
Date of application is the first consideration in filling a vacancy and all
applications are kept on file until a
vacancy occurs. Children accepted in
the three-year-old group are eligible
and usually continue in the four-yearold group. For this reason, it was
possible to accept only two new children in the four-year-old group this
year.

This laboratory school provides an
educational program suited to the
needs of children from 2y 4^ years
of age in separate morning and afternoon sessions. Approximately twothirds of the children attend five days
a week, with the remaining one-third
of the children attending- either three
or two days a week. The enrollment
is limited to twenty children on any
one day due to the limited facilities
of space and personnel, but with the
above arrangement as many as
twenty-eight children have been registered for one session.
The program is flexible and planned
in terms of meeting1 the needs of individual children. There are necessarily, however, a certain minimum of
routines determined by the physiological needs of the children. Active
and quiet activities are alternated
and emphasis is placed upon the value
of free play and good health routines.
The equipment includes everything
the child needs for socialized play and
children can be found carrying' on a
variety of activities at the same time.

Group is Self-Sustaining
The Children's Cooperative Group
is self-sustaining, on the basis of
tuition charges levied in terms of the
number of days each week a child is
enrolled. The tuition is used to pay

the head teacher as well as to purchase all equipment.
Parent cooperation begins with the
child's acceptance into the group and
extends to the following: scheduled
turns in assisting the teacher, transportation, attending regular meetings,
cooperating on special records of the

child at home as well as home visits

by students in connection with the
program. The very nature of the
organization of the cooperative group
provides excellent means for informal
parent education.

Schools Cooperate, Too
In connection with the School of
Education, the Children's Cooperative
Group provides opportunities for student teaching- in the field of the education ofyoung- children. Two Workshops
in the Care of Young Children use the
facilities of the group for observation,
participation and home visits. Parallel to the rapid growth of the preschool program, there grew an increasing awareness of the potential
facilities offered by the laboratory
school to other schools and divisions
of the University. The School of Medicine has used the laboratory school
in a number of instances. At present
senior medical students are assigned
in rotation for a one week period in
the preschool situation to assist the
teacher.
From the School of Nursing, junior
nursing students participate in the
group for a two-week period preceding their experience in the pediatric wards in an endeavor to gain
understanding in meeting the developmental needs of "normal" children.
The departments of psychology and
sociology, and the School of Social
Work send special students and some
full classes for observation from time
to time. Students working toward
Ed.M. degrees use the facilities for

research when their studies involve
work with young children.

�University is Host to European Student-Workers

16

by

Dominic J. Guzzetta.

BA'4B,EJM'SI.EdDSI
The University of Buffalo, through
Millard Fillmore College, has again
been given an opportunity to work
with European
student-workers.
One of ten institutions of higher
learning to be selected for this
project by the
Foreign Operations Administration of the U.
S. Government,
Washington, D.
C.f the University
is currently administering a year's
program of work and study for fifty
European skilled workmen. These
young men have come to the campus
from Western Germany, Austria,
France, Norway, and Greece under
the Industrial-Technical Assistance
Division of FOA, the Trainee Branch
office is directly responsible for administering the program that has
been designated the Work-StudyTraining for Productivity Program.
Program's Objectives

In an attempt to assist in the
rehabilitation of the war-torn Free
Nations of Europe, the WSTP project
was designed to bring to the U. S.
over 2,000 young workmen to spend
one year in an industrial-trainingwhile-working experience in American
factories and living in American colleges. This program has as its ob-

tries, will generally be better leaders
and trainees, who can help dispel their
fellow workers' fears of increased productivity, establish a bulwark against
the spread of Communism, and support the Free Trade Union movement
in opposition to Communist-led unions.
Placed in Industries
While in this country, more specifically in Buffalo, it will be the responsibility of the University to place its
fifty WSTP participants in local
Niagara Frontier industries that have
working relationships between management and either the local A. F. of
L. or C. I. O. unions, where they may
have an opportunity to become active
union members and therefore study
the operations of American unions.
At the same time, they will attend
specially designed University classes
on a part-time basis, learning more
about our country and people. These
courses deal with Oral Communication, American History and Government, the growth of the labor union
movement in the U. S., and industrial
management and its problems.
In an effort to get University and
Community participation in this program, some twenty different people

from U. 8., local labor unions, the
Buffalo Board of Education, and local
industrial concerns have been scheduled to conduct seminars in the above

areas.
Coordinating Committee
A joint committee, representing the
management of local industries, the
labor unions, and the University has
been established. This Committee coordinates relations among the three
groups and plans any special cooperation where needed. In short, it acts
as an advisory body to the program
in order that the following experiences
may be fully enjoyed by each partici-

pant:
(1) Community experience
(2) Educational and observational
experience
(3) Job experience in American industry
(4) Trade union experience

The writer, whose responsibility it
is to supervise the University's WSTP
program, will welcome inquiries from
alumni and others of the University
family who would like to know more
of the program or observe it in action.

jectives:
(1) To give potential leaders of
labor and management in friendly
foreign countries a year of experience
that will stimulate their development;
(2) To provide a broad demonstration of American democracy in action
to young Europeans who will return
to their countries with a better understanding of American life and methods. Such first hand knowledge would
also help to counteract Communist
lies about the U. S.
The project in which the University
is presently involved was developed
in an attempt to show the rank and
file workers from Marshall Plan countries, by actual participation in work
and study, life here in the U. S.
It is hoped that these young people,
upon their return to their own coun-

Cagers' Prospects:
A Winning Season
And Some New Records

"Jumpiri

From Football Scrapbook: "Thanks Doc"

Jim" Home shows how he

got the nickname as he leaps in the air
to sink a two-pointer in the Bulls' game
with Ohio University at Clark Gymnasium.

Buffalo's Bulls defeated the cagers
from the University of Mexico, 81-56,
in the season's thirteenth game which
was played in Clark Memorial Gymnasium on the campus, making the
record read eight won, and five lost
thus far.
Highlight of the one-sided contest
came in the third quarter, when
Jumpin' Jim Home, sensational junior, went high into the air to "dump"
his final field goal of the game.

With 23 points to his credit, Home
was summoned to the bench with the
roar of a standing ovation ringing in
his ears. He had just set a new career
scoring record of 1067 points, gathered
in three years of play. The former
mark was a three-year total of 1065
tallied by Harold R. Kuhn, Edß's2,
presently a Navy pilot stationed in
Jacksonville, Fla. "Prince Hal", as he
was referred to by area sports writers,
still holds the season scoring record of
485 points, produced in his senior
year.
Home, whose freshman points were
in varsity competition, has run up
totals of 374, 436, and 257. The latter
figure is his total for thirteen games
this season. With ten contests remaining, not to mention another
year's eligibility, Jim appears likely
to set a record which may never
again be equaled.

From the football scrapbook comes this photo. "Doc," of course, is E. Walter
Woodbury, DDS'IS, long a master at luncheons, reunion, and publicity for University
athletic teams traveling in the Bath, N. V., area.
Shown expressing their gratitude for his hospitality on their trip this fall to Lewisburg, Pa., for the Bucknell game are, I. to r., George J. King, Jr., team trainer; Ronald
Laßocque, center; Friedrich "Fritz" Febel, head coach, and Elmer John, fullback.
The Bulls return to action in Clark

Gym on February 2nd, meeting Williams College, following a three-week
rest during mid-year exams.

he feels secure and pleased that he
chose the University of Buffalo for
his school.
The alumni of the University can
do much to assist with the selection
of students for the University. Merely
by writing to the Office of Admissions
Counseling, they can secure descriptive materials that will bring them
up-to-date on life on the campus. A
new pictorial brochure has been
designed for this purpose. Through
divisional catalogs and small folders
they can become acquainted with
specific curricular offerings. We hope
that alumni will contact this office
whenever its staff may help them tell
the University of Buffalo story to
prospective students.

ALUMNI CLUB AND ASSOCIATION MAILINGS
With group rosters growing each year and new clubs being organized from
coast to coast, the problem of mailing has become greater as the number of
meetings increase.
The Alumni Office, no longer possessing its own addressograph

and

mail

facilities, must process its mail through the central mail office which handles
the

mail of all University departments.
It is important that the Alumni Office be given notice of mailing requests

thirty days prior to the date of mailing.

In order to assure adequate time for preparation, addressing, and mailing
of all materials, Club and Association officers are asked to honor this regulation, thereby providing prompt and efficient mailings for all.
Incidentally, your Alumni Bulletin goes to press on the fifth day of September, November, January, March and May for mailing on the first of the
following month. Articles for inclusion should be in the Alumni Office no later

than

the

from page 6)

the continued financial support of all
the citizens and industry.
Here then in Buffalo is your university, demonstrating democracy at its
best. In the words of Ewing, "a cooperative intellectual and moral endeavor to justify mankind's great
adventure in altruistic effort, the
university."

The formal dedication of a new
building would not be of very great
importance in the long span of history if it were merely a local or a
timely exercise. However, the dedication yesterday of the Samuel Paul
Capen new building of Medicine and
Dentistry is of surpassing importance
and an epoch to Buffalo, the State
and the Nation. All the physical materials were present yesterday, the
iron, bricks, stone and equipment; to
the splendid structure we brought the
solemn details of dedication. Over
and above these details was the inspiring thought that we, you and me,
and a host of others, were making a
great contribution for the benefit of
the vast numbers of people yet to be
born. We were part of a re-dedication
to the living spirit of mankind.

On Being Part of the Plan
"

It has

always seemed to me

to

be

a great

psycho-

logical difference between the issuance of bonds by the state
to

pay for

a

university and the private contributions for

endowment and maintenance of a private university. In the
issuance of bonds
voter

and a

same

individual is

tax

by the

the individual is

government,

payer. In a contribution
a

to a university

a

the

member of the group, is part of the

plan and assists in the fulfillment of a

great human

under-

taking. His gift is personal, he is part of the university."

—from the 1953 Alumni Luncheon Address
of Charles Gordon

Heyd, MD'O9.

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

ABOUT THE COVER
Yes, Spring is the time of turned fancies and the Junior Prom.
We can't recall when a picture has captured the magic and ecstasy
of the "big evening" as does our cover photo. Each year similar
scenes are enacted in the campus residence lounges, not to mention
the homes of students living in and near Buffalo.
Just to make the cover picture, taken before last year's prom,
more appropriate we should mention that Dorothy M. Lee is now
an alumna, having received a bachelor's degree from the College of
Arts and Sciences in June, 1953. Bill Sugnet, presently a senior in
the same college, is the son of Everett H. Sugnet, DDS'3O, and the
grandson of Edward L. Sugnet, DDS'O2.

A MESSAGE
the K^hancetlor of the l/lnlveriitu:
To the Alumni:
In this annual message it is customary to express gratitude for
financial support, and I do not wish to underemphasize in the
slightest degree the University's appreciation for the financial contributions of its graduates to many phases of its activities. I would
like to defer comment on the alumni fund for a moment, however,
to express appreciation for what is even more important
the
deep interest of alumni in the University and their strong determination to have it perform its mission with even greater effectiveness. I firmly believe that the University and its alumni are
closer together now than they have been for a long time, and that
this community of spirit will lead to many new accomplishments. If
I may add a personal word, it is to say that I have enjoyed my
relationships with alumni organizations and with graduates as
individuals. Last year I had the opportunity to meet alumni in
many parts of the state and the nation, and it was a warming and
stimulating experience.
Alumni may be very proud indeed of their record of financial support during the past year. Their
contributions to the Loyalty Fund, the Centennial Fund, the Greater University Development Fund, and
their special gifts amounted in all to nearly $385,000. This record is not only a testimonial to the loyalty of
all those who participated, but especially to the many people who gave leadership to the program, it is
impossible to list the names of all these leaders. However, I should like especially to express the University's indebtedness to the General Alumni Board and to Mr. T. W. Van Arsdale, Jr., the Director of
Alumni Relations and the man who has taken administrative responsibility for the alumni fund drives.
I should like to add another personal word at this point. I shall always be grateful for Mr. Van Arsdale's counsel and cooperation. It has been a pleasure this year to have him serve as a member of the
Deans' Council, to whose deliberations he has added very significantly.
I am sure that the alumni of the other divisions of the University will not be at all critical if I make
special mention of the contributions of the graduates of the Medical School, whose total gifts among
the funds mentioned above came to more than $268,000. This is unmistakable evidence that they are
jealous of the reputation of the Medical School and determined to make it one of the outstanding medical schools in the country. To their gifts for capital purposes they have recently added contributions for
current support, through the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education. The alumni of other
divisions may be expected, I am certain, to follow their example. These contributions, together with those
which will be secured from industry, foundations, and other sources, are capable of guaranteeing the
future of the University of Buffalo as an independently controlled, privately supported institution.
In a recent address before the Association of American Colleges on the financing of independent
universities, I made the statement that "... a large area of voluntary effort must be preserved in a
democratic society and a free enterprise system. If the independent institutions should surrender their
autonomy, if they should abdicate their educational leadership or lose their intellectual freedom, or if
they should succumb to a virtual government monopoly in higher education, the very character of our
society would be fundamentally and dangerously altered."
I am sure you believe this with equal conviction and are determined to maintain the integrity and
independence of the University of Buffalo.

Message

(committee (chairman:

To the Alumni:
In this issue is the final report of the Loyalty Fund and the Development Fund.
Over 1,100 alumni gave to the Loyalty Fund a total of 517,000, and 2,100 alumni contributed to the Development Fund a total of $359,000. The Loyalty Fund shows less
money received, but, of course, many were paying on the Development Fund pledges
which accounts for the decrease in Loyalty Fund gifts.
However, this is another year, and we hope that everyone will feel, what the fund
name implies—loyalty to the University—to the extent that a gift will be given to
help the University with its financial problems.
This year a new project is under way among the medical alumni whereby an annual pledge of at
least $100 each has been asked. To date, at least $75,000 has been subscribed and the campaign is only
about half finished. This shows what one school is doing to help the University.
We thank everyone who subscribed and strongly urge those who haven't to do their part in aiding

our great Alma Mater.

Sincerely yours,

PERCENTS, PENNIES AND PEOPLE
by Virginia M. Ross, BS(Bmyio

Few individuals, with the exception
of a stray statistician here and there,
will pay much attention to a figure
when it comes down to the fineness of
1%. Yet out of the 4000 women graduates of the University of Buffalo,
there are some 40 who form the nucleus of the active groupof the Alumnae Association —and that is 1%!
Every woman who pays her annual
dues of $1.00 per year is considered a
member of the Association. However,
it is only about 15C£, of the Alumnae
who do pay. You know that it takes
more than dollar dues to make a
recognized organization. It takes people. People who are willing to devote
a lot of their time and efforts, and
people who are willing to devote a
little of their time and efforts.
By the same token, it takes more
one social event a year, like the
Fashion Show, to provide enough
than

money for a scholarship for a deserving undergraduate and to pay for
$3500 worth of furnishings for the
lounge in Macdonald Hall. A handful
of people worked for months to produce the Fifth Annual Luncheon and
Fashion Show held last month. More
profit was made from this Fashion
Show (because of advertising in the
program, not on the price of the
ticket) than on the four previous ones
together. Part of the success can be
attributed to the increasing enthusiasm shown toward the Alumnae
Association in the past year. The

larger part can be attributed to the
loyalty and spirit of the Committee.

You reach a pcint of diminishing
return when it comes to fund raising,
but the Alumnae has come nowhere
near a point of increasing turnout
when it comes to people. When you
look at what has been done this year
with 1%, think what could be done
with 2c,'c The active group of the
Alumnae Association has recognized
the sudden mushrooming of the University of Buffalo, and realizes the
Association must mushroom along
with it. During this past year alone
the entire Constitution was revamped
to make it more flexible. This permits
women who attended the University,
but did not graduate, to be members
on equal standing. The Board of
Directors and the officers are elected
by the members. The members vote
on all decisions. Anyone who has indicated that she wishes to be considered an active member is contacted
personally and advised of each meet-

.

ing.

It is still not too late to "join up".
The next meeting will be April 29th
at 8 P. M. in Norton Hall, when our
speaker will be Dr. Richard M. Drake,
assistant dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences, who has recently been
appointed the University's Director of
Institutional Research. If you do your
bit to increase the people, you automatically increase the pennies and the
percent.

Alumnae Plan
June Dance
Hire a baby sitter, switch the poker
game to another night, get a date, but
be sure that you are available for Friday, June 11th. That is the night of
the U. B. Alumni Dance to be held
at the Buffalo Trap and Field Club.
The dance is sponsored by the U. B.
Alumnae Association, profit going to
the Scholarship Fund and other
worthy causes connected with the

University.
This year's dance can technically
be considered the "first". However,

one was held last June as more or less
a "trial run" to test the alumni reaction. The enthusiasm was so convincing that there is no doubt that
this dance will become an annual
must.
Tickets will be $3.00 per couple.
Dancing will be from 10 to 2 with
music by Dave Cheskin's Orchestra.
Sales will start May 17th; so watch
the papers for announcements of
salesmen and places to buy tickets.

Chancellor Selection
Committee

effort to find a qualified replacement by Fall. The committee
has under consideration the
names of 25 potential candidates. In casea successor is not
selected by Fall, the ordinances
cf the

University provide that

the Chairman of the Council
shall serve as Acting Chancellor
until a Chancellor is appointed."

Chancellor McConnell Resigns
T. Raymond McConnell. eleventh
chancellor of the University, recently
announced his resignation and intention to devote himself to teaching,
writing and research at the University of California. The announcement,
made on February Ist at a meeting
of the General Administration Committee of the University Council, did
not indicate a definite date of departure although it did signify that his
new duties would commence in the
Fall.
As this issue of your Bulletin went
to press, it was announced that Dr.
McConnell will join the faculty of the
University of California as professor
of higher education, effective January 1, 1955.
Dr.

Consultant's Appointment
The actual effective date of the
chancellor's resignation will be July
1, 1954, when he will accept the
honored appointment to the position
of chief consultant to the State Survey of Higher Education in California.
This six-month assignment is a tribute to Dr. McConnell's national reputation as an educator and will take
precedence over his earlier plans.
Dr. McConnell will prepare a report
on the information gathered by a
full-time staff and special consultants
and submit it to those representatives
who, in turn, will prepare a report for
a liaison committee representing the
State Education Department and the
Board of Regents. An advisory committee to the survey includes representatives of the State's private colleges and universities.

Return to Teaching
In originally announcing his decision to become a professor of higher
education at the University of California, Dr. McConnell said:
"With the exception of only two of
the 30 years I have been a member of
a college or university staff, I have
been involved in some administrative
work, but my greatest satisfaction
has come from teaching, and especially from close association with
graduate students. On two other occasions I have declined an administrative appointment at the University
of California, but this position permits
me full-time graduate teaching and
research, with an opportunity for
writing which has been almost impossible in the midst of administrative
duties.

to Accept

"If I wished to continue in administration, I would have no ambition
beyond the University of Buffalo, but
if I am to return to teaching, I
should not postpone the change any
longer.
Close Friendships
"My work at the University of Buffalo and in this community has been
deeply rewarding and stimulating.
I am deeply grateful for the cordiality, the support and the assistance
of many people.
"I am particularly indebted to Mr.
Seymour H. Knox. chairman of the
University Council. I have never enjoyed personal or professional asso-

ciations as much as the ones I have
had with Mr. Knox. He deeply understands the true character of the University, its problems and its needs.
Few people know the generous
amount of time and energy he gives
to the University, and the enormous
value of his service. His leadership
and his unfailing support of my administration have been in large part
responsible for whatever progress the
University has made during the last
3V2 years.
"It has also been a privilege to be
closely associated with the members
of the Committee on General Administration, and to have had the backing
of the entire council. I am especially
grateful, too, for the co-operation and
loyalty of an unusually-able group of
administrative associates, led by Dean
G. Lester Anderson and Dr. Claude
E. Puffer. For the faculty's co-operation and good will in advancing the
University's interests I shall always
be deeply appreciative.
Community Challenge

"With the continued interest and
support of this community, and the
whole of Western New York, the University of Buffalo will grow into still
greater stature and usefulness. No
half-measures will assure this greatness, or enable the University to
measure up to the needs and opportunities of this great region.
"I sincerely hope that the University's future will always be sketched
in bold lines and the entire community will unite in whatever way
may be necessary to give the vision
reality.
"It must not be forgotten that the
University of Buffalo not only provides a college of liberal arts, which

is central to the entire institution, but

California Post

maintains, at high cost, a wide range

specialized and professional curas well as graduate offerings
in many fields.
"It is the only institution in the
metropolitian area and in the eight
of

ricula,

counties

of Western

New York,

which

especially serves, that offers to
young people so many educational opportunities. It can continue to serve
thi3 region only if, as it serves all its
people, it is in turn supported generously by all these people.
it

Growth Foreseen
years the University's
enrollment will begin to increase, and
soon will surpass the postwar peak.
It is essential to prepare for this
great influx of students now. A new
science building is an immediate
necessity, and classroom and office
space for other departments is imperative. Buildings will mean little
without a faculty of high quality.

213 DEGREES CONFERRED AT MIDYEAR COMMENCEMENT
T. R. McConnell, chancellor of
University of Buffalo, presented
graduating
students with their
213
diplomas at the University's annual
midyear commencement exercises,
Monday, February 22 at Kleinhans
Dr.

the

Music Hall.
Mr. Alex F. Osborn, co-founder of
Batton, Barton, Durstine and Osborn.
and vice-chairman of the University
Council, gave the commencement address which was titled "The Creative
Application of Knowledge."
Mr. Osborn's Speech
Mr. Osborn called the University of
Buffalo a "unique monument" to
"Americanism at its best" and "to the
power of imagination." He said:
"What a feat of imagination took
place 108 years ago when Millard
Fillmore started a medical school with
72 students in an abandoned church
down on Lafayette Square, and prophesied that some day that acorn would
grow into the oak of a university we
now cherish.
"What a feat of imagination Walter
P. Cooke and his colleagues performed
about four decades ago, when they
looked at the grubby buildings of the
Erie County Poor House, and at its
175 acres choked with weeds, and
said, 'Our citizens will here create a
campus such as but few cities in the
world can ever match.'
"To build and to run so great an
institution has cost about 25 millions.
Almost miraculously those millions
not through tax suphave come
port
not through the largess of
just a few philanthropists—but, from
the free will gifts of some 35,000
citizens. That record marks our university as a unique monument to
Americanism at its best, and also as
a monument to the power of imaginations."
Mr. Osborn, who is the author of a
recently published textbook, "Applied
Imagination: Principles and Procedures of Creative Thinking," urged
the graduates to apply their knowledge with imagination.
He pointed out many examples for
the graduates to follow in applying
imagination in their individual professions and concluded that while "the
cash awards of creative efforts are
plenty, that the more frequent and
more fruitful rewards come in the
coin of happier living."

"A man to whom the people in this community have long turned when
the need for leadership was greatest", ivas the phrase used by Chancellor T.
Raymond McConnell in his presentation of the Chancellor's Medal to Daniel
W. Streeter. Observing the presentation, center, is Alex F. Osborn, member
of the University Council who was the commencement speaker.
Chancellor's Medal
The Chancellor's Medal, which the
University bestows annually on an
outstanding- citizen for distinguished
service to the community, was
awarded at the exercises to Daniel
W. Streeter of 1022 Delaware Avenue.
The Chancellor's Medal, which was
awarded for the twenty-seventh time
was established by the University's
sixth chancellor, Charles P. Norton,
"to personify civic patriotism and to
vivify public service in the eyes of the
citizens of Buffalo."
In citing Mr. Streeter. Chancellor
McConnell called him, "a man to
whom the people in this community
have long" turned when the need for
leadership was greatest."
Mr. Streeter is executive director
of the Buffalo Foundation, and director of several business corporations.
He has traveled in Africa and Greenland, and written widely of his experiences. "The variety of his accomplishments, as well as the breadth of
his personal interests, has demonstrated that to be a well rounded individual does not mean that a person
cannot excel in any field but means
simply that he can excel in many."
the Chancellor said.
Chancellor McConnell recalled that
during the worst years of the depression in the thirties. Mr. Streeter was

Chairman of the Emergency Relief
Bureau in Buffalo, and that in four
years of that agency's existence, it
was responsible for the expenditure
of about fifty seven million dollars to
purchase food, shelter and clothing
for Buffalo citizens. "Under his direction, the Emergency Relief Bureau
did its work in a way that was both
efficient and humane," Chancellor McConnell said.
The Chancelloralso pointed out that
Mr. Streeter headed seven of the eight
War Loan Campaigns in Erie County
during World War II which raised
$960,000,000. "Anyone who has had
anything to do with carrying through
a War Loan drive knows it is one of
the hardest voluntary tasks anyone
can undertake," the Chancellor said.
"That is was done successfully seven
times in the space of four years is
almost incredible. This is one of the
most distinguished records of public
service rendered in Buffalo in a gen-

eration."
The choice of Mr. Streeter as recipient for the Chancellor's Medal was
widely heralded by the press.
Honored Guest
Dr. Salvador P. Lopez, minister
plenipotentiary of the Philippines and
head of the Philippine delegation to
the United Nations, was an honored
guest at the commencement exercises.

OF THE MEDICAL SCHOOL
THE FUTURE
Kimball, MD'29,
By Stockton

How good will medical education
be in Western New York in the next
fifteen or twenty years or, for that
matter, in the next five years? The
answer to this question will to a considerable degree be indicated by the
physicians themselves who have
banded together to purchase shares in
the Annual Participating Fund for
Medical Education.
One thing is sure: the quality of
medical education in Western New
York will depend on the University of
Buffalo School of Medicine, the only
one in the area. In the long run the
quality of medical education provided
by the University of Buffalo determines the quality of medical treatment people can get in Western New
York. The majority of physicians in
this region graduate from the University of Buffalo School of Medicine.
Buffalo's ability to retain leaders in
medical education depends heavily on
the opportunities for research and
study which only a top-notch local
medical school can provide. The future
of the hospitals is closely allied with
that of the medical school. Each
requires the other.
Assets of The Medical School
Among the assets of the medical
school are a fine, new building, Capen
Hall, a long tradition of integrity and
accomplishment, and a location in the
midst of a great population center,
which makes possible the necessary
clinics, and the all-important working relationships with great hospitals.
Problems of The Medical School
Serious weaknesses exist, especially
in the basic science departments.
When one compares the budgets of 21
privately-supported medical schools
visited during a recently-conducted
Survey of Medical Education, Buffalo
ranks 14th in the amount of money
devoted to the study of Anatomy;
20th in Biochemistry; 17th in Physiology; 18th in Pharmacology; and
19th in Pathology. The salary levels
are only two-thirds of the average
national minimums. The number of
teaching and research faculty members in each department is well below
the national average. Yet as is common throughout the country these
basic science departments teach not
only medical students but graduate
and postgraduate students and stu-

can Medical Schools include governmental appropriation, endowment, tuition income from the University as
a whole, salary sharing by teaching
hospitals and annual giving. Because
of the rapid growth of the University
of Buffalo in the last 30 years on the
Campus which was formerly the
County Poorhouse, a high percentage
of the legacies and of the money
raised by five campaigns has had to go
into buildings. While the value of the
buildings is approximately $15,000,000
the endowment is only $8,000,000.

Kimball, '29
dents of dentistry, nursing-, pharmacy,
physical therapy and physical edu-

cation. Although the new building,
Samuel P. Capen Hall, will permit the
Medical School to accept up to 100
students in each class, in place of the
present 70, this cannot be accomplished without a real increase in faculty and equipment.

The Reasons for The Problems
The weaknesses both in the basic
science and clinical areas result directly from lack of money. All medical education is expensive. In every
medical school in the country including Buffalo, the tuition of a medical
student pays only one-quarter to onethird of the costs. This is primarily
because of the amount of individual
and small group instruction needed
to teach the students the skill and
responsibility required in dealing with
life and death and secondarily because
of the elaborate and up-to-date laboratory equipment needed to teach
the science of medicine. To meet its
costs one school has established a
tuition of $2650 per year for out of
state students. Such tuition would
exclude many worthy students from
the study of medicine. In Buffalo the
tuition for next year is $850, a $50
increase over the current tuition.
Who Pays the Bill ?
The sources of the balance of the
costs of medical education in Ameri-

Consequently the University of Buffalo must derive from tuition income
almost 90% of its unrestricted funds
for general educational expenses. This
is far too high a percentage and has
serious implications in a period when
inflation outstrips the social advisability of raising tuition charges at a
corresponding rate. This is the limiting factor which has prevented development of the basic science departments of the medical school to a
strength appropriate to the reputation of the institution. This is the
more true since the University as a
whole has to prepare for much
greater enrollments in all departments within the next five years and
desperately needs buildings such as
a new physics building.

Private Enterprise
The University of Buffalo is a private, independent University dedicated to and dependent upon private
enterprise. Its Medical School is dedicated to preparation for private practice, teaching and research. No one
wishes to consider the prospect of
governmental endowment and governmental control. The only alternative
is increased support from private
sources.
That is the basis for initiation by
physicians of the University of Buffalo Annual Participating Fund for
Medical Education. This is a project
organized by the University and the
medical profession which is aimed at
securing annual participation by every
physician in the area and every medical school alumnus for the purpose of
aiding in meeting the costs of medical
education, particularly in the basic
science
or pre-clinical departments
anatomy,
of the medical school

The Answer to a Dilemma
(Continued from page 23)

and immunology, pathology and pharmacology. If all physicians in Western New York and all graduates of the
medical school throughout the nation
subscribe to one $100 unit per year
through their years of practice, it will
be possible to raise $260,000 per year
which would be the equivalent of the
interest from about 10 million dollars
of endowment. This would not fill all
the needs of the school but it is anticipated that the $200,000 of fluid
funds thus secured would permit
strengthening of the basic science
departments to a level comparable
with other well-supported medical
schools and would permit an increase
in enrollments, teaching and research.
The University as a Beneficiary
The present campaign will be followed by a continuing effort to get
the University named as a beneficiary
in wills. An endowed professional
chair or a chair of lesser rank in any
basic science or clinical department
is the strongest type of support which
a private University can receive. The
present participating fund is directed
toward the support of the basic
science departments because the need
is greatest here and the opportunities
provided by the new building require
realization. Additional support for
the Clinical Departments from other
sources will also be needed as the bigger entering classes reach the clinical
3rd and 4th years.

Dr. Beck Chairman
Dr. Edgar C. Beck has consented to
serve as chairman of an Executive
Committee to organize the Annual
Participating Fund. A number of
physicians and other citizens will compose an Advisory Committee. The
Council of the University has given
official recognition and approval to
the plan and to the permanence of the
organization. At a meeting in Samuel
P. Capen Hall on February 22nd,
hundreds of the leading physicians of
the area came together to get the
project under way. Every medical
man in Erie County will be approached by another physician and
asked to do his part. Following this,
medical school alumni in other counties and areas of the country will be
approached. Initial contributions have
been most encouraging. The keen interest shown by the physicians in the
strengthening of the Medical School
and the University is evidence of the
growing strength of the Institution.

found the beginning of the answer to
the Medical School's problems, and

THANK YOU,
R LABORATORIES

The Bulletin recently received the
following letter from Stockton Kimball, MD'29, Dean of the School of
Medicine. Of vital interest to members of the medical profession, we ate
happy to include it as a tribute to the
M &amp; R Company:
"I should like to call to the attention of members of the medical profession and any others interested that
the report of the Pediatric Research
Conference on 'Renal Function in Infants and Children' held at the University of Buffalo and the Children's
Hospital, March 2nd &amp; 3rd, 1954, is
now available and may be secured
from the M &amp; R Laboratories or from
Dr. Charles U. Lowe at Children's
Hospital in Buffalo."
"On behalf of the Medical School,
I should like to congratulate the M &amp;
R Laboratories on their forward-looking policy of support of basic research
through the backing of this series of
Pediatric Research Conferences. The
Buffalo conference was the seventh
such conference to be held since 1951.
The M &amp; R Company has paid all the
expenses involved in the conduct of the
conference and likewise the expense
of publication of the proceedings. The
medical profession is the beneficiary
of the far sightedness of the M &amp; R
Laboratories in backing this series of
Research Conferences."

TESTIMONIAL TO HONOR
DEAN LEMON ON RETIREMENT
Dr. A. Bertram Lemon, Dean of the
School of Pharmacy, will retire from
administrative duties following the
present academic session.
For some time now, the alumni of
the school have been rallying behind
the efforts of the testimonial Committee headed by chairman MearlD. Pritchard, PhG'2l. This committee, cooperating with representatives of area
pharmaceutical societies and professional groups, has scheduled what
might well prove to be the largest
University dinner testimonial ever.
Sunday, April 25th, at 6:30 P.M..
former students, colleagues and
friends will assemble in the main ballroom of Hotel Statler to honor Dean
Lemon, who has served in his present
capacity since 1936.

As a recognized participant and
leader in local and national professional activities, "Doc" Lemon was
never too busy to lend guidance and
instruction to student music and athletic organizations. Many have often
referred to the Dean as the "real
father of music" at the University.
While mailings have reached graduates of the pharmacy, medical and
dental schools, it is hoped that former
students and colleagues of all departments will accept this opportunity to
honor the man who has done so much
for all.
Requests for reservations should be
addressed to: A. Bertram Lemon Testimonial Committee, 200 Morgan Building, Buffalo. N. Y.

Those who have worked with
Dr. Lemon undoubtedly have in
their possession photographs,
anecdotes and odds and ends
which would be welcomed for
inclusion in a presentation booklet to be given the Dean during
the program.
Perhaps you would just like
to write a note or letter to Dr.
Lemon to be included in the collection. Please do so.
Any manuscripts or photos
will be reproduced and your
original will be promptly and
safely returned.
Kindly address your materials

GEORGE
1881

D. CROFTS

-

1954

University officials, alumni, friends
and civic leaders of Buffalo gathered
on February 17th to pay last respects
to George D. Crofts, who for thirty
years guided the financial destiny of
the University of Buffalo.
The passing of University's comptroller and treasurer, from 1921 until
1951, came on February 15th, following an illness of several months.
Mr. Crofts, who retired from administrative duties on June 30, 1951,
saw the University's plant assets grow
from $782,743 to $9,870,125 while the
endowments mounted from $150,000
to $8,351,156.

He had actually been associated
with the University for 47 years,
having attended Old Central High
School, graduated from Cornell University in 1901 and Cornell University Law School in 1903, and returned
to Buffalo in 1904 as a lecturer in
the Law School on contracts and
torts.
A widely-read man who conversed
easily with all and numbered his
friends from all walks of life, George
Crofts was friend, teacher and counselor to all persons associated with
the University, community and nation.
George Crofts, leader in business
and education, was gifted with the
common touch, often enjoying a pipe
while strolling almost daily across
the spacious campus which owes its
beauty and charm to his foresight
and planning.
Perhaps the most cherished testimonial to his efforts and care was
recently received, in letter form, in
the office of the treasurer.
Accompanying an anonymous gift
of $1000, the letter said:
"The intent of this gift is to perpetuate, as near as may be, the love
and devotion of George D. Crofts for
the University campus and the
infinite care and interest with which
he administered its upkeep and improvement while he was comptroller
and treasurer of the University.
"I would like to have the George
D. Crofts Campus Fund used annually

for the beautification of the University campus. The
beautification may
consist of the purchase of trees or
flowering shrubs or
hedges or other
plantings which
will add to the lasting beauty of the
campus. The trees
and shrubs so purchased shall be marked with appropriate tags noting: the name of the
specimen and the fact that it was
purchased with funds from the George
D. Crofts Campus Fund. It is my hope
that others will add to the fund."
The University has gratefully accepted the gift and approved the
establishment of the fund.
Your General Alumni Board, adjourning its last meeting in respect
to Mr. Crofts, adopted the following
resolution:
"WHEREAS, his humility, simplicity, integrity, and vast intelligence were basic to his unique personal, academic, and business efforts
in initiating and nurturing the beauty
of the campus of the University of
Buffalo, both in the tangible and intangible properties of that campus;
and,
"WHEREAS, he so masterfully
guided the intricate financial affairs
of the University of Buffalo, thereby
forever benefiting the whole Western
New York region;
"THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
that we, the representatives of the
former students of his and our beloved
University of Buffalo, do here give
voice to our deep and abiding respect
for and gratitude to George D. Crofts
whose selfless devotion and wise practices have brought about the more
firm establishment of a great University which shall live forever as a
memorial to the remarkable foresight,
indomitable spirit, and intense devo-

tion

of him,

our friend, counselor,

leader, and fellow in the pursuit of

truth and freedom."

GRAPPLERS END SEASON AS A. A. U. HOSTS

Ist photo: Coach George J. King, Jr., Cortland State Teachers '49, gives a jew last-minute pointers to team capMovetain Don Worth, University's wrestling star for the 1953-1954 season. 2nd photo: Buffalo's George "Bumper"
sian performs a "Siamese Twin" act with J. Dennis ofAlfred in the 147 lb. class of the season's final match. Incidentally, Dennis stayed on top to win a close decision.
When last heard from, Don Beitleman, University's all-time wrestling
great, was in the midst of a European tour and gaining fame in the

top arenas. Don might be
interested in knowing that Coach
George King has developed a briefcase-size, sure-fire candidate for the
traveling1 troupe in the form of Lil'
world's

Don Worth. Worth, who held down
the 123 lb. spot this year, won ten of
thirteen matches, scored 46 points
while allowing 9 to opponents, and
never was pinned.
Beitleman, in his hey-day, won
eleven of twelve matches and scored
58 points in the 1947-1948 season.
Following last year's lean season.
King's crew was off to a lightning
start featuring the heavyweight sensation, Julius Perlini who took championship honors in the 1953 4-1
Tournament in Cleveland. Ohio and
the Niagara District AAU bouts.
Following the Toronto match in late
January, Perlini was decisioned by
Uncle Sam and injuries sidelined
Harry Ham, 130 lb.; Steve Zatko,
147 lb.; Fran Worth, 137 lb.; and Bill
Ford of the 177 lb. class.
These vacancies were filled by members of the football squad who responded to the emergency calls and
also welcomed further competition
from old friends of the gridiron cam-

paign. Ron Laßocque, veteran football center, assumed the heavyweight
roll while football captain Ray Cham-

Berlin teamed with Bill Furlong to
restore the much-needed balance for
squad strength.
In addition to the season schedule
and results which follow, the team
contributed its share of public relations duties by conducting no less
than fifteen exhibitions throughout
Western New York, not to mention
the numerous officiating and lecture
appearances of George King, dean of
the area's collegiate wrestling coaches.
What about next year? "With upand-coming men from our varsity and
freshman squads, we'll be giving
every team a run for its money", said
the coach.
Incidentally, as this article goes to
press George is looking forward to
the Niagara Association A.A.U. Senior Wrestling Championships to be
conducted in Clark Memorial Gymnasium, Saturday, March 27th. So
are the opponents! They are all sure
of one thing. There'll be University
of Buffalo men in the final standings!

our December Issue there ap-

peared a story dealing with the prospects of the 1954 fencing: squad. The
article followed a lead line reading,
"Fencers' Varsity Out for 'Blood' ".
If fifteen wins and three defeats
isn't classed in the "blood-drawing"
category, it certainly should be. It is
the official season record.
Now comes the all-important North
Atlantic Fencing Championship match
to be held in Clark Gymnasium on

March 20th. As host club this year,
the University team will welcome representatives of eastern institutions.
Buffalo will be seeking the third consecutive fencing title, the winning of
which should assure permanent possession of the beautiful broad-sword
trophy now in the Clark Gym trophy
case.
On March 26th and 27th the team
will represent the University in the
Fencing Championships at the University of Chicago.
Getting back to that blood angle,
it is interesting to note that trainer
George King considered the fencers
least likely to give him trouble this
season. In reality, he treated two
National Collegiate

minor stab wounds as well as several
scrapes and bruises, while the wrestling team gave him practically no
trouble at all. Who said fencing is a
non-contact sport?

Old Bookstore Is
Now Faculty Club
Alumni of the '45-52 classes will
no doubt recall the long lines which
occasionally formed in front of the
bookstore building, long famous in
North Buffalo as a replica of the
original Holland Land Company in
Batavia, N. Y.
Long lines of waiting students are
rapidly becoming- a thing of the past,
the passing being accelerated with
the transfer of bookstore facilities to
the spacious basement of Norton
Hall's new wing.

Under the direction of Faculty Club
President Frederick H. Thomas, head
of the Department of Industrial Engineering, the old bookstore building
was remodeled and now contains a
first-floor lounge, basement cafeteria,
and second-floor study and recreation
room. Decorated in a charming Early
American style, the clubhouse has already served for several receptions
and gatherings of faculty groups.
Club membership is currently reported at 395 by club treasurer Nicholas Kish, Assistant to the Dean of
Millard Fillmore College. Operating
funds have been acquired through
dues and donations. All remodeling
work was performed by faculty members who volunteered for a total of

850 hours' work.
The University Women's Club,
headed by Mrs. Reginald Pegrum.

and more contributions to operating
funds provide better salaries.
"The next five years will test this
community's will to maintain a great
independent university. It would be
incredible to me if it failed to meet
this responsibility and opportunity."
"The level of faculty salaries has
improved substantially since 1950-51",
the chancellor stated in his annual
report. "The average salaries of fulltime professors have risen 12.3%, of
associate professors 1X5%; assistant
professors 17.6r/r and instructors

14.7%.
"The University has entered the
Federal Social Security program,
which assures a much more adequate
retirement income for staff members.
It has put into effect a plan to supplement the annuities received by faculty

ment program."

During the same three years, the
University received gifts, bequests
and grants amounting to $4,270,427,
the chancellor pointed out. Of this
amount, $588,320 represented increases in endowment funds. Gifts
and grants came to $2,199,535 and
receipts from capital-fund drives to
$1,482,572.

the new building for the Medical and

dormitories for resident students have

been added to Norton Hall.
"Under Chancellor McConnell's
leadership, the educational program
of the University has been expanded
and improved in many ways. He has
encouraged the development of both
teaching and research. To mention
just three examples, the Physics Department has undertaken a study of
carbon which is already attracting
national attention; the University has
established a new and vigorously
growing Department of Music, and,
with the addition of the Albright Art
a broader program for the
Fine Arts is being developed.
"Chancellor McConnell has clarified
for all of us the mutual responsibiliSchool,

ties which exist between a university
and the community it serves. It is not
only for what he has done that we
respect him, but for leading others to
understand what is left to be done.
"The growth of the Niagara Frontier, and the increasing numbers of
young people of college age, create
for the University of Buffalo the blunt
question of whether or not a private
institution can expand its facilities
quickly enough to meet the future
educational needs of this area.
"Chancellor McConnell has started
the University along the path to a
solution of this problem, and has
clearly pointed the way we must go.
Council Gratitude
"We have learned much from our
association with Chancellor McConnell. He commands the highest respect from the community for his
judgment, integrity, ability and keen
insight, not only in human nature, but
in the needs of our University.
"As a friend and colleague I shall

miss him. As chairman of the counsure I speak for all the council members when I express profound
appreciation for all he has done for
the University. Having profited from
his stimulating leadership, the University is now off to a new start, and
with the help of the citizens and corporations of the community, is preparing to meet the great responsibilities with which the future challenges
us."

A New Chancellor
The Record
of Dr. Furnas
Dr. Clifford C. Furnas, Director of
the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory,
was appointed Chancellor of the University of Buffalo by the Council of
the University at a meeting: in the
Marine Trust Company building- April
30. The appointment will become effective September 1. Dr. Furnas will
replace Dr. T. R. McConnell, who on
February 1 announced that he would
resign to conduct a survey of higher
education in California, and to become
a Professor of Higher Education at
the University of California.
In announcing the new appointment, Mr. Seymour H. Knox, chairman of the University's Council, said,
"The entire Council is enthusiastic
about the choice of Dr. Furnas. We
believe he is the best possible person
for the job, and that under his leadership the University of Buffalo will
have a brilliant future.
"Both the University and Dr. Furnas are to be congratulated," said
Chancellor T. Raymond McConnell
"Dr.
concerning the appointment.
Furnas' distinguished career as university teacher, scientist, and administrator eminently qualify him for the
chancellorship. He has wide educational interests, and the University as
a whole will develop in sound directions under his leadership."
Dr. Furnas Speaks

In accepting the appointment, Dr.
Furnas said. "This opportunity to head
a great university is, of course, a
tremendous and an enormous responsibility. The University has a grand
tradition, a fine faculty and dedicated
Council members. It has, I know, the
respect and affection of the whole
area which it serves. With these assets I am confident it will continue to
grow and improve, as it has been
doing steadily for so many years.
"Naturally, my happiness in accepting this new position is mixed
with real regrets at leaving the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, as I've
had the privilege of being part of its
development from the beginning. However, its research and business position is now so well established that
its continuing success is assured, and I

feel more free than I would have in
earlier years to respond to a great
new challenge.
"Iknow that the University of Buffalo will face problems by steadily
increasing enrollments. The University must have more financial support
if it is simultaneously to expand and
improve its services, but I am confident that with the cooperation of
the people of Western New York, the
need can be met. Under Chancellor
Capen and Chancellor McConnell, extraordinary progress has been made.
My highest hope is to help continue
that progress undiminished."

A Scholar and Olympic Track Star
Dr. Furnas was born October 24,
1900 at Sheridan, Indiana. He holds
the degree of Bachelor of Science with
honors from Purdue, 1922, of Doctor
of Philosophy from the University of
Michigan, 1926, and of Honorary Doctor of Engineering from Purdue, 1946.
While in school he was a long distance runner of distinction, and competed in the 5,000 meter event at the
Olympic Games in Antwerp in 1920.
In 1922 he was awarded the Big 10
Conference Medal for the best combined scholastic and athletic record.
A Scientist, Administrator,
and Former Yale Professor
Immediately after leaving Purdue
he was track coach and mathematics
teacher at the Shattuck School, Faribault, Minnesota. This was followed
by research work at the Illinois Steel
Company and graduate work at the
University of Michigan. From 1926
to 1931 he conducted research work
on metallurgical processes at the U. S.
Bureau of Mines at Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the latter year he joined
Yale University as associate professor in chemical engineering and maintained a number of industrial consulting connections. In 1941 and 1942
he worked for the National Defense
Research Committee, coordinating a
large research and development program. He was appointed by CurtissWright as director of its research
laboratory in Buffalo in February,
1943. This Laboratory was given to
Cornell University on January 1, 1946,
at which time he became executive
vice-president and Director of Cornell
Aeronautical Laboratory.

An Expert

in Aviation

Research

While Dr. Furnas has conducted a
great deal of research in the fields of
process metallurgy and physical chemistry, he has specialized in and has
written many technical articles on
fluid flow, heat transfer, combustion
and other phases of research related
to the aviation field. He is a member
of the Committee on Aircraft Construction of the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics, and also
the Army Ordnance Advisory Committee. He is Chairman of the Technical Advisory Panel on Aeronautics
of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense, and was formerly
Chairman of the Committee on Guided
Missiles of the Research and Development Board.
A Distinguished Writer
He is the author of a large number
of technical articles and articles on
education as well as several books, including America's Tomorrow (1932),
The Next Hundred Years, a Bookof-the-Month Club selection in January 1936, Man, Bread and Destiny,
written with his wife, S. M. Furnas,
(1937), and The Storehouse of Civilization (1939). He was editor of the
sixth edition of Roger's Manual of
Industrial Chemistry (1942). He was
also editor of the Industrial Research
Institute monograph on Industrial
Research
Its Organization and
Management (1948). He also wrote
a chapter on Science and Technology
which was included in the third edition
of Modern World Politics (1953).

The Doctors Respond
Western New York has good reason to be
proud of its physicians. Proud—and grateful.
Twice in recent years these men and women of
medicine have given inspiring demonstrations
of private generosity in the public interest.
First was the campaign to raise funds to
build the new School of Medicine at the University of Buffalo. That physicians responded magnificently is shown by the fact that they contributed more than $2,000,000 of the entire
$4,500,000 cost.
The second demonstration grew directly out
of the first. With the new building a reality, but
with the university lacking the income to make
full use of it, the physicians early this year
launched their Annual Participating Fund for
Medical Education. Still barely three months
old, this unique project has already had impressive response in its quest for pledges of
annual contributions for support of the school
from area physicians and U. 8. medical graduates everywhere.
To date, in fact, enough money has been
pledged to enable the school to make certain
faculty improvements next Fall and admit 80
new students instead of 70 as in the past.
The total now stands at $80,160. And this
is only the beginning. Tonight, for example,
the physicians will meet to enlist the support of their colleagues from other parts of
Western New York and Northern Pennsylvania. In this and other ways the project is
expected to grow and prosper as the months
and years go by.
One of the ancient precepts of medical ethics
commands each doctor to impart his gifts of
healing to those who will follow in his steps.
By accepting and meeting the responsibility of
elevating the medical school to new greatness,
the physicians are adding new dignity to an old
art and making a permanent contribution to a
higher quality of medical and hospital care
throughout the Western New York community.
(Reprinted With Permission)

The objective of an even greater University School of
Medicine is beginning to come true, thanks to the initiative and responsibility of the medical alumni and their
colleagues.
Next fall, the School will admit 80 new students instead
of the usual 70 it has been able to accept in the past; the
basic science faculty and their facilities will be expanded,

some salaries will be increased.
All of this has been made possible by the new Annual
Participating Fund for Medical Education launched in
February by medical leaders in the Western New York
area.
So far, the Fund's solicitation has been limited to the
local area; however, at a dinner meeting in Norton Hall
on May 26th. medical alumni leaders from other Western
New York communities and nearby Pennsylvania endorsed
the project and accepted chairmanships for their communities. It is planned that the Fund eventually will seek
the membership of all Western New York physicians and
of medical alumni everywhere.
To date. 825 physicians in Buffalo and Erie County have
pledged to contribute $83,000 annually to the School, the
equivalent of more than $2,000,000 in endowment funds
invested at 4&lt;&gt;. The annual pledges are usually for $100
each and 82% of the actively-practicing physicians in the
local area have recorded their pledges to date.
Edgar C. Beck, MD'l9, chairman of the Fund's Executive Committee, and Dean Stockton Kimball, MD'29, are
hopeful that with the help of the alumni in other parts of
the country the Fund will pass the $100,000 mark in its
first year and continue to grow in the next few years so
that the University's Medical School will become one of
the top medical schools in the United States.
As Dr. Beck has explained, "Every pledgor becomes a
member of the Fund. When the organization is completed,
possibly by next fall, members will meet and elect officers,
an Advisory Committee, and an Executive Committee.
It is expected that, while the fund membership will not
seek to dictate school policy, it will have an important
role in an advisory capacity."
Members of the present Executive Committee, in addition to Drs. Beck and Kimball, include: Harry G. LaForge,
MD'34, FhG'23; William J. Orr, MD'2O; Grant T. Fisher,
MD'25; Henry N. Kenwell, MD'25; Marvin L. Bloom,
MD'43; and Talman W. Van Arsdale, Jr., BA'3B, MA'4O,
EdD's4, director of alumni relations.
At the dinner on May 26th, Chancellor T. R. McConnell
noted that medical alumni and their colleagues contributed
more than $2,000,000 of the $4,500,000 cost of the new
Medical-Dental Building. "And now," said the Chancellor,
"these same physicians, with an unprecedented demonstration of their deep sense of professional responsibility,
are taking the initiative in assisting the School to realization of the potentialities of its outstanding modern facilities."
Those physicians named as the first area chairmen are:
Charles R. Leone. MD'29, of Erie, Pa.; George S. Young,
MD'35, Batavia; Angelo F. Leone, MD'32, Medina; JTheodore Valone, MD'27, Warren, Pa.; Daniel H. Maunz,
MD'3l, Bradford, Pa.; William L. King, MD'3O, and
Nathaniel L. Barone, MD'l7, Jamestown; Benjamin S.
Custer, MD'3O, and Robert R. Northrup, MD'32, Dunkirk
and Fredonia.

Graduating Class of 745 Hears McConnell

Dr. Thomas Raymond McConnell,
in his last commencement address as
University of Buffalo chancellor,
warned that liberal arts, wrongly
taught, can "stulify rather than free
the mind."
He spoke to an estimated 6,000 persons, including 745 graduates upon
whom he later conferred degrees,
gathered in front of Lockwood Memorial Library on Sunday, June 6th.
It was the second year the exercises
were held out of doors.
Ideal, if rather chilly, weather prevailed. The sun obscured at first by
clouds, came out during the graduates' processional to shine steadily
thereafter. Brisk breezes rustled trees
and rippled the ivy on campus buildings.

Dr. McConnell, who leaves to become a professor of higher education
at the University of California, defined liberal arts as the "primary inProperly
struments of freedom."
used, he said, they free the minds of

men.
"Yet they have not always been
used to liberate," he declared, "and
are not always so used today."
He warned of "numerous calls to
subtle rather than
orthodoxy
obvious, but just because they are

...

subtle, especially powerful.

"Everyone would agree that liberal
education involves an understanding
of our cultural and intellectual heritage," he said. "Yet, by selection, intellectual and social history can be
used as an instrument of authority...

Would Avoid Standardization
"An education which inculcates a
standardized view of our cultural
heritage," he continued, "may smother
intellectual freedom, dampen creative
effort, discourage individuality and
strengthen social inertia.
"Used to these ends, potentially
liberal studies serve as instruments
of

authority."
Anything less than "freedom of dis-

cussion, dissent and conclusion," Dr.
McConnell stated, will "engender intellectual subservience rather than in-

tellectual independence."
Dr. McConnell spoke of "how transitory" much knowledge turns out to
be, but added this does not mean
everything is "so unstable the quest
for truth is futile."

Therefore, he declared, the liberally
educated man is "inured to change,
not in the sense of fickleness, but in
the sense of capacity for growth. He
is neither immobilized by dogmatism
nor buffeted about by every wind of
opinion that blows.
"Fully conscious of his place in the
stream of human history," Dr. McConnell said, "he strives to see life
steadily and see it whole. To the liberally educated man, this is a lifelong
goal and a lifelong process."

Administration Praised
Chancellor McConnell was introduced by Chairman Seymour H. Knox
of the University Council. Knox called
Dr. McConnell's administration "four
full years of advancement and progress."
At a point early in his address. Dr.
McConnell paid tribute to Dean Julian
Park, who will step down July 1 after
40 years as the College of Arts and
Sciences' first and only dean. Dr.
McConnell then dedicated the remainder of his remarks to Dean Park,
who was prevented from attending by
illness.

The death of Dr. Roger S. Hubbard, Professor of

Buffalo compiled the following biographical data for the
many publications ichich ivished to pay tribute to Dr.
Hubbard. Dr. Osgood ivas a classmate of Dr. Hubbard
at Harvard and knew him intimately as friend and colleague since their graduation in 1911.
In June, 1930, he was appointed Assistant Professor of Physiology at the

sistants. Although often, outspoken

and forceful in stating his views, this
trait stemmed from the complete honesty and integrity of his thought and
never from a desire to do hurt or to
decry the ideas of others. In his own
field his knowledge was vast, and his
memory phenomenal.
Dr. Hubbard once told a friend that
at one time in his undergraduate
years he was undecided whether to
make his career in literature and
writing or in science. He chose well
the science. The other interest,
however, was always lively and
showed itself in the clarity of his
writings for publication and in his
continuing interest in literature. He
could recite many poems, and long
passages from Shakespeare. He knew
many of the Gilbert and Sullivan
operettas by heart and could sing
verse after verse of their patter songs.
Although sometimes outwardly reserved, he was always a most genial
and welcome companion, and he leaves
a host of devoted friends.
At the time of his death he was

Torpy wasn't using his
bedside manner that blizzardy
night in 1931 when he put through
a call to Kate Pelham Newcomb's
cabin at Boulder Junction, in the wild
lakeland of northern Wisconsin.
"There's a woman down with pneumonia only eight miles north of you,"
he barked over the phone. "I'm 30
miles away and the roads won't be
plowed till morning. Go out and take
that call."
"But I haven't practiced medicine
since I left Detroit eight years ago,"
Kate Newcomb protested. "I don't
even have a Wisconsin license."
"License be damned!" roared Dr.
Torpy. "No trained physician has any

Kate's husband, Bill, drove her as
as he could make it in their old
car. Then they hiked on snowshoes
three miles through the deep-packed
snow. Kate treated the woman while

Dr. Kate, as she has come to be

had always wanted to be a physician.

into the background, along with the
rest of her city memories.
"Then, after old Dr. Torpy's tirade,"
she says, "I came to. I didn't have
to build up a practice. My neighbors
were so short on doctoring I was hip
deep in cases before the ink on my
new license was dry."
Summers, when the lake region

crowded up with campers and fishermen, her phone was constantly ajangle with emergency calls. In
winter she never drove her car without a shovel and snowshoes on the
back seat. She set up offices in the
village halls and schoolhouses of half
a dozen hamlets —Manitowish Waters,
Winchester, Winegar, Spider Lake
and Boulder Junction—and rode a circuit to see those who could get into
town. The rest of the time, driving
more than 100 miles a day, she made
her way up the back roads where
snowplows never went, treating Indians, lumberjacks and trappers and
their families.
If Dr. Kate said she'd be there,
people came to know they could count
on her. But once she didn't turn up,
and word flew over the telephone lines
that Dr. Kate must be in trouble. Her
neighbor, Sam Williams, went winding down White Sand Lake Road,
hunting for her. He found her car in
a snowbank, its engine still running.
Kate, realizing that the engine fumes
were overcoming her, had mustered
enough strength to get out. Then,
dazed, she had fallen into a snowdrift.
Sam almost missed her, half covered
as she was by snow. Dr. Kate was

the patient.
Later, when her son. Tommy, was
ready for high school. Dr. Kate
bought an old house in Woodruff, 25
miles from Boulder Junction. There
she received office calls while Tommy
pursued his studies.
One day in the summer of 1949 Dr.
Newcomb was called out to a resort
camp where the wife of Art Rubloff,
a wealthy Chicagoan, had been taken
ill. Rubloff was shocked when he discovered that Dr. Kate, now turning
63, still had to take her patients so
far for hospitalization. When his wife
had recovered, Rubloff called together
some of the townspeople in Woodruff.
"It's time we brought a hospital to
Dr. Kate," he told them. And he
backed up his suggestion with a check
for $100.
TheLions Club adopted the hospital
as its community-service project. An
architect was asked to draw up the
sketch for a ten-bed building. One
man handed over the deed to a beautiful lakeside site at Woodruff. Outlying hamlets staged benefits and
square dances. By the end of the
summer $4,900 had been raised. It
seemed a lot of money, but at that
rate a decade or more would pass before they could begin construction.
Two years ago they decided to
break ground anyway. Volunteers
supplied concrete and cinder blocks,
mortar and timbers. But all that
summer's round of pie-baking contests and dances still didn't raise
enough money to keep ahead of rising
construction costs. By the time the
first snows fell in November the Lakeland Memorial Hospital stood as an
ugly, half-finished shell.
Two blocks away, at the Arbor
Vitae-Woodruff High School, mathematics teacher Otto Burich was trying to give his class an idea of how
big a really big number could be. The
youngsters were intrigued by the idea
of how-much-is-a-million. One boy
said it might be fun to make a pile
of a million pine cones. Then one of
the girls raised her hand. "How big
a pile would a million pennies make?"
she demanded.
The students roared with laughter
and a voice from the rear shouted,
"After we got the million pennies
what would we do with 'em?"

�Most of the pupils had a ready
answer for that one. Let's collect a
million pennies, they decided, and turn
them over to Dr. Kate!
Three months later the 130 pupils
were more than halfway toward their
goal and roaring down the homestretch at a rate of 7000 pennies a
day. By Memorial Day, 1,200,000 coppers—four and a half tons of them-—
were piled on the gymnasium floor,
the contributions of 59,000 people
from 48 states and 23 foreign countries.
That May 30 the village staged a
celebration and 20,000 persons came
from all over the country to watch
the largest parade Woodruff had ever
seen. Led by majorettes stepping
high, the throng followed the band
through the gym and added more
coins by the thousand. Construction
work, with plans expanded to 18 beds,
a fully equipped operating room and
even oxygen piped to every bedside,
got under way again. The hospital
was to open in the spring, but still it
would be without operating funds and
saddled by a $32,000 mortgage.
Last winter, in Hollywood, Ralph
Edwards—who runs the TV show This
Is Your Life—heard about Dr. Kate
and the Million Penny Parade. An
investigator sent to Wisconsin to
check on the project came back bubbling with enthusiasm. Dr. Kate's relatives and childhood friends were
sought out. The Los Angeles County
Medical Society was drawn into the
plot. Dr. Kate was invited to attend
a medical conference planned for midMarch to honor Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin.
In Los Angeles Dr. Kate was placed
in the charge of hospital official Don
Boehme. His job was to keep her
from reaching Mrs. Donna Hall, an
old Buffalo friend who was to appear
—as one of a score of surprise witnesses—on the TV program. Boehme
traipsed Kate Newcomb through every
new hospital from Long Beach to
Pasadena. At the end of the second
day Boehme drove his weary charge
to the NBC studios. "I can't let you
leave Los Angeles without seeing a
live telecast," he told her. Then he
rushed the bewildered doctor to the
seat that had been reserved for her,
just as the show went on the air.
A few minutes later, on 20 million
TV screens, all America watched the
utter astonishment of the quiet country physician as the gentle hoax unfolded.

ALUMNI CLUBS OFF TO EARLY SPRING START
The months of April and May once
again found the "old faithfuls" leading the way in area alumni club reunions. Binghamton's group started
the activities with a dinner-meeting
in the City Club where Windsor R.
Smith, MD'l5, continues as club
chairman and advisor. Speaker for
the meeting was Nicholas Kish,
Edß(Bus)'42, MBA'4B, assistant dean
of Millard Fillmore College.
The next evening found Mr. Kish
joining forces with James E. "Jim"
Peelle, University's director of athletics who was the featured guest of
the Elmira alumni club. Following
the well-attended dinner program,
members elected A. Joseph Leahy,
BS(Phar)'34, PhG'32, DDS'43, president with Earle G. Ridall, BA'3l,
MD'34, vice-president; Macey Kantz,
PhG'2o, treasurer; Louis B. Cooperman, BA'32, secretary; and Clyde L.
Nagle, BA'3B, MD'43, retiring president, representative to the General

brought about another two-night trip
with meetings on May 13th and 14th,
at which Dorothy M. Haas, BS(Bus)
'32, director of Norton Union, informed the members of student ac-

tivities on campus. Utica's club will
elect officers at the next meeting,
scheduled for September. President
Ferdinand D. Tomaino, LLB'3O, presided.
Russell L. Bow-

ersox, BS(ME)'49
was elected chairman of the Albany

club and
will be assisted

Alumni Board.
Probably the most remarkable meeting was held in Pittsburgh, Pa.,
where, although confined to a hospital
bed, Lucille Spitzer Goldring, A(ex)
'40, arranged a complete dinner-reunion which featured Dr. Olive P.
Lester, BS'24, MA'26, chairman of the
department of psychology, as speaker.
Kalman A. Goldring, LLB'39, acted as
toastmaster and Harry W. Woolhandler, MD'32, was elected chairman
for the coming year.
The Utica and Albany groups

by Marie Schuler,
BS'35, EdM'46,
co-chairman. Retiring president
Elmer J. Boehoouersox, bs(me)'49 mer, arrangements and program chairman, was
elected as representative to the General Alumni Board. Miss Haas was
the guest speaker for the dinner program conducted in the University
Club of Albany.
May 17th was the reunion and dinner date for west coast alumni of the
San Francisco area. Joseph M. Presant, MD'42, was chairman.
One of the largest meetings of area
groups was conducted by the Syracuse social work alumni on May 19th
in the University Club, Syracuse,
N. Y. Dean Niles Carpenter of University's School of Social Work attended as principal speaker.

Busy Dr. Kate had never heard of
Edwards' show, much less seen it.
As, one by one, the voices of old
friends and patients reached her ears
she remained in a daze. Edwards
closed the story of her life with the
suggestion that listeners add their
coins to the Million Penny Parade and
thus help lift the burden of debt from
Lakeland Memorial Hospital.
Three days later—on Open House
Day—thousands of Kate's Wisconsin
neighbors gathered at Woodruff. Five
miles down the road an escort of police cars was waiting. Their shrieking
sirens brought Dr. Kate—utterly flabbergasted for the second time—into
the heart of the crowd. She was led
to the high school gym, where some
200 volunteers were busily sorting out
contributions. Within two weeks almost $100,000 came in.
Tears were coursing down the 68-year-old physician's cheeks as she

tried to express her thanks. After
decades of frontier medicine, the
people of Wisconsin's lakeland were
about to be freed from dependence
on other folks' hospitals. For, call it
what they would, this was no hospital
for Dr. Kate alone. Already the north
woods' first surgeon, Dr. Oliver Pfeiffer, had joined the new hospital's staff.
Soon other doctors would come to
take up their share of the load.
Suddenly, in the midst of the ceremonies, someone tapped Dr. Kate's
shoulder and whispered that Sam Williams' daughter-in-law had started
labor. Kate Newcomb—with hundreds
of the 3000 babies she had already
delivered standing in the crowd before
her—had to leave the celebration.
She turned and, amid ringing cheers,
started the 26-mile drive to Tomahawk for delivery number three thousand and one.

ABOUT THE COVER

"Jealousy" could well be the theme song for any alumnus admiring
the sea of faces which formed like a tidal wave in front of Norton Union
on the morning of Monday, September 13th. Yes—it was their first day
of college and cold rain didn't dampen the enthusiasm as approximately
1600 neophytes swung into a week-long orientation program. By week's
end, they were really "old timers" at campus living, especially fond of one
of the nation's finest student centers Norton Hall.

For the 29th time in as manyyears,
alumni from the far corners of the
country and the Western New York
area will flock to Buffalo to observe
the traditional ceremonies and festivities of Alumni Homecoming on
Saturday, October 16th.
Representatives to the General
Alumni Board from the twenty-seven
area clubs and the Executive Committee of the Board will initiate the
activities at 10:30 A.M. when they

informal meeting, the representatives
will be the guests of Dr. Furnas at
luncheon which will be held in the

private dining rooms located in the

Hall.

comes the time for good old
fashioned reunion rcotin' at Civic
Stadium, where the football Bulls of
Then

Buffalo encounter the Leopards of
Lafayette, the kick-off scheduled for
2:15 P.M. A gala half-time show has
been arranged, featuring the alumni
officers, University officials and the
Air Force ROTC Band of the University. Numbered among the highlights

is the now-traditional doffing of
"Dinks" by the entire freshman class
as Burt G. Weber, LLB'I9, president
of the General Alumni Board welcomes the freshmen to potential
alumni participation.
This game should find the Bulls
"up", mentally and physically, for
this is the proverbial "big one" in the
football schedule. Unlucky in recent
homecomers. the herd is out to show
the alumni that beef and brawn ca~&gt;
be cut to size by determination and
clean, hard play.
Buffalo's Saturn Club located on
Delaware Avenue is to be the scene of
the annual General Alumni Board
Supper, planned as a buffet affair this
year. Alumni and their friends are
cordially invited to participate in this
post-game event which will be known
as the Fifth Quarter.
Who ever heard of six quarters to
a homecoming game? Just ask any
U. of B. Alumnus. That person will
promptly inform you that the Sixth
Quarter is best of all.

Virus Laboratory to
Study Vaccine Results
A grant of $50,956 has been made
to the University's Schoolof Medicine
by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis for the activation of
the School's virus laboratory.
The laboratory is one of three in
York State which have been
designated to study blood specimens
of a selected group of first, second,
and third graders who participated in
the field trials of the new Salk vaccine this Spring.
In addition to studying the blood of
an estimated 1500 injected children in
Erie, Cattaraugus, and Monroe counties, the laboratory will do special
studies of all first, second, and third
gTaders who contract polio. Of course,
laboratory personnel will not know
which children received the Salk vaccine, which received a "control" material, or which received no injection
at all.

A. M. A.'s PRESIDENT-ELECT TO
ADDRESS MEDICAL FUND DINNER

The president-elect of the American Medical Association, Dr. Elmer
Hess of Erie, Pa., will address the
first annual dinner of the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education Thursday, Oct. 21. The dinner
will be held at 7:30 o'clock in Norton
Hall on the University campus.
The Fund was organized in February with the goal of improving the
basic science departments of the University's Medical School.
To date 1004 physicians, including
222 non-graduates of the school,have
pledged a total of $90,592 to be given
annually for that purpose.
Officers Will Be Elected
Already the school has been able
to increase its incoming class from 70
to 80 students, to make nine promotions and appointments and to increase many salaries.

Each contributor becomes a member of the Fund, which will hold an

annual business meeting; in February
to elect officers. The Fund will not
seek to dictate school policy, but will
act in an advisory capacity.
Physicians contributed more than
$2,000,000 of the $4,500,000 that went
into building the new Medical-Dental
School building, Samuel P. Capen
Hall. The Fund is making it possible
for them bo utilize the facilities more
fully than otherwise would have been
possible.

Active in Medical Societies
Dr. Clifford C. Furnas, the new
chancellor of the University, and Dr.
Stockton Kimball, dean of the Medical School, also will speak at the
October dinner.
Dr. Hess, the principal speaker, has
been president of both the Erie
County (Pa.) Medical Society and the
Pennsylvania State Medical Society,
and has headed the American Urological Society.

�Auit HSorn, KJttt sArireadu (I3ia:
By StocktonKimball, MD29
Dean,School of Medicine

In the nine months since the introduction of the program the Annual
Participating Fund for Medical Education has made a strong start
toward its two objectives: (1) Increased private support of private
medical education; (2) Development
of partnership and increased mutual
understanding between the medical
school, the practicing medical profession and the general public.
In these nine months over $90,000
has been pledged on an annual basis
by nearly 1000 physicians. This represents 80 f/£ of the physicians in
Erie County, including 20f/r who are
not TLB. alumni, plus a good response
from the physicians in surrounding
counties and the few more distant
alumni who have been approached.
Reserve Set Up

25% of the money pledged is being

used to commence a permanent endowment fund for the medical school,
the interest of which will be utilized

for medical purposes including that
of serving as a stabilization fund for
any variation in annual income from
the Participating Fund.
The remainder is to be used annually for increasing the support of
teaching in the medical school. The
greatest need is in the basic science
departments which, with the new
building, now have room to expand to
a size appropriate to their programs.
To date $50,000 has been added to
the current budgetof the basic science
departments, entirely for salaries.
This has been used to add new faculty
members in order to permit the expansion of the entering medical
classes which this year have been
increased from 70 to 80 students.
It has been used also to bring about
a number of much needed salary increases. At Buffalo the salary scales
are lower than in many competing
making it more
medical schools

THE MEDICAL FUND

Through the use of the Fund for
faculty salary increases we have been
able to make strong appointments
for two Professorships.

Dr. Douglas S. Riggs,

M.D.

of Bacteriology at the University of
Tennessee and has done research in
the metabolism of bacteria and
studies of body protein in relation to
immunity reactions in infection.
An

Appointments Possible
(Yale

University) has been appointed Professor and Head of the Department
of Pharmacology to fill the position
left vacant by the death of Dr. Roger
Hubbard. Dr. Riggs was Assistant
Professor of Pharmacology at the
Harvard Medical School, a highly
popular teacher and well qualified
investigator, especially in the field
of thyroiddrugs. He has participated
actively in the teaching of Pharmacology to sophomores, in the
Therapeutic Conferences for seniors
at the hospital and in the new experimental program for graduate stu-

Harvard Medical School.
He began his duties in Buffalo in
dents at the

September.
Grant L. Rasmussen, Ph.D. (University of Minnesota) in charge of
teaching and research in Neuro Anatomy, has been promoted from Associate Professor to Professor of Anatomy. To accept this position he
declined two competing offers for
prominent research, positions in U.S.
governmental institutions in Washington, D.C. Without the aid of the
Participating Fund we should not

been able to hold Dr. Rasmunssen. He has shown a real capacity
have

for interesting a number of students
in special study and investigation in
the field of Neuro Anatomy and in
developing an interrelated teaching
program in Neural Anatomy, Neuro
Physiology and Neurology.

An additional Assistant Professor,
Harold Brody, Ph.D. (University of
Minnestota) has been added to the
Department of Anatomy. He was
former Assistant Professor of Anatomy at the University of North
Dakota and is interested in research
studies on age changes in the human
cerebral cortex.
An Assistant Professor of Bacteriology, Dr. Robert J. Kieber, Ph.D.
(University of Tennessee), with an
unusual background in chemical engineering as well as in Bacteriology
has been appointed as of September.
He was formerly Assistant Professor

additional Assistant Professor

Pathology, Dr. George Rozsa, M.D.
(Hungary) has been appointed to introduce a program in experimental
histo-chemistry and elective microscopy in the Pathology Department.
Prior to this appointment he was
Assistant Professor of Pathology at
the University of Virginia, then Research Pathologist at the Roswell
of

Park Memorial Institute.
With only three men in the Department, Biochemistry has been shorthanded. Dr. John V. Fopeano who has
just received his Ph.D. degree from
the University of Michigan has been
appointed Instructor in Biochemistry
and will begin his duties October
15th. He is well qualified and experienced in teaching and has been
active in research in the metabolism
of the liver.
Miss Irene Oyen has been added
as a full-time Instructor in Physiology. She has been working- as a
graduate student in the Department
on a grant from the U.S.P.H.S. and
had shown herself so able in research
and teaching that she received an
offer to become a member of the
Physiology Department in another
medical school. Her preference was
to remain here but without the added
funds from the Participating Fund,
this would not have been possible.
Meeting on October 21
Members of the medical profession
who have shown their keen interest

in the strengthening of private medical education and thereby of private
medical practice through becoming
members in the Annual Participating
Fund for Medical Education, are
urged to attend the First Annual
Report dinner meeting of the Fund
October 21st. Here the Chancellor
and the Dean will report further on
the importance to the University of
this Fund and of the backing and interest of members of the medical profession; and Dr. Elmer Hess, President-Elect of the A.M.A., will discuss the significance of this Fund to
American medicine.

Music Courses Now
In Their Second Year

Concentrated music courses began
their second year at the University
with the opening of the fall term,
being offered through day courses in
the College of Arts &amp; Sciences and
through evening courses in Millard
Fillmore College. These lead to a
bachelor of arts degree. In addition
there are several courses and individual instruction in practical music
being provided to apply towards
graduate credit.
A program for potential teachers
of music will be inaugurated in 1955-56 and will be included in the offerings of the School of Education.

Nurses Meet For

Curriculum Parley
Nursing educators from all sections
of the country will meet at the University on October 10th for an allday discussion of the master's degree
curriculum in public nursing. Associate Professor Lydia Reitz of the
department of public health nursing
in the University's School of Nursing
will be chairman of the meeting to
be held in Norton Hall.

Slee Bequest Is
For Musical Purposes

The will of Frederick C. Slee, Buffalo attorney, musician, and yachtsman, naming the University as the
ultimate beneficiary of his estate and
providing that the income be used
chiefly for musical purposes, was probated this summer in the Erie County
Surrogate's Court.
Mr. Slee's will gives life use of his
estate, said to be a substantial one, to
his widow. Thereafter, the net income
of the bequest is to be used by the
University in these ways:
I—Hiring1—Hiring a musician equal to the
rank of Paris conservatorie and master teacher of harmony, counterpoint
and fugue.
2—Furnishing by the school of five
public concerts annually, the admission price to be fixed by the university. String quartets of national and
international renown are to be featured, with other combinations to be
used sparingly in their stead. Works
of Beethoven. Haydn and Mozart are
to be used.
3—Accumulated unexpended income is to be utilized every three
years for teaching purposes in history, philosophy and economics. The
will specifies no money is to be spent
from the fund on buildings, teaching
of instruments or voice.
4—Additional quartet concerts of
Beethoven's works are to be played
either in June or the fall by "artists
of outstanding excellence, with no
more than one concert daily."
"The hall shall be acoustically the
best available, skilfully lighted and
seating not more than 700." the will
reads.

Two Students Confound

Two 20-year old University students

They have succeeded in—hang on

And, to further confound the practicemakes-perfect school, the lyricist up

remotely resembling a lyric
not
even a couplet for his girl on ValenDay.

�Classics Professor Schauroth Dies Suddenly
by Prof. John X. Hortoa
On the third of August last at his
summer home near Mohawk Point,
Edward Grotrian Schauroth, Chairman of the Department of Classics
and Andrew V. V. Raymond Professor of Classics, died of a coronary
thrombosis. Survived by his wife,
Alice Nott Schauroth, by his daughter,
Mrs. Hollis Ritchie Upson of Batavia
and by two grandchildren, Professor
Schauroth was the last of his immediate male line of the family Schauroth which is an armigerous one, entitled to the prefix yon and ramifying
through the yon Arnim and other families of the ancient Prussian squirearchy. On the maternal side he was
descended from a landowning family
seated in Brunswick not very far from
the old cultural capital of Wolfenhe alluded humorously to Theodore
buettel. He was himself born in Buffalo, January 12, 1888,the son of the
late Udo Schauroth and Emma Grotrian, his wife.
From his parents Edward Schauroth inherited a respect for learning
which was confirmed and given direction when as a student at Lafayette
High School he came under the spell
of Philip Becker Goetz. To Goetz's
alma mater he repaired in due course;
hence it was that in the famous class
of 1910 he was graduated from Harvard College, A.8., summa cum laude.
On the occasion of the commencement
he delivered a Latin oration in which
he alluded humorously to Theodore
Roosevelt's recent hunt of the big
game in Africa; and he succeeded in
drawing first an appreciative chuckle,
then gusty laughter from the great
Theodore himself who sat near by on
the stage. The next year Schauroth
published in the Harvard Studies a
learned article on "The Hypozomator
of Greek Ships".
By that time he had already entered the academic profession as an
instructor at Worcester Academy
whence after two years he went to be
the head of the Department of Foreign
Languages at the Friends' Central
School in Philadelphia. From that
city he returned to his native one in
1923 to join the Department of Classics in the University of Buffalo the
Chairman of which at the time was
Philip Becker Goetz, his mentor of
High School days and his beloved
friend. At the University of Buffalo

Germany lent a sombre cast to the

course

Edward G. Schauroth
1888 1954

-

remained for the rest of his life.
He succeeded Goetz as the Chairman
of the Department and he upheld
and carried on the Goetz tradition
of humane learning and inspired
teaching, reinforced with an erudition
drawn from study and travel abroad.
Professor Schauroth visited Italy,
Crete and Egypt. He roamed Greece.
There by happy chance he encountered the noted scholar, Hiller yon
Gaertringen, whose congenial and
learned companionship made on his
mind an impression never-to-be-forgotten. In 1929 he studied for a summer at Goettingen. He came away
thence with mixed feelings about republican Germany. On the eve of the
first World War he had visited imperial Germany then at the zenith of
her splendor; and he had done so by
no means as an alien to the inner
circles of her culture and her power.
He and his bride had been hospitably
entertained by his own yon Arnim
relations on their Prussian estate. He
had himself been at once instructed
and delighted with the lectures of Ulrich yon Wilamowitz-Moellendorff at
the University of Berlin; and these together with his later conversations
he

with Hiller yon Gaertringen enriched

both his scholarship and his personality and gave him gracious and august memories that endured to his
dying day.

His association with families and
scholars in the tradition of the older

of his reflections on the Germany of subsequent times and beyond doubt deepened his understanding of classic tragedy and of that Vergilian pathos of which he wrote so
movingly in his book on Vergil and
his View of Life. Those who knew
him feel almost instinctively that
when in that book he deals with the
episode of ./Eneas' contemplation of
the sculptured scenes of the Trojan
War, he is thinking as well of a modern as of an ancient overthrow. Sooner
by many years than the citizens of
his native country, he had occasion
to reflect with a poignant personal
emotion on Vergil's "majestic sadness" over "the doubtful doom of
humankind". The transciency of temporal splendor was not to him a theological notion or a poetic fancy but
an actuality experienced. To him the
words were not mere literature but
the tragedy of life:
Venit summa dies et ineluctabile
tempos Dardaniae.
Fuimus Troes; fuit Ilium et ingens
gloria Teucrorum

...

Thoughchiefly an humanist, Professor Schauroth had a range of scholarship that went beyond the humanities. A man who would forget the
frustrations of the daily round in
grappling with mathematical problems, he combined literary and scientific learningto an unusual degree, as
may be seen in his essay on "Some
Ancient Solar Observations" and in a

paper on Hesiod which he was preparing for publication on the eve of his
death.

Inthe first of these, written in English, he demonstrated that as early as
the time of Eratosthenes "the ancients
could and did measure celestial angles
to an accuracy of a minute of arc
under favorable conditions; and that
under decidedly unfavorable conditions observations made by men like
Pytheas may convince the modern
world of the truth of the navigator's
claims to have been where he said he
was, whereas the same evidence was

branded false by his contemporaries."
In the second paper he studied the
movements of certain heavenlybodies
observed by Hesiod as practical guides
for the farmer's year and on the basis
of astronomical calculations explained
how those movements had shifted
through the centuries so that they no

7

�8

Dr. Schauroth (Cont'd.)
longer could afford the farmer the
practical help which they had done
in

Hesiod's

time. Written in

a lucid,

swift-paced Latin, copiously citing
Hesiod in the original Greek and involving methematical astronomy as
the core of the argument, the paper
is the work of no mere specialist but
of a polymath rare indeed in this age
of specialization.
This versatility, a versatility that
made him conversant with Goethe and

old Gothic, with chemistry and Platonic philosophy, with Aristotelian
canons of criticism and with both the
theory and practice of navigation,
was reflected in his teaching which in
turn reflected something more vital
than diverse intellectual acquisitions.
It reflected a man of a many-faceted
temperament. Thus, when he expoundedHerodotus, a student had the
feeling that in the Great King and his
mighty host, the West was already at
grips with the Soviet power though
no word about current events may
ever have been uttered.
When he taught Plai.tus and Terence, one somehow by some sort of
subtle alchemy had the illusion that
both teacher and taught were treading the boards with comic exhilaration. If the course was Latin prose,
one neglected grammar and syntax
to his peril. The course however was
no exercise in pedantry but rather a
study of the nature and genius of two
great instruments of human expression, the English language as well as
the Latin; and though the niceties of
Latin phrasing might in the course of
time fade out of remembrance, the
idea of good prose, whether Latin or
English, would still remain, a prose
that would be precise without being
precious, elegant and at the same time
vigorous and masculine. If poetry
was the subject, the student could expect to hear Milton as well as Vergil
and Homer. Milton's use of Homeric
similes was one of Professor Schauroth's favorite themes. When he dwelt
upon it, with Paradise Lost his illustration, the cadenced reading filled the
room with a sonorous and stately
music.
This same versatility expressed itself off the academic scene as well as
on it, in the handling of tools, in the
buildingof a boat, in the design and
building of a house; in the entertainment of young children; in the generous hospitality which Professor and
Mrs. Schauroth whether in town or

�Dr. Pratt Disputes "Final Secret Of Pearl Harbor"
the following letter originally written to The Buffalo
Evening News, Dr. Julius W.
Pratt of the University takes
issue with the contention of
Rear Admiral Robert A. Theobald, USN, retired, that the late
President Roosevelt enticed the
Japanese into attacking the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor by
withholding essential information from the military commanders there.
Dr. Pratt is the Distinguished
Samuel P. Capen professor of
American History and Dean
Emeritus of the Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences at
the University. Admiral Theobald's contention is contained
in his recently-published book,
"The Final Secret of Pearl
Harbor."
In

Lance Zavitz's review in your June
2 issue of Rear Admiral Theobald's
book, "The Final Secret of Pearl Harbor," gives an excellent summary of
the thesis of the book but is entirely
uncritical in failing to point out
weaknesses in the thesis and alternative explanations of the tragic events
of Dec. 7, 1941.
Admiral Theobald's thesis, readers
of the book or the review will recall,
is that President Roosevelt, in order
to get the United States into the war
against Germany, with public opinion
united in support of the war, enticed
the Japanese into attacking the
Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor.
To insure that the attack would be
made and that Japan would thus fire
the first shot, he ordered Gen. Marshall, Army chief-of-staff, and Admiral Stark, chief of naval operations,
to withhold from the commanders at
Pearl Harbor vital information that
would have alerted them to the attack that Roosevelt knew to be imminent.
Produces No New Evidence
So Japan attacked, destroying- two
U. S. battleships and immoblizingsix
others, knocking out the Army Air
Force, and taking more than 3000
American lives. Germany and Italy
followed their ally in declaring war,
and so the United States entered the
European war by "the back door."
This thesis is not new. It has already been stated in more or less detail in at least five or six books by
writers of the violently anti-Roosevelt
school. Nor does Admiral Theobald
produce any new evidence for the
thesis. His conclusions rest entirely
upon deductions from well-known
facts, which are certainly susceptible
of different interpretations.
The great amount of attention
which the book has commanded seems

attributable to (1) its advance publication in a weekly magazine of wide
(2) its sensational title,
circulation,
(3) its concentration on a single
issue, (4) the fact that it is sponsored by Admiral Husband E. Kimmel (an interested party) and, with
reservations, by Admiral William F.
Halsey.

Some Good Questions Raised
One pertinent fact that Mr. Zavitz
fails to mention in his review is that
Gen. Marshall and Admiral Stark, answering direct questions from the
New York Times after the first publication of Theobald's argument, denied categorically, first, that they had
ever received from President Roosevelt orders of the kind that Theobald
assumes; and, second, that they ever
knew of any plan to entice the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor. (New
York Times, April 18, 1954.) These
denials from Marshall and Stark, for
whom Theobald expresses high regard are not to be lightly brushed
off.
Without becoming involved in the
intricacies of a very complex subject,
I should like to indicate a few other
reasons for regarding the Theobald
thesis with a high degree of skepticism.
In a review of Theobald's book in
The Reporter (June 8, 1954), Mr.
Louis Morton raises some very good
questions.
To believe in this long-range plot of
Mr. Roosevelt, it is necessary to suppose that he knew long in advance
that the Japanese would, if sufficiently tempted, attack Pearl Harbor, and
that, if Japan attacked the United
States, Germany would do likewise.
Yet the Japanese Governmnt did not
approve the Pearl Harbor attack until
October 1941, long after Roosevelt's
plan is supposed to have been laid;
and not until Dec. 5, 1941, on the very
eve of Pearl Harbor, did Japan get
positive assurances that Germany
would join her against the United
States.
For the Axis pact of Sept. 27, 1940,
was a defensive treaty which bound
each of the parties to come to the
other's aid only if the latter were the
victim of attack. Was F.D.R. gifted
with prophetic foresight that enabled
him to predict the actions of the Japanese and German Governments long
before they were known to the actors
themselves ?
Negligence All Way Down
Readers of the book will find that
the conclusions rest very largely on
the following reasoning: Gen. Marshall and Admiral Stark were good
officers with excellent records. Yet
they were unbelievably negligent in
failing to transmit to Pearl Harbor
last-minute warnings that war was
about to begin and certain facts
which, with the benefit of hindsight,

Dr. Pratt

we can see pointed to an attack on
Pearl Harbor. Stark did send to Admiral Kimmel art: Pearl Harbor on
Nov. 27 a message which he labeled
a "war warning." Marshall at the
same time apprised Gen. Short, Kimmel's Army colleague, that war with
Japan was imminent.
Neither Marshall nor Stark, in the
present writer's humble opinion, followed up those warnings as persistently as should have been done, nor
kept a close enough eye upon the
precautions taken or omitted by Short
and Kimmel. In fact, ever since the
details were first brought to public
attention, this writer has maintained
that there was blameworthy negligenceall the way down the line from
President Roosevelt to some junior
officers at Pearl Harbor.
Moves Not Bluffs
But negligence is one thing, conspiracy another. A reason for the negligence, though not an excuse for it,
is found in the ostentatious preparations that Japan was making in a
quarter far removed from Pearl Har-

bor.
A great troop convoy was steaming
down the coast of Indo-China; its destination might be British Malaya or
the Netherlands Indies. Big troop concentrations had been observed on Formosa, apparently aimed at the
Phillippines.

These were not bluffs, they were
in deadly earnest. But they
also had the effect (and this was
probably intended) of diverting attention in Washington from the situation at Pearl Harbor. Apparently it
occurred to no one in authority that
the Japanese might hit simultaneously at widely-separated targets. At
least this seems quite as tenable a
hypothesis as Admiral Theobald's.

"FOUR LEAF CLOVER" BACKFIELD"SHANNON GREEN" LINE FOR 54

Cage Coach &amp; Players
Meet In Naval Uniform

Oh yes, we almost forgot to mention that there are at least two men
backing up each of the backfield vets.
They include quarterback Ed McQuown, just returned from four years
of navy duty. Then we can count on
halfbacks Charlie Daniels, All-High
sensation from Buffalo's Hutchinson
High School; Carmen Scarpino. vestpocket speedster from East Rochester; Paul Snyder, a never-say-die
plunger from Mansfield, Pa.; and Lil'
Gil Savitzky, senior from New York
City.

Capt. Kiefer

Ol' number 73 will sport the "C"
for captain this year as big Ernie
Kiefer, Business Administration senior, leads the Bulls of Buffalo into
the 1954 gridiron wars. Standing 6-0"
and tipping the scales at 225, the likable left tackle isn't wasting time to
moan over the loss of the six stars
of last season's eleven. He's throwing the book at the lads when it
comes to calisthenics and conditioning.

Head CoachFritz Febel, now in his
eighteenth year at Buffalo and his

..

third as head coach has this to say.
"We may not be the biggest squad
of Bulls
but we'll be the best conditioned. We're gonna win some ball
games."

It's a "clover-leaf

backfield"

for

sure, starting with veteran quarterback Ray Kennedy, a senior with
three years of signals to draw from.
Then there is speed to burn in the
halfbacks, Pete Rao and Bill Crow-

ley, both returning lettermen. Probably the biggest gap was left when
gigantic Elmer Jahn vacated the fullback spot to become an alumnus.
Elmer's 220 pounds will be more
than capably replaced by the comparatively small 170 poundBill Kindel,
a locomotive junior who averaged
ten yards per carry last season in
the Alfred game and had a season
average of six plus.

Line Is Green
Maybe shamrock green is stretching things a little in describing the
line. Starting at center, we find veteran Norb "Curly" Jezewski, a junior who capably understudied Ron
"Rock" Laßocque who graduated last
June and is now head coach of the
freshman crew. Fighting for the

starting center spot is Dave Nelson
Hutchinson High.

from

Guard duties will no doubt go to
letterman Paul Waldmiller, a junior,
and Fran Mormul, a senior. If it's
intestinal fortitude that is needed at
guard, look to little Norm "Peas and
Carrots" Pyzikiewicz who won AllHigh honors at Seneca Vocational
High School. He's as sturdy as they
come and is backed up by sophomores Chuck Krawczyk and Keith
Lasher. Senior guard material includes Bernie Clement.
Moving out to the tackles, it is a
sure bet that first-string chores go to
Captain Ernie Kiefer, Bob Steffenhagen at 246 pounds, John Lageman
at 218 pounds, these mammoths
being tailed by sophomore Ed Gibeau
at 215 pounds.
The graduation of Charley O'Brien
left a pass-snatching dent in the end
zone and only the actual competition
will prove the flanking abilities of
sophomores Roger Dayer, John Lipinski and Dick Martin.

Two radical shifts were effected
during Fall workouts. They found

"Bumper" Movesian who has mastered every backfield position is now
appearing in the guard slot where he

the loss of sensational Tom Radich.
Now, perhaps, you can detect a
slight smile when we say green line.

Look to the Bulls to run, run, and

Mix well with a few formations the
opposition hasn't seen before and you

Dr. Pratt Disputes
Pearl Harbor "Secret"
(Continued from Page 7)

In fact, Theobald's main line of
reasoning1 can easily be turned
against him. He assures us that Admiral Kimmel and Gen. Short were,
like Marshall and Stark, fine officers
with excellent records. Yet Kimmel
and Short were, by any fair standard,
guilty themselves of amazing negligence. Ten days after receipt of the
"war warning," certainly knowing
Japan's reputation for hitting first
and declaring war afterwards, they
had done nothing to disturb the normal, peace-time, week-end atmosphere at Pearl Harbor and its environs. No special patrols were sent
out; the radar installation was on a
part-time practice basis; Armyplanes
were parked so as to be useless except
as targets for the enemy; anti-aircraft ammunition was carefully
stored far from the guns to prevent

deterioration.
Kimmel and Short received more
than their share of the blame in the
early investigations. I mention their
shortcomings here only to ask if they,
as "good officers," could be so careless in Hawaii, why is it so difficult to
believe that "good officers" Marshall
and Stark could not be careless in
Washington .except upon orders from
the President? We have now, as was
said before, their categorical denial
that there were such orders.

Arguments Will Go On
We are faced, as Raymond Moley
pointed out in The News some weeks
ago, with two hypotheses, either of
which can be made to fit the known
facts. Each student of the subject will
select the hypothesis that seems to
him more credible. Some, goingalong
with Admiral Theobald, will believe
that Roosevelt, who loved the Navy,
deliberately invited the destruction by
surprise attack of the Pacific battleship fleet; that he did this in order to
get the United States into a war in
which a fleet of battleships would be
of great importance. Others will find
their credulity less strained by the
theory that Roosevelt, Marshall,
Stark, and others in Washington, with
their attention drawn to obvious aggressive moves by Japan in the Far
East, allowed themselves to minimize
unduly the chances of a simultaneous
attack on Pearl Harbor.
It seems certain that the argument
between exponents of these two
schools of thought is destined to go on
for many years and that until some
"secret" more "final" than Admiral
Theobald's is brought to light, the
truth about the preliminaries of Pearl
Harbor will not be established beyond
controversy.

The Case Of
The Missing Cornerstone
Razing of the old Medical and Dental School buildings in High and
Goodrich Streets began this summer
to make way for a $500,000 hotel.
The new hotel will be a 72-unit twostory brick edifice to be known as the
Towne House. Airway Hotel, Inc.,
buyers of the site, has announced
that their new building will be "a
hotel with motel features" and will
front on High Street.
An element of mystery has been

injected into the razing—a "case of
the missing cornerstone."
The new owners have been asked
by University officials to deliver the
contents of a copper box supposed to
have been concealed in the cornerstone when it was placed in 1892 in
the

lobby of the old Dental building.

As the Bulletin goes to press, however, workmen report they have so
far been unable to locate it.
Wonder what's in it?
So do we.

BroadeningtheBase
Executives and trustees of universities, schools, hospitals, and other service

organizations are agreed that in the future the strength of the financial structure
of their institutions will depend in large
In the past, a few very

measure on

small bequests.

wealthy philanthropists have made generous gifts

and bequests to institutions. It is hoped they will continue to do so, but it is
certain that income tax and inheritance taxes will shrink the size of those gifts

and bequests.

Broadening the base

of

support is necessary. Large numbers of gifts and

bequests will insure the continuance and even the extension of the firm support

that institutions need.

Broadening the base of support is desirable. Thousands of people giving
are

thousands of people interested. An institution's influence and importance

grow with the number of people who contribute to its maintenanceand advancement.

The

University of Buffalo naturally hopes

to attract

large bequests; but

small legacies from a greater number of people of limited means are both desir-

able and indispensable.

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

ABOUT THE COVER

It's nigh on to Teddy-bear time for the younger set and the coming of
old Santa is bringing students by the thousands to the new, modern bookstore in the basement of Norton Union. Featuring every necessity in the
daily life of the dormitory student, the store also specializes in gifts for the
alumnus and his family. Why not make it a point to stop in when next on
campus? You'll find it an excellent place to recapture the spirit of undergraduate days while seeking gifts for those special occasions.

leadership.

As chairman of the National Citizens Commission for the Public
Schools, Mr. Larsen has devoted much
of his valuable time to speaking to
national and international groups in
the cause of stimulating citizen support of public education.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, he
attended public elementary school in
Dorchester, the Boston Public Latin
School, and was graduated from Harvard University in 1921. He served in
World War I as a second lieutenant
in the infantry. After leaving college
he was associated with the New York
Trust Company for a year, leaving to
become circulation manager of the
still-to-be-published TIME.
Mr. Larsen served as president of
the Harvard Alumni Association in
1950-1951, and is presently serving his
second term as Overseer of the University. He is also a director of the
Fund for the Advancement of Education of the Ford Foundation.
In his career with TIME, INC., he
has been associated with the publication of all the company's subsequent
magazines including Life, Fortune,
Architectural Forum and House and
Home. Mr. Larsen played a leading
role in the development of the March
of Time radio and film programs.
Mr. Larsen, the recipient of seven
honorary degrees and nine national
and international awards, has received the honorary Doctor of Laws

Universities for "devoting his energies
to supporting and improving the public schools of America".

Chancellor Honored
At Reception
The new Chancellor of the

Univer-

sity was introduced to nearly 400
community business leaders at a reception recently given by Seymour H.
Knox, Chairman of the University
Council. They were captivated by the
informal comments of the Chancellor
concerning his first weeks in office.
"Judging from the questions I have
been asked so far," he told the group,
"the most important issue facing the
University at the present time seems
to be whether or not we are going to
have a good football team. May I
reply with a quotation from a bellhop
who took me to my room in a Washington club this summer? The room
was stuffy, and I asked the boy how
to turn on the air-conditioning unit

window."
"Well," he answered, "that poses a
problem to which I unfortunately do
not have the answer".
At the beginning of Freshman
Orientation Week, in the traditional
address of welcome, Dr. Furnas asserted, "When you get through with
Orientation Week you'll know what
education is all about, so you're going
to be able to start with quite an advantage over the faculty."
An easy relaxed manner, sense of
humor, warmth and unflagging interest in everything and everyone about
him, on the part of the Chancellor, is
winning manyfriends for himself and
the University.

A Long-Range Plan for The University of Buffalo
By DR.

What kind of institution should the
University of Buffalo try to be?
Upon becoming Chancellor of the
University this year, many problems
were brought to myattention, but this
seemed to be the underlying issue.
Should the University be allowed just
to grow like Topsy, or should there be
an over-all, long-range MasterPlan to
form a framework for day-to-day
decisions.
I am not, I must confess, a believer
in laying out exact courses for the distant future, but an over-all plan could
help us to keep advancing in the
right quadrant. One of my first decisions as Chancellor was to ask five
Council members to form an Ad Hoc
Committee to help me in drawing up
a Master Plan. They are: Mr. Seymour H. Knox, chairman of the Council; Mr. Alex F. Osborn, vice-chairman; Mr. George F. Goodyear, Mr.
Francis A. Smith; Mr. Charles H.
Diefendorf and Mr. R. Lindley Murray. They will join with the Council
and the faculty of the University to
make the big decisions that necessarily lie at the heart of long-range planning.

It is of course much too early to try
to guess what sort of Master Plan this
committee will make, but here is an
outline of some of the questions it is
considering.

Teaching Objectives
First of all, there is

the fundamental
matter of teaching objectives. How
many students should the University
of Buffalo try to accommodate? Dr.
Richard M. Drake, director of the
University's Office of Institutional Research, estimates that by 1970, the
number of students icanting to go to
college in Western New York will be
almost doubled! Because of the rise
in the birth rate during and after
World War 11, there will be about an
80*% increase in the number of college-age students in Western New
York in the next fifteen years, and if
the economy continues to prosper, it
is likely that an increasingly large
percentage of high school graduates

to college. The prepresent number
of college students in fifteen years
sounds unbelievable, but it is based on
concrete facts. The college students
of 1970 have already been born, and
can be counted.
We are faced, then, with the staggering question of whether the University of Buffalo should try to double
its facilities before 1970. If we do, the
job will be tremendous. If we don't,
we will face the danger of creating an
educational vacuum in Western New
York which the State would almost
certainly feel obligated to fill.
This problem is only the beginning.
How much should we concentrate on
undergraduate education, graduate
and professional education? What
parts of the University should be expanded the most ? And how should
the scope of the subjects taught be
limited ? Should we teach any subjects
for which there is a demand, or should
we select relatively few?
will want

twice the

are already overcrowded. If the student body is to be increased at all,
new classrooms, laboratories and all
attendant facilities will have to be
built.

Research
Another basic question involves research. How much research should the
University undertake ? What kind ?
Should we concentrate on research
for local industries, on research for
the federal government? Should we
confine ourselves to fundamental research or should we undertake a substantial amount of applied research ?
If we're going to do all these things,
how should we divide our energies
and resources?
Naturally, there are no easy answers to all these problems and the
decision of what we should do leads
directly to the one-word question:
how ? What will be the human, physical and financial requirements for
carrying out the duties of the University, once they have been defined?
How many new faculty members will
have to be found? What salaries will
have to be provided in order to get
people of the proper caliber? And
how many new buildings will have to
be constructed to house the University of Buffalo as it will be fifteen

from

Present

buildings

Financial Plans
The Master Plan will not stop with
a definition of proper duties for the
University, and a description of human and physical facilities needed for
undertaking them. Necessary changes

will have to be translated into dollars
and cents. Dr. Talman W. Van Arsdale, Jr., has already been named
Director of Development to help the
Committee make a thorough study of
the University's sources of support.
At present, the University gets almost
ninety per cent of its operational income from student fees. Among its
additional sources of support are its
endowment income, gifts, (both restricted and unrestricted in purpose),
research and service contracts, grants
and other subsidies from government,
industry, foundations, individuals and
associations. The Master Plan will try
to envision the part each kind of support should play in the future. All
methods of going after the necessary
support will be studied, and the most
suitable ones selected.
Although the Master Plan will be
both a declaration of intent and a
study of ways and means, I personally think that the most important
part of it will be an expression of
basic convictions on what the University of Buffalo should be, regardless
of the difficulties involved in reaching
the goal. The Committee is trying to
decide what should be done, not what
is easy to do. A glance at the accomplishments of the past fifteen
years increases my confidence that the
people of the Niagara Frontier will
make it possible for the University to
do its job, whatever the cost in time,
effort and dollars. By defining and
clarifying that job, I hope the Master
Plan will help. My intention is for it
to guide our progress without hobbling it.

UNIVERSITY NEWS AND CAMPUS BRIEFS
Michael Hall,
New Dormitory,
Is Dedicated
On October 30th the University laid
the cornerstone for the fourth dormitory to be constructed in the past two
years. A $500,000 facility, it is scheduled for occupation February 1, 1955,
and will house 149 male students.
The new dormitory, Edward Michael
Hall, is named for the late Edward
Michael, former Council member of
the University and chairman of the
Building and Grounds Committee for
over thirty years. Attending the ceremony were Mr. Michael's three daughters, the Misses Clara, Edwina and
Jeanette.
Despite intermittent rain, about 100
persons gathered before the partiallycompleted structure to hear Dr. Clifford C. Furnas, Chancellorof the University, state that the new dormitory
gives "concrete evidence of the faith
of the financial circles of the Niagara
Frontier in the continuing and useful
function of the University of Buffalo."
The Chancellor noted with pride that
the building was entirely locally
financed, as are three other dormitories on the east side of a planned
quadrangle of residence halls.
Dr. Furnas paid high tribute to

Mr. Michael, who died last year at
the age of 101, for his vision and
work in planning the extension of
the University. He said that the
master plan for the campus, which
still largely stands, was worked out
by Mr. Michael and the late Chancellor Charles P. Norton.
The other dormitories, Dr. Furnas
pointed out, are named after Walter
P. Cooke, former chairman of the
council; Jacob F. Sohoelkopf, a former council member and benefactor;
and Lillias M. Macdonald, dean of
women until 1952. He said the dormitories will permit the school to attract out-of-town students thereby
enabling it to gain the influence of
students as well as faculty from many
regions.
He paid tribute also to Karr Parker,
present chairman of the Building and
Grounds Committee who, he said, "is
so nobly carrying the torch laid down
a few years ago by Mr. Michael." Mr.
Parker reported that in recent years
the University has erected buildings

valued

at ten

million dollars.

Pictured above at the ceremonies marking the dedication of Michael Hall, fourth
on the University campus, are Chancellor Clifford
C.
and the Misses Clara, Edwina and feanette Michael, daughters of the late
Edward Michael, after whom the new dormitory is named.

SCHOOL OF EDUCATION PLAYS HOST TO
VISITING EDUCATORS FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES
by

Mrs. Milton C. Albrecht

Administrative Assistant to the University
Planning Committee
On September 19 the faculty of the
School of Education and other members of the University staff welcomed
19 visiting educators from Japan, India, Ceylon, Egypt, Nigeria, Iran,
Italy, Netherlands, Germany, Finland,
Mexico and Brazil. These seven women and twelve men are in the United
States as part of the International
Teacher Education Program sponsored
by the Department of State and administered by the U. S. Office of Education. These foreign educators are
either administrators or teachers and
all of them are people who hold responsible positions in their own countries. They will be in the United
States for a six months' period, three
of which are to be spent on the University of Buffalo campus.
The program as outlined by the
U. S. Office of Education stresses
study and observation of the administration and organization of secondary
schools and particularly asks that the
educators be helped to a better understanding of American family and
community life.
To achieve the former objective, the
School of Education has set up a program under the leadership of a University planning committee composed
of Dr.L. O. Cummings, Chairman, Dr.
Adelle Ijand and Dean Robert S. Fisk.
Dr. Cummings is the co-ordinator for
the entire program. A general seminar and two special seminars meet
twice weekly. Educational classes and
classes in which the visiting educators
are especially interested, in the College of Arts and Sciences, are audited
as their schedules will allow. This
forms the academic backbone of the
program. In addition there are visits
to the local school systems where
work in the special fields is observed.
To supplement the work in education,
trips are planned for the groupto see
representative industries on the Niagara Frontier, some of the cultural institutions in the city and various offices of government. Such visits are
correlated with the work in the seminars so that the inter-relation of our
community and education is apparent.

To gain further knowledge of American family and community life, the
visiting educators are living in private homes near the University. Although they are paying guests many
of them take pleasure in helping with
the household chores and have become
valued members of the family; participating in drives, dinners and parties
to which the family goes. Most of
the visiting educators have spoken before various service clubs, to church
groups and in international study
groups. They have attended concerts,
plays, lectures, home movies showing
various parts of the United States,
and other forms of entertainment to
which they have frequently been invited.

Reciprocal Trade
To think that these visitors are
doing all the receiving is erroneous
because this is definitely reciprocal
trade in the finest sense. Daily, examples are coming to light which indicate that the people in our community are learning, tram their contact
with these visitors, about the modes,
customs, values and thinking in the
various countries from which these
educators come. Americans are led
to question their own actions, policies,
methods and ideas which leads to
healthy evaluation. As one school administrator said, "The questions these
people ask have made me re-examine
our own principles of education."
Those persons working most closely
with the program are constantly
aware of the value to them of having
to analyze and explain American ways
of doing things. Interpretation of the
press, radio, television and of the customs which are so different in many
instances help them to understand our
own culture better.
Tough Questions
slang and idiomatic expressions are difficult to understand
at first but the visiting educators are
making many of the expressions their
own. In one of the industrial plants
visited, the manager spoke of a member of the company who had "started
from scratch". Explain that easily.
American

What is a blind date ? Who lives in a
funeral home? Why do busses stop
at a railway crossing and open the

door are typical questions. Some of
the educators had never experienced
a snowfall. It was very exciting for
them and on a trip through central
New York State the industrial plants
and school visits took second place for
a while to the miracle of the falling
white stuff.
The educators are impressed with
the great interest people show in the
education of their children. They exclaim at the signs on busses warning
that "School is open, watch for children" ; they are surprised that so
much time and effort is

expended by

people without children in the interests of better education. They fear
that our large public schools are too
standardized, that education becomes
a mechanical process like our industrial plants.
American children working after
school and on weekends was another
source of wonder to them. Likewise
how hard people in this country generally work is a constant observation.
We have so much, they say, and never
seem to have time to enjoy what we
have. Perhaps it's a point well taken.
Of course our machines in the plants
are a source of great interest. They are
studied in detail and many pictures
taken whenever the opportunity presents itself. Pictures of visual aids in
teaching, of city government, industry
and social affairs will be circulated in
many countries. In fact the co-ordinator of the program is familiar with
the query "One more?" Always another picture must be taken.
Campus Benefits
The enrichment of the University
of Buffalo campus life is apparent
from comments by students and faculty alike. The community has responded magnificently and has felt
the impact of the diverse opinions and
cultures. It is indeed a worthwhile
experience we are all having with the
visiting educators who will leave us
on the 18th of December to move on
to another community to complete
their stay in this country. We hope
they have gained much from the experience of living and studying with
us on the campus and will remember
the University of Buffalo long after
the pennants on their baggage have
been destroyed.

DR. CARLOS C. ALDEN HONORED
BY LEGAL PROFESSION AND CITY
was the date of one
of the most warm and touching tributes ever paid to a member of the
legal and teaching professions, for on
that day some seven hundred former
students gathered in the Main Ballroom of Hotel Statler to pay tribute
to their former professor and dean,

enthusiasm of the gathering is a
greater tribute than could be the
words of any speaker. He asked Dr.
Alden to "regard them as cumulative
evidence of the esteem and warm
affection of those of us who still like
to be named among your boys and

Carlos C. Alden.
Local courts were adjourned to permit their representatives to observe
"Carlos C. Alden Day", so proclaimed
by Buffalo's mayor, Steven Pankow.
The dean's "boys" rose as one to
render a prolonged ovation as Dr.
Alden was escorted to the place of
honor by Alden Day chairman and
toastmaster, Samuel Sapowitch, LLB
'19.
Principal speaker, Frank G. Raichle,

Chancellor Clifford C. Furnas and
Jacob D. Hyman, Dean of the Law
School, described Dr. Alden as the

greatest man in the teaching of law
in this region, the latter expressing
the hope that the school could continue in the tradition of Dr. Alden.

Brandeis Gridders
Bring Own Trophy
Some enterprising member of the
Brandeis University football squad
carried, or otherwise smuggled, a
white plank from Boston, Mass, to
Buffalo, N. Y. by air. Painted on that
6V2" x 30" piece of wood were the
following words: "The Cottages
Brandeis Women's Dormitories
9
Ridgewood Terrace."
Following the Judges' arrival in
Buffalo, the sign went into hiding
and finallyturned up
right on the
locker room door of the football Bulls
in Civic Stadium. That would have
brought a smile to the lips of any
Buffalo fan, yet not after a 52-20 loss
to the Brandeis lads.
So it was that the Bulls "took a
burn" and decided that the purloined
sign should become as famous as the
Old Oaken Bucket or the Little Brown
Jug. There is just one difference. This
trophy goes to the loser.
The "Buffalo-Brandeis Plank", as it
has come to be known, is being cleaned
up a bit and willrepose in the Buffalo
trophy case until next season. Let's
hope it is returned with interest.

Eikenmen: "AWAY AND RUNNING"
For the first time since Mai Eiken
took over the head coaching berth for
the University's basketball forces, he
finds himself three weeks ahead of
the normal practice schedule at the
end of the first week of drills.
In case that sounds confusing, it is.
In former years at least twenty to
thirty men turned out for drills and
it took at least two weeks to evaluate the material and then choose the
final twelve or fifteen squad members.
On November Ist, exactly eighteen
men showed up for drills, ten of them
lettermen.

Currently beginning his ninth year
Eiken has yet to experience a losing campaign, having compiled a record of 108 wins against 63
defeats in the past eight seasons.
at the reins,

As casual observers of the preseason drills in Clark Gym, we'd say
the Eikenmen will run with the best
of the competition from start to finish.
The bench will be strong with several
potent combinations for substitution.
Defensive drills have the coach smiling and his one comment is, "While
I'm pleased with what has been shown
so far, there is plenty of room for improvement, especially in the department of putting the ball through the
hoop .. one department where all
styles will be employed."
Speaking of scoring, the team will
again be led by Jumpin' Jim Home
who will be playing his fourth and
final year of varsity ball. He already
has re-written all the scoring records
with the exception of Hal Kuhn's
single season total of 485 points. Last
season Jim just missed that record
with 475 points. In his three previous
campaigns. Jimhas dumped in a total
of 1285 points, more than any eager
in University history.
The squad will list three seniors,
eight juniors, and two sophomores.
Included will be big Bill Annable at
63" and 218 pounds, who has just
returned to the varsity after four
years of service to Uncle Sam. He
is a junior. Next come senior standouts such as Dan Kwiatek at 63"
and Ed Anderson, a newcomer, at
6'o". The set-shot ability of the latter
man will be a welcome addition to
the '54 Bulls.
Junior players, all from last year's
squad which posted a 15-8 record include rough and speedy Ernie Benoit,
Karl Englert, Kurt Lang, speedster

Dave Levitt, huge Len Saltman, mammoth Steve Sklar, and Rog Urban.
Listed in the sophomore class are
two men from Matt Mazza's classy
crew of '54 which won fifteen and lost
two. They are Joe Babiniski who
stands 63" and Chuck Daniels at 59".
So here is an experienced squad,
familiar with the fundamentals and
style of Eiken. What does all this
mean? We'll rush out on the proverbial limb and say it means a winning seasonas well as new records by
Jim Home who can now be utilized
even more for scoring rather than
covering the boards. There are too
many men for the opposition to watch
whereas, in the past, they have concentrated on Home. The Bulls will
run, run, run, with scoring expected
from all.

�GRID HISTORY REPEATS

Dick Doll, sensational young sophomore halfback who sparked the Bulls to
their first victory of the season over St.
Lawrence, 13-6, is shown in Civic Stadium action as he picked up fifteen yards
against the Saxons of Alfred. Doll, an
All-High selection at Seneca Vocational
High School, has shown to advantage as a
consistent ground gainer and vicious line
backer.
In 1952 the winless Bulls of the
gridiron wars came to their final
game with seven straight losses and
one game remaining. That final game
ended with the Bulls on the high side
of a 12-6 count and the season record
stood at 1-7. Both TD's in that stunning upset were scored on passes
snagged by star end Charles A.
"Charlie" O'Brien, Edß's4, who outran defensive halfback Gene Thalheimer of St. Lawrence.
On Saturday night, November 6th
of this season, a substitute end by
the name of Jim Renaldo entered the
game for Buffalo. At defensive position for the St. Lawrence Larries was

Mr.

Thalheimer, now a senior and the

outstanding workhorse of the Northcountry team. Then, with Bill Crowley heaving from Febel's spread formation, Jim Renaldo got behind Thalheimer to snag a twenty-nine yard
aerial and dash the remaining fourteen yards to score. It was a picture
play all the way and, incidentally, the
same play that had spelled disaster
for the Larries two years earlier.
Thus, Buffalo gained the initiative
to go on to a 13-6 win. their first of
the season after six straight defeats.
It was the seventh loss for St. Lawrence in a seven-game season.
Buffalo's twenty-eight man squad,
although defeated in the first six

games, has not lost the will to win or
the old college spirit. Each game was
bitterly contested right down to the
wire with the drive displayed bringing countless comments from the
spectators.
The opener was dropped at Cortland State teachers, 20-6. Then came
the first home game with Brockport
State, the Bulls losing 19-6. On the
road again for the Hobart contest, the
Bulls were smothered, 45-0. Homecoming produced a 26-0 loss to powerful Lafayette. Western Reserve, hitting their stride after a dismal start
also ruined the Bulls pass defense
record, finest in the East, with five
TD pitches to win 34-7. Undefeated
Alfred took the Bulls to task with a
hard fought 25-0 count in Civic Stadium. In each defeat, the Bulls finished
strong, looking brilliant from time to
time, especially in the aerial department from the spread formations.
St. Lawrence had astounded writers
of the area by holding powerhouse
Alfred to a 7-6 win and playing undefeated Hobart to a 6-6 standstill
for fifty-five minutes, only to lose
20-6.
Perhaps Buffalo has found that
certain victory formula in the upset
of eighteen-point favorite, St. Lawrence. That remains to be seen in the
final two encounters with Brandeis at
home on November 13th and R.P.I.
at Troy on November 20th. One thing
is certain. They have equalled the
records of 1952 and 1953, when the
gridiron Bulls won one game in each
of the two seasons. In the final game
of the 1953 season, the Bulls pounded
Ohio Northern University's men by
the score of 20-0 in the last game of
the season to throw the pre-game
predictions to the winds.

ABOUT THE COVER
One of Dr. Clifford C. Furnas' heartiest well-wishers at last
month's installation ceremonies for the new Chancellor was Dr.
Samuel Paul Capen who himself served the University as Chancellor
for twenty-eight years.
Dr. Capen, who earlier had been feared to be too ill to attend
the ceremonies, enthusiastically joined the audience and delegates
in applause for the new Chancellor. Just prior to the beginning
of the formal part of the program, the University's seventh and
ninth Chancellors were snapped by the photographer as they
chatted together on the stage.

Dr. Furnas Inaugurated as University's Ninth Chancellor
The ninth Chancellor in the University's 109-year history was inaugurated Friday evening, January 7th, in
a colorful ceremony which was the
climax of a two-day program of
events bringing together civic leaders,
the alumni, and the academic community.

Dr. Clifford Cook Furnas accepted
the seal of the University and its
charter, enacted by the State Legislature in 1846, from Seymour H. Knox,
Chairman of the University Council.
An audience of nearly 3000 listened
as Mr. Knox proclaimed:
"I now declare you to be the dulyinducted Chancellor of the University
of Buffalo, invested with all the privileges, charged with all the authority
and duties of that high office."
The impressive two-hour program
opened with a colorful academic procession of the University faculty, and
Council members, and 250 official
delegates of universities, colleges, and
learned societies. Included among the
delegates were fourteen college presidents.

After the invocation, greetings were
extended to the incoming Chancellor
by representatives from the faculty,
the alumni, the students, the community, the State, the U. S. Government,
and from universities of other countries.

A Panorama

The greetings from the alumni were
extended by Burt G. Weber, LLB'I9,
president of the General Alumni
Board, who pledged to the new Chancellor the continuing interest and participation of the graduates in the University and its activities.
In his address during the ceremony,
Dr. Arthur S. Adams, President of the
American Council on Education, congratulated the University on having
secured for Chancellor, "a man of insight, imagination and strength". Dr.
Adams went on to say that "Dr. Furnas' outstanding attribute is courage". He also described him as "one
who always takes the positive side
and the constructive course."
In his own inauguration address,
Dr. Furnas stressed the tremendous
task facing the University of Buffalo,
together with other institutions of
higher learning throughout the United
States, during the next twenty years.
He noted that, "Higher education
has changed from being a luxury to
a national and individual necessity for
a substantial proportion of the population", and went on to point out that
the urban university will be of increasing importance in this expanding
educational matrix.
General Alumni Luncheon
Among the featured events of the
program leading up to the inaugura-

of the Third Annual Alumni Luncheon

tion ceremony was the Third Annual
Alumni Luncheon held in Clark Memorial Gymnasium on Friday, January
7th.

More than 600 alumni, faculty, and
friends of the University gathered to
hear Roy E. Larsen, President of
Time, Inc., and Chairman of the National Citizens Commission for the
Public Schools, praise the University
for the partnership it had achieved
with the community and for the University's development of the tutorial
system, anticipatory examinations,
and modern literature collections.
Burt G. Weber, LLB'I9, president of
the General Alumni Board, was chairman and Mearl D. Pritchard, PhG'2l,
president-elect of the Board, served as
toastmaster. Mr. Larsen was introduced to the assembled guests by Mr.
Edward H. Butler, editor and publisher of the Buffalo Evening News. It.
was also on this occasion that the
University honored thirteen alumni
and citizens with citations for outstanding service.

What Is The Task ?
The Inaugural Address of Chancellor C. C. Furnas

In the United States there are almost 1800 institutions of higher learning, each of which has a chief executive officer under the title of chancellor or president. The record shows
that the average period of service of
such executive heads at any one institution is only four and one-half
years. Simple division indicates that
there must be about 400 installations
of presidents or chancellors in the
realms of higher education in America,
every year. Nearly all of these events
are embellished with an inaugural address by the incumbent. On the average, then, there is more than one such
address per day. With all that flow
of words, certainly almost everything
of importance on the subject of the
progress and problems of higher education must have been said at least
once. It would appear that there
would be but little justification for
attempting to add anything to the
record. But now that I am here and
have the opportunity I, like the hundreds of others, can hardly resist the
temptation to say a few words about
some items that are deemed to be
significant for this particular time
and place.
In myfirst four delightful and busy
months as Chancellor of the University of Buffalo, profound considerations of the basic problems do not
seem to have constituted the backbone of the agenda items crying for a
place on my calendar. Rather the
natural flow has been directed toward
such items as a less-than-completelysuccessful football season, shortage
of parking space, crowded classrooms,
and the perennial "few words of welcome" to visiting groups. Through it
all, of course, one must follow an adequately devious path to avoid treading on those two precious species of
fauna
the sleeping dog and the
sacred cow.

—

But these activities are recognized
as being merely the initiation ceremonies. I have found my colleagues
eager and willing to help me delve
into the analysis and the attempted
solutions of the more basic problems.
We have discussed the future program of the University at considerable length. The title of this address
is "What Is The Task?". I am promising no solutions—only an analysis of
the problems which lie before us.

What Are We
To Do?

Trying

Unless one is flying completely blind
and desperately, he has some heading
in mind and some goal to be reached.
So the first point of an analysis is to
state our goal, or, expressed another
way, in the form of a question—what
are we trying to do? This would seem
to be a simple question which would
lead to a straightforward and simple
answer—but such is not the case. In
academic circles themselves, in business and industry, in the world at
large, you will find almost as many

variants on the objectives of higher
education as there are people. At least
this appears to be the situation when
you start getting down to details.
Insofar as any generalities are safe,
however, there are some basic principles which few will dispute—somewhat as follows:
A modern university should carry
on three activities: first, provide good
instruction for the coming generation;
second, contribute to human knowledge through research; and third,
perform certain appropriate public
services. From the individual student's point of view, the university
should provide the means and the environment for learning to live as well
as learning to make a living. It is not
my intention to air my own opinions
on the techniques and methods best
suited to accomplish all these wonderful things. Rather I wish to dwell on
some very important environmental
factors which must be understood before we can properly delineate our
task.

The New Environment

There are certain factors of the naand international environment
which have a major bearing on the
problem. Half a century ago, the
automobile was a luxury more or less
enjoyed by only a few. By mid-century it has become a true essential
for the average American, in the most
practical sense. During this same
half-century higher education has
gone through very much the same
cycle, until it is now truly essential
for a substantial segment of the American population. The two phenomena are very closely related. Both are
the result and the logical conclusion
of the Industrial Revolution, which is
just now beginning to come of age.
This eventual trend of events with its
accompanying more or less painful
social changes, was inevitable as soon
as James Watt took out the first patent on an improved steam engine, in
the year 1769. Although much of very
great significance had happened in
science and invention before Watt, it
was the practical steam engine which
really opened up a route to what we
now think of as a scientific and industrial society. Since Watt, the parade
of scientists and inventors has become
even larger. You may recognize the
tional

�names and the works of a few—such
as Lavoisier, Whitney, Faraday, Mendelyeev, Pasteur, Darwin, Mendel,
Maxwell, Edison, Becquerel, Curie,
Planck, Einstein, the Wright brothers,
Heisenberg, Fleming, Hahn, Strassmann, Fermi.
The profound changes which these
men and women of the western world
have wrought on the structure of
civilization and the mechanics of living, have also led to changes in educational needs, of truly major import.
Not long ago, only the three professions of theology, law and medicine
required college degrees. Now all the
professions and a great many segments of industry, business and agriculture require, ask for, and get a
large proportion of the university
graduates. As compared to the good

old days life has become very complicated, indeed.
Dramatic as they may be, however,
these industrial and educational revolutions are only pieces of the mosaic
of a still greater theme of our present
civilization, which is distinctly different from any that has gone before.
Perhaps the English historian Toynbee
has best expressed the nature of the
trend. Toynbee would have it that
three hundred years from now the
twentieth century will not be remembered primarily for world wars or the
automobile, the airplane, antibiotics,
or even nuclear energy, but rather for
"having been the first age since the
dawn of civilization, some five or six
thousand years back, in which people
dared to think it practicable to make
the benefits of civilization available to
the whole human race." Evidence of
this pattern of thinking and action is
seen in the slogans about the century
of the common man and the welfare
state, and in the trend toward legislation for social betterment, not only
in the United States but throughout
most of the world. The common man,
undeniably and apparently irresistably, is bent on improving his lot. The
something new that has been added
to make this century of the common
man possible is scientific knowledge
coupled with mass production
broadly interpreted.

makes warfare more and more terrible. The critics say we adore good
plumbing and neglect fine thinking.
Faithful servants are no longer obtainable—we have to rely on unreliable household gadgets to handle the
onerous chores of living. You're not
even able to hire a baby sitter until
you install a television set for her
amusement. Every factory worker
must have an automobile to ride
around in on Sunday. Obviously he
should stay at home as his grandfather did. We devised the airplanes
and atomic bombs which made World
War II fantastically destructive and
cruel, and have brought up the prospects of a possible World War HE
which would be catastrophic beyond
belief. Are we really making progress?
At this juncture one might argue
endlessly and fruitlessly on the fine
points of human values, so I will express my own view, quickly and
briefly. In my opinion, over the long
stretch of the last two centuries, there
has been enormous moral as well as
physical progress. We now recognize
the rights and inherent dignity of all
human beings far more than we ever
have before. We now almost universally abhor the thought of war, as
compared to 1898 when "What this
country needs is a good war" was an
acceptable national slogan. We thoroughly and bitterly condemn Hitler's
Germany and Stalin's Russia rather
than merely condoning them as we
would have a couple of centuries ago.
In the long historical view these men
of destruction will be reduced to
proper size and appear as minor aberrations in the course of steady moral
progress. Our billions of dollars of
aid to foreign lands is truly for the
good of those lands as well as for

Is It Progress?

Almost everyone gives lip service to
the desirability of this trend of making the benefits of civilization available to all, but there are many who
do not like the immediate results. It
has become fashionable to sneer at
our "progress", because the word is
usually used to denote only material
progress, and often of a kind that

our own enlightened self-interest.
The United Nations is much less effective than we would like, but for the
first time in history we do have a
brothers-keeper organization which
has some chance of being successful.
These and many other developments
are, I submit, progress—and of a kind
which outweighs and over-rides the
minor irritations which arise from the
mechanical adjustments to a new type
of living. But what, you may ask,
does all this have to do with higher
education? It has almost everything
to do with it. Our task is to teach
and add to new knowledge in such a
way that the moral and physical gains
for the individual and for the world
community will continue. As educators we have the prime responsibility
of making a modern scientific society
truly operative rather than letting it
become an era in which we only succeed in outsmarting ourselves as a
dozen earlier civilizations have done.

A Few Numbers
The sheer weight of numbers of college and univei-sity graduates required
to make the modern society effective
is unprecedented and, from one point
of view, appalling. Unfortunately,
while we are feeling our way we must
be prepared to protect ourselves
against possible military aggression.
Hence, one of the grimmer aspects of

the educational need lies in the military field. Supersonic aircraft, guided
missiles, electronic brains, and nuclear
weapons, in their use as well as in
their development, call for a level of
scientific achievement and technological skill which can not possibly be
supplied by the old apprenticeship and
empirical approach. When one contemplates that a moderate-sized hydrogen bomb, which can be carried by
one aircraft, delivers about twenty
times the explosive power of all of the
bombs dropped by the tens of thousands of airplanes of both the American and British airforces during the
six years of World War n, he gets
a little comprehension of how much
the world has changed and how
seriously the situation may have been
altered in ten short years. It is no
secret that Russia alone is now turning out about twice as many college
graduates in science and engineering
as the United States. If civilization
follows the course we should like to
see, those talents would be turned entirely to peaceful benefits, but they
are, at the present time, almost certainly being pointed in large degree
to the preparation for a possible
World War lll—hence national sur-

�6

vival may very well be at stake, and
the meeting of the problem of supplying at least equal talents must fall
squarely on the shoulders of American colleges and universities.
In the United States by 1970 the
college age population will increase
by approximately 709£ over that of
1954. This datum is not a matter of
speculation. The youngsters are with
us now—living, eating, breathing—
and a large proportion of them are
already in the elementary and secondary schools. The rate of survival can
be predicted with a high degree of
accuracy. Being of college age, of
course, does not necessarily mean that
they will attend, but past trends in
secondary education give some key
to the probable course of events. Not
long ago a high school education was
the exception rather than the rule.
Now it is almost universal. In the
last 75 years the population of the
United States has about tripled but
the number of people in high school
has increased at least sixty-fold.
Nearly universal college education,
for those who have the mental qualifications, is only a logical extension
of this trend and is, perhaps, inevitable.
In 1900, 240,000 people—four percent of those of college age in the
United States
attended institutions
of higher education. In 1950 the number attending had increased to 2,400,----000. The proportion attending had be-

—

come almost thirty percent—a sevenand-one-half-fold increase. The trend
is still upward and there is no indication of a cessation or any reversal,
simply because higher education has
changed from being a luxury to a national and individual necessity for a
substantial proportion of the population.
The Role of the Urban University
In this expanding educational matrix it is almost certain that the urban
university will be of increasing importance. It may well be the sword
for the Gordian knot. A larger proportion of people live in cities than
ever before. With slowly rising real
incomes a substantial percentage of
parents can spend a modest amount
on a college education for their children. But for the foreseeable future,
the majority will not have the means
to send them to distant, expensive
universities—particularly in view of
the heavy tax structure. Further, the
college student often has better opportunities for self-help in his own
community than he has elsewhere,
particularly if his educational schedule
is fairly flexible. The urban university is becoming the university of the
middle class, and the middle class is
beginning to encompass all of America. There are those who smugly
decry this trend, but that doesn't
stop it.

The Local Scene

Turning from the national to the

local scene: in the Niagara Frontier,
which is the University of Buffalo's
natural reservoir, those who will be
applying for college or university admittance in this region will be, on a
conservative estimate, at least 100%
greater by 1970 than it is today. These
numbers will include a certain proportion who will come to us from outside
the immediate region, which is certainly all to the good. Nothing can be
quite as cloying as provincialism, and
the cross-fertilization of ideas and
concepts which is achieved by living
and working with persons from other
regions is one of the most important
aspects of higher education. This is
the prime reason why it is extremely
desirable to enlarge the dormitory
program on the campus.
In the second major function of a
university-—research—there is a great
deal still to be accomplished. Though
we do some very substantial and outstanding research in some fields, particularly in medicine, we are by no
means yet pulling our own weight in
the boat of contribution to new knowledge. In some disciplines we are doing almost nothing at all. Very substantial strides must be made soon if
we are to maintain our position as a
true university.
In general, in the items of public
service our performance is somewhat
better than it is in research. For two
generations the regional professions of
medicine and law have been manned
largely by local graduates. Many have
achieved the highest ranks in national
as well as local performance, and thus
contributed in a major way to public
service. A similar pattern, closely
linked to the University, is rapidly
developing in industry, business and
the arts. Regional industry and civic
organizations as well as the professions receive major aid and stimulation, directly and indirectly, from the
University. This level of performance
must be at least maintained and, preferably, expanded.

What Will Be Required?

Chairman Knox Installs Dr. Furnas as Chancellor

In common with every other college
and university we face some serious
physical needs. The listing of the requirements of any one institution is
probably a fairly typical cross-section
of the national picture. If someone
could hand us a task assignment sheet
with definite instructions upon it, it
would probably say that our stewardship on the Niagara Frontier requires
that we shall do our best for the foreseeable future to meet the educational
needs of all of those who are ade-

�7

quately qualified and who come to us.
By the year 1970 at our own University this will probably mean about
double our present enrollment of
10,000.

Staff
The first requirement in meeting
this task will be to obtain the services of a sufficient number of highly-

qualified men and women for instruction and research. Our best estimate
to date is that in order to take care
of the additional load there must be
approximately 75% increase in the
teaching and administrative staff. The
fact that it will not take double the
people to handle double the enrollment does not imply that the quality
of the instruction will suffer. I believe that it can be improved with this
number. By carefully evaluatingneeds
and methods and improving physical
equipment and techniques, I think it
is entirely feasible to have greater
accomplishment with somewhat fewer
numbers. This 75% increase in staff,
however, does not include the need for
expanded research activities and public service. It is hardly possible at
this time to make any predictions as
to how much those activities can and
should be expanded, but they certainly
should move forward, for this is the
area of most direct and immediate
benefit to the community.

Buildings
The second obvious need is for floor
space and equipment—classrooms, laboratories and dormitories. The University of Buffalo is in a more fortunate circumstance than many in that it
does not, for the time being, need any
additional real estate. But the available physical facilities are about as
nearly saturated as it is possible to
be. Some classes are almost literally
hanging out of the windows. So despite whatever increases may be made
in efficiency of scheduling and improvement of physical arrangement it
is almost inevitable that double the
number of students by 1970 will require about double the amount of
physical facilities.

Dollars

These simply-stated needs may now
roughly translated into dollars for
the target date of 1970. Though the
instructional and administrative staff
need only increase by about 75%, we
happen to be in the somewhat unfortunate circumstance that the salary
scale in effect at present is on the low
side, as compared to the national picture. In order Lo attract and maintain
be

Dr. Furnas: "Business and industry face a challenge".

an adequate faculty in the forthcoming keen competition, it is going to be
necessary to improve some of the
salary structure quite substantially.
Though there are still a few dedicated
scholars in the world who will teach
for the love of it on a mere sustaining
pittance, their number is not now and
never has been very large. Substituting academic recognition, honors, and
treasures in heaven for an adequate
paycheck is simply not a realistic way
to approach the job. I will gofurther
and say that it is impossible. Because
of these increased salary needs, by
the year 1970 for the instructional
purposes alone, our operating budget
will need to be about doubled—that is,
from about 5 million to about 10 million dollars per year. This is on the
assumption that there is no further
inflationary trend. If inflation is still
with us, and it still very well may be,
then an additional increment will be
needed.
A rough estimate may be made of
the probable cost of handling the indicated doubling of the floor space.
Without going into the details it can
be said that it would appear that the
cost for the minimum needs will be
of the order of 15 million dollars, at
the present cost of construction.
These figures for increased operating budget and building costs certainly represent a difficult chore but
by no means an impossible one. I am
not even sure that it is a discouraging
one, if everyone realizes the importance and necessity of the work.

What Are the Sources
of Support?
Before analyzing the possible
sources of support I would like to outline some basic considerations.
I—Veryl—Very broadly defined, all of the
real income in our national economy is
derived from industry and agriculture.
All other activities are supported by
these two. In our present social structure, agriculture, while it contributes
substantially to the tax receipts, is the
recipient of various direct and indirect
forms of aid, and so is not a fruitful
source for support of additional things
outside its own bailiwick. In effect,
then, this throws the entire burden
for the additional educational load
directly or indirectly upon industry—
and it is quite a burden.
2—l suggest that we —by this I
mean all we Americans—are still approaching the mid-twentieth century
problem of financing private colleges
and universities with a nineteenth
century psychology—on the basis of
charity. Though giving can be a
beautiful and wonderful experience,
though biblically itranks equally with
faith and hope as a virtue, though
America has been and still is the "givingest" nation on earth; charity
even American charity
falls far
short of being adequate for the task.

Planting For the Future
In recent years some of the more
far-seeing lumber companies have established the policy of planting seedlings for the future
at least fifty
years in the future. This practice has

—

�8

established as a legitimate business expense within the framework of
the existing tax legislation and the
mores of the stockholders. The analogy to the industrial support of education is. I believe, clear. If the support of small trees is a legitimate
business expense, is not the fostering
of education of young men and women who will in the near future be
the principals in business and industry even more legitimate and desirable? To activate this analogy will
require but little change in the present legal pattern, but it will call for
a substantial shift in American business psychology. Unless such a change
is forthcoming, it is my belief that
private colleges and universities cannot long continue to play a vital role
in American education.
It is true that within the last few
years industry is awakening to its
new responsibility, as witnessed by
such magnificent activities as the
National Fund for Medical Education
and the Council for Financial Aid to
Higher Education. The aid from these
funds has been very substantial and
is greatly appreciated, but it is still
primarily on the basis of charity and
is simply a long way from being
enough for the years ahead.
The Burden of Industry
My remarks above might be interpreted as an indication of ingratitude.
Certainly such is not my intention
and I do not believe that I am lacking
in gratitude. I am merely trying to be
realistic. I feel that I am quite cognizant of the increasing burden from
all directions upon industry. Demands
for direct or indirect support of all
manner of activities come on its doorstep because there is simply no other
place to put them. Many, if not most,
of these burdens are translated into the
form of taxes. No matter what the
political party in power, we find increasing socialistic trends toward the
welfare state. I do not know whether
this will eventually solve the unsolved
riddle or social injustice, but there is
no question that the trend is there and
that it takes tax money. Because of
the excellent work of the doctors, the
nutritionists and the hygienists of the
last century, we have an increasing
been

elderly people—those who
beyond the productive age
—who mustbe taken care of by either
their own accumulations or by other
means. In 1900 the proportion of the
population that was over 65 was 4.3 %.
By 1952 this proportion had almost
doubled to 8.4%. By 1960 it will be

On top of this is the very heavy
burden of expenditure for national defense, which apparently will be with
us for a long time. In 1929 this
amounted to L3% of the gross national product, in 1943 it amounted to
14.2% —a ten-fold increase and I
consider that for the foreseeable future we will be fortunate if we can
hold it down to this percentage. And
now comes the inescapable demand
for more and more education for our
rapidly expanding new generation.
These are discouraging data and
might seem to indicate that industry
could not possibly give further support to education. However, the demands are more than balanced by the
trend toward increasing productivity,
the steady growth toward more and
more real wealth. Since 1910 the
growth in productivity of the nation
has averaged about 3% per year.
Since 1929 the real output per capita
of goods and services has increased
by almost three-fifths, and the trend
is still upward. Since 1929 the disposable personal income (the amount that
the average individual has to spend
for goods and services) in terms of
dollars of constant buying power, has
increased by almost 45y. The trend
can be and still is upward and there
is no reason why it should fall off in
the foreseeable future, for we do have
the science and technology to produce
more and more real income. In general, then, although the trends of demands may be somewhat frightening,
the potential for meeting them is ever
increasing and the solution can be
found if there is a national will to do
it. The Niagara Frontier, being the
eleventh community in the nation in
volume of industrial production, is
more happily situated than many to
meet the needs. The wealth of Erie
and Niagara counties approaches the
$10 billion mark. The annual income

—

is about $2V2 billion. Sixteen of these
48 United States have less annual income than does the Niagara Frontier.

Why Private Institutions?

The foregoing statements and contentions obviously imply that it is a
national necessity to have private colleges and universities, in addition to
those which are publicly supported
through taxes. Perhaps such an attitude requires some justification. I
firmly believe that this thesis is true,
and that American experience amply
bears it out. Our social as well as our
industrial accomplishments have never
been matched at any other place in
the world at any time. Our educational pattern has not been the sole
reason for this but it has been a very
substantial and necessary factor. This
pattern we have followed is a wellbalanced, complementary duality and
not a schizophrenia. It is a structure
of maximum strength and effectiveness.
Be it emphasized and underlined
that, barring some unforeseen economic and sociological revolution, the
rising demand for higher education
will be met by one means or another.
The public pressure for it is not to be
denied. The only question to be decided is the route. Shall it be the
single taxpayer's lane or the dual
highway of private as well as public
suppoi't? We will probably be able to
discern the trend of the national answer within the next few years. My
firm conviction is that if we are wise,
as a nation we will continue along the
double highway.

Other Sources of Support

By now I have probably belabored
the increasing responsibility of industry quite adequately. Let us then turn
to the other sources of support. Even
though all real income may, in the
last analysis, be in the lap of industry
and agriculture, it is certainly true

Symposium. From

�that all of the immediate channels are
by no means the direct industrial
dollar.
The first and most evident source of
support is the tuition paid by the students themselves. Even the tax-supported institutions lean heavily on
this. The national average of operating income from tuition in tax-supported colleges and universities in
1950 was almost 30%. In that same
year over two-thirds of the income for
private colleges and universities came
from tuition. As compared to these
data of the national averages, the tuition and student fees at the University of Buffalo supply about 85% of
the operating income. Locally at any
rate, the students and their parents
are bearing the brunt of the burden of
direct operating costs. This is selfhelp in the finest American tradition,
but perhaps it can be carried too far.
Until half a century ago the endowment fund was the firm foundation
for the continuing effectiveness of
most of the private institutions. Except in a very few cases, such as the
most happily situated eastern universities, it seems that major reliance
can no longer be placed upon income
from endowments. Allow me to hasten
to add, however, that endowment possibilities will certainly not be overlooked. When available they are a
great help and their quest will be continuously pursued with ample vigor.
Then there are the continuing campaigns of annual giving among alumni,
regional supporters and friends. These
are sources of increasing importance,
particularly when they provide unrestricted funds for the general use of
the institution, and are becoming
more prominent in tax-supported as
well as private universities.
Various financial foundations have
long been of great importance in
higher education, especially in the research field. The number of them is
increasing, as is also the total amount
of funds available in this reservoir.
They, however, are not by any means
increasing as rapidly as the need and,
useful as they are, they are only a
drop in the bucket in meeting the
total bill.
There is another area in which I
feel that universities can constructively meet their problems better than
they have in the past—in contract activities for research and public services. Though many universities carry
on research on a contract basis, for
the government and for industry, in
only a small percent of the cases do
thereimbursements actually cover the

re-attains its proper relative importance in the national mind.

complete costs of doing the work.
Some institutions are approaching
bankruptcy because they are so pros-

perous in research contracts which do
not carry adequate overhead charges.
In my opinion this is shortsighted and
poorbusiness. To the best of myknowledge there is not a single agency of
the federal government which will
allow the full and realistic overhead
charges on a university type of contract. In effect then, certain increments of student fees or endowment
funds or annual gifts are helping to
subsidize the various government
agencies. This I contend is unwise and
not in the public interest and could be
corrected if most of the universities of
the country were sufficiently resolute
about it. To a somewhat lesser degree
this practice of not charging adequately for the wares holds even on
industrial contracts which are held by
universities. As research and other
services increase in importance —as
they will
it seems to me that this
simple device of making adequate
charges will help very materially in
appropriately spreading the burden.
Please pardon me for dwelling
overly long on these grubby and mundane details of means of support. Because of their number and variety,
I had hoped to inject a small note
of optimism. If there is a national
and regional will, there are many national and regional ways in which the
problem of support can be met. Fifty
years ago one dollar out of two available in public funds was spent on
education. Today the proportion has
dropped to one out of six. Though
much more is being spent on education than ever before, it has been
crowded from its former relatively
high position by everything from national defense to good roads, human
rehabilitation and flood control dams.
These are all very important but so is
education—more important than ever.
The problems of support will be solv-

Thus far my discourse may have
had the flavor of being too pragmatic
and too loaded with prickly and uninteresting data. What of a university's stewardship of those two sacred
entities: academic freedom and individuality? Are they in danger? I
believe that both are very much in
danger, but not from the enemies
which most people visualize. Demagogues (which most academicians fear
above all others) have inflicted some
bloody surface wounds in America,
but none as yet have been really serious. The skirmishes will continue and
further damage undoubtedly will be
done, but I see no rising trend of
academic suppression which is truly
hazardous. The present situation keeps
the American academic world on
guard to protect its traditional freedom and the right of a person to be
an individual. This may have a certain amount of merit. There might
even be something to the David Harum philosophy that a moderate number of fleas is good for a dog—it prevents complacency.
Rather, I see the hazard to lie in
the very pattern and systems of education which we are apparently being
forced to develop. One may shudder
at the thought that colleges and universities are taking on the structure
of a mass production operation, but I
believe it would be ostrich-like to
ignore the fact that there is such a
trend. There is but little place for
freedom of thought or of action or for
the development and growth of individuality on an automobile assembly
line, but if we are to have and to use
over fifty million cars in this country,
the automobile assembly line is an
essential. When we have ten million
youth in the colleges and universities,
it will be easy to fall into the mass
production techniques and, unwittingly, the virtues of academic freedom and individuality may suffer
some real defeats. A creeping paralysis rather than direct frontal attacks
is the enemy which I fear most. A
certain degree of applicability is
found in a quotation from a recent
book "Faith and Freedom", by Barbara Ward: "The West will prove
more vulnerable than any other society if it abandons the pursuit of
visions and ideals, for, more than any
other community, it is the product

Dentists Begin Own
Annual Education Fund
Because of their concern for and
interest in the improvement and expansion of dental education, certain
dental alumni leaders and their colleagues in the profession have organized the University of Buffalo Annual
Dental Education Participating Fund.
Designed to enlist the support of all
dental alumni of the University and of
other members of the dental profession in the Western New York region
the Fund was announced at a meeting
of the teams of workers at the University in Butler Auditorium of Capen
Hall on Tuesday evening, February
Ist.
Edward F. Mimmack, DDS'2I,
Chairmanof the Executive Committee
of the Fund, announced that the dental profession locally has initiated
this annual supporting fund in an
effort to assist the University in expanding its post graduate programs
for dentists, in expanding its faculty
and full time teachers in the Dental
School, in increasing the number of
students admitted each year, in expanding research, and in preserving
independent dental education.
Chairman Mimmack pointed out
that the University's School of Dentistry now has excellent teaching and
physical facilities, and superb clinical
facilities in its new home in Capen
Hall on the campus. However, this
Fund will seek to provide the means
for assisting in the improvement of
the educational program. To do this,
at least $100 pledged annually will be
sought from each dentist by the workers in the Fund.
At the meeting initiating the Fund
on February Ist, Chancellor Clifford
C. Furnas and Leon J. Gauchat, DDS
'19, Dean of the School of Dentistry,
also addressed the 175 dentists, who
comprise the teams of workers, on the
importance of retaining independent
dental education and of improving the
overall program of dental education
in the University's School of Den-

tistry.

Committee, in addition to Chairman

not of geographical and racial forces
but of the molding power of the human spirit."
Certainly in our plans for the future
we must avoid becoming so engrossed
in the problems of bricks and mortar,
technical qualifications of teachers,
and the details of curricula to meet
the immediate needs, that we lose
sight of these eternal virtues which
have been the ultimate strength of
higher education for at least two
thousand years. If we fail to grasp
and hold to these, we do so at our
national peril. In our social pattern
the great leaders, the doers, the builders of the future come from the environment of academic freedom and
recognition of the dignity of the individual. How can we maintain this
environment in a situation where the
mere mass of the operation will tend
to make all patterns fit pre-designed
molds ? Can we maintain a place for
and give ample opportunity for the
growth of the unusually talented and
energetic individuals ? When there are
so many can we make a proper place
for the few?
I cannot answer these questions—l
can only ask them. But we must continually search for the answers. I am
sure that adequate answers will lead
to an educational structure which
places substantial emphasis on the
humanities and the arts. May I also
be so bold as to suggest that, for various reasons, some of the basic answers are more likely to be found in
private institutions than in public
ones.

What Is The Task?

The short discourse I had originally
intended has now become quite
lengthy. Even so I have been guilty of
some serious sins of omission. I have
not touched the great god, curriculum, nor attempted any erudite discussion of the learning process or
teaching techniques. I have not speculated on enriching the background
for teachers nor discussed the expanding future of adult education, nor
delved into the probable level of mental ability of tomorrow's average student. These, and many others, should
be considered at all times, in many
places—but not here. All that I set
out to do here was to attempt an answer to the question: What Is The
Task?
If this age of ours will be remembered not for automobiles, nor atomic
energy, nor wars, but for the spread-

Dramatic

Announcement At
Alumni Luncheon
As Burt G. Weber, LLB'I9, was
stepping up to the rostrum to begin
his remarks as Chairmanof the Third

Annual Alumni Luncheon, held as
part of the Inauguration Program, he
was handed a message by Christopher
Baldy, LLB'IO, president of that class.
Chairman Weber glanced at the
paper and thought its text so significant that he included it in his remarks. Turning to Dr. Furnas, the
new Chancellor, he said:
"Mr. Chancellor, this is a dramatic
example of the devotion and dedication of our alumni. A few months
ago, a quiet campaign among the
members of one Law Class was begun
with the hope that each of the members of that class would wish to indicate that he had remembered the University of Buffalo in his will. And,
now today, Mr. Christopher Baldy.
president of the Law Class of 1910,
has just handed me the results—9s
per cent of that Class have already
indicated that they have remembered
the University in their wills. Mr.
Baldy adds that 100 per cent should
be realized when a couple of other
members of the Class have been contacted this month.
"I think you will agree with me,
Mr. Chancellor and guests, that this
is indeed dramatic testimony of the
devotion of alumni and of their faith
in their University. I am sure other
classes will wish to follow the example of Law '10."
President Weber's prediction proved
correct. In the week following the
announcement at the luncheon, Owen
B. Augspurger, Jr., LLB'37, alumni
vice-president for bequests, informed
the Alumni Office that three classes
had already contacted him for forms
and had indicated their intention of
emulating the fine example set by
Law, *10.
ing of benefits once enjoyed by the
few, to all mankind, the application
for universities is obvious. The watchword must be: Grow in stature and in
quality. We must do for many what
once was done for a few. We must
learn to educate millions as well as
we once educated hundreds. The University of Buffalo must do its share.
Expand and grow without loss of
quality. That is the task—now let's
get on with it, forthwith.

Teachers, the Bulls dropped decisions
to Akron, Sienna and Detroit. Then

with the aid of an improved Roy Fowler, the rebounding of Steve Sklar,
and set-shooting of Dave Levitt, the
team took the measure of Assumption, Brockport, Colgate and Hobart,
with only a loss to Cortland to mar
the otherwise fine string.
During the Christmas recess, the
squad journeyed to Quantico Marine

Base in Virginia to participate in the
Quantico Marines' Invitational Tour-

nament. After eliminating Springfield
College in the first round, the Bulls
were beaten by Washington and Jef-

ferson in an overtime thriller and
were decisioned by Wabash College to
finish fourth in the tournament. Jim
Home, incidentally was chosen on the
All-star Squad of the tourney.
What the season's record will finally look like is anyone's guess, but
it looks as though Eiken and his team
will have more wins than losses.

Townsend Hall Sold
An historic Buffalo landmark, the
University's Townsend Hall has been
sold. Representatives of the purchaser
disclosed that the building will either

or torn down and possibly used for a parking lot. The
building has been used for educational
purposes for more than 75 years.
The structure was built around 1878
by the Women's Educational and Industrial Union as an adult educational
center. As such it was the center of
many educational and cultural activities of the community.
The University acquired the building in 1915 and used it for the first
classes of the College of Arts and
Sciences. In recent years it has been
used principally by Millard Fillmore
College and the University's School of
Social Work.
The present Biology Building on the
campus has been renamed Townsend
Hall to comply with a provision of the
original deed, by which the University
acquired the building, which requires
that the name by retained on some
building owned by the University.

renovated

Nuclear Center
Chancellor Clifford C. Furnas recently disclosed that a $500,000 nuclear research center may soon be
built on the University campus. Plans
for the construction of the center are,
as Dr. Furnas said, "still in the talking stage." He characterized the
center as primarily devoted to research in medicine, physics, chemistry, biology and engineering rather
than a power generating facility.
Although preliminary discussions
regarding the proposed center have
been held at the University for the
past few months no definite plan has
as yet been presented to the University Council. Dr. Furnas added that
he hoped to present some sort of plan
for the Council's consideration in the
next six months.

All The "King's Men"
Improve Rapidly
Handicapped by the return of only
two men from last year's varsity
roster, the University's wrestling team
under the direction of Coach George
King has nonetheless been improving
considerably.
Led by Captain Gerry Coles and
Pete Rao, the grapplers were "pinned"

by the Ontario Aggies and BaldwinWallace by close scores; were
"swamped" by Case Institute of Technology but rebounded back to take
the measure of the Ontario Aggies by
a decisive score.
Coach King declared, "The team
has improved 100% since the beginning of the season, as shown in its
comeback against Ontario. Only
spirited wrestling and the desire to
win enabled the team to overcome a
strong Ontario squad."
Although the toughest part of the
schedule is coming up. with the added
experience the matmen have gained

this season the future looks optimistic.

CHANCELLOR FURNAS ANNOUNCES NEW ATHLETIC POLICY
The University of Buffalo will continue to play football for at least another five years, but will eventually
move most of its varsity games from
Civic Stadium to Rotary Field on the
campus, Chancellor Clifford C. Furnas
said last month, in announcing a
policy and program for athletics. In
three years, the football situation will
be re-examined to determine whether
the sport should be continued.
"A sound athletic program, including intercollegiate competition, is a
desirable part of university life," the
policy states. Dr. Furnas added, "Overemphasis on sports obviously can become an evil, but to avoid this, it is
not necessary to err in the other
direction by under-emphasizing the
value of vigorous athletic competition,
or discontinuing athletic programs
altogether."
According to the program, "Explorbe made concerning the
feasibility of forming an athletic conference of schools within an appropriate geographical area affording a
suitable level of competition. Final
decision on joining such a conference
will be made not later than the fall
of 1957."
A few of the home games will be
played on the campus in the fall of
1955, the others at Civic Stadium.
The program states that, "When and
if funds are available for enlarging
the seating capacity and improving
the facilities at Rotary Field, more of
the games will be moved there. In
that case the Civic Stadium will be
used only when unusually large crowds
are anticipated."
ations will

According to the policy statement,
"The University will welcome contributions from individuals or organizations for the aid of worthy students
who maintain an adequate scholastic
standing, and who need financial help.
The division and apportionment of the
total resources the University has for
aiding students will reflect the fundamental intention to give financial help
where it is needed most and where it
can be used best for the student's own
development, and for the eventual
benefit of this society.
"In weighing qualifications for scholarships, the Scholarship Committee
will be guided by the University's desire to give full recognition to the
value of extra-curricular activities,

including varsity sports, while avoiding exaggeration of the part athletic
competition may desirably play in the
student's life and that of the University."
Chancellor Furnas said that this
policy and program have been agreed
upon in principle by three University
groups: the Athletic Committee, the
Scholarship Committee,and the Alumni Athletic Council.

UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO
ATHLETIC POLICY
1. A sound athletic program, including intercollegiate competition, is
a desirable part of university life.

2. The University will welcome contributions from individuals or organizations for the aid of worthy students
who maintain an adequate scholastic
standing, and who need financial help.
This assistance may be given in the
form of scholarships, leadership
awards, or grants-in-aid. All such
funds must be paid directly to the
University and will be administered
by the University Scholarship Committee within the existing framework
of its rules and regulations.
3. The entire program of financial
aid to students shall be in keeping
with the letter and spirit of the regulations of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association and of the Eastern College Athletic Conference. The
division and apportionment of the
total resources the University has
for aiding students will reflect the
fundamental intention to give financial help where it is needed most and
where it can be used best for the student's own development, and for the
eventual benefit of this society. In
weighing qualifications for scholarships, the Scholarship Committee will
be guided by the University's desire
to give full recognition to the value of
extra-curricular activities, including
varsity sports, while avoiding exaggeration of the part athletic competition may desirably play in the student's life and that of the University.
These principles are in accordance
with those laid down by the Middle
States Association.
PROGRAM
1. A program of intercollegiate football will be continued at the Univer-

sity for at least another five years,
beginning with the academic year

1955-56.
2. At the end of three years (the
fall of 1957) the football situation will
be thoroughly re-analyzed to determine whether or not the sport should
be continued.
3. Explorations will be made concerning the feasibility of forming an
athletic conference of schools within
an appropriate geographical area
offering a suitable level of competition.
Final decision on joining such a
conference will be made not later than
the fall of 1957.
4. A program will be instituted to
move most of the varsity football
games to Rotary Field on the campus
as rapidly as feasible. A few of the
home games will be played there in
the fall of 1955, the others at the
Civic Stadium. When and if funds are
available for enlarging the seating
capacity and improving the facilities
at Rotary Field, more of the games
will be moved there. In that case the
Civic Stadium will be used only when
unusually large crowds are anticipated.

5. From time to time further studies
will be made of the complete athletic
program, including all sports, both
intramural and intercollegiate.

was in Hankow when the Japanese captured the city in October of 1938.
He had expected to be there only six months, but the capture of the city
closed all exits and Mr. Beyer remained in Hankow for 18 months.
The pictures and coasters were advertisements of the Union Brewery
Company who were the manufacturers of the most popular beer in China.
The colors of the company's posters, incidentally, were blue and white.
We don't know if the Union Brewery is still turning out the kegs that
once made China smile, but if they are, you can be sure that their posters
are all red.

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

ABOUT THE COVER
Many individuals who contribute to the Alumni Loyalty Fund
may often wonder for what purposes their contributions are used.
The three people pictured on our cover, however, are well aware
of one of the most important applications of the money received by
the fund. Burt G. Weber, LLB'I9, president of the General Alumni
Board, is indicating to Francis Woidzik and Doris Linendoll, two
student recipients of Alumni Loyalty Fund Leadership Awards, the
Loyalty Fund Honor Plaque denoting the source of their awards.
We feel sure that all the contributors of the fund will be pleased
to know of their part in helping these and other deserving students.

A MESSAGE
Z/rom the Chancellor of the Ulniveriity:
To the Alumni:
America, in the mid-twentieth century, is just beginning to find its true
place in world history. As a nation, we are barely five generations old, but
I think we can say without boasting that within that period our progress has
been quite phenomenal as compared to any previous national performance.
The reasons back of this remarkable performance
if such it is
are
many. Certainly one of the major factors has been the willingness and eagerness of the average American to solve common problems by voluntary cooperative effort rather than waiting for a centralized control to force the issue. One
evidence of this spirit is our dual system of higher education. About half of
the colleges and the universities in the country are publicly supported, about
half are private. From the record this would appear to be a position of optimum strength and probably one which would be perilous to abandon.
This spirit of voluntary cooperative effort is certainly being exhibited by the fine performance of the University of Buffalo Alumni. One of the outstanding events of the past year has been the growth of the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education. This fund has now grown to over $100,000 per year and is still growing. It
is already proving to be extremely helpful in strengthening and enlarging the educational activities in the basic sciences
in our Medical School. This is reputed to be the best alumni performance of any medical school in the country
a
record of which we should all be proud.
The Dental Alumni are also more than well started on a Participating Fund of their own, having in a few short
weeks succeeded in getting annual pledges of well over one-half of their goal of $50,000 per year.
Another very significant indication of the rising tide of individual responsibility among both the Alumni and
non-Alumni of the region has been the increasing sums in the category of "special gifts". Many of these are in the
form of unrestricted funds, which of course are of the greatest use to the University, others are given with specifications for particular uses. They are all very helpful, indeed, and represent an important element of the true strength
of the University for the future.
It is not necessary, however, to be a giver of large gifts or a contributor to the special professional funds to
help the University in a very substantial degree. The aid to students comes in three categories—scholarships, leadership awards, and grants-in-aid. Any funds which enable us to attract students who are of top quality for both scholastic and extra-curricular achievement strengthen the academic body and, hence, the University as a whole. To any

(committee (chairman :

To the Alumni:
It is gratifying for a Fund Raising Committee to note a generous response. And
the past year has been favorable in that 3058 Alumni gave to various Funds at the University a total of 5250,491 for an average of SBO per donor.
However, if the 15,000 who did not give would send in a few dollars each, our
results would be phenomenal. We are as happy to receive two dollars as a thousand.
Too many Alumni just don't get around to sending a check, and if no one remembered there would be no report to give you. Fortunately, this is not true; hence the
excellent summary we have for you.
We thank you, and with a new Captain at our helm it really looks like the University is going
places, that is if we all support our new Chancellor financially. But this doesn't mean only one out of
every six Alumni.
Remember: part of the Loyalty Fund goes for Leadership Awards for outstanding students who
need help with their tuition.
The Medical Alumni have established the Annual Participating Fund which, in effect, replaces the
Medical division of the Alumni Loyalty Fund, and has now pledged $100 per man per year. The total
pledged so far is over 8100,000 per year for the School.
The Dental Alumni have a similar Fund to which 526,000 has already been pledged—and this Fund
has just been set up.
There is a very significant increase in the "Special Gifts" category. It should be pointed out that
these are special gifts and direct bequests by Alumni during the year. Have you remembered to include
the University of Buffalo in your will? Talk this point to your friends who would like to leave a permanent memorial when they pass on.
Two years ago we reminded you that the interest on a million dollars was S5 an hour. Most of us
can give some interest at least, on a huge gift.
Sincerely,

�By Way Of Explanation:
As most Medical and Dental alumni know, the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education and
the Annual Dental Education Participating Fund were
initiated during- the last year.
How do these Funds relate to the Alumni Loyalty
Fund?
In effect, they replace the Medical and Dental divisions of the Loyalty Fund.
Pledgors to the Medical and Dental Funds will no
doubt recall that the pledge card has the statement:
"Amounts paid to the Annual (Medical and Dental)
Participating Fund are also credited to the Alumni
Loyalty Fund".

5
(Especially

to

Meds and Dents)

In effect, then, as the solicitations for the Medical
and Dental Education Participating Funds "move out"
from the Western New York area to cover alumni
throughout the nation and in foreign countries, these
Medical and Dental Funds will replace the Medical and
Dental divisions of the Alumni Loyalty Fund.
How about the Mcd and Dent Class Agents then?
In most cases, these loyal workers for the University
have been recruited, or soon will be, as solicitors or
area workers for the Medical and Dental Education
Participating Funds. That's one of the reasons why
these Funds are proving to be the success they already
are!

Law School Holds
Taxation Seminar
Continuing a program of courses
for practicing attorneys, the University's Law School, in cooperation with
Erie County Bar Association, recently
held a series of courses dealing with
federal taxation.

�MEDAL AWARDED TO GOODYEAR
The alumni body of the University
was again substantially increased
when 205 candidates for certificates
and degrees were handed their "sheepskins" by Chancellor C. C. Furnas at
the University's annual Midyear Commencement exercises on February
22nd. The occasion was also a notable
one for Dr. Furnas since it marked
the first one over which he had presided as Chancellor.
Principal speaker at the ceremony
was Chancellor William P. Tolley of
Syracuse University who told the new
graduates that the pressure to make
Americans "think alike" is possibly a
greater threat to American democracy than is communism. Dr. Tolley
stressed that "America has more to
fear from those shaping the new
American orthodoxy than from the
handful of men and women promoting
the Marxist conspiracy".
One of the principal features of the
Commencement program was the
presentation of the University's Chancellor's Medal to one of Buffalo's most
distinguished sons, A. Conger Goodyear, nationally-recognized patron of
the fine arts. In awarding the medal
for the University, Chancellor Furnas
cited Mr. Goodyear especially for "his
work and accomplishment as an humanitarian, business and military
leader, student and patron of the arts,
and proponent and stimulator of
higher education".

It was Mr. Goodyear, currently a
resident of Long Island, who initiated
what has become an outstanding collection of modern sculpture at the Albright Art Gallery. He was also instrumental in establishing the Museum of Modern Art in New York
City and served as its first president
for ten years.
The Chancellor's Medal, established
in the will of the University's sixth
Chancellor, the late Charles P. Norton, is intended to cite those "who
personify civic patriotism and vivify
public service in the eyes of the citizens of Buffalo".

Student Winter
Carnival "Best Ever"
Highlighted by a fabulous snow
.sculpturing contest and a series of
novelty ski events, the University's
Annual Winter Carnival this year was

hailed as the best ever held in the
history of the event. Near zero temperatures and a plentiful supply of
that white stuff, which had been so
sadly lacking during previous years,
assured the necessary

conditions

for a

successful affair.

Dr. Turnas and Mr, Goodyear

Students Stage Opera
Students at the University, for
the first time in its history, will
present a completely staged and
costumed opera. Henry Purcell's
"Dido and Aeneas", will be produced by the Student Public Relations Committee of the Board
of Managers in conjunction with
the Departments of Drama,
Dance and Music on April 21,
22 and 23 in Norton Union auditorium.
Conducted by Herbert Beattie,
assistant professor of music, the
production will be staged by
James Bravar, instructor of
drama, with the choreography
directed by Mrs. Bertha M.
Pfeffer, instructor of dance.
Members of the cast include
Vivian Girard, soprano; Robert
Bauer, baritone; Dorothy Rosen
berger, soprano; William Wagner, bass; and Toni Packer,
mezzo-soprano.
Proceeds will be used to establish a scholarship to be awarded to a student entering the
College of Arts and Sciences in
the fall term. A special patrons'
list will be printed in the program. Patron's subscriptions are
$5.00 a person. Tickets are $1.00
for students and $1.75 for other
individuals. Inquiries concerning tickets and subscriptions
may be addressed to Mr. Herbert Beattie, Music Department,
University of Buffalo, Buffalo
14, New York.

-

The snow sculpturing contest, which
was held at the Thruway Plaza, featured a wide variety of contemporary
ice and snow art. Among the exhibits
were an old covered bridge, a swimming pool complete with frozen blue
water, diving board and shivering,
bathing-suit clad coeds. All of the
structures and figures entered in the
contest displayed a high degree of
ingenuity, artistic ability and just
plain hard work.

The novelty ski events which were
held on the campus were also warmly
applauded by all the participants and
spectators. One of the most enthusiastic spectators was Chancellor Clifford C. Furnas, who also tried his
hand at the "boards" during the
course of the activities. The fact that
these events were held on the campus
rather than elsewhere as in past years
appeared to be a good reason for the
added enjoyment of every individual
attending.

Education Placement
Service Has Several
Openings For Teachers
The Educational Placement
Service of the University would
like to assist its alumni who
wish to secure new positions.
Those who are interested in being considered for openings
should notify the Supervisor of
Educational Placement, Miss
Shirley Krafft, in the Office of
the Dean of Students, 192 Hayes
Hall. It is important to indicate
the type of position, salary, and
location which you desire, as
well as complete information
relative to your experience and
advanced training.

HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER &amp; SCIENCE BUILDINGS PROPOSED

Pictured above is the Health Sciences Center, in effect a South Wing

on Capen

Hall

Plans for a new Health Sciences
Center and a new home for the Physics Department were presented to the
Council of the University by Chancellor Clifford C. Furnas at a recent
Council meeting. The proposed structures make up an anticipated $2,578.-662 building program.
The new Health Sciences Center
will be built adjoining Capen Hall.
home of Medical-Dental School. It
will house the Schools of Pharmacy
and Nursing, the Department of Biology, and a new Cardiovascular Research Center. The preliminary plans
provide for a three-story structure
adjoining the south wing of Capen
Hall. Its estimated cost is $1,953,262.

A three-story Physics unit will be

built adjoining the present Science
Building, now known as Townsend
Hall. It would be built at the rear
of the Science Building facing Clark
Gymnasium. The unit would house
the Physics Department, releasing
classroom space now occupied by that
department in the Engineering Building. Hayes Hall, Foster Hall and the
present Biology Building.
Although Chancellor Furnas has
pointed out that the University has
no funds at present to erect the new
structures, it is understood that both
structures have high priority in any

plans for future building

UNIVERSITY HISTORY
Dr. Julian Park, Dean-Emeritus of the College of Arts and
Sciences and University Historian, will soon start work on a
history of the University. He
has expressed the hope that
alumni having material of value
such as letters, scrapbooks, and
pictures will donate or lend
them, through him, to the University, where every care will
be taken of them. Personal
reminiscences would also be of
great value. Please send any
such material to Dean Park at
237 Crosby Hall, University
Campus. He can also be reached
at UN. 9300, extension 53.

Hochstetter Makes
Substantial Gift
Design and planning1 of construction
for the new Physics Building will proceed immediately as a result of a gift
to the University of $182,625 by Mr.
Ralph Hochstetter, president of the
Cliff Petroleum Company and a director of the Manufacturers and Traders
Trust Company of Buffalo.
Chancellor C. C. Furnas, in announcing the gift, indicated that the money
will help pay for construction of the
proposed Physics Building and stated,
"We are immensely grateful to Mr.
Hochstetter for this gift. It will enable us to make a good start on the
building and we can proceed immediately with design and planning.
With this gift Mr. Hochstetter has
given us a fine start and we hope the
building will be a reality before too
long. There is a very great need
for it."

Tuition Credit On
U. S. Income Taxes

Med Fund Noted
In A.M.A. Journal

A proposed amendment to the Federal Income Tax Law is now before
the Congress of the United States providing for a credit on tax bills, for the
individual taxpayer, of 30% of the
tuition paid to institutions of higher
education.
Mounting costs have created a desperate financial crisis in higher education today. Unbalanced budgets,
low faculty salaries, and long-delayed
plant maintenance are all results of
this inflationary situation. As a result, most colleges and universities
have found it necessary to compensate by imposing part of the burden
on students and their families in the
form of higher tuition rates and increased charges. These increased
charges have proved extremely burdensome and have made it impossible,

Dental Fund
Half-way To Goal

The Annual Participating Fund for
Medical Education has received national attention through publication of
an article describing the Fund and its
purposes in the March 12th issue,
Journal of the American Medical Association.

Although still in its early stages,
the Annual Dental Education Participating Fund is enjoying unprecedented
success.

at times, for parents to give their
children the benefit of a college edu-

cation.
The proposed amendment, sponsored by the American Council on
Education, is designed to alleviate, in
some measure, this prohibitive finan-

cing. It is felt that a substantial program of tax-relief given for student
fees and tuition would enable many
families to re-evaluate their financial
position in terms of establishing a
feasible budget for the payment of

their children's education.
The essential features of the amendment are:
a. It would be limited to payments
made to the institutions themselves
for educational services and facilities.
It will not cover payments for housing, travel and meals.
b. Only those payments made to taxfree educational institutions, as defined
by the Federal Income Tax Law,
would be considered for credit.
c. It would apply only to higher education, that above the twelfth grade,
including colleges and graduate
schools.
d. It provides that 30% of the student fees would be taken as a tax
credit on the tax bill. The 30% must
not exceed $450.
c. There need be no specific blood
relationship between the taxpayer
claiming the tax credit and the student whose tuition is being paid. It
is hoped that this will result in the
establishment of more scholarship
funds by individuals who have no
blood relationship to any particular
student but who do have a philanthropic interest in their progress.

Titled "Medical School Support and
the Physician", the article relates how
the Participating Fund was conceived
and initiated at the University of Buffalo. It goes on to tell of the amazing
response to the Fund appeal and purposes by Medical alumni and nonalumni physicians in the Western New
York area.
Just prior to the publication of the
article, on February 22nd, the first
annual meeting of the membership
of the Fund was held at Capen Hall.
The Chancellor, Dean of the School
of Medicine, and the Treasurer of the
University addressed the meeting and
told of how the fu»ds raised during
the initial year of the Fund had been
used to engage more basic science
faculty and to raise salaries of current members of the basic science
departments. Also at this meeting,
Edgar C. Beck, MD'l9, was re-elected
chairman of the Executive Committee
of the Fund.
Dr. Beck, in leading the Fund into
its second year, noted that more than
$100,000 had been pledged so far and

that during 1955 the solicitation would
be extended to contact alumni
throughout the nation.

—

In only three report meetings
covering a five-week period
dental
alumni and members of the dental
profession in Buffalo and Western
New York area have brought the Fund
more than half-way to its goal of
$50,000 pledged annually. At the third
meeting, more than $25,000 was the
total reported pledged.

—

This figure means that more than
250 dental alumni and fellow dentists
in Western New York are pledging
$100 a year to guarantee the future
of independent dental education at the
University.

Chairman Edward F. Mimmack,
DDS'2I, announced that the Executive
Committee of the Fund will arrange
for a bronze placque to be erected in
the lobby of Dental School, listing the
names of those pledging $100 a year
in the first year of the Fund's operation.

Dr. Mimmack also announced that
the Niagara Falls, Olean, Lockport,
Batavia, and New York City areas
have been organized for solicitation.
Hesaid other centers of dental alumni
residence also would be organized
within the next two months. Dental
alumni residing in more removed cities
and sections will be contacted later
by mail so that they, too, may participate.

New Foundation
Names University
As Beneficiary

United Steelworkers
Establish Scholarship

The University has been named
beneficiary of a new Buffalo foundation established by Edwin F. Jaeckle,
LLB'IS, attorney and former Erie
County Republican chairman, and
David Abrams, president of Liberty
Shoe Stores, Inc. Terms of the deed
and trust agreement, filed recently in
the Erie County Clerk's Oflice, indicate that the University will receive
the income from the property at 442
Main Street, occupied by Morrison's
Inc. The deed revealed that the principal of the foundation is valued at
$435,000.

A scholarship valued at more than
$2700 has been established at the University by the local United Steelworkers of America, CIO. It is believed
to be the first scholarship set up by a
labor group in this area. Terms of
the scholarship agreement provide
that the grant is open to any member
of the local or the son or daughter of
any member. John Walczak, local
steelworkers' president, in announcing
the scholarship, indicated that it is a
general one and may be used in any
undergraduate division of the University.

Offenhamer Appointed
Head Football Coach

Chancellor Clifford C. Furnas recently announced the appointment of
Malcolm S. Eiken as Assistant Director of Athletics. Mr. Eiken, who is
varsity basketball coach and an assistant professor of education in the
School of Education, will be charged
with the responsibility for co-ordinating certain activities of the University's athletic department and admissions' office in implementing the new
athletic program of the University.

Mr. Eiken attended the University
of Minnesota where he received his
bachelor of science degree in 1936
and master of education degree in
1947. He was formerly director of
athletics at Northeast Missouri State
Teachers College at Kirksville, Missouri, prior to joining the faculty of
the University. He is marriedand has
two daughters.

"Jumpin' Jim" Horne
Plays Last Game
Led for the last tune by "Jumpin'
Jim" Home, most prolific scorer in
the annals of basketball at the University, the University's cage team
closed out one of its finest seasons by
trouncing Buffalo State Teachers College, 84-74. The "Eikenmen" posted
a formidable 16-6 seasonal record.
Home paved the way to victory
over State with 32 points and ended
his playing career by re-writing the
record books at the University. Some
of the records which stand beside his
name include the highest season scoring record of 572 points; an individual career total of 1857 points; and
most points ever scored in one game
by a player, 41 points against the
University of Rochester.
An excellent student and top allaround athlete, "Jumpin' Jim" has remained a quiet, unassuming individual
despite the honors heaped upon him
during his illustrious varsity career.
His exemplary conduct, both on and
off the basketball court, have made
him one of the University's mostpopular representatives and his activities
generally have reflected great credit on
the University. Not many people were
aware of the effort, and time "Jim"
has expended on younger boys in
coaching and encouraging their basketball careers. His efforts were rewarded in part recently when he was

Richard W, Offenbamer
Dick Offenhamer is the new football coach at the University. Appointment of the former Bennett High
School and Colgate University star
was announced last month by Chancellor Clifford C. Furnas.
Mr. Offenhamer succeeds Dr. Fritz
Febel, who resigned recently after
three seasons as head coach of the
Bulls. Dr. Febel stated that his resignation was due to his desire to devote
full time to his professorship in health
studies.
The new coach formerly starred in
football as a halfback and in baseball
as a catcher both at Bennett High
School in Buffalo and at Colgate University.
After graduation from Colgate in
1936, Mr. Offenhamer accepted the
position of teacher of English and
head football coach at Kenmore High
School. From 1936 through 1946 his
teams won fifty games, tied two and
lost five. For the last eight years he
has been head coach of freshman
football and an instructor in physical
education at Colgate University.

named recipient of one of the first
annual Brotherhood Athletic Awards
by the National Conference of Christians and Jews in Buffalo.
Everyone views with regret the end
of a marvelous playing career, but
the University points with pride to
"Jumpin' Jim" Home, student, athlete
and civic-minded citizen.

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

ABOUT THE COVER
THE CATCHER DROPPED THE BALL.
The look of anguish on the face of the catcher is completely
justified. The score is tied at 2 all. Last of the ninth, two men out

and one man on base. Joe Girard, University of Buffalo right fielder,
dances off second base. The pitch comes in and with the crack
of the bat Girard heads for home. The ball is whipped toward the
plate and the crowd roars, "Slide, Joe, slide." The ball and Girard
arrived at the plate together and the result is shown on our cover.
Final score University of Buffalo 3, Canisius 2. We felt sure that the
alumni would like to share, with the team, this moment of triumph.

SEVEN QUESTIONS
The Commencement Address of Chancellor C. C. Furnas
Commencement Day is frequently
the time when the older generation
tries to evade its responsibilities by
throwing the torch of civilization to
the younger. The presentations are
usually laced with a full quota of admonishments and good advice, which
often fall on unwilling ears. Despite
these multitudinous perennial passings, the torch of civilization still
seems to remain alight and alive. It
is mypurpose, in taking what I trust
will not be too many minutes, to uphold the tradition by posing seven
inter-related questions.
Item I
One of the monumental efforts in
the writing of history has been completed recently by Dr. Arnold J. Toynbee, of the University of London, in
the form of a multi-volume "A Study
of History". Although there is some
argument in professional circles as to
the acceptability of his treatment, it
is certainly true that he has given us
one of the most comprehensive views
of the social forces and major trends
which make up the story of what we
call civilization. He delineates the rise
and decadence of twenty different
civilizations on which we have substantial written or physical evidence.
One might judge from this that history will inevitably repeat itself and
that modern-day Western civilization
is destined for a decline and fall. But
it may be premature to assume that
we are doomed. Dr. Toynbee has
pointed out that something new has
been added
an emotional situation
which is now being evidenced on a
world-wide scale. In a relatively recent article he expresses the opinion
that the 20th century will not be remembered for world wars, or the
automobile, the airplane, antibiotics,
or even nuclear energy, but rather for
"... having been the first age since
the dawn of civilization, some five or
six thousand years back, in which
people dared to think it practicable to
make the benefits of civilization available for the whole human race".
QUESTION No. I—Will it be physically and emotionally possible to
accommodate this rising ambition of
the human race?
Itemll
Due in large measure to the effective and humanitarian work of the
medical profession in saving lives, the

—

QUESTION No. 3—Can we adapt
expand our knowledge of science,

and

technology and sociology rapidly
enough to meet the needs of the everincreasing population?

Item 111
Our physical existence depends upon
the resources which are available to
us thousands of items in various
categories of food, water, energy and
minerals. Even now shortages are beginning to appear and make themselves felt. For instance, when the
Mesabi Range in Minnesota came into
use a half century ago, it was thought
that there would be sufficient high
grade iron ore there to last America
for many centuries. But the use of
iron has increased so rapidly that by
the mid-20th century the higher
grades of Mesabi ore are already almost gone. This has been a major
reason why the St. Lawrence Seaway
has finally been accepted as a necessary pathway for bringing ore to the
Great Lake ports from Labrador and
other outside sources.
In the western half of the United
States, and in many other parts of the
which is one of outworld, water
most necessary natural resources —is
already in short supply.
The support of more and more people with a higher standard of living
requires an ever-increasing degree of
industrialization. This calls for rapidly
increasing amounts of energy which,
to date, we are largely taking from
the fossil fuels—coal, oil and gas. The
curve of energy use is rising with extreme rapidity. The United States,
which has only a little more than 6f/r
of the world's population, utilizes
almost 507cof the total energy of the
world and correspondingly produces
and uses almost one-half of the industrial goods and services. If the other
94% of the people of the world should
be able suddenly to rise to our own
level of industrial production, the demand for energy would be immediately increased by almost tenfold.
Many trends indicate that the bona
fide energy needs of the world a century hence may very well be almost a
hundred-fold greater than at present.
The fossil fuels—coal, oil and gas—
will not, by any stretch of the imagination, be able to supply this need.
Balanced against this picture of depletion of energy is the fact that we

...

world is now in a period of population expansion which can be characterized as explosive. The rate of
population increase is far greater than
it has ever been before, and the evidence is that the high rate of increase
will continue for many years to come.
At the present time there are about
2,400,000,000 people living on the surface of the earth and the net increase
is almost 100,000 human beings every
day. A century hence, unless some
great catastrophe intervenes, which
we do not now foresee, the world
population will be at least 6,000,000,---000. In the Continental United States
the present population is about 165,---000,000 and a century hence (only
three generations away) it will be at
least 375,000,000. This is almost a
250% increase. No social forces are
in sight which will stop or reverse
this trend.
We are already faced with many
pressures resulting from these rising
numbers. It is estimated that fully
half the population of the world is
malnourished, and many millions are
on the verge or in the throes of starvation. In America we do not worry
as much about starvation as we do
about where to park our cars, but
there are many population-pressure
problems, even here.
In my opinion, it should be physically possible to supply the adequate
means for the existence of these great
numbers of people, but it is problematical whether we will make necessary sociological advances in time to
prevent extremely serious upheavals.

leges and universities. This poses
very serious and continuing problems.
We also have quantitative problems.
Within the next fifteen years in the
United States the number who will
be knocking at the doors of the academic halls of the colleges and universities will practically double.

Item VI
began in September
1939 and, more or less, formally ended
in August 1945. The dominant factor
in this greatest-of-all armed conflicts
was the impact of air power. In the
span of six years the Allied Air
Forces, using many thousands of airplanes, dropped almost two million
tons of bombs on enemy targets.
Those bombs contained about a million tons of high explosives. Less than
two years ago on an atoll in the Pacific a so-called hydrogen bomb, which
might have been carried by one airplane and delivered to a single target,
was exploded. It reputedly had an explosive power twenty times greater
than all of the bombs dropped by both
the British and American air forces
in the six years of World War 11. I
can leave to your own imagination
the picture of the destruction that
would probably be wrought in a
World War in if both we and the
Soviet Union were equipped with an
adequate supply of hydrogen bombs.
World War II

are now beginning to learn to use
nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
The amount of power locked in the
atoms which we can use, after we
have developed the appropriate knowledge, is many times greater than that
in the fossil fuels. Furthermore,
30.000 times as much energy as we
are currently using falls on the earth
each year in the form of sunlight. We
do not know how to use it with any
acceptable degree of efficiency as yet,
but the supply is there, waiting for
human cleverness to put it to work.

QUESTION No. 3—Can the world

advance rapidly enough, scientifically
and sociologically, to make full and

wise use of our natural resources in
this and succeeding generations?
Item IV
In 1769 James Watt in England received his first patent on an improved
steam engine.

Subsequently, steam

power was adapted to manufacturing
processes and the sociological development known as the Industrial Revolution was well under way. Although
the Industrial Revolution is usually
considered as something which was
completed in western Europe in a
generation or two, it is my contention
that it is just now getting well
started. We see the evidence of that
in the rise within the last few months
of a new term—"automation". Automation is merely a new word which
is used as a label for the industrial
processes wherein machines are used
to operate or even build the machines
which produce consumers' goods and
services. There are those who fear
that a rapid rise of automation will
lead to wide-spread technological unemployment. But careful analysis

shows that there will actually be more
opportunities for employment. The
kinds of jobs will change, but the
total number will not decrease and
the productivity per worker will rise
rapidly. If one lets his imagination
roam, he can see tremendous potential benefits in terms of higher standards of living, more leisure, a better
lifefor all people.

QUESTION' No. 4—Can we make
the sociological and economic adjustments which are implicit in carrying
the Industrial Revolution to its logical
conclusions by the full utilization of
the principles of automation?
Item V
It is obvious from the few situations I have already outlined, and
others which you could readily add,
that civilization is becoming quite
complicated. This has a had a major
impact, particularly during- the last
half century, in the field of education.
In order to have the adequate background for good citizenship and for
appreciating life, and for earning a
living, it has been found necessary to
maintain an ever-rising level of formal education. This is reflected in our
own legal requirements for compulsory education through secondary
schools and in the ever-increasing
proportion of individuals who find it
highly desirable, or even necessary,
to go to college. Since education
should serve the purposes of the next
generation, rather than the past (an
item which many persons of this generation seem to overlook), we find
ourselves in a continuous quandary
about the appropriate curriculum
make-up and environmental conditions necessary for present-day col-

QUESTION No. 6—Can World War
111 be avoided?
Item VII
The previous six questions are
merely prologue to my seventh and
final one. If I may refer again to Dr.
Toynbee and remind you that he has
outlined the rise and fall of twenty
civilizations of the past, the final
question is obvious.

—

Will Western
QUESTION No. 7
civilization be No. 21 on the list of
those which entered the race but
failed to finish ?
You may have either of two reactions to the questions I have posed.
The first, and perhaps the most probable, is one of complete indifference.
You may not deny the validity of the
questions and the implied problems
but may say: well those are things

.

�for someone else to worry about. Besides I couldn't do anything- about
them anyway.

This path of indifference would be
easiest one to take but it would

the

probably lead to results that would be
far from indifferent. If everyone ignores the problems involved, and simply lets human nature take its course
in random fashion, history will record
that we arrived at a set of answers
which were far from the best.

An alternate reaction which some
of you may adopt is a frantic feeling
that doom is upon
of desperation
us and that we must do something;—
spelled in capital letters—though we
are not sure what. But if a substantial portion of the people adopted the
frantic approach to international
affairs, it would be analogous to attempting delicate surgery with a
meat axe—the results would probably
be fatal.

....

Since we are presumably reasonable
people, I would like to leave with you
the suggestion that the most appropriate and wisest course is somewhere
between the two extremes. Middle-ofthe-road policies are often lacking in
glajnor, but in the long run they are
frequently the most effective. Such a
pattern of thought and action in a
democratic society necessarily embodies what I like to call collective intelligence. We must recognize, of
course, that it takes much more than
pure intellect to answer social questions. Great problems involving many
people are usually handled in an atmosphere of high emotion and the
participants often show but little
evidence of being rational human beings. But, even though it acts slowly,
it is certainly true that intelligence
can and does have some influence in
shaping mass emotions. It is in this
slow modification of mass emotional
patterns that the average college
graduate can and should p-lay a continuing role, within his own sphere of
influence.
College graduates certainly have no
monopoly on intelligence but. on the
average, they are the better equipped
by nature and nurture to be the leaders of thought and action. This is
especially true if they have absorbed
an appropriate amount of that body
of knowledge which comes under the
category of the liberal arts. I trust
that the education you have received
here has been sufficiently basic, sufficiently broad and sufficiently liberal
so that you may all be good citizens

as well as professionally proficient
men and women.
I am fully aware that all of you who
are graduating today will, for some
time to come, and for the most part,
be rightly concerned with quite personal problems in which the earning
of a living will take a most dominant
position. This is good. It is one of the
things that has made America great
because, from the beginning of our
history, the average American has
accepted the responsibility for the
welfare of himself and his family and
has not followed the easy path of letting someone else worry about it.
May this feeling of individual responsibility ever continue. But, over and
above these individual problems, are
those paramount and still unanswered
questions which involve all aspects of
the world we live in. You cannot
escape them, even on an atoll in the
Pacific. Your physical welfare, your
own enjoyment of life, the well-being
of your children will depend on how
wisely these questions are met and
answered in the not-distant future. If
the decision is left to a dictator, the
answers will probably be wrong and
very unpalatable. Satisfactory answers can only come from collective
intelligence
and collective intelligence is not compiled by a lot of other
people. It is formed by you, your
family and your associates. It is particularly important that the collective
answers arrived at in the United
States be approximately correct because, whether we like it or not, we
are now in the dominant world position, politically and economically.
Leadership has its grave responsibilities.

—

I will make no attempt to delineate
ways and means for individuals to
make their intellects effective in national and international affairs. The
paths, are many, varied and everchanging. To the individual who is
well-informed, alert and willing, many
spheres of influence will keep opening
up. Trying to do something about it,
even in a modest way, will often require a high degree of moral and

—

spiritual stamina
and sometimes
courage. I trust that your college
years have helped you to acquire or
maintain these sterling virtues.

As you can see, I do not know the
answers to any of my own questions
and I am led to believe that neither
does anyone else. But every graduating class in 1955, here and elsewhere,
will inevitably play an important role
by either ignoring the questions or
trying to do something about the answers. So, as a representative of the
older generation, as I proceed with
the annual passing of the torch, I do
so with an earnest plea—that your
education never cease, that you cultivate and maintain an interest in these
serious social problems of the world
we live in, that whenever opportunity
is afforded you bend your wills, your
intelligence and your spirit toward
seeking the better solutions. May you
all have the rich, fruitful and enjoyable lives of which you have often
dreamed and may you frequently have
that additional

glow of satisfaction

which will come when you have contributed something to finding the
better answers to the questions which
face you, your family, your country
and your civilization.

Inaugurated by
Law Alumni
A memorial to fifty years of devoted
teaching in the University's School of
Law was dedicated with the inauguration of the Carlos C. Alden Scholarship Fund. A committee of attorneys
met recently in the office of Jacob D.
Hyman, dean of the School of Law,
to formulate plans for the fund, honoring the former dean, and to establish the charter for the Fund.
The organizing committee has set
these goals in the charter: I—To provide financial assistance to students
of demonstrated character and ability
who, without such help, would be un-

able

to become members of the bar.
2—To support other activities which
will increase the effective contribution
of the Law School, through scholar-

ships for legal research, establishing

lectures and providing assistance to
the bar and bench in the testing and
development of methods for improving the administration of justice.
Lester S. Miller, LLB'32, and William R. Brennan. LLB'4B, are cochairmen of the Fund Committee.

Kluckhohn Named
Aide to Offenhamer

Spring Football Practice

Jim Feelle, Director of Athletics at
the University, announced the appointment of Karl Kluckhohn, former
Colgate University grid star as chief
assistant to head football coach Dick
Offenhamer.
The 24-year-old native of Springvine, New York served as assistant
coach at St. Lawrence. University the
past two years. Kluckhohn, rated as
one of the greatest offensive ends in
Red Raider annals, rewrote the record
books of the Eastern Intercollegiate
Football Association in 1951, his senior year. Karl caught 45 passes for
a total of 816 yards. He was named
to the United Press All-East team and
received All-America mention from
several recognized selection bodies.
He was also selected to perform in the
East-West Shrine game in San Francisco, Calif, and performed outstandingly.

He is marriedand the father of one
son. Kluckhohn assumed his duties at
the beginning of the recent spring
football practice.

Burr Appointed
Sports Publicity Director
Head coach, Dick Offenbamer. drills prospective candidates during the

recent spring

practice.

Last April 18 Dick Offenhamer, new
head coach of football at the University of Buffalo, addressed the Bull's
fifty man squad at the opening of
spring practice in the following
manner.
"Football is a serious game. I intend that it should be treated seriously at all times and not just on
game Saturdays in the fall. It's hard
work and we shall work hard each
day we are on the field for as long as
practice lasts. If any of you are inclined to treat the sport as a lark, our
football association will be a brief
one."
Twenty days and a dozen rugged
contact sessions later the final practice session was over and Offenhamer's admonition had been thoroughly
born out. For this had proved to be
a deadly serious spring practice, one
that featured nothing but hard,
strength sapping, brain wearying
work.

-

-

The lack of depth in the interior
line proved the outstanding weakness
to be brought out during the intensified drill period. The Bulls had some
good football talent up front, but not
quite enough of it to suit the coaching
staff.
On the other hand, the practice sessions uncovered a number of excellent
ends and U. B. could be very well
fortified at the flanks next fall.
Overall the picture appears brighter
than it has in several seasons. Spirit
and desire to win are in oversupply
among squad members. If the ability
to operate successfully from the complicated and colorful split-T can come
close to keeping pace, the University
of Buffalo is a cinch to take a giant
size stride along the road back to
football prominence.
For as Offenhamer puts it, "we
won't enter into any game on our
schedule with any idea but that we've
got a good chance to win."

Director of Athletics Jim Peelle,
recently announced the appointment
of Charles Burr to the position of
Director of Sports Publicity and
Sports Promotion. Burr, a 28-year-old
resident of Kenmore, recently resigned as sports director of station
WXRA in Kenmore.
In making the announcement, Mr.
Peelle stated that the former State
Teachers' basketball star would be responsible for all publicity and promotion pertaining to the athletic program at the University.
A graduate of Kenmore High
School, Mr. Burr received a bachelor
of science degree in education from
Buffalo State Teachers College in
January, 1950. He then joined the announcing staff of station WHLD in
Niagara Falls prior to assuming the
sports directorship at WXRA in May
1950. Mr. Burr served with the 17th
Airborne Division during World War
11. He participated in three campaigns in the European Theatre of
Operations, making a total of 13parachute jumps.
He is married to the former Julia
Hogan of Sherburne, New York and
has two children.

Final Sports Review
The University of Buffalo spring
sports representatives have completed
their most successful campaign in
many years. The baseball, track and
tennis teams have, among them, rung
up an eye-popping record of victories
to-date, and the success of each is already assured. Among them the diamond, court and thin-clad Bulls have
won 29 games, meets and matches as
opposed to but four losses.
Bill Sanford's tennis team, paced by
the brilliant Al Levy and Captain
Mike Kisiel, pounded out ten straight
victories before they were beaten by
Colgate University, one of the powerhouses of the east.. The racqueteers,
in addition, lost but a dozen individual
contests while winning over 90. Sanford and company have victimized
Erie County Tech, Rochester University, St. Bonaventure, Alfred, Brockport State, Niagara, and Rochester,
Buffalo State, Niagara, and Erie
County Tech for the second time.
The baseball team, coached by Jim
Peelle, has powered its heavy-hitting

and tight pitching to a remarkable
13-2 record with one game remaining.
With shortstop Dick Stuck, outfielders Jim Home and Kelly Rosenbaum
and third baseman Norm Pyzikiewicz
performing brilliantly at bat and in

the field, and

with right-hander Ed
Anderson bell-weathering the pitching
staff, the University team has knocked
over Erie County Tech twice, St.
Bonaventure twice, Rochester Tech a
pair, Predonia, Brockport State, Rochester U., Niagara and Canisius. The
victory over Niagara avenged an
earlier defeat by the Eagles but Fredonia took advantage of a series of
mis-cues on the part of the Bulls to
avenge their earlier defeat. Only
Rochester U. remains to be played before the final curtain rings down.
Coach Emery Fisher's track squad
with co-captains Jack Elliott and Bob
Jagodzinski, as well as sophomore
sensation Lowell Petties, carrying the
lion's share of the point-getting burden won five of its seven dual, triangular and quadangular meets. The
trackmen romped over Canisius,
Brockport, Buffalo State and Niagara
in dual competition, and they won the
quadangular University of Buffalo
Invitational for the third year in a
row besting Buffalo State, Niagara
and Canisius. The only track defeats
were suffered at the hands of Cortland
and Alfred in a triangular meet and
at the hands of the University of
Rochester in a triangular meet where
they again beat Niagara.

Dingboom Re-appointed
Varsity Line Coach

Home, Elliott Honored At
Athletic Awards Banquet

Re-appointment of Charles Dingas line coach of the University's
football team was recently announced
by Jim Peelle, director of athletics.
Dingboom served similarly with Fritz
Febel the past three seasons following:
an outstanding career as a player at
the University. He now joins the new
football staff of Dick Offenhainer and
Karl Kluckhohn in a concerted effort
to raise the stature of football at the
University following several very lean
and frustrating seasons.
A gridiron student of great perception, Dingboom is rated a top exponent of both offensive and defensive
line play. His knowledge of returning
members of last year's varsity is sure
to be of tremendous value to Offenhamer and Kluckhohn, neither of
whom had an opportunity to see the

Hayes auditorium as it looks now.

Hayes Hall
To Be Renovated
The stately clock tower of
Hayes Hall on the University
campus will be a beacon by
night, as it is by day, when the
installation of a system of floodlighting is completed in the near
future. Hayes Hall was one of
the original buildings on the
106 acre tract when the University acquired it from the County
Almshouse and Hospital in 1909.
Formerly the building served as
a hospital. Today it is the ad-

ministrative

center of the

Uni-

versity, housing the offices of
the Chancellor and other University officials as well as class-

rooms.
Chairman of the Building and
Grounds Committee of the University Council Karr Parker,
has indicated that the floodlighting is only one phase of a
program to improve the building. By September Ist, the old
auditorium on the third floor
will have been torn out to make
way for nine classrooms. Classroom lighting throughout the
building is being modernized.

In anticipation of future expansion of the campus, test borings are being taken to determine the depth of rock formations, Mr. Parker said. Passers-

by have expressed curiosity over
the activity.

AFROTC Ball and Awards Ceremony

Nuclear Center Study
Approved By
Atomic Energy Commission
The Atomic Energy Commission has
given the University permission to
make a study of the feasibility of
constructing a nuclear research center at the University of Buffalo. The
plan as outlined by Mr. James Evans,
special assistant to the Chancellor, is
designed to concentrate nuclear research on the campus and to provide
a research center for the University
and various industries of the Niagara
Frontier on a participating basis.

Chancellor Fitrnas installs Miss Kaaren Heim as Queen of the AFROTC Ball as Mrs,
Furnas and Lt. Col, Ard applaud enthusiastically.

F-80 Shooting Stars soared over the
University campus to open the University's Air Force ROTC Awards
Ceremony in Clark Memorial Gymnasium. 600 cadets stood at rigid attention as the dignitaries and guests
were ushered into the Gymnasiumfor
the start of the pageantry. Cadet
Colonel Leonard B. Strong was master of ceremonies of the program
which saw the 25-member drill team
the Detachment perform for the
audience. Awards to various cadets
were presented by a number of the
honored guests. Cadet Colonel James
T. Gatza carried off the two top
awards for the Wing. He received the
Lawrence D. Bell Award as the outstanding graduate and for meritorious academic and military achievements. He also received the Chancellor's Award for superior academic
and military achievement.
The Annual AFROTC Ball was presided over by Miss Kaaren Heim, honorary Wing Commander.

The proposed facility will consist of
a nuclear research reactor of standard design and construction, housed
in a building on campus. Provision
will be made for the handling and
use of other sources of radiation such
as radio-isotopes and for appropriate
facilities designed to carry on a substantial research program.
The entire center is to be organized
as a separate non-profit corporation
owned by the University and financed
primarily through investments made
by sponsoring companies located in
the area. The University has established a scientific resources committee,
composed of various members of the
University faculty, which has drawn
a plan of purposes and research aims
which it hopes will coincide with the
desires and research programs of the
various local companies which have
been contacted to participate in the
plan.

Law Students Aid

Federal Attorney
Three University law students were
sworn in recently as legal assistants
to the U. S. Attorney by Federal
Judge John Knight. It was part of a
new program to give law students
practical experience in Federal Court
work.
The three men, two seniors and a
junior, have been chosen for their
demonstrated ability, top grades in
the School of Law and their loyalty,
said U. S. Attorney John O. Henderson. They will work without compensation for about ten hours a week,
doing legal and factual research and
helping prepare cases for trial.
Given the oath were Howard L.
Meyer, 11, a junior and Ward G.
Smith and Irwin E. Ginsberg, seniors.

Mr. Evans emphasized the fact that
there will be no danger to the surrounding area in the construction of
a research center on campus. The
Atomic Energy Commission has established the most stringent and carefully drawn requirements to insure
that a reactor of this type can not
be harmful in any way. These requirements include descriptions of surrounding areas, geographic measurements, soil formations, weather reports for the proposed construction
area and many other types of data
which must be approved as suitable
by the Commission before construction might commence.
In view of the progress that has
been made, the future of the center
looks fairly optimistic, and is dramatic evidence of the forward steps
being taken by the University to be
of service to the people of the Niagara Frontier.

Moving-Up-Day Presents
Spectacular Pageantry
Nature smiled on the University of
Buffalo, as a bright sun shone on the
day-long festivities of Moving-UpDay. No traces of the dark rain
clouds, which earlier threatened to
mar the activities, were present as the
long parade of colorful floats wended
its way down Buffalo's Main Street to
the University campus.
The parade, led by the honorary
grand marshal, Chancellor Clifford C.
Furnas, was watched by thousands of
spectators. The University's AFROTC
Band provided a musical background
for the spectacle. Buffalo Police escorted the procession to the reviewing
stand in front of Lockwood Memorial
Library where the judges inspected
each float to determine the prize-winning entry. First prize was awarded
to the Blue Masquers, student dramatic group, for their float captioned
"County Seat".
The presentation of Miss Judy Dwor
as the 1955 Moving-Up-Day Queen
climaxed the Sweetheart Review on
the steps of Norton Union. Charles
Percival, vice-president of the General
Alumni Board, addressed the student
body in Clark Gymnasium on the significance of Moving-Up-Day.

Welcome Week
Introduces University
A week-long program designed to
acquaint prospective students with
the University and its faculty *vas recently held on the University campus
and met with such success that it
promises to be repeated each year.
Over 500 high school pupils from
western New York and Pennsylvania
took part in the program which involved guided tours of the campus;
luncheon with University students;
and meetings with the deans and
faculty members of the various divisions in which the students had been
tentatively accepted. The program
was established by the Student Public Relations Committee in cooperation with the Office of the Dean of
Students.

Plans Disclosed For
Fine Arts Center

Honorary Dental Group
Installs New Members

The University administration recently disclosed that construction of a
new fine arts center on the University
campus might possibly begin in the
spring of 1956. It was explained, however, that as yet no funds are available for the building and that any
date for the start of construction is
one of conjecture and cannot be realized until such funds are forthcoming.

This year four members of the
graduating class of the Dental School
of the University have been selected
for membership in Omicron Kappa
Upsilon, a national honorary society
for members of the dental profession.
The installation banquet was recently
held at the Buffalo Trap and Field
Club. Principal speaker was Dr. Clifford C. Furnas, Chancellorof the University.

Preliminary sketches for the new
building are being drawn up by Paul
Schweikher, a private architect and
professor of architecture at Yale
University. Arrangements for his
work were made privately and not by
the University.

Omicron Kappa was organized in
1914 and at the present time there

Chancellor Clifford C. Furnas asserted, "Mr. Schweikher is making

a

study of the locations and functions
for a fine-arts center which will in-

clude

both

drama

and music,

but the

project is by no means fully financed."
Dr. Furnas promised, "Plans for a
fine-arts center will not interfere with
plans and financing of other parts of
the University. We are trying to advance on all fronts as rapidly as pos-

sible."

are chapters in every recognized dental school in the United States. To be
selected for membership the students

of their class and considered to
possess qualities for future professional growth and achievement. Members of this year's graduating class
honored include Salvadore Fred Sansone, A.

AbouttheCover
The silent moccasin step of "where once the Indian Trod" has

been replaced by the brogan of the steelworker, the noise of the
air-hammer and the steady beat of the riveting machine. Pictured
on our cover is another great stride the University of Buffalo is
making along the road of progress. Over this area, the new home
of the physics department, Hochstetter Hall,will soon reach its way
toward the sky. Costing $750,000, this building will contain all
the newest equipment and provide the most modern devices for
research. This is more dramatic evidence of theforward steps being
taken by your University to be of service to the people of the
Niagara Frontier.

�The University's
Changing Face
by

DR. T. W. VAN ARSDALE, JR.
Director of University
Development and Planning

Van Arsdale, BA '38, MA '40, EdD '54

Alumni and friends of the University
who have visited Campus recently have
been very generous in their praise of its
"new look."

Physically, the Campus is becoming
more beautiful and more impressive almost day by day. For this, much credit is
due indeed to the efficient and imaginative maintenance department. Then, too,
the addition of the many varieties of
flowering crab trees made possible by the
Women's Club bids fair to make of the
Campus a veritable showpJace. The completed remodeling of the auditorium of
Hayes Hall into classrooms and the redecoration of Hayes Hall Lobby into a
most impressive memorial to donors to
the University are other examples of the
changing face of our University Campus.
Actually, these are but few of the many
items which are part and parcel of the

University's planning and progress toward the realization of adequate and impressive physical surroundings and facilities which will make possible caring for

twice the present number of students
within the next dozen years.

An important and initial step in this
planning now being realized is the construction of Hochstetter Hall, the new
Physics Building, which is now being
erected adjacent to the old Science Building. Other vital building needs which
must be satisfied soon include a Health
Sciences Center, which will house the
School of Pharmacy, the School of Nursing, and the Biology Department of the
College of Arts and Sciences; a Nuclear
Research Center; a Women's Dormitory
Unit; a new Service Building, and addi-

tional classroom buildings.
These facilities will be planned so that
they are flexible and therefore capable of
being adapted, if necessary, without
major reconstruction in taking care of
changing educational functions. Such
buildings will be placed so that Campus
travel distance for normal student activities will remain minimal and so that we
can retain as much of the beauty of the
Campus as possible.
In other words, we shall strive for the
optimum combination of utilitarianism
and aesthetics. Most important, however,
is the fact that the University administration sees these physical facilities for
what they are: structures and environment which facilitate and make more

effective the educational programs of the
various divisions of the University.
Buildings do not make a University. Students and faculty are the University;
building and service facilities provide
the means and climate for the teaching
and learning processes.

It is obviously impossible to predict
precisely the composition of the student
body and their educational needs ten to
fifteen years hence. However, we doknow
that there will be a material increase in
the number of undergraduate students
and a decided increase in the number of
graduate students. The increase in undergraduate students means at least a proportionate increase in the number of student activities and the number of young
people participating in them. The increase in graduate students immediately
implies expanded research activities and,
hence, added and improved research fa-

cilities. Undoubtedly, the number of
evening students will also increase materially. Further, and very important
indeed, will be a marked increase in the
University's services to the community,
both culturally and intellectually.
In seeking to meet the needs occasioned
by a doubled enrollment and expanded
services generally, the University administration is seeking the very best counseling it can from professional sources,
faculty, students, and administration.
From such counseling and interim planning, it hopes and believes it can arrive
at a master plan which will be both flexible and adequate.

Naturally, realization of such a plan
means that the money must be secured
somehow. The University, therefore, for
its major additions to physical facilities
must seek the assistance of the community-at-large, business and industry,
individual friends and foundations.

To a very greater extent than is usually
realized, the success with which the University attracts such gifts is directly influenced by the interest and participation
of the alumni body. Individuals and organizations from whom the University
might expect support in the future will
more likely be interested if the University can readily demonstrate a high percentage of annual alumni support through
such fund media as the Alumni Loyalty
Fund, the Annual Participating Fund for
Medical Education, the Annual Dental
Education Participating Fund and similar annual fund raising programs specifically designed to support the on-going
educational programs.

�Polish Room
is Dedicated
in Library

A Polish Room housinga collection of
Polish literary and art works was recently dedicated in Lockwood Memorial
Library on the University campus. The

room is designed

to

serve as a center of

Polish culture with displays consisting of
photographs of Polish buildings and
scenes and various historical documents.
The opening was a highlight of the

annual meeting of the American Council
of Polish Cultural Clubs which took
place on the campus. The meetings, which
were open to the public, attracted delegates, guests and visitors from all over
the

country.

Keynote speaker for the

dedication was Dr. George N. Shuster,
president of Hunter College.
Buffalo Artist Designs Room

Joseph Mazur, an artist who specializes
in stained glass, was responsible for the
decoration of the room. Stained glass
panels representing famous Polish authors
and musicians are located in the windows at the end of the room and give the
visitor the impression that he is entering
an area designed for quiet meditation.
The room is tastefully furnished with
deep, soft leather chairs and tables, cabinets and desks of blond mahogany. All
of the furniture was also designedby Mr.
Mazur.

Dr. James Heslin, assistant director of
the library, stated that all of the furnishings and exhibits were donated by various

St. Teresa Church in Wilno, Poland

organizations and individuals interested
in the preservation of Polish culture.
Cabinets along one wall of the room
contain an exhibit of various Polish historical documents donated by Sattler's
department store. The collectioncontains
documents written by famous kings of
old Poland. Some of the letters and
proclamations date back to the 16th
century.

Also availablefor inspection are photographs of various Polish cities as they
were before the Wermacht of Adolph
Hitler decimated Poland. We have pictured on this page some of the items in
that collection.

Polish Patriot Honored
In addition to the main purpose of providing a center for the deposit of these
documents, the room was opened as a
feature of the Centennial Anniversary of
the death of Adam Mickiewicz. Adam
Mickiewicz, acclaimed the greatestp Polish literary figure of all time, is much
revered by the Polish people, not only for
his poetry, drama and prose, but also for

�The Nuclear Research Center
has made progress since the last report
which appeared in these pages. Possibly
not the type of progress which makes
headlines but certainly headway.

Dr. Phillips and Dr. Klaiber of the
Physics Department have drafted rough
drawings which indicate what the center
should consist of if it is

to meet

the re-

quirements of industry and the University. In addition, we have been fortunate
in securing the collaboration of Dr. R. G.
Nickolls, principal physicist of the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory. Dr. Nickolls served a two year period at the
AEC's Los Alamos Laboratories in New
Mexico.
Artist's conception of swimming poolreactor similar to that proposed for University campus

Local Industry Interested
Industry on its part continues to wrestle with the problem of evaluating just
what the center will mean to its respectivefield of business. It is especially noteworthy that the Bell Aircraft Corp. has
entered into a contract agreement with a
top-flightconsulting firm, Nuclear Science
and Engineering of Pittsburgh. This firm,
together with its consulting specialists,
will help Bell Aircraft evaluate the applicability of nuclear techniques to its
present program as well as the potential

ry

application of Bell's existing technical
manpower and facility capabilities in the

JAMES C. EVANS
Spec/a/Assistant to the Chancello-

atomic energy field. Once, therefore, a
program looking to the future has been
brought into focus, then at that time will
it be possible to determine the relationship between what the NuclearResearch
Center has to offer as against Bell's needs.
You really might say that in substance
this is what is presently going on with
other industrial concerns as well. There
is no question but that the University's
role of "being a catalyst" has started the

ball rolling.
This coming fall we look forward to
conducting a nuclear symposium and it is
our hope that the papers which will be
given by leading scientists will be of particular interest to industry, covering such
subject material as effect of radiation on
materials and the use of neutrons as an
analytical tool.

as national interest has become
evident in the University's Carbon Conferences so should interest develop in the
timely subject of nuclear science.

Just

AEC Approval Necessary
When it comes to the question of
actually starting the project one has to
look ahead and then work backward.
Let's say that the "reactor goes critical"
in the spring of 1957.This would assume,
therefore, that the building program had
taken at least a year. Prior to this, however, it is necessary to go through a very
complicated and detailed period within
which a presentation is prepared for submittal to the Safeguards Committee of
the AEC. This committee is the final
judgeas to the merits of the presentation
with particular emphasis being given to
the subject of public health and safety.
Should it take five to six months to secure
approval (which is in the form of a construction permit) it is easy to see that the
quicker we can resolve all of our present

problems, just that much sooner will the
center become a useful tool.

University Plans Nuclear
Training
As demand for technical manpower
trained in the field of nuclear energy be-

gins to exert itself here on the Niagara
Frontier the University plans to be ready
to meet this emergencyand with this in
mind is already giving thought to the
manner in which undergraduate and
graduate nuclear training would be con-

ducted.
Of further importance is the apprecia-

tion that with the center becoming a
reality, possibilities for the various divisions and departments of the University
to participate in AEC research contracts
will become immeasurably enhanced. So
will the prestige of the University.

�ReflectionsoftheDirector
Recently upon leaving an alumni club
meeting, the thought occurred to me that
here was a splendid example of a successful alumni meeting. It had been a pleasure
to attend, and I asked myself just what
was it that had made it successful. Well,
I had to admit that first of all, it fulfilled
the social requirements. The host and
hostess for the meeting at a private home
were cordial, friendly, cultured and made
everyonefeel at home. Incidentally, their
home was lovely and reflected the owner's
good taste. It was set on spacious grounds
which made the welcome complete.
The group represented a cross section
of professional people in a small city
Doctors, Dentists, Lawyers, Pharmacists,
Educators, Businessmen, Social Workers
and Housewives. Their common bond of
affiliation was to a University which
aided them in reaching their life goals.
They were interested in the progress of
the University. They were interested in
preserving, maintaining, developing and
improving their University because by
honoring and serving it, they not only

By keeping alumni together, the University keeps a segment of its family in
contact or in rapport with the student
body, the administration and the faculty.
No group can better represent the University in the community than its alumni.
However, no group, even such a successful one as mentioned above, can exist
without an objective or common goal.
Their goal can be illustrated by two
plaques in the local schools. These record

The University takes great pride in the
fact that it has been chosen as the home

�Carlos C. Alden
1866—1955

by

JACOB D. HYMAN
Dean, School of Law

A great figure in the life of the University of Buffalo School of Law and in the
legal world of Western New York, passed
from the scene on August 4, 1955, with
the death of Carlos Coolidge Alden. In
his fifty years of teaching at the Law
School, thirty-two of them as Dean, Dr.
Alden was mentor to an estimated 70%
of the attorneys and half of the judgesin
this area. Long years of devotion to
teaching are not uncommon. What is uncommon is the ability in the course of
teaching over so long a period to win and
retain an affection and respect which
never flag with the passing of the years.
Dr. Alden was called to the deanship
of the University of Buffalo School of
Law in 1904. At that time he was completing ten years of teachingat New York
University Law School and carrying on
an extensive and successful trial practice
in New York City. His close association
with Dean Austin Abbott of that school
led to a series of scholarly works in the
field of New York Practice and Procedure, which made Dr. Alden one of the
State's outstanding authorities. The only
interruption in his service to the Law
School was his year as counsel to Governor Charles Evans Hughes in 1909.
The focus of his interest in the law is
indicated by the fact that one of his out-

standing contributions

to

the profession,

outside of the Law School, and one of
which he was justly proud, was the
organization of the Buffalo Legal Aid
Bureau. After helping to found it in 1912,
he served as its president from 1918 to
1950.
Dr. Alden's career was punctuated by a
series of memorable public tributes. The
latest of these took place on November 1,
1954, when the University of Buffalo
Law School Alumni Association tendered
the Doctor a luncheon to signalize his retirement from teaching.
The principal speaker at the luncheon,
Frank G. Raichle, Jr., opened his remarks with the following statement:
"This remarkable turnout of judges,
lawyers, civic leaders and friends constitutes a more eloquent tribute to our
guest of honor than could thewords of
any speaker. I know of no man in my
time who has deserved or received a
finer tribute. Dr. Alden, the size and
enthusiasm of this gathering evidences
the high esteem and warm affection in
which you are held by those of us who
still like to consider ourselves your
boys and girls and the high regard in
which you are held by every one in this

community."

A characteristic of Dr. Alden's per-

sonality was his warm affection for all of
those with whom he came in contact.
His unfailing devotion to his students has
made an indelible impression on the entire community. Similarly, in his later
years he never failed to speak with
warmth about the kindness with which
Buffalo had welcomed him and the
friendliness he had always found in his
adopted city.
In summarizing the enduring impact of

Dr. Alden upon the Law School, it seems
to repeat what I said at the
luncheon:
'The size and spirit of this gathering,
and the enthusiasm of the Alumni who
organized it, impressively witness the
impact that Dr. Alden has had on the
community as a man and as a teacher.
It would not be fitting for me to try to
add to what has been said on his behalf
of those who have known Dr. Alden so
much longer than I have been privileged to. But this much may with
propriety be said: that the knowledge
of Dr. Alden's half-century of devoted
service both to the promotion of justice and to the growth of his students
will always strengthen the Law
School's dedication to those high pur-

fitting

'

poses."

Approximately 170 acres of grass must be cut periodically.

�itenance Department

This is the second in a series of pictorial stories designed to acquaint the
alumni with the various departments of
the University. This issue focuses the
spotlight on a relatively unknown division of the University, the Maintenance

Department.

Under the direction of Mr. Gerald F.
MacKay, Director of the Physical Plant,
a hard working force of men and women
is charged with the responsibility of
maintaining the 176 acres of ground and
buildings which comprise the University
of Buffalo. This task of maintenance is
one of tremendous proportions involving
a multitude of operations and requiring a
variety of equipment. It ranges from the
replacement of a burned out light bulb
to the erection of a new wall.
Some examples of the various services
performed by the department will illustrate the complexity and diversified nature of the hundreds of items requiring
maintenance.
When old man winter arrives upon the
University scene, he invariably brings
with him a great deal of snow. Have you
ever wondered who keeps the sidewalks
shoveled and the roadways clear when
we have a big snow storm? Maintenance
must clear 73^ miles of sidewalk, two
miles of private roadway and parking
area for 2500 cars between the hours of
11:00 P.M. and 8:00 A.M. so that students and faculty can get to and from
classrooms during the school day.
How about heating the various buildings on campus during the winter? A central power plant with three tremendous
steam boilers heats every building on
campus. Steam heat is carried to the various buildings by a series of heating tunShown here is Ihe central maintenance office. The panel in the background holds
the order sheets for various work being done throughoutthe University.

nels below the ground. Over a mile of
tunnel is serviced by the department.
Approximately 5000 tons of coal are used
to generate the necessary heat. All of
these operations are carried on by the
Maintenance Department.

Somebody must sweep the floors and
wash the windows. The department used
2,820 gallons of floor soap, 9,180 lbs. of
sweeping compound and 1,293 gallons of
floor wax just to keep the various buildings on campus looking clean and neat
throughout the year.
Many of our alumni have commented
on the beauty of the University campus.
Keeping the trees, shrubs and lawns in
condition requires a great deal of time
and attention. To maintain the campus
grounds, it was necessary to spread 3000
yards of top soil; 1700 lbs. of grass seed
was planted; 45 tons of fertilizer was

used; approximately eighty acres of lawn

and all

trees

on campus were sprayed

to

control plant diseases and to control
weeds; replacement of and addition to
existing shrubs and trees involved the
planting of 249 trees, 344 evergreens and
283 shrubs.
There are a great number of light fixtures on campus. The Maintenance Department replaced over 14,000 light bulbs
last year. To keep those bulbs burning
brightly the department must keep in repair over 500 miles of electrical wiring.
The list is an endless one. We have
attempted to delineate the tremendous
scope of this operation to give ouralumni
an indication of the sizeable growth of
their University. As the University grows
in size and scope, so do the functions of
this department. All in all, we think
you'll agree, it's a big job.

Department. This wall is being built in Clark Gymnasium to enlarge the locker space.

UNIVERSITY

OF BUFFALO FOOTBALL SQUAD—I9SS.

The "comebacking" University of Buffalo football Bulls split even in the first
two games of their 1955 Intercollegiate
schedule.
Demonstrating plenty of ground gaining ability, both overland and through
the air, U.8., nevertheless, dropped a 28-7
decision to a very strong Cortland team in
the September 24 lid lifter at Rotary Field.
The score, however, should not be con-

strued as an accurate indication of the
difference in ability. It was the Bull's mistakes, attributable to inexperience and
lack of pre-season full scrimmages, rather
than any pronounced Cortland superiority, that made the difference in the

score.
By the same token, similar mistakes
made less often, prevented U.B. from running their second opponent, Brockport
State, right off the gridiron during the
course of the 26-0 victory scored at Brockport Saturday, October 1. That win not
only evened up the season, but avenged
last year's 19-6 humiliation suffered at
the hands of a similarity personnelled
Brockport eleven.
Statistically speaking, the University
of Buffalo enjoyed a vast superiority in
defeat. The Bulls with Dick Stuck, Dick

A Day They Will Remember
It was indeed a day to be long remembered by the more than 1600 freshmen be-

ginning their college careers at the University of Buffalo. Overtones of anxiety
could be heard everywhere as these
enthusiastic neophytes of higher learning
crowded into Clark Memorial Gymnasium for the Convocation ceremonies.
This marked the first day of the hectic

orientation week for incoming students.

The convocation was highlighted by an

address of welcome by ChancellorClifford
C. Furnas and the introduction of the
students to the representatives of each division of the University by Jack M. Deeringer, EdM'4B, EdD's3, Dean of Students. Mr. Theodore J. Siekmann,
EdM'47, Director of Alumni Relations,
welcomed the freshmen on behalf of the
University of Buffalo Alumni. The remainder of the week was devoted to
campus tours, divisional meetings, physical examinations and registration. A barn
dance and splash party were the first of
the many social activities that were
planned for that week. The climax of the

seven day program was the campus open
house and pep rally on Friday night preceding the year's first football game,
University of Buffalo vs Cortland State,
Saturday afternoon at Rotary Field.
An integral part of orientation week
for the freshmen and an activity which
occurs frequently during every student's
tenureat the University, is registration.
Registration figures for the year 1955-1956 have far exceeded those of past years

let" Joe's heaves.
At Brockport, U.B. stayed almost exclusively to running plays, utilizing the
split-T and option series almost to perfection in running up a total of 258 yards.
Another 57 yards gained passing put the
Bulls total offense over 300 yards for the
second week in a row. Stuck, Rao and
Doll were the Bulls most consistent gainers, aided especially in the second half by
number 2 quarterback Bill McGarva who
demonstrated the option "keep it" play
for several sizable gains. The Bulls lost
one 90 yard touchdown run of an intercepted pass because of a clipping penalty,
and the team lost several additional scoring chances because of similar ovcranxiousness that caught the official's eye.
Defensively, U.B. improved tremendously
over the Cortland game, holding Brockport to a net gain of 59 yards rushing and

passing.

for freshmen, graduate students, professional schools, Millard Fillmore College
and total University enrollment. It is interesting to gaze back on previous years
and visualize the growth of the University in terms of registration. The freshman registration 20 years ago was a mere
497 compared to this year's 1350 (approx). Back in 1915the total registration
for the University of Buffalo was only 924
students. In 1935 that total jumped to
3964, and this year the approximateregistration for the entire student body is
9250.

action and comedy were wrapped in a
panorama of activity that many of the

Alumni will remember for years to come.
Due to the never ceasing efforts of the

the day's events ran smoothly and swiftly. The members of the committee included Messers. Edward Andrews, James

Harold Rosamilia and John Starr.
Representatives of the General Alumni
Board, many of whom had traveled from
far distant cities, met with Chancellor

The end of the game was celebrated
with the introduction of a new institution at the University. All Alumni were
invited to meet the Chancellor at the

where over 300 Alumni availed them-

throats parched by constant yelling at
the game. Alumni present were vociferous in their praise of the "Tunk" and it
appears to be an affair that will be repeated on every Homecoming Day.
The University Club was the site of the

orchestra of Tommy Rizzo provided the
musical background for the Alumni who
overflowed the Club to make the affair a

How Do You Like It?
Have you noticed? We' ve changed
the Alumni Bulletin in a number of
ways. Our cover style is different as
is the type of printing that is now
used throughout the Bulletin. Do
you think it is more readable and
attractive? Also we have tried to
give our readers more complete
stories regarding Alumni activities
and University news rather than
the short, brief items we have run
in the past.
We think these are changes for
the better. Our object is to make
this magazine a publication that
you will enjoy reading. The only
way we know that you like the
Bulletin is when we hear from you
about it. Will you please drop us a
short note and tell us your reactions to these changes? Is there
something you particularly want

�The Call
to Serve
Chancellor accepts position of
Assistant Secretary of Defense

for Research

and Development

It was with regret but also with pride
that the University's Council last month
granted a leave of absence to Chancellor
Clifford C. Furnas permitting him to assume his duties of Assistant Secretary of
Defense for Research and Development.
Dr. Furnas, who has worked closely with
military research agencies since the early
days of World War 11, was offered the appointment by Defense Secretary Charles
E. Wilson in early October and assumed
his duties this month.
Dr. Furnas is uniquely qualified for the
position of Assistant Secretary of Defense
for Research and Development. Research
has been his principal field throughout
his professional life, beginning with research work at the Illinois Steel Company. From 1926 to 1931, he conducted
research on metallurgical processes at the
U. S. Bureau of Mines at Minneapolis. In
the latter year, Dr. Furnas joined the
Yale University faculty as Associate Professor in Chemical Engineering and maintained a number of industrial consulting
connections. In 1941 and 1942, he worked
for the National Defense Research Committee, coordinating a large research and

development program.
He was appointed by Curtiss-Wright in
1943 as director of itsresearch laboratory
in Buffalo. Their laboratory was given to

Cornell University in 1946 at which time
Dr. Furnas became Executive Vice-President and Director of Cornell Aeronautical
Laboratory. He was appointed Chancellor
of the University of Buffalo on April 30,
1954 and took office on September 1,1954.
Dr. Furnas is also widely known for
his educational and literary endeavors.
He is the author of a large number of
educational and technical articles as well
as several books including "The Next
Hundred Years", a Book-of-the-Month
Clubselection in January 1936, and "Man,
Bread and Destiny", written with his
wife, Sparkle M. Furnas. A recent article
entitled, "A Look at the Next 75 Years",
shows how the world and society will
change as a result of the great strides in

technological progress.
Underthe guidance of Chancellor FurUniversity has launched a broad
program of expansion and development.
His inspiration has helped to brighten the
spirit of the students, faculty and alumni.
nas, the

He and Mrs. Furnas have traveled to
many points in the nation meeting and
talking with University alumni. At a recent alumni gathering, the Chancellor
promised to keep in close contact with
the University and hoped his return
would not seem too far away. As Alumni
President, Mearl D. Pritchard, PhG'2l,

said, "The alumni of the University wish
Chancellor and Mrs. Furnas 'God Speed'
in their journey and express pride in
being a part of the institution which

they represent."

Chancellor Honored
The faculty and the students honored
Chancellor Furnas during his last two
weeks at the University prior to his departure to

Washington.

The faculty paid their respects to Dr.
and Mrs. Furnas on November 19 at the
first Chancellor's Ball. The Ball was held
in Norton Union under the sponsorship
ofthe Women's Club and the Newcomer's
Club. Mrs. Henry M. Woodburn was
chairman of the affair. The proceeds from
the dance became part of the Scholarship

Endowment Fund.
Chancellorand Mrs.Furnas were guests
of the students at a reception in Norton

Union on November 22, designated as
Chancellor Furnas Day on campus. Anthony Cassetta, chairman of the affair,
Sal Carrallo and Harold Reiss, president
and vice president of the Board of Managers conducted the day's events.

and Anderson vice-chancellors

DR. ANDERSON

On November 21 the Council of the
University approved the appointments of
Dr. Claude E. Puffer as vice chancellor for

business affairs and Dr. G. Lester Anderson as vice chancellor for educational
affairs. Dr. Puffer, University Comptroller and Treasurer, was recently named
acting chancellor of the University during the fourteen month leave of absence
of Dr. Clifford C. Furnas.
Dr. Puffer joined the UBfaculty in 1938
as an instructor in economics. Subsequently, he was named Assistant Dean of

the School of Business Administration
and later appointed Acting Dean. He held
the position of Dean of Administration
from 1945 to 1951 when he was named
treasurer and comptroller. Under his direction, the Treasurer's office has been reorganized to keep pace with the overall

expansion program of the University.
Dr. Anderson, who was recently on a
partial leave of absence serving as executive directorof the New York State Committee for the White House Conference on
Education, has had a wide range of ex-

perience in the teaching and school administrative field. He held the position of
dean of teacher education at the College
of the City of New York before becoming
dean of administration at the University
of Buffalo in 1951.
Also, effective immediately, are the appointments of Dr. Merton W. Ertell,
BS(Bus)'3B, MBA'49, as assistant vice
chancellor for educational affairs and
the
James C. Evans as general manager ofprojUniversity Nuclear Research Center

�HIGHLIGHTS FROM CHANCELLOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
This month Chancellor Clifford C.
Furnas submitted to the University Council his annual report for the academic
year 1954-1955. Included in this report
are the impressions of Dr. Furnas after his
first year in office. The highlights of his
report and those most interesting to
alumni, include these points: (1) Athletic

program; (2) Publications by University
faculty; (3) Financial status, including
increase in tuition and faculty salaries;
(4) Increase in industrial financial support; (5) Appointment of Mr. Paul
Schweiker as Consulting Architect for the
University in connection with the building

program.

By way of introduction and as a summary of his first year impressions, Chancellor Furnas stated, in part: "In general,
there is a strong though nebulous feeling
on the campus and in the community
which senses, though does nor yet quite
define, the challenge of a new phase in
American life and along with it a new
phase in American higher education, and
particularly in the role of the urban university. The problems and the possibilities are not yet crystallized, but they are
being thought about and discussed. There
is a changing and dynamic situation in
our life, calling for the final realization
of a great American dream—the opportunity for higher education for all who
are willing and qualified. The University
and community are responding to the
challenge. The response is not yet at full
power—we are proceeding at probably
half speed. The next decade will probably

'

tell the tale of the extent and direction of
that response. As I see it, there is no
visible limitation to the level of greatness to which the University of Buffalo
may rise in meeting its responsibilities."

Rational Athletic Program
The University of Buffalo has recently
launched a five-year athletic program in

field representative athletic
teams. In his report Chancellor Furnas
had this to say of that program: "A collegiate athletic program is often a major
bone of contention in the university circles which encompasses students, faculty
and alumni. There are a few who would
de-emphasize athletics out of existence.
At the other extreme are those who seem
to feel that the major, if not the sole, reason for the existence of a university is the
production of winning football teams.
The majority, however, adopt the rational and simple middle-of-the-road attitude that athletic competition is a valuable and legitimate extracurricular activ-

order

to

ity and that it should be carried on in
such a manner as to contribute to a well
rounded education but not unduly overshadow other phases of college life. This
seems to be a reasonable philosophy and
one in which I concur .... A proper
athletic program is one which is recognized as a Good Thing in which the contestants have a chance of winning a fair
share of the time. This is a pattern which
I hope to establish and maintain at the
University of Buffalo."

are available and new ones are being
found. One of the most encouraging signs
is the changing attitude of industry during the last few years. Many strong industrial organizations are beginning to
give very substantial support to private
institutions of higher education. This
constructive attitude is already having its
effect and undoubtedly will increase in
the future."

Publications

"In order to handle the education of
the future complicated world, I visualize
that we will develop along the lines of
various centers, or sub-centers, in which
there is a natural interlocking of the disciplines, for joint use of facilities as well
as of teaching and research talents. For
instance, there is a very definite plan for
a Fine Arts Center which will incorporate
in one building, or a small group ofbuildings, music, drama, and the visual arts.
Another center underconsideration would
involve the enlargement of the present
Medical-Dental building to include the
functions of Nursing, Pharmacy and Biology. Another natural grouping into an
informal center might be considered the
physical sciences—pure and applied—
that is, chemistry, physics, engineering
and mathematics. Anothernatural grouping might well be the social sciences in
the broad sense—that is, education, social work, business administration
The facilities for student life outside the
classroom form another natural coordinate-planning unit—dormitories and so-

'

'One of the more important aspects of
the face the University presents to the
world is its list of publications. Members
ofthe University family had eleven books
published during the past year."
In addition to the booksthe Chancellor
referred to the staff's 340 articles in scientific, technical and scholarly magazines
covering a wide range of subject matter.

Financial Status
"The financial status of the University
is satisfactory but not glamorous. Financially we remain sound, but we do so
only bykeeping our operations on a more
austere status than is conducive to best
accomplishment. We are running a fairly
substantial deficit in our operating budget, but it is not dangerous." The Chancellor noted that the operating income of
the University during the academic year
1954-1955 was $6,669,919-66. This included various gifts and grants, payments
for sponsored research income from auxiliary enterprises such as residence halls,
cafeterias, etc. The expenditures for the
same period were $6,719,042.06, leaving
an operating deficit of $49,122.40.
A strong force "making financial problems increasingly difficult, although they
have not yet come to the point of being
critical, is the general effect of inflation,
plus the increasing competition for topgrade instructional and research personnel. We must soon be in a position of
making some substantial merit increases
if we are to hold many of our better
faculty members.
"A step which immediately suggests
itself as a means of bringing the financial
operations into proper balance is an increase in tuition. Serious consideration is
being given to such an increase beginning
with the academic year 1955-1956
'Despite the fact that substantial
amounts of money will be required for

both capital and operating expenditures,
I do not consider that the picture is overly
discouraging. Many sources of support

cial and athletic events ....
"In connection with the proper adaption of the physical plant of the future to

the various functions as they evolve, we
have been fortunate in being able to retain the services of Mr. Paul Schweiker
as Consulting Architect for the Univer-

sity."

Conclusion
"All in all, I feel it is correct to say
that the University is approximately on
the correct course, that there is a strong
wind and good sailing, but that it is on a
voyage of discovery. We do not know
what weather or lands may lie ahead,
but we may view the future course with
confidence and, at least as far as I am concerned, with pleasure."
The Chancellor's annual report
for the academic year 1954-1955 is
now available in the University Development Office, 143 Hayes Hall.

�CAMPUS IS HOST TO VISITING
EDUCATORS FROM FOREIGN LANDS

speaking before civic and church groups,
attending cultural and social activities,
and participation in many special programs.
A special feature of the program here
was a four day tour of Central New York
visiting educational institutions and industries. The tour included a visit to the
Corning Glass Works, Cornell University, Hobart College and the Geneva Pub-

lic Schools, Eastman Kodak, and the
School for the Blind at Batavia. Other
highlights of the program included a tour
of the city sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, a trip to Niagara Falls
and Old Fort Niagara, a weekend in a
rural community sponsored by the Lawton's Grange, participation in B-I-E Day
(Business, Industry, Education), and
visits

For the second year the University of
Buffalo's School of Education has served
as host to a group of secondary school
teachers from abroad. Participating in the
International Teacher Education Program, twenty-two teachers from ten different countries (Mexico, Panama, Germany, Italy, Belgium, India, Pakistan,
Viet Nam, Burma and Malaya) were on
campus from September 18th through
December 20th. Two other universities,
the University of SouthernCalifornia and
the University of Oklahoma, also parti-

cipatcd in the program which is sponsored jointly by the United States Office
of Education and the Department of State.
Dr. Theodore E. Johnson, School of

Education, acted as coordinator for the
program at the University of Buffalo and
was assisted by Mrs. William H. Hcpp,

�What about financial aid for University of Buffalo students ... do many students apply each year and how are they
helped?
At the present timethe University helps
students meet their financial needs in four
ways: through scholarships, loans, parttime work contract campus jobs and offcampus jobs, and through a deferred payment tuition plan.

Financial Aid
for Students

Scholarships are awarded by the Committee on Scholarships and Loans, of
which Dr. Leon J. Gauchat is chairman,
to help worthy students attend the University of Buffalo who would be unable to
obtain a college education without such
aid. Along with demonstrated need, the
requirements include purposefulness and
high scholastic ability. In addition to
these general qualifications many scholarships carry specific requirements which
applicants must meet, such as leadership

qualities.

The concept of financial need as a primary factor in making awards is one
which is achieving wider acceptance
throughout the country. Many colleges
and universities, and new funds such as
the National Merit Scholarship Corporation give honorary awards which recognize the scholastic achievement of students who do not have financial need, and
therefore do not include financial remuneration, or only a token amount. The
University of Buffalo awards such honorary scholarships to outstanding freshman applicants. These do not include a

financial grant.
At the present time there are approximately 87 funds from which University
of Buffalo students receive scholarships
and 24 funds from which they receive
loans. This includes funds which are specified for students in professional and
graduate schools, and funds which are
awarded by outside groups and organizations such as the Buffalo Foundation.
Last year, out of a total of 563 applications, 320 students received aid totaling
over $77,000*. $17,000 of this amount
was in loans and the remainder in scholarships of various kinds. This constituted
approximately 5% of the full time student
body, and although it was an increase in
the number over previous year, it was
not an increase in the percentage of the
student body aided. Increase in enrollment, increase in living expenses, and the
availability of part time work all affect
the number of students who apply for aid
*In addition to this amount approximately
235 students received over $175,000 in aid
through the various N. Y. State scholarships.

each year. Unfortunately, the funds available are not increasing in proportion to
the amount of aid needed by students.
The University is continuing to work on
the development of new scholarship
funds, but we have a long way to go before we are able to help all our deserving
students who need financial aid.
Two other services supplement aid to
students through scholarships and loans.
The first is in the area of part-time
work for students. The Scholarship Office
is working on a plan to organize parttime campus jobs for students on a work
contract basis so that a student may contract his services in a specified department
for the school year for a job which will
fit in with his class and activity schedules.
This assures the student of at least a minimum amount of moneyearned from this
source during the two semesters, and will
enable him to plan his finances more accurately. At the same time, this plan assures the employing department that an
area of work responsibility will be covered for the school year.
Dormitory students, in particular, are
interested in campus jobs, and since most
scholarship recipients, as well as countless other students work part-time to
help defray the cost of their education,

part-time work is a very important area
in financial aid to students.

The second supplemental service to students in the area of financial aid is the
deferred payment plan for tuition and
dormitory fees. Information about this
plan is available through the Bursar's
Office. Arrangements maybe made to pay
tuition and dormitory fees in monthly
installments. This enables students, such
as those whose part time work pays for
their educational expenses, to pay at a rate
which best suits their individual needs.

Despite these latter two areas of the
student financial aid picture, there still
remains the fact that manydeserving students are unable to meet the cost of their
education. A large number of students
who find it necessary to work 20 or more
hours per week if they are to meet their
financial obligations, cannot receive aid
because the necessary funds are not available. With the University's enrollment
expected to continue to increase in the
future and the fact that more able high
school students than ever are being encouraged to seek higher education by new
funds which are being developed nationally, it will become increasingly necessaryfor the University to add to its avail-

able scholarship and loan funds.

The library has often been called "the
heart" of a university. Certainly, it is the
reservoir from which students and faculty
alike draw an unfailing supply of the
recorded wisdom of the past and present.
Lockwood Memorial Library, dedicated on May 15, 1935, is the central library on the campus of the University of
Buffalo. This handsome and impressive
building, a gift of the late Thomas B.
Lockwood, a Buffalo attorney, and his
wife Marion Birge Lockwood, contains
at present more than 240,000 volumes,
and this number is increasing rapidly.
Best of all—since Lockwood Memorial
Library is intended to be more than a
building in which "precious and untouchable items'' are preserved —each
year also sees an increase in student use of
the reading rooms and reference facilities.
The community outside the University,
as exemplified by the founding of the
Polish Room in the Library this past
summer, is also enabled to participate in
the resources of Lockwood Memorial

Library.

Included in the collections of the Library are such rare items: as, to mention
only a few, a first folio of Shakespeare,
printed in 1623; a first edition of Milton's
Paradise Lost, printed in 1667, and a first
edition of Boswell's The Life of Samuel
Johnson, printed in 1791. From American

literature, which is well represented, the
Library has such rarities as the first edition of Emerson's Essays (1841); a first
edition of Melville's Moby Dick (1851);
and a first edition of Hawthorne's The
Scarlet Letter (1850). These are merely a
part of the literary treasures which were
in the personal library of Mr. Lockwood
and given by him to the University.
The modern poetry collection in Lockwood Memorial Library has, under the
direction of Charles D. Abbott, Director

of University Libraries, grown into one
of the most important repositories of
manuscripts and worksheets of contemporary poets in existence today. Leading
poets of our time have contributed to the
collection rough drafts of poems, notebooks and files which reveal the many
stages between scribbled lines and completed poems. The large number of biographers and poets who journey to the
University throughout the year attests to
the importance of this unusual collection.
In the fall of 1950, through the generosity of Mrs. Margaretta F. Wickscr of
Buffalo, Lockwood Memorial Library
acquired the personal collection of James
Joyce. In addition to the books which
Joyce used in his working library, the
collection also includes many of the notebooks, manuscripts and letters of the
author. Scholars from all over the country and abroad have had occasion to use
the priceless items in this collection.
The privileges of the libraries of the
University are extended to agroup known
as the "Friends of the Library." The
membership of this society is identified
in the following catagories: student;
alumni; associate membership, restricted
to the teaching profession; full and life

memberships. Memberships are available
to the public in one of the above categories. The funds accruing from the Society enable the participants to make use
of the special publications and activities
offered to them by the Library.
No library today can play a merely
passive role. In the continuing growth of
the University, the physical equipment
and culturalresources, not only of Lockwood Memorial Library but of all the
University libraries, comprising some
314,000 volumes, must be ready to assist
the thousands of students in the fourteen

divisions of the University.

Jim Viterno picks up yardage against Western Reserve

Bulls on Road Back with
4-4-1 Season Record
The University of Buffalo football Bulls
completed their most successful season
since 1951) compiling an overall record of
four victories, four losses, and one tie.
In itself that record may not seem particularly imposing, but in as much as the
Bulls have been decided underdogs in
seven of their eight starts they have
never failed to give an excellent account
of themselves, even in defeat. Coach Dick
Offenhamer's young and inexperienced
team has come back strong after a dismal
1954 season to a point where only lack of
depth on the squad, overanxiousness and
plain bad luck prevented a far better won-

lost record.
U.B. lost to Cortland State, Western
Reserve, Alfred and Brandeis. Only in the
opening Cortland game were the Bulls
outplayed. Against Reserve, Alfred, and
Brandeis, the Bulls battled their heavily
favored foes right to the wire before succumbing to superior manpower. TheBulls
have scored brilliant if unexpected victories over Brockport and St. Lawrence,
two more favored opponents and held
Hobart, a small college powerhouse
which was undefeated and untied in fourteen games, to a scoreless tie in this year's
Homecoming game at Rotary Field. Only
against McMaster University of Hamilton, Ontario and R.P.I, had U.B. been
favored to win. In these games Offenhamer and Company made prophets out
of the oddsmakers.
Against McMaster U.B. demonstrated
an almost incredible brand of precision
football on a sloppy, rain soaked field in
romping to its second victory of the season. Coach Offenhamer cleared his bench
in the third quarter in an effort to keep
the score down. After this game U.B.
12

ranked the best in the East in ground and
pass defense. The Bulls suffered their first
defeat since the opening game of the season to the Red Cats of Western Reserve.
The score was not indicative of the closeness of the game as an errant pitchour and
untimely fumbles led WR to the scores
that won the game. U.B. went down
fighting before a powerhouse Alfred University eleven. The Bulls held the Saxons
to a 7-7 halftime tie and a 95 yard run of a
kickoff by Dick Stuck of the Bulls was the
sensational play of the day. The Bulls
snapped their two game losing streak
with a convincing victory over St. Lawrence at Canton, N. Y. It was U.B.'s most
solid victory of the seasonas they were in
command from the opening whistle. The
Bulls, in defeat, played their most impressive game of the season against a
Brandeis team that was afour touchdown
favorite. The Judges staved off disaster by
thwarting two last period U.B. attacks
that reached inside the Judges ten yard
line. The Bulls closed their football season with their most effective all-around
performance as they repulsed Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, 45-0 before 1400
heroes at wintry Rotary Field. Those en-

thusiastic spectators unanimously agreed
that the first year of Chancellor Furnas'
5-year athletic program was a definite
success.

forthcoming 20 game schedule.
The cage Bulls, weakened by heavy losses
through graduation and ineligibility, face one of
the toughest schedules minus the incomparable
Jimmy Home but with seven members of last
year's varsity returning. Inaddition, Eiken will
receive absolutely no help from last season's

Mai will go with fewer than ten men on his
varsity.
Returning veterans around whom Mai must
build his team include Dave Levitt (pictured

The most promising newcomer is Hank Cholewinski,a transfer studentfrom ErieCounty Tech.

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

Aa

result

of the Ford Foundation

grant, the University of Buffalo will
receive $963,200 plus an undisclosed
amountfor the Medical School.Underthe
terms of the grant, for ten years the University can use the interest derived from
the gift for raising faculty salaries. After
the ten year period, there will be no re-

strictions on the use of either the principal or income.
No event in the history of educational
philanthropy has received or deserved
more widespread publicity than the Ford
Foundation grants announced in 1955- A
grant of $210,000,000 is earmarked for 615
regionally accredited privately supported
liberal arts and sciences colleges and universities in the United Statesto help them
raise teachers' salaries. This grant supplements the $50,000,000 appropriated in the
Spring of 1955 for teachers' salaries or
other pressing academic needs. Another
$200,000,000 is going to approximately
3500 privately supported hospitals to help
them improve and extend their services
to the public. A grant of $90,000,000 is
for 42 privately supported medical schools
to aid them in strengthening their in-

struction.
The schools receiving these grants were
selected by an Advisory Committee on
the basis of replies to questionnaires sent

to everyregionally accredited,privately
supported college and university in the
country. The Committeeemphasized that

"it did not attempt

Bulletin

to

compare the cali-

ber of these many different colleges, their
general excellence or reputation. Indeed,
our study confirms the belief so widely
held that variety of excellence is a healthy
aspect of our entire system of higher education, whether publicly or privately
supported. This variety cannot be readily
reduced to mathematical comparisons or
scores."
Aspects which have not been so widely
publicized and which are of particular interest to

university administrators

their help

to these institutions. Every
college and university graduate must bear

in mind that while industrial and business grants are of immeasurable help, colleges and universities will continue to
move forward, will fulfill their functions
completely, only when the graduates of
these institutions continue to strengthen
their link with Alma Mater and give both
moral and financial support on a larger
scale than heretofore."

are

these: There is no matching obligation
for those colleges and universities receiving the grants in the winter of 1955The grant of the Ford Foundation does
not affect the needs and opportunities for
gift support, and particularly for expendable operating funds in other areas of the
college's program, and help is still needed
there now as much as before. Payment of
the Ford grant will be spread over an 18
month period ending in June of 1957 and
colleges will not be benefiting from the
full annual income until June 1958. The
increase in salaries are not likely to exceed 4%, or as it has been estimated,it
will add $2.70per month to the teacher's

paycheck.
In analyzing the importance of the
Ford grants let us keep in mind the excellent statement by Nils Y. Wessell,
President of Tufts University: "The traditional friendsof our colleges and universities should be stimulated by what the

Ford Foundation has done and increase

Tuition and Salary Increase
was pure coincidence that the UniItversity
announced a tuition increase

to

pay for increased faculty salaries so close
to the Ford Foundation announcement.
The University decision to raise salaries
5% across the board had gone through
most of the "channels" before anything
had been heard of the Ford grant. And
yet the two decisions do stem from the
same thinking and do have a certain
cause and effect relationship.
The questions hovering in the minds of
all concerned is why, with all the Ford
money coming for faculty raises,should
U. B. feel it necessaryto raise tuition
fees? The answer is that the Ford gift,
while extremely helpful in the long run,
has little effectin the immediate future.
For one thine, the gift hasn't been re(Continued on page 2, col. 1)

ceived yet, and even when it is, it must be
invested and only the income from the investment can be used to increase salaries
Also, the Ford Foundation grants were
calculated on the basis of salaries paid
only to the liberal arts and science faculties, whereas,the University in meeting
a general raise, has many others to think
about—faculty members in the graduate
schools, administrative personnel, librarians,technical and clerical employees.
It has been estimated that the grant
moneyinvested by U.B. will yield enough
to pay a 4% salary increase of the personnel it covers. But when spread over all
faculty and staff on the payroll, the Ford
endowment income would support a
raise of only 2%. To make good on an
immediate 5% raise, the University has
to raise money from other sources—i.e.

In summing up the importance of additional aid to colleges and universities,I
quote in part an article by Edward M.
Cameron,Jr. of the New York Herald
Tribune: "No one genuinely interested in
higher education should feel that his gift
of $25, $50or $100or more is no longer
needed and that he can sit back complacently and with clear conscience say:
'Let Ford do it.* Though the urgent immediate need is partially and temporarily
met, the duty and privilege of continued
financial support to our colleges are still
there, and the stirring challenge of the
Ford gift should be met and matched proportionately by thousands of other con-

tributors both corporate and individual.''

Miller said.' 'During this period they will
study the ways in which students learn,
and how teachers may encourageor block
that learning process. They will consider
the factors which have influenced higher
education in the past and present. They
will learn something more of the methods
of evaluating the outcomes of formal education and have opportunity to develop
greater proficiency in the techniques of

communication. They will devote attention to the medical student as an individual, and the influences which mold his

development. Theseminar and conference
approach to these problems will be complemented by active teaching in participating medical school departments," he

�Each

week the University is projected
into thousands of homes in Western
New York, Pennsylvania and Canada
through the magic of radio and television
by the University ofBuffaloRound Table.
This program, the most popular local
show on the air, was originated on radio
in March 1941 by Mr. Arthur I. Goldberg
who was at that time Director of Public
Relations at the University and also chief
rewrite man for the Buffalo Evening
News. The subject of the initial program
was "How Far Should Aid to England
Go." The participants were Dr. Earl J.
McGrath, BA'2B, MA'3O, moderator,
Dean Mark de Wolfe Howe, Dean Julian
Park and Dr. John T. Horton, BA'26.

The first moderator of the series was
Dr. McGrath, former Dean of Administration at the University and U.S. Commissioner of Education and who is now
President of the University of Kansas
City. He was succeeded as moderator by
Dr. ClaudeE. Puffer, the present Acting
Chancellor of the University, who in turn
relinquished his duties to Dr. Carlton F.
Scofield,former head of the Department
of Psychology at U.B. Dr. Scofield was
succeeded by the present moderator,Dr.
Joseph Shister,Chairmanof the Department of IndustrialRelations. Other moderators for brief periods included: Mr.
Goldberg, Joe Wesp of the WBEN staff,
Mr. CharlesWebster of the Law School
and Dr. Wendell Calkins now on leave
from the Department of History and Government at the University.

U. B. Round Table
15th Anniversary of
Community Service

A behind the camera view of the participants on the University ofBuffalo Round Table,

The program is divided into two parts,

summer presentation, July through
September, and a winter presentation
from October through June. In summer
the Round Table is devoted solely to discussions of medical and health problems
with the moderators and participants recruited from the faculty of the Medical
School and hospitals in the community.
The participants contribute their time
without reimbursement,as a public sera

vice.

Subjectsfor the winter series are chosen
because of their current interest. They are
diversified to attract as wide a viewing
and listening audience as possible. It is
important that the topics lend themselves
to discussion rather than to exposition.
If a speech or three speeches can present a
subject satisfactorily without discussion,
the subject is not considered suitable for

the Round Table.
The topics and the participants for each
week are chosen by Miss Mildred D.
Spencer, program consultant and coordinator who is also a member of the Buffalo

Evening News Editorial Staff. All are
subject to the approval of the station
management. Suggestions from the public

Bulletin

are considered if they fit into the program
format and if qualified persons are available to discuss them. The participants are
personally contacted and arrive at the
station early Saturday evening. They are
briefed onroutine and techniques of radio
and TV but the program itself is completely unrehearsed. The only notes used
by the participants are those ofstatistical
nature or quotations.
The station gives the time and contributes the services of its staff. It also
reimburses the program consultant and
coordinator, the moderator and panel
members. Many clergymen in the area
hold Social Security cards because of their
appearance on the program. This humor-

ous fact is due to the U.S. Government
ruling that classifies all participants as
being "'employed" by the station for the
30 minutes they are on the air.
During the past 15 years many outstanding people and programs have been
seen and heard on the Round Table. Famous persons who have participated in
this series include the noted conductor

Leopold Stowkowski; former Lt. Gov-

ernor Frank C. Moore, LLB'2I; U.S. Senator from Alabama John Sparkman; Mclvin H. Baker, Chairmanof the Board of
National Gypsum Co.; Matthew J.Jasen,
former presiding judge at the U.S. Court
at Heidelberg, Germany; former Supreme
CourtJustice, David Diamond;Parraer L.
Ewing, Superintendent of Buffalo Public
Schools;Charles P. Taft, attorney and
spiritual leader of Cincinnati,Ohio; CongressmenWilliam E. Miller, Edmund P.
Radwan, LLB'34, Anthony F. Tauriello
and many other noted personalities.
Through the combined efforts of the
University, WBEN and the Evening News
the program has contributed to the thinking and enlightenment of the people of
Western New York. The subject matter,
often controversial,covers every area of
interest for its viewers and listeners from
all walks of life. The Round Table's importance was manifested in 1952 when it
was the recipient of the Freedoms Foundation honor medal award. We, as alumni, can be proud of the University for
playing such a significant part in a worthwhile community service.

bored with the banking business,so I
took the Biology for Modern Living
course. Well sir, since that time I've come
back each semester. Took a course in

Historically, MFC has pioneered in the
development of course offerings to serve

THdtcmcC

the educational needs of the adult citizenryof the Niagara Frontier. The varied
evening curricula in the College of Arts
and Sciences,School of Business Administration, Divisions of General and Technical Studies and Graduate Schoolof Arts
and Sciences
are administered by Millard
Fillmore College. The Schoolsof Education, Nursing and Social Work are assisted administratively by MFC in their
evening course offerings. The University
extends degree opportunities to young
and old alike during hours which permit
a combination of daytime work and eve-

ning education.
Somecourses originating in MFC have
mushroomed in popularity and served as
nuclei of new departments created in the
day divisions of the University. The MFC
faculty consists of regular full-time day
division instructors whose profession it is
to teach, and of successful business and
professional men of Western New York.
Evening students are in a position to

benefitfrom contact with both the trained
investigator-scholar and the man of

affairs.

Special Courses for Adults
Great progress had been made in the

development of non-credit courses and
special interest courses. Admission to
these courses is based upon interest and
need of the adult for additional information. With the aid of a university faculty
trained in the leadership of adult-level
courses it is the desire of MFC to help
mature persons in their everyday living

and working,

to

provide a background

for the interpretation of currentproblems,
and to aid in development of new interests.

Because Modern Man has become in-

creasingly curious about his relationship

to the universe and seeks to understand
the historical-cultural antecedents that
have shaped his life, a program called
"Continuing Adult Education" was
started in September 1955- The five new
liberal arts courses offered were Brave
New Worlds, Thought and Cultureof the
Middle East, GreatWorld Crises,History of
Polish Culture and Famous Elizabethan

Plays.
Frequently various groups in the Community have requested the offering of
special non-credit or credit courses of interest to their membership. The wide

range of interests thus served is evident
in descriptions of some of the programs.
It has been our pleasure to arrangethese
programs.Business Theory for Secretaries
is a program designed to help secretaries
prepare for the National Certified ProfessionalSecretariesExamination. Each
yearMFC organizes a series of on-campus

lectures on Administrative

Management

for Small Business in cooperation with
the SmallBusiness Administration Office
in Washington. The Federal Tax Institute is another annual program. It is
planned in cooperation with the Buffalo
Chapter, New York Society of Certified
Public Accountants. Coursesin banking
and finance are given which meet the requirements for the certificateconferredby
the National Chapter of the American Institute of Banking. Other groups served
are: Buffalo TrafficClub and the Niagara
Industrial Traffic League, Purchasing
Agents Association of Buffalo, Buffalo
Real Estate Board,Insurance Club of Buffalo, Buffalo Chapter of Life Underwriters, The Committee of Public Administration Training, The CreativeThinking
Institute, Niagara Frontier of the American Material Handling Society and the
Buffalo Sectionof the American Society

of Lubrication Engineers.

For those at the other end of the age
continuum MFC has arranged three special classes for children. The children's
classes meet on Saturdaymornings. Swimming instruction and Modern Dance for

boys and girls are given in Clark Gym.
Painting classes for children are offered
at the Albright Art School on Elmwood
Avenue.

The diversity of services and courses
which can be administered through MFC
are almost limitless. Theaim of this division is expansion, extension and change
of these services to meet the needs of the
adult population.

�Basketball Bulls Compile
8-3 Half Season Record

livering his shot, or a little less accurate,
U.B. would have registered one of the
season's biggest upsets.
Buffalo recovered from the Colgate
heartbreaker by walloping Brockport for
the second time 68-60 in the final game
before the exam layoff.

U.B.s success during the first half of
the season has been a team effort. Although senior forward Kurt Lang, with
an average of 17 points a game ranks
among the area's leading scorers, Roy
Fowler, Dave Levitt, Chuck Daniels and
Bill Annable, who normally start along
with Lang, are also averaging in double
figures each game. Art Cholewinski and
little Fred Johnson, Eiken's first line reserves are also scoring well.
Speed, adept ball handling, opportunistic play, and a collectively good shooting eye, characterize this year's U.B.
U. B. Basketball Squad—left to right: Coach Eiken, Ass't.Coach Kwaitak, Fowler, Levitt, Englert,
Annable, Saltmann, Cholewinski, Lang, Aaron,Lewis, Johnson,Daniels, Mgr.Kosobucki.

falo Basketball Bulls have proved
the surprise
in Western New York

of Buf-

team

inter-collegiate basketball circles.

-

Before the start of the campaign the
experts reasoned that the Bulls would not
be able to survive the loss by graduation
of the incomparable Jimmy Home. The
consensus rated U.B. a lead-pipe cinch to
lose at least fifteenof its twenty scheduled games. Eiken was similarly publicly
pessimistic, as he was facedby a decided
lack of height and proven scoring punch.
However Mal did not take into consideration two very important factors
his
own spectacular ability as a coach,and
his team's tremendous desire to win.

..

.

As the Bulls broke for first semester
final examinations their record of eight
victories and only three defeatsranked
percentagewise at thetop of the area heap.

During the season's opener with Brock-

port, U.B. survived a rocky first half, in

which they trailed by as many as 14
points, to come from behind and score a
65-57 victory.

Powerful Cornell handed the Bulls an
83-73 setback at Ithaca, but the Big Red,
a 25 point pre-gamefavorite, needed an
almost improbable number of officiating
breaks to escape the humiliation of a
Barton Hall defeat.

The Bulls ran up a modest four game

winning streak after the Cornell defeat.
The Eikenites spanked their traditional
rival Hobart 83-72,beat Alfred 80-78 in a
real thriller at Alfred, defeated Buffalo
12

State 66-46 before a standing room only
crowd at Clark Gym, and set St. Lawrence down to an 82-68 defeat. U.B. was
a decided underdog in each of the games

encounter.

A threeweek Christmas andNew Year's
break set the Bulls up for theirsecond defeat of the campaign. Invading Cortland,
sharp as aged cheese after holiday tournament action, caught Eiken's crew at its
seasonal worst and on January 6 hung an
88-74 defeat on the record. Without attempting to alibi the loss, it takes no expert to understand that the three week

competitive layoff couldn't possibly have
helped the cause.

The Bulls bounced back with wins
over the University of Toronto and a
touring University of Puerto Rico five,
handling both invading units with comparative ease. U.B. knocked off Toronto
73-48 and Puerto Rico 77-63,setting the
stage for a thriller to end all thrillers on
the night of Friday the 13th.
The site: Clark Gym; The opposition:
the nationally regarded Red Raiders of

Colgate University.

Colgate won 66-65 in the final split
second of play as a desperation "hope to
goodness" turning, jump shot from the
corner made a discouragingly accurate
connection with the basket. The underdog Bulls, playing with only six men
throughout the game, led the contest
until the final Red Raider score. Had the

E. Collard, BFA'39Regret at Dr. VanArsdale's resignation
was aptly expressed by Dr. Claude E.
Puffer, acting chancellor of the University, when he said:
"'During the many years he has been a
member of our staff and faculty, Dr. VanArsdale has devoted much time and energy to promoting the University and its
ideals in the community at large and in
areas far afield. In his most recent capacity, as director of University development and planning, he has played a significant role in obtaining support for the
University from the Niagara Frontier
region, both in industry and business.
We wish him the very best in his new
position and feel certain he will achieve

success."

doubt that, in the last two decades, there
has been another person who has made
so many friends and been so close to the

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

Yes, "In Spring a Young Man's Fancy
that is not really the case. The walk this young couple is
taking may seem completely unrehearsed, but actually it turned
out to be the hit of the Annual Alumnae Fashion Show held at the
Hotel Statler, Buffalo on March 3.
The young people are the heirs of four alumni. The young gentleman is Master John Quinn, son of John P. Quinn, BS (Bus. '50),
and Mary Noonan Quinn, Arts '48. The young lady is Susan Papia,
daughter of Gerald C. Papia, BFA '49 and Jacquelyn Kocinski Papia,
BA '49.
Perhaps in a few years we can recapture a similar picture on the
campus of the University.

�A

Message

.

From the Acting Chancellor of the University:
To the Alumni:
On behalf of all the University family, I express my gratitude for the splendid
response shown by our alumni in thisfine record offinancial support. It is gratifying to note the increase, not only in dollar totals, but also in the number of
loyal alumni who have so expressed their support.
Several divisions of theAlumni Loyalty Fund have incorporated new programs
which allow alumni to pledge an annual gift and enable the University to rely
upon a certain amount of income each year. The original success of this program
in the Medical division (The Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education)
encouraged the Dental division to adopt a similar pattern. In its first year the
Annual Dental Education Participating Fund has attained very impressive results. This continued enthusiasm, as seen in the dental record, is so inspiring that 1956 will see additionalannual
participating programs in the Pharmacy and Business Administration divisions. The impressive Development Fund
total represents, for the most part, completion of payments on the original pledges, and we hope that these alumni will
continue their support through regular donations to our annual Alumni Fund.
Of course, it is not necessary to be a donor of large gifts to help the University in a substantial degree. The steady
upgrade of Alumni giving as a whole through the years is evidence of the increasing knowledge on the part of our alumni
that theirsupport, however small in dollars and cents, is essential to insure the continuance of educational opportunities
for young people now and in future years. Tangible results of this rise in voluntary financial support are shown through
building programs, faculty additions and salary increases, and the growing number of worthy students whose enrollment
is made possible by scholarship and loan aid.
We,who are so intimately involved in the University's future, arerealizing a special obligation to make certain that it
shall sustain the essential growth it is now experiencing, not only physically, but in local influence and nationalreputation.
Sincerely yours,

Bulletin

Message

From the General Chairman of the Fund Committee:
To the Alumni:
Again last year an increased number of Alumni gave to various funds at the University. In fact,
3240 donated a total of $290,495. The amounts varied from one dollar to several thousand, and each
is welcome, no matter how small or how large.
The fact that so many remember to give something is encouraging to the Fund Committee.
Unfortunately, many Alumni send nothing, so won't you respond this year when asked for a contribution to the Alumni Fund? Better still, why not send it right now as you read this.
LA FORGE, MD'34
The Participating Funds from theDental and Medical Schools have been tremendously successful,
and our program to encourage the Alumni to include the University of Buffalo in theirwills is showing results. Many
Alumni have told us that the University of Buffalo is included "if and when." The fact of giving is important, not
the amount.
If you know anyone who is looking for a project for a living memorial, or can leave a sum in their will for the University, please convince them that U.B. will use any amount to good advantage.
Our University is constantly improving, due to your kindness and generosity.
Sincerely yours,

Twenty minutes earlier, the man had
guided his last University basketball team
to its final victory of the season. The
curtain had descended on a ten year basketball coaching career of almost unparalleled success amidst a spontaneous
ovationfromfriend and friendly foe alike.
The man from Minnesota was a sports
legend in Western New York —albeit a
living, youthful one. His coaching fame
spread far beyond the area as his U.B.
teams compiled winning records year after
year, defying as they did a fundamental

axiom—1

He seldom had the "horses" to match
the schedules. True a few bright, natural
stars blazed across his horizon, but they
could be enumerated quickly and by
name. The overwhelmingmajorityofboys
the man had to work with were molded,
shaped, developed and inspired into out-

standing individual and team players by
the indefinable genius of his coaching

ways.
As one famous area coach put it after
U.B. had defeated his 30 point favored,
nationally ranked team—one of countless

Mirrors—no. Patience, fundamental
soundness, expert handling and understanding of available manpower, alertness

coaching attributes that provided the
catalyst for the victories the experts said

were "astounding."
The man's success as a coach was
equaled by the coach's success as a man.
From the highest academic levels down,
within the University, he enjoyed the
friendship, trust and loyal support of
those traditionally inclined to view with
suspicion athletic coaches and their mo-

tives.

It was no accident. The man, while

sincerely believing the value of a strong
intercollegiate athletic program, was
equally adamant in his belief that a university's principal purpose is educational.

Therefore, while he welcomed studentathletes, athlete-students were given
short shrift.
The community outside the University
afforded the man from Minnesota the
friendship and respect communities are
traditionally reluctant to display one who
is not of their own. Mayors, councilmen,
industrial and professional leaders, educators and coaches from other schools,
businessmen, working men and women,
sports writers, broadcasters and fans
unanimously like and admire him. Discovering a person who felt otherwise was
as tough as finding teeth in the mouth of
a hen.
An area coach's proverb stated it to
be "a pleasure to lose to the guy, because
you really don't lose at all. You gain,
instead, a valuable education in technique, poise, objectivity and sportsman-

ship."

The tall man had said after the packed
house rose to its collective feet and figuratively applauded the roof off Clark Gym
duringthe final game halftime ceremonies
—"I'll always remember and cherish this
moment."

So too will the University and thecommunity retain and cherish the memory of
the man from Minnesota who did nothing
but good for ten years.

It was true, and it was a natural love
born almost at first glance and nurtured
subsequently along the highest standards
of mutual integrity, trust and loyaltycoach to University and community, University and community to coach.
The tall man from Minnesota, his
survey of the gym completed, tugged
absently at the lobe of his right ear. He
walked quickly to the waiting group of
family and friends.
A tall, very pretty woman stepped to
greet him. She touched his hand as he
smiled at her. Then Mai Eiken, the
world's finest type coach and man, and
his wife Margaret walked together into
the night.
A testimonial dinner will be held
on May 7 at 6:30 o'clock at the
Park Lane Restaurant in honor of
Mai Eiken. Tickets may be obtained at the University Athletic
Office in Clark Gym or by mail addressed to "Chuck" Burr, director
of sports publicity at the University.

University
THE
February
peacefully passed

lost a loyal friend on
18 when Edward H. Butler
away.
Mr. Butler, nationally known editor
of the Buffalo Evening News and president of WBEN, had been a central figure
for many years in the growth of the

University.
During the 1920 endowment fund campaign, Mr. Butler and his sister, then,

Mrs. Roscoeß. Mitchell, established the
Edward H. Butler professorship in English literature in memoryof theirfather.

In the 1929 campaign Mr. and Mrs.
Butler established a fund to be named
after them. Mrs. Butler, who since the
reorganization of the University has been
a member of the Council, contributed the
Butler chimes which tell the time for the
University from the tower of Edmund
Hayes Hall. Mr. Butler's last University
benefaction was his contribution, of funds
for the Edward H. ButlerAuditorium in
Samuel P. Capen Hall, the new Medical
School building on campus. He did this
in conjunction with his niece Mrs. Kent

S. McKinley.
In 1953 the University bestowed upon
Mr. Butler the highest award annually
given in Buffalo. Former Chancellor McConnell, in presenting the gold medal
emblematic of this distinction, the Chan-

cellor's Medal, called him an "editorand
publisher of outstanding accomplishments and high integrity, civic leader and

educational statesman, because in generous measure you have personified civic
patriotism, vivified public service, and
dignified Buffalo in the eyes of the
world."

About the Cover
Dr. Claude E. Puffer, acting chancellor of the University, has every
reason to smile as he stands next to the architect's photograph of
the proposed eleven story dormitory. The construction of the dormitory is due to begin sometime this summer and completion is
expected by thefall of 1957.
Dr. Puffer should also have reason to smile in satisfaction of the
fine job he has done during the absence of Chancellor Clifford C.
Furnas. Dr. Puffer's commencement address is contained in the
following three pages.

ing class. He then stated that it is traditionalfor Commencement speakers to do
two things: first, to point out that the
word "commencement" is used advisedly
because the graduate is leaving the University to get down to serious business
and secondly, to overwhelm the graduate
with oceans of advice.
Electing to dispense with the traditional pattern of commencement addresses, Dr. Puffer turned to a subject
which is "uppermost in my mind and
very dear to my heart."

Future of the University
"It is also one in which you, as members of the graduating class of 1956, have

an immense stake and, therefore, should
have a very great interest. I refer simply
to the future of this University —the University of Buffalo. I want to point out to
you that between now and 1970, the longrange destiny of the University of Buffalo will very likely be determined in a
manner more decisive than at any other
time in its entire history. We now have
before us a problem of major dimensions.
I propose to tell you what the problem is,
what we propose to do about it, the reasons behind our decision, some clues as to
probable success and the implications to
you, the new graduates.
The problem itself is simple. Can, and
should, the University ofBuffalo continue
to expand sufficiently rapidly so that

Bulletin

educational opportunities of equal or better quality may be provided for at least
twice the number now enrolled? Itis not
a problem which is unique among institutions of higher education, but there are
some special aspects to which I shall call
your attention in a few moments.
This country now has in its elementary
schools such numbers of students that
even though no greater proportion of
them wish to attendcollege than now go
on from our secondary schools, there will
be a formidable increase in the demand
for higher education every year from now
on through 1970. The magnitude of this
increased demand varies with geographical location. It is eminently clear that the
number who will wish to enter the University of Buffalo by 1970will be approximately double the number who now seek
admission. This means that instead of a
student body composed of 6,500 full-time
day students and 4,500 part-time and
chiefly evening students, this University
should be prepared in 14 years to accommodate twice that number, or 13,000fulltime students and 9,000 part-time. And,
if other colleges and universities in the
state or in this broad geographicalregion
fail to keep up with this rate of increase,
the demand to be made on the University
of Buffalo may even be greater than I
have indicated.
In a recent article in the Educational
Record, Dr. William S. Carlson, President of the State University of New York,
quoted a number of spokesmen for various
colleges in New York State indicating
that those particular institutions plan to

expand enrollments very little, although
they recognized the need. I am happy to
report that no such quotation could be
madefrom a University of Buffalo official.
On the other hand, this is notice to you,
the new graduates, to your parents, and
to the friends and supporters of the University of Buffalo, that we do plan to go
forward to meet the educational needs of
this Niagara Frontier, regardless of how
difficult the task appears. This is a brave
statement and is perhaps best made by a
mere Acting Chancellor who is, in effect,
committing his superior, ChancellorClifford C. Furnas, to a task rivaling that of
Atlas upholding the world, but from my
knowledge of Dr. Furnas, it is a task
which he will perform if it is humanly
possible to do so and from which he will
never shirk. It is also a brave statement
to those of you who know that we are
presently using our physical plant almost
to its fullest degree, having even converted attics and basements to classrooms
and laboratories in order to meet the existing space requirements. Some clues as
to whether or not we shall be successful
in this great venture will be offered in a
few moments, but let us now turn our
attention to the reasons behind our decision to meet this vast problem of numbers.

Role of the VoluntarilySupported Institution
The reasons are relatively simple but
very fundamental and are not, as some of
you may have suspected, merely an interest in growth and size and glory in the
belief that something that is big is better
1

�than something that is small. The answer
is our firm and unshakable belief in the
significant role of the voluntarily-supported
institution of higher education and more
especially the role of the voluntarilysupported urban university. Please note,
if you will, that I refer to voluntarilysupported institutions, rather than the
more common terminology of privatelycontrolled, privately-endowed or independent institutions in the hope that my
terminology more clearly indicates the
true nature of the institution.
Why should we be concerned over the
future of the voluntarily-supported institutions? Is it only a matter of vested interest or personal pride or some other
selfish attitude? No, it is not and I regret
that I have time to make only two points.
The first is related to the fact that at the
present time something like halfthe total
effort in higher education is supplied by
tax-supported institutions and the other
half by privately-controlled or endowed,
or as I prefer to call them, voluntarilysupported institutions. This balance is
almost surely going to be upset over the
next few years by the vast expansion of
the tax-supported institutions, and it is
the existence of this balance that hasbeen
one of the great strengths of our entire
system of higher education. And what
has been the chief contribution of the
non-tax-supported institutions? As Chancellor Capen pointed out in his volume
which I commend to all of you, "The
Management of Universities," "It is a
well-known fact that most constructive
changes in secondary and higher education have originated in the privately-supported institutions. Public institutions
are, as a rule, less flexible ... It is fair to
say that the surest index of the vitality of
a privately-endowed university is its
readiness to alter its methods, its requirements, or the content of its curricula for
the view both to offering its students

richer opportunities for self-improvement

and to equipping them better to perform
the duties of present-day citizenship and
professional practice. The remarkable
transformation which has taken place in
nearly every sector of American higher
education during the last thirty years is
the result of scores of separate innova-

tions. In the main, these have been initiated by a relatively small group of universities and colleges, most of them privately-controlled." On this matter, the
facts speak for themselves and it is clear
that a continued flow of these improvements is dependent upon the existence of
an important segment of higher education under voluntarily-supported institutions.
The other fundamental reason I shall
4

mention for the significance of voluntari-

ly-supported institutions ofhigher education is related to the possibility of control of course content and ideas by governmental authorities. On this score, may I
quote once more from the previouslymentioned article by Dr. Carlson in which

he says, "The source offunds for higher
education—whether from a public treasury or from individual or corporate benefactors—offers no peril to what a university can do. It can do only what its
faculty, accepting the aims of the university and guidedby the professional traditions of freedom, will do." With this
statement in the existing climate of intellectual freedom, I have no particular
quarrel. I certainly do not charge that the
professors in publicly- or tax-supported
institutions arc subject to any significant
form or amount of thought-control, but
I do wish to make the point that, if at
some time the climate of intellectualfreedom were to deteriorate somewhat, the
very existence of a large number of

strong and dedicated voluntarily-supported institutions will make the possibility of control of higher education by
some demagogue vastly more difficult
than it would be if only institutions
whose purse strings are controlled by
legislative bodies constituted the sum
total of effective higher education.
The voluntarily-supported colleges and
universities in the State of New York
have had a long and notable history of
educational service and progress. In recent years, a State university has been
established on a decentralized basis with
the intent clearly stated in the law that
it is to supplement—and I wish to empha-

size that word—the educational opportunities provided by the existing institutions. On that basis, we welcome the
State University in the same way that we
applaud the excellent work being done
by the Erie County Technical Institute
in its two-year technical programs and
the fine contribution made by the State
Teachers College of Buffalo, which has
become a unit of the State University.
Parenthetically, I should like to suggest that each of youafter the Commencement exercises take a long and careful
look at the property adjoining our campus just across the street along Bailey
Avenue at Main Street. Visualize if you
will the magificent educational and cultural center that would exist in this area
if this property were to become, in part,
a site for expansion of the University of
Buffalo, as well as the new campus for
our friends the Erie County Technical Institute and the most central location for
the main building of the Erie County

Library.

But to return to the role of the voluntarily-supported university, may I point
out that in this State as a whole, we need

cooperative planning under the guidance
of the Board of Regents and the State De-

partment of Education to insure the existence of ample educational opportunities. I am happy to endorse a statement
made by the Governor of the State of
New York on May 4, 1956 at the inauguration of James E. Allen, Commissioner of Education of the State of New
York. The Governor said, "It is essential
that we plan and take steps now to develop and expand our institutions of
higher education to meet the rapidlygrowing needs. The Board of Regents and
the Commissioner are actively engaged in
developing a co-ordinated plan for new
institutions and expansion of existing facilities. Itis my aim fully to support them
in their efforts to see that the future development of our institutions of higher
learning takes place in accordance with
coordinated and balanced plans. I was
forced to veto a bill passed by the Legislature which would have required the
Trustees of the State University to proceed with the construction of a particular
institution which the Regents had not
approved. I did so at the request of the
Regents. Decisions of this importance
must not be made on a hit-or-miss basis
or in response to local pressures, but only
in accordance with careful study and
with full regard to the relative roles of
private and public institutions. It is, of
course, of prime importance that our private

educational institutions be given

every encouragement and opportunity to
expand and develop in order to meet the
increasing obligations of the years ahead.
At the same time, the State University
must carry an increasing load in its established fields. Funds are being, and will
continue to be, made available for whatever planning for expansion the State
University is able to undertake. Funds
are also available for all new construction
on which the State University and the
Department of Public Works are ready
and able to proceed." Itis clear that the
role of the voluntarily-supported university is indeed a vital one which can

scarcely be over-estimated.

Role of the Urban University
Let us look now at the fact that the
University of Buffalo is not only voluntarily-supported, but is also an urban
university. Located as it is in a great
metropolitan area, it is participating in
one of the most significant and notable
developments in higher education —the
great upsurge in importance and leadership of the urban university. And why

Alumni

�should this be so? Because the urban uni-

versity—especially the voluntarily-supported urban university —has certain outstanding characteristics that especially
fit it for our ever more complex society.
First, it is and must always be unusually responsive to the needs of the
community in which it is located. For
example, the very high percentage of
physicians, dentists, lawyers and other
professional men who have received their
education at the University of Buffalo is
but one example of such responsiveness.
Second, and closely related, is the willingness and desire to experiment freely in
education. This has been particularly exemplified in our evening division, Millard Fillmore College, in which have
been started experimental curricula that
later have become full-fledged divisions
or schools of the University, helping to
up-grade the professional and cultural
life of the community.
Third, is the opportunity to advance
knowledge through the interplay and
support of both sponsored and unsponsored or fundamental research. Much of
the research conducted by the urban university is fundamental or theoretical in
character and is performed by departments of the University itself. Added to
this, however, through close association
with the industries of the vicinity, are research activities performed under contract in both fundamental and applied
science. The combination of the practical
or applied and the fundamental or theoretical research gives added resources and
strength not only to the University, but
to the industrial and business enterprises
in the urban area.
Fourth, the city itself comprises a great
human laboratory where those in the
Social Sciences and the Humanities may

observe both deterioration and progress
and may make discoveries in the field of
human relationships which will be pertinent to our civilization in which the increasing population and complexities arc
posing ever more difficult problems.
Fifth, is the opportunity to provide
continuing educational resources in Adult
Education. In this area, the urban university is virtually unique, since it is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of
citizens whose interests as adults run the
whole gamut of human knowledge and
to whom modern business is able to give
the leisure in which to pursue further

education.

And finally, the urban university is subto almost daily criticism by those
who comprise the metropolitan population. In this is one of its strengths which
must not be overlooked. The very fact

ject

Bulletin

that utterances of its professors in the
classroom or in the public forum are subjected to immediate and critical evaluation with approval or disapproval expressed in no uncertain terms, is a healthy
situation in which both the community
and the professors are the gainers. By this
statement I want no one to imply that I
believe that professors should fail or
hesitate to express the facts or the theories as they see them and to be protected
in such statements by the University administration. Rather, I wish to point out
that the immediate reaction to thenstatements provides them with an opportunity to evaluate and to improve their
own ideas and to see those areas of human
relationships in the community where
further careful education is needed.
As a voluntarily-supported urban university, is it likely that the University of
Buffalo will succeed in meeting this new
and tremendous problem before it? This
is not the first time in its history that the
University of Buffalo has faced a critical
period. In its very beginnings, in 1846, it
was faced with the necessity to raise
money to erect a new building and to
the costs connected with the establishment of a School of Medicine. Fortunately, it enrolled a student body of "89

can learn after some association with it,
is the greatness of our University. May I
quote oncemore from the writings of Dr.
Capen in which he points out that, "...
the modern American university does not
live in splendid isolation as did the universities of an earlier day. Itforms an integral part of the affairs of the workaday
world. Its experts in the natural sciences,
the social sciences, and the several technologies not only teach students, they are
also called on to assist industry and commerce and government and the establishments for social welfare in finding the
answersto current problems of operation.
Its professors of law and medicine teach
their fellow practitioners as well as undergraduates, and keep the professions informed of the new discoveries and interpretations which bear on the daily work
of the practitioner. Its teachers of the
humanities consider that it is their task
to bring the great moral and esthetic
values which have been distilled out of
the experience of two thousand years of
western civilization to the attention not
only of the campus population, but also
of citizens of all ages and occupations
who may wish to become informed about
them

...

"Despite these changes of purpose and

active, intelligent young men" as
Professor Horton reports in his '"History
of Northwestern New York," a tradition in the composition of student body
which has lasted through the years. As
most of you know, the University existed
for some time as a Medical School only,
with other professional disciplines added
from time to time.
May I draw your attention to only one
more of the several critical periods in the
history of the University —the early

of method, the modern American university is no less a society of scholars than
were the universities of other times. Itis
still a guild of masters and neophytes
bound togetherby ties of common interest
and intimate association, cherishing old
and often picturesque customs, playing
communally in its hours of leisure with
a gusto not matched in any other social
group, imbued with a sense of solidarity

P,

This then is the University of Buffalo,
whose diplomas and certificates you will
carry away with you today as visible evidence that your lives are inextricably
connected with its future. If I have
seemed to emphasize the problems confronting the University in the future,
may I now ask you to realize that these
so-called problems are simply another
name for the vastopportunities which lie
before us. With the interest and aid of
you, the graduates, your friends and
neighbors, and the business and industry
of the area whose support has made possible not only the physical plant which
you see around you, but far more important, the brilliant and dedicated faculty with which you have been associated,
the University of Buffalo is determined
to accept its opportunities and move forward toward its ultimate destiny.

smart,

19205. On October 28, 1922, Dr. Samuel
Capen was inaugurated Chancellor of
the University. In the same autumn, the
University of Buffalo moved its headquarters to the present campus, the site of
the former County Poor Farm. I will exercise great restraint and refrain from
making any jokes about the fact that this
was once the site of the County Alms
House. The upsurge of the University of
Buffalo, from a collection of more or less
related and more or less autonomous divisions into a closely-knit University of
national prominence dates from the inauguration of Dr. Capen in 1922. To understand the physical growth of the University, may I suggest that you walk
around the campus this afternoon to see
what has been accomplished in slightly
more than 30 years, by the citizens of this

community.

What you cannot see, but which you

which its members carry with them
through life, however far they may

wander."

This basement recreation room is one of three student lounges
located in each dormitory. This room islocated in Macdonald Hall.

T^HE growth of the dormitory system
X is a manifestation of the growth of

the University. As the University enrollment grows, more out of town

Htt&amp;ue&amp;

students

are accepted and living quarters have to
be made available to them.
Prior to 1952 dormitories were unheard
of on the University campus. From 1952
to 1955four dormitories were built, each
housing 150students. Thefour story dormitories are of the most modern construction. The student quarters are double
rooms containing separate desks and
closet area. There are two lavatories on
each floor providing ample facilities for
theresidents.
The basement is the recreational and
working center of each dorm. It contains
a TV lounge, a generalrecreation lounge,
kitchenette and launderette. On the first
floor of each dormitory is a large lounge
area, beautifully furnished and well
lighted. It is in this area that most of the
dorm students congregate. The fourth
floor contains a combination study and
recreation lounge.
Caring for 600 students is no easy task.
It takes plenty of manpower to provide
the basic care for theresidents. The chief
administrator for the dormitories is the
Director of Housing and Food Services.
He has on his staff an assistant and secretary-receptionist. There are four head
residents, one of whom is Director of
Men's Dormitories. There are twelve assistant headresidents, three in each dorm.
The supervisor of housekeeping has on
his staff 8 maids, 4 janitors, 6 student
janitors and 4 student linen distributors.
Asidefrom caring for thephysical needs
of the student residents, the dormitory
system is well equipped to handle the
psychological needs of the student.
Trained psychologists are available as
advisors to the men's and women's dor-

mitories.

With the expected student growth of
the University, plans have been made to
meet the influx. Because of the total expansion of the University over the entire
campus and because of economy in construction, the University, and everyone
else for that matter, will be looking vp
11 stories vp—to a new dormitory different in architecture from anything else
seen on the campus. This structure will
be the four year home of 440men students.
This "U.N. type" building will include
dining facilities for all the 440 students
living in that dorm and is designed for
ease in expansion to eventually feed all

—

dormitory residents.
This $2,300,000 giant will feature the
newest trends in dormitory living. The
basement will include a bookstore extension, post office, snack bar, kitchenette,
launderette, recreation lounge and a
movie and television room. The first
floor will include a general lounge and
student conference meeting room, and
each floor will have its own lounge. Every
floor will be administered by a resident
counselor who may be either a faculty
member or graduate student. Two high
speed elevators will service the dormitory.
But the future contains even greater
plans. To accommodate the 2,000 men
students expected as residents, two more
units similar to the proposed 11 story
structure are envisioned. A women's dormitory scheduled for completion in 1958
is also on the building agenda.
We do not remain idle. Itis the duty of
the University to meet the challenge of
expansion. The community and alumni
should be proud of the forward steps the
University is taking to keep its traditional high ranking to meet the competition in the field of education. The dormitories are only one phase in the University development, but fully indicative
of the total progress of the University.

was in their opinion, both inevitable and
unanimous, so important and continuous
have been his activities in behalf of the

Immediately after graduation in 1920,
he interned at the Buffalo General Hospital and was resident physician at the
Buffalo Children's Hospital. From 1922
to 1925 he was an instructor in pediatrics
on the faculty of Johns Hopkin's Medical
School in Baltimore, Md. In 1925, he returned to Buffalo and until 1933 was a
member of the faculty of the University
of Buffalo Schoolof Medicine. Since 1938
he has been Professor of Pediatrics at the

representatives nevertheless gave excellent accounts of themselves throughout
their inter-collegiate schedules.
Coach Bill Sanfords traditionally powerful tennis team scored an opening victory over the University of Rochester
amidst a swirling snowsquall and went
on from there to post a brilliant record of
9 victories and a lone defeat. The latter
was perpetrated by Colgate's Eastern Intercollegiate powerhouse the final match
of the season at Hamilton. Al Levy, Sanford's number-one singles star
and
Phi Beta Kappa ... to boot
earned a
modicum of consolation for U.B. in its
lone defeat by scoring the season's top
upset, a 6-4, 2-6, 8-6 victory over Colgate's number one player Leigh Strassner.
The tennis team has now lost three

...

matches in the last three years, all

to

Colgate.
The University of Buffalo baseball
Bulls, the early part of its schedule
ruined by the elements, is still striving
to make up postponements as this is
written. To date, U.B. has won six of
nine games played. Sixteen were originally scheduled.
Defensive lapses, caused mostly by inexperience, have been principally responsible for the three defeats. Coach Jim
Pccllc,forced to rebuild almost completely
last season's 13-3, NCAA Tournament
considered team, admits having had his
hair turned gray over the team's lack of
adequate defense. However, excellent hitting and a fine brand of pitching is a
cinch to compensate and provide a winning record when all returns are in.
'■And," saysPeelle, "we're a young club.
Watch out for us next year.

The highlight of the track and field
seasonwas U.B.s successful defense of its
own Invitation Meet. Coach Emery Fisher's youngsters upset the dope bucket and
three opponents in taking down the winners end of the area's top intercollegiate
competition, May 12. Buffalo State was
heavily favored on the strength of a dual
meet win scored over the Bulls earlier.
But paced by the brilliant Ron Grazen's
triple and big Franny Woidzik's field
event double, U.B. squeaked through to
its thrilling triumph.
14

That victory compensated completely
for a rather unspectacular team season in
which U.8., hindered by adequate balance in all events, managed only two dual
meet wins and an unpreposing finish in
the second annual New York State Intercollegiate Meet at Hamilton.
Grazen, in the latter affair, highballed
unofficial 220-yard record, but a 15-25 mile an hour tailing wind will undoubtedly prevent official recognition of
the feat.

Grid Bulls Look
Promising During

Spring Practice
A total of 61 players answered Dick Offenhamer's springpractice call with another
seven excused from the 20 day session because of their participation in spring
sports.

Offenhamer will have fourteen lettermen returning next fall plus some outstanding sophomores with which to work
his split-T magic. The coach, in his second year at the helm of the football Bulls,
has a returning veteran for every position
except fullback. However, there is no
guarantee that all or even most of last
year's monogram winners will be able to
withstand the challenge to their jobssure

The Bulls are looking forward to improving the 4-4-1 record of last season

despite a tougher 1956 schedule.

There is no question about it! Alumni

Weekend on Campus was a thorough success; from the General Alumni Board

Dinner at Norton Union on Friday night
to Commencementin front of Lockwood

As far as the weather was concerned, it
was almost a miracle that after weeks of
cold, rainy days suddenly spring burst out
into a weekend of ideal weather for out-

Serfustini, a graduate of Buffalo Technical High School, will return to Buffalo

with an outstanding winning percentage
—.700—during his four year tenure at
Troy (Ala.) Teachers College. Troy was
ranked with the strongest small college
teams in the nation during that period,
having been invited three times to participate in the NAIA tournament, the
minors equivalent of the NCAA.

The GAB dinner was a very great success with over 60 in attendance. The members of the Board werepleased to have the
dinner meeting on campus and the consensuswas that the campus never looked
better. A cocktail party in the Faculty
Club preceded the dinner.
The coffee and citation ceremony early
Saturday morning attracted approximately 200 people. Chancellor and Mrs.
Furnas moved freely among the crowd at
the coffee paying their respects to many
of their friends. The citation ceremony
progressed smoothly and presented a fine

program.
The luncheon and alumni TUNK were
experiences that all those attending will
long remember. Never in the history of
the University has such an affair taken
place. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed
themselves. There was nothing but praise
for the entire occasion.
If June 9 was an enjoyable day for the
adults, joy must have overwhelmed the

The outstanding portion of the program was the awarding of a citation to
Donald McMaster, AC 17 for his service
to the University and alumni. Mr. McMaster spoke to the group of his travels
in Europe prior to the Hitler invasions.
Guests from the University included:

children. With a corral of six ponies and
bright red fire engine to ride, the children kept the parents busy running back
and forth between the tents and the play
area. The younger children had sufficient
facilities available to them in addition to
the babysitters to supervise their play.
The swimming pool was welcomed by
many of the children who sought relief
from the heat.
The alumni dance sponsored by the
Alumnae Association was the most successful in years. Tommy Rizzo and his
orchestra varied the music style to aca

commodate everyone's tastes.
It was estimated that a total of 400

alumni, friends, husbands and wives attended the luncheon and TUNK. The
events of the complete weekend, including citations, luncheon, TUNK and dance
lured approximately 800 to the various
locations of alumni activities.
Without a doubt, this year's Alumni
Weekend established a precedent which
should reap a rich harvest of good alumni
times in the years to come.

Eiken had Serfustini at UB as a pupil
during his early years here. The 6-feet-l,
190 pound Tech graduate proved a rugged
rebounder and an outstanding defensive
performer. He also played football.
Eiken, even at that time recognized
Scrfustini's potential as a coach, and
taught the finer points of the game to the
eager player.
The retiring coach expressed himself
enthusiastically upon being notified of
Serfustini's appointment.
"'I consider Len an excellent choice,"
said Mai. "He is a thorough student of
the game and a tremendously nice guy.
He is sure to be popular with the players,
alumni, fans, press and radio. I am flat-

tered beyond words that the University
chose one of my former players as my
successor."

�COLLEGE GRADUATES
AND THEIR
LATER SUCCESS
A Study by Dr. Edward S. Jones

reported by
Dr. W. Leslie Barnette

rT"'OO few universities know what beJ_ comes of their graduates and the relations between academic careers and
later occupational success. A recently
completed study (University of Buffalo
Studies, 1956, 22, No. 4) by Dr. Edward
S. Jones, former Director of the Office of
Personnel Research and now Professor of
Psychology, is of great interest and value
in this regard. Dr. Jones' study is a follow-through of records and other data
on over 450 UB graduates who have been
Dr. Edward S.Jones was born in Aiadura, India
in 1888. Hereceived bis A.B. from Oberlin College in
1908 and bis Ph.D. from the University of Chicago
in 1917.
Dr. Jones was assistant director of the vocational
bureau of the Cincinnati Public Schoolsfrom 1913 to

psychological service of the U.S. Army. He was
assistant professor of psychology at Oberlin College
f?#mAsl9 to 1923 and was appointed professor at the
University ofBuffalo in 1923.
1925 to 1952 Dr. Jones was director of the
personnel office at the University and from 1941 to
1952 he was Dean of Students, retiringfrom administrative work in 1952. For 20years he was in general
charge of College Credit Examinations for Superior
Students. He has worked under the General Education Board Foundation on Examinations in American Colleges and under the Carnegie Foundation
Branch on College Credit Examinations. He was
Fullbrigbt Professor at the University of the Phil-

ippines in 1949.

During the past 30 years Dr. Jones has written
over 40 books and articles, mainly in the personnel
field. He is a member of the American Personnel and

DR. EDWARD S. JONES

college from 15 to 20 years, with
special emphasis on 167 men for whom
there was the most complete information.
The study utilized data of unusual variety:
grades, aptitude test results, personality
ratings, range of interests, feelings of
confidence, parental background, attitudes and opinions, etc. One of the great
out of

difficulties in all such studies is the selection of adequate and fair criteria of later
success. Here Dr. Jones used several indices: income, success ratings by associates and by college professors who kept
in touch with the graduate, self-satisfaction with one's career, degree of living up

potential (as indicated by college
grades and aptitude test scores). In this
short report attention may only be given
to the majorresults; interestedreaders are
referred to the original report, copies of
to

which may be secured from the Office of
the Dean, College of Arts and Sciences,
292 Hayes Hall.
Dr. Jones found very good evidence that
college grades, nearly always in line with
the high school record, are of real importance in predicting one's advancement
in science and education; they appear to
be of little value in predicting one's later
success in the fields of social service (including law) and business. In these latter
areas the range of a man's socialization
(such as participation in extracurricular
activities) and leadership appear to be
more important.
Results from freshman aptitude tests (a

battery of psychological

tests

measuring

mental ability, English skills, reading
comprehension and the like) are useful in
predicting success in areas whereresearch
ability is involved and for those who go
into education. A complicating factor
here is that of motivation as with the
high aptitude man who becomes satisfied
with a low or even average success level
in his college work.
Extracurricular activities are an imtotalrecord, the significance of which varies a great deal for
portant part of the

different groups. Mere expression of a

'

wide range of interests or beinga joiner
indicates little. The more weight one
gives to leadership, the more useful as a

later success predictor —as with law and
business positions where social contacts
are important. On the other hand, participation in these activities on campus are
of little value for later success in scientific

research.

Dr.
worked out an achievement
or motivation index, which took into account academic grades in relation to a

Jones

student's tested aptitudes. This may be a
more important measure than college
grades alone. This was especially true for
the business group in which there were
several graduates with low-average college grades and low aptitude test scores
butwho have advanced very successfully.
Involved here is, of course, the ability to
survive in a four-year training program
and which might well be indicative of
superior motivation or drive.
Alumni

�Personality ratings from professors and
from associates (as a student), including
early impressions by counselors in student
interview situations, may be useful in
estimating the chances of later success,
especially in social service and business
areas. Ratings of personal attractiveness
and for poise seem, for example, to correlate with later success (except for science).
The role of the scientist seems to be
different from that of the other groups.
To be ultimately successful, whether in
medicine, research, or engineering, the
graduate has had to be attentive to academic success. Here one's social participation is less important than one's energy
or alertness in college classes or labora-

jobs and are not promoted to positions of

responsibility. As men continue
in supervised or restricted jobs they become increasingly less satisfied unless they
are qualified (usually with the PhD degree) for research or are appointed to
greater

tories.

A man's satisfaction with his occupation is a product of several factors. Naturally it is related to his earned income,
especially in business, but other considerations may be more important when
looking at the people in non-business
careers. The relatively high satisfaction
which men have in scientific research and
in teaching, compared to administrative
jobs in schools or offices or as regards
mediocre engineering positions, suggests
that men like to be on their own without

close supervision and time-accountability. Teachers were typically found to
have a high level of satisfaction with

their work and which would also be tied
in with their relative de-emphasis on economic or financial gains; many of these
men were youngest sons in fairly large
families whose parents did not have the
benefit of high educational or social
status. On the other hand, sons of parents
withonly grammar school education who
later went into business have not been
well satisfied possibly because family influence may play such an important role
in business success.
In one's early years of work in industry
most men seem fairly satisfied unless they
find themselves in small or mediocre office

Dr. W. Leslie Barnette wasborn in Leßoy, N. Y.
on July 8, 1910. He graduated from Lafayette High
School in Buffalo in 1928, received his B.A. in 1932
and his M.A. in 1936, both from the University of
Buffalo. Dr. Barnettereceived his Ph.D. from New
York University in 1949.
He hasbeen an instructor at the Buffalo Collegiate
Center, Buffalo State Teachers College, Pace College
and New York University before returning to the
University ofBuffalo as Director of the Vocational
CounselingCenter. Dr. Barnette's many positions at
the University include those of associate professor
director
of psychology, director of student counseling,
testing.
ofvocational counseling, anddirectorof group
During World War II Dr. Barnette served as a
psychologist research assistant at San Antonio Aviation Cadet Center. He had further duty as a consultantto psychoneurotic patients, and thenforeign service with the OSS in Kandy, Ceylon and in Singapore, as
of theresearch and analysis branch of

chief

OSSfor the India-Burma Theater.
His work with the OSS in the Far East provided
the beginning of interest in India and the East, and
inspired him to accept a Fullbright grant in 1952-1953 as a visiting professor of psychology and guidance at the Central Institute of Education in Delhi,
India.

executive positions. Looking at those
now in sales, these seem to show more
satisfaction with their careers—providing they remain in this areafor 15or more
years. Although they may not have been
good students, a fair amount of social expressiveness may have helped them in influencing others and their efforts in this
direction haveresulted in direct rewards.
The overall results of Dr. Jones' study
indicate that a college graduate of good
academic standing and fair ability to mix
with others need have little fear of getting
ahead in most fields. In recent years, certainly, this college graduate has been in
great demand, but his earned income may
depend more on the vocational field he
selects, or on the influence of relatives,
than on any extra effort he may apply to
his job. For example, a person of moderate ability, but with leadership qualities
or with family support, may do well in
business but will be much less secure elsewhere. Not surprising, for advancement
in college teaching and in scientific research, genuine interest in academic subject matter is far more important than is
extracurricular involvement.
This writer would also like to point
out another very valuable feature of Dr.
Jones' study—aside from the follow-up
information mainly stressed in this brief
report. From the point of view of the
University counseling staff, such extensive and detailed data become of great
value in the advising and counseling of
currently enrolled students. Counselors
may learn from this report some of the
important kinds of data which tie in with
later success in different areas; we get a
glimpse of what sorts of information are
important and what is more or less irrelevant. Not only has Dr. Jones done a service in pointing out long-range trends but
he has also caused those people dealing
with current students to look more carefully for other signs which may be of
value or hindrance to later success.

Even if you are just an occasional reader of the "Alumni Bulletin" you will notice that Dr. Jones' study is occupying
the space ordinarily reserved for the Alumni News Items.
Dr. Barnette's report ofthe study is substituting for news items for two reasons. First, it is an excellent account of a

�Letters
to

the Editor:

The following letters are in response to a request in the June Bulletin for expressions of preference
of whether alumni would rather
read "Alumni News Items" or
articles of specialinterest byfaculty

members or alumni. These letters
reflect the general feeling of the
alumni.
We look forward to letters from
alumni on any phase of the magazine. Please feel free to voice your
opinions concerning the contents.
All letters of interest will be published.

Dear Sir:
There is always controversy when it
comes to choosing what material is more
interesting to read. Personally I think
there is no solution. Alumni News Items
are interesting; so are good articles by
able people. Please give us both.
C. Downer, '48
Dear Sir:
In reference to the last page of the
Alumni Bulletin; Academic Articles vs
Alumni News—I am in favor of the
Alumni News. Even though the recent
article was excellent, the function of the
Alumni Bulletin is to inform the alumni
of the progress and activities of the University and to wherethe alumni are and
what they are doing. This gives a more
personal meaning to the Bulletin. I hope
you will include again, in the very near
future, the Alumni News section.
L. P. Garo, BS(Busjs2
Dear Sir:

Excellent Commencementissue received

through forwarding service of local post
office.
An unusual paper as an occasional substitute for Alumni Notes is readable and
welcome.

Dorr Vide, LLB'O4

Dear Sir:
You solicited comment regarding Dr.
Barnett's article in the last issue of the
Alumni Bulletin; I am happy to have this
opportunity to tell you how much I enjoyed his article. It seems to me that
similar articles would do much to inform
the alumni of significant work being carried on by members of our faculty. This
article concerning Dr. Jones' work was
an excellent beginning; I hope you can
continue this trend in future issues.
Ivan L. Bunnell, MA '42, MD'43
Dear Sir:
I'm celebrating my first anniversary as
an alumnus by sending this note of thanks
for publishing Dr. Leslie W. Barnett's
article about Dr. Jones' study.
As a speech major, I can't pretend to
evaluate the article (I pulled a C in
Psych. 101 and decided to conceal my inadequacies by staying away from advanced courses). However, I can report
that I found the article far more interesting than the Alumni News Items which
normally occupy the space.
I hope you'll continue to carry news of
general interest about other alumni. The
space usually given to notices of births,
minor promotions and social activities,
however, could be more profitably used
to carry articles about current academic
activities at the University —such as Dr.

Jones' study.

Once again, thanks for publishing the
article. It did more to stimulate my pride
in my alma mater than a dozen pages of
vital statistics about other alumni.
Robert R. Smith, BA'55

Dear Editor:
Insomuch as my husband and I look
forward to reading the Alumni News
Items, we were disappointed to find it
omitted this issue. You are to be congratulated, however, on the fine Bulletin now being published.
Rita Connelly Qor)

JohnJ. Connelly, MD'42

..

Dear Sir:
In the June 1956 issue of the Bulletin
you state:
it is questionable whether alumni
wouldrather read Alumni News Items or
articles of particular interest.
There isn't any question that I would
rather read Alumni News Items.
The particular article happened to be
of personal interest but if a rule is to be
followed, I prefer the Alumni News
Items.
Perhaps things will get to the point
where Alumni News Items will be
printed separately and sent to those
sufficiently interested to subscribe to it.

Letter
to

the Alumni:

Dear Alumni:
Ithas been a long time since most of us
used the Latin we learned in high school.
In fact the only Latin we may remember
are phrases such as "veni, vidi, vici" or
our high school and college mottos.
As former university students we do
have reason to refer to our fellow classmates of the past by the use of Latin
terms. Because these words are used more
and more as our alumni body grows and
becomes more active, this seems like an
appropriate time for everyone to brush up
on those long lost Latin words.
In referring to the various alumni, the
proper way to do so follows:
alumna—feminine, singular
alumnae (ne)—feminine, plural
alumnus—masculine, singular
alumni—masculine, plural
alumni—mixed, plural
I hope all you "ALUMNUSSES" remember the proper way to refer to your
former classmates.

�the idea

of a university .

..

A UNIVERSITY is an institution in which the advancement of knowledge is deliberately and
officially fostered, an institution which is committed not only to the higherforms of instruction
but also to research, and which rests its reputation on the quality of its scholarly output. In all its
departments it is devoted to inquiry and to intellectual creation. Hence, all of its educational
activities, on whatever level they may be inducted and toward whatever practical ends they may be
directed,are informed by the spirit of research, are made to square with the standards of intellectual
integrity set by the research scholar.
Since these are its central purposes, the university is and must be an institution without intellectual
boundaries. It is and must be wholly free to prosecute the search for truth unhampered by the possibility of a veto imposed from without or from above. Any aspect of nature, any work of man, any
accepted idea, any entrenched prejudice, any institution of society, must be for it a fair field for new
discovery. There must be no restraints upon the publication of its findings and interpretations, whether these happen to be popular or unpopular. Those who pursue the truth under its sponsorship,
whether they be teachers or students, must not live in fear of discipline, would they chance to offend
some institutional official or even an influential segment of the generalpublic
You are life members of a distinguished and rapidly developing university. In the long run, the
alumni of American universities are responsible for what each institution becomes. They constitute
the dominant groups of citizens in these republics of letters. As such they hold the ultimate destinies
of the universities in their hands. The future and welfare of the University of Buffalo, therefore, will
be largely determined by what you and thousands of other graduatesthink it should be; in short, by
your idea of a university, and by the influence you exert in the support of that idea

�Samuel p. capen
1878-1956
by

Dr. Earl J. McGrath, BA'2B, MA'3O
It was in the fall of 1923 that I first saw Dr. SamuelP. Capcn, when he

had been Chancellor of the University for less than a year. For most of the

thirty-three years, it was my good fortune to be associated with him
in one capacity or another, and, as the years passed, our professional
association matured into a warm personal friendship which afforded
some of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
It would not be difficult to document Dr. Capen's preeminent position
in American higher education. From the time he became specialist in
higher education in the United States Office of Education more than
forty yearsago to the day he left the chancellorship of the University, he
was recognized throughout the United States as one of America's great
educational statesmen. There is, regrettably, no comprehensive history
of higher education in this country, but when it is written, Samuel Paul
Capen will be one of the illustrious and influential figures of the first half
of the twentieth century.
Others will accurately record for posterity Dr. Capen's achievements at the University of Buffalo and on the national scene. On
this occasion, Ihave been asked to recall some of the traits of personality and character which it was my good fortune to have an
opportunity to observe in close personal association with him over a quarter of a century.
To some who knew him only casually, he may have seemed to be austere and cold. This impression was doubtless conveyed
by his conviction that a man in public office, whether it be in a government or a private organization, in a very real sense symbolized the institution he represented. Hence, he believed that an official should exhibit in his own personal conduct those qualities
for which the institution should stand—integrity, dedication to the public good, propriety, and seriousness of purpose.
He frowned upon frivolity, indelicacy, or indifference to public opinion. Yet his was a warm and considerate personality, and
though his close friendships may have been few, they were rich and lasting. He was unusually sensitive to the feelings of others and
considerate of their welfare.
In spite of the rigid standard of conduct he imposed upon himself, he was kindly and understanding in his appraisal of others and
especially restrained in imposing his own convictions on other men. This attitude was frequently revealed in his advice to others. He
was always ready and willing to counsel with those who felt the need of help in dealing with a serious personal or professional
problem. Many times through the years, I was amazed at the many hours he would give out of a very busy life in talking with persons who sought his advice. Yet he never, at least in mypersonal experience, would make a final decisionfor anyone. For he believed
completely in personal freedom and self-determination of one's destiny. Hence, it was his practice to explore various courses of action
and their probable consequences, his wisdom bringing to bear on these matters factors and influences frequently overlooked by those of
less mature judgment and foresight, but, in the end, he would invariably add, "But this is only as I see it, and you will have to
make your own decision."
The quality that endeared him most to those who knew him well was his infectious and subtle humor. This capacity to see the
comic and amusing in the ordinary daily activities of men, including his own, was uncommon. His capacity for hearty and sustained
laughter was great indeed. On some occasions I saw him laugh until tears came to his eyes and sometimes it seemed to me that he
gained the greatest fun from relating anecdotes in which he himselfwas the central figure in an amusing situation. Dr. Capcn spent
many summers on the Maine coast. He loved the New England region and often spoke of his experiences there, especially those relating to sailing. One of the most amusing anecdotes was concerned with his running a sailing vessel aground during his youth and
the ridicule he was subjected to by the local devotees of the art and science of seamanship. Another is concerned with the simple
dress he wore at his summer home. He was hardly distinguishable from the natives. On one occasion a wealthy man drove up in a
Cadillac in front of the general store and, seeing Dr. Capen on the steps, said to him, "My good man, I'll give youfive dollars if you
will row me over to the island." Dr. Capen enjoyed relating these tales which, to others, revealed not only his keen sense of humor,
butmore particularly his basic modesty and humility, and his essential greatness of mindand spirit.
Another quality of character which we might well emulate in these days of disturbance and uncertainty was his clear vision of a
life objective and his resolute pursuit of a goal. He saw in the fragmented, simple, and little-known divisions of the University of
Buffalo in 1922 the great future urban university which it is today. The early years of thereconstituted university, beginning in 1922,
were filled with frustration, lack of material resources, public indifference, false charges ofradicalism, and sometimes even personal
attack on the views and the character of theChancellor. Through these years he had many opportunities to go elsewhere to positions
ofgreater immediate eminence and financial reward. To all these he turned a deaf ear andrenewed his faith and his efforts in the growing University of Buffalo. This institution, for endless years, will stand as a monument to his achievements and as a symbol of his
dedication to reason as the instrument for the solution of the ever-recurring problems of mankind. We alumni who have been the
beneficiaries of his unparallelled leadership may well remind ourselves of those fitting words, "Here was a Caesar! When comes
such another?"

Mitchell, associate director of the Creative Education Foundation was director
of this year's Institute.
The Institute was co-sponsored by the
Creative Education Foundation of Buffalo, which is intended to provide knowledge of educational methods for development of individual creativity and to provide training in the use of "brainstorming" and other creative procedures for
organized problem-solving.
All the sessions featured case histories
of recent developments in creative education and in operational application of the
principles and procedures in Alex F. Osborn's textbook "Applied Imagination."
Mr. Osborn ispresident of the foundation
and originator of the techniqueof brainstorming."
The Institute was opened in Kleinhans
Music Hall where a panel of fifteen men
and women from various walks of life developed 125 solutions to the hoodlumism
problem. The moderator of the panel was
Willard A. Pleuthner, vice president of
Batten, Barton, Durstine and Osborn Inc.

For two additional days approximately
330 educators, industrial executives and
military men from all parts of the country
listened attentively and participated enthusiastically in the creative thinking
sessions.
Mr. Osborn defines "brainstorming"
as "the method by which groups of people are organized to produce quantities of

note address of Major General MatthewK. Deichelmann.

The address was entitled "America's Need for Creative
Power." A crowd of over 500 attendedthis session.

ideas on specific problems, by means of
joint and oral ideation."
This method of problem-solving is
essentially basic. When the average individual has a problem, he may seek a solution by discussing it with his friends, he
may mull it over in his mind, or he may
"talk to himself" or "think aloud."
If, however, he has been indoctrinated
with the theories of "creative imagination," he does none of these things as
such. He goes into a "brainstorming"
session, which to a degree combines all
three of the problem-solving techniques
of the individual.
Three rules of creative problem solving
were set forth by Mr. Osborn during his

opening night address:
"Judgment is ruled out: Criticism of
ideas

must be withheld

until later. "Free

Wheeling" is welcomed: The wilder the

idea the better; it is easier to tame down
than to think up. Quantity is wanted:
The greater the numberof ideas, the more
likelihood of good ones.
Mr. Osbornpaid tribute to the pioneering of The University of Buffalo in the
field of creative thinking. He said the
University "allowed us to conduct experimental courses" in that subject seven
years ago "despite the fact that we had
no textbook and no syllabus."
Mr. Osborn said that the basic credit
for our propitious start belongs to The
University of Buffalo and it was his fond
hope that when the century's history of
education is written, The University of
Buffalo may be referred to as "the cradle
of creativity."

session on the subject of creative
steps as used in the G.E. program.

�University Receives
$10,000,000 From
Hochstetter Estate

University News Items

The University of Buffalo was the recipient of a $10,000,000 bequest from the
late Ralph Hochstetter. This amount
represents the largest bequest the University has ever received and is in addition

to the $290,000

Mr. Hochstetter be-

queathed to the University for a new
physics building to be known as Hochstettcr Hall.

Mr. Hochstetter, president of Cliff

Petroleum Co. died May 27, 1955- He
was born in Buffalo November 3, 1869
and at the time of his death he lived at
152 Lincoln Parkway.

Under the terms of the will, the royalties are "to be employed and separately
administered as independent funds by the
University for the support of research
fellows who shall be graduates in medi-

cine from recognized medical schools and

who shall have completed the necessary
preliminary training to enable them to

engage in research in their chosen fields."
The fellowships are to be known as the
Dr. Henry C. Busweil and Bertha H.
Buswell Fellowships (Mrs. Buswell was
Mr. Hochstetter's sister).
The bequest marked the end of a long
and unhappy misunderstanding between
the Medical School and the Buswell
family. It began when the Niagara University Medical College with which Dr.
Buswell was affiliated, went out of existence in 1898, leaving The University of
Buffalo Medical School the only one in
the area.

Dr. Buswell, known as one of America's foremost diagnosticians, differed with
members of the University Medical School
faculty. Subsequently, when he needed
medical treatment, he went to Rochester.
When he died he left bequests to Rochester but none to Buffalo.
Mr. Hochstetter also planned to leave
the bulk of his fortune to The University
of Rochester but became enough interested in The University of Buffalo to
give money for the new physics building.
Six physicians have been named Buswellresearch fellows in the University of
Buffalo Medical School in accordance
with the terms of the will. They are: Dr.
Charles U. Lowe, director of research at
the Children's Hospital and professor of
pediatrics at the Medical School; Dr.
Albert C. Rekate, MD'4O, assistant professor of medicine at the Medical School;
Dr. George Rozsa, assistant professor of

experimental pathology at the Medical
School; Dr. John T. Sharp, MD'49, re-

search fellow, American Heart Association, Buffalo General Hospital; Drs. Paul
J. Lißassi and Vivian E. H. Brooks,
surgical residents, Buffalo General Hos-

pital.

Norton Hall is often called, is, as you

playing, relaxing or serving on the various committees helping to plan its many
programs. From early morning to late at
night, seven days a week, the doors of
Norton are open to all students, faculty,
and alumni, whowish to use its facilities.
The facilities are many and varied, and
include a cafeteria and private dining
rooms seating over 600 people, a snack

where you can purchase anything from
textbooks to U.B. baby booties, conference rooms, study rooms, Photography

the Band, the Program Committee, the
Inter-Fraternity Council and the PanHellenic Council and last butnot least the
Board of Managers are also in this building. There are lounges for men and women and a Music Room equipped with a
High-Fidelity System.
Among the many services rendered by
Norton Hall are ditto and mimeograph,
travel information, theater discount
cards, a lobby counter, (where cigarettes,
candy may be purchased, checks cashed
and information given) organizational
and individual mail boxes, inter-campus
and public telephones and a reservation
desk for meeting and conference rooms
within the building.
In order to provide these many services
fifty-four students were employed as parttime employees in the various departments and earned over $8,000 to help
them with their tuition and fees. These
are in addition to the regular fifteen full
time members of the Staff exclusive of the
bookstore and cafeteria.
Another one of the important features
of Norton is its program of events organized entirely by students who make
up the Program Committee assisted by a
full time staff person known as the Pro-

gram Coordinator.
The Program Committee consists of the
Chairman of six sub-committees namely,
Dance, Mixer, Music, Publicity, Recreation, Visual Arts with a general chairman and secretary. Together they coordinate the programs to include a balance of social, recreational and cultural
activities. Last year this committee
offered to the membership of Norton Hall,

fifty-nine events with an attendance total
of over 17,000.
Among the events offered entirely free
of charge are: Coffee hours, Open Houses,
exam refreshment hours, Stunt Night,
community sings, record and "live concerts," tournaments in pinochle, bridge,

billiards, table tennis, etc. Dances include Friday nights in the Snack Bar,
Homecoming Eve, Harvest, Moving Up
Day, and the highlight of the fall semester, The Silver Ball, held before Christmas.
A MusicRoom, operated by the Music
Committee has a record collection ranging from Bach to Brubeck including
operas, musical comedies, jazz and even
Harry Belafonte. Students are welcome to
come in to this room at any time and
enjoy listening to their favorite requests.
A series of full length movies, art contests, exhibitions, and shows are presented to fulfill the aesthetic interests of
the Students.
Those interested in vending their creative talents may find various publicity
outlets such as posters, slingers, newspaper articles, public address announcements ,in Publicity Committee work.
Any student with an acceptable academic
average is eligible and is encouraged to
join these Norton Committees which
sponsor the above named events.
Last year the House Committee took a
pedestrian count from seven o'clock in the
morning when Norton Hall opened until
10 o'clock at night and discovered that
over 9,000 persons entered the building
on any one day. Besides the student and
faculty groups who used our facilities,
over 240 outside groups representing
alumni and other educationally connected
groups also enjoyed the facilities of Norton Hall and its dining facilities. The
total number of meetings scheduled for
the year 1955-56 numbered over 3,100
meetings. The total cost of operating
Norton Hall, including salaries, Program
Committee Events, office supplies, printing, telephone, electricity, heat, insurance,

janitorial supplies, repairs,

etc.,

amounted to over $72,000 last year.
The Chancellor has said many rimes
"the University should afford you an

to learn to live as well as to
learn to make a living." Therole of Norton Hall on the University of Buffalo
campus is to help every student to "learn
to live" as well as to complete the academic requirements for a degree. The door
to Norton Hall is always open and we encourage the students to use it whenever

�Bulls' 13-6 Win Over
Carnegie Tech Highlights
Homecoming Celebration
What has been termed "the

greatest

homecoming" in the history of the University of Buffalo unfolded on Friday,
September 28, and continued on until the
early hours of Sunday, September 30th.
The climax of the three day annual
event was a thrilling University of Buffalo "Bulls" 13 to 6 victory over the
Carnegie Tech "Tartans" at Rotary Field
on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.
The "Bulls," fresh from their 26-12
victory the week before over Cortland
State, got off on the wrong side of the
Scoreboard as Carnegie Tech tallied the
first six points. But Buffalo was quick to
retaliate by scoring early in the second
quarter with Lou Reale crashing over
from the 1 yard line for the score.
The score was 6-6 at the half when Dr.
Clifford C. Furnas exhorted the returning
alumni and students to "get behind this
team and give them all your support to
win this game."
The encouragement from alumni and
students sparked the Bulls to 4th quarter
score with co-captain Dick Doll, Lou
Reale, Ken Born and Chuck Daniels
cracking the "Tartans" line for vital
yardage. Ken Born, a Rochester, N. Y.
sophomore, scored the second touchdown. Norm Pyzikiewicz, co-captain,
kicked the extra point.
Thrills were a dime a dozen in the last
five minutes of the game. Fine defensive
play by Doll, Dick Van Volkenburg of
Hamburg, N. V., Jim Keats, of Johnsonburg, Pa., and Elmira's bigFran Woidzik
kept the "Tartans" away from the goal
line.
It was a fine, hard fought ballgame, a
credit to the loser as well as the victor.
The record crowd of over 7,000 was
pleased by the exciting action.
The students started thingsrolling for
the hectic weekend with a football rally
on Friday night. The rally began by
choosing a Homecoming Queen. The
Homecoming Queen is chosen from the
freshman student body, and this year a
lovely 18 year old nursing student, Sandy
Smith, was crowned queen. Her attendants were Penny Ponikowski and Marge
McDonnell. Miss Smith reigned at the
Friday night Student Homecoming Dance

at Norton Union, and also occupied a
seat of prominence at the Homecoming

Football game.
The student rally continued with a
snake-torch dance from Norton Hall
through the dormitory area over to
Rotary Field. The cheering and singing
was loud and enthusiastic. The program
also consisted of a few words of encouragement from Ted Siekmann, director of
alumni relations, and Dr. Merton Ertell,
assistant vice-chancellor. A huge bonfire
illuminated the sky for miles around.
Saturday was the day for alumni. The
Acting Chancellor, Dr. Claude E. Puffer,
was host in the morning for coffee in the
Faculty Club to the General Alumni
Board, University Council members, and
special guests. Approximately 90 people
were present at this informal gathering
to meet and talk things over with Dr.
Puffer and Dr. Clifford C. Furnas, who
returned from his Washington post to
take part in the Homecoming activities.
Immediately after the coffee, dedication ceremonies of Hochstetter Hall took
place in the huge lectureroom of this new
$750,000 physics building. Lewis G.
Harriman, vice chairman of the University Council and chairman of the Manufacturers &amp; Traders Trust Co. reviewed
the growth of the school in the main
address at the dedication. Mr. Harriman
said "that the University of Buffalo has
grown to a great united university, offering educational opportunity for thousands seeking liberal arts and scientific
education." Chancellor Furnas and Acting Chancellor Puffer spoke briefly.
Also present at the dedication were 30
of the top science students from the local
high schools. They were guests of the
University at luncheon and the football
game.
The General Alumni Board luncheon
took place at Norton Union at noon. Approximately 90 members turned out for
this annual affair. Owen B. Augspurger,
Jr., LLB'37, president elect of the Executive Committee of the General Alumni
Board, presided in the absence of President Edward F. Mimmack, DDS'2I. Dr.
Puffer and Dr. Furnas spoke briefly to the

group.

Charles Percival, BS(Bus)'47, vice
president for associations and clubs, introduced the members from all the area
clubs. Owen Augspurger presented the
long distance award to Walter E. Came,
BS(Bus)'3O, and DeLano Rice, BS(Bus)
'30. Mr. Came came all the way from
Shreveport, Louisiana and Mr. and Mrs.
Rice from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Homer

Knickerbocker, PhG'93, MD'9B, who is
84 years young, came with Mrs. Knickerbocker from Geneva, N. V., and took
part in the full day's program.
The Alumni "TUNK" is getting bigger and better every year. The Faculty
Club was bursting at its joists with over
600 alumni celebrating the football victory. The Bisonhead Honor Society
Alumni acted as host again this year.
Dinner and dancing comprised the evening's entertainment. Over 300 attended
dinner and an estimated 600 were present
for dancing. Tommy Jlizzo, BA'4B, and
his orchestra played continuously for

dancing.

Owen Augspurger acted as toastmaster
in the absence of Dr. Edward Mtmmack.
Mr. Augspurger introduced the varsity
coaches' wives, who in turn introduced
varsity coaches Fred Dunlap, Karl Kluckhohn and head coach Dick Offenhamer.
Dr. Puffer and Dr. Furnas spoke briefly to
the dinner guests.
If you are an alumnus and you missed
the September 29 Homecoming events,
we are sorry. Perhaps you can make plans
for next year. The tentative dates for
next year, 1957, are October 12, Buffalo
vs. Western Reserve, or November 9,
Buffalo vs. Cortland State. This year
things were great; next year we'll try to
make them better.

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

�Your University
Its Purpose, Objectives and Philosophy of Education

The following report is a section of the data that was presented for consideration to the Commission on
Institutions of Higher Education, Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
The "evaluation team" of educational experts was on campus October 29, 30 aod 31 for an intensive study of
the University.
The survey is made every ten years, and a year before the team arrives the institution carries on a self-survey,
studying its own resources and the work its graduates are accomplishing.
Nearly fifty top teachers, university administrators and representatives of professional societies made up the
group examining university records, inspecting campus buildings and laboratory equipment, talking with
faculty members about their work and dropping in on classroom sessions.
The team's findings will be made available to University of Buffalo officials as a guide for planning. They
will also provide the Middle States Association with a documented basis for ruling on continuation of The
University of Buffalo as a fully accredited member.
The first thirty-one pages of the report deal with subjects of interest to every alumnus. To my knowledge,
this is the first publication of the University's purposes, objectives and philosophy of education to reach all
alumni. It makes extremely interesting reading and is most important to you in understanding your university.

WHAT ARE THE GENERAL PURPOSES TO WHICH THE
INSTITUTION IS COMMITTED BY REASON OF ITS
CHARTER, LEGAL REQUIREMENTS OR OTHER BASIC

A final amendment of the charter, approved in 1950 by the
Board ofRegents of the University of the State of New York,
authorized the University to construct and maintain a hospital

OBLIGATIONS?

The founders of The University of Buffalo in 1846 discerned
the need for a medical school in the City of Buffalo and proceeded to establish such a school and to provide for the future
establishment of a whole university. Though its charter did not
by any means so restrict it, nevertheless the University then
and long thereafter consisted solely of a medical school. Moreover, the second school to be fostered under its auspices, the
Schoolof Pharmacy, founded in 1886, was obviously connected
with the interests of the first. Professionally related to both
these divisions, the School of Dentistry was established in 1892.
The more recent establishment in 1930 of instruction in nursing
and in 1940 of the School of Nursing reflected the same concern
that prompted the founding of the older divisions, namely, the
preparation of those who aspire to a recognized profession connected with the healing arts.

Historical Development: The original charter incorporating
The University of Buffalo, granted May 11, 1846, by the
Legislature of the State of New York, constituted the University as "a body corporate ... for the purpose of promoting
literature and science by establishing and maintaining a University to be located in the City of Buffalo." It further provided that the University '■may confer such literary honors,
degrees and diplomas as are usually granted by any university,
college or seminary of learning in the United States; and it may
also, on the nomination of the medical faculty
grant
diplomas conferring the Degree of Doctor of Medicine ."

..

In 1859, the charter was amended by the Legislature to
authorize the University "to found, establish, maintain and
regulate, in the City of Buffalo, a school for the academical instruction of young men, preparatory to a collegiate education,
and to provide therein, or in its academical department, when
founded, or both, for instructionin practical mechanical science,
mining, engineering, and in the science of teaching." A further
amendment in 1909 provided for the cancellation of the capital
stock in the University, which had been authorized in 1846,
and provided further that, upon the cancellation, the institution would become an "incorporated University having the
powers to acquire real estate, to establish colleges, to impart
instruction, to grant degrees, and to do all other things heretofore authorized to be done by it, by or through its Council,
instructors, teachers, professors, curators, officers, vice-chancellors, and chancellors, duly selected for such purposes."

to offer the

services usually connected therewith.

�Taking advantage of the broad powers granted by the charter
of offering instruction and conferring degrees in any branch of
academic or professional training, the University continued its
policy of expansion with the addition of the School of Law in
1891 and the School of Pedagogy in 1895- The latter School was
discontinued in 1898 after only three years of existence.
A College of Arts and Sciences, which traditionally has been
the nucleus of most universities, was founded relatively late in
the history of The University of Buffalo. The immediate and
urgent cause of its beginning in 1913 was a ruling by the American Medical Association that schools of medicine must require
at least one year of college training in order to be listed as approved. This ruling prompted the Council of the University, in
the interests of its own medical school, to authorize a number
of pre-professional but liberal courses and to hope that they
might in time become, as in fact they became, the core of a
genuinecollege. This authorization, prompted as it was, is important in the University not only in the historical sense but
also in the sense that it sheds light upon the close relationship
between liberal learning and the profession of medicine; and
hence reflects the premise that a liberal education undergirds
the professional curriculum.
Such disciplines are exemplified by the School of Law, established in 1891, the School of Business Administration, 1927, the
Schoolof Education, 1931, the School of Social Work, 1936, and
the School of Engineering, 1946. Although founded much later
than the School of Medicine, the other professional schools
were likewise established in response to a demand from the
community as well as from the professions themselves that the
means be afforded in the Buffalo area for the transmission and
advancement of professional learning. In 1939 the Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences was established.
Auxiliary to the professional schools as well as to the College
of Arts and Sciences arc the Summer Session, founded in 1915*
the Evening Session, Millard Fillmore College, founded in 1923,
and most recently the Division of General and Technical
Studies which was inaugurated in 1950. The establishment of
this division brought the University's total number of divisions to its present fourteen.
In 1909, the University was fortunate to secure the 106 acre
site of the county almshouse and hospital (now Hayes Hall)
for its campus. In later years, 72 acres were added. The endowment campaigns of 1920, 1929,1946 and the Development Campaign of 1951, as well as various individual gifts, have made
possible the erection of campus buildings on the present 178
acres which form one of the most spacious campuses of urban
universities. In addition to the University's physical plant,
which is valued at almost eighteen millions of dollars, the
University, which was unendowed until 1915, now has an endowment of over nine millions of dollars (book value).
Geographical Area of Service: Although the University welcomes the opportunity to serve without geographical limitations, it primarily serves Western New York, defined as the
Eighth Judicial District, and to a lesser extent serves the bordering areas of the Niagara Peninsula, Northwestern Pennsylvania and Northeastern Ohio. The Schools of Medicine,
Pharmacy, Dentistry, Law, Social Work, and Engineering afford
the only full collegiate preparation in their respective fields in
this area. The University itself is the largest independent and
non-sectarian institution of higher learning in this region.
Few universities in this country are more closely identified
with and interwoven into the cultural and professional life of
their environs. Metropolitan Buffalo, consisting of approxi-

mately one million inhabitants, is one of the most significant
industrial and commercial districts of the continent. It is pre-

First home of the Medical College.

eminent as a transportation center, as a center of the chemical
industry, of electric power production and of milling enterprise.
It is also of great importance in iron and steel production, the
aircraft industry, and in automotive assembly. The growth of
the departments of chemistry and physics, as well as the inception of the School of Engineering, reflects this diversified economic activity. The University supplies the community with
educated manpower which this economic life requires. While
more specific demands are placed upon the School of Business
Administration, the effects extend even to the development of
the fields of industrial law and industrial medicine.

Despite the position of the Buffalo area in industry and commerce, the counties of the region are of such agricultural importance as to classify them among the richest in the country
in the value of their crops. While the University has not developed an agricultural school to meet the vocational needs of
farming communities, it has nevertheless produced most of the
professional personnel upon which those communities rely for
their medical, dental, legal and pharmaceutical services as well
as much of the educational,social, technical, nursing, engineering, business and civic services. In addition these rural communities continue to develop a certain amount of industrial life
distinct from, yet connected with, the metropolitan area. Such
communities create a steadily mounting demandfor Universityprepared leadership.
The University of Buffalo supplies the region with educated
manpower in the arts, sciences, and professions which is needed
for its welfare and progress. Typically, in 1954, all the judges
of the City Court of Buffalo and the County Court of Erie
County, the majority of the judges of the Supreme Court of the
Eighth Judicial District as well as most of the members of the
bar were alumni of the Law School of the University. An overwhelming proportion of the physicians and dentists of the area
are graduates of the medical and dental schools. An everincreasing proportion of the members of the other professions
are products of the more recent professional schools.

�WHAT ARE THE INSTITUTION'S

SPECIFIC

OBJECTIVES?

A regional university must be concerned with providing the
opportunity of learning to all qualified members of the community including those to whom it might otherwise be denied.
This was recognized by the Council of the University some
forty years ago when it took occasion to state:
"Our only desire has been to place this city where it belongs
in matters of education; to give to every youngman and woman,
Catholic or Protestant, Jew or Gentile, an opportunity to obtain in Buffalo an education that willfit them for life as well as
any which may today be obtained elsewhere by those who have

to procure it. .."
This need, so long ago apprehended, has recently been dramatized, but for different reasons, by the influx of veterans following the last war, which continues to some extent to this day.
Many of these veterans, like so many of the University's earlier
constituency, were primarily interested in preparation for professions. However, the University's emphasis, in spite of its
historic origins, has not been exclusively professional. Rather
it has been recognized, both during the long term of Dr.
Capen's chancellorship, and during the recent periods of Dr.
McConnell's and Dr. Furnas' that professional training as such
is not the sole end of a University, and that that end becomes
most intelligible in the light of what a College of Arts and
Sciences is intended to promote. Dr. Capen has stated:

the wealth

"... the primary concerns of the college of arts and sciences
are the interpretation of the problems of society, the pursuit of
learning for the sake of learning, the search for truth. It may
thus become at once the instrument whereby the community
gets specific tasks performed and the symbol ofthe community's
most generous aspirations." Dr. McConnell has added, "In
American universities, education for most of the professions is
based on courses in the liberal arts. But it is unfortunate if the
liberal arts are conceived of only as preparatory to specialized
training. Their true function is to prepare men and women for
life in the broadest and highest sense ... we may say that the
function of the College is not primarily to teach science for
physicians, economics for business men, constitutional history
for lawyers, or psychology for teachers ... its true purpose is
to give reason, meaning, freedom and direction to life. This
does not mean that liberal education should be sharply separate
from professional education. Rather the liberal spirit should
infuse all learning in the University, giving to the whole educational enterprise a unified spirit."
This philosophy is manifest in the application of the principles offreedom of inquiry which is as germane to sound professional training as it is to liberal training itself. It is hoped
that this concept so essential to a university and basically so a
part of American political philosophy will permeate the community to the mutual strengthening of both academic and civic
life.
Hence the purposes of the University reflect all these factors
and may be said to include at least the following:

1. Deliberately and officially to foster the advancement of
knowledge by: (a) offering instruction in the various liberal
disciplines and areas of professional study which are represented in the constituent schools of the University, and (b)
sponsoring, providing resources for, and conducting research,
both as an institutional affair and as a responsibility of individual members of the University staff.
2. To be an integral part of the community and region in

Dr. Clifford C. Furnas, Chancellorof the University since 1954,
stands between the late Dr. Samuel P. Capen, who was Chancellor from 1922 to 1951 and Dr. T. Raymond McConnell,
Chancellor of The University of Buffalo from 1951 to 1954;

which it is situated, not only by providing a local opportunity
for study and learning to students, and for teaching and research to its professors; but also by: (a) working with industry,
commerce, government and the institutions for educational,
cultural and social welfare in finding answers to current problems; (b)furnishing special services which are appropriate to a
university but which other agencies might not be ready to
establish or able to afford; (c) keeping the professions informed
of new scientific discoveries and interpretations which bear on
the daily work of practitioners; (d) offering an opportunity for
an understanding of the cultures of the world; and more especially (c) informing citizens of all ages and occupations ofthe
great moral, political, and aesthetic values which have been
distilled out of the recorded history of civilization.
3- To provide an opportunity for further education, beyond
the secondary level, for all young people and adults who are
qualified and who can benefit from such training, and to encourageand assist each of its students to go as far in the pursuit of his own education as all therelevant circumstances will
permit. As an integral phase of this opportunity, provision is
made for the development of moral and spiritual values, of
physical skills and of the attributes of more effective citizen-

ship.
4. In order that these purposes can be accomplished the University is committed to provide a setting in which intellectual
freedom may be exercised and the search for truth may be
prosecuted unhampered from without, from above, or from
within.
Although, as has been said above, the University's distinctive
area of service has been Western New York, it already has a
number of students from many other parts of the country as
well as from foreign countries. In the future the University
would hope that the proportion which such students bear to the

student body as a wholewould increase.
In the line of service on a national and internationalscale the
University has been called upon repeatedly to provide special
educational, scientific, and cultural programs. The expectation
is that as the University's resources expand there will be additional opportunities for greater service of this kind.

HOW RECENTLY, AND BY WHOM, WAS THIS DEFINITION OF OBJECTIVES DEVELOPED AND ADOPTED
OR REVIEWED?

The foregoing statement of educational philosophy and objectives was prepared during the period 1954 through 1955The Faculty Advisory Committee of the University was requested to prepare a preliminary statement of objectives. The

preliminary statement was then reviewed and revised by a special review committee composed of members of the executive

committees of the faculties of the several divisions, and was
submitted by this group to the Senate of the University which
was convened for the specific purpose of reviewing and acting
upon the statement prepared by the special review committee.
The statement was adoptedby the Senate in the spring of 1955The statement was then submitted to the Council of the University which accepted and endorsed it in the fall of 1955It is essential to note that this statement of objectives represents basically a codification of the purposes which traditionally
have been observed throughout the development and expansion
of the University, and hence represents no break with the past.
It is, in essence, a drawing together for the institution as a
whole of the individually expressed (and sometimes unexpressed) philosophy and purposes for the several divisions whicli
comprise the University.

IN WHAT RESPECTS HAVE THE OBJECTIVES BEEN INFLUENCED BY EXTERNAL AGENCIES?

As a privately endowed, privately controlled and nonsectarian institution, which conceives its role primarily as a regionaluniversity, and which is committed to a setting in w^hich
intellectual freedom may be exercised and the search for truth

may be prosecuted unhampered from without, from above, or
from within, it must be said at the outset that The University
of Buffalo accepts no control or domination from any external
agency, except, of course, from duly constituted legal authorities including the Board of Regents of the State of New York.
This is not to say, however, that the University has been unresponsive to the needs of the society in which it makes its
place or of the more specific needs of specific groups of that
society. As was indicated in the preceding answers, the very
beginnings of the institution were rooted in the discerned need
in the community of Buffalo for a school of medicine. The subsequent expansion of the University has also been in response
to the needs for instruction, research, service and leadership
within the geographical area which it serves.
It is fair to say, therefore, that the University has consistently
endeavored to ascertain the needs of its society, both regional
as well as supra-regional, and to respond to those needs to the
fullest extent of its resources and abilities. To these extents its
purposes and objectives have been influenced by external
agencies.
Yet, at the same time, the University has also endeavored to
exercise a good measure of leadership. One or two current examples of this combination of responsiveness and leadership
will illustrate the nature of the University's role.
One of the critical needs of society in general as well as of the
Western New York region is for greatly expanded research and
instructional activity in the area of peaceful use of nuclear
energy: In medicine, in the physical sciences, in technology and
in the social sciences. The University has been working for
something more than a year to establish a Nuclear Reactor and
research facility on its campus and to initiate a comprehensive
research and instructional program in several of the facets of
inquiry which are integral phases of peaceful applications of

atomic energy.
For a number of years, there has been developing in the
Buffalo area a growing awareness of the need for increased attention to the fine arts: Music, visual arts and theater. The
University has cultivated and encouraged this development as
a significant contribution to cultural stature of the community
and has responded specifically by providing some increased
attention in the area of drama and speech, by organizing a Department of Musicand by acquiring and expanding the formerly
independent Albright Art School—all in the College of Arts

the construction of a Fine Arts Center, the first unit of which,

fall of 1957In both these instances, the University demonstrates the continuation of its long established policy of responding to the
needs of its society while at the same time exercising a substantial measure of leadership within its society.

It is in these terms that the University is planning to impleits objectives in the years ahead.

IN WHAT RESPECTS DO ITS

IS THE INSTITUTION CONSIDERING CHANGES IN
ITS OBJECTIVES?

No changes in the basic purposes and objectives outlined
above are contemplated.
Like all other institutions of higher learning in the United
States, the University is, of course, engaged in careful study of
the most effective ways of implementing its objectives in the
light of the tremendous expansion of student enrollments which
are anticipated over the next decade and a half. The officers of
the University, the Council of the University and in particular
the University Senate have for some time been giving careful
attention to this vitally important matter.
In November, 1955, Chancellor Furnas submitted the following brief statement on development policy to the University
Senate, "In view of the increasing population and the expanding demand for higher education for all American youth who
are qualified, The University of Buffalo, as a private urban
university, faces the urgent and practical problem of how best
to prepare for and serve the educational needs of the Niagara
Frontier area. In reaching our decision, it is essential that we
give full weight to rhe implications of the tradition in our
American democracy for providing the broadest educational
opportunities for the youth of our country

'

...

'The University of Buffalorecognizes that its stewardship in
the Niagara Frontier requires that we shall do our best for the
foreseeable future to meet the educationalneeds of all those who
come to us and who arc adequately qualified. To fulfill this responsibility for increased quantity, and at the same time not to
dilute quality, we must plan for substantial increases in faculty
and physical facilities for the next two decades. Because of the

OBJECTIVES GIVE THE
INSTITUTION INDIVIDUALITY, DIFFERENTIATING IT
FROM OTHERS OF ITS TYPE?
In a general sense, it may be said that the objectives of The
University of Buffalo are the objectives of most universities:
Excellence in instruction and opportunities provided to young
people to learn and to grow in intelligence, physical skills and
moral and spiritual values, and significant contributions to
human knowledge. There are, however, two respects in which
the objectives of this University do distinguish it from universities generally in the United States, although neither one may
differentiate it from certain other independently supported,
urban universities.
The first of these is the extent to which the University endeavors to provide the broadest possible educational opportunity to the youngpeople and adults of its area. The University offers this opportunity in the first instance to the citizens
of its geographical area but clearly does not limit it only to
such persons. As was indicated in the answer to question two,
the University strives to provide an opportunity for further
education, beyond the secondary level, for all youngpeople and
adults who are qualified and who can benefit from such training, and to encourage and assist each of its students to go as
far in the pursuit of his own education as all the relevant circumstances will permit. In its interest in offering and willingness to provide such broad opportunity, the University is differentiated from other institutions of its type.
The second aspect is the extent to which the University endeavors to be an integral part of the community and region in
which it is situated. While the University is not a narrow institution, it has conceived its principal area of service to be
Western New York —or the Niagara Frontier, as it is often

Bulletin

�called. This geographical aspect

must not

be overstated, how-

University draws its students and faculty from
all parts of the United States and from several foreign countries.
Nevertheless, the University has endeavored throughout its life
to become an integral and respected part of the community in
which it is situated. It has done this through rendering the
wide variety of services to the community, which have been
outlined above through responding to community needs, and
through the trainingof leaders in community life and activities.
This effort to identify, and to be identified, with the community,
typified by the frequently used slogan "The University of Buffalo Serves the Community," does differentiate this institution
ever, since the

from others of its type.
There is a final point which needs mention since it is of major
consequence: the University's traditional maintenance and defense of academic freedom. The University is committed to the
principle of freedom of inquiry and its officers and members
have been leaders in the struggle to maintain intellectual freedom and the search for truth.

IN WHAT CHARACTERISTICS OR AREAS OF ITS WORK.
IF ANY, DOES THE INSTITUTION PARTICULARLY
SEEK DISTINCTION?

There are several characteristics of the University which have
given it a considerable measure of distinction. Perhaps the most
significant of these is the basic fact that it is a private institution which is dedicated to providing an essential public service.
This is demonstrated by the ways in which the institution has
responded to public needs and to the requirements of public
welfare. For example, the University provides the only training
in pharmacy, dentistry and social work in upstate New York,
and the only training in medicine and law in Western New
York. It enjoys, as a consequence, the distinction of providing
its community with leaders, not only in the several professional
areas but in general affairs as well. In addition, the University
has provided innumerable services to the community, many of
which have been mentioned above.
Largely as a result of its efforts in the area of public service,
the University has received strong recognition and support from
the community. Press, church, industrial and civic organizations, and other groups have responded, particularly in the past
forty years, with many tangible evidences of moral and financial
support.

A further characteristic is the extent to which the faculty
participates in discussions and decisions in the area of educational policies. Examples of this broad participation are presented elsewhere in this report as well as in the several divisional reports. The high degree offaculty loyalty to the institution is an additional point. It is quite probable that this has
been gained as a result of the policies of academic freedom and
of broad faculty participation in the decision-making process.
Whatever the explanation, it is true that the University does
enjoy the loyalty of the faculty, many of whom have spent
entire careers in its service.
Anotherrather significant distinguishing characteristic is the
interest taken in the University by the alumni. Alumni leadership has been strong and active, and alumni support has been
quite substantial. Theseveral divisionalparticipating funds are
indicative of this interest and activity.
The University is also noted for its contributions to science

and higher education. For example, its faculty early inaugu-

rated a tradition of distinction and experimentation by its
revolutionary achievements in the field of medicine. Dr. James
P. White introduced clinical obstetrics into the college curriculum as early as 1850. Experimentation on living animals was
first practiced in America by Dr. John C. Dalton, and Dr. Julius
Miner became noted for his advocacy of the enucleation of
ovarian tumors. In 1898, the New York State Legislature

granted to the Medical School the first appropriation ever made
from public funds for the purpose of combating the ravages of
cancer. Cortin, a hormone which proved to be a remedy for
Addison's disease, was discovered at the University in 1930.
During World War 11, a new development in transfusions,
utilizing the A and B blood factor, was devised.

An unprecedented plan was adopted in 192.3 by the School of
Dentistry when it stipulated the same entrance requirements as
prevailed in the School of Medicine and provided that the first
half of the dental course should be identical with the first half
of the medical course, that is, courses conducted by the basic
science departments in the Medical School.
Among other contributions are the tutorial plan and the program of anticipatory examinations. In 1931, the College of Arts
and Sciences departed from a prescribed liberal arts curriculum
and established a tutorial programunder which upperclassmen
engage in cooperative, creative study rather than being restricted to the taking of required courses. The tutorialplan has
continually attracted the attention of colleges throughout the
country. The University was likewise a pioneer in the use of
anticipatory or college credit examinations which enable gifted
students to earn college credit prior to college entrance and
thereby avoid duplication of courses already taken or knowledge
already acquired. The original plan was supported by a grant
from the Carnegie Foundation.
This tradition of experimentation and contribution has continued and is continuing to be pressed. The development of a
Nuclear Reactor Centerfor research, experimentation and study
has already been mentioned. When it becomes operational, it
will represent a significant step in advancing frontiers of

�knowledge as well as in contributing further to the service
which the University is rendering. Many other significant areas
of experimentation are also developing: The Chronic Disease
Research Institute, founded in 1950; the development of a graduate program with the Roswell Park Memorial Institute; the
establishment of the Western New York School of Study Coun-

cil; the initiation of new programs in the fine arts, linguistics,
reading, executive development and management training. In
addition there are under way experimental programs in the development of techniques looking toward more effective utilization of teaching and physical resources in order better to meet
the demandswhich are anticipated over the next two decades.
Another distinguishing characteristic of the University is the
conservative and stable financial management which has been
practiced over the years. In spite of very limited resources, the
Council and administrative officers have given primary attention and emphasis to educational affairs, plans and policies.
They have endeavored to obtain maximum educational advantage from every appropriation and at the same time have provided for continuous and sound growth.
It is almost unnecessary to repeat that underlying all these
characteristics and developments is the fundamental characteristic of intellectual freedom.

COULD ANY OF YOUR INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS
OR NONINSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES JUSTIFIABLY BE
QUESTIONED AS UNRELATED TO YOUR OBJECTIVES?

The University of Buffalo is, as has been indicated, a privately

endowed institution. Its endowment has been relatively modest
and it has, over the years, been dependent upon revenues from

tuition for the major portion of its income. This has necessitated careful and continuing scrutiny of all existing programs
and activities, and of all proposals for additions thereto, to
insure consistency with the basic objectives of the institution.
Consequently, it is not only possible but also necessary to
affirm that the instructional programs and noninstructional
activities are all related to the objectives of the institution.

WHAT, BRIEFLY, IS THE INSTITUTION'S PHILOSOPHY

OF EDUCATION?

The University firmly believes: (a) that it should provide an
opportunity for further education, beyond the secondary level,
for all youngpeople and adults who are qualified and who can
benefit from such training, and that it should encourage and
assist each of its students to go as far in the pursuit of his own
education as all the relevant circumstances will permit; (b)
that such opportunity should be afforded in the first instance to
the citizens of its geographical region, but that it should by no
means be limited only to them; (c) that its curriculums should
be sound in all respects, and that its course offerings, its instruction, its research and its services should be of the highest
possible caliber; (d) that its educational programs should stress
breadth of preparation and freedom of choice of programs and
of electives wherever possible; (c) that its programs should
place proper emphasis upon both the liberal arts and sciences as
preparation for life and upon professional education for careers,

and in addition should emphasize growth in moraland spiritual
values, physical skills and good citizenship; (f) that its noninstructional activities should be directed toward the development of social skills, leadership and awarenessof broader social
responsibilities both of its students and of the larger community
which it serves; (g) that it should strive constantly to provide
leadership in its community in both cultural and professional
matters; (h) finally, that all its educational ventures should be
conducted in a fundamental context offreedom of inquiry.

WHAT PLANS AND CHANGES IN PROGRAMS HAVE
BEEN MADE OR ARE BEING CONSIDERED FOR THE
NEXT DECADE? WHAT IS THEIR STATUS? WHO HAVE
PARTICIPATED IN THE DECISION?

Throughout its history, The University of Buffalo has been
constantly concerned with growth, development and improvement of its programs and activities. Some sense of its progress
has been provided in the previous answers: It has moved from
one division to fourteen and from a handful of students to
something over eleven thousand students in its one hundred
ten years of existence; much of this development has come within the past generation. Ithas never permitted itself to become a
static institution.

Like all other institutions of higher education today, it is
confronted with the major task and responsibility of providing
sound educational opportunities for a rapidly increasing number of prospective students who are qualified. This task is of
major consequence at the present time; it is being approached
from two directions, organization and policy.
During the past year, the administrative organization of the
University was revised by the Council of the University to provide for four top-level administrative officers subordinate to the
Chancellor: Vice-Chancellorfor Business Affairs and Treasurer,
Vice-Chancellor for Educational Affairs, Vice-Chancellor for
Planning and Development, and Vice-Chancellorfor Research.*
This new structure will provide the flexibility and division of
labor necessary to meet and resolve administratively the many
problems involved in the future progress of the University. At
the policy level, the University Senate was reorganized in
1953-1954, and several committees of this body, Executive,
Educational Policy and Planning, Student Affairs, and Professional and Community Service, are currently studying, along
with the Faculty Advisory Committee, the various facets of the
educational problems which will be faced in the next decade.
The matter of expansion of physical facilities, which is of
considerable significance for this institution, has been given full
consideration by the Council, administrative officers, divisional
and departmental faculties. Plans are moving forward rapidly
in this area: A new Physics building, Hochstetter Hall, was
completed in the fall of 1956; one section of the Fine Arts
Center and an eleven-story residence hall are scheduledfor completion in the fall of 1957; the completion ofthe medical school
building by construction of Sherman Hall is planned; a health
science center (for nursing, pharmacy and biology), and a
chemistry and chemical engineering building are in the preliminary planning stages; and a new classroom building, an
ROTC building and a newstudent union, among others, are in
*The first three of these positions have been filled. It is anticipated that the fourth (Research) will be filled shortly.

�the discussion stage. As soon as funds are in hand, the construction of these latter units will proceed. It is anticipated
that most of them will be constructed within the next five years.
The second phase of planning is concerned with the improvement and expansion of existing programs of study and of research programs. As is indicated in the separate reports of the
several divisions of the University, the divisional faculties are
engaged in continuing study of, and improvement in, the existing instructional programs of their respective divisions. In
addition to this self-study and improvement, there are in a development or operational phase several additional programs:
(a) Nuclear Reactor Project. As mentioned previously, work is
under way leading to the construction of a Nuclear reactor on
the University campus and to the development of a correlative
nuclear research and instructional program. The former aspect
is under the direction of a special assistant to the Chancellor
and is pointed in the direction of obtaining substantial subscriptions from industrial firms for the formation of a separate
research corporation. The latter aspect is being guided by a
faculty committee representative of all the divisions of the
University concerned with peaceful application of nuclear
energy; (b) Rosuell Park Memorial Institute. The Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences is engaged in developing a graduate
and research program in the medical and biological sciences with
the staff of this State institute for the study of malignant diseases; (c) Fine Arts Center. Under the direction of the departmental faculties of the College of Arts and Sciences, programs
in music, drama and theater, and the visual arts are being expanded and enlarged. A Fine Arts Center, the first unit of
which is to be completed in 1957, will house these activities,
and will provide for the developing Bachelor of Arts and
Bachelor of Fine Arts programs in these areas; (d) Chemical
Engineering and CivilEngineering. Discussions are under way look-

ing toward preliminary proposals for a new baccalaureate and
masters degree program in chemical engineering and in civil
engineering; (c) ContractResearch. A faculty committee has been
studying policies for improving and increasing the amount of
research activities at the University, particularly in the area of
contract research. This committee submitted a preliminary report to the Chancellor in 1955-1956. It is anticipated that the
question ofresearch policies will be discussed in detail by the
University Senate and its committees during the present year;
(0 Graduate Studies. A gradual expansion of graduate work,
including further strengthening of laboratory and library facilities, is in process and (g) School of General and Technical Studies.
Discussion is under way of a proposal to combine into one academic division a number of vocationally oriented programs
including the curriculums of the Division of General and Technical Studies, medical technology, museum administration,
occupational and physical therapy, x-ray technology, the fouryearretailing program, physical educationfor men and women,
and air science. This division would be administered by a dean
and an assistant, would have an appropriate faculty and would
recommend candidates for degrees in both the four- and twoyear programs and the fifth-year certificates.
A third phase of planning relates to the improvement of student activities and services. During the year 1955-1956, a committee composed of student representatives from the student
Board of Managers and of representatives of the Dean of Students Office has been developing a new structure for student
government at the University. In addition, with provision for
the position of Coordinator of Student Activities in the Dean of
Students Office, increased attention is being given to the improvement of the already numerous student activities on the

This is the architect's model of the Music and Fine Arts Cen
ter. The music building is now under construction.

The University residence halls, which were first opened in
1953, now house approximately 650 students. The new residence
hall mentioned above will house another 440 students. Within
the next decade, it is contemplated that additional residence
hall and dining facilities will be constructed to accommodate
between 500 and 1,500 additional students from outside the
immediate commuting area. This will contribute to a more
cosmopolitan composition of the student body with all of its
attendant advantages both to the local students and to the

In 1954, the Council of the University approved the Chancellor's proposal for a modest increase in attention to intramural and intercollegiate athletics, designed to bring the institution's program to a level more nearly commensurate with
that which is normally associated with an urban institution of
the size of the University. It is believed that there are wholesome advantages for students in an athletic program which
provides opportunities for increased participation, for team
work and for leadership training, as well as opportunities for
increased esprit dc corps for the student body as a whole. The
program is completely in keeping with the letter and spirit of
the regulations of the National Collegiate Athletic Association
and of the Eastern College Athletic Conference. There is clearly
no attempt to overemphasize athletics. These represent some of
the major plans and changes in program which have recently
been evolved or are being consideredfor the next decade. They
are indicative of the continuation of the policies of growth,
expansion and improvement in programs, research, and activities which have been characteristic of this institution.

'The University serves the Niagara
frontier region principally. Ifit is to continue to welcome to its campus the rapidly
increasing number of applicants, it must
have the physical facilities and the additional faculty to continue the effective
and distinguished training which has
played such a significant role in the tradition and history of its educational stewardship to the area."
Dr. Clifford C. Furnas, chancellor of
the University commented:
"Certainly the University of Buffalo is
one of the most important institutions in
the Niagara Frontier. Its continued and
growing effectiveness will, first of all, depend upon the support it receives. Necessarily, primary reliance will have to be
placed on the friends of the University in
the Niagara Frontier and upon the Alumni. As we move on to ever-greater stature,
every participant can feel a sense of pride
in the aid that he has given to the cause
of higher education, which is the backbone of the preservation of the American
way of life."
Seymour H. Knox, chairman of the
University of Buffalo Council, stated that

the Council has given its formal authorization for the general development cam-

paign.
"It is vitally important that the goal
be reached, and the support of the University increased," he said. "The cooperation and active campaigning of the
entire University family will be indis-

pensable."

Trust Company and chairman of the campaign commented: "It is of utmost importance that the people of this area, in
the Niagara Frontier specifically, and of
the many counties of Western New York,
offer their support to this campaign so
that the University can continue to provide unqualified opportunities for the
best in higher education. We are hopeful
that all of those who received their training and experience at the University, will
respond to this need of their alma mater,
and through generous giving will assist
in its desire to progress even further."
Although plans for the fund-raising
effort are not completed yet, Mr. Diefendorf indicated that if any one contribution substantially covers the cost of any
of the proposed buildings, it will be entirely appropriate for the University to
consider naming the building in honor of
its donor.
Lewis G. Harriman, chairman of the
board, Manufacturers and Traders Trust
Co., and R. Lindley Murray, chairman of
the board, Hooker Electrochemical Co.,
will serve as associate chairmen of the
campaign. Othercommittee members will

Buffalo has climbed steadily in the last
three decades, and it's going to go a lot
higher in the next ten or fifteen years.
Increased enrollment is just another way
of saying more students and eventually
more alumni.
The University is anxious to serve its
students and alumni as effectively as possible. To do this requires modern methods

University has introduced the 1.8.M. system of record-keeping. We are interested
in doing everything possible to operate
along efficient and economical lines.
The 1.8.M. system was put into operation in time for last February's registraand was used again for that purpose
this fall. Results were most gratifying.
Students no longer had to start the semester with a weary wait in line. Countless
hours were saved, and the whole process
ofregistration was streamlined and simtion,

of great value in helping us keep in touch
with them. The old time-consuming
method of going through our records by
hand, laboriously picking out names according to the various towns in a particular county, will be ended.
Or let's take another example. We may
have a mailing which applies to a particular group of our alumni. Of course,
each of the various divisions of the university has its own alumni group—medicine, law, etc. Again we can depend on
the machine to select the cards for whatever group we need, and the information
can be sent on its way quickly and accurately. The machines will also help us
indirectly toward getting the best possible representation on the General
Alumni Board.
Should any of our alumni wish to entertain new students from their particular
locality, or meet with them for any rea-

ability

This 1.8.M. sorting machine can select alumni alphabetically, geographically or according to classes in a matter of a few minutes.

(Continued from page 10)
To give you an idea of what 1.8.M.
can do, Mr. Kenneth Robinson, who
supervises the new system, reports that
one of the machines, a sorter, can put

cards in any desired sequence at the rate
of 650 per minute. Another machine can
select cards in any particular category at
the rate of 240 per minute. For example,
if you wanted to send our 2600 medical
graduates some particular information,
the machine would pick out their cards
from 22,000 alumni in 40 minutes. We
can also address either labels or No. 10
envelopes at the rate of 1200 per hour.
Soon licking labels will be as passe' as
grandpa's long underwear, because we
expect to install a machine which will
paste on 12,000 labels in an hour.

of the new system. TheAlumni Office intends to make full use of 1.8.M. in carrying out its job of serving you. Master
cards containing vital statistics and pertinent information about each of our

�The University of Buffalo "Bulls"
closed their 1956 football season with an

overall record of 5 wins and 3 losses. They
defeated Cortland State, Carnegie Tech,
Bucknell, St. Lawrence and Ohio Northern while losing to Western Reserve, Alfred and Hobart. The losses to Reserve
and Alfred were by a touchdown apiece
and depending upon which way the ball
bounced, could have spelled victory
rather than defeat.
The 1956football season can be classed
as a successful one from both the athletic
aspect and from the attendance standpoint. TheBulls averaged 6500 spectators
at their four home games, climaxed by a
record turnout of over 9,000 for the Alfred game.

made by Chuck Krawczyk on a 32 yard

�Cross Country Team
"Best in Buffalo's

History"—Fisher
Cross-Country Coach Emery Fisher re-

ported that the 1956 season was the first
since 1947, when the University started

competition in cross-country, that we
have had a winning team. Coach Fisher
claims that this year's team is the "best
in The University of Buffalo's history."
Paced by his 1-2 punch, Robert Grud-

JIM PEELLE

a 72-0 victory over Ohio Northern University Polar Bears at Rotary Field. Over
4500 chilled spectators watched UB score
seven of the first eight times they had
possession of the ball. The home finale
proved little more than a light workout
for Coach Dick Offenhamerand his crew.
Offenhamer used his first stringers for
only a total of 16 minutes of the entire
ball game. Even big tackle Fran Woidzik
made thescoring column, taking a lateral
from Dick Doll and stepping into the end
zonefor the tally.
The Ohio Northern gamewas the last
home game for eight of the Bulls, who
will be graduated in June. The eight
seniors are: Chuck Daniels, Co-captains
Dick Doll and Chuck Krawczyk, Cliff
Miller, Dave Nelson, Norm Pyzikiewicz,
Paul Snyder and Dan Stanley.
The University of Buffalo really took
it on the chin in their final game of the
season at Geneva, N. Y. at the hands of
the Hobart Statesmen. Hobart trounced
the favored Bulls, as Art Lambert, the
Statemen's brilliant quarterback was the
dominating factor in the win. The Bulls
never really got started and except for
early in the first quarter, the Statesmen
dominated the play. The Bulls scored on
a beautiful 68 yard pass play, McGarva to
Doll, and on a one yard buck by Fullback
Lou Reale. The loss left the Bulls with a
5-3 season record.
Our hats are off to the fine team that
represented The University of Buffalo on
the football field this fall. Head Coach

Dick Offenhamer and his fine, young
assistants Karl Kluckhohn and Fred Dunlop; freshman coaches Rom Laßocque,
"Buzz" Buzzelli and Pete Rao did an outstanding job with their boys, many of
whom are sophomores and juniors and
will be heard from again next year.
The spirit of the team and the coaching
staff was equalled by the spirit of the
students, alumni and friends of the University. They are all enthusiastically
looking forward to another successful
season in 1957.

Parisi who averaged 2% points per meet.
The University of Buffalo cross-country
Bulls ran to a won 7, lost 3 record in individual meets and finished third in the
Canisius College Invitational Meet and
fifth in the New York State Invitational
Meet.
Coach Fisher's outlook for another
winning season in 1957seems very bright.
Sal Corallo and Ron Wrona are the only
two members of the 1956 squad who will
not return in '57. Grudzien and Parisi
still have another year of competition.
The freshman squad looked especially
good this year against tough competition,
compiling a won 4, lost 2record, climaxing the season with a victory in the
Canisius Invitational Meet. Larry Lauer,
a former St. Joseph's student and Doug
Lang from Bennett High were particularly outstanding and will be heard from

The Bulls success this season could
very well depend on Steve Sklar. The
64", 225 pounder sat out last season and
can really help the team if he regains his
old form. Two yearsago he was the Bulls'
second leading scorer and number onerebounder.
At the time of this writing no starting

Clark Gym against Oswegb State but
Serfustini named veterans Roy Fowler

Friends Indeed
Once upon a time, St. John's Orphan
Home needed the services of a lawyer,
but had very little money to payfor these
services. Mr. Edward D. Strebel came to
the rescue and became so interested in the
Home that he did its legal work for years
without compensation. Then, his son,
Robert Strebel, LLB'2I, became a lawyer
and followed in his father's foot-steps as
far as St. John's was concerned. They
were both members of Holy Trinity
Church.
Fifteen years ago, Milton C. Strebel,
LLB'2I, a cousin of Robert Strebel, was
elected to the Board as a representative of
Atonement Church. He automatically assumed the job whenever the Home needed
a lawyer. He has saved the Home many
thousands of dollars and is still on the
Board and still handling the law work

gratuitously.
And now a new chapter is starting in
the work of this faithful family, Milton
J. Strebel, LLB'SS, the son of Milton C,
was admitted to the bar July 11, 1956,
after graduating from U.B. He is 25 years
old and a member of the U.S. Naval Air
Reserve. Now, he is associated with the
law firm of Strebel and Strebel. And his
first official act as a lawyer was to appear
before the Supreme Court to make application for the sale of some property of St.
John's Orphan Home! Of course, it was
a gratis job! All we can say is "Long Live
the Strebels."

This aerial view of the University Campus was taken in the spring
of 1956 and is the most recent photograph of this type. A huge
photo mural of the view can be seen at the University Plaza Branch
of the Marine Trust Company.
Since this picture was taken the campus has changed considerably.
Three new building developments are now taking place; the construction of an eleven story dormitory bisecting the four dormitories
on the extreme left, the beginning of the music building directly
below the dormitories in the wooded area and a carbon research
building adjacent to the service building in the upper right corner.

�A Message to Alumni:
"The vision—the Program for Progress— in the excerpts below comes from
a statement which reflects two years of University self-survey, the thoughtful
consideration of various bodies of the University family, the Council and the newly created Development Board. There is no doubt that the messageis important
—for you and your children, for the University, and for our country and a better
world. Your vigorous and sympathetic cooperation will prove to be an essential
factor of success."
CHANCELLOR CLIFFORD C. FURNAS

The Greater University of Buffalo

A Program for Progress
THE PROBLEMS AS OPPORTUNITY

Larger proportions of much larger numbers of our young
people are seeking university education.
Further, it is now generally recognized that our universities
are the essential source for providing the knowledge and
manpower educated at the highest level of competence essential
for maintaining and accelerating America's social, cultural and
economic advances and for fulfilling our political principles.
However, the demands of our free, dynamic society correspondingly increase the needs of universities which at best have
sought to make the most of their educationaldollar in a period
of inflation and increasing costs.
Your independent, privately-supported, non-denominational,

co-educational University of Buffalo, after
self-survey and careful planning, proposes

two years of critical
to accept these chalfor tomorrow.

lenges of today as opportunities
We believe we know where we are and what we have done,
what we can do best, and what is needed to make the University
in the decades ahead
of Buffalo the foremost urban university
when our kind of institution, by the very nature of American
development, is destined to play a larger quantity-quality role
in American higher education.
A GREAT FACULTY'S PLEDGE TO YOU
The heart of a university is its faculty.
Our determination to serve the Niagara Frontier, poised for
decades of tremendous growth and achievement, is best expressed in a resolution adopted unanimously by the Senate of
the University, January 11, 1957:
WHEREAS The University of Buffalo traditionally has admitted all qualified students —to the limits of its capacity
who apply to it, and

—

WHEREAS The University has endeavored to provide educational opportunities which will serve the needs of Western New
York and our country and the world of scholarship, and
WHEREAS The University has always received from its community the resources needed to maintain its standard and to
continue its development, therefore

BE IT RESOLVED THAT The Senate of the University,
consisting of members of the various Faculties, records its
approval and pledges its support to the following policies and

plans:

1. The University of Buffalo will continue to meet its responsibility for the education of the increasing numbers of
young people of Western New York who are qualified by University standards and who desire higher education.
2. The University of Buffalo will, at the same time, continue
to meet its responsibilities to the causes of higher education by
maintaining the quality of education which has characterized
it; and to improve, in whatever areas possible, the quality of its

education.
3. The University of Buffalo will continue

.

to carry out its responsibilities to community and country by developing and
adding to its educational offerings in response tothe humanistic,
social and scientific needs which characterize a rapidly changing
world; thus assuming its share of the task of meeting the requirements for trained persons in such a world ."
Ifthe necessary resources become available! The Council and
the Development Board also endorse this commitment.
In view of the University's well-known traditions of freedom,
good teaching, energetic and imaginative leadership, community service, of concern for the individual, and the cultivation
of mind, heart and initiative, the University has the oppor-

�tunity to be a Greater University by providing educational quality and equality of opportunity to the maximum number of quali-

fied students.

THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO—A GROWING ASSET
This institution, devoted to teaching, research and public
service, is both young and old. Its oldest unit was established
in 1846, its newest in 1950. Size has not been the objective—the
central design has been: "How can the university serve more
people better?"
Founded by the citizens of Buffalo before the days of taxsupported colleges and universities, the University continues to
serve the general welfare—truly, the public's university for
Western New York.
Few universities in this country are more closely identified
with and interwoven into the cultural and professional life of
their environs.
Tremendous as is U. B.s contribution to this community, it
is not just a local institution. It is easy to foresee that the University—the first of the three American universities to be
headed by a President of the United States —will continue to
grow remarkably in state, national and international prestige

...

and service.
This takes place by the contributions made by its students,
alumni, and faculty, and by the services requested of the University family, in all of its fourteen divisions and seventy-three
departments
Because

believe firmly in the duty and vital capacity of a
university in the service of mankind and knowledge, we can
take justifiable pride in the many signs of national and international recognition and service.
Extended ranges ofrecognition and service arecoming to our
faculty through an increasing number of fellowships for teaching and research throughout the world and through assignments from the Government and various foundations.
In the past year, five of our faculty have received Fulbright
awards for important academic work abroad. Groups offoreign
educators have been sent to our campus for extended periods of
training in several fields. An endowed professorship has for the
past two decades brought each year to Buffalo distinguished
French scholars and statesmen. Paraguay has contracted with
our School of Medicine to help develop medical and nursing
education. One of our deans has been named a consultant to the
we

Ministry of Education of Pakistan and will also make a roundthe-world inquiry on teacher education.
Four of our staff held important positions in both the state
and national places of the recent White House Conference on
Education. The Chairman of the Council is a member of the
President's Committeeon Education Beyond the High School.
The Chancellor has been serving as Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Development. A faculty member serves as
secretary of the large professional association in mathematics,
an example of the important professional offices and consulting positions held by faculty and alumni.
The University is the base of operations for three internationally known scholarly periodicals—in belies lettres,
philosophy, and linguistics. The writings of our faculty are
diffused in magazines and books throughout the world. In the
past year, two national book clubs selected books by our
faculty. Faculty members are appearing on nationwide radio
and television programs, and in important concerts in major

cities.

THE UNIVERSITY BOTH ATTRACTS AND
SUPPLIES TALENTS AND RESOURCES
The University attracts great and varied talents and resources
to this community.
Our faculty holds degrees from 296 different institutions of
higher learning. In a typical year, the student body will have
representatives from as many as 25 states and 10 other nations
of the world. Students with degrees from 162 other colleges and
universities, including 17 foreign universities, are enrolled in
our Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
Those of our graduates who wish to go on for professional
and graduate work in other leading institutions find that they
have been thoroughly prepared and that the University's qualities are respected. The spirit of continuing inquiry and learning
is imparted on our campus. We were pioneers in the tutorial
systems, with its element of independent study, and with the
college credit examination system which offers superior opportunities for gifted students.
Millard Fillmore College, the evening division of the University, plays a vital role in the adult education program of the
community. In the 34 years since its founding, more than 75,000
men and women have attended classes in this division
With the demonstrated backing of this region and local resources, the University should more and more attract talents
and resources from outside our immediate area.

The Health SciencesCenter will be the home of the Schools of Pharmacy and Nursing and the Biology Department.

FORWARD STEPS ON THE CAMPUS
The towering fifth residence hall is under way through a selfliquidating Federal loan. We want to share our opportunities
as well as to complement our campus life with a proportion of

resident students.

The University has plans for an effective, extensive and beautiful Fine Arts Center. The Music Unit is now under construction. Soon to be started will be Sherman Hall, an addition to
the medical research facilities of the University. This is the beginning of a collection of activities which will be the Health
Sciences Center—one of the most comprehensive in the nation.
Plans arc well under way for a Nuclear Research Center which
will be unique in this region and of particular value to the
future of regional industry both through research and through
its teaching activity. Further, this unit will enable our scholars
to add to the fund of human knowledge upon which the
progress of humanity is based.
The property of the Chronic Disease Research Institute was
formally conveyed to the University. The development of a
graduate program with the Roswell Park Memorial Institute is
under way.
New programs have been started recently in fine arts, civil
engineering, music, reading, executive development and management training, anthropology and linguistics, and in carbon
research.
FUTURE EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS
A creative, forward-looking university not only must consolidate and enrich existing programs and divisions—it must
and does seek to develop opportunities, prudently but imaginatively, to keep pace with the demands of modern life.
Itis not possible to predict all of the major steps, nor the resources they will evoke, in the next fifteen years. But it is very
probable that the University of Buffalo faculties will give
serious consideration to new or enriched programs in such fields as:
chemical, civil and nuclear engineering; electronic data processing and analysis; applied mathematics; public administration;
management and laborrelations; interdisciplinary social science
research and service; human communications; Polish studies;
Health sciences; educational administration and growing specialities in education; theatre and dramatic arts; community
relations. Efforts are already under way designed to help meet
the shortage of scientists and teachers and to encourage inde-

pendent study.

A PROGRAM FOR THE PLANNED AND EFFECTIVE
GROWTH OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN WESTERN
NEW YORK
Problem: Resources need to be found to support good instruction
and facilities for 9,000 full-time students by 1960, and for 72,300
full-time students in undergraduate, graduate and professional
work by 1970 (an increase of 140%from today), and a faculty
increase from 732 to about 1800.
In doing this, we can also serve 13,000part-time students by
1970, and consolidate, improve and add educational opportunities and services.
We can expand without having an overwhelming student
body in any one division of the University. Besides, the University has experience in expanding and improving at the same
time—between 1939 and 1955, a comparableperiod of 16 years,
full-time enrollmentincreased 3^ times.
1957-1958 PHASE
OPPORTUNITY—The total cost and 1958 goal for
capital funds, in thefirst step in the Greater University of
Buffalo Development Program is $9,600,000.
This sum will provide for the following critical re-

quirements:
New classroom building and clinic center,
and reconstruction, to accommodate the
College of Arts and Sciences, the School of
Social Work, and the School of Education $1,400,000
Chemistry laboratory, building and facilities

1,850,000

Health Sciences Center, housing the Schools
of Pharmacy and Nursing, and the Biology
1,950,000
Sherman Hall addition to present medical
1,500,000
research facilities
Music and Visual Arts Buildings of The
Fine Arts Center
1,400,000
Funds needed to pay for construction of
500,000
Hochstetter Hall (Physics)
Endowment for the support of Faculty and
Instruction
1,000,000

Dept

This, then, is the immediate, the 1957-58 goal which will
benefit the total University in its expanded role of service.

INTO OUR SECOND CENTURY
But it is prudent and wise for the University to plan further
ahead into its Second Century, at least to 1971, its 125th Anniversary. This proposed program will place us firmly upon a new
high level of educational effectiveness.
OPPORTUNITY—The long-range development of the
University of Buffalo visualizes to 1971 the opportunities
for an additional endowment and benefactions of
$18,300,000 for the support of teaching, research and students, and additional capital funds of $7,700,000 for plant
expansion—a total of $26 million.
This proposed voluntary investment in the creative
future of our free world would provide these needed forward steps
For the support of teaching, research and students:
$9,900,000
33 Endowed professorships
4,400,000
88 Research and training fellowships
Improved library resources
2,000,000
To endow at least the present amount of
student assistance so that all scholarship
grants would be covered by income from
capital funds for this purpose

IS IT GOOD BUSINESS?
The answer from all quarters is a definite YES! For example:
"Ifrisingeducational levels are essential to themaintenance
of a dynamic economy and a free society," says the Committee on Education of the Chamber of Commerce of the U.S.,
"an active interest in providing ever-better educational
opportunity in your community is the essence of Good Citizenship, Good Government, and Good Business."
This is an era in American history when there is a critical
shortage of educated manpower.
The availability and proximity of advanced educational opportunities offered by the University of Buffalo will become
more and more a vital factor in sustaining present business and
industrial organizations, in attracting new enterprises to this
area, and in attracting employees who wish those opportunities
for themselves and their children.
It is encouraging to note that throughout the country, corporations —for very valid reasons—are voluntarily contributing
more to the support of higher education. A billion dollars of
new facilities were announced in 1956 for the Niagara Frontier.
The University of Buffalo can help to make this expansion fully
significant with educated men and women.
CONFIDENCE IN OPERATIONS

The University of Buffalo, frankly, has not gone in for frills
or luxuries. It has been devoted squarely and intensively to the
educational jobat hand. It has always reported fully and operated economically, with low overhead and full use offacilities.
The percentage of space utilization throughout the day and
evening and over the larger period of the semester is among the
very highest of any major college in the country.
Those of us who wish to share in the countless benefits which
derive from this or any university must also recognize that inflation has affected the endowment returns, that operating
costs have increased, that tuition and tuition increases do not
cover the total cost of educating a student, and that the devoted
teaching and scholarly profession has not fared well in the expanding prosperity of the United States.
for student

housing, prudent management indicates that selfliquidating loans, to the extent of$11,200,000, might bemadefor
four new residence halls and a student union. This would bring
resident student capacity from the present 600 to 2800 in 1970.

�WHY PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS?
The Council perceives the role and values of both state and
independent universities. But it also believes that it is wise for
this country, for freedom, and for all higher education, to maintain the American heritage of the balanced picture of private
and public support and control. The United States government
has always built on the principle of encouraging private phi-

lanthropy

to higher

education.

Further, simple social arithmetic, affecting everyone:—where
the basic investment in plant, facilities (U.B.'s replacement
value is estimated at $37,000,000), and administrative structure
has already been made—and thousands of our citizens and
alumni have contributed—relatively small outlays will purchase a maximum of additional, quality educational opportunities.
The fact that commendable economy and efficiency in the use
of each dollar is planned and promised should be kept in mind.
The PROGRAM outlined above is more than an analysis of
pressing needs. It is a challenge to get more value out of your
University —how to make it a more effective instrument.
Resources, which are thriftily estimated, socially justified,
and soundly managed are needed to turn this vision into reality
for the benefit of our young men and women.
BOLD—BUT POSSIBLE

In the judgment of the Council and the various committees
of the University, the Development Program is bold, difficult,
creative—but also feasible. The dimensions of this Program
are socially justified to match and to nurture the confidence and
civic pride of this 14th largest metropolitan area with a first-

position University.
Concerted effort and generous giving can bring this GREATER UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO into being.
THE PLAN OF OPERATIONS
is

The first step in the final success of the Development Program
to reach the goal of the 1957-1958 phase of $9,600,000.
Campaign committees and task forces of volunteers are now

being organized and will follow a carefully-planned and timed
sequence of operations. First, opportunities will be presented
with an initial emphasis upon gifts in the larger brackets to
give the program an enthusiastic momentum. This will be followed by further intensive, personal solicitation of alumni and
friends until April 1958, and continuing efforts thereafter regarding grants, benefactions, bequests, and annual giving.
When the objective is permanent—capital giving for endowment and needed buildings —a higher scale of philanthropy will
help to reach the goal.
Every effort will be made to see that every potential con-

tributor understands the situation and program.

Inquiries to The University of Buffalo Development Office,
3435 Main Street, Buffalo 14, N. Y. will have a prompt response. (Telephone: UNiversity 9300).
YOUR UNIVERSITY AND YOUR WORLD
This community, in the past, has always proved to be particularly sensitive to its role in the University's progress. The
University has every confidence that the united and earnest
efforts of the citizens who make up the ever-widening University constituency, its alumni, friends, foundations, and business
organizations will recognize its problems as their own and will
desire to turn them into opportunities through the Greater
University of Buffalo Development Program.

�HIGHLIGHTS FROM
In November, ActingChancellorClaude
E. Puffer submitted to the University
Council, his annual report for the academic year 1955-1956. Included in this
report are the impressions of Dr. Puffer
for the year he held the position of ActingChancellorofthe University.

Growth and Development of the
University
The report began with a brief history
of the origin, growth and development of
the University, highlighting the development of the endowment, the obtaining of
Dr. Samuel P. Capen as first full time
Chancellor, the growth in number of the
student body and the part played by the
citizens in the development of the University.
The Future
Dr. Puffer stated, "That the colleges
and universities of this land are facing
very serious problems brought about by
two factors. The first one is the increased
numbers who wish to enroll in colleges.
The other factor which is causing colleges, particularly the voluntarily supported colleges, serious concern is the inflation which has taken place since the
beginning of World War II and which
promises to continue as a relatively permanent aspect of our economy."
Dr. Puffer posed the question of what
can be done about the inflationary problem?
"For those voluntarily supported institutions that have the will and the determination to meet the needs of the future in both quantity and quality of educational opportunities there is only one
source of support that the majority of
such collegesreally want. There are, however, at least two other sources which
may of necessity become available if the
public so decides. Before these are enumerated let me point to the dismaying
prospect that unless our society substantially increases its assistance to privately
controlled colleges it is inevitable that
state controlled institutions will grow at
a much more rapid rate than the privately

CHANCELLOR'S ANNUAL REPORT

"The source of support that the privately controlled colleges really desire is
a continuation of voluntary gifts from

alumni, friends, business corporations,
foundations and other benefactors, in
such increased volume that the problems
can be met. This is from all points of view
the best possible solution. It is the one to
which the University of Buffalo sub-

scribes and our plans are being made ac-

cordingly."

As a second possible answer to the
source of support, Dr. Puffer believes,
"Therelationship between private institutions and the federal government must
be reviewed."
"A third possible answer lies in the relationship between privately controlled
institutions and their state governments.
While the responsibility for inflation is
not present at the state level, the responsibility for educational opportunities is."
Returning to the immediate problem of
the future of The University of Buffalo
Dr. Puffer stated, "It is the determination
of The University of Buffalo to fulfill its
role as an urban university dedicated to
the needs of the community. The University of Buffalo should be proud to be identified as an urban university because the
urban university is destined to fulfill a
unique and evermore important role in
ourcivilization."
"The major direction of development
of the University in the next several years
is undoubtedly in the field of graduate
work. Those departments that are able to
keep a nucleus of distinguished faculty
members will draw to the University
young graduate students who will not
only assist us inmeeting our faculty needs
to some extent, but will also bring greater
renown to the University as they go Into
other universities, into industry, or into
the professions, and will help us meet the
pressing national need for highly trained

manpower of many kinds."
Financial Status
"In the year ended June 30, 1956 The

in privately controlled institutions. For

and expenditures with a surplus for the
year of $7,007. For this accomplishment
much credit must be given to the members of the Council of the University, to

occasions, the existence of this balance
is highly desirable for the nation. The upsetting of it would be a long step back-

was $7,782,491.04. This included a variety of gifts and grants, payments for
sponsored research, income fromauxiliary
enterprises such as residence halls, cafeteria, bookstore, as well as income from
investments and income from student

fees."
"The fact that there has been financial
stability should not convey the impression that there has been an ample amount
of money to care for all of the University
needs in the quantity and quality that
sound education calls for. Perhaps a better way to put the case is to describe the
University as poor but solvent. The task
of continuing improvement of faculty
salaries, of building additional plant fast
enough to keep ahead of the wave of students of the next 15 years, and of trying
to keep the University's purchasing
power anywhere near constant or expanding as inflation continues during the coming years, is a most formidable one. Far
greater support is needed from the community, and particularly the corporations, if the future course of the University is to be an upward rather than a dccliningone."

University Development
"One of the most heartening activities
in the area of University support and development is that of the several participating funds. Previous annual reports of
the Chancellor and the Treasurer have
called attention to their beginnings. The
pioneer in this effort hasbeen the Medical
Participating Fund which under the
guidance of devoted alumni has obtained
regular annual contributions to be used
for the improvement of the instruction
and research in the School of Medicine
and particularly in the basic sciences of
that division. Not only alumni of the
University of Buffalo, but also all practicing physicians in the area are asked to
contribute and an exceedingly high percentage do contribute."
"A Dental Participating Fund was
established last year in the same pattern.
A Pharmacy Participating Fund and a
Business Administration Participating
Fund have also been established and
while still in their infancy have been

making a sound beginning."
"During the year a gift was received
from the Ford Foundation in the amount
of approximately $1,000,000 to be used
for a minimum of 10 years as endowment
for the improvement of faculty salaries.
The exact amount of the gift had not been
established at the end of the year since

�some questions of detail in answer to a
follow-up questionnaire submitted by the
Foundation were still being prepared on
June 30. This magnificent gift will be received in two equal amounts in July 1956
and July 1957."
"Of the bequests received by the University, spacewillpermit mention of only
three: The Hochstetter Bequest which
will provide very substantialsums for the
support of research in the School of
Medicine; The Sherman Bequest which
will make it possible to construct a new
building connected with Capen Hall to
complete facilities needed by the School
of Medicine and to house research to be
supported by the Hochstetter Bequest;
and the Slee Bequest which will provide
concerts for the people in Buffalo as well
as substantial assistance to the teaching
program of the Department of Music.

Enrollment
"The registration of students as of November 1, 1955 stood at 11,001, as com-

pared with 10,039 a year ago or an increaseof slightly less than 10%.Approximately 6,617 students were enrolled in
the daydivisions and approximately 4,300
students in the evening divisions. Of the
total student enrollment 3,144 were veterans. The enrollment was divided between approximately 8,000 men and 3,000
women.
"Perhaps the only comment required is
one which has been repeated many times
in the past few months and will be repeated again and again in the months to
come. I refer to the reliable forecast that
future enrollments must be anywhere
from 100% to 140% greater than even
this amazing number of 11,001 students."

Alumni
"Alumni interest in the University and
in alumni activities seems to be growing
substantially. In the many meetings of
divisional alumni groups in Buffalo and
in the meetings of out-of-town associations, a sense of enthusiasm aqd vigor is
clearly noticeable. The General Alumni
Board is rapidly assuming more leadership and responsibility in University affairs. The Office of Alumni Relations is
making many plans to bring to theattention of alumni groups the educational
activities and policies of the University,
the extra-curricular activities and the
manyways in which alumni can benefit
from their organization. As Chancellor
Furnas pointed out in his annual report
for 1954-55, there should be a constructive demonstration that the University is
interested in the alumni in many other
ways besides financial contributions. This
is progressing in a satisfactory manner."

Instruction and Research
"The University Senate has been revitalized and is taking a far more important role in educational planning and
policy making this year. This is a very
gratifying development to all members of
the faculty and administrative staff".
"In the Graduate School of Arts and
Sciences where it is expected that many
of the major developments of the next
few years will take place, further improvements in program and relationships
were undertaken with the Roswell Park
Division of the Graduate School."
"A new two degree five year program
of studies has been established by a cooperative arrangement between the College of Arts and Sciences and the School
of Engineering. A superior student who
elects this program will take part of his
work in the field of American studies in
the College of Arts and Sciences and the
remainder of it in the School of Engineering, receiving the degree of Bachelor of
Arts and the degree of Bachelorof Science
at the end offive years.
"In the College of Arts and Sciencesa
new department of Anthropology and
Linguistics has been created. A team of
outstanding scholars in this area has been
added to the staffof the department under
the chairmanship of Professor Henry Lee
Smith,Jr."
"In all other divisions existing curricula are being subjected to critical study
and revisions are being made. Throughout the entire University, there is an
atmosphere of soul-searching and perspective from which major advances
should come.

Publications
Members of the University family had
9 books published during the past year.
"In addition to the books there are at
least 361 articles in scientific, technical
and scholarly magazines covering a wide
range of subject matter."

tion other than one of continual expand-

ing service

to

the community."

Conclusion
"In this report I have endeavored to
provide a sense of perspective. If I have
succeeded, you have before you a picture
of one of the most rapidly developing
universities in the land. You see a dynamic institution that has arisen from
very modest beginnings, that has a firm
belief in its basic philosophy of service to
its community, and a determination to
transform the many problems which face
it into equally significant opportunities.
"This University is fortunate in having a governingbody with the character
and devotion shown by the members of
the Council. It is fortunate in the leadership that it has had in the period since
1922 when Dr. Samuel P. Capen became
its first full time Chancellor. Under Dr.
Furnas it should not only move ahead
rapidly but also continue to go in the
right direction. It has been fortunate in
possessing an intellectual climate where
freedom, good teaching and scholarly research are the basic components. It has
been fortunate in having loyal alumni
who have, however, only recently begun
to provide the support of which they are
capable. And finally, it has been very
fortunate in having the good will and
snpport of the tens of thousands in the
community whose University it really is.
May I say to the Council of the University and to the Faculty and Staff that I
have, indeed, been honored to serve as
Acting Chancellor and to have had at
least a small part in the University that
stands so high in my hopes and affection."
ClaudeE. Puffer
Acting Chancellor

Community Service
"The University defines its community
in two ways. The first and obvious definition is one which comprises Buffalo and
Western New York. In another sense the
community that we serve is the entire

world."
"In terms of perspective, the service
rendered by the University has been grow-

ing very rapidly indeed. The basic fact
that The University of Buffalo is an urban
university with a very strong service motivation and supported by tens of thousands of people in the immediate area
makes it impossible to visualize a situa-

The most significant development in

the Audio-Visual Center in the past year,
which surpasses in importance the addition of production service, is the organization of systems to control the flow of
materials and services to the user. These
systems were set up to meet the increased
acceptance of Audio-Visual Aids to education, which acceptance manifested itself
in the 3,000 requests and over 15,000
movements of items in the last year.
The paramount problem of the past
has been that of promoting the use of
modern tools of learning among the
university faculty. The greatest problems
of today are the acquisition of space and
the employment of personnel to handle
the everincreasing demands on the AudioVisual Center.

Dr. Furnas had been extremely vigorous during the past year in conducting the
Pentagon's research and development
program. Early last year he was the focal
point of a dispute that brought to a head
a row over the designation of authority
between the scientists and production
men in theresearch and development proon

At that time he threatened to resign his
position unless the scientists' part was
considered an integral part of the research and development program.
In January, when Dr. Furnas offered his
resignation, he told President Eisenhower
in an exchange of letters that it has become "critically important" that he return to the University. He said the University is starting a major drive for funds
"which unfortunately are especially

�Lafayette, Lehigh
and Temple Added
to Bull's Schedule
Athletic Director Jim Peelle announced
four important additions to the University of Buffalo football schedule for 1957.
Lafayette, Lehigh, Temple and Wayne
are the formidablefoes that will challenge
Coach Dick Offenhamer's eleven come
next fall. These four new teams represent
quite a step upward in U.B.s gridiron
competition.

The Bulls will play a nine game
schedule in '57, an increase of one game
over the past season. Carnegie Tech,
Western Reserve, St. Lawrence, Alfred
and Cortland are continuing on the
schedule.
1957 will mark the first time a University of Buffalo football team has ever
played the Owls of Temple. Temple, once
a great national power under the late
Glenn "Pop" Warner, is well along the
road to gridiron recovery after an extended period offootball de-emphasis.
Lafayette defeated the Bulls 26-0 in
their only previous meeting in 1954. The
Leopards are one of the East's oldest and
and most respected intercollegiate football powers. Lafayette's record in 1956
was 6 wins and 3 losses against strong

competition.
The University and Lehigh have
tangled four times in the past, although
not since 1953. The Engineers from Beth-

lehem, Pa. defeated the Bulls 27-0 in that
year and also were victorious in 1939 and
1952. The teams played to a scoreless tie
in 1941. Like Lafayette, Lehigh has a
long and meritorious football past and
the Engineer's schedule is always one of
the toughest of the independent schools
in the East.
Wayne University of Detroit returns
to the schedule after a ten year lapse. The
Bulls never had a win in the eight games
played between the two schools. The
Tartan's 32-12 victory in 1947 ruined an
otherwise perfect season for one of Jim
Peelle's outstanding teams.
Lafayette, Lehigh and Wayne will be
met in battle at Rotary Field while the
Bulls will travel to Philadelphia to meet
Temple. Cortland and Western Reserve
will also play at Rotary Field. Carnegie
Tech, St. Lawrence and Alfred, in addition to Temple are road games.
U.B.s four 1956 home games drew
approximately 25,000fans, theequivalent
offour complete sellouts. Jim Peelle anticipates even greater interest in next years
team and plans are being made to enlarge
the Rotary Field stands.

Spirited Basketball
Enables Bulls to
Maintain 9-4 Pace
The University of Buffalo basketball
started the season off on the right
foot by defeating a stubborn Oswego
State team, 76-73 in Clark Gym. The
Bulls, who had always distinguished
themselves by winning the close ones
during the reign of Mcl Eiken, followed
the same pattern in winning the first
game under the tutelage of Len Serfustini.
Howie Lewis was the high scorer for the
Bulls with 17 points.
Cornell University handed U.B. its first
defeat of the season, 63-54, by coming
from behind with a torrid second-half
rally. The Bulls, led by Chuck Daniels'
21 points, appalled the Big Red by building up a 24-21 half time lead. In the second
half, Cornell and sophomore Lou Jordan
found the range and spelled the end for
Buffalo. The victory gave Cornell a 12-9
edge over UB in their basketball series
dating back to 1906.
Buffalo was back on the winning side
of the ledger with a 72-66 double overtime victory over Buffalo State Teachers
College at Clark Gym. Fred Johnson, a
senior who had seen little action before
this game, came off the bench to tie the
score with 14 seconds to go. Each team
scored six points in the first overtime. In
the second, UB went ahead with eight
straight points to sew up the contest.
Joe Tontillo was high for the night with
18 points.
The journey to Geneva, N. Y. and
Hobart College was costly for the basketteam

ball Bulls as the Statesmen handedBuffalo
its second loss of the season, 49-47- Jerry
Strobel's one handed shot from the corner
as the final buzzer sounded gave Hobart
the win. Joe Tontillo was again high for
the Bulls with 14 points.
Brockport State Teachers became ÜB's
third victim as the Bulls defeated them
69-58 in Clark Gym. Joe Tontillo, a
sophomore who led UB in scoring in the
two previous games, made 11 of 12 free
throws and scored a total of 23 points to
lead Buffalo to victory.
The Bulls caged a remarkable 53% of
their shots from the floor in defeating
Rochester 86-66. They sank 35 of 66 shots
as they romped through the game at
Clark Gym. Chuck Daniels took the
scoring honors with 20 points. The game
was the first for the Bulls after the
Christmas holiday layoff.
The University of Buffalo won their
third straight and gained the pleasure of
revenge as they defeated Hobart 97-68 at
Clark Gym. The win was the fifth against
two losses for the Bulls who looked very
good in this game and made Coach Len
Serfustini look with pride to his team.
Chuck Daniels was again high with 19
points.

Cortland State snapped the three game
win streak of Buffalo by defeating them
80-71 at Cortland. UB outscored Cortland
from the field 26 to 24 but the decision
was locked up by Cortland at the free
throw line where they converted 32 of 41
compared to 19 of 30 free throws for the
Bulls. Roy Fowler's 16 points and
Daniels' 15 points were high for the
Bulls.
Colgate's Red Raiders with their 64"
center John Nichols were too much for

the Bulls in Hamilton, N. Y. Nichols
scored 35 points to lead Colgate to victory. The Bulls were never ahead as
Colgate hit on 30 of 58 shots for a 52rj
average. Chuck Daniels led Buffalo with
a respectable 25 points.
The University of Buffalo Basketball
team entered a two week recess for midterm exams with a winning record—6
victories, 4 defeats. This was accomplished by a win over Alfred University,
85-71. They had to come from behind in
rhe final six minutes to stay above the
break-even mark. Roy Fowler had his
best scoring night with 26 points.
As we went to press, the Basketball
Bulls made their record 9 and 4 with impressive victories over Brockport and
R.P.I, and a repeat win over Buffalo
State Teachers. Brockport was beaten decisively, 65-51, R.P.I, went down to defeat 65-53 and State was overrun 60-45.
Chuck Daniels, a standout all season for
Buffalo, was the big man in the three
wins, scoring 25 in the Brockport game,
16 against R.P.I, and 21 in the victory
over State.

Spring recess is eagerly looked forward to with mixed emotions. The
anxiety of going home for a well earned vacation and the complications arising just as you get all set to leave certainly seem to confront

these two students from Rochester, N. Y. It looks impossible, but with
Carole Wishart's help he managed to squeeze all their belongings into
his Renault and Carole, a Bus. Ad. senior, earned her lift back home.

MessageFrotCmhanceflUivrsty

To the Alumni:
In education, as in industry, success hinges on making valid predictions of
the demands of the future. In thewords ofC. F. Kettering, formerly a Vice President of General Motors, "We should all be concerned about the future because
we will have to spend the rest of our lives there."
The year 1971 will be the 125th anniversary ofthe founding ofThe University
of Buffalo. That makes it a logical date on which to focus our planning. At the
University you hear nearly as much talkabout 1971 as you do 1957. We anticipate
that by that year we will have bona fide needs to accommodate approximately
twice the enrollment of today. To reach this lofty, but realistic goal, we must
increase our faculty from 700 to approximately 1500 and supplement and expand
our physical facilities accordingly.

Nobody, of course, is forcing us to undertake such an expansion. Rather , it is our strong feeling of responsibility to you, our alumni, as well as to our community and the nation as a whole which dictates that we open the
doors to the ever-increasing numbers of qualified candidates demanding a university education. We are reluctant,
indeed, to turn away sound applicants. If we are to meet our obligations we must expand.
In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1956, our gross income was $7,782,491.04. Contributions from alumni,
industry, foundations, bequests and others totaled $1,382,705.44. We are indeed grateful for this generosity and
consider it a vote of confidence in our current program.
We are now looking for an expression of confidence in our program for the future. Our goal of $9,600,000
in 1958 and $26,000,000 additional by 1971 is not based on what we think we can obtain, rather on what wefeel
we must obtain to meet the responsibilities of our stewardship.
This means we must all raise our sights. You will be asked to help us build a greater as well as larger University, ofwhich you can be prouder than ever before. In the years to come the University you are helping to build will
become increasingly useful to yourself and to your children. Generations that follow will see to it that the immense
good which you have done will not be forgotten.

Sincerely yours,

University of the Stateof New York and
state commissioner of education,speak on
the "Basic Considerations in the Expansion of Higher Education."
Dr. Allen told the mid-year graduates
that' 'higher education is a public responsibility" and the private college and university "must be considered as a part of
the whole responsibility which the public
must bear."

Dr. Allen stated that The University of
Buffalo's present attainments and future

plans "are characteristic of the type of
progresswhich justifies and gives real
promise offulfillment for our hopes for
higher education."
"The support which is given to the
University by the people of Buffalo is an
inspiring example of publicresponsibility
for higher education," he added.
"The University of Buffalo has given
great leadership in the Niagara frontier
in furthering co-operative action and
planning and in doing so is playing an
important part in assuring a sound future
for higher education."
Congratulating the members of the
graduating class,Dr. Allen said:
"May I urge that youaccept your share
of the public responsibility for making
certain that the privilege of higher education which has been yours will also be
available for all qualified young people
of the future."

or political act, a great book, a great
work of art, a great scientific achievement, or any other thing which in itself
is truly great and ennobling and which
dignifies the performer and Buffalo in the
eyesof the world."

�Alumnae
Like the sinking of the Titanic and
other national disasters,this year's alumnae programwill be looked upon by historians as a time beset by calamity and illfated planning. Work on the Alumnae
Association's annual luncheon and fashion show was down to the last picayune
detail, when the Lido Hotel was closed
five days beforethe scheduled March 23
event. Recovering from shock, chairman
Irene GrahamScars,association president
Ruth Euller Heintz and their brave committee moved the affair to Norton Union,
where it was held with great success.
The only unshaken party concerned
was scholarship winner Joan Bates, a
junior accounting student in the School
of Business Administration who received
her three hundred dollar award right on

schedule.
Closed buildings arc nothing new to
the alumnae. After the careful selection

of the Automobile Club of Buffalo as the
site for their annual dance in June during
Alumni Weekend,that place was closed
without warning in January. The dance
is now planned for June 8 at the Buffalo
Athletic Club, assuming the club will
neither be condemned nor struck by lightning in the meantime.

The Alumnae Association's next general meeting will be held on May 8 at the
Faculty Club at 8:00 P.M. Mrs. Janet
Lucille Robins, interior decorator, will
speak about "Exciting New Fabrics for
the Home." Election of officerswill take
place at this meeting, followed by refreshments. Ruth Kintner Starr, BS(Bus)

�Serfustini's Bulls Rack-up 18-7 Mark;
Reach Quarter Finals in NCAA Tourney

The fencing "Bulls" posted a season
record of 17 wins and 2 losses to compile
one of the most enviable fencing records

in the country. Their victory percentage
against some of the best teams in the nation ranks among the tops in collegiate
fencing. The fencerscapped their successful campaign with a victory in the NorthAtlantic Championships.
The highlight ofthe seasonfor the U.B.
squad was the showing of Bob Peterson
in the national championships. Peterson
led his team to 12th place out of 32
colleges at the championships in Detroit.
In addition to gaining 3rd place in the
tournament, Peterson was selected to the
first team ''A3l-American.'' In accomplishing this feat, Peterson defeated
Columbia and Notre Dame fencerswho
placed Ist and 2nd consecutively. He is
the first fencerin the school's fencing history to have received an "All-American"
honor.

The University of Buffalo Basketball
Bulls finishedthe season with an impressive 18-7 mark and also added a feather
in the cap of CoachLen Serfustini by
reaching the quarter-finals in the College
Division of the NCAA Tournament.
Dr. Len Serfustini, coaching his first
year of basketball at the University, can
be mighty proud of his charges as they
fought their way past team after team
beforebeing invited to participate in the
NCAA tourney.
Oneof the biggest barriers in the Bull's
charge was overcome by a surprising
78-70 victory over highlyregarded Akron
University on Akron's home court. This
victory climaxed a win streak of seven
straight and came on the eve of a dis-

appointing trouncing by Navy, 80-50 on

the Middies home court.
Buffalo was sensational as it entered
the NCAA tournament at Clark Gym
against favored Capital University of
Columbus, Ohio. Powered by the long
range bombing of Chuck Daniels, who
had 32 points, the Bulls moved into the
second round of the tournament with a
75-64 victory over Capital.
Against Evansville it was JoeTontillo's
layup, nine seconds before the gun, that
provided the winning margin 77-75. But
230-pound senior SteveSklar was the real
hero of the day as he paced the Bulls with
31 points. It was Sklar's greatest gamein
a U.B. uniform and coupled with Chuck
Daniels" fine, steady play the Bulls
vaulted into the NCAA semi-finals
against formidable Kentucky Wcsleyan in
Evansville, Indiana.

26

Even in losing to Kentucky Wesleyan
72-68,the Bulls won the respect and admiration of the partisan fans, and Coach
Serfustiniwas proud of the way his team
fought and hustled every minute of the
play. Daniels again was the big gun in
the U.B. attack with a total of 22 points.
The Bulls, in Serfustim'sfirst season as
head coach ended the campaign with a
won 18, lost 7 record. "It was a wonderful season, and this team did a wonderful
job," Serfustinisaid.

Award from new GAB president, Owen B. Augspurger, Jr., LLB'37,as
outgoing president Edward F. Mimmack,DDS'2I looks on.
In response to the award, Dr. Beck commented, "If it had not been
for the University I should never have had the opportunity of receiving
the education and the training as a physician which I have had. If I have
been able to contribute in any small way to my Alma Mater, I feel that
I am only to a minor degree discharging a genuine obligation, which
can be repaid only by helping to create similar opportunities for others
in our community."

Robert E. Rich

"Who Owns the University?"

Accepts Alumni
Leadership

Dear Alumnus:
In this issue of the "Bulletin" you will
read that Robert E. Rich, of the class of
1935,has accepted my invitation to take
leadership of alumni as we go forth to
financeour Program of Progress. It was
after due deliberation on the personal
sacrificeinvolved that Mr. Rich told me
how proud he was of the University and
that he would do everything in his power
to help the "fellows who own the University." This reminded me that ....
Severalyearsago a Dartmouth alumnus
addressed a messageto his fellow alumni
on the theme,"who owns Dartmouth?"
Of courseno one "owns" Dartmouth; no
one "owns" The University of Buffalo
either. But in a larger sense everyone
"owns" the University.
On May 11, 1846 New York State
granted a charter to the Council to establish a University. The Council however,
does not "own" the University—they
are Trustees. The Council has in turn

delegated administrative responsibility

to the Chancellors,Deans and Directors,
and the teaching duties to the Faculty.
This of course you all know. But what of
the alumni?Do they "own" the University? Or the students,do they "own" the
University? Obviously we are all stockholders in this educational enterprise.
Profitsare shared by many. Responsibilities are shared by many.
But if we tried to measure the value of
all its products, what assets we could
audit! Who is to measure the value of the
physician who saves the child's life?; or
the dentist who alleviates pain and aids
dental health?;orthe valueofthe physicist
who computes the measure of control of
x-rays or radio isotope radiation?; or the
value of the contribution of lawyer or
sociologist to the betterment of the com-

munity?
The University for years has given
recognition to individuals who have en-

nobled Buffalo in the eyesof the world.
Over one hundred thousand former stu-

dents have helped to build this institution. Yes, the products of the University
have as great a stake as any in the future
of the University. The very reputation of
their degree and training is reflected in
the continuing high character of the
three aspects of Universityresponsibility:

effective community participation,

breadth and depth of research,and quality of instruction.
The University is preparing to accept
its share of the expected national increase of college students —possibly from
three million to six million or even more.
Our alumni should know that they are
joining ten million college alumni who
are assisting their alma maters to meet
the needs of higher education across the
nation.
The American Alumni Council, of
which the University is a member,recently reported through its annual Fund
Survey for 1956 that, for the first time,
annual giving had exceeded $100million.
This total was reported by 442 member
institutions. The Fund Survey pointed
out that, "Gratified as it is by the $100
million bench mark established by the
1956 Fund Survey, the American Alumni
Council makes it clear that this figure
falls short of the potential of alumni support to higher education—as alumni
come to recognize the importance of their
role in financing higher education the
totals seem certain to climb—"
SoonMr. Rich will be discussing with
alumni, methods of proceeding with the
task at hand. I hope all of you will assume your task in the same way he has.
Then truly will alumni assume their
share of the "ownership" of the Univer-

sity.

Sincerely Yours,

ChancellorClifford C. Furnas and Campaign Chairman Charles H. Diefendorf

announced Robert E. Rich's

acceptance

as Chairmanof the Alumni Committee
for the 1957-58 campaign for a Greater
University of Buffalo.
The officialannouncementwas made to
the Executive Committeeof the General
Alumni Board by President Edward F.
Mimmack, DDS'2O,at their meeting on
May 1.
As an undergraduate, Mr. Rich, BS
(Bus)'3s, was a class officerfor four years,
captain of the football team in 1933 and
1934, captain of the wrestling team in
1933 and student coach in 1934. He was a
member of the Athletic Council in both
1933 and 1934 and was elected to the
Bisonhead Society in the latter year.
After graduation, he coached the University's freshmanfootball team for two
years. In 1936, he was elected Alumni
Representative to the Athletic Council
and in 1937 served as President of the Business Administration Alumni Association.
Mr. Rich was a member of the Centennial Committeein 1947 and the Greater
University of BuffaloDevelopment Committee in 1952. He is a Past President of
the General Alumni Board and is presently an active member of the Board's
Executive Committee. He has been a
member of the University of Buffalo
Council since 1950,served on the Building and Grounds Committee, and since
1952 has been a member of the Council's
GeneralAdministration Committee.

ginning it has been part of the Great
American Dream that everyperson who

has the requisite intellectual ability, and
is willing to make the effort should have
the opportunity to go to college. In the
eyesof the older cultures this has been a
rash and foolish, if not downright stupid,
point of view. But we have never, as a
nation, relinquished that ideal.
It was only 16 years after the Pilgrim
Fathers landed that the first institution
of higher education in America was
founded—Harvard College, in 1636. It
was truly a grass-roots movement, in

response to public needs and desires.

in 1862 when President Lincoln signed
the Morrill Act, which established the
Land Grant Colleges. This was the foundation pattern for our state universities.
The latest movement of major significance in American higher education has
been the rise in importance of the "urban" university—of which, I feel justified in saying, The University of Buffalo
is one of the stronger examples.

�In approaching our future, it is well for
analyze the virtues and the real or
imagined defects of the urban universities. This is an excellent exercise for
everyinstitution to go through at fairly
frequent intervals, no matter how estimable it may consider itself to be.
To manypeople the most obvious virtue of the urban university is that whatever it has to offer is here—on location
where the people are. Second,because of
proximity, one can live at home and get
a university education for less money
than if he goesaway. Third, because of
proximity and dedication of faculty and
administration to the region, the university program and curriculum are readily
responsive to the advanced educational
needs of the region.
Look at the other side of the coin. Are
there defects and, if so, can they be corrected?There are those who have a vague
feeling that a proper education can only
be acquired in an isolated institution, in
a semi-rural setting, with sweeping lawns
and ivy-covered walls. If lawns and collegiate ivy are the essentials of the situation, I would ask you to observe that
both are doing quite well here—in a
distinctly urban setting.
One's pride in one's institution need
not be solely rooted in contemplation of
aged traditions or an array of great accomplishments. There will be times when
you feel the warm glow of recall of the
chimes in the clock tower, the beauty of
the driving snow across this wind-swept
knoll on some bitter winter day, the
word of encouragement from your
grouchiest professor when you, perhaps,
needed it most, the friendly banter of a
classmate. These may all be little things,
but taken together they make you feel
that you are part of a dynamic, driving,
vital and intensely human entity. I trust
your University has also given you these
elements for future quiet pride and pleasus to

relatively expensive, they will come
slowly, but they are of paramount importance and will be accomplished.
Because of our large proportion of commuting students, and our involvement
with local interests,have we become undulyprovincial? Is the often-used,slightly opprobrious characterization of "the
street-car college" justified? The answer
is: partially, yes. We, along with other
urban universities, are aware of the defect and are embarked along the remedial
road. Oneline of attack is ourdormitory
program to accommodate a number of
out-of-city students. If our university has
virtues, we should not selfishly limit
their availability to those who happen
to live within commuting radius. Further, it is certainly true that students who
are in residence,who come from a different locality, who live the university
life twenty-four hours a day, do contribute immensely to the breadth of the
institution, to a wholeness of purpose, to
theesprit dc corps, and to loyalty. Everyone gains."
In paraphrasing Dr. Furnas,he stated
that the one problem facing all Universities is the tidal wave of greatly increased
numbers of people of age 18 to 22 now
approaching the college gates. Population increase and desirability of acquiring
a college education present a problem in
numbers which will touch everycitizen
not just a few administrators. But no
mistake should be made,the millions of
prospective students will be served,under
the label of higher education, in some
manner or other.
The second part of the problem thus becomes, what methods should be used to
handle the expected numbers?Should we
change the old programs or keep them
intact? To arrive at any sound answers,
facilities and freedom of experiment in
the years to come must be available to

mere academic question. It is one of the
greatest importance. I emphasize this because there is a growing tendency for
many citizens to say in response to any
problem of public responsibility, "Let
the government worry about it and pay
for it." Strangely, we seem to be forgetting that no citizen can delegate or
forget his own responsibilities without
some loss of his individuality and personal sovereignty for which his forefathers,and probably he,himself, fought
some bitter battles. Neither can he get
something for nothing. When the government pays for it —everyonepays,through
the taxroute.
In terms of numbers,the students in
private and tax-supported institutions of
higher education are now about equal. It
is an excellent, balanced pattern. It is
pointless to argue about which is the
more important, because in modern America, either would be in dire straits without the other. It will truly be a sad day,
if either type of institution passes out of
existence,or is rendered ineffective.
If one peruses the history of the world,
he will probably note that during the
past two centuries, almost without exception, the only major nations which
have not been conquered or over-run, or
which have not submitted to the will of
a dictator, have been those which have
had a well-balanced system of both private and publicly-supported higher education. I feelthat this is much more than
a coincidence. A great part of American
eminence is directly attributable to this
dual educational pattern. It is vital to
our welfare that it continue.
In summary, the course of American
civilization has been based to a verygreat
degree on the effectivenessof a unique
pattern of higher education,principally
involving the traditional private institutions, the state universities,and the privately-supported urban universities. Since
we are now predominantly an urban
civilization, the urban universities have
the major obligation to meet the new
quantitative and qualitative educational
demands of the latter half of the twentieth century. But the task ahead of us is
one which will tax the ingenuity and resources of every type of college and university. May all the institutions, their
growing bodies of alumni, and the American public as a whole, which has developed such a remarkable industrial
civilization, have the wisdom, courage
and perseverance to provide the guidance
and support for the best possible educational opportunities for our children and
our children's children—even ad infinitum."

James Drasgow

A university can be a haven for the
education of the members of an upper IQ
income bracket. But the haven is often
turned to a happy hell by some hellions
who would rather live a life of laughter
than become educated. However, the condition is often an understandable celebration of a new freedom that is enjoyed
after a parole from this culture's overprotective parents. The laughing life
usually dies a natural death during the
first two years of college; the would-bestudents who haven't sobered-up during
this time will have generally committed
academic suicide. Somestudents succumb
for other reasons. The survivors, although not necessarily absolved from
more than occasional suspicions of playfulness,may continue on to enjoy a revival of formerfrolicking at proms, parties and alumni reunions.

A Man of Families
One man in his lifetime is a member of
many families. We are a member of our
father'sfamily and of our own family, of
our church family, political family and
alumni family. The world is full of families. I would like to focus on two: our
own family and the alumni family.
Our own family for the present purpose
consists of our sons and daughters. Oneof
the most striking characteristics of sons
and daughters is that you would seldom
recognize them from their parents' descriptions. Ac worst a child is not a
genius, but there are other features which
make the child just as good, if not better.
This is actually a lot of superiority complex nonsense. College graduates in particular house the unholy assumption that
IQ is hereditary. The authorities on
IQism, the psychologists, thru repeated

and corroborated research studies, have
failed to demonstrate that IQ is hereditary. Nevertheless we usually persist with
the old tribal attitude as if our children

were the exceptions that proved the rule.
Many students show symptoms of family pressure to attend college. Someparents play the role of high-pressure salesmen in trying to talk their children into
college; other parents or relatives or
friendsmay use a low-pressure sales approach. Grooming a child for college is
often an eighteen year process. During
this time an almost infinite number of
opportunities are provided for a salesman
to experiment, modify, and score. Many
of the students we see often show the
signs of having been pushed, pulled,
manipulated or seduced into college.
After 18 years of it they are sometimes
sadly chronic cases. Not infrequently
they are nearly "nervous wrecks and
the additional pressure of quizzes, tests,
and exams provides an easyway to go
from bad to worse. This is a sad situation
because in-coming college students should
really be in top-notch physical and psychological shape so that they will not
have to suffermore than necessaryfrom

�the standard four yearsof exposure on our

windy campus.

As parents in our own family and as
members of our alumni family, we might
appreciate certain dual family responsibilities. For example say we have a son
or daughter who is not really interested
in attending college and the high school
record corroborates it. By manipulating
the child into college we may easily upset his psyche and concomitantly disturb
or disrupt an alumni family body. Parents often think only of the white collar
job opportunities for their college graduate children plus the seldom verbalized
enhancement of their own egosby having
children who are college graduatees. The
total price of pressured college attendance
should not be underestimated;don't forget that the pressures we exert on a child
can ruin his psychological guts.
The Will to Attend
Itis relatively easyto guesswhether a
person can or cannot attend college from
the viewpoint of simple things like
money or brains. The big problem is to
find out ifthe person really wants it. After
being subjected to 18 years of parental
propaganda, it is often difficult to determine whether the child wants to go to
college because he wants to go or because
his parents want him to go. A person
should do things with his own enthusi-

asm and motivation rather than with
his parents' or grandparents' enthusiasms.
It is particularly poignant to note here
that the children and students who have
a "mind of their own" also often have an
enthusiasm and motivation of their own.
We need more students with minds and
motivations of theirown.
Many parents vicariously attend college thru their children. The student is
oftena tool in the hands of the vicariously attending parents. The poor student is
caught between his parent and himself.
He can't be himself because of parental
pressures and he can't be his parents becauseof reality. Reality is indeed the most
important and most frequently overlooked factor. Too often reality is taken
to be one person's subjective impression.
The messy problem here is that when the
boss has a subjective impression, it better
be reality for you or else.
Severalrecent studies suggest that students may be somewhat handicapped by
having college graduate parents; the content of these studies indicates that the
children of college grads may not do as
well as the children of parents who have
had no college.* Why? Too many of the
college graduates* children have been
brought-up to assume that they will go
and thereforetake college for granted and
proceed to act accordingly while attending. The goofing-offis usually a symptom

of really not being serious about attending. When somebody else pays all the expenses of a student's attendance,he usually is not as highly motivated or mature
about attending. Students who have to
devote some time to working in order to
pay atleast part of their wayare generally
more motivated to get their money's
worth.
In view of the foregoing, the least we
can say is that being an alumnus may
present certain problems and that being
the child of alumni also presents problems. Because of all the problems involved, it would appear rather rough to
be two or more of the following: the
child of alumni, an alumnus, or a parent
of future alumni. It's a miracle there are
so many of us, but let's face it.

Home Living vs. Dorm Living
In the process of doing a research projsometime ago, it was discovered that
the students who lived in residence halls
tended to last longer in college than did
the students who lived at home. This differencewas puzzling and an investigation
was immediately launched in an attempt
to locate reasons for the differential academic mortality rates. A routine review
of the research literature revealed no
previously published results relevant to
the issue.
Twenty-six hypotheses were formulated to account for the difference.For
example, it was theorized that the dorm
students might last longer in college because they had higher I.Q.'s, more
money, more maturity, higher high
school averages,greater social success, or
higher college averages.
After converting the hypotheses into
measurable terms, data were collected in
order to statistically determine if any of
the 26 hypothesized differences actually
existed at a factual level. Out of all the 26
ect

Bulhrtin

possibilities that were studied, only five
were found to be of any consequence. Four
of these fivedifferencesmay be seen meaningfully as two pairs of two while the
fifth stands singly.
The first pair of outstanding differences
between groups was with the socioeconomic status of the family and the
number of the father's yearsof education.
Dorm students had more of both and it
would not be unreasonable to suspect that
these two factors may be closely related:
more education may be associated with
more income and higher socio-economic
status.

The other pair of differences was obtwo of the college aptitude
tests in the college entrance tests that are
taken by entering freshmen.The students
who lived at home did better on both. It
is indeed alarming that the students who
score higher on college aptitude tests
have neither higher college averagesnor
do they last longer in college than those
with lower aptitude test scores. Does it

take more to get through college than
aptitude? Love is not enough; maybe
aptitude isn't either.
The fifth and last difference that was
discovered consisted of the number of
things about which students worry, e.g.
occupational possibilities, choice of major field, ability to concentrate, harmony
at home,and money. The dorm students
had more worries. In conjunction with
other research findings it is corroborative
to note that the dorm students had both
more worries and fatherswith more education. This suggests again arelationship
found in other studies between paternal
education and problems possessed by
progeny.
One of the more interesting considerations indicated by the foregoing findings
is that students who live at home may
have more brains, but the students who
live in dormitories last longer academically. So, which is better, brains or a

college degree?

�Henry Heald, Ford
Foundation Head
Visits Campus
Dr. Henry T. Heald,Ford Foundation
president, visited Buffalo to take part in
The University of Buffalo's 111th anniversary. Dr. Heald, former president of
New York University and the Illinois
Institute of Technology, met with the
University Senateon "Founders Day"
and discussed his experiences as head of
those two great institutions.
Dr. Heald took part on the cornerstone
dedication of the music building and
spoke to the University Council and Development Board on "Philanthropy and

Higher Education.''
During his visit, Dr. Heald stated that
the Ford Foundation generally has supported private institutions, but for particular projects state supported units have
grants. He stressed that it is important to have strong private and strong

received

public institutions. The Foundation has
directed its aid to the private ones because they do not have the source of
revenue of state universities.
Dr. Heald observed that the general
problem in education is to increase the
resources in both private and public education. Quantity and quality of facilities
and teachers must be improved.

U. B. Gets "Star" Role
The University of Buffalo has
been selected "as the scene and
symbol of the surging urban-type
university" for a documentary film
that will ultimately be seen by
some 25,000,000persons in this
country and abroad.
Chancellor Clifford C. Furnas
said the film, being produced by
RKO Pathe, "'will be a significant
contribution to the understanding
of higher education" and "is
bound to draw favorableattention
to Buffalo and its neighbors
throughout the world."
"This effort," Dr. Furnas added,
"is one of several contributions the
University is making to the 125th
anniversary celebration of the City
of Buffalo and in our World Frontier ConvocationYear, to the vision of Buffalo as a great world

port."

Newsletter
This special supplement has beer, prepared by the office of UniversityDevelopment to acquaint Alumni
with interesting sidelights concerning the growth of the University. Additional supplementswill follow.

Dear Alumnus:
Did you realize that this year over 500 students at the University received

financial aid of more than $200,000.00 through the Alumni Fund, Loan Funds,
Scholarship Funds, etc. ? Were it not for the generosity of so many of you
through the Alumni Loyalty Fund, Loan Funds and Scholarships, this ac-

complishment would never have been realized.

***********
On the campus we now have four dormitories up and occupied. Each of these

houses 150 students, and all were acquired by the University with no capital

outlay. Three savings banks of Buffalo financed the buildings through mortgages on the property.

These mortgages are self-amortizing over the next

forty years from the income of students in residence.

***********
A new dormitory is going up in the center of the other four, and again at no

capital expense to the University.
Government $2,300,000.00 and

again from student income.

The University borrowedfrom the Federal

will pay it back during the next forty years,

This new building

will be an unusual one, rising

eleven stories--as

—

high as the Veteran's Hospital--it makes one think of the

United Nations Building in New York. Thi» structure will house 468 students
and will include separate dining

rooms, study

rooms and lounges.

***********
Our new laboratory building for carbon research has recently been completed.
The new Music Building now under construction, named Frank Burkett Baird
Hall, is located at the north end of the campus on Main Street, and

will be

ready for use in September.

***********
Ground has recently

been broken for the new 4-story Research Building, a

part of the Medical School, to be known as

Sherman Hall.

Speaking of current needs, we cannot stress too strongly the importance of

was greatest.

After

establishing himself, when approachedfor a contribution to the Alumni
Loyalty Fund, he gave extremely generously, with the simple explanation
that he felt that he could never repay the University what he owed it, and
this was the manner in which he chose to show his appreciation.

Two years ago, an addition was made to Norton Union which seats over 400

students in the cafeteria. This was paid for from profit of the bookstore over
the past ten years, and the assumed profit during future years. Again, this

$400,000.00 addition cost the University no capital outlay.

***********
You have probably noticed the new sign at the campus entrance.

This sign

tells what is going on currently, and was a gift from Thurber Le Win, MD '21.

***********
The new lights that illuminate Hayes Hall tower at night were the gift of
Mr. Karr Parker, a member of the University Council.

***********
The Alumni Loyalty Fund office has had many inquiries as to whether participation is limited to degree holders. Absolutely not. Contributions are welcome
from anyone

interested in the University, alumni or not, and may we suggest

that the University be remembered in your will.

***********
There is now room on the campus for parking 2,500 cars, and still parking is
a problem.

When you recall that we now have in full attendance on the campus

6,500 students, and another 4,500 part-time and night session students, this
University has really grown from the time when most of us attended.

***********
The U. B. Chronic Disease Research Institute, which you may remember as

the former Marine Hospital, is now owned by The University, again acquired
without capital expenditure. This was obtained at a price of $400,000.00, and

�4
if it is retained for teaching or research for the next twenty years, the govern-

ment will give it to the University at a

100%

discount. It is now a functioning

unit of the Medical School.

***********

Other buildings visualized in the near future for the campus are:
A Health Science Center to house Pharmacy, Nursing Arts.
A Biology, Physio-Therapy and Occupational Therapy Building.
A Chemistry Building.
An Arts and Science classroom Building.

Social Service Department Building.

***********
The Alumni Loyalty Fund office is interested in serving you in the best way

possible, and particularly in keeping you informed of the Loyalty Fund affairs.
As we only have your last address on record to mail bulletins and news, you
can see how important it is to keep us posted for any recent

address change.

Did

you know that:

The University is thirty-fifth in size of enrollment of all Universities in the

country, and fifteenth in size of student body among independent Universities.
The Faculty has 1,300 members.

The campus has 176 acres.
There are now 22 buildings on the campus.
There are 14 separate divisions of the University.
It takes 150 maintenance workers to clean, repair, police, etc., the University.

The University has 22,000 Alumni, located in every corner of the world.
There are 7

1/2 miles of sidewalks to shovel on the campus,

tons of coal to warm the buildings.

�Edgar C Beck, MD'19, is Capen Award Winner
f The SamuelP. Capen Alumni Award
Ifor 1957 was awarded to Edgar C. Beck,

IMD'l9, the annual General Alumni
Board Dinner held at the Buffalo Athletic Club on June 8.
The citation was read by the outgoing
president of the GAB, Edward F. Mimmack, DDS*2I, and presented to Dr.
Beck by the incoming president, Owen
B. Augspurger Jr., LLB'37.
The citation read, in part, as follows:
"This occasion marks the Bth presentation of the Capen award, and it is significant that the committee's selection was
in their opinion, both inevitable and
unanimous,so important and continuous
have been his activities in behalf of the
alumni and the University.
at

Since his graduation from The University of Buffalo Medical Schoolin 1919
he has given countless hours and untiring

devotion to his alma mater and his profession.
In 1921-22 he was an assistant in medicine on the faculty of The University of
Buffalo Medical School. In 1923 he became an instructor in medicine then an
instructor in pharmacology and medicine. In 1926 he was an associate in medicine. By 1943 he was assistant professor
of medicine and therapeutics and since

1949 has been associate clinical professor
medicine.
He is probably best known to alumni

of

for his leadership in establishing the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education. Through his boundless enthusiasm and tireless drive he inspired both
solicitors and donors of this great campaign. Although he has always been
first to insist that the project could never
have been a success without its strong,
active and dedicated Executive Committee, one name, nevertheless is primarily
associated with the Fund —that of its
dynamic organizer. So important were
his individual contributions to medical
education,that in 1955 The University
honored him with an alumni citation
for work in that field.
His distinguished career as a successful

�Bylaws Changes
Passed by GAB

Alumni Day Satisfies......
the youngsters

The General Alumni Board Bylaws revisions were passed at the annual General Alumni Board dinner on June 8 at the
BuffaloAthletic Club.They must now be
presented to the University Council for
ratification.
Changes in the bylaws were suggested
because of a need to provide a channel of
participation where the best qualified
people amongthe alumni would be able
to serve regardless of school representation.
For over a year,at each G.A.B. meeting
some time was given to consideration of
providing for a wider participation of
alumni in alumni affairs and bylaw
changes were set up to provide a wider
number of committee activities where
leadership qualities could be noticed and
new blood supplied to the GeneralAlumni Board.

Proposed bylaw changes reduces the
number of Vice Presidents to four and reduces Past Presidents from ten to five. A
provision for appointment of six people
at large to the G.A.B. and the provision
for appointment of three advisors by the
President as members of the Executive
Committeefrom theG.A.B., provides the
necessaryflexibility.
The change in the committee system
contains the most important improvements in the new bylaws. These changes,
found in Articles VI, read as follows.
SectionI. The Executive Committee shall consist of

the officers ofThe General Alumni Board, ihree other members
ofThe General Alumni Board appointed by the president atthe
1inectingfrom among the alumni member^ of The Lr
vcrsity Council, three other members of The General Alnmni
Board appointed by the president with the approval of the
ExecutiTe Committee,and the past presidents of The General
Alomni Boardof thepreceding fire yearswho shall be honorary
vicepresidents servingas counselorswithout vote.
Section11. The committee oo administration shall
havechare? of bylaws;internal administration;bod get,finance,
and records of parentandmember alumni groups; strengthening
University loyaltywithout weakening division loyalty; liaison

Section111. The committee on development shall

in the name of and'all proceeds shall go to The Universityof
Buffalo;establishment and maintenance of a program ofgiving

The Alumni Weekend,and especially
Alumni Family Day had an appeal for
everyone.Alumni from '07 mingled with
the grad of '57. The children romped all
over the place, unable to make up their
minds whether to ride the carousel,the
"Tooncrville" trolley or the "real, live"
ponies. The TUNK area was booming
with scores of customers attempting to
get at least one more glass of the rapidly
disappearing beer.
There were small, intimate gatherings
such as the morning coffee in Michael
Hall, the '47 class cocktail party preceding the dance and the General Alumni
Board Annual Dinner at the BAC. Then
there were the big, noisy affairs such as
the '57 grads descending upon the tents,
the law class of '32 reunion at the BAC,
the Theta Chi Sorority cocktail party at
the Hotel Worth and finally the Alumnae
Dance itself. For everyone's taste, some-

The turnout for the afternoonactivities
was estimated at 500 alumni, husbands,

contributed another 250 for a short time
after graduation rehearsal.

and the "old" grads

thing wasoffered.
But, for more than anyone,it was a day
for the children. The moms and dads
hardly had time to register at the tent
when they were being tugged toward the
rides located along the hedgerow near
Rotary Field. There was ice cream, soft
drinks, hamburgers and hot dogs to satisfy their hunger. The "ole swimmin"

hole had a welcomed revival with the
Clark Gym pool acting as a worthy substitute for over 50 children.
The out-of-town alumni included:

Schedule and Squad Looks Good
Spring football practice proved the
productive of Dick Offenhamer's
three seasons as coach of The University
most

of Buffalo Bulls.
The great improvement was attributed
to the size of the squad, the largest he has
had at U.8., and the players willingest
to learn as they look ahead toward the
most difficult schedule a U.B.
team has encountered in years.

football

Competition for everyposition iskeen.
No longer is there only a 24 man squad
that will guarantee a playing position for
each man. Every spot will be three men
deep and each man will have to fight for
the starting post.
The most significant change on the
team is the shift of big Lou Reale from
fullback to center. This leaves the fullback spot open for 195 pound sophomore
Dave Brogan or Pete Courneen, with
Ralph Folino right on their backs. Reale
expects to get most of his opposition
from dental student Jack Lipinski.
The tackles are really going to have a
time of it. Fran Woidzik, 250 pound
mainstay of last year's eleven is being
challenged for the first time in his career
by three other behemoths. Sophomore
Bernie Fagan, a 225 pounder from Caledonia, has been terrific in his freshman
appearance. Bob Adams,another sophomore weighing in at 215,has been shifted
from end to tackle and he and Jack
Welch at 230 have been fighting bone and
muscle for the right tackle job.

Captain Remo Damiani will have
plenty of competition at guard. Sam
Sanders at 198,Charlie Tyrone at 195,

StanKowalski at 190,Nate Bliss at 200
and Joe O'Grady at 195 will give the
Bulls their greatest depth at the guard
spot in years.
The end positions are wide open with
incumbents Dick Schwertsfager, Nick
Bottini and Jim Gibbons being pressured
heavilyby Carley Keats,a cousin of halfback Jim Keats.
All the backfield positions remain very
much in doubt. Sophomore Willie Evans
will give Junior Ken Born a great fight
for the left halfback job. Jim Keats,last
year'sright half, is back again and looks
good. Jim Grapes, Bob Muscarella and
Skip Hawkins will make the halfback
jobssomething to work for.
Quarterbacking is a definite problem
on next year's squad. It will be a wide
open berth and right now a tossup between Bill McGarva, Dick VanValkenburgh and sophomores Jim Allegretto and

Fred Kogut.
With all the fine material to choose
from, Coach Offenhamer's task is both
pleasant and frustrating. His able lieutenants Karl Kluckhohn and Fred Dun-

lap have been pleased with the spirit
shown by the boys in the spring tuneup.
Ron Laßocque, freshmancoach,looks on
with envy at the fine start the varsity has
had. Ron, as yet without a replacement
for his assistant Buzz Buzzelli,hopes for
a freshmanteam with comparable ability.

�The Further Education of a Professor
Comments on Education in Pakistan and Europe
as Experienced by Dr. Robert Fisk, dean of

the School of Education at the University

In these days one should be prepared for almost anything,
but when asked in and almost "by the way" manner if Fd
be interested in spending five months in Pakistan and Europe
I was completely taken aback. Immediately it seemed there
were innumerable professional and personal reasons which
made such a venture impossible. None-the-less, five weeks
to the day from the original exploratory conversation,Mrs.
Fisk and I were en route to Pakistan,commencing an experience for which we can find no more appropriate term than
fabulous.
The assignment was a fascinating one for any educator.
Dr. Francis S. Chaseof the University of Chicago had been
requested by the Ford Foundation to provide consultants to
the Central and Provincial Ministries of Education of Pakistan for the purpose of assisting Pakistan educators to prepare
for the developplans
or schemes as they are termed
ment of centers for the in-service education of teachers and
for the development of a number of pilot secondary schools
which it is hoped will serve to stimulate secondary education
generally. The American consultants were to spend two and
one-half months in Pakistan attempting to gain an appreciation and some understanding of the educational and cultural
factors relating to the task of improving secondary education
and teach education. Following this we were asked to accompany a team of Pakistan educators on a two-months tour
of nine European countries and a six weeks visit in the United
States observing contemporary developments in both fields
and conferring throughout upon the particular problems to be
faced in Pakistan. In addition to the challenge to be faced
fifth largest
in trying to be of assistance to a new nation
in population in the world
the prospect of studying schools
in Pakistan and throughout Europe represented a total opportunity for which we might be well envied. Certainly it is one
for which each of us who participated will be grateful forever.
For one whose previous travels had been confined to the
United States,with but short sojourns north and south of the
border, the trip was in itself a challenge, without regard to
the educational problems to be faced. The long flight to
Tokyo was made doubly pleasant by the fact that Mrs. Fisk
and I were in the company of Vice-Chancellor and Mrs.
Claude E. Puffer who were en route to the centennial celebration of the University of Calcutta. They continued on to
South East Asia while we paused briefly to visit friends in
Tokyo and at the International Christian University. We

spent three days in Manila inquiring into progressin secondary education in the Philippines and teacher education at
the University of the Philippines. After an over-night stop
in Calcutta, where we exchanged notes with Dr. and Mrs.
Puffer, we continued on to New Delhi where we were the

guests of Mrs. Bhatia and Mrs. Jacobs, two Indian educators
who had been members of the Visiting Educators groupson
our campus two and three yearsago. We dined sumptuously
in the company of members of the Ministry of Education of
India, rinding them extremely enthusiastic about contemporary developments in secondary education in India and com-

menting favorably on the assistance provided and the leadership demonstrated by American educators who had served
in India.

during winter months in order to receive the warmth of the sun.
On January 21 we arrived in Karachi where we were met
by Dr. George Gant, the Ford Foundation representative in
Pakistan, and by Dr. Kenneth Rehage of the University of
Chicago, with whom we were to spend the next several
months. After several days briefing in Karachi, Dr. Rehage,
Mrs. Fisk and I began our tour of secondary schools,teacher
training colleges, and other educational institutions throughout Pakistan traveling as far north as the Khyber Pass and
the principality of Swat, a semi-autonomous state in North

�West Pakistan. In mid-February we flew across the Indian
sub-continent to Dacca in East Pakistan. There we lived in

the same hotel with Dr. and Mrs. Burvil Glenn of The University of Buffalo School of Education. Dr. Glenn spent the
1956-57 academic year as a Fulbright scholar in Pakistan,
directing workshops for secondary school teachers throughout
both provinces. On March 15 we were joinedby Dr. Chase
for a brief tour throughout both provinces. Then on the
morning of April 2 we left Karachi accompanied by three
Pakistan educators. After four days in Turkey we continued

on to Europe where we visited schools and colleges and talked
with educators in Switzerland, West Germany, France,Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Scotland, and England, continuing
on to the United States on June Ist.
One can hardly speak of such an experience in terms of
"findings", when our observations have been as limited in
time and as conditioned by an experience prior to that which
was wholely American. Instead we can speak only of impressions and leave to the reader the necessaryqualifications.
But we surely enjoy giving our impressions!
In common with many of the underdeveloped countries,
Pakistan is making a tremendous effort to extend the range
of educational opportunity to its youth as well as to enrich
the existing programs. At a time when the nation is operating under extremely stringent economic conditions and
controls, this requires that difficult decisions be made as to
the most effective manner in which to spend the resources
available for Education. In Pakistan the decision has been
that every effort should be made to improve the quality of
education presently offered rather than to expand educational opportunity on any large scale. Thus only 50% of
male youth enjoy a significant school experience and less
than 15% of the girls have an equal opportunity.
While one can find in Pakistan schools ranging in quality
from excellent to very poor, it is all too true that the typical
situation is one in which a large number of children are
housed in inadequate facilities and taught by an ill-prepared
teacher with little or nothing available in the form of significant instructional materials, textbooks and the like. One
of the wholesome aspects of our visit was that no one made
any effort to gloss over the inadequacies of the present program. Instead all possible efforts are being made toward
considering and acting upon ways and means by which present inadequacies can be remedied. It is this attitude which
has resulted in a high priority being given to attempts to
improve the quality of secondary education.

A new high school in the tribal regions near the Khyber Pass.

Until independence, secondary education in Pakistan
under British colonial rule had been considered as primarily
for boys preparing for minor governmental positions. Todays
program differs little and can be described as very bookish in
character and highly literary with relatively little emphasis
on the sciences and typically no learning experiences of a
technical character. The curriculum is crowded with three
to five languages including English. The instruction is
typically in English rather than in the national or regional
tongue and is almost entirely of a lecture character. External
examinations largely control the character and aims of instruction and dictate the motivation of students. Since upon
his success in the examinations is determined the whole
future of a pupil, including further educational opportunity
and the security to
or chances for governmentemployment
be gained from this
every effort is bent toward reaching
the
the upper rangeson
matriculation, or terminal, examinations.

A handicraftsdemonstration class in a Pakistan primary school.
The secondary schools have been under the control of the
colleges and universities which traditionally prepared the
matriculation examinations which in turn serve as entrance
examinations to their institutions. Recently it has been seen
that the secondary schools have a general education function
and should provide terminal education for many youth. As a
result the responsibility for syllabi and examinations has been
transferred to Boards of Secondary Education under whose
leadership one can anticipate progresstoward liberalizing the
nature of the secondary education program. However, much
remains to be done in providing facilities and equipment for
broader programs of education and in the development of a
core of highly qualified teachers competent to develop a curriculum consistent with present and future demands of the
Pakistan culture upon its youth.
This observer was surprised to learn of the great dependence of Pakistan upon private secondary schools. Government
or public secondary schools appear to be seen largely as
standards-setting institutions rather than a means for providing a mass educational opportunity. The private schools
are expected to meet certain minimum standards set by the
provincial ministries, and receive small stipends from the
provincial government. However, it is rare that a private
educational institution should receive additional help from
citizens and other private resources. These schools are completely dependent upon the tuitions they receive plus their

�government subsidy. Thus there is a strong temptation to
enroll each and every student who meets minimum qualifications and who has the necessaryfee. At a time when the

populace generally is seeking wider educational opportunity,
diis leads to a tremendous pressure upon these schools and
inevitably to large classes and dependence upon highly formalized teaching procedures.
Despite these dominant characteristics we were continually
impressed by the dedication of the Pakistani to the importance of education for youth. We were disturbed by the
reliance placed in attendance at a school where often we
found little significant learning experiences. Essentially the
learning process is rote memorization of lecture notes and
textbooks with relatively little opportunity provided for
applying information to problem situations. Much of this
has been re-enforcedby the teacher education programswhich
are themselves highly stylized and dependent largely on the
lecture approach. Despite this we were impressed by the
informal discussion procedures in some colleges and by the
importance with which practice teaching was viewed throughout all teacher preparation.
There is much evidence that the leadership in education is
not ignoring the cultural factors which must be affected if
significant progress is to be made in secondary education.
Responsible government leaders are insistent in their demands
for more highly qualified public service employees than the
present secondary schools of high quality. The Ford Foun-

dation and the United States and British Council aid programs are slowly but surely making major contributions to
improve education at all levels. While present conditions are
far from wholesome,the tone and spirit of leadership in education has steadily improved. Thus we can hope for improvement with real assurance it will steadily develop.
As we moved on from Pakistan we were impressed by the
progressmade in Turkey, finding many implications diere for
developments to be encouraged in Pakistan. While our Pakistani friends were more than a little disturbed by the evident
break from many Moslem traditions in Turkey they were
impressed with the rapidity of development of education at
all levels in this most dynamic country, one which appears to
be rushing headlong toward modern civilization.

Turkey furnished a good bridge between Pakistan and what
we were to observe in northern Europe and in the British
Isles. While indeed there are variations from country to
country, among those which we visited diere seem to be certain very definite common trends and much to challenge the
even best practice in the United States. One trend is toward
the expansion of educational opportunity at the secondary
level and a general broadening of the types of programs
available. The so-called comprehensive high school is still
in the experimental stage, but yet can be observed in nearly
every country in one form or another. The children are
strictly grouped according to apparent academic ability
within the school,but a given school may offer classes ranging from very academic curricula through the technical curricula to less demanding general education programs. Of
far more compelling interest to us were the attempts to
determine the competencies of youdi and then to route them
through specialized curricula to a profession, trade, or a
service occupation. While we could challenge the rigidity of
the categorization of students and the reliance upon tests
given at an early age,we were impressed with the steps that
were taken to provide the more able youth with out-standing
intellectual experiences. Standards were high and apparently
expense was of no concern when it came to providing the
best possible educational opportunities for an able youth what
ever his social or economic status.
Of equal interest was the wide use of occupational interest
as a motivation for educational experience and the careful
attempt to put intellectual development and vocational preparation into a combined experience for older adolescents.
Thus a boy or girl might be employed in a task or skill of his
choice, and at the same time continue his general education.
This seemed quite in contrast with our tendency here to
delay jobopportunities for most youths until they have finished
a general educational experience or reached a minimum
school leaving age.
We were also continually impressed with the high status
with which teachers felt they were held by the populance at
large. Typically the schools we visited had provided liberally for teachers' workrooms,recreation facilities, lunch rooms
and the like. One gained a distinct impression diat the
teacher was a personality who was appreciated in the school
environment and the community and that his status was indeed significant. This seemed to be reflectedin the quality of
the people who were serving as teachers. While we may have
been led to the more able people we certainly found few

Dear Alumnus:
We would like to go on record as saying;
"MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING 11 (BUT IT'S WAY AHEAD OF

WHATEVER IS IN SECOND PLACE)

Certainly it isn't a measure of college loyalty.

Most

of our alumni feel that no amount of money will repay the Univer-

sity of Buffalo for what they received here.
But the facts are that tuitions pay only about

50%

of the

cost of a university education--it is the generosity of others that
makes up the difference-- others who were interested in your

Therein lies the

Of this total, approximately 34% is expected to come from special gifts;

There is a certain irony lying within these statistics, for though alumni
are responsible for only 7% of the objective, it is much more important than
the others. Why So? Because one of the first questions asked by foundation
executives and industrialists is, "Are your alumni behind you?". A negative
answer will in all likelihood result in a turndown. This fact helps justify our
devoting the great majority of hours to alumni giving. It makes YOU the Uin

President Eisenhower Wires Congratulations

On a beautiful, sunny day of September 30, the new Tower residence
hall was dedicated by GovernorAverell
Harriman. The governor presented his
greetings personally in an address to
students, faculty, alumni and guests
gathered on campus in front of the
new building.
President Eisenhower's best wishes
came in a telegram to Chairman Seymour H. Knox of the University Council. The President's telegram called
the new Tower Residence "a splendid
sign of strength and continuing progress
of your community."
"The vitality of our schools and institutions of higher learning," he wired,
"is essential to the future well-being of
the Niagara Frontier and our whole

country."
The governor stated that the University is setting an important example for
other private institutions throughout the
state in improving and expanding its
facilities. "Too many of our private
institutions," he said, "do not feel that
they can or should expand to any appreciable extent. I hope your initiative
will stimulate others to follow your ex-

an international affair with a golf stag
and dinner on Friday, October 11, at

golf scores and 75 enjoyed dinner, even
though they had to listen to some incredible stories of the day's play. Chancellor Furnas welcomed the alumni and
Chuck Burr, director of sports publicity,
was master of ceremonies.
The basic attendance for golf and
dinner was derived from the campaign
workshop held earlier in the day on
campus. Campaign workers from the
local area and from all parts of the
country gathered together to learn the
necessarymechanics of carrying out the
alumni phase of the capital gifts campaign.

Attendance for the entire weekend

was highlighted by the many out-of

down to defeat, 13-6. The game was
highlighted by the outstanding performance of Jim Allegretto, a sophomore quarterback, playing his first game.
Jim won over the fans with his fine
field generalship and his coolness in a
very close ball game.
The Faculty Club was overrun by
500 or more alumni immediately after
the game. The alumni stormed the area
to take part in the TUNK festivities.
The Bisonhead Honor Society were
TUXK hosts and were by far the most
colorful and ingenious group to sponsor

anything that day.
By 8:00 in the evening, 250 dinner
guests had arrived at The Buffalo Athletic Club and were heartily greeting
old classmates and friends. Owen B.
Augspurger, LLB'37, president of The

Alumni Board, introduced
Chancellor Fumas and Coach Dick
Offenhamer. who were called on to say
a few words to alumni
General

For the first time and before a throng
of over 400 alumni and friends, an
alumni king and queen were chosen at
the dance. This honor was bestowed
upon Homecoming Chairman "Prince"
Charles Percival, BS(Bus)'43, and his
wife "Queen"
Elizabeth (Libby) RumseyPercival, Bus'4B. The Percivals will
reign as king and queen of alumni until

year's Homecoming celebration.
So amid a number of "firsts" and
the fading music of Tommy Rizzo.
BA'4Bj and his orchestra,Homecoming
1957 bid its fond adieu. Each year
Homecoming seems to get bigger and
better. We hope you will return next
year to make Homecoming 1958 a little
bigger and a little better.
The success of Homecoming is due
to the work and enthusiasm manifested
by Chuck Percival and his Homecoming Committee. The committee included:

The Further Education
whose competence we could criticize even though we might
challenge their philosophies. We were impressed also with
the deliberate attempt to maintain education as an individual
experience by keeping down the size of schools. A school of
six or seven hundred was considered very large. Seldom did
we see one with more than 1,000pupils. While education is
considered to be something which must be available to the
masses, mass education does not seem to have become the
order of the day.
Despite the challenge of what we saw in Europe to those
of us from the United States, our friends from Pakistan
criticized us for being unduly modest about what we have
in this country. They were sufficiently sophisticated to look
beyond buildings and facilities and instead to consider the
educational program and the quality of the teacher personnel.
As they left this country they said that while we had all seen
many fine things in Europe their mission would have been a
failure were it not for the schools they visited here. The
variety of educational programs, the potential for each community to develop a program relatively unique, the freedom
which American school people felt and with which they exhibited their plans for improvement, the excellence of our
textbooks, library, and science materials left their mark upon
the Pakistani as proof of the vitality of our public schools.

This has indeed been a rambling account. Certainly this
professor and his wife would be happy to ramble on for many
hours about various aspects of a rather phenomenal journey.
We find it hard to talk simply and briefly about the experiences because they have been so variedand so unique as contrasted with our prior experience. Certainly we are much
reassured about the ease with which one can travel about the
world and impressed by the very evident fact that throughout
the world people are striving onward and upward. We are
equally impressed with the certainty that we Americans can
learn from the experience of other cultures. By no means
should we assume that our educational program is unique in
its excellence. Many countries with less material goods are
none the less challenging the best which we have to offer
youngpeople.
Perhaps a final comment on the further education of a
professor might well be that if this is a sample of what one
may gain through a life of travel it was indeed an enticing
one which has but whetted our appetite for more experience
of this nature. After all, we have yet to see New Zealand,

Australia, Africa, and South and Central America, to say
nothing of the greater part of Asia and Eastern Europe.
Thus we feel that we have much to look forward to as we
anticipate further education of this nature.

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

Dr. Raymond Ewell spent 23 days in Russia prior to assuming
his duties at the University as vice chancellor for research.
His journey through Russia has been drawn on the wall map.
The Russian letters on the top of the map, translated, are: Soyuz
Sovietskykh Sozialisticheskykh Respublik—Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics.

Dr. Ewell gives his impressions of Russia and Russian education
in an article beginning on page 2.

�Stockton
Kimball, M. D. '29
1903 -1958

Dr. Stockton Kimball was a 1929
graduate of The University of Buffalo

School of Medicine. He had been dean
of the Medical School since 1946. Under
Dr. Kimball's leadership, the Medical
School has steadily increased in stature,
achieving an international reputation
for research, teaching and service.
To typify the feeling of the community and his colleagues toward Dr.
Kimball, we have taken an editorial
from the Buffalo Evening News and a
eulogy by Dr. Marvin Bloom, MD'43,
a close friend of Dr. Kimball's and an
associate of his in the Medical School.

Medical education both here and nasuffered a severe loss in the
sudden passing of Dr. Stockton Kimdean of The Univer1946,
ball, since
tionally has

sity of Buffalo Medical School.
Dr. Kimball's contributions

to

the

training of new doctors in this community spanned more than a quarter of a
century of skilled and dedicated service.
Under his brilliant leadership as dean,
the Medical School attained new heights
of service and renown as a center of
both education and research.
While the school remained his primary interest, Dr. Kimball gave liberally of his talent and energies to every
worthy cause benefiting community
health. Nationally, too, his counsel
figured prominently in a wide array of
medical organizations and undertakings.

Bulletin

Through it all, Dr. Kimball remained

physician in his own right, gaining particular recognition as a specialist
in malaria and other tropical diseases.
'That this kindly, unassuming, cultured man was but 55 at his death only
deepens the sense of loss over his passing. To him is owed a great and lasting

a fine

community debt.

Buffalo Evening News
When no one else could be bothered,
no problem was too small or too personal for Stockton Kimball. He would
hear it out and would try to help the
medical student with the personal problem, the family problem, the academic
problem. Whatever the time or circumstances, a good cause could always
count on his support.
He liked frank and honest comment
no matter how contrary to his views.
The perpetration of a grudge was foreign to a nature that epitomized real
kindness.
One of his greatest gifts was a genuine and humble sensitivity and sensibility to real accomplishment: Scientific, artistic, musical. We recall his
feeling for chamber music. Who does
not remember his bustling attentiveness
to the arrangement for the Medical
School concerts of the Budapest Quartet? He would adjust the ventilation
and lighting and see to the personal
comfort of the musicians himself. Every-

one else would sit in the seat and wait
for someone or anyone to do the job.
This attention to details was carried
over to his job. As Dean, he ennobled
the job. Those who knew him well in
the past tell us of his tremendous personal growth and accomplishment as he
guided the school and the deanship to
their present dimensions. The challenge
of the future absorbed and fascinated
him. He was never one to ruminate
about the past. He had the perspective
of the whole spectrum of medical education and medical science. Within the
hour he could bring to bear his insight
into the preclinical problems, a broad
University perspective, clinical academic
progress. Almost simultaneously he could
answer the phone and talk with a friend
who was ill. There was no detail of
activity which escaped his attention
the community social agency, the national activity in medical education, the
medical fraternities, the local symphony,
and other musical things, inter-hospital
relationships, the medical profession at
large, the problems of the Park School,
the blueprints of the new building, the
illness of a friend or faculty member.
His empathy was astonishing, more
than any one Ihave known. This is one
of the clues to his achievement as a person. He was incapable of saying no to
anything or anyone. In consequence he
tried to do far too much for his own
good.

23 Days in Russia
by
Ewell
Raymond
Dr.
Vice

Chancellor For Research

A trip to Soviet Russia is a real eyeopener for any American. Recently, I
spent 23 days in Russia. I made many
significant observations of Soviet cities,
Soviet industry, transportation, distribution of consumer goods, national economics, the nature of the Russian
people and other aspects of Soviet life.
But the most startling observations I
made were in the field of education.
Russia is using education as an instrument of national policy far beyond any
other nation in history.
Education is being pushed on a massive scale in Russia with great emphasis
being placed on quality, as well as on
quantity. This educational drive is being
purposefully directed toward the objectives of the state in the military field, in
economic development and in health
areas. It seems almost certain that Russia is devoting a much larger proportion of the national income (or of the
national effort) to education than any
other country in the world.
HIGHER EDUCATION

In front of Lwow Stale University is:
1. to r. Mr. Lutchenko, Pro-Rector for
Business Affairs, Dr. Yurzhenko, ProRector for Research, Dr. Raymond Ewell.

Higher education in Russia has several significant aspects:
(1) Great emphasis on engineering,
sciences and foreign languages. (2) A
high degree of selection of university
students through rigorous competitive
examinations. (3) Eighty to ninety percent of the university students receive
stipends which support them fully in
the university.

All three of these aspects represent

important differences from educational
policy in the United States and all three
are important sources of strength in the
Soviet

educational

system.

At least

they are sources of strength from the
standpoint of the military and economic
objectives of the Soviet government.
Let us examine these aspects a little
more closely.
There are about 800 institutions of
higher education in the Soviet Union,

with total enrollment in 1957 of about
2,000,000 students. Out of these 800
institutions, 33 are universities, while
the 767 remaining are institutes of technology, medicine, agriculture, pedagogy
and foreign languages. These are definitely of university level, comparable to
M.1.T., Cal Tech, Carnegie Tech, etc.,
and should not be confused with twoyear technicums or trade schools. It
should also be noted that these are all

primarily teaching institutes and

not to

be confused with the hundreds of research institutes in the Soviet Union.
COMPETITION
Out of 2,000,00 students, 1,800,000
are enrolled in the 767 institutes of

technology, medicine, agriculture, pedagogy and foreign languages, compared
with only 200,000 in the universities.

The government allocates annually the
number of freshmen to be accepted by
the universities and the number in each
course. This is done on the basis of the
number of scientists, engineers, teachers,

years hence.
In 1957, 428,000 "spaces" were allocated and there were over 2,000,000 applications. The government is very
selective. Entrance exams last more
than a month and only top-grade stu-

dents are accepted.
Of the 428,000 "spaces" last year 7
per cent went to the universities, 40 per
cent to the institutes of technology and
53 per cent to the institutes of medicine,
agriculture, pedagogy and foreign languages.
The student has a freedom of choice
in his selection of major study but the
openings are limited in each field, particularly in the humanities. The Ministry of Higher Education in connection
with the Central Planning Commission

decides each year how many freshmen
will be assigned to various openings.
Students who fail to qualify can take
the exams the following year. Many go
to the 2 year technicums (trade schools),
directly into industry or into the army.
The Russian educational system from
elementary school through the university still falls short of ours in quantity,
but they are putting great emphasis on
quality—rigorous selection of students,
high scholastic standards, plenty of welltrained, well-paid teachers.
The 2,000,000 university and institute students in Russia probably exceed
in intellectual capacity and creative potential the 3,000,000 university and college students in the United States. If
this is a correct conclusion, it is of course
due to the rigorous selection of students
in higher education in Russia.

The United States still far exceeds
Russia in basic research and industrial
research, and probably also in most areas
of military research. However, the Russians are moving up fast in all areas of
research and could possibly surpass us
in another decade or so.
PAID TO ATTEND
to ninety per cent of the students who qualify receive stipends of
300 rubles per month (S3O) in, the first
year, increasing gradually to 600 rubles
per month in the sth year. This $30
is equal to about $100 in the United
States. Those in the upper 10 per cent
of their class get a 25 per cent bonus on
the standard stipend. Graduate students
get stipends of 800 to 1200 rubles.
The 10 to 20 per cent of students who
do not get aid are students whose fathers

Bulletin

The educational drive in Russia may be illustrated by the fact that Russia is the
only country in the world where the largest and most expensive building is a
university. The Science campus of Moscow University was completed in 1953
at a cost of $300,000,000. The central building of this campus is a 32 story
skyscraper, the largest and costliest building in Russia. Moscow University
was founded in 1755 by Lomonosov, whose statue stands before the University.

�women enrolled than there are in United
States colleges.
In Kharkov Polytechnic Institute,
which is all engineering, 37 per cent are
women. In the institutes of medicine,
90 per cent of the students are women.
About 50 per cent of the university
students are in science and the other
half are in the humanities. Humanities
includes law and journalism as well as
the more usual humanity disciplines.
The ratio of faculty to students appears
to be about 1 to 10.

earn more than 5000 rubles per month
or whose grades drop below a given
level.
AH higher educational curricula in
Russia are five years. Students graduate
from high school at 17-18 years of age
and from the university or institute at
22-23 years. A "kandidat" degree (close
to our PhD degree) takes three more
years. A candidate for this degree is
called an "aspirant".
Since attrition is small during the 5
years (about 10 per cent) the graduating class each year is 15-18 per cent
of the total enrollment. The students
work very hard. They know their entire
future depends on making a good showing in the university. If they make the
grade they will be in the intellectual
upper-crust at a high salary for the rest
of their lives. If they fail they will never
have another chance.

On graduation the student has some
choice in a job. The best students do
graduate work. Other students are
offered three jobs, of which he must
choose one and stay on it for 3 years.
He is then eligible to change jobs.
Scientists and engineers are the highest
paid. Engineers start at about $100 a
month (compared to $400 in the United
States). New Kandidats (PhD) start
at $200 per month.
FACULTIES

A university is divided into 5 to 15
faculties, comparable to schools or colleges in American universities. Each
faculty is divided into 2 to 10 kafedras
or divisions. For example, the faculty
of chemistry may have kafedras of general chemistry, analytical chemistry, or-

ganic chemistry, physical chemistry,
electrochemistry, petroleum chemistry,
colloid chemistry, spectrochemistry, etc.

The head of a faculty is of course a
very important man, as is the head of a
kafedra. Each kafedra has its own office
and a staff of clerks and stenographers.

The head of a university is a rector
and there are one or more pro-rectors;
for example, at Lwow University there
are pro-rectors for education, research,
business affairs and correspondence
courses.
At Lwow University there are faculties in chemistry, physics, mathematics,

biology, geology, geography, history,
philology, foreign languages, journalism
and law. At Kiev University the faculties are the same, with the addition of
radio-physics and economics.
IMPRESSIONS

In 23 days I visited 10 educational
institutions, 8 research institutions and
9 factories. This experience in addition
to information I gathered from reading
and from speaking to my colleagues
who have visited the Soviet Union has
enabled me to form vivid impressions
and some general conclusions.
Russia is a more formidable adversary
than most Americans realize. It is a big,
powerful, well-managed nation—here to
stay for the forseeable future.

One important reason Russia is a
formidable adversary is the character
of the Russian people themselves. They
are vigorous, dynamic, intelligent, selfconfident, well-disciplined people who
would clearly give a very good account
of themselves in any conflict.

ENROLLMENT

In all institutions of higher education
there are about 50 per cent men and 50
per cent women. Men predominate in
the institutes of technology and agriculture, women predominate in the institutes of medicine, pedagogy and foreign
languages, and they are about even in
the universities. However, in technology
and agriculture there are many more

�Russia is a country in a hurry. They
are moving up fast in the world. Most
Russians are well aware of this fact and
quite proud of it, too. Everyone works
hard in Russia whether he (or she) is a
research scientist, a factory worker, a
train attendant, a waitress or a hat
check girl (and no tips). People walk
fast, move fast, work fast.

Russia is a country with few frills or
luxuries, but the people are adequately

This policy enables the planners to direct more of the national product into
capital investment, military development and education.

science and technology for all they are
worth in their obvious bid for military
and economic supremecy. The promotion of education, particularly in science
and technology, has been a cornerstone
of Soviet policy for over 30 years. The
Russian educational buildup is just now
developing strong momentum, and the
results will probably be more and more
apparent during the next decade.

It is very difficult for the United
to make calculations on the effect
of one program or another in getting us
or keeping us ahead of the Russians.
Russia is moving so fast that U. S.
policy must always be dynamic in order
to have any assurance we will stay
ahead or get ahead of the Russians. This
is a fluid, dynamic situation and only
fluid, dynamic thinking will enable us
to keep a balance of power with Russia.

States

The present government in Russia
seems to be quite stable and unlikely to
be dislodged in the forseeable future.
Economically, Russia is the best off they
have ever been in history. Therefore,
the people are reasonably contented
with their lot and do not complain. Russians simply do not comprehend individual freedom as we understand it,
and therefore, place little value on freedom, at least on our concept of freedom.
In meeting the basic needs of the
people for food, clothing and shelter,
Russia today is about where the United
States was in 1900-1910. In transportation and medical services they are relatively farther ahead, possibly about
where we were in 1930-35.
Russian thinking is influenced by the
fact that they live in a big country with
vast distances and limitless natural resources. This causes them to think "big"
like Americans, rather than thinking
"small" like people in most small countries.

Everyone is looking to the future—s,

"Forward thinking" of this magnitude

�Preparation for a career
Preparation for a richer life
Preparation for further education

A Degree
in

Two Years
The University of Buffalo is concerned
with providing the opportunity of learning to all qualified members of the community.

It is in keeping with this goal of the
University that the Division of General
and Technical Studies has set for itself
the following specific objectives: to provide for students whose interests, goals
and abilities indicate two years of higher
education rather than the traditional
four years of college; to assist students
toward competency in semi-professional
occupations; to help students toward
personal and social development; and to
provide students with facilities for exploration, guidance, and achievement.
The complexities of today's society
require an increase in man's total knowledge in order adequately to understand
and appreciate our culture as well as to
prepare for vocational pursuits. One
result is an increased demand for programs of higher education from students
who find that traditional four-year curriculums do not fit their wants and abilities and from students who, for financial
8

and personal reasons, find those traditional curriculums unacceptable. To
provide for these students, it is necessary
to organize shorter programs of study
with the granting of appropriate degrees
for their successful completion. Such
degrees not only give the students a
realization of accomplishment, but also
provide the public with a standard of
recognition of the programs and of students who complete them. Accordingly,
students successfully completing the programs are awarded the degree of Associate in Arts (A.A.) or Associate in Ap-

plied Science (A.A.S.).

A number of vocations have developed
which require more than a high school
preparation, but less than the usual four
years of college. Employers, too, are
seeking a higher amount of educational
attainment of prospective employees.
Courses offered to meet these demands
need to be available not only to those
seeking a degree program, but also to
those seeking further education towards
vocational proficiency and personal development through completion of only
part of such a program.
Alumni

�Dr. Milton Plesur directs a course in community affairs offered to help students
recognize problems which they as future voters may be called on to help solve.

Personal and social development involves preparation for citizenship, locally
and nationally, understanding of self,
family, and people generally, understanding of political-economic and global
problems, appreciation of arts and sciences, and learning to express oneself and
to appreciate the expression of others.
The Division endeavors to effect this
objective by making available to students in its vocationally-oriented programs general education courses in liberal arts and sciences and by offering a
two-year curriculum leading to the Associate in Arts degree in which the required courses are predominantly general studies. General education, as provided in these courses, involves considering together the interrelated areas
of knowledge which bear on a topic
rather than considering it in a number
of individual courses, each from the
point of view of a different subject area
field. General education usually places
more weight upon the exploration, appraisal and successful application of the
outcomes of learning to problems in our
society than upon the informative value
of mastering established conclusions in
some field of knowledge. This approach
is particularly well suited to programs of
limited duration, less than four years,
since the opportunities for specialization
are necessarily at a minimum.
Among students seeking higher education, there are those who have a
specific desire for programs offering
facilities for exploration and guidance
which allow for experimentation, which
give them the opportunity to see interrelationships of knowledge, and enable
Bulletin

them to determine their interests and
abilities. In addition to others, these
students include those who have not
been able to make a decision regarding
their educational future as well as those
whose high school records are not consistent with their ability and potential,
but for whom there is some indication
of the worthwhileness of a higher education. Careful counseling assists materially in providing the necessary guidance
for these students. Although the primary
objective of the Division is to provide
for students seeking terminal education
within its programs, it is recognized that
there exists a social responsibility to assist in enabling students to obtain the
highest degree of education consonant
with their interests and abilities. For
most of these this still means a terminal
program, but for others, the exploration
and self-development which they realize
may mean still further education in a
four-year program.
COMMUNITY INTEREST
The discerned needs of the community and the citizens of the community,
led to the establishment of the Division
of General and Technical Studies. In
the catalog of the Division the following
is stated: "The programs of the Division of General and Technical Studies
have been established to meet the needs
of students, business and industry. The
Division would be pleased to consider
the suggestions of business and industry
for the initiation of new programs or
courses, either for day or evening instruction."

Our principal constituencies are high
school graduates interested in semi-professional employment, high school graduates interested in further education for
their own self-development, and businesses and industries needing semi-professional employees. The Niagara Frontier and Western New York are the
areas of our primary concern. Thekinds
of business and industry included in our
constituency are indicated by the titles
of the programs offered in keeping with
our objectives.
The Western New York area is primarily business and industrial in character. Many of the high school graduates find their careers in technical work.
However, since many of these students
desire more than technical skill, other
existing facilities are not adequate for
them. Further, the businesses and industries in the area desire more in the
people they employ than technical skill.
Thus the two year program in day and
evening classes, serves the constituency
in a double capacity; on the one hand,
it satisfies the demand of students for
combined technical and general programs and, on the other hand, it satisfies the demand of business and industry
for people trained in technical skills and
yet who have a broad outlook on fife.

THE PROGRAMS
The two technical programs, Tool
and Die Design and Structural Technology are designed to provide a sufficient foundation of basic science as

�applied to engineering methods and
techniques to prepare graduates to enter
either the construction industry or an
industry dealing with materials and machinery. Specifically, these programs
lead students to such fields of endeavor
as engineering drafting, tool and die
designing, surveying, and assisting engineers. The first two of these occupations are on the list of critical occupations, while the latter two are on the
list of occupations in short supply over
most of the nation, as issued by the
United States Department of Labor.
Leading retailers in the community
have publicly attested to the need for
more people trained in their field, and
the industry has continued to employ
our graduates of the retailing program.
Business opportunities in sales, store
operation, and related fields have been
an important factor in leading students
to register for the Business Methods program, which generally has the largest
enrollment of all the offerings of the
Division. The interest in the program
is inductive evidence that it is serving a
need of the students, and their subsequent job placement is evidence that it
is serving a need of employers.
The modern secretary is a highly
trained specialist. In addition to the
usual secretarial skills, today's secretary
must possess a rich background in social
studies and human relations, business
law, finance, banking, statistical procedures, and report writing. There is a
constant demand from the professions,

business and government for secretaries
who have acquired the additional background best provided through Univer-

sity training.

The demand for graduates of our
Secretarial and Office Methods program
far exceeds the number who graduate,
and some of the graduates have attained
very responsible secretarial positions in
a relatively short time. The University's
Placement Director states that he is
speaking conservatively when he says
that the demand is six times the available students.
The field of Real Estate and Insurance has been of steadily increasing importance since World War 11. The need
for more personnel has grown correspondingly. Recent legislation regarding
Real Estate and Insurance licensing has
necessitated that those desiring to be
employed in these fields receive adequate
training.

Careers are available in such areas as
estate brokerage and selling; inwhere the knowledge of pracdustry

A knowledge and understanding of
transportation is of greater importance
to business today than ever before. Every
business, no matter how small, must
constantly use some form of transport
either in buying or selling, or both, and
the form of transportation employed
depends upon the needs of the individual company. It is quite important
to the success of business enterprise in
a competitive economy to be aware of
the changing level of transportation
charges, which has changed rate relationships among the carriers, and to be
aware of the technological advances
which make available new modes of
transportation (or existing modes of
transportation at considerably less cost).

Positions which could be filled by
graduates would include: billing clerk,
expediter, dispatcher, rate assistant, and
reservation clerk. After experience is
gained, graduates could become traffic
managersor directors of industrial transportation, terminal managers, rate analysts, salesmen, freight agents, or general freight agents with carriers.
Opportunities exist too, for those
skilled in advertising layout, in lettering,
in display and fashion work. The Commercial Design program orients the student toward these and other similar
areas.

�Development Newslet er
This special supplement has. been prepared by the office of University Development to acquaint Alumni
with interesting sidelights concerning the growth of the University. Additional supplements will follow.

Dear Alumnus:

There is more—much more to a development campaign than
raising money.

Of primary importance is the organization of a hard core of
dedicated alumni who are willing to devote a great deal of their
free time to the campaign. The University of Buffalo is extremely fortunate that in nearly every case, alumni asked to
handle important responsibilities in the campaign have willingly

agreed.

Non-alumni also play a major role in determining the success of
a campaign. The University is proud that its Program of Progress has captured the imagination of many prominent citizens
who, though graduates of other institutions, have contributed
tirelessly of their time to the drive.

Finally, the foreseeing of future needs of the University, the
setting up of campaign objectives, the pulling together of various
groups into a coordinated team, and the myriad of paperwork
necessary is the responsibility of the University.

A tremendous amount of time has been spent by many individuals to make this campaign a success. The following pages
depict pictorially the highlights of the organization of this major
and complicated undertaking.

New York Metropolitan
Perhaps the "most loyal alumni"
award for this year should go to the
New York City Metropolitan Alumni
Club. Despite icy roads and the worst
weather of the year, one hundred loyal,
enthusiastic alumni met at the Columbia University Club on February 15.
The lure for this attendance was the
presence of Chancellor and Mrs. Clifford C. Furnas, and the showing of the
film "Frontier U".
Dr. Furnas spoke on the international
aspect of education today. Mrs. Furnas
expressed pleasure in meeting the New
York City alumni again and extended
an invitation to all to visit the campus.
Dr. Richard H. Heindel, vice chancellor for development and planning,
reported on the progress of the campaign
and stressed the importance of alumni

participation.

Dick Offenhamer, head football coach,

explained the position of football at the
University in keeping with the general
University growth.

San Francisco
The San Francisco Alumni Club met

lasted until the next morning. In spite
of that, 33 of the anticipated 38 reservations arrived and the meeting was reported to have been a wonderful success, due in most part to the charming
hosts, Ann and Jason Farber.
The meeting was opened by Orlo C.
Paciulli, MD '24, club president, who

cards and reported a pleasant response

to personally canvass alumni in their
areas.

on facts about the University. Prizes
were awarded to the three highest
scores, Thomas Grayson, MD '43, Dr.

�Convocation Dinners - January 8

The area clubs were brought closer to
Buffalo by telephone hook-ups, enabling
the areas to hear and take part in the
Buffalo program.
Probably the biggest hit of the evening was the showing of "Frontier U",

University and its close association with
the Niagara Frontier.
The six meetings attracted a total of

�New roads plus the installation of toll

at parking lot entrances have
changed the traffic-pattern of the campus
during the past year.
The construction of additional parking areas made it necessary to alter the
roadways to make parking areas more
accessible and allow traffic to flow more
smoothly.
gates

The students enter their gates free
but have to pay ten cents to activate
the gate when they leave.
Faculty and staff have a key to activate the gate upon entering and then
have a "free" exit.
Dr. Claude E. Puffer, vice chancellor
for business affairs, said that the University was forced into the parking gate
action because the number of student
cars has been increasing more rapidly
than the University can afford to build
parking lots.
Space to hold 3,000 cars has been
constructed but has not solved the problem. The other alternative is to charge
the students a nominal parking fee, thus
encouraging to some extent the formation of car pools or the use of public

transportation.
The revenue from the gates will be
used to provide still better parking facilities in future years.

This new map of the University shows the recent changes in the campus roadways.
There are now two entrances from Bailey and two entrances from Winspear. Thenew
road behind Clark Gym (20), extending from the loop to the power house (22), makes
it possible to drive completely around campus without leaving the campus proper.

Operation Face-Lift
New Roads and Toll Gates Affect Traffic and Tempers

The car's weight passing over the treadles raises the gate. The
bar closes immediately, allowing one car at a time to pass through.

Out of Change? Well the case is not hopeless.
Coin changing machines are in most buildings.

�A Degree in Two Years (cont'd from pg. 8)
Although the Associate in Arts program has no vocational objective, industry, business, governmental and other
public service agencies have publicly announced on many occasions its need for
employees with a broad educational
background. This curriculum is part of
the general movement in the nation for
an extension of education beyond high
school
leading to more alert citizenship and enriched living. Careers for
graduates with a degree of Associate in
Arts do not fall into specialized areas.
However, opportunities are available in

—

the field of sales, personnel work and
public relations, social work, and many
areas of civil service employment on
federal and state levels.
In the University's evening program,
the Millard Fillmore College, it is possible to take work leading to the Associate in Arts degree, and to the Associate
in Applied Science degree in business
methods, retailing, real estate, secretarial and office methods, and traffic and
transportation. In addition, the Millard
Fillmore College offers engineering programs in technology, with majors in the
industrial, electrical, design and analysis,
and heat power fields.
DIFFERENT DISTINCTIVE
The Division of General and TechniStudies
differs from the other thircal
teen divisions of this University by its
offering of two-year degree curriculums
of general education courses, and of
courses designed to assist towards competency in semi-professional occupations.

—

In the main, the differences which
exist between Buffalo's two-year degree
program and some of the other two-year
degree institutions are related to our
offering of general education courses
and our stimulation of some of our students to continue their education in a
four-year program.
In carrying out its objectives, the
Division is differentiated from other institutions of a similar kind which are not
affiliated with a University. The Division is able to draw upon the other
schools of the University for specific
and specialized courses. Therefore, it is
able to offer a wider selection of technical skills general studies and career
courses than if it had to rely on its own
full-time faculty. Not only are the staff
and program flexible, but the use of
technical equipment and laboratories of
other divisions enhances the degree to
which the objective of preparation for
a career is being met. Due to the fact
that many of the faculty are drawn
from schools in which Divisional students who transfer continue their education, the adjustment to such transfer
is facilitated.
The courses developedby the Division
in the field of general education are
distinctive, individually and collectively,
in providing an excellent opportunity
for the personal and social development
of the students. These courses are designed to meet the needs of the students
in fields other than those strictly voca-

Design

students.

tional. The areas of study include citizenship (local, national and global)
personal and social living, communication in thought and practice, science
and mathematics, and the arts. The
opportunity is available, for students
desiring to do so, to obtain a limited
degree of concentration within the twoyear period by electing additional
courses in fields of interest. Courses
offered by other divisions are available
to Divisional students as electives.
The programs leading to the A.A.S.
degree include other fields of knowledge
in addition to applied study. These include the social sciences, science and
mathematics, and the humanities. Even
if such a distribution were not mandated
by the Board of Regents of the State of
New York, the Division would continue
to require it.
Other distinctive features of the twoyear program include an orientation
program conducted for all new day students and connected with the written
communication course; two full-time
counselors for students, and a form of
student government which is quite distinctive, being characterized by a wide
and active student participation.

Thus, the University, through this
Division provides two-year programs of
education for students having three specific interests—preparation for a career,
preparation for a richer life, preparation
for further education.

Commercial Design courses equip students desiring to become proficient in advertising layout, lettering, display and fashion art work.

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

THE UNIVERSITY
OF
BUFFALO

HONOR ROLL ISSUE 1958

�DOUBLE
DOLLARS
for

Alumni
Loyalty
Fund
For the support of Education many companies have programs that
enable U.B. Alumni in their employ to make their contributions
doubly effective by means of a MATCHING GIFT ARRANGEMENT.

In this time of inflation, getting twice as much for your dollar is a pretty
hard struggle.
That's why the Concept of the Corporate Alumnus is so effective.
At a meeting of the American Alumni Council in 1955, members established the fact that the individual alumnus is responsible for deciding the ultimate benefits of his education to himself as well as to his organization and
therefore he should decide what share of support for his college and university
they should both bear.
This concept was based on the idea that in our economy, the costs of education should, desirably, be paid by the individual who receives the benefits
from it. Of course, all of us know that the individual alumnus, in actuality,
bears a very little part of the total costs of his education.
Companies have realized that they have shared in the wealth of education
by receiving the benefits of the alumnus who has a degree. Thus, they have become more and more willing to lend their support to institutions of higher
learning.
Since the program began three years ago, acceptance has been so widespread that numerous businesses and industries throughout the country have
instituted the matching gifts program.
Besides doubling the gifts of employee-alumni and bringing new money
from business and industry, the program has resulted in a larger percentage of
employee-alumni supporting their alma mater.
Colleges and universities, including The University of Buffalo need these
monies for research, competent teaching and new plans for instruction. The
American businessman has seen his responsibility and is waiting for his employees to see theirs. Why not let your dollar make another by giving through
the matching gift program!

These companies match

many ways, the highest honor being that of the Chancellor's Medal.
We are privileged to feature Dr. Pratt on the cover of the
"Alumni Bulletin" and wish him good fortune and happiness in
the future.

�TOWBEICHTONAMSR

A few weeks ago, I sat next to Coach Serfustini on the players' bench in Clark
Gym watching our hoopsters strain every nerve in a thrilling battle against the
Niagara University five. And a few months before that, I watched Dick Offenhamer's Bulls finish a winning season on the bleak, snowy Temple University
gridiron in Philadelphia. I mention these sports events because all of us remember
glamorous athletic contests as high points in our undergraduate years. Old grads
at reunions always recall "the year we beat Lehigh" or "that tussle with State." I
myself remember running a few races for my Alma Mater "way back when."

all sport. I can hear some ofyou grumbling inwardly
in recollection of academic pain in battles with professors while obtaining your sheepskins.
I need

not

tell you former students that college life is

not

Well, we, of the faculty, are glad that you remember the price in pain you paid for those diplomas. That degree you hold means a lot more because of its cost in sweat, tears and midnight oil.
"And don't forget," I hear you saying, "college costs a lot of dough, too!"
I agree. We shall waste no time crying over the high cost of college. We have some very tough financial
problems, and we are doing our best to lick them. The key is not just "know how" but "know whom." We
are learning to know whom we can count on when we need help.
This issue of the Alumni Bulletin is dedicated TO WHOM IT HAS BEEN THE CONCERN that the cause of
higher education should not suffer for lack of adequate support. All of us students, faculty and citizens of the
community are deeply grateful to those of you who have made fine contributions to The University of Buffalo.
And, regardless of the size of financial aid, we appreciate the fact that for your whole life, the whole life of the
University is a matter of great concern.

�A MESSAGE
From the General Chairman

of the Fund

Committee:

To the Alumni:
It is with a great deal of pride that I share with you the 1957 record of more
Donors and Contributions than ever before.
Recent scientific headlines have brought about national re-appraisement of
American educational values, opportunitiesand needs. With this national evaluation,
more and more Alumni have joined in a united reawakenment effort to expand our
own Niagara Frontier and

to meet

the day to day challenge to the University.

This year let's make the Loyalty Fund still stronger by increasing the number
of Donors, so that more Leadership Awards can be made to deserving students.
Yours for more Donors in '58.

�Tuition Increase Begins in Fall
The rising cost of higher education
has forced an increase in tuition at the
University beginning next September.
The announcementwas made by Chancellor Clifford C. Furnas in more than

11,000 letters mailed to students and
their parents.
Freshmen and sophmores entering in
the fall will pay $40 more per semester,
an increase from $350 to $390 per

utility and prestige of the University",

he said.
It was stated the increase in tuition
will not permit an across-the-board
faculty pay increase but will give more
leeway for merit increases.
The increase was approved by the
General Administration Committee of
the University Council on March 8.

semester.

Juniors, seniors, graduate and law
students will pay an additional $90 per
semester, an increase from $350 to $440.
Rates for dental students will increase
from $400 to $490 and medical students will be assessed $540 (now $475).
Studentsin Millard Fillmore College
(night school) will pay $24.50 per
credit hour per semester for first and
second year courses, and $27.50 per
credit hour for all other courses in the
college.
The charge per credit hour for tutorial
students will be $35, an increase of $6
over the present charge.
The tuition rates are higher for upper
classmen than for freshmenand sophomores because the expense of instruction
is less during the first two years and
increases as a student moves into higher

levels.
Dr. Furnas' letter stated:
"The University has always done its
utmost to offer its students distinguished
educational opportunities and at the
same time keep its tuition charges just
as low as possible. But it is well
known, grave problems face American
colleges and universities because the inflation that has occurcd means that the
costs have risen faster than income and
resources.
The total costs of the University's
operation are never fully covered by
tuition. Even at the new rates, student
charges still cover less than 70% of
the budget of the University."
Dr. Furnas pointed out that comparable universities and colleges also
have been forced to raise tuition fees.
As examples he listed Rochester,Colgate, Cornell and others which will
charge tuition feesfrom $1,000 to $1,200
this fall.
In his letter, Dr. Furnas mentioned
the thousands of volunteer workers
striving to raise nearly $10,000,000 to
improve and expand facilities and endowment for support of instruction.
"This will contribute greatly to the

Wildroot Grant for
Graduate Loan Fund
The University has received a graduate loan fund, established by the Wildroot Foundation of Buffalo in honor of
Welles V. Moot, former regent of New
York State and original donor to the
foundation.
An initial contribution of $10,000 has
been made and the Foundation will
continue annual grants until a selfsustaining, revolving fund of $100,000
has been established.
The fund, known as "The Welles V.
Moot Graduate Loan Fund", was presented to Chancellor Furnas by Mr.

Moot and his two sons, Richard E. and
Welles V. Moot, Jr.
"This will be in recognition of Mr.
Moot's contribution to the field of
education and to demonstrate his belief
that young men and women can themselves obtain and pay the true cost of
their own higher education."
The Fund will provide up to $2,500
for any qualified student to meet the
cost of his or her graduate education.
No security of collateral will be required other than the written obligation of each student to repay the loan.
Initially, preference will be given to
full-time graduates in the Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences,including
the Schools of Nursing, Business Administration,Education and SocialWork.
If funds are available, eligibility will
be extended to full time students in
the Schools of Law, Medicine and

.

Dentistry.
Accepting the Fund, Dr. Furnas said:
"We are most grateful to the Wildroot Foundation
We are particularly
pleased that the Fund will stand in
honor of Mr. Moot, who has had a
long and distinguished career devoted

to the support of and improvement of
education in all its phases.
"We at the University are sincerely
proud to play a role in recognizing
him as an outstanding educator and

citizen."

This edition of the Codex or "Golden

in 1925. The editor was Dr. Georg
Leidinger and the publisher, Hugo
Schmidt.
The Latin manuscript was written in
1870 under the sponsorship of Kaiser
Karl 11.
The text includes the writings of the
four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke,
and John, in the Vulgate Latin translated by St. Jerome.
The writers were two monks,Brothers
Beringar and Liuthard. It is believed
the Codex was written and painted in
the Benedictine Monastery at Corbie

The Codex is one of the greatest
examples of the high peak to which
artistic ornamentation of manuscripts

A new two-year University College
will open its doors for the first time in
the fall of 1958 and will be in full
operation in the fall of "59. The College has been approved in principle by
the other divisions of the University and
has received approval of the University
Council to proceed with the organization.
The new division will embrace the
first two undergraduate years of all
divisions. Under the College, all students will enter one division instead of
the eight now existing. There they will
take all their basic courses and graduate
or move on to the upper divisions and
professional schools if they are qualified.
Dr. Furnas stated in the campus
newspaper, '"The Spectrum", that he
has two main reasons for being in favor
of a two-year University College:
1. It generally takes about two years
for a student to find his real interest
and ability. At present it is difficult to
change from one program to another;
thus, the new plan will give more flexibility in advisement and program plan-

ning.

2. By consolidating work, we will b:1
able to give groupsindividual attention
such as special honor classes and special
divisional training. For example, science
could be taught as both a cultural and

dual registration for the incoming freshthat matters of advisement and
transfer can be immediately put into

Dr. Ertell, New Dean
Dr. Merton Ertell, assistant vice
chancellor for educational affairs, has
been appointed dean of the new University College. The appointment was
made by an executive committee of
deans and faculty members.
The main task facing Dr. Ertell and
the executive committee is to set policy
and adjust entrance requirements. Bylaws will be drafted by a subcommittee
headed by Charles Fogel, BA '35, MA
'38, associate professor of engineering.
A native of Buffalo, Dr. Ertell is a
graduate of South Park High School.
He received his bachelor of science in
Business Administration from The University of Buffalo in 1938 and his
master's degree in 1949. Dr. Ertell received his PhD degree in labor economics and industrial relations from the
University of Chicago. He has been a

industrial relations.

University officials hope to set up
enough sections in such basic courses as
English composition, American and
European history and the sciences,to
meet various levels of training and competence. Separate courses are considered for the specialists and nonspecialists.

The two-year College will offer an
associate degree after successfulcompletion of the requirements of the twoyear program.
Dual registration will take place at
the University next fall. Dr. Furnas
stated that there will be no fundamental
reorganization of curriculum for the

—

The University's highest honor the
Chancellor's Medal—has been awarded
to Dr. Julius W. Pratt, "beloved teacher,
indefatigable scholar, renowned historian, outstanding servant of the community and a patriotic American who has
dignified Buffalo in the eyes of the

world."
Dr. Pratt is the Samuel P. Capcn
professor of American History, dean
emeritus of the GraduateSchoolof Arts
and Sciences and one of only four members of the University faculty ever
awarded the title of "distinguished professor".
The Chancellor's Medal was established in the will of Charles P. Norton,
sixth chancellor of the University. It is
awarded annually, on George Washington's birthday, to an outstanding citizen
who personifies civic patriotism and
public service.
Chancellor Clifford C. Furnas, in
making the presentation to Dr. Pratt,
declared:
"In a year in which every American
has become particularly aware of the
position of his country in international
and even interplanetary affairs, it is
especially appropriate that we honor a
distinguished American historian who
has devotedhis life to the enlightenment
of his fellow countrymen in the field of

foreign policy.
"This year we have chosen a scholar
of world renown who came to The University of Buffalo in 1926 as chairman
of the Department of History and Government and who has contributed greatly
to the development of this field of study,
to the education of thousands of students and to the inspiration of the citizens of the Buffalo community."
Dr. Pratt, a native of Piedmont, South
Dakota, received his bachelor's degree
from Davidson College in 1908,and his
doctor of philosophy degree from the
University of Chicago in 1924. He first
taught English at the Georgia Schoolof
Technology and then at North Carolina
State College.

Chancellor's Medal
to Dr. Julius Pratt
Dr. Furnas continued his biographical information on Dr. Pratt by pointing out that, "one of his early teaching
assignments was at the U. S. Naval
Academy at Annapolis. Fortunate were
the midshipmen who received their basic
instruction in American History and
foreign affairs from this brilliant and
witty young professor. After two years
at Rutgers University he came to The
University of Buffalo and has taught
here continuously ever since."
"In 1936, Dr. Pratt was Albert Shaw
lecturer in American Diplomatic History at Johns Hopkins University and in
1956 he spent a semester as a Fulbright
professor at the Ludwig Maximilian
University in Munich, Germany.
"To the nation at large and to the
world of scholarship he has given a long
list of books and articles on American
History and foreign affairs, the most recent being his text, 'A History of United
States Foreign Policy."

Three of Dr. Pratt's other significant
books are: "Expansionists of 1812",

"Expansionists of 1898" and "America's
Colonial Experiment".
"We could devote many words to the
listing of previous honors heaped upon
this great Buffalonian, but those of us
who know him best will testify that he
is an extremely modest and self effacing
person who shrinks from accolades of
praise.
"However, this devoted teacher has
never hesitated to set forth fearlessly
and with enthusiasm the great tenets of
Americanism to guide young students in
universities and senior statesmen in centers of government."
Dr. Pratt will leave the University at
the end of the academic year to accept
an appointment with the John Hay
Whitney Foundation under the Whitney
Visiting ProfessorsProgram. Dr. Pratt
will spend next year at Hood College
in Frederick, Maryland.

�Football Schedule Includes
Harvard, Columbia, Lehigh
It's another nine-game schedule for
The University of Buffalo Football Bulls
in 1958. The addition of Baldwin-Wallace on Saturday, October 18 at RotaryField completed the schedule and gave
us an ideal day for Homecoming.
The big news is the appearance of the
two "Ivy League" teams on the schedule, Harvard and Columbia. The home
gamefeaturewill be the Columbia game
at Civic Stadium on October 25.
The Columbia Lions, rebuilding under
famed coach Duff Donelli, remain one
of the East's most respected names in
football. Although the Lion's have had
rather poor seasons the past few years,
they are definitely on the upswing and
should be a power in the Ivy League
within a short time.
On the road the Bulls will really be
faced with some tough foes. Harvard,
another famous name in gridiron history, will provide the Bulls with their
opener at Cambridge on September 27.
Also away from home are three of
the teams to defeat the Bulls last year,
Cortland State, Western Reserve, and

Lehigh.
Lehigh was regarded as one of the
nation's top teams in 1957. The engineers lost only to 13th ranked V.M.I.

�Go It Alone
EXERCISE in considering our
THIS
society as a world civilization is
useful
but it does
a

one,
run counter
a powerful, deeply embedded imthe impulse
pulse in American life
to look on America as a land set apart
from all others, able to go its own way
without reference to what the rest of
the world may be doing. The man who
is ruled by this impulse we call an isolationist, and when we try to appraise
what we are and where we are going he
is one of the people we need to examine. Who is he, and just how did he
get that way!
An excellent study is now available
in a book called The Isolationist Impulse, written by Selig Adler, professor
of history at The University of Buffalo.
Mr. Adler begins his inquiry by pointing
out that it is necessary first of all to
define isolationism correctly. American
isolationism, he remarks, "has never
meant total social, cultural and economic and self-sufficiency." Few Americans have ever believed in that, and the
whole course of American history is
against it. We have always exchanged
both goods and ideas with the rest of
the world, and we have never dreamed
to

Dr. Selig Adler's new book "The
Isolationist Impulse" was reviewed in
the February 1958 issue of "American
Heritage", the Magazine of History.
The book was reviewed by editor Bruce
Catton in his feature column, "Reading,
Writing and History." Mr. Catton is
the author of many well known books
of history including his Pulitzer Prize
winning novel, "A Stillness at Appomatox".
Dr. Adler is a 1931 summa cum laude

graduate of The University

of Buffalo's

College of Arts and Sciences. He has
Professor of History at the University since 1941. He received his MA
and PhD degrees from the University

been

of Illinois.

Dr. Adler will journey

to

Cornell

University for the second semester of
next year as a Visiting Professor of History, teaching the courses that have

been taught by Dr. Dexter Perkins, John
Senior Professor of American Civilization

at Cornell,

who will be on leave.

�of the ironwalled retreat into a hermit's
life similar to that of the Japan of the
shoguns. American isolationism is simply a determination to stay out of for-

eign

wars,

coupled with an unwavering

refusal to enter into alliances; a belief
that we must always go it alone. Isolationists, says Mr. Adler, "cling tenaciously to faith in the unchangeability
of our changing world."
This, to be sure, is where the shoe
pinches, because the world is changing
very radically, and some of the change
comes from what we ourselves do. Yet
the drive to go it alone is strong and it
has deep roots in the American past,
and Mr. Adler is concerned with getting
these roots out and seeing what they
amount to.

This inquiry leads him into a study
of American history since, roughly, the
time of the First World War. We got
into a war which we had supposed we
could stay out of, we oversold ourselves
(once we got in) on what was going to
be accomplished, and at the end it
seemed that all of our fine hopes had
been blighted. It was precisely then that
the isolationist impulse came to full
flower, and it proved an extremely
hardy growth; bruised and trodden on
though it has been of late, it is a long
way from being dead. Where did it
get its strength?
Step by step, Mr. Adler traces it.
Woodrow Wilson ran into many difficulties, some of them self-created, when
he came back from Paris with the draft
Treaty of Versailles and the concept of
a League of Nations. The liberals, previously among his strong supporters, fell
away from him. The pro-league arguments were cast in an unreal, idealistic
form, instead of being based on the obvious point that it was to our material
interest to set up machinery that would
curb aggression and war; and in 1919
America had grown very disillusioned
about idealism. The election of 1920
was tragically misinterpreted; everyone
assumed that it was a referendum on
the treaty and on the league, when in
fact (as Mr. Adler insists) it was the
result of the interaction of many very

2

complex forces, including simple warweariness. Not for years thereafter
would any political party be willing to
go to the people with an internationalist program.
Then came the Harding Administration, in which, as Mr. Adler says, we
tried to retain die benefits of isolationism and still reap the benefits of a
privileged position in the world's market places. Washington washed its hands
of responsibility for world economic
conditions just when big business was
getting into world economic affairs up
to both elbows. Our statesmen and industrialists, imagining themselves perfectly in tune with each other, went in
diametrically opposite directions.
The world economic depression
which, at least in part, grew out of this
greatly intensified the desire for
isolation; and, as Mr. Adler says, '"the
isolationism of the 1930's was much
more profound than the rather superficial detachment of the preceding
decade." Dabbling in European affairs,
apparently, had not only cost us our
ideals but a great deal of money as well.
We withdrew furdier into ourselves; at
which moment came a new wave of
aggressions, overseas, which tended to
confirm our deep suspicions that international politics was no game for us.
The New Deal did not stem die tide.
On the contrary, the high-water mark
of isolationism came in the neutrality
legislation which bloomed between 1935
and 1937. Ironically, this legislation, Mr.
Adler believes, made war all the more
likely, for it helped persuade the megalomaniac Axis leaders that "the United
States would stand by as they tore up
the maps of Europe and Asia."
Out of all diis came, at last, die Second World War, which reversed the
trend. It was not followed by a general
retreat of the liberals, as had been the
case in 1919, and it clearly destroyed
the isolationist argument that if we
fought against Fascism we would destroy the very values we were trying
to save. Also, on a purely material
plane, it restored the pulsing prosperity
which had hern missing for more than

—

—

a decade. We no longer wanted to get
back to a happier prewar age, because
the prewar age, this time, did not look
worth regaining. There was an aftermath, to be sure, and the postwar witch
hunts can be seen as a final flare-up of
the isolationist mood, but the great drive
was over.
Over
for keeps? Mr. Adler is not
entirely certain. We have not yet found,
he sagely remarks, an adequate substitute for isolationism. The collective
security ideal is still in the blueprint
stage, the international situation is {to
say the least) unpromising, and there
could still be a revival of the insular
tradition. We have always been torn
between a desire to use our power to
stabilize the world and an urge to remain
aloof. At the moment the internationalists seem to have won; but their victory,
Mr. Adler warns, was "a decision rather
than a knockout." The isolationists may
yet demand a rematch; meanwhile, "the
only certain thing about the future is

—

uncertainty."

�Christopher Baldy, LLB'10, Capen Award Winner

Christopher Baldy, LLB'IO

The Samuel P. Capen Alumni Award
for 1958 was presented to Christopher
Baldy, LLB'IO, at the Annual General
Alumni Board Dinner held at the Buffalo Athletic Club on June 7.
The citation was read by outgoing
president of the G.A.8., Owen B. Augspurger, Jr., LLB'37, and presented to
Mr. Baldy by incoming president Harry
G. LaForge, PhG'23, MD'34.

The citation read, in part, as follows:
This occasion marks the ninth presentation of The Samuel Paul Capen
Award. Our honored alumnus was
graduated from the School of Law in
1910 and in the following year began
a continuous and successful career with
a distinguished Buffalo law firm. In
1921 he was admitted to partnership in
the establishment, and he has to this
day made the practice of law his principal interest in an abundant life.
His untiring devotion and effective
service to The University and its Alumni
Association was fittingly recognized by
his election to the Council of the University in 1950. Since 1951 he has very
ably served as Secretary of the Council
and as a member of the Committee on
General Administration. One of the
arduous tasks that he performed for the
University was assisting the Committee
which revised the Charter of the University. This important document has
recently been approved by the Board
of Regents of the State of New York.
In addition, he helped in the revision
of the Ordinances of the University, and
this draft has been adopted by the
Council. Another task of legal interpretation and editing which he performed
was the revision of the Constitutions of
the Dental, Medical and Pharmacy Participating Funds.

As a member of the Executive Committee of the Chancellor's Advisory
Committee on Bequests and Endowments he has assisted in counseling
friends of the University in making
fitting remembrances. His own class
Law
1910
has set a fine example
in 100% participation in bequests to
their Alma Mater.
His fellow barristers demonstrated
their high regard for this outstanding
Buffalonian by choosing him as President of the Marshall Club of Lawyers
in 1920 and as President of the Erie
County Bar Association in 1942. Other
honors heaped upon him by his profession include membership on the Committee on Character and Fitness of Applicants for Admission to the Bar in
the Eighth Judicial District of the State
of New York and membership on the
Committees for Legal Education of the
New York State Bar Association and
for Admission to the Bar. By request
of the Council of the City of Buffalo he
served on the Committee on Capital
Expenditures of the Council.
One of the most impressive of a long
series of honors bestowed upon our distinguished alumnus was received from
The Right Reverend Lauriston L. Scaife,
Bishop of the Diocese of Western New
York, the Bishop's Cross as Church
Warden of the Year.

�Alumni Weekend
alumni college, reunions, awards, carousel, ponies

piggy back

...
pony rides...

Alumni Weekend, June 7 and 8, was
the biggest and best yet, incorporating
some new attempts to attract alumni
back to the campus.
The most successful of the ideas was
the first effort of the "Alumni College."
Dr. Raymond Ewell, vice chancellor for
research, and Dr. Oscar Silverman,chairman of the Department of English,
were the first, of what is hoped to be,
a long list of Alumni College lecturers.
On the eleventh floor of the Tower
Residence Hall, over 100 alumni and
guests gathered to hear Dr. Ewell speak
on "Education and the World Struggle"
and Dr. Silverman speak on "Great
Books." Robert Berner, BS (Bus) '39,
MBA'4B, dean of Millard Fillmore College, introduced the speakers.
At twelve noon the senior class was
inducted into the University Alumni
Association. After the induction the
graduates were invited to attend the
barbecue and TUNK east of the Tower.
The children again dominated the
scene this year and were thoroughly at
ease riding the ponies, fire engine and
carousel.
During the afternoon celebration
Alumni Awards were presented to those
who diligently worked on the Campaign.
Charles H. Diefendorf, general campaign chairman, and Robert R. Rich,
BS(Bus)'3s, chairman of the alumni
phase of the campaign, were awarded
Alumni Medals of Honor.

It is estimated that 800 attended the

daytime activities.

Harold H. Johnson, BS(Bus)'43, vice
president of the General Alumni Board,
was general chairman for the weekend.
John J. Starr, Arts'so, was chairman
of Alumni Day. His committee consisted of Muriel Maranville Marshall,

BS(Bus)'51; Edward A. Dunlop, BA

'47, MD'54; Edmund J. Lankes, Bus
'50; and Charles Percival, Jr., BS(Bus)
'47.
The General Alumni Board Dinner
was held at the Buffalo Athletic Club
in the evening. Christopher Baldy,
LLB'IO, was the recipient of the Dr.

Samuel Capen Award at the dinner.
The Alumnae Dance followed the
dinner at the Buffalo Athletic Club.
For the first time since the inception

of outdoor commencement in 1953, the
weather failed to maintain its usual
favorable discipline. The 1958 Commencement will go on record as the
wettest in U. B.s history.
Chancellor Furnas managed only two
minutes of his Commencement address,
"The Universatality of the American
University." In his address he stated
that "every American should have the
opportunity for as lengthy and intensive

an education as his abilities permit."
The photos on these pages represent
only a fraction of the total activities
that occurred on June 7 and 8.

Irving R. Templeton, LLB'O9, who
pioneered the first MUD on the last
Saturday in April 1922, never dreamed
that his brainchild would grow to be
the extravanganza that 1958 proved to
be.
In its early years, MUD consisted of a
street parade in downtown Buffalo with
only freshmen participating. They
dressed up in gay costumes and clowned
in the streets. The freshmen were accompanied by mounted police and proceeded from Shelton Square up Main
Street.
Following the parade the students assembled in the old Teck Theatre where
convocation was held and awards were
given out. As enrollment increased,
convocation was moved to HutchinsonCentral High School.
Years later all classes joined in the
parade and the construction of floats

urated. The queen and her attendants,
chosen by the students, rode on a special float in the parade.
Since World War 11, the parade began in downtown Buffalo and moved to
the campus where the judge's stand was
located. The parade and the floats
have a theme and the floats are judged
in relation to the theme.
The parade is followed by a lunchconvocation. Awards for outling achievements in all phases of
ersity life are given out on MovingDay. The climax of the day is the
MUD dance where the winners of the
float contest are announced.
MUD signifies moving up one step
on the academic ladder; freshmen to
sophomores, sophomores to juniors, and
juniors to seniors. The celebration takes
place at least two to three weeks before
final exams, a real show of optimism on
behalf of the students.

Dr. Furnas' hotel room in Denver and
were shown "Frontier U". The film was
enthusiastically received and interesting
questions and discussions followed.

Tentative plans were made to meet in
mid-summer for a picnic affair on the
Chancellor's property in the foothills of
the Rockies, about 15 miles from Denver.
Those present for the meeting included: Victor A. Bley, Bus's 3, and

Elmira
Approximately 40 alumni, husbands,
wives and friends attended the annual
meeting of the Elmira, N. Y. Area
Alumni Club, held on May 24 at the
Mark Twain Hotel in Elmira.
Dinner chairman Joseph Ferraiola,
DDS'4O, introduced Ted Siekmann, director of alumni relations. Mr. Siekmann, who attended with Mrs. Siekmann, made an urgent appeal for all to
try to attend the Alumni weekend in
June and also stressed the importance
of supporting the University's athletic
program by the purchase of season
tickets.
A very interesting lecture was given
by Professor Anderson of Elmira College. Professor Anderson demonstrated
sculpturing and followed his demonstration with a question and answer period
that proved to be most enlightening.
The Elmira Club presented a check
to Mr. Siekmann to be used to assist in
the education of a local Elmira student.
Officers elected for 1958 are: John
Harold Hunt, MD'23, president; Joseph Ferraiola, DDS'4O, vice president;
William K. Nowill, BA'3B, MD'44, secretary; Macey Kantz, PhG'2o, treasurer;

�Grid Bulls Build Around
20 Returning Lettermen

The football Bulls were blessed with
many days of ideal weather for their
spring practice sessions. Coach Offenhamer hopes they are equally blessed
with victories in the fall when the Bulls
begin one of their toughest schedules in
U. B. football history-.
Offenhamer, while reasonably optimistic that the Bulls will be an improved team over 1957 when they won
five and lost four, has this optimism
tempered by the knowledge that the
percentage of improvement is unlikely
to be in proportion to the increased
strength of the schedule.
The Bulls' coaching staff will build
from a nucleus of 20 returning lettermen. While the number of returnees
constitutes an assurance of some measure of depth on the squad, there is at
least one position at which U. B. figures
to be substantially weaker than a year
ago. The tackle positions, which in the
quick opening Split T. offense are all
important, will lose two outstanding
operators through graduation. Line
Coach Karl Kluckhohn is faced with
the unhappy prospect of replacing Little
Ail-American Fran Woidzik
who has
signed to play professional football with
Hamilton of the Canadian Big Four
and Woidzik's running mate,
League
Gordon DeMasi. Juniors Bernie Fagan
and George Delaney are the only remaining tackles with varsity experience.
Guard Sam Sanders was shifted to tackle
during spring practice and acquitted
himself well. Junior John Dempsey and
sophomore Ray Skaine are other candidates who showed promise during the

—

—

spring.

Lettermen

Chuck

Tirone, Joe

O'Grady, Stan Kowalski and Fran Mazurkiewicz will return at guard. Addi-

tionally, sophomores Phil Bamford and
Joe Shifflet, of last year's undefeated
freshman team, will add plenty of
strength to that position.

Captain Remo Damiani will be graduated in June, nonetheless, the Bulls
should experience no great difficulty at
center this coming year. Senior cocaptain Louis Reale who alternated at
center and fullback in 1957, will be
16

backed by an improved Ray Paolini and
sophomores Chuck Scott and Jim Beckerich.
Mike Rhodes, newly appointed end
coach, will have the veteran services of
senior co-captain Nick Bottini and
junior letterman Dave Brogan and Bob
Adams as well as the newly reinstated
Carley Keats. 65" sophomore James
Hurley and junior Nate Bliss shifted
from guard, are also bound to help the
flankers.
At quarterback, a decided weakness
in 1957, things began to take shape dur-

ing the spring.

Junior Jim

Allegretto

has a year of invaluable experience under his belt in all phases of the Split T.
attack. Behind him, the Bulls have two
of the Niagara Frontier's All-Time High
School Greats in sophomores Gordon
Bukaty of Lackawranna and Joe Oliveri
of North Tonawanda.
The halfback situation apparently is
the club's strong point. Seniors Kenneth Born and Jim Keats
injured
most of last year
are in top shape
once again as is junior Willie Evans
who demonstrated excellent running
form on many occasions in 1957. Lettermen Bob Muscarella and squad member
Grapes are pushing hard for the
Jim
jobs, as are extremely fast sophomores
George Maue, Paul Szymendera and
John O'Connor. Dick Guild, a transfer
from Ohio University figures to be a lot
of help too.
Bill Brogan, whom Offenhamer feels
could make any team in the country,
heads up the fullback brigade. His loss
through injury in 1957 was a decimating
factor in at least three games. Besides,
Brogan- Offenhamer can call on Reale
who was the Bull's leading ground
gainer at fullback two years ago, and
Born who has matured to a very strong
195-pounds. Sophomores Grover Freeland and Vahan Khanzadian are also
very much in the picture.
Spring practice wound up with the
traditional Blue-White game which
ended in an 8-8 tie. Both teams showed
a lot of spirit and proved to Coach
Offenhamer that they will not be easy
prey for the opposition come next fall.

Mike Rhodes, New
Assistant Grid Coach
Mike Rhodes, Edß'so, a 35 year old
native of Tonawanda and an outstanding end for Frank Clair's 1948-49 U.B.
gridiron eleven has accepted an assistant coaching position under head football coach Dick Offenhamer.
Mike comes directly from a very
successful coaching job at St. Catherine
High School in Detroit. His 1955 team
performed so well in the tough Detroit
schoolboy league that Rhodes was named
Coach of the Year. His 1957 team was
the undefeated champion of the Catholic League.
Rhodes is expected to take over the
end coaching job while Fred Dunlap,
who has been handling the ends, will
become backfield coach. Karl Kluckhohn is the line coach.
This will be Mike's second hitch at
U.B. After graduation in 1950, he
worked here as a graduate assistant,
and coached the line and the ends.
Mike is married and the father of
three children.

About

the
Cover
The front cover represents o sandpainting of the Navaho Indians'
ceremonial "Beautvway." The title for«the sandpainting is "Summer
Thunder" (Big Thunder).
Big Thunder's oblong blue body is the shape of the hogan or house
symbol and represents a turquoise land of summer sunshine. On it are
twelve bars of rain. The circle in the center is a lake or never-failing
spring of pure water. The feet are black cloud or mist symbols. The tail
feathers have the colors of the four directions and of brown earth and
are edged by rainbow rope. Beneath the wings are bags of rain and
thunder with crooked lightning and turkey tassels, indicating rain. The
black arrow points are of male lightning. The figure wears a combination of the weasel (male) and tall-feather (female) headdresses, indicating combined power of the two branches of the chant. Bats, sometimes on fields of yellow pollen, guard the eastern opening.

Bulletin

�About three yearsago the machinery
was set in motion at The University of
Buffalo. Three gentlemen who, at the
time, were on the faculty of different inobject of
stitutions, were the primary
attention. These men, Dr. Henry Lee
Smith, Dr. George L. Trager and Dr.
Raymond L. Birdwhistell were brought
together to form the nucleus of a productive and dynamic unit—the Department of Anthropology and Linguistics.
Sincethe formationof this department,
the question has been brought up time
and time again—what is the study of
anthropology and linguistics and howare they related?
Anthropology is the scientific study of
man in his social and cultural setting.
The anthropologist is interested in all
facetsof human life, all over the world.
Sinceman's life is uniquely tied up with
his language, the separation of anthropology and linguistics is impossible.
STRUCTURE OF LANGUAGE

There are several branches of anthropology, and linguistics is generally considered to be one of them. Linguistics is
primarily concerned with the structure
of language. The linguist attempts to
analyze the way a language works, in
terms of how it is used. He is not trying
to learn or teach a great number of
languages—although some of his discoveries have been applied to the teaching of foreign languages. A person who
can speak several languages is a polyglot,
not a linguist. Dialects of a particular
language, geographically or socially, are
of interest to a linguist. Almost all people
speak differently to a child, to an elder
or a teacher. The linguist may attempt
to record these differencesas being part
of a particular cultural pattern. The
interrelations of languages or language
familiesare a fascinating part of his work.
It is possible, for example, to surmise
much of the historical movement oflarge
groups of peoples by noting how closely
their languages are related.
BEHAVIOR OF MAN
Cultural and social anthropologists
concern themselves with the cultural and
social institutions of different peoples. In
many senses they are interested in the
behavior of man. The various religious
practices of the world, birth, death and
marriage as they occur in differentplaces,

are all part of the study. How do th&lt;
Truk people get their food? What is th&lt;
economic function of children in Ghana.'
Finally, are these elements or institutions
fairly stable,or are they in the process of
rapid change—and how? Cultural anthropologists probed Japanese culture
during World War II in an attempt to
find out more about Japanese "character," and how it might be best to deal
with them. In fact, their recommendations led to the preservation of the Emperor at the head of the state rather than
to execute him and chance the quite
predictable riots.

CULTURE OF PEOPLE
An ethnologist studies the culture of
living peoples. He may spend several
months or even yearsliving in New Zealand or amongthe Laplanders, gathering
eye-witness records of any particular culture. Many problems arise in doing this
work. For instance,the ability to find out
"what is going on" in terms of the foreign
culture is often terribly difficult. Most
Americans tend to see counterparts of
American habits and practices. And often
the ethnologist will not be told about
certain religious practices, but can only
observe at adistance. Men are often told
about the maie role in a culture, but can
only infer some version from sifted stories,
the facts about their female counterparts.
MAN'S PAST

Scholars who deal with man's past are
called archeologists. They are dependent
on surviving material of human activities
for their information. From their probing
in neolithic caves, the pyramids, or remains of centuries-old pueblos, they attempt to describe the culture of a given
people within a certain period of time.
From this they can often determine
changes which occurred in subsequent
time periods, e.g., parts of the eastern
Mediterranean area. With new techniques for dating materials and fossils,
archeological remains can now be dated
much more accurately. The work now
proceeding on the Dead Sea Scrolls involves much in the way of archeological
work.

PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY
A branch of anthropology which differsconsiderably from the others is physical anthropology. This field overlaps
greatly with biology. From early work
mainly in the measurement and classification of parts of the human anatomy,
it is now progressing to much more interesting and fruitful areas. The modern

blood samples and X-rays of people all
over the world. Do all peoples adapt to
high altitudes? What may determine
such differencesif they exist? If a majority of the people in a culture arerelatively large or small,fat or thin, what are
the inherited factors and what are the
culturally determined factors? In Java,
the term which designates a beautiful
woman means "long nosed" in translation to English; does this influence the
population physically?
THE DEPARTMENT
In the short span of two yearssince the
Department of Anthropology and Linguistics was officially formed, it has been

Bulletin

particularly fortunate in its personnel
who have had their training in all the
fields of anthropology except physical.
Perhaps even more important, the department has attracted a total of eleven
graduate students in this, the first year it
is offering a formal graduate curriculum.
Not only are these first rate students but
they have been attracted to Buffalo from
such far-flung places as Hawaii, Chile
and Mexico to study under Professors
Smith, Trager and Birdwhistell.
The people who are responsible for
success of this departmentare well known
in their respective fields for their excellent scholarship and teaching. Dr. Henry
Lee Smith, Jr., is the Chairman of the
department. He is primarily a linguist.
Sincereceiving his PhD from Princeton
inl93B,hehas done agreat deal ofwork,

particularly research,in the structure of
English and in the applications of linguistics to other areas. From 1939-41
ProfessorSmith conducted the radio pro-

gram entitled. "Where Are You From."
On this program he determined from
various dialectal clues, the birthplace of
speakers of English —with an accuracy
approaching 85 percent. From 1946-56
he founded and eventually became Dean
of the Schoolof Languages, Foreign Service Institute, Department of State. In
1951, in cooperation with Professor
Trager, he wrote the "Outline of English
Structure," one of the milestones in modern linguistics. During the past year he
made a series of 13 television programs
which form an introduction to linguistics.
They are now being shown in the over
thirty cities from coast to coast which

Professor George L. Trager is recognized by many as the Dean of American linguistics. His list of publications
numbers close to 200, and includes several extremely important papers which
have laid the groundwork for much of
the linguistic research of the past decade.
Having received his doctorate from Columbia, he has taught at Yale. Oklahoma, Georgetown, and the Foreign Service Institute. Presendy he is engaged
primarily in basic linguistic research on
the English language in cooperation with
Dr. Smith. A book which will revise and
supplement the "Outline of English
Structure," will be the outcome of the
present work. In addition to his other
duties,Dr. Trager is editor and publisher
of an excellent journal, "Studies in Linguistics." In this journal are published
articles of local origin and material from
all over the world.
The founder of kinesics —the study of
gesture and body motions—is Dr. Raymond L. Birdwhistell. He received his
training in anthropology at the University of Chicago. Interested in personality

work in American Culture includes a
studyof three American adolescent clique
groups and an intensive analysis of a
small, bluegrass Kentucky town. ProfessorBirdwhistell has been a pioneer in
the analysis of the meaning of body motion and is a recognized specialist in
communication theory, communityanalysis, and problems relating to American
culture and personality. He is the author
of "Introduction to Kinesics" and a number of scientific papers. He has been
working with psychiatrists in the analysis
of the non-verbal aspects of communication in the clinical setting.
An ethnologist, Dr. Elizabeth J.
Tooker has just framed her Harvard
sheepskin. She is particularly interested
in studying American Indians—and has

done field work in the southwestern
United States, among the Papago and
Yaqui Indians of Arizona. Presently, she
is becoming acquainted with the Seneca
groups of the Iroquois Indians who have
three reservations within 60 miles of
Buffalo.
The department is fortunate in having
the loan of Dr. Marian White from the
Buffalo Museum of Science. Dr. White,
who has just come to Buffalo from the
University of Rochester,is engaged on a
long-term archeological project in this
area. She has been investigating several
local Indian campsites and burial grounds
in an attempt to piece together the history of the Indians in this area. Dr. White
is conducting several evening courses in
archeology this year, the first time it has
been offered by this department.

The research arm of this department
is vestedin the Institute for Research in
Human Communication. The Institute
is now under a subcontract with the Upstate Medical College of New York, at
Syracuse, and is investigating the communication aspects of the psychiatric interview. Dr. Smith's series of television
films was also part of the work of this

organization.
Anthropology and linguistics,

one of
the newest and most rapidly growing departments of The University of Buffalo
will continue to engage in important
basic research. Its attraction of high
caliber students from widespread areas,
and the excellence of its products in
terms of material and men will further
help to spread the fame of our Univer-

sity.

�Let's face the factsofinacecoleg
By Gordon Greer

Reprintedfrom Better Homes and Gardens Magazine

One of die stern rules of commerce says that a business
stands to make more moneyas it attracts more customers; build
a better mousetrap and you'll get rich from crowds that beat a
path to your door. With proof of this formula's success strewn
from one end of our economyto the other, it's understandable
that people tend to look toward the campus with a questioning
eye.In spite of a record 3,250,000enrollment—In fact, because
of it, to judge from their claims —colleges are sailing troubled
financial waters. And nothing unnerves an educator more than
the prospect of this attendance doublingby 1970.
On die surfaceof it, someone seems to be fumbling a golden
chance for profit. But in this case die symptoms are misleading.
Educators are not the poor businessmen they might appear,
since in truth they aren't businessmen at all and neverintended
to be. Service,not profit, is their goal. Colleges are less concerned with gettingmoney out of a customer's pocket than with
putting knowledge into his head, and they're determined to
hold that aim even if it bankrupts them.
It might, too. since they currently foot most of the bill. Private schools pay an averageof 45 percent of each undergraduate's expenses; state colleges pay about 82 percent. The combined college students of this country are charged only onethird the cost of the education they receive. (These figures exclude room and board, which are usually provided at cost.) A
committee appointed by President Eisenhower to investigate
the situation found that teachers are stuck with most of the
deficit. By working for disgracefully low wages,they '"donate"
$800 million a year to their students. This is over 53,500per
teacher. "The plain fact is," the committee reported, "that the
college teachers of the United States,through their inadequate
salaries,are subsidizing the education of students, and in some
cases the luxuries of students' families,by an amountwhich is
more than double the grand total of alumni gifts, corporate
gifts, and endowment income of all colleges and universities
combined."
How come?If, as surveysindicate, a bachelor's degree carries
with its larger rewards the promise of an extra 5100,000in lifetime earning power, why should those who supply it have to
pay for it as well? Obviously, they shouldn't, and the fact that
they do shows the need for a clearer public understanding of
what's going on.

6

This, in a nutshell, is the situation: Few students (or their
families) can pay for an education while they're getting it. If
tuitions were raised to meet expenses, only therichest —and not

necessarily the best—scholars would survive. Therefore, colleges quietly make up the differencebetween the price and the
price tag, and hope to be remembered when students emerge
from their lean years. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work
that way. After receiving their sheepskins, many graduates
quit town never to be heard from again, leaving in their wake
an institution impoverished by their stay and that much less
equipped to give future students a proper schooling.
Ifthis sounds like a man running off with a dishwasher before
making the payments, that's a fair analogy, but there are two
differences.First, an education can't be carted back to the store
and resold;and second,an alumnus isn't always aware that there
are payments involved.
For this latter condition, colleges willingly accept the blame.
Until recently, they failed to publicize the debt incurred by
earning a degree. Why? For one thing, endowment income,
alumni contributions, and community support often kept fair
pace with expenses, so there wasn't so great a burden. For
another, teaching is a proud profession not given to dunning
graduates or begging for handouts. In short, the schools preferred tosuffer in silence rather than play the nagging creditor.
But there is a limit to how much even a teacher will endure,

and since the

recent growth in enrollment has not been accompanied by a comparable rise in revenue, some important
changes are being made.
As a first step, colleges are advertising how they financeevery
education, explaining that without the assistance of Alma
Mater there would be far fewer students than there are. Hopefully, they think this might touch alumni consciences and increase their gifts—or, more accurately, that more alumni will

face up to their debts. Some schools have started classes in
college finance.Teachers,administrators,and undergraduates
talk over the economic factsof life—not only to encouragegenerosity in the future, but to help students appreciate their education now. Early returns have been encouraging. A number
of new graduates, for instance,now take out low-payment life
insurance policies naming dieir college as beneficiary. But not
all of them keep up the payments, and even when they do the

Alumni

�school can't expect to get the money for many years. What
happens in the meantime?
There are several possible solutions, one of which might be
called "Learn Now, Pay Later." This plan would boost tuition
to ease the teacher's burden, with students financing their education by long-term loans. However, there's a naturalreluctance
for banks and loan associations to lend money to men and
women with no security and an uncertain future, and since
higher tuitions will probably wait until all students who need
creditors find them, this project might be some time coming.
Outright federal aid enjoys some popularity, and so does indirect aid through tax exemptions to students or their families,
but not much of it comes from government officials or educators. Private colleges are anxious to maintain their independence, and many legislators think it's enough that the public
alreadysupports about 60 percent of all college students through
state taxes. Ifthere is to be federal aid3 majority opinion seems
to favor a loan fund, with the government acting as creditor for

needy undergraduates.
How about scholarships? One camp saysthere aren't nearly
enough to go around, another camp says that nevertheless
there are already three times too many. The first judgment is

both obvious and true. The second is equally valid, though,
since most grants cover only die student's share of expenses, not
the college's. Aimed at helping students to get a good education, straight tuition scholarships really make it increasingly
hard for colleges to give one. Fortunately, many awards are
now divided equitably between the school and the scholar,but
this increases the drain on the donor and sharply reduces the
number of recipients.
Make no doubt of it: colleges need every cent they can get,
and all of these plans will help, as will several other similar
ones. But neither singly nor in combination will they do the
job. To stay on their feet, schools need more vigorous support
from students —past, present, and future. Those who reap the
greatest benefitsfrom higher education are being asked to play
a bigger role in financing it, and this, after all, is as it should be.
Roughly 20 percent of today's alumni make regular contributions to their Alma Mater; 80 percent do not. In addition
to those who still aren't fully aware of their debt, this large
majorityof noncontributors holds a few graduates who honestly

can't afford the expense. But

most of

them just don't want

to.

There seems to be a variety of reasons. Some of the guilty
parties apparently facesuch a backlog of neglect that they're
afraid to tackle the job of making amends,preferring to carry
the burden of troubled consciences. Others seem to consider it
a mark of their own cleverness that they slipped through school
at reduced fare, and summarily reject any moral or financial
claims. Not only do colleges have to plead for what little cash
they get from these people, but not infrequently they have to
stand still while the old grads tell them how to spend it. Only
with the firm promise that it goesto a pet project will some
alumni part with their money—moneythey probably made as
a result of an education they never paid for. And, regrettably,
the needs of the school are often subordinate to any fame that
might attend the gift. So it is that a vain alumnus often invests
in shiny buildings (which have bronze plaques holding contributors names in dubious immortality) rather than in shabby
teachers (who so far haven't started to wear sandwich boards
advertising to the world their former students' generosity), disregarding the more desperate need on most campuses for adequate faculty pay.
There was a time in this nation's history when all it took to
combat problems of this magnitude was to make them known.
With freedom's taste fresh on men's tongues, there was little
danger of apathy competingwith action. The way of life born
in that spirit now facesa crisis that must be met in that spirit.
America's survival—and mankind's—seems more and more to
hinge on the ability of our colleges to develop people clever
enough to devise instruments of awesome power and wise
enough to use them properly. Since the effectivenessof the
colleges depends on public support, the real question is whether
or not we are too bored with freedom to take steps that might
assure its continuation.
While the rest of us think it over, while we juggle issues,
weigh pros and cons, and leisurely ponder whether or not to
chip in, the teacher sticks to his thankless task of holding our
colleges together on chewing gum and bobby pins. For this we
should be humbly grateful. It is no small thing in these times
for a man to throw up his chance at fame and fortune so that
someone else's son might get a decent education.

A Buttress ofWelfaPur blic
The modern corporation has been
evolving into one of the major social institutions of our century. It is more than
just a favored economic instrument. It is
more than a legal entity existing in con-

confineitself to a chain of reasoning that
would prove profitability in terms of
actual dollars on the corporation's balance sheet. Obviously there is a need to
examine each case individually.

law." a bloodless apparition, as the juristic description might indicate. In recent
yearsthis power structure has,in fact, become an indispensable organ of our entire economic and social structure.
However, it is clear that no institution,
the corporation included, will survive if
it is dedicated only to self-preservation in
the narrow sense. A business has a goal
beyond simple success. Business is an integral part of our society and as such
must make a contribution of service to
society, as well as a profit, if it hopes to
survive beyond the short term period.
The awareness of the frontiers of social
responsibility which many corporations
are now beginning to show may arise in
part from conscience but more likely
stems from the need for long-run survival.
Reasonably, then, a corporation may
show its social responsibility through its
charitable enterprises. Still, in these endeavors,the corporation is not justone of
170 million citizens. Rather it is a nucleus
of influence with extraordinary opportunities as well as obligations. The "scattergun"type of corporate giving—so popular in the past—is wasteful.The exercise of what might be called the "corporate conscience" requires perceptive
analysis of the reasons for and the effects
of giving.
On the one hand the thinking behind
Corporate giving should not be strongly
influenced by the possible immediate
gains from publicity. On the other hand
although a case for long-range corporate
benefitsis desirable, the case need not

Earlier in this year The University of
Buffalo captured the imagination of
alumni, faculty, special contributors, and
many other friends with the introduction
of its Program for Progress, a $9,600,000
campaign designed to expand and improve the University's educational and
other services to the entire community.
The success of this initial phase of the
campaign is now an established fact. Tangible evidence of this success can be seen

The new chemistry building,scheduled for occ

�in the new music building, Baird Hall,
and in Sherman Hall, the new building
devoted to medical research. In addition,
a new $1,950,000 Chemistry Building is
well along in its construction in the southeastern part of the campus.
A new phase of the development campaign is now about to begin—"PhaseB."
In Phase B strong emphasis will be
placed on the support for the Campaign
which, we are sure, can be obtained from
business and industry. Both the urgency
and the closelyrelated appeal of this campaign qualifyit as a prime object for the
charitable efforts of corporations in the
Western New York area —one in which
the "reasons" for giving are impelling
and the "effects" of giving are being
made apparent very rapidly.

Voluntary support of The University
of Buffalo is vital to higher education in
this area and higher education is vital to
Western New York business. The future
importance of Western New York as a
strong and growing industrial center is
firmly linked with the successfulexpansion and development of the University.
It is the University's function to produce
the educated manpower to work as the
agencyfor theoretical and practical research,and to serve as the wellspring of
social, cultural, political, and economic
traditions and progressiveness. If there
were no University these functionswould
have to be provided by industry in order
to attract new manpower.
Then too. The University of Buffalo is
growing in its role as an institution providinga multitude of daily services to business and industry. The rate at which this
growth can continue in the future is dependent in the long-run on the support
which the University receives from business men.

Immediate Need
It has been forecastwith considerable

reliability that the present enrollment of
almost 3,000.000students in colleges and
universities throughout the nation will be
doubled by 1971. This is based on the rising birthrate since World War IIand the
ever increasing emphasis on higher education. It is imperative that we expand
both our faculty and our plant if we are
to be prepared to double our current enrollment while maintaining our high

occupancynext fall —a result of corporate giving.

standards of education.
The University's immediate need is to
provide by 1960 ihe buildings, facilities,
and faculty for an enrollment of more
than 7,500full-time and 6,500 part-time
students. The earlier phase of the De-

velopment Campaign was successfulin
providing approximately $6,000,000 for
faculty endowment and the construction
of several new buildings.
The growing complexity of business

and industrial life has increased steadily
the University's cost of training its students. Approximately 53,600,000is still
needed in order that the University currently may provide better applied and
basic research,better methods of training, and adequate facilities to prepare today's students for tomorrow's requirements of American business.
Specifically the task remaining involves the completion of the Chemistry
Building; the construction of the Health
Sciences Building; the erection of a classroom building and clinic center; and the
construction of a second unit of the proposed Fine Arts Center.

The Challenge
The University in Phase B—the corporate phase—of its Capital Gifts Campaign must implement the successful
efforts which have gone before.In short,
the whole-hearted cooperation of our
business community is necessary
in order
to achieve the over-all goal. Just as an individual business tries to protect and to
improve its position in the business world
by long-range planning, so must the enture business community support the
needs of the University in order to maintain and to improve its future position in
society.
Granted that the task is a challenging
one, still it must be met successfully. Time
and again in American history the busi-

nessman has transcended his industrial
role and become the buttress of the public welfare. He is needed again—now.

�Bulls Upset Harvard 6-3
O'Grady and Bottini combination scores winning touchdown

The University of Buffalo planted the
Ivy at Cambridge on Saturday, Septem-

There were no individual heroes for
the Bulls. Coach Dick Offenhamer

ber 27—and they planted it in the rain
and mud with a 6-3 victory over Harvard

praised the entire team for its showing
against the "sleepers" of the Ivy League.
Of course O'Grady and Bottini were in
on the scoring play and no one can take
that away from them. But there were
others who are worthy of mention.
Sophomore quarterback Gordon Bukaty from Lackawanna was praised by
his coach for "calling the plays well, taking charge and running the club well."
Bukaty found out the morning of the
gamethat he would start at quarterback.
He called the quick kick which was the
turning point of the game.Offenhamer
said he would have called the same play.
The kick came at the start of the
fourth quarter when fullback Bill Brogan
punted from the Buffalo 37, 55 yards to

University.
The more than 1,000U.B. rooters, led
by Chancellor and Mrs. Furnas, who
made the trip, had plenty to cheer about
when guard Joe O'Grady blocked a
Crimson punt and co-captain Nick
Bottini grabbed it in the end zone for the
tally. This proved to be the margin of
victory for the fighting Bulls in their

finest football hour to date.
The Bulls had plenty of desire, or
heart, or intestinal fortitude, or whatever you want to call it when you win a
ballgame like the one played in Harvard
Stadium that day.
Even the most rabid U.B. supporter
thought Harvard a little too tough for the
Bulls, especially with the series of injuries
that befell Buffalo during fall practice.
But the toughness was all Buffalo. Outyards to 92 (177 to 46 on the
gained
ground) and 16 first downs to 6, the
Bulls were just too tough when it
counted. Time and time again the Crimson moved toward the goal line only to
be frustrated in an attempt to score any
more than the field goal they made good
in the first quarter.

the Harvard8 where the ballrolled dead.

Brogan was a leading ground gainer for
the Bulls and also played a fine gameon

defense.
Other outstanding performers included
end Dave Brogan, guard Phil Bamford,
who intercepted a Harvard pass at a crucial point, and tackle SamSanders.Halfback Willie Evans was praised for his fine
defensiveplay.
The most thrilling moments of the
game, other than the scoring play, oc-

curred at the very end of the fourth quarter. After Brogan's quick kick to the
Harvard 8, the Crimson marched to the
Buffalo 17 yard stripe aided by two 15
yard penalties. The Bulls held but Harvardtook over again on a recovered fumble on the Buffalo 39. This time Harvard
marched to the 6 and that was all.
Bukatyran one play and the gameended.
Buffalo 6. Harvard 3.
There is no doubt about the importance of this game.Itvaulted the Buffalo
gridders into national prominence. It is
a great boost to the team, the coaching
staff, alumni and the University.
Saturated by the sheets of falling rain
before, during and after the game, the
loyal Buffalo boosters who made the
Harvard trip could be heard to say over
and over again, "It's a beautiful day."

WHERE THERE'S A WILL

students

Is there really anyreason whyyou shouldn't remember The University ofBuffalo in your will? The
fact that you are reading this demonstrates that the University means something to you
cither as an alumnus,parent of a student, or a close friend.
Legacies to educational institutions are not just for the wealthy to make. Anyone of
average means and conviction of the need of his college can make a bequest which will
multiply itself through its effect on many students. He can literally perpetuate his resources
indefinitely.

More and more people are making charitable bequests, particularly to educational institutions. They range from token gifts of SlOO or less to many thousands of dollars.

LOVED ONES COME FIRST, OF COURSE

. ..

Naturally one must think of his loved ones first and provide for them but it may be possible to include a bequest for the University, too. In any case, it is always possible to include
a clause in one's will where the remainder of the estate passes over to The University of
Buffalo after the death of all heirs.
In some cases a man may see his children grow to be entirely self-sufficient.After providing
in his will for his wife, he may find that a sum bequeathed to the University, which helped
shape his career, brings him a great sense of satisfaction.Alumni who do this say that they
feelan obligation has been met because they have always known that the tuition they paid
while in school never really covered the full cost to their alma mater.

. ..

THERE'S A WAY
Undoubtedly, making a will is a very personal thing. However, everyoneshould make
one. If you have a will, how long has it been since you reviewed it? Does it cover your

and reflect your present wishes?
If youare makingor revising yourwill, The University of Buffalooffersyouan unparalleled
opportunity to associate yourself with enduring progressin education. You can leave a
permanent memorial to yourself and family while helping others to have the opportunity
you enjoyed.
current status

... OR YOU CAN GIVE BY TRUST

Transferof property to the management of a trustee in one of various ways can provide
for the immediate or future benefitof The University of Buffalo.A donor canreserve income
for himselffor life, provide for dependents or survivors and simultaneously gain substantial
tax benefitfor himself and his estate.
Assuming that a donor wishes to provide for his wife and family by way of a trust created
by will, he may provide that on fulfillment of these obligations theremainder shall be given
to The University of Buffalo. Depending on the nature of the estate, it is possible that by
reason of this arrangement, his family will have more income. The charitable deduction
allowable will reduce the estate tax, possibly to such a point that the principal of the trust
remains substantially undisturbed, thus allowing it to earn more money for the wife and
children.

Where
Do We
Stand?
by

Chancellor Clifford C. Furnas

The finest compliment to the success
of "sputnik propaganda" is that many
Americans have been frightened into a
good case of the jitters. The average
citizen has been passing from an initial
state of shock, caused by the orbiting of
Russian earth satellites, into a kind of
cynical mental smog.
There is no cause for panic, though
a little healthful fright may be helpful.
We are indebted to the Russians for a
much needed jolt. Panic is acute fear
of the known or unknown. The assurance which Americans are craving today
is the promise that there will be no
great world-wide war destroying civilization.
The question which keeps popping up
in our minds is: how strong are we in
terms of defense and other items of
national strength? Obviously any assessment of America's position should be
made in comparison with her major
competitor in the world arena of military, political and ideological conflict.
Let us see where we stand vis-a-vis the
Russians.

—

Various aspects of the competitive
situation are: technological advances,
demonstrations of new weapons such as
guided missiles, progress in institutions
of basic research and fundamental attitudes toward education.
Unfortunately most of us are more
eager for "answers" in terms of the
striking power of spectacular weapons
(or pseudo-weapons such as earth satellites) dian for "questions" concerning
our basic values and their resultant

procedures.
Sputniks I and II and our own satellite project have led to a series of
charges and countercharges about the
status of technological developments
which involve modern weapons, particularly of the missile variety. In modern weaponry, progress is gauged by the
development of certain key components
of complete weapons systems. Let us
examine the score on a few of the components that are involved in the long
range ballistic missiles which are currently so much in the headlines.

�INFORMATION BY TELEMETERING

Telemetering is the operation by which
sends down information by radio
waves from instruments on board a missile or other flying devices. It is essential for the effective development as
well as operation of guided missiles or
satellites. This skill has been highly
developed in this country and has been
used for a number of years in connection with missile developments. Our
telemetering systems are ingenious and
one

reliable.
In die case of our own satellites, we
will have very elaborate instrumentation
on board and an effective system of
telemetering. The instruments involved
are very precise but smaller and much
lighter than those which the Russians
use. Some scientists who have been in
touch with the Russians' experimental
work have reported that that nation has
not yet the ability to make the compact
and lightweight, yet reliable, electronic
equipment that we have. This is not to
belittle Russian progress, for they are
obviously doing some excellent telemetering. However, our scientific progress
in telemetering appears to surpass that
of the Russians.

METALLURGY

The evidence indicates that in metal-

lurgy the two countries are about even.
The Russians have excellent light alloys
for aircraft and missiles and excellent
high temperature alloys which they use
in their jet engine construction. Each
country has samples of the other's
metals. The physical properties of the
alloys used for particular purposes arc
very much the same. As far as I know,
there is no direct information on the
construction or materials of the rocket
chambers which are used to launch their
satellites and guided missiles, but obviously the Russians have developed
effective materials. From the evidence
in hand, I would say the score in metallurgy is probably tied.

ROCKET THRUST

With the present known state of the
art of rocketry and with the commonly
available fuels and oxidants to put a
satellite on orbit, the gross weight of the
complete rocket assembly needs to be
about 1,000 pounds for each pound of a

Intercontinental missiles have made hypersonic flight (over 5 times the speed of
sound) of immediate importance. To study the effect of hypersonic speeds on materials
and structures and to determine the aerodynamics of hot gases encountered in hypersonic flow, facilities like the ones shown above are being utilized in research laboratories. An early version of a Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory hypersonic shock tube
is in action. Airflow reached Mach 13. (13 times the speed of sound at sea level).

satellite body. This weight does not include that of the case of the last rocket
stage which might also continue in orbit,
as in the case of Sputnik I. In the case of
the American Project Vanguard, a satellite of some 21/2 pounds is to be placed
on orbit and the whole rocket ensemble,
with fuel, will weigh something over
20,000 pounds.

Obviously, the rocket thrust must be
somewhat greater than the weight. Hence
one can make an estimate of the thrust
required for the Russian experiments.
In the case of Vanguard which is to deliver the 21/2 pound satellite, the first
stage rocket will produce 27,000 pounds
thrust. Sputnik I is reliably reported to
weigh about 180 pounds. Hence, the
rocket thrust required must be somewhere between 200,000 and 250,000
pounds. If Sputnik II weighs half a ton,
as reported, then the Russians must have
rocket systems with a thrust in the
neighborhood of a million pounds. When
one puts all the evidence together, he
concludes that the Russians have produced rockets of greater thrust than ours
and that they are probably ahead of us
in overall rocket development.

RE-ENTRY PROBLEMS
If something is to be brought back
from outside the atmosphere, some special means must be provided for withstanding the heat generated as it reenters the earth's blanket of air. Otherwise, the object will melt or bum up.
This is the re-entry problem. There are
various ways of approaching it. One is
to slow down the object by ingenious
devices over a relatively long period of
time in order to reduce the temperatures. Another way is to provide a "heat
sink" which will absorb the heat generated for a few seconds, without destruction of the body. A- third is to
utilize materials which have such high
temperature resistance that they will not
melt. Naturally, all three approaches

are being explored.
In a recent telecast, President Eisenhower displayed an American missilenose cone which had been on a trip
several hundred miles into space, had
returned to the atmosphere at a velocity
of many thousand miles per hour, and
survived without damage. This is evidence that we are making very satisfactory progress in solving this problem.

�Although the Russians, through newsre-

leases, have hinted that they have solved
the re-entry problem, there is no direct
evidence to support the claim. I would
judge from the facts in hand that we
are somewhat ahead of the Russians on
the re-entry problem.
ACCURACY IN ORBIT

When a satellite is launched into space,
it must not only have the requisite
velocity around the earth (some 18,000
miles per hour), it must also be pointed
in the proper direction. This calls for
an accuracy of orientation of about 1°
of arc. Since there are 360° in a circle,
this would indicate that the Russians
have a guidance and control system
which will give them an accuracy of at
least one part in a few hundred. Thus,
Russians have demonstrated a reasonable capability of achieving sufficient
accuracy for guided missiles. In order
to hit a target with a ballistic missile,
not only must the direction of travel be
accurately controlled, the velocity at the
time of "cut-off" of the thrust must also
be controlled minutely. This adds complexity to the problem. We have some
guidance systems which are inherently
very accurate and can meet the requirements. Matching this, the Russians have
made commendable progress in produce
tion of guidance systems of moderate
accuracy, as evidenced the Sputnik successes. Ours which are still in development are probably somewhat more refined, but the Russians are probably
already in small scale production on
theirs.

This is a photograph of the possible missile configuration re-entering atmosphere
where problems of drag and friction arise. Here the missile's nose is deflected downward from the true flight path of the missile. The luminosity about the missile model
illustrates the danger of an unstable penetration into the atmosphere. Should a
missile or rocket enter the atmosphere in such a position, it would burn up quickly.

PRODUCTION RECORD

From the evidence, it would appear
that the Russians are producing, or are
about to produce, intermediate-range
missiles (IRBM's) of 1,000 to 1,500
miles range and in the not distant future
these could be fired on targets with at
least moderate accuracy. There is no evidence that they have yet advanced to the
point of successful production of intercontinental ballistic missiles. (ICBM's)
But because of military secrecy it is hard
to say how far, if any, their ICBM program is ahead of ours.
THE SCORE
The summing up of the current military situation is about as follows. In
satellites, the Russians are substantially

�ahead of us. In some components of
guided missile systems they are ahead
of us; in others we are out in front. In
the total ballistic missile systems they
are in the lead at the present time. Does
this mean that the Soviet Union has a
greater military striking power than the
United States? Of course not, and there
is no reason to be frantic. In spite of
the success of Sputniks and the Russian
missile program, the United States, because of the highly effective bombers of
the Strategic Air Command and our system of overseas bases, still has the
greater retaliatory power.
Although that sounds comforting, it
should lull no one into complacency.
With still further Russian progress in
ballistics missiles that balance of power
could be reversed very rapidly. To
maintain our security we must continue
to advance in those many factors which
determine defensive potential: extensive
research, varied weapons, diversity of
forces, sizable armies, broad distribution
of bases, healthy industrial growth,
strong liaison with dependable allies,
and an enlightened public.

MISSILES AND STRATEGY

Vanguard, the satellite launching rocket designed and built by The Martin Company,
is as tall as a seven-story building. The rocket shown here is a test vehicle in its
giant gantry-crane structure at Cape Canaveral, Florida. Before a test rocket takes off,
the gantry structure is rolled back on tracks. The cable tower, left, holds power lines.

TheB-61 Martin Matador pilotless bomber is the initial equipment for the Ist Pilotless
Bomber Squadron (Light) at the USAF Missile Test Center, Cocoa, Fla. The Matador
is the first operational unit of its kind in the Air Force.

One thing is crystal clear, that, whatever the cost in effort and dollars, we
must be equipped and prepared in every
way to fight limited as well as global
wars. Since the Communist Bloc has
seen fit to continue "local incidents"
and "brush fire wars," we must meet
them on this ground with whatever
weapons are necessary for the situation.
We seem to be in agreement with the
Russians that guided missiles are very
valuable weapons for use in limited as
well as global wars.
In most of the limited wars which

we can now anticipate becoming engaged in, it is almost certain that at
times our troops will be greatly outnumbered. It will be necessary to deploy our men and equipment to almost
any part of the world very rapidly.
Therefore, unless we can maintain a
family of weapons that are substantially
more effective than those of any enemy,
we will find ourselves in awkward if not
untenable situations. Hence, it is most
essential that the development of guided
missiles for limited war be pointed toward achieving the greatest possible
capability in:
(1) increased effectiveness per man,
(2) increased effectiveness per pound,

�versatility in order to
cope with a great variety of situations with a limited number of
types of missiles.
To satisfy these requirements the
American ground forces have ready at
the present time the following group of
ground-launched guided missiles:
1. Dart—a limited-range wire-guided
missile designed particularly for
anti-tank use.
2. Lacrosse —a highly accurate missile carrying a very substantial
warhead, electronically guided to
the target by a forward observer.
3. Corporal—a 75 mile range ballistic missile with inertial guidance.
4. Redstone—a 200 mile range ballistic missile with inertia! guidance.
5. Nike-Ajax and Nike-Hercules

extreme

—

electronically guided anti-aircraft
missiles for medium to high alti-

tude targets.
6. Hawk—an electronically guided,
low-level anti-aircraft missile.
There are several other missiles in the
American armory—such as air-to-air and
air-to-ground varieties that could play a
role in limited war, but the above six
are probably most important at the present time. They make up the first generation of a well-balanced and effective
family, carefully planned for fulfilling
the ground forces needs.
These developments should not, and
undoubtedly will not, remain static:
constant improvements must be made in
simplicity of operations, reliability, light
weight, lethality and accuracy. As time
goes on, some members of the family
will probably be dropped as obsolete to
be replaced by more advanced and effective weapons. The slow, difficult and
expensive program of constant improvement of weapons must go on, because
if we are to be outnumbered and outweighed we must be in a position to
out-smart potential enemies. You do
that by having better weapons. We can
have better weapons only by maintaining scientific and technological leadership in military as well as civilian affairs.
SCIENTIFIC LEADERSHIP
The more complicated war has become, the more important has been the
role of the scientist, the inventor, and
the engineer. The battle of the laboratory, the design room, and the shop

leads to rapid changes to the equipment

and materials of war. For example, the

success of the atomic bomb demonstrated in no uncertain terms that the
long-haired scientists did know what
they were talking about and it became
evident that any nation which intended
to lead in military affairs must have an
effective and continuing research and
development program.
A common fallacy in our thinking in
solving big problems is that big money
is the short-cut and is all that is needed.
Actually a great deal of money has been
spent on defense programs, so the solutions probably lie through proper distribution of the cash and scientific effort.
That distribution of money and effort
can be improved.
In our budget levelling-off process last
year, the military research and development program was unduly injured—perhaps seriously. In a budget squeeze it is
a common fiscal formula to reduce all
activities of a department or programby
the same degree. This is easy but not
rational, since it bypasses the question:
what most needs to be done?
One reason the development of new
weapons is so expensive is that we do
not do an adequate amount of research
before we begin building prototypes. In
nearly all the developments there have
been many unanswered technical questions which, with foresight, could have
been solved through the research route
several years before. The progress of a

development may stop while some sticky
little problem is being solved, but the
expense goes on and on. To handle such
situations I feel it is most important that
our military program give increased emphasis on what I choose to call "background research and development" and
thus solve many of our problems before
they hit us in the face.
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND
EDUCATION

How can we be assured of continuing
research leadership? To educate the
host of young men and women who can
be tomorrow's scientists and engineers
will be difficult, and it will be expensive.
The problem starts with the high
schools. There are many accusations
that the education provided in our secondary schools is too superficial to meet
the needs. Through better motivation,
perhaps compulsion, more of the youngsters should be induced, or perhaps
forced, to take good, solid courses in
elementary mathematics'and science. I
believe that these arguments are sound.
We do need to educate many more of
our intelligent young people in the
mathematical and scientific disciplines.
To do the task as it should be will cost
money. It will call for many more good
science and mathematics teachers in the
secondary schools than we now have. It

�will take effort and resolution on the
part of school authorities as well as
money. It won't be easy but it can be
done if there is an adequate national
will.
Improved secondary education in
science and mathematics will not have
any impact on the improvement of the
national scientific research picture for
quite a few years to come. Hence, it is
of even greater importance at the moment to bolster the structure of scientific
and engineering education in the colleges and universities at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The problems involved are money, teachers and
facilities. Actually, the latter two could
b.^ resolved in a reasonable length of
time if adequate financial support of
higher education were available. The
necessary funds can come from governmental sources—local, state and federal
—from individuals and from industry.
Industry has been steadily increasing its
support of higher education during the
past few years, but it must invest much,
much more if the challenge is to be met.
Will the necessary funds be forthcoming? The answer is up to the various
segments of the American public. America cannot evade the issue, even though
it attempts to shirk in providing the
solution.
Further, in the furor of the moment
over science and technology we must not
allow our educational pattern to become
unbalanced. Although, at the moment,
we are most concerned with military
matters, we must always remember that
we are engaged in a long-time struggle
for men's minds. This calls for sound
background and thinking in the humanities, in the arts and in all the basic
professions. If we neglect or underemphasize these fields it will be at our
ultimate peril.
Any argument that says we cannot
afford to support our colleges and universities adequately is not valid. Last
year the nation spent less than eighttenths of one per cent of the gross national product on all higher education,
in both tax supported and non-tax supported institutions. We spent 50 per cent
more than that on tobacco and two and
one-half times as much on alcoholic
beverages. I am by no means decrying
the appropriate use of tobacco and alcohol. I am simply saying that if America
really wants to maintain its status in the
world by doing what is necessary for
higher education, it will certainly be
able to foot the bill.

A graduate student in the College of Arts and Sciences conducts experimentation
in high-vacuum technique. It is this type of post-graduate education that is so
important to produce the number of scientists to meet the present industrial demands.
WHERE DO WE STAND?
In our total national strength, where
do we stand? In satellites and the longrange ballistic missiles field the Russians
are ahead. In over-all military retaliatory power the United States is still
ahead of the Russians, but the Russians
are coming up very rapidly. They are
also moving very rapidly in education in
science and engineering, with emphasis
on research in both basic and applied
science. They are now graduating two
to three times as many scientists and
engineers each year as we are. These
graduates are well trained although often
over-specialized and narrow in terms of
a balanced background.
In industrial production capacity
America is far ahead of Russia.
We also still hold the lead in general
quality and quantity of scientific research, but the Russians are confident
that they can overtake and pass us in a
relatively few years in scientific and

technical fields, for both military and
industrial purposes. This means that
America must meet this challenge by
harnessing its educational and scientific
potential to maintain its leading position. The development of the Sputniks
shows that the Russians can surpass us
in certain fields if they concentrate on
them. This is the stimulus which we
needed to jar us out of our feeling of
false security.
As far as scholars in universities are
concerned, it is their essential spirit that
they are never satisfied with what they
know. We at The University of Buffalo
are imbued with a constant zeal to extend the frontiers of knowledge in all
fields. The unimpairedpursuit of knowledge is the real source of the ultimate
national strength. If the American public as a whole can be brought to realize
this, and act accordingly, we can face
the future with confidence
but not
with complacency.

�Lane Bryant Award

to-A.P.F.M.E.
Medical Participating Fund Termed "a refreshing switch"
The Ninth Lane Bryant Annual
Awards for volunteer service to the
community were presented at a luncheon
at the Hotel Pierre in New York City
on November 14 by Raphael Molsin,
president of Lane Bryant, Inc., before
a group of more than 300 leaders in
social, welfare, civic, educational and
business fields.
Established in 1948 the Lane Bryant
Annual Awards were conceived to inspire and encourage voluntary participation in efforts that benefit the American
home and community life. The awards
of one thousand dollars are given
one
to an individual and one to a group for
the most outstanding volunteer service
rendered to the community during the
year.
Those receiving the 1956 Awards
were: Danny Kaye, Beverly Hills, California, $1,000, Individual Award for
his work on behalf of the United
ChildrensFund, UNICEF, for which he
has traveled 100,000 miles in three trips
around the world; and The Allegheny
Conference on Community Development,
$1,000, Group Award, for an intensified
program of development in Allegheny

.

of The University of Buffalo based
upon pledges of annual $100 units from
physicians.

In presenting the award to the
Medical Participating Fund, Mr. Molsin
said, "The average doctor gives considerable free service through hospital
clinics and sometimes privately. He
often feels that this is enough to ask of
him. The usual medical drive is powered
by laymen—boards of trustees or ad hoc
lay groups. In Buffalo we have seen a
refreshing switch. The University medical faculty needed strengthening to an
extent that no one campaign could
satisfy. Physicians themselves, under the
leadership of Dr. Edgar C. Beck, joined
to form a group, alumni of The University and others. They met for fifty consecutive weeks, raised funds in units of
$100 from four out of five practicing
doctors in Erie County, raised $200,000
in this way, inspired others to give, and
finally helped obtain a climactic bequest
of $10,000,000. Salaries in the basic
sciences were supported and the faculty
enlarged with educators of high calibre.
Collaboration between the medical

school and the area physicians was improved. Standards of medical practice
and public health have been raised. The
Fund still exists. As an example of a
rather unique effort in successfully solving a major local problem that has
national import, I am privileged to cite

for Honorable Mention for the Lane
Bryant Award the Executive Committee
of the Annual Participating Fund for
Medical Education, The University of

Buffalo.
In accepting the award on behalf of
the Executive Committee, Dr. Edgar C.
Beck, MD '19, said, "The Annual
Participating Fund for Medical Education greatly appreciates this honor which

you have bestowed upon us. Our Committee believes that those who truly
deserve this recognition are the physicians, alumni, non-alumni alike, whose
enthusiasm and support have made
possible this vital undertaking.
The word, "participating", in Annual Participating Fund means just that.
Members are kept in close touch with
the affairs of the School of Medicine and
their opinions are highly regarded by
the Dean and his staff.
In a very tangible way, physicians
have shown their awareness of their responsibility for educating the doctors of
the future. Their example has stimulated others in the community to help
support our Medical School. Although
a great deal has been accomplished, the
medical men alone cannot do the entire
job. Medical education needs further
support from all possible sources if we
are to graduate highly trained physicians
capable of safeguarding the health of
the American public."

County, Pennsylvania.

The Honorable Mention, Individual
Awards,

went to

Wilbur Warner, Le-

highton, Pennsylvania for his many and
diverse contributions to his community
and to Norman Cousins, New Canaan,
Connecticut, for his work with the
famous Hiroshima Maidens, twenty-five
girls who were brought to the United
States for plastic surgery.
The Executive Committee of the Annual Participating Fund for Medical
Education of The University of Buffalo
was given the Honorable Mention Group
Award for its support of the School of
Medicine and enlarging and deepening
the understanding between the faculty
of the Medical School and practicing
physicians in the area. The Committee
established a program of support for
salaries in the basic science departments

Newsletter

special supplement has. been prepared by the office of University Development to acquaint Alumni
with interesting sidelights concerning the growth of the University. Additional supplements will follow.

This

Dear Alumnus:
There are older universities than The University of Buffalo (in fact, we
are pretty young as universities go); there are larger ones and a few
more widely known. But you must agree, there are no better ones.
So let's start with what really matters; you are quite proud to be numbered among The University of Buffalo Alumni
and happy to see the
University on the threshold of a great new era, one in which you play an
important role.

...

A good example of this is that all of the 22 alumni members of the University Council and the 19 members of the Executive Committee of the
General Alumni Board are optimistic enough about the University's future
to have in each case pledged generously to the Development Campaign.

Faculty and Staff support in the campaign is promising to date. This we
expected, as the loyalty of our Faculty and Staff is well-known.
The Students kicked-off their campaign with a benefit performance of
"The Drunkard", presented in conjunction with the Blue Masquers and
the Drama and Speech Department.
Charles H. Diefendorf, general campaign chairman, told the enthusiastic
audience at the kick-off dinner (see inside page) that $4, 700, 000 already
had been pledged. "We are approximately 50% of the way tonight, "he said.

To all the early contributors of the campaign we express our thanks. We
hope in the near future to be able to report 100% participation of other
divisions in our University family.
CORRECTION!
This Development Newsletter reported erroneously in the last issue certain percentages for potential sources of Capital Funds in the present
drive. We would like to confirm the policy established by the Campaign
Committee to the effect that: NO SET QUOTA WAS ESTABLISHED OR
IS EXPECTED TO BE RAISED BY THE FACULTY, ADMINISTRATION,

consultant to the personnel departments
of numerous industries during and following World War 11.
In 1947, Dr. Cantor was asked by
UNESCO to participate in its study of

"education for international understanding."

Dr. Nathaniel Cantor, chairman of

the department of sociology at the
University, and a member of the faculty
since 1928, died on December 4 at his
home in Buffalo.
Dr. Cantor was a 1928 graduate of
the University Law School. He also
held a bachelor's degree from Columbia
University in 1921 and a PhD degree
from Columbia in 1925.
During his 29 years at the University,
Dr. Cantor won world wide recognition
as an expert on sociology, criminology
and teaching.
Early in his career he won recognition as a criminologist through two
books, "Crime, Criminals and Criminal
Justice" and "Crime and Society." He
studied prison conditions and crime
first hand both in the United States and

Europe.

Later in his

career, Dr. Cantor's interest expanded to include the human

relations aspect of education. He pio-

game.
Alumni were in a gay mood after
Buffalo's 13-6 victory over Temple.
The hospitality of the Union League
was incomparable and, at the reception,
alumni and University representatives
became well acquainted.
Unfortunately Chancellor Furnas had
a prior engagement and could not attend
dinner, but he was well represented by
Mrs. Furnas, who spoke after dinner
about the recent development of the
University, the new buildings, and some
of the proposed changes.
Dr. Edgar B. Cale, director of development, and Dr. D. Lincoln Harter,
director of information services, amplified Mrs. Furnas' comments. Ted Siekmann, director of alumni relations, told
of current alumni projects and stressed
the importance of alumni in the Capital
Gifts Campaign.
The alumni were called upon by Dr.
Edmond J. Farris, BA'29, president of
the Club and dinner chairman. Each
alumnus gave enthusiastic approval of
'"Frontier U", a new University film
they viewed after dinner.
The alumni expressed their opinions
regarding maintenance of the excellent
scholastic record of the University and
the improvement of the athletic teams
and schedules to keep pace with the
academic growth of the University.

Road Wins Successful Formula
Harvard, Columbia Next Year
The success or failure of a football
season can depend upon, or be affected
by, a number of things including tough
luck, bad breaks, weather, injuries, how
well the team did last year, calibre of
opposition and various factors too
numerous to list.
Some of these reasons are good
excuses for the coach, some are valuable
cover up material for the publicity
director and some are just downright
truthful but impossible to explain to
enthusiastic alumni who have waited so
long for at least a 9-0 season.
Two years ago The University of
Buffalo football team under the direction
of Coach Dick Offenhamer, then in his
first year of coaching here, had a 4-4-1
record, quite an improvement over the
2-7 record the year before. Last year
against stiffer competition the Bulls
compiled a 5-3 record. This year, against
the toughest competition the Bulls have
seen in years, they ended the season with
5 victories and 4 defeats.
To many victory starved alumni this
record does not spell success. But neither
will this year's one loss record by Oklahoma please many of the Sooner alumni.
The point I think we must remember is
that success should not have to depend
on a ftawtess or near flawless record, but
whether or not the team has given its
best againstrepresentative competition.
This year's success was indicated in
one way by the rise of some individual
stars. The most notable of these was
Fran Woidzik, the 240 pound tackle
from Elmira who did an outstanding
job game after game and was suitably
recognized by being chosen as an outstanding lineman of the week in the
East, on two different occasions, and
placed on the All-East team both times.
Joe O'Grady, a guard, also won a
berth on the All-East team for his play
against Wayne State. Nick Bottini,
probably the most improved player on
the squad, was brilliant week after week

their rivalries and Bucknell appears
once again, this time as a home game.

and will be making a bid as one of the
foremost ends in the East when he returns for next year's gridiron wars. Jim
Allegretto, a sophomore quarterback,
saw plenty of action this season and
will be heard from in the future as he
gains additional stature with more ex-

perience.

Even though some stars were bom,
others, as a result of injuries, never had
an opportunity to mature and this fact
gave Coaches Offenhamer, Kluckhohn
and Dunlop reasons to grieve on many
Saturdays.
Bill Brogan, a highly touted sophomore fullback, was injured early in the
season and missed the final 7 games.
Jim Gibbons, a veteran end, was out the
entire season with a broken jaw. Other
players who met with mishaps were
Dick VanValkenburg and Jim Keats,
experienced backs, out most of the
season; first string tackle Gordon DeMasi, out the last three games with a
broken arm; tackle Jack Welch, out the
first six games; tackle Bernie Fagan,
injured for three crucial games and

Willie Evans and Ken Born, backs

out

for two games with injuries. These injuries kept the Bulls physically under
par for the entire season.
So success under these conditions depended on hard work, team spirit and
a little intestinal fortitude, a trio of
attributes demonstrated time and time
again by the Bulls.
There are times when the success
of a parent in enhanced by the success
of its offspring. The 1957 Baby Bulls,
under the able direction of Ron LaRocque with the aid of former Buffalo
Bill lineman, Jack Carpenter, made
their varsity counterparts proud of them
by compiling a perfect 4 and 0 record.
The big hurdle in the opposition, Manlius, fell 19-7 before the freshman on-

slaught.
A few names to remember on the
freshman squad are Gordon Bukaty and

Another year of Dr. Furnas' five year
athletic plan has passed. The fortunes
of University of Buffalo football have
progressed in each of the first three years
and Dr. Furnas believes we are even a
bit ahead of schedule. Success is measured by the progress we are making and
1957 was certainly a year of progress.
Perhaps 1958 will be even more successful.

Len Serfustini, coach of The University of Buffalo basketball "Bulls" will go
this year with a squad dominated by
sophomores and juniors.
With these relatively inexperienced
ballplayers, "Serf" will be out to better
last year's 18-7 record and a post season
bid to tournament competition.
In the workouts prior to the opening
game on December 2, Coach Scrfustini
was extremely pleased with the progress
his boys had made and especially their
hustle on defense and rebounding. He
expects the offense to take a bit longer
to jell and is sure it will straighten out
as the boys gain experience working to-

gether.

every quarterback that Buffalo faced
this year.

Fran had a particularly good day
against Lchigh and it was his play that
accounted for the poor showing of the
highly-touted Lehigh quarterback, Dan

Fran is giving plenty of thought to the

Big, fast, and smart, Fran may have just
what it takes to make the pro grade.

The mouth and the ear: the transmitter and receiver for correcting

speech problems.
Although mechanical and electronic devices have been efficiently
utilized in speech therapy, nothing is more effective in correcting speech
deficiencies than hearing the human voice make the distinction between
the good and the poor sound.

Dr.

{Catherine Thorn,director of the Universitys Speech
Clinic,is workingwith a patient who

stutters. Thepatient is using the telephone to
practice speech techniques and to check on
her ability to do this in a "live" speaking situation.

of all the English language sounds, the
use of combinations of words, vocal inflections Uater to be lowered in pitch),
and the basic rhythmic patterns of speech.
At timeshe mayneed reminders of vocabulary usage,and control of volume, but
he's "on his way."
A u-n-vear-old Speech Clinic is likejv
to show some crow-ins pains, some stabilization of program, and some promise of
future development. As in the child with
a speech disorder, a Clinic just doesn't
"grow out of it." but responds most successfullvto the appropriate kinds of attention and guidance which will ensure
its program's future.

pected

Attention and planning have been centered on three phases of the Clinic's operation. Since the first function of the
Clinic was stated at the time of its establishment: to provide speech therapy for
University students who had speechproblems, the Clinic has given priority to
them. A screening test of speech has been
given to over 5.000 University students.
with recommendations to those students
who could profit from individual or small
group speech therapy, or from class work

in Drama and Speech courses. Students
who had voice problems, stuttering,articulation defects, or speech problems associated with cleft palate, cerebral palsy,
or hearing loss have used the services of
the Speech Clinic.
The second function of the Clinic was
to provide an opportunity for students
majoring in the department of Drama
and Speech to learn about speech disorders. There is now a major in speech
pathology which leads to certification by

speech therapist Janet Ciura.'59. works

Speech Clinic was to provide speech help
for out-patients from the community.
Facilities for speech therapy are extremely limited in the Niagara frontier
area, so the Clinic has received many requests for help from physicians, schools,
and agencies such as the New York State
Vocational Rehabilitation Division. The
kinds of speech problems have included
cleft palate speech, aphasiaresulting from
a stroke or other brain damage, loss of
voice from laryngectomy, stuttering, and
retarded speech development in young
children. Special summer clinics have
offeredconcentrated programsfor many
of these people. The Clinic has also been
the means of referring patients to physicians,otolaryngologists, audiologists, psychiatrists, and others.
With a small staff, augmented occasionally by "importations" of qualified
people for short-term help, the program
has developed beyond expectations in

�he grows up, so the University Speech
Clinic envisages a much-needed graduate
degree program to help prepare people
for the jobs which must remain unfilled
because of the local and national shortage
of trained speech therapists. Such a program obviously requires additional staff
and space, but the benefitsin terms of research projects that could be undertaken
further justifies its establishment. The development of improved equipment for
use in speech therapy, such as recording
equipment and amplification machines
adds another burden to a budget. Fortunately, in 1958, a Language-Master
was presented to the Clinic. This electronic device provides auditory and visual

stimulation for speech therapy with children and with brain-damaged adults.
The local chapter of theKiwi Club (a national organization of ex-airline hostesses), recognizing our need, and interested in aiding handicapped people,
earned the moneyto purchase this equipment which they donated to the Clinic.
In some ways the rhythm and pace of
the Clinic's growth has been too rapid
for the small staff to manage; yet, to
labor the analogy, the Speech Clinic has
been learning to "articulate" fairly well
with other professional groups, and to
shout or keep quiet at appropriate times

secondary, and tertiary authors
The(hereafterreferredprimary,
toas P,S,&amp; T authors) has been a matter
selection of

of serious discussion since the European invention of printing
from movable type, circa 1440.0
Under the former system of printing from engraved wood
blocks,the idea of more than one author amounted to a logical
absurdity. When an author had to sit down and whack out a
treatise on some subject with sharp instruments,the hazards to
fingers would be greatly increased if two or more pairs of hands
swung hammers and chisels with reckless abandon at the same
wood block.
I rather agree with Morgan in Author/Author/*® who states:
"This question never arose prior to 1440 A.D. because of the
danger involvedin engraving wood blocks." It would be interesting to know definitely whether or not the publishing world
of that era, faced with the threat of giving rise to a race of
fingerless descendants,did not find in this problem the incentive
necessaryto bring about the invention of movable-typeprinting.

Conflicting Claims Among the Yodelers
To date, no conclusive evidence has been uncovered to place
definitely the first debate about the selection of P, S, &amp; T
authors. The question seems to have sprunginto existence coinstantaneously throughout Europe. In Switzerland,it became a
subject of conversationshortly afterBerthold Ruppel introduced
printing in 1472. However, since his initial effort was the reproduction of currentiy popular yodel calls, it was to be expected that there would be several claimants to the creation of
each of the five or six calls that he reproduced. In a country as
thickly populated with yodelers as Switzerland, it is not uncommon to find dozens of people who. in all good faith, are
convinced that each one is the true originator of a single yodel
call.
Dr. Thomas E. Connolly is assistant professor of English at the University. He received his BS degree from Fordham University in 1939, his MA
and PhD degreesfrom the University of Chicagoin 1947and 1951 respectively.
Dr. Connolly taught at Loyola University in Chicago, the University of
Idaho and Creighton University before coming to Buffalo in 1953.
Oneof Dr. Connolly's most noted projects while at the University has
been his compilation of the bibliography of the James Joyce Library.

In Holland, theearliest example ofjoint publication occurred
in 1473. N. Ketelaer and G. de Leempt were the first Dutch
printers to place their names in a printed book of their own production. This fact has proved a point of much discussion
throughout the years.Did they jointly write the book or did
they merely jointly print it? The answer is locked in history.
Spain had a comparative lack of equivocation over P, S, &amp;
T authors for almost a century after that country's first known
printer, Lambert Palmert, started operating in Valencia in
1475. Lambert concentrated mainly on printinglaundry tickets
and betting formsfor local bookmakers who functioned in the
vicinity of the bullfighting arena near his shop.

QuarrelsBegan with Newspaper Reviews?
Thus we see that, although noone knows exactiy who started
quibbling about precedence in authorship, the problem did
arise sometime after man learned to print from movable type.
This author has a personal theory, admittedlyscientifically insupportable, that the question did not arise until after the first
crude newspapers began to include reviews in their pages.
However, we find in Fothergill's "Civil Casesin England in
the Year 1532"(3J the statement that in that year there were
51 suits in the English civil courts brought by secondary or
tertiary authors against primary authors. In almost every case
the courts decided in favor of the primary authors. Fothergill
contends that the courts were influencedby the large type in
which the primary author's name was usually printed. This, of
course, is pure conjecture.
In a subject of such wide scope and interest literallythousands
of systems have been proposed and used. For the present purpose, the four most popular methods will be studied.
The Alphabetical Arrangement Method is, perhaps, the
oldest on record. As such, it has been exposed to more criticism
than any of the other systems that have developedat later dates.
This system is as simple as its name implies: the authors are
listed alphabeticallyby last name, first name, and middle initial.
An interesting case arose in 1893, when Aaron A. Adams,
Sr. and Aaron A. Adams, Jr., both of Greybull, Wyoming, and
both staunch advocates of the Alphabetical Arrangement
Method, decided jointly to publish a paper on the History of
the Ipswich SwampLegend. Adams,Sr. claimed that, since the
rules in this method extended only to the middle initial and as

7

�they were both even to that point, parenthood and seniority
governed, and he,Sr., should appear as primary author.
Adams,Jr., however, presented a brilliant argumentclaiming
that, implicitly, therule extended to titles following the name.
He cited as precedent the case of Albert E. Jones; B.S.vs Albert
E. Jones. Ph.D. (the men were first cousins, the Ph.D. being
four years older). In that case, the publishing board of Upper
Swarthmoreruled in favor of Jones. B.S. Adams, Jr. won his
case, but. to us. the case has only academic interest, for the
journal that had accepted the manuscript went bankruptshortly
before publication and the article never appeared in print.

The holder mentioned above may be used with the addition of
a small gadget that sells for 50c.
The Wild GeeseFlying or In-Order-of-Rank Method is, perhaps, the most widelyused system of selecting P, S, &amp; Tauthors.
It is quite simple in operation and presents a minimum amount
of controversy. The Chief or Director of the unit in which the
publication originates always appears as senior author. After
him, the other authors and whoever else might be handy follow
in order of position or rank, until everyone,includingthe office
boy who carried the manuscript to the printer, has been included. Sometimesthe office boy merely receives an acknowledgment.

Lower Half of Alphabet Suffers
The Alphabetical Arrangement Method received its severest
blow when Zachary Zimmerman obtained a writ of mandamus
in the New York Supreme Court(4) restraining the publishing
houses of that state from using this method. Judge Xenophon
Yanz upheld his claim that the method was discriminatory and
prejudicial to the interests of a certain class of individuals, viz..
the lower half of the alphabet.
The Short-StrawSelectionSystem and the Coin-Flip Method
might be simultaneously considered since they are essentially
identical in principle. The only fundamentaldifferences between the two are the medium of selection and the limitation
on the number of authors selected.
The first differenceneed not be seriously considered,but the
second difference does introduce certain problems. There is
nocause for concern when only two authors are involved, but
three or more authors complicate the picture. The Coin-Flip
Method could conceivably be used when there are three authors; this system, however, becomes absolutely impractical
with more than three.
For three, the following method might be used. Ifthe coin
stands on end. the one tossing it becomes senior author. The
other two are chosen by heads and tails. Much time is wasted,
however. I have known of a case that continued for 23 days
beforeone author finallysucceeded in standing the coin on end.
After that, the second and third positions were settled in short
order.
Two variations of the Short-Straw System are in use. As
lengths
many straws as there are authors are cut in graduated
and are drawn from the hand of an impartial bystander, the
shortest being the primary author and so on until the one who
draws the longest straw is designated last author.

Straw Holder Commercially Available
A commercial firm turns out a handy little straw holder for
use in case no impartial bystander is available. Itsells for $1.69
and holds up to ten good-sized straws/6) The other method is

have all the straws but one the same size. The first one to
draw the short straw is primary author. Then the remaining
people re-draw to determine the succeeding authors. One straw
(not the short one) is dropped beforeeach subsequentdrawing.

The problem of precedence of authorship seems to have
sprung into existence throughout the world shortly after the
invention of movable type, and cannot, therefore,be attributed
to any one class or group as a cultural trait as some authorities
have implied.
The author of this article has settled the problem for himself
by always publishingindividuallyregardless of the importance
of the contributions of others. Occasionally credit acknowledgments have been made, but only in those cases where
physical violence would otherwise have been unavoidable.

"""pHE annual Participating Fund for
*" Medical Education, an extremely influential and successfulorganization in
the field of medical education, was

furnished a list of physicians placing the
calls, as well as the physician to be called,
with the idea that as soon as one call was
completed the next would be immedi-

thrown a challenge that would have set
back on its heels a lesser group. Near and
dear to the hearts of the executive committee of this fund was the establishment
of a new department of Medical BioPhysics, one of the first to be established
in any university in the country.
Chancellor Furnas agreed to the establishment of this new department with one
stipulation —that the fund agree to raise
annually an additional $20,000 net to
help financethe cost of the project. Members of the fund were already supplying
the school of medicine approximately
S90000 annually to support the teaching
of the basic sciences.
The executive committee agreed and
immediately went to work. They hit
upon the idea of along distance telephone
campaign which would enable the 15
members of the executive committee to
talk personally to approximately 700
alumni all over the country who were
not yet Participating Fund members.
Calls were to be made every other Friday during November and December,a
total of four sessions,amounting to approximately 10 long distance calls per
physician per session.
Arrangements were made to install 7
outside lines in the development office
and the aid of the phone company was
enlisted. The telephone company was

ately placed.
Each physician called was asked to
subscribe one unit of SIOO annually for

the balance of their lives to the Fund. The
executivecommittee member placing the
call suggested to the prospect that he
allow the pledge to be signed for him byproxy and a copy be sent the prospect for

approval.

As the time for the first telephone calls
drew near, it was uncertain whether they
would even make expenses. After all.
long distance phone calls cost money,
particularly when the coverageis to be
nation wide.
Results of the first afternoon dispersed
all doubts. Of the 150 phone calls placed
approximately one third signedby proxy
and all but a few of the remaining requested that the card be sent and they
would sign and return it. Outright refusalswere less than 10%.
Competition was keen among the
physicians, each trying to outdo the
others in the number of new members
brought into the Fund. The second series
of calls were more successful
than the first,
with approximately 50%signing byproxy.
Results to date of the four completed
sessions;over $21,000 pledged annually
with over $8,000 received in cash. Each
day brings new subscriptions. Total cost
of the telephone calls was approximately

91,000.Analyzed in other terms, it would

require approximately a half million
dollars invested to produce a similar an-

nual income of 520,000.
Why was this campaign so successful?
For one thing the physicians making the
phone calls were completely dedicated,
believed in the product they were selling,
and enjoyedwhat they were doing. There
was a great deal of disbeliefon the part
of the physicians being called that they
were actually hearing from their classmates back in Buffalo. In almost every
case there were questions asked as to how
old friends were faring and what were
recent developments at the Medical
School.
Also noted was the fact that almost
everyphysician called knew of the good
work being done by the Fund and had
actually thought of eventually subscribing
to this worthwhile project. Numerous
news letters and other informational
mailings had been sent to all medical
alumni during, the last three orfour years,
keeping them up to date on fund activities. Result: the public relations was excellent.
Finally, the urgency of establishing,
with a minimum delay, this new and vital
department of Bio-Physics captured the
imaginations of the physicians being
called. Here was a chance to personally
make possible a great new stride in medical research and education.
This was an example of alumni devotion at its best.

the prevention of delinquency

...

Were the
Starkweather

Murders

Necessary?
by

Dr. Richard A. Siggdkow
Dean of Students

12

Come time ago, 19-year-old CharlesStarkweather admitted
murdering 11 persons. He did not even know most of the
human beings he killed. A University of Nebraska criminologist
explained that Starkweather represented "a totally defeated
egowhich had no satisfactory anchorage in social life. Socially,
he was simply an empty man. The only way he could become
importantwas bykilling."
How could this horrible crime, which brutally shattered the
lives of so many innocent people, happen in America, in our
time?
Unheeded danger signals of serious maladjustment in Starkweather's life history were as obvious as a trippedburglar alarm
in broad daylight. From early childhood he displayed belligerent, unco-opcrative attitudes toward authority. Due to inability to refrain from fighting, he was transferred to another
school; one playground battle opened a gash in his opponent
requiring seven stitches to close. He intensely disliked school.
Retarded in reading, his academic record was poor and his
work habits were ineffective.He repeated a grade. He was often
sullen and unhappy.
Children normally like school. When one does not, someone
ought to look honestly and carefully —and quickly—for reasons
why.
His intelligence range,between 80-90. only suggests one possible cause for his difficulties. Any form of personality test—not
needed in lightof the facts—wouldimmediatelyhave identified
him as seriously in need of help.
Most important is his history of rejection from first grade on.
How well a person gets along with others as an adult depends
on how he got along as a child. CharlesStarkweatherwas completely friendlessat every stage of growing up.
All his life he needed acceptance and friends—and these he
never achieved. Although the need to "belong,"to have friends,
and to be important is usually considered most typical of teenagers,the tiny baby needs to feel that he is in friendly surroundings to form a solid foundation for becoming a happy, welladjusted person.
Most children at all levels tend to be conformists,afraid of
what is different. Group influence reaches its first peak with
fourth-graders. Studiesreveal at this level that many unhappy,
insecure, unsuccessfulchildren turn toward juvenile delinquency.A pupil may be "left out" because he is too slow or too
bright, physically handicapped, or merely because he looks,
talks, or dresses differently.
And Charles Starkweather was different. Fellow pupils
awarded him undesirable nicknames because of his small, rather
grotesque figure. Strong glasses may have aided his weak eyesight but did nothing for his appearance. His early speech
development was slow; he had a speech impediment. While in
the primary grades, he underwent an ear operation because of
hearing difficulty.
What influence physical handicaps had on his subsequent
general development and school record we, unhappily, will

never know. Medical or psychiatric help at the proper time,
coupled with assistance by a speech correctionist or understanding teachers, might have changed the tragic direction of this
child's life.
Much professional literature concerns adolescence,during
which children become adults. Boys and girls carefully imitate
companions of their own sex. Being accepted by others of similar agesand both sexes is of foremostimportance. Children unable tc/ attract friends of their own age level settle for those
younger than themselves. Significantly, this 19-year-old youth's
girl, and perhaps his only friend, was a mere child of 14.
Adolescent tensions stem from worry over rejection. Nonconformity reflects itself in appearance, to include leather
jackets and duck-tail haircuts. Obviously, all boys with ducktails are not in trouble widi the police. However, a high proportion of those in trouble follow the duck-tail fad as did ';zootsuiters" a decade ago.Youth takingsuch pains with their hair
are clearly rebelling against something, setting themselves apart
from human society. CharlesStarkweatherdisplayed these external badges of defiancetoward asociety which segregated him.
Any rejected child tries desperately to achieve acceptance.
Unfortunately, his effortsare often so awkward that he usually
managesto widen the chasm between himself and others unless
he receives real help from someone who knows how to bridge
the gap. Repeated failure to recognize certain symptoms as a
child's way of asking for help only forcesredoubled aggressiveness. He continues along the same path with evengreater determination in his desperate search for aid.
We must be aware of the heartaches suffered by those who
are not accepted,remaining ever alert to give outsiders the help
they need somehow to enter the charmed circle. This victim
was never permitted to escape from the role of a social outcast.
Good schools provide learning experiences in which all children
achieve a degree of success, so that potential Charles Starkweathers really do feel that they belong with their class.
Recent eventshave caused concernover therole of our schools
in the space age.We are correctly movingtoward higher standards and increased subject-matter emphasis. At the same time
we cannotignore social and emotional problems of children.

Bulletin

We must find boys and girls who are seriously unhappy and
the causes for this condition. We should search for pupils
whose attendance records indicate difficultiesworthy of further
study. Those whose problems arise out of personal handicaps,
physical defects,language difficulties, or appearances can be
helped. Sincerepersonal interest must be shown children consistently in trouble, as well as those who never succeed in their
work.
Pupils leaving school beforegraduation are often amongthe
rejected. Greater effort must be exerted to find out the real
reasons why children leave school. Did anyone consider that,
when he quit, the only job Charles Starkweatherwas prepared
to do for the rest of his life was the work of a garbage truck
assistant?
Our schools must accept a large share of responsibility for
prevention of delinquency. Severebehavior problems today
should have been identified and treated by specialists when in
the beginning stages several yearsago.Certainly there are many
happy, well-adjusted children who resemble CharlesStarkweather in background, mental ability, and evenin appearance
who are not driven to achieve recognition through extreme
antisocial acts. Classroomteachers need sufficient training at
least to identify those children needing special help. But teachers alone cannotbe expected to deal with such problems beyond
this point and still be held to their primary task of imparting
treat

subject matter.
Any school that succeeds in making a child feelhe really belongs as a respected member of his groupreduces the number
who grow up to be criminal or irresponsible. The value shows
up even more in all the others—who would not be criminals
anyhow—who take their places in the community as more competent workers,better citizens, and happier individuals.
Admittedly, our schools are not presently equipped even to
begin this assignment effectively. It is expensive to provide the
required guidance, psychological, and psychiatric services,although this procedure is much cheaper than expensive court
trials and expanding already inadequate prison facilities.
One question remains: Can any community afford not to
provide adequate guidance services for its children?

For Tournament Bid
Joe Tontillo becomes
sth Highest Scorer
in ÜB's History

Tontillo again sparked the team offensively to a 64-45 victory over Alfred. Bob
Kirchberger chimed in with 12 points on
the Bulls' home

court.

TheBulls swampedBrockport 70 to 56
as Dick Domkowski scored 12, Kirchberger 11 and Kurowski 10. U.B. scored
its most one-sided victory of the season
with a 63-38 win over Hobart at home.
Coach Serfustini used all 15 men in the
rout, with Joe Tontillo scoring 16.

Ray Rosinski,a promising sophomore,
scored his highest to date with a 14 point
performance in ÜB's 70-62 victory over
Buffalo State. Tontillo was again high
for the Bulls with 16.
In the next two gamesthe Bulls ran
into an Ohio ambush. Dr. Len Serfustini
must know how Dick Offenhamer felt
about his lone footballdefeatat the hands
of Baldwin-Wallace. The Yellowjackets
repeated the performance against the
Basketball Bulls. Buffalowas favored over
Baldwin-Wallace butthe outcome did not
make the oddsmakers look good.
The Yellowjackets stung the Bulls
80-74 at their home court in Berea,Ohio.
Kurowski scored well for Buffalo with 18
points. Domkowski had 14, Tontillo 12,
and Shaper 11.
TheBulls really got their fur ruffled in
Akron, Ohio. The Zips handed the
Bulls a 102-58 shellacking, in running
their victory skein to 12 straight. Paul
Mallon was high for Buffalo with 15
points. Akron, reputed to be one of the
finest teams in die nation, showed all
their power in this win.

With a loss to the Quantico
Marines
and a win over Ball State the Basketball
Bulls finished third in the Quantico
Marine Invitational Tournament. Beginning with the Ball Statevictory, Buffalo went ona spree of wins that included
six straight.
They returned from Virginia and
journeyed to Cortland to defeat a tough
Cortiand team 63-60. Dick Shaper and
Joe Tontillo led the way for Buffalo with
18 and 17 points respectively. Perhaps the
real hero was Howie Lewis who held
Cortland's high scoring ace, Condi, to a
mere 7 points.

Kluckhohn Resigns
Coaching Job

Sanders, Kowalski to
Lead Football Bulls
Sam Sandersand Stan Kowalski, a
pair of tough linemen, will captain the
1959 University ofBuffalo Football Bulls.
Coach Dick Offenhamersaid he was
"delighted that the squad honored Stan

and Sam. They're both fine football

players. They possess an abundance of the
qualities for real leadership, innecessary
cluding that all-important ability to inspire their teammates through their own
performance.
"Additionally, both are gentlemen of

the high type every school would like to
have captain its football team."
Sandersis a graduate ofKenmore High
School. Insiders rated him ÜB's outstanding player during the 1958 campaign. He had earned Litde All-American recognition as a guard in 1957.When
Offenhamer was faced with a critical
shortage of tackles at the beginning of the
'58 season, Sanders made the switch,
came through brilliantly, and again
earned Litde All-American mention.
Kowalski hails from Johnsonburg, Pa.
He earned his co-captaincy the hard way.
As a sophomore Stan fought for enough
playing time towin a letter. At the beginning of last season he was just one of a
number of guards. But he hustled all the
time and by the opening game he was
battling for a first string job.
Sandersin majoring in physical education; Kowalski in Business Administration.

Karl Kluckhohn has resigned his post
as football line coach at the University.
The former Colgate All-America end has
accepted a position with Eden Farms
Dairy of Buffalo and Orchard Park.
Kluckhohn, regarded as Head Coach
Dick Offenhamer's"first lieutenant,"was
extremely successful
as line coach. Twice
during his four yeartenureBuffalo topped
the East's small colleges on defense.
CoachOffenhamer said he was "very
sorry" that Karl decided to leave coaching. He expressed belief that Kluckhohn
would have had a great future in football.
Offenhamersaid,"He has the ability and
knowledge of the gameand is an exceptionally able handier of men."
Mike Rhodes will coach the line next
season. Rhodes was end coach last season
and will be replaced at that spot by an

Fable
by

AESOP

Once there was an old man with a weak heart who won fifty thousand

pounds in an English football pool. His family, fearing that the glad news
might prove fatal, called in the vicar to break it to him.

"Now, John," began the vicar cautiously, "supposing you were

to win one

of these big prizes—fifty thousand pounds, say—what would you do with it?"

The old man pondered. "Well, sir," he said, "to start with I'd give you half
of it for the church."

The vicar fell over dead.
Of course, you may not have fifty thousand pounds to give to the Univer-

sity. But, you can still help support your University in a most important way
through the 1959 Alumni Loyalty Fund Campaign.
Bear in mind that you who have cause to be proud ofyour University now
have a means to implement and increase that pride. Your contribution will
go a long way to help make the University an even greater institution.

THE TEACHER:

OUR MOST PRICELESS
NATURAL RESOURCE
With

the realization of the critical problems in the college teaching
profession today, The University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin dedicates
its largest issue in Bulletin history to the College Teacher—1959.
The center 16 pages of this issue contains a special survey dealing with the
problems and rewards of the college teacher.
The alumni magazines of 249 colleges, universities and private secondary
schools throughout the United States and Canada are publishing this report.
The total circulation of this survey is 2,250,000 copies.
The survey was prepared by 19 alumni magazine editors from all types of
educational institutions. Itssponsor is the American Alumni Council,an international organization devoted to increasing alumni support of higher education.
In addition to the 16 page survey, additional pages have been devoted
specifically to the teacher at The University ofBuffalo. In five separate articles
the teacher of the University is highlighted in special areas. We have called
upon the four vice chancellors to present this report.
The fifth article consists of candid views of eight professors who are well
known to Buffalo alumni.
We consider this the most important issue of the Alumni Bulletin ever
published. The problems, the questions, and the information presented in this
issue should be of vital concern to all alumni. The alumni of our colleges and
universities, as the products of higher education, must assume a primary
responsibility of maintaining educational quality.
The reputation of your degree and training is reflected in the high character
of an important aspect of University responsibility: quality of instruction.
We trust the following pages will enlighten you on the college teacher situation in America today and perhaps provoke your inquiries and action.

ical facilities may be, the greater potential shortage is that of men and
women to teach and to do the work of
scholars. The University of Buffalo
will participate with its sister institutions in themad scramble for faculties that all responsible educational
leaders predict will occur over the
next dozen years.
What is the University of Buffalo?
It is a beautiful 178-acre campus of
handsome and functional buildings,
tree lined walks, expansive lawns,
parking lots, and playing fields. Itis
12,000full and part-time students. It
is 23,000 alumni. In the most fundamental sense, however, the University is a group of men and women
who have dedicated themselves to
teaching and the world of scholarship. In short, the University at its
heart is its faculty.
Who are the faculty? Just over
1,500 persons have faculty appointments at Buffalo. In exact number,
494 are full-time and 1,036 are parttime. Four hundred, ninety-nine persons have professorial status (assistant, associate, and full professors).
Of the entire faculty, 917 hold doctoral degrees (661 in medicine) and
199 have masters degrees. The largest
number of the full-time faculty (180)
hold their primary appointment in
Alumni

�the College of Arts and Sciences. Fulltime medical faculty number 118.
Full-time faculty of theseveral other
colleges number from 7 to 32.
Normal turnoverat the University
is about 40 full-time faculty per year.
This is slightly less than a ten percent annual replacement. But this
means that in ten to a dozen years the
University will appoint the equivalent of a full-time faculty. This turnover is only part of the problem. If
the University doubles its enrollment
in a dozen years and doubles its faculty, an additional 40 to 50 persons
will have to be appointed each year.
And every other institution will be
doing approximately what we will
have to do.
The questionis, how canwe maintain and improve this essential resource?One frequently reads that universities could solve their staffing
problems if they become more efficient. These suggestions take several
forms: (1) Stop building buildings
and use the money for faculty salaries. (2) Increase class size and hence
do with fewer teachers. (3) Ask professors to teach more hours and hence
dowith fewer professors. (4) Restrict
the curriculum offerings, hence increase class size and do with fewer
teachers. (5) Do more teaching by
television; provide for more independent study; use other devices that

would eliminate the teacher in whole
or in part.
The University of Buffalo prides
itself now on being a reasonably
efficient institution. Its buildings are
functional and heavily utilized—
from 8:30 in the morning until 10:30
at night; nor can it avoid building
more buildings if its enrollments are
to increase. Its average class size,
about 18-20, is higher than that of
most comparable institutions. Many
of its classes number into the hundreds. Its faculty has heavier teaching loads than are normal in universities that do a significant amount of
research. It is giving conservative attention to the use of mechanical aids
to teaching. The University gives and
will continue to give continuous
study to the efficiency of its operation
and will effect all economies which
are consonant with quality. But efficiency alone, along the lines described, will not solve our problems.
The blunt fact is that the University will be more competitive than
ever with other quality institutions,
with business and industry, with
government, and with professional
service for the educated men and
women who can teach. There can be
no resorting to short range expediencies, panaceas, "make-do" measures,
administrative persuasion, or other
similar devices to solve our problem.

The most important single factor
in attracting faculty is the over-all
quality of the institution. The University of Buffalo is a good institution. It must become even better if
it is to continue to operate in the national market for faculty. Excellent
faculty will be attracted by the
quality of teaching and research done
here. Faculty members wish, more
than anything else, to be associated
with other top quality teachers and
scholars.
Are salaries important? Definitely.
They are, however, a necessary but
not sufficient condition for a strong
faculty. Faculties "do not live by
bread alone.'' They do expect to have
their share of this world's goods, not
for luxury living, but to have enough
to minimize economic worry, to
participate in the culture to which
they contribute immeasurably, to
educate their children as they were
educated. The University salaries
now paid are about average for institutions of our type, but they must be
increased. Our "fringe benefit" program is an excellent one and must
continue to be kept so.
In the end, our salvation as a
quality institution with quality faculty is to have a flow of resources
which will maintain a constantly
improving institution. This we must
have and expect to have.

The University's intellectual capital is represented by the University Senate, the policy making body of the faculty.

�THE TEACHER
AND HIS

ECONOMIC STATUS
by
Dr. Claude E. Puffer
I ice Chancellor for Business Affairs anil Professor of Economics

WERE CERTAINLY
handed the dismal assignment," stated one of my colleagues when I informed him that I
had been asked to write a briefpaper
on the Economic Status of the Faculty. "All you can do is to say that
faculty salaries are too low and that
somebody ought to do something
about it," remarked another faculty
member with whom I spoke.
There is no aspect of University
life which gives college administrators more frightening nightmares,
more ulcers and more biting offingernails than the problem of how to keep
faculty salaries moving upward. The
officers of The University of Buffalo
are certainly no exception to this
rule. Even as this Alumni Bulletin
reaches you, they are enduring a
period of anguish known as preparation of the 1959-60 budget.
The anguish of all college administrative officers throughout the land
is intensified by fears that we are not
keeping abreast of the Russians in
higher education, fears that the rate
of inflation will increase ever more
rapidly, fears that the rising number
of students demanding admission to
colleges will simply overwhelm us

and fears that, as the demand for collegeprofessors increases more rapidly
than the supply of them, only the
richest universities will be able to
hold or attract top-flight faculty
members, leaving the less wealthy
universities with a second or thirdrate instructional staff.
Is there nothing at all hopeful that
can be said on the subject of the economic status of the faculty? Has there
been no progress? Ibelieve the answer
is less unhappy than most people
think.
TWENTY YEARS AGO
It is popular to begin analysis of
the faculty salary situation with the
academic year 1939-40. This was the
last of about five years of relative
stability in enrollment, capital investment and salaries in colleges.
There was little turnover in faculty
ranks, vacancies were few and rather
easily filled with qualified applicants.
It was a happier time for college administrators. Many of the senior faculty members look back on those
years as pleasant and desirable.
To see what has happened since
then, let us examine one division of
The University of Buffalo, the College of Arts and Sciences. We shall

speak of salaries in a moment, but let
us first call attention

to the fact that
the faculty members in that year
were not bothered by the intricacies
of a retirement system, group insurance, social security, Blue Cross,
Blue Shield, major medical insurance
or Faculty Tuition Exchange Scholarships, to name the chief fringe benefits now available to all. Instead,each
faculty member was somehow expected to make his own provision for
old age, possible illness, education of
his children and income for his dependents in case of death.
If we use index numbers to show
the change in salaries since 1939-40
with that year as the base or 100, we
discover that the average salary of
Professors in the College of Arts and
Sciences has risen from 100 to 241.
The average salary of Associate Professors in that division hasrisen from
100 to 206; the average salary of
Assistant Professors from 100 to 217;
and for Instructors from 100 to 210.
If there had been no inflation during this interval, the lot of the Professor would, indeed, have shown
great improvement. But of course.
there was inflation as everyone knows
so well.

�When adjustment for rising prices
has been made, the gains in faculty
income are not enormous gains, but
they are still gains. If no other groups
in society had received greater increases in purchasing power over the
same period, the academic economic
problem would not be as severe as it
is today. It is common knowledge,
however, that many, many other
worker classifications, including factory workers, building trades, and
ever so many others did make greater
gains. Moreover, positions in industry and government requiring
knowledge and skills comparable to
those expected of faculty members
outgained the academic profession.
FRINGE BENEFITS
Salaries alone are not the full story
of any analysis of theeconomic welfare of the faculty. Our faculty member in 1939-40 was supposed somehow to save enough to take care of
his own retirement if he retired at all.
More likely he would expect to teach
until his infirmities made it impossible for him to stand before a class.
Since April 1, 1947, there has been in
The University ofBuffalo a sound retirement system. Today the University contributes ten per cent of the
salary of each employee, along with
two and one-half per cent of that
salary contributed by the staff member himself. The combined contributions go toward the purchase of an
annuity which is the individual property of the faculty member and from
which the University ofBuffalo never
receives any refund. By arrangement
with the Teachers Insurance and
Annuity Association, half of these
sums may be placed in an annuity
backed by bonds and the other half
by equities consisting chiefly of common stock. For those faculty members who were on the staff prior to
April 1, 1947, the University pays a
past service benefitfrom its own funds
to make up for the period when no
formalretirement system existed.

All faculty members are covered by
social security. This not only gives
income in the years ofretirement, but
also gives income protection for the
widow or for children up to the age
of eighteen. Between the annuity
from TIAA, social security, and the
past service benefit, no one who has
Bulletin

retired after at least ten years of
service has received a retirement income of less than forty per cent of his
average base salary for the five years
prior to retirement. This is a good
record in comparison with any retirement program in industry or in universities.
All faculty members are covered by
group insurance. Seventy-fiveper cent
of the cost is paid by the University.
The insurance is much larger for the
younger members of the staff who
may have young children and who
have not yet made substantial savings
through the building up of retirement annuities.
All University employees are covered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield
for hospital and medical bills. The
employee is covered at University
expense and he, in turn, pays for his
dependents. In addition, there is
major medical insurance which will
provide up to $15,000 of additional
assistance to meet the cost of prolonged illnesses for the faculty member or his dependents. Again the University pays the premium for the employee and permits him to cover his
dependents at his own expense.
When the children offaculty members are old enough to attend college,
they are eligible for free tuition in
most of the privately-supported colleges and universities in the land
through theTuition Exchange Scholarship plan. If the child attends The
University of Buffalo he is permitted
to go ahead with his education at
one-half the normal tuition rates.
The dollar value of all these fringe
benefits can be calculated for each
employee. The sum will vary in relationship to the salary of the individual, but in all cases the sum is a
substantial one. The value to faculty
members in terms of peace of mind
with respect to provision for old age,
security for dependents in case of
death, ability to meet the cost of
long and expensive illnesses, and
ability to educate children who
reach college age, cannot of course,
be measured just in dollars.
It seems to this writer that we have
come a considerable distance in the

improvement of the economic status
of the faculty. The professor of today

who feels that he has lost ground in
comparison with "the good old
days" of 1939-40 should sp(end at
least some time in reflection on how
he would take care of the major problems enumerated above if we were
once again to revert to the stabilized
situation exemplified by 1939-40.
There is no question at all that, at
least in the sample that we are describing, progress has been made.
MORE TO BE DONE
Lest anyone jump to theconclusion
that the writer believes that all is
well and that no further improvement
is called for, let me hasten to say
once again, that far more needs to be
donein the future thanhas been done
in the past. Our problem today is to
hold at The University ofBuffalo the
most able of our excellent faculty
who are continually being tempted
by higher salaries in industry or being
sought by other universities. An
equally important part of the same
problem is to attract into the profession the best of the bright young students and to have as many of these at
The University of Buffalo as we can.
The problem is not solved for either
of these two categories by statistics
showing that the economic status of
faculty members is better than it was
in 1939-40. It must be solved by providing somehow, an economic status
that will be fully as attractive or
more attractive than the next best
alternative which is usually a highpaid position in industry or government. Unless we can attract and hold
such able faculty members in our colleges and universities, the supply of
young people with top-flight education will dry up because of the lack
of top-quality teachers. The goose
that lays the golden egg will, indeed,
have been killed. It is, therefore, a
matter of great concern to both industry and government that this
supply of talent be maintained. Eventually industry and government will
fully understand the necessity for support of high faculty salaries in colleges and universities. Our purpose is
to chip away at this problem day by
day, week by week, yearby year. You
who are alumni do understand the
problem. You can be of assistance in
hastening the day of greater support
from industry and government.
Thank you for all that you do.

AND
CAPITAL EXPANSION
by
Dr. Edgar B. Cale
Vice Chancellor for Planning and Development
and Professor of Political Science

EARLY

THIS YEAR, at an affair honoring a great American
sage, Ben. Franklin.Chancellor
Furnas lucidly stated the problem:
"Keeping the doors of utsdom adcqu.itclv open is going to be a most
difficult task in America. Our nation
is probably always in some kind of a
crisis,
but we now have an educational crisis of major magnitude
which will not go away."
Dr. Furnas then proceeded to outline three basic reasons for the crisis.
First, there is the basic fact of "population growth—explosive and unprecedented." The result is double
sessions almost all the way up the
education ladder.
Secondly there is the "phenomenal
advance of science and technology"
which makes more education and
training a requirement forevery modern citizen. The third factor stressed
by the Chancellor is "international
competition, particularly with Russian Communism" not just in the
military but in industrial, economic,
and ideological fields.
So we find that to keep pace with
the times education must be broader
and deeper—for more students more

comprehensively.
8

In considering the total educational problem, we must always keep
uppermost in mind that "Colleges
are for students." It is the human
product which counts. Bricks and
mortar, books and test-tubes, and
teachers all are implements in developing the creative talents of
students.
The function of Planning and Development is to find adequate financial
support for the total, long-range educational program. This includes
teachers, buildings, libraries and
laboratories. Just as the teacher is
the first requirement of any educational system, first consideration
should be given to providing thebest
teachers possible. The University of
Buffalo is demonstrating its belief in
this principle by steadily improving
the financial status of the faculty. We
need to do even more to attract high
caliber personnel to our campus. In
fact, there is a great deal of catching
up to be done in many areas of both
staff and equipment in sister universities as well as U.B. A conservative
estimate is that national annual expenditures for higher education
should be tripled by 1975, reaching
SlO billion per year.

"

—

DISTRIBUTING FUNDS
Sometimes when we think in terms
of great masses—three million college students now, six million by
1975—we forget that our concern is
for the individual student. The transformation ofpersonality through the
educational process is a one-at-a-time
affair. Furthermore, when we evaluate a great development program, it
must be in terms of "developing"
well-rounded individuals, equipped
to be congenial citizens as well as
trained brains.
This poses the question which is
argued heatedly in so many facultyclubs and committee meetings on
American campuses: what are the top
priorities in a fiscal plan?
An analogy might be drawn between The University of Buffalo and
a "poor but honest" working man
who has little savings and is just
squeaking by on his modest salary.
First there is the grocery bill to be
paid. In University terms this is
equivalent to the current operating
expenses of salaries, fixtures, and supplies 'including books for the library
—a sine qua non of an educational

operation.)

�THE TEACHER
AND
RESEARCH
by
Dr. Raymond H. Ewell
I ice Chancellor for Research and Professor of Chemistry

WHAT

PART does The Univer-

sity of Buffalo and its faculty

play in the nation's research
effort? The United States now has
about 300,000 professional people—
physical scientists, biological and
medical scientists, social scientists
and engineers—engaged in research
and development in universities, in
industry, in government laboratories
and in research institutes of various
types. The annual expenditure in support of this research and development effort is about $9 billion or 2
per cent of the gross national product.
At The University ofBuffalo there
are about 250 professors and research
assistants working part-time or fulltime on research with an annual budget of approximately $2 million.
Therefore, U.B. does something like
1/10 of 1 per cent of the nation's research.
By research is meant not only research in science, medicine and engineering, but also in social sciences,
education, history, literature, languages, etc. Also, creative activities
such as literary writing, music and
the arts, should be included as comparable to research in these other
areas. At The University of Buffalo
Bulletin

theresearch in these fields is directed
almost exclusively by those teachers
whose primary jobis that of teaching.
In addition to their regular teaching loads, the university teacher feels
that the research he does, made possible by the facilities available at a
university, is just as important to
him, his colleagues and his students
as fulfilling his basic role as a classroom teacher. In many cases the research work is used to implement the
actual teaching situation.
The United States needs a large research program, in fact, we need a
steadily increasing volume of research in all fields ofknowledge. Our
country needs such a research effort
for thesereasons:
1. To continue the economic development of the country,
2. To conserve and utilize more
efficiently our natural resources,
3. To improve the health and longevity of our citizens,
4. To keep us on competitive
terms with the Russians, and
last, but far from least,
5- To discover new knowledge—
justfbecause it is there and
waiting.

Why is it important for The University of Buffalo to play some part
in this research effort? We could
name many reasons, but one good
reason, at least, is that a strong research program is a necessity for a
first rank university. There are three
principal functions of a university
teaching, research and public service.
All great universities are distinguished in all three of these functions, but research is the function
that is the most unique in a university. There are many colleges that do
an excellent job of teaching, but do
little or no research. There are many
organizations that render public services of the same type as those rendered by universities. This leaves research as the really unique function

—

ofa university.
Most of the original research done
in theworld during the past few hundred years has been done by teachers
or under the direction of teachers in
the universities of the world. In fact,
to a first approximation, universities are the only organizations that
really do original research which
adds to man's knowledge. It is true
that some original research has been

"If I were sitting here
and the whole outside world
were indifferent to what I
was doing, I would still want
to be doing just what lam."

�I'VE ALWAYS FOUND IT SOMEWHAT HARD TO
SAY JUST WHY I CHOSE TO BE A PROFESSOR.
There are many reasons, not all of them tangible
things which can be pulled out and explained. I still
hear people say, "Those who can, do; those who
can't, teach." But there are many teachers who can.
They are teachers because they have more than the
usual desireto communicate. They areexcited enough
about something to want to tell others, have others
love it as they love it, tell people the how of something, and the why.
I like to see students who will carry the intellectual
spark into the world beyond my time. And I like to
think that maybe I have something to do with this.

THERE IS A CERTAIN FREEDOM
IN THIS JOB, TOO.
A professor doesn'tpunch a timeclock. He is allowed
theresponsibility ofplanning his own time and activities. This freedom of movement provides something
very valuable—time to think and consider.
I've always hadthefreedomto teach what Ibelieve
to be true. I have never been interfered with in what
I wanted to say—either in the small college or in the
large university. I know there havebeen and are infringements on academicfreedom. But they've never
happened to me.

�THE COLLEGE
TEACHER: 1959

I LIKE YOUNG PEOPLE.
I REGARD MYSELF AS YOUNG.
I'm still eager about many of the things I was eager
about as a young man. It is gratifying to see bright
young men andwomen excited and enthusiastic about
scholarship. There are times whenI feel thatI'm only
an old worn boulder in the never-ending stream of
students. There are times whenI want to flee,when I
look ahead to a quieter life of contemplation, of
reading things I've always wanted to read. Then a
brilliant and likeable human being comes along,
whom I feel I can help—and this makes it all the
more worthwhile. When I see a young teacher get a
start, I get a vicarious feeling of beginning again.

�THE COLLEGE
TEACHER: 1959

PEOPLE ASK ME ABOUT THE
"DRAWBACKS" IN TEACHING.

Ifind it difficult to be glib about this. There are major
problems to befaced.There is this businessofsalaries,
of status and dignity, of anti-intellectualism, of too
much to do in too little time. But these areproblems,
not drawbacks. A teacher doesn't become a teacher
in spite of them, but with an awareness that they
exist and need to be solved.

AND THERE IS THIS
MATTER OF "STATUS."
Terms like "egghead" tend to suggest that the intellectual is something lLke a toadstool—almostphysically different from everyone else. America is obsessed with stereotypes. There is a whole spectrum of
personalities in education,all individuals. The notion
that the intellectual is somebodytotallyremoved from
what human beings are supposed to be is absurd.

�TODAY MAN HAS LESS TIME
ALONE THAN ANY MAN BEFORE HIM.

But we are here for only a limited time, and I would
rather spend such time as I have thinking about the
meaning oftheuniverse and thepurpose of man, than
doing something else. I've spent hours in libraries
and on park benches, escaping long enough to do a
little thinking. I can be found occasionally sitting
out there with sparrows perching on me, almost.

�"We may always be running just to keep
from falling behind. But the person who
is a teacher because he wants to teach,
because he is deeply interested in people
andscholarship, will pursue it as long as
he can."

T
Ahe

circumstance is a strange one. In recent

years Americans have spent more money on the trappings of
higher education than ever before in history. More
parents than ever have set their sights on a college education

for their children. More buildings than ever
have been put up to accommodatethe crowds. But in the
midst of this national preoccupation with higher
education, the indispensableelement in education—the

teacher—somehow has been overlooked.
The results are unfortunate—not only for college teachers, but
for collegeteaching as well, and for all whose lives it touches.
If allowed to persist, present conditions could lead
to so serious a decline in the excellence of higher education
that we wouldrequire generationsto recover from it.

Among educators, the problem is the subject
of current concern and debateand experiment. What is missing,
and urgently needed, is full public awareness of the
problem—and full public support of measures to deal with it.

A J.ere is a task for the college alumnus and alumna. No one
knows the value of higher education better than
the educated. No one is better able to take action, and to
persuade others to take action, to preserve and increase its value.
Will they do it? The outlines of the problem, and some
guideposts to action, appear in the pages that follow.

�WILL WE RUN OUT OF
COLLEGE TEACHERS?
No; there will always be someone to fill classroom vacancies. But
quality is almost certain to drop unless something is done quickly
■*"T THERE WILL THE TEACHERS
COMEFROM?

\A/

The number ofstudents enrolled in America's
» » colleges and universities this year exceeds last
year's figure by more than a quarter million. In ten years
it should pass six million—nearly double today's enrollment.
The numberofteachers also may haveto double. Some
educators say thatwithin a decade495,000 may be needed
—more than twice the present number.
Can we hope to meet the demand? If so, what is likely
to happen to the quality of teaching in the process?
"Great numbers of youngsters will flood into our colleges and universities whether we are preparedor not," a
report oftheCarnegie Foundation fortheAdvancement of
Teaching has pointed out. "These youngsters will be
taught—taught well or taughtbadly. And the demand for
teachers will somehow be at least partly met—if not with
well-prepared teachers then with ill-prepared, if not with
superior teachers then with inferior ones."
immediate is the problem of finding enough
qualified teachers to meet classes next fall. College administrators must scramble to do so.
"The staffing problems are the worst in my 30years'
experience at hiring teaching staff," said one college president, replying to a survey by the U.S. Office of Education's Division of Higher Education.
"The securing and retaining of well-trained, effective
teachers is the outstanding problem confronting all colleges today," said another.
One logical place to start reckoning with the teacher
shortage is on the present faculties of American colleges
and universities. The shortage is hardly alleviated by the
fact that substantial numbers of men and women find it
necessary to leave college teaching each year, for largely

Most

financial reasons. So serious is this problem—and so
relevant is it to the college alumnus and alumna—that a
separate article in this report is devoted to it.
The scarcity of funds has led most colleges and universities to seek at least short-range solutions to the
teacher shortage by other means.
Difficulty in finding young new teachers to fill faculty
vacancies is turning the attention of more and more administrators to the other end of the academic line, where
tried and able teachers are about to retire. A few institutions havemodified the upper agelimits forfaculty. Others
are keeping selected faculty members on the payroll past
the usual retirement age. A number of institutions are
filling their own vacancies with the cream of the men and
women retiredelsewhere, and two organizations, theAssociation of American Colleges and theAmerican Association of UniversityProfessors, with theaid ofa grantfrom
the Ford Foundation, have set up a "Retired Professors
Registry" to facilitate the process.
Oldrestraints and handicapsfor the woman teacher are
disappearing in the colleges. Indeed, there are special
opportunities for her, as she earns her standing alongside
the man who teaches. But there is no room for complacency here. We can no longer take it for granted that
the woman teacher will be any more available than the
man, for she exercises the privilege ofher sex to change
her mind about teaching as about other matters. Says
Dean Nancy DukeLewis ofPembroke College: "The day
has passed when we could assume that everywoman who
earned her Ph.D. would go into college teaching. She
needs something positive today to attract her to thecolleges because of the welcome that awaits her talents in
business, industry, government, or the foundations. Her
freedom to choose comes at a time when undergraduate
women particularly needdistinguished women scholars to

�inspire them to do their best in the classroom and laboratory—and certainly to encourage them to elect college
teaching as a career."
hard-pressed administrators find themselves
forced to accelerate promotions and salary increases
in order to attract and hold faculty members. Many
are being forced to settle for less qualified teachers.
In an effort to attract and keep teachers, most colleges
are providing such necessities as improved research facilities and secretarial help to relieve faculty members of
paperwork andadministrative burdens, thusgivingfaculty
members more time to concentrate on teaching and
research.
In theprocess ofrevising their curricula many colleges
are eliminating courses that overlap one another or are
considered frivolous. Some are increasing the size of
lecture classesand eliminating classes theydeem too small.
Finally, somewhat in desperation (but also with the
firm conviction that the technological age must, after all,
have something of value to offer even to the most basic
and fundamental exercises ofeducation), experimentsare
being conducted with teaching by films and television.
At Perm State, where televised instruction is in its ninth
semester, TV has met with mixed reactions. Students
consider it a good technique for teaching courses with

Some

large enrollments—and their performance in courses employing television has been as good as that of students
having personal contact with their teachers. The reaction
offaculty members has been less favorable. But acceptance appears tobe growing: thenumber ofcourses offered
on television has grown steadily, and thenumber offaculty
members teaching via TV has grown, also.
Elsewhere, teachers are farfrom unanimity on the subject of TV. "Must the TV technicians take over the colleges?" asked Professor Ernest Earnest of Temple University in an article title last fall. "Like the conventional
lecture system, TV lends itself to the sausage-stuffing concept of education," Professor Earnestsaid. The classroom,
he argued, "is the place for testing ideas and skills, for the
interchange of ideas"—objectives difficult to attain when
one's teacher is merely a shadow on a fluorescent screen.
The TV pioneers, however, believe the medium, used
properly, holds great promise for the future.
the long run, the traditional sources of supply
for college teaching fall far shortof meeting the demand. The Ph.D., for example, long regarded by
many colleges and universities as the ideal "driver's
license" for teachers, is awarded to fewer than 9,000
persons per year. Even if, as is probable, the number of
students enrolled in Ph.D. programs rises over the next

For

�few years, it will be a long time before they have traveled
the full route to the degree.
Meanwhile, the demand for Ph.D.'s grows, as industry,
consultingfirms, and government competeformanyofthe
men and women who do obtain the degree. Thus, at the
very time that a great increase is occurring in the number
of undergraduates who must be taught, the supply of new
college teachers with the rank of Ph.D. is even shorter
than usual.
"During each of the past four years," reported the
National Education Association in 1958, "the average
level of preparation of newly employed teachers has
fallen. Four years ago no less than 31.4 per cent of the
new teachers held the earned doctor's degree. Last year
only 23.5 per cent were at this high level ofpreparation."
are some of the causes of concern about the
Ph.D., to which educators are directing their
attention:
► The Ph.D. program, as it now exists in most graduate
schools, does not sufficiently emphasize the development
of teaching skills. As a result, many Ph.D.'s go into
teaching with little or no idea how to teach, and make
a mess of it when they try. Many who don't go into
teaching might havedone so, had a greater emphasis been
laid upon it when they were graduate students.

Here

►

The Ph.D. program is indefinite in its time require-

ments: they varyfrom school to school, from department
to department, from student to student, far more than
seems warranted. "Generally the Ph.D. takes at least
four years to get," says a committee of the Association
of GraduateSchools. "More often it takes six or seven,
and not infrequently ten to fifteen.... If we putour heads
to the matter, certainly we ought to be able to say to a
good student: 'With a leeway of not more than one year,
it will take you so and so long to take the Ph.D.' "

► "Uncertainty about the time required," says the
Association's Committee on Policies in Graduate Education, "leads in turn to another kind of uncertainty—
financial uncertainty. Doubt and confusion on this score
have a host of disastrous effects. Many superior men,
facing unknownshere, abandon thoughts about working
for a Ph.D. and realistically gooff to law or the 1ike...."
of the teachers in America's colleges and universities hold thePh.D., more
than three quarters of the newcomers to college
and university teaching, these days, don't have one. In
the years ahead, it appears inevitable that the proportion
of Ph.D.'s to non-Ph.D.'s on America's faculties will
diminish.
Nextin line, after the doctorate, is themaster's degree.
Although rouohly half

�For centuries the master's was "the" degree, until, with
the growth of thePh.D. in America, it began to be moved
into a back seat. In Great Britain its prestige is still high.
But in America theM.A. has, in some graduate schools,
deteriorated. Where theM.A.'s standards have been kept
high, on the other hand, able students have been able to
prepare themselves, not only adequately but well, for

.

college teaching.
Today the M.A. is one source of hope in the teacher
shortage. "If the M.A. were of universal dignity and
good standing," says the report of the Committee on
Policies in Graduate Education, ".. this ancient degree
could bring us succor in the decade ahead....

Ph.D
One problem would remain. "If you have a master's
degree you are still a mister and if you have a Ph.D., no
matter where it is from, you are a doctor," Dean G. Bruce
Dealing, of the University of Delaware, has said. "The
town looks at you differently. Business looks at you differently. The dean may; it depends on how discriminating

...

he is."
The problem won't be solved, W. R. Dennes, former
dean of the graduate school ofthe University ofCalifornia
at Berkeley, has said, "until universities havethe courage
to select men very largely on the quality of work they
havedoneand soft-pedal this matter of degrees."
A point for parents and prospective students to remember—and one of which alumni and alumnae might remind them—is that counting the number of Ph.D.'s in a
college catalogue is not the only, or even necessarily the
best, way to judge the worth of an educational institution
or its faculty's abilities. To base one's judgment solely on
such a count is quite a temptation, as William James noted
56 years ago in "The Ph.D. Octopus": "The dazzled reader ofthe list, the parent or student, says to himself, 'This
must be a terribly distinguished crowd—their titles shine
like the stars in the firmament; Ph.D.'s, Sc.D.'s, and
LittD.'s bespangle the page as if they were sprinkled over
it from a pepper caster.' "
The Ph.D. will remain higher education's most honored
earned degree. It stands for a depth of scholarship and
productive research to which the master has not yet
addressed himself so intensively. But many educational
leaders expect the doctoral programs to give more em-

...

phasis to teaching. At the same time the master's degree
will be strengthened and given more prestige.
In the process the graduate schools will have taken a
long step toward solving the shortage of qualified college

teachers.
of the changes being made by colleges and
universities to meet the teacher shortage constitute
reasonable and overdue reforms. Other changes are
admittedly desperate—andpossibly dangerous—attempts
to meet today's needs.
The central problem is to get more young people
interested in college teaching. Here, college alumni and
alumnae have an opportunity to provide a badly needed
service to higher education and to superioryoung people
themselves. The problem of teacher supply is not one
with which the college administrator is ableto copealone.
President J. Seelye Bixler, of Colby College, recently
said: "Let us cultivate a teacher-centered point of view.
There is tragedy as well as truth in the old saying thatin
Europe when you meet a teacher you tip yourhat, whereas
over here you tap your head. Our debt to our teachers is
very great, and fortunately we are beginning to realize
that we must make some attempt to balance the account.
Money and prestige are among the first requirements.
"Most important is independence. Too often we sit
back with the comfortable feeling that our teachers have
all the freedom they desire. We forget that the payoff
comes in times of stress. Are we really willing to allow
them independence of thoughtwhen a nationalemergency
is in the offing? Are we ready to defend them against all
pressure groups and to acknowledge their right to act as
critics of our customs, our institutions, and even our
national policy? Evidenceabounds that for some of our
more vociferouscompatriots this is too much. They seeno
reason why such privileges should be offered or why a
teacher should not express his patriotism in the same outworn and often irrelevant shibboleths they find so dear
and so hard to give up. Surely our educational task has
not been completed until we have persuaded them that a
teacher should be a pioneer, a leader, and at times a nonconformist with a recognized right to dissent. As Howard
Mumford Jones has observed, we can hardly allow ourselves to become a nation proud of machines that think
and suspicious ofany man who tries to."
By lending their support to programs designed to improve theclimate forteachers at their own colleges, alumni
can do much to alter the conviction held by many that
teaching is tolerable only to martyrs.

SOME

�WHAT PRICE
DEDICATION?
Most teachers teach because they love their jobs. But low pay is
forcing many to leave theprofession, just when we need them most
Tuesday evening for the past three and a half
months, the principal activity of a 34-year-old
associate professor ofchemistry at a first-rate midwestern college has centered around Section 3 of the previous Sunday's New York Times. The Times, which arrives at his office in Tuesday afternoon's mail delivery,
customarily devotes page afterpage of Section 3 to large
help-wanted ads, most of them directed at scientists and
engineers. The associate professor, a Ph.D., is jobhunting.
"There's certainly no secret about it," he told a recent
visitor. "Atleast two others in the department are looking, too. We'd all give a lot to be able to stay in teaching; that's what we're trained for, that's what we like.
But we simply can't swing it financially."
"I'm up against it this spring," says the chairman of
the physics department at an eastern college for women.
"Within the past two weeks two of my people, one an
associate and one an assistant professor, turnedin their
resignations, effective in June. Both are leaving the field
—one for a job in industry, the other for government
work. I've got strings out, all over the country, but so
far I've found no suitable replacements. We've always
prided ourselves on having Ph.D.'s in these jobs, but it
looks as if that's one resolution we'll have to break in
1959-60."
"We're a long way from being able to compete with
industry when young peopleput teaching and industry on
the scales," says Vice Chancellor Vera O. Knudsen of
UCLA. "Salary is the real rub, of course. Ph.D.'s in
physics here in Los Angeles are getting $8-12,000 in

Every

'

industry without any experience, while about all we can
offer them is $5,500. Things are not much better in the
chemistry department"
One young Ph.D. candidate sums it up thus: "We want
to teach and we want to do basic research, but industry
offers us twice the salary we can get as teachers. We talk
it over with our wives, but it's pretty hard to turn down
$10,000 to work for less than half that amount."
"That woman you saw leaving my office: she's one of
our most brilliant young teachers, and she was ready to
leave us," said a women's college dean recently. "I persuaded her to postpone her decision for a couple of
months, until the results of the alumnaefund drive are in.
We're going to use that money entirely for raising salaries, this year. Ifit goes over the top, we'll be able to hold
some of our best people. Ifit falls short.
I'm on the
phone every morning, talking to the fund chairman,
counting those dollars, and praying."

..

dimensions of the teacher-salary problem in the
United States and Canada are enormous. It has
reached a point of crisisin public institutions and in
private institutions, in richly endowedinstitutions as well
as in poorer ones. It exists even in Catholic colleges and
universities, where, as student populations grow, more
and more laymen must be found in order to supplement
the limited number of clerics available for teaching posts.
"In a generation," says Seymour E. Harris, the distinguished Harvardeconomist, "the college professor has
lost 50 per cent in economic status as compared to the
average American. His real income has declined sub-

The

�stantially, while that ofthe average American has risen
by 70-80 per cent."

Figures assembled by the American Association of
University Professors show how seriously the college
teacher's economic standing has deteriorated. Since
1939, according tethe AAUP's latest study (published in
1958), the purchasing power of lawyers rose 34 per cent,
that of dentists 54 per cent, and that of doctors 98 per
cent. But at the five state universities surveyed by the
AAUP, the purchasing power ofteachers in allranks rose
only 9 per cent. And at twenty-eight privately controlled
institutions, the purchasing power of teachers' salaries
droppedby 8.5 per cent. While nearly everybody else in
the country was gaining ground spectacularly, teachers
were losing it.
The AAUP's sample, it should be noted, is not representative of all colleges and universities in the United
States and Canada. The institutions it contains are, as
the AAUP says, "among thebetter colleges and universities in the country in salary matters." For America as a
whole, the situation is even worse.
The National Education Association, which studied
the salaries paid in the 1957-58 academic year by more
than three quarters of thenation's degree-granting institutions and by nearly two thirds of the junior colleges,
found that half of all college and university teachers
earned less than $6,015 per year. College instructors
earned a median salary of only $4,562—not much better
than the median salary of teachers in public elementary
schools, whose economic plight is wellknown.
The implications of such statistics are plain.
"Higher salaries," says Robert Lekachman, professor
of economics at Barnard College, "would make teaching
a reasonable alternative for the bright young lawyer, the
bright young doctor. Any ill-paid occupation becomes
something of a refuge for theill-trained, the lazy, and the
incompetent. If the scale of salaries isn't improved, the
quality of teaching won't improve; it will worsen. Unless
Americans are willing to pay more for higher education,
they will have to be satisfied with an inferior product."
Says President Margaret Clapp of Wellesley College,
which is devoting all ofits fund-raising effortsto accumulating enough money (sls million) to strengthen faculty
salaries: "Since the war, in an effort to keep alive the
profession, discussion in America of teachers' salaries has
necessarily centered on the minimums paid. But insofar
as money is a factor in decision, wherever minimums only
are stressed, the appeal is to the underprivileged and the
timid; able and ambitious youths are not likely to listen."

PEOPLE IN SHORT SUPPLY:

IS THE ANSWER?
It appears certain that ifcollege teaching is to
attract and hold top-grade men and women, a
drastic step must be taken: salaries must be doubled
within five to ten years.
There is nothing extravagant about such a proposal;
indeed, it may dangerously understate the need. The
current situation is so serious that even doubling his salary would not enable the college teacher to regain his
former status in the American economy.
Professor Harris of Harvard figures it this way:
For every $100 he earned in 1930, the college faculty
member earned only $85, in terms of 1930 dollars, in
1957. By contrast, the average American got $175 in
1957for every $100 he earned in 1930. Even if the professor's salary is doubled in ten years, he will get only a

WHAT

�salaries is even more important than appropriating
money for campus buildings. (Curiously, buildings are
usually easier to "sell" than pay raises, despite the seemingly obvious fact that no onewas ever educated by a pile
ofbricks.)
For others, it has been a matter of fund-raising campaigns ("We are writing salary increases into our 1959-60
budget, even though we don't have any idea where the
money is coming from," says the president ofa privately
supported college in the Mid-Atlantic region); of finding
additional salary money in budgets that are already
spread thin ("We're cutting back our library's book
budget again, to gain some funds in the salary accounts");
oftuition increases ("This is about the only private enterprise in the country which gladly subsidizes its customers;
maybe we're crazy"); of promoting research contracts
("We claim to be a privately supported university, but
what would we do without the AEC?"); and of bar-

salaries is a modest program. "But in another sense," he
says, "the proposed rise seems large indeed. None of the

public attitudes toward faculty salaries will be necessary
before significant progress can be made.

the money is a problem with which each
college must wrestle today without cease.
For some, it is a matter ofconvincing taxpayers
and state legislators that appropriating moneyfor faculty

Finding

gaining.
"The tendency to bargain, on the part ofboth the collegesand the teachers, is a deplorabledevelopment," says
the dean of a university in the South. But it is a growing practice. As a result, inequities have developed: the
teacher in a field in which people are in short supply or in
industrial demand—or the teacher who is adept at
"campus politics"—is likely to fare better than his colleagues who are less favorably situated.
"Before you check with the administration on the
actual appointment of a specific individual," says a
faculty man quoted in therecent and revealing book, The
Academic Marketplace, "you can be honest and say to
the man, 'Would you be interested in coming at this
amount?' and he says, 'No, but I would be interested at
this amount.' " One result of such bargaining has been
that newly hired faculty members often make more
money than was paid to the people they replace—a happy
circumstance for the newcomers, but not likely to raise
the morale of others on the faculty.
"We have been compelled to set the beginning salary
of such personnel as physics professors at least $1,500
higher than salaries in such fields as history, art, physical
education, and English," wrote the dean of faculty in a
state college in the Rocky Mountain area, in response to a
recent governmentquestionnaire dealingwith salary practices. "This began about 1954 and has worked until the
present year, when the differential perhaps may be increased even more."
Bargaining is not new in Academe fThorstein Veblen
referred to it in The Higher Learning, which he wrote in

�1918), but never has it been as widespread or as much a
matter of desperation as today. In colleges and universities, whose members like to think of themselves as equally
dedicated to all fields of human knowledge, it may prove
to be a weakening factorof serious proportions.
Many colleges and universities have managed to make
modest across-the-board increases, designed to restore
part of the faculty's lost purchasing power. In the 1957----58 academic year, 1,197 institutions, 84.5 per cent of
those answering a U.S. Office of Education survey question on the point, gave salary increases of at least 5 per
cent to their faculties as a whole. More than halfof them
(248 public institutions and 329 privately supported institutions) said their action was due wholly or in part to the
teacher shortage.
Others have found fringe benefits to be a partial
answer. Providing low-cost housing is a particularly successful way of attracting and holding faculty members;
and since housing is a major item in a family budget, it
is as good as or better than a salary increase. Oglethorpe
University in Georgia, for example, a 200-student, private, liberal arts institution, long ago built houses on campus land (in one ofthe most desirableresidential areas on
the outskirts of Atlanta), which it rents to faculty members at about one-third the area's going rate. (The cost
of a three-bedroom faculty house: $50 per month.) "It's
our major selling point," says Oglethorpe's president,
Donald Agnew, "and we use it for all it's worth."
Dartmouth, in addition to attacking the salary problem
itself, has worked out a program of fringe benefits that
includes full payment of retirement premiums (16 per
cent of each faculty member's annual salary), group insurance coverage,paying the tuition of faculty children at
any college in the country, liberal mortgage loans, and
contributing to the improvement of local schools which

faculty members' children attend.
Taking care oftrouble spots while attempting to whittle
down the salary problem as a whole, searching for new
funds while reapportioning existingones, the colleges and
universities are dealing with their salary crises as best they
can, and sometimes ingeniously. But still the gap between
salary increases and the rising figures on the Bureau of
Labor Statistics' consumer price index persists.
CAN THE GAP BE CLOSED?
First, stringent economies must be applied by
educational institutions themselves. Any waste
that occurs, as well as most luxuries, is probably being
subsidized by low salaries. Some "waste" may be hidden

HOW

in educational theories so old that they are accepted
without question; if so, the theories must be re-examined
and, if found invalid, replaced with new ones. The idea
of the small class, for example, has long been honored
by administrators and faculty members alike: there is
now reason to suspect that large classes can be equally
effective in many courses—a suspicion which, if found
correct, should be translated into action by those institutions which are able to do so. Tuition may have to be
increased—a prospect at which many public-college, as
well as many private-college, educators shudder, but
which appears justified and fair if the increases can be
tied to a system of loans, scholarships, and tuition rebates based on a student's or his family's ability to pay.
Second, massive aid must come from the public, both
in the form of taxes for increased salaries in state and
municipal institutions and in the form of direct gifts to
both public and private institutions. Anyone who gives
money to a college or university for unrestricted use or
earmarked for faculty salaries can be sure that he is making one of thebest possible investments in the free world's
future. If he is himself a college alumnus, he may consider it a repayment of a debt he incurred when his college or university subsidized a large part of his own education (virtually nowhere does, or did, a student's tuition
cover costs). If he is a corporation executive or director,
he may consider it a legitimate cost of doing business; the
supply of well-educated men and women (the alternative
to which is half-educated men and women) is dependent
upon it. Ifhe is a parent, he may consider it a premium
on a policy to insure high-quality education for his children—quality which, without such aid, he can be certain
will deteriorate.
Plain talk between educators and the public is a third
necessity. The president ofBarnard College, Millicent C.
Mclntosh, says: "The 'plight' is not of the faculty, but of
the public. The faculty will take care of themselvesin the
future either by leaving the teaching profession or by
never entering it. Those who care for education, those
who run institutions oflearning, and thosewho have children—all these will be left holding the bag." It is hard to
believe that ifAmericans—and particularly college alumni and alumnae—had been aware of the problem, they
would havelet faculty salaries fall into a sad state. Americans know thevalue of excellence in higher education too
well to haveblithely let itsbasic element—excellent teaching—slip into its present peril. First we must rescue it;
then we must make certain thatit does not fall into disrepair again.

�Some

Questions
for

Alumni
and

Alumnae

► Is your Alma Mater having difficultyfinding qualified
new teachers to fill vacancies and expand its faculty to
meet climbing enrollments?
► Has the economic status offaculty members of your
college kept up with inflationary trends?
► Are the physical facilities of your college, including
laboratories and libraries, good enough to attract and
hold qualified teachers?
Is your community one which respects the college
teacher? Is the social and educational environment of
your college's "home town" onein which a teacher would
like to raise his family?

►

► Are the restrictions on time and freedom of teachers
at your college such asto discourage adventurousresearch,
careful preparation of instruction, and the expression of
honest conviction?

► To meet the teacher shortage, is your college forced
toresort to hiring practices that are unfair to segments of
the faculty it already has?
Are courses of proved merit being curtailed? Are
classes becoming larger than subject matter or safeguards
of teacher-student relationships would warrant?
►

► Are you, as an alumnus, and your college as an institution, doing everything possible to encourage talented
young people to pursue careers in college teaching?
If you are dissatisfied with the answers to these questions,
your college may need help. Contact alumni officials at
your college to learn if your concern is justified. If it is,
register your interest in helping the college authorities
find solutions through appropriateprograms oforganized
alumni cooperation.

the actor. In the matter of history this is especially so, for history is drama with a

as many answers as teachers. My own, in part at least,would be that one teaches to open up to
the rising generation an understanding of the great traditions in church and state which are
theirrightful heritage so that they may be the more clearly aware of themselves and "the rock
whence they are hewn, the pit whence diey are digged." Such an awareness helps them both to

DID I CHOOSE university teaching as a career and why do I stay in teaching?
The greatest reward in teaching, to me. is the excitement of working with students and
them grow and develop toward greater use of their own abilities while they build for
themselves some feeling of the joy of learning and assuming responsibility for themselves and
for others. Teaching has also provided an opportunity to continue learning in an environment
where learning is everyone's business. Finally, university teaching has offeredassociation with
others of similar interests where each individual has opportunity freely to seek understanding
while facing problems of concern to all.

�THE TEACHER AND CAPITAL EXPANSION, by Dr. Edgar B. Cale
(/
Continued
from page

Next the hypothetical family has
to keep a "roof over their heads."
Likewise Universities can not function either in the bright summer sun
or in the wintry snow drifts. We
stress this point because some cynics
ask: why do you have to keep on
building more halls when professors
need higher salaries?
The specialized nature of the teaching business does not permit "renting" office space. Occasionally a college acquires a hotel or apartment
house and finds that it docs not resemble a dormitory except in superficial aspects. So college buildings
must be built to specifications. Unlike the working man's home, construction —not renting is essential.
However, The University ofBuffalo,
which has no city or state tax revenues to depend on, has never been able
to afford luxury items —extra guest
rooms, you might call them. Our
priorities are determined by crying
needs. A few examples should make
the point clear.
This year, Acheson Hall of Chemistry will be ready for use, providing
a long-needed replacement for outmoded facilities in Foster Hall. The
schools of Nursing and Pharmacy,
also in Foster, are eagerly awaiting
the ground-breaking for the new
Health Sciences Building, which will
be a part of our unique health and
life sciences center.
At a recent public meeting at which
plans for our Medical Center were
being discussed, an angry citizen demanded the reason for our failing to
turn out more doctors and nurses to
serve in local hospitals. Evidently,
he thought it was just a matter of
speeding up the production line—as
in a factory. We are glad college education is a slow and painstaking business, requiring usually four to eight
years. The finished product deserves
the greater esteem.

Returning to the sloganot "proper
balance" in priorities, may we cite
that the various functions of the
campus havehad due respect in recent
improvements. In the past three years
a new eleven-story "tower"residence
hall has been added in what might be
called the "living" department.
Baird Music Building was completed

Research was added to the Capen

THE WELFARE OF
THE TEACHER
We find the argument coming back
to us again and again; more should
be done for the teacher. He is the
catalytic agent that makes the whole
thing work. A good teacher on the
end of a log with an eager student on
the other end can constitute a great
educational system. So goes the
argument.
Let us grant

that a Plato can do
much to produce an Aristotle, but
both of these learned gentlemen
would admit that they were pretty
frustrated by the lack of tools for
exploring the secrets of the universe
about which they speculated. Therefore, when yousay that "more should
be done for the teacher," the immediate "amen" is followed by
"Give the teacher masses of original
sources and laboratories for original
research and funds for basic investigations. As "man can not live by
bread alone," teachers need a great
deal more than higher salaries.
A favorite subject of conversation
in college halls is "the atmosphere
for learning." Academic freedom and
the so-called spirit of objective in-

A teacher affects eternity, he can never

tell where his influence stops
30

Henry Adams

quiry are justly praised by almost all
modern scholars. Certainly thesearch
for truth must be unfettered.
But the right atmosphere for progress in the arts and sciences is not
just a piece of open sky over an expanse of green grass. In a medical
school theright atmosphere may be a
million dollar laboratory reeking
with the odor of antiseptics. A group
of history scholars may prefer the
musty smell of yellowing "original"
documents. And in our new Acheson
Hall of Chemistry the atmosphere is
to be made desirable by a vast system
of ventilators which will protect researchers from poisonous fumes if
they are generated.
A common sight in our present
overcrowded colleges is the sharing
of a "private" office by five or six
professors. This could hardly be
thought of as the right atmosphere
for either student conferences or study
requiring concentrated thought. Upto-date colleges provide private offices for every teacher of whatever
rank and in many cases private study
chambers for scholars in libraries and
laboratories.
There seems to be little disagreement on the basic proposition that
to make of a student "a complete
man" requires a lot of everything,
including grade-A teaching. Our
problem is not so much the findmg of
an exactlyright balance in apportioning funds as the finding of sources of
revenue which may be utilized for the
total need. That working man whom
we described before as just scraping
by with barely enough for food,
clothing and shelter could hardly
provide an atmosphere of culture for
his family. Likewise, our oft-praised
pioneer forefathers who spent long
hours hewing logs and plowing
fields had little time to sponsor symphony orchestras or even think out a
better mousetrap.
If the lamp of learning is to burn
brightly and show the way to truth,
it must have a rich supply of oil.
Otherwise it shall flicker and cast
evil shadows on the wall or go out
entirely, leaving students in fearsome darkness.

�THE TEACHER AND RESEARCH, by Dr. Raymond H. Ewell
{.vntinutdfrom page

done by individuals, by industrial
laboratories, by government agencies, in independent research institutes, and these efforts have added to
the store of man's knowledge. But
the vast bulk of what we call man's
knowledge today was originated by
the teacher in the universities of the
world.
Research is also a very important
factor in the prestige of a university.
In fact, research is probably the most
important single factor in determining the prestige of a university, in
causing it to be regarded as a first
rank university. Harvard and the
University ofCalifornia do not necessarily teach undergraduate curricula
any better than Amherst or Reed College. But the former have worldfamous, highly productive research
programs with outstanding teachers
directing thisresearch and this is the
principal basis ofthe prestigeof those
universities. The college teacher is,
and should be, extremely interested
in the prestige of his Universitycaused by extensive research. This
prestige may generally effect his status as a teacher through the association of research and in many cases
may effect his salary status.
This is not to imply that teaching
is any less important than research
in the overall university structute,
but it is apparently true that research attracts more public attention
than teaching does, and thereby conditions the opinion of the reading
public regarding the relative rank or
prestige of a university. This is especially true when speaking of the national reputation of a university, as
contrasted with the local reputation,
although research is undoubtedly a
major factor in also determining the
local reputation of a university.
Again I want to emphasize that I do

not mean to minimize the importance of teaching for that is the real

heart of the university, but it is a
fact of modern life that teaching, no
matter how excellent, just does not
have the attention-getting value of
research.
Research activity in a university
can be measured by various yard-

sticks, but probably the best yardstick is the production of doctorates,
including Ph.D., Sc.D. and Ed.D.
degrees. Since most of the research
at a university is conducted by doctoral candidates under the direction
of professorial advisors, the number
of doctorates produced by a university is extremely important.
The University of Buffalo during
the seven-year period 1950-56 produced doctorates as follows:
Education
Natural sciences

16 per year (avg.)

8 per year (avg.)

Social sciences and
humanities
4 per year (avg.)

Total doctorates 28 per year (avg.)
In the production of doctorates
during this period The University of
Buffalo ranked 62nd among all the
universities and colleges of the United States. Columbia was first with an
average of 557 doctorates per year.
In education doctorates U.B. ranked
26th, in social sciences and humanities 71st, and in natural sciences 78th.
Therefore, we have a long way to go.
One of the major aims of The University ofBuffalo should be to climb
up to 30th or 40th place in the doctorate ladder during the next decade.
The production of doctorates is not
only a good yardstick ofresearch activity in a university, but it is one of
the best yardsticks of the general

prestige of a university and of its importance in the national scene.
I would like to mention an example of the rise of a university from
my own experience. The University
is Purdue, where I was a student in
1925-1930 and a professor in 1937-41.
Purdue started its first real research
in the mid-19205, granted its first
Ph.D. degree in 1927 and even in
1935 ranked only 56th in graduate
work in the nation according to an
article by Professor Walter C. Eells
in the December 1957 issue of the
Association of American Colleges Bulletin. Since 1935 Purdue has grown
rapidly in many areas of graduate
work and in 1957 ranked 16th in the
nation according to Professor Eell's
article. Therefore, it is possible for a
university to rise quite rapidly in the
scale of graduate work and research
activity.
There are many factors thatwould
help The University of Buffalo become a really front rank university
money, buildings, geniuses, Nobel
Prize winners—to mention only a
few. But a more active research program is certainly a prime factor in
reaching this objective.
The teacher inresearch is of major
importance in achieving the goal of
a first rank university. The teacheris
the catalyst of theresearch programs.
It is the teacher who contributes the
basic ideas and directs the research
work.
The research accomplished under
the genius and efforts of the teacher
attracts other outstanding scholars
to the university and also attracts
money to increase endowments to
raise the economic status of the
faculty.
Research needs the teacher, the
university needs teachers and research. Without both it is not a uni-

MOST IMPORTANT sin-

I gle quality of a teacher is his

ability to teach. There are too
many teachers armed with all the
necessary degrees who fail to present
their lessons in a clear, concise and

convincing manner.
Students and alumni are familiar
with the professor who recites in a
monotone from a series of texts and
reference books; or the professor who
spends an hour presenting his lecture
to the top of the lectern in a barely
distinguishable mumble.
The lectern receives little information from this privileged intercourse,
and it is doubtful if the students are
enlightened at all. Many students
would prefer to sit at home with the
text rather than suffer in a stuffy
classroom in an attempt to keep
awake. Regardless of the intellectual
keenness of such an instructor, he is
the bane of the lecture hall.
Students realize that professors are
hired on the basis of their knowledge
of material and ability to present it
capably. Very few expect their professors to be employed on the basis
of a buoyant personality and a pleasing smile. They do not expect instructors to be comedians or professional gladhanders. A professor who
maintains a stern and dignified exterior will rarely sufferby comparison
with a frustrated Harpo Marx.
32

No student expects his professor to
be "one of the boys." Yet, no one
likes to have the unapproachable
teachers. The student can derive a
great deal of satisfaction and instruction from informal sessions with faculty members, and this is something
that even the busiest instructor
would do well to encourage.
Most students tend to prefer a professor who exhibits a personal interest in them and their progress, but
few demand or even expect thathe be
a combination father confessor and
den mother. Students have great respect and appreciationfor a professor
who exhibits respect and appreciation for their efforts.
The subject of grades is a touchy
one. While students may publicly
revile a hard grader, they will nonetheless admire him if he is fair. What
constitutes the difference between a
fair grader and an unfair one is difficult to discern. Fraternities have
lists ofprofessors noted for being easy
graders and lists of persons whose
courses it is just as well to avoid. It
cannot be denied that what passes
for an "A" with some professors
hardly rates a "C" in another's grading system. Much of the hectic confusion during registration is due to
the frantic scurryings of panicked
students who have discovered that
they have pulled a professor who is a

notoriously unsympathetic grader.
Students would appreciate more uniformity of standards in this respect.
Students like to see professors taking an active interest in school activities, but do not insist upon it. To
see an instructor at a football game
or acting as faculty advisor to a student group, contributes a sense of
community whkh cannot be captured in the more formal classroom
situation. Most students realize the
priority of other matters in the professor's life and will not demand this
extra-curricular participation. If,
however, a professor does decide to
serve as a student activity advisor,
they will expect him to devote his
whole-hearted attention to it and
will resent any slighting or indifferent attitude to what they regard
as their proper requests.
Currently one reads books and
articles from authorities who flay
each other for advocating teaching
ability versus the importance of
factual background. Actually, both
of these positions contain merit. The
university professor has the double
duty of knowing his material and
being able to present it adequately.
This, basically, is all the mature student requires from his professor and
his respect for the true "educator"
will reflect the instructor's competence in these two basic requirements.

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

this popular alumni activity.

�ALUMNI DAY
U.B. Audit-Visual

THE

1959 Alumni Day, Saturday, June 6, proved
conclusively that each year this event is going to
get bigger and better. Approximately 1000 alumni,
their families and friends turned out on a beautiful sundrenched day to take part in all or a portion of the varied

activities.
The "Alumni College" attracted over four times the
number of people this year. Registration for the three
lectures totaled over 200.
Dr.. Marvin Farber, distinguished professor of philosophy and chairman of the department of philosophy,
received a standing ovation after his lecture on "Existentialism."
Dr. John T. Horton, BA'26, professor of history and
chairman of the department of history and government
and Henry Lee Smith, professor of linguistics and English
and chairman of the department of anthropology and
linguistics lectured to a full house in the Tower's skyview dining room.
An athlete-scholar award was presented for the first
time by the Alumni Association to a deserving senior
who compiled a high scholastic average and excelled on
the athletic field. The first recipient of this award was
Charles Tirone, an outstanding guard on Dick Offen-

hamer's Lambert Cup football team. Tirone was a dean's
list student during his four years on campus.
The children's section of the program was as active as
ever with only one noticeable change; there are more
children each year. Pony rides, carousel, fire engine
rides, swimming and baseball kept the kids busy.
Another innovation was the conducted tour. This
year, through the courtesy of Kelly Volkswagon Service,
the touring entourage were driven about the campus
with full view of the buildings through the adequate
window space in the "wagon."
As usual, in an expandinguniversity, there was ground
to break for a new building. This year it was the Health
Sciences Building. Along with the ground breaking ceremonies were awards for distinguished service to outstanding alumni.
The TUNK area was more bustling than ever thanks
to a wonderful performance by an eight piece "German
Band" that played for more than three hours. In addition
to furnishing the entertainment in the tent they also led
the parade to and from the ground breaking ceremony
near Capen Hall.
The Day's activities were climaxed by the annual
General Alumni Board dinner at the Saturn Club and
the Alumni Dance at the University Club.

The SamuelP. Capen Alumni Award
for 1959 was presented to Robert E. Rich,
the Annual General
Alumni Board Dinner held at the Saturn
Club on June 6.
The citation was read by outgoing
president of the G.A.8.. Harry G. LaForge. PhG'23. MD"34 and presented to
Mr. Rich by incoming president Charles
Percival. Jr.. BS(BusV47.
The citation read in part, as follows:
ES(Bus)'3s. at

Our honored Alumnus was granted
his Bachelor of Sciencedegree in Business
Administration in 1935. climaxing a brilliant four yearsof achievements in scholarship, athletics, and campus leadership.
Captain of both the football and
wrestling teams as an undergraduate, he
later employed his prowess to coach the
University Freshman football teams. So
close has our honored Alumnus been associated with the University for the last
twenty-five years, that we imagine a day
seldom ends without his having seriously
considered the needs of his Alma Mater.
In 1936, he was elected Alumni Representative to the Athletic Council and in
1951 and 1952. he was President of the
Athletic Council. He served as a member
of the University CentennialCommittee
in 1947 and the Development Committee
in 1952. Again in 1958he was drafted for
service—this time as Chairman of the
Alumni Division of the Development
Campaign. A past President of the General Alumni Board, he still acts as a member of the Board's Executive Committee
and serves as Chairmanof the Leadership
Scholarship Committee. Since 1950.
when he joined the Council of the University, he has been very active on im-

portant Committees,including the General Administration Committee and the
Buildings and Grounds Committee.
Our distinguished Alumnus has
brought honor to the University and to
himself through many acts of patriotic

and civic service. Examples are his work
as a member of the War Production
Board in World War II and his recent
chairmanship of the Mayor's Full Employment Committee in Buffalo. Currently he is President of the Better Business Bureau and a member of the Board
of Directors of the Boys Club of Buffalo.
His business enterprises rangefrom the
presidency of his own company to directorship in a number of well-known industrial firms.
However, after reviewing all these accomplishments, we must express our
greatest esteem and affection for this
Alumnus for his warm and generouspersonality which inspires faith and good
fellowship wherever he goes.
It is fitting, therefore,that the General
Alumni Board of The University of
Buffalo presents its highest honor—The
Samuel Paul Capen Alumni Award —to
a great-hearted and distinguished alumnus. Robert E. Rich.

GAB Elects Charles Percival, BS (Bus)'47, President
Buffalo. He is the youngest alumnus to
ever hold this highest of alumni positions.

Mr. Percival's leadership in Univer-

sity activities began in his student days
where he was president of his senior class,
secretary of the Board of Managers, managing editor of the student newspaper
"Bee." advertising managerof the "Buffalonian.'" Moving-L~p-Day chairman,
president of Beta Chi Epsilon Fraternity,
managerof the University bookstore and

tapped to Bisonhead in 1946.
As an alumnus Mr. Percival has been

Miss Sylvia Beach, international literary figure—Doctor of Letters.
Each honor was conferred by Chancellor Clifford C. Furnas while the citations were read by Dr. Merton W. Ertell,
dean of the University College.

ROBERT MOSES
"Finding a bachelor of arts at Yale too

limiting, Mr. Moses earned another BA
at Oxford and a PhD at Columbia before he started his picturesque career, the
end of which, happily, noone can foresee.
"During his programsof construction
of great public works he has warred with
politicians of all camps, and battle scarred
though he is from skirmishes with Shakespeareans and Indians, he retains his
verve, his vitality and his prose style.
"Defeated rarely, daunted never, Mr.
Moses has served his city, his state, and
his country with generosity and intelli-

10

gence;children for many generations to
come will find their lives enriched by the
range of his imagination and the extent
of his accomplishment."
In presenting the award. Dr. Furnas
called Mr. Moses '"planner, conservationist, creator, great citizen of the city
and the state of New York, and now
sharing your talents with the Niagara
Frontier."

DR. FOSDICK
The citation naming Dr. Fosdick said:
'"His name a household word in this city.
Dr. Fosdick was born in Buffalo in 1878,
the son of the late Frank S. Fosdick,once
principal of the high school which now
bears his name.
"Dr. Fosdick's three earned degrees,
from Colgate, the Union Theological
Seminary, and Columbia, sparkle faintly
in the constellation of honorary degrees
which has signalized his eminence as
teacher and scholar,preacher and pastor.
""He is best known to the laity for the
perception and serenity of his sermons;
he is no less respected by his colleagues
for his profound work on the theology of
the Old Testament.
""And he has earned the gratitude of
many vestries for his noble teaching of
practical theology for 20 years at Union
Theological Seminary—awork he carried
on in addition to his duties as preaching
pastor at the First Presbyterian Church
in New York and later as minister to the
Park Avenue Baptist Church—now
named the Riverside Church, where he
is pastor emeritus."

DR. BAILAR
Dr. Bailar was honored as: "The son
of a professor of chemistry, and the
teacher, associate and friend of chemists,
Dr. Bailar has guided more than half a
hundred students to the PhD degree.

"Now president of the American
Chemical Society, which numbers 75,000
members, indefatigable speaker on behalf of science, has yet managed to be a
consultant to industryand, more notable,
to accomplish distinguished research.
"He is currently engaged in co-ordination polymers which, translated to the
layman, means that he is working on
these plastics which will withstand high
temperatures: Perhaps Dr. Bailar's efforts
will enable us more quickly to reach the
moon."

DR. GIBBON
Gibbon, the University
said: "Born in Philadelphia, bachelor of
arts at Princeton at the age of 19, and
doctor of medicine at Jefferson Medical
College in Philadelphia at the age of 23.
Dr. Gibbon interned at Pennsylvania
Hospital where he soon impressed his
associates with his rare gifts and his great

Honoring Dr.

promises.

"He has kept his promises, and he has
developed his gifts. A pioneer in the
surgeryof the heart and lungs, famousfor

his work on the modern extra corporeal
pump oxygenator on which open-heart
operations depend. Dr. Gibbon has been
honored by his colleagues with the high
office of president in surgical societies in
America and an honorary fellowship in
the Royal Society of Surgeons in England.
"Independent to the point of foolhardiness, he is still a Democrat in Pennsylvania, a tennis player, and a farmer."

MISS BEACH
Miss Beach was honored as "An
American citizen wearing the French
Legion of Honor, Miss Beach has lived
since the end of the first World War in
Paris.

�How Tough is Tough?
Fall Football Outcome Hinges on Many Ifs
by CHUCK BURR, Director of Sports Publicity

The University ofBuffalofootball Bulls
should be "very tough" in 1959. That
was the consensus amongobservers of the
Blue-White scrimmage that culminated
spring practice last May 2.
How tough is very tough? That depends upon whom is asked the question.
To Coach Dick Offenhamer, "very
tough" means about the same as last
year. (Ed. note—It is happily remembered the 1958 U.B. team won 8 and lost
only one in the process of capturing the
Lambert Cup, emblematic of small college supremacyin the East.)
To qualified lay observers,ie. reporters,
radio and TV broadcasters, long time
followersof the Bulls, "very tough" has
an entirely different connotation. To
them it prophesies a stronger ball club
than last year—a team with more overall
speed, size, depth and experience.
Of course, coaches are noted for their
extreme conservatism just as reporters
are inclined along overly enthusiastic
lines when they engagein that cheerful
nonsense exclusive to sports Americana
long range forecasting.
Somewherebetwixt and between Offenhamers comparative pessimism and
the reporters unqualified optimism should
lie the true expectations of the U.B. football Bulls next fall. The objectively discerning fan will recognize this and draw
a fairly accurate conclusion thatthe Bulls
will be better than their coaches believe
although not quite as powerful as the
writers and spielers will ultimately predict for publication.
A sweeping generalization of the team
indicates an abundance of backfield
strength in depth —a very happy situation that has not existed heretofore.At
quarterback, for instance,U.B. has no
fewer than five pretty fair hands —four
with good varsity experience; the other,
soph GeneGuerrie, already touted as the
finest passer to have "come down the
pike" since Hector was a pup. Gord
Bukaty, slightlysensational at the end of
last year, returns as a junior. Last season's experience will rank Bukaty among
the very best in the East—large or small
college. Then there is junior Joe Oliverio.

who threw three TD passes in the BlueWhite embroilio, senior Fred Kogut and
senior Jim Allegretto. Allegretto was a
first stringer two seasons ago and in last
year's rout of Columbia, came off the
bench to direct the Bulls' devastating second half attack.
And finally, Mr. Guerrie—6T—l7s
pounds of passing, running and defensive
wizardry—who may be just too good to
be true.
At halfback, the situation is equally
impressive. Willie Evans, the team's leading overland ground gainer, will be back
for his senior campaign. With designs on
a pro career—Whistlin' Willie is determined "to make it big." Skip Maue—
breakaway back extraordinary, Steve
Salasny and Paul Szymendera. a couple
of powerhouse, short-yardage runners,
won their letters and plenty of complimentary prose last season. They'll return. Leave us. also, not forget sophomores Wes Wertman and Ron Clayback, both of whom looked so good as
freshmen last year and in the spring

practice grind.

Ifthe above fails to impress as to number, size and ability—consider the Bulls
will have Bill Brogan operating at halfback in 1959. The injury prone Brogan,
who never had a real chance to live up
to his reputation as the Bulls best defensive back and most powerful runner,
figures to be hale and hearty come September following summer foot surgery.
And. of course, Brogan is a pro grade
kicker. He represents proof positive the
quick kick can be an offensive weapon
as well as a defensivesalvation. (Ask

Harvard).
At fullback,

veterans

Tom Mac-

Dougall and Gerry Gergley have made
it possible for Offenhamer to switch
Brogan to halfback. Both came along
beautifullyas sophomores in 1958.

—

AJong the internal line, the Bulls
even according to Offenhamer—should
be better than averagedespite some serious graduation losses. Co-captain Lou
Reale, Jack Welch, Chuck Tirone and
Joe O'Grady are gone. Nevertheless
there remains plenty of experience, size.

speed, mobility and depth. Bernie Fagan
and Co-captain Sam Sandersat tackle
are backed by lettermen Jack Dempsey
and George Delaney. A couple of 220-pound sophomores. Ed Mooradian and
Bob Miller, will also be on hand—chock
full of potential, although in need of
actual game experience to bring it out.
Co-captain Stan Kowalski and Joe
Shifflet, a couple of hard-rock Pennsylvanians. can be more than adequately
spelled at guard by veteran returnees

Bob Yanchuk and Phil Bamford. A
couple of tough sophs John Hartman and
Bill Roof will also do much to take up the
slack caused by the departure of Tirone
and O'Grady, two stalwarts at guard
last year.
Ray Paolini, Chuck Scott and soph
Lucian Lodestro, most valuable frosh
lineman in 1958,will ease the pain of the
loss of Reale.
Now to the debit side of the ledger.
"Yes, Mabel, there is a debit side." The
Bulls are in trouble at end. Co-Captain
Nick Bottini and Dave Brogan, last season's fine first stringers are gone. Only
Cariey Keats and Bob Adams have experience, although Bill Beckerich sawsome action last season and showed well
this past spring. The rest of the end corps
is completely without experience and, to
make matters infinitely worse, there are
not too many of them. Transfer student
from Notre Dame, John Powley, Nate
Bliss, out last year with an injury, and
sophomores Bob Ranus and Joe Barke
must prove themselves under fire.
Until they do. the Bulls will continue
to be in deep trouble at the flanks. Therein, possibly, lies the basis for Offenhamer's
conservatism. To further belabor that
trite old saw about the chain and its
weakest link; "a football team is never
stronger than its weakest position." And
the Bulls' ends are weak.
Between now and the start of the campaign, September 26 against Temple,
Offenhamer and staff will devote much
of their overtime hours to strengthening
the ends. If they are successful,
the Bulls
will be mighty hard to stop as they dig
in to defendthe Lambert Cup.

�A Report on

The University of Buffalo's 1959 football schedule includes five holdovers from
1958 and three newcomers comprise the
list of opponents to date. Temple, Bucknell, Baldwin-Wallace, Cortland and
Western Reserve were all played and
with the exception of B.W.—defeated
last year. Rhode Island, Gettysburg and
Marshall are the strangers who will be
making their first appearances on the
U.B. schedule in at least the past several
seasons.
TheBulls have not tangled with either
Gettysburg or Marshall heretofore.
Rhode Island and U.B. enjoyed a short
two-game series in 1949-50 with the
Bulls winning both games.

Rhode Island, Gettysburg and Marshall replace Harvard, Columbia and

Lehigh on the schedule. The latter threesome, all of whom contributed substantially to U.B.s impressive 8-1, Lambert
Cup winningrecord in !958 were "prestige" schools the Bulls "hated to lose."

However, as Athletic Director Jim
Peelle points out ; ';we knew we could
play Harvard and Columbia only under

Peelle explained the late release of the
schedule as well as the fact that only
eight gameshave been made final to date.
"'lt's one of those things that often happens when a school's athletic program is
on the upswing. We didn't have any idea
we would be as far advanced so soon.
Certainly, no one expected Coach Dick
Offenhamer to win the Lambert Cup or
to come up with a record of eight and

one."
'"As a consequence, a couple of schools
previously signed, requested to be released from their contracts. And a couple

of others we had hoped to play in 1959,
suddenly lost interest."
'"In Gettysburg, Marshall and Rhode
Island, we will play three very tough
opponents. All three play excellent
crowd-pleasing football and the best part
of it is we were able to schedule all of
them as home games."
liWe certainly do not anticipate we

will have a late schedule release evenyear," said Peelle. "We have only one
date open in 1960and three in 1961."'
Peelle refused to mention names of
schools alreadysigned for 1960and 1961.
but he admitted the 1960 schedule alone
"will surpass in attractiveness any schedule in the history of U.8., including
1958."

A Report on Spring Sports
The University of Buffalo has closed,
for practical purposes, an artistically successfulintercollegiate spring sports schedule. The baseball tennis and track and
field Bulls—among them won 25 game
matches and meets while losing only
nine. Additionally, the track team,which
had a dual meet mark of five and two,
won its Annual Invitational affair involving seven colleges and universities.
Coach Jim Peelle's baseball team
opened with a blazing burst. The Bulls
wracked up nine straight victories before
losing their first game—anextra inning
thriller to Brockport. CatcherRon Pajak
led the team in batting with a .377 average. Close behind were outfielder Bob
Adams and first baseman Bill Monkarsh
at .368 and .367 respectively. Adams and
Monkarsh were the big R. 8.1, men with
19 and 15 respectively. Southpaw Irv
Brody was the pitching stopper. The
Bulls also got a lot of mound mileage
from JimAllegretto and lefty Gary Fries.
Highlight of the tennis season. Bill Sanford's 11 as coach,was a 5-4 victory over
Syracuse. It marked the Bulls' first victory over the Orangemen in the history
of their competition. Leon Smith and
Mickey Graver, numbers one and two
singles respectively, will compete in the
Eastern Intercollegiate Lawn Tennis
Championships at Colgate in early June.
Track appears on the upswing after
some lean seasons. Emery Fisher's crew
rang up the top U.B. record in quite a
spell and prospects for the future are
bright. Ken Becker, whom Fisher calls
the best distance man he has ever had at
16

U.8., will be graduated come another

spring, but the amazingly versatile Paul
Amato, who scored points in six events
throughout, will be back as will pintsized Izzy Perlman,a 10-secondhundredyard dash man, pole vault star Mike
Eggert, Rick Dußois, a rapidly improving hurdler, weightman Sam Sanders

University College Summer
Planning Conference Offers
Incoming Freshmen A Glimpse
Of College Life
A new concept of orientating freshmen was instituted this summer at the University.
The new method is called the Summer Planning
Conference, a two day conference planned to guide
and assist prospective freshmen in selecting a program ofstudy. Italso affords the neophyte a glimpse
of campus life and an opportunity to become acquainted with many of the students with whom he
will be working and studying. The new student also
has an opportunity to meet with members of the
faculty on a more informal basis than he will meet
them after the semester begins.
In this first year of the conference, six sessions
were held, each totaling approximately 150 students. This year the conference was on a voluntary
basis. In the future the University College plans
to make conference attendance mandatory.
The two day meeting is crowded with various
activities, some work, some play. By means of pictures we have followed Linda Bell through these
activities.
Linda is from Harbor Creek, Pennsylvania, a
suburb of Erie. She is 18 years old and is in the
secretarial course of the associate degree program.
At Harbor Creek High School, Linda ranked first
in a class of 117 graduates. She was president of
the student council, class valedictorian and editor
of the school's yearbook.

�The School of Pharmacy
By DR. DANIEL H. MURRAY, Dean, School of Pharmacy

The Early Years (1886-1910)
The University ofBuffalo began as a medical school in 1846. Up until that
time most of the physicians and pharmacists of the country had been trained
under an internship or apprenticeship system going back to colonial times
and ultimately to the pattern of eighteenth century England. There were no
significant number of pharmaceutical manufacturing firms, and very few
hospitals. The practice of medicine was almost entirely general practice, and
the pharmacist of the day was a manufacturer, compounder and dispenser.
His dispensary was the area "manufactory," where tinctures, elixirs, syrups,
ointments and pills were all prepared and dispensed. It was a busy and
interesting life, albeit somewhat rigorous, as shown by the following set of
drug store rules, 1854:

—

Theold University Main and Virginia.

"Open at 6:00 A. M., close at 9:00 P. M." "Any employee who is in
the habit of smoking Spanish cigars, getting shaved at a barber
shop, going to dances and other places of amusement, will most
surely give his employer reason to suspect his integrity and allaround honesty. Each employee must attend Sunday school every
Sunday. Men employees are given one evening a week for courting
purposes, and two if they go to prayer meeting regularly. After 14
hours of work in the store, the remaining leisure time must be
spent in reading good literature."

Despite the unattractiveness, to our modern eyes, of such a schedule, the

practice of pharmacy nourished, and in 1886, the second division of the

A pharmacy of the 78905.

University was instituted with the opening of the School of Pharmacy in the
University building, at the corner of Main and Virginia streets.
Perusal of the University documents of that day are interesting, even
instructive, and bring back something of the atmosphere of the early days of
the University. "Buffalo (1886) is a city of 300,000 population. Ithasanarea
of 42 square miles. There are 2500 "manufactories" which give employment
to 50,000 "operatives." (Pridefully, readers were reminded that this latter
figure represented an increase of nearly 200% since 1880). Of the 250 miles
of paved streets, about one-half were laid with asphalt—(a greater portion,
says the 1886 chronicler, than any other city in the world). A major point
of convenience was stressed in the University Bulletin of 1886. "Eight lines
of street cars pass the University Building and it is, therefore, easy of access
from any part of the city."
Some of the flavor of those distant days returns to us in the recognition
that Senator E. Carleton Sprague, Chancellor of the University, was Lecturer
in Pharmacal Jurisprudence. We find also that "in the laboratories each
working space is provided with Niagara water, a porcelain sink, and a connection with the main water pipe."
The early history of the School of Pharmacy is to a large extent the history
of one man, Dean Willis C. Gregory. Dr. Gregory, M.D. '82, became Dean
of the new School of Pharmacy in 1890 and held this position for 46 years,
guiding the steps of the new division and presiding over the changes and
expansions which came along as the years went by. In 1904, a second important name in the School's history emerges, when we find the name
Dr. Albert P. Sy listed in the University Bulletin as Professor of Organic
Chemistry and German. In this title was the hint of things to come.

�The Middle Years (1910-1937)
The middle years for the School of Pharmacy were years of growth and
Idevelopment
for the University as a whole. The School of Pharmacy played

an important part in this development. On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the School of Pharmacy, in 1936, Chancellor Capen commented
as follows: "Early in its career the School of Pharmacy became the germinating centre for other University developments. Long before the establishment
of the College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Chemistry of the
school, under the farsighted direction of Dean Gregory and Dr. Sy, expanded and offered advanced training for chemical specialists. Other basic
sciences and foreign languages were also added to the offerings of the
School. The foundations thus laid, especially in physics, chemistry, botany
and geology, were such as the College of Arts and Sciences could build upon
when that division made its appearance in the University organism."
The College of Arts and Sciences was developed in the years from 1913
onward. In 1920, as a result of the efforts of Dean Gregory, funds were obtained with which to erect the first new building of the present campus,
Foster Hall, to house the School of Pharmacy and the Department of Chemistry of the new College of Arts and Sciences. In 1922 Dean Gregory moved
the School of Pharmacy out to the campus, and in the years following watched
the emergence and development of other colleague divisions on the present
site of the University.
During these middle years the School of Pharmacy continued to develop
its own program. From its beginning in 1886, up to 1937, its offerings expanded from a one year program, totaling 220 clock hours to a four year
program, totaling 3200 clock hours.

The Recent Years (1938-1959)

�time, approximately half of the funds expanded each yearfor research in the
various life sciences are utilized in pharmaceutical industry. Arising out
such intensive attention to the development of modern, highly potent drug^^
substances, has come a new and expanded definition of pharmacy.
"Pharmacy is that profession which is concerned with the art and science of preparing
from material and synthetic sources suitable and convenient materials for distribution
and use in the treatment and prevention of disease. It embraces a knowledge of the
identification, selection, pharmacologic action, preservation, combination, analysis and
standardization of drugs and medicines. It also includes their proper and safe distribution."
In the light of this modern definition there are now a large number of
careers open to the graduates of schools of pharmacy.

In Industry
a. Pharmaceutical or Medicinal Chemist
Extraction and purification of drugs from natural sources, (for example,

insulin from pancreas, antibiotics from molds and bacteria, morphine and
other alkaloids from drug plants).
Synthesis and analysis of drugs by the techniques of chemistry (for example,
the sulfa drugs, vitamins and hormones, barbiturates, antihistamines and
tranquiiizers).

b. Pharmacistformulator
Design and manufacture of formulations containing the active drugs—
tablets, capsules, syrups, elixirs, ointments, sprays.
c. Pharmacologist or pharmaceutical biochemist
Employment of experimental animals and various biological systems to
investigate the mode of action of various drug substances.
d. Medical ServiceRepresentativi
Duties involve advice and information to physicians and pharmacists in
regard to a company's products and the promotion of these products to both
these groups of practitioners.
In Hospital Pharmacy
The pharmacist in a hospital environment works very closely with the
medical and nursing staff, serves on the therapeutics committee, and carries
out small scale manufacturing. Hospital pharmacy is a very rapidly expanding field. The number of pharmacists in this field has more than tripled in
ten years. With the rapid increase in the growth of hospitals in recent years,
a continued increase in the number of hospital pharmacists may be anticipated. Approximately one third of all drugs and medicines are utilized in the
hospital environment at the present time. It is interesting that 40 per cent of
the pharmacists in hospitals are women. It is clear that this will be an expanding career opportunity for women in pharmacy.

In Retail Pharmacy
Approximately four hundred new medicinal formulations are introduced
in medical practice each year. Thus the problem of distribution, both of the
products themselves and of information about them becomes increasingly
complex. Retail pharmacy is the largest single segment of pharmacy, embracing generally two types of retail establishment—the large, multi-functioned shopping centre pharmacy and the smaller exclusively professional
prescription pharmacy. While the manufacturing and compounding functions of the modern retail pharmacist have largely shifted to other segments
of the profession, the matter of staying abreast of the rapidly increasing
numbers of medicinals is an increasingly difficult problem requiring progressively more advanced and thorough fundamental education in the basic
pharmaceutical sciences.
Alumni

�r

Ninety per cent of the medicinals of 1959 were not in existence ten years
ago and itis clear that the retail pharmacist of the years ahead must enlarge
his knowledge continually throughout his entire professional life. Pharmacy
is very probably unique in its high obsolescence rate, as newer and improved
medicinal formulations displace those of only a few years before from medical
practice.

The above figures are based on presently available data and conservative
national predictions. For example, it is estimated that in 1960 the gross sales
"* (at manufacturers level) of drugs and medicines will be close to 2 billion
■» dollars. In 1975 gross sales will be 5.5 billion dollars requiring approximately
triple the research and development staff. Inaddition a greatly increased per
centage of medical service representatives will be pharmaceutically trained.
At the present time there are approximately 7000 hospitals in the country,
employing 5200 pharmacists. In 1975there will be 11,000hospitals employing
15,000 pharmacists. With increased utilization by the society of health insurance plans, more and more people will make use of hospital facilities, including the supplying of drugs. The hospital pharmacies of 1975 will dispense
over 50% of all medicines prescribed.
The above indications, together with the trend in retail practice toward
the larger shopping center pharmacy, will limit the number of retail outlets
in 1975 to the present number of approximately 50,000, each staffed by three

The Years Ahead
A projection of the activities of the School of Pharmacy in the years ahead
must take account of the above outlined trends and also of factors related to
the geographic position of the University. In 1975, approximately 30,000
pharmaceutically trained personnel will be employed by pharmaceutical industry. The replacement rate is about 6-7%, or 2000 per year. With the
concentration of pharmaceutical industry remaining primarily in the east,

ment. At a replacement rate of 6% per year, the schools must train 900 per
year in 1975, or 10-12 per school. However, hospital concentration in 1975
will be primarily in 6 states—New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois,
California, and Florida. Here at the University we are approximately centrally located with respect to the first three of these and it seems clear that in
1970-75 there will be a requirement to supply 25-30 hospital pharmacists
per year.

The Curriculum in Pharmacy
The School of Pharmacy is now beginning the development of several
variations of its curriculum, pointing toward the three major segments of
pharmacy —industrial, hospital andretail. In 1960,along with other Schools
of Pharmacy, a five year program will be instituted. The curricular variations
will proceed out of a core curriculum of two years in University College. In
the upper three years a variety of elective courses will allow a selection by a
student in his field of major interest. For example, it is clear that retail
pharmacy will carry a tremendous burden of distribution of medicinals in
the years ahead. Thus it will be necessary to expand offerings in management,
marketing and pharmaceutical economics. On the other hand, the hospital
pharmacist will be functioning more and more as a therapeutic consultant
within the hospital environment, and increased attention to physiology and
biochemistry and pharmacology will be given in his curriculum. An approximately similarly weighted curriculum will be appropriate to the medical
service representative course pattern, although he will require additional
offerings in management and marketing as well. Finally, the student who
plans a career in pharmaceutical research and development will undertake
a program weighted strongly on the side of product formulation, analysis,
synthesis and biochemistry.

Physical Facilities

"

In September of 1960, the School of Pharmacy moves into its new quarters

in the Health Sciences Building, presently under construction. Completion
of this building will bring together on the University campus a complex of
the various professions related to health—medicine, dentistry, pharmacy,
nursing and biology. The curricular patterns outlined above underlie the
design of the approximately 50,000 square feet of space to be utilized by the
School of Pharmacy. The various major facilities of the School in its new
home will include laboratories in the following:
Manufacturing Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Preparations, Dispensing,
Model Pharmacy, Pharmacology, Physical Pharmacy and Drug Product
Formulation, Drug Analysis, Organic Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Chemistry of Natural Products.

Alumni of Pharmacy
As part of a University for whom a major objective is that of service to its
area, a prime function of the School of Pharmacy has been that of providing
pharmacists to the Western New York area. At the present time, it has over
2,000 practicing pharmacy alumni, located mainly in the surrounding communities. Continuing relationships with its alumnihave beenfostered through
the years, particularly by Dean Emeritus Lemon. These relationships are
perhaps best exemplified by the successful inauguration, by practicing pharmacists, of an Annual Participating Fund for Pharmaceutical Education.
The existence of the fund makes possible additions to staff and further individual attention in the instructional program. Some 400 pharmacy alumni,
under the leadership of co-chairmen, Mearl D. Pritchard, PhG'2l and
Howard H. Kohler, PhG'22, are now active participants in the fund. This
very much appreciated support by alumni and friends of the School of Phar- I
macy is particularly helpful at a time when the School is moving to new
facilities and an expanded program.

of today is at the crossroads! There
is little question that as college enroll-

,

ments

increase, there will be

greater

diversity in the student population.
The current popular impression of
the college student, as a late adolescent who regards college chiefly as a
social activity, is no longer true. No
longer does the college student regard his studies as a kind of admis12

of effort of college students is rising
steadily, and their interest in their
studies is generally serious—too serious, according to some observers.
They devote considerable time and
thought to the kind of training best
suited to the carrying out of their
life plans. Their life outside of the
college is more important to them
today than it has ever been. They
are highly individualistic and seek
independence rather thanconformity.
Joe College is no more.
College fraternities will have to
make adjustments to this new type of
student in a mass quality of educational environment if they are to exist
on any campus.
The way fraternities recognize and
accept these new responsibilities will
be the result of a point of view rather
than any physical program or operation. Unless these adjustments are
made, fraternities run the risk of becoming insignificant or even eventually eliminated from the college
community.

Meet the Challenge
Can fraternities meet this challenge? A comparison of the fraternity of the "roaring twenties" with
that of the present day indicates that
fraternities do have the capacity to
change. Back in the eighteenth century their primary role was literary
and intellectual. Subsequently the
social aspects assumed greater prominence. Today the emphasis must
again include the intellectual aspects
iffraternities are to fit into the changing pattern. In fact, fraternities on
this campus have not reached the
same development due to their late
start in organizing.

The increasing complexity of our
society, with its needs for greater
training in the technological and professional skills and its demands for
broadened educational opportunities for all has enlarged fraternity
purposes.
Present-day emphasis on scholarship is an encouraging indication
that fraternities are becoming aware
of the adjustments that must be
realistically put into effect if they are
to justify their position as part of the
totaleducational program of the University. Unfortunately, there are still
fraternities, whose important goal is
not theattainment of the scholarship
trophy, but the winning of the intra-

mural championship, the Homecoming campaign, or the reputation of
throwing the "best" social event of
the year. Certainly these activities
have their place, but because fraternities have become so closely
identified with the social aspects of
their existence, they, at times, find
themselves unable to answer their

critics.
Today, educators not only accept
the fraternities as an integral part of
the academic community, but freely
and frankly state that undergraduate
education is best served when it combines a balance between academic performance and social development.
Fraternities might well be on their
way out if it were not for educators
such as the present Dean of Students
at The University of Buffalo. Dean
Richard A. Siggelkow has often
reiterated that "as long as fraternities continue to develop programs
which contribute to the overall educational objective and program of the
University, they have my full support." It is hoped thatfraternities do
not lose the opportunity to prove
their worth, remembering that there
are still some educatorswho have not
lost faith in them.

JOHN Z. OKONIEWSKI, Assistant Coordinator, Student Activities

What can fraternities do to justify
this faith? First of all, instead of excuses for the weaknesses of fraternities, let them have an adequate defense! It is not true that today's
young men are too busy to be active
in fraternity life. It is not true that
college men are extensively different
from "the boys I knew when I was
in school." Nor is it true that fraternities have outlived their usefulness.

Never has it been more important
for young men to step out of college
self-assured, confident, socially adjusted and especially intellectually
alert. Fraternities can still effectively
teach durable values, based on the
ideals of theirfounders if they believe
and practice the principles of their
Constitutions. Fraternity experience
definitely contributes to a student's
poise, maturity, leadership, self-confidence, and social finesse.
A valid criticism of this social education is that it provides a veneer for
the student without any grain of
depth. It is asserted that this is an
education in the acceptable modes
and behavioral responses to our society's social demands. A socially
mature student is important, but
fraternities can do more and go
deeper. They must add depth to their
educational objectives. Again, it is
unfortunate that fraternities seem to
be more interested in the gloss they
put on the individual than in their
ability to assist the individual in his
intellectual and personal development. One way fraternities can meet
this challenge is by individualizing
the pledge program. Individualintellectual activity should be encouraged
as strongly as group activity.
Fraternities must be concerned
with the individual as a unique, striving potential asset of their organization and not as a part of their group,
who may happen "to fit in." InBulletin

dividuals must not be solely judged
by their sociability, but concern
must be given to the whole person.
By meeting this challenge of developing the individual, fraternities can
gain status, fulfill an educational
need, and still be social in nature.
To be sure, modern-day developments have forced fraternities into
necessary transitions but with the
proper guidance they may continue
to offer a major intellectual contribution in the college experience. The
tools for accomplishing these objectives are active alumni interestand
support.

The Alumni Role
A fraternity's power, prestige and
prominence can be directly attributed to alumni who actively take
part in the chapter life, attend and
participate in meetings and initiations, and serve as wise and sympathetic advisors.
Where we find active alumni supinvariably have a strong
chapter. Where alumni are concerned over financial difficulties, we
find greater solvency in its undergraduate treasury; where alumni are
concerned over scholastic deficiencies, scholarship improves; where
alumni are guiding, we have a
chapter that contributes and truly
justifies its position in the scholastic
world—Alumni support isimperative
to a chapter's successful existence.
port, we

Too often, the greatest criticism of
a fraternity chapter comes from its
alumni. Would it not be more
brotherly to lend support, interest and
active participation? Have we forgotten that fraternity is for life?
Loyalty, devotion, and service are
essential to the esprit de corps of any
fraternal organization. The ultimate
and continuing existence of each

chapter rests with its alumni mem-

bers.
We

cannot lose if we trust our
undergraduates to provide creative
leadership to the fraternity system
as long as that leadership thinks in
campus-wide terms.

I. F. C.
Finally, as the conscience of the

campus fraternity system, the Interfraternity Council, the governing
and regulatory body for all fraternities on this campus, must be constantly sensitive to the administration as well as to the needs and desires
of all the students. This is a difficult
role to play, one which changes constantly and produces manyconflicts.
But a mature and responsible I.F.C.
can learn to play this role effectively.
Fraternities must learn to be more
self-critical rather than awaiting criticism from others. Fraternities must
learn to look forward and help to
lead The University of Buffalo toward a happier, more productive,
and more meaningful campus atmosphere.

Quality
A fraternity can be no better than
the university of which it is a part. A
fraternity that turns all of its energy
toward the success of its chapter apart

from its role in the University is like
a highly sensitive introvert who
thinks only of himself. No fraternity
exists as an island apart from the
people who surround it on the
campus and other groups of people
who have a natural concern for the
chapter and for its success. If we are
going to make fraternities mean anything, quality must be our foremost
goal in scholarship and in men. Fraternities are not dying—they too are
learning—and alumni can be their
best teachers.

�Looking Back on

The term "people" might best describe
the success of the University's33rd Homecoming. Approximately 200 attended the
dedication of Sherman Hall, over 300
were present for the citation luncheon,a
record 10,500turned out at Rotary Field,
another 500 at the TUNK after the game.
250 for the Homecoming Dinner and 500
at the HomecomingDance.
Even though the Bulls suffered a 26-0
defeat at the hands of a fine BaldwinWallace football team, the 1958 Homecoming was in all other respects the most
successful in U.B.s history.
One of the most successfulsegments of
the Homecoming program was that of
honoring the 25 year football team, in
this case, the team of 1933. Eight members of that team made an appearance at
the luncheon or at the Homecoming
Dinner-Dance. Those present

receiving a pass from Allegretto.
Ken Born, who ran well in the first
half, tallied again in the third quarter,

The honors that resulted from the fine
record of this outstanding team are a
tribute to ChancellorClifford C. Furnas'
five year athletic program. The awards,
in the order they were received,are:
1. Coach of the Week—the United
Press International honored CoachDick
Offenhamer with this award after U.B.
defeatedColumbia 34-14.
2. E.C.A.C. All-East team—an honor
awarded to Willie Evans, U.B.s fleet
halfback, after he ran wild against Le-

falling on Tom McDougall's fumble in
the end zone. Gordon Bukaty also ran

for a touchdown and converted.
In the fourth period the Bulls scored
on two sensational plays. Steve Salasny
went into the air with two defenders to
snare an Allegretto pass for a score and
Jim Keats evaded several Temple tacklers in a 35 yard sideline sprint for a TD.

WAYNE STATE
Gordon Bukaty had a great day in

high.

3. The Lambert Cvp—symbol of the
best small college football team in the
East.
4. Tangerine Bowl Bid —a first for a
U.B. football team. But Buffalo, unswervingly loyal to its negro players, Willie
Evans and Mike Wilson, turned down the
invitation on a discrimination issue.
The only blemish on U.B.s 8-1 record
came at the hands of a fine BaldwinWallace team and, unfortunately, fell on
Homecoming Day. But from that game
on the Bulls rolled to five straight victories over Columbia 34-14, Temple
54-6, Wayne State 44-14, Lehigh 34-26
and Bucknell 38-0.

Following is a brief report of the last
six gameson U.B.s schedule. They had
previously defeated Harvard 6-3, Cortland 7-6 and Western Reserve 19-6.
BALDWIN-WALLACE

A Homecoming crowd of over 10,000,
the largest in U.B.s history at Rotary
Field, had little to cheer about as the
combination of Baldwin-Wallace quarterback Chuck Brady and end Bob Barrett proved too much for the Bulls.
The Yellowjackets from Berea. Ohio
handed Buffalo its only defeatof the season 26-0. In many ways this may have
been the key gameof the year. From that
week on the Bulls opened their offensive
throttle and there was no catching them.
So on to five victories in a row and national honors.
COLUMBIA

A host of sophomores and a renovated
offensewere too much for the Lions of
Columbia. The 34 points scored by Buffalo was more than the total of the four
previous games.

Bulletin

TheLambert Cup
footballsupremacy
Four sophomores scored for the Bulls.
Quarterback Gordon Bukaty ran the
option for 33 yards, halfback George
Maue plunged from 3 yards, halfback
Paul Szymendera scored from 3 and fullback Tom McDougall broke loose for 27
yards on his first carry of his collegiate
career. Ken Born, senior halfback-fullback, scored on the picture play of the
day. He took the ball from Bukaty on a
reverse and scampered 19 yards for the
TD with the entire forward wall blocking
for him. Junior Jim Allegretto quarter,
backed the club for most of the second
half.
Dick Offenhamer won the coveted
'"Coach of the Week" U.P.I, award for
the club's efforts in defeating Columbia.

TEMPLE
The Bulls moved back to Rotary Field
to crush the Owls of Temple 54-6 for
their fifth victory in six starts.
Bill Brogan, junior fullback, who had
seen limited action due to injuries, made
his reappearance well known to the U.B.
rooters. TheBulls led 14-6 at the half byvirtue of a 44 yard punt return by George
Maue and a 3 yard plungeby Ken Born.
Then midwayin the third stanzaBrogan
took a screen pass from Allegretto and
ran to the 1 yard stripe. Two plays later
he went into the end zone and then con-

Detroit as the Bulls piled up 44 points in
another great offensiveshow. The sophomore quarterback, who added poise with
each outing, scored two touchdowns and
passed for three more in the 30 minutes
of action he saw.
Two of Bukaty's scoring tosses went to
Co-Captain Nick Bottini on plays of 27
and 14 yards. Ken Born gathered a 21
yard pass heave from the Lackawanna
star. Bukaty scored on a 1 yard plunge
and went 37 yards on the option for his
other tally. Paul Szymcndera scored the
other touchdown.
This victory was the Bulls' ninth
straight on theroad.

LEHIGH
Coach Dick Offenhamer said, "This
was our finest victory of the season,"
after his Bulls had defeatedLehigh 34-26
at Bethlehem,Pa.
The U.B. stalwarts built up a 28-0 half
time lead and a 34-0 third quarter lead
beforethe Engineers began to catch fire.
Willie Evans started the touchdown
parade with a 2 yard plunge. He had run
59 yards to set up the tally. With tackle
SamSandersthrowing a key block, Willie
ran 72 yards for his second score early in
the second period. A fourth down screen
pass from Bukaty to Szymendera set up
Buffalo'sthird six-pointer scored by Ken
Born. End Nick Bottini added two more
T.D.s taking passes of 34 and 27 yards
from Bukaty.
Then Lehigh. held scoreless for 44
minutes and 45 seconds, began to roll.
The Engineers scored four quick touchdowns and had the ball with 2Yi minutes
left in the game and the score 34-26. At
that point CoachesOffenhamer and
Dunlap conferred on the sidelines and
inserted George Maue at defensivehalfback.

�Lehigh, on its first play in an attempt

"the perfect substitute" in the man Maue
was there to intercept the pass and stifle
the Lehigh threat.
Willie Evans was chosen on the E.C.
to tie

A.C. All-East team for his outstanding
contest. But Willie and
the coaches agreethat tackle SamSanders
must be given credit for big assists on
Evans' runs. Sanderstore huge holes in
the Lehigh line to spring Evans loose.

the trip to Bethlehem.

The success of this outstanding team
must naturally be measured by and
credited to the men on the playing field.
They do the work, take the knocks and
execute the plays. But the 1958 University of Buffalo Bulls will agree to a man
that the coaching they have received, the
finest in the nation, is the key to their
success.
Coach Dick Offenhamer, in receiving
the Coach of the Week Award after the
Columbia game said, "he will accept
only a small portion of the credit. It is
impossible to receive such an honorwithout a loyal, hard working squad and a
fine coaching staff."

Len Mallon, Bob Harling, Jim Walker
and Vie Dußois are coming along fast
and must be accommodated.
Walker, Parr and Ray Rosinski, who
did not play basketball last year, show
the most potential amongthe newcomers
and should be watched for their move to
a starting berth.
Kirchberger at 6-3 is the tallest man
on the squad. Massotti is 6-2, Lewis 6-1
and Domkowski 6 feet. Joe Tontillo was
last year's most reliable playmaker. The
Lafayette High School alumnus is a
clever ball handler and has a number of
good shots.
Serfustinifearsthat the big drawback
of the squad is the lack of height. Consistency on the backboards will be necessary to compensate for the team's overall
smallness.
The varsity started the season against
Cornell University and were defeated
62-52. The Bulls rebounded against Hobart with a resounding 73-53 victory over
the Statesmenon their home court, a feat
that Serfustini accomplished for the first
time since coaching Buffalo.

�There's Been
A Change Made
by
Eugene F. Heidenburg,

BA'49, EdM '51

MR. HEIDENBURG

Well—after four years the editor
finally gets a page, and then it has
to be for a farewell address.
In leaving an old job there are
always certain regrets, misgivings and,
of course, many things left undone.
My four years as editor of the"Alumni Bulletin" and as assistant director
of alumni relations have been enlightening and enriching.
I have had the fortunate opportunity to meet and speak with hundreds of alumni, faculty and friends
of the University. I have seen what
the University means to them. I have
witnessed the untiring effort and
countless hours spent in working for
the University on a volunteer basis.
I have been amazed at the enthusiasm and diligence exhibited by nonalumni civic leaders who believe this
great University to be the hope of
the Niagara Frontier.
I have worked closely with nonalumni members of the faculty of the
University and have realized their
undying devotion to their adopted
Alma Mater. I have worked with the
fine students of this University and
am thoroughly convinced that their
loyalty and enthusiasm is unsurpassed
on any campus in this nation.
Ithasbeen theaim ofthe "Alumni
Bulletin" during the past four years
to tell alumni and friends of the University just how great and alive this
institution is. We have attempted to
tell this story by informing ourreaders
of the progress being made here

—

Bulletin

physically, academically and in the
field of athletics. I am positive that
this should continue to be the role of
your magazine; to inform and thereby increase the pride you have for
the University that has affected your
lives so completely.
It was mentioned above that many
things have been left undone, and
this is true. There is no end to the
number of interesting articles available to an alumni magazine with a
university campus as the source for
material. We have not begun to tap
the resources of gifted teachers who
are willing to write or to tell the interesting facts of education that are
outwardly masked by walls of stone.
In each issue over the past four
years we have attempted to highlight
one or two divisions of the University.
We have tried to focus attention on
certain professors or their publications. But—in over twenty issues with
more than 500 total pages we have
not scratched the surface. As new
buildings are erected, new departments formed and new teachers employed, the sources of information

become endless.
I believe the future ofthe "Alumni
Bulletin" is a bright one. The goal of
theBulletin is modest compared with
other institutions of equal status. I
believe the most important advancement made in manyyears is theaddition of talent to the editorial chair.
The talent has arrived in the person
of Janice Nitsch Mogavero, BA'SB.

MRS. MOGAVERO

Jan adds not only brains but beauty

her new position as editor of the
"Alumni Bulletin" and assistant
to

director of alumni relations. While
attending the University Jan was extremely active in student affairs as
president of Cap and Gown, editorin-chiefof the "Spectrum", assistant
editor of the "Buffalonian", chairman of campus barrel and a member of the Board of Managers.
As an alumna, Mrs. Joseph Mogavero (Joe is a student at the University's Law School) has been administrative assistant to the vice chancellor of planning and development
at the University and, most recently,
has been employed as a copywriter by
the creative department of Wm. J.
Keller Printing.
So—as Ifold my editorial tent and
silently steal away (actually I retreat
only across the hall to the development office where I assume my duties
as assistant director of development
for Medical Affairs) I am confident
that I leave this publication in extremely capable hands, those of the
new editor, Jan Mogavero.

�Why Alumni Come Back
The good time had by all at this year's Homecoming explains why so many L*B grads keep coming back.
Of course, the big news was our 22-2 win over
Western Reserve. Even though Buffalo weather
was against us, some 6000 ardent fans, equipped
with rain hats, warm coats and umbrellas, enjoyed
the fine playing of the 'Bulls,* Chancellor Furnas'
warm welcome, the crowning of Linda Benson as
Homecoming Queen, the introduction offive members of the '34 Football Team, and the excellent
half-time show of the UB and Western Reserve
bands.
At the TUNK following the game 300 alumni
met and talked about the 'old days' as members of
Bisonhead and Cap and Gown servedrefreshments.
The Norton Union Open House, held at the same
time as the TUNK, was also well attended.
To top off the day theannual Dinner-Dance was
held at the Buffalo Athletic Club. Turkey was the
main attraction at the Dinner; Tommy Rizzo's
wonderful orchestra provided the music for the
Dance. There were 400 in attendance.
The committee members who deserve a lot of
credit for the success of theweekend were: Charles
D. Einach, BA'SI, general Homecoming chairman;
Alexander P. Aversano, BS(Phar)'36, arrangements
for the '34 Football Team; Bernard B. Skerker,
Law '41, Stag Sports Night chairman; Elizabeth L.
Dribben, BA'5B, Catherine Girvin, BA'57, Publicity; Mildred C. McDermott, BS(Phar)'s7, Decorations chairman; Donald A. Ross, BA'5l. DinnerDance chairman; Judy Tesmer, '61, Luncheon

chairman for students.

a great success. The friendly and
considerate hosts of this Saturday
social meeting in the Ross, California
home were Thomas Grayson, MD
'43, and Dorothy Snyder Grayson,
Edß'43.
Most of the 26 children and 30
adults had to travel40 to 70 miles to
attend the alumni reunion, but all
agreed that it was well worth the
trip. Orlo Paciulli, MD'24, and Mrs.
Pactulli travelled 60 miles and John
Barnard, BS(En)'49, and John C.
LeValley, MD'55, and their families
won the long distance awards coming from 70 miles away.
The reunion began at one o'clock
in the afternoon and shortly thereafter the swimming pool was crowded
with children and adults. An early
evening barbecue steak dinner
topped off a splendid day.
Club president, Dr. Paciulli reported that many new faces were
seen at the party and expects that
future meetings will be even more
successful.

The Voices Of Others
THE VOICES OF OTHERS is
Ruth Milander Taiwan's second
novel. Her first. Pulaski Place,was a
serio-comic tale of people in a PolishAmerican community called Milltown. It placed very high m a Harper contest. In Ihe Voices of Others
Mrs. Tabrah has clearly moved
ahead. The novel is more richly conceived. A significant theme undergkds the whole, and her command
of language and narrative techniques
have matured and taken on that sureness that is close to deftness. Her
manipulation of the short sentence is
a treat to all who may be annoyed

the learned convolutions of Cozzens.

the very end he is but a stunned fish

This is a Peyton Place type of novel,
without the rawness and violence of
that quivering expose. Love affairs of
bar, bed. and bush are frequent
enough to keep the jaded American
reader up to his customary sexual expectations. But Mrs. Tabrah pervades her story with the warmth of
human understanding, despite her
ridiculous Charlie McCoy. She is

Dr. Marvin Farber, distinguished

written a new book entided .Xaturalism and Subjectivism. The book is
published by Charles C. Thomas,
Springfield, Illinois, October 1959,

405pp., 59.50.

The following statements are a
synopsis of Dr. Farber's book as released by the publisher.
"The year 1959 is notable in the
world of philosophy as the 100th
anniversary of the birth of the naturalist John Dewey, and the subjectivist, Edmund Husserl. It will
also mark the publication date of a
distinguished work by MarvinFarber

—well known professor ofphilosophy
and author of numerous books and
articles, both here and abroad. It is
a book to interest all readers of
philosophical literature.
The central theme is the conflict
between naturalism and subjectivism,
as developed in the phenomenological movement. Combining painstaking exposition with thoroughgoing criticism, the writer discusses
the use of phenomenology as a general philosophy, as well as representative philosophies of human existence. A true appraisal of a large
section of the controversial philosophical thought of this age."

The University of Buffalo football
Bulls completed their second consecutive8-1 season Saturday, November
21,with aworkmanlike—and ofttimes
spectacular—37-12 victory over Marshall College. The Bulls' record of
16-2 over the past two years constitutes an all-time high-water football
mark.
In the Marshall game, quarterback
Gordon Bukaty fired three touchdownpasses to endBob Adams. Quarterback Joe Oliverio kicked in with
a 30-yard screen pass to halfback
Ron Clayback as the Bulls pulled out
all offensive stops. Gene Guerrie, the

12

breathtaking sophomore, set up a
fifth touchdown with two long passes
covering 86 yards to Steve Salasny.
It was U.B.'s most authoritative offensive showing of the year. Adams,
playing his final game, gained AllEast recognition with outstanding offensive and defensive performances.

The Bulls opened the season against
Temple University at Philadelphia,
September 26. U.B. struck quickly
for a first period touchdown; then
was battled to a standstill by the
determined Owls until shortly before
the end of the first half, when halfback Bill Brogan scored from eight

yards out. The Bulls went 73 yards
in eight plays for a third period touchdown. Then sophomore Gene Guerrie hit Bob Adams with a touchdown
pass in the fourth quarter to close the
U.B. scoring. Temple went 85 yards
in 16 plays for its first touchdown in
the third period. Toward the end of
the game, a poor pass from the center
in a punting situation set up the
Owls' second score. The Bulls did not
appear to extend themselves against
the undermanned Owls.

On October 3, Dick Offenhamer's
Bulls unveiled their new Wing T
offense against Cortland State. An

Alumni

�opening day crowd of 8500, in attendance at Rotary Field, watched in
admiration as the Bulls romped to a
68-2 victory over their usually very
tough opponent. U.B. scored 3 touchdowns in the first 7 minutes. It was
no contest from there on in. The 10--touchdown splurge ranked, historically speaking, among theBulls' highest scoring totals. Left halfback Willie
Evans scored twice. He was the only
one to register more than a single
touchdown as Offenhamer unveiled
a host of fleet running backs operating behind a tremendously hard
charging line.
The Bulls suffered their first and as
it was to turn out, only defeat of the
season Saturday, October 10 at Bucknell. The underdog Bisons, demonstrating a fine inside running game
and excellent passing quarterback in
Paul Terhes, enjoyed a 6-0 lead at
the half. Bucknell, scoring two more
touchdowns in the third period, another early in the fourth, held a 26-0
lead before the lethargic Bulls suddenly and explosively came alive.
Gene Guerrie fired a 50-yard touchdown pass to Ron Clayback. Two
minutes later from the Buffalo 5, he
hit Steve Salasny at midfield. Salasny
went rest of the way. With time running out, Gordon Bukaty threw a 25--yard pass to Skip Maue for the third
touchdown. However, Bucknell managed to hang on to the ball during
the remaining two minutes.
On theheels of the defeat by Bucknell, U.B. scored a 27-18 victory over
Baldwin-Wallace October 17atBerea,
Ohio. The victory, a tough one to
achieve, was double sweet. Itavenged
last year's 26-0 loss to the Yellow
Jackets. Italso took some of the sting
out of the Bucknell defeat. Gordon
Bukaty's excellent passing and quarterbacking and the crisp running of
Willie Evans were the decisive factors
against Baldwin-Wallace.
Baldwin-Wallace scored their first
T.D. on a 37-yard touchdown pass,
Chuck Brady to Bill Eyerdom. U.B.
struck back, after having previously
been denied twice deep in Baldwin-

Bulletin

Wallace territory, to score 5 seconds
before intermission. With Bukaty at
the controls, theBulls gained 73 yards
in 9 plays. Bukaty got the final 6 himself. Bill Brogan placed—kicked the
punt for 7-6 U.B. half-time lead.
U.B. scored early in the second half.
Baldwin-Wallace closed to within a
point as Goosby plunged from the 2.
However, U.B. went 69 yards in 8
plays following the kickoff to take a
21-12 lead.Baldwin-Wallace capitalized on a U.B. fumble to close within
3 points in the fourth quarter. Then
theBulls fought off a last ditch Baldwin-Wallace drive and Willie Evans
put the icing on the cake with a
startling last minute 48-yard touchdown run.
October 24marked the Bulls' 34th
Homecoming. Only the weather
which proved atrocious, dampened
the spirits of the old grads. The highlight of the Homecoming program
was the Bulls' 22-2 defeat of Western
Reserve. On a field, better suited for
ducks, the Bulls ground out the workmanlike victoryover their rivals. Halfback Bill Brogan scored all 3 U.B.

touchdowns. Willie Evans—the Bulls'
Little All America—picked up 87
yards in 14 carries. Brogan scored on
runs of 45 and 5 yards from scrimmage. He also took a 11-yard scoring
pass from the sensational sophomore
Gene Guerrie, who had engineered a
march from the U.B. 16.
Under the worst possible weather
circumstances, U.B. scored its fifth
victory in six starts, 16-7 over Youngstown University October 31. Plagued
by travel problems, arising from cancellation of a chartered flight, a hurried pre-game meal and a driving
rainstorm, the Bulls led by senior
halfback Bill Brogan and Willie Evans
and junior quarterback Gordon
Bukaty, overcamean early first period
48-yard touchdown run by Youngstown's Harold Green. Bukaty directed
the counter-attack as the Bulls went
34 yards in 8 plays for the tying
touchdown. Brogan got the score. An
80-yard 18-play advance in the second quarter closed out the scoring.

Bukaty threw 2 passes for 27 yards
during the drive. He stuck to the
ground the rest of the wayand finally,
went Evans off tackle for 3 yards and
a touchdown. The teams battled in
deep mud throughout thesecond half.
Neither got close to pay dirt.
The Bulls came back home November 7 against Rhode Island Univer-

sity. Quarterback
Gordon Bukaty put
on another brilliant performance as
he completed Bof 11 passes good for
106 yards and three touchdowns and
gained 45 yards running in 11 carries
during the 41-6 romp over the New
Englanders. Sophomore quarterback
Gene Guerrie also threw a touchdown
pass. Fullback Gene Reilly scored on
a 15-yard off tackle run and Skip
Maue on an 18-yard end run. It was
strictly no contest from the time
Bukaty threw a 10-yard scoring pass
to Evans to culminate a 78-yard 10--play drive the first time the Bulls had
the ball. U.B. scored four times in the
first half. The Rhode Island touch-

down in the second quarter constituted its only offensive threat of the
day. The U.B. defensive line was outstanding. The Bulls also had four interceptions making a total of 25 for
the season to that date.
U.B. constituted its drive Saturday, November 14 with a 19-6 victory over Gettysburg at Rotary Field.
A disappointing—and disappointed
because of the weather—crowd of
3000 watched the Bulls extend their
winning streak to 5 straight on the
wet, biting afternoon. Willie Evans
scored twice —once on 14-yard offtackle slant; the other on the end of
11 -yard pass from sophomore Gene
Guerrie. The thrill providing U.B.
halfback rolled up 114 yards in 17
carries. Sophomore Gene Reillyscored
the other touchdown on a 28-yard
run. Carley Keats caught four passes
during the afternoon, as quarterback
Gordon Bukaty and his replacement
sophomore Gene Guerrie handled the
wet ball with extreme finesse. Gettysburg put together a 66-yard offensive
drive for a last-minute touchdown
that averted the shutout.

�The first large block order for
1960 season football tickets was
received at the Athletic Ticket
Office almost before the crowd
had departed the Marshall
game. Alpha Kappa Psi Fraternity purchased 60 season
tickets, an increase of 30 over
their 1959 order.
Bernard Skerker, president of
the U.B. Sports Boosters, announced that Cy Jacobs and
Harold Johnson would cochairman the 1960 season ticket
drive. Plans will soon be formulated for a concerted season
ticket sale campaign.

"We should have an interesting
ball club," so spoke Dr. Leonard T.
Serfustini, head coach of the Univer-

sity ofBuffalo basketball Bulls at the
start of practice last October 15.
Serfustini's reluctance to predict
an artistically successful season, from
the standpoint of games won and
lost, is understandable. The good
doctor, whose U.B. teams over the
past three seasons, have won 51 while
losing but 19 games, lost heavily
through graduation last June.
No fewer than five first-line players
were awarded their sheepskins.Three
other members of last year's varsity
did not return to school even though
they have not graduated. As a consequence, Serfustini has to depend
heavily on sophomores with no previous varsity experience, plus a pair
of transfers—ineligible last year —to
fill key positions.
Cornell was thevictor in thescheduled opener December 2, (53-60) and
Boston University, reported to have
one ofthe nation's outstanding teams,
defeated U.B. (55-64) on December
12. Serfustini was naturally fearful
thathis relatively green squad would
be unable to cope with such major

Report on Cagers at Mid-Season
competition so early in the season.

On the other hand, the popular U.B.
coach who has guided three consecutive teams to NCAA College Division
Tournament berths, admits that this
year's squad has great potential. Up
to the Christmas holidays U.B.'s record was 3—3 with victories over
Oswego State (84-69), Lawrence Tech
(99-73), Brockport State (81-56) and
losses to Cornell, Boston and California Poly (59-61).
Guards Dick Schaper, Paul Mallon
and Dick Dompkowski either started
many oflast year's games or saw considerable action. They form the bulwark of experience. Sophomore David
Baldwin, a transfer from Bowling
Green, and junior Bob Myszewski,
who two years ago was a starter for
Canisius, have demonstrated great
natural ability.
Sophomores William McEvoy, Earl
Gunn, Gerry Filipski must come
through. Gunn and Filipski are the
biggest men on the squad at 6' 4".
McEvoy was the leading freshman
scorer a year ago. Other members of

last year's varsity who are battling
for positions include juniorKen Parr,
senior Denis Norton, junior Jim
Walker and junior Ray Rosinski.
Sophomores Nick Shosho and Sam
Battaglia round out a 14-man squad.
The Bull's main problem is the
same as always lack of height.
Nevertheless, Serfustini coached
teams are trade-marked by aggressiveness, fundamental excellence and
great desire to win.

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

The Bridge Between Graduate and Company
BY THOMAS F. HAENLE, JR.

OneThundred forty alumni of the University of Pittsburgh savedapproximately $35,000 in employment agency
fees by utilizing their placement service during the year
1957-8. This was a conservative estimate, based on starting salaries and usual agency expenses, calculated in a
recent survey.

The Student Personnel Services at the University of
Buffalo offers a similar service through its General Placement Office. Many positions offered by private agencies
are also on file at General Placement and can be obtained
without the considerable fee charged by commercial
agencies which exist as profit-making organizations.
The Placement Service is one important campus office
whichreaches a communication arm out to business and
industry. Its chief points of contact are the personnel
offices and the college relations offices of all types of
organizations.
Established in the first quarter of this century, university placement offices were almost without exception
designed to assist students in finding teaching positions.
There followed an evolutionfrom teacher placement to a
more inclusive service. The University of Buffalo has both
services now located in one central office.
General Placement services students from the Schools
of Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Law, Millard Filhnore College and University College (two year
program-associate degrees). General Placement assists
all students through its part-time employment functions.

Placement operates under the philosophy offaith in the
quality of the graduates and the belief that throughplacement functions which provide contacts, a graduate will
find a position in which he will be both efficient and satisfied through his own efforts. The basic theory is to help
the student help himself.
Today's graduate faces a difficult task of finding the
best possible job for himself in the complex world of
work. Media of all types constantly publicize theneed for
a college education but do not tell newly-graduated studentswhere they can best satisfy vocational desires, how
to seek out promising careers, or what they must do to
open the door to employers' offices.
These new degree holders may use many sources such
as friends, parental contacts, employment agencies, newspaper want ads, unsolicited letters and resumes, or they
may pound the pavement canvassing the business world
in search for employment.
Any or all of the above methods may be successfully
employed, but each is tiring and time consuming. Some
of these methods are very expensive, especially if travel is
involved. Time is vital to a senior who is naturally concerned with studies and part-time work.
A university placement service, aware of the many
complications of job hunting, assists students during their
last year of college by arranging campus interviews with
local, state, and national organizations.

�MOMENTS OF DECISION

New Enlarged Quarters
Recognizing the \alue of a modem, efficient operation,
the University of Buffalo recently established new placement offices at Schoellkopf Hall. The new facilities include interviewing booths, offices for group recruiting,
and a vocational library which contains career information as well as company literature describing many organizations, theirfunction in the business world and descriptions of the numerous opportunities they offer. There are
also many directories of business firms which actively
seek college graduates and information on interviewing
techniques, letter writing and resume preparation.
The new quarters offer business and industrial recruiters many advantages. The private interviewing booths
are pleasant and comfortable, an important consideration
to men w ho spend seven or eight hours meeting students.
Each interview lasts approximately 30 minutes. To assure
students and recruiters of no delay a five minute buzzer
warning is given so that an interview may be concluded
on schedule.
The recruiter also has access to personal history forms
which gi\e him a complete picture of a student's personal,
educational (including honors, activities, and academic
standing I. employment and military backgrounds.

Savings For Students
One significant aspect of placement is the saving that
results for students by contacting employers on campus
instead of visiting the employer's concern for the first
interview.
A recent Ohio State University study attempted to
compute the related costs for graduates if they did not
have the advantage of placement facilities. The actual
savings computed for graduates studied amounted to an
average of 51120.00 to 51483.00 per man. The greatest
potential savings totaled 52.110.00.
To take part in campus interviews a senior completes
his personal history form and submits his reference forms
to selected faculty members. He then interviews with
the placement director, at which time job preferences are
discussed. During this meeting the senior receives various
data on interviewing techniques, letter writing and resume
preparation, and a directory of approximately 2000 organizations seeking college graduates. The vocational
library is availablefor students who desire further information on careers and companies. Seniors are notified
about forthcoming interviews through a weekly bulletin
issued by the Placement Office.

Alumni—Sources of Employment
Alumni are important not only as seekers of employsources of employment. In addition to campus
interviewing. Placement receives job orders throughout
the year from Buffalo organizations.
Many University of Buffalo alumni hold key positions
in business and industry, and through their support, the
General Placement Office can more effectively serve not
only graduates but students seeking part-timeemployment.
A survey conducted by General Placement during the
February "59 registration obtained responses from more
than 3000 students. Approximately one-third reported
that they work part-time while attending school. They
averaged a 16 hour academic load with men working
14 hours per week for Sl7 on a job. the women 11 hours
and SI 1.50.

in financing education. By calling his university, the

ployment. Most employers are very accommodating when

scheduling interviews.

Survey of Women Graduates
"The widening of job horizons for women is one of the
most striking developments of recent years," according
to Alice K. Leopold, director of the United States
Women's Bureau. Placement is vitally interested in helping the female graduates of our University obtain suitable employment.
The office, with the assistance of Miss Jeannette
Scudder, dean of women, is presently conducting a survey involving women Arts and Sciences graduates of the
years 1957, 1958 and 1959. The study will attempt to
answer questions pertaining to opportunities available to
these graduates, methods used to find employment, their
expectations concerning careers, and their success in fulfilling these expectations.
Answers to these questionnaires will play a significant
part in determining how the University of Buffalo female
graduate utilizes her education in the employment world.

Special Programs
Placement is presently experimenting with special campus interviewing programs which benefit both students

Lifetime Service
Placement service does not terminate with graduation.
It is a lifetime service and available to all alumni.
Alumni who register are eligible for employment information. Registration consists of a personal history
form or resume, and an interview with the placement
director. Persons completing military obligations should
write the office well in advance of discharge.
Placement will send a geographically indexed directory
offirms to servicemen which will provide the opportunity
of interviewing firms either in the area where they are
stationed or on their trip home.
During his meeting with the placement director, an
alumnus is advised as to present openings in desired
fields. Thereafter job orders are phoned or mailed to
alumni.The decision to investigate is voluntary.
Placementwould suggest contact with the office before
leaving present positions if this is possible. It is much
easier to make a wise decision regarding a new position
if economic pressures do not necessitate immediate em-

and employers.
For example, in the past, Certified Public Accounting
firms scheduled interviews throughout the recruiting season of November 1 to April 30.
Those firms scheduling early met all the accounting
majors interested in public accounting; those scheduling
late met veryfew. Inaddition, accounting majors at times
were forced to accept or reject offers without full knowledge of opportunities offered by all firms.
To remedy the situation, Placement requested CPA
firms to schedule interviews during a special two-week
program in December. This gave equal opportunity to
all firms and allowed students to accept the most favorable offer.
Through its program of practical research and experimentation, the Placement Office can even more effectively help the students and alumni realize career objectives.
The University of Buffalo Placement Offices are geared
to serve the employment needs of the community, state
and nation through effective placement of students and

alumni.
Satisfying employment can enrich an individual's life.
Placement offers a centralized area for the graduate to
evaluate opportunities and organizations, and in this way
make the best possible career decision.

What Causes Congenital Defects?
by Dr. Donal Dunphy
Nearly 50,000 pregnant women will be studied in the next six years as part of a carefully planned
program to determine the causes of neurological disorders in children. The National Institute of
Neurological Diseases and Blindness, one of the Institutes of the National Institutes of Health, has
developed a multi-disciplinary approach in an attempt to ascertain thecauses and possible prevention
of this form of disability. This multi-disciplinary approach includes obstetricians, pediatricians,
nurses, psychologists, skilled interviewers, biochemists, chemists, biostatisticians, neurologists, pathologists and psychiatrists. The University of Buffalo, and the Children's Hospital, through the departments of Obstetrics and Pediatrics has received a grant of $1,480,000 to be expended over the
next ten years as a participant in this research project. Other Universities collaborating in the study
are Brown, Columbia, Harvard, Yale, New York Medical College, University of Pennsylvania,
Johns Hopkins, Medical College of Virginia, Louisiana University, University of Oregon, and University of Tennessee.
Cerebral Palsy, mental retardation and other neurological disorders may be produced in the
prenatal period, for at that time the brain is particularly sensitive to damage. The obstetrical care of
the mother and history of the child's first month will be intensively studied, along with genetics,
immunological and socio-economic factors. Following birth all these children will be followed to
their sixth year of life with specially designed studies to elicit any evidence of neurological damage
or mental retardation.
The study program commences with the mother in the early months of pregnancy. Skilled interviewers and nurses record data concerning the mother's past as well as her present health status.
Throughout the pregnancy very careful records are kept in the most minute detail concerning the
mother's health and findings of the obstetricians. During labor and delivery, again, extremely careful
and accurate records are maintained. Following the delivery of the infant specifically designedphysicalexaminations are performed and the infant iskept underthe most meticulous observations in the
nursery. Subsequently, the infant is followed at regular intervals, his general health is appraised as
well as mental health. Specially designed physical examinations are carried out which can elicit the
most minuteevidence of any neurological impairment. Although, the motivation of this study is the
detection and recognition of the neurologically or mentally handicapped child, the study will shed
a great deal of light on the process of normal growth and development, both mental and physical.
It is recognized that the vast majority of babies will be perfectly healthy, happy children without
any evidence of neurological or mental impairment. Nevertheless, it is by the careful study of the
normal process of gestation, labor and delivery that it is hoped that the knowledge gained can be
brought to bear on the problem of the abnormal and thus, help to prevent the occurrence of the
abnormal. The data collected in the participating institutions is collated by a central branch of the
National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness through their statistical offices. Information

�JOYCE COMES TO REST
IN LOCKWOOD LIBRARY
The Philip J. Wickser and Sylvia Beach Collections give the University
one of the most important James Joyce Collections in the World

The Philip J. Wickser Collection
James Joyce, a novelist and perhaps the greatest writer
of this century, died on January 13, 1941, in Zurich,
Switzerland, to which he and his family had fled from
Paris to escape the German army. Joyce's personal
possessions were entrusted to an old friend, Paul Leon.
M. Leon died in a concentration camp; Joyce's belongings were preserved. After the Liberation the collection
was rescued from a landlord anxious for back rent and
put up for exhibition and sale in 1949by the Paris bookstore, La Libraire La Hune.
The collection was seen inParis by friends of Professor
Charles D. Abbott and the collection; its appropriateness as an adjunct to the modern poetry collection was
immediately recognized. The entire collection was purchased for and givento theLibrary by Margaretta Wickser
and her family as a memorial of the life-long interest in
the arts of her husband, Philip J. Wickser, an eminent
Buffalo lawyer. Itwas first shownto thepublic inApril 1951.
In some ways the most pleasant part of the Wickser
collection is a kind of souvenir album of Joyce's life. Here
are portraits of Joyce'sfamily; photographs of Joyce, his
family and his friends in Dublin, Trieste, Paris, and
Zurich; his cane, his glasses, hisfountain pen; his identity
card, his ration card, his death certificate, a picture of
his tomb.
In 1955 Professor Thomas E. Connolly, published a
description of the second part of the Wickser collection,
the 468 books, magazines, and pamphlets whichremained
after Joyce "drastically reduced his personal library" in
the winter of 1938-39.
As evidence of what Joyce was when, in c.c. cummings'
phrase, he became his writing, the Wickser collection
contains examples of all hisworks in theirknown editions
and translations, some of them quiterare. The collection
begins with thearticle, Ibsen's New Drama, published in
The Philip J. Wickser Collection was described by Myles Statin,
assistant professor of English and assistant dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences. The article on the Sylvia Beach Collection was
written byJ. Benjamin Townsend, assistant professor ofEnglish.

April 1900,includes the fragments of Finnegans Wake as
they were published between 1924 and 1939 under the
title Work in Progress, and ends with their gathering in
final book form in 1939.
But for the scholar, the unique and unrivalled collection of manuscripts gives the Wickser collection its
authority.
The collection includes a manuscript, called Epiphanies, which illustrates one of Joyce's central aesthetic
doctrines. These notes were used as a basis for episodes
in Dubliners and in the later works; they have been edited
by Professor O. A. Silverman, and published by the
Library. The thirty-two pages of notes for the play Exiles
were published by Padraic Colum in the 1951 Viking
Press editionof the play and were calledby Joyce scholars
Magalaner and Kain "the most valuable of recent Joyce

discoveries."
The unedited and unpublished manuscripts include
twenty-two leaves of notes, written before October 1904
apparently for use in early drafts of A Portrait of the
Artist. More importantly, eleven separate manuscripts
contain drafts of seven of the episodes of Ulysses and are
invaluable to a study of thatwork. These include a complete early draft of the"Proteus" episode andtwo different
versions of the "Oxen of the Sun" episode.
There are also sixty-seven small notebooksfull of notes
for Finnegans Wake and one notebook of more than a
thousand pages containing notes for each of Joyce's
works, as well as what may be the earliest draft of the
first pages of Finnegans Wake. This large notebook is
now being edited for publication by Professor Connolly
in a labor whose complexity can only be fully appreciated
by those aware of the difficulty of the book for which the
notes are intended.
What Chancellor Capen said in 1948, that the collection, although "legally the University's property" nevertheless belongs "to the future", is still true, as the singers
of schools yet to come visit this library as they visit other
great libraries to study the monuments of the past's
magnificence here preserved.

When Chauncey B. Tinker, Yale's distinguished professor emeritus, bibliophile, and Keeper of Rare Books,
came upon a choice and costly volume that he wished to
add to that university's collection,he would—sic esl fama
—"seize" it, thrust it into the drawer of his desk, and
then take efficient steps to raise the moneyfor it. Although
this was only yesterday, it was still in an era when a few
academic institutionsin this country, supported byprincely
endowments and munificent benefactors, virtually controlled the market in rare books and manuscripts. Today
every self-respecting university that wishes to keep its
shutters up and shop doors open to vital scholarship must
continually add to its library's collections. Autres temps,
autres moeurs. With the increased competition for an
ever-decreasing commodity, the importance of individual
enterprise has multiplied. The Lockwood Memorial Library has not been sluggish in this international books
race. Under the able and tireless guidance of its director
emeritus, Professor Charles D. Abbott, and with the
liberal support of a growing number of friends and
alumni, it has been actively engaged for over twenty-five
years in building up its well-known collection of American
and English poetry, as well, of course, as its equally wellknown collection of Joyceiana.
It was in this tradition offree enterprise that two friends
of the University and Professor Oscar A. Silverman,
chairman of the Department of English, Mr. Abbott's
recently appointed successor as director of libraries, and
himself a former student of Mr. Tinker, apprised of the

10

availability in Paris of almost the last great cache of
James Joyce manuscripts and other materials in private
hands, acted promptly. Boarding a jet plane at Idlewild
in December 1958,they presented themselves in a matter
of hours at the apartment of Sylvia Beach in the rue de
l'Ode'on. Here was a post-Newtonian triumph over time
and space that would have appealed to Joyce himself,
whose introduction of psychic flux added a new dimension to the novel. Miss Beach, thefounder and owner of
the bookshop, Shakespeare and Company, thatLeft Bank
"home away from home" of countless American and
British writers, journalists, and expatriates, was the publisher in 1922 of the first edition of Joyce's Ulysses. As a
consequence of this trans-Atlantic mission, Miss Beach's
collection of Joyce manuscripts, typescripts, page proofs,
first editions,variant printings, translations, photographs,
and memorabilia has been acquired by the Lockwood
Memorial Library as the generous and anonymous gift of
Professor Silverman's traveling companions, a Buffalo
scientist and his wife.
The collection did not arrive in this country for nearly
a year after the original discussion had taken place. Miss
Beach had already consented to organize an exhibition,
"Les Annees Vingt: les Ecrivains Americains a Paris et
Leurs Amis, 1920-1930," which was given in Paris from
March 11 to April 25, 1959 under the auspices of "Le
Centre Culturel Americain" and to which she loaned
many items from her collection. Necessitating further delay
were legal details arising from such a gift and the transfer

of the collection from one country to another. Legal
counsel was furnished by Mr. Morris L. Ernst, appropriately enough, since it was he who prepared the brief
for the defense in the famous lawsuit over the American
publication of Ulysses, that culminated in the Hon. John
M. Woolsey's verdict of acquittal on December 6, 1933.
When the collection finally arrived at the University in
two large packing cases and a heavy suitcase, the by then
Pavlovian expectations of resident scholars were not
disappointed.
On exhibition through April 2nd in the Lockwood
Memorial Library is a large selection of the new materials, handsomely arranged by David L. Posner and
Anna A. Russell of the Poetry Room staff. As thevisitor
strolls from onecase to another of this exhibition, he is
repeatedly struck by the personal, intimate quality of the
collection. Itfurnishes a unique record of Joyce's association and friendship with Sylvia Beach, beginning with
their casual meeting in the summer of 1920 and continuing—if not to say, persevering—into the thirties. It is
the history of mutual dedication to a single cause, the
promotion of James Joyce, marked on both sides by
selflessness in the largest sense. When the cause had
triumphed, the partnership of author and publisher—
always a brilliant and courageous expedient—terminated
by mutual consent. Included in the collection, although
not yet arrived in Buffalo, are about 150 letters, dating
from 1922 to 1930, from Joyce to Miss Beach. Written
for the most part while he was on holiday in various

countries, they concern personal affairs: his eyes, his
works, hisfamily; some contain amusing anecdotes, puns,
and verses which he loved to share with friends; and
many relate to Finnegans Wake, the "Work in Progress"
on which he labored at the cost of his eyesight for many
years after the publication of Ulysses. In addition to the
copy of Ulysses in blue morocco, No. 2 of the deluxe
edition of 100, together with the pen with which Joyce
inscribed the volume when he presented it to his publisher on the date of publication, there are countless
other presentation volumes, many heretofore unpublished photographs, and other "souvenirs" of a collaboration at once practical and exalted. Miss Beach's latest,
but assuredly not last, service to Joyce takes the form of
innumerable notations in her neat, small hand, identifying and explaining the several thousand separate pieces
in the collection. In themselves they provide an initialand
invaluable editing.
The collection documents with photographs and memorabilia not only Joyce's association with Shakespeare
and Company but also that with numerous literati and
artists of the time. Most of these he met through Miss
Beach or her close friend and vis-a-vis, Adrienne Monnier,who presided overthe French counterpart of Shakespeare &amp; Co., "La Maison dcs Amis dcs Livres," directly
opposite in the rue de l'Ode'on. The inner circle included,
among other luminaries, Valery Larbaud, Ezra Pound,

�THE SYLVIA BEACH COLLECTION

{continued)

Hemingway, Archibald MacLeish, Eugene and Maria
Jolas, the Crosbys, Harry and Caresse, George Antheil,
and Brancusi. Frantically devoted to the person of Joyce
and from thefirst encounter convinced of his genius, they
were the charter members of "Joyce and Company," that
fraternal order which threatens to become the "Browning
Society" of the mid-century. Contributing still further to
the personal, autobiographical nature of the collection
are many photographs of Joyce and his family: his wife
Nora andtwo children, Lucia and Georgio. These, showing Joyce in the several European cities in which he lived,
supplement the formal portraits of the Joyce family and
other photographs in the Wickser collection and provide
with these earlier acquisitions materials for an exten-

sive iconography.
The emphasis upon the "intimacy" of the Sylvia Beach
collection is not intended to minimize its as yet inestimable value to scholars and critics. Outstanding are the
materials relating to the composition and publication of
Ulysses. To list some of these, one finds a plan of the
novel in Italian(probably a unique copy); numerous early
manuscript drafts of the "Cyclops," "Circe," "Penelope," and other episodes, supplementing the Library's
earlier holdings; over 1200page in typescript, with manuscript corrections and additions, of these and still other
sections of Ulysses; some 800 page proofs with profuse
marginalia in Joyce's hand and bon a tirer ("O.K. to
print") inscribed by both Joyce and Sylvia Beach; a copybook containing in Joyce's handhis chronological arrangement of Shakespeare's plays and their original productionsfor use in the "Scylla and Charybdis" episode; and a
manuscript on vellum entitled "Post Ulixem Scriptum
(Air: Molly Brannigan)," Joyce's adaptation of the famous Irish songfor Molly Bloom,which he gave to Miss
Beach after relating to her his dream about the novel's
heroine. The most diverting, if not the most valuable,
item in this group is a memorandum for a telegram in
Joyce's hand and over the name "Beach" to the Darantiere Press in Dijon, which printed Ulysses. As if Miss
Beach had not been sufficiently plagued in her efforts to
locate a printer for the work, secure the right paper and
ink—for Joyce was very particular about this—, recruit
subscribers, and meet expenses, theFrench printers were
diligently correcting in the manuscript what they took to
be Joyce's errors in spelling. Back went the firm, cautionary instructions: "Every word inquired about this
morning to be printed as shown in last 'signatures' Distortions 'trait union' etcetera done on purpose by the
author." To remind one that Joyce is above all a poet
and must be heard to be fully enjoyed, there are two
phonograph records: one of Joyce reading from the

12

"Aeolus" episode of Ulysses and another of him reading
in the brogue of an Irishwasherwoman the "Anna Livia
Plurabelle" section of the Wake. For the second reading,
C. K. Ogden, the inventor of "Basic English"—"this
strait jacket of the English language" in Miss Beach's
phrase—made photographic enlargements of the text so
that Joyce, whose sight was failing, could see the text.
If the Sylvia Beach Collection of James Joycefocuses,
as is logical, on Ulysses, which she single-handedly made
available to posterity, it is by no means limited to this
work. The contents range from the earliest and most
ephemeral pieces, the work of Joyce's "left hand,"
through Pomes Penyeach, the "baker's dozen" of lyrics
published by Miss Beach in 1927, to Finnegans Wake.
From Dublin and 1901 comes the juvenile essay, "The
Day of the Rabblement," printed in a pamphlet entitled
Two Essays, while Joyce was still a student. Among the
many limericks, occasional verses, and lampoons, often
in manuscript, is the broadside, Gasfrom a Burner, which
Joyce had printed for distribution in Dublin after the
entireedition of Dubliners had been burned at the printing
house by the order of an unknown person. Although
Joyce's talents as a poet are more apparent in his prose
writings than in his verse, this pasquil is not without its
Swiftian broadness and bite. Completing this veritable
Joyce "museum" and occupying several cases in the
present exhibition are the many translations of Joyce's
works into Swedish, German, Spanish, French, Danish,
Polish, Czech, German, Japanese, and other languages.
Only Joyce himself, who had mastered nine languages
and had supported himself and family by teaching in a
Berlitz School, could have fully enjoyed the perplexity
his own linguistic experiments must have caused his
translators.
In concluding his delightful talk on "James Joyce in
Paris" at the opening of the current exhibition, Jean
Jacques Mayoux of the University of Paris, at that time
visiting Jones Professor of French, offered what is at
once a fitting epitaph for Joyce the man and a fitting
epigraph for this monument to Joyce the genius. He
observed that, whereas Joyce's mortal remains lie buried
obscurely in Zurich, Switzerland, that part of him which
remains immortal rests, among two or three other places
in the world, here in Buffalo. As for the role of the Sylvia
Beach Collection in the University's future, it is once
again Mr. Tinker who returns with the last poised, incontrovertible word:
There are three distinguishing marks of a University:
a group of students, a corps of instructors, and a
collection of books; and of these three the most
important is the collection of books.

The Sport of Moonshooting

WHEN

MEMBERS of an organization register at
a hotel under the name, "Moonshooter," you can
imagine the awesome reaction of the hotel clerks.
Invariably someone asks, "How are things at Canaveral?"
Those who saw last year's special issue on "The College Teacher," know that "Moonshooter," has little to
do with space travel, but is an editorial staff conceived
three years ago by a group of alumni magazine editors
who felt that only through a cooperativepooling of funds
could alumni magazines realize their full potential of service to theirreaders and their institutions.
For the first two years, editors published Moonshooter
in their spare time, but the project became so successful
that last summer, the editors organized a non-profit
organization through which to carry on the Moonshooter
project. Its title: Editorial Projects for Education.

This issue of the Alumni Bulletin includes the 1960
Moonshooter supplement, "The Alumnus/A." The rest
of the Bulletin is devoted to telling the story of UB
alumni.
Truly a symbol of all UB alumni who have held their
alma mater dear to their hearts is Asa Bertram Lemon
(see cover). He has contributed his time and energy for
the past 47 years, and indeed, must have felt like he was
"shooting for the moon," back in 1926 when he was
attempting to organize the alumni office.
We're not suggesting that alumni engage in the popular
sport of moonshooting in the astronautical sense, but
we do encourage you to keep in contact with the University as it continues on its voyageto greater vistas ofknowledge. Let us hear from you soon—J. M.

�a Tribute to a great

Alumnus
"he may be a Lemon in name, but to us he's a peach,
velvet on the outside, all gold inside, solid to the core."

IhESE

ARE THE LETTERS on a clock in 213
Foster Hall.
"They don't mean anything to anyone unless they
graduated with me," reflects a twinkled-eyed man in a
stylish gray flannel suit. "My graduating class gave this
clock as a gift to the Buffalo Pharmacy College."
Not all of us were around when Asa Bertram Lemon
graduated back in 1913—but we all have known him
through the years as "Doc Lemon." His loyalty and service to his alma mater has been a guidinglight to alumni
everywhere.

Dr. Lemon is a Canadian by birth, but he has lived in
Buffalo since he was a small boy. His father was William
E. Lemon, PhG'99; his step-mother is Gretta E. Moore,
PhG'l9. "Doc" grew up in his father's drug store and
when he became of college age, tookwhat money he had
earned as a clerk in an automobile plant, and entered the
University. He graduated in 1913, and three years later,
won the degree of doctor of pharmacy from Boston
School of Pharmacy.
After a year with a pharmaceutical house, he returned
here in 1916 to become assistant in the Department of
Materia Medica. The next year he became an instructor
and in 1921 hebecame a professor. For the next seventeen
years he was secretary of the faculty—in 1936 he became
dean.
"Old guard" alumni remember the dean most for the
many alumni activities where he was always behind the
scenes. Hebecame the first alumni secretary (without pay)
in 1926 and edited the first "Alumni News" until 1929.
During these years he instigated the action for an alumni
club, and General Hayes home, on North Street was purchased. He was a member of the Athletic Council, chairman of the Student Activities Committee, secretarytreasurer, vice-president, executive committee member,
and trustee of the General Alumni Association and an
elected member of the University Council.

When Bill Cook was alumni secretary back in 1934,
"The Bee," the student newspaper, carried a story on
National Pharmacy Week. Bill wrote the following tribute
to Dr. Lemon which sums up both student and alumni
feeling about this outstanding alumnus:
"IfI may be forgiven for areverse play on words,
the university picked no lemon when it picked him.
As the toastmaster of an alumni dinner down Syracuse way once said in introducing him: 'He may be
a lemon in name, but to us he is a peach—velvet on
theoutside, all gold inside, solid to the core!'
That was when Bert Lemon was alumni secretary,
and used to sandwich in between his official and unofficial duties, frequent visits in the alumni field.
Sometimes he brought the Glee Club with him.
Sometimes it was the chancellor. But more often
he was the sole attraction, and he never failed to
have an audience, nor to hold one. Not that he was
an orator—ambassadors are seldom that. But every
listener caught something of that spirit which all his
life has kept him up to his midriff in voluntary pursuits among students and alumni."
It was this great alumni esteem that prompted the first
Samuel Paul Capen Award, theannual honor named after
the retiring chancellor for service to the University. The
award was presented to Dean Lemon at the 1lth annual
dinner of the General Alumni Board in 1950. The citation
read:
"One needs only to mention his name to bring a
flood of significant recollections to thousands of
alumni who have come to know and value his leadership in alumni and university affairs."
In his acceptance speech, Dr. Lemon observed that
"the greatest asset of a university is its alumni—and I
will continue to be loyal to The University ofBuffalo

Alumni Relations for the past
fiveyears, Theodore J. Siekmann.

STUDENT WHO attends the University does

not merely enroll in courses, —he joins a family. He
joins the University community. He becomes an
alumnus. He may be a student for four years more or
less, but he becomes an alumnusfor life!
The changing scene on the alumni front reflects the
changes in the University. As the campus has changed,
from downtown to campus, from streetcar to dormitory
and parking lots, as the numbers and courses have ex-

panded, the need for informing alumni has increased.
There is much progress for the alumnus to understand,
extending from the Medical School of 1846 to University College of 1960.
The question ofwhich came first, "The Chicken or the
Egg" certainly does not apply to a college and its alumni.
Without the college or university, there would be no
alumni. This foster mother (of us all) is still most important and our kinship should always be one ofdevotion.

It was in February of 1871 when U.B. alumni first met,
28 years after the founding of the Medical School. There
were 1000 alumni and these early pioneers of the Medical
School, four years later, incorporated on January 5,1875.
Now celebrating its 85th anniversary, theassociation has
met almost every year with a scientific program usually
the highlight of the occasion. In the oratory common in
those early days, retiring presidents gave the "Address
to the Alumni" frequently referring to Alma Mater's
foster children as, "These are my jewels". The second
toast (of fourteen) at the Charter dinner was: "To the
memory of Millard Fillmore, who for twenty-eight years
was the honored Chancellor of our University."
The professional schools of Pharmacy (1886), Law
(1887) and Dentistry (1892) followed in turn and organized associations and alumni clinical days. Dentistry
recently had its 56th annual "Clinical" meeting.
Alumni activity was centralized for the first time by
formation of the General Alumni Association in 1915.
It coordinated alumni activity. The alumni magazine, the
Alumni fund and "University Day," February 22 were
started at this time. This was approximately the time of
the beginning of theArts and Sciences College. Federation
stimulated a great deal of activity and organization of
area clubs in Elmira, Rochester, Syracuse and New York.
This surge of interest for all-university loyalty, although interrupted by World War I, no doubt, led to the
organization of "The Alumni Club" in 1921. Under the
leadership of Walter Platt Cooke, the club with 800 members purchased the beautiful estate of General Hayes on
North Street (opposite the Lenox Hotel). Although the
Club filled a long felt need, it fell victim to the "depression" and, unable to bear its financial burden, ended
existence in 1932.
The Alumni Council, which included alumni members
of the University Council, was organized in 1933. To this
group was assigned the opening and supervision of an
alumni office.
A short time later, in 1940, The General Alumni Association and The Alumni Council combined forces when
the General Alumni Board was formed with the approval
of the University Council. This board became the alluniversity representative organization whose Executive
Committee directs the all-university Alumni Association
at the present time.
Ithas been pointed out that alumni activity at Buffalo
has had a long and growing history. As we face the
changes,—we wonder what effect dormitory living(about

�the Indian trod the silent wood"

1500 students in 1960) will bring in alumni organization.
Certainly the facilities of living on campus, if available
for Alumni Weekend and Alumni College, indicates a
greater expansion of these activities in the future. As the
facilities of the Music school become incorporated into
the Alumni programs, a new and bright future can be
envisioned. When the Nuclear Research alumni convene
we can expect great things in science. As the University
Theatre becomes available, what additional programs we
can look forward to. These will be the focal points of the
continuing education to which "Alumni College" is dedicated. We can rally around the slogan—"A Great Uni-

versity Means a Great Community" as our academic development program achieves greater success.
Alumni Homecoming in the fall will grow around the
growing athletic progress and renown of the football
team. Juneweekend will aboundwith attractive programs
for class reunions.
It has been said that "The very survival of western
civilization as we know it, may depend on the strength
and quality of American higher education." The changing
alumni scene challenges the alumnus to aid in the effectiveness of public understanding, and willingness to support the University in achieving that goal.

�RURAL WESTERN Pennsylvania where I was
raised, large families were not uncommon. And having
numerouschildren was not a bad investment economically. Farmers of moderate means seldom bought annuities or old age insurance. It was assumed that strong
sons and daughters would do more and more ofthe work
as they grew up, and "pa" and "ma" had no fears about
their declining years. The kids would take care of them.
Then came the revolution! Bright lights and cash pay
attracted the young folks to the cities. "Pa" and "ma"
were left without their old age insurance except in cases
in which the dutiful children sent back a part of their

college alumni leave the college community, and space
becomes a barrier between the alma mater and the foster
children. However, even more serious is the losing of a
sense of obligation on the part of the graduates. Colleges
do not expect their graduates to hover over the campus
after commencement day, butwhether or not they support
their alma mater affects the difference between her normal
existence and "operation poor house."
Fortunately the University ofBuffalo has thousands of
alumni still living in Western New York not so distant
from thecampus that continuing interest is negatedby the
space factor. Therefore, our problem offinancial assistance by our alumni hinges on interest in theserious needs
ofthis non-tax supported institution.
We have found at the University of Buffalo that our
alumni do not mind sacrifices "for mother" if a real
necessity is proved. For example, when we launched our
current Development Campaign early in 1958 a "must
program" was outlined. As soon as money started to flow
in, buildings started to rise—a Hall of Chemistry, and a
Health Sciences Building—so that all could see that urgent
needs were being filled. Promises to donors were kept, and
the $583,878.82 which alumni contributed to the Program
for Progress in the past two years was memorialized in
"towers of learning."
The blooming of new buildings on the beautiful green
UB campus has become big news in Western New York
and has aroused justifiable pride in thehearts ofthousands
of Alumni. At the present time an Academic Development
Plan is being shaped up, stressing improvement of the
faculty situation as well as strengthening the library and
other study facilities. Every former student is aware that
a university must have buildings, teachers, and books.
The need for better pay for college professors is so well
known that it will not take much persuading to get across
the point that this need is really "a necessity."
During the first year of the Development Campaign
the pressure for helping the Loyalty Fund was lifted, but
during the year 1959 gifts were solicited and $21,244.78
flowed in. The Fund has recently been renamed General

�Alumni Loyalty Gift, and sons and daughters of U.B.
are asking their former classmates to help pay for "necessary needs." Contributions to the 1960 General Alumni
Loyalty Gift will be used to support the undergraduate
divisions which are the backbone of the University and
without which the University and its professional schools
cannot exist. The Gift has the distinct advantage ofallowing the contributor to support the project or projects of
his or her choice. The word "loyalty" takes as many
meanings as there are persons, but all add up to one
thing: a desire to help the University that helped them.
One of the finest records of alumni giving at the University hasbeen established by theMedical Fund. In fiscal
1959 the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education turned in over $108,000.
Since its inception in 1954 the Fund has collected over
$500,000—an enviable record, indeed. Through aid from
the Fund, a Biophysics Department in the School of
Medicine was established last year. In addition to this
important milestone in medical education, the Participating Fund has made possible the addition of ten new
faculty members and salary increases for another twenty
faculty members.
Possibly the Fund's most important contribution to the
School of Medicine is that it has made possible the increase from 70 to 80 new medical students each year.

The School of Medicine iraj the University in the first
decades after its establishment in 1846. Its alumni have
won professional distinction throughout the land and
have a deep sense of pride in their calling and in their
School. Their leadership has been brilliant, and it is appropriate that the doctors of medicine should be the pacesetters for annual giving.
The "Dents" have also demonstrated their "tighter
ties" to their Alma Mater and generously gave $32,000
through their Annual Participating Fund for Dental Education in 1959. Their program for the future is indeed
ambitious. It includes the strengthening of the Dental
Faculty through the addition of new full-time staff members, who in turn, will be able to provide new postgraduate as well as undergraduate courses.
Pharmacy grads are making commendable progress
on their Annual Participating Fund and contributed over
$11,200 during the past calendar year. This money is
being put to good use, primarily to strengthen the pharmacy sequence by the acquisition of "clinical instruction." High caliber practicing pharmacists come to the
School ofPharmacy on a part time basis for laboratory
instruction in the dispensing and orientation courses. This
enables the achievement of a continuing partnership between the academic program and the professional and
practical aspects ofPharmaceutical Education.
At the moment the

attorneys are organizing

their Law

Fund and a fourth professional school will benefit from
the concerted efforts of its alumni. Proceeds of the Fund
will be used in various ways to strengthen thelaw faculty,
underwrite postgraduate programs and otherwise enhance
the services of the Law School to the bar and the public.
These objectives do credit to the legal profession in
Western New York, and promise increasingly high standards of legal practice and administration of justice
throughout theregion.
It is very fortunate that the University can call on sons
and daughters of varying professional interests to support
their own. The group feeling is commendably intense, and
the tighter ties pay greater dividends. Perhaps the graduates of the professions are quicker to realize that their
degrees appreciate in value as the reputations of their
respective schools are heightened. Certainly there are
many facets to the feelings of pride and loyalty which
prompt this kind of continuing and generous giving.
From our high school days we remember the football
yell: "Two-four-six-eight, who do we appreciate? Team!
Team! Team!"
The teen-age kids appreciated most the team thatmade
touchdowns. We who labor in the fund-raising department are constantly on the spot because the results of
various campaigns are always tallied up in dollars and
cents. No fantasy can surround the results. A privately
supported University must obtain private support, or it
ceases to exist, for tuition is never enough. If alumni do
not take the leadership on the fund-raising team, there
are no touchdowns, and the yell of "appreciation" has
an empty ring.

It is basic that good varsity football teams start with
freshmen teams. We have been a little slow in realizing
that good alumni teams also start when the grads are not
grads but freshmen. That is when the collegiate learning
operation starts and loyalties take root, too.
We like to think that the intent of every student is to
he can and give all he can as far as his relationships
with his school are concerned. All of the elements of getting and giving are relative. Some derive great benefits
from their college education; others less! They may or
may not be in a position to offer munificent gifts. However, if the spirit is right, eventual success in financial
support is assured.

Thomas Jefferson, the Father of the University of
Virginia, once wrote immortal words which would make
an appropriate oath for University of Buffalo students
who are intensely sensitive in their relationship to their
educational parent: "We mutually pledge to each other
our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor!" The spirit
of the Declaration of Independence is the spirit which
will keep our University independent if enough alumni
are so imbued.

is A salute, an acknowledgment of a partnership, and a declaration ofdependence. It is directed
to you as an alumnus or alumna. As such, you are
one of the most important persons in American education
today.
You are important to American education, and to your
alma mater, for a varietyofreasons, not all ofwhich may
be instantly apparent to you.
You are important, first, because you are the principal
product ofyour alma mater—the principal claim she can
make to fame. To a degree that few suspect, it is by its
alumni that an educational institution is judged. And few
yardsticks could more accurately measure an institution's

This

true worth.
You are important to American education, further,
because of the support you give to it. Financial support
comes immediately to mind: the money that alumni are
giving to the schools, colleges, and universities they once

�selves. Unlike most other forms of human enterprise,
educational institutions are not in business for what they
themselves can get out of it. They exist so that free people,
through education, can keep civilization on the forward
move. Those who ultimately do this are their alumni.
Thus only through its alumni can a school or a college
or a university truly fulfill itself.
Chancellor Samuel B. Gould, of the University ofCalifornia, put it this way:
"The serious truth of the matter is that you are the
distilled essence of the university, for you are its product
and the basis for its reputation. If anything lasting is to
be achieved by us as a community of scholars, it must in
most instances be reflected in you. If we are to win intellectual victories or make cultural advances, it must be
through your good offices and your beliefin our mission."
The italics are ours. The mission is yours and ours

received from any other source ofgifts. Itis indispensable.
But the support you give in other forms is impressive
and indispensable, also. Alumni push and guide the legislative programs that strengthen the nation's publicly
supported educational institutions. They frequently act
as academic talent scouts for their alma maters, meeting
and talking with the college-bound high school students
in their communities. They are among the staunchest defenders of high principles in education—e.g., academic
freedom—even when such defense may not be the "popular" posture. The list is long; yet every year alumni are
finding ways to extend it.

At an alumni-alumnae meeting in Washington,

The purpose of this meeting was to introduce

were present as the club's guests.

"ALUMN USA

�Alumnus+alumnus=alumni-or does it?
Many people cling

to

popular view of you, an alumnus or alumna,
is a puzzling thing. That the view is highly illogical
seems only to add to its popularity. That its elements are highly contradictory seems to bother no one.
Here is the paradox:
Individually you, being an alumnus or alumna, are
among the most respected and sought-after of beings.
People expect ofyou (and usually get) leadership or intelligent followership. They appoint you to positions of
trust in business and government and stake the nation's
very survival on your school- and college-developed
abilities.
Ifyou enter politics, your educational pedigree is freely
discussed and frequently boasted about, even in precincts
where candidates once took pains to conceal any education beyond the sixth grade. In clubs, parent-teacher
associations, churches, labor unions, you are considered
to be the brains, the backbone, the eyes, the ears, and the
neckbone—the latter to be stuck out, for alumni are expected to be intellectually adventurous as well as to exercise other attributes.
But put you in an alumni club, or back on campus for a
reunion or homecoming, and the popular respect—yea,
awe—turns to chuckles and ho-ho-ho. The esteemed individual, when bunched with other esteemed individuals,
becomes in the popular image the subject of quips, a candidate for the funny papers. He is now imagined to be a
person whose interests stray no farther than the degree of
baldness achieved by his classmates, or the success in
marriage and child-bearing achieved by her classmates, or
therecord run up last season by thealma mater's football
or field-hockey team. He is addicted to funny hats decorated with his class numerals, she to daisy chainmaking
and to recapturing the elusive delights ofthe junior-class

Ifhe should encounter his old professor ofphysics, he is
supposedly careful to confine the conversation to reminiscences about the time Joe or Jane Wilkins, with spectacular results, tried to disprove the validity of Newton's
third law. To ask the old gentleman about the implications of the latest research concerning anti-matter would
be, it is supposed, a most serious breach of the Alumni
Reunion Code.
Such a view of organized alumni activity might be dismissed as unworthy of note, but for one disturbing fact:
among its most earnest adherents are a surprising number
ofalumni and alumnae themselves.

the odd notion that in this case
Permit us to lay the distorted image torest, with theaid
of the rites conducted by cartoonist Mark Kelley on the
following pages. To do so will not necessitate burying the
class banner or interring the reunion hat, nor is there a
need to disband the homecoming dayparade.
The simple truth is that the serious activities oforganized alumni far outweigh the frivolities—in about the
same proportion as the average citizen's, or unorganized
alumnus's, party-going activities are outweighed by his
less festive pursuits.
Look, for example, at the activities of the organized
alumni ofa large and famous state university in the Midwest. The former students of this university are often
pictured as football-mad. And there is no denying that, to
manyof them, there is no more pleasant wayof spending
an autumn Saturday than witnessing a victory by the
home team.
But by far the great bulk of alumni energy on behalf of
the old school is invested elsewhere:
► Every year the alumni association sponsors a recognition dinner to honor outstanding students—those with
a scholastic average of3.5 (B+) or better. This has proved
to be a most effective way of showing students that academic prowess is valued above all else by the institution
and its alumni.
► Every year the alumni give five "distinguished teaching awards"—grants of $1,000 each to professors selected
by their peers for outstanding performance in the classroom.

► An advisory board of alumni prominent in various
fields meets regularly to consider the problems of the
university: the quality ofthe course offerings, the caliber
of the students, and a variety of other matters. They report directly to the university president, in confidence.
Their work has been salutary. When the university's
school ofarchitecture lost its accreditation, for example,
the efforts of the alumni advisers were invaluable in getting to the root of the trouble and recommending measures by which accreditation could be regained.
► The efforts of alumni have resulted in the passage of
urgently needed, but politically endangered, appropriations by the state legislature.
► Some 3,000 ofthe university'salumni act each yearas
volunteer alumni-fund solicitors, making contacts with
30,000 of the university's former students.
Nor is this a particularly unusual list of alumni accomplishments. The work and thought expendedby thealum-

ni of hundreds of schools, colleges, and universities in
behalf of their alma maters would make a glowing record,
ifever it couldbe compiled. The alumni ofone institution
took it upon themselves to survey the federal income-tax
laws, as they affected parents' ability to finance their
children's education, and then,in a nationwide campaign,
pressed for needed reforms. In a score of cities, the
alumnae ofa women's college annually sell tens of thousands of tulip bulbs for their alma mater's benefit; in
eight years they have raised $80,000, not to mention
hundreds ofthousands oftulips. Other institutions' alumnae stage house and garden tours, organize used-book
sales, sell nocked Christmas trees, sponsor theatrical
benefits. Name a worthwhile activity and someone is
probably doing it, for faculty salaries or building funds or
student scholarships.

Without

the dollars that their

alumni contrib-

ute each year, America's privately supported

educational institutions would be in serious

difficulty today. And the same would be true of the nation's publicly supported institutions, without the support of alumni in legislatures and elections at which
appropriationsor bond issues are at stake.
For the private institutions, the financial support received from individual alumni often means the difference
between an adequate or superior faculty and one that is
underpaid and understaffed; between a thriving scholarship program and virtually none at all; between wellequipped laboratories and obsolete, crowded ones. For
tax-supportedinstitutions, which in growing numbers are
turning to their alumni for direct financial support, such
aid makes it possible to give scholarships, grant loans to
needy students, build such buildings as student unions,
and carry on research for which legislative appropriations
do not provide.
To gain an idea of the scope of the support which
alumni give—and of how much that is worthwhile in
American education depends upon it—consider this statistic, unearthed in a current survey of 1,144 schools,
junior colleges, colleges, and universities in the United
States and Canada: in just twelve months, alumni gave
their alma maters more than $199 million. They were the
largestsingle source of gifts.
Nor was this thekind ofsupport thatis given once, perhaps as theresult of a high-pressure fund drive,and never
heard of again. Alumni tend to give funds regularly. In
the past year, theycontributed $45.5 million, on an annual
gift basis, to the 1,144 institutions surveyed. To realize
that much annual income from investments in blue-chip
stocks, the institutions would haveneeded over 1.2billion
more dollars in endowment funds than they actually
possessed.
giving is not a new phenomenon on
the American educational scene (Yale alumni
■*■ ■*■ founded the first annual college fund in 1890,and
Mount Hermon was the first independent secondary
school to do so, in 1903). But not until fairly recently did
annual giving become the main element in education's
financial survival kit. The development was logical. Big
endowments had been affected by inflation. Big private
philanthropy, affected by the graduated income and in-

heritance taxes, was no longer able to do the job alone.
Yet, with the growth of science and technology and
democratic concepts of education, educational budgets
had to be increased to keep pace.
Twenty years before Yale's first alumni drive, a professor in New Haven foresaw the possibilities and looked
into the minds of alumni everywhere:
"No graduate ofthe college," he said, "has ever paid
in fullwhat it cost the college to educate him. A part of the
expense was borne by the funds given by former benefactors of the institution.
"A great many can never pay the debt. A very few can,
in their turn, become munificent benefactors. There is a
very large number, however, between these two, who can,
and would cheerfully, give according to their ability in
order that the college might hold the same relative position to future generations which it held to their own."
The first Yale alumni drive, seventy years ago, brought
in $11,015. In 1959 alone, Yale's alumni gave more than
$2 million. Not only at Yale, but at the hundreds ofother
institutions which have established annual alumni funds
in the intervening years, the feeling ofindebtedness and
the concern for future generations which the Yale professor foresaw have spurred alumni to greater and greater
efforts in this enterprise.

lar, the gifts that their employees (and sometimes their
employees' wives) give to their alma maters; alumni
giving is also a measure applied by many business men
and by philanthropic foundations in determining how
productive their organizations' gifts to an educational institution are likely to be. Thus alumni giving, as Gordon
K. Chalmers, the late president of Kenyon College, described it, is "the veryrock on which all other giving must
rest. Giftsfrom outside the family depend largely—sometimes wholly—on the degree of alumni support."
The "degree of alumni support" is gauged not by dollars alone. The percentage of alumni who are regular
givers is also a key. And here therecord is not as dazzling
as the dollar figures imply.

Why?

Perhaps because the non-participants imagine their institutions to be adequately financed.
(Virtually without exception, in both privateand
tax-supported institutions, this is—sadly—not so.) Perhaps because they believe their small gift—a dollar, or
five, or ten—will be insignificant. (Again, most emphatically, not so. Multiply the 5,223,240 alumni who gave
nothing to their alma maters last year by as little as one
dollar each, and the figure still comes to thousands of
additional scholarships for deserving students or substantial payincreases for thousands ofteachers who may,
at this moment, be debating whether they can afford to
continue teaching next year.)
By raising the percentage of participation in alumni
fund drives, alumni can materially improve their alma
maters' standing. That dramatic increases in participation
can be brought about, and quickly, is demonstrated by
the case ofWofford College, a small institution in South
Carolina. Until several years ago, Wofford received
annual gifts from only 12 per cent of its 5,750 alumni.
Then Roger Milliken, a textile manufacturer and a Wofford trustee, issued a challenge: for every percentagepoint increase over 12per cent, he'd give $1,000. After the
alumni were finished, Mr. Milliken cheerfully turned over
a check for $62,000. Wofford's alumni had raised their
participation in the annual fund to 74.4 per cent—a new
national record.
"It was a remarkable performance," observed the
American Alumni Council. "Its impact on Wofford will
be feltfor manyyears to come."
And what Wofford's alumnicould do, your institution's
alumni could probably do, too.

Husbands

► Women's colleges, as a group, have had a unique
problem in fund-raising—and they wish they knew how
to solve it.

The loyalty of their alumnae in contributing money
each year—an average of 41.2 per cent tookpart in 1959
—is nearly double the national average for all universities, colleges, junior colleges, and privately supported
secondary schools. But the size of the typical gift is often
smaller than one might expect.
Why? The alumnae say thatwhile husbands obviously
place a high value on the products of the women's colleges, many underestimate the importance of giving women's colleges the same degree ofsupport they accord their
own alma maters. This, some guess, is a holdover from
the days when higher education for women was regarded
as a luxury, while higher education for men was considered a sine qua non for business and professional careers.
As a result, again considering the average, women's
colleges must continue to cover much of their operating
expense from tuition fees. Such fees are generally higher
than those chargedby men's or coeducational institutions,
and the women's colleges are worried about the social and
intellectual implications of this fact. They have no desire
to be the province solely of children of the well-to-do;
higher education for women is no longer a luxury to be
reserved to thosewho can pay heavy fees.
Since contributions to education appear to be one area
of family budgets still controlled largely by men, the
alumnae hope that husbands will take serious note of the
women's colleges' claim to a larger share of it. They may
be starting to do so: from 1958 to 1959, the average gift
to women's colleges rose 22.4 per cent. But it still trails
the average gift to men's colleges, private universities, and
professional schools.

special kind of debt to their alumni. Many people
imagine that the public institutions have no financial worries, thanks to a steady flow of tax dollars. Yet
they actually lead a perilous fiscal existence, dependent
upon annual or biennial appropriations by legislatures.
More than once, state and municipally supported institutions would have found themselves in serious straits if
their alumni had not assumed a role of leadership.
► A state university in New England recently was put in
academic jeopardybecause the legislature defeated a bill
to provide increased salaries for faculty members. Then

Publicly

the university's "Associate Alumni" took matters into
their hands. They brought the facts of political and academic life to the attention of alumni throughout the state,
prompting them to write to their representatives in support of higher faculty pay. A compromise bill was passed,
and salary increases were granted. Alumni action thus
helped ease a crisis which threatened to do serious, perhaps irreparable, damage to the university.
► In a neighboring state, the public university receives
only 38.3 per cent of its operating budget from state and
federal appropriations. Ninety-one per cent of the university's $17 million physical plant was provided by pri-

medicine gave $226,752 for a new medical center—the
largest amount given by the alumni of any American

medical school that year.
► Several years ago the alumni of six state-supported
institutions in a midwestern state rallied support for a
$150 million bond issue for higher education, mental
health, and welfare—an issue that required an amendment to the state constitution. Of four amendments on
the ballot, it was the only one to pass.
► In another midwestern state, action by an "Alumni

publicly supported institutions, has helped produce a $13

from conducting any organized legislative activity in behalfof publicly supported education in their states.
"This is unfair," said a state-university alumni spokesman recently, "because this kind of activity is neither
shady nor unnecessary.
"But therestrictions —most of which I happen to think
are nonsense—exist, nevertheless. Even so, individual
alumni can make personal contacts with legislators in
their home towns, if not at the State Capitol. Above all,
in their contacts with fellow citizens—with people who
influence public opinion—the alumni of state institutions
must support their alma maters to an intense degree. They
must make it their business to get straight information
and spread it through their circles ofinfluence.
"Since the law forbids us to organize such support,

one college president has said, lives "in chronic

"*- tension with the society that supports it." Says
The Campusand the State, a 1959 survey of academic freedom in which that president's words appear: "New ideas
always run the risk of offending entrenched interests
within the community. If higher education is to be successfulin its creative role it must be guaranteed some protection againstreprisal. .."
The peril most frequently is budgetary: the threat of
appropriations cuts, ifthe unpopular ideas are not abandoned; the real or imagined threat of a loss of publiceven alumni—sympathy.
Probably the best protection against the danger of
reprisals against free institutions of learning is their
alumni: alumni who understand the meaning offreedom
and give their strong and informed support to matters of
educational principle. Sometimes such support is available in abundance and offered with intelligence. Sometimes—almost always because of misconception or failure
to be vigilant—it is not.
For example:
► An alumnus of one private college was a regular and
heavy donor to theannual alumni fund. He was known to
have provided handsomely for his alma mater in his will.
But when he questioned his grandson, a student at the
old school, he learned that an economics professor not
only did notcondemn, but actually discussed the necessity
for, thenational debt. Grandfather threatened towithdraw
all support unless the professor ceased uttering such
heresy or was fired. (The professor didn't and wasn't. The
college is not yet certain where it stands in the gentleman's

► When no students from a certain county managed to
meet the requirements for admission to a southwestern
university's medicalschool, the county's angry delegate to
the state legislature announced he was "out to get this
guy"—the vice president in charge of the university's

Association of University Professors to rally successfully
to the v.p.'s support.
► When the president of a publicly supported institution recently said he would have to limit the number of
students admitted to next fall's freshman class if high
academic standards were not to be compromised, some
constituent-fearing legislators were wrathful. When the
issue was explained to them, alumni backed the president's position—decisively.
► When a number of institutions (joined in December
by President Eisenhower)opposed the "disclaimer affidavit" required of studentsseeking loans under theNational
Defense Education Act, many citizens—including some
alumni—assailed them for their stand against "swearing
allegiance to the United States." The fact is, the disclaimer affidavitis not an oath of allegiance to the United
States (which theEducation Act also requires, but which
the colleges have not opposed). Fortunately, alumni who
took the trouble to find out what the affidavit really was
apparently outnumbered, by a substantial majority, those
who leaped before they looked. Coincidentally or not,
most of the institutions opposing the disclaimer affidavit
received more money from their alumni during the controversy than ever before in their history.
the future, as in the past, educational institutions
worth their salt will be in themidst of controversy.
Such is the nature of higher education: ideas are its
merchandise, and ideas new and old are frequently controversial. An educational institution, indeed, may be
doing its job badly if it is not involved in controversy, at
times. If an alumnus never finds himself in disagreement
with his alma mater, he has a right to question whether
his alma mater is intellectually awake or dozing.
To understand this is to understand the meaning of
academic freedom and vitality. And, with such an understanding, an alumnus is equipped to give his highest service to higher education; to give his support to the principles which make-higher education free and effectual.
If higher education is to prosper, it will need this kind
ofsupportfrom its alumni—tomorrow even more than in
its gloriously stormy past.

of keeping intellectuallyalive for a lifetime
will be fostered more than ever by a
growing alumni-alma mater relationship.

► If alumni wish, their intellectual voyage can be
continuedfor a lifetime.
There was a time when graduation was the end. You
got your diploma, along with the right to place certain
initials after your name; your hand was clasped for an
instant by the president; and the institution's business
was done.
If you were to keep yourself intellectually awake, the
No-Doz would have to be self-administered. If you were
to renew your acquaintance with literature or science, the
introductions would have to be self-performed.
Automotion is still the principal driving force. The
years in school and college are designed to provide the
push and then the momentum to keep you going with
yourmind. "Madam, we guarantee results," wrote a college president to an inquiring mother, "—or we return
the boy." After graduation, the guarantee is yours to
maintain, alone.
Alone, but not quite. It makes little sense, many educators say, for schools and colleges not to do whatever
they can to protect their investment in their students—
which is considerable, in terms of time, talents, and
money—and not to try to make the relationship between
alumni and their alma maters a two-way flow.
As a consequence of such thinking, and of demands
issuing from the former students themselves, alumni
meetings of all types—local clubs, campus reunions—are
taking on a new character. "There has to be a reason and
a purpose for a meeting," notes an alumna. "Groups that
meet for purely social reasons don't last long. Just because Mary went to my college doesn't mean I enjoy
being with her socially—but I might well enjoy working
with her in a serious intellectual project." Male alumni
agree; there is a limit to the congeniality that can be maintained solelyby the thin thread ofreminiscences or smalltalk.
But there is no limit, among people with whom their

�education "stuck," to the revitalizing effects of learning.
The chemistry professor who is in town for a chemists'
conference and is invited to address the local chapter of
thealumni association no longer feels he must talk about
nothing more weighty than the beauty of the campus
elms; his audience wants him to talk chemistry, and he is
delighted to oblige. The engineers who return to school
for theirannual homecoming welcome the opportunity to
bring themselves up to date on developments in and out
of their specialty. Housewives back on the campus for
reunions demand—and get—seminars and short-courses.
But the wave of interest in enriching the intellectual
content of alumni meetings may be only a beginning.
With more leisure at their command, alumni will have
the time (as they already havethe inclination) to undertake more intensive, regular educational programs.
If alumni demand them, new concepts in adult education may emerge. Urban colleges and universities may
step up their offerings of programs designed especially for
the alumni in their communities—not only their own
alumni, but those of distant institutions. Unions and
government and industry, already experimenting with
graduate-education programs for their leaders, may find
ways of giving sabbatical leaves on a widespread basis
and they mayprofit, in hard dollars-and-cents terms, from
the results of such intellectual re-charging.
Colleges and universities, already overburdened with
teaching as well as other duties, will need help if such
dreams are to come true. But help will be found if the
demand is insistent enough.

—

► Alumni partnerships with their alma mater, in
meeting ever-stiffer educational challenges, will grow
even closer than they haw been.
Boards of overseers, visiting committees, and other
partnerships between alumni and their institutions are
proving, at many schools, colleges, and universities, to be
channels through which theeducators can keep in touch
with the community at large and vice versa. Alumni trustees, elected by their fellow alumni, are found on the governing boards of more and more institutions. Alumni
"without portfolio" are seeking ways to join with their
alma maters in advancing the cause of education. The

representative of a West Coast university has noted the
trend: "In selling memberships in our alumni association, we havelearned that, while it's wise to list thebenefits ofmembership, what interests them most is how they
can be of service to the university."

► Alumni can have a decisive role in maintaining
high standards of education, even as enrollments
increase at most schools and colleges.
There is a real crisis in American education: thecrisis
ofquality. For a variety ofreasons, many institutions find
themselves unable to keep theirfaculties staffed with highcaliber men and women. Many lack the equipment
needed for study and research. Many, even in this age of
high student population, are unable to attract the quality
of student they desire. Many have been forced to dissipate
their teaching and research energies, in deference to public demand for more and more extracurricular "services."
Many, besieged by applicants for admission, have had to
yield to pressure and enroll students who are unqualified.
Each of these problems has a direct bearing upon the
quality of education in America. Each is a problem to
which alumni can constructively address themselves, individually and in organized groups.
Some can best be handled through community leadership: helping present the institutions' case to the public.
Some can be handled by direct participation in such activities as academic talent-scouting, in which many institutions, both public and private, enlist the aid of their
alumni in meeting with college-bound high school students in their cities and towns. Some can be handled by
making more money available to the institutions —for
faculty salaries, for scholarships, for buildings and equipment. Some can be handled through political action.
The needs vary widely from institution to institution—
and what may help one may actually set back another.
Because of this, it is important to maintain a close liaison
with the campus when undertaking such work. (Alumni
offices everywhere will welcome inquiries.)
When the opportunity for aid does come—as it has in
the past, and as it inevitably will in the years ahead—
alumni response will be the key to America's educational
future, and to all that depends upon it.

The University of Oklahoma

was addressing himself to the subject
of universities. "They give to the young in their impressionable years the bond of a lofty purpose shared," he
said; "of a great corporate life whose links will not be
loosed until they die."
The links that unite alumni with each other and with
their alma mater are difficult to define. But every alumnus and alumna knows they exist, as surely as do the
campus's lofty spires and the ageless dedicationofeducated men and women to the process of keeping themselves and their children intellectuallyalive.
Once one has caught the spirit of learning, of truth, of
probing into the undiscovered and unknown—the spirit
of his alma mater—one does not really lose it, for as
long as one lives. As life proceeds, the daily mechanics
ofliving—of job-holding,offamily-rearing,ofmortgagepaying, of lawn-cutting, of meal-cooking—sometimes
are tedious. But for them who haveknown the spirit of
intellectualadventureand conquest, there is the bond of
the lofty purpose shared, of the great corporate life
whose links will not be loosed until they die.
This would be the true meaning of alumni-ship, were
there such a word. It is the reasoning behind the great
service that alumni give to education. It is the reason
alma maters can call upon their alumni for responsible
support of all kinds, with confidence that the responsibility will be well met.

Alumni-that's us
by Charles Percival, BS (Bus) '47, president General Alumni Board
ARE LIFE MEMBERS of a distinguished and
rapidly developing University. In the long run,
alumni of American Universities are responsible

YOU

for what each institution becomes. They constitute the
dominant group of citizens in these Republics of letters.
As such they hold theultimate destinies of theuniversities
in their hands. The future and welfare of The University
of Buffalo, therefore, will be largely determined by what
you and thousands of other graduates thinkit should be;
in short, by your idea of a university, and by the influence
you exert in the support of that idea."
Chancellor Samuel P. Capen
June 1950 Baccalaureate Address

Who are we? We are 25,000 men and women who sometime between 1887 (our oldest living grad) and now, attended the University of Buffalo and (1) Graduated; (2)
Accumulated at least twelve semester hours, or (3) Completed five years service as members of the administration
or faculty, tally those of us who qualify in one of these
categories, and the alumni roll is complete.
Where are we? We are everywhere. Some 18,000 of us
stayed on the Niagara Frontier, 17,000 didn't make it out
of New York State, every state in the Union (all 50) has
some 4,000 of us, and 164 of us are divided among 30
foreign countries. Among us are a handful of great men,
hundreds ofoutstanding men, thousands of solid citizens,
a handful of not so solid citizens, and our occupations are
as varied as our names.

What are we? We 25,000 are banded together by the

Alumni Association of The University of Buffalo. All of
us are a part of it and the Association Structure looks
like this:
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
(19 members)
GENERAL ALUMNI BOARD

Associations refer to the various geographic areas where
alumni live in sufficient numbers to organize an association in that area. Twenty alumni from the divisions, 20
from the area clubs, 12 from the Council, and 6 appointments make up the governing General Alumni Board
which in turn elects the Executive Committee.
Everyone of us is an important member of this worldwide Alumni Association and represented by it. The coordination of all parts of the association centers in the
Alumni Office. This office is the ear, the voice, and the

�a Tradition
Generation after generation of students follow in their
Parents' footsteps by choosing the University as alma mater.
KNOWS THE University family has
traditionally included alumni, students, faculty, administration, staff and friends. Few, however,realize
we have entire families who have chosen the University
of Buffalo as their alma mater, each generation following
in the footsteps of parents.

EVERYONE

The reasons children chose this University are varied:
Some wish to join the family business or enter the same
profession. They attend here because they wish to practice
their profession in Western New York, do not wish to
leave family and friends, or for financial reasons. Others
investigate differentcolleges but decide to come here.
Whatever the reason, we are proud of our family relationship. Can yours top these!
The Barone Family boasts 17 UB graduates, among
them, three are doctors and 12 are pharmacists. They include: George C. Barone, MD'l5; Frank A. Ognibene,
MD'l4 (deceased); Marie G. Ognibene, MSS'44; Joseph
J. Marotta,PhG'2B; Anthony A.Barone, PhG'26; Charles
R. Barone, BS(Phar)'s4; Gloria Knight Laßussa, BS

PhG'24; Louis D. Copley, PhG'37; Joseph D. Rogers,
PhG'3l (deceased); Phyllis Malissa Rogers, PhG'32.
In the education field, we have graduated one of the
most distinguished families in the country—the Farbers.
Eugene M., MD'43 is chairman of the Department of
Dermatology, Stanford University Medical School; Seymour M., BS'3l, is professor of medicine and assistant
dean, the University ofCalifornia Medical School; Sidney, BS'23, is professor of pathology, the Harvard University Medical School; Marvin, SS ex '20 is chairman of
our philosophy department. His son, Lawrence A., MD
'56, presently is doing post-graduate work at the University of Minnesota in neurology and physiology. Two
brothers and a sister also attended the University; Jason
E., MD'33, Darwin, BA'46 andBrenn J. Morgan, BA'3l.

Among outstanding lawyers in Western New York are
the Harris family: Samuel J., LLB'O7, LLM'OB, was
justice of the supreme court, professor of the Law of
crimes and criminal procedure at the Law School, and
very active in alumni affairs; David F., LLB'22; Samuel
A. Goldberg, LLB'43; Chester A. Pearlman, LLB'27.
Other graduates include: Benjamin J., DDS'I4; Milton H.
Goldberg, MD'l2; Sigmund Goldberg, MD'B4 (deceased); Jeannette Jacobson Pearlman, BA'23, MA'29;
Rachael A. Zacks Gage, MSS'4B, and Arline Jacobson
Hiken, BA'32.

Another Buffalo law firm was started and has been
carried on by a family of alumni—the Lanes. They include: John F., LLB'I6 (deceased); Mary A., LLB'2O;
JohnP., LLB'S3; Robert J., BS(Bus)'ss, LLB'SB. Robert's
wife, Lori Sullivan also attended the University.
The medical school can also boast alumni families, the
largest among them being the Oberkircher's. Oscar J.,
MD'l5, who was professor of Urology at the Medical
School, has three sons, Paul E., MD'59; David J., BA'56,
MD'59 and Oscar R. a sophomore in Medical School.
And, the dental school has the Pantera family—eleven
dentists in all including: Matthew J. Sr., DDS'22; Matthew J. Jr., DDS'47; Anthony S., DDS'26; Anthony L.,
BA'53, DDS'SB; Albin M., DDS'43; Eugene A., DDS'42;

�FIRST registrar of University-EmmaretisED. nJue
"Many loved Truth, and lavished life's best oil

Amid the dust of books to find her
wrought for her
But these

THIS

"

BROKEN PASSAGE from James Russell Lowell's Commemoration Ode is a battle ode, recited
at the end of the great Civil War in honor of the
Harvard men who had died in the war. Seemingly, it has
no relation to the article which follows. For the writer,
however, its central theme—the love of truth and the
lavishing of "life's best oil" in search of knowledge—
serves as the loom across which to weave the fabric of
this story.
Originally the search for truth and the quest ofknowledge was a relatively simple process—one solitary individual, perhaps, of an inquiring mind, exploring whatever
source was at hand and stumbling upon an eternal truth.
Even the communication of truth, when it was still by
means of the spoken word, was a small group process—
the philosopher to his little band offollowers, the master
to his handful of disciples, thewise scholar to a few fresh
young lives who came to sit at his feet to learn.
As time went on theprocessbecame more complex. The
written word about known and accepted truths evolved
into the books and documents and manuscripts of the
great libraries of the world. "The log hut, with only a
simple bench, Mark Hopkins on one end and I on the
other .. ." evolved into the great classrooms and vast
school buildings of today. The simple flask of Louis
Pasteur evolved into the intricate apparatus and equipment of today's fabulous scientific laboratories.
Thus, at various points along the way, there evolved
the need for numerous other participants in this process
of learning—the diener, the librarian, the provost, the
bursar, the registrar, the chancellor, the trustee. These
others,—the administration, we call them—are thehandmaidens, so to speak, of the great educational enterprise.
They do the necessary housekeeping, they manage the
affairs outside the classroom, they keep the books and
the records, they provide the necessary physical materials,
they collect and disburse the funds, they exercise the
judgment and discretion in matters involving the whole
28

institution —they perform all the ancillary services to
leave the scholar and the student free to get on with the
essential business of teaching and learning. Their role is
not so legendary as that of the scholar. But, if they perceive their positions rightly, they must be as much concerned with the search for truth and knowledge as the
scholar. Many of them are, and with intense devotion and
loyalty, dedicate their lives to the institutions they serve.
In a very true sense, they "lavish life's best oil" to insure
that the lamps of learning are kept burning, across the
world.
So, out of man's search for truth and knowledge, has
been forged a great chain of institutions of higher learning
which girdles the earth and extends far back into the
shadows of antiquity. One link in that long chain is the
University of Buffalo. Its history, which goes back over
one hundred years, is an oft told story.
For the first seventy years of its existence it was a university in name only, a collection ofprofessional schools
with little unifying influence. Its life as a real university
began with the establishment of the College of Arts and
Sciences in 1913. In that year, to comply with requirements of the New York State Department of Education,
the Medical School authorized instruction in science and
modern languages. In keeping with the tradition of the
founders of the Medical School a small group of men,
mostly volunteers, assumed the responsibility for the
teaching of these courses, some devoting all their time to
the work, others giving part time services. In spite of
lack of endowment funds or of fixed salaries these volunteers met with success beyond their hopes. In the fall of
1915 the State Department of Education approved the
courses of study.
Then came the gift of Townsend Hall. The Women's
Educational and Industrial Union, which for thirty years
had maintained headquarters at Delaware Avenue and
Niagara Square, voted to disband and to devote its building to the University for the housing of the new department of Arts and Sciences, on condition that within a
year the University should raise $100,000 toward the
endowment of a future college. In 1916 came the University's first endowment of $250,000 and, with that gift, the
possession of Townsend Hall became secure.

IT

WAS INTO that situation inJ9l6 that there came
an earnest young woman, Emma Elizabeth Deters, to
be first registrar of the College of Arts and Sciences
and, later, first University registrar, from which position
she retires at June 30th of this-year.
Now, a registrar, according to the dictionary, is one
who registers, an official recorder, a keeper of the records
—one of those ancillary personnel who prepare and
smooth the way for the essential business of an institution
of higher learning. But Emma Deters has never been a
handmaiden, merely, in any sense of the word. The essential function of her office, the keeping of the records,
she has performed meticulously and well. But her accomplishments over a period of forty years have gone far
beyond the bounds of her position at the University of
Buffalo, indeed, have brought her to positions of high
trust and responsibility on a state and national level. The
record of her professional connections speaks for itself.

In 1929-30 she was second vice president of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions
Officers. From 1934-37 she was Treasurer of that Association; in 1951-52 she was first Vice-President and in
1952-53 she was President of the American Association
of Collegiate Registrars, one ofthe only three women who
have ever held that high post. From 1934-37 she was
associate editor and from 1942-43 she was book review
editor of "College and University" as well as a member
and chairman of many association committees. In April
of this year the Association will pay her special honor for
her outstanding work in her profession.
She has been Secretary, Vice President and President,
respectively, of the Middle States Association of Collegiate Registrars and Officers of Admissions. She has
served, as well, on numerous educational commissions
in New York State. On the 25th anniversary of her connection with the University of Buffalo, the Buffalo Junior
Chamber of Commerce named her "Niagara Frontiersman for the extraordinary interest in students and the
capacity shown over a period of twenty-five years in
various positions in the University of Buffalo."
She is a member of Pi Lambda Theta, (National Honorary Education Fraternity); Alpha Lambda Delta (Na{continued on page 28)

And he has kept his word. Since his retirement he has
returned each day, hung up his hat in 213 Foster, and
devoted his efforts to handling alumni affairs in the
Pharmacy School.
When I walked into his office theother day, he was busy
reminiscing with one ofhis classmates who had come back
to "talk to Doc Lemon." The gentleman left; and "Doc"
began to tell me of the wonderful new building that was
going to be dedicatedin the future. We talked far into the
afternoon, and as I left I glanced at the clock, andread:
"Buffalo Pharmacy College, Class of 13". You could
hear the tick-tocking, steady, untiring and dedicated to
a purpose. The class of 13 gave more than they realized
to this alma mater—they produced Doc Lemon, our
greatest asset. —J. M.

tional Honorary Freshman Women's Society); and an
honorary member of Sigma Kappa, a national social
sorority.
To her position at the University of Buffalo she has
brought a tireless industry, an unfailing readiness to
undertake any new task that might advance the welfare
of the University, and a helpfulness and generosity to any
one who might need assistance. The fact that her work
was performed quietly and without any efforton her part
to secure personal recognition makes it all the more impressive. Her instinctive love of truth and her innate
integrity have guided all her decisions, in and out ofoffice.
She is gifted with a real sense of the appropriate and
seems never to lapse from this graceful quality.
Her imagination and creativity extend beyond her job
into her private life,—into theskill ofcooking, the science
of gardening and the art of flower arranging, which are
her dearestavocations. And, in the gentle sport offishing,
she yields to no one when it comes to snaring the prize
small mouth black bass, year after year, at her summer
retreat on Unity Pond, Maine.
By the rarest of combinations, she has two other qualities which seem to transcend all these others—a sensitive
nature, quick in its insight into the feelings ofothers, and
an understanding heart, ready to reach out and dealwith
the problems of others as though they were her own.
Such a person, in thekey position ofregistrar in a large
university, cannot but leave her mark on the institution,
as well as on the lives of all those who have been so
fortunate as to have lived in her time and come within
the sphere of her guidance and friendship. The influence
of her years as registrar is hard to measure. Hundreds of
young men and women, who have sought her advice and
guidance, have had their lives quickened by the gentle
encounter with her fine, clear mind, encouraged by the
warm, human qualities of the woman who was never too
occupied to listen to their problems, and endlessly enriched by the experiences of her friendship. It is no exaggeration to say that this influence extends beyond the
bounds of the University, even of the city, well into the
reaches of the educational and professional life of the

Alumni—that's us
(continuedfrom page23)

must be the likes of us that best exemplifies the word

"Heterogeneous."
To all of us, however, there is one strong, common
denominator—Our University. The denominator is strong
as a whole; it is up to us as individuals to make it strong
unto ourselves.
Why should we be alumni in more than name only?
Why doalumni spend thousands of hours donated to the
service of their University? Chancellor Capen struck at
the core of the "why" in his 1950 Baccalaureate Address.
Certainly the charge is powerful when he tells us that
alumni of American Universities are responsible for what
each institution becomes.
Powerful it is, and it makes sense. It makes sense that
we actively put our force behind the growing impetus of
education with its increasing affect on world affairs, and
the destinies ofour children and grandchildren. Everyday
we strive for the betterment of all mankind through our
own environmental sphere by our participation in church
work, service clubs, charities, and so forth. In education
we have our sphere—the University of Buffalo. This is
our common denominator, and we can only strengthen
it by our individual, thus cumulative, participation. Add
our supporting effort to the force of the Alumni of all
Universities, and our country will be better equipped to
face the rising problems of the coming decades.
Less profound, but something we wouldn't trade is the

pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get
it. My marks and my scars I carry with me, to be a witness
for me ."

�BEAT ARMY!
Football—l96o version—will open
on September 17th at the U. S. Military Academy at West Point, N. Y.
Head Coach Dick Offenhamer, his
staff andBulls, will match stratagems
with the Cadets of Coach Dale Hall.
Announcement of the toughest
schedule ever played by UB gridders
caused a demand for season tickets
which broke all previous sales records as early as April Ist.
Alumni, students and friends have
besieged the Athletic and Alumni
Offices with requests for information
regarding tickets, reservations, and
travel arrangements. It is presently
estimated that no less than 4,000 fans
will follow the team from Western
New York via car, train, plane and
bus.
Tickets for the Army game will
arrive in Buffalo during July or
August and will be distributed with
preference given to holders of season
tickets. A second list is being kept in
the ticket office, naming those who
desire tickets as they become available. Season tickets for 5 home contests are available at $16.50or $11.50.
Whether you reside in the Buffalo
area or are an alumnus away from
home, it would be wise to write NOW
for reservations in theHudson Valley
hotels or motels. A list of suitable
hotels can be obtained by contacting
Bill Everett, in the Athletic office.

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

�The First Graduation
At the first annual commencement
of The University of Buffalo, June 16,
1847, Millard Fillmore, the Chancellor
—as he continued to be for more than
a quarter-century—delivered an address
of which the following is excerpted.

IS THE FIRST time we have ever been
called upon to witness the interesting ceremony conferring the time-honored degrees
of a collegiate course. Here for the first time
we see assembled the officers andprofessors ofa
literary institution, located in our midst, and
destined we trust to shed its literary and scientific blessings, not only upon the youth of our
own prosperous city, but upon those of the surrounding country and adjacent States. The patriot and scholar rejoice at the brilliantprospect
that opens before us.
Having no buildings, one was leased for three
years, at the corner of Washington and Seneca
streets, andfitted up at considerable expense for
the purpose, and the first annual course of lectures commenced by this distinguished body of
professors on the first Wednesday of February
last, which term is now about to close. The whole
number of students attending has been seventytwo some eighteen of whom will receive their
diplomas of Doctors of Medicine today. These
are the firstfruits of this literary and scientific
vineyard, and I trust they are only samples of a
more abundant harvest that is to be annually
gathered hereafter.
If at the commencement any doubtedthe success of this enterprise, or thought the attempt
premature, we trust that enough has now been
done to dispel every doubt, and allay everyappre-

THIS of

/tension. For never within our knowledge has
any medical college opened with so large a class
of students and closed its first year under such
flattering auspices.
Be assured, that you have established an institution eminently useful to yourselves, which
will become the pride and ornament ofour city,
andfor whichyou will receive thegrateful thanks
andfervent blessings of unborn millions.

Fred Lambrecht, the young man who
graduated in February and appeared on the
BULLETIN cover (What Will His Career
Be?), has landed a job as sales trainee for
Dunlop Tire and Rubber Co., Buffalo. He
is one of the first to become a part of this
training program. We think this is an excellent example of the kind of service the
Placement Service is giving seniors and
alumni who avail themselves of this op-

portunity.

IN

NIGERIA, deep in the jungles of the West African
Slave Coast, is a complex of seventeen villages, called
collectively, Awo Omamma. Inhabiting these settlements, and scattered through forty square miles of dense
jungle, are eighteen thousand people, a part of the five
million Ibo tribe of Eastern Nigeria.
During 1959, while on three-month vacation from
medical work in Hawaii, I was given the opportunity
through the Unitarian Service Committee, of enjoying
the hospitality of these Ibo people in Awo Omamma,
while studying their ethnology and medical problems.
The Unitarian Service Committee is a non-sectarian and
non-profit organization offering technical aid to undeveloped areas. Through its village improvement and leadership training program, primitive Awo Omamma is
destined to become a modern community with adequate
schools, improved health, modern sanitation and civic

pride.

Nigeria, like all of Africa today, is a land of surprises
and contrasts —on one hand is "bush" or jungle living,
with stoneage simplicity; on the other is the concrete and
steel boom of modern construction, the buildings exact
copies of South American architecture, forming teeming
cities as yet without much beauty or plan.
In the rainy season in Awo Omamma, families huddle
in their mud and thatch huts dying with malaria, starving
on diets practically devoid of proteins, vitamins, and
minerals. Worm infestation, inanition and malaria kill
one third of the children under 15 years of age—yet the
population in Awo remains about 500 people to the
square mile. So dense, in fact, is the rural population of
Awo Omamma, that hardly a bird or animal remains in
the jungle. All have been trapped, shot, or snared, and
eaten. Primitive agricultural methods—back breaking
toil with a short handled hoe, the need each day to headcarry all household water for 3 or 4 miles from parasite
ridden streams and ponds (this is a woman's work), the
utter lack of latrines of any sort, all this is the rural
Africa millionsknow, and Africa devoid of communications, roadways, education, medicalfacilities and, above
all, although it may seem a small thing, adequate lighting.
It has been said of Africa "where the electric light goes,
the spirits will vanish"—a fact without question, for in
the darkness of rural Africa, witchcraft still abounds,
guiding most activities of birth and death and all that
lies between. Near the end of my stay, I had the pleasure
of becoming quite friendly with an Ibo witch doctor. In
exchanging courtesies, his visit was somewhat more auspicious than mine, as he brought as gifts several pineapples, a full bunch of bananas, several live chickens, and
about two dozen eggs, all very scarce and valuable in
Awo. In return, I promised him photographs, and with
hisfriends and mine, spent an hour or so introducing him
to thewonders of a microscope.
Although thewitch doctor offers a little in the way of
psychotherapy, his medical ability, in a modern sense, is
nil.Thousands of such practitioners abound both in and
out of cities, but almost all are completely illiterate, and
have little even native training in medical arts, unlike the
Polynesian kahuna who here in Hawaii was, and still is,
a valuable therapist, to be respected and admired.

�AS THE DARKNESS of illiteracy and superstition is
as have
already reached some areas, will become available in
Awo Omamma; this hope has already started the village
leaders on a hospital building program, daring in its
scope, but already underway, for the new African will no
longer wait for progress, suffering in patience—his day
has come.
Spearheading this drive toward modern living in Awo
Omamma, is a brilliant man of 32 years, Dr. Ben Nzeribe,
a PhD. in Economics from Cornell University. Dr.
Nzeribe was reared in Awo Omamma, in utter poverty,
but against unbelievable odds, struggled through the
educational barriers of Nigeria and the outside world
finally to return to live with his villagers, in the hope of
improving their lot. Keyed to the village improvement
program of the Unitarian Service Committee, for whom
he is the African representative, Dr. Nzeribe can accomplish much; based on his record of achievement since

returning to Awo two years ago, anything seems possible.
Ben, his wife Samiri, and three children live in a mixture
of Ibo and American style, acting as advisors for every
conceivable phase of the lives and activities of their
people, offering their help at any hour of the day or night.
Long lines of people stand in the courtyard, often arriving
in the night to be on hand at sunrise, if their problem can

indeed await the dawn.
Although most Ibo men have at least three or four
wives, each living in a separate hut or part of the main
house, together with respective children, Ben, a member
of a Christian church, prefers having one wife and family,
American style. Although polygamy is the rule in much
of Africa, some popular women's movements are against
it, and with 45% of the people of Eastern Nigeria becoming Christians, polygamy may slowly wane, although in
Northern Nigeria, a Moslem stronghold, this is quite
unlikely, as a solvent Moslem may have four wives.
With Ben Nzeribe in Awo Omamma it was of course

easy to accomplish the purposes for which I was asked
to go there—needless to say, without his organizational
work, no approach whatever could make a physician
useful to his people. On my arrival in Awo Omamma a
huge gathering of women (the Awo Omamma Women's
Association) held a welcome ceremony at which the following address was read over sumptuous gifts of palm
wine, tropical fruits, chicken, eggs, beer, and Kola nuts
(at a similar men's welcome ceremony I was given a
live ram):

"Dear Dr. Tabrah, The above named union representing the 25

affiliated kindred meetings of Awo~Omamma women gather here today to welcome you to Omamma land. Welcome a thousandfold. The
deep feeling of joy and pride within us today is a very hard taskfor
human recognition and imagination. It is really a pleasure to see you
in our midst.
On behalf of Awo-Omammawomen both home and abroad we give
our hearty thanks to the agency that sent you and Dr. Nzeribe to us.
As you may have seen, very great changes have taken place in AwoOmamma over the past year or less. But apart from these improvements in number of schools, roads, water project and so on there are
other changes which the visitor cannot easily see. These are changes in
heart and mindandfeeling. Now we love one another more than ever;
litigations are becoming a thing of the past; order and peace reign
without asingle police in a village of over 18,000 people; we are working for progress and planning ways and means to make life betterfor
our children. All these and more we owe to the great noble work
started by our son, Dr. Nzeribe. Again we thank your agencyfor
making him available to us.
We all are solidly behind Dr. Nzeribe and will cooperate with him
in all the plans he has for the improvement of this village. We trust
his leadership. We pray that your agency will continue to be behind
us in our endeavours to improve ourselves.
You are no doubt aware ofour efforts to start a hospital ofour own.
It is a big task but no longer a dream. The site is now selected and
cleared and work starts in earnest this season. We are straining ourselves to do it because in the past our losses in lives ofchildren, friends
andrelatives had been great indeed. We ask you and your agency to
do all you can to help us. Let the wor(dknow we are struggling to do
this andlet those who are able and willing help us. We know American
women will like to be our friends. Tell them of these efforts and
sacrifices we are making to make our own lives better.
We again thank you immensely and present you according to our
custom with thefollowing tropical products.
We pray that God willenable you to carry out your duties here and
lead you safely back home.
We are your friends."

BESIDE ASSISTING Awo people in making their
rather ambitious plans for a hospital, my work was primarily a matter of survey, to see what problems underlie
the serious health situation there. Examination of hundreds of people from infancy to old age provided an
interesting baseline of information about diseasesin AwoOmamma. These findings, together with an ethnological
study of the area, give a clear idea of what is needed to
prevent killing sieges of malaria, worm-loaded children,
too weak to crawl, and starvation.
A daily "sick call",held often in a thatch roofed workshop, with a carpenter acting as interpreter, provided a
valuable picture of Awo's daily illnesses. Following is a
list of the probable difficulties of twenty four patients
seen in one morning: asthma, acute, man 40; arthritis,
woman 35; epidemic Pleurodynia, woman 30; malnutrition and "worms", boy lVi; corneal ulcer, woman 30;
pneumonia, man 30; malaria, febrile, woman 30; impetigo, child 1 yr.; anemia, severe, man 50; hookworm
infestation, severe, child 3!/i yr.; malaria, acute, man 30;
diarrhea, and dehydration, woman 30; malaria, acute,
boy lVi; dogbite, infected 3 mos. boy 7; sty, woman 20;
cancer of stomach, man 65; probable TB spine, boy 18;
testicular tumor, man 50; pneumonitis, woman 45; malnutrition, severe, child 3; upper respiratory infection,
man 33; perforated ear drum, man 22.
It is singularly depressing to have little to offer these
patients. With the present lack of sanitation, insect control, and dietary knowledge characteristic of the area,
even adequate medical facilities would be of little use.
Medical care is available in far away Mission or Government hospitals, but few make the trip—many AwoOmamma people have never been outside the village, so
difficult is transportation.
Plans are now in effect for helping Awo Omamma to
bring modern technology to bear on its medical and
sanitary problems. Deep wells are being dug, a hospital
has been started by the donation and clearing of land,
and most important, schooling of triballeaders in matters
of hygiene, insect control, sanitation, and nutrition has
begun. Although it may take years for these advances to
operate to the benefit of all of Awo's undeveloped people,
a spirited and determined start has been made.

�AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT in and through such
projects as the Awo-Omamma village improvement program, is of great importance to the United States and the
West. Nigeria, as many new nations do, looks to the
United States as its guide to national success, and despite
well publicized comparisons between ourselves and the
Russians, I saw in Nigeria no evidence of attraction—no
political or technical connections seem to exist. However,
the Moslem people of Northern Nigeria have an understandable and ethnic tie with Egypt and the United Arab
Republic, which of course is not unfriendly to Russian
interests.
(Parenthetically, during a short trip into Egypt, I was
accorded the utmost courtesy as an American traveler,
and nowhere have I found it easier or more pleasant to
visit and photograph a country and its people.)
Before World War II it was customary for the African
seeking University education to attend Continental and
British schools—they were thought to be superior to
those of the United States, both academically and socially.
However, a change of heart in Nigeria, probably as a
part of the Nationality movement bringing Independence
from Britain in October 1960, has created stronger bonds
with American Universities which now attract many
African students, despite the racial difficulties the African
student finds in America.
As the only Caucasion among thousands of Africans,
I was at times questioned closely by teachers, students,
and community leaders about the true picture of what an
African faces in the United States, as a student. Based on
what is publicized of our racial problems (with even
friendly Nigerian press coverage) the African cannot help
but wonder how he may fare in this country, when here
for education, as a delegate, or perhaps as a distinguished
visitor. On several occasions I heard the touching view
voiced that as guests in our great land, it was not possible
that any unpleasant incidentcould occur. It is an interesting and curious paradox and a tribute to the British that
after decades of colonial British rule, Nigeria is today
practically devoid ofracial tension.
Although questions of the American Negro's place in
our society were often raised by educated Nigerians, it
was of some interest to me to find that the well-known
interracial cooperation and amity of Hawaii was known
to at least one far away African who sagely observed that
in that respect, Hawaii must really not be a part of the
United States.
AS THE NEW NATIONS of the African continent
and theworld emerge, their fusion into larger federations
will carry tremendous power. It isvital that as Americans
we set an example of living as the cosmopolitan citizens
of the world we like to think ourselves.
8

By our example, African and otherworld leaders may
seek to mold their governments by bids for processes of
freedom instead of plans for collective oppression—that
is ifthey are not treated to the spectacle of our democratic
culture failing in its basic premise of upholding the
significance of the individual of any race.
In the social development of the World community to
which we must look for actual survival, older cultures
and experienced governments have, whether they want
them or not, crucial responsibilities in the development
of new societies. Field operations such as technical aid,
financial pump-priming, and political machinations are
among the more effective and prompt tools for breathing
life into new governments and economies, but underlying
all these is the basic need for education. Nothing can be
done without know-how, from the bottom up—elementary schooling of rural people in undeveloped countries
is important—the secondary schooling of some of them
is too—but most significant is the proper training and
exposure of leaders of the future to the best traditions
and competent learning of our best thinkers. This, of
course suggests a university relationship—and is the hope
of hundreds of students from all the countries of the
world who come to our shores. Do we make easily available to them the best we have to offer, under conditions
of living and security that can best exemplify our concern
for the successful emergence of the underprivileged? Unfortunately not. Financial matters, housing problems,
language difficulties, and lack of understanding of the
exotic student's role in his own society often contribute
to making his stay of less value to his development than
he or we should wish it.
Efforts to solve some of these difficulties have been
made by development of American university facilities
abroad, such as the American University at Bierut, and
the recently proposed creation of a center at the University of Hawaii for students of the Pacific and the
Orient.
The effectiveness of an American, continental University, or two or three, perhaps, with similaraims, directing facilities toward the more effective housing, schooling, and conditioning of foreign students, with consideration of their special problems, would be a valuable step
in enhancing our effectiveness in education of the future
leaders of new societies. Too often, African and Asian
students leave our shores wondering just what democracy
means—and whether it really offers freedom to every
citizen. Universities should be in a position to demonstrate this basic hope of our society, and particularly
those whose students includeforeign aspirants to learning.

THE

UNIVERSITY'S Department of Psychology recently became interested in the whereabouts of its
majors, knowing full well that the majority do not go
on for graduate training in psychology. We also wanted
to know how these ex-students viewed their under-

graduate program of studies, what changes they would
now recommend, how they now valued the more theoretical courses they were required to take. In brief, we
wanted to know where they now are, what they thought
of us and would they do it again. Many of you Bulletin
readers helped us in this study; also a good many specifically requested that they be sent a copy of the completed
study. For this reason we are taking this opportunity,
through the pages of the Alumni Bulletin, to inform you
of the results.
We chose a ten-year period, 1948-1958, in order not to
deal with mostly "new" people. For this period we found
a total of 563 psychology majors to which a questionnaire, together with a covering letter from Dr. Lester,
Chairman of the Department, was mailed. We kept plugging with postcard reminders and second mailings of
questionnaires (some of you may have felt rather put
upon), even telephone calls, in order to maximize the
*Former Professor Edward S. Jones helpfully collaborated on the
questionnaire employed here. Thanks are also given to Mr. Charles
Grantfor his careful work in coding of all replies and to Mr.Kenneth Robinson of the UB Data Processing Centerfor cooperation

breakdowns.

returns. In the end, after eliminating duds returned by
the postoffice and hard-core non-respondents, we received

375 questionnaires (or 73% of the sample). We also
asked respondents to be frank; we invited unsolicited
comments and here we got reams of material. It was
nothing for busy MDs (and the like) to write us threepage, tightlypacked lettersfull of reminiscences and comments. We were frankly pleased and we made a content
analysis of these comments. We were also pleased that
we received some negative evaluations which meant, if
nothing else, that our returns were not just a "whitewash."
This is a surprisingly heterogeneous group. The 375
respondents contain 87 females and 288 maleswhose age
at receipt of the BA degree runs all the way from 19 to
46 (remember the veteran bulge). Modal age at receipt of
the BA is 25% years. These ex-students are to be found,
occupationally, all the way from high status academic and
industrial positions down to clerical jobs. By no means
have all of them continued with advanced academic
degrees but there is still to be seen a good deal of "upward
striving" as indicated by the rather large numbers of
people who state they are continuing with some advanced
degree program. Not only are there PhD psychologists,
but also chiropodists, pharmacists, assistant deans of
education, engineers, nurses, paymasters, foremen, TV
script editors, salesmen—just about the gamut of the
occupational hierarchy if we limit ourselves to the upper half.

Where Are They Now?
Table I presents the occupational breakdown indicating career status as of early 1959. The data are divided
into an early (BA degrees between 1948 and 1952) and
late (1953-58) period, the former representing the more
stable group occupationally.
This early group contains few graduate students or
military trainees. It is presumed that most of these people
are in the occupational niche where they will likely
remain. Here we see that 13% of these are psychologists
and thatanother 9% have gone into education, mostly as
elementary or secondary school teachers (but about onethirdof this groupare found in colleges, asfaculty in schools
of education). Another 9% have entered socialwork; 8%
have obtained their MD or DDS degrees and are currently practising as such. Here doctors far outweigh dentists and it is clearly apparent that medical school, as
against dental school, is the preferred route for this group
of graduates. Less than 1 % have gone into specialties as
osteopathy or chiropody. Looking at the entire early
group, close to 50% are clearly in the professional strata
and most of these are in "service" areas, scientific or
otherwise, involving fairly close interpersonal relations—
areas where it is traditionally thought psychological training clearly contributes.
Another large segment of this early group (about 30%)
is found in business and industry. Concerning industrial
slots, a wide variety of job titles is found here. As one
would expect, psychology graduates turn up in personnel,
industrial relations and various supervisory roles where
psychological training would be expected to make a contribution. More surprisingly, however, are the graduates
now found as credit manager, wholesaler, paymaster,
traffic coordinator, claim adjuster. It is also this industrial group (as against sales-advertising) who infrequently
say they would do it again (i.e., be a psychology major)—
a mere

38%.

Turning attention to the lates in Table I, many of these
people are too recently "out" to form a definitive picture:
22% are now in some graduate program and another 9%
are in the military. Psychology, education, social work,
medicine account for the largest professional categories
here; the percentage in "paramedical" slots here jumps to
three; sales-advertising continues to be a large group.
Dental, legal, theological schools continue to attract very
few graduates.

Would They Do It Again?
One item on our questionnaire tried to get at an oblique
measure of satisfaction by asking respondents the hypothetical question if they were now advising a young person, or had it to do over again themselves, would they
recommend psychology as an undergraduate major. Here
they were given three alternatives to check: Yes, as a
major; No, only as a minor; No, only a couple of courses.
Table I presents these data broken down into a Yes-No

dichotomy.
The overall endorsement for Yes (as a major) is 62%.
If one looks only at respondents clearly in professional
categories, there is a 65% endorsement. Housewives and
mothers are slightly more enthusiastic; MDs are generally
approving and would "do it again" but our small group
of dentists and "paramedicals" are anything but laudatory. The business folk, especially those in industrial
slots, are very lukewarm (only 38% Yes) whereas the
sales-advertising cluster gives a more approving endorsement

(57%).

Looking at these data from the early-late categories,
our older and more settled respondents are not so sure.

Slightly more than half of the early group would do a
repeat. In brief, there is some real disenchantment with
the early BA degree people. This early group feels that
more emphasis should have been given to both the applied
and social psychology areas in their undergraduate training. It is as ifthese people, being longer out in the community, now see problems concerned with group dynamics, mass media of communication, conformity as the
relevant issues and they feel their undergraduate training
couldhave been better on this score. Social psychology is
now an integral feature of the undergraduate sequence; it
looks as if we ought to give more attention to the applied
area, however.
Setting aside this early-late distinction, it should be
remarked that there are some rather "rare birds": architect, pharmacist, data processing man, chemist, engineer,
clerk, play reader for a theatrical agency, a housewife
who describes herself as a "frustrated psychologist" and
a supervisor of raw materials for a steel plant (who
started out as a crane operator). Whether we like it or
not, undergraduate psychology training at UB is servicing a wide occupational range.

Important Aspects of the Curriculum
The basic fundamentals of the curriculum were thoroughly endorsed. The ones we inquired about, specifically, were: tutorial work (independent study), final comprehensive exams, required statistics, required experimental psychology, required Senior Seminar. We asked
respondents both to check which of these features they now
regarded as important and also to comment more fully.
There is overwhelming endorsement for the tutorial
plan, 72% of all respondents indicating this. No other
entry on our check list received such approbation. Quotations from spontaneous comments will give the flavor:
(froma housewife) This is apart ofthe UBprogram I hope will always
be continued. The opportunity to read more extensively in areas of
special interest and the close association of professor andstudent give
depth and, often, the first real impetus to a scholarly approach.
(Crad student, psychology PhD candidate) The tutorial system is a
feather in the department's cap and should definitelybe continued.

Statistics: Few respondents felt negatively about this
requirement and most did not specifically comment.
Forty percent, however, came out strongly for its reten-

tion. What is surprising here is that this Yes vote did not
come solely from the graduate degree people; it was,
rather, the people in sales and advertising, and also the
mothers, who reported their present appreciation, if belated, of this departmentalrequirement. We do, however,
have some malcontents.
(Truck salesman, formerly a District Manager) Cannot emphasize too
highly the value of statistics. Gives anyone the ability to interpret
data, judge value of "surveys", etc. All reading material reporting
statistical data is useless unless a basic understanding of statistical
terms and language is present. Excellent background in anyfield.
(Sales Manager) If thought is being given to elimination of Statistics
as arequired subject, this would be a shame! Granted, it is a dry and
sometimes unpleasant course but it is the basis for so much—i.e.,
testing, numerical distributions, etc. which is contained in textbooks
of all psych courses that it is manditory (sic).
(State Parole Officer) The only thing I remember about statistics is
that Harry Truman's election in 1948 was a surprise to no one except
Dr. Gallup and (name of instructor) and they both had a rough time
explaining that!
It was all very wonderful and thanks for the
opportunity of saying so.

..

Experimental psychology: Seventy respondents specifically referred to this course: 63 positive and 7 negative. Of thewide variety of courses to which students had
been exposed, this particular course provoked the most
outspoken praise and, in some cases, blame.

11

�(from a civil engineer) Experimental psych gave me my first and best
taste ofreal scientific method. 1 think this course should be required

for all students who intend

that had agreat deal of meaning to me.

Miscellaneous Comments
It is impossible in a short article of this type to give the
flavor, letalone the intensity, of all of the comments and
attitudes fed back to us. One or two additional items
stand out from this large collection. One of these is the
stated disenchantment with the BA degree in psychology,
by which is meant that such a person cannot work professionally in the area and that majoring students require
(and would be most grateful) for better advice in this
regard. A total of 45 respondents (one of our largest
groups) specifically made this point. One comment:

faculty personalities by name, frequently in connection
with a specific course, and with evident pleasure. Many
of these graduates had been out as long as ten years but
this did not dim some of these vivid recollections. (We
also received some frankly negative comments about personalities but these are clearly in the minority.) Practically every staff member that has ever been associated
with the department received a mention. When the tabulations were made, 35 different staff people were singled
out (at least once) for personal mention and some of these
names go back many years (examples: Dr. Thomas Kennelly, Dr. Mazie Wagner, Dr. Earl McGrath).

(housewife who describes herselfas "afrustrated psychologist") I wish
tho that I'd had closer guidance to have kept me on the right track
Psych as a major with no intention to accomplish graduate work has
left me unfitfor any good job too much the intellectual snob for
"just a job" and untrained elsewhere .. (But) my 4 years in the
department were wonderful they stand out clearly and dearly in my
memories. Ifeel wonderful pride in the University's growth altho
wonder how the old prof-student rapport can possibly be maintained.

Of the present staff it is, naturally, the more senior
members of the department that are singled out most
frequently. Dr. Bugelski heads the list with 112 specific
and laudatory mentions and with four negative votes.
Dr. Lester is second with 66 congratulatory comments
and one negative. Most alumni who had any contact with
psychology will clearly recall both of these individuals
and can now "test" their own reactions against our
returns. There were other individuals, now no longer
members of the department, who were also very stimulating people: Dr. Donald Bullock (31 positive mentions)
and Dr. Carleton Scofield (14 positives).

Here, apparently, it behooves the staff and the advisory
folk in the University College to go out of their way to
make clear that the selection of an undergraduate psychology major is no open door. Here we have possibly
been remiss.

To read the spontaneous comments on this score is an
illuminating experience which clearly indicates that former
students remember staff, not only with fondness, but also
for the attitudes and values these people inculcated quite
aside from the content of their teaching.

We also scanned written remarks for negative items,
such as complaints about tough grading, partisan instructors, too many required courses. For all of these we
ceived a very small number of replies. But at least such
comments showed us we were not merely getting compliments. For example, 16 respondents specifically complained about biased or partisan instructors who, they
felt, rode a pet theory to the neglect of other content.
Only 9 respondents felt there were too many required
courses in the program; another 7 respondents had negative feelings about how grades were handed out. Most
new course suggestions are now an integral part of the

These comments clearly suggest that students respond
to many features of the campus scene and that, possibly
as most enduring, are the attitudes and points of view
acquired at UB as a result of contact with an interested
and able staff.
Dr. Barnette graduated from the University in 1932; in 1936 he received his MA. As an instructor in psychology he spent three years at
New York University and in 1949 earned his PhD. Thenext year he
returned here andbecame chief vocational counselor. Veterans Administration Testing and Guidance. In 1951he became the director of the

�African Interlude

Letters to the EDITOR

{Continuedfrom page 6)

IN ADDITION TO provision of
education better geared to the needs
of those from undeveloped races and
countries, another service of the
greatest importance to emerging nations is the extension, whenever possible, of our training facilities, technical knowledge, and personnel for
on the spot demonstration and education in the countries desiring such
service. Israel is at present assisting
Nigeria materially in this way—as it
has effectively assisted Ghana. Nigeria has already made arrangements
to draw upon Israeli technical resources after independence 1 Oct. 60.
What a wealth of ideological and
political learning can accompany the
technical aid that in fact is the basis
of this sort of relationship! And it
would seem to be a valuable way for
us to give the best of our system to
these new economies. Fortunately, it
may be said Israel is doing this for
us; having had her start with American encouragement, she is now extending the results of our aid to her,
to others.
It is thousands of miles from America to the soft jungle breezes, the talking drums, and the myriads of hopeful people in the little Nigerian village
of Awo Omamma. Yet uppermost in
the minds of these people each day is
the dream of help and hope America
offers. The Unitarian Service Committee, sponsoring Awo's village improvement program;— Ben Nzeribe,
who in Awo Omamma knows and
lives the magic of America;—the
technical persons who like myself
have been fortunate in having some
learning useful to the villagers;—and
all the others who have and will have
a part in the planning of Awo's future
—all these hope to see a new and successful African society, relatively free
of disease, want, and tyranny—in
which individuals have significance
and a measure of peace.

Lemon graduated in 1919. Myfather
graduated in 1896. One of my sons
earned more than 13 credits at U.B.
and may be considered an alumnus
even tho he finished his college work
at U. of Oregon. So we should have
5 Lemons on the alumni list.

Ed—You're so right "Doc" as usual.
We apologizefor the error.
It is indeed a pleasure to be able to
compliment you as a new editor on
thefine "moonshooter" editionof the
ALUMNI BULLETIN. Because it
penetrates in depth the changing
alumni scene (as well as in giving
some insights into the needs and responsibilities of thealumnus himself)
and the endless problem of financing
higher education I believe it would be
a worthwhile effort to send copies to
the members of the class of 1960 who
hopefully—even prayerfully—are
now on the threshold of becoming
alumni themselves.

Ed— We hope that each new alumnus!a
of the Class of 1960 has enjoyed the
copy of the April B ULLETIN.
When I received the latest edition
of the ALUMNI BULLETIN, for
once I was compelled to read it from

While the Bulletin has shown a

steady improvement since the small
4-pagers Iworked on manyyears ago,
this edition was by far the best I have
ever seen.

Ed—"Eddie'" edited the BULLETIN

from October '50 to February '53. It
was during his editorship that the 4-

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

NEW HEALTH Sciences Building, bringing together the Department of Biology and the schools of
Pharmacy and Nursing, was dedicated at 11:15 a.m.
on Saturday, September 10.
Highlighting the program bringing the $2,500,000 structure into the University's life sciences services was the
dedicatory address by Dr. Marion B. Folsom, former
Secretary of the Department of Health, Education and
Welfare and now Director of the Eastman Kodak Co.
Dr. Folsom spoke following opening remarks by Chancellor Furnas. Lewis G. Harriman, vice chairman of The
Council of the University, presided at the dedication.
Dr. Furnas pointed out that along with bringing the
departments of biology, pharmacy and nursing together,
the new structure will allow a unified grouping with medicine, dentistry and medical research.

THE

�AGIANT STEP FORWARD

"With thelocation of the new Health Sciences building
adjacent to Capen Hall and Sherman Hall, it is now possible for the University to enjoy coordination in teaching
and research among the inter-related disciplines of medicine, dentistry, biology, pharmacy and nursing," the
Chancellor said.
Capen Hall, erected in 1953, houses the Schools of
Medicine and Dentistry. The center for Medical Research
is located in Sherman Hall.
The Chancellor said that the new building "marks another step in the establishment of a complete Health
Sciences Center at the University." The present units of
the Center represent an investment of over $8,500,000,
he said, "but there is no yardstick to determine what this
investment has provided for the people of Western New
York."

In its present form, theHealth Sciences Center takes a
big step forward toward providing better health for the
people of the Niagara Frontier. And the new Health
Sciences building will have a direct relation to the contributions from the departments of biology, pharmacy
and nursing.
Dr. Clinton M. Osborn, chairman of the biology department, said that the new modern facilities in thebuilding will make possible "A broadened teaching program
and the accommodation of a significant increase in students on all levels, particularly for those working toward
advanced degrees."
In addition, he said, "the department will now be able
to participate in more extensivecollaboration with neighlems in biological sciences."

�THE

UNIVERSITY of Buffalo began to speak with
a new voice on January 6, 1959. The Chancellor was
heard throughout the city announcing the birth of

WBFO, the University radio station, and for the past year
and a half the community has enjoyed truly different
radio programming.
The station is operated by students working together
under the banner of The Student Broadcasting Association
Of The University OfBuffalo and by the guiding hands of
some interested faculty. No praise could possibly approach the acknowledgment the dedicatedradio staff deserve. For the past eighteen months they havemaintained
programming under conditions that would have demolished a commercial radio station.
During the first six months of operation, the staff programmed with one turntable and one tape recorder in
comparison with other local stations using four to eight
turntables and tape recorders. Our personnel playing recorded music had to learn to ad lib the precious seconds
required by the engineer to place and cue a new record
on the turntable. Such practices as this must be excellent
experiencefor the staffbecause nine of our former student
executives are now employed in commercial radio and
television.
WBFO started as an FM station with the limited audience all FM stations catered to at that time. The past
year, however, FM has grown in popularity. Now FM
radios are selling on a par with standard AM sets and
are even being installed in automobiles. This means that
WBFO has been catapulted into pseudo-competition with
everyother local station plus a college station at Canisius
College due to start programming with first class equipment within the next year.
Considering the competition, the list of achievements
and firstsfor WBFO should make our alumni and administration beam with pride. A partial list includes:
WBFO was the first local station to broadcast live
" opera
originating in Buffalo
WBFO broadcast live music, including the Buda" pest
String Quartet, from Baird Hall
WBFO was the only radio station to cover civic
" elections from the headquarters ofboth political
parties thus permitting interviews of both winning
and losing candidates before other stations
WBFO had mobile-remote coverage of the Mov" ing-Up
Day Parade
WBFO presented tapes sent by Radio Moscow
" (in English)
was the only station to completely cover
" WBFO
the Civil Rights Conference, chairmannedby Senator Jacob Javits, on campus
WBFO presented liveinterviews with government
" officials
such as Sheriff Tutuska andPolice Commissioner Felicetta
presentedlive coverageofcampus baseball
" WBFO
games

WBFO had United Press News coverage from our
" wire
machine in studios
WBFO had a regular remote broadcast from an
" art
gallery
was the station chosen to inaugurate
" WBFO
George Gershwin Week in Buffalo and cover the
opening of Porgy andBess at a local theater

WBFO teamed with WNED-TV to present the
" first
local stereophonic broadcast for television
at all times works with other University
" WBFO
departments by providing technical assistance, re-

cording equipment, etc.
Here are some arrangements for our fall schedule and
a little bit ofWBFO history.
When the station began broadcasting in the city-wide
FM frequency, we recognized theneed for a closed circuit
station to the campus buildings—the dormitories in particular. The students pooled their efforts and private
equipment to build a low power AMtransmitter to reach
the dorms. True, our aerial was a wire hanging out a
window—but it worked and the F.C.C. permitted us to
use it. This AM operationon a closed circuit has allowed
us to break in new personnel before graduating them to
city-wide FM broadcasting. This year we plan adding
new equipment, and starting an early morning program
to be broadcast to the residence halls.
Personnel is always a problem. As a radio station responsible to the Federal Communications Commission,
we can accept only highly qualified students to our staff.
Also radio work is highly time consuming and exacting.
This meanswe need a large staff which creates a constant
plea for new personnel. For this reason, the Deans at
Buffalo State Teachers College have been contacted and
offered to permit their students to work at our station.
They would have all the privileges as our own personnel
except running for elected offices. Some of their faculty
might also work with us, so we envision fine cooperation
resulting in quality programs this fall.
A highlight of the coming season, if all arrangements
can be made, will be a regularly scheduled newscast from
Radio Moscow. WBFO considers informing the public
one of its main duties as an educational radio station.
Our two main educational objectives are catalogued
internal and external purposes.
Internally, we give students the opportunity to learn
broadcasting. As Inotedearlier, many ofour staffgo into
commercial broadcasting. It is also interesting to note
that WBFO will offer to help train Canisius students as
part of its educational efforts. Saturday morning will be
an on-the-air workshop for new personnel—withcriticism
from professionals from the local stations or our faculty.
This will not only teach our staff, but also it will present
the listening audience with a criteria for judging the
quality ofother stations.
Externally, WBFO will live up to the expectations of
an educational station through its selection ofbroadcast(continued on page 14)

Dean of Engineering
THIS HANDSOME gentleman looks more like
a football coach, he is the new dean of the School of
Engineering. E. A. Trabant (his friends call him Art,
but the initials stand for Edward Arthur which he rarely
uses) is a native Californian which might account for his
athletic look. He is tall (6 feet 2% in.) and tanned and
shoots in the low 90s on the golf course. He enjoys
swimming, and puttering in his rose garden.
Dr. Trabant's principal research interests have been in

THO

the fields of heat transfer, continuum mechanics and
nuclear engineering. He received his AB degree from
Occidental College, Los Angeles, and his PhD from
California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Beginning as an instructor in mathematics at Purdue University in 1947, Dr. Trabant was appointed associate professor of mathematics, mechanical engineering and engineering sciences in 1952. Two years later he was named
the head of the division of engineering sciences and in
1955 he became the director of the Purdue Nuclear
Engineering Laboratory.

8

Since 1956 he had held two additional posts —director
of off-campus graduate programs in engineering and
assistant dean of thePurdue Graduate School. He serves
as a consultant to the Argonne National Laboratory,
Lemont, 111.; Midwest Applied Science Corporation,
Lafayette, Ind.; and General Technology Corporation,
Chicago. He also is the consulting editor in engineering
science for the Wadsworth Publishing Company in San
Francisco.
Membership includes: Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi,
American Society for Engineering Education, American
Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American
Mathematics Society.
Dr. Trabant is married and has two daughters, Jeraldine M., 14 and Arta M., 10. Mrs. Trabant, a graduate
of the University of Southern California, was president
of the Faculty Women's Club at Purdue and has participated in many civic affairs. The family lives at 145
Troy-Del Way in Williamsville.

�changing. An explanation of this change has been described by some by saying that engineering and engineers
are becoming more closely allied to and like science and
scientists. However, engineering and engineers do differ
from science and scientists. Engineering encompasses the
application of various principles of the sciences as well
as the background knowledge for the analysis and synthesis of systems composed of structures, energy converters, circuits, processes, or a combination of these
elements and the prediction of their behavior under specific working conditions in terms of men, materials, cost
and time. Engineering problems tend to be specific in
nature with concern shown for cost and deadlines. An
engineer is required to integrate his work with other
people of different training and experience and he must
be willing to accept the responsibility for the social and
economic implications of his work.
With this as a working definition of an engineer and
engineering, your School of Engineering at the University will meet its obligation to the future with a plan for
the total education of engineers. A break with some traditional concepts of engineering education will occur.

A New Concept
in Engineering Education
by E. A. Trabant

THE PAST ten years the nation and the
world entered into a period of great engineering
and scientific change. This brought about a new
concept in engineering education. From educational plans
which were stabilized on a given set of ideas, a static
situation, engineering education is at present dynamically

DURING

However, since students must have comprehension and
wide application of the basic principles of the physical
and engineering sciences which will not suffer obsolescence, a conservative approach will be in order for all
new plans. In order to have successful and satisfying
careers in the last forty years of the twentieth century,
graduates from the School of Engineering at the University will be provided with the opportunity for the mastery
of the basic engineering sciences and principles. Much
attention will be paid to the development of verbal and
mathematical skills. Communication of ideas will be
stressed. A sound foundation will be provided for the
understanding of socialand economic values for a feeling
for the beautiful and morally good and for an understanding of human motives. At the same time teaching
methods must be kept abreast of industry's use of new
engineering facilities and methods and students must be
taught to exploit these facilities.
In the near future, as graduates of the School of Engineering, I will be sending you a report which will describe
in more detail how your alma mater is seeking to fulfill
her obligation to engineering students of today and tomorrow. It will be written with a frankness both as to
problems and accomplishments thatis appropriatewithin
the alumni family. In themeantime, I urge you to support
your secondary schools for the continuance of the raising
of standards in college preparatory work and to encourage interested and highly capable young people to enter
engineering and for the most talented to continue with
graduate work.
Finally, I extend a cordial and sincere invitation to
better acquaint yourselfwith the undergraduate, graduate
and research facilities and capabilities of the School of

Dean of Dental School
PARTICULARLY THOSE he can enter
himself, art and traveling are some of the hobbies
that the vivacious new dean of the School of Dentistry, James A. English has acquired. About sports, he
says: "I'll try any, but I've never become an expert. I
enjoy underwater spear fishing, I am a golfer (dubber
class), I havebeen on a runner-up duck-pin bowling team
(because we had a dandy handicap), and I have even been
known to go horseback riding. (I havethe IV disc operation to prove it!)"
Besides the Dean's avid interest in sports, he has done
some painting, ("a few oils and pastels to help my art
appreciation") collecting of coins and stamps, jewelrymaking such as cuff-links, rings and pins, and a bit of
carpentry now and then.
Being in the Navy (he's a captain) has given him the
opportunity to do a good deal of traveling which he has
enjoyed because he likes to compare the customs and
viewpoints ofpersons in other countries. He hopes he will
be able to bring a number of educators and scientists from
Europe to the University on visiting fellowships and exchange professorships.

Dr. English is a proved scholar and administrator as
well as a dentist. In 1936 he received his dental degree
from the University ofPennsylvania with first honors. In
1948 that University presented him with his Master of
Science degree. Johns Hopkins University awarded him
the PhD in 1955. Since 1945, Dr. English has published
in 28 research publications, and received much acclaim
for his outstanding work.
This past summer, he retired from the Navy. He had
been active in administrative and research projects. In
1956-57 he was senior liaison officer of the Officeof Naval
Research in London. Subsequently he was assigned to
the Officeof Naval Research Bureau of Medicine &amp; Surgery and the U.S. Naval Dental School in Washington.
He is a Fellow, American College of Dentists, International College of Dentists and the American Association for Advancement of Science. He belongs to the
American Dental Association, New York Academy of
Science, American Academy ofOral Pathology and Royal
Society of Medicine, London. He is president-elect ofthe
International Association for Dental Research.
Dr. English is married and has two children.

�On Dental Education
by
Dr. James A. English

THE

TREMENDOUS ADVANCES in scientific
knowledge and technology during the past century
have made it increasingly difficult to giveprofessional
students competence in all of the technical and fundamental specialties of their profession and at the same time
provide adequate general education. The general aspects
of education must be preserved and at the same time
superiortechnical training must be given. A strong foundation in the physical sciences, social sciences, and humanities must be interwoven through the total course of
training of the dental surgeon. This will develop men of
strong moral fibre and provide a more cogent motivational drive in the student. It is important to instill an
early awareness of the need to serve others and develop
a desire to accomplish. Eradication of disease is an accomplishment that can provide a deep sense of gratification. Technical and scientific training has more purpose
when background training in social and cultural areas
has been adequate, for then the services rendered by the
professional man to society are closely related to his basic

needs and attitudes.
Itis well recognized that research in thehealth sciences
will help lessen the professional load. A strong research
relationshipbetween the investigator who works in fundamental areas and the clinical investigator will serve to
improve professional skills, provide means for treating
more ills in greater numbers of patients and, most of all,
will provide ways of preventing disease. There is an
eventual advantage in spending proportionally more time
in preventing disease than in treating it. Education and
research go hand in hand, and the student who learns to
make a contribution to the knowledge of his profession
while in the University will continue to be research
oriented in practice.
There has been a lot of concern today about the inadequacy of "high calibre" students at the college level
available to begin training in dentistry. The criteria pri-

marily used in denning thecalibre of applicants for dental
training is the score in the college grading system, with
some accessory information being obtained by aptitude
tests made available through the American Dental Association. Although a certain degree of correlation may be
found between a high rating in these two criteria and
success in dental schools, few criteria have been established with regard to successful dentists. Success is a
culture-laden concept, and in America success would
probably include high financial status, admission to
select professional societies, invitations to give clinics and
papers, writing ofprofessional publications, participation
in community affairs, and certain personality and character traits. Certainly these are important criteria, and
we need graduates who can succeed in a competitive profession that is geared to standards of this kind. Yet it
seems that one could be called a successful dentist if he
gave skillful care to his community, prevented extensive
disease, tookpride in his work, kept abreast of advances
in his profession and had the respect ofhis patients as well
as his colleagues. With a good background in the humanities and social sciences, the dentist will have a sense
ofvalues that will permit him to feel successful if heknows
he has given good service to mankind and if he can take
part in general community affairsby providing a modicum
of leadership in occasional non-professional things. The
school will do well to follow the careers of its graduates
and observe how they score in a multitude of criteria of
success. Where failures occur and inadequacies in the
training seem to be at fault, changes can be instituted.
When outstanding successes occur, contributions that the
school has made toward such success can be noted and
accentuated. Remembering that there are different kinds
of success, our educational patterns must be kept flexible
enough to permit the production ofa spectrum of graduates ranging from thesolid citizen to the sparkling leader
or investigator.

SPORTS
BULLS of Head Coach Dick Offenhamerkicked
off the 1960 grid campaign on September 17th in
Mitchie Stadium, home of the Cadets of Army. This
venture into the hallowed grounds of the U. S. Military
Academy at West Point, N. V., marked the opening of
the first ten-game schedule since 1916.
Forty-four years ago the Bulls of UB finished with a
mark of 3-5-2, defeating Hobart, Westminster and Thiel
while losing to Rochester, Hamilton, Allegany, St. Bonaventure and Geneva and tying Grove City and Detroit
at 0-0.
Since that year, the usual number of games per season
has hovered at seven or nine with a few seasons totaling
six and eight. The personable Dick Offenhamer, usually
a disciple of the Power ofPositive Thinking, is the first
to admit that the thought of ten straight weeks of football without a holiday has caused his staff a busy summer,
not to mention a considerable total of sleepless nights.
Yes, Offie is concerned. The Bulls will have a chore
facing them if they are to match the records of the past
two seasons. In 1958Buffalo captured the Lambert Cup,
emblematic of the Eastern Small-College Championship,
and finished second to Delaware in 1959 with an identical
8-1-0 finish. This season will see the Bulls face the power
of Colgate and Boston Universities,both games being held
in Buffalo's War Memorial Stadium.
How do the Bulls look at this date? Here they are
UB has one of the finest quarterback corps in theEast
with senior Gordon Bukaty (team captain) backed by the
crowd-pleasing Gene Guerrie, master of the air lanes;
Joe Oliverio who is sometimes called Mr. Dependable and
sophomore Pat Price, as yet untested under college fire.
The entire backfield is experienced and deep with the
halfback calls most likely to go to lettermen Ron Clayback and Skip Maue who scored 24 and 22 points respectively last season. They'll be matching strides with
lettermen Steve Salasny as well as classy Gene Reilly,
Don Tripi and Roy Sommer, all juniors, the latter man
being a surprise transferfrom the Bisons ofBucknell who
is eligible to start play in September. Sophomore halves
include Bob Baker, John Valentic and Dick Reeve.
Looking to fullback, therewill be senior letterman Tom
MacDougall ofDetroit who scored on his first play from
scrimmage against Columbia in 1958, and Jerry Gergley,
also a fourth-year letterman from Kenmore, N. Y. They
will be backed by junior Joe Cesari from Kulpmont, Pa.
and sophomores John Michno of Buffalo and Dan Nole
from Utica, N. Y.
While backfield coach Bob Deming is faced with a
choice problem, things up front have end coach Ron
Laßocque and interior line coach Mike Rhodes quite
concerned. As Mike puts it, "You just don't see four

THE

....

14

Fagan were a fearsome foursome."
Mike did plenty about it during Spring practice sessions, assigning most of his time to developing an instantexperience potion for the talents of senior Bob Yanchuck,
converted from guard; juniors Jack Hartman, Bob Miller,
and Ed Mooradian, all over six feet and going 190, 195,
220and 225. There were encouraging performances given
by sophomores Kevin Brinkworth, Ed Harris and Leroy
Riley. They have good potential at 215, 230 and 215.
The guards will average 196 pounds with three lettermen among the contenders. They are seniors Phil Bamford and Joe Shifflet and junior Bill Roof. The sophomores will be John Daniels, Dick Hort and Jim Wolfe.
At center there'll be a real contest for the starting nod.
Junior letterman Lv Lodestro will be pushed by senior
Chuck Scott,also a veteran. Bernie Ralph has been moved
from the guard duties he had as a sophomorein 1959 and
Detroit's Armand Martin will no doubt see plenty of

action.
Ron Laßocque, who has seen moments of genius in
his end prospects, hasn't named the men who were the
most consistent in Spring drills. The best bets for starting
assignments should be three lettermen. They are seniors
Carley Keats and Nate Bliss or Bill Sclent, a junior. John
Powley, also a junior as is Bob Ranus, will be joined by
sophomores Jim Bowden and Chuck Winzer.
There are still choice season-ticket seats available for
UBfollowers, even though the Sports Boosters campaign
has again broken all previous records with 2600 season
passes now sold. Tickets for any or all games can be reserved by phoning or writing to the Athletic Ticket office,

Season tickets will assure you a choice seat for the five
home games on the schedule listed below. A check for
$16.50 mailed to the above address will indicate your
support for the toughest schedule ever undertaken by
Western New York's only intercollegiate football team.
You'll see the Bulls continue their wide-open, professional style Split-T attack which packs explosive power
both on the ground and via the air routes.

ing material. Our station has not, and
will never, try to appeal to one mass

audience. Unlike commercial stations,
we have no intentions of trying to
please as many people as possible
every hour we are on the air. WBFO
can present programs other stations
cannot because of commercial pressures.

Our aim is to build listening audiences for particular programs. For
instance, David Posner's show
Poetry Room won a wide following.
The station's series UB IN '60broadcast live drama productions such as
Saint Joan, Stalag 17,Dido andAeneas,
and others from theBaird Hall stage.
This series brought many new listeners from the local theater crowd.
This fall Mr. Irwin Atkins of the Department of Drama and Speech will
produce a play a month exclusively
for WBFO. These will be three act
plays lasting at least two hours.
The commercial stations in the area
have contributed greatly to our station. For example, WYSL gave us a
turntable, WBEN supplied us with
records, WGR sent announcers to
coach our staff—and on down the
list. At all times they were willing
to listen to our problems and give
WBFO needed advice.
If any alumni wish to advise us or
comment on our programming, we
would be delighted to hearfrom them.
Write to WBFO, University of Buffalo, Buffalo 14, New York.
Remember, it's your station too.

This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

�The Cover
Mastering the piano is a must for every
music major. Frank Mulvey, instructor of
design and photography in the Art School,
has captured the fascinating movement of
hands on the keyboard in this cover design
by combining photography with a technique
known as photogramming. or otherwise
called cameraless photography.

Many individuals and many communities will feel painfully the loss
of Cameron Baird, taken from them
far ahead of the span most men have
come to expect: His large and loving
family and his many friends, whose range and complexity
it would be hard, indeed, impossible to set down. Cameron
Baird was deeply sensitive to people, deeply aware of
them, kind and generous in subtle ways and on unknown
occasions, the sum of which he alone could count.

The University community will miss him, above all the
Music Department, for whose growth and excellence he
was largelyresponsible, St. Paul's church of which he was
so long a loyal member, the music community of the
city, and Buffalo itself, of which The News named him an
outstanding citizen in 1958. Nor should one leave out
the baseball enthusiasts, then tennis fans. And this does
not begin to exhaust his range. For Cameron Baird was
many things to many people; for all alike the quality of
his response, the richness of the man was a rare privilege
for all too short a time.

The above editorial (May 7, 1960, Buffalo Evening
News) expressed the loss which the University Family
shared with the Community in the untimely death of
Cameron Baird. This issue of the Bulletin is dedicated to
the memory of the former chairman of the music department who felt "Nulla solus nisi musica." ("Unless there
is music, the sun doesn't shine.")
Since his appointment in 1952, he labored hard and
effectively in building the reputation of the University as
a fine arts center, attracting world famous artists to the
campus. In 1957the completion of the new Music Build-

ing—named in memory of his illustrious father—added
greatly to the efficiency and prestige of music education.

The following pages relate why the Department of
Music has had such great success in its short history—
Cameron Baird provided the inspiration and leadership.

MUSIC
Student

LORENE ESCHNER is a pretty 21-year-old senior in the Music School whose
ambition is to become "a goodhigh school
music teacher." She looks forward to conducting her own band and orchestra and
putting on high school operas and musicals.
The daughter of alumnus, Edward G.,
MD'36, Lorene is the second in a family
offive children. She is a conscientious student, an excellent performer, (playing the
Viola, singing and acting) an art-lover,
painting being her favorite hobby, and
likes any activity that takes place on water.
In a conversation with the Editor, Lorrie
tells her own story of what the last 3Vi
years of studying music at the University
have meant to her.

�COLLEGE

HAS OFFERED me the chance to grow
socially and intellectually. Obviously it's a more
maturing experience than high school, possibly, I
suppose, because of the close association between students
and faculty members. Music students, especially, need
this close relationship to become better musicians. Music
is so subjective—it comes from the heart!—and one can't
increase musical sensitivity in a stilted, formal relationship.

The intellectual fare? Well, in my opinion I've been
offered one of the finest educations obtainable. I've not
only had expert training in my major field, the viola, but
I've also had the opportunity to study every other orchestral and band instrument. This year, as a senior, I'm
spending over 180 hours in teaching music on the elementary and secondary levels. Along with this concen-

Lorene has been studying the

years. Her most formal

tration, I've already had 40 hours in the Humanities—
English, European history, sociology, and geology.
More and more I realize how important it is for a
music teacher to be broadly educated. Of course there
are successful teachers without college educations, but
generally they seem to have rather narrow interests. Here
I've learned that the world doesn't revolve around a sharp
or a flat. For example, I found I needed more training in
English composition, even though I had good marks in
that subject in high school. I've had the chance to
strengthen that here. And geology has been really fascinating, especially thefield trips. Before taking the course,
I never had enough interest to browse through the local
Museum of Science.
Why UB? Really, Mr. Baird inspired me to come here.
At first I had a strong desire to go away to college, but

training has been under Fred Ressel,

first violistfor the Buffalo
Philharmonic Orchestra.

�"It's important for

in the spring of 1957 I met Dr. Irving Cheyette at the
Erie County All-State Festival. He told me about ÜB's
new music building, then under construction, and created
enough interest in me so that later I visited the campus.
Then I met Mr. Baird. He was an easy man to like and
admire, and I did, right away—probably because he took
such enthusiastic interest in me. And of course, the viola
was his favorite instrument and this created a bond between us. Well, he encouraged me to study music education, and showed me architect's plans for Baird Hall
in general, he"sold" me on UBand I've never been sorry.
And part of my feeling, I know, was an earnest desire not
to let him down. He was truly an inspiring man. And
then I was fortunate enough to get support from the Erie
County Music Association as well as a Simon Scholarship, and my father, who is a UB alumnus, influenced

me too.

You may be interested to know what a music major
absorbs in four years. Well, number one on the list is
learning to play the piano, and passing the piano exam.
This is a necessity for music teachers. They are often
called on to play for school and community activities,
and must be able to sight-read fluently. To be certified, a
student must be able to play all of the 36 scales, major
and minor; know a composition of the Romantic and
Classical periods; be able to harmonize scales up to four
sharps and four flats, and harmonize at sight a melody
given by the instructor. Beyond this, music education
majors must be able to play by heart "The Star Spangled
Banner" and "America."
Extra-curricular activities sponsored by the Department are varied enough to satisfy the interests of any
student. Mine have includedplaying viola in the Orchestra

for the past three years, playing the glockenspiel and
clarinet in the band, singing soprano in the Chorale, and
appearing in some nine or ten operas and musical productions.
Yes, I'm looking forward to graduation, and the chance
to teach some of the things I've learned here.And I hope
I can take with me what many of us call "the spirit of
Baird Hall." This means, to me, an intense interest in the
professional development of every student. At ÜB, every
student is made to feel his accomplishments and achievements reflect upon the entire Department. Mostly everyone wants to maintain the highest possible standards in
memory of our benefactor, Cameron Baird. This may
sound sentimental, but although he may be dead, his
spirit is very much alive in his building. His name is always on someone's lips, and I know his memory will be
honored by UB music students for generations to come.
A word of advice? Yes—if you're interested in college,
I really suggest you take a good look at your area colleges
before deciding on the romantic far away places. Possibly
college would have meant as much to me elsewhere, but
I can't help but wonder ifit would have been such a really
significant experience.

one of the finest

educations obtainable."
ITS ORGANIZATION
by Cameron Baird nearly eight
years ago, the University of Buffalo Music Department has oriented
itself more toward community service than toward the conservatory
idea. Rather than a concentration
upon the development of virtuoso
performers, the department has focussed upon the development of "discriminating and capable musicians,
intentupon serving their communities
as well as on attaining virtuoso skill."
Performance ability is of prime importance of course in such a goal, but
students for whom this is the only
goal belong in a conservatory, not a
university. A well-rounded liberal
education, including understandings
of the history of our own and other
cultures, at least oneforeign language,
some familiarity with the other fine
arts, and the ability to express one's
ideas accurately and forcefully, are
certainly as important to the developing musician who would be other
than a performing technician as a
full understanding of his own field.
The majority of the students who
have graduated from the Music Department of the University have exemplified these motives. What area
of music can be of more service to
others than that of Music Education?
Already there is a substantial number
of UB graduates teaching music in
the public schools of Western New
York. Each year the number of graduates in this field increases. These
students have graduated from a program which has been lauded as one
of thefinest teacher preparatory programs in music offered in New York
State. Besides the basic courses in
Theory, Counterpoint, Orchestration,
and Conducting, each Music Education student must have performing
ability upon at least one instrument,
a basic facility at the Piano, and the

pursuing a broad liberal education.

Lectures and Concerts

The Budapest String Quartet has been performing
every year, under the Slee Bequest,
since 1955. The bequest asks that the complete
Beethoven Cycle ofString
Quartets be given every year.

WHEN

THE FINAL note of a composition is
inscribed, the composer's work is done, and

also his creative struggle and pleasure. This
work was accomplished mostly in silence and alone. Yet,
music, to have meaning for others, must be played aloud,
—and the road from composition to audition can be
rough and long." Ned Rorem, Slee Professor of Composition for the past year at the University, and one of
America's leading composers gives this practical warning
to music students who dream of becoming composers.
Professor Rorem knows from experience how long the
road can be. He received his first musical training at
Northwestern and the Curtis institute. After two fellowships to Tanglewood he was recipient of a Master's degree
at Juilliard, and of numerous honors including the
Gershwin Memorial Award, the Lili Boulanger Award,
a Fullbright Fellowship and a Guggenheim Fellowship.
Creative music, he says, is seldom remunerative in itself.
Most composers work in related professions such as performing, teaching or reviewing.
In 1958, Mr. Rorem was offered a regular job, the Slee
professorship, by the late Cameron Baird. The will of
Frederick and Alice Slee provides for a master-teacher of
8

composition, an annual cycle of the complete Beethoven
string quartets by a nationally known chamber group,
and five other chamber music concerts. Mr. Rorem was
the first of the composers to come for a full year. (Aaron
Copland, Carlos Chavez and Leon Kirchner had each
held the position for a semester.) Also, Mr. Rorem is the
first of these visitors actually to compose a piece for the
School. Last May 14, in Baird Hall, he conducted the
world premiere of his work, "Eleven Studies for Eleven
Players," which was dedicated to Mr. Baird.

Can a composer teach students to become composers?
"Composers are born, not made," says Mr. Rorem.
"You can lead a horse to water, but not make him drink."
"About all I can do is shape students artistically, not

practically. I endeavor to guide them, to separate the
wheat from the chaff, to bring out the creator hidden
in us all."
During his year in Buffalo, Mr. Rorem has become
integrated with both school and community, lecturing
and performing his works. He has enjoyed his stay because he feels the University's music school, though very
young, may soon be up to the finest.

The Marching Band

THE

MARCHING BULLS, although only several months old,
have won a great deal of respect
from football fans. Under the direction of Lowell Shaw, instructor in
music, the 54-piece band, made its
debut at the Youngstown University
game at Rotary Field.
Richard H. Fagan, band director
in Lancaster, is the marching consultant and has written most of the
shows performed during the recent
season. Tom Haenle, assistant director of Norton Union, is the financial
advisor.
Leading the Bulls as drum major
has been Maurice Van Sice, a senior
in pharmacy, and the majorette has
been Bonnie Grimm, a junior in
physical education. Under their direction, the band has practiced ardently twice during the week and on
Saturday mornings.
With their new uniforms, fine director, and spirit, this marching band
has won the hearts of all of the University family. We hope we'll see
much more of them in the future.

UNIVERSITY EDUCATION
AND MODERN CONDITIONS*

Photo—UB Audio-Visual

IS A VAST and complex subject involving many problems of great difficulty. I propose,
in what follows, to dealwith only one of these problems, namely, the adaption of university education to

EDUCATION

modern conditions.
Universities are an institution of considerable antiquity.
They developed during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries out of cathedral schools where scholastic theologians learned the art of dialectic. But, in fact, the aims
which inspired universities go back to ancient times.
One may say that Plato's Academy was the first university. Plato's Academy had certain well-marked objectives. It aimed at producing the sort of people who

would be suitable to become Guardians in his ideal Re-

public. The education which Plato designed was not in
his day what would now be called "cultural." A "cultural"
education consists mainly in the learning of Greek and
Latin. But the Greeks had no need to learn Greek and
no occasion to learn Latin. Plato mainly wished his
Academy to teach first, mathematics and astronomy,
and, then, philosophy. The philosophy was to have a
scientific inspiration with a tincture of Orphic mysticism.
Something of this sort, in various modified forms, persisted in the West until the Fall of Rome. After some
centuries, it was taken up by the Arabs and, from them,
largely through the Jews, transmitted back to the West.

�In the West it still retained much of Plato's original
political purpose, since itaimed at producing an educated
elite with a more or less complete monopoly of political
power. This aim persisted, virtually unchanged, until the
latter half of the nineteenth century. From that time onwards, the aim has become increasingly modified by the
intrusion of two new elements: democracy and science.
The intrusion of democracy into academic practice and
theory is much more profound than that of science, and
much more difficult to combine with anything like the
aims of Plato's Academy.
Until it was seen that political democracy had become
inevitable, universal education, which is now taken for
granted in all civilized countries, was vehemently opposed, on grounds which were broadly aristocratic. There
had been ever since ancient times a very sharp line between the educated and the uneducated. The educated
had had a severe training and had learnt much, while the
uneducated could not read or write. The educated, who
had a monopoly of political power, dreaded the extension
of schools to the "lower classes". The President of the

Royal Society, in the year 1807, considered that it would
be disastrous if working men could read, since he feared
that they would spend their time reading Tom Paine.
When my grandfather established an elementary school
in his parish, well-to-do neighbours were outraged, saying that he had destroyed the hitherto aristocratic character of the neighbourhood. It was political democracy—
at least, in England—that brought a change of opinion
in this matter. Disraeli, after securing the vote for urban
working men, favoured compulsory education with the
phrase, "We must educate our masters." Education came
to seem the right of allwho desired it. But it was not easy
to see how this right was to be extended to university
education; nor, ifit were, how universities couldcontinue
to perform their ancient functions.
The reasons which have induced civilized countries to
adopt universal education are various. There were enthusiasts for enlightenment who saw no limits to the good
that could be done by instruction. Many of these were
very influential in the early advocacy of compulsory education. Then there were practical men who realized that
a modern State and modern processes of production and
distribution cannot easily be managed if a large proportion of the population cannot read. A third group were
those who advocated education as a democratic right.
There was a fourth group, more silent and less open,
which saw the possibilities of education from the point
of view of official propaganda. The importance of education in this regard is very great. In the eighteenth century,
most wars were unpopular; but, since men have been able
to read the newspapers, almost all wars have been popular. This is only one instance of the hold on public opinion
which Authority has acquired through education.
Although universities were not directly concerned in
these educational processes, they have been profoundly
affected by them in ways which are, broadly speaking,

inevitable, butwhich are, in part, very disturbingto those
who wish to preserve what was good in older ideals.
It is difficult to speak in advocacy of older idealswithout using language that has a somewhat old-fashioned
flavour. There is a distinction, which formerly received
general recognition, between skilland wisdom. The growing complexities of technique have tended to blur this
distinction, at any rate in certain regions.
There are kinds of skillwhich are not speciallyrespected
although they are difficult to acquire. A contortionist, I
am told, has to begin training in early childhood, and,
when proficient, he possesses a very rare and difficult
skill. But it is not felt that this skill is socially useful, and
it is, therefore, not taught in schools or universities. A
great many skills, however, indeed a rapidly increasing
number, are very vital elements in the wealth and power
of a nation. Most of these skills are new and do not command the respect of ancient tradition. Some of them may
be considered to minister to wisdom, but a great many
certainly do not.
But what, you will ask, do you mean by "wisdom?" I
am not prepared with a neat definition. But I will do my
best to convey what I think the word is capable of meaning. It is a word concerned partly with knowledge and
partly with feeling. It should denote a certain intimate
union of knowledge with apprehension of human destiny
and the purposes of life. It requires a certain breadth of
vision, which is hardly possible without considerable
knowledge. But it demands, also, a breadth of feeling, a
certain kind of universality of sympathy.
I think that higher education should do what is possible
towards promoting not only knowledge, but wisdom. I
do not think that this is easy; and I do not think that the
aim should be too conscious,for, ifit is, itbecomes stereotyped and priggish. It should be something existing almost unconsciously in the teacher and conveyed almost
unintentionally to the pupil. I agree with Plato in thinking
this the greatest thing that education can do. Unfortunately, it is one of the things most threatened by the
intrusion of crude democratic shibboleths into our
universities.
The fanatic of democracy is apt to say that all men are
equal. There is a sense in which this is true, but it is not a
sense which much concerns the educator. What can be
meant truly by the phrase "All men are equal" is that in
certain respects they have equal rights and should have
an equal share of basic political power. Murder is a crime
whoever thevictim may be, and everybody should be protected against it by the lawand the police. Any set of men
or women which has no share in political power is pretty
certain to suffer injustices of an indefensible sort. All men
should be equal before the law. It is such principles which
constitute what is valid in democracy.
But this should not mean that we cannot recognize
differing degrees of skill or merit in different individuals.
Every teacher knows that some pupils are quick to learn
and others are slow. Every teacher knows that some boys

�and girls are eager to acquire knowledge, while others
have to be forced into the minimum demanded by
Authority. When a group of young people are all taught
together in one class, regardless of their greater or less
ability, the pace has to be too quick for the stupid and
too slow for the clever. The amount of teaching that a
young person needs depends to an enormous extent upon
his ability and his tastes. A stupid child will only pay
attention to what has to be learnt while the teacher is
there to insist upon the subject-matter of the lesson. A
really clever young person, on the contrary, needs opportunity and occasional guidance when he finds some
difficulty momentarily insuperable. The practice of teaching clever and stupid pupils together is extremely unfortunate, especially as regards the ablest of them. Infinite boredom settles upon these outstanding pupils while
matters that they have long ago understood are being
explained to thosewho are backward.
This evil is greater the greater the age of the student.
By the time that an able young man is at a university,
what he needs is occasional advice (not orders) as to
what to read, and an instructor who has time and sympathy to listen to his difficulties. The kind of instructor
that I have in mind should be thoroughly competent in
the subject in which the student is specializing, but he
should be still young enough to remember the difficulties
that are apt to be obstacles to the learner, and not yet so
ossified as to be unable to discuss without dogmatism.
Discussion is a very essential part in the education of the
best students and requires an absence of authority if it is
to be free and fruitful. 1 am thinking not only of discussion
with teachers but of discussion among the students themselves. For such discussion, there should be leisure. And,
indeed, leisure during student years is of the highest importance. When I was an undergraduate, I made a vow
that, when in due course 1 became a lecturer, I would not
think that lectures do any good as a method of instruction, but only as an occasional stimulus. So far as the
abler students are concerned, I still take this view. Lectures as a means of instruction are traditional in universities and were no doubt useful before the invention of
printing, but since that time they have been out of date
as regards the abler kind of students.
It is, I am profoundly convinced, a mistake to object
on democratic grounds to the separation of abler from
less able pupils in teaching. In matters that the public
considers important no one dreams of such an application of supposed democracy. Everybody is willing to
admit that some athletes are better than others and that
movie stars deserve more honour than ordinary mortals.
That is because they have a kind of skill which is much
admired even by those who do not possess it. But intellectual ability, so far from being admired by stupid boys,
is positively and actively despised; and even among
grown-ups, the term "egg-head" is not expressive of
respect. It has been one of the humiliations of the military
authorities of our time that the man who nowadays
14

brings success in war is no longer a gentleman of commanding aspect, sitting upright upon a prancing horse,
but a wretched scientist whom every military-minded boy
would have bullied throughout his youth. However, it is
not for special skill in slaughter that I should wish to see
the "egg-head" respected.
The needs of the modernworld have brought a conflict,
which I think could be avoided, between scientific subjects and those that are called "cultural." The latter represent tradition and still have, in my country, a certain
snobbish pre-eminence. Cultural ignorance, beyond a
point, is despised. Scientific ignorance, however complete,
is not. I do not think, myself, that the division between
cultural and scientific education should be nearly as
definite as it has tended to become. I think that every
scientific student should have some knowledge of history

and literature, and that every cultural student should
have some acquaintance with some of the basic ideas of
science. Some people will say that there is not time, during the university curriculum, to achieve this. But I think
that opinion arises partly from unwillingness to adapt
teaching to those who are not going to penetrate very far
into the subject in question. More specifically, whatever
cultural education is offered to scientific students should
not involve a knowledge of Latin or Greek. And I think
that whatever of science is offered to those who are not
going to specialize in any scientific subject should deal
partly with scientific history and partly with general aspects of scientific method. I think it is a good thing to
invite occasional lectures from eminent men to be addressed to the general body of students and not only to
those who specialize in the subject concerned.
There are some things which I think it ought to be possible, though at present it is not, to take for granted in all
who are engaged in university teaching. Such men or
women must, of course, be proficient in some special skill.
But, inaddition to this, there is a general outlook which
it is their duty to put before thosewhom they are instructing. They should exemplify the value of intellect and of
the search for knowledge. They should make it clear that
what at any time passes for knowledge may, in fact, be
erroneous. They should inculcate an undogmatic temper,
a temper of continual search and not of comfortable certainty. They should try to create an awareness of the
world as a whole, and not only of what is near in space
and time. Through the recognition of the likelihood of
error, they should make clear the importance of tolerance.
They shouldremind the student thatthosewhom posterity
honours have very often been unpopular in their own day
and that, on this ground, social courage is a virtue of
supreme importance. Above all, every educator who is
engaged in an attempt to make the best of the students to
whom he speaks must regard himself as the servant of
truth and not of this or that political or sectarian interest.
Truth is a shining goddess, always veiled, always distant,
never wholly approachable, but worthy of all the devotion of which the human spirit is capable.

A
FAMOUS
ALUMNUS-

THE

GREAT CAPTAIN of modern warfare, Na-

poleon, composed the maxim, "Le secret de la guerre

est dans le secret de communications" (the secret of
warfare is in the secret of communications.) But it was
Albert James Myer, MD 1851, who actually discovered
the solution to the problem—flag-signaling.
A Comanche chief signaling his men with a spear suggested the new form of communications to Myer. This
modification of the sign language of the Plains Indians
was so simple and effective that it became the signal system of our present army and navy, later spread to the
boy scouts, and has now been adopted by practically all
nations as an international language.
Myer's attention was called to the need for a kind of
signal language when he obtained a commission as assistant surgeon in the regular army after he had graduated
from Buffalo Medical College, as it was called then. He
was ordered to New Mexico where he came upon the
Comanches making signals to other groups of Indians by
waving their lances. It struck him that such movements
might be utilized for connecting adjacent military posts,
or parts of an army in active operations.
The young surgeon became so interested in the idea
that he devoted much of his leisure time to its development and finally devised a system of signals which became
the basis of the code or codes used during the war. He
came east, explained the system to the authorities, and
took out letters patent on his invention.
In 1858 a board was appointed to examine Myer's system and its application to the army. The board approved
the system, and experiments were instituted under the
direction of the Secretary of War.

Albert James Myer, MD 1851—
Father of the Signal Corps
and the Weather Bureau.
Ft. Myer, Va. is named
in his honor.

Myer was appointed signal officer, July 6, 1861, with
the rank of major. In his letter of acceptance, he asked
that since the system was new and of great importance,
could he be permitted to assume responsibility for his
plans and, be left unrestricted in carrying them out.
The first practical field trial of the flag signals was
made at Fort Fauntleroy, New Mexico, where Myer had
been ordered. For about a month daily practice continued
until November 25, when the men took the field in an
Indian Campaign. Myer wrote in his report, "Signal
practice has now passed from the experimental to the
practical stage."
The use of the signal system as an auxiliary in Indian
warfare attracted general attention, although there was
the usual opposition to the new service (flag-floppers).
The outbreak of the Civil War offered the opportunity
for the flag-signal system to pass from the Indian campaigns on the Great Plains to the field of larger battles
for Colonel Myer carried the system into the northern
service. Since that time the Signal Corps has been an
important branch of the Military Service.
Later Myer became famous with the publication of his
Manualfor Signals. In 1870 the Weather Bureau was
founded, basing much of system on Myer's findings of
the value of sending storm warnings from data collected
at scattered points. Until his death in 1880, Dr. Myer
continued hiswork, building a more reliable weather service for business and military use.

In utilizing the abundance of Varsity experience, "Serf" counts on retaining his double-post system with
many, many variations added, just
how many new wrinkles can be employed will depend on the rate of
progress in workouts. Serfustini
boasts a typical UB squad which
again could be classed as the shortest,
overall, in the cage nation. As predicted, the Bulls will stress ball-handling and blazing speed to overcome
the lack of height.
The Bulls are optimistic in appraising the schedule (see back cover)

Freshman

■*—The exciting 1960 football season is over leaving behind pleasant memories.
One is Suzanne Cofran, an 18-year old beauty who comes to the

University from Williamsville, New York.
This year's Homecoming Queen is a freshman in University College who
plans to major in early childhood education, teaching the deaf and blind being
her particular goal. Besides her studies (she was an honor student in
high school), Sue likes sports like field hockey, swimming and ping pong,
and enjoys playing the piano.

�Supplement 11
The University of Buffalo
Alumni Bulletin

A DEADLINE SPECIAL REPORT TO THE ALUMNI:
As you know, the recommendations of the recently released Heald Report
offer challenging proposals for the future of higher education in New York.
For this reason, we thought you might like to have a capsule report of developments at the mailing deadline of the Alumni Bulletin. Later issues will keep you
posted on developments. Certainly, if any one group should be vitally interested and completely informed on the ultimate future of ÜB, it is the loyal alumni
who have so generously supported the University.

We sincerely hope that what is read

or

rumored is not interpreted in any way

other than that all explorations of the matter of the Heald Report are being
studied. For your immediate perusal, we are reprinting an article from the

New York Times of December 4, which tells the story as it is today. We refer
you especially to paragraph two.

Obviously, changes of this magnitude

cannot be effected

in

a

short time, and

quite frankly, during this time, as in the past, UB needs the generous and enthusiastic support of all Alumni. We earnestly ask that you continue in your same

spirit of loyalty to assist the University through the annual Alumni Fund, the
Funds, and the Development Funds, and in whatever way you can.

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

"If the University is to
continue to meet its responsias a large multiinstitution, it must
extend its influence and
activity into the national
and world community."

bilities

—Clifford C. Furnas

MODERN URBAN university must, by definition and by necessity, be a vital, moving dynamic
contributor to, and leader of, the community in
which it lives. And it must live in the community, rather
than merely be situated there.
But what is the community of the modern university,
or more specifically what is the community of the University of Buffalo?
Chancellor Furnas answers this question in his recent
AnnualReport to the University Council. "Even though
the University is a private institution in that itdoes not
receive tax-support, it has fulfilled in Western New York
the role of amajor State University, providing broadeducational opportunity for young and old, and offering
graduate and professional education of significant magnitude and extent.
"In one recent year, which is typical, all the judges of
the City Court of Buffalo and of the County Court of
Erie County, and the majority of the judges of the Supreme Court of the Judicial District of New York State
were alumni of the University. As of January 1958, the
University had trained 85 per cent of all pharmacists in

THE

�New York State west of Syracuse, 61.2 per cent of all the
Physicians in Erie County, 61.3 per cent of all lawyers
practicing in Erie County, and 83.2 per cent of all dentists in the Eighth Judicial District. The University, its
graduates and its faculty play a uniquely important and
ever-increasing role in the scientific, cultural, business
and industrial life of the region."
But, the Chancellor notes, "The Niagara Frontier is an
intellectual frontier bordering on today's closely knit and
sensitively interactive world community. It is not and
cannot be an entity unto itself.
"If the University is to continue to meet its responsibilitiesas a large-multi-purpose institution,it must extend
its influence and activity into the national and world

and practices, fresh and provocative. Recognition will be
multiplied and the quest for truth and knowledge will be
enriched and more efficiently pursued.
"Evidences of this abound everywhere—from the
campus buildings which house the increased enrollments
to the great strides inresearch which may ultimately have
a bearing on all mankind.
"Truly, the University is experiencing unprecedented
growth as it continues to realize its great potential and
the great need to serve in the field of higher learning.

"The challenge of higher education has never been
and obviously there is much to be accomplished
in the next decade," the Chancellor warns. "It will take
continued cooperation, generous investment, and appreciation on the part of all those who believe in broadening
our horizons, for the University of Buffalo to provide the
very best educational service to the Niagara Frontier,
the State of New York, the nation and theworld."

Meeting state education demands
Somewhere in your memory, your neighborhood, or
even in your nursery, there may be a little youngster who
deserves and ought to have the privilege of earning a
quality college degree.
Because of the post-war bulge in the nation's birthrate more and more of our youth are and will be going to
college in the next decade.
In New York State alone, enrollments are expected to
increase 61 per cent in six years, double by 1970, and
triple by 1985. Compared to the 1959 figure of 401,000,
this tripling would mean that some 1,270,000 young men
and women would be of college age. {continued on page 2)

Besides this, there will be an increase in the proportion
of young people graduating from high school, the percentage of high school graduates going to college fulltime and the number of part-time enrollments. It is for
these reasons that fourteen months ago Governor Rockefeller appointed a Committee on Higher Education to
review the needs and resources of New York State in
higher education. The Heald Report was the outcome
of this Committee composed of Dr. Henry T. Heald.
chairman, president of the Ford Foundation, Dr. John
W. Gardner, president of the Carnegie Corporation, and
Marion B. Folsom. former U. S. Secretary of Health,
Education and Welfare.

Heald committee proposals
In essence, here are the most significant recommendations of the Heald Report designed to put New York
colleges and universities in the forefront of the nation's
fight to meet the demands of higher education.
These major proposals are being closely studied by the
Governor, legislators, educators across the state and
other officials responsible for the state's college programs:
I—That two new public universities—"designed to
stand with the finest in the country" be established. One
would be at an existing site at Stony Brook. L.1.. and the
other upstate.
2—That eight or nine of the state's eleven colleges of
education be converted into liberal arts colleges.
3—That the state act to strengthen private colleges. The
first grant would be 510.000.000for all private institutions
in the state starting in 1961-62. (The allocation of these
funds would be based upon certain amounts per degree
granted each year and varying with the type of degree.
For example the University would receive S2OOO for each
medical and dental degree granted. SIOOO for each other
doctoral degree. S3OO for each Master's degree, and SlOO
for each Bachelor's degree).
4—That two-year community colleges be built near
population centers to accommodate about 100.000 students by 1985. The report noted that 20&lt;7-25'7 of the
schools would be located within commuting distance of
Albany. Buffalo. Rochester and Syracuse.
s—Tha—
t5 That all units of the State University charge a
uniform 5303 tuition and fees.
If the Heald Report is implemented (and it probably
will be to a substantial degree) there is no doubt that it
will have a major impact on the pattern of higher education in New York in general and on the University of
Buffalo in particular.
For example, the proposal, which states that one large
multi-purpose university be located upstate, is of vital
concern. It would be very difficult for the University to
maintain its necessary large undergraduate body if one

or more units of the State University, with a $300 tuition,
were to be located at Buffalo State, or at Erie County
Tech, or elsewhere in the region. This would mean that
unless much greater private funds were made available
than has been the case in the past there would not be
sufficient funds for buildings andfacilities, attracting outstanding scholars to build an ever better faculty, or to
even retain the present faculty.

Some differences of opinion
Late in January, almost six weeks after the Heald Rethe Board of Trustees of the State
University revealed full details of its $585,000,000 ten
year master plan for expanding higher education. Unlike
the Heald Report it singled out Buffalo as one of the key
expansion areas, and thefollowing differences were noted
in recommendations:
The Heald Committee recommended two graduate
centers and the State University four.

residences are a sharp contrast to Hayes Hall. Ella

The State University felt that only two of the colleges
of education could be converted immediately to liberal
arts but the other nine could convert only in the junior
and senior years at first. The Heald group asked for a
speedier plan.
"If these schools (elementary and secondary) are to be
supplied with adequate teaching staffs," the trustees said,
"the present facilities of the colleges of education must
continue to be largely devoted to the education of
teachers."
However, all nine colleges of education would be able
to accept graduates of the two-year colleges from the
beginning under the trustees' plan.
master plan
The Trustees did not enter the field of aid to private
colleges. The State University trustees, headed by Frank
C. Moore of Buffalo, made these proposals:
I. That one offour graduate centers be located in Buf-

Trustees'

falo. The plan neither specifies nor leaves out the possibility that the University of Buffalo be converted to a
public institution.
2. That the College of Education at Buffalo be "immediately" expanded into a multi-purpose undergraduate
school embracing liberal arts and sciences, as well as
teachers education. (It would be thefirst of the two—the
other would be Albany—of 11 such colleges to make the
transition. The other nine would change to liberal arts
only at the junior-senior level).
3. That Erie County Technical Institute, a two-year
community college, consider the possibility of establishing branch facilities within the county under the supervision of its present Board of Trustees.
The expansion cost for capital expenditures set at
$585,000,000 includes $353,000,000 through 1965 and
$232,000,000 for use by 1970, which breaks down this
way: Colleges of education, $77,000,000; medical colleges, $5,500,000; four-year and professional colleges,
$67,500,000; agricultural and technical institutes,
$12,000,000; community colleges (state's share only),
$70,000,000.
In addition, the master plan estimates that instructional
costs, including the expansion proposals, will increase
from about $40,000,000 now to an estimated $155,747,000
by 1970.
However, for this plan to become effective, the State
Board of Regents and the Governor will have to approve
it. Regents Chancellor John F. Brosman has indicated
that the board has already begun consideration of the
plan.

Regents recommendations
At the same time the Regents recommended to the
Legislature a $32,000,000 program of state grants to
undergraduate students in public and private colleges in
the state, and a $8,400,000 graduate-aid program. If
adopted, the programs would become effective this September for two-year and four-year colleges.
Under the undergraduate program, grants of $200 per
student would be handled on the same basis as the existing Regents' scholarship program and therefore, in the
case of church-operated schools, presumably would not
conflict with the State Constitution. Only students who
were legal residents of the state would be eligible for the
grants to be used solely for tuition.
Graduate students would be eligible for tuition grants.
After successful completion of a semester's work, they
would apply for the "tuition awards" and a voucher
would be issued by the state. ($4OO is suggested as the
award to be paid to students up to the master's degree
level, and for students in graduate work above the master's degree $800 is recommended). The public colleges
which charge tuition would simply credit thevouchers to
the amounts already allocated for each student, estimated
at from $700 to $900 annually, and there would be no
actual cash outlay.

These are the arched Georgian windows on the ground

center ofstudy and research at the University. The

modern poetry collection which was founded by the late
Director Emeritus Charles D. Abbott has become
famous. (Dr. Abbott died Feb. 3—A tribute will appear in the
April issue of the Bulletin.)

But, Chancellor Furnas points out, "even with these
tuition supplements, which would totalabout $1,500,000,
the University could not survive as a private institution.
The cost of educating each student is so high that closer
to $5,000,000 per year would be needed in the near future.

Cornell AeronauticalLaboratory has 1,000 engineers and
technicians engaged in 176 projects supported by $15
million in contracts. Other than projects in aeronautics
and related fields, CAL is now spending $300,000 annually for internal research. Westinghouse, Linde Company, a division of Union Carbide, Worthington, Sylvania, Bell Aircraft, Allied Chemical Corporation's National Aniline Division, Carborundum, Dupont, Spencer
Kellogg—these and many others are investing heavily
with time,talent and money to promote research activities.

'Upstate' site is Buffalo
There are very good reasons why some people think
that the University of Buffalo is being considered as the
sice of the "upstate" university. The City of Buffalo is
known as the keystone city of upstate. It is an area easily
accessible, and in close proximity to, the entire upstate
region, both in terms of time and distance. Six and onehalf million persons reside in upstate New York, and
Buffalo is their largest city and the second largest in the
State, ranking behind New York City.
Here are to be found the majority of the hospitals, research laboratories, industries, commercial, financial and
service organizations requiring skills, energies, and resources of the University-educated. These, in turn, contribute facilities for practical training, personnel for advisement, consultation, and part-time teaching, and laboratories for extension and reinforcement of research
activities.
Over 115 research laboratories are engaged in diversified work for the area and the nation. At Hooker Chemical
Corporation, 200 people, housed in a new $3,500,000
building, are working on chemical and plastics research.

The University of Buffalo significantly aids research in

For example, in the field of nucleonics, the Western New
York Nuclear Research Center, when it is completed in
the spring, will be able to offer high intensity radiation
for experimental purposes to local industries. In addition,
by the nature of its fissionable fuel elements (uranium

medicine, industry and agriculture.
One of the applications for high intensity radiation is
the destruction of living tissue, making it invaluable in
medicine. Consequently, the new Center will work in

AMERICAN higher education is successfully to meet the demands of our society and fulfill its obligations to the youth of
tomorrow, the best thinking, interest and support of all citizens
are needed to devise new and more effective means of organization,
operation, and financial support. Ways must be found to provide
education for excellence and the means must be found to render
this possible. Because much of our nation's future depends on the
success of this endeavor, the problem is not the concern of a select
few in state or federal government, nor is it the responsibility of a
handful of wealthy individuals. The concern and the responsibility
are everyone's.
At this writing, officialsof the University ofBuffalo and the State
University of New York are considering whether or not a merger is
the most effective means of meeting the challenging demands of
Upstate New York for a low-cost multi-purpose center of higher
education. Also under advisement are the methods by which such
a merger might be effected, particularly in terms of financial resources and physical plant
*Dr. Cale is vice-chancellorfor planning and development.

IF

No one at this moment can predict the outcome of these discussions.
However, it is strategic to emphasize that even if the University
of Buffalo becomes a part of the state system, the cooperation and
assistance of those manyconstituencies which have provided support
for the University in its march of educational progress to date will
still be vital, if true eminence is to be achieved.
Many distinguished publicly-supported institutions in America
enjoy well-merited support from business and industry, alumni,
philanthropists, and foundations. For these institutions and their
constituents, there are no clearly defined lines of public vs. private
financial support. Although tax monies provide a basis for operations, outside funds are necessary to provide the "extras" in areas
where state support may not be available.
The duality of support necessary for the best-possible system of
higher education is underscored in a statement of the American
Council on Education. Pointing out that "the times call for a
greater investment in higher education as a whole," the Council
has stated:
"Private institutions no less than public institutions are by their
charters dedicated to the public service. Private institutions receive
direct or indirect benefits from tax-supported programs of student
aid; many receive state and federal grants for research and other
purposes. Most public institutions have income from students'' fees
and individual donations; many receive substantial contributionsfrom
business and philanthropic foundations
"The crucial issue is not how many dollars come from private
sources and how manyfrom public sources, but whether or not the
total of these dollars will be sufficient to meet the challenges colleges
and universities face."
Implementation of a non-profit, independent foundation to
solicit, receive and administer funds from sources outside state

�appropriations is a common feaiure of puHidy-sijpported universities throughout the United States. In man&gt; cases, individual
foundations have been established either within the framework or
a puMich-supported institution or ancular&gt; to it. 10 carefullycultivate private revenue sources for the public interest.
A survey of these foundations reveals an interesting and often
overlooked pattern of private support for public msrjrutions. and
provides an insight into how such a pattern of continued private
support might be organized and administered for tbe University of
Buffalo as a member of the State University system.

Private funds for routine support
The oldest independent, but affiliated, foundation designed to
aid a state institution through use of private resources is the Kansas
University Endowment Association, incorporated in 1893. At that
time, the Kansas State Constitution required all gifts to the University to be turned over to the State Treasurer by whose authority
such assets were invested and the income used to pay University
expenses. Thus, private support was not used topromote "over and
above" and increase excellence, but went directly into routine support, relieving the Legislature of total dependence on tax funds to
support the school.
The Association, a non-profit educational corporation, was
formed to receive funds and property, and to dispense such capital
as its governing body considered necessary and appropriate for the
good of the University. The governing body, or Board, is comprised
of 50 trustees, all alumni, who are elected for life by the group
itself. While, there are no regulations prohibiting election of nonalumni, this rarely occurs. The President of the University, the
Governor of the State, the Chief Justiceof the State Supreme Court.
and the President of the Alumni Association serve as ex-officio
members of the Board.
An executive committee of nine members, re-elected annually,
directs the month by month activities of the Association. Members
of this executive group include the four officers of the Association,
four elected members and the President of the University. Actual
administration of the Association is in the hands of an Executive
Secretary and a staff of 15, including clerical assistants.
The Association acts as a real estate agent for the University,
constructs buildings (35 to date), operates a number of buildings,
directs scholarship and student loan plans, and sponsors research.
In Kansas City, for example, the Association leases an old medical
building from the University for SI.OO per year, and sponsors a
multi-million dollar research project on the Salk vaccine with the
aid offunds from the National Institutes of Health.
The Executive Secretary of the Association is one of six members
of the University Planning Council, in addition to being a regular
member ofat least fifteen other University committees. In operation,
he states, it is difficult to distinguish the Association from any other
division of the University. Only on paper, when the gifts are being
received, is the distinction necessary.
This policy of broad and substantial underpinning of University
activities has been adopted by the Universities of Oklahoma and
Nebraska which has established similar organizations.

Foundation collects private monies
A slightly different organizational pattern exists at Indiana University where a board of fifteen members—three selected by the
University's Board of Trustees and thus representing state government, six elected by Alumni, five elected by the Foundation's

8

Board, and the President of the University—has power to own and
receive property, collect funds, and conveyboth funds and property
to the University at its discretion.
The Indiana Foundation is administered by an Executive Director
and a staff of ten. Located in the Indiana Union immediately adjacent to the Alumni Office, the organization directs alumni annual
giving, and solicits foundations and industry. The Foundation has
significantly aided the University by subsidizing salaries, furnishing
classrooms and laboratories, and contributing toward cost of construction of certain facilities.
Research at Indiana, is currently administered by the separate
Indiana Research Foundation; however, legal arrangements are
underway to consolidate the two.
Similar to the Indiana Foundation in organization and operation
is the University of lowa Foundation organized in 1957. For many
years, the University of lowa operated entirely on funds appropriated by the State, although isolated private gifts to persons on the
faculty and administrative staff were sometimes used for the University's ends. According to its Director, this Foundation is still in
the formative stage. Alumni giving is currently being developed,
and foundation and industrial solicitation encouraged.
The lowa Foundation is presided over by an eleven man board
including the University's President. Make-up of the board is national in scope, and members are elected by virtue of capability and
interest. Ifany trustees of the University are on the board, they have
been so placed because of these considerations, not because of
administrative affiliation.
Traces of the Indiana pattern may also be found at Ohio State
University and at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
At Ohio State, fund raising and private fund-handlingfor many
activities are handled through the Alumni organization, under the
administration of an official known as Executive Director of the
Fund, who is also the Secretary of the Alumni Association. There
exists a separate research foundation which solicits government
funds for research. The Alumni Organization grants funds and
property to the University in a manner similar to the Indiana
Foundation.

A comparable operation at Georgia Tech

is distinguished by the
its 24-man board is composed solely of alumni. Not even
the President of the institution is a member.
Purdue University enjoys the support of four independent foundations in addition to the Alumni Association which directs annual
giving. Each is designed to assist the University with the use of
privately solicited funds.
The Purdue Research Foundation has as its objective sponsorshipof research and promotion of graduate work. Administered by
a 12-member board, including the President and Treasurer of the
University and 10 self-perpetuating members, this Foundation
stimulates graduate work in areas other than technology and agriculture which are the essential interests of the University. The
Ross-Ade Foundation is primarily interested in intercollegiate athletics and has underwritten construction of a new football stadium.
Provisions of housing, principally for graduate students and faculty,
is the purpose of the third organization, the Calumet Development
Foundation, while the Purdue Aeronautics Corporation underwrites research and other activities in the Aeronautical School.
Of the four Purdue foundations, the Research Foundation, established in 1930, is considered principal. Of 95 Ph.D. degrees granted
by Purdue in 1959, 85 were received by individuals working on
programs sponsored by this Foundation.
fact that

�Administrators handle funds
A different, but familiar, approach is taken by some State Universities enjoying "constitutional status." Examples of these are the
University of Michigan and Michigan State University which exist
by authorization of the Constitution of the State of Michigan.
Their Alumni and Development Offices solicit and collect funds
similarly to private schools.
The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas (Texas A &amp; M)
has, along with the University of Texas, constitutional status to
solicit and receive private funds and property. Here again, the Development Office of the College handles fund-raising activities in a
manner similar to privately supported schools. In addition, however, the Texas A &amp; M Foundation, a small organization with current assets under $250,000, has been established, to provide for
donors with objections to contributing directly to a state supported
school. This Foundation is administered by a board of 5 trustees
three elected by the alumni and two by the Board of Special Gifts
and Bequests which is in turn composed of three administrative
officials, three faculty members, and six members elected alumni.

—

The University of Minnesota also enjoys constitutional status,
and solicits private support through several foundations. Considered most important are the Institute of Technology which solicits
funds for research, sponsors graduate work and underwrites professorships, and the Medical Fundwhich solicits funds in a manner
similar to the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education at
the University of Buffalo.
The University of Houston, a privately-supported institution that
recently concluded negotiations to "go state," took immediate
action to create a Foundation to handle existing endowment and
seek private funds in the future. Organized in July 1960, this organization is administered by a five-man board. At the moment it
is not known whether any of the charter Board appointees will be
named to the Board of the University when actual state-support
becomes effective.

"Over and above" support
Funds of the Houston Foundation are

to be

used

to augment

faculty salaries, aid the library, provide equipment for classrooms
and laboratories, endow scholarships and fellowships, finance pub-

lications and underwrite cultural and scientific programsthat distinguish a university as a recognized seat of learning—operations
"over and above" those for which state-support will be forthcoming, and specifically earmarked.
In summary, then, the Board of Trustees of these foundations
which encourage and administer complementary private funds for
publicly-supported institutions of higher learning are not controlled
by the respective states. Every effort seems to have been made to
divorce control of the foundation from state control. If any group
dominates membership on these boards it is the alumni. In some
cases, the administrator in charge of foundation activities is also
identified with University activities.
Fund raising mechanisms similar to those existing in privately
supported institutions appear at all of the Schools surveyed. Some,
like Michigan and Kansas have extensive apparatus. Ohio State has
an alumni giving-organization which would compare favorably
with the giants of the Ivy League, Dartmouth, Princeton or Yale.
That these foundations are indeed integral components of the fiscal
structures of major publicly-supported institutions of higher learning throughout the nation is readily discernible from a review cf
some recent figures concerning private support for state universities.

During 1959, the University of Indiana received $352,880 in
annual operating fund revenues from 6,600 alumni donors, an average gift of $53.47. The University of Virginia received an almost
Like amount, $351,000, from 3,725, an average gift of $94.32.
Alumni revenues received by Ohio State University totalled $321,000
with 26,261 donors contributing an average gift of $12.26. Other
alumni contributions for annual operations received during the
year by the Universities surveyed ranged from $250,000 from 12,834
donors at the University of Michigan, to $122,000 from 3,740 contributorsat the University of Minnesota. The University of Missouri
received the highest average gift, $131.85.
Ohio State University received a total annual fund gift from both
alumni and non-alumni of $1,145,472 during 1959. At least six of
the other schools surveyed, the Universities of Virginia, Nebraska,
Minnesota, Indiana, and Michigan, and lowa State, received a total
annual fund gift of more than a quarter of a million dollars.

Other kinds of giving
Alumni giving for purposes other than annual operating funds,
including bequests, capital funds, gifts in kind, etc., amounted to
more than one million dollars at each of six of the schools surveyed, ranging from $2,590,000 at the University of California
(Berkeley) to $1,067,121 at the University of Virginia.
Ten of the publicly-supported institutions surveyed reported total
voluntary support for 1959 in excess of the $2,156,266 received during the year by the University of Buffalo. Amounts ranged from
$22,822,967 at the University of California and $17,351,000 at the
University of Michigan to $4,068,647 received by Rutgers, a former
private institution now the publicly-supported State University of
New Jersey.
Reverting to the consideration that promptsthis entire discussion,
it seems appropriate to refute here the proposition, that if the University of Buffalo becomes a state-supported institution, academic
excellence will suffer. This is a total misconception. In fact, if we go
State, academic excellence will be strengthened. The blueprint for
expansion of higher education in the State calls for the establishment of two major universities "designed to stand among the
finest in the nation." The University of Buffalo as part ofthis design
would be destined to grow and advance in stature and services.
To quote again from the American Council of Education, "The
nature of the differences amongkinds of institutions can be and has
been misrepresented. For example, it is simply not true to say that
large institutions inevitably ignore the importance of the individual

student; that small institutions necessarily represent quality; that

private institutions are for the sons of the rich; that institutional
expenditures for good education are any less in a public institution
than in a private one; that one kind of American institution is

socialistic, the other n0t..."

Private and public funds needed
It is a paralleled misconception to hold that public support relieves
necessity or obligation for private gifts. Our society must provide opportunities through post-high school education for the maximum development of people with many kinds and degrees of talent.
As is evident from our survey, "in terms offinancial support, no
institution is strictly private or strictly public." There is obligation
for the state, of course. But there also exists for individuals with
understanding and means the obligation to offer that additional
support which provides the "extras" that make an excellent institution of a good one. And excellence must be ourgoal.

And its series originator, Fran Striker of nearby Arcade,

business. He left school in 1926 to become a radio announcer at WEBR. From that time he has been pounding
a typewriter, writing all kinds of radio plays, books, film
scripts and articles.
His big break camein 1931 when the director of WXYZ,

hokum of the masked rider, rustlers, killer pete, heroine
on train tracks, fight on top of box cars, Indian bad men,
two-gun bank robbers, etc. I have an idea that this type
of thing might command a large audience among the
fourteen and fifteen year-old kids, and if they are successful we might alternate themwith the Manhunters."
The rest is a matter of history, for "The Long Ranger"
became the idol of millions of teenagers and oldsters
alike. It's interesting to note, though, that Fran did not
10

think the program would be very successful. The hard
facts are that in the beginning he was receiving twelve
dollars a week for three half-hour programs. Paper and
postage cut out a quarter of that. In short, the Ranger
did not look likemuch of a career financially.
The part-owner of the radio station was sure that the
Ranger had a following, and told Fran a sponsor could
help boost his salary. To survey the audience, it was announced that a toy gun would be given to the first three
hundred people who sent in a card or letter.
That announcement was made on a Tuesday.
On Thursday, the Lone Ranger said frankly that the
guns were already exhausted. On Saturday he had to beg
the audience not to write in. When theavalanche of mail
was counted, there were 24,905 fan letters. A sponsor was
not difficult to find, and Fran moved to Detroit to write
exclusively for the station. That position lasted twentyfive years.
Besides the Long Ranger, Fran has written other radio
serials: "The Green Hornet;" "Thrills of the Secret Service;" "Ned Jordan, Secret Agent;" and shared in the
creation of "Sergeant Preston of theYukon."
He edited the script for two Lone Ranger serials and
one feature film produced by Republic Pictures, and
wrote the story for "The Green Hornet" movie.
He has written 18 juvenile books of 50,000 words for
Grosset and Dunlap's Lone Ranger series, 8 juvenile
books of 50,000 words for Grosset and Dunlap's Tom
Quest series, one adult Lone Ranger novel of 75,000
words for G. P. Putnam and Sons, the Lone Ranger
cartoon for 25-years distributed by King Features Syndicate, and television scripts for "Lone Ranger," "Sergeant Preston of the Yukon," and "Lassie."

�HANS S. FALCK* discusses:

from

ARARAT
to

IN

A WORLD in which the unusual has become the
commonplace it is nonetheless noteworthy that one of
the proudest of American achievements has been the
large scale integration of minority groups into the American social structure.
From Ararat lo Suburbia by Selig Adlerand Thomas E.
Connolly is the account of the development of the Jewish
community of Buffalo from the early days of the Nineteenth century Niagara Frontier to the middle fifties of
the present century.
Dr. Selig Adleris, of course, the distinguished historian
and Samuel P. Capen Professor of American History at
the University of Buffalo, the author of manyarticles and
a previous book The Isolationist Impulse: Its TwentiethCentury Reaction (Abelard-Schuman 1957). Perhaps not
as generally known is the fact that Dr. Adler is also considered an authority on American Jewish history and has
lectured before many groups throughout the United States
on Jewish subjects.
Dr. Thomas E. Connolly is Associate Professor of
English at the University and the author of several arti*Dr. Falck is associate professor, The School of Social Work.

cles. He isalso the editor of James Joyce's Scribbledehobble
recently published by the Northwestern University Press.
How has the Jewish community in this area developed?
What are its landmarks? What were its beginnings and
how can one best describe it now?
Professors Adler and Connolly deal with these questions throughout their four-hundred page volume. But,
by way of illustration and contrast it might be well to explain the title of the book From Ararat to Suburbia.
According to biblical account, Ararat was the name of
the mountain on which Noah landed after the deluge
which was brought on by God in punishment of mankind. But Ararat in the context of Professor Adler's and
Connolly's book refers to another Noah, namely Mordecai Manuel Noah who envisioned the establishment of
a major Jewish community on Grand Island, a few miles
from Buffalo on the Niagara River. On September 15,
1825 Mr. Noah engaged in a ceremony of dedication of
the island and a foundation stone was duly hewn on
which was inscribed in Hebrew Text the translation:
{continued on next twopages)

�from ARARAT to Suburbi -an account of the
Hear O Israel, the Lord Our God, the Lord is One

ARARAT
A City ofRefuge for the Jews
Founded by Mordecai Manuel Noah in the month of
Tizri, 5586 (Hebrew calendration) Sept. 1825 &amp; in the
50th year of American Independence.
The stone can still be viewed, as it is in the possession
of the Buffalo Historical Society.
An amusing sidelight is related by theauthors in connection with the dedication. It could not take place on
Grand Island at all because it was too difficult to cross
the Niagara River and so the dedication ceremony was
held with much public attention and celebration at Saint
Paul's Episcopal Church in Buffalo. However, in the confusion someone had forgotten to notify several hundred
persons waiting for the ceremonies opposite Grand Island
on the Buffalo side of the river of the change of place!
Although a few Jews lived in Buffalo before 1825 one
may say that this event marks the first major occurrence
in the life of the Buffalo Jewish community.
While significant, it would, however, be a mistake to
treat Noah's visionary plans as the mere unrealism of one
man. As a matter of fact, the very inscription on the stone
related this event to many centuries of previous Jewish
history as indeed it links it to the present. For the inscription refers to Noah's plan to found "ACity of Refuge
for the Jews." Many American cities have, of course, become cities of refuge and not only for Jews, as the history
of the city of Buffalo again amply demonstrates. And so,
it might be said with some justification that From Ararat
to Suburbia reveals an underlying theme, that theme being
the development of a minority group in the city of Buffalo
within the context of the American experience. At various
points of that development the aim of Jews was survival.
After the mass immigrations of 1870-1920it was "transformed" into acculturation to the more general American
society. In its 20th century manifestations the aim of the
Jews is integration with it as well as the maintenance of a
creative Jewish identity of which both the general society
as well as the Jewish group are to be beneficiaries. Illustrative of the most recent stage of this process of the development of the Jewish group in this area, is the move
of the Jewish population to the suburbs. The total Jewish
population of Erie County as of 1960has been estimated
to be 25,000 persons, or approximately 7,600 families. In
1955, when the total number of families was about 7800,
5900 families lived in the city of Buffalo proper, while
1940 lived in the suburban areas. In 1960 the approximate estimates supplied by the United Jewish Federation
of Buffalo and Erie County were that 4800 families lived
in the city of Buffalo, while 2800 families lived in the
suburban areas.

12

These two major events, Ararat and Suburbia, mark
the beginning and the end of a remarkably vivid account
of a small sub-community making up about two and one
half per cent of the total population of this area.
The Jewishpopulation of Buffalo stems from two major
European sources, Western Europe, particularly southern
Germany, and Eastern Europe, particularly Poland and
Czarist Russia. Although from the middle of the last century until the 1920'sJews came to the United States from
both centers simultaneously, the major waves of Eastern
European Jewish immigration took place from the 1870's
to the 1920's while their German brethren tended to
immigrate somewhat earlier, during the middle of the
nineteenth century. There were two more immigration
"waves" after 1920, although not nearly as large. They
consisted of German-Jewish refugees from Hitler in the
1930's and of concentration camp survivors stemming
from both East and West, after World War 11. Numerically, these groups could not compare to the millions of
European Jews who fled in vast numbers the religious
and racial oppressions that marked the nineteenth century. More restrictive U. S. immigration policies since
1920 account for part of this.
It is to the credit of theauthors that they have written
a lively narrative which is permeated by a sense of movement. There is a feeling of progression, of dynamism in
the narrative which is never lost and stands out with
particular clarity in the first half of the book. We are
taken step by step through the ever changing occupational
structure of the Jewish community, starting with those
business activities which required no, or verylittle, capital
investment (peddling) and very gradually developing into
modest business ventures of ownership. Many Jewish
people who came to Buffalo in the second half of the
last century eventually went into the soft goods and textile
business. While a few became outstanding and well-to-do
business people, most earned just enough to keep their
families fed and clothed and moderately housed. Not
until a generation or two later were the children and
grandchildren in the position of improving upon parents
in their occupational activity. Thus, they were able to
climb the American success ladder through college education and through a rise in the occupational prestige
ladder. The book makes clear the processes through
which such standing was achieved. It was literally true
that second and third generation Americans built on the
hardship, suffering and sweat of their refugee forefathers
who came to America with nothing but the clothes on
their backs. It is an inspiring and impressive story in the
truest tradition of American middle class life.
Additionally, certain other themes emerge from the
book. They are the devotion to family, the tenacity with
which the succeeding generations held on to their religion
(continued on next page)

�development of the Jewish Community in Buffalo
(although much change took place in religious thought
and expression), and the highly sustained willingness to
give to charity. Thus over the years there developed a
system of social services that speaks well of people who
themselves often were in need of financial help. A con-

comitant theme is the commitment to Jewish education
as a vital force towards the survival of an American
Jewish community.
Especially since the turn of the present century, as the
book points out, the University of Buffalo has contributed its share of outstanding citizens from among the
sons and daughters of Jewish immigrants. A number of
its graduates became outstanding citizens in the Jewish
and general community. The School of Law, the School
of Education, the School of Social Work, the School of
Medicine and the College of Arts and Sciences trained
many fine minds.And one of the most important reasons,
the authors observe, is that all through the tenure of
Chancellor Samuel P. Capen and his successors there has
never been discrimination against any minorities.
Moreover, the significance of college education for the
children of immigrants, especially for those from Eastern
Europe, goes beyond thefact that it is available without
discrimination. Perhaps a deeper meaning is to be found
in the secular nature of this education. The Jewishpeople
has been known as "the people of the book." For centuries learning has been held in highest esteem. Nonetheless, especially in Eastern Europe whence most Jewish
immigrants came, much of this interest and love was expressed primarily—though not exclusively—in religious
scholarship. Not until their American experience did
most Eastern European Jews make any significant contact with Western secular culture. But this brought with
it some serious problems and tended, in some degree at
least, to create intellectual and spiritual cleavages between the generations, old and young. Today, with
eighty per cent of American Jews native-born this is no
longer the case, and there is some evidence of a new
synthesis between secularism and religion. A new rapprochement seems to be emerging which makes it possible for the modern Jew to be both, a secular twentieth
century American and a self-respecting, informed Jew.
Of particular interest in this connection is the careful
tracing of Jewish religious institutional life undertaken
by the authors. Indeed, many of the adjustmental problems of a sub-cultural group such as the Jewish group in
the last and present century, emerge when one reviews,
as Dr. Adler and Dr. Connolly have done, the development of temples and synagogues. Aside from changes in
the circumstances of theAmerican Jew which resulted in
the gradual evolution of at least two major national religious movements (Reform and Conservative Judaism)
in addition to Orthodox Judaism, there was something
typically American about this development. In Buffalo

as elsewhere these changes took place, partially at least,
as a result of the willingness of religious institutions and
their lay leaderships to assume responsibility for the reinterpretation of traditional practice and thought. This
is a democratic act. Thus we read in detailhow thevarious
temples and synagogues came into being, why they are
what they are today, and how they function. Outstanding
is the fact that, whateverwas changed or retained inrelation to the Jewish tradition, the decisions were made by
the congregations themselves. They agreed or disagreed
with the views of their rabbis over the generations, but in
almost every case, the final decisions were those of the
congregations. Thus, the conflicts that beset many, if not
all of the Jewish religious institutions in Buffalo, are
more than just that. They emerge, when seen in some
historical perspective, as part of the democratic process
which encourages diversity of thought, which is never
easy when truly engaged in, but which is the price that
must be paid for religious progress and for the exercise
of the right to self-determination inreligion as elsewhere.
What has been said here applies also to the development of social services in the Jewish community of
Buffalo. The transition from self-help to professional
social work represents once again much trial and experimentation. The early days of the Buffalo Jewish community saw the emergence of charitable organizations
formed by immigrants coming from the same district or
sometimes cities and towns. These served admirably in
their time. With the changes in the community and in the
whole general tenor of American life, the need gradually
arose to treat social problems on a more communitywide and coordinated basis. With this development,
there emerged the community-wide social agencies under
Jewish auspices and under professional guidance. For a
people accustomed to help each other in response to
human sympathy and religious precept, such formalization and institutionalizationseemed cold and remote and
too impersonal. And yet, the transition to the professional Jewish social agency was made, and one might
say in retrospect, this was for the good. Yet, for at least
some people the old order gave more personal satisfaction to the giver and it seems understandable that he
relinquished direct giving and personal charity with some

reluctance.
An outstanding quality of thiswork is in thefact that it
discusses human beings as well as abstract thoughts and
ideas. Professors Adlerand Connolly identify well over
nine-hundred names (by actual count), most of which are
those of persons who resided hereand manyof whom still
reside in the Buffalo area. The annotation reveals that in
practically every case documentation was used. This is
cited as illustrative of the painstaking and carefulresearch
(continued on page 16)
that underlies this work.

The University of Buffalo, long an unknown among the small-college teams of the
nation, has come a long way since 1955when
Chancellor Furnas' famous five-year plan
of athletic development was initiated. In
1958 and 1959 the Bulls finished first and
second, respectively, in the race for the
Lambert Cup, symbol of the Eastern small-

college championship.
This year the team faced four majorcollege opponents. One more major opponent in those ten games would have placed
the Bulls in the major-power class by reason
of opposition. Pausing for breath at this
writing, the athletic officials face many
problems, least of which is the scheduling
operation. Likewise, many alumni and fans
facea much more important decision. Where
do we go from here? Obviously, the answer
is: We go on! How do we go on? Obviously,

GORDIE BUKATY, hero of many a
University of Buffalo victory in the
last three years, is weighing two pro
football offers—one from the Buffalo
Bills of the American Football League,
and another from the Hamilton Tiger
Cats of the Canadian Big Four. He
says, "I'd like to give pro ball a try,"
but adds he will probably not make a
decision until Spring.

Buffalo's season standing could well be
described as determined by the odd bounce
of the football with the VMI, Colgate and
Connecticut games hinging onone key play

the answer is: It's up to you! For more years
than we care to recall the North-Main
rallying cry was, "Give us good football
and we'll back it." Well, 1960fans saw good
football and they backed it as never before.
A total of 57,112 fans witnessed the home
contests and 42,400 attended the away
games. Five home games set a new presentday record for ÜB.
Next year the Bulls have carded nine
games: Sept. 16, Gettysburg, Home; Sept.
23, Boston University, Away; Sept. 30,
Delaware, Away; Oct. 7, Holy Cross, Home;
Oct. 14, Villanova, Away; Oct. 21, Temple,

Truly, this is the most rugged and balanced schedule, over-all, that has ever confronted a UB eleven.
The cost of bringing in the calibre of
teams to be faced is monumental compared
to the cost encountered just a few short
years ago. Therefore, now is the time for
the alumni and friends of the University to
showthey mean business. Paid season tickets
now number 2,000 with more revenue paid
in than ever before from this one source.
4,000 are needed
The plain, cold fact is

Morley Townsend, chairman of Alumni
Weekend, 1961 made the following recommendations which were approved by the
group: Weekend activities should be centered on the campus, the dinner to be held
in Norton Union, Friday, June 9—the dance
to be held either in the Tower or Norton,
June 10. The dance this year will be a part
of the Alumni committee, instead of the
Alumnae Association and will feature a
good orchestra.
The Tunk for new alumni (the 1961 graduating class) will be held again behind Hayes
Tower. It was felt that the location is an
ideal one.
This year for the first time reunions will
be held during this weekend for the following classes: 1911, 1936 and 1951. It is hoped
that this addition to the Weekend will be a
successful endeavor and help increase the
number in attendance at the various events.

Attending from the University were: Dr.

FROM ARARAT To Suburbia
(continued from page II)
As a lay reader, that is as a non-historian,
one must rely upon the decisions arrived at

by scholars as to what such a work should
include and what it should omit. A variety
of scholars can therefore be expected to
arrive at different judgments onso complex
a subject as the one treated in this book.
This, one might suspect, is in the nature of
history writing. Yet, this reader would predict withsome degree of confidence that for
its readability, for its style, its meticulous
thoroughness, for its clarity and balance in
letting the data speak for themselves, the
book will be known as one of the finest of
its kind by two eminent University of Buffalo scholars.

Memorial Institute on cancer research. Moreover, research on campus will be greatly extended in the fields of
chemistry, biology, medicine and engineering through
the addition of the new facility.
When research is being carried on extensively, libraries
must be close at hand. Metropolitan Buffalo is served by
forty-nine libraries, including the Erie County Public
Library (1,324,799 volumes) and the GrosvenorReference
Library (493,390). At the University, the Libraries comprise five major units: four of them on the main campus;
the other in downtown Buffalo at the Law School. The
total collection numbers approximately 350,000 volumes.
Lockwood Memorial Library, center of the system, contains more than 200,000 volumes on a wide variety of
subjects.

In addition to research and library services, the University offers to the State a fully-equipped modern multipurpose institution with an extensive physical plant, a
beautiful urban campus with room for expansion, a
moderate endowment, and a professionally competent
faculty and administrative staff. Furthermore, it can offer
a greater intangible asset: a University family dedicated
to the concepts of academic freedom.
It is clear that the heritage and duty of the University of
Buffalo is to provide the best possible higher education
for its constituency, particularly in Western New York.
With the changing pattern it is necessary to explore all
possible ways to acquire thefinancial support not only to
maintain but to improve our stature. In so far as we have
a choice we must endeavor to select the wisest course.

Remaining a private institution
Realizing this obligation the University Council, at its
meeting on November 28, 1960,appointed a special committee to study all the alternatives and possibilities of developing the bestfuture program for the University.
There appear to be but two choices: Remain private
and urge all alumni and friends to do even more in the
future for the University, or consider becoming part of

the state program.
We hesitate to blow our own horn, but maybe
you've noticed it too. At the recent American
Alumni Council District 11 Conference in Atlantic
City the Bulletinreceived an honor. Time-Life Publications' annually presents an achievement award
for the most improvement in alumni magazines.
Our own University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin
was among the five runner-ups in the contest this
year. Naturally we're proud and hope you are also.
Please write and give us any suggestions you might
have to help us in the future.

To remain private would mean that the University
would have to expand and be developed even more that
it has in the past. The Chancellor has indicated that four
principal steps would have to be taken:
I—Expand dormitory capacity from the present 1600
to 5000. "This would attract students and enable us to
maintain our undergraduate enrollment at a workable
level. In addition, a number of apartment residences
should be constructed for married students and new
instructors."
2—Obtain capital funds of at least $50,000,000. Half
of this, he said, would beallocated to new construction of
academic buildings and $25,000,000 would go to endowment. "A portion of the amount might go to immediate
strengthening of some of our academic areas."
3—Acquire additional land for such a building program.

4—Get contributions from alumni, participating funds,
industry, etc. for operating deficits in excess of $1,000,000
a year. However, the Chancellor further notes: "This
program would have to be developed as quickly as possible. But even with major efforts on the part of all concerned, it would probably require ten years."
He also points out that for the University to "perform
its task properly, still other support would be required."
Such other support includes grants from the state for
operating purposes, as recommended by the Heald Report; federal aid; and increased giving from majorfoun-

dations.
The Heald Report suggests that the subsidy formula be
"an aggregate payment not in excess of 10 per cent of
teaching expenditures." Itfurther adds that "the program
could be started in 1961-62ifdesired with an expenditure
of $10 million (which is approximately 6 per cent of
teaching expenditures in private colleges and universities)."

But, the Chancellor adds, "the support recommended
by the Report, to date, would not be sufficient to be of
material help in the University. While it is true that small
liberal arts colleges like Colgate would benefit from such
support, the University's greatest cost is its graduate students, especially in medical school. The grant would have
to be several times greater than that currently proposed
for our needs to be met. As a matter of policy the State
University is unalterably opposed to extending the contract-college pattern which is being used to support four
of the colleges at Cornell University. Hence, this does not
appear to be a hopeful solution."

Becoming a state university
On the other side of the coin are the advantages of becoming the "Upstate" State University of New York,
among them:
1. The University would be supported primarily but
not exclusively by the state. Of course gifts from industry,
friends, and alumni need to be continued. A state univerContinuedon back cover

sity here just likethe great state universities of Michigan,
Indiana, and California, would need additional funds to
enrich its programs or to do those things which the state
is unable to do, but which are needed. Essentially, however, the burden ofmaking ends meet would be materially

solved.
2. Another advantage is that more and more students
of this area would be able to obtain higher education
from an outstanding institution with a long tradition of
scholarly activity, at a low cost.
3. Academic standards might rise even higher than at
present. This would be especially true if other area colleges were to become liberal arts schools and the University were to place major emphasis on graduate studies.

Council favors "going state"
Two days after the State University master-plan was
released, a special meeting of the Council was called and
the president of the State University, Dr. Thomas H.
Hamilton, discussed in detail the problems to befaced in
the proposed merger of the University with the state.
By unanimousaction of the Council, the recommendation of an interim committee headed by Lewis G. Harriman, was approved, "to negotiate with the leaders of the
State University of New York on the possibility and with
the intention, that the university become a part of that
system, if the necessary arrangements can be resolved to
the satisfaction of both the State University of New York

and the University Council."
The resolution provided that the mutuality of agreement must include these provisions:
"I—To protect the University of Buffalo's program of
maintaining and improving its status as an institution of
higher learning of the first rank.
"2—To attract and retain students, teachers and other
personnel necessary to maintain such a program.
"3—To maintain the University of Buffalo as an outstanding contribution to the welfare and prestige of the
community which it currently serves."
During the Council session, Dr. Hamilton answered
many questions as to the way inwhich the university and
its 14 professional schools and divisions would operate as
part of the state system.
Some of these were directed to the status of faculty
members. It was explained that these would not be subject to civil service, and could retain their present relationships to the university.

Governor presents his program
In his message to the Legislature recently, Governor
Rockefeller spelled out the higher-education program

"awards" to graduate students as recommended by the
Board of Regents.
2. DoubUng of Regents' scholarships from 5% of the
1961 high-school graduatingclass to 10%,adding nursing
scholarships and merging the special engineering scholarship program with that of the Regents.
3. Establishment of two comprehensive graduate centers, one at Stony Brook, L.1., and the other upstate at
the cost of $4,500,000 for the fiscal year.
Other provisions include: Expansion of the student
loan program, request of voter approval for dormitory
bonds; broadening liberal arts in colleges of education;
continued development of the two-year colleges, comprehensive plan for the use of televisionin higher education,
fuller use of facilities in state colleges and universities
through tri-semester plan or four quarter system, development of a plan to dealwith the problems of medicaleducation and improved management in public and private
colleges.

Decision still pending
The recommendation affecting the University directly
is that dealing with the establishment of the two graduate
centers. Pending negotiations, we may become the "upstate" University. There is strong support for the conversion. However, to date, the complicated legal and
financial questions relating to endowments and similar
matters still have to be explored.
Both the State and the University have recognized that
there is an urgency to get the matter settled, so that
should the University remain private it can continue to
solicit the funds it needs for operations and development,
or if it becomes public the necessary action can be taken
by the State trustees, the Board of Regents and the
Legislature. (These are the facts, as the Bulletin goes to
press. Any other decisions which are madewill be carried
in the AprilBulletin).
The University of Buffalo completes 115 years as a
privately-controlled institution May 11. It had its beginnings in 1846, when Buffalo was only fourteen years old
and had a population of 28,000. Over the years the University has maintained a sure, steady rate of growth. Today there are thirty buildings, ranging from residence
halls to a nuclearreactor. The book value of land, buildings and equipment was $31,176,855 last June 30. The
enrollment of the first class in the Medical School in 1847
was 72, of whom 17 were graduated that year. Last June's
graduating class numbered 865. The current enrollment
is 12,592, ofwhom 7,494 are regular full-time day students.
More than 1500 of these live in residence halls on the
campus. It's clear that the University has touched the life
of nearly every citizen of Buffalo as evidenced in the excerpts from the Chancellor's Report (see page 1). Whatever the future holds, the University will continue to
K'oaden its educational opportunities for the profit of

UB students are apathetic towards national issues.
For example there were no sit-downs here. But we'renot

hadit pretty nice, we've always been so secure.

abe the characteristics of students today at the University of Buffalo? Do they
have the same interests, conflicts, likes and
dislikes we had when we were in college?
Over three million students presently attend college
in the United States. As of now, more than a third of
all college youth of college age are in some institution
of higher learning. In a very few years, thatwill be true
of more than one-half.
Size alone enormously complicates administrative
problems. The 1960-61 freshman class (2200) represents
one of the largest in UB history and 1961-62 estimates
portend even greater numbers. Such rapidly increasing

What

enrollments make class sectioning and the individualization of instruction more difficult. Rising instructional
costs and staff shortages compound old difficulties and
create new ones. A larger and more heterogeneous student body brings new problems in advisement and
counseling, residence housing, discipline and student
activities.
W. MaxWise, in a 1958 publication, "They Comefor
the Best of Reasons," suggests that today's college students differ from their predecessors in ways that affect
their responses to college, teaching, and curriculum,
with even more substantial changes in the offing. It is
pertinent to compare UB students with the nation's
college youths to see how they differ or are similar.
One current popular impression of a college student
places him between 18-21 years of age and catalogues
him as a late adolescent to whom college is chiefly a
social activity, immersing him so completely in college
life that outside influences of the home, the community,
and the world at large are excluded. Many believe"his
intellectual interests are slight and he is a rather dull,
conforming creature without any real spark of enthusiasm or originality."
Some students on every campus fit this description
but Wise correctly points out erroneous aspects of this
stereotype. For example, only 55 per cent of all college
students in the country are in the 18-21 range, and Wise
believes the "Joe College" type of yesterday exists no
more. There is actually no "typical freshman," simply
because each individual is different.

1J ut during the recent election there was a great deal of
interest on the campus. It seems if our students are directly
affected, then they're not apathetic—like the ROTC question.
A lot of students were up in arms about that.'*

'

The University of Buffalo is still influenced today by
itsorigins as an urban institution, although the residence
hall program has grown rapidly during the past six
years. Such housing now accounts for about 1600 men
and women, approximately one-fourth of the present
day-time undergraduate student population. The full
impact on UB of residence hall students with differing
outlooks and backgrounds is still too recent to evaluate
properly. Life outside the university itself has always
been highly important to the commuting student who
quite naturally retained close home and community
ties, a factor that precluded much intimate contact
with collegiate life and activities.

Student Population Patterns
For the turn-of-the-century student, college training
opened the way to an elite world in which graduate?
were more likely to become members of a superior class,
and the emphasis was largely non-vocational. Although
documentary evidence is still lacking, many observers
note that during the past two decades a progressively
larger proportion of students has been coming from
"working class" homes and more than half of all students now in four year institutions are from lowermiddle and lower-income groups, says Wise.
The strength of the UB student body results from its
heterogeneity over the years. The student population
pattern reflected an already varied racial, social, economic, and religious make-up representative of the city
of Buffalo.
Former Dean of Students Edward S. Jones followed
up graduates of 15-25 years ago, publishing his findings
in 1956. In discussing the background of former UB
students he observed that "21 per cent of the graduates
had parents either one of whom had attended college.
In 38 per cent of the cases neither parent had gone
beyond the grades. The other 41 per cent had one or
both parents with some high school education." Different socio-economic and cultural groups have always
attended ÜB, a distinct reflection of the University's
ability to provide an opportunity for higher education
to all segments of the population represented in the area.

�Part-Time Employment

—

Quotation* by these students see Pg. SS

A married undergraduate on any university campus
before World War II was a rarity, often meriting a feature story in the local press. Yet, by 1957, 22 per cent
of all full-time college students in the United States
were married, 17 per cent of the men, four per cent of
the women, Wise notes. Close to 13per cent of UB fulltime day-students—including Law, Medicine and Dentistry—are married. Married undergraduate full-time
day students at UB with children have also increased
from four per cent in 1952-3 to six per cent in 1959-60.
UB authorities are seriously beginning to refer to the
possibility of providing married student housing, already a reality on many other college campuses.

Current Emphasis on Vocational Goals
Life plans of today's college youth place strong emphasis on security and immediatevocational goals. Thus
Wise concludes, Students will give considerable time
and thought to the kind of training best suited to reach
their occupational objective.
University of Buffalo students are no exception to
this, primarily because of the emphasis on strong academic records to gain acceptance into the professional
school of their ultimate choice. Jones explains that "a
privately endowed urban university, of rather recent
development, is particularly likely to attract people who
are vocationally minded
nearly 90 per cent of the
students entering the University of Buffalo place vocational advancement as the chief reason for college."
The "new" vocational emphasis recently pointed up by
researchers has always been normal at the University
of Buffalo, an institution that evolved from distinct and
separate schools designed to train candidatesfor specific
professional areas.
Current vocational interests are also reflected by the
increasing number of student requests for counseling.
During 1959-60 over 800 students, approximately onehalf of whom were self-referred, contacted the newly
established Student Counseling Center for assistance in
personal, academic, and vocational problems.

..

"The proportion of students earning more than half
of their college expenses has probably risen from about
20 per cent in the pre-World War II period to about 40
per cent today," explains Wise. The University of Buffalo Placement Office conducted a survey of 3000 students in February, 1960. Approximately one-third reported that they worked part-time while attending
school, men averaging 14 hours per week, women 11.
Another survey, covering a high percentage of the total
freshman class this fall, included responses from 986
male and 449 female students. Sixty-eight per cent reported that they either had a job or were interested in
part-time employment, although only 21 per cent actually had a part-time job. Seventy-two per cent worked
during the previous summer.

Community Ties
Wise notes a tendency among modern college students
to dress more like off-campus citizens, no longer seeing
themselves as a separate group or different from the
rest of society. Social activities and attitudes have taken
on a new aspect in that college students "retain closer
ties with their families and home communities, viewing
the college less than formerly as a principal focus of
attention and loyalty."
The UB student—with the possible exception of residence hall groups—has always maintained his community ties. Sometimes such ties may be too close, if

LEO C. MILLER* discusses:
of women, certain challenges
lead to frustration or bewilderment. The entire history of the higher education of
women clearly shows that women have been torn between goals, tormented and confused as to the right
road to travel.
Young women of high school and college age are
haunted by thoughts of what their destiny shall be.
They intuitively dream—and rightly so—of being the
heart of a family circle: yet. they wonder whether, once
in the circle, they might wish to escape it.
They dream of a successful career, of making excellent and even profound use of their intellectual and
professional capacities: yet they wonder if.by so doing,
they may be sacrificme love, marriage and motherhood.
While this conflict is very basic, our present day society is making the problem easier to solve—at least if
the girls know the fatts.
To suggest any longer that modern woman's place is
exclusively in the home is as unrealistic as to suggest
that a woman with a career cannot enjoy an enriching
home and family life. Somewhere between the two
seemingly antithetical extremes of married hieand professional realization is where educated women stand

CoedS Of Today

women should be educated, but to focus attention primarily on higher education as a preparation for a career.
There are perhaps few things more important than to
inculcate the necessity for career-planning in the minds
of both young high school girls and women in college.
It should be stated early that this goal is not in conflict

with the liberal arts concept.
Most colleges today stress a happy combination of
liberal and professional education, whether they admit
it or not. Host schools hold fast to the concept that
women should learn to live and to make a living, and
this philosophy is destined by necessity to spread even
more in the future.
Even,- girl interested in the pursuit of a career should
plunge deeply into traditionalliberal studies. An assessment of the best of past cultures is necessary for an
intelligent approach to present cultural challenges. Appreciation of the contemporary scene and the promise
it holds for the future is basic to successful living. A
truly liberal education provides background for this
perspective.

Complementary to liberal education is training for a
career. The career concept has reached its maturity,
and its adaptation is acclaimed by all who want to face
squarely society as it is today and as it is expected to
be tomorrow.
That more women are working and will be working—
whether young girls realize it or not—is unquestioned:
in fact, two million members (or one-third) of the fulltime labor force are women, and the percentage is on
therise. The National Manpower Council, in its volume
on Womanpourr. reveals that nine out of ten girls will
be working an average of 25 years between the late
teens and age 65. This is a startling revelation, but our

�Today there are 1,288,500 women in college; by 1970 this
figure will increase 75 per cent, and one out of every
three graduating students will be a coed. More than one third
of ÜB's entirt student body are women.

modern society provides the opportunity, the time and
the incentive for women to work, whether for selfrealization, a better standard of living, because the national economy needs their services, or for a multiplicity of other reasons. Surely, if ninety per cent of
America's young women are destined to work for a
quarter of a century, it is the obligation of American
high schools and colleges to promulgate this fact and to
pattern their programs in that direction.
One of the most resounding notes expressing the right
of women to enter higher education was based upon the
premise of their service to society. It underscores the
argument of educating women as an obligation to the
girls and the state.
In a precedent-setting decision in a case which involved alimony, a State Supreme Court ruled in the
spring of 1960 that, if a father is financially able, and if
the daughter or son is potentially college material, a
parent not only should, but must, send the offspring
to college.

The Supreme Court jurist reached this decision concerning a girl who was mentally able and wanted to go
to college, but whose divorced mother did not have
the means.
The Judge reasoned: "The importance of a college
education is being more and more recognized in matters
of commerce, society, government, and all human repreferred
lations . The college graduate is being
over those not so fortunate. No parent should subject
his worthy child to this disadvantage if he has the
financial capacity."
He further argued, "A contrary view may have been
justified in former times when the needs of the family,
and of society and government, were less exacting," but,
we are living in an age of keen comhe added, ".

In his decision, the jurist clearly pointed out the re-

sponsibility of an educated citizenry for the betterment
of the state.
A college education "is the duty which the parent
not only owes to his child, but the state as well. The
stability of our government must depend upon a wellequipped, a well-trained, and a well-educated citizenry."
One educator expresses a real need for educated
women and for the most productive use of their potentials. At mid-year University of Buffalo commencement exercises, Dr. Edward H. Litchfield, Chancellor
of the University of Pittsburgh, warned that America
must marshal the strength of her culture to assure national survival.
One of the questions he raised was this: Can we afford
the loss of our womanpower?
Dr. Litchfield pointed out that in Russia, thirty-five
per cent of the faculties in universities are women and
thirty-nine per cent of the engineering students, plus a
majority of the surgeons, are women. It seems clear that
American women are our greatest waste of human
resources.
Surely a college education far transcends the boundaries of liberaland professional or vocational education.
If colleges are to appreciate the place of woman in this
modern age and to envision her increased role in the
society of the future, then in education the modern
woman must enjoy everything that her male counterpart receives—and even more.
Women of tomorrow are destined to witness their
finest hour. In keeping with this concept, it must be the
goal of American colleges to educate young women with
sound philosophic principles, an understanding of the
democratic ideal, individual and social dignity, intellectual alertness, sound moral fibre, aesthetic appreciation, physical maturity, and professional dedication. In
this way graduates will truly be able to reach their fulfillment and to serve their society well.

frequently impressed, sometimes amazed, and often
puzzled by what they observe. But they doreact. They
react with the leveled intensity of those who carry responsibility and the knowledge that they will return to
their own countries, many to become leaders in their
homeland.
Foreign students who attend classes here all come for
the same reason, education. Some are sponsored by their
governments, others are exchange students, and many
pay their own way, but each is serious in purpose and
markedwith a noticeable dedication.
In almost every case, English is a second language, a
fact which complicates their lives in many ways. Some
of these students must study in fields where technical
language is used and examinations impose time pressures underwhich a lack of experience with the language
handicaps them. Even the problem of housing is complicated by language difficulties. Many students from
Africa and India are confronted with discriminatory
practices when they look for rooms and are sometimes
forced to live in areas distant from the campus. These
are problems they must deal with in addition to the
more common lack of geographic familiarity all newcomers face.
The structure of the educational system often poses
a peculiar barrier as many come from countries where
choice is much more limited. Here they are not only

faced with choice but with choice among short titles
accompanied by numbers and letters in a catalog which
at times is confusing even to American students.
Many don't understand the prevailing climatic conditions and bring or purchase the wrong clothes. Some
have difficulty understanding purchasing values and
pay exorbitant prices for clothing when they first arrive
in the fall only to find their purchases inappropriate for
the cold winter months. Many have been exposed to a

cordingly, only to feel out of place in the more informal
dining areas and classrooms typical of American institutions of higher education. However, these technical
problems are usually overcome and steps are currently
being taken by the International Club on our campus to
supply incoming students with more information.
It is the non-technical problems which take more time
to understand. Almost all unmarried foreign students
prefer theresident halls and want American roommates
to facilitate their understanding of "The American way
of life." The vast majority are older and have struggled
for many years to overcome considerable financial and
educationalbarriers to study in the United States. They
come from countries where higher education is an opportunity limited to very few and are consequently
amazed and have difficulty accepting theattitudes with
which manyAmerican students view their studies, their
professors and themselves.
That these students consistently report that they are
happy hereand are adjustingsuccessfully to this strange
and different environment is in part the result of the
excellent cooperation received by the Univershy from
the International Institute, World Hospitality Service,
and the citizens of the community. During each vacation period, there are many more invitations to visit
homes than there are foreign students available. Those
who do spend some time in the homes of American
families often find these contacts among their most
memorable experiences.
In contrast to many out of town American students
who claim to lose their identity when they come here,
the foreign students feel that they are representing their
countries. This tendency to consider the consequences
of their actions results in responsible behavior. These
visitors from 25 different nations (numbering 97 this
year) through their many contacts and speaking engagements in the community and their unique campus contributions, are a welcome group who offer a strong hope
for the ultimate solution of manyof the problems of the
world with which we are confronted today.

.But

there is a serious side. Today's students, many
professors say, are more accomplished than the
average of their predecessors. Perhaps this is
because there is greater competition for college entrance, nowadays, and fewer doubtful candidates get
in. Whatever the reason, the trend is important.
For civilization depends upon the transmission of
knowledge to wave upon wave of young people—and
on the way in which they receive it, master it, employ
it. add to it. If the transmission process fails, we go
back to the beginning and start over again. We are
never more than a generation away from total ignorance.

Because for a time itprovides theworld's leaders,
each generation has the power to change the course of
history. The current wave is thus exactly as important
as the one before it and the one that will come after
it. Each is crucial in its own time.

What

will the present student generation do?

What are its hopes, its dreams, its principles?
Will it build on our past, or reject it? Is it,
as is so often claimed, a generation of timid organizationpeople, born to be commanded? A patient band of
revolutionaries, waiting for a breach? Or something
in between?
No one—not even the students themselves—can
be sure, of course. One can only search for clues, as
we do in the fourteen pages that follow. Here we look
at, and listen to, college students of 1961—the people
whom higher education isall about.

fourteen young men and women pictured
above come from fourteen colleges and universities, big and little, located in all parts of the
United States. Some of their alma maters are private,
some are state or city-supported, some are related to a
church. The students1 studiesrange widely—from science
and social studies to agriculture and engineering. Outside
the classroom, their interests are similarly varied. Some
are athletes (one is Ail-American quarterback), some are
active in student government, others stick to their books.
To help prepare this report, we invited all fourteen,
as articulate representatives of virtually every type of
campus in America, to meet for a weekend of searching
discussion. The topic: themselves. The objective: to ob-

The

tain some clues as to how the college student of the
Sixties ticks.
The resulting talk—recorded by a stenographer and
presented in essence on the following pages—is a revealing portrait of young people. Most revealing—and in a
way most heartening—is the lack of unanimity which the
students displayed on virtually every topic they discussed.
As the seminar neared its close, someone asked the
group what conclusions they would reach about themselves. There was silence. Then one student spoke:
"We're all different,"he said.
He was right. That was the only proper conclusion.
Labelers, and perhaps libelers, of this generation
might take note.

�years are exciting years. They are
exciting for the participants, many of whom are on
their own for the first time in their lives—and
exciting for the onlooking adult.
But for both generations, these are frequently
painful years, as well. The students' competence,
which is considerable, gets them in dutch with their
elders as often as do their youthful blunders. That
young people ignore the adults' soundest, most heartfelt warnings is bad enough; that they so often get
away with it sometimes seems unforgivable.
Being both intelligent and well schooled, as well
as unfettered by the inhibitionsinstilled by experience,
they readily identify the errors of their .elders—and
they are not inclined to be lenient, of course. (The
one unforgivable sin is the one you yourself have
never committed.) But, lacking experience, they are
apt to commit many of the same mistakes. The wise
adult understands this: that only in this way will they
gain experience and learn tolerance—neither of which
can be conferred.

in the old mill," said one student panelist, "and your head

The mill, for the student, grinds night and day—in classrooms, in libraries, in dining halls, in dormitories, and in
scores of enterprises, organized and unorganized, classed
vaguely as "extracurricular activities." Which of theactivities
—or what combination of activities—contributes most to a
student's education? Each student must concoct the recipe for
himself. "You have to get used to living in the mill and finding

In some ways we're going to be a little rebellious.
We're going to show you what we can really do."
Today's college students are perhaps the most
thoroughly analyzed generation in our history. And
they are acutely aware of what is being written about
them. The word thatrasps their nerves most sorely is
"apathy." This is a generation, say many critics, that
plays it cool. It may be casually interested in many
things, but it is excited by none.
Is the criticism deserved? Some college students
and their professors think itis. Others blamethe times
—times without deprivation, times whose burning
issues are too colossal, too impersonal, too remote
and say that the apparent student lassitude is simply
society's lassitude in microcosm.

I say students have changed greatly in the last
J ten years and—academically, at least—for

the better. In fact, there's been such a change lately
that we may have to revise our sophomore language
course. What was new to students at that level three
years ago is now old hat to most of them.
"But I have to say something negative, too," the
professor went on. "I find students more neurotic,
more insecure, than ever before. Most of them seem
to have no goal. They're intellectually stimulated, but
they don't know where they're going. I blame the
world situation—the insecurity of everything today."

have always had, and we have the ones who are just
coasting along, who don't know why they're in school

kids are talking and worrying about the same things
theirfathers and mothers used to talk and worry about
when they were in college. The times have certainly
changed, but the basic agony —the bittersweet agony
of discovering its own truths, which every generation
has to go through —is the same as it's always been.
"Don't worry about it. Don't try to spare the
kids these pains, or tell them they'll see things differently when they're older. Let them work it out. This
is the way we become educated—and maybe even
civilized."
"I'd add only one thing," said a professor emeritus who estimates he has known 12,000 students over
the years. "It never occurred to me to worry about
students as a group or a class or a generation. I have
worried about them as individuals. They're all different. By the way: when you learn that, you've made a

�Students then and now

—By four UB professors
Vjollege

students of this generation seem to their elders to be more
serious about everything and far less apt to be stampeded into anything through a simple appeal tothe emotions. They are, quite frankly,
more mature and more realistic than the students preceding World
War 11. To some ofus who were undergraduates in the 20's and 30's,
this easily explainable attitude is at times so noticeablethai we wonder
ifthey are missing some ofthe things we think we had. As students,
Ifeel they are more satisfactory in every way; as persons they show
they knowthe world they mustface is not in good shape and that truly
educated people are needed if the grave problems of the future are
not to overwhelm them and us and their children

Ahe good students in college today are

betterthan the good students

of yesteryear. They are better-informed, more alert, more creative.

But the poor student today seems to be poorer. He is less motivated,
with more severe deficiences in subject matter preparation and study
habits. These observations may be a reflection of the great amount of
research on the superior student and the lack of research (or lack of
application of the research) on the below-average student. Many times
Ifeel sorriest for the average student. We seem to takehim for granted
and not much is done to improve his lot.
The student today emphasizes gain for the individual (himself)
above all else, whether or not the gain is also goodfor the whole group.
I believe this leads to an over-emphasis on vocation instead of real
education, on the attainment of grades rather than on learning itself.
Finally, the pattern of early marriage and working while attending
college has made many a student a "triple-threat" man to his own
fullest development. He plays three roles: spouse, wage-earner, student. He cannot be any one of these as completely as he should. The
sad commentary on this is that hedoes not realize that he is depriving
himself of thefulfillment of his real potential—
HarrietF. Montague
Professor of Mathematics

-

It would be easy to misstate the facts in answering the question,
"Have students realty changed, and how or why?" In my long period
of teaching on this campus, I have had many notable students, and
the general average has been very good indeed. At no time was there a
lack of serious students. Of course, tny subject is not required, and it
may be inferred that only really interested persons would be likely
to enroll in my classes. It seems to me that there is now At hast as
large a part of thestudent body that may be called serious as there was
in the past; and there maybe a greater general awareness ofthe importance of a good education, in the sciences and in the humanities.
I have confidence in the college youth of today
MarvinFarber
Dist. Professor ofPhilosophy

University life is vastly different from what it used to be and on
the surface college students are no longer quite the same. However
after a half century of intimate association with youth I can say
categorically that the general pattern of behavior of the current college
boy and girl is not much different than it was fifty years ago indeed
I think that it is better.
Youth is much older thanit used to be. It uses more mature judgment and better decorum. But the fires of youth have not been extinguished. We would not want it so. Enthusiasm, exuberance and
"pranksterism" exist today in the same measure that they did years
ago. They have howeverbeen brought under better control.
The wonder is that youth does as well as it does in view of the example set by its elders. Many of our time honored conventions are
ignored in every day adult life. These promiscuities put a young student's power of resistance to the severest tests. With relatively few
exceptions I think that they are making a pretty high score

�On Coming Back
T
Ahe theory and

practice of alumni reunions is a
subject in which latterly I have been getting more and
more interested. I might say that I have had my cynical
moments. When I was graduated from college, the idea
of alumni reunions was repellent. I read with a grimace
the first letter from our class secretary about getting
the old gang together again.
The legend of the alumni reunion on the American
scene had, historically, been none too savory; and I was
deeply infected. By the 1920's the satire of men like
Mencken, Sinclair Lewis and Scott Fitzgerald had fixed
it in the popular imagination, until it became a kind of
symbol of all that was hypocritical and banal—a sorry
spectacle of sentimentality, alcoholism, pretence; old
age pretending to be middle-age; middle-age pretending
to be youth; everybody pretending that he was glad to
see everybody else and that of course he remembered
everybody's name; and everybody in despair taking to
the bottle, the quickest way to overcome the general
embarrassment.
There was the pretence of "loyalty" to the old school
as the motive that brought one back—and not the
prospect of a nice trip and a bibulous weekend or an
escape from the wife and children. The typical reunion
bill-of-fare on most campuses was made up largely (on
the public side) of athletics; and for strictly inside stuff
the midnight and ghostly fraternal doings. Then there
was the inevitable and raucous class dinner, with incoherent speeches by good old Joe and good old Pete; with
songs that started bravely but seldom survived the
shouts and jeers of the more alcoholic brethren—or the
drab truth that almost everybody had forgotten the
words.
These were the barbaric days, orgiastic and wonderful in their own way. The roaring 20's had their own
kind of heroes, for whom I have no little respect. But
barbaric, in the main, and vulnerable. They weren't
even honest orgies. Certainly they had very little to do
with their academic origins and contexts. To be sure,
there were redeeming moments and islands of sanity
here and there; old friendships were renewed and even
new ones made—unexpected discoveries. But, by and
large, they were deeply, fundamentally unsatisfying,
even (I suspect) to those who drank the deepest and
shouted the loudest.
What was wrong? Why the sense that somehow it
didn't come off? Why did the alumni reunion become
the symbol of much that was hypocritical and vulgar in
American culture? What was the essence of our failure?
But enough about the abuses of the past—they are
easy to ridicule, easy to overstate. We have improved.

�A Tribute to
Charles Abbott
February 3, Charles David Abbott died, in
Rochester, NewYork, after a long illness. He
was born on November 26, 1900, in Milford,
Delaware. He was graduated from Haverford College
in 1922, and after two years of study at Columbia University, he went as a Rhodes Scholar to New College,
Oxford. In June, 1927 he received the degree Bachelor
of Letters from Oxford, and the following September he
came to the University of Buffalo as an instructor in
English. In 1929 he accepted a post at the University
of Colorado at Boulder, from which he returned to the
University of Buffalo in 1931,to resume his teaching as
Professor of English. He became Director of the University Libraries in 1934, retired from that position in 1960.
This is biography, indicating Charles Abbott's place
in the fellowship of educated men. But his contributions
to the university can in no way be measured by these
public records of his service. The extensive and varied
holdings of the Lockwood Library are proof of his diligence, his discernment in the selection of books, as the
Poetry Collection is evidence of his vision and enterprise in promoting a project in which he wholeheartedly
believed. Both represent his dedication to the dissemination and preservation of knowledge; both are indicative of his resolute and uncompromising insistence
that a library should not be merely a repository of
books, but that it should have a vital and creative function in the educational pattern of a university. Toward
this end he moved with bold and imaginative plans,
with practical efforts, and with inexhaustible patience.
The very originality of the Poetry Collection attracted
interestedattention; manuscripts were proffered, books
were purchased, its holdings grew to impressive proportions. But for Charles Abbott, no collection of archives
was sufficient in itself. He fostered, through lectures
and readings, through personal contacts and informal
gatherings, through every ingenious means at his disposal, the exchange of ideas. Poets, some then famous,
some since distinguished, and persons in other fields of
letters, came to the university. Constantly he infused
intothe academic community his own vitality, his own
conviction that learning is contemporary as well as
continuous.
What words are there in which to praise great teaching? Phaedo could say only of his masterwhen he died,
"Of all men I have known, he was the wisest, justest
and best." Dante, haltedinhis dreadful journey by the
sight of his teacher, cried out, "While I live, I will speak
of you with gratitude." Both were utterances from the
heart, yet how much is left unsaid! Charles Abbott, in

his teaching, most directly fulfilled the commitment of
his life, that men of his calling must indeed gladly learn
and gladly teach. Face to face with his students, he
gave unstintingly of his great gifts: his store of knowledge, his alert and searching mind, his masterful competency with language. His approach to the teaching of
literature combined the meticulous chronology of the
historian, the analysis and appraisal of the critic, the
sharp scrutiny of the careful craftsman, and the joy of
a man who has himself found treasure and is eager to
share its possession. In his interpretation he was always
entertaining, but never an entertainer. His attitude was
too gravely responsible for flippancy, yet he infallibly
called attention to the humor and delight intrinsic in
the material he taught. For him knowledge was exciting
and alive; he infected his students with a sense of its
immediacy. None listened to him and went away indifferent; some willfeel always his quickening influence in
their lives.
In one of the old books of the lawthere is an admonition: "All men are born to face an insurmountable task.
No one can live to complete his own, but the man who
makes a brave beginning can bring down the stars." The
brave beginning of this man was ended too soon, leaving
him with work unfinished and hopes unfulfilled. None
of us can help but mourn the productive years lost to us,
which he did not have. Yet none of us, witnesses to his
great accomplishments, canfail to see the stars which he
in very truth brought down and left to shine among us.

parents look upon the university as simply an extension
of high school and expect their sonor daughter to maintain home relationships similar to those existing during
high school. Even vocational goals differ for local students whose roots with Western New York are too deep
to cut, a consideration not affecting those from outside
this area.

life.
There are some interesting attendance figures relative
to the effect a winning football team has on one aspect
of pride in one's school. The VMI football game this
fall, for example, was attended by over 3100 students,
an all time record. Interest has risen rapidly over the
past several years, since as recently as 1954 only 300
students turned out for a UB game at Civic Stadium.

Student Activities

Faculty-Student Relationships

"Even on campuses where there is an elaborate system of student organizations and activities, studies suggest that only about one-third of the student body
participates to any extent. Interest in student groups,
clubs, even fraternities, has steadily dwindled, except
perhaps for the freshman who is trying to find his footing in this new world of college life,"Wise observes.
The University of Buffalo experienced a relatively
slow development in student activities and self-government, although UB students established voting records
during Student Senate elections last spring. This is only
the third year of a new student government constitution. A student court met for tflfe first time in university
history in February, 1959 to judge cases of their peers.
Fraternity and sorority groups on the Buffalo campus
presently represent approximately 15 per cent of the
full-time undergraduate student body, below the nationalaverage of 30 per cent affiliation. The 17fraternities include around 600 actives, while seven sororities
total 160 women.

Today's college students have a new eagerness to
meetand know their teachers outside of the classroom,
but still as teachers. UB students do not differ from
their counterparts throughout the country when they
complain that they "never meet the faculty" or that
"the faculty has no interest in students." Many individuals and student groups consistently express interest
in convocations that would involve faculty and students, and urge more contact through coffee hours, discussion groups, and similar affairs. Students here cite a
needfor improvement of communication between themselves and the faculty. Yet, the barriers to effective
faculty-student contacts are naturally going to increase
with larger numbers of studentsand expanding physical
facilities, since certain advantages of size seem to be

Campus Traditions and School Spirit
"Campus traditions, in activities and behavior, have
tended to disappear," says Wise "and new ones to replace them seem slow to materialize—a source of regret
to many people, particularly the alumni groups." Residence hall developments may tend to alter this at ÜB,
butthis institution—despite itsfounding date of 1846
has not really had much time to develop "traditions."
The university campus is relatively young, with only
40 years on its present site.
Since he already spent four years decorating a high
school gym with crepe paper, we can hardly blame anyone for being bored if he is again asked, on entering
college, to join a committee for this same assignment.
Because of many inroads the high school has made on
campus life, student activities at the university level
are and must generally undergo an important transition,
becoming more closely allied with the educational objectives of the institution.
"School Spirit" is intangible and impossible to measure. A strong residence hall program and positive support from all student organizations may foster the development of proper school spirit. Such spirit must be
more than a revival of the "Joe College" concept. It

invariably paralleled by an increasing impersonalization
of student-faculty relationships.
Worth stressing is Wise's observation that students are interested in the improvement of their college.
"There is littleevidence that students wish to take over
the direction of the college but much that they wish to
share in the planning designed to meet the problems the
college faces in securing adequate funds, recruiting and
holding ablefaculty, and developing the physical plant.
This growing desire on the part of students to interest
themselves seriously in the problems of the college before they become alumni is so contrary to established
tradition as to arouse suspicion and draw criticism from
the colleges themselves
It is a break with tradition
and hence is subject to the problems inherent in the
growth of new tradition."
The most important impact on the recent development of the University of Buffalo revolves around the
current merger of basic urban foundations with residence hall influences of recent origin. There are glimmerings of a newform of school spirit and pride in being
associated with a growing institution. Otherwise, the
majority of today's UB students, perhaps because of
the school's unique urban development, do not seem to
differ essentially in outlook, background, and attitude
when compared with their predecessors. These students,
in most respects, also reflect the heterogeneous background and strong vocational interests of their counterparts attending other colleges and universities through-

UB TO BECOME STATE U
MERGER SET FOR '62
Plans have been made for the University of Buffalo to begin a gradual conversion to a State University on July 1,
GovernorRockefeller revealed, March 16.
A budget item of $4.5 million has been
set aside in the State to go to the University at the beginning of its fiscal year. Included in the $4,500,000 is $1,900,000 to
make up the difference between income
for tuition and endowment and operating
cost, and $2,500,000 to assist in carrying
out the capital expenditures program.
During the next year, the University
willremain a private institution, with the
same tuition. The only change will occur
in the Medical School where the freshman
class will increase from 80 to 100 if the
qualified applicants are found. The effective date ofthe merger has not been determined, but it's probable that it will take
place during the summer of 1962.
However, the bill to appropriate the
money which was sponsored by Senator
Walter Mahoney, majority leader, and
approved by the Senate, was never presented to the Assembly. Apparently it got
lost in the last-minute rush. Loss of the
bill does not necessarily mean that we will
have to go into negotiations withoutfinancial aid. The issuing of a certificate of intent would release the money, and assurances have been given by Senator Mahoney, Assembly Speaker, Joseph F. Carlino, and the Governor, that this will be
handled expeditiously.
In speaking at the Medical School Clinical Day, Chancellor Furnas predicted
that the merger with the State will help
the University to become, "one of the
most magnificent educational institutions
of its kind in the United States." He was
30

making the prediction in the face of criticism and a feeling of uncertainty by many
alumni. The decision to turn UB over to
the State, he noted, was "simply a matter
of survival" in the face of anticipated
deficits which were expected to become
unsurmountable once the State implements
its Master-Plan to establish undergraduate
liberal arts colleges in Buffalo. Dr. Furnas
also noted that along with the merger with
the State University, a University of Buffalo Foundation will be created to receive
and administrate private gifts. Such support will be needed to provide for special
research projects, fellowships, and other
purposes which are not supported by state
budgets. Practically all state universities
have found it necessary to establish such
privately supported foundations to assure
effective operation. Hecommented: "While
the state is expected to supply the meat
and potatoes, private contributions will be
needed to give the vitamins without which
life would be impossible."

Clubs
Law School alumni, class of 1952, will
hold their 9th annual reunion dinner on
May 20, in the Peter Stuyvesant Hotel.
Richard A. Slominaki,LLB'S2, is chairman
and master of ceremonies. His wife, the
former Alfreda Wilczek, BA'5O, is secretary
of the class.

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

��Plunging Into The Atomic Age

Visiting the newly dedicatedWestern Newa York
space

on
Nuclear Research Center is like puttinglanding
in a
helmet, taking off in a rocket, and
a college
strange city of the future. It'shard for even
courses to
graduate with an abundance of science

University,

realize that with this new facility at the
we have literally plunged into theatomic age.
Not strange to this new world of nuclear technology, though, is a blue-eyed, cheerful man, meticulously dressed, who conceived the idea for the
Center, raised the money, and is now general manthe
ager. To him must go much of the credit for
realization of this "great new instrument of peaceful progress," as Governor Rockefeller called the
Center in his dedicatory address.

History of the center
It all began in 1954 when James C. Evans was
thinking about the future of the University and
the Niagara Frontier. He saw how important the
harnessing of atomicpower was to be, and the great
possibilities this nuclear know-how could have on
the local economy. Moreover he felt that the
University had a real responsibility to nurture
atomic development in Western New York by providing a facility on the Campus for teaching and
research, and to provide assistance to industry, in
whatever way it could, as they, too, attempted to
incorporate the latest achievements into their own
current programs.
To satisfy the needs of the University and industry, the Center was conceived with the following in
mind: To provide experimental facuities and scientific personnel for education, research and development utilizing the techniques of nuclear science; to
provide opportunity for industrial personnel themselves to use the facilities of the Center for their
research or close contact with research done for
them by the staff; to provide education and training
courses in the theory and practice of the various
branches of nuclear science; to provide competent
scientists to serve as consultants in the application
of nuclear energy techniquesin industrial problems;
to provide a clearing house for de-classified information on newly developedprocesses and techniquesin

This solid array of steel scaffolding was constructed to hold
up the wooden molds into which concrete was poured for
the roof of the Containment building. Beginning construction in September '59 on bedrock. Geographically speaking,
the building couldn't be located in a better place —on
Onondaga limestone.

�nuclear science; to provide sample-irradiation services, produce short lived radioisotopes, chemical
synthesis of tracer compounds.
Plans for the Center were supported by The Chancellor, The Council and by a Facilities Committee
composed of Faculty Members, so the man with the
idea began to search for the wherewithal to support
it. How he accomplished that wouldbe another story
in itself, but much energy and effort on the part of
a very small group was expended before the $2.2
million was raised. Grants for financing came from
the following sources: Industry: Bell Aircraft, $75,-000; CarborundumCo., Columbus McKinnon Corp.,
Cornell Aeronautical Lab., Inc., the Courier-Express,
Hooker Chemical Corp., and Houdaille Industries,
$50,000 each. U. S. Government: National Science
Foundation $425,000; (for equipment), $139,295;
National Institute of Health, $250,000; a contract
was entered into with New York State for $1,000,-000 on a matching fund basis. In addition, the U. S.
Atomic Energy Commission contributed $30,764 for
the cost of fabricating the fuel elements and waived
charges for their use and reprocessing.
Five years after the first plans for an Atomic
Center at the University were proposed, the cornerstone was laid (November, 1959). One of the five
most powerful privately owned reactors outside of

government owned facilities, the 1,000,000 watt
Center attained criticality on March 24, 1961; the
building was dedicated April 20. Full scale education and research activities for the University,
other educational institutions and industries of the
area began June 1 when the Reactor reached its
maximum power. At that point there was a beautiful
blue glow at the center of the 'swimming pool'

reactor.

How the reactor works
Most of us know that atomic reaction produces
energy in the form of heat. In addition, radiation is
generated in large amounts. In our 'swunming pool'
reactor, the heat from the nuclear reactor is eliminated by an elaborate cooling system, thus leaving
behind theradiation which in turn is channelled into
various experimental facilities.
In effect thereactor is a threestories high tank the
lower halfof which is encased in six-foot thick concrete. The inside of the tankis lined with aluminum
and the fuel elements containing the Uranium 235
are placed ona grid plate at thebottom of the tank.
Surrounding this is 10,000 gallons of demineralized
water which not only shields workers from radiation
but acts as a moderatorfor the reactor cone as well.
Continued on next page

the chain reaction becomes self sustainingand the desired
neutrons and gammarays are generated. Circulatingwater
(C) is passed through heat exchangers to carry off the heat
from nuclear fission. Walls (D) of 6' thick high density concrete shield workers from radiation. A thermal column (E),
consisting'of graphiteblocks which slow the neutrons down
to low or thermal energies, allows experiments to be carried
on against its outer face. A movable concrete shield (F)
seals the column. Neutrons for experimentation outside the
reactor are carried through beam tubes (G). The hot cell
(H) is for conducting experiments on extremelyradioactive
material by remote control through master-slave manipulators (I). The window (J) is provided for gamma irradiation
inside the hot cell, utilizing fuel elements placed on ledge
(K). Samples can be carried from the laboratories to the
reactor core and back through pneumatic tubes (L). The
reactor has been designed so that future expansion of its
capabilities will be practical.

in the lower part of the reactor by autograph-hunting
students, the Governor exchanged this bit of conversation
with an enterprising student:
Student: What courses should I study, sir, to become
Governor?
Governor: Well, I studied economics,if that's any guide.
S: Well, I'm sure personality and drive have a lot to do
with it, also.
G: I'm not convinced of that. I've come to feel in almost
all instances events make men, men don't make events.
And with that the fast-moving Governor was off for
another round of events
which, in truth, he is shaping
constantly.

This type of unit was chosen because of its basic
proven safety and versatility.
A nuclear reactor like this one produces gamma
rays and neutrons which make possible studies of
radiation effects in physics, chemistry, bio-chemistry, biology, engineering, medicine, agriculture, etc.

For instance, nuclear research has shown us how
to make insulation for wires that won't deteriorate
at temperatures of, say, 500 degrees. A marked
improvement has been made in the cigarettes you
smoke by using beta gages in the automatic packing
machines. They control the density of tobacco. In
addition to making easier smoking cigarettes, the
manufacturers havesavedmillions of dollars bypractically eliminating waste.
Nuclear-poweredplants for generating electricity
will be really competitive by 1968, predicted U. S.
Atomic Energy Commissioner Robert E. Wilson
addressing 100 scientists before the dedication of the
Nuclear Center. He also noted the tremendous
growth of useofradioactive isotopes. Already 500,000
patients a year are benefiting from new medical techniques based on such isotopes and 2000 bio-medical
research projects using similar isotopes are advancing man's knowledge still further.
"In agriculture, tracers are increasing the availability and variety of food and other farm products.
They are providing more information about fertilizers, growth hormones, weed killer, insectides and
other agricultural chemicals. Moreintense radiation
is indispensable in research to develop new crop
varieties by changing the genetic characteristics of
the plant."

Education on nuclear technology
Besides supplying direct radiation or producing
radioisotopes, this facility was designed as a tool for
education and research. The University now offers a
full-scale curriculum for the preparationof industrial
scientists and engineers, technical courses for industrial employees, and general survey-type courses for
supervisory personnel. Basic to this program was the
establishment in 1958 of a new graduate program in
nuclear studies leading to a degree of Master of
Science in Nuclear Technology.

THE UNIVERSITY

You really don't have to don a helmet when touring the Research Center,but visitors must wear a
film badge which tells whether or not one has inadvertently been exposed to anyradiation. Before you
leave the building you must also check your hands
and feet in a monitoring machine as an added precaution. Thus people visiting the Center cannot
track radiation particles around. Now that the
Center is in full operationonly authorized personnel
are allowed to enter it.
The design of the building, and the recently added
abstract sculptures lend to the weird feeling that
we're standing in a future era. Mr. Evans remarked
that the Guggenheim Museum in New York City
built by the late Frank Lloyd Wright conveyed this
same sense of the future to him. Of course, he is also
careful to point out the design of the terrazzo floor
in the Lobby of the Center,which is like thatin the
great architectural wonder.—J. M.

�the

Big Move

LATE LAST FALL, some 1500
students spent a busy weekend
packing and unpacking clothes,
collecting old mementos from
drawers and bulletin boards, and
rearranging belongings in their
new rooms in the residence halls.
So monumental was this task, in
fact, that John Okoniewski,
director of housing, referred to it
as the big move.
What happened was that all the
residence halls were evacuated,
and thestudentsrelocated. Freshman and sophomorewomenmoved
into Ella Conger Goodyear Hall
which houses 500. Upperclass
women moved into MacDonald
Hall. All freshman men, including
225 who had been living off
campus, moved into the Tower
Residence Hall. Upperclassmen
took over Cooke,Schoellkopf and
Michael where the women had
been living before the completion
of Goodyear.
Well, it wasa pretty confusing
two days, but as thelast dress was
hung in the closet, tennis rackets
stashed away, and books piled
wherever room couldbe found, all
seemed happy to be finally settled.

HAVE TEXTBOOK—WILL TRAVEL
by

Harold J. Vetter*
X HE Military Orders I was issued at U. S. Army
Headquartersin Heidelberg, Germany, were only a
trifle bulkier than the master plan for the invasion
of Normandy and nearly as simple to decipher as a

Tibetan colophon. They instructed me, in that

blubber-lipped jargon which is the Army's current
brand of bafflegab, to report "on or about" suchand-such date to a certain air base situated somewhere in the boondocks of northern Italy. Its
precise whereabouts was classified, presumably,
since no one seemed disposed to let me in on the
secret. A tour of several offices netted me the following: (1) a series of application forms for re-enlistment, (2) an invitation to give a lecture to the NCO
Wives' Club,(3) a booklet of instructions on how
to field-strip a "machine-gun, caliber .50, aircooled,

Browning", (4) a-year's subscription to Army
Times, and (5) an appointment to Staff and Com-

mand School.
Ifled precipitately to the Hauptbahnhof and took
refuge in a brew with the highly diverting name of
Dinkelacker. Thus fortified, I boarded tie Orient
Express (with trenchcoat collar turnedup and snap
brim pulled down), feeling like a character from an
Eric Ambler novel. I was keenly disappointed at
making it all the way to the Italian border without
having been approached by a dark, sultry woman
with a long cigarette holder and an easternEuropean
accent. So unstrung was I, in fact,that I celebrated
my arrival in Venice by nearlyfalling into the Grand
Canal. After a weekend which left me shaken and
wan, I set out intrepidly in search of my air base.

that Ireached the base in a dead

the autumn rains: no thin Protestant drizzle, either, but a genuine
Roman Catholic frog-strangler.
The hulking Air Policeman at
the main gate fixed me with one of
those oystery stares they seem to
reserve for civilians and demanded
some identification. I must have
fumbled long enough to convince
him I was straight from a briefing
by Khrushchev before finally digging out an AGO card which certified that I was a bonafide U. S.
citizen of reliable character and
some dubiousrelationshipwith the
Department of Defense. He compared my soggy features with the

handed back the card with an expression which suggested that I

Maryland. He grappled a bit with

coversome of theless lurid details
of my five year hitch asan instructor in what is, without doubt, the
most unusual experiment in the
history of education—a job which
has taken me, thus far, to a total
of 27 U.S. military bases on four
continents, logged me more flying
time than Curtis Le May, and
practically ruined me for a safe,
sane, sedate, and sedentary career
in the States.
The whole thing started about
twelve years ago in Europe. In
response to a growing demand for
a higher level of technical competence among the personnel of the
"new model" armed forces, the
University of Maryland was contracted by the Department of
Defense to set up a program of
college courses to be offered during off-duty hours. (Uncle Sam
indicated a willingness to underwrite the lion's share of the
expenses.) Since the American
military establishment happens
to be scattered from H
to
breakfast, this meant that the program had to be implemented on

basis. The GI students couldn't
go traipsing off to the campus, so
the campus was brought to them.
Which reaffirms an old chestnut
about the sun never setting, etc.
With divisions in theNorth Atlantic, Europe, and the Far East, the
Maryland campus literally girdles
the globe.
This was only the beginning.
What happenedafter that still has
professional educators muttering
in their beards.

him extensively in relation to higher learning. In the
role of scholar he exhibits considerable talent, but
with an approach to his studies that is likely to
prove somewhat disconcerting to a professor who
joins the overseas faculty expecting the well-oiled
regularities of stateside academic life.
For example, one of my colleagues who teaches
English assigned his freshman class (average age:
33) a composition on the subject of "Do it yourself'
as an exercise in expository writing. One enterprising
student returned a minor masterpiece on how to
construct a home still for making moonshine, together with a beautifully detailed scale drawing.
Another budding GI Milton handed in a composition which delineated the procedure for giving an
enema according toregulations, and concluded with
these flawless gems of advice: "It is generally advisable to inform the patient in advance that the enema
is going to be administered. Otherwise he is apt to
get provoked when taken by surprise. Also, whenever possible, one should avoid the use of a garden
hose or boiling water."
Just before I left Kyushu for my present assignment, one of my students an Air Force sergeant
told me about an
who works in air trafficcontrol
incident that perfectly illustrates this irrepressible
attitude. At the base where we were stationed a
certain colonel had succeeded, within a very short
space of time, in establishing a reputation as a
thorough martinet. Daily from his office there issued
a spateof pettifogging orders that produced nothing
but ahopelessly snarled set ofoperations and jangled
nerves among the men. It was right about this time
that Emperor Hirohito decided to pay a visit to
Kyushu; and on the day he was scheduled to land
at our base, the colonel managed to insert himself
in the trafficpattern and was jockeying for position
in the final approach. In the midst of the ensuing
uproar, the harassed tower operator turned to his
relief and said, "His Highness is circling the field,
waiting to land." The sergeant glanced disgustedly
at the gaggle overhead, shrugged, and asked,
"Which one?"
Teaching never has a chance of degenerating into
mereroutine in the Overseas Program. About a year
ago, in Korea, I was jolting along in my jeep one
day on the rutted dirt road that runs between
Tongduchon andKuma-ri. Up ahead was a half-mile
long column of medium tanksand armored personnel
carriers whose dust I had been eating for five or six
miles. Suddenly the convoy ground to a halt; and
there we sat while the minutes ticked away. The

—

class I was teaching was being held at Camp St.
Barbara, Ist Corps Artillery HQ, across the 38th
parallel. And I was beginning to get a little panicky
about meeting it on time. I clambered out of the
jeep and stalked up to the head of the column where
I found the CO, a major in battle garb, leaning
against the side of his tank smoking a cigarette.
When I asked him what was the tie-up, he cocked
his thumb in the direction of the next gully. In the
middle of the river bed was the wreckage of a ROK

�widely separated bases by helicopter, an experience
which left me with one indelible impression: my true
image of Perdition is an eternity spent shuddering
in the icy winds of a Korean winter on the flight
apron atKimpo, waiting for an aircraft that never
arrives.
Fortunately there are stopovers inTokyo between
assignments where, among the amenities, one tends
to shed the recollection of discomfort and inconvenience. Among the manifold blandishments of a vacation in Tokyo, for the Far East faculty members, is
"Opinion," a half-hour radio program co-sponsored
by the Far East Network and the University of
Maryland. This informal round-table discussion
brings together staff members of Maryland and
visiting celebrities. Among the many guests that
have appeared on this program are Edward R.
Murrow, James Michener, Tennessee Williams,
Pearl Buck, Erskine Caldwell, Milton Caniff, and
William Lederer and Eugene Burdick
to mention only a few.
Then back to the boondocks again.
While the physical facilities for teaching are generally the best that the bases can provide, a Maryland prof has to be prepared to use any makeshifts
that happen to be available. Atvarious times I have
given lectures in thebase chapel, an airplane hangar,
a quonset hut, thestock room off thebar in the NCO
club, the operations shack, and once in a tent.
The fact that higher education has somehow
worked under these conditions is primarily due to
the students themselves officersand enlisted men.
They pay for these courses out of their own pockets,
attend them on their own time after duty
often
at the end of a bone-crunching day, so beat that
it's the instructor's biggest challenge to keep them
awake for threehours, let alone help them to learn
anything and do their studying God knows when.
Most of them are married men with families. But
although they gripe and moan in the best GI tradition, they never really lose their enthusiasm and
zest for learning; and are motivated enough by comparison to make Horatio Alger look like a threetoed sloth.
At this point, with major policy changes that
drastically affect the military establishment taking
place almost hourly, it would be exceedingly rash to
make any predictions about the future of the Maryland Overseas Program. Nevertheless, I wrote a
little piece of whimsy a few months ago which
involved an imaginary conversation between the
director and associate director of the University of
Maryland Outer Space Program in their offices at
Mare Imbrium, Luna.
Of course, I was only kidding.

They always wash out of the silt around this time

just thinking about the number of times I had
driven over that exact spot during the previous
three months.
More often the complications of teaching on the
outer marches are aggravating and uncomfortable,
rather than lethal. On myfirst trip to Korea in 1958,

VJrover Wende was probably one
of the most famous and beloved
physicians the University of Buffalo
Medical College ever graduated. At
the time of his deathin 1926,he was
one of the most eminent men in
American medicine, known both in
this country and abroad as one of the
world's leading authorities on diseases of the skin. Hewas professor of
dermatology and syphilology at the
University, a member ofthe national
and local medical societies, and dermatologist for these hospitals: Erie
County, Sisters', German, General,
Children's, City and United States
Marine.

Dr. Wende was born in Millgrove,
Erie County, April 6, 1867, the son
of Bernard Philip Wende and Susan
Kirk Wende. He was one of six sons.
He received his early education in
therural schools ofthe town of Alden
and later entered the University of
Buffalo Medical College, from which
he graduated in 1889. He took a
degree at the University of Pennsylvania the following year and went
abroad to do medical research work
in universities in Prague, Vienna,
andParis. He began practice in Buffalo with his brother Ernest, at 174
Franklin Street in 1892. Ernest's
Continued on next pete

�—

chiefinterest was in public health
his greatest work being done in the
prevention of infant's infections. It
was he who introduced the rubber
nipple on the nursing bottle.
Grover Wende became a frequent
writer for scientific publications on
the subjects in which he specialized.
He was a former president of the
American Dermatology Association
and theMedical Society of the State
of New York, chairman of the dermatology section of the American
Medical Association, and a member
of the Surgeon General's Committee during the World War, handling
the problems of skin diseases in the
United States Army.
Photography, particularly as applied to his work, was an absorbing
hobby of his. His work was beautiful,
and his large collection of lanternslides, illustrating differentforms of
skin diseases was world renowned.
His practice was very large (conservative estimates made by some of
his colleagues at the time of his
death numbered 100,000). Patients
came to him from all over the
country,forhisreputation wasworldwide. But no person was too small
for him to see. Money meant little
to him, and although his practice
had great potentialities for large
fees, he never availed himself of
them.
The following description of Dr.
Wende's character gives us some
insight as to why he was so beloved
by his colleagues, Buffalonians and
alumni: "Grover William Wende
was named for the greatest man
Buffalo has yet produced. Grover
Cleveland and Dr. Wende's father
were associated together in the
District Attorney's office when Dr.
Wende was born. With a prophetic
eye he saw that Grover Cleveland
would go-a-long way, and Grover
became the first name of our friend.
His second name, William, Dr.
Wende said, was after a paper
hanger that happened to be working
in the home when he was born.
Those two names, the first after one
of America's greatest sons and the
second after one of the humbler
typify Grover Wende's character.
He would meet the greatest of the
world without sycophancy, and the
least without loss of dignity." (1)

Knew Him,"from Grover William Wende, M.D.,

Sports Scene
By Bill Evebett
BS (Bus) '60

VV htle Spring practice turned
into a knock-down, drag-out battle
with the weather elements, there
were signs of tempered optimism
which were not in evidence last year.
Rain got in its last punch on Saturday, May 6th, as the freshmen
and sophomores on Dick Offenhamer's Varsity eleven "learned a
few lessons" from an Alumni AllStar squad coached by freshman
mentor, Dewey Wade. The Alumni

won, 22-0, to make the series 1-1.
Key men in the "old timers" scoring sequences were halfbacks Willie
Evans and Chuck Daniels, center
and fullback Lou Reale, quarterbacks Gordon Bukaty, Joe Oliverio
and Fred Kogut as well as a line
averaging 235 lbs. which included
such names as Jack Dempsey,
Bernie Fagan, Phil Bamford, Ray
Paolini, Nate Bliss, Gene Gollarney,
Joe Shifflet, Gord DeMasi, George
Delaney, Dave Brogan, Bob Adams,
Dick Schwertfager, Nick Bottini.
Carley Keats, Stan Kowalski,. and
Joe O'Grady. The entire roster read
like a Who's Who of UB football.
Age and class honors went to peren-

nial halfback, Jim Vitema who does
everything but take tickets.
As for the Varsity... they learned
thatmud, weight and experience can
spell the difference with emphasis
on the latter quality.
However, don't jump to negative
conclusions. In fact, things are more
promising at this point than they
have been in a couple of years
even in spite of the heavyweight
schedule for '61.
Someone asked: "Who'll play
quarterback with Bukaty and
Oliverio graduated?" Answer:
"There are six of them ready to go,
just as Buckets and Joe were as
sophomores. They are: Gene Guerrie (ineligiblein '60) who hasn't lost
any of theold talent, John Stofa who
led the frosh to victory over Army
last year, Jack Sargent who is recovered from his '60 injury, John
Nathans, Al Meranto and Pat Price
who saw considerable Varsity play
last year.
At fullback there is Jim Burd,
transfer student from Nebraska who
shows good punting and running
abilities, along with Ed Harris who
played tackle last season. This move
is one of the top stratagems of the
year. The other key move was a shift

—

..

of Dick Hort from tackle to center
where he stymied the Alumni, especially as a linebacker.
The halves are eager, deep and
fast. Especially promising were the
performances turned in by Gerry
Ratkewicz and John Cimba. They
are from Detroit and Grimsby, Ont.
respectively.
Larry Gergley is a talented end
who should see plenty of action as
did his older brother, Gerry. Chuck
Winzer and Jim Bowden received
merits for their performances.
Choosing two starting guards
from the frosh-soph list is a real
chore. Dom Piestrak of Detroit and
Jim Wolfe of Endicott have shown
well. Joe Colatarciof N. Tonawanda
and Dan Nole, a converted center
and fullback, look great.
Paul Gagliardi of Lackawanna
and Jim Wick of Warren, Pa. will
work with Hort at center.
Know what? We haven't even
mentioned the 12 senior lettermen
who will return in the Fall.
Yes, it looks good. The returnees
will have to prove they rate their
jobs. You'll miss the top season in
U.B. history if you don't have your
season tickets (at $16.00) now. If
new seats are not added this summer, you will need a season ducat to
see evenone game.Remember all

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

�Strike up the band
FRANK J. CIPOLLA who comes to UB from the University of Missouri's famous "Marching Mizzou", gives the
downbeat for the 1961 Marching Bulls. Since Mr. Cipolla
became director this Fall, the 84-piece band has attracted
much approval from football fans. These photographs were
taken at a four-day band camp held in September. Over 100
students gathered on the practice field near Baird Hall to
audition for positions, and practiced from morning until
night on marching fundamentals. Assisting Mr. Cipolla in
the organization of this year's band has been Richard Fagan
who helps plan the halftimeshows, Tom Haenle who handles
administrative details, and drum major, David Weisenfreund.

At left: Mr. Cipolla shows the drum section the
cadence style. This sets the marching pace at from
160-180 beats per minute. Above: Marching with instruments is as tough as it looks. Students must know
how to lift and hold instruments, and of course play
while they march. Below: Learning basic fundamentals includes left and right face, coming to attention,
and marching "eight to the five" (taking eight steps to
each of the five yard markers on the practice field).

About the Cover: At the Gettysburg game, Photographer Sigismund L.
J. Dekany snapped Frank Cipolla as he was leading the band in its
1961 debut. Judging from the warm response given to the band both
at home and on the road (Boston) where Buffalo fans gathered after
the game and cheered the group on to presenting an impromptu concert,
Mr. Cipolla's hard work has paid off. The word around campus is that
this year's band "is the best ÜB's ever had."

are my child's chances of getting into

What
college?

What can I as a parent do to improve my child's
chances of getting into the college that seems best
for him?
Chances are you've asked these questions, and
maybe other parents have asked them of you. For
admission to college has become the nation's surefire topic of conversation.
Elections, baseball and international upheavals
compete for attention, of course; but these matters
don't touch our personal lives. Yet it seems that
every American has some contact with the business
of college entrance, knows a surprising amount about
it—or at least thinks he does—and wants to know

more.

What he wants to know usually boils down to the
two questions above.
There is a quick answer to the first question—what are my child's chances of
getting into college?
Any childwho has an I.Q. of ninety-five or better,
who can write a letter including a simple declarative
sentence such as "I want to go to your college," who

can read without moving his lips, and who can pay
college expenses up to $500 a year can go to college.
But it may also be true that a child with an I.Q. of
140 who can do differential equations in bis head
may not get to college.
Obviously, then, the general answer can only
indicate that there is a tremendous range of insti-

tutions, with varying standards and opportunities,
and that many factors determine actual chances of
admission. For a full answer to the question, we must
examine and describe these types of institutions.
As a first step, let us take a hypothetical group of
one hundred high school graduates who go on to
college in a given year, and see what the typical
pattern of their applications and acceptances would
be:
Twenty students, all from the top half of the class,
will apply to sixty of the institutions that are

4

�apiece.
Thirty students, including all of thefourth quarter
and five from the third quarter, will apply to institutions that are ordinarily known as "easy." Half of
these institutions will be four-year colleges, and half
juniorcolleges or community colleges. All thirty students will be admitted. Fifteen will leave during the

northern Middle West and on the Pacific coast.
Four-fifths are private, with three-fourths of the
total enrollment of the group. The one-fifth that are
public have one-fourth of the enrollment. This proportion is changing; in a few years it will be threefifths private and two-fifths public, with a fifty-fifty
enrollment split.
It now costs about $3,000 a year to send a child
to a preferred institution.
"Standard" institutions—which are not selective at admission, but will not admit any student
obviously destined tofail —number from 700 to 800.
The larger number includes about fifty that could
be considered part of the preferred listand another
fifty that could be placed on the easy list. In my
judgment, the smaller number is the right one for
this category. It will stay about constant over the
next decade, with some shifting between lists. But
enrollments within the standard category will go up
by at least fifty per cent.
Standard institutions are of course located in
every state. Seventy per cent of their enrollments
are in public institutions, and thirty per cent in private ones. But the private institutions outnumber

first year, and eight more during the next two years.
The seven who receive degrees will go directly to
employment, although one or two may return to
college later for a master's degree in education.
At this point, we need some specific information about the types of institutions
I have just mentioned.
"Preferred" institutions the ones that receive
most attentionfrom high school students number
from 100 to 150, depending on who makes the list.
In my judgment, the larger number is correct, and
the list is still growing. It should reach 200 by 1965,
and 250 by 1970. The number of places available in
preferred institutions now approximately 100,000
should increase to about 150,000 during the next
decade.
The present 150 preferred colleges are located in
about fifteen states—mostly in the Northeast, the

the public ones in a ratio of sixty-forty. Many of the
private colleges are remarkably small.
Costs at standard institutions tend to run from
$1,500 to $2,500 per year. Yet some of these schools
operate with very lowfees, and naturally the public
ones are in the lower cost bracket.
"Easy" institutions number about 800, of which
300 are four-year colleges and the rest junior colleges or community colleges. The listwill grow rapidly as colleges are established over the next decade.
Even though some easy colleges will raise requirements and join the standard group, there may well
be 1,500 colleges in this category by 1970. Enrollment will triple in the same period.
At present about one-third of the easy institutions
are four-year private colleges with enrollment problems, and many of these are trying to enter the
standard group. But almostall newly establishedin-

generally listed as "preferred." Ten of themwill be
accepted by twenty of the institutions. Nine of the

ten will graduate from their colleges, and six of the
nine will continue in graduate or professional school
and take advanced degrees. These ten admitted
students will average six years' attendance apiece.
Seventy students, forty from the top half of the
class (including those ten who did not make preferred institutions), all twenty-five from the third
quarter, and five from the fourth quarter, will apply
to eighty institutions generally considered "standard" or "respectable." Sixty will be accepted by one
or both of the colleges to which they applied. Thirty
of the sixty will graduate, and ten will continue in
graduate or professional school, most of them for
one- or two-year programs. These sixty admitted
students will average about three years of college

�stitutions are tax-supported. Thus by 1970 the number of private colleges on this level of education will
be negligible.
Cost of attending these institutions is now very
low; tuition ranges from nothing to $500 a year.
With these descriptions established, let
us consider chances of admission to these
institutions, now and in the future.
The "preferred" institutions are already difficult
to enter, and will become more so. In general, their
requirements call for an academic standing in the
upper quarter of the secondary school class, and
preferably in the upper tenth. School recommendations must be favorable, and the individual must
show signs of maturity and purpose. Activities and
student leadership have been overplayed, particularly by parents and school advisors, but they carry
some weight as indications of maturity. Parental
connections with colleges help, but are rarely decisive. If any factor is decisive, it is the school record
as verified by College Board scores.
Chances of admission to any of this group of
"preferred" colleges may be estimated as follows:
School record in upper ten per cent, with appropriate College Board scores and endorsement
from high school
not worse than two chances
out of three.
School record in upper quarter, with verifying
College Board scores not worse than one in
three. This does not mean that the student will
get one acceptance out of two or three tries,
but rather that this estimate of chance holds
for any preferred institution he applies to.
School record below the upper quarter, with strong
counterbalancing factors, such as high College
Board scores, remarkable personal qualities,
proven talents in special fields, strong family
connections, recent awakening of interest and
excellent performance, achievement despite
great handicaps not better than one chance
inthree, and not worse than one chance infour.
No others need apply.
The "standard" institutions are, taken as
a group, still accessible to any student
whose past performance or present promise
givesreasonable chances of college success.
But there are gradations within the standard
institutions. Some approach the selectiveness of the
preferred group; others are purposefully lenient in
their admissions and stiffer in later "weeding out"
during the first year of college.
A student shows reasonable chance of success
when he has taken a secondary school program, including at least two yearsof mathematics, two years
of a foreign language, and four years of English, has

—

—

—

passed all subjects on thefirst try, and has produced
good grades in at least half of them. This means a

school record not too far below the middle of the
class, at worst. Now that nearly all standard institutions are requiring College Boards or similar types
of examinations, the school record has to be backed
by test scores placing the student in the middle
range of applicants (CEEB scores of 400 or higher).
Such a student can be admitted to a standard
institution, but he may have to shop for vacancies,
particularly if his marks and scores are on the low
side and ifhe comes from a part of the country where
there are more candidates than vacancies. Thus students in the Northeast often have to go outside their
region to get into a standard college, even if they
have excellent records. On the other hand, where
there is stillroom for expansion, as in the South and
parts of the MiddleWest, students may enter some
of the standard institutions with records that are
relatively weak.
Students with poor records or poor programs who
still offer unusual qualifications, such as interest in
meteorology or astronomy, students who wish to follow unusual programs in college, or students who are
otherwise out of pattern will often find it difficult to
enter standard institutions. Curiously enough, they
may well encounter greater difficulty with such institutions than they would have with many in the
preferred category. In otherwords, standard institutions are "standard" in many senses of the word.
They take care of the majority of college students,
and will continue to, but they do not move much
outside ofa fixed pattern.
"Easy institutions are by definition nonselective. We can make several generalizations about them:
First, any high school graduate can enter an easy
institution, regardless of his 1.Q., or his studies in
school, or what he hopes to do in college and after.
Second, an easy college usually offers a wide range
of courses, all the way from a continuation of the
general high school course to technical and semiprofessional programs, to the standard college
subjects.

Third, easy colleges will draw some well-prepared
students who later go on to advanced degrees.
Fourth, since ea3y colleges are not selective
(neither keeping students out nor forcing them out),
they must operate so that students will make their
own decisions, and thus they must have a strong
institutionalemphasis on guidance.
Fifth, since one of the most powerful of all selective devices is the charge for tuition, easy colleges
tend to charge low, or no, tuition.
Sixth, easy colleges are a consequence, nota cause,

proaching college age. With the ever increasing
emphasis our society is placing on a college education and the constant reference made to the "closing
college door", the need to explain the admissions
policies and procedures to these graduates has become a responsibility which cannot be shirked. It is
primarily to this group of anxious parents I direct
thisarticle, although I sincerely hope eachand every
alumnus will find encouragement in the admissions
policies and in theattitude of theadmissions officers.
Those of you who have not visited your campus
in recent years will find it greatly changed. From
primarily a commuting school the University has
grown to be nationally and internationally recog-

nized as a dynamic institution of higher learning.
Growing on every front the University offers a wide
selection of undergraduate and graduate programs.
The presence of modern residence facilities, accommodating 1550 students on the campus, means that
the alumni who have left the Buffalo area may still
encourage their children to consider the University
as their first choice for continuing their education.
What average is required if they are accepted?
What can parents do if their children are rejected?
Can students and parents visit the campus and
expect to talk with a University representative?
These, and many other questions hauntthe average
parent and despite the encouragement of high school
and college personnel many parents fail to seek the
appropriate answers until too late. What follows
below I hope will give you a better understanding
ofwhat your alma materwill expect ofyour children
when they apply as well as what you and your
children may expect from us.

Campus Visits
For most parents, visiting the admissions office of
a university is as strange as visiting a new country.
While talking with an admissions officer many of the

UB

questions which are so important to every member
of the family are invariably forgotten, but will be
remembered again during the trip home. Being
aware of this common occurrence, the admissions
officer will provide all that information which the
circumstances seem to require. However, he must
rely on you to provide the particulars of your unique
situation. Write your questions down as you think
of them. Don't rely on your memory alone.
The summer between the junior and senior years
in high school is the best timeto begin making visits.
By writing in advance you will be sure of having an
appointment and, if necessary, receiving information
about where you can spend the night. If on a week
day youfind yourself unexpectedly in the area without an appointment, an admissions counselor will be
available to speak with you.

�Submitting Applications
Your youngsters should be encouraged to visit as
many schools as possible before making their choice
but, they should make application to no more than
three. An application for admission to U.B. and
descriptive material is available in the Admissions
Counseling Office and may be obtainedby writing to
the university. After choosing the schools your
youngsters would most liketo attend, their guidance
counselors can help them appraise their chances of
admissions and select two alternate schools for consideration. At least two of their applications should
be submitted early in their senior year.
When your children have completed their applications for admission to UB they must submit them
to the high school from which they will graduate.
The guidance counselor will forward it to the University. An envelope is provided with the application
which should be used to submit the application fee.
The volume of applications received will not allow us
to process an application until it is complete. To be
considered complete an application mustcontain the
complete high school record, the application fee of
$10.00, and in the case of transfer students, official
transcripts from all colleges previously attended.

discussions.

Evaluating Credentials
As you can see there are variables which may
cause a delay inthe admissions decision. In order to
make you aware of the status of your youngsters'
application we will acknowledge receipt of the application and inform you of any further obligation on
your part. You will also be toldwhen you may expect
the decision. In many cases we are unaware of circumstances which could assist us in reaching the
proper decision. Although we are not staffed to provide personal screening of each applicant, when the
situation seems towarrant an interview the student
will be asked to make an appointment with an
admissions counselor.

Qualifications
Applicants presenting an acceptable high school
or regents average and ranking in the top two-fifths
of their class will be considered acceptable if they

are recommended by their high school and space is
available. Students ranking inthe third-fifth of their
class who present satisfactory averages or whose
scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Tests of the College Entrance Examination Board or an equivalent
test designated by the University are satisfactory
may be considered acceptable.

The University has traditionally been committed
to the policy of providing broad educational oppor-

�tunities of high caliber for those who are qualified
and who can benefit from the experience.
Students are admitted only if the admissions officer finds reason to believe the candidate capable of
completing a degree program. For this reason applicants are sometimes offered alternate programs.
Recognizing the uncertainty surrounding a high
school graduate's choice of career the admissions
officer may place a student in a no-preference area.
Professional advisors assist these students in
choosing the proper field of study during theirfreshman year. Many students, realizing their own
uncertainty, select this program themselves.
Border line students may also be offered a two
yearprogram similar incontent to themore stringent
four-year program originally requested. Satisfactory
work in this area may qualify the student to enter
a baccalaureate degree program as early as the end
of the first semester.
When time permits, tests are assigned or summer
school attendance is requested as final evidence for
consideration. Satisfactory performance in either of
these areas may provide thefinal proof necessary to
permit a favorable decision.
The last alternative offered to residents of the
Niagara Frontier is the opportunity of attending
Millard Fillmore College. Although this is a nondegree granting division, the course work completed
by students while proving their ability to successfully compete at the college level will apply towards
their degree programs in day school.

After the Decision
On the decision date your youngsters will either
be notified of their acceptance to the program requested, of their acceptance to a more suitable
program, or of their rejection. Whether your youngster is accepted or rejected, the admissions officers'
obligation to you does not end. Many hours are
devoted to discussing decisions and alternatives with
parents whose youngsters have been denied admission. If your youngsters are rejected we welcome
the opportunity to assist wherever possible inplanning their future educational experiences as well as
discussing the significant factors involved in the
decision.
Anxieties, quite naturally, exist in the minds of
the parents whose youngsters have been accepted to
the University. The student faces the transition
from high school to college and from teen-ager to
adult. For many students this is the first time significant problems will have to be met without the
counsel and encouragement of their parents. In
order to assist the student in facing these responsibilities the University has available many facilities

ranging from job placement to personal counseling.
For example, you as alumni are familiar with the
chaos which traditionally hazed students on registration day. Today, incoming freshmen are invited
to attend one of a series of summer planning conferences during which they meet their advisor, plan
their program for thefreshman year and pre-register
for their subjects. No further registration isrequired
and additional timemay be spent onfreshman orien-

tation acquainting themwith the expanding services
of the University and the surrounding community.
The service facilities have kept pace with the
dynamic physical and academic growth of the University. The identification and development of the
individual's unique talents remains the primary objective of the educators and administrators at the
University. You may be assured that this primary
concern for the individual's welfare will play the
major role in theadmission decision.

market" better for all, private and public.
At the same time, the construction projects will
benefit the economy of communities throughout the
State.
No appropriation of State monies is involved. Eligibility for this program would be determined by
institutional appreciation to the State Dormitory
Authority and, upon their approval, would be
subject further to the endorsement of an audit committee composed of the state Comptroller, the State
Commissioner of Taxation and Finance, and the
State Superintendent of Banks. With this careful
screening, a reliable determination can be made as
to the financial integrity and ability of the institution to repay the loan. Since the recent record of
colleges inpayment of building bonds is unsurpassed,
the possibility of default to the extent that the State
would be called upon to honor bonds in default is
remote. And even in that case, the Authority retains
title to the involved property.
The proposal hag the full support of the Association of Colleges and Universities of New York State,
composed of 126 private and public institutions of
higher education, the Commission of Independent
Colleges and Universities, composed of 84 private
institutions located in the State, the Board of
Regents and the Board of Trustees of the State of
New York.
In Governor Rockefeller's message to the Legislature, he "earnestly recommended" the adoption
of this amendment. He commented: "With respect
to such bonds, it is expressly provided that any
private institution for which an academic building is
constructed from bond funds must assure the Authority of sufficient revenues to pay all interest and
principal as well as any sinking-fund payments required by the bond resolution. This feature will
assure that the Authority is entirely self-sustaining
in its loansto private institution."
Three of the University's recently constructed
buildings have beenfinanced through Federal Loans
—the Tower, Goodyear and presently the new Student Union. In order for this university and other
New York institutions of higher learning, to meet
the overflow of students, additional residence halls
and academic buildings are needed. Chancellor
Furnas has been appointed by the Association of
Colleges and Universities to spearhead efforts in
Western New York for interpreting the proposition
to voters.

�The history of three professional

JOURNALS
Oix years ago, in the summer of 1955, the first
issue of The International Journal of Social Psychiatry appeared. Its founder and English Editor,
Joshua Bierer, was then as now medical director of
the Marlborough Day Hospital, and consultant psychiatrist at Runwell Hospital. He was also the
honorary medicaldirector of theLondon Institute of
Social Psychiatry. More important historically, Dr.
Bierer had brought to English psychiatry certain
innovationsin whichhe had pioneered. Among these
are the Day Hospital for day patients, the Night
Hospital for night patients, the self-governing therapeutic social club, and new trends in group
psychotherapy, in unlocked, open hospital wards
and buildings, in the community clinic atmosphere,
and perhaps most of all in the "therapeutic milieu"
as a way of restoring the patient's self-esteem and
mobilizing his personality assets. Today, when the
slightly modified term for all this, —"the therapeutic
community"—has become a common phrase, it is
well to dateDr. Bierer's pioneering in these various
aspects to the 1940 decade, when he made the innovations and published the first book and articles
about them.
The masthead proclaimed the Journal to be "the
new quarterly of interdisciplinary research." The
first subscription blanks added only that this was
"the first international journal with a common interest for psychiatrists, educationists, psychologists,
sociologists, criminologists, anthropologists, and
otherworkers in the field of mental healthand social
services." Before these steps could be taken, however, Americans Marvin K. Opler and Thomas A. C.
Rennie, both on the professorial staff of the Department of Psychiatry of Cornell University Medical
College, also worked as organizing editors and developed with Dr. Bierer an Advisory Editorial Board
from all the continents of the world, and a United
States Editorial group to process contributions from
the Americas. Unfortunately, Dr. Rennie fell ill
during this early period and he died the following
year. The U.S. Editors for the Americas were Dr.
Opler of the University of Buffalo, and Francis J.
Braceland, then president of the American Psychiatric Association.
Today, Dr. Bierer as Editor in Londonreceives all
contributions (articles, reviews and news notes)

from continents other than North and South
America. Dr. Opler receives the contributions from
the Western Hemisphere. Dr. Braceland continues
as American co-Editor.
Associate Editors are D. J. West of Cambridge
University and Hans J. Eysenck of the University of
London. Assistant Editors include W. H. G. Armytage of the University of Sheffield, D. W. Liddell of
St. Francis Hospital in Sussex,A. Irving Hallowell of
the University of Pennsylvania, Morris S. Schwartz
of Brandeis University, Georgene Seward of the
University of Southern California, and Eric D.
Wittkower of McGill University.
The entireeditorial group therefore includes three
psychiatrists, three in the fields of sociology and
anthropology, two psychologists, two in thefields of
public health and preventive medicine, a criminologist and a professor of education. All are active
participants in the multi-disciplinary field of social
psychiatry.
The International Journal, once centered in
London and New York City, now has its chief offices
in London and in Buffalo, New York. Yet it is international andcross-cultural inits interestsand efforts.
Over a hundred members of the Advisory Editorial
Board swell the list of psychiatrists, sociologists,
anthropologists, psychologists, public health experts,
educators and others in mental health and related
fields of social services who work with the Journal.
Obviously, then, the Journalisalso multidisciplinary
as a consequence. Its contributors include psychiatrists, medical sociologists and anthropologists,
psychologists, public health experts, criminologists,
educators, historians of medicine, personnel in social
services, and social philosophers. Since social psychiatry is defined as the study and prevention of the
causes and dynamics of mental illnesses seen intheir
socialand cultural environments, the Journalis sensitive to any efforts, ranging from "organic" to
therapeutic and social efforts to attack this sizeable
modern problem. An optimistic basic tenet of this
international and multidisciplinary behavioral
science is that social and cultural environments
(including the family, social class or cultural environment)
are powerful forces producing the kinds
and amounts of mental illness existing in the world.
Both research efforts and organizational methods

�could therefore mitigate the enormous cost, waste
and sheer unhappiness involved in this practical

problem.

From modest beginnings a half-dozen years ago,
the Journalhasrisen to a unique place of prominence
in the scientific literature of the world. It is still
unique inthat there is no other international journal
of this multidisciplinary range. It has published
almost equal proportions of reviews and articles,
news of conferences, etc., from such fields of psychiatry, social sciences, psychology and ancillary
disciplines. Its readership is therefore polyglot,
multidisciplinary and interested in these humane
purposes that cut across the arbitrary lines of
academic disciplines. Occasionally, articles have appeared in Spanish, French and German, or have been
translated from such diverse sources as Norwegian
or Thai, although the lingua franca of English serves
in more than 90 or 95 percent of the materials.
Because of an extremely large circulation in North
and South America, Quadrangle Press (an affiliate
of the Free Press of Chicago), 119WestLake Street,
Chicago 1,Illinoiswill, this January, 1962, take over
the advertising tasks of promotion and distribution
of the Journal which has, to now, grown through
the sheer weight of a world-wide scientific interest,
need and purpose. Quadrangle Press has had ample
experience in the field of Anglo-American publications since it handles the Tavistock journal
publications of London. Editorial matters, however,
will continue in the University of Buffalo School of
Medicine (Dr. Opler) and the London office of Dr.
Bierer, with all American writings processed at the
former, and the contributions from Europe, Africa
and Australasia going in the latter direction.

tributed to its journal, Language. They wanted,
however, to have a journal that would not be the
organ of any society—they were and continue to be
prominent and active members of the LSA —but
would provide a place for the publication of short
articles of a value that presented special printing
difficulties, or dealt with new and untried ideas, or
were coachedin less formal or more daring style than
was usual in a regular learned society publication.
The group discussed the plan by correspondence,
and at theannual meeting of the LSA in December,
1941,it was agreed to start the journal. The meeting
took place threeweeks after Pearl Harbor, and many
doubted the wisdom of any new venture at such a
time. But the journal was to be typed and produced
from mimeograph stencils, so the decision to go
ahead prevailed. An editor was chosen —one of the
youngest members of the group—and another
member, who had the use of a special typewriter,
volunteered to make the stencils. The title Studies
in Linguistics was adopted, abbreviated SIL. Shortly
after the decision, the chosen editor was drafted (he
was able to do a special job involving his linguistic
training, was commissioned as a result of it, and is
now professor of linguistics and anthropology at a
large eastern university). The prime mover of the
idea then had to either see the journal die before it
was born, or assume the editorship himself. He did
so, "temporarily", and he is still editing the journal.
He is George L. Trager, professor of Anthropology
and Linguistics at the University of Buffalo.
Until 1946,Dr. Trager edited the journal almost
single-handed, taking it with him from Yale, where
he was teaching until 1944, to Washington where
he worked for a government agency for two years,
and then to the University of Oklahoma. By this
time the colleague who had typed the first volumes
was too busy, and a local printer who had a special
typewriter undertook the job. The format was
improved by using photo offset instead of mimeographing.

X n 1941 a group of young scholars working in the
field of linguistics—the analysis of the structureand
functioning of languages as part of human behavior
—decided that they would like to have an outlet of
a new kind for the publication of reports of their researches. They were all members of the Linguistic
Society of America (founded in 1925), and had con-

12

Two years later Dr. Trager went back to Washington and again ran the journal from his study at
home, but continued the services of the Oklahoma
printer. In 1956 he came to Buffalo, and Studies in
Linguistics took on a new lease of life.
For most of the early years there was an annual
deficit, met twice by donations from colleagues, but
usually the deficit came out of the pocket of the
editor. At Buffalo he was able to secure assistance
from the University, and the budget of the Department of Anthropology and Linguistics carries a
small annual subvention for the publication.
In 1949 a series of supplements was started, the
Occasional Papers. There have been eight of these,

�by Trager and Felicia E.
Harben (now Mrs. Trager), is used as a text and
reference book; OP6, Phonetics: glossary and tables,
by Trager, has been sold widely for text use, and will
soon need reprinting. OPB, Sign language of the
America deaf, by Wm. A. Stokoe, is an epoch making
work in its field.
The journal and the OPs, since coming to Buffalo,
have had stiff paper covers, in a bright blue, with an
imprinted masthead with a circular monogram of
SIL. Articles on any linguistic subject are printed,
and reviews are published, as well as bibliographies
and periodic indexes. The circulation is small, but
includes a very large proportion of universities and
other libraries. Production of the journal is largely
a labor of love, done at the University. The Department has a typewriter with changeable type, so that
all kinds of special characters are available. Plates
are typed and proofed at the Department office.
They are sent out by the University print shop to be
photographed, and the journal is printed from the
films in Hayes Hall. Mailing is done by the Department.
Nobody has ever made any money from SIL (the
royalties on the OPs don't start until after costs
have been repaid!), but everybody connected with it
has always had a personal interest in it. The journal
has published some highly controversialarticles, and
no issue of it goes unnoticed among linguists. One
reason is that the editor has always reserved the
right to add comments in footnotes to articles, and
these often start theoretical fireworks.

by special grants, and SIL acquires some revenue
from their sale. These monographs, ranging from
eight to eighty pages, are 6x9 inches in size. The
journal itself is B%xll page size, and subscriptions
cost $3 a volume (usually two issues in one year, but

i. he quarterly journal, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, was published by the University
of Buffalo from 1940 until June 1961, under the
editorship of Marvin Farber. It was the historical
successor of Edmund Husserl's famous Jahrbuch
fur Philosophic und Phanomenologische Forschung,
which suspended publication with the coming of
Hitler in 1933. Although the journal continued to
publish articles on phenomenology, italso functioned
as a general organ of philosophical research. Space
was provided for articles and discussions representing the various major trends of philosophic thought,
in all countries. Notable symposia on meaning and
truth, probability, and educational philosophy were
published, as well as the proceedings of two InterAmerican congresses. The journal was sent to more
than 60 countries, and was available in all important
universities and libraries. Now that Dr. Farber has
moved to the University of Pennsylvania, the
journal will be published there.

�CATALOGING THE COACHES■Autumnal madness they call itAugust 30th, the date upon which
the 50-60 Varsity hopefuls report to
campus for an evening meal, room
assignments and squad meeting. The

morning of August 31st is devoted
to equipment issue while the afternoon is reserved for press and University photographers.
September Ist is usually the day
that commences two-a-day workouts

fT^HE FINAL PLAYS of the last footJ_ ball game are eating up the clock
as AlAlumnus and Fred Fan give in
to the wishes of their better halves
and head for the car to beat the
Saturday twilight rush for home.
There are lots of things to do—like
feeding the kids, bathing the kids,
bedding the kids and greeting the
"sitter" before the evening's social

commitments.
There's one pause on the way to
the parking lot just long enough
to shake the hand of the head coach
and mentally wish they had this
guy's job. After all. there are just
nine or ten games and then he can

were three sessions at 6:00 A.M.,

with the players during the preseason weeks which brings on added
duties and loneliness for their
families.

Offenhamer, Ron Laßocque, Bob
Deming. Jim Royer, Buddy Ryan
and Dewey Wade constitute a yearround team whose hiring, firing,
training, manufacturing, sales, accounting andmarketing activitiesare

two-month period. What of the rest
of their schedule ?
During the academic year, Dick
Offenhamer bears the duties of Assistant Professor of Physical Educa-

tion while his assistants conduct
classes as instructors in Physical

Education.

Perhaps the best place to begin is

As for the season itself, there are
nine or ten consecutive weeks of sunshine, rain. snow. hail, ulcers, nervousness, hotel accommodations, planes,
trains, busses and assorted joys and
jolts about which too much has already been written. Oh yes, we must
not forget the all-day. Sunday meetings of the coaches to view the (ilms
of Saturday's game.
When the season ends -won. lost

meeting for the next season is held
during the first Monday morning,
because that's the kind of organizer

of which few fans ever hear.

Well, we've run the gamut of
annual activity and, excepting the
banquet trail, it has all been daytime

duty. During practice periods every
player and every coachattends strategy meetings every night

when two or three of the coaches

�A FAMOUS
ALUMNUS
lord o'beian once described himself as a
plain "work-a-day lawyer who has stuck to the
lawfor better or worse," but thefact is he is a leading
authority on constitutional law who has argued
cases before the Supreme Court for more than five
decades and served a string of federal posts under
five different presidents, bothRepublican and Dem-

tohn

t)

ocratic administrations.
Born in the old First Ward in Buffalo in 1874
where his family had lived since early in the century,
John received his early education at Central High
School where he later taught while attending the
Law School. He graduated from Harvard University
in 1896,and returned to his native city for his law
studies. He received his degree in 1898, and began
practice in the firm, O'Brian and Hamlin.
Throughout his practice he has been called upon
to wear the robe of public service. He served as US
Attorney, Western New York, under Presidents
TheodoreRoosevelt, Taft and Wilson. During World
War I he became head of the War Division of the
Department of Justice, responsible for espionage
trials, internment of alien enemies, the complete control of the process of arrest in conspiracies, and close
connection with the secret service. It was during
this time that he appointed J. Edgar Hoover to his
first job in the justice department. In 1929 he was
named Ist assistant in charge of anti-trust prosecution by President Hoover.
His most famous case concerned the Tennessee
Valley Authority which Franklin D. Roosevelt's
New Deal lost in a district court. The President
asked him to defend the government's position in the
Circuit Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court. He
won a tremendous victory. As David Lawrence wrote
(Feb. 19, 1936) "The TVA decision marks the beginning of the end of "brain trust lawyers". For the
New Deal won because it hired as a special counsel
a man who knew the law and the constitution, and
he was invitedinto the case notwithstanding thefact
that he was a Republican and an appointee of President Hoover, namely John Lord O'Brian of Buffalo,
N. Y."
During World War 11,President Roosevelt recalled the prominent attorney again to Washington, this
time to serve as general counsel to the War Production Board.

16

It was for this outstanding job that Mr. O'Brian
received one of his most impressive honors in a long
list, the Medal of Merit for service to country.
Among his other awards are the Chancellor's
Medal, presented to him in 1940,"not for a specific
act or a single accomplishment, but for a life of
eminent service to City, State, and Nation which has
justly brought you high personal distinction and has
dignified Buffalo in the eyes of the world". Just
eleven years later, the General Alumni Board presented the Samuel Paul Capen Award of which he
has always been very proud. It seems he had been
chairman of the Committee which persuaded Chancellor Capen to come to Buffalo in 1920,and he felt
it a very great honor to receive the Award named
for Dr. Capen.
Renowned as an educator having served on the
Board ofRegents, New York State, for eleven years,
a member of the University Council for twenty-six
years, and the Board of Overseers of Harvard University for four years, Mr. O'Brian has received
honorary degrees from various institutions of higher
learning, among them Harvard, Yale, Hobart, Syracuse, Brown, and Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute.
He taught medical jurisprudence in the Medical
School for ten years, and insurance, in the Law
School for fourteen years. In 1955 he delivered the
famous Godkin Lectures at Harvard University.
Although John Lord O'Brian has taken up permanent residence in Washington, and is a member of
the firm Covington &amp; Burling, he still represents his
alma mater at various inaugurations of university
presidents, and his many friends can count on seeing
his name in the headlineswherever they are located.
Just last year the Fellows of the American Bar Association honored him for fifty years of service to
the nationand world, and he and his wife, theformer
Alma E. White, celebrated their Golden Anniversary
not so long ago. They have five children, thirteen
grandchildren, and five great grandchildren.
An editorial in the Buffalo Evening News, (June
6,1946) best sums up thisfamous alumnus: "Among
the distinguished company to receive honorary degrees at Harvard University's 295th commencement
was JohnLord O'Brian of Buffalo. Others were Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, Gen. H. H. Arnold, Gen.
Alexander A. Vandergrift and Admiral Chester W.
Nimitz. Honorary degrees inabsentia were awarded
to Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Gen. George C.
Marshall...
"John Lord O'Brian belonged in that company.
He has had a long and honorable career as a lawyer,
a leader in civic enterprises and a public servant in
two wars".

Law alumni meet
Ground work has been laid for revitalizing the Law Alumni Association.
Approximately 22 representatives of
various Law classes met with Dean
Hyman and Mr. Siekmann to consider
the reorganization.

Current advances in the Law School
plus changes to come with the merger
of the University with the State were
discussed by the Dean. One important
change mentioned, for example, was
the growth of the School and the possibility of a move to the Campus. He
estimated that within five or six years,

enrollment would reach 250 students
(present figures are 180).
With all the foreseen changes, the
Dean called for a closer knit alumni
group. It was suggested that a general
meeting be held later this Fall for the
purpose of celebrating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the School,
and getting the reaction of more
alumni in regard to the reorganization.

LILLIAS M. MACDONALD
The University's first dean ofwomen,
Lillias M. Macdonald, 75, died August
27, 1961 in Millard Fillmore Hospital
after a long illness. A native of Buffalo,
Miss Macdonald was dean from 1922
to 1952. Until 1956 she was assistant to
the director of alumni relations.
It was during her tenure as dean that
Miss Macdonald advocated the establishment of residence halls. When she
retired, ground was broken for the first
dormitory, named in her honor, the
Lillias M. Macdonald Residence Hall
for Women.
"With her passing," said Dr. Claude
E. Puffer, Vice-Chancellorfor Business
Affairs and Treasurer, "Macdonald
Residence Hall becomes a memorial to
a woman who devoted her life and all
her energies to the education and welfare of the young .This belovedmember of the university family will always
be with us in spirit."

backs. For this is reading that will do more than any
coaching courses to improve test scores
and itwill
at the same time improve preparation for college
studies, which coaching courses do not do.

(Continuedfrom page6)
of enlarged demandfor higher education.Evenwhen
they offer programs which a few years ago would not
have been considered as college work, they do so in
response to demand. And the demand is increasing.
Total enrollment in higher education in 1970will be
about double that of today, and it may well be that
this type of institution will account for from onethird to one-half of that total. The number and size
of these institutions will increase, and they will become widely distributed throughout the country,
instead of being concentrated on the Pacific coast
and in the Middle West as they are now. Thus in
1970it will still be possible for any student to enter

2. The needfor parents to make financial preparation for college.
College is a costly business. The preferred colleges
cost about $3,000 a year, and of course this comes
out of net income after taxes have been paid. For
most families with children in college, it represents
gross income of at least $4,000. Referring back to the
average span of six years' attendance for students
who enter a preferred college, the family of such a
student must dedicate $24,000 of gross income for
his college expenses.
Notlong ago, a survey showed that half of a group
of parents who expected their children to go to college did not know the costs of college and were not
making any preparations to meet those costs. The
lesson is obvious. Parents who are notready to deal
with college costs are failing in a vital area of support. Urging a child to study so that he can get a
scholarship may pay off, but it is a poor substitute
for a family plan for the financing of the child's
education.
3. The need to choose a college in terms of the
child's abilities and interests.
Much is made of the problem of choosing colleges,
and great effort goes into the process of choice. But
theresults, if judged by the turmoil thatattends the
annual selections, fall far short of expectations. The
difficulty seems to lie in the placing of emphasis on
the college, not the student. When the application
is sent in, the parent often knows more about the
merits of the college to which the application is going
than he doesabout the applicant as an applicant.
Naturally it is difficult for a parent to be objective
about his own child.But enough is now known about
evaluating abilities and achievements that any parent who really wants to may view his child as the
childwill be viewed by the college. Such an evaluation is neither so difficult nor so time consuming as
the processes parents often go through in evaluating
colleges. And since it relies on standard academic
information, it involves little or no cost. Yet itsvalue
is inestimable. For if the choice of college is made in
terms of the child's capabilities, the first and most
important step has been taken toward placing the
childin the college that seems best for him. And this
in turn is the best for him. And this in turn is the
best insurance for a successful college career.

college.
To Sum up, then, the answer to our first
question is that a student's chances of getting into college are excellent provided
that he is able and willing to do what is
necessary to prepare himselffor the college
he would like to enter, or that he is willing
to enter the college that is willing to accept
him.
Let's Turn now to our second question:
What can I as a parent do to improve my
child's chances of getting into the college
that seems best for him?
This is one of the standard, rather heavy questions
for which there are already available a great many
standard, rather heavy answers, dealing with the
desirability of the good life, the need for stableparents and othervalid but unenlightening pronouncements. But some of the problems raised by this
question do not yield to standard answers. Three
such problems, or needs, deserve our attention:
1. The needfor parents to promote thinking,
learning and reading.
Colleges, particularly the preferred colleges, are
bookish places. They emphasize reading and discussion as stimuli to learning and thinking instead of
stressing note-taking and the study of text-books to
accumulate facts. College entrance tests are built in
part to measurereading skills. And the studentwith
the habit of reading will do better work in college
than the student who relies on studying text books
and memorizing facts.
The habit of reading is mostly easily formed at
home. It can be formed by the presence and discussion of books. This means, for example, that the fifty
dollars that parents often spend on coaching for college entrance tests can better be spent over two years
in the collection of fifty or sixty "highbrow" paper-

. ..

PSYCHIATRIC TREATMENT has become quite acceptable, if not
fashionable, in some groups in the past years. However while many
people have come to heed the danger signals in disturbed adults,
especially in the later years, it is still not recognized that mental problems can arise at any age. Thus many children who suffer from serious maladjustments are not given the care they require. To helpyou
understand the functioning of a child psychiatric clinic, Dr. Albert
V. Cutter, the chief psychiatrist and medical director of the United
Fund supported agency, The Psychiatric Clinic, 57 Linwood Ave.,
explains in the following pages the process of diagnosis and treatment of an eleven-year old neurotic child, named Sally
The
Psychiatric Clinic, Inc. has been in operation since 1937. The present
phase of clinic work began in 1951 when Dr. Cutter set about the
re-organization and development of the clinic. A staff has been built
up to include a part-time psychiatrist; David Hallowitz as Chief
Psychiatric Social Worker (Assistant Director); and two staff caseworkers; with Shepard Goldberg, Ph. D. as Chief Clinical Psychologist

�and one staff psychologist. The clinic is affiliated with the University
of Buffalo Schools of Medicine, Social Work, and Psychology for
teaching and training. In addition, the clinic is recognized by the
American Association of Psychiatric Clinics for Children as a training clinicfor child psychiatrists. To meet this qualification, the clinic

schools, social agencies, and others, or parents may apply on their
own. Children of all ages are accepted. There is no lower age limit.
The upper age limit is sixteen to seventeen years. The symptoms
most commonly stated on referral are poor school achievement despite adequate intelligence, a host of bodily symptoms for which no
physical basis can be found, temper tantrums and rebellious behavior, anti-social acting out (delinquency), soiling beyond the expected
age, bedwetting, night terrors and other sleep disturbances, tics and
mannerisms, speech disturbances. These and manyother symptoms
are seen in various combinations.
There are many variations
in the arrangements for cases for diagnosis and treatment. These
vary from that of the child (usually an adolescent) being seen in
individual treatment while the parents may not be seen very infrequently, to where the parents and child are seen together with a
therapist in a family unit treatment process. The approach presented
in the case of Sally and her parents is a common one. The clinic offers,
also, a parent (as couples) group treatment program. If in the course
of diagnosis it is felt that additional studies are needed, for example,
speech and hearing diagnosis, neurological examination, brain wave
tracing, X-rays, blood studies and so forth, referral is made to physicians and to hospital laboratories and clinics.
The clinic is available to any parent in the community. The average fee is $5.00 per
family per week. This fee is decided after discussion of the family's
present income and financial commitments, and in weighing the
possible length of time they need to come to the clinic.

CHILD

Sally was given a group of toys
and asked to use them in
telling an exciting story. Dr.
Cutter, the chief psychiatrist
of the Clinic, listens as Sally
shows imagination and ability
in creating a family situation.

�The parents tell of their bewilderment with Sally's symptoms.
They had tried to be understanding, at times became very
frustrated and angry, at times they ignored, coaxed, bribed,
and tried force. The social worker, psychologist, and
psychiatrist analyse the entire family environment.

Y HEAD hums and I get stomachaches and feel
"I\/T
IVJ. sick most every morning. My mother says it's

because I'm afraid of something at school. Sometimes I get sick and can't go."
The foregoing was Sally's response to the question
of why her mother and father had come with her to
The Psychiatric Clinic, Inc. Sally, an eleven year old
girl, was being seen in a neuropsychiatric consultation as part of the clinic's determination of how to
be helpful to her and her family.
Throughout this one and one-half hour interview,
as long as
Sally was very friendly and talkative
the psychiatrist talked with her about her likes at
play, her hobbies, her brother and sister.When questions or comments related to her motherand father,
or to school and going away from the home, she
became quiet, anxious, and said little. Her mood
was depressed. At one point in the interview, she
said that her head hurt like it did mornings.
Sally was given a group of toys and asked to use
these in telling an exciting story. She showed excellent imagination and ability in using the toys and in
telling the story. Her story was as follows: "The
mother is in the kitchen getting supper ready. The
children are playing in the living room and now
the father comes home. He sits inthis chair. He says,
'I feel very tired.I hurtright here (points to chest).
Run and tell your mother'. When the little girl and
the mother come into the livingroom, thefather has
fallen out of the chair. The mother runs out of the
house to get help, but gets bit by this car. She is

little girl to the hospital. He had a heart clot and
nearly died. But he got well and the mother got well
and the children were happy."
Sally was given a physical and neurological examination to rule out possible medical problems.
Sally's mother called the clinic on therecommendation of the school teacher. In talking with one of
the social workers on the phone, Mrs. S. related that
the school was concerned because of Sally's poor
attendance in recent months, her complaining frequently of headachesand of feeling sick. She tended
to become very quiet, to have no spirit, and was unable to do her schoolwork. A bright girl, Sally was
dependable and a leader in her fifth grade class.
Now, over half way through the sixth grade, Sally
seemed unable to function. The teacher tried very
hard to understand and to help Sally, but to no
avail. After the return to school after the recent
Christmas holidays, Sally began to complain of the
headaches, stomach aches, and feeling sick. The holiday season, according to the mother, had been extremely pleasant for Sally and for thefamily. Thus,
she was at a loss to account for the onset of the
symptoms. These were present when Sally faced

going to school, to Sunday School, to parties, out to
play with friends, and when it was suggested that
sherun errands to the neighborhood store. She went
easily to visit grandparents, but remained close to
her parents and refused to go out and play with her
brother and sister and cousins.
The parents were bewildered bySally's symptoms.
Theyhad tried to be understanding, at timesbecame
very frustrated and angry, at times they ignored,
coaxed, bribed and had tried force. When the parents asked Sally what seemed to be the matter, she
responded simply, "I don't know."

�HELP FOR THE DISTURBED CHILD
The social worker requested that the mother have
reports from the family physician and the school
teacher sent to the clinic. When these were received,
the appointment for the consultation was arranged.
While Sally met with the child psychiatrist, the
parents were seen in consultation with a staff social
worker. With the prehminary information at hand,
the social worker helped the parents to talk over
aspects of the present illness, important events in
their and Sally's lives, and possible factors which
might have contributed to the upset.

Uncovering Sally's past...
Birth and early development were said to have
been normal. At around five years of age, Sally went
through a period of eight months in which she was
excessively afraid of the dark and caused a parent
to lie down with herwhile she went to sleep. Following frequent terrifying dreams, she slept in the parents' bedroom. Several times Sally ran in from play
as iffrightened by something. This period of disturbance coincided with the birth of Susan, now five
years old. The mother had been very ill during this
pregnancy and spent considerable time in bed. A
few weeks after the birth, the mother had had inflammation of the liver, was jaundiced, and hospitalized several times for possible surgeryfor small gall
stones which she continued to pass. She had not
felt "up to par" for years and had frequent tension
headaches.
Sally cried and pleaded not to go tokindergarten.
For a few days she refused to go. After a week or so,
her upset ceased and she seemed to make a happy
adjustment. While in the second grade, she had the
measles. For a few days after returning to school,
she complained of not feeling well and again requested to stay at home. This over, she seemed to accept
going to school, and showed no evidence of fears.
Thefather, forty-three yearsof age, had attended
night school from time to time, trying thus to complete his college degree. He worked under terrific
pressure as a salesclerk and part-time department
manager. Two years back, he had been hospitalized
for a possible heart attack. Extensive studies failed
to show heart disease. The physician felt that the
symptoms were on the basis of emotional stress.
This year, during the sales rush between Thanksgiving and Christmas, he had again had symptoms.
These were again on the increase in the few weeks
prior to coming to the clinic for the consultation.
Mrs. S. was very concerned, but had been unable to
persuade him to go to the doctor. He refused, saying
that he was sure that the symptoms were due to his
worry and concern about Sally. The parents could
see no relationship between their health problems
and the symptoms shown by Sally. Rather, they

Dr. Goldberg, the clinical psychologist, analyses Sally's
personality through the Rorschach test, in which she is
supposed to tellwhat is suggested to her by a series of ink
blot designs of various shapes. The responses are
then analysed and interpreted. When the evaluation is
completed, the staff meets in conference, discussing the
total family and arriving at recommendations.

related, Sally seemed to really blossom when one or

the other of the parents was sick. She, in a very mature way, took on many responsibilities and seemed
adult.
Further, the father and mother could see no basis
for the disturbance in Sally, as arising from their
relationship with each other or with Sally. They had
a very happy marriage despite the hardships arising
from the illnesses.

Diagnosing her case...
At the close of the consultation, the psychiatrist
and the social worker met to discuss the case and to
decide on next steps. The opinion expressed was that
Sally was suffering from a childhood neurosis as a
result of her parents who reacted to stress in neuro-

�home. On her second visit to the clinic, she refused
to go alone with the psychologist and her mother

accompanied her to the office. The mother sat just
outside of the office. Sally called to her several times
and if the mother failed to respond immediately, the
child bounded out of the office to reassure herself
that the mother was there.

On tests designed to get a picture of personality,
Sally was very guarded and seemingly dealt with
them in a matter offact way. She gave very few responses to the ink blots. She refused cards where she
could not think of an immediate response. She threw
one card aside, stating, "It's not a picture of anything. It's just a mess."

On the picture story-telling test, she refused several cards and her stories generally were bland. The
psychologist noted how tenaciously Sally tried to
hide her feelings and to maintain control when stimulated by the pictures. She told of her dislike for
horror movies, of her avoidance of T-V programs
which showedviolence and death.

Helping her

On Sally's personality test, she was very guarded. She gave
few responses to the ink blots, refused cards when she
couldn't think of a response immediately, and threw
one card away, saying, "It's not a picture of anything. It's
justa mess." The Clinic offered the parents a treatment
program, and play therapy for Sally. After 16 months,
recovery was complete.

tic patterns and with physical symptoms. A full
psychological evaluation was recommended to determine Sally's intelligence, to determine what the
existent emotional problems were doing to her use
of her intelligence, to find out if there were any
specific learning disabilities, and to assess aspects
of the emotional disturbance.

Studying her personality

...

Sally met with a clinical psychologist in a series
offive weekly interviews. A variety of psychological
tests were administered. She had bright normal intelligence, but was very erratic in performance because of her anxiety. In theface of threat to possible
failure on test items, she became tremulous, cried,
said that she was not feeling well, and asked to go

recover...

The evaluation completed, the clinic diagnosticians met in conference to discuss the total family
and to arrive at recommendations. The findings of
the clinical psychologist confirmed the impressions
of the psychiatrist and added further understandings of Sally and her relationship to her parents.
There was unanimous agreement that the clinic
should offer to the parents a treatment program for
themselves and play therapy for Sally. Inaddition,
there would be a contact with the school to help
the teacher to better understand Sally. The family
doctor would be informed of the findings and the
suggestion madethat he place Sally on mildmedication to allay her anxiety and to improve her sleep
pattern.
The diagnosticians met with the parents to discuss thefindings andrecommendations. The parents
were beginning to see a relationship between the
birth of the children, their own illnesses, and the
phobic patterns presented by Sally. They also evidenced an awareness that the more upset they had
becomeabout Sally, the more her anxieties mounted
and the more serious the symptoms became. This
frightened the parents more and their own physical
symptoms increased. The parents had noted that
when one or the other of them was sick, Sally was
upset, and tended to keep herself extremely busy

�HOME SWEET HOMECOMING
I found when just a college lad,
Homecoming games quite sporting
But it amused me more to watch
The old Alums cavorting.

They'd cheer each play and dance each dance
Their bald heads shining brightly;
Just prior to collapse they'd say
"Excuse me," most politely.
Next dawning they seemed good as new
If suffering, they hid it;
And now that I am one of them
I don't see how they did it.
So will I skip the Big Weekend
With perspicacious prudence?
No Sir! I always thought Alums
Had lots more fun than students.

�YOUR CHILD PREPARES
FOR COLLEGE

Not Long ago,
the head of a large testing agency told college educated parents of college bound students: "Enough
is now known about evaluating individual abilities
and achievements so that any parent who really
wants to may view his child as the child will be
viewed by the college."
Now this advice seems to be sound and simple.
After all, you do receive regular reports from schools
on your child's achievement in each subject. National agencies which offer standardized tests
provide with the individual test results a manual of
interpretation, so that you may know not only your
child's scores, but how these compare with state or
national groups of students.
You and your child can also discover through
material in the school guidance office information on
the range of test scores in freshman classes at many
colleges.
In spite of all this information, you can't think
as an Admission Committee thinks, you can't outguess an Admission Committee, and if you try you
may expose your child and yourself to needless

disappointment.
This counsel to think as an Admission Committee
thinks reminds me of the advice I received once in
a deer hunting lodge on the night before the opening
of the deer season, when a veteran deer hunter explained to me that "the way to get a deer is to think
like a deer." His elaboration of this philosophy was

so convincing that I asked and received permission
to hunt with him the next day. What a time we had!

He studied the wind, the ground, the trails, and
then he explained to me how with such weather
conditions the deer would probably do this. He stationed me on one old log and he went in another
direction.
To make a long story short, I heard a lot of
shooting around me; I saw a few deerkilled by other
hunters, but the expert and I never saw a deer. Apparently some deer were thinking as humans think.
Here are some of the reasons why you can't think
as an Admission Committee thinks:
1. Admission Committees act differently each
year according to the quantity and "quality" of applicants and the needs of the institutions involved.
The ever swelling host of candidates has brought
rapid changes in admission standards at every
institution.
2. The weight given marks and test scores varies
so much among institutions that even veteran school
counselors hesitate to make firm predictions on individual cases. I have heard admission officers for
Yale, Wellesley and Harvard state that test scores
do not have the importance they once had in selection procedures. The reason is that at the most
popular institutions too many candidates look alike
when measured by either marks or test scores.
3. You can't know from year to year how much
weight admission committees will give to certain

�other factors: i.e., school and geographical distribution, extra-curricular achievement in art, music,
drama, sports or community service, and occupational choice (some institutions limit the number in
a class who want medicine, engineering, math or
science).

4. You may be able to understand the strengths
and weaknesses of your college bound child, but you
can't know the quantity and quality of the other
candidates at the college chosen by your child. At
co-educational colleges girls often meet higher
competitive admissions standards than boys—and
within a university some schools have higher
entrance requirements than others.
Whether your child is accepted or rejected at any
college depends not only on his credentials, but even
more on how his credentials compare with those of
the other applicants.
What then can you dowhen you want to help your
child prepare for college when you want to guide
your child to an institution that will stimulate him
fully?

—

This program should be started as soon as your
child begins to talk and read.
Most children are born with a full measure of
curiosity. They want to know what is going on about
them and, as you know, the early years are filled
with "What?" and "Why?" and "Where?"
If you have the time and the patience to answer
these questions, you will nourish this curiosity that

is the tap root of all learning. Only the curious learn.
Your child won't be many years old before you
will encounter the first question you can't answer.
You can shrug your shoulders and say, "Go away
and stop bothering me." or "I don't know." or "Let's
find out."
If you have the time and patience to lead your
child in his probe of the unknown, in his search for
knowledge, you will encourage the maintenance of
a habit of inquiry. You may also rediscover for
yourself the fun of learning.
But this nourishment of curiosity means that a
mother cannot be too occupied with community
affairs, social teas or bridge parties, and that on
some mornings she may have to leave the beds
unmade or the dishes unwashed until naptime, and
Dad may have to miss a golf game. Priorities must
be established.
Today there are so many forces working against
the development and maintenance of curiosity in a
child, forces likethe radio, television,the automobile
and hundreds of sporting events. All too often curiosity is throttled by spectatoritis, by parents who
are too busy, and even, alas, by the rigidities of the
school system and the desire of teachers to cover a
certain amount of material so that students will do
well on their tests.

Yourreading will supplement his reading and your
learning will mesh with his so that you will be in a
position to stimulate his further learning by your
answers to his questions. Learning becomes even
more fun when it is shared by all members of the
family.

12

�Your Child
Prepares
The child who isa natural reader presents no great

problems. If your family includes a non-reader you
have a special problem, but one which can sometimes
be solved by introducing him to books which feed his
natural interests. A librarian will help you select
books which dealwith baseball,with the mechanical
world, with birds or animals, and, later on, books
on electronics, chemistry, music or art. Once your
child has learned the fun of reading in the field of
bis special interest, there is a chance that he can be
led into an exploration of other fields.
You may wonder at this point why I have said
nothing about marks and test scores. The omission
of these two tyrannies is intentional. When learning is in its rightful place, marks and test scores
follow learning. Today so much emphasis is placed
on the difficulty of winning admission to college and
on the importance of tests and marks that all too
often marks and tests have become the goals of
learning rather than the by-products. When marks
and test scores are madethe primary target of learning, real learning is lost.
The school report cards give you an opportunity
to place marks in proper perspective. Instead of
asking "What did you get?", try, "What have you
learned?"

An approach like this as preparation for college
helps your childto understand that learning is some-

thing he doeswhere he is and that all about him are

people and books which will help him learn. Under

such a program your child will see that bis understanding of the world does not depend on whether
he is in Boston, or in San Francisco, or in Yankton,
but on how much advantage he takes of the opportunities around him. If your child is reared in this
manner, neitherhe nor you will worry about whether
he gets into Harprice, Dartyale or Calford, but only

for

College
that he gets to a college where he can talk to teachers, where he can read books, where he can work in
the laboratory.
And now you may want to say, "Yes, but he may
not get into a good college. He may not get into the
best college. He may not get into my college."
Actually, no one knows what a good college is. No
one knows which colleges are best. Harvard does
have more graduates in Who's Who than any other
institution, but considering the human materialthat
has poured into Cambridge, Massachusetts, from
all over theworld for centuries, why doesn't Harvard
have twice as many graduates in Who's Who as it
does? Harvard could be doing a very poor job educationally and yet seem to be the top educational
institution because of the intellectual drive and
ability of the students who go there.
The head of the Department of Religion at Yale
University is not a Yale man. He camefrom Dakota
Wesleyan. Thehead ofall health services at Harvard
is not a Harvard man. He came from the University
of West Virginia. The former president of Princeton
was not a Princeton man, but a graduate of Grove
City College in Pennsylvania. The misery and torture of today's college admission comes because
parents have taught their children to think that
learning is a matter of geography; that learning can
take place only incertain institutions.
The wise parent who has created in his child a
desire to learn will approach the whole problem of
college admission with one philosophy: "Go where
you can get in, my son, andknow that a great opportunity awaits you to discover more about people,
more about ideas, more about things—more knowledge than you will ever master in the four years
you are in college".
When this approach to college admission is taken
by an entire family there can he no heartbreaking
letters in the mail, no crushed egos, nothing but
delight at any letter that brings news ofaacceptance,
news than an adventure inlearning liesahead.

�Fifth in a series devoted to recognizing achievements of Alumni
Time referred toAmerican Medical Association
President Charles Gordon Heyd
as Canada-born and educated
(Nov. 9, 1936), Bill Cook, then
alumni secretary, rushed offa kind
letter to set everyonestraight: "It
is true that Dr. Heyd was graduated from the University of Toronto in 1905, but he later entered
the University of Buffalo,received
his doctor's degree there in 1909,
and since has pursued a career of
which both his Alma Maters are
justly proud."
"As a student, he sat at the feet
of such greats and near-greats as
Charles Cary (medicine), Matthew
D. Mann (obstetrics and gynecology), Roswell Park (surgery),
Herbert U. Williams (bacteriology
and pathology), Delancey Rochester (medicine), James A. Gibson
(anatomy), Lucien Howe (opthalmology), Grover and Ernest
Wende (dermatology), Irving M.
Snow (pediatrics) and John Lord
O'Brian (medical jurisprudence)."
Not since that time has anyone
forgotten that Dr. Heyd studied
at the University of Buffalo. He
has made sure of that himself for
throughout his career as a surgeon
and teacher, he has given unstintingly of his time to hisalma mater.
He established the NewYork City
Area Alumni Club and was its
first representative to the General
Alumni Board. He has served as
trustee of the School of Medicine
Alumni Association, and during
the Centennial Fund Campaign
and the Development Program
Campaign he was a leader and
worker in New York City.
Following graduation, Dr. Heyd
took graduate work at Harvard
and Johns Hopkins hospitals; in
the summer of 1913 he studied in
London and Vienna. He served his
internship on a two-year general
rotating service at the New York
Post-Graduate Hospital. In 1912

he became the first surgical resident there, the next year he was a
lecturer in surgery, then he was
appointed head of the Department
of Surgery on the Cadaver, and in
1917 he was named adjunct attending surgeon. After three and a
half years in the practice of surgery, he entered the Army with the
rank of captain, served inthe Picardy, Marne, Argonne and St.
Mihiel campaigns, and was honorably discharged with the rank of
major in January, 1919. He was
the commanding officer of Mobile
Hospital No. 7 at the time he
finished his war service.
He returned to New York and
re-entered the practice of surgery
and in 1923 became a member of
theBoard of Trustees of the New
York Post-Graduate Medical
School
Columbia University,
and was appointed attending surgeon and professor of surgery in
the same institution,a post he still
holds. He is also consulting surgeon Women's Hospital, NYC;
Greenwich Hospital, Greenwich,
Conn.; Dover General Hospital,
Dover, N. J.; Morristown Memorial Hospital, Morristown, N. J.,
and Midtown Hospital, NYC. Dr.
Heyd has published in various
medical journals of the United
States and abroad over 130 surgical papers, dealing largely with
disease of the gall bladder, colon,
goiter, and infections of the neck,
and many contributions on the
economicand social aspects of the
practice of medicine.
He was co-author of "Outline of
Preventive Medicine," 1922, and
was co-author with Dr. Ward J.
MacNeal and John A. Killian of
"The Liver and Its Relation to

—

Chronic Abdominal Infection"
which was given as a Baaumont
Foundation Lecture, at Detroit,
Michigan 1924. In 1932he was the
chairman of the Delegation from
the United States to the International Congress on Gall Bladder
Disease, held in Vichy, France.
His chief contribution, however,
was in his observation and elaboration of a clinical concept "Liver
Deaths" —an hepato-renal syndrome." This contribution refers
to deaths taking place after operation on the biliary tract or following a traumatic injury to the liver.
Dr. Heyd was the first to advance
the concept of "liver deaths" as a
post-operative complication.
Aside from his professional
work, Dr. Heyd has been very
much interested in the organization phases of medicine and surgery and served with distinction
as officers in the following organizations: Editor, New York PostGraduate Medical Journal during
1912-14; vice-president, American
College of Surgeons; treasurer,
president, Medical Society of the
State of New York; president,
Medical Society of the County of
New York; president, Canadian

Society.
Among the honors Dr. Heyd
hasreceived are: Legion of Honor,
France, in 1932; honorary degree
of doctor of medical science,
Temple University, 1937; LLD,
University of Toronto, 1953.
Twice the University has honored Charles Gordon Heyd. The
first time was in 1951when he was
presented a citation in medicine.
Three years later he received the
Capen Award which is the highest
award presented to an alumnus
from the General Alumni Board.

Official calendar for year

The official University Calendar for 1962-63 has been
adopted. It continues the two semester pattern that has
characterized the University's academic year in the past
but makes modifications in the beginning and ending
dates. By beginning classes shortly after Labor Day,
instruction can be completed prior to Christmas recess
and students will take final examinations immediately

following that recess.
Second semester will begin on January 18 and the
semester will end prior to Decoration Day. Commencement in 1963 will be on June 2.
An extended Summer Session is provided for in both
1962 and 1963 so as to enable students on an optional

basis to accelerate their programs.

FOR THE DISTURBED CHILD

that her daughter would become a very emotional
girl. Shefelt badly because they had not sought help
when Sally was five years old. However, repeatedly
through the years, just as the mother reached the
point of taking the step toward seeking help, Sally
would seem better. She felt that the same might
have happened again had not the school and the
family doctor insisted upon the parents looking into

the matter.
The parents were greatly relieved that there was
no evidence of serious mental illness and that the
prognosis was seen as very hopeful. They readily
accepted the treatment plan.
After a brief waiting period (two weeks) during
which clinic arrangements were made and during
which Sally was started on medication, therapy began as

planned.

Both parents

—

child receive therapy

The motherand father met together with a therapist and became the more deeply involved in further
consideration of their emotional health problems.
At first Sally was extremely inhibited in weekly
play therapy interviews. She spoke very little, appeared dejected, and sat in a chair, head bowed.
However, after several weeks she showed a lessening
of her inhibitionand depression, aided by the medication and the familiarity with the clinic and the
psychiatrist. She was attending school regularly
even though she complained of headachesand a queer
feeling inher stomach. She began talking about nonupsetting happenings and soon began to play with
doll furniture and doll figures, much as she had in
acting out the exciting scene during the consultation. The theme of doll play from week to week
showed marked preoccupation with illness and injuries of adults. Subtly, the child's feelings about
these hurts to adults began to be expressed with
Sally occasionally personalizing these feelings to
herself. The psychiatrist talkedabout the content of
play and helped her to understand her own feelings
and especially her fears. At one point, in reviewing
memories of the past, she recalled thatwhen she was
five or six years old, she had many frightening
dreams. She recognized the fact that it had been
about this time that Susan was born. She had hoped
that her mother would not go to the hospital to get
Susan. She saidthat Susan was a nuisance and made
her mother sick and caused her to go to the hospital.
Sally vaguely remembered that her mother was
sickly and "not much good to daddy. He had to do
most of the work. He was worried and I was sure

mommywould die. I helped him a lotwithPeter and
with dishes and with stuff. He said I was a good little
mother." The meaning of such content was talked
over with Sally, and she in turn talked these new
understandings over in great detailwith her parents.
After fourteen months of therapy, Sally showed
less need to play. The content of discussion shifted
gradually to considerations of practical problems of
everyday living. School report cards and teacher
comments showed that Sally was doing well. She
was now going everywhere andhad friends. One day,
after sixteen months of therapy, she seemed particularly bored. She was asked how much longer shefelt
that she needed to come to therapy. After brief discussion, it was mutually agreed that the end of
therapy had been reached.

�An alumnus, George M. Ellis, M.D. '45, writes the following anecdote

SIDELIGHTS

ON

EDWARD W.
KOCHMedical Dean 1918-46

with two sisters, Josepha and Leona
Hasmer. who are avid fans of the nearby
Cincinnati Reds. All three ladies do
volunteer work at the new50-bed hospital.
The Lawrenceburg High School had
science teachers in the early years of
the century who were destined to carve
noteworthy medical careers. Willis D.
Gatch, who was to become one of Halsted's select residents, a respected surgeon, and Dean of Indiana University
School of Medicine, resigned and told
the school board "You needn't look
farther for a replacement for me than
young Ed Koch in the graduating
class." He began teaching with considerable trepidation about the possibility
of having to discipline his friends and
recent fellow students. Rose Mary
Hassmer was one of his pupils during
his second year as pedagogist, and she
tells of many girls in his classes having
a crush on the young science teacher.
They were married some years later
when Doctor Koch was 35, working at
the time as a researcher for Eli Lilly
Company, Indianapolis. By then he had
graduated from Rush, served internships at Presbyterian Hospital in Chicago and Akron City Hospital, and been
instructor in Physiology and Pharmacology at Indiana University. Mrs.
Koch had graduated from Indiana University.

DOCTOR KOCH'S accomplishments
and attributes were adequately documented at the time of his death, particularly in memorial remarks by Doctors
Oliver Jones, Stockton Kimball, Russell Groh. A. H. Aaron, and Chancellor
Capen. Acquaintance with Mrs. Rose
Mary Koch, however, has disclosed
some facets which maybe of interest to
other middle-aged-and-older products
of the medical and dental schools.
Mrs. Koch lives in the brewing, distilling, and cooperage town of Lawrenceburg. Indiana, population 4,806,
hometown of bothshe and Doctor Koch,

18

During the early months of their
married life, Mrs. Koch encountered
difficulties with various pronunciations
of the name. Dr.Koch has two brothers
who still live in Lawrenceburg; his
mother died in 1956at the age of97; he
hasrelatives in Connersville (note location of author); and the family name is
pronounced "COOK". When Doctor
Koch made the trip from Indianapolis
to Buffalo to discuss the faculty appointment, Mrs. Koch toldhim, "Now,
Ed, you pay attention to the way they
first say our name and that is the pronunciation we'll adopt". Whenhe called

home from Buffalo her first question
was "What's our name?" It would have
been predictable that the erudite doctors of Buffalo referred to the applicant
as Doctor "COKE".
Doctor Koch arrived in Buffalo several months before the Armistice was
signed, at about the same time as did
Doctors Atwell and Youngburg. During
one of those early years Mrs. Koch's
teen-age brother came for a visit. One
afternoon brother and sister walked
from the Koch apartment on Allen
Street to meet the Pharmacology Professor. Waiting in front of the building
for Doctor Koch to appear, the boy
noticed the name of medical immortals
just under the pigeon roost
Pasteur,
Jenner, Virchow, Laennec, Koch, etc.
"Oh, Rose, Ithink it's wonderful! They
must like Ed around here! He hasn't
been here long and, look, they have his
name carved in stone on the medical
school already!" Doctor Koch was delighted by the humor of this misplaced

—

recognition.
The greatest day on Dean Koch's
calendar? Graduation Day. "That day

was inviolate." Mrs. Koch relates how
they would drive to the ceremony with
the diplomas on the front seat between
them. On the way he would repeat the
Oath of Hippocrates from memory.
Incidentally, it was an original, carefully-worded, modern and practical version of the Oath which has been rather
widely copied.
"Give me the B student," Dean Koch
used to say privately. "He'll go farther

and do more than the others."
Headmired the student who attained
amedical education in spite of obstacles,
but he always tried to treat all his
students fairly and without partiality
according to the late Dr. Kimball who
knew him as a student, a fellow teacher
of pharmacology, and as assistant dean.
Dean Koch has been gonefor fifteen
years. As was predicted at the time, his
influence is still living.

THE EARLY CAMPUS A quaint cottage, wed by
Erie County Hospital internes, was convertedto tbefirst
University Bookstore in 1922. The furnishings were
considered quite elegant. Then in 1927, a new store was
constructed. It opened Sept 17, and the first and only
sale for the day was $.15.

Nearby the Plimpton Tennis Courts were erected. They
were thefirst on Campus, and coat $6000. In 1953, the
Bookstore was moved to its present quarters in Norton,
and the long famous North Buffalo replica of the original
HollandLand Company building in Batavia became
the Faculty Club.

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

Hospital,

When

the Great Lakes, closed its doors
about twelve years, the fine Federal buildings at 2211 Main Street
became available for community
service. Through the foresight of
the late Dr. Stockton Kimball,
Dean of the Medical School, the
University of Buffalo obtainedthis
property to found a research institute devoted to the study of the
chronic diseases. Recognizing the
public health aspects of such an
institution, the New York State
Department of Health, through
Commissioner Herman E. Hilleboe, provided research grants
which made it possible to equip
laboratories and to obtain a staff
of research workers.
After a preliminary study of
community needs, the Institute
directed attention to the study of
the diseases of the heart, lungs,
and blood vessels. Within a short
time, a group of clinical, basic, and
applied scientists was brought together, specialized equipment was
designed and constructed, and a
coordinated research program for
the studyof hardeningof thearteries, high blood pressure, strokes,

heart attacks, and emphysema
was inaugurated. The mission of
the University of Buffalo Chronic
Disease Research Institute is to
carry out research which will improve early diagnosis, treatment,
and rehabilitation of disorders.
To this end, the Department of
Epidemiology of the Institute has
undertaken The Buffalo Health
Survey to examine the incidence
in Erie County of diseases which
come under our overall program.
Some of the readers of this Bulletin may already have been interviewed by our team of nurses,
scientists, and technical staff. This
survey will provide basic information concerning the prevalence of
heart disease, high bloodpressure,
andabnormal lung function. These
data will then be correlated with
factors such as occupation, diet,
and recreational patterns. Among
the questions which may be clarified by this study are these common ones: Does a high cholesterol
intake predispose to coronary attacks? Is there a relation between
cigarette smoking and obstructive
diseases of the lungs? Is high blood
pressure more likely to be present
in people whose salt hunger causes
them to salt their foods even
before tasting? When the interviewers, coders, and computing

machines have compiled the multitudinous data, the findings will
be applied in the field of preventive medicine.
Only a few years ago many
physicians believedthat heartand
artery diseases were an inevitable
concomitant of old age. However,
the disturbingly high incidence of
coronary disease during the productive fourth andfifth decades of
life suggested a specific disease,
rather than a "natural" process
of aging.
One theory which has been
widely accepted suggests that such
disorders arise from the culture in
which we live. Some of these cultural aspects are being examinedin
the laboratories for experimental
medicine in the Institute. Diets
containing various percentages of
fats and cholesterol are being fed
toanimals to determine the effects
of these materials on the blood
and blood vessels. The capacity of
defense mechanisms to cope with
these materials depends in part
on diet, as modified by hormonal
and other factors. The resultant
changes in the arteries which supply the heart muscle inthe experimental animals closely resemble
coronary artery disease in man.
Methods for human application
are being explored.

Chief biochemist, Dr. A. Nail Payza, and research physiologist, Esther
McCandless,share the results of many tedious hours of laboratory research.

The Institute also aids in various teaching programs
One of ourmajor interests isthe
study of the causes as well as the
effects of elevated blood pressure.
Blood vessels which are exposed

to higher than normal pressures
tend to increased rigidity, which
in turn raises the blood pressure
stillfurther. The vicious cycle thus
initiated probably contributes to
progressive damage of thevessels.
Anotherfacet of this study considers the effect of high pressures
on the heart. An elevatedpressure
increases the work load of the
heartand stiffens the arterial tree,
thus creating a primary problem,
namely, the factors which modify
the resistance to theflow of blood
through the very small arteries
and the smaller capillaries. The
ability of the heart to cope with
the work load placed upon it by
the blood pressure determines the
likelihood of heart failure. When
the heart fails, fluid accumulation
(dropsy) becomes evident. These
mechanisms are being examinedin
the physiology laboratories and in
the clinics.
The patterns of the blood pressures and flows are also being
examined to determine how these
modify the character of the walls
of thevessels and heart.
Our Chemistry Laboratories are
engaged in studies of means to

strengthen the blood vessel wall
and to improve the compounds
which are availablefor the prevention of blood clots.
A distressingly common but
poorly appreciated disease is the
chronic obstruction of the airways
known as chronic bronchitis or

emphysema. Patients with this
disorder have no troublein inhaling, but have great difficulty in
expelling air from the lungs. This
condition is believed to be related
to irritation of the airways, perhaps by specific types of air pollution. The treatment ofemphysema
is being re-evaluated in our
Emphysema Clinic and associated
laboratory studies are exploring
the mechanisms ofproduction and
treatment of this disease.
fn conjunction with the Buffalo
Eye Bank and Research Society,
the Institute has recently established a research unit devoted to
diseases of the eye. In its first
phase, this group is examining
chemical factors which maintain
the transparency of the eye covering (cornea) through which light
passes, and of the crystalline lens.
The Institute also participates
in the teaching program of the
Medical and Graduate Schools,
especially inproviding fellowships
and apprenticeships in the research disciplines.

GREAT BOOKS-ING
OR

FINDING
TIME
TO READ

�DOLORES NICELY, wife of a senior law student and mother of two children is
typical of the many busy housewives who have discovered an exciting new learning
experience, reading Great Books. Instead of merely thinking about someday
having the time to read the giants like Plato and Shakespeare, Great Bookers read two
books a month. And, many husbands have also joined the program. As one man
said, "the Great Books Program, may after all, bridge the distance between the desk
and the diaper pail. After the discussions, my wife and gratefully acknowledged

I

that each of us had re-discovered that the other had a brain."

THE READING FEVER has caught the fancy of alumni
across the nation. For there are 50,000 people who
are participating currently in the Great Books Adult
program sponsored by the Great Books Foundation.
Some of them have been active for a dozen years or
more. Some of them are recent recruits. They are old,
young, middle-aged; parents of small, new people,
parents of collegians. They attend all kinds of
churches and none. They are active Democrats,
active Republicans, concerned independents. They
are quiet, not-so-quiet and downright aggressive. In
Buffalo alone some 450 collegians of various institutions are involved inthe common aim.

They read Great Books: two each month: Twice
during the month, on alternate weeks, they gather
in groups of 10 to 25 to talk about one book each
member of that group has read since they last met.
The discussion is led by two discussion leaders,
trained by the Great Books Foundation to ask
incisive questions, keep the discussion oriented to
the book and (this is the hardest to learn!) avoid
making positive statements.
No one tells Great Book-ers why the book they've
read is great or what they ought to find in it. No one
tells them how one book relates to another or to
1962. They take no examination, pay no fees, earn
no credits.
They comefor nearly as many reasons as there are
people and they stay for the season, several seasons
or a dozen because Great Books-ing is an exciting
learning experience.
A Great Books year is an annual march through
the centuries. The year may begin with Confucius,
the Old Testament or Homer. In time you will have
read the complete extant body of Greek drama, most
of Shakespeare, all of the Platonic dialogues and

have a speaking acquaintance with most major
philosophers. Any year includes history, science,
fiction, philosophy and political science.
There is no guarantee that a single prejudice will
be lost but many are. There is no guarantee that
critical ability will improve or reading rate increase
butthe testimony to the effect that this has happened
to participants isvoluminous. There isno pledge that
participation in the program will develop new friendships but there are people who know that the odds
are enormous against their meeting any other way,
in any other place.
The only valid reason for joining a Great Books
group is an honest desire to read the books. All other
benefits are bonus and incidental. The books themselves are those written by the giants "on whose
shoulders" we sit "like dwarfs" to "see more things
than the ancients and things more distant
due
neither to the sharpness of our own sight nor the
greatness of our stature, but because we are raised
and borne aloft on that giant mass." (From Bernard
of Chartre, quoted in Anne Freemantle's Introduction to Age of Belief).
The giants do not agree with each other nor will
you with them. They havenot all earned their stature
by the same kind of performance. Euclid's concerns
are not the same as William James' nor Lavoisier's
the same as Kant's. Most of them are familiar, at
least by name, to most college graduates. Many
received only passing mention because a life-time of
reading cannot be compressed into the few years set
aside for college. Most of them merit more consideration than they received for a speedily assembled report wedged between two others. Most of them have
more to offer an adult, living in the world of family
and business responsibilities than a college student.

GREAT BOOKS ING
One of the giants, a young Italian monk, suggested
that God made the angels, the world, the animals
therein and afterwards created man in the middle
way with "power to degenerate into the lower forms
of life, which are brutish." And if we never use our
intelligences, our college-trained thinking apparathe
tuses, are we not settling for a brutish life?
very, unexamined life that Socrates deplored as not
worth living? Are we not settling then for beans and
wieners when we might have roast beef and Yorkshire pudding?
It's perfectly true that the pressures are great and
the flesh is weak. There is a never-ending moan of,
"I know I ought to read more." Everyone hashadthe
experience of a fleeting resolution to really make a
reading plan and stick to it. It's easy! Like quitting
cigarettes. Some people quit ten times a week. Putting the book on the shelf is even easier than making
the resolution. And this is why there are now thousands of college graduates across the country and in
Europe and Canada, finding their way into the Great
Books program. It is not so easy to break a datewith
a book when the date also involves people. When a
group of people with just as many pressures as you
have, some many more, expect you to have read a
book and read it well enough to be able to document
your opinions about it, you do read the book. The
program supplies the deadline that acts as a spur to
keep you awake. After awhile, youfind that you live,
much more of the time, in a state of awakeness, more
vitally alive than anyone can possibly be when his
only touchstones are the simple mechanics of living.
You live with what Whitehead calls "the vision of

..

greatness".

�The Alumnus and the State University
During this new decade,

Harry H. Ransom,
Chancellor,the University ofTexas,

points out that the alumnus is the
main carrierof higher education in
our society, and that the importance of loyalty to alma mater will
increase whetherthe institution be
private or state.

the state university's alumni relationships will confront almost innumerable permutations and complexities, problems and opportunities.
It is necessary that we impose simplicity upon this
wonderfully complicated subject. But we should not
let manufactured simplicity mislead us. The title of
this discussion, for example, wears the garb of the
state university. Yet my mainpoint—or at least my
chief silent assumption—is that alumni relations of
a "state" institution differ very little from those at
other institutions concerned with higher education.
Take the problem of dollar support. Distinguished
private universities or thosewith some hope ofattaining distinction have found that dollars—millions of
dollars—from the Federal treasury are necessary to
underwrite new research programs in a day when
research is an instrument of national defense and
national welfare. As for state universities, they still
seek such tax dollars. But they also seek private
dollars with an eagerness which increases with their
increasing need to raise academic standards.
The president of a great private university recently
announced that last year the Federal government
contributedabout 18 million dollars to his budget—
a modest sum compared with Federal support of
other "private" universities. That sum isalmost precisely the amount recently appropriated by a state
legislature for one campus of its growing public
system of higher education. As a double token of
mixed resources, the state university's budget was
supported simultaneously by about five million dollars from private sources. Which university is private,
which is public?
Apart from such dollar arithmetic, all state universitiesare seeking new definitions for themselves—
context, organization, plan of operation, educational
and social purpose. No longer can a university assume
that it is a university because it is called one. Nor is
college education equally college education at Old
Bivalve or NewState U. Indeed, the sheer number of
very new state universitiesalone requires caution in
continued on next page
any sort of generalization.

11

�If dollars and organizational patterns did not present complexities, a university's multiplepopulations
would create them. The four elder estates of a university—students, alumni, faculty, and administration—are now joined by a fifth. That fifth estate is
madeup offuture students. I do notrefer to amusing
sentiments pictured by three-year-olds in over-size
sweaters labeled "Classof 1979." I mean simply that
all future academic programs, which were once
the leisurely concern of academic philosophers,
curriculum committees, registrar's office, and the
administration, must now be planned with canny
educational strategy suited to a population of very
young Americans. And they must be planned years
before those young Americans buy prep-school or
high-school class rings.
Thus alumni and endowment officers, like administrators and faculty committees,can no longer resort
to tritefigures of speech about "the dialogue between
the graduate and his Alma Mater." Instead, they
must join loud pentalogues with alumni who at 70
may be revising wills, who at forty are making their
way (or perhaps theirfortune), who at 21 are getting
out of the university, andwho at 15are getting ready
to come into it.
I suggest that it is more important for alumniand
endowment officers to consider this calculus of the
several academic generations than to deal inthe old
bald and false stereotypes of "the state university
alumnus."
In a practical educational vocabulary, conglomerate plurals likealumni meanas little as dehumanized
abstractions like "average student." In the singular
—and that is the number in which he must always
be considered—an alumnus is mainly himself. Any
other conception of him promulgated by university
offices or officers is false. In whatever form he once
entered the university, how he took his short or long
transit across the campus, where he made his exit
(or inwhich particular corral got branded A.8., 8.5.,
LL.B., or M.D.), in whatever orbits he pursues his
mixed existences, private and public, he remains

singular.

,

\

In our age,
every university needs the alumnus in the
role of harbinger harbinger of what
that university must be if it is to be a real

—

university.

This singularity of thealumnus (like the singularity of the undergraduate and graduate student) is
not merely a condition of person differing from every
other member of a group. It is mainly the result
of a function to which every university is dedicated.
Education is still largely a process of delayed
explosions. Except for the absolute genius and the
absolute nincompoop, education is also a continous
process in the sense that it goes on throughout the
individual lifetime. But timing of educational explosions inindividual experience differs enormously. To
bring that figure of speech up to date, so do intellectual chain reactions which an individual sometimes
can effect inother human beings around him.
As an alternate metaphor, we might better select
an educational phenomenon closer to the human
sciences. We have given too little emphasis to the
fact that the alumnus is the main "carrier" of education in our society. Even when knowledge does not
"take" with him, a man may infect others with it
or with a sense of its desirability—and in an age like
ours, with a conviction of the need of knowledge
among all sorts and conditions of men.
In our age, every university needs the alumnus
in the role of harbinger—harbingerof what that university must be if it is to be a real university.
In this decade, therefore, the state university must

require of its alumni a great deal more than those
familiar modes of flaplip loyalty out of which college

12

�Fifty-yard alumni at least know the importance
of beginning at the center of things and what it
means to shift perspective. Let us take heart when
one applies in a wide-minded vein: "This year I don't
ask for a seat on the fifty-yard line; I want mine on
the fifty-one or forty-nine."
Alumni spectators of theAmerican university scene
and alumni patrons of American university programs
are traditionally two kinds of graduates on whom we
have learned to rely for overview and underpinning.
Often they are embodiedin the same person; we are
grateful for them in either manifestation.
But nowevery university realizes that thealumnus
participant is what every graduate ought to be and
may become. In the currencies of academic imagination, most assets have been"blocked,"like currencies
in faraway countries. We have talked enough in our
time about dedication of alumnus sentiments; we
have considered too little the engagement of the
thoughtful faculties of the alumnus—his part in the
community of university minds. Durability of educational ideals cannot rely exclusively upon initiation
of new generations by teaching staffs, however wise
the teachers.
Hence no development inrecent alumni programs
of the state university is more significant than the
engagement of graduates in councils of academic
advice, curriculum evaluation, andeducational planning. At one university last year, almost six hundred
alumni spent from one to thirty days apiece in

—

—

reunions and alumni hurrah-letters were once composed. New imperatives of alumni interest are as
broad as the process of democracy itself. They are as
particular as the intellectual metes and bounds of
the school or college.
The context of alumnus concern is, of course,
social and political and economic as well as intellectual and cultural in the limited, personal sense. Yet
I doubt that we can increase serious, enlightened
concernfor science by threatening global disaster or
warning that Khrushchev will get all the old grads
if they don't watch out. That kind of rhetoric may
titillate some graduates. But these graduates should
address themselves to more prosaic and much more
difficult propositions. The state university should ask
them to help us mean what we say, when we say
things likethis:
The academic standards of a state university
should be as rigorous as the state's immediate need
and as high as its highest future prospect in a
democratic society.
By that proposition I do not intend to imply that
the alumni officer's undertaking, or the chancellor's,
is to proceed with each alumnus as if he were necessarily highbrowed, long-haired, and eggheaded. On
the contrary, I would parenthesize at any point of
this argument by insisting that if sports, for example,
are the only university activity an alumnus is presently inclined to support, then let us thank Heaven
for that athletic ardor. It is worth more than academic apathy. Football is certainly not the end of
wisdom, but a love of sports can be the beginning of
respect for the wisest undertakings of a university.
And the issues soon may be more critical than those
decided on fields like Waterloo.
Such heresy demands a pious example. Here it is:
not long ago a rarefied project in the fine arts
languished until a former boxing commissioner of
New York got behind it. The former commissioner
was neither a citizen of the statefor which the project
was proposed nor an alumnus of the university which
proposed it. But heknocked the suggestion intokeen
sensibility; itflourishes.

—

The alumnus, through
official representation in the university
community, should provide a kind of
focal point for public conscience and
academic affairs.

�undramatic but not unrewarding chores of consult-

antship. They went to work, hard work, at assessment of theacademic product by the consumer, the
citizenry. These alumni were leading citizens from
every profession, business, and industry in the state.

For those unpaid consultant's fees, nobody added
even a modest total to theannualaccount of alumni
gifts to that university. The university could not
have afforded to buy such consultation. Nor couldit
have proceededwisely inits investments ofresources,
time,and human careers without thekind of wisdom
brought to bear upon its program by alumni advice.
Not the least valuableresult of this program was
a simple conjunction of alumni opinion and faculty
conviction. As it turned out, thefaculty appeared as
a new brand of alumnus in the mixing. Your most
seasoned alumnus is your long-experienced teacher,
no matter where he may have taken his bachelor's,
master's, and doctoral degrees. He has been educated
by successive incoming classes and departing classes
and returning graduates. He knows his way—as one
alumnus put it recently—"around and around." He
alsoknows his way inside and outside the university.
Conversely, it is clear that although alumni and
development officers may be considered jauntily as
super-salesman—ultra-managerial, hypersentimental first sergeants of college emotions, loyalties, and
hard-dollar pledges—they arereally nothing much if
they are not also educators in the broadest sense.
As educators, withall the dignities and dirty work
appertaining thereto they are best prepared to discount and discard the academic burlesques, intellectual striptease acts, and silly campus circuses that
once passed for alumni programs.
When everything was private about a university,
such nonsense could get by. Today the university
(and especially the public university) lives very publicly. True, it has no less obligation to perpetuate
traditional pleasures of the campus, the sheer fun of
education. But it cannot deal mainly in amusements,
staying oblivious to what was once called the "outside world." Slowly the cloister became the rotunda,
then a broadcasting system of university thinking.
The public stage of university activity denies us
comforts of private and provincial wajrs that made
the campus once seem delightfully or damnably set
apart and safe. If there ever was an age that could

afford to excuse irresponsibility of the intellect, that
age has passed.
Educationis entirely too dangerous a process to be
left to the private magic of college presidents, to the
antisocial scientist, to witcheries of the academic
eccentric or the educated fool, to whims of the absentmindedprofessor, or the alumnus who has abdicated
mentality. Let us remember that it was not the invention of a machine that brought on the horrors of
World War II—itwas the perversion ofa philosophy.
When the minds of the miseducated can be so perverted, then education must become everybody's
business.
For the state university this is a sobering fact. It
is not enough to say "What a nuisance!" and forthwith double our budgets for "publicrelations."
The university mustregularly expect new kinds of
attention and inquiry. It must sometimes expect
outright and outrageous interference. Against such
interference it must take a position that makes sense,
though it cannot be expected always to make friends
of those who interfere. The state university should
resist now—andkeep resisting always—professional
carpers and alarmists, the self-appointed, pipsqueak,
crackpot investigators.
In connection with this conduct of educational
enterprise by fearless action and by open record,
alumni and endowment officers assume their most
significant roles.
Thealumnus, through theseofficial representatives
in the university community, should provide a kind
of focal point for public conscience about academic
affairs. This conscience must share the burden of
public responsibility and the obligations of intellectual integrity. Itmust demonstrate, for example, the
fact that academic freedom is mere imprisonment to
empty tradition unless it assumes full allegiance to
truth, full accountability to public good. It must insist that democratic education is not a cheapening
of knowledge at the public fountain but a spring of
wisdom for all the people.
State universities were the last American educational institutions to come to alumni for such help.
They should have been the first. By this reversal in
the logical development of educational history, obligations of the state university alumnus have doubled.
So have his opportunities.

and in which time can be measured
in billionthsof seconds werefirst con-

ceived by Alumnus Harold Lyons.
A native Buffalonianwho received
his BA degree in physics, magna
cum laude, Dr. Lyons succeeded
in building the first two atomic
clocks in 1948 when working for the
National Bureau of Standards. The
first clock used ammonia, the second
a cesium beam. His devices paved
the way for development of more
recent improved atomic clocks; one
of the latest, a cesium beam atomic
clock, is the one described above.
One of the foremost pioneers in
the science and techniques of electronics, Dr. Lyons began his career
as a laboratory assistant while in
undergraduate school. After graduation he remained at the University
for a year teaching undergraduate
physics. In 1939 he completed his
PhD at the University of Michigan.
He then did research at the Naval
Research Laboratory and the National Bureau of Standards.
In 1955 Dr. Lyons joined Hughes
Aircraft Company as senior scientist
and later head of theAtomic Physics
Department. He organized research

clocks for satellites and navigation.
As vice-president, Electro-Optical
Systems Inc., and manager of the
Quantum Physics Division, Dr.
Lyons is presently responsible for
research and development in quantum physics, with particular emphasis on design and development of
masers, irasers and lasers. (A maser
is an acronym for microwave amplification by stimulated emission of
radiation. Similarly derived are the

Throughout his career he haswritten over thirty technical articles on
such subjects as atomic clocks, relativistic clock satellite experiments,
microwave spectroscopy, masers,
lasers, and irasers, microwave techniques, high frequency direction
finding and others. He holds seven
patents and in addition to his clock
invention is responsible for eleven
other inventions or developments of
new equipment and techniques.
Among the numerous honors Dr.
Lyons has received are three signal
awards in 1949: The Arthur S.
Flemming Award for Outstanding
Achievement in the Field of Radio
Engineering, the Department of

Medal Award for the first "Atomic
Clock," and the National Bureau of
Standards SuperiorAccomplishment
Award. In 1952 he was chosen to

receive the Washington Academy of
Science Award for Achievement in
the Physical Sciences.
The University presented him
with a Citation in 1957 for his "epochal inventions and research in the
field of nuclear physics". The next
year he was awarded the Franklin
Institute Certificate of Merit for
"work in pioneering thedevelopment
of clocks of very great precision

professor at Chicago, started Great Books for students and later offered the discussion seminars to
adults in the Chicago Public Library. Interest grew
across the country and the program was launched
in Buffalo through the interest and energy of Oscar
A. Silverman, now chairman of the department of
English here, who led the first laymen's seminar to
train discussion leaders with the late Nathaniel
Cantor, then chairmen of the Sociology Department.
The program was sponsored by the University of
Buffalo, the Buffalo Department of Education and
the (then) Buffalo PublicLibrary. It is still indebted
to the continuing advice of Dr. Silverman and the
sponsorship and cooperation of the Buffalo and Erie
County Public Library.
The Great Books Foundation was organized and
incorporated in 1947, was aided financially by other
National foundations and especially the Fund for
Adult Education. Recently it conducted a fund-raising campaign to enable it to be a financially independent organization, supported by membership
dues, voluntary gifts of participants and friends and
the sale of the sets of reprints which it publishes.
These little, paper-back books are not to be confused
with the elegantly bound Great Books of the Western World published by Britannica. The Foundation's sets cost about $10 for the sixteen readings in
a years course and their purchase is optional.
At the inception of the program there was a general fever about everyone becoming a reader of the
Great Books and an iminentrealization of Thoreau's
dream that "villages were universities, andtheir elder
inhabitants, the fellows of universities." Time has
proven that the hope was perhaps too sanguine.
There is no educational requirement and there is
evidence, in a recent survey, that members who have
no college training are more knowledgeable in the
field of liberal arts after two years of participation
than college graduates beginning the program. However, the evidence is unmistakable that most people
without college training do not join. Of the 50,000
people in the program, 84 percent attended college;
23 per cent have a bachelor's degree; 37 per cent
have creditfor graduate work.
The fever has now died down and the program
grown to a promising stability. Locally, the numbers
remain remarkably the same for regular attendance
with an ever-increasing number of "temporary alumni" who have enjoyed exposure to the greatest minds
the western world has produced and the magic of
adult interchange of ideas based on the writings of
these minds.

Poet e. e. cummings read 24
of his poems to 1200 students,
faculty and guests, December 11,
in Capen Hall. Through the advantages of close-circuit television, it was possible for Mr.
cummings' followers to see and
hear him even though Butler
Auditoriumseats 500.Four other
classrooms in the building were
used. His appearance was sponsored by the ConvocationsCommittee of the Student Association and the Abbott
Reading Fund of the Lockwood Memorial Library. The
67-year-old Americanwho madethe lower-case alphabet
famous and likes to fool around with the symbols of the
typewriter read from two volumes: "95 Poems" and
"Poems, 1923-54." At the close of each half-hour session he walked, looking neither to right or left, the 16
steps up the auditorium and out to fully appreciate
applause. He banned all photographs, autographs and
smoking during his talk.

Trend towards greatness
In New Perspective, the 1960-61 Annual Report,
Chancellor Furnas predicts a major building program
as well as a sizeable increase inthe student body when
the University becomes a state university, probably by
next September.
The report calls for tentative construction to include:
"a new on-campus Law Center, an expanded Medical
Center; library construction; at least three classroom
buildings; a theater and visual arts building to complete
theFine Arts Center;facilities for chemical engineering;
a field house; service buildings; and purchase of additional property.
"In addition, several major dormitory unitswill have
to be constructed to house students from all over New
York State and the nation." Currently under construction are a $3,500,000 student unionbuilding and a new
classroom building." (New alumni quarters will be on
the second floor of the student union).
Dr. Furnas' report reviewed the university's progress
during the fiscal year 1960-61. At the end of the year,the
University had a 'book value' of $70,237,010 an increasefor the year of $5,072,649.
Thevalue of the university's land,buildings and equipment during the year climbed by $4,700,000 to a total
of $35,846,284.
Great strides were made in teaching and scientific
research making it evident from this survey, the chancellor notes "that ours is an institution which can con-

—

�tinue to expand to meet the needs of the 1960's and 70's

one that can grow into true greatness in terms of
—education,
research and public service.

Enrollment increases
The totalenrollmentnumber this year is 14,360which
14% increase over last year. Thefull time day enrollment is 9,400 (which includes professional schools and
summer school). This is a 20% rise over 1960-61.
In the Fall 2600freshmen were admitted out of 7000
students who made application. We expect to accept
about the same number next Fall. A year ago November
we had received 250 applications for admission; this year
we had received 1700 by the same date and by January
15, applications had soared to nearly 5000.

Berner, Ertell named to new posts
Two administrative changes have been announced:
Dr. Robert Berner, BS(Bus)'39, MBA'4B, has been
namedassistant to the chancellorfor budget preparation
and administration,and Dr. MertonW. Ertell,BS (Bus)
'38, MBA'49, has been reappointed as assistant vice
chancellor for educational affairs. Dr. Ertell held the
post in 1955-58. He is also Melvin H. Baker associate
professor of American enterprise, economics and industrial relations. Dr. Berner willretain his title as dean of

MBA'4B, EdD'6l, assistant dean.

Nuclear Center off to good start
The Western NewYork Nuclear Research Center exadd a second shift of operations during 1962 in
order to handle the growing list of industrial research
contracts. This will put the $2 millionatomic reactor on
a 16-houra day operation, five days a week. Dr. Ralph
F. Lumb, director of the Research Center, reports that
"the build-up of contracts is coming along at the rate we
had originally predicted.
"We are not inthe black yet and we won't be next year
either, but I expect the Center will cross the 'break-even
point' and begin to show a profit in thefiscal year of July
1, 1963 to June 30, 1964." The Center is still operating
largelyas a service facility inwhich the use of thereactor
is "rented out" to a clientwho conducts his own studies
with his own personnel. Since June 1 the Center has
worked on 24 commercial projects, and thefacilities have
been used by the Medical School and by the biology,
chemistry and physics departments.
In the first half-year of operation, the Research Center has become a major supplier of radioactive isotopes
for the Niagara Frontier primarily sodium, potassium, bromide, manganese, phosphorous and sulphur.
Isotope users have included local industries, University
departments, Roswell Park Memorial Institute, Eastman Dental Dispensary in Rochester, the University of
Rochester and Cornell University.

Cagers surviving road schedule
A listing of pleasant surprises for the 1961-62 school
year would be far from complete without mention of
early-season results posted by the Varsity hoopsters of
Dr. Leonard Serfustini.
Graduation took last year's five starters who posted a
record of 18-5. This year's crew is loaded with sophomore and junior talent which is meeting the challenge
of working together as a team for the first time. The
schedule has been a major opponent... including only
three Clark Gym games in the first ten games. In fact,
the next three are road contests, beginning after the
mid-year recess.

To date the record is 6-3, as follows:

Attention Pharmacists

The School of Pharmacy is celebrating its seventy-fifth anniversary this
year. Part of the celebration will consist of the preparation of a 75th Anniversary Album, to be distributed at the
special Anniversary Banquet in May.
This souvenir booklet will contain all
the memorabilia we can collect from
the School's seventy-five year history.
Badly needed are photographs of
alumni, taken when they were undergraduates in the School of Pharmacy,
or at various alumni functions later on.
We need pictures from class trips, fraternity or sorority affairs, school dances,
open houses, or anything which can be
related to the School. These photos will
be copied and returned to the senders,
along with an extra copy in appreciation for letting us borrow them. Please
include, if possible, the names of the
people in the photos and the occasions
upon which the pictures were taken.
So check your attics, cellars, garrets,
scrapbooks, family albums,—any place
where you may have stored photographs over the years, and send them
in. It is important that all material be
received by March 31.
Inaddition to pictorial material, we

are also anxious to collect anecdotes
and recollections—humorous or serious, for inclusion in this special souvenir chronology.
Address all material to:

of children with malignant disease. He
was also among the first to describe
cystic fibrosis as a generalized disease,
to prove the occurence of eastern
equine encephalitis in man, and with
colleague Jerome Harris, to write a
classic description of large blood vessel
problems to which modern heart surgery owes a part of its development. A

�AS SPRING COMES to the campus, we look forward to the flowering crab apples as much as
Rochester does its lilacs, and Washington its cherry blossoms. In ten years the efforts of the
entire community has brought over 26 varieties and 268 trees to the University campus.

□ The idea of developing an

outstanding collection of

flowering crab apples was

conceived in May 1952 by Pat

Thomas, wife of Frederick H.,

chairman of the Industrial

Engineering Department. She

had heard about the wonder-

ful crab apple collection on

the Swarthmore College

campus, and thought how

beautiful our own campus

could be with the addition of the lovely blossoming trees. She discussed her plan with
University authorities who heartily approved it. Then she and Professor Thomas planted the

first two trees behind the Engineering building. Six more trees were donated by the senior class
of the School of Pharmacy and Alpha Phi Omega, the service fraternity, planted them behind
the Library.

□

The next year the Eighth District of Federated Garden Clubs which has a

combined membership of 2600 women adopted the campus beautification plan as a three-year
civic project. Through their efforts contributions are still pouring in from other organizations,
students, faculty and private citizens. Many gifts are in the form of memorials.

□ All the trees

have been planted in accordance with the master landscape plan ofthe University designed by
Mrs. George G. Zahm, a graduate in landscape design, University of Michigan. Richard A. Sebian,
University horticulturist, is labeling each tree so thatthe public can identify each variety. Q Who

knows in a few years tourists may visit the University of Buffalo to admire its lovely array of
pink and red blossoms! Many Buffalonians already make it a point to drive through the campus

each Spring to see the crab apples in bloom. The tree behind Hayes Hall is shown in the photo.

�IT IS A MATTER of common knowledge that the
reciprocal benefits derived by the alumnus and by
the college or university with which he is affiliated
constitute one of the significant phenomena of life
here in the United States. In the scale of human
values, the general bundle of which is sometimes
referred to as "the pursuit of happiness," there are
many, including myself, who give the Alma Mater—
Alumnus relationship a very high rating. How and
why is this so? We shall try to find the answer as we
search the soul of the alumnus to find out what
makes him tick, as the expression goes.
My class in Princeton is the Class of 1909. The
never-to-be-forgotten genius of our class, who became ourfirst Secretary after graduation, was Joshua
Cooley Brush. I have spoken of him before, on many
occasions, as he is my ideal alumnus. I never shall
forget the day he asked me to be a member of the
committee planning our first mid-winter dinner. I
helpedplan the menu at old Monquin's in NewYork
City and bought thecigars. This was a proud moment
for me I had never amounted to anything in the
class before. Then I became the chairman of our
Weekly Class Luncheon Committee. By that time I
was as busy as a bird dog in the law; but I worked
like a beaver on those class luncheons. We finally
got a loft above Fusco's restaurant inlower Beaver
Street, in New York City, and Fusco agreed to let
us eat thereapartfrom the other customers and have
thewaiters bring our food upstairs. What good times
we had. Sometimes there were as many as twentyfive or thirty on hand, and never less than fifteen.
Visiting fireman from Houston, or Oregon or even
China and various diplomatic posts all over theworld
were welcomed with a rousing cheer. When Fusco's
closed we moved on, butthese were the heydays. The
first thing you knew I was on the Class Executive
Committee. All this time I was helping to keep the
names and addresses up to date, collaborating in a
modest way, on our class record books, of which we
now have six, the last one our Forty-Fifth Year
Record Book published in 1954, discussing with

—

various classmates the skits, the contests and the
other so-called entertainment we put on at our
annual midwinterand reunion dinners. And thereunions every June! How Josh loved reunions, and
the events every fall about the time of the first or
secondfootball games. For some reason I shall never

be able to explain, why we called these, and we still
call them, Field Days. We didmake an effort to play
golf, but this was not much of a success. On one
occasion one of our immortals, Tubby Sherrill, now
long since gone to his reward, put all his golf balls in

the lakeand then threwhis bag of clubs in after them.
We quaffed spirituous liquors and we played thefunniestkind of a poker gameever heard of—sometimes
the twos, threes, and one-eyed Jacks were all wild
together and we debatedwhether five of a kind beat
a straight flush. Flipping cards in a wastebasket was
one of the most popular events I used to practice
at it homefor weeks before the Field Days. Those
were the happy days and the same sort of thing
goes on right now, in 1962.
What is it that binds us so closely to our Alma
Mater? Why do our heartsrespond sowarmly? Why
do we do so in sucha myriad of ways to demonstrate
our lovefor the educationalinstitution that brought
us to maturity and helped us to develop our latent
talentsand capacities and our sense of humanvalues,
and to appreciate the beauties and the harmonies of
art and literature, and to strengthen and broaden
our intellectualfaculties? I respectfully submit that
there are threereasons for this. Doubtless there are
others, but I stress these three above all others. I
shall discuss them inwhat I think is the inverse order
of their importance, but I realize others may have
different views on the subject.

THERE IS A PSYCHOLOGICAL
URGE TO BE IDENTIFIED
AS A MEMBER OF A GROUP,
THE NOTION OF BELONGING.

First, there is the psychological urge to be identified as a member of the group, the notion of "belonging." This enhances one's individual ego and produces a perfectly human feeling of pleasure and security. People like to get on the band wagon if given a
reasonable opportunity to do so. It is the opposite of
a feeling that one is on the outside, more or less
regarded as different from the others. Class spirit
and class unity inevitably foster this idea of "belonging." After the lapse of a few years not a single member of the class thinks he is being left out inthe cold.

THERE (S A SPARK OF FIRE
BETWEEN THE TEACHER AND
THE PUPIL, BETWEEN THE
INSTITUTION OF LEARNING
AND THE STUDENT, THAT
CONTINUES WITH US THRU
LIFE AND NEVER CEASES TO

ENGENDER RECIPROCAL
FEELINGS OF WARMTH,
AFFECTION AND GRATITUDE.

Second, there is that spark of fire between the
teacher and the pupil, between the institution of
learning and the student, that continues with us
through life and never ceases to engendera reciprocal
feeling of warmthand affection and gratitude. As the
ripples go out endlessly when one throws a pebble
into a pond, the effect goes on and on until we join
our loved ones in the great beyond. Some of us may
perversely seek to extinguish this spark of fire, while
others nurse and foster it with loving care; but, in
either event, and no matter what may happen to us,
the spark is never extinguished. This I submitis also
a basic psychological fact.
The third reason is not so widely understood. I
shall try to work around it on the bias, my favorite
approach. When I was a boy at prep school I simply
could not understand why Cicero kept harping on
his desire to establish a reputation that would continue down through the ages.Most of the other Greek
and Latin authors we studiedseemed to be obsessed
with the same idea. As I grew older it suddenly
dawned on me that, in varying degrees according to
their circumstances, practically everyone has an itching for fame. People do all sorts of things that can be
designed for no other purpose than to perpetuate
their memory, as far as they can. But, when you stop
to think about it, where is one to find the lasting,
solid qualityof permanency in this best of all possible
worlds, as Voltaire used to call it.Buildings of great
beauty, temples, churches and what not, are constructed, but as the years roll by they are torn down
and replaced by others. Think of the millions of
books that were thought to bring imperishable glory
to their authors, but now lie buried away in some
library and forgotten or wholly destroyed and lost
in oblivion. A person does not have to be so very
bright to realize that nothing he can dowill be sure
to construct an image of himself thatwill be perceptible to anyone in another fifty or one hundred years.
Yes, the deeds of men and women as well as those of

6

theirfriends and relatives and all that is dear to them
will pass into the mist and be no more, as Horace so
often reminds us. But the college or university stands
out as almost the only really solid, permanent fact.
It is something we can cling to throughout life, and
thus become a part of its very permanency and stability through the ages. We may leave our mark upon
it,perhaps our very name, in a more or less conspicuous way. Even the annals of the college or the
university and its archives with their references to
the records of the students and the benefactions of
the alumni run back to the timewhen the memory of
man runneth not to the contrary, as the lawyers say.

3

A COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY HAS
A SOLID, PERMANENT QUALITY.
IT IS SOMETHING THE ALUMNUS
CAN CLING TO DURING HIS LIFE,
AND THUS BECOME PART OF ITS
PERMANENCY AND STABILITY.

So I think it is the most natural and the most
human thing in theworld for thealumnus to act as
he does. And as he comes back to warm himself in
the sun of the campus and opens his coffers and
bestows of his substance to the various drives for
Annual Giving and for the Capital Needs of hisAlma
Mater, and for the establishment of professorships
and scholarships and what not else, we may rest
assured that he is well repaid not only in the happiness he enjoys with his classmates and with the
alumni of other classes, but also by the satisfaction
one always feels in responding to an inner urge and
a subconscious motivation.

�IN THIS ARTICLE, REPRINTED FROM CHALLENGE, THE MAGAZINE
OF ECONOMIC AFFAIRS, NEW YORK UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF
ECONOMIC AFFAIRS, DANIEL HAMBERG QUESTIONS THE RELEVANCY
OF THE ENTIRE CONCEPT OF THE PATENT SYSTEM IN OUR
MODERN SOCIETY. A UB ECONOMICS PROFESSOR, DR. HAMBERG
HAS PUBLISHED, "BUSINESS CYCLES," "ECONOMIC GROWTH AND
STABILITY," AND "PRINCIPLES OF A GROWING ECONOMY."

Our Antiquated Patent System
OUR PATENT SYSTEM which is 170
years old has been showing its age
for quite a while.
Although there has always been
some discontent with our method
of rewarding inventors, there is a
new wave of grumbling which has
grown out of the post-World War
II "research explosion." This massive increase in research and
development, which has so drastically altered the circumstances
surrounding the inventive process,
has made a re-evaluation of the
present systemalmost imperative.
A brief analysis of the basic
theory underlying the patent system will serve as background for
understanding the present situation. Patentrights confer monopoly powers on the patentee. Thus
patent owners can restrict the use
of their inventions in thehope that
the resulting higher market prices
will make possible greater profits
than they could earn iftheirinventions were freely available.
Society has, in effect, erected a
legal institution that impedes the
diffusion of invention and technical knowledge. Why? Because itis
believedthat the monopolyprofits
madepossible (if not guaranteed)
by the patent system willraise the
rate of invention. In a word, the
patent system was conceived in
the paradoxical expectation that
by slowing down the rate of diffusion of inventions, therewould be
more inventions to diffuse.
By what mental route was this
ingenious conclusionreached? The

answer is really very simple. It is

assumed that the economic prog-

ress we want comes essentially
from technological change. It is
further assumed that improved
technology comes largely out of
patentable inventions and innovations. Finally, it is assumed that
patentable inventionsand innova-

tions involve much time and effort
and frequently heavy financial
outlays. Hence the prospect of
monopoly profits provided by patents is necessary ifindividualsand
companies are to assume the risks
of invention and innovation.
It would be easy to cavil at all
the assumptions underlying this
case for the patent system. Recent
studies undertaken by the Committeefor Economic Development
indicate that, until now at least,
technical change has not accounted for more than a third of our
economic progress. (Increased
capital per head and improvement
in the educational level of our
labor force account for most of
the remainder.)
Furthermore, it would be very
difficult to prove the assumption
that technical progress is largely
associated with patented (or patentable) inventions. The dramatic
advances in industrial management, in organization techniques,
in technical "know-how," and in
basic scientific discoveries—these
are not patentable; yet they have
played a dominant role in our
technological progress. Nor is there
a solid basis for assuming that the

risks associatedwith the invention
and exploitation of patentable inventions are jreater than with
nonpatentable innovations.
However, for the sake of argument, let us accept for the moment the assumptions on which
the patent laws are based. Does
it follow that patents are indeed
needed as a fundamental inducement to inventand innovate? No,
say the critics, not in view of recent developments.
CRITICISMS: INDUSTRY INNOVATES,
First of all, in the current busi-

ness milieu, industry conducts research and development (R &amp; D)

and makes innovationsunder the
stimulus of competition, not of
the patent system. Competition
in developing new and improved
(and lower priced) products and
processes has become the principal spur to invention and innovationin industry.
Businessmen have turned increasingly to technological advances as a major instrument in
the struggle for improving their

7

�position in the market. Outlays
on R &amp; D are now made because
producers cannot afford to lag
behind their innovating competitors if they want to stay in business. They are also made because
the reputation of a firm rests
heavily on its ability to keep
ahead, to be first in the market
with something new and first to
reduce prices (or last to increase
them).
Moreover, for the incentive to
make important new inventions,
producers can rely on the temporary monopoly-profit that is theirs
by virtue of their natural head
start. Even in a world of vigorous
competition, with no patents or
other barriers to the free acquisition of new knowledge, imitating
newcomers need time to make
plans, start construction, get into
production and bring their products to the market.

The innovator can use his head
start to develop customer loyalty
to an extent that makes his
clientele distrustful of imitations.
These advantages of the natural
head start can lastfor years, and
in a free market economy they
should provide all the incentive
necessary for producers accustomed to operating amid the
"perennial gales" of competition.
Since so much inventive activity
occurs without patent protection,
it is clear that this position is not
purely speculative.
UNDER FEDERAL CONTRACTS,

No less important as a source
of disenchantment with existing
patent arrangements has been the
greater role played by the federal
government in financing R &amp; D.
Between 55 and 60 per cent of
the funds for industrialR &amp; D now
comes from the public trough. Perhaps the most notable feature of
this arrangement is the total absence of all financial risk on the
part of thefirms conducting R &amp; D.

8

Virtually all R &amp; D contracts let
by federal agencies are set up on a
"cost-plus" basis. No results are
guaranteed, ofcourse. But no matter how difficult or expensive a
projects turns out to be, the costs
are borne by the government.
In addition, there is no market
to be developed. The market is
there, waiting eagerly, in theform
of the federal agency that commissioned the R &amp; D. In short,
the whole thing is virtually a
riskless venture for the contracting corporation. If there is a
possible risk, it is that of contract
cancellation. But even this can
hardly be described as a risk, for
the firms have invested none of
their own funds and they are
always granted a return well in
excess of costs.
If there are no risks, there is no
justification for a monopoly profit
such as might accrue from patent
rights. Yet more than 85 per cent
of federal funds for industrial R
&amp;D are disbursed under contracts
that permit the contracting firms
to retain any patents that develop
out of the R &amp; D performed for
the government. (It should be
noted that the federal government always acquires an irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free
license to the patent when title
remains with the contractor.) All
R &amp; D contracts let by the Department of Defense permit the

contractor toretain title, and this
department disburses 85 to 90 per
cent of all R &amp; D funds contracted
out to industry.
The other principal agencies
involved are the Atomic Energy
Commission (AEC) and the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA); in general, these agencies follow the
practice of retaining patent rights
developing out of R &amp; D performed under their auspices. But
they have very liberal waiver
privileges and often allowthe con-

tractors to retain title to such
patents. The AEC has waived
title to about one-third of the
total patents that havearisen out
of its contracted research; as yet
there is no similarly specific informationregarding NASA practices.
Here, then, is a clear-cut case
of misuse of the patent system.
When there is a total absence of
financial risk, patent rights are
clearly not needed to serve as an
inducement to invent and innovate. Hence the granting of
patent privileges to contracting
firms gives society none of the
alleged advantages of the patent
system, while foisting upon us all
of its disadvantages.
MEDIA POORLY HANDLED,

And the disadvantages are
many. Aside from the manifold
abuses of the patent system,
there are drawbacks inherent in
the system, over and above the
restrictions on the rate of diffu-

�sion of new inventions. It is these
drawbacks that have been the
target of much of the recent criticism. The inherently narrower
range of application of new inventions under the patent laws
means that most firms are cut off
from the most advanced technology and are thereby forced to produce poorer quality products with
poorer quality techniques.

Even the quality of their research is necessarily poorer, because it is not based upon the
most up-todate knowledge. Any
effort to incorporate and build
upon knowledge contained in extant patents entails patent infringement. Hence, not only is the
diffusion of existing knowledge
and techniques limited by patents, but the ability to extend the
boundaries of knowledge is also
obstructed and retarded.
Exponents of the patent system often argue that, far from
retarding the diffusion process,
patents speed it up by providing
the information contained in the
patents themselves. What is overlooked in this argument is the
slipshod method of identifying inventions in patent applications.
Patents can be obtained without
disclosing all information that
must beknown to make use of the
patented inventions.
Besides, a considerable body of
information relevant to a given
invention is nonpatentable. This
information is called"know-how."
In the case of a new product, this
know-how includes the experience accumulated in the early
stages of production, during
which many minor modifications
may be madein the design or production process. Similarly, invaluable information, which is usually
not published, is often accumulated during the trial runs of new
processes. Sometimes managements prefer to withhold certain
information from public view, re-

gardless of whether or not it is
pa ten table.

In all these cases, the public
does not receive the information
that partly justifies the grant of
monopoly rights to the patentee.
Instead, the patentee obtains the
bargaining power attached to a
legal monopoly and also continues to enjoy whatever bargaining
strength he can derive from possession of a trade secret.
It must be remembered that
the granting of patent rights involves a wastage of whatever
resources competitors use to "invent around" the patent in order
to enable them to compete with
the patentees in the same market.
We have observed that the primary motive behind today's
privately financed industrial research is the desire to enlarge, or
at least preserve, the performing
company's share of the market.
When one firm discovers a new
or improved product or process,
its competitors are bound to fol-

low suit. But when the first has
obtained a patent, the rivals are
forced to waste resources in trying to find other ways of accomplishing the same thing. Only
occasionally does this duplication
result in something better. In
most cases, society would benefit
much more if the same resources
were devoted to enlarging the
boundaries of scientific and technical knowledge.
ALTERNATIVES: ABOLISH SYSTEM,
In theface of all these criticisms,
what are the alternatives to the
present operation of the patent
system? Specifically, how can the
patent laws be brought up to date?
At one extreme, we have the
suggestion that the patent system
be abolished altogether in order
to maximize the applications of all
inventions. This proposal suggests, in effect, thatall knowledge
be made free. Those who reject
thisalternative say that a decline

in the gross receipts of inventors would follow, because the increased use of an inventionwould
result in lowerprices for the products based on it. The decline in
gross revenues, in turn, would
damp incentives and, therefore,
reduce invention.
If this argument is valid, it
would be necessary to proceed one
step further and show that, overall, the negative effects of a reduced rate of inventionwould exceed the positive effects of a wider
use of the inventions made.
However, it is not certain that
the argument is valid. Eliminating
patent rights would open territory
now occupied by patent holders
for cultivation by all. With over a
half-million patents inforce today,
research organizations are inhibited from pursuing projects in
fields hedged in by patents.
Eliminating patents would increase the number of inventors
likely to cultivate a given area as
well as increase the number of
areas of technology open to further cultivation.This opens up the
possibility that more invention
would be forthcoming without the
patent system than with it. At
present, there is simply no way of

9

�determining whether more or fewer inventionswould be madewithout a patent system.
One thing is certain. If the patent system were abolished, the
number of inventions kept secret

would increase. But it would be
hard to estimate the magnitude
of such a development. Actually,
it is possible that industries are
already very secretive about their
discoveries. Otherwise, in the face
of the great boom in privately financed R &amp; D during the past two
decades, why hasn't there been a
similar expansion in the number
of patents granted?
Two more serious objections to
the idea of abolishing the patent
system exist. One is thatsome applied research is very expensive
and its outcome is uncertain. This
type of research is probably in
need of the extra spur provided
by the possibility of temporary
monopoly profits accruing from
patents.
Evidence indicates that industry tendsto concentrate mostof its
research on inventionsfeaturing a
quickpayoff. As a result, muchinventive activity is concerned with
slight, marginal improvements,
featuring process and product development of a very low order of
importance. If little or no incentive is provided for conducting expensive and risky projects, werun
the danger of seeing these projects
eliminatedalmost completely from
the industrial laboratory. Such a
development could have dire consequences for our long-run technological and economic progress.
CREATE AWARDS PROGRAM,
To meet theseobjections, but at
the same time to make knowledge
free so as to maximize its use, it
has been suggested thatthe patent
system be abolished and replaced
by a system of awards from the
public treasury. Inventions could
be purchased outright or, alternatively, paid for over time on a

royalty basis—that is, the amount
of the payments could be varied
in accordance with the degree of
utilization or commercial value of
a new product or process. Then

the inventions would be dedicated

to the public. All incentives for
"inventing around" new inven-

tionswould beeliminated, and the

waste of very scarce resources in

duplicating research would stop.
Finally, an awardssystem would
remove any advantages of industrial secrecy. For an inventor
would have nothing to gain from
hoarding his knowledge. The reason? Simply that the national output is bound to be greater than
when its use is restricted by monopoly. Hence, society would be
disposed to pay the inventor more
than he could earn from a monopoly on his invention.
OR DUAL PATENTS,

It has been suggested that,
instead of doing away with the
patent system, we should update
it by instituting a system of dual
patents. Long-term patents, like
the 17-year ones presently issued,
would be limited to those inventionsinvolvingmajor technological
breakthroughs, because they are
to the greatest value andordinarily
the research and development involved is very costly.
Inventions of lesser importance
would be granted patents of much
shorter duration. Creating a class
of petty patents for minor inventions would eliminate much harassing infringement litigation; it
would also strike at industrial
monopolies builtupon the acquisition of large aggregates of patents
or the continual acquisition of
new patents as old patent privileges expire.

GOVERNMENT-OWNED PATENTS,
Probably the least radical (but
notnecessarilythe best) suggestion
for accommodating the patent
system to the modern era is that
the government retain title to all

patent rights arising out of government-sponsored research. The
government would then issue nonexclusive, royalty-free licenses to
all comers. In this case, it is
argued, no violations of the principles of the patent system would
occur, because these principles are
inapplicable when the contractors
are relieved of all financial risks.
Furthermore, substantial advantages accrue to contractors from
government-financed R &amp; D that
are quite independent of patent
privileges:
The ability of the performing
firms to acquire scientific and
technical personnel is enhanced.
It is a fact that many companies
seek government contracts just to
enable them to keep their R &amp; D
staffs together. (The government
often parcels out R &amp; D contracts
to keep
for the same reason
personnel availablefor future government needs.) In addition, recruiting costs can be charged to
overhead; in the case of defense
contracts, these charges are paid
by the government.
The performing firm ipso facto
acquires a considerable body of
know-how relating to the invention. The withdrawal of patent
rights from firms performing
R&amp;D at government expense
could not deprive them of this
often priceless knowhow and the
tremendous advantage it gives
them in any ensuing competition
with otherfirms.
Finally, many technological
developments resulting from government-financed R&amp;D have
direct and immediate commercial
applications. In recent years, the
application of radioisotopes, jet
propulsion and sterilization of
food by radiation are just a few
examples of such applications. As
a result of research financed largely by the government during
World War 11, technological developments appeared in the form

TOMORROW

MY CHILDREN GET INTO COLLEGE?"
CC~\ ~\ TILL
The question haunts most parents. Here is

\/\/
* " the answer:

Yes...

► If they graduate from high school or preparatory
school with something better than a "scrape-by" record.
► //'they apply to the college or university that is right
for them—aiming their sights (and their application
forms) neither too high nor too low, butwith an individuality and precision made possible by soundguidance both
in school and in their home.
► If America's colleges and universities can find the
resources to carry out their plans to meet the huge demand for higher education that is certain to exist in this
country for years to come.
The ifs surrounding your children and the college of
tomorrow are matters ofconcern to everyone involved—
to parents, to children, to alumni and alumnae (whatever
their parental status), and to the nation's educators. But
resolving them is by no means being left to chance.
► The colleges know what they must do, if they are to

meet the needs of your children and others of your children's generation. Their planning is well beyond the hand-

wringing stage.
The colleges know the likely cost of putting their
plans into effect. They know this cost, both in money and
in manpower, will be staggering. But most of them are
already embarked upon finding the means of meeting it.
► Governments—local, state, and federal—are also
deeply involved in educational planning and financing.
Some parts of the country are far ahead of others. But
no region is without its planners and its doers in this
field.
► Public demand—not only for expandedfacilities for
higher education, but for ever-better quality in higher
education—today is more insistent, more informed than
ever before. With this growth of public sophistication
about higher education, it is now clear to most intelligent
parents that they themselves must take a leading role in
guiding their children's educational careers—and in
making certain that the college of tomorrow will be
ready, and good, for them.

more than one million students enrolled
in thefreshman classes of U.S.colleges and univer-J sities. They came from wealthy families, middleincome families, poor families: from all races, here and
abroad: from virtually every religious faith.
Over the next ten years, the number of students will
grow enormously. Around 1964the long-predicted "tidal
wave" of young people, born in the postwar era and
steadily moving upward through the nation's school systems ever since, will engulf the college campuses. By 1970
the population between the ages of 18 and 21—now
around 10.2 million—will have grown to 14.6 million.
College enrollment, now less than 4 million, will be at
least 6.4 million, and perhaps far more.
The character of the student bodies will also have
changed. More than half of the full-time students in the

AST fall,

country's four-year colleges are already coming from
lower-middle arsi low income groups. With expanding
scholarship, loan, icd self-help programs, this trend will
continue strong. Non-white college students—who in the
past decade have more than doubledin number and now

compose about J per cent or" the total enrollment —will
continue to increase. (Non-whites formed 11.4 percent of
the U.S. population in the 1960 census.) The number of
married students will grow. The average age of students
will continue its recent rise.
The sheerforce of this great wave of students is enough
to take one's breath aw^iy. Against this force, what chance

they are keenly aware of it. But for reasons of finance, of
faculty limitations, of space, of philosophy, of function, of
geographic location —or of a combination of these and
other restrictions—they cannot grow.
Many other institutions, public and private, ore expanding their enrollment capacities and will continue to do so:
Private institutions: Currently, colleges and universities
under independent auspices enroll around 1,500,000
students—some 40 per cent of the U.S. college population. In the future, many privately supported institutions
will grow, but slowly in comparison with publicly supported institutions. Thus the total number of students at
private institutions will rise, but their percentage of the
total college population will become smaller.
Public institutions: State and locally supported colleges
and universities are expanding their capacity steadily. In
the years ahead theywill carry by far the heaviest share of
America's growing student population.
Despite their growth, many of themare alreadyfeeling
the strain of the burden. Many state institutions, once
committed to accepting any resident with a high-school
diploma, are now imposing entrance requirements upon
applicants. Others, required by law or long tradition not
to turn away any high-schoolgraduate who applies, resort
in desperation to a high flunk-out rate in the freshman
year

manageable size. In other states, coordinated systems of
higher education are being devised to accommodate

And. as part of the gigantic population swell, what

chances ha\e your children?
to both QUESTIONS, there are some encouraging answers.
At the same time, the intelligent parent will not ignore
some danger signals.

FINDING ROOM FOR EVERYBODY
NOT every COLLEGE or university in the country is able to
expand its student capacity. A number have concluded
that, for one persuasive reason or another, thev must
maintain their present enrollments. They are not blind to
the need of American higher education, in the aggregate,
toaccommodate more students in the years ahead; indeed,

C9FYMGHT I«2 BY EDfTORIAL PROJICTS FOR EDUCATION

�students of differing aptitudes, high-school academic

records, and career goals.

Two-year colleges: Growing at a faster rate than any
other segment of U.S. higher education is a group comprising both public and independently supported institutions: the two-year, or "junior," colleges. Approximately
600 now exist in the United States, and experts estimate
that an average of at least 20 per year will be established
in the coming decade. More than 400 of the two-year
institutions are community colleges, located within commuting distance of their students.
Thesecolleges provide three mainservices: educationfor
students who will later transfer to four-year colleges or
universities (studies show they often do as well as those
who go directly from high school to a four-year institution, and sometimes better), terminal training for vocations (more and more important as jobsrequire higher
technical skills), and adult education and community
culturalactivities.
Evidence of their importance: One out of every four
students beginning higher education today does so in a
two-year college. By 1975, the ratio is likely to be one in
two.

Branch campuses: To meet local demands for educational institutions, some state universities have opened
branches in population centers distant from their main
campuses. The trend is likely to continue. On occasion,
however, the "branch campus" concept may conflict with
the "community college" concept. In Ohio, for example,
proponents of community two-year colleges are currently
arguing that locally controlled community institutions are
the best answer to the state's college-enrollment problems. But Ohio State University, Ohio University, and
Miami University, which operate off-campus centers and
whose leaders advocate the establishment of more, say
that taxpayers get bettervalue at lower cost from a university-run branch-campus system.
Coordinated systems: To meet both present and future
demands for higher education, a number of states are
attempting to coordinate their existing colleges and
universities and to lay long-range plans for developing
new ones.
California, a leaderin such efforts, has a "master plan"
involving not only the three main types of publicly supported institutions—the state university, state colleges,
and locally sponsored two-year colleges. Private institutions voluntarily take part in the master planning, also.
With at least 661,000 students expected in their colleges
and universities by 1975, Californians have worked out
a plan under which every high-school graduate will be
eligible to attend a juniorcollege; the top one-third will
be eligible for admission to a state college; and the top
one-eighth will be eligible to go directly from high school
to the University of California. The plan is flexible: students who prove themselves in a junior college, for

example, may transfer to the university. If past experience
is a guide, many will—with notable academic success.

2,000 colleges and
for your children.

How will you—and they—find it?
On the same day in late May of last year, 33,559 letters
went out to young people who had applied for admission
to the 1961 freshman class in one or more of the eight
schools that compose the Ivy League. Of these letters,
20,248 were rejection notices.
Not all of the 20,248 had been misguided in applying.
Admissions officers testify that the quality of the 1961 applicants was higher than ever before, that the competition
was therefore intense, and that many applicants who
'might have been welcomed in other years had to be
turned away in '61.
Even so, as in years past, a number of the applicants
had been the victims of bad advice—from parents,
teachers, and friends. Had they applied to other institutions, equally or better suited to their aptitudes and
abilities, they would have been accepted gladly, avoiding
the bitter disappointment, and the occasional tragedy, of
a turndown.
The Ivy League experience can be, and is, repeated in
dozens of other colleges and universities every spring.
Yet, while some institutions are rejecting more applications than they can accept, others (perhaps better qualified
to meet the rejected students' needs) still have openings in
theirfreshman classes onregistration day.
Educators, both in the colleges and in the secondary
schools, are aware of the problems in "marrying" the
right students to the right colleges. An intensive effort is
under way to relieve them. In the future, you may expect:
► Better guidance by high-school counselors, based on

�improved testing methodsand on improvedunderstanding
of individual colleges and their offerings.
colleges and univer► Better definitions, by individual
sities, of their philosophies of admission, their criteriafor
choosing students, their strengths in meeting the needs of
certain types of student and their weakness in meeting the
needs of others.
► Less parental pressure on their offspring to attend: the
college or university that mother or father attended; the
college or university that "everybody else's children" are
attending; the college or university that enjoys the greatest
sports-page prestige, the greatest financial-page prestige,
or the greatest society-page prestige in town.
► More awareness that children are different from one
another, that colleges are different from one another, and

that a happy match of children and institutions is within
thereach ofany parent (and student) who takes the pains
to pursue it intelligently.
► Exploration—but probably, in the near future, no
widespreadadoption—of a central clearing-house for college applications, with students stating their choices of
colleges in preferential order and colleges similarly listing
their choices of students. The "clearing-house" would
thereupon match students and institutions according to
their preferences.
Despite the likely growth of these practices, applyingto
college may well continue to be part-chaos, part-panic,
part-snobbishness for years to come. Butwith the aid of
enlightened parents and educators, it will be less so,
tomorrow, than itis today.

Whatwill they find

willfind when they get in—is likely to differ from

THE NEW BREED OF STUDENTS
come as news to no parents that their children
are differentfrom themselves.
Academically, they are proving to be more seriousthan
many of their predecessor generations. Too serious, some
say. They enter college with an eye already set on the
vocation they hope to pursue when they get out; college,
to many, is simply the means to that end.
Many students plan to marry as soon as they can afford
to, and some even before they can afford to. They want
families, homes, a fair amount of leisure, good jobs,
security. They dream not of a far-distant future; today's
students are impatient to translate their dreams into
reality, soon.
it will

Like most generalizations, these should be qualified.
Therewill be studentswho are quite far from the average,
and this is as it should be. But with international tensions, recurrent war threats, military-service obligations,
and talk of utter destruction of the race, the tendency is
for the young to want to cram their lives full of living—
with no unnecessary delays, please.
At the moment, there is littlelikelihood that the urge to
pace one'slife quickly and seriously will soon pass. This is
the tempo the adult world has set for its young, and they
will marcß doubletime to it.
Economic backgrounds of students will continue to
grow more diverse. In recent years, thanks to scholarships, student loans, and the spectacular growth of
public educational institutions, higher education has
become less and less the exclusive province of the sons
and daughters of thewell-to-do. The spread of scholarship
and loanprograms geared to family income levelswill intensify this trend, not only in low-tuitionpublic colleges
and universities but in high-tuition private institutions.
Students from foreign countries willflock to the U.S.for
college education, barring a totally deteriorated international situation. Last year 53,107foreign students, from
143 countries and political areas, were enrolled in 1,666
American colleges and universities—almost a 10 per cent
increase over the year before. Growing numbers of
African and Asian students accounted for the rise; the
growth is virtually certain to continue. The presence of

�such students on U.S. campuses—so per cent of them are
undergraduates—has already contributed to a greater
international awareness on the part of American students. The influence is bound to grow.
Foreign study by U.S. students is increasing. In 1959-60,
the mostrecent yearreported, 15,306 were enrolled in 63
foreign countries, a 12 per cent increase in a period of 12
months. Students traveling abroad during summer vacationsadd impressive numbers to this total.
WHAT THEY'LL STUDY
studies are in the course of change, and the changes will
affect your children. A new toughness in academic
standards will reflect the great amount of knowledge that
must be imparted in the college years.
Inthe sciences, changes are particularly obvious. Every
decade, writes Thomas Stelson of Carnegie Tech, 25 per
cent of the curriculum must be abandoned, due to

obsolescence. J. Robert Oppenheimer puts it another
way: nearly everything now known in science, he says,
"was not in any book when most of us went to school."
There will be differences in the social sciences and
humanities, as well. Language instruction, now getting
new emphasis, is an example. The use of language laboratories, with tape recordings and other mechanical
devices, is already popular and will spread. Schools once
preoccupied almost entirely with science and technology
{e.g., colleges of engineering, leading medical schools)
have now integrated social and humanistic studies into
their curricula, and the trend will spread to other institutions.
International emphasis also will grow. The big push will
be related to nations and regions outside the Western
World. For thefirst time on alarge scale, the involvement

of U.S. higher education will be truly global. This nonWestern orientation, says one college president (who is
seconded by many others) is"the new frontier in American higher education." For undergraduates, comparative
studies in both the social sciences and the humanities are
likely to be stressed. The hoped-for result: betterunderstanding of the human experience in all cultures.
Mechanics of teaching will improve. "Teaching machines" will be used more and more, as educators assess
their value and versatility (see Who will leach them? on
the following pages). Closed-circuit televisionwill carry a
lecturer's voiceand closeup views of his demonstrations to
hundreds of students simultaneously. TVand microfilm
will grow in usefulness as library tools, enabling institutions to duplicate, in small space, theresources of distant
libraries and specialized rare-book collections. Tape
recordings will put music and drama, performed by
masters, on every campus. Computers, alreadybecoming
almost commonplace, will be used for more and more
study and research purposes.
This availability of resources unheard-of in their
parents' day will enable undergraduates to embark on
extensive programs of independent study. Under careful
faculty guidance, independent study will equip students
with research ability, problem-solving techniques, and
bibliographic savvy which shouldbe of immensevalue to
them throughout their lives. Many of yesterday's college
graduates still don't know how to work creatively in unfamiliar intellectual territory: to pinpoint a problem,
formulate intelligent questions, use a library, map a research project. Therewill be far fewer gaps of this sort in
the training of tomorrow's students.
Great new stress on quality will be found at all institutions. Impending explosive growth of the college population has put the spotlight, for years, on handling large
numbers of students; this has worried educators who
feared that quality might be lost in a national preoccupation with quantity. Big institutions, particularly those with
"growth situations," are now putting emphasis on maintaining high academic standards—and even raising them
—while handling high enrollments, too. Honors programs, opportunities for undergraduate research, insistence on creditable scholastic achievement are symptomatic of the concernfor academic excellence.
It's important to realize that this emphasis on quality
will be found not only in four-year colleges and universities, but in two-year institutions, also. "Each [type of
institution] shall strive for excellence in its sphere," is
how the California master plan for higher education puts
it;the same idea is pervading higher education at all levels
throughout the nation.
WHERE'S THE FUN?
extracurricular activity has been undergoing subtle
changes at colleges and universities for years and is likely

�to continue doing so. Student apathy toward some activities—political clubs, for example—is lessening. Toward
other activities—the light, the frothy—apathy appears to
be growing. Thereis less interest in spectator sports, more
interest in participant sports thatwill be playable for most
of a lifetime. Student newspapers, observes the dean of
students at a college on the Eastern seaboard, no longer
rant about band uniforms, closing hours for fraternity
parties, and the need for bigger pep rallies. Sororities are
disappearing from the campuses of women's colleges.
"Fun festivals" are granted less time and importance by
students; at one big midwestern university, for example,
the events of May Week —formerly a five-day wingding
involving floats, honorary-fraternity initiations, facultystudent baseball, and crowning of the May Queen—are
now crammed into one half-day. In spite of the wellpublicized antics of a relatively few roof-raisers (e.g.,
student rioters at several summer resorts last Labor Day,
student revelers at Florida resorts during spring-vacation
periods), a new seriousness is the keynote of most student

activities.
"The faculty and administration are more resistant to
these changes than the students are," jokes the president of
a women's college in Pittsburgh. "The typical student
congress wants to abolish the junior prom; the dean is the

one who feels nostalgic about it: 'That's the one event
Mrs. Jones and I looked forward to each year.'"
A QUEST FOR ETHICAL VALUES
education, more and more educators are saying, "should
be much more than the mere retention of subject matter."
Here are three indications of how the thoughts of many
educators are running:
"If [the student] enters college and pursues either an
intellectual smorgasbord, intellectual Teutonism, or the
cash register," says a midwestern educator, "his education will have advanced very little, if at all. The odds are
quite good that he will simply have exchanged one form of
Certainly there is no incombarbarism for another

.

.

patibility between being well-informed and being stupid;
such a condition makes the student a danger to himself
and society."
Says another observer: "I prophesy that a more serious
intention and mood will progressively characterize the
campus
This means, most of all, commitment to the
use ofone's learning in fruitful, creative, and noble ways."
"The responsibility of the educated man," says the
provost of a state university in New England, "is that he
make articulate to himselfand to otherswhat he is willing
to bet his life on."

W ho will teach them?
the quality of the teachingthat your children
can look forward to, and you will know much
about the effectiveness of the education they will
receive. Teaching, tomorrow as in the past, is the heart of
higher education.
It is no secret, by now, that college teaching has been
on a plateau of crisis in the U.S. for some years. Much of
the problem istraceable to money. Salaries paid to college
teachers lagged far behind those paid elsewhere in jobs
requiring similarly high talents. While real incomes, as
well as dollarincomes, climbedfor most other groups of
Americans, the real incomes of college professors not
merely stood still but dropped noticeably.
The financial pinch became so bad, for some teachers,
that despite obvious devotion to their careers and obvious
preference for this profession above all others, they had to
leave for other jobs. Many bright young people, the sort
who ordinarily would be attracted to teaching careers,
took one look at the salary scales and decided to make

■

their mark inanother field.
Has the situation improved?

Willit be better when your children go to college?
Yes. At the moment, faculty salaries and fringe benefits
(on the average) are rising. Since the rise started from an
extremely disadvantageous level, however, nooneis getting
rich in the process. Indeed, on almost every campus the
real income in everyrank of the faculty is still considerably
less than it once was. Nor have faculty salary scales,
generally, caught up with the national scales in competitive
areas such as business and government.
But the trend is encouraging. If it continues, the
financial plight of teachers—and the serious threat to
education which it has posed—should be substantially
diminished by 1970.
None of this will happen automatically, ofcourse. For
evidence, check the appropriations for higher education
made at your state legislature's most recent session. If
yours was like a number of recent legislatures, it "economized"—and professorial salaries suffered. The support
which has enabled many colleges to correct the most
glaringsalary deficiencies must continueuntil the problem
is fully solved. After that, it is essential to make sure thai

in fashioning the minds and attitudes of your children—is
not jeopardized again by a failure to pay its practitioners
adequately.

are other angles to the question ofattracting
and retaining a goodfaculty besides money.
► The betterthe student body—the more challenging, the more lively its members—the more attractive isthe
job of teaching it. "Nothing is more certain to make
teaching a dreadful task than the feeling that you are
dealing with people who have no interest inwhat you are
talking about," says an experienced professor at a small
college in the Northwest.
"An appalling number of the students I have known
were bright, tested high on their College Boards, and
still lacked flair and driveand persistence," says another
professor. "I have concluded that much of the difference
between them and the students who are 'alive' must be
traceable to their homes, their fathers, their mothers.
Parents who themselves take the trouble to be interesting
—and interested—seem to send us children who are
interesting and interested."
► The better the library and laboratory facilities, the
more likely is a college to be able to recruit and keep a
good faculty. Even small colleges, devoted strictly to
undergraduate studies, are finding ways to provide their
faculty members with opportunities to do independent
reading and research. They find it pays in many ways: the
faculty teaches better, is more alert to changes in the
subject matter, is less likely to leave for other fields.
The better the public-opinion climate toward teachers
in a community, the more likely is a faculty to be strong.
Professors may grumble among themselves about all the
invitations they receive to speak to women's clubs and

alumni groups ("When am I supposed to find thetime to
check my lecture notes?"), but they take heart from the
high regard for their profession which such invitations
from the community represent.
► Part-time consultant jobs are an attraction to good
faculty members. (Conversely, one ofthe principal checkpoints for many industries seeking new plant sites is,

opportunities to base their classroom teachings on

colleges and universities must do more than
hold on to their present good teachersand replace
those whoretire or resign. Over the next few years
many institutions must add to their teaching staffs at a
prodigious rate, in order to handle the vastly larger
numbers of students who are already forming lines in the
admissions office.
The ability to be a college teacher is not a skill that can
be acquired overnight, or in a year or two. A Ph.D.
degree takes at least four years to get, after one has
earned his bachelor's degree. More often it takes six or
seven years, and sometimes 10to 15.
In every ten-year period since the turn of the century,
as Bernard Berelson ofColumbia University has pointed
out, the production of doctorates in the U.S. has doubled.
But only about 60 per cent of Ph.D.'s today go into
academic life, compared with about 80 per cent at the turn
of the century. And only 20 per cent wind up teaching
undergraduates in liberal arts colleges.
Holders of lower degrees, therefore, will occupy many
teachingpositions on tomorrow's college faculties.
This is not necessarily bad. A teacher's ability is not
always defined by the number of degrees he is entitled to

of a lifetime. Student newspapers, observes the dean of
students at a college on the Eastern seaboard, no longer
rant about band uniforms, closing hours for fraternity
parties, and the need for bigger pep rallies. Sororities are
disappearing from the campuses of women's colleges.
"Fun festivals" are granted less timeand importance by
students; at one big midwestern university, for example,
the events of May Week—formerly a five-day wingding
involving floats, honorary-fraternity initiations, facultystudent baseball, and crowning of the May Queen—are
now crammed into one half-day. In spite of the wellpublicized antics of a relatively few roof-raisers (e.g.,
student rioters at several summer resorts last Labor Day,
student revelers at Florida resorts during spring-vacation
periods), a new seriousness is the keynote of most student

"The faculty and administration are more resistant to
thesechanges than the studentsare," jokes the president of
a women's college in Pittsburgh. "The typical student

one who feels nostalgic about it: 'That's the one event

Mrs. Jones and I lookedforward to each year.' "
A QUEST FOR ETHICAL VALUES
education, more and more educatorsare saying, "should
be much more than the mere retention of subject matter."
Here are three indications of how the thoughts ofmany
educators are running:
"If [the student] enters college and pursues either an
intellectual smorgasbord, intellectual Teutonism, or the
cash register," says a midwestern educator, "his educationwill have advanced very little, if at all. The odds are
quite good that he will simply have exchanged oneform of

patibility between being well-informed and being stupid;
such a condition makes the student a danger to himself
and society."
Says another observer: "I prophesy that a more serious
intention and mood will progressively characterize the
campus... This means, most of all, commitment to the
use ofone's learning in fruitful, creative, and noble ways."
"The responsibility of the educated man," says the
provost of a state university in New England, "is that he
make articulate to himselfand to otherswhat he is willing
to bet his life on."

Who will teach them?
the quality ofthe teaching that yourchildren
can look forward to, and you will know much
about the effectiveness of the education they will
receive. Teaching, tomorrow as in the past, is the heart of
higher education.
It is no secret, by now, that college teaching has been
on a plateau of crisis in the U.S. for some years. Much of
the problem is traceable to money. Salaries paid to college
teachers lagged far behind those paid elsewhere in jobs
requiring similarly high talents. While real incomes, as
well as dollar incomes, climbed for most other groups of
Americans, the real incomes of college professors not
merely stood still but dropped noticeably.
The financial pinch became so bad, for some teachers,
that despite obvious devotion to their careers and obvious
preference for this profession above all others, they had to
leave for other jobs. Many bright young people, the sort
who ordinarily would be attracted to teaching careers,
took one look at the salary scales and decided to make
their mark in another field.
Has the situation improved?

■

Will it be better when your children go to college?
Yes. At the moment, faculty salariesand fringe benefits
(on the average) are rising. Since the rise started from an
extremely disadvantageous level, however, noone isgetting
rich in the process. Indeed, on almost every campus the
realincome in everyrank of the faculty is still considerably
less than it once was. Nor have faculty salary scales,
generally, caught up with the nationalscales incompetitive
areas such as business and government.
But the trend is encouraging. If it continues, the
financial plight of teachers—and the serious threat to
education which it has posed—should be substantially
diminished by 1970.
None ofthis will happen automatically, ofcourse. For
evidence, check the appropriations for higher education
made at your state legislature's most recent session. If
yours was like a number of recent legislatures, it "economized"—and professorial salaries suffered. The support
which has enabled many colleges to correct the most
glaringsalary deficiencies must continue untilthe problem
is fully solved. After that, it is essential to make sure that

other ancles to the questionofattracting
and retaining a goodfaculty besides money.
The better the studentbody—the more challenging, themore lively its members—the more attractive isthe
job of teaching it. "Nothing is more certain to make
teaching a dreadful task than the feeling that you are
dealing with people who have no interest inwhat you are
talking about," says an experienced professor at a small
college in the Northwest.
"An appalling number of the students I have known
were bright, tested high on their College Boards, and
still lackedflair and drive and persistence," says another
professor. "I have concluded that much of the difference
between them and the students who are 'alive' must be
traceable to their homes, their fathers, their mothers.
Parents who themselves take the trouble to be interesting
—and interested—seem to send us children who are
interesting and interested."
► The better the library and laboratory facilities, the
more likely is a college to be able to recruit and keep a
good faculty. Even small colleges, devoted strictly to
undergraduate studies, are finding ways to provide their
faculty members with opportunities to do independent
reading andresearch. They find itpays in many ways: the
faculty teaches better, is more alert to changes in the
subject matter, is less likely to leavefor other fields.
► The better the public-opinion climate toward teachers
in a community, the more likely is a faculty to be strong.
Professors may grumble among themselves about all the
invitations they receive to speak to women's clubs and

alumni groups ("When am I supposed to find the time to
check my lecture notes?"), but they take heart from the
high regard for their profession which such invitations
from the community represent.

The ability to be a college teacher is not a skill that can
be acquired overnight, or in a year or two. A Ph.D.
degree takes at least four years to get, after one has
earned his bachelor's degree. More often it takes six or
seven years, and sometimes 10 to 15.
In every ten-year period since the turn of the century,
as Bernard Berelson of Columbia University has pointed
out, the production ofdoctorates in the U.S. has doubled.
But only about 60 per cent of Ph.D.'s today go into
academic life, compared with about 80 per cent at the turn
of the century. And only 20 per cent wind up teaching
undergraduates in liberal arts colleges.
Holders of lower degrees, therefore, will occupy many
teaching positions on tomorrow's collegefaculties.

always defined by the number of degrees he is entitled to

TEACHING MACHINES
for the improvement of instruction at all levels of schooling, including college, are
programs of learning presented through mechanical selfteaching devices, popularly called "teaching machines."
The most widely used machine, invented by Professor
Frederick Skinner of Harvard, is a box-like device with
holding great promise

receive.

THE TV SCREEN

long ago found only in the lounges of
dormitories and student unions, is now an accepted
teaching tool on many campuses. Its use will grow. "To
report on the use of television in teaching," says Arthur
S. Adams, past president of the American Council on
Education, "is like trying to catch a galloping horse."
For teaching closeup work in dentistry, surgery, and
laboratory sciences, closed-circuit TV is unexcelled. The
television, not

number of students who can gaze into a patient's gaping
mouth while a teacher demonstrates how to fill a cavity
is limited; when their place is taken by a TV camera and
the students cluster around TV screens, scorescan watch
—and see more, too.
Television, at large schools, has theadditionalvirtue of
extending the effectiveness of a single teacher. Instead of
giving the same lecture (replete with the same jokes) three
times to students filling the campus's largest hall, a professor can now give it once—and be seen in as many
auditoriums and classrooms as are needed to accommodate allregistrants in his course. Both the professor and
the jokes are fresher, as a result.

How effective is TV? Some carefully controlled studies
show that students taught from the fluorescent screen do
as well in some types of course (e.g., lectures) as those
sitting in the teacher's presence, and sometimes better.
But TV standardizes instruction to a degree that is not
always desirable. And, reports Henry H. Cassirer of
UNESCO, who has analyzed television teaching in the
U.S., Canada, Great Britain, France, Italy, Russia, and
Japan, students do not want to lose contact with their
teachers. They want to beable to ask questions as instruction progresses. Mr. Cassirer found effective, on the other
hand, the combination of a central TV lecturer with
classroom instructors who prepare students for the lecture
and then discuss it with them afterward.

three windows in its top. When the student turns a crank,
an item of information, along with a question about it,
appears in the lefthand window (A). The student writes
his answer to the question on a paper strip exposed in
another window (B). The student turns the crank again—
and the correct answer appears at window A.
Simultaneously, this action moves the student's answer
under a transparent shield covering window C, so that
the student can see, but not change, what he has written.
If the answer is correct, the student turns another crank,
causing the tape to be notched; the machine will by-pass
this item when the student goes through the series of questions again. Questions are arranged so that each item
builds on previous information the machine has given.
Such self-teaching devices have these advantages:
► Each student can proceed at his own pace, whereas
classroom lectures must be paced to the "average" student
—too fast for some, too slow for others. "With a machine," comments a University of Rochester psychologist,
"the brighter student could go ahead at a veryfast pace."
► The machine makes examinations and testing a rewarding and learning experience, rather than a punishment. If his answer is correct, the student is rewarded
with thatknowledge instantly; thisreinforces his memory
of the right information. If the answer is incorrect, the
machine provides the correct answer immediately. In large
classes, no teacher can provide such frequent—and individual—rewards and immediate corrections.
The machine smooths the ups and downs in the learn-

►

�ing process by removing some external sources of anxieties, such as fear of falling behind.
► If a student is having difficulty with a subject, the
teacher can check back over his machine tapes and find
the exact point at which the student began to go wrong.
Correction of the difficulty can be made with precision,
not gropingly as is usually necessary in machineless

classes.
Not only do the machines give promise of accelerating
the learning process; they introduce an individuality to

learning which has previously been unknown. "Where
television holds the danger of standardized instruction,"
saidJohn W. Gardner,president of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, in a report to then-President Eisenhower, "the self-teaching device can individualize instruction in ways not now possible—and the student is always
an active participant." Teaching machines are being
tested, and used, on a number of college campuses and
seem certain to figure prominently in the teaching of your

children.

Will they graduate?
an administrator at a university in the South
not long ago (he was the director of admissions, no
less, and he spoke not entirely in jest):
"I'm happy I went to college back when I did, instead
of now. Today, the admissions office probably wouldn't
let me in. If they did, I doubtthat I'd last more than a
semester or two."
Getting into college is a problem, nowadays. Staying
there, once in, can be even more difficult.
Here are some of the principal reasons why many
students fail to finish:
Academic failure: For one reason or another—not
always connected with a lack of aptitude or potential
scholastic ability—many studentsfail to make the grade.
Low entrance requirements, permitting students to enter
college without sufficient aptitude orprevious preparation,
also play a big part. In schools where only a high-school
diploma isrequired for admission, drop-outs and failures
during the first two years average (nationally) between 60
and 70 percent. Normally selective admissions procedures
usually cut thisrate down to between 20and 40 per cent.
Where admissions are based on keen competition, the
attrition rate is 10 per cent or less.
FUTURE outlook: High schools are tightening their
academic standards, insisting upon greater effort by
students, and teaching the techniques of note-taking, effective studying, and library use. Such measures will
inevitably better the chances of studentswhen they reach
college. Better testing and counseling programs should
help, by guiding less-able students away from institutions
where they'll be beyond their depth and into institutions

Said

better suited to their abilitiesand needs. Growing popular
of the two-year college concept will also help,
as will the adoption of increasingly selective admissions
procedures by four-year colleges and universities.
Parents can help by encouraging activities designed to
find the right academic spot for their children; by recogacceptance

nizing their children's strengths and limitations; by creating an atmosphere in which children will be encouraged to
read, to study, to develop curiosity, to accept new ideas.
Poor motivation: Students drop out ofcollege "not only
because they lack ability but because they do not have
the motivation for serious study," say persons who have
studied the attrition problem. This aspect of students'
failure to finish college is attracting attention from educafors andadministrators both incolleges andin secondary

schools.

future outlook: Extensive research is under way to
determine whether motivation can be measured. The
"Personal Values Inventory," developed by scholars at
Colgate University, is one promising yardstick, providing
information about a student's long-range persistence,
personal self-control, and deliberateness (as opposed to
rashness). Many colleges and universities are participating
in the study, in an effort to establish the efficacy of the
tests. Thus far, report the Colgate researchers, "the tests
have successfully differentiated between over- and underachievers in every college included in the sample."
Parents can help by their own attitudes toward scholastic achievement and by encouraging their children to

�develop independence from adults. "This, coupled with
the reflected image that a person acquires from his
parents—an image relating to persistence and other
traits and values—may have much to do with his orientation toward academic success," the Colgate investigators

say.
Money: Most parents think they know the cost of sending a child to college. But, a recent survey shows, relatively few of them actually do. The average parent, the
survey disclosed, underestimates college costs by roughly
40 per cent. In such a situation, parental savings for college purposes often run out quickly—and, unless the
student can fill the gap with scholarship aid, a loan, or
earnings from part-time employment, he drops out.
future outlook: A surprisingly high proportion of
financial dropouts are children of middle-income, not
low-income, families. If parents would inform themselves
fully about current college costs —and reinform themselves periodically, since prices tend to go up—a substantial part of this problem could be solved in the future by
realistic family savings programs.
Other probabilities: growing federal and state (as
well as private) scholarship programs; growing private
and governmental loan programs.
Jobs: Some students, anxious to strike out on their
own, are luredfrom college by jobsrequiring littleskill but
offering attractive starting salaries. Many such students
may have hesitated about going to college in the first
place and drop out at the first opportunity.
future outlook: The lure of jobs will always tempt
some students, but awareness of the value of completing
college—for lifelong financial gain, iffor no other reason
—is increasing.
Emotional problems: Some students find themselves
unable to adjust to college life and drop out as a result.
Often such problems begin when a student chooses a college that's "wrong" for him. It may accord himtoo much
or too littlefreedom; its pace may be too swift for him,
resulting in frustration, or too slow, resulting in boredom;
it may be "too social" or "not social enough."
future outlook: With expanding and more skillful
guidance counseling and psychological testing, more
students can expect to be steered to the "right" college
environment. This won'tentirely eliminatethe emotionalmaladjustmentproblem, but it should ease it substantially.
Marriage: Many students marry while still in college
butfully expect to continue their education.A number do
go on (sometimes wives withdraw from college to earn
money to pay their husbands' educational expenses).
Others have children before graduating and must drop
out ofcollege in order to support theirfamily.
future outlook: The trend toward early marriage
shows no signs of abating. Large numbers of parents
openly or tacitly encourage children to go steady and to
marry at an early age. More and more colleges areprovid-

ing living quarters for married undergraduate students.
Some even have day-care facilities for students' young
children. Attitudes and customs in their "peer groups"
will continue to influence young people on the question
of marrying early; in some groups, it's frowned upon; in
others, it's the thing to do.
and universities are deeply interested in
rinding solutions to theattrition problem in all its
aspects. Today, at many institutions, enrollment
resembles a pyramid: the freshman class, at the bottom,
is big; the sophomore class is smaller, the junior class still
smaller, and the senior class a mere fraction of the freshman group. Such pyramids are wasteful, expensive, inefficient. They represent hundreds, sometimes thousands, of
personal tragedies: youngpeople who didn'tmake it.
The goal of the colleges is to change the pyramid into a
straight-sided figure, with as many people graduating as
enter the freshman class. In the college of tomorrow, the
sides willnot yet have attained theperfect vertical, but—as
a result of improved placement, admissions, and academic practices—they should slope considerably lessthan
they do now.

Colleges

�What will college

have done for them?

your children are like about 33 per cent of today's
college graduates, theywill not end theirformal education when they get their bachelor's degrees. On they'll
go—to graduate school, to a professional school, or to an
advanced technological institution.
There are good reasons for their continuing:
► In four years, nowadays, one can only begin to scratch
the surface of the body of knowledge in his specialty. To
teach, or to hold down a high-ranking job in industry or
government, graduate study is becoming more and more
useful and necessary.
► Automation, in addition to eliminating jobs in unskilledcategories, will havean increasingly strongeffect on
persons holding jobs in middle management and middle
technology. Competition for survival will be intense.
Many students will decide that one way of competing
advantageously is to take as much formal education beyond the baccalaureate as they can get.
► One way in which women can compete successfully
with menfor high-level positions is to be equipped with a
graduate degree when they enter the job market.
► Students heading for school-teaching careers will
increasingly be urged to concentrate on substantive studies
in their undergraduate years and to take methodology
courses in a postgraduate schooling period. The same will
be true in many other fields.
► Shortages are developing in some professions, e.g.,
medicine. Intensive efforts will be made to woo more top
undergraduates into professional schools, and opportunities in short-supplied professions will become increasingly

IF

attractive.
► "Skills," predicts a Presidential committee, "may become obsoletein our fast-moving industrial society. Sound
education provides a basis for adjustment to constant and
abrupt change—a base on which new skills may be built."
The moralwill not be lost on tomorrow's students.
In addition to having such practical motives, tomorrow's students will be influenced by a growing tendency
to expose them to graduate-level work while they are still
undergraduates. Independent study will give them a taste
of the intellectual satisfaction to be derived from learning
on their own. Graduate-style seminars, with theirstimulating give-and-take offact and opinion, will exert a strong

appeal. As a result, for able students the distinction between undergraduate and graduate work will become
blurred and meaningless. Instead of arbitrary insistence
upon learning in two-year or four-year units, there will
be more attention paid to the length of time a student
requires—and desires—to immerse himself inthe specialty
that interests him.
A

ND even with graduate

or professional study, education is not likely to end for your children.
■4- ■*■ Administrators in thefield ofadult education—
or, more accurately, "continuing education"—expect that
within a decade the number of students under their wing
will exceed the number of undergraduates in American
colleges and universities.
"Continuing education," says Paul A. McGhee, dean
of New York University's Division of General Education
(where annually some 17,000 persons enroll in around
1,200 non-credit courses) "is primarily the education of
the already educated." The more education you have, the
more you are likely to want. Since more and more people
will go to college, it follows that more and more people
will seek knowledge throughout their lives.
We are, say adult-education leaders, departingfrom the
old notion that one works to live. In this day of automationand urbanization, a newconcept is emerging: "time,"
not "work," is the paramount factor in people's lives.
Leisure takes on a new meaning: along with golf, boating,

/\

�and partying, it now includes study. And he who forsakes
gardeningfor studying is less and less likely to be regarded
as the neighborhood oddball.
Certain to vanish are the last vestiges of the stigma that
has long attached to "night school." Although the concept of night school as a place for educating only the illiterate has changed, many who have studied at night—
either for credit or for fun and intellectual stimulationhave felt out of step, somehow. But such views are
obsolescent and soon will be obsolete.
Thus far, American colleges and universities—with
notable exceptions—have not led the way in providing
continuing educationfor their alumni. Most alumni have
beenforced to rely on local boards of education and other
civic and social groups to provide lectures, classes, discussion groups. These have been inadequate, and institutions
of higher education can be expected to assume unprecedented roles in the continuing-education field.
Alumni and alumnae are certain to demand that they
take such leadership. Wrote Clarence B. Randall in The
New York Times Magazine: "At institution after institution therehas come into being an organized and articulate
group of devoted graduates who earnestly believe... that
the college stillhas much to offer them."
When colleges and universitiesrespond on a large scale
to the growing demand for continuing education, the
variety of courses is likely to be enormous. Already, in
institutions where continuing education is an accepted
role, the range isfrom space technology to existentialism
to funeral direction. (When the University of California
offered non-credit courses in the first-named subject to
engineers and physicists, thecombinedenrollmentreached
4,643.) "From theworld of astronauts, to the highest of
ivory towers, to six feet under," is how one wag has
described the phenomenon.
of your children, after
they are graduated from tomorrow's colleges:
► They'll haveconsiderably morepolitical sophistication than did the average person who marched upto get
a diploma in their parents' day.Political parties now have
active student groups on many campuses and publish
material beamed specifically at undergraduates. Studentgovernment organizations are developing sophisticated
procedures. Nonpartisan as well as partisan groups, operating on a national scale, are fanning student interest in
current political affairs.
► They'll have an internationalorientationthat many of
their parents lacked when they left the campuses. The
presence of more foreign students in their classes, the
emphasis on courses dealing with global affairs, the front
pages of their daily newspapers will all contribute to this
change. They willfind their international outlook useful:
a recent government report predicts that "25 yearsfrom
now, one college graduate infour willfind at least part of

his career abroad in such places as Rio de Janeiro, Dakar,
Beirut,Leopoldville, Sydney, Melbourne, or Toronto."
► They'll have an awareness of unanswered questions,
to an extent that their parents probably did not have.
Principles that once were regarded (and taught) as incontrovertible fact are now regarded (and taught) as subject to constant alteration, thanks to thefrequent toppling
of long-held ideas in today's explosive sciences and
technologies. Says one observer: "My student generation,
if it looked at the world, didn't know it was 'loaded'.
Today's student has no such ignorance."
► They'll possess a broad-based liberal education, but
in their jobs many of them are likely to specialize more
narrowly than did their elders. "It is a rare bird today
who knows allabout contemporary physics and allabout
modern mathematics," said one of the world's most distinguished scientists not long ago, "and if he exists, I

haven'tfound him. Because of the rapid growth of science
it has become impossible for oneman to master any large
part of it; therefore, we have the necessity of specialization."
Your daughters are likely to be impatient with the
prospect of devoting their lives solely to unskilled labor as
housewives. Not only will more of tomorrow's women
graduates embark upon careers when they receive their
diplomas, but more of them will keep up their contacts
with vocational interests even during their period of childrearing. And even before the children are grown, more of
them will return to the working force, either as paid
employees or as highly skilledvolunteers.

►

UPON THEIR OWN OUTLOOK, parents Of
tomorrow's graduates will find some of the prospects good, some of them deplorable. In essence,
however, the likely trends oftomorrow are only continuations of trends that are clearly established today, and
moving inexorably.

you could do that, also—with your vote and your checkbook. As is clearly evident in the figures above, it is essential that you substantially increase both your direct

may be considerably higher.

at the University of Michigan for the U.S. Office of Education, does not include such items as clothing. And, as
we have attempted to stress by italicizing the word "average" wherever it appears, the bill can be considerably
higher, as well as somewhat lower. At a private college
for women (which is likely to get relatively little money
from other sources and must therefore depend heavily
upon tuition income) the hard-core costs alone may now
run as high as $2,600 per year.
Every parent must remember that costs will inevitably
rise, not fall, in the years ahead. In 1970, according to
one estimate, the cost of four years at the average state
university will be $5,800; at the average private college,
$11,684.

HOW TO AFFORD IT?

such

resources. Hard-core costs alone equal, at public institutions, about 13 per cent of the average American family's
annual income; at private institutions,about 23 per cent
of average annual income.
How do families afford it? How can you afford it?
Here is how the typical family pays the current average

Nearly half of all parents begin saving money for their
children's college education well before their children are
ready to enroll. Fourteen per cent report that they borrow
money to help meet college costs. Some 27 per cent taJce
on extra work, to earn more money. One infive mothers
does additional work in order to help out.
Financing the education of one's children is obviously,

for many families, a scramble—a piecing-together of
many sources offunds.
Is such scrambling necessary? The question can be
"answered only on a family-by-family basis. But these
generalizations do seem valid:
► Many parents think they are putting aside enough
money to pay most of the costs of sending their children
to college. But most parents seriously underestimate
what these costs will be. The only solution: Keep posted,
by checking college costs periodically. What was true of
college costs yesterday (and even of the figures in this
report, as nearly current as they are) is not necessarily
true of college costs today. It will be even less true of
college costs tomorrow.
► If they knew what college costs really were, and what
they are likely to be in the years when their children are
likely to enroll, many parents could save enough money.
They would start saving earlier and more persistently.
They would gear their family budgets to the need. They
would revise their savings programs from time to time,
as they obtained new information about cost changes.
► Many parents count on scholarships to pay their children's way. For upper-middle-income families, this reliance can be disastrous. By far the greatest number of
scholarships are now awarded on the basis of financial
need, largely determined by level of family income. (Colleges and other scholarship sources are seriously concerned about the fact, indicated by several studies, that
at least 100,000 of the country's high-school graduates
each year are unable to attend college, primarily for
financial reasons.) Upper-middle-income families are
among those most seriously affected by the sudden realization that they have failed to save enough for their
children's education.
Loan programs make sense. Since going to college
sometimes costs as much as buying a house (which most
families finance through long-term borrowing), long-term

►

�Using the current and the 1970 figures that were cited
earlier, tuition will probably have to carry, on the average, about 2 per cent more of the share of total educational costs than it now carries. Governmental support,
although increasing by about a billion dollars, will actually carry about 7 per cent less of the total cost than it
now does. Endowment income's share will remain about
the sameas at present. Revenues inthe category of "other
sources" can be expected to decline by about .8 per cent,
in terms of their share of the total load. Private gifts and
grants—from alumni,non-alumni individuals,businesses
and unions, philanthropic foundations, and religious denominations—must carry about 6 per cent more of the
total cost in 1970, if higher education is not to founder.
Alumnae and alumni, to whom colleges and universities must lookfor an estimated 25 per cent ($505 million)
of such gifts: please note.
repayment of college costs, by students or their parents,
strikes many people as highly logical.
Loans can be obtained from government and from
private bankers. Just last spring, the most ambitious
private loan program yet developed was put into operation: United Student Aid Funds, Inc., is the backer, with
headquarters at 420 Lexington Avenue, New York 17,
N.Y. It israising sufficient capital to underwrite areserve
fund to endorse $500 million worth of long-term, lowinterest bank loans to students. Affiliated state committees, established by citizen groups, will act as the
direct contact agencies for students.
In the 1957-58 academic year, loans for educational
purposes totaled only $115 million. Last year theytotaled
an estimated $430 million. By comparison, scholarships
from all sources last year amounted to only $160 million.
IS THE COST TOO HIGH?

as they seem, tuition rates are bargains, in this
sense: They do not begin to pay the cost of providing a
college education.
On the national average, colleges and universities must
high

receive between three and four additional dollars for
every one dollar that they collect from students, in order
to provide their services. At public institutions, the ratio
of non-tuition money to tuition money is greater than
the average: the states typically spend more than $700
for every student enrolled.
Even the gross cost of higher education is low, when
put in perspective. In terms ofAmerica's total production
of goods and services, the proportion of the gross national product spent for higher education is only 1.3 per
cent, according to government statistics.
To put salariesand physical plant on a soundfooting,
colleges must spend more money, in relation to the gross
national product, than they have been spending in the
past. Before they can spend it, they must get it. From
what sources?

CAN COLLEGES BE MORE EFFICIENT?
not infrequently,
other business men—sometimes tear their hair over the

industrial cost accountants —and,

"inefficiencies" they see in higher education. Physical
facilities—classrooms, for example—are in use for only
part of the 24-hour day, and sometimes they stand idle
for three months in summertime. Teachers "work"
i.e., actually stand in the front of their classes—for only

—

a fraction ofindustry's 40-hour week. (The hours devoted
to preparation and research, without which a teacher
would soon become a purveyor of dangerously outdated
misinformation, don't show on formal teaching schedules
and arethus sometimes overlooked by persons making a
judgment in terms of business efficiency.) Some courses
are given for only a handful of students. (What a waste
of space and personnel, some cost analysts say.)
A few of these "inefficiencies" are capable of being
curbed, at least partially. The use of physical facilities is
being increased at some institutions through the provision
of night lectures and lab courses. Summer schools and
year-round schedules are raising the rate of plant utilization. But not all schools are so situated that they can
avail themselves ofeven these economies.
The president of the Rochester (N.Y.) Chamber of
Commerce observed not long ago:
"The heart of the matter is simply this: To a great
extent, the very thing which is often referred to as the
'inefficient' or 'unbusinesslike' phase of a liberal arts
college's operation is really but an accurate reflection of
[American business and
its true essential nature
industry] have to understand that much of liberal education which is urgently worth saving cannot be justified
on a dollars-and-cents basis."
In short, although educators have as much of an obligation as anyone else to use money wisely, you just can't
run a college like a railroad. Your children would be
cheated, if anybody tried.

..

�In sum:
"«r ~r ttjen

your

children go to college, what will

be like? Their college will, in short, be
\/\/ college
ready for them. Its teaching staff will be compe-

'

tent and complete. Its courses will be good and, as you
would wish them to be, demanding of the best talents
that your children possess. Its physical facilities will surpass those you knew in your college years. The opportunities it will offer your children will be limitless.

If.
That is the important word.
Between now and 1970 (a date that the editors arbitrarily selected for most of their projections, although
the date for your children may come sooner or it may
come later), much must be done to build the strength of
America's colleges and universities. For, between now
and 1970, they will be carrying an increasingly heavy
load in behalfof the nation.
They will need more money—considerably more than
is now available to them—and they will need to obtain
much of it from you.

They will need, as always, the understanding by
thoughtful portions of the citizenry (particularly their
own alumni and alumnae) of the subtleties, the sensitiveness, the fine balances of freedom and responsibility
withoutwhich the mechanism ofhigher education cannot
function.
They will need, if they are to be of highest service to
your children, the best aid which you are capable of
giving as a parent: the preparation of your children to
value things of the mind, to know the joy of meeting and
overcoming obstacles, and to develop their own personal
independence.
Your children are members of the most promising
American generation. (Every new generation, properly,
is so regarded.) To help them realize their promise is a
job to which the colleges and universities are dedicated.
It is their supreme function. It is the job to which you, as
parent, are also dedicated. It is your supreme function.
With your efforts and the efforts of the college of tomorrow, your children's future can be brilliant. If.

�HAVE YOU HEARD...
Council approves merger with state
By unanimous vote, the University Council
approved an agreement preliminary to merging with

the State University. Chairman Seymour H. Knox
termed the action, "the most important single step"
towards the affiliation, to be effective September
1,1962.
The historic session was held March 10, in the
president's dining room, high in the Marine Trust
building. There were 23 Council members on hand to
consider the four-page resolution which calls for the
transfer of all the University property and assets,
including most of its endowment to the State University. These monies would be only used for the
support of the institution succeeding to The University

of Buffalo.

Prior to themerger the agreement provides for the
establishment of a separate non-stock educational
corporation which will beknown as "The University
of Buffalo Foundation Inc." The University will
transfer to it from its endowment funds $3,089,000
and the balances in the Medical, Dental, Pharmacy
and Legal Participating Stabilization Funds but not
in excess of $201,050. These funds would be held
and used in the same manneras they have been previously under the constitutions and by-laws of the
Participating Funds.
Of the endowment funds transferred one-half or
$1,544,500 would be available both as to principal
and incomefor the purposes of the Foundation. The
other half would be held separately, the income
would be paid over to the Foundation for a period
of five years and at the end of five years the principal amount would be transferred to the State University. The Foundation would be governed by a
board of nine trustees who would be elected by the
Trustees of State University. (Official spokesman
feel these members will probably be from Buffalo.)
NewYork State will make provision for the mortgage indebtedness of the University to the U. S.
Housing and Home Finance Agency for the dormitoriesand the student union; probably thesewill be
assumed by the New York St'-e Dormitory
Authority.
One of the merger's conditions is that the legislature enact bills needed to carry out the provisions
of the merger agreement and that the State Legislature pay the University whatever funds are
available by the Legislature prior to the merger. (At
press time, the Governor disclosed that a $2.85
million item for capital construction had been included in his 1962-63 budget. This figure includes

the $2 million not previously earmarked in the

budget and $850,000 in the current year's deficiency
bill.)
Other general provisions had to do with the benefits of present employees of the University.

Pharmacy celebrates 75th anniversary
The School of Pharmacy will formally celebrate
its Diamond Anniversary during the week of April
29, with a two-night Open House at the School on
campus, and a special 75th Anniversary Banquet at
the Hotel Lafayette.
Open House will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, May 1 and 2 in the two year old
Pharmacy wing in the Health Sciences Center.
Between the hours of 7 and 11 both nights, the
students will be hosts to the general public and all
University of Buffalo alumni. Scores of exhibitsand
demonstrations in the School's many laboratories
and classrooms will offer a dramatic portrayal of
modern pharmaceutical education in all its aspects.
The School's spectacular $35,000 "Model Pharmacy", a state-licensed facility, will also be open
for inspection.
Special emphasis will be placed on the historical
development of Pharmacy over the past threequarters of a century. Of particular interest to
Pharmacy Alumni will be the gallery of old photographs, showing former graduating classes and activities, dating many decades back.
Thursday evening, May 3, will be the highlight
of the Diamond Jubilee for Pharmacy Alumni. Capping the Spring Clinic activities, being held earlier
that day, will be the 75th Anniversary Banquet,
which is expected to be the most gala event in the
history of the School of Pharmacy. Invitations have
been issued to every person ever connected with the
School, which should provide for many a nostalgic
encounter.
Highlighting the banquet will be addresses by
two very distinguished guests-—Mayor Chester
Kowal and Representative Thaddeus J. Dulski.
The banquet will offer a rare opportunity for
alumni to renew old friendships and acquaintances,
since it is the type of occasion which can only be
celebrated once in a generation. Since accommodations will be limited, all Pharmacy Alumni are
urged to write or telephone the School of Pharmacy
at once for reservations.

paper prepared by Richard Hofstadter as a U.B.
senior in 1937. Its publication in theAmerican Historical Review was the first of a long series of professional honors and distinctions that have fallen to
the lot of thisalumnus, now DeWitt Clinton Professor of History at Columbia University.
In 1944, his study of Social Darwinism inAmerican
Thought, 1860-1915 was honored by publication
under the sponsorship of the Beveridge Memorial
Fund of theAmerican Historical Association. "Mr.
Hofstadter," wrote Howard Mumford Jones in a
review of this volume, "is compact, lucid, informed,
vigorous," and his book, in the words of the same
critic, was "in many ways a model of its kind." Then
came theaward of an Alfred A. Knopf Fellowship in
History, which assisted the young author in the
writing and publication in 1948of a volume of essays
entitled The American Political Tradition and the
MenWho MadeIt. Seven years lateranother volume,
The Age of Reform: From Bryan to F. D. R., was
awarded a Pulitzer Prize in History. Other studies
dealt with the history of academic freedom and of
higher education inthe UnitedStates,and theauthor
then set out to analyze the recent trend towardantiintellectualismin our civilization, a subject on which
he delivered one of the Fenton Lectures at U.B. in
1957. Also in 1957, in collaboration with two other
scholars, he published The United States, a popular
textbook for colleges.
Graduating summa cum laudein 1937, youngHofstadter had been steered by his family toward a
career in the law. He gave legal studies a trial but
found that they did not enlist his enthusiasm and
was soon back at work inhisfavorite field of history,

30

this time at Columbia University. After receiving his
Ph. D. degree there, magna cum laude, he taught for
a number of years at the University of Maryland at
a time when academic studies in that institution did
not enjoy the full sympathy of the president, a former
football coach. He was glad to return to New York
and Columbia, where eventually he became a full
professorship in American history. Inaddition to his
regular program at Columbia he has lectured at
Princeton and the University of Chicago, and has
taught abroad at the Salzburg Seminar in American
Studies and been lecturer or consultant at the Universities of London, Cambridge, and Oxford.
His nationwide and international reputation he
owes in part to his eminence as lecturer and teacher,
in part to the brillianceand originality of hispublications. His Social Darwinism inAmerican Thought, an
outgrowth of his doctoral dissertation, analyzed for
the first time the inception, rise, and decline of the
application of the Darwinian theory of evolution
through the survival of thefittest to human society
in the United States. It is almost if not quite unique
among doctoral dissertations in having become a
popular paper-back. The American Political Tradition and the Men Who Made It is a collection of
twelve essayl!, beginning with the "Founding
Fathers" and running through Jefferson, Jackson,
Calhoun,Lincoln, and others, to the two Roosevelts
Wilson,and Hoover. The essays, some of which have
become minor classics, are penetrating and critical
studies of outstanding American leaders and their
contributions to our political philosophy.
The most controversial of Professor Hofstadter's
books is The Age ofReform. Here his interpretation
differs sharply from the traditional. Where, for example, earlier scholars had built their interpretations
of the Progressive Movement around the ideas of
key individuals, Hofstadter was concerned chiefly
with social classes. In particular, hefound the motivation for the reform movement of the 1890's and
early 1900'sin the "status revolution"—in the dissatisfaction of white-collar professional and small
business groups with theirrelative decline in status,
as the influence and respect that they had formerly
enjoyed passed to such figures as the spokesmen for
the great corporations. This new interpretation has
not won universal acceptance, and the same may
be said of certain minor aspects of it, such as the
attribution to the Progressive Movement of the originating or promoting of such ugly phenomena as antiSemitism and otherformsof intolerance.But whether
or not one goes all the way with Richard Hofstadter
in his interpretations of American history, one must
concede that he is one of the most challenging and
provocative of contemporary historians.— Julius Pratt

�KISS ME KATE
A smashing student musical production that
sold out completely before opening night

The Spectrum referred to Elaine Kussack as
"the most glamorous package of talent
Baird has yet seen." Her subtle way with
the word or firecracker assault of "I Hate
Men" made her the musical's biggest star.

In the second act, Joe Freeman and John
stole the show with the delightful,
"Brush Up Your Shakespeare," which is
Boylan

done to an amiable soft shoe dance routine.

Philip Wychodzki and Dorothy Laßrum as the show's
second leads made a wonderful team, singing "Why Can't
You Behave?" and "Always True to You in My Fashion".

Paul Hangauer's well-spaced dancing
chorus deserved honors for the small
miracle of economical footwork they presented on the tiny stage of Baird Auditorium.

The show was produced by Richard Marshall who also
conducted the orchestra; Irwin T. Atkins was the director;
Boris Baranovic was the set, costume and lightingdesigner.

The convocation was arranged in conjunction with
reopening of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, and
dedication of its $2 million addition. The ceremony
was held in Lockwood MemorialLibrary, in a setting
of rarely exhibitedpaintings from private collections.
Thefirst convocation occurredin 1946on the University's 100thanniversary.
Mr. Knox, president of theFine Arts Academy, is
the major benefactor of the gallery, having donated
to it the 165works of contemporary art in the past
seven years, gifts that have helped it gain recognition
as one of the outstanding repositories of modernart
in the world.
Dr. Furnas conferred the same degree on seven
other leaders inthe world of art: Sir Herbert Read
of London, art critic and poet; Willem J. H. Sandberg, director of theStedelijk Museum, Amsterdam;
Kenzo Tange, leading architect of Tokyo; James
Johnson Sweeney, director of the Fine Arts Department, Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, and a former
director of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Gordon
Bunshaft, the architect who designed the AlbrightKnox addition, a Buffalo nativeand Lafayette High
School graduate; and Alfred E. Barr, director of
collections, Museum of ModernArt, NewYork City.

Harriman receives Chancellor's Medal
The University's highest award—the Chancellor's
Medal was presented at the Midyear Commencement, February 22, to Lewis G. Harriman, chairman
of the board of the Manufacturers &amp; Traders Trust
Co., and a member of the Council since 1944.
Citing Mr. Harriman as a "human being of enormous zest and great heart", Dr. Furnas praised him
"for achievements truly great and enobling, which
dignify the performer and Buffalo in the eyes of
the world".
When he assumed the presidency of the Fidelity
Trust Company of Buffalo, January 7, 1924, Mr.
Harriman, at 34, was the youngest bank president in
the country. In 1925,he presided over the mergerof
Fidelity with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Co.
He became chairman of the board in 1954.
Mr. Harriman hasalso played an important role in
community activities. He was one of the founders of
the Buffalo Better Business Bureau, served as a director of 13 major companies, and as a director of the
American Red Cross, the Buffalo Society of Natural
Sciences, MillardFillmore Planning Association.
His service to the University has been distinguished. He was elected to the Council in 1944. In

32

1955 he succeeded to the vice-chairmanship, and
has served onfive committees.

which was unveiledreently. Throughout his
ifetime and in his will,
Dr. Barnes donated
$211,009.83 to the university. He died August 2,
1958 after more than 65 years of affiliation with
Mercy Hospital in Chicago. He also was on the staff
of the medical school at Northwestern for many
years, rising to therank offull professor and heading
various departments throughout his career. Dr.
Barnes was born in England and migrated to the
U. S. with his parents in 1877. He graduated from
the Medical School in 1892. When he died he was the
oldest doctor on the Mercy Hospital staff at 89.

New Engineering division
The new division of Interdisciplinary Studies and
Research, described as the third major step taken at
the University in the last few years to increase the
stature of the School of Engineering, by Dean E.
Arthur Trabant, is scheduled to begin classes in
September.
The other two steps notedwere the establishment
of a Department of Civil Engineering under Dr.
Robert Ketter and a Department of Chemical Engineering under Dr. Joseph Bergantz.
In the newest division, fields of study include:
Nuclear Engineering—Students will have theWestern New York Nuclear Research Center close at
hand.Its scientific director, Dr.Ralph F. Lumb, is a
member of the Engineering School faculty and is
expected to begin teaching graduate courses next
the study of reactions of the
year. Biophysics
human body under stress. The division will coordinate its study with the Medical School's Department
of Biophysics and thework of the Biology Department in the College of Arts and Sciences. Another
field which might fall under the new division is space
engineering, including fluid mechanics.
Dr. Irving H. Shames, formerly chairman of engineering studies at Pratt Institute in NYC,will head
the new division. He received his BS in mechanical
engineering in 1948 from Northeastern University,
his MS inmechanical engineering in 1949from Harvard University and his PhD in applied mechanics in
1953from the University of Maryland.

of new products such as gas turbines, DDT and such new materials as synthetic rubber, aviation
gasoline and plastics. Thus, the
contractor receives, in addition to
costs and fees for performing the
R&amp;D,all thefinancial advantages
of the commercial applications of
government-sponsored inventions.
These are undeniable advantages, and,in many cases, they are
apparently more important to
companies than patent rights.
Nevertheless, it is not correct to
assume that the commercial adaptation of government-sponsored
research involves nofurther development costs or risks. In many
instances, it does not. But in other
cases, firms may be unwilling to
bear the additionalcosts and risks
without exclusive licenses to government-owned patents.
A FLEXIBLE APPROACH

Evidently a flexible approach
in the handling of government
owned patents is called for. The
proper approach is suggested by
the experience of the Research
Corporation, a company thatmarkets patents for universities, and
apparently with great success.This
company sells its patent rights
mainly on a nonexclusive basis.
However,when development costs
appear to be very large, exclusive
rights have been granted for a
limited period not in excess of
five years. Here, then, is a model
that might be used in setting up
an appropriately flexible system
of managing government-owned
patents.
A nation that has shown so
much ingenuity in adapting to
technical change should certainly
beable to adjust to social and economic change as well. Our patent
system today serves a very different society from the one that
existed at the time of its inception.
Any of the proposals advanced
above would provide a sound basis
for reform.

&lt;p&gt;The Alumni Association of the University of Buffalo was established in 1926 and began a quarterly publication for graduates of all divisions of the university. This was the first publication for alumni issued by the university. The Alumni News of University of Buffalo followed by University of Buffalo News, University of Buffalo Alumni Council Bulletin, and University of Buffalo Alumni Bulletin communicated news about the university and its alumni from 1926 until the private University of Buffalo merged into the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;

�law school history
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF a law school in connection
with the University of Buffalo had been considered
for years,and somewhat casually discussed. As early
as 1885, James Fraser Gluck, a well-known attorney
and man of affairs in Buffalo, who had addressed the
medical graduates in the morning, spoke at the evening banquet in response to a toast to the legal profession. He dealt with the subject of a law school in
Buffalo so convincingly that on the following day a
long communication, inspired by the speech, appeared in all the newspapers; he held informal interviews with many of the leaders of the Buffalo bar
(Adelbert Moot, James 0. Putnam, Judge Charles
Beckwith, Judge James M. Smith, and others.) A
short time later the suggestion took definite shape.
Gluck, of course, must not be given the entire
credit; it was in the cards that the third of the University's professional divisions would be a school of
law; but it seems obvious that, coming at the
moment that it did; was largely a result of Gluck's
tireless and enthusiastic efforts.

The other early enthusiast was Charles P. Norton
who served on the lawfaculty for 21 years and later
became Chancellor of the University. In a history of
thelaw schoolwhich he published inThe Green Bag,
October 1889,Norton told how the organizers of the
school believed that law instruction could best be
given by lawyers engaged in the active practice of
the profession.
"The alliance between the courts and the Bar on
one hand and the School on the other, was the closer
because the School instructors were from the four
hundred members of the Judiciary and Bar of Buffalo. The Law School was, infact, the enterprise of
the Buffalo Bar, in the interest of the more thorough
and effective training of its own future members.
Five judges who were holding courts almost daily
became members of its faculty. Attorneys who had
won reputations as specialists in various branches
gladly gave their time and their services to it. The
members of the Bar who were not actively engaged
in theLaw School offered places intheir offices and

objectives. The history is excerpted from an unpublished
law manuscript of Julian Park who is the University historian.

the benefit of an older lawyer's supervision of study
to every student who would come. In this respect
the Law School occupied a rather unusual position
among the schools of the country as the instruction
thus secured was, of course, eminently practical."
The Buffalo Law School had been founded on an
independent basis in 1887, but it was affiliated for a
time with Niagara University, instruction being
held in the old shabby building of that institution
on Ellicott Street near Clinton. Affiliation of a school
with a distant university is not rare; but students
as well as teachers needed access to large libraries,
the most accessible of which (before the School built
up an adequate collection) was the County Library
in the County Hall, where the librarian for some
years was a member of the School faculty.
So the schoolwished to change its connection, and
at a meeting of the faculty held on May 18, 1891,
those present petitioned the Council of the University of Buffalo to admit the law school as a division
of the University.
The first dean was Charles Daniels, justice of the
Supreme Court from 1863 to 1891, a member of
Congress from 1892 to 1896, and appropriately he
was named professor of constitutional law. Leßoy
Parker, professor of the law of contracts and municipal law was named vice-dean.
It will be gathered that the Buffalo Law School
from its beginning was a practical school. In its
earliest days it had no money on hand, no building,
library, or guaranty fund to meet its debts (which
had to be assumed by members of the faculty). The

School retained its unpaid faculty until the appointment of Carlos C. Alden as full-time dean in 1904,
who then served for 32 years.
The nucleus of a building fund was secured by
subscription among alumni and the attorneys of
the City in 1917, and a location was purchased on
Eagle Street directly opposite City Hall. This was
the building which housed the law firm of Hoyt and
Spratt. At last the Law School had permanent
quarters.

When this building was torn down, classes were
held in Toy nsend Hall. Alumni and friends again
rallied to the ;ause, donating the funds necessary to
construct the present Law School which was opened
in 1952. Part of the building has been leased to the
Erie County Bar Association, bringing local lawyers
into even closer contact with students.
At the present time, there is some talk of moving
the Law School to the campus, however no definite
plans in terms of when thiswould be done have been
formulated. The building is geared to accommodate
300 students, and present enrollmentis slightly over
200, so there is still room to expand. There are ten
full-time faculty members including the dean and
twelve part-time instructors.
This coming Fall the School of Law celebrates its
seventy-fifth anniversary of legal education inWestern NewYork. With the existing plans for new programs and new facilities, an even more significant
standard of service to the legal community and
professional advancement is expected before the
School passes the century mark.

goals and objectives
THE UNIVERSITY OF Buffalo School of Law, as a
university law school soon to be part of the State
University of New York, and with a historical relationship to the benchand barof Western NewYork,
has clearly defined responsibilities. Foremost is the
responsibility to give the soundest possible legal
training to those who will constitute, as their predecessors have, the largest proportion of the lawyers
and judges in Western New York. Second is the
closely related responsibility of assuring those
prospective lawyers and judges a breadth of training
which will enablethem to discharge effectively their
obligation to the community to maintain high
standards in the administration of justice and, as

public servants, to assist in the wise formulation
and sound expression of public policy. Third is the
responsibility of the School through its scholarly
activities to advance the understanding of the law in
American society and the fitness of our legal institutions to achieve society's goals.
These responsibilities shape the
threefold objectives of the Law
School. To provide an educational
experience which, in addition to
providing a broad grasp of the
substantive contentand the procedures of American
Law, will foster those professional qualities which
are found inthe best kind of legal practitioner. The.

�Associate professors, Louis A. Del Corto, LLB'SI and Daniel H. Distler are two new full-time faculty members who

necessary qualities of workmanship, to be effective
in the service of a client's cause, must be based
upon a firm sense of ethical responsibility in dealing
with the client, other lawyers, and the courts, as
well as a sensitivity to those larger social considerationswhich affect the best interests of the client in
the long run.
To train lawyers not only to solve
client problems but also to contribute toward the solution of the
larger problems of society itself.
The education of a lawyer to meet
this responsibility whether as legislator, administrator, judge, or scholar, or as a member of his
profession
must be founded on a clear understanding of the nature of law, its role in society and
the functioning of its various organs.
As part of a university, the
University of Buffalo Law School
embraces the pursuit of truth
about law as a social institution.
This involves not merely inquiry
into the ends of our society and how the institutions
of the law might serve them, but also how well in
fact existing legal institutions do serve them. In
meeting this scholarly responsibility theLaw School

will seek the knowledge of, and encourage collaboration with other disciplines in the University,
particularly the social sciences.
The School recognizes that important aspects of
the lawyer's art and craft cannot be adequately
inculcated by the traditional case method of
instruction alone.Problem courses have been introduced in smaller classes for the purpose of training
the student not only to integrate the material of
different subjects in common situations which confront lawyers but also to exercise care in the
preparation of legal documents. Clinicprograms
which involve students in various facets of the legal
work done in the community have been tentatively
started and will be further tested. Seminars are
required not only in order to provide further practice in written legal analysis, but also to confront
every student with a problem which necessitates
consideration of the larger social forces impinging
on the law. The School is committed to continuing
exploration of these and other techniques. In addition it will develop centers of research activity in
selected areas of the law and encourage interdisciplinary studies. It must become, even in its
training for careers in the law, a graduate school
in the fullest sense of the term.

�an
attorney
is...
A STUDENT OF LAW, Waldon S.
Hayes, Jr., says a good attorney
must be a man of decision, devotion and drive. These three characteristics will be discussed inthe
following pages by Terry who has
compiledan outstanding record in
the last three years in the Law
School.
Returning to Buffalo from
Hamilton College where he
majored in History and Spanish,
(his parents live at 226 Bedford
Avenue) he graduated second in
the recent graduating class. He
was associate editor of the Law
Review, which is published by top
students in the law classes on important recent decisions handed
downby the Appellate Courts. He
was also a member of The
Indigent Prisoner Organization
and The Lincoln Law Club.

Although a scholar usually
doesn't have many spare hours,
Terry seems to find time to devote
to outside activities. About ten
years ago, he became interested
in magic tricks and has quite a
collection. He performs at various
social and charity functions,
besides entertaining his ten-year
old sister Wendy.
His other hobby is cooking, and
one of bis favorite weekend pleasures is inviting a group of friends
over for an exotic dish like sukiyaki. Although he jokes with his
fiancee, a recent music graduate
of Vassar College, Ann E. Hayes,
(yes that's really the same last
name and they're not related)
about teaching her to cook, there
is much truth to it because he has
become pretty skilled in the
culinary art.
Sunday mornings Terry spends
teaching senior high students at
the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church where he is a deacon.
He assures his readers here,
though, that this experience does
not mean that his following comments should be read as a sermon
but rather asreflections about the

profession he has chosen.

the perfection of reason; if this is
so, a man's ability to develop his
reasoning power determines the
kind of lawyer he will be. A practicing attorney must learn to rely
on his own judgment. Therefore,
one of the most important things
students have to learn is how to
develop reason.
I honestly believe when I set
my sights on law school I had
little idea of the law as the law
and know that I had no conception of the difference between the
plaintiff and defendant or the
meaning of a tort or a chattel
mortgage. However, my blissful
ignorance was soon overcome by

continuous and strenuous hours
of study. The law becomes a challenging mental exercise, totally
different from undergraduate
memorizationand multiple choice.

You might say that the major difference is that the student is
forced to think. Even though the
legal philosophy and theories are
learned by rote, the practical
application has to be logically
arrived at in order to be applied
to a set of facts in a case.
The graduating law student,
having tasted manyaspects of the
law for three years, has to call
upon his best reasoning power to
decide the path which best suits
his personality, skills and desires.
This choice, which is the most
important in his youthful legal
career, is left entirely in his hands.
Whether he selects the government, a large firm, his own firm or
business, the challenges are inevitable, but happiness, regrettably,
is not always secured. In addition,
with the ever-increasing volume
of the law, it seems that specialization in a particular area might
be necessary. These are problems
with which I am now faced, and
must soon decide.

My greatest ambition upon
entering the legal profession is to
make some significant contribution to the lawand in doing so, to
serve the lawand the community.
The law offers great opportunities
for an individual to leave his
permanent indentation, and the
large question mark in my future
is how significant my markwill be.

devotion,
WHEN HE FIRST begins his legal
education, a student of the law
constantly mutters to himself
about the vast number of intricacies, rules and exceptions to the
rules; however, after a few years
of study, it eventually begins to

�dawn upon him that they are the
result of centuries of development
of an emerging system of justice
a body of rules which have
consistently responded to the
demands and necessities of our
society. For sucha lasting and yet
ever changing phenomenon, there
can be nothing but admiration,
and from admiration stems devotion.
This devotion to the law is
essential in light of the attorney's
responsibilities to his individual
client and the public, both of
whom he represents in every legal
transaction. An attorney not devoted to the law tends to have as

—

his primary goal financial remuneration, and it is this man who
casts a shadow upon the legal
profession. This type of an individual, contrary to popular belief,
is rare, but is the one who receives
the most publicity and, consequently, among the uninformed is
believed to be the rule rather than
the exception. It is an attorney's
moral and ethical duty to come
forward with every possible legal
advantage so that he may best
serve the interests of his client. It
is most unfortunate that this very
necessary type of service is considered by some to bea manipulation
of the law and the attorney con-

sidered to be a conniving double
talker. The inability of the general
public to draw the subtle but
necessary distinction between
providing the type of service that
a client has the right to expect
and manipulating the law for an
individual's pecuniary benefit
results in the poor image of the
attorney held by many.
Fortunately, the vast majority
of attorneys today are devoted to
the study and practice of law and
do serve their clients to the best
of their ability. If this were not so,
we would not have the organized
society that we have today and
anarchy would reign instead of
justice.

and
drive
THE LEGAL PHILOSOPHY of an
individual is ingrained into him
after many yearsof conscientious
study and labor and has as its
foundation bricks of sweat, tears
and joy. A man entering law has
a few preconceived ideas about
the lawwhich are either dispelled
or clarified. He has no idea of the
weight of case law, and the elementary fact that the courts, as
well as the legislature, are instrumental in developing a systematic
body of law is yet to be learned.
He is likely to thinkthat a broken
leg as a result of a car accident is
negligence; anyone accused of a
crime needs only a mouthpiece to
"get off"; and civil procedure, if
he has ever heard of it, ought to
be abolished.

The law school is required to
take this disheveled mind and
instill a legal philosophy. After
the first few months and the endless task of briefing cases, the
eager freshman, however, thirsts
for "the practical," and the legal
philosophy and the theoretical
take a comfortable back seat in
his mind until....
It is really not until the senior
year that the student has an adequate knowledge and insight into
the law to begin the practical. In
a course entitled, Trial Practice,
the student, as the public knows
him, finally emerges as a practicing attorney. He learns courtroom
procedure, how to pick a jury,
examine witnesses, and address
the court and jury. For an entire
semester the student prepares a
case to beformally presented in a
mock trial before a Judge, using

the facilities of the County Courthouse, and having at his disposal
the Sheriff's Department.
The one single thing that impressed me the most about this
course was the immense amount
of work that went into preparing
for the trial. I found myself possessed by the facts in the case and
my responsibilities to the client.
The conclusion that I came to,
and leavewith you, is that it takes
far more than knowledge or devotion to the law to really be a good
attorney. Plainly, it takes real
guts and drive to keep probing for
the truth, and using every available legal means to provide the
client with real justice. Perhaps
that is what is meant by the challenge of the law.

have higher education and greater advantages than he has. But he

The success of
the Annual Participating Fund for Legal Education proves that local lawyers care enough about
their profession to contribute to its support. In
this article, Dale W. Hartford, Publicity Director

giving
AN EXCITING CONCEPT in giving was bom at the
University some years ago, and, if we aspire to the
finest, it is imperative that we not letit wither.
The concept, simply stated, suggests that the
professional person cares about his profession. It is
an idea which has stood the test of time here, and
borne fruit for public institutions (such as the University of Michigan) as well as private.
Physicians (both alumni and non-alumni) now
give close to $100,000 annually in support of the
basic sciences in ÜB's Medical School. Dentists and
pharmacists contribute generously to their respective schools. And lawyers care, too.
In each of these areas which have AnnualParticipating Funds, the great need in recent years has
been to keep the ship afloat. Now, if we may be very
nautical, the time has come to unfurl a new sail or
two.
Within days the University, by virtue of its geographical location if nothing else, will be pushed into
the front ranks of higher education in this country.
Existing as the only tax-supported university in the
richest state in the land can hardly be less than
exciting. It could be revolutionary. Much depends
on the State: its attitudes, aspirations and actions.
And much depends on the University itself, first as
an instrument of influence, secondly through its
exemplariness in the conduct of its own affairs.
There is every reason to believe that professional
education at the university will receive support
comparable to or, hopefully, in excess of thatwhich
it now enjoys. For the far-sighted in our midst the
opportunity presented is apparent. Rather than
relaxing our support efforts, the day has arrived
when every dollar given from private sources will be
directed to supplemental, clearly defined programs
which distinguish a superlative education from a
mediocre one.

The last of four children came into the University's Fund family in 1959, with the birth of the
Annual Participating Fund for Legal Education.
The organization was founded by alumni of the
School of Law, but it was early determined that all
members of the Bar in this area should have the
opportunity of advancing the profession through the
Fund.
A list of thosewho contributed generously of both
timeand money in these early, formative days reads
like a "Who's Who in Law in Western New York."
Distinguished judges, attorneys long out of Law
School, and others fresh from the Bar exam recognized the value of continuing interest inand support
of legal education.
Despite the contributions of so many, one person
must be recognized for the leadership and drive
which he exerted, and still exerts, for A.P.F.L.E.
Charles R. Diebold, President of Western Savings
Bank and a Law School alumnus, was unanimously
elected first chairman of the Fund on November 10,
1959. It was an auspicious choice for the A.P.F.L.E.
Under his direction, an opening dinner, featuring
former Dean Louis L. Jaffee as speaker, was
planned. When the dinner was held on May 2,1960,
a total of $10,000 in memberships was announced.
Another report dinner was held that October,
with E. Blythe Stason, former Dean of the University of Michigan School of Law, as speaker. Membership pledges had reached the $15,000 mark.
The Fund began life with the purpose of distributing the fruits of its energies in five ways:
Acquire and retain regular faculty and administration of the highest quality and of adequate size
to insure the steady improvement of the standard of
undergraduate legal education;
Maintain and improve the quality of the students
who will enter the legalprofession in the community;

fession and the communitythrough basic research

and through contributions

Enhance the direct contributions of the Law
School to the legal profession, particularly in the
community, through such programs as continuing
legal education;
Assist the Law School in contributing to the solution of appropriate community problems;
And improve and strengthen the relationship
between the Law School, the profession and the
public.
Before it had reached its first birthday, the
A.P.F.L.E. was responsible for the creation of a
$1,000 continuing scholarship (one of three given to
incoming freshmen at the time), establishment of a
new course in counselling small business, and the
strengthening of other existing programs. Thanks
largely to the Fund, additions to the full-time
teaching staff have been made each year since its
founding.
In its efforts to provide continuing education for
members of the local law community, the Fund circulated widely a questionnaire to determine the
needs to be met. The replies (over 300 were received
in thefirst week) have served as the basis for longrange planning in this area. A seminar for attorneys
on Income Tax Problems of General Practice, sponsored by the Fund, is typical of the activity being
pursued.
The Law Participating Fund, then, got off to a
strong start. But a month after its report dinner in
October, 1960, the report of the Governor's Commission on Higher Education (commonly called the
Heald Report) was madepublic. By the first of the
year, the possibility of a merger with State University was being openly discussed.
The prolonged negotiations with State University
and other officials which is leading to a September
wedding had a predictable effect on the University's
support constituencies. Actually, the effect was surprisingly mild in its adverse nature, illustrated in
but one instance by the lawyer's ability to raise

14

$5,000 in the month of December, 1961, to close out
the Fund's second year with donations of some
$11,000.

The order of the day at the University of Buffalo
is change change to build, change to grow. And
the A.P.F.L.E. has changed to meet a new set of
circumstances.
Dean Jacob Hyman early conducted a survey of
the nation's leading law schools at publicly supported institutions. His report to the Fund's Executive Committee lent great impetus to the existing
belief that the Fund's efforts could in the future be
more creative and more meaningful than in the past.
A determined effort to share this thinking with the
entire membership, and with those in the profession
still outside the membership, has been undertaken.
A special Committee on Reorganization, chaired
by Clarence R. Runals, has submitted a report
which is serving as the foundation for what is, in
many ways, a new organization. To broaden membership, fees have been reduced to $10 per year for
persons admitted to the Bar for seven years or less,
and to $25 per year for all others. Founders of the
organization and persons continuing to contribute
$100 each year will be known as Carlos C. Alden
Associates, in memory of the late and belovedDean.
Because tuition in the School will be loweredwith
state support, and other financial assistance programs for students are available, the Fund has
logically to some extent revised its goals. Even
greater emphasis will be given to continuing education for lawyers in the community, and it is hoped
to "enhance the contributions of theLaw School to
the legal profession and the community through
basic research on law and society
and through
contributions to the understanding and solution of

—

.

appropriate community problems."
Constant concern for upgrading the undergraduate program, through new and distinguished
faculty appointments with salaries supplemented by
A.P.F.L.E., through support of visiting professorships and in other ways, can be anticipated. New
clinical programs for students have already been
undertaken. The goal, clearly, is to give Buffalo one
of the finest law schools in the nation.

Abraham Lincoln once urged that "... reverence
for the laws... become the political religion of the
nation." The great need for lawyers, and the urgent
need for maintaining and upgrading standards
within the profession, dictate that the opportunity
facing the University of Buffalo School of Law, its
alumni and its many friends, be pursued with great
resourcefulness.

ON INTEGRITY OF THE BAR BEFORE THE NEW YORK AREA ALUMNI CLUB AT ITS ANNUAL MEETING IN THE FALL.

the
lawyer's
not
for
burning

IT IS NO secret that lawyers have
enjoyed wide-spread unpopularity among laymen not only contemporaneously butfor centuries.
Twenty-five hundred years ago,
the incomparable Greek playwright, Aristophanes, one of the
greatest writers of comedy who
ever lived, took occasion to pillory
the law and the legal profession
in an immortal comedy "The
Clouds". The Athenians of that
time were notedfor their litigous
propensities, for their evasion of
jury service and for theiraversion
to the legal process in general. In
"The Clouds", Aristophanes
created a character who is one of
the most amusing blockheads in
all literature a man named
Strepsiades who is sent to a school

—

to learn how to win lawsuits.And
the lawsuitswhich he is primarily

interested in winning are only
those in which he is in the wrong!
When, in an early scene, his instructor points to a dot on the
mapand explains "thisis Athens",
Strepsiades replies "It can't be. I
don't see any courts in session
there."
You can trace this anti-legal attitude of famous writers through
the Middle and the Elizabethan
Ages-from Chaucer and Boccaccio
through Burton, Goldsmith, Landorand Victorian Tennyson right
down to our day. In 17thand 18th
century England, the onslaughts
multiply with increasing vigor.
Samuel Butler, in Hudibras, describes a lawyer, of whom I am
sure you have known a modern
counterpart,
With books and money placed
for show,
Like nest eggs-to make clients
lay;

And for fus fake opinion pays.
W. S. Gilbert, of Gilbert and Sullivan fame in Utopia, creates a
barrister who sings,
And whether you are an honest
man

Or whether you're a thief,
Depends on whose solicitor
Has given me my brief.

Wordsworth, than whom no
gentler man or poet ever lived, in
"A Poet'sEpitaph" writes,
A lawyer art thou? draw not nigh!
Go carry to some fitter place
The keenness of that practiced
The hardness of that sallow face.
Here is our own Benjamin
Franklin, surely one of thewisest
of the founding fathers, writing in
1734
God works wonders now and then
Behold—a lawyer who's an honest
man.

And Carl Sandburg, practically
yesterday, chortles
Why k there a secret singing
when a lawyer cashes in?
Why does the hearse horse snicker
hauling a lawyer away.
But perhaps the epitome of all
this, is to be found in the New
Testament—in the Gospel of St.

—

15

�Luke (XI: 46). Luke, the physician, is quoting Christ. "Then
answered one of the lawyers, and
said unto Him, 'Master thus saying, Thou reproachest us also.'
And He said 'Woe unto you also,
ye lawyers! For ye lade men with
burdens grievous to be borne and
ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers' ".
And so, echoing down the corridors of time, across 2000 years,
comes the cry, apparently as
timely today as it was then,
"Woe unto you also—ye lawyers"
an admonition which has now
become classic and which still
rings fitfully and with a strange
timeliness in our ears.
If you are disposed to imagine
that these are merely isolated
examples of popular distrust of
lawyers, let me assure you that
such is not the case. There are
literally dozens of similar utterances in almost every age which
are just as pointed and which
have their origin in fully as important sources. Or if you are inclined
to console yourselves with the
comforting thought that these are
merely expressions of individual
pique, prominent as theauthors of
some of them may have been said
that a proverb is the epitome of
the thinking of a people or a nation. If so, listen to the Danes
'"Virtue in the middle', said the
devil, as he sat down between two

lawyers."
Or the French "No lawyers
will ever go to Heaven, so long as
there is room for more in Hell."
Or, of all people, the Russians
(of another time, of course)
"When God wanted to chastise
mankind he invented lawyers."
After such expressions as these
you can scarcely blame a number
of our profession if, in the agony
of his despair, he cries out with
Job "How long, O Lord, how
long." How long is this deepseated, age-old universal distrust

of lawyers by mankind to continue? Is the brand of Cain to be
eternal upon the lawyer's brow?
Is calumny inseparable from our
lot? Is the curse never to be
expiated? Are we really therogues
that literature so frequently
makes us out to be? It is that lawyers, by birth or calling, are intrinsically bad people? Is the
lawyer really for burning?
WELL, TO ANSWER, there is another more logical and more
plausible explanation of our
plight and our dilemma. And it

lies in the basic perversity of
human nature —in man's own
greed and cupidity. It just cannot
be that lawyers as such have
always been fundamentally and
uniformly bad men that they
have remained unalterable base
through the ages. No, there must
be another answer and it lies in
the fact that throughout the same
ages there is something in human
nature which has remained unchanged. If we recognize this, if
we look at it and ourselves with
understanding in the mirror of
history, it must giveus sustenance
and help us to meet and resolve
our present-day problems which
after all appear to be strikingly
unchanged from the century-old
problems of our profession.
Considerfor a moment the position of the lawyer in a civilized
society. It is the duty and the
responsibility of the lawyer to
deal with the rights of each man
against the rights of every other
man and often against the rights
of all other men. Consider further
that every problem, every controversy has two faces and it is the
unfortunate lot of the lawyer that
he must necessarily ally himself
with one side or theother. He can
never be a friend to both sides or
to all men. Well, you will say, if
he is the representative of the
winning side at least those whom
he represents successfully—for

—

�whom he attains their desired objective—should be grateful, even
ifall those on the other side come
to despise him. If that were true,
the lawyer would stand at least a
50-50 chance of popularity. But
we as lawyers all know that a
successful outcome of a given controversy is rarely entirely satisfactory even to those on the victorious side. There are always
questions of compromise. Nothing
is ever all black or all white. Both
are more apt to turnout to be a
"splotchy gray". So here again
the lawyer's chances of attaining
popularity are further reduced by
the inexorable workings of legal
mills of the gods. And when you
consider that the final factor in
resolution of all such controversies
is bound to involve payment to
the lawyer, successful or unsuccessful, wholly or partly, for his
labors, you can see that the
chances of a lawyer's popularity
with almost anyone is apt to be
stretched to a vanishing point.
Not long agoformer DeanLouis
Jaffe of the Buffalo Law School,
now at Harvard, came to Buffalo
to address the Annual Participation Fund for Legal Education.
He had something to say in this
regard:

"There is an almost instinctive
distrust by the public of the legal
professions. A certain amount of
this is inevitable.We must accept
it, reckon with it and strive to
overcome it. Consider that a majority of our citizens never engage
a lawyer unless it's either to win
a fight or get out of a scrape. In
this, as in so many other aspects, we differ from the medical
profession.
"When a man is ill, there is no
rival doctor on the other side plotting his swift demise. But in a
lawsuit, the party on the other
side is always aided and abetted
by the fiendish ingenuity of his
lawyer. And as for your own

client, he will be asking you to
strain the law to the utmost to
cover his own cupidity and to
mitigate his own misconduct.
One's lawyer can always be used
as a scapegoat upon whom one
can load one's uneasy conscience.
We, as lawyers, know this and we
can see it in proper perspective—
but the laymanfrequently cannot.
As a result of it all, we cannot pretend to be pious and we cannot
hope to be popular. And for that
reason we must always be right
with ourselves. This is our ultimate— our only salvation; we
must be convinced that we are
doing all we can, consistent with
our difficult position, to fulfill our
professional responsibility."
And so we come to the heart of
the matter. The weighing, the
delicate balancing in the scale of
our consciences of the perversity
of human nature on the one hand
and the necessity for our own
lightness with ourselves on the
other. This is a problem that confronts no other profession as
starkly as it does ours. But out of
the attainment of a true balance
between those conflicting elements there emerges our one
most sustaining and comforting
thought. Only with the reassurance which comes of the knowledge of our own lightness can we
meet the challenge of the self
interest of those on behalf of
whom we labor. Only inthe confidence of our own integrity can we
surmount the temptations of the
market place, gainthe respect and
confidence of our fellowmen and
still the voices of skepticism and
condemnation which have beset
our legal forebears throughout
history. The striking of this balance is the light in our darkness.
This is the leaven in our daily
bread; this the ultimate guidepost
of our journeythrough the jungle
of our relations with the public.
This is the banner and the creed

17

�which we must ever keep before
us
the dictates of our own consciences against the selfishness of
human nature. That is why lawyers can never pretend to be too

—

pious, or why they can never hope
to be too popular.
Once we accept this, we will be
better equipped to enter the arena
of our public relations. Fittingly
humbled against this background
we, who are working in the public
relations area of our professional
activities, believe that we can improve the lawyer's image in the
public eye. To do so, however, we
must recognize and be guided by
certain cardinal principles. In the
past,

there has been little intelli-

gent organized defense to the
attacks, warranted and unwarranted, which have plagued the
legal profession for centuries. And
certainly therehas been largely an
absence of any organized attempt
at the interpretation of the lawyer's role in our society. Today,
the legal profession through the
organized bar attempts to meet
these criticisms by pointing out
their fallacies and by demonstrating that these calumnies are in
very large measure undeserved.

Public relations is of course an
inexact science or should I say
art? But there are certain cardinal

—

principles to serve as guideposts
and which may be read even by
those who run. The implements
with which we gird ourselves are:
(1) the interpretation to the public of the important role the legal
profession and the courts play in
every community that lives under
law. It is axiomatic, and therefore
perhaps cannot be too often repeated, that no democracy can
long exist without lawyers. If, as
the Russians say, "God chastised
man by inventing lawyers", our
retort is "Lawyers are the scourge
and nemesis of tyrants."
One of the greatestcompliments
ever paid the legal profession is

18

Shakespeare's when in "Henry
VI" he puts into the mouths of
conspirators as the condition precedent to their plan of establishing a tyranny, i.e. "Let's kill all
the lawyers" and incidentally
no pronouncement inall literature
has been more widely misunderstood in its application. (2) We
are discovering and putting into
action ways by which the legal
profession can better serve and
benefit the public. The discovery
is easier than the evolving of remedial methods, but as a result
of our most recent discoveries we
are now putting our attempts at
solutions into effective action in
many important ways. And finally
(3) we endeavor to improve the
lawyer's own understanding of his
role in the entire picture. Not only
must he be right with himself but
it is essential that he recognize
and fulfill his manifold professional and personal responsibili-

—

ties to those about him.
No matter how desponding our
situation may appear from timeto
time, there is much in the way of
reassurance to be gained from
these same pagesof history which
we have been contemplating.
From time immemorial, the highest levels in the echelons of all
nations, the highest roles in national councils, have been occupied by members of the legal
profession. If you have not yet
been fortunate enough to witness
Robert Bolt's current drama "A
Man For All Seasons", there is
the portrait presented of a great
and God-fearing man Sir Thomas More who above everything else was a great lawyer and
who remained, against all else,
right with himself whose life
was dedicated inflexibly to the law
and to his own conscience, and
who paid with his life for that
dedication. It is no accident that
twenty-three of the thirty-five
Presidents of the United States

—

—

—

have been lawyers. And in fact
the higher the civilization, the
greater the needand the responsibility, the higher the caliber and
the more numerous the members
of our profession in positions of
great national and international
trust. Surely then, all is not lost
with us. Surely, then, the lawyer
is not for burning.
AND ACCORDING TO the legal
scholar Roscoe Pound, there is
still another reassuring thought.
Not long ago the head of a prominent university stated that "the
law is a disappearing profession".
With the progress of science, said
the educator, the need for lawand
lawyers is fast disappearing and
only medicine, engineering and
scientific research willremain. Our
reply to this is that, except for
law, there would be little chance
of these pursuits to develop and
maintain themselves. And the
same is true, of course, for the
pursuits of commerce and industry. In fact, it is the development
of the general security through
law which has made possible the
miraculous advances of science,
medicine, engineering, research
and industry in our time, for the
fact remains that all men desire
the earth; and there is only one
earth and there are myriads of
men. It is the law which orders
and adjusts the relations between
men, promoting and maintaining
that ideal relationship between
them which we know as justice
justice which we like to describe
as liberty for every man limited
only by like liberty for all.
But, say these anti-legal pundits, science will supplant law.
Science will enable us to supplant
and overcome the struggle for
existence which up to now has
been regulated by law. Science
will so multiply the goods of existence that everyone will have all

Law history
A history of the Buffalo Law School covering its
75 years of existence is being prepared as a part of
the School's Anniversary Conference this Fall.
The Committee in charge of the presentation
would appreciate clippings, photographs, class
histories, reports or other documentary material
relating to the Law School. Experiences and anecdotes concerning the School, its activities and those
who attended, would be welcome to create the folklore history of the Buffalo Law School, as would any
material of any kind, documentary or otherwise,

that he can reasonably want or
expect, without competition from
hisfellow man. Then therewill be
no more job for law. Super-abundant plenty will abolish the need
for law,and of course for lawyers.
But what about the imminent
question what about man's expectations? Will they stand still?
Will they vanish? Or will they increase along with the increase in
abundance? Does experience
teach us multiplication of the
worlds goods? Willreasonableness
increase the acceptance of the
concept of the spirit prevailing
over the material? Has man
always rendered unto God only
what is God's and unto Caesar
only what is Caesar's? Or will men
still want the earth and the fullness thereof
however full science may make it? And Dean
Pound concludes succinctly, "Until the millenium makes over human nature or until Communism
suppresses it or until anarchy
wrecks our abundance, there is
likely to be need of law and so
of lawyers."
Not long ago a good friend of
mine, in a discussion about the
public relations programs of the
legal profession asked "What is it
exactly that we are trying to accomplish in this work of public
relations for lawyers?" This has
been the subject of some rather
widespread comment so it deserves a carefully reasoned reply.
The answer is the interpretation of the bar, in all its aspects
and on all levels, to the general
public; and by such an interpretation the bringing about of a better understanding of the place and
function of the legal profession in
our society. Again, you may ask
when you say interpretation
and understanding what is it precisely that you want to interpret;
what is it that you want the public to understand? To define it
briefly, itwould be just this:

—

—

—

—

—

—

20

THE BASIC CONCEPT of our western civilization, the very heartand
core of our whole way of life, is
pregnant with the tenet that we
liveunder law. Were it not for law,
none of the things which we cherish and hold most dear would be
possible: respect for dignity of the
individual,regard for the integrity
of the human mind, reverence for
life and for the living, faith in
freedom and in the development
of the individual in a free society,
preservation of the guarantees of
life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness
all of these things
into which are distilled the spirit,
the very essence and deepest
meaning of our civilization and
culture all of these are bound
up inseparably with, are protected, secured and given living
force and significance by law and
the administration of justice.

—

—

—

In that administration, who is
there to gainsay the indispensability of the lawyer who will
challenge his place and function
in the great plan of our existence
as free men? It is not the lawyer
who in the final analysis is the
guardian and protector, the ultimate guarantor of the inviolability of thesefundamental concepts
which we hold most sacred, to
which we must continue to pay
our deepest devotion and loyalties, if we are to survive?
It is the understanding of these
things by the public which is our
objective. This is our messageand
our meaning
this is the interpretation of the place and function of the lawyer in our society.
And it is upon our ability to bring
homethis message and this meaning to the public that the success
or failure of our whole public
relations effort must ultimately

—

—

depend.

No—the lawyer's notfor burning—not yet at least—not for a
long, long time.

�GRID QUIZ...
The Bulls ended Spring drills with a decisive 28-0 win over a heavy alumni team, the core of which was the
1958 Lambert Cup team bolstered by veterans who faced the major schedules of the past two seasons.
Buffalo's drills were devoted to strengthening the ground game and to balancing it with an alreadyproved air attack. The "New Look" in Buffalo football derives from the Wing-T formation with Dick
Offenhamer's own "long side - short side" variations.
As Offie enters his eighth campaign, he can field two complete uJ| Bjsed mainly of experienced
lettermen. The Bulls have a reputation for hard hitting and the '62 jj
Hited the best yet.
HOWEVER the BIG QUESTION remains: tCan th|£|plcopeV

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;

We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;

Universal design is an approach to the development of products and environments that can be used effectively by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It seeks to support usability for the greatest number of people, including a wide spectrum of age groups and abilities. It is response to cultural diversity and current demographic shifts. Postwar Baby Boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging. Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people.&#13;
&#13;
We have amassed a collection of over 200 products through our gallery installations of the Unlimited by Design exhibition and a traveling exhibit called "live | work | eat | play." This is a digital archive of these installations that provide access worldwide for scholars and educators. It also ensures historical documentation of the products. This collection will continue to grow through the continuing activities of the IDEA Center.&#13;
