Welcome  to 

THE  CLASS  OF  1957 

"A  free  allowance  of  pocket  money  leads  a  student 
into  many  snares,  and  greatly  interferes  with  his 
progress  in  study.  The  money  for  minors  should 
generally  be  deposited  with  some  citizen  or  member 
of  the  Faculty,  who  will  act  as  guardian  and  render 
semi-annual  accounts;  charging  five  per  cent  com- 
mission on  the  amount  expended." 

We  hasten  to  point  out  that  the  above  quote  from  the 
University  catalogue  of  18  52  is  no  longer  carried  in  the  bulle- 
tins issued  to  entering  Freshmen. 

In  this  open  season  on  advice  to  Freshmen  there  are  sev- 
eral lessons  we'd  like  to  draw  from  this  quotation.  In  the 
first  place,  too  much  spending  money  is  still  a  snare  —  and 
incidentally,  not  only  to  Freshmen.  While  professors  and  citi- 
zens no  longer  serve  as  guardians  of  the  student's  exchequer, 
we  would  like  to  point  out  that  on  the  Bucknell  campus  the 
student-teacher  relationship  can  be  just  as  close  as  in  the  days 
of  18  52  —  if  the  student  wills  it.  An  alert  faculty  of  almost 
150  men  and  women  is  ready  to  guide  you;  some  are  great 
teachers,  some  are  specialists  in  research,  some  are  outstandmg 
administrators,  all  are  ready  to  help  make  the  adjustment 
from  high  school  to  college. 

But  how  can  I  meet  the  problem  of  longer  assignments, 
harder  courses,  more  supplementary  reading,  etc.,  that  one 
meets  in  college?  In  exactly  the  same  way  that  you  have 
learned  to  do  the  tasks  which  have  become  more  difficult  in 
every  succeeding  year  of  your  life.  Just  as  successful  work 
in  the  eighth  grade  prepared  you  for  successful  work  in  ninth 
grade  so  successful  work  in  high  school  has  prepared  you  for 
college.  You  would  not  be  coming  to  college  if  you  thought 
that  college  work  would  be  as  easy  and  on  the  same  level  as 
high  school  work.  College  work  is  not  enough  harder  than 
the  work  you  have  already  done  to  worry  you  —  provided 
you  start  at  the  beginning  of  the  semester  to  do  your  best. 
Maybe  you  don't  realize  it,  but  you  are  about  to  enjoy 
four  of  the  best  years  of  your  life.  We  welcome  you  to  a 
college  career  marked  with  thrills,  excitement,  an  occasional 
let-down,  but  above  all,  a  chance  to  really  prepare  yourself 
for  your  life's  work.

THE  COVER  PICTURE 

These  five  glimpses  into  the  life  of 
frosh  men  and  women  show  the  age- 
old  process  of  becoming  "oriented." 
If  some  of  us  old-timers  cannot  see 
ourselves  in  the  pictures,  remember  the 
pattern  changes — but  the  "basic  con- 
cepts" remain  the  same.

The  Internship  Program  of  the  National  Institute 

of  Public  Affairs 

By  Dr.  C.  Heeschel  Jones 
Associate  Professor  of  Political  Science,  BuckncU  University 


Editor's  Note — Dr.  Jones.  Associate  Profes- 
sor of  Political  Science,  prepared  for  his 
career  at  Ohio  \\'eslej'an  University,  A.B. 
'35 :  American  University ;  University  of 
Wisconsin,  Ph.D.  '42.  Before  joining  the 
Bucknell  faculty  in  1950  he  served  as  an 
administrative  analyst  in  the  U.  S.  Depart- 
ment of  Agriculture  and  as  lecturer  at 
American  Universitj-.  This  experience  pre- 
pared him  for  the  writing  of  "The  Intern- 
ship Program  of  the  National  Institute  of 
Public  Affairs"  published  in  full  in  "Buck- 
nell University-  Studies"  \^ol.  IV,  No.  1 
(1953)  of  which  the  following  article  is  a 
digest. 

In  college  Dr.  Jones  became  a  member  of 
Sigma  Phi  Epsilon  fraternity  and  the  honor- 
ary societies  of  Omicron  Delta  Kappa  and 
Delta  Sigma  Rho.  The  professional  socie- 
ties in  which  he  is  active  include  the  Ameri- 
can Society  for  Public  Administration, 
American  Political  Science  Association,  So- 
ciety for  Personnel  Administration  and 
American  Academy  of  Political  and  Social 
Sciences.  He  spent  thirty  months  in  navy 
serv-ice  during  World  War  II. 


THE  National  Institute  of  Public 
-Affairs  was  established  in  Wash- 
ington D.  C,  in  1934,  for  the  purpose 
of  instituting  a  program  which,  it  was 
hoped,  would  make  effective  use  of  the 
facilities  of  Washington  to  instill  in 
the  minds  of  talented  young  persons 
a  lively  interest  in  the  public  service. 
In  its  statement  of  objectives  the 
Institute  affirmed  that  its  purpose  was 
threefold : 

"Through  the  Internship  program 
the  Institute  is  endeavoring  to  in- 
crease the  attention  and  devotion  to 
public  affairs  of  the  youth  of 
America,  to  help  in  the  development 
of  higher  standarris  and  career  op- 
portunities in  governmental  admin- 
istration and  to  add  to  the  academic 
preparation  for  public  service  the 
experience  of  working  with  govern- 
ment officials  holding  positions  of 
responsibility." 

To  l>e  accepted  for  the  training  ];ro- 
gram  of  the  Institute,  each  intern  must 
have  completed  the  work  for  the  bac- 
calaureate degree  in  a  college  or  uni- 
versity. This  was  a  fundamental  re- 
'luirement.  .Accordingly,  most  of  them 
came    directly    from    liberal    arts   col- 

S  K  f  T  K  M  B  K  R      I  «  .'.  » 


leges  without  having  had  work  experi- 
ence. 

During  the  twelve  programs  of  the 
Institute,  beginning  with  that  of  1936- 
37  and  ending  with  that  of  1947-48, 
four  hundred  sixty-five  interns  were 
enrolled.  The  interns  who  participat- 
ed in  the  Institute's  training  programs 
were  selected  from  one  hundred  forty- 
six  colleges  and  universities.  From 
twelve  of  these  institutions  one  hun- 
dred forty-one  interns,  or  somewhat 
fewer  than  one-third  of  the  total,  were 
chosen.  In  this  area  of  concentration 
no  one  institution  consistently  placed 
interns  with  the  Institute  throughout 
the  twelve  programs.  From  nineteen 
colleges  and  universities  students  were 
selected  for  six  or  more  of  the  pro- 
grams, as  follows:  Minnesota,  11 
programs ;  Smith,  Stanford,  Kansas, 
9  each ;  Harvard,  Occidental,  Wes- 
leyan,  8  each;  Dartmouth,  Princeton, 
Colorado,  Washington,  7  each  ;  Barn- 
ard, P>ennington,  Bucknell,  Miami, 
Radcliffe,  Illinois,  Wisconsin,  Welles- 
ley,  6  each. 

In  its  efforts  to  select  for  its  intern- 
ship program  persons  of  outstanding 
intellectual  ability,  the  Institute  was 
preeminently  successful.  More  than 
thirty-five  per  cent  of  those  chosen 
were  members  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa. 
Most  of  the  others  were  in  the  upper 
ten  per  cent  of  their  graduating  class- 
es. The  candidates  selected  for  the 
first  six  programs,  those  from  1936 
to  1942,  had  perhaps  slightly  higlier 
academic  standing  than  tho,se  who 
participated  in  the  later  groups.  How- 
ever, even  during  the  war  period  when 
so  many  of  the  college  graduates  were 
being  drawn  off  into  military  service, 
few  of  those  api)ointed  were  not  in 
the  uijjjer  one-third  of  their  gradn.ii 
ing  classes. 

Essential  characteristics  of  the  In- 
stitute's training  program  were  the 
planned  orientation,  the  work  assign- 
ments, the  group  meetings,  and  the 
imiversity  courses.  A  jjroiriinent 
characteristic  of  the  ijrogram  of  llic 
Institute    was    a    weekly    ronnd-lalilc

conference  known  as  the  "Monday 
Evening  Meeting."  At  the  Monday 
evening  meetings  most  of  the  interns 
were  impressed  with  the  opportunity 
to  discuss  current  problems  with  out- 
standing personalities  or  with  ad- 
ministrative officials.  Generally,  the 
interns'  reactions  indicated  that  they 
were  not  all  agreed  as  to  the  value  of 
these  meetings.  But  as  a  group  they 
found  that  the  experience  did  much 
to  enhance  the  value  of  their  training. 
The  staff  of  the  Institute  considered 
as  one  of  the  essential  elements  of 
the  program  of  the  Institute  the  op- 
portunity for  interns  to  receive  cor- 
related academic  training.  The  uni- 
versity courses  most  often  taken  l)y 
interns  were  courses  in  public  adminis- 
tration, statistics,  and  economics. 
Courses  in  social  security,  housing, 
labor  and  foreign  relations  were  also 
popular  with  tiie  interns.  It  is  a  fact 
])articularly  worthy  of  attention  tJiat 
approximately  li fly-seven  per  cent  of 
I  he  men  ;ui(l  fifty-three  per  cent  of 
I  he  women  who  jiad  participated  in 
I  be  ])rograms  entered  and  were  si  ill 
emi)loyed,  as  late  as  1950,  in  some 
type  of  public  service.  Many  of  the 
others  were  pursuing  full-time  gradu- 
ate .study,  and  of  these  it  appeared

Alumni  Weekend  Tops  Records 


WORKING  on  the  premise  that  "there 
will  be  more  and  they'll  be  merrier  at 
the  1953  reunions,"  the  campus  committee 
headed  by  Raymond  K.  Irwin  '47,  director  of 
placement,  and  assisted  by  13  live-wire  re- 
union class  chairmen  and  their  helpers,  pre- 
pared something  in  the  nature  of  a  five-ring 
circus.  Plagued  by  the  peremiial  question, 
"how  many  shall  we  prepare  for?"  the  plan- 
ners got  small  comfort  from  the  lament  of 
that  super-planner  from  Harvard,  Stephen 
H.  Stackpole,  when  he  said  : 

"Alumni  return  in  years  quinquennial. 
But  only  God  can  tell  how  many'U." 

But  there  was  really  no  need  to  worry  and 
fret  for  the  1953  reunions  proved  again  that 
the  guys  and  gals  will  come  back  if  plans  are 
carefully  made  and  notices  are  mailed  in 
good  time.  The  final  tally  showed  that 
alumni  registrations  topped  last  year's  rec- 
ord-breaking figure  by  a  whacking  23%. 

But  mere  numbers  cannot  measure  the  suc- 
cess of  Alumni  Weekend ;  the  improved 
spirit  and  hilarity,  many  worthwhile  forward 
steps  in  alumni  organization  undertaken  at 
the  reunions  and  business  meetings  of  the 
General  Alumni  Association,  tell  the  story 
of  a  new  high  in  Bucknell  preferred  stock. 
True,  some  of  the  finest  features  of  the 
weekend  stemmed  from  a  really  sad  event — 
the  leave-taking  of  the  Hildreth  family  from 
the  Bucknell  Campus.  Surely  the  gracious- 
ness  and  friendliness  of  the  Hildreths  during 
the  past  four  years  has  set  an  example  of 
university  living  for  students,  faculty,  alumni 
and  administration  alike. 

The  vanguard  of  Alumni  Association  offi- 
cers and  reunion  chairmen  arrived  Friday, 
June  5.  At  a  bufJet  supper  alumni  workers 
had  an  opportunity  to  hear  a  firsthand  report 
from  President  Kenneth  Slifer  '26  on  alumni 
activities,  from  Alumni  Fund  Committee 
Chairman,  John  Worth  'i7  on  the  progress 
on  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Annual  Giving  Pro- 
gram, from  John  H.  Shott  '22,  Alumni  Sec- 
retary, on  club  and  magazine  program.  Dur- 
ing the  evening  the  Board  of  Directors  of 
the  General  Alumni  Association  met  at 
Alumni  Headquarters  to  receive  reports  on 
the  year's  activities  and  discuss  plans  for 
next  year's  programs. 

One  of  the  highlights  of  the  Amiual  As- 
sembly, the  yearly  business  meeting  of  the 
General  Alumni  Association,  was  the  rec- 
ord breaking  attendance  of  seventy  dele- 
gates representing  twenty-two  clubs.  When 
it  is  remembered  that  our  sixty-five  clubs 
have  the  privilege  of  sending  241  delegates 
it  will  be  seen  that  we  are  far  from  our  goal 
in  representative  government.  However,  the 
group  was  much  encouraged  by  receiving 
from  the  floor  one  nomination  for  member- 
ship on  the  Board  of  Directors.  Happy  will 
be  the  day  when  clubs  will  be  prepared  to 
nominate  the  full  slate  of  alumni  directors. 

The  voting  resulted  in  the  election  of  five 
new  members  of  the  Board  of  Directors  to 
serve  for  three  years.  They  are  Florence 
Brown  Focht  '26,  Lewisburg;  P.  Herbert 
Watson  'i7,  Norristown;  Bruce  J.  Miller  '27, 
New  York ;  Allen  A.  Rarig  '29,  Lewistown ; 
Donald  L.  Sholl  '42,  Haddonfield,  N.  J.  The 
directors  who  completed  terms  of  service 
were,  Lester  E.  Lighton  '20,  Glenside ;  I.  H. 
Marantz  '48,  Huntington,  N.  Y. ;  Roy  E. 
Nicodemus  '25,  Danville ;  Rita  Holbrook 
Sear  'i7,  Rochester;  Arthur  R.  Yon  '17,  At- 
lantic City. 

Following  the  Annual  Assembly  the  new 
Board  of  Directors  met  briefly  and  elected 
officers  to  serve  for  one  year  as  follows : 
President,  Emily  Devine  Kelly  '21,  New 
York ;  First  Vice  President,  Paul  E.  Fink 
'29,  Montoursville ;  Second  Vice  President, 
William  S.  Liming  'ii.  East  Williston,  N.  Y.

Mrs.    .losepli   B.    Kelly    (Emily   Devine   '21),    new 
president  of  the  General  Alumni  Association. 


By  now  reunioners  had  covered  a  full  sched- 
ule of  Bison  Club  Breakfast,  Phi  Beta  Kappa 
Breakfast  and  Annual  Assembly  and  one 
would  expect  a  slight  letdown  but  this  was 
only  the  beginning  for  now  class  reunion  ses- 
sions ( for  those  classes  whose  numerals  ended 
in  "3"  and  "8")  began  business  sessions  of 
their  own.  The  expression  business  session 
is  used  advisedly  for  there  were  many  inter- 
ruptions as  late  arrivals  greeted  the  early 
birds  and  filled  in  with  gossip  of  the  missing 
years.  Each  group  was  photographed  and 
then  in  full  regalia  paraded  back  of  the  band 
to  the  luncheon  in  the  Davis  Gymnasium. 

Tlie  luncheon  itself — fried  chicken  and  all 
the  fixings — deserved  a  billing  as  a  dinner 
and  was  a  credit  to  Mrs.  Esther  B.  Long 
'47,  director  of  food  service,  and  her  staff 
and  student  assistants.  The  speaking  pro- 
gram following  the  luncheon  was  short  but 
filled  with  thrill  after  thrill  as  members  of 
the  University  staff  and  alumni  paid  tribute 
to  the  contributions  of  the  Hildreth  family 
during  their  four-year  stay  on  the  campus. 
Opened  by  the  induction  of  the  Class  of  1953 
into  the  Alumni  Association  by  Buck  Shott, 
alumni  secretary,  Abram  Powelson,  presi- 
dent of  the  class,  then  presented  the  class 
gift,  (a  sum  of  money  for  the  Little  Theater 
Fund)  to  the  University.  Special  tribute 
was  paid  Dr.  Hildreth  by  chairman  of  the 
board  of  trustees.  Dr.  Joseph  W.  Henderson 
'08,  who  told  of  first  meeting  the  former  gov- 
ernor of  Maine  and  what  his  four  years  as 
president  has  meant  to  the  University.  Fol- 
lowed then  a  series  of  gifts :  a  brief  case 
from  the  student  body  presented  by  senior 
class  president,  Abram  Powelson ;  a  silver 
tray  presented  by  Kenneth  W.  Slifer,  retiring 
president  of  the  General  Alumni  Association, 
from  the  alumni;  and  on  the  behalf  of  the 
faculty  a  silver  bowl  presented  by  Dr.  P. 
Burwell  Rogers,  assistant  professor  of  En- 
glish. In  his  presentation  Dr.  Rogers  paid 
the  Hildreths  the  following  tribute : 

"Four  summers  ago  there  came  to  the 
campus  of  Bucknell  University  a  down 
Mainer  who  had  made  a  notable  record  for 
himself  in  his  home  state  by  serving  two 
terms  as  its  governor.  During  the  past  four 
years  this  down  Mainer,  with  equal  distinc- 
tion, has  served  Bucknell  as  its  president. 
As  results  of  his  efforts  the  university  now 
benefits  from  such  tangibles  as  the  Ellen 
Clarke  Bertrand  Library,  the  department  of 
military  science  and  tactics,  grants  in  aid 
providing  for  research  and  study  in  several 
fields,  and  increases  in  faculty  salaries.  But 
of   more   intrinsic   value   are   the  intangibles 


that  liave  derived  from  his  presence  on  this 
campus.  His  ceaseless  elTorts  have  all  been 
prompted  by  a  single  purpose — The  good  of 
Bucknell ;  and  his  efforts  in  behalf  of  the 
University  have  been  an  inspiration.  His 
determination  and  his  decisiveness  have  been 
healthful  influences  throughout  the  Univer- 
sity, and  his  objective  open-mindedness  and 
far-sightedness  have  been  no  less  beneficial. 
At  the  same  time  his  affability,  approacha- 
bleness,  and  unaffected  simplicity  of  manner 
have  been  cherished  by  all. 

"We  of  the  faculty  have  been  keenly 
aware  of  the  presence  of  President  Hildreth 
on  the  Bucknell  campus,  and  we  have  been 
no  less  aware  of  the  presence  of  his  gracious 
wife  and  of  his  charming  family.  Mrs. 
Hildreth's  grace  and  charm  will  always  be 
remembered  by  Bucknellians  of  this  gener- 
ation." 

But  the  greatest  gift  of  all  came  from 
the  president  himself  when  he  quietly  an- 
nounced "Mrs.  Hildreth  and  I  would  like  to 
feel  that  we  have  served  without  compensa- 
tion at  Bucknell."  And  explained  that  he 
was  returning  to  Bucknell  the  entire  salary 
paid  him  since  he  became  president  in  1949 
as  an  expression  of  the  Hildreth  family's 
devotion  to  the  University.  The  audience 
was  not  prepared  for  an  announcement  of 
such  magnitude  and  it  was  probably  some 
hours  before  many  realized  the  greatness 
of  the  gift  the  Hildreths  made  to  the  Univer- 
sity they  have  come  to  love  so  well. 

At  the  luncheon  recognition  also  was  given 
Mrs.  Anna  Kieffer  Hay,  who  honored  the 
University  by  her  return  to  the  campus  to 
celebrate  her  70th  class  reunion.  The  only 
member  of  the  Class  of  1883  who  was  able  to 
attend  the  reunion,  she  presented  a  substantial 
gift  to  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  to  com- 
memorate the  event.  She  was  presented  with 
an  orchid  by  Kenneth  W.  Slifer  on  behalf  of 
the  Alumni   Association. 

Following  luncheon  a  wide  choice  of  en- 
tertainment was  offered  the  campus  visitors. 
Of  course,  reunion  classes  hurried  to  their 
social  headquarters  set  up  for  them  in  the 
women's  dormitory  houses  and  at  several  off 
campus  spots.  Here  they  indulged  in  more 
reminiscences,  enjoyed  light  refreshments  and 
believe  it  or  not,  spent  most  of  their  time 
planning  for  even  bigger  and  better  reunions 
five  years  hence. 

Non-reunioners  in  large  numbers  made 
their  way  to  the  Christy  Mathieson  Memorial 
Field  where  Sherm  Doebler's  Bucknell  Alum- 
ni baseball  team  featuring  former  orange 
and  blue  varsity  men  from  as  far  back  as 
1935  engaged  the  current  Bucknell  varsity  in 
a  close  battle  that  wound  up  with  the  Alum- 
ni nine  on  the  short  end  of  a  4-3  score. 


Favorite  Book  Exhibit 

THE  Ellen  Clarke  Bertrand  Library 
claimed  the  attention  of  many  visi- 
tors. Here  Mrs.  Blanche  Baughman,  se- 
nior assistant  librarian,  under  the  super- 
vision of  Librarian  Harold  W.  Hayden, 
had  prepared  a  series  of  exhibits  including 
a  display  of  student  photography,  student 
art  works,  photographs  of  Bucknell  presi- 
dents, collected  material  about  Bucknell's 
history  and  famous  graduates,  and  favorite 
books  of  Bucknellians.    The  favorite  book.

tertainment  features  were  being  enjoyed  a 
small  group  was  engaged  in  a  business 
session.  This  group  consisted  of  the 
presidents  and  reunion  chairmen  of  the 
classes  scheduled  to  hold  regular  five  year 
reunions  in  June  1954,  the  classes  whose 
class  numerals  end  in  "4"  and  "9". 


The  Jamboree 

THE  weatherman  had  promised  a  sun 
drenched  weekend  and  kept  his  word 
except  during  the  Jamboree — the  only  out- 
door event  scheduled.  But  the  heavy 
showers  did  not  dampen  the  spirit  of  the 
hundreds  of  alumni,  students,  and  parents 
who  gathered  in  the  gymnasium  to  see 
and  hear  a  new  kind  of  jamboree  program. 
Dancing,  of  course,  was  provided  by  the 
Dan  Hanna  orchestra  from  Philadelphia, 
but  the  booths  operated  by  student  or- 
ganizations and  the  entertainment  pro- 
vided by  the  student  group  headed  by  Ed 
Williams  as  master  of  ceremonies  certain- 
ly was  the  feature  of  the  evening.  Not 
to  be  outdone  in  gift-making  by  the  se- 
niors, the  undergraduate  classes  presented 
a  sum  of  money  to  President  Hildrcth  to 
be  used  by  a  Pakistan  charity  of  his  chos- 
insr  and  gave  an  orchid  corsage  to  Mrs. 
Mildreth. 

And  so  hundreds  of  campus  visitors 
closed  a  long,  busy  and  eventful  day  with 
many  of  them  staying  over  for  the  Com- 
mencement events  scheduled  for  Sunday 
and  Monday.  Judging  from  the  many  fa- 
vorable commcnt.s  received  since  Alumni 
Weekend  it  is  evident  that  another  large 
((roup  of  reunion  classes  are  now  con- 
vinced that  the  University,  through  care- 
ful planning  and  provision  of  dormitory 
rooms  and  baby  sitting  service,  is  deter- 
mined to  provide  for  the  kind  of  relaxing 
family  vacation  that  can  be  thoroughly 
enjoyed  by  the  whole  family.  In  Jum- 
1954  another  group  of  reunion  classes 
(those  who.se  class  numerals  end  in  "4" 
and  "'J")  will  have  an  opportunity  to  thor 
oughly  enjoy  the  ho.<ipilality  of  "the  Hill

Hildretlis  Refund  Four- Year  Salary 

At  the  June  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  the  resignation  of 
Horace  .A.  Hildreth  as  president  was  accepted  to  enable  him  to  serve 
as  United  States  Ambassador  to  Pakistan. 

The  generosity  and  thoughtfulness  of  the  Hildreths  was  well 
known  to  thousands  of  Bucknellians  who  have  come  to  know  and  love 
the  family  but  no  one  was  prepared  to  appreciate  the  full  impact  of 
the  altruistic  action  of  Dr.  Hildreth  when  he  arose  at  the  All-Alumni 
Luncheon  and  stated  simply  "Mrs.  Hildreth  and  I  would  like  to  feel 
that  we  have  served  without  compensation  at  Bucknell."  An  editorial 
in  the  SiDibury  Daily  Item  following  the  announcement  in  commenting 
on  the  able  and  forceful  Commencement  speaker  followed  with  this 
comment. 

"There  seems  to  be  little  doubt,  however  that  the  altruistic 
action  of  Dr.  Horace  A.  Hildreth  ...  in  returning  to  the  school 
all  of  the  salary  paid  him  during  the  past  four  years  had  a 
stronger  impact  upon  the  graduates,  and  all  friends  of  Bucknell, 
than  any  group  of  orators  who  might  have  been  called  to  the 
Commencement  platform. 

"In  the  first  instance  no  American  college  or  university  could 
afford  to  pay  a  man  of  Dr.  Hildreth's  caliber  his  full  worth.  A 
man  who  has  achieved  outstanding  success  in  a  material  sense,  it 
now  becomes  apparent  that  he  accepted  the  presidency  of  Bucknell 
as  a  labor  of  love.  Turning  back. to  the  school  all  of  the  compensa- 
tion he  has  received  sealed  a  season  of  unselfish  service  that  will 
always  be  classified  as  a  contribution  of  inestimable  worth  to  a 
great  school. 

"And  the  humility  and  sincerity  which  marked  this  gesture 
explained  the  credo  of  Horace  Hildreth  and  his  reasons  for  ac- 
cepting a  difficult  assignment  in  the  nation's  diplomatic  corps.  If 
learning  is  caught  rather  than  taught — and  we  believe  that  it  is — 
Buckne'll's  retiring  president  has  given  the  Class  of  1953  and  all 
past  and  future  Bucknellians  a  priceless  example  of  how  an  effec- 
tive, well-rounded  life  makes  the  best  come  true."

SPORTS 


FOOTBALL  PROSPECTS 

By  Harry  L.  Lawrence 
Head  Football  Coach 

A  good  defensive  line  and  an  untried 
offense  might  briefly  describe  the  Buck- 
nell  University  grid  picture  for  the  coming 
season. 

Gone  are  three  of  the  four  Bison  starting 
backs  of  the  1952  season — ^Touchdown 
Tvifins,  Brad  Myers  and  Burt  Talmage, 
and  Fullback  Ed  Adams,  plus  eight  other 
varsity  performers. 

But  we're  not  hauling  out  the  crying 
towel,  at  least  not  yet,  for  we  have  some 
sophomores  who  have  the  potential  but 
lack  the  experience.  And  once  the  latter 
is  gained,  these  boys  may  be  the  sparks 
to  send  the  Herd  on  a  stampede. 

Halfbacks  Bob  Sierer  and  Dick  Mc- 
Cartney, Fullback  Bob  Ford  and  Quar- 
terbacks Ron  Hendricks  and  Bill  Hollister 
are  the  new  backfield  blood.  Add  them 
to  such  seasoned  performers  as  Halfbacks 
Bobby  Dee,  Moe  Finkelstein,  George 
Klauder,  and  Owen  Murnane,  Fullbacks 
Jim  Kozlowski  and  Vince  Pugliese  and 
Quarterbacks  Ken  Adamec  and  Tom 
O'Brien  and  the  outlook  improves. 

With  the  change  to  non-platoons,  like 
everyone  else  we  are  confronted  with  de- 
veloping a  line  which  will  be  sturdy  de- 
fensively, yet  also  able  to  move  on  the 
offense.  Here  we  are  fortunate  to  have 
such  standouts  as  Guards  John  Chironna 
and  Bill  Gray,  Tackles  Ron  Lloyd  and 
Jim  Egloff,  Ends  Jack  Flurer  and  Bob 
Antkowiak  and  Center  Paul  Ganz,  plus 
these  other  able  performers:  Ken  Tashjy, 
Jack  Winebrenner,  Ed  Popek,  guards, 
Marion  Minker  and  Dick  Richter,  tackles. 
Dick  Klaber  and  Bob  Harbaugh,  ends  and 
Center  Roy  Gavert. 

Our  schedule  will  be  tough,  including 
Holy  Cross,  Colgate  and  Temple  among 
the  roughest.  Last  year,  we  began  the 
season  on  the  wings  of  a  13-game  winning 
streak.  This  year,  we  begin  from  scratch, 
not  looking  three  weeks  in  advance  to  a 
tough  foe,  but  taking  every  game  as  we 
come  to  it. 

We  won't  be  undefeated,  that's  for  sure, 
but  our  team  will  have  spirit,  drive  and  the 
desire  to  make  amends  for  our  three  de- 
feats suffered  in  1952.

NEW  BACKFIELD  COACH  —  James  "Smokey" 
Ostendarp,  of  Baltimore,  Md.,  who  has  been 
named  backfield  coach  for  the  coming:  year,  is 
well-known  to  recent  Bucknell  graduates  for  his 
football  feats  on  the  gridiron  in  19i8  and  1949, 
when  he  was  one  of  the  East's  leading  ground 
gainers.  Following  his  graduation,  he  played 
football  for  the  New  York  Giants  professional 
eleven - 


Bob  Keegan  '44,  continues  his  fine  work 
as  a  hurler  for  the  hustling  Chicago  White 
Sox.  As  we  go  to  press  he  has  just  evened 
his  won-lost  record  at  3-3,  after  losing  a 
pitchers'  duel  with  Ned  Garver  in  an  eleven- 
inning  contest  that  Detroit  finally  won  2-1. 


SOCCER 

Hank  Peters'  varsity  soccer  team,  which 
last  season  won  only  one  contest,  will  be 
out  to  better  itself  this  year  when  it  meets 
seven  colleges,  including  powerful  Penn 
State  and  mighty  Temple,  two  of  the  king 
pins  of  the  intercollegiate  soccer  world. 

Hank  won't  say  much  except  that  he 
expects  this  year's  team  to  show  marked 
improvement  over  the  1952  hooters  who 
were  plagued  by  injuries  and  inexperience. 

The  Schedule:  Oct.  3,  Penn  State; 
Oct.  10,  Temple  at  Philadelphia;  Oct.  16, 
Delaware;  Oct.  24,  Drexel;  Oct.  30, 
Gettysburg  at  Gettysburg;  Nov.  7,  West- 
ern Maryland  at  Westminster,  Md. ;  Nov. 
14,    Franklin    and    Marshall. 


Brad  Myers  With  Rams 

Brad  Myers  '53,  rookie  half-back  with  the 
Los  Angeles  Rams  of  the  National  Football 
League,  made  several  substantial  gains  in 
their  charity  tilt  with  the  Washington  Red- 
skins. The  Rams  won  20-7  and  have  been 
unbeaten  in  pre-season  play  to  press  time. 


TICKETS 

If  you  want  to  make  certain  of  choice  seats  for  the  opener.  Dad's  Day  and  Homecom- 
ing, it  is  advisable  to  get  your  ticket  order  in  early.

year  that  closed  on  June  30,  1953,  will  be  given  priority  in  filling  ticket  orders  for  Home- 
coming. 

A  special  section  on  the  fifty-yard  line  will  be  reserved  for  the  class  (of  fifty  members

class  of   1913

HOMECOMING  IS  EARLY  THIS  YEAR 


With  the  Homecoming  game  scheduled 
for  October  17.  all  planning  for  the  big 
event  must  be  advanced  somewhat  ahead 
of  the  usual  schedule.  Already  a  large 
committee  of  alumni,  students,  faculty  and 
town  residents  are  at  work  planning  the 
program  and  making  the  arrangements  to 
properly  welcome  and  entertain  visiting 
alumni,  relatives  and  friends. 

And  the  early  date  will  be  a  further 
guarantee  of  pleasant  weather  and  ideal 
dri\-ing  conditions.  The  campus  and.  in 
fact,  all  of  Central  Pennsylvania  will  dis- 
play all  the  charm  of  a  glorious  fall.  What 
better  time  and  place  to  meet  and  relax 
with  good  old  Joe  and  Mary?  Better  drop 
them  a  line  right  now  and  arrange  for  a 
campus  reunion  on   October   17. 

Features  Galore 

All  of  the  features  that  make  Homecom- 
ing one  of  Bucknell's  three  big  celebration 
days  (the  other  two  are  Alumni-Com- 
mencement Weekend  in  June  and  Buck- 
nell's Birthday  in  February)  will  be  in- 
cluded again  this  year.  The  full  program 
of  events  will  be  published  in  the  October 
BUCKXELL  ALUMNUS  but  that  will 
be  too  late  to  make  your  reservations. 
Send  your  ticket,  room  and  luncheon  res- 
ervations now  (on  a  tentative  basis  if  you 
must)  so  that  adequate  provision  can  be 
made  for  your  comfort  and  pleasure. 
Forms  for  all  these  reservations  are  pro- 
vided in  this  issue  of  the  ALUMNUS. 
Remember,  the  October  issue  will  be  too 
late  this  year. 

The  Old  Shoe  Battle 

That  traditional  Old  Shoe,  symbolic  of 
victory  over  Temple,  has  been  proudly 
displayed  in  Carnegie  Building  during  the 
past  two  years  and  no  one  on  the  campus 
has  any  thought  of  a  change  of  residence 
for  it.  After  all,  it  has  become  a  part  of 
the  display  unit  that  includes  the  Bronze 
Bison  presented  by  the  late  Dr.  S.  Dale 
Spotts  '18.  However,  there  are  plans  afoot 
on  the  practice  fields  at  Temple  University 
to  remove  it  from  our  midst.  The  Home- 
coming game  with  Temple  has  come  to 
have  a  special  meaning  and,  regardless  of 
previous  scores,  a  super  football  game  is 
assured.  Kick-off  time  is  2:00  o'clock. 
Vou  will  not  want  to  miss  this  Game  of 
the  Year. 

The  All-Alumni  Luncheon 

Of  course,  the  Homecoming  Game  is 
just  the  super-colossal  feature  of  a  star- 
studded  program.  The  all-alumni  lunch- 
eon at  the  Davis  Gym  at  twelve  noon 
Csharp;  is  the  place  to  eat  and  meet  your 
friends  and  classmates  and  catch  the  latest 
word  on  University  aflfairs.  But  how  can 
we  prepare  for  a  thousand  visitors  unless 
you  tell  us  you  arc  coming — better  send 
that  reservation  NOW.  The  luncheon 
will  be  over  in  plenty  of  time  for  you  to 
.•ice  the  pre-game  spectacle  prepared  for 
you  by  the  Buckncll  Band  and  majorettes. 

The  Roundup  is  a  Reunion 

After  the  ><amir  i-veryljoily  will  trek  back 
to  Davis  Gym  for  more  meeting  and  grcet- 
tnn  old  friends.  And  where  else  can  you 
Kivc  vent  to  your  opinion  on  two-platoon 
v»,  non-platoon  football?  After  the 
Roundup  and  dinner  on  the  campus  or  in 
town  you  will  be  ready  for  the  All-Univcr- 
ity  Danrc.  nchcdulcd  for  9:00  p.  m.  in 
-.  K  I'  T  K  .M  B  p.  R       I  «  5  a 


the  Gym.  Here  entertainment  and  more 
greetings  will  be  interspersed  with  the 
dancing  so  that  even  the  most  non-dancing 
alumnus  will  find  enjoyment  and  relaxa- 
tion. 

Other  Features,  Too 

Here  we  are  out  of  space  already  and  a 
dozen  other  highlights  we'd  like  to  tell 
you  about.  But  if  you've  been  here  before 
on  Homecoming  Weekend  you  know  all 
the  big  deals,  and  if  this  is  your  first  in  a 
long  time,  just  come  and  be  surprised  at 
the  hospitalitj-  awaiting  you  on  "The 
Hill."  In  fact,  come  Friday  if  you  pos- 
sibly can  so  you  will  be  in  time  for  the 
Bonfire  Parade  and  will  be  able  to  be  up 
bright  and  early  for  the  Bison  Club  Break- 
fast. Last  minute  previews  of  the  game 
prospects  will  be  on  tap  along  with  a 
hearty  breakfast.  The  Bisons  gather  for 
breakfast  at  the  Lewisburg  Club,  131 
^Market  Street  and  everyone  is  most  wel- 
come, including  the  ladies.  Alumni  For- 
ums will  occupy  the  morning  hours  after 
breakfast,  with  special  programs  devoted 
to  discussions  of  alumni  organizational  ac- 
tivities. Several  committees  of  the  General 
Alumni  Association  will  hold  important 
meetings  and  a  number  of  the  classes  holding 
five-year  reunions  in  June  1954  will  meet  in 
planning  sessions. 

Better  make  it  a  long  weekend  this  year 
for  the  program  is  filled  and  several 
"musts",  remain.  There's  the  University 
Golf  Course  ready  to  make  your  round  of 
golf  a  pleasant  memory  of  the  Home- 
coming Weekend.  And  a  tour  of  the  new 
Ellen  Clarke  Bertrand  Library  where  spe- 
cial exhibits  will  be  on  display  will  be  a 
rewarding  experience.  Then,  too,  all  of 
Lewisburg's  churches  are  having  Home- 
coming services  and  you  are  cordially  in- 
vited to  attend  the  church  of  your  choice. 

But  NOW  is  the  time  to  send  in  your 
reservations — at  least  on  a  tentative  basis 
— waiting  for  the  October  issue  of  THE 
BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS  will  be  too 
late.  Remember,  HOMECOMING  IS 
EARLY  THIS  YEAR.  See  you  all 
October  17. 


Dad  Is  King— October  3 

The  Fifteenth  Annual  Dad's  Day  will  be 
celebrated  on  the  Bucknell  Campus,  Satur- 
day, October  3,  1953.  Dad's  Day,  which  is 
now  a  tradition,  has  become  one  of  the  out- 
standing functions  of  the  school  year.  The 
program  this  year  will  include  a  Fathers' 
Association  Board  of  Directors  meeting  in 
the  Lewisburg  Club,  131  Market  Street,  at 
10:45  A.  M.,  followed  by  a  Fathers'  Lunch- 
eon to  be  held  at  the  Lewisburg  Qub  12:00 
noon  sharp.  Mr.  George  A.  Dietrich,  Rock- 
ville  Centre,  N.  Y.,  President  of  the  Fathers' 
Association,  will  conduct  a  short  meeting 
when  new  officers  for  the  Association  will  be 
elected  for  1953-54.  A  message  will  also  be 
brought  to  the  Dads  by  the  President  of 
Bucknell  University.  Immediately  follow- 
ing the  luncheon  meeting  the  Dads  will  at- 
tend the  football  game  in  Memorial  Stadium

entertainment  will  be  provided.  On  Sunday, 
October  4,  parents  are  cordially  invited  to 
attend  the  Lewisburg  church  of  their  choice. 

Although  Dad's  Day  is  dedicated  to  all  the 
fathers  of  Bucknell  students,  the  mothers 
are  cordially  invited.  Mr.  Howard  "Red" 
Macauley,  senior  student,  and  President  of 
Student-Faculty  Congress,  is  writing  a  let- 
ter of  invitation  to  all  Bucknell  parents  to 
visit  the  campus  October  3  and  4,  1953.  The 
college  will  be  thrown  open  to  the  parents, 
and  they  will  be  able  to  see  how  tlie  students 
live,  work  and  play  at  Bucknell  University. 
The  Fathers'  Association  and  the  students 
are  especially  anxious  to  have  the  parents  of 
this  year's  freshmen  class  visit  tlte  Bucknell 
campus  on  Dad's  Day. 

If  you  have  a  son  or  daughter  at  Buck- 
nell University  at  the  present  time,  why  not 
ask  them  to  make  room  reservations  for  you 
in  Lewisburg.  You  can  secure  your  meals 
at  the  University  Cafeteria. 

Bucknell  University  and  her  student  body 
are  looking  forward  to  welcoming  over  one 
thousand  parents  to  the  campus  on  October 
3  and  4,  1953. 


Even  though  your  plans  may  be  tentative,  please  mail  this  reservation  TODAY  and

A  FEATURED  part  of  the  five-ring 
circus  known  as  Alumni  and  Com- 
mencement Weekend  was  devoted  to  the 
graduating  seniors  and  their  parents  on 
June  6,  7,  and  8. 

Although  the  new  vitalized  Alumni 
Weekend  includes  activities  specially 
planned  for  the  graduating  seniors  as  well 
as  the  reuning  alumni,  there  is  no  doubt 
that  in  the  minds  of  seniors  the  climax  of 
the  weekend  comes  when  the  senior  grasps 
that  long  coveted  sheepskin  from  the  ex- 
tended hand  of  the  President  of  the  Uni- 
versity. As  a  prelude  to  the  actual  Com- 
mencement exercises,  seniors  and  their 
parents  as  well  as  many  alumni  visitors 
enjoyed  the  traditional  President's  recep- 
tion and  the  Baccalaureate  exercises  on 
Sunday,  June  7. 

"The  Infallible  Rule  of  Life" 

Rev.  David  J.  Davis  '32,  pastor  of  the  Ply- 
mouth Congregational  Church  of  Miami, 
Florida,  speaker  at  the  Baccalaureate  services, 
noted  that  men  have  always  been  seeking 
the  meaning  of  life.  The  Rev.  Davis,  who 
graduated  from  Bucknell  in  19.32  and  re- 
ceived his  bachelor  of  divinity  degree  in 
1936  from  the  Yale  Divinity  School, 
praised  the  Golden  Rule,  the  Eight  Fold 
Path  of  Buddha,  and  the  Ten  Command- 
ments as  guides  to  living.  He  then  cited 
the  five  words,  "Make  the  Best  Come 
True,"  as  a  rule  he  would  commend  to  the 
graduates  as  infallible. 

He  observed  that  "it  is  one  of  the  facts 
of  human  nature  that  you  get  just  about 
what  you  are  looking  for  in  this  life  in 
that  your  deep  unconscious  desires  come 
to  pass." 

Senator  Douglas  of  Illinois  is 
Commencement  Speaker 

Seniors  were  urged  to  develop  both  at- 
tributes of  character  and  culture  in  a  stir- 
ring address  delivered  by  Senator  Paul  H. 
Douglas  of  Illinois  who  gave  the  Com- 
mencement address  in  place  of  Secretary 
of  State  John  Foster  Dulles  who  had  to 
cancel  his  appearance  because  of  the  cli- 
max in  the  truce  negotiations  in  Korea. 

Senator  Douglas  pointed  out  that  "the 
pursuit  of  culture  to  the  exclusion  of  char- 
acter gives  us  men  who  are  at  best  fragile 
and  at  worst  vicious.  When  the  storms 
of  adversity  beat  upon  them,  as  happens 

8 


upon  occasion  to  most  lives,  they  tend  to 
go  down  in  futility  or  failure."  Citing  the 
lives  of  Henry  Adams,  the  Puritan;  Crom- 
well, Michaelangelo  and  Jefferson  as  illus- 
trations, the  Senator  pointed  out  that  the 
great  and  winsome  characters  in  history 
have  always  been  men  who  have  com- 
bined these  attributes. 

President  Horace  A.  Hildreth  conferred 
349  bachelor's,  33  master's  and  6  honorary 
degrees.  Dean  William  H.  Coleman  pre- 
sented the  class  for  their  degrees.  During 
the  presentation  of  the  degrees  Dr.  Hil- 
dreth stepped  back  to  permit  Dr.  Herbert 
Lincoln  Spencer,  former  president  of 
Bucknell  and  now  a  trustee,  to  present  his 
daughter,  Sally,  a  bachelor  of  arts  degree 
cum  laude. 

Honorary  degrees  were  conferred  on 
Herbert  L.  Spencer,  Executive  Director 
of  the  Samuel  H.  Kress  Foundation,  New 
York  and  a  former  president  of  Bucknell 
and  of  the  Pennsylvania  College  for  Wo- 


men; Dr.  Clarence  E.  Carter,  Chevy  Chase, 
Md.,  a  State  Department  editor  and  noted 
scholar  in  tlie  field  of  American  history ; 
Dr.  Walter  B.  McKinney,  Philadelphia, 
a  business  man  and  physician,  who  has 
practiced  medicine  since  1924  and  has 
served  as  president  of. various  steamship 
and  terminal  companies;  Bayard  L.  En- 
gland, Atlantic  City,  President  of  the 
Atlantic  City  Electric  Company  and  the 
Ed. son  Institute  and  vice  chairman  and 
treasurer  of  the  New  Jersey  Highway 
Authority. 

The  Commencement  speaker,  Senator 
Douglas,  was  awarded  the  degree  of  Doc- 
tor of  Civil  Law  and  the  Rev.  David  J. 
Davis,  the  Baccalaureate  speaker,  received 
a  degree  of  Doctor  of  Divinity. 

Distinguished  Guests 

Distinguished  guests  at  the  Commence- 
ment exercises  included  Mrs.  James  Hile, 
Lumber  City,  Penna.,  daughter  of  Hannah 
Bloom  Lemon  of  the  Class  of  1863,  who 
came  to  see  a  representative  of  another 
generation  of  her  family  receive  his  de- 
gree. He  was  John  Lemon  Bailey  of  the 
Class  of  1953  whose  parents  are  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Clyde  P.  Bailey  (Dorothy  Lemon) 
of  the  Class  of  1929.  Another  visitor 
whose  memory  goes  back  to  a  graduation 
program  of  seventy  years  ago  was  Mrs. 
Anna  Keiffer  Hay  of  the  Institute  Class  of 
1883  who  traveled  from  Washington,  D.  C. 
to  celebrate  her  70th  anniversary  of  gradu-

The  Internship  Program 

(Continued  from  Page  3) 

Our  records  indicate  that  the  following 
Bucknellians  participated  in  the  Internship 
Program  in  Washington :  Eric  G.  Stewart 
'36.  Dora  Elleni  Oliver  '37.  Robert  Renville 
"38.  Russell  O.  Hess  '40.  and  Mrs.  Betty 
Holifield  Feldmann  '46.  All  of  these  folks 
except  Mrs.  Dora  Elleni  Oliver,  for  whom 
we  have  no  current  address,  have  been  asked 
to  comment  upon  the  success  of  their  partici- 
pation in  the  Internship  Program.  \\'e  are 
pleased  to  present  the  interesting  reports  re- 
ceived from  two  of  them. 

From  Eric  G.  Stezi'art  '36: 

Thanks  for  the  opportunity  to  say  a  few 
good  words  about  the  N.  I.  P.  A.  program. 
While  that  institution  was  an  experiment  to 
test  the  idea  of  selecting  potential  civil  ser- 
vants and  bringing  them  from  die  college 
campus  to  Washington,  the  opportunity  still 
exists  and  if  a  few  words  from  me  will 
encourage  a  student  to  seek  a  career  in  gov- 
ernment I  am  sure  he  or  she  will  find  it 
worthwhile. 

In  the  spring  of  1936  I  was  beginning  to 
wonder  what  an  A.B.  major  in  American 
History  would  do  for  a  living  that  summer. 
I  had  visions  of  entering  the  foreign  service 
of  the  State  Department  ...  In  Septem- 
ber 1936  a  very  green  college  student  from 
Lewisburg  was  in  the  first  crop  of  28 
N.  I.  P.  A.  interns  trying  to  get  their  feet  on 
the  ground  in  Washington.  I  soon  found 
tliat  the  State  Department  was  not  for  nie. 
But  a  happy  second  choice  opened  up  in  the 
Bureau  of  Foreign  and  Domestic  Commerce. 
From  there  I  watched  the  Washington  scene 
for  nine  months.  Together  with  its  pro- 
gram of  meetings  with  key  figures,  progress 
reports,  supervisory  interviews,  counseling, 
etc.,  we  managed  to  pack  into  those  nine 
months  as  much  experience  as  might  have 
taken  years  to  acquire  otherwise.  In  this 
regard  the  N.  I.  P.  A.  gave  us  an  advantage. 
It  was  a  painless  way  of  rapidly  gaining 
practical  experience  with  which  to  get  a 
head  start  in  our  government  career.  On 
the  other  hand,  looking  back  more  than  16 
years  I  feel  now  that  while  we  were  greatly 
assisted  in  being  "placed"  in  a  government 
office,  we  were  actually  on  our  own  initia- 
tive ajid  got  out  of  the  program  just  about 
what  we  put  into  it.  Some  had  a  good  time 
and  went  back  to  their  father's  business  but 
the  majority  of  us  have  stayed  in  govern- 
ment service  of  one  kind  or  another.  And 
with  increasing  regularity  more  of  the  521 
intern  names  keep  appearing  in  positions  of 
responsibility.  Hardly  a  day  goes  by  here 
that  one  ex-tern  will  not  pass  on  to  another 
the  word  that  "W.  L.  is  now  Executive  Offi- 
cer of  Mutual  Security  for  India  and  we 
got  a  nice  letter  from  his  wife  the  other 
day  telling  about  their  trip  from  New 
Delhi  to  Ceylon"  or  "Did  you  sec  the  item 
on  the  first  page  of  the  Poxl  today  about 
J.  M.  being  made  Executive  Director  of  the 
Civil  Service  Commission." 

If  I  had  it  to  do  over  again  I  would  cer- 
tainly be  ju.st  as  eager  to  come  to  Washing- 
ton. The  unfortunate  publicity  that  the  i)ress 
gives  to  p<iliticians  like  McCarthy  and  the 
distorted  stories  they  tell  is  out  of  all  pro- 
(Kirtion  to  the  much  bigger  good  work  that 
the  more  than  a  million  civil  servants  are 
doing.  Wc  arc  gradually  getting  more  recog- 
nition for  the  career  public  employee  and 
the  fart  that  there  are  honorable  profession- 
al groups  within  the  government  .service.  For 
example  you  now  hear  a  lot  about  the  field 
of  arlministrative  management  with  its  sev- 
eral professional  societies.  I  am  sure  that 
the  .\.  I.  /'.  A.  has  made  a  valuable  contribu- 
ttrm  toward  this  recognition.  And  even 
though  the  Institute  is  now  closed  and  the 
f'ivil  .Service  Commission  lias  officially  tak- 
en over  the  job  of  sfHtnsoring  intern.ship.s,  the

The  Care  and  Feeding 
of  College  Students 


WO.MF.N'S  DINIXG   IIAi.l. 

Mrs.  Esther  B.  Long  spends  most  of 
her  waking  hours  preparing  to  feed  the 
active  men  students  and  the  calorie-con- 
scious coeds  at  the  University.  Mrs.  Long 
holds  three  University  degrees.  D.S.  '16, 
A.B.  '17,  M.A.  '49  and  is  still  pursuing 
courses  at  the  University,  but  serves  as 
the  full  time  Director  of  Food  Service. 
As  head  of  a  staff  of  120,  she  plans  and 
serves  over  2400  meals  a  day. 

"Men  students  pose  few  food  problems. 
Just  give  them  meat,  potatoes  and  plenty 
of  milk  and  the)'  seem  contented,"  she 
revealed.  "But  with  our  women  students, 
there's  always  the  problem  of  dieting. 
Especially  during  Lent,  desserts  go  wast- 
ing." 

Mrs.  Long  named  liver  as  the  food  most 
often  ignored  by  Bucknell  students,  in 
spite  of  its  high  health  value. 

They  Dodge  Breakfast 

Describing  another  idiosyncracj',  she 
said  that  the  University's  women  students 
are  "breakfast-dodgers." 

"Even  setting  the  breakfast  hour  later 
has  failed  to  change  that  habit,"  she  said. 

In  the  women's  dining  hall,  the  break- 
fast count  reaches  a  weekly  low  on  Sunday 
morning  when  the  early  risers  number 
between  30  and  50,  instead  of  the  usual 
475. 

Meals  are  served  cafeteria  style  in  the 
University  cafeteria,  which  has  a  capacity 
of  350.  The  Women's  Dining  Hall,  with 
a  seating  capacity  of  492,  serves  1500  meals 
daily. 

Caters  to  Parties 

Catering  to  teas,  parties,  and  special 
dinners  is  another  service  provided  by 
Mrs.  Long's  staff.  Not  a  day  goes  by 
without  some  party  or  tea  for  which  to 
prepare. 

A  former  Bucknell  student  herself,  Mrs. 
Long  has  served  in  the  food  department 
at  the  University  for  12  years,  first  as  an 
assistant  and  then  as  dietitian  for  the 
Women's  Dining  Hall.  Two  years  ago 
when  the  dining  facilities  were  consoli- 
dated, she  was  made  Director  of  I'ood 
Service, 

But  with  all  the  work  she  has,  Mrs. 
Long  is  still  a  perpetual  student. 

"I   still   take  at   least  one  study   course 
every  semester,"  she  added,  "but  I'm  not 
working    for    credits    at    the    moinenl.      I 
just  like  to  feel  (hat   I'm  studying  some 
thing  worlhwhiti-   <  i' li      '  :ir." 


Suppose  You  Were 
the  Editor? 

Will  you  take  ten  minutes  to  be  a  guest 
editor  of  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS? 
We  need  your  advice. 

To  keep  tlie  cost  of  printing  and  mailing 
of  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS  with- 
in the  budget  ($10,000)  three  newspaper  edi- 
tions were  added  in  1948  to  the  previous 
printing  schedule  of  four  magazine  editions. 
There  is  evidence  that  alumni  do  not  give  the 
newspaper  editions  the  attention  accorded  the 
regular  magazine  issues.  This  is  unfortu- 
nate for  the  same  editorial  content  is  sup- 
plied in  both. 

One  of  the  problems  facing  your  editor, 
obviously,  becomes  one  of  considering  ways 
of  eliminating  the  less  popular  newspaper 
edition.  Adding  three  magazine  editions  is 
out  of  the  question  on  account  of  budget 
restrictions.  However,  the  substitution  of 
otie  magazine  for  the  three  newspaper  edi- 
tions would  meet  budget  requirements.  The 
question  then  becomes,  shall  we  cut  down 
to  five  magazine  issues  a  year  or  continue 
the  present  four  magazine  and  three  news- 
paper editions.  While  you  are  voting  you 
can  help  us  in  our  space  problems  by  giving 
your  opinion  on  the  space  you  would  like  us 
to  devote  to  various  elements  in  THE 
BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS. 

To  make  your  job  easier  we  print  below 
a  tabulation  of  the  space  we  allotted  to  va- 
rious sections  in  1952-53.  After  you  look 
at  that,  please  jot  down  in  the  open  column 
the  number  of  pages  you  would  like  us  to 
assign  this  year.  (Don't  regard  the  past  as 
ideal,  for  we  know  that  the  balance  could 
have  been  improved).  If  you  care  to  make 
further  remarks  in  a  letter  we  will  certainly 
give  heed  to  your  comments. 

Sign  your  slip  only  if  you  care  to.  In 
any  event,  please  indicate  your  class  to  give 
us  a  good  idea  of  our  sampling.  Send  your 
coupon  to  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS, 
Bucknell  University,  Lewisburg,  Pennsylva- 
nia. And  accept  our  sincere  thanks  in  ad- 
vance. 


My  Vote  on  Number  of  Issues 

I   prefer  five  magazines  a  year  rather 
than  the  present  four  magazines  and  tliree 
newspapers.

CLASS  OF   1903 


Those  present  at  the  50th  Anniversary  had 
a  wonderful  time.  There  were  25  reservations 
from  a  roster  of  48. 

The  scheduled  meeting  at  10:30  a.  m.  in 
Vaughan  Literature  Building  was  called  to 
order  b3'  the  President  who  introduced  our 
faculty  host,  Mr.  William  McRae  of  the 
Music  Department.  The  meeting  was  rather 
hectic  and  conducted  in  an  unparlimentary 
manner,  what  with  new  arrivals  dropping  in, 
and  everybody  making  talk.  (I  am  sure, 
however,  that  Dr.  Lincoln  Hulley  would  have 
looked  on  us  with  kindly  consideration.) 

10 


Messages  were  read  from  John  Cook,  Dr. 
A.  F.  Donehower,  Dr.  Roger  H.  Williams, 
Harry  Bilger,  Ernest  Taylor  and  wife  Sadie 
Ayres,  Dr.  H.  K.  Williams,  Joseph  E.  Glas- 
pey  and  excerpts  from  questionnaires  of  Dr. 
Bessie  Burchett,  Royce  Carringer  and  others, 
who  were  present,  were  also  read. 

It  was  nearing  time  for, picture  taking,  so 
class  regalia,  consisting  of  gold  rosettes  made 
by  Ida  Luchsinger,  and  skull  caps  with  our 
class  numerals  were  donned  and  the  pictures 
was  taken  in  1903  form;  there  was  not  a  chair 
nor  bench  in  sigh.     Somehow  we  never  got

back  "in  meeting",  so  it  was  never  adjourned. 
If  you  cannot  tell  who  is  who  in  the  picture 
let  your  class  reporter  know  and  she  will 
send  you  a  diagram. 

Scheduled  to  march  at  12:00,  we  lined  up 
behind  the  Emeritus  Group  and  B.  LT.  band. 
In  a  slow  informal  manner,  we  reached  Davis 
Gj'm  where  all  Alumni  were  having  lunch 
together.  Our  1903  table  was  graced  by 
several  beautiful  bouquets  of  red  roses — our 
class  flower — also,  place  cards  printed  in  gold 
and  golden  favors  were  at  each  place. 

After  a  delicious  luncheon  our  class  wa>, 
given  special  recognition  and  Jane  Fowler 
Bullis,  of  Whittier,  California,  was  also  given 
special  mention  as  having  traveled  the  farth- 
est. After  the  luncheon  we  went  to  Walker 
House  where  a  special  reunion  party  was ' 
arranged  by  our  competent  social  chairman, 
Mrs.  Charlotte  Shields  Murphy.  We  showed 
pictures,  old  and  new,  the  old  ones  bringing 
back  many  memories,  the  new  ones  showing 


CLASS   OF   1908 


The  Class  of  1908  met  for  its  scheduled 
business  meeting  hoping  that  by  some  good 
fortune,  our  president.  Dr.  Winfield  Booth, 
would  be  there  with  gavel  in  hand.  How- 
ever,   illness    prevented    his    presence. 

After  the  appointment  of  Henry  C.

like.  There  is  no  way  to  express  the  satis- 
faction each  one  had  in  meeting  classmates, 
but  each  one  felt  so  rewarded  for  the  effort 
to  attend,   that  we   most  earnestly  urge   the 


remaining   members    of    our    class    to    share 
this  supreme  experience  with  us  at  the  SOth.

our  pride  and  interest  in  the  generations  that 
follow  us. 

Everyone  received  a  "prize"  for  one  reason 
or  another.  We  had  punch,  cookies,  and 
candy,  and  lots  of  talk.  Our  regret  is  that 
all  cou'd  not  have  stayed  with  the  small  group 
to  the  end.  This  group  went  to  church,  the 
President's  reception.  Baccalaureate  services.

Edith  Kelly  Fetherston's  paintings  and  antiques 
at  Packwood  House. 

As  guests  of  the  University,  we  are  most 
grateful  for  the  fine  hospitality  extended  to 
us.  AH  in  all  it  was  a  very  happy  and  mem- 
orable time  for  those  present.  To  quote  a 
member  of  the  University  family  "everybody 
was  watching  them,  they  were  having  such 
a  good  time." 

— Mrs.  Elvie  C.  Herpel, 

President. 


Members  of  the  class  were  happy  to  meet 
each  other  and  the  various  members  of  their 
fatnilics  who  displayed  the  same  keen  en- 
thusiasm and  interest   from  start  to  finish. 

The  Committee  for  the  SOth  Anniversary 
has  already  begun  plans;  the  first  is  to  ob- 
tain a  snap-shot  Twith  film)  as  of  1953  of 
each  class  member.  Do  it  now,  and  mail  it 
to  Margaret  Mathias  at  once. 

Our  class  was  given  recognition  for  its 
contributions  to  the  Alumni  Fund,  and  we 
hope  that  in  the  future  W.  Carl  Sprout,  our 
class  fund  manager  will  be  given  your  liberal 
(Upfiort  in  making  the  record  of  1908  even

With  startling  swiftness  forty  years  have 
swept  by  since  1913,  and  it  is  June,  1953. 
Twenty-eight  of  us,  prouder  of  out  Bucknell 
heritage  than  ever  in  the  past,  spent  happy 
hours  together  celebrating  in  grand  reunion 
at  the  campus  we  all  love  so  well. 

On  Saturday,  June  6,  came  our  first  official 
time  for  assorted  and  approved  epithets  of 
greeting,  renewed  handshakes,  and  heartiest 
gladness.  It  was  real,  honest-to-goodness 
reality.  Interrupting  all  this  gayety,  of  nec- 
essity, came  our  business  meeting. 

After  greetings  by  our  friendly  faculty  host. 
Dr.  Frantz,  Prexy  Howard  "Sal"  Fisher 
called  all  to  silence  and  to  words  of  prayer 
by  Rev.  George  F.  Haines.  Thus,  in  dignity 
and  thankful  worship  was  our  meeting  begun. 

Accompanied  by  occasional  clattering  of  a 
classroom  bell  on  the  wall  to  add  college 
flavor  and  halted  by  frequent  interruptions 
by  raucous  welcomes  to  new  arrivals,  the 
meeting  was  highly  responsive  to  our  prexy's 
conduct  of  every  item  of  heavy  business  to 
receive  attention  by  these  60-year-olds  bent 
on  a  good  time. 

Everything  was  lovely.  Officers  elected 
for  a  new  five-year  term  arc  "Howie"  Fisher, 
president;  Prof.  "Hal"  Shaffer,  treasurer; 
C.  L.  Sanders,  secretary;  "Mar"  Glover,  re- 
union chairman.  In  fact  everything  went 
so  well  that  a  motion  was  passed  to  establish 
class  dues,  voluntary  but  desirable,  to  assure 
the  sound  financial  honor  of  1913  and  to  give 
Harold  Shaffer  the  pleasure  of  sending  onl 
notices  sometime  next  spring. 

Oi  course,  a  photographer  had  to  iiUirrupl 
the  stately,  however  noisy,  progress  of  our 
meeting.  Well,  the  picture  soon  became  a 
matter  of  record  for  the  ALUMNUS  and 
the  archives  where  all  claims  lo  greatness  are 
preserved.  Within  nn'nutes  after  the  Ijual 
camera  click  came  Delinda  Potter  and  Jane 
Ircy  Rces,  first  girls  to  report.  At  the  lunch- 
eon F.thel  Hottenstein  Miles  joined  the  group 
and  the  fun.     On  the  parade  march  to  Davis 


Gym,  "Pud"  Stein  and  "Whitey"  Zehner  fell 
into  line.  "Berk"  Hastings  could  be  present 
Friday  evening  only.  Of  the  28  returning, 
the  six  just  named  are  missing  from  the  pic- 
ture. Try  to  identify  the  other  twenty-two, 
all  men,  the  12  ladies  being  wives  present, 
although  a  few  are  not  in  the  picture. 

Following  the  picture  a  memorial  for  our 
40  departed  classmates  was  fittingly  observed. 
Class  reporter  Sanders  slowly  read  the  names 
after  which  Rev.  Ed.  Brush  united  hearts 
and  minds  with  the  personalities  of  those 
gone  from  their  earthly  home.  These  mo- 
ments in  prayer  recorded  a  fealty  to  Bucknell 
and  1913  that  can  not  be  forgotten. 

On  Friday  evening,  for  12  early  birds,  and 
on  Saturday  afternoon  the  home  of  Classmate 
"Jim"  McCkire  and  wife  on  University  Ave- 
nue was  our  headquarters.  Language  only 
weakly  can  express  our  gratitude  for  the  re- 
ception all  of  us  received  there.  It  was  su- 
perb— hospitality,  cookies,  punch,  memories, 
chats,  everything  but  goodbyes. 

Those  Lucky  13  badges  were  distinctive. 
Worn  with  unbelievable  pride,  they  added  to 
campus  color  and  enthusiasm  beyond  any 
classmate's  dream. 

But  I  must  not  stop  without  telling  of 
greetings  read  from  Helen  Harlol  Leonard, 
Rev.  "Dick"  Howling,  "Howie"  Goehring, 
Llarry  Xing  Kelly,  Winifred  Naylor,  (ieorge 
I'iersol. 

To  all  wives  present  a  gracious  Thanks!! 
(ciiiK-  ,i(_;,iin.  You  are  in  the  best  of  standing 
.IS  honorary  members  of  1913.  Next  time 
we  hope  siiine  husbands  of  classmate  wives 
will  join  ns   in  all   the  nu'nimenl. 

And  to  all  abscMlees  a  siiic<Ti-  regret  that 
you  were  unalilr  li>  iduic  this  yc-ir!  We 
missed  you  not  as  a  group  but  one  by  one. 
We  can  hope  for  all  a  return  at  a  future  time. 
Our  45lli   will  be  here  soon — in   1958.

CLASS  OF  1918 


How  time  flies!  Reunion  is  over  and  now 
we  will  begin  to  plan  for  the  next  one.  At- 
tendance was  light,  as  you  will  see  from  the 
group    picture. 

I  was  a  little  surprised  to  find  that  I  had 
been  listed  as  Reunion  Chairman.  Had  I 
known  that  I  am  sure  I  would  have  made 
an  extra  special  effort  to  see  that  more  of 
you  '18ers  had  journeyed  to  Lewisburg. 

Our  President,  Barton  Mackey,  has  been 
convalescing  from  a  serious  operation  and 
he  asked  me  to  take  over  for  him.  I  was 
late  in  arriving,  having  had  to  detour 
through  Montandon  to  reach  Lewisburg.  We 
had  our  business  meeting,  electing  the  same 
officers,  with  the  exception  of  Dr.  Chester 
Keefer,  who  had  asked  to  be  relieved  of  his 
post.  In  his  place,  and  combining  the  office 
of  class  treasurer  and  class  fund  manager, 
we  elected  Russell  E.  Boyer.  You  will  be 
hearing  from  him.  We  exchanged  news,  had 
our  picture  taken  and  then  attended  the 
Alumni    Truncheon. 


r  had  never  attended  an  Alumni  Luncheon 
and  I  found  it  most  interesting;  a  thousand 
Bucknellians  is  a  fine  spot  to  acquire  some 
of   that   good   old    Bucknell    enthusiasm. 

Of  the  members  who  were  back  for  our 
Reunion,  Jessie  Potts  Kline  had  her  father 
with  her.  Mr.  Potts  is  88.  Dagmar  Leth 
Donauer  had  her  husband,  Dr.  Donauer,  and 
her  mother,  Mrs.  Leth,  who  is  -82.  Dagmar 
has  a  son,  a  Princeton  graduate  and  a  doctor, 
serving  in   Korea. 

Did  you  know  that  University  records 
show  that  31  members  of  our  Class  have 
died?  And  there  are  16  "lost"  members.  Do 
you  know  the  whereabouts  of  Marguerite 
Baird  or  Trella  Yoder — just  two  of  the  miss- 
ing? 

I  do  hope  to  hear  from  more  of  you  in 
the  future.  The  reporting  has  been  fun  and 
I  want  to  continue — with  your  help. 

— Elizabeth   Champion   King, 

Secretary. 


CLASS  OF  1923 


To  those  who  have  to  read  this  report  to 
learn  about  our  class  reunion — condolences! 
Golly,  we  wish  you  could  have  made  it!  More 
fun!  "Now  don't  tell  me,  I'll  remember  in 
a  minute — isn't  this — but  it  can't  be.  Why

you  don't  look  thirty  years  older!  Hi,  Peg! 
Why,  there's  Betty,  too  (hugs  and  kisses). 
And  there's  Andy  Gehret  (Doctor,  5^  o  u 
know).  Isn't  he  distinguished  looking  with 
his  fine  face  and  white  hair?  ,  And,  isn't  he

lucky  to  have  all  that  hair!"  Dal  Griffith 
has  some,  too.  So  does  Luke  Miller  and 
Pinky  Jones  (in  fact.  I  happen  to  know 
that  Pinky  is  just  a  trifle  proud  of  his).  As 
for  a  lot  of  the  others — well,  some  of  the 
nicest  guys  haven't  much,  you  know.  In 
general,  the  women  seem  to  have  held  up 
better  than  the  men.  (If  you  don't  believe 
it,   order  a  reunion  picture). 

Now  for  some  less  disputable  information. 
Your  reporter  missed  the  business  meeting 
in  the  morning  due  to  the  coincidence  of  re- 
union and  ripe  strawberries  that  had  to  be 
"done".  Dick,  my  youngest  son,  and  I  were 
there  in  plenty  of  time,  however,  to  join  the 
forty  or  more  members  of  our  class  as- 
sembled for  the  march  down  the  hill  to  Davis 
gym  and  dinner.  We  were  no  more  than 
seated  till  Gladys  Emerick  Erdman  and  I 
were  exchanging  snapshots  of  our  families. 
It  was  slightly  more  than  warm  that  day, 
so  the  removal  of  coats  by  the  men  soon 
became  a  general  activity.  Then  some  of  the 
big  brains  of  the  class  (they  must  have 
been  engineers  and  they  might  have  been 
headed  by  our  president)  gathered  up  all  the 
decorative  balloons  within  reach,  tied  the 
strings  together,  fastened  then  to  the  size- 
able 1923  card  from  their  table  and  nudged 
the  creation  gently  skyward.  Up  it  went, 
grandly,  applause  rising  with  it — till  it 
lodged  against  the  top-most  rafters;  1923 
took  precedence  over  all  its  fellows. 


CLASS  OF   1928 


One  hundred  seventeen  (117)  alumni  rep- 
resented the  Class  of  1928  at  its  all-important 
Twenty-fifth  reunion  on  June  6,  1953. 

An  influx  of  alumni  in  general  began  on 
Friday,  and  continued  throughout  the  week- 
end. A  large  number  were  "Twenty-eighters" 
who  lost  no  time  in  meeting  old  friends' and 
making  new  ones.  We  couldn't  have  had 
more  fun! 

SEPTEMBER      1953 


NIONS 


Following  the  dinner  we  went  to  Seventh 
Street  House  (right  across  the  street  from 
Annex,  girls^  where  our  afternoon  head- 
quarters were.  There  Jerr\-  Schmucker 
Sheffer  had  her  husband  installed  behind  the 
punch  bowl,  ladling  out  a  good  cold  harm- 
less drink  to  all  comers  (.Jerry  w-as  too  busy 
VN"aiting  for  a  telephone  message  that  \vould 
say  she  had  a  new  grandchild).  There  were 
others  there  not  free  from  anxiety  either. 
Vivian  Livingston  Ferguson's  husband  has 
been  seriously  ill  for  quite  some  time  and 
her  trip  back  to  the  campus  was  what  the 
doctor  ordered  as  a  needed  respite  for  her, 
from  the  constant,  devoted  care  of  him. 
They  live  in  Ocean  City,  N.  J.  Vivian's 
famous  smile  is  still  there,  and  still  very 
sweet.  Anyhow,  everybody  seemed  so  happy 
to  see  everybody  else,  and  those  of  us  who 
had  anything  to  do  with  planning  the  re- 
union felt  gratified  to  have  the  response  that 
we  did  to  the  first  concerted  effort  to  have  a 
real  reunion  in  the  thirty  years  since  gradu- 
ation. 

A  list  of  ofiicers  elected  at  the  business 
meeting  follows:  president.  Dr.  Dalzell  M. 
Griffith:  vice-president,  Harry  W.  Jones; 
secretarj-,  Foster  C.  Wilson;  treasurer,  class 
fund  manager,  Arda  C.  Bowser;  class  re- 
porter,  Mrs.   LeRoy   Frantz. 

— Olive    Eillhime    Frantz, 
Reporter. 


This  reunion  was  the  first  real  get-together 
of  our  class  since  graduation,  and  through 
the  efforts  of  a  fine  group  of  committees  it 
wa»  a  really  bang-up  affair.  The  whole  wcek- 
ftnl  was  a  very  busy  one,  but  it  was  so  well 
planned  that  everyone  had  adequate  time  to 
rclax>  and  visit  with  families  and  friends. 

Our  class  meeting  was  scheduled  lor  10:.30 
|tn  the  beautiful  Bcrtrand  Library,  After 
.s  K  p  T  K  M  n  K  R     I  »  s  a 


H.  M.  Marsh  "Gummy"  opened  the  meeting 
with  a  friendl}-  welcome  he  familiarized  us 
with  the  fine  program  set  up  tor  us  and  all 
of  the  returning  Bucknellians  and  friends.  A 
huge  planning  committee  comprised  of  stu- 
dents, faculty,  alumni  and  the  townspeople 
had  left  nothing  undone.  Special  attention 
had  been  given  to  arranging  housing  ac- 
commodations and  fine  food  for  all  of  us. 

Dr.  Lewis  Theiss  was  our  honorary  faculty 
guest.  It  was  great  to  see  and  hear  from  him 
again.  We  all  recalled  how  very  pleased  he 
had  been  years  ago  when  we  elected  to  dedi- 
cate our  L'Agenda  to  him. 

A  very  brief  business  meeting  followed, 
and  we  were  brought  up  to  date  on  a  few 
vital  matters.  We  were  reminded  by  our 
President — Marsh,  not  "Ike" — to  obtain  our 
special  reunion  hats  and  also  our  anniversary 
booklets.  The  latter  is  a  class  history  espe- 
cially prepared  by  a  committee  appointed 
many  months  prior  to  our  reunion.  These 
booklets  are  great,  and  if  you  haven't  seen 
one  send  a  buck  to  Buck  Shott  and  get  one. 
All  the  worthwhile  news  of  those  who  took 
time   to   answer   the   questionnaire   has   been 


compiled  in  fine  style  to  be  passed  on  to  you. 
After  you  read  it  you  will  know  just  what 
became  of  old  what's-his-name! 

After  the  class  picture  was  taken  we  lined 
up  behind  a  band,  and  began  the  traditional 
march  to  the  Davis  Gj'm  where  we  had  our 
Alumni  luncheon. 

At  three  that  afternoon,  we  all  met  at  the 
Milton  Country  Club  for  a  social  get-together.. 
More  _  tales  were  told  and  more  stories 
swapped  in  the  next  few  hours  than  you'd 
hear  at  an  Elk's  Convention!  We  must  have 
been  quite  a  bunch  "in  our  day." 

I  know  everyone  who  was  there  will  agree 
this  one  event  in  our  program  was  a  real  high- 
light.    We  had  such  a  lot  of  fun! 

Each  one  of  you  must  make  up  your  mind 
now  to  be  one  of  those  to  return  to  our  next 
reunion.  You  know  you  really  should  if  only 
to  check  on  the  gang  and  see  how  everyone — 
well  except  you,  of  course,  has  changed. 

I  promise  if  you  go  back  once  you'll  agree 
that  Reunions  are  grand! 

— LoRiNNE  M.  Marsh, 
Secretary. 


CLASS  OF   1933 


If  you  saw  a  handsome  man  or  an  attrac- 
tive lady  with  a  saucer-size  Orange  and 
Blue  button,  clutching  Orange  and  Blue 
balloons  and  leaning  on  a  cane — that  was  a 
happy  classmate  from  1933.  There  were  47 
class  members  who  returned  for  the  biggest 
and  best  reunion — our  20th.  We  didn't  count 
the  children  but  there  were  some  very  at- 
tractive youngsters  in  the  group — some  old 
enough   to  attend  college — how  time  passes! 

According  to  the  records,  the  niemlnr 
traveling  the  greatest  distance  to  attend  the 
reunion  was  our  genial  "Red"  Wilkenson 
who  journeyed  from  Hawaii.  And,  he  came 
bearing  lovely  orchids  for  the  ladies — real 
ones  flown  in  from  Hawaii.  Thanks  again, 
"Red",  they  made  us  feel  like  only  an  orchid 
can — simply  wonderful! 

We  were  serious— long  enough  to  elect 
the  following  officers  for  the  next  5  years: 
president,  D.  Qayton  Brouse;  vice-president, 


Warren  (Bud)  Stflpleton;  secretary,  Marie 
Groff  Hester;  treasurer,  Ralph  Reish;  class 
reporter,  Janet  Worthinglon  Engleliardt; 
class  fund  ■manager,  Campljell  Rutledge,  Jr.; 
25th  reunion  chairman,  Louis  .1.  Rnsso. 

We  had  anotlier  serious  nuiinenl  too— 
when  we  realized  all  llie  time,  work,  and 
effort  that  Bill  Liming  devoted  to  our  class 
book,  "Twenty  ^■^■ars  .After".  This  1953  An- 
niversary L'Agenda  isn't  an  ordinary  book; 
it  has  items  of  interest  of  our  classmates, 
candid  camera  shots  of  the  m  and  their 
families,  and  plenty  of  statistics  on  what  our 
classmates  have  achieved.  The  book  creates 
a  warm  feeling  for  our  class  and  our  col- 
lege. 

If  yon  missed  tlie  2Uth  rcimion  start 
pl:iiniiiiK  now  for  (lie  2Sth — it's  later  llian 
yon    lliink!

CLASS  OF   1938 


In  the  absence  of  the  class  secretary  and 
class  reporter,  I  shall  attempt  to  report  the 
activities  of  the  reunion  of  the  Class  of  1938. 
In  the  10th  anniversary  report  for  the  Class 
of  1938,  Ira  Fox  mentioned  that  enough 
enthusiasm  was  expressed  by  the  small  group 
to  indicate  bigger  and  better  reunions  for  the 
future.  Surely  this  ISth  anniversary  of  ours 
was  a  huge  success.  Ward  Gage  and  "C.  H." 
Richardson,  co-chairmen  of  the  reunion, 
should  be  given  special  credit  for  their  efforts 
in  the  interest  of  our  class. 

During  the  short  business  meeting  before 
luncheon  the  following  officers  were  elected 
for  the  next  five  years:  president,  Ira  G. 
Fox;  vice-president,  William  D.  Foltz;  sec- 
retary, Alice  Anderson  Clemens;  treasurer, 
Constance  Krautter  Edwards;  class  fund 
manager,  Ira  G.  Fox;  class  reporter,  Ann 
Culbertson  Dempsey.  Letters  received  from 
members  who  could  not  attend  were  circu- 
lated and  read.  Mr.  Howard  Kieft,  a  faculty 
member  handling  psychological  testing,  was 
our  faculty  host.  The  book  entitled  "Rumi- 
nate with  '38"  was  given  to  each  of  us. 


The  Reunion  Classes  joined  in  a  mass 
parade  from  the  Lit  Building  to  the  Gym. 
And  here  I  must  congratulate  the  LTniversitj^ 
on  its  excellent  handling  of  the  Alumni  lunch- 
eon and  all  the  reunion  activities.  Everyone 
seemed  so  very  favorably  impressed  with  the 
efforts  made  to  insure  an  enjoj'able  weekend 
for  the  returning  classes. 

Thanks  to  Marion  Ranck  Rose  and  her 
husband  for  entertaining  us  at  their  home  on 
Saturday  afternoon  and  to  Bob  Wright  and 
his  wife  for  the  hospitality  the  '38ers  enjoyed 
after  closing  the  Alumni  Jamboree  late  Sat- 
urday evening. 

Let  us  begin  planning  our  20th  reunion 
now.  Although  this  is  the  first  reunion  I 
have  attended,  I  will  certainly  make  every 
effort  to  attend  the  future  ones.  Those  of 
you  who  could  not  come  this  time  should 
definitely  return  in  1958. 

— Constance  Krautter  Edwards, 
Treasurer. 


CLASS  OF   1943 


The  tenth  reunion  meeting" 
1943  was  called  to  order

CLASS  OF   1948 


Forty-eight  of  our  classmates  came  back  to 
our  fifth  reunion — yes,  48  from  the  class  of 
'48 — we  did  it. 

We  had  a  marvelous  time — only  wish  more 
of  you  could  have  made  it — please  try  hard 
to  come  in  1958 — our  tenth  reunion. 

Our    activity    started     Saturday    morning, 
June  6th,  at  a  "business"  meeting  in  one  of 
the  Lit  rooms.     Actually,  we  mostly  caught 
up   on  what  everyone   had   done  in  the  past 
5  years.     Then  we  picked  up  our  identifying 
insignia   which   was   a   cane   with   a    BLTCK- 
NELL   pennant   and   a   sign   with   '48   on   it. 
One  of  the  highlights  of  the  meeting  was  thel 
presentation  of  a  pamphlet  published  by  ourl 
own  JOHN  BURTON   CLARK,  who  com- 
piled it  from  replies  to  the  questionnaires  wel 
received  last  spring.     It  is  a  most  interesting 
and  informative  booklet  and  must  have  taken

ohn. 

Alter  we  had  our  class  picture  taken  (see 
bovc).  we  marched  down,  by  reunion  classes, 
o  Davis  Gym  for  the  All-.^lumni  luncheon. 
t  was  a  beautiful  day  lor  marching — not 
ikt  five  years  ago,  remember? 

At  3  o'clock  we  met  informally  at  Edwards 
^ouse,  next  to  the  music  school,  on  Sixth 
Street,  a  newly  acquired  coed  house. 

Some  of  the  coed  houses  were  taken  over 
omplctely  by  '48ers  for  dormitory  use  for 
he  weekend — so  we  talked  all  night  too. 
•'vcryone  was  so  happy  to  be  back  together. 

And  trtat's  about  it — we  of  the  Class  of 
948  who  got  back  to  our  Fifth  Reunion  felt 
is  if  we'd  never  left  our  home,  BLXKNELL.

The  Alumni  ()ff\cv  urRcntly  requests 
that  the  names  and  service  addresses. 
if  possible,  of  Alumni  on  military  duty 
be  forwarded  to  I-cwisburg.

Many  loyal  Bucknellians  from  the  Class 
of  '52  journeyed  back  to  Lewisburg  for  their 
first  reunion,  to  join  in  the  planned  festivities 
as  well  as  some  of  their  own  making.  A 
small  fraction  of  those  who  returned  met 
under  the  chairmanship  of  .August  St.  John 
at  the  scheduled  alumni  reunion  in  Bertrand 
Librarj',  as  evidenced  by  our  class  picture. 
(  Many  more  w-ere  'listening  to  the  ivy'  over 
a  cup  of  coffee  at  the  Bison).  Our  individ- 
uality as  members  of  the  class  of  'Si  was 
noted  by  white  carnations  tied,  naturally, 
with   orange   and   blue   streamers. 

Mr.  Charles  A.  Hollister  was  our  very 
pleasant  and  helpful  faculty  host.     The  busi- 


ness of  re-electing"  alumni  officers  was  com- 
pleted with  but  one  change,  that  of  secre- 
tary— yours  truly  being  the  obvious  substitu- 
tion. 

The  rest  of  the  meeting  as  well  as  the  rest 
of  the  weekend  was  spent  catching  up  on  the 
whereabouts  of  fellow  classmates,  and  re- 
newing  acquaintances   with   under-graduates. 

In  closing,  the  class  of  '52  wishes  to  thank 
its  reunion  chairman,  August  St.  John,  and 
the  numerous  undergraduates  who  worked 
hard  to  make  our  first  reunion  a  successful 
one.

CLASS  OF  1953 


According  to  the  June  issue  of  THE 
BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS,  "the  weather 
man  had  been  spoken  to  .  .  .  that  the  June 
6  weekend  would  be  a  typical  sun-drenched 
lluckiu'l!  weekend" — and  that  it  was  for  over 
I  tiiousand  seniors,  friends,  and  families  thai 
gathered  on  the  campus  to  salute  and  say 
farewell  to  the  Class  of  'S3. 

It  was  a  weekend  devoted  to  fun,  chats, 
and  get-togethers,  with  the  seniors  and  their 
families  as  guests  of  honor;  and  yet  it  was 
also  a  weekend  devoted  to  the  -Munnii,  with 
the  activities  of  the  two  groups  meshed  to- 
gether to  recapture  and  recall  the  college 
days  once  enjoyed. 

An  activity  participaterl  in  by  the  seniors 
that  was  not  scheduled  was  one  that  will  be 
long  remembered  by  the  class.  The  salute 
to  President  aiifl  Mrs.  Ilildreth  at  the  rally 
held  the  night  they  returned  from  I'.ikislan 
had  its  sad  moments,  for  IVisidciit  Ilildreth 
might  well  have  been  con.sidcred  a  mcMiher 
of  the  Class  o{  '53  since  he  had  taken  his 


■S  K  !•  7   K  M  B  K  It 


position  lour  years  ago  and,  in  a  sense,  had 
"graduated"  with  the  seniors.  The  cheers, 
posters,  and  shouts  of  "good  luck"  will  not 
soon  be  forgotten. 

The  All-Ahnnni  Luncheon  boasted  the 
presence  of  ;i  large  part  of  the  senior  class  as 
they  slightly  prematurely  look  their  places 
in  the  group  of  liiicknell  Ahnnni.  I'ollowing 
the  luncheon  most  of  the  seniors  attended  the 
Varsity-Alumni  baseball  game  —  and,  of 
course,  cheered  their  own  varsity  team  to 
victory. 

Symposia,  llie  Jamboree  (lul  \Villi;inis 
and  Ihe  gang  were  a  riot),  and  the  Cap  and 
Dagger  play,  "School  for  Scandal"  filled  the 
evening  w  i  t  h  never-to-be-forgotten  mem- 
ories. 

Connneni-emenl  ninrning  arrived  sunny 
and  not  too  warm- -a  perfect  day  to  gradu- 
ate the  381  seniors  who  had  waited  four 
years    fur    this    precise    moment.

CLUB  ACTIVITIES 


Baltimore 

A  small,  but  intimate  group  of  Buck- 
nell  Alumni  gathered  at  the  Sparrows 
Point  Country  Club  for  a  meeting  on 
Saturday,  June  20.  Early  arrivals  were 
treated  to  a  cruise  on  Harold  Ruger's 
boat. 

Following  a  chicken  dinner,  the  presi- 
dent, Harold  Ruger,  introduced  our  guest 
speaker.  Dr.  C.  Herschel  Jones  from 
Bucknell.  His  talk  was  most  interestin.g 
and  enlightening  as  to  what  is  taking- 
place  on  the  campus  and  also  in  the  po- 
litical science  department.  An  inforinal 
discussion   followed   the   talk. 

The  election  of  officers  was  postponed 
until  the  fall  meeting  when  we  hope  there 
will   be   a   much   larger   attendance.

Secretary. 

Long  Island 

Following  a  delicious  dinner  at  Felice's 
Restaurant  May  7  at  Westbury,  L.  I.,  at- 
tended by  about  sixty  Bucknellians  and 
friends,  Tom  Cann,  Jr.  '41,  president  of 
the  Long  Island  Bucknell  Club,  called 
a  brief  business  meeting.  After  accep- 
tance of  reports  by  the  secretary  and 
treasurer,  the  president  appointed  a  nomi- 
nating committee  to  prepare  a  list  of  offi- 
cer nominees  for  consideration  at  the 
September  meeting.  The  nominating 
committee  includes:  Paul  Crago  '30. 
chairman;  "Duke"  Dueger  '47;  Walter 
Rohr  '39;  Betty  Liming  '34;  Sally  Cann 
'39. 

A  most  interesting  program  then  fol- 
lowed, introduced  with  a  brief  review  of 
the  beginning  (2  years  ago)  of  the 
awarding  of  a  trophy  to  an  outstanding 
Long  Island  High  School  athlete,  of  high 
scholarship  and  of  the  presentation  of 
that  trophy  at  an  annual  Sports  Award 
Dinner. 

Attention  was  called  to  the  fact  that  in 
■  attendance  at  this  Sports  Award  Dinner 
were  Coach  Harry  Lawrence  of  Buck- 
nell, a  number  of  Long  Island  High 
School  coaches  (including  the  coach  from 
the  school  of  the  1953  award  winner),  the 
Sports  Editors  from  each  of  the  three 
Long  Island  daily  newspapers  who  nomi- 
nate several  boys  for  consideration  in 
awarding  of  the  trophy,  several  prospec- 
tive Bucknell  students,  and  a  fine  repre- 
'"sentation   of   Bucknell   alumni. 

Bill  Liming  '33  then  introduced  the 
1953  Sports  Award  Winner — Jim  Ther- 
rian  of  Charmmade  High  School,  Mine- 
ola,  N.  Y.,  whose  sports  include  foot- 
ball, basketball,  and  track  (half  mile), 
and  whose  other  activities  include  presi- 
dent of  his  class,  president  of  the  Student 
Council,  and  the  achievement  of  a  94% 
scholastic  average  for  his  four  years  in 
high    school. 

Nick  Farina  '34,  principal  at  Lawrence, 
L.  I.  introduced  Coach  Harry  Lawrence 
of  Bucknell  who  presented  the  trophy  to 
Jim  Therrian  on  behalf  of  the  Long 
Island   Bucknell   Club. 

Following  a  most  interesting  talk  by 
Coach  Lawrence,  Bucknell  football 
movies  were  shown,  with  commentary 
by   Coach   Lawrence. 

The  meeting  then  closed,  leaving  all 
of  those  in  attendance  with  the  feeling 
that  this  had  been  a  "fine  affair."

Ah  me,  is  it  really  fifty  years  since  we 
gathered,  a  hundred  strong,  in  Bucknell 
Hall  to  meet  Prexy  Harris  with  the 
keen  grey  eyes  and  the  sudden  warm 
smile,  and  to  sign  the  big  book  and 
shake  his  hand,  being  thus  formally 
matriculated  as  freshmen.  How  busy 
those  Lewisburg  September  days  were; 
buying  furniture  from  Lou  Robey  and 
Coxey  Thompson,  the  college  pluto- 
crats; buying  Billy  Bartol's  blue  geome- 
try; beginning  "that  av/ful  German 
language"  with  Emil  Weithaas.  Rhe- 
toric with  Llewellyn  Phillips  at  eight 
o'clock  every  Monday;  hearing  him  read 
our  themrs — (of  my  first  one  he  said: 
"Now  that's  a  paper  a  drunken  man 
might  have  written" — a  very  apt  figure, 
for  it  certainly  staggered  toward  an  un- 
certain goal). 

Chapel;  fifteen  minutes  with  Prexy's 
Bible  reading,  short  prayer,  and  a  hymn 
intoned  by  Waltz  and  a  straggling  choir. 
Greta,  bustling  about  on  many  errands. 
"The  freshman-sophomore  scrap.  The 
bridge  on  St.  George  Street  and  the 
legend  inscribed  by  Stanton-led  Semi- 
tes: "The  freshman  girls  did  it — the 
boys  were  too  slow." 

Hazing;  a  memory  of  Sandy  Adams 
tackling  Doc  GrofT's  comshocks  under 
a  sophomore  coaching.  Parading  past 
the  Sem  Indian  file  confessing  "How 
^een  I  am."  Informal  debate  under 
mstruction  from  Timmy  Powell  (now  a 
sober  Congregational  minister;  on  the 
question:  Resolved,  that  rain  is  wetter 
than  water.     Potter  starred.

year  imprisonment  in  Northern  Korea. 
They  are  looking  forward  to  goinn  back 
to  Korea  as  soon  as  possible  because  of 
the  great  need  for  experienced  mission-

By  the  time  that  you  read  these  notes, 
your  local  reunion  committee  will  have 
met,  and  started  the  ball  rolling  for  the 
biggest  and  best  reunion  in  the  history 
of  Bucknell!  Our  President  Paul  called 
a  meeting  for  the  week  end  of  August 
28,  at  which  time  plans  were  formu- 
lated and  chairmen  appointed.  How- 
ever, we  wish  that  each  one  of  you 
would  make  yourself  a  committee  of 
one  to  stir  up  interest  and  enthusiasm 
among  the  '29-ers  in  your  area.  Why 
not  write  your  reporter  and  offer  your 
help. 

We  plan  to  hold  a  general  meeting  at 
Homecoming  on  October  17,  and  it 
would  be  a  real  inspiration  to  your  of- 
ficers if  we  were  to  have  representatives 
from  many  sections  of  the  state  and 
country  where  members  of  the  Class 
of  1929  are  living.  This  meeting  will 
set  off  the  real  fireworks  for  our  re- 
union in  June. 

Your  reporter  is  truly  grateful  to  all 
those  who  have  returned  the  cards  with 
a  personal  thumb  nail  sketch,  but  what 
about  those  other  125  who  have  laid  it

Colgate-Rochester  Divinity  School  Bul- 
letin points  with  pride  to  Tom  for  his 
outstanding  and  unselfish  work  in  the 
service  center.  We  point  with  pride  to 
Tom  and  his  wife  (Mary  Savidge  Rich- 
ards '42)  for  their  unselfish  service  to 
the  Bucknell  Alumni  programs  in  Roch- 
ester where  Tom  is  president  of  the 
local  alumni  club.  We  too  are  proud  of 
his  intelligent  and  practical  work  with 
the  unfortunate  of  his  city.  Tom  dis- 
plays a  real  sense  of  mission  in  his  work 
and  religious  services  are  a  definite  part 
of  the  life  in  the  service  center.  And 
because  Tom  believes  in  the  inate  hon- 
esty of  man  and  their  wish  to  be  in- 
dependent and  not  objects  of  charity, 
he  has  initiated  the  policy  of  making 
loans  for  their  basic  needs.  About  75% 
are  repaid;  the  self-respect  of  the  men 
has  thus  been  preserved  and  Tom's  faith 
in  them  has  been  justified.

The  Internship  Program 

(Continued  from  Page  9) 

surface  has  hardly  been  scratdied  and  many 
opportunities  exist  in  federal  and  state  ser- 
vice for  eager  college  men  and  women.  1 
wish  Bucknell  could  establish  a  scholarship 
fund  of  its  own  to  encourage  at  least  one 
deserving  student  each  year  to  go  into  pub- 
lic service  as  a  number  of  the  other  schools 
are  doing. 

Fi  0)11  RusscI!  0.  Hess  '40: 

When  the  N.  I.  P.  A.  program  became  ex- 
tinct in  1949,  it  had  literally  put  itself  out 
of  business.  During  the  years  from  1936  to 
1942,  the  Institute,  although  it  had  no  official 
link  with  the  federal  service,  was  one  of  the 
principal  suppliers  of  promising  young  execu- 
tive talent.  In  the  war  years,  with  impetus 
supplied  by  the  Civil  Service  Commission, 
the  federal  government  began  to  undertake 
increasingly  more  extensive  programs  of  pos- 
itive recruitment  of  junior  executives. 

In  the  immediate  post-war  period  the  com- 
Liination   of  the  abolition  of   many,   and   the 


retrendiment  of  other  federal  activities, 
together  with  legal  and  other  inhibiting  re- 
cruitment factors,  signalled  the  approaching 
end  of  the  institute's  program.  The  institution 
of  executive  selection  and  training  programs 
as  official  federal  programs  came  about  as  a 
direct  result  of  the  efforts  of  Dr.  F,  M. 
Davenport  and  his  leadership  of  the  N.  I.  P. 
A.  program.  As  one  who  was  privileged  to 
be  associated  with  the  N.  1.  P.  A.  in  its 
golden  era  and  who  is  intimately  familiar 
with  the  current  Junior  Management  Assis- 
tant program,  I  naturally  regret  the  passing 
of  the  N.  I.  P.  A.,  but  believe  that  the  J.  M. 
A.  is  a  worthy  son  of  a  worthy  parent. 

On  leaving  Bucknell,  I  came  to  Washing- 
ton in  the  fall  of  1940  to  participate  in  the 
work-study  program  under  the  aegis  of  the 
National  Institute  of  Public  Affairs.  Inci- 
dentally, 1  am  doubly  indebted  to  the  insti- 
tute, because  it  selected  a  girl  to  be  part  of 
our  intern  group  who  subseciuently  became 
my  wife  and  the  mother  of  our  three  sons. 

As  an  immediate  outgrowth  of  the  experi- 
ence in  the  N.  I.  P.  A.  program,  I  became 
affiliated  with  the  Farm  Security  Adminis- 
tration, and  served  with  various  other  units 
of  the  Agricultural  Department  from  1941 
to  1946.  From  1946  to  1950,  when  I  re- 
turned to  the  federal  service,  I  did  a  variety 
of  things  :  staff  member  of  a  private  man- 
agement consultant  firm ;  special  manage- 
ment project  with  U.  N.  R.  R.  A.;  and  teach- 
ing government  and  administration  at  the 
University  of  Maine  and  the  University  of 
Miami. 

The  last  two  years,  it  has  been  my  privil- 
ege to  be  associated  with  the  most  daring 
and  challenging  federal  program  in  the  post- 
war era,  the  Point  IV  or  technical  co-opera- 
tion program,  in  which  program  I  serve  as 
executive  officer  for  that  part  of  the  Point 
IV  program  concerned  with  the  Near  East 
and  independent  Africa.

SEPTEMBER       1953 


A  Buckuell  Experiiueut  Gets  Recoguition— And  Support 


By  Alfred  H.  Fenton,  Assistant  to  the  President 


Officially,  as  of  July  20,  Bucknell  Univer- 
sitj-  was  awarded  a  $25,000  grant  from  the 
Carnegie  Corporation  of  Xew  York,  to  pro- 
vide for  nourishment  of  Bucknell's  five- 
year-old  brain  child,  the   Lfniversitj-  Course. 

To  members  of  the  last  five  graduating 
classes,  who  took  part  in  this  experiment  in 
integrative  education,  this  should  be  exhilar- 
ating news.  To  all  Bucknell  Alumni,  this  rec- 
ognition by  one  of  the  country's  outstanding 
foundations  should  be  heartening  proof  that 
the  Universitj-  "on  the  hill"  continues  to 
move  forward. 

The  above  two  paragraphs  undoubtedly 
will  evoke  numerous  questions  on  the  part  of 
those  Alumni  who  have  not  been  in  touch 
with  things  academic  at  Bucknell.  \\'hat  is 
"integrative  education?"  What  is  the  Uni- 
versity Comse?  How  did  the  Carnegie  Cor- 
poration happen  to  give  the  University  $25,- 
000?  The  answers  to  these  questions  make 
rather  exciting  reading. 

At  the  close  of  World  War  II,  Bucknell 
re-examined  its  curriculum  with  a  view 
towards  meeting  post-war  needs.  The  re- 
sults of  this  Faculty  survey  showed,  among 
other  things,  that  the  trend  toward  special- 
ization at  Bucknell,  as  elsewhere,  was  pro- 
ducing lop-sided  students  —  engineers  who 
couldn't  understand  the  humanities  ;  scientists 
who  knew  the  mechanics  of  man,  but  little 
about  human  nature.  Consequently,  the  Fac- 
ulty Committee  recommended  a  special  one- 
semester  course  for  seniors  which  would  pro- 
vide a  systematic  study  with  the  view  to 
bringing  together  of  all  fields  of  knowledge. 
This  tj'pe  of  study,  known  as  integrative  edu- 
cation, had  as  its  purpose  to  acquaint  the  stu- 
dent with  the  interrelations  of  the  various 
fields  of  knowledge — to  show  how  psychology 
cannot  be  ignored  in  the  field  of  medicine ; 
how  economics  and  sociology  are  intertwined  ; 
how  biology  and  chemistrj'  are  related.  To 
set  up  such  a  "university  course"  a  Faculty 
Committee  was  appointed. 

Bucknell  was  not  alone  in  experimenting 
with  this  problem,  but  the  University  Course, 
as  conceived  by  Professors  Preston  Warren, 
Donald  Stillman.  and  Arthur  Wood,  of  the 
Philosophy,  English,  and  Sociology-  Depart- 
ments respectively — and  later  developed  by 
the  directors — was  unique  in  its  approach  to 
the  matter.  Basically,  the  University  Course 
sought  to  study  and  compare  the  various 
fields  of  knowledge  by  applying  the  same 
measures  to  each.  This  consisted  of  three 
major  questions  :  \\'hat  are  the  major  prob- 
lems in  the  field?  What  are  the  methods  by 
which  these  problems  are  attacked?  What 
are  the  basic  concepts  and  principles  in  the 
field?  In  obtaining  the  answers  to  these 
questions,  the  student  soon  came  to  see  how 
very  often  the  eflforts  in  one  field  of  knowl- 
edge were  dependent  upon  the  efforts  by  the 
specialists  in  a  second  and  third  field  of 
knowledge. 

The  University  Course  thus  accomplished 
several  things.  It  gave  the  student  a  wealth 
of  fresh  material  to  which  to  give  thought ; 
it  showcfl  the  student  that  though  he  might 
know  a  great  deal  alKiut  his  own  chosen  field, 
there  was  much  to  be  learned  in  related 
fields ;  It  mspircd  the  student  to  investigate 
these  other  fields. 

The  University  Course  was  first  given  in 
the  Spring  semester  of  1948  and  for  three 
ycar.i,  thi:  directors  of  the  course,  who  later 
included  Profcss^jr  Harry  R.  fiarvin  of  the 
English  Department,  and  Profcs.sor  F.  Da- 
vid Martin  of  the  Philosophy  Department, 
cxjicrimcntcd  and  revised  in  an  effort  to 
perfect  their  efforts.    During  this  i>criod,  the 

S  R  I'  T  K  M  B  K  R      19  5  8 


directors  studied  tlie  work  in  integrative  edu- 
cation at  other  universities  and  came  more 
and  more  to  realize  that  their  course  was  as 
good,  if  not  better,  than  most.  They  also 
reached  the  conclusion  that  to  be  most  effec- 
tive. The  University  Course  would  have  to 
be  expanded  over  several  semesters. 

Accordingly,  in  1951,  the  course  directors 
approached  the  University  administration  for 
assistance  in  obtaining  a  grant  from  a  na- 
tional foundation  for  the  purpose  of  ex- 
panding the  course.  It  was  agreed  that  the 
Carnegie  Corporation  was  the  most  likely 
source,  since  it  already  had  shown  interest  in 
the  matter  of  integrative  education.  A  trip 
to  New  York  engaged  the  interest  of  Dr. 
Oliver  C.  Carmichael,  then  President  of  the 
Carnegie  Foundation  for  the  Advancement  of 
Education,  and  in  the  Fall  of  1951  he  visited 
the  University  for  a  closer  examination  of  tlie 
project.  He  explained  that  his  organization 
was  attempting  to  help  experiments  in  in- 
tegrative education  by  backing  various  ap- 
proaches to  the  problem.  Thus,  Union  Col- 
lege and  Smith  College,  which  eventually 
received  Carnegie  grants,  had  the  same  gen- 
eral goals  as  the  Bucknell  plan,  but  were 
attempting  to  reach  them  by  other  approach- 
es. In  fact,  it  is  now  clear,  the  Bucknell 
method  has  a  much  larger  scope  than  these 
others.  Union  College,  for  example,  is  at- 
tempting to  integrate  ideas  common  to  cer- 
tain fields,  whereas  Bucknell  is  attempting 
integrations  of  all  major  fields. 

Correspondence  ensued  throughout  the 
next  year,  clarifying  the  relationships  of 
this  program  to  the  departments  of  the 
Bucknell  curriculum.  Then,  in  March  of 
1953,  Dr.  Carmichael  made  a  second  visit  to 
Bucknell  and  had  the  opportunity  of  discuss- 
ing the  matter  with  a  large  group  of  Faculty 
members.  As  a  result  of  this  visit.  Dr.  Car- 
michael recommended  to  his  board  that  a 
grant  of  $25,000,  to  be  paid  over  a  Zyi  year 
period,  be  made  in  support  of  the  University 
Course.  In  May  the  grant  was  authorized  by 
the  Board  and  the  matter  became  official  on 
July  20. 

This  support  will  now  enable  the  Univer- 
sity to  expand  the  course  from  one  semes- 
ter to  four,  thus  giving  the  student  a  better 
opportunity  to  orient  his  knowledge  witli 
that  of  other  fields.  A  university  is  not  un- 
like a  department  store,  with  the  salesmen 
and  customers  of  one  department  having  lit- 
tle knowledge  of  the  values  offered  by  other 
departments.  The  bigger  the  university,  the 
greater  the  confusion. 

One  of  the  items  that  the  grant  now  facili- 
tates is  the  engagement  of  a  professor  who 
is  at  home  in  the  sciences  as  well  as  the 
humanities.  Though  38  members  of  the  Fac- 
ulty, representing  18  departments  of  the  Uni- 
versity, have  had  a  hand  in  the  teacliing  of 
the  course,  few  have  had  enough  time  re- 
cently to  equip  themselves  to  discuss,  with 
sureness,  matters  outside  their  own  fields. 

In  communication  with  Dr.  Carmichael, 
the  University  has  been  seeking  for  some 
time,  a  man  who  is  particularly  suited  to  the 
questions  of  integrations  in  the  sciences  and 
their  relation  to  the  humanities.  They  have 
finally  engaged  Dr.  Irving  I'olonoff,  whom 
Professor  Charles  liendel.  Chairman  of  the 
Philosophy  Department  of  Yale  University, 
cliaracterized  as  a  "natural"  for  this  position. 
"It  is  rare,"  wrote  Profcs.sor  Mendel,  "to 
have  a  call  for  a  man  with  precisely  these 
qualifications."  Dr.  Polonoff  trained  at  Mc- 
(;ill,  Edinburgh  and  Vale  after  having  stud- 
ied science  at  Sir  George  Williams  College 


and  having  done  technical  work  in  science. 
Dr.  Polonoff  has  continued  his  applied  sci- 
ence while  taking  his  doctorate  in  the  history 
and  pliilosophy  of  science. 

So  that  other  members  of  the  Faculty  may 
participate  more  fully  in  the  program,  a 
"Faculty  Seminar"  on  the  integrative  educa- 
tion is  being  planned  for  next  year.  This 
idea,  first  suggested  by  a  few  faculty  mem- 
bers, is  fully  encouraged  by  Dr.  Carmichael 
and  is  vital  to  the  success  of  the  project. 
With  four  semesters  in  which  to  cover  the 
ground,  there  will  be  a  greater  need  and  op- 
portunity for  members  of  all  Departments  to 
present  the  concepts,  problems,  and  methods 
of  their  fields. 

In  order  that  Bucknell  Alumni  may  have  a 
clearer  picture  of  what  the  University  is 
attempting  to  do  in  the  field  of  integrative 
education,  the  Administration  is  hopeful  of 
being  able  to  arrange  a  demonstration  of  a 
University  Course  lecture  during  Homecom- 
ing Weekend  on  October  16,  17  and  18.  The 
idea,  as  now  tentatively  planned,  is  to  have 
Professors  Garvin,  Martin,  and  Warren  con-  . 
duct  a  class  for  Alumni  on  Friday  evening, 
October  16. 

Meanwhile,  the  directors  of  the  University 
Course  have  been  compiling  what  is  believed 
to  be  the  first  textbook  on  the  subject  of 
integrative  education.  Considerable  time  and 
energy  have  been  put  into  this  by-project, 
and  it  is  hoped  that  negotiations  will  soon  be 
completed  for  the  publication  of  the  book. 
Such  a  textbook  would  bring  added  prestige 
to  the  University,  since  it  unquestionably 
would  be  used  by  many  universities  through- 
out the  country. 

Dedicated  as  they  are  to  the  University 
Course,  Professors  Garvin,  Martin,  and  War- 
ren undoubtedly  would  have  abandoned  their 
idea  long  ago,  had  it  not  been  for  the  con- 
stant encouragement  they  received  from  lead- 
ers in  the  field  of  education.  In  1949  the 
University  Course  was  given  a  -citation  by 
the  Foundation  for  Integrated  Education, 
and  since  the  beginning  of  the  program,  the 
course  has  received  considerable  praise  from 
'  outstanding  educators   at   other  universities. 

Most  of  these  educators  spoke  from  first- 
hand knowledge,  since  a  feature  of  the  pro- 
gram is  the  engagement  of  visiting  lecturers 
to  assist  in  the  course. 

After  his  experience  as  a  lecturer  for  and 
observer  of  the  University  Course,  Profes- 
sor Henry  Margenau  of  the  Sloane  Physics 
Laboratory  of  Yale  University,  said  :  "Your 
(University  Course)  plan  has  .  .  .  solid- 
ity, consistency,  and  wholeness  .  .  .  Any- 
thing so  well  conceived  must  not  fail." 

Professor  Elisco  Vivas  of  Northwestern 
University  has  written :  "What  seems  to  me 
most  impressive  about  the  document  (ex- 
plaining the  basis  of  the  program)  is  its 
depth  and  maturity — and  both  arc  qualities 
notorious  for  their  absence  in  contemporary  .^^ 
teaching    .    .    ." 

Perliaps  the  finest  tribute  of  all  came  from 
Professor  W.  H.  Werkineistcr,  Philosopher 
of  Science  at  the  University  of  Nebraska, 
who  .said  :  "My  visit  to  Bucknell  has  strong- 
ly reinforced  my  conviction  that  our  small 
institutions  of  higher  learning  have  a  great 
deal  to  give  their  students  which  the  large 
universities  do  not  provide  ...  If  Buck- 
nell can  carry  through  (the  expanded  pro- 
gram of  the  University  Course),  liucknell  is 
sure  to  make  educational  history.  The  Uni- 
versity Course  (program)  should  become  a 
model  for  oilier  inslilulions."

Greetings  rrom  tne 

NeT\^  Alumni  Presiaent 

Alumni  Weekend  at  Bucknell  hrought  forth  anew  corfs  of  officers 
to  reflace  the  most  efficient  retiring  ones.  As  the  new  President  of  the  General 
Alumni  Association,  I  am  well  aware  that  following  in  the  stefs  of  such  ex- 
cellent fredecessors  as  have  held  this  office  %vill  he  a  tremendous  task.  I  hofe 
I  may  measure  uf  in  a  small  degree  to  the  efficiency  they  displayed.  I  shall  need 
helf  from  all  of  you.  With  your  assistance  lue  can  keef  Bucknell's  fine  Alumni 
Spirit  going  and  growing. 

The  Commencement  luncheon,  with  over  WOO  present,  xvas  an  inspiring 
sight.  The  Alumni  Fund,  higger  than  ever  with  help  from  the  fathers  and  more 
and  more  alumni  giving,  is  a  healthy  sign  for  Bucknell.  The  Alumni  Service 
Award,  the  democratic  process  of  electing  our  Alumni  Trustees,  are  steps  in 
the  progress  of  Bucknell.  Dr.  Hildreth,  Buck  Shott,  Ray  Irwin  and  others 
share  in  the  credit  for  all  of  these  luith  a  deep  how  to  Ken  Slifer  for  his  fine 
work  as  President  of  the  Alumni  Association  for  the  past  two  years. 

Ken  has  a  lot  of  advantages  on  me.  fust  to  mention  a  few,  he  is  a  whole 
foot  taller,  weighs  ahout  fifty  pounds  more  than  I  and  he  doesn't  wear  dresses. 
Sooooo,  if  1  am  going  to  succeed  a  great  guy  such  as  Ken  I'd  appreciate  it  very 
much  if  you'll  help  me  in  these  specific  ways: 

1 .  Talk  Bucknell!  Let  everyone  know  what  a  grand  place  it  is  so  they  will 
xvant  to  send  their  children  and  their  friends'  children  to  Bucknell.  Let  your 
local  high  school  know  you  are  glad  to  tell  prospective  students  ahout  Bucknell. 

2.  Attend  Alumni  Cluh  meetings  and  if  there  is  none,  form  one,  he  it  near 
or  far  from  Bucknell.    Do  your  share  to  keep  these  meetings  interesting. 

3.  Give  to  the  Alumni  Fund  as  you  give  to  the  Red  Cross,  the  Boy  Scouts 
and  Community  Chest.  The  Spirit  of  Giving  to  Bucknell  is  the  important  thing. 
It's  a  good  habit. 

4.  Visit  Bucknell  when  you  can,  on  Alumni  Day  in  June,  at  Homecoming 
or  any  time.   It  makes  that  Bucknell  Spirit  closer  and  dearer. 

Let's  make  a  few  Alumni  touchdowns  in  these  things.  It  will  he  fun  doing 
it  and  Bucknell  memories  will  keep  you  younger.  So  let's  go  Alumni.  Re- 
memher  it's 

"On  Bisons  down  the  field,  it's  Bucknell  today"  and  everyday  in  the  life  of 

a  true  Bucknellian. 

Thank  you.    I'm  grateful.

Mathieson  '20  Named  Fund  Chairman 

Announcement  was  made  at  Homecoming  Weekend  by  Mrs.  Emily  Devine  Kelly 
that  Andrew  R.  Mathieson  '20  had  accepted  appointment  as  chairman  of  the  Bucknell 
Alumni  Fund  Committee. 

Andy  becomes  the  third  chairman  of  the  fund  since  its  establishment  in  1948 
when  Kenneth  W.  Slifer  '26  became  the  first  fund  committee  chairman.  After  three 
years  service  John  Worth  '37  became  chairman  and  served  until  the  appointment  of 
Andy  Mathieson. 


Andrew  R.  Mathieson  '20 

Long  an  ardent  worker  in  University  and  alumni  affairs,  Andy  brings  to  his  new 
position  a  successful  record  of  achievement  in  many  industrial  and  charitable  enter- 
prises. Since  his  student  days  he  has  distinguished  himself  by  service  to  the  University 
through  alumni  local  club  activities  in  Youngstown,  New  York  and  Pittsburgh.  Follow- 
ing a  distinguished  athletic  career  in  basketball,  track  and  tennis  it  was  only  natural  that 
Andy  should  become  an  active  worker  in  the  Bucknell  Athletic  Council  on  which  he 
served  as  a  member  and  as  president  of  the  group,  resigning  the  later  position  upon 
his  election  as  an  alumni  member  of  the  Bucknell  Board  of  Trustees  for  a  five-year 
term  in  1944.  His  "sabbatical"  from  the  Board  of  Trustees  was  relatively  short,  how- 
ever, for  he  was  again  elected  as  a  board  member  in  December  1951  and  upon  the 
death  of  Dr.  S.  Dale  Spotts  '18  was  made  chairman  of  the  important  Committee  on 
Alumni  Relations.    He  also  serves  on  the  committees  of  Instruction  and  Public  Relations. 

A  pioneer  worker  in  the  Alumni  Fund  Program  at  Bucknell  he  has  declared  his 
intention  of  bringing  the  financial  needs  of  the  University  before  every  alumnus  to 
encourage  regular  annual  giving  to  the  fund  on  the  "living"  endowment  principle. 

His  service  to  community  organizations  is  as  distinguished  as  his  record  of  alumni 
activities.  He  served  for  the  last  three  years  as  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of 
the  Pittsburgh  Chapter  of  the  American  Red  Cross,  is  presently  chairman  of  Eastern 
Area  Advisory  Committee  American  Red  Cross,  member  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of 
the  Hospital  Service  Association  of  Pittsburgh,  and  trustee  of  the  Si.xth  Presbyterian 
Church  of  Pittsburgh. 

His  business  career  with  United  States  Steel  Corporation  began  immediately  after 
graduation.  After  serving  in  the  Youngstown  and  Homestead  district  plants  of  Car- 
negie Steel  Company,  he  became  Personnel  Director  of  the  company  in  1927.  In  1934 
he  was  advanced  to  assistant  to  the  Vice-President— Industrial  Relations,  United  States 
Steel  Corporation,  New  York,  and  upon  the  formation  of  the  United  States  Steel 
Corporation  of  Delaware  in  1938,  he  returned  to  Pittsburgh  in  a  similar  capacity.  He 
was  made  Salary  Administration  Supervisor  of  the  Delaware  Corporation  in  1942  and 
was  elected  President  and  Treasurer  of  the  United  States  Steel  and  Carnegie  Pension 
Fund,  which  administers  the  pensions  and  insurance  plans  for  employees  of  United 
States  Steel  Corporation  and  subsidiaries,  in  May   1950. 

He  married  Margaret  Wray  in  1924.  Their  sor.  Andrew  Wray  Mathieson  earned 
his  bachelor's  degree  from  Bucknell  in  1950  and  his  master's  degree  in  industrial 
administration  at  Carnegie  Institute  of  Technology.  "Drew",  as  he  was  named  on  the

HOMECOMING 


BUCKXELL'S  football  loss  to  Temple, 
27-21,  failed  to  dampen  the  spirit  of  the 
Homecoming  fans  in  their  enjoj^ble  re- 
unions with  old  friends  and  classmates. 

The  first  feature  of  the  weekend  was  the 
Homecoming  parade  held  Saturday  morning 
on  the  streets  of  Lewisburg.  The  parade,  in 
addition  to  sorority  and  fraternity  floats. 
presented  visiting  bands,  local  floats,  and 
officials  of  various  organizations.

as  Bucknell  and  Temple  were  meeting  in 
an  atmosphere  of  friendship  and  good 
will."  He  introduced  Dr.  William  Toni- 
linson.  vice  president  of  Temple,  who

The  Doctors  Met 

IV/rORE  tlian  40  Bucknell  Alumni  and  their 
•^'-'-  wives  attended  a  $50-a-pIate  dinner  at 
the  Otzinachson  County  Club  in  Milton  on 
Friday  evening,  Oct.  16,  and  thereby  contrib- 
uted $3,700  to  the  University's  eft'ort  to  re- 
model its  Biology  Building,  Taylor  Hall. 

The  Medical  Alumni  also  voted  to  make 
the  affair  an  annual  one  as  a  means  of  pro- 
viding regular  support  to  the  Biology  De- 
partment, and  to  form  an  organization  to 
assist  the  University  in  other  ways. 

The  dinner  was  planned  by  Dr.  William 
F.  Darkes  '27,  of  Orwigsburg,  Pa.,  who 
served  as  Toastmaster  and  Chairman  of  the 
afifair.  In  suggesting  that  the  Medical  Alum- 
ni of  the  University  form  an  organization. 
Dr.  Darkes  pointed  out  that  the  University 
needed  their  support  in  ways  other  than 
monetary  in  sui'h  problems  as  curricula,  the 
planning  of  buildings  and  laboratories,  and 
the  placement  of  graduates. 

And  the  Lawyers  Too 

TX/rORE  than  100  Alumni,  undergraduates

sion. 


SPORTS 


Buckiiell's  1953  football  season  has  been 
anything  but  pleasant  for  most  interested  ob- 
servers. One  win  and  eight  straight  defeats 
are  reminiscent  of  the  1948  season. 

But  though  the  record  is  poor,  the  team 
itself  has  not  been  that  bad.  Only  two  op- 
ponents really  outclassed  the  Bisons — Holy 
Cross  and  Delaware.  The  other  games  could 
have  gone  either  way,  but  unfortunately, 
didn't. 

Every  college  has  its  ups  and  downs  so  far 
as  football  is  concerned,  and  this  year  has 
been  a  real  downer.  But  it  w-ill  not  take  too 
much  to  have  a  better  season  next  year  ( two 
wins,  to  be  exact).  And  next  year  should  be 
an  improvement,  for  our  sophomore  backs 
have  had  a  bit  of  experience,  and  a  few  boys 
up  from  the  freshman  team  should  help. 

The  Herd  opened  1953  in  fine  style,  easily 
overpowering  Buffalo,  35-6.  The  next  week, 
an  aroused  Muhlenberg  upset  the  Bisons,  18- 
13.  Then  the  Lawrencemen  flew  to  Holy 
Cross  to  absorb  a  40-0  lacing  at  the  hands  of 
the  Crusaders.  This  game  really  illustrated 
our  poor  pass  defense. 

The  fourth  game  was  the  Homecoming  af- 
fair with  Temple.  It  was  a  thrilling  contest, 
but  the  Owls'  passing  proved  our  undoing, 
27-21.  Next  came  a  greatly  improved 
Lafayette  which  edged  the  Herd,  7-6,  in  a 
contest  which  should  have  been  Bucknell's. 
Lehigh  took  to  the  air  in  the  sixth  contest  to 
down  the  Bisons,  20-6.  Colgate  used  the 
same  offensive  pattern  to  beat  Bucknell,  19- 
12  in  a  hard-played  ball  game.  Gettysburg's 
undersized  speedsters  and  a  splendid  quarter- 
back named  Gagliardi  gave  us  the  business, 
26-13,  and  then  Delaware  completed  the  sea- 
son with  a  34-13  thumping  a  la  aerials. 


Basketball  Prospects 
Look  Brighter 

Basketball  practice  has  begun  in  full  swing 
and  Coach  Ben  Kribbs  is  hopefully  preparing 
his  hard-working  regulars  for  their  20-game 
schedule  which  opens  Dec.  5  against  Lehigh 
University. 

Five  members  of  last  year's  varsity,  three 
of  them  starters,  are  returning  along  with  a 
crop  of  newcomers  up  from  last  year's  fresh- 
man team. 

It  seems  safe  to  predict  that  the  Herd  will 
at  least  equal  and  probably  better  last  year's 
unsensational  3-16  record.  But  the  real  key 
to  the  future  lies  with  this  year's  fresliman 
team  which  is  known  to  possess  talent  that 
can  be  developed. 

We  don't  mean  to  write  this  year  off  as 
"nothing  from  nowhere"  for  tlie  varsity  will 
be  capable  of  pulling  off  a  few  surprises  of 
its  own.  Jim  Poff,  of  Wilkes-Barre,  our 
leading  ball  player  last  year  until  injured 
early  in  the  season,  has  had  an  operation  on 
his  knee  and  appears  fit  once  again. 

Another  senior  is  Barry  Parker,  of  Mt. 
Holly,  N.  J.,  who  led  the  team  in  scoring 
last  year.  'Two  steady  juniors  are  Dick 
Bradway  and  Herb  Cox,  both  of  Pittsburgh. 
Dick  Johnson,  a  junior  from  Plainfield,  N.  J., 
rounds  out  the  five  returnees. 

Two  sophomores  who  should  aid  the  regu- 
lars and  maybe  unseat  two  of  them  are  Dick 
Guttermuth,  of  Nortlt  Bergen,  N.  J.,  and 
Ted  Groom,  of  Arlington,  Va.,  die  latter  a 

6-5  stringbean.

Tennis  Conference 

Bucknell  was  the  scene  of  the  First  Middle 
Atlantic  Collegiate  Athletic  Conference  ten- 
nis championships,  Oct.  22,  23  and  24. 
Swarthmore  swept  to  victory  with  Lehigh 
finishing  second  and  Bucknell  third  in  the 
eleven  team  tourney. 

The  tournament  was  held  in  the  fall  rath- 


er than  next  spring  because  of  scheduling 
difficulties,  and  was  hailed  by  all  in  atten- 
dance as  a  splendid  success.  A  great  deal  of 
credit  should  go  to  Tennis  Coach  Hank  Pe- 
ters for  his  work  as  tournament  director. 
The  entire  program  was  well  organized  and 
functioned  efficiently. 

Swarthmore,  Lehigh  and  Bucknell  dom- 
inated the  early  matches  in  both  singles  and 
doubles,  but  the  invaders  from  Philadelphia 
had  too  much  all-around  class  for  the  Engi- 
neers and  the  Bisons.  Their  two  singles  en- 
tries met  in  the  finals  and  their  doubles  team 
defeated  Lehigh  for  the  championship  in  that 
bracket. 

Bucknell  entered  Al  Holton,  senior  from 
Pelham  Manor,  N.  Y.,  and  Jack  Laird,  jun- 
ior from  Short  Hills,  N.  J.  Holton  got  to 
the  semi-finals  before  being  dropped  by 
Parker  Hall  of  Swarthmore,  6-1,  6-3.  Tim 
Coss,  who  won  the  singles  title,  dumped 
Laird  in  the  quarter  finals,  6-1,  6-0. 


ACTION  UNDER  THE  BOARDS— Bucknell's  Jim 
Poff  (number  se\en)  and  Barry  Parker  (number 
ten)  ward  off  Juniata's  defenders  as  tliey  prepare 
to  leap  for  the  ball.  Tliough  this  photograph 
was  taken  last  season,  Poff  and  Parker  should  be 
the  mainstays  of  this  year's  team.

guests  gathered  for  luncheon  at  Washington,

time  of  the  annual  birthday  celebration  in

GRANDMA  COULSTON   '83 

Mrs.  Angelette  Tilden  Coulston,  known  to 
almost  everyone  in  Lancaster,  Texas,  as 
Grandma  Coulston,  died  there  on  Tuesday, 
September  IS,  one  week  after  celebrating  her 
91st  birthday. 

Mrs.  Coulston,  the  last  surviving  member 
of  the  Institute  Qass  of  1883  was  active  until 
shortly  before  her  death,  taking  an  interest 
in  civic,  religious  and  political  affairs.  She 
was  an  active  alumnae  correspondent  of 
THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS  and  eager- 
ly awaited  the  football  results. 

Mrs.  Coulston  was  born  in  1862  in  Steuben 
County,  New  York,  the  daughter  of  Alanson 
Tilden,  an  Army  chaplain  who  offered  the 
prayer  at  Abraham  Lincoln's  funeral.  In  1883 
she  married  William  J.  Coulston  of  the  Col- 
lege Class  of  1883  and  followed  a  busy  life 
as  wife  of  a  Baptist  minister  until  his  death 
in  1938. 

She  is  survived  by  two  daughters,  two 
sons,  six  grandchildren  and  six  great-grand- 
children. 


Library  Receives 
Thacher  Manuscripts 

The  first  two  items  in  a  proposed  collec- 
tion of  original  works  by  Bucknell  Univer- 
sity Alumni  were  donated  to  the  Ellen  Clarke 
Bertrand  Library  by  Russell  L.  Thacher,  Jr., 
a  member  of  the  Class  of  1941. 

Mr.  Thatcher,  an  associate  editor  of  Omni- 
book  Magazine,  sent  the  original  manuscripts 
of  two  recent  novels.  The  Captain  and  The 
Tender  Age,  pubHshed  in  1951  and  1952,  re- 
spectively, by  The  MacMillan  Company.  The 
former  deals  with  life  on  an  LST  and  the 
latter  with  the  problems  of  a  17-year-old. 
Both  books  were  well  received  by  critics  and 
public  alike. 

The  Captain,  Mr.  Thatcher's  first  novel, 
was  somewhat  autobiographical  in  nature 
since  after  graduation  from  Bucknell,  he 
spent  five  years  in  the  U.  S.  Navy  as  the 
Commander  of  an  LST. 

At  Bucknell,  Mr.  Thatcher  was  a  Dean's 
List  student  and  editor  of  L'AgeiuSa.  He  is 
currently  living  at  Ridgewood,  N.  J.,  where 
he  and  his  wife  cope  with  small  sons,  Mi- 
chael and  Christopher  between  books.

Dr.  Blake  Dies 

It  is  with  a  sense  of  great  loss  that  we 
announce  the  sudden  and  unexpected  death, 
on  October  2,  of  Dr.  Wainwright  Donald 
Blake,  associate  professor  of  psychology  at 
Bucknell  since  1945.  Professor  Blake  was  a 
graduate  of  St.  Lawrence  University  and 
qualified  for  the  doctorate  at  the  University 
of  Missouri. 

In  recent  years  he  had  become  interested 
in  the  psychology  of  adults  and  old  age  and 
had  done  extensive  research  on  this  subject. 
At  the  time  of  his  death  he  was  at  work 
preparing  a  report  based  on  a  survey  made 
among  members  of  the  Emeritus  Club  of 
Bucknell  during  the  alumni  weekend  of  1953. 

A  frequent  contributor  to  journals  in  his 
field.  Dr.  Blake  was  thoroughly  respected  by 
his  colleagues.  His  life  was  honest  and  up- 
right in  all  respects.  A  kindly,  gentle,  ge- 
nially humorous  man,  he  will  be  greatly 
missed. 

The  sympathy  of  the  University  and  his 
former  students  is  extended  to  Mrs.  Blake, 
who  has  taken  an  active  part  in  campus  and 
community  affairs  as  well  as  to  Mary  and 
Robert,  students  at  the  University,  and  Don- 
ald, now  studying  in  Stockholm. 


Prepayment  Plan 

Bucknell's  Prepayment  Plan  has 
been  in  effect  for  15  years  and  is 
considered  to  be  a  desirable  way  for 
families  of  young  Bucknellians  to 
prepare  years  in  advance  for  the  fu- 
ture college  expenses  of  their  sons 
and  daughters.  The  advantages  of 
avoiding  a  concentrated  four-year 
financial  burden  are  obvious.  If  you 
wish  to  study  the  Prepayment  Plan, 
the  Alumni  Office  will  be  glad  to  send 
you  a  full  description  of  how  it  oper- 
ates upon  your  request. 


Doc  Hoskins  111 

Alumni  who  were  on  the  campus  at  the 
turn  of  the  century  will  be  sorry  to  learn 
of  the  illness  of  George  (Doc)  Hoskins, 
former  football  coach. 

Doc  Hoskins,  who  is  89,  is  reported  in 
serious  condition  at  the  General  Hospital, 
Cincinnati  suffering  from  pneumonia  and  a 
heart  condition. 

He  was  a  coach  of  the  Bucknell  football 
teams  from  1899  to  1906.  His  teams  won  45 
games,  lost  35  with  five  ties.  Until  his  re- 
tirement IS  years  ago  he  was  a  trainer  for 
the  Cincinnati   Reds  baseball  team. 


Lambda  Chi  Alpha 
Cornerstone  Laid 

During  Homecoming  Weekend  almost  300 
members  of  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  Fraternity 
attended  the  cornerstone  laying  for  the  new 
stone  house  being  constructed  on  the  cam- 
pus. The  new  house  is  located  opposite  the 
Ellen  Clarke  Bertrand  Library  and  is  ex- 
pected to  be  ready  for  occupancy  soon  after 
the  first  of  the  year. 

The  new  home  will  accommodate  34  stu- 
dents and  there  will  be  dining  room  facilities 
for  about  70.  Malcolm  dinger  '26  drew 
the  plans  for  the  structure. 

Dr.  Daniel  A.  Poling,  member  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees  of  the  University,  editor, 
novelist  and  leader  in  religious  and  civic 
movements,  was  the  principal  speaker  at 
the  dinner  held  on  the  evening  of  Home- 
coming. Harry  B.  Weaver  '14,  first  presi- 
dent of  the  Lambda  Clii  Alpha  Chapter, 
acted  as  toastmaster  at  the  dinner,  which 
was  arranged  by  Si  Morgan  '21. 

DECEMBER     1958 


Bucknell  Alumni  Census  of  1953 

Editor's  Xote — This  is  the  fifth  of  a  series  being  published  in  The  Bucknell  Alumnus 
to  show  the  geographic  distribution  of  Bucknell  Alumni.  The  present  article  reports  the 
census  of  1953. 

The  accompanying  map  shows  the  state-by-state  distribution  of  the  15,303  former  stu- 
dents of  Bucknell  Universitj-  with  known  addresses.  The  count  was  made  in  October  1953 
and  includes  the  graduates  of  Tune  of  tliis  year.  The  state  list  shown  under  the  map 
includes  the  comparable  census  for  October  1952.  About  10%  of  our  Bucknellians  move 
each  year  and  tell  Alumni  Headquarters  of  their  new  address.  Another  5%  move  and 
leave  no  forwarding  address.  Experience  shows  that  about  250  copies  of  this  issue  of  The 
Bucknell  Alumxus  will  be  returned  to  Alumni  Headquarters  as  undeliverable.  We  can 
improve  that  position  by  being  sure  to  tell  Alumni  Headquarters  when  and  where  we  move 
and  inform  the  office  about  Bucknellians  who  move  into  our  local  community.  The  post 
office  department  does  a  splendid  job  of  notifying  us  about  changes  of  address  that  they 
have  received,  but  a  sizeable  amount  of  tax  money  could  be  saved  if  everyone  notified  our 
office  of  a  change  of  address  BEFORE  moving.

New  Faculty  Members 

We  welcome  to  the  faculty  of  Bucknell 
the  following  new  members  appointed  by 
Dr.  William  H.  Coleman,  vice  president  of 
the  college.  In  addition,  two  former  Buck- 
nell teachers  returned  to  the  faculty  after 
several  years  in  industrial  posts. 

To  assist  in  the  teaching  of  the  Univer- 
sity Course  which  has  been  expanded  through 
a  grant  from  the  Carnegie  Corporation,  Dr. 
Coleman  named  Dr.  Irving  I.  Polonoff 
who  will  serve  as  lecturer  in  the  philosophy 
of  science. 

A  native  of  Canada,  Dr.  Polonoff  was  ed- 
ucated at  Sir  George  Williams  College  and 
McGill  University,  in  Montreal,  and  at  Yale 
University.  Since  receiving  his  doctor's  de- 
gree at  Yale,  he  has  held  important  techni- 
cal positions  with  Canadian  and  U.  S.  firms. 

Dr.  Merritt  C.  Oelke  of  the  University 
of  Illinois  was  appointed  assistant  professor 
of  education.  A  graduate  of  the  University 
of  Houston  and  of  the  University  of  Illi- 
nois, Dr.  Oelke  has  had  teaching  experience 
at  both  of  these  universities.

WHAT  IS  THE  ALUMNI   FUND? 

The  plan  for  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  is  simple.  Alumni  dues  and 
magazine  subscriptions  have  been  discontinued.  Every  alumnus  and  friend 
of  Bucknell  is  invited  to  contribute  annually  to  the  University  for  current 
operotions.  Each  person  contributing,  no  matter  what  the  amount,  will  be 
listed  as  a  donor  in  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS. 

The  amount  contributed  to  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  alone  this  past 
year  equals  the  return  on  more  than  half  a  million  dollars  of  invested  en- 
dowment. By  their  increasing  support  of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund,  alumni 
and  friends  can  make  it  more  and  more  a  substantial  "living  endowment." 


In  addition  to  the  Fund  contri- 
butions, members  of  the  class 
contributed  to  the  Capital 
Funds  of  the  University  a  total 
of  $25.00.

A  letter  from  Nellie  Goddard  Stein- 
hilper  in  reply  tf)  a  ro:qucst  for  news 
shows  that  Nell  still  retains  her  youth- 
ful humility.  The  announcement  of 
the  death  of  her  kind  husband,  Anthony 
Steinhilpcr  '05,  came  as  a  surprise.  All 
members  of  the  class  express  to  her 
their  sympathy.  The  letter  in  Nell's 
exact  words  follows: 

A«  you  know.  Tony  and  I  were  married  In  1007

Ian!  October, 


When  my  husband  was  ready  to  retire  we  bought 
a  big,  old-fashioned  house  in  Hackettstown.  A 
pretty  little  town,  beautifully  situated  in  the  hills 
of  Northern  New  Jersey,  that  we  have  enjoyed  for 
the  beautiful  scenery  and  the  friendly  people. 

Tony's  health  had  not  been  good  for  some  time 
and  just  a  year  ago  (September  10,  1952)  he  passed 
away.  He  did  nothing  spectacular,  achieved  no 
fame,  wrote  no  booics.  acquired  no  great  wealth, 
but  it  has  been  heart-warming  to  receive  from  his 
associates  in  business,  in  civic  worlc  and  the  church 
so  many  expressions  of  respect  and  affection  for 
one  who  "died  justly,  loved  mercy,  and  walked  hum- 
bly with  his  God." 

As  for  me.  I  expect  to  keep  on  living  here  where 
we  made  so  many  friends.  I  should  like  to  get  up  to 
Bucknell  sometime.  We  often  spoke  of  it  and  vaguely 
hoped  to  be  there  for  our  fiftieth,  but  it  was  not  so 
to  be. 

A  note  came  from  John  B.  Smiley  at 

the  time  he  was  about  to  go  to  the  sea- 
shore for  a  vacation.  His  statement 
that  he  always  tries  to  come  back  to 
Lewisburg  at  least  once  a  year  puts 
to  shame  some  who  live  within  a  few 
miles.  He  says  that  when  he  is  in 
Lewisburg  he  spends  a  few  hours  on 
the  campus  and  reviews  the  pictures 
of  earlier  years  that  hang  pleasantly  on 
memory's  wall.  He  mentioned  the  in- 
spiration he  received  by  gazing  at  the 
entrance  gates,  the  Class  Memorial  of 
the  Class  of  1905. 

John  C,  Sanders,  one  of  the  success- 
ful ministers  of  the  class,  is  too  modest 
to  tell  about  his  achievements.  For- 
tunately, he  sent  three  recent  church 
bulletins  to  inform  his  classmates  of 
his  present  status. 

A  pamphlet  concerning  the  minutes 
of  the  last  session  of  the  Synodical 
Council  of  the  Mercersburg  Synod  con- 
tains this  information: 

"Rev.  John  C.  Sanders,  living  in  suburban  Cham- 
bersburg.  Pa.,  who  was  made  Pastor  Emeritus  by  his 
last  parish,  after  serving  it  for  26  years,  was  re- 
elected as  the  Secretary  of  the  Mercersburg  Synod 
of  the  Evangelical  and  Reformed  Church  at  its  re- 
cent meeting." 

Requests  for  news  are  being  an- 
swered very  slowly.

1955.    Keep  that  savings  account  active.

The  Rev.  Havard  Griffith  died  in  Har- 
risburg,  September  10  at  the  age  of  74. 
Havard,  who  attended  Bucknell  Acade- 
my before  graduation  from  the  college 
and  later  earned  his  master's  degree  in 
1910  at  Bucknell,  was  trained  for  the 
ministry  at  Rochester  Theological  Sem- 
inary. He  had  been  a  preacher  in  the 
Baptist  denomination  since  1900  serv- 
ing churches  at  Port  Alleghany, 
Geneva,  N,  Y.;  Monongahela,  Newark, 
O.,  and  Bradford  before  serving  the 
First  Baptist  Church  of  Harrisburg. 

Rev.  Griffith  is  survived  by  his  wife, 
the  former  Pearl  Etnoyer  of  High  Spire, 
a  daughter,  Mrs.  O.  Jack  Elliott  (Mary 
Elizabeth  Griffith  '41),  a  son,  Havard, 
Jr.  '40. 

Rev.  George  A.  Riggs  spoke  to  the 
Missionary  Society  of  the  First  Baptist 
Church  of  Sunbury  about  his  mission 
work  in  Puerto  Rico.  He  previously  had 
been  in  Cuba,  then  was  sent  to  Puerto 
Rico  to  build  chapels.

A  memorandum — Saturday,  June  12, 
1954,  the  45th  reunion  of  the  Class  of 
1909  (University  and  Seminary). 
Whclhcc  you  have  never,  scklom,  or  of- 
ten been  back  on  the  c;)mpus  o!  our 
alma  mater,  you  should  let  nothing, 
short  of  utter  inability,  keep  you  from 
returning     next    June,     Come     every- 

17 


body,  once  more,  to  our  beloved  campus 
on  June  12,  1954.  Send  a  letter  to  your 
reporter — name  and  address  above — 
saying  you  are  planning  to  answer 
"present"  at  1909  roll  call  on  that  day. 
A  year  ago  Dr.  J.  Earle  Edwards  and 
his  wife  came  to  St.  Petersburg,  Fla., 
to  live.  They  reside  at  1111— 26th  Ave- 
nue, S.,  where  they  are  eager  to  wel- 
come all  their  friends.  Many  of  us  re- 
member him  as  he  entered  Bucknell 
with  our  class  and  appears  with  us  in 
the  1909  L'Agenda.  He  was  obliged 
to  drop  out  of  our  class  because  of  ill- 
ness and  was  gi'aduated  with  the  Class 
of  1910. 

It  is  rumored  that  Charles  E.  Hilbish 
has  resigned  as  superintendent  of 
Northumberland  County  schools  to 
take  effect  June  1954.  At  that  time  he 
will  have  completed  20  years  in  this 
capacity— said  to  be  the  longest  term 
in  this  office  in  the  history  of  North- 
umberland County  — 5  four-year  con- 
secutive terms.  Is  this  correct,  Charles? 
Anyhow,  send  us  a  sketch  of  all  this  in 
more  detail,  please. 

George  Bailets  and  wife  Ruth  again 
left  St.  Petersburg  last  summer  for  four 
months.  They  spent  a  month  in  New 
York  and  New  Jersey  and  three  months 
in  Sunbury,  with  his  93  year-old 
mother. 

Howard  and  Sarah  Walters  Headland 
also  spent  from  July  to  September  in 
Pennsylvania  and  western  New  York. 
Whenever  they  are  in  these  localities 
they  aim  to  see  as  many  of  Sarah's 
classmates  as  they  can.  This  year  was 
not  very  satisfying.  They  stopped  m 
Lock  Haven  to  have  a  word  with  Matt 
Haggerty  and  Olive,  but  found  them — 
not  at  home.  In  Reynoldsville,  Amy 
Bollinger  entertained  them  with  a  de- 
licious lunch.  Then  Amy  and  Sarah 
spent  most  of  the  afternoon  talkmg  of 
days  gone  by.  On  the  campus  Guy 
Payne  and  his  wife  were  busy  as  usual 
in  the  College  Inn. 

lola  Quandt  writes  that  last  August 
she  and  four  others  had  a  mighty  fine 
vacation  in  Sequoia  National  Par  k  , 
Calif.  With  the  altitude  over  6.000  feet, 
they  were  not  hiking  much.  Her  ac- 
count of  their  skirmishes  with  a  bear 
which  was  after  their  food,  and,  in- 
deed, one  day,  got  milk,  sandwiches, 
and  cookies,  was  exciting. 

Your  reporter  would  like  to  hear 
from  all  of  her  classmates  and  especial- 
ly from  Margaret  Curtin,  Richard  Dar- 
lington, Dr.  Herman  G.  Difenderfer, 
Bertha  Eaches,  and  Harry  Eakley. 
News  of  these  people  has  never  ap- 
peared, as  far  as  we  know,  in  this  mag- 
azine. 

CLASS  OF  1912 

Class  Reporter:    MRS.  H.  W.  HODSEKNECHT 

{Maze  Callahan) 

108  W.  Penn  St.,  Muncy.  Pa. 

Here  it  is  time  for  my  report,  due 
Monday,  November  9th.  The  last  time 
I  was  a  couple  of  days  late  so  "Buck" 
declared  it  a  "hang-over"  and  published 
it  in  the  "little  paper  rag"  (Ed.  Note: 
If  more  alumni  contributed  to  the 
Alumni  Fund  the  "little  paper  rag" 
could  be  a  magazine)  the  next  month. 
I  didn't  care  because  I  felt  the  reunion 
guys  should  have  first  place.  Do  you 
know  Buck  is  getting  mean  (Ed.  Note; 
Correction,  please,  meaner)  just  like 
Frank  Davis— "Don't  do  this" — "Don't 
do  that." 

Dr  Howard  Johnson,  the  eighth  pas- 
tor of  North  Frankford  Baptist  Church 
of  Philadelphia,  closed  his  pastorate  on 
his  nth  anniversary  June  30.  He  is  a 
graduate    of    Bucknell,    Columbia,    and 

18 


North  Dakota  Universities  and  of 
Crozer  Theological  Seminary.  He  is  a 
past  president  of  the  Frankford  Minis- 
terium,  a  vice  president  of  the  Baptist 
Union  of  Philadelphia  and  vicinity.  He 
is  a  member  of  Phi  Delta  Kappa,  edu- 
cational fraternity,  Tau  Chapter  of  U. 
of  P.  He  has  served  Baptist  pastorates, 
led  conferences  in  summer  youth  pro- 
grams, and  has  taught  college.  Howard 
is  now  residing  at  Forked  River,  a  lake 
resort  of  N.  J.  He  will  be  engaged  in 
writing  and  part  time  public  speaking. 
Well,  Pat  Schrieber  has  retired  and 
Howard  Johnson  semi-retired.  That 
just  makes  me  think.  Did  you  ever  hear 
of  a  housewife  retiring?  If  so,  let  me 
know.  Today's  housewife  is  a  combina- 
tion cook,  vacuum  pilot,  purchasing 
agent,  business  manager,  interior  deco- 
rator, seamstress,  hostess  and  public 
relations  counsel  for  the  entire  family 
with  a  little  washing,  ironing,  dusting, 
dish  washing,  window  washing,  and 
baby  sitting  thrown  in. 

Pop  thought  he  had  to  retire  last 
March  but  on  account  of  his  "youthful 
appearance"  the  company  gave  him  an 
extension  of  one  year.  When  he  does 
retire  I  am  going  to  have  a  separate 
cage  built  for  him  because  I  just  can't 
stand  a  man  hanging  around  my  kitch- 
en, opening  the  refrigerator,  lifting  the 
lids  off  my  cooking  utensils,  in  other 
words  sticking  his  nose  in  my  business. 
If  this  plan  doesn't  work  out  I'll  either 
apply  for  admission  to  the  old  ladies' 
home  or  hire  a  maid. 

Last  year  a  grandmothers'  day  was 
set  aside  in  October.  This  year  I  didn't 
hear  nor  see  a  word  about  it.  Anyway, 
the  smart  modern  grandmother  doesn't 
hid  the  fact  that  she  has  grandchildren 
— she  advertises  it.  She  buys  herself  a 
"grandmother  bracelet,"  with  each  new 
addition  to  the  family  she  adds  a  charm; 
a  heart  for  a  girl,  a  circle  for  a  boy. 
Baby's  name  is  engraved  on  one  side  of 
the  disc,  the  birth  date  on  the  other. 
There  are  also  grandmother  books 
which  are  quite  charming.  Now  all 
you  kids  who  have  children  see  that 
"granny"  gets  either  a  book  or  a 
bracelet. 

By  the  way  I've  already  asked  Santa 
to  bring  me  a  rocking  chair.  Not  that 
I'm  an  "old  rockin'  chair  granny"  be- 
cause I'm  still  in  the  "lovable  sixties," 
but  when  I  reach  the  "sensible  seven- 
ties" as  Hal  Boyle  says,  I  want  to  be 
prepared. 

Dave  McNeal  is  still  pulling  them  in 
for  drunken  driving.  The  other  day  I 
saw  in  the  paper  that  he  had  hauled 
someone  in  for  knife  throwing.  You 
know  Dave  is  Justice  of  the  Peace  at 
Towanda. 

Had  a  card  from  Bruce  Butt  '16  say- 
ing that  he  enjoyed  my  column.  I  wish 
the  1912ers  would  write  their  approval 
or  disapproval. 

Now  a  prayer  for  Thanksgiving! 

"Thank  Thee.  God,  for  love  that  crowds  each  day. 
And  thank  Thee,  too,  for  simple  things  we  find 

along  the  way. 
For  little  children  romping  'round. 
For  bird  song,  gay  and  happy  sound. 

Through  sun  and  rain. 
For  friends  to  greet,  loved  ones  near. 
For  songs  to  share,  perchance  a  tear. 
For  strength  to  work,  for  gift  to  play. 
For  fireside  at  the  c'ose  of  day 

And  candlelight  again! 
Thank  Thee,  God,  for  all  the  lovely,  simple  things 
That  each  dav  brings- 

— Eleanor  Frey." 

I  am  passing  on  to  all  of  you  a  Christ- 
mas wish  that  Howard  Johnson  sent  to 
me  last  year; 

A  GREETING  AND  A  WISH 
"This  is  my  Christmas  greeting  and  wish  for  you. 
It  has  no  value  in  the  market  and  no  great  art  in 
the  making.    But  if  it  will  mean  to  your  heart  what 


it  means  to  mine  at  this  Yuletide  season,  there  will 
be  in  it  a  worth  above  money  value  and  a  beauty 
that  art  alone  never  gives. 

I  earnestly  wish  that  every  good  thing  brought 
into  life  by  Christ  may  be  yours;  that  you  may  have 
a  heart  of  cheer,  a  spirit  of  hope  and  a  life  of  ser- 
vice every  day  in  1954," 

From  all  the  Houseknechts  a  Happy 
Christmas  Season  and  kindly  include  in 
your  New  Year's  resolutions  that  you 
will  send  me  some  news. 

In  the  words  of  Tiny  Tim,  God  Bless 
You.

Registering  in  Carnegie  Building  on 
Homecoming  Day  at  11  a.  m.,  I  found 
no  other  '13ers  names  on  the  board. 
Later,  after  the  luncheon,  I  saw  Berke- 
ley Hastings  and  chatted  for  a  few  sec- 
onds with  him. 

Marian  Fischler  left  the  teaching  pro- 
fession about  five  years  ago  and  is  now 
living  restfully  among  hometown  ac- 
quaintances and  friends  in  her  home 
town  of  Wellsboro.  In  her  town  on  a 
business  trip  I  spent  an  enjoyable  half 
hour  with  her  recalling  names  and 
characteristics  of  classmates,  including 
facts  about  our  reunion  of  which 
Marian  was  happy  to  hear.  For  a  time 
she  was  not  in  desired  good  health,  but 
she  has  recovered  remarkably  well  and 
hopes  to  be  with  us  for  our  next  re- 
union. Sorry  to  say  I  did  not  immedi- 
ately recognize  her  at  the  door,  but 
when  she  spoke  and  smiled  I  felt  as  if 
I  should  have.  Her  address  is  18  Kelsey 
St. 

Karlton  Hooker  has  retired  from  his 
position  with  the  Bell  Telephone  Co.  of 
Pennsylvania  at  Reading,  where  he  was 
district  plant  superintendent.  He  and 
his  wife  spent  the  month  of  October 
with  his  son  and  family  in  Minnesota. 
There  the  three  grandchildren,  fishing 
and  hunting  chiefly  occupied  Carl's 
time.  Another  son,  Joseph  F.  Hooker 
'42,  who  attended  Bucknell  for  a  time, 
gave  his  life  in  World  War  II.  Because 
of  Mrs.  Hooker's  hospitalization  last 
June,  (iaii  was  unable  to  attend  our 
40th  reunion.  His  address  is  17  E.  36th 
St.,  Reiffton,  Reading. 

A  new  honor  has  come  the  way  of 
Harry  X.  Kelly.  His  latest  promotion 
makes  him  president  of  Mississippi 
Shipping  Co.,  Inc.  of  New  Orleans.  "The 
Class  and  the  University  extends  best 
wishes  to  Harry  on  his  latest  achieve- 
ment. 

At  the  chapel  exercises  on  October 
28  our  Rev.  Dr.  George  Middleton  was 
the  speaker.  Changed  but  little  in  ap- 
pearance after  all  the  years  since  grad- 
uation, he  was  typically  George,  bril- 
liant in  his  address  as  we  remember 
him  on  the  hill.  His  topic  "Seeing  What 
Isn't  There"  held  to  close  attention  the 
packed  audience  in  Beaver  Memorial 
Methodist  Church.  After  the  service, 
Harold  Shaffer  and  this  reporter  proud- 
ly shook  George's  hand,  met  Mrs.  Mid- 
dleton and  their  son,  Lee,  now  a  sopho- 
more at  Bucknell.  It  was  an  unforget- 
table hour  indeed.  As  mentioned  in  a 
recent  ALUMNUS,  George  is  pastor  of 
the  Calvary  Baptist  Church,  Rochester, 
N.  Y.,  in  his  thirty-second  year  of  ser- 
vice there. 

Admission  of  distress — six  letters 
mailed  recently  with  Questions  inviting 
news  for  the  ALUMNUS.  One  has  been 
returned  to  date.  Shall  your  reporter 
shed  tears  alone,  or  will  some  other 
classmates  join  him  in  his  sorrow?  A 
class  reporter's  inail  slot  in  the  door 
awaits  some  letters  evermore!

First,  a  reminder  to  mark  June  12, 
1954,  on  your  calendar.  Let's  all  plan 
a  successful  fortieth  reunion.  At  our 
thirty-fifth  reunion,  Edna  Whittam 
Glover  was  named  chairman  of  ar- 
rangements. She  will  need  our  co- 
operation to  make  this  event  an  out- 
standing success. 

Norman  W.  Whited,  1104  Fairview 
Ave.,  South  Pasadena,  Calif.,  writes 
that  since  1945  he  has  been  structural 
engineer  in  the  bridge  and  structural 
department  of  the  city  of  Los  Angeles. 
Norman  received  an  LL.B.  from  George 
Washington  University  in  1935.  During 
World  War  I,  Norman  served  in  the 
A.  E,  F.  as  a  1st.  Lieut,  in  the  Fiftieth 
Artillery.  During  World  War  II,  as  a 
Colonel,  he  had  charge  of  construction 
with  ordnance  plants  in  Alabama, 
Mississippi,  and  Louisiana  and  served 
in  the  European  theater  with  the  com- 
bat engineers.

Dr.  Rudolph  Peterson,  who's  scholar- 
ly influence  touched  the  lives  of  thou- 
sands of  Bucknell  students  in  his  22 
years  on  the  faculty,  died  on  July  29 
after  a  lengthy  illness.  His  retirement 
was  repcrted  in  the  September  1952 
issue  of  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS 
(p.  16)  and  his  death  was  reported  in 
the  October  1953  issue  of  THE  BUCK-

No  news  of  1918  for  several  months? 
I  just  cannot  use  my  imagination  to 
that  degree.  So  come  on  fellow  class- 
mates, send  me  some  items  of  interest. 
Summer  is  past  and  we  are  enjoying 
the  first  snow  of  the  season! 

One  faithful,  and  interested  member 
of  the  class  has  written  me.  He  is 
Alem  P.  Hull,  Jr.,  of  Montgomery.  Alem 
operates  Hull's  Electric  Center  in  Mont- 
gomery and  is  president  of  the  Mont- 
gomery Water  Co.  He  is  a  "sea-going 
man"  who  for  a  number  of  years  has 
spent  his  summers  cruising  on  the 
Chesapeake  Bay  with  a  U.  S.  Coast 
Guard  unit.  Young  Alem  at  20  is  an 
officer  of  the  U.  S.  Coast  Guard  sta- 
tioned at  Baltimore,  Md.,  and  expects 
to  attend  college  at  the  expiration  of 
his  enlistment.  Sons,  Marshall  and 
James  are  attending  Montgomery  High 
School. 

Won't  you  please  come  to  my  rescue 
and  send  me  news  of  yourself  and  any 
members  of  the  class  with  whom  you 
come  in  contact.     I  am  counting  on  you.

The  Bucknell  community  was 
shocked  by  a  tragedy  that  took  the  life 
of  two  county  residents  on  September 
5.  Guy  R,  Erdley  '31,  husband  of  the 
former  Jennie  E.  Stackhouse,  was 
killed  when  a  tractor  he  was  driving 
plunged  into  an  abandoned  quarry.  Guy, 
a  well  known  local  farmer  was  assist- 
ing in  a  hunt  for  Wallace  Kreamer,  a 
maintenance  employee  at  the  Univer- 
sity, who  was  later  found  dead  of  a 
heart  attack  in  a  nearby  field.  When 
the  alarm  went  out  to  search  for  Krea- 
mer late  Saturday  night  Mr.  Erdley 
proceeded  to  search  on  his  tractor  using 
the  headlights  to  light  the  area.  The 
University  extends  heartfelt  sympa- 
thies to  the  families.

Have  you  ever — oh,  I'm  sure  you 
have — looked  and  looked  for  mail  that 
never — no  never — did  appear.  Then 
you  know  just  how  I'm  feeling  after 
having  sent  out  30  cards  to  1927'ers 
with  replies,  to  date,  from  THREE, 
Have  the  other  27  been  consignee!  to 
the  waste  basket,  pigeoned-holed  in 
some  desk — or,  worse  yet,  been  lost  in 
the  mail?  Or  perhaps  your  thoughts 
coincide  with  this  particular  classmate 
who  writes,  "Perhaps  everyone  is  like 
me — so  swallowed  up  in  mediocrity 
that  we  feel  we  have  nothing  to  add- 
in  middle  age  we  become  lethargic.  My 
life  is  so  routine  that  it  is  bound  to  be 
dull.  Rise  at  6:15  a.  m.,  pack  lunches, 
make  beds,  tear  off  to  teach  school,  put 
in  a  hard  day,  return  to  the  domicile, 
go  through  the  ritual  of  dinner  dishes, 
catch  up  on  the  evening  news,  check 
the  bedding-down  of  offspring,  and  drop 
into  bed.  Now  see,  there  is  absolutely 
no  newsprint  in  my  history." 

Agreed — we  can't  all  be  Julius  La 
Rosa,  but  we  do  all  of  us  have  26  years 
of  living  behind  us  that  the  rest  of  us 
would  like  to  know  about — so  drop  me 
a  line,  even  if  you're  running  a  freight 
elevator  and  have  recently  been  fired 
because  vou  can't  remember  the  route. 
We   difl    hear  that—

Please,  I  beg  of  you — don't  leave  my

Remember — June  12, 1954 

Homecoming  may  not  have  provided 
the  most  satisfactory  game  as  far  as 
Bucknell  was  concerned,  but  it  was  a 
very  successful  day  for  the  members  of 
the  Class  of  '29  who  returned  and 
joined  us  in  the  morning  meeting  or 
the  luncheon  at  the  gymnasium. 

"Turk"  Jones,  Jessie  Fielding  Eyster, 
Charles  Kalp,  Martha  VonNeida  Water- 
bury,  Clyde  and  Dorothy  Lemon  Bail- 
ey, Kenneth  Bidlack,  Allen  Rarig,  and 
"Vic"  Meyer  all  showed  and  were 
really  pepped  up  for  our  Silver  Re- 
union next  June.  Of  course,  President 
Paul  and  your  reporter  were  there. 

The  letters  and  cards  which  have 
come  in  response  to  Paul's  recent  letter 
have  shown  the  true  "Spirit  of  '29." 
From  Houston,  Texas,  Helen  Myerly 
Loman  writes  that  she  is  enthusiastic 
about  our  reunion  and  is  still  a  loyal 
Bucknellian  although  she  transferred 
and  was  graduated  from  Penn  State! 

Horace  "Hop"  Sheppard  is  now  liv- 
ing in  Pompton  Lakes,  N.  J.,  and  says 
that  we  can  count  on  him  to  contact 
the  other  '29ers  in  northern  New 
Jersey. 

Dr.  Herbert  Smith,  Needham,  Mass., 
hopes  that  his  clerical  duties  will  per- 
mit his  being  with  us  in  June. 

Bill  Mahood,  who  is  living  in  Califor- 
nia, says  he  will  definitely  be  on  hand 
as  he  has  been  planning  the  trip  for  the 
last  five  years. 

Remember  Bucky  Harris?  Our  dis- 
tinguished member  is  now  a  doctor  on 
the  staff  of  the  Rumbaugh  Clinic  at 
Kingston,  and  sends  word  that  he  will 
see  us  on  June  12. 

Ken  Rounsley,  who  has  had  a  dis- 
tinguished career  with  the  Nav.y  and 
now  with  the  Army  engineers,  is  al- 
ready planning  to  get  away  from  his 
duties  to  join  us. 

And  again  we  hear  from  Calif!  Dick 
Nicholson,  who  is  living  in  Palo  Alto, 
hopes  to  get  back  after  25  ,years.  Why 
not  charter  a  plane  for  '29-ers  from 
Calif?     "Bucknell,  here  I  come," 

Gene  Klinger,  whoso  sons  are  attend- 
ing Amherst  and  Tufts  College,  has 
promised  that  he  will  bring  the  two 
younger  boys  along  next  June,  as  he 
expects  that  at  least  one  of  them  will 
come  to  Bucknell, 

So,  we  are  hearing  from  our  class- 
mates from  far  and  wide,  from  North 
to  .South,  Ea.st  to  West,  Why  not  sit 
down  now  and  write  Paul  or  Charlie 
f)r  your  gal  reporter?     And  do  not  for-

"Pakistan  at  the  Crossroads"  is  the 
title  of  an  interesting  article  in  The 
Christian  Century  of  October  7  written 
by  our  Dr.  George  L.  Abernethy. 
George,  who  is  a  professor  of  psychol- 
ogy at  Davidson  College,  was  awarded 
a  fellowship  at  Columbia  by  the  Ford 
Foundation  and  last  year  studied  com- 
parative religion,  the  Middle  East  and 
Pakistan.  For  a  clearer  understanding 
of  the  political,  economic  and  religious 
backgrounds  of  Pakistan's  problems 
we  recommend  George's  article.

At  the  beach  at  Eagles  Mere  Lake 
this  summer  was  a  beautiful  cream- 
colored  roadster  and  driving  it  Charlie 
Bidelspacher  in  sporty  suit  and  glasses, 
in  for  a  weekend  with  Marge,  his 
daughter  Ann  and  twin  sons.  Later  at 
a  dance  that  evening  daughter  Ann 
walked  off  with  a  trophy  for  the  Lake 
Swim.  (She  achieves  a  perfect  swan 
dive).  She  departed,  leaving  the  trophy 
with  her  mother.  Marge.  Charlie  looked 
at  Marge  holding  the  trophy.  "Marge," 
he  said,  "you  look  like  a  champion." 
And  she  did  —  the  mother  of  a  fine 
family. 

One  of  my  best  friends  in  college  was 
Julia  Hoffman  Beighley  who  is  now 
very  active  in  cominunity  affairs.  Her 
husband.  Fay  Beighley  '34,  is  assistant 
general  manager  of  the  Williamsport 
division  of  Bethlehem  Steel  and  an  ac- 
tive member  of  the  Rotary  Club.  Julia's 
sense  of  values,  frankness,  and  lack  of 
pretense  have  always  endeared  her  to 
me.  She  is  proud  of  Fay;  Frances,  16 
(nicknamed  "Peachy");  Julie,  12;  and 
Putter,  their  pug  dog. 

Another  former  Williamsporter, 
Margaret  Huling  who  married  Robert 
Wilson  '35,  is  living  at  338  East  5th 
Ave.,  Warren.  Robert  is  supervisor  of 
the  Sylvania  plant  in  Warren.  The 
Wilsons  have  five  children;  Marjorie, 
19,  is  majoring  in  physical  education 
and  science  at  Slippery  Rock  Teachers 
College;  Bobby,  a  freshman  at  Lycom- 
ing College;  Dick,  12,  and  the  twins 
Donald  and  Douglas  are  8.  Margaret, 
an  excellent  student  in  mathematics, 
seems  to  have  no  difficulty  in  keeping 
shirts,  socks,  birthdays,  and  problems 
concerning  five   children   in   hand. 

Linda  Lutz,  small  daughter  of  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Martin  Lutz  (Peggy  Garret 
'36),  modeled  in  the  October  fashion 
show  sponsored  by  the  Daughters  of 
the  American  Revolution.  Linda  Lutz — 
quite  a  euphonious  name. 

John  G.  Mathews  is  still  with  the 
MacMillan  Co.  and  lives  from  Septem- 
ber 1  to  mid  June  at  138  Woodside  Vil- 
lage, Stamford,  Conn.  The  rest  of  the 
time  he  and  his  wife  Mildred  are  on 
board  their  cruiser  and  likely  to  be 
anywhere  in  Long  Island  Sound.  The 
class  of  1933  is  glad  to  claim  that  cruis- 
er, Johnnie! 

Recently  Muriel  Marshall  Miller 
walked  off  the  next  to  the  bottom  step 
of  her  cellar  steps  at  her  home  and  cut 
her  arm  in  fourteen  places  with  a 
broken  glass  bottle  losing  a  newly 
canned  bottle  of  peaches.  Who  said 
these  college  girls  aren't  homemakers? 
And  with  homemaking  she  combines 
creative  music.  You  should  have  heard 
her    last    December    play    an    original

Walking  down  the  main  street  in 
Bloomsburg,  I  spied  Jane  Williams  in  a 
passing  car.  I  rushed  into  the  street. 
The  car  stopped  for  a  red  light,  she 
waved.  The  light  changed.  I  heard 
her  call,  "we're  moving  from  Nanticoke 
to  Pittsburgh."  Hadn't  seen  her  in 
twenty  years.  She  looked  the  same, 
which  was  always  pretty  good.

June  12,  1954  is  the  big  day,  Alumni 
Day  and  our  20th  Reunion.  Plan  your 
vacations  or  leaves  so  you  may  see  the

and  have  a  bang-up  time  too.  Bring 
your  wives,  husban(is,  sweethearts  and 
youngsters.  Let  them  share  the  fun 
and  thrills  you'll  get  renewing  acquain- 
tances and  reliving  the  joys  of  college 
days  at  America's  most  beautiful  cam- 
pus. Maybe  you've  been  back  as  I 
have  then  I  needn't  tell  you  how  won- 
derful it  still  is  but  if  you  haven't 
you're  missing  a  great  deal  and  so  are 
your  loved  ones.  Last  June  I  had  a 
wonderful  time  at  Bill's  20th  seeing 
those  friends  we  both  had  in  the  Class 
of  '33,  meeting  their  families  and  in- 
troducing our  children  to  the  campus, 
now  we're  waiting  and  hoping  that 
enough  of  it  seeped  in  so  when  they  are 
ready  for  college  it  will  be  Bucknell. 
Eddie  Myers,  our  genial  class  prexy,  is 
busy  planning  along  with  Buck  Shott 
so  our  20th  will  be  The  Reunion. 

Hope  you've  missed  our  class  news 
enough  to  write  even  if  only  to  bawl 
me  out.  Seems  tho,  I  was  ill  and  spent 
some  time  in  the  hospital  and  altho  I 
can't  show  you  my  scars  was  unable 
to  write  the  "begging  for  news  letters" 
that  class  reporters  do.

of  Christ  (Federated)  in  Warner,  N.  H., 
the  town  Life  selected  as  New  En-

on    March    10    to    join    Vince,    12,    and 


Cheryl  Lynn,  8.  Vince  taught  school 
for  5  years  then  attended  Colgate- 
Rochester  Seminary  for  3  years,  then 
18  months  in  Ohio  with  the  Baptist 
Home  Mission  Board;  three  years  as 
minister  to  the  Baptist  students,  ci- 
vilian protestant  chaplain  to  the  V-12 
unit  and  minister  of  the  Oberlin,  Ohio 
Baptist  Church.  Then  nearly  five  years 
in  Pittsburgh  before  New  Hampshire. 
He  and  his  wife  Frannie  have  enjoyed 
every  moment  of  it.  Made  me  think 
when  he  recalled  how  we  used  to  sit 
and  listen  to  Dr.  Karraker  lecture  on 
"Imperialism  and  World  Politics."  Lit- 
tle did  we  realize  in  our  ivory  tower 
then  how  important  a  part  it  would 
play  in  our  lives. 

Guess  that's  all  for  now.  If  any  feel 
noble  and  would  like  to  volunteer  to 
make  our  20th  reunion  the  best  ever 
please  let  Eddie  Myers  know  pronto. 
Incidentally  don't  feel  you  have  to  be 
a  huge  success  to  write  to  me.  Most 
of  us  have  been  plugging  away  and 
leading  average  lives;  but  wouldn't  it 
be  consolation  to  read  about  each 
other?  I'm  just  a  housewife  with  two 
live  wire  youngsters — busy  with  P.  T. 
A.,  Girl  Scouts,  teaching  Sunday  school, 
absorbing  culture  at  Woman's  Club  and 
A.  A.  U.  W.  and  counting  silver  threads 
among  the  gold.  Bill  and  I  traveled 
to  Easton  with  some  friends  to  see  the 
Lafayette  game  and  I  must  confess  I 
saw  only  old-timers  or  undergrads.  How 
about  more  of  us  in-betweeners  sup- 
porting our  fine  coach  and  his  team. 
We  can't  always  win  but  with  more 
alumni  at  games  we  could  cheer  them 
along.

DADS  vs.  GRADS 


Pictured  above  is  what  seems  to  be  a  private  tussle  between  Al 
Fenton  and  Buck  Shott.  Such  is  not  the  case!  This  is  a  BIG  fight 
— and  YOU  are  in  it.  Actually,  the  picture  symbolizes  a  contest  being 
waged  between  the  Bucknell  University  Fathers'  Association  and  the 
Bucknell  Alumni  Fund.  Al,  secretary  of  the  Fathers'  Association, 
and  Buck,  director  of  the  Alumni  Fund,  are  just  standing  in  for 
their  respective  organizations. 

The  hassle  really  started  last  fund  year  when  the  Bucknell  Dads 
made  a  threat  to  build  the  Fathers'  Loyalty  Fund  to  a  higher  dollar 
total  than  the  total  amount  of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund.  With  some 
2200  Fathers  competing  against  15,000  Alumni,  it  looked  for  a  time 
as  though  the  Dads  would  turn  the  trick.  However,  the  Alumni  pulled 
away  approaching  the  wire  and  came  up  with  a  final  $21,000  against 
$13,000  for  the  Dads. 

Thereupon,  the  Dads  decided  to  issue  a  formal  challenge  to  the 
Grads  and  offered  the  trophy  to  the  fund  which  shows  the  greater 
improvement  in  1953-54.  The  most  equitable  basis  for  this  compe- 
tition seemed  to  be  the  percentage  of  improvement  in  participation 
between  the  two  funds. 

The  trophy  has  been  donated  by  John  D.  Knies  of  Bethlehem, 
vice  president  of  the  Fathers'  Association.  No  silver  loving  cup  this. 
A  unique  combination  of  cast  iron  pipe,  steel  flanges,  with  steel  rods 
for  handles,  this  25-lb.  steel  grey  pot  must  be  added  to  the  awards 
owned  by  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund,  say  the  Alumni.  The  Dads  are 
just  as  sure  the  trophy  will  be  added  to  their  loot. 

Based  on  results  to  December  31,  the  mid-point  in  the  fund 
year,  786  Alumni  or  5.3%  have  enrolled  in  the  Alumni  Fund  effort 
compared  with  2.9%  at  the  same  point  last  year.  But  the  Dads  have 
likewise  improved  their  standing,  with  4.7%  enrolled  this  year  against 
3.1%  on  the  same  date  last  year. 

At  first  glance  it  looks  as  though  the  Alumni  stalwarts  are  leading 
by  a  comfortable  margin.  But  the  statisticians  are  quick  to  point  out 
that  the  Grads  are  playing  at  great  odds;  for  each  1%  increase  the 
Grads  must  find  about  150  nezv  givers  to  the  Alumni  Fund  while  the 
Dads  can  gain  1%  with  each  23  givers.  However,  the  Grads  have  a 
veritable  army  of  prospects  as  compared  with  the  Dads. 

From  now  until  June  30,  1954  Al  and  Buck  will  be  tugging  at 
opposite  handles  of  that  trophy  and  anghng  for  every  tactical  advan- 
tage they  can  muster  but  the  final  victory  lies  with  YOU  and  YOU 
and  YOU.  Says  Buck,  "Alumni  victory  is  assured  if  every  Bucknell 
guy  and  gal  who  gave  last  year  comes  through  again  and  if  everyone 
who  didn't  contribute  last  year  climbs  on  the  band-wagon  NOW."

Second  Century  Program  Aided  by 
Olin  Foundation  Gift 


At  a  special  convocation  in  the  Davis  Gymnasium  on 
Friday,  January  15,  the  University  and  community  were 
thrilled  with  the  electrifying  news  that  a  gift  from  the 
Olin  Foundation  of  $900,000  will  permit  the  early  con- 
struction of  a  new  science  building  to  house  the  depart- 
ments of  chemistry,  physics,  and  mathematics. 

The  new  structure  (architect's  drawing  at  top  of  page) 
will  be  built  of  brick  along  architectural  lines  similar  to 
the  other  main  buildings  on  the  campus.  Its  location 
will  be  on  College  Hill  directly  opposite  the  Engineering 
Building.  The  structure  will  contain  approximately 
600.000  cubic  feet. 

Dr.  Joseph  W.  Henderson,  acting  president  and  chair- 
man of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  in  accepting  the  gift  in 
the  name  of  the  University,  pointed  out  that  it  reflected 
great  credit  upon  the  quality  of  the  college  academic 
program. 

"Our  University  has  had  a  splendid  reputation  in  the 
.-.ciences  even  though  operating  without  the  modern  facili- 
ties which  this  grant  will  make  possible,"  he  declared. 

The  Olin  Foundation,  whose  headquarters  are  in 
.Minneapolis.  Minn.,  was  established  in  19.37  by  the  late 
I-'ranklin  W.  f)]\n,  well  known  chemical  manufacturer, 
a  graduate  of  Cornell  University.  A  native  of  Vermont, 
.Mr.  Olin  moved  to  the  middle  west  early  in  his  business 
'•areer,  where  he  started  building  powder  mills.  He 
ma.ssed  wealth,  and  when  in  his  eighties,  set  up  the 
foundation  bearing  his  name  to  "provide  a  program  to 
train  men  for  useful  living."  Ilc'  ordcrerl  that  none  of 
the  foundation's  money  be  used  for  jjropagaiida  ])ur])Oses, 
and  saifl  that  it  should  go  instead  only  to  cliarity  or  edu- 
ational  organizations. 

Dr.  Charles  ]..  Horn,  who  is  president  of  the  I'"ederal 
Cartridge  Corporation  as  well  as  being  president  of  the 
Olin  Foundation,  Inc.,  marie  the  jjresentation  at  the 
smrcial  convocation.  He  pointed  out  that  the  ff>unflatioii

Coleman  wrote  Mr.  Charles  L.  Horn,  president  of  the 
Olin  Foundation,  presenting  Bucknell's  need  for  a  modern 
science   building.      He   was    referred   to    Mr.   James    O.

Iliiekni'll  University. 

Wynn  of  New  York,  vice-president  of  the  Foundation. 
A  conference  with  Mr.  Wynn  followed.  Months  later 
Mr.  Wynn  visited  Jiuckneil  to  ins|)ei  t  our  .science  facili- 
ties. After  much  correspondence  and  several  conferences, 
I  he    I'oiindalion  decided  to  make  the  grant.     In  all,  the 

3 


negotiations  embraced  a  period  covering  a  year  and  seven 
months. 

Announcement  of  the  gift,  largest  single  contribu- 
tion ever  made  to  Bucknell,  came  at  a  special  convocation 
attended  by  more  than  2,000  students,  teachers  and  ad- 
ministrative leaders.  The  new  structure  will  include  a 
central  auditorium  seating  212  students,  numerous  labora- 
tories, classrooms,  offices  for  staff  members  and  work- 
shops. 

Of  the  foundation's  $900,000  gift,  $125,000  has  been 
allocated  for  the  purchase  of  new  equipment  to  supple- 
ment that  now  available. 

At  present  physics  classes  meet  in  the  basement  of 
East  College  and  in  a  temporary  annex ;  mathematics 
classes  are  held  in  the  Annex  of  105-year  old  Taylor 
Hall.      The   present   chemistry   building,   constructed    60 


years  ago,  is  no  longer  adequate   for  present-day  needs, 
Dean  Coleman  pointed  out. 

Dayton  L.  Ranck,  vice  president  and  treasurer,  told 
the  enthusiastic  audience  that  preliminary  plans  are  already 
well  under  way  by  J.  Frederick  Larson,  the  university 
architect.  Construction  will  begin  as  soon  as  possible, 
and  the  building  should  be  completed  for  use  in  Sep- 
tember,  1955. 

Friday's  meeting  was  a  surprise  convocation,  not 
announced  to  students  or  faculty  until  a  short  time  before 
it  took  place.  Persons  on  the  campus  said  it  was  the 
first  time  in  the  modern-day  history  of  Bucknell  that 
such  a  convocation  had  been  held. 

In  the  audience  were  1,850  students,  140  faculty  mem- 
bers and  administrative  leaders  along  with  wives  of  fac-

Progress  on  the  Second  Century  Program 


The  erection  of  the  F.  W.  Olin  Science  Building  will 
mark  the  halfway  point  in  the  University's  Development 
Program  for  Bucknell's  Second  Century.  The  first  item 
in  this  program  was  the  new  heating  plant,  which  was  put 
into  operation  in  1949.  The  second  project  in  the  pro- 
gram was  completed  in  1951,  with  the  erection  of  the 
Ellen  Clarke  Bertrand  Library. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  these  first  three  items  have 
been  obtained  from  three  difTerent  sources.  The  Heating 
Plant  was  made  possible  by  a  fund-raising  campaign 
which  produced  nearly  $800,000  from  thousands  of  Alum- 
ni  and    Friend ^   of   the    University.      The    Ellen    Clarke 


Dr.  Charles  L.  Horn,  president  of  the  Olin  Foundation,  Inc.,  announc- 
ing the  S900,000  gift  to  tlie  students  and  faculty  at  the  special  convocation 
on  January  I.^. 


Bertrand  Library  was  realized  through  the  generosity 
of  a  small  group  of  individuals,  notably  the  n, ember  of 
the  Board  of  Trustees  for  whom  the  building  is  named. 
The  F.  W.  Olin  Science  Building  has  come  from  a  private 
foundation  because  of  an  alert  Alumnus-Administration 
combine  that  had  the  LTniversity's  future  constantly  in 
mind. 

Of  the  six  items  originally  listed  as  the  goals  of  the 
Second  Century  Development  Program,  three  remain  to 
be  realized.  They  are  a  Chapel-Auditorium,  a  Social 
Science  building  and  additions  to  the  Men's  Gymnasium. 
How  and  when  these  buildings  are  obtained  will  depend 
in  large  measure  on  the  alertness  of  every  person  who  has 
ever  come  to  know  and  love  the  University.

In  the  meantime,  more  immediate  needs  face  the  Uni- 
versity. The  most  pressing  of  these  are  the  remodeling 
of  Taylor  Hall  and  the  erection  of  a  new  men's  dormi- 
tory. Taylor  Hall,  the  old  Academy  Building,  must  be 
completely  rebuilt.  Originally  this  job  was  estimated  at 
$200,000,  including  new  equipment.  A  quiet  efifort  has 
been  made  over  the  past  two  years  to  obtain  these  funds 
and  the  University  is  hopeful  of  being  able  to  start  work 
on  the  building  in  June,  despite  the  fact  that  the  price 
of  the  job  has  risen  by  $25,000. 

The  erection  of  a  new  men's  dormitory  has  been  the 
subject  of  a  great  deal  of  preliminary  planning  but  the 
decision  as  to  when  the  building  will  be  started  must  await 
the  completion  of  the  financing  plan. 

Preliminary  specifications  call  for  the  erection  of  a 
U-shaped  building  to  provide  dormitory  space  for  about 
225  men  students.  Adequate  lobby  and  lounge  space 
are  included  in  the  plans.  A  feature  of  the  building  will 
be  a  kitchen  and  cafeteria  suitable  for  providing  food 
service  to  the  occupants  of  the  dormitory. 

The  job  is  not  an  impossible  one,  but  neither  is  it 
easy.  And  more  dormitory  space  for  men  is  a  paramount 
need,  both  from  the  point  of  view  of  study  conditions 
and  from  the  point  of  view  of  comfort  and  convenience  of 
male  students.  Last  year  the  University  dormitories 
housed  559  men.  For  far  too  long  there  has  been  double 
occupancy  in  single  rooms.  The  atmosphere  generated 
by  present  crowded  conditions  is  not  conducive  to  schol- 
arship. 

These  are  difficult  problems,  but  the  same  applied  to 
the  heating  plant,  the  library  and  the  science  building. 
Bucknell  has  developed  too  much  momentum  to  stop  now. 


Merck  &  Company,  manufacturing  chemists  of  Rah- 
way,  N.  J.  and  Danville,  have  inaugurated  the  Merck 
Lecture  Series  at  Bucknell  which  began  February  11.  The 
seven  lectures  open  to  the  general  public,  will  be  slanted 
towards  Bucknell  students  and  personnel  of  the  Merck 
plant  at  Danville. 


Nineteen  pre-medical  students  of  Bucknell  University 
have  been  accepted  by  medical  schools  for  graduate  work 
next  fall.  Eight  of  the  students  will  attend  Temple 
Medical  School,  three  at  Jeft'erson  Medical  College,  and 
the  remaining  eight  will  attend  other  medical  schools  in 
the  United  States.

BOOR  SHELF 


WARFEL.  Harry  R.  '20,  Editor 

Letters  of  -Voii/i  Webster 

Xew  York :    Library  Publishers,  1953 

In  Xoah  Webster:  Seboohnaster  to  Aiiter- 
iea  (\936),  Professor  Warfel  established 
himself  as  an  authority  on  the  famous  lexi- 
cographer, and  in  this  selection  of  188  let- 
ters he  is  able  to  point  up  Webster's  place 
in  the  Post-Revolutionary  scene. 

Though  Webster  (1758-1S43)  is  justly 
known  primarily  as  a  dictionary-maker  and 
as  a  schoolmaster  to  America,  he  was  also 
a  vivid,  petulant  commentator  on  the  poli- 
tics, the  economics,  the  science,  and  the  re- 
ligion of  his  day.  In  1786  he  wrote  to 
George  Washington :  "I  must  write :  it  is  a 
happiness  I  cannot  sacrifice."  By  1843  Web- 
ster the  scholar  and  partisan  had  happily  and 
colorfully  written  numerous  books,  maga- 
zine and  newspaper  articles,  and  letters.  His 
wide  reading  made  him  a  full  man :  his  vanity 
and  choler  made  him  an  arrogant  writer. 
It  is  no  wonder  that  one  of  his  contem- 
poraries called  him  "the  critic  and  cock- 
comb-general  of  the  United  States." 

Included  in  Professor  Warfel's  edition  are 
open  and  private  letters  to  Madison.  Hamil- 
ton. Jefferson,  Franklin,  and  Daniel  Web- 
ster. A  rabid  Federalist,  Noah  Webster 
wrote  to  Jefferson  a  caustic  letter  reviewing 
the  first  six  months  of  Jefferson's  first  term. 
(Webster  elsewhere  convincingly  claims  that 
he  was  among  the  very  first  to  suggest  cer- 
tain doctrines  of  Federalism).  An  anti- 
British  nationalist,  Webster  wrote  a  series  of 
polemical  letters  to  Joseph  Priestley,  whose 
two  pamphlets  addressed  to  the  inhabitants 
of  Xorthumberland,  Pennsylvania  were  con- 
sidered by  Webster  to  be  anti-American  and 
anti-Federalist. 

The  letters  give  an  intimate  view  of  the 
difficulties  Xoah  Webster  had  to  overcome 
before  publishing,  in  1828,  Ait  American  Dic- 
tionary of  the  English  Language,  which  Pro- 
fessor Warfel  says  is  "the  first  monumental 
scholarly  work  completed  by  an  .'\merican 
citizen." 

In  his  informative  introduction.  Professor 
Warfel  puts  into  perspective  Webster's  con- 
tributions to  philology.  The  introduction 
might  well  have  made  clearer,  however,  that 
by  modern  standards  Webster  is  hardly  a 
linguistic  scientist.  For  example.  Webster 
believed  Cp.  48)  that  "Greek.  Latin,  English, 
and  other  European  languages  were  all  de- 
rived from  the  same  root,  the  Celtic" ;  and 
the  learned  man  was  not  always  aware  of 
the  best  philological  work  of  his  contem- 
poraries. He  nevertheless  was  surely  the 
best  lexicographer  of  his  time,  especially  in 
the  power  to  define  words. 

F'rofcssor  Warfel's  notes  to  the  letters  and 

.  the  names  mentioned  in  them  are  useful ; 
my  quick  test  of  the  accuracy  of  the  two  in- 
dices proved  successful.  His  text,  though  it 
slightly  mwlifies  the  original  documents,  is 
es.scntially  exact.  The  dedication  to  Profcs- 
■  T  I>co  L.  Rockwell,  his  "mentor  anrl  friend." 

of  course  appropriate. 

In  the  Letters,  Professor  Warfel  helps  the 

^dcr  to  know  Webster  licttcr  and  to  catch 

/mc  direct  glimpses  of  the  formative  years 
after  the  Revolution.

We  present  below  the  names,  pictures  and 
biographies  of  the  proposed  candidates. 
Early  in  April  ballots  will  be  mailed  to  all 
Alumni  whose  addresses  are  known  to  be 
correct.  The  return  envelope  will  be  a 
combination  mailer,  providing  for  the  re- 
turn of  the  ballot  and  a  contribution  to  the 
Alumni  Annual   Giving   Program  —  BUT 


YOU  DO  NOT  NEED  TO  CONTRIB- 
UTE TO  BE  ELIGIBLE  TO  VOTE. 
The  voter  will  open  the  envelope  at  an 
indicated  place,  mark  the  ballot,  insert  it 
in  the  envelope,  enclose  a  contribution  to 
the  Alumni  Annual  Giving  Fund — if  you

Alumni  Will  Vote  in  April 

On  Page  6  you  will  find  the  names,  pic- 
tures and  biographical  records  of  the  three 
candidates  chosen  to  stand  for  election  as 
Alumni  Trustee  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
Buclcnell  Universitj-.  One  is  to  be  elected 
by  the  general  alumni  body  in  April  for  a 
term  of  five  years. 

The  candidates  were  carefully  chosen  from 
a  larger  group  of  nominees  suggested  by  lo- 
cal alumni  clubs,  class  presidents,  class  re- 
porters, fund  managers,  members  of  the 
Board  of  Directors  and  the  Alumni  Fund 
Committee,  as  well  as  former  alumni  trustees 
and  former  presidents  of  the  General  Alumni 
Association.  \\"ell  over  500  alumni  were  can- 
vassed for  suggestions.  Furthermore,  each 
issue  of  THE  BUCKXELL  ALUMNUS 
carried  an  outline  of  the  procedure  for  nomi- 
nating a  candidate  by  petition. 

After  all  suggested  candidates  have  been 
listed  the  Alumni  OfBce  prepares  a  biograph- 
ical record  of  each  candidate.  These  records 
are  examined  and  discussed  by  the  nine-mem- 
ber Committee  for  the  Selection  of  Alumni 
Trustee  Candidates,  following  which  each 
committee  member  by  secret  ballot  records 
first,  second,  third,  fourth  and  fifth  choices. 
By  weighting  the  choices  on  all  ballots  the 
three  top  candidates  emerge.  The  candidates 
with  their  pictures  and  biographical  records, 
then  appear  in  the  March  issue  of  THE 
BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS,  and  in  April 
ever}'  alumnus  with  a  known  address  receives 
a  postage-free  ballot  for  voting.  After 
stud>nng  the  election  procedures  at  scores  of 
colleges,  a  committee  of  alumni  have  come 
to  the  conclusion  that  Bucknell's  plan  is  as 
democratic  as  it  can  possibly  be.  Believe  it 
or  not,  there  are  still  some  colleges  where 
the  alumni  board  selects  one  candidate  and 
submits  his  name  to  the  Trustees  for  ap- 
proval and  election ! 

Alumni  now  serving  on  the  Board  of 
Trustees  through  election  of  that  body,  but 
who  were  originally  nominated  for  member- 
ship by  the  General  Alumni  Association,  in- 
clude: Dr.  Harvey  F.  Smith  '94,  Robert  L. 
Rooke  '13,  Dr.  Mary  B.  Harris  '94,  Berkeley 
V.  Hastings  '13,  Dr.  Mary  M.  Wolfe  '96, 
William  R.  White  '26,  and  Andrew  R.  Math- 
ieson  '20. 

Alumni  now  serving  on  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees, on  nomination  by  the  General  Alumni 
Association,  arc  Clyde  P.  Bailey,  Esq.  '29

n956;;  Dr.  Emma  E.  Dillon  '15  (1957) 
and  Dr.  Roy  E.  Nicodcmus  '25  (1958).  His- 
tory has  supplied  ample  evidence  that  the 
members  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  from 
whatever  source  .selected,  serve  not  the  Trus- 
tees, nor  the  Alumni  Association,  but  the 
University,  which  is  as  it  should  be. 

Vou  arc  urged  to  exercise  your  prerogative 
to  vote  in  a  democratic  election  when  you 
receive  your  ballot  in  April.  Better  study 
those  biographical  records  now,  for  only  the 
names  and  pictures  of  the  candidates  can  be 
carried  on  the  ballot.  The  ballot  mailing 
will  \>c  a  "double-duty"  envelope  mailer,  pro- 
viding for  the  return  of  the  voter's  ballot 
and  a  contribution  to  the  Alumni  Annual- 
Giving  ['rogram  in  one  jKistage-frec  enve- 
I'/pc.  Alumni  do  not  need  to  contribute  to 
be  cligibl''  to  vote — this  combination  mailing

DR.  FRANKLIN  D.  JONES  '19,  D.Sc.  '46 


Dr.  Franklin  D.  Jones,  as  President  of  the 
Qass  of  1919,  is  leading  an  all-out  effort 
for  the  3Sth  Reunion  of  that  class  in  June. 
As  a  feature  of  this  Reunion,  a  "35-year 
later"  L'Agenda  is  being  assembled,  and  the 
best  contribution  that  1919  has  ever  made 
to  the  Alumni  Fund  is  coming  in. 

After  graduating  as  one  of  Doc.  Brown's 
chemical  engineers,  Franklin  worked  for  Al- 
lied Chemical  and  Dye,  New  Jersey  Zinc,  du- 
Pont,  Merck  and  Phillips  and  Jacobs.  In 
1938  he  organized  the  agricultural  chemical 
department  for  American  Chemical  Paint 
Co.,  manufacturing  agricultural  specialties. 
While  there  he  pioneered  the  use  of  2-4D  and 
similar  chemicals  as  weedkillers,  resulting  in 
basic  patents  here  and  abroad.  Nearly  a 
hundred  U.  S.  and  foreign  patents  on  weed- 
killers, plant  hormones,  insecticides  and  chem- 
ical processes  have  been  issued  to  him. 

In  1946,  at  the  centennial  commencement, 
Bucknell  conferred  the  degree  of  Doctor  of 
Science  on  him. 

Since  1947,  Dr.  Jones  has  been  a  consult- 
ing chemist.  Recently  he  was  appointed  to 
the  consulting  staff  of  General  Industries  In- 
corporated, an  engineering  firm  of  Philadel- 
phia. 

Franklin's  wife  is  the  former  Lillian  G. 
Butz,  a  Delaware  graduate.  They  have  two 
children,  Roger  F.,  a  chemical  engineer  with 
duPont  and  a  graduate  of  Haverford  Col- 
lege, and  Mary  Lou,  a  sophomore  at  Swarth- 
more.  Roger  is  so  good  a  fencer  that  he 
hopes  to  be  on  the  next  U.  S.  Olympic  Team, 
and  he  has  interested  his  father  into  the 
sport,  too. 

Besides  fencing,  Franklin's  hobbies  arc 
golf,  and  his  collection  of  boys'  books  by 
G.  A.  Henty. 

His  Henty  collection  contains  94  out  of 
the  95  books  that  the  noted  author  wrote  is 
probably  one  of  the  most  nearly  completed 
collections  of  his  works;  72  items  in  the 
collection  were  fir.st  editions.  Tin-  books 
represent  years  of  haunting  secoml  li:in.l 
bookstores  from  coast  to  coast. 

Another    hobby    is    his    armchair    garden, 

meaning  that  in  his  garden  he  has  a  shrul)  in 

flower  every  month  of  the  year,  such  as  the 

wifchhazcl  that  Buck  Shott  saw  in  February. 

Dr.    Jones    is    an    active    member    of    I'lii 


Trustee  Edward  M.  Greene 
95,  Dies 

Bucknell  University  lost  one  of  its  most 
faithful  workers  with  the  death  on  Tuesday, 
December  29  of  Edward  M.  Greene  of  the 
Class  of  1895. 

Mr.  Greene  was  for  31  years  an  active 
and  capable  trustee  and  patron  of  the  Uni- 
versity. A  lifetime  resident  of  Huntingdon 
County,  Pennsylvania,  he  died  after  a  brief 
illness  in  the  J.  C.  Blair  Memorial  Hospital, 
Huntingdon. 

He  was  the  third  generation  of  Greenes 
in  the  leather  tarming  business,  being  asso- 
ciated first  with  his  father  and  later  with  his 
brother  Raj'mond  in  the  tanning  industry. 
After  his  retirement  from  active  business  he 
spent  his  winters  in  Mission,  Texas  with  a 
son  and  a  sister  who  reside  there. 

A  frequent  visitor  to  the  campus  on  trustee 
business  and  for  class  reunions  he  maintained 
a  broad  interest  in  all  University  affairs.  Just 
a  few  days  before  his  death  he  attended  a 
Bucknell-Juniata  basketball  game  in  Hunt- 
ingdon. 

The  Greene  family  includes  many  Buck- 
nellians.  His  father,  Calvin  Greene  was  a 
patron  of  the  University  and  his  late  brother, 
Raymond,  was  a  member  of  the  Class  of 
1902.  His  sister,  Mrs.  Esther  Greene  Hamil- 
ton was  a  member  of  the  Institute  '96  class. 
Two  sisters  still  surviving  are  Mrs.  Ida 
Greene  Watson,  Mercedes,  Texas,  Institute 
'94,  and  Miss  Nora  Greene,  Lewistown,  Insti- 
tute '94.  Mr.  Greene  is  also  survived  by  two 
sons,  Edward  M.  Greene,  Jr.,  Greenwich, 
Conn.,  and  Waldo  W.  Greene,  Mission, 
Texas. 

In  1900  he  married  the  former  Caroline 
Wittenmyer  of  the  Bucknell  Institute  Class 
of  '91,  who  died  in  1942.  Other  relatives  of 
Mrs.  Greene  who  were  Bucknellians  include 
Mabel  Wittenmyer,  Institute  '94,  deceased. 
Bertha  Wittenmyer,  Institute  '92,  of  Harris- 
burg  and  Samuel  Wittenmyer,  Institute  '91 
of  Whitford. 

On  the  campus  Mr.  Greene  was  a  member 
of  Phi  Kappa  Psi  fraternity.  He  was  active 
in  the  First  Baptist  Church  of  Huntingdon 
throughout  his  life.  A  life  long  Republican, 
he  served  on  the  Republican  State  Committee 
as  Huntingdon  County's  representative  and 
during  World  War  I  served  as  Federal  Fuel 
Administrator  for  the  county. 

Bucknell  has  lost  a  faithful  servant  of  long 
standing.  The  University  extends  heartfelt 
sympathy  to  the  surviving  members  of  the 
Greene  family. 


iJr.  W.  H.  Sauvain,  acting  head  of  the 
education  department,  spoke  on  "Language 
Arts  in  the  Elementary  School"  at  a  Study 
Council  of  Allegheny  County  Tcaclicrs  and 
Administrators  at  Alfred  University  in  New

Basketball 

Bucknell  is  experiencing  a  none-too  excit- 
ing athletic  season  so  far  as  the  won-lost 
columns  are  concerned,  but  through  the  dark- 
ness comes  a  bright  ray  of  sunshine  in  the 
form  of  her  freshman  basketball  team  which 
at  this  writing  has  won  nine  of  its  first  ten 
games. 

The  yearling  five  is  regarded  by  local  fol- 
lowers as  one  of  the  best  seen  hereabouts  in 
recent  years,  and  their  record  seems  to  bear 
that  out.  On  four  occasions  they  liave  scored 
over  90  points,  and  against  Bloomsburg  State 
Teachers  College  Junior  Varsity,  they 
amassed  a  103-point  total. 

All  of  the  members  of  the  starting  five 
are  averaging  over  13  points  per  game,  and 
two  of  them  are  over  the  17  point  norm. 
They  are  not  exceptionally  rangy  except  for 
Center  John  Beatty  who  extends  6-5  up- 
wards. But  they  are  fast,  unusually  good 
shots  and  as  spirited  and  scrappy  a  crew 
as  any  coach  would  want. 

Leading  the  scoring  parade  is  Jumpin 
Joe  Baccelli  of  Niagara  Falls,  N.  Y.,  who 
has  scored  175  points  thus  far  for  a  17.5 
average.  Joe's  best  night  came  against 
Bloomsburg  when  he  scored  28.  Right  be- 
hind him  is  John  Beatty  of  Charleroi,  who 
is  averaging  17.1  points.  His  best  single 
game  effort  came  against  Lycoming  College 
Junior  Varsity  when  he  hit  for  25. 

Third  highest,  but  perhaps  the  steadiest 
performer  is  Mike  Corrigan  of  Kutztown, 
who  averages  15.8  per  game  but  has  never 
scored  less  than  11  points  in  any  single  con- 
test this  year.  Next  is  Norm  Voorhees  of 
Meadville,  who   has   scored    137   points   and 


who  seems  to  be  improving  steadily  as  the 
season  rolls  along.  He  garnered  25  as  the 
Junior  Herd  trampled  Penn  State's  Little 
Lions,  88-63.  IVIarty  Tannenbaum  of  Hack- 
ensack,  N.  J.,  boasts  a  13.1  average.  He 
popped  in  23  markers  early  in  the  year 
against  Lycoming  for  his  best  single  game 
effort. 

This  aggregation  has  come  along  rapidly 
under  the  direction  of  Coach  Bill  Lane,  and 
varsity  mentor  Ben  Kribbs  is  looking  ahead 
anxiously  to  next  season  when  he  can  add 
these  youngsters  to  his  varsity.

FUTURE  Bl  CkMiLL  HorHFULS— Six  of  the  outstanding  members  of  this  year's  once-beateni 
Buckiiel]  freshman  hve  should  be  a  great  boost  to  Bucknell's  basketball  fortunes  next  season.  They  are: 
kneeling,  left  to  right,  Marty  Tannenbaum,  of  Hackensack,  N.  J.;  John  Beatty,  Charleroi,  and  Norm 
Voorhee.s.  Meadville:  stanchng,  Danvin  Scliaidey,  Boyertown:  Joe  Baccelli,  Niagara  Falls,  N.  Y.,  and 
Mike  Corrigan,  of  Kutztown.  All.  except  Schanley  are  averaging  over  ten  points  per  game.  The  Baby 
Bisons  have  won  nine  of  thejr  first  ten  games,  including  victories  over  the  Penn  State,  Lehigh,  and  Gettys- 
burg yearlings, 


You'd  Have  to  See  It 
To  Believe  It 

Bucknell's  freshman  basketball  team  looked 
upon  Penn  State  as  their  "big  game"  and 
were  definitely  "up"  for  the  contest,  but  how 
far  "up"  could  one  team  get? 

Joe  Baccelli  tossed  in  a  set  shot  to  open 
the  scoring,  and  from  that  point  on  it  didn't 
seem  to  matter  who  took  aim  and  fired  so 
long  as  he  was  a  Bucknellian,  for  the  ball 
couldn't  seem  to  keep  from  slithering  through 
the  hoop.  The  BU  Frosh  missed  tliree  shots 
during  the  first  period  and  had  the  fantastic 
lead  of  35-8  at  the  end  of  the  quarter.  The 
game  finally  ended  with  Bucknell  out  front, 
88-63.

Want  to  Join  the  Chain  Gang? 

The  Lhiiversity  Christian  Association  is 
looking  for  alumni  in  various  centers  around 
the  country  who  would  be  willing  to  serve  as 
"hosts"  for  foreign  students  at  Bucknell,  who 
use  their  vacations  to  "See  America." 

The  idea,  as  explained  by  Forrest  D. 
Brown,  General  Secretary,  is  to  make  it  pos- 
sible for  our  guest  students  from  abroad  to 
see  as  much  of  the  country  as  possible  during 
Thanksgiving,  Christmas,  Easter,  and  sum- 
mer vacations.  They  travel  by  bus  or  hitch- 
hike. "Stations"  along  the  way  provided  by 
Bucknell  alumni  would  make  such  trips  much 
more  meaningful,  and  make  possible  addi- 
tional local  color.  It  would  also  enable  alum- 
ni to  meet  some  of  the  very  fine  students  we 
have  from  overseas.  Overnight  accommoda- 
tions, and  a  tour  of  interesting  places  nearby 
would  enhance  their  education.  Many  of 
these  students  want  to  see  New  England, 
the  South,  Florida,  New  Orleans,  TVA,  the 
middle  west,  and  even  the  far  west.  As 
strangers  they  would  feel  more  at  home  to 
find  friends  along  the  way.  This  past  Christ- 
mas the  Hostess  of  the  French  House  wanted 
to  see  New  Orleans,  but  hesitated  to  start 
off  on  such  a  long  bus  trip  alone,  and  with 
no  friends  along  the  route.  Miss  Jeanne 
Barnes  '39  of  Niagara  Falls  has  done  an  out- 
standing job  for  foreign  students  visiting  the 
Falls  at  the  conclusion  of  the  Foreign  Stu- 
dent Institute  each  summer. 

Alumni  who  would  be  willing  to  assist  in 
this  hospitality  chain  should  communicate 
with  Mr.  Forrest  D.  Brown,  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity Christian  Association.  He  will  be 
glad  to  provide  you  with  any  further  infor- 
mation, and  to  receive  your  suggestions. 


About  a  year  and  a  half  ago  a  student, 
George  B.  Spratt,  and  Dr.  C.  Harvey  Pal- 
mer, associate  professor  of  physics,  began 
the  construction  of  an  apparatus  to  measure 
the  speed  of  light.  It  is  believed  to  be  the 
only  one  of  its  kind  in  college  use,  can  re- 
cord light  velocity  directly  and  will  be  used 
as  standard  laboratory  equipment.

BuflSngton  "28  on  Long 
Run  Radio  Program 

When  Albert  F.  Buffmgton  aired  his  first 
"Der  Xixnutz"  radio  program  in  1946  he 
may  have  thought  he  was  adding  an  avoca- 
tion to  his  main  hobby  of  golf.  Today,  al- 
most 400  broadcasts  later,  his  radio  audience 
in  the  central  Pennsylvania  counties  reached 
by  Sunbury  station  \\'KOK  eagerly  await  his 
friendly  greeting :  "^^'eIl,  w-ie  seid  dier  da 
mariya,  dier  lieva  leit?"  "Der  Nixnutz" 
(Pennsylvania  Dutch  for  "the  mischievious 
one")  has  grown  out  of  an  active  interest  in 
scientific  studies  of  the  Pennsylvania  Dutch 
dialect  Bufiington  began  at  Harvard  while 
studying  for  his  doctor  of  pliilosophy  degree 
there. 


LE.\FIN"G  THROUGH  his  fan  mail.  Dr.  Albert  F. 
Bufiington  "28  finds  98  spellings  of  his  radio  name, 
some  written  on  blackboard,  rear. 

BuflF  was  born  in  Pillow,  Dauphin  Coun- 
ty, Pennsylvania,  and  in  spite  of  his  name, 
which  is  of  English  origin,  he  considers  him- 
self a  Pennsylvania  Dutchman.  His  early 
life  was  that  tj'pical  of  a  rural  youth  and 
he  became  interested  in  livestock  judging.  A 
budding  career  ended  when  he  misjudged 
the  equipment  of  a  cow  in  a  cattle  judging 
contest  at  the  Pennsylvania  Farm  Show. 

After  graduation  from  Eucknell  in  1928, 
Buffington  taught  German  at  Central  High 
School,  Scranton,  where  he  met  and  married 
the  former  Dorothy  Lorine  Harris.  But  he 
preferred  college  teaching  and  became  a  grad- 
uate student  at  Harvard,  where  he  was  award- 
ed the  Master  of  Arts  degree  09.32)  and  the 
Doctor  of  Philosophy  degree  C  19.37).  Travel 
and  study  in  Germany,  France  and  Switzer- 
land gave  him  close  contacts  with  the  dialects 
spfjken  in  the  Rhenish  Palatinate,  the  section 
in  Germany  from  which  a  large  majority  of 
the  early  German  settlers  in  Penn.sylvania 
ramc.  There  followed  a  long  series  of  schol- 
arly papers  on  the  Penn.sylvania  Dutch  dia- 
lect. Then,  combining  efforts  with  other 
^^h(llars  in  the  Pennsylvania  Dutch  country, 
ramc  the  desire  to  tell  the  Pennsylvania 
Dutch  in  the  area  sfjmething  about  their 
I'luroiican  origins  and  their  history  in  this 
ctrtintry— a  history  of  which  they  have  a 
right  to  be  proufl. 

And  it  I'xjks  as  though  "Der  Xixnutz"  has

Feaster  '30  Follows 
Many  Interests 

Most  college  yearbooks,  L'Agcnda  includ- 
ed, are  not  too  often  correct  in  their  "most 
likely  to — "  departments.  But  even  before 
John  N.  Feaster  '30  graduated  The  Buck- 
netlian  was  describing  him  as  "systematic, 
reliable,  sympathetic,  optimistic,  brilliant,  ver- 
satile, and  a  real  friend."  Tlie  Bucknellian 
was  proved  to  be  correct  in  "Johnny's"  case 
on  the  campus  and  since. 

John  took  his  A.B.  from  Bucknell  to  An- 
dover-Newton  Theological  Institution  from 
which  he  was  graduated  in  1933.  A  further 
degree  (D.D.)  was  awarded  by  Bucknel! 
University  in  1949. 

As  a  minister  he  has  served  with  distinc- 
tion the  Kennebunkport  (Maine)  Congrega- 
tional Church,  the  Hammond  Street  Congre- 
gational Church  of  Bangor  (Maine),  and 
since  1946  the  historic  North  Congregational 
of  Portsmouth,  New  Hampshire. 

Far  from  being  a  cloistered  clergyman  Dr. 
Feaster  has  long  specialized  in  community 
activities  and  good  fellowship.  Among  his 
accomplishments  at  Bangor  has  been  his 
chairmanship  of  the  Community  Chest  which 
he  led  over  the  top  before  the  end  of  the 
campaign.  A  deep  thinker,  a  wide  reader,  a 
facile  writer,  it  is  only  natural  that  he  should 
be  called  upon  for  much  public  speaking. 
His  contacts  with  young  people  have  been 
kept  alert  through  his  many  church  youth 
activities,  as  a  speaker  at  Religion-in-Life 
Programs  and  commencements  and  in  his 
varied  efforts  to  have  students  learn  to  ap- 
preciate good  books.  A  personal  friend  of 
the  "Kennebiuikport  Authors"  Booth  Tark- 
ington,  Kenneth  Roberts  and  Margaret  De- 
land,  he  presents  a  delightful  lecture  on  tlieir 
works.  He  has  written  widely  on  a  number 
of  subjects  including  a  not  yet  published 
manuscript  of  Bunyan's  "Pilgrim  Progress." 

He  is  a  member  of  Rotary  and  the  New- 
comen  Society  and  a  32nd  degree  Mason, 

Married  to  the  former  Eleanor  Densmore 
Petherbridge  in  1933,  they  have  two  children, 
William  and  Lucinda.  Mrs.  Feaster  is  a 
sister  of  John  H.  Peterbridge  'V. 

John's  classmates  are  looking  forward  to 
the  25th  reunion  of  the  class  in  1955  when 
everybody  in  the  class  will  be  able  to  reune 
with  John  and  recall  the  hectic  days  of  1930 
on  the  campus.

avocation;  Dr.  liiifTinglon  fills  a  full  time  po- 
sition as  Professor  of  German  at  Tin-  I'eiin- 
sylvania  State  University  at  State  College. 


No  member  of  the  station's  executive  staff 
is  more  vitally  concerned  with  public  service 
than  Reginald  P.  Merridew  {i7),  program 
director  of  WGAR,  Cleveland,  for  the  past 
six  years. 

In  addition  to  guiding  WGAR  to  two 
straight  local  awards  for  public  service,  Mer- 
ridew has  become  a  vigorous  participant  in 
several  Cleveland  organizations.  Merridew 
has  just  been  elected  president  of  the  Down-

Cleveland  Church  Federation,  the  Board  of 
Control  of  the  Cleveland  Safety  Council,  and 
the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Woods  and

well  as  maintaining  memberships  in  the 
Cleveland  Advertising  Club,  the  Lakewood 
Methodist  Church,  and  Lakewood  Lodge  No. 
601,  F.  and  A.  M. 

Merridew  has  also  conducted  his  own  pro- 
gram on  WGAR.  With  Musical  Director 
Henry  Pildner  accompanying  him  on  the 
piano,  Reg  lifted  his  Welsh  baritone  voice 
in  song  on  the  "Reg  and  Henry  Show"  for 
10  years  until  his  retirement  from  the  air 
during  1953.  Reg  and  Henry  were  never 
too  busy  entertaining  to  make  a  public  ser- 
vice announcement. 

Born  in  Mynyddislwyn,  South  Wales, 
Merridew  began  public  life  as  a  hoy  soprano 
at  the  age  of  7  and  added  piano-playing  at

WQAN  and  WCii'.l  in  Scranton,  h'ollowing 
graduation  from  I'.iickiU'll,  he  joined  WK'OK,

What  Our  Readers  Like 
And  Dislike  in  the  Magazine 

The  editor  of  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUM- 
NUS would  like  to  be  guided  in  his  selection 
of  articles  for  the  magazine  by  the  prefer- 
ence of  the  readers.  To  this  end  periodic 
surveys  of  reader  interest  are  conducted. 
Last  September  Bucknellians  were  asked  to 
vote  on  their  preference  for  a  printing  sched- 
ule calling  for  four  magazines  and  three 
newspapers  each  year  (the  present  program) 
or  whether  they  preferred  an  all-magazine 
program  calling  for  five  magazines  each 
year.  Readers  were  also  asked  to  vote  on 
whether  they  preferred  more,  less,  or  about 
the  same  amount  of  space  devoted  to  the 
various  departments  of  the  periodical. 

Bucknellians  being  busy  people,  your  edi- 
tor did  not  expect  a  heavy  vote  but  was  a 
little  shocked  by  the  very  light  response. 

On  the  basis  of  the  replies  received,  the 
Board  of  Directors  at  its  last  meeting  has 
approved  a  change  in  the  printing  schedule 
for  next  year  which  will  call  for  the  pub- 
lishing of  five  magazine  editions  at  approxi- 
mately two  month  intervals.  Starting  next 
September  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUIVINUS 
will  be  published  on  September  1,  November 
1,  January  1,  March  1,  and  May  1.  The 
printer's  deadline  dates  will  be  approxi- 
mately thirty  days  earlier  in  each  case. 
Fifty-four  percent  of  the  readers  who  voted 
preferred  the  all-magazine  schedule  outlined 
above  while  forty-six  percent  voted  in  favor 
of  the  present  schedule  of  four  magazines 
and  three  newspaper  editions. 

The  vote  on  preferences  for  space  distri- 
bution indicated  that  the  majority  of  the 
readers  preferred  no  change  in  the  present 
space  allotments  to  the  various  sections  of 
the  magazine.  A  detailed  tabulation  of  space 
preferences  is  shown  in  the  following  tabu- 
lation.

Dr.  Magalhaes  in  England 

Research  studies  which  she  has  been  con- 
ducting at  Bucknell  University  have  brought 
Dr.  Hulda  Magalhaes,  associate  professor  of 
physiology,  an  invitation  to  address  an  im- 
portant international  scientific  gathering  in 
England  this  spring. 

Dr.  Magalhaes  has  agreed  to  present  a 
paper  on  the  uses  of  the  golden  hamster  as 
a  laboratory  animal  at  the  Seventh  Labora- 
tory Animals  Bureau  Congress  to  be  held 
at  the  University  of  Sheffield  April  5  and  6. 

The  paper  will  be  based  on  research  which 
she  has  been  directing  at  Bucknell  during 
the  past  seven  years  in  the  development  of 
pure-lines  of  golden  hamsters  for  special 
laboratory  uses.  It  will  also  mention  the 
work  of  both  undergraduate  and  graduate 
students  under  her  direction  in  compiling  a 
bibliography  pertaining  to  the  uses  of  ham- 
sters in  teaching  and  research  laboratories 
throughout  the  world. 

Dr.  Magalhaes  is  currently  on  leave  from 
Bucknell  to  engage  in  private  research  un- 
der a  fellowship  from  the  Ford  Foundation 
granted  her  for  the  1953-54  college  year. 

During  her  trip  abroad  Dr.  Magalhaes 
will  visit  outstanding  research  centers  in 
England  and  Scotland  with  particular  em- 
phasis on  the  special  laboratories  at  the  Uni- 
versities of  Edinburgh  and  London  where 
work  is  being  done  in  mammalian  genetics. 
She  will  return  to  this  country  in  Iv'Iay  and 
will  resume  her  duties  at  Bucknell  with 
the  fall  term.

How  to  Eat  Your  Cake  and  Have  It  Too ! 

A   Clever  Play  in   Three  Acts 

Act  I 
As  the  curtain  rises,  Joe  Bucknell  is  seated  at  his  desk,  scratching  his 
head.  He  has  some  securities  he  would  like  to  reinvest,  but  he  is  afraid 
that  the  capital  gains  tax  will  be  prohibitive.  He  is  also  thinking  how  he 
is  ever  going  to  be  able  to  leave  something  in  his  will  to  Bucknell.  He 
finally  decides  to  call  on  his  classmate,  Bucky  Bison  '23,  who  has  had  an 
outstanding  career  in  the  banking  business. 

Act  n 

The  scene  is  Bucky  Bison's  office.  After  explaining  his  problem, 
Joe  Bucknell  sits  back  and  listens.  The  problem  is  not  an  unusual  one, 
sa3^s  Bucky.  In  fact,  there  is  a  very  simple  solution  that  is  profitable  to 
both  Joe  Bucknell  and  the  University.     It  works  like  this : 

Joe  Bucknell  establishes  a  trust  fund  which  will  provide  him  an 
income  for  life.  He  turns  over  his  securities  to  the  bank  as  trustee  and 
names  Bucknell  University  as  the  ultimate  beneficiary.  The  bank  then 
reinvests  the  funds  without  paying  a  capital  gains  tax  because  it  is  acting 
for  a  charitable  trust. 

As  the  result  of  these  transactions,  Joe  Bucknell  has  made  a  gift  to 
Bucknell  and  at  the  same  time  has  done  the  following  good  turns  to 
himself : 

1.  Secured  an  income  for  life  from  the  securities  he  has  turned  over 
to  the  bank. 

2.  Diversified  his  investments  without  paying  a  capital  gains  tax. 

3.  Obtained  a  sizeable  tax  deduction  for  the  year  in  which  he  estab- 
lished the  trust. 

4.  Increased  his  spendable  income. 

Act  III 
Joe  Bucknell  is  back  home,  but  instead  of  sitting  at  his  desk  with 
a  frown  on  his  forehead,  he  is  relaxing  in  his  easy  chair.  His  smile  of 
contentment  is  due  to  the  fact  that  he  now  knows  that  he  can  continue  to 
add  to  his  trust  fund  each  year  with  the  same  attendant  benefits — both 
to  himself  and  to  the  University.

Wilmington 

On  Alonday,  January  25,  thirty-two 
members,  parents  and  friends  of  the  Buck- 
nell Alurnni  of  Wilmington  assembled  at 
the  English  Grill  in  commemoration  of 
Bucknell's  birthday.  We  were  very 
pleased  to  have  with  us,  Fitz  Walling  '46, 
to  tell  us  pertinent  facts  about  our  Alma 
Mater  and  the  $900,000  gift  for  the  F.  W. 
Olin  Science  Building  by  the  Olin  Foun- 
dation. 

We  were  gratified  to  have  so  many 
responses  to  our  gathering,  particularly 
from  people  as  far  away  as  Dover  and 
Newark.  Our  group  was  also  enhanced 
by  the  presence  of  several  parents  of  stu- 
dents now  at  the  University. 

Our  meeting  was  planned  mainly  as  a 
social  get  together  and  we  hope  that  even 
more  Alumni  will  come  to  the  two  or  three 
other  meetings  we  plan  to  have  each  j'ear. 
It  was  really  nice  to  see  so  many  old 
friends  and  meet  so  many  new  ones.

Women's  Glee  Club 

Tours  in  April 

The  Women's  Glee  Club  is  in  full  swing 
this  time  of  year.  After  December's 
Christmas  concert  with  the  Modern  Dance 
Club,  the  girls  turned  all  their  efforts 
toward  preparation  for  ilie  annyal  .Spring 
tour. 

This  year's  tour  will  last  from  April 
6  to  II.  The  first  day  of  the  tour  will  be 
spent  in  the  Philadelphia  area,  giving  high 
school   and   church    concerts.     The   girls 


will  then  head  north  toward  Bethlehem, 
giving  a  concert  at  Doylestown  High  en 
route.  From  Bethlehem,  the  club  will 
journey  through  New  Jersey,  singing  at 
Cranford  High  School  and  spending 
Thursday  night  in  the  Plainfield  area.  On 
April  9,  the  girls  will  head  toward  the 
New  York  area  and  then  proceed  north- 
ward, singing  at  Tarrytown  High  School, 
and  spending  the  evening  in  Ossoning. 
On  April  10,  the  club  will  head  back  to 
Lewisburg  once  more,  with  a  Saturday 
night  concert  in  Orwigsburg.  Watch 
your  local  papers  for  time  and  place  of 
public  concert  and  attend  with  your  friends 
and  prospective  students. 


Teachers  Convene 
In  Harrisburg 

A  small  but  enthusiastic  group  of  Buck- 
nellians in  Education  held  a  luncheon 
meeting  during  the  Pennsylvania  State 
Education  Association  convention  on  De- 
cember 28.  Carrying  out  plans  laid  at  the 
1952  Annual  Luncheon,  Buck  S  h  o  1 1  , 
alumni  secretary,  had  invited  several  pres- 
ent students  of  education  to  attend.  Mr. 
William  C.  Schaffner  MS'53  and  Mr.  Elmo 
L.  Mentzer,  who  will  receive  a  master's 
degree  in  June  1954  told  of  their  impres- 
sions of  the  education  department  offer- 
ings on  the  campus  and  made  several 
appreciated  suggestions  for  improvement. 
Dr.  Walter  H.  Sauvain,  acting  head  of 
the  department  of  education  at  Bucknell, 
outlined  the  program  of  secondary  and 
elementary  teacher  training  now  being 
offered.  Dr.  Frank  G.  Davis  '11,  professor 
of  education  and  former  alumni  secretary, 
presented  his  impressions  of  education  in 
Texas  and  Mexico,  where  he  spent  the 
past  year  in  research  and  writing.  The 
problems  facing  educators  in  Pennsylvania 
were  ably  discussed  by  Dr.  Eugene  P. 
Bertin  '17,  assistant  executive  secretary  of 
PSEA.  The  program  was  entirely  infor- 
mal and  inevitably  wound  up  with  the 
annual  bull  session  which  this  year  de- 
veloped into  a  contest  of  Frank  Davis' 
definitions  of  Texans  vs.  Gene  Berlin's 
definitions  of  New  England  Yankees.  Dr. 
Sauvain's  red-nose  reindeer  entry  easily 
won  the  prize  in  the  pun  division.

Baltimore 

Baltimore's  party  for-  Bucknell's  birthday 
was  an  evening  meeting  held  at  8  o'clock, 
January  28th,  at  the  Parker  House  Restau- 
rant. After  a  short  business  meeting,  forty- 
two  enthusiastic  Bucknellians  enjoyed  the 
delicious  cake  and  other  refreshments  for 
which  President  Ruger  '34  had  arranged. 

From  the  campus,  Mr.  Fitz  Walling  '46 
of  the  Admissions  Office,  came  to  give  us  an 
up-to-date  account  of  Bucknell  events — 
among  them  the  thrilling  announcement  of 
tlie  $900,000  Olin  Foundation  gift.  Mr.  Fitz 
Walling  spoke  with  humor  and  interest'  of 
the  more  than  one  hundred  visits  he  has 
made  to  schools  for  the  purpose  of  attract- 
ing desirable  students  to  Bucknell.  He  made 
the  suggestion,  relayed  from  the  Admissions 
Office,  that  a  High  School  Selection  Com- 
mittee be  set  up  to  contact  the  principals  and 
guidance  teachers  of  the  area.  The  follow- 
ing committee  was  selected :  Ann  Mussina 
'34,  chairman;  Mrs.  Frank  Koehler,  George 
B.  Young,  Jr.  '52,  William  S.  Kosicki  '49, 
William  Wakefield  '51. 

A  tentative  date  of  May  27th  was  set  for 

the  next  evening  meeting  by  President  Ruger.

South  Jersey 

Bucknell's  108th  Birthday  was  celebrated 
by  the  Bucknell  University  Alumni  Club  of 
Southern  New  Jersey  at  Glover  Caterers 
in  Vineland,  New  Jersey  on  February  5, 
1954.  Incidentally,  the  74  members  "who 
were  present  were  more  than  grateful  to 
Ned  Glover,  Class  '49.  for  the  superb  dinner 
his  establishment  catered  during  the  course 
of  tiie  evening  and  for  the  added  enjoyment 
derived  from  the  background  of  piano 
music. 

Between  courses  many  events  took  place. 
Former  members  of  the  Bucknell  Men's 
Glee  Club  were  asked  to  rise,  whereupon 
they  were  ushered  to  the  piano  to  present 
some  of  Bucknell's  noted  melodies.  This 
went  over  with  great  success.  However,  in 
retaliation  the  men  made  the  women  rise  to 
present  their  chorus.  All  ended  well  with  a 
finale  of  all  voices  joining  in.  Also  a  short 
discussion  was  held  about  our  next  meeting 
on  June  19th,  which  will  be  a  family  picnic. 

Mrs.  Kenneth  Slifer  brought  a  beautiful 
display  of  jewelry  made  by  Donald  A.  Ware, 
Class  '53.  Unfortunately,  Donald  was  not 
able  to  attend  but  all  were  anxious  to  help 
him. 

Quite  a  varied  group  was  present,  but  also 
present  was  a  Bucknell  student  and  a  pros- 
pective Bucknellian.  Mrs.  Dutton,  the  old- 
est alumni  attending,  was  also  called  upon 
to  take  a  bow. 

Irene  Thompson  was  to  entertain  us  with 
her  spectacular  baton  twirling  but  she  was 
suddenly  rushed  to  the  hospital  just  two  days 
before.  Our  thoughts  were  with  her  though 
for  a  speedy  recovery. 

Our  most  important  guest  of  the  evening 
was  Dr.  James  A.  Gathings,  who  presented 
a  short  talk  on  the  activities  that  have  taken 
place  at  Bucknell  in  most  recent  years.  He 
made  us  feel  as  though  we  were  back  on 
campus  again,  seeing  the  events  take  place. 
To  him,  we  owe  much  for  a  very  interesting 
evening  on  Bucknell  and  our  Bucknell 
friends. 

With    our    meeting    completed    and    our 
minds  enriched,  the  cutting  of  the  birthday 
cake  took  place  to  end  an  enjoyable  evening.

Secretary 

St.  Petersbvirg 

The  annual  dinner  of  the  Bucknell  Club, 
of  St.  Petersburg,  was  held  at  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Hotel,  with  28  in  attendance.  Howard 
Headland   gave   the   invocation.     The  presi- 

12 


dent,  Mr.  Ballets  read  a  telegram  of  good 
wishes  from  the  University.  He  announced 
the  recent  gift  of  a  new  Science  building, 
which  brought  rejoicing  to  the  local  group. 
Dr.  Jolin  I.  Woodruff  '90,  spoke  briefly  on 
the  Emeritus  Club.  Messages  of  thanks  for 
sympathy  cards  were  read  from  Mrs.  Peters 
and  the  family  of  Dr.  J.  Hillis  Miller.  Mrs. 
Bowser,  the  Mulkies  and  the  Sholls  sent 
greetings  and  a  picture  of  the  Sholl  family 
was  displayed.  Dr.  John  Clyde  Hostetter 
wrote  about  his  recent  operation,  necessitat- 
ing the  amputation  of  his  leg.  From  Lake- 
land came  Dr.  and  Mrs.  W.  E,  DeMelt  '06, 
she  being  a  bride.  From  Clearwater  came 
Anna  Halfpenny  Reitz  M'99,  and  Mary 
Halfpenny  Gilbert  I '00,  with  Mr.  Gilbert, 
both  of  them  Lewisburg  girls.  Helen  Davis 
'13  brought  a  guest,  Mary  Margaret  Krebs. 
Mrs.  Eurora  Davies  Alexander  '03  brought 
her  sister-in-law,  Mrs.  R.  A.  Davies. 


The  speaker  of  the  day  was  Dr.  Elkanah 
B.  Hulley  '07,  who  is  in  the  city  renovating 
and  repairing  the  building  purchased  to 
house  the  Law  Department  of  Stetson  Uni- 
versity. This  school  is  of  interest  to  all 
Bucknellians  because  the  late  Dr.  G.  Lincoln 
Hulley  '88  served  with  distinction  as  Presi- 
dent of  Stetson  University  for  many  years. 
Elkanah  is  one  of  the  Trustees  of  Stetson. 
He  plans  to  move  to  our  city  and  join  our 
group. 

The  Secretary  thanked  the  group  for  the 
many  messages  sent  during  her  recent  ill- 
ness and  thanked  George  Ballets  for  assum- 
ing her  duties  in  connection  with  the  dinner. 

We  adjourned  to  meet  March  20th,  at 
Lake  Maggiore,  for  a  picnic  covered-dish 
luncheon  at  12  :30  o'clock.

Mirror  of  Your  Reunion 


Have  you  ever  thought  about  how  the 
rest  of  your  college  gang  has  done  since 
graduation?  Of  course  you  have!  We 
know  because  it  is  the  question  most  often 
asked  by  alums  on  visits  to  the  Alumni 
Headquarters.  It  is  not  an  easy  question 
to  answer  but  we  are  happy  to  report  that 
a  number  of  classes  reuning  within  the 
past  two  years  have  been  able  to  find  the 
answer  and  pass  it  along  to  the  reunioners 
of  their  classes.  The  simple  device  being 
used  to  mirror  class  progress  is  the  class- 
wide  questionnaire  which  is  then  sum- 
marized in  a  booklet  or  brochure,  various- 
ly known  as  the  Reunion  Report,  the  Anni- 
versary L' Agenda,  etc. 

Last  year  the  Classes  of  1908,  1923,  1928, 
1933,  1938  and  1948  published  reunion 
booklets.  The  year  before  only  one  class, 
1922,  made  an  organized  effort  to  produce 
a  booklet.  Prior  to  1952  there  were  no 
booklets  published  for  Alumni  and  Re- 
union Day  distribution.  This  year  eight 
reunion  classes— 1909,  1914,  1919,  1924, 
1929,  1934,  1944  and  1949— are  already  at 
work  on  their  publications.  The  editors 
and  their  committees  were  reported  in 
THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS,  Janu- 
ary  1954. 

Since  each  report  is  a  class-sponsored 
project,  the  format  and  layout  is  the 
product  of  the  editorial  committee  of  the 
class.  Consequently,  there  is  great  variety 
in  content  and  size.  But  all  have  been 
good  and  have  been  highly  praised  by 
alumni  of  other  colleges  in  addition  to 
being  much  appreciated  by  members  of 
the  reunion  classes. 

One  of  the  most  unique  among  those 
published  last  year  was  the  12-page  print- 
ed booklet  prepared  by  John  Burton  Clark 
of  Minneapolis  for  his  Class  of  1948. 
Well-illustrated  with  charts  and  figures, 
John's  report  gave  a  clear  indication  of 
what  the  Class  of  1948  has  done  in  its 
professional,  personal  and  coinmunity  life. 
An  interesting  glimpse  of  class  prefer- 
ences, selections  and  habits  was  included. 

Treating  questionnaire  returns  with 
standard  statistical  procedures,  John  was 
able  to  draw  the  following  average  pic- 
ture of  the  men  of  the  Class  of  1948: 

Mr.  1948  .  .  . 

I'm  sure  you  aren't  a  29  year  old  married 
■man  laith  one  and  a  third  children,  an 
income  of  $5,05S  a  year,  and  a  new  con- 
temporary home  ivorth  $14,120. 


I'ln  not  even  sure  you  drive  a  1951  Chev- 
rolet, smoke  Luckies,  subscribe  to  four 
maga::ines  including  Time  and  Life,  or 
that  you  earned  $19,838  since  graduation. 
Not  a  single  bachelor's  degree  graduate 
from  our  class  fits  those  measurements 
exactly — but  this  hypothetical  character 
is  the  statistical  average  man  in  our  class. 
He  received  a  B.S.  degree  from  Buck- 
nell and  does  not  have  any  advanced 
degrees. 

He  has  had  nearly  tivo  jobs  since  1949 
and  has  lived  in  more  than-  three  resi- 
dences in.  tivo  states.  There's  nearly  an 
even  chance  he  has  been  a  military  re- 
servist or  on  active  duty  in  the  past  five 
years,  and  he  owns  a  TV  set. 
He  is  active  in  two  organisations;  his 
church  and  a  professional  society. 

And  John's  searching  questionnaire 
turned  out  the  gals  of  the  Class  of  1948 
in  this  average  mold — with  the  accent  on 
average: 


Mrs.  Coed 


o      .       e 


Are  you  a  26  year  old  married  coed  zvith 
almost  one  child?  Do  you  and  your  hus- 
band drive  a  1950  Chevrolet,  subscribe  to 
four  magazines,  including  Time  and 
Life?  Do  you  own  a  TV  set  and  smoke 
Chesterfields?  If  you  are,  and  do,  then 
you  are  the  typical  feminine  graduate  of 
our  class. 

She  also  received  an  A.B.  degree  from 
Bucknell  and  lives  in  her  oztm  contem- 
porary home,  zoorth  $14,840. 
She  earned  $9,830  since  graduation — 
probably  zvorked  2  to  3  years  of  the  5 
years  since  graduation  and  then  married 
and  took  up  the  profession  of  home  mak- 
ing. 

She  is  active  in  2y'2  organizations  outside 
of  her  home;  a  church,  and  probably  a 
co)nmunity  club  or  a  bridge  club,  plus 
some  service  activity. 

Neither  of  these  descriptions  fit  you  but 
chances  are  your  reunion  class  is  busy  at 
work  trying  to  mirror  your  class.  If  that 
unanswered  questionnaire  is  still  on  your 
desk  better  dig  it  out  and  send  it  off  to- 
day. And,  of  course,  make  plans  now  to 
be  on  the  campus  on  Reunion  Day,  June 
12  to  see  how  close  to  "average"  you  are. 
Even  if  your  regular  five-year  reunion  is 
not  scheduled  this  year  (Classes  whose 
numerals  end  in  "4"  and  "9"  celebrate  in 
1954)  come  anyway  for  a  good  representa- 
tion from  every  class  turns  out  every 
Alumni  Weekend.  June  12  is  the  big  Day 
— See  you  then.

EMERITUS  CLUB 

The  Bucknell  Blood-Mobile 

John   Buck    Shott   thought    to    try    his 

luck; 
He  aimed  to  shoot  a  Bison  Buck; 
He  tried  to  get  his  gore. 
This  made  the  Buck  quite  sore. 
He  pawed   the   earth   and   horned   the 

air — 
This  Bison  Buck  in  mad  despair. 
He  said  John  Buck  Shott  wasn't  fair. 

—  2  — 

John    Buck    Shott    preached    a    pious 

preach; 
The   Bucks   a   lesson   he   would   teach. 
He  called  on  Sundry,  all  and  each. 
To   give   their   blood   to   Mother   Dear 
Lest  she  expire  of  financial  fear. 

—  3  — 

Now  all  this  stew  has  simmered  down; 
The   Blood-Mobile   has   come   to   town. 
Ecce  Alumni  Et  Alumnae  too, 
This  battle  we  are  going  through — 
Ecce  Signum.

of  Bloomfield,  N.  J.  Charles  was  born 
in  Lewisburg  in  1869  and  after  at- 
tending local  public  schools  enrolled  in 
the  Bucknell  Academy  in  1885.  From 
the  academy  he  entered  Bucknell  earn- 
ing his  bachelor's  degree  in  1892  and 
his  master's  degree  in  1895.  Harvard 
University  awarded  him  a  bachelor's 
degree  in  1893.  He  began  teaching  in 
1893  and  served  as  teacher  and  prin- 
cipal in  schools  in  Maryland  and  Louis- 
iana until  1900  when  he  joined  the

—"Plan  NOW  to  Come  to  Our  Sixtieth 

Reunion  June  11-14,  1954."— 

Christmas  in  Libya,  1953 
By  MARY  B.  HARRIS 

Two  "christmases"  were  celebrated 
in  Tripoli,  both  deeply  significant  to 
the  celebraters.  The  first  came  in  No- 
vember, the  19th,  commemorating  the 
birth  of  Mohammed.  This  is  like  om- 
Easter,  a  moveable  feast,  and  I  am  told 
will  come  in  October  next  year.  It  fell 
on  a  Thursday,  and  as  Friday  is  the 
Moslem  Sunday  the  observance  began 
Wednesday  and  continued  until  Satur- 
day. It  is  called  the  Feast  of  Maulid, 
and  for  it  Tripoli  displays  its  ultimate 
in  gaiety.  To  flood-fights,  illuminated 
fountains,  hundreds  of  lighted  candles, 
torch-light  processions  of  children,  pag- 
eants of  Boy  Scouts  and  sports  clubs, 
military  parades  and  caroling  groups, 
was  added  the  picturesque  background 
of  Arabian  costumes,  sheiks  in  their 
finest  robes  and  head-dress,  all  against 
the  back-drop  of  palm-trees,  domes, 
minarets,  and  the  Mediterranean,  blue 
as  the  sky  above.  Scores  of  horsemen 
from  the  outlying  villages  attended 
their  sheiks,  one  of  whom,  called  "Chief 
of  the  Pilgrims",  will  have  the  honor 
and  responsibility  of  escorting  the  pil- 
grims to  Mecca  next  year.  He  will 
then  wear  the  red  robe  of  office  con- 
ferred on  him  at  this  Feast  by  the  Gov- 
ernor of  the  Province. 

After  this  ceremony,  came  the  pro- 
cessions of  the  religious  sects,  the  Zavia. 
The  celebrants  clad  in  their  richest 
garb  and  carrying  gay  silken  banners, 
danced  from  the  King's  Palace  to  Gov- 
ernment House,  and  then  into  the  Old 
City  to  the  Castle  where  in  earlier  days 
the  Pasha  waited  their  coming  to  re- 
ceive their  thanks  for  the  Festival. 

The  processions  continued  two  days. 
Our  Christmas  celebrated  a  month  later 
by  the  English,  American,  Itafian  and 
Greek  populations  offered  no  compe- 
tition to  the  Feast  of  Maulid,  but  was 
observed  in  the  Cathedral,  the  Greek 
Church  and  the  chapels  of  the  two  mil- 
itary bases  in  the  manner  traditional 
to  them.  Carolers  were  organized  at 
the  camps  and  visited  the  homes  of  the 
members  of  the  two  legations.  Christ- 
mas trees  and  turkeys  were  flown  in, 
carols  were  in  the  air  at  the  American 
Wheelus  Airbase  during  the  week,  and 
everything  possible  was  done  to  make 
the  Americans,  and  I  think  the  English 
also,  conscious  of  the  significance  of 
the  season  though  they  were  in  unfa- 
miliar surroundings. 

Our  own  family  celebration  was 
brightened  by  the  visit  of  my  niece's 
father,  Mr.  George  Wadsworth,  who 
stopped  here  a  week  on  his  way  to  his 
new  post  in  Saudi-Arabia,  to  see  his 
daughter  and  attend  the  christening  of 
his  first  grandchild,  Mai'y  Isabelle  Har- 
ris. The  Decembei-  rains  on  which  the 
harvest  depends  began  the  24th  and 
continued  several  days;  but  as  our  cele- 
brations did  not  depend  on  the  weather, 
but  were  family  ulTairs,  we  could  and 
did  make  it  a  Merry  Christmas.

life  most  happily  in  the  Masonic  Home

be  remembered  for  having  taught  in 
public  and  other  schools,  before  and 
after  his  college  course,  for  nearly  six- 
ty years  until  he  retired  when  eighty- 
two  years  of  age,  and  not  least  for  hav- 
ing given  to  Bucknell  the  sum  of  $5,000 
to  establish  a  scholarship.  If  he  does 
not  go  back  to  teaching,  may  he  have

ment.

Dedication 


DR.  ELIZABETH  B.  MEEK 

To  our  friend  and  former  teacher.  Dr.  Elizabeth 
B.  Meek,  we,  the  Class  of  Nineteen  Hundred  Fifty- 
three,  affectionately  dedicate  this  volume  of  the 
MONT-CLI. 

Last  June,  after  forty-five  years  of  service  to  the 
schools  in  tliis  vicinity.  Dr.  Meek  retired  from  the 
teaching  profession.  She  was  graduated  in  1902 
from  Bucknell  Institute.  From  Bucknell  University 
she  received  her  A.B.,  summa  cum  laude,  in  1905, 
and  her  A.M.  in  1908.  She  received  her  Ed.D.  from 
the  Pennsylvania  State  University  in  1938,  being  the 
first  woman  to  do  so.  Dr.  Meek  served  at  the  Mont- 
gomery-Clinton for  thirty-five  years  during  which 
she  held,  at  various  times,  the  positions  of  teacher, 
dean  of  girls,  dean  and  counselor,  assistant  princi- 
pal, high  school  principal,  and  supervising  prin- 
cipal. 

We  shall  always  remember  Dr.  Meek,  and  to  her 
go  our  best  wishes  for  the  future.

Southern  University,  Lakeland,  Fla., 
after  serving  a  long  term  of  office  as 
dean  and  registrar  of  F.  S.  U. 

Mr.  DeMelt  went  to  Lakeland,  Flor- 
ida, after  his  retirement  as  supervisor 
of  public  schools  at  Penn  Yan,  N.  Y., 
where  he  had  a  long  and  successful 
term  of  office  in  the  schools  in  that  city. 

We  recently  learned  that  Catherine 
MacLaggan  was  placed  on  the  Emeritus

and  eight  grandchildren.  Dr.  Cole  is 
now  Emeritus  professor  of  dermatology 
and  syphilology  at  Western  Reserve 
Medical  School  after  teaching  there  for

matology and  Syphilology,  an  examin- 
ing board  for  medical  specialists.  He 
is  an  honorary  or  corresponding  mem- 
ber of  numerous  European  and  South 
American  Dermatological  Societies.  The

Coit  Hoechst  is  still  at  it.  His  Christ- 
mas greeting  is  a  beautifully  engrossed 
"Prayer  for  the  New  Year"  of  St.  Fran- 
cis of  Assisi.  How  many  hours  of  work 
did  that  involve,  Coit?  No  medieval 
scriptorium  could  produce  anything 
more  artistic. 

Almost  anyone  can  write  a  limerick 
but  a  former  colleague  of  Coit's  who 
coined  one  around  Hoechst  really  took 
on  a  challenge.     Here  is  his  limerick: 

A  versatile  chap  that  man  Hoechst — 

You  never  know  what  he'll  try  noechst. 

Harp,  organ  and  cello 

He  plays  'em  smart  fellow  — 

Can  cuss  in  eight  tongues  if  he's  voechst. 

Can  you  picture  Doc  Manley  with  a 
Rip  Van  Winkle  beard?  Well,  I  don't 
know  that  he  has  one,  but  he  ought 
to,  because  that  is  the  accepted  thing 
for  great-granddaddies.  His  great- 
grandson  "Mike",  son  of  Carol,  daugh- 
ter of  Louise  Manley  Krueger  '32, 
daughter  of  Lawrence  Manley  '07  and 
Helen,  arrived,  in  what  is  becoming  a 
fad,  as  a  "preemie",  but  now  has  the 
"physique  of  a  Japanese  wrestler",  ac- 
cording to  great-grandmamma.  The 
Manleys  are  back  in  Washington  after 
a  fine  vacation  in  Florida. 

Charles  Francis  Potter  is  expanding 
his  article  on  riddles  in  the  Funk  and 
Wagnalls  Dictionary  of  Folklore  into  a 
book.  He  gives  frequent  talks  to  chil- 
dren in  schools  and  summer  camps  on 
old-fashioned  American  fun-rimes  and 
riddles,  as  well  as  to  grown-up  chil- 
dren at  Rotary  and  Women's  Clubs.  I 
wonder  if  they  are  as  good  as  the  lec- 
ture he  gave  years  ago  all  over  the 
country  on  the  American  home  library? 
If  he  were  to  give  one  on  that  topic 
today  it  would  probably  be  even  sad- 
der, now  that  the  bar  has  displaced  the 
book-case  in  sophisticated  homes,  and 
TV  look-see  is  displacing  the  first  of 
the  three  R's  for  many  people.  (One 
of  my  students  said  to  me:  "You  must 
be  like  iny  grandfather.  He's  a  queer 
old  gentleman;  can  sit  for  hours  read- 
ing a  book.") 

George  Riggs  has  had  a  busy  and  in 
some  respects  a  sad  year.  From  his 
home  base  in  Northumberland  he  was 
summoned  to  Seattle  because  of  the 
death  of  a  brother-in-law.  While  there 
he  received  a  telegram  from  St.  Peters- 
burg, Fla.,  telling  of  the  serious  illness 
of  a  sister  there.  He  reached  St.  Peters- 
burg just  in  time  to  find  her  still  liv- 
ing. Arriving  home,  George  was  taken 
with  pneumonia  himself,  and  Margaret 
also  was  ill.  Upon  recovery,  George 
resumed  his  preaching  in  churches  of 

MARCH     1954 


the  area.  In  late  summer  he  and  his 
daughter  Ruth  motored  to  Dorset,  Vt., 
where  his  son  James  is  managing  a 
sheep  ranch.  Returning  they  visited 
Cooperstown,  the  Howe  Caverns,  and 
other  places  of  interest.  Still  later 
George  visited  a  brother  in  Vander- 
grift,  and  a  sister  in  Cadiz,  O.  Then 
back  to  home  base  and  speaking  en-

CLASS  OF  1912 

Class  Reporter:     MRS.  H.  W.  HOUSEICNECHT 

(Maze  Callahan) 

108  W.  Penn  St.,  Muncy,  Pa. 

I'm  always  glad  when  the  holiday 
season  rolls  around.  I  know  that  I'm 
going  to  see  some  familiar  hand  writ- 
ing, some  familiar  faces  and  maybe  a 
note  or  two  for  my  column.  Ruby's 
greeting  expresses  my  thoughts 

"Never  a  Christmas  Morning, 
Never  the  Old  Year  Ends, 
But  Somebody  Thinlis  of  Somebody, 
Old  Days,  Old  Times,  Old  Friends." 

It's  a  most  satisfying  and  gratifying 
feeling  to  have  this  renewed  contact. 

My  first  greeting  and  letter  came 
from  Eva  Himmelreich  Apgar  Dec.  8th. 
"Dear  Maze, 

Get  a  big  kick  from  your  Class  report  and  espe- 
cially this  time,  am  trying  to  prepare  myself  for 
Hay's  retirement.  Thought  perhaps  you  could  or- 
der two  cages  when  you  put  in  your  order  or  since  I 
am  living  in  Pennsylvania,  perhaps  we  could  share 
a  room  in  the  same  "old  ladies'  home." 

We  moved  to  Levittown  on  Oct.  26th  after  many 
years  in  Trenton.  You  probably  have  read  about 
this  development.  It  is  really  wonderful,  everything 
so  modern  and  stores  so  brand  new.  These  are  all 
in  a  compact  shopping  center.  There  are  now  over 
7.000  occupied  homes  and  miles  and  miles  more 
being  built.  It's  s'.ipposed  to  be  the  10th  largest  city 
in  Pennsylvania  when  complete. 

We  have  very  nice  neighbors  and  like  it  very 
much. 

Will  probably  see  you  in  June.  It  will  be  Ray's 
40th  reunion  year  so  hope  to  be  able  to  be  there. 

Hope  you  continue  with  your  1912  column  for  a 
long  time  having  enjoyed  them  every  time. 

Merry  Christmas  to  you  and  your  family. 

Eva." 

Louise  Pauling-  Sieber  '43  sent  me  a 
greeting,  note  and  picture  of  little 
"Rickey"  who  was  4  years  old  in  April. 
He  is  Kathryn  Oldt  and  Gundy  Paul- 
ing's '13  4th  grandchild. 
"Dear  Mrs.  Houseknecht, 

I  love  to  hear  from  you  at  Christmas.  Thank 
you  so  much  for  your  note.  We  hope  that  you  and 
your  family  have  a  very  happy  holiday, 

I'm  not  so  sure  about  ours  because  Mother  is  in 
the  hospital  with  pneumonia  so,  of  course,  that  will 
spoil  things  but  we  are  going  home  today  to  try  to 
carry  on.  This  should  be  Rickey's  biggest  and  best 
Christmas.  Mother  is  getting  better  but  you  know 
it  is  a  long  road.  She  was  taken  to  the  hospital  on 
the  19th. 

Affectionately, 

Louise." 

Poor  Kathryn!  She  had  a  terrible  sick 
spell  a  few  years  ago  and  was  just  be- 
ginning to  feel  like  herself.  I  guess  we 
just  can't  have  everything. 

A  greeting  note  and  picture  from 
Helen  Ruth: 

"Dear  Mixze, 

Pcrhap.s  sometime  I'll  get  around  to  write  you 
about  my  new  position. 

I  enjoyed  looking  at  the  reunion  picture;  I  had 
planned  to  be  present,  but  my  mother'.s  rapidly 
failing  health  (.she  passed  nway  July  1952,  a  month 
after  I  had  retired  In  Trenton  to  be  with  her)  made 
me  loathe  to  spend  my  week-end  away  from  her.

I  attended  several  football  games  last  fall  and  I 
must  confess  I  did  not  get  much  from  my  invest- 
ment in  the  Bison  Club — poor  season,  but  who  gets 
much  these  days  from  a  small  investment.  I  hope 
we  can  buy  more  for  the  gridiron  if  we  don't  go 
broke  paying  taxes.  Our  Alma  Mater  needs  money 
but  who  doesn't  in  this  fast  stepping  epoch.  Some 
of  our  class  members  have  retired.  I  can't  stand 
that  boredom — it  shrinks  youth. 

If  you  can  read  these  few  lines  you  are  an  accom- 
plished linguist.  My  fountain  pen  should  be  retired, 
but  when  Christmas  gifts  were  in  order  at  our  house 
I  forgot  to  tell  my  wife  that  my  pen  is  eligible  for 
Social  Security.  I  wish  you  and  all  class  members 
maiiy  new  years. 

Sincerely,  Robert  W.  Meyer." 

A  greeting  and  long  letter  from  Ly- 
man Lister  which  I'll  send  in  my  next 
report. 

John  Tyson  was  one  of  the  soloists  in 
an  oratorio,  "The  Childhood  of  Christ". 
It  was  given  in  two  of  the  leading 
churches  in  Williamsport.  We  had 
planned  to  hear  him  but  a  bad  night 
prevented  us  from  going.  I've  chased 
this  young  Tyson  all  over  Lycoming 
County — talked  with  him  on  the  phone 
but  have  never  seen  him.  I'm  going  to 
meet  him  someday;  know  who  he  is? 
Jesse  Tyson's  son. 

Howard  Johnson  writes: 

Dear  Maze  C.  H.. 

This  is  a  belated  Christmas  greeting  and  note. 
First,  I  appreciate  your  references  in  the  1912  news. 
I'm  glad  that  my  Christmas  composition  of  last 
year  struck  a  responsive  chord.    I  renew  the  wish. 

Second,  I  have  recently  married  Miss  Eva  Cornell, 
of  Rockville  Centre.  N.  Y.,  a  school  teacher  of  N.  Y. 
C,  an  active  Baptist,  who  was  in  my  first  parish. 

Third,  you  say  Pat  and  I  are  semi-retired  and  ask 
when  will  housewives  retire?  Do  not  get  a  cage  for 
"Pop"  when  he  retires  and  snoops  around  the 
kitchen.  Do  as  I  have  done.  We  have  a  halt  acre 
estate,  with  small  bungalow  and  good-sized  work 
sliop.  Do  not  put  Pop  in  the  "dog-house."  Let  him 
putter  around  a  shop  and  "go  jump  in  the  lake" 
(as  I  may  do  here)  or  take  a  Ashing  trip  in  the  Bay 
or  Atlantic.  Come  to  Jersey  and  you  need  not  go  to 
an  old  ladies'  home! 

I  may  move  in  on  Howard,  who 
knows?  His  address  is  Lacey  Road, 
Forked  River,  N.  J. 

Other  greetings  from  Violet  and 
Louis  Neumann,  Helen  and  Ray  Clarke, 
Margaret  and  Ez  Rathmell,  Ruby  and

Did  you  notice  my  lengthy  epistle 
in  the  1912  column  in  the  "little  paper 
Rag"  (Jan.)  Can't  you  hear  Buck  rav- 
ing? I  sent  that  article  about  Roy 
Mikle  '10  with  my  news  in  June.  I 
wondered  why  it  was  left  out.  Guess 
I'll  have  to  go  down  and  straighten  up 
Buck's  desk  drawers  for  he  is  either 
slippin'   or   I'm  seeing  things. 

Fred  Tyler  sent  a  lovely  greeting 
which  I  hope  to  use  next  year.  When 
1  turned  the  page  it  said  "God's  bless- 
ing on  your  home  and  your  rocking 
chair." 

Yes  I  got  my  rocking  chair  but  I've 
been  too  busy  to  enjoy  it.  You  see  I'm 
getting  my  house  in  order  for  my  young 
house  guest  who  will  stay  with  us 
while  his  parents  await  the  Stork.  He 
has  his  grandpa's  traits — nose  trouble — 
so  I'm  removing  all  obstacles- — such 
knick-knacks  as  butcher  knives,  etc.  He 
moves  I'astci'  than  any  dozen  kids  and 
grandma  just  can't  make  the  grade. 
We  took  him  to  church  during  the  hol- 
iday season.  I  carried  in  my  hand- 
bag a  bottle  of  milk,  a  couple  of  crack- 
ers, and  a  small  rod  box  in  which  was 
a  pair  of  earrings.  I  was  prepared  for 
every  move  but  these  things  kept  him 
contented. 

Around   the   last   of   November   Pop 

15 


and  I  decided  to  take  the  day  off  and 
go  somewhere.  I  thought  it  would  be 
fun  to  go  to  Clearfield  for  two  reasons 

one  to  look  up  Ed  Dufton  whom  we 

haven't  seen  for  41  years — the  other 
to  find  some  of  my  father's  relatives. 
We  found  Ed's  place  of  business  —  a 
lovely  hardware  store  which  had  been 
in  the  family  for  several  generations. 
I  walked  through  the  store  back  to 
the  office.  There  stood  Ed,  all  dressed 
up  in  a  white  shirt,  looking  like  a  real 
executive  pushing  a  pencil.  I  said, 
"You're  Ed  Dufton,  aren't  you?"  He 
said,  "Yes,  who  are  you?"  I  would 
have  known  him  anywhere.  Looks  just 
the  same,  a  trifle  stouter,  a  few  gray 
hairs,  wears  glasses — very  shy.  We 
had  a  nice  visit,  said  he  hoped  to  come 
back  to  school  some  day  but  most  of 
the  fellows  whom  he  knew  were  gone. 
I  asked  about,  "Porky"  O'Brien  but  he 
hadn't  seen  him  for  a  long  time. 

Ed  directed  us  to  my  relative's  home 
where  we  had  a  most  delightful  visit. 
I  found  out  that  these  people  were  the 
only  living  relatives  in  my  father  s  fam- 
ily. 

1953  brought  a  few  surprises.  Letters 
from  Merlon  Ogden,  Helen  Ruth,  Ly- 
man Lister,  Howard  Johnson's  mar- 
riage, found  John  Tyson,  heard  from 
Art  Waltz,  chatted  with  Ed  Dufton. 

And  now  when  old  Father  Time  gath- 
ers up  his  possessions  and  limps  around 
the  bend  in  the  road  may  you  survivors 
(as  Bob  calls  us)  have  the  best  of 
Health,  Wealth,  and  Happiness. 

Keep  your  feet  on  the  ground,  do  your 
own  thinking,  don't  let  anyone  boss 
you.  May  1954  make  us  all  better  men 
and  women.

Rev.  L.  Earl  Jackson,  in  his  new  pas- 
torate in  Prospect  Park,  writes  as  fol- 
lows: 

"After  16  months  here  we  are  much  at  home,  and 
increasingly  happy  in  this  church's  spirit  and  ser- 
viCP  Celebrated  one-third  century  of  marriage  on 
Octobei-  28.  I  enjoyed  Rochester  Convocation.  Penn- 
sylvania Pastors'  Conference  at  Harrisburg.  and. 
with  Helen,  my  Bucknell  reunion.  Dorothy  is  very 
happy  with  her  Beverly,  Mass.  4th-graders,  school 
glee  club,  the  camera  club,  and  is  now  soprano  in 
First  Universaiist  o.uartette.  Lynn.  Mass." 

The  quotation  is  part  of  a  pastoral 
note  entitled  "1953  Highlights  For  Our 
Friends"  Earl  sent  to  parishioners  at 
Christmas.  Glad  you're  back  in  Penn- 
sylvania, Earl,  after  your  years  since 
graduation  in  other  parts  of  the  U.  S. 

At  the  Union  County  birthday  dinner 
in  Lewisburg,  Feb.  9,  Dr.  Earl  M.  Rich- 
ards, vice  president  of  Repubhc  Steel 
Co.,  Cleveland,  is  to  give  an  illustrated 
address  on  "The  St.  Lawrence  Seaway 
Project",  a  subject  upon  which  he  has 
written  and  spoken  on  many  occasions. 
When  this  issue  of  the  ALUMNUS  ap- 
pears, your  reporter  will,  as  now 
planned,  have  had  the  pleasure  of 
greeting  Earl  and  of  hearing  his  ad- 
dress. Probably  a  few  other  '13ers  will 
have  been  there  also.

While  solemnly  contemplating  the  in- 
come tax  of  March  15,  it  is  delightful 
to  receive  a  lift  in  news  from  a  class- 
mate. 

Charles  B.  Adams'  new  address  is 
1511  Myron  St.,  Schenectady,  N.  Y. 
Effective  September  1953  he  was  ap- 
pointed manager  of  purchases  for  the 
General  Electric  Co.  He  and  Marjorie 
have  two  children.  Donald,  13,  and 
Diane,  9. 

Had  a  newsy  letter  from  Janet  Blair, 
now  Mrs.  Robert  Bogar  '31,  whom  1 
haven't  seen  since  last  wintsr  when  we 
almost  collided  in  a  store  in  Harrisburg. 
She  is  currently  involved  in  getting  out- 
fits ready  for  a  daughter  of  school- 
dance-age,  conducts  a  thirty-five  mem- 
ber junior  choir,  and  is  president  of  the 
Pi  Phi  Alumna  Club  in  Harrisburg. 
Bob,  her  husband,  was  elected  to  a 
four  year  term  as  school  director  of 
Paxtang  Borough  at  the  last  election. 
Allan,  a  sophomore  at  John  Harris  High 
Schcoi,  is  a  DeMolay  and  Explorer, 
Star  Rank. 

Dr.  L.  P.  Bly  received  his  M.D.  at 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania  in  1937. 
From  1942  to  1946  he  was  a  Lieutenant 
Commander  in  the  Navy,  specializing 
in  obstetrics  and  gynics.  His  two  chil- 
dren are  Loren  L.,  14,  who  plans  to  go 
to  Bucknell,  and  Lynne,  3.  His  present 
address  is  Cuba,  N.  Y. 

"Charles  Bidelspacher,  Jr.,  Attorney 
of  Williamsport,  Hits  Jackpot  in  Big 
Suits"  was  the  headline  of  an  article  I 
read  in  the  Crii  nf^wspaper  early  in  Jan- 
uary. Handling  big  cases  became  rou- 
tine for  "Bidy,"  as  he  is  knr.w  to  fel- 
low lawyers,  in  1953.  Four  of  the  cases 
involved  suits  of  $1,000,000  and  higher. 
He  is  given  much  of  the  credit  for  the 
pay-off  in  the  much  publicized  Wil- 
liamsport Wire  Rope  Case.  He  and 
(our  associates  stand  to  crillect  legal  fees 
of  $1,800,000  based  on  the  initial  dis- 
tribution of  the  settlement  and  will 
realize  $2,500,000  in  fees  when  all  claims 
are    settled.      He    also    serves    as    city

solicitor,  was  on  the  winning  side  in 
the  Fickle  Fanny  oil  well  case,  and  is 
awaiting  decisions  on  two  other  cases, 
one  involving  title  to  coal  and  another 
an  anti-trust  suit  against  the  movie  in- 
dustry. S  signs  are  floating  in  front 
of  my  eyes  so  much  I  can't  see.  Con- 
gratulations, Charlie! 

Dr.  Palmer  Burg,  who  spent  one  year 
at  Bucknell  and  five  years  receiving  his 
B.S.  and  D.D.S.  degrees  at  Pittsburgh, 
is  busy  practicing  dentistry  in  his  home 
town  of  Red  Lion.  He  is  active  in  many 
local  organizations. 

Margaret  E.  Cornely,  now  Mrs. 
Claude  G.  Schmitt,  says  the  brains  of 
her  family  are  in  lier  husband's  name, 
but  if  I  remember  correctly,  Margaret 
contributes  her  50  to  the  100%.  Her 
husband,  having  taught  at  Oklahoma  A. 
&  M.  after  receiving  his  doctorate  at 
Ohio  State  in  chemistry,  joined  Kodak. 
Then  he  decided  to  study  law,  became 
a  member  of  the  Patent  Bar  and  the 
New  York  Bar,  and  is  assistant  director 
of  the  patent  division  of  Eastman  Ko- 
dak. He  is  chairman  of  the  geneology 
division  of  the  Historical  Society  and 
the  Boy  Scout  Committee.  Why  the 
Scouts?  Why,  Claude  Junior  is  a  fresh- 
man in  high  school  this  year.  Carolyn 
Cornely  is  in  fifth  grade.  So  good  to 
hear  from  Margaret. 

Alice  Leslie,  now  Mrs.  Stuart  Brena- 
man,  really  loves  teaching  kindergar- 
den  in  a  beautiful,  modern  room  filled 
with  adorable  children.  Her  husband 
is  with  the  Great  Lakes  Steel  Company. 
Ted,  her  son,  six  feet,  one  and  one  half 
inches  tall,  was  eighteen  in  February. 
Ann,  her  daughter,  is  twelve. 

Samuel  S.  Stern  is  treasurer  of  the 
New  Jersey  Association  of  Public  Ac- 
countants and  lecturer  of  the  American 
Institute  of  Banking. 

Thanks  class,  for  being  so  wonderful 
in  sending  in  news.  Who  wouldn't  be 
proud  of  our  Class  of  1933?  Alma  Ma- 
ter should  be  smiling  benevolently,  like 
Mona  Lisa  —  secret,  subtle  thoughts. 
What  does  she  really  want  of  us,  and 
we  from  her  and  from  one  another — 
love?  This  above  all!  Don't  tell  me 
she's  commercial  too — wants  a  fur  coat! 
Ah  no — the  aim  of  the  University  is  the 
pursuit  of  truth.  Truth  is  beauty, 
beauty,  truth.

"Plan  NOW  to  Come  to  Our  Twentieth 
Reunion  June  11-14,  1954." 

Well  1954  has  arrived  and  we  haven't 
many  months  to  wait  for  our  20th  on 
June  12th.  As  I've  said  before  I'll  be 
there;  will  you?  Have  had  some  inter- 
esting mail  but  not  enough!  Wish  I 
could  get  you  folks  to  answer  my  letters 
and  cards.  GIVE  OUT  WITH  THE 
NEWS.  I'll  just  let  you  know  who  I've 
heard  from. 

Gardner  M.  Loughery  sent  me  a  fine 
newsy  letter  with  some  "brickbats  as 
well  as  roses."  He  and  his  wife  "Sue" 
Hill  Loughery  '35  and  their  two  sons 
13  and  4  years  of  age,  live  at  336  Abbey 
Court,  Ridgewood,  N.  J.  He  tells  us 
he's  a  commuter  and  is  putting  on 
weight  and  losing  his  hair  (aren't  we 
alll).  He  was  fortunate  enough  to  sec 
the  Delaware  and  homecoming  games. 
Too  bad  he  missed  us  at  the  Lafayette 
game.  Gardner  doesn't  sa.y,  but  seems 
I  heard  he  was  in  the  insur./ncf  busi- 
ness. He  relates  that  L.-irr.v  Bond  is 
"doing  wi'll  with  U.  S.  Rublji.T  Co."; 
Bailey  Russell  died  about  four  years 
ago;  Paul  Reit/,  is  teaching  in  Hershcy; 


Ed  Flexer  is  a  game  warden  in  Pennsyl- 
vania; Eugene  Cook  is  in  South  Jersey 
with  Kimball  Glass  Co.  These  were 
all  fine  fellows  and  they  all  played  a 
good  game  of  "bridge" — wonder  if  they 
still  do? 

William  P.  Boger  is  off  to  Europe  to 
speak  to  medical  groups.  We  are  fortu- 
nate to  have  him  on  our  class  roster. 
He'll  be  back  to  greet  us  all  in  June. 

Fred  D.  Plnatti,  formerly  in  charge 
of  research  and  engineering  at  the 
Vineland,  N.  J.  plant  of  Kimball  Glass 
Co.,  has  been  elected  a  vice  president 
and  member  of  the  board  of  directors 
of  the  company.  Fred  joined  the  Kim- 
ball Glass  Co.  right  after  graduation 
and  has  shown  a  steady  record  of  pro- 
motion in  the  organization.  He  used 
to  be  a  wonderful  dancer  and  a  "hand- 
some guy" — hope  we'll  see  him  in  June. 

Major  Harold  A.  Endler  graduated 
from  the  Command  and  General  Staff 
College  at  Fort  Leavenworth,  Kansas 
on  December  18.  I  understand  that 
while  there,  he  was  preparing  for  duty 
on  the  general  staff  of  division  on  high- 
er units.  I'm  kind  of  glad  we've  a  good 
military  man  on  our  class  roster  — 
makes  you  feel  better  in  these  troubled 
times. 

Rev.  and  Mrs.  Vincent  Wayland  and 

family  are  now  living  in  Lakeville, 
N.  Y.  where  he  is  minister  of  the  Lake- 
ville Community  Church.  Met  the  Ed 
Wittmer's  '35  (Lois  Kurtz  Wittmer)  at 
an  open  house  during  the  Christmas 
season  and  we  all  chatted  about  Vince. 
Ed  and  Lois  are  kept  busy  with  their 
daughters  and  are  active  in  their  Epis- 
copal Church  in  the  Bronx.  They  hope 
to  get  back  to  Lewisburg  in  June. 

Dr.  James  M.  Converse  has  a  success- 
ful practice  in  Williamsport  and  is  a 
radiologist  at  the  Williamsport  Hospital. 
He  is  the  father  of  six  boys  and  one  girl. 
Seems  to  me  this  sounds  like  a  class 
record.  How  does  his  wife  manage;  I 
have  my  hands  full  with  two  young- 
sters. 

Mrs.  Alfred  H.  Miller  (Ruth  Beers) 

of  Bloomsburg  tells  us  she  has  two  boys, 
Alfred  Junior,  27  months  and  Charles, 
8  months.  Needless  to  tell  how  she 
spends  her  time. 

Saved  the  best  for  the  last.  Dorothy 
Kester,  that  excellent  star  of  Cap  and 
Dagger  in  the  good  old  days,  is  my  idea 
of  a  truly  great  career  gal.  Wish  we 
could  print  her  entire  letter  then  you 
could  truly  appreciate  all  she's  done 
since  June  1934.  Dot  is  a  director  at 
The  Weathervane,  the  Akron,  O.  com- 
munity theatre,  and  at  present  is  di- 
recting a  play  at  Ellet  Jr.-Sr.  High  to 
be  presented  in  March  as  part  of  the 
world  wide  celebration  of  International 
Theatre  Month,  sponsored  by  ANTA 
and  UNESCO.  Dot  is  a  member  of 
ANTA  (American  National  Theatre  and 
Academy)  and  was  a  delegate  to  their 
annual  assembly  representing  the  Chil- 
dren's Theatre  Conference,  a  division  of 
the  American  Education  Theatre  As- 
sociation. Last  August  Dot  was  con- 
vention program  chairman  for  the  an- 
nual meeting  of  the'  Children's  Theatre 
Conference  at  Adclplii  College  hero  on 
Long  Island.  As  present  she  is  thcii' 
publicity  chairman  and  preparing  for 
their  August  meeting  at  Michigan  State 
College.  Dot  is  co-ordinator  of  speech 
education  for  Akron  public  schools  and 
does  a  story  houi'  over  WAKR.  She's 
,-i  member  of  th(,'  American  Spet'ch  and 
Hearing  Association  and  chairman  of 
the  speech  supervisors  in  cities  of  over 
200,000  population  and  presided  in  No- 
vember at  their  meeting  in  N.  Y.     Dot 

17 


is  president  of  Beta  Mu  chapter  of  Delta 
Kappa  Gamma,  an  honorary  teachers 
society;  also  state  first  vice  president 
and  state  program  chairman  and  will 
represent  Ohio  at  their  25th  anniver- 
sary convention  in  Boston. 

Dorothy  certainly  does  travel  about 
and  is  still  active  with  Phi  Mu.  In  1952 
at  the  lOOth  anniversary  at  Macon,  Ga. 
she  was  awarded  first  prize  in  the  na- 
tional contest  for  her  "Centennial  Son- 
net." She  is  on  the  editorial  board  of 
The  Agloia,  the  Phi  Mu  magazine. 

I  could  go  on  about  Dot's  wonderful 
activities  but  feel  I've  given  you  a 
bird's-eye  view  of  the  busy  life  of  one 
of  our  more  prominent  classmates. 
Hope  this  won't  keep  you  from  writing 
to  me — after  all  those  of  us  who  lead 
just  normal  lives  as  parents  and  bread- 
winners are  important  too  —  we're 
building  the  future  America  and  cur 
sons  and  daughters  are  reaping  the 
benefits  of  those  four  years  we  spent  at 
Bucknell.  I'm  still  hoping  my  two  will 
choose  Bucknell  and  by  the  time  they 
are  ready  the  campus  will  be  more 
wonderful  with  the  addition  of  the 
F.  W.  Olin  Science  Building  and  the 
other  new  buildings  to  come. 

I'll  be  looking  for  YOU  on  June  12th. 
Meanwhile,  I'd  appreciate  some  more 
news — wouldn't  you — just  write  to  me 
at  the  above  address.  Just  remembered 
— what  happened  to  the  Bucknell  little 
theatre  project — how  hopeful  we  were 
20  years  ago  to  have  a  theatre  at  Buck- 
nell—  perhaps  in  June  we  might  do 
something  about  this.

Christmas  brought  some  welcome 
chatter  —  a  nice  newsy  letter  from 
Martha  Clayton  (Mrs.  Tracey  Jones) 
from  Singapore,  Malaya.  Wish  I  couW 
include  the  whole  thing.  She  does  say 
that  "Singapore  is  still  a  crossroads  of 
the  world  .  .  .  we  shook  hands  with 
Vice  President  and  Mrs.  Nixon  at  our 
American  Consulate  General's  home." 
This  was  mailed  November  25,  and  did 
not  reach  darkest  Texas  till  after 
Christmas.  Wonder  if  they  also  met  the 
Queen  and  Prince  when  they  were

Please,  please  don't  forget  to  return 
to  Lewisburg  in  June.  Ray  Irwin  has 
been  put  in  charge  and  although  he's 
noted  for  successful  chairmanships,  he's 
unable  to  do  a  thing  without  our  in- 
terest, enthu.siasm.  and  determination 
to  make  our  reunion  historic.  Let's  not 
leave  it  all  up  to  Rav  and  his  commit- 
tee, but  write  ourselves  to  classmates 
we  want  to  see,  and  instead  of  just 
hoping  they'll  be  there,  we  can  organ- 
ize enough  little  groups  to  have  the 
overall  reunion  be  more  than  worth 
our  combined  efTorLs, 

Chri.stma.s  brought  ever  so  many 
notes  and  .slew.s  of  wonderful  pictures

Please  try  to  come  back  for  our  first 
big  reunion,  and  remember  it's  not  too 
early  to  start  planning.  Vvith  your  per- 
mission (and  they  say  it's  a  woman's 
privilege)  I'd  like  to  change  a  sentence 
above.  Ray  Irwin  was  not  put  in 
charge  of  the  committee,  rather,  he 
generously  accepted  the  responsibility. 
There's  a  tremendous  difference!  .  .  . 
Hope  we'll  see  you  in  Lewisburg.

We  Visit  Biiekiiellians  in  Europe 

By  Forrest  D.  Browx,  Secretary,  Christian  Association 


Travel  can  be  just  that.  Going  places, 
seeing  things  strange  and  exotic,  or  ordinary ; 
doing  things,  rushing  madly  around,  or  just 
loafing — can  be  travel  and  pleasant.  On 
the  other  hand  it  may  mean  a  serious  in- 
terest in  art,  histor>-,  cultural  patterns  of 
different  societies  and  groups,  industrial  de- 
velopment or  social  problems — and  be  im- 
mensely stimulating  and  educational.  More 
of  this  serious  study  is  being  accomplished 
each  year  by  Americans.  Thirty  thousand 
of  400,000  Americans  who  applied  for  pass- 
ports to  travel  abroad  last  year  did  so  for 
"educational    purposes". 

Our  own  interests  for  the  five  and  a 
half  months  in  Europe  were  in  between.  We 
wanted  to  see  other  countries  and  peoples, 
and  to  make  some  cultural  comparisons. 
We  wanted  to  know  something  about  the 
religious  situation  in  Portugal  and  Spain. 
the  cultural  conflicts  in  colonial  Moslem 
Xorth  Africa,  the  outlook  of  youth  and  stu- 
dents in  Europe,  and  the  progress  and  val- 
idity of  student  exchange  ever^-where.  We 
were  fortunate  in  being  able  to  make  con- 
tacts with  English  speaking  friends,  old 
and  new.  in  all  the  places  we  visited,  and 
through  them  meet  many  other  people  of 
the  respective  countries. 

\\  e  came  out  of  the  experience  convinced 
that  travel  abroad  could  be  made  profoundly 
more  meaningful  if  Americans  took  time  to 
meet  the  real  people  in  the  countries  they 
visit,  and  if  they  made  use  of  their  own 
professional  associations  and  counterparts  in 
other  countries,  this  would  be  possible. 

On  our  initial  long  journey  by  train  from 
Paris  to  Lisbon,  our  compartment  friend, 
Manuel  Mendes.  young  Portugese  engineer 
who  was  returning  home  from  six  months 
study  and  observation  in  the  Pittsburgh 
area,  proved  to  be  a  most  stimulating  host. 
Enthusiastic  about  the  superb  treatment 
given  him  by  members  of  his  profession  in 
Pittsburgh,  he  couldn't  do  enough  for  Amer- 
icans. Through  him  the  towns  and  scenery 
and  people  took  on  human  forms.  Customs 
checks  and  strange  customs  were  met  with 
ease.  In  Lisbon  another  group  of  new  friends 
introduced  us  to  most  fascinating  people,  his- 
toric places  and  to  the  history  of  a  once 
great  power,  and  a  strong  friend  of  the  U.  S. 

In  Madrid  and  in  Lisbon,  other  good 
friends  unfolded  for  us  some  of  the  great 
art  treasures  of  Spain  in  painting  and  in 
architecture.  From  the  small  but  beautiful 
concealed  Protestant  chapels  we  got  a  sense 
of  what  being  a  Christian  means  under 
persecution.  We  witnessed  also  the  deep 
devotion  of  the  Spanish  people  to  their  own 
state  faith  r Roman  Catholic),  and  the  ten- 
sions such  a  relationship  creates  in  domestic, 
social,  economic  and  political  life.  Some  of 
the  most  helpful  conversations  were  with 
Roman  Catholics  in  varied  professions  who 
have  no  illusions  atxjut  their  explosive  situ- 
ation. It  may  be  hoped  that  the  program 
of  American  aid  will  bring  back  into  mod- 
ern life  the  country  which  has  for  years  been 
in  a  back  efldy.  Seventy-five  Spanish  stu- 
dents arc_  in  the  USA  studying  this  year, 
:^^  part  of  that  program.  Spain  is  indeed  a 
tourist's  paradise  Ix-causc  of  the  low  prices 
and  historic  and  colorful  interests.  The  ec- 
ommiic  suffering  of  the  people  is  tragic. 
Drafted  «.)ldiers,  serving  for  two  years,  re- 
ceive forty-five  cents  a  month. 

In  Algiers  and  in  Tunis,  our  contact 
friend*  were  missionaries  under  the  Mcth- 
^lisl  Hoard,  who  knew  the  language  and  the 
;o|ilc.  Through  them  wc  met  French  oflTi- 
■  iais,  Arab  leaders  anri  friends,  and  saw 
first  hand  surh  exotic  places  as  "The  Casl)a" 
arul  the  sacred  city  of  "Kairouan",  N'ativc 
hamlicrafts  and  cu.stonis,  and  the  life  within

the  native  villages  of  the  Kabyle  people  in 
the  remote  hinderland,  the  ruins  of  an  amaz- 
ing Greek  and  Roman  civilization,  now 
emerging  from  the  sands,  revealed  new  di- 
mensions of  history  to  us. 

In  Rome  for  Easter,  we  attended  the 
American  Church.  The  coffee  hour  follow- 
ing provides  opportunity  for  meeting  mem- 
bers of  the  American  community — a  delight- 
ful custom  we  were  to  find  also  in  Geneva 
and  in  Paris.  Of  the  more  than  half  a  mil- 
lion pilgrims  to  Rome  at  that  season,  three- 
fourths  were  said  to  be  Germans !  In  Flor- 
ence we  met  Italian  students  enthusiastically 
looking  forward  to  a  year  in  an  American 
University  under  the  Fulbright  program.  We 
also  met  two  who  had  returned,  a  bit  disil- 
lusioned to  find  that  their  training  and  ex- 
perience still  did  not  qualify  them  to  be 
teachers  in  their  chosen  fields  of  art  and  phil- 
osophy. A  "professorship"  in  a  European 
University,  in  fact  any  academic  status, 
comes  after  long  years  of  sacrifice,  research, 
and  is  in  itself  recognition,  rather  than  the 
pathway  to  recognition. 

In  Germany  we  were  introduced  to  Nuren- 
berg,  Oberamagau,  and  Bavaria  by  Miss 
Betty  Funkhouser,  former  assistant  dean  of 
women  at  Bucknell.  At  Zwcibrucken  we 
were  able  to  spend  two  week  ends  with  For- 
rest, Jr.  '51,  and  his  wife,  and  to  get  here 
something  of  the  life  and  outlook  of  the 
armed  services  on  occupation  duty.  Through- 
out Europe  we  were  pleased  with  the  con- 
duct and  spirit  of  American  military  per- 
sonnel. They  were  on  the  whole  better  rep- 
resentatives than  the  average  run  of  tour- 
ists !  And  they  were  taking  advantage  of 
seeing  Europe.  In  Frankfurt  we  were  part 
of  a  Bucknell  reunion  in  the  beautiful  apart- 
ment of  Gingi  and  Karl  Geek.  Karl  has 
finished  bis  I'h.D.  work  with  honors,  and  is 
now  qualifying  for  the  |)ost  of  "Judge".  Me 
will  presently  return  to  his  position  with  the 
Law  Faculty  of  the  University  <if  I'rankfurl. 
At  the  party  were  Hans  Jensen  and  i'>nst 
Wallrapp  who  were  at  Bucknell  in  I'J.SI- 
\')S2,  anrI  who  are  still  studying  law  at 
Frankfurt  and  Marburg  respectively,  fier- 
trud  Merkle's  brother,  formerly  a  student  at 
till'  U.  of  N.  ('.,  was  also  there.  Alllioiigli 
economic  conditions  were  .severe,  they  seemed 
to   radiate  some  of  the  new  hope  of   Ger- 


many. Under  the  guidance  of  Gingi  and 
Karl,  we  took  the  famous  Rhine  River  trip. 

In  Switzerland  and  in  Holland  we  found 
English  spoken  to  such  an  extent  that  we 
did  not  feel  any  handicap  in  getting  about. 
The  peoples  here  are  optimistic,  hard  work- 
ing, and  seem  to  be  very  much  like  ourselves. 
At  the  U.  of  Leyden  we  met  John  Carmen, 
brother  to  Bob  '52.  In  Geneva  we  met  lead- 
ers of  the  World  Council  of  Churches,  and 
of  the  World's  Student  Christian  Federa- 
tion, some  of  them  old  friends.  We  were 
amazed  to  find  here,  as  in  so  many  other 
University  centers,  many  Americans,  espe- 
cially medical  students.  Here  we  also  got 
to  know  the  Smith  College  Junior  Year 
group.  Success  in  foreign  study  depends  so 
much  on  ability  to  handle  the  language. 

France  proved  for  us  to  be  a  difficult 
country  to  understand.  We  saw  at  its  best 
Christian  compassion  in  the  work  of  the 
CIMAUE,  Protestant  relief  work.  Here 
the  strong  tliough  small  Protestant  commu- 
nity of  France  has  taken  responsibility  for 
thousands  of  refugees  from  Spain,  Russia 
and  the  countries  behind  the  iron  curtain^ 
making  an  attempt  to  integrate  them  into 
the  normal  life  of  the  community.  In  a 
country  already  overcrowded,  poor,  and  dis- 
organized this  is  no  easy  thing. 

[n  Britain  we  arrived  in  time  for  the  Cor- 
onation, and  remained  for  seven  weeks, 
spending  much  of  the  time  with  relatives.  As 
Americans  we  can  never  understand  this  re- 
lationship of  a  people  and  their  king  or 
(|ueen.  For  them  it  is  a  vital  and  thrilling 
thing.  It  gives  cohesion  to  the  scatlerecl 
remnants  of  em|)ire  and  coTuinnnwealth.  Lux- 
uries are  few.  Although  the  peojile  are 
tired,  the  national  spirit  is  superb. 

Even  much  as  there  is  to  see  across  lui- 
rope,  we  cannot  understand  it  without  know- 
ing something  of  the  history,  and  of  the 
people  themselves.  So  many  times  we  wished 
for  more  knowledge  of  history,  and  a  speak- 
ing knowledge  of   l''rench  at  least  1

Bison  Bows  to : 

Another  Bucknell  Birthday 

No  doubt  many  local  club  presidents  wish 
that  the  founders  of  Bucknell  had  selected 
a  month  other  than  the  month  of  February 
for  the  granting  of  the  University  Charter. 
The  risk  of  unfavorable  weather  in  Febru- 
ary sometimes  discourages  club  planners 
from  scheduling  Birthday  Celebrations  at 
this  time  of  the  year. 

Perhaps  all  of  us  should  re-read  Chapter 
1,  "A  Trying  Journey"  in  Dr.  Theiss'  Cen- 
tennial History  of  Bucknell  University  to 
understand  that  our  travel  difficulties  in  Feb- 
ruary are  as  nothing  compared  to  the  hard- 
ships our  founding  fathers  encountered. 

This  year  about  twenty  local  Alumni  Clubs 
celebrated  Charter  Day  with  the  traditional 
Bucknell  Birthday  Cake  and  messages  of 
encouragement  from  more  than  a  dozen 
faculty  members  who  devoted  their  mid- 
year vacation  to  this  unselfish  service. 

On  the  campus  the  granting  of  the  Uni- 
versity Charter  was  noted  by  a  soecial  stu- 
dent chapel  service  addressed  by  Dr.  Harold 
R.  Husted,  Minister  of  the  First-Park  Bap- 
tist Church,  Plainfield,  New  Jersey.  Dr. 
Husted  is  the  father  of  four  Bucknell  sons. 
Following  the  chapel  service,  a  luncheon 
commemorating  the  founding  fathers  was 
held  by  a  group  of  Bucknell  Baptist  Minis- 
ters and  other  campus  visitors.  Dr.  Ronald 
V.  Wells,  Executive  Director  of  the  Board 
of  Education  of  the  American  Baptist  Con- 
vention, was  the  speaker  at  the  luncheon. 

Alumni  residing  in  the  campus  area  met 
on  Tuesday,  February  9  at  the  Lewisburg 
Club  to  celebrate  Bucknell's  Charter  Day. 
The  speaker  of  the  evening  was  Dr.  Earl 
Morgan  Richards  '  13,  MS19,  Honorary 
DSC46,  a  former  member  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees  and  Vice  President  of  Republic 
Steel  Company,  Cleveland. 

And  what  was  accomplished  at  Bucknell's 
Birthday  Parties?  Well,  in  the  first  place, 
several  thousand  Bucknellians  and  their  fam- 
ilies enjoyed  an  evening  of  fellowship  and 
benefited  from  hearing  the  latest  news  from 
the  Bucknell  campus.  Every  report  from  the 
campus  was  designed  to  give  Alumni  the 
benefit  of  the  latest  information  concerning 
Bucknell's  progress  and  plans  with  the  hope 
that  we  will  all  be  encouraged  to  promote 
22 


enrollment  of  the  better  local  high  school 
graduates  at  the  University. 

Other  benefits  enjoyed  by  a  number  of 
clubs  included  the  establishment  of  High 
School  Contact  Committees.  The  growth  of 
admissions  work  in  clubs  is  to  be  commend- 
ed. This  type  of  assistance  to  our  admis- 
sions officers  is  certain  to  be  reflected  in  wid- 
er and  better  selection  of  entering  students. 
Some  clubs  held  elections,  thus  insuring  con- 
tinued alumni  activity.  A  number  of  clubs 
that  will  not  be  meeting  again  before  June 
took  care  of  the  important  task  of  selecting 
their  representatives  to  attend  the  meeting 
of  the  Annual  Assembly  of  the  General 
Alumni  Association  on  June  12.  Still  others 
canvassed  their  membership  to  select  can- 
didates to  be  submitted  to  the  proper  com- 
mittees for  election  to  the  Board  of  Direc- 
tors of  the  General  Alumni  Association. 
Some  looked  ahead  and  chose  candidates  for 
nominations  for  the  1955  election  of  an 
Alumni  Trustee. 

Bucknell's  Annual  Charter  Day  celebra- 
tion is  here  to  stay,  but  in  order  to  be  of 
maximum  effectiveness,  its  functioning  must 
be  of  service  and  fellowship  to  the  local 
Alumni  group,  as  well  as  to  the  University. 


How  Large  Should  Bucknell  Be? 

Try  out  that  question  with  any  group  of 
Alumni  and  you  are  likely  to  get  a  variety 
of  answers.  The  1909  gal  believes  Bucknell 
should  be  the  same  size  as  it  was  when  she 
attended.  The  1919  man  believes  Bucknell's 
size  in  1919  was  about  right,  and  so  on. 
These  answers  point  out  the  fact  that  the 
average  alumnus  of  Bucknell — like  his  fel- 
low alumni  of  other  Universities  all  over 
the  country — is  not  unsympathetic  towards 
the  present  day  Bucknell  or  to  the  Bucknell 
of  the  future.  But  it  seems  to  be  generally 
acknowledged  that,  even  in  this  violently 
changing  world,  the  average  alumnus  likes 
to  feel  that  something  of  the  college  of  his 
day  persists  in  the  college  of  now  and  of 
tomorrow.  Bucknell  is  fortunate  in  that  its 
growth  has  been  gradual  and  the  oldest  alum- 
nus visiting  the  campus  today  can  see  much 
evidence  of  a  retention  of  the  older  facili- 
ties and  spirit  present  in  his  or  her  student 
days. 

It  is  our  hope  that  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALUMNUS  will  always  carry  a  liberal  por- 
tion of   material  telling  about  the  Bucknell 


of  the  past.  But  as  Alumni  helping  to 
shape  the  future  of  the  world  as  well  as 
of  Bucknell  we  might  well  consider  the  Uni- 
versity of  today  and  of  tomorrow. 

Not  to  be  overlooked  in  consideration  of 
University  size  is  the  prediction  of  things 
to  come  in  the  matter  of  college  enrollment. 
For  instance,  a  recent  survey  reported,  af- 
ter carefully  surveying  population  trends 
and  Office  of  Education  statistics,  that 
enrollment  in  all  colleges  now  is  2%  mil- 
lion which  constitutes  about  26%  of  the 
8  million  of  college  age.  (About  one  of 
four  go  to  college).  By  1960,  college  age, 
about  9K  million.  And  by  1970,  about  13^ 
million.  These  figures  seem  to  indicate  that 
colleges  should  prepare  for  increasing  en- 
rollments.    How  big  should  Bucknell  be?

tablishment of  the  University  at  Lewisburg.

Kernels  From  the 
Campus  Squirrels : 

IT  COULD  HAPPEN  HERE— An  edi- 
tor on  an  Illinois  newspaper  couldn't  believe 
it  when  he  read  a  reporter's  story  about  the 
theft  of  2,025  pigs. 

"That's  a  lot  of  pigs,"  he  growled,  and 
called  the  farmer  to  check  the  copy. 

"Is  it  true  that  you  lost  2,025  pigs?"  he 
asked.     "Yeth,"   lisped  the  farmer. 

"Thanks,"  said  the  wise  editor  and  cor- 
rected the  copy  to  read  "two   sows  and  25

AN  ENGINEER  — Little  Johnny  was 
asked  to  describe  a  bolt  and  nut  and  turned 
in  this  ,gem— "A  bolt  is  a  thing  like  a  stick 
of  harci  metal  such  as  iron  with  a  square 
bunch  on  one  end  and  a  lot  of  scratching 
wound  around  the  other  end.  A  nut  is  just 
like  a  bolt  only  opposite,  being  a  hole  in  a 
little  square  bunch  of  iron  sawed  off^^short, 
with  wrinkles  around  inside  the  hole." 

All  right — you  describe  it  1 


SO  RIGHT!— A  Bucknellians  wife  was 
talking  with  another  Bucknellian's  wife  at 
a  recent  club  meeting.  The  subject  of  their 
respective  husbands'  jobs  were  up  for  dis- 
cussion. The  first  wife  said— "My  husband 
is  a  safety  expert." 

"What  does  a  safety  expert  do?"  queried 
No.  2. 

"Well,  if  we  women  did  it,  they'd  call  it 
nagging,"  replied  the  wiser  of  the  two. 


YOU  CAN  VOTE  ON  THIS— Punctu- 
ate to  fit  the  case — "Woman,  without  her 
man,  is  helpless"  or — "Woman,  without  her, 
man  is  helpless."

boys  walking  along  a  dike  with  their  mother. 
Halfway  across,  one  of  the  boys  pushed  his 
mother  into  the  water,  and  said :

Desfite  the  increasing  financial  aid  given  to  colleges  hy  U .  S. 
business,  an  estimated  50%  of  the  country's  private  educational  plants 
operate  in  the  red. 

If  industry  is  to  get  more  and  better  trained  college  graduates, 
corporations  must  provide  nnich  of  the  cash  yieeded  by  colleges  to 
expand  their  facilities  and  improve  their  teaching,  and  work  more 
closely  xvith  colleges  on  business'  needs,  TIME,  The  Weekly  Nexvs- 
fmagazine,  said  in  its  business  essay  in  the  ]an.  18  issue. 

Businessmen  and  educators  have  not  always  recognized  their 
"clear  mutuality  of  interest  .  .  .  The  rapidly  expanding  JJ .  S.  economy 
has  made  college  graduates  more  important  than  ever  to  industry.  In 
turn,  universities  must  depend  increasingly  on  corporations  for  con- 
kributions,  since  high  taxes  have  all  hut  cut  off  the  floiv  of  the  big 
ijtdividiial  contributions  that  built  the  private  schools." 

Feiv  people  know  how  much  industry  already  contributes.  In 
1954  business  will  donate  well  over  %60  million  to  private  colleges, 
plus  additional  funds  for  research  aiid  equipment. 

At  present,  much  corporate  help  covers  only  tuition,  about  half 
the  cost  of  putting  a  student  through  school.  Donations  are  sporadic 
—a  flood  in  high-profit  years,  a  trickle  in  bad;  too  many  contributions 
are  for  specific  scientific  projects  which  tend  to  unbalance  the  college 
program. 

"JJ.  S.  business  is  taking  the  lesson  to  heart,"  TIME  says.  "Cor- 
porate gifts  are  not  regarded  merely  as  a  means  of  spending  cheap  tax 
dollars,  but  as  a  blue-chip  investment  that  will  eventually  pay  heavy 
dividends.  Some  1,500  companies  have  learned  that  the  best  way  to 
give  is  through  corporate  foundations  .  .  . 

"By  investing  heavily  in  periods  of  high  earnings,  a  backlog  can 
be  accumulated  to  insiire  a  steady  stream  of  funds,  thus  enable  edu- 
cators to  plan  years  ahead."

The  Cover  Picture 

Here's  your  last  chance  to  see  a  picture  of  STEPHEN  WILLIAM  TAYLOR  HALL, 
for  when  classes  close  this  June  a  major  rebuilding  project  will  begin.  This  was  the  first 
building  on  College  Hill,  erected  in  1848-1849.  Known  as  the  ACADEMY  BUILDING 
from  the  beginning  of  the  University  until  the  discontinuance  of  the  Academy  in  1916,  it 
was  renamed  in  that  year  in  honor  of  the  man  who  had  general  direction  of  the  work  of 
establishing  Bucknell  University.  When  the  rebuilding  is  completed  modern  facilities  for 
the  pre-medical  program  will  be  provided.  An  auditorium,  recitation  rooms,  offices,  and 
laboratories  for  work  in  zoology,  embryology,  histology,  bacteriology,  physiology,  and 
anatomv  will  be  included  in  the  project.

Reunion  to  Feature  Alumiii  Weekend,  June  11-14 


The  1954  Alumni  Reunion — Commence- 
ment Program  will  open  Friday,  June  11 
and  continue  through  Mondaj-,  June  14, 
with  Saturday.  June  12  designated  as  AU- 
Alumni  Reunion  Day.  The  pattern  of 
events  will  follow  the  revitalized  program 
of  the  past  few  j-ears  with  each  reunion 
class  planning  features  that  will  make  this 
the  best  one  yet.  This  ."Ml-University  cele- 
bration has  improved  with  experience 
gained  as  the  j'ears  go  by. 

So  far  as  campus  plans  are  concerned 
everj-thing  is  ready.  The  reunion  classes 
and  other  alumni  are  cordially  invited  to 
come  and  enjoy  the  entertainment  pro- 
vided. The  biggest  general  alumni  event 
will,  of  course,  be  the  .\ll-.-\lumni  Lunch- 
eon to  which  alumni,  students,  facult}'. 
parents,  and  friends  are  invited  at  1 :00 
P.  M.  on  Saturday,  June  12  in  the  Davis 
Gymnasium. 

REGISTRATION 

.\s  soon  as  you  reach  Lewisburg  you 
will  want  to  head  for  the  Carnegie  Build- 
ing (the  old  library).  There  you  will 
register,  receive  your  room  and  ticket 
reservations  and  a  schedule  of  the  loca- 
tion of  your  own  class  reunion  and  other 
weekend  activities.  For  those  without 
advance  reservations,  ticket  needs  and  a 
directory  of  events  will  be  supplied  at  the 
registration  headquarters  in  the  Carnegie 
Building. 

YOUR  REUNION  HEADQUARTERS 

Classes  holding  five-year  reunions  ("those 
whose  class  numerals  end  in  "4"  and  "9") 
plus  the  Emeritus  Club  (1884-1903)  and 
the  Class  of  1953  plus  the  graduating 
seniors  of  the  Class  of  1954,  have  been 
provided  special  class  reunion  headquar- 
ters for  both  the  morning  business  meeting 
and  the  afternoon  social  gathering.  The 
schedule  of  meeting  places,  subject  to 
.some  last  minute  adjustments,  is  as  fol- 
lows: 


.\t  the  morning  meeting  reunioners  will 
meet  for  a  general  handshaking,  to  per- 
form necessary  business,  to  receive  the 
anniversary  L'Agmda,  regale  themselves 
with  their  class  regalia,  and  pose  for  their 
group  picture.  Quite  a  large  order  for  a 
one  hour  meeting  so  better  be  prompt  at 
your  class  headquarters  at  10:30  A.  M. 

GROUND  BREAKING  AT 
12:00  NOON 

Promptly  at  noon  brief  ground  breaking 
ceremonies  for  the  new  F.  W.  Olin  Sci- 
ence Building  will  be  held  on  the  site 
opposite  the  Engineering  Building  and 
just  a  few  steps  from  your  Alumni  Head- 
quarters. 

THE  ALL-ALUMNI  LUNCHEON 

Immediately  following  the  ground 
breaking  ceremonies  the  traditional  parade 
to  the  gymnasium  will  take  place.  Parade 
marshals  will  place  each  reunion  group 
back  of  its  class  banner  and,  headed  by  the 
reunion  band,  will  move  as  a  body  to  the 
Davis  Gymnasium  where  the  All-Alumni 
Luncheon  will  be  served.  Alumni  will  be 
seated  by  class  groups  so  it  is  very  impor- 
tant that  you  join  the  parade  with  your 
own  group.  The  luncheon  will  be  sub- 
stantial, the  speeches  few  and  short,  the 
opportunities  to  meet  Bucknellians  of  all 
classes  and  the  graduating  seniors  ample. 
The  luncheon  is  the  feature  gathering 
place  for  all  Bucknellians. 

YOUR  SOCIAL  PROGRAM 

Following  the  luncheon  the  pace  will 
slow  down  to  a  gallop  and  the  reunioners 
will  meander  to  the  class  social  headquar- 
ters (shown  on  the  schedule  below)  for 
relaxing  and  reminiscing.  For  non-re- 
union classes  and,  in  fact,  for  all  who  can 
find  the  time  we  recommend  a  tour  of  "the 
four-mile"  (see  page  10)  and  a  visit  to  the 
Bucknell  Treasure  Room  in  the  new  Ellen 
Clarke  Bertrand  Library  where  an  exhibit 
of  rare   Bucknelliana  will   be   on   display.

GEORGE   S.  TILI.I  \ 

Probably  few  graduates  of  Bucknell 
have  had  a  more  varied  experience  than 
George  S.  Tilley,  youngest  member  of  the 
reunion  Class  of  1899,  who  was  only  thir- 
teen years  of  age  when  he  first  appeared 
on  the  campus  in  short  pants. 

After  graduation  he  spent  two  years  at 
a  school  of  the  U.  S.  Revenue  Cutter  Ser- 
vice and  five  years  at  Harvard,  one  year  in 
the  College  and  four  j'ears  being  a  re- 
search Fellow  working  on  atomic  weights. 
His  Harvard  training  was  interrupted 
twice  by  a  return  to  Bucknell  as  an  in- 
structor in  chemistrv  in  1904-5  and  again 
in  1907-8.  Leaving'  Harvard  in  1909,  he 
spent  a  year  in  the  research  laboratory  of 
the  General  Electric  Company  at  Sche- 
nectady, followed  by  two  years  at  the 
U.  S.  Bureau  of  Standards  in  Washington. 

In  1912  he  transferred  his  activities  to 
the  West  as  chemical  engineer  for  the 
Smith  Emery  Company  of  San  Francisco, 
working  on  the  recovery  of  potash  from 
Pacific  giant  kelp.  With  the  coming  of 
the  first  World  War,  he  worked  on  the 
same  problem  at  the  U.  S.  Department  of 
Agriculture  plant  at  Summerland.  Califor- 
nia, then  helped  design,  build,  and  get  into 
operation  a  similar  plant  on  one  of  the 
San  Juan  Islands  off  the  northwestern 
coast  of  Washington,  after  which  he  re- 
turned to  the  Summerland  plant  and 
stayed  there  until  their  research  laboratory 
was  closed  at  the  end  of  the  war. 

He  next  became  associated  with  I.  F. 
Laucas,  Inc.,  in  Seattle  as  research  chem- 
ist and  engineer,  then  went  to  their  branch 
at  Kobe,  Japan.  In  1922  he  returned  to 
the  United  States  as  research  chemist  at 
the  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Mines  station  at 
Berkelejr,  and  later  as  acting  superin- 
tendent  of   this   station. 

While  at  Berkeley  he  had  the  luck  (as 
he  says)  to  hit  upon  some  improvements 
in  the  metallurgy  of  aluminum  and  vana- 
dium, on  which  the  Government  allowed 
him  to  take  out  nine  patents,  and  he  soon 
found  a  firm  that  would  pay  for  the  com- 
mercial development  of  the  patents  and 
pay  royalities  for  their  use.  Leaving  the 
Bureau  of  Mines  in  1925,  he  became  engi- 
neer and  consultant  for  this  firm  until 
1932,  when  their  plant  was  closed.  The 
process,  however,  was  later  used  for  mil- 
lions of  pounds  of  aluminum  during  the 
second  World  War.

Mernioii  '29  Honored 

Dr.    Michael    S.    Mermon,    whose    fore- 
sight   and    leadership    provided    a    youth 
center   for   his   hometown   of   Nesquehon- 
ing,   was   recently  honored   by   400  of  his 
friends    and    neighbors    when    the    center 
was   formally  dedicated.     The  celebration 
featured    the    presenting    of    a    plaque    by 
William  S.   Livengood.  state  secretary  of 
internal  affairs.     The  plaque,  unveiled  by 
Dr.  Mermon's  children,  Jeanne  Marie  and 
James  bears  the  following  inscription: 
"This   building   dedicated    February 
24,  1954,  in  tribute  to  Michael  S.  Mer- 
mon, foremost  civic  leader,  interested 
in    community    improvements,    chair- 
man of  the  Mauch   Chunk  Township 
Supervisors   1948-54,  president  of   the 
State  Association  of  Township  Super- 
visors.    John  Bales,  chairman;  James 
Fauzio  and  Charles  McGorry." 

Dr.  Mermon,  after  graduation  from 
Bucknell.  was  awarded  the  M.D.  degree 
by  Jefferson  Medical  College  in  1933  and 
has  practiced  medicine  in  his  home  com- 
munity since  then  but  has  found  time  to 
help  with  many  civic  projects  in  Nesque- 
honing.

Inc.  in  January  1954.  In  1951  he  was 
elected  a  vice  president  of  the  company

Mr.  Coleman  joined  the  advertising  de- 
partment of  the  Du  Pont  Company  short- 
ly after  graduation  from  Bucknell  Uni-

In  1932  he  dropped  chemistry  altogether. 
As  far  back  as  1913  he  had  been  carrying 
on  fruit-growing  as  a  side  activity  in 
Oregon  and  then  in  Washington.  Now 
he  divided  his  time  between  building 
houses  in  California  and  British  Columbia 
and  especially  fruit-growing  in  British 
Columbia  and,  later,  on  Vashon  Island  in 
Puget  Sound. 

In  1944  he  sold  his  business  at  Vashon 
Island  and  worked  for  the  State  of  Cali- 
fornia on  the  treatment  of  alkali  feed  water 
for  use  in  steam  boilers  in  State  institu- 
tions and  on  automatic  control  of  oil  or 
gas-fuel  firing  and  other  problems  until 
he  was  retired  in  1951.  Since  then  he  has 
been  "loafing",  filling  in  some  of  the  time

BOOK  SHELF 


ARXAUD  C.  MARTS 
Pliilantlircpy's  Role  in  Chnlhation 
Harper  &  Brothers,  New  York.  206  P. 

This  is  not.  as  might  be  expected,  a  book 
on  how  to  raise  funds,  but  rather  it  is  a 
philosophical  summation  of  the  experiences 
of  one  of  the  pioneers  in  the  field  of  fund 
raising. 

It  is  worth  reading  on  several  counts. 
First,  a  person  such  as  Dr.  Marts,  who  has 
helped  to  raise  millions  of  dollars  for  hun- 
dreds of  private  organizations  throughout 
the  countrj-  over  a  period  of  thirty  years, 
obviously  has  something  to  say.  Second. 
even  though  some  of  us  might  have  hoped 
for  some  specific  advice  from  the  master  as 
to  how  we  might  raise  funds  for  such  insti- 
tutions as  Bucknell.  nevertheless,  it  is  heart- 
ening to  have  pointed  out  to  us  what  a  \'ital 
part  voluntary  philanthropy  has  played,  is 
pla>-ing  and  will  continue  to  play  in  Ameri- 
can History. 

Dr.  Marts  sets  the  tone  of  his  book  by 
prefacing  it  with  a  quotation  by  Alexis  de 
Tocqueville  on  the  occasion  of  his  visit  to 
America  in  1830.  The  selection  is  a  most 
happy  and  timely  one  for  it  emphasizes  one 
of  the  strongest  phases  of  our  society.  Here 
is  a  portiin  of  the  quotation : 

"Americans  of  all  ages,  all  conditions, 
and    all    dispositions    consistently    form 
associations     ...     to    give    entertain- 
ments, to  found  seminaries,  to  build  inns, 
to  construct  churches,  to  diffuse  books, 
to  send  missionaries  to  the  antipodes   .   .   . 
The    health    of    a    democratic    society 
may  be  measured  by  the  quality  of  tlie 
functions  performed  by  private  citizens." 
Dr.    Marts   then    goes    on   through    seven 
chapters   to   point   out   how    Americans   are 
continuing  to  band  together  to   support  the 
many    private    enterprises    that    continue    to 
abound  in  this  country  of  ours.     His   faith 
in  our  way  of  doing  things  is  refreshing  and 
his  hope  for  the  future  is  stimulating.    Those 
who  read  this  book  will  close  it  with  a  feel- 
ing of  reassurance  in  America  and  its  peoples. 
Specifically,    Dr.    Marts    has    presented    a 
brief   history  of   philanthropy,   related   some 
stories  about  notable  givers,  given  examples 
of   how   philanthropy   has   helped   education, 
religion   and   public   health   in   this   country, 
described  the  trends  in  fund-raising  from  the 
old  time  financial  agent  to  today's  systematic 
campaign,  spikes  the  rumor  that  the  day  of 
the    big    giver     is    over,    discusses     private 
foundations,  corporation  support  and  finally, 
forecasts  a  larger  role   for  philanthropy  in 
the  future. 

For  Bucknellians,  it  will  be  interesting  to 
note  that  Dr.  Marts  calls  back  a  number  of 
his  experiences  while  associated  with  this 
University.  In  retrospect  this  is  not  surpris- 
ing for  one-third  of  his  career  as  a  fund- 
raiser was  spent  while  serving  as  the  head 
of  F'.uckncll,  first  as  Acting  President  from 
IW.1  to  19,38  and  then  as  President  until  1945.

There  are  few  aspects  of  American  life 
touching  the  emotion^  of  the  people  that  are 
more  genuinely  democratic  and  unifying 
than  recreation.  At  a  time  when  our  Ameri- 
can democracy  must  be  especially  strong, 
unfortunately,  separatist  influences  are  be- 
coming more  powerful  as  divisive  tendencies 
in  education  and  labor-management  conflicts 
reveal.  Although  attracting  too  little  notice 
in  this  respect  from  observers  of  the  Ameri- 
can scene,  our  parks  and  playgrounds  with 
the  organized  services  they  afford  take  on 
added  importance  as  agents  of  the  spirit  of 
understanding   and   democracy. 

It  is  such  a  conviction  as  much  as  any- 
thing else  that  has  sustained  the  enthusiasm

WEAVER  W.  PANGBURN   '10 

of  Weaver  W.  Pangburn  '10,  in  the  field  of 
community  recreation  in  which  he  has  spent 
almost  his  entire  working  life. 

Pangburn  started  out,  after  graduation,  in 
the  educational  field.  After  three  years  as 
instructor  at  Bucknell  Academy  with  a  sum- 
mer's study  at  the  University  of  Chicago,  he 
entered  the  graduate  school  of  arts  and  sci- 
ences at  Harvard  to  prepare  for  the  teaching 
of  history.  A  minor  course  in  Social  Ethics 
introduced  him  to  the  social  problems  of  the 
country,  led  to  a  fellowshij)  involving  resi- 
dence at  South  End  House  settlement  in 
Boston  and  changed  the  focus  of  his  profes- 
sional training. 

Work  ff)r  War  Camp  Coinmunily  Service, 
the  USO  (jf  World  War  I,  and  military  ser- 
vice during  that  war  were  folkiwed  by  em- 
ployment with  the  National  Recreation  Asso- 
ciation for  some  twenty-five  years.  Varied 
responsibilities  were  carried  for  this  agency 
for  promoting  public  recreation.  They  in- 
cluded administration  of  training  cnurses  in 
many  cities,  direction  of  national  publicity, 
and  field  representation  in  a  dozen  metropoli- 
tan centers.  Consolidation  of  public  recrea- 
tion services  in  Washington,  I).  C.  the  re- 
orgatiization  of  public  recreation  in  Balti- 
more, special  studies  in  Boston,  fliniinnali, 
Kan.sas  City  and  other  cities  and  the  prcpara 
tion  of  numerous  magazine  and  newspaper 
articles  and  radio  programs  were  among  his 
arlivitii^s   with  the   Assixiation. 

With  I"".  Kllwood  Allen,  Pangburn  devel- 
oped the  tcclinique.s  of  the  "comprehensive 
long    range    recreation    plan",    comprising

methods  for  scientifically  locating  parks  and 
other  recreation  areas  within  the  framework 
of  both  city  planning  and  "social  planning". 
Pangburn  has  been  a  leader  nationally  in 
bringing  sociological  thinking  into  city  plan- 
ning for  parks  and  recreation.  He  and  Allen 
applied  their  pioneer  methods  to  Baltimore, 
Portland,  Maine  and  other  cities  while  with 
the  National  Recreation  Association  and  to 
many  more  conmiunities  later  under  the  aus- 
pices of  the  Allen  Organization. 

In  1946,  Pangburn  resigned  from  the  Na- 
tional Recreation  Association  and  soon  after 
became  an  associate  of  Allen  in  a  broad  field 
which  embraced  studies  and  plans  for  indus- 
trial corporations  including  Electrolux.  Inter- 
national Business  Machines,  State  Farm  In- 
surance Companies,  Central  Soya  and  others, 
state  and  local  public  school  systems,  founda- 
tions, state  and  countv  governments,  city 
planning  departments,  park  and  recreation 
departments  and  community  funds  and  coun- 
cils. The  bulk  of  tliis  activity  was  in  the 
public  field.  There  were  nearly  three  years 
of  work  for  the  Maryland  State  Planning 
Commission   in  a   study  of   the   tourist   and

the  gift  of  the  Olin  Foundation  for  the  erec- 
tion of  a  new  science  building  on  the  Buck- 
nell campus.

to  try  to  interest  even  more  Bucknellians  in 
our  meetings.  It  was  agreed  that  we  would 
plan  on  having  a  family  picnic  in  the  fall  as

The  annual  Bucknell  Charter  Day  Dinner, 
held  at  the  Park  Sheraton  Hotel  on  Febru- 
ary 11,  was  one  of  the  most  enthusiastic  gath- 
erings of  alumni,  parents  and  friends  of  the 
LTniversity  ever  scheduled. 

The  invocation  was  pronounced  by  Dr. 
Newton  C.  Fetter  '09  and  a  moment  of  silence 
was  observed  in  memory  of  Charles  Grant 
Shaffer  '92  and  Paul  S.  Althouse  '12,  club 
members  who  passed  away  recently.

introduced  by  Mrs.  Emily  Devine  Kelly  '21, 
president  of  the  General  Alumni  Association. 
Dr.  Marts  in  his  stirring  address  reminisced 
on  his  pleasant  memories  of  days  spent  on  the 
Bucknell  campus  and  paid  fitting  tribute  to

presented  for  the  consideration  of  the  mem- 
bers the  idea  of  sub-dividing  the  Metropoli- 
tan New  York-New  Jersey  group  into  a  sep- 
arate New  York  and  a  separate  New  Jersey 
organization.  He  asked  that  members  give 
careful  thought  to  the  decision  which  will  be 
presented  in  a  letter  to  the  entire  membership 
within  a  short  time,  with  the  idea  of  coming 
to  some  decision  before  or  at  the  May  meet- 
ing of  the  Alumni  Association  in  Newark.

report  at  the  May  meeting  was  appointed  as

UNIVERSITY  AFFAIRS 


Faculty  to  Make 
Education  Survey 

Members  of  the  faculty  will  undertake 
shortly  a  comprehensive  survey  of  various 
aspects  of  Bucknell's  educational  program, 
it  was  announced  by  Dr.  William  H.  Cole- 
man, vice  president  and  dean  of  the  Uni- 
versity. 

The  survey,  as  described  by  Dean  Cole- 
man, will  consist  of  a  self-examination  or 
study  by  the  teaching  staff  of  the  major 
problems  affecting  the  academic  welfare 
of  the  college  and  may  require  a  year  for 
completion. 

"It  is  essential,  periodically,  that  an  in- 
stitution of  higher  learning  take  stock  of 
its  academic  resources — not  simply  for 
the  sake  of  change — but  to  insure  that  it 
is  functioning  at  maximum  efficiency," 
Dr.  Coleman  said  in  explaining  the  pur- 
pose of  the  proposed  study. 

"In  view  of  the  greatly  increased  college 
enrollments  in  prospect,  now  is  the  time 
to  make  plans  for  the  future,"  he  empha- 
sized. 

The  dean  has  just  concluded  a  series  of 
five  dinner  meetings  with  faculty  members 
at  which  he  outlined  Bucknell's  major 
academic  problems  as  he  saw  them  and 
invited  the  teachers  to  comment  upon 
these  or  other  problems  which  they 
deemed  pertinent. 

A  record  was  kept  of  the  discussions  at 
each  of  these  meetings.  In  addition,  fac- 
ulty members  have  been  invited  to  sub- 
mit written  suggestions  on  other  problems 
or  topics  not  already  listed. 

A  committee  will  be  appointed  by  Dean 
Coleman  to  review  this  material  with  the 
object  of  determining  what  the  major 
problems  are  that  need  to  be  examined. 
-A  committee  will  then  be  assigned  to  each 
problem  with  directions  to  study  it  thor- 
oughly and  come  up  with  constructive 
suggestions  for  its  solution. 

"We  shall  urge  these  committees  to  in- 
vite and  evaluate  student  opinion  in  those 
instances  where  it  may  prove  helpful," 
Dean   Coleman  said. 

One  of  the  larger  problems  to  be  ex- 
amined by  faculty  members  will  be  that 
of  providing  a  basic  educational  concept 
that  will  serve  the  situation  by  which  the 
University  is  confronted,  the  dean  pointed 
out. 

"Is  the  Bucknell  student  broadly-edu- 
cated and  what  do  we  mean  by  the  term 
broadly-educated"  is  another  basic  prob- 
lem that  will  come  up  for  study  along  with 
the  question  "How  can  we  create  and  main- 
tain at  Bucknell  a  campus  atmosphere  con- 
ducive to  learning?"  Dr.  Coleman  added. 

The  place  of  vocational  training  in  our 
total  educational  program  and  the  extent 
and  nature  of  the  contributions  which 
Bucknell  teachers  should  make  to  research 
arc  some  of  the  other  topics  listed  for 
review. 

"The  interest  and  cocjperation  shown 
by  faculty  members  in  our  preliminary 
discussions  have  been  most  encouraging," 
Dean  Coleman  declared  as  he  expressed 
appreciation  for  the  constructive  approach 
which  the  faculty  in  general  is  making  to 
this  vital  project. 


New  Men's  Dormitory 
To  Be  Built 

Another  Second  Century  development 
was  announced  by  the  University's  trustees 
at  their  annual  meeting  on  the  campus  May 
8.  It  is  anticipated  that  construction  of  the 
new  dormitory  and  dining  hall  for  freshman 
men  at  Bucknell  will  get  under  way  in  Sep- 
tember. 

The  new  structure,  which  will  house  220 
freshmen,  will  cost  approximately  $750,000, 
and  will  be  financed  lar.gely  through  gifts 
from  trustees,  alumni,  and  friends  of  the 
University,  accordin,"^  to  Dr.  Joseph  W. 
Henderson,  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees. 

The  committee  engaged  in  the  selection  of 
a  new  president  for  the  University  reported 
progress  and  will  make  another  report  at  a 
special  meeting  of  the  Board  to  be  held  in 
Lewisburg  at  Commencement  time. 

The  Board  re-elected  all  of  its  officers  as 
well  as  five  trustees  whose  terms  had  ex- 
pired. They  include  Alfred  G.  Freas,  Bo- 
gota, N.  T. :  H.  Boardman  Hopper,  Phila- 
delphia;  Dr.  Daniel  A.  Poling,  Philadel- 
phia; Dr.  Harvey  F.  Smith,  Harrsiburg; 
Dr.  Herbert  L.  Spencer,  New  York  City ; 
and  Paul  L.  Troast,  Passaic,  N.  J. 

Dr.  Henderson  named  Paul  L.  Troast,  of 
Passaic,  N.  J.,  as  chairman  of  a  special 
trustee  committee  for  the  new  dormitory. 
Committee  members  include  Robert  K.  Bell, 
of  Ocean  City,  N.  J.;  Kemieth  W.  Slifer, 
Woodbury,  N.  J. ;  Andrew  R.  Mathieson, 
Pittsburgh;  Joseph  D.  Dent,  New  York 
City;  and  Dr.  Walter  B.  McKinney,  Phila- 
delphia. 

To  be  built  of  brick  in  Pennsylvania  co- 
lonial style,  the  dormitory  will  be  U-shaped 
and  will  consist  of  a  center  section  two 
stories  high  and  two  wings  that  will  be 
four  stories  high.  Each  wing  will  have 
rooms  for  110  students  plus  a  game  room. 
The  dining  room  and  kitchen  facilities  will 
be  located  on  the  first  floor  of  the  center 
section  and  a  large  loun.ge  will  take  up  the 
second  floor. 

The  building  will  be  located  between  the 
Ellen  Clarke  Bertrand  Library  and  the  sta- 
dium. The  grounds  between  the  dormitory 
and  the  stadium  will  be  graded  for  use  as 
playing  fields  for  soccer,  softball,  and  other 
sports,  for  the  use  of  the  freshmen  and  resi- 
dents of  the  nearby  fraternity  houses.

Auction  in  Action 

To  the  lucrative  strains  of  "Going,  Going, 
Gone,"  the  World  United  Service  was  busy 
making  money  on  Saturday,  March  1,3  at  the 
Bison,  familiarly  known  as  diet's.  Here  the 
Greeks,  along  with  members  of  tlic  faculty, 
donated  their  services  and  wares  to  he  auc- 
tioned to  the  student  body,  and  together  they 
offered  some  strange  and  unique  commodities 
for  sale. 

Jim  Logue  '54,  Williamsport,  and  F,d  Wil- 
liams '54,  Brooklyn,  were  chief  auctioneers 
for  the  occasion  and  managed  lo  keep  the 
money  rolling  in.  Members  of  the  faculty 
offered  to  the  highest  bidder  a  ride  up  the 
hill  to  an  8  o'clock  class,  the  typing  of  a 
theme  in  the  future,  fifty  baby  roosters,  din- 
ner for  two  with  an  uncluiperoned  evening 
by  the  fireplace,  and  the  loan  of  a  car  for  the 
night  of  tlic  Senior  Prom. 

Sororities  gave  up  formal  Greek  pro- 
cedures in  this  battle  of  wils  and  wallets. 
The  Alpha  Phi's  were  willing  to  risk  ilisli- 
pan  hanfis  and  wash  dishes  for  the  highcsl 
bidding  fraternity.  The  Aljilia  Clii's  donat- 
ed their  elbow  grease  in  a  floor  scrubbing 
project  at  a  fraternity  house,  while  the  Tri 


Robert  E,  Maurer,  instructor  in  English, 
and  Lloyd  M.  Swartz,  assistant  professor 
of  mathematics,  have  been  chosen  as 
recipients  of  the  1954  Faculty  Award  for 
Summer  study  awarded  annually  by  the 
trustees  of  Bucknell  University.  This  award 
provides  a  cash  stipend  for  graduate  study 
during  the  summer  vacation. 

Dr.  C3TUS  H.  Karraker,  assistant  pro- 
fessor of  history,  recently  received  word 
from  London  that  he  has  been  elected  a 
Fellow  of  the  Royal  Historical  Society  of 
Great  Britain.  Membership  in  the  Royal 
Historical  Society  is  bestowed  only  upon 
those  historians  who  were  recommended 
and  nominated  by  Fellows  of  the  Society. 
The  selection  of  Dr.  Karraker  was  based 
on  the  strength  of  his  recent  publication 
Piracy  Was  A  Business,  which  has  received 
wide  acclaim  for  its  scholarship  and  literary 
qualities. 

Allan  W.  Flock,  assistant  professor  of 
Music  Education  at  Bucknell  University, 
was  guest  conductor  at  North  Central 
District  Choral  Festival  (Coudersport) 
January  14,  IS,  16;  Northeast  District 
Band  Festival  (Bloomsburg)  February 
18,  19,  20:  Mifflin  County  Choral  Festival 
(Lewistown)   March  11,  12,  and  13. 

Miss  Mary  Jane  Stevenson,  dean  of 
women,  represented  Bucknell  at  the  an- 
nual conference  of  the  National  Associa- 
tion of  Deans  of  Women  at  Washington, 
D,  C,  April  2-5.  During  the  meeting  Miss 
Stevenson  participated  in  a  panel  discus- 
sion on  the  topic  "The  Improvement  of 
Human  Relations." 


"Othello"  Features  Alumni 
Weekend 

One  of  the  outstanding  features  of  the 
coming  Alumni  Weekend  will  be  the  June 
12th  performance  by  Cap  and  Dagger  of 
Shakespeare's  "Othello",  which  promises  to 
be  an  excellent  production.  Two  perform- 
ances of  the  play  have  already  been  given 
and  have  been  very  well  received.  "Othello" 
is  being-  directed  by  Margo  Hand  '54,  and 
stars  Lionel  Kranitz  '55  as  Othello,  Myrna 
Haag  '57  as  Desdemona  and  Robert  Blake 
'54  as  lago.  Also  in  the  cast  are  five  mem- 
bers of  the  English  department  faculty: 
Messrs.  K.  Ward  Hooker,  Frank  W.  Mer- 
ritt,  Harry  R.  Garvin,  Frank  A.  HofTman 
and  Harvey  M.  Powers. 


Delts  provided  liat  girls  and  water  carriers 
fur  intramural  softball.  K.'ip])a  Deltas  and 
Pi  Phi's  served  dinner  to  llie  highest  paying

wash  cars. 

According  to  the  fraternity  men,  the  way 
to  a  Sem  Gem's  pockclhook  is  through  her 
stomach.  Conse(|Uently,  the  Samniies  auc- 
tioned off  six  stc;di  dinners,  the  Phi  Psi's 
served  a  meal  to  the  highest  bidding  sorority

ROBBIE  RETIRES 


Harr3r  Wolcott  Robbins,  Chairman  of 
Bucknell's  Department  of  English  since 
1923,  will  retire  this  June. 

That  terse  statement  will  give  pause  for 
thought  to  thousands  of  Bucknellians,  past 
and  present,  for  Robbie  is  as  much  an  in- 
stitution at  Bucknell  as  is  the  Vaughan 
Literature  Building  in  which  he  has  his 
office.  In  fact,  Robbie  is  more  of  an  insti- 
tution. He  was  here  before  the  Lit  Build- 
ing. He  also  antedates  the  Davis  Gym- 
nasium, the  Botany  Building,  most  of  the 
Engineering  Building,  the  Stadium,  the 
Golf  Course.  Roberts  Hall,  Hunt  Hall,  the 
Women's  Dining  Hall,  the  Ziegler  Infir- 
mary, Bucknell  Lodge,  the  Bison,  the 
Library  and  the  Heating  Plant.  In  fact, 
it  is  not  too  far  from  the  truth  to  say  that 
a  University  has   been   built  around   him. 

To  sum  up  a  teaching  career  of  45  years, 
31  of  them  at  Bucknell,  is  no  mean  feat, 
but  since  the  ideal  college  is  Mark  Hop- 
kins (or  Harry  Robbins)  on  one  end  of  a 
log  and  a  student  at  the  other  end,  it  might 
be  well  for  us  to  study  what  the  students 
said  about  him  last  year  when  they  dedi- 
cated their  yearbook,  L'Agenda,  to  him. 
Here  it  is: 

"Beneath  the  seeming  New  England 
austerity  that  is  characteristic  of  Dr. 
Harry  W.  Robbins  lies  a  Frostian  hu- 
mour, a  gentle  understanding  of  the 
minds  of  men,  and  a  scholarly  mind  rich 
in  literature  and  in  life.  During  his 
seventy  years,  'Robbie'  has  been  a  foot- 
ball plaj'er  and  a  journeyman  printer, 
an  army  captain,  a  high  school  teacher, 
and  for  the  past  thirty  years,  a  professor 
of  English.  He  reads  a  French  or  Ger- 
man text  or  an  old  Anglo-Saxon  manu- 
script with  the  same  ease  with  which  he 
attacks  a  problem  in  semantics.  Those 
of  us  who  have  spoken  to  him  of  life 
and  its  problems  know  that  he  is  a  phi- 
losopher. 

"Dr.  Robbins  was  graduated  from 
Brown  University  in  1908,  and  received 
the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy 
from  the  University  of  Minnesota  in 
1923.  He  has  been  chairman  of  the 
Bucknell  Department  of  English  for  thirty 
years,  during  which  time  he  has  been 
on  numerous  important  faculty  commit- 
tees, a  foundation  member  and  president 
of  the  Bucknell  chapter  of  Phi  Beta 
Kappa,  and  an  adviser  to  Sigma  Tau 
Delta.  He  is  a  member  of  the  American 
Association  of  University  Professors, 
the  Modern  Language  Association,  the 
Early  English  Text  Society,  and  Le 
Societe  des  Anciens  Textes  Francais. 

"Best  known  as  the  co-editor  of  the 
widely  printed  Western  World  Literature, 
for  which-  he  completed  several  transla- 
tions, Dr.  Robbins  has  also  published  edi- 
tions of  Le  Miroir  de  Seinte  Eglise,  Rich- 
ard Rolle's  'Devout  Meditaciomn,'  and 
worked  on  a  translation  of  The  Romance 
of  the  Rose. 

"The  rigors  of  academic  duties  have 
never  succeeded  in  hiding  the  twinkle 
in  his  eyes,  his  almost  boyish  satisfac- 
tion over  a  good  bridge  hand,  or  the  dry 
wit  expressed  in  muted  asides.  Students 
who  penetrate  the  Vermont  severity  dis- 
cover that   'Robbie'   is   both  warm  and 

8 


kind,  and  that  he  has  a  keen  awareness 
and   an   understanding   that    can    spring 
onlj'  from  years  of  studying,  of  reading, 
and  of  living." 
In    making'  the    presentation    at    Senior 

Chapel  last  year,  the  students  also  said: 
"He  has  become  a  tradition  at  Buck- 
nell University,  a  tradition  so  well  es- 
tablished that  not  one  of  us  will  ever 
forget  the  shivers  of  our  first  oral  quiz 
or  the  fact  that  Agamemnon  died  in  the 
bathtub.  We  hope  that  this  L'Agenda 
will  be  in  some  small  way  a  tribute  to  a 
man  whose  presence  at  this  university 
has  stood  for  all  that  is  worthy  and  rich 
in  the  academic  tradition." 
Obviously  Robbie's  claim  to  fame  is  not 

mere  longevity.    Yet  much  of  what  he  has 


Harry  Wolcott  Robbins 

done  for  Bucknell  over  these  many  years 
has  received  little  notice.  As  any  former 
student  will  understand,  Robbie  is  not  one 
to  advertise. 

The  bulk  of  Robbie's  efforts  naturalh' 
have  gone  into  building  and  improving  the 
work  of  the  English  Department.  One  of 
his  first  innovations  in  that  Department 
was  the  introduction,  in  1927,  of  an  honors 
course  or  seminar.  At  that  time  the  idea 
was  unusual  in  American  Colleges,  for  it 
lay  stress  on  the  reading  of  literature  and 
eliminated  almost  all  requirements  of  class 
attendance  during  the  student's  final 
semester. 

The  seminar,  which  has  manj'  features 
of  a  graduate  course,  was  established  pri- 
marily for  seniors  who  wished  to  obtain 
honors  in  English,  but  from  the  first  grad- 
uate students  were  admitted.  Altogether 
the  work  of  the  course  is  a  satisfactory 
contribution  to  the  "mastery  of  the  field", 
which  is  considered  to  be  the  basis  for  the 
awarding  of  the  A.M.   degree. 

Probably  the  most  important  contribu- 
tion to  the  Department  was  the  introduc- 
tion of  the  World  Literature  course.  This 
started  in  1929  as  an  evening  course  en- 
titled "An  Introduction  to  World  Litera- 
ture" and  made  use  of  the  faculties  of  the 
various  language  departments.  The  course 
ran  along  for  several  years,  was  dropped 


temporarily  and  then  blossomed  forth  in 
1934  as  "World  Literature".  Originally 
the  course  carried  through  to  the  middle 
of  the  18th  Century,  but  in  later  years  it 
was  developed  to  cover  all  Western  Lit- 
erature from  Homer  to  the  present.  The 
purpose  of  the  course  was  to  provide  back- 
ground for  later  advanced  courses.  In  this 
work.  Professor  Robbins  worked  in  co- 
operation with  the  then  Professor  Cole- 
man and  the  two  eventually  edited  an 
anthology  entitled  Western  World  Litera- 
ture. This  book  filled  a  definite  need  in 
college  work  and  subsequently  was  adopt- 
ed by  colleges  throughout  the  country.  As 
late  as  1951  it  had  gone  into  its  15th  print- 
ing. 

In  1945  an  Advanced  World  Literature 
Course  was  introduced  for  students  wish- 
ing to  do  more  intensive  work  similar  to 
that  in  the  Great  Book  courses  at  other 
colleges. 

Another  innovation  made  by  Robbie, 
was  a  system  of  cumulative  tests  for  En- 
glish students.  These  tests  encouraged 
the  student  to  remember  work  of  previous 
semesters  instead  of  assuming  that  when 
the  final  examination  is  passed,  he  is 
"through  with  the  course".  These  tests 
also  serve  as  a  sort  of  comprehensive  ex- 
amination for  majors  in  the  field  and  pro- 
vide proof  of  general  mastery  of  the  sub- 
ject. 

Behind  all  of  this  work  was  the  basic 
idea  of  getting  students  to  think,  the  ob- 
vious sign  of  a^  great  teacher. 

It  is  also  interesting  to  note  that  of  the 
14  Committees  on  which  Robbie  was 
elected  to  serve  during  his  31  years  at 
Bucknell,  most  of  them  concerned  them- 
selves with  academic  matters.  He  was 
constantly  on  the  side  of  scholarship  and 
it  is  no  coincidence  that  as  his  committee 
work  was  lightened  these  last  few  years, 
the  one  major  assignment  he  retained  was 
that  of  member  of  the  Academic  Standards 
Committee. 

Committee  titles  and  functions  have 
changed  greatly  during  the  31  years  Rob- 
bie has  been  at  Bucknell,  but  from  the 
names  of  those  on  which  he  was  asked  to 
serve  over  the  years,  it  can  be  seen  that 
he  has  always  been  regarded  as  a  scholar. 
Under  five  presidents,  from  Hunt  to  Hil- 
dreth,  his  opinion  was  sought  in  such  fields 
as  Curriculum  and  Courses,  Advanced  De- 
grees, Student  Measurement,  Faculty  Ad- 
visory, and  Academic  Standards.  For  the 
past  five  years  he  has  served  as  Chairman 
of  the  Cordinating  Committee  of  the  Lib- 
eral Arts  Group,  although  there  is  no 
doubt  that  he  served  in  that  capacity  for 
many  years  before  the  title  was  created. 
During  the  administration  of  President 
Rainey,  for  example,  he  served  as  Chair- 
man of  the  Language  Group,  and  as  such 
was  a  member  of  the  Administrative 
Council.  His  longest  tenure  was  on  the 
Advanced  Degrees  Committee  on  which 
he  served  eight  years  before  becoming 
Chairman  for  another  nine  years. 

The  records  do  not  show,  however,  one 
paradox  in  his  make-up.  A  humanist  and 
a  linguist,  he  is  also,  strangely  enough,  an 
amateur  statistician.  It  comes  out  in  his 
bridge  and  when  he  needs  facts  to  back 
up  an  argument. 

Nor  do  the  records  show  his  love  for  his 
native  Vermont,  to  which  he  retreats  reg- 
ularly for  his  summer  vacations.  This 
may  account  in  part  for  the  fact  that  his 
31  years  in  Pennsylvania  apparently  have 
had  little  efifect  on  his  nature.  He  still  is 
a  Vermonter  in  appearance,  manner, 
speech  or  silence.

Brownell  '43  Aids  in 
Tumor  Research 

Since  Gordon  L.  Brownell  received  his 
B.S.  degree  with  a  major  in  physics  from 
Bucknell  in  1943  he  has  achieved  fame  for 
his  research  in  the  fields  of  physics  and 
bio-physics.  Obviously,  his  achievements 
have  been  credited  in  the  reports  in  pro- 
fessional journals  but  more  and  more  his 
work  has  received  attention  in  the  promi- 
nent periodicals.  In  1951  both  Colliers  and 
Look  carried  articles  describing  his  research 
acti\'ities.  In  April  Time  magazine  reported 
the  stor\-  of  his  contribution  in  helping  save 
the  life  of  a  young  patient  at  Massachusetts 
General  Hospital,  Boston. 

Time  reported  the  case  (April  5,  1954) 
as  follows : 

"Holly  Jane  Hyde,  daughter  of  a  Rhode 
Island  chicken  and  apple  farmer,  had  been 
a  lively  youngster  and,  with  her  brilliant 
coppery  hair,  was  as  bright  as  a  new  penny. 
But  when,  at  seven,  Holly  went  into  second 
grade,  she  had  trouble  with  reading.  Then 
Holly's  mother  noticed  that  sometimes  she 
seemed  not  to  understand  what  was  said  to 
her ;  she  gazed  vacantly  into  space  and 
occasionally  picked  up  her  luncheon  sand- 
wich and  tossed  it  across  the  room  for  no 
evident  reason. 

"At  first  the  doctors  could  not  be  sure  of 
the  reason,  either.  It  might  be  the  petitinal 
form  of  epilepsy,  or  a  brain  tumor.  At 
Massachusetts  General  Hospital  in  Boston, 
Neurosurgeon  \\'illiam  H.  Sweet  tried  the 
electroencephalogram  ("brain-wave  m  a  - 
chine')  and  got  indications  of  a  local  dis- 
order, but  nothing  definite  enough  to  justify 
major  brain  surgery.  Another  standard  test 
(in  itself  fairly  drastic),  involving  the  in- 
jection of  air  into  the  brain  cavities,  showed 
nothing.  Xot  long  ago  Holly  Hyde  would 
have  had  to  wait  for  her  condition  to  worsen, 
imperiling  her  understanding  of  language 
and  perhaps  endangering  her  life,  before  the 
doctors  could  have  felt  certain  of  what  to  do. 

"But  Dr.  Sweet  had  worked  with  the 
Massachusetts  Institute  of  Technology's 
Physicist  (jordon  Brownell  to  develop  a 
scarming  machine  that  shows,  with  a  high 
degree  of  accuracy,  not  only  whether  a  brain 
tumor  is  present  but,  if  so,  precisely  where 
it  is.  Dr.  Sweet  gave  Holly  an  injection  of 
radioactive  arsenic,  which  has  an  affinity  for 
tumors.  An  hour  later  she  lay  on  a  cot  with 
her  head  between  two  scintillation  counters 
to  which  scanning  mechanisms  were  attached. 
Soon,  as  the  counters  picked  up  the  gamma 
rays,  the  robot  pens  showed  that  the  arsenic 
had  concentrated  in  one  part  of  the  lower 
forebrain.  This  showed  that  Holly  did 
indeed  have  a  tumor.  Another  scan  showed 
that  it  was  left  of  center,  and  (within  a  third 
of  an  inch;  how  far.  The  machine,  which 
Dr.  Brownell  had  helped  to  work  out  under 
an  A  EC  grant,  told  Dr.  Sweet  just  where 
to  operate.  He  removed  an  invading  tumor. 
That  was  a  year  ago. 

"Last  week  Third-Grader  Holly  Hyde 
fKjunccd  into  the  hospital  board  room  so 
that  American  Cancer  Society  officials  could 
see  for  themselves  that  she  now  seems  fully 
recovered.  Her  reading  has  improved, 
she  has  no  more  spells  and  feels,  as  she 
chirped,  'fine.' 

"Drs.  Sweet  and  Brownell  have  run  their 
tally  of  scanned  subjects  (including  normal 
volunteers  for  comparison)  to  well  over  200. 
The  machine,  they  hope,  will  save  many  a 
patient  from  dangerous  surgery  inside  the 
<kull  for  the  .sole  purjwsc  of  getting  infor- 
mation and  will  make  the  operation  far 
surer  in  case.s  where  a  lurking  tumor  is 
disclostd."

Boerner  '32  Serves 
in  Germany 

Alfred  V.  ("Mickey")  Boerner  '32,  is  in 
charge  of  the  U.  S.  information  and  cultural 
program  in  Germany.  As  Director  of  the 
Office  of  Public  Affairs  since  October  26, 
1952,  he  has  played  a  large  role  in  building 
firm  ties  of  understanding  between  the  people 


.ILFEED  V.  BOERNER  '33 

of  Germanj'  and  the  United  States.  Under 
him  are  about  2,000  employees,  and  his  cur- 
rent budget  is  about  $16,000,000. 

Five  different  groups  of  workers  are  en- 
gaged in  the  program.  Through  26  informa- 
tion centers — Amerika  Haeuser — and  about 
one  hundred  local  libraries  which  were  begun 
by  this  program,  books  and  magazines,  lec- 
tures and  concerts,  documentary  moving  pic- 
tures, and  English-language  lessons  are  avail- 
able to  all.  Each  of  the  larger  libraries  has 
from  ten  to  twenty-five  thousand  books  and 
about  100  magazines.  The  significance  of 
this  enterprise  of  American  goodwill  cannot 
be  overestimated. 

The  other  groups  of  workers  are  engaged 
in  distributing  news  stories  and  pamphlets, 
exhibiting  documentary  films ;  exchanging 
about  500  students,  teachers,  and  research 
scholars ;  carrying  on  educational  relations ; 
and  studying  the  conditions  which  result  from 
the  division  of  Germany  into  two  zones. 

"Mickey"  came  to  this  high  position 
through  his  consistently  important  work 
since  his  arrival  in  1946.  After  his  days  at 
Bucknell,  where  he  was  intercollegiate  mid- 
dleweight boxing  champion,  he  studied  at  the 
University  of  Michigan  and  in  France  and 
Germany.  On  returning  to  the  United  States, 
he  taught  at  Washington  and  Jefferson  Col- 
lege and  did  public  relations  work  in  Ohio. 
Early  in  World  War  II  he  began  broadcast- 
ing comments  on  international  affairs  over  a 
[Pittsburgh  station. 

In  the  fall  of  1944  he  joined  the  Office  of 
War  Information  in  New  York  and  soon  was 
in  London  as  head  of  the  policy  desk  for  Ger- 
many and  also  as  a  member  of  the  psycholog- 
ical warfare  division  of  SHAKE  i-nder  Gen- 
eral Eisenhower.  He  followed  the  victorious 
American  troops  into  Luxembourg  in  March, 
1945,  and  then  into  I'rankfurt  am  Main  the 
next  month  to  brfiadcast  to  the  (jerman  peo- 
ple. His  initial  phrase,  "Guten  AbenrI,"  be- 
came so  i)opular  as  a  result  of  his  excellent 
commentaries,  that  he  has  been  known  ever 
since  as  "Hcrr  Guten  Abend"  and  was  voted 
Germany's  most  popular  radio  commentator.

been  nearly  as  busy  as  ever  with  Allen  and

Dade  County.  Fla.,  and  Pittsfield,  Mass.,  for 
Community  Chests  and  Councils  of  America, 
Inc.  and  Community  Research  Associates. 
Currently  he  is  engaged  with  Allen  in  replan- 
ning  the  parks  and  beaches  of  Long  Beach, 
California  and  designing  one  of  the  first 
state  parks  for  the  State  of  Delaware. 

Pangburn  is  a  member  of  the  American 
Association  of  Social  Workers,  the  American 
Recreation  Society,  the  National  Recreation 
Association  and  an  associate  member  of  the 
American  Institute  of  Park  Executives.  He 
is  a  former  president  of  the  National  Social 
Work  Publicity  Council.  He  is  a  former 
chairman  of  the  Citizens  Advisory  Committee 
on  city  planning  and  a  member  of  the  Cos- 
mopolitan Club  in  Montclair,  N.  J.,  where 
he  has  resided  since  1924.  His  wife,  (Kath- 
arine E.  Greene)  was  Smith,  1915.  There 
are  two  sons,  both  married,  Edward  living 
in  Amarillo,  Texas  and  John,  in  Montclair. 

During  his  professional  career  Pangburn 
has  seen  a  healthy  ripening  of  public  appre- 
ciation of  participant  recreation  in  the  United 
States.  Against  a  background  of  profession- 
alization  of  much  sport,  colossal  develop- 
ment of  commercial  amusement  and  the  mul- 
tiplicity of  gadgets  that  encourage  "spec- 
tatoritis"  he  has  seen  the  steady  growth  of 
national,  state,  county  and  city  parks,  the 
spread  of  city  playgrounds,  the  immense 
growth  of  crafts,  the  popularity  of  good 
music  and  hobbies,  the  expansion  of  swim- 
ming pools  and  beaches  and  the  vogue  of 
community  forms  of  recreation  such  as  pic- 
nicking, square  and  folk  dancing  and  com- 
munity  center  programs. 

These  simple,  healthy  developments  enrich 
the  physical,  emotional  and  spiritual  life  of 
the  people  and  help  keep  our  democracy 
strong,  in  Pangburn's  view. 


Help  Week-1954  Style 

This  year,  various  organizations  on  the 
Bucknell  campus  have  been  busy  with  proj- 
ects relating  to  a  "Help  Week"  program. 

Their  work  has  been  facilitated  through 
the  Social  Service  Commission  which  has 
been  organized  on  campus  to  form  a  clearing 
house  for  community  service  projects.  The 
purpose  of  this  clearing  house  is  to  receive 
from  community  leaders  descriptions  of  com- 
munity projects  which  they  feel  are  worth- 
while and  to  pass  them  along  to  student  or- 
"nnizations.  Sororities  and  fraternities  have 
done  much  to  undertake  these  civic  projects. 
The  clearing  house  also  gives  an  estimate  of 
the  time  and  material  re(|uircd  for  each  proj- 
ect and  keeps  a  record  of  those  projects  that 
are  in  progress  and  those  that  have  been  com- 
pleted. 

.A.mong  the  projects  which  have  been  un- 
dertaken this  year  by  Bucknell  students  are 
reading  to  shut-ins  in  Lewisburg  and  vicinity, 
sewing  and  menditig  in  the  Lewisburg  Health 
Center,  and  clothing  drives  for  overseas  re- 
lief. The  sororities  and  fraternities  also  held 
their  annual  Christmas  parties  for  the  chil- 
dren in  the  Lewisburg  area. 


He  still  broadcasts  once  a  week,  despite  the 
heavy  burden  of  official  duties.

Lets  Hike  "The 
Four-Mile"  Again 

For  too  many  years  the  old  "Four-AIile" 
has  been  neglected.  Some  say  it  no  longer 
exists.  Though  slightly  changed  in  spots 
by  reason  of  newer  road  construction,  it  still 
exists  and  to  prove  it  a  map  of  the  campus 
with  the  old  "Four-Mile"  drawn  to  scale 
is  shown  on  the  facing  page.  The  map  is 
the  work  of  Richard  B.  Ulp,  a  sophomore, 
of  Xorthumberland,  who  probably  took  the 
tour.  But  Dr.  Dalzell  M.  Griffith  '23,  pro- 
fessor of  civil  engineering,  who  knows  every 
foot  of  the  way.  could  supply  all  the  details 
from  memory. 

The  resulting  map  is  published  for  the 
benefit  of  older  Bucknellians  who  have  made 
the  trip  many  times  and  for  the  newer 
alumni  who  reached  the  campus  after  that 
bus}'  thoroughfare  no  longer  was  used  for 
late  afternoon  "fussing."  Was  the  "Four- 
Mile"  popular?  Well,  we  can  remember 
(in  the  spring  of  1919)  Prexy  Harris,  in 
his  long  black  topcoat  and  derby  hat,  tak- 
ing his  daily  constitutional  around  the  course. 
'Twas  said  he  learned  a  lot  about  college 
students  and  such  on  his  daily  jaunts. 

The  ritual  of  "walking  the  Four-Mile" 
was  flourishing  in  1919.  But  when  did  the 
pleasant  custom  begin?  And  when  did  it 
end  ?  And  why  did  it  end  ?  And  who  has 
a  picture  of  life  on  the  "Four-Mile?"  Any- 
body have  a  picture  of  Dr.  John  H.  Harris 
taken  on  the  hike?  We'd  like  to  publish  it 
for  the  benefit  of  all  alumni. 

Of  course,  the  old  dusty  road  finally  had 
to  give  waj'  to  smooth  macadamized  sur- 
faces but  you  can  still  take  the  walk — or 
ride,  if  you  are  so  inclined.  Better  plan  to 
include  the  tour  in  your  program  when  you 
are  back  for  Alumni  Reunion  Weekend  on 
June  12 — or  the  next  time  you  return  to, 
the  campus — and  make  it  soon ! 

One  of  the  landmarks  you  should  spot 
quickly  is  the  old  willow  tree  and  the  con- 
crete bridge,  with  iron  pipe  railing,  that 
crosses  the  brook.  Both  the  tree  and  the 
bridge  will  be  found  on  Moore  Avenue  op- 
posite the  Christy  Mathewson  Gateway  to 
the  Memorial  Stadium.  'Tis  said  that  one 
of  the  Semites  and  that  second  lieutenant  of 
the  SATC  days  did  some  important  fussing 
at  that  spot.  Well,  you  supply  your  own 
nostalgic  scenes  and  people  them  with  the 
folks  of  your  era. 

An>'way.  there's  a  big  gap  in  the  log  of 
the  old  "Four-Mile"  that  you  can  help  to  fill. 
Can  you  supply  some  of  the  details?  We'd 
welcome  letters  telling  us  some  of  your  ex- 
periences. Just  address  them  to  the  Editor, 
THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS.  If  you 
can't  take  the  time  to  write  a  letter,  please 
clip  the  coui)on  below  and  send  it  in. 


Vou   bet   I'll    help   with   the   "Four-Mile" 
History.     Here  arc  my  answers : 

1.  I  first  walked  the  "Four-Mile"  in

past  achievements  and  future  plans  of  the 
building  program. 

John  "Buck"  Shott,  alumni  secretary, 
talked  briefly  about  the  growth  of  the 
.\lumni  Association  and  the  Alumni  Fund 
and  encouraged  increased  interest  in  the 
local  chapter  among  the  many  Valley 
Alumni.  He  extended  an  invitation  to  the 
celebration  of  class  reunions  and  Alumni 
Day  at  the  campus  on  June  12. 

A  proposal  was  made  by  Michael  Solo- 
mon to  conduct  an  aerial  tour  from 
Wilkes-Barre  to  Lewisburg  in  Maj'.  The 
plan  includes  a  fraternity  luncheon  and  a

tap  dances  by  Angeline  Maminski. 

Throughout  the  dinner  group  singing 
was  led  by  Herbert  Lloyd  '11  and  accom- 
panied by  Reese  Pelton. 

The  affair  was  climaxed  by  the  lighting 
of  the  candles  and  a  birthday  cake  which 
was  the  focal  point  of  the  decorations. 
This  was  done  by  Miss  Claire  Conwaj' 
'OS  and  the  Reverend  Charles  Roush  '09. 
The  singing  of  the  Alma  Mater  closed  the 
ceremony.  Benediction  was  pronounced 
by  the  Reverend  Charles  Roush. 

The  following  committees  and  officers

"Bucknell  as  we  leave  thee 
Thouahtful  seniors  are  we, 
For  the  friendships  weve  made  here  .  .  . 

The  graduating  class  of  1954  leaves  Bucknell,  not  as 
separate  individuals,  but  as  a  group  of  friends  who  have 
oained  much  from  associations  in  campus  activities  and  in 
contacts  with  the  faculty  and  administration. 

They  leave  behind  a  part  of  the  Bucknell  Family,  but 
enter  the  world  where  many  alumni  have  gone  before.  With 
this  graduating  class  go  the  friendshi'ps  they  have  made  here. 


"Bucknell  as  we  leave  thee 

May  we  never  forget 

For  the  knowledge  we've  gained  here  .  .  ." 

The  graduating  class  of  1954  has  realized  that  knowledge 
comes  not  onlv  from  a  classroom,  but  from  participation  in 
all  phases  of  campus  life.  They  have  found  that  desire  for 
knowledge  increases  ever  with  the  acquisition  of  it  and 
pleasure  is  derived  from  putting  that  knowledge  to  use. 

-The  class  of  1954  accepts  the  challenge  to  use  the

The  Fimctioniiig  of  the  Men's 
Student  Assembly 

Bv  ToHX  F.  Chironna  '55,  President    ■ 


(Editor's  Note) — A  number  of  altcmpts 
luiz'e  been  made  to  set  up  a  student  organisa- 
tion for  the  men  on  the  Buekuell  eainpiis  to 
perform  the  functions  that  the  IVoinen's 
Student  Government  Association  does  for 
the  coeds.  The  program  of  student  govern- 
ment on  Bucknell's  campus  has  needed  sucli 
an  organisation  to  zi'ork  under  the  direction 
of  the  Student  Faculty  Congress  zvhich  is  the 
overall  group  composed  of  students,  faculty 
and  administration.  We  are  glad  to  report 
that  in  1953  the  Men's  Student  Assembly 
came  into  being  and  icc  believe  you  ici7/  be 
interested  in  this  report  of  the  activities  un- 
dertaken thus  far  by  the  nezu  organisation. 

Last  May  13.  1953,  nine  Bucknell  students 
solemnly  stood  in  Chapel  waiting  to  be  sworn 
in  as  members  of  the  Men's  Student  Council. 
The  inauguration  of  these  gentlemen  marked 
the  initial  step  in  the  organization  and  func- 
tion of  the  Men's  Student  Assembly,  a  gov- 
erning-body formulated  strictly  for  the  male 
students.  After  several  previous  attempts  to 
create  such  an  organization,  the  desires  of 
the  administration  and  students  for  such  a 
governmental  body  were  finally  consummated. 

The  authority  and  functions  of  the  M.  S.  A. 
were  formulated  principally  by  former  male 
student  officers  of  the  institution  with  assis- 
tance from  the  administration.  The  men 
composed  the  Constitution,  which  is  the  sole 
governing  body  of  the  group.  Based  on  the 
structure  of  the  Federal  Government,  the 
Assembh-  is  divided  into  two  sections :  the 
House  of  Representatives  and  the  Council. 
The  members  of  the  House  of  Representa- 
tives express  the  opinions  and  grievances  of 
the  male  populace.  Every  fraternity,  all 
dormitory  floors,  the  non-fraternity  men,  the 
commuters,  and  Bucknell  Village  are  equally 
represented.  The  Coimcil  operates  through 
nine  students  annually  elected  by  the  entire 
male  student  body.  This  Council,  the  more 
influential  of  the  two  sections,  reserves  the 
right  to  veto  or  accept  any  action  of  the 
House.  Through  its  meetings  the  problems 
and  controversies  of  the  male  student  govern- 
ment are  solved. 

The  M.  S.  A.  deals  with  problems  of  every 
nature.  At  the  moment  the  subject  of  the 
use  and  possession  of  automobiles  at  Bucknell 
is  being  debated.  In  the  past,  the  authoriza- 
tion of  automobile  permits  was  strictly  an 
administrative  rcspoasibility.  Now  the 
.M.  S.  A.  is  collecting  data  and  statistics  in 
an  effort  to  formulate  a  new  policy  which 


will  be  acceptable  to  the  faculty,  the  admin- 
istration, and  tlie  students. 

Another  project  of  the  organization  deals 
with  the  permission  to  sell  refreshments  in 
the  dormitories.  Though  the  privilege  of 
selling  any  article  in  the  dormitory  demands 
the  approval  of  the  Dean  of  Men,  the  pleas 
of  the  male  students  were  heard  with  refer- 
ence to  this  problem,  and  acted  upon  by  the 
M.  S.  A.  These,  along  with  numerous  other 
controversial  questions,  are  continuously  be- 
ing reviewed  and  discussed  for  the  best  in- 
terest of  the  men. 

The  M.  S.  A.  was  formulated  to  uphold 
the  interest  and  welfare  of  the  men.  This 
is  clearly  illustrated  by  the  recent  disciplinary 
action  taken  by  the  Council.  Two  male  Buck- 
nell students  were  confronted  with  disorderly 
conduct  charges.  The  Council  was  invited  to 
try  this  case.  After  hearing  the  statements 
of  the  two  men,  the  Council  reviewed  the 
situation  at  great  length.  After  very  careful 
and  detailed  consideration  of  the  factors  in- 
volved, the  Council  members  established  an 
appropriate  punishment  for  the  offense.  Pre- 
senting the  verdict  to  the  Administration  and 
explaining  the  reasons  for  their  decision,  the 
Administration  Disciplinary  Committee 
unanimously  accepted  the  plan.  The  M.  S.  A. 
broke  all  precedent  by  administrating  this 
disciplinary  case,  and  having  its  decision  and 
recommendations  accepted  in  full  by  the  Ad- 
ministration. This  undoubtedly  signifies  the 
importance  this  newly-formed  organization 
has  on  the  campus.  It  is  evident  that  the 
interests  and  welfare  of  the  male  students  in 
disciplinary  matters  of  this  type  will  be  given 
careful  consideration  by  the  M.  S.  A. 

The  Assembly  conducted  a  semi-formal 
dance  and  dormitory  open-house  in  April. 
The  dance,  featuring  a  prominent  orchestra 
and  to  which  faculty  and  administration 
members  were  cordially  invited,  was  sched- 
uled for  Saturday  night,  April  10,  with  the 
open-house  following  it  the  next  day.  The 
open-house  is  another  first  for  the  M.  S.  A. 
Never  before  have  the  men's  dormitories 
been  open  for  inspection  by  the  Bucknell 
coeds.  The  members  of  the  Men's  Council 
and  the  House  of  Representatives  acted  as 
official  hosts,  while  the  officers  of  the  W.  S. 
G.  A.  served  refreshincnts  in  Roberts  Hall. 
Through  both  the  dance  and  the  open-house, 
the  M.  S.  A.  is  striving  for  the  recognition 
which  it  so  rightly  deserves  as  it  empliasizes 
a  greater  all-college  participation  in  social 
events,  and  strives  for  a  unity  of  effort  and 
spirit  among  the  male  student  body,  and  a 
mutual  understanding  among  all  students, 
faculty,  and  administration.

Sharon 

A  .short  notice  meeting  was  held  at  She- 
nango  Inn,  Sharon  on  April  28  to  confer 
w.th  liuck  Shotl,  alinnni  secretary,  on  futuri' 
club  activities.  Ira  G.  I'ox  '.W  was  chosen 
chairman  of  the  local  group  to  plan  for  a 
reception  for  present  ajid  prospective  students 
and  their  parents  in  late  summer  and  to

rence in  I'ennsylvania  and  Mahoning  Cnunty 
in  fJhio  in  celebration  of  Bucknell's  l()''lli 
Birthday  in  February  If.S.S. 


May  Day  Program 

"The  Greatest  Show  On  Earth"  was  pre- 
sented May  8  in  Davis  Gym  as  the  annual 
May  Day  program.  Afembers  of  Orchesis, 
modern  dance  club,  and  the  apprentice  mod- 
ern dance  organization  combined  their  talents 
to  make  the  1954  event  one  of  the  most 
unique  and  unusual  programs  of  this  kind. 

The  big  moment  of  tliis  entertaining  and 
exciting  day  was  the  crowning  of  Dottie  Di- 
Orio,  as  May  Queen  by  last  year's  queen, 
Sally  Spencer.  Members  of  the  queen's  court, 
elected  on  the  basis  of  service,  personality, 
and  leadership  were ;  Jo  Anthony,  Judy  Es- 
may,  Nancy  Green,  Fran  Harvey,  Slurley 
Hess,  Jackie  Jolly,  Jackie  Long,  Dottie 
Masemer,  Pat  McColl,  Jay  Nides,  Diane  Sli- 
fer,  Alice  Rhoads. 

In  keeping  with  the  circus  custom,  a  grand 
parade  of  the  entire  cast  preceded  the  main 
show.  Here  were  seen  the  acrobats,  animals, 
sideshow  girls,  and  clowns,  all  dressed  in 
appropriate  costumes. 

Following  the  parade  was  the  big  show  in 
which  the  acrobats  exhibited  their  agility  and 
skill.  Then  came  the  animal  trainer  cracking 
her  whip  at  the  "ferocious"  animals — a  lion, 
tiger,  and  monkeys ;  in  another  circus  ring- 
was  a  snake  charmer  who  mystified  everyone 
with  her  magic  powers  over  a  "terrible" 
snake. 

Between  acts,  the  Women's  Glee  Club  pre- 
sented a  short  concert.  In  the  second  half  of 
the  program,  four  clowns  danced  after  which 
a  juggler  and  six  midgets  became  the  center 
of  attraction.  The  sideshow  entertainers 
were  as  popular  as  ever,  particularly  with 
the  men !  After  the  hilarious  "Punch  and 
Judy"  show,  an  original  May  Pole  Dance 
was  performed  by  the  clowns. 

In  charge  of  the  music  for  the  program 
were  Miss  Helen  E.  Kleinfelter,  director  of 
the  Women's  Glee  Club,  and  Allen  W.  Flock, 
director  of  the  band.  Nancy  Barnes  was 
student  dance  manager  and  Pat  Groff  was  in 
cliarge  of  costumes.  WAA  conducted  the 
May  Queen  elections.

Football — 1953 

After  an  impressive  35-18  victory  over 
Buffalo  University  in  the  season's  opener,  the 
Herd  lost  the  key  to  success  and  could  not 
open  the  gates  of  victory  during  its  next 
eight  games.  Two  of  the  eight  losses,  how- 
ever, were  by  two  touchdowns,  another  two 
games  were  lost  by  one  touchdown  and  a  fifth 
contest  was  dropped  by  the  slim  margin  of 
one  point.  The  graduation  of  Brad  Myers 
and  Burt  Talmage,  the  "touchdown  twins" 
on  the  1951  and  '52  teams,  coupled  with  the 
scholastic  ineligibility  of  Ed  Adams,  Bill 
Cody  and  Tom  O'Brien,  three  backs  Coach 
Lawrence  had  counted  upon  to  replace  the 
Myers-Talmage  punch,  proved  to  be  the 
straw  that  broke  the  Bison's  back. 

Lawrence,  in  looking  for  backfield  strength, 
shifted  his  aggressive  right  guard,  Jolm 
Chironna  to  halfback.  Chironna  averaged 
3.4  yards  per  try  and  scored  two  touchdowns 
in  four  games,  but  his  absence  from  the  front 
wall  was  soon  felt  and  he  was  shifted  back 
to  his  guard  slot.  Ron  Hendricks,  C|uarter- 
back,  heaved  62  passes  and  completed  20  for 
a  12.8  yard  average  per  completion.  Center 
Paul  Ganz  received  recognition  from  the 
Eastern  Intercollegiate  Football  Association 
as  one  of  the  "unsung  heroes"  on  the  1953 
gridiron. 


Football — 1954 

Five  letterwinning  backs  will  return  to  the 
Bucknell  gridiron  this  season.  Heading  the 
list  is  Bob  Ford  '56,  Collingswood,  N.  J., 
who  barrelled  his  way  for  360  yards  last 
year  for  a  five  yard  average  per  try.  Bob 
Sierer  '56,  Wiconisco,  was  right  behind  Ford 
with  a  4.5  average  per  try.  Hendricks  '56. 
Perkasie,  and  Bill  Hollister  '56,  Short  Hills, 
N.  J.,  both  of  whom  snapped  tLe  ball  in  the 
backfield  last  season,  will  be  returning  to 
resume  their  signal  calling  duties. 

Chironna  '55,  Westfield,  N.  J.,  a  guard, 
will  head  the  list  of  ten  letterwinning  line- 
men. Ends  Jack  Flurer  '55,  Columbus,  N.  J., 
Bob  Antkowiak  '55,  Baltimore,  Md.,  Rich 
Klaber  '55,  Mt.  Lebanon,  and  Ken  Tashjy 
'55,  Palisades  Park,  N.  J.,  should  cement  the 
terminals  of  the  line.  Center  Roy  Gavert 
'55,  Wilkinsburg,  guards  Hank  Popek  '55, 
Philadelphia,  and  Jack  Winebrenner  '55, 
Baltimore,  Md.,  and  tackles  Ron  Lloyd  '55, 
Forty  Fort,  and  Marion  Minker  '56,  Towson, 
Md.,  should  strengthen  the  middle  of  the 
front  wall. 

Sophomore  Don  Koppes  '57,  Basking 
Ridge,  N.  J.,  looks  like  a  hard-charging,  high- 
stepping  halfback  who  may  strengthen  the 
"weak  link  backfield."  George  Klauder  '55, 
Pliiladelphia,  who  averaged  4.7  yards  per  try 
last  season,  should  provide  depth  at  the  full- 
back position.  Gregory  Blyler  '57,  Leonia, 
N.  J.,  a  sophomore  tackle  who  tips  the  scales 
at  260,  should  provide  the  line  with  beef  as 
well  as  strength  and  speed  and  Henry  Owen 

14 


'56,  Lewisburg,  looks  like  he  is  slated  to  see 
plenty  of  action  backing  up  the  line. 

Coach  Lawrence  feels  that  if  he  doesn't 
lose  too  many  men  through  injuries,  there 
will  definitely  be  some  improvement  over  last 
season's  record.  Lawrence  also  feels  tliat 
last  year's  freshman  squad  was  not  too  strong 
but  should  add  some  depth  to  the  1954  varsity 
eleven. 


Co-ed  Sports  Siininiary 

Girls'  sports  on  the  Bucknell  campus  this 
year  were  many  and  varied,  offering  oppor- 
tunities for  girls  interested  in  almost  every 
type  of  athletic  activity.  The  success  of  the 
athletic  program  was  due  to  the  competent 
job  done  by  the  Women's  Athletic  Associa- 
tion. This  year  WAA  was  under  the  capa- 
ble leadership  of  Janet  Wilt  '55,  Drexel  Hill. 
Assisting  her  were  vice  president,  Virginia 
Wightman  '55,  Glen  Rock.  N.  J. ;  secretary, 
Anne  Tuckerman  '54,  Media  and  treasurer, 
Jean  Uhler  '56,  York. 

Hockey  practice  began  almost  immediately 
after  the  girls  returned  to  campus.  In  the 
first  play  day  at  Juniata  the  Bucknell  team 
won  two  games,  lost  one,  and  tied  one.  On 
October  13,  the  All  College  Tournament  was 
held  at  Lebanon  Valley.  From  Bucknell 
Barbara  Glenn  (captain)  '56,  Greenville.  S. 
C,  Carol  Getz  '56,  Glen  Mills,  Jo  Lower  '57, 
Westtown,  and  Barbara  Folk  '57,  Merion, 
were  selected  to  play  on  the  first  team,  and 
Fran  Derby  '54,  Baltimore,  Md.,  Martha 
Green  '57.  Drexel  Hill,  and  Connie  Hamil- 
ton '57,  Downingtown,  were  chosen  to  play 
on  the  second  team. 

Diane  Slifer  '54,  Woodbury,  N.  J.,  pulled 
through  to  win  the  tennis  championship, 
while  Sally  Roop  '57,  Baltimore,  Md..  came 
out  on  top  to  take  the  badminton  singles. 

Interclass  volleyball  competition  began  in 
November  with  the  Sophomores  winning  on 
an  undefeated  record,  followed  by  intergroup 
contests.  Delta  Delta  Delta  tied  the  Inde- 
pendents for  first  place  but  were  defeated  in' 
the  finals  by  the  non-sorority  team. 

After  an  exciting  tournament  the  Sopho- 
mores won  the  interclass  basketball  cham- 
pionship with  only  one  defeat.  Intergroup 
basketball  was  won  by  the  Alpha  Chi 
Omega's  after  defeating  the  Kappa  Delta's  in 
the  finals.  In  bowling  the  Independent  team 
was  the  winner  of  the  intergroup  tournament. 
Fourteen  girls  also  participated  in  the  Na- 
tional Intercollegiate  Bowling  Tournament 
held  at  Penn  State. 

In  competition  with  other  colleges  the 
Bucknell  girls  did  very  well  this  year.  At 
Susquehanna  on  February  13  the  basketball 
team  won  their  first  game  with  Susquehanna 
and  went  on  to  beat  Lock  Haven,  who  had 
until  this  time  been  undefeated  at  any  of  the 
previous  play  days.  On  February  27,  at  the 
Lycoming  play  day  Bucknell  took  first  place 
in  both  swimming  and  basketball  and  placed 


third  in  badminton  and  bowling.  At  the  play 
day  at  State  College  the  swimming  team  won 
the  swimming  meet  and  Sally  Roop  '57,  Bal- 
timore, Md..  came  out  first  in  the  singles  bad- 
minton tournament.  The  basketball  team  won 
one  game  and  lost  one. 

In  the  midst  of  the  many  athletic  activities, 
Orchesis,  the  modern  dance  club,  was  kept 
busy.  At  Christmas  they  performed  for  the 
Linntown  Parent-Teachers'  Association  and 
gave  a  concert  with  the  Women's  Glee  Club. 
This  year  the  entire  May  Day  program  was 
put  on  by  the  modern  dance  group. 


Spring  Sports 


Baseball,  track,  tennis  and  golf  occupied 
the  athletic  spotlight  during  spring  on  the 
300  acres.  Coach  Bill  Lane's  baseball  team, 
led  by  the  sensational  pitching  of  Don  Rich- 
ards, won  its  opener  from  Susquehanna  5-4. 
A  week  later,  the  Bison  nine  tied  Navy  1-1. 
Tom  King  hurled  Bucknell  to  an  8-5  triumph 
over  Scranton  in  the  next  game.  Franklin 
and  Marshall  finally  turned  the  tide  and  upset 
the  Orange  and  Blue  hurlers  7-6  shortly  be- 
fore Spring  Recess ;  however,  Bucknell 
bounced  back  after  the  recess  and  outclassed 
Susquehanna  for  the  second  time.  On  this 
occasion,  Richards  blanked  the  Crusaders 
3-0  on  three  hits.  Juniata  turned  the  tables 
on  the  Bisons  two  days  later,  squeaking  by 
with  a  6-5  decision ;  however.  Coach  Lane's 
n'ne  bounced  back  once  more  and  shellacked 
Albright  12-1. 

Coach  Bus  Blum's  mile-relay  team  opened 
the  1954  track  season  in  the  annual  Penn  Re- 
lays, but  placed  "out  of  the  money."  The 
team,  as  a  whole,  did  not  see  action  until 
May  1  when  it  thumped  Muhlenberg  84-42. 
Harold  Smith,  Frank  Vanderhoof,  Red 
Macauley  and  Ed  Burg  led  the  Bison  scoring-

honored  by  the  Fairbanks  Chamber  of

Bunnell  struggled  to  keep  the  Univer- 
sity (now  32  years  old)  alive  during 
the  dark  days  of  its  establishment.  Said 
Dr.  Patty,  "I  saw  Dr.  Bunnell  build  the 
University  on  a  firm  foundation  witli 
high  standards.  I  saw  him  stretch  dol- 
lars and  meet  problems  with  courage, 
skill  and  finesse.  There  were  times 
when  it  was  nip  and  tuck  whether 
forces  that  would  discontinue  the  in- 
stitution would  win  or  not.  There  were 
times  when  a  lesser  man  would  have 
quit."

Greetings  to  1903  classmates.  It  has 
been  evident  that  the  deep  interest  and 
warmth  of  feeling  for  our  alma  mater 
that  was  rekindled  by  the  cordial  invi- 
tation from  the  University  to  attend 
the  50th  anniversary  of  our  class  has 
continued  throughout  the  year.  Those 
who  were  fortunate  enough  to  be  pres- 
ent will  never  forget  how  each  one 
was  able  to  enter  into  the  old  friend- 
ships just  as  they  were  50  or  more 
years  ago.  Those  unable  to  come  have 
found  real  pleasure  in  hearing  from 
and  about  their  old  friends.  Keep  the 
news  items  coming  in,  tell  us  about  your 
interests,  civic  and  church  activities, 
politics,    careers,    grandchildren,    etc. 

Col.  A.  F.  Dershimer  and  wife  have 
returned  to  their  home  after  a  winter

that  we  all  lived  near  enough  to  do 
that! 

Jay  Bond  will  also  be  a  visitor  at 
commencement  time.  We  shall  expect 
to  hear  reports  from  botli  these  class-

After  teaching  12  years  at  Purdue 
University,  Charles  C.  Wagner  has 
taken  a  position  in  an  industrial  labora- 
tory in  Hammond,  Ind.  We're  glad  to 
get  this  news  about  Wag.  He  has  three 
sons  and  one  daughter,  one  son  just 
back  from  Army  service.  He  has  out- 
done some  of  us  with  four  grandchil- 
dren. (Why  don't  some  of  you  other 
guys  report  on  the  third  generation?) 

Again  the  grim  reaper.  J.  Harry 
Schuch  died  suddenly  on  February  18th. 
He  had  worked  the  day  before  but  be- 
came violently  ill  on  the  18th  and  died 
almost  immcdialcl.y. 

McMiibers  of  the  class  will  rciiieinbcr 
Harry  as  one  of  the  most  choerl'ul  of 
our  mates.  He  was  one  of  Bill  Raker's 
"Lycoming  County  Gang",  his  home 
having  been  at  Cogan  Station.  After 
taking  his  degree  with  us  in  civil  en- 
gineering, he  was  for  two  years  with 
the  Bessemer  and  Lake  Erie  R.  R.  at 

15 


Greenville;  thence  he  moved  to  Lin- 
coln, Neb.,  with  the  C.  B.  and  Q.  After 
two  years  there  he  went  to  Montana, 
where  for  years  he  was  with  the  Butte, 
Anaconda,  and  Pacific.  In  1933  he  went 
for  a  short  term  to  the  FERA,  the  U.  S. 
Forest  Service  and  U.  S.  Public  Works 
Administration,  as  resident  engineer  at 
Helena.  In  June  1940  he  joined  the 
Anaconda  Copper  Mining  Co.  doing 
civil  engineering  and  maintenance 
work. 

In  1915  he  married  Nellie  G.  Daniels. 
They  have  two  daughters,  Kathryn  and 
Marilyn,  and  at  last  reports  from  Harry 
these  daughters  were  still  in  Helena. 

Always  loyal  to  the  class,  Harry  was 
unable  to  get  back  for  a  reunion  before 
that  of  1947,  where  he  was  warmly 
welcomed.  In  his  later  years  he  was 
an  elder  of  the  Presbyterian  Church, 
a  very  devout  Christian.  His  going 
leaves  another  large  gap  in  our  thin- 
ning ranks.  He  had  hoped  to  be  back 
for  our  fiftieth  reunion;  he  will  be  with 
us  in  spirit. 

Ada  Moore  Snider  r07  died  in  Farm- 
ington,  Missouri,  October  10,  1953.  Ruth 
Shorkley  Bliss  '05,  who  reported  her 
passing,  says,  "Ada  Moore  was  a  'town* 
girl  who  lived  for  a  year  with  mother 
and  me  and  for  a  year  with  the  Shields 
family.  She  had  come  to  Bucknell  from 
St.  Clair,  Mo.;  she  was  a  grandchild 
of  James  Moore  III,  the  only  one  of 
his  grandchildren  to  be  educated  at 
Bucknell. 

"After  teaching  home  economics  for 
some  time  at  Caruthersville,  Mo.,  she 
married  George  Burette  Snider  and 
made  their  home  in  Farmington.  She 
is  sui'vived  by  three  children:  George 
Burette,  Jr.,  Schenectady,  N.  Y.;  Mrs. 
Charles  Neel,  Benton,  Ark.;  and  Miss 
Ellen  Snider,  St.  Louis,  as  well  as  by 
three  grandchildren. 

"Mrs.  Snider  had  been  active  in 
church  and  civic  club  life,  while  at  the 
same  time  devoted  to  home  and  family. 
She  was  a  worthy  daughter  of  Buck- 
nell and  a  worthy  granddaughter  of  its 
founder."

In  his  most  recent  letter  from  Burma, 
Dr.  E.  Carroll  Condict  '08,  A.M.  '11, 
D.D.  '35,  reports  that  with  nine  more 
teeth  "outened"  he  will  bring  to  16,000 
the  total  of  "painless"  extractions  dur- 
ing his  42  years  of  service  in  the  Bur- 
ma mission  field.  Bucknellians  will  be 
happy  to  learn  that  Carroll  is  at  work 
'on  the  final  touches  of  the  translation 
of  the  Bible,  after  which  he  will  re- 
turn to  America  and  make  his  home

Mrs.  Dana  Bower  Haines  writes  in 
regard  to  our  45th  reunion,  announce- 
ments of  which  reached  her  in  Costa 
Rica,  where  she  is  visiting.  She  writes, 
"Mae  Jones  McGuire  wrote  me  the 
news  of  all  you  loyal  '08ers.  It  must 
have  been  a  grand  bunch.  Put  me  down 
for  the  golden  jubilee  in  1958.  I'U  be 
there  with  bells  on."  At  the  end  of  her 
letter  she  said,  "Did  Mae  tell  you  I 
have  eight  grandchildren?"  Mae  Jones 
McGuire  is  our  best  promoter  for  our 
50th  anniversary.  From  several  voices 
have  come  the  words,  "I  have  heard 
from  Mae  news  of  the  45th."  Keep  up 
the  good  work,  Mae.

WILFUL  WINTER 

Some  people  call  April  a  wild  wanton  maid 
And  think  of  the  winter  as  adult  and  staid. 

But  I  think  of  Winter  as  no  such  meek  thing, 
For  she  is  as  freakish  and  moody  as  spring. 

A  lacy  white  mantle  she'll  wear  in  the  blue 

Of  a  sparkling  cold  day  and  go  flirting  with  you. 

Or  may  choose  tiaras  of  diamonds  to  wear, 
Charmiiigly  balanced  on  dirty  black  hair. 

She'll  weep  for  a  week  with  her  icy  cold  tears. 
Or  blow  with  a  breath  that  can  shave  off  your  ears 

A  shower  of  snowflakes  she'll  fling  in  your  face 
Her  jealous  flnale  as  spring  takes  her  place. 

— Mabel  Doyle. 


Isn't  the  countryside  beautiful  dur- 
ing April?  The  forsythia,  magnolia, 
dog- wood,  japonica;  then  the  lovely 
narcissi,  jonquils,  baby  irises,  and  tu- 
lips. My,  I  wish  I  hadn't  a  care  in 
the  world  but  travel  around  at  this  time 
of  the  year! 

Had  a  card  from  Matt  and  Olive  Long 

Haggerty  '09  who  were  vacationing  in 
St.  Petersburg,  Fla.,  for  a  couple  of 
months.  Then  cards  from  the  Frank 
Heans  and  the  Roy  Mikles  '10,  who 
were  also  basking  in  the  sun  in  Flori- 
da. One  card  read:  "Stopped  in  your 
town.  Roy  and  I  thought  of  you.  The 
town  might  be  improved  by  your  pres- 
ence; otherwise  it  is  no  metropolis." 
Roy  and  Frank,  about  that  time  I  was 
seeing  red.  I  thought  the  bums  en- 
joying themselves,  then  stopping  in 
Muncy  and  not  even  coming  around  to 
say  "hello."  When  I  turned  the  card 
over  the  town  was  Callahan,  Fla.  I 
just  sort  of  chuckled  to  myself. 

Four  grandchildren  were  acquired 
during  a  period  of  four  months  by  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  A.  Cleveland  Conner  (Alberta 
Bronson),  271  Linwood  Ave.,  Ardmore. 
Their  daughter,  Doris,  now  Mrs.  Frank 
Andress,  Jr.,  Abington,  Va.,  gave  birth 
to  a  son,  born  August  28.  Their  daugh- 
ter, Kathleen,  now  Mrs.  Robert  Orr, 
Houston,  Texas,  had  a  daughter  exact- 
ly one  month  later,  on  September  28. 
Next,  their  son,  Dr.  Arthur  Bronson 
Conner  of  Central  College,  Pella,  Iowa, 
who  married  the  former  Carol  Norton, 
Beatrice,  Nev.,  became  the  father  of  a 
daughter  on  December  5.  That  same 
month  on  Christmas  Day,  to  be  exact, 
the  Conners  daughter,  Phyllis,  now 
Mrs.  Charles  McKnight,  Bloomfield,  N. 
J.,  gave  birth  to  a  daughter.  And  here's 
a  footnote.  Doris  and  Phyllis  are  twin 
sisters,  and  Kathleen  is  the  twin  sis- 
ter of  Capt.  Kenneth  Conner  now  sta- 
tioned at  New  Castle  Air  Base  after 
having  served  recently  with  the  Far 
Eastern  Air  Force.  The  five  Conner 
children  mentioned  together  with  their 
sister,  Anita  Derry  of  West  Orange, 
N.  J.  are  all  six  graduates  of  Lower 
Merlon  High  School. 

I  don't  have  that  kind  of  a  record  but 
I  can  announce  a  precious  granddaugh- 
ter, Debra  Callahan,  born  February  10.

It  is  with  regret,  but  nevertheless 
with  deep  pride,  that  we  record  the 
death  of  Paul  Althouse,  a  native  of 
Reading,  who  scaled  the  heights  of  his 
profession  as  an  opera  singer,  became  a 
leading  tenor  in  the  Metropolitan  Op- 
era Co.,  won  acclaim  in  other  lands,  but 
never  became  too  big  to  remember  the 
friends  of  his  youth  and  enjoy  others 
companionship  on  those  occasions  when 
time  permitted  him  to  visit  his  home 
town. 

Everyone  recognized  the  talent  and 
artistry  of  Paul  Althouse.  But  those 
who  were  his  intimates  never  ceased 
to  love  him  as  a  human  being  who,  al- 
though great  in  the  eyes  of  the  musical 
world,  never  lost  the  common  touch 
nor  valued  fame  above  friendship.  Long 
after  his  magnificent  voice  won  him 
world  acclaim,  Paul  Althouse  continued 
to  seek  the  society  of  less  talented  asso- 
ciates with  whom  he  had  been  reared. 
Neither  the  plaudits  of  the  crowd  nor 
the  endorsement  of  critics  seemed  to 
give  him  the  full  satisfaction  that  he 
enjoyed  by  visiting  and  cooperating 
with  the  "boys"  who  played  less  glam- 
orous roles  in  private  life. 

Genial,  friendly,  democratic  Paul 
was.  Permitted  only  64  years  of  life, 
he  will  continue  to  live  as  a  pleasant 
and  tender  memory  in  the  minds  of 
those  of  us  who  watched  and  rejoiced 
in  his  mounting  achievements  and  in 
the  recorded  annals  of  the  musical 
world. 

It  would  be  impossible  to  complete 
even  a  brief  tribute  to  Paul  Althouse 
without  mentioning  the  name  of  Miss 
Evelyn  Essick,  another  outstanding  na- 
tive of  Reading,  who,  as  a  young  teach- 
er of  music,  "discovered"  Paul  as  a  boy 
and  more  than  any  other  individual 
guarded  and  developed  his  voice  and 
launched  him  on  the  road  that  led  to 
success.  Miss  Essick  survives  her  fa- 
mous protege  and  it  is  gratifying  to  be 
able  to  thank  her  for  the  great  gift 
she  made  to  Reading  and  the  world. 

I  think  I  knew  Paul  quite  well  even 
though  he  was  only  with  us  for  the  fall 
term  of  our  freshman  year.  He  called 
on  me  at  my  home  in  Montoursville.  He 
was  my  escort  at  our  freshman  banquet 
at  the  Hotel  Graeman  in  Shamokin. 
I  remember  the  banquet  was  Monday 
evening.  I  suppose  school  was  officially 
opened  that  day  because  "Ma"  Bush 
was  our  chaperon.  Helen  Levegood 
Clarke,  Ruby  Stuck  O'Leary,  Violet 
Wetterau  Nauman,  Alberta  Bronson 
Conner,  Ada  Brooks  Nancarrow  and  I 
danced  with  the  boys.  I  danced  with 
Paul.  It,  of  course,  was  against  the 
rules  of  the  University  to  dance  with 
men  during  school  hours  so  "Ma"  Bush 
reported  us  and  we  were  put  on  cam- 
pus for  six  weeks.  When  I  think  of  it 
I  don't  see  how  the  "old  lady"  rests 
in  her  grave.  We  weren't  allowed  to 
cut  a  class,  go  down  to  Mrs.  Huths,  play 
sick  by  crawling  into  bed  and  having 
the  maid  bring  us  toast  and  tea,  had 
to  be  on  time  for  every  meal.  I  wasn't 
even  allowed  to  go  home  over  the  week 
U)  get  some  fresh  air  and  I  only  lived 
30  miles  from  the  school.  I  wonder 
what  this  generation  would  do  if  they 
had  such  rules? 

Thi.s  wa.s  quite  a  sensible  thought  that 
I  copied  from  the  church  bulletin  this 
pa.sl  Sunday: 

'■E»<tCT  l>  .-jvcf.  but  your  love  tor  Chrlxt  iihould

the  year.     We   are   to    go   into   all   the   world   and 
preach  the  gospel.    Are  you  doing  that?" 

May  9th — Most  of  the  good  things  in 
this  life  come  to  us  in  two's  and  three's, 
dozens  and  hundreds — plenty  of  roses, 
stars,  sunsets,  rainbows,  brothers,  sis- 
ters, aunts,  uncles,  friends,  and  good 
neighbors — but  why  only  one  mother 
in  all  this  wide  world.  Two  legs  of  our 
journey  are  over — only  three  more 
rounds  until  our  45th.  Do  you  think 
you  will  make  it?

Early  in  March  Jane  Irey  Rees  tele- 
phoned to  me  from  her  home  in  Dan- 
ville saying  that  she  was  moving  to 
Miami,  Florida,  to  establish  permanent 
residence.  Her  address  is  1510  S.  W. 
14th  St.,  and  her  telephone  number 
2-4736.  She  invited  classmates  and  col- 
lege friends  to  call  if  they  happen  to  be 
in  her  southern  city.  Jane  has  one  son 
living  in  Ajo,  Arizona.  It  was  a  real  joy 
to  have  these  few  moments  of  conver- 
sation with  her,  but  I  was  sorry  to 
know  that  she  will  be  far  from  Lewis- 
burg  and  easy  visits  there.  All  class- 
mates, I  know,  wish  you  health  and 
contentment  in  your  new  environment,

The  class  extends  sincere  sympathy 
to  Anne  Dreisbach  Henderson  in  the

than  have  the  year's  final  ALUMNUS 
go  to  press  with  no  mention  of  '23.

The  Frontz  Boys — LeRoy.  Jr.;  Edward;  Richard 

First,  I  have  three  sons,  LeRoy,  Jr.,  a 
freshman  at  Antioch  this  year;  Edward 
hopes  to  be  in  at  Bucknell  come  this 
fall  and  Richard  is  a  junior  at  Watson- 
town  High  School. 

As  for  myself,  I  have  been  enjoying 
a  revival  of  some  musical  activity  do- 
ing  some   accompanying   for   a   choral 

18 


group  and  having  some  private  piano 
pupils. 

After  years  of  service  with  state  and 
federal  governments  in  Pennsylvania 
and  states  of  the  Middle  West,  my  hus- 
band, a  forester  by  profession,  is  deep- 
ly interested  in  operating  a  small  farm 
and  nursery  on  the  principles  of  organ- 
iculture  here  in  Pennsylvania's  beauti- 
ful White  Deer  Valley.  Our  praises  of 
rural  living  are  long  and  loud.  One  of 
my  hobbies  and  greatest  pleasures  is 
birding — and  I  need  not  leave  the  farm 
to  pursue  it.  With  a  creek  on  one  side, 
mountains  on  the  other,  and  lots  of 
trees  all  around  it  is  a  "natural"  for 
birds.  Incidentally,  I  go  to  meetings 
of  the  Bucknell  Ornithological  Society. 
Our  dear  Dr.  Stewart  is  always  there 
too  (and  don't  think  of  him  as  "old" 
either,  for  he  definitely  is  not).  He  is 
the  life  of  the  meetings. 

Putting  the  preceding  down  on  paper 
seemed  to  have  the  salutary  effect  of

re-elected  as  director  of  the  Middle  At- 
lantic Lumbermen's  Association.  He

that  he  missed  the  reunion  last  year 
only  because  he  went  to  Paris  to  the 
Rotary  Convention.  He  hopes  to  get 
back  to  the  campus  for  Alumni  Day

Have  you  all  sent  in  your  Alumni 
Fund  gifts?  Less  than  a  month  remains 
in  this  fund  year  and  every  little  bit 
counts.  Gene  Carstater,  our  class  fund 
manager,  reminds  us  that  at  one  time 
or  another  during  the  life  of  the  fund 
seventy  different  members  of  our  class 
or  28%  of  the  survivors  have  made  one 
or  more  gifts  to  the  fund.  Your  con- 
tribution should  be  sent  directly  to  the 
Alumni  Fund.  Gene  is  head  of  the 
training  research  branch  of  the  per- 
sonnel analysis  division.  Bureau  of  Na- 
val Personnel.  Since  graduation  he 
has  earned  his  Ph.D.  in  education. 

Of  the  248  members  of  the  Class  of 
1926  still  on  the  rolls,  20  had  contrib- 
uted to  the  Alumni  Frmd  by  March  15 
for  the  1953-1954  Fund  year.  Fifty 
additional  members  of  the  class  have 
made  contributions  in  one  or  more  of 
the  previous  Fund  years.  If  all  these 
remember  to  send  in  their  contribu- 
tions before  June  30,  the  class  will 
reach  a  participation  record  of  28.2%. 

The  class  is  scattered  among  23  states, 
one  territory,  the  District  of  Columbia, 
and  Italy.  'The  percentage  of  participa- 
tion by  states  varies  all  the  way  from 
0  to  100,  but  only  three  of  the  states 
have  enough  '26ers  to  make  the  per- 
centage significant.  Since  the  estab- 
lishment of  the  Fund,  37  of  the  119 
members  living  in  Pennsylvania,  or 
31%,  have  contributed;  11  of  the  31 
living  in  New  York,  or  35%,  and  12  of 
the  41  living  in  New  Jersey,  or  29%, 
have  given  one  or  more  times.  Of  the 
remaining  57  members  scattered  over 
the  rest  of  the  U.  S.  A. — and  foreign 
parts — only  10,  or  18%,  have  felt  the 
tug  of  fond  memories  strongly  enough 
to  send  in  their  checks. 

The  significant  fact  is  that  28%  of 
our  class  have  given  at  some  time  dur- 
ing the  first  five  years  of  the  Fund  pro- 
gram. 

I'm  always  waiting  to  hear  from  all 
of  you,  so  that  we  may  have  some  thing 
for  the  '26  column  in  each  issue  of  the 
ALUMNUS.  Even  if  I  don't  get  a  letter 
off  to  you  write  to  me  about  any 
changes  in  address,  occupation  or  work 
you  are  doing.  It  won't  be  long  now 
before  reunion  time,  and  we  all  want 
to  be  up-to-date  then.

William  K.  Mertz  was  appointed 
manager,  engineering  design,  general 
engineering  department,  on  February 
1,  at  Campbell  Soup  Co.,  Camden,  N.  J. 
Mr.  Mertz,  with  his  wife  and  two  sons,

John  C.  Sheppard  served  as  chair- 
man of  the  March  of  Dimes  campaign 
in  Gloucester  County,  N.  J.,  this  year 
and  under  his  leadership  the  Mothers 
March  collected  over  $20,000  in  one 
hour.  A  splendid  increase  over  1953, 
when  the  Gloucester  County  record 
was  already  above  the  national  aver- 
age. Another  classmate  John  B.  Mid- 
dleton,  Westfield,  is  state  representa- 
tive of  the  March  of  Dimes   program. 

NEW  CLASS  FUND  MANAGER 
In  case  you  haven't  noticed  (and  we 
shudder  to  think  of  this  possibility),  S. 
Cober  Braucher,  Somerset,  has  replaced 
Loyd  Trimmer  as  our  class  fund  man- 
ager. After  doing  a  yoeman's  job  for 
several  years,  "Trim"  asked  to  be  re- 
lieved of  the  responsibility,  and  "Tub- 
by" graciously  agreed  to  take  over.  By 
now  you  have  all  received  his  first  ap- 
peal for  the  Alumni  Fund,  pointing  out 
that  the  goal  this  year  is  $200,000  and 
stressing  the  need  for  financial  support 
from  every  Alumnus.  Let's  all  give 
Tubby  our  support  and  help  raise  '28's 
banner  over  the  stadium  at  Homecom- 
ing. A  contribution  from  each  mem- 
ber will  put  us  at  the  top  of  the  list 
and  give  Bucknell  the  assistance  it  so 
richly  deserves.

Thought  for  June:  How  many  com- 
mencements are  there  in  every  life? 

Writes  Mrs.  M.  Howard  Clark  (Ellen 
M.  Evans),  "Being  corporation  gypsies 
we've  wrought  havoc  on  our  friends' 
address  books.  We've  moved  eleven 
times  and  have  lived  in  nine  different 
cities.  We've  enjoyed  living  as  far 
South  as  Atlanta,  West  to  Kansas  City, 
North  to  Providence,  R.  I.,  and  we're 
now  'perched'  in  Drexel  Hill.  Current- 
ly my  extra  curricular  activities  are 
confined  to  Red  Cross  work,  being  on 
the  board  of  directors  of  the  69th  Street 
branch  and  public  relations  chairman 
for  the  branch,  also  coordinator  of  pub- 
licity for  six  branches.  Our  hobbies 
are  various  and  sundry.  At  the  present 
time  we're  concentrating  on  raising  or- 
chids in  the  living  room  and  refinishing 
antique  furniture.  Best  wishes  to  all 
our  friends.  Our  present  address  is  433 
Forrest  Ave.,  Drexel  Hill." 

Note:  So  glad,  Ellen,  that  you  like 
antiquing  too!  A  retired  teacher  of 
mathematics.  Miss  Ranson,  at  B.  S.  'T.  C. 
and  I  drove  to  Lewistown  last  Saturday 
where  I  found  an  old  Paul  Revere  lan- 
tern (minus  one  hinge)  for  200  pennies. 
It's  the  old  punched  tin  type  with  a 
holder  for  a  candle.  After  painting  it 
inside  and  out  with  black,  outside 
enamel,  and  having  it  wired,  I  called 
the  electrician  to  hang  it  on  a  30-inch 
black  chain  from  the  ceiling  of  our 
porch.  With  my  dark  green  old-fash- 
ioned settee,  and  a  batter  jug  with  a 
wide  spout  (froin  which  I  plan  to  have 
ivy  growing)  I  stood  there  admiring  the 
lantern,  quite  entranced,  when  my  hus- 
band remarked  ruefully,  "Now  what 
are  you  going  to  do  for  light?"  I'm  all 
for  the  artistic  atmosphere  minus  light. 
Those  old  black  irons  that  once  handled 
ladies  ruffles  so  capably,  make  potent 
door  stops,  and  a  pair  of  them  make  de- 
lightful book-ends.  Who  would  imag- 
ine that  such  utilitarian  things  would 
become  so  literary?     Happy  antiquing! 

Paul  Bowers  reports  that  he  is  an  ob- 
stetrician and  gynecologist  on  the  staff 
of  Jefferson,  Philadelphia  General,  and 
Germantown  Hospitals,  and  an  Army 
consultant  at  Valley  Forge  General 
Hospital.  He  also  teaches  at  Jefferson 
Medical  College.  He  and  his  wife  and 
three  children  live  in  Penn  Valley,  just 
outside  of  Philadelphia.  Says  he  "I  am 
looking  forward  to  our  25th  reunion." 
We  are  looking  forward  to  seeing  you 
too,  Paul. 

Rev.  Alfred  B.  Haas  is  professor  of 
homoletics  at  Drew  Theological  Sem- 
inary. Rev.  Haas  recently  returned 
from  a  sabbatical  leave  spent  in  En- 
gland, where  he  visited  and  preached 
at  Methodist  Churches  in  the  British 
Isles. 

You  remember  Pep  DouKherty,  al- 
ways so  petite,  a  regular  "cuily  head" 
not  of  the  permanenled  kind.  Her 
letter  was  so  natural  and  newsy.  As 
an  aunt,  she  is  proud  of  her  two  nieces 
and  nephew,  4  yeai-  old  Kathie,  Peggy, 
her  name  sake,  age  7,  and  Johnny,  age 
5.  She  received  her  mastei-'s  degree 
in  social  work  in  June,  1950  at  the 
University  of  Pittsburgh.     Since  then 

19 


she  has  been  working  as  a  psychiatric 
social  supervisor  and  an  associate  di- 
rector in  the  Children's  Mental  Health 
Center  in  Columbus.  She  thinks  her 
work  is  wonderful  and  loves  it.  In 
March  she  went  to  the  American  Ortho- 
psychiatric  Conference  in  New  York 
where  she  saw  Lou  Meyer  Diehl  after 
twenty  years.  It's  unbelievable.  Has 
it  been  that  many  years?  Her  address 
is  Apt.  51,  581  East  Town  St.,  Colum- 
bus, O. 

Both  of  the  Cooks  are  now  whipping 
up  mental  stimuli  for  students.  Thanks, 
Franklin  for  being  so  cooperative  in 
letting  me  know  that  you  are  an  asso- 
ciate professor  at  the  Pennsylvania 
State  University,  and  that  Bob,  is  a 
professor  at  Western  Reserve  Law 
School.  Both  were  in  my  Latin  classes 
under  Dr.  Ballentine,  and  both  later 
received  their  LL.D.  degrees  from  Duke 
University.  Both  are  married  and  have 
children.  Franklin  says  he  isn't  in  the 
private  secretary  bracket,  but  I  figure 
he's  more  of  a  success  in  writing  a  per- 
sonal letter.  At  least  I  feel  more  of  a 
success  in  receiving  a  personal  com- 
munication. 

Writes  James  Colavita,  M.D.,  "Have 
this  day  returned  from  Leesburg,  Fla., 
where  I  had  a  very  delightful  vacation. 
Am  all  tanned  and  my  brain  is  full  of 
fond  memories  of  the  fish  I  caught  (no 
story).  My  wife,  Sara,  (no  children) 
enjoyed  herself  immensely.  Getting 
back  to  the  grind  of  practicing  medi- 
cine is  going  to  be  hard.  Am  secre- 
tary of  our  Medical  Department  at 
McKinley  Hospital  in  Trenton,  N.  J. 
Am  also  treasurer  (8  years)  of  our 
hospital  staff."  We're  glad  you  didn't 
put  off  taking  that  well-earned  vaca- 
tion, Jim. 

Harriet  Heydenreich  Covert  (Mrs. 
Henry  M.),  who  was  with  our  class  for 
the  freshman  and  sophomore  years  and 
an  excellent  student,  now  has  a  young 
daughter  and  lives  at  R.  D.  4,  Muncy. 
Since  her  husband's  death,  she  makes 
her  home  with  her  sister,  Martha, 
whose  husband  is  Ralph  Smith,  assis- 
tant superintendent  of  Lycoming  Coun- 
ty Schools  and  a  well  known  educator 
of  that  area. 

Max  Demler  reports  "The  Demler 
family  is  Damaris,  15,  Deanna,  10,  Don- 
na, 7.  I  am  district  representative  for 
Harbison-Walker  Refractories  Co.  cov- 
ering Miimesota,  North  Dakota,  South 
Dakota,  Iowa,  and  Wisconsin."  What  a 
territory  to  cover.  Max!  Evidently  you 
like  the  music  in  the  alliteration  of  D's. 
Try  it  class — isn't  it  lovely?  Damaris 
Demler,  Deanna  Demler,  Donna  Dem- 
ler.    Now  do  it  again. 

Whitney  Corsello,  M.D.  answers  my 
inquiry  for  news,  "Served  as  a  major 
during  World  War  II.  Joined  general 
surgery  at  Shadyside  and  Ohio  Valley 
Hospitals  here  in  Pittsburgh  in  private 
practice.  Just  returned  from  Mexico 
and  California.  Am  going  to  Pan- 
American  Medical  in  Rio  this  fall." 

Dr.  Burt  C.  Pratt,  laboratory  director 
at  the  experimental  station  of  E.  I.  Du- 
Pont  Company,  Wilmington,  recently 
spoke  to  the  Bucknell  University  stu- 
dent affiliate  group  of  the  American 
Chemical  Society  on  "The  Place  of  Re-

Had  a  satisfying  letter  from  Jim  Da- 
vis who  since  August  1952  is  minister 
of  Christian  Education  at  the  East  Lynn 
Christian  Church,  23rd  and  Jefferson 
Sts.,  Anderson,  Ind.  Says  he,  "Believe 
I'm  in  the  work  I've  always  wanted  to

do,  working  with  people  in  the  integra- 
tion of  a  strong  religious-educational 
foundation  and  with  all  age  groups  from 
nursey  and  kindergarten  through  adults 
(including  oldsters  and  shut-ins).  The 
church  has  a  m.embership  of  1100  which 
gives  quite  an  opportunity  for  organi- 
zation. Do  get  around  the  community 
as  well  (population  60,000),  in  the  re- 
ligious education  division  of  Anderson 
Association  of  Churches.  I  taught 
'Background  of  the  Bible'  in  winter 
leadership  training  courses,  and  belong 
to  the  Ministerial  Association.  My  wife 
keeps  the  home  going  and  works  with 
the  Christian  Women's  Fellowship  and 
eight  circles.  Nancy  Lou  recently  cel- 
ebrated her  9th  birthday.  Dicky  is  en- 
joying life  in  the  large  back  yard  and 
kindergarten.  We  are  trying  to  give 
them  a  not-too-overbalanced  life  as 
P.K.'s  (preacher  kids)  which  can  prove 
a  problem  later  on." 

Saw  Katherine  "Kitty"  Graham  Sho- 
walter  in  the  lobby  of  the  Penn  Harris 
Hotel  in  Harrisburg  recently.  She 
looked  very  smart  in  a  small  yellow 
checked  tweed  coat  and  matching  hat. 
The  Showalters  live  in  Lewisburg  and 
have  two  sons.  Kitty  belongs  to  D.  A.R.,

STOLER  '37  NOW  WRITING  FOR  TV 


SIGMUXD  A.  STOLER  '37 

With  the  production  of  liis  first  show,  "The 
Circle  Closes,"  produced  on  Tlic  U'cb  over 
CBS  television,  Februarj'  28,  Sigmund  A. 
Stoler  '37.  added  television  drama  as  the 
fifth  medium  in  which  he  works.  Mr.  Stoler 
is  a  writer. 

The  Web.  an  outstanding  mystery-drama 
series,  served  not  onlv  to  introduce  him  to 


T\'  script  writing,  but  also  presented  liim  as 
a  m\-stery  writer.  He  allows  he  likes  the 
genre,  and  more  are  to  come. 

Born  and  raised  in  Sunbury,  he  began  his 
writing  career,  after  college  graduation 
(B..\.  in  English  and  education)  with  the 
old  Sunbury  Daily  as  a  reporter.  Matter  of 
fact,  he  still  substitutes  for  an  occasional  day 
or  so  for  the  paper,  now  the  Sunbury  Daily 
Item,  to  keep  his  hand  in  on  factual  writing. 

After  working  as  a  visitor  for  the  Depart- 
ment of  Public  Assistance  for  three  years, 
then  teaching  English  at  Freeburg  High 
School  for  two,  he  decided  writing  was  the 
profession  he  wanted.  Early  in  1944,  he 
sold  two  stories  to  love-pulp  magazines,  and 
was  encouraged  enough  by  their  sale  to  quit 
teaching  that  June  and  concentrate  on  writ- 
ing. 

A  contract  with  ABC  writing  "Appoint- 
ment With  Life,"  a  complete  (daily)  half- 
hour  dramatic  show,  broadcast  over  WJZ 
and  affiliated  stations,  followed  that  fall. 
While  working  for  ABC,  he  also  free-lanced 
such  radio  shows  as  "Grand  Central  Station," 
and  "Stars  Over  Hollywood." 

When  "Appointment  With  Life"  went  off 
the  air  in  1946,  he  began  writing  confessional 
stories  for  such  magazines  as  True  Story, 
True  Confessions  and  four  other  books  in  the 
same  field.  He  has  the  distinction  of  having 
two  of  his  stories,  which  originally  appeared 
in  True  Story  selected  for  an  anthology,  pub- 


lished by  Doubleday,  of  the  best  fourteen 
stories  that  had  been  published  in  True  Story 
in  the  past  thirty  years.  The  Anthology  was 
titled  Tlic  Boot:  of  True  Stories,  published 
in  1948. 

He  has  also  written  one-act  plays,  many 
of  which  have  been  published  in  a  series  of 
one-act  play  anthologies  released  by  Green- 
berg  :  Publisher,  New  York.  However,  he 
claims  he  likes  writing  for  TV  best  of  all. 

"It's  a  stimulating-  medium,  combining  fea- 
tures of  both  stage  and  movie  technique."  He 
feels  his  work  in  community  theatre  as  a  di- 
rector is  serving  him  in  good  stead  now  for 
arranging  stage  "business"  and  direction  for 
liis  television  dramas,  although  mysteries — 
featured  on  The  Web — are  a  new  type  of 
story  for  him. 

Mr.  Stoler  still  talks  about  writing  a  novel ; 
says  he  has  started  two  but  both  times  didn't 
feel  they  excited  him — or  would,  any  one  else. 
He  would  like  to  have  a  play  on  Broadway 
some  day.  In  the  meantime,  he  admits  seeing 
his  work  produced  on  TV  is  the  biggest 
careerwise  thrill  he's  had. 

He  comes  from  a  Bucknell  family.  His 
sister,  Mrs.  Harry  Bernstein,  of  Scotch 
Plains,  New  Jersey,  the  former  Evelyn  Del 
Stoler,  was  granted  her  bachelor  of  arts  de- 
gree in  1931.  His  brother,  Harold  L.,  of 
Sunbury,  was  in  the  Class  of  1936.

Founders'  Day  on  the  Campus 


(Ed.  Note)  One  of  the  features  of  Found- 
ers' Day  zvas  the  Student  Chapel  Serz'ice  on 
Wednesday,  February  10,  addressed  by  Dr. 
Harold  R.  Husted.  minister.  First-Park  Bap- 
tist Church.  Plainfield,  K'.  J.  Dr.  Husted.  al- 
though not  a  BuekneUian,  has  four  BuckneU 
sons  and  tzco  BuckneU  daughters-in-Iazc. 
They  are  H.  Ha'-lan  Husted  '43.  married  to 
the  former  Barbara  G.  Russell  '44:  William 
DeHart  Husted  '4S.  married  to  the  former 
Dorothy  il.  Jennings:  Robert  Redding  Hus- 
ted '53.  married  to  the  former  Patricia 
Foulkes  '53:  and  Richard  H.  Husted  '53. 
Follozi'ing  is  an  e.rccrpt  from  Dr.  Husfed's 
Chapel  address  dealing  ivith  the  early  history 
and  the  John  Hon'ord  Harris  era  of  Buck- 
neU that  zi-il!  undoubtedly  be  of  interest  to 
scz'eral  generations  of  BuckneU  Alumni. 

It  was  verj'  gracious  to  invite  one  who  is 
not  a  graduate  of  this  University  to  partici- 
pate in  this  'Founders'  Day'  program.  I  as- 
sure you  that  I  consider  this  privilege  an 
honor.  My  only  claim  to  recognition  on  this 
campus  is  the  fact  that  I  am  the  father  of 
four  sons  who  are  graduates  of  BuckneU.  It 
is  true  that  about  25  years  of  my  ministry 
have  been  spent  within  a  radius  of  150  miles 
of  this  school  and  I  have  had  some  small 
part  in  influencing  a  score  of  young  people 
to  attend  BuckneU. 

The  occasion  for  which  we  are  gathered  is 
'Founders'  Day.'  It  is  our  privilege  to  look 
back  upon  the  past ;  to  the  beginnings  of  this 
University,  before  we  look  around  us  at  the 
present  and  ahead  of  us  to  the  future.  "God 
builds  the  Future  on  the  Present  and  the 
Present  on  the  Past."  No  individual  is  an 
adult  until  he  appreciates  the  contribution  of 
the  past.  We  cannot  change  our  past,  but  we 
can  choose  our  attitude  toward  it.  We  can  be 
unmindful  of  it  and  irreverent  toward  it,  or 
thoughtful  of  it  and  grateful  for  it. 

The  "University  at  Lewisburg  "  was  found- 
ed in  1846,  upon  the  completion  of  an  effort 
to  raise  SIOO.OOO  to  meet  the  requirements  for 
a  charter.  Without  the  substantial  support  of 
a  number  of  Baptist  laymen  in  Philadelphia, 
the  effort  would  have  farled.  In  1886  the 
present  name  was  adopted  in  honor  of  Wil- 
liam BuckneU  of  Philadelphia,  who  was  a 
generous  contributor  to  this  University. 

John  Howard  Harris  registered  as  a  fresh- 
man in  the  University  at  Lewisburg  in  1865. 
He  was  then  18  years  of  age.  The  only  build- 
ings on  "The  Hill"  were  Old  Main,  the  Acad- 
■  my  and  the  Seminary.    Harris  completed  his 

'>l)cgc  course  in  three  years.  So  great  was 
the  impression  that  the  young  man  made 
upon  the  faculty  and  President  Looniis,  that 
he  was  selected  as  the  one  best  fitted  to  be 
the  first  president  of  a  new  secondary  school 
to  \k  known  as  "Keystone  Academy"  in  Fac- 
loryvillc.   Fa.     The   school   opened   with    16 

ludcnts  and  no  buildings.  The  classes  were 
held  in  the  First  Baptist  Church. 

Young  Harris  remained  at  Keystone  Acafl- 
ctny  2fJ  years.  When  he  finished  his  work  in 
1889,  there  were  three  buildings  on  tin-  lain- 
pu.t  and  an  enrollment  of  225. 

In  1Wi9,  Dr.  John  Howard  Harris  became 
president  of  this  schwil  which  three  years  be- 
fore had  become  Buckncll  University.  The 
J  U  .V  K    1  0  3  i 


total  enrollment  was  71  and  there  were  S 
members  on  the  faculty.  There  were  few 
buildings,  little  equipment  and  less  money. 
President  Harris  gathered  around  himself  a 
faculty  unusual  for  Bucknell's  size.  He  pre- 
ferred to  take  BuckneU  students,  whom  he 
had  met  daily  in  his  classes  and  whose  char- 
acter he  knew  well,  and  encourage  them  to 
take  graduate  work  while  serving  as  in- 
structors in  the  school.  In  this  way,  he  se- 
cured men  of  strength,  character  and  broad 
scholarship.  Dr.  Harris'  appreciation  of  the 
value  of  a  faculty  may  be  gained  from  a 
statement  in  an  address  that  he  delivered  be- 
fore the  Annual  Convention  of  the  Associa- 
tion of  Colleges  in  1906 : 

"I  believe  there  are  no  men  in  any  vocation 
superior  to  the  college  professor  in  manly 
character,  in  devotion  to  truth,  in  love  of 
their  work,  or  in  the  value  of  their  services  to 
mankind.  The  office  has  always  enlisted  the 
brightest  reflective  intellects  of  the  race. 
Though  poor,  they  make  many  rich ;  not  only 
in  things  of  the  spirit,  but  in  things  of  matter 
as  well.  These  men  make  the  moral  atmos- 
phere of  the  college ;  association  with  them 
is  a  liberal  education." 

The  high  scholastic  standing  this  Univer- 
sity achieved  under  his  leadership  may  be 
judged  by  the  recognition  President  Harris 
received  from  his  fellow  college  presidents, 
who  elected  him  to  the  important  office  of 
Chairman  of  the  "Colleges  and  Universities 
Council  of  Pennsylvania."  It  is  recorded  that 
President  Harris  exerted  more  influence  upon 
college  education  in  Pennsylvania  than  any 
other  man  of  his  day. 

In  1919,  President  Harris  resigned  the 
presidency  of  BuckneU.  During  the  entire  30 
years,  he  had  served  as  Professor  of  Psy- 
chology and  Ethics.  He  now  became  Pro- 
fessor of  Philosophy,  which  chair  he  occu- 
pied for  five  years. 

In  1924,  Dr.  Harris  severed  his  active  con- 
nection with  this  University.  He  moved  to 
Scranton,  Pa.,  to  live  with  one  of  his  eight 
sons,  seven  of  whom  were  graduates  of  tliis 
University.  His  one  daughter  is  also  a  grad- 
uate of  BuckneU.  Three  months  after  Dr. 
Harris  moved  to  Scranton,  I  began  my  min- 
istry in  the  Immanuel  Baptist  Church.  This 
was  my  first  pastorate.  The  'reported'  mem- 
bership of  Immanuel  at  that  time  was  1,200, 
and  the  Sanctuary  seated  1,100.  These  facts 
did  not  intimidate  the  young  minister  nearly 
.so  much  as  the  presence  of  John  Howard 
Harris  in  his  congregation  each  Sunday 
morning.  This  great  scholar,  theologian  and 
administrator  was  truly  a  humble  man  and  a 
devout  Christian.  He  was  very  helpful  to 
the  young  mini.ster.  On  one  of  my  frequent 
calls  into  his  home,  I  asked  him,  "Dr.  Harris, 
what  can  you  get  from  anything  I  may  say  in 
a  sermon?"  The  great  man  replied,  "My 
young  man,  you  always  .say  .something  thai 
starts  my  mind  going."  He  was  too  gracious 
to  complete  the  sentence,  "and  then  I  go  off 
and  leave  you." 

On  Saturday  morning,  April  21,  1925,  after 
President  Harris  had  lived  in  Scranton  less 
than  a  year,  he  died.  I  had  fully  expected 
that  Mrs.  Harris  would  invite  a  number  of 
dignitaries  to  conduct  the  service.  I-ike  her 
husband,  Mrs.  Harris  was  very  gracious  and 
humble.  J  can  well  remember  her  statement : 
"You  were  his  pastor  and  you  will  conduct 


the  service."  Later,  the  body  was  brought  to 
Lewisburg  where  a  memorial  service  was 
held  and  the  remains  of  this  great  man  are 
buried  in  Lewisburg  Cemetery. 

Such,  in  brief,  is  the  story  of  one  man  who 
lived  78  years  in  Pennsylvania — born  in  this 
state,  educated  in  this  state,  spent  his  entire 
ministry  in  this  state,  and  is  buried  in  this 
state;  50  years  as  an  administrator;  fifty-five 
years  as  a  professor.  Fifty-five  years  of  un- 
selfish self-sacrificial  service  to  the  Kingdom 
of  God  in  these  two  Baptist  schools. 

It  is  inspiring  to  read  the  Baccalaureate 
Sermons  delivered  by  this  great  scholar  who 
had  a  profound  faith  in  God  and  the  ultimate 
victory  of  truth  and  righteousness.  That  he 
was  not  swayed  off  his  feet  during  the  years 
of  the  First  World  War  is  indicated  by  the 
themes  of  the  addresses  that  he  delivered  be- 
fore the  graduating  classes  during  the  war 
years ; 

1916 — "The   Spiritual   Building" 
1917 — "The   Unsliaken   Kingdom" 
1918— "The  Persistence  of  God" 

Permit  me  to  quote  the  last  paragraph  of 
his  1918  Baccalaureate  Sermon:  "Half  of 
your  number  are  absent  today,  in  various 
kinds  of  war  work — many  more  will  un- 
doubtedly engage  in  it.  As  in  the  old  days 
the  challenge  went  forth  "Whom  shall  I 
send?  Who  will  go?"  And  the  answer 
came,  "Here  am  I,  Oh  Lord,  send  me."  So 
in  our  day,  the  same  challenge  has  gone  forth 
and  the  hearts  of  millions  of  youth  answer, 
"Here  are  we.  Send  us."  The  man  and  the 
hour  have  met,  and  best  of  all,  God  is  with 
us.  The  triumph  of  right  is  as  sure  as  the 
act  of  gravitation.  Let  us  be  sure  that  we 
are  on  the  side  of  God  and  we  need  not  ^ear 
the  outcome." 

This  gathering  will  little  note  nor  long  re- 
member what  we  say  here,  but  BuckneU  Uni- 
versity should  never  forget  what  Dr.  Harris 
did  here.  It  is  for  us  the  living,  rather  to  be 
dedicated  here  to  the  unfinished  work  which 
he  and  his  contemporaries  thus  far  so  nobly 
advanced." 


Jay  Mathias,  BuckneU  alumni  and  presi- 
dent of  the  Bison  Club,  was  toastmaster  at 
the  Sports  Banquet  this  year  when  the  bas- 
ketball and  wrestling  letters  were  distributed. 
It  was  announced  that  BuckneU  had  four  stu- 
dents in  the  Middle  Atlantic  Conference  at 
Gettysburg.  The  wrestlers  were  Tom  Mil- 
ler, Ambridge  ;  Jack  Bitzer  '54,  Doylestown  ; 
Don  Kelso  '54,  Pittsburgh;  and  Bob  Daven- 
port '54,  DuBois.

Buck-Raising,  "Joe  Doe"  Style, 
Or  How  Loyal  Can  One  Get? 


Back  in  June  of  1952,  "Joe  Doe"  '08  received  a  letter  from  Bucknell  asking  him  to 
suggest  the  names  of  persons  whom  the  University  might  solicit  in  behalf  of  the  Taylor 
Hall  program. 

He  replied  by  giving  his  own  name  and  address  and  saying  "and  I  will  see  that  the 
guy  comes  across  with  $218  by  December  31,  1953." 

Well,  December  came  and  went  without  any  word  from  Brother  "Joe",  so  a  few 
weeks  ago  the  University  sent  him  a  reminder. 

By  return  mail  came  a  check  and  a  terse  note  : 

"I  nailed  the  guy  and  made  him  come  across  for  the  full  amount  with  interest  com- 
pounded since  June,  1952.  Check  ($242.06)  enclosed.  He  wanted  to  deduct  contributions 
in  December  '52  and  '53,  but  I  would  hear  nothing  of  it." 


The  Outlook  in  Admissions. 

By  George  R.  Faint  '25,  Registrar 
This  year  more  applications  than  last  year 
have  been  received  from  both  men  and  wo- 
men. Because  fewer  women  can  be  accom- 
modated this  year,  the  competition  is  excep- 
tionally keen. 

Effective  with  applicants  for  September 
1955,  the  major  selection  of  candidates,  both 
men  and  women,  will  not  be  made  until  the 
results  of  the  full  March  series  of  College 
Entrance  Examination  Board  tests  have  been 
received ;  that  is  in  April,  but  before  May  1. 
This  will  enable  us  to  receive  applications, 
particularly  from  women,  for  a  longer  pe- 
riod, and  "to  have  the  3^-year  secondary 
school  record  available  when  the  selection  of 
candidates  is  made. 

SCHOLARSHIPS 

Bucknell  has  very  limited  scholarship 
funds,  and  hence  candidates  needing  aid  must 
show  great  financial  need,  rank  very  high  in 
the  graduating  class,  and  be  exceptional  on 
the  College  Board  tests. 

ALUMNI  ENDORSEMENT 

The  endorsement  of  candidates  by  alumni 
is  always  helpful  to  the  Admissions  Commit- 
tee. Alumni  are  cautioned  only  to  recommend 
Bucknell,  and  not  to  assure  candidates  of 
acceptance.  Often  personable  candidates  may 
be  low  ranking  scholastically.  Sometimes  a 
particular  degree  program  may  be  popular, 
creating  additional  competition  for  the  few 
who  can  be  accepted  in  that  program. 


How  Large  Should  Bucknell  Be? 

In  our  March  1954  issue  (page  22)  some  interesting  figures  concerning  future  college 
enrollments  were  given.  Another  recent  study  that  predicts  high  school  age  population  to 
1966  has  been  prepared  by  Ronald  B.  Thompson,  Ohio  State  University.  The  results  as 
reported  in  the  Phi  Delta  Kappan  in  March  1954  are  reproduced  here  for  a  study  of  things 
to  come. 

The  importance  of  the  figures  may  be  indicated  by  the  following:  Whereas  high 
school  facilities  for  the  past  decade  have  had  to  take  into  account  only  the  increasing  per- 
centage of  high  school-age  children  enrolling  in  secondary  schools,  the  next,  decade  will  have 
to  contend  with  an  additional  factor.  Not  only  can  the  percentage  of  those  enrolling  in 
secondary  schools  be  expected  to  increase,  but  there  will  be.  no  doubt,  a  tremendous  increase 
in  the  actual  number  of  young  people  of  high  school  age. 

The  Thompson  analysis  is  based  upon  births  as  reported  each  year  since  1922,  to  which 
basic  figure  has  been  applied  known  percentages  of  survival  to,  and  through  the  normal  high 
school  ages.

Senior  Prom 

An  "American  In  Paris"  theme  supplied 
the  background  for  the  annual  Senior  Prom 
on  March  19. 

Davis  Gymnasium  was  bedecked  with  Paris 
scenes  and  French  cafes  while  Duke  Elling- 
ton and  his  orchestra  supplied  a  variety  of 
unique  arrangements  for  the  large  crowd  of 
Bucknellians  and  their  guests. 

At  the  height  of  the  evening.  Prom  Queen 
Dorothy  Masemer,  York,  was  presented  with 
her  court  of  six  seniors.  Dottie  DiOrio, 
York :  Betsy  Ernst,  Emmaus ;  Helen  Frazee, 
Pittsburgh:  Jan  Geller,  Mineola,  N.  Y. ; 
Linea  Lindberg,  Summit,  N.  J. ;  and  Pat  Mc- 
CoU,  Hamden,  Conn.,  served  the  queen  on 
her  court. 

Jim  Logue,  Williamsport,  acted  as  master 
of  ceremonies  during  the  presentation  and 
during  the  intermission  Queen  Dorothy  and 
her  escort,  Marty  Carhart,  Riverton,  N.  J., 
led  the  Grand  March  of  all  seniors  and  their 
dates.

II  Corinthian  9:7 


PAUL  ALTHOUSE     12 


The  passing  of  two  prominent  Bucknellians  in  February  and  March  and  the 
subsequent  probating  of  their  wills  has  brought  to  light  once  again  the  esteem 
in  which  Bucknell  Alumni  hold  their  Alma  Mater. 

On  February  7  the  University  received  with  regret  the  news  that  Paul  Althouse, 
a  member  of  the  Class  of  1912,  had  died  at  New  York  City.  Subsequently,  the 
University  received  a  copy  of  his  will  which  read  in  part: 

"I  give  and  bequeath  to  Bucknell  University,  School  of  Music,  the  sum 
of  One  Thousand  ($1,000.00)  Dollars  and  request  that  some  appropriate 
memento  of  a  permanent  nature  be  displayed  in  said  School  of  Music  of 
this  bequest." 

The  former  Metropolitan  Opera  Star  had  supported  the  University  regularly  in 
his  later  years  and  it  was  not  surprising  that  he  singled  out  the  School  of  Music 
as  a  beneficiary  in  his  will.  Music  was  his  life,  but  as  the  Editor  of  the  Reading 
Eagle  put  in  his  editorial  of  February  8,  he  "never  lost  the  common  touch  nor 
valued  fame  above  friendship." 

It  was  unquestionably  this  trait  which  led  Paul  Althouse  to  think  of  the  many 
students  who  would  follow  him  through  BucknelTs  School  of  Music  in  the  future. 


RICHARD  DARLINGTON    09 

Less  than  a  month  later,  March  1,  the  University  received  another  blow  in  the 
passing  of  Richard  Darlington,  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  and  of  the  Class 
of  1909.     Coincidentally,  both  of  these  loyal  Alumni  were  64  years  of  age. 

A  native  of  Lewisburg,  Richard  Darlington  became  a  successful  coal  distributor 
and  for  many  years  contributed  substantially  to  the  support  of  the  University.  In 
1948,  his  gifts  having  passed  the  $10,000  mark  he  was  made  a  Founder  of  the 
University. 

WTien  his  will  was  probated  early  in  March  it  was  discovered  that  Richard  Dar- 
lington's desire  to  help  his  Alma  Mater  was  even  greater  than  had  been  evidenced 
during  his  lifetime.  He  had  named  Bucknell  as  the  residuary  legatee  of  sixty  per- 
cent of  his  estate,  which  was  valued  at  .'1200,000.00. 

The  will  provided  a  life  estate  for  Mrs.  Darlington,  ihc  former  Margaret  Ker- 
stetter  of  Milton,  which  is  to  be  dissolved  at  the  time  of  her  dcalh.  In  addition 
to  Bucknell,  Mr.  Darlington  also  provided  for  the  Bryn  Mawr  Hospital;  employees 
of  llx-  fiiiiisN  K  aula  and  Hudson  Coin])any,  of  which  he  was  president;  the  Fvaii- 
gcljiai  (.iMiiinuiiity  llnspital  of  Lewisburg  and  the  I'irsI  I'lfsliylciian  (Muiiili  of 
Lewisburg.    These  four  groups  will  share  40^   of  the  i-csidnary  estate.

A  Code  for  Bucknellians 


Having  chosen  Bucknell  University  as  our  Alma  Mater,  we 
v\^ho  have  benefitted  from  her  academic  resources,  her  learned  teach- 
ings, her  friendly  counsel,  her  high  traditions,  her  rich  social  experi- 
ences, and  her  beautiful  campus  environment  do  proudly  assert  our 
happy  affiliation  and  our  invaluable  claim.  This  assertion  is  most 
appropriately  made  as  an  expression  of  recognition  of  the  Bucknell 
Way  of  Life. 

We  thankfully  acknowledge  that  we  have  received  more  than 
that  for  which  we  paid,  as  the  result  of  numerous  benefactions  from 
Bucknellians  and  friends  of  Bucknell  who  preceded  us.  We  humbly 
realize  that  in  being  provided  with  the  knowledge  of  and  access  to  the 
tools  of  life,  we  accept  willingly  the  moral  obligation  to  employ  those 
tools  to  the  best  of  our  abilities  for  the  good  of  society.  In  so  doing, 
we  recognize  the  inconsistencies  of  our  social  and  economic  environ- 
ment and  adjust  for  them  in  accordance  with  the  principles  of  our 
Bucknell  heritage. 

Faith  in  God,  allegiance  to  our. country,  consideration  of  our 
fellow  man,  and  loyalty  to  Bucknell  we  shall  constantly  endeavor  to 
practice  and  foster  in  our  daily  lives,  regardless  of  our  individual  sta- 
tions. May  our  loyalty  to  Bucknell  and  to  her  Alumni,  past,  present, 
and  future,  result  in  compounding  the  interest  of  the  Bucknell  Way 
of  Life.

HAIL  -  CLASS  OF  1958 

We  are  sure  the  freshmen  men  and  women  of  the 
Bucknell  Class  of  195  8  who  reach  the  campus  next  week 
will  not  lack  advice  on  how  to  succeed  in  college.  In  the 
belief  that  those  of  us,  who  one  day  many  years  ago  set  foot 
on  the  campus  for  the  first  time  as  students  and  lived  through 
four  years  of  college,  have  learned  something  of  the  approach 
to  college  life,  these  few  words  are  addressed  to  the  entering 
Class  of  1958. 

First  of  all,  expect  to  be  challenged  at  a  higher  level 
of  achievement  than  you  have  experienced  before.  You 
would  not  be  coming  to  college  if  you  expected  your  work 
to  be  as  easy  as  it  was  in  high  school.  Face  your  enlarged 
tasks  with  the  assurance  that  the  entire  faculty  and  staff 
are  dedicated  to  help  you  achieve  success  in  your  work. 

Our  second  bit  of  advice  was  stated  so  well  by  our 
June  1954  commencement  speaker,  Dr.  Brand  Blanshard  of 
Yale  University  that  we  cannot  do  better  than  quote  his 
words.  Dr.  Blanshard,  speaking  on  "the  Concept  of  the 
Gentleman",  declared  that  chivalry  and  honor,  two  price- 
less elements  in  our  ideal  of  the  gentleman,  are  deeply  and 
particularly  needed  in  our  day. 

"Chivalry,"  he  said,  "has  come  to  mean  a  generous  fair- 
ness to  others  which  is  an  essential  part  of  honor.  Honor 
implies  that  one  has  incorporated  such  fairness  in  one's  self- 
respect.     That  is  why  honor  is  so  potent  a  force." 

The  speaker  pointed  out  that  honor  does  not  reserve 
itself  for  great  occasions  and  referred  to  athletics  as  one  of 
our  chief  schools  of  honor.  "The  notion  of  sportsmanship 
or  fair  play,"  said  he,  "is  one  of  our  best  Anglo-Saxon  ex- 
ports. The  ability  to  take  hard  knocks  unwhiningly,  to  win 
without  preening  oneself,  to  admire  those  who  can  beat  one 
at  the  game,  to  go  all  out  to  win  but  to  prefer  not  winning 
at  all  to  winning  by  cadging  and  goudging,  is  one  of  the 
finest  traditions  of  American  life." 

If  the  members  of  the  Class  of  195  8  can  accept  this 
concept  of  a  gentleman  throughout  their  four  years  on  the 
campus  a  new  high  in  class  spirit  and  achievement  will  have 
been  established.

when  not  traveling  abroad. 

In  announcing  his  decision  to  accept 
the  post  of  president  of  Bucknell,  Dr.  Od- 
gers commented  as  follows;  "I  am  deeply 
honored  bj'  the  invitation  to  become  presi- 
dent of  Bucknell  University  in  view  of  the 
splendid  accomplishments  which  have 
marked  this  108-year  old  institution  in  the 
past  and  in  view  of  its  bright  prospects  for 
the  future." 

"Bucknell  has  a  great  tradition  for 
scholarships  and  service,"  he  continued, 
"and  I  am  looking  forward  to  becoming 
a  part  of  this  fine  college,  the  100th  char- 
tered  in  America." 

Editorializing  in  the  Snnhnry  Item,  the  edi- 
tor wrote : 

"The  selection  of  Dr.  Odgers  as  presi- 
dent of  Bucknell  underlines  the  fact  that 
our  University  has  been  greatly  blessed  in 
the  caliber  of  the  men  who  have  directed 
its  destinies  through  the  years.  Dr.  Od- 
gers will  face  an  unmistakable  challenge 
in  the  records  of  men  like  Dr.  John  How- 
ard Harris,  whose  long  tenure,  deep  devo- 
t  i  o  n  a  nd  outstanding  accomplishments 
marked  a  milestone  in  the  progress  of  the 
LTniversity,  and  more  recent  predecessors 
including  Dr.  Horace  A.  Hildreth,  now 
Ambassador  to  Pakistan,  Dr.  Herbert  L. 
Spencer,  who  left  the  campus  to  become 
director  of  the  Kress  Foundation,  and  Dr. 
Arnaud  C.  Marts,  one  of  the  nation's  best 
known  counselors  on  public  finance  en- 
terprises. However,  '  Dr.  Odgers'  back- 
ground of  service  to  education  covering 
32  years  as  college  teacher  and  administra- 
tor qualifies  him  for  carrying  on  a  great 
tradition.  A  year's  search  by  Bucknell's 
Board  of  Trustees  for  a  man  measuring  up 
to  the  high  standards  established  in  the 
University's  presidency  has  not  been  in 
vain."

ALUMNI  WEEKEND -1954 


WILLIAM   S.  LIMING.  President 

General  Alumni  Association 

Bucknell  University 

William  S.  Liming  '33  was  unanimously  elected 
president  of  the  General  Alumni  Association  dur- 
ing Alumni  W^eekend  in  June.  Bill  is  with  the 
group  insurance  division  of  the  Metropolitan  Life 
Insurance  Company  in  New  York,  serving  as  man- 
ager of  benefit  plan  publicity  and  employee  educa- 
tion services. 

Prior  to  service  as  a  naval  officer  in  World 
War  II,  he  was  in  the  writing  and  editing  field  in 
New  Jersey  and  New  York.  As  an  undergraduate 
Bill,  who  specialized  in  journalism,  edited  both  the 
BucknelUan  and  UAgenda.  In  addition  to  mem- 
bership in  Tau  Kappa  Epsilon  social  fraternity,  he 
belongs  also  to  Pi  Delta  Epsilon,  national  honorary 
journalism  fraternity,  and  to  Sigma  Tau  Delta, 
honorary  professional  English  fraternity.  A  fre- 
quent speaker  at  conferences  of  editors  he  was  on 
the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  American  Associa- 
tion of  Industrial  Editors  and  now  serves  as  vice- 
president  in  charge  of  the  Association's  place- 
ment service. 

Bill  is  married  to  the  former  Ruth  E.  Rohr 
'34,  popular  class  reporter  for  her  class.  They 
have  two  Bucknellians-to-be  children,  Ruth  Gail, 
aged  11,  and  Robert  Geoffrey,  aged  7%.  The  Lim- 
ings  live  at  East  Williston,  Long  Island,  New  York 
where  both  are  active  in  many  phases  of  alumni 
work  and  helped  to  organize  the  Bucknell  Alumni 
Club  of  Long  Island. 

ALUMNI  WEEKEND-19S4  again  at- 
tracted a  record  breaking  of  alumni  to  the 
campus  on  June  11-14.  Class  presidents 
and  reunion  chairmen  of  the  Emeritus  Club 
and  the  Classes  of  1899,  1904,  1909,  1914, 
1919,  1924,  1929,  1934,  1939,  1944,  1949, 
1953,  and  1954  planned  a  full  program  of 
activities  for  the  reunioners.  Non-reunion 
class  members  of  all  years  accounted  for 
about  300  of  the  visitors  in  the  total  crowd 
of  well  over  a  thousand  Bucknellians  who 
sat  down  at  the  All-Alumni  Luncheon  on 
Saturday  noon.  A  campus  committee  of 
students,  faculty,  and  alumni,  under  the 
dynamic  leadership  of  Raymond  K.  Irwin 
'47,  made  the  campus  arrangements  for 
over  thirty  meetings  during  the  gala  week- 
end. 

Of  course,  the  highlight  of  any  class  re- 
union is  the  fine  glow  of  renewing  college 
friendships  but  this  year  several  features 
and  at  least  one  pleasant  surprise  added 
new  zest  to  the  time  honored  activities. 

GROUND  BREAKING 

THE  FEATURE  of  the  Saturday  morn- 
ing program  was  the  impressive  ceremony 
of  ground-breaking  for  the  $900,000  F.  W. 
Olin  Science  Building.  Dr.  Charles  S. 
Horn,  president  of  the  Olin  Foundation 
returned  to  Bucknell  to  lift  the  first  shovel- 
ful of  earth  from  the  site  of  the  new 
building  which  will  be  located  opposite  the 

4 


Engineering  Building.  There  to  assist 
him  were  James  O.  Wynn,  Esq.,  vice 
president  and  general  counsel  for  the  Olin 
Foundation;  Dr.  Joseph  W.  Henderson 
'08,  acting  president  and  chairman  of  the 
r>oard  of  Trustees  of  Bucknell;  the  Hon- 
orable Horace  A.  Hildreth,  American  Am- 
liassador  to  Pakistan  and  former  president 
nf  the  University;  Dr.  William  H.  Cole- 
man, vice  president  in  charge  of  academic 
.iffairs;  and  Dr.  Dayton  L.  Ranck  '16,  vice 
president  in  charge  of  administrative  af- 
fairs. Dr.  W.  Norwood  Lowry  '22,  Dr. 
Lester  Kieft,  and  Dr.  William  I.  Miller 
'26  represented  respectively  the  depart- 
ments of  physics,  chemistry  and  mathema- 
tics which  will  be  housed  in  the  new 
building. 

A  PLEASANT  SURPRISE 

THE  WHOLE  UNIVERSITY  FAMILY 
was  thrilled  to  have  Ambassador  and  Mrs. 
Horace  A.  Hildreth  on  the  campus  for 
.\lumni  Day.  Dr.  Hildreth,  who  last  sum- 
mer left  the  presidency  of  Bucknell  after 
four  years  of  outstanding  service,  is  Unit- 
ed States  Ambassador  to  Pakistan.  The 
Hildreths  had  flown  from  Karachi  for  a 
series  of  conferences  with  Department  of 
State  Officials  in  Washington  and  visited 
Bucknell  before  their  return  to  Pakistan. 
Ambassador    Hildreth,    in    acknowledging

the  standing  ovation  accorded  him  at  the 
All-Alumni  Luncheon  probably  made  the 
shortest  speech  on  record  when  he  said, 
"This  is  just  like  coming  home." 

LUNCHEON  FEATURES  FUN 

THE  ALL-ALUMNI  LUNCHEON 
where  everybody  sees  everj'body,  even 
though  each  class  is  seated  as  a  group, 
provided  a  hilarious  occasion  for  all  with 
each  crowd  of  reunioners  trying  to  fly  its 
class  numerals  highest  via  the  balloon 
route.  After  a  delicious  lunch  served  in 
fine  style  by  Mrs.  Esther  B.  Long  '47,  di- 
rector of  food  services,  with  the  aid  of  her 
staff  augmented  by  a  number  of  students, 
a  minimum  of  time  was  devoted  to  greet- 
ings and  announcements.  Mrs.  Emily 
Devine  Kelly  '21,  retiring  president  of  the 
General  Alumni  Association,  who  presided 
at  the  huge  gathering  in  Davis  Gym 
wielded  the  gavel  without  fear  nor  favor. 
In  quick  succession  Buck  Shott,  alumni 
secretary,  introduced  the  CJars's  of  1954; 
Bob  Kellar,  1954  class  pre^ii€nt  presented  the 
Class  gift  of  $1,700  to  die  used  to  equip  the 
Bucknell    Treasure    Room    in    the    Ellen 


Clark  Bertrand  Library ;  to  Dr.  Hender- 
son, acting  president,  who  responded  with 
thanks  and  greetings;  and  vice  presidents 
Coleman  and  Ranck  extended  words  of 
greeting.  After  presentation  of  the  distin- 
guished guests.  Dr.  Horn  and  Mr.  Wynn, 
of  the  Olin  Foundation,  and  Ambassador 
Hildreth,  the  twenty-fifth  and  fiftieth  re- 
union classes  were  introduced  by  Mrs. 
Kelly.  Another  surprise  was  injected  into 
the  proceedings  when  Paul  E.  Fink,  presi- 
dent of  the  25th  reunion  Class  of  1929  and 
Robert  W.  Thompson,  president  of  the 
50th  reunion  Class  of  1904  stepped  to  the 
speakers'  platform  and  presented  special 
anniversary  gifts  to  the  Bucknell  Alumni 
Fund  on  behalf  of  their  respective  classes.

FOOTBALL  PROSPECTS 

by  Harry  Lawrence^ 
Head  Football  Coach 

The  1954  season  promises  an  interesting 
and  difficult  series  of  hurdles.  Boston  Uni- 
versity and  Albright  College  will  be  the 
newcomers  to  the  schedule.  Of  our  tra- 
ditional opponents  Colgate,  with  Ail- 
American  quarterback  Dick  Lalla  at  the 
helm,  once  again  looms  as  a  most  formid- 
able opponent. 

Lafayette,  our  Homecoming  foe,  is  defi- 
nitely on  the  comeback  trail  and  has  a  big 
experienced  junior  team  ready  to  pick  up 
where  it  left  off  last  Fall.  Temple,  Dela- 
ware, Gettysburg,  Lehigh  and  Muhlenberg 
all  seem  to  have  the  necessary  nucleus  for 
top  teams  in  1954. 

As  for  the  "Bisons,"  graduation  and 
drop-outs  has  dealt  lightly  with  us  this 
year.  The  Herd  will  have  more  depth 
and  experience  than  last  year,  and  the 
squad  is  determined  to  make  amends  for 
its    first    losing    season    in    years.      John 


Chironna  was  unanimously  elected  Cap- 
tain and  he  promises  a  spirited,  fighting 
ball  club. 

Veteran  players  returning  are:  Jack 
Flurer,  Bob  Antkowiak,  Dick  Klaber,  Ken 
Tashjy,  ends;  Marion  Minker,  Ronnie 
Lloyd,  Joe  Brune,  tackles;  John  Chironna, 
Hank  Popek,  Art  Kinney,  Jack  Wine- 
brenner,  guards;  Roy  Gavert,  Hank  Ow- 
ens, Charlie  Wolfe,  centers;  Bill  Cody, 
Bob  Sierer,  Dick  McCartney,  Ron  Hen- 
dricks, Bob  Ford,  George  Klauder,  Moe 
Finklestein,  backs. 

New  to  the  varsity  will  be  about  fifteen 
inembers  of  last  year's  frosh  squad.  These 
boys  showed  to  good  advantage  in  the 
Spring  work-outs  and  while  in  general 
they  are  very  green,  several  promising 
players  will  give  the  veterans  a  real  fight 
for  position;  and  all  will  help  to  add  depth 
and  spirit  to  the  squad. 

The  varsity  coaching  staff  will  be  the 
same  as  last  year,  with  Bill  Lane  coach- 
ing line  and  Smokey  Ostendarp  coaching 
backfield.      Ben    Kribbs   will   again   coach 


OPENER  AT  HERSHEY 

Team  followers  should  remember 
that  the  opening  football  game  with 
Muhlenberg  is  scheduled  for  the  Her- 
shey  Sports  Stadium  at  Hershey  on 
Saturday  evening,  September  25.  Those 
desiring  football  tickets  in  the  Buck- 
nell  section  should  send  their  orders 
with  check  (at  $2.50  each)  to  Buck- 
nell  University,  Attention  of  Albert  E. 
Humphreys,  Director  of  Athletics, 
without  delay. 


freshmen,  but  for  the  first  time,  will  have 
assistance  in  the  person  of  Franny  Hatton, 
former  Sunbury  High  School  coach.  Fran- 
ny will  coach  the  frosh  line. 

The  sheer  speed  of  Myers  and  Talmage 
days  is  not  available  to  the  1954  squad, 
but  most  of  the  other  ingredients  are  pres- 
ent; and  the  Herd  is  definitely  in  a  posi- 
tion to  improve  on  its  1953  performance. 


TICKETS 

In  accordance  with  the  wishes  of  the  alumni  and  students,  we  have  shifted  the 
students,  team  and  band  back  to  the  West  side  of  the  stadium. 

The  students  and  faculty  have  sections  D,  E,  and  F  and  alumni  sections  B  and  C, 
which  includes  seats  from  the  10  to  45  yard  line.  Alumni  will  have  choice  of  above 
seats  or  fifty-yard  line  seats  on  the  press  box  side  of  the  stadium.  Please  indicate  your 
preference  on  the  application  below. 

If  you  want  to  make  certain  of  choice  seats  for  the  opener,  Dad's  Day  and  Home- 
coming, it  is  advisable  to  get  your  ticket  order  in  early. 

A  special  section  on  the  forty-five  yard  line  will  be  reserved  for  the  class  (of 
fifty  members  or  more)   having  the  highest  percentage  of  contributors. 

To  receive  above  priorities,  application  accompanied  by  check  or  money  order

EMERITUS   CLUB 


Twenty-three  members  of  the  Emeritus 
Club  ranging  in  classes  from  1890  to  1903 
gathered  under  the  leadership  of  President 
John  I.  Woodruff  '90,  with  Dr.  Mark  C. 
Ebersole,  assistant  professor  of  religion,  as 
faculty  host.  Mrs.  Jane  Fowler  Bullis  '03, 
who  became  eligible  for  membership  just  last 
year  probably  traveled  the  greatest  distance 
coming  from  Whittier,  Calif.,  to  attend  her 
first  meeting  as  a  member  of  the  Emeritus 
Club.  Jay  Bond  '03,  also  a  new  member  of 
the  Emeritus  Club,  attended,  setting  an  ex- 
ample that  should  be  followed  by  new  elig- 


ible members— the  example  of  becoming  af- 
filiated with  the  Emeritus  Club  as  soon  as 
possible  after  the  50th  reunion  of  the  class. 
(Are  you  listenin',  Class  of  1904?)  After  the 
meeting  the  veterans  led  the  parade  to  the 
All-Alumni  Luncheon  in  the  gym  and  later 
gathered  at  the  Taylor  St.  House  for  their 
social  gathering. 

Officers  elected  are  president,  Prof.  Frank 
M.  Simpson  '95,  Lewisburg;  vice  president. 
Dr.  Mabel  Grier  Lesher  '01,  Lewisburg;  sec- 
retary, John  M.  Gundy  '97,  Lewisburg;  trea- 
surer, B.  Meade  Wagenseller  '95,  Selinsgrove. 


CLASS  OF   1904 


CLASS  R 


Several  firsts  were  established  when  the 
Class  of  1904  gathered  for  its  50th  reunion. 
Certainly  no  50-year  class  ever  looked  as 
snappy  as  the  04ers  looked  in  their  kelly 
green  Alpine  hats  bedecked  with  red  feathers. 
Another  notable  first  was  the  50th  anniver- 
sary gift  to  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  estab- 
lished by  the  Class  of  1904.  Not  all  the  re- 
unioners  arrived  in  time  for  the  picture;  the 
class  registration  showed  at  least  20  class- 
mates   and    guests    in    attendance.      Coxy 


CLASS  OF  1909 


The  45th  reunion  of  the  Class  of  19C 
the  campus  of  Bucknell  University  has 
become  history,  but  what  memories  for  t 
of  us  who  were  there!     We  came  from 
necticut,    Florida,    Kentucky,    Massachu     i 
Michigan,  New  York,  and  Pennsylvania.   A 
swering  present  were:     Mary  Meyer  Al' 
Herman  Fritz,  Eunice  Hall  Johnson,  Cl.»w 
Lepperd,  Dolly  Leopold  Lillienthal,  John 
Shirley,   Stanton   Smith,   Eugene   Van   Wl 
Mabel  Slout  Weeter,  and  Ida  Sames  Ycag 
The  following  were  there  too  bringing  w: 
them  their  better  or  worse  halves,  as  thf 
may   be:      George   Ballets,   Ansley   Cla; 
Grace  Wolfe  Crandall,  Sarah  Walters  1 
land,  William  Leiser,  Albert  Waffle  O 
Guy  Payne,  Hannah  Mervine  Shultz,  I 
tine     Hyatt     Villalon,     Myrtle     Walkinsh: 
Shupe,     Norman     Wilkinson    and     Hel 
Youngken.  We  were  sorry  to  hear  that  Ne 
ton  Fetter,  New  York,  and  Don  Humm 
fornia,  on  their  way  to  the  reunion  wer 
en  ill  and  had  to  return  home.     We  r 
them    indeed    and    are    hoping   that   by 
they  are  quite  well  again. 


Thompson  ruled  with  an  iron  hand,  ably  as- 
sisted by  Dave  Robinson  and  Caroll  Caru- 
thers.  Dave  came  from  Florida  for  the  re- 
union and  following  his  week's  visit  in  Lew- 
isburg he  and  Mrs.  Robinson  proceeded  to 
the  Maine  coast  where  Dave  unfortunately 
developed  an  abscess  that  landed  him  in  the 
Portsmouth  (N.  H.)  hospital.  We  are  glad 
to  report  however  that  Dave  is  now  recov- 
ered and  feeling  fine  again.

CLASS  OF  1914 


A  thank  you  from  all  of  us  to  Dr.  and  Mrs. 
Hugh  D.  Sims  of  the  faculty  for  being  so 
gracious  as  host  and  hostess  to  our  class. 
We  greatly  appreciate  their  kindness  and 
hope  to  see  them  again  in  1959. 

At  3:00  P.  M..  Saturday,  we  gathered  at 
the  German  House  for  a  delightful  tea.  The 
hostesses  were  Mrs.  William  Leiser  and  Mrs. 
Guy  Payne  assisted  by  their  husbands.  Eve- 
rybody came  earh-  and  stayed  to  chatter  and 
reminisce. 

This  is  being  written  on  a  perfect  day  in 
July  in  this  beautiful  village  of  Little  Valley, 
N.  Y.  We  keep  wondering  whether  it  could 
be  that  other  classmates  are  living  nearby.  If 
so,  we  certainly  are  sorry  to  miss  v'ou  while 
on  our  visit  here.     Send  us  a  letter  instead. 

As  this  year  we  shall  aim  to  have  some 
class  news  in  every  number  of  THE  BUCK- 
NELL  ALUMNUS,  please  keep  it  rolling  in 
to  your  grateful  reporter.

The  "40th"  is  history — and  a  good  time 
was  had  by  all.  Appro.ximately  forty — (one 
for  every  year) — of  us  were  back  for  reunion. 
Friday  evening  a  merry  crowd  ate  supper  to- 
gether in  the  men's  dining  hall.  LTniversity 
Avenue — the  old  Miller  home  to  us.  Satur- 
day morning,  in  room  107  Vaughan  Building, 
we  assembled  for  a  business  meeting.  We 
were  greeted  bj'  prexy  Riley  with  the  words 
"we  don't  look  so  good."  He  was  promptly 
boo-ed  down.  We  felt  good  and  we  looked 
GOOD.  If  you  don't  believe  it  look  at  our 
picture!  We  re-elected  all  officers  and  even 
added  a  treasurer,  Mary  Kunkle,  to  handle 
our  growing  funds. 

After  ceremonies  for  the  new  science  build- 
ing, we  joined  the  marchers  on  the  way  to 
the  gym  and  lunch.  We  filled  two  tables  and 
can  still  cheer  as  lustily  as  the  best  of  them. 

Sixth  Street  House  was  ours  for  the  after- 
noon. Edna  Whittam  Glover  outdid  herself. 
She  arranged  a  wonderful  party  with  punch, 
cookies  and  all  the  trimmin's.  She  was 
unanimously  re-elected  chairman  on  arrange- 
ments for  all  time  to  come.  Crissy  delighted 
us  with  movies  of  our  25th  and  a  jolly  hour 


was  spent  in  telling  stones  ot  college  days. 
Sammy  Markowitz  topped  with  his  tales  of 
the  pea-green  freshman.  The  old  one-how 
he  paid  25c  for  his  radiator  but  how  he 
wised  up  when  the  bold  soph  wanted  him 
to  pay  $1.00  for  the  wall-paper.  A  little  of 
the  green  had  faded  and  he  saved  his  money 
by  telling  the  salesman  to  take  the  paper. 
Harry  Weaver  thanked  one  and  all  for  help- 
ing us  celebrate  our  36th  wedding  anniver- 
sary. I  thank  you  too.  You  didn't  know  it 
but  'tis  true. 

Reluctantly  we  knew  the  hour  had  come  to 
part.  With  farewells  and  one  more  happy 
memory  of  old  Bucknell  to  stow  away,  we 
disperse.  So  adieu,  a  fond  adieu,  till  we  meet 
again. 

Corrected  Address:  Helen  Ott  Oesterle 
(Mrs.  Eric),  114  E.  188th  St.,  New  York  68, 
N.  Y.  Apologies  for  this  error  and  any 
others  that  mav'  appear  in  "Who's  Who  '14 
B.  U."  Our  thanks  to  Mr.  Shott  and  the 
alumni  office  staff  for  mailing  copies  to 
absentees.

CLASS  OF  1919 


The  1919er3  turned  out  in  goodly  numbers 
for  the  meeting  at  the  Vaughan  Literature 
Building — 31  of  them  with  21  wives  and 
children^ — although  22  more  who  had  hoped 
to  come,  were  unable  to  get  there.  It  was 
the  best  attendance  at  a  reunion  that  we  have 
ever  had. 


We  were  joined  by  Toniiny  Maiigan,  Ed 
Ashman,  Joe  Dent,  and  Don  f^aher,  who  had 
all  started  out  with  us,  but  because  of  World 
War  I  service  had  finished  ui)  with  later 
classes.  In  fact  we  tried  lo  ring  Buck  Shott 
in  with  us  and  he  went  so  far  as  to  wear  the 
1919  Derby  with  us,     We  made  a  good  show- 


ing  in  the  parade  down  the  Hill  to  the  Gym, 
though  we  couldn't  match  the  1929  Ford  that 
the  '29  class  had. 

There  was  the  usual  good  food  at  the 
Luncheon  and  then  we  adjourned  to  the 
Edwards  House  for  a  social  hour.  Sam 
Abrams  showed  us  that  he  is  still  a  master 
at  the  piano,  and  sprung  a  surprise  on  us  by 
doing  several  piano  duets  with  his  attractive 
daughter,  who  seems  to  have  inherited  Red's 
talent  with  the  keys. 

A  roll  call  of  all  members  of  the  class  was 
made  by  the  permanent  Class  President, 
Frank  Jones,  and  information  pooled  by  all 
present  with  regard  to  any  absentees.  Al- 
though most  of  what  we  know  has  come  in 
through  answers  to  the  35-Year  L'Agenda, 
we  must  acknowledge  that  Tommy  Mangan 
has  probably  seen  or  talked  to  more  of  our 
classmates  than  anyone  else  in  the  last  few 
years,  by  making  it  a  point  to  look  up  Buck- 
nellians  whenever  he  travels. 

Until  a  volunteer  comes  forward,  Frank 
Jones  will  act  as  reporter,  so  write  him  news 
for  1919.     The  3S-Year  L'Agenda  with  write- 


ups  of  almost  half  the  class  can  be  called  a 
success  to  judge  from  the  comment  about  it. 
There  are  about  35  copies  of  the  35- Year 
L'Agenda  on  hand.  If  you  have  not  yet  re- 
ceived one  you  may  obtain  a  copy  b3r  sending 
$1.00  to  John  H.  Shott,  Alumni  Secretary, 
Bucknell  University. 

With  half  the  class  contributing  to  the 
Alumni  Fund,  the  total  and  percentage  for 
the  5'ear  surpasses  anything  previously  done 
by  1919.     Hurray  for  our  side! 

Frank  Rorabach  and  Ben  Markowitz  came 
all  the  way  east  for  the  reunion  from  Bloom- 
ington,  Illinois,  but  Charlie  Wainwright  came 
a  greater  distance — from  Winter  Haven, 
Florida,  where  he  is  a  state  highway  engi- 
neer. Norman  Finger  and  Harry  Angel  had 
to  come  to  this  reunion  to  find  that  they  have 
worked  for  the  same  company  (Bethlehem 
Steel)  for  many  years!  And  your  reporter 
hadn't  seen  any  of  the  five  since  1919  except 
Harry.

President. 


CLASS  RE 


CLASS  OF  1924 


"Ain't    it    funny    that   some    folks    you    can't 
miss. 
An'  some  folks  you  jus'  miss  a  pile 
An'  the  folks  that  you  can't  miss  you  see  lots, 
An'  the  other  folks,  once  in  awhile." 

— Carrie  Jacobs  Bond 

Alumni  Day,  June  twelfth,  will  long  be 
remembered  by  forty-four  members  of  the 
Class  of  1924.  The  committee,  for  our  thir- 
tieth reunion  worked  for  months  on  plans  to 
make  this  one  surpass  all  others.  In  fact, 
the  warning  to  list  all  members  as  deceased, 
unless  the  questionnaires  were  answered, 
brought  prompt  results! 

Our  first  meeting,  Friday  evening,  was  an 
outdoor  buffet  dinner  at  the  Milton  Country 
Club.  The  weather  was  perfect,  the  setting 
ideal,  and  those  reminiscing  found  the  words 
of  Carrie  Jacobs  Bond  all  too  true. 

Alumni  Day,  Saturday,  was  one  round  of 
activities  from  early  breakfast  at  the  Bison  to 
the  closing  of  the  Jamboree  in  Davis  Gym 
that  evening.  Our  business  meeting  was 
highlighted  by  receiving  our  souvenir  book- 
lets, canes,  balloons  and  badges  (our  official 
insignia   for   the  Alumni    Parade),   our   class

picture  and  the  election  of  officers.  (By  the 
way,  if  any  member  paid  for  a  booklet  and 
did  not  receive  it,  please  get  in  touch  with 
Mrs.  W.  Calver  Moore,  446  S.  49th  Street, 
Philadelphia,  Penna.)  Class  •  officers  elected 
were  as  follows:  president,  Edwin  D.  Robb; 
vice  president,  Foster  D.  Jemison;  secretary, 
Mrs.  Clarence  Shaffer ;  treasurer.  Rev.  R.  O. 
Hudson;  class  reporter,  Mrs.  Paul  J.  Cupp; 
class  fund  manager.  Dr.  Merl  G.  Colvin. 

The  Alumni  Luncheon  was  the  usual  hap- 
py affair  at  which  time  one  had  the  pleasure 
of  seeing,  meeting,  and  talking  with  dear 
friends  of  other  classes.  This  was  truly  a 
grand  introduction  to  the  family  party  which 
followed  immediately  afterwards  at  Walker 
House,  attended  by  seventy-four  husbands, 
wives  and  children. 

The  Jamboree,  in  the  gym  that  evening, 
and  the  play,  "Othello",  climaxed  the  day's 
activities.  Everyone  who  returned  to  Buck- 
nell declared  our  thirtieth  reunion  the  best 
ever  and  faithfully  promised  to  return  to  the 
next  one!

CLASS  OF   1929 


What  a  glorious  "6000  years"  the  class:  of 
1929  has  had!  Who  would  have  dreamed 
that  out  of  our  depression  class  would  have 
come  famous  doctors,  prominent  lawyers, 
nationally  known  business  executives,  teach- 
ers, community  leaders,  and  last,  but  not 
least,  the  able  circulation  manager  of  Wil- 
liamsport's  Grit — our  own  President  Paul? 
Yes,  all  have  done  well. 

Your  reporter  is  so  enthused  about  every 
minute  of  the  reunion  that  she  is  a  bit  be- 
wildered where  to  begin  her  story.  On  Fri- 
day evening,  we  found  Martha  Von  Neida 
Waterbury  on  duty  at  the  reception  desk, 
greeting  one  and  all  as  they  came  in  to  regis- 
ter in  old  Carnegie  Library.  Of  course,  your 
president  Paul  E.  Fink  and  "Yours  Truly" 
were  on  hand  also. 

Saturday's  activities  started  off  with  a  class 
meeting  in  the  new  Bertrand  Library,  where 
Prof.  Clyde  Burgee  welcomed  class  mem- 
bers, wives,  husbands  and  children  on  behalf 
of  our  beloved  University. 

At  this  time  the  reunion  booklet,  "6000 
Years  of  the  Class  of  1929",  was  presented. 
Your  reporter  takes  pride  in  the  excellent 
work  done  by  our  president  and  Emily  Wil- 
liams Riemensynder  on  this  issue  of  L'Agenda, 
twenty-five  years  later.  They  both  deserve 
our  thanks. 

The  next  order  of  business  was  the  election 
of  class  officers.  The  following  officers  were 
elected  by  acclamation:  president,  Paul  Fink;

CLASS  OF   1934 


V  ce   president,   William   "Turk"   Jones;   sec- 
rctarj'-treasurer,   Thelma   J.    Showalter. 

Following  the  meeting,  we  adjourned  to 
toe  front  of  the  Literature  Building  where 
lurk  had  a  1929  model  Ford  in  action.  Those 
of  you  who  were  not  with  us  on  June  12  will 
have  an  opportunity  to  see  it  in  the  class 
picture.  Our  boy  Turk  really  did  a  bang-up 
job  toward  making  our  25th  a  big  success. 
I  ater.  he  along  with  Bill  Mahood  and  John- 
nie Gittens  rode  in  st3-le  in  our  Ford  to  the 
.■\Iumni  Luncheon.  The  highlight  of  the 
luncheon  for  the  Class  of  '29  was  the  presen- 
tation of  a  check  in  the  amount  of  $1500  by 
our  president  to  the  Alumni  Fund.  We  are 
justly  proud  of  the  fact  that  ours  was  the  first 
class  to  make  a  contribution  as  a  class  to  the 
Fund.  We  trust  that  it  will  serve  as  an 
inspiration  to  other  reuning  classes  in  the 
future. 

From  the  luncheon,  we  moved  on  to  the 
Milton  Country  Club,  where  good  fellowship 
ruled  supreme  as  long  as  even  two  members 
of  the  class  remained. 

Yes.  it  was  truly  a  big  day.  Your  reporter 
wishes  that  she  had  the  gift  to  write  so  that 
each  of  you  who  missed  being  with  us  might 
in  some  small  way  live  for  a  few  moments  the 
joy  and  happiness  of  our  "Day  of  Days." 

May  I  confess  that  in  the  midst  of  a  rather 
busy  life,  your  reporter  finds  herself  dream- 
ing up  ideas  for  our  30th  in  1959.

Twenty-nine  members  of  the  Class  of  '34 
returned  to  Bucknell  with,  perhaps,  a  feeling 
of  turning  back  the  clock.  Each  one  of  us 
was  a  bit  apprehensive.  Time  can  be  not 
only  a  healer,  but  a  devastation  on  hair  lines 
and  waist  lines ! 

When  we  gathered  in  the  Ellen  Clarke 
Bertrand  Library,  it  seemed  that  the  clock 
had  really  stopped  in  1934.  The  women 
looked  like  "Sem  Gems"  and  the  men  were 
handsome! 

Sanford  Barcus  presided  at  the  meeting 
and  introduced  our  Faculty  Host,  Professor 
John  Gold.  A  message  from  President  Eddie 
Myers  was  read  and  we  regret  that  he  was 
unable  to  be  with  us  because  he  was  at  work 
on  the  new  labor  contract  for  United  States 
Steel. 

An  election  was  held  with  the  following 
officers  elected:  president,  Edward  C.  Myers; 
vice  president,  Sherburne  B.  Walker;  secre- 
tary, Marie  Steinbach  Fox;  treasurer,  Vin- 
cent B.  Wayland;  class  fund  manager,  Frank 
E.  Gerlitz,  Jr.;  class  reporter,  Ruth  Rohr 
Liming. 


Dorothy  Kester  was  the  member  who  had 
travelled  farthest  in  order  to  attend.  Dotty 
is  doing  a  marvelous  job  as  coordinator  of 
speech  education  in  the  public  schools  of 
Akron,  Ohio. 

Most  of  us  were  quite  surprised  and  very 
pleased  to  hear  that  we  have  money  in  our 
Class  Treasury.  After  discussion,  it  was 
decided  to  keep  the  money  for  another  five 
years  and  then  decide  on  its  disposition. 

Walter  Ruch  did  a  magnificent  job  of  edit- 
ing the  reunion  booklet.  We  are  listed  bio- 
graphically  and  statistically  as  "a  preponder- 
ately  church-going.  Republican,  child-rear- 
ing, middle  class,  club-joining,  car  and  home- 
owning  group." 

We  really  had  a  marvelous  time!  We 
chattered,  wore  Lidian  Headdresses,  marched 
in  a  parade,  sent  up  balloons,  and  later  had  a 
purely  social  meeting.  Sherb  Walker  will  be 
in  charge  of  Hospitality  at  our  25th  and  its 
not  too  early  now  to  plan  to  "Shine  in  '59." 

— Marie  Steinbach  Fox, 
Secretary. 


CLASS  OF   1939 


The  meeting  opened  with  a  pleasant  greet- 
ing from  our  president,  Jack  Gaiilt,  who  then 
asked  if  there  was  a  report  on  a  previous 
meeting.  There  was  none,  so  the  first  order 
of  business  was  the  election  of  new  officers. 
The  new  officers  are:  president,  Hob  Smith; 
vice  president,  Bernice  Henry  Ralhmill; 
secretary,  Mildred  Stabler  (iollnicU;  trea- 
surer, Kurt  Manrodl,  Jr.;  class  fund  manager, 
Leonard  O.  I'Viedman;  class  reporter,  Davi' 
|}agcnstose. 

The  formal  business  over,  llu'  ineeliiig  re- 
solved itself  into  a  real  reunion,  with  the 
members  present  each  introducing  Ihem- 
sclves,    giving    a    short    history    of    their    15 


years  as  alumni — where  they  lived,  wlial  tliey 
were  doing,  and  the  status  of  their  families. 

lUid  Uunhani,  from  IJetroit,  Mich,  came 
the  farthest  of  those  who  made  the  meeting, 

ICveryone  was  amazed  at  the  size  of  some 
of  the  families  produced  by  (juite  a  few  of 
our  39'ers! 

Dave  Bagcnslose  received  much  deserved 
praise  for  (he  reunion  book.  ICveryoiic  .-igreed 
that  it  was  a  grand  job. 

The    meeling   was    adjourned    so    that    we 
could  get   down   to  the  lawn  in   front  of  the 
l.iteraturr   liuildiiig  for  our  class  picture.

CLASS  OF   1944 


Our  10th  reunion  is  now  a  part  of  the  past, 
but  like  Freshman  Week  in  1940  through 
Commencement  in  1944,  a  very  memorable 
part,  thanks  to  the  26  members  who  jour- 
neyed from  all  corners  to  make  it  so. 

Perhaps  we  were  all  fooling  ourselves,  but 
it  was  agreed  generally  that  everyone  was 
recognizable  and  ten  years  had  wrought  no 
great  change.  However,  we  all  seemed  to 
appear  more  normal  by  Saturday  night,  hav- 
ing acquired  that  lack-of-sleep  look  symbolic 
of  the  years  1940-44.  One  of  the  nicest 
phases  (to  me,  anyway)  was  the  way  we  all 
just  sort  of  "took  up"  where  we  left  10  years 
ago,  and  in  several  instances  became  better 
acquainted  with  some  whose  paths  seldom 
crossed  ours  while  we  were  in  school.  It 
was  also  nice  meeting  the  wives  and  husbands 
who  hadn't  gone  to  Bucknell  and  who  were 
so  tolerant  of  the  rest  of  us!  The  weekend 
was  just  wonderful,  and  I'm  all  ready  to  start 
campaigning  for  1959. 

At  our  business  meeting  on  Saturday 
morning  Bill  Schnure  took  over  in  Hank 
Puff's  absence,  with  the  following  officers 
elected:  president,  Mai  Lewis  Strittmatter; 
vice  president.  Bob  Baker;  treasurer.  Bill 
Schnure;  secretary,  Janet  Leach;  fund  man- 
ager, Ray  Irwin;  and  I  was  blessed  again 
with  Class  Reporter.  (Speaking  of  Ray,  he 
was  chairman  of  the  entire  Commencement 
and  Reunion  weekend,  and  did  a  terrific  job 


...  '44  was  mighty  proud.)  The  meeting 
should  be  classified  as  basically  social,  al- 
though we  did  vote  unanimously  to  send  two 
telegrams  to  absent  members  .  .  .  one  to 
Bob  Keegan  who  was  to  pitch  against  the 
N.  Y.  Yankees  the  next  afternoon,  and  the 
other  to  Dr.  Gordon  Brownell  who  had  been 
invited  to  California  to  present  his  latest 
advancements  in  cancer  research  before  the 
American  Medical  Association. 

Hope  we're  all  recognizable  in  the  picture. 
The  few  who  didn't  make  it  in  time  to  be 
photographed  were  Gene  Matthews,  Jim 
Brady,  Nip  Edmunds,  Jack  Stockton,  and 
Ray  Irwin. 

Without  question,  the  ones  who  traveled 
farthest  to  be  with  us  were  Sandy  Sanger 
and  his  wife  all  the  way  from  California. 
Had  we  the  means  to  award  prizes,  the  sec- 
ond one  would  have  gone  to  the  Gene  Levitts 
and  their  two  sons  for  a  550  mile  journey 
from  Ohio. 

Everything  was  arranged  wonderfully  by 
the  LTniversity  (AND  Ray!)  and  the  lunch- 
eon (1026  people  there)  was  perfect.  So,  it 
isn't  too  early  to  look  ahead  and  start  think- 
ing of  our  15th.  We  missed  so  many  of  you 
who  couldn't  come,  but  certainly  enjoyed 
being  with  the  ones  who  did  .  .  .  and  thank 
you  again  and  again  for  making  the  weekend 
so  memorable.

CLASS  RE 


June  12th!  What  a  beautiful  spring  day! 
And  what  a  wonderful  day  for  our  class 
reunion ! 

For  some  of  the  Class  of  '49  the  reunion 
may  have  started  Friday  night  but  for  most 
of  us  Saturday  was  the  big  day.  At  first 
things  seemed  a  little  strange  to  us  since  a 
new  library  and  a  new  Lambda  Chi  Alpha 
house  had  appeared  on  the  campus.  Soon, 
however,  we  saw  familiar  faces  and  we  were 
home  again. 

Our  first  meeting  of  the  returning  mem- 
bers was  held  in  Vaughan  Literature  Build- 
ing in  the  morning.  Robert  Camac,  presi- 
dent, presided  at  the  meeting.  We  were 
proud  to  see  about  59  people  here.  The 
number  at  this  meeting  was  not,  to  be  sure, 
all  who  were  back  because  many  of  the  class 
did  not  appear  on  the  campus  until  later  that 
afternoon. 

At  the  meeting.  Dale  Hay  was  elected 
chairman  of  our  next  reunion  committee.  To 
aid  Dale,  Barbara  Jones  Purnell  was  chosen. 
Other  volunteers  were  accepted  to  help  Dale. 

Many  thanks  went  to  Natalie  Dann  Craum- 

CLASS  OF  1953 


CLASS  OF  1949 


The  class  of  '53  didn't  come  out  to  our  first 
reunion  in  great  numbers,  but  we  were  in 
great  spirits!  It  felt  like  home  to  walk  into 
the  Bertrand  Library  and  see  so  many  faces 
for  the  first  time  since  graduation. 

Vice  President  Norm  Freytag  called  the 
meeting  to  order  and  was  promptly  elected 
President  of  the  class,  since  former  president 
Harry  McSorley  is  now  devoting  all  his  time 
to  divinity  school  studies.  Mel  Woodward 
was  elected  Vice  President. 

Next,  the  person  who  traveled  the  greatest 
distance  to  get  to  reunion  was  determined, 
and  the  honor  went  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Greg 
Doescher  who  came  from  Fort  Devon,  Mass. 
They  didn't  come  quite  as  far  as  Ambassador 
and  Mrs.  Hildreth,  but  it  was  a  sizable  dis- 
tance ! 

Mr.  Ohl,  who  acted  as  faculty  host,  then 
caught  us  up  on  the  campus  news,  including 
sports.  Men's  Student  Government,  social 
pro,  racial  discrimination  in  fraternities,  and

er  for  the  endless  hours  she  spent  on  prepar- 
ing the  reunion  book  '"49  plus  5." 

At  the  all  Alumni  Luncheon  we  enjoyed 
our  lunch  of  chicken  salad,  peas,  potatoes, 
rolls,  ice  cream  and  cookies.  And  how  we 
consumed  the  ice  water  for  it  was  certainly 
a  warm,  warm  day — just  like  the  warm  day, 
June  6th.  5  years  ago!     Remember? 

That  afternoon  we  met  in  Stephens  House 
for  a  good  old  gab  session.  Having  left  thi 
formal  meetings  behind,  we  spent  several 
hours  learning  what  had  happened  to  each 
other  in  five  long  years.  Some  of  us  had  put 
on  a  little  weight  and  some  of  us  had  lost 
some  hair  but  on  the  whole  each  one  of  us 
seemed  exactly  the   same. 

We  left  this  pleasant  gathering  to  attend 
our  symposia  or  to  have  dinner  with  friends 
in  preparation  for  the  Alumni  Jamboree  and 
Reception  in  Davis  Gj'mnasium  or  for 
""Othello",  the  Cap  and  Dagger  play.  Thus 
we  ended  a  wonderful  day  at  our  Sth  year 
reunion!

all    the   other    news    we    craved,    still    being 
students  at  heart. 

Attired  in  our  very  fetching  hats  we  posed 
for  our  Kroup  picture,  then  witnessed  the 
Kround  breaking  ceremony  of  the  new  sci- 
ence building.  Tagging  along  at  the  end  of 
a  very  long  line  of  alums,  we  paraded  to  the 
alumni  luncheon  which  was  a  gala  affair,  each 
class  trying  to  outdo  the  other  in  raising  their 
numerals   highest,   via   balloons. 

It  was  a  gratifying  experience  to  be  a  part 
of  the  class  reunion.  Unfortunately,  a  lot  of 
'he  manpower  ol  the  class  is  in  uniform  and 
unable  to  gad  about  as  of  old.  And  others, 
■1-,  .Mr.  OhI  said  at  our  meeting,  really  don't 
ii-el  like  alums  yet — it's  a  feclin"  that  grows 
with  age.  So,  older  and  wiser,  let's  all  plan 
to  be  together  at  our  next  reunion.  It's  an 
•  vent  that  can  be  called — for  lack  of  stronger 
word* — truly  refreshing.

The  Class  of  '54  entered  into  the  activities 
of  that  long  anticipated  commencement 
weekend  almost  mechanically,  as  we  realized 
with  disbelief  that  four  whole  years  had 
quickly  slipped  away. 

Old  man  sun,  who  has  been  known  fre- 
quentljr  to  hide  his  face  from  the  300  acres, 
beamed  his  approval  throughout  the  whole 
weekend. 

Although  we  were  but  infant  members  of 
the  Alumni  Association,  we  had  no  trouble 
assimilating  our  farewell  with  the  schedule 
of  the  many  reuning  alums.  One  of  the 
highlights  of  the  weekend  was  the  ground- 
breaking ceremony  for  the  new  Science 
building,  a  gift  of  the  Olin  Foundation.  In 
a  few  years  I  wonder  if  we  will  recognize 
our  Bucknell  with  all  the  construction  plans. 

Probably  the  best  representation  of  our 
class  as  a  group  (other  than  the  commence- 
ment exercises)  was  the  All-Alumni  Lunch- 
eon. The  Class  of  '54  was  last  in  the  proces- 
sion, but  we  boasted  one  of  the  few  motor 
vehicles  in  the  line-up,  that  memorable  red 
convertible  laden  down  with  exhausted 
seniors. 

Saturday  night  offered  the  traditional  Sym- 


posia, the  Jamboree,  and  the  Cap  and  Dagger 
production,  "Othello." 

That  element  of  doubt  remained  in  the 
mind  of  each  graduating  senior  until  11:35 
A.  M.  when  each  of  us  had  received  the  offi- 
cial sheepskin.  Upon  the  conclusion  of  the 
exercises  the  campus  took  on  the  aspect  of 
a  beehive;  it  was  farewell  to  a  climactic  week- 
end and  to  student  life  at  Bucknell.

LETTERS 


Dear  Friends : 

With  our  class  president.  Dr.  Mary  B.  Harris, 
abroad,  I  assume  the  privilege  of  reporting  that 
the  Institute  Class  of  1894  was  represented  at 
its  60th  anniversary  in  June  1954  by  four  of  its 
loyal  members:  Mrs.  Alice  Probasco  Mulford, 
Bridgeton,  N.  J.;  Miss  Mabel  Callender,  Dal- 
ton;  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Bates  Hoffman,  Lewisburg; 
Mrs.  Mabel  Thomas  Topping,  Stratford,  N.  J. 

We  saw  many  changes  in  Bucknell.  but  many 
said  they  saw  little  change  in  us.  Our  spirits 
and  loyalty  at  least  are  unchanged,  but  60  years 
are  a  long  time  to  remain  static. 

With  every  good  wish  for  dear  Bucknell  and 
all  its  alumni, 
—  (Mks.  WiM.iA.M  H.)  Mauki.  Thomas  Topping

CLUB  ACTIVITIES 


BELLEFONTE— Dean  Malcolm  E. 
Musser  was  the  chief  speaker  at  a  meet- 
ing of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of  Belle- 
fonte  on  May  21.  He  told  the  assembled 
Bucknellians  of  Centre  County  of  his  in- 
teresting experiences  in  his  service  as 
Dean  of  Men  on  the  Bucknell  Campus. 

An  election  resulted  in  the  selection  of 
William  G.  Jones  '29,  Philipsburg,  as 
president;  L.  F.  Hartman  '24,  State  Col- 
lege, vice-president;  and  Mrs.  Herman  E. 
Abbott  (Mary  M.  Meyer  '09),  Rebersburg, 
secretary-treasurer.  Franklin  H.  Cook 
'33,  served  as  chairman  of  the  meeting, 
and  Mrs.  Elmer  Decker  (Grace  Gorman 
'32)  made  arrangements  for  the  dinner 
held  at  the  Corner  Tea  Room. 

CINCINNATI— Bucknellians  from  the 
Cincinnati  area  met  at  the  Hotel  Alms  on 
April  19  to  hear  a  report  from  Registrar 
George  R.  Faint  '25,  on  campus  activities 
and  achievements.  The  meeting  was  ar- 
ranged by  Ralph  Ford  '38,  Chairman  of 
the  area  group. 

LEHIGH  VALLEY— Bucknellians  from 
Allentown,  Bethlehem,  Easton  and  sur- 
rounding area  met  at  the  Hotel  Traylor  in 
Allentown  on  June  4.  H.  Spencer  Car- 
lough  '50,  president,  conducted  the  busi- 
ness meeting  at  which  the  following  offi-

'42,  president;  H.  Spencer  Carlough  'SO, 
vice-president;  and  Ann  L.  Hahn  '52,  sec- 
retary-treasurer. 

The  principal  speaker  of  the  evening 
was  Dr.  Paul  E.  Witmeyer,  professor  of 
education  at  Bucknell.  Dr.  Witmeyer  pre- 
sented some  of  today's  problems  of  colle- 
giate education  and  traced  some  of  the 
future  plans  of  the  campus  building 
program. 

Buck  Shott,  alumni  secretary,  spoke 
briefly  about  the  Alumni  Association  and 
encouraged  increased  alumni  interest  in 
student  selection.  Following  the  program 
of  the  evening  Bucknellians  from  the  Le- 
high Valley  area  enjoyed  a  social  hour. 

Ann  Hahn  '52,  Secretary 

MINNEAPOLIS— The  meeting  of  Buck- 
nellian  Baptists  held  in  connection  with  the 
American  Baptist  Convention  in  Minne- 
apolis attracted  a  larger  than  usual  crowd, 
27  Bucknellians  from  all  over  the  United 
States  being  in  attendance.  The  meeting 
was  conducted  by  Dr.  Romeyn  H.  Riven- 
burg  '97,  dean  emeritus  of  Bucknell. 
Everybody  is  looking  forward  to  the  con- 
vention in  1955  to  be  held  in  Atlantic  City 
when  even  more  Bucknellian  Baptists 
should  be  able  to  attend. 

PROVIDENCE— Bucknellians  from  the 
Providence  Club  ended  the  first  year  of 
their  organization  with  a  picnic  at  Arca- 
dia State  Park  in  Rhode  Island. 

Plans  for  next  year  were  discussed  and 
it  was  decided  that  three  meetings  would 
be  held.  The  following  schedule  was  ar- 
ranged. On  Friday,  October  29th,  the  eve 
of  the  Bucknell  vs.  Boston  University 
football  game,  a  dinner  party  will  take 
place.  For  the  second  meeting,  another 
Birthday  Party  is  scheduled  on  next  Feb- 
ruary 5th.  John  Wilbur  '48  graciously 
offered  his  forty-foot  cabin  cruiser  to  the 
lucky  Bucknellians  here  for  a  nautical  out- 
ing in  June.  This  will  be  our  third  and  last 
get-together. 

We  look  forward  to  an  ever  growing, 
active  alumni  club  in  the  Providence  area 
this  coming  1954-55  season.

Secretary

Bob  Keegaii  Fan  Club 

Members  of  the  Bob  Keegan  fan  club 
(and  that  probably  includes  many  Buck- 
nellians) had  a  dinner  in  New  York  in 
mid-July  prior  to  a  Yankee- White  Sox 
baseball  game.  After  the  game  the  gang 
of  25  Bucknellians,  many  of  them  Sigma 
Chi's.  met  with  Bob.  At  press  time  his 
pitching  record  for  the  season  is  15  wins 
and  7  lost,  which  accounts  in  large  measure 
for  the  splendid  record  the  Chicago  White 
Sox  are  making  this  year.

re-elected  for  his  fourth  term  as  presi- 
dent of  the  Tourist  Club  of  Daytona

Advancing  years  and  distance  inter-

the  Cla.ss  of  1899.  The  meeting  was  held 
at  the  home  of  the  class  reporter  and  his 
wife,  but  Cober  and  wife  and  Anna 
Halfpenny  Reitz,  Mus.,  were  the  only 
ones  to  appear  in  person.  We  were 
glad,  however,  to  find  Engle  at  the 
Alumni  Luncheon  —  an  annual  event 
now  which  alone  makes  it  well  worth 
while  for  any  alumnus  to  be  here  at 
Commencement  time.

At  the  reunion  meeting  letters  were 
read  from  Calvin,  Hazen,  Hutchinson, 
Ivins,  Krise,  Meserve,  and  Gertrude 
Stephens  Downs  —  not  a  bad  record 
with  fifteen  surviving  members  from  a 
class  of  forty-six. 

A  vase  of  beautiful  flowers,  the 
thoughtful  gift  of  Joe  Hazen  was  much 
appreciated,  as  was  the  gift  of  class 
canes  for  the  occasion  by  Gertrude 
Stephens  Downs.

vei'sity  of  Alaska  and  who  served  as 
president  of  the  institution  for  thirty

Secret  Diary  of  Harold  L.  lakes.  Dated 
Saturday,  August  13,  1938,  this  portion 
of  Mr.  lakes'  record  read:  "This  morn- 
ing at  Fairbanks  Dr.  Bunnell,  president 
of  the  University  of  Alaska  .  .  .  called 
and  we  went  with  him  to  see  his  insti- 
tution. I  had  met  Dr.  Bunnell  former- 
ly in  Washington.  He  is  one  of  the  out- 
standing citizens  of  Alaska  and  he  is 
doing  a  fine  job  here.  He  used  to  be  a 
United  States  judge,  having  been  ap- 
pointed by  President  Wilson,  but  he 
has  been  head  of  the  University  of 
Alaska  for  some  thirteen  years."

Doctor  of  Literature  to  him  at  the  Buck- 
nell Commencement  in  June.  In  the 
presentation  for  the  degree  Doctor 
Rockwell  was  cited  as  a  "teacher,  edi- 
tor, and  philologist,  who  for  half  a  cen- 
tury has  inspired  in  his  students  a  re- 
spect for  learning  and  for  thorough-

Dr.  Winfield  Scott  Booth,  Sr.  passed 
away  last  April  30  in  the  Hackensack 
(N.  J.)  Hospital.  He  was  71.  Very  ac- 
tive in  alumni  affairs,  including  the 
presidency  of  his  Class  of  1908  for  many 
years.  Dr.  Booth,  better  known  by  class- 
mates as  "Buster,"  received  his  master 
of  arts  degree  from  Bucknell  in  1910, 
two  years  after  graduating  summa  cum 
laude  froin  the  school  of  liberal  arts. 
From  here  he  went  to  Crozer  Theologi- 
cal Seminary  where  he  earned  his 
bachelor  of  divinity  degree  in  1911  and 
his  master  of  theology  degree  in  1922. 
In  1931,  an  honorary  degree  of  doctor 
of  divinity  was  bestowed  upon  him  by 
Bucknell. 

An  Army  Chaplain  with  the  rank  of 
captain  in  World  War  I,  Dr.  Booth  held 
pastorates  at  the  First  Baptist  Church 
of  Harrisburg,  the  First  Baptist  Church 
of  CoUingswood,  N.  J.,  and  the  Clinton 
Avenue  Baptist  Church  of  Newark,  N. 
J.  He  also  was  executive  secretary  of 
the  Baptist  Extension  Society,  Newark, 
N.  J.  from  1926  to  1944. 

A  member  of  Delta  Sigma,  now  Delta 
Upsilon,  Dr.  Booth  is  survived  by  his 
widow,  the  former  Evora  P.  Mailey,  and 
their  son,  Winfield  S.  Booth,  Jr.  '39.  His 
classmates  and  the  University  family 
extend  heartfelt  sympathy  to  the

All  of  you  1910ors!  It's  time  now  to 
begin  planning  to  be  in  Lewisburg  in 
June  for  that  45th  reunion.  Come  your- 
self and  round-up  your  friends.  Let's 
make  it  a  big  occasion. 

Word  comes  from  William  Gatehouse 
that  he  is  looking  forward  to  the  1910's 
45th  reunion  next  spring  with  great  an- 
ticipation. Bill  was  forced  to  retire 
from  a  v(?rsatile  career  in  1942  due  to 
ill  hc-iith,

When  we  arrived  in  Lewisburg  for 
the  Alumni  Luncheon  in  June  we  head- 
ed for  the  Carnegie  Building  (the  old 
library)  to  pick  up  our  luncheon  tick- 
ets. By  the  way,  have  you  seen  that 
building?  Well,  you  wouldn't  know 
it — all  dressed  up — the  floors  are  so 
polished  that  you  couldn't  see  the  shine 
on  your  nose.  Just  have  to  watch  your 
step!  Not  nearly  so  nice  as  when  we 
went  to  school.  We  used  to  sit  at  the 
long  tables  pretending  to  study  and 
holding  hands  under  the  table.  But 
they  suit  the  building  to  the  people 
and  this  generation  doesn't  need  a  place 
like  that  —  they  hold  hands  on  the 
street. 

When  I  came  out  of  the  building 
there  were  the  Heans,  Mikles,  Conners, 
"Rip"  Ruth  and  "Sal"  Fisher.  We  all 
started  for  the  gymnasium  in  order  to 
get  a  seat  before  the  "old  timers"  made 
their  appearance.  During  the  lunch- 
eon I  saw  Leon  Crandall  '12  and  Grace 
leave — saw  Dave  McNeal  and  Alberta 
at  a  distance,  said  "hello"  to  Pearl  Wil- 
liams and  Frank.  Looked  all  around 
for  Eva  Himmelreich  Apgar  and  Roy 
because  I  knew  he  was  celebrating  his 
40th.  No  luck!  When  "Buck"  made  his 
remarks  during  the  luncheon  meeting 
he  said  "We  had  reservations  for  400 
people — we  fed  1,000."  Miraculous!  The 
dietician  must  live  right  for  that 
'stretching'  was  almost  like  the  five 
loaves  and  two  fishes  feeding  the  5,000, 
not  including  the   children. 

This  is  when  I  dislike  being  a  re- 
porter when  I  have  a  death  to  report. 
Robert  Augustus  Stoughton,  63,  Cov- 
ington, Va.,  died  Tuesday,  July  13, 
1954,  at  his  home.  Death  was  sudden. 
Gus  was  an  engineer  at  Covington  for 
the  past  28  years.  He  was  a  native  of 
Lewisburg,  and  a  brother-in-law  of 
the  late  Christy  Mathewson,  of  baseball 
fame. 

He  is  survived  by  two  sisters,  Mrs. 
Mathewson  and  Mrs.  Peter  B.  Cregar, 
Lewisburg,  and  also  by  several  nieces 
and  nephews. 

Send  me  some  news.  I  have  to  make 
the  honor  roll  this  year.  We  have  five 
-  "real"  editions  and  I  must  have  some- 
thing to  say  in  each  one.  If  you  don't 
know  anything  make  up  something  as 
I  do.  The  "little  old  paper  rag"  is 
dead  and  buried. 

CLASS  OF  1913 

Class  Reporter;    MR.  CHARLES  L.  SANDERS 
76  Walnut  St..  Mifflinburg,  Pa. 

"The  Iron  Ore  Outlook  of  the  United 
States",  an  address  by  Dr.  Earl  Morgan 
Richards,  vice  president  of  Republic 
Steel  Corp.,  at  a  meeting  of  the  Buck- 
nell  Business  Forum  in  Sunbury  in 
February,  has  been  published  by  the 
Bucknell  University  Press.  Earl  is  an 
authority  on  the  iron  ore  situation, 
present,  past,  and  future. 

Paul  L.  Stein  closed  his  working  as- 
sociation with  the  Hewitt  Rubber  Co., 
Buffalo,  N.  Y.  and  returned  to  his  native 
Lewisburg  to  the  joy  of  his  many  local 
friends.  His  address,  since  April  of 
this  year,  has  been  38  N.  Third  Street. 

Although  '54  was  not  an  official  re- 
union time  for  our  class  of  '13,  eight 
classmates  did  join  hands  and  hearts  in 

16 


happy  fellowship  this  year.  The  Mc- 
Clure  porch  was  a  center  of  reminis- 
cence and  cheer  on  Friday  evening 
following  first  greetings  at  the  Univer- 
sity dining  hall.  On  Saturday  the  alum- 
ni luncheon  found  us  together  at  one 
table  duly  marked  1913.  Also  we  par- 
ticipated as  enthusiastic  spectators  at 
the  ground-breaking  ceremony  for  the 
Olin  Science  Building,  and  felt  re- 
newed love  for  our  Alma  Mater  with 
pride  in  her  dignity  and  progress. 

For  those  absent  this  year,  awaiting 
the  45th  in  1958  and  already  preparing 
for  it  both  mentally  and  financially,  this 
may  be  said  now.  It  is  doubtful  wheth- 
er a  name  of  any  classmate  went  un- 
mentioned  this  year  in  conversations 
of  returnees.  Come  back  next  year  if 
possible,  and  remember  that  45th  is  al- 
ready in  the  making.  You  want  to 
know  who  rejoiced  together  this  year? 
Here  are  the  names:  Howard  (Prexy 
Sal)  Fisher,  Marwood  Glover,  Jim  Mc- 
Clure,  Berk  Hastings,  Harold  Shaffer, 
Paul  Stein,  Bright  Beck,  Charlie  San- 
ders. Mrs.  Beck  and  Mrs.  McClure  add- 
ed their  share  to  our  reunion  joys.

A  long  time  ago  Herbert  C.  Grice,  Sr. 

was  elected  to  the  post  of  Treasurer  of 
the  Union  County  Alumni  Club. 

I  went  back  to  Bucknell  for  Alumni 
Day  this  past  June  and  I  enjoyed  it  so 
much  that  I  hope  to  make  it  an  annual 
visit.  I  w^as  amazed  to  learn  that  on 
the  morning  of  the  luncheon  there  were 
relatively  fevv-  reservations,  yet  the 
crowd  numbered  more  than  1,200.  The 
food  was  excellent,  service  the  best. 
You  who  have  homes  and  families 
know  the  agony  of  having  extra  guests 
arrive  when  you  have  four  pork  chops 
or  a  pound  of  hamburg,  so  I  want  to 
put  in  my  plug  to  all  of  you — next  year 
make  your  reservations  early.  Didn't 
see  too  many  members  of  the  Class  of 
1918,  but  did  meet  Russ  Boyer  and  Dave 
Boswell.  Dave  was  there  with  his  son 
who  was  attending  his  reunion.  Am 
told  that  Dave  has  written  a  most  inter- 
esting pamphlet  on  the  Life  of  Francis 
Bellamy.  Bellamy,  who  wrote  The 
Pledge  of  Allegiance  to  the  Flag,  was 


a  member  of  the  church  in  Rome,  N.  Y. 
where  Dave  has  served  as  pastor  for 
a  number  of  years.  Mr.  Bellamy  was 
buried  from  the  church  in  1931  and 
Dave  preached  the  funeral  sermon. 

I  would  appreciate  a  little  help.  How 
about  some  news?

be  sure  to  be  accepted  by  Bucknell.

MAJOR  WILLIAM  H.  BAUMER 

'50,  LISTED  AS  PRISONER 

OF  REDS 

William  H.  Baumer,  a  19,50  graduate  in 
mechanical  engineering,  was  listed  last  June 
as  one  of  15  prisoners  held  by  the  Red 
Chinese  for  political  purposes.  It  was  18 
months  prior  to  this  news  that  the  B-29 
pilot  with  thousands  of  hours  of  flying  time 
in  World  War  II  and  the  Korean  War  was 
listed  as  missing  in  action  over  Korea.  His 
name  had  been  released  over  Peiping  radio 
in  January  1953  as  a  prisoner  held  in  Man- 
churia, but  his  mother,  Mrs.  Mary  E.  Bau- 
mer of  Lewisburg,  was  warned  not  to  trust 
the  news  as  valid  until  reported  by  the  Red 
Cross. 

Ever  since  that  time,  a  year  and  a  half 
ago,  Mrs.  Baumer  has  been  praying  and  be- 
lieving that  her  son  is  held  prisoner,  that 
he  is  alive  and  well. 

The  exchange  of  Korean  prisoners  aroused 
hope,  then  became  an  incident  in  history. 
Still  no  word. 

Now  there  is  definite  hope.  The  hoped-for 
Air  Force  telegram,  telling  Mrs.  Baumer  that 
Bill  was  alive  and  a  prisoner,  finally  arrived, 
and  every  effort  is  being  made  to  assure  his 
early  release. 

Classmates  and  the  university  family  hope 
for  his  early  return. 


Andrew  W.  Mathieson,  USNR,  son  of 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Andrew  R.  Mathieson  '20,

Secularism  A  Myth. 
Harper  and  Brothers,  X.  Y. 

According  to  Dr.  Edwin  E.  Aubrey.  Pro- 
fessor of  Religious  Thought  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Pennsylvania.  Christian  leaders  and 
theologians  have  used  the  term  "secularism" 
to  cover  all  the  conditions  of  society  which 
they  want  to  criticize.  The  reports  of  the 
Ecumenical  conferences  during  the  past  three 
decades  reveal  that  "secularism"  has  been 
used  to  designate  at  least  twenty-six  condi- 
tions including  "rationalism."  "philosophy," 
"democratic  faith."  "intellectualism,"  "moral- 
ism,"  and  "historical  method  when  applied 
to  the  biblical  revelation."  It  is  Dr.  Aubrey's 
contention  that  this  indiscriminate  use  of 
the  term  is  unjustified  and  that  the  relation- 
ship of  the  religious  with  the  secular  needs 
to  be  redefined.  Secularism  A  Myth  was 
written  to  help  fulfill  this  need. 

Chapter  I,  "The  Chvu-ches'  Attack  on  Se- 
cularism," considers  the  recent  statements  of 
Ecumenical  leaders  regarding  secularism. 
Chapter  II,  "Christianity  and  Secular 
Thought  Since  the  Renaissance,"  discusses 
the  relationship  of  Christian  thought  and 
western  culture.  Chapter  III,  "The  Secular 
Involvement  of  Religion,"  indicates  how  non- 
Christian  practices  and  ideas  have  become 
part  of  the  life  of  the  Christian  Church. 
Chapter  IV,  "Spiritual  Values  in  Secular 
Movements,"  indicates  that  the  religious 
significance  of  the  secular  and  suggests  that 
in  all  fairness  the  Christian  ought  to  ac- 
knowledge the  secular  contributions  to  the 
welfare  of  men.  Chapter  V,  "Religious 
Experience  and  Secular  Thought,"  treats 
the  relationship  of  revelation  and  faith  to 
reason.  Chapter  VI,  "A  Christian  Strategy," 
points  out  how  the  church  can  more  effec- 
tively make  its  message  relevant  to  society. 

Dr.  Aubrey's  book  is  a  corrective  to  neo- 
orthodox  theologj-'s  inclination  to  draw  sharp 
lines  between  church  and  society,  the  reli- 
gious and  the  secular.  It  is  a  reminder  that 
no  manifestation  of  religious  faith  has  a 
monopoly  on  either  truth  or  virtue ;  that 
secular  movements  can  and  do  reflect  a  deep 
religious  concern.  In  many  cases  religious 
and  secular  movements  ought  to  co-operate. 
The  author  points  out  that  the  real  enemies 
'if  the  church  are  not  the  secular  movements 
as  such.  "The  real  enemies  are  such  exem- 
plars of  greed  as  the  unscrupulous  merchant 
or  the  power-hungry  secretary  of  a  church 
board  or  the  corrupt  political  leader;  such 
hypocrites  as  the  scheming  diplomat,  the  eva- 
sive teacher  of  social  problems  or  the  preach- 
er who  guards  his  reputation  for  eloquence  at 
the  expense  of  honest  thinking  in  his  ser- 
mons ;  such  oppression  as  that  of  the  domi- 
neering wife  or  father,  of  the  tyrannical 
trustee  oi  a  college,  or  the  autocratic  bishop 
in  the  church.  In  other  words,  the  church 
has  no  corner  on  goodness  and  the  secular 
movements  have  no  corner  on  badness  .  .  ." 
(p.  1.16). 

Secularism  A  Myth  is  thorough,  convinc- 
ing, and — in  contrast  to  Continental  theology 
-exceedingly  refreshing.  Its  content  is 
drawn  from  a  wide  variety  of  sources  and 
the  tK>ok  is  dricumentcd  throughout.  Dr.  Au- 
brey, with  his  deliberative  and  imaginative 
mind,  lifts  the  reader  abf)ve  all  ccclcsia.stical 
and  thcolr>giral  dogmatism  and  arrogance 
and  provides  a  vigorous  and  cogent  discus- 
sion of  one  of  the  most  imiKjrtant  Issues  in 
rcligi'ius  thought.

American  English  Scries.    Books  I  and  II. 
D.  C.  Heath  &  Co. 

Grammar,  taken  in  its  broadest  sense  as 
the  study  of  language,  has  two  sub-divisions  : 
dcscriptiz'c,  which  attempts  to  discover  how 
people  speak  and  listen,  write  and  read,  and 
/'rcscripfiTc,  normative  or  "school"  grammar, 
which  attempts  to  tell  people  how  they  should 
behave  linguistically. 

Ideally,  prescriptive  grammar  should  be 
based  on  the  findings  of  descriptive  grammar. 
Actually,  until  quite  recently  it  has  chiefly 
consisted  of  an  accumulation  of  precepts, 
largely  prescriptive  ("Don't  do  this,  avoid 
that"),  based  on  the  prejudices  of  writers 
of  textbooks,  who  often  used  paste  and 
shears  to  follow  the  "rules"  of  earlier  writ- 
ers. 

In  this  century  descriptive  grammar  has 
made  astounding  advances.  But  until  re- 
cently complaint  was  made  that  the  descrip- 
tive grammarians  had  done  little  to  make 
their  findings  useful  to  the  scltools.  That 
criticism  is  no  longer  valid. 

One  of  the  half-dozen  leading  grammar- 
ians in  this  country  is  Charles  C.  Fries, 
Bucknell  '09.  For  a  generation  he  has  been 
publishing  the  results  of  extensive  research 
into  the  behavior  of  English-speaking  per- 
sons past  and  present.  In  1940  appeared  his 
epoch-making  American  Englisli  Grammar. 
In  the  following  years  he  applied  the  results 
of  his  studies  to  the  development  of  the  six- 
volume  Intensive  Course  in  English  for  Lat- 
in-American Students,  which  was  then  adapt- 
ed to  the  needs  of  students  coming  from 
other  languages.  Emphasizing  the  "oral  ap- 
proach," this  series  became  the  most  highly 
regarded  text  in  this  country  for  intensive 
study  of  every-day  English.  Not  only  the 
more  than  2,500  students  in  the  English  Lan- 
guage Institute  at  the  University  of  Michi- 
gan have  profited  by  this  work ;  it  has  been 
of  value  to  the  many  teachers  of  English 
abroad  who  were  trained  at  Michigan,  and 
by  others  who  learned  method  from  it. 

Now  there  have  appeared  the  first  books  of 
a  series  developed  by  Dr.  Fries  with  the  aid 
of  the  Director  of  the  English  Section  of  the 
Department  of  Education  of  Puerto  Rico, 
Professor  Pauline  Rojas,  and  her  staff,  for 
use  in  the  elementary  schools  of  tliat  island 
and  elsewhere. 

The  service  which  will  be  rendered  by 
these  beautifully  printed  and  attractively  il- 
lustrated volumes  can  hardly  be  overstated. 
The  population  of  the  tiny  island  has  dou- 
bled during  the  half -century  since  Puerto 
Rico  was  freed  from  Spain.  The  combina- 
tion of  public  health  measures  and  resistance 
by  reactionary  elements  to  limitation  of 
births,  has  accentuated  an  already  acute  prob- 
lem of  over-population. 

For  that  reason,  despite  the  enlightened 
l>olicies  of  Governor  Munoz  Marin,  the  mass 
movement  of  our  Puerto  Rican  fellow-citi- 
zens to  the  continental  United  ,States  seems 
iKiund  to  contiiuic.  And  despite  the  existence 
of  a  small  fanatical  anti-American  group, 
which  has  prejudiced  uninformed  persons 
against  them,  Puerto  Kicans  in  general  are 
|)eaceful  iiulustrious  folk  who  can  make  a 
great  contribution  to  our  culture.  Hut  they 
can  do  this  only  if  they  can  speak  and  under- 
stand American  English.  Until  the  language 
barrier  is  overcome  they  cannot  make  the 
contribution  they  are  capable  of.  In  this 
situation  the  great  value  of  the  Fries  scries 
is  clear.

The  Faiths  Men  Live  By. 

Prentice-Hall,  Inc.,  N.  Y.,  1954. 

This  e-xcellent  and  readable  survey  of  the 
faiths  by  which  men  live  covers  a  surpris- 
ing amount  of  religious  territory.  In  twenty 
brief  chapters,  Dr.  Potter  pictures  the  many 
living  religions  of  the  Far  and  Near  East, 
as  well  as  most  of  the  major  divisions  of 
Christianity  found  in  our  country.  An  ap- 
pendi.x  outlines  even  more  briefly  the  main 
characteristics  of  some  of  the  fringe  reli- 
gious sects  in  America. 

This  is  not  a  book  written  for  theologians. 
And  therein  lies  its  main  attraction.  Dur- 
ing commencement  week,  Bertrand  Library 
featured  this  book  in  one  of  its  displays  of 
the  accomplishments  of  distinguished  Buck- 
nellians.  The  display  included  a  copy  of  the 
original  typescript,  with  corrections  by  the 
author,  the  galley  proofs  and  page  proofs, 
and  a  letter  explaining  how  the  book  came 
to  be  written.  The  letter  tells  how  in  1947 
the  editor  of  Fawcett  Publications  had  chal- 
lenged Dr.  Porter  to  "climb  down  off  (his) 
Atlantic  Monthly  highhorse  and  visit  Amer- 
ica," The  result  was  a  series  of  17  articles 
which  appeared  in  True  Confessions  maga- 
zine, outlining  the  faiths  of  the  world  and  of 
America,  written  in  such  a  way  that  theologi- 
cal education  was  not  a  prerequisite  for  un- 
derstanding. It  is  these  articles,  revised  and 
expanded,  that  appear  in  The  Faiths  Men 
Live  By. 

Each  chapter  is  best  described  as  a  word 
picture  of  a  given  faith  or  religious  prac- 
tice. The  minute  detail  of  theological  ab- 
straction is  omitted,  and  with  a  pen  seem- 
ingly experienced  at  description.  Dr.  Potter 
"paints"  pleasing  and  interesting  sketches  of 
the  people  who  live  by  each  faitli.  The 
sketches  are  made  real  by  the  inclusion  of 
brief  stories  and  religious  legends  wliich 
illustrate  the  way  believers  think  and  act, 
and  also  by  the  inclusion,  in  most  cases,  of 
an  equally  brief  biography  of  the  founder  of 
each  faith.  Thus  each  faith  is  described  in 
terms  of  its  people,  rather  than  in  terms  of 
its  philosophical  concepts. 

One  does  not  have  the  feeling  that  the 
brevity  in  this  case  is  equal  to  superficiality. 
Each  description  would  doubtless  fall  far 
short  of  satisfying  an  avid  believer,  and 
yet  in  those  instances  where  this  revfewer  is 
qualified  to  judge,  Dr.  Potter  shows  both  a 
knowledge  of  and  an  appreciation  for  the 
faith  he  is  describing. 

It  is  inevitable,  however,  that  in  a  book 
dealing  with  religion  an  author's  own  con- 
victions should  be  frequently  ap|)arcnt.  The 
one  chapter  wliich  does  become  theological  is 
that  dealing  with  the  Humanists  and  related 
groups,  and  it  is  not  diflicult  to  di.scern  that 
Dr.  Potter  is  describing  here  his  own  faith. 

In  certain  other  places,  also,  the  author's 
own  convictions  have  influenced  his  selection 
and  presentation  of  material.  To  one  who 
has  rejected  the  so-called  externals  of  the 
Christian  faith,  these  externals  nf  custcimary 
t-hristian  practice  can  easily  stand  out  and 
seem  to  be  all.  So  it  is  that  ('hiislians  are 
said  to  "worship  Jesus,"  and  the  sketch  of 
Roman  Catholicism  is  woven  around  the 
practice  of  the  veneration  of  relics. 

But  selection  according  to  some  priiui|)lc' 
is  essential  in  any  book  of  this  sort,  and  fur 
such  a  task  as  this  Dr.  Potter's  broad  toler- 
ance is  without  doubt  more  of  an  asset  tliaii 
a  li.ibility.  lie  has  done  an  excellent  job 
with  a  diiricnlt  task,  and  liis  book  is  both  en- 
joyable and  informative,

THE  BUCKNELL  AMBULANCE  UNITS  1917-1919 


Reunion  to  Be  Held  at  Homecoming 


Thirty-five  years  is  a  rather  long  stretch 
between  reunions  but  the  Bucknell  Ambu- 
lance Sections  524  and  525  are  going  to 
remedy  that  situation  by  holding  a  first 
reunion  of  the  sections  at  Homecommg 
time,  October  23.  The  plans  call  for  a 
special  dinner  on  Saturday  evening,  Octo- 
ber 23,  following  the  Homecoming  game 
with  Lafayette. 

The  fifty  Bucknellians  who  left  their 
studies  on  the  campus  in  1917  after  en- 
listment in  the  Bucknell  Ambulance  Units 
have  never  been  properly  recognized  m 
the  history  of  Bucknell  activities.  This 
does  not  infer  that  the  contributions  of 
the  hundreds  of  other  Bucknellians  who 
volunteered  for  military  service  in  World 
War  I  are  less  important  than  the  work 
of  the  Ambulance  Units.  But  since  the 
ambulance  men  were  recruited  as  units  on 
the  campus  there  should  be  a  complete 
record  of  the  University-organized  group. 
The  present  article  is  a  first  attempt  to 
bring  together  the  record  of  this  AU- 
Bucknell  organization. 

Now  to  review  some  of  the  organiza- 
tional facts  available  in  the  files  of  the 
University.  Fifty  Bucknellians  were  re- 
cruited for  the  Bucknell  Ambulance 
Units  early  in  1917.  Although  36  men 
comprised  a  full  company,  Bucknell  was 
credited  with  two  units.  Each  unit  was 
composed  of  20  ambulance  drivers,  3  tour- 
ing car  drivers,  12  repairmen,  and  1  clerk. 
Led  by  Lt.  George  H.  Clapp  the  com- 
pany left  the  Bucknell  campus  in  June 
1917  for  Camp  Crane  in  Allentown,  trav- 
eling by  special  car.  On  arrival  at  Camp 
Crane  they  became  sections  524  and  525 
of  the  U.  S.  Army  Ambulance  Corps, 
commonly  known  as  the  USAACS.  While 
at  Camp  Crane,  Reginald  S.  Newbury  '17 
died  of  pneumonia.  He  was  the  first 
Bucknell  student  to  die  in  service  in 
World  War  I. 

The  records  show  that  in  April  1918 
the  Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of  Philadel- 
phia, instead  of  holding  their  regular 
spring  banquet,  contributed  the  banquet 
money  to  a  fund  for  the  Bucknell  Ambu- 
lance LTnits. 

The  following  is  a  chronological  ac- 
count as  near  as  can  be  learned  of  the 
activities  of  Section  524: 

May  29,  1917 — Mustered  into  service  as 
enlisted  men  for  the  duration  of  the  war. 
Furloughed  to  June  9,  1917.  Left  Lewis- 
burg  as  a  company  at  8:37  a.  m.,  for  Camp 
Crane,  Allentown,  Pa.  At  Allentown,  re- 
ceived inoculations,  practiced  driving 
Ford  ambulances,  went  on  10-day  hike, 
and  returned  to  Camp  Crane. 

January  9,  1918 — Left  Allentown  by 
rail  and  sailed  the  same  day  from  Jersey 
City  on  5.  5".  Carmania. 

January  12 — Left  Halifax  harbor  in 
convoy  of  10  other  ships  and  cruiser 
North  Carolina. 

January  23-March  7 — Arrived  at  Liver- 
pool, spent  10  days  in  rest  camp  at  Win- 
chester and  then  crossed  the  English 
Channel;  reached  St.  Nazaire  on  the  later 
date. 

March  13 — Cy  Follmer  rejoined  the 
outfit  after  having  been  left  at  Winchester 
with  the  measles. 

March  14-22 — Engaged  in  baseball  se- 
ries with  other  sections  without  losing  a 
game. 

March  27 — Moved  to  Ferrieres-Gati- 
nois,  the  section  base  camp. 

20 


May  31-June  2 — Moved  to  Paris  and 
from  there  with  ambulances  went  to  Ver- 
sailles. 

June  4 — Started  working  with  2nd  Di- 
vision, evacuating  men  wounded  in  the 
fight  at  Belleau  Woods. 

June  8 — Lt.  Dean  Sturgis  of  the  23rd 
Lifantry,  a  former  Bucknell  football  star,

The  following  is  a  chronological  ac- 
count, as  near  as  can  be  learned,  of  the 
activities  of  section  525: 

May  29,  1917 — Mustered  into  service  as 
enlisted  men  for  "the  duration  of  the 
war."     Furloughed  to  June  9,  1917. 

June  9 — Left  Lewisburg  as  a  company 
at  8:37  a.  m.,  for  Camp  Crane,  Allentown, 
Pa.  Drilled,  lectures,  not  enough  uni- 
forms to  go  around.  Received  inocula- 
tions, practiced  driving  Ford  ambulances, 
went  on  10  day  hike  and  soon  after  re- 
turned to  camp.  On  July  19  started  pre- 
parations to  go  overseas. 

August  7 — Left  Allentown  and  sailed 
same  day  from  Hoboken,  N.  J.,  in  first 
contingent  to  leave  the  camp.  Sailed  on 
S.  S.  Antilles,  a  "Banana  Boat,"  with  5 
ships  in  convoy. 

August  20 — Arrived  St.  Nazaire,  France. 
Remained  in  camp  there  to  assemble  Ford 
ambulances  and  drove  off  in  them  in  con- 
voy September  29,  1917. 

October  9 — Arrived  at  front  line  near 
Verdun  to  take  over  from  American  Field 
Service  one  day  before  American  infantry 


took  over  a  sector  of  front  line  to  the 
right.  Served  in  campaigns  around  Ver- 
dun— later  at  Oise-Aisne,  Aisne-Marne, 
Champagne  and  finally  went  to  Alsace 
where  they  were  when  the  war  ended.  All 
the  service  was  with  the  63rd  and  later 
with  the  68th  French  Army  Division 
(from  Bordeaux  district).  After  the  ar- 
mistice the  division  occupied  the  town  of 
Neulhouse  in  Alsace  and  remained  in  that 
vicinity  until  March  1919.  Went  by  train 
to  Brest,  sailing  for  home  in  April,  and 
demobilized  at  end  of  the  month  from 
Camp  Dix,  N.  J. 

Unit  525,  with  its  commander,  Lt.  H.  H. 
Parsons,  arrived  back  at  Bucknell  in  May 
1919  after  2i  months  of  active  service  in 
France.  Every  man  wore  French  Croix 
de  Guerre  and  a  Division  Citation  Ribbon. 
The  day  of  their  arrival  the  University  of- 
ficials declared  a  holiday  in  order  that  stu- 
dents could  join  the  townspeople  of  Lew- 
isburg in  a  parade  welcoming  the  men 
home  The  officers  of  unit  number  525 
were  Lt.  George  H.  Clapp,  1st.  Sgt.  Alex 
Chalfant,  Sgt.  Allen  Willson,  Corp.  Leroy 
Clark,  Company  Clerk  E.  R.  Bainbridge. 
Later  Lt.  Clapp  was  replaced  and  early  in 
1918  Lt.  (later  Major)  Henry  L.  Bibby 
became  leader.  In  August  1918,  Lt.  H.  H. 
Parsons  took  over  and  stayed  with  the 
unit  until  its  return  to  the  United  States. 
Walter  Beyer  became  a  sergeant. 

Bucknell  is  justly  proud  of  all  of  her 
sons  and  their  service  to  the  nation  and 
would  like  to  make  a  lasting  memorial 
record  of  every  military  man.  Perhaps 
we  can  start  by  gathering  together  a 
more  complete  record  of  these  campus 
units.  The  achievements  of  these  Buck- 
nellians while  in  service  and  since  have 
been  a  sterling  example  for  those  who 
have  followed. 

There  follows  a  list  of  the  Bucknellians, 
classified  as  far  as  possible  by  unit,  re- 
cruited on  the  campus.  The  names  of 
other  men  who  were  not  Bucknellians  but 
were  added  to  the  units  at  Camp  Crane  are 
also  included.  The  class  year  listed  is  the 
class  with  which  the  man  entered  Buck- 
nell but  is  not  necessarily  the  year  of 
graduation  as  now  recorded  on  the  Uni- 
versity records.  If  you  can  add  names  and 
addresses,  your  help  will  be  greatly  appre- 
ciated. 

This  is  an  alphabetical  list  of  the  men 
who  went  to  France  with  the  Bucknell 
University  Ambulance  Unit,  Section  524, 
during  World  War  I:

Sudden  Death  of  Dr. 
Robbins  Shocks  Campus 

Dr.  Harry  W.  Robbins,  71,  head  of  the 
Department  of  English  until  his  very  recent 
retirement  on  June  14,  died  suddenly  on  the 
19th  of  that  same  month.  Xo  record  of  ill 
health  preceded  his  death.  He  was  amidst 
plans  for  a  trip  to  his  summer  home  in  Ver- 
mont when  he  was  stricken. 

A  native  of  Vermont,  Dr.  Robbins,  known 
by  those  who  loved  and  revered  him  as 
"Robbie,"  was  a  graduate  of  Brown  Uni- 
versit}-  where  he  received  his  A.B.,  liked 
the  school  so  much  that  he  staved  to  earn 
his  M.A.  in  1908;  he  received'  his  Ph.D. 
from  the  Universitj-  of  Minnesota  in  1923. 
His  wife,  the  former  Florence  Bliss  Lyon 
of  Ph-mouth.  Mass..  whom  he  married  in 
1910,  surv'ives  him.     They  had  no  children. 

Many  articles  have  been  written  in  ad- 
miration and  memory  of  Robbie.  The  June 
1954  issue  of  the  ALUMNUS  carried  on 
page  8  a  feature  "Robbie  Retires,"  Therein 
were  poured  the  thoughts  and  feeling  of  all 
of  us  who  knew  him  and  are  now  unable  to 
pick  up  the  Western  World  Literature  text 
or  pass  the  \'aughan  Lit  English  office 
without  reflecting  upon  the  very  full  life 
of  accomplishment  that  Robbie  led.  He  was 
a  member  of  First  Baptist  Church,  Lewis- 
burg  ;  Lambda  Chi  Alpha ;  a  founder  and 
past  president  of  the  Bucknell  chapter.  Phi 
Beta  Kappa ;  the  American  Association  of 
University  Professors ;  Early  English  Text 
Society :  and  Le  Societe  des  Anciens  Textes 
Francais. 

We  find  a  most  suitable  siunmation  of  in- 
sight into  Robbie's  character  in  the  1953 
L'Agenda,  feelingly  dedicated  to  him.  Part 
of  this  dedication  read : 

"Beneath  the  seeming  New  England  aus- 
terity that  is  characteristic  of  Dr.  Harry 
\V.  Robbins  lies  a  Frostian  humour,  a  gen- 
tle understanding  of  the  minds  of  men,  and 
a  scholarly  mind  rich  in  literature  and  in  life. 
During  his  seventy  years,  'Robbie'  has  been 
a  football  player  and  a  journeyman  printer, 
an  army  captain,  a  high  school  teacher,  and 
for  the  past  thirty  years,  a  professor  of 
English  .  .  . 

"The  rigors  of  academic  duties  have  never 
succeeded  in  hiding  the  twinkle  in  his  eyes. 
his  almost  boyish  satisfaction  over  a  good 
bridge  hand,  or  the  dry  wit  expressed  in  mut- 
ed asides.  Students  who  penetrate  the  Ver- 
mont severity  discover  that  'Robbie'  is  both 
warm  and  kind,  that  he  has  a  keen  aware- 
ness and  an  understanding  that  can  spring 
only  from  years  of  studying,  of  reading,  and 
of  living." 

Yes,  his  physical  self  lies  in  the  shaded 
I-cwisburg  cemetery  with  the  roar  of  Route 
15  near  by,  but  his  spirit  and  his  many  stu- 
dents will  live  on  and  learn  on.  As  Reverend 
Morse  Bettison  said  at  Dr.  Robbins'  funeral, 
"a  teacher  and  what  he  imparts  are  never 
forgotten."  And  truly  RobI)ic  was  a  great 
teacher,  scholar,  and  friend. 


iVIanchester  '08  Dies 

Buckncllians  were  shocked  to  learn  of  tin- 
unfX[»cctcd  death  of  Edwin  K.  Manchester 
'08  from  a  heart  attack  suffered  while  he 
and  his  wife  were  visiting  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Earl  Si.svm  f  Marion  G.  C'iC  '27)  in  Fac- 
tf»ryvillc  over  the  July  4th  weekend. 

Mr.  Manchcfttcr,  who  resided  in  Wilming- 
ton, was  editor  of  the  iJuI'ont  magazine  for 
^2  years  until  hi.s  retirement  in  September 
\'>5<).  Prior  to  his  joining  the  Dul^ont  Com- 
pany in  \'J\H  he  served  as  a  s<:1kk)I  teacher, 
auditor,  publicity  director,  advertising  man- 
ager ami  editor  for  a  number  of  organiza- 
tions in  the  Srranton  area.  Since  his  gradu- 
ation from  Burknell  in  1908  with  the  degree 

.S  K  f  T  K  M  H  K  K    I  »  S  « 


of  Bachelor  of  Arts  in  jurisprudence,  he 
had  been  an  ardent  alumni  worker  and  took 
a  large  part  in  the  organization  of  tlie  Buck- 
nell Alumni  Club  of  Wilmington.  He  was 
a  member  of  Phi  Gamma  Delta  fraternity, 
the  Kiwanis  Club  of  Wilmington,  Exchange 
Club,  Westminister  Presbyterian  Church,  and 
Masonic  organizations. 

The  University  and  his  classmates  of  1908 
extend  sincere  sympathy  to  his  wife,  the 
former  Kathryn  E.  Reynolds  and  his  daugh- 
ter, EHzabeth  M.  Manchester  '35,  who  is 
assistant  director  of  the  Children's  Bureau  of 
Delaware.  His  only  son,  Capt.  Edwin  R, 
Manchester,  Jr.  was  killed  on  a  bombing- 
mission  over  Germany  in  1943. 

Ed  was  highly  regarded  by  his  home  town 
associates,  as  attested  in  an  editorial  appear- 
ing in  the  Wilmington  Press  a  few  days 
after  his  death,  which  read  in  part  as  fol- 
lows:  "As  editor  of  the  DnPont  Magazine 
during  the  time  when  DuPont  was  going 
through  its  great  diversification,  Ed  Man- 
chester's byline  became  nationally  known. 
Following  the  path  of  the  company's  prod- 
ucts he  descended  coal  mine  shafts,  stood  in 
dusty  quarries,  watched  great  dams  built, 
and  peered  into  the  intricate  glass  maze  of 
chemical  laboratories.  He  wrote  of  what  he 
saw  in  spare,  unadorned  fashion,  and  with 
a  passion  for  accuracy  which  led  his  publi- 
cation to  be  accepted  with  the  same  confi- 
dence accorded  a  text. 

"A  quiet,  unassuming  man,  with  a  ready 
smile  and  dry  wit,  he  was  on  first-name-call- 
ing status  with  the  generation  of  men  who 
brought  DuPont  to  its  present  status  in  the 
chemical    industry    and    American    industry. 


Wally  Diehl  '26  Dies 

Glenn  Walter  "Wally"  Diehl  '26,  one  of 
Bucknell's  greatest  fullbacks  and  one-time 
captain  of  the  Bison  herd,  passed  away  at 
his  home  in  Somerton  last  May  29.  Wally 
was  49  when  he  died.  He  will  never  be  for- 
gotten by  Bucknellians  and  fans  who  fol- 
lowed his  years  at  Bucknell  and,  later,  his 
playing  for,  and  coaching  of,  the  Frankford 
Yellowjackets  (forerunners  of  the  Philadel- 
phia Eagles). 

Wally  was  married  in  1929  to  Ora  Coop- 
er '29  whose  father,  Dr.  Charles  D.  Cooper 
'OS,  captained  the  Bucknell  pigskins  in  his 
undergraduate  days.  Ora's  mother,  the  for- 
mer Cottie  Albright  '05,  is  the  fourth  Buck- 
nellian  in  this  family. 

A  native  of  Mt.  Carmel  where  he  played 
high  school  football,  Wally  Diehl  attended 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania  for  one  year 
during  whiclt  he  captained  the  freshman 
football  team  there.  Transferring  to  the  300 
acres,  he  spent  three  years  on  the  field  here 
during  which  time  George  "Lefty"  James 
'30,  now  coach  at  Cornell,  was  a  teammate. 

Wally  is  survived  by  his  wife,  two  daugh- 
ters, Mrs.  Thomas  E.  Morrow  and  Claire 
Cooper,  14,  and  two  sons,  John  Albright,  18, 
and  Charles  Walter,  16.  Both  .sons  follow  in 
tlie  football  loving  footsteps  of  their  famous 
dad. 


He  was  constantlj'  doing  small  kindnesses  for 
his  friends,  a  fact  which  makes  his  passing 
cut  the  deeper  among  all  who  were  priv- 
iledged  to  know  him."

Tne  Ne^v  Alumni  President 

Looks  At  Tne  Year  Aneaa 

I  a-m  assuming  that  you  are  interested  in  Bucknell,  else  why  luoidd  yon  he 
reading  this?  It  is  ahout  that  interest  of  yours— and  the  year  that  lies  ahead— 
which  I  write. 

There  are  15,000  of  us  Buchiellians.  Our  interest  ranges  all  the  way  from 
active  forticifution  in  alumni  affairs  and  life  at  the  University  today  to  no  in- 
terest at  all!  But  ranging  somewhere  in  hetiveen  is  a  vast  grouf  that  has  only 
a  moderate  interest  in  Bucknell— 'perhaps  only  enough  to  read  this  message. 

It  is  to  all  of  you— keen  interest  or  moderate— that  I  hring  the  encouraging 
news  that  never  hefore  has  the  state  of  health  of  our  alumni  organization  heen 
more  sound. 

Thanks  to  the  leadership  of  my  immediate  predecessor,  Emily  Kelly,  and  to 
Andy  Mathieson  and  Buck  Sliott  and  all  the  other  loyal  alumni  ivorkers,  we 
have: 

A  wonder f idly-organized  annual  alumni  weekend  which  this  past  June  had 
a  record  1,050  in  attendance  at  luncheon. 

Our  Alumni  Fund  at  an  all-tim-e  high. 

An  encouraging  50  alumni  clubs  active  during  the  past  year. 

BUT,  just  to  deflate  the  halloon  a  little,  let's  look  at  these  two  facts: 

Contrihutors  to  the  Alumni  Fund  represent  only  1 8  percent  of  our  eligible 
alumni! 

A  survey  of  135  memhers  of  one  of  this  year's  reun'ing  classes  showed  that 
90  had  no  affiliation  xvith  a  local  alumni  club! 

There's  still  a  big  job  to  be  done  if  we  are  to  end  the  year  that  lies  ahead 
wiili  even  greater  alumni  spirit  and  enthusiasm.     Here  are  som-e  suggestions: 

Talk  Bucknell  among  your  friends  and  acquaintances— help  in  recruiting 
top-quality  prospective  students  for  Bucknell. 

Get  interested  in  local  alumni  club  activities— if  there  is  no  club,  why  not 
organize  one? 

Contribute  regularly  to  the  Ahimni  Fund  in  proportion  to  yoiw  ability. 

Come  back  to  the  campus  whenever  you  can,  especially  on  Alumni  Week- 
end in  June  or  at  Homecoming. 

To  yozi  who  already  know  the  satisfaction  of  loyal  alumni  interest  and  sup- 
port, we  look  forward  to  your  continued  help.  And  to  you  xvho,  in  the  past,  may 
have  been  only  "moderately  interested"  we  say,  "Come  on  in,  the  water's  fine!" 

William  S.  (Bill)  Liming,  '33,  President, 

General  Alumni  Association.

Clyde  P.  Bailey  '29  Heads  Alumni  Fund        ij^  ^^UA  ^A4U€ 


CLYDE  P.  BAILEY  '29 

Another  "charter"  member  of  the  alumni  fund  program  became  chairman 
of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Annual-Giving  Fund  at  the  beginning  of  the  fund 
year,  July  1,  1954.  He  is  Clyde  P.  Bailey  of  the  Class  of  1929.  Taking  over 
the  chairmanship  from  Andy  Mathieson  '20,  who  last  year  established  new 
hiMis  for  the  Fund  in  percentage  of  participation,  total  dollars  contributed, 
number  of  contributors,  and  average  gift,  Clyde  has  outlined  a  program  of 
activity  that  will  bring  the  story  of  the  Fund  and  the  financial  needs  of  Alma 
Mater  to  the  doorsteps  of  thousands  of  Bucknellians  during  the  coming  year. 
Already  a  group  of  potentially  large  givers  have  had  a  personal  message  on  fund 
needs  from  Clyde.  Last  year,  as  chairman  of  the  pilot  program  of  personal 
soHcitation  for  the  Fund  in  Allegheny  County,  he  recruited  five  captains  and 
20  agents  who  called  on  163  Bucknellians  and  received  "on  the  spot"  contribu- 
tions from  over  half  of  them,  many  of  whom  were  first  time  donors. 

Clyde's  activities  on  the  campus  as  a  student,  both  curricular  and  extra- 
curricular, were  pointed  towards  his  career  as  a  lawyer.  Active  in  the  Pre- 
Legal  Fraternity,  he  served  as  its  president  and  debated  against  Oxford  Uni- 
versity. He  was  secretary  of  the  Senior  Tribunal  in  his  senior  year.  A  member 
of  Phi  Lambda  Theta,  he  was  president  in  his  senior  year,  and  after  graduation, 
was  chosen  president  of  the  national  body  in  193  5.  In  addition  to  all  these 
student  activities  he  was  assistant  to  the  University  Registrar  during  almost  his 
entire  stay  in  college. 

He  earned  his  LL.B.  at  Duquesne  University  Law  School  in  193  3  and 
immediately  entered  the  practice  of  law  in  Pittsburgh  and  over  the  years  he 
has  argued  a  number  of  precedent-setting  cases  before  the  Supreme  Court  of 
Pennsylvania.  He  is  now  a  partner  in  the  law  firm  of  Weller,  Wicks  &  Wallace, 
Pittsburgh. 

In  Bucknell  Alumni  affairs  he  has  always  shown  an  interest,  and  activity 
in  all  University  fund-raising  campaigns  followed  as  a  matter  of  course.  Chair- 
man of  the  Pittsburgh  area  in  the  Bucknell  100th  Anniversary  Gift  Campaign 
and  the  Heating  Plant  Campaign  just  naturally  led  to  an  early  activity  in  the 
Alumni  Annual-Giving  Program.  A  former  president  of  the  Bucknell  Alumni 
Club  of  Western  Pennsylvania,  and  president  of  the  General  Alumni  Association 
in  1947-48,  he  was  nominated  as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Bucknell 
University,  serving  a  six-year  term  which  ended  just  this  year. 

It  was  perhaps  inevitable  that  Clyde  should  have  a  lOO^c  Bucknell  family. 
He  married  the  former  N.  Dorothy  Lemon  of  the  Class  of  1929,  and  their  son. 
Jack,  who  graduated  from  Bucknell  in  195  3,  soon  thereafter  married  Sally  Lee 
Dietrich  of  the  Class  of  1954.  A  second  son,  now  in  high  school,  is  expected  to 
enter  as  a  freshman  upon  graduation  from  high  school.  The  Baileys  live  at  16 
Churchill  Road,  Pittsburgh.

It  Happened  Here 

Twenty  Years  Ago — 1934 

During  Homecoming,  President  Homer 
P.  Rainey  announced  the  definite  plans 
for  Bucknell's  Centennial  year,  including 
a  $6,000,000  Building  Program.  The  pro- 
gram included  a  renovation  of  Taylor 
Hall.  They  should  see  it  now!  !  !  Taylor 
Hall  has  just  been  renovated  again;  it 
looks  like  a  new  building. 


The  Cover  Pictures 

The  front  cover  shows  Dr.  Norman  H.  Stewart,  professor  of  zoology,  climbing  the  hill  to 
Taylor  Hall  just  as  he  has  for  over  forty  years,  but  there's  a  new  gleam  in  his  eye  this  fall  as  he 
anticipates  the  improved  facilities  available  in  the  newly  renovated  building. 

The  back  cover  portrays  plaques  mounted  in  the  rebuilt  Taylor  Hall  by  the  Philadelphia 
Bucknell  Alumni  Association  as  a  tribute  to  the  late  S.  Dale  Spotts  '18  and  the  plaque  provided  by 
the  "Doctors  For  Bucknell."  Other  plaques  in  the  building  mark  gifts  from  the  Bucknell  Fathers

The  Ciirriciiluni:  Then,  Now,  and  Tomorrow 


OLD  MAIN — When  the  Curriculum  Was  Chiefly  Latin  and  Greek 


The  First  Annual  Catalogue  of  the  Of- 
ficers and  Students  of  the  University  at 
Letvisburg,  1850-51,  defines  the  course  of 
study  which  was  prescribed  for  the  sixty- 
one  students  who  were  then  attending  the 
university.  (In  1850,  the  annual  tuition  was 
thirty  dollars,  the  room  rate  "on  the  Hill" 
was  seven  dollars  and  fifty  cents  a  year,  and 
according  to  the  Catalogue,  "board,  including 
lodging,  washing,  fuel,  and  light"  could  be 
had  in  town  for  as  low  as  a  dollar  and  a  half 
a  week.)  Elect! ves,  of  course,  were  unheard 
of ;  every  student  took  precisely  the  same 
course  of  study.  In  all,  thirty  subjects  were 
taught  by  the  faculty  of  six,  each  student 
taking   about   four   subjects   a   term. 

The  courses  in  the  curriculum  of  1850  were 
chiefly  in  Greek  and  Latin,  although  English, 
mathematics,  and  the  practical  sciences  were 
also  present.  A  freshman  during  his  first 
term,  for  example,  would  study  Algebra, 
Xcnophon,  Livy,  Latin  Composition,  Fiskc's 
CUmiciil  Manual,  and  English  Language 
and  0<mfKrtiti'm. 

By  I'XIO,  Buckncll  University  (the  new 
name  had  been  adopted  in  1886)  had  grown 
^'>n^id^■rat>ly.  and  the  curriculum  had  undcr- 
K'>nr-  vimc  significant  changes.  Three  hun- 
dred and  fifteen  students  were  tiow  being 
taught  by  a  faculty  of  twt-nty-one  teachers. 
The  rollcge  rate  was  ninety  doll.irs  per  yar, 
■^nt\  tK»ard  cost  atxjut  two  and  a  half  dollars 
a  week,  laundry  twenty-five  cents  extra. 
S  0  V  F,  M  B  K  R    10  5  1 


According  to  the  fiftieth  Annual  Catalogue, 
the  undergraduate  could  choose  one  of  four 
courses  of  study :  the  Classical  Course,  the 
Philosophical  Course,  the  Scientific  Course, 
the  Eclectic  Course.  The  number  of  sub- 
jects taught  by  the  faculty  had  risen  to  one 
hundred  and  fifty-eight. 

The  Bucknell  freshman  in  1900  would  be 
required  to  take  during  his  first  term  courses 
in  geometry,  algebra,  Cicero,  Livy,  Homer, 
Greek  composition,  and  elocution.  In  the 
first  term  of  the  senior  year,  the  student  was 
compelled  to  take  only  Psychology,  Litera- 
ture, and  Oration ;  he  would  have  completed 
his  schedule  by  choosing  courses  from  the 
following  list  of  electives :  Demosthenes, 
Tacitus,  Lessing,  Anglo-Saxon,  French,  His- 
tory, Composition,  Law,  Blackstone's  Cotn- 
mentarics,  International  Law,  Geology,  Prac- 
tical Astronomy,  Comparative  Anatomy,  and 
Chemistry. 

The  description  of  the  curriculum  in  the 
195.3-54  issue  of  the  liucknell  Catalogue  in- 
dicates that  the  conception  of  what  kinds  of 
subjects  a  university  should  teach  has 
changed  drastically  in  the  past  lunulrcd 
years. 

The  range  of  subjects  in  the  present  i  ui- 
riculum  at  IJuckncIl  is  very  great.  A  faculty 
of  about  one  hunflred  and  forty  niombers  be- 
longing to  thirty  aeadeinir  dep.'irlnients  an- 
nounces through  the  Calalogue  that  it  is 
qualified  and  willing  to  teach  about  seven 


hundred  and  fifty  courses.  (Many  of  these 
are  seldom  offered ;  in  the  fall  semester  of 
1954  about  two  hundred  and  fifty  courses  are 
being  given.)  The  alphabetical  range  is  from 
Aerodynamics  to  Zoology  with  such  diverse 
subjects  as  Geomorphology,  Biometrics,  Net- 
works and  Filters,  Photography,  archery, 
Xenophon,  Solfeggio,  Charlemagne  Ro- 
mances, weight-lifting,  and  Eurythmics  ap- 
pearing in  between. 

Perhaps  as  .striking  a  feature  of  the  present 
curriculum  as  its  range  is  the  flexibility  with 
which  it  is  operated.  There  are  no  all- 
university  rc<|uircmciits  in  English  literature, 
in  the  foreign  languages,  in  mathematics,  or 
in  history,  although  some  of  these  subjects 
are  required  for  students  in  particular  fields. 
The  philo.sophy  underlying  the  present  broad, 
flexible  curriculum  is  that  each  student  is 
unique,  each  has  his  own  particular  goals,  ami 
therefore  each  has  his  own  particular  needs. 
The  as.sumption  behind  the  philosophy  is  tliat 
each  student  knows  himself  well  enough  to 
be  certain  of  his  goals  and  is  wise  enough  to 
know  how  to  achieve  them. 

The  elective  system,  which,  developing  in 
\\u:  ])ast  Inindrcfl  years,  slowly  at  first  and 
then  after  1900  more  and  more  rajiidly,  had 
become  almost  universal  in  American  col- 
leges and  universities  by  1940,  has  recently 
been  subjected  to  some  reappraisals.  Many 
educators  have  come  to  feel  that  two  para-

New  Faces  in  the 
Bucknell  Family 

Two  assistant  deans  were  welcomed  to  the 
campus  this  fall  as  Miss  Martha  Harris  was 
named  to  succeed  Miss  Cynthia  Goddard  as 
assistant  dean  of  women,  and  Mr.  Ralph  F. 
Soelzer  was  appointed  assistant  to  Malcolm 
E.  Musser,  Dean  of  Men. 

Miss  Harris  has  come  to  us  from  Los 
Angeles,  California,  having  received  her 
A.B.  degree  at  Occidental  College  and  her 
M.A.  in  guidance  at  Columbia  University. 
While  at  Columbia,  she  lived  at  International 
House,  working  in  the  program  office  there. 
Fler  most  active  duties  will  be  those  of  ad- 
viser to  freshman  women  and  head  resident 
of  Larison  Hall. 

Mr.  Soelzer,  assistant  to  the  dean  of  men 
and  director  of  men's  residence  halls,  is  a 
graduate  of  the  University  of  Illinois  where 
he  majored  in  English.  Also  holding  an 
M.A.  degree  in  counselling  and  guidance,  he 
formerly  taught  in  the  Areola,  111.  high 
school. 


The  Curriculum 

(Continued  from  Page  3) 

doxical  dangers  inhere  in  this  system :  one, 
the  knowledge  outside  of  his  major  subject 
which  the  student  acquires  is  likely  to  be 
fragmentary  and  superficial,  and  two,  the 
student  often  becomes  a  specialist  in  a  single 
narrow  field,  despite  efforts  to  avoid  this 
contingency.  In  the  past  decade  a  significant 
number  of  leading  universities  (Harvard, 
Yale,  and  Chicago,  for  example)  have  been 
experimenting  with  programs  which  stress 
the  teaching  of  knowledge  in  terms  of  its 
historical  development  as  well  as  its  immedi- 
ate practicality,  the  teaching  of  basic  ideas 
as  they  relate  to  many  diverse  fields  of  study, 
and  the  teaching  of  the  basic  skills  of  thought 
and  expression  as  tools  with  which  to  in- 
tegrate acquired  knowledge  and  to  pursue 
new  ideas.  At  Bucknell  the  four-semester 
University  Course,  which  recently  was 
awarded  a  $25,000  grant  from  the  Carnegie 
Foundation,  is  an  experiment  of  this  kind. 
And  mindful  that  the  university  will  never 
arrive  at  the  place  where  it  has  constructed 
for  all  time  the  best  curriculum  which  it  can 
offer,  mindful  that  in  a  world  which  never 
stands  still  vision  in  the  educator  and  flexi- 
bility in  his  system  are  desperately  needed, 
the  Dean  of  the  College  with  the  help  of  the 
faculty  has  been  re-evaluating  the  present 
curriculum.  For  over  a  hundred  years  the 
evolution  of  the  curriculum  at  Bucknell  has 
been  motivated  by  a  constant  purpose :  to 
improve  the  quality  of  the  education  which 
the  university  offers  to  the  student. 


FRESHMEN — Class  of  1958 — and  Their  Relatives 

Thirty-nine  members  of  the  fresliman  class  are  the  sons  or  daughters  of  Bucknell 
parents  and  a  total  of  117  out  of  the  entering  class  of  555  new  students  have  relatives  who 
are  Bucknellians.  Among  the  relatives  listed  are  one  great-great-grandfather,  one  great- 
grandfather, one  grandmother,  two  grandfathers,  nineteen  brothers,  eighteen  sisters,  nine- 
teen uncles,  and  nine  aunts,  sixty-one  cousins  and  other  distant  relatives. 

This  year's  entering  students  who  are  children  of  Bucknellians  are  listed  below  with

Architect's  draHing  of  the  section  of  the  campus    ■loi)  o'  the  Hill,-'  showing  the  location  of 

the  new  dormitory  tor  freshman  men  (in  circle)  now  under  construction  and  plans  for 

future  development  of  that  area. 


In  the  first  nine  years  of  Bucknell  Univer- 
sity's Second  Century,  her  total  assets  will 
have  been  nearly  doubled. 

Back  in  1946  when  the  Second  Century 
Development  Program  was  inaugurated,  the 
University's  physical  assets  were  valued  at 
approximately  $3,900,000  and  her  endowment 
fund  stood  at  $1,500,000  in  round  figures,  for 
a  grand  total  of  $5,400,000. 

At  this  writing,  the  value  of  the  Univer- 
sity's property  is  placed  on  the  books  at  $5,- 
WXI.fKXJ  and  the  endowment  fund  stands  at 
S2/m.m)  for  a  total  of  $8,200,000.  By  the 
end  of  the  current  academic  year,  when  the 
present  building  projects  have  been  com- 
pleted, it  is  estimated  that  the  University's 
a-><.ets  will  be  up  another  $1,500,000  for  a 
Kranrl  total  in  the  neighborhoocl  of  $10,- 
OfXJ.fJOO. 

Three  years  ago,  when  the  ALUMNUS 
rep'/rtcd  on  the  status  of  the  Second  Century 
Development  Program,  it  stated  that  two  of 
the  program's  six  building  projects  had  been 
compbfted.  These  were  the  heating  plant 
arwl  the  new  library.  Now,  with  the  con- 
•truction  of  the  F.  W,  Olin  Science  Building 
well  under  way,  the  situation  can  be  nearly 
rfnore»I  by  the  .ttatctncnt :  Three  Up  and 
Three  To  Go, 

The  factors  not  covered  by  that  phrase 
are  the  renovation  of  Taylor  Hall,  wliiih 
ha«  just  iKfcn  completed  and  the  construction 
of  a  new  dormitory  for  freshman  men  that 
V  O  V  K  M  n  K  R    1  B  ■!  ♦ 


has  just  been  started.  These  were  contingen- 
cies not  foreseen  by  the  original  designers 
of  the  Second  Century  Program. 

The  remarkable  thing  about  this  rapid  im- 
provement of  the  University's  position  is 
that  much  of  this  work  has  been  done  without 
interference  with  the  University's  efforts  to 
build  up  the  Annual  Giving  Program  among 
Alumni.  Follf)wing  the  Heating  Plant  cam- 
paign which  was  a  full-scale  effort  among 
all  Alumni  and  Friends  of  the  University,  a 
definite  policy  was  established  tliat  there 
would  be  no  more  such  cam])aigns  until  such 
time  as  the  Alumni  Fund  had  reached  a 
status  comparable  to  those  of  otlicr  leading 
universities. 

Consequently,  no  campaign  was  organized 
to  erect  a  new  library  and  fortunately,  gifts 
from  a  small  number  of  individuals,  notably 
Mrs.  Kllen  Clarke  Berlraiul,  made  this  build- 
ing possible.  The  Olin  Science  Building 
came  as  the  result  of  a  single  gift  by  the 
Olin   bVjundation. 

A  number  of  Alumni  contriliulcd  volun- 
tarily to  the  renovation  of  Taylor  Hall,  but 
for  the  mo.st  part,  the  funds  came  from 
Friends,  Parents,  Industry  and  Fomulations. 
However,  it  should  be  noted  here  that  Hurk- 
nellians  now  in  medicine  or  allied  liclfls  were 
naturally  the  most  interested  in  the  Taylor 
Hall  proje<'f.  In  addition  to  giving  funrls  to 
the  project,  lliey  have  also  organized  so  llial 
their  support  of  the  Biology  Dcii.irliiniil  Is 
tr>  be  a  continuing  thing. 


The  new  men's  dormitory,  also  has  been 
made  possible  without  benefit  of  a  full-scale 
campaign.  In  fact,  the  bulk  of  the  funds 
necessary  for  this  project  are  being  made 
available  by  the  Trustees  of  the  University. 
At  the  present  time  27  members  of  the  Board 
liavc  pledged  or  paid  $321,000  toward  this 
project. 

Three  major  items  from  the  original  Sec- 
ond Century  Development  l^rogram  remain 
to  l)c  checked  off.  These  are  a  Cha])cl-Audi- 
torium,  a  new  Social  Science  and  .-ulclitions 
to  the  Men's  Gymnasium. 

In  the  meantime,  other  projects  have 
nudged  their  way  into  the  picture.  ImkIow- 
lucnt  for  faculty  salaries  and  scholarshijis 
are  demanding  attention  and  with  the  erec- 
tion of  the  Olin  Science  Building  and  the 
new  dormitory,  funds  nuist  lie  found  with 
which  to  remodel  the  old  cheniislry  liuildiiig 
and  the  (|iiarters  occupied  by  the  Physics 
ncpartment  in  l'2ast  College.  A  new  women's 
dormitory  to  replace  the  many  houses  on 
Si.\lh  Street  has  been  proposed  and  better 
facilities  for  the  Commerce  and  I'inance 
Department  and  the  School  of  Music  are 
necessary. 

Which  one  of  these  projects  will  be  given 
(op  |)riorily  is  a  matter  for  the  Board  to 
decide,  bill  in  any  event,  if  the  Univer,sity 
can  continnc  lo  increase  its  assets  by  $500,000 
per  yc'.-ir  as  it  has  done  over  the  past  nine 
years,  there  is  no  question  but  what  Buck- 
nell's  needs  will  be  met  eventually. 


The  Recent  Student  Demonstration 


After  six  years  of  study,  trial,  and  ex- 
perience in  efforts  to  control  student  drink- 
ing, the  Executive  Committee  issued  a  state- 
ment on  September  22  stating  that  the  use 
and  possession  of  alcoholic  beverages,  nor- 
mally banned  in  all  university  buildings, 
would  hereafter  be  banned  as  well  in  the 
fraternity  houses.  Naturally  this  subject  has 
been  of  a  controversial  nature,  but  the  ad- 
ministration in  arriving  at  its  decision  has 
done  so  only  after  a  determined  effort  to  act 
honestly  and  sincerely  in  the  interests  of  the 
individual  student  and  the  university. 

Disregarding  for  the  moment  the  several 
moral  factors  as  well  as  the  historical  back- 
ground of  the  university,  the  college  officials 
were  practically  compelled  to  recognize  the 
fact  that  a  large  percentage  of  the  student 
body  is  under  age  and  that  any  other  posi- 
tion taken  by  the  university  would,  in  effect, 
condone  the  breaking  of  the  Pennsylvania 
State  Laws.  There  are  undoubtedly  many 
phases  that  could  be  considered  in  connec- 
tion with  this  subject;  but  the  honest  effort 
on  the  part  of  the  university  to  work  for 
the  best  interests  of  the  students  is  readily 
recognized  and  it  is  hoped  and  expected  that 
the  alumni  and  friends  of  the  institution,  as 
well  as  the  student  body,  may  see  the  value 
of  the  position  taken  by  the  university  and 
support  the  new  regulation. 

The  announcement  of  the  new  policy  was 
made  by  the  Executive  Committee  at  a  meet- 
ing of  the  fraternity  presidents  and  social 
chairmen.  The  meeting  was  also  attended 
by  a  number  of  the  alumni  advisors  of  the 
fraternities.  The  Executive  Committee  is 
composed  of  Dr.  William  H.  Coleman,  vice 
president  and  dean  of  the  college ;  Malcolm 
E.  Musser,  dean  of  men ;  Miss  Mary  Jane 
Stevenson,  dean  of  women ;  Dr.  Dayton  L. 
Ranck,  vice  president  and  treasurer ;  George 
R.  Faint,  registrar ;  Walter  C.  Geiger,  super- 
intendent of  grounds  and  buildings ;  and 
three  members  of  the  faculty  elected  by  the 
faculty — Dr.  Albert  Blume,  associate  profes- 
sor of  German ;  Prof.  John  F.  Zeller,  III,  as- 
sistant professor  of  political  science ;  and 
Dr.  Manning  A.  Smith,  professor  of  chem- 
istry. The  statement  of  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee  reads   as    follows : 

Because  of  the  confusion  and  misunder- 
standing which  have  developed  in  inter- 
preting the  University's  policy  on  the  use  or 
possession  of  alcoholic  beverages  at  Buck- 
nell,  the  University  Executive  Committee 
deems  it  advisable  to  set  forth  a  precise 
statement  on  the  subject. 

The  Committee  has  adopted  the  following 
regtdation,  effective  immediately :  "Posses- 
sion or  use  of  alcoholic  beverages  in  any 
form  is  prohibited  in  all  University  buildings 
and  fraternity  houses." 

Bucknell,  since  her  founding,  has  been 
opposed  to  the  use  or  possession  of  alcoholic 
beverages  on  the  college  campus.  Five  years 
ago,  the  University's  trustees  went  on  record 
with  this  official  statement  of  policy : 

"Possession  or  use  of  alcoholic  beverages 
on  the  campus,  including  fraternity  houses, 
is  completely  opposed  to  the  best  interests  of 
Bucknell  and  any  use  thereof  resulting  in  dis- 
credit to  Bucknell  will  be  handled  with  the 
utmost  severity. 

"The  use  or  possession  of  alcoholic  bev- 
erages has  been  traditionally  forbidden  in 
all  college  buildings,  and  on  this  point  there 
is  apparently  little  misunderstanding. 

"In  the  case  of  fraternity  houses,  however, 
the  policy  has  been  interpreted  somewhat 
differently. 

"Bucknell's  administrative  officers  have 
given  this  matter  intensive  consideration 
over  a  long  period.  It  seems  to  us  to  be 
highly  inconsistent  to  insist  upon  one  interpre- 

6 


tation  of  policy  for  students  living  in  the 
college  dormitories  and  to  permit  another  in- 
terpretation in  fraternity  houses. 

"Nor  can  we  condone  a  situation  in  which 
alcoholic  beverages  are  unlawfully  furnished 
to   minors. 

"We  have  therefore  concluded  that  a  spe- 
cific ruling  covering  both  college  buildings 
and  fraternity  houses  is  necessary  in  order 
properly  to  execute  the  policy  formulated  by 
the  trustees. 

"At  the  time  that  the  trustee  statement 
was  announced  in  1949,  it  was  indicated  by 
the  trustees  that  the  implementation  of  this 
policy  was  an  administrative  matter,  to  be 
handled  by  the  college  officials  on  the 
campus. 

"The  Executive  Committee  has  accord- 
ingly acted  to  define  our  policy  by  prohibit- 
ing the  use  of  alcoholic  beverages  in  all 
Bucknell  buildings  and  fraternity  houses." 

Publication  of  the  full  statement  of  the 
Executive  Committee  two  days  later  in 
The  Bucknellian,  student  newspaper,  and 
a  short  editorial  pointing  out  that  prohibition 
would  cause  increased  drinking  off  campus, 
resulting  in  dangerous  driving  after  drinking 
and  suggesting  the  proposal  made  by  the 
fraternities  last  spring,  i.  e.,  "tolerate  drink- 
ing but  punish  severely  and  consistently  all 
the  groups  or  individuals  who  practice  in- 
discriminate drinking"  were  the  first  re- 
actions to  the  announcement.  During  the 
following  week  the  fraternities,  through  the 
Interfraternity  Council,  were  busy  discussing 
a  proposal  of  compromise  on  drinking  in 
fraternity  houses  to  be  presented  to  the  Ex- 
ecutive Committee  for  consideration.  Before 
this  could  be  accomplished,  however,  some 
students  displayed  publicly  their  dislike  for 
the  new  regulation. 

Student  demonstrations  against  the  ruling 
occurred  on  Sunday  and  Monday  nights, 
October  3  and  4.  The  Sunday  night  demon- 
stration was  of  a  rather  spontaneous  nature 
and  was  engaged  in  by  300  to  500  students. 
The  student  outbursts,  in  the  main,  represent- 
ed demonstrations  by  certain  students  (and 
it  should  be  remembered  that  outbursts  of 
this  nature  may  occur  on  college  campuses 
with  little  provocation).  In  both  displays  of 
opposition  by  students,  no  property  damage 
resulted,  nor  were  there  any  injuries  reported. 

In  its  issue  following  the  demonstrations, 
The  Bucknellian  devoted  about  eight  full 
columns — about  one  and  one -third  pages — 
to  the  liquor  ban.  It  published  one  student 
letter  of  protest  against  the  ban  and  pointed 
out  that  the  editors  of  the  publication  are 
100  per  cent  behind  the  sentiment  expressed 
in  the  demonstration,  but  the  lead  editorial, 
entitled  "Sound  and  Fury,  Accomplishing 
Nothing,"  expressed  this  conclusion :  "the 
demonstrations  defeated  their  own  purpose", 
and  this  hope :  "We  hope  our  fatalistic  at- 
titude will  not  discourage  responsible  leaders 
in  Student  Faculty  Congress  and  the  In- 
terfraternity Coimcil  from  working  out  a 
compromise  plan.  It  should  have  been  their 
problem  all  along." 

Naturally  the  ban  will  have  its  effect  upon 
the  fraternity  houses,  and  it  has  been  in- 
teresting to  observe  that  the  national  officers 
of  practically  all  the  fraternities  represent- 
ed on  the  campus,  and  especially  those  as- 
sociated with  the  Interfraternity  Conference, 
have  given  their  unqualified  endorsement  of 
the  position  taken  by  the  university  and  in 
practically  every  instance  offered  their  help 
in    enforcing   the    regulation. 

Actually,  national  fraternities  represented 
on  the  campus  all  have  drinking  restrictions 
in  their  chapter  regulations  and  at  least  one 
campus  fraternity  chapter  adopted  a  rule  ban- 


ning intoxicants  before  the  university  regu- 
lation was  announced. 

The  Bucknell  University  Fathers'  Associa- 
tion, meeting  on  the  campus  on  October  9, 
went  on  record  as  unconditionally  support- 
ing the  university's  stand  on  alcoholic  bever- 
ages. The  two  governing  bodies  of  the  stu- 
dents, the  Women's  Student  Government 
Association  and  the  Men's  Student  Assem- 
bly, expressed  to  Bucknell  University  their 
sincere  regret  "for  the  detrimental  publicity 
resulting  from  recent  student  demonstra- 
tions." The  senate  of  WSGA  went  on  to 
say  that  "in  the  event  of  any  future  dis- 
turbance of  this  or  any  other  sort,  every 
woman  student,  under  our  Honor  System, 
is  responsible  for  complete  understanding 
and  compliance  with  this  regulation.  It  is 
to  be  understood  that  this  applies  to  all 
phases  of  conduct  which  could  defame  the 
reputation  of  Bucknell  University." 

A  number  of  organizations  and  individuals, 
including  alumni,  on  and  off  the  campus, 
lost  no  time  in  expressing  their  approval 
of  the  edict  by  telephone  calls,  telegrams,  and 
letters  to  university  officials.  According  to 
information  received  at  the  offices  on  the 
hill,  numerous  colleges  throughout  the  coun- 
try have  been  wrestling  with  this  same  sub- 
ject, and  in  many  instances,  action  similar 
to  that  taken  by  Bucknell  has  been  taken 
by  other  educational  institutions. 


The  sixteenth  annual  Dad's  Day  cele- 
bration was  held  on  the  Bucknell  campus 
on  October  9  and  10.  Features  of  the 
weekend  were  the  Board  of  Directors  of 
the  Fathers'  Association  meeting,  a  Dad's 
Day  Luncheon,  the  Bucknell-Lehigh  foot- 
ball game,  and  evening  entertainment  by 
the.  Men's  and  Women's   Glee  Clubs. 

Speakers  at  the  Dad's  Luncheon  were 
Dr.  William  H.  Coleman,  dean  and  vice 
president;  Dr.  Dayton  L.  Ranck,  treasur- 
er and  vice  president;  and  Dr.  Joseph 
Henderson,  acting  president  of  the  Uni- 
versity. Mr.  George  Holton  of  Pelham, 
New  York,  president  of  the  Fathers'  As- 
sociation presided  at  the  luncheon. 

Saturday  afternoon.  Dads  witnessed  the 
Bucknell-Lehigh  football  game  in  Me- 
morial Stadium  and  on  Saturday  night, 
were  entertained  by  the  Glee  Clubs  in 
Davis  Gymnasium.  During  the  evening 
program,  a  rotating  plaque  was  presented 
to  the  new  president  of  the  Fathers'  Asso- 
ciation by  Booster  Club  president,  Pat 
Mansfield  '55.  A  plaque  was  also  given 
for  the  S.  Dale  Spotts  Auditorium  in  the 
newly  renovated  Taylor  Hall. 

An  informal  reception  forthe  Dads  fol- 
lowed the  evening  program  in  the  gym.

BOOK  SHELF 


MARY  McClelland  lago  '40. 

They  Live  in  the  City. 
Friendship  Press,  N.  Y. 

This  fascinating  story  is  written  about  the 
life  and  action  of  teen  agers  wlio  live  in 
the  citj',  or  who  have  come  recently  to  its 
industrial  suburban  developments.  It  is  not 
about  dust  bowl  victims,  but  comfortable 
Americans  who  have  followed  to  the  cities. 
There  is  portrayed  the  drug  store  gang  of 
the  new  housing  development  in  W'estmont; 
the  sophisticated  teen  agers  of  the  higher 
economic  levels  of  the  city  nearby ;  and  the 
Scorpian  gang  in  the  slums.  We  meet  Katy, 
recently  from  a  small  village,  yearning  for 
friendship  in  her  new  community.  There  is 
Barrv'  who  is  hospitalized  with  rheumatic 
fever,  whose  mother  can  scarcely  make  ends 
meet.  Barr\-  is  sullen  and  an  introvert.  Joe 
and  Nick  and  their  gang  make  spending 
money  in  minor  thefts,  becoming  bolder 
with  time.  They  war  on  a  Negro  youth 
group.  Nick's  sister  is  injured  by  a  trailer 
truck.  Jeflt,  the  Negro  boy,  is  the  envy  of 
the  baseball  fans.  The  exclusive  section  of 
the  citj',  which  helps  maintain  social  services 
in  the  slums  doesn't  care  to  meet  the  people 
who  live  there,  or  to  share  too  generously 
with  them.  Mr.  Anderson  is  a  very  deter- 
mined man  and  most  respectable,  and  a 
churchman.  But  then  there  are  some  other 
people  who  must  be  taken  into  account — 
Mr.  Martin,  Dr.  Halstead,  :Mr.  "Mike,"  The 
Shacklefords,  Barbara  and  Elizabeth, 

The  author  has  woven  her  stirring  story 
around  the  lives  of  these  people,  and  shows 
what  can  be  done  with  the  cooperation  of  the 
churches,  community  agencies,  citizens  of 
good-will  when  leadership  is  wisely  exer- 
cised. The  story  has  come  out  of  real  life 
situations  and  experiences  in  the  vicinity  of 
St.  Louis. 

The  author,  Mrs.  Mary  McClelland  Lago 
'40,  is  now  the  wife  of  Dr.  Gladwyn  Lago 
of  the  department  of  electrical  engineering 
of  the  University  of  Missouri.  As  a  student 
at  Bucknell,  Mary  was  an  English  major  with 
much  participation  in  music.  Her  second 
love  was  journalism.  Upon  graduation  she 
took  a  position  with  the  Friendship  Press  in 
New  York,  first  as  secretarial.  She  then 
began  to  do  some  editing  and  writing  for  the 
Press.  Her  articles  have  also  appeared  in 
other  magazines,  such  as  Mademoiselle.  In 
Columbia  fMo.)  she  has  been  active  in  or- 
chestra and  choir,  and  in  her  church,  which 
is  now  Episcopal.  Her  social  concerns  have 
brought  her  in  contact  with  many  commu- 
nity enterprises  throughout  the  state.  This 
most  recent  publication  of  hers  expresses  her 
ideas  on  delinquency  and  what  can  be  done 
for  a  wholesome  community  life.  A  gifted 
writer,  she  is  joined  in  this  book  by  the  tal- 
ents of  a  remarkably  good  photographer, 
Edward  C.  Meyer  of  the  St.  Louis  Globe- 
Democrat.

ROBERT  T.  OLIVER. 

Synqmim  Khcc,  The  Man  liehind  the  Myth. 
tjfxjd.  Mead  &  a,mpany,  N.  Y.,  1954. 

In  AuKUst  1942  iJr.  Robert  T.  Oliver  first 
met  Syngman  Rhce  through  their  mutual 
friend.  Reverend  Edward  junkin,  formerly 
pa»tor  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  I^-wis- 
imrjf.  At  the  time  of  the  meeting  Rhcc  was 
Prc\idcnf  of  the  Provisional  Government  of 
Korea  and  Dr.  Oliver  w;n  Chairman  of  the 
Speech   Department  at   Bucknell   University, 

They  met  in  a  small  cafeteria  on  Connccti- 
rul  Avenue,  WashinKtfjn,  D,  ('..  Impressed

public.  Rhee  replied,  "I  am  not  a  writer ; 
why  don't  you?"  Since  that  initial  contact 
Dr.  Oliver  lias  been  the  outstanding  advocate 
of  Korea's  cause  in  the  United  States.  In 
1944  he  wrote  Korea;  Forgotten  Nation;  in 
1950,  Uniy  War  Came  to  Korea;  in  19S1,  The 
Truth  About  Korea;  in  1952,  Verdict  in 
Korea;  in  1953,  he  served  as  editor  for 
Korea,  My  Country  by  Yung  Tai  Pyun; 
and  now,  Syngman  Rhee,  The  Man  Behind 
the  Myth. 

The  biography  of  Rhee  is  a  sixty-year  his- 
tory of  his  people  from  the  days  prior  to 
the  Russian-Japanese  War  to  the  post-Ko- 
rean W'ar  period  of  1954.  Introduced  to 
American  democratic  ideals  through  Metho- 
dist missionaries  in  the  Pai  Jai  Middle 
Scliool,  Rhee  with  a  small  group  attempted 
to  bring  reform  under  the  Korean  Emperor. 
Caught  between  Russian  and  Japanese  pres- 
sures from  abroad,  and  a  domestic  reform 
movement,  the  emperor  established  a  Privy 
Council  made  up  of  reform  proponents.  In 
1S97  Rhee  served  on  this  Council  as  Speaker. 
However,  the  forthright  actions  of  the  Coun- 
cil led  to  the  seven  year  imprisonment  of 
Rhee.  Released  by  a  new  emperor  Rhee  en- 
tered a  stream  of  Korean  life  dominated  by 
the  Japanese.  Unable  to  give  Rhee  diplo- 
matic status  because  of  the  presence  of  the 
Japanese  the  emperor  sent  him  as  a  student 
to  intercede  with  Theodore  Roosevelt  under 
the  Amity  Agreement  of  1882  between  Korea 
and  the  United  States.  This  mission  was 
unsuccessful  for  the  United  States  was  pro- 
moting friendly  relations  with  Japan.  Again, 
at  the  end  of  World  War  I,  as  a  friend  of 
President  Wilson,  Rhee  sought  to  invoke 
the  "right  of  self-determination  of  peoples," 
with  failure  as  a  result.  Not  until  the  ter- 
mination of  World  War  II  were  the  Koreans 
to  achieve  independence  as  a  half-nation,  with 
Syngman  Rhee  as  President.  The  removal 
of  Japan  from  Korea  again  meant  the  up- 
surge of  Russia  to  threaten  Korea.  Today, 
at  the  end  of  fourscore  years  Rhee  is  creat- 
ing democratic  government  in  Korea  where 
laws  are  made  through  the  process  of  par- 
liamentary procedure  rather  than  arbitrary 
decree.

(Co- Author). 

Statistical    Analysis    in    Chemistry    and    the 

Chemical  Industry. 

John  Wiley  &  Sons,  Inc. 

Dr.  Carl  A.  Bennett,  the  head  of  General 
Electric's  Statistics  unit  in  Operations  Anal- 
ysis at  the  Hanford  Atomic  Products  Opera- 
tion, has  just  been  announced  as  co-autlior 
of  a  book  published  recently  on  applied  sta- 
tistics in  the  chemical  field  titled  Statistical 
Analysis  in  Chemistry  and  the  Chemical  In- 
dustry. 

His  co-author  is  Norman  L.  Franklin,  pro- 
fessor of  chemical  engineering  with  the  Uni- 
versity of  Leeds  in  Leeds,  England. 

Looking  well  ahead,  the  National  Research 
Council's  Committee  on  Applied  Mathemati- 
cal Statistics  decided,  in  1949,  that  the  great- 
ly accelerating  interest  in  the  use  of  modern 
statistical  methods  in  chemistry  was  gener- 
ating a  need  for  an  adequate  book  on  this 
subject. 

To  write  an  effective  book  of  this  sort  it 
was  decided  that  two  authors  would  be  re- 
quired— one  a  mathematical  statistician,  the 
other  a  chemist — each  with  experience  in  the 
other's  field. 

After  gaining  the  .services  of  the  two 
authors  listed  above,  the  committee  then 
agreed  to  sponsor  the  unrlcrtaking  with  fi- 
nancial sM|>port  from  the  Office  of  Naval 
Research.  It  has  been  published  by  John 
Wiley  aiKJ  Sons,  Inc. 

The  book,  in  its  724  pages,  presents  the 
d'-velopmcnt  of  tho.sc  aspects  of  applied 
mathematical    statistics   which   will    be   con- 


tinually useful  to  chemists  and  chemical  en- 
gineers. It  starts  from  the  beginning  of  the 
subject  and,  dealing  with  each  topic  as  com- 
pletely as  possible,  gives  the  theoretical  back- 
ground and  derivation  of  the  methods,  to- 
gether with  computational  procedures.

NORMAN   THOMAS   '05. 

The  Test  for  Freedom. 

W.  W.  Norton  and  Company,  N.  Y.,  1954. 

With  the  rise  and  development  of  "Mc- 
Carthyism"  Americans  again  have  become 
conscious  of  the  Bill  of  Rights.  Numerous 
works  flow  from  the  press  denouncing  the 
challenge  to  or  upholding  the  protection  of 
those  basic  rights.  Norman  Thomas  adds  his 
voice  to  the  growing  throng  who  think  the 
American  people  by  apathy  or  indifference 
stand  a  chance  of  having  them  ignored  or 
discarded.  He  resents  the  fact  that  liberty 
and  security  have  been  impaired  by  involving 
them  so  deeply  in  the  politics  of  McCarthy- 
ism. 

In  the  Preface  of  his  book  the  author  says, 
"This  book  will  speak  for  itself  or  it  will 
not  speak  at  all."  His  first  chapter  is  devot- 
ed to  a  defense  of  his  writing  the  book  in  the 
first  place.  For  the  more  mature  reader 
Norman  Thomas  needs  to  make  no  apology 
for  his  interest  in  the  subject,  nor  does  he 
need  to  explain  by  relating  numerous  per- 
sonal experiences  his  interest  in  the  subject 
of  Freedom.  Certainly,  this  reader  is  con- 
vinced that  Mr.  Thomas  is  admirably  well 
qualified  through  experience  and  action  to 
discuss  this  topic  and  to  give  his  reasoning 
and  conclusions  on  the  test  for  freedom  today. 

Wliile  the  author  does  not  tell  us  anything 
new  or  startling  in  his  book,  he  does  present 
a  picture  of  the  challenge  to  our  basic  free- 
doms. His  analysis  is  penetrating  and  clear ; 
his  style  is  simple,  yet  forceful ;  and  his 
work  makes  interesting  reading.  It  will 
clarify  the  thinking  of  many  people  who  have 
been  flooded  with  literature  on  the  subject 
accompanied  by  charges  and  countercharges 
resulting  in  almost  complete  confusion. 

The  Jefferson  ideal  of  individual  freedom 
is  accepted  by  Thomas  as  the  norm.  He 
traces  the  fight  made  by  Jefferson  for  his 
principles,  and  he  shows  that  in  practically 
every  generation  these  ideals  are  challenged, 
as  for  example,  the  Alien  and  Sedition  Laws, 
slavery,  the  Ku  Klux  Klan,  the  treatment 
of  aliens  in  World  War  I  and  World  War 
II,  and  especially  the  treatment  of  the  Japa- 
nese-Americans in  the  1940's. 

Recognizing  the  threat  of  Communism  to 
the  American  Way  of  Life  the  author  was 
one  of  the  early  opponents  of  the  spread 
of  the  doctrine  of  Marx. 

Wliile  cognizant  of  the  sinister  aspects  of 
Communism,  Norman  Thomas  is  tremen- 
dously concerned  about  the  new  challenge 
to  American  freedoms — McCarthyism.  He 
appraises  the  movement  of  McCartliyism  and 
is  firmly  convinced  that  it  is  larger  and  more 
important  than  the  man  who  is  its  symbol. 
Under  McCarthyism  he  shows  the  develop- 
ments which  have  culminated  in  the  accept- 
ance by  Americans  in  the  limitation  of  their 
freedoms :  The  Smith  and  McCarran  Ads, 
the  Congressional  investigations  with  their 
ignoring  individual  rights,  the  loyalty  and 
.security  tests,  and  McCarthyism  at  state  and 
local  levels.  In  each  instance  the  author 
gives  examples  of  the  abuse  of  authority  and 
the  tranijiling  of  individual  rights  by  tlie  iicr- 
sons  involved.  He  jioimcd  out  numerous  iii- 
.stances  where  innocent  persons  were  victim- 
ized tinder  the  jjretext  tluit  the  persons  re- 
sponsible were  defending  America. 

While  the  author  is  not  too  pessimistic,  he 
ends  his  book  with  this  warning:  "To  us 
Americans  much  has  been  given ;  of  us  much 
is  rc(|uired."

CLUB  ACTIVITIES 


ALTOONA— The  Blair  County  Alumni 
club  of  Bucknell  met  Thursday,  Sept.  2  at 
the  American  Association  of  University 
Women's  home  with  Dr.  L.  H.  Weiss  ('38), 
president,  in  charge. 

Guests  of  the  club  were  Richard  White 
and  John  Hill,  Jr.,  who  entered  Bucknell 
this  fall  and  Lionel  Kranitz,  who  is  a 
senior  at  the  University. 

The  next  session  of  the  group  will  be  a 
dinner  meeting  in  January.

HARRISBURG  — The  Bucknell  Alumni 
of  Harrisburg  met  regularly  for  dinner 
meetings  on  the  first  Thursday  of  each 
month  from  March.  1953,  through  May, 
1954,  at  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  Front  and  North 
Sts.,  Harrisburg.  We  had  an  average  of 
35  Alumni  attending  the  Spring  meetings. 
Our  programs  included  group  discussions 
of  a  film,  THE  TOYMAKER,  an  Easter 
message  from  Dr.  Robert  Stephens  of  the 
Market  Square  Presbyterian  Church,  and 
Mr.  R.  L.  Lindsey  of  the  Harrisburg 
School  District. 

Our  traditional  picnic  supper  for  fresh- 
men entering  Bucknell  from  the  Harris- 
burg area  was  held  at  Reservoir  Park  on 
Sept.  2,  1954.  Of  the  68  people  present. 
30  were  freshmen  and  their  parents. 

We  were  very  happy  to  have  Janet  Lehr, 
a  junior  at  Bucknell  and  Jack  Gresham,  a 
sophomore,  with  us  as  well.  Janet  and 
Jack  discussed  the  many  and  varied  stu- 
dent activities  at  Bucknell  which  ^vas  not 
only  of  value  in  terms  of  orientation  for 
our  freshman  guests,  but  of  interest  to  the 
graduates.  We  were  fortunate  in  having 
Mr.  John  F.  Zeller  '41,  professor  of  politi- 
cal science,  with  us  as  our  speaker.  Mr. 
Zeller  interpreted  the  Bucknell  way  of  life 
from  the  faculty  viewpoint,  and  shared 
with  us  his  thinking  in  regard  to  the  use 
a  student  can  make  of  the  opportunity  for 
learning.  This  seemed  to  us  to  be  a  very 
fine  beginning  for  the  resumption  of  our 
regular  monthly  meetings  for  the  Fall 
season.

READING— The  Bucknell  Alumni  Club 
of  Reading  entertained  freshman  students 
from  this  area  entering  Bucknell  this  fall, 
at  a  party  September  8,  in  the  Wyomissing 
Club. 

Three  present  students  at  the  University 
spoke  on  various  phases  of  school  life. 
Dale  Bowen,  a  junior,  told  of  the  athletic 
program  at  school.  Susan  Fleming,  a 
senior,  spoke  on  the  sorority  activities  and 
the  extra  curricular  activities  were  dis- 
cussed by  Lolita  Bunnell,  a  junior. 

The  University  government  and  policies 
were  discussed  by  Dr.  Clair  G.  Spangler,  a

The  York  Picnic  Featured  Good  Food  and  Relaxation 


June  26  was  the  day  and  Marlyn  Etzweiler's  ('27)  cottage  along  the  Susquehanna  was  the 
place  for  the  summer  picnic  of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of  York.  After  a  busy  afternoon  of 
swimming,  badminton,  horseshoes,  and  ping-pong,  a  delightful  picnic  supper  was  enjoyed,  fol- 
lowed by  the  usual  relaxing  and  lounging.  Then  came  bingo,  with  Peggy  Deardorfif  ('52),  our 
club  president,  winning  most  of  the  prizes.  After  dark  Mr.  Etzweiler  entertained  the  50  Buck- 
nellians  in  attendance  with  some  of  his  finest  movies.

THE  MUSICAL  ORGANIZATIONS— 

The  musical  organizations  are  setting  up 
a  program  of  appearances  for  the  coming 
year  that  will  reach  most  of  our  Alumni 
centers  of  activity.  After  appearing  on  a 
program  of  the  Pennsylvania  Baptist 
Convention  in  October  the  chapel  choir 
will  have  a  tour,  November  6,  7,  and  8 
to  Altoona,  Zelienople,  McKeesport,  and 
Philipsburg.  A  later  trip  scheduled  ten- 
tatively for  April  24,  25,  and  26,  will  take 
the   choir   to   Baltimore  and   Philadelphia. 

The  Women's  Glee  Club  is  planning 
their  annual  tour  for  February  5-9  with 
appearances  scheduled  oh  February  5  at 
Teaneck,  N.  J.  (joint  concert  with  the 
NYU  Men's  Glee  Club),  at  West  Point 
on  February  6,  and  appearances  at  High 
Schools  on  Long  Island  and  Northern 
New  Jersey. 

The  Men's  Glee  Club  tour  scheduled 
for  February  7-10  will  take  that  popular 
singing  organization  to  Washington,  Bal- 
timore, York,  Hagerstown,  and  Wilming- 
ton. 

Alumni  in  the  areas  being  visited  by 
the  musical  organizations  are  cordially 
invited  to  attend  the  public  performances 
and  will  be  notified  of  the  exact  time  and 
place  through  the  local  newspapers.  You 
are  missing  something  worth-while  if  you 
skip  the  opportunity  to  hear  any  of  the 
Bucknell  musical  organizations  in  action 
in  your  home  community. 

SAINT  PETERSBURG— The  first  meet- 
ing of  the  season  for  the  Bucknell  Alumni 
Club  of  Saint  Petersburg,  Florida  will  be

in  the  form  of  a  covered  dish  luncheon  at 
the  home  of  Mrs.  Henry  Colestock,  1711 
48th  Ave.  N.,  St.  Petersburg.  Bucknelli- 
ans  travelling  in  Florida  should  remember 


that  the  St.  Petersburg  Club  meets  regu- 
larly during  the  winter  season.  When 
you  reach  St.  Petersburg  please  call  Mrs. 
Ruth  S.  Porter,  secretary,  2710  Dartmouth 
Ave.,  St.  Petersburg,  to  learn  the  meeting

WASHINGTON— The  Bucknell  Alumni 
Club  of  Metropolitan  Washington  held  its 
fall  meeting  in  the  form  of  a  picnic  on 
Saturday,  Sept.  11,  1954,  at  the  Palisades 
Field  House  and  Park,  Washington,  D.  C. 
It  was  a  "Pot-Luck"  picnic  with  each 
family  contributing  part  of  the  meal.  The 
weather  was  fine  and  a  good  number  of 
Alumni  turned  out  for  an  afternoon  of  fun 
and  relaxation. 

The  only  business  brought  up  was  the 
election  of  Mr.  George  Porter  as  Treasur- 
er of  the  Club  for  the  coming  year.  Men- 
tion was  also  made  about  the  November 
meeting  which  will  be  a  dinner  and  fun 
night  at  the  Fairfax  Hotel,  Washington, 
November  27,  1954.

Alumni  Meetings  in  the  Skies 

On  two  occasions  during  the  past  sum- 
mer Bucknellians  met  in  the  skies  over 
Europe  and  proceeded  to  hold  impromptu 
Bucknell  meetings. 

While  flying  from  Venice  to  Munich 
during  a  recent  visit  to  Europe  this  past 
summer  Dr.  Edward  G.  Hartmann  '37, 
director  of  libraries  and  associate  professor 
of  history  of  Suffolk  University.  Boston, 
found  himself  seated  next  to  a  distin- 
guished gentleman.  Subsequent  conver- 
sation revealed  the  distinguished  gentle- 
man was  also  a  Bucknell  Alumnus,  Mr. 
Rush  H.  Kress  '00,  also  enjoying  the 
beauties  of  Europe.  As  might  be  expect- 
ed, Bucknell  was  high  upon  the  agenda 
of  conversation. 

Ambassador  and  Mrs.  Horace  A.  Hil- 
dreth  also  met  Mr.  Kress  and  his  family 
on  a  London  to  Istanbul  flight.  The  Hil- 
dreths  were  en  route  to  Pakistan  after 
having  spent  a  month  in  the  LInited  States, 
during  which  time  Dr.  Hildreth  was  a 
visitor  on  the  Bucknell  campus. 

NOVEMBER    19  54 


SPORTS 


Football — the  1954  Season 
— to  Date 

The  fact  tliat  Bucknell  University's  1954 
grid  machine  received  top  bilHng  by  the 
nation's  press  services  as  one  of  the  "unde- 
feated major  colleges"  mid-way  in  the  cam- 
paign is  reason  to  term  Coach  Harry  Law- 
rence's eighth  season  at  the  helm  of  tlie 
Bisons  a  success. 

Previously,  the  Bisons  were  excluded  from 
the  list  of  major  colleges  in  the  football 
realm  but  the  Thundering  Herd  caught  fire 
and  also  caught  the  attention  of  the  coun- 
trj-'s  grid  authorities  with  smashing  victor- 
ies over  Gettvsburg,  29-0 ;  !MuWenberg,  33- 
13 ;  Lehigh,  48-46 ;  Temple,  27-0,  and  Lafay- 
ette. 7-0. 

In  the  same  stretch,  the  Orange  and  Blue 
skjTocketed  to  the  top  of  Peimsylvania's 
college  elevens  becoming  one  of  two  unde- 
feated squads  with  five  victories  and  pacing 
the  field  with  the  most  points.  144  in  five 
games. 

Also,  midwaj-  in  the  campaign,  the  Bisons 
held  claim  to  the  front-running  individual 
pointmaker  throughout  Pennsylvania  in  Bob 
Ford  of  CoUingswood,  X.  J.,  with  a  grand 
total  of  48  points  in  the  five  engagements. 
Ford,  who  rallied  from  a  severe  attack  of 
grippe  to  become  Bucknell 's  top  ground 
gainer,  had  his  biggest  day  when  he  carried 
66  times  against  Lehigh  for  a  total  gain  of 
312  yards. 

And  then  comes  the  big  question  in  the 
minds  of  Bucknellians  as  well  as  football 
followers  throughout  the  country.  "Is  this 
the  same  eleven  that  eked  out  a  lone  victory 
while  losing  eight  in  1953?" 

Coach  Lawrence  claims,  "Essentially  the 
same  ball  club  except  for  some  changes  in 
position."  adding  that,  "it's  a  matter  of 
youth  and  experience." 

Alumni  will  recall  that  Coach  Lawrence 
b>-passed  his  seniors  in  the  waning  weeks 
of  the  1953  season  to  turn  loose  his  juniors 
and  sophomores  "for  experience."  His  plan- 
ning brought  early  dividends  in  1954  and 
a  lot  of  colorful,  victorious   football  games 

for  Bucknell.

Basketball  Prospects  Do 
Look  Brighter 

Writing  under  the  above  heading  in  last 
December's  ALUMNUS  we  predicted  that 
the  season  would  be  better  than  the  previous 
one,  when  three  games  resulted  in  victories. 
The  season  wound  up  with  four  victories  in 
the  winning  column,  but  when  the  fighting 
spirit  of  the  Club  is  considered  and  when 
it  is  remembered  that  one  of  the  wins  was 
over  Colgate  and  further  that  the  team 
held  nationally  ranked  Penn  State  to  a  six 
IK)int  margin,  it  is  realized  that  the  squad 
gave  all  it  had  throughout  the  season. 

So  wc  say  "Basketball  prospects  do  look 
brighter."  In  the  first  place  four  stalwart 
lettcrmen  arc  returning.  They  are  Dick 
Bradway  '55  and  Herb  Cox  '55,  Pittsburgh  ; 
Steve  Smith  '55,  I'crkasie ;  Rick  Johnson  '55, 
Plainfield,  New  Jersey.  From  the  frosh 
team  of  last  year,  which  finished  with  a  rec- 
ord of  IS  win.s  and  only  2  losses  will  be  the 
following  .vjphomores :  Martin  Tanncnhaum, 
Markcn.sack,  N.  J.;  Joe  Haccelli,  Niagara 
J-'alli,  N.  v.;  John  Bcatty,  Charlcroi ;  Norm 
Vofirhcei,  Mcadvillc;  and  Mike  Corrigan, 
Kutztown, 

With  a  new  freshman  squad  that  looks 
much  Ix-ttcr  than  average  Bucknellians  would 
do  well  to  plan  to  see  lyith  Cliili.s  in  action 
on  the  road.  A  fine  schedule  of  away  games 
ha.s  iK-cn  arranged  and  rifficers  of  Alumni 
Clubs  arc  urged  to  organize  grf/up  dinners 
ami  attendance  when  the  Basketliall  teams 
visit  their  cfrtnmunitics,

ENROLLMENT  AND  ADMISSIONS 

by  George  R.  Faint,  Registrar  and  Director  of  Admissions 


Fall  Enrollment 

The  enrollment  for  the  first  semester  of 
1954-1955  is  more  than  three  per  cent 
better  than  for  1953-1954,  or  a  grand  total 
of  about  1930  students.  The  increase  in 
the  freshman  class  is  nearly  five  per  cent. 

New  Admissions  Policy  for  1955  and  Later 
Effective  with  the  class  entering  in  Sep- 
tember, 1955.  candidates  will  be  required 
to  present  the  full  day  of  testing  under 
the  College  Entrance  Examination  Board,

though results  from  earlier  series  will  be 


Harry  Johnson  '22  Promoted 
to  Brigadier  General 


HARRY  JOHNSON  '22 

Word  comes  from  Bad  Kreuznach,  Ger- 
many that  Harry  W.  Johnson  '22,  assis- 
tant commander  tor  the  Second  Armored 
Division  in  Germany,  recently  was  pro- 
moled  to  the  rank  of  brigadier  general. 
At   his   present   duty   station   since  April, 


considered.  The  first,  and  major,  selection 
of  candidates  will  be  made  late  in  April 
or  early  in  May,  1955. 

The  support  of  alumni  in  presenting 
Bucknell  University  to  prospective  stu- 
dents is  appreciated,  and  more  eft'orts  to 
attract  well-qualified  students  who  do  not 
need  financial  aid  is  especially  needed.  In 
several  of  the  alumni  clubs,  more  interest 
is  being  manifested  in  the  solicitation  of 
students. 

Itinerary  of  Admission  Staff 

Fitz  R.  Walling,  Admissions  Counselor, 
will  be  in  the  Boston  area  the  week  of 
November  1,  Long  Island  week  of  Novem- 
ber 8,  and  lower  New  York  state  the 
week  of  November  15.  Mr.  Faint  will  be 
in  the  New  York  area  the  week  of  No- 
vember 1,  and  in  Pennsj'lvania  towns  the 
weeks  of  November  8  and  15. 

Enrollment  Prospects  for  1955  and  Later 

More  young  people  plan  to  attend  col- 
lege each  year,  and  in  just  a  few  years 
the  higher  birth  rate  will  greatly  increase 
the  college-bound  group.  This  should 
enable  us  to  select  better  qualified  stu- 
dents. In  1955,  it  is  anticipated  greater 
interest  will  be  possible  for  men  because 
of  the  erection  of  a  new  residence  hall, 
and  for  science  students  because  of  the 
renovation  of  Taylor  Hall  and  the  comple- 
tion of  the  F.  W.  Olin  Science  Building. 

Literature 

The  registrar  is  more  than  happy  to 
send  literature  to  alumni  who  are  interest- 
ed in  helping  to  inform  prospective  stu- 
dents of  our  facilities. 


he  was  previously  director  of  the  com- 
mand and  staiif  department  of  the  Armored 
School  at  Fort  Knox,  Ky. 

Graduated  from  the  U.  S.  Military 
Academy  in  1926,  General  Johnson  par- 
ticipated in  the  Normandy  landing  during 
World  War  II.  His  decorations  include 
the  Silver  Star,  Legion  of  Merit,  Bronze 
Star  with  three  Oak  Leaf  Clusters,  and 
the  Belgian  Croix  de  Guerre  with  one 
Oak  Leaf  Cluster. 

General  Johnson  is  a  member  of  one 
of  Bucknell's  larger  alumni  families.  His 
sister  Mary  E.,  wife  of  Cameron  Bicbcr, 
graduated  in  '28  and  his  three  Buckncl- 
lian  brothers  include:  Gyrus  L.  '22,  George 
W.  '31,  and  James  R.  '26. 

General  and  Mrs.  Johnson  can  be 
reached  by  addressing:  Hq.  2nd  Armored

Herbert  F.  Harris  '96  Dies 

Herbert  Frederick  Harris  '96,  the  eld- 
est son  of  John  Howard  Harris,  president 
of  Bucknell  from  1889  to  1919,  died  sud- 
denly at  his  home  in  Scranton  on  Septem- 
ber 10.  He  was  78  and  had  been  in  ill 
health  for  several  years. 

Graduated  from  Bucknell  Academy,  in 
1892,  he  received  his  bachelor's  degree 
from  the  University  in  1896  and  his  mas- 
ter's degree  in  1897.  After  serving  in 
the  Spanish-American  War,  he  graduated 
from  the  George  Washington  University 
Law  School.  Associated  with  the  law 
firm  of  O'Malley,  Hill,  Harris  and  Harris 
in  Scranton,  he  retired  several  years  ago 
because  of  ill  health. 

Four  of  the  Harris  brothers  have  been 
practicing  attorneys  at  the  same  time  and 
three  of  them  were  members  of  the 
Lackawanna  Bar  Association.  Attorney 
Herbert  F.  Harris'  work  as  a  lawyer 
was  largely  on  the  civil  side.  As  council 
for  the  Pennsylvania  Coal  Company,  Mr. 
Harris  occupied  a  place  of  unique  promi- 
nence in  his  field.  In  a  special  way  he 
had  familiarized  himself  with  laws  refer- 
ring to  mining  and  not  a  few  members 
of  the  Bar  looked  upon  him  as  an  authority 
in  such  matters.  He  was  a  friendly,  quiet 
man  and  was  held  in  high  regard  by  his 
associates  in  the  law,  as  well  as  by  all 
privileged  to  know  him.  He  will  be  sadly 
missed  by  his  family  and  his  large  circle 
of  friends. 

Surviving  Mr.  Harris  are  his  wife,  the 
former  Mable  Sharpless  of  Philadelphia;  a 
sister,  Dr.  Mary  B.  Harris  '94,  Lewisburg; 
and  four  brothers:  Reese  H.  '03,  Scranton; 
Dr.  Coleman  J.  '12,  Charleston,  West 
Virginia;  James  P.  '12,  Wilkes-Barre;  and 
Stanley  N.  '18,  Pittsburgh. 


Decker  '27  Lost  in  Air  Crash 

Dr.  Ernest  B.  Decker  '27  and  his  wife 
were  aboard  a  Royal  Dutch  KLM  airliner 
that  crashed  into  the  North  Sea  off  the 
Dutch  coast  on  August  23.  Enroute  from 
New  York  to  Amsterdam,  the  plane  was 
only  ten  minutes  from  its  goal  when  the 
disaster  occurred.  Nothing  has  been 
heard  since.  Twelve  of  the  twenty-nine 
passengers  were  Americans.  The  plane's 
crew  numbered  nine. 

Dr.  and  Mrs.  Decker  had  resided  in 
Daytona  Beach,  Fla.,  where  he  was  a 
practicing  eye,  ear,  nose,  and  throat  spe- 
cialist.    The  couple  had  no  children. 


Roop  '45  to  Memphis 


Nagro  '17  Awarded  Degree 

Constantino  F.  Nagro  '17  was  awarded 
the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Music  Education 
from  Chicago  Musical  College  last  June. 
He  came  to  Bucknell  in  1915  as  a  protege 
of  Dr.  Paul  G.  Stolz,  former  head  of  the 
department  of  music.  He  was  awarded 
a  teacher's  diploma  in  Violin  and  Theory 
in  1917  and  continued  as  a  post-graduate 
student  until  1919,  leaving  Bucknell  to 
teach  music  at  Albright  College,  Reading. 
He  returned  to  the  campus  for  two  years 
in  1946  as  an  assistant  professor  of  music. 

Since  leaving  Bucknell,  Dr.  Nagro  was 
manager  of  the  Violin  Department  of  the 
Rudolph  Wurlitzer  Company  in  Chicago 
until  his  recent  appointment  to  the  posi- 
tion of  director  of  music  in  the  Roselle 
(Illinois)   schools. 

Now  residing  in  Roselle,  the  Nagros 
have  a  daughter  Carolyn  Jane  (now  Mrs. 
Robert  E.  Lowum)  who  graduated  from 
Bucknell  in  1943. 


Manker 


Receives  Bronze  Star 


Colonel  C.  U.  Knaub  awarding  Bronze  Star  to  Major  Raymond  O.  Manker  '40 

Major  Raymond  O.  Manker  '40  was  awarded  last  August  the  Bronze  Star  for 
his  fine  work  from  July  28,  1953  to  June  30,  1954  when  he  was  personnel  officer  and 
assistant  adjutant  general  of  the  Prisoner  of  War  Command  headquarters  and  later,  a 
member  of  the  personnel  section  of  the  Korean  Communications  Zone  headquarters. 

Ray  has  been  connected  with  the  U.  S.  Army  for  thirteen  of  the  fourteen  years 
since  his  graduation.     He  hopes  to  make  the  army  his  career. 

Expected  home  in  November,  Ray  lives  with  his  wife  and  three  children  at  1 
Curry  Lane,  Brookside  Park,  Newark,  Delaware.

DANIEL,  M.  ROOP  '45 

Dan  Roop,  a  graduate  of  civil  engineer- 
ing in  1945,  has  accepted  a  position  as  Ad- 
ministrative Engineer  of  the  Baptist  Me- 
morial Hospital,  Memphis,  Tennessee,  be- 
ginning January  1,  1955.  The  Baptist  Me- 
morial Hospital  is  the  largest  private  in- 
stitution of  its  kind  in  the  South.  At  the 
close  of  its  present  $6,000,000  expansion 
program  the  bed  capacity  will  be  1,000. 
In  his  new  position  Mr.  Roop  will  be  re- 
sponsible for  the  complete  physical  plant 
through  executive  planning,  delegation, 
supervision  and  inspection,  and  will  also 
serve  on  the  School  of  Nursing  faculty. 

After  Navy  service  in  World  War  II, 
Dan  became  plant  engineer  at  the  New 
England  Medical  Center  in  Boston  and  in 
1952  was  appointed  as  chief  engineer  at 
the  Geisinger  Memorial  Hospital  in  Dan- 
ville. 

A  member  of  Phi  Kappa  Psi  Fraternity, 
he  has  always  been  an  active  and  interested 
worker  in  Alumni  affairs — serving  as  an 
officer  of  the  Boston  Alumni  Club.  More 
recently  he  served  a  3  j'ear  term  as  a 
member  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
General  Alumni  Association,  and  in  1953 
was  elected  a  vice  president  of  the  Alumni 
group. 

Although  somewhat  farther  removed 
from  the  campus  in  his  new  assignment, 
we  are  sure  that  Dan  and  his  wife,  the 
former  Dorothy  Danenhower  '46,  and 
their  family  will  promote  Bucknell  active- 
ly in  Memphis.  Let's  have  an  early  meet- 
ing of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of  Mem- 
phis, Dan. 


It  Happened  Here 

Thirty  Years  Ago — 1924 

Cheering  undergraduates,  although  con- 
tributing $50,000  toward  our  stadium,  had 
to  occupy  the  seats  extending  from  the 
twenty  yard  line.  Well,  it  looks  as  though 
we  at  Bucknell  have  broken  a  one-time 
precedent  on  the  300  acres.

WHAT  IS  THE  ALUMNI   FUND? 

The  plan  for  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  is  simple.  Alumni  dues  and 
magazine  subscriptions  hove  been  discontinued.  Every  alumnus  and  friend 
of  Bucknell  is  invited  to  contribute  annually  to  the  University  for  current 
operations.  Each  person  contributing,  no  matter  what  the  amount,  will  be 
listed  as  a  donor  in  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS. 

The  amount  contributed  to  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  clone  this  past 
year  equals  the  return  on  more  than  $700,000  of  invested  endowment. 
By  their  increasing  support  of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund,  alumni  and  friends 
con  moke  it  more  and  more  a  substantial  "living  endowment."

CLASS  REPORTS 


CLASS  OF  1890 

Class  Reporter:  DR.  JOHN  I.  WOODRUFF 
Selinsgrove,  Pa. 
Of  all  the  modem  allergies 
I  finally  found  my  ovm. 
"lis  not  the  wild-eyed  daisy 
Nor  any  plant  that's  grown: 
'Tis  not  a  thing  thrust  on  me: 
Or  some  other  curious  quirk. 
"Tis    a  plain   old-fashioned   something 
That  prosaic  men  call  work. 

— John  I.  Woodruff. 

Dr.  John  I.  Woodruff  was  recently 
given  recognition  by  the  Pennsylvania 
German  Folklore  Society  for  being  the 
originator  of  the  "Fersommlinge"  or 
Pennsylvania  German  gatherings,  the 
first  of  which  was  held  in  Selinsgrove 
in  1933. 

CLASS  OF  1897 

Class  Reporter:  DR.  ROMEYN  H.  RHTENBURG 
10  Main  St.,  CUfEord.  Pa. 

John  M.  Gundy  was  elected  president 
of  the  Lewisburg  Trust  &  Safe  Deposit 
Company  last  August  to  complete  the 
term  of  the  late  Daniel  F.  Green,  who 
died  on  August  5.  Mr.  Green  had  been 
president  of  the  bank  since  1924. 

CLASS  OF  1901 

Class  Reporter:    J.  C.  HIGGINS 
106  S.  Fourth  St.,  Lewisburg.  Pa. 

At  the  25th  anniversary  dinner  of  the 
Camden  Countj^  Branch  of  the  Ameri- 
can Association  of  University  Women 
Ln  Camden,  N.  J.  in  June,  it  was  an- 
nounced that  their  1955  international 
study  grant  would  be  named  in  honor 
of  Dr.  Mabel  Grier  Lesher,  a  charter 
member,  in  recognition  of  her  pioneer 
work  in  social  hygiene  education  for 
family  hving  in  the  Camden  pubhc 
schools  and  her  later  extension  of  the 
program  to  state  and  national  scope. 

Her  1901  classmates  and  friends  will 
be  interested  to  learn  that  her  activi- 
ties in  the  Camden  Branch,  together 
with  other  B.  U.  members,  materially 
aided  in  gaining  recognition  of  Buck- 
nell's  qualifications  and  subsequent  en- 
dorsement by  the  National  Board  in 
Washington  for  organization  of  the  Sus- 
quehanna Valley  Branch  in  Lewisburg. 

Dr.  Frank  Anderson  recently  sent  his 
regards;  says  he's  passed  his  78th  birth- 
day and  is  in  good  health.  He's  been 
acting  as  interim  pastor  of  the  Mt.  Ver- 
non Baptist  Church,  Mt.  Vernon,  Ark. 

John  S.  Stephens  made  a  plane  trip 
east  and  while  he  didn't  visit  the  cam- 
pus, he  was  able  to  visit  with  his  sisters, 
Mrs.  Gertrude  Stephens  Downs  '99,  Mrs. 
Ruth  Stephens  Porter  '05.  While  in  Flor- 
ida he  also  visited  Dr.  J.  Earle  Edwards 
'10  who  had  been  pastor  at  St.  John's 
Church  in  Palo  Alto,  Calif.,  before  re- 
tiring to  Florida.

news  of  your  activities,  vacation  expe- 
riences, families,  etc. 

Non-letter  writing  seems  to  have 
been  the  rule  this  summer;  your  re- 
porter falls  into  that  category  along 
with  other  members  of  the  class.  Shall 
we  all  try  to  remedy  this  situation  in 
the  following  months,  and  give  a  little 
news  of  ourselves  to  interested  readers. 

Regretfully,  we  report  the  death  of 
Joseph  E.  Glaspey  in  April.  He  had  not 
been  able  to  attend  our  reunion  last 
year  because  of  illness.  Mr.  Glaspey, 
of  Slippery  Rock,  is  survived  by  his 
wife,  and  two  children.

Harry  Bibby  heads  a  true  Bucknell 
family.  His  two  daughters,  Ella  B.  '32, 
and  Ethel  L.  '30  and  a  son-in-law  War- 
ren C.  Evans  '34  are  all  Bucknellians. 

Billy  Kieffer,  after  attending  the  class 
reunion  at  Lafayette,  came  on  to  Lew- 
isburg bringing  his  good  wife  and  at- 
tended commencement  exercises. 

Louis  W.  Robey  was  awarded  the 
honorary  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws  by 
Alderson-Broaddus  College,  Phillip,  W. 
Va.  in  May,  in  recognition  of  his  out- 
standing service  to  education.  Dr.  Ro- 
bey, a  vice  president  and  director  of 
Marts  and  Lundy,  Inc.  has,  since  April 
1,  been  in  charge  of  the  new  Phila- 
delphia office  of  that  firm.  This  new 
honor  is  one  of  a  long  record  of  salu- 
tations Dr.  Robey  has  earned  in  rec- 
ognition of  his  outstanding  service  for 
American  Baptists.  He  served  as  a 
Trustee  of  Bucknell  University  from 
1920  to   1930. 

We  are  happy  to  report  that  Dave 
Robinson  has  safely  arrived  at  his  home 
in  Florida  after  an  enforced  sojourn 
in  a  Portsmouth,  N.  H.  hospital.  Dave 
was  stricken  while  on  a  vacation  trip 
following  our  June  reunion. 

Mrs.  Alma  T.  Moore  advises  that  her 
father  Orestes  C.  Thomas  passed  away 
September  12th,  1948. 

Charles  E.  Yost  passed  away  Febru- 
ary 15th  at  Bellflower,  Calif. 

David  W.  Thomas  has  been  practicing 
law  at  Minden,  La.  for  many  years. 
Dave  served  a  term  as  mayor  of  the

Miles  Timlin  died  September  1  at  his 
home  in  Lansdowne  at  the  age  of  82. 
He  was  a  math  teacher  for  many  years 
and  had  retired  from  teaching  about  15 
years  ago.  He  is  survived  by  his  wife 
and  three  children.  The  sympathy  of 
the  class  is  extended.

Elkanah  Hulley  spent  last  winter  in 
Florida  rebuilding  the  Stetson  Univer- 
sity Law  School.  It  will  be  remem- 
bered that  Elkanah  has  a  long-time 
family  connection  with  Stetson.  His 
uncle,  Lincoln  Hulley,  who  had  been 
one  of  the  most  popular  professors  at 
Bucknell,  left  Lewisburg  just  as  we 
entered  college  to  become  president  of 


Stetson,  where  he  did  a  remarkable 
job  of  iDuilding  the  university.  So  nat- 
urally Elkanah,  who  is  a  Stetson  trus- 
tee, has  to  divide  his  loyalty  between 
the  two  universities. 

All  of  us  will  feel  the  deepest  sym- 
pathy for  classmate  Bill  Kelly  and  Mrs. 
Kelly  (Sara  Meyer  '09)  in  the  shocking 
death  of  their  daughter  in  an  auto  ac- 
cident in  the  late  spring. 

The  Old  Man  with  the  Hourglass  has 
struck  our  ranks  again.  Charles  C. 
Wagner  died  at  his  home  in  Hammond, 
Ind.,  on  February  9.  Wag  was  one  of 
the  most  active  men  in  our  class;  in 
addition  to  his  carrying  on  the  "tough" 
chemistry  specialization,  he  was  one  of 
our  few  athletes,  being  a  football  and 
basketball  star.  For  twenty  years  after 
graduation  he  was  professor  of  chemis- 
try and  physics  and  director  of  men's 
athletics  at  Madison,  (S.  D.)  Normal 
School,  which  later  became  General 
Beadle  State  Teachers  College.  For 
some  fifteen  years  he  was  in  the  oil 
business.  When  the  Federal  Housing 
Administration  was  established,  he  was 
appointed  State  Director  of  Moderniza- 
tion Credits.  In  1940  he  moved  to  the 
Chicago  area.  Here  he  was  a  chemist 
with  the  Sinclair  Refining  Company  of 
East  Chicago,  Ind.,  a  consultant  to  the 
Sanitary  District  of  the  City  of  Chi- 
cago, and  special  instructor  in  the  in- 
dustrial chemistry  department  of  Pur- 
due University. 

He  is  survived  by  his  widow,  Mrs. 
Eldred  L.  Wagner,  839  175th  Place, 
Hammond,  his  children,  Lawrence  Wag- 
ner, an  investment  banker  in  Chicago, 
Mrs.  Eldred  Dunn  of  Sioux  Falls,  S.  D., 
Theodore  F.  Wagner,  commissioned 
from  West  Point,  now  an  engineer  with 
Union  Carbon  and  Carbide  at  the  AEC 
plant  at  Oak  Ridge,  and  Paul  Wagner, 
the  youngest  son,  a  World  War  veteran 
decorated  for  bravery  in  action.  Mrs. 
Bertha  Wagner  Colestock,  widow  of 
the  late  Dr.  Henry  T.  Colestock,  is  a 
sister.  We  all  join  in  our  feeling  of 
sympathy  for  the  family  of  this  fine 
classmate. 

If  any  of  you  have  a  1744  Dos  Mun- 
dos  pillar  dollar,  you  make  take  it 
from  Gilbert  Perez  that  you  have  a  rare 
item.  In  his  recent  article  (March 
1954)  in  the  Philippine  Numismatic 
Monographs  No.  10.  entitled  "Foreign 
Coins  Related  to  Philippine  History" 
he  discusses  the  Chilean,  Colombian, 
Mexican  and  Peruvian  coins  to  be 
found  in  the  Philippines,  as  well  as 
the  U.  S.  coins  later  imported.  The 
U.  S.  1901  half-dollars  are  also  rare; 
Dr.  Perez  assumes  they  were  later  sold 
to  India  with  the  1906-s  pesos  by  the 
Philippine  government.  If  you  are  a 
numismatist,  you  may  hazard  a  guess 
on  this.     No  others  need  apply. 

For  the  third  time  George  Riggs  has 
been  invited  to  revisit  Puerto  Rico,  all 
expenses  paid,  for  the  annual  meeting 
of  the  churches  in  February.  This  is 
a  well  deserved  tribute  to  George  for 
the  many  years  he  devoted  to  religious 
work  on  the  island.  When  at  home,  he 
and  Margaret  are  still  in  Northumber- 
land. 

Mary  Stanton  Speichcr  sends  word  of 
the  death  of  Paul  Levan  Knorr,  whom 
some  will  remember  as  having  been 
briefly  a  member  of  our  class.  He  was 
a  retired  wholesale  and  retail  shoe  deal- 
er in  Reading,  a  member  of  the  Univer- 
salist  Church,  the  American  Humanist 
Association,  the  Travelers  Protective 
Association,  and  the  Reading  High 
School  Alumni.

Mary  takes  due  pride  in  the  showing 
of  our  class  in  the  Alumni  Fund  gifts. 
As  we  all  approach  retirement,  or  actu- 
ally arrive  at  that  point,  we  realize  the 
fact,  which  she  emphasizes,  that  pen- 
sions are  inadequate;  but  however  small 
the  gift,  let's  keep  up  the  record.  Mary 
has  received  word  from  Buck  Shott 
that  forty  of  our  dwindling  members 
contributed  this  year.  That  is  a  re- 
markable story!  Several  gifts  were  In 
Memoriam.  That  too  is  significant,  not 
merely  of  our  loyalty,  but  of  the  fact 
that  those  left  behind  remember  us 
when  we  have  moved  on  to  our  reward.

Charles  E.  Hilbish  and  his  family 
took  an  extended  trip  to  the  Western 
U.  S.  and  into  Mexico  last  summer. 
Charles  had  just  retired  from  the  posi- 
tion of  superintendent  of  the  Northum- 
berland County  Schools. 

Percy  Shade  died  on  September  4.  He 
was  a  retired  farmer.  Also,  he  organ- 
ized the  Mifflinburg  Farmers  Supply, 
which  he  operated  as  an  implement 
agency  until  six  years  before  his  death. 
A  native  of  Danville,  he  was  a  resident 
of  Mifflinburg  most  of  his  life.  He  is 
survived  by  his  wife  and  several  sis- 
ters and  brothers. 

Leonora  Shamp  Crosby  answered  the 
summons  March  10,  1953.  We  are  sor- 
ry that  we  did  not  know  to  report  this 
death  earlier  but  we  learned  of  it  only 
last  July  when  we  called  at  her  former 
hoine  in  Falconer,  N.  Y.

When  I  received  my  ALUMNUS  in 
Sept.  I  was  somewhat  startled.  I  didn't 
know  what  had  happened  to  the  rest 
of  my  report.  Soon  a  letter  came  from 
"Buck"  saying  an  editor  could  get  "ul- 
cers" from  all  the  worries  in  trying  to 
print  all  the  news  with  so  little  space. 
Then  he  informed  me  that  the  rest 
would  appear  in  the  November  issue. 
If  it  is  stale  just  blame  it  on  him. 

This  year  1954  commemorates  the 
golden  anniversary  of  the  Delta  Theta 
Upsilon  fraternity  on  the  campus  at 
Bucknell.  They  merged  with  Sigma 
Chi  37  years  ago.  Some  of  the  fellows 
did  not  join  us  as  they  had  gone  on  to 
medical,  law,  and  dental  schools  and 
became  members  of  different  national 
fraternities.  So  a  group  of  the  old 
fellows  decided  it  would  be  fun  to  have 
a  "get  to-gether",  renew  acquaintances, 
live  over  the  memories  of  their  frater- 
nity days  at  Bucknell.  This  was  planned 
for  alumni  day.  After  the  luncheon  a 
bull  session  was  arranged  at  3  o'clock 
at  Hunt  House.  Frank  Hean,  acting 
chairman  and  inaster  of  cereinonies 
presided.  A  bull  session  with  a  big 
"B."  All  the  fellows  talked  and  but- 
ted in  at  the  same  time.  The  women 
folks  were  really  ladies.  Finally  order 
was  restored,  letters  and  telegrams 
were  read  from  nnembers  unable  to  be 
present.  Then  the  fellows  told  "all 
they  laiew"  since  graduation,  where 
they  lived,  kind  of  position,  married 
or  single,  number  of  children  and 
grandchildren.  It  was  decided  to  meet 
next  year  on  alumni  day  for  breakfast 
at  9:30.  This  way  they  could  enjoy 
a  session  without  interfering  with  the 
luncheon,  class  reunions,  and  symposia. 
At  6  o'clock  we  drove  to  Milton  to  have 
dirjier  at  the  Elks  Club.    A  wonderful 

20 


dinner!     A  wonderful  day!  A  wonder- 
ful time! 

The  following  old  D.  T.  U.'s  were 
present:  Dr.  Frank  Simpson  '95,  Lew- 
isburg;  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Carl  Millward  '06, 
Milton;  Chauncey  E.  Brockway  '07, 
Sharon;  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Roy  Mikle  '10, 
Harrisburg;  "Spider"  Case  '10,  Troy; 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  George  Street  '10,  Phila- 
delphia; Mr.  and  Mrs.  Leslie  Crowell 
'11,  Wanamassa,  N.  J.;  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Frank  Hean  '12,  Harrisburg;  Rip  Ruth 
'12,  Malvern;  Mr.  and  Mrs.  A.  C.  Conner 
'12,  Ardmore;  "Sal"  Fisher  '13,  Read- 
ing; Elmer  Fairchild  '13,  Milton;  Bob 
Everall  '14,  Sharon;  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Tom 
Williams  '15,  Glenside;  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Stanley  Reitz  '14,  Lewisburg;  Lester 
Houser  '20,  Lewistown;  Willard  Lewis 
'20,  Cormelsville;  Stanford  Kunkle  '21, 
Lewisburg. 

I  suppose  a  great  many  of  you  are 
wondering  how  I  know  so  much  about 
this  affair.  When  the  notices  were  sent 
out  the  wives,  sweethearts,  children, 
and  other  assorted  relatives  were  in- 
vited. Pop  and  I  were  placed  in  the 
category  of  "assorted  relatives."  We 
did  have  two  sweethearts  in  the  group 
— old  "Fusser"  Crowell,  as  the  boys 
called  him,  had  been  married  four  years 
and  was  still  honeymooning.  Then 
George  Street  after  all  these  years  has 
been  married  just  eight  years.  Both 
of  these  are  the  first  marriages.  The 
other  wives  were  the  average  "run  of 
the  mill",  cooks,  dish  washers  and  baby 
sitters. 

Girls,  do  you  remember  the  old  D. 
T.  U.  house?  It  almost  sat  on  the  side- 
walk where  we  passed  to  go  to  the  Sem. 
It  was  most  embarassing  at  times.  We 
had  no  other  way  to  reach  the  Sem  ex- 
cept around  faculty  and  that  was  much 
too  long  if  we  had  stayed  down  town 
till  the  last  minute.  There  was  no 
sidewalk  on  the  other  side  of  the 
street.  After  we  passed  you  could  hear 
suppressed  giggles  and  snickers — well, 
we  never  knew  "what  was  showing" 
but  we  did  know  remarks  were  being 
passed. 

When  I  get  tired  of  looking  at  the 
same  person,  also  fed  up  with  my  own 
food,  I  get  itchy  feet  and  want  to  go 
somewhere.  So  Sunday  we  made  the 
long  promised  trip  to  Harrisburg. 
Stopped  at  the  Heans,  picked  up  our 
son.  Bill,  met  the  Mikles,  had  dinner. 
Then  we  went  to  their  home  to  spend 
the  afternoon.  Remember  in  one  of 
my  reports  I  said  that  Roy  Mikle  '10 
had  a  hobby  —  he's  a  hybridizer  of 
"glads"  and  iris.  This  is  the  season  for 
"glads."  Well,  I  never  saw  such  a 
gorgeous  display  of  blooms.  Roy  is 
an  originator  of  new  varieties.  He 
grows  these  from  seed  sometimes  hav- 
ing 10,000  and  20,000  seedlings  in  one 
season.  He  already  has  three  "glads" 
on  the  market — Susan,  the  Harrisburg- 
er,  and  Valencia.  He  and  Renie  are  so 
modest  they  won't  tell  you  much,  yet 
they  attend  the  flower  shows  in  many 
places  and  come  home  with  any  number 
of  blue  ribbons  and  various  awards. 
It  takes  time  to  produce  such  a  display 
planting,  fertilizing,  cultivating,  heaps 
of  patience,  plenty  of  sunshine  and  rain 
thrown  in.  I  would  just  sum  it  up  in 
these  words,  "God's  in  His  Heaven, 
all's  right  with  the  world." 

Mary  Louise  Blackburn,  daughter  of 
Dr.  and  Mrs.  Norris  Blackburn,  State 
College  and  James  H.  Bartholomew, 
son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Earl  Bartholomew 
'12,  1019  Market  St.,  Wilhamsport,  were 
married  Saturday,  August  14  in  the 
First  Methodist  Church,  Vancouver, 
Wash.     They  will  reside  in  Portland, 


Ore.    where    he    is    employed    by    the 
U.  S.  Forest  Service. 

"It  is  one  of  those  days  in  which 
the  world  seems  too  good  to  be  true,  a 
day  we  feel  'this  day  can  never  come 
again.'  It  is  like  walking  through  the 
Twenty-third  Psalm."

George  T.  Grove,  325  W.  Alameda, 
Tucson,  Arizona,  formerly  associated 
with  Headman,  Ferguson  &  Carollo,  is 
now  director  of  public  works  for  the 
city  of  Tucson. 

Recently  we  received  a  letter  from 
Bertha  Pfleegor  Grove  r09,  a  classmate 
of  your  reporter.  Bertha's  letter  brought 
us  up-to-date  on  the  Grove  family. 
George  is  enjoying  his  present  work  for 
the  city  of  Tucson,  finding  it  pleasant 
change  from  traveling  constantly  and 
living  in  hotels.  George,  Jr.  is  a  civil 
engineer  with  Peter  Kewitt  Construc- 
tion Co.  (The  company  building  the 
atomic  plant  at  Portsmouth,  O.)  He 
is  married  and  has  three  children.  Bob 
is  a  mechanical  engineer  doing  atomic 
research  for  a  firm  in  Phoenix,  Ariz. 
He  is  married  and  has  one  son.  Betty, 
with  her  husband  and  their  daughter, 
lives  on  their  cotton  farm  in  southern 
California.  George,  Jr.,  Bob,  and  Bet- 
ty are  graduates  of  the  University  of 
Arizona. 

Henry  G.  Kuyl  retired  on  April  30 
as  chief  engineer  of  the  Board  of  En- 
gineers for  Rivers  and  Harbors,  De- 
partment of  the  Army,  with  headquar- 
ters in  Washington,  D.  C.  Mr.  Kuyl's 
work  with  the  department  began  in 
1926,  when  he  was  employed  by  the 
District  Engineer,  Chattanooga,  'Tenn., 
as  hydrolectric  engineer  on  the  com- 
prehensive survey  for  improvement  of 
the  Tennessee  River  for  power  navi- 
gation and  flood  control.  In  1929  he 
was  transferred  to  the  board  and  be- 
came chief  engineer  in  1942.  Hats  off 
to  Henry,  who  has  been  giving  a  check 
to  the  Alumni  Fund  equal  to  the  amount 
given  by  the  rest  of  us  '14ers.  It  is 
of  interest  to  learn  that  we  rank  ninth 
among  the  classes  from  1886  to  1954 
in  our  contributions  to  the  Fund. 

In  the  accumulation  of  mail  upon  re- 
turn from  vacation  is  the  reminder  that 
news  is  due  October  7.  It  is  difficult 
to  come  down  to  earth  after  a  6,661 
mile  auto  trip.  Our  itinerary  included 
many  interesting  highlights  which  fall 
into  place  in  retrospect. 

The  Dakota  Badlands  were  magni- 
ficent even  in  103  heat.  The  size  of 
Mt.  Rushmore  impressed  us  by  the 
particular  fact  that  a  grown  man  can 
stand  upright  in  Lincoln's  eye.  Still 
far  from  the  West  Coast,  we  overheard 
a  citizen  of  Sheridan,  Wyoming,  ask  a 
little  girl  teasingly  if  she  had  come 
from  "way  back  east — Illinois  or  Iowa?" 

In  Hardin,  Montana,  Harry  visited  an 
elementary  school  whose  enrollment 
was  one-third  Indian  children.  We 
drove  for  hours  through  the  wide  open 
spaces  of  Montana,  meeting  no  one 
and  seeing  only  herds  of  cattle.  We 
spent  the  Labor  Day  weekend  at  beau- 
tiful Gracier  National  Park. 

NOVEMBER    1934 


From  the  park  we  drove  through 
Washington,  Oregon  and  on  to  Cahfor- 
nia.  At  Crescent  City  we  had  our  fu'st 
glimpse  of  the  Pacific  Ocean,  and  our 
trip  from  the  Cahfornia  border  to  San 
Francisco  was  over  the  beautiful  Red- 
wood Highway. 

Bucknellians  of  the  mid-twenties 
will  remember  Kathrvn  Glase  '25,  now 
Mrs.  T.  A.  Hines.  With  Kathryn  as 
guide,  we  toured  the  city;  Chinatown, 
Fishermen's  Wharf  (on  the  unique  ca- 
blecars).  the  smart  shops,  and  the  Top 
of  the  Mark.  She  and  Tom  live  at  1380 
Taylor  St.,  and  the  view  from  their 
rooftop  terrace  is  almost  as  magnifi- 
cent as  that  from  the  Top  of  the  Mark. 

From  there  we  headed  East,  through 
Dormer  Pass  in  the  Sierras  to  Nevada. 
We  passed  through  the  Great  Salt  Des- 
ert of  Utah  and  on  to  Wj'oming,  driv- 
ing at  7.000  feet  altitude  with  a  view 
of  snowtopped  mountains  and  herds  of 
antelope.

CLASS  OF  1934 

Class  Reporter:   MRS.  WILLIAM  S.  LIMING 

(RuUi  Rohrt 
396  Andrews  Road.  East  WiUistoc,  L.  I.,  N.  Y. 

Hi  to  all  the  loyal  members  of  our 
class  who  journeyed  back  to  Lewis- 
burg  on  June  12.  The  weather  was 
perfect  and  I  know  you  all  enjoyed 
your  \dsit  on  our  beautiful  campus.  We 
missed  those  of  you  who  weren't 
there.  The  reminiscing  was  really  fun. 
The  changes  during  these  next  five 
years  will  be  many  and  that  25th  Re- 
union will  be  interesting  to  say  the 
least,  so  remember  '59  when  we  should 
have  a  bang-up  time  under  the  chair- 
manship of  Sherb  Walker  and  Harry 
Fithian  who  agreed  to  work  on  our 
Silver  Reunion. 

Our  Reunion  report  ^vas  prepared 
by  our  new  Class  Secretary  so  I  thought 
I'd  tell  you  about  our  Class  Officers 
elected  at  our  Reunion  meeting  in  the 
EUen  Clarke  Bertrand  Librarj'. 

Our  class  prexj-  Edward  C.  Myers, 
1236  MurrayhiU  Ave.,  Pittsburgh  17, 
was  re-elected.  Eddie  couldn't  be  with 
us  because  of  the  Steel  Negotiations 
but  his  duties  were  turned  over  to  San- 
ford  Barcus  who  did  a  reaUy  fine  job 
— more  of  Sparks  later.  Eddie  is  now 
assistant  vice  president — industrial  re- 
lations for  the  United  States  Steel  Cor- 
poration. He  married  Edna  Cleckner 
'33  and  they  have  two  daughters  Wen- 
dy Ann,  12,  and  Sandra  Sue,  8.  Eddie 
attended  Harvard  Graduate  School 
where  he  took  the  advanced  manage- 
ment program.  He's  a  member  of  the 
Universitj'  Club,  Longue  Vue  Country 
Club  and  American  Iron  and  Steel  In- 
stitute. He's  also  an  active  layman  of 
the  Shadyside  Presbyterian  Church. 
His  hobbies  are  golf,  reading,  and 
sports  (spectator). 

Sherburne  Walker  was  elected  vice 
president  and  he  lives  at  2  Severn  Ave- 
nue, Annapolis,  Md.  Sherb  was  the 
first  member  of  our  class  to  reach  Lew- 
isburg  for  the  reunion.  He  is  regional 
sales  manager  for  Eversharp  Inc. 
Sherb's  still  single  and  I  can't  imagine 
how  he  stays  that  way  cause  he's  as 
handsome  as  ever  and  hasn't  gained  an 
ounce  nor  lost  his  hair!  He  was  a 
major  in  the  Marine  Corps  during 
World  War  II  and  at  present  is  active 
in  the  Shrine,  Sons  of  the  American 
Revolution,  Annapolis  Yacht  Club  and 
the  Boston  University  Club.  His  hob- 
bies are  sailing  and  gardening.  You'll 
hear  from  him  since  he'll  be  planning 
that  reunion  in  '59. 

Our  class  secretary,  a  truly  busy 
lady,  is  Marie  Steinbach  Fox  (Mrs.  J. 
Leland  Fox)  of  Pennsylvania  Avenue, 
Seaford,  Delaware  ("the  Nylon  Center 
of  the  World,"  says  Marie).  Marie  is 
as  charming  and  attractive  as  ever  and 
married  to  a  prominent  Seaford  physi- 
cian and  the  mother  of  Jackson  Jr.,  15, 
and  Fredericka,  12.  The  latter  accom- 
panied her  mother  to  our  reunion  and 
I  think  she's  following  in  her  mother's 
footsteps.  Jackson  Jr.  was  unable  to 
come  as  he  was  participating  in  a  State 
Golf  Tournament.  Marie  is  a  member 
of  the  Seaford  School  Board,  Seaford 
Planning  Commission  and  area  chair- 
man for  the  Red  Cross.  She's  past  state 
president  of  the  Women's  Auxiliary  of 
the  state  Medical  Society  as  well  as 
past  .state  chairman  of  the  Delaware 
A.  A.  U.  W.  She's  also  active  in  Boy 
Scout  and  Girl  Scout  affairs.  Gef.  I 
forgot  to  ask  her  how  she  does  it  all. 

Our  ela.s.H  treasurer  is  Rev.  Vincent 
Wayland,  Lakcville,  N.  Y.  Vince  i.s  a 
CoHKregational  clergyman  and  hasn't 
lost  any  of  his  pep.    I  had  a  really  cn- 

NOVKMBEK    |gs« 


joy  able  visit  with  the  Way  lands  at  the 
Phi  Gam  house.  Mrs.  Wayland  is  a 
friendly,  charming  lady  and  the  busy 
mother  of  Vincent  Jr.,  13,  Cheryl  Lynn, 
9,  and  Kerry,  1.  I  am  sure  she's  an 
ideal  minister's  wife  and  a  great  help 
to  Vince.  Vince  got  his  B.D.  at  Col- 
gate-Rochester Divinity  School.  He's 
an  active  Mason,  Rotarian  and  in  Kap- 
pa Phi  Kappa. 

Our  new  Class  Fund  Manager  is 
Frank  E.  Gerlitz,  Jr.,  164  Friendship 
Road,  Drexel  Hill,  Penna.  Feg  is  gen- 
eral sales  manager  of  Simplex  Valve 
and  Meter  Co.  He  has  a  son  Frank  E. 
Ill,  6,  and  a  daughter  Linda  Ann,  3. 
Feg  is  still  an  extra-curricular  guy!  He 
is  active  in  Philadelphia  Engineers, 
American  Society  of  Civil  Engineers, 
A.  W.  W.  A.,  E.  S.  I.  W.  A.,  Masons  and 
Benjamin  Franklin  Society.  He's  also 
vice  president  of  the  Men's  Club  in  the 
local  Methodist  Church.  You'll  co-op- 
erate with  Frank  I'm  sure  when  you 
hear  from  him  about  our  wonderful 
Alumni  Fund. 

Yours  truly  remains  as  Class  Report- 
er. I  am  the  proud  wife  of  our  new 
General  Alumni  Association  President, 
Bill  Liming  '33,  and  the  mother  of  Ruth 
Gail,  11  (her  birthday  was  Reunion 
day  June  12)  and  Robert  Geoffrey,  71/2. 
I  am  kept  busy  as  a  housewife  in  our 
small  suburban  village.  I  belong  to 
the  Women's  Club  of  the  Williston's, 
A.  A.  U.  W.,  Community  Church  Coup- 
les Club,  P.  T.  A.  Executive  Board, 
Williston  Home  Bureau,  Bucknell  Club 
of  Long  Island,  and  am  publicity  direc- 
tor of  our  Girl  Scout  Council.  I  teach 
Sunday  School  and  am  Leader  of  our 
Church  Summer  School  primary  de- 
partment. Our  youngsters  enjoyed  the 
reunion  and  were  as  surprised  as  the 
'34  reunioners  to  hear  their  Dad's  name 
announced  at  the  Alumni  Luncheon  as 
the  new  Alumni  President  and  to  meet 
Charles  Sanders  '13,  my  beloved  high 
school  English  teacher,  who  convinced 
my  parents  that  Bucknell  was  the  ideal 
college  for  me — it  truly  was,  for  as  we'll 
as  a  fine  education,  I  found  a  Bucknell 
husband  and  we've  had  18  happy  years 
together  and  we're  lookirg  forward  to 
a  long  association  with  Bucknell — fin- 
gers crossed  that  our  children  will 
some  day  attend  our  favorite  Univer- 
sity. 

Now  you  know  our  class  officers,  per- 
haps you'd  like  the  Reunion  L'Agenda 
that  Walter  Ruch  and  Marie  Steinbach 
Fox  prepared?  It's  really  a  fine  record 
of  our  class  "in  Midpassage."  It  costs 
$1.00  and  can  be  secured  from  Buck 
Shott,  Bucknell  University,  Lewisburg, 
Penna. 

Last  but  not  least,  I  must  express 
thanks  for  all  of  us  to  Sanford  Barcus 
of  1133  Hoffman  Street,  Elmira,  N.  Y. 
who  acted  as  chairman  for  our  Reunion 
Meeting.  He  was  totally  unprepared  as 
I  had  only  learned  late  Friday,  June 
11,  that  Eddie  Myers  couldn't  be  at 
Lewisburg,  but  Sanford  did  a  fine  job 
as  I  knew  he  would.  Sparks  is  manager 
of  television  station  WTVE  in  Elmira. 
His  attractive  wife  Nanette  is  Vassar 
'46  and  the  mother  of  .Steven  Lawrence, 
3,  and  Carolyn  Joanne,  14  months.  I 
am  sure  Nan  enjoyed  meeting  many  of 
Spark's  classmates.  Sparks  was  in  the 
Army  in  World  War  II  and  emerged 
as  a  Lt.  Colonel  after  six  years.  He 
belongs  to  Kalurah  Temple  Shrine, 
Cashmere  Gratto,  Corning  Consistory, 
the  Masons,  American  Legion,  Reserve 
Officers  Association  and  Elmira  Shrine 
Club. 

Now  only  another  wfird — I  find  that 
nf)t  many  of  us  belong  to  local  Alumni 


Clubs  and  I  feel  you  are  all  missing 
something.  If  you'd  like,  drop  me  a 
line  and  I'll  send  you  the  address  of 
your  local  group.  Alumni  Clubs  are 
interesting  and  you'll  be  surprised  to 
renew  friendships  and  enjoy  meeting 
other  Bucknellians.  Why  not  bolster 
that  Bucknell  Spirit  which  is  truly 
something  to  be  proud  of?  Why  not 
make  those  four  years  spent  at  Buck- 
nell come  back  to  life  again;  they  were 
important  then  and  become  cherished 
memories  which  will  stay  alive  when 
you  join  with  other  Bucknellians.

Greetings  to  you  all  again  as  we  start 
another  year.  You  '43ers  probably 
wondered  what  happened  to  me  in  the 
first  issue.  I  was  in  Maine  for  a  vaca- 
tion and  neglected  to  take  my  Alumni 
notes  and  news  along.  I'll  try  to  stay 
on  the  ball  henceforth.

EDITORIAL 


Bison  Bows  to : 

A  new  evidence  of  increased  Alumni 
interest  is  revealed  with  the  announcement 
that  over  two  dozen  Bucknellians  have 
been  suggested  as  nominees  for  the  posi- 
tion of  Alumni  Trustee.  This  is  more 
than  three  times  the  candidate  list  of 
last  year.  Unfortunately,  some  of  the 
best  of  suggested  candidates  have  felt 
that  they  "do  not  choose  to  run"  but  the 
remaining  list  is  an  outstanding  one.  We 
hope  that  when  Alumni  are  given  an 
opportunity  to  vote  for  their  favorite  can- 
didate next  April,  a  new  record  in  ballot- 
ing will  be  established.  Complete  biog- 
raphies of  the  candidates  chosen  will  be 
published  in  the  March  1955  issue  of  THE 
BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS. 


Another  evidence  of  Alumni  activity  in 
local  areas  is  found  in  the  increasing  num- 
ber of  Alumni  who  are  representing  Buck- 
nell at  High  School-College  Night  pro- 
grams in  their  home  towns.  Already  four 
Alumni  Clubs  have  organized  High  School 
Selection  Committees.  There  is  ample 
evidence  that  such  committees,  working 
under  the  guidance  of  George  R.  Faint, 
registrar,  could  perform  a  valuable  ser- 
vice to  the  University. 


The  Doctors-for-Bucknell  project  which 
last  year  specialized  in  assisting  with  the 
re-building  of  Taylor  Hall,  raised  the  per- 
centage of  participation  for  Doctors  to 
26% — well  over  the  18%  reached  for  the 
general  Alumni  group.  The  Doctors  have 
plans  for  other  special  fund  raising  activi- 
ties for  this  year. 


Special  kudos  go  to  the  classes  of  1904 
(Robert  W.  Thompson,  President)  and 
the   Class   of   1929   (Paul   E.  Fink,   Presi- 

26 


dent)  for  outstanding  efforts  which  pro- 
duced special  SO-and-25-year  anniversary 
gifts  to  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund.  Al- 
ready the  Classes  of  1905  and  1930  are 
considering  similar  projects  for  June  1955.

How  Big  Should 
Bucknell  Be? 

With  public  school  enrollment  going 
from  23  millions  (1953-54)  to  25  millions 
in  1958,  high  school  enrollment  going 
from  6.6  millions  to  8.1  millions  by  1958 
and  college  enrollment  scheduled  to  double 
by  1970,  Alumni  should  be  concerned 
about  the  size  of  Bucknell.  Besides  the 
great  need  for  more  elementary  and  sec- 
ondary school  teachers  there  will  be  pres- 
sure to  turn  out  more  engineers,  doctors, 
lawyers,  psychologists,  et  cetera.  How  big 
should  Bucknell  be?  If  you  have  an  opin- 
ion, why  not  write  a  letter  to  the  Editor 
of  THE   BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS.

I  HOPE  THEY  ASK  ME  ABOUT  THE      ^^  74^  ^44«e 


BUCKNELL  ALUMNI  FUND 

By  John  H.  Shott  '22,  Fnwrf  Director 

When  you  get  this  issue  of  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS  your  Fund 
Director  will  be  conferring  with  several  hundred  other  Fund  Directors  of  colleges 
on  the  eastern  seaboard.  I  will  be  happy  to  tell  them  that  the  oustanding  fact  of 
the  1953-1954  Fund  program  at  Bucknell  is  that  Bucknellians  are  learning  to  give. 
In  five  years  the  average  gift  has  risen  from  $9.11  to  $10.92  and  the  total  amount 
contributed  annually  has  increased  from  $15,000  to  over  $28,000.  And  in  the  past 
year  an  additional  $28,000  for  Capital  Gifts  such  as  endov\'ments,  scholarships, 
and  for  building  purposes,  came  from  Alumni.  The  percentage  of  givers  in  one 
of  our  classes  (1929)  has  increased  in  the  past  three  years  from  7%  to  25%.  In 
the  same  period  the  annual  gifts  of  this  class  have  risen  from  SI 90  to  $1500. 

And  yet  in  the  1953-1954  Fund  year,  out  of  a  total  of  15,000  Alumni,  onlv 
2644  gave  to  the  annual  Alumni  Giving  Fund  and  for  Capital  purposes.  The 
encouraging  aspect  about  all  this  is  not  onlv  that  the  Alumni  are  learning  to  give, 
but  that  a  vast  potential  source  of  giving  is  awaiting  the  magic  word  to  start  it 
flowing.  We  often  wish  it  would  start  growing  more  rapidly— as  it  has  on  some 
campuses.  We  sometimes  wonder  why  more  than  80',  of  our  number  give  noth- 
ing. Surveys  show  that  it  is  because  most  of  us  are  casual,  and  often  careless,  not 
to  say  thoughtless.  We  mean  well,  and  have  deep  affection  for  Bucknell,  intend 
sometime  in  the  future  to  do  something  for  it;  but  we  find  it  difficult  to  o^'ercomc 
inertia,  and  take  the  first  step.  It  is  only  necessary  to  make  a  beginning,  however 
small.  When  we  begin  to  give,  we  begin  to  grow  interested;  we  read  THE  BUCK- 
NELL ALUMNLIS;  we  take  an  interest  in  our  local  Alumni  club  activities;  we 
follow  the  progress  of  events  on  the  Hill;  we  become  a  part  of  the  great  educational 
movement  and  feel  ourselves  becoming  shareholders  in  the  enterprise.  Ask  those 
who  have  been  giving  and  increasing  their  gifts  during  the  last  six  years  and  you 
will  find  they  really  enjoy  helping  "Keep  Bucknell  Strong." 

In  November  the  General  Electric  Co.  announced  that  in  1955  it  will  match 
(up  to  $1000  per  employee)  the  gifts  that  GE  employees  make  to  their  colleges. 
This  is  a  challenge  to  college  alumni  and  may  he  a  forerunner  of  other  industrial 
programs  of  "Helping  them  that  help  themselves." 

We  keep  believing  that  someday  soon  e\^ery  potential  Bucknell  giver  will  make 
a  place  in  his  or  her  annual  budget  for  a  gift  to  the  University,  some  amount  that 
can  be  given  without  strain.  The  result  will  be  that  giving  will  become  a  habit 
and  the  amount  will  increase  as  the  giver  prospers.  Furthermore,  when  that  day 
comes  the  doors  of  many  industries  and  foundations  now  closed  will  open  v\'ide; 
for  industry  and  foundations— like  the  Lord— "help  them  that  help  themsehes." 

I  hope  they  ask  me  about  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  at  the  Fund  Directors 
Conference.  If  they  do,  I  think  I'll  speak  for  all  Bucknellians  and  assure  them 
that  the  1954-1955  program  will  establish  new  highs  in  total  contributions,  average 
gift,  and  most  important  of  all,  in  percentage  of  participation.

President  Odgers  Welcomed  as  Tenth 
President  of  Bucknell 


At  a  special  convocation  held  in  Da^ns 
Gjinnasium  on  December  1,  over  2,000  mem- 
bers of  the  Bucknell  family  greeted  Dr. 
Odgers  to  the  campus.  Following  are  excerpts 
from  the  addresses  of  introduction,  greetings 
and  response. 

From  the  introduction  of  Dr.  Wiiliam  H. 
Coleman,  vice-president  in  charge  of  aca- 
demic affairs: 

"We  extend  to  you.  Dr.  Odgers,  as  the  10th 
President  of  Bucknell  University,  our  greet- 
ings. You  are  entering  upon  a  great  heritage 
which  I  am  convinced  you  will  uphold  with 
honor  to  yourself  and  with  distinction  to  the 
Universit}-. 

"The  faculty  looks  for  a  new  miracle  man 
who  will  be  able  to  solve  overnight  all  the 
problems  of  the  institution ;  the  students  also 
expect  mar\-els  to  be  performed  and  the 
graduates  of  the  University  likewise  expect 
the  impossible.  Do  not  be  dismayed,  Presi- 
dent Odgers,  if  the  miracles  do  not  occur 
promptly,  for  you  are  facing  the  same  college 
and  the  same  people,  the  same  problems  your 
predecessors  faced.  Your  fine  academic 
training  coupled  with  your  rich  and  varied 
experience  as  teacher,  scholar,  administrator, 
hold  promise  of  great  things. 

"I  am  sure  that  Bucknell  will  find  in  Dr. 
Odgers  a  man  of  understanding,  considered 
optimism,  extensive  experience,  deep  insight 
and  executive  wisdom.  I  know  that  as  he 
assumes  office  you  will  display  towards  him 
that  spirit  of  friendliness  which  is  the  dis- 
tinguishing characteristic,  I  believe,  of  this 
institution;  you  will  take  the  new  President 
and  his  gracious  wife  into  the  Bucknell  fam- 
ily that  reaches  around  the  world.  May  you. 
Mr.  President,  realize  the  early  fulfilment  of 
the  goals  you've  set  for  this  institution  and 
in  so  doing  achieve  a  full  measure  of  per- 
sonal satisfaction  which  will  be  reflected  in 
the  steady  progress  of  the  University  we 
cherish. 

"I  present  to  you  Dr.  Merle  Middleton 
Odgers,  the  tenth  President  of  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity." 

From  the  greetings  of  Edward  J.  Micma  '55, 
president,  Student-Faculty  Congress: 
"Dr.  Odgers,  it  is  my  pleasure  and  privi- 
lege on  behalf  of  the  student  body  to  welcome 
you  to  Bucknell  University,  Since  our  pres- 
ent Freshman  and  Sophomore  classes  have 
been  here,  the  President's  house  has  been  un- 
occupied. These  underclassmen  perhaps  have 
not  been  aware  that  a  certain  little  something 
has  been  missing ;  that  is,  a  little  extra  en- 
thusiasm and  a  unity  of  spirit  that  exists 
when  a  capable  and  popular  President  is  in 
office.  We  have  iKcn  looking  forward  to 
having  you  with  us,  Dr.  Odgers. 

"There  has  Ijcen  no  one  person  to  whom 
the  students  could  extend  their  thanks  for 
any  sr)crial  concessions  given  them  by  the 
University,  but  at  the  same  time,  there  has 
l>een  no  one  ujK>n  whom  to  place  the  blame 
for  any  unfx-jjiular  regulations  which  may 
have  tieen  impfj.^ed  on  the  students  by  the 
University.  You  sec.  Dr.  Odgers,  we  arc 
happy  to  have  you  with  us." 

From    the    nreetinqt    of    Dr.    Norman    11. 

Steunrl  of  the  faculty: 

"Dr.  Odgers,  it  is  my  peculiar  privilege  to 
welrome  you  in  the  name  of  the  Bucknell 
Faculty  and  I  tak'  great  pleasure  in  s^i  doing.

"In  September  1846  another  gentleman 
came  here  from  Philadelphia,  one  Thomas 
Wattson  to  put  his  boy  in  that  little  academy 
group  down  in  the  basement  of  the  old  Bap- 
tist Church  which  was  the  nucleus  of  Buck- 
nell. Maj'  I  quote  one  of  his  letters:  'After 
a  vexatious  detention  at  Harrisburg  due  to 
the  breaking  down  of  the  cars  and  a  long 
delay  in  the  canal  boat  waiting  for  more 
water  to  come,  we  finally  arrived  at  Lewis- 
burg,  met  Professor  Taylor  and  put  my  boy 
in  his  class.  Then  Professor  Taylor  took 
me  out  to  see  the  site  of  the  proposed  uni- 
versity and  as  we  wandered  through  the 
grove  of  young  oak  trees  he  seemed  to  speak 
with  unusual  enthusiasm  about  his  plans  and 
dreams,  and  I  thought,  rather  poetically.  But 
as  we  came  to  the  top  of  the  hill  and  I  took 
the  view  from  there,  I  confess  that  I  wished 
I  were  an  educated  man  who  might  teach  in 
an  institution  at  such  a  beautiful  site.'  Today, 
Dr.  Odgers,  the  longings  of  Thomas  Wattson 
are  fulfilled  in  you. 

"We  shall  not  sit  by  and  expect  you  to 
work  miracles  here  in  your  own  strength 
alone.  Is  it  not  miraculous  however,  that 
from  that  little  group  down  there  in  the 
basement  of  the  old  Baptist  Church  there 
has  arisen  this  University  with  1900  students 
and  15,000  Alumni?  How  are  such  things 
done?  Not  in  the  strength  of  men  alone  but 
by  the  grace  of  God  assisting  them. 

"With  the  faith  that  characterized  the 
founders  of  this  institution  and  those  who 
came  after  them,  miracles  can  be  worked  and 
I  am  convinced  that  we  are  stepping  forward 
into  the  greatest  period  in  the  history  of 
Bucknell." 

From  the  greetings  extended  by  Dr.  Dayton 
L.  Ranck,  vice-president  in  charge  of  ad- 
ministrative affairs: 

"We  live  in  a  day  when  practically  all 
colleges  have  some  program  of  expansion, 
largely  due  to  the  social  demands  which  are 
now  crowding  in  upon  us.  Expansion  de- 
mands result  in  'growing  pains'  or  head- 
aches to  some  who  have  to  meet  situations 
incident  to  the  growth.  Some  discourage- 
ments and  dark  moments  frequently  appear. 
The  President  is  the  one  individual  expected 
at  all  times  to  be  able  to  see  the  star  in  the 
distance  and  to  lend  encouragement  to  the 
staff  about  him. 

"Dr.  Odgers,  we  turn  to  you  as  the  Chief. 
We  are  confident  that  you  will  not  find  any- 
where a  more  loyal  and  devoted  group  to 
support  your  administration.  As  you  plan 
for  an  increased  influence  for  our  college, 
which  we  love,  we  know  that  together  we  can 
do  worth-while  things.  Ours  is  a  sincere 
welcome  to  you  and  to  Mrs.  Odgers.  We  are 
going  to  like  you,  and  we  hope  that  you  will 
like  all  that  Bucknell  makes  traditionally 
pfjssible." 

From  the  respon.'ic  of  Dr.  Merle  M.  Odgers. 
tenth  president  of  Bucknell  University: 
"As  the  newest  of  all  Buckncllians,  not 
yet  a  I'.urkncllian  for  one  day,  I  greet  you 
older  ladies  and  gentlemen  of  FJucknell  Uni- 
versity. I  appreciate  this  introduction  to  the 
Bucknell  family--my  new  family.  Since  it 
is  an  obligation  imposed  on  the  youngest 
mcmlier  of  any  family  to  be  seiti  rather  than 
heard,  I  shall  attempt  no  lengthy  response.  I 
am  honored  by  the  kind  things  that  have  been 


said  and  I  do  appreciate  very  much  indeed 
your  very  kind  and  cordial  welcome.  I  am 
looking  forward  with  deep  pleasure  to  living 
and  working  with  all  of  you  here  on  this 
campus, 

"And  because  for  many  years  I  have  been 
head  of  a  school  which  enrolls  only  males, 
I  admit  to  a  certain  sense  of  keen  anticipa- 
tion in  becoming  associated  once  again  with 
an  institution  in  which  women  students  form 
a  vital,  and  may  I  say,  attractive  part  of  the 
scene.  In  the  past  Mrs.  Odgers  and  I  have 
known  many  alumni  of  Bucknell,  some  of 
them  alumni  of  the  classes  of  as  recent  vin- 
tage (if  it  is  proper  to  refer  to  vintage  on 
this  campus)   as  1953  and  1954. 

"And  on  visits  here,  brief  as  they  were, 
and  few  though  they  were,  I  have  seen 
quickly  that  this  is  a  friendly  campus,  as 
has  been  said  this  morning.  A  friendly 
campus,  where  good  friends,  good  people, 
and  good  work  predominate,  just  as  they  did 
on  the  campus  from  which  I  come.  And  peo- 
ple smile  in  greeting  one  another  here.  I 
like  that.  I  am  proud  to  be  associated  with 
the  faculty  members  and  the  upperclassmen 
whom  I  have  met. 

"I  realize,  of  course,  even  though  they  may 
be  my  elder  brothers  and  my  elder  sisters  for 
the  moment,  I  can't  say  of  the  Bucknell 
Freshmen  or  the  Bucknell  Sophomores  as 
the  poet  said  of  Abou  Ben  Adhem  'May 
liis  tribe  increase'  because,  unfortunately, 
these  classes  have  a  way  of  decreasing  and 
not  of  increasing.  But  you  will  permit  me, 
I  know,  to  hope  that  your  classes  are  'san- 
forized', as  some  one  has  phrased  it,  and  that 
they  will  not  shrink  because  of  what  some 
individuals  do  or  fail  to  do  in  meeting  aca- 
demic standards.  I  suppose  a  class  is  like 
anything  that  grows.  Its  strength  increases 
with  work.  I  often  think  of  an  interesting 
statement  in  Nehemiah  'So  we  built  the  wall, 
for  the  people  had  a  mind  to  work.'  Surely 
as  a  University  this  institution  naturally  ex- 
pects students  to  have  a  mind  to  work  and 
to  work  up  to  their  intellectual  capacities. 

"As  I  look  at  you  and  think  of  the  cordial 
relationship  that  I  expect  to  enjoy  with  you, 
a  British  phrase  comes  to  my  mind.  In 
post-war  England  I  have  listened  to  many 
British  Broadcasting  Company  programs.  As 
you  know  they  have  more  music  than  our 
programs ;  they  have  no  commercials ;  they 
do  have  conventional  news  and  our  type  of 
weather  reports.  But  the  weather  reports 
arc  likely  to  be  a  little  more  human  than 
ours;  for  the  Briti.sh  announcers  provide  the 
predicted  weather  with  a  kind  of  personality, 
calling  it  benign,  or  aggressive,  or  co-opera- 
tive or  resistant.  The  London  rep<-)rts  arc 
often  pessimistic  when  the  weather  is  show- 
ery and  unpleasant.  But  occasionally  with  a 
note  of  joy  in  his  voice  the  BBC  newscaster 
predicts  that  it  will  be  'fair,  with  bright  in- 
tervals.' And  perhaps  that  phrase  may  well 
characterize  our  relatiniis  with  one  another 
on  this  cam|)us.  Yfiu  and  I  want  to  oxeniplify 
human  justice  and  fair  play  and  we  would 
certainly  like  to  have  our  intelligence  outdo 
itself  at  times,  so  let's  be  'fair,  with  bright 
intervals.' 

"Ladies  and  Gentlemen,  this  mcirning  you 
made  the  newest  of  all  Bticknelliaiis  very 
welcome  indeed,  and  he  sincerely  thanks  you 
for  it."

JANUARY    195S 


ALUMNI  OFFICERS  ON  NIGHT  SHIFT 


WTiile  several  thousand  Bucknellians  made 
merr>-  in  pre-garae  celebrations  on  Home- 
coming \\'eekend  about  half  a  hundred  Gen- 
eral Alumni  Association  officers,  directors, 
and  committee  members  put  in  8  solid  hours 
of  meetings  and  discussion  of  affairs  vital 
to  the  General  Alumni  program. 

Class  Fund  Managers  Meet 

The  first  session  was  the  dinner  meeting 
of  the  Class  Fund  Managers  and  members 
of  the  Alumni  Fund  Committee.  After 
dinner  the  Fund  workers  assembled  from 
far  and  near,  (Arda  Bowser  '23  came  from 
Florida  to  attend  the  session^,  and  heard 
Clyde  P.  Bailey  '29,  Alumni  Fund  Chairman, 
outline  the  program  of  Fund  activities  for 
the  current  year.  There  was  general  agree- 
ment that  a  broader  attack  should  be  made 
in  the  field  of  personal  solicitation  and  23 
Alumni  areas  were  listed  for  personal  solici- 
tation efforts  with  the  following  13  being 
placed  on  the  first  priority  list :  Williams- 
port,  Metropolitan  New  York,  Southern  Jer- 
sey. Long  Island,  Trenton,  Cleveland,  Buf- 
falo. Pittsburgh,  Reading,  Washington,  D. 
C.  Lewistown,  Binghamton,  and  Philadel- 
phia. The  program  of  soliciting  students 
during  the  Senior  year  for  Fund  contribu- 
tions was  outlined  for  those  present.  It  was 
pointed  out  that  some  misunderstanding  ex- 
ists with  regard  to  the  relationship  of  capi- 
tal and  other  gifts  as  compared  with  gifts 
to  the  Alumni  Fund.  The  group  favored  the 
present  plan  of  allowing  individual  and  class 
credit  for  all  gifts  of  Alumni  to  the  Uni- 
versity whether  for  the  Alumni  Annual-Giv- 
ing Fund  or  for  "Capital  and  other  gifts." 

Board  of  Directors 

Twelve  of  the  15  members  of  the  Board 
of  Directors  were  present  for  the  4-hour 
session  on  Friday  night  of  Homecoming 
Weekend  and  heard  a  lengthy  report  on  pro- 
posed changes  in  the  by-laws.  The  proposals 
will  be  published  in  the  May  1955  issue  of 
THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS  and  will 
be  submitted  to  the  Annual  Assembly  in 
June  1955.  An  interim  report  of  the  Com- 
mittee Studying  a  Revision  of  the  Alumni 
Award  Program  was  submitted,  with  a  com- 
plete report  promised  for  the  next  Board 
meeting.  The  Board  heard  Dr.  William  F. 
Darkes  '27,  Chairman  of  the  "Doctors  for 
Bucknell"  project,  outline  the  accomplish- 
ments of  this  special  group  of  Alumni  and 
present  plans  for  extending  the  program. 

Other  business  included  the  appointment  of 
a  committee  to  confer  with  the  University 
officials  on  the  study  of  the  questions  involved 
in  designated  giving  in  the  Alumni  Fund 
program ;  heard  a  report  from  the  Athletic 
Advisory  Committee  on  athletic  matters ; 
heard  a  repfjrt  from  a  member  of  the  Uni- 
versity administration  on  recent  campus  and 
student  relationships ;  considered  the  names 
of  fifteen  Alumni  suggested  for  membership 
tm  the  Board  of  Directors  to  fill  the  five 
places  to  become  vacant  in  June  1955;  ap- 
pfjinted  a  cr^mmiltee  of  Alumni  to  serve  as 
tellers  In  the  1955  Alumni  Trustee  Election  ; 
discussed  the  steps  necessary  to  accomplish 
the  subrlivision  of  the  Metropolitan  New 
York-N'cw  Jersey  Alumni  Association  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  petition  presented  at  the 
1954  a.sscmbly.  At  12:.30  A.  M.  the  meeting 
wan  cloM-d,  although  there  still  remained 
wx'eral  items  of  business  'm  the  agenda. 

Alumni  Trustee  Committee 

1 1  numl>cr  of  candidates  is  any  indicator 
of  intcreit  fand  it  is)  then  the  Alumni  trus- 
tee election  of  1955  should  draw  a  record 
number  of  votes.  Alumni  f^liib  organizations 
and  individual  Alumni  had  suggested  the 
namct  of  28  Flurknellians — any  one  of  whom 
would  make  an  fxcell<-nt  addition  to  the  al- 

J  A  N  i;  A  R  V    I  0  ii .'. 


ready  distinguished  Board  of  Trustees.  But 
the  Committee  is  required  to  select  just  three 
nominees  and  after  studying  the  biographical 
record  of  achievements  of  the  13  Bucknellians 
who  had  indicated  a  willingness  to  serve,  the 
committee  members  selected  a  first,  second 
and  third  choice  of  candidate.  By  tallying 
the  results  of  these  secret  ballots,  the  follow- 
ing candidates  emerged : 

Dr.  Franklin  D.  Jones  '19,  Ardmore,  Pa. 

Mr.  James  S.  Replogle  '26,  Pittsburgh,  Pa. 

Mr.  Julius  F.  Seebach  Jr.  '20,  New  York 
City. 

Photographs  and  biographical  records  of 
the  three  candidates  will  be  published  in  the 
March  1955  issue  of  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALUMNUS  and  in  April  every  Alumnus 
will  receive  a  mail  ballot  and  will  be  urged 
to  vote  for  his  favorite  candidate.  Balloting 
will  end  on  May  16  and  the  results  of  the 
election  will  be  certified  to  the  President  of 
the  University  at  Commencement  in  June 
1955.  Additional  candidates  may  be  nomi- 
nated by  a  petition  signed  by  no  fewer  than 
200  Alumni,  provided  such  petition  shall  be 
filed  in  the  Alumni  Office  not  later  than  Feb- 
ruary 21,  1955. 

Alumni  Achievement  Award  Committee 

On  Saturday  morning  October  23,  the 
Alumni  Achievement  Award  Committee  met 
as  usual  in  great  secrecy  and  selected  an 
Alumnus  to  receive  the  Bucknell  Alumni 
Achievement  Award  chair  and  citation  in 
June  1955.  Would  you  like  to  know  who 
was  selected  ?  Be  sure  to  be  on  hand  at  the 
All- Alumni  luncheon  on  Saturday,  June  11, 
1955  at  the  Davis  Gymnasium  and  you  will 
be  able  to  congratulate  the  recipient.

Christian  ministry  should  be  their  life  work. 

Colonel  .Shure  received  his  B.D.  degree 
from  Drew  University  in  1938,  having  pre- 
vious pulpit  experience  while  a  senior  at 
Bucknell.  He  served  in  several  rural  com- 
munity churches  before  entering  the  service

Oiiigratulations  to  another  .successful 
inr-mher  of  the  liucknell  family  I 


Mrs.  Jeanne  Rockwell  Noonan  '42  is  the 
co-author  with  her  father  of  My  Way  of  Be- 
coming a  Hunter,  a  biography  of  her  father's 
adventuresome  life  as  a  museum  man,  nat- 
uralist, and  big  game  hunter.  Publication 
date  for  the  book  is  set  for  February — W. 
W.  Norton  and  Co.  of  New  York. 

Jeanne  tells  us  tliat  after  nine  years  in  and 
out  of  newspaper  business  she  decided  in 
1950  to  settle  down  and  write  the  novel 
she'd  always  been  dreaming  about.  The  re- 
sult turned  out  to  be  non-fiction  and  a  topic 
close  to  her,  as  you  can  see.  Her  father, 
Robert  H.  Rockwell,  now  lives  at  James- 
ville,  Virginia,  close  to  Chesapeake  Bay, 
where  since  his  retirement  from  the  Amer- 
ican Museum  of  Natural  History  in  New 
York,  he  has  continued  his  sculpture  and 
taxidermy  work.  One  of  Mr.  Rockwell's 
bronze  miniatures  "Equine  Motion"  was  ex- 
hibited this  fall  at  the  annual  show  of  the 
Washington  (D.  C.)  Sculpture  Group. 

At  present  Jeanne  is  at  work  on  another 
book  although  this  has  been  going  fairly 
slow  due  to  the  fact  that  she  is  regularly 
substituting  as  a  teacher  in  tlie  Ann  Arbor 
public  schools.  Jeanne's  husband,  Thomas 
E.  Noonan,  is  on  the  faculty  of  Tappan 
Junior  High  School  in  Ann  Arbor.  They  live 
at  1500  Longshore  Drive  with  their  son, 
Keith,  aged  8. 


Arthur  E.  Harris  '21 
Is  School  Head 

Word  comes  from  Rochester,  N.  Y.  that 
Arthur  \L  Harris  '21  is  enjoying  his  eighth 
year  as  principal  of  Brighton  High  School 
tliere.  Endorsing  an  "open  door  policy" 
where  students  and  faculty  are  concerned, 
he  finds  lliat  the  test  of  a  good  .school  sys- 
tem is  the  mutual  understanding  of  chil- 
dren and  administration. 

After  receiving  bis  A.B.  degree  from 
liucknell,  Mr.  Harris  earned  a  B.l).  de- 
gree in  religious  education  and  philosophy 
at  the  old  Rochester  Theological  Semi- 
nary, now  Colgate-Rochester  Divinity 
.School. 

Art  and  his  wife,  Elsie,  have  two  mar- 
ried daughters.    Their  life  interest  has  al 
ways   been   teenagers,  and   they've  kept  in 
contact    with    this   group    through    church 
work,  scouting  and   YMCA  aclivities. 

Congratulations  and  good  luck  to  an- 
other .successful  nicMibcr  of  the  Bucknell

THE  Trustees'  approval  in  November  of 
the  building  development  at  Cowan,  and 
the  acceptance  of  the  general  chairmanship 
by  Dr.  Louis  W.  Robey  '04,  inspires  confi- 
dence in  success  for  a  project  long  under 
consideration. 

IN  1936,  the  University  Christian  Associa- 
tion after  some  four  years  of  searching, 
acquired  a  property  of  28  acres  along  Buf- 
falo Creek,  near  the  village  of  Cowan,  seven 
miles  from  Lewisburg.  The  farm  house  and 
barn  were  remodeled  to  provide  facilities  for 
conferences,  outings,  and  recreation.  The 
project  was  made  possible  through  the  gen- 
erous gift  of  $1,000.00  by  the  then  President 
Arnaud  C.  Marts.  Since  that  time  the  prop- 
erty has  been  much  improved.  Large  play- 
ing fields  have  been  developed  and  a  picnic 
area  in  the  woods,  including  fireplaces,  was 
made  possible  through  a  gift  by  the  Mothers' 
Association.  Comfortable  accommodations 
provide  for  40  overnight  guests,  and  more 
can  be  handled  for  meals. 

THE  facilities  of  the  Conference  and  Rec- 
reation Center  have  been  used  increas- 
ingly by  campus  and  community  groups.  Last 
year  more  than  80  different  groups  were  ac- 
commodated. Freshman  Camp  is  held  here. 
During  the  fall  and  spring  almost  every 
week-end  sees  one  or  more  groups  accom- 
modated. Many  organizations  have  their  an- 
nual dinners  here.  During  the  summer,  ser- 
vice clubs,  scouts,  and  chuch  groups  use  these 
facilities.  But  the  facilities  are  too  small 
for  the  demands  put  upon  them. 

THE  present  plan  calls  for  the  erection  of 
a  new  building  or  lodge,  with  a  living 
room  30  x  60,  with  kitchen,  faculty  guest 
rooms,  and  dormitory  wings  attached.  A 
heating  system  and  modern  plumbing  will  be 
added,  as  well  as  fireplaces  which  the  center 
does  not  now  have.  The  present  farm  house 
will  then  become  a  caretaker's  home,  and  the 
barn  an  auxiliary  sleeping  unit.  Mr.  Jens 
Larson  and  his  firm  are  generously  contribut- 
ing their  services  to  draw  up  the  plans  for  a 
structure,  estimated  to  cost  $50,000.  It  will 
be  kept  rustic  and  simple.  Much  glass  in  the 
walls  will  open  the  view  into  the  woods  and 
through  the  meadow.  This  building  will 
make  possible  an  expanded  program  all  the 
year  round,  where  students  and  faculty 
members  as  well  as  others  can  get  away 
from  the  campus  itself  and  informally  create

fellowship  and  strengthen  the  ties  of  intel- 
lectual, moral  and  spiritual  life.  This  kind 
of  development  is  known  to  many  campuses. 

Valuable  Assistance  Given 

THE  Department  of  Public  Relations  of 
the  Board  of  Education  and  Publication 
of  the  American  Baptist  Convention  has 
through  its  director.  Dr.  Paul  Carter,  vol- 
unteered to  assist  in  a  program  of  fund 
raising,  and  are  assigning  Mr.  Homer  M. 
Fairlee  of  their  staff  to  the  campus  for  three 
months  to  help.  These  services  as  well  as 
those  of  the  able  chairman,  Mr.  Robey  of 
Marts  &  Lundy,  will  be  invaluable  and  come 
as  a  gift  to  the  University.  Mr.  Carter's 
office  is  also  handling  the  publicity. 

MR.  Weaver  W.  Pangburn  '10,  na- 
tional consultant  on  Parks  and  Recrea- 
tion, is  contributing  his  services  as  counsel 
on  building  arrangements,  site,  and  on  land- 
scaping and  development  of  the  grounds.  He 
is  very  much  pleased  with  the  present  loca- 
tion and  possibilities  of  the  site.  Dr.  D.  M. 
Griffith    '23,    chairman    of    civil    engineering 


department,  who  has  been  chairman  of  the 
"Cabin  Committee"  since  its  inception,  has 
given  much  time  to  the  planning  of  the  pro- 
gram. The  General  Secretary  of  the  Chris- 
tian Association  will  undertake  the  local 
management  of  the  campaign  office.  Con- 
tributions will  be  solicited  from  a  selected 
group  of  alumni  and  friends.  But  no  one 
is  excluded  from  making  a  gift  to  this 
project.  Dr.  Dayton  L.  Ranck,  Treasurer 
and  Vice  President,  has  been  one  of  the 
prime  movers  in  the  program  which  now 
begins  to  materialize  in  providing  Bucknell 
with  another  valuable  asset  to  its  educational 
and  religious  program. 


Elbina  L.  Bender  '06  Dies 

Classmates  and  Bucknellians  in  general 
will  be  saddened  to  learn  of  the  untimely 
death  of  Elbina  L.  Bender.  Miss  Bender, 
who  has  served  as  Class  Fund  Manager  for 
1906  since  the  inception  of  the  Fund,  has 
established  a  splendid  record  of  service  to 
the  University  throughout  her  career.  Death 
occurred  a  few  hours  after  she  was  struck 
by  an  automobile  at  Third  and  Market 
Streets,  Lewisburg,  November  22. 

Because  of  her  long  period  of  service  in 
the  Lewisburg  schools,  she  was  known  and 
highly  regarded  by  a  large  part  of  the  adult 
population  of  Lewisburg.  Her  teaching  ca- 
reer also  included  service  at  Pasadena  Poly- 
technic School,  Pasadena,  California  and  as 
Dean  of  Women  at  Hartwick  College, 
Oneonta,  New  York,  from  which  position 
she  retired  twelve  years  ago.  Miss  Bender 
was  a  graduate  of  Bucknell  Institute  for 
Women  and  the  Bucknell  School  of  Music 
before  earning  her  bachelor's  degree  from 
the  University  in  1906. 

Surviving  are  a  brother,  George  T.  Ben- 
der '17,  Lewisburg;  a  sister,  Elizabeth,  wife 
of  Truman  R.  Martin,  Lewisburg  florist ;  a 
niece,  Mrs.  Raymond  W.  Cooke  '45 ;  a  neph- 
ew, Donald  B.  Gardner. 

The  University  and  the  Class  of  1906  ex- 
tend heartfelt  sympathy  to  the  survivors. 


News  From  Africa  and 

John   Lepke   '41 

A  newsy  letter  came  last  July  from  Rev. 
John  Lepke  '41  who  is  with  the  American 
Board  Mission  in  Mapumulo,  Natal,  South 
Africa.  Dated  in  May,  the  three-page  epis- 
tle told  of  new  experiences  and  achievements 
in  that  far-off  land.  A  1954  Chevrolet  sedan 
had  just  arrived  and  was  being  greatly  ap- 
preciated. Rummage  sales  of  clothes  sent 
by  American  friends  enabled  the  Africans 
to  maintain  their  self-respect  as  they  raised 
$240  to  help  renovate  their  chapel.

Library  Adds  Audio  Aids 

One  of  the  newest  developments  at 
Bucknell  in  addition  to  the  modern  build- 
ings that  are  rapidly  going  up  is  an  audio 
aids  room  in  the  Bertrand  Library. 

Dr.  J.  A.  Rivoire,  associate  professor  of 
French,  has  made  a  study  of  schools  which 
use  this  teaching  device  in  order  to  incor- 
porate in  Bucknell's  program  the  best  fea- 
tures of  the  system.  As  a  result,  one 
room  is  equipped  with  30  listening  stations 
for  that  number  of  students,  a  master  con- 
trol room,  and  a  second  listening  room. 
The  addition  of  audio  aids  will  assist  in 
the  teaching  of  speech,  languages,  and  mu- 
sic. 


JANUARY    1955 


Doctors  for  Bucknell 

With  little  fanfare  but  with  definite  ef- 
fect, a  new  organization  is  growing  on  the 
Bucicnell  Campus  that  well  may  set  a  pat- 
tern for  other  groups  associated  with  the 
University.  It  is  known  as  Doctors  for 
Bucknell  and  it  is  composed  of  Alumni  who 
entered  medicine  or  its  allied  fields.  The 
purpose  of  the  organization  is  to  support  the 
Biologj'  Department  in  any  manner  possible. 

The  idea  of  Doctors  for  Bucknell  was 
brought  forward  by  Dr.  W.  F.  Darkes  '27  of 
Orwigsburg,  Pa.  two  years  ago  when  the 
University  was  engrossed  in  the  problem  of 
raising  funds  with  which  to  remodel  Taylor 
Hall.  Dr.  Darkes  suggested  that  all  Medi- 
cal Alumni  be  invited  back  to  Lewisburg  to 
attend  a  S50-a-plate  dinner  for  the  benefit 
of  the  building  fund. 

The  University  was  at  first  a  bit  reluc- 
tant to  accept  the  idea,  good  as  it  was,  be- 
cause it  felt  that  such  an  effort  would  inter- 
fere with  the  Alumni  Fund.  However,  the 
University  agreed  to  let  Dr.  Darkes  poll  his 
fellow  medics  as  to  the  possibility  of  holding 
such  a  dinner  and  the  response  was  such  that 
there  was  no  doubt  that  the  idea  would  go 
over. 

Accordingly,  tickets  were  printed  and  the 
Medical  Alumni  were  invited  to  a  dinner  at 
the  ^Iilton  Country  Club,  on  Friday  evening 
of  Homecoming  Weekend,  1953.  More  than 
40  persons  paid  more  than  $4,000  to  sit  down 
at  that  dinner  and  furthermore,  they  voted 
to  make  the  affair  an  annual  one.  It  was  also 
agreed  that  Dr.  Darkes  should  be  acting 
chairman  of  Doctors  for  Bucknell  with  Al- 
fred H.  Fenton,  assistant  to  the  president, 
as  acting  secretary,  until  Homecoming  of 
1954  when  permanent  officers  would  be 
elected. 

Dr.  Chester  B.  Keefer  '18,  Special  Assis- 
tant for  Medical  Affairs  and  Health  to  the 
U.  S.  Secretary  of  Health,  Welfare  and 
Education  was  the  speaker  for  this  year's 
dinner,  held  in  the  Women's  Dining  Hall  on 
Friday  evening,  October  22. 

Since  this  dinner  meeting  was  to  be  of  an 
organizational  natvu-e,  it  was  decided  to  low- 
er the  price  of  the  affair  to  $25-a-plate  in 
order  to  increase  attendance. 

As  a  result  of  this  move,  53  persons  at- 
tended the  dinner.  These  included  several 
non-Bucknellian  doctors  from  the  local  area 
who  wished  to  hear  Dr.  Keefer,  as  well  as 
a  number  of  pre-medical  students  who  were 
guests  of  those  Alumni  who  purchased  tickets 
but  were  unable  to  attend. 

Dr.  Edward  W.  Pangburn  '15  of  Lewis- 
burg was  elected  the  first  president  of  Doc- 
tors for  Bucknell,  with  Dr.  Albert  J.  Abbott 
'29  of  N'anticoke,  Pa.,  as  vice  president  and 
Alfred  H.  Fenton,  assistant  to  the  president, 
as  secretary-treasurer. 

Following  the  meeting  an  Executive  Com- 
mittee comfjoscd  of  the  three  officers  and  Dr. 
Darkes,  the  retiring  Chairman  and  Dr.  Cor- 
nelius Sedgwick  '36  of  Boston  was  appointed. 
This  group  has  already  started  working  on 
a  number  of  projects.  At  their  suggestion 
all  pre-mcdical  students  are  organizing  to 
help  the  Doctors  For  Bucknell  to  hold  a  one- 
day  conference  on  the  campus  next  spring. 
This  conference  will  be  headed  by  a  group 
of  faculty  members  from  a  leading  medical 
kHooI  v>  that  the  Bucknell  students  will  have 
an  opix^rtunity  to  hear  first  hand  what  lies 
ahead  of  them. 

The  Executive  Committee  is  also  work- 
ing with  the  biology  faculty  to  determine 
Yviw  the  present  funds  on  hand  can  be  used 
to  assist  the  biology  department  and  is 
planning  memorials  for  Drs.  Nelson  F.  Davis 
and  G.  G.  fjroff.  The  Crmimitlcc  is  consid- 
ering  a  graduated  scale  of  prices  for  next 
year's  dinner  so  that  younger  doctors  will  be 
encouraged  to  attend,

Trustees  Boost  Men's  Dorm 
Project 

The  new  Dormitory  for  Freshman  Men 
currently  being  erected  on  the  Campus  is  vir- 
tually a  monument  to  Bucknell's  present 
Board  of  Trustees. 

Like  the  renovation  of  Taylor  Hall,  the 
new  Dormitory  was  a  contingency  _  item. 
There  were  several  factors  involved  in  the 
decision  to  erect  this  building.  In  the  first 
place,  the  Board  felt  that  it  was  not  fair  to 
expect  men  students  to  continue  to  study  in 
the  crowded  conditions  which  were  inevitable 
when  the  campus  was  over-populated  with 
World  War  II  veterans.  Secondly,  the  col- 
leges and  universities  which  can  be  consid- 
ered as  Bucknell's  "competitors"  were  grad- 
ually improving  their  facilities  and  it  was 
becoming  evident  that  Bucknell  would  have 
to  do  the  same.  Another  reason  behind  the 
move  was  the  fact  that  the  Board  wanted 
to  give  members  of  the  freshman  class  an 
opportunity  to  know  one  another  better  be- 
fore they  were  divided  among  the  fraternities 
on  campus.  Thus,  a  dining  hall  was  included 
in  the  basic  plans  so  as  to  care  for  the  feed- 
ing of  freslimen  when  deferred  rushing  is 
instituted  in  the  Fall  of  1955. 

Action  on  this  project  was  started  two 
years  ago  under  the  administration  of  Presi- 
dent Hildreth.  As  a  first  step,  he  persuaded 
Rush  H.  Kress,  Honorary  Chairman  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees  and  member  of  the  Class 
of  1900.  to  make  a  challenge  gift  of  $100,000 
contingent  upon  the  raising  of  an  additional 
$300,000  for  the  project.  This,  as  he  has  done 
many  times  before,  Mr.  Kress  agreed  to  do. 
Then  Senator  Andrew  J.  Sordoni  made  a 
pledge  of  $25,000  and  the  ball  began  to  roll. 

Robert  K.  Bell  '20  of  Ocean  City,  N.  J. 
and  Paul  L.  Troast,  Hon.  '52,  of  Clifton,  N. 
J.  were  the  two  Trustees  who  pushed  hard- 
est for  this  building  and  as  a  result  of  their 
enthusiasm  they  were  appointed  as  planning 
chairman  and  finance  chairman,  respective- 
ly, for  the  project. 

The  Planning  Committee,  headed  by  Mr. 
Bell  and  composed  of  Joseph  W.  Henderson, 
H.  Boardman  Hopper,  Paul  L.  Troast,  and 
Harry  G.  Schad  together  with  the  Standing 
Committee  on  Buildings  and  Grounds,  began 
working  with  the  architect,  studying  dormi- 
tories on  other  campuses,  and  getting  build- 
ing estimates.  It  was  eventually  decided  that 
the  proper  type  of  building  could  be  erected 
for  $750,000  and  the  Board,  realizing  that  a 
full-scale  campaign  for  funds  could  not  be 
conducted,  agreed  to  borrow  $350,000  from 
the  University's  own  endowment  and  to  raise 
the  remaining  $400,000  in  gifts. 

With  these  facts  on  hand,  Kenneth  W. 
Slifer  '26  prepared  a  booklet  to  be  used  by 
the  {'"inance  Committee,  so  that  by  June,  1954 
the  Committee,  headed  by  Mr.  Troast  and 
composed  of  Joseph  D.  Dent,  Bayard  L. 
England,  Andrew  R.  Mathieson,  Dr.  Walter 
P.  McKinncy,  Harry  G.  Schad  and  Mr.  Slif- 
er, was  ready  to  start  work. 

With  the  assistance  of  Mr.  Boll  and  Vice 
President  Dayton  L.  Ranck,  as  cx-o(ficio 
members  of  the  Committee  and  Alfred  H. 
Fenton,  assistant  to  the  president,  as  Execu- 
tive Director  of  the  Campaign,  the  group 
worked  (|uictly  during  the  months  of  July 
and  August.  .So  .successful  was  this  effort 
that  by  Scplemlicr  15,  when  bids  were  due 
from  contractors,  sufficient  funds  were  on 
hand  or  in  sight  so  that  the  Board  agreed 
to  start  construction  at  once. 

In  addition  to  the  fact  that  the  goal  of 
$400,000  was  within  reach,  another  factor 
which  helped  the  Trustees  to  make  their  de- 
cision was  the  fact  that  by  building  now,  with 
construction  crews  already  on  the  campus,  a 
saving  of  $20,000  could  be  obtained. 


And  while  the  goal  of  $400,000  has  still 
not  quite  been  attained,  it  should  be  pointed 
out  that  to  date  26  members  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees  have  pledged  or  paid  $321,000 
toward  the  project. 

Because  of  their  generosity  the  walls  of 
the  Dormitory  are  already  reaching  skyward. 


Sordoni  Elected  President 
of  AAA 

Dr.  Andrew  J.  Sordoni,  formerly  state  sec- 
retary of  commerce  who  received  an  hon- 
orary LL.D.  degree  from  Bucknell  in  1950, 
was  last  October  elected  president  of  the 
American  Automobile  Association.  Sordoni, 
who  served  as  president  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Motor  Federation,  said  in  a  report  to  the 
organization's  executive  committee  that  the 
AAA  clubs  are  "the  legislative  watchdogs 
for  the  motoring  public." 


Theta  Chi  to  Build 

Amidst  the  busy  activities  of  Homecom- 
ing weekend,  Bucknell's  chapter  of  Theta 
Chi  discussed  plans  for  a  new  house  on 
"the  Hill."  The  present  house  is  still 
located  on  South  Third  Street. 

Philip  C.  Campbell  '22,  of  Danville, 
president  of  the  Theta  Chi  Alumni  Corpo- 
ration, announced  at  the  meeting  on 
Homecoming  Day  that  all  alumni  will  be 
contacted  to  help  make  the  financial  drive 
a  success.  The  exact  cost  of  the  project 
is  not  known  at  present. 

The  most  recent  Greek-letter  addition  to 
the  hill  has  been  the  now-completed 
Lambda  Chi  Alpha  house. 


Summer  Bucknell 
University  Tours  to  Europe 

Bucknell  faculty  members  as  well  as 
students  are  going  abroad  in  the  summer- 
time. Next  summer  three  faculty  mem- 
bers are  heading  tours. 

The  Guild  for  Student  Travel  has  re- 
tained Miss  Harriet  Love  of  the  depart- 
ment of  economics  for  directing  their 
"Nordic  Tour"  covering  the  main  part  of 
Europe,  including  Denmark,  Sweden,  and 
Norway.  This  tour,  leaving  June  20  will 
occupy  62  days.  Miss  Love  also  conduct- 
ed a  tour  last  summer. 

Mr.  Forrest  D.  Brown,  secretary  of  the 
Christian  Association,  who  recently  re- 
turned from  a  sabbatical  in  Europe,  has 
also  been  retained  by  the  Guild  to  direct 
a  student  tour  to  seven  countries,  leaving 
July  2nd,  and  returning  on  September  3.  A 
special  feature  of  this  trip  will  be  confer- 
ences with  leaders  in  education  and  gov- 
ernment in  the  countries  visited. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  "Bus"  Rluni  have  been 
retained  by  the  Ball  Tours  to  supervise  a 
student  tour  of  two  months,  leaving  in 
late  June.  Last  summer  Mr.  Blum  served 
as  a  tour  director  for  Ball  Tours  on  some 
of  their  western  trips. 

Alumni  who  arc  interested  in  going  on 
one  of  these  tours,  should  write  to  the 
faculty  directors  mentioned  above  to  ob- 
tain further  information. 


Bucknell  Alumni  Census  of  1954     Josephine  HiWreth  52  wed 


Editor's  Note — This  is  the  seventh  of  a  series  being  published  in  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALUMNUS  to  show  the  geographic  distribution  of  Bucknell  Alumni.  The  present  article 
reports  the  census  of  1954. 

The  accompanying  map  shows  the  state-by-state  distribution  of  the  15,687  former  stu- 
dents of  Bucknell  University  with  known  addresses.  The  count  was  made  in  October  1954 
and  includes  the  graduates  of  June  of  this  year.  The  state  list  shown  under  the  map  includes 
the  comparable  census  for  October  1953.  About  10%  of  our  Bucknellians  move  each  year 
and  tell  Alumni  Headquarters  of  their  new  address.  Another  5%  move  and  leave  no  for- 
warding address.  Experience  shows  that  about  250  copies  of  this  issue  of  THE  BUCK- 
NELL ALUMNUS  will  be  returned  to  Alumni  Headquarters  as  undeliverable.  We  can 
improve  that  position  by  being  sure  to  tell  Alumni  Headquarters  when  and  where  we  move 
and  inform  the  office  about  Bucknellians  who  move  into  our  local  community.  The  post 
office  department  does  a  splendid  job  of  notifying  us  about  changes  of  address  that  they  have 
received,  but  a  sizeable  amount  of  tax  money  could  be  saved  if  everyone  notified  our  office  of 
a  change  of  address  BEFORE  moving.

Pierce  Honored  by  Sociology 
Group 

Dr.  Albert  Pierce,  of  the  sociology  de- 
partment, was  honored  in  December  by 
his  election  to  the  Institut  International 
de  Sociologie.  He  was  notified  of  his 
election  by  the  honorary's  president  in 
Rome,  Professor  Corrado  Gini.  Dr. 
Pierce  is  also  a  member  of  Phi  Beta 
Kappa. 

The  Institut  International  de  Sociologie 
was  founded  in  1893  for  scientific  study  of 
sociological  problems.  Election  to  the 
society  is  an  indication  of  scholarly  devel- 
opment within  the  field  of  sociology. 


Dr.  Merritt  Presides  in 
Forensics 

Dr.  Frank  Merritt,  associate  professor 
of  English,  played  a  prominent  role  at  the 
meetings  of  the  Debating  Association  of 
Pennsylvania  Colleges,  and  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Speech  Association  in  Pittsburgh 
on  October  8  and  9. 

As  president  of  the  DAPC,  Dr.  Merritt 
served  as  critic  judge  in  a  debate,  presided 
over  meetings,  and  presented  a  paper  on 
"Pennsylvania  Indian  Oratory."  The 
highlight  of  the  convention  was  an  ad- 
dress by  Dr.  Daniel  Poling,  editor  of  the 
Christian  Herald  magazine  and  a  trustee  of 
Bucknell. 


Senior  Theme— "Old  Faces" 

The  Class  of  '55  decided  to  leave  its  mark 
in  Bucknell's  Hall  of  Fame  and  presented  a 
variety  show,  "Old  Faces  of  '55,"  December 
4,  1954  in  Davis  Gymnasium. 

The  show  had  as  its  theme  a  review  of 
the  most  prominent  activities  and  attitudes 
to  be  found  in  each  successive  college  year. 
In  the  cast  were  members  of  the  Class  of  '55 
who  each  contributed  to  the  production. 
Scripts  were  written  by  the  students,  and 
choreography,  tickets,  and  staging  were  also 
arranged  by  the  seniors.  The  Purple  Knights 
provided  music  for  the  affair. 

The  performance  combined  wit  and  charm, 
gaiety  and  sobriety.  It  was  an  account  in 
retrospect  presenting  the  laughter  along  with 
the  tears  and  the  joy  with  the  doubts  in  col- 
lege life.

Dr.    Harris— Outstanding 
Daughter  of  Pennsylvania 

"I  was  sidetracked  into  entering  the  prison 
sen-ice  in  Xew  York  City  in  1914,"  said  Dr. 
Mar\-  B.  Harris  upon  learning  that  she  had 
been  chosen  as  one  of  19J4"s  Pennsylvania's 
Ten  Outstanding  Women.  Dr.  Harris  is  a 
Bucknell  graduate  of  1894  and  now  resides  at 
9  Market  Street,  Lewisburg. 

The  pre\-ious  54  living  award  winners 
of  "Pennsylvania's  Outstanding  Women," 
founded  in  1949,  made  the  selections.  The 
gold  medal  awards  were  given  at  a  luncheon 
in  Governor  John  S.  Fine's  home  in  Harris- 
burg.  The  ten  women  then  took  part  in  the 
home  county  celebration  during  Pemisyl- 
vania  Week  from  October  10  to  17. 

The  words  of  Dr.  Harris'  formal  citation 
express  in  part  the  outstanding  work  she  has 
done  in  her  field  to  obtain  this  great  honor. 
They  read  .  .  .  Without  formal  education  in 
penal  work.  Dr.  Harris  "grew  to  understand 
the  heart  of  the  woman  criminal  and  so  thor- 
ough were  her  common  sense  methods  that 
she  achieved  an  amazing  success  in  her  chos- 
en work,  and  for  many  years  has  been  ac- 
cepted as  an  outstanding  authority  in  prison 
management  for  women.  She  is  a  great 
humanitarian,  penologist,  and  public  servant." 

After  graduation  from  Bucknell  and  the 
University  of  Chicago,  she  taught  in  private 
girls  schools  and  did  graduate  work  in  nu- 
mismatics at  Johns  Hopkins.  Continuing  her 
education,  Dr.  Harris  spent  two  years  abroad 
studying  advanced  numismatics  at  the  Amer- 
ican Classical  School,  Rome,  and  at  the  Key- 
ser  Fredrick  Museum,  Berlin. 

It  was  upon  returning  to  the  United  States 
that  she  became  "sidetracked."  She  accept- 
ed the  position  of  superintendent  of  the  Wo- 
men's Work  House  in  N.  Y.  C.  in  1914. 
Taking  a  leave.  Dr.  Harris  served  as  assis- 
tant director  of  the  women's  section  on  de- 
tention houses  and  reformatories  for  the 
War  Department  in  Washington. 

Completing  this  mission,  she  became  su- 
IK-rintendent  of  the  Reformatory  for  Women 
at  Clinton.  X.  J.,  and  then  went  to  the  State 
House  for  Girls  in  Trenton  until  1925.  In 
the  next  two  years.  Miss  Harris  directed  the 
building  of  the  new  federal  institution  for 
women  at  Alderson,  W.  Va.  This  project 
revolutionized  housing  and  treatment  of  wo- 
men in  penal  institutions.  Much  of  this  time 
was  spent  with  the  Justice  Department  in 
Washington,  D.  C.  The  institution  opened 
:n  1927,  and  Dr.  Harris  lived  there  until  her 
retirement  in  1941. 

Dr.  Harris  then  made  her  home  in  Lewis- 
burg where  she  served  on  the  Pennsylvania 

Parole  Board  in  1942  and  '4,3.  However,  this 
is  not  the  end  of  Dr.  Harris'  "long  side- 
track" tor  she  has  headed  the  Lewisburg 
Community  Chest  Drive  three  times,  was 
president  of  t)ie  Ix;wisburg  Civic  Club  four 
times,  has  been  a  trustee  of  Bucknell  for 
many  years,  and  is  presently  vice  president 
'>{  the  Union  County  Unit  of  American  Can- 

'■r  Society.  Dr.  Harris  returned  recently 
irom  a  ten  months'  N'orth  African  and  Euro- 
r>can  trip.  While  in  Lybia,  she  was  asked 
by  the  governor  to  ins|)cct  two  of  the  penal 
institutions. 

Dr.  Harris  wa.s  one  of  six  cliildrcn,  being 
the  only  girl.  Her  brothers  arc :  Herl>crt

Davis  'll  Directs  Guidance 
Workshop 

Dr.  Frank  G.  Davis  '11  was  director  of  a 
guidance  workshop  which  constituted  a  part 
of  the  Teachers'  Institute  of  Clinton  County, 
Pennsylvania,  on  October  29  at  Lock  Haven. 
Assisting  were  Dr.  J.  Charles  Jones  '42.  as- 
sistant professor  of  education,  and  Nicholas 
Troisi,  also  assistant  professor  of  education. 
Jones  and  Troisi  are  starting  their  Bucknell 
service  this  3'ear. 

The  idea  of  a  guidance  workshop  instead 
of  the  traditional  institute  promises  to  be  an 
interesting  and  effective  educational  pro- 
gram. 

The  same  team  will  conduct  a  guidance 
workshop  in  the  1955  Bucknell  Summer 
School  and  will  bring  in  addition  special- 
ists in  the  field.

Stan  Purdy  '48  Writes  for 
Mickey  Spillane  Movie 

It  seems  that  Mickey  Spillane  and  his 
cohorts  use  the  ingenuity  of  a  Bucknellian 
to  make  their  newest  film  effort  a  success. 
Stanley  A.  Purdy,  Jr.  '48  has  completed  the 
cornposition  of  background  music  for  the 
"Ring  of  Fear,"  now  being  shown  at  your 
favorite  cinema  showplace.  Two  main  themes 
penetrate  the  plot  and  action,  Stan  tells  us.

These  are  the  "Velda"  and  "Mike  Hammer" 
themes. 

This  doesn't  end  the  story,  however.  A 
record  album  of  these  themes  was  released 
in  October  through  Columbia  Records  and 
is  entitled  "Mickey  Spillane's  Mike  Ham- 
mer Story."  Stan  was  composer,  arranger 
and  conductor  for  the  album.  He  was  a 
dean's  list  student  when  working  for  his 
A.B.  in  music,  also  was  accomi)anist  and 
piano  soloist  for  the  Men's  Glee  Club  and 
was  awarded  the  Aviragnet  Prize  when  he 
graduated.

SPORTS 


Back  to  BuckneU — Captain  John  Chironna,  Westfleld,  N.  J.,  receiving  the  Old  Shoe,  traditional 
emblem  of  football  superiority  in  the  Bucknell-Temple  rivalry,  from  Dr.  G.  D.  Tinunons,  dean 
of  the  Temple  School  of  Dentistry,  originator  of  the  trophy,  at  the  Quarterback  Club  dinner. 


Bison  Herd  Builds  6-3  Record 

Despite  three  losses  in  their  last  four 
contests  Bucknell's  football  Bisons  com- 
pleted the  1954  season  with  a  fine  6-3 
record.  The  gridders  opened  the  cam- 
paign with  five  successive  triumphs. 

The  Bisons  generated  plenty  of  power, 
especially  on  the  ground.  Final  Eastern 
Intercollegiate  Football  Association  fig- 
ures showed  that  the  Bucknellians  rolled 
2169  yards  in  nine  games,  an  average  of 
241  yards  rushing  per  game.  This  fine 
figure  placed  the  Bisons  fifth  in  the  East 
in  that  category. 

Bob  Ford,  the  thundering  fullback, 
paced  his  inates  in  ball-toting  throughout 
the  campaign  and  finished  No.  6  in  the 
East  in  yards  gained.  Ford  will  be  back 
in  Bucknell  livery  again  next  fall,  and  may 
better  his  1954  average  of  4.6  yards  per 
carry. 

Bisons  who  gained  post-season  notoriety 
by  being  selected  to  the  various  all-col- 
legiate teams  selected  by  coaches  and 
writers  were  Ford,  guard  John  Chironna, 
end  Rich  Klaber,  guard  Hank  Popek, 
tackle  Ron  Lloyd,  quarterback  Jim  Stew- 
art and  punter  Ron  Hendricks.  The  latter 
was  No.  4  in  the  East  in  his  specialty  with 
a  36.1  yard  average. 

Smashing  victories  over  Muhlenberg 
33-13,  Gettysburg  29-0,  Lehigh  48-46,  and 
Temple  27-0  were  reported  in  the  Novem- 
ber issue  of  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUM- 
NUS. The  remaining  games  shaped  up 
this  way: 

LAFAYETTE — It  was  Homecoming 
Game  at  Lewisburg  and  the  Bisons  sent 
everyone  home  happy  as  they  rolled  to 
their  fifth  straight  win,  7-0.  With  star 
guard  Chironna  missing  the  only  game  of 
his  Bucknell  career,  the  host  team  was 
hard  pressed  from  start  to  finish.  Four 
timely  pass  interceptions  helped  consider- 
ably, however,  and  the  locals  were  able  to 
make  their  first  period  score  stand  up 
throughout. 

BOSTON  U.— Costly  fumbles  proved 
too  much  for  the  Bisons  to  overcome,  as 
they  dropped  their  first  verdict  of  the  sea- 
son    20-7.      Terrier     fullback     Sam    Pino 

10 


trudged  150  yards  through  the  mud  to 
spark  a  second  half  BU  attack  that  dumped 
Bucknell  from  the  undefeated  class. 

COLGATE — A  surprising  Bucknell  air 
attack  threw  a  scare  into  the  then  unde- 
feated Red  Raiders,  but  they  fought  back 
with  two  second  half  touchdowns  to  hand 
the  Bisons  their  second  straight  defeat, 
20-14.  Loss  of  halfback  Bob  Sierer  for 
most  of  the  second  half  hurt  the  underdog 
Bucknellians. 

ALBRIGHT— Boy  Scout  day  at  Lewis- 
burg saw  the  Bisons  returning  to  the  vic- 
tory trail  with  a  lop-sided  27-0  conquest  of 
.•\lbright.  Bucknell  moved  the  ball  almost 
at  will  early  in  the  game  and  led  20-0  at 
the  end  of  the  first  quarter.  Harry  Law- 
rence turned  his  reserves  loose  from  there 
on  in. 

DELAWARE— A  keyed-up  Blue  Hen 
team  handed  Bucknell  its  only  severe  set- 
back of  the  season,  blanking  the  Bisons 
20-0  in  the  campaign  finale.  A  downpour 
of  rain  didn't  dampen  the-  spirits  of  the 
Refrigerator  Bowl-bound  Delaware  per- 
formers. Led  by  quarterback  Don  Miller, 
who  tossed  the  36th  touchdown  pass  of 
his  career,  the  Blue  Hens  moved  to  a 
relatively  easy  victory. 


Sophs  Strengthen  Basketeers 

With  his  rebuilding  program  about  one- 
half  completed.  Coach  Ben  Kribbs  has 
floored  a  1954-55  basketball  team  that  is 
definitely  an  improvement  over  last  year's 
combination.  The  Bisons  proved  this 
opening  night  with  a  fine  102-87  win  over 
Albright  in  Davis  gym. 

The  quintet  is  composed  mostly  of 
sophomores,  however,  and  lacks  experi- 
ence, height  and  depth.  The  Thundering 
Herd  will  not  win  all  of  its  games  by  a 
long  shot,  but  it  will  be  a  scrappy  club 
that  is  interesting  to  watch.  The  Kribbs- 
men  are  loaded  with  speed,  and  they  can 
cause  trouble  for  an  opponent  on  any  given 
evening.  It  is  certainly  safe  to  say  that 
the  team  will  improve  on  last  winter's 
4-16  season  record. 

Coach    Kribbs   has   a    nucleus   of   seven 


players — sophs  Joe  Baccelli,  John  Beatty, 
Norm  Voorhees,  Mike  Corrigan,  Marty 
Tannenbaum  and  Al  Kenzie,  and  senior 
Dick  Bradway.  Baccelli's  uncanny  shoot- 
ing in  the  Albright  contest — nine  of  ten 
from  the  field  and  13  of  14  from  the  foul 
line — added  up  to  31  points  and  one  of  the 
finest  individual  performances  seen  at 
Lewisburg  in  some  time.

strides  our  school  has  taken  in  physical 
improvements. 

Mai  told  us  of  the  need  for  endowment, 
and  asked  our  support  of  the  Alumni 
Fund.  He  made  us  proud  of  our  Alma 
Mater  as  he  told  us  of  the  high  scholastic 
standing,  and  the  splendid  guidance  cen- 
ter now  on  the  campus.  He  filled  us  with 
enthusiasm,  and  made  us  all  hope  that  Mai 
will  return  again  soon.

HJf^ 


We  are  pleased  to  announce  the  publica- 
tion of  a  new  "Handbook  for  Alumni  Club 
Officers." 

This  new  edition,  a  copy  of  which  has 
already  been  sent  to  each  of  the  sixty-five 
alumni  club  presidents,  with  the  request  that 
they  study  its  contents  with  the  entire  officer 
staff,  has  been  prepared  by  a  committee  of 
experienced  alumni  club  officers.  The  com- 
mittee appointed  in  March  1953  consisted  of 
William  S.  Liming  '33,  Long  Island,  Chair- 
man ;  Joseph  T.  Quick  '38,  Trenton ;  Camp- 
bell Rutledge,  Jr.  '33,  Corning ;  Gladys  S. 
Murray  '31,  Philadelphia  and  J.  Dudley 
Waldner  '46,  Montclair.  The  committee  has 
worked  diligently  to  produce  a  handy  and 
helpful  outline  of  suggestions  on  how  to 
form  an  alumni  club  and  how  to  keep  it 
functioning  in  the  best  interests  of  the  alum- 
ni and  the  university. 

There  are  a  few  extra  copies  available 
for  general  distribution.  They  can  be  had 
on  a  first  come,  first  served  basis  by  writing 
the  alumni  office. 


prospective  freshmen  (now  the  t'lass  of 
'58)  and  many  little  future  Bucknellians. 
Everyone  enjoyed  himself  thoroughly, 
eating,  talking,  pitching  quoits,  playing 
baseball,  badminton,  etc.  The  highlight 
of  the  day  for  the  younger  ones  was  a  ride 
in  a  large  hay  wagon  driven  by  Joe. 

Prospective  freshmen  met  each  other 
as  well  as  the  alums,  a  few  bills  were  paid, 
and  a  I'ebruary  get  together  was  sched- 
uled— the  Annual  Dinner  Meeting.

PHILADELPHIA— Many  Bucknellians 
and  friends  of  Bucknell  enjoyed  a  delicious 
lunch  at  the  Cedar  Brook  Country  Club, 
then  went  on  to  help  cheer  the  Bisons  to 
victory  at  the  Temple  Stadium  on  October 
16.  1954. 

The  Philadelphia  Club  is  now  planning  its 
annual  dinner  for  Friday  evening,  Febru- 
ary 4,  1955  at  McCallister's.  Our  new  uni- 
versity president.  Dr.  Merle  M.  Odgers,  will 
be  our  guest  of  honor.  We  expect  to  make 
this  another  evening  filled  with  Bucknell 
fellowship. 

Remember  also  to  put  the  date  Saturday, 
May  21,  1955  in  your  date  book — the  Spring 
Dance  at  the  Merion  Tribute  House.

SOUTH  JERSEY— About  62  Alumni  and 
friends  turned  out  for  the  dance  November 
12  at  the  Woodbury  Country  Club.  Music 
was  provided  by  Bart  Dutton  and  his 
orchestra.  Later  in  the  evening  refresh- 
ments were  served.  Nine  Alumni  con- 
tributed to  make  the  feast  ever  so  delicious. 
Door  prizes  were  also  in  abundance.  These 
too  were  contributed  to  our  affair  by 
Alumni. 

Special  chain  letters  were  mailed  to  mem- 
bers of  each  class  prior  to  our  dance.  The 
class  which  made  the  rounds  and  returned 
its  letter  to  the  Publicity  Chairman,  Richard 
M.  Gray  '42,  the  fastest  was  to  receive  a 
prize.  The  Class  of  1913  and  1914  won  with 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Marwood  B.  Glover,  who 
were  then  presented  special  crowns  to  com- 
memorate the  occasion.  The  letters  of  the 
Class  of  1949  were  lost  somewhere  in  their 
passing  and  thus  all  '49-ers  in  attendance 
were  awarded  dunce  caps  to  wear. 

Our  next  meeting  is  scheduled  for  Tues- 
day, February  8  because  the  Bucknell  Men's 
Glee  Club  will  be  coming  to  Haddonfield. 
Instead  of  a  dinner  meeting,  we  are  plan- 
ning to  have  a  reception  immediately  after 
the  concert  for  all  Alumni  and  friends  who 
are  present.  At  that  time  we  shall  have 
refreshments,  including  the  cutting  of  Buck- 
nell's  birthday  cake.  Another  important 
event  to  take  place  at  this  gathering  will  be 
the  election  of  new  officers.

PROVIDENCE— Alumni  from  the  Provi- 
dence area  began  their  1954-55  season  with 
a  dinner  meeting  at  the  Faculty  Club  of 
Brown  University  on  November   12. 

Following  dinner,  plans  were  formulated 
for  our  annual  Birthday  Party  on  February 
5.  Also  discussed  were  various  ideas  for 
increasing  attendance  at  meetings. 

After  the  meeting  everyone  of  the  small 
group  attending  seemed  in  a  reminiscent 
mood  and  many  humorous  as  well  as  serious 
memories  of  the  three  hundred  acres  were 
exchanged.

LAMBDA  CHI  ALPHA  OPENS  NEW  HOUSE

Another  milestone  in  the  establishment  of 
a  "Fraternity  Row"  on  the  top  of  the  Hill 
was  achieved  with  the  formal  opening  of 
the  new  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  house  at  Home- 
coming, October  23.  The  celebration  was  in 
the  form  of  a  dinner  in  the  new  quarters 
for  almost  300  alumni  and  active  members. 

The  acre  plot  on  which  "The  Stone  House 
on  the  Hill"  is  constructed  was  made  avail- 
able through  the  kindness  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
William  Strohecker  who  were  willing  to  sell 
a  share  of  their  valuable  farm,  so  that  "Fra- 
ternity Row"  could  become  a  reality. 

The  house,  built  of  stone  dragged  from 
the  mountains  of  Buffalo  Valley  and  rough- 
hewn  and  dressed  on  the  site,  stands  on  the 
high  point  of  the  campus  and  looks  out  at 
the  new  library,  the  engineering  building,  the 
Delta  Upsilon  fraternity,  over  the  stadium 
and  beyond  to  the  beautiful  vista  of  Buffalo 
Valley.  From  the  rear,  the  view  includes 
the  Susquehanna  River  and  the  surrounding 
mountains;  off  to  the  right  Blue  Hill,  direct- 
ly ahead  "old  Montour,"  and  off  to  the  left 
the  Muncy  Hills. 

Malcolm  A.  dinger  '26,  a  member  of  the 
chapter,  was  the  architect  of  the  building 
which  features  spacious  living  areas  and  em- 
phasizes masculine  appointments.  The  main 
lounge  spreads  out  over  the  entire  width  of 
the  building  and  includes  a  massive  fireplace 
with  a  cutstone  mantel.  To  the  left  of  the 
entrance  is  a  fumed  oak  dining  room  to 
serve  70  people,  with  the  electrically  equipped 
kitchen  and  living  quarters  for  the  help  to 
the  rear.  Also  in  the  rear  wing  is  the  Me- 
morial Library  which  includes  an  open  fire- 
place of  Nantucket  brick  extending  from 
floor    to   ceiling,    built    in    trophy   and   book 


shelves  and  provision  for  memorials  to  be 
dedicated  at  a  later  ceremony.  In  the  L 
formed  by  the  main  lounge  and  tire  library 
there  is  a  fiag-stone  terrace  bounded  by  a 
bench-high  capstoned  wall.  The  second  floor 
provides  for  nine  study  rooms,  each  equipped 
with  ample  facilities  for  four  men,  while  the 
third  floor  is  devoted  to  dormitory  facilities 
with  sleeping  accommodations  for  60  men. 

The  house-opening  celebration  on  Home- 
coming Weekend  was  not  designed  as  dedica- 
tory exercises  which  will  be  held  at  a  later 
date,  but  was  planned  to  recognize  the  tmtir- 
ing  efforts  of  those  responsible  for  the  plan- 
ning and  building  stage  of  the  project.  The 
completed  house  represents  the  combined  ef- 
forts of  many  willing  hands  not  all  of  whom 
can  be  mentioned  here.  Serving  on  the  build- 
ing and  finance  committee  are :  Guy  W. 
Bailey   '26,   Malcolm  A.   dinger  '26,   David 

A.  McNeal  '12,  Clair  G.  Groover  '15,  Rob- 
ert J.  Haberstroh  '22,  Clarence  O.  Hartman 
'16,  Robert  L.  Hulsizer  '21,  Thomas  S.  "Si" 
Morgan  '21,  William  G.  Thomas  '43,  A. 
Thomas  Wilson  '47,  and  Donald  B.  Yoimg 
'ii.     The  house  was  constructed  by  Wilbur 

B.  Boyer,  contractor,  of  Northumberland, 
with  Frank  Zimmerman,  a  Lambda  Chi  Al- 
pha member  at  F.  &  M.,  in  charge  of  super- 
vision. 

Robert  J.  Haberstroh  served  as  toastmas- 
ter  at  the  dinner  and  the  Rev.  John  H.  Ehr- 
hart,  a  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  member  from  Get- 
tysburg College,  who  is  pastor  of  St.  John's 
Evangelical  and  Lutheran  Church,  Lewis- 
burg,  delivered  the  address  recognizing  the 
accomplishments  of  the  project.  The  official 
dedication  and  presentation  of  memorials

Bucknell's  "Baby  Boom" 

The  "baby  boom"  is  continuing  among 
college  graduates  in  the  United  States.  This 
is  the  latest  report  from  the  Population  Ref- 
erence Bureau  of  Washington.  D.  C,  at  the 
conclusion  of  its  ninth  year  of  study  of  grad- 
uates' birth  rates  in  which  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity has  participated. 

Unfortunately,  as  found  elsewhere  in  the 
United  States,  our  graduates'  families  are 
too  small.  However,  the  fertility  of  recent 
graduates  has  increased  every  year  since 
1946.  when  the  college  study  began.  Mar- 
ried graduates  of  the  class  of  1944  already 
average  more  children,  only  10  j'ears  after 
graduation,  than  the  graduates  of  the  Class 
of  1929,  25  years  after  graduation. 

With  15  more  years  of  family  building- 
ahead  of  them,  there  is  even  a  probability 
that  members  of  the  class  of  1944  will  re- 
place themselves  in  the  new  generation.  An 
average  of  2.1  children  per  graduate  is  nec- 
essary to  accomplish  this.  This  is  news — and 
good  news — for  the  birth  rate  of  college 
graduates  has  for  a  long  time  been  far  short 
of  replacement. 

This  year  Bucknell  again  assisted  the  Bu- 
reau in  reviewing  class  birth  rate  records. 
Bucknell's  Class  of  1944,  surveyed  through 
questionnaires  last  winter,  reported  1.6 
children  per  alumnus.  Unhappily,  the 
Bucknell  alumni  of  1944  are  below  the  na- 
tional average  of  1.7  for  the  109  colleges 
where  the  men  of  1944  were  reviewed. 

Among  our  neighbors,  Juniata's  Class  of 
1944  reports  two  children  per  alumnus;  Leb- 
anon Valley  College  averages  1.47  per  man; 
and  Gettj-sburg  College  averages  1.94  per 
man.  Outside  the  state.  Harvard  men  of  '44 
report  1.35  offspring  apiece,  while  Tufts  men 
average  1.48. 

Since  the  College  Study  was  first  under- 
taken in  1946,  the  number  of  children  re- 
ported by  men  and  women  in  their  25th  year 
after  graduation  has  been  low.  Graduates 
of  the  Class  of  1929,  reviewed  this  past  year, 
are  now  near  the  end  of  their  reproductive 
span.  Men  from  121  colleges  average  1.95 
children  per  graduate  and  women  from  131 
colleges  average  only  1.36.  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity's Class  of  1929  reported  only  1.72 
children  per  alumnus  and  but  1.14  per  alum- 
na. With  approximately  2.1  children  per 
graduate  required  for  replacement,  these  men 
fail  to  replace  themselves  by  18  per  cent  and 
the  women  by  46  per  cent. 

The  overall  winner  in  this  past  year's 
"Baby  Sweepstakes"  is  Brigham  Young  Uni- 
versity in  Utah,  which  leads  the  men  and 
women  of  '29  with  3.38  offspring  per  alum- 
nus and  3.78  per  alumna  of  the  class. 

For  many  years  a  trend  toward  smaller 
families  has  been  noted  in  urban-industrial 
societies.  This  decline  in  fertility,  measured 
in  terms  of  income  and  in  terms  of  cduca- 
•i'ln,  has  been  uneven.  People  with  more 
iChf)oling  tend  to  have  fewer  children  than 
people  with  less  education.  In  1940,  the  U. 
S.  cen.sus  showed  that  women  with  I  -4  years 
■  I  schoolini;  averaged  4..33  children  apiece, 
•vhilc  th<-)sc  who  were  college  graduates  aver- 
aged but  1.23.  The  least -educated  group  was 
nearly  doubling  in  a  generation ;  the  most- 
educated  group  was  declining  by  nearly  SO 
|XT  rent. 

In  our  highly  complex  industrial  society, 
lere  is  an  tycr-inrreasing  flemand  for  pco- 
i/!c  of  intelligence  and  advanced  traiin'ng. 
There  is  currently  a  shortage  of  physicians, 
biol'fgists,  teachers,  engineers,  research 
hcmistfi,  physicists  and  olhi-r  professionally 
•rained  jicople  to  meet  the  needs  of  our  ra))id-

The  recent  upward  trend  in  the  birth  rate 
among  the  10-year  graduates  is  encouraging. 
May  it  continue ! 


Fourth  Annual  Bucknell 
Business  Forums 

The  Bucknell  Business  Forum  opened 
in  October  on  the  campus  with  an  address 
by  Dr.  Ralph  Watkins,  director  of  re- 
search for  Dun  and  Bradstreet.  The 
forum,  whose  membership  last  year  to- 
talled more  than  sixty-five  leading  business 
and  industrial  firms  from  central  Pennsyl- 
vania, will  consist  of  five  more  sessions, 
one  each  succeeding  month.  Speakers  at 
these  sessions  will  be  Leonard  J.  Calhoun, 
Washington  attorney  and  consultant  to 
Secretary  Hobby;  Emerson  P.  Schmidt, 
Director  of  Research  for  the  L'.  S.  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce;  Robert  S.  Rice,  Indus- 
trial Production  Editor  for  Factory  Manage- 
ment and  Maintenance  in  New  York  ;  and  AI-

the  Johns-Manville  Corporation. 


University  Course  Now 
Two  Years 

This  semester  a  new  Lhiiversitj'  Course 
has  been  introduced  to  Bucknell  students. 
In  previous  years ' the  course  has  been 
offered  completely  during  one  semester. 
It  has  now  been  extended  over  a  period 
of  two  years  and  has  been  divided  into  the 
classifications  of  logic,  the  sciences,  hu- 
manities,  philosophy  and   the  practical. 

The  course,  a  program  of  integration,  is 
open  to  junior  and  senior  students.  There 
are  no  special  prerequisites.  Throughout 
the  four  semesters,  students  examine  the 
major  fields  of  human  knowledge  and 
discuss  their  basic  differences  and  inter- 
relationships. The  physical,  social,  and 
biological  sciences  are  studied  along  with 
some  problems  and  central  principles 
applying  to  them. 

Students  will  hear  lectures  from  guest 
speakers,  as  well  as  from  members  of  the 
faculty.  Directors  of  the  program  include 
Dr.  Harry  Garvin  from  the  English  de- 
partment. Dr.  Francis  Martin,  Dr.  Irving 
r^olonoff,  and  Dr.  Preston  Warren  from 
the   philosophy   department. 


Bucknell  Scholars'  Club 
Rounds  Out  Schedule 

An  interesting  organization  on  campus 
that  may  not  be  known  by  all  alunmi  is 
the  Bucknell  .Scholars'  Club  organized  in 
1938.  The  club's  program  for  '54-'55  has 
been  set  up  and  three  sessions  have  al- 
ready been  held.  For  the  benefit  of  those 
who  are  unfamiliar  with  the  organization, 
Dr.  fJlijihant  of  the  history  department 
prepared  the  following  stalenicnt  wliicli 
we  now  quote : 

"The  inff)rmal  organization  comnujiily 
called  The  Bucknell  Scholars  has  been 
operating  since  the  s|)ring  of  1938.  In 
several  ways  this  organizalion  is  distinc- 
tive. It  has  no  fixed  constitution,  no  cer- 
tain membership,  and  lU)  visible  niean.s  of 
s»p|K.irt,  Its  procedures  have  been  _  estab- 
lished  by   custom.     Its   membership   con- 


sists of  such  faculty  members  as  are  pres- 
ent when  it  is  in  session.  Its  small  over- 
head expense  is  taken  care  of  by  the  busi- 
ness acumen  of  its  program  committee. 
It  has  no  archives,  no  filing  cases,  and  no 
vice  presidents. 

"By  common  consent,  meetings  of  this 
organization  are  held  eight  times  during 
the  academic  year,  the  first  one  in  October 
and  the  last  one  in  May.  At  the  May 
meeting  a  committee  of  two  is  elected  to 
take  charge  of  the  program  for  the  ensuing 
year  and  to  see  to  it  that  each  member  of 
the  faculty  receives  a  written  notice  of 
each  meeting.  Every  faculty  member  is 
cordially  invited  to  attend  these  meetings. 
Ordinarily  a  meeting  is  preceded  by  a 
dinner,  which,  unhappily,  is  not  free. 

"At  each  meeting  a  faculty  member 
reads  a  paper  or  otherwise  reports  on  a 
subject  or  a  project  that  he  has  investigat- 
ed. It  was  the  hope  of  those  who  founded 
this  organization  that  they  were  bringing 
into  being  a  forum  which,  when  requested 
to  do  so,  would  pass  critical  judgment  on 
the  scholarly  papers  of  the  faculty  mem- 
bers before  such  papers  were  offered  for 
publication." 

Faculty  members  who  spoke  in  the  Fall 
were,  Dr.  Harold  Heine,  chemistry  de- 
partment, whose  topic  was  "Some  Recent 
Advances  in  Cancer  Therapy;"  Dr.  Hulda 
Magalhaes,  biology  department,  who 
spoke  on  "The  Golden  Hamster  as  a 
Laboratory  Animal — The  First  Two  Dec- 
ades;" and  Dr.  George  Irland,  of  the  engi- 
neering department.  During  the  remain- 
ing sessions,  the  Scholars  will  hear  the 
new  art  department  member,  Prof.  George 
Hersey,  speak  on  the  preservation  of 
Lewisburg  architecture;  Senorita  Beatrice 
Gonzalas,  who  will  talk  of  her  year  in 
Spain  from  which  she  returned  in  Septem- 
ber to  the  Spanish  department;  Dr.  Har- 
vey Powers,  drama  professor  and  adviser; 
Prof.  John  F.  Zeller,  III,  political  science 
department  and  Lewisburg  attorney;  and 
Dr.  William  Smith,  of  the  mathematics 
department. 


Graduate  Scholarships 
Available 

Bucknell  students  and  faculty  arc  present- 
ed with  the  opportunity  of  applying  for  many

Tasker,  chairman  of  the  committee  for  the 
Encouragement  of  Graduate  Study  and  Re- 
search, has  reminded  us.  In  addition  to  schol- 
arships offered  by  particular  institutions,  the 
following  broad  scope  opi>"''tiiiiilics  are  avail-

Bond  Family  Reunion 

Just  try  matching  this  group  with  any  oth- 
er Bucknell  family  and  you  will  find  that  here 
is  surely  a  generous  gathering  of  Bucknel- 
lians.  Together  for  the  first  time  in  quite 
a  few  years.  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Charles  M.  Bond 
and  their  children  held  a  family  reunion  at 
their  home  in  Lewisburg  this  past  May. 

Let's  look  into  this  happy  gathering  and 
say  hello  to  the  Bond  family — many  of  them 


Bucknellians.  Starting  on  the  near  left  with 
the  little  blonde  cupie  doll  and  moving  back- 
wards, we  have  first  the  Edward  N.  Peck 
family  (Maribeth  Bond  '43).  They  have 
just  returned  from  eight  years  in  Hawaii 
where  Rev.  Peck  was  pastor  of  Wahiawa 
Community  Methodist  Church  on  the  island 
of  Oahu.  He  has  now  accepted  the  pastor- 
ate of  Rosewood  Methodist  Church  in  Los 
Angeles,  Calif.  Surrounding  them  on  the 
picture  are  their  three  children :  Deborah, 
David,  and  Barbara. 

Moving  clockwise  around  the  table  we  meet 
Miss  Anna  Bond  of  West  Chester,  niece  of 
Dr.  Charles  M.;  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Henry  Bond 
of  Philippi,  W.  Va.,  son  and  daughter-in- 
law  ;  and  Dr.  Bond's  brother  and  sister-in- 
law,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  William  P.  Bond. 

At  the  tablehead.  Dr.  Charles  M.  Bond, 
professor  of  Religion  at  Bucknell,  has  to  his 
left  his  son  Professor  Charles  F.  Bond  '42 
now  assistant  professor  of  zoology  at  the 
University  of  Vermont.  His  wife  (Amy  L. 
Stevenson  '44),  and  their  children  Charles 
S.  and  Betsy  are  with  him.  Next  to  Amy  sit 
the  Norman  Ganos  (Barbara  J.  Bond  '47), 
interim  pastor  of  the  Picture  Rocks  Baptist 
Church,  who  is  also  attending  Crozer  Theol- 
ogical  Seminary  for  special  work. 

Immediately  to  the  right  of  Mrs.  Charles 
M.  Bond  in  the  foreground  is  part  of  the 
William  E.  Bond  '45  family.  (Marjorie  E. 
Hudson  '46).  Not  shown  is  Bill  who  played 
photographer  for  this  important  event.  15111 
is  with  the  Bell  Aircraft  Company  in  Buf- 
falo where  he  and  Marjorie  live  with  their 
children,  William  R.  and  Linda. 

There  you  have  it.  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Bond 
truly  had  a  reunion  that  both  they  and  the 
Bucknell  family  enjoyed. 


Catching  Up  With  the 
LeMons 

A  family  of  Bucknellians  has  recently 
answered  our  call  for  news  of  them  and 
we  find  that  the  LeMons  of  Aurora,  N.  Y. 
are  just  as  busy  as  ever.  Head  of  the  fam- 
ily. Dr.  Melvin  LeMon,  was  associate  pro- 
fessor of  music  at  Bucknell  from  1932-43 
and  since  then  has  been  in  his  present  posi- 
tion of  director  of  music  at  Wells  College, 

14 


Aurora.  At  present  he  is  writing  a  folk 
opera  which  he  hopes  to  produce  in  a  joint 
venture  with  one  of  the  New  England  men's 
colleges  in  another  year. 

His  wife,  Jane  Orwig  LeMon  '35  is  chair- 
man of  the  English  department  and  librarian 
at  King  Ferry  Central  School,  N.  Y.  Active 
in  many  state  and  county  educational  activi- 
ties. Jane  has  just  completed  work  for  her 
Master's  degree  at  Cornell  University. 

Youngest  member  of  this  Bucknell  family 
is  son  M.  William  LeMon  '54.  Bill  worked 
this  past  summer  as  script-writer  for  Radio 
Station  WGVA  in  Geneva.  N.  Y.  and  is  at 
present  attending  graduate  school  at  Syra- 
cuse University  for  his  M.S.  degree  in  Radio 
and  Television.  He  can  be  reached  at  Apt. 
26,  Marshall  Apts..  728  Crouse  Ave.,  Syra- 
cuse, N.  Y. 

Jane,  who  wrote  to  us,  says  that  many  ex- 
Bucknell  Glee  Club  and  Band  members  write 
to  them,  directing  their  correspondence  to 
Lewisburg.  li  you  are  one  of  these,  you 
can  be  sure  of  reaching  the  LeMons,  c/o 
Wells  College.  Aurora,  N.  Y. 

Hats  ofif  to  the  LeMons,  another  active 
link  in  the  ever-growing  Bucknell  family 
chain.

Robert  Shaffer  '42  Accepts 
New  Post 

Since  the  first  of  September,  Robert  O. 
Shaffer  '42  has  been  connected  with  Rohrer, 
Hibler  &  Replogle  of  Chicago  as  consulting 
psychologist.  Bob  says  the  work,  which  in 
detail  is  the  attempt  to  develop  individuals 
for  top  management  positions  in  corpora- 
tions, is  fascinating.  His  firm  is  one  of  the 
very  iev:  using  a  clinical  approach.  It  does 
sound  fascinating,  Bob ! 

Previous  to  the  new  position.  Bob  was 
dean  of  students  at  Oswego  State  Teachers 
College  (N.  Y.)  since  1952  before  which 
time  he  was  assistant  to  the  president  at 
Cornell  L'niversity.  It  was  from  Cornel! 
that  he  received  his  M.S.  in  Education  in 
1948  and  Ph.D.  in  1951. 

During  World  War  II,  Bob  spent  four 
Navy  years  as  an  aviator,  test  pilot,  and  en- 
gineering officer. 

The  Shaffers,  (Mrs.  Shaffer  is  the  former 
Marilyn  Eppley  '43)  now  live  at  2500  Haw- 
thorne Road  in  Homewood,  Illinois  with 
their  two  daughters,  Deborah,  4,  and  Ally- 
son,  2. 


Walter  A.  Miller.  Jr.  '43  assumed  on  the 
first  of  this  year,  1955,  the  position  of  Su- 
perintendent of  Public  Schools  in  Bergen,

superintendent  of  schools  in  Dunellen,  N.  J. 
Now  working  with  a  staff  of  250,  Walt 
has  reached  this  height  in  his  career  after 
a  number  of  years  of  experience  in  education. 
Formerly  teaching  in  junior  and  senior  high 
schools  in  his  home  town  of  Shamokin,  he 
later  switched  to  administrative  work.

ganizations, Walt  earned  his  bachelor's  de- 
gree from  Susquehanna  University  in  1936, 
his  M.S.  in  Education  from  Bucknell  in 
1943. 


Musical  Organizations  to 
Tour 

In  addition  to  the  tours  of  the  Women's 
and  Men's  Glee  Clubs  (see  pages  12,  25) 
other  campus  musicians  will  present  off 
campus  concerts  during  early   1955. 

The  Bucknell  University  Band,  directed 
by  Allen  W.  Flock,  will  go  on  tour  for  the 
first  time  in  its  history.  The  tentative  sched- 
ule for  February  23  until  February  25  in- 
cludes Harrisburg.  York,  Wayne,  Springfield, 
and  Norristown.  Pa.  and  Collingswood,  N.  J. 

The  band  has  been  commended  highly  for 
its  clever  formations  and  excellent  march- 
ing at  football  games.  The  formations, 
which  are  student-created,  included  "School 
Days,"  a  salute  to  the  various  departments 
of  a  university ;  a  salute  to  Glenn  Miller  in 
which  the  formations  represeiited  some  of 
his  most  famous  songs ;  and  a  "Trip  to 
Europe"  in  honor  of  the  U.  S.  Army  Ambu- 
lance Corps. 

The  Bucknell  University  Chapel  Choir, 
in  addition  to  its  weekly  chapel  programs, 
presented  several  local  concerts,  under  the 
direction  of  William  D.  MacRae.  The  first 
appearance  was  at  the  Pennsylvania  State 
Baptist  Convention  in  Wilkes-Barre  on  Oc- 
tober 24.  The  fall  tour  in  November  in- 
cluded concerts  in  Linesville,  Zelienople,  Mc- 
Keesport,  and  Brentwood,  Pa.,  and  a  radio 
broadcast  in  Altoona.  On  December  3.  they 
sang  for  the  Pennsylvania  Music  Educators 
Association  in  the  Forum  in  Harrisburg.  One 
of  their  annual  concerts  was  a  complete  pro- 
gram of  Christmas  music  for  the  Christmas 
Chapel  service.  The  choir  is  planning  sev- 
eral local  concerts  and  two  tours  for  the 
second  semester  this  year.  The  tours  will 
include  the  metropolitan  New  York  area  in 
March  and  the  Philadelphia  and  Haddon- 
field,  N.  J.  area  in  April.

men on  November  8  on  the  Bucknell 
campus.  Her  talk  was  entitled  "To 
the  Shores  of  Tripoli"  and  gave  im- 
pressions gained  during  her  recent  trav- 
els abroad. 

Franklin  R.  Strayer  '94,  teacher  of

In  addition  to  his  work  at  Cornell  he 
had  taught  at  various  Pa.,  N.  J.,  and 
N.  Y.  high  schools.  He  retired  in  1926. 
He  attended  the  Academy  in  1888-90 
and  was  awarded  the  B.A.  degree,  sum- 
ma  cum  laude,  from  Bucknell  in  1894. 

Webster  W.  Irvin  '96  died  of  a  heart 
attack  September  6.  He  had  retired

survived  by  his  wife  and  three  sons. 

Mrs.  A.  W.  Stephens  '96,  the  former 
Gertrude  Overbold,  widow  of  Albert 
Woodward  Stephens,  passed  away  in  a 
Philadelphia  Hospital  on  March  13, 
1954.  Mr.  Stephens  died  in  1941  after  a 
long  career  in  agriculture.  Dr.  Anna 
O.  Stephens  '26,  a  daughter,  died  at 
State  College  in  June  19.53. 

Mr.  William  C.  Purdy  '99,  who  gave  a 
life  time  of  service  as  a  plankton  ex- 
pert in  the  U.  S.  Public  Health  Service, 
died  on  July  15,  1954.  Even  after  re- 
tiring in  1941  he  continued  his  interest 
in  purification  of  water  in  the  rivers 
of  the  United  States.  Mr.  Purdy  is  sur- 
vived by  two  daughters  to  whom  the 
sincere  sympathy  of  the  University  is 
extended. 

Oscar  R.  LeVan  '99  has  been  hospital- 
ized at  the  Veterans'  Hospital,  Lebanon, 
for  removal  of  his  leg  above  the  knee. 
He  is  now  doing  fine.

Ernest  A.  Sterling,  who  roomed  with 
Christy  Mathewson  while  at  Bucknell, 
died  early  in  September  at  his  home 
in  Montrose.  He  was  76.  A  nationally 
known  consulting  forest  and  timber  en- 
gineer, he  was  a  past  president  of  the 
American  Forestry  Association. 

Dr.  and  Mrs.  Lewis  E.  Theiss  attend- 
ed the  45th  annual  meeting  of  the  Nut 
Growers  Association  held  in  Lancaster 
this  fall.  Dr.  Theiss  addressed  the  ses- 
sion, speaking  on  the  topic  "Nut  Trees 
in  Landscaping". 

Dr.  Lewis  E.  Theiss  of  Lewisburg,  re- 
tired member  of  the  Bucknell  Univer- 
sity faculty,  presented  the  Bucknell  Li- 
brary with  the  manuscript  of  his  book 
"With  Bruce  on  the  Indian  Frontier" 
which  was  requested  to  add  to  the  grow- 
ing and  valuable  collection  of  his  work. 
After  writing  a  story  on  flying  at  about 
the  time  of  Lindbergh's  flight,  the  de- 
mand came  for  more  flying  stories — 
until  he  wrote  26  of  them.  Then  his 
work  was  interrupted  by  the  selection 
of  Dr.  Theiss  to  compile  a  history  of 
Bucknell  on  the  occasion  of  its  100th 
anniversary  in  1946. 

Dr.  Theiss  has  written  for  more  than 
40  national  magazines,  and  he  was  just 
recently  selected  to  write  the  editorial 
for  the  first  issue  of  a  publication  being 
launched  by  the  Lycoming  County  His-

Harold  N.  Cole,  M.D.  (Bucknell  'OG), 
is  retiring  from  practice  after  forty-five 
years.     He  became  Emeritus  Professor 

15 


of  Dermatology  and  Syphilology  at 
Western  Reserve  Medical  School  in 
1952.  Doctor  and  Mrs.  Cole  have  three 
children,  Junior  being  also  a  physician, 
and  eight  grandchildren. 

Dr.  W.  Eugene  DeMelt  died  Septem- 
ber 14  at  the  Soldiers  and  Sailors  Me- 
morial Hospital  in  Penn  Yan,  New 
York  at  the  age  of  82  years.  Dr.  De- 
Melt  had  spent  a  life-time  in  education, 
having  served  as  principal  and  super- 
intendent of  Schools  in  Penn  Yan.  He 
resigned  to  take  graduate  study  at  the 
University  of  Toronto,  earning  the  de- 
gree of  Doctor  of  Pedagogy  in  1928.  He 
later  joined  the  faculty  of  the  South- 
ern College,  Lakeland,  Florida,  retiring 
in  1952.  He  is  survived  by  his  wife, 
the  former  Beatrice  Horton,  a  son,  Wil- 
liam E.  DeMelt,  Jr.,  M.A.  '49  of  Lake- 
land, Fla.  and  a  sister,  Mrs.  Cecilia

Another  reminder  that  "our  lives  are 
like  the  shadows  on  sunlit  hills  that 
lie."  Lawrence  O.  Manley  died  suddenly 
on  November  11,  being  taken  by  a 
heart  attack  on  his  way  to  work.  "Doc", 
as  we  all  called  him  in  college,  was 
known  there  as  a  whiz  in  math  and  as 
deserving  his  nickname  by  being  heal- 
er in  general  to  all  East  Wingers.  A 
Bradford  County  boy,  he  was  one  of 
that  fine  group  which  Canton  in  those 
days  was  sending  to  Bucknell.  Son  of 
a  well-known  physician,  he  was  advised 
by  his  father  not  to  go  into  medicine, 
and  after  college  tried  various  fields 
before  finding  his  true  metier.  After 
teaching  in  his  home  town,  he  took  over 
a  fruit  farm  in  Colorado.  He  didn't 
make  a  fortune  farming,  but  he  did 
find  a  treasure,  his  wife  Helen.  While 
there  he  took  the  Pace  course  in  ac- 
countancy, ranking  first  in  the  country 
on  the  final  examinations.  For  some 
time  he  was  a  partner  in  a  Wall  Street 
accounting  firm,  residing  in  Hillside, 
N.  J. 

After  some  years  he  removed  to 
Washington  and  became  a  partner  in  a 
well-known  firm  there.  For  some  years 
he  was  flying  all  over  the  country  on 
special  assignments,  having  become  a 
specialist  in  hospital  accounting.  He 
was  active  in  the  Washington  Alumni 
Club,  serving  as  its  president  and  mak- 
ing substantial  financial  contributions 
to  it. 

For  the  past  several  years  he  has  been 
subject  to  heart  attacks,  but  refused  to 
slow  down  except  under  the  strictest 
doctor's  orders.  When  stricken  he  was 
being  driven  to  his  office  by  his  daugh- 
ter on  a  holiday  when  he  was  not  sup- 
posed to  be  working. 

He  is  survived  by  his  widow,  Helen; 
a  daughter,  Mrs.  John  Krueger  (Louise 
Manley  '32);  a  granddaughter,  Carol 
Krueger  Gibson,  and  a  great  grand- 
child .  .  .  We'll  keep  you  in  our  memo- 
ries. Doc. 

Chauncey  Brockway  is  still  busy  with 
good  works.  He  returned  recently  from 
a  six-week  tour  with  a  mission  repre- 
senting   the    National    Conference    of 

16 


Christians  and  Jews.  The  party  flew 
from  New  York  to  Copenhagen.  They 
visited  Sweden,  East  Berlin  and  Mu- 
nich in  Germany;  Istanbul,  and  Beirut, 
Old  and  New  Jerusalem,  spending 
eleven  days  in  Palestine.  Thence  they 
went  to  Cyprus,  Athens,  Rome,  Geneva, 
Paris  and  London.  Their  time  was 
largely  spent  in  conference  with  lead- 
ing figures  in  politics,  econoinics,  relig- 
ion, and  education.  Chauncey  returned 
almost  exhausted  from  the  physical  ef- 
fort, but  he  felt  it  worthwhile.  Keep 
it  up  Chauncey,  the  world  needs  more 
like  you. 

I'll  have  to  talk  about  myself  a  bit. 
VCR  and  I  spent  July  visiting  kinfolks 
in  Florida.  We  spent  a  grand  week  with 
daughter  Margie  '39  and  husband  John 
Weihing  in  Lakeland.  We  were  prop- 
erly startled  at  the  Frank  Lloyd  Wright 
architecture  at  Florida  Southern  Col- 
lege. We  tried  to  call  on  Gene  DeMelt 
'06,  but  he  was  not  at  home.  We  were 
shocked  later  to  hear  of  his  untimely 
death.  He  had  been  dean  at  Florida 
Southern  for  many  years. 

We  tried  also  to  look  up  David  Rob- 
inson '04,  in  Winter  Park,  but  his  beau- 
tiful residence  was  standing  lonely.  We 
spent  several  fine  days  with  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Harry  Warfel  '20  (Ruth  Farquhar 
'19)  at  Swan  Lake;  they  were  full  of 
their  year  in  Germany.  Since  that  Har- 
ry has  had  a  serious  operation,  from 
which  he  is  now  convalescing.  They 
took  us  to  the  University  at  Gainesville, 
and  we  had  a  pleasant  chat  with  Ralph 
Page,  now  dean  there.  We  couldn't  get 
in  touch  with  Bill  Hinman  '07  at  Floral 
City,  thus  missing  some  big  fish  stories. 
We  went  through  De  Land  fast,  and 
couldn't  make  Tallahassee  and  St.  Pe- 
tei'sburg.  (Time  and  funds  were  lim- 
ited). Friends  there  will  please  not 
shoot  us  on  sight.  One  can't  do  eve- 
rything.

In  September  I  received  a  call  from 
a  lady  in  Williamsport.  She  said  she 
was  "Muff"  Scott,  Alice  Scott's  sister.  I 
quickly  grabbed  a  chair  because  it  was 
just  as  though  someone  had  returned 
from  the  dead.  I  had  never  seen  nor 
heard  of  Alice  since  the  day  we  re- 
ceived our  diplomas.  They  live  at  307 
Euclid  Ave.,  Elmira,  N.  Y.  Alice  teach- 
es English  in  the  high  school  and  lives 
at  307  Euclid  Ave.,  Elmira,  N.  Y. 
"Muff'",  whose  real  name  is  Florence,  is 
controller  for  the  J.  P.  &  M.  Sullivan 
Stores  in  Corning,  Elmira,  and  Wil- 
liamsport. Then  there  is  little  Flor- 
ence about  whom  I  shall  talk  later. 
After  our  lengthy  conversation,  she 
made  me  promise  that  we  would  come 
to  see  them  very  soon. 

The  11th  of  November  was  our  35th 
wedding  anniversary.  Armistice  Day 
"Peace  all  our  lives" — now  Veterans' 
Day.  My  best  beau  asked  me  what  I 
wanted.  I  said,  "Go  to  Elmira  to  see 
the  folks."  The  weather  was  beautiful, 
the  trip  delightful,  and  the  reception 
while  we  were  there  just  out  of  this 
world.  Would  you  believe  that  "Muff" 
served  ine  coffee  each  morning  in  bed? 
That's  just  a  sample  of  the  service  ren- 
dered. I  had  a  notion  to  have  my  pic- 
ture taken  to  send  around  to  the  sur- 
vivors (as  Bob  Meyers  calls  us)  making 
you  believe  I  was  leading  a  very  "ritzy" 
life. 

When  we  were  in  school  Margaret 
Barter,  Violet  Wetterau,  Ruby  Stuck, 
Kathryn  Oldt,  and  I  spent  many  week- 
ends with  Alice  in  Milton.  A  little  wo- 
man, Florence  Kear,  lived  with  them. 
She  came  from  England  when  she  was 
very  young.  She  was  a  friend  of  Alice's 
mother  and  went  to  live  with  them, 
when  they  were  married.  The  mother 
was  not  too  well  so  Florence  was  moth- 
er and  adviser.  When  the  parents 
passed  away,  she  still  took  charge  of 
her  brood,  and  as  she  says  "I'm  proud 
of  my  family." 

JANUARY    1955 


She  will  be  95  in  February.  I  just 
wish  you  could  see  her.  She  prepared 
the  most  wonderful  meals.  Up  early 
every  morning  she  is  right  on  the  job. 
She  moves  faster  than  I  do.  Already 
she  had  her  fruit  cakes  baked  for 
Christmas.  Goes  to  church  regularly. 
She  reminds  me  of  Grandma  Moses. 
Physically  active,  witty,  mentally  alert! 
She  even  remembers  the  things  we  said 
and  did  45  years  ago.  Also  told  me  that 
my  mother  sent  oysters  already  padded 
for  me  to  fry.  I  remembered  then  that 
we  fried  them  in  a  chafing  dish.  We  all 
sneaked  a  pat  of  butter  from  the  table. 
I  imagine  there  was  quite  a  "promen-

They  all  fell  in  love  with  Pop  so  we 
have  been  invited  back.  He  really  did 
behave  beautifully  considering  he  was 
the  only  male  in  this  feminine  outfit. 
When  Ahce  wrote  me,  she  said,  "We 
hope  to  see  you  quite  often  in  between 
but  why  not  make  it  a  habit  to  spend 
your  anniversaries  with  us  each  year." 
Remember  Prexy's  definition  of  habit — 
"An  action  performed  so  frequently 
that  it  becomes  automatic."  I  can  still 
hear  him  in  the  old  chapel  when  he 
called  on  Helen  Levegrood  to  recite.  He 
said  "The  next,  Miss  Levegood,  you 
may  go  on  with  the  next."  Those  were 
pleasant  days  I 

Remember  the  gang  that  came  over 
from  Milton  and  Watsontown?  Rode 
the  street  car  to  the  end  of  the  line, 
walked  across  the  bridge  in  all  kinds 
of  weather.  Then  up  the  hill  for  an 
8  a.  m.  class.  Those  kids  deserved  a 
lot  more  credit  than  we  who  lived  on 
the  campus.

Every  time  I  go  away  someone  comes. 
When  I  was  in  Harrisburg,  Jay  Fleck- 
enstine,  his  wife,  and  grandson  stopped 
to  see  me.  Then  the  day  after  Home- 
coming, I  found  a  note  in  my  door  from 
Lib  and  Red  Lowther  '14.  They  were 
on  their  way  home — stopped  by  to  say 
"Hello."    Just  my  luck.' 

Helen  Levegood,  Margaret  H  a  r  t  e  r, 
and  Olive  Long  all  celebrated  their  35th 
wedding  anniversaries  in  October.  I 
remember  these  especially  as  we  were 
all  married  around  the  same  time.  It's 
an  awful  long  time  to  be  looking  at  the 
same  person,  but  I  suppose  it  works 
both  ways. 

It's  December  8th — my  report  is  due

Attorney  Michael  S.  DePierro,  out- 
standing criminal  lawyer  in  northeast- 
ern Pennsylvania  died  on  October  27 
after  a  three-month  illness.  He  was 
68.  Acknowledged  as  one  of  the  finest 
trial  attorneys  in  the  area,  he  was  ac- 
tive in  debating  while  at  Bucknell,  and 
in  1914  received  his  law  degree  from 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania  Law 
School. 

Surviving  are  his  wife;  one  son, 
Frank,  Hazleton;  and  two  daughters, 
Mrs.  Ernest  Gruen,  Edgewood,  Md.:  and 
Mrs.  Gordon  Guernsey,  Bedford,  Mass. 
Sympathy  of  all  classmates  to  these 
survivors. 

Two  letters  came  my  way  recently 
from  "Prexy"  Howard  Fisher,  business 
letters  to  be  sure  but  mighty  welcome 
just  the  same. 

Your  reporter  called  on  Ben  Harris 
at  the  Veterans'  Administration  head- 
quarters in  Wilkes-Barre.  Really  it  is 
Attorney  Benjamin  Harris,  Esq.  Since 
the  Second  World  War,  Ben  has  been 
on  the  legal  staff  at  Wilkes-Barre.  It 
was  a  visit  of  only  a  few  minutes  but 
ample  for  me  to  observe  enough  to 
tell  all  classmates  that  Ben  is  very 
much  alive  and  vigorously  enthusiastic 
forty-one  years  after.  Asked  why  he 
did  not  appear  at  our  40th  reunion  he 
gaily  retorted,  "Not  old  enough  to  have 
graduated  forty  years  ago."  Ben  was 
a  captain  in  World  War  I,  a  major  in 
World  War  II,  practiced  law  in  Phila- 
delphia in  the  years  between  them. 
A  Lewisburg  boy,  trips  back  home  are 
not  uncommon,  and  so  he  keeps  in 
touch  with  Bucknell's  progress.  Wish 
I  knew  more  details  of  Ben's  active  life 
to  include  here. 

Mrs.  Grace  Miller  (Grace  Rossiter) 
has  retired  from  teaching.  Mrs.  Miller 
resides  at  415  Walnut  St.,  Sunbury. 
Her  subjects  were  English  and  Latin, 
which  she  taught  continuously  since 
1934.  She  also  had  taught  in  Sunbury 
between  1914  and  1920.  Other  places 
where  Mrs.  Miller  served  in  a  teach- 
ing capacity  were  St.  Johnsville,  N. 
Y.,  and  Huntington  Park  High  School, 
near  Los  Angeles,  Calif,  for  a  period  of 
seven  years.  In  addition  to  graduation 
from  Bucknell,  she  studied  at  Colum- 
bia University  and  the  University  of 
California.  Mrs.  M  i  1 1  e  r's  daughter, 
Blanche,  a  graduate  of  Cornell,  is  an 
advertising  assistant  for  Life  Magazine, 
New  York  City. 

Looking  toward  our  45th  and  50th 
reunions  in  1958  and  1963,  assembled 
reunioners  at  our  40th  took  a  positive 
forward  step  to  make  our  next  official 
gatherings  the  biggest,  grandest  ever. 
Among  actions  taken  was  passing  a 
resolution  reading  as  follows:  "To  es- 
tablish a  system  of  dues,  voluntary  but 
desirable,  to  the  extent  of  $5.00  annual- 
ly, bill  (reminder)  to  be  submitted  by 
our  class  treasurer  each  year  some 
weeks  prior  to  the  annual  college  com- 
mencement." Treasurer  Harold  gave 
us  a  respite  in  1954,  but  in  1955  and  sub- 
sequent years  all  of  us  should  expect 
from  the  campus  (Harold  Shaffer  to  be 
explicit)  a  notice  that  dues  are  duly 
due.     And  how  happily  we  shall  remit! 

All  of  the  more  than  1,000  present  at 
the  Alumni  Luncheon  in  '54  saw  the 
25  and  50-.year  reunion  ('lasses  present 
a  money  gift  to  the  alumni  fund  and 
heard  applause  which  almost  raised  the 
roof   of   Davis   gymnasium.    When   our 


50th   rolls   around,    we   hope!    May   we 
live  to  see  the  day!

vision. I  am  balding.  I  look  back  to 
my    days    at   Bucknell    with   pleasure. 

JANUARY    1955 


Thro-nnng  away  all  of  my  textbooks  just 
this  week,  I  noticed  that  some  of  them 
had  not  had  the  pages  slit!" 

Sorry  I  forgot  to  enclose  that  self- 
addressed  postal,  Frank — I'll  buy  you  a 
coke  at  the  next  reunion  for  those  plea- 
sant remarks.     He's  a  frank  Frank. 

Mrs.  Calvin  FoUc  (Elizabeth  Heiss) 
attended  Bucknell  one  semester,  then 
changed  to  the  University  of  Pittsburgh 
to  take  her  degree.  For  those  who 
knew  her,  she  was  graduated  at  Pitts- 
burgh in  1933  and  later  received  an 
M.Ed,  at  the  same  institution. 

She  is  married  to  Calvin  E.  Folk,  su- 
pervisor of  art  in  the  Altoona  schools. 
Her  husband  is  a  graduate  of  Pennsyl- 
vania State  University. 

Mother  of  four  children — Betsy,  10, 
Joe,  8.  Renetta,  5,  and  Jimmy,  six 
months.  Elizabeth  is  a  member  of  AA- 
UW,  officer  of  P.  T.  A.,  board  member 
of  Y.  W.  C.  A.,  and  teacher  at  St.  James 
Lutheran  Church.  She  sounds  like  such 
a  capable  person,  and  we're  sorry  she 
did  not  stay  with  us  longer  so  we  all 
could  have  known  her  better. 

L.  P.  Gilmore,  retired  from  teaching, 
and  he  is  now  a  chemist  at  U.  S.  Ra- 
dium Corporation's  Almedia  Plant.  He 
built  a  ranch  type  house  in  Danville, 
and  is  now  living  in  it. 

Ann  Graybill  "had  a  marvelous  sum- 
mer" studying  at  Harvard.  Eight  hours 
of  graduate  work  in  Social  Relations 
with  David  Riesman  reminded  her  of 
the  year  1933-34  which  she  enjoyed  so 
much  at  Bucknell,  doing  her  Master's 
work  in  Sociology  with  Robert  Suth- 
erland. Some  day  soon  she  hopes  to 
be  able  to  complete  requirements  for  a 
Doctor's  degree,  probably  at  Univer- 
sity of  Pennsylvania  where  she  is  now 
Program  Director  of  the  University 
Christian  Association. 

Henry  W.  Hallett,  209  W.  20th  Street, 
Wilmington,  Del.,  is  chairman  of  the 
Mathematics  Department  of  the  Pierre 
S.  duPont  High  School  in  Wilmington, 
Del.  Twenty-two  years  he's  been  teach- 
ing and  can't  believe  it's  been  that 
long.  We  can't  either!  The  girls  of 
the  class,  I'm  sure,  will  remember  danc- 
ing in  Larison  Hall  after  dinner  in 
the  evening  when  Henry  entertained 
at  the  piano.  Henry  now  owns  and 
teaches  the  Hammond  Organ,  playing 
professionally  in  and  around  Wilming- 
ton. His  hobby?  It's  collecting  long 
playing  records  of  all  types. 

Mrs.  Henry  B.  Hartzler  (Helen  But- 
ler) married  a  graduate  of  Penn  State 
'33  who  is  now  manager  of  the  Bell 
Telephone  Co.  for  his  area  and  mem- 
ber of  the  Coatesville  Rotary  and 
Chamber  of  Commerce. 

They  have  a  son,  11  years  old,  and 
a  daughter,  Lynne,  married  to  a  West 
Chester  State  Teachers  College  senior, 
who  is  mother  of  a  five  month  old  son. 

Being  publicity  director  and  assistant 
Chester  co-ordinator  for  the  New  York 
Herald  Tribune  Fresh  Air  Fund  take 
up  Helen's  spare  time.  They  live  at 
Brandywine  Manor,  R.  D.  No.  I,  five 
miles  north  of  Coatesville. 

Harald  E.  Kenseth  became  associated 
with  the  firm  of  Kersting,  Brown  & 
Company,  Inc.  (New  York  City)  last 
October. 

Dr.  David  S.  Sarner  received  his 
Kd.D  dtgree  from  Cornell  University

396  Andrews  Rd.,  East  Williston,  N.  Y. 

May  1  take  this  opportunity  to  wish 
you  all  a  very  happy  and  prosperous 
New  Year. 

Homecoming  was  truly  wonderful — 
perfect  weather,  perfect  program  and 
perfectly  delightful  to  meet  so  many  of 
our  classmates.  All  of  those  I  met  were 
having  a  lot  of  fun  getting  re-acquaint- 
ed with  the  campus.  Just  to  mention 
those  I  chatted  with:  Bill  Greulich, 
Nelson  Wendt,  Mrs.  Laura  Goldstein 
Bernstein,  Mrs.  Gladys  Gander  Jones, 
Gardner  Loughery,  Mrs.  Marie  Peters 
Nikodem,  George  Mussina,  Jack  Dor- 
man,  Fay  Beijrhly,  Harold  Ruger,  Jack 
GrifiBths  and  Mrs.  Helen  Showalter 
Evans.  There  were  other  '34ities,  but  I 
didn't  get  to  meet  them. 

Mrs.  Anna  Bashore  Henderson  is  liv- 
ing in  Port  Royal,  Pa.  Polly  is  busy 
teaching  and  caring  for  her  husband 
and  son.  Jack,  11.  Polly's  husband,  a 
graduate  of  Carson  Newman  is  also  a 
teacher. 

Mr.  Theodore  S.  Capik  was  recently 
elected  to  the  post  of  Commander  of  the 
American  Legion  Post  in  Monterrey, 
Mexico.  Ted  was  a  Phi  Psi  while  at 
Bucknell  and  originally  hailed  from 
Perth  Amboy,  N.  J.  However,  he  now 
seems  to  prefer  the  warmer  climes  to 
those  of  this  former  home.  In  1937  Ted 
married  Carrie  Jane  McAvoy  in  Tru- 
jillo,  Peru. 

Richard  A.  Curnow  is  a  Presbyterian 
minister  and  lives  at  241-14  Memphis 
Ave.,  Rosedale  22,  L.  I.,  N.  Y.  He  is 
Moderator  this  year  of  the  Brooklyn- 
Nassau  Presbytery.  I  read  about  Dick 
in  the  Long  Island  Press  quite  often. 
He,  aside  from  church  duties,  is  kept 
busy  by  Dick,  Jr.,  14,  John,  12,  Ann,  9, 
William,  6,  and  Katherine,  3.  Maybe  it 
is  a  good  thing.  His  wife  was  a  school 
teacher  with  an  M.A.  from  Duke. 

Helen  Davis  now  Mrs.  Helen  D.  Dix- 
on, lives  at  62  Cortland  St.,  Norwich, 
N.  Y.,  with  her  engineer  husband  and 
their  three  children,  Carol,  10,  Betty 
Lou,  6,  and  Tommy,  1. 

Mary  Iddjngs  received  her  M.S.  in  li- 
brary science  from  Western  Reserve 
University,  Cleveland,  in  June  and  is 
now  the  assistant  librarian  in  the  Pikes- 
ville  Memorial  Library,  Pikcsville,  Md. 

I  see  in  the  December  6  copy  of  Time 
magazine  that  L.  Eleanor  John.son 
Lindner's  husband,  Dr.  Robert  Lindner 
'3.5,  is  quite  an  authority  on  juvenile  de- 
linquents. Bob  is  a  veiy  prominent  psy- 
chologist in  Baltimore.  Can't  help  to 
remember  when  we  both  took  Psych, 
under  Dr.  Harriman.  Little  did  I  real- 
ize how  famou.s  Bob  would  be. 


Isabella  Alrich  is  now  Mrs.  J.  H.  Rob- 
inson and  they  live  at  4906  10th  St., 
Tampa  3,  Fla. 

Met  Dr.  Charles  Robert  Roberts  '33  at 

Homecoming,  and  he  too  is  a  prominent 
psychologist.  He  keeps  busy  as  the  di- 
rector of  the  Child  Guidance  Clinic  of 
the  Oranges  and  Maplewood,  N.  J. 

Well,  that's  all  for  now.  Hope  you 
will  all  try  to  contribute  to  the  Alumni 
Fund  this  year.  If  you  haven't  done  so 
in  the  past,  start  now.  Why  not  help 
our  class  become  one  of  the  leaders  in 
number  of  contributors.  Bucknell  did 
much  for  us;  now  let  us,  even,  if  in 
some  small  way,  do  something  to  keep 
our  Alma  Mater.  Just  a  reminder — • 
Join  your  local  Alumni  group  wherever 
you  may  be,  if  there  isn't  one,  start  one! 
Buck  Shott,  our  Alumni  Secretary,  will 
help  you.  Do  write  to  me  even  if  to 
complain,  or  perhaps  you  can  suggest 
ways  I  could  improve  this  column  of 
class  notes.

"Plan  NOW  to  Come  to  Our  Twentieth 
Reunion  June  10-13,  1955" 

"Members  of  the  Class  of  1935: 

"We've  missed  you.  It's  been  a  long 
time — almost  twenty  years!  This  June 
marks  the  anniversary  we  talked  about 
so  long  ago.  We  promised  to  be  on 
hand  for  the  twentieth,  remember? 
Aren't  you  all  anxious  to  see  what  time 
has  done  to  Suzy  Q.  and  how  fat  old 
Sam  is  now?  For  those  who  have  not 
been  on  the  campus  for  a  while,  there 
are  many  pleasant  surprises  awaiting 
you. 

"Homecoming  this  year  was  disap- 
pointing for  our  class  members.  We 
consoled  ourselves,  by  hoping  that  you 
had  just  postponed  your  return,  and 
would  be  on  hand  in  June.  In  the  Gym 
after  the  game  we  did  see  Mrs.  Mor- 
gan Fellows,  Jr.  (Phyllis  Hicks),  Mrs. 
James  Williamson  (Beth  Hicks),  Butch 
Boiston,  Mrs.  John  Rogers  (Esther  Pow- 
ell) and  Mrs.  Stuart  Smith  (Edith  Mc- 
Cormick).  George  McGaughey  was  on 
the  sidelines  at  the  game — a  coach  for 
Lafayette. 

"Now  we  are  busy  making  plans  for 
the  reunion  weekend.  Won't  you  all 
please  help?  We  would  appreciate  any 
volunteers,  or  any  interesting  informa- 
tion that  you  could  send  us.  A  ques- 
tionnaire will  be  mailed  to  you  before 
long,  and  from  the  information  we  re- 
ceive, we  hope  to  have  an  anniversary 
booklet  printed.  It  will  be  worth  a  trip 
back  to  Lewisburg  just  to  read  about  all 
your  old  friends,  their  activities,  and 
their  families.  Do  you  know  that  our 
class  has  members  in  Johannesburg, 
South  Africa,  Bengal,  India,  Sitka,  Alas- 
ka, and  Honolulu?  Be  there  in  June, 
and  we  will  tell  you  who  they  are. 

"Start  planning  now,  and  remember 
the  dates,  June  10  and  11.

Harry  Lanson  Wynn  broke  into  print 
lately  when  his  aiticle  "You  Can  Take

The  article  describes  methods  useful  in 
bettering  auto  radios.

Perhaps  you  have  heard  of  the  1954

editor  of  the  local  paper  to  cover  the 
conference.  She  met  Dr.  George  Gal- 
lup, along  with  many  other  national  fig- 
ures. All  this  and  the  mother  of  three,

Please  send  us  some  news  of  your-

Bison  Briefs 

Bucknell  Alumni  Clubs  are  well  on  their 
way  to  establishing  a  new  high  record  of 
activity  during  the  present  year.  Already 
a  new  record  has  been  set  in  the  number  of 
Freshman  receptions  held  and  five-well-or- 
ganized and  well-attended  football  rallies 
have  been  held  in  connection  with  the  off- 
campus  games.  It  may  well  be  that  during 
the  basketball  season  a  new  record  of  Alumni 
rallies  in  connection  with  the  "on  the  road" 
games  will  be  established.  Already  Roches- 
ter rallied  to  support  the  team  on  December 
11.  Other  opportunities  present  themselves 
when  we  play  N.  Y.  U.  at  New  York,  Feb. 
5;  Lafayette  at  Easton,  Feb.  9;  Pittsburgh 
at  Pittsburgh,  Feb.  23;  and  Muhlenberg  at 
AUentown,  March  5.  Treat  yourself  to  a 
thrill  when  the  current  basketball  squad  visits 
your  home  town. 


Classes  reuning  June  10-13,  1955  are  those 
whose  class  numerals  end  in  "0"  and  "5." 
Reunion  organizing  committees  are  already 
at  work  in  many  classes  (see  Class  Notes 
Section)  and  most  groups  are  planning  the 
increasingly  popular  reunion  booklet  as  a  fea- 
ture of  the  Reunion.  Now,  if  we  could  get 
all  reunioners  to  register  at  the  registration 
desks  when  they  reach  the  campus,  we  would 
have  a  good  record  of  those  in  attendance. 
Last  year  with  over  1,000  at  the  All- Alumni 
luncheon,  there  were  less  than  700  who  reg- 
istered— and  only  187  who  answered  the  re- 
quest for  advance  reservations.  One  of  these 
years  we  are  going  to  run  out  of  food  ! 


"It's  a  small  world  etc."  What  a  thrill 
when  a  member  of  the  Class  of  1930  from 
Maine  steps  into  the  Alumni  Office  just  as 
another  classmate  from  Arizona  is  leaving.

You  don't  need  to  speak  a  foreign  language 
to  become  an  interpreter.  I  wish  you  could 
be  in  Alumni  Headquarters  when  that  mem- 
ber of  the  Class  of  1893  who  is  deaf  comes 
into  the  office  wliile  that  chap  from  the  1901 
Class  who  stutters  is  visiting. 


Are  you  a  doodler  at  the  phone?  I'm  a 
phone  directory  reader.  I  wonder  how  long 
I  am  going  to  be  able  to  resist  the  tempta- 
tion to  dial  the  number  of  the  subscriber 
listed  in  the  New  York  phone  book  as  "A. 
Kiss."  I'd  like  to  be  around  when  the  20 
or  25  families  listed  in  the  New  York  phone 
book  as  "Ng"  gather  for  a  reunion.  Con- 
gratulations to  the  owners  of  the  Zyyzyy 
Ztamp  Ztudio.  But  who  wants  to  be  last  ? 
I  still  think  my  old  friend,  tlie  hat  manufac- 
turer named  Albert  A.  Aal,  had  the  best 
deal — and  first  place  in  the  .phone  book. 


How  Big  Should  Bucknell  Be? 

Three  recent  issues  of  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALUMNUS  invited  Alumni  comment  on 
"How  big  should  Bucknell  be?"  We  are 
happy  to  report  that  asking  15,000  Alumni 
this  question  three  times  has  produced  one 
(1)  answer  to  date.  Donald  W.  Hill  '53 
has  this  to  say : 

"In  anszver  to  the  question  'How  Big 
Should  Bucknell  Be?' — /  lujve  done  much 
thinking  on  the  subject  the  past  few  years. 
It  seems  to  me  that  Bucknell  should  be  stead- 
ily growing,  which  it  is,  but  I  feel  more 
can  he  done  to  speed  it  up.  Has  anyone 
ei'er  looked  into  the  possibility  of  establish- 
ing a  State  School  in  one  or  more  of  the 
departments?  I  do  not  know  if  this  is  pos- 
sible but  I  always  understood  that  the  Uni- 
versity of  Pennsylvania,  Temple  Universi- 
ty, and  the  University  of  Pittsburgh  receive 
State  support.  I  am  not  in  favor  of  gov- 
ernment support  in  most  endeavors  but  be- 
lieve there  is  a  place  for  it  in  education. 
Other  actions  probably  could  be  taken  to  en- 
courage   growth.      I    believe   4,500    students 


Bucknellians  Win 
Journalism  Awards 

Four  Bucknell  graduates  have  recently 
been  awarded  more  than  $5,000  in  scholar- 
ships and  fellowships  for  graduate  study 
in  Journalism. 

Robert  Farrell  '49  was  a  Nieman  Fellow 
at  Harvard  in  1953-1954  after  working  four 
years  on  The  Wall  Street  Journal.  The 
fellowsliip  pays  all  expenses  for  a  year's 
study  in  any  field  the  student  selects. 

Jean  White  'SO  earned  a  master's  degree 
in  the  Pulitzer  Graduate  School  of  Jour- 
nalism at  Columbia  University  in  1953. 
While  there  she  won  a  $200  Women's 
Press  Club  award  and  a  $1500  traveling 
fellowship. 

Howard  Macauley  '54  won  a  $900  schol- 
arship at  Stanford  University  and  is  now 
pursuing  graduate  work  in  the  Institute 
for  Journalistic  Studies. 

Patricia  Forlifer  '53  was  awarded  the  $750 
Maxwell  M.  Geffen  scholarship  as  she 
began  her  work  this  fall  toward  a  master's 
degree  in  the  Pulitzer  Graduate  School 
of  Journalism  at  Columbia  University. 


cow  be  taken  care  of  on  the  Bucknell  Campus 
after  certain  additions  and  new  construction 
takes  place.  A  student  population  of  this 
sise  would  increase  the  prestige  of  Bucknell 
and  encourage  more  top-flight  professors  to 
become  a  part  of  the  Bucknell  faculty.  A 
higher  overall  grade  of  student  also  would 
he  attracted  to  the  campus." 
Do  you  all  agree?

Trustee  Joliu  Houohtou  Harris  Dies 


JOHN  HOUGHTON  HARRIS 


-Blackstone  Studios 


Bucknell  University  lost  a  loyal  and  dear 
friend,  and  the  Board  of  Trustees  an  able 
member  in  the  passing  of  John  Houghton 
Harris  on  August  30,  1954.  His  constant 
interest  and  ready  generosity  were  reflected 
by  substantial  gifts  to  the  new  library  and  the 
lieating  plant,  a  lalxjratory  in  the  new  Taylor 
Medical  Hall,  where  there  is  a  bronze  plaque 
to  his  memory.  His  munificence  will  pro- 
vide the  dining  liall  in  the  Freshman  Resi- 
dence Hall  noiv  under  construction.  When 
completed,  this  splendid  dining  hall  will  be 
dedicated  to  him.  These  magnificent  addi- 
tions to  the  campus  facilities  will  stand  as  a 
living  memorial  to  John  Houghton  Harris. 
He  is  survived  by  his  wife.  Elizabeth  Katte 
Harris  of  .Salisbury,  C'inn..  who  assist'  d  him 
in  his  philanthropic  enter|)ri-cs.  Al.so  >urviv- 
ing  are  two  brothers,  Ree.se  and  David 
Harris. 

His  c<intributi'>ns  to  clarities  were  varied 
and  large,  including  gifts  to  the  I'eter  Bent 
Brigham  .Vtemorial  Hospital.  Boston,  the 
University  of  California  at  I.os  Angeles,  the 
Shanm  Hospital,  Sharon,  (^itni.  By  his 
contributions  to  the  science  of  medicine  and 
through    his    help    in    assisting    medical    re- 


searchers to  study  adrenal  insufficiency,  he 
lias  blazed  a  trail  that  may  some  day  lead 
to  conquering  Addison's  disease.  The  emi- 
nent Dr.  George  \\'.  Thorn.  Hersey  Profes- 
.sor  of  the  Theory  and  Practice  of  Physic, 
Harvard  Medical  School ;  and  Physician-in- 
chief,  Peter  Bent  Brigham  Hospital,  in  ap- 
preciation of  the  contribution  of  Mr.  Harris 
to  this  field  of  medicine,  has  dedicated  his 
book  "The  Diagnosis  and  Treatment  of 
Adrenal   Insufficiency"  to  him. 

Mr.  Harris  was  born  in  1915  and  was 
graduated  from  Hotchkiss  School  and  Wil- 
liams College,  where  be  was  a  member  of 
Beta  Theta  Pi  Fraternity.  He  was  president 
of  Heliogen  Produits.  Inc.  and  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  firm  of  Harris  LaBouchere,  Inc., 
.N'ew  'I'ork  City.  Although  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Harris  were  residents  of  Salisliury.  Coiniec- 
ticut,  ibey  also  liad  homes  and  spent  time 
seasonably  in  Xcw  ^'ork  City  and  Pasadena, 
('alifornia. 

The  University  extends  heartfelt  sympa- 
thy to  .Mrs.  Harris  and  offers  thanks  mi  be- 
half of  the  coming  generations  of  Bucknell 
students  wliii  will  benefit  from  the  generosity 
of  John  Houghton  Harris.

As  we  go  to  press  at  the  end  of  the  seventh  month  of  the  1954-1955  Bucknell 
Alumni  Annual  Giving  Program,  1111  Alumni  have  sent  in  contributions  to  the 
fund  for  a  total  of  $12,871.42.  Alumni  Capital  Gifts  account  for  an  additional 
$132,593.54.  The  current  year's  program  began  on  July  1,  1954  and  will  close  on 
June  30,  195  5.  As  in  past  years,  the  program  is  operated  on  the  "Living  Endow- 
ment" principle.  This  means  that  Alumni  who  may  not  be  able  to  make  substantial 
endowment  gifts  through  annual  giving  can  supply  the  University  annually  with 
the  income  that  such  larger  endowments  would  provide.  Last  year  Alumni  Fund 
gifts  of  $28,000  (the  equivalent  of  a  return  on  over  $700,000  of  endowment) 
helped  the  University  meet  its  current  budget  for  faculty  salaries,  scholarships,  gen- 
eral maintenance  and  the  thousand  and  one  other  items  that  are  incurred  in  "keeping 
Bucknell  strong." 

Thus  far  this  year  Bucknellians  have  received  three  appeals  for  contributions 
to  the  Fund.  The  first  sent  in  early  November  was  in  the  form  of  the  Annual  Report 
of  the  Fund  efforts  in  the  195  3-54  year.  The  second  appeal  was  a  letter  signed  by  Clyde 
P.  Bailey  '29,  chairman  of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  Committee.  The  third  re- 
minders were  sent  by  the  class  fund  managers  to  the  individual  members  of  each 
class  who  had  not  yet  contributed.  This  year  a  few  classes  have  new  class  fund 
managers.  Frank  L.  Yost,  superintendent  of  schools  in  Orange,  N.  J.,  is  taking  over 
as  class  fund  manager  for  the  Class  of  1906  to  replace  Elbina  L.  Bender  who  died  in 
November.  In  the  Class  of  1915  Mrs.  George  H.  Hines  (Myrna  Strickler)  is  re- 
placing Mrs.  Russell  M.  McQuay  (Helen  Eede)  who  continues  to  serve  on  the 
Alumni  Fund  Committee.  Dr.  Samuel  M.  Davenport  for  the  Class  of  1916  is  re- 
placing Judge  William  L.  Showers  who  has  asked  to  be  relieved  of  some  of  his  extra 
curricular  duties.  Frank  E.  Gerlitz,  Jr.,  of  the  Class  of  1934,  is  replacing  Walter 
Ruch  as  class  fund  manager.  In  the  Class  of  195  3  Joan  Lafferandre  continues  to 
serve  for  Frank  Bogozewski  while  Frank  is  on  duty  with  Uncle  Sam's  Navy.  During 
the  illness  of  Russell  E.  Boyer,  Class  of  1918,  Dean  Malcolm  E.  Musser  is  acting  as 
class  fund  manager.  Our  newest  class  (1954)  has  Patricia  McColl  at  work  as  class 
fund  manager.  Class  fund  managers  are  appointed  by  the  class  president,  and  we 
join  these  presidents  in  extending  thanks  to  those  who  have  completed  services  as 
class  fund  managers  and  welcome  the  newcomers  to  the  staff  of  fund  workers.  These 
folks  spend  long  hours  in  preparing  the  letter  reminders  sent  to  their  classmates,  and 
it  is  an  encouragement  to  them  to  see  the  splendid  response  so  many  Bucknellians 
make  in  the  effort  to  have  their  class  reach  the  highest  pinnacle  in  total  dollars  con- 
tributed, highest  percentage  of  participation  and  greatest  number  of  contributors. 

Last  year  the  class  fund  managers  received  help  in  their  program  of  Fund  Rais- 
ing through  a  pilot  experiment  conducted  in  Pittsburgh.  About  20  fund  agents  work- 
ing under  5  captains  and  supervised  by  Clyde  P.  Bailey,  chairman  of  the  personal  solici- 
tation program  in  Pittsburgh,  made  160  personal  visits  to  alumni  and  proved  that  pro- 
crastination is  still  the  biggest  stumbling  block  to  alumni  giving.  On  over  half  of 
their  visits  the  alumnus  stated,  "I  want  to  give  but  I  just  didn't  get  around  to  it.  Now 
that  you  are  here  I'll  give  you  the  check."  These  20  volunteers  were  so  encouraged 
by  their  results  that  the  program  will  be  in  operation  again  this  spring,  and  it  is  hoped 
to  expand  into  several  new  areas.  Personal  solicitation  staffs  are  being  formed  in 
Southern  New  Jersey,  Philadelphia,  Pittsburgh,  Lycoming  County,  Long  Island, 
Trenton,  Harrisburg,  Washington,  Binghamton,  Lewistown,  and  Lewisburg,  and  it 
is  hoped  to  organize  also  Metropolitan  New  York,  Buffalo,  and  Cleveland. 

Alumni  giving  on  many  college  campuses  got  a  tremendous  lift  from  the  recent 
announcement  of  the  General  Electric  Company  that  GE  will  match  dollar  for  dollar 
— the  gift  of  their  employees  to  their  respective  alma  maters.  Bucknell  has  already 
received  several  donations  under  the  GE  plan.  Since  there  are  about  100  Bucknellians 
employed  by  General  Electric,  this  effort  could  mean  a  big  boost  in  the  Alumni  Fund 
for  all  of  these  contributions  become,  in  effect,  dotible  duty  dollars.

LEARNING  AND  TEACHING 

By  John  S.  Wheatcroft,  '49,  Instructor  in  English 


TL  ST  as  the  medical  doctor  who,  after 
^  framing  his  license  and  hanging  his  shin- 
gle, neglects  to  study  the  journals  and  books 
which  report  the  latest  findings  in  medicine, 
is  not  doing  his  best  to  protect  the  health  of 
the  community,  so  the  teacher  who  fails  to 
keep  up  with  fresh  developments  in  his  field 
is  failing  in  his  service  to  the  minds  of  his 
students.  For  knowledge,  which  can  be  be- 
got only  by  living  minds,  is,  like  the  minds 
it  springs  from,  alive :  and  after  it  has  been 
bom  it  assumes  an  existence  of  its  own  and 
it  has  its  own  growth.  In  a  marvelous,  an 
almost  mysterious  way,  new  facts  and  new 
pieces  of  information  are  always  coming  to 
light,  and  new  ideas  are  ever  springing  into 
being.  This  proposition  holds  true  not  onlj- 
for  those  fields  of  study  which  are  obviously 
d>Tiamic — the  natural  and  social  sciences — 
but  also  for  history,  for  literature,  for  the 
fine  arts,  for  even  the  so  called  "dead  lan- 
guages." In  addition  to  the  new  products,  the 
new  descriptive  ideas,  the  new  explanations 
which  are  coming  out  of  the  modern  labora- 
tor>-,  new  artifacts  and  manuscripts  and  doc- 
uments are  being  turned  up  continually  by 
archaeologists  and  scholars;  new  ideas  with 
which  to  explain  the  events,  the  thought, 
and  the  art  of  the  past  are  being  offered  con- 
tinually by  historians  and  critics ;  new  con- 
nections between  the  past  and  the  present 
and  the  present  and  the  future  are  being  sug- 
gested continually  by  independent  and  orig- 
inal thinkers. 


'T'HERE  is  another  reason  that  the  teacher 
-L  must  ever  be  at  work.  Besides  the  re- 
sponsibility he  has  to  the  students  who  sit 
in  his  classroom,  the  teacher  has  upon  him 
an  additional  and  not  altogether  ancillary 
obligation.  The  whole  duty  of  the  teacher 
requires  that  he  serve  students  everywhere, 
that  he  serve  his  professional  brotherhood, 
that  he  serve  sodety,  that  he  serve  knowledge 


and  ideas  themselves.  Traditionally  the 
teacher  has  been  not  only  the  guardian  and 
purveyor  of  learning  but  the  explorer  of 
new  worlds  of  thought,  the  thinker  who  is 
always  a  couple  of  steps  ahead  of  the  mass 
of  minds  of  his  time.  From  Plato's  Acad- 
emy, where  new  solutions  to  ethical,  aesthetic, 
and  metaphysical  problems  were  generated 
by  the  action  of  minds  in  contact  with  one 
another,  to  the  physics  and  chemistry  and 
biologj'  laboratories  of  the  modern  univer- 
sity, where  many  of  the  concepts  basic  to 
the  new  wonder  drugs  and  the  not-so-won- 
derful new  weapons  were  born,  the  teacher 
has  been  a  pioneer  in  the  field  of  ideas. 

T^HE  realization  that  the  teacher,  if  he  is 
-*-  to  be  vital  and  thorough  in  the  class- 
room and  if  he  is  to  do  his  whole  duty,  must 
be  engaged  in  research  or  in  some  kind  of 
original  work  in  his  field,  creates  a  major 
problem  for  both  the  teacher  and  the  admin- 
istrator. The  time  involved  in  teaching  alone 
— the  time  it  takes  to  prepare  for  the  lec- 
ture, the  discussion,  the  recitation  in  class, 
the  time  actually  spent  in  the  classroom, 
the  time  it  takes  to  make  up  and  administer 
examinations,  the  time  spent  in  grading  pa- 
pers, the  time  spent  in  conferring  with  and 
advising  students,  the  time  it  takes  to  as- 
sign grades,  the  time  spent  in  staff  and  facul- 
ty meetings  and  in  serving  on  departmental 
and  university  committees — a  mounts  to 
something  more  than  a  forty-hour  week.  And 
only  infrequently  is  it  possible  for  the 
teacher  to  combine  research  or  original  work 
with  his  regular  teaching.  Consequently  the 
teacher  finds  that  he  must  squeeze  such  work 
into  the  hours  around  midnight,  into  his 
brief  weekends,  into  his  school-year  vaca- 
tions, into  his  summers — if  he  is  not  com- 
pelled to  spend  these  times  working  to  sup- 
plement his  teaching  income.  About  his  lack 
of  time  the  teacher  feels  desperate,  for  well 
he  knows  that  if  he  is  not  learning  he  cannot 
teach. 


/CERTAINLY  the  wise  college  adminis- 
^  trator  is  anxious  to  have  the  teacher 
satisfied  in  this  respect.  He  wants  to  see  his 
faculty  happy,  he  wants  the  student  to  get 
the  best  possible  education  for  his  money, 
and  he  knows  that  the  faculty  which  pro- 
duces and  publishes  adds  prestige  and  even 
income  to  the  university.  But  to  give  the 
teacher  more  time  for  research  in  the  form 
of  sabbaticals,  leaves  of  absence,  grants,  and 
awards,  to  lighten  the  teaching  load,  to  give 
the  teacher  fewer  preparations,  to  reduce  the 
size  of  classes,  to  provide  additional  library 
and  research  facilities,  the  administrator 
must  have  money.  And  here  he  too  has  some 
problems.  The  cost  of  running  a  university 
has  risen  tremendously  in  the  past  ten  years  : 
teachers'  salaries  have  been  increased,  the 
cost  of  maintaining  the  physical  plant  is  at 
a  peak,  to  provide  board  is  more  expensive 
than  ever.  And  what  with  predictions  that 
large  increases  in  college  enrollments  lie 
right  ahead,  the  college  administrator  must 
increase  and  improve  the  facilities  of  his  in- 
stitution. 

A  T  Bucknell,  despite  the  difficulties  which 
-^*-  beset  the  teacher  and  the  administrator, 
research  and  original  work  are  being  done. 
Members  of  the  faculty  are  continually  win- 
ning grants  for  research  from  the  federal 
government,  from  industry,  and  from  the 
large  foundations.  The  results  of  this  work 
are  constantly  being  published  in  books,  in 
brochures,  in  the  learned  journals,  in  the 
young  but  growing  Bucknell  University 
Press,  in  The  Bucknell  Reviezv,  formerly 
Bucknell  University  Studies,  the  Revieiv, 
which  appears  three  times  a  year,  publishes 
scholarly  articles  by  members  of  the  Buck- 
nell faculty.  The  Scholars'  Club,  a  faculty 
organization  which  meets  eight  times  a  year 
to  hear  and  discuss  a  scholarly  paper  by  one 
of  its  members,  is  an  indication  tliat  the 
Bucknell  teadier  not  only  is  engaged  in  re- 
search but  is  actively  interested  in  the  work 
of  his  colleagues. 

THE  administration  at  Bucknell  has  found 
it  possible  to  provide  a  number  of  en- 
couragements for  faculty  research.  There  is 
a  provision  for  a  sabbatical  leave,  for  the 
full  professor  who  has  served  at  least  eight 
consecutive  years  at  Bucknell.  For  the  fac- 
ulty member  who  is  working  for  an  advanced 
degree  there  is  a  very  generous  provision 
of  a  leave  of  absence  with  pay.  l'"ach  sum- 
mer the  Hoard  of  Trustees  makes  an  award 
(if  seven  hundred  dcillars  to  one  or  two  facul- 
ty memhers  in  order  that  they  may  carry  on 
rt-si-arcli  or  original  work.  A  joint  facuUy- 
adminislraliciM  connnjUee  has  been  set  up  to 
sliniulate  graduate  study  and  research  and 
til  provide  infurmalion  about  scholarships, 
fellowships,   grants,   and   awards. 

N(  )T  (jrily  al  jiuckncll  but  at  colleges  and 
universities  ihnnighout  the  country,  the 
Ir.iiher  Meeds  more  money,  belter  facilities, 
and  aliove  all  addilion.'d  lime  for  research. 
Until  such  ihirigs  arc  given  to  him,  Imwever, 
tli<'  Icarlier  will  (|uictly  carry  on  his  work 
willi  llic  funds  and  facilities  at  his  disposal, 
during  whatever  hours  he  can  find.  l'"or  he

that  is  thoroughly  informed  and  completely 
alive,  and  lie  is  det<'rmined  to  make  .some

WALLS  COLLECTION  GIVEN  TO  LIBRARY 


By  Alfred  H.  Fenton 


The  Bucknell  University  Library's  ef- 
forts to  become  a  center  of  Central  Penn- 
sylvania lore  and  records,  was  given  a 
heartening  boost  in  January  when  Mrs. 
Harry  E.  McCormick,  Institute  'OS,  of 
Lewisburg  and  Mr.  John  A.  Walls  '98 
of  Baltimore  presented  to  the  Ellen  Clarke 
Bertrand  Library  a  large  collection  of 
family  papers  and  documents. 

Mrs.  McCormick,  the  former  Dorothy 
Walls,  and  her  brother  are  descendants 
of  a  number  of  Lewisburg's  leading  fam- 
ilies and  consequently,  the  story  of  Lew- 
isburg is  pretty  well  told  in  this  collec- 
tion. Members  of  the  Walls,  Slifer,  prick. 
Green,  Cameron,  Adlum  and  Coulter  fam- 
ilies played  various  parts  in  the  major  en- 
terprises of  the  region,  such  as  the  build- 
ing of  the  canals,  the  building  of  boats 
for  the  canals,  the  trading  and  shipping  of 
produce  from  the  area,  the  building  of 
bridges,  the  organizing  of  banks,  not  to 
mention  the  politics  of  the  state. 

Dorothy  and  John  Walls  are  direct  de- 
scendants of  Eli  Slifer,  successful  boat 
builder  and  businessman  who  served  as 
State  Secretary  under  Governor  Curtm 
during  the  Civil  War,  as  well  as  Judge 
John  Walls,  another  successful  busmess- 
man,  who  served  on  the  State  Bench  as 
well  as  in  the  State  Senate. 

There  is  also  considerable  mention  of 
Bucknell  in  this  collection  since  William 


Cameron  Walls,  father  of  Mrs.  McCor- 
mick and  her  brother,  was  a  member  of 
the  Bucknell  Class  of  1873  and  served  for 
16  years  as  a  member  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees. 

Many  of  William  Cameron  Walls'  bus- 
iness papers  are  included  in  the  collection 
and  these  present  a  detailed  picture  of  the 
retail  and  wholesale  business  that  the 
Walls'  family  ran  in  Lewisburg  for  nearly 
100  years.  Judge  John  Walls  founded 
the  business  and  served  as  a  retailer  to 
Lewisburg  and  a  wholesaler  to  the  area. 
The  arrangement  was  ideal  since  Lewis- 
burg became  a  shipping  point  for  the  lush 
valleys  to  the  west. 

One  of  the  most  interesting  items  in  the 
collection  is  a  diary  kept  by  Robert  B. 
Green  during  his  seven-month  trek  to 
California  in  1849.  Robert  Green  was  a 
young  man  at  the  time  of  the  Gold  Rush, 
but  he  was  most  observant  and  wrote  a 
spicy  account  of  the  trials  and  tribula- 
tions to  be  found  on  the  overland  route 
to  California.  Unfortunately,  he  died 
shortly  after  reaching  the  west  coast  and 
a  second  volume  of  his  diary,  describing 
life   there,   apparently   has   been   lost. 

Not  quite  so  spicy,  but  equally  inter- 
esting is  a  collection  of  annual  diaries 
kept  by  Eli  Slifer  during  the  Civil  War, 
when  he  played  such  a  prominent  part 
in   the  affairs  of  the  Keystone   State.     A 


considerable  amount  of  his  personal  cor- 
respondence during  the  war  years  has 
been  saved.  The  requests  made  of  him 
at  that  time  must  have  been  burdensome. 
For  example,  a  Union  officer  writes  from 
a  Southern  prison  camp  to  ask  that  money 
be  sent  to  his  wife.  A  mother  requests 
aid  because  her  son  is  at  the  front 
and  she  has  no  one  else  to  whom  to  turn. 
There  are  letters  and  telegrams  from 
many  prominent  persons,  including  Secre- 
tary Seward  and  a  number  of  State  Gov- 
ernors. 

Equally  fascinating  is  the  correspon- 
dence from  Dr.  A.  G.  Walls  to  his  father. 
Judge  John  Walls,  much  of  it  written 
from  the  battlefields. 

And  for  those  doing  research  on  the 
early  daj's  of  Lewisburg  there  are  all 
manner  of  ledgers,  scrapbo.oks,  docu- 
ments, and  miscellaneous  correspondence. 

Perhaps  the  most  valuable  of  all,  from 
a  researcher's  point  of  view  is  a  memoir, 
written  by  Mrs.  Charles  W.  Kalp,  which' 
presents  a  fairly  complete  picture  of  the 
history  of  Lewisburg  and  the  part  that 
these  various  families  played  in  it.  Any- 
one delving  into  these  papers  will  do  well 
to  read  this  manuscript  first. 

And  perhaps  best  of  all,  from  the  his- 
torian's view,  is  the  fact  that  many  of 
these  papers  have  been  transcribed  to 
typewriter. 


John  B.  Clark  Advanced 

Last  year  John  B.  Clark,  that  energetic 
editor  of  the  Class  of  1948  Reunion  Book, 
joined  the  Automatic  Control  Company  of 
Saint  Paul,  Minn.,  as  advertising  manager 
and  was  given  responsibility  for  all  the  ad- 
vertising, merchandising,  sales  promotion 
and  public  relations  activities  of  the  com- 
pany. Then  last  December  he  was  elected 
to  the  Board  of  Directors.  The  Automatic 
Control  Company  manufactures  customed- 
engineered  control  systems  for  municipal, 
industrial  and  commercial  water  treatment 
and  sewage  processing  plants. 

Before  joining  Automatic,  John  was  pub- 
lic relations  account  executive  for  Campbell- 
Mithun  Advertising,  Inc.,  and  prior  to  that 
was  manager  of  engineering  information  for 
the  Minneapolis-Honeywell  Regulator  Com- 
pany aeronautical  division. 

John  originally  was  in  the  Class  of  1942. 
but  left  Bucknell  the  year  before  receiving 
his  degree.  He  came  back  after  the  war  and 
was  awarded  the  degree  in  mechanical  en- 
gineering with  the  Class  of  1948.  In  his

How  Big  Should  Bucknell  Be? 

The  accompanying  figures  will  not  answer  the  above  question,  but  may  give  us  a 
clue  to  our  thinking  about  the  problem  of  size  faced  by  Bucknell  and  all  other  colleges 
and  universities. 

The  latest  census  (October,  1954)  showed  15,531  "listed  and  located"  alumni.  An 
alumnus  is  anyone  who  has  matriculated,  whether  or  not  a  degree  has  been  awarded.  It 
is  interesting  to  note  that  about  25%  of  our  alumni  are  in  the  classes  of  1950  or  later; 
that  nearly  50%  are  in  classes  since  1940  and  that  75%  have  been  at  the  University  since 
the  Class  of  1930  matriculated.

It  Happened  Here 

Twenty-five  Years  Ago — 1930 

Back  in  1930  an  hilarious  C&D  play, 
"Applesauce,"  was  under  the  direction  of 
Mr.  C.  W.  Smith,  instructor  in  English. 
Mr.  Smith  had  had  quite  a  bit  of  dramatic 
experience,  while  at  Princeton,  and  the 
cast  profited  greatly  by  his  directing.  That 
man  is  now  our  own  Dr.  (Willard)  Smith, 
head  of  Bucknell's  English  Department.

GRUBER,  F.  C.  and  BEATTV.  T.  B. 

Secondary  School  Actkities 

N.  Y. :  McGraw-Hill,  1954,  316  pp.  $4.50 

Both  Professor  Frederick  C.  Gruber  of  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania  and  our  own 
Professor  Thomas  Bayard  Beatty,  formerly 
Director  of  Student  Teaching  at  Bucknell, 
are  well-equipped  to  deal  with  the  subject 
of  student  activities  in  the  secondary  school. 
Both  have  had  rich  experiences  along  these 
lines  as  secondarj-  school  teachers  and  ad- 
ministrators. Professor  Beatty  having  served 
as  principal  of  Radnor  High  School  for 
nineteen  years  prior  to  his  coming  to  Buck- 
nell. Professor  Gruber  is  a  leader  in  the 
Cultural  Olympics  and  is  this  year  in  the 
Netherlands  on  a  Fulbright  scholarship. 

The  volume  emphasizes  particularly  the 
participation  of  the  students  themselves  in 
developing  their  own  potentialities  through 
organizing  and  working  in  the  numerous  ac- 
tivities found  in  modern  secondary  schools. 
Great  stress  is  placed  on  the  practical  pro- 
cedures used  in  carrying  on  successful  activ- 
ities programs.  Tliroughout  the  work  a  mul- 
titude of  illustrations  are  used  to  show  ways 
in  which  the  co-curricular  and  extra-curric- 
ular student  activities  serve  to  achieve  the 
goals  which  the  modern  school  considers  im- 
portant for  growing  adolescents. 

An  introductory  chapter  deals  with  the 
historical  development  of  student  activities 
and  the  role  of  activities  in  the  total  school 
program.  Succeeding  chapters  deal  with 
such  varied  activities  as  the  homeroom,  the 
student  council,  dramatics,  music,  club  pro- 
grams, health  activities,  the  assembly,  pub- 
lications, commencements,  and  the  social 
program.  An  exceptionally  good  chapter  is 
devoted  to  the  financing  and  promoting  of 
student  activities. 

In  the  chapter  on  homeroom  activities,  the 
authors  are  more  favorably  disposed  towards 
the  vertical  homeroom  organization,  in  which 
students  of  varying  class  levels  would  be 
located  in  the  same  homeroom,  than  is  the 
case  with  other  writers  in  this -field.  The  au- 
thors have  rather  less  to  say  about  school 
camping  and  its  contributions,  although 
rather  more  with  regard  to  dancing  and 
other  phases  of  the  social  program. 

&>ncluding  chapters  furnish  much  helpful 
information  with  regard  to  the  cooperating 
agencies  concerned  with  youth  activities 
and  the  means  of  evaluating  outcomes  re- 
sulting from  school  activities. 

Good  bibliographies,  well-annotated,  are 
to  be  found  at  the  close  of  each  chapter.  Not 
the  least  helpful  feature  of  the  work  is  a 
.scries  of  illustrations  showing  a  number  of 
student  groups  in  action. 

The  volume  will  be  found  helpful  chiefly 
to  two  groups :  First,  it  should  be  of  great 
value  to  the  secondary  schawl  teachers  and 
administrators  interested  in  securing  the  lat- 
est information  a.s  to  what  is  being  done  in 
l)ctter  mfxiern  .wcondary  5chf>ols  of  our 
country  in  the  field  of  student  activities.  Sec- 
ond, it  is  already  proving  helpful  as  a  text- 
bofik  in  rollcgcs  and  universities  offering 
courses  in  the  fields  of  extra-curricular  ac- 
fivilics  or  student  activities.  The  work  mer- 
its the  careful  [Krrusal  of  educators  at  either 
level.

ROBERT    M.    LINDNER,    '35;    M.A.    '36 

(Cornell)  ;  Ph.D.  '38   (Cornell) 

The  Fifty  Minute  Hour 

New  York :  Rinehart  and  Company,   1954 

After  reading  Dr.  Robert  Lindner's  lat- 
est book,  "The  Fifty  Minute  Hour,"  called 
in  subtitle  "a  collection  of  psychoanalytic 
tales,"  this  reviewer  did  not  agree  entirely 
with  Max  Lerner  who  wrote  in  the  intro- 
duction to  the  book  that  he  had  read  the 
tales  with  pleasure  and  with  pleasure  rec- 
ommended them  to  other  readers.  The  tales 
are  highly  recommendable  to  readers,  but 
not  because  they  are  pleasurable.  If  they 
are  read  for  enjoyment  as  a  kind  of  liigh- 
brow  detective  fiction,  or  as  lurid  tales  in 
the  manner  of  Ambrose  Bierce,  the  whole 
point  in  their  writing  is  lost.  Dr.  Lindner 
had  a  more  serious  intention  in  mind  when 
he  wrote  them  than  just  arousing  the  read- 
er's morbid  curiosity  in  the  abnormal  be- 
havior of  deluded  people. 

In  his  foreword  to  "The  Fifty  Minute 
Hour,"  Dr.  Lindner  carefully  explains  the 
purpose  of  his  work,  thus  helping  to  re- 
move from  the  reader's  mind  the  suspicion 
that  the  stories  are  merely  sensational  dram- 
atizations of  the  lives  of  Dr.  Lindner's  an- 
alysands.  In  so  realistically  describing  the 
mental  abnormalities  of  five  very  distinct 
individuals.  Dr.  Lindner's  aim  was  to  reveal 
the  private  world  of  the  psychoanalyst  and 
liis  patient  to  the  wondering  layman,  ena- 
bling the  latter  to  see  that  the  work  of  the 
analyst  is  not  mysterious,  or  occult,  and 
that  the  basis  of  true  mental  recovery  is 
not  only  the  analyst's  humane  understand- 
ing of  his  patient,  but  also  the  mutual  un- 
derstanding of  the  two,  embraced  in  a  stren- 
uous attempt  to  solve  the  innermost  myster- 
ies of  mind  and  behavior.  With  a  fervor 
amounting  to  evangelism,  Dr.  Lindner  ex- 
pounds his  great  faith  in  the  ability  of  a 
sensitive  analyst  to  penetrate  the  recesses 
of  the  disturbed  mind  and  to  find  out  what 
the  real  person  is  under  the  palimpsest  of 
distorted  emotions  and  actions.  Like  Alex- 
ander Pope,  Dr.  Lindner  staunchly  believes 
that  the  proper  study  of  mankind  is  man, 
and  that  man  alone,  in  troubles  of  the  mind 
particularly,  can  fathom  man.  He  boldly 
repudiates  the  psychiatric  treatment  of  men- 
tal illness  which  specializes  in  shock  ther- 
apy, and  deplores  what  he  calls  the  attempts 
of  his  medical  colleagues  to  reduce  their 
patients  to  a  vegetable  state  with  personal- 
ity marks  erased  and  character  bumps  eroded. 

The  respect  and  care  which  Dr.  Lindner 
has  for  the  human  mind  and  personality  are 
clearly,  .sometimes  tenderly,  reflected  in  the 
collection  of  five  tales  which  he  has  chosen 
to  call  "The  Fifty  Minute  Hour."  In  the 
story  of  "Songs  My  Mother  Taught  Mc," 
the  history  of  Charles,  the  rapist-murderer, 
is  described  with  artistry  and  genuine  ana- 
lytic penetration.  It  is  by  far  the  most  ter- 
rifying and  the  best  told  of  the  talcs,  and 
it  is  the  only  tale  of  the  analyst's  failure  to 
help  his  patient.  "The  Jct-Propellcd  Oiucli," 
the  story  of  Kirk  Allen,  tin-  physicist  who 
lived  in  outer  space,  constitutes  the  second 
best  tale.  Third  best  is  "Scilitairc,"  the 
story  of  Laura,  a  compulsive  cater.  "Come 
Over,  Rerl  Rover,"  and  "Destiny's  Tot," 
stories  of  Mac,  the  communist  with  uinisual 
sex  problems,  and  of  Anton,  the  psychopathic 
fascist,  are  the  least  successful  of  tlic  group, 
perhaps  for  the  reason  that  they  strain  the 
reader's  crerlulity  the  most. 

These  psychoanalytic  delineations  form, 
as  Max  Lerner  jioints  out  in  (he  ititrotluilion, 
a  ()orlraif  gallery  of  the  characteristic  fig- 
ures of  our  era,  not,  he  warns,  to  be  re- 
garded "as  materials  for  a  story,  but  hu 
man  personalities  in  dcrp  trouble."  The 
warning  ih  given  with  good  reason,  for  there 


are  times  when  the  facility  and  brilliance  of 
Dr.  Lindner's  narrative  style,  combined  with 
the  fantastic  nature  of  the  stories,  tend  to 
confound  his  own  humanely  scientific  ob- 
jective so  honestly  expressed  in  tlie  fore- 
word of  his  book.

DAVISON,  LOIS  ANNE  '56 

Ask  of  the  Eagle,  A  first  volume  of  collected 
poems 

Lewisburg :  Bucknell  University  Press,  Dec. 
1954.    $2.50 

In  her  foreword  to  this  first  collection  of 
her  poems,  Lois  Anne  Davison,  now  in  her 
junior  year  at  Bucknell,  says,  "Everyone 
has  asked  himself  some  question  to  wliich 
there  is  no  answer ;  everyone  has  at  some 
time  received  an  answer  to  a  seemingly  un- 
answerable question.  These  poems  are  such 
questions  and  such  answers,  such  quests  and 
such  discoveries,  such  invocations  and  such 
replies."  The  thoughtful  sincerity  of  this 
statement  is  reflected  in  the  poems.  The 
title  poem,  "Ask  of  the  Eagle,"  catches  this 
quality  of  questioning,  and  suggests  that  the 
poet  has  discovered  the  necessary  humility 
of  being  able  to  accept  an  answer  that  is  still 
half -question : 

Would    that    the    gay,    the    brave,    the    proud, 

the  trie 
Could   end  in  endless  flight  to  endless  sky. 
But  even   he — the  eagle,  born  to  flight — 
Must  keep  his  last  appointment  here  upon  the 
ground — and  I 
Can   scarce  be   said   to  have  the  right 
To   say  the  way  a   living   thing   should   die, 
For  I  have  never  felt  the  wind  against  my  wings 
Nor  known   the   weariness  of  struggle   when 
a  storm  is  past. 
Perhaps  the  wish  of  flight  is  that  of  earthborne 

things, 
.\nd  eagles  are  content  to  rest  at  last. 

Perhaps  one  of  the  most  important  func- 
tions of  poetry  is  its  ability  to  persuade  us 
that  such  answers  are  the  only  possible  ones, 
and  that  they  are  somehow  satisfactory.  The 
poet  can  but  formulate  experience  in  such 
a  way  as  to  make  us  conscious  of  "innumera- 
ble (Ddysseys"  as  in  "Ruins  at  Night"  : 

Like    shredded    velvet,    shadows    lie 
Raggedly    on    the   white    bones 
Of    fallen    columns    of    the    temple    liall, 
Wltile    the    innumerable    Odysseys, 
Whispered  by  ghosts,  suspended  suddenly 
.\nd  waiting  for  my  passing,  silent  hang. 

The  striking  thing  about  these  poems  is 
the  balance,  unusual  for  a  young  poet,  be- 
tween direct  emotion  and  tecluiical  control. 
The  diction  and  structure  of  the  verse,  care- 
fully controlled  but  rarely  obtrusive,  allow 
the  direct  expression  of  emotion  without  per- 
mitting it  to  get  out  of  hand.  They  imixi.se 
an  element  of  classic  restraint,  curbing  elab- 
orate poses  or  overindulgence  of  sentimen- 
tality. If.  occasionally,  this  balance  is  im- 
perfect, feeling  and  thought  not  sulTiciently 
digested  in  words,  the  reader  will  remember 
that  the  complete  mastery  of  the  medium  is 
a  matter  of  long  and  hard  experience.  It  is 
surprising  not  lliat  there  are  imperfections, 
but  that  the  mastery  demonstrated  is  already 
so  firm.  The  final  poem,  "Night  Music," 
reveals  Miss  Davison's  leclinii|uc  at  its  best. 
An  intelligent  use  of  melric.-il  variation  con- 
tributes to  the  celebratiim  (if  art  and  love

PLEASE  SAVE  THESE  BIOGRAPHICAL  RECORDS;  ONLY  THE  PICTURES  OF  THE 
CANDIDATES  WILL  APPEAR  ON  THE  BALLOT  YOU  RECEIVE  IN  APRIL 


Please  Vote  in  April 

On  Page  6  j'ou  will  find  the  names,  pic- 
tures and  biographical  records  of  the  three 
candidates  chosen  to  stand  for  election  as 
Alumni  Trustee  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
Bucknell  Universitj-.  One  is  to  be  elected 
by  the  general  alumni  body  in  April  for  a 
term  of  five  years. 

The  candidates  were  carefully  diosen  from 
a  larger  group  of  nominees  suggested  by  lo- 
cal alumni  clubs,  class  presidents,  class  re- 
porters, fund  managers,  members  of  the 
Board  of  Directors  and  the  Alumni  Fund 
Committee,  as  well  as  former  alumni  trus- 
tees and  former  presidents  of  tlie  General 
Alumni  Association,  ^^'ell  over  500  alumni 
were  canvassed  for  suggestions.  Further- 
more, each  issue  of  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALL"MXUS  carried  an  outline  of  the  proce- 
dure for  nominating  a  candidate  by  petition. 

After  all  suggested  candidates  have  been 
listed  the  Alumni  Office  prepares  a  biograph- 
ical record  of  each  candidate.  These  records 
are  examined  and  discussed  by  the  nine-mem- 
ber Committee  for  the  Selection  of  Alumni 
Trustee  Candidates,  following  which  each 
committee  member  by  secret  ballot  records 
first,  second,  third,  fourth  and  fifth  choices. 
By  weighting  the  choices  on  all  ballots  the 
three  top  candidates  emerge.  The  candidates 
with  their  pictures  and  biographical  records, 
then  appear  in  the  March  issue  of  THE 
BUCKXELL  ALUMNUS,  and  in  April 
every  alumnus  with  a  known  address  re- 
ceives a  postage-free  ballot  for  voting.  After 
studying  the  election  procedures  at  scores  of 
colleges,  a  committee  of  alumni  have  come 
to  the  conclusion  that  Bucknell's  plan  is  as 
democratic  as  it  can  possibly  be.  Believe 
it  or  not,  there  are  still  some  colleges  where 
the  alumni  board  selects  one  candidate  and 
submits  his  name  to  the  Trustees  for  ap- 
proval and  election ! 

Alumni  now  serving  on  the  Board  of 
Trustees  through  election  of  that  body,  but 
who  were  originally  nominated  for  member- 
ship by  the  General  Alumni  Association,  in-

William  R.  White  76,  and  Andrew  R.  Math- 
ieson  '20. 

Alumni  now  serving  on  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees, on  nomination  by  the  General  Alumni 
Association,  are  Russell  E.  Boyer  '18  C195S)  ;

Esf).  '.36  C1959).  History  has  supplied  am- 
ple evidence  that  the  members  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees,  from  whatever  source  selected, 
serve  not  the  Trustees,  nor  the  Alumni  As- 
vxriation.  but  the  University,  which  is  as  it 
slvjuld  be.

Bunnell  '00  Honored 


DR.  CHARLES  E.  BUNNELL  '00 

Dr.  Charles  E.  Bunnell  '00,  H  '25,  oc- 
cupies a  prominent  place  in  the  January  25, 
1955,  issue  of  the  Fairbanks,  Alaska,  Daily 
Ncii's-Mincr.  This  issue  is  devoted  entirely 
to  the  University  of  Alaska,  which  was  es- 
tablished in  1921  with  Dr.  Bunnell  as  its 
head.  He  had  for  years  dreamed  of  a  uni 
versify  in  Alaska  and  gave  the  next  twen- 
ty-eight years  of  his  life  to  building  up  this 
institution,  which  now  is  one  of  the  recog- 
nized land-grant  colleges  of  the  country. 

The  University  of  Alaska,  situated  at 
Fairbanks,  two  hundred  miles  south  of  the 
Arctic  Circle,  is  in  a  strategic  position  as 
far  as  the  defense  of  North  America  is 
concerned.  The  Geophysical  Institute,  es- 
tablished there  upon  the  recommendation  of 
the  National  Research  Council  and  housed 
in  a  million-dollar  building,  is  making  sig- 
nificant contributions  to  the  study  of  the 
upper  atmosphere,  which  presents  serious 
problems  in  this  part  of  the  world.  Mining 
and  agricultural  interests  of  Alaska,  as  well 
as  the  preparation  of  teachers  for  the  Ter- 
ritory, fiave  been  important  concerns  of  the 
University  leaders. 

In  the  early  days  the  Alaska  Agricultural 
College  and  School  of  Mines,  as  it  was  then 
called,  had  only  a  liandful  of  students.  To- 
day the  regular  college  population  numbers 
450.  Two  Community  Colleges — at  An- 
chorage and  Ketchikan — along  with  a  rap- 
idly growing  summer  school  and  more  tlian 
1000  students  in  extension  courses  bring  the 
attendance  to  approximately  2500.  To  meet 
the  growing  enrollment  the  Board  of  Regents 
is  asking  the  Territorial  Legislature  for  an 
appropriation  of  $6,000,000  for  the  current 
biennium. 

Charles  E.  Bunnell,  one  of  Bucknell's 
most  eminent  alumni,  and  by  many  consid- 
ered the  number  one  Alaska  pioneer,  entered 
on  his  career  as  a  university  president  with 
a  .solid  background  'jf  richievtment.  An  out- 
standing Bucknell  athlete  and  lop  sludent  in 
his  graduating  class,  he  went  to  Alaska  in 
1900  as  a  teacher  in  a  mission  school.  From 
there  he  moved  to  Valdez  as  i)rincipal.  After 
five  years  he  entered  law  and  at  the  age  of 
37  was  appointed  by  President  Wil.son  judge 
of  the  I''ourth  Judirial  District  of  Alaska, 
After  seven  years  as  judge,  he  became  the 
University's  first  presideiil,  which  pnsitinn 
he  held  until  his  retiremrni  in   1949. 

This  stf)ry  may  sound  like  a  very  traiii|iiil 
step-by-slep  movruicut  from  fine  position  1o 
a  higher  one.  iJon'i  be  deceived,  lie  was 
a  leader  in  praclically  every  move  for  the 
educational,  erononiic  arul  moral  improve- 
ment of  Alaska,  and  no  fiidili-r  like  Charles 
Bunnell  would  have  a  tranf|uil  life.  Right 
now  he  is  writing  a  history  of  tliir  Univer- 
sity.

Career  of  Ann  Gilchrist  Strong 
Spans  Three  Continents 

We  venture  to  say  that  not  many  Buck- 
nellians  can  match  the  extensive  career  en- 
joyed by  Mrs.  Ann  Gilchrist  Strong  of  the 
Class  of  1899,  Dean  Emeritus  of  the  School 
of  Home  Science  of  the  University  of 
Otago  in  Dunedin,  New  Zealand. 

Born  in  Carthage,  Illinois,  in  1875,  with 
ancestors  that  included  Edward  Winslow, 
first  governor  of  Massachusetts,  who  ar- 
rived on  the  Mayflower  in  1620,  and  a  de- 
scendant of  Nathaniel  Pope,  a  cousin  of 
George  Washington,  Mrs.  Strong  apparent- 
ly has  always  believed  in  keeping  on  the 
move.  Her  preparation  for  a  teaching  ca- 
reer included  work  at  Bucknell  University, 
Maryland  College,  Abbott  Academy,  Clarke 
University  and  Teacliers  College,  Columbia 
University. 

After  such  a  diversified  preparation,  it 
was  only  natural  for  her  to  keep  on  the 
move.  After  teaching  in  Florida  and  Mary- 
land in  elementary  schools,  she  later  served 
at  the  University  of  Tennessee,  University 
of  the  South,  Cornell  University,  Cincin- 
nati University,  Columbia  University,  Kan- 
sas State  College  and  in  1917  started  a  four- 
year  teacher  training  program  in  Baroda, 
India.  In  1921  she  became  professor  of 
household  arts  at  the  University  of  Otago, 
Dunedin,  New  Zealand  and  twenty  years 
later  retired  as  Dean  Emeritus  of  the  Uni- 
versity. She  was  granted  the  Order  of  the 
British  Empire  by  King  George  in  Tibet 
in  1937  and  was  awarded  the  Coronation 
medal  by  King  Edward  VIII. 

In  1907  she  married  Benjamin  Rush 
Strong.     He  died  in  1911. 

Prevented  from  returning  to  America  by 
tlie  frozen  currency  problem,  Mrs.  Strong 
still  keeps  in  touch  with  Bucknell  tlirough 
correspondence  and  sent  the  following  note 
with  her  most  recent  contribution  to  the 
Bucknell   Alumni   Annual   Giving  Program: 

"I  wish  I  might  have  revisited  Bucknell 
when  I  returned  to  America  four  years 
ago  but  both  time  and  money  prevented  it. 
I  fear  I  am  destined  to  end  my  days  in  New 
Zealand. 

"Unfortunately,  I  have  to  spin  out  my 
small  accumulation  of  funds  not  knowing 
how  long  I  am  destined  to  live,  and  we  are 
not  permitted  to  exchange  New  Zealand 
pounds  for  dollars,  and  I  have  but  few  of 
the  latter,  however  I  am  enclosing  a  small 
cheque  with  my  best  wishes. 

"I  don't  suppose  many  of  the  alumnae 
remember  me,  but  Dr.  Mary  Wolfe  probably 
will,  also  Dr.  Mary  Harris,  daughter  of  the 
president  in  my  day,  and  of  course  Morris 
Van  Gundy  who  was  a  classmate.  I  had  a 
letter  from  Professor  Owens  several  years 
ago  congratulating  me  on  belonging  to  the 
I'"meritus   Club. 

"With  very  best  wishes  for  the  future  of 
Bucknell,  and  all   Buckncllians. 

"I  am  yours  very  sincerely. 
Mks.  Ann  Giixituist  Strong,  O.B.R." 

Let's  hope  that  even  though  Mrs.  .Strong 
cainiot  visit  America  that  some  Huckncllian 
will  soon  be  able  to  visit  her  in  New  Zea- 
laiul.

SPORTS 


HOPEFUL  HOOPSTERS 


1954-55  BUCKNELL  VAKSITY  BASKETBALL  SQUAD 

(Left  to  Right)— John  Beatty,  Al  Kenzie,  Mike  Corrigan,  Herb  Cox,  Rick  Johnson  Norm  Voorhees.  Hank 
Schanley,  Ben  Slavitt,  Joe  Baccelli,  Maity  Tannenbaum.  Don  Wain,  Ray  Rappel,  Manager  Leo  Eisner. 


It  was  cold  in  Lewisburg  during  the  month 
of  January.  The  sun  came  out  once  in  a 
while,  but  the  snow  never  did  melt  com- 
pletely. Sometimes  your  car  wouldn't  start 
in  the  morning.  When  the  month  drew 
to  a  close  Ben  Kribbs'  Bison  hoopsters  were 
still  hoping  for  a  thaw  and  the  end  of  their 
losing  skein. 

Hampered  by  a  severe  lack  of  height, 
Kribbs'  sophomore-dominated  club  dropped 
its  final  December  contest  to  Rutgers,  lost 
five  in  a  row  in  January  and  entered  the 
month  of  February  with  a  1-9  record  and 
nine  losses  in  a  row.  The  Bison  varsity 
basketeers  hadn't  copped  a  verdict  since  their 
102-87  opening  night  triumph  over  Albright. 

It  would  be  unfair  to  say  that  the  Kribbs- 
men  have  played  poorly.  They  have  not. 
The  Bison  sophs  have  played  a  good  brand 
of  ball  and,  at  times,  have  been  excellent. 
The  heiglit  disadvantage,  however,  has  been 
terrific. 

Against  Lafayette,  for  instance,  the  Buck- 
nellians  enjoyed  one  of  their  best  nights  of 
the  campaign,  tallying  93  points  and  hitting 
on  a  fine  percentage  of  their  shots.  The 
Maroon,  however,  sported  a  first-line  com- 
bination that  featured  three  men  taller  than 


6'  4".  With  only  one  man — 6'  4"  John  Beatty 
— taller  than  6'  4",  the  locals  were  completely 
out-manned  and  dropped  the  contest  117-93 
as  most  of  the  Davis  gym  scoring  records 
went  down  the  drain. 

Fortunately,  things  shouldn't  go  from  bad 
to  worse.  The  first  half  of  the  varsity  hoop 
card  was  by  far  the  toughest,  and  Kribbs' 
present  charges  still  appear  to  be  a  good  bet 
to  better  last  winter's  4-16  basketball  record.

Coaching  Staff 

Bucknell's  batterj'  of  athletic  coaches  will 
be  unchanged  next  year,  according  to  an  an- 
nouncement made  by  Athletic  Director  Al 
Humphreys  on  Jan.  20. 

Humphreys  dismissed  campus  rumors  that 
football  mentor  Harry  Lawrence  would  not 
return  by  stating  that  Lawrence  would  be 
back  again  next  fall  along  with  all  the  other 
present  Bucknell  athletic  tutors. 

Returning  to  the  helm  of  Orange  and 
Blue  teams  next  fall  will  be  Lawrence,  bas- 
ketball and  frosh  grid  coach  Ben  Kribbs, 
baseball,  freshman  basketball  and  grid  line 
coach  Bill  Lane,  soccer  and  tennis  mentor 
Hank  Peters,  wrestling  and  grid  backfield 
coach  Smokey  Ostendarp  and  track  and  in- 
tramural supervisor  Bus  Blum.  Hal  Biggs 
will  serve  as  trainer.

Grid  Draft 

Bob  Antkowiak,  Marion  Minker  and  Ron 
Lloyd,  three  230-pound  Bucknell  tackles, 
were  tapped  for  possible  professional  foot- 
ball duty  by  teams  of  the  National  Football 
League  at  the  league's  annual  January 
"draft"   meetings. 

Minker,  a  Towson,  Md.  boy,  was  selected 
by  the  Baltimore  Colts,  Antkowiak,  of  Bal- 
timore, Md.,  was  picked  by  the  Green  Bay 
Packers,  while  the  Philadelphia  Eagles 
grabbed  Lloyd,  a  Forty   Fort,   Pa.  resident. 

All  three  Bison  linemen  have  indicated  a 
willingness  to  "take  a  crack"  at  pro  foot- 
ball, but  obligated  U.  S.  Army  service  after 
graduation  will  prevent  extended  play-for- 
pay  careers  for  the  boys  in  the  near  future. 


Spring  Sports  Preview 

In  the  Spring  many  a  young  man's  fancy 
often  turns  to  things  other  than  it  is  sup- 
posed to.  At  Bucknell,  for  instance  and  in 
the  very  near  future,  the  male  collegian 
may  soon  find  his  fancy  turning  to  such 
un-romantic  things  as  baseball,  track,  tennis, 
golf  and  spring  football. 

With  the  advent  of  sunny  weather  and 
the  disappearance  of  the  white  precipitation 
that  held  forth  during  January  and  February, 
some  120  Bucknell  athletes  will  pour  out- 
doors for  participation  in  the  extensive 
Spring  sports  program  drawn  up  by  Ath- 
letic  Director   Al   Humphreys. 

Mid-March  football  drills  will  open  the 
door  to  two  and  one-half  months  of  athletic 
activity  that  will  continue  until  May  28, 
when  final  exams  nail  down  the  lid  on  all 
Bison  sports  participation  for  another  school 
year. 

BASEBALL 

Strong  pitching  performances  by  right- 
hander Jack  Flurer  and  southpaw  Don  Rich- 
ards should  carry  Bucknell's  diamond  squad 
to  a  highly  successful  season,  according  to 
baseball  coach  Bill  Lane. 

Lane,  who  hit  the  spheroid  far  and  often 
when  he  was  a  Bucknell  undergrad,  feels 
that  this  spring's  Bison  baseball  team  will 
be  one  of  the  best  of  the  post-war  era.  Con- 
nie Mack  says  that  pitching  is  75  percent 
of  the  game,  and  Lane  agrees.  He  has  the 
pitchers. 

Behind  Richards  and  Flurer,  Lane  has 
Tom  King,  Keith  Tucker  and  sophs  Bob 
Beck  and  Howie  Sipler.  With  a  sound  pitch- 
ing staff  and  some  timely  hits  from  fellows 
like  catcher  Rich  McFarland,  first  baseman 
Bob  Wliitehead,  outfielder  Roy  Rangnow 
and  second  sacker  and  captain  George  Klau- 
der,  the  Bison  mentor  looks  for  his  team  to 
improve  on  last  year's  8-7-1  record. 

TRACK 

Bucknell's  1955  track  team  will  be  an  in- 
teresting combination  that  should  make  things 
tough  for  all  opponents.  Last  year  the  Bi- 
son cindermen  copped  two  of  five  dual  or 
triangular  meets.  This  spring  they  should 
do  as  well,  if  not  better. 

Veteran  coach  Bus  Blum  will  be  especially 
strong  in  the  sprints  and  in  some  of  the  field 
events.  Ed  Burg  and  captain  Frank  Van- 
derhoof,  who  did  well  last  year,  will  again 
hold  forth  in  the  100  and  220.  Blum  also 
looks  for  good  work  from  Mid-Atlantic 
high  jump  champ  Harold  Smith. 

Returning  for  duty  in  the  shot  put  and 
pole  vaulting  events  are  Ron  Lloyd  and  Tom 
Sprague.  Both  were  stalwarts  last  spring. 
Blum  also  holds  sophomore  distance  run- 
ner Art  Saunders  in  high  regard.  The  track 
tutor  hopes  that  the  soph  will  be  able  to 
pick  up  some  of  the  slack  in  his  weakest 
area — the  middle  and  long  distance  runs. 

TENNIS 

Hank  Peters  has  often  found  it  a  bit  dif- 
ficult to  scrape  together  enough  capable  ten- 
nis players  to  form  a  Bison  team.  He  has 
made  it  each  spring,  however,  and  usually 
with  a   winner. 

This  year  things  will  be  different.  No 
searching  is  necessary.  Eleven  boys  have 
indicated  a  desire  to  play  tennis  this  season 
and  a  dog-fight  is  already  shaping  up  for 
positions  on  the  squad,  and  a  chance  to  take 
part  in  the  extensive  schedule  of  20  matches. 

Peters'  charges  ran  up  a  10-4  record 
against  the  East's  best  last  year,  and  the 
Bison  coach  hopes  his  team  can  duplicate 
that  fine  performance  again  this  spring.  He 
expects  Colgate,  Navy,  Penn  State  and 
Syracuse  to  be  particularly  tough.

How  Big  Should  Bueknell  Be? 

To  the  Editor: 

Personally,  I've  always  hankered  for 
the  intimacy  of  small  enrollments.  I'd 
prefer  a  small  student  population  and  a 
continuing  growth  in  quality.  Let  Colum- 
bia. UCL.\,  Penn,  Penn  State  and  the 
rest  battle  for  the  "biggest"  honors: 
Bueknell  should  strive  for  aces  in  well- 
rounded,  intelligent  graduates  who  never 
tire  in  their  search  for  the  basic  truths. 

The  comment  in  the  ALUMNUS  men- 
tions the  "prestige"  of  a  big  school. 
"Prestige"  is  a  hollow,  hollow  term,  and 
the  "prestige  of  bigness"  is  something 
that  I  thought  passed  away  with  the  bull 
market  of  1929.  But  here  it  rears  its  one- 
eyed  head  once  again. 

I  have  observed  and  worked  with  some 
graduates  of  "big"  universities  who  should 
never  have  had  a  high  school  diploma 
judging  from  the  inadequacy-  of  their 
basic  elementals.  Somehow,  in  the  hurly- 
burly  of  the  "big"  school,  they  were  able 
to   hide   these   deficiencies   and   graduate. 

Bueknell  students  and  alumni  should 
strive  to  build  a  bigger  endowment  aimed 
at  providing  a  higher  standard  of  living 
for  a  teaching  force  geared  to  the  qualitj- 
of    an    intimate,    small-class    relationship. 

This  could  go  on  and  on,  Buck,  but 
enough  for  now. 

Best  regards, 

V'lC  Olevar  'iZ 


To  the  Editor: 

Each  issue  of  the  ALUMNUS  reports 
the  continuing  growth  of  Bueknell,  both 
in  size  and  stature.  I,  for  one,  hope  the 
student  body  will  not  go  much  beyond 
three  thousand.  Those  of  us  who  grad- 
uated ump-teen  years  ago  sought,  among 
other  things,  the  intimate  atmosphere  of 
the  "small"  college.  There  must  be  change 
and  progress,  of  course,  but  Bueknell  will 
lose  much  that  is  precious,  even  though 
intangible,  if  it  approaches  the  "big" 
school  idea.  This  Bueknell  couple  would 
like  to  see  our  school  the  "biggest"  of 
the  smaller  colleges — big  in  philosophy, 
big  in  quality  of  faculty,  big  in  calibre  of 
students.  This  type  of  growth  can  con- 
tinue within  the  confines  of  a  small  stu- 
dent body.  With  all  due  respect  to  Mr. 
Hill  '53,  may  I  enter  a  protest  against 
state  aid,  which  is  rarely  given  without 
state  supervision.  There  is  nothing  wrong 
with  state-governed  education  for  those 
who  seek  it — but  not  at  Bueknell,  please. 

We  wish  all  of  you  on  the  "Hill"  a 
very   Happy  New  Year! 

Sincerely  yours, 

Rl-tji  Ckoft  Fostku  '.39

Ocar  Classmates  of  l;ui knell: 

I'm  still  on  Cloud  No,  7,  after  our  won- 
derful twentieth  reunion  week-end  in 
/-ewisburg!  What  a  Kood  lime  we  had! 
I  made  a  last  minute  decision  to  drive 
''vcr  alone  and  as  I  whi/.zcd  through  the 
Ccnnsylvania  countryside,  fragrant  with 
lover  and  honeysuckle,  I  sang  (fortu- 
nately I  was  alone!)  "fionna  Take  a 
.Sentimental  Journey"  and  "  'Kay  Buek- 
nell!" (the  only  school  song  I  could  seem 

M  A  K  r  II      I  »  3  3 


to  remember,  except  for  a  few  dubious 
fraternity  ditties!)  But  the  nearer  I 
came  to  Lewisburg,  the  more  my  con- 
victions oozed  away.  I  became  alarmingly 
certain  that  the  trip  was  a  mistake,  that 
I  wouldn't  know  anybody  (and  worse 
for  the  ego,  that  nobody  would  know  me! 
Ha!),  that  I  couldn't  find  a  place  to  stay 
(I'm  the  improvident  type — hadn't  made 
a  reservation  anywhere),  that  the  business 
sessions  would  be  solemn  (they  weren't!), 
that  the  Alumni  Luncheon  would  be  in- 
terminable (under  Emily  Devine  Kelly  it 
had  sparkle!)  and  the  Commencement 
Play  wouldn't  be  as  good  as  in  "the  good 
old  days"   (how  wrong  can  you   be?). 

I  drove  up  to  Hotel  Lewisburger  at  9:30 
Friday  night  (I  always  had  a  sort  of  yen 
to  stay  there  but  never  had  a  chance  while 
I  lived  at  the  Sem)  and  presented  myself, 
disheveled  and  dusty,  at  the  desk.  Cer- 
tainly I  could  have  a  room!  Of  course, 
the  shower  was  about  a  quarter  of  a 
mile  toward  Mifflinburg,  but  I   managed. 

The  moment  I  drove  onto  the  campus, 
the  old  enchantment  began  working. 
There  were  the  oaks  and  dried-up  Buffa- 
lo Run,  the  cool  bricks  and  the  sun- 
dappled  grass.  And  all  of  you,  even  from 
California  and  Iowa,  sauntering  up  and 
down  the  Hill. 

All  this  was  before  I  registered.  (You'd 
never  know  the  old  Library — it  has  a 
shiny  new  bookstore).  But  from  that  mo- 
ment on,  memories  gave  way  to  real  peo- 
ple— our  classmates — looking  blessed  fa- 
miliar (even  if  we  did  have  to  peer  at 
name  cards)  and  radiating  poise  and  en- 
ergy and  accomplishments.  I  wish  I 
could  tell  you  what  a  delight  it  was  to 
remember  and  be  remembered,  for  your 
activities  of  twenty  years  ago,  for  your 
friendships,  for  the  funny  things  you 
shared,  for  classes  gotten  through  to- 
gether, for  long-buried  memories  that 
needed  only  a  familiar  face  to  come  surg- 
ing back. 

I  had  been  picturing  us  as  I  saw  us  in 
1934,  tentative,  a  little  defensive,  feeling 
inadequate  when  we  stopped  to  think 
about  making  our  way  in  a  depression 
world,  expressing  boundless  confidence 
when  we  didn't,  callow,  uninformed,  naive 
and,  of  course,  completely  enchanting 
when  seen  through  the  mist  of  memory. 

The  reality  was  better.  There  were 
the  same  faces,  etched  and  shadowed  by 
struggle  and  success.  There  were  the 
same  outreachings  of  acquaintances  who 
might  have  been  friends  twenty  years  ago, 
if  campus  politics  had  been  different  or 
individualities  had  been  more  resilient. 
There  were  the  realized  |)otenlials,  having 
grown  from  trace  elements  in  the  person- 
alities into  firm  characteristics.  ("I  al- 
ways knew  you'd  be  a  success  at  that.") 
There  were  the  surprises  ("How  did  you 
get  into  that  field?"  "I  didn't  kn(jw  you 
were  interested  in  that."  "When  flid  you 
start  with  that  company?").  And  best 
of  all,  there  was  the  ease  with  ^vhich  we 
iiiel,  as  adults,  with  the  security  of  years, 
if  not  of  success,  behind  us,  no  axes  to 
grind,  no  rivalries  to  pursue,  able  to  de- 
light unreservedly  in  each  other's  cnni 
pany. 

Oh,  you'd  have  been  glad  of  your  class- 
mates, as   I    was.     And   you'd   already   be 
looking    forward    to    your    next    reunion 
and  vowing  not  Ir)  miss  it  for  the  world. 
With   love  to  you  all, 

I  Jot  Kksteii  '34 


To  the   Editor: 

My  wife  and  I  enjoyed  the  Alumni 
Weekend  very  much.  It  was  most  pleas- 
ant seeing  people  that  I  hadn't  seen  for 
twenty-five  years.  The  Silver  Anniver- 
sary booklet  entitled  "6.000  Years  of  '29" 
that  Paul  Fink,  the  Alumni  Office,  and 
others  worked  so  hard  on  has  brought 
me  much  pleasure  and  the  pages  are  well 
thumbed  by  now.  In  fact  I  was  so  stimu- 
lated that  this  summer  our  family  trav- 
eled all  the  way  out  to  Geneseo,  Illinois, 
to  visit  my  old  college  roommate,  Charles 
H.  Rivenburg  '29  of  Glee  Club  fame  and 
his  family,  who  could  not  attend,  but  were 
listed  in  the  book. 

Very  sincerely  yours, 

Horace  J.  Sheppard  '29 

The  Curriculum :  Then 

To  the  Editor : 

I  was  very  much  interested  in  the  article 
"The  Curriculum :  Then,  Now,  and  Tomor- 
row," appearing  in  the  November  issue  of 
THE  ALUMNUS.  While  it  is  true  that 
a  large  part  of  the  curriculum,  70  years  ago, 
was  assigned  to  the  traditional  Latin.  Greek, 
and  Mathematics,  the  required  list  of  stud- 
ies included  also  French,  German,  English 
Literature,  English  History,  Anthropology, 
Rhetoric,  Logic,  Botany,  Zoology,  Physiol- 
ogy, Geology,  Chemistry,  Physics,  Astron- 
omy, Psychology,  Philosophy  and  Ethics. 
Besides,  there  were  elective  courses  in  other 
modern  languages  and  science.  Two  liter- 
ary societies,  Euepia,  and  Theta  Alpha, 
called  for  debating,  which  was  usually  en- 
thusiastic, and  "oratory."  It  will  be  ad- 
mitted that  this  program  had  breadth;  of 
course  the  extent  and  depth  of  today's  pro- 
gram were  not  possible. 

As  the  surviving  member  of  the  first  grad- 
uating class  of  Bueknell  (1887),  I  pay  loyal 
tribute  to  the  faithful  and  inspiring  faculty 
of  nine  professors,  who  taught  a  study  Iiody 
of  less  than  100.

Richards' Address  Hits  29  States 

Back  in  February  of  1954,  Earl  M.  Rich- 
ards '13,  who  has  since  retired  as  Vice 
President  of  Republic  Steel  Corporation,  ad- 
dressed a  meeting  of  the  Bueknell  Business 
Forum  at  Sunbury,  Pa.  on  the  subject,  "The 
Iron  Ore  Outlook  of  the  United  States." 
Having  made  a  career  of  looking  aliead  for 
Republic  and  having  had  a  hand  in  the  now 
famous  l.abrador-()nebcc  project,  not  to 
mention  the  St.  Lawrence  Seaway  project, 
wluit   Earl  had  to  say  was  important. 

"Iron  Age",  the  leading  trade  magazine 
in  the  field,  rei)ortcd  the  speech  almost  in 
tdtii.  As  a  result,  the  Bueknell  University 
Press  decided  that  the  speech  should  he 
given  pernianml  Idrni  mikI  eniise(|iienlly 
publislied   it. 

As  with  all  such  publications,  it  was  even- 
tually noted  in  the  various  lists  of  new  puh- 
lieati(ins  by  which  librarians  keep  pace  with 
the  constant  (low  of  new  material.  Conse- 
(|uently,  the  University  Press  became  deluged 
with  requests  for  the  pamphlet. 

At  lliis  writing,  nearly  a  year  after  the 
lioolilet  was  published,  requests  are  still 
eoming  in.  To  date  cupies  have  been  mailed 
111  r(j|lcge,  public  and  private  libraries  in 
29  sl.ites,  the  District  of  Columbia  and 
British  ('olnmliia.  Nearly  two  thousand  cop- 
ies in  all  have  been  distributed. 

There  are  still  a  few  copies  available  for 
any  Alumni  who  may  care  to  have  them. 
Simply  address  your  request  (o  Bueknell

CLUB  ACTIVITIES 


Buckiiell  Birthday  Celebrated 
Far  and  Wide 

At  least  25  Bucknell  Alumni  Clubs  held 
special  meetings  in  February  to  celebrate 
Bucknell's  109th  anniversary  of  the  grant- 
ing of  the  University  Charter.  The  exact 
date  of  the  birtliday  was  February  5,  and 
eight  of  our  clubs  were  able  to  meet  on 
that  evening. 

The  highlight  of  the  celebration  on  the 
campus  was  the  annual  dimier  of  the  Alum- 
ni Clubs  of  Lewisburg  and  Milton  at  wliich 
a  reception  for  President  and  Mrs.  Odgers 
was  held.  Dr.  J.  Orin  Oliphant,  professor 
of  history,  delivered  the  address  of  the  eve- 
ning on  the  subject,  "Union  County  Resi- 
dents Abroad  During  the  1850's."  Other 
campus  events  celebrating  the  Charter  Day 
Anniversary  included  the  student  chapel  serv- 
ices on  Wednesday,  February  9  at  which 
the  speaker  was  Dr.  Roland  O.  Hudson  '24, 
and  the  second  annual  newsmen's  conference, 
which  was  held  on  the  campus  on  February 
9,  10,  11. 

Local  Alumni  Clubs  tltat  scheduled  meet- 
ings on  or  near  the  birthday  date  included 
Washington,  D.  C,  Baltimore,  Harrisburg, 
Wilmington,  Long  Island,  Sharon,  Johns- 
town, Rochester,  Philadelphia,  York,  Cham- 
bersburg.  Providence,  St.  Petersburg,  En- 
dicott.  New  York,  Erie,  Lock  Haven,  Syra- 
cuse, South  Jersey,  Lancaster,  New  York, 
Bellefonte,  Schenectady,  Pittsfield,  Lehigh 
Valley  and  Scranton.  A  number  of  clubs 
in  other  localities  are  planning  birthday  cele- 
brations in  the  early  Spring,  when  driving 
conditions  are  likely  to  be  more  favorable. 

A  number  of  the  members  of  the  cam- 
pus family  sacrificed  their  short  weekend 
of  release  from  class  duties  between  semes- 
ters to  visit  alumni  clubs  as  speakers.  Pres- 
ident Odgers,  besides  the  Union  County  din- 
ner, traveled  to  Pliiladelphia,  New  York  and 
Scranton  for  club  meetings.  A  special  fea- 
ture of  the  New  York  dinner  and  reception 
was  the  concert  of  the  Bucknell  University 
Men's  Glee  Club  at  the  Park  Sheraton  Ho- 
tel. Other  club  speakers  included  Dean 
Malcolm  E.  Musser,  Dr.  C.  Herschel  Jones, 
Dr.  Walter  H.  Sauvain,  Professor  John  F. 
Zeller,  HI,  Dr.  James  A.  Gathings,  Alfred 
H.  Fenton,  Professor  Robert  A.  Gardner, 
Dr.  C.  Willard  Smith,  Professor  John  S. 
Gold,  Dr.  Paul  E.  Witmeyer  and  Albert  E. 
Humphreys.  The  alumni  secretarj'  appeared 
at  five  of  the  club  dinners. 

The  attendance  at  all  of  the  alumni  club 
meetings  was  encouraging  and  showed  that 
alumni  who  find  it  difficult  to  return  to  the 
campus  for  Homecoming  and  Alumni  Re- 
union Weekends  do  appreciate  the  opportu- 
nities presented  when  the  campus,  through 
faculty  speakers,  is  brought  to  the  local 
community.  The  willingness  of  faculty  mem- 
bers to  travel  to  club  centers  is  greatly  ap- 
preciated   by    the    Bucknellians    everywhere. 


HARRISBURG— T  h  e  Harrisburg  Club 
had  an  average  attendance  of  thirty-five 
at  its  dinner  meetings  held  the  first  Thurs- 
day of  each  month,  October  through  De- 
cember at  the  Central  Y.  M.  C.  A.  "Buck" 
Shott  and  Mrs.  Shott  visited  the  October 
meeting  where  Buck  gave  an  interesting 
account  of  campus  happenings  and  the 
current  program  of  the  Alumni  Associ- 
ation. The  Club  learned  that  Carl  Sprout 
'08  and  Frank  Haas  '47,  members  of  the 
Harrisburg  Club,  have  been  elected  to  the 
Board  of  Directors  of  the  Association. 
November  featured  films  showing  the  new 
long  distance  dial  system  of  Bell  Tele- 
phone, and  Reverend  Morton  Glise,  pas- 
tor of  the  Paxton  Presbyterian  Church, 
spoke   at   the    December   meeting.     Bruce 

10 


Butt  '16  presented  the  January  program 
"Energy  Is  Our  Business." 

Our  guest  in  February  was  Dean  of  Men. 
Malcolm  E.  Musser,  who  gave  us  much  in- 
teresting information  concerning  the  various 
activities,  recent  physical  improvements  and 
scholastic   standards  on  the  campus. 

Officers  for  the  1955  season  were  elect- 
ed in  December.  Jack  Miller  '52  will  be 
president;  Mrs.  William  Barnes  (Betty 
Cleckner  '45),  vice-president:  Norma  Got- 
walt  '52,  secretary ;  and  William  Fearen 
'50,  treasurer. 

M.  N.\-\'CY  Gettman  '46,  Secretary 

ST.  PETERSBURG— The  annual  dinner 
of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of  St.  Pe- 
tersburg was  held  on  Feb.  5th,  at  the 
Hotel  Pennsylvania.  There  were  twenty- 
four  in  attendance.  The  president.  Dr.  J. 
Earle    Edwards    '10   gave    the    invocation. 

Welcomed  as  guests  were  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Harry  E.  Stabler  'Zi  of  Endicott,  N.  Y. ; 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Brownell,  of  Lewisburg; 
Mrs.  Sarah  Ray  Way  who  brought  as  her 
guests  —  Mrs.  Ralph  Stevens  and  Mrs. 
Needles  of  Cape  May,  N.  J. ;  Mr.  Cruik- 
shank,  father  of  Mary  Jane  Graves  '46, 
and  a  son  who  graduated  in  '48.  Dr. 
Woodruff  '90  of  Selinsgrove  came  with 
his  daughter,  Mrs.  Martin  and  his  grand- 
son.    Mr.  and  Mrs.  Entz  also  joined  us. 

Messages  were  read  from  Dr.  Riven- 
burg  and  Raymond  Pierson  of  Daytona 
Beach;  from  Rev.  Walter  Hilton  who  has 
recently  retired  and  now  lives  in  Avon 
Park;  from  other  Bucknellians  there  were 
letters  and  clippings.  Two  weddings  were 
announced  of  local  interest.  Bob  Weiss, 
who  went  to  Bucknell  before  going  to 
Korea,  is  taking  his  bride  to  Gainesville 
where  both  are  in  the  University-. 

The  son  of  our  own  Frank  Brown  was 
married  last  week,  and  he  will  soon  go  to 
Germany. 

Dr.  Edwards  distinguished  himself  as 
a  master  of  ceremonies  and  succeeded  in 
getting  a  speech  out  of  everyone  present. 

.A.fter  a  social  time  we  adjourned  to 
meet  on  April  2nd  for  the  annual  picnic 
at  Lake  Maggiore  at  noon. 

Ruth   S.  Porter  '05,  Secretary 

PITTSBURGH  — The  walls  bulged  at 
Childs  Restaurant  in  Pittsburgh  when  the 
Bucknellians  got  together  for  their  an- 
nual Christmas  luncheon  on  December  23. 

We  are  sorry  to  announce  the  passing 
of  Wesley  A.  Wolffe  '11,  who  for  o5 
years  was  one  of  our  most  active  and 
honored  members.  It  will  indeed  be  a 
strange  sight  to  see  Bullet's  emptj'  chair 
at  our  weekly  luncheons.  He  is  survived 
by   his  wife,   Mae  Wolffe. 

The  Western  Pennsylvania  alumni  are 
proud  that  one  of  their  members,  James 
A.  Replogle  '26,  is  a  candidate  for  Alum- 
ni Trustee. 

At  a  recent  meeting,  Craig  Waldner  '40, 
who  for  the  past  year  has  done  an  excel- 
lent job  as  president,  announced  the  offi- 
cers for  the  forthcoming  year.  They  are: 
George  Miller  '48,  President;  Floyd  Arbo- 
gast  '40,  Vice  President;  Jack  Rickart  '52, 
Treasurer;  Chuck  Larson  '51,  Secretary. 

Bucknellians  got  together  for  the  Buck- 
nell vs.  Pitt  basketball  game  on  Feb.  2j 
and  for  a  luncheon  with  Bucknell  Alum- 
nae on  Feb.  24.  Bob  Kelchner,  our  dance 
chairman,  states  that  this  year's  Birthday 
Ball  April  23  is  bound  to  be  a  big  success. 

See  you  all  Thursday  at  12  o'clock, 
Childs  Restaurant,  Fifth  and  Smithfield 
Streets,  Pittsburgh  for  our  weekly  lunch- 
con  meetin,g. 

Chuck  Larson  '51,  Secretary 


Bucknell  Teachers  Meet 

Bucknellians  in  the  educational  field  met 
for  their  annual  P.  S.  E.  A.  convention 
luncheon  in  Harrisburg,  December  27,  and 
were  addressed  by  Mr.  Glenwood  J.  Crist 
'41,  supervising  principal  of  Montgomery- 
Clinton  schools. 

Dr.  Walter  H.  Sauvain,  head  of  the  De- 
partment of  Education,  presided  and  then 
introduced  other  Department  of  Education 
members.  They  included :  Dr.  Frank  G.  Da- 
vis '11,  Dr.  Paul  E.  Witmeyer,  Dr.  J.  Char- 
les Jones  '42,  and  Dr.  Nicholas  F.  Troisi. 

Mr.  Crist,  in  what  might  well  have  been 
the  keynote  speech  of  the  convention,  point- 
ed out  the  leading  problems  facing  the  public 
schools  of  Pennsylvania.  Recalling  that  one- 
third  of  the  school  children  of  the  Common- 
wealth are  attending  only  one-half  day 
school  sessions  and  that  one-third  are  im- 
properly housed,  he  noted  that  the  median 
annual  salary  of  $3800  places  Pennsylvania 
in  twenty-seventh  rank  among  the  states.  The 
need  for  18,000  dedicated  teachers  can  be 
met  only  by  a  prompt  upward  salary  adjust- 
ment. 


"Steamboats  on  the 
Susquehanna" 

Dr.  J.  Orin  Oliphant,  Professor  of  His- 
tory, has  written  a  lively  report  on  "The 
First  Steamboats  on  the  Upper  Susque- 
hanna River"  which  is  being  published  in 
the  Proceedings  of  the  Northumberland 
County  Historical  Society,  Volume  XX 
(1954),  pp.  71-105. 


Bucknellians  Hold  Monthly 
Luncheon  in  New  York 

Bucknellians  who  live  or  work  in 
Manhattan  and  visitors  to  the  city  are

JUNE  ALUMNI  REUNIONS  BEING  PLANNED 


Campus   and   Class   Conimittees  at  Work 


As  we  go  to  press,  your  campus  com- 
mittee of  alumni,  faculty  and  students  has 
held  several  important  meetings  to  plan 
the  program  for  alumni  reunions  to  be 
held  on  the  campus  on  June  10.  11,  12, 
13.  1955. 

Your  campus  committee  of  planners  as 
at  present  constituted  includes  Mr.  Ray- 
mond K.  Irwin  '44.  chairman,  director  of 
placement  bureau:  Mr.  Alfred  H.  Fenton, 
assistant  to  the  President:  Mrs.  Brown 
Focht  (Florence  Utt  '26),  director.  Gen- 
eral Alumni  Association:  Mr.  Walter  C. 
Geiger  '34.  superintendent  of  grounds  and 
buildings:  Mr.  John  H.  Shott  '22.  alumni 
secretary:  Mr.  Fitz  R.  Walling  '46,  ad- 
missions counselor:  Mr.  Allan  Flock,  as- 
sistant professor  of  music  education:  Mr. 
Richard  Klaber  '55.  class  president:  Miss 
Mary  B.  Told  '55.  president,  women's 
student  government  association:  Dr.  Mark 
C.  Ebersole.  assistant  professor  of  religion : 
Mr.  Charles  A.  Hollister,  assistant  professor 
of  political  science :  Mr.  Russell  E.  Dennis, 
bursar :  Miss  Grace  W.  Coulton,  director  of 
women's  residences:  Mr.  Donald  B.  Young 
'33.  comptroller:  Mrs.  E.  B.  Long  (Esther 
Baumgartner  '47").  director  of  food  service. 
Other  campus  organizations  and  offices  will 
be  represented  in  the  later  phases  of  the  re- 
union planning. 

Classes  Organizing  Too 

While  alumni  reunion  day  scheduled 
f'>r  Saturday,  June  11,  is  planned  for 
all  alumni  of  all  classes  there  are  cer- 
tr.n  groups  that  are  emphasizing  five-year 
cuiii.  ns.  In  this  group  are  the  Emer- 
itus C  S  (all  alumni  who  have  gradu- 
ated 50  or  more  years  ago),  the  Class- 
es of  1900,  1905  (the  golden  anniversary 
class).  19;0.  1915,  1920,  1925,  1930  (the 
silver  annivorsarv  class),  1935,  1940, 
1945,  1950.  1954  (the  first  year  class),  and 
the  graduating  seniors  of  the  Class  of 
1955.  Eight  li  the  reuning  classes  had 
representatives  at  a  reunion  planning  ses- 
sion held  last  Oc'.rbcr  during  Homecom- 


ing Weekend,  and  it  is  evident  that  all  of 
the  reunion  groups  are  making  plans  to 
assure  you  that  your  weekend  on  the 
campus  will  provide  maximum  opportu- 
nities for  reuning  and  reminiscing.  Since 
the  October  organizing  meeting,  a  num- 
ber of  class  group  planners  have  spent 
weekends  on  the  campus  in  Alumni  Head- 
quarters planning  the  details  of  the  vari- 
ous  class   programs. 

It  is  evident  that  more  groups  than  ever 
plan  to  produce  an  anniverasr\"  issue  of 
the  L'Agcnda.  These  books,  portraying 
the  history  of  the  class  from  graduation 
day  to  the  present  time,  are  proving  to 
be  one  of  the  highlights  of  the  reunion 
weekend.  Individual  class  members  are 
already  receiving  questionnaires  that  will 
provide  the  information  to  appear  in  the 
anniversary  book,  which  will  be  distrib- 
uted to  classmates  on  Alumni  Day.  June 
11. 

A  Full  Program 

Your  campus  committee,  after  survey- 
ing the  alumni  who  attended  alumni  re- 
union programs  on  the  campus  during  the 
past  two  years,  is  attempting  to  organize 
activities  most  pleasing  to  reunioners.  The 
tentati\-e  program  is  shown  on  this  page.  We 
suggest  that  you  look  over  the  many  inter- 
esting events  that  have  been  scheduled. 
Generally  speaking,  the  only  conflict  of 
events  occurs  on  Saturday  evening  when 
you  are  offered  the  opportunity  of  attend- 
ing the  Cap  and  Dagger  production  or  the 
Campus  Jamboree  and  Entertainment.  Ac- 
tually, there  are  always  more  than  enough 
alumni  on  campus  to  guarantee  full  houses 
at  both  these  events,  but  in  recent  years 
neither  function  has  played  to  a  full  house. 
We  feel  sure  that  most  alumni  prefer  to 
attend  one  or  the  other  of  these  events, 
but  find  that  when  they  reach  the  campus 
and  enter  the  convivial  atmosphere  of 
the  reunion  other  programs  of  entertain- 
ment present  themselves  with  tlic  result 
the  planned  functions  are  not  well  attend- 


ed. Your  planning  committee  lias  de- 
cided that  for  another  year  both  these 
events  will  be  continued,  but  their  in- 
clusion in  future  reunion  programs  will 
depend  upon  the  support  they  receive  this 
June. 

Dormitories  Available 

No  longer  is  it  necessary  for  you  to 
search  from  one  end  of  town  to  the  other 
to  find  suitable  overnight  room  accom- 
modations. A  large  part  of  the  Univer- 
sity dormitory  facilities  are  available  on 
a  first-come — first-served  basis  for  you  and 
your  family.  Many  alumni  prefer  to  re- 
turn to  the  dormitory  atmosphere  for  the 
reunion  weekend.  One  word  of  caution 
is  necessary,  however.  These  facilities 
cannot  be  guaranteed  unless  they  are  re- 
served in  adz'ancc.  A  reservation  form  for 
both  rooms  and  luncheons  will  be  includ- 
ed in  the  next  (Mav,  1955)  issue  of  THE 
BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS.  We  would 
suggest  that  you  fill  out  your  reservation 
form  as  soon  as  it  is  received  on  May  1, 
and  send  it  back  promptly  so  that  ade- 
quate room  and  luncheon  arrangements 
can  be  made  for  you.  Of  course,  rooms 
in  private  homes  in  Lewisburg  are  at  your 
disposal  as  always  and  can  be  reserved 
on  the  same  reservation  slip,  if  you  de- 
sire. The  nearby  hotels  tell  us  they  are 
already  booked  to  capacity,  so  we  cannot 
offer  you  reservation  service  in  local  ho- 
tels. 

NOW  IT  IS  UP  TO  YOU 

So  there's  the  deal!  Everything  will 
be  done  to  make  your  visit  to  the  cam- 
pus an  interesting  and  pleasant  experi- 
ence. Joe  will  be  there.  Mary  will  be 
there.  Why  not  check  with  Harry  and 
Kate  in  your  own  community  and  make 
up  a  car  pool  for  the  big  weekend  of  the 
year  in  June,  1955? 

We'll  be  looking  for  you — don't  forget 
to  make  your  reservations  in  advance.

Pennsylvania  Industry 
Helps  Bucknell 

Bucknell  is  one  of  40  Pennsylvania  Col- 
leges and  Universities  making  a  joint  ap- 
peal to  industry  in  the  State  these  days — 
with   definite  success. 

The  idea  of  State  Associations  for  so- 
liciting funds  from  industry  was  originat- 
ed in  Indiana  in  1948  when  two  College 
Presidents  managed  to  obtain  two  gifts 
totalling  $15,000.  Since  that  time,  32 
State  Associations  representing  36  States 
have  obtained  3.890  gifts  totalling  $5,836.- 
587. 

The  Pennsylvania  group,  called  the 
Foundation  For  Independent  Colleges, 
Inc.,  was  incorporated  in  June  of  1952 
with  Horace  A.  Hildreth,  President  of 
Bucknell  as  its  first  President.  As  of 
December  31,  1954  the  40  Colleges  had 
obtained  225  gifts  for  $233,313. 

This  sum,  divided  among  40  Colleges 
does  not  go  very  far,  but  the  plan  never- 
theless can  be  acclaimed  as  a  definite  suc- 
cess because  of  the  obvious  interest  in  the 
problems  of  the  small,  independent  col- 
leges of  the  State  which  the  effort  has 
aroused.  During  the  academic  year  1954- 
55,  the  Pennsylvania  Foundation  will  un- 
doubtedly double  its  income  over  the  pre- 
vious year,  and  furthermore  more  educa- 
tional work  will  have  been  accomplished 
which  should  pay  off  in  future  years. 

The  most  heartening  advance  to  date 
has  been  the  gift  of  $40,000  by  the  United 
States  Steel  Corporation,  which  put  the 
Foundation  off  to  a  flying  start  for 
1954-55. 

All  solicitation  is  made  by  the  Presi- 
dents of  the  member  institutions,  under 
the  guidance  of  an  Executive  Director 
with  offices  at  Harrisburg.  This  past  fall, 
taking  a  leaf  from  the  Indiana  book,  the 
Pennsylvania  Presidents  made  mass  at- 
tacks on  industry  in  the  Pittsburgh  and 
Philadelphia  areas.  More  than  30  Pres- 
idents spent  three  days  in  each  city  and 
made  more  than  400  calls  on  the  leading 
business  executives  of  the  State.  Buck- 
nell, being  without  a  President  at  the 
time,  was  represented  bj'  Alfred  H.  Fen- 
ton,  Assistant  to  the  President.  The  in- 
terviews were  most  encouraging.  Since 
the  calls  had  been  arranged  in  advance, 
executives  were  quite  willing  to  give  the 
Presidents  as  much  time  as  they  desired. 
As  a  result,  these  more  than  400  execu- 
tives are  well  indoctrinated  in  the  prob- 
lems   of    the    small,    independent    college. 

The  joint  appeal  that  these  40  colleges 
can  make  is  impressive.  For  example. 
80%  of  top  leadership  in  business  and 
industry  is  now  college  trained.  Of  these 
men  and  women,  71%  come  from  private 
institutions. 

The  40  Colleges  spend,  on  the  average, 
$988  per  year  to  educate  each  student.  The 
latter,  in  turn,  pays  on  the  average  $688 
for  his  education.  The  difference,  ap- 
proximately SOVc  is  made  up  from  endow- 
ment income  and  gifts.  In  addition,  these 
memljer  colleges  provide  $662,577  from 
endowment  income  and  $1,556,389  from 
operating  income  for  scholarships  each 
year.  One  student  in  every  three  is  the 
recipient   of   scholarship   aid. 

On  the  dark  side  of  the  picture,  the 
average  salary  for  a  full  professor  at  these 
40  colleges  is  only  $5,114  per  3'ear.  Asso- 
ciate professors  get  an  average  of  $4,187; 
assistant  professors  $3,859  and  instructors 
$3,319.

"Coxey"  Thompson 
Dies  in  Florida 

Robert  VV.  Thompson,  known  to  thou- 
sands of  Bucknellians  as  "Coxey",  died, 
January  22,  in  Saint  Anthony  Hospital, 
St.  Petersburg,  Florida.  He  had  been  on 
a  visit  to  his  son-in-law  and  daughter,  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Raymond  Brandiff  '27,  over  the 
Christmas   holidays. 

Few  men  have  been  closer  to  the  Uni- 
versity or  have  been  more  helpful  as  stu- 
dent and  alumnus  than  Coxey.  A  grad- 
uate of  the  Class  of  1904,  he  served  as 
alumni  class  president  and  alumni  class 
fund  manager  and  was  the  reunion  chair- 
man when  his  class  celebrated  its  50th 
reunion  on  the  campus  last  June. 

During  his  student  days,  he  served  as 
manager  of  the  varsity  football  team  and 
since  his  graduation  had  been  active  on 
the  athletic  council  and  later  the  athletic 
advisory  committee.  He  attended  the  most 
recent  meeting  of  the  committee  in  De- 
cember, 1954,  and  was  instrumental  in 
bringing  back  to  the  campus  last  Home- 
coming Day  a  group  of  a  dozen  former 
football  players  of  50  years  ago. 

He  founded  the  Peerless  Laundry  at  Lew- 
isburg  and  State  College  in  1916.  and  con- 
tinued it  in  operation  until  1953  when  he 
sold  his  interest  in  the  company. 

Always  interested  in  youth,  as  exempli- 
fied by  his  years  of  service  on  the  Lewis- 
burg  school  board,  Coxey  was  one  of  the 
founders  of  the  Susquehanna  Valley  Area 
Council  of  Boy  Scouts  in  1921.  He  was 
also  the  first  man  in  the  local  area  to  re- 
ceive the  Silver  Beaver  award  in  1930,  the 
first  vear  the  award  was  authorized  nation- 
ally. 

The  L^niversity  and  his  classmates  extend 
heartfelt  sympathy  to  his  survivors,  his 
daughter,  Mrs.  Raymond  Brandiff  (Camille 
Thompson  '24)  ;  a  sister,  Mrs.  Sarah  T. 
Steele,  Irwin ;  a  brother,  Henry  C.  Thomp- 
son '08,  Beaver  Falls. 


Stan  Butterworth  Named 
Redskin  Alumnus 

The  Washington  Redskins  learned  to  their 
sorrow  recently  that  Stan  Butterworth  '53 
won't  be  playing  football  with  them  next 
season.     The  reason  :  polio. 

Some  weeks  ago,  a  club  ofiicial  had  writ- 
ten Stan  Butterworth,  of  Woodbury,  now 
in  the  Army  and  a  former  defensive  half- 
back at  Bucknell,  asking  whether  he  still 
wished  to  play  professional  football.  But- 
terworth signed  with  the  Redskins  in  1953 
but  went  into  the  Army  before  the  season 
opened. 

The  club  received  this  answer  from  But- 
terworth : 

"I  originally  planned  to  join  you  after  my 
discharge,"  he  wrote.  "This  past  fall  .  .  . 
I  was  stricken  with  polio  and  am  now  in 
an  Army  hospital  in  Denver.  I'm  progress- 
ing fairly  well,  but  I  will  never  be  able  to 
play    football    again." 

Washington  General  Manager  Richard 
McCann  said  as  far  as  the  club  is  concerned, 
Butterworth    is    a    Redskin    "alumnus." 

"He'll  be  our  guest  at  any  Redskin  game 
he  wants  to  attend  and  will  enjoy  dressing 
room  visiting  privileges  the  same  as  other 
former  players."  McCann  said. 

After  graduating  from  Bucknell,  where 
he  was  a  standout  gridder,  he  enhsted  in 
the  Air  Force  and  was  assigned  to  an  air 
base  at  Denver. 

With  football  still  uppermost  in  his  mind, 
he  tried  out  for  the  base  team  and  played  a 
great  game  for  the  Denver  Flyers.  Stricken 
ill  shortly  after  the  season,  his  illness  was 
diagnosed  as  polio  and  his  grid  career  came 
to  an  abrupt  end. 

Stan  is  convalescing  at  Fitzsimmons  Army 
Hospital,  Ward  2-W,   Denver,  Colorado. 


Twenty  Years  Ago 

During  Homecoming,  President  Homer 
P.  Rainey  announced  the  definite  plans  for 
Bucknell's  Centennial  year,  including  a  $6,- 
000,000  Building  Program.  The  program 
included  a  renovation  of  Taylor  Hall.  They 
should  see  it  now?!!  Taylor  Hall  has  just 
been  renovated  again ;  it  looks  like  a  new 
building.

Scholarships,  Student  Aids 
Total  8150,712 

Scholarships  and  other  student  aid  award- 
ed by  Bucknell  University  during  the  past 
college  year  totalled  §150.712. 

Of  this  amount  $87,687  was  granted  in 
the  form  of  scholarships,  while  $63,025  was 
received  by  students  in  the  form  of  compen- 
sation for  student  service. 

Scholarship  grants,  including  both  grad- 
uate and  undergraduate  awards,  went  to  195 
students  or  about  10  per  cent  of  the  student 
body.  Financial  need  of  the  applicant  is  the 
principal  consideration  in  the  awarding  of 
scholarships  by  the  Student  Aid  Committee. 

Tlie  number  of  students  employed  by  the 
L'niversit>-  totalled  403.  Approximately  100 
of  these  earned  at  least  25  per  cent  of  their 
college  expenses.  Most  of  the  students  em- 
ployed were  upperclassmen,  since  Bucknell 
does  not  normally  engage  freshmen  for  stu- 
dent service. 

In  all.  775  individuals  received  some  form 
of  aid.  either  in  the  form  of  grants  or  em- 
plojTnents. 

Once  more,  gifts  to  Bucknell  from  alumni, 
friends,  foundation,  and  business  firms  en- 
abled the  University  to  close  its  fiscal  year 
with  a  slight  operatmg  surplus.  This  surplus 
amounted  to  S7.140. 


Industry's  New  Attitude 
Towards  Higher  Learning 

Recognizing  that  the  future  of  the  nation 
may  well  be  in  the  hands  of  institutions  of 
higher  learning.  U.  S.  industry  has  adopted 
a  whole  new  attitude  towards  higher  educa- 
tion in  the  past  few  years  and  set  up  a  series 
of  plans  to  give  help  to  colleges  and  uni- 
versities. 

With  the  announcement  of  a  S2,000,000-a- 
year  gift  program  by  General  Motors, 
TIME,  the  weekly  newsmagazine,  says  in 
the  Jan.  24  issue,  "one  thing  had  become 
clear :  U.  S.  industry  was  well  started  on  a 
lirogram  to  give  help  to  U.  S.  colleges  and 
universities — and  therefore  to  help  itself  .  .  . 
Though  U.  S.  corporations  are  far  from  us- 
ing up  the  5%  tax  exemption  allov.ed  (they 
use  less  than  \'A  for  all  types  of  philan- 
thropy ) ,  they  have  obviously  adopted  a 
whole  new  attitude  ...  as  practical  and 
down-to-earth  as  a  balance  sheet." 

Nearly  half  the  nation's  private  colleges 
are  running  in  the  red.  U,  S.  campuses  will 
need  at  least  $3,570,000,000  before  1960  for 
plant  construction  alone  and  it  will  take 
$5,500,000,000  merely  to  house  the  estimated 
jump  in  pnr.i  Imcnls  by  1970, 

Until  the  ci  i  is  became  so  acute,  most 
comirtnies  were  satisfied  to  finar  j  a  few 
K'holarships  and  professorships  or  research 
projects  related  to  their  own  work.

Introducing  Touche 

This  semester  marks  the  birth  of  a  new 
literary  magazine,  Touche,  on  Bucknell's 
campus.  The  staff  has  been  striving  dili- 
gently to  create  a  magazine  which  will 
become  a  Bucknell  tradition,  and  will  take 
its  place  beside  such  beloved  collegiate 
creations  as  the  Froth,  the  Prineetonian. 
and  the   Vale  Record. 

So  far  our  biggest  problem  has  been 
to  discover  of  what  permanently  popular 
literature  consists.  What  is  it  that  makes 
a  college  magazine  "tick"? 

Variety  is  an  essential  requirement  for 
a  good  periodical.  The  fact  that  human 
beings  are  individuals,  each  demanding  a 
different  kind  of  literature,  makes  life  dif- 
ficult for  the  staff  of  a  magazine.  To 
achieve  varietj'  in  this  realm  it  is  necessary 
to  diversify  in  types  of  literary-  composi- 
tion, \vriting  styles,  moods,  layouts,  and 
illustrations,  Touche's  layout  will  also  be 
modernized,  the  magazine  becoming  fuller 
in  content  and  larger  in  size.  We  are  ex- 
perimenting with  advertisements,  hoping 
to  make  them  a  readable  part  of  the  whole, 
rather  than  just  a  necessary  addition. 

Of  course,  it  is  obvious  that  the  best 
magazine  in  the  world  is  unsuccessful 
unless  it  sells.  Good  publicity  is  another 
part  of  the  prosperous  magazine's  foun- 
dation. Interest  must  be  cultivated;  once 
aroused,  it  must  be  fed  regularly,  or  it 
dies  slowly  and  inevitaljly.  .\  great  deal 
of  a  college  magazine's  popularity  conies 
from  its  being  a  product  of  everyone  con- 
cerned with  the  college.  It  contains  a 
part  of  everything  with  which  the  read- 
ers arc  intimately  acquainted. 

We  arc  trying  to  integrate  'Touche 
into  the  whole  of  that  which  is  Bucknell, 
for  we  feel  this  is  the  feature  which  will 
sell  it.  To  gain  the  interest  of  BiukiRl- 
lians  wc  held  a  name  contest,  from  which 
the  name  Touche  was  derived.  Our  ahnn- 
ni  clubs  have  been  provided  with  copies 
of  our  first  issue. 

The    new    Bucknell    iiiaRazine    is    (luile 
naked  yet.  like  a  newborn  baby.     We  have 
many    aspirations,    many    dreams,    and     wc 
ho|K-,   much   deterniinatioTi.     Our   aim    is   ti| 
>;ive    IJuckiiell   a   magazine   that    will    "lick." 
To  students,   faculty,  ahmnii,  and  all   liiirl< 
nelllans  we  give   Touche.     It   has  been   ere 
ated  for  you  to  develop.     We  are  poor  mid 
wives   with   little  experience   In  our   field. 


Doctors  Still  For  Bucknell 

Doctors  for  Bucknell,  that  fast-growing 
organization  of  Bucknell  Alumni  in  medi- 
cine and  allied  fields,  are  losing  no  time 
in  preparing  for  their  third  annual  meet- 
ing at  Homecoming,  1955.  Already  they 
have  engaged  Dr.  Joseph  C.  Hinsey,  Di- 
rector of  The  New  York  Hospital-Cor- 
nell Medical  Center,  to  be  guest  speaker 
at  the  annual  banquet  to  be  held  Saturday 
evening,  November  5,  after  the  Colgate 
football  game, 

Dr,  Hinsey  is  an  international  figure  in 
the  field  of  medicine  and  previous  to  ap- 
pointment to  his  present  position,  served 
as  Dean  of  the  Cornell  University  Medi- 
cal School  and  Professor  of  Anatomy.  He 
agreed  to  come  to  Bucknell  next  fall  at 
the  request  of  Dr.  Cornelius  E.  Sedg- 
wick '36,  a  surgeon  on  the  staff  of  the 
Lahey   Clinic  at  Boston, 

Doctors  for  Bucknell  have  also  arranged 
for  four  members  of  the  Temple  Univer- 
sity Medical  School  Faculty  to  come  to 
the  campus  on  Saturday,  April  23.  for  an 
all-day  conference  with  Bucknell's  pre- 
medical  students.  The  arrangements  were 
started  by  Dr,  William  F,  Darkes  '27  of 
Orwigsburg,  who  had  suggested  the  idea 
of  giving  our  pre-medical  students  an  op- 
portunity of  learning  what  lies  ahead  of 
them. 

The  conference  will  be  staged  by  the 
newly  formed  Bucknell  Pre-Medical  So- 
ciety,   which    also    was     created     at     the

CLASS  REPORTS 


EMERITUS  CLUB 

Reunion,  June  1 1 

Mrs.  Joseph  O.  Clark  (Winifred 
Patchin  '95)  died  recently,  and  the 
members  of  the  Class  of  1895  extend 
their  deepest  sympathy  to  those  who 
survive. 

E.  W.  Cober  '99  is  now  a  retired  prin- 
cipal of  Holmes  School,  in  Pittsburgh. 

Miss  Lucy  H.  Grier  '99  passed  away 
on  November  21,  1954. 

Dr.  Mary  B.  Harris  '94  attended  a 
dinner  Dec.  5,  given  by  the  University 
of  Pittsburgh  in  honor  of  the  three 
women  from  that  area  who  were  se- 
lected in  1954  as  members  of  "Distin- 
guished Daughters  of  Pennsylvania." 
The  chancellor  of  the  University  pre- 
sided at  the  dinner  and  received  the  300 
guests  in  the  stately  Cathedral  of 
Learning  in  the  Commons  where  the 
dinner  was  served.  Preceding  the  din- 
ner, there  was  a  special  vesper  service 
in  the  Heinz  Memorial  Chapel  at  which 
the  University  choir  sang,  adding  the 
beauty  of  music  to  the  perfection  of  the 
chapel's  architecture  and  the  dignity 
of  the  service.  It  was  a  memorable 
occasion. 

Oscar  R.  Levan  '99,  Mohnton,  died  on 
Dec.  21,  1954.  He  was  84.  The  mem- 
bers of  the  Class  of  1899  extend  their 
deepest  sympathy  to  his  two  surviving 
sisters,  Mayme,  of  New  York  City,  and 
Katie,  of  Orwigsburg,  and  his  niece, 
Mrs.  Derr,  with  whom  he  lived. 

Dr.  Harvey  F.  Smith  '94  presented  a 
paper  in  November  at  the  First  Annual 
Series  of  Clinic  Conferences  in  Harris- 
burg  on  "Origins  of  Cancer  Control  in 
Pennsylvania."  These  conferences  are 
sponsored  by  the  state  division  of  can- 
cer control. 

We  find  that  the  career  of  Franklin 
R.  Strayer  '94,  whose  death  was  an- 
nounced in  the  January  ALUMNUS, 
was  not  properly  reported  in  that  ac- 
count. Mr.  Strayer  retired  in  1926  from 
service  at  Morris  High  School,  New 
York  City,  after  having  served  there 
for  23  years.  He  was  a  brother  of  Dr. 
George  D.  Strayer  of  the  Bucknell  Class 
of  1900,  who  received  an  honorary  de- 
gree from  Bucknell  in  1930. 

Dr.  and  Mrs.  A.  R.  E.  Wyant  '92  are 
spending  the  winter  in  Florida  at  the 
Pennsylvania  Hotel,  West  Palm  Beach. 
Dr.  Wyant  delivered  the  dedication  ad- 
dress of  the  Youth  Lobby  of  the  Wash- 
ington Park  YMCA  (Chicago)  which 
has  been  erected  in  memory  of  his  son. 

When  Andy  Wyant  joined  the  Buck- 
nell YMCA  in  1887,  he  began  an  inter- 
est in  "Body,  Mind  and  Spirit"  service 
that  has  lasted  to  this  day.  Active  in 
YMCA  work  in  Chicago  for  over  60 
years  and  still  on  the  governing  board, 
he  has  recently  donated  $2,500  to  the 
Central  YMCA  of  Chicago  to  cover  the 
cost  of  furnishing  the  youth  center 
lobby  of  the  new  million  dollar  Wash- 
ington Park  YMCA  Building  for  ne- 
groes. Last  year  he  made  a  contribu- 
tion for  the  gymnasium  and  swimming 
pool  fund  for  the  same  building. 

Retiring  from  active  medical  prac- 
tice in  1937,  Dr.  Wyant  has  made  his 
home  in  Chicago,  but  recently  sold  his 
Beverly  Hills  home  there,  as  he  and 
Mrs.  Wyant  have  been  spending  most 
of  their  time  in  Pennsylvania  and  the 
Palm  Beaches  in  Florida. 

Dr.  Ernest  R.  Myers  died  in  Victoria, 
British  Columbia,  on  January  7,  1955. 
Dr.  Myers  entered  Bucknell  with  the 
Class   of   1896,  but   because   of   illness 

14 


lost  a  year  and  graduated  with  the 
Class  of  '97.  Receiving  his  medical  de- 
gree from  Medico-Chirurgical  College 
in  Philadelphia,  he  practiced  for  many 
years  in  Saskatoon,  Canada.  Retiring 
a  few  years  ago,  he  moved  to  Victoria. 
His  wife  died  several  years  ago.  A  sis- 
ter, Lena,  of  Dayton,  Ohio,  survives. 

Emeritus  Club  members  (all  Buck- 
nellians,  including  those  who  attended 
the  Institute  and  the  Academy  up  to 
the  Classes  of  1904)  are  cordially  urged 
to  attend  the  annual  reunion  on  the 
campus  June  11,  1955.

With  the  death  of  Elbina  L.  Bender 

(ALUMNUS,  January,  1955,  page  6), 
we  lost  our  capable  and  energetic  class 
fund  manager.  Mr.  Frank  L.  Yost,  241 
Park  Place,  Orange,  N.  J.,  has  agreed 
to  carry  on  as  class  fund  manager.  As 
a  well  deserved  tribute  to  Elbina  and 
as  encouragement  to  Frank,  let  all  of 
us  participate  this  year  in  the  Buck-

This  shoald  be  the  year  when  we  show 
our  heels  to  the  rest  of  our  nearby 
classes. 

Benajah  J.  Gardner  of  95  Weldon  St.,

Bertha;  one  daughter,  Dorothy  Gard-

The  Faiths  Men  Live  By,  Charles 
Francis  Potter's  latest  book,  continues 
to  have  excellent  reviews.  It  is  being 
praised  as  an  objective  but  sympathe- 
tic treatment  of  living  religions.  In 
these  days  of  a  shrinking  geographical 
globe  and  an  expanding  intellectual 
world,  it  behooves  us  all  to  listen  to 
what  the  other  fellow  believes.  We 
may  find  more  in  common  than  we  have 
thought.  Prentice-Hall  publishes  the 
book. 

Speaking  of  books,  let's  adopt  Dr.  J. 
Orin  Oliphant  into  the  clasi'  long  enough 
to  speak  of  his  monograph  'Tne  Begin- 
nings of  Bucknell  University,  Bucknell 
University  Press,  1954.  Orin,  who  "nas 
been  professor  of  history  at  Bucknell 
since  the  early  thirties,  has  done  a 
beautiful  piece  of  research  and  an  ex- 
cellent job  of  selection  from  the  many 
early  documents.  The  University  Press 
has  done  justice  to  the  work  by  first- 
rate  typography  and  format.  Those  of 
you  who  think  of  the  $50  annual  tuition 
and  $45  room  rent  we  paid  Gretz  or 
Eddie  Saylor  (if  we  didn't  have  a  schol- 
arship) as  about  the  minimum  in  col- 
lege costs,  will  be  surprised  at  the 
charges  of  a  century  ago.  At  that  time 
annual  "instruction"  cost  $30,  room 
rent  $7.50,  fuel  for  private  rooms  $3. 
Also  "no  pipe  or  segar  shall  be  smoked 
in  any  of  the  passages  or  public  rooms." 
The  world,  she  certainly  doss  change.

Dr.  E.  Carroll  Condict,  now  seiwing 
as  interim  Pastor  at  North  Springfield, 
Vt.  Baptist  Church,  has  a  new  address: 
Box  37,  North  Springfield,  Vt. 

In  a  recent  letter  to  your  reporter, 
Carroll  expresses  his  appreciation  to 
Mrs.  Winfield  Booth,  wife  of  our  late 
class  president,  for  the  gift  of  "Buster's" 
doctor  of  divinity  hood.  Bandits  in 
Burma  had  stolen  all  of  Carroll's  be- 
longings, among  which  was  his  own 
prized  hood  given  him  by  Bucknell  in 
1935. 

A  Christmas  card  indicates  that  Olive 
Richards  Landers  still  loves  the  out- 
doors (it  was  a  picture  of  Olive  and 
Maurice  fishing)  and  still  indulges  in 
writing  verse.  There  also  was  a  card 
from  Helen  Tiffany  Blakemore. 

Take  notice!  All  the  rest  of  you 
'08ers — You  may  send  me  an  Easter 
greeting  and  be  sure  to  make  it  your 
picture  for  our  50th  anniversary  book- 
let.   Thanks,  Carroll  Condict,  for  yours. 

We  all  rejoice  with  Paul  Stolz  in  the 

recovery   of  his   son,   Donald,   from   an

Our  45th  is  fast  approaching.  Be  sure 
to  be  in  Lewisburg  for  the  reunion 
June  11.  You'll  soon  be  hearing  more 
about  it. 

Clyde  W.  Cranmer  retired  as  Super- 
intendent of  Schools  at  Kittanning,  Pa. 
in  1946. 

David  J.  Park  retired  from  teaching 
in  1952.  He  taught  for  38  years.  He 
taught  Related  Subjects  for  30  years, 
and  he  was  a  teacher  in  the  Boys'  Vo- 
cational Department  in  the  Hazleton 
High  School. 

Thursday  evening,  January  6,  Hope 
B.  Sterner  died  very  suddenly  as  he 
was  leaving  .the  Presbyterian  Church 
in  Watsontown,  where  he  had  attended 
a  service.  Word  of  his  passing  came 
to  Paul  Abraham,  who  was  able  to  stop 
en  route  from  Muncy  to  his  home  in 
Greensburg  to  see  Mrs.  Sterner  and  ex- 
press to  her  the  sympathy  of  his  class- 
mates. Through  this  column  may  the 
sympathy  of  members  of  the  Class  of 
1910  go  also. 

Miss  Eva  E.  Weddle  retired  from 
teaching  in  June,  1953. 

As  we  go  to  press,  word  is  received 
of  the  death  of  Mrs.  John  G.  Sholl 
(Helen  Hare)  in  an  automobile  accident 
in  Frederick,  Md.  Details  are  not  now 
available  but  will  be  reported  in  our 
next  issue.

Wesley  A.  Wolffe,  known  to  thou- 
sand.s  of  Bucknell  as  "Bullets,"  died  in 
Pittsburgh  on  January  27  following 
some  weeks  of  hospitalization  with  a 
lung  condition.  Always  first  in  line 
when  Bucknell  projects  needed  support 
in  Western  Pennsylvania,  Bullets  will 
be  sadly  mis.sed  by  alumni  and  friends 
in  his  home  city.  Meetings  of  Bucknell

Miss  Sue  Weddell,  one  time  co-execu- 
tive secretary  of  the  Division  of  Foreign 
Missions,  National  Council  of  Churches, 
was  honored  at  a  dinner  in  Riverside 
Church  on  the  occasion  of  her  retire- 
ment as  acting  executive  of  the  South- 
ern Asia  Committee  of  the  Division. 
This  latter  post  was  one  she  was  asked 
to  assume  following  her  retirement  as 
the  co-executive  two  years  ago. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Clifford  Ruth  (Ruth 
Royal)  sent  a  new  address  so  jot  it 
down.  They  now  live  at  R.  D.  2,  West 
Chester,  Pa. 

I  got  my  usual  lick  at  football  last 
autumn  and  in  another  jaunt  to  Lewis- 
burg, I  made  it  my  business  to  stroll 
over  the  campus.  I  was  amazed  at  the 
material  progress  our  Alma  Mater  is 
making.  Probably  if  more  alumni 
would  return  and  note  this  change,  they 
might  be  more  responsive  to  the  Alumni 
Fund. 
Dear  Maze. 

Just  want  to  write  you  and  your  good  husband 
the  Season's  Greetings,  and  thank  you  for  the 
class  picture  and  all  the  good  work  you  are  doing 
for  the  Alumni  Association.  Should  your  journeys 
take  you  and  your  family  into  New  England,  please 
ccme  Co  see  us. 

Sincerely.

Dear  Maze. 

Have  been  reading  all  your  Bucknell  news.  It 
s'lrely  keeps  us  posted.  Keep  up  the  good  work. 
We  must  soon  begin  to  plan  for  our  45th  reunion. 
That  sure  has  been  a  long  way  back  but  the  road 
was   short.

The  stork  is  going  to  swoop  down 
upon  the  Hean  household  in  the  near 
future.  Can't  you  see  Frank  Hean 
''sputterin'  "  and  "fussin'  "  and  "rais- 
in' "  his  blood  pressure?  Just  a  tip — 
the  wee  quiet  hours  will  never  be  the 
same. 

Mr.  and   Mrs.  Leon   Crandell    (Grace 

Wolfe  '09),  60  West  Houston  Ave., 
Montgomery,  were  pleasantly  sur- 
prised recently  on  their  45th  wedding 
anniversary.  Five  of  their  six  sons  and 
daughters  and  fifteen  grandchildren 
from  Binghamton,  Rochester,  Sayre, 
Milton  and  Montgomery  attended.  One 
son,  Walter,  Laurel  Lake,  Susquehanna 
Co.,  was  unable  to  be  present.  Leon  is 
serving  as  Montgomery  Borough  Secre- 
tary and  as  magistrate.  They  were 
married  in  1910  in  Bellefonte. 

Dear  Maze. 

We  have  some  changes  in  address:  Home.  588 
Charles  Ave..  Kingston,  Pa.  and  office  address, 
34  S.  River  St..  Wilkes-Barre.   Pa. 

You  asked  about  Isabelle's  marriage  and  our 
resulting  expedition.  There  is  nothing  to  report 
of  any  particular  interest.  Isabelle  graduated 
from  Bucknell  In  1052,  taught  at  the  Gill  School 
the  following  year  and  In  September  1953  went 
with  her  aunt  Mary  B.  Harris  '94  to  vl.sit  her 
cousin  Walter  W.  Harris.  Jr.  In  Tripoli.  Africa. 
While  there  .she  got  a  job  and  also  got  acquainted 
with  Mr.  Boy  W.  Penny,  a  graduate  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  California,  who  after  about  five  years  of 
active  military  service  and  other  employment  be- 
came Involved  In  the  construction  of  an  Air  Force 
Base  In  Tripoli,  his  contractor-employer  being 
Crowe- Stcer»— Shepherd.  This  Air  Base  has  been 
practically  completed  and  a  cabloKram  received 
today  iJanuary  29.  I955i  says  that  the  Penny's  are 
on  their  way  to  the  Red  Sea  and  a  new  Air  Base. 

We  were  advised  by  letters  In  May  of  Isabelle's 
engagement,  and  of  her  desire  to  have  a  wedding 
In  Tripoli  In  August.  Wc  could  not  and  of  course 
did  not  want  to  miss  the  event,  so  we  Hew  over. 
The  wedding  was  August  7.  A  Baldwin  School 
roommate,  Mlsh  Vera  Meader  of  New  'Vork.  was 
IntendlHK  to  Hj.end  a  year  studying  art  In  Europe. 
She  went  over  earlier  than  Intended  and  acted  an 
maid  of  honor. 

We  had  a  very  Interesting  and  eventful  week  In 
Tripoli,  and  being  In  the  vicinity  of  Home,  Paris 
and  London,  we  took  advantage  of  the  opportunity 
and  iipenl  a  week  In  each  of  those  cities,  and  flew 
back  to  New  York  about  the  1st  of  September.  If 
we  go  lo  Europe  again.  It  will  probably  be  to  visit 
our  «on  Richard  W,,  who  In  about  to  go  some  place 


in  Europe  on  an  Army  assignment. 

Aside  from  the  above  about  the  only  thing  class 
wise  to  report  is  a  visit  from  Dr.  Frederick  B. 
Igler  who  came  to  Wilkes-Barra  for  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Baptist  Convention.  We  had  a  very  enjoy- 
able but  too  brief  meeting. 

We  enjoy  your  reports  very  much;  it  is  angelic 
of  you  to  devote  the  time  and  trouble  to  the  job. 

With  best  wishes. 

Sincerely.

The  holiday  season  brought  a  few 
Christmas  greetings  from  classmates. 
Besides  those  arriving  at  reporter  head- 
quarters, Marwood  Glover  added  some 
names  and  messages  from  his  list  of 
well-wishers  so  that  this  column  may 
announce  "aliveness"  from  several 
classmates  not  so  long  ago.  By  the 
way,  wasn't  that  card  from  Marwood 
glorious?  Old  Main,  bless  her,  cherish 
her  in  memory!  Names  smiling  upward 
from  holiday  cards  to  either  Marwood 
or  me:  Bright  Beck,  Bob  Rooke,  Belinda 
Potter,  Clay  Sanders,  Harold  Shaffer, 
Baker  Bernhart,  John  Fetter,  Howard 
Fisher,  The  Hawkins,  The  McKeaques, 
The  Earl  Jacksons,  George  Piersol,  Walt 
Edwards  and  Weston  Smith.  Jackson 
enclosed  a  Newscast  for  1954  revealing 
his  happiness  and  that  of  Mrs.  Jackson 
in  their  church  pastoral  life  in  Prospect 
Park.  Piersol  told  of  his  pleasure  in 
hearing  from  Bucknellians  at  his  far 
western  home  in  Los  Angeles.  Weston 
Smith  reported  his  health  improved 
from  his  incapacitation  two  and  a  half 
years  ago.  This  is  good  news,  H.  G.  W. 
For  eight  months  Weston  was  away 
from  his  pastoral  duties  at  his  church, 
Bedford,  Ohio.  "Walt"  Edwards  hopes, 
at  one  of  our  reunions,  "to  see  my 
friends  not  seen  for  so  many  years" — 
this  from  Bethlehem,  Pa. 

Berkeley  Hastings,  Milton,  was  elect- 
ed by  the  Presbytery  of  Northumber- 
land as  an  Elder  Commissioner  to  the 
General  Assembly  in  Los  Angeles  in 
May.  George  Piersol,  take  note,  possi- 
bly you  can  meet  one  of  our  classmates 
from  near  the  campus  and  receive  first- 
hand news  of  Alma  Mater. 

In  mid-January  I  saw  Jerome  Paul- 
hamus,  after  more  than  forty  years. 
Following  World  War  I,  for  fifteen  or 
more  years,  Jerry  was  with  the  Con- 
solidation Coal  Co.,  Wall  St.,  New  York, 
residing  in  East  Orange,  N,  J.  Longing 
for  the  atmosphere  of  home  territory, 
about  twenty  years  ago,  he  returned 
to  Watsontown,  became  proprietor  and 
owner  of  a  Texaco  service  station  here. 
Here  he  has  been  among  many  old  ac- 
quaintances since  that  time.  Mrs.  Paul- 
hamus  passed  away  last  April,  and 
Jerry  now  lives  alone  but  keeps  him- 
self occupied  with  his  business  and 
with  friends  about  town.  It  was  a 
lively  half  hour  we  spent  together. 

If  '13ers  could  have  strolled  into  the 
lobby  of  Rehoboth  Beach,  Delaware, 
Trust  Company  during  last  December, 
greeting  them  would  have  been  an  oil 
portrait  of  our  Leslie  W.  Stout,  presi- 
dent of  the  t'i)nip;iny,  painted  with  an 
official  paper  in  his  hand.  Beriii'c  Les- 
lie's election  as  president  in  Januar.y, 
1952,  he  had  been  associated  with  the 
First  National  Bank,  Dover,  Del.; 
Franklin  National  Bank,  Philadelphia; 
Laird,  Bissell  and  Meeds,  Wilmington; 
Industrial  Trust  Co.,  Wilmington.  Les- 
lie's portrait,  with  that  of  previous 
presidents  of  the  ('ompan.y,  will  hang 
permanently  in  the  directors'  room. 
From  all  of  us,  Leslie,  joy  in  your  dis- 
tinction.

Ralph  H.  Moore,  an  employee  of  the 
Peoples  Natural  Gas  Company  of  Pitts- 
burgh, with  offices  in  Gateway  Center, 
has  won  first  prize  of  $50  in  the  Gate- 
way Color  Slide  Contest.  The  picture 
with  which  he  won  the  prize  will  be 
made  up  as  a  color  postcard  and  soon 
will  be  available  for  distribution  to  all 
visitors  to  Gateway.  There  were  over 
120  entries  in  the  contest  to  select  the 
picture  of  the  three  skyscrapers  most 
suitable  for  reproduction  as  a  postcard. 
And,  when  the  names  of  the  makers 
were  matched  with  the  winning  slides, 
it  was  discovered  that  a  Gateway  em- 
ployee led  all  the  rest.  Ralph  has  been 
an  enthusiastic  amateur  photographer 
for  many  years.  Recently,  one  of  the 
company  publications  of  Peoples  Gas 
printed  a  picture  he  had  taken  of  the 
reflection  of  Gateway  in  one  of  the 
blacked-out  windows  of  McCann's  store. 
Ralph  offers  this  recipe  for  a  perfect 
vacation: 

FIRST:     Win   cash   prize   of   $50   the 

day  you  leave. 
SECOND:   Have  perfect  photographic 
weather  (blue  sky  and  fluffy  white 
clouds)  for  next  two  weeks. 
THIRD:    IVIix  well  in  one  automobile, 
a   limited    amount    of    luggage,    an 
unlimited   amount   of  film,   several 
cameras,    one   wife   and   one   other 
congenial  couple.     Then  follow  di- 
rections listed  below: 
Leave  Pittsburgh  on  Route  22  heading 
for   Williamsport;    then   on   to    Elmira, 
Ithaca  and  the  Finger  Lakes;  then  via 
Syracuse    into    the    Adirondack    Moun- 
tains; then  by  ferry  across  Lake  Cham- 
plain  through  the  Green  Mountains  of 
Vermont    to    the    White    Mountains    of 
New  Hampshire  and  a  trip  up  the  cog 
railway  to  the  top  of  Mt.  Washington; 
then    strike    north    through    Maine    to 
Bangor  and  the  photogenic  coast  of  Bar 
Harbor;  then  down  the  coast  via  Cape 
Ann,     Gloucester    and    Salem    with    a 
quick  glance  at  Boston,   and  out  Cape 
Cod  to  the  artists'  colony  at  Province- 
town;  take  a  day  off  for  a  boat  trip  out 
to   Nantucket   Island;   then   head   west- 
ward  through   Connecticut  and   Rhode 
Island,  crossing  the  Hudson  on  the  new 
Rip   Van   Winkle   Bridge,    through   the 
Catskills  and  the  Poconos,  back  to  Beth- 
lehem and  the  super-highway  home. 

Measure  the  trip  carefully,  never 
driving  more  than  200  miles  a  day. 
Take  any  time  during  summer  or  fall. 
If  followed  as  directed  (but  it's  up  to 
you  to  win  your  own  $50),  you  should 
have  about  2075  miles  of  perfect  vaca- 
tion and  so  many  pictures  it  will  take 
you  all  winter  to  sort  them  out. 

Bess  and  Harry  Stabler  celebrated 
their  fortieth  wedding  anniversary,  De- 
cember 27,  1954.  Our  congratulations 
to  them.

MRS.   LAYTON  E.   KING 

(Elizabeth  Champion) 

301  Broad  St..  Montcursville.  Pa. 


This  is  Winter,  with  a  big  "W" — but 
lead  pencils  never  freeze!  And  the 
mail  goes  through!  That  is  just  a  subtle 
hint. 

For  ynu  who  are  freezing  and  think- 
ing of  the  Sunny  South — Hazel  Gay 
Bailey  reports  from  Dunedin,  Florida, 
that  her  husband  and  brother-in-law 
have  opened  up  a  new  sub-division  in 
Dunedin  Isles.  I  am  sure  all  Buck- 
nellians  would  be  given  personal  atten- 
tion. 

From  the  other  side  of  the  country, 
not  from  the  Class  of  '18,  but  that  of 
'17,  Christmas  greetings  from  Sally 
Park  Titterington,  of  Ontario,  Califor- 
nia. I  am  sure  all  of  the  girls  of  the 
Class  will  remember  Sally. 

I  can  always  write  about  myself  (I 
can  get  involved  in  more  things),  but 
that  gets  boring,  even  to  me.  How- 
ever, at  the  moment  I  am  planning  on 


a  visit  to  Washington,  D.  C,  with  my 
daughter.  She  is  on  the  staff  of  the 
Textile  Museum  in  Washington  and 
lives  in  Arlington. 

Thanks  to  Mr.  Shott,  I  hope  to  have 
a  letter  off  to  you  in  the  near  future — 
and  I  want  them  all  returned.

Our  35th  Reunion,  June  11 


Paul  Stolz  is  presently  teaching  in 
the  science  and  mathematics  depart- 
ments at  Kiskiminetas  Springs  School, 
Saltsburg,  Pa. 

Herbert  E.  Stover's  sixth  book  of  fic- 
tionized  history  is  now  on  the  shelves 
of  bookstores  across  the  nation.  Dealing 
with  the  operation  of  the  underground 
railroad.  By  Night  the  Stranger  will 
soon  be  followed  by  a  seventh  novel 
concerning  the  Revolutionary  War  peri- 
od. Mr.  Stover  says  there  is  much  to 
write  about  and  so  little  time.  We're 
sure  he  is  too  modest  when  he  calls 
himself  a  "fiction  factory."  Among  his 
other  novels  are  Men  in  Buckskin,  Song 
oj  the  Susquehanna,  Powder  Mission, 
and  his  most  recently  published,  The

Mater",  also  a  community  enterprise. 
She  says,  "I  highly  recommend  a  varied

The  winds  of  March  with  beauty." 

Just  "marching"  a  little — the  diction-

step  in  regular  formation,  or  in  an  or- 
ganized body.     I  guess  that's  we,  class.

Next  to  swimming,  that  is." 

With  pleasure  I  remember  Sally  Mil-

The  months  seem  to  fly  by  between 
issues  of  THE  ALUMNUS,  and  I  am 
trying  to  keep  my  promise  made  at  our 
20th  reunion  to  have  our  class  notes  in 
every  issue  until  our  25th  reunion  in 
1959  when  perhaps  I  can  persuade  some- 
one else  to  take  over  this  chore.  Well, 
here  goes. 

Mrs.  Charles  Richards,  Jr.  (Helen  E. 
Green)  is  no  longer  in  the  teaching  pro- 
fession. She  is  the  homemaker  for  her 
teacher  husband  and  Rachel,  13,  and 
Charles,  4.  They  are  at  home  at:  419 
N.  Scott  St.,  York,  Pa. 

Mrs.  William  Newcomb  '36  (Mary 
VanKirk)  lives  at  6  Temperance  St., 
Port  Norris,  N.  J.  She  and  Bill,  who 
is  a  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Health  bacteriologist,  have  two  sons 
William  A.,  10,  and  Lemuel  Kirk,  8. 
Mary  keeps  busy  with  Cub  Scouts  and 
golf  and  P.  T.  A. 

Had  a  wonderful  letter  from  Wendell 
R.  Stevens  which  was  written  while  he 
was  high  over  the  Atlantic  en  route 
by  P.  A.  A.  Clipper  to  a  meeting  at 
Frankfurt,  Germany  —  only  his  eighth 
round  trip  in  the  past  year  to  European 
meetings.  He  had  with  him  a  copy  of 
THE  ALUMNUS  and  a  few  spare  mo- 
ments, so  I  learned  that  he  graduated 
from  Guggenheim  School  of  Aeronau- 
tics, New  York  University  as  an  aero- 
nautical engineer  in  1934  after  three 
happy  years  at  Bucknell.  He  never 
"engineered" — became  an  airline  sales- 
man, then  into  sales  management  and 
finally  airline  consulting  and  adminis- 
tration— American  Airlines,  Charles  A. 
Rheinstrom  Consultants  (now  Pan 
American  World  Airways).  Wendell 
married  Alice  McCabe  of  Pittsburgh 
in  1937  and  they  have  one  son,  Guy, 
now  sixteen  and  headed  for  college  in 
two  years  and  one  daughter,  Wendy, 
age  12.  The  Stevens  hve  at  217  W. 
Washington  Ave.,  Pearl  River,  N.  Y., 
and  he  says — "Would  like  to  have  any 
Bucknellians  stop  in."  Little  does  he 
know  how  the  Limings  may  just  do 
that,  as  we  visit  other  friends  up  his 
way  in  Rockland  County.  I  chuckled 
when  Wendell  wrote  "I'm  mighty  bald." 
He  should  have  seen  we  all  in  June — 

MARCH     1055 


don't  misunderstand  now!  We  have 
all  improved  in  looks,  but  if  anj'  of  you 
recall  he  had  a  wonderful  head  of  hair. 
He  tells  me  that  he  loves  to  ski,  sail  and 
play  tennis  and  the  children  love  it  too. 
I  like  sailing  and  ache  right  now  from 
trying  to  keep  up  with  my  husband  and 
two  youngsters  at  ice-skating.  Hate 
to  admit  it,  but  I  am  afraid  I  will  soon 
join  the  ranks  of  spectators. 

Rev.  Vincent  B.  Wayland  announces 
the  arrival  on  November  5  of  a  future 
Bucknell  coed.  Gaylan  Nichole.  She 
is  the  foiirth  junior  member  of  the 
Wayland  family,  joining  Vince,  Jr., 
Cheryl  Lj'nn  and  Kerry  at  their  Lake- 
ville,  N.  Y.  home. 

That's  all  for  now — hope  you  all  won't 
wait  until  you're  in  a  plane  high  above 
the  clouds  to  \%Tite  as  Wendell  did! 
But  if  you  need  an  airplane  to  spur 
you  on.  please  all  start  flying.  Hope 
you've  contributed  to  the  Alumni  Fund. 
If  not  whj'  not  do  it  now  and  make  the 
other  classes  realize  "34  has  more."

Our  20th  Reunion,  June  1 1 

"The  January  BUCKNELL  ALUM- 
NUS came,  and  1  see  that  it's  time  to 
give  my  new  address.  It  is:  Mr  and 
Mrs.  Charles  Abbott  (Jane  Millikin), 
519  Country  Lane,  Louisville,  Ky. 

"We  have  built  a  house  just  on  the 
outskirts  of  the  city,  which  we  hope 
will  give  each  of  us  enough  elbow  room 
for  awhile.  We  now  have  Ted,  12, 
John,  8,  Betsy,  6  and  Fred,  1  and  the 
age  variance  requires  different  needs, 
too. 

"Christmas  cards  brought  news  of  a 
few  Bucknellians.  Helen  Sutherland 
Richards  plans  to  return  to  our  reunion 
June  11.  Mrs.  Robert  Dymond  (Grace 
King  '38)  from  another  class  has  re- 
turned from  many  travels  with  her  4 
children  and  Army  Major  husband  to 
civiUan  living  again.  There  are  some 
Bucknellians  here  as  you  know — Tim 
Delaney  a  classmate,  and  Elizabeth 
Dinsmore  Tedder  '39.  I  do  see  her  occa- 
sionally, and  we  have  had  some  rare 
chats.    I  think  you  may  remember  her. 

"Enough  chatter,  and  I  do  think  our 
class  reporter,  Metta  Farrington  Stra- 
ley,  does  remarkably  well  at  keeping 
everyone  informed. 

Fondest  wishes, 

Jane  Millikin  Abbott"

planning  not  to  attend  the  reuion.  How- 
ever, she  will  be  working  on  the  com- 
mittee until  then.  She  writes  "The 
bambinos,  Anne  5  ¥2  and  Richard,  31/2 
have  finally  reached  the  stage  where 
they  can  do  most  everything  for  them- 
selves. Like  many  household  executives 
(the  word  housewife  isn't  glamorous 
enough  for  me)  from  the  Class  of  '45, 
I  do  all  my  own  work,  and  I  must  admit 
there  doesn't  seem  to  be  time  for  all  of 
it  Dick  is  healthy,  a  little  fatter,  a  lit- 
tle balder,  but  he  has  a  fine  job,  which 
he  likes  a  lot,  and  that's  half  the  battle. 
He  works  for  the  Bradford  branch  of 
Carteret  Savings  and  Loan,  doing  the 
mortgage  end  of  things.  Everytime  I 
see  the  lack  of  communication  in  THE 
BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS  from  the  Class 
of  1945,  I  become  more  embarrassed." 

I  think  Janice  has  a  point!  Please 
drop  a  line  now  and  let  your  class  know 
what  you  are  doing.  We're  all  inter- 
ested.

your  plans  early  and  contact  your  class- 
mates concerning  them.

Newsmen's  Conference 

The  Second  Newsmen's  Conference  was 
held  on  campus  February  9,  10  and  11  with 
the  theme  "As  Others  See  Us."  Five  for- 
eign correspondents  attached  to  the  United 
Nations  came  to  campus  for  the  three-day 
affair  to  discuss  their  views  of  the  United 
States  in  a  series  of  panels  and  classroom 
discussions.  In  the  main,  they  pled  for  a 
better  understanding  on  tlie  part  of  the  Unit- 
ed States  of  the  problems  and  peculiarities 
of  other  nations. 

The  five  newsmen  were :  Jacques  Edrnger, 
of  the  Agence  France  Presse ;  Paul  F.  San- 
ders, correspondent  for  the  Dutch  newspaper, 
Het  Parool;  Levon  Keshishian.  of  Al  Ah- 
ram,  of  Cairo.  Eg\-pt  and  a  member  of  last 
year's  newsmen's  conference  team ;  Walter 
P.  Schuch,  correspondent  for  the  Handcls- 
blaat.  Western  Germany's  leading  financial 
newspaper:  and  Anand  Mohan  of  the  In- 
formation Service  of  India. 

The  conference  got  under  way  Wednesday 
evening  with  the  showing  of  "Farewell  to 
Yesterday",  a  documentary  film  covering  the 
outstanding  news  events  of  the  past  two  dec- 
ades. 

On  Thursday  the  five  newsmen  were  feted 
at  a  reception  and  tea  in  the  afternoon  with 
members  of  Pi  Delta  Epsilon,  journalism 
honorarj-,  and  the  United  Nations  Club  act- 
ing as  hosts.  This  was  followed  in  the  eve- 
ning by  the  opening  panel  "As  Others  See 
Us",  moderated  'oy  Robert  Ewing,  journal- 
ism professor. 

The  last  day  of  the  conference  the  news- 
men elaborated  on  their  opinions  of  the 
United  States  at  individual  classroom  dis- 
cussions in  the  morning.  The  closing  ses- 
sion of  the  conference  Friday  evening  con- 
sisted of  a  question  and  answer  period  be- 
tween the  audience  and  the  five  correspon- 
dents. John  F.  Zeller  III,  political  science 
professor,  served  as  the  moderator. 

The  speakers  committee  was  composed  of 
Dr.  Richard  Du  Wors,  head  of  the  sociologj' 
department :  Richard  Kirshman  '54,  and 
Richard  \\'ormser  '55.  Other  committee 
chairmen  were :  program,  Eleanor  Mackie, 
'55 ;  publicity,  Margery  CufT  '55  and  Cecily 
Kh'ne  '57 ;  hosts  and  hostesses,  Christine 
Home  '57,  and  planning  committee,  Frank 
Richardson  '55. 

A  committee  has  been  formed  to  discuss 
the  possibility  of  making  this  Newsmen's 
Conference  an  annual  event  and  a  perma- 
nent part  of  Bucknell's  Founder's  Day  ob- 
servation on  campus. 


Judpe  John  F.  Cox  '25 
Receives  Salute 

The  capable  service  of  John  Fremont  Cox 
'25,  as  Judge  of  the  Orphans  Court  of  Al- 
legheny County,  was  recognized  in  an  edi- 
torial published  by  the  Pittsburgh  Press  re- 
cently. 

The  Press  editorial  writer,  under  the  sub- 
ject of  "An  Able  Judge",  had  this  to  say 
alKjut  John  Cox : 

The  Press  adheres  to  the  principle  that  a 
judKC  who  has  satisfactorily  served  an  elec- 
tive  term   on   the   t>ench    is   cntitk-d    to    the 
support  of  \><)\h  parties  when  he  comes  up 
for  re-election. 
Without    such   a   principle,   judgeships    in 
iir  various  courts  would   \k  up   for  (jrahs 
•  ery  time  an  elective  term  ended  and  jus- 
lirc  would  suffer. 

Judge  Cox  s<.Tvcs  on  a  court  of  special 
imiKjrlaiicc,  in  lh;it  it  deals  with  the  legal 
details  and  administration  of  estates,  trusts 
and  ad'iptions.  To  this  work  he  has  applied 
himself  with  diligence  and  ability. 

A  few  months  ago,  the  State  Supreme 
Court,  in  an  opinion  on  a  case  handled  by 

M  A  II  c  M      I   0  .',  5 


Judge  Cox,  referred  to  his  "skill  and  pa- 
tience," his  meticulous  "care,"  his  "exhaus- 
tive analysis  of  the  evidence"  and  to  his  "ac- 
curate application  of  the  pertinent  legal  prin- 
ciples." 

This  view  of  the  Judge's  competence  ap- 
parently is  shared  by  the  lawyers  of  AUe- 
glieny  County.  No  less  than  1654  of  them 
have  endorsed  him  in  writing  for  re-elec- 
tion. Tliis  is  an  unprecedented  recommenda- 
tion which  represents  almost  unanimous  en- 
dorsement b}'  the  active  members  of  the  bar 
here. 

Judge  Cox  was  a  teacher,  a  school  prin- 
cipal, a  State  Senator,  a  local  and  county 
official  before  going  on  the  bencli.  In  his 
more  than  nine  years  on  the  bench,  he  has 
avoided  political  activity.  But  he  found 
time  to  take  a  graduate  degree  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Pittsburgh,  to  study  our  adoption 
system  and  propose  badly-needed  amend- 
ments, and  to  serve,  in  an  unpaid  capacity, 
as  a  professional  lecturer  at  Duquesne  Uni- 
versitv.

Engineering  Directory 

The  tliird  Engineering  Directory  to  be 
published  by  the  Bucknell  University  Depart- 
ment of  Engineering  is  currently  in  the  mails 
and  lists  a  total  of  1941  persons  who  have 
received  Engineering  Degrees  from  the  Uni- 
versity. 

Of  this  total,  1798  graduates  are  still  liv- 
ing and  are  residing  in  2,7  States  and  11 
Foreign  Countries. 

The  breakdown  by  fields  shows  Mechani- 
cal Engineering  leading  the  way  with  530 
graduates,  followed  bv  Electrical  494,  Chem- 
ical 478  and  Civil  439. 

Other  figures  revealed  by  the  Directory 
show  that  578  of  these  Alumni  are  members 
of  Professional  Engineering  Societies,  that 
177  of  them  are  Registered  Professional  En- 
gineers and  that  165  went  on  to  get  higher 
degrees. 

While  many  of  the  present  occupations  of 
these  Alumni  could  not  be  classified,  it  is 
interesting  to  note  that  technical  supervision 
claims  152;  engineering  sales  and  service,  94; 
research  and  development,  68 ;  executive 
work,  67;  and  designing,  58.  Six  Alumni 
have  gone  into  business  and  another  93  are 
no  longer  in  the  field  of  engineering. 

Since  the  last  Directory  was  published  in 
1949,  the  number  of  students  graduated  by 
the  Engineering  Department  has  risen  ap- 
proximately 23%,  or  from  1502  students  to 
1941. 


Du  Wors  Named  to 
"Who's  Who" 

Dr.  Richard  E.  Du  Wors,  head  of  the  de- 
partment of  sociology  at  Bucknell,  has  been 
included  with  those  listed  in  "Who's  Who 
in  America."  Dr.  Du  Wors,  a  graduate  of 
Bates  College,  earned  his  doctor  of  philoso- 
phy degree  at  Harvard  University. 

Eight  other  Bucknell  faculty  members  list- 
ed in  the  publication  are :  Dr.  Frank  G. 
Davis,  Dr.  John  W.  Rice,  Dr.  Clarence  H. 
Richardson,  Dr.  Philip  L.  Harriman,  Dr. 
George  A.  Ireland,  Dr.  W.  Norwood  Lowry,

OUR  GOAL:  An  Annual  Gift  From  Every  Bucknellian   ^^  7<^  ^44Ue 


As  we  approach  the  final  month  of  the  1954-1955  Bucknell  Alumni  Annual 
Giving  Program  (the  fund  year  ends  June  30,  1955),  the  prospects  look  promising 
for  an  increase  over  last  year's  total. 

While  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  Committee,  under  the  chairmanship  of 
Clyde  P.  Bailey  '29,  Pittsburgh,  has  never  set  a  monetary  goal,  it  has  adopted  the 
very  optimistic  aim  of  a  gift  annually  from  every  Bucknellian,  on  the  theory  that 
every  student  whether  a  graduate  or  not  received  real  benefits  from  his  or  her 
association  on  the  campus.  There  seems  little  doubt  that  every  Bucknellian  of 
the  past  wants  the  present  and  future  student  body  to  receive  similar  benefits. 

As  we  go  to  press,  personal  contact  programs  are  in  progress  in  eleven  large 
areas  of  Alumni  concentration.  These  regions  with  their  chairmen  and  co-chairmen 
and  the  dates  of  the  kickoflf  meeting  are  as  follows:  Lewisburg,  Mrs.  Brown  Focht 
'26  and  Mrs.  Paul  Showalter  '33,  April  13;  Long  Island,  William  S.  Liming  '33 
and  Mrs.  Amorita  S.  Copeland  '22,  April  19;  South  Jersey,  Kenneth  W.  Slifer  '26 
and  Joseph  W.  McCormick  Jr.  '26,  April  21;  Philadelphia,  P.  Herbert  Watson  '37 
and  Wilmer  D.  Greulich  '34,  April  22;  Wilhamsport,  Paul  E.  Fink  '29,  April  25; 
Harrisburg,  Francis  B.  Haas  Jr.  '47  and  William  Fearen  '50,  April  28;  Washington, 
John  F.  Worth  '37  and  Dale  Hay  '49,  April  29;  Lewistown,  Allen  A.  Rarig  '29, 
May  3;  Triple  Cities,  Harry  E.  Stabler  '23,  May  4;  Pittsburgh,  Craig  M.  Waldner 
'41  and  Barr  Cannon  '39,  May  5;  Trenton,  William  J.  Irvin  '22,  May  19. 

Encouraged  by  the  results  in  the  person-to-person  program  in  the  Pittsburgh 
area  last  year,  a  force  of  600  regional  workers  has  been  recruited  to  visit  3,000 
Alumni  in  the  eleven  areas  of  solicitation. 

Industry  Is  Pitching  In,  Too 

Disturbed  by  financial  problems  facing  privately  supported  higher  education, 
business  and  industrial  leaders  have  begun  to  take  forceful  action.  Since  reporting 
the  programs  of  eleven  industries  in  our  last  issue  (THE  BUCKNELL  ALUM- 
NUS, March,  1955,  page  13),  several  other  groups  including  Westinghouse 
Electric  and  the  Ford  Foundation  have  announced  increased  plans  of  support  to 
colleges  and  universities. 

Stimulating  this  support  by  business  has  been  the  widespread  concern  of  not 
only  universitv  administrations,  but  university  Alumni  over  the  plight  of  their 
respective  institutions.  Without  doubt,  the  most  forceful  factors  in  promoting 
industrial  participation  have  been  the  annual  alumni  funds,  which  have  set 
examples  of  farsighted  and  inspiring  aid. 

Bucknell  University,  of  course,  will  profit  by  some  of  these  programs,  but 
the  extent  of  benefit  is  geared  directly  to  the  kind  of  support  given  by  its  own 
Alumni.  They  are  the  pace  setters,  the  inspirational  leaders,  and  the  essential 
foundation  of  a  gift  structure  that  will  provide  Bucknell  with  the  financial  support 
so  vitally  needed. 

It  is  not  difficult  to  see  why  your  Alumni  Fund  Committee  has  set  as  its  goal: 
AN   ANNUAL   GIFT   FROM   EVERY' BUCKNELLIAN.

Oh  for  the  Life  of  a  Class  Fund  Manager ! 


Meet  the  Mayor 


TRINKE    HELPS   TOO 


ON    THEIR   WAY 


Meet  the  new  Mayor  of  Honolulu— His 
Honor  Neil  S.  Blaisdell  of  the  Class  of  1926. 

Capping  a  long  career  of  public  service, 
Neil  S.  Blaisdell  was  elected  to  the  top  office 
in  the  City  of  Honolulu  in  November  1954. 
Honolulu  can  qualify  as  the  world's  largest 
city-county  because  its  extended  boundaries 
include  a  total  expanse  of  540,000  square 
miles,  most  of  which  is  Pacific  Ocean.  The 
city  itself  embraces  85  square  miles.  Prior 
to  his  election  as  Mayor,  Neil  had  served  as 
a  Representative  and  a  Senator  in  the  Terri- 
torial Legislature  and  just  before  his  election 
as  Mayor,  he  had  served  as  Director  of  the 
Department  of  Public  Welfare  for  the 
Territory  of   Hawaii. 

In  business  affairs  he  has  been  equally 
prominent,  serving  or  having  served  in  the 
real  estate  department  of  the  Bishop  Trust 
Company :  as  executive  of  the  Hawaiian 
Pineapple  Company  and  as  director  of  the 
Schumann  Carriage  Company  and  Hawaiian 
Motors  Limited. 

Born  in  Honolulu,  Neil  attended  Bucknell 
where  he  was  a  member  of  Sigma  Chi  and 
with  his  brother  William  K.  Blaisdell  '27, 
built  an  outstanding  career  on  Bucknell's 
football  squad.  After  graduation,  he  re- 
turned to  the  islands  and  served  as  teacher 
and  athletic  director  at  several  high  schools 
and  at  St.  Louis  College  in  Honolulu. 

He  is  married  to  the  former  Lucy  Thurs- 
ton. One  of  his  daughters,  Velma  '51,  is 
married  to  Jimmy  Clark  of  the  Washington 
Redskins  football  team.  His  other  daughter, 
Marilyn,  is  married  to  Charles  Ane  and  is 
the  mother  of  two  children. 

Bucknellians  visiting  Honolulu  are  cau- 
tioned to  travel  carefully  and  not  to  expect 
Neil  to  fix  any  traffic  tickets  for  them. 


Dick  Atherlev's  job  as  Class  Fund  manager  of  the  Class  of  1949  is  one  of  the  big^gest 
assignments  in  the  fund  program,  for  he  has  863  classmates  on  h,s  hst.  Jhe  pictures  above 
-ive  a  graphic  story  of  how  he  does  it.  In  late  January,  we  sent  him  863  letters  to  which 
he  added  personal  notes,  and  then  he  mailed  the  letters  from  Ann  Arbor  Michigan  w  ere 
he  is  this  year  attending  the  University  of  Michigan  Graduate  School  of  Business  Admini- 
tration     During  the  two  previous  fund  years,  Dick  found  time  while  on  assignment  with  the 

Marine  Corps  to  carry  out  the  details  of  his  big  class  project.    This  year  he  is  recruiting  16  .«.   MOnSoe 

classmates  to  assist  in  the  fund  program  to  assure  that  his  Class  of  1949  will  remain  on  top      JPUStee   BOyef     18   DieS 
(as  they  have  for  the  past  three  years)  in  the  "total  number  of  givers    category  in  the  fund. 

Sound  like  a  lot  of  work?  Sure,  but  Dick  measures  it  in  terms  of  the  loyal  response 
of  his  classmates.  Reminds  us  of  another  class  fund  manager  who  recently  wrote,  1  he 
iov  of  hearing  from  classmates  makes  the  fund  managers'  task  a  pure  pleasure.  You,  too, 
can  reap  the  benefits  of  closer  association  with  your  Bucknell  campus  experiences  by  under- 
taking a  job  in  vour  class,  vour  local  Alumni  club,  and  your  University. 


Russell  E.  Boyer,  a  member  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees  of  Bucknell  University,  died  at

the  May  Queen  in  Davis  Gymnasium  on 
Saturday  afternoon. 

This  honored  co-ed  will  be  chosen  by  a

and  helmets,  and  bright  red  "claws." 

The  Bucknell  University  Band,  con- 
ducted by  .A.llen  W.  Flock,  will  present 
musical  selections  at  the  outset  of  the  pro- 
gram.

Elliott,  Nancy  Green,  Lydia  Hines,  Ardis 
Hinkle,  Marty  Jones,  Marianne  MacMain,

ties. The  Glee  Clubs  will  perform  concerts 
on  both  evenings. 

The  recession  of  the  May  Court  will 
complete  the  impressive  and  eagerly  anti- 
cipated celebration  that  attracts  hundreds 
of  spectators  each  year  to  our  Bucknell 
campus. 


Mr.  Boyer  had  been  home  from  the  hos- 
pital only  several  weeks,  recuperating  from 
serious  injuries  received  in  a  four-car  auto- 
mobile crash  last  November.  He  died  of  a 
self-inflicted  bullet  wound. 

A  veteran  of  34  years  of  service  in  the 
State  Department  of  Highways,  he  had 
served  as  District  Engineer  in  AUentown 
since   1951. 

A  Mason  and  former  member  of  Williams- 
port  Rotary  Club,  Mr.  Boyer  was  also  a 
member  of  the  American  Society  of  High- 
way Engineers,  and  in  1950  served  as  presi- 
dent of  the  Pennsylvania  Society  of  Profes- 
sional Engineers. 

As  a  student,  he  was  a  member  of  Kappa 
Sigma  fraternity.  Elected  to  the  Board  of 
Trustees  of  Bucknell  by  the  Alumni  in  1950, 
he  served  on  the  Committee  of  Grounds  and 
Buildings  and  the  Committee  on  Alumni 
Relations.  He  last  attended  a  Board  meeting 
on  November  14,  just  two  days  before  his 
automobile  accident. 

He  is  survived  by  his  wife,  the  former 
Jean  E.  Bail,  three  brothers  and  two  sisters, 
to  whom  the  heartfelt  sympathies  of  the 
University  are  extended.

President  Odgers  Announces 
Increased  Salaries  for  Faculty 

Substantial  salary  increases  for  the  Faculty 
were  announced  at  the  beginning  of  the 
second  semester  by  President  Merle  M.  Od- 
gers. While  the  increases  were  to  become 
effective  with  the  beginning  of  the  fi.scal 
year,  July  1,  actually  the  new  scale  was  put 
into  effect  on  March  1.  The  revised  salary 
schedule  provided  increases  of  $500  each 
for  professors.  .$400  each  for  associate  pro- 
fessors and  $300  each  for  assistant  profes- 
sors and  instructors. 

The  increases  which  were  approved  by  the 
ICxeculive  Committee  of  the  Hoard  of  Trus- 
tees, originalefl  with  President  Odgers,  who 
indicated  soon  after  his  arrival  on  the  Buck- 
nell campus,  his  determination  to  raise  fac- 
ulty salaries.  The  new  scale  grew  out  of

Donkey  Basketball  Hits  Campus 

When  something  dilTeient  and  humorous 
is  sought,  depend  on  the  Junior  Class  to  d<i 
the  job.  The  Juniors  will  try  anything 
(within  hounds)  to  raise  money  for  their 
Senior  Prom,  which  'tis  said,  will  be,  "the 
best  ever."  Our  "third  yearers"  performe<l 
in  rare  style  by  engaging  our  faculty  team, 
and  "All-Star"  Donkey-Ball  iilayers,  in  a 
basketball  gaine  on  the  evening  of  March  IS. 
The  game  was  played  by  four  teams,  eon- 
si.sting  of  four  players  each:  the  Junior 
Co-Eds  (Captain— Bette  Skow),  Junior 
Men  (Captain — Art  Kinney),  Faculty 
(Captain— Neil  Shiffler),  and  the  mem- 
bers of  the  intramural  All-Star  basketball 
team   (Captain — Boh  Antkoviak), 

The  rules  of  this  unusual  game,  plus  the 
costumes  of  the  players,  who  were  adorned 
in  everything  from  Ivaster  I'.onnits  to  Davy 
Crockeil  hats,  were  uni(|ur. 

The  Hnal  score  in  the  Junior  women  vs. 
the  Junior  men  proved  .igain  tlie  old  adage, 
"Never  tnider  estimate  the  jiower  of  a 
woman,"  while  the  l''acnlty  vs.  Inlr:nnur;il 
All-Stars  ended  in  a  tie. 

The  proceeds  more  than  compensated  for 
the  mati'.'  bbick  and  bhii-  inarks  collected  in 
c  oiribat. 


REVISION  OF  BY-LAWS  SCHEDULED  FOR  JUNE  VOTE 


Alumni  are  asked  to  consider  a  revision 
of  tlic  Constitution  and  By-Laws  of  the 
General  Alumni  Association.  The  proposed 
changes  will  be  an  important  item  of  busi- 
ness at  the  Annual  Assembly  in  Vaughan 
Literature  Auditorium  on  Saturday,  June  11, 
at  9  :30  a.  m.  The  Annual  Assembly  is  the 
yearly  business  meeting  of  the  Association. 
Every  Bucknellian  is  represented  at  the  An- 
nual Assembly  by  delegates  and  alternates 
chosen  in  each  Alumni  Club  area.  The 
Alurmii  Clubs'  presidents  have  been  given 
advance  copies  of  the  proposed  changes  with 
the  suggestion  that  at  a  club  meeting  to  be 
sclteduled  before  June  the  revisions  be  studied 
and  the  Club's  delegates  and  alternates  be 
instructed  how  to  vote. 

A  complete  draft  of  the  proposed  changes 
is  printed  in  this  issue  of  The  Bucknell 
Alumnus  so  diat  everyone  may  have  an 
opportunity  to  study  the  changes  and  express 
an  opinion  through  his  or  her  local  Alumni 
Club.  It  is  hoped  that  many  Alumni  will 
take  the  time  to  become  familiar  witli  the 
proposals.  For  those  who  would  rather  not 
go  into  detail,  the  changes  do  these  things : 

1.  Provide  a  new  Article  L  setting  fortli 
the  name,  definitions,  and  the  principal  office 
of  the  General  Alumni  Association. 

2.  Delete  the  old  Article  III  on  Association 
Meetings,  inasmuch  as  the  Annual  Assembly 
(new  Article  V)  constitutes  such  meetings  in 
fact. 

3.  Provide  a  new  Article  VI,  changing  the 
terms  of  service  of  members  of  the  Board 
of  Directors  from  three  to  fife  years. 

4.  Delineate  the  duties  of  the  Alumni  Sec- 
retary  (new  Article  VII,  Section  4). 

5.  Add  new  articles  on  the  Alumni  Fund 
(new  Article  X),  the  Alumni  Achievement 
Award  (new  Article  XI),  and  Committees 
(new  Article  XII). 

6.  Make  a  number  of  changes  that  are 
essentially  of  an  editing  nature. 

In  the  proijosed  revisions  printed  in  the 
following  columns  italics  indicates  the  new 
or  revised  wording  of  the  various  articles 
and  sections. 

The  new  Constitution  and  By-Laws  are 
the  result  of  the  painstaking  efforts  of  John 
F.  Worth  '37.  chairman  of  the  committee 
that  included  also  Clyde  P.  Bailey,  Esq.  '29 
and  J.  Norman  Davies,  Esc|.  '26.  The  Board 
of  Directors  at  its  meeting  on  October  22, 
1954  studied  John  Worth's  draft  of  the  re- 
visions and  with  a  few  changes  instructed 
the  Alumni  Secretary  to  publish  the  revised 
version  and  provide  for  a  vote  on  the  entire 
draft  at  the  Annual  Assembly  in  June  1955.

Alumni  Trustee.  In  accordance  zvith  Article

Bueknell  Gift  Tops  Million 

Transfer  of  title  has  been  completed  in 
the  remaining  parcels,  of  land  in  a  Virginia 
tract   given   to   Bueknell   University   in    1923. 

Sale  of  these  last  parcels,  consisting  of  161 
acres,  brings  to  well  over  one  million  dollars 
the  total  amount  received  by  Bueknell  from 
the  sale  of  the  land  over  the  period. 

Consisting  originally  of  844  acres,  the 
University's  real  estate  holdings  in  Fairfax 
County,  Virginia,  were  the  gifts  of  James 
S.  Swartz,  for  many  years  chairman  of  the 
Bueknell  Board  of  Trustees,  and  his  friend, 
Henry  J.  Loftus.  At  the  time  of  the  gift 
Mr.  Swartz  placed  the  value  of  the  land 
at  $25,000  and  suggested  that  if  an  ofifer  of 
$37,500  should  ever  be  received  it  would 
be  wise  to  accept  it. 

First  major  sale  of  land  from  this  tract, 
which  became  increasingly  valuable  with  the 
development  of  residential  areas  between 
Alexandria  and  Mount  Vernon,  was  made 
in  1934,  when  about  200  acres  of  shore  land 
were  sold  to  a  gravel  company  for  $100,000. 

Since  1949,  a  committee  of  Bueknell  trus- 
tees  has   been   engaged   in   carrying  out   an 


Association  from  members  of  the  Board  of 
Directors.  Terms  of  appointment  shall  be 
three  years.  The  President  of  the  Associa- 
tion shall  be  a  member,  ex  officio.  Five  mem- 
bers in  attendance  at  a  committee  meeting 
shall  constitute  a  quorum. 

Section  2.  Committee  on  Nominations  for 
Directors.  This  committee  shall  consist  of 
five  members  appointed  by  the  President  of 
the  Association  for  terms  of  one  year  and,  in 
accordance  zvith  Article  VI.  shall  submit  to 
the  Assembly  tlie  follozving  June  a  slate  of 
nominees  equal  at  least  to  tzvice  the  number 
of  vacancies  to  be  filled. 

Section  3.  Committee  of  Tellers.  This 
committee  appointed  by  the  President  of  the 
Association,  in  accordance  with  Article  VIII . 
shall  consist  of  three  members,  including  the 
Alumni  Secretary  who  shall  be  chairman. 
The  committee  shall  exist  for  the  purpose  of 
canvassing  the  ballots  in  the  election  for 
Alumni  Trustee. 

Section  4.  Alumni  Fund  Committee.  This 
committee,  appointed  by  the  President  of  the 
Association  for  indefinite  terms  of  service, 
shall  consist  u!:iially  of  tzvcnty-fonr  members, 
including  the  chairman,  and  the  Fund  Direc- 
tor, and  shall  assist  in  formulating  promo- 
tional policies  and  programs  for  the  annual 
giving  program. 

Sections.  Alumni  Award  Committee. 
This  committee  appointed  by  the  President 
of  the  Association  shall  consist  of  five  mem- 
bers zvhose  terms,  except  for  those  on  the 
original  committee,  shall  be  five  years.  The 
original  committee  appointed  shall  have  the 
terms  staggered  so  that  a  nezv  member  may 
be  added  each  year.  After  the  original  com- 
mittee has  been  appointed,  the  nezv  member 
added  annually  shall  be  a  recipient  of  the 
prczious  year's  azvard,  if  any.  Vacancies  on 
the  committee  shall  be  filled  by  appointment 
by  the  President  of  the  Association. 

Section  6.  Special  Committees.  Other  com- 
mittees may  be  appointed  by  the  President  of 
the  Association  from  time  to  time  as  the 
need  arises. 

Article  XIJI  —  Amendments 

Section  1.  The  Constitution  and  By-Lazvs 
of  the  General  Alumni  Association  of  Buek- 
nell University  may  be  amended  by  a  vote 
of  two-thirds  of  the  members  of  the  As- 
sembly at  any  annual  meeting  of  the  Assem- 
bly, c.rcept  as  otherzvise  specifically  proziided 
herein,  provided  that  a  copy  of  the  proposed 
amendments  be  published  in  The  Bucknell 
Alumnus  at  least  one  month  prior  to  date 
of  said  meeting. 


arrangement  entered  into  with  a  group  of 
real  estate  men  known  as  the  Bucknell 
Syndicate. 

The  remaining  acres  were  disposed  of  un- 
der a  contractual  arrangement  which  pro- 
vided for  the  sale  of  this  extensive  tract 
in  sections,  with  the  first  sale  occurring  in 
1949.  Other  parcels  have  been  sold  since  that 
time,  leaving  for  final  disposal  about  161 
acres,  transfer  of  which  was  completed 
recently,. 

Credit  is  due  many  piembers  of  the  present 
and  past  Boards  of  Trustees  of  Bucknell 
University  for  their  wise  guidance  in  the 
handling  of  the  entire  Virginia  land  project. 
Any  attempt  to  single  out  certain  individuals 
who  have  been  most  helpful  is  always  a 
dangerous  procedure  for  fear  that  someone 
will  be  missed.  However,  it  must  be  said 
that  over  the  years  certain  members  have 
made  a  tremendous  contribution  of  time, 
money,  and  effort  in  managing  and  disposing 
of  the  property.  These  members  of  the  past 
and  present  include :  Joseph,  W.  Henderson, 
Esq.  '08,  Rush  H.  Kress  '00,  Dr.  Charles  P. 
Vaughan.  O.  V.  W.  Hawkins,  Esq.  '13, 
James  McClure,  Esq.  '13,  Richard  Darling- 
ton '09,  Charles  R.  Holton  and  John  Heisley 
Weaver. 

As  a  result  of  this  generous  property  gift 
from  Mr.  Swartz  and  Mr.  Loftus,  the  Uni- 
versity has  received,  over  a  period  of  two 
decades,  more  than  one  million  dollars  for 
endowment  purposes.  Thus  the  joint  con- 
tribution from  these  two  friends  of  Bucknell 
represents  the  most  valuable  gift  ever  made 
to  the  University  in  its  109-year  history.

SPORTS 


By  Vai.  Pinchbeck  Jr.,  Athletic  Publicity         SprJng  SpOrtS 

Football  Preview  1955 


When  Glenn  Davis  and  Doc  Blanchard 
were  making  repetitious  touchdown  jaunts 
for  Army  during  the  war  years,  they  came 
in  for  plenty  of  plaudits.  Both  pigskin- 
toters  were  quick  to  point  up  front,  how- 
ever, when  asked  to  explain  their  contin- 
ued success.  The  linemen  were  the  an- 
swer. The  glamour  boys  would  go  as  far 
as  the  forwards  would  take  them. 

When  Coach  Harry  Lawrence  was  asked 
whether  Bucknell's  herd  would  thunder 
in  '55,  he  had  the  same  rejoinder.  The  Bi- 
sons will  go  as  far  as  the  linemen  take 
them. 

Bucknell  spring  drills  ended  on  April 
29.  Hard  work  was  the  rule  and  not  the 
exception.  Contact  work  was  on  tap  March 
19,  the  first  day  of  the  sessions,  and  it  was 
on  tap  each  and  every  other  day  right  up 
until  the  April  29  deadline.  Looking  back 
at  the  practice  periods,  Lawrence  was  far 
from  a  displeased  man. 

"We  have  plenty  of  spirit,"  he  opined, 
"and  we  have  a  good  set  of  backs.  On  the 
whole  I  think  that  we  will  be  a  faster  team 
than  we  were  last  fall.  Whether  we  win 
ball  games  or  not  will  be  up  to  the  line- 
men. Of  the  14  boys  who  formed  our  first 
two  forward  walls  last  year,  11  will  grad- 
uate this  June.  The  11  boys  who  fill  those 
vacated  spots  are  the  ones  who  will  tell 
the  story." 

One  thing  appears  certain  even  at  this 
early  date — Bucknell  will  field  an  interest- 
ing team  that  shoud  pick  up  yardage.  Back- 
field  coach  Smokey  Ostendarp  is  groom- 
ing a  good  stable  of  backs  that  could  be 
outstanding  with  the  right  kind  of  aid 
from  the   forwards. 

The  entire  1954  front-line  quintet  of 
quarterbacks  Ron  Hendricks  and  Jim 
Stewart,  halfbacks  Bob  Sierer  and  Dick 
McCartney  and  fullback  Bob  Ford  will  be 
back  again  next  fall  along  with  Bill  Ross, 
who  was  injured  last  year,  and  newcomer 
Chuck  Wagner,  up  from  the  freshman 
squad. 

Ford,  who  was  one  of  the  top  ground- 
gainers  in  the  East  last  fall,  lost  little  of 
his  zip  during  the  winter  layoff.  He  was 
the  most  impressive  of  the  Bucknell  backs 
during  the  spring  drills  and  should  be 
ready  for  full-time  duty  and  another  fine 
season  come  September.  Wagner,  a  fleet 
halfback,  was  also  an  eye-catcher  at  times. 
The  165-pound  Oakmont,  Pa.,  youngster 
could  be  a  factor  before  the  1955  campaign 
is  too  old. 

Hendricks  and  Stewart  give  Lawrence 
plenty  of  protection  in  the  field  general 
spot.  There  is  little  to  choose  between  the 
two.  If  Stewart  has  an  edge  in  passing, 
Hendricks  gets  the  nod  in  ball-handling 
ability.  Both  boys  punt  well  and  can  han- 
dle placement  conversions. 

Free  of  the  injuries  that  plagued  him 
last  fall,  Sierer  is  a  sure  bet  for  one  of  the 
halfback  posts.  McCartney  and  Ross  will 
battle  it  out  for  the  other  wing  slot,  with 
Wagner  a  possibility. 

.A.long  the  line,  center  George  Wolfe, 
guard  Art  Kinney,  tackle  Ralph  Riker  and 
end  Bill  Reilly  have  the  inside  tracks  on 
four  of  the  seven  first  team  berths,  but  the 
rest  of  the  positions  are  still  open.  Dave 
Wallis,  a  converted  halfback,  and  Paul 
Manning  are  leading  the  race  for  the  other 
flanker  spot,  while  Joe  Brune,  John  Ro- 
telle  and  newcomer  Bob  Holmes  seek  the 
other  tackle  position.  Marty  Dippold  and 
John  Michalski  are  the  best  bets  for  the 
other  guard  opening.

Dandy  Dick  Deadline,  a  fellow  who 
seems  to  step  to  the  fore  repeatedly,  did 
a  commendable  job  of  blocking  j'Our 
agent's  view  of  the  Spring  Sports  scene. 
.\s  the  ALUMNUS  went  to  press,  how- 
ever, both  the  baseball  and  tennis  squads 
were  ready  to  swing  wide  the  1955  portals 
and  track  and  golf  drills  were  in  full 
swing. 

BASEBALL 

The  pre-season  diamond  picture  looked 
bright.  With  pitching  as  a  forte,  baseball 
coach  Bill  Lane  was  hopeful  that  base 
hits  would  not  be  at  a  premium.  Where- 
as grid  mentor  Lawrence  is  searching  for 
linemen.  Lane  is  on  the  prowl  for  bats- 
men. 

McFarland,  a  burly  200-pounder  from 
Lock  Haven,  could  be  the  Bucknell  take- 
charge  guy.  The  big  fellow  delivers  the 
long  ball  often,  handles  the  pitchers  well 
and  possesses  an  arm  that  defies  opposi- 
tion runners  to  stray  off  base.  McFarland 
suffered  a  broken  ankle  last  summer,  how- 
ever, and  although  he  has  not  been  hin- 
dered this  spring,  his  health  may  cause 
Lane  to  lose  sleep  between  now  and  June  1. 

With  veterans  Don  Richards,  Jack  Flur- 
er,  Tom  King  and  Keith  Tucker  ready  to 
supply  able  mound  chores.  Lane  isn't  wor- 
ried about  the  opposition  opening  up  big 
gaps  in  the  runs-scored  column. 

TENNIS 

With  returning  veterans  Dick  Richter, 
Bob  Mclnroy  and  Captain  Dick  Wormser 
established  in  the  1-2-3  positions.  Coach 
Hank  Peters'  tennis  squad  was  ready  to 
roar  into  its  campaign  with  four  matches 
in  four  days. 

The  venerable  Peters,  who  drilled  his 
charges  through  snow,  rain,  cold  and 
what-have-you  during  late  March  and  ear- 
ly April,  has  a  set  line-up  ready  for  early- 
season  frays.  Sophomore  newcomers  Art 
Hartwell  and  John  Fincke  are  seeded  4-5 
behind  the  stronger  vet  trio,  with  another 
soph,  John  Pulizzi,  in  the  No.  6  position. 

In  doubles  competition  Peters  will  lead 
with  a  combination  of  Richter  and  Mcln- 
roy, spotting  teams  of  Hartwell  and  Fincke 
and  Pulizzi  and  Wormser  in  the  No.  2  and 
No.  3  positions. 

TRACK 

Eyeing  his  April  29  opening  date  with 
Muhlenberg,  track  tutor  Bus  Blum  took 
advantage  of  sunny  pre-Easter  weather  to 
increase  the  tempo  of  his  cinder  drills. 
Blum  was  particularly  anxious  to  find  at 
least  one  boy  to  fill  the  bill  in  the  440  and 
880  events,  to  take  up  some  of  the  slack 
left  by  the  graduation  of  Red  Macauley 
and  Larry  Patz,  two  of  last  year's  stal- 
warts. 

Sophomore  Art  Saunders  appears  to  be 
one  of  the  keys  to  Bison  success  this 
spring.  If  the  men  of  Blum  are  to  equal 
last  year's  ledger  of  three  triumphs  in 
five  dual-meet  outings,  the  newcomer  will 
have  to  live  up  to  his  coach's  expectations 
in  the  mile  and  two-mile  runs.  Saunders 
has  been  impressive  in  practice  timings. 

Capt.  Frank  Vanderhoof  and  Ed  Burg 
will  give  Bucknell  good  performances  in 
the  dashes  again.  Bob  Stevens,  another 
promising  soph,  has  the  unenviable  job  of 
standing  in  for  the  graduated  Harold 
Smith,  Middle  Atlantic  high  jump  champ 
last  year. 

GOLF 

Returning  from  the  last  year's  squad, 
which  copped  five  of  14  decisions,  are  vet- 


erans Don  Albee,  Dave  Basch,  George 
Damman,  Andy  Horvat  and  Pete  Straub, 
but  the  top  1954  duo  of  Jeff  Mynott  and 
Nelson  Forb  has  since  graduated.  Sopho- 
mores Jim  Ladd  and  Bob  Miller  may  be 
the  fellows  who  will  brighten  the  Bison 
golf  picture. 


Bison  Bandwagon 

If  you  intend  to  climb  on  the  Bison 
Bandwagon,  the  time  to  think  about  it  is 
now  and  during  the  summer,  not  next 
fall.  Make  your  "back  to  the  campus" 
plans  early  and  keep  them  steady. 

The  feature  contest  for  players  and  fans 
alike  is  the  Nov.  5  Homecoming  date  with 
Colgate.  Harry  Lawrence's  Bucknellians 
have  not  toppled  a  Red  Raider  team  since 
1951  when  Brad  Myers,  Burt  Talmadge 
and  company  turned  the  trick  en  route  to 
an  undefeated  season.  The  Colgate  en- 
counter is  one  game  the  Bisons  will  be 
pointing  for.  Last  fall  a  then-undefeated 
Colgate  squad  copped  a  narrow  20-14  ver- 
dict. 

Four  home  games  feature  the  1955  slate. 
Bucknell  opens  in  Memorial  Stadium  with 
a  night  contest  against  Albright  on  Sept. 
24,  tackles  Temple  on  Oct.  15,  plays  Col- 
gate on  Nov.  5  and  closes  out  the  cam- 
paign  against   Delaware   on   Nov.   19.

Moving-Up  Day 

Annual  Moving-Up  Day  ceremonies  were 
held  in  the  Baptist  Church  April  27,  1955. 
Dadgie  Steinkamp,  newly-elected  president 
of  WSGA  presided  at  this  traditional  pro- 
gram. After  extending  a  welcome  to  all 
guests,  Loie  Bunnell,  vice-president  of 
WSGA  thanked  the  House  of  Representa- 
tives and  Barbara  Glenn,  Honor  Council 
Chairman  thanked  members  of  Honor  Coun- 
cil for  their  work. 

The  assistant  Deans  of  Women,  Miss 
Martha  Harris,  Miss  Marjorie  Cressey,  and 
Miss  Joy  Werner,  were  presented  with 
corsages.  Dean  Stevenson  then  spoke  to  the 
women   students. 

Two  newly  elected  officers  of  Senate, 
president  of  WAA  and  Freshman  Counselor 
Representative  were  then  installed.  Dadgie 
then  announced  the  assistant  head  residents 
of  Hunt  and  Harris  for  1955-56.  She  read 
the  names  of  the  thirteen  girls  who  were 
elected  by  the  members  of  their  class  to  live 
in  Honor  House.  Miss  Stevenson  a  n  - 
nounced  the  winners  of  various  scholar- 
ships. 

Dadgie  presented  the  names  of  the  girls 
who  will  be  junior  counselors  for  next  year. 
Members  of  the  1955-56  WAA  Board  were 
also  announced.  Vaughn  Richart,  president 
of  Mortar  Board  read  the  names  of  the 
new  members  of   Mortar   Board. 

Following  these  announcements,  each  class 
moved  up  and  sang  their  class  song.  The 
ceremony  was  ended  with  the  singing  of 
the  Alma  Mater.

Death  apparently  was  caused  by  a  heart 
attack  and  he  was  found  by  his  wife  at  7 
a.  m. 

Although  he  suffered  a  severe  heart  at- 
tack in  the  summer  of  1952,  Dr.  Richard- 
son was  able  to  resume  his  teaching  duties 
and  his  death  came  as  a  shock  to  his  stu- 
dents and  to  his  colleagues  of  the  faculty 
on  which  he  had  served  27  years. 

Born  at  West  Plains,  Missouri,  on  July 
21,  1890,  Dr.  Richardson  received  his  early 
education  in  the  public  schools  of  Buffalo, 
Kentucky,  where  he  was  reared.  .A  grad- 
uate of  the  University  of  Kentucky,  he  re- 
ceived his  master's  degree  from  the  Uni- 
versity of  Illinois  and  his  doctor's  degree 
from  the  University  of  Michigan. 

He  began  his  long  teaching  career  at 
the  University  of  Illinois  in  1915  and  in 
1918  he  joined  the  faculty  of  Georgetown 
College  in  Kentucky,  where  he  taught  for 
10  years  before   coming   to   Bucknell. 

One  of  Bucknell's  liest-liked  teachers,  he 
served  as  secretarv  of  the  facultv  from 
1949  until  1953.  His  two  textbook.s:  "Sta- 
tistical Analysis"  and  "Business  Mathe- 
matics," of  which  he  was  a  co-author,  are 
widely  used  by  colleges  and  actuarial  so- 
cieties. 

.A  member  of  the  First  Baptist  Church 
of  Lewisburg,  he  belonged  to  the  Landxla 
Chi  Alpha  fraternity  and  to  four  honorary 
societies:  Phi  Delta  Kappa,  Pi  Mu  Epsilon, 
(Jmicron  Delta  Kappa,  and  Phi  Beta  Kap- 
pa. He  was  elected  by  the  Bucknell  chap- 
ter of  the  last  named  organization  in  1942 
in  recognition  of  his  scholarly  achieve- 
ments. 

In  attendance  at  the  services  were  a  ma- 
jority of  the  faculty  and  administrative 
staff  of  the  university,  headed  by  President 
.Vlerle  M.  Odgers.  All  classes  at  the  uni- 
versity were  suspended  at  10:45  a.  m.  for 
Ihe   remainder   of   the   morning. 

In  announcing  to  the  faculty  the  death 
of  Dr.  Richardson,  who  for  27  years  oc- 
cupied Ihe  James  .S.  Swarlz  chair  of  malhe- 
inalics.  Vice  President  William  11.  C'ole- 
man,  paid  high  tribute  to  his  colleague 
in  these  words: 

"Known  to  his  friends  as  C.  II.,  Dr. 
Richardson  was  ever  the  Christian  gentle- 
man— courteous,  affable,  refined,  and  con- 
siderate, A  gifted  teaclier,  he  possessed 
Ihe  rare  faculty  of  inculcating  in  shideiils 
his  own  enthusiasm  for  his  sul)jecl,  and  of 
presenting  his  material  wilh  clarily  and 
|)recision.  A  man  of  Ihe  greatest  inlegrily 
and  character  he  was  inleresled  in  every 
great  cause." 

.Surviving  are  his  wife,  (he  former  .'\gnes

"Faith  for  Living"  might  well  be  the

which  has  survived  despite  the  ills  that 
flesh  is  heir  to,  ills  which  have,  in  greater 
or  less  degree,  struck  all  of  us.  This  is 
the  essence  of  Gilbert's  poem: 

Same    old    merry-go-round 

Circling  through   the   ages, 

Same  faces 

Peeping    out    of   varied    souls. 

Out  of  varied,   collared 

Or  coUarless  garments. 

But  riding  the  same  old  hobby  horses 

Of  greed  or  of  charity 

Of  love  or  hate. 

M  A  V    19  a  ri 


Spurred  by  ambition. 
Seared  by  sacrifice. 
Crushed  by  despair. 
Yet  billowed  by  hope. 
On  it  goes 

While  round  go  the  horses 
Througli  the  circus  wheeze 
Of  the  old  hand-organ 
Of  the  elements  .   .   . 

One   drops   off. 

Then  two. 

Then  three — 

And  finally 

All: 

But  the  horses  are  not  riderless 

Others  will  ride. 

Yes.  on  they  go 

Through   the  ages: 

With  the  raucous  cacophony 

Of  ever  replenished 

Pain-chastened 

Love-blessed 

Life.

Merry-go-round. 

This  merry  old  merry-go-round!

Bayonne,  N,  J, 

g^  REUNE  IN  JUNE 


J.  R.  Bell  regrets  that,  because  his 
school  will  still  be  in  session,  it  will  be 
impossible  for  him  to  be  at  Bucknell  for 
our  reunion  in  June,  Mr.  Bell  is  treasurer 
on  the  Administrative  staff  of  the  Rayen 
School.  Youngstown  and  at  present  is  also 
teaching  bookkeeping. 

Classmates  will  be  saddened  to  learn 
of  the  death  on  February  22,  of  William 
H.  Gatehouse  at  Cumberland,  Md.  Wil- 
liam had  planned  to  attend  our  45th  re- 
union on  the  campus  in  June,  He  re- 
tired as  an  Accountant  for  the  Baltimore 
and  Ohio  Railroad  in  1942  and  had  been 
in  fair  health  until  his  final  illlness.  Burial 
services  were  held  in  Lewisburg  Ceme- 
tery. 

Deepest  sympathy  is  extended  to  his 
widow,  the  former  Edna  David,  and  his 
brother  and  sisters, 

Winnie  V.  Hardgrove  has  resigned  her 
position  at  the  Akron  Hospital  and  is  en- 
joying well-earned  leisure.  She  hopes  to 
be  at  reunion  in  June  and  soon  thereafter 
will  leave  on  a  two  months'  European 
tour. 

Mrs.  Palmer  Way  (Sara  Ray)  and  Mil- 
dred Cathers  were  in  St.  Petersburg,  Flor- 
ida again  this  Winter  and  enjoyed  meet- 
ing with  the  St.  Petersburg  Bucknell 
Alumni  Club  at  their  annual  picnic.  Rain 
was  responsible  for  our  meeting  in  the 
home  of  Dr.  J.  Earle  Edwards  instead  ol 
in  the  park — a   happy   transfer. 

Mrs.  John  0.  Sholl  (Helen  Hare)  met 
a  tragic  death  nii  l'\-bruary  11  when  the 
car  she  was  driving  crashed  with  a  truck 
on  a  rain-swept  highway  southeast  of 
Frederick,  Maryland.  Helen  and  (lurney 
were  enroute  to  a  convention  in  Memphis, 
Tennessee,  when  the  accident  occurred. 
Gurncy  suffered  fractured  ribs  for  which 
he  was  treated  at  a  nearby  hospital. 

Mrs.  Sholl  was  the  daughter  of  the  late 
Rev.  Calvin  A,  Hare  '77  and  Rene  Moore 
Hare  '72. 

Both  she  and  .VI  r.  Slioll  graduated  in 
the  Class  of  1910.  They  were  married  at 
Lewisburg,  September  17,  1913,  and  es- 
tablished residence  in  Pitman,  N.  J 

She  early  became  interested  in  i  Inin  li 
and  community  activities  and  was  one  of 
the  founders  of  the  Parent-Teacher  Asso- 
ciation. Ill  her  church  C(jiinections,  Mrs. 
Sholl  had  been  for  iiiaiiy  vcars  teacher  of 


a  large  class  of  young  women  in  the  First 
Baptist  Church  School,  Pitman;  a  fonner 
member  of  the  Board  of  Managers,  New 
Jersey  Baptist  Convention.  She  was  also 
a  member  of  Pi  Beta  Phi  Alumni  Club  of 
Southern  New  Jersey. 

Mrs.  Sholl  had  also  been  for  several 
years  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Visitors 
of  the  Vineland  Training  School  and  also 
of  the  Arts  Committee,  State  Museum, 
Department  of  Eudcation  of  New  Jersey. 

In  addition  to  her  husband,  she  is  sur- 
vived by  three  sons  all  graduates  of  Buck- 
nell Universitv  and  veterans  of  World 
II:  Dr.  John  G.  Sholl  III  -37.  a  spe- 
cialist in  internal  medicine  in  Cleveland, 
Ohio;  Donald  H.  Sholl  '42,  Haddonfield, 
with  N,  W,  Ayer  and  Son,  Philadelphia, 
and  Calvin  K.  Sholl  '46,  Syracuse,  N.  Y., 
assistant  personnel  manager  Bristol  Lab- 
oratories.   There  are  eleven  grandchildren. 

Sincere  sympathy  of  members  of  the 
class  of  1910  is  extended  to  this  all  Buck- 
nell Sholl  family  in  the  loss  of  wife  and 
mother. 

Hope  B.  Sterner  died  suddenly  on  Jan- 
uary 6,  1955,  near  the  First  Presbyterian 
Church,  Watsontown,  after  attending 
church  service  there. 

Sincere  sympathy  is  extended  to  his 
wife,  the  former  Ruth  Nicely,  two  sons, 
George  N.  '40  and  Robert  R. 

The  Hon.  Elmer  B.  Woods  has  been 
named  judge  of  the  Superior  Court  of 
New  Jersey. 

Mr,  and  Mrs,  Joseph  Yoder  (Emily  A. 
Lane)  have  spent  the  Winter  in  their  Sar- 
asota, Florida  home,  but  will  return  to 
their  Huntingdon,  Pa,,  home  about  the 
middle  of  April,

(Maze  Callahan) 

108  W.  Penn  St..  Miincv.  Pa, 


You  certainly  aren't  bored  with  tlie  wea- 
ther. Just  when  Spring  is  "bustin"  out  all 
over  it  starts  to  snow  and  freeze — then 
rain — more  snow  and  high  winds  at  53 
miles  per  hour.  Today  (April  5)  the 
sun  is  really  shining.  I  have  a  crocus 
blooming  here  and  there  and  a  lovely 
daphne  tree. 

I    have   one    customer    for   our   45th    re- 
union.   Mrs.    Douglass    Wallace     (Leone 
Havice).    She  writes: 
Dear  Maze. 

Your  card  with  note  arrived  today,  and  u.s 
things  have  quieted  down  a  little  after  the  holi- 
days. I  thought  this  would  be  a  good  time  to 
write   a   few   letters. 

Since  last  hearing  from  you.  we  have  sold  my 
big  house  on  Main  Street  and  bought  a  new  mod- 
ern ranch  type  house,  slightly  smaller  than  the 
ten  room  one.  I  live  here  about  seven  months, 
and  I  have  a  home  at  Tavares.  Florida,  where  I 
stay  the  other  five  months.  I  have  boats  at  both 
places  and  spend  a  lot  of  time  on  the  water  Ash- 
ing. 

In  regard  to  the  45th  reunion,  I  plan  to  attend 
if  I  have  to  come  on  crutches.  However,  my 
health  has  been  good  and  think  It  can  be  man- 
aged without  any  aid.  I  was  the  youngest  in  the 
class,  and  as  I  have  no  children  to  mark  the 
passing  of  time,  sometimes  I  think  that  the  years 
are  standing  still.  There  probably  will  not  be 
many    left    by    1957. 

My  sister  and  her  husband  have  a  summer  home 
In  Vermillion  and  one  near  mine  In  Florida.  She 
was  born  in  Muncy  wlille  my  father  was  minis- 
ter of  the  Lutheran  Church  there,  and  we  fre- 
quently made  trips  to  Pennsylvania.  Now  that  my 
last  aunt  has  passed  uway  tlu;  ties  are  broken, 
and  we  take  trips  In  other  parts  of  the  country. 

I  plan  lo  go  South  soon  and  will  return  In  May. 
In    the    meantime,    will    keep    In    touch    with    you. 

I  wish  you  and  your  family  a  happy  iiiui  pios- 
pcroUH   new   year. 

Sincerely, 

LEONK  H,   WALLACE

You  l<now  1  have  lu-vcr  hc-cn  abU-  In 
locate  Louis  Waldner.  I  got  my  B.  IJ. 
dirertory  and  as   thrrt    arc   several   Wald- 

15 


ners  listed.  I  just  picked  one  at  random, 
Nancy  Waldner  '48.  I  wrote,  sending  the 
letter  to  Ashland,  asking  if  she  knew  any- 
thing about  Louis.    She  wrote: 

"The  Louis  Waldner.  about  whom  you  wrote 
is  my  uncle.  Practically  all  the  Waldners  listed 
in  the  directory  are  related  as  eleven  in  our  im- 
mediate   family    attended    Bucknell. 

"Louis  is  married  to  a  New  York  girl  and  has 
lived  at  708  Eleventh  Ave.,  Middletown,  Ohio  for 
many  years.  They  have  four  children,  all  mar- 
ried. I  believe  they  have  eight  grandchildren. 
He  is  a  building  contractor  and  one  of  his  sons 
is  associated  with  him  in  the  business." 
Sincerely  yours.

April  18  was  a  big  night  for  the  Buck- 
nell Alumni  of  Lycoming  County;  a  din- 
ner at  the  Lycoming  Hotel  in  Williams- 
port  with  George  Walters  '33  as  the  able 
and  most  efficient  chairman,  with  Eugene 
Bertin  '17,  who  is  president  of  the  asso- 
ciation, kicking  from  the  side  lines.  Every- 
one strutted  his  stuff  to  pay  homage  to 
the  new  Prexy  and  Mrs.  Prexy. 

In  February  the  club  officers  and  di- 
rectors with  their  wives,  husbands  and 
sweethearts,  together  with  all  the  Alumni 
of  Montoursville  were  pleasantly  enter- 
tained at  the  home  of  Helena  '37  and 
Mable  Eck  '37.  The  plans  were  made  then 
for  this  gala  event.  Buck  and  Mrs.  Shott 
were  there.  They  showed  pictures  of  the 
new  buildings.  It's  remarkable  the  prog- 
ress that  has  been  made  since  we  were 
in  school. 

Can't  .guess  who  was  there — Mrs.  R.  J. 
White  (Hannah  Bertin).  I  haven't  seen 
her  since  Bucknell  days.  We  just  didn't 
have  enough  time  to  talk  about  everyone. 

Found  this  little  clipping  in  the  paper. 
A  Hollywood  grandmother  plans  to  col- 
lect signatures  on  a  petition  asking  Presi- 
dent Eisenhower  to  proclam  a  grand- 
mother's day. 

Mrs.  Mary  Lou  Whistler,  mother  of 
three  sons  and  grandmother  of  s  e  v  e  n 
youngsters,  said  she  got  the  idea  because 
grandmothers  rear  their  own  families  and 
then  their  children's  families  without  re- 
ceiving official  recognition.  I'll  sign.  Any- 
one else  want  to  add  her  2  cents? 

I'm  acquiring  a  new  daughter-in-law  in 
June.  They  are  having  a  wedding  so  my 
son  told  me  it  would  give  me  a  chance 
to  buy  a  new  dress  and  hat.  According 
to  that  attire  I'll  have  more  eyes  cast 
toward  me  than  the  bride,  when  I  prom- 
enade down  the  aisle  of  the  Pine  Street 
Presbyterian   Church   in   Harrisburg. 

Have  you  paid  your  income  tax? 

Have  you  contributed  to  the  Alumni 
Fund? 

Have  you  counted  your  blessings? 

If  you  can  answer  "yes"  to  all  of  these 
(|uestions,  you  can  ease  up  a  bit  on  your 
prayers.

Announce  the 

TESTIMONIAL  and  RECOGNITION 

OF  FORTY  YEARS  OP  SERVICE  BY 

REV.   RICHARD  H.  BOWLINC,   D.D.

FRIDAY  EVENING,  FEBRUARY   18 

Dr.  W.  H.  R.  Powell,  Guest  Speaker 

To     this   testimonial     and     recognition 
every    '13er    adds    hearty    commendation. 

16 


For  this  life  of  service  to  mankind  and 
to  God  all  classmates  and  college  acquain- 
tances of  Rev.  Bowling  express  graciously 
sincere  thanks.  A  commencement  speak- 
er at  our  graduation  exercises  forty-two 
years  ago  as  one  of  our  honor  students, 
"Dick,"  we  recall,  received  the  gold  watch 
award  in  acknowledgment  of  his  speech 
on  "The  Negro  and  Our  National  Ideals" 
as  the  most  distinguished  student  address 
on  that  day.  Felicitations  again  many 
years  after.   Rev.   Bowling! 

Miss  Winifred  A.  Naylor  retired  at  the 
close  of  last  year  as  supervisor  of  English 
in  the  Niagara  Falls,  N.  Y.,  Junior  and 
Senior  High  Schools,  where  she  had 
served  continuously  since  1923.  This  past 
winter  she  spent  in  Ormond  Beach,  Flor- 
ida. Besides  her  numerous  activities 
closely  related  to  her  school  duties,  she 
was  a  member  of  the  College  Club,  Inter- 
national House,  both  the  Western  N.  Y. 
branch  and  the  National  League  of  Amer- 
ican Pen  Women,  the  First  Baptist 
Church  and  a  worker  with  its  young  peo- 
ple. Frequently  she  gave  book  reviews 
and  talks  before  local  groups,  radio  talks, 
and  on  occasions  submitted  to  persuasion 
to  read  her  own  poems.  Her  first  book 
of  poems,  "Gold,"  was  published  in  1950. 
A  new  edition  with  many  poems  added 
will  appear  probably  next  year.  Your  re- 
porter treasures  his  autographed  copy  of 
"Gold,"  an  appealing  collection  of  thoughts, 
moods,  reactions  on  such  topics  as  "The 
Bird  Bath,"  "Niagara's  Gorge  On  a  Sum- 
mer Evening,"  "Paths  Across  Back 
Yards,"  "The  Trinity  Made  Manifest." 
"Evening  Fireplace."  Best  thoughts  for 
you  in  retirement,  Miss  Naylor,  say  all  of 
us  from  Bucknell  '13.

MRS.   ERLE  M.  TOPHAM 

iC.  Ray  Spearei 

425  W.  Sedgwick  St.,  Philadelphia  19.  Pa. 


(lulitor's  Note)  Three  years  ago,  Mrs. 
Carl  A.  Schug  (Alice  S.  Johnson)  very 
kindly  volunteered  to  be  Class  Reporter 
temporarily  in  order  to  further  the  plans 
for  the  class  reunion.  When  Ray  Speare 
retired  from  active  teaching  recently,  she 
was  asked  to  accept  appointment  as  the 
Class  Reporter,  and  we  are  pleased  to 
present  her  first  report. 

Dear  Seventeeners: 

Ever  since  I  retired.  Buck  has  been 
asking  me  to  take  on  the  job  of  Class 
Reporter.  I  have  been  reluctant  aljout 
doing  it  because  I'm  not  much  of  a  letter 
writer. 

I  do,  however,  lead  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALUMNUS  from  cover  to  cover  and  I 
enjoy  every  bit  of  it.  It's  so  nice  to  read 
about  old  friends. 

I  am  going  to  try  to  supply  the  news  if 
you  will  help.     How  about  it? 

We  just  had  a  fine  birthday  dinner  in 
Pliila.,  and  I  contacted  all  '15-'16-17crs 
in  our  area.  I  took  this  opportunity  to 
ask  for  news  from  all  '17ers. 

Here  is  some  news  I  learned  at  the  last 
Philadelphia  Alumni  Dinner: 


Holman  G.  Knouse  is  practicing  attorney  at 
736A  Commercial  Trust  Bldg.,  Philadelphia.  He 
was  a  corporal  in  World  War  I.  Chemical  Warfare 
Service  and  while  there  solved  a  tension  problem 
in  gas  masks,  thereby  helping  to  save  the  lives 
of  many  of  our  soldiers.  For  his  work  he  was 
recognized  in  an  edition  of  "Who's  Who  in  the 
East".  He  is  a  thirty-second  degree  Mason  and 
a  past  commander  of  Lu  Lu  Shrine.  He  says 
nature  has  been  kind  to  him  from  a  health  and 
financial    viewpoint. 

We  are  very  glad  to  hear  that  and  hope  it  will 
always  be  so  with  him. 

Olive  E.  Moore  lives  at  9  East  Benedict  Ave., 
Havertown.  Pa.,  and  she  would  like  to  hear  from 
others,  too,   so  she  told   about  her  life. 

Olive  is  continuing  her  teaching  in  the  math 
department  of  the  Haverford  Township  Senior 
High  School  and  finds  the  work  just  as  challeng- 
ing as  ever — "Modern  Youth  Permits  Pew  Dull 
Moments",  says  Olive.  She  spends  weeknds  and 
vacations  in  Bridgton,  N,  J.,  (Box  464),  her  home 
town  of  college  days. 

Summer  travel  has  provided  several  worthwhile 
trips  to  the  West  and  Canada,  which  in  turn  has 
given  home  and  work  a  new  appeal.  Olive  sends 
her  best  to  all  of  you. 

Mrs.  Walter  Tietze  (Frances  Silberstein)  still 
lives  in  Frankford  and  operates  her  family  stor- 
age business  called  the  "Frankford  Storage  Co." 
She  is  very  busy  and  jolly;  just  like  her  old  self. 
She  has  one  son.  We  hope  some  day  she'll  be 
able  to  come  to  one  of  our  fine  Philadelphia  Alum- 
ni Parties  and  also  to  our  40th  reunion  in  Lewis- 
burg two  years  from  now. 

Marie  Volkmar  teaches  Spanish  in  Germantown 
High  School.  At  the  present  time  she  is  on  leave 
and  is  travelling  in  Spain.  Marie  has  been  work- 
ing as  a  member  of  the  committee  chosen  to  write 
a  new  course  of  study  in  foreign  languages  for 
the  Philadelphia  School  System.  She  expected  to 
be  back  February  1,  but  was  taken  ill  and  arrived 
home    later,    fully    recovered. 

"That's  all  now" — Hope  we  can  have  news  from 
3  or  4  of  you  each  edition. 

Best  to  you  all  always, 

RAY 

Word  has  just  been  received  from  Mrs. 
F.  V.  Mick,  sister  of  Judge  Felix  Piekar- 
ski  '20,  of  the  death  of  her  husband,  Felix 
V.  Mikolajczak  (name  changed  to  Mick) 
on  March  22,  1954  after  an  illness  of  8 
years.  Before  his  illness,  Felix  held  prin- 
cipalships  in  Delaware  for  25  years.  Our 
sympathy  is  extended  to  his  wife,  Mrs. 
Eleanor  Mick  and  sons,  Felix  '40  and 
Frank  '41. 

Eugene  P.  Bertin  has  been  active  in 
historical  circles  of  Pennsylvania  in  re- 
cent months.  President  of  the  Historical 
Society  and  Museum  of  History  since 
1940,  he  has  this  year  compiled  the  Chron- 
icles of  Lycoming  County,  Pennsylvania, 
in  a  forty-page  document  which  will  be 
published  in  the  quarterly  ma.gazine  of  the 
county  society.  Flis  annual  report  for  1954 
in  which  President  Bertin  makes  a  declar- 
ation of  faith  of  historians,  was  printed 
serially  in  the  official  organ  of  the  Amer- 
ican Association  for  State  and  Local  His- 
tory. A  third  historical  project  is  the  de- 
velopment of  the  genealogy  of  the  Wood 
family,  a  most  distinguished  lineage  in 
Pennsylvania  annuals  beginning  in  l(i90  to 
descendants  still  living  in  1955.  Gene  is 
also  assistant  executive  secretary  of  P.  S. 
E.  A.  and  I  am  always  proud  when  I  see 
his  name  in  iu>'  Jonnuil. 

Arthur     G,     DeWald     has     retired     as

Herbert  C.  Grice,  Sr.,  of  Lewisburg,  was 
re-elected  Treasurer  of  the  Bucknell 
Alumni  Club  of  Union  County,  recently. 
(This  begins  to  sound  like  a  Phi  fiamm 
news  letter!) 

Dear  Classmates: 

As  I  reported  to  you  earlier,  I  have 
been  sending  letters  out  a  few  at  a  time, 
starting  at  the  bottom  of  the  list,  and 
while  the  response  has  not  been  100  per 
cent,  I  have  been  encouraged. 

Louis  Sipley  raised  my  morale  by  writ- 
ing me  a  long  newsy  letter,  and  I  will  pass 
some  of  it  on  to  you.  He  has  written  a 
book  called  "A  Half  Century  of  Color"  in 

M  .\  \    I  u  j  a 


connection  witli  liis  work  as  director  of 
the  American  Musenm  of  Photography, 
338  S.  15th  St..  Philadelphia.  He  tells  me 
he  writes  columns  for  two  local  magazines 
in  Philadelphia,  does  book  reviews  for  a 
national  photographic  magazine  and  is  his- 
torical editor  for  another.  (You  who  de- 
light in  photography  should  be  interested). 

He  says,  after  expressing  his  apprecia- 
tion of  my  small  effort  at  news  gathering 
for  which  I  am  most  grateful.  "I  think  it 
might  be  a  fine  idea  if  some  year  we  could 
have  a  reunion  of  the  Legitimate  1918 
class  by  having  all  those  who  entered  with 
us   in   the    Fall   of    1914    and   would    have 

graduated    with    us    in    1918    if   that   d 

war  had  not  intervened.  Maybe  it  could 
be  held  in  1957  which  would  be  forty 
years  from  the  time  we  were  still  intact 
as  a  body."  I  like  the  idea — anyone  else 
haA-e  any  thought  on  the  subject? 

Carlton  Shilling  reports  that  he  is  assis- 
tant cashier  of  the  McDowell  National 
Bank  of  Sharon.  Penna,  He  lives  at  289 
Xorris  Ave..  Sharon,  Pa.  He  is  married 
and  has  one  daughter  and  one  grand-

where  snow  storms  are  the  rule  ratlier 
than  the  exception.  I  did,  nevertheless. 
have  a  nice  visit  with  my  daughter  and 
got  to  know  the  members  of  the  Staff  at

IWr  REUNE  IN  JUNE 


According  to  a]i  old  Pennsylvania- 
Dutch  joke,  which  I  have  just  heard,  a 
lady  from  New  York  was  driving  through 
Pennsylvania  and  stopped  at  a  farmhouse. 
She  wanted  to  buy  some  corn.  "I'm 
sorry,"  said  the  farmer,  "but  the  corn  is 
all.""  "All  what?"  asked  the  lady.  "It's 
all  over,"  replied  the  farmer.  "All  over 
what?"  asked  the  lady.  Said  the  farmer, 
"It's  all  over  with!"  ...  In  a  few  more 
weeks  our  fifteenth  reunion  will  be  "all 
over  with,"  but  if  you'll  get  your  reserva- 
tions in  now  and  make  your  plans  to  be 
there,  you'll  be  remembering  the  reunion 
long  after.

Class  of  '09  to  Class  of  '54.  After  my

ate work  at  the  University  of  Pittsburgh. 
Spent  four  years  in  Navy  as  communica-

where  I  practiced  social  work  and  also 
married.  Came  to  Indianapolis  as  execu-

From  Puerto  Rico,  where  he  expects 
to  be  separated  from  the  Army  Medics, 
Dave  Rothrock  also  has  news:  "After  go- 
ing to  Fort  Sam  Houston,  Texas  for  a 
<iuick  three  weeks'  orientation  course  for 
doctors,  I  went  to  Camp  Pickett,  Va.,  in 
August  1953.  I  ran  an  open  psychiatric 
ward  for  four  or  five  months,  then  trans- 
ferred to  the  preventive  medicine  section, 
where  I  remained  until  my  departure  in 
April,  1954.  My  family  had  joined  me  in 
October,  1953,  but  when  they  started  to 
close  the  camp,  we  all  had  to  move.  On 
May  10,  1954,  we  arrived  here  and  are

concerning  the  reunion.  "Our  fine  little 
boys  and  I  are  driving  to  New  Jersey 
from  Seattle  in  June,  but  I  am  afraid  we 
will  not  be  on  campus  that  early  in  June. 
Your  plans  sound  quite  exciting  and  make 
me  anxious  to  want  to  see  and  talk  to 
classmates.  I  was  married  in  '45  and  the 
very   day   I   graduated   from   Temple   LTni- 

M  A  Y    in  r,  -, 


versity  in  "46  we  headed  for  the  West

girl.  Kimberly  Ann,  in  January.  1954.

William  Webster  wrote  a  wonderful 
letter  from  his  present  home  in  Gillette, 
Wyoming,  where  he  is  minister  of  the 
First  Baptist  Church.     He  writes: 

"It  hardly  seems  possible  that  we  have 
been  out  in  the  'cold  cruel  world'  ten 
years.  Though  the  Bucknell  memories 
that  go  trooping  by  are  fine  (fond)  in- 
deed. I  find  even  more  satisfaction  in 
being  well  prepared  for  the  right  voca- 
tion and  in  having  the  fun  of  a  family. 

"This  isolated  ranching  community 
seems  a  long  way  from  civilization  at 
times.  I  do  enjo\-  the  opportunity-  it  af- 
fords, however.  Two  years  ago  I  spent 
five  days  with  a  lawman,  trailing  13  car- 
load of  steers  60  miles  to  the  railroad. 
Five  days  on  a  horse  and  seeing  nothing 
but  cattle  and  cowboys  is  an  educational 
experience.  Last  sum.mer  we  took  our 
three  pre-school  children  and  spent  eight- 
een days  in  a  tent  in  the  beautiful  Big 
Horn  ilountains.  It  was  great.  We  are 
not  completeh-  isolated,  however.  The 
local  chapter  of  PEO  furnishes  a  schol- 
arship for  a  Burmese  girl  at  Bucknell  now. 

"Since  we  plan  to  come  East  for  the 
national  church  convention,  we  are  also 
hoping  to  be  in  Lewisburg  for  the  re- 
union. Perhaps  \ou  are  surprised  to  re- 
ceive this  letter.  I  wanted  you  to  know 
that  your  many  efforts  to  keep  us  in- 
formed are  not  in  vain." 

This  isn't  the  complete  list  of  those  at- 
tending reunion,  but  here  are  a  few:  Lois 
Depuy  Boston,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  John  B. 
Scanlan,  Phoebe  Follmer  Bacon,  Rev. 
William  Webster,  Arthur  Malcom  (7614 
Saginaw  Ave.,  Chicago  49,  111.;  who 
writes:  "I  plan  to  be  at  the  reunion,  but 
hope  there  are  a  few  men  there  as  I  re- 
call, the  5th  reunion  was  all  gals!",  Ma- 
riam  Krise  V'oung,  Xancy  and  Cal  Sholl.

REUNE  IN  JUNE 

What  excitement  for  the  alumnae  of 
1954.  They  have  cluttered  the  altars  from 
New  York  to  Philadelphia.  Even  your 
reporter  was  "tripping"  up  the  aisle  to 
the  tune  of  Lohengrin — no,  not  as  earth- 
shaking  as  you  may  think — this  occurred 
at  Dottie  Masemer  and  Marty  Carhart's 
very  lovely  wedding  on  February  6,  in 
York,  Penna. 

Since  Helen  Frazee's  marriage  to  Jack- 
son Ferren  in  August,  they  have  been  re- 
siding in  West  Palm  Beach,  Florida, 
where  Jack  is  stationed  with  the  Air

Carol  Itjen  has  been  Mrs.  Henry  Hal- 
ler  since  November  13.  Their  two  weeks 
in  Switzerland  which  followed  sounds 
marvelous. 

Margaret  Klugh  and  Robert  Bennett 
'52  were  married,  October  23,  1954  and  are

She  accepted  the  one  at  Tulane  and  is

Ending  this  report  on  a  sad  note,  I  have 
just  recently  learned  of  tlic  inilimely  death 
of  Harvey  N.  Mawhinney,  Jr.,  which  oc- 
curred when  the  car  he  was  driving  en- 
route  liome  to  iMidicott,  N.  Y.  from  the 
liiuknell-Colgate  game  on  November  6 
shot  over  a  guard  rail  into  the  Chenango 
River  near  Hamilton,  N.  \.  I  know  that 
the  members  of  the  tJass  of  '54  join  in 
sending  our  most  sincere  sympathy  to 
the  family  of  this  fellow-classmate  upon 
liearitig  of  the  tragedy.

An  Invitation  To  Bucknell  Alumni, 


All  of  Y 


OU 


Ivery^svhere

Ever  read  one  of  those  "money  hack  if  you're  not  satisfied"  advertisements? 
Well,  that's  -pretty  much  the  way  1  feel  about  Alumni  Weekend  in  ]une. 

I  can't  guarantee  your  money  hack,  hut  I'm  willing  to  wager  right  now 
that  if  you  return  to  the  campus  in  June,  you'll  agree  afterward  that  it  was  one 
of  the  most  rewarding  and  satisfying  experiences  of  your  life. 

That's  especially  true  for  those  of  you  who  may  have  let  a  good  many 
years  roll  hy  since  visiting  Biicknell.  But  even  for  those  who  go  hack  more 
often,  there  is  always  a  thrill  about  setting  foot  on  familiar  paths  as  "memo- 
ries fond  come  trooping  hy."  Spring  is  the  loveliest  time  of  the  year  at  Buck- 
nell.  I'll  defy  even  the  most  uninterested  alumnus  not  to  have  a  twinge  of 
sentiment  as  he  drives  over  the  rolling  Pennsylvania  hills  and  up  along  the  Sus- 
quehanna. And  especially  when  he  catches  that  first  glimpse  of  Lewisburg  in 
the  distance  with  its  church  spires  and  Old  Main  and  East  and  West  Colleges 
rising  above  the  tree  tops. 

These  are  important  days  for  Bucknell.  Growth  and  progress  are  evident 
everywhere— the  beautiful  new  F.  W.  Olin  Science  Building,  completely  remod- 
elled Taylor  Hall,  and  the  new  freshman  men's  dormitory  are  but  a  few  of  the 
physical  evidences.  Alumni  activity  is  marching  along,  too.  Reunion  weekend 
has  grown  tremendously  in  scope  and  interest  in  recent  years— each  June  finds 
the  number  of  returning  grads  greater  and  more  enthusiastic. 

Remember  the  dates— June  10,  11,  12  and  13— but  especially  the  reunion 
on  Saturday,  June  11  if  yotirs  is  one  of  the  5-year  classes,  like  1900,  1905,  1910, 
1915,  etc.  There  will  he  class  meetings,  receptions  and  parties  for  classmates, 
husbands,  wives  and  youngsters— a  time  for  renewing  old  friendships.  And  there 
ivill  be  the  Alumni  Parade,  the  All-Alumni  Luncheon  with  our  new  President 
as  a  guest  of  honor,  and  the  evening  jamboree  to  round  out  a  full  day  of  fun 
and  enjoyment.  And  your  overnight  dormitory  arrangements  are  set  if  you  mail 
the  reservation  slip  (p.  3)  now. 

Better  start  right  now  with  your  plans.  Sidetrack  your  other  dates,  and

The  academic  year  1955-56,  opening  with  the  regis- 
tration of  the  freshman  class  of  1959  on  September  17, 
marks  the  110th  j-ear  of  the  University's  existence. 
Appropriate  celebrations  of  the  anniversarj-  of  the 
University's  Charter  Day — February  5,  1846^ — will  be 
scheduled  on  a  nation-wide  scale  to  permit  the  65 
Bucknell  Alumni  Clubs  to  participate  in  the  occasion. 

However,  the  whole  academic  year  will  feature  the 
110th  year  starting  with  a  University  Convocation  on 
September  28  to  mark  the  dedication  of  the  completed 


F.  ^^^  OUn  science  Building.  On  October  15,  during 
the  Dad's  Day  celebration,  the  dedication  of  the  James

nell faculty  will  be  honored  at  a  dinner  to  be  held  on 
the  campus. 


Colgate  Game  to  Feature 
Homecoming,  November  5 

In  the  words  of  Lewis  Carroll,  "The  time 
has  come,  the  Walrus  said,  "to  talk  of  many 
things."  Homecoming  is  the  time  also 
when  many  exciting  things  take  place  on 
the  Bucknell  campus.  This  year  again  your 
committee  of  alumni,  students,  faculty,  ad- 
ministration and  townsfolk  has  been  at  work 
to  assure  you  a  comfortable  and  pleasant  vis- 
it to  the  campus  on  this  biggest  of  fall  Uni- 
versity celebrations. 

You  won't  want  to  miss  one  second  of  the 
long  weekend.  Come  Friday  night,  Novem- 
ber 4,  in  time  to  participate  with  the  students, 
band,  football  team,  coaches  and  other  alum- 
ni in  the  pep  rally  at  7 :30  at  Davis  Gym- 
nasium. Here's  a  chance  to  relive  your  own 
thrilling  undergrad  days.  You  can  yell,  sing 
and  cheer  "Beat  Colgate"  and  generally  have 
a  whale  of  a  time  and  incidentally,  get  a 
look  at  the  football  team. 

After  the  rally,  you  will  want  to  climb  the 
Hill  to  register  at  the  Carnegie  Building 
(Old  Library)  if  you  haven't  done  so  before 
and  to  check  on  the  arrival  of  Joe,  Mary, 
Tom  or  Helea 

Bison  Club  Breakfast 

Since  you  must  eat  breakfast  anyhow, 
come  to  the  Lewisburg  Club,  131  Market 
St.,  on  Saturday  promptly  at  8  :30  a.  m.  and 
enjoy  an  excellent  breakfast,  gwjd  fellow- 
ship and  get  the  latest  dope  about  the  team ; 
how  they  are  passing,  tackling,  punting  and 
blocking.  Don't  forget  that  the  ladies  too 
are  always  very  welcome  at  the  Bison  Club 
Breakfast. 

After  breakfast,  you  will  be  in  fine  shape 
to  tour  the  campus  from  end  to  end,  visiting 
the  new  buildings  and  observing  the  many 
improved  facilities  that  have  been  made 
available  since  your  last  visit 

Homecoming  Parade 

At  prcis  time  the  student  organizations 
that  provide  the  colorful  Homecoming  Pa- 
rade have  not  yet  had  an  opportunity  to 
meet  and  prepare  their  plans,  but  it  is  as- 
.^umcd  that  the  traditional  float  parade,  put 
on  by  the  fraternities  and  sororities  on  the 
theme  of  "Beat  Colgate"  will  again  be  a 
part  of  the  Homecoming  program, 

All-Alumni  Luncheon 

The  "N'>  Sp<''l]c'  rule  invoked  last 
year  at  the  Homecoming  luncheon  was  so 

SKI'TEMBER     1055 


successful  that  it  is  planned  to  feature  only 
the  Bucknell  Band  and  cheer  leaders  at  the 
luncheon  scheduled  at  noon  in  the  Davis 
Gymnasium.  The  Bucknell  University  Band 
which  holds  a  pre-season  band  camp  each 
year  will  be  on  hand  with  its  usual  pep  and 
tricky  routines  to  thrill  you.  The  cheer 
leaders  will  be  on  stage  to  help  swell  the 
noise  and  get  you  in  first-class  shape  for  the 
game.  The  luncheon  is  a  must  to  give  you 
the  advance  look  of  things  to  come.  Be  sure 
to  send  the  reservation  forms  appearing  on 
pages  3  and  6. 

Bucknell  vs.  Colgate 

Of  course,  all  this  preparation  has  been  to 
prepare  you  for  the  organized  mayhem  that 
is  scheduled  for  Memorial  Stadium  at  2  :00 
p.  m.  The  luncheon  will  end  in  time  for  you 
to  reach  your  seat  (better  send  in  the  ticket 
reservation  on  page  6  now)  in  good  time 
for  the  pre-game  festivities  and  the  kickoflf. 
Those  Red  Raiders  from  Colgate  are  back 
again  as  the  Homecoming  feature,  and  the 
Thundering  Herd  is  determined  to  break  the 
Raiders  two-year  winning  streak.     It  won't 


be   easy,   but    with   your   cheers,    it   will   be 
possible. 

Bison  Round-up  and  Reception 

More  to  come?  Yes  indeed!  After  the 
game,  we  all  meet  at  Davis  Gym  and  replay 
the  whole  game,  explaining  to  classmates  and 
friends  just  how  it  was  done.  And  here's 
the  chance  to  meet  that  classmate  you  have 
been  looking  for  all  day.  He  or  she  will  be 
there  to  greet  you  at  the  cider  barrel. 

Evening  Celebration 

Then  there  will  be  time  for  a  leisurely 
dinner  followed  by  the  annual  Homecoming 
All-Campus  Dance  and  entertainment  in  the 
Davis  Gym  at  9  :00  p.  m.  Here's  another  op- 
portunity to  meet  the  gang  and  see  the  pres- 
entation of  the  Homecoming  trophies. 

All  in  all,  it  will  be  a  grand  celebration, 
so  better  send  your  reservations  for  the 
game,  the  luncheon  and  the  Bison  Club 
breakfast  without  delay.  (See  pages  3  and 
6).

ALUMNI  REUNIONS  DRAW  BANNER  CROWD 

KRESS  BENEFACTION  ANNOUNCED 


Despite  inclement  weather,  a  large  number 
of  Alumni  were  again  drawn  to  the  campus 
on  June  10-13.  A  full  and  enjoyable  pro- 
gram of  activities  was  planned  by  the  class 
presidents  and  reunion  chairmen  of  the  Emer- 
itus Club  and  the  Classes  of  1900,  1905,  1910, 
1915,  1920,  1925,  1930,  1935,  1940,  1945,  1950, 
1954  and  1955. 

A  capacity  crowd  of  1,100  attended  the 
annual  Alumni  luncheon  at  the  Davis  Gym- 
nasium and  was  thrilled  by  the  announce- 
ment that  Rush  Kress  '00,  honorary  chairman 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  will  this  year  con- 
tribute one  dollar  to  Uie  Bucknell  Alumni 
Annual-Giving  Fund  for  each  two  dollars 
contributed  to  the  Fund. 

Arrangements  for  the  weekend  of  get-to- 
gethers were  made  by  the  commencement  ac- 
tivity committee  of  students,  faculty,  and 
alumni  under  the  direction  of  Raymond  K. 
Irwin  '47  who  provided  for  the  meeting 
places  of  the  numerous  groups. 

Bucknellians  traveled  from  far  and  wide 
to  attend  the  reunions  at  their  old  Alma  Ma- 
ter. The  greatest  distance  traveled  to  at- 
tend the  class  reunion  was  by  Mrs.  Paul 
Peters  '35  (Margaret  Weddell)  who  came 
from  Johannesburg,  South  Africa,  to  cele- 
brate the  twentieth  reunion  of  her  Class 
of  1935. 

Classmates  had  an  opportunity  to  renew 
old  friendships,  note  changes  that  have  oc- 
curred on  the  campus,  and  attend  specially 
planned  activities.  Included  in  the  weekend 
events  was  a  narrated  pictorial  history  of  the 
University  entitled  "The  Bucknell  Story." 
Fraternity  and  sorority  symposia  were  of 
interest  to  many  and  The  University  Players 
joined  forces  with  the  Cap  and  Dagger  to 
present  selections  from  "Carousel"  and  "Mis- 
ter Roberts"  at  the  Jamboree  on  Saturday 
night. 

Dr.  Horn,  Olin  Foundation  Head, 
Lays  Cornerstone 

Highlight  of  the  weekend  was  the  laying 
of  the  cornerstone  for  the  F.  W.  Olin  Sci- 
ence Building  at  noon  Saturday.  President 
Merle  M.  Odgers  presided  over  the  ceremony 
which  was  shortened  due  to  inclement  weath- 
er. However,  rain  did  not  dampen  the  en- 
thusiasm of  the  large  group  in  attendance. 
Dr.  Mark  C.  Ebersole,  University  Chaplain, 
offered  the  invocation  and  benediction.  Dr. 
Joseph  W.  Henderson  '08,  chairman  of  Buck- 
nell's  Board  of  Trustees,  introduced  the  spe- 
cial guests :  Dr.  Charles  L.  Horn,  president 
of  the  Olin  Foundation;  James  O.  Wynn, 
Esq.,  vice  president  and  counsel  for  the  Olin 
Foundation;  and  Ralph  Clark,  the  Founda- 
tion's secretary.  James  O.  Wynn,  Esq.,  pre- 
sented the  cornerstone  which  was  accepted  on 
behalf  of  the  University  by  dean  and  vice- 
president  in  charge  of  academic  affairs,  Dr. 
William  H.  Coleman.  Dr.  Charles  L.  Horn 
was  assisted  in  laying  the  cornerstone  by  Mr. 
James  O.  Wynn,  Dr.  Joseph  W.  Henderson 
'08,  Dr.  Merle  M.  Odgers,  Dr.  William  H. 
Coleman,  and  Mr.  Ralph  Clark.  The  Olin 
Foundation  officials  were  presented  with  gift 
trowels,  replicas  of  the  one  used  during  the 
ceremony,  by  Dr.  Odgers  and  Dr.  Coleman. 

Plan  Dedication 

September  28,  Bucknell's  Convocation  date,

F.  W.  Olin  Science  Building.  The  building

tion of  students,  faculty,  and  guests.  Dr. 
John  C.  Warner,  president  of  Carnegie  In- 
stitute of  Technology  and  president  of  the

ing teachers,  and  guests  will  include  repre- 
sentatives from  both  industrial  and  educa- 
tional institutions. 

Treasure  Room  Opened 

Completed  through  the  gift  of  the  Class  of 
1954,  the  Bucknell  Treasure  Room  in  the 
Ellen  Clarke  Bertrand  Library  was  opened, 
giving  Alumni  and  friends  the  first  oppor- 
tunity to  inspect  the  several  collections. 
Among  these  were  a  Japanese  oriental  art 
collection,  original  manuscripts,  photographs 
and  clippings  pertaining  to  outstanding  ac- 
complishments of  Alumni,  pictures  of  sev- 
eral Bucknell  presidents,  the  original  Buck- 
nell charter  signed  by  Governor  Francis 
Shunk  in  1846  and  other  items  of  interest. 
An  additional  feature  was  an  unusual  auto- 
graph collection  which  contained  signatures 
of  such  famous  persons  as  Albert  Einstein, 
Hans  Christian  Andersen,  Oliver  Wendell 
Holmes,  Helen  Keller,  President  Eisenhow- 
er, and  Irving  Berlin.  In  the  rooms  adjacent 
to  the  Treasure  Room  were  displayed  student 
art  and  photo  exhibits.  Other  displays  in 
the  library  featured  "The  Art  of  the  Book," 
exhibited  on  the  main  floor,  which  included 
a  portion  of  the  works  of  Elmer  Adler  and 
a  collection  presented  by  Dr.  John  A.  Walls 
'98.  A  collection  of  bookmarks,  several  an- 
cient scrolls,  and  an  exhibit  of  books  once 
banned,  such  as  Machiavelli's  "The  Prince 
and  Discourses,"  were  on  display.

hilarity  and  fun  Saturday  afternoon  when 
a  capacity  crowd  gathered  to  attend  the  An- 
nual Alumni  Luncheon.  Director  of  food 
services,  Mrs.  Esther  B.  Long  '47,  with  the 
aid  of  her  staff  and  students,  once  again

General  Carpenter  in  his  Baccalaureate  ad- 
dress "Sedatives  or  Solutions,"  declared  that 
the  world  today  needs  something  to  live 
for  and  that  the  solutions  of  the  world's  ills 
may  be  found  by  individuals  of  deep,  serious 
conviction  who  are  motivated  by  dynamic 
action.  The  opportunity  given  Noah  to  create 
a  new  world  and  his  failure  through  per- 
sonal weakness  was  the  tlieme  used  by  Gen- 
eral Carpenter  in  his  address. 

Mr.  Diemand  in  his  Commencement  ad- 
dress "Know-How  Isn't  All !"  advised  grad- 
uates that  knowledge  without  character  will 
])rove  inefl^ective  and  urged  them  to  retain 
and  use  the  set  of  true  values  essential  to 
nn'cting  tlie  world's  problems.  He  stressed 
the  importance  of  character  and  the  values 
which  make  up  cliaracter.  Graduates  were 
urged  to  retain  and  use  those  values  after 
leaving  the  campus.

Grid  Prospects 

Four  months  really  isn't  a  long  time,  un- 
less you  happen  to  be  a  football  coach.  If 
you  are,  it  is  because  four  months  is  roughly 
the  amount  of  time  that  elapses  between  the 
close  of  spring  practice  and  the  beginning 
of  the  all-important  fall  pre-season  sessions. 

The  coach,  without  his  players,  being  like 
the  ship  without  a  sail,  can  do  little  more 
than  meditate.  The  meditation  often  leads 
to  worry,  especially  when  thoughts  of  Har- 
vard, Colgate  and  Miami  run  through  his 
mind.  Time  moves  slowly.  Sometimes  four 
months  seem  like  eight. 

Thus,  it  is  a  happy  mentor  who  romps 
onto  the  field  in  September,  when  thought 
can  finally  give  way  to  action.  Bucknell's 
Harry  Lawrence  was  no  exception,  on  Sept. 
1,  when  the  cleats  and  togs  came  out  at  Lew- 
isburg  and  football  became  the  order  of  the 
day. 

A  glance  at  Mr.  Lawrence,  however,  as 
his  charges  selected  their  gear  and  trotted 
to  the  practice  field  to  take  part  in  the  pho- 
tography and  other  extra-curricular  activities 
that  mark  the  first  day  of  football  drills,  led 
one  to  believe  that  the  wheels  that  turned 
continually  in  the  Lawrence  cranium  during 
the  summer  were  still  very  much  at  work. 

As  some  of  the  linemen  went  by  Harry 
looked  at  them  sharply.  They  weren't  big 
boys  by  present  gridiron  standards.     A  peek 


around  the  field  indicated  that  very  few  of 
the  players  present  scaled  more  than  200 
pounds.  Gone  from  the  football  scene  were 
the  23S-pound  Antkowiaks,  Minkers  and 
Lloyds.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  gone  was  the 
entire  1954  forward  wall  and  11  of  the  14 
lads  whom  Lawrence  liked  to  call  his  "for- 
ward nucleus."  Today  it  was  a  bit  difficult 
to  differentiate  between  lineman  and  backs. 
There  were  few  big  men  on  the  field. 

Lawrence  scanned  the  field  and  started 
counting  heads.  There  were  less  than  40 
present.  Many  of  the  players,  especially  the 
linemen,  were  newcomers  up  from  last  fall's 
frosh  team.  Inexperience  would  have  to  be 
overcome.  A  lack  of  depth  would  have  to 
be  circumvented. 

The  quarterbacks  lobbed  a  few  passes. 
Neither  Tashjy,  Klaber  or  Flurer  could  be 
found  on  the  receiving  end.  Capable  ends 
would  have  to  be  developed  if  the  attack  was 
to  be  balanced. 

The  Lawrence  brow  deepened.  Would 
the  new  line  be  adequate?  Could  veterans 
like  Ralph  Riker,  John  Michalski,  Jim  Koz- 
lowski  and  Art  Kinney  and  sophomores  such 
as  Bob  Holmes,  Tom  Kane  and  Dick  Jew- 
ens  form  a  forward  wall  strong  enough  to 
cope  with  the  larger  arrays  they  would  cer- 
tainly be  pitted  against?  And  how  would 
the  younger  men  fare  when  they  squared 
off  against  two  and  three-year  veterans? 
Would   the   Bisons  be  out-gunned  by  oppo-

nents  three  and  four  deep  in  every  position? 
Could  veterans  Dave  Wallis  and  Bill  Reilly 
and  soph  Bob  Walasek  take  up  the  needed 
slack  in  the  flank  positions?  Those  were  the 
problems,  and  they  were  many. 

Harry  glanced  to  the  far  side  of  the  field 
where  Bill  Lane  was  talking  to  a  group  of 
the  backs.  Bob  Ford  was  present  and  ship- 
shape. Last  fall  the  young  man  had  been 
the  best  back  on  the  squad  and  one  of  the 
best  in  the  East.  He  has  rushed  the  ball 
4.5  yards  per  try,  totaled  636  yards  in  the 
season  and  scored  nine  touchdowns.  He 
would  be  even  better  this  season. 

Dick  McCartney  was  there  along  with  Bob 
Sierer,  Jim  Stewart,  Ron  Hendricks,  Bill 
Ross  and  Chuck  Wagner.  Hendricks  and 
Stewart  would  handle  the  quarterbacking 
more  than  acceptably.  Sierer  and  McCart- 
ney were  seasoned  veterans  who  hit  hard. 
Ross  could  be  a  sleeper.  He  was  injured 
quite  a  bit  last  year.  And  soph  Wagner  had 
speed  to  spare.  He  was  a  10-second  man. 
There  would  be  few  problems  in  the  back- 
field. 

Bill  Wrabley,  a  new  coacli  but  not  a  new 
Bucknellian,  had  the  linemen  running  as 
Lawrence  moved  in  that  direction.  Very 
few  dragged  their  heels.  The  line  wouldn't 
be  big,  but  it  would  be  faster  than  last  fall's. 
The  forwards  seemed  anxious  and  eager. 
Seven  jobs  were  open  and  everybody  wanted 
one.  Morale  wouldn't  be  a  problem.  There 
was  plenty  of  spirit. 

Lane  turned  Hendricks  and  Stewart  loose 
for  some  kicking  and  both  started  booming 
the  ball.  Last  fall  each  averaged  better 
than  35-yards  per  punt,  and  neither  was  a 
slouch  on  kickoffs.  The  kicking  would  be 
as  good  as  the  quarterbacking  and  the  lat- 
ter would  be  good.  Both  signal-callers  were 
long  on  experience  and  both  could  pass. 

Harry  walked  toward  the  center  of  the 
field.  The  backfield  situation  was  excellent. 
Lots  of  depth  there  and  hard-hitting  opera- 
tors. It  was  nice  to  be  two-deep  at  quarter- 
back with  both  boys  able  to  pass  and  kick. 
Up  front  there  would  never  be  a  lack  of 
speed,  and  spirit  and  morale  were  high. 
Those  were  the  assets. 

Lawrence  blew  his  whistle.  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity's 70th  intercollegiate  football  season 
was  underway.  It  would  be  an  interesting 
one.

Bison  Club 

A  free  round-trip  plane  ride  to  the  Miami- 
Bucknell  football  game  in  Miami  on  Nov. 
11  is  on  tap  for  some  fortunate  and  ener- 
getic Bison  Club  member,  according  to  an 
armotmcement  made  by  Athletic  Director  Al- 
bert E.  Humphreys  and  clarified  by  Jay  P. 
Mathias,  president  of  the  Bison  Club. 

At  the  club's  semi-annual  breakfast  meet- 
ing during  Alumni  Reunion  weekend  last 
June,  Humphreys  annoimced  that  the  athletic 
department,  to  foster  interest  in  the  Bison 
Club,  will  supply  space  on  the  Bison  team 
plane  to  Miami  for  the  club  member  who  re- 
cruits the  most  new  members. 

The  rules  of  the  contest,  as  outlined  by 
Mathias,  specify  that  the  winner  will  be  the 
member  who  enlists  the  most  new  members 
between  the  June  meeting  and  Oct.  IS,  the 
date  of  the  Bucknell-Temple  Dads'  Day 
game  here. 

It  was  also  revealed  that  henceforth  Bison 
Club  contributions  will  be  used  for  general 
athletic  aid  instead  of  being  restricted  to 
tuition  scholarships.  First  goal  under  the 
new  plan  will  provide  board  for  freshmen 
on  athletic  squads,  with  the  funds  being 
administered  as  a  regular  item  of  the  ath- 
letic department  budget. 

Elected  to  office  at  the  meeting  were  Jay 
P.  Mathias,  president ;  Thomas  Speck,  Jo- 
seph P.  Dent  and  Frank  Wilsbach,  vice 
presidents ;  John  H.  Shott,  secretary,  and 
Warren  S.  Reed,  treasurer. 

Serving  on  the  executive  committee  are 
Rush  H.  Kress,  John  J.  Conway,  William 
J.  Busscr,  Dr.  Edward  Pangburn,  Harry 
Dayhoff  and  Dr.  David  W.  Morgan.  Arthur 
Von,  Anthony  Wilsbach  and  T.  J.  Mangan 
were  named  representatives  to  the  athletic 
advisory  committee.

Wrabley  Joins  Staff 

William  J.  Wrabley  '51a  grid  standout  for 
Bucknell  at  center  from  1948-1950,  has  re-

Ostendarp's  acceptance  of  a  coaching  post  at 
^^'illiams  College.

wards. Bill  Lane,  who  served  as  line  coach 
for  the  past  two  years,  takes  over  as  end 
and  backfield  mentor.  A  28-year-old  Para- 
troop  veteran,  Wrabley  came  to  Bucknell 
from  Turtle  Creek  High  School,  near  Pitts- 
burgh, where  he  was  active  as  a  coach  and 
teacher.

In  192S  Freshmen  paraded  around  the

after  singing  the  well-known  song:  "How

EMERITUS  CLUB 


Dr.  and  Mrs.  Paul  E.  Witmeyer  served  in 
the  capacity  of  Faculty  Host.  Their  gracious 
helpfulness  was  much  appreciated. 

Due  to  the  absence  from  the  city  of  the  presi- 
dent, Professor  Frank  Simpson  and  also  the 
secretary-treasurer,  Mr.  John  Gundy,  the  vice 
president.  Dr.  Mabel  Grier  Lesher  presided  and 
Mr.  Charles  I.  Boyer  served  as  volunteer  re- 
cording secretary. 

Following  the  taking  of  the  group  picture 
the  report  of  the  minutes  of  the  1954  meeting, 
sent  by  the  former  secretary-treasurer,  B.  Meade 
Wagenseller  '95,  were  read  and  the  following 
new  officers  were  elected :  president,  Rev. 
Charles  Teufel  '04,  Milton,  R.  D. ;  vice  presi- 
dent, Professor  Frank  Burpee  '01,  Lewisburg; 
and  secretary-treasurer,  Mr.  Charles  I.  Boyer 
'02,  Lewisburg. 

Attention  was  called  to  the  desirability  of  the 
president    appointing    two    additional    members 


to  serve  with  the  three  elected  officers  as_  a 
Board  of  Directors,  which  is  in  accordance  with 
the  Constitution.  Further,  it  was  felt  that  such 
a  Board  might  profitably  consider  the  request 
of  the  Alumni  Secretary  for  the  Emeritus 
Group  to  suggest  possible  improvements  in  the 
alumni  program. 

Attention  was  called  to  the  new  film,  The 
Bucknell  Story  and  regret  over  the  omission  of 
some  of  the  outstanding,  deceased  members  of 
the  faculty  under  whom  most  of  the  Emeritus 
Alumni  studied,  was  expressed. 

Thirteen  members  from  seven  classes  and 
three  guests  were  present.  Greetings  were  also 
received  from  eleven  absentees  who  represented 
four   additional   classes,    ranging  from    1892  to 

1899.

decorated  with  50th  Anniversary  motifs  and 
"Hen"  Smiley  was  a  most  congenial  toast-

the  Board  of  Trustees,  brought  greetings  to  the 
Class  and  told  of  the  growth  of  the  University 
in  the  past  few  years.  There  it  was  learned 
that  Edith  Fetherston  had  made  a  gift  to  Buck- 
nell of  $1,000.00  in  the  name  of  the  Clasf  of 
1905 ;  the  interest  from  the  money  each  }-ear

The  50th  amiiversary  of  the  Class  of  1905 
was  a  reunion  of  joyous  and  warm  personal 
fellowship  for  the  22  members  of  the  Class  and 
their  spouses  who  met  together  at  Bucknell.  A 
roll  call  brought  out  many  expressions  of  ap- 
preciation by  those  present  for  those  who  were 
not  privileged  to  attend  and  for  those  who  have 
passed  from  among  us. 

The  morning  of  June  11,  the  Class  members 
met  in  Bertrand  Library  where  there  was  a 
short  business  meeting  and  an  hour  of  fellow- 
ship and  reminiscence.  Miss  Claire  Conway, 
the  president,  was  unable  to  attend,  so  John  B. 
Smiley,  our  efficient  master  of  ceremonies,  pre- 
sided.     The    following    officers    were    elected :

president,  Mrs.  Edith  Kelly  Fetherston;  vice 
president,  Harold  V.  Lesher ;  secretary-treasur- 
er, John  B.  Smiley;  class  fund  manager.  Miss 
Claire  Conway;   class  reporter,  L.  C.  Hylbert. 

The  class  members  were  guests  of  the  college 
at  the  Alumni  Luncheon  which  was  one  of  the 
outstanding  events  of  the  weekend.  Following 
the  luncheon,  the  class  members  and  their 
guests  gathered  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  Edith 
Kelly  Fetherston  for  a  social  hour  at  which  old 
friendships  and  old  times  were  recalled.  Many 
attended  the  Jamboree  that  evening  in  the  gym 
which  was  a  gay  affair.  Sunday  noon  we  all 
gathered  again  for  dinner  together  at  the  Lew- 
isburg Inn  where  the  tables  were  attractively

Our  4Sth  reunion  began  Friday  evening  and 
continued  through  Commencement  weekend  off 
and  on;  but  Alumni  Day  marked  the  real 
reunion. 

In  the  morning,  with  Col.  and  Mrs.  J.  Worth- 
en  Proctor,  facility  host  and  hostess,  we  met 
in  the  Engineering  Building  for  an  informal 
business  meeting.  Note  was  taken  of  the  pass- 
ing during  the  past  five  years  of  Frank  Painter, 
W.  Lee  Sprout,  Hope  Sterner,  Hugh  Roser, 
William  Gatehouse,  and  Helen  Sholl.  Serious 
illness  of  Stella  Houghton  John  was  mentioned. 

Greetings  came  from  Emily  Yoder,  AUie 
Puddicombe,  Ruby  Pierson,  Priscilla  Thomp- 
son, E.  Stanley  Hartshorn,  and  Judge  "Dutch" 
Woods. 

There  was  an  expression  of  appreciation  for 
the  fine  work  Helen  and  Gurney  Sholl  did  on 
the  Reunion  Book  prior  to  Helen's  tragic  acci-

dent  and  for  George  Street's  excellent  comple- 
tion of  it. 

At  Spanish  House,  after  Alumni  Luncheon, 
we  continued  the  reunion  more  informally  with 
many  a  "Do  you  remember — ?"  and  news  of 
this  and  that  absent  member.  The  steady  down- 
pour which  lasted  all  day  failed  to  dampen 
anyone's  spirits.  It  was  good  fun  and  very 
satisfying  to  meet  old  friends  again. 

To  quote  from  a  letter  received  from  Sara 
Ray  after  reunion  weekend — "I  had  partly  for- 
gotten how  very  beautiful  the  campus  is  and 
I  love  to  remember  it  even  in  the  rain"  and 
"I  really  am  sorry  for  those  who  stayed  at 
home" — they  so  well  express  the  sentiments  of 
all  there.  Already  we're  looking  forward  to 
our  50th.     Begin  now  to  reserve  the  date!

BE   SURE  TO  BE   HERE 

ON   HOMECOMING 

FOR  THE 

MEETING  OF   ENGINEERS, 

THERE   WILL   BE   NEWS. 


Wow!  What  a  day,  both  in  memory  and 
weather.  The  rains  came  and  so  did  the  mem- 
ories of  yesteryear.  Many  of  the  classmates 
are  now  living  over  their  days  with  the  grow- 
ing up  of  their  grandchildren — at  least  so  it 
seemed  in  the  remarks  made  at  the  class  reunion 
in  Room  117  of  the  Engineering-  Building.  Not 
too  many  out  of  the  entire  class  were  present 
as  the  photo  will  show,  but  the  spirit  of  those 
present  was  jubilant  and  many  saw  each  other 
for  the  first  time  in  years.  Those  not  present 
were  mentioned  and  especially  so  since  the 
L'Agenda  was  opened  and  names  were  read. 
Naturally  there  was  disappointment,  in  that  we 
did  not  get  to  see  some  we  had  hoped  would 
be  there. 

Clair  Groover  presided  and  most  all  know 
that  he  lives  in  Lewisburg.  The  following  offi- 
cers were  elected :  president,  Thomas  B.  Wil- 
liams; vice  president,  John  M.  Wingert;  secre- 
tary-treasurer. Reverend  Frederick  R.  Gren- 
inger;  class  fund  manager,  Myrna  Strickler 
Hines ;  and  class  reporter,  Frederick  R.  Gren- 
inger. 

A  quick  "run-down"  of  those  present :  John 
M.    (Jack)    Wingert,  Altoona,  Chemical  Engi- 


neer for  PRR;  Emma  Dillon,  Trenton,  Law- 
yer ;  Harold  C.  Edwards,  Stroudsburg,  Lawyer ; 
Gilbert  Meredith,  Rosalie  Park,  N.  J.,  Sales- 
man; Edward  (Ed)  Pangburn,  Lewisburg, 
Medicine;  F.  Theodore  (Ted)  Brown,  Mayor 
of  West  Palm  Beach,  Fla.,  Engineer;  George 
Irland,  Lewisburg,  Head  of  Electrical  Engineer- 
ing Department,  Bucknell  University;  Isabelle 
Bond,  Williamsport,  teaching  and  Dean  of 
Girls,  Williamsport  High  School ;  Ramona  Len- 
ington  Davies,  White  Plains,  N.  Y.,  Homemak-

B.  Williams,  Langhorne,  Engineering. 

Those  who  attended  the  Alumni  Dinner  but 
were  unable  to  attend  the  class  meeting  were:

CLASS   OF    1920 


The  meeting  was  called  to  order  by  Robert 
Bell  and  decision  was  made  to  elect  officers. 
Ix^oking  forward  to  the  4()th  anniversary  re- 
union, Dr.  l^-.sfcr  Lighton  was  chosen  presi- 
dent; Corbin  W.  Wyanl,  vice  i)rc-sident ;  Mrs.

as  class  fund  manager ;  and  Hayes  L.  Person 
was  re-elected  class  reporter. 

A  sum  of  $114  left  in  the  class  treasury 
was  voted  lo  be  turned  over  to  the  Bucknell 
ICiidowmcnt  l'"und. 

An  appreciated  letter  from  T.  Cortlandt  Wil- 
liams, Sr.,  recently  elevated  to  president  of  the

Stone  and  Webster  Corporation,  was  read.  A 
list  of  members  whose  addresses  have  been 
lost  was  read  and  several  leads  to  locate  them 
will  be  investigated.  A  lengthy  list  of  class 
members  who  have  passed  away  was  read  and 
a  moment  of  silence  marked  their  memory. 

Newly  elected  President  Lighten  was  called 
upon  to  make  remarks.  He  complimented  some 
30  members  present  and  urged  greater  attend- 
ance at  these  annual  reunions,  especially  the  five 
year  events.  He  urged  all  to  recall  how  much 
each  was  really  obligated  to  the  University  and 
cited  some  ways  to  secure  even  greater  interest. 

Reunion  chairman  "Bob"  Bell  urged  alumni 
fund  contributions  no  matter  how  small.  He 
emphasized  "Les"  Lighton's  remarks  about  the 
Class  of  1920  being  very  prominent  in  all 
Alumni   activities   and   often   leading   the   field. 


Just  about  every  member  present  took  active 
part  in  discussions  and  the  old-time  1920  spirit 
was  strongly  in  evidence.  All  promised  Re- 
porter "Scoop"  Person  1920  class  news  for 
each  issue  of  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS. 

So  interested  were  the  members  in  fitting 
their  1920  derbies  distributed  by  "Doc"  Speare 
(recently  promoted  to  Federal  Probation  Officer 
in  this  area)  that  some  overlooked  signing  the 
guest  list.  Those  too  busy  renewing  old  friend- 
ships to  sign  up,  please  send  in  word  of  your 
presence. 

Special  appreciation  was  expressed  by  all  to 
the  Faculty  host  Professor  Manning  Smith  who 
was  a  real  liaison  between  the  University  and 
class  members.

CLASS  RE 


CLASS   OF    1925 


There  was  no  doubt  in  anyone's  mind,  as  an 
alumnus  approached  the  campus,  that  the  Class 
of  1925  was  celebrating  its  30th  reunion.  Every- 
where were  signs  and  banners  which  revealed 
the  spirit  of  '25  had  not  been  dimmed  by  age 
but  had  assumed  greater  proportions.  With 
more  than  fifty  classmates  registering  and  don- 
ning appropriate  badges,  it  was  easy  to  identify 
our  crowd.  On  every  side  were  exclamations 
of,  "There's  a  30th  Reunioner." 

The  weather  could  not  dampen  the  spirit  of 
our  classmates  and  at  the  business  meeting  held 
in  the  Ellen  Clarke  Bertrand  Library,  many 
valuable  suggestions  were  offered  for  the  good 
of  the  Class  and  Bucknell.  Dr.  Clair  Spangler, 
our  president,  led  the  meeting  and  a  hearty 
welcome  was  extended  to  all  members  of  the 
Class  as  well  as  to  husbands,  wives  and  friends. 
The  first  business  was  the  election  of  officers 
for  the  ensuing  years  until  our  3Sth  reunion. 
With  a  great  deal  of  reluctance,  the  Class  al- 
lowed the  present  chairman  to  step  down  from 
his  enthusiastic  and  efficient  leadership.  The 
following  were  elected :  president,  Francis  Has- 
kett ;  vice  president,  Phoebe  Reinhart ;  secre- 
tary, Mary  Schilling  Berg;  treasurer,  Harold 
F.  Roles ;  class  fund  manager,  Myron  F.  Deck- 
er ;  reporter,  Mildred  Francisco  Hopper ;  re- 
union chairman.  Dr.  Clair  G.  Spangler.

The  luncheon  at  the  Davis  Gym,  attended  by 
over  1,100  Bucknellians  who  returned  for  com- 
mencement weekend,  was  most  inspiring.  To 
hear  President  Odgers  outline  some  of  the  fu- 
ture plans  was  very  gratifying. 

At  four  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  we  gathered 
in  the  Stephens  House  for  a  social  hour  with 
Phoebe  Reinhart  as  hostess.  It  was  a  grand 
way  to  meet  all  our  old  friends,  make  new  ones 
and  discuss  everything  that  happened  during 
the  past  thirty  years. 

Dr.  Spangler  expressed  his  thanks  to  the  more 
than  forty  classmates  who  assisted  with  the 
reunion  planning.  The  special  thanks  of  the 
Class  go  to  Dr.  Spangler,  president;  Edwin  J. 
Davies,  editor ;  John  E.  Namisniak,  assistant 
editor;  and  Frances  M.  Davis,  staff  artist;  for 
their  work  in  producing  the  Thirtieth  Reunion 
Book  complete  with  pictures.  Anyone  desiring 
a  copy  of  this  interesting  biographical  record 
may  send  $2.00  to  John  H.  Shott,  Alumni  Office 
for  a  copy. 

All  in  all,  it  was  a  wonderful  day  and  to  those 
who  could  not  be  present,  we  can  only  say 
you  missed  a  thrilling  event  of  the  Qass  of 
1925.  Better  mark  your  calendar  for  our  35th 
reunion  in  1960.

Secretary 


CLASS   OF    1930 


The  Class  of  1930  had  one  of  the  finest  class 
reunions  in  the  history  of  Bucknell  University. 
Saturday  morning,  June  11,  started  off  with  a 
class  meeting  conducted  by  George  "OUie" 
Wagner,  chairman  of  the  reunion,  assisted  by 
Dr.  Albert  Pierce,  Faculty  host  for  the  Class 
of   1930. 

The  first  order  of  business  was  the  disposi- 
tion of  the  Memorial  Reserve  Fund  of  $831.61 
from  our  class.  It  was  duly  voted  that  the  ibove 
amount  be  combined  with  the  class  fund  being 
presented  to  the  University  from  the  Class  of 
1930.  We  were  very  proud  at  the  All-Al  .mni 
Luncheon  to  hear  that  the  Class  of  1930';  re- 
union gift  to  Bucknell  University  was  $1,&  5. 

Since  it  is  customary  at  Bucknell  tO'  choose 
a  new  slate  of  officers  every  five  years,  the 
following  officers  were  elected :' George  "CUie" 
Wagner,  president ;  Francis  "Mush"  Moei  sch- 
bacher,  vice  president;  Sally  Bailey  Jones, 
treasurer ;  Art  Shorts,  class  fund  manager ;  and 
yours  truly,  Emmalyn  Fuller  Klosterman,  sec- 
retary and  class  reporter. 

Francis  Moerschbacher  worked  hard  and  long 
on  a  very  clever  and  interesting  Silver  Anni-

CLASS   OF    1935 

The  Class  of  1935  had  a  good  turn  out  for 
its  20th  reunion.  Forty-one  class  members, 
plus  families  and  friends  were  present  at  the 
Alumni  luncheon  held  in  the  Davis  Gymnasium 
on  Saturday,  June  11th.  Several  late-con  ers 
showed  up  at  the  class  reception  in  the  afer- 
noon,  and  the  Thompson  brothers,  Bob  and 
Jack,  had  to  leave  early  Saturday  morning  to 
attend  a  family  wedding.  Bob  and  his  wife,  the 
former  Marge  Dirlim,  had  flown  up  from 
Ocala,  Florida  for  the  occasion.  Our  class  re- 
ceived the  distinction  for  having  the  Buckr  el- 
lian  present  who  had  traveled  the  greatest  cis- 
tance.  Peg  Weddell  Peters  had  come  all  .he 
way  from  Johannesburg,  South  Africa. 

A  business  meeting  was  held  Saturday  morn- 
ing. At  this  time,  officers  were  elected,  and  ihe 
class  picture  was  taken.    Bill  Berlin  was  elect-

tr,-  Club  for  a  good  "gab-fast"  and  a  nice  din- 
ntr  party  with  dancing,  extemporaneous

CLASS   OF    1940 


To  those  who  did  not  attend  the  reunion, 
all  we  can  say  is  "You'll  be  sorry!"  Just  check 
with  anyone  who  did  and  you'll  find  out  wliat 
we  mean.  Next  to  being  back  as  a  student,  it 
was  about  as  close  to  college  days  as  you  can 
get.  Even  bull  sessions  in  the  dorm,  with  one 
conver.sation  per  two  people.  Our  Class  was 
billeted  on  tliird  floor  of  Larison  Hall,  all  by 
itself — another  class  wouldn't  have  stood  a 
chance.  And,  as  one  male  alum  commented, 
"I  never  thought  I'd  live  to  see  tlie  day  when 
I'd  be  rooming  in  Larison  Mall." 

At  our  last  reunion  we  had  a'jout  twenty  at- 
tending. At  the  last  count  about  noon  Satur- 
day of  this  Reunion  Weekend  there  were  67 
registered.  It's  evident  that  the  work  done  by 
the  committees  under  the  direction  of  Hiuk 
Sliott  was  considerable  and  it  jiaid  olT.  On

ourselves  .so  thoroughly,  our  einphalir  thanks. 
F.s|>erially  to  be  thanked  are  Jimmy  Durhine,

CLASS   OF    1945 


Those  of  you  who  missed  the  reunion,  missed 
a  marvelous  weekend  in  spite  of  a  rainy  Satur- 
day! The  campus  has  certainly  grown  impres- 
sively and  from  all  reports  will  continue  to  do 
so.  The  new  buildings  are  beautiful  and  the 
changes  made  in  the  buildings  we  knew  is 
unbelievable. 

The  class  met  on  Saturday  morning  in  the 
Vaughan  Literature  Building.  Nancy  Patter- 
son Moyer  opened  the  meeting  by  introducing 
Dr.  and  Mrs.  John  W.  Rice  as  our  faculty  host 
and  hostess.  The  class  picture  was  taken  and 
hats  were  distributed  for  class  identification. 
The  Reunion  Book,  written  by  Lois  Depuy 
Boston  and  Helen  Wythes  Naimark  with  the 
cover  illustrations  by  Jean  Williams  Wieder- 
spahn,  was  distributed.  Those  of  you  who 
missed  the  reunion,  can  obtain  your  biographi- 
cal history  of  your  class  members  by  writing 
to  Mr.  Shott  at  the  Alumni  Office  and  sending 
a  dollar. 

Class  officers  were  elected  as  follows :  presi- 


dent, Betsy  Richers  Richardson;  vice  president, 
Nancy  Patterson  Moyer ;  secretary,  Bill  Web-

fund  manager.  Bill  Bond  (please  support  him 
and  our  class!);  and  class  reporter,  Nancy 
Woehling  Moore    (always  need  news!). 

After  our  meeting  adjourned,  the  class  at- 
tended the  laying  of  the  cornerstone  of  the 
F.  W.  Olin  Science  Building  and  then  on  to 
the  Alumni  Luncheon  in  the  Davis  Gym  where 
we  sat  as  a  class.  At  three  o'clock,  the  class 
met  for  a  social  hour  at  Hully  House  where 
Elsie  Wilson  Young  served  punch  and  cookies. 
Needless  to  say,  the  Class  of  '45  didn't  lack 
conversation ! 

At  nine  o'clock  most  of  us  attended  the  Re- 
union Jamboree  at  the  Davis  Gym.  Here  we 
saw  and  heard  what  Cap  and  Dagger  has  been 
doing — a  good  job. 

All  in  all  it  was  a  marvelous  time.

CLASS   OF    1950 


The  Class  of  1950  had  a  rousing  fifth  reunion. 
Approximately  thirty  loyal  souls  attended  the 
class  meetings  where  our  faculty  host.  Dr.  W. 
Preston  Warren,  welcomed  us  on  behalf  of  the 
University.  Professor  Souders,  who  received 
his  master's  degree  with  the  Class  of  1950,  also 
expressed  his  best  wishes. 

The  first  piece  of  business  of  the  class  meet- 
ing was  the  election  of  class  officers.  The  re- 
sults were  as  follows :  president,  Pete  Weiden- 
bacher;  vice  president,  Bill  Bucher;  secretary-

treasurer,  Bob  Clancy;  class  fund  manager, 
Jean  McDonald  Conklin;  class  reporter,  Jane 
Kreider  Miller;  and  reunion  chairman  for  1960, 
Jack  Evans. 

The  class  then  took  action  on  two  resolu- 
tions, the  first  of  which  was  to  commend  Jane 
Kreider  Miller  for  her  excellent  job  in  the 
preparation  of  our  reunion  book  of  "Who's 
Who  in  the  Class  of  '50." 

The  second  resolution  was  one  of  commenda- 
tion of  our  protem  Master  of  Ceremonies,  Peter 


CLASS  RE 


Weidenbacher,  in  taking  charge  of  this  session 
upon  short  notice  and  in  handling  the  business 
like  a  master. 

Letters  were  read  from  several  class  mem- 
bers who  expressed  regret  in  not  being  able  to 
be  with  us  upon  tliis  memorable  occasion. 

After  the  meeting  we  adjourned  to  Davis 
Gym  for  a  delightful  Imicheon.  At  Davis  Gym- 
nasium, we  enjoyed  an  excellent  presentation 
of  the  University's  activities  during  the  past  year 
and  a  forward  look  to  its  future. 

The  Class  of  1950  held  its  social  gathering 
at  the  Hotel  Lewisburger,  where  to  the  accom- 
paniment of  that  fine  accordionist,  John  Linetty, 
it  was  proven  that  we  had  not  lost  the  close 
harmony  that  was  always  symbolic  of  the  Class 
of  1950. 

Those  present  in  the  opinion  of  your  secre- 
tary showed  little  if  any  change  in  looks.  Here 
and  there,  evidences  of  married  life — cute  p.ho-

CLASS   OF    1954 


Wading  through  the  inevitable  rain  puddles, 
about  forty  members  of  the  Class  of  1954  met 
in  the  reading  room  of  the  Bertrand  Library 
— a  most  familiar  spot  to  all  of  us. 

The  meeting  was  called  to  order  by  our  Class 
Alumni  President  Marty  Carhart,  after  which 
he  introduced  our  faculty  host.  Dean  Mary 
Jane  Stevenson.  We  were  all  honored  and 
pleased  to  have  her  vidth  us,  although  she  left 
us  briefly  trying  to  locate  our  misplaced  Reunion 
Books ! 

Among  the  lost  things,  such  as  Reunion 
Books  and  sunshine,  we  had  a  few  alumni  names 
— those  of  our  Class  who  left  for  parts  un- 
known. We  found  some  of  them,  but  the 
rest  shall  have  to  remain  "unaddressed."  The 
moral  of  this  story  is:  to  avoid  the  Lost  List, 
send  your  address  to  Buck  Shott  when  you 
move.  Seriously,  don't  get  lost,  help  us  I:eep 
in  touch  with  you. 

The   remaining  meeting  time  was   spent  dis- 
cussing our  part  in  the  alumni   fund  program. 
Being  one-year-old   alumni,   we  knew  little  of

Bucknellians  rejoice  that  among  the 
eleven  fliers  recently  released  by  the  Chi- 
nese Reds  was  our  own  Major  ^^'illiam

the  purpose  and  process  of  giving  to  the  fund. 
When  we  learned  that  the  number  of  contribu- 
tors— not  the  amount — helps  establish  the  size 
of  coriKjratc  gifts  to  the  University  we  deter- 
mined to  bofjst  our  "number  of  givers"  record 
this  year  and  we  hope  each  of  you  will  help. 
We  will  have  four  years  until  our  next  reunion, 
and  it  was  suggested  that  through  card  parties, 
socials,  and  small  area  get-togethers,  we  could 
ktcp  our  Buckncll  memories  alive.  Thus,  at 
our  next  reunion,  the  gang  could  be  larger  and 
the  contribution  greater. 

I'"ollowing  our  suggestion  of  social  gather- 
ing.s,  the  Oass  of  19S4  met  Saturday  afternoon 
at  the  Hotel  Milton.  Chatter  and  laughter  ran 
high;  old  friendships  were  renewed.  Now  wc 
have  one  big  wish— that  you  will  l)C  with  us

Commencement  Weekend  to  the  class  of  '55 
seemed  like  just  a  few  short  hours  consum- 
mating four  short  but  happy  j-ears  at  Bucknell. 
It  naturallj'  began  with  a  rainy  morning  for  our 
first  alumni  meeting  in  which  we  discussed  plans 
for  the  weekend  and  the  coming  year. 

Braving  the  rain,  we  attended  the  corner- 
stone laying  of  the  new  F.  W.  Olin  Science 
Building  for  which  the  ground  had  been  broken 
just  one  year  previous.  Walking  through  this 
handsome  addition  to  our  campus  we  took  pride 
in  the  progress  of  our  University. 

Since  the  rain  prevented  the  usual  parade  of 
classes  to  the  AU-AIumni  Luncheon,  we  went 
directly  to  the  luncheon  which  was  attended  by 
a  capacity  crowd.  There  we  met  many  of  our 
old  friends  and  heard  the  latest  news  from  all 
of  them. 

Saturday  night  the  fraternity  symposia  and 
the  Jamboree,  which  featured  dancing  and 
scenes  from  "Carousel"  and  "Mr.  Roberts,"  of- 
fered plenty  of  lively  entertainment  for  all. 

With  our  parents  we  attended  the  president's 
reception  Sunday  afternoon  in  Himt  Hall  where 
we  were  serenaded  by  the  Bucknell  Band  and 
enjoyed  socializing  with  the  rest  of  our  class- 
mates. 

The  rain  was  kind  to  us  Sunday  night  and 
allowed  us  to  march  from  the  Vaughan  Litera- 
ture Building  to  the  Davis  Gym  for  our  Bac- 


calaureate Service,  after  which  the  women  were 
granted  the  first  symbol  of  their  graduation, 
permission  to  stay  out  all  night. 

The  sun  shone  brightly  when  the  great  morn- 
ing arrived ;  we  marched  to  the  Commencement 
exercises  and  received  our  coveted  diplomas  with 
mixed  emotions,  glad  that  the  struggle  was  over, 
yet  sad  to  leave  our  friends  and  Bucknell.  The 
lawns  became  covered  with  photographer's  sub- 
jects, but  the  crowd  soon  dispersed  and  every- 
one was  homeward  bound  with  four  years  of 
happy  memories.

and  mathematics. 

Dr.  John  C.  Warner,  president  of  Car- 
negie Institute  of  Technology  and  president

representatives  from  both  industrial  and  edu- 
cational institutions,  and  the  University  will 
honor  the  following  outstaaiding  teachers 
from  six  of  the  nation's  leading  universities  : 
Dr.  John  C.  Warner,  president,  Carnegie  In-

Dad's  Day — Dormitory  Dedication 

A  feature  of  Dad's  Day,  Saturday,  Octo- 
ber 15,  will  be  the  dedication  of  the  James 
S.  Swartz  Hall,  the  University's  new  dor- 
mitory and  dining  hall  for  men.  The  230- 
man  living  unit  will  be  named  for  Dr.  James 
S.  Swartz,  long-time  Trustee  Board  Chair- 
man. Through  the  gift  of  land  in  Virginia 
to  Bucknell,  he  became  the  donor  of  over  a 
million  dollars  in  endov/ment  funds. 

The  17th  Annual  Dad's  Day  will  also  in- 
clude all  the  traditional  characteristics  of 
past  celebrations.  First  of  all,  Mothers  are 
cordially  invited  to  make  the  occasion  a 
Bucknell  Family  affair.  The  football  game 
with  Temple  for  possession  of  the  Old  Shoe

in  its  full  Fall  glory.  The  University  and 
her  student  body  are  looking  forward  to 
welcoming  over  a  thousand  parents  to  the 
campus  on  October  14,  IS  and  16,  1955. 


Welcotne  Senior  Class  of  1956.

General  Alumni  Association  in  order

gram and  activities. 


ALUMNI  REUNIONS 

(Continued  from  Page  U) 
Another  feature  of  the  luncheon  was  the 
address  by  President  Merle  M.  Odgers  in 
which  he  expressed  his  pride  in  the  accom- 
plishments of  the  University  and  his  confi- 
dence in  its  future.  In  addition  to  the  F.  W. 
Olin  Science  Building,  he  noted  improve- 
ments to  Bucknell's  physical  plant,  and  the 
new  James  S.  Swartz  Dormitory  and  dining 
hall  for  freslimen  both  of  wliich  will  be 
completed  and  open  for  use  in  September. 
Appreciation  for  the  contributions  of  more 
than  $30,000  from  Alumni  through  the  Buck- 
nell Aluirmi  Fund  was  expressed  by  Presi- 
dent Odgers  who  stated  that  the  University 
would  once  again  complete  its  fiscal  year 
without  a  deficit.  Gifts,  grants,  and  sub- 
scriptions to  Bucknell  during  the  past  calen- 
dar year  were  higher  than  ever  and  totaled 
more  than  $1,500,000.  Two  members  of  the 
faculty  given  special  tribute  by  Dr.  Odgers 
were  Dr.  Frank  G.  Davis  '11,  M.A.  '17  and 
Dr.  Norman  H.  Stewart  who  are  retiring 
after  many  years  of  service  to  the  Univer- 
sity. Tribute  was  paid  to  Dr.  Dayton  L. 
Ranck  '16,  M.A.  '34,  Doctor  of  Laws  '51,  who 
has  retired  as  Treasurer  but  who  will  con- 
tinue to  serve  the  University  as  vice  presi- 
dent and  director  of  development. 

Trustees  Named 

Three  of  the  four  trustees  elected  to  the 
Board  of  the  University  were  Bucknell 
Alumni.  Rowland  H.  Coleman  '29,  Fair- 
field, Conn.,  was  among  those  named.  He  is 
the  son  of  Dr.  William  H.  Coleman,  vice 
president  and  dean  of  Bucknell  and  Mrs. 
ColemaiL  Presently  he  is  vice  president  and 
assistant  general  manager  of  the  Remington 
Arms  Company,  Inc.  Hugo  Riemer,  Esq. 
'29,  Summit,  New  Jersey  was  elected  to  the 
board.  He  is  the  president  of  the  Nitrogen 
Division  of  the  Allied  Chemical  and  Dye 
Corporation.  Charles  E.  Wilson,  New  York, 
also  was  named  a  trustee.  He  is  the  chair- 
man of  the  board  of  the  W.  R.  Grace  Com- 
pany. Formerly  he  was  president  of  the 
General  Electric  Company. 

Alumni  Trustee  on  the  Board  of  Trustees 
is  FrankUn  D.  Jones  '19,  D.Sc.  '46,  who  was 
chosen  for  this  position  by  nation-wide  Alum- 
ni balloting.  Dr.  Jones,  Ardmore,  is  con- 
sulting chemist  on  the  staff  of  General  In- 
dustries, Inc.  He  has  been  an  active  member 
of  the  Alumni  Association,  past  treasurer  of 
the  Pliiladelphia  Alumni  Association  and 
serves  as  president  of  the  Class  of  1919. 

At  the  June  11  meeting  of  the  Bucknell 
University  Board  of  Trustees,  announcement 
was  made  that  two  trustees  will  donate  a 
swimming  pool  to  be  constructed  as  a  unit 
to  the  Davis  Gymnasium.  Robert  L.  Rooke 
'13,  Doctor  of  Laws  '51.  Newark,  N.  J.,  and 
Alfred  G.  Freas,  Tenafly,  N.  J.,  are  the 
trustees  who  are  providing  the  funds. 

The  new  freshman  dormitory  for  men 
will  be  named  to  honor  the  late  Dr.  John 
S.  Swartz.  Dr.  Swartz,  a  prominent  Phil- 
adelphian  who  died  in  1931,  had  been  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Bucknell  Board  of  Trustees  for 
47  years  and  the  chairman  for  14  years. 
Proceeds  from  his  gifts  of  real  estate  to 
the  University  have  totaled  over  a  million 
dollars. 

Association  Officers  Elected 

At  the  business  meeting  of  The  General 
Alumni  Association  held  on  Saturday  morn- 
ing, William  S.  Liming  '33  was  elected  pres- 
ident to  serve  until  June  1956.  Wilmer  P. 
Greulich  '34  and  Mrs.  John  A.  Rhodes 
(Helen  Bodine  '20)  were  named  first  vice 
president  and  second  vice  president  respec- 
tively. Donald  B.  Young  '33,  the  new  trea- 
surer of  the  University,  became  treasurer  of 


The  General  Alumni  Association  under  the 
By-Law  provisions  of  the  Association. 

Five  members  of  the  Board  of  Directors 
of  The  General  Alumni  Association  were 
elected  by  the  96  delegates  from  the  33 
Alumni  Clubs  represented  at  the  Annual 
Assembly  as  follows :  Dr.  Merrill  B.  De- 
Wire  '21,  Reading;  William  J.  Irvin  '22, 
Trenton,  N.  J. ;  William  S.  Liming  '33,  East 
Williston,  N.  Y. ;  C.  Martin  Neff  '42,  Red 
Lion  and  Mrs.  John  A.  Rhodes  (Helen  E. 
Bodine  '20),  Pittsburgh. 

The  Assembly  also  approved  a  complete 
revision  of  the  By-Laws  to  bring  that  docu- 
ment up-to-date.  Chief  change  in  the  By- 
Laws  provides  for  the  election  of  three  di- 
rectors annually  to  serve  for  five-year  terms 
instead  of  the  election  of  five  directors  an- 
nually for  three-year  terms,  as  at  present 
provided.  Alumni  officers  have  been  pro- 
vided with  a  copy  of  the  revised  Constitution 
and  By-Laws.  Additional  copies  are  avail- 
able tO'  any  Alumnus  upon  request  to  Alumni 
Headquarters. 

Bison  Club  Shifts  Goo! 

The  Bison  Club  breakfast  meeting  was 
another  feature  of  the  Saturday  morning 
events.  More  than  75  members  met  at  the 
Lewisburg  Club.  Jay  P.  Mathias  '35,  presi- 
dent of  the  club,  announced  a  new  policy  for 
the  disbursement  of  Bison  Club  funds.  Point- 
ing out  that  contributions  now  made  to  the 
Bison  Club  have  been  used  to  reimburse  the 
University  in  part  for  tuition  scholarships, 
he  reported  that  the  Board  of  Trustees  will 
henceforth  permit  tlie  Bison  Club  to  accumu- 
late contributions  to  be  used  for  general  ath- 
letic aid.  The  immediate  goal  of  the  Bison 
Club  will  be  to  assume  responsibility  of  pro- 
viding board  jobs  for  entering  freshmen  on 
athletic  teams.  It  was  explained  that  the  con- 
tributions of  the  Bison  Club  will,  as  in  the 
past,  be  paid  to  the  University  and  will  be  ad- 
ministered as  a  regular  item  of  the  depart- 
ment of  athletics  and  physical  education 
budget.  It  was  pointed  out  further  that  Bison 
Club  fund  raising  will  not  interfere  with  the 
Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  Program,  and  it  is 
hoped  that  Alumni  will  consider  the  Alumni 
Annual-Giving  Fund  as  a  first  obligation. 

Re-elected  president  for  a  two-year  term 
was  Jay  P.  Mathias  '35.  Thomas  Speck  '37 
was  elected  first  vice  president ;  Joseph  D. 
Dent  '20,  second  vice  president ;  Frank  Wils- 
bach  '28,  third  vice  president ;  John  H.

"PRESEXT  WORTH"  is  the  title  of  a 
poem  from  the  pen  of  Dr.  John  I.  Wood- 
rufi'  '90,   beloved  and  revered  educator. 

Way  back  in  teen-hood  arithmetic 
We  did  a  task  named  "present  worth." 

"What  can  this  mean  to  me."  I  thought. 
"When  other  folks  possess  the  earth?" 

I  tugged  and  wriggled  at  the  thongs 
That  held  my  cribbed,  aspiring  mind. 

I  longed  and  longed,  mid  daily  toil, 
To  cast  my  lot  with  adult  kind. 

The  worth  then  present  I  failed  to  see: 
The  rising  sun.  the  brimming  morn, 

The  distant  thundering  cataract. 
The  hunter  with  his  elfln  horn. 

I  pity  now  what  I  was  then: 

I  pitied  then  what  I  am  now. 
But  all  in  all  life  still  is  good 

To  him  that  keeps  his  holiest  vow. 

Mrs.  George  R.  Bigler  (Harriet  Wal- 
ter '93)  died  in  Richmond,  Va.,  March  19. 
She  is  survived  by  her  husband,  a  daugh- 
ter, Mrs.  Lemuel  Holt  Vaughan,  and  two

MRS.    AUONZO    MARTIN 

The  lati-^t  adventure  lor  Mrs.  Alonzo 
Martin  (Oriana  Williams  I  '93)  was  teach- 
ing in  one  of  the  isolated  regions  of  Hell's 
Canyon.  On  a  shelf  of  the  canyon  about 
2000  feet  above  the  Snake  River  is  a  lush 
meadow  called  Wildhorse.  During  the 
winter  the  people  are  practically  shut  off 
from  the  rest  of  the  world. 

The  Emery  family  was  the  last  to  re- 
main in  the  meadow.  They  have  four 
boys.  In  1951,  after  Mrs.  Emery's  death, 
Mr.  Emery  hired  Oriana  to  come  and  live 
In  their  home  and  teach  his  boys.  In  1952 
she  was  unable  to  return,  but  in  1953  she 
again  resumed  her  duties  of  teaching  the 
boys.  In  the  evenings  she  mended  the 
boys'  socks  and  shirts  while  she  super- 
vised the  two  older  boys  who  were  takinK 
High  School  courses.  The  most  interest 
ing  projects  were  the  school  programs  on 
Thanksgiving,  Christmas,  Easter  and  the 
last  day  of  school.  The  program  consisted 
of  songs  and  poems  all  composed  by  the 
teacher,  Oriana  has  now  retired.  .She  has 
four  small  volumes  of  her  poems,  all  out 
of  print,  all  beginning  to  be  treasured  by

those     who     have     them     as     "collector's 
items." 

The  Emeritus  Club  will  be  saddened  to 
learn  of  the  death  of  Reverend  John  Wil- 
liam Neyman  '99  in  Iowa  during  the  past 
winter.

death,  on  June  18,  of  Reese  H.  Harris. 
Admiration  for  the  brilliance  of  his  mind 
and  his  fine  character  will  always  be  held 
for  the  youngest  member  of  1903,  by  his 
classmates.  (See  page  24).

The  New  York  Times  recently  aniiounciil 
the  retirement  of  Marc  L.  Baldwin  fir 
thirty-three  years  h<-a(l  of  llir  di-partMienl 
of  Latin  at  the  Kiverdale  Country  School 
for  FJoys. 


Mr.  Baldwin  entered  Bucknell  from 
what  was  then  Broaddus  Institute,  to  be- 
come a  member  of  the  Class  of  1911.  An 
omnivorous  reader,  he  became  one  of  the 
most  brilliant  students  ever  to  be  at  Buck- 
nell. Specializing  in  classics  and  modern 
languages,  he  followed  graduation  by 
study  at  various  universities  and  travel 
abroad.  After  teaching  for  some  time  at 
Mercersburg  Acadeni}',  he  returned  to  his 
Alma  Mater  as  instructor  in  modern  lan- 
guages in  1914,  and  remained  until  1918. 
After  a  short  time  at  the  Hill  School,  he 
accepted  a  position  at  Riverdale,  where  he 
has  since  been  active  as  one  of  the  most 
highly  respected  masters. 

His  wife,  the  former  Cecil  Childs  '12, 
has  also  taught  at  the  Riverdale  school. 
The  two  are  among  the  graduates  of 
whom   Bucknell   maj'   well  be   proud. 

I  was  grieved  to  hear  of  the  death  of 
George  W.  Hawk,  M.D.,  of  Sayre  on 
June  9,  after  an  illness  of  several  weeks. 
His  age  was  sixty-nine. 

He  was  the  chief  surgeon  of  the  Lehigh 
Valley  Railroad  and  the  president-elect 
of  the  Medical  Society  of  Pennsylvania. 
He  had  been  a  pioneer  in  the  field  of  can- 
cer research.  Ironically  enough,  the  dis- 
ease he  devoted  a  lifetime  to  combat  took 
his  own  life  at  the  ape.x  of  his  career.  Be- 
fore his  death  Dr,  Hawk  was  the  associate 
and  assistant  of  Dr.  Donald  Guthrie  at 
the  Guthrie  Clinic  and  Robert  Packer 
Hospital,  Sayre.  He  served  the  hospital 
since  1911. 

Survivors  include  his  widow  and  a  son. 
Dr.  William  Hawk,  Cleveland,  Ohio,  and 
two  sisters,  Miss  Charlotte  Hawk  '08  and 
Mrs.  Robert  Phillips,  both  of  Tower  City. 

We  of  the  Bucknell  family  will  indeed 
miss  him  for  he  was  not  only  dedicated 
to  Hippocrates,  but  also  to  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity.

Our  deepest  sympathy  to  the  family  of 
Frank  Herman  Fritz,  who  passed  away 
on  June  9  at  his  home  in  Chester,  at  the 
age  of  seventy-three. 

Professor  Fritz  was  the  retired  super- 
intendent of  the  Chester  schools  and  for 
some  time  was  dean  of  boys  at  the  Pen- 
nington School  in  New  Jersey.  He  was 
later  appointed  superintendent  of  the 
Pottstown  school  district.  He  was  well 
known  as  an  educator  and  administrator 
in  the  East  and  was  a  Chester  civic  and 
political  leader. 

He  is  survived  by  his  wife,  Marjorie 
Ladd  Fritz;  two  sons,  F.  Herman,  Jr., 
Akron,  Ohio,  and  Charles  Ladd  Fritz, 
Springfield,    and    three    grandchildren. 

At  the  annual  dinner-meeting  of  the

Muncy,  Pa. 


Attended  the  buffet  supper,  Friday,  June 
10,  at  the  University  Cafeteria.  All  fund 
managers,  class  reporters  and  class  presi- 
dents were  gnests.  Had  a  nice  chat  with 
Mildred  Gathers  '10,  Ethel  Watkins  '10, 
Mrs.  Palmer  Way  (Sara  Ray  'lO,  Kath- 
erine  Bailey  Hoffman  '10  and  Paul  Abra- 
ham '10— all  back  for  their  45th  reunion. 
Mrs.  William  English  (Margaret  Gret- 
zinger  '15)  was  there,  too,  celebrating  her 
40th. 

I  told  you  in  my  last  report  that  I  was 
acquiring  a  new  daughter.  My  son  Bill 
and  Elizabeth  Dahl,  Camp  Hill,  were 
married  June  25,  in  the  Pine  Street  Pres- 
byterian Church.  A  very  beautiful  wed- 
ding! I  can  vouch  for  it  because  I  had  no 
say  in  the  affair  only  to  hand  over  the 
groom.  My  orders  from  Bill  were  that  it 
would  give  me  a  chance  to  get  a  new  dress, 
hat  and  corset.  I  managed  to  get  all  three, 
so  together  with  a  corsage  completed  my 
ensemble.  Pop  had  a  new  suit,  also  a 
boutonniere.  Then  we  proudly  strutted 
down  the  aisle. 

Had  a  card  from  Alberta  Bronson  Con- 
ner and  Patty  Conner.  They  were  visit- 
ing a  son  and  daughter  in  Houston.  On 
their  way  down  they  visited  Jennie  Fox 
Lea  '11  in  Knoxsville. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  J.  Thomas  Montgomery, 
Swarthmore,  announce  the  birth  of  a 
daughter,  Leslie.  Mrs.  Montgomery  is  the 
former  Janice  Igler,  Fred's  daughter. 

Sue  Weddell  received  the  degree  of  Doc- 
tor of  Humanities  at  Commencement. 
We're  proud  of  Sue  and  glad  that  she 
belongs  to  us.  The  rest  of  us  girls  will 
have  to  display  our  honorary  achievements 
by  belonging  to  the  diaper  brigade,  the 
burp  club,  baby  sitters  and  adding  charms 
to  our  grandmother's  bracelets. 

Pop  had  too  much  wedding  festivities 
— he  has  the  "gout."  The  Doctor  said  he 
must  diet,  so  I'm  slimming  him  down. 
The  payoff,  as  misery  loves  company,  he 
informed  me  I  was  much  too  heavy,  and  it 
wouldn't  hurt  me  to  go  on  the  same  diet. 
Some  nerve;  after  36  years  to  talk  about 
my  bulges.  Anyway,  fellows  watch  your 
waist  lines,  the  gout  is  very  painful  and 
Pop's  disposition  is  beyond  repair. 

In  looking  over  this  report,  I  haven't 
done  much  but  toot  my  own  horn — but 
as  we  go  to  press,  I'll  give  you  another 
toot  to  announce  a  new  grandson,  David 
Steck,  just  2  weeks  old. 

Stanley  P.  Davies,  general  director  of 
the  Community  Service  Society,  has  de- 
scribed its  new  project,  a  three  year  study 
of  what  constitutes  a  good  old  age,  as  "the 
most  thorough  going  study  of  its  kind 
yet  undertaken  of  problems  with  growing 
old."

The  testimonial  for  Rev.  Richard  Bowl- 
ing in  Norfolk,  Va.,  following  his  retire- 
ment was  a  noteworthy  occasion.  A  quo- 
tation about  the  event  follows:  "The 
crowd  comfortably  filled  both  the  upper 
and  lower  auditoriums.  Parking  lots  and 
streets  for  blocks  around  were  crowded. 
Telegrams  and  letters  were  publicly  ac- 
knowledged from  fellow  classmates  at 
Bucknell  University  and  from  fellow  min- 
isters and  public  workers  all  over  the 
eastern  seaboard.  An  offering  of  $1,400 
was  presented  to  the  honoree.  The  Dor- 
cas Class  presented  a  large  portrait  pho- 

18 


tograph  of  the  Pastor  Emeritus  to  be 
hung  in  the  church  office.  An  engraved

Simms,  the  present  Pastor,  and  the  officers 
of  the  church."

ing graduation,  for  three  years  he  taught 
languages  in  the  Miami  Military  Inst., 
Germantown,  Ohio,  and  for  thirty-nine 
jfcars  in  Shamokin.  For  the  present  he 
will    continue   residence   in    Shamokin. 

Congratulations  from  all  classmates  to

MRS.  H.  B.  WEAVER 
348  Ridge  Avenue 
New  Kensington,  Pa. 


Our  thanks  is  due  to  Edna  Whittam 
Glover  for  asking  Sammy  Markowitz  to 
recount  for  us  the  highlights  of  an  inter- 
esting trip  that  he  and  Mrs.  Markowitz 
made  last  summer.     His  letter  follows: 

"I  went  to  Mexico  in  1954  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Jewish  Statistical  Bureau 
in  connection  with  the  300th  Anniversary 
of  the  arrival  of  Jews  in  America. 

"There  is  in  Mexico  City  a  Synagogue 
whose  members  are  what  is  known  as  In- 
dian Jews — and  they  look  it.  They  are 
tall,  copper-colored,  with  high  cheek 
bones,  and  generally  what  we  regard  as 
American  Indian  in  appearance. 

"The  largest  community  is  composed 
of  Arab  Jews  who  came  to  Mexico  from 
Damascus  in  1904-1906.  Greek  and  Turkish 
Jews  arrived  soon  after  World  War  I  and 


are  now  the  most  cultured  of  all.  German, 
Polish  and  Russian  Jews  are  there  as  a 
result  of  the  Hitler  episode. 

"Contrary  to  previous  impressions,  Mex- 
ico is  a  land  of  great  fertility.  In  spite 
of  the  mountainous  terrain,  crops  are 
grown  everywhere.  And  in  the  tropical 
areas  of  the  South  and  Southwest,  the 
lush    vegetation    is    strikingly    impressive. 

"Mexico  City  is  modern,  beautiful,  and 
unforgettable.  Its  Palace  of  fine  arts  is 
superior  to  anything  in  Philadelphia  or 
Chicago.  Its  Reforma  Boulevard  is  more 
impressive  than  the  Champs  Elysees  in  Paris. 

"We  went  to  a  bull  fight;  and  once  is 
enough.  The  same  can  be  said  of  the 
jai  alai  games.  Mexican  baseball  is  pat- 
terned after  ours;  even  the  slang  terms 
are  copied. 

"The  church  still  occupies  a  prominent 
place  in  the  affections  of  the  masses. 
Legally,  religion  is  state  controlled.  The 
government  owns  all  church  property  and 
permission  to  build  a  new  Synagogue  or 
church  is  required.  Actually,  there  is  not 
the  slightest  interference  with  religious 
practice  of  any  kind.  And  many  are  the 
church  festivals  and  feast  days;  and  at- 
tractively are  both  people  and  church 
adorned  on  such  occasions. 

"The  first  visit  is  always  an  introduc- 
tion. We  hope  to  return  and  spend  much 
more  time  there." 

The  Benjamin  Franklin  High  School  in 
upper  Manhattan  bestowed  the  Franklin 
Medal  for  Intercultural  Education  on  Dr. 
Rachel  Davis-DuBois.  The  award  was 
made  at  the  June  Commencement  exer- 
cises. 

Dr.  Davis-DuBois  has  contributed  more 
than  twenty  years  of  service  to  the  field 
of  human  relations.  She  has  been  a  pio- 
neer in  Intercultural  Education  throughout 
the  world.

My  old  friend  and  Lewisburg  High 
School  Classmate  (1913)  George  Bender 
came  through  promptly  with  an  answer  to 
my  letter  and  was  I  glad  to  hear  from 
him!  He  knows  what  it  is  to  gather  news 
and  so  wanted  to  co-operate.  He  severed 
his  banking  connections  a  few  years  ago 
and  returned  home  to  manage  his  family's 
business  "Martin's  House  of  Flowers." 
He  does  a  beautiful  job  too.  Be  sure  to 
go  in  and  see  him  when  you  go  back  to 
Lewisburg.  He  tells  me  he  still  maintains 
his  college  interest  in  the  theatre,  for 
which  he  gives  credit  to  Cap  and  Dagger 
and  the  beloved  Miss  Shillinger.  He  goes 
to  New  York  every  four  months  and  sees 
as  many  shows  as  time  permits.  On  the 
last  trip  he  had  dinner  with  Chet  Leaber 
'19  and  Evelyn  McGarm  Leaber  '18  and 
how  they  reminisced!  Said  he  felt  like 
"The  Man  Who  Came  to  Dinner"  as  he 
stayed  for  hours. 

"Jack"  and  Henrietta  Heinsling  Kriner 
have  had  a  wedding  in  their  family. 
Daughter  Sally  '50  was  married  June  11. 
Right  now  they  are  taking  it  easy  and 
resting  after  the  big  event.  Last  summer 
they  had  a  grand  trip  to  the  Northwest 
and'  Alaska  by  boat  and  then  followed 
the  Trail  of  '98  into  the  Yukon  and  re- 
turned through  Jasper  National  Park, 
Lakes  Louise  and  Banff.  They  look  for- 
ward to  attending  the  Bucknell-Harvard 
game  this  fall.  It's  grand  to  hear  from 
you  folks!  Write  again  soon,  won't  you? 
We  love  it!!

served  as  president  of  The  General  Alum- 
ni Association  in  1931  and  that  jear  was 
active  in  the  promotion  of  an  Alumni 
fund.  He  served  in  World  War  I.  AEF. 
In  1920  he  was  married  to  Dorothy  De- 
Witt  of  Muncy  who  died  some  years  ago. 
His  survivors  include  a  son,  G.  Grant,  Jr.; 
two  daughters.  Mrs.  Dorothy  Allen,  and 
Mrs.  Edith  Painter  Harrington  '43;  his 
mother.  Mrs.  Tames  Furlon  of  Philadel- 
phia, a  sister,  two  brothers,  and  three 
grandchildren. 

In  answer  to  my  request  for  news  about 
his  family,  Don  Fusia,  bless  him,  sent 
me  a  grand  letter.  Believe  me,  I  appre- 
ciate that  kind  of  co-operation.  Don  left 
Bucknell  to  attend  the  University  of  Pitts- 
burgh's School  of  Medicine,  but  when  war 
broke  out  he  enlisted  and  was  placed  in 
the  10th  Machine  Gun  Battalion  and 
served  29  months  overseas.  While  there 
he  was  able  to  spend  a  few  months  at 
the  Montpelier  School  of  Medicine.  He 
re-entered  Medical  School  in  1919  and 
was  graduated  in  1923.  He  still  resides 
in  Oakmont  where  he  established  general 
practice  in  1924.  In  1920  he  married 
Aileen  Larson  '18  and  they  have  five  sons. 
Donald  and  Joseph  are  physicians.  Jack, 
at  home.  Tom  '49  is  manager  of  a  Taren- 
tum  notion  chain,  Ed  '55  is  with  Gulf 
Oil  and  is  married  to  Patricia  White  '52, 
daughter  of  Hayden  White  '23.  Don  and 
.•\ileen  have  at  present  six  grandchildren, 
five  bo\-s  and  one  girl. 

All  of  Don's  boys  have  been  in  the 
service,  three  in  World  War  II  and  two 
in  Korea.  Don  himself  served  as  head  of 
Civilian  Defense  and  on  the  Draft  Board 
in  his  district.  He  is  attending  physician 
for  the  Harmarville  Convalescent  Home 
and  for  27  years  was  school  physician  and 
on  the  staff  of  St.  Margaret's  Hospital, 
Pittsburgh.  He  is  commander  of  the 
Oakmont  Yacht  Club  and  Past  Exalted 
Ruler  of  the  Elks.  He  has  a  summer 
home  at  Springfield  Beach,  Va.  to  which 
he  expects   to  retire   someday. 

What  a  life  of  service  to  his  country 
and  community  he  has  led  and  we  are 
proud  of  him!  By  the  way,  son  Ed  and 
wife  Pat  attended  our  Philadelphia  dance 
— almost  their  first  outing  after  their  last 
baby  was  born  and  they  won  one  of  our 
door  prizes,  a  large  can  of  competing  oil 
company's  product.  They  wouldn't  touch 
it  and  sure  caused  a  lot  of  fun. 

Right  here  I  want  to  say  a  fervent 
"Thank  you"  to  the  Alumni  for  the  very 
wonderful  thing  which  happened  to  nit 
on  Alumni  Day.  I  was  never  so  surprised 
in  my  life.  You'll  probably  read  about  it 
in  some  other  spot  in  this  issue,  so  I'll 
just  say,  I'm  very  appreciative,  humble, 
and  thankful  to  all  of  you  and  I'll  try 
very  hard  to  deserve  the  honor.  What  a 
bcautilul  chair  and  what  a  wonderful 
honor  to  come  to  me!  I'll  treasure  them 
all  my  life, 

Warner  M.  Galloway  died  in  I.cwisburg

Classmates  of  Lelia  E.  Bower  will  be 
interested  to  know  that  her  present  ad- 
dress is  Proctor  Star  Route,  Williams- 
port,  Pa. 

Rev.  and  Mrs.  Thomas  W.  Jones  '24 
(Hannah  Metcalf  '26)  recently  observed 
their  twenty-fifth  wedding  anniversary 
with  open  house  at  their  parsonage  in 
Wilkes-Barre,  Pa.  Tom  has  been  pastor 
of  the  Wilkes-Barre  Parsons  Primitive 
Methodist  Church  for  the  past  twenty 
years.  Classmates  will  recall  that  Tom 
and  Hannah  served  as  missionaries  in 
Guatemala,  Central  America  previous  to 
their  present  pastorate.  They  have  two 
daughters:  Mrs.  Clarence  J.  Thomas 
(Mary  Grace  '52),  Spanish  teacher  in  the 
Montoursville  Area  Joint  High  School, 
Montoursville,  Pa.,  and  Gwen  Elizabeth, 
a  music  student  in  her  junior  year  at

Randall  Newell  of  Harrisburg,  Pa.  was

Church. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  James  S.  Replogle  (Veta 
Davis  '27)  recently  spent  a  month  in  the 
Hawaiian  Islands.  They  enjoyed  the 
crossing  on  the  S.  S.  Lurline,  and  found 
the  city  of  Honolulu  and  Waikiki  Beach 
section  very  delightful.  The  climate  was 
all  that  could  be  asked.  Probably  the  most 
outstanding  impression  of  the  trip  was 
the  fact  that  all  the  people  on  the  Islands 
were  so  very  polite  and  courteous.  Re- 
turning, they  flew  from  Honolulu  to  San 
Francisco  via  Pan  American  Airlines  re- 
quiring 7-34  hours  actual  flying  time.  In- 
cidentally Neal  Blaisdell  is  the  Mayor  of 
Honolulu,  and  is  a  very  well  liked  and 
busy  man.  The  Replogles  reside  at  2820 
Bethel   Church   Road,   Pittsburgh   34,   Pa. 

The  June  issue  of  Holiday  Magazine  con- 
tains an  article  by  Kenneth  W.  Slifer  en- 
titled "It's  Easy  to  Camp  Across  Europe." 
Ken,  his  wife,  the  former  Caryl  Button  '27, 
son,  David,  daughter,  Diane  '54  and  her 
fiance  (now  husband),  Vic  Scott  '54,  toured 
Europe  in  the  summer  of  1953.  The  Sli- 
fers  took  their  station  wagon  and  camped 
out  most  of  the  time.  Ken  recommends 
this  method  of  travel  as  it  is  inexpensive 


and  is  the  best  way  to  become  acquainted 
with  the  countries  and  their  people. 

Robert   H.    Smith    writes   that   his   son,

I'm  sure  you'll  want  our  class  of  '27 
to  be  a  five-timer,  (by  way  of  explana- 
tion, that  means  having  a  class  news  let- 
ter included  in  every  Bucknell  Monthly 
issue  during  the  year)  this  year — and  it 
will  be  if  you  help  me  out  by  taking  time 
out  to  sit  down,  recalling  summer  experi- 
ences, and  then  writing  me  some  news 
about  yourself  and  a  classmate  or  two  you 
may  have  bumped  into  this  vacation  sea- 
son.    Here's  hoping! 

Walter  Hufnagle  of  Catawissa,  Pa. 
writes  that  after  seventeen  years  of  school 
teaching  he  launched  out  into  the  Insur- 
ance Business.  He  is  married  and  the 
father  of  two  boys,  James  and  Jackson. 
In  1933  he  received  his  M.A.  from  Co-

Will  you  forgive  your  reporter  if  she 
brags  a  bit  about  several  of  our  class- 
mates? You  have  probably  heard  or  read 
by  this  time  that  there  were  three  out- 
standing men  added  to  the  Bucknell  Board 
of  Trustees,  but  have  you  heard  that  two 
of  that  number  were  members  of  the  Class 
of  '29?  Henry  Rowland  Coleman,  Vice- 
President  and  Assistant  General  Manager 
of  the  Remington  Arms,  Incorporated,  and 
Hugo  Riemer,  President  of  the  Nitrogen 
Division  of  the  Allied  Chemical  and  Dye 
Corporation,  are  now  members  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees. 

Your  reporter  is  happy  to  announce 
that  she  has  been  nominated  on  the  Re- 
publican ticket  for  the  office  of  County 
Commissioner  in  Union  County.  Like- 
wise, due  to  a  change  in  administration, 
I  am  no  longer  in  the  capital  city  of  Har- 
risburg. My  services  as  Administrative 
Assistant  in  the  Department  of  Internal 
Affairs  were  terminated  on  August  31

The  Class  of  '35  had  a  wonderful  reunion

for  our  20th  next  June. 

Our  sympathies  are  extended  to  John

6,  and  William  Alexander,  3. 

From  d  o  w  n  Chester  way  comes  the 
news  of  a  distaff  gathering  of  Bucknellians 
who  had  not  seen  one  another  for  seven 
years,  more  or  less.  Mrs.  Harry  T. 
Shaub  (Virginia  Nylund)  entertained  at 
luncheon  for  Genevieve  Lawrence,  Mrs. 
Chalsmer  K.  Brown  (Charlotte  L.  Shupe) 
and  Mrs.  Paul  W.  Ziegler  (Mabel  Nylund 
'37).  The  get-together  evoked  much 
merriment  as  the  gals  caught  up  on  the 
news.  On  March  16  Charlotte  completed 
a  year  as  Worthy  High  Priestess  of  Im- 
manual  Shrine  No.  19,  White  Shrine  of

THEIR  SERVICE  TO  BUCKNELL  TOTALS  107  YEARS 


On  the  official  records  of  the  University,  the  word  "Emeri- 
tus" has  been  inscribed  back  of  the  names  of  Dr.  Frank  G. 
Davis.  Dr.  Da3-ton  L.  Ranck  and  Dr.  Norman  H.  Stewart — 
but  they  have  not  "retired." 

At  the  Alumni  Reunion  Exercises  in  June  an  all  too  brief 
reference  was  made  to  the  31  years  of  service  of  Doctors  Davis 
and  Ranck  and  the  45  vears  of  service  of  Dr.  Stewart.  A  whole 
issue  of  THE  BUCKXELL  ALUAIKUS  could  not  adequately 
record  the  expressions  of  esteem  from  alumni  and  friends. 
Hardlv  a  week  aroes  by  that  we  do  not  have  mail  from  Buck- 


nellians  expressing  best  wishes  and  thanks  for  help  extended 
and  guidance  freeh-  given  far  beyond  the  line  of  duty  by  these 
three  gentlemen. 

We  could  fill  this  and  manj'  more  pages  with  their  pro- 
fessional achievements.  But  these  have  been  recorded  here 
(however  inadequately) — as  thej'  occurred. 

Of  far  greater  interest  to  Bucknellians  at  this  moment 
would  be  their  reflections  after  107  years  of  service  to  Bucknell 
University.  We  give  j'ou  then:  "Impressions  of  Bucknell, 
1925-1955"  by  Doctors  Davis,  Ranck  and  Stewart.

One  can  hardly  be  a  Bucknellian  for  47 
years  without  feeling  himself  a  part  of 
a  growing,  developing,  maturing  institu- 
tion. Bucknell  had  only  SOO  students 
when  I  graduated  in  1911,  but  it  had  a 
sense  of  mission.  President  John  Howard 
Harris  had  seen  the  need  for  scientists 
and  engineers  as  well  as  that  for  ministers 
and  teachers.  The  need  for  social  science 
had  scarcely  appeared,  since  natural  sci- 
ence had  not  yet  got  out  of  hand,  so  the 
curriculum  in  that  self-satisfied  era  could 
go  along  largely  untouched  by  the  threats 
of  tomorrow.  For  instance,  two  full-time 
Latin  teachers  and  one  nearly  full-time 
Greek  teacher  taught  us  what  we  con- 
sidered necessary  then  but  the  need  for 
which  most  students  today  feci  is  met  by 
a  course  in  Latin  and  Greek  in  English. 

Teaching,  for  example,  in  that  much  less 
complicated  era,  required  no  professional 
training  at  all.  Economics  was  mainly 
theoretical;  so  far  as  we  could  see,  little 
had  changed  from  the  nineteenth  century. 
A  few  premonitions  of  the  future  were 
appearing  here  and  there,  such  as  wireless 
telegraphy,  the  automobile,  the  airplane, 
and  silent  moving  pictures,  mainly  in  the 
nickelodeon.  Labor  was  cautiously  raising 
its  head  but  had  slight  effect  on  the  econ- 
omy. Modern  medicine  had  begun  in  a 
very  small  way  to  lengthen  the  life  span, 
which  has  now  been  increased  by  nearly 
20  years  since  the  beginning  of  the  cen- 
tury. 

Many  other  important  events  have 
tran.spircd  in  the  past  47  years.  In  far 
too  many  instances  our  colleges  arc  fail- 
ing to  meet  the  challenge  of  the  present 
and  the  future.  Despite  two  world  wars 
and  a  nizcablc  "incident"  in  Korea,  and  the 
fact  that  the  world  is  lined  up  in  two 
camp.i;  communist  and  fn.e,  the  amount 
of  study  that  is  being  devoted  to  Kussia 
or  China  ii  insignificant.  We  don't  know

EARLIER  — NOW 

Yes,  there  is  a  new  look  to  the  Bucknell 
campus.  It  is  different  in  its  physical  ap- 
pearance, far  different  from  what  it  was 
in  1910  when  I  first  appeared  on  the  camp- 
us as  a  student,  different  from  its  look 
in  1924  when  I  returned  as  an  employee 
of  the  College.  Thirty-one  years  as  an 
employee  of  Alma  Mater  certainly  brings 
many  changes. 

The  Faculty.  All  my  own  professors 
gone.  Of  those  on  the  faculty  thirty-one 
years  ago,  few  remain.  Now,  we  have 
many  more  courses  and  many  more  well- 
trained,  dedicated  men  and  women  to 
teach  them. 

The  Student  Body.  Less  than  a  thou- 
sand in  1924.  Today,  two  thousand.  But 
why  are  these  seekers  after  knowledge 
growing  younger  each  year — in  appear- 
ance, at  least?  The  cause.  Dear  Alumnus, 
is  with  us.  Put  on  glasses;  wipe  off  the 
haze;  and  then  realize  that  it  is  our  view- 
point that  is  constantly  changing!  To  the 
advantage  of  youth! 

The  Campus.  Westward  from  tbe  old 
library.  New  buildings,  functional  yet 
with  architectural  embellishment.  Exten- 
sive walks  and  drives.  Cars  and  parking. 
Flowers,  trees,   shrubbery,  landscaping! 

Finances.  A  modest  budget  of  less  than 
half  a  million.  An  endowment  of  nearly 
$800,000.  Today?  A  budget  of  nearly 
three-million  dollars.  An  eiulownient 
with  a  book  value  of  over  three-million 
dollars.  A  market  value  of  more  than 
four-million.  Still  far  from  ade(|uate,  but 
what  progress! 

LOOKING  AHEAD 

It's  liuckncll  c-ntliu.si,isiM  th.it  will  inmil 
most.     Contagious?     Yes.     'i'lierc  is  soinc- 
tliiiig  about  the  Grand  Old  Inslilulion  that 
(Vonllnved  on  Page  te) 


Dear  Bucknellians,  People  often  say  to 
me,  "I  suppose  Bucknell  has  changed  a 
great  deal  since  you  came  here?"  My  re- 
ply is  both  a  slow  contemplative  "yes," 
and  then  a  smiling  "no."  It  is  yes  when 
I  think  how  its  original  "front"  facing  the 
river,  seems  to  have  turned  about  to  face 
far  wider  horizons.  Certainly  we  no  long- 
er gather  in  little  old  Bucknell  Hall  for 
chapel  each  morning  at  eight  o'clock,  and 
the  president's  reception  to  the  faculty 
cannot  be  held  in  the  Academy  Building, 
(now  Taylor,  326,  live  hamster  room!) 
We  do  not  sit  on  the  hillside  overlooking 
Loomis  field  to  witness  football  games. 
Dignified  and  fearsome  faculty  whiskers 
and  shiny  black  clothes  are  almost  extinct. 
Cars  would  disturb  any  crows  that  tried 
to  nest  in  the  big  oak  trees  today,  or  any 
nieadowlarks  wishing  to  nest  anywhere 
beyond  Seventh  Street. 

Yet,  as  I  sit  here  in  my  home  and  look 
up  at  the  campus  hill,  1  feel  that  Bucknell 
has  not  changed  in  those  ways  that  I  con- 
sider vital.  More  acres,  yes,  more  build- 
ings, yes,  larger  faculty  and  student  body, 
certainly,  more  fraternities,  intercollegiate 
relations  and  world  wide  interests — yes,  all 
those  things.  They  sometimes  seem  about 
to  change  Bucknell,  but  Alma  Mater 
smiles  and  goes  right  on  in  her  forward 
looking  way  to  accomplish  her  God-given 
mission.  She  seems  lo  say,  "The  only 
reason  for  having  small  colleges  is  my  in- 
.s|)iralion,  still  my  greatest  asset.  It  is  the 
friendliness,  the  mutual  regard,  the  loyal- 
ty, yes,  the  kinship  that  binds  us  all  to- 
gether as  fellow  sludeiUs,  making  for 
richness  of  life  through  devotion  to  our 
coninion  goals!"

Introducing  Two  New  Presidents  .  .  . 


stone  &  Webster  Engineering  Corporation  elected  T.  Cortlandt  Wil- 
liams, St.  '20  OS  President.  Associated  with  Stone  &  Webster  since  1923,  he 
was  appointed  construction  engineer  in  1942  and  elected  executive  vice-presi- 
dent in  1953.  As  President,  with  headquarters  in  New  York  City,  Williams 
will  be  responsible  for  the  company's  world-wide  engineering  and  construc- 
tion activities.  He  is  currently  serving  also  as  President  of  the  National 
Constructors  Association.  Married  to  Mary  Evelyn  Deveney  (Goucher  Col- 
lege) in  1924,  they  ore  the  parents  of  one  son,  T.  C.  Williams,  Jr.,  who 
attended  Bucknell  and  was  awarded  the  degree  of  civil  engineering  by  The 
Citadel  in  1948.     He  is  now  a  Captain  in  the  Army. 


Mrs.  James  Clark  Fullmer  (Barbara  B.  Hooven  '50),  and  her  father, 
Morris  D.  Hooven  '20,  1955-56  President  of  the  American  Institute  of  Elec- 
trical Engineers,  at  the  Summer  General  Meeting  of  the  Institute  at  Swamp- 
scott,  Mass.,  where  Mr.  Hooven's  election  as  head  of  the  largest  technical 
society  of  its  kind  was  announced,  and  where  Mrs.  Fullmer  acted  as  co- 
hostess.  Barbara  is  a  native  of  Montclair,  N.  J.,  and  now  lives  at  Fort  Deven, 
Mass.  Her  father,  who  took  office  Aug.  1,  is  an  engineering  executive  with 
Public  Service  Gas  and  Electric  Company,  Newark,  N.  J. 


Former  Trustee  Reese  H.  Harris  '03  Succumbs 


It  is  with  sadness  that  we  record  the 
death  of  Reese  Harvey  Harris,  Sr.,  Esq. 
'03  on  Saturday,  June  18  at  his  La  Plume 
home.  Only  a  brief  illness  preceded  the 
fatal  heart  attack  at  72.  His  demise  came 
as  a  shock  to  friends  and  business  asso- 
ciates. Only  a  week  previously  he  had 
been  at  work  in  his  office  where  he  was 
senior  member  of  Harris,  Warren,  Hill  & 
Henkelman  and  practicing  attorney  for 
more  than  47  years  in  Lackawanna  Coun- 
ty Courts. 

Attorney  Harris  was  the  son  of  Dr. 
John  H.  Harris  and  Lucy  Bailey  Harris, 
former  longtime  Bucknell  University 
President,  founder  of  the  Keystone  Junior 
College,  and  nationally  known  educator. 

He  received  his  preparatory  training  in 
the  Lewisburg  public  schools  and  Bucknell 
Academy.  From  Bucknell  University  he 
was  awarded  Bachelor  and  Master  de- 
grees, summa  cum  laude  and  from  Har- 
vard University,  where  he  was  a  Faculty 
Scholar,  he  achieved  his  Law  degree,  cum 
laude.  He  was  a  Phi  Gamma  Delta  and 
was  elected  to  Phi  Beta  Kappa  at  Bucknell 
as  a  Foundation  member  of  the  Bucknell 
chapter. 

His  interests  in  banking,  lumber,  and 
coal,  as  well  as  his  keen  concern  for  edu- 
cation and  law,  gained  liim  statewide  rec- 
ognition. He  was  a  former  trustee  of 
both  Keystone  Junior  College  and  Buck- 

24 


nell  University.  His  brilliance  in  law  led 
to  his  long  term  appointments  on  the 
Board  of  Governors  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Bar  Association  and  he  held  membership 
in  the  Lackawanna  County  and  American 
Bar  Associations.  Among  his  directorships 
were  those  in  the  First  National  Bank, 
Scranton;  Temple  Coal  Company;  Edison 
Anthracite  Coal  Company;  Pennsylvania 
Coal  Company  and  Northwestern  Mining 
and  Exchange  Coal  Co.  He  was  a  past 
president  and  director  of  the  United  States 
Lumber  Company. 

Attorney  Harris  married  the  former 
Christine  A.  Richards  of  Connecticut,  a 
New  England  Conservatory  of  Music  and 
Mansfield  State  Teachers  College  graduate. 
Her  demise  November  5,  1952  occurred 
after  42  years  of  marriage.  Three  chil- 
dren survive:  Reese  H.  Harris,  Jr.,  Mrs. 
Philip  W.  Scheide,  both  of  West  Hart- 
ford, Conn.,  and  Mrs.  William  Acker  '43, 
Waverly.  Three  brothers  and  one  sister, 
Bucknellians  all,  survive:  Stanlej'  N.  Har- 
ris '18,  Pittsburgh;  James  P.  Harris  '12, 
Kingston;  Dr.  Coleman  J.  Harris  '12, 
Charleston,  W.  Va.;  and  Dr.  Mary  B.  Har- 
ris '94,  Lewisburg,  noted  penologist  and 
Bucknell  Trustee. 

He  will  be  greatly  missed  not  only  in 
law  circles  but  by  his  family  and  a  host 
of  Bucknell  friends. 


An  Invitation  From  Bucknell  Revieia 

Beginning  with  the  fall  issue,  Bucknell  Re- 
I'iczv  will  become  a  quarterly  journal  of  let- 
ters, arts,  and  science  open  to  contributors 
outside  Bucknell  University  as  well  as  to 
the  Faculty.  Heretofore  contributions  to 
Bucknell  Reznew  (formerly  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity Studies)  were  restricted  to  the  Buck- 
nell Faculty. 

As  a  result  of  the  change,  the  Editor,  Dr. 
Gladys  E.  Cook,  invites  alumni,  present  and 
former  Bucknell  Faculty  members,  and 
scholars  in  general  to  help  the  University 
assume  the  intellectual  role  tliat  Bucknel- 
lians want  Bucknell  to  have. 

Journals  abound,  but  most  of  them  are 
either  too  technical  or  too  popular  or  too 
limited  in  scope  to  welcome  certain  kinds  of 
intellectual  essays  of  general  interest. 
Though  the  editors  will  continue  to  publish 
the  kinds  of  articles  that  other  scholarly 
and  critical  quarterlies  solicit,  Bucknell  Re- 
view is  especially  anxious  to  welcome  pa- 
pers that  do  not  readily  fit  the  current 
grooves. 

There  is  good  reason  to  anticipate  that 
Bucknell  Revinv  can  become  a  leading  quar- 
terly in  this  area.  As  is  well  known,  many 
colleges  have  raised  their  national  standing 
and  tlieir  academic  excellence  because  of 
their  journals.  The  alumni  of  Bucknell,  by 
contributing  articles  and  by  subscribing  to 
the  new  quarterly,  at  $2.40  a  year,  can  help 
the  University  distinguish  itself  in  the  aca- 
demic world. 

SEPTEMBER     1955 


Three  Distinguished  Articles 

Bucknell  University  may  well  be  proud  of 
the  latest  issue  of  The  Bucknell  Rez'tCtV, 
which  appeared  in  May,  containing  three  ex- 
cellent essays  of  literary  criticism. 

Professor  Robert  E.  Alaurer's  "Latter- 
Day  Notes  on  E.  E.  Cummings'  Language" 
oflFers  more  than  the  modest  title  indicates, 
for  by  a  brilliant  study  of  Cummings'  gram- 
mar, substitution  of  one  part  of  speech  for 
another,  use  of  metaphor,  and  by  relating 
these  to  Cummings'  thought  and  feeling,  he 
has  gone  immediately  to  the  heart  of  tlie 
difficulties  involved  in  reading  Cummings, 
and  explained  most  of  them.  Beginning 
with  the  childlike  qualitv'  of  Cummings' 
coinages.  Professor  Maurer  goes  on  to  an 
analysis  of  the  thought  process  involved  in 
the  use  of  such  words  as  ichy  and  1/  as 
nouns.  For  Cummings,  ic7iy  is  used  to  mean 
"a  state  of  uncertainty-,  a  searching  for  di- 
rection from  sources  outside  oneself,  an  un- 
spontaneous  demanding  of  reasons  and  caus- 
es in  the  face  of  life.  A  person  who  is  a 
■why  is  generally  a  subject  for  ridicule,  like 
an  if,  a  timid  creature  who  thinks,  fears, 
denies,  follows,  unlike  an  all-alive  is."  Pro- 
fessor Maurer  has  done  a  difficult  piece  of 
literary  criticism  with  tact  and  intelligence, 
and  has  increased  our  enjoj^ment  of  an  im- 
portant American  poet. 

Professor  Ward  Hooker's  "Apuleius's 
'Cupid  and  Psyche'  as  a  Platonic  Myth" 
takes  issue  with  the  prevailing  view  that  the 
story  is  "an  aimless  j^otpourri,"  and  advances 
the  opinion  that  the  Platonic  influence  "was 
what  determined  the  major  characterization 
and  the  plot,"  although  the  minor  charac- 
terizations and  incidents  come  from  folklore. 
Drawng  on  a  wide  range  of  knowledge  and 
mature  judgment,  Professor  Hooker  makes 
a  good  case  for  his  view  that  the  story  is 
based  on  the  Socratic  doctrine  expressed  in 
the  Symposium  that  love  is  (1)  birth  in 
beauty;  (2)  both  physical  and  spiritual  ele- 
ments within  the  soul  contribute  to  progress 
on  the  "ladder  of  love";  (3)  love  is  a  pursuit 
of  immortalit}-.  Professor  Hooker  presents 
his  case  in  an  urbane  style  which  indicates 
his  own  good  sense  and  good  temper. 

The  third  article  in  the  Review  is  Miss 
Mildred  Munday's  "Pejorative  Patterns  in 
Shakespeare's  Troilus  and  Crcssida."  Like 
Professor  Maurer's  it  deals  with  language 
as  a  clue  to  the  evaluation  of  the  literature, 
and  like  Professor  Hooker's,  it  takes  issue 
with  prevailing  opinion  and  offers  a  new 
view.  The  theme  of  Shakespeare's  play,  so- 
cial disintegration,  "a  world  where  heroism 
is  opportunism"  is  expressed  in  images  of 
bestiality  and  gluttony,  by  the  use  of  de- 
grading epithets,  and  technical  devices  used 
to  cast  asf)ersion  on  whatever  is  being  dis- 
cussed. Miss  Munday  has  a  wealth  of  spe- 
cific detail,  and  her  conclusions  are  appar- 
ently sound,  though  one  could  wish  for  firm- 
er links  between  her  detailed  evidence  and 
her  generalizations.  However,  Miss  Mun- 
day's study,  like  those  of  Professors  Maurer 
and  Hooker,  unites  sound  scholarship  with 
independent  thought. 


University  Conducts  Full 
Summer  Program 

The  Bucknell  campus  seemed  to  be 
filled  with  activity'  this  summer.  A  total 
enrollment  of  506  students  for  the  various 
summer  sessions  was  recorded.  Of  the 
total,  336  students  enrolled  in  the  eight- 
week  course  for  regular  students.  Anoth- 
er 170  persons  took  part  in  the  six-week 
session  for  teachers  and  educators. 

Dr.  Frank  G.  Davis  '11  was  director  and 
Dr.  J.  Charles  Jones  '42  was  assistant  di- 
rector of  the  11th  annual  Guidance  Work- 
shop conducted  in  the  six-week  summer 
session  of  which  Dr.  Walter  H.  Sauvain 
is  director.  Besides  the  regular  staff  mem- 
bers of  the  department  of  education,  the 
Guidance  Conference  included  these  visit- 
ing lecturers:  Dr.  N.  Harry  Camp,  direc- 
tor of  clinical  services,  Baltimore  Co., 
Md. ;  Dr.  Robert  Hoppock,  professor  of 
education.  New  York  University;  Mabel 
Grier  Lesher,  M.D.  '01,  social  hygienist; 
Dr.  Esther  Lloyd- Jones,  professor  of  edu- 
cation, Columbia  University;  Mrs.  Pearl 
S.  Norris,  guidance  supervisor,  Philadel- 
phia; Dr.  Daniel  A.  Prescott,  professor  of 
education,  University  of  Maryland ;  Dr. 
Frank  L.  Sievers,  executive  secretary  of 
American  Personnel  and  Guidance  Asso- 
ciation; and  Dr.  Willis  Thompson,  past 
high  school  principal,  New  Rochelle,  N.  Y. 
A  number  of  faculty  staff  members  and 
visiting  educators  served  as  panel  and  dis- 
cussion leaders. 

Institute  for  Foreign  Students 

Overlapping  the  Summer  School,  was 
the  12th  annual  Bucknell  Institute  for 
Foreign  Students.  This  program  enrolled 
fifty  students  from  twenty  countries,  all 
young  professional  people:  doctors,  nurs- 
es, teachers,  engineers,  business  men  and 
government  officials.  They  follow  a  con- 
cise seven-week  program  that  features 
classroom  work  emphasizing  the  develop- 
ment of  the  ability  to  speak,  hear  and 
write  English  and  includes  numerous  non- 
classroom  activities  aimed  at  improving 
their  English  and  learning  about  Ameri- 
can life.  Two  farm  weekends  are  includ- 
ed in  the  program.  In  September  they  go 
to  many  Universities  and  research  centers 
across  the  land.  They  are  sponsored  in 
the  United  States  by  the  Department  of 
State,  Department  of  the  Army,  the  Insti- 
tute of  International  Education,  and  the 
Rockefeller  Foundation.  Included  in  the 
visiting  students  was  Masaya  Yamamoto, 
son  of  a  Bucknell  graduate,  Kenbi  Yam- 
amoto, of  the  Class  of  1925,  who  died  in 
1950. 

Dr.  C.  Willard  Smith,  the  Institute  di- 
rector, and  Dr.  Frank  W.  Merritt,  asso- 
ciate director,  were  assisted  by  a  staff  of 
eleven  instructors,  some  from  the  faculty 
and  seven  guest  lecturers.

Zager  '38  Serves  National 
Fraternity 

In  a  recent  survey  of  alumni  the  ques- 
tion "Any  Particular  Hobby?"  was  asked. 
Abe  Zager's  answer  was  "\Vlio  has  time?" 
After  looking  over  his  recent  activities,  it 
is  not  hard  to  see  why  Abe  is  so  busy. 
He  had  to  interrupt  his  law  school  course 
to  enter  the  Army.  He  was  separated  as 
a  Captain  (Signal  Corps)  in  May,  1946, 
after  four  and  a  half  years  of  service.  Al- 
ways interested  in  the  national  social  fra- 
ternity, Sigma  Alpha  Mu,  he  now  serves 
as  a  national  officer,  and  so  far  as  we  can 
learn  is  the  only  member  of  the  Bucknell 
Chapter  of  SAM  to  have  reached  that 
level  of  service  in  the  fraternity.  His  oth- 
er activities  include  an  active  law  practice 
as  a  partner  in  the  firm  of  Parsons,  Lab- 
recque,  Canzona  c&  Combs  in  Red  Bank, 
New  Jersey.  He  is  also  active  in  the 
American  Legion,  Jewish  War  Veterans, 
B'Nai  Brith,  Monmouth  County  Bar  As- 
sociation, New  Jersey  State  Bar  Associa- 
tion, American  Bar  Association  and  for 
two  terms  has  been  president  of  Congre- 
gation B'Nai  Israel  of  Red  Bank. 

Married  to  the  former  Nettie  Caplan, 
they  are  the  parents  of  two  girls  and  a 
boy. 

Abe  is  still  very  active  in  the  Alumni 
Chapter  of  the  SAMMIES  and  gets  back 
to  the  campus  regularly.  He  assisted  with 
the  rebuilding  of  the  local  fraternity  house 
which  was  dedicated  in  the  Spring  of  1955. 


ness  with  the  status  quo  among  all  our 
students,  particularly  the  gifted  ones.  How 
shall  man  catch  up  with  the  machine? 
Only  by  the  creativeness  that  brought  the 
machine  into  existence.  Those  persons 
responsible  for  building  college  curricula 
should  take  at  least  two  looks  into  the  fu- 
ture for  every  one  into  the  past.

causes  men  and  women  to  love  her.  And 
that  enthusiasm  will  ultimately  carry  our 
Alma  Mater  to  her  goal:  a  physical  plant 
adequate  for  all  purposes  of  her  student 
body,  including  a  chapel,  a  social  science 
building,  a  completed  Vaughan  Literature 
Building,  a  finislicd  front  of  the  Davis 
Gymnasium  to  the  end  that  the  new  swim- 
ming pool  will  stand  out  as  an  embellish- 
ment to  a  completed  physical  education 
plant,  all  complementing  the  Bertrand  Li- 
brary, the  F,  W.  Olin  Science  Building, 
the  James  S.  Swartz  Hall,  and  the  many 
other  monumental  structures. 

And  all  will  eventually  be  brought  about 
because  of  an  ever-enlarging  vision  on  the 
part  of  a  group  of  conscientious  and  de- 
voted Trustees  giving  of  their  time,  their 
energy,  and  their  money,  along  with  facul- 
ty members  and  administrators,  deter- 
mined lli;it  Bucknell's  primary  purpose  for 
c'xisling  sh.ill  be  met:  Instruction  and 
character  building  of  the  young  men  and 
women  who  come  to  the  campus  for  the 
four  best  years  of  their  lives. 

What  do  I  see  ahead?  A  campus  ever 
being  beautified,  constantly  being  enlarged 
and  made  more  serviceable.  A  student 
body  absorbing  the  Bucknell  tradition. 
Loyally  and  sacrifice  of  trustees,  faculty 
and  administrators.  .Sixteen  thousand 
alumni  who  love  the  college.  The  con- 
stant march  toward  the  goal  of  all.  It's 
a  grand  college  for  you  and  me — and  if 
for  IIS.  thin  fur  the  generations  to  follow.

University  Earns  Two 
Alumni  Awards 

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  American 
Alumni  Council  held  in  June,  Bucknell 
University  received  two  citations. 

"The  Handbook  for  Alumni  Club  Offi- 
cers" developed  by  a  committee  under 
the  chairmanship  of  William  S.  Liming 
'i3,  president  of  the  General  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation, won  the  1955  award  for  significant 
achievement  in  promoting  alumni  club 
leadership. 

The  book  of  poems  by  Lois  Ann  Davi- 
son '56  "Ask  of  the  liagle"  produced  by 
the  development  office,  under  the  direction 
of  Alfred  H.  Fenton,  was  awarded  the 
1955  citation  for  significant  achievement 
in  the  use  of  direct  mail  to  promote  special 
fund  gifts.  The  book  of  poems  was  dis- 
tributed to  prospective  benefactors  of  the 
University.  The  volume  was  reviewed  in 
THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS,  March, 
1955,  p.  5. 

Framed  citations  of  these  two  awards 
now  hang  in  Alumni  Headquarters  along

THE  FUND  LOOK 


ROY    E.    NICODEMUS   '25  CLYDE   P.    BAILEY  '29 

Oil  July  1,  Clyde  P.  Bailey,  Esq.  '29  handed  the  reins  of  the  Alumni  Fund 
Chairmanship  to  Dr.  Roy  E.  Nicodemus  '25. 

Under  Clyde's  inspiring  leadership  during  the  1954-55  Fund  Year,  more 
Bucknellians  gave  more  dollars  for  a  higher  percentage  of  participation  than  ever 
before  in  the  eight-}'ear  history  of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Annual-Giving  Program, 

Already  Roy  (better  known  to  countless  Bucknellians  as  "Nick")  has  taken 
steps  to  follow  the  wise  policy  of  the  Fund  since  its  inception — to  press  onward 
toward  increased  giving  of  unrestricted  funds  under  the  "living  endowment" 
principle  for  the  current  budget  needs  of  the  University. 

Hundreds  of  Bucknell  Alumni  fund  workers  extend  a  big  "thank  you"  to 
Clyde  for  a  job  well  done  and  express  a  big  "welcome"  and  pledge  of  continued 
support  to  Nick. 

A  glance  at  the  unrestricted  giving  totals  tells  the  story  of  the  awakening 
Bucknell  Alumni  to  the  current  budget  needs  of  the  University :

Total  Gifts  (61/2   years)    §141, 571.69 

Besides  the  Alumni  Fund  gifts,  Bucknellians  in  the  past  two  j'ears  alone 
have  made  generous  contributions  to  specific  projects — largely  capital  gifts — for 
scholarships,  research,  endowment  and  buildings  :

Personal  Solicitation 

The  65  class  fund  managers  who  remind  their  Bucknell  classmates  of  the 
fund  program  each  February,  were  joined  this  past  year  by  a  group  of  almost 
400  volunteer  personal  solicitation  agents  (see  lists  on  pp.  10-20).  This  new 
group  of  workers  established  new  highs  in  percentage  of  participation : 

Solicitation  Area  Percentage  of  Participation 

Lycoming  County   48% 

Southern  New  Jersey ,,.    48% 

Trenton,   New   Jersey   45% 

Washington,  D.  C 39% 

Long   Island — Queens    38% 

Union    County    37% 

Pittsburgh    '„" ZZ'"Z'^'^^-'''^^^Z.Z  33% 

Philadelphia    30% 

Harrisburg     26% 

Binghamton     21% 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  in  the  personal  sohcitation  program  more  than  half 
of  the  contributors  were  BucknelHans  who  had  never  before  given  to  the  Bucknell 
Alumni  Annual-Giving  Fund,  reminding  us  again  that  many  donors  need  a  personal 
visit  to  start  them  on  the  road  to  annual-giving.  Since  there  are  probably  several 
thousand  Bucknellians  who  need  this  personal  touch  to  start  them  in  the  program, 
the  personal  solicitation  effort  will  be  continued  and  expanded  in  the  coming  year. 

The  complete  report  of  the  results  of  the  1954-55  program  bv  classes  will  reach 
you  by  mail  within  a  few  weeks  in  an  interesting  booklet  Growing  Bigger  Every  Year! 
The  booklet  will  also  carry  an  appeal  for  your  contribution  for  the  new  1955-56  fund 
year  of  annual-giving.  Be  on  the  lookout  for  your  copy,  see  how  3'our  class  finished  in 
the  competition,  and  then  put  your  class  in  the  forefront  by  an  early  gift  to  the  Eighth 
(1955-56)  Fund.

OLIN  SCIENCE  BUILDING  DEDICATED 


One  and  one-half  years  after  the  an- 
nouncement of  the  F.  W.  Olin  Foundation 
gift,  the  building  itself  became  reality  as 
the  science  structure  was  presented  for 
dedication  by  Dr.  Charles  L.  Horn,  presi- 
dent of  the  Foundation. 

The  $900,000  grant  was  announced  by 
Dr.  Horn  at  a  special  assembly  of  students 
and  facultj-  in  Davis  Gymnasium,  January  12, 
1954.  The  groimd  breaking  ceremony  was 
held  at  noon  Tune  12,  1954.  The  corner- 
stone placement  was  made  Saturday,  Tune 
11.  1955  and  on  September  28.  1955  at  10:00 
A.  M.,  the  modern  four-stor\'  building  was 
dedicated  at  the  annual  convocation  with  im- 
pressive ceremony.  The  gift  to  Bucknell 
Universitj-,  Dr.  Horn  announced,  was  made 
in  the  belief  that  "a  college  must  have  good 
teachers  and  correspondingly  good  facilities 
if  it  is  to  do  its  job  well." 

The  Bucknell  architect,  J.  Frederick  Lar- 
soru  prepared  the  plans  for  the  brick  struc- 
ture to  house  the  departments  of  physics, 
mathematics,  and  chemistrj-.  The  Andrew  J. 
Sordoni  Construction  Company,  ^^"ilkes- 
Barre,  was  in  charge  of  building  operations. 

In  central  position  near  the  entrance  to  the 
F.  \V.  Olin  Science  Hall,  there  is  an  audi- 
torium or  lecture  room  with  seating  capacity 
of  200.  The  front  of  the  auditorium  is  fit- 
ted with  demonstration  tables.  From  this 
point  lights  can  be  controlled  as  well  as 
from  the  projection  booth.  To  augment 
hearing  facilities,  a  public  address  system  has 
been  installed. 

The  physics  department  has  six  labora- 
tories; each  has  movable  and  adjustable 
tables.  At  the  work  tables,  electrical  circuits 
have  been  laid  so  that  each  student  can  car- 
ry on  independent  research  simultaneously. 
A  shop  for  use  of  students  and  faculty  is 
available  for  construction  and  repair  work. 
In  addition  there  is  an  electric  instrument 
room  where  equipment  is  built,  repaired,  and 
tested. 

Partictjlarly  popular  with  the  student  is 
the  physics  demonstration  lecture  room, 
which  is  equipped  with  a  catwalk  to  elimi- 
nate the  necessity  of  ladder-step  climbing  to 
reach  materials  on  top  shelves.  Here  demon- 
strations in  physical  phenomena  are  given. 
A  seminar  and  a  battery  room  complete  the 
department. 

For  the  department  of  mathematics,  a  large 
calculating  room  is  provided  together  with 
five  office  rooms  and  classrrjoms. 

A  feature  of  the  chemistry  department  is 

the    inclusion    of    acid-resistant    tile    in    the 

lahfjratorics.     In  the  student  labs  the  tables 

have   l)ccn   specially   treated,   the   stone  tops 

impregnated  with  plastic,  and  the  wood  it- 

■':lf  has  l)cen  processed  for  durability.     Five

,'>in   the  lalKjratories.     A   sink  has  been  in- 

talled    opposite    each    desk    in    elementary 

hirmistry.     In  the  department  of  analytical 

hcmistry.  a  shower  in  the  rear  of  the  lab

of  obnoxious  fumes,  a  motor  generator  set 
room,  a  buildings  and  grounds  room,  an 
elevator,  and  a  general  stockroom  with  built- 
in  incinerator. 

The  convocation  ceremony  was  held  in 
Davis  Gymnasium  with  Dr.  Merle  M.  Od- 
gers,  president  of  Bucknell  University,  pre- 
siding. The  University  Band  under  the  di- 
rection of  Professor  Allen  W.  Flock  pre- 
sented the  Triumphal  March  of  Rozsa  for 
the  academic  procession.  Before  the  sing- 
ing of  The  National  Anthem  by  the  2,000 
guests,  faculty  and  students,  chaplain  of  the 
University  Dr.  Mark  E.  Ebersole  offered 
the  invocation. 

Dr.  John  C.  Warner,  President  of  the  Car- 
negie institute  of  Technology,  addressed  the 
convocation  on  "Science,  Scientist,  and  Civil- 
ization.'' Dr.  Warner  traced  the  expanding 
role  of  science  through  the  years.  He  told 
his  audience  that  man's  understanding  of 
natural  phenomena  and  his  material  environ- 
ment has  not  only  deepened  but  that  the 
scientist  has  developed  efficient  methods  that 
can  be  helpful  in  solving  man's  social,  po- 
litical, and  economic  problems.  This  meth- 
od, he  declared,  with  substantial  modifica- 
tions, should  be  applicable  to  the  solution  of 
our  pressing  current  problems  of  properly 
distributing  the  material  fruits  of  science, 
and  of  so  organizing  society  that,  in  the  long 
run,  civilization  will  progress  toward  the 
goal  of  all  human  effort. 

Noting  the  lack  of  appreciation  for  tlie 
scientific  method.  Dr.  Warner  continued 
"not  having  solved  the  problems  of  equitably 
distributing  the  material  benefits  of  science, 
we  waste  them  in  trade  wars,  class  strife, 
and  armed  conflicts,  and  we  restrict  the  pro- 
duction of  foodstuffs  or  destroy  stockpiles 
of  potatoes  wl'.ile  people  are  hungry." 

Dr.  Warner  concluded  his  address  with  the 
observation  of  the  need  for  political,  moral, 
and  business  leaders  who  are  more  scientific 


and  scientific  leaders  who  are  more  humane. 
Before  the  presentation  of  the  F.  W.  Olin 
Science  Building  by  Dr.  Charles  L.  Horn, 
president  of  the  F.  W.  Olin  Foundation,  Inc., 
to  Bucknell,  the  anthem  "O  Praise  Ye  God" 
by  Tschaikowsky  was  sung  by  the  a  cap- 
pella  Bucknell  Tjniversity  Chapel  Choir  led 
by  Dr.  William  D.  McRae. 

In  his  bestowal  oration.  Dr.  Horn  ex- 
pressed the  layman's  point  of  view  on  how 
a  college  should  be  directed.  He  advised 
college  leaders  to  take  a  look  at  the  way  they 
were  administering  their  schools.  After  citing 
the  high  incidence  of  freshman  and  sopho- 
more withdrawals  from  college,  he  suggested 
that  lower  classmen  be  charged  higher  rates 
to  prevent  the  college  from  developing  deep 
deficits.  A  nationwide  siu-vey  revealed  the 
startling  percentage  of  second-year  with- 
drawals as  51%. 

\'ice  President  and  Dean  of  the  Universi- 
ty William  H.  Coleman  in  appreciative  re- 
sponse accepted  the  building  on  behalf  of 
Bucknell  and  observed,  "In  our  modern 
world  science  is  playing  an  increasingly  im- 
portant role,  and  it  is  therefore  a  source  of 
gratification  to  Bucknellians  everywhere  to 
have  made  available  through  tlie  generosity 
of  the  F.  W.  Olin  Foundation  superior  fa- 
cilities for  the  teacliing  of  chemistry,  phys- 
ics and  mathematics  in  wliich  fields  Buck- 
nell has  always  been  outstanding." 

Following  the  presentation  ceremony, 
l^resident  Odgers  conferred  six  honorary 
degrees : 

On  Leonard  Wood  Labaree,  Doctor  of 
Literature.  Yale  University.  Professor,  his- 
torian, author,  editor  of  the  Benjamin  Frank- 
lin papers  to  comprise  25  to  30  volumes  .  .  . 
"An  historian  whose  penetrating  insight  in- 
to the  forces  operative  in  a  free  society  lias

HILDRETH  SPEAKS  AT  DORMITORY  DEDICATION 


The  United  States  ambassador  to  Pakis- 
tan, Dr.  Horace  A.  Hildreth,  formerly  presi- 
dent of  Bucknell  (1949-1953)  and  now  trus- 
tee of  the  University,  presented  an  inspiring, 
first-hand  report  on  United  States-Pakistan 
social,  cultural,  and  political  relationships  at 
the  dedication  service  of  the  James  S.  Swartz 
Hall  at  Bucknell,  Saturday,  October  IS.  Dr. 
Hildreth  spoke  to  an  overflow  audience  in 
the  lounge  of  the  new  $750,000  dormitory  for 
Freshman  men. 

The  ambassador  remarked  to  assembled 
guests,  friends  and  parents  on  hand  for  the 
Seventeenth  Annual  Dad's  Day  program, 
that  in  Pakistan,  as  elsewhere  abroad,  people 
think  the  United  States  has  so  much  money 
it  is  glad  to  "throw  it  away."  In  illustration, 
Dr.  Hildreth  cited  the  president  of  a  small 
college  who  complained  that  large  universi- 
ties received  the  bulk  of  United  States  aid 
with  smaller  colleges  given  only  token  as- 
sistance. When  Dr.  Hildreth  protested  that 
help  to  everyone  was  not  practicable,  he  was 
shocked  to  hear  the  reply,  "But  everyone 
knows  the  United  States  has  so  much  money 
it  is  glad  to  get  rid  of  it."  The  former  pres- 
ident of  Bucknell  recalled  that  moment  as 
the  only  instance  of  his  anger  in  diplomatic 
position.  Though  his  concern  for  undevel- 
oped areas  of  the  world  is  uppermost,  Dr. 
Hildreth  added  that  foreign  peoples  must 
learn  that  we  work  hard  in  the  United  States 
to  attain  what  we  have. 

Dr.  Paul  L.  Troast,  H'52,  University  trus- 
tee of  Passaic,  N.  J.,  declared  that  a  chief 
objective  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  has  been 
better  housing  for  Bucknell  students.  Toward 


this  goal,  John  Houghton  Harris  and  Rush 
Kress  '00  have  made  noteworthy  gifts. 

Dean  Malcolm  Musser  '18  hoped  that  the 
building  "will  contribute  to  the  moral,  social, 
academic,  and  democratic  development  of  the 
students." 

Vice  President  and  Director  of  Develop- 
ment, Dr.  Dayton  L.  Ranck  '16,  profiled  Dr. 
James  S.  Swartz  for  whom  the  building  is 
named.  "We  must  recognize  that  he  made 
his  contributions  to  Bucknell  because  of  his 
interest  in  young  people.  He  was  determined 
that  institutions  should  develop  character." 

Dr.  Joseph  W.  Henderson  paid  tribute  to 
Dr.  Swartz  in  the  dedicatory  plaque  unveil- 
ing ceremony.  Dr.  Henderson,  chairman  of 
the  Board  of  Trustees  observed :  "Buildings 
do  not  make  institutions — men  and  women 
make  institutions."  In  urging  students  to 
build  up  class  spirit,  he  emphasized  "when 
you  have  a  strong  organization,  it  is  hard  to 
break  it  down." 

Dr.  James  S.  Swartz,  a  47-year  member 
of  the  Bucknell  Board  of  Trustees  and  Board 
chairman  for  14  years,  died  in  1931  at  the 
age  of  91.  From  proceeds  of  real  estate 
gifts,  principally  Fairfax  County,  Virginia, 
lands,  Bucknell  has  realized  in  excess  of  $1,- 
000,000.  The  final  parcel  of  land  sale  was 
made  last  year.  In  the  plaque  inscription, 
the  tribute  concludes  with  the  words  "in 
recognition  of  his  devotion  to  the  University 
and  of  his  high  standards  as  a  Christian 
gentleman." 

The  designation  of  the  Freshman  students 
dining  room  as  John  Houghton  Harris  Din- 
ing   Hall    memorializes    a    former    Bucknell 


University  Trustee  and  member  of  Buck- 
nell's  Second  Century  Development  Com- 
mittee. His  death  occurred  in  1954.  Mr. 
Harris'  keen  interest  in  the  University  was 
manifest  by  several  large  gifts  to  Bucknell. 

After  the  morning  dedicatory  ceremonies. 
Dad's  Day  observance  followed  through  the 
Bucknell-Temple  (Bucknell  won)  (38-0) 
football  game  at  Memorial  Stadium,  with 
dinner  for  students  and  parents  at  6 :30  in 
Davis  Gymnasium.  A  special  Dad's  Day 
program  at  8  P.  M.  afforded  music,  brief 
remarks  and  introductions  of  key  University 
personnel  as  well  as  distinguished  guests. 
Mr.  Norman  Klauder,  president  of  the 
Fathers'  Association,  presided.  A  welcome 
by  John  Z.  Jacoby  '56,  president  of  the  Stu- 
dent-Faculty Congress,  was  followed  by  mu- 
sic of  the  Bucknell  University  Women's  Glee 
Club  directed  by  Professor  Allen  W.  Flock 
of  the  Music  Department.  President  of  the 
University  Merle  M.  Odgers  spoke  briefly 
before  the  presentation  of  the  Booster  Club 
plaque  by  Mr.  John  Hayes,  Booster  Club 
president,  to  Ralph  A.  Cooper,  Esq.,  of  New 
Castle.  Mr.  Cooper  will  head  the  Fathers' 
.Association  for  the  1955-56  school  year.  He 
is  the  father  of  Jeanne  E.  Cooper,  a  senior 
in  the  education  curriculum ;  his  daughter 
Mrs.  Ann  Cooper  Nixon  received  her  Buck- 
nell A.B.  in  1951.  .After  introductions  by 
the  master  of  ceremonies,  the  assembly  heard 
the  Men's  Glee  Club  under  the  baton  of  Dr. 
Harold  E.  Cook.  The  entertainment  was 
brought  to  a  close  by  Mr.  George  Bailey 
'27,  "The  man  with  the  photographic  mind" 
who  presented  a  program  of  recollection 
achievement  and  memory  magic.

METROPOLITAN  NEW  YORK— The 

first  annual  freshman  reception  of  the 
Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of  Metropolitan 
New  York  was  held  on  September  8.  Mrs. 
Amorita  Sesinger  Copeland,  president  of 
the  club,  conducted  the  meeting  attended 
by  over  100  entering  freshmen  and  their 
parents  and  introduced  the  panel  of  pres- 
ent undergraduates,  who  then  spoke  brief- 
ly on  phases  of  student  life.  Following 
a  question  and  answer  period.  Buck  Shott, 
alumni  secretary,  briefly  presented  a  pic- 
ture tour  of  the  campus  and  university 
activities. 

The  program  was  conducted  in  the  audi- 
torium of  the  Esse  Building,  West  51st 
St..  which  was  made  available  to  the  club

PHILADELPHIA  —  The  Philadelphia 
Bucknell  Alumni  Association,  assisted  by  the 
South  Jersey  Club,  held  its  annual  "Splash" 
Party  for  incoming  Freshmen  at  the  Eastern 
Baptist  Theological  Seminary  August  29. 
Guests  were  greeted  by  Gladys  Murray  and 
her  committee  in  charge  of  registrations. 

Our  President  Bob  Dill  greeted  tire  incom- 
ing Freshmen  and  their  parents,  after  a 
brief  song  and  cheer  session  led  by  Vice 
President  Herb  Watson.  The  South  Jersey

Jersey  Club  activities  and  then  Buck  Shott 
presented  a  splendid  picture  of  Bucknell 
campus   life.     The  group  then   divided  into

men's  and  women's  panels  led  by  Jim  Tyson 
and  Alice  Roberts  respectively. 

Following  the  discussion  period,  guests  had 
an  opportunity-  to  swim  in  Eastern's  beautiful 
pool.  Refreshments,  in  charge  of  the  Bob 
Teters  assisted  by  Allen  Beck  were  served 
at  the  close  of  the  program.  Our  tlianks  go 
to  the  25  present  students  who  so  kindly  as- 
sisted in  answering  questions  and  entertain-

ROCKY  MOUNTAIN— A  round-up  of 
Bucknellians  was  held  at  John  Rishel's 
cabin  in  the  Rockies  near  Georgetown, 
Colo.,  on  August  28.  John's  cabin  is  lo- 
cated about  16  miles  east  of  Loveland  Pass 
on  the  Continental  Divide,  altitude  11,992. 
Does  this  top  the  records  for  elevation  of 
club  meetings? 

Western  infornialitj-  was  the  order  of 
the  dav.  and  sniests  answered  the  call  with 


appetites  sharpened  by  the  mountain 
drive.  After  pot  luck  (Mrs.  Hulley's  pan 
full  of  fried  chicken  had  quickly  disap- 
peared, along  with  Marguerite  Rishel's 
delicious  apple  pie )  a  brief  meeting  was 
held  during  which  John  Rishel  '15  reported 
upon  his  flying  trip  east  when  he  visited 
the  campus. 

Newcomers  welcomed  were:  Mead  Ab- 
bott '48,  now  living  in  Denver;  Laura  Da- 
vis '55,  a  teacher  at  Kepner  Jr.  high 
school,  where  John  is  principal;  and  Sally 
Haven  '55,  a  secretary  with  United  Air- 
lines. Prof,  and  Mrs.  Karl  K.  Hulley  '18 
came  over  from  Boulder,  Colo.  Albert  J. 
Faraguna  '50  and  Marj-  Ann  Chiesa  Fara- 
guna  '49  drove  over  from  Estes  Park, 
Colo.,  with  their  three  children. 

Afternoon  activities  were  many  and  va- 
ried. Some  indulged  in  Izaak  Walton's 
favorite  sport;  Art  Rishel,  from  the  Camp 
Carson  Mountain  and  Cold  Weather 
Training  Command,  and  his  friend  Bob 
Hanson  landed  three  trout  in  a  short  time. 
Youngsters  busily  explored  John's  acres, 
and  investigated  the  entrance  to  a  nearby 
abandoned  gold  mine.  Ted  Grosvenor  '46, 
also  a  teacher  at  Kepner,  and  his  wife 
went  hiking  in  the  hills.  Target  shooting 
attracted  attention  from  our  Annie  Oak- 
leys. 

"The  uncquall'd  combination  of  hill, 
stone  and  wood"  in  the  "backbone  of  our 
hemisphere"  as  Walt  Whitman  so  aptly 
described  the  Rocky  Mountains  in  his 
Specimen  Days  in  America,  plus  congenial 
companions,  added  up  to  another  memor- 
able day  in  our  club  history.

NORTHERN  NEW  JERSEY— In  spite 
oi  the  willing  heat,  the  'xhaustiiig  traffic, 
and  the  absciite  of  many  vacationing 
membcrn.  the  Northern  New  Jcr.sey  club's 
August  20  picnic  was  a  cool  rirlaxiiig  Mie- 
ffsi,  Cooke's  I'ond  in  iJenville  helped 
many  alumni,  their  children  and  friends  to 
revel  in  some  healthy  niidsunimer  Hvviiii- 
min({  and  fun,  'I'oting  heavy  picnic  bas- 
.NOVKMBER  IMS 


kets,  battered  bathing  suits,  and  junior's 
"instruments"  fifty  families  managed  to 
outwit  the  wicked  heat  for  a  few  precious 
hours  that  Saturday  afternoon.  Really  old 
fashioned  picnics  complete  with  pickles 
and  poison  ivy  are  more  fun  than  most  of 
us  dreamed. 

With  our  first  year  "alone"  looming 
over  the  alumni  horizon,  the  New  Jersey 
group  is  brightly  enthusiastic  and  anxious 
about  meeting  Bucknellians  past,  present 
and  future.  Proof ;  The  autumn  season 
was  inaugurated  with  a  reception  for  en- 
tering Freshmen  Sunday  afternoon,  Sep- 
tember 11  at  the  Watchung  Presbj'terian 
Church  in  Montclair,  N.  J. 

Attended  by  at  least  130  future  Buck- 
nellians and  their  parents,  the  reception 
skipped  along  at  a  lively  pace  sparked  by 
laughter  as  well  as  seriousness.  After  club 
President  Dud  Waldner  welcomed  the 
■59'ers,  he  announced  the  panel  portion  of 
the  program  which  gave  the  Bucknell- 
ians-to-be  an  opportunity  to  become  ac- 
quainted. ^^'ith  the  informal  panel  and 
moderator  as  a  sounding  board,  they  ques- 
tioned and  listened  for  about  an  hour. 
This  period  seemed  to  leave  both  the 
Freshmen  and  their  parents  feeling  more 
confident  and  at  ease  about  approaching 
collegiate  careers. 

The  men's  panel  was  moderated  bj'  Dan 
Rothermel  '38,  vice-principal  of  Fairlawn 
High  School,  and  Jim  Izatt  '56,  Bob 
Landzettel  '57,  and  Herb  Kopp  '56  were 
the  speakers.  The  women's  comer  was 
conducted  by  Nancy  Barnes  '55,  Peggy 
Maddock  '56,  and  Vera  Mazzaro  '56.  Be- 
fore refreshments  were  served  a  prominent, 
active  Bucknellian  spoke  some  words  of 
wisdom.  Alumni  Secretary  "Buck"  Shott 
talked  to  everyone  briefly  about  the  enter- 
ing class  and  improvements  on  campus. 

Considering  this  was  a  "first  try",  the 
Freshman  Reception  was  truly  a  worthy 
and  gratifying  experience  for  Bucknell- 
ians old  and  new.  If  smiling  faces  and 
eager  "thanks"  are  any  indication  of  the 
future,  we  all  can  feel  confident  that  the 
campus  will  continue  to  be  led  and  en- 
joyed by  healthy,  intelligent  young  Amer- 
icans. 

Midst  cheery  candlelight  and  crispy 
fried  chicken  about  forty  Bucknellians 
gathered  at  the  Friar  Tuck  in  Cedar 
Grove,  N.  J.  for  the  club's  first  '55  meet- 
ing. October  14th  brought  a  rainy  tropi- 
cal   surprise    to    Northern    N.    J.    dousing 


residents  and  electricity.  And  we  think 
we've  earned  the  distinction  of  being  the 
first  alumni  group  to  conduct  an  entire 
meeting  with  candles.  With  the  pine- 
paneled  rooms  of  Friar  Tuck's  Inn,  a 
delicious  feast,  and  lively  gay  people,  who 
could  possibly  miss   Robin   Hood? 

President  Dud  Waldner  welcomed  all 
and  short  reports  were  given  by  the  sec- 
retary and  the  treasurer,  Pete  Weiden- 
bacher.  While  cofifee  was  cozily  sipped 
our  guest  speaker.  Prof.  John  Gold  of  the 
Bucknell  math  department,  talked  about 
"Bucknell's  Heritage"  and  answered  many 
thoughtful  questions. 

Dud  announced  that  the  next  meeting- 
would  be  a  combined  dinner  affair  at  the 
Park  Sheraton  with  the  alumni  clubs  of 
New  York,  Long  Island,  and  Westchester 
on  February  9th.  Getting  to  New  York 
may  not  be  half  the  fun,  but  there's  an 
evening  wrapped  in  enjoyment  and  memo- 
ries waiting  for  you.

Strength  of  Grid  Team  Still  Questionable  After  Three  Contests 


BETTE   SKOW 

BU  Beauty  Featured  in  Sport 

Bette  Skow,  the  lovely  young  lady  who 
rhymes  with  snow,  is  one  of  the  very  few 
college  girls  throughout  the  nation  who  have 
been  chosen  to  compete  in  Sport  magazine's 
annual  Campus  Queen  contest.  And,  for- 
tunately for  Bucknell,  Bette  attends  Buck- 
nell. 

A  senior  from  Springfield,  Pa.  and  Buck- 
nell's  head  drum  majorette  for  the  past  three 
years,  Miss  Skow's  picture  graces  page  five 
of  the  November  issue  of  Sport.  She  is 
candidate  No.  3  for  the  Campus  Queen 
crown. 

Bucknell  students,  especially  the  male  pop- 
ulation, think  that  Bette  has  all  the  qualifi- 
cations for  a  campus  queen.  The  young  miss, 
who  turns  21  this  month,  has  beauty,  brains, 
leadership  ability  and — of  all  things — an  in- 
clination toward  athletics. 

Bette's  list  of  activities  at  Bucknell  runs 
to  almost  every  area  open  to  female  students 
and  she's  been  on  the  Dean's  Honor  List 
every  semester  to  date.  As  an  "athlete," 
the  brown-eyed  coed  is  a  three-year  veteran 
of  Bison  girls  basketball  all-star  team.  As 
a  high  schooler,  she  once  accounted  for  32 
of  the  45  points  scored  by  her  basketball 
team. 


Men's  Intramurals 

Although  it  is  a  bit  late,  it  may  be  news 
to  many  of  the  Phi  Kappa  Psi  alums  to 
know  that  the  Phi  Psi's  have  been  crowned 
1954-55  Bucknell  intramural  champions. 
They  can  now  claim  temporary  possession  of 
the  Ail-Year  Trophy  and  the  Dr.  Edward 
W.  Pangbura  Trophy. 

The  Phi  Psi's  nosed  out  Delta  Upsilon  for 
the  title  by  20  points  on  the  strength  of  four 
individual  trophies  and  outstanding  perform-

With  one-third  of  the  football  season  al- 
ready a  thing  of  the  past,  the  1955  Bucknell 
University  grid  combination  was  definitely  a 
team  with  a  number  of  possibilities,  many 
good  and  a  few  bad. 

The  Bisons,  with  Coach  Harry  Lawrence 
at  the  helm  for  the  ninth  straight  year, 
opened  the  campaign  against  Albright  Col- 
lege, certainly  the  weakest  team  on  a  tough, 
nine-game  slate.  Playing  somewhat  under 
wraps,  the  Orange  and  Blue  moved  to  a 
relatively  easy  25-14  triumph.  At  the  Her- 
shey  Chocolate  Bowl,  the  following  week, 
the  Herd  ran  into  a  fired-up  group  of  Get- 
tysburg Bullets  who  carried  Coach  John 
Yovicsin  off  the  field  on  their  shoulders  af- 
ter rolling  to  a  27-6  win.  Against  the  small 
but  slick  Bullets,  Bucknell  was  far  from  im- 
pressive. 

One  week  later,  at  Bethlehem,  the  Bisons 
came  to  life  and  extended  a  big  Lehigh  team 
almost  to  the  breaking  point  before  succumb- 
ing 27-20  in  a  contest  that  had  7,000  specta- 
tors sitting  on  the  edges  of  their  respective 
seats  throughout  most  of  the  second  half. 
Against  the  Engineers,  the  Herd  looked  like 
a  team  on  the  upgrade. 

With  three  contests  in  the  record  books 
Coach  Lawrence  could  list  the  Bison  pros 
and  cons,  then  look  back  a  few  weeks  and  call 
himself  a  prophet.  On  the  plus  side  Buck- 
nell could  point  with  pride  : 

1.  To  an  offense  that  had  been  able  to 
generate  power,  especially  on  the  ground. 

2.  To  the  line-bucking  ability  of  fullback 
Bob  Ford. 

3.  To  the  all-around  play  of  quarterback 
Jimmy  Stewart. 

On  the  other  side  of  the  page,  where  an 
equal  number  of  debits  stood  out  in  red  ink. 
Lawrence  found : 

1.  A  line  float,  althougli  spirited,  was  far 
from  outstanding. 

2.  A  general   weakness  on   defense. 

3.  Injuries  that  hindered  the  development 
of  the  team's  breakaway  backs. 

Bucknell's  offense  had  been  all  that  the 
coach  expected.  The  Bisons  rolled  up  the 
yards  against  Albright  with  relative  ease 
and  found  the  Lehigh  line,  rated  stronger 
than  Colgate's  by  Cornell  coach  Lefty  James, 
far  from  a  tough  nut  to  crack.  Although 
neither  fast  nor  tricky,  the  Herd  attack  was 
a  solid  tiling  devised  to  grind  out  yardage 
with  consistency. 

Ford,  a  200-pound  senior  from  Collings- 
wood,    N.   J.,   was   well   on   the   way   to  his 


greatest  gridiron  season  at  Bucknell.  The 
5-11  Bison  Thunderbird,  who  hits  like  a 
Mack  truck,  was  averaging  almost  four  yards 
per  carry  despite  the  fact  that  he  was  a 
marked  man  on  every  play.  Opponents  gear- 
ing for  Bucknell,  prepared  for  Ford,  and 
were  still  unable  to  halt  the  hard-hitting 
fullback.  Against  Lehigh,  Ford  carried  the 
ball  twice  as  many  times  as  any  other  Bison 
back  as  he  paced  the  Herd  to  three  touch- 
down marches. 

Stewart,  a  junior  from  Wayne,  Pa.,  di- 
rected the  Bisons  to  seven  of  their  first  eight 
touchdowns  of  the  campaign,  and  also  stood 
out  as  a  defensive  man  and  a  punter.  Against 
Lehigh  he  got  ofi  a  fine  46-yard  boot  that 
hiked  his  punting  average  to  38.0  yards-per- 
try. 

The  Bison  line,  which  could  not  claim  one 
1954  regular,  improved  during  each  of  the 
first  three  contests.  Mistakes  of  inexperi- 
ence that  were  made  against  Albright,  did 
not  return  in  the  Gettysburg  fray.  Against 
Lehigh  there  were  still  fewer  errors.  And 
never  was  there  a  lack  of  desire  on  the  part 
of  the  Herd  forwards.  The  question,  how- 
ever, was  whether  the  Bucknell  line  would 
improve  enough  to  stand  up  to  the  tough 
forward  bastions  featured  by  the  stronger 
opponents  on  the  latter  part  of  the  '55  grid 
slate. 

Bucknell's  defensive  weaknesses,  obvious 
against  Gettysburg,  diminished  against  Le- 
high as  the  line  began  to  jell.  A  continued 
resurgence  by  the  forwards  would  allow 
Lawrence's  four  "umbrella"  defenders  to  be 
more  wary  of  the  forward  pass,  a  weapon 
that  had  been  used  effectively  against  the 
Herd  in  the  early  contests. 

The  injury  bugaboo,  one  that  threatens 
coaches  and  teams  at  all  times,  did  not  play 
favorites  with  the  Orange  and  Blue.  Chuck 
Wagner,  a  fleet  halfback  who  ran  the  100- 
yard  dash  in  9.8  seconds  in  prep  school,  suf- 
fered a  shoulder  separation  during  pre-sea- 
son  drills  and  was  forced  to  sit  out  the  first 
three  contests.  Bob  Sierer,  a  Bison  main- 
stay at  halfback  for  the  past  two  years,  was 
slowed  almost  to  a  walk  by  the  continued  re- 
currence of  a  muscle  pull 

As  the  Thundering  Herd  embarked  on  the 
latter  two-thirds  of  the  season  it  had  one 
way  to  go,  up,  and  that  was  the  direction 
Harry  Lawrence  had  in  mind.  The  team 
was  aggressive,  with  power  in  the  backfield 
but  few  giants  up  front,  and  Harvard,  Col- 
gate and  Miami  were  peeking  out  from  un- 
der the  next  page  of  the  calendar. 


Basketball  Squad  Drills  For  21- 

Despite  the  fact  that  footballs  still  fill 
the  air  at  Memorial  Stadium  practice  field, 
basketball  stuck  its  foot  into  the  athletic  door 
at  Bucknell  this  week  when  Coach  Ben 
Kribbs'  Bison  hoopsters  began  drilling  in 
Davis  Gymnasium. 

The  Orange  and  Blue  court  squad,  which 
should  be  much  longer  on  height  and  depth 
this  season,  plays  a  21 -game  slate  and  com- 
petes in  the  annual  Hofstra  Tournament  at 
Hempstead,    N.    Y.    from    December   27-30. 


ances  in  other  sports.  Phi  Kappa  Psi  copped 
titles  in  soccer,  wrestling,  boxing  and  track.

Pool  Next  Step  in  Second  Century  Development 


oii'^A  .-

i-tj. 


Architect's  drawing  shows  proposed  swimming  pool  as  a  third  wing  {at  right)  of  Davis  Gymnasium. 
It  is  hoped  that  the  front  of  the  gymnasium  may  be  added  at  some  future  dote. 


Construction  of  a  swimming  pool  at  Buck- 
nell  University,  the  gift  of  two  trustees  of 
the  university,  is  expected  to  start  this  fall, 
with  completion  scheduled  by  next  Septem- 
ber. The  pool  will  be  made  possible  by  the 
generositv  of  -\.  Guv  Freas  of  Tenafiy,  N.  J., 
and  Robert  L.  Rooke  '13,  of  Westfield,  N.  J., 
who  have  donated  the  necessary  funds. 

Mr.  Freas,  the  father  of  two  recent  Buck- 
nell  graduates,  made  a  substantial  contribu- 
tion last  year  towards  the  cost  of  the  pool 
and  he  and  Mr.  Rooke  have  volunteered  to 
provide  the  remainder  of  the  amount  that 
will  be  needed. 

J.  Frederick  Larson,  Bucknell's  architect, 
is  completing  working  plans  for  the  pool, 
based  on  conferences  with  the  director  of 
physical  education  and  other  officials  who 
have  made  an  extensive  survey  in  order  to 
determine  the  type  of  pool  which  will  best 
serve  the  University's  2,000  students. 

This  survey  has  included  visits  to  a  num- 
ber of  colleges  at  which  pools  have  been  put 
into  operation  recently,  in  order  to  study  the 
relative  advantages  and  disadvantages  of 
each. 

After  the  working  plans  have  been  ap- 
proved by  the  donors  and  cost  figures  ob- 
tained, the  contract  will  be  let  as  soon  as 
possible. 

The  pool,  which  will  be  available  for  both 
men  and  women  students  of  the  University, 
will  form  a  third  wing  of  the  present  Davis 
Gymnasium.  A  second  wing  was  added  to 
the  back  of  the  building  this  summer  in  the 
form  of  a  field  house,  which  will  be  used 
temporarily  for  chapel  purposes. 


Ralph  E.  Jones  '50  Establishes 
The  Richardson  Memorial 

Former  students  of  our  beloved  Profes- 
sor, C.  H.  Richardson,  continue  to  ex- 
press their  appreciation  for  the  contribu- 
tion he  made  not  only  to  their  college 
training  but  to  the  hiRh  ideals  which  were 
so  much  a  part  of  his  teaching. 

Ralph  E.  Jones,  A.B.  '50,  M.A.  '51,  a 
former  student  and  now  a  professor  of 
mathematics  at  Valley  Forf,'e  Military 
Academy,  decided  to  do  something  con- 
crete to  memorialize  his  close  association 
anrl  friendship  with  Doctor  Richardson. 
During  his  attendance  at  Buckncll,  Ralph 
studied  all  of  the  courses  that  Doctor 
Richardson  offered.  He  also  bad  the  op- 
portunity to  serve  as  an  assistant  in  the 
mathematics  department  while  doin({  his 
graduate  work. 

How  Mr.  Jones  came  to  establish  the 
Richardson  Memorial  Award  at  Valley 
ForKc  Military  Ararlmiy  bears  testimony 
to  Doctor  Richardson's  xf'^af  tcachinj: 
and  counselling,  and  can  best  be  told  by 

NOVKMBKR  lO.VI 


quoting  directly  from   Ralph   E.  Jones  as 

follows : 

"I  have  been  teaching  in  the  second- 
ary school  at  Valley  Forge  since  1951, 
and  I  can  truthfully  say  that  few  days 
pass  that  I  do  not  draw  upon  the  lessons 
that  I  learned  in  Dr,  Richardson's  class- 
room. Naturally,  you  don't  teach  in- 
tegral calculus  and  advanced  statistics 
to  high  school  students,  but  many  of 
the  finest  lessons  I  learned  from  this 
gentleman  were  not  concerned  with 
mathematics.  By  his  genial  manner  and 
gentle  humor,  he  taught  a  profound 
philosophy  of  how  to  live  and  teach. 

"When  Professor  Richardson  passed 
away  this  spring,  I  wanted  to  make 
some  gesture  that  would  perpetuate  his 
memory  as  a  teacher  and  a  friend. 
When  I  suggested  establishing  an  an- 
nual prize  in  mathematics,  our  Super- 
intendent, General  Milton  Baker,  was 
congenial  to  the  idea.  The  award  will 
be  made  to  that  student  of  our  graduat- 
ing class  who  has  attained  the  highest 
average  in  mathematics  during  his  sec- 
ond and  first  class  years.  A  carved 
wooden  plaque,  now  in  preparation,  will 
be   placed   in    Shannon    Hall,   our   main 


The  Foundation  lor  Independent 
Colleges,  Inc.,  of  Pennsylvania,  of 
which  Buckncll  is  a  member,  has  re- 
ported that  133  contributions  for  a 
total  of  $172,340  were  received  dur- 
ing the  fiscal  year  1954-55.  These 
figures  represented  a  46%  increase 
in  contributions  and  a  177%  increase 
in  dollars  over  the  previous  year. 

The  net  results  of  this  annual  so- 
licitation of  business  and  industry 
are  apportioned  among  Ihe  38  mem- 
ber colleges  in  three  ways.  One- 
third  of  the  total  is  divided  equally; 
one-third  is  divided  on  the  basis  <if 
enrollment;  one-third  is  divided  on 
the  basis  of  a  formula  that  is  influ- 
enced by  the  individual  college's 
ability  to  help  itself  through  contri- 
butions from  alumni  and  friends. 

During  the  three  years  that  lln' 
b'oundation  has  been  in  operation, 
Biicknell  has  received  a  total  of 
$0,948,99  and  it  is  interesting  to  note 
the  progress  made  during  that  pe- 
riod by  the  fart  that  BiickneH's  re- 
'cipts  from  this  source  have  more 
than  rloublcfl  each  year.  The  first 
year  Buckncll  received  $718,82;  the 
second,  $1,6.39.89  and  last  v<:ir.

son, Ph.D.,  Professor  of  Mathematics  at 
Bucknell  University  1928-1955. 

"  'Each  year  a  brass  plate  will  be  af- 
fixed to  the  plaque  bearing  the  name  of 
that  year's  winner.  The  award  for  1955 
was  made  to  Cadet  Harvey  Habib,  a 
student  from  Havana,  Cuba. 

"  T  am  grateful  for  an  opportunity  to 
thank  Bucknell  and  those  who  taught 
me  there.'  " 

Bucknell  salutes  alumnus  Jones  who 
recognizes  the  benefits  he  received  from 
the  University  and  from  one  of  her  great- 
est  teachers.

phia,  met  two  Ihicknellians  who,  <K'spite 
many  years,  still  retain  mn-  friendly  "Hello" 
spirit.  It  was  during  the  few  days  spent  in 
Oslo,  Norway,  that  she  met  Mrs.  Mabel 
Slout  Weeter  '09.  She  was  touring  the  fa- 
mous park  in  which  are  Vigcland's  famous 
Staines.  Hearing  a  friendly  voice,  she  turned, 
and  as  usual  they  began  Ici  discuss  the  weath-

AMONG  THE  CLUBS 

(Continued  from  Page  5) 
HARRISBURG  — The  first  fall  dinner 
meeting  of  the  Harrisburg  Bucknell  Club 
was  held  on  Thursday,  October  6  at  the 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  President  Jack  Miller  opened 
the  meeting  by  asking  Mr.  Saylor  to  give 
the  'invocation.  Twenty-three  members 
were  present. 

After  dinner,  Bruce  Butt  presented  his 
information  report  concerning  the  present 
activities  taking  place  at  Bucknell,  as  well 
as  the  current  news  of  Bucknell  Alumni. 

Dr.  Eugene  P.  Bertin  introduced  our 
speaker,  Mr.  David  T.  Stafford,  director 
of  research  of  the  P.  S.  E.  A.,  who  pre- 
sented a  research  synopsis  as  applied  not 
onlj'  to  education,  but  to  life  in  general. 
His  topic  was  followed  by  a  film,  "Johnny 
Keystone's   School   Report." 

A  discussion  period  followed  Mr.  Staf- 
ford's presentation. 

— Norma  Gotwalt  '52.  Secretary. 


SHAMOKIN-MT.  CARMEL— About  40 
alumni  and  parents  met  at  the  Penn  Lee 
Hotel,  Shamokin,  on  October  12  to  hear 
Dr.  Harold  W.  Heine,  professor  of  chem- 
istry at  Bucknell,  present  his  illustrated 
address  on  The  Tetanus  Research  Pro- 
gram Conducted  at  The  University.  Buck 
Shott,  alumni  secretary,  in  brief  remarks 
urged  alumni  in  the  region  to  become  ac- 
tive in  the  student  selection  program  now 
being  operated  in  a  number  of  alumni  club 
areas. 

Francis  F.  Reamer,  Esq.  '21,  president 
of  the  Shamokin  Club,  presided  at  the 
dinner  and  introduced  the  other  officers: 

Shamokin  —  Mrs.  Emery  Erdman 
(Gladys  Emerick  '23),  vice-president;  Miss 
Irene  Fritz  '19,  secretary. 

Mt.  Carmel — Harry  W.  Jones  '23,  presi- 
dent; Frank  S.  Bartosawicz  '23,  vice-pres- 
ident; Mrs.  Harry  W.  Jones  (Elizabeth 
Moore  '24),  secretary-treasurer. 

WESTERN  PENNSYLVANIA— Again, 
Western  Pennsylvania  Bucknellians  re- 
sponded to  the  call  and  on  Sunday,  Sep- 
tember 11,  revisited  the  rolling  country 
acres  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  J.  Norman  Davies 
'26  to  attend  the  annual  Alumni  picnic. 
Norm's  farm  has  become  the  traditional 
locale  of  this  perennial  affair  and  quite 
probabljr.  our  members  turn  out  with  con- 
tinued enthusiasm  because  of  the  amia- 
ble atmosphere  created  by  the  genial  host 
and  the  ever  gracious  Mrs.  Davies. 

A  reception  for  entering  Freshmen  from 
the  area  and  their  parents  was  as  usual 
the  festive  theme  and  a  number  of  "green- 
ies"  and  their  parents  enjoyed  their  first 
brush  with  the  Bucknell  Way-of-Life. 

Fitz  R.  Walling  '46,  assistant  director  of 
admissions,  most  willingly  and  obligingly 
drove  down  from  the  campus  to  meet  the 
incoming  students.      Informal   discussions 


enlightened   them   generally  on   things   to 
come. 

Conversation  and  the  exchange  of 
newsy  items  were  sub-themes  of  the  day 
as  the  afternoon  wore  gayly  on. 

Due  to  the  industry  of  Floyd  L.  Arbo- 
gast,  Jr.  '40,  our  vice  president  and  picnic 
chairman,  all  were  well  fed,  well  enter- 
tained and  well  rewarded  for  attending. 

Time  ebbed,  but  not  the  spirit  as  Ole 
Sol  faded,  causing  retreat  at  a  reasonable 
hour.  Many  thanks  to  those  who  ap- 
peared and  to  those  whose  efforts  con- 
tributed to  a  most  delightful  occasion. 

— George  J.  Miller  '48,  President 


WESTCHESTER— About  75  alumni  and 
friends  of  Bucknell  University  met  Sep- 
tember 8  in  a  combined  freshman  recep- 
tion-charter night  party  of  the  new  Buck- 
nell Alumni  Club  of  Westchester.  Mr. 
John  F.  Zeller,  III,  assistant  to  the  Presi- 
dent of  Bucknell,  extended  greetings  on 
behalf  of  the  University  and  presented  the 
charter  to  the  newly  organized  group.  Wil- 
liam Wilkinson,  president,  accepted  the 
charter  for  the  club  and  welcomed  the 
new  Bucknellians  from  the  area  and  their 
parents.  After  a  brief  business  meeting, 
discussion  groups  were  organized  and  led 
by  current  students  giving  the  new  Buck- 
nellians a  little  preview  of  THE  BUCK- 
NELL WAY  OF  LIFE.  Afterwards,  re- 
freshments were  served. 

The  Westchester  Club  is  planning  a 
dinner-with-speaker  meeting  around  mid- 
November  and  expects  to  participate  with 
the  other  New  York  metropolitan  area 
clubs  in  the  annual  Bucknell  birthday 
party  early  February.  Bucknellians  in  the 
area  who  have  not  been  receiving  an- 
nouncements of  this  new  club's  activities 
are  urged  to  get  in  touch  with  William 
Wilkinson,  Two  Cowles  Avenue,  Rye, 
New  York. 

— William  M.  Wilkinson  '46,  President 


SYRACUSE— Our  fall  meeting  of  the 
Syracuse  Alumni  Club  was  held  on  Sep- 
tember 16  at  the  home  of  Dr.  and  Mrs. 
Ernest  S.  Cramer  '38.  Our  president,  Cal 
Sholl  '46,  presided  with  16  people  present. 
Robert  Engels  '49,  Rome,  N.  Y.,  came  the 
farthest  distance. 

It  was  decided  that  we  have  three 
Alumni  meetings  this  year:  this  being  the 
first  meeting;  the  second  being  our  Feb- 
ruary dinner  meeting  at  Martin's  Restau- 
rant; and  the  third  being  a  picnic  in  the 
spring. 

There  are  four  freshman  students  enter- 
ing Bucknell  this  year  from  this  area.  We 
are  going  to  invite  them  and  their  parents 
to  OUT  February  dinner  meeting. 

After  the  business  meeting,  a  pleasant 
social  hour  followed  with  delicious  re- 
freshments served  by  Rene  and  Ernie 
Cramer.  We  appreciated  their  opening  up 
their  attractive  home  for  our  meeting.

Engineers  to  Meet  November  5 

From  time  to  time  over  the  past  j'ear  ref- 
erences to  the  proposed  formation  of  an  or- 
ganization of  Bucknell  engineers,  similar  to 
the_ highly  successful  "Doctors  for  Bucknell" 
which  has  been  functioning  for  some  time, 
have  appeared  in  various  University  publi- 
cations. The  prime  purpose  of  the  proposed 
engineering  organization  is  the  advancement 
of  the  program  at  Bucknell.  particularly  by 
means  of  interesting  industrial  concerns, 
foundations,  and  others  in  providing  addi- 
tional equipment,  scholarships,  research  fel- 
lowships and  grants,  and  numerous  other  aids 


which  will  enlarge,  strengthen,  and  enrich  the 
work  of  the  engineering  department. 

The  initial  impetus  of  tliis  movement  was 
provided  by  several  prominent  Bucknell  en- 
gineering graduates,  led  by  Dr.  Earl  M. 
Richards  EE'13,  and  Dr.  Lester  E.  Lighten 
ME'20,  as  well  as  other  Bucknellians,  such 
as  Dr.  Bruce  J.  Miller  '27,  who,  although 
not  enrolled  in  the  engineering  courses  while 
undergraduates,  work  in  that  field  and  are 
vitally  interested  in  the  welfare  of  the  engi- 
neering program. 

Upon  taking  up  his  duties  in  the  newly  es- 
tablished position  of  Director  of  Engineer- 
ing, Admiral  Ernest  M.  Filer  conferred  with 
the  group  already  active  in  promoting  the 
much  needed  organization.  Plans  now  have 
crystallized  to  the  extent  that  informal  meet- 
ings of  interested  persons  have  been  held  in 
the  New  York  and  the  Philadelphia  areas. 
To  present  the  possibilities,  a  dinner  meeting 
has  been  arranged  for  Homecoming  evening, 
November  5  in  the  cafeteria  of  the  fine  new 
James  S.  Swartz  Hall. 

All  Bucknell  engineering  alumni  are  urged 
to  attend  and,  as  far  as  possible,  are  being 
especially  invited  by  means  of  letters,  with 
enclosed  reservation  forms.  Attendance  is 
not  limited  to  engineering  alumni  only,  as 
wives,  husbands,  friends,  and,  in  fact,  any- 
one interested  in  the  project,  is  invited  to 
attend.  Paid  in  advance  reservations  are 
necessary.  Anyone  not  receiving  reservation 
forms  may  obtain  tliem  by  contacting  the 
Chairman,  Engineering  Homecoming  Com- 
mittee, Engineering  Building,  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity, Lewisburg,  Pa.  Please  let  us  know 
early.

Air  Age  Education 
at  Bucknell 

The  Air  Age  Education  Workshop  is  a 
full-time  post-session  summer  course.  It 
is  designed  for  school  teachers  who  plan 
to  teach  aviation  subjects  or  form  aviation 

clubs. 


The  picture  shows  a  group  of  workshop 
members  on  a  field  trip  at  Olmsted  Field, 
Middletown,  where  they  were  shown  jet  en- 
gine assembly  and  types  of  military  aircraft. 

The  workshop  also  uses  an  airplane 
based  at  Lewisburg  to  make  flights  to 
other  points  of  aviation  interest. 

Major  Harwood  J.  Rhodes,  AFR.  a 
member  of  the  Bucknell  Class  of  1940, 
(left  on  picture)  served  his  fourth  year  as 
teacher  of  the  Air-Age  group.  During 
World  War  II,  he  was  a  Flying  Fortress 
pilot  and  director  of  combat  crew  ground 
training  at  an  Eighth  Air  Force  base  in 
England.

CLASS  REPORTS 


EMERITUS  CLUB 

The  Class  of  1898  and  Bucknell  Univer- 
sity were  sorr>-  to  learn  of  the  death  of 
Dr.  J.  G.  Lauderbaugh  in  Washington, 
Pa.,  on  June  5.  He  had  served  in  the  ac- 
tive ministry  for  40  years  and  served  as  a 
supply  pastor  for  about  20  years. 

S\Tnpathy  is  extended  to  those  who  sur- 
^^ve. 

Ruth  Sprague  Downs,  Xarberth,  was 
initiated  into  membership  of  the  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  chapter  at  Bucknell  University  on 
May  23.  She  was  graduated  from  Buck- 
nell in  1898  and  received  a  master's  degree 
in  1899.  A  former  high  school  teacher

We  were  saddened  to  learn  of  the  death 
of  Miss  S.  Elsie  Bentz  of  York,  last  July.

years,  and  after  his  retirement,  continued

Hamilton,  N.  Y. 


By  a  natural  mistake  the  retirement  of 
Mark  Baldwin  '11  from  the  Riverdale 
School  was  included  in  the  1907  class  notes 
in  the  September  ALUMNUS,  probably 
because  this  reporter  noted  the  story  in 
the  New  York  Times  and  sent  it  in.  We 
apologize  to  the  class  of  1911  for  seeming 
to  have  tried  to  kidnap  one  of  its  most 
brilliant  members. 

Two  more  members  of  our  class  have 
crossed  the  Great  Divide,  Peter  Garfield 
Cober,  known  to  the  family  as  (jarfield, 
and  to  the  class  as  Pete,  died  at  Somerset 
July  20  of  uraemic  poisoning  in  his  sev- 
enty-fifth  year. 

.After  attendance  at  the  Somerset  Coun- 
ty Normal  School  at  Berlin  and  the  Cali- 
fornia State  Teachers  College,  and  some 
years  of  teaching,  he  entered  Bucknell  to 
take  a  pre-law  course.  He  was  active  in 
class  affairs,  being  a  member  of  the  foot- 
hall  team  and  elected  sophomore  class 
president.  He  became  a  number  of  the 
Deinosthenean  Club  (later  afliliated  with 
Delta   Upsilon   Fraternity). 

-After  graduation  he  entered  the  law 
school  of  the  University  of  Pittsburgh  and 
was  granted  the  degree  of  LL.I!,  in  1912, 
He  began  the  practice  of  law  in  ,S(mierset 
and  continued  there  until  his  death.  H(r 
was  twice  elected  by  large  majorities  to 
the  office  of  District  Attorney  of  the  coun- 
ty. He  also  served  for  some  years  in  the 
I'ennsylvania  National  Guard,  and  was 
active  in  eduralioiiaj  work  during  World 
War   I. 


-Always  loyal  to  his  college  and  his  class, 
he  was  a  contributor  to  the  -Alumni  Fund 
from  the  year  of  its  establishment  and 
whenever  possible  attended  the  class  re- 
unions, his  last  having  been  that  of  1952, 

Garfield  was  a  member  of  an  old  Somer- 
set-Bucknell  family.  Following  his  uncle, 
the  Rev.  Dr.  Alvin  A.  Cober  '96  and  his 
brother  Emmanuel  "Gappy"  Cober  '98,  he 
was  followed  bv  Mrs.  Leo  L.  Rockwell  '07 
(■Vera  Cober  'ID,  Albert  Cober  '13,  the 
Rev.  Dr.  Kenneth  Cober  '24,  Mrs.  Preston 
Crane  (E.  Jean  Cober  '46)  and  Mrs,  Tack 
Hepfer  (Ellen  Cober  '50). 

He  is  survived  by  his  widow,  the  former 
Ida  Cook  of  Meyersdale,  whom  he  mar- 
ried in  1918. 

Word  has  been  received  also  of  the 
death  on  January  15,  1955,  of  Annie  Mar- 
tha Alexander  Stibgen.  -Although  Mrs. 
Stibgen  did  not  remain  with  us  until  grad- 
uation, and  although  her  home  was  in 
Seattle  and  later  in  other  communities  in 
the  State  of  Washington,  so  that  she  did 
not  get  back  to  class  reunions,  we  remem- 
ber her  and  extend  our  warm  sympathy 
to  her  husband,  Barr  S,  Stibgen,  in  his 
loss.

Lewisburg,  Penna. 


Our  class  and  Bucknell  lost  a  true 
friend  and  loval  alumna  with  the  death 
on  Sept.  10  of  Mrs.  Helen  Tiffany  Blake- 
more. 

Widowed  twice,  Helen  reared  a  fine 
family  and  attained  recognition  in  her 
career  as  a  teacher  of  high  school  mathe- 
niatics.  After  her  retirement  from  Read- 
ing Senior  High  School  in  1949,  she  con- 
tinued serving  young  people  on  the  staff 
of  the  Children's  Home  of  Harrisburg. 
Last  June  she  retired  from  that  position 
and  returned  to   Honesdale. 

Surviving  are  three  children:  Judson  T. 
Shaplin,  Cambridge,  Mass,;  Mrs.  Gilbert 
Zimmerman,  Harrisburg  and  Chief  Petty 
Ofiicer,  William  T,  Blakemore,  Sanford, 
Fla. 


\\  (■  iirol);ii>ly  all  know  lli.it  Clyde  Hos- 
tetter  had  to  undergo  an  operation  am|ni- 
tating  his  leg.  On  May  9tli  ;il'ter  an 
absence  of  nine  months  from  Iioine,  Clyde 
and  his  wife  Ida  landed  in  Winter  Park, 
l"la.,  where  the  ladies  of  Dale  Avenue 
welcomed  them,  lassoing  Clyde  with  a  lei 
and  bestowing  it  with  salutations  apfiro- 
priate  to  the  homecoming  occasion.  Clyde 
says,  "This  proves  that  one  can  rate  n  lei 
without  visiting  Hawaii," 

Clyde  is  still  doing  some  consulting 
work  and  writes  a  report  now  and  then; 

9 


he  also  is  using  woodworking  tools  mak- 
ing patterns   for  a   possible   new  product. 

All  members  of  1908  class  wish  more 
power   to    Clyde   in   his   marvelous    spirit. 

Our  good  friend  Walter  Noll  had  a 
stroke  a  year  ago  from  which  he  is  gradu- 
ally recovering.  Walter  and  Mary  are 
living  at  St.  Cloud,  Fla.,  and  are  planning 
to  stay  throughout  the  year.  Speedy  re- 
covery is  the  wish  of  us  all  for  Walter. 

A  note  from  Elsie  Owens  Long  tells  of 
the  death  of  her  husband.  Dr.  William  W. 
Long,  last  February  14.  We  extend  our 
deepest  sympathy  to  Elsie  on  her  loss.

We  were  grieved  to  learn  of  the  death 
early  this  spring  of  Dix  D.  Colvin,  hus- 
band of  Katherine  E.  Heinen. 

Another  of  our  classmates,  one  of  the 
athletes  in  our  class.  Eugene  L.  Martin, 
died  July  15,  in  Carlisle.  Eugene,  obligat- 
ed by  his  father's  death  to  leave  the  Uni- 
versity after  one  year,  became  a  newspa- 
per reporter  in  Franklin  and  later  joined 
the  staff  of  the  Philadelphia  North  Ameri- 
can. For  a  time  he  worked  as  special  re- 
porter for  stories  about  the  famous  Car- 
lisle Indian  School  football  team,  Jim 
Thorpe  and  Pop  Warner.  In  1915,  he  en- 
tered the  securities  business,  and  at  the 
time  of  his  death,  he  was  resident  mana- 
ger in  Carlisle  for  Eastman,  Dillon  & 
Company.  He  is  survived  by  his  daughter, 
Kathleen  M.  Martin,  assistant  manager 
of  Eastman,  Dillon  in  Carlisle  to  whom 
the  heartfelt  sympathies  of  the  class  and 
the  University  are  extended.

Another  of  our  1910ers,  Cameron  A. 
Butt,  retired  last  spring  from  his  position 
as  chief  estimator  in  the  mechanical  en- 
gineering division  of  Esso  Refinery  at 
Rahway,  N.  J.,  after  31  years  and  7 
months  of  service.  His  friends  at  "Esso" 
honored  him  with  a  farewell  dinner  and 
with  a  souvenir  booklet  depicting  the 
highspots  of  his  career. 

Gardening  at  his  home,  1068  Mt.  Ver- 
non Rd.,  Union,  N.  J.,  active  mernbership 
in  a  Masonic  Lodge  and  in  American  Le- 
gion East  Orange  Post  73,  should  keep 
him  busy  and  happy.  Best  wishes  to  "Cy", 
one  time  Bucknell  track  captain,  and  his 
wife,  the  former  Edna  FoUmer  '22,  for 
all  the  joys  of  retirement. 

We  are  pleased  to  announce  the  appoint- 
ment of  Homer  D.  Kresge,  64  Main  Ave., 
Ocean  Grove,  N.  J.,  as  class  fund  manager. 
Weaver  W.  Pangburn,  who  has  served 
long  and  well  as  leader  of  our  fund  rais- 
ing efforts,  has  established  a  fine  record 
of  annual  giving  of  which  many  class- 
mates can  be  proud.  Under  Weaver's 
guidance  our  record  has  risen  from  18 
contributors  (20%  of  participation)  in  the 
first  full  year  of  the  Bucknell  Alumni 
Fund  to  31  contributors  (37%  of  partici- 
pation) in  the  1954-55  year.  In  each  year 
our  Class  of  1910  has  exceeded  the  per- 
centage for  the  general  alumni  group. 
Thank  you.  Weaver,  for  j'our  reminders. 
Now  let's  all  get  back  of  Homer's  efforts 
and  show  him  that  we  can  reach  at  least 
50<5I    of  participation  this  year.

MRS.  H.  W.  HODSEKNECHT 
(Maze  Callahan) 
108  W.  Penn  Street 
Muncy.  Penna. 


In   late    summer   the   newspapers    print 
such    items    "What    the    Coed    Needs" — 

10 


wardrobe,  luggage,  furnishings  for  her 
room  as  matching  end  tables  to  be  used 
near  her  favorite  chairs,  floor  lamps,  dra- 
peries to  harmonize  with  the  rug,  nests  of 
ash  travs,  etc.  It  always  gives  me  such  a 
laugh  and  at  the  same  time  it  brings  back 
memories  of  47  years  ago,  when  we  en- 
tered Bucknell. 

I  think  it  would  be  interesting  to  this 
generation  to  know  how  we  lived  at  the 
Sem  for  4  years.  Each  girl  had  a  trunk 
which  contained  her  worldly  possessions. 
I  can  still  see  the  expressman  carrying 
them  to  the  various  rooms  for  50  cents.  In 
this  trunk  were  a  few  pictures  for  the 
wall,  photographs  of  our  loved  ones,  a 
B.  U.  pennant,  chafing  dish,  couch  cover 
used  to  adorn  the  trunk  for  seating  pur- 
poses, bed  linen,  towels,  extra  blanket, 
dresser  scarf,  a  couple  of  sofa  pillows, 
then  all  our  clothes  until  Thanksgiving. 

The  girls  wore  skirts  and  shirtwaists 
with  high  stiff  collars,  a  bow  stretched 
across  the  front  as  a  tie.  We  also  wore 
Pete  Thompson  suits  with  the  regulation 
sailor  collars  both  in  cotton  and  wool, 
high  shoes,  long  underwear,  one  coat  and 
hat  for  classes,  maybe  one  sweater,  a 
better  outfit  for  Sunday.  The  men  wore 
suits,  high  buttoned  shoes,  sometimes  a 
shirt  and  tie,  but  most  of  the  time  turtle- 
neck  jerseys. 

Our  day  began  with  a  rising  bell  at  6:45. 
A  little  old  janitor  walked  through  the 
hall  performing  this  duty.  Breakfast  was 
at  7:15,  classes  at  8:00,  study  periods  in 
the  library,  lunch  12:30,  and  classes  in  the 
afternoon  which  ended  around  4:00.  Then 
we  were  allowed  to  walk  down  town,  look 
over  the  situation,  back  for  dinner  at  5:45. 
That's  the  last  breath  of  air  we  got  till 
the  next  morning.  Two  or  three  times  a 
week  for  dinner  we  changed  our  school 
clothes  for  a  simple  dress.  After  dinner 
we  went  to  the  old  gymnasium  to  dance 
with  the  girls.  Chapel  at  6:45 — after  this 
we  went  to  our  rooms  to  study  (undis- 
turbed) till  9:00.  As  soon  as  we  reached 
our  rooms  we  put  on  a  nightgown,  kimo- 
no and  slippers.    Lights  out  at  9:30. 

Our  rooms  were  very  meagerly  fur- 
nished. A  wall  bed,  dresser,  rug,  table 
and  one  chair.  A  light  hung  from  the 
ceiling.  We  bought  our  own  curtains  for 
the  windows:  also  a  rocking  chair. 

We  were  allowed  to  have  so  many  piec- 
es in  the  laundry.  On  Saturday  we  could 
go  to  the  laundry  to  wash,  iron,  and  press 
our  clothing.  We  washed  our  handker- 
chiefs in  the  bowl  in  the  bathroom,  then 
pasted  them  on  the  windows  to  dry.  Dry 
cleaners  did  not  do  a  rushing  business. 

Saturday  evening  was  calling  night.  If 
you  had  a  date,  the  maid  would  bring  a 
card  to  your  room.  You  would  walk 
down  the  stairs,  grab  your  man  and  enter 
the  large  parlor  which  contained  several 
settees.  If  you  were  lucky  enough  to  be 
first  you  would  turn  your  sofa  to  the  wall 
and  proceed  to  hold  hands.  If  you  were 
a  trifle  late,  you  sat  on  straight  chairs  the 
entire  evening.  At  the  appointed  hour  of 
10:00  dear  old  Tommy  Edwards  would 
come  to  t!ie  door  and  say  "Gentlemen,  I 
hope  you  have  had  a  pleasant  evening." 
The  fellows  shuffled  their  feet  and  de- 
parted. 

No  one  displayed  too  much  cash.  Our 
tuition,  books,  food,  clothing,  and  shelter 
were  paid.  On  Saturday  morning,  if  we 
were  fortunate  enough  not  to  have  an 
8:00  class,  we  slept  in.  Later  we  went 
down  to  Mrs.  Huth's  for  breakfast.  She 
was  a  kind  lady  around  50,  who  had  a  tea 
room.  She  would  serve  us  two  eggs  on 
toast  with  an  extra  slice  of  toast,  buttered 
too,  a  cup  of  coffee  for  $.15. 

The  big  social  function  of  the  year  was 
the  college  girls'  reception  in  March.  This 
was  held  in  the  chapel,  of  course,  decorated 


in  cjuite  a  festive  manner.  All  the  girls 
had  evening  gowns,  some  with  trains.  The 
boys  wore  tails,  some  owned,  some  bor- 
rowed, some  rented.  As  I  said  most  of 
the  girls  wore  long  underwear,  so  we  were 
not  allowed,  according  to  our  parents,  to 
remove  them  entirely,  so  we  cut  out  the 
neck,  the  sleeves  off  at  the  shoulders,  the 
legs  at  the  knees. 

There  were  133  when  we  entered  in 
1908.  As  far  as  we  know,  39  have  passed 
away.  The  rest  of  us  to  my  knowledge 
are  rugged  and  handsome,  no  aches  nor 
pains,  all  taking  vitamins,  all  "raring"  to 
get  ready  for  our  4Sth  Reunion  in  1957.

After  a  period  of  temporary  illness  C. 
Baker  Bernhart  reports  satisfactory  im- 
provement and  resumption  of  work  again. 
This  is  good  news  to  all  classmates.  He 
hopes  to  be  in  Lewisburg  for  Homecom- 
ing. "Bake's"  address  is  1042  W.  Market 
St.,  York,  Penna. 

Writing  of  his  change  of  pastorate  from 
Clarion,  to  the  Waring  Baptist  Church, 
in  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  George  Haines  tells 
of  his  new  parish:  "The  Waring  Baptist 
is  a  New  Frontier  church."  A  native  of 
Winfield,  George  added  that  when  he  gets 
around  to  retirement  he  and  Mrs.  Haines 
may  come  back  to  Lewisburg  to  live  for 
the  100  mark.   A  grand  idea,  Rev.  George! 

Just  one  day  before  deadline  your  re- 
porter enjoyed  a  pleasant  afternoon  call 
from  Belinda  Potter.  With  a  friend  from 
her  town,  Centre  Hall,  she  was  enjoying 
an  autumn  drive  into  Union  County,  home 
of  Bucknell,  Alma  Mater  of  us  all.  Belin- 
da is  a  loyal  Bucknellian,  living  almost 
in  the  shadow  of  Penn  State.  Next  best 
thing  to  a  call  is  a  letter  from  each  of  you. 

Leslie  Stout  has  not  been  up  to  physical 
par  for  a  year  or  more,  result  of  surgery. 
Though  handicapped  and  incapacitated  to 
a  degree,  "Les"  could  still  pen  a  cheerful 
note  to  Marwood  Glover  telling  of  his 
hope  to  join  classmates  at  Commencement 
time  in  'b6. 

The  November  issue  being  the  last  be- 
fore the  holidays,  though  writing  this  ac- 
count in  early  October,  your  reporter 
greets  you  with  his  wishes  for  a  Merry 
Christmas  and  hale  and  heartv  health  to

(Editor's  Note) 

As  you  see  by  the  heading  of  this  col- 
umn, the  Rev.  Eric  A.  Oesterle  has  agreed 
to  serve  as  class  reporter  to  replace  Mrs. 
George  Stevenson  (Amy  Patterson)  who 
is  not  well  enough  to  continue  her  task  as 
class  reporter.  Eric  will  appreciate  your 
news  notes  sent  him  to  the  above  address. 
All  news  will  be  appreciated,  but  let's 
make  next  issue  a  special  report  on  grand- 
children. Just  send  Eric  a  post  card  list- 
ing your  score   in  the  grandchild  derby. 

We  received  some  news  from  Ruth  Wil- 
liams, wife  of  Albert  J.  Hamlin  '15.  She 
now  has  eight  grandchildren,  including 
three  Brazilian  granddaughters.  Those 
grads  interested  write  120  Weldy  Avenue, 
Oreland,  Penna.

In  answer  to  my  letter  to  Fountain 
Burlew,  I  received  the  sad  news  that  he 
had  passed  away  on  July  27,  1955.  I  have 
extended  the  sympathy  of  our  class  to  his 
widow  who  was  kind'  enough  to  answer 
my  letter.  After  leaving  Bucknell,  Foun- 
tain graduated  in  dentistry  from  the  Uni-

CONTRIBUTORS  1954-1955 

Gifts  Received  from  July  1,  1954  to  June  30,  1955 

The  following  Is  a  list  of  the  names  of  ALUMNI,  FACULTY,  FRIENDS,  and  PARENTS  who  made  contributions  to  the  University  dur- 
ing the  SEVENTH  FUND  YEAR  1954-1955.     Names  of  PARENTS  who  contributed  to  the  FATHERS'  LOYALTY  FUND  are  listed  on  page  21. 

As  a  result  of  their  generosity  the  funds  have  reached  a  total  beyond  any  previous  year!  This  report  is  dedicated  to  these  "Bucknell 
Partners"  in  the  hope  that  they  will  be  accorded  some  measure  of  the  recognition  they  so  richly  deserve. 

Extreme  care  has  been  taken  with  the  preparation  of  these  lists,  but  some  errors  and  omissions  are  inevitable.  It  will  be  greatly  ap- 
preciated if  you  will  bring  such  errors  to  the  attention  of  the  ALUMNI  OFFICE.  Gifts  received  since  July  1,  1955,  will  be  credited  to  the 
Eighth  Fund  and  the  donors'  names  will  appear  on  the  Eighth  Fund  list,  to  be  published  in  November  1955.  The  numbers  in  parentheses  fol- 
lowing the  names  of  givers  Indicate  the  number  of  years  of  continuous  giving.  Bucknell's  endowment  is  small.  Continuous  annual  giving  is 
emphasized  because,  under  the  "living  endowment"  principle,  an  annual  gift  from  every  alumnus  represents  the  return  (at  4%)  on  endow- 
ment the  University  does  not  possess.

WHAT   IS  THE  ALUMNI   FUND? 

The  plan  for  the  Bucknell  Alunnni  Fund  Is  simple.  Alumni  dues  and 
magazine  subscriptions  have  been  discontinued.  Every  alumnus  and  friend 
of  Bucknell  is  invited  to  contribute  annually  to  the  University  for  current 
operations.  Each  person  contributing,  no  matter  what  the  amount,  will  be 
listed  as  a  donor  in  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS. 

The  amount  contributed  to  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  alone  this  past 
year  equals  the  return  on  almost  $850,000  of  invested  endowment.  By  their 
increasing  support  of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund,  alumni  and  friends  can 
moke  it  more  and  more  a  substantial  "living  endowment."

versity  of  Pennsylvania  in  1919.  He  prac- 
ticed dentistr}-  in  Matawan,  N.  J.  for  35 
years.  He  was  first  married  in  1922  and 
had  one  son,  Robert,  who  is  a  physician. 
Bob  has  two  children.  Mrs.  Burlew  ex- 
tends her  best  wishes  to  us  for  a  successful 
40th  reunion  in  '57. 

LeRoy  P.  Calkin  tells  me  he  was  mar- 
ried in  1925  to  Dorothy  Liggett  of  Canton. 
Ohio.  They  have  one  daughter,  Carol, 
who  graduated  from  Oklahoma  Univer- 
sity in  1952.  She  is  married  to  a  Presby- 
terian minister  and  lives  in  Midland,  Tex- 
as. She  has  one  daughter.  LeRoy  lives 
in  Bartlesville,  Okla.,  and  is  employed  by 
the  Phillips  Petroleum  Co.  He  is  round- 
ing out  his  30th  year  and  is  looking  for- 
ward to  retiring"  in  the  not  too  distant 
future.  Sometime  ago.  Scow  Garner  '18 
and  Ames  Lawrence  '19  were  working 
down  in  his  neighborhood  but  lie  hasn't 
seen  them  for  quite  a  while.  A,  M.  Ripple 
'20,  formerh-  of  Milton,  is  the  onh-  other 
Bucknellian  living  in  that  area  now.  Le- 
Roy says,  "can  we  visualize  him  as  a  min- 
ister's father-in-law?"  Well  it's  hard,  but 
I  think  I  can — Good  luck  LeRoy.  Write 
soon  again. 

Betty  Redelin  (Mrs.  Roscoe  Davis) 
made  me  very  happy  with  a  quick  answer 
to  my  letter.  She  said  it  set  up  a  long- 
chain  of  happy  memories  of  our  wonderful 
days  at  Bucknell.  Ross  and  Betty  say 
they  lead  a  verj-  happy  but  uneventful  life 
together.  They  have  one  daughter,  Betty 
Davis  Mc\'icker  '39,  who  lives  about  IS 
miles  from  them.  She  has  three  wonder- 
ful children.  Kathv,  14,  Richard,  12,  and 
David,  9.  The  Davises  live  at  17  Mitchell 
Drive.  Pittsburgh  16. 

The  following  fine  account  about  Clin- 
ton Sprout  who  lives  in  Hightstown,  N.  J. 
wa>  sent  in  to  the  oflice  by  a  friend.  "In 
1921  I  Kink)  as  he  is  known  to  all  here — 
arrived  at  Peddie  where  he  became  En- 
plish  master  and  pioneer  of  Peddie  swim- 
ming. 

"Recently  Kink  decided  it  was  time  to 
step  down  as  swimming  coach  after  thirty 
years  of  building  Peddie  swimming  teams, 
starting    literally    from    scratch. 

"Kink's  '53  team  won  the  eastern  cham- 
pionship after  having  been  state  champions 
in  '52. 

"Kink  also  coached  baseball  for  20  years 
and  produced  many  outstanding  players 
including  a  major  Itagucr,  George  Case." 

Kink  is  married  to  Elizabeth  Hahn  '18 
and  they  with  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Carl  Geiger 
'15  attended  one  of  our  Philadel]jhia  liuck- 
nell  Birthday  parties  several  years  ago. 
It  was  so  nice  to  sec  them.  So  nice,  in 
fact,  that  the  next  day  Tip  and  I  drove 
up  to  HiKhstown  to  see  them  again,  and 
incidentally,  to  collect  Tip's  overcoat  and 
return  Mrs,  Hahn's,  on  which  the  check 
Kirl   had   switched   tickets.     Some  fun!!

Lloyd  Garner  has  written  me  a  long  let- 
ter from  Amarillo,  Te.xas.  Upon  gradua- 
tion Lloyd  became  affiliated  with  the 
Cities  Service  organization  in  Bartlesville, 
Okla.,  where  our  former  varsity  basket- 
ball captain  organized  a  team  for  the  com- 
pany's employees  and  beat  "Phillips  66" 
for  city  championship.  Lloyd  worked  as 
operation  and  sales  manager  for  a  number 
of  companies  in  the  Cities  Service  organi- 
zation and,  although  he  sustained  a  broken 
neck  in  an  automobile  accident  in  1939,  he 
continued  with  the  Cities  Service  until  he 
retired.  Because  he  wished  to  be  active, 
Lloyd  entered  the  motel  business  and  now 
owns  The  Western  Motel  in  Amarillo.

swimming  and  boating  on  Lake  Winola, 
near  Scranton.  Eagle  Scout  William 
Speare  was  in  a  motorboat  when  he  saw 
two  people  struggling  in  the  water  about 
200  yards  away.  Bill  and  his  companions 
turned  the  boat  in  the  direction  of  the 
struggling  people,  and  Bill  jumped  in  to 
assist  Abina  Monacelli,  age  15,  who  was 
under  water. 

Mr.  John  N.  Bauman  was  recently 
elected  vice  president  of  the  White  Motor 
Co.,  in  Cleveland,  Ohio.  John  graduated 
from  Bucknell  with  a  degree  in  mechani- 
cal engineering.  He  has  been  with  the 
firm  since  1922.  At  college  his  classmates 
called  him  "Nevin"  and  he  is  best  remem- 
bered by  that  name. 

We  were  pleased  to  learn  of  the  recent 
appointment  of  William  E.  C.  (Doc) 
Speare  as  chief  probation  officer  of  the 
Middle  District  of  Pennsylvania,  United 
States  Court.  He  will  continue  to  have 
his  office  in  Scranton,  although  witli  his 
new  duties  he  will  handle  cases  from  the 
New  York  State  Line  to  the  Mason- Dixon 
Line.  In  addition  to  being  president  of 
the  Scranton  Alumni  Clul),  he  is  active 
in  the  Y.  M.  C.  A,  and  ISoy  Scout  pro- 
grams.

MR.  PHILIP  C.  CAMPBELL 
R.  D.  5 
Danville,  Penna. 


The  Class  of  1922  will  be  sorry  to  learn 
of  the  death  in  Cleveland,  Ohio,  of  Cart- 
wright  (Pinky)  M.  Hunter  on  August  6. 
He  had  been  in  ill  health  about  a  year  and 
succumbed  to  pneumonia  in  the  Huron 
Road  Hospital. 

Longtime  singer,  song  writer,  master  of 
ceremonies  and  sportscaster  with  WHK, 
he  served  for  the  past  decade  as  program 
director.  "Pinky"  matriculated  at  Buck- 
nell when  the  Student  Army  Training 
Corps  program  was  in  full  swing  and  dur- 
ing his  University  days  he  joined  Phi 
Kappa  Psi.  However,  he  left  the  campus 
for  the  Army  artillery  at  Camp  Taylor 
and  after  service  tenure,  he  began  achiev- 
ing recognition  as  banjoist  and  crooner 
with  leading  Ohio  orchestras.  His  out- 
standing radio  work  as  assistant  musical 
director  led  to  his  selection  as  sports- 
caster  for  the  Cleveland  Indians — assis- 
tant and  partner  of  John  (Jack)  Graney. 
"Pinky's"  sole  survivor  is  his  wife,  Kate. 
They  lived  at  2809  Van  Aken  Boulevard 
in  Cleveland. 

Brig.  Gen.  Harry  W.  Johnson  was  ap- 
pointed to  assistant  CG  of  the  Second 
Armored  Division,  as  CG  of  advance  sec- 
tion. Company  Z,  on  August  2.  In  World 
War  II  he  landed  at  Normandy  with  the 
XIX  Corps  and  in  October,  1944  became 
chief  of  staff  for  the  70th  Inf.  Div.  His 
combat  service  has  earned  him  the  Silver 
Star,  the  Legion  of  Merit,  the  Bronze  Star 
with  three  clusters,  the  Order  of  Leopold, 
and  the  Croix  de  Guerre  with  palm  from 
Belgium.  Johnson  earned  his  bachelor  of 
science  degree  in  electrical  engineering 
from  Bucknell  and  another  in  civil  engi- 
neering from  the  U.  S.  Military  Academy, 
from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1926.

The  Class  of  1924  and  the  L'niversity 
were  saddened  to  hear  of  the  death  of 
Daniel  Theodore  Geist  in  July,  after  a 
brief  illness,  in  Orlando,  Fla.  A  .graduate 
of  Bucknell  and  Indiana  State  Teachers 
College,  Mr.  Geist  was  employed  in  the 
decorating  d  e  p  a  r  t  m  e  n  t  of  the  Owens-

was  a  member  of  the  RPOK  in  Kissim- 
niee,  Fla.,  and  the  St.  Clone!  Lions  Club. 

Dr.  Henry  Benjamin  Mussina,  Williams- 
port, inventor  of  "screwy  lures"  has  for 
his  latest  invention  the  "caddis  worm" — 
a  non-poisonous  paslelike  m  i  .\  t  u  r  e  of 
chemicals  which  when  submerged  reacts 
lo  water  and  motivates  like  a  grub  worm. 
The  patent  is  pending  and  the  lure  is  fea- 
tured in  a  local  sporting  goods  store.  He 
has  several  dilfereiil  formulas  (o  represent 
a  grub,  slickworui,  red  worm,  salmon 
eggs,  larvae,  hellgramite.  Hies,  and  inch 
worm.  Henry,  forced  to  retire  from  his 
medical  practice  in  1951  after  several 
heart  attacks,  could  do  nothing  strenu- 
ous and  decided  to  develo|)  his  lure,  lie 
mixed  1,088  different  formulas  with  150 
different  diemicals  until  he  found  what 
lie  wanted, 

Henry's  daughter,  l)i;iiiM  Kay.  is  pres-

As  the  new  and  inexperienced  Class 
Reporter  for  1925,  please  help  me  to  stim- 
ulate interest  so  that  at  our  1960  Reunion 
we  will  have  a  real  bang-up  turnout.  L 
with  many  others,  returned  for  our  30th 
get-together,  and  it  was  mighty  fine  to 
erase  the  years  and  bring  back  the  fond 
memories  of  years  gone   by. 

Send  me  all  items  of  interest  and  let's 
find  our  missing  and  lost  members.  As  a 
starter,  does  anyone  know  the  addresses 
of  George  Beale,  Joseph  H.  Carson,  Ruth 
Lupoid,  or  Anne  Hobensack? 

My  apologies  to  you  all  for  the  absence 
of  a  letter  in  the  September  issue.  I  was 
traveling  in  Colorado,  visiting  my  sons, 
Dan,  who  was  at  Grand  Junction,  and 
Bob,  Bucknell  Class  of  1956,  who  is  still  at 
Lowry  Air  Force  Base.  I  arrived  home 
after  the  deadline  date  for  the  letter.

John  B.  Miller,  professor-  of  electrical 
engineering  at  Bucknell  University,  is 
holding  the  Frank  A.  Hoppe  Memorial 
Trophy,  which  he  was  awarded  recently 
as  winner  of  the  Pennsylvania  State 
Smallbore  Rifle  Championship.  His  win- 
ning score  of  3195  out  of  a  possible  3200 
points  is  the  highest  ever  fired  in  this 
annual  tournament.  He  is  the  13th  win- 
ner of  the  trophy.

Early  in  September  we  learned  that 
LeRoy  Horton  and  his  family  of  wife,  son 
and  daughter,  recently  returned  to  their 
home  at  341  Hawthorn,  Glen  EUyn,  111., 
after  taking  an  eight-week  tour  in  Europe. 
According  to  LeRoy,  (who  is  engaged  in 
the  heating  and  plumbing  industry,  being 
with  the  Lennox  Furnace  Co.  in  Chicago) 
the  plumbing,  heating,  and  sanitation 
standards  in  Europe  are  at  least  a  genera- 
tion behind  ours.  Quoting:  "In  many 
parts  of  Europe  the  American  tourist  is 
regarded  as  a  person  to  be  overcharged 
and  mined  for  gold.  We  have  the  equiva- 
lent of  scenery  and  historical  relics  in  our 


own  country,  so  why  should  we  be  inter- 
ested in  the  family  wars  of  ducal  families 
in  Italy,  and  Germany!"  Evidently  he 
agrees  heartily  with  Henry  Van  Dyke 
who  penned  America  for  Me  when  he 
chose  to  return  to  the  land  of  youth  and 
freedom   where   the   flag  is   full  of   stars! 

We  also  heard,  indirectly,  that  Mrs.  J. 
Leon  Merrick  (Grace  Milhous)  is  on  the 
planning  committee  in  charge  of  the  big 
anniversary  doings  held  at  Kennett 
Square,  (Penna.)  this  fall.  Perchance  she 
is  now  a  "Lady  of  the  Swish!" 

"Abe"  Sheckells  writes  from  826  West- 
cott  St.,  Syria,  N.  Y.,  that  he  is  still  a 
busy  pastor  and  has  been  for  the  past  five 
years  director  of  Christian  Education  for 
the  Massachusetts  Baptists  and  is  now 
serving  in  the  same  capacity  for  the  New 
York  Baptist  Convention.  Abe  is  the 
proud  father  of  three  children.

With  space  limited  last  issue,  I  was 
unable  to  tell  you  what  a  big  thrill  it  was 
for  those  of  us  who  were  there  to  see 
John  S.  Burlew  receive  his  honorary  de- 
gree from  Bucknell  University. 

I  received  a  most  interestmg  letter 
from  David  W.  Robinson  '04.  After  at- 
tending his  50th  Reunion  last  year,  he 
went  on  to  the  New  England  coast.  He 
was  taken  ill  at  Portsmouth,  N.  H.  and 
had  to  undergo  surgery.  His  first  caller 
was  Dr.  John  N.  Feaster,  pastor  of  the 
North  Church  and  a  member  of  the  hos- 
pital board.  Mr.  Robinson  had  so  many 
fine  things  to  say  about  John  that  they 
would  fill  a  page.  He  ended  his  letter  by 
saying  "if  he  is  a  fair  sample  of  your 
class,  you  can  indeed  be  proud."  So — 
we're  proud! 

We  regret  to  report  the  passing  of  D. 
Vincent  Smith,  the  father  of  Mrs.  John 
A.  Stoll  (Ruby  Eleanor  Smith),  Mr. 
Smith,  who  was  known  as  the  "cycling 
photographer,"  had  peddled  his  bicycle 
100,000  miles  over  a  period  of  55  years. 

Mrs.  Arthur  Kille  (Bertha  Gwen  Thom- 
as), with  her  husband,  is  operating  the 
Cozy  Rest  Motel  on  Benson  Highway  in 
Tucson,  Ariz.  Bucknellians  traveling 
through  her  beautiful  state  are  always 
welcome. 

Before  our  25th  Reunion  I  received  a 
long  letter  from  Airs.  William  C.  Shure 
(Ruth  Wentworth).  Ruth  says  during  the 
past  sixteen  years  she  has  been  trj'ing  to 
keep  up  with  a  perambulating  Army  chap- 
lain. To  date  they  have  lived  in  twenty- 
one  different  places  and  at  present  are 
located  in  Stutta;art,  Germany.  "The 
longer  I  live  outside  the  U.  S.  A.  the  more 
of  a  flag-waving  American  I  become," 
Ruth  maintains. 

We  were  proud  when  we  heard  Godfrey 
Frank  Zimmerman  had  been  advanced  to 
the  rank  of  lieutenant  colonel  in  the  Ma- 
rine Corps  Reserve.  Since  1949  he  has 
been  principal  of  Cranford  High  School, 
Cranford,  N.  J.

Nina  tells  me  John  Plewak  '41  (Buck- 
nell's  watch  char  m  guard)  is  one  of 
George's  assistants  in  football  and  equip-

him.

This  seems  to  be  a  shakedown  cruise 
for  the  news — for  the  next  twenty  years, 
We  should  all  give  Metta  Farrington 
Straley  a  vote  of  thanks  for  gleaning  the 
news  for  the  first  twenty.  The  Berlins 
did  a  terrific  job  on  our  reunion,  and  those 
of  us  who  braved  the  rains  were  thrilled 
to  sec  Bucknell  so  improved — made  us  all 
feel  like  dashing  out  and  enrollin.g  the 
offspring  and  sending  contributions  to  the 
.Mumiii   Fund — let's  do  it! 

We  were  all  glad  to  hear  that  Johnny 
Bergen  has  been  elecled  a  charter  member 
of  LilxTly  Mntual's  Lciders  CM).  Also 
heard  lliat  Mary  Ellen  Arner  tiingrich  has 
forsaken  teaching  to  care  for  daughter 
Marcy  Ellen. 

I  hear  by  the  grapevine  tliat  Bob  Lind- 
ner is  commuting  between  HallinKire  and 
Hollywood.  Seven  years  ago  Paramount 
bought  title  to  one  of  his  first  hooks  Rebel 
Without  a  Caii.ie.  The  movie  mags  are 
reporting  that  the  film  will  soon  be  out. 
Hob's  latest  book  on  the  shelves.  The  Fifty 
Minute  llonr  winild  certainly  provide  sev- 
eral inleriscly  exciting  stories  for  films. 
Bob  and  Johnny  Johnson  '.54  make  one  of 
Pjallimini's  iiKisI  liiispilable  teams. 

Our  rciinicin  fiiursonie  convinced  Her- 
mie  Umplcby  Lawrence  that  she  should 
iiiin  us  at  the  aluiiuii  luncheon  in  the  gym. 
It  was  a  very  impressive  affair  and  so 
gratifying  to  see  Bucknell  benefactors  so 
Kenerous.      I    spotted    the    youngest    Orr 

25 


grandchild,  Jim  Vanaman,  who  graduated 
this  year.  I'm  the  oldest — so  we  are  now 
alumni   twenty  years  apart. 

Have  you  heard  that  Bob  Wilson  and 
former  Peg  Huling  '33  have  a  son  at  An- 
napolis? Stop  in  sometime  Bob  and  Peg 
— we  live  just  14  miles  from  the  Naval 
Academy. 

For  up-to-the-minute  data  on  our  class, 
be  sure  to  get  the  reunion  book,  if  you 
haven't  already.  It  contains  an  amazing 
amount  of  information  and  interesting 
biographies   of   class   members. 

Stop  by  (Route  175  near  Fort  Meade), 
write,  phone  (South  Shore  4147),  wire, 
or  cable — send  me  the  news — even  if  by 
carrier  pigeon. 

PERSONAL:  After  twenty  years  some 
of  us  looked  a  bit  older — Mrs.  Marlin 
Balsbaugh  (Romlyn  Rivenburg)  an  excep- 
tion, looked  all  of  nineteen,  slim  and  un- 
scathed by  the  years.  Martha  Fulmar, 
also  young  looking  and  a  busy  career  gal. 
Anne  Fishel  Poorbaugh  —  so  pretty  in 
blue;  Bill  Stokely  as  funny  as  ever,  all 
the  way  up  from  Florida  with  brother  and 
Dad;  Betty  Berlin  Smith  weighing  exactly 
the  same  as  she  did  twenty  years  ago. 
Ed  Hartman  and  Jerry  Morr  are  some 
other  lads  having  a  whirl  on  a  bachelor 
weekend.  Ed  Knights  and  sister  Winni- 
fred  looking  so  distinguished,  both  in 
medical  careers.  Janet  Keefer  Strite  smil- 
ing as  usual,  telling  of  her  busy  life  in  civic  af- 
fairs; Charlotte  Lickhard  Messenger  chat- 
ting about  her  children,  as  was  Betty 
Benedict  James,  who  keeps  busy  with  four. 
Jay  Mathias  enthusiastically  planning  a 
whing-ding  for  our  twenty-fifth  reunion; 
Edith  McCormick  Smith  still  a  glamor 
girl;  George  McGaughey  looking  as  if  he 
had  just  stepped  ofif  the  football  field — 
remember  the  Fordham  victory?  Emily 
Orr  Stewart  with  husband  Eric  '36,  look- 
ing sylph-Iike,  accompanied  by  their 
charming  daughter;  Essie  Powell  Rodgers 
more  fun  than  ever.  A  quick  glimpse  at 
Jack  and  Bob  Thompson  and  wives,  for- 
mer Louise  Windsor  and  Marge  Dirlam 
'37 — so  good  to  see  them  again — they  were 
on  their  way  to  a  wedding  in  Philadelphia, 
but  made  a  special  trip  (Bob  from  Florida) 
to  see  old  classmates.

THE   JUNIOR   YEAR   ABROAD   PROGRAM 

A  Report  by  Cargillc  '56  and  Lavery  '57  —  P.  6 


JANUARY    1956 


$538,100  FROM  FORD  FOUNO/^TIOM 

On  the  morning  of  December  13,  as  final  copy  was  taken 
to  the  printer  for  the  January  issue  of  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALUMNUS,  word  was  given  out  by  the  Ford  Foundation  that 
it  had  earmarked  $5  38,100  for  Bucknell  as  endowment  for 
faculty  salaries. 

The  grant  was  one  of  more  than  4,000  which  the  founda- 
tion announced.  The  total  amount  of  money  to  be  dispersed  is 
$5  00,000,000,  the  largest  such  benefaction  ever  recorded. 

Of  this  sum,  $210,000,000  was  awarded  to  615  accredited, 
private  educational  institutions  in  the  United  States,  another 
$200,000,000  was  given  to  3,500  privately  supported  hospitals 
and  $90,000,000  was  reserved  for  privately  supported  medical 
schools. 

The  distribution  to  the  colleges  was  based  on  the  amount 
of  money  spent  during  1954-55  by  the  colleges  for  faculty 
salaries. 

Bucknell  must  use  the  income  from  its  grant,  which  will 
amount  to  approximately  $25,000  per  year,  to  raise  faculty  sal- 
aries. After  10  years  it  will  be  allowed  to  dip  into  the  principal, 
if  it  so  desires. 


FUND  AVERAGE   GIFT   BOOSTED 

Early  gifts  to  Bucknell's  Eighth  Annual  Alumni  Fund  indicate  a  higher 
average  gift  for  the  new  fund  year.  By  the  first  of  December,  269  Alumni  had 
contributed  $6,668.50  for  an  average  of  $24.79  each. 

These  figures  are  particularly  encouraging  for  two  reasons.  First,  it  shows 
that  Bucknellians  are  out  to  make  the  most  of  the  generous  offer  of  Rush 
H.  Kress  '00  to  give  the  University  one  dollar  for  every  two  given  by  all 
other  Alumni.  Thus,  the  figure  of  $6,668.50  is  actually  worth  $10,002.75 
because  of  his  offer. 

Second,  the  1955-56  Fund  totals  for  December  1  were  virtually  the  same 
as  those  for  1954-55  without  a  general  appeal  to  all  Alumni.  Last  year  at  this 
time  520  Alumni  had  given  $7,001.50  as  the  result  of  a  special  letter  to  selected 
Alumni  and  a  general  appeal  to  all  Alumni.  This  year  only  the  special  letter 
had  been  mailed  and  the  cash  on  hand  is  $6,668.50. 

This  year,  mailing  of  the  first  general  solicitation — the  seventh  annual 
alumni  fund  report — was  delayed  until  December. 

When  it  is  received  by  Alumni,  then  watch  the  Alumni  Fund  totals  grow. 

Each  day  brings  evidence  of  continuous  and  broadening  interest  in  the 
University  and  its  Fund  Program.  Here  are  a  few  of  the  letters  on  the  writer's 
desk  as  he  prepares  this  report  on  Fund  progress : 


Rutland,  Vt. 
November  4,  1955 

Dear  Me.  Shott  : 

I  cannot  recall  whether  or  not  I  have  con- 
tributed to  the  Alumni  Fund  this  year,  and  I 
want  to  every  year.    I  want  to  be  continuous, 
so  please  prompt  me,  if  I  get  in  arrears. 
Thank  you. 

Sincerely, 

Merton  M.  Ogden  '12 

Winter  Park,  Fla.

My  Dear  Dr.  Nick  : 

Enclosed  is  check  for  $ .  I  waited  a 

long  time  to  reply,  hesitating.  One  year 
ago  today  I  suffered  a  "coronary  throm- 
bosis" which  has  put  me  on  the  sidelines. 
Since  my  earning  capacity  is  nil,  I  am 
living  on  accumulated  fat.  But  your  let- 
ter reached  me  right  from  my  homeland. 
My  wife  and  I  are  both  from  the  hills 
north  of  Mooresburg,  and  had  it  not  been 
for  Bucknell  I  probably  would  have  spent 
my  years  trying  to  scratch  a  living  out  of 

2 


a  hill  farm.  I  know  that  I  got  much  more 
than  I  could  pay,  because  of  the  gener- 
osity of  those  whom  I  never  knew.  So 
I  want  to  contribute  something  for  others 
who  may  be  short  of  funds  as  I  was.  Then 
too,  I  have,  many  times,  enjoyed  the  hos- 
pitality of  Rush  Kress  in  his  "Rock  Hills" 
estate.  Would  that  we  had  a  hundred 
alumni  like   Rush! 

One  of  my  joys  has  been  to  enjoy  the 
U.  S.  A.  This  I  have  done  from  Maine 
to  California  and  the  Southland.  But  no 
place  has  more  beauty  than  Central  Penn- 
sylvania. I  could  tell  you  of  a  hundred 
'  beautiful  drives  in  Pennsylvania.  On  my 
last  trip  to  the  homeland  I  crossed  the 
Susquehanna  12  times  in  one  day  of  sight- 
seeing. 

We  are  permanently  located  in  this  won- 
derful city.  In  this  small  city  we  have  a 
University  Club  of  more  than  800  mem- 
bers. More  outstanding  scholars  and  au- 
thors retire  here  than  any  other  spot  I 
know  of. 

Sincerely  yours, 

David  W.  Robinson  '04

The  Cover 

Dr.  George  G.  Groff,  M.D.,  Ph.D., 
LL.D.,  who  taught  at  Bucknell  from 
1879  to  1910,  was  the  founder  of  what 
is  today  the  Department  of  Biology.  It 
is  fitting,  therefore,  that  his  portrait, 
painted  by  Arthur  Conrad  of  Bald- 
win, Maryland  and  purchased  by  Doc- 
tors For  Bucknell,  should  be  the  first 
to  be  hung  in  the  newly  renovated 
Taylor  Hall.  The  portrait  was  un- 
veiled at  Homecoming  by  his  daugh- 
ter, Frances  L.   Grofif  '12.

Trustees  Alfred  G.  Freas  of  Tenofly,  N.  J.  (Left)  and  Robert  L. 
Rooke  '13,  of  Westfield,  N.  J.,  perform  for  the  photographers  during  the 
ground-breaking  ceremonies  for  Bucknell's  new  swimming  pool,  which 
were  held  on  Homecoming  Day  morning.  The  pool,  which  these  two 
trustees  are  giving  to  the  University,  is  expected  to  be  completed  by 
the  fall   of   1956. 


Lester  Lighten  '20  addresses  a  meeting  of  130  Bucknell  Engineers 
and  their  guests  on  the  night  of  Homecoming.  The  Engineering  Alumni 
voted  to  organize  along  the  basis  of  Doctors  For  Bucknell  in  order  to 
render  unified  support  to  the  engineering  program  of  the  University. 


1955  Homecoming  Proves  to  Be  the  Best  in  Years 


Homecoming  on  November  5  was  just 
that. 

Two  hundred  hardy  souls  were  on  hand 
at  8:00  A.  M.  for  the  Bison  Club  break- 
fast; nearly  seven  thousand  saw  Colgate 
whip  the  Bisons  in  the  afternoon;  one 
hundred  and  thirty  Bucknell  Engineers 
and  their  wives  had  dinner  in  the  new 
Swartz  Hall  and  organized  Engineers  For 
Bucknell;  seventy-five  doctors  and  pre- 
medical  students  attended  the  third  an- 
nual Homecoming  Dinner  of  Doctors  For 
Bucknell;  and  the  all-college  dance  in 
Davis  Gymnasium  Saturday  night  really 
packed  the  place. 

Day  Starts  Early 

Members  of  the  Bison  Club,  dragging 
themselves  to  breakfast  at  the  Lewisburg 
Club  on  Saturday  morning,  may  have 
wondered  if  their  courage  would  last  until 
the  afternoon,  but  the  day,  which  started 
as  a  cold  and  raw  one,  gradually  changed 
so  that  by  10:30,  when  the  Homecoming 
Parade  started,  the  outlook  was  much 
pleasanter. 

Thereafter  things  began  happening 
thick  and  fast.  Just  as  the  parade  started, 
Doctors  For  Bucknell  presented  a  por- 
trait of  Dr.  George  G.  GrofT  to  the  Uni- 
versity with  the  unveiling  being  done  by 
Mi.s9  Frances  L.  Groflf  '12,  daughter  of 
Dr.  GrofT,  in  Taylor  Hall. 

Three-quarters  of  an  hour  later  came 
the  grounrl-brcaking  ceremonies  for  the 
new  swimming  pool.  With  new  buildings 
popping  up  on  the  Bucknell  campus  like 
mushrooms,  it  was  not  surprising  that 
those  attending  Homecoming  should  wit- 
ness more  cvifjcncc  of  Bucknell's  progress. 
Accordingly,  Alfred  G.  Freas  of  Tcnafly, 
N,  J.  and  Robert  L.  Rooke  '13,  of  Wcsf- 
ficld,  N.  J.,  turned  over  siimc  turf  at  the 
ca.stcrn  side  of  the  gymnasium  to  signify 
the  start  of  a  110  by  81  fool  addition  to 
that  building.     The  new  wing,  which  will

cost  an  approximate  $300,000  and  is  being 
donated  to  Bucknell  by  these  two  trustees, 
is  e.xpected  to  be  ready  next  fall. 

As  soon  as  this  ceremony  was  over,  the 
crowd  jammed  into  the  gymnasium  for 
the  annual  All-Alumni  Homecoming 
Luncheon.  Here  again  more  evidence  of 
Bucknell's  progress  could  be  noted,  for 
the  luncheon  was  served  from  the  new 
addition  to  the  rear  of  the  gymnasium, 
which,  in  addition  to  providing  more  space 
for  athletics,  also  houses  a  kitchen  which 
facilitates  the  serving  of  large  crowds  on 
occasions  such  as  this  one. 

Game  One-Sided 

With  their  stomachs  well  filled,  the 
Alumni  moved  over  to  Memorial  Field  to 
watch  Colgate  engage  Bucknell  at  foot- 
ball. They  watched  pretty  much  in  silence 
for  Colgate  dominated  the  play  for  the  bet- 
ter part  of  the  game.  Only  in  the  third 
quarter,  when  Bucknell  put  on  a  l.S-play, 
70-yard  march  for  its  only  touchdown  was 
there  much  chance  for  local  cheering.  Bob 
Siercr  '56,  Don  Koppes  '57,  and  Jimmy 
Stewart  '57  stood  out  in  the  losing  cause. 

After  the  game,  many  of  the  Alumni  re- 
turned to  Davis  Gym  for  the  Bison  Round- 
up and  then  went  their  way  for  dinner. 
The  Engineers,  intent  on  forming  an  or- 
ganization comparable  to  Doctors  For 
Bucknell,  went  to  the  new  freshman 
dormitory,  Swartz  Hall,  and  listened  to 
I-'arl  M.  Richards  '13,  Lester  E.  Ligbton 
'20,  George  A.  Irland  'IS,  and  Admiral 
ICrnest  M.  Filer,  newly  appointed  Director 
of  Engineering.  A  committee  was  ap- 
pointed to  orga;vlze  t  h  e  I-jigineering 
Alunmi. 

The  Doctors  rallied  at  the  Lewisburg 
Club,  whore  the  chief  speaker  was  Dr. 
[osr-ph  C.  Hinsey,  dircrtor  rif  (lie  New 
\'ork  Hospital  —  Cornrll  Mcdiral  Center. 
During  their  business  meeting  the  Doctors 
elected  Dr.  Albert  J.  Abl»)tt  '29  as  presi- 


dent; Dr.  Cornelius  E.  Sedgwick  '36,  vice 
president;  Alfred  H.  Fenton,  secretary- 
treasurer;  and  Dr.  Edward  W.  Pangburn 
'15,  retiring  president,  as  a  member  of  the 
Executive  Committee.  Dr.  W.  F.  Darkes 
'27,  originator  of  Doctors  For  Bucknell, 
was  elected  an  Honorary  Life  Member  of 
the  Executive  Committee. 

The  Doctors  also  presented  a  gift  to 
Dr.  Norman  H.  Stewart,  who  retired  in 
June  after  45  years  of  teaching  at  Buck- 
nell. 

In  the  meantime,  other  Alumni  began 
drifting  back  to  Davis  Gymnasium  for  the 
All-Campus  Dance  and  Entertainment. 
The  effort  was  worthwhile.  In  addition 
to  a  lively  dance  band,  the  University  also 
provided  excellent  entertainment  in  the 
form  of  an  interfraternity  singing  com- 
petition, which  was  won  by  Lambda  Chi 
Alpha,  followed  by  Delta  Upsilon  and 
Tau  Kappa  Epsilon. 

Also  announced  at  this  affair  were  the 
winning  floats  in  the  Homecoming  Parade. 
Phi  Kappa  Psi  placed  first,  followed  by 
Tau  Kappa  Epsilon  and  Phi  Gamma 
Delta.  Phi  Lambda  Theta  was  given 
honorable  mention.  Carey  House  was 
given  the  top  award  for  the  best  decorated 
dormitory. 

And  not  too  surprising  was  the  selection 
(if  Bettc  Skow  '56  of  Springfield,  who  is 
lUicknell's  favorite  drum  majorette,  as 
Homecoming  Queen. 

After  that,  things  tapered  off  somewhat, 
but  those  Alumni  who  could  stay  on  dur- 
ing Sunday,  saw  a  demonstration  of  water 
color  painting  by  David  Fredonlhal,  fa- 
mous American  artist,  in  Taylor  ll;dl  on 
Sunday  afternoon  and  had  the  opportunity 
111  Mieel  the  gciillcnian  at  a  reception  in 
koberts  Hall  later  in  the  day. 

Even  the  oldest  resident  cannot  rcmein- 
l)er  when  Alumni  had  so  much  fun  at 
Homecoming.

Speech  Education  For  Every  Child 

Dr.  Dorothy  Kester  '34  Raises  a  Question 


What  is  Speech  Education?  Is  it  only 
for  the  handicapped  or  is  it  for  all  of  us? 
Is  there  a  place  for  it  in  a  public  school 
curriculum  or  should  it  be  carried  on 
privately? 

To  begin  with  the  first  question,  Speech 
Education  is  a  program  of  training  in  oral 
communication  for  everyone.  Speech 
Education  becomes  Speech  Correction  if 
the  child's  communication  is  so  distorted 
that  it  does  not  convey  meaning  easily  and 
without  distractions  to  his  hearers.  It 
becomes  Speech  Improvement  if  he  is  an 
average  or  superior  speaker,  who  can 
learn  better  skills  for  communicating  ideas 
and  emotions. 

If  Speech  Education  is  both  of  these 
things,  then  it  can  be  of  service  to  all. 
Under  our  democratic  system  of  public 
education,  it  becomes  basic  to  all  other  in- 
struction and  therefore  should  be  included 
in  the  curriculum  of  every  school. 

Granting  this  premise,  it  might  be 
asked,  "What  are  the  procedures  and  what 
are  the  values  in  each  field  of  speech  edu- 
cation?" Keeping  in  mind  that  they  in- 
evitably overlap,  let  us  look  at  one  and 
then  the  other. 

Speech  Correction  is  the  training  of  a 
child  whose  speech  sets  him  apart  from 
his  peers.  Speech  develops  as  the  rest 
of  the  child  grows.  What  is  normal  for 
a  three-year  old  sounds  retarded  in  a 
first-grader.  But  what  sounds  distorted 
in  a  third-grader's  speech  may  be  accept- 
able in  the  first  grade. 

How  can  parents  help  to  see  to  it  that 
their  children  speak  well?  First,  by  set- 
ting a  good  example.  This  would  include 
looking  directly  at  the  child  when  they 
speak  to  him,  taking  time  to  see  that  he 
comprehends  what  is  said,  avoiding  de- 
liberate distortions  in  imitation  of  the 
child's  attempts  at  communication  (how 
is  he  ever  to  learn  that  that  white  liquid 
in  the  glass  is  "milk"  if  his  mother  holds 
it  out  to  him  and  says,  "Gink  of  mook"?) 


and,  above  all,  flooding  him  with  talk 
while  he's  being  bathed,  dressed,  fed,  en- 
tertained and  put  to  bed.  It  is  in  this 
shower  of  sounds  that  the  child  begins  to 
realize  that  there  is  a  word-fact  relation- 
ship, that  the  object  that  encases  his  foot 
is  a  shoe,  that  the  instrument  for  getting 
food  from  his  plate  to  his  mouth  is  a 
spoon  and  that  that  noisy,  strong,  exciting 
person  who  throws  him  into  the  air  is  his 
Daddy.  If  his  first  attempts  to  reproduce 
those  words  are  met  with  enthusiasm  by 
the  adults  around  him,  he  will  try  them 
again  and  eventually  use  them  at  will. 
Once  he  begins  to  use  understandable 
words,  parents  should  pay  attention  to  his 
efforts,  repeating  his  distortions  in  the 
correct  form  and  making  him  feel  that  he 
has  their  attention  while  he  is  speaking. 
Once  he  has  learned  to  say  a  word  cor- 
rectly they  should  not  accept  his  former 
"baby-talk"  but  should  gently  remind  him 
of  the  right  way  to  pronounce  the  word. 
Gradually,  he  will  increase  his  vocabulary 
and  his  fluency  and  become  a  normal 
speaker  for  his  age. 

If  something  interferes  with  this  normal 
growth  of  speech,  like  an  injury  or  an  ill- 
ness at  the  time  of  the  onset  of  speech,  or 
if  he  is  made  unpleasantly  aware  of  his 
inadequacies,  then  he  becomes  a  candidate 
for  Speech  Correction.  The  most  common 
speech  defects  are  stuttering  and  the  sub- 
stitution of  one  sound  for  another.  Stut- 
tering must  be  treated  not  as  an  entity  but 
as  a  symptom  of  a  maladjustment  of  the 
personality.  We  know  of  no  physical 
basis  for  stuttering,  so  it  must  be  consid- 
ered to  be  a  type  of  response  to  an  emo- 
tional situation.  If  that  is  the  case,  then 
it  becomes  clear  that  to  relieve  the  symp- 
tom, one  must  eliminate  the  cause.  Causes 
may  be  such  things  as  have  been  men- 
tioned: accidents  or  illness  which  discour- 
aged a  normal  growth  in  speech;  aware- 
ness that  the  repetitions  which  are  a  legiti- 
mate part  of  the  growth  of  speech  at  the 
three-year  level   (me-me-me-go !)   are  some- 


Setting  a  good  example  is  one  of  the  basic  rules  in  Speech  Correction.

Coordinator  of  Speech  Education,  Akron,  Ohio 

Public  Schools 


how  not  socially  acceptable;  or  tensions 
induced  by  the  persons  in  his  environment 
— an  over-solicitous  grandmother,  a 
bullying  older  brother,  strained  relations 
between  the  parents  or  competition  for 
grades  or  attention  with  a  sibling.  Speech 
therapy  for  a  child  with  a  stutter  then  be- 
comes treatment  of  his  environment,  to 
eliminate  the  cause  of  his  insecurity. 
Parental  co-operation  is  an  important  part 
of  any  speech  therapy,  but  most  important 
in  cases  of  stuttering. 

Distortion  of  sounds,  or  the  substitution 
of  one  sound  for  another,  makes  up  the 
greatest  number  of  speech  defects  to  be 
found  in  a  school  population.  The  cause 
of  these  cannot  always  be  determined,  but 
before  therapy  begins,  it  is  basic  to  deter- 
mine whether  there  is  a  hearing  loss  and 
what  kind  of  loss  it  is.  Only  an  audio- 
meter in  the  hands  of  a  qualified  operator 
can  give  this  information.  By  the  use  of 
an  audiometer,  it  is  possible  to  determine 
what  kinds  of  sounds  are  not  heard  by  the 
child.  The  sound  of  "s"  for  instance,  has 
a  high  frequency.  If  a  child  has  a  high- 
frequency  loss  he  can  hear  boat  whistles 
and  bass  viols  perfectly  but  a  sentence 
like,  "I  see  a  snowman  beside  the  street- 
car" is  likely  to  sound  like,  "I  ee  a  noman 
be-ide  the  reetcar."  Naturally,  he  will 
reproduce  what  he  hears.  Therefore  a 
hearing  test  is  imperative. 

If  he  has  even  a  slight  hearing  loss,  it 
will  be  wise  for  him  to  have  training  in 
lip  reading,  especially  if  the  loss  is  likely 
to  be  progressive.  He  should  have  ear- 
training  while  he  still  has  his  maximum 
hearing  ability,  not  after  that  faculty  has 
diminished  still  further. 

But,  supposing  the  physical  aspects  do 
not  need  to  be  considered,  his  ears,  lips, 
tongue,  teeth,  jaws  and  palate  are  in  good 
condition,  then  his  deviations  are  probably 
the  result  of  habit  and  may  be  corrected  by 
motivation,  drill  and  carry-over.  Under 
the  heading  of  articulatory  disorders  are 
such  phenomena  as  "tar"  for  "car",  "do" 
for  "go"  and  "thay"  for  "say."  The  usual 
procedure  for  correcting  such  substitu- 
tions is,  first,  ear-training  so  that  he  hears 
the  sound  correctly  and  knows  he  is  hear- 
ing it;  then,  discrimination  of  one  sound 
from  another,  then  producing  that  sound 
in    isolation    but    not    by    imitation    ("the 

JANUARY  ig.-ie 


5nake  sound",  not  "s-s-s-s");  and,  finally, 
the  use  of  the  sound  in  words  and  in  sen- 
tences. Throughout  the  training  period, 
he  must  be  kept  motivated  by  a  goal  or  by 
constant  stimulation.  We  all  learn  better 
if  we  ha^"e  fun  while  we  are  doing  it  or  if 
we  see  a  fairly  immediate  purpose  in  doing 
the  drill.  Speech  therapists  use  great  in- 
genuity in  constructing  lessons  so  that 
each  child  in  the  group  of  five  or  si.x  has 
some  individual  attention  during  the  les- 
son and  some  activity  with  the  group  as  a 
whole.  After  all.  speech  is  a  social  ac- 
tivity, highly  suspect  if  practiced  in  soli- 
tude! It  is  a  part  of  the  therapy  program 
to  encourage  interchange  of  ideas  orally, 
not  only  among  the  children  in  speech 
class,  but  between  them  and  their  other 
classmates  and  associates.  That's  where 
the  carrj'-over  program  enters  the  speech 
activities.  When  a  sound  has  been  learned 
correctly,  opportunities  must  be  created 
for  its  continued  use.  Classroom  teachers 
and  families  afford  chances  to  reinforce 
the  learned  sound.  The  therapist  helps  to 
acquaint  them  with  techniques  for  doing 
so.  For  instance,  a  ride  in  the  family  car 
affords  a  chance  to  practice  a  sound. 
Every  time  a  red  barn  or  a  bus  or  a  brown 
dog  is  sighted,  the  first  one  to  see  it  says 
"s-s-s."  Or  a  game  may  be  played  with 
one  member  of  the  famil\-  saying,  "I  am 
thinking  of  something  in  this  car  that 
starts  with  s-s-s."  The  others  guess, 
"Are  you  thinking  of  seats?"  "Are  you 
thinking  of  the  steering  wheel?"  The 
point  is  won  only  if  the  "s-s-s"  sound  is 
produced  correctly.  Other  practice  times 
could  be  at  bedtime,  during  meal  prepara- 
tion in  the  kitchen,  during  a  relaxed  period 
in  the  living  room.  Picking  out  pictures 
from  a  magazine  or  favorite  book  is  a  good 
waj'  of  bringing  the  sound  to  the  child's 
attention.  Drill  on  a  sound  should  be  of 
short  duration  and  conducted  only  when 
the  child  is  relaxed  and  receptive. 

The  second  area  of  speech  education 
includes  the  techniques  that  improve  a 
child's  voice,  stimulate  his  imagination, 
help  him  to  analyze  situations  so  that  he 
can  make  a  good  evaluation  of  them  and 
of  himself  and  encourage  him  to  com- 
municate accurately  his  thoughts  and 
feelings  within  the  framework  of  his  social 
group.  Among  the  activities  that  help  to 
do  these  things  are  choral  speaking,  cre- 
ative dramatics,  radio,  puppetry  and  pub- 
lic discussion.  There  is  not  space  to 
describe  all  of  these.  Radio,  puppetry  and 
discussion  are  fairly  well-known  tech- 
niques. The  most  common  techniques  for 
groups  are  choral  speaking  and  creative 
dramatics. 


Choral  speaking  engages  the  imagina- 
tions, the  analytical  and  synthetic  faculties 
and  the  voices  of  a  roomful  of  children. 
They  study  a  poem  orally,  that  is,  the 
teacher  reads  or  says  the  poem  and  the 
children  discuss  it,  finding  its  meaning 
through  an  interchange  of  ideas.  When 
the  interpretation  is  agreed  upon,  the  class 
decides  how  best  to  make  the  meaning 
clear  through  their  voices  and  faces.  They 
may  alternate  boys'  and  girls'  voices,  they 
may  speak  a  row  at  a  time,  they  may  have 
occasional  solo  voices,  they  may  speak  in 
unison.  The  result  is  that  the  class  takes 
part  in  an  oral  experience  which  grows 
from  mental  and  emotional  understanding 
of  the  author's  thoughts.  It  is  highly 
satisfying  to  them  and  is  a  convenient  way 
of  presenting  material  in  a  program  for 
an  audience. 

Creative  dramatics  are  the  results  when 
a  story  is  told,  the  characters  and  motives 
analyzed  and  understood  by  the  children, 
and  then  presented  with  spontaneous  dia- 
logue and  movement.  It  is  an  activity 
which  fosters  keener  perception  by  the 
children  and  an  increased  awareness  of 
the  meanings  behind  much  of  life.  Both 
class  and  teacher  grow  as  a  result  of  the 
experience. 

The  field  of  speech  education  has  many 
possibilities  for  service  to  children  today 
and  it  can  easily  be  incorporated  into 
school  systems  or  individual  classrooms 
where  there  is  an  interested  teacher  or 
administrator. 

One  asks,  "Why  haven't  we  thought  of 
this  before?"  Well,  now  we  have.  Will 
you  do  something  about  securing  it  for 
your  community?  It  takes  only  one  en- 
thusiastic person  to  kindle  the  fire.  The 
Torah  asks,  "Where,  if  not  here?  When, 
if  not  now?    Who,  if  not  I?"

Bucknell  Chemists  Work 
In  Rural  Pennsylvania 
To  Lick  Ocean  Problem 

Three  Bucknell  University  chemistry 
professors  are  currently  working  in  the 
rolling  hills  of  Central  Pennsylvania  to 
help  solve  a  problem  that  involves  a  para- 
site of  the  Atlantic  Ocean  which  has  in- 
vaded the  Great  Lakes.  Tying  these  lo- 
calities together  makes  an  interesting 
story. 

The  villain  in  the  plot  is  the  sea  lam- 
prey, a  lecherous  eel  that  sucks  blood  from 
game  fish.  The  lamprey  years  ago  made 
its  way  up  the  St.  Lawrence  River  and 
infested  Lake  Ontario.  There  it  stayed 
until  1921,  nearly  one  hundred  years  after 
the  Wellington  Canal  was  built  to  by-pass 
Niagara  Falls,  when  it  was  discovered  in 
Lake   Erie. 

By  193S  the  lamprey  had  begun  to  make 
inroads  in  the  commercial  fishing  on  Lake 
Huron  and  by  1940  its  work  had  been  felt 
in  Lake  Michigan.  Fishing  production 
charts  in  these  two  lakes  show  that  it  takes 
just  about  ten  years  for  the  lamprey,  once 
it  has  established  itself,  to  ruin  the  fish- 
ing. Research  shows  that  Lake  Superior 
is  at  the  fore-edge  of  a  ten-year  decline  in 
fishing  production. 

For  some  time  now,  the  U.  S.  Fish  and 
Wildlife  Service  has  concerned  itself  with 
this  problem.  It  has  tested  some  4400 
chemical  compounds,  in  its  search  for  a 
chemical  that  will  destroy  the  lamprey 
larva  without  disturbing  the  fish  popula- 
tion. 

Two  Wildlife  Service  biologists,  Vernon 
C.  Applegate  and  William  Howell,  have 
been  carrying  on  the  research  in  Michigan 
and  at  long  last  have  discovered  a  com- 
pound that  they  think  will  do  the  job. 
It  is  rather  expensive  and  difiicult  to  make. 
They  took  their  problem  to  a  Buffalo 
chemical  company  and  there  talked  with 
Dr.  Sherman  K.  Reed,  former  Bucknell 
professor. 

The  biologists  needed  only  a  small 
amount  of  their  compound  for  their  final 
laboratory  test  and  so  Dr.  Reed  suggested 
that  they  get  in  touch  with  Dr.  Manning 
A.  Smith,  professor  of  chemistry  at  Buck- 
nell. 

Consequently,  Dr.  Smith,  along  with 
Dr.  Harold  W.  Heine  and  Dr.  Meldruni  B. 
Winstead,  Jr.,  began  production  along 
with  a  number  of  other  colleges  and  lab- 
oratories. 

The  experiment,  in  which  this  com- 
pound will  be  used,  calls  for  a  solution  of 
the  compound  to  be  deposited  in  a  lank 
representing  the  bed  of  a  lake.  Here  lam- 
prey larva  are  buried  in  the  mud  and  fish, 
liarticularly  bluegills  and  rainbow  trout, 
arc  swimming  in  the  water  above  the  mud. 
Preliminary  tests  have  indicated  that  the 
compound  destroys  the  larva,  but  does 
not  harm  the  fish. 

The  larval  stage  of  lamprey  extends 
over  a  period  of  seven  years,  so  that  by 
attacking  the  parasite  at  this  stage  of  ils 
life,  some  six  or  seven  generrilions  ran 
be   wiped  out  at  once. 

Assuming  that  the  e.vperinient  in  which 
Ihe  I'ucknell  product  will  be  used  is  coin- 
plclcly  successful,  the  solution  to  llie  fish- 
ing problem  on  the  Great  Lakes  will  not 
be  solved.  There  will  still  remain  the 
pjcihlcni  (if  manufacturing  the  compound 
ill  suflicicnl  quaiililies  and  at  a  low  enough 
ccist  so  that  complete  destriuiiiiii  cif  the 
lamprey  can  be  assured. 

The  project  has  a  long  way  to  go,  Iml 
I  lien  it  has  come  a  long  way — from  the 
I  iiilf  of  .St.  I^awrence  td  Michigan  ami 
back  to  T.ewisburg.

Bucknell's  Junior  Year  Abroad  Program 


Cargille  '56  and  Alvina  Lavery  '57  Report 


Four  Bucknell  juniors  are  currently  stud- 
ying abroad  and  the  idea,  like  the  auto- 
mobile, seems  to  be  here  to  stay. 

Two  years  ago  the  administration  es- 
tablished the  policy  of  allowing  qualified 
students  to  study  abroad  at  any  accredited 
university  while  receiving  credit  toward 
their  Bucknell  degree.  Four  students  took 
advantage  of  the  scheme  in  1954-55  and

pa  Wehle,  Cherry  Point,  N.  C,  is  at  the 
University  of  Paris. 

One  of  the  staunchest  advocates  of  this 
plan  is  Charles  M.  Cargille  '56  of  Arling- 
ton, N.  J.,  who  spent  his  junior  year  at 
the  University  of  Aberdeen  in  Scotland. 
Here  is  what  he  has  to  say  about  it: 

"Having  but  ten  classes  a  week  with 
few  assignments  or  tests  during  the  year 
is  quite  different,  although  one  must  pur- 
sue extensive  independent  study  in  his 
field  of  interest.  To  shoulder  a  pack  and 
hostel  for  five  and  a  half  weeks  duririg 
Easter  vacation  while  making  friends  in 
many  countries,  hearing  many  points  of 
view,  and  being  warmly  welcorned  as  a 
student  and  friend  in  every  land,  is  adven- 
ture. Europeans  are  warm  and  hospi- 
table to  students  who  show  real  interest 
in  them — rather  than  just  looking  while 
rushing  by.  It  is  an  advantage  overseas 
to  be  a  student,  and  an  American,  except 
that  Americans  have  so  little  time  to  stop 
during  their  brief  summer  tours. 

"Having  sufficient  time  to  meet  people 
while  learning  their  language  and  way  of 
life  will  perhaps  be  the  finest  benefit  of 
your  year  abroad.    My  friend,  Ron  Dear,

At  SilliJtian  University 

while  sharing  with  me  a  year  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Aberdeen  in  Scotland,  enjoyed 
ten  weeks  of  travel  while  spending  only 
$1250  from  October  to  June  including 
passage.  A  year  of  study  plus  one  summer 
would  cost  $1600  and  encompass  twenty 
free  weeks.  A  year  of  study  and  two  sum- 
mers cost  me  $1950  and  encompassed  thir- 
ty weeks  of  adventure.  It  is  striking  that 
the  cost  of  an  organized  eight-week  sum- 
mer tour  is  equivalent  to  the  expense  of 
eight  months  of  independent  travel  and 
study. 

"There  are  group  plans  of  study  abroad 
organized  by  certain  universities,  although 
these  cost  fully  twice  as  much  as  the  in- 
dependent plan  sketched  above.  Students 
who  are  not  academically  serious  must  be 
warned  against  any  plan  of  overseas  work. 
Their  credit  cannot  be  transferred  unless 
all  work  is  clearly  of  fine  quality." 

And  here  is  a  letter  from  Alvina  Lavery 
telling  of  her  first  impressions  of  life  at 
Silliman  University  in  the   Philippines: 

Silliman   University 
Dumaguete,    Philippines 
August  6,  1955 
"Dear    Friends: 

"I  have  been  here  at  Silliman  for  a  lit- 
tle more  than  five  weeks  now.  I  have  fall- 
en in  love  with  my  new  home  in  the  trop- 
ics. I  still  feel  that  I  am  dreaming.  I 
have  come  ten  thousand  miles  from  my 
home  in  Kew  Jersey  and  yet  I  feel  my 
home  has  always  been  right  here  in  this 
beautiful  little  city  on  the  edge  of  Negros 
Island.  I  have  grown  quite  accustomed  to 
stately  palms  by  the  peaceful  sea  at  one 
edge  of  our  campus  and  the  dark,  protec- 
tive Horns  of  Negros  Mountains  framing 
the  town  on  the  other  side. 

"I  know  you  are  all  bursting  with  curi- 
ous questions  and  so  I  will  devote  this 
first  letter  to  answers.  True,  I  am  in  a 
foreign  country  in  a  tropical  country,  and 
among  a  people  with  a  different  cultural 
background,  but  these  people  are  basically 
just  like  every  one  of  you.  They  are  fun- 
loving,  hard-working  people  whose  moti- 
vations   are    the   same   as   ours.     I    know, 


more  than  ever  before,  that  all  the  human 
race  are  truly  brothers  in  one  great  fam- 
ily. 

"Through  letters  from  home  I  am  cori- 
vinced  that  it  is  much  cooler  here  than  it 
has  been  where  you  are.  There  is  not  the 
wilting,  muggy  kind  of  heat  that  I  have 
known  before.  Some  of  us  sleep  under  a 
sheet  at  night.  It  is  the  rainy  season  now, 
but  it  rains  very  little  during  the  day.  I 
cannot  recall  one  day  that  the  sun  has  not 
come  out  and  dried  things.  When  it  does 
rain,  it  rains  hard  and  is  so  very  soothing. 
The  sunrises  and  sunsets  are  like  a  great 
protector's  curtain  of  gold  starting  and 
ending  each  new  day.  I  do  enjoy  the  si- 
esta hour  at  the  heat  of  noon.  All  offices 
and  stores  close  from  12  till  2,  but  the 
class  schedule  is  not  quite  so  leisurely. 

"I  am  taking  five  courses  this  first  se- 
mester, and  I  feel  each  one  is  on  an  equi- 
valent level  with  the  college  courses  I 
have  known  in  the  United  States.  I  have 
two  Filipino  professors  and  three  fine 
American  ones.  The  psychology  of  edu- 
cation is  necessarily  slightly  different  from 
that  at  home,  but  I  feel  it  is  fine  discipline 
for  me.  There  are  many  very  different 
dialects  spoken  in  the  Philippines,  but  all 
the  schools  teach  in  English.  These  stu- 
dents are  actually  studying  in  a  language 
foreign  to  them,  and  so  they  have  difficulty 
expressing  their  deeper  thoughts.  For  this 
reason  the  courses  are  quite  dependent  on 
the  text  and  library  sources.  I  think  this  is 
a  very  good  thing  for  such  courses  as  phi- 
losophy and  religion,  for  the  students  will 
not  accept  an  ungrounded  statement.  They 
learn  by  rote  and  therefore  they  will  com- 
plain if  a  test  covers  too  much  material. 
Because  the  tests  are  frequent,  the  stu- 
dents are  forced  to  keep  up  with  the  as- 
signments. 

"Three  days  after  we  arrived  in  Duma- 
guete, Jean  and  I  moved  into  Channon 
Hall.  This  is  the  girl  dorm  for  the  College 
of  Theology,  and  these  girls  are  carefully 
picked.  All  but  five  are  Protestant  Chris- 
tians and  they  seem  to  have  a  real  pur- 
pose in  life.  Dormitory  life  is  a  delight- 
ful experience  no  matter  where  it  may  be.

PHILIPPA  WEHLE    '57 
At  University  of  Paris 

We  rise  at  5  A.  M.  every  morning  and 
hold  a  twenty-minute  devotional  led  each 
day  by  a  different  girl.  We  eat  breakfast 
at  6  and  the  first  class  is  at  7  A.  M.  We  all 
study  in  a  large  well-lighted  room  in  the 
dorm,  and  quiet  is  amazingly  enforced  by 
a  tiny  bell.  The  lights  are  turned  out  at 
10:15,  and  so  we  ahva}'s  get  at  least  seven 
hours  of  sleep.  Our  living  quarters  are  on 
one  large  floor  upstairs  over  the  theology 
library  and  several  large  classrooms.  Jean 
is  on  the  porch  facing  the  mountains  and 
I  can  see  the  water  from  my  top  bunk. 
We  eat  with  the  boys  and  girls,  all  Fili- 
pino food.  The  constant  rice  and  banana 
diet  is  filling  but  quite  monotonous.  We 
are  invited  by  our  wonderful  American 
friends  for  a  real-home-cooked  meal  about 
four  times  a  week.  We  have  pie-a-la-mode 
nearly  as  often  as  you  do,  so  you  needn't 
feel  sorry  for  us. 

"I  am  enjoying  the  summer  months 
thoroughly  even  though  summer  here 
comes  in  .April  and  May.  One  of  the 
American  men  takes  us  sailing  or  water 
skiing  almost  every  weekend.  The  water 
is  always  so  warm  and  the  coral  bottom 
of  several  beaches  is  like  a  land  of  lace. 
Just  last  night  some  of  us  went  for  a 
moonlight  swim.  I  am  sure  you  will  be 
even  more  envious  after  I  write  of  swim- 
ming and  sailing  on  Christmas. 

"The  social  customs  of  these  friends  are 
very  wholesome.  They  are  gregarious;  I 
am  never  without  a  companion.  There  is 
very  little  individual  dating,  but  there  arc 
several  picnic  excursions  to  the  nearby 
beaches  every  weekend,  and  we  have  been 
to  many  square  dance  parties.  I  am  a 
naturalized  member  of  the  International 
Students  Club.  We  are  32  students  from 
nine  countries.  Our  club  went  to  the  beau- 
tiful home  of  Col.  and  Mrs.  Auscjo  for  a 
Icchon  dinner  one  Sunday  noon.  Lcchon 
is  a  whole  barbecued  pig,  a  real  special 
treat  for  a  Filipino  meal.  Mrs.  Ausejo 
has  more  than  25  difTcrcnt  fruits  on  their 
property  and  lots  of  the  common  orchids. 
There  are  comparatively  few  homes  that 
arc  as  modern  and  comfortable  as  theirs 
i».  The  more  typical  homes  arc  of  bam- 
boo raised  on  poles  ofl  the  ground.  'i"hc 
pigs,  chickens,  and  dogs  live  downstairs 
while  the  family  lives  on  the  main  floor. 
There  arc  a  few  girls  in  the  larger  dorm 
who  must  live  on  the  ground  floor  and 
they    arc    very    resentful    for    that    is    the

level  for  the  animals.  One  of  the  vices  of 
the  Philippines  is  cock-fighting  with  heavy 
betting.  They  also  have  a  fermented  co- 
conut drink,  tuba,  but  very  few  college 
students  indulge.  I  could  fill  many  letters 
with  little  descriptions  of  the  people  and 
their  way  of  life.  I  am  trying  to  get  an 
inclusive  colored  slide  account  of  all  these 
things. 

"There  is  one  experience  I  am  having 
for  which  I  will  never  be  able  to  find  ade- 
quate words  to  share  with  j-ou.  Ten  years 
ago  the  Japanese  troops  occupied  most  of 
these  islands  and  took  many,  many  lives 
in  the  ruthless  war.  The  war  stories  are 
almost  unbelievable  to  me;  the  hatred  still 
lingers  in  the  hearts  of  many  Filipinos. 
This  year  the  first  Japanese  boy  has  come 
to  Silliman  to  take  advanced  studies  in 
theology.  Because  he  has  never  used 
English  as  a  working  language  his  speech 
is  a  little  shaky.  I  have  been  working  with 
him,  improving  his  English  a  little  bit 
each  week  day.  Paul  is  one  of  the  finest 
and  bravest  friends  I  know.  This  is  the 
end  of  a  very  significant  week  here  at  Sil- 
liman. A  Japanese  Good- Will  Team  con- 
sisting of  two  men  and  two  women  are 
touring  the  Philippines  pleading  with 
these  people  for  forgiveness  and  sound 
Christian  brotherhood  between  these  two 
bitter  countries.  The  team  left  today  and 
Paul  remains  to  carry  on  his  shoulders 
alone  the  wish  for  peace.  I  truly  believe 
that  the  ne.xt  great  war  will  not  be  one  of 
bloodshed,  but  ideally  a  campaign  for 
deepening  friendship  between  men  of  all 
creeds. 

"This  is  just  a  simple  outline  of  the  life, 
the  people,  and  experiences  which  are  re- 
alities to  me  for  this  one  short  }'ear.  My 
only  wish  is  that  you,  my  friends  at  home, 
are  also  finding  the  basic  human  happiness 
of  living  and  working  day  by  day  in  ex- 
periences which  are  equally  as  satisfying 
to  you.  Please  remember  me  with  your 
thoughts  and  letters  for  I  am  constantly 
thinking  of  you  all  who  have  helped  to 
make  this  an  unforgettable  experience  for 
me. 

Most   sincerely  yours, 
Alvina  (Bunny)  Lavery  '57" 

Such  enthusiasm  is  likely  to  be  con- 
tagious. Don't  be  surprised  if  many  more 
Bucknell  juniors  venture  abroad  next  year.

Trustees  Name  Kennedy, 
Approve  Tuition  Raise 

The  Board  of  Trustees,  meeting  at  the 
Bellevue-Stratford  Hotel  at  Philadelphia 
on  Saturday,  December  3,  1955,  elected 
Ridgway  Kennedy,  Jr.,  president  of  Ab- 
botts Dairies,  Inc.,  a  member;  accepted  a

portrait  of  the  late  Christian  R.  Lindback, 
former  honorary  chairman  of  the  Board; 
and  approved  a  raise  in  the  University's 
tuition  charges. 

Mr.  Kennedy,  who  has  been  employed 
by  Abbotts  Dairies  since  1912  was  elected 
vice  president  and  general  manager  of 
the  company  in  1940  and  president  in  1950. 
He  is  also  currently  serving  as  president 
of  the  International  Association  of  Ice 
Cream  Manufacturers.  He  has  been  fa- 
miliar with  Bucknell  for  many  years 
through  his  association  with  Christian  R. 
Lindback,  who  for  many  years  was  pres- 
ident of  Abbotts  Dairies  and  who  served 
Bucknell  as  a  trustee  from  1937  until  his 
death  in  1950. 

It  was  fitting,  therefore,  that  at  this 
same  meeting,  Mr.  Kennedy  should  form- 
ally present  to  the  University  a  portrait 
of  Mr.  Lindback.  In  making  the  presen- 
tation, Mr.  Kennedy  stated  that  he  was 
carrying  out  the  wishes  of  Mrs.  Lindback, 
who  died  during  the  past  year.  The  por- 
trait is  the  work  of  Augustus  May  and 
will  be  hung  in  a  suitable  location  on  the 
campus, 

Mr.  Lindback  received  the  honorary  de- 
gree of  Doctor  of  Laws  in  1941  and  was 
made  honorary  chairman  of  the  board  in 
1947. 

The  decision  to  raise  Bucknell's  tuition 
fees  was  made  to  meet  higher  costs  of 
operation,  and  to  maintain  higher  salaries 
for  the  faculty.  The  new  rates  will  be- 
come efTective  in  September  of  1956.  A 
previous  increase  in  fees  was  made  in 
September,  1951. 

Under  the  new  schedule,  all  resident 
women  students  and  all  resident  freshman 
men  will  pay  a  comprehensive  annual 
charge  of  $1500  to  cover  tuition,  general 
fee,  room,  and  board. 

Upperclass  men  living  in  East  or  West 
Ciillege  will  pay  a  comprehensive  charge 
of  either  $1400  or  $1500,  according  to  the 
ly|)e  of  room  selected. 

Non-resirlenI  shulcnts  will  lie  charged 
$700  for  tiiilion,  iilus  a  general  fee  of  $150, 
for  a  total  of  $8.50  a  year. 

Other  sludents  will  be  charged  $700  for 
tuition,  $150  for  general  fee,  $150  or  $250 
for  room,  depending  on  the  type  selected, 
and  $400  for  board. 


NECROLOGY 


1895 

BROMLEY  SMITH,  former  Buckuell 
and  Johns  Hopkins  University  professor 
of  English,  died  November  7,  19SS  at 
Culver,  Indiana.  Funeral  services  were 
held  at  Factoryville  with  interment  at  the 
Evergreen-Woodland  Cemetery  in  that 
town. 

Professor  Smith  has  been  called  the 
Father  of  Track  Athletics  at  Bucknell  and 
as  a  student  served  as  the  University's 
first  trainer;  during  his  senior  year  he  be- 
came unofficial  Director  of  Athletics.  His 
interest  in  the  sport  is  attested  by  the 
records  of  one  of  the  first  university  meets 
which  show  that  Professor  Smith  won 
three  of  the  nine  major  events  scheduled, 
thereby  acquiring  a  silver  cup  donated  by 
a  local  merchant. 

The  professor  obtained  his  master's  de- 
gree from  Bucknell  in  1896  and  joined 
the  Faculty  as  an  instructor  of  public 
speaking  in  1904.  He  taught  at  the  Uni- 
versity until  1919  when  he  resigned  to 
accept  a  position  at  Johns  Hopkins  Uni- 
versity. 

Professor  Smith  was  born  in  Philadel- 
phia in  1870  and  married  the  late  May 
Reynolds  of  Factoryville.  He  is  survived 
by  one  son,  Donald  Smith  of  Scotia,  N.  Y.; 
two  daughters,  Mrs.  Lewis  Welsh  of 
Huntingburg,  Ind.,  and  Mrs.  William 
Hudson  of  Baltimore.  A  son,  Bromley 
Smith,  Jr.,  was  killed  during  World  War 
I  while  the  family  resided  at  Lewisburg. 

1897 

ROBERT  OTTENS  KOONS  of  Shick- 
shinny,  a  medical  practitioner  for  more 
than  50  years,  died  at  his  home  on  Novem- 
ber 9,  1955. 

Dr.  Koons  was  born  in  Conyngham  in 
1875  and  entered  Bucknell  from  the  Hazle- 
ton  Seminary.  He  received  his  degree  in 
medicine  from  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania in  1900,  following  which  he  took 
postgraduate  work  at  Polyclinic  Hospital, 
Philadelphia. 

Dr.  Koons  practiced  medicine  at  Con- 
yngham until  1920,  with  the  exception  of 
the  years  he  served  in  World  War  I. 
Thereafter  he  practiced  at  Shickshinny 
until  his  death.  In  1950  he  was  honored 
by  the  Luzerne  County  Medical  Society 
for  his  50  years  of  medical  service. 

In  addition  to  medical  societies.  Dr. 
Koons  also  was  a  member  of  the  Shick- 
shinny American  Legion,  Hazleton  Lodge 
of  Masons,  Knights  Templar  of  Hazleton 
and  the  Conyngham  Lutheran  Church. 

He  is  survived  by  his  wife,  the  former 
Helen  J.  Leonard  '02;  a  daughter,  Con- 
stance Christian  of  Washington  Grove, 
Md.;  and  a  son,  John  M.  Koons,  M.S.  in 
Education,   1949. 

1900 

E.  JOSEPHINE  LAWSHE,  a  native 
and  resident  of  Lewisburg,  died  September 
24,  1955  in  the  Evangelical  Community 
Hospital  of  Lewisburg  where  she  had 
been  a  patient  for  one  week.  She  had 
been  in  ill  health  for  three  years. 

Miss  Lawshe  was  graduated  from  the 
Institute  in  1897  and  took  a  degree  in 
music  in  1900.  For  many  years  she  was  a 
private  teacher  of  the  piano  and  pipe  organ 
and  in  later  years  became  affiliated  with 
the  Equitable  Life  Assurance  Society. 

She  was  an  active  member  of  the  First 
Presbyterian  Church  of  Lewisburg  and 
was  interested  in  many  community  proj- 
ects. 

Surviving  are  a  sister,  Miss  Louise  W. 
Lawshe  '98  of  ■  Lewisburg;  a  brother,  E. 
Irland   Lawshe  '09   of  Frederick,   Md.;   a 


niece,    Mrs.    William    H.    Kemp,    and    a 
grandniece,  Mary  Kemp,  also  of  Frederick. 
Miss  Lawshe  was  buried  in  the  Lewis- 
burg  Cemetery. 

DR.  ANDREW  J.  SHERWOOD,  cap- 
tain of  the  Bucknell  track  team  in  1900 
and  father  of  Dr.  John  N.  Sherwood  '46 
and  Richard  M.  Sherwood  '47,  died  re- 
cently according  to  word  received  at  Lew- 
isburg. 

"Sherry,"  as  he  was  known  to  his  class- 
mates, practiced  medicine  for  nearly  50 
years  in  his  native  city  of  Uniontown,  Pa., 
after  having  received  his  medical  degree 
from  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  in 
1903.  He  married  Emma  V.  Anderson 
in  1907  and  they  had  three  sons,  the  first 
of  whom  died  at  an  early  age.  The  sec- 
ond son,  Richard,  is  currently  living  near 
Philadelphia  and  is  employed  by  the 
Atlantic  Refining  Company.  The  _  third 
son,  John,  is  practicing  medicine  in  his 
father's  office  at  Uniontown. 

In  addition  to  his  track  activities 
"Sherry"  Sherwood  was  a  member  of 
the  football  team  at  Bucknell  and  Phi 
Kappa   Psi  fraternity. 

In  later  years  Dr.  Sherwood  was  a 
friend  of  the  Bucknell  library  and  be- 
longed to  the  Masons,  and  Presbyterian 
Church,  the  University  Club  of  Erie  and 
the   Hunters'  Lodge  of  the  same  city. 

1901 

THOMAS  EVANS,  JR.,  who  practiced 
medicine  for  more  than  50  years  in  Pitts- 
burgh, died  October  23,  1955  after  a  useful 
life  of  n  years. 

He  was  born  in  Freeland  in  1878  and 
was  graduated  from  the  Bucknell  Acad- 
emy in  1897.  He  received  his  degree  in 
medicine  from  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania in  1905  and  later  studied  at  the 
University  of  Berlin  and  the  University 
of  Vienna. 

Dr.  Evans  became  a  gynecologist  at  the 
Pittsburgh  Hospital  in  1913,  and  with  the 
exception  of  overseas  duty  with  the  U.  S. 
Army  Medical  Corps  during  World  War 
I,  practiced  all  his  life  in  that  city.  In 
addition  to  holding  membership  in  a  num- 
ber of  medical  societies,  he  was  also  a 
past  president  of  the  Pittsburgh  Gyne- 
cology Society.  He  also  served  on  the 
staffs  of  the  Columbia  and  St.  Margaret 
Hospitals  of  Pittsburgh. 

Surviving  are  two  daughters.  Miss  Hel- 
en H.  Evans  and  Mrs.  Robert  Simpson ; 
three  brothers.  Dr.  William.  Evans,  Allen 
and  Arthur  Evans;  and  two  sisters,  Mrs. 
Beatrice  Evans  and  Mrs.  John  Hemsath. 

1903 

JAY  FOLLMER  BOND,  one  of  Buck- 
nell's  most  active  Alumni,  died  at  Fac- 
toryville on  October  24,  1955.  Although 
he  held  a  degree  in  forestry  from  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan,  Bucknell  was  his  true 
Alma  Mater. 

A  native  of  Milton,  Jay  Bond  attended 
Bucknell  for  three  years  and  then  trans-

AMONG  THE  CLUBS. 


BOSTON — Following  a  thrilling  football 
game  in  which  our  Bisons  fought  the 
Harvard  Crimson  to  a  26-26  tie,  38  Buck- 
nellians  and  friends  gathered  at  the  Bea- 
consfield  Hotel,  Boston  for  a  Roundup 
and  dinner. 

The  business  meeting,  presided  over  by 
President  Walt  Weidemann  '39,  followed 
the  dinner.  A  committee  for  the  selection 
o£  new  officers  was  appointed  and  was  asked 
to  meet  sometime  in  November.  Buck 
Shott,  General  Alumni  Secretary,  spoke 
briefly  on  the  work  and  plans  of  the 
Alumni  .\ssociation.  He  also  stressed  the 
need  for  active  can\-assing  in  New  Eng- 
land for  Bucknell  students. 

Our  new  President,  Dr.  Merle  Odgers, 
then  presented  a  very  inspiring  message 
on  the  plans  for  Bucknell's  Second  Cen- 
tury. He  outlined  the  progress  made  thus 
far  and  detailed  the  needs  for  future  ex- 
pansion. All  present  were  high  in  their 
praise  of  Dr.  Odgers.  who  was  making  his 
first  appearance  at  an  Alumni  meeting 
north  of  New  York. 

Walt  Weidemann  announced  plans  for 
our  next  meeting  to  be  held  on  February 
11.  This  will  be  a  dance  held  in  conjunc- 
tion with  the  University  Club  of  Boston 
which  represents  colleges  and  universities 
whose  alumni  reside  in  this  area.  A  mo- 
tion was  passed  that  a  congratulatory  tele- 
gram be  sent  to  Coach  Harry  Lawrence 
and  the  members  of  the  football  team  in 
recognition  of  their  outstanding  perform- 
ance in   Harvard  Stadium. 

See  you  in  February.

PACIFIC  NORTHWEST— A  small  but 
enthusiastic  group  of  Bucknell  Alumni 
and  their  families  met  on  August  2.  1955 
in  the  Student  Union  Building  on  the  Uni- 
versity of  Washington  campus  in  Seattle, 
Washington. 

The  meeting  was  called  to  order  by 
President  James  Egly  '42  who  then  stated 
that  due  to  the  lengthy  period  of  inactivity 
of  the  club  he  felt  it  appropriate  to  conduct 
this  meeting  in  an  informal  manner.  He 
further  stated  that  a  meeting  for  the  pur- 
pose of  reorganization  and  election  of  new 
officers  was  in  order.  It  was  suggested 
from  the  floor  that  a  special  committee  be 
appointed  for  the  purpose  of  programing 
such  a  meeting  to  be  held  in  early  Novem- 
ber. This  suggestion  met  with  the  ap- 
proval of  all  present. 

Each  Alumnus  present  was  then  asked 
to  identify  himself  and  guest,  stating  his 
class  and  then  giving  a  resume  of  the 
period  between  graduation  and  the  present. 
It  was  very  pleasing  to  welcome  the  re- 
cent graduates  who  were  new  to  the 
Northwest.

ment of  Music,  Director  of  the  University 
Band,  and  Director  of  the  Women's  Glee 
Club  and  Mrs.  Flock  were  introduced  by 
Mr.  Egly.  Professor  Flock  then  gave  a 
very  interesting  review  of  the  present 
situation  on  campus.  The  group  showed 
particular  interest  in  his  review  of  the 
construction  program,  of  the  increased 
curriculum  offered,  and  of  the  present  ad- 
ministration. 

Mr.  Egly  expressed  the  group's  appre- 
ciation to  Professor  and  Mrs.  Flock  for 
the  visit  and  asked  them  to  convey  back 
to  campus  our  renewed  loyalty.

ON  THE  CAMPUS 


Buckneli  Faculty  to  Sponsor  Science  Fair 

Bucknell  University  will  sponsor  a  sci- 
ence fair  for  high  school  students  on  April 
14,  according  to  plans  currently  being 
worked  out  by  members  of  the  Bucknell 
Faculty  and  representatives  of  secondary 
schools  in  the  area. 

Purpose  of  the  fair  is  to  create  a  greater 
interest  in  science  among  students  in  the 
Central  Pennsylvania  area  and  to  encour- 
age these  students  to  make  science  their 
life  work. 

The  percentage  of  students  entering  the 
various  fields  of  science  and  engineering 
has  been  falling  off  sharply  in  the  past 
decade  and  the  Bucknell  Faculty  has  been 
considering  for  some  time  steps  to  help 
reverse  the  trend. 

In  late  October,  at  the  instigation  of 
Admiral  Ernest  Eller,  director  of  engi- 
neering at  Bucknell,  a  meeting  of  science 
teachers  and  administrators  was  held  at 
the  University  for  the  purpose  of^  dis- 
cussing the  possibility  of  holding  a  science 
fair.  As  the  result  of  this  meeting  definite 
plans  were  made  to  go  ahead  with  the 
project. 

Representatives,  composed  largely  of 
teachers  of  science,  have  been  chosen  from 
Canton,  Harrisburg.  Lewisburg,  Selins- 
grove,  Shamokin,  Sunbury,  Wilkes-Barre 
and  Williamsport  and  the  effort  to  get 
high  school  students  to  prepare  exhibits 
for  the  fair  is  well  underway. 

The  Susquehanna  Science  Fair  will  fol- 
low closely  the  pattern  established  by  the 
Lehigh  Valley  Science  Fair,  which  has 
been  conducted  for  the  past  ten  years.  Dr. 
Emil  J.  Polak,  assistant  professor  of  math- 
ematics, is  chairman  of  the  science  fair 
committee  and  other  members  of  the  sci- 
ence departments  at  Bucknell  have  pledged 
themselves  to  help  any  students  who  might 
need  advice  and  assistance  in  their  efforts.

Phi  Gamma  Delta  Grads  Give 
IVIathewson  Portrait  to  House 

A  portrait  of  Christy  Mathewson  '02 
was  presented  to  Phi  Gamma  Delta  on 
Homecoming  night  by  the  Delta  Chapter 
Alumni  Association. 

Principal  speakers  at  the  ceremony  were 
Andy  Wyant  '92  and  Hans  Lobert,  former 
star  of  the  New  York  Giants  baseball 
team.  Mrs.  Mathewson  and  representa- 
tives from  the  administration  were  present 
for  the  presentation  of  the  portrait. 

Introduced  by  Turk  Jones  '29,  Wyant 
spoke  on  the  personal  character  of  Christy 
Mathewson    and   gave   a   short    sketch   of 


the  baseball  hero's  life.  Hans  Lobert 
spoke  of  his  experiences  with  Mathewson 
while  playing  for  the  Giants. 

The  portrait,  now  hanging  above  the 
dining  room  fireplace  in  the  chapter  house, 
is  a  copy  of  a  photograph  presented  to  the 
house  some  years  ago  by  Mathewson 
himself.  The  inscription,  "Our  hearts 
shall  turn  eternally  to  Delta  Chapter — 
(signed)  Christy  Mathewson"  has  been 
copied  from  the  photograph  and  appears 
in  gold  on  the  portrait.  The  portrait  work 
was  done  by  Joseph  Burgess,  a  noted 
painter  and  also  a  Phi  Gam. 

Ted  Groom  '56  accepted  the  portrait 
on  behalf  of  the  active  chapter. 


Bus  Blum,  Wife  to  Head 
Student  Tour  of  Europe 

S.  J.  "Bus"  Blum,  associate  professor  of 
physical  education,  and  Mrs.  Blum  are  cur- 
rently working  out  plans  to  conduct  a  67- 
day,  eight-country  student  tour  of  Europe

any  Alumni  who  might  care  to  take  advan- 
tage of  the  low  rates.  The  all-inclusive 
price  is  $1,098  for  the  67-day  tour,  which  is 
scheduled  to  leave  New  York  City  on  June 
29  and  return  September  3.  Transportation 
across  the  Atlantic  will  be  via  the  Nether- 
lands Government,  one-class  steamship,  the 
Groote  Beer. 

Transmarine  Tours,  Inc.,  is  the  organi- 
zation for  which  Professor  Harriet  Love 
and  Forrest  Brown  conducted  tours  of 
Europe  last  summer. 

Persons  desiring  further  information,  in- 
cluding a  detailed  itinerary,  should  address

Faculty  Revises  Regulations 
For  Selecting  Honor  Graduates 

On  the  recommendation  of  the  Commit- 
tee on  Academic  Standards,  the  Faculty 
has  accepted  the  following  resolutions 
concerning  honor  graduates: 

(1)  Criteria  for  selecting  honor  students 
at  Commencement  be  based  on  a  Grade 
Point  Average  System  as  follows: 

(a)  Summa  Cum  Laude — 2.900  or  over 

(b)  Magna  Cum  Laude— 2.700  to  2.899 

(c)  Cum  Laude— 2.400  to  2.699 

(2)  Each  candidate  for  honors  must 
have  taken  thirty  per  cent  or  more  of  the 
total  number  of  liours  required  for  gradua- 
tion, in  his  respective  curriculum,  in 
courses  numbered  above  199. 

(3)  Any  other  Faculty  regulations,  in- 
consistent with  this  resolution,  are  hereby 
rescinded. 

These  changes  are  based  on  a  study  of 
the  records  of  the  percentage  of  gradu- 
ating students  making  honors  during  the 
past  thirty  years.  Since  the  college  adopt- 
ed the  grade  point  system  six  years  ago, 
this  experience  made  it  possible  to  evalu- 
ate the  letter-grade  standards  previously 
employed  in  determining  honor  graduates. 
It  was  the  opinion  of  the  committee  that 
the  new  regulation  would  prove  to  be  a 
more  accurate  and  discriminating  basis  for 
selecting  honor  graduates. 

The  above  resolutions  will  go  into  effect 
for  the  graduating  class  of  1957.

Engineering  Alumni  Vote  to  Form  Organization 


Formation  of  a  permanent  organization  of 
Bucknell  engineering  alumni  was  authorized 
Homecoming  evening  at  a  dinner  meeting  of 
130  engineering  graduates  and  their  guests 
who  met  in  the  James  S.  Swartz  Hall  to 
discuss  the  development  of  the  University's 
engineering  program. 

An  alumni  committee,  consisting  of  Dr. 
Earl  M.  Richards  '13  of  Ocean  Grove,  N.  J., 
former  vice  president  of  Republic  Steel,  Dr. 
Lester  B,  Lighton  '20,  vice  president  of 
Electrical  Storage  Battery  of  Philadelphia, 
and  Dr.  Bruce  J.  Miller  '27.  vice  president  of 
Union  Carbide  and  Carbon  Co.,  was  em- 
powered to  appoint  an  executive  commit- 
tee to  set  up  the  new  organization. 

This  action  was  taken  after  the  group 
had  heard  several  speakers  who  outlined 
the  problems  faced  in  strengthening  the 
present  program  to  meet  the  current  high 
demand  for  well-trained  engineers.  Alumni 
speakers  included  Dr.  Richards,  Dr.  Ligh- 
ton, and  Dr.  George  A.  Irland  '15,  head  of 
the  electrical  engineering  department  at  the 
University. 

Ernest  M.  Eller,  retired  admiral  who 
was  recently  named  to  the  newly-created 
post  of  director  of  engineering  at  Bucknell, 
pointed  out  that  Bucknell  has  had  a  great 
engineering  past,  as  evidenced  by  the  suc- 
cess of  her  graduates  in  many  different 
fields. 

"Bucknell  can  have  a  great  engineering 
future,"  he  declared,  "if  our  alumni  will 
help  us  meet  some  of  our  current  problems." 


Admiral  Eller  cited  especially  the  need 
for  higher  faculty  salaries  in  order  to  pro- 
vide a  teaching  staff  of  the  highest  caliber 
and  the  necessity  of  making  greater  pro- 
vision for  graduate  research. 

He  quoted  from  a  message  sent  to  the 
dinner  by  Morris  D.  Hooven  '20,  who  is 
president  of  the  American  Institute  of  Elec- 
trical Engineers,  who  predicted  that  the 
professional  class  of  the  future  will  be  com- 
posed largely  of  the  engineer  and  the  scien- 
tist. 

It  is  estimated  that  22,000  engineers  will 
be  graduated  from  college  this  year,  but  that 
the  demand  is  for  just  about  twice  that 
number. 

"Bucknell,"  said  Admiral  Eller,  "wants 
to  be  of  the  greatest  possible  service  to  in- 
dustries in  the  central  Pennsylvania  area 
and  will  make  its  facilities  and  its  faculty 
available  for  research  projects  which  those 
industries  may  desire." 

The  extent  of  research  possibilities  at 
Bucknell  was  described  by  Dr.  Irland,  who 
added  that  the  University  has  available 
printed  booklets  outlining  these  possibilities 
in    detail. 

Admiral  Eller  called  attention  to  the 
fact  that  Bucknell  now  has  more  than  2,000 
engineering  graduates.  "With  their  back- 
ing," he  said,  "our  efforts  here  on  the 
campus  can  be  multiplied  a  hundred-fold  and 
Bucknell  can  continue  to  maintain  her  high 
reputation  in  the  engineering  field."

Pennsylvania  Light  Company 
Aids  Girl  Student  and  Bucknell 

Miss  Jean  E.  Xardi  '59,  of  Williamsport 
is  currently  attending  Bucknell  under  a 
Pennsylvania  Power  &  Light  Company 
scholarship,  which  means  that  she  is  not 
only  gracing  the  University  with  her 
presence,  but  also  helping  it  financially. 

The  twist  to  this  story  is  that  by  choos- 
ing Bucknell  for  her  education,  Miss  Nardi 
thereby  made  a  present  of  five  hundred 
dollars  to  the  University.  According  to 
the  terms  of  the  Pennsylvania  Power  & 
Light  Company  scholarship  program,  win- 
ners of  the  scholarships  are  given  five 
hundred  dollars  toward  their  college  tui- 
tion, but  in  addition,   the  company  gives 


an  equal  amount  of  money  to  the  college 
of  the   student's  choice. 

During  1955-56,  six  students  were  se- 
lected for  scholarships  from  the  area 
served  by  the  power  company.  The  pur- 
pose of  the  program  is  to  aid  deserving 
students  and  to  help  the  nation's  indepen- 
dent colleges  and  universities. 

Miss  Nardi,  who  is  the  daughter  of  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Louis  Nardi,  has  selected  a 
liberal  arts  program  at  Bucknell.  She 
plans  to  major  in  English  with  a  minor  in 
French  as  preparation  for  entering  the 
teaching  profession.

OFF  THE  CAMPUS 


John  S.  Burlew 
Institute  Director 

John  S.  Burlew  of  the  Class  of  1930  has 
taken  another  step   up. 

In  July  of  1954  he  became  assistant 
director  of  The  Franklin  Institute  of 
Philadelphia.  This  past  June  he  received 
the  honorary  degree  of  Doctor  of  Science 
from  Bucknell  and  now  he  has  been  made 
director  of  The  Franklin  Institute.  The 
appointment  was  announced  in  late  Octo- 
ber. 

An  English  major  at  Bucknell,  from 
which  he  \va>  ura-luated  magna  cum  laude. 


JOHN    S.    BURLEW 

Dr.  Burlew  has  continued  to  gain  honors. 
He  took  his  Ph.D.  from  Johns  Hopkins, 
where  he  was  elected  to  Phi  Beta  Kappa 
and  Sigma  Xi.  For  16  years  he  was 
physical  chemist  on  the  staff  of  the  Geo- 
physical Laboratory  of  the  Carnegie  In- 
stitute of  Washington.  During  World 
War  II  he  also  served  the  Government 
with  the  Office  of  Scientific  Research  and 
Development,  for  which  he  received  the 
Presidential  Medal  of  Merit. 

Prior  to  becoming  assistant  director  at 
The  Franklin  Institute,  Dr.  Burlew  was 
technical  director  for  the  Cambridge  Cor- 
poration of  Cambridge,  Mass. 

Among  professional  societies.  Dr.  Bur- 
lew is  a  member  of  the  American  Chemical 
Society,  the  Philosophical  Society  of 
Washington,  the  American  Nuclear  So- 
ciety and  the  American  Association  for 
the  Advancement  of  Science. 

He  is  married  to  the  former  Grace 
Schaum  '30  and  has  two  sons,  David  and 
Thomas. 


Tax 


Bucknellians  have  been  playing  a  promi- 
nent part  in  the  state-wide  effort  to  repeal 
the  present  15%  tax  on  charitable  bequests 
imposed  by  the  Commonwealth  of  Pennsyl- 
vania. 

Last  summer,  when  the  Alumni  Secretary' 
sent  out  a  request  that  Bucknell  Alumni 
living  in  the  state  sit  down  and  write  letters 
to  their  representatives  in  support  of  House 
Bill  727,  the  results  were  most  encouraging. 
These  letters,  plus  the  many  that  were 
penned  by  Alumni  of  other  Pennsylvania 
colleges  and  universities,  have  done  much 
to  convince  the  Legislature  that  the  tax  is 
an  unfair  one.  Actually,  Pennsylvania  is 
the  only  state  that  taxes  bequests  to  educa- 
tional   institutions.

Mag   Story   Has   B.    U.    Flavor 

The  story  published  in  IVomcn's 
Home  Companion  of  February,  1955, 
entitled  "It's  Been  Fun  But — "  by 
Dorothy  MacDowell  sent  us  searching 
our  directories  to  learn  about  Dorothy. 
The  reason :  her  story,  which  referred 
to  the  Bucknell  campus.  Dean  Cole- 
man, Half  Way  Dam  and  other  famil- 
iar Bucknell  references,  made  us  feel 
that  Dorothy  MacDowell  must  have 
spent  some  time  here  as  a  student.  At 
last,  after  searching  through  the  edi- 
torial oiBces  to  the  writer's  agent,  we 
find  that  Dorothy  MacDowell  is  the 
pen  name  of  Mrs.  Charlotte  H.  Billipp, 
the  mother  of  two  of  our  graduates, 
Charlotte  Hebberd  Billipp  '47,  who  is 
now  married  to  Jasper  H.  Frantz  '42 
and  lives  in  Rockville,  Md.,  and  Bram- 
ley  Hill  Billipp  '51.  Good  work,  Mrs. 
Billipp,  let  us  know — in  advance — 
when  you  publish  your  next  story  with 
a  Bucknell  background.  And  inci- 
dentally, was  that  Bucknell  coed  pic- 
tured in  your  story  typical  of  our 
college  women? 


As  the  result  of  this  activity.  Senate  Bill 
151,  the  companion  bill  to  House  Bill  727, 
was  brought  to  the  floor  in  late  November 
and  passed  unanimously.  At  the  present 
writing.  Senate  Bill  151  is  reposing  in  the 
House  Ways  and  Means  Committee  and  it 
is  hoped  that  it  will  be  brought  to  a  vote 
before   too   long. 

If  the  tax  is  eventually  repealed,  Buck- 
nell Alumni  will  have  earned  a  hearty  vote 
of  thanks,  not  only  from  their  own  Alma 
Mater,  but  from  every  privatelj'  supported 
institution  in  the  state. 


They  Represented  Bucknell 
Around  the  Country 

Bucknell  Alumni  continue  to  represent 
Bucknell  University  at  the  inauguration 
ceremonies  of  many  universities.  That  this 
kind  of  service  to  the  University  is  pleasant 
and  satisfying  in  most  cases  is  amply  illus- 
trated by  the  following  quotation  from  a 
recent  letter :  "Altltough  I  attended  with 
misgivings,  feeling  inadequately  prepared  for 
the  job,  I  was  soon  greatly  irnpressed  with 
the  ceremony  and  proud  to  be  representing 
Bucknell.  I  might  add,  too,  that  I  felt  closer 
to  Bucknell  than  at  any  other  time  in  the 
twenty  years  since  my  graduation."

WALTER    D.   CELMER 

The  new  drug  has  been  proven  effective 
against  certain  strains  of  bacteria  that 
have  become  resistant  to  other  antibiotics. 

Dr.  Celmer,  who  was  graduated  from 
Bucknell  cum  laude.  after  making  the 
Dean's  List  for  four  straight  years  as  a 
chemistry  major,  has  been  working  on 
antibiotics  ever  since  his  graduate  school 
days  at  the  University  of  Illinois,  from 
which  he  received  his  Ph.D.  in  1951. 

He  is  currently  living  in  Garden  City, 
Long  Island,  is  married  and  has  a  daugh- 
ter five  years  of  age. 

A  year  ago  he  was  able  to  get  close  to 
Lewisburg  when  he  came  to  Pennsylvania 
to  address  the  Central  Pennsylvania  Sec- 
tion of  the  American  Chemical  Society  at 
Pennsylvania  State  University.

JANUARY  1956 


Bucknell  Alumni  Census  of  1955 

Editor's  Xote — This  is  the  eighth  of  a  series  being  published  in  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALUMXUS  to  show  the  geographic  distribution  of  Bucknell  Alumni.  The  present  article 
reports  the  census  of  1955. 

The  accompanying  map  shows  the  state-by-state  distribution  of  the  16,275  former  stu- 
dents of  Bucknell  L'niversity  with  known  addresses.  The  count  was  made  in  October  1955 
and  includes  the  graduates  of  June  of  tltis  year.  The  state  list  shown  under  the  map  includes 
the  comparable  census  for  October  1954.  About  10%  of  our  Bucknellians  move  each  year 
and  tell  Alumni  Headquarters  of  their  new  address.  Another  59*  move  and  leave  no  for- 
warding address.  Experience  shows  that  about  250  copies  of  this  issue  of  THE  BUCK- 
XELL  ALL'MXL'S  will  be  returned  to  Alumni  Headquarters  as  undeliverable.  We  can 
improve  tliat  position  by  being  sure  to  tell  Alumni  Headquarters  when  and  where  we  move 
and  inform  the  office  about  Bucknellians  who  move  into  our  local  community.  The  post 
office  department  does  a  splendid  job  of  notifying  us  about  changes  of  address  that  it  has 
received,  but  a  sizeable  amount  of  tax  money  could  be  saved  if  everyone  notified  our  office  of 
a  change  of  address  BEFORE  moving.

Nation's  Business 
Eyes  Alumni  Giving 

Alumni  giving  has  become  a  pivotal 
factor  in  financial  strengthening  of  col- 
leges and  universities,  the  Council  for 
Financial  Aid  to  Education,  Inc.  has  as- 
serted in  releasing  a  cost-of-education 
survey  report  of  753  American  colleges 
and  universities.  The  success  with  which 
an  institution  of  higher  education  attracts 
annual  support  from  its  alumni  may  de- 
termine whether  a  college  ends  the  year 
in  the  blue  or  red;  and  the  extent  of 
alumni  giving  to  institutions  which  trained 
them  is  a  criterion  used  by  an  increasing 
number  of  corporations  to  determine  their 
own  support. 

Students  at  privately-supported  colleges 
and  universities  pay  from  40  to  60  per  cent 
of  the  costs  of  educating  them;  students 
of  state-supported  institutions  pay  20  per 
cent  of  the  educational  dollar,  the  council's 
survey  showed.  According  to  a  tabular 
summary  ending  the  report,  the  gap  is 
widening  between  income  from  tuition 
and  institutional  costs  in  spite  of  tuition 
increases. 

Rising  costs  of  education  have  far  out- 
stripped tuition  increases  in  all  institutions 
of  higher  education  excepting  the  profes- 
sional and  technological  schools,  according 
to  the  survey.  These  specialized  schools 
increased  their  tuitions  roughly  in  direct 
proportion  to  cost  increases.  But  in  the 
privately-supported  colleges  and  universi- 
ties, the  cost  of  educating  each  full-time 
student  rose  45  per  cent  at  66  independent 
universities,  46  per  cent  at  184  independent 
liberal  arts  colleges,  49  per  cent  at  125 
church-related  colleges,  and  58  per  cent 
at  26  church-related  universities.  These 
increases  were  over  the  five-year  span 
ending  with  the  academic  year  1952-53. 
Respective  tuition  increases  for  these  in- 
stitutions were  only  30,  24,  23,  and  26  per 
cent  during  the  five-year  span  ending  with 
the  academic  year  1953-54. 

Students  paid  20  cents  on  the  educa- 
tional dollar  spent  for  educating  them  at 
the  ta.x-supported  colleges  and  universities 
in  1952-53.  At  the  privately-supported  in- 
stitutions average  tuition  and  fees  paid  by 
the  student  accounted  for  45  to  66  per  cent 
of  the  cost  of  educating  him. 

The  highest  average  cost  of  operations 
was  at  the  184  non-denominational  inde- 
pendent liberal  arts  colleges  which  aver- 
aged $1060  per  full-time  student  per  in- 
stitution; and  at  the  80  professional  and 
technological  schools  which  averaged 
$1065  per  full-time  student  per  institution. 

Privately-supported  colleges  and  univer- 
sities therefore  attach  increasing  impor- 
tance to  the  annual  giving  by  alumni,  the 
council  stated  in  the  survey  report.  Gifts 
to  the  alumni  fund  arc  a  form  of  repay- 
ment of  a  loan  by  society,  it  said.  These 
are  not  only  a  means  of  supplying  a  per- 
son's Alma  Mater  with  badly  needed 
funds  for  current  operations  but  they  are  a 
means  of  repaying  the  costs  of  education. 

Gifts  by  alumni  to  their  colleges  have 
double  force,  the  council  pointed  out. 
Business  concerns,  now  being  asked  in- 
creasingly to  help  support  the  nation's 
colleges  and  universities,  liave  a  clearly 
stated  preference  for  those  whose  alumni 
already  are  helping  in  a  substantial  way. 
They  regard  their  gifts  as  a  supplement 
to,  not  a  substitute  for,  alumni  giving. 
.Several  companies,  led  by  General  Elec- 
tric, are  now  offering  to  match  (up  to 
$1,000)  annual  gifts  to  the  respective 
.■iliimni  funds  by  college  Kra<Iuates  in  the 
ciinipany's  employ.

Lewisburg  Kills  Sunday  Movies 

In  a  local  referendum  vote  in  the 
Borough  of  Lewisburg  in  November, 
the  option  of  having  Sunday  movies 
was  voted  down  by  a  50  vote  major- 
ity. An  unofficial  count  shows  771 
votes  against  the  option  and  721 
votes  in  favor. 

The  Borough  is  divided  into  three 
wards,  two  of  which  voted  against 
the  option  and  one  voted  in  favor. 
Votes  from  all  three  wards  were  tal- 
lied in  an  over-all  count.  Four  years 
ago,  the  option  was  defeated  by  a 
167  majority  and  eight  years  ago  it 
was  defeated  by  an  even  larger 
majority. 

Milton  residents,  voting  on  the 
same  question  in  reference  to  Sun- 
day movies  in  that  area,  passed  the 
option    for   the    first   time. 

Pennsylvania  Sunday  Blue  Laws 
outlaw  the  showing  of  Sunday  mov- 
ies in  the  state  unless  30%  of  those 
voting  at  the  last  election  petition 
the  local  district  to  have  the  issue 
on  the  ballot. 


Diary  of  James  Moore  II,  Given  to  B.  U.  by  Heirs 


Friends  of  Library 
To  Hear  C.  B.  Follmer 

Two  more  meetings  of  the  Friends  of 
the  Bucknell  Library  are  scheduled  for 
this  academic  year.  On  Sunday,  March  4, 
Mr.  George  Hersey,  instructor  of  art  at 
Bucknell,  who  has  a  major  interest  in 
American  architecture,  will  talk  to  the 
Friends  on  "Lewisburg  Architect."  Mr. 
Hersey  has  already  done  considerable  re- 
search on  the  University's  architecture  and 
recently  presented  a  paper  on  that  sub- 
ject to   the   Scholars'   Club  of  the   Faculty. 

The  final  meeting  of  the  year  for  the 
Friends  will  be  held  on  Sunday,  April  15, 
when  Hon.  Cyrus  B.  Follmer  '16,  recently 
retired  U.  S.  Consul  to  Calgary,  Canada, 
will  discuss  some  of  his  experiences  in  the 
diplomatic  service. 

All  meetings  of  the  Friends  are  sched- 
uled for  3:00  P.  M.  in  Room  201  of  the 
Ellen  Clarke  Bertrand  Library  and  are 
open  to  the  public  as  well  as  to  all  mem- 
bers of  the  Bucknell  family.  A  reception 
and  a  tea  are  held  after  each  meeting. 

The  first  two  meetings  of  the  year  were 
held  on  October  30  when  Dr.  Mildred 
Martin,  professor  of  English,  discussed 
"T.  S.  Eliot  and  Religion",  and  on  Decem- 
ber 4,  when  Dr.  Ts-Zung  Koo,  visiting 
professor  of  Oriental  studies,  played  songs 
of  Old  Cathay  on  his  bamboo  fiute. 

Chapel  Choir  Tours 

'  The  Bucknell  University  Chapel  Choir 
made  its  annual  fall  tour  during  Novem- 
ber, visiting  Arlington,  Va.,  Baltimore, 
Md.,  and  Wilmington,  Del.  The  47-voice 
a  cappella  group,  which  has  become  one 
of  the  best  known  choirs  in  the  East,  is 
directed  by  Dr.  William  D.  McRae,  asso- 
ciate professor  in  the  Department  of 
Music. 

Britons  Win  Close  Debate 

A  touring  team  of  British  debaters  from 
Cambridge  University  gained  a  2-1  deci- 
sion over  Bucknell  at  Lewisburg  early  this 
past  fall.  Taking  the  negative  side  of  the 
subject,  "Resolved:  That  the  Non-Agri- 
cultural Industries  Should  Guarantee  Their 
Employes  an  Annual  Wage",  Kenneth 
W.  J.  Post  of  Chatham,  Kent  and  John 
G.  York  of  London  triumphed  over  Ron- 
ald McCreery  '57,  of  McKeesport  and 
Tames  Roman  '58  of  Jamestown,  N.  Y.

Perhaps  the  most  noteworthy  gift  to  the 
Bucknell  Library  during  the  past  six 
months  has  been  eight  volumes  of  the 
personal  diary  of  James  Moore  II,  first 
treasurer  of  Bucknell  and  one  of  its  found- 
ing fathers.  The  diary  covers  the  last 
decade  of  his  life,   1845-1855. 

The  diary  was  presented  to  the  Univer- 
sity this  past  summer  by  six  of  James 
Moore's  great-great-grandchildren,  Harold 
E.  Moore,  William  C.  Moore,  Glen  Allen 
Moore,  Mrs.  Reba  Goodale,  Mrs.  Helen 
Nutley  and  Mrs.  Marian  Masser,  but  spe- 
cial credit  is  also  due  to  Mrs.  Blanche  K. 
Baughman,  senior  assistant  in  the  Bert- 
rand Library,  who  spent  three  years  in 
search  and  correspondence. 

The  bookplates  in  the  eight  volumes 
note  that  they  are  given  in  memory  of 
Allen  R.  Moore,  1867-1953,  the  father  of 
the  above  six  progeny. 

It  is  quite  fitting  that  this  diary  should 
be  returned  to  Lewisburg  and  especially 
to  Bucknell,  since  it  was  written  in  the 
large  stone  house  that  still  stands  along 
Route  15  between  Lewisburg  and  West 
Milton,  and  since  its  author  was  a  moving 
force  behind  the  founding  of  the  Lewis- 
burg Baptist  Church,  the  Academy  and 
the  University.  He  was  an  original  trustee 
of  the  L'niversity  and  served  from  1846 
until  his  death  in  1855. 

Prominent  in  Area 

James  Moore  II  was  a  prominent  per- 
son in  the  area.  He  was  a  farmer,  a  con- 
tractor, a  portable  bank,  a  leading  Baptist 
layman,  a  temperance  advocate,  a  judge, 
a  fisherman,  a  hunter,  an  avid  reader,  and 
possibly  a  historian.  His  diary  is  an 
especially  fine  addition  to  Bucknell's  col- 
lection of  Central  Pennsylvaniana  since  it 
throws  considerable  light  on  how  James 
Moore  spent  his  declining  years. 

James  Moore  II  was  born  at  Perth  Am- 
boy,  N.  J.  in  1781,  but  came  to  Snyder- 
town,  near  Sunbury,  around  1800.  He 
eventually  purchased  a  farm  between 
Lewisburg  and  West  Milton,  which  be- 
came known  as  Mooresdale  and  which 
originally  included  the  property  now  used 
by  the  Evangelical  Church  as  the  Oak 
Heights  Camp  Meeting  grounds.  As  a 
successful  and  wealthy  member  of  the 
community,  James  Moore  II  was  involved 
in  many  matters.  His  diary  shows  that 
he  did  considerable  traveling  to  nearby 
communities  as  well  as  to  Philadelphia. 
In  fact,  from  his  notes  we  come  to  learn 
that  the  stagecoach  fare  between  Philadel- 
phia and  Harrisburg  was  $2.90  and  that 
cakes  purchased  en  route  at  Reading  cost 
only  five  cents.  We  also  learn  that  his 
annual  county  tax  amounted  to  $16.54,  his 
state  tax  to  $33.11,  his  school  tax  $10.11 
and  his  road  tax  $8.30,  including  two 
dollars  he  paid  to  a  workman. 

In  his  diary,  James  Moore  II  tells  us 
that  he  attended  many  conventions  of  the 
Baptist  Church  and  that  it  was  up  to  him 
to  see  that  the  local  minister.  Rev.  Joel 
Bradley  received  his  salary.  He  fulfilled 
that  duty  by  visiting  various  members  of 
the  church  and  collecting  on  their  pledges. 
Being  a  businessman  as  well  as  farmer,  he 
has  made  a  number  of  financial  entries  in 
his  diary.  There  is  considerable  informa- 
tion about  whose  notes  he  held  and  how 
much  was  due.  In  fact,  one  can  readily 
see  that  he  served  the  area  as  a  traveling 
bank. 

Prices  Noted  Are  High 

The  prices  he  records  are  surprisingly 
high— $1.00  a  bushel  for  wheat,  $2.50  for 
a  shirt  purchased  at  Philadelphia  and 
$2.50  for  a  shawl  for  Mrs.  Moore,  also 
purchased  on  a  business  trip  to  the  City 


of  Brotherly  Love.  On  the  other  hand 
he  tells  us  that  his  bill  for  himself,  Mary 
and  the  horses  was  only  $1.37^  for  one 
night  en  route  to  Philadelphia.  The  trip, 
incidentally,  took  two  days. 

His  mail  and  the  many  newspapers  to 
which  he  subscribed,  were  delivered  to  the 
Milton  Post  Office,  where  he  picked  them 
up  at  regular  intervals.  Baptist  publica- 
tions, the  Miltonian,  the  Philadelphia  Satur- 
day Evening  Post  are  among  the  periodicals 
mentioned. 

As  a  judge,  he  naturally  was  interested 
in  politics  and  we  find  that  he  voted  for 
Zachary  Taylor  in  November,  1848  and 
that  two  days  later  he  learned  that  Taylor 
was  leading  in  most  sections  of  the  coun- 
try. He  does  not  tell  us  much  about  the 
cases  he  heard,  but  he  does  record  that 
his  wages  and  mileage  for  a  week  amount- 
ed to  $7,621/2. 

Once,  when  it  was  too  cold  to  work  in 
his  shop,  he  noted  that  he  spent  the  day 
in  writing  a  history  of  Wyoming.  At 
another  time  he  tells  of  going  hunting  for 
deer  at  White  Deer,  without  success.  In 
fact,  he  records  that  he  left  his  powder 
horn  near  a  spring  and  lost  an  hour  re- 
turning for  it.  His  expedition  to  White 
Deer  for  trout  was  considerably  more  suc- 
cessful. 

James  Moore  tells  us  of  going  to  a 
church  meeting  in  the  basement  of  the 
new  Lewisburg  church  and  of  paying  $15 
for  a  new  coat,  of  buying  glass  and  other 
items  for  the  new  church  and  of  how  his 
son,  James  Moore  III,  told  the  gate  pro- 
prietor on  the  Philadelphia  turnpike  to 
charge  the  toll  to  their  company. 

Baptism  in  December 

Being  a  bridge  builder  it  is  not  surpris- 
ing to  find  the  record  of  a  dividend  of 
$3.45  on  some  bridge  stock  and  as  a  Bap- 
tist layman  one  naturally  would  expect 
some  mention  of  the  baptism  of  Mrs.  Wil- 
helm,  wife  of  Henry  Wilhelm,  in  the  river. 
"AH  went  off  orderly",  even  though  the 
date  was  December  13,   1846. 

The  same  year  he  estimates  that  5000 
persons  attended  the  funeral  of  General 
Hamond  and  the  Baptist  church  was  dedi- 
cated. He  also  bought  a  buggy  from  John 
Shomaker  of  Milton  for  a  double  barreled 
fowling  "peace"  and  an  order  on  Mosteller 
and  Swank  for  $62.50. 

His  first  mention  of  the  University  is 
October  29,  1845,  when  he  writes:  "met 
Br.  Bradley,  the  Doctor  and  Joseph 
Meixell  at  Br.  Woolfs  to  consult  upon  the 
proporyaty  of  establishing  a  literary  insti- 
tution at  Lewasburg,  Pa.  under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  Baptist   Denomynation." 

Thereafter  there  are  numerous  short 
notes  about  trustee  meetings  and  visits  to 
the  college  property.  He  notes  his  pay- 
ment of  $80  on  his  pledge  of  $1000  to  the 
University  and  also  tells  how  he  worked 
all  day  on  the  footbridge  to  the  college. 
He  and  three  other  men  dug  12  post  holes, 
felled  an  elm  tree  and  hauled  five  loads 
of  stone.  A  week  later  the  bridge  was 
almost    finished. 

The  last  entry  which  he  made  in  his 
diary  was  dated  May  20.  1855.  Nine  days 
later  he  was  dead,  having  caught  pneu- 
monia on  a  ride  to  White  Deer  on  May  21. 


The  first  member  of  the  Kiwanis  Club  of 
Lewisburg  to  accept  the  chairmanship  of  a 
state  committee  of  that  organization  is  Dr. 
C.  Hershel  Jones,  associate  professor  of 
political  science,  who  in  November  was  ap- 
pointed Pennsylvania  district  chairman  of 
vocational  guidance. 

JANUARY  1956 


PORTS 


by   VAL   PINCHBECK,  JR.,   Athletic  Publicity 


Varsity  Football 

A  summation  of  Buckneirs  1955  football 
season  would  be  incomplete  without  the 
expression — "it's  not  the  game,  but  how 
you  play  it."  Coach  Harry  Lawrence's 
Herd  completed  festi\-ities  with  a  far  from 
imposing  2-6-1  record,  a  ledger  that  did 
not  come  close  to  telling  the  entire  foot- 
ball stor\-  at  Bucknell  for  the  year  1955. 

First  of  all,  the  Bisons  took  on  a  sched- 
ule that  was  the  toughest  arranged  for  a 
Bucknell  gridiron  team  since  World  War 
II,  a  card  that  included  such  formidable 
foes  as  Miami.  Colgate  and  Harvard.  Sec- 
ondly, the  Herd  embarked  on  the  cam- 
paign with  a  line  devoid  of  all  its  1954 
regulars  and  11  of  the  14  men  who  made 
up  the  first  and  second  string  forward 
walls.  Sophomores  and  former  third 
stringers  were  forced  into  positions  previ- 
ously held  by  battle-tested  veterans. 

Yet  the  team  never  quit.  The  Bisons 
defeated  -\lbright  and  Temple,  gave  Le- 
high a  scare  before  succumbing  by  one 
touchdown,  deadlocked  a  favored  Harvard 
team  and  carried  a  fine  Delaware  combi- 
nation into  the  second  half  before  falling 
27-12  in  a  snowstorm. 

Plaudits  were  tossed  at  the  Bucknelli- 
ans.  although  victories  were  often  too 
elusive.  At  Miami,  the  Herd  went  down 
to  a  46-0  defeat  without  anything  akin  to 
humiliation.  A  post-game  consensus  of 
fans  and  press  alike  praised  the  Bisons  for 
spirited  play.  Jack  Harding,  the  Hurri- 
cane Athletic  Director,  pointed  at  the 
Bucknell  team  as  it  left  the  field  and  said 
"there's  a  team  that  wouldn't  quit." 

At  Boston,  where  the  Herd  became  the 
first  collegiate  team  in  known  history  to 
be  unjustly  deprived  of  two  downs,  the 
men  of  Lawrence  bounced  back  from  a 
19-6  deficit  to  earn  a  26-26  deadlock.  With 
seconds  remaining  the  Bisons  tossed  a 
forward  pass  in  a  victory  attempt,  although 
they  could  easily  have  settled  for  the  tie 
and  a  definite  moral  victory.  Said  one 
post-game  newspaper  report,  "The  Buck- 
nell forward  pass  was  significant  and  me- 
morial. It  informed  the  twin  hemispheres 
that  Bucknell  wasn't  content  to  settle  for 
a  tie — that  it  was  playing  for  victory,  and 
was  willing  to  gamble  a  possible  loss 
against  the  triumph.  In  other  words,  the 
Bisons  came  to  play,  and  they  surely  did. 
Harvard  had  the  edge  in  statistics,  but 
refusal  to  quit  and  that  ol'  Dee-zyre  made 
up  the  deficit,  as  it  often  does." 

"Ves,  the  season  was  a  success  in  many 
respects,"  commented  Lawrence.  "We 
didn't  win  a  lot  of  football  games,  but  the 
boys  certainly  gave  it  everything  they  had. 
They  were  as  spirited  a  bunch  as  I've  ever 
coached." 

Bucknell's  season-opening  25-14  victory 
over  Albright  and  the  27-6  and  27-20  losses 
to  Gettysburg  and  Lehigh,  respectively, 
were  reported  in  the  November  ALUM- 
NI'S. The  six  remaining  games  shaped 
up  this  way: 

TEMPLE.  The  Bisons  copped  their 
sixth  straight  home  game  over  a  two-year 
period  and  sent  a  Dads'  Day  crowd  honu- 
in  a  happy  mood  by  pasting  Temple  .^8-0 
under  cloudy  skies.  Six  rlifTercnt  Buck- 
ncllians  lugged  the  tell  over  the  Owl  goal 
line  as  the  Herd  retained  custody  of  the 
coveted  "Old  Shoe"  trophy. 

LAFAYETTE.  Joe  Bozik,  a  .sophomore 
.\larrxin  quarterback  who  could  easily  find 
work  as  a  magician,  directed  Lafayette  to 
a  34-1.1  win  over  the  Bisons  despite  a  fine 
individual  effort  on  the  part  of  Bucknell 
junior  quarterback  Jimtny  Stewart.  Slew- 
art    exhibited    triide-thrrat    form    against 

I  \Vt;ARV   1«',<1 


the   host   team — as    a    kicker,    passer   and 
runner. 

HARVARD.  An  underdog  Bison  team 
almost  pulled  the  rug  out  from  under 
Harvard's  Crimson  by  narrowly  missing 
a  victory  and  coming  away  with  a  26-26 
tie.  Fullback  Bob  "Thunderbird"  Ford 
ripped  the  Harvard  line  to  shreds  inside 
the  20  and  scored  three  touchdowns. 

COLGATE.  One  of  the  best  Red  Raid- 
er teams  in  recent  years  had  too  much 
power  and  line  ability  for  the  Herd  in  the 
annual  Homecoming  game  and  marched 
to  a  decisive  35-7  triumph.  Halfback  Bob 
Sierer  bounced  back  from  leg  injuries  to 
spark  the  Bisons  with  two  30-yard  gallops. 

MIAMI.  Big  league  football  proved  to 
be  just  that  in  the  Orange  Bowl  as  Mi- 
ami's power-laden  Hurricanes  ran  around 
and  tossed  over  the  Herd  to  the  tune  of 
a  46-0  victory.  Bucknell  gained  132  yards 
on  the  ground,  but  the  hosts  throttled  the 
Bison  air  wing  and  held  the  Herd  score- 
less. 

DELAWARE.  Snow  replaced  the  usual 
rain  and  mud  for  Delaware  and  the  Blue 
Hens  and  fullback-halfback  Andy  Wagner 
put  on  a  second  half  spurt  that  netted  a 
27-12  win.  Reserve  Bison  fullback  Don 
Koppes  was  the  crowd!  ??)-pleaser,  how- 
ever, with  128  }-ards  gained  on  18  carries, 
the  best  performance  by  a  Bucknell  back 
all  year. 


Basketball 


As  November  gave  way  to  December, 
football  gave  way  to  basketball  at  Buck- 
nell and  it  appeared  that  things  were  very 
definitely  on  the  upgrade  in  the  latter  field 
of  athletic  endeavor. 

Three  years  ago  the  powers  that  be  at 
the  300  acres  decided  that  the  time  was 
ripe  to  place  some  added  emphasis  on  the 
sport  entitled  basketball.  Bison  hardwood 
teams  had  gone  from  bad  to  worse  and 
in  five  seasons  had  posted  records  of  5-17, 
2-18,  5-16,  9-13,  and  8-16.  It  was  time  for 
a  change  and  a  change  was  made.  Benton 
.•\.  Kribbs,  a  highly  successful  court  men- 
tor at  Clarion  State,  was  brought  in  as 
head  coach  and  a  new  policy  was  mapped 
for  basketball. 

.A.  period  of  transition  began  that  was 
not  obvious  to  the  naked  eye.  The  '52-'53 
varsity  five  recorded  a  3-16  log  and  the 
following  year  a  4-16  ledger  was  far  from 
spectacular.  During  the  '53-'54  campaign, 
however,  the  Bucknell  freshman  team  reg- 
istered a  gaudy  15-2  record.  Last  winter 
the  situation  was  much  the  same.  The 
Bison  varsity,  dominated  by  non-experi- 
enced sophomores,  was  able  to  win  but 
three  of  21.  On  the  other  hand,  a  frosh 
group  finished  with  13  triumphs  in  15  out- 
ings. 

Thus,  the  present  Bucknell  varsity 
squad  is  made  up  almost  completely  of 
players  who  won  28  of  32  as  freshmen 
against  yearling  teams  from  the  various 
schools  against  which  the  Bisons  also 
compete  on  a  varsity  level,  And  the  pres- 
ent frosh  team,  accordhig  to  Coach  Bill 
Lane,  rales  in  the  same  bracket  with  the 
past  two. 

Can  this,  then,  be  the  year  that  P.iukii'.ll 
basketball  will  make  its  long  awaiti-d 
surge?  I'nfortuiiately,  the  answer  is  prob- 
ably still  no.  The  surge  should  come  ne.\t 
year.  The  big  jum])  in  (|ualily  has  ar- 
rived, however,  and  the  present  season 
should  be  one  that  shows  vast  iniprf)ve- 
inenl. 

Last  season,  despite  the  fact  that  the 
I'ison  entry  set  a  new  all-time  record  by 
averaging  no  less  than  76.4  points  per 
game,    the     Bucknell    team    larked    three 


prime  ingredients — height,  depth  and  ex- 
perience. This  year  two  of  the  three  have 
been  almost  completely  erased.  Kribbs  has 
a  15-meniber  squad  which  is  composed  of 
numerous  capable  performers,  especially 
in  the  way  of  outside  men.  He  also  com- 
mands seven  juniors  who  can  now  be 
considered  battle-tested  veterans. 

Height,  then,  may  be  the  1955-56  Orange 
and  Blue  bugaboo.  Veteran  6-4  John 
Beatty,  who  posted  a  12.9  average  last 
winter,  is  the  only  seasoned  and  proven 
big  man  on  hand,  although  another  junior. 
6-4  A]  Kenzie,  is  a  returning  letternian 
with  considerable  game  experience.  Bison 
fortunes  may  hinge  on  the  rapid  develop- 
ment of  6-7  soph  Jim  Beidleman  and 
classmates  6-5  Bob  'Taylor  and  6-4  Jack 
Hunter.  Beidleman  looked  impressive  in 
Bucknell's  season-opening  71-68  victory 
over  Juniata.  He  tallied"  11  points  and, 
more  important,  came  away  with  14  re- 
bounds. 

On  the  outside,  the  Herd  is  well  forti- 
fied with  speed  and  shot-making  ability. 
Junior  lettermen  Norm  \'oorliees,  Joe 
Baccelli,  Marty  Tannenbaum  and  Mike 
Corrigan,  fellows  who  averaged  better 
than  10  points  per  contest  last  season, 
lead  the  parade  with  senior  Ben  Slavitt 
and  sophomores  John  Strizzi  and  Skip 
Wieder  also  high  up  on  the  list. 

_  By  the  close  of  Christmas  vacation, 
Kribbs  expects  to  have  a  good  line  on  the 
strength  of  this  court  combination.  The 
Bisons  will  have  played  strong  Colgate 
and  Lehigh  teams  and  participated  in'the 
Hofstra  Tournament.  Bucknell's  goal  for 
'S5-'56  is  a  50-50  split  but  ne.xt  year,  adds 
Kribbs,   the   sights   will  be  set   higher. 


Soccer 

Bucknell's  soccer  team,  directed  ably 
by  veteran  coach  Hank  Peters,  completed 
the  fall  campaign  with  a  4-4-2  record  and 
just  missed  the  championship  of  the 
Northwest  League  of  the  Middle  Atlantic 
Soccer  Conference. 

The  Bisons,  captained  by  senior  full- 
backs Al  Christenson  and  Herb  Kopp, 
scored  victories  over  Delaware,  Gettys- 
burg, Western  Maryland  and  F  &  M,  fell 
before  Temple,  Penn  State's  defending 
National  Champions  and  Drexel  and  tied 
Wilkes  and  Elizabethtown  in  regularly- 
scheduled  matches.  Drexel  topped  the 
Herd  in  a  post-season  re-match  to  garner 
the  league  crown. 

Against  Penn  State,  the  Bison  hooters 
almost  pulled  one  of  the  upsets  of  the 
year.  Leading  3-2  at  halftime,  Bucknell 
extended  the  Lions  to  the  limit  before 
succumbing  4-3. 


Wrestling 


The  Orange  and  l'>ku-  wrestlers,  with 
football  line  coach  Bill  Wrabley  at  the 
helm  for  the  first  time,  embark  on  a  sev- 
en-match slate  later  this  month.  The 
Herd  will  tackle  the  same  seven  foes  it 
faced  last  winter  and  also  compete  in  the 
.■nnni.-il   MiddU'  .'Xtlantic  m;ilches.

Bucknell  Holds  Conference  on  Area  Needs 


The  Bucknell  Institute  of  Local  Studies, 
headed  by  Dr.  R.  E.  DuWors,  professor  of 
sociology,  and  Dr.  Wendell  I.  Smith,  profes- 
sor of  psycholog}',  is  currently  concerning 
itself  with  the  possibility  of  forming  an  or- 
ganization for  area  development.  A  confer- 
ence on  the  subject,  held  at  Bucknell  in 
November,  was  a  further  step  in  an  inter- 
esting project  that  has  been  developing  on 
the  campus. 

Back  in  1951,  when  the  Bertrand  Library 
was  opened,  the  Friends  of  the  Bucknell 
Library,  in  conjunction  with  the  Library 
Committee  of  the  Faculty,  agreed  that  Buck- 
nell should  make  an  effort  to  collect  as  much 
historical  material  pertaining  to  the  Central 
Pennsylvania  area  as  possible.  Considerable 
progress  has  been  made  in  this  direction. 

Later,  Professor  DuWors  became  inter- 
ested in  the  collection  and  in  the  problems  of 
the  region  and  began  a  series  of  surveys  of 
local  towns  as  part  of  the  advanced  work  of 
the  Sociology  Department.     The  results  ob- 


tained in  these  surveys  by  Bucknell  students 
began  to  attract  attention  with  the  result  that 
the  Bucknell  Institute  of  Local  Studies  was 
formed,  and  wider  fields  were  considered. 

This  led  to  the  conference  which  the  insti- 
tute sponsored  on  November  16.  The  pro- 
gram included  addresses  by  a  representative 
of  the  Pennsylvania  Chamber  of  Commerce, 
by  the  Pennsylvania  Secretary  of  Commerce, 
Mr.  John  Davlin,  and  by  representatives  of 
the  Pennsylvania  Department  of  Labor  and 
Industry  and  the  LT.  S.  Department  of  Com- 
merce. These  talks  were  followed  in  the 
evening  by  a  discussion  on  the  possibilities 
of  an  area  development  organization. 

Another  outgrowth  of  this  work  has  been 
the  establishment  at  Bucknell  of  a  course 
entitled  "The  Central  Pennsylvania  Project" 
in  which  Professor  Smith  has  assisted  Pro- 
fessor DuWors.  Henry  Lambert,  Jr.  '57,  is 
student  research  assistant  for  the  Institute  of 
Local  Studies,

New  Post  for 
Dr.  Coleman 


Dr.  William  H.  Coleman,  vice  presi- 
dent and  dean  of  Bucknell  University, 
will  retire  from  the  post  as  dean  of  the 
college  in  June,  in  accordance  with  the 
University's  retirement  program.  Presi-

meeting  of  the  faculty. 

After  July  1,  Dr.  Coleman  will  fill  the 
newly-created  position  of  vice  president

policies  of  Bucknell. 

"We  are  ver\-  happy  that  the  Univer- 
sity will  have  Dr.  Coleman's  services  for 
the  1956-1957  college  year  in  this  new 
capacity,  since  his  wide  knowledge  of 
sound  education  practices  and  his  thor- 
ough understanding  of  our  institution. 
gained  over  a  period  of  31  years,  eminently 
qualify  him  for  the  work  which  we  have 
asked  him  to  undertake,"  President  Od- 
gers said. 

As  part  of  the  general  program  of  self- 
study  of  which  Dr.  Coleman  will  be  the 
secretary,  a  Core  Committee  of  five  mem- 
bers of  the  faculty-  has  already  been  ap- 
pointed by  President  Odgers.  who  will 
serve  as  its  chairman. 

Dr.  Coleman  has  been  associated  with 
Bucknell  since  1924  and  has  held  his  pres- 
ent position  of  vice  president  and  dean 
since  1953. 

He  served  as  head  of  the  English  De- 
partment at  Bucknell  before  being  named 
dean  of  the  college  in  1945  and  eight  years 
later  was  appointed  vice  president. 

Well-known  scholar  and  lecturer,  Dr. 
Coleman  is  a  graduate  of  Acadia  Univer- 
sity in  Xova  Scotia.  He  later  studied  at 
Yale  Universit}-,  the  University  of  Wis- 
consin, Harvard,  and  Cambridge  Univer- 
sity in  England.  He  received  his  Doctor 
of  Literature  degree  at  Acadia. 

Dr.  Coleman  began  his  college  teach- 
ing career  at  Bates  College  in  1914.  He 
ne.xt  served  as  professor  of  English  at 
Furman  University,  coming  from  that  in- 
stitution to  Bucknell.  Upon  occasion  he 
has  lectured  at  the  famous  Bread  Loaf 
School  of  English  at  Middlebury  College. 

He  has  been  a  frequent  contributor  to 
periodicals,  including  the  noted  "Quarter- 
ly Review"  of  London,  and  is  co-editor  of 
"Western  World  Literature,"  a  widely- 
used  college  textbook  now  in  its  16th 
printing. 

Because  of  his  high  standards  of  schol- 
arship, Dr.  Coleman  has  been  elected  to 
membership  in  numerous  professional  and 
honorary  organizations.  He  was  a  foun- 
dation member  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  when 
the  Bucknell  chapter  was  installed  at  the 
college  in  1940.  In  1954,  he  served  as 
president  of  the  Eastern  Association  of 
College  Deans  and  Advisers  of  Men. 

Two  years  ago,  Dr.  Coleman  was  large- 
ly instrumental  in  securing  from  the  F.  W. 
Olin  Foundation  a  grant  of  $900,000  to 
build  and  equip  a  new  science  building  at 
Bucknell.

It  is  regretted  that  a  number  of  ex- 
cellent prospective  candidates  were  not 
suggested  until  after  the  deadline  date  of

didates will  appear  on  the  ballot.  The 
deadline  for  suggesting  candidates  for  that 
election  is  October  15,  1956.  Let's  all 
look  over  the  field  of  excellent  Bucknell

didate or  two  to  the  Alumni  Secretary  at 
any  time  between  now  and  October  15,

Plan  to  Reune 
In  June 

June  1956  Alumni  Reunion  plans  are 
underway. 

An  increasing  number  of  Bucknellians 
return  to  the  campus  every  June  for  Alum- 
ni Day  because  they  have  learned  thai 
classmates  and  friends  are  doing  likewise. 
However,  each  June  a  number  of  classes 
plan  special  events  to  commemorate  the 
five-year  reunion  of  the  class  group.  Com- 
mittees are  already  at  work  in  most  re- 
union classes,  and  a  majority  of  them  will 
be  publishing  special  reunion  anniversary 
books.  Alumni  of  these  reunion  group 
classes  are  urged  to  assist  by  filling  out  a 
questionnaire  even  though  they  cannot,  be- 
cause of  great  distance,  attend  the  reunion. 
Members  of  these  classes  should  be  on 
the  alert  for  the  class  letter  and  ques- 
tionnaire which  should  reach  them  within 
the  next  few  weeks.  When  it  does,  two 
steps  should  be  taken.     They  are: 

1.  Respond  promptly  to  the  first  "Call 
to  Reune  in  June"  you  get  from  yotn" 
Class  Reunion  Planners. 

2.  Plan  to  be  in  Lewisburg  for  Alumni

It  was  good  to  see  '07  once  more  on 
the  Honor  Roll  in  alumni  giving,  despite 
the  years  we  ranked  second  among  the 
classes  of  the  past  half-century  in  per- 
centage of  contributors,  and  first  in  the 
number  of  gifts  In  Memoriam.  The  con- 
tinued high  standing  is  chiefly  due  to  the 
unflagging  efiforts  of  Mary  Stanton  Speich-

Although  Dr.  Frank  G.  Davis  has 
reached  Emeritus  status  on  the  Bucknell 
faculty,  don't  expect  him  to  "retire."  In 
fact,  he  has  just  recently  been  elected  to 
these  offices:  (a)  to  the  delegate  assem- 
bly of  the  National  Vocational  Guidance 
Association,  (b)  to  the  delegate  assembly 
of  the  Association  of  Guidance  Directors, 
and  (c)  elected  for  two  years  to  represent 
Pennsylvania  in  the  Adult  Education  As- 
sociation of  the  USA.  These  additional 
jobs  will  help  to  keep  him  busy,  but  not 
too  busy  to  enjoy  several  rounds  of  golf 
weekly. 

We  regret  to  iiifiirm  you  of  the  death 
of  Mr.  Clarence  Kaiser  Pugh.  He  died 
in  December  of  1954.  His  last  known  ad- 
flrcss  was  7325  Briar  Road,   Philadelphia.

I  am  really  a  member  of  the  Class  of  '49,  but 
I  have  enjoyed  reading  your  class  news  for  the

your  recent  experiences,  travel,  grandchil-

and  England,  where  they  attended  the 
Baptist  World  Alliance,  meeting  in  Lon-

of  a  group  and  they  toured  the  Lake  re- 
gion made  famous  by  Sir  Walter  Scott, 
parts  of  historic  places  in  England  and 
London  and  then  a  brief  stay  in  Paris. 
The  trip  was  made  by  air  all  the  way.

Hello  Folks:  You  should  have  been 
back  for  Homecoming.  Glad  to  see  Ralph 
Derr,  Earle  Pedigo,  Brick  Yon,  and  Coz 
Seemann.  Think  we  were  the  only  seven- 
teeners  back.  I  scanned  the  reunion  board 
and  couldn't  find  any  others.  Why  don't 
you  come?  I  saw  many  friends  of  other 
classes.  That's  almost  as  nice  as  seeing 
your  own. 

Forrest  G.  Walter,  Milton  musician  and 
composer,  has  recently  completed  and 
published  a  Christmas  Cantata  for  mixed 
chorus.  Good  Tidings  of  Joy.  Mr.  Walter 
has  been  associated  with  the  field  of  music 
as  a  musician  and  composer  since  1917. 

Jim  Case  reports  he's  been  with  A  T&T 
for  nearly  40  years.  Expects  to  retire  in 
a  couple  of  years  and  settle  in  Coral 
Gables  where  they'll  be  near  their  two 
little  granddaughters  (as  they  call  them). 
Jim  gets  back  to  Lewisburg  about  once  a 
month  (inarried  a  Lewisburg  girl,  Mar- 
garet O'Brien)  and  says  he  has  watched 
BU  grow  steadily.  For  the  last  35  years, 
he  has  lived  near  John  Hendren  '19  and 
Ed  Keogh  '19  and  they  get  together  often 
and  have  many  good  times.  John  is  on 
our  Philadelphia  Club  Executive  Commit-

One  reply  in  ten  isn't  a  very  good  aver- 
age. The  one  kind  soul  who  returned  a 
blank  to  me  was  Charles  A.  Kissell,  439

Charles,  after  teaching  in  Duncannon, 
Port  Royal,  Hummelstown,  settled  down 
to  teaching  mathematics  in  the  Lower 
Merion  Senior  High  School,  Ardmore, 
Pa.,  in  1938,  and  that  is  where  you  will 
find  him.  He  took  his  M.S.  at  Penn  State

From  the  Duquesne  University  Neivs  we 
learn  that  Francis  P.  McDermott  under- 
went a  serious  operation  at  Pittsburgh 
last  spring  and  is  now  hale  and  hearty  as 
ever. 

We  also  learned  that  the  Dukes  credit 
Frank  with  having  put  their  athletic  pro- 

20 


gram  on  a  sound  basis.  It  started  back 
in  the  fall  of  1924,  when  Frank  went  look- 
ing for  a  job  in  order  to  pay  his  way 
through  law  school.  On  the  strength  of 
his  reputation  as  a  football  and  baseball 
player  at  Bucknell,  Frank  was  made  as- 
sistant football  coach  at  Duquesne  Prep. 
The  next  year  he  moved  up  to  head  coach 
and  director  of  athletics.  During  the  time 
he  was  in  law  school,  Frank  added  varsity 
tennis  and  track  to  the  program,  strength- 
ened the  basketball  situation  and  created 
the  Tri-State  Conference.  In  1927,  with 
a  law  degree  in  his  hand,  Frank  left  Du- 
quesne to  return  to  Luzerne  County  and 
practice  law.  He  later  became  city  solici- 
tor for  Nanticoke.

Milly  in  their  beautiful  new  home  and 
saw  pictures  of  their  married  son  and

weeks  before  the  B-29  on  which  he  was 
navigator  crashed  on  training  flight  and 
the  13  men  aboard  given  up  as  lost  on 
September  8.  At  that  time  Bob  talked 
of  revisiting  the  campus,  renewing  old 
acquaintances,  and  his  forthcoming  mar- 
riage to  a  Bucknell  undergraduate.  His 
death  occurred  with  startling  suddenness 
and  was  an  especial  blow  to  all  his  Oki-

Who's  to  pay 
the  cost  of 
education  ? 


'  TY/H-^T^^^'*  ^^^  plan,  there  must  be  more  support  per  person 
VV  and  per  corporation.  We'll  all  just  have  to  dig  a  little  deeper. 
In  recent  years,  our  bill  for  organized  education  in  all  categories 
has  been  running  at  less  than  4'r  of  the  Gross  National  Product. 
\^  ith  predicted  growth  in  our  national  output,  if  we  can  increase 
only  a  little  the  percentage  spent  on  education,  our  needs  will  be 
met. 

"Under  tlie  Corporate  Alumnus  Program,  tlie  General  Electric 
Educational  and  Charitable  Fund  matches  up  to  §1,000  donated 
by  employees  to  their  alma  maters.  This  concept  is  based  upon 
the  belief  that  the  individual  decisions  of  thousands  will  form  a 
sound  basis  for  widespread  support  of  education  . . .  The  respon- 
sibility of  the  alumni  group  is.  I  believe,  to  sell  the  idea  that  in  a 
free  economy  in  the  long  run  it  is  desirable  that  the  real  cost  of 
education  be  borne  by  the  individual  who  gets  the  education  and 
benefits  from  it."* 

—  PHILIP   D.    REED, 

Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  General  Electric  Company 


How  far  can 

our  aid  to 

education  go? 


'rpms  approach  (Corporate  Alumnus  Program)  is  only  a  start. 
J.  But  it  is  rooted  in  the  recognition  that  you  and  I  can't  longer 
continue  to  run  a  progressive  and  productive  school  system  on  a 
charity  basis.  I  will  answer  the  question  as  to  who  should  pay  for 
a  college  education  by  offering  the  cold-nosed  conclusion  that  in 
a  free  economy  in  the  long  run  it  both  should  be,  and  rightfully 
can  be.  the  man  who  gets  the  education :  and  that  should  be  made 
clear  to  him  the  day  he  starts  to  get  it. 

"Of  course,  we  also  favor  business  support,  for  business  draws 
many  of  its  ablest  profit-making  human  resources  from  your  insti- 
tutions. We  must  examine  such  support,  however,  instance  by  in- 
stance, and  never  let  it  slide  into  any  license  to  dictate  policy  or  to 
restrict  academic  activities  ably  conceived  by  courageous  and 
level-headed  educators  who  are  truly  alert  to  both  the  challenges 
and  the  opportunities  of  the  economy  and  the  society  in  which 
they  live."* 

—  HAROLD   F.   SMIDDY, 

Vice  President.  Manasement  Consultation  Seriices.  General  Electric 


What  obligation 

does  an 
alumnus  have? 


Is  it  such  a  revolutionary  idea  that  the  real  cost  of  education  be 
borne  by  the  individual  who  gets  that  education  and  benefits 
from  it?  Not  necessarily  across  the  barrel  head,  not  necessarily  all 
at  once,  and  not  necessarily  even  under  certain  sets  of  circum- 
stances. But  I  submit  that  it  is  an  unhealthy  idea  for  an  individual 
to  expect  society  to  pay  his  education  bill,  any  more  than  to  expect 
society  to  pay  for  his  food,  clothing,  shelter,  hospitalization,  vaca- 
tions, and  ultimately  for  ihc  eduialiun  of  his  children  and  grand- 
children, too. 

"One  of  the  first  tilings  that  business  babes  in  the  education 
woods  learned  was  that  practically  nobody  pays  tlie  real  cost  of 
his  educaliiui.  One  reason  is  that  he  is  never  asked  to  pay  il.  We 
have  acknowledged  tiiat  liie  organization  of  which  an  individual 
is  a  part  sliures  the  benefits,  and  we  are  willing  to  iielp  pay  the 
bill  —  but  this  is  a  joint  undertaking."*

"How  Important  Can  It  Be?" 


oc 


30 


The  title  of  one  of  the  popular  songs  suggests  something  for  alumni 
to  think  about  in  195  6. 

What  about  the  year  ahead?  Just  how  "important  can  it  be"  to 
Bucknell,  and  to  all  of  us  interested  in  Bucknell?  The  answer,  of  course, 
is  that  195  6  can  be  mighty  important! 

For  one  thing,  with  the  bulging  high  school  population  causing 
headaches  for  college  admissions  people,  Bucknell  will  have  increasing 
problems  in  freshman  selection.  Too  few  alumni  realize  the  important 
public  relations  role  they  can  play  in  aiding  good  selection.  Many  parents 
and  high  school  students  form  important  first  impressions  through  Buck- 
nell alumni  in  their  communities.  What  you  do — and  what  you  say 
about  your  Alma  Mater — can  sometimes  mean  the  difference  between  a 
good  student  deciding  on  Bucknell  or  some  other  college. 

What's  more,  many  people  "outside"  the  Bucknell  family  will  look 
closely  at  the  record  of  alumni  giving.  As  more  of  us  are  represented  in 
the  Alumni  Fund,  Bucknell  stands  to  get  more  grants  and  gifts  from 
philanthropic  foundations  because  they  prefer  to  help  institutions  which 
have  a  good  record  of  helping  themselves. 

Space  doesn't  permit  mentioning  many  other  reasons  why  19  56  is 
an  important  year  for  alumni,  but  all  in  all,  it  presents  quite  a  challenge 
for  us  especially  in  view  of  the  splendid  record  of  interest  and  service 
during  195  5!  The  Alumni  Fund  reached  a  record  of  $3  3,820 — and  total 
alumni  giving  was  well  over  $400,000!  More  alumni  than  ever  before 
served  the  University  through  the  Board  of  Directors,  the  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation, personal  solicitation  for  the  Alumni  Fund,  and  at  the  local  level 
in  alumni  club  activities  highlighted  by  receptions  for  incoming  freshmen 
and  high  school  contact  committees. 

A  Happy  New  Year  to  Bucknell  alumni  everywhere! 

Sincerely, 

William  S.  Liming,  Preside/it 
General  Alumni  Association

MARCH      1956 


What  the  Ford  Foundation  Gift  to  Bucknell    .       ....       . 

Means  to  You  as  a  Bucknell  Alumnus  |n    I  lllS   ISSU6 

There  was  elation  on  the  Bucknell  campus  when  the  Ford  Founda-  == 
tion  announced  on  Tuesday,  December  13,  195  5,  that  the  University 
was  to  receive  an  endowment  fund  for  faculty  salaries  in  the  amount  of 
$5  38,100.  Such  a  Christmas  gift  has  not  come  to  Bucknell  for  many 
long  years.  There  was  general  agreement  that  the  officials  of  the  Ford 
Foundation  had  made  a  master  stroke  to  help  strengthen  American 
education  at  its  base — the  quality  of  its  teaching. 

Earlier  this  year,  Henry  Ford  II  said,  "Nowhere  are  the  needs 
of  the  private  colleges  more  apparent  than  in  the  matter  of  faculty 
salaries.  Merely  to  restore  professors'  salaries  to  their  1939  purchasing 
power  would  require  an  average  increase  of  at  least  20%.  Even  this 
would  not  bring  teachers  in  our  private  colleges  to  their  economic 
position  before  World  War  II  in  relation  to  that  of  other  professions 
and  occupations.  They  have  not  begun  to  share  the  benefits  of  the 
expanded  productive  power  of  this  nation,  and  the  whole  educational 
system  suffers  from  this  fact." 

What  will  this  grant  really  mean  in  the  salary  checks  of  Bucknell 
professors?  Under  the  plan  specified  by  the  Ford  Foundation,  the 
college  will  receive  the  income  on  the  endowed  amount  of  $5  3  8,100  or 
$20,000  to  $25,000  a  year,  the  equivalent  of  about  a  4'/  increase  in 
salary.  Since  the  teaching  profession  is  already  20'/  below  the  1939 
level  of  purchasing  power,  it  must  be  apparent  to  all — and  to  Buck- 
nellians  in  particular — that  even  more  must  be  done  to  bring  these 
dedicated  educators  to  the  level  of  income  they  deserve. 

Bucknellians  can  all  be  proud  of  the  start  made  in  this  direction 
since  the  establishment  of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  in  1948.  True, 
the  fund  was  not  established  to  contribute  to  faculty  salaries  directly, 
but  every  dollar  of  Alumni  Annual  Giving  has  released  a  dollar  in  the 
general  budget  for  a  variety  of  University  services,  including  faculty 
salaries.  For  instance,  Alumni  Fund  gifts  of  $33,000  last  year,  released 
that  many  dollars  for  the  hundred  and  one  services  and  supplies  re- 
quired to  operate  a  University.  If  50%  or  60%  of  us  had  contributed 
last  year,  instead  of  the  2 1  %  on  the  roll  of  contributors,  we  would  have 
been  able  to  take  further  steps  to  close  the  gap  that  needs  to  be  filled 
before  college  teachers  reach  the  1939  purchasing  power. 

In  other  words,  the  "big  one-time"  gift  is  not  nearly  so  important 
to  the  University  as  a  regular  program  of  ainmal  giving  by  a  large  per- 
centage of  our  Alumni.  We  can't  just  "watch  the  Fords  go  by."  We 
must  instead  steal  a  page  from  the  advertising  directory  of  another  au- 
tomobile company  and  pitch  in  with  our  Alumni  dollars  on  the  theory 
that,  "When  a  better  University  is  built,  BuckneUians  will  build  it." 

Another  angle  worth  considering  is  a  comparison  between  the 
income  to  the  University  from  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  and  the 
income  from  increased  tuition  fees,  to  become  effective  next  September. 
It  will  require  the  gift  of  60%  of  our  16,000  Bucknell  Alumni  to  pro- 
vide (at  the  present  average  contribution)  just  one  half  of  the  money 
that  will  be  raised  through  tuition  increases.  Wouldn't  it  be  fine  to 
have  16,000  Bucknellians  decide  that  they  can  provide  the  University 
with  an  amount  at  least  equal  to  the  tuition  increases  to  be  paid  by 
2,000  present  Bucknell  students?  When  it  is  remembered  that  every 
Alumnus  was  the  beneficiary  of  a  hidden  scholarship  provided  by  some 
past  Bucknellian,  is  it  too  much  to  expect  that  we  might  meet  this  goal 
and  in  effect  say  to  the  Ford  Foundation,  "Thank  you  for  raising  facul- 
ty salaries  4%  ;  now  we  Alumni,  through  our  Alumni  Annual  Giving 
Fund,  will  boost  salaries  at  least  another  4%  ?"

The  Cover  Pictures 

Early  March  is  not  exactly  spring 
but  we  believe  you  will  agree  that  the 
front  and  back  cover  pictures  selected 
for  this  issue  do  show  several  familiar 
campus  views  to  their  best  advantage. 
The  front  cover,  the  roadway  in  front 
of  the  Vaughan  Literature  Building,  is 
supposed  to  lure  you  to  the  campus  on 
Saturday,  June  9,  1956.  Won't  you 
join  us  on  that  day  when  the  Alumni 
parade  gathers  at  this  spot.  Sunshine 
and  cloud  formation  are  guaranteed  for 
the  day  (last  year  it  rained). 

On  the  back  cover  you  are  seated 
(dating  no  doubt)  on  the  steps  of  the 
old  library  (now  the  Carnegie  Build- 
ing). In  my  day  such  activity  (dating, 
that  is)  called  for  a  swift  paddling  by 
the  Senior  Council.  Come  to  think  of 
it,  it  was  just  about  early  March  that 
Aleshouckas  (now  Allen)  and  I  got 
our  paddling  for  dating  Laura  Smith 
and  Angle  Ivissinger.  So  this  picture 
recalls  an  anniversary  for  your  editor.

CHRISTY  MATHEWSON  -  -  GREAT  ATHLETE, 

SOLDIER  AND  CHRISTIAN  GENTLEMAN 


By   A.    R.    E.    WYANT   '92 


(Editor's  Xote)  Christy  Mathewson,  gone  Uiese 
thirty  years,  is  still  mentioned  almost  weekly  on 
the  sports  pages  of  metropolitan  daily  papers. 
Nor  is  he  forgotten  on  the  Bucknell  campus.  "We 
are  pleased  to  present  here  the  dedication  ad- 
dress deli\'ered  by  Dr.  Andrew  R.  E.  Wyant  "92 
when  Christy-'s  portrait  was  unveiled  at  the  Phi 
Gamma  Delta  House  on  Bucknell's  Homecoming 
Day.  November  5.  1955.  In  preparing  his  address 
"Andy"  said.  "I  tried  to  spiritualize  athletics  for 
the  religious  encouragement  of  the  present  gen- 
eration who  seem  to  be  in  a  more  receptive 
mood." 


'T'HIRTy  years  ago  many  sent  tributes 
-'-  of  beautiful  flowers  to  Christy's  funeral, 
but  many  more  offered  widely  published  trib- 
utes to  his  character.  In  my  address  I  shall 
try  to  weave  them  together  into  one  great 
garland  of  praise  to  make  fragrant  his  mem- 
ory. His  character  was  such  a  comple.x  of  so 
many  good  qualities  as  almost  to  elude  com- 
plete analysis ;  so  we  shall  know  him  better  if 
1  give  you  the  added  testimony  of  many  who 
knew  him  as  a  friend.  I  am  also  including 
some  personal  observations  to  stimulate  each 
one  of  us  to  ask  the  question:  "What  did 
Christy  have  in  his  realised  philosophy  of 
life  that  I  need  and  icant  in  my  lifcf" 

I  shall  not  primarily  try  to  eulogize  his 
wonderful  athletic  accomplishments,  but 
rather  to  emphasize  his  life  philosophy  and 
elements  of  character  which  inade  him  great. 
I  cannot  hope  to  stimulate  you  to  practice 
drop-kicking  until  you  can  make  a  goal  from 
the  48-yard  line  or  pitch  baseball  until  you 
can  master  the  fade-away  curve,  in  two 
great  sports  that  elevated  Christy  to  the 
summit.  But  there  are  things  in  which  you 
can  emulate  his  noble  e.xample. 

His  Belief  in  God 

'T'HE  first  thing  I  note  about  Christy's  life 
-'-  is  that  he  believed  in  God  and  joined  the 
church  while  here  at  Bucknell.  Someone 
.said,  "Christy  got  religion  and  religion  got 
him."  It  was  not  of  the  emotions  only,  but 
the  threefold  work  of  the  Holy  Spirit  gave 
him  right  convictions  concerning  sin,  right- 
eousness and  judgment.  While  a  student  I, 
too.  received  those  convictions  and  as  Jesus 
\va.s  the  great  Teacher,  Preacher  and  Physi- 
cian, I  have  tried  to  follow  Him  in  those 
three  professions.  If  any  of  you  have  not 
followed  Christy's  example  let  me  counsel 
you  to  take  this  step  which  you  will  never 
regret,  (iive  God  the  central  place  in  your 
life. 

.\  great  cornerstone  of  our  American  Way 
of  Life  is  the  priority  of  religion  in  all  things. 
Chri.sty  put  first  things  first  as  did  our  Pil- 
grim and  I'uritan  fathers  and  later  fore- 
hears.  He  Itelievcd  in  the  goodness  of  (jod 
and  the  friendliness  of  the  universe.  He 
l)elicvcd  that  the  laws  of  nature  are  the 
laws  of  God,  and  tliat  the  wisdom,  power 
and  gofwlncss  of  God  are  manifest  in  the 
creation  of  men  whose  bodies  are  to  be 
tcniplc-s  of  the  Holy  .Spirit,  He  made  the 
care  of  his  body  a  part  of  his  religion. 

Jesus  In  the  Parable  of  the  Talents  says : 
"To  him  that  hath  shall  be  given  and  to  him 
tliat  hath  not  shall  Ik  taken  away  even  that 
which  he  hath."  It  sounds  strange  if  you 
r|o  not  note  that  Jesus  is  speaking  of  the 
um;  of  talents.  This  is  the  law  of  muscle, 
money,  tnind  and  s/;ul :  extirpation  through 
^■(Uw.  Christy  kept  his  Ixjdy,  mind  and 
l.irit  in  go'"!  condition  through  activity, 

Hia  Christian  Home 

A.S'OTHKK  great  cornerstone  of  our 
.American  way  of  life  i.s  the  Christian 
family  in  which  marriage  is  not  only  a 
fcllowithip  of  haiipiness  tml  also  a  fellowship 

.M.ARfll  i(>-.« 


CHRISTY    MATHEWSON 

of  service  and  sacrifice  in  the  rearing  of 
children.  Our  .American  family  life  is  in 
contrast  with  that  of  old  Me.xico.  When 
Cortez  in  1519  came  to  conquer  Mexico,  no 
.Spanish  women  were  permitted  to  come 
along,  only  men  and  priests.  The  result  was 
that  Cortez  seized  an  Indian  princess  to  be 
his  concubine  and  his  soldiers  followed  his 
bad  e.xample  and  seized  Indian  maidens  as 
concubines  and  with  their  venereal  diseases 
poisoned  the  Indian  life  at  its  source  and 
thus  established  a  sort  of  barnyard  morality 
down  there.  In  contrast  with  that  way  of 
life  our  Puritan  and  Pilgrim  fathers  brought 
over  their  mothers,  sisters,  wives  and  sweet- 
hearts and  the  Christian  family  life  was  es- 
talilished  here. 

Strict  Sabbath  Observance 

CHRISTY  was  reared  in  a  Christian  fam- 
ily. He  had  a  good  mother  who  incul- 
cated the  strict  religious  requirements  of  her 
day.  .Among  these  was  strict  Sabbath  ob- 
servance during  his  boyhood  days  and  when 
he  entered  professional  baseball  she  asked 
him  to  promise  not  to  play  baseball  on  Sun- 
days. 1  had  the  same  strict  Sabbath  train- 
ing. When  my  uncle  Andy  Wyant,  after 
whom  I  was  named,  was  home  from  college 
and  got  up  early  one  Sunday  morning  to  go 
to  .Sunday  .School  and  church,  and  finding 
no  kindling  in  the  wood  bo.x,  went  out  to  the 
wood  pile  to  split  some  and  was  seen  by  two 
deacons,  he  was  churched  for  working  on 
.Sunday  and  his  church  membershi])  was  sus- 
Iiended  for  three  mcjnths. 

That  training  had  its  influence  on  my  life 
and  I  never  played  golf,  tennis,  bowling  or 
other  sports  on  .Sunday.  And  strange  to 
say  I  never  studiol  my  school  books  on  Sun- 
day during  my  entire  university  career.  It 
was  a  day  for  religious  study  and  activities. 
It  seemed  to  work  out  well  with  me  for 
notwithstanding  time  spent  in  tennis,  foot- 
ball and  other  extra-curricular  activities  1 
managed  lo  graduale  smniiKt  riiiii  hniilc  wilh 
Phi    Beta    Kappa   key   later, 

Christy  kept  his  promise  to  his  mother 
and  never  played  baseball  on  Sunday  dur- 
ing his  entire  career,  I'erhaps  some  Old 
Testament  laws  have  a  iihysiological  basis 
and  he  was  heller  physically  and  emotionally 
hy  resting  from  his  game  one  day  in  seven. 


His  Mother's  Influence 

/^HRISTY  owed  a  great  deal  to  his  moth- 
^  er's  teaching  and  example,  Jesus  had 
a  good  mother.  It  is  not  necessary  to  be- 
lieve in  her  sinless  perfection.  She'  did  not 
understand  all  her  son's  words  and  ways 
but  she  remembered  them,  "pondering  them 
in  her  heart."  She  had  her  weakness  and 
failing  as  when  she  took  her  lad  up  to  Jeru- 
salem and  went  home  a  day's  journey  before 
she  missed  him.  She  then  returned  and 
sought  him  with  sorrowing  heart  until  she 
found  him. 

Jesus  grew  in  wisdom  and  stature  and  in 
favor  with  God  and  man.  How  much  he 
owed  to  his  mother  we  do  not  know ;  but 
we  do  know  that  sons  like  Jesus  will  be 
possible  only  so  long  as  we  have  mothers 
like   Mary. 

Lincoln  had  a  great  mother  and  .said :  ".Ml 
I  am  or  hope  to  be  I  owe  to  my  angel 
mother."  Like  Christy  I  also  had  a  wonder- 
ful mother.  She  taught  school  at  19  and 
was  especially  interested  in  the  education  of 
her  children  who  received  11  college  and  uni- 
versity degrees  before  she  died  in  her  nine- 
tieth year.  When  I  graduated  from  Buck- 
nell in  '92  and  went  home  I  hold  her  that 
I  was  going  to  the  new  University  of  Chi- 
cago for  my  graduate  work,  she  sadly  said : 
"Oh  my  boy,  you  are  going  so  far  away ; 
when  will  I  ever  see  you  again."  I  said : 
"Mother,  I  am  going  to  see  you  every  year 
as  long  as  you  live  if  I  can  possibly  arrange 
it."  I  made  31  trips  from  Chicago,  31,000 
miles,  before  she  died,  and  she  also  came 
to  see  me  in  Chicago. 

Divinely  Called  to  Service 
yriS  mother  planned  that  Christy  should 
-'--'-  enter  the  ministry,  but  God  had  another 
plan  for  him.  Every  man's  life  is  a  plan  of 
God.  There  is  a  divine  call  to  every  useful 
service.  There  is  a  divine  call  to  each  of 
you  as  well  as  for  ministers.  Christy  Math- 
ewson was  evidently  called  of  God  to  be  a 
reformer  in  the  world  of  athletics.  It  is 
sometimes  overlooked  that  Christy  made  at 
Bucknell  a  greater  reputation  in  football 
than  in  baseball.  Walter  Camp  called  him 
the  greatest  drop-kicker  in  .America.  Buck- 
nell lacked  in  number  of  men  and  man 
power  to  compete  with  many  other  colleges 
in  the  rough  ground  tactics  which  still  pre- 
vailed after  my  day.  Christy  took  to  the 
air  as  a  droii-kicker  of  goals  which  counted 
for  5  points  against  a  gi'ound-goal  of  4 
points.  He  used  his  head  and  practiced  drop- 
kicks  hour  after  hour  until  his  skill  against 
I.eliigh,  Pennsylvania  and  West  Point  gave 
him  a  national  reputation. 

Football  Needed  Reformation 

FROM  my  own  experience  1  knew  that 
early  Bucknell  football  needed  reforma- 
tion. We  were  too  poor  to  hire  a  coach  and 
the  coaches  of  other  teams  played  on  the 
teams  against  us.  There  was  only  one  offi- 
cial referee  to  watch  22  men  and  rough  tac- 
tics was  the  rule  instead  of  the  exception. 
Brawn  was  more  in  evidence  than  brains. 
Brutal  physical  contacts  and  injuries  multi- 
plied until  the  game  was  described  as  11 
prize  lights  going  on  at  the  same  time.  John 
L,  .Sullivan  .said:  "I  won't  mix  up  in  no  foot- 
b:dl  business.  It's  loo  rough.  I'm  willing 
to  stand  up  and  fight  like  a  man,  but  when 
yon  try  to  pull  me  into  a  riot  where  every- 
thing from  g(juginK  to  breaking  of  backs 
goes,  you  can  bet  your  life  I'd  rather  take 
my  chance  in  a  railroad  accident  or  in  some- 
thing where  there's  a  look-in."

MARCH  m.-ili 


Please  Vote  in  April 

On  Page  4  you  will  rind  the  names,  pic- 
tures and  biographical  records  of  the  three 
candidates  chosen  to  stand  for  election  as 
Alumni  Trustee  to  the  Board  of  Trustees 
of  Bucknell  University.  One  is  to  be 
elected  by  the  general  alumni  body  in 
April  for  a  term  of  five  years. 

The  candidates  were  carefully  chosen 
from  a  larger  group  of  nominees  suggest- 
ed by  local  alumni  clubs,  class  presidents. 
class  reporters,  fund  managers,  members 
of  the  Board  of  Directors  and  the  Alumni 
Fund  Committee,  as  well  as  former  alum- 
ni trustees  and  former  presidents  of  The 
General  Alumni  Association.  Well  over 
500  Alumni  were  canvassed  for  sugges- 
tions. Furthermore,  each  issue  of  THE 
BUCKXELL  ALUMNUS  carried  an  out- 
line of  the  procedure  for  nominating  a 
candidate  by  petition. 

After  all  suggested  candidates  have  been 
listed  the  Alumni  Office  prepares  a  bio- 
graphical record  of  each  candidate.  These 
records  are  examined  and  discussed  by  the 
nine-member  Committee  for  the  Selection 
of  Alumni  Trustee  Candidates,  following 
which  each  committee  member  by  secret 
ballot  records  first,  second,  third,  fourth 
and  fifth  choices.  By  weighting  the  choic- 
es on  all  ballots  the  three  top  candidates 
emerge.  The  candidates  with  their  pic- 
tures and  biographical  records,  then  ap- 
pear in  the  March  issue  of  THE  BUCK- 
XELL ALUMXUS,  and  in  April  every 
Alumnus  with  a  known  address  receives 
a  postage-free  ballot  for  voting.  After 
studying  the  election  procedures  at  scores 
of  colleges,  a  committee  of  alumni  have 
come  to  the  conclusion  that  Bucknell's 
plan  is  as  democratic  as  it  can  possibly  be. 
Believe  it  or  not,  there  are  still  some  col- 
leges where  the  alumni  board  selects  one 
candidate  and  submits  his  name  to  the 
Trustees  for  approval  and  election! 

Aluinni  now  serving  on  the  Board  of 
Trustees  through  election  of  that  body, 
but  who  were  originally  nominated  for 
membership  by  The  General  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation, include:  Dr.  Harvey  F.  Smith  '94, 
Robert  L.  Rooke  '13,  Dr.  Mary  B.  Harris 
'94.  Berkeley  V.  Hastings  '13,  Dr.  Mary 
M.  Wolfe  •9'6.  William  R.  White  '26.  and 
Andrew  R.  Malhieson  "20. 

Alumni  now  serving  on  the  Board  of 
Trustees,  on  nomination  by  The  General 
Alumni  Association,  are:  Dr.  Arthur  L. 
Brandon  MA  '21  0956);  Dr.  Emma  E. 
Dillon  '15  (1957);  Dr.  Roy  E.  Nicodemus 
'25  rl958);  John  C.  Decker,  Esq.  '.% 
(1959),  and  Dr.  Franklin  D.  Jones  '19 
(1960).  History  has  supplied  ample  evi- 
dence that  the  members  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees,  from  whatever  source  selected, 
serve  not  the  Trustees,  nor  the  Alumni 
Association,  but  the  University,  which  is 
as  it  should  be. 

You  arc  urged  to  exercise  your  preroga- 
tive to  vote  in  a  democratic  election  when 
you  receive  your  ballot  in  April.  Better 
study  those  biographical  records  now.  The 
ballot  mailing  will  be  a  "double-duty"  en- 
velope mailer,  providing  for  the  return 
of  the  voter's  ballot  anfl  a  contribution  to 
the  Aluinni  Annual  (jiving  I'rogram  in  one 
postage-free  envelope.  Alumni  do  not 
need  to  contribute  to  be  eligible  to  vote — 
this  combination  mailing  is  planned  to 
save  postage  and  will  result  in  consider- 
able saving  on  the  outgoing  and  return 
envelopes.

Unto  the  Third  and  Fourth  Generations  —  The  Class  of  1959 

By  the  time  a  University  accumulates  110  years  of  history  it  is  evident  that  students 
of  second,  third,  fourth  or  fifth  generations  of  Alumni  will  appear  on  the  campus  each 
September.  Such  was  again  the  case  this  year  and  a  review  of  the  applications  filed  by 
the  Class  of  1959  shows  that  34  members  of  the  freshman  class  have  at  least  one  parent 
who  is  a  Bucknell  .\lumnns  and  that  11  come  from  families  where  both  Mother  and 
Father  are  Bucknellians.  A  total  of  107  of  the  new  students  report  close  and  distant  rela- 
tives:  mothers,  16;  fathers,  29;  great-grandmothers,  2;  great-grandfathers,  2;  grand- 
mothers. 5;  grandfathers,  4;  aunts,  IS;  uncles,  32;  sisters,  18;  brothers,  22;  cousins,  50. 
Even  brothers-in-law  and  sisters-in-law  are  listed  in  some  cases.  Perhaps  some  freshman 
men  and  women  forget  or  are  unaware  of  the  college  attendance  of  their  great-great- 
grandparents.  One  of  the  questions  on  the  student  application  form  asks  specifically  for 
the  names  of  Bucknell  relatives,  but  occasionally  we  find  that  freshmen  forget  to  name 
even  their  Bucknell  parents.  Anyway,  here's  the  list  as  revealed  by  student  application 
records.

The  question  is  often  asked,  "Which  family  tree  has  had  the  most  sprouts  at  Bucknell?" 
Does  anyone  know?  At  last  listing,  the  Slifer  clan  had  counted  32 — in  five  generations — 
with  number  33  (David,  son  of  Caryl  '27  and  Ken  '26  Slifer)  expected  next  year.  Can 
any  family  top  that  record?  All  entries  become  the  property  of  the  sponsor  and  must

BUCKNELL'S  ADMISSION  PROGRAM 

by 
MERLE   M.   ODGERS,    President 

The  so-called  "tidal  wave"  of  students  which  is  threatening  our  colleges 
throughout  the  land  is,  of  course,  being  felt  on  the  Bucknell  campus. 

It  is  very  encouraging  to  learn  that  the  interest  of  many  a  prospective  student 
who  is  interviewed  for  admission  may  be  directly  traced  to  an  Alumnus  who  is 
often  unaware  that  his  or  her  own  living  example  of  a  Bucknell  education  is  a 
potent  factor  in  the  candidate's  choice  of  a  college. 

The  recommendations  of  Bucknell's  "loyal  rooters"  are  appreciated  by  the 
Registrar's  Office  but  it  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  admission  is  on  a  selective 
basis  and  that,  despite  pleas  of  loyal  Alumni,  parents,  principals  and  friends,  the 
University  has  an  oliligation  to  itself  as  an  institution  of  higher  learning,  to  its 
own  Alumni,  and  to  society  in  general,  and  therefore  must  decline  certain  appli- 
cants who  are  unprepared  for  college  training.  Only  the  Admissions  Committee 
can  appreciate  the  sorrow,  the  depression,  and  the  uncertainty  experienced  by 
the  unprepared  applicant  and  by  those  interested  in  the  applicant.  Bucknell  is 
sincere  if  it  tells  an  unprepared  candidate  that  it  is  in  his  own  best  interest  that 
he  is  not  included  in  the  group  selected  for  admission.  Other  candidates  must 
be  declined,  even  when  their  credentials  promise  success  in  college,  because  the 
number  of  qualified  candidates  for  a  course  is  greater  than  the  number  of  avail- 
able places.  To  help  Alumni  who  have  children  or  friends  interested  in  attending 
Bucknell  and  to  guide  applicants  in  their  preparation  for  college,  we  have  asked 
Mr.  George  R.  Faint,  registrar  and  director  of  admissions,  to  provide  the  answers 
to  the  questions  most  frequently  asked  al)out  admissions.  These  questions  and 
answers  follow : 


QUESTIONS  AND  ANSWERS  ON   ADMISSIONS 


1.     Q. 


Q. 

A. 


Is   there   evidence   that    it    will    be 
more  difficult  to  gain  admission  to 
college  in  the  ne.xt  few  years? 
Yes,   to   all   colleges,    Bucknell   in- 
cluded. 

Why  is  this  true? 

Larger  numbers  are  graduating" 
from  secondary  schools,  a  higher 
percentage  of  secondary  school 
graduates  want  to  obtain  collegiate 
instruction,  and  facilities  of  the  col- 
leges are  not  expanding  as  rapidly 
as  the  demand. 

3.  Q.     What  is  the  surest  way  to  gain  ad- 

mission ? 
A.  Since  admission  is  competitive, 
every  college — including  Bucknell 
—  seeks  students  whose  records 
give  promise  of  academic  success. 
Therefore,  the  better  an  applicant's 
credentials :  secondary  school  rec- 
ord, principal's  recommendation, 
and  scores  on  the  tests  of  the  Col- 
lege Entrance  Examination  Board, 
the  better  are  his  chances  of  accep- 
tance. 

4.  Q.     Is  any  preference  shown  to  children 

of  Alumni? 
A.     'Ves,  but  only  when   academic  and 
other  qualifications  are  equally  sat- 
isfactory. 


5.  Q.     What  is  meant  by  a  good  academic 

record  ? 
A.  A  student  should  rank  in  the  upper 
two-fifths  for  best  consideration ; 
-those  in  the  third-fifth  are  less 
likely  to  qualify  for  acceptance : 
and  the  acceptance  of  those  in  the 
lower  two-fifths  is  doubtful. 

6.  Q.     Is  it  more  difficult  for  women  to  be 

accepted  than  men? 

A.  Yes,  at  present,  the  women  are 
more  highly  selected  than  men  (as 
high  as  92%  are  in  the  upper  two- 
fifths)  ,  but  within  the  next  two  or 
three  years,  the  selection  of  men 
will  be  higher. 

7.  Q.     How  high  must  the  scores  on  the 

tests  of  the  College  Entrance  Ex- 
amination Board  be? 
A.  There  is  no  precise  cut-off  score, 
but  the  median  at  present  for  wo-

over  a  hundred  colleges. 

11.  Q.     Are   any   special   subjects    required 

in  secondary  school ? 
A.  No,  but  the  best  preparation  is  a

16.  Q.     Is  scholarship  aid  available? 

A.  Yes,  but  endowed  scholarship  funds

that  only  those  with  a  specific 
financial  need  and  who  also  have 
excellent  secondary  school  records 
and  College  Board  scores  can  be 
considered.  Often  national  or  local 
scholarships  are  more  likely  to  be 
available.  Work  aid  and  loan 
funds  are  possible  in  the  last 
three  years  in  college.  The  finan-

about  Bucknell.  Introductory  leaf- 
lets with  reply  cards  are  available 
for  you  to  give  to  young  people, 
(used  widely  in  visits  to  schools) 
Please  understand  you  can  help 
most  by  supplying  information,  but 
that  admission  cannot  be  assured 
because  of  your  interest.  Well 
qualified  candidates  who  require  no 
financial  help  are  needed  most,  oc- 
casionally confidential  information 
supplied  to  us  may  necessitate  the

SPORTS 


by  VAL   PINCHBECK,  JR.,  Athletic  Publicity 


Best  Season  Since  1951—1952 


(Left  to  Right  Co-captains  Ben  Slovitt  and  Norm  Voorhees,  Jim  Beidleman,  John  Beatty,  Bob  Taylor, 
Al  Kenzie,  Skip  Wieder,  Mike  Corrigan,  Marty  Tannenbaum,  Joe  Baccelli,  Bob  Salankiewicz,  John  Strizzi 
and  manager  John  Lees. 


When  the  Dodgers  finally  downed  the 
Yankees  in  last  fall's  World  Series,  a  New 
Vork-  City  daily  screamed  the  headline — 
"This  Is  Xext  Year!"  Well,  this  isn't  next 
year  as  tar  as  the  Bucknell  basketeers  are 
concerned,  but  it  could  be  that  next  j'ear  is 
just  around  the  corner. 

At  late-January  final  examination  time, 
with  almost  one-half  of  the  1955-56  court 
season  completed,  Coach  Ben  Kribbs'  Bi- 
sons could  list  a  number  of  accomplish- 
ments— achievements  that  made  sooth- 
sayers of  those  who  predicted  considerable 
improvement  in  the  caliber  of  Bucknell 
basketball  this  winter.  With  11  of  the 
campaign's  24  games  in  the  record  book, 
the  Bisons  could  claim  a  6-5  log  and  the 
following  developments: 

1.  An  upset  81-74  victory  over  Penn 
-State  in  Davis  Gymnasium  that  snapped 
a  string  of  seven  straight  wins  the  Lions 
had  run  up  against  Bucknell. 

2.  A  thrilling  uphill  79-68  triumph  over 
Gettysburg  that  saw  the  Bisons  come  back 
from  a  17-point  half  time  deficit  with  a  51- 
point  second  half  rally  that  included  17 
consecutive  markers. 

3.  More  wins  than  any  Bucknell  basket- 
ball team  had  recorded  in  the  past  four 
years.  Last  winter's  team  won  three 
games,  the  previous  two  entries  four  and 
three,  respectively. 

4.  An  opportunity  of  reaching  their  prc- 
■<.a.son  goal  of  an  even  split  on  the  cam- 
paign. 

Actually,  the  Bisons  were  outclassed  in 
just  three  of  their  first  11  outings  and  each 
setback  emphasized  the  one  major  weak- 
ness that  Kribbs  must  still  contend  with 
— a  lark  nf  height.  Ilofstra,  Lafayette  and 
Muhlenberg,  three  of  the  Last's  belter 
teams  an'!  three  teams  long  on  big  men 
with  ability,  proved  to  be  too  difficult  for 
Bucknell  to  cope  with.  The  Bisons  suf- 
fered narrow  reversals  at  the  hands  of 
('olgate  and  Cortland  in  games  that  could 
have  gone  either  way. 

Buckncll's  big  men  in  scoring  during 
llie  first  half  of  the  campaign  were  the 
little  men — junior  .Marty  Tannenbaum  and 
'>ph  John  Strizzi.  A  6-0  Haikensark, 
'..  J,  product,  'I'anncnbaum  was  the  lead- 
ing Bison  scorer  at  deadline  time  with  a 
16-point  average.  He  liad  reached  the  20- 
poinl  mark  in  srnring  on  ffiur  occasions. 
Strizzi,  a  .i-9  performer  from  I'arrell,  I'a,, 

•I  Midi   l'«,-.fl 


was  the  Bucknell  playmaker  and  had  an 
average  just  under  10  points  per  game. 

Five  other  players — four  juniors  and  a 
sophomore — filled  out  Kribbs'  first-line 
nucleus.  They  were  6-4  juniors  John  Beat- 
ty and  Al  Kenzie,  6-3  soph  Skip  Wieder, 
6-1  junior  co-captain  Norm  Voorhees  and 
6-0  junior  Joe  Baccelli.  Voorhees  and 
Wieder  both  came  along  rapidly  after 
slow  starts. 

Unfortunately,  the  road  to  a  12-12  split 
on  season's  play  appeared  to  be  treacher- 
ous since  the  second  half  of  the  basket- 
ball schedule  was  definitely  more  difficult 
than  the  first.  The  Bisons  had  yet  to  play 
Temple  and  take  part  in  re-matches  with 
Lafayette,  Muhlenberg,  Hofstra,  Penn 
State   and   Colgate.

Spring  Sports  Preview 

To  the  recent  college  graduate,  'Marcli' 
ran  mean  but  one  thing.  Pack  your  bag 
and  hi'ad  for  Fort  Dix  or  some  olber  un- 
romantic  spot  for  a  stinl  in  the  garb  of 
Uncle  .Samuel,  Tin-  nndcrgraduale  de- 
rives a  dilfcrcjil  mi'aning  from  Ihe  word, 
however.  To  him,  '.March'  means  dig  out 
the   glove,    golf   clubs,    tennis    rackcLs   or 


spikes  and  prepare  for  the  spring  season 
that  is   lurking-  just  around  the  corner. 

At  Bucknell's  300  acres  all  hands  are  in 
hope  that  the  1956  spring  campaign  will  be  as 
prosperous  as  its  1955  counterpart.  A  year 
ago  the  Bison  baseball,  track,  tennis  and 
golf  teams  posted  a  total  of  32  victories 
against  25  setbacks,  the  best  spring  log 
recorded  at  Bucknell  since  World  War  II, 
The  Bison  athletes  would  like  to  equal 
that  record  this  season. 

BASEBALL 

Coach  Bill  Lane's  diamond  performers 
split  20  decisions  last  spring  and  chalked 
up  a  10-4  Aliddle  Atlantic  Conference  rec- 
ord that  was  good  for  second  place  in  the 
league  standings.  If  the  strong  left  arm 
of  pitcher  Don  Richards  has  maintained 
its  zip,  the  baseballers  may  be  able  to  im- 
prove on  that  ledger  this  year. 

Lane  is  afraid  that  batting  punch,  some- 
thing" his  '55  outfit  lacked,  may  be  at  a  pre- 
mium again,  but  looks  for  improved  stick 
work  from  catcher  and  captain  Rich  Mc- 
Farland,  first  baseman-outfielder  Bob 
Whitehead,  infielder  Roy  Rangnow  and 
fly-chasers  Chuck  Sneath  and  Don  Wain. 
Soph  newcomers  Larry  Dempster  and 
Jackie  Brothers  may  add  some  offensive 
punch  to  the  infield  if  they  can  beat  out 
veterans  Gene  Zartman,  Jim  Hummel  and 
Bruce  Workman  for  regular  jobs. 

If  the  diamond  campaign  is  to  be  a  suc- 
cess, however,  fire-baller  Richards  will 
have  to  match  his  brilliant  junior  season. 
The  170-pound  Pittsburgh  athlete  copped 
seven  of  10  decisions  a  year  ago,  struck 
out  140  batters  and  posted  a  gaudy  1.30 
earned  run  average.  His  strikeout  and 
ERA  marks  are  new  Bucknell  standards. 

TRACK 

Bucknell's  track  team,  which  registered 
the  best  cinder  season  in  the  60-year  his- 
tory of  the  sport  at  Bucknell  last  year, 
will  put  a  seven-match  dual  and  triangular 
meet  winning  string  on  the  line  when  it 
opens  a  five-match  card  in  late  April, 

Coach  Bus  Blum,  who  Ijegins  his  11th 
year  as  track  coach,  has  a  number  of  vet- 
eran competitors  returning,  including 
sprinter  and  captain  Ed  Burg,  distance 
runners  Art  Saunders  and  Bill  Campbell, 
hurdler  Bill  Lenker.  middle  distance  run- 
ner Al  Larrabee  and  field  event  specialists 
Bob  Stevens,  Norm  Voorhees,  Dick  Mc- 
Cartney and  Bill  Benton. 

The  Bison  mentor  has  high  hopes  for 
newcomer  Jim  Riker  in  the  hurdles  and 
Pete  Schuerholz  in  the  880-yard  run,  drid- 
der  Chuck  Wagner,  who  sprinted  the  100- 
yard  dash  in  9.8  seconds  at  Kiski  Prep, 
may  be  a  valuable  addition  to  the  sc|uad. 

TENNIS 

Henry  Peters,  tlie  gentleman  who  con- 
linu;illy  predicts  disaster  and  engineers 
successful  seasons,  is  again  wearing  a  long 
face  so  the  Bison  tennis  team  can  prob- 
ably be  counted  upon  for  anotlicr  cam- 
paign in  the  blue  chips, 

A  year  ago  the  netnien  posted  Iheir 
fourth  consecutive  winning  season  by  cop- 
ping 10  of  18  matches.  Gone  from  the  '.55 
cast  are  cajjlain  Dick  VVormser  and  Dick 
Richter,  two  of  Peters'  lietter  performers, 
and  Bob  Mclnroy  and  Bob  llarbaugb. 
John  Pulizzi,  captain  Al  ChristeTison,  Art 
llarlwell,  Jolm  l-'incke  and  Jimmy  Stew- 
art are  the  principal  returnees. 

Pulizzi,  a  Williamsport  youngster,  set 
two  new  Bucknell  tennis  records  as  a 
sophomore  last  year  by  winning  12  match- 
es in  a  row  and  a  total  of  16  out  of  18  on 
the  season.  Chuck  Siede  and  P.ob  Poin- 
dextcr  are  th<'  top  soph  prospccN  i<v  the 
squad, 

7 


GOLF 

If  newcomers  Phil  Kreis  and  Ken  Ben- 
son are  available,  the  Bison  golf  team  may 
be  able  to  improve  on  its  1955  record  of 
seven  wins  and  seven  losses.  Captain  Pete 
Straub  is  the  only  loss  from  last  year's 
team  and  Kreis  and  Benson  should  be  able 
to  fill  the  breach. 

The  top  returnees  are  captain  Don  Al- 
bee,  Bob  Miller,  Jim  Ladd,  Dave  Doane 
and  Andv  Horvat.  George  Dannon,  a  1954 
letterman.  Bill  Walliser  and  Stan  Jackson 
will  also  be  competing  for  berths.

1956  Football  Schedule 

Bucknell  will  play  an  eight-game  1956 
football  schedule  that  includes  participa- 
tion in  the  annual  Chocolate  Bowl  in  Her- 
shey,  according  to  a  mid-January  an- 
nouncement by  Athletic  Director  Albert 
E.    Humphreys. 

Harry  Lawrence,  who  begins  his  10th 
year  as  Bison  head  coach,  will  again  be 
at  the  helm.  Lawrence  inked  a  new  three- 
year  pact  in  early  December  that  will 
make  him  the  dean  of  Bucknell  football 
coaches  relative  to  longevity.  No  other 
Bison  grid  leader  has  coached  for  longer 
than  nine  seasons. 

The  1956  card  lists  one  new  opponent — 
the  University  of  Buffalo,  a  home  foe  on 
Nov.  3.  The  Bisons  and  the  Bulls  last 
tangled  in  1953.  Bucknell  will  not  meet 
Miami  and  Harvard,  two  1955  opponents. 
Three  home  games  are  scheduled — Lehigh 
on  Oct.  6,  Lafayette  on  Oct.  20  and  Buf- 
falo. Bucknell  will  also  be  the  home  team 
at  the  Sept.  29  Chocolate  Bowl  with  Get- 
tysburg again   supplying   the   opposition. 

The  eight-game  schedule  is  the  first  of 
its  kind  at  Bucknell  since  1949.  Humph- 
reys stated  that  the  University  plans  to  re- 
turn to  its  traditional  nine-game  card  in 
1957.

Intramurals 


On  the  intramural  scene,  Delta  Upsilon 
has  emerged  as  a  1955-56  powerhouse  and 
must  be  considered  a  favorite  to  recapture 
the  Ail-Year  Trophy  it  surrendered  to  Phi 
Kappa  Psi  a  year  ago.  The  DUs  were 
champions  in  1952-53  and  1953-54. 

In  the  five  athletic  divisions  in  which 
activity  has  been  completed,  Delta  Upsilon 
has  copped  three  championships.  The 
DUs  have  won  cross-country,  soccer  and 
wrestling.  Sigma  Alpha  .Epsilon  was 
crowned  handball  champ,  while  Sigma 
Alpha  Mu  was  victorious  in  tennis.

(Coittiniied  from  Page  o) 
When  I  was  captain  at  Chicago  in  1893 
and  played  Purdue,  called  "the  boiler-mak- 
ers", the  game  was  so  rough  that  they 
knocked  out  our  backfield  players  and  the 
prosecuting  attorney  came  on  the  field  and 
warned  their  players  to  stop  their  brutal 
tactics,  otherwise  the  Tippecanoe  grand  jury 
was  still  in  session  and  they  would  be  indict- 
ed. We  had  no  substitutes  and  Stagg  asked 
the  privilege  of  putting  on  a  suit  to  play 
halfback.  It  was  freely  granted  and  Stagg 
played  under  my  captaincy.  At  the  Quarter- 
back Club  in  Chicago  I  spoke  to  1200  fans 
on  "The  Perils  of  Old-Time  Football." 

In  1894  Stagg  took  the  first  football  team 
across  the  continent  to  defeat  Stanford,  with 
Herbert  Hoover  as  football  manager.  Par- 
don me  if  I  include  the  following  panegyric 
of  Chicago's  first  captain  in  the  San  Fran- 
cisco press :  "Wyant,  the  center,  was  a  con- 
spicuous character,  strong  as  an  ox  and 
with  the  endurance  of  a  mule,  he  pushed  his 
way  through  the  lines,  scoring  frequently 
yards  of  advantage  for  his  team.  He  is  con- 
sidered the  cleverest  player  on  the  team, 
tricky  and  sharp,  using  his  head  at  all  times. 
He  has  bucked  more  than  successfully 
against  opposing  centers  outweighing  him  by 
40  pounds  and  few  of  them  have  been  heard 
of  who  cared  about  taking  another  turn  with 
him.  Withal,  Wyant  has  the  reputation  of 
bring  exceedingly  even-tempered  and  of 
playing  exceptionally  clean  football."  (Italics 
mine). 

Following  the  Stanford  game  on  Christ- 
mas we  played  the  Reliance  Athletic  Club 
on  New  Year's  day.  It  was  a  typical  game 
of  professional  football  savagery.  A  car- 
toon showed  Stagg  kneeling  in  prayer  for 
the  safety  of  his  men.  The  referee  was  their 
choice  and  when  he  outrageously  called  back 
a  touchdown,  Frank  Herring,  who  after- 
wards coached  at  Bucknell  and  later  at  Notre 
Dame,  looked  the  referee  in  the  eye  and 
said :  "That  was  a  cheesy  deal  you  gave 
us."  The  referee  slapped  Frank  in  the  face 
and  Frank  countered  with  his  right  and 
gave  the  referee  a  bloody  nose.  There  was 
a  threatened  riot,  but  the  decision  was  so 
"rotten"  that  the  Club  sent  in  another  ref- 
eree who  did  not  even  rule  Frank  out  of  the 
game.  Stagg  was  needed  as  much  to  re- 
form football  as  Christy  was  needed  to  re- 
form baseball.  In  the  early  part  of  the 
century  20  colleges  suspended  football  on 
account  of  its  lack  of  sportsmanship.

IT   HAPPENED   HERE 

20  Years  Ago  —  1936 

A  roaring  flood  covered  the  campus  and 
damaged  many  fraternity  houses  and 
dorms.  Activities  reached  a  standstill  as 
students  rowed  in  and  out  of  the  houses 
and  the  girls  entered  dorms  by  step- 
ladders.  An  amateur  radio  station  in  East 
College  was  the  only  means  of  communi- 
cation.

THE  FACULTY 


The  Buckneli  Review 

In  its  most  recent  issue  (December,  1955), 
The  Buckneli  Rcziczc  steps  out  into  the 
world.  Bucknell's  entry  into  tlie  field  of 
scholarly  publications  has.  tor  the  first  time 
in  its  six-year  history,  opened  its  pages  to 
contributors  outside  the  Buckneli  faculty. 
The  editors  have  been  fortunate  to  be  able  to 
grace  this  issue  with  articles  by  two  eminent 
"foreign"  scholars  and  by  one  regular  con- 
tributor. Dr.  P.  Burwell  Rogers,  of  the  Buck- 
neli English  department. 

The  first  piece  in  the  December  Rez-ietc  is 
"Benjamin  Franklin  and  his  Scientific 
Friends."  the  text  of  an  address  delivered  at 
the  dedication  of  the  F.  \V.  Olin  Science 
Building  by  Dr.  Leonard  ^^'.  Labaree.  Far- 
nam  Professor  of  History  at  Yale.  Dr.  Har- 
old H.  Watts.  Professor  of  English  at  Pur- 
due, contributes  "Three  Entities  and  Robert 
Frost" :  and  Dr.  Rogers  reports  on  his  col- 
lation of  five  manuscripts  of  a  Fifteenth  Cen- 
tury "courtesjr  book,"  John  Russell's  The 
Baike  of  Nurture. 

To  mark  its  growth  into  adulthood,  the 
Rez'ieZi.'  appears  in  a  new  dress,  a  clean-look- 
ing brown  and  white  cover  that  invites  the 
potential  reader  to  look  inside. 

In  the  article  on  Franklin,  Dr.  Labaree 
sets  out  to  show  that  Franklin's  contributions 
to  science,  though  perhaps  not  of  major  im- 
portance when  measured  in  terms  of  his  ad- 
ditions to  existing  scientific  knowledge,  are 
highly  significant  when  looked  at  in  respect 
to  their  influence  on  the  progress  of  his 
times.  With  an  easy,  unpedantic  style  that 
bodes  good  for  the  Franklin  papers  recent- 
ly published  under  his  editorship.  Dr.  Laba- 
ree first  provides  some  background  on  the 
state  of  scientific  investigation  and  publica- 
tions in  Franklin's  day,  then  goes  on  to  out- 
line Franklin's  enormous  part  in  them :  for 
example,  his  personal  friendships  and  cor- 
respondence with  almost  all  the  noted  scien- 
tists of  Europe  and  America,  and  his  found- 
ing of  the  American  Philosophical  Society. 
Dr.  Labaree  writes  about  Franklin  with  an 
aura  of  authoritativeness  and  with  a  desire 
to  be  interesting  and  readable,  a  desire  amply 
realized  here. 

The  three  entities  in  Dr.  Watts'  essay  on 
Frost  are  nature,  man,  and  God :  the  author 
explores  the  relationships  that  exist  among 
them  as  they  are  revealed  in  Frost's  poetry. 
There  are  various  ways  of  approaching  the 
body  of  a  jjoet's  work,  but  Dr.  Watts'  ap- 
proach would  seem  to  be  in  keeping  with 
Frost's  own  statements.  Frost  has  said  that 
his  poems  arc  dramatic — very  much  like  talk, 
he  has  put  it.  Dr.  Watts,  therefore,  pro- 
ceeds justifiably  on  the  premise  that  the 
I)Oems  are  dramatic  conversations  between 
Frost  (or  man)  and  nature,  which  speaks 
to  the  poet  through  specific  parts  of  its 
"process."  The  reader,  then,  becomes  a 
sort  of  third,  though  silent,  participant  in 
the  drama,  discovering  with  Frost  the  de- 
gree to  which  man  depends  upon  nature  as 
a  source  of  instruction  alKjut  what  man  is 
and  what  he  is  not. 

.'Mthough  some  of  Dr.  Watts'  interpreta- 
tions arc  oi)en  to  <|uestioM,  there  is  evident 
thrfrtighout  the  article  his  ability  to  perceive 
order  in  a  mass  of  [)ocms.  It  is  a  common- 
place, for  example,  to  state  that  Frost  is  not 
a  rcliKious  jioet ;  Dr,  Watts'  explanation  of 
why  (jtxl  has  twen  excluded  from  I''ro,st's 
"conversations"  is  convincinK  evidence  of  his 
extremely  jicrccptivc  process  of  reading.

the  customs  of  service  in  upper  class  En- 
glish homes  of  the  time.  \Vhat  Dr.  Rog- 
ers accomplishes  in  his  comparison  of  the 
five  existing  manuscripts  is  to  chart  the  dif- 
ferences among  them  and  to  establish  the 
theory  that  four  of  the  copies  originated  in 
a  conmion  source ;  the  fifth  copy,  found  in 
the  Harleian  manuscript,  seems  to  have  been 
drawn  from  another  original,  one  describing 
a  household  much  like  the  one  in  which  Rus- 
sell gained  his  information. 

The  three  articles  make  up  a  varied  but  in- 
variablv  interesting  issue  of  The  Buckncil 
Review.

Buckneli  Receives  $3,500 
Grant  From  Esso 

President  Merle  M.  Odgers  has  announced 
that  Buckneli  has  received  a  grant  of  $3,500 
from  the  Esso  Education  Foundation. 

The  Standard  Oil  Company  and  several 
of  its  affiliates  recently  formed  the  Founda- 
tion to  give  financial  aid  to  the  nation's  pri- 
vately-owned colleges  and  universities  in 
order  that  they  might  meet  the  ever  higher 
standards  of  modern  society. 

Bucknell's  gift  of  $3,500  was  offered  with- 
out restrictions  except  that  it  be  used  to 
help  defray  the  operating  expenses  connected 
with  undergraduate  education. 

Buckneli  was  one  of  193  privately-support- 
ed colleges  to  receive  a  grant  from  the  Foun- 
dation. Included  were  denominational,  non- 
denominational,  men's,  women's  and  coedu- 
cational colleges  and  universities. 

Fourteen  Pennsylvania  schools  other  than 
Buckneli  received  unrestricted  grants.

AMONG  THE  CLUBS. 


How  Do  You  Say  It? 

The  best  Alumni  Club  invitations  are  the 
ones  written  by  the  Alumni  Club  officers 
themselves.  It  is  always  interesting  to  sit 
on  the  Alumni  Secretary's  side  of  the  desk 
and  see  each  new  crop  of  Bucknell  Birthday 
party  invitations  come  in. 

One  of  the  best  this  year  was  prepared 
in  the  form  of  a  poem  for  the  Bucknell 
Birthday  party  held  by  the  Bucknell  Alumni 
Club  of  Providence,  R.  I.  We  suspect  it  is 
the  work  of  Mrs.  June  Stott  Matthews_  '47, 
secretary  of  the  Providence  Club.  This  is 
the  way  she  said  it : 

This  invitation  is  coming  your  way 

In  liopes  you'll  be  able  to  save  a  Sunday, 

And  help  all  Bucknellians  to  celebrate 

The  birthday  of  B.  U. — mark  down  the  date! 

The  one  we  have  chosen  is  February  five. 
The  place  where  we'll  meet  is  just  a  nice  drive. 
A  breathtaking  view  of  Narragansett  Bay 
Is  guaranteed  to  all  who  join  us  that  day. 

Sue  Cady's  house  is  the  place  where  we'll  meet. 
There  will  be  coffee,  ice  cream  and  good  cake  to  eat. 
The  time  has  been  chosen — from  three  until  five. 
To  twenty-six  Briarcliff  Avenue  you'll  drive. 

Now  to  those  of  you  who  are  still  up  a  tree 
As  to  where  in  the  world  this  place  can  be. 
Just  follow  directions  to  old  Wanvick  Neck, 
Sue's  at  the  end — near  the  lighthouse,  by  heck! 

Please  don't  disappoint  us — we  love  a  crowd 
Who  can  join  in  the  song  overwhelmingly  loud, 
"Happy  birthday  to  Bucknell,"  our  Alma  Mater 

dear. 
Any  further  questions?    Your  telephone  is  near. 

Providence  may  not  have  the  largest  at- 
tendance (there  are  62  Alumni  in  the  Provi- 
dence area)  but  it  always  has  an  enthus- 
iastic group  at  its  meeting. 

Another  unusual  approach  used  by  the 
Providence  Club  is  to  hold  some  of  its  meet- 
ings on  the  Brown  University  campus.  This 
practice  of  meeting  on  college  campuses 
might  well  be  adopted  by  other  Bucknell 
Alumni  Clubs.  Such  arrangements  generally 
provide  a  comfortable  place  to  gather  before 
dinner,  a  private  dining  room,  a  satisfactory 
dinner  at  a  reasonable  price,  and  plenty  of 
elbow  room  for  the  gab-fest  that  follows.  If 
your  club  would  like  to  investigate  the  pos- 
sibilities, why  not  contact  the  director  of 
food  services  on  the  campus  of  your  local 
college  or  university. 


LONG  ISLAND  — Bucknellians  from 
Long  Island  got  together  for  a  Christmas 
cheer  party  at  Felice's  Restaurant  on  De- 
cember 26.  We  had  about  75  attending  and, 
since  this  was  our  first  attempt  at  this  kind 
of  affair,  we  were  well  pleased  with  the  turn- 
out. Bucknellians  young  and  old  joined  us. 
We  gave  the  party  at  this  time  to  help  stim- 
ulate interest  among  our  local  Alumni  and 
friends  for  the  Hofstra  Invitation  Basket- 
ball Tournament  which  was  to  follow  that 
week. 

On  February  9  we  joined  the  three  other 
metropolitan  clubs  for  dinner  and  the  Men's 
Glee  Club  Concert  at  the  Park-Sheraton 
Hotel  in  New  York.  It  was  a  big  success 
and  thoroughly  enjoyed  by  all  who  attended.

over  to  Mr.  Frank  Haas,  program  chairman, 
who  introduced  our  speaker,  Mr.  Sterling 
G.  McNees,  chairman  of  the  Central  Busi- 
ness Council.  Mr.  McNees  presented  an  en- 
lightening discussion  concerning  the  prob- 
lems of  Harrisburg's  downtown  traffic  and 
its  effect  on  the  entire  city. 

The  regular  monthly  dinner  meeting  of 
the  Bucknell  Alumni  Association  of  Har- 
risburg  was  held  on  Thursday,  Feb.  2,  at 
the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Thirty  Bucknellians  and 
friends  were  present  at  the  meeting  which 
marked  the  110th  anniversary  of  the 
founding  of  Bucknell.  William  Schaffner 
'51,  gave  the  invocation. 

Bruce  Butt  '16,  presented  his  report  con- 
cerning the  current  activities  of  Alumni, 
and  introduced  the  guests  who  were 
present. 

Dr.  Eugene  Bertin  '17,  paid  special  tri- 
bute, on  behalf  of  the  entire  club,  to  Bruce 
Butt  and  William  Schaffner,  two  of  our 
members  who  share  February  as  their 
birthday  month  with  Bucknell. 

Our  guest  and  speaker  for  the  evening 
was  Henry  N.  Peters  '39.  associate  pro- 
fessor of  physical  education  at  Bucknell. 
Mr.  Peters  who  was  introduced  by  Fran- 
cis B.  Haas,  Jr.  '39,  presented  an  informal 
discussion  concerning  the  various  phases 
of  the  present  athletic  program  at  Buck- 
nell, as  well  as  the  general  building  pro- 
gram now  being  undertaken  by  the  Uni- 
versity. Questions  were  raised  by  mem- 
bers of  the  group  and  presented  to  Mr. 
Peters  for  further  discussion.

CENTRAL  INDIANA— Sickness,  vaca- 
tions, business,  and  one  of  the  deepest 
snows  in  Indiana  for  many  a  year  did  not 
disturb  nine  loyal  Bucknellians  from  gath- 
ering at  McLaughner's  Restaurant  in 
Indianapolis  on  January  20  to  celebrate 
Bucknell's    110th   Birthday. 

Under  the  chairmanship  of  Art  Zim- 
merman '24,  and  with  the  active  assistance 
of  Mrs.  W.  Norman  Ball  (Dorothy  W. 
Sauer  '35),  a  review  of  Bucknell  history 
and  the  showing  of  football  movies  and 
color  slides  of  campus  activities  was  en- 
joyed by  those  who  attended. 

There  must  be  some  time  during  the 
year  when  the  35  or  40  Bucknellians  in 
Central  Indiana  would  find  it  convenient 
to  attend  a  Bucknell  gathering  in  Indiana- 
polis. After  all,  Indiana  Bucknellians  are 
not  so  different  from  Bucknellians  in  oth- 
er states.  Maybe  spring  or  early  summer 
is  the  ideal  time.  Anyway,  we'll  try  again. 


ST.  PETERSBURG— A  large  number  of 
Bucknellians  from  the  St.  Petersburg  area 
gathered  at  the  home  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
George  Ballets  on  November  15.  Guests 
of  honor  included  Mr.  and  Mrs.  John  H. 
Shott  from  the  campus  who  were  formally 
inducted  as  members  of  THE  LOYAL 
ORDER  OF  GREEN  BENCH  SIT- 
TERS,   Other  visitors  were  Mr.  and  Mrs. 


Robert  S.  Birch.  Mr.  Birch,  who  was 
principal  of  the  high  school  for  boys  in 
Reading,  in  the  halcyon  days  when  "Buck" 
Shott  was  a  student  there,  is  a  loyal 
Princetonian  but  was  cordially  invited  to 
celebrate  with  the  Bucknellians  of  St. 
Petersburg. 

The  annual  St.  Petersburg  Bucknell 
Club  dinner  was  held  on  Feb.  4  at  Stetson 
University  Law  School  which  was  recent- 
ly established  in  St.  Petersburg. 

Our  president,  Dr;  Earl  Edwards  gave 
the  invocation.  We  were  glad  to  welcome 
Dr.  John  R.  Neefe  '36,  and  Mrs.  Neefe  as 
members.  They  have  moved  here  with 
their  four  children  and  live  at  6695  Eighth 
Ave.  N.  He  is  practicing  medicine  in  town 
and  works  with  Dr.  Needles. 

After  a  delicious  dinner  we  were  taken 
on  an  inspection  tour  of  the  grounds  and 
buildings  by  one  of  the  students.  A  new 
swimming  pool  was  of  special  interest.  Be- 
cause of  the  many  years  of  service  given 
to  Stetson  by  Dr.  Hulley,  we  had  a  special 
interest  in  the  growth  of  this  school. 

After  relaxing  in  the  lounge  we  heard 
messages  from  many  of  the  old  Bucknell 
graduates,  many  expressing  regrets  for  in- 
ability to  attend  our  dinner. 

Of  special  interest  was  a  fine  letter  from 
Clyde  Hostetter  of  Winter  Park,  telling  of 
his  progress  since  leaving  the  hospital  in 
New  York.  Mrs.  Solier,  who  took  her  de- 
gree at  Stetson  while  Dr.  Hulley  was 
there,  told  of  her  experiences  at  this  school. 

Our  next  meeting  will  be  at  the  home  of 
Miss  Marjorie  Montgomery,  4565  Dart- 
mouth Ave.  N  on  March  17th.  It  will  be 
a   covered   dish  luncheon  at   noon.

MICHIGAN-TOLEDO— For  several 
hours  on  Friday  evening,  January  20,  the 
Bucknell  cainpus  was  in  sharp  focus  from 
Ann  Arbor,   Michigan. 

This  surprise  feat  was  performed  by 
Dayton  L.  Ranck  in  the  midst  of  twenty- 
four  inspired  Alumni  at  the  Arthur  Bran- 
don residence.  Television  had  no  equal 
to  the  verbal  report  of  our  guest  who 
came  with  his  bag  of  student-faculty  news 
and  Bucknell  developments.  Nostalgia 
prevailed  as  Dayton  Ranck  recalled  with 
keen  memory,  campus  events  and  the 
whereabouts  of  old  friends. 

Newcomers  present  included  Walter  and 
Irene  Guyer  '39,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  John  Clark 
'48,  and  Robert  and  Virginia  Richardson 
'52.  We  were  most  pleased  to  see  again 
Dr.  and  Mrs.  Charles  C.  Fries  '09,  former 
faculty   member. 

May  we  express  many  thanks  to  the 
Brandons  for  their  hospitality.  Plans  will 
be  announced  soon  for  the  spring  meet- 
ing. A  fine  dinner  program  is  forthcom- 
ing for   Alumni   in   Michigan-Toledo.

PHILADELPHIA— Chalk  up  another 
successful  party  for  the  Philadelphia 
Alumni  Club  Dinner  at  Kugler's,  Friday, 
February  3.  We  enjoyed  amusing  stories 
by  the  Toastmaster,  Romain  C.  Hassrick 
'06,  entertaining  songs  by  The  Squires, 
an  interesting  and  informative  talk  by 
Admiral    Ernest   Filer. 

We  are  now  looking  forward  to  the 
Spring  Dance,  to  be  held  Friday,  May  25, 
at  the  Merion  Tribute  House,  Merion, 
Penna.  Put  the  date  in  your  date  book 
and  plan  to  come  and  join  the  fun.

MARCH  1956 


BALTIMORE — Though  rain  or  snow, 
sleet  or  hail  the  Bucknelhans  will  come 
through!  Again  our  Birthday  meeting- 
was  given  a  wet  reception  of  drenching 
rainfall!  Despite  the  weather,  which  it 
seems  is  determined  to  effect  our  meet- 
ings, 36  wet  but  willing  "party  guests" 
gathered  at  the  Hecht  Brothers  Roof  Top 
Restaurant.  February  6  at  8  o'clock.  Our 
beautiful  (.and  delicious)  birthday  cake 
ser\-ed  as  the  centerpiece  and  was  later  cut  by 
Joan  Christman  Bertolet  "55,  the  youngest 
Alumnus.  Beforehand  though,  we  ex- 
changed greetings  and  chatted  with  the 
old  regulars  and  with  several  "new"  old 
Alumni  whom  we  hadn't  seen  for  awhile 
(hope  our  next  meeting  brings  out  more 
of  these  people").  Al  Todrey  '52  obligingly 
took  pictures  while  we  enjoyed  cake  and 
coffee. 

Our  group  readily  agreed  with  President 
.Ann  Mussina  '32.  that  seldom  before  has 
our  club  had  a  speaker  that  topped  our 
guest  of  the  evening,  Mrs.  Harry  A.  Price 
(Mary  G.  Saunders  '26),  newly  appointed 
director  of  the  Johns  Hopkins  Hospital 
School  of  Xursing  Service.  Trends  in 
Xursing  during  the  last  100  years  served 
as  Mrs.  Price's  interesting  topic  and  her 
account  of  the  development,  needs  and 
comparison  of  nursing  through  the  years 
was  most  enlightening.  She  stressed  the 
importance  of  encouraging  j'oung  people 
to  enter  the  study  of  nursing. 

George  Phillips  '32.  led  us  in  singing  the 
Alma  Mater  on  Bucknell's  110th  Anniver- 
sary. May  the  words  ring  loudh'  and  clear- 
ly 110  years  from  now!

TRENTON— The  annual  birthday  din- 
ner of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of  Tren- 
ton was  held  February  3  at  the  Trenton 
Country  Club,  with  52  Alumni  and  guests 
in  attendance. 

President  Bill  Pebbles  opened  the  meet- 
ing with  a  greeting  and  then  introduced 
Dr.  Emma  iSillon  '15,  Trustee  of  the  LTni- 
versity.  who  gave  the  educational  back- 
ground of  our  guest  of  the  evening.  Dr.  C. 
Willard  Smith,  head  of  the  English  De- 
partment.

University  and  telling  a  few  humorous 
events  that  had  happened  to  several  of  the 
present  guests  while  under  his  supervis- 
ion  in   school. 

Dr.  Smith  then  reported  on  the  new 
buildings  on  the  campus.  He  remarked  on 
the  need  for  a  higher  pay  scale  for  teach- 
ers to  prevent  industry  from  obtaining  all 
the  top  men  and  women  in  different  fields, 
and  taking  them  away  from  the  teaching- 
profession. 

Dr.  Smith  read  several  poems  to  illus- 
trate his  points  and  also  read  a  few  selec- 
tions from  a  book  of  poems  composed  by

BOOK  SHELF 


ROBERT  M.  LINDER  '35. 

Mtcst  Von  Conform  f 

Rinehart,  N.  Y.,  1956 

The  science  of  personality  becomes  more 
minutely  differentiated  and  more  intricately 
organized  year  by  year.  In  this  vast  wonder- 
land— the  study  of  personality — psycho-analy- 
sis has  a  prominent  place.  MUST  YOU 
CONFORM?,  like  Lindner's  previous  books 
on  personality,  has  a  strong  Freudian  bias. 
This  is  a  book  which  the  reader  will  find 
rich  in  ideas  and  rewarding  to  read.  It  is  a 
challenging,  disturbing,  at  times,  even  sad- 
dening, presentation,  for  Dr.  Lindner  pre- 
sents his  ideas  about  the  interaction  of  the 
individual  and  his  society  with  a  vigor  and 
a  sincerity  which  seem  calculated  to  jolt  the 
public  out  of  smugness. 

The  book  dedicated  to  P.  L.  Harriman  of 
the  Bucknell  faculty,  consists  of  a  series  of 
six  essays,  four  of  which  were  presented  as 
The  Hacker  Foundation  Lectures  (Los  An- 
geles) for  1954.  The  titles  alone  of  the 
essays  are  indicative  of  the  interesting-  read- 
ing awaiting  those  who  are  concerned  about 
aspects  of  contemporary  civilization.  In  the 
first  essay,  "The  Mutiny  of  the  Young,"  the 
author  develops  and  provides  some  sup- 
port for  his  thesis  that,  ".  .  .  the  brute  fact  of 
today  is  that  our  youth  is  no  longer  in  re- 
bellion, but  in  a  condition  of  doivnright  ac- 
tive and  hostile  mutiny."  The  essay  entitled, 
"Political  Creed  and  Character'"  is  a  very 
unusual  bit  of  thinking  on  the  personality 
types  characterizing  the  fascist  (psycliopath- 
ic)  and  the  communist  (neurotic).  The  otlier 
essays,  "Homosexuality  and  the  Contempo- 
rary Scene,"  "Tlie  Instinct  of  Rebellion." 
"Must  You  Conform,"  and  "Education  for 
Maturity,"  contain   many  surprises. 

If  the  reader  is  not  familiar  with  Dr. 
Lindner's  writing,  a  pleas  a  n  t  discovery 
awaits  him  for  Dr.  Lindner  is  that  rare 
per.son — a  clinician-theoretician  w  h  o  can 
write  for  the  layman.  In  tliis  collection  of 
essays,  will  be  found  an  admirable  vocabu- 
lary, arrestive  contents  and  a  coherence  of 
emphasis.

Dear  Sir: 

In  each  of  my  two  years  at  Bucknell  I 
had  a  $50  scholarship.  A  modern  mind 
cannot  comprehend  what  an  enormous 
sum  $50  then  was,  especially  to  those  of  us 
who  rarely  saw  $5  in  one  piece.  A  man  in 
our  class  said  one  day,  "I  subscribe  $3  a 
year  to  my  church  but  since  I  never  have 
that  much  money  at  one  time.  I  give  them 
25(l!  a  month."  The  original  $100  was  re- 
paid some  3'ears  ago  in  an  endowment 
drive,  and  in  these  annual  Alumni  con- 
tributions I  have  been  trying  to  pay  at  the 
interest.  This  year's  will  a  little  more  than 
cover  the  last  of  the  interest  at  6%  simple 
interest.  In  the  A.  D.  (ante  depression) 
era  the  rate  paid  by  all  savings  institutions 
in  this  part  of  the  world  was  3%  per  an- 
num, compounded  semi-annually.  Using 
this  rate  I  still  owe  about  $100.  Let's  hope 
I  live  to  pay  it. 

While  material  aid  can  be  repaid,  no 
one  would  think  this  discharges  his  debt 
to  his  alma  mater.  Who  can  measure  the 
value  of  the  training  and  the  contact  there 
with  men  great  in  every  way?  The  im- 
pact of  John  Howard  Harris  can  never  be 
forgotten.  He  had  the  most  rugged  mind 
and  strongest  personality  of  any  man  I 
ever  met.  Another  whose  impress  went 
deep  was  William  Emmet  Martin.  Al- 
though his  ideas  were  startling  to  us  un- 
tutored provincials,  he  was  the  liberator 
of  men's  minds  from  dogmatism  and  su- 
perstition. One  might  go  on  to  enumerate 
the  whole  faculty  of  my  day. 

Sincerely  j'ours. 

An  Old  Grad  of  1901 

Dear  Sir; 

I  have  just  completed  the  December 
edition  of  THE  BUCKNELL  REVIEW 
and  would  like  to  take  the  opportunity 
of  extending  my  compliments  on  what 
I  found  to  be  an  interesting  and  intellect- 
ually satisfying  bill  of  fare. 

Professor  Labaree's  selection  casts 
Franklin  in,  what  is  for  me,  a  new  light. 
No  longer  can  he  be  considered  a  mere 
dabbler  in  the  world  of  science  for,  Ben- 
jamin Franklin  and  His  Scientific  Friends 
reveals  the  man  as  a  leader  in  the  van- 
guard of  eighteenth  century  science.  My 
only  objection  to  the  otherwise  excellent 
article  lies  in  the  fact  that  in  my  opinion 
the  author  has  treated  both  Priestly  and 
Lavoisier  in  a  manner  best  described  by 
the  word   cavalier. 

The  essay  by  Professor  Watts  was  en- 
lightening too  and  I  found  the  allusion  to 
Frost's  poetry  helpful.  I  will  admit  how- 
ever to  have  found  his  style  somewhat  ob- 
fuscatory  and  felt  that  better  organiza- 
tion was  possible.  Without  attempting  to 
gild  the  pedagoical  lily,  I  thought  that 
Dr.  Cook's  (Harold  that  is)  treatment  of 
poetic  style  which  I  remember  from  last 
year;s  BUCKNELL  STUDIES  was  more 
succinct  and  better  organized. 

Dr.  Rogers  treatment  of  Russell  was  in 
my  opinion  enlightening,  amusing  and 
tastefully  written.  I'm  particularly  happy 
that  such  a  delightful  article  was  written 
by  a  member  of  the  Bucknell  faculty. 

With  warmest  wishes  for  continued 
success. 

Sincerely, 

Art  Rosenbloom  '55

MARCH  1956 


Kress  Art  Work  at  National  Gallery  Anniversary 


An  important  group  of  7U  paintings  and 
24  pieces  of  sculpture,  which  has  been  ac- 
quired in  the  last  five  years  by  the  late  Mr. 
Samuel  H.  Kress  and  by  Mr.  Rush  H.  Kress 
and  the  Samuel  H.  Kress  Foundation,  has 
been  sent  to  the  Xational  Gallery  of  Art  in 
Washington  on  loan  and  will  be  placed  on 
public   exhibition  on   Sunday.   March   18. 

This  exhibition  has  been  arranged  as  part 
of  the  celebration  of  the  Fifteenth  Anni- 
A-arsarj'  of  the  opening  of  the  Xational  Gal- 
ler>'  of  Art,  which  took  place  on  March  17. 
1941.  Many  of  the  works  of  art  in  this  ex- 
hibition may  later  be  offered  to  the  Gallery 
as  gifts,  to  become  part  of  the  Samuel  H. 
Kress  Collection. 

In  this  group  are  many  masterpieces  of 
Italian  art.  such  as  the  beautiful  Madonna 
and  Child  by  Ghirlandaio,  two  of  Titian's 
greatest  portraits.  Doge  Andrea  Gritti,  and 
Admiral  J'inccn:o  CapcUo,  Tintoretto's  Con- 
z'ersion  of  St.  Pan!,  and  outstanding  works 
by  Veronese,  and  El  Greco.  Especially  in- 
teresting is  a  ceiling  painting  by  Titian,  the 
only  work  of  its  kind  outside  of  Venice.  A 
room  is  being  arranged  so  that  this  painting 
may  be  seen  on  a  ceiling  as  originally  in- 
tended. 

The  German  paintings  in  the  loan  exhibi- 
tion are  no  less  extraordinary  than  the 
Italian.  They  include  such  rare  Primitives 
as  the  Master  of  Saint  \'eronica  and  the 
Master  of  the  Saint  Bartholomew  .Altar,  and 
later  masters  such  as  Baldung  Grien,  Cran- 
ach,  and  Holbein.  The  greatest  of  the  Ger- 
man acquisitions,  the  Small  Crucifixion  by 
Mathis  Grunewald  is,  from  the  point  of  view 
of  rarity  and  emotional  intensity,  the  out- 
standing German  painting  in  .\merica.  A 
contemporary  of  Durer,  Grunewald  sur- 
passed him  in  e.xpressive  power. 

Especially  notable  are  the  French  paint- 
ings. These  include  one  of  the  two  signed 
works  by  Francois  Clouet.  It  has  been 
thought  to  represent  Diane  de  Poitiers  in 
her  bath.  A  curator  of  the  Louvre  has  re- 
cently described  this  panel  as  "one  of  the 
chief  masterpieces  of  French  .'\rt."  There 
are  also  a  number  of  remarkable  paintings 
from  the  eighteenth  century,  among  them 
VVatteau's  Ceres  or  Summer.  Of  the  four 
paintings  of  the  seasons  which  the  youthful 
Wattcau  executed  for  the  dining  room  of 
Pierre  Crozat's  mansion  in  Paris,  this  alone 
has  survived.  Two  other  decorative  paint- 
ings of  great  beauty  are  the  large  canvasses 
by  Fragonard,  which  arc  consiflcrcd  the  most 
impressive  comiKisitions  he  ever  attempted. 

Remarkable  also  are  four  eighteenth-cen- 
tury French  portraits.  The  earliest,  by  Nat- 
tier, is  of  the  Baron  dc  la  Mosson,  an  ama- 
teur naturalist  and  a  representative  figure 
of  the  .Age  of  Reason.  Ft  was  shown  in  the 
.Salon  of  1746.  and  was  judged  Xattier's  out- 
standing masterpiece  in  this,  one  of  his  most 
imiKjrtant  exhibitions.  The  next  in  date  is 
a  iKjrtrait  of  the  painter,  Herbert  Robert,  by 
hi»  frictul,  Fragonard.  It  is  a  gay,  cheerful 
■tainting.  Here  there  is  no  indication  of  the 
coming  Revolution.  When  the  Revolution 
came,  it  .sccm.s  to  have  aflected  even  human 
physiognomy,  jurjging  from  another  impor- 
tant KrcsH  ac(|uisition,  David's  |>ortrait  of 
his  wife,  who  gazes  at  the  spectator  with 
hard  and  ralrulaling  eyes,  David  liiniself 
was  the  Talleyrand  of  (Kiinlcrs,  .Nothing 
couM  be  more  flattering  than  hi»  likeness  of 

MARCH  ItM 


Xapoleon,  which  was  lent  last  sunmier  by 
the  Kress  Foundation  to  the  Paris  exhibi- 
tion, "Salute  to  France,"  and  is  one  of  the 
great  masterpieces  in  the  present  exhibition. 
Curiously  enough,  the  portrait  was  com- 
missioned by  a  Scottish  peer,  the  Duke  of 
Hamilton. 

In  the  field  of  sculpture  the  new  Kress 
loans  bring  to  this  country  one  of  the  most 
important  groups  of  Italian  Gothic  and 
Renaissance  sculpture  to  cross  the  ocean. 
Outstanding  are  the  Archangel  Gabriel  and 
the  Virgin  Annunciate  by  Nino  Pisano,  two 
life-size  polychromed  wood  figures  wonder- 
fully preserved.  Six  smaller  Gothic  figures 
and  a  Renaissance  relief  by  Benedetto  da 
Maiano  come  from  the  Liechtenstein  Collec- 
tion. From  a  later  period  is  a  bronze  candle- 
stick in  the  form  of  a  winged  figure.  It  is 
attributed  to  Francesco  di  Giorgio  and  was 
formerl}'  in  the  Kaiser  Friedrich  Museum  in 
Berlin.  Two  busts  by  Alessandro  Vittoria 
also  come  from  a  European  museum,  in  this 
case  the  Kunsthistorisches  Museum  in 
Vienna.  Another  great  masterpiece  is  the 
bust  by  Bernini  from  the  Barberini  Collec- 
tion. 

Another  feature  of  the  March  17th  exhibi- 
tion will  be  the  new  installation  of  the  Drey- 
fus Bronze  Collection,  which  was  acquired 
by  the  Kress  Foundation  some  years  ago. 
This  is  one  of  the  two  largest  collections  in 
the  world  of  Renaissance  medals,  plaquettes, 
and  small  bronzes.  A  very  beautiful  in- 
stallation has  been  arranged  in  three  rooms 
specially  prepared  for  this  exhibit  on  the 
ground  floor. 

As  in  the  case  of  paintings,  the  Kress 
Foundation  has  acquired  important  French 
sculpture.  There  is  a  statue  of  Louis  XIV 
by  Martin  Desjardins  and  busts  of  Mon- 
seigneur  Le  Grand  Dauphin  by  Coysevox 
and  the  Due  de  Bourgogne  by  an  unknown 
French  sculptor  of  the  first  half  of  the 
eighteenth  century. 

Outstanding  is  the  i)ortrait  of  Cagliostro 
by  Houdon,  a  recent  gift  to  the  Gallery  from 
the  Kress  Foundation  and  not  heretofore  ex- 
hibited. An  engraving  after  the  bust  was 
used  by  Carlyle  for  his  description  of  Cag- 
liostro, who  had,  as  the  Scottish  historian 
said,  "the  most  perfect  quack  face  produced 
by   the   eighteenth   century." 

Of  the  recent  gifts  from  the  Kress  Foun- 
dation some  were  temporarily  exhibited  on 
loan  in  19S1  ;  others  have  been  acquired 
since  that  time  and  have  never  previously 
been  .shown  at  the  (jallery.  The  latter  num- 
bering 1,3  gifts  will  be  temjjorarily  grouped 
together  for  the  March  exhibition  in  Gallery 
41  before  being  permanently  installed  with 
the  earlier  donations  in  the  Kress  Collec- 
tion. Included  in  this  group  are  two  fa- 
mous l-'lorentine  paintings :  a  portrait  by 
Botticelli  of  Giuliano  de'  Medici,  in  many 
ways  his  greatest  jiortrait,  and  the  Dreyfus 
Madonna  which  has  been  ascribed  by  many 
critics  to  Leonardo  da  Vinci.  Another  im- 
portant work  from  the  Kunsthistorisches 
Museum  in  Vieinia  Rebecca  al  Ihc  Well  by 
Paolo  Veronese,  is  also  included.  Other  paiiil 
ings  not  previously  shown  are  by  Ciniabnc, 
Paolo  Vencziani).  Alldorfcr.  /inlj.iran,  and 
Van  Dyck. 


Engineering  Alumni  Meet 
in  New  Yorl( 

The  organizational  meeting  of  Bucknell 
engineers  was  held  at  the  Engineer's  Club 
in  New  York  on  Friday,  January  13,  with 
the  following  organization  committee 
members  in  attendance:  Admiral  E.  M. 
EUer,  Earl  iM.  Richards  '13,  Robert  L. 
Rooke  '13,  Morris  D.  Hooven  '20,  Lester 
E.  Lighten  '20,  Harry  L.  Nancarrow  '20, 
T.  Cortlandt  Williams  '20,  Roy  H.  Landis 
'22,  Donald  O.  Eschbach  '25,  John  B.  Mil- 
ler '26,  George  "VV.  Hart  '27,  R.  Barlow 
Smith  '27,  Campbell  Rutledge,  Jr.  'ii, 
Frank  E.  Gerlitz  '34,  Joseph  C.  Duddy 
'27,  M.  E.  Cook  '43.  and  Eugene  R. 
Levitt  '44. 

As  the  first  order  of  business,  the  com- 
mittee elected  officers  consisting  of  Ligh- 
ten, chairman;  Nancarrow,  vice-chairman; 
Hooven,  vice-chairman;  Rooke,  treasurer; 
and   Miller,  secretary. 

Following  the  election,  the  group  set 
up  the  objectives  of  the  organization  as, 
"The  basic  aim  is  to  improve  engineering 
education  at  Bucknell  through  Alumni  re- 
view, advice,  and  assistance.  Some  broad 
goals  to  be  considered  are:  increased  fac- 
ulty pay,  improved  curricula,  improved 
facilities,  expanded  graduate  study  and  re- 
search, increased  fellowships  and  scholar- 
ships, improved  relations  with  industry 
including  more  industry  support,  im- 
proved contacts  with  secondary  schools, 
and  stimulating  interest  in  science  and  en- 
gineering and  similar  problems." 

ORGANIZATION     NAME     SOUGHT 

Since  all  Alumni  should  be  given  an  op- 
portunity to  suggest  the  name  for  the  en- 
gineering Alumni  organization,  an  award 
of  $100  cash,  donated  by  Richards,  Rooke, 
Nancarrow,  and  Williams  will  be  offered 
as  a  prize  to  the  person  submitting  the 
name  considered  by  the  judges  to  be  most 
suitable. 

Twelve  operating  committees  with  their 
chairmen  thus  far  selected  were  set  up  as 
follows:  Alembership  and  Alumni  Con- 
tacts, including  Constitution  and  By- 
Laws,  Rutledge;  Improvement  of  Engi- 
neering Education,  including  Curricula, 
Faculty  Graduate  study,  Hooven;  Indus- 
try Relations,  Richards;  Fellowships, 
Schnure;  Finance,  Rooke;  Research,  Lan- 
dis and  Smith;  Pulilic  Relations  and  Pub- 
lications, Levitt;  Long  Range  Planning 
and  Future  Development,  Hart;  and  these 
4  committees  established  with  chairmen 
still  to  be  selected  are:  Facilities  and 
Equipment.  Secondary  School  Contacts, 
Scholarships,  and  Special   Projects. 

It  was  agreed  by  all  that  this  new  or- 
ganization of  Bucknell  Engineering  Alum- 
ni presents  an  excellent  opportunity  to 
serve  Bucknell  and  industry.  Strong  sup- 
port for  the  program  can  be  given  by  in- 
dividual Bucknellians  anywhere  and  will 
be  especially  effective  if  two  or  more  can 
work  together,  regardless  of  their  geo- 
graphic locations.  Bucknell  engineers 
were  cordially  invited  to  volunteer  for 
work  on  the  operating  cinnniitlces.  Those 
interested  should  write  to  Prof,  John  B. 
Miller,  secretary  of  the  new  organization, 
liucknell   llniversity,   Lewisburg,    Peima.

Theiss  '02,  In  A  New  Writing  Field 


by   JOHN    H.   "BUCK"   SHOTT 


Recently  I  interviewed  Lew  Theiss  about 
his  new  writing  venture,  for  after  a  man 
has  written  forty-five  books  and  hundreds 
of  magazine  articles  along  given  lines,  it 
seems  interesting  that  he  should  shift  to 
another  angle.  But  there  is  a  reason.  An 
old  injury,  sustained  years  ago  in  athletics, 
has  become  aggravated  to  the  point  where  he 
no  longer  feels  able  to  travel  the  country 
over,  as  for  many  years  he  did.  in  search  of 
writing  material.  So,  as  he  puts  it,  he  must 
now  get  his  material  from  his  bookshelves, 
his  collection  of  clippings,  or  his  head. 

This  may  necessitate  an  explanation.  The 
outbreak  of  World  War  I  found  him  living 
at  his  country  home.  But  the  magazines 
were  no  longer  interested  in  his  usual  line 
of  work.  They  wanted  war  stuff.  So  he 
shifted  to  gardening  and  horticulture,  for  the 
slogan  of  that  war  was  "Food  will  win  the 
war."  Theiss  was  then  operating  his  130- 
acre  farm,  developing  orchards  and  vine- 
yards and  gardens.  He  became  an  editor  of 
the  National  War  Garden  Commission,  was 
taken  on  by  the  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Plant  In- 
dustry as  an  experimenter,  became  garden 
editor  for  three  magazines,  including  Good 
Housekeeping,  and  thus  found  himself 
launched  in  a  new  line  of  work.  He  has  been 
at  it  ever  since.  But  now  he  is  looking  at 
the  future,  and  writing  about  food  produc- 
tion from  this  new  point  of  view. 

As  he  said,  "With  our  storage  houses 
bulging  with  surplus  foods,  it  may  seem 
ridiculous  to  write  about  days  of  food  short- 
age. 

"If  you  follow  population  statistics,  you 
will  know  that  the  Census  Bureau  figures 
show  that  our  population  is  growing  at  a 
rate  of  3,000,000  persons  a  year.  We  now 
have  a  population  of  166.000.000  souls.  If 
we  continue  at  the  present  rate,  in  the  next 
forty-five  years  we  shall  add  125,000,000 
persons  to  our  population,  giving  us  a  total 
population  of  291,000,000.  And  feeding  that 
number  is  quite  different  from  feeding  166,- 
000.000.  To  be  sure,  nobody  can  predict 
with  certainty  what  our  population  will  be 
forty-five  years  hence.  But  one  thing  is 
sure.  All  history  shows  that  populations  do 
increase  continually,  and  where  the  people 
are  best  fed  they  increase  the  fastest.  Many 
of  our  present  Bucknell  alumni  will  be  about 
in  the  year  2,000  and  they  will  know  the 
truth  about  the  matter.  Also,  they  will 
want  something  to  eat.  All  we  can  do  now 
is  to  look  at  such  facts  as  we  have  and  act 
accordingly." 

"Well,  just  what  do  you  have  in  mind?" 
I  asked. 

"Simply  this :  To  get  folks  aroused,  es- 
pecially farmers,  lumbermen,  and  land  own- 
ers generally,  so  that  they  will  strive  to  main- 
tain our  agricultural  resources  at  no  less 
than  their  present  level  and  to  increase  them 
if  possible. 

"In  all  sections  of  the  nation  there  are 
areas — a  vast  acreage  in  all — of  soil  so 
farmed  out  that  it  has  now  been  largely 
abandoned.  That  acreage  is  steadily  increas- 
ing. Yet  that  soil  can  be  reconditioned.  The 
proposed   soil   bank   plan   should   help   here. 

"But  that  isn't  the  only  thing  to  consider. 
Water  is  equally  important.  As  everybody 
knows,  there  is  a  growing  shortage  of  water." 

"That  seems  obvious,"  I  said.  "But  how 
do  you  propose  to  increase  the  water 
supply?" 

"I  don't  think  that  that  can  be  done,"  was 
the  reply.  "But  if  we  will  conserve  what 
we  have,  it  will  help  incredibility." 

"And  how  do  you  hope  to  bring  that 
about?"

"By  enlightening  folks.  A  recent  article 
of  mine  in  the  Pennsylvania  Farmer  was 
titled  'What  Has  Become  of  Our  Water?', 
and  the  article  was  written  to  show  that 
every  cubic  foot  of  soil  lost  through  erosion 
is  a  cubic  foot  of  original  reservoir  lost  for- 
ever. For  the  earth  is  far  more  than  merely 
so  much  agricultural  space.  It  is  the  great 
reservoir.  When  nature  made  the  earth,  she 
obviously  set  it  up  on  this  plan :  The  winter 
snows  and  the  spring  rains  were  to  provide 
water  for  the  summer  days  when,  if  plants 
are  to  grow,  they  must  have  warm,  dry 
weather,  for  plants  cannot  stand  continuous 
rains.  The  enormous  quantity  of  water  need- 
ed by  agriculture  must  be  the  water  that  is 
already  in  the  ground.  Nature  puts  it  there 
in  the  spring  and  fits  the  earth  to  hold  it. 
The  frosts  have  loosened  the  ground  so  it 
will  absorb  enormous  quantitites  of  water. 
Nature  covers  the  earth  with  mulch,  which 
prevents  evaporation  and  erosion,  and  she 
feeds  the  water  to  the  farm  lands  through 
springs  and  brooks  and  rivers.  That  is,  she 
did — until  men  upset  the  scheme.  We  cut 
the  forests,  denuded  the  mountains,  burned 
up  their  covering  of  duft',  farmed  the  humus 
out  of  our  fields,  so  that  now  much  of  our 
land  will  scarcely  absorb  or  hold  water  and 
there  is  far  less  land  to  hold  water.  So  it 
runs  off  in  destructive  floods  that  have  been 
growing  worse  and  worse.  Thus  we  lose 
both  the  water  and  the  soil  eroded  by  the 
floods." 

"I'll  agree  about  the  floods,  but  what  about 
this  loss  of  soil  you  mention.  Is  it  really  as 
bad  as  you  think?" 

"If  we  can  believe  statistics  of  the  soil 
scientists,  we  find  that  when  the  Pilgrims 
came  ashore  at  Plymouth  Rock,  only  three 
hundred  years  ago,  we  had  an  average  of 
nine  inches  of  topsoil.  Today  we  have  six. 
.\iiA  much  of  that  is  depleted.  So  far  as  ac- 
tual soil  is  concerned,  the  same  scientists 
tell  us  that  every  year — and  note  that — 
every  year — we  now  lose  200,000,000  tons  of 
topsoil  through  erosion.  Where  does  that 
put  you  in  another  century?" 

"But  aren't  we  taking  steps  to  stop  that — 
with  strip  farming,  contour  plowing,  and  so 
on?" 

"We  are,  and  it  is  the  most  hopeful  thing 
that  I  can  think  of.  But  we  still  need  to 
wake  up.  All  intelligent  farmers  have  no 
doubt  regretted  the  loss  of  soil  through  ero- 
sion. What  they  have  not  realized,  I  think, 
is  that  they  are  losing  reservoir  capacity  as 
well.  What  I  am  concerned  about  is  to  get 
everybody  who  owns  land — farmers,  lumber- 
men, manufacturers — to  wake  up  to  what  lies 
ahead.  Too  many  folks  laugh  when  you 
talk  about  a  food  shortage  and  point  to  our 
present   huge  food  surpluses. 

"Well,  Dr.  Vannevar  Bush  pointed  out  the 
other  day  that  the  world's  population  is 
now  2,500.000,000  and  that  it  is  estimated 
that  in  fifty  years  it  will  be  5,000,000.000. 
His  solution  for  the  problem  is  to  limit 
population.    But  how  can  you  do  that? 

"However,  I  do  know  that  with  an  altered 
agriculture — which  must  include  more  tree 
crops  as  well  as  field  plants,  we  can  feed 
immensely  more  folks  than  we  can  now  with 
our  present  system  alone.  With  our  moun- 
tains and  rough  areas  covered  with  chest- 
nuts, oak  trees,  honey  locusts,  and  like  crop 
trees,  we  can  feed  vast  numbers  directly 
with  the  tree  crops  or  through  meat  fattened 
on  the  tree  crops.  The  pioneers  all  fattened 
their  hogs  on  acorns,  turning  the  animals 
loose  in  the  forest.  Cattle  fairly  love  the 
seed  pods  of  the  honey  locust  and  will  desert 
other  food  for  it.     And  locust  trees,  being 


legumes,   put   nitrogen  in  the  soil.      So   I'm 
writing  about  tree   crops,   too." 

"Then  you  think  we  ought  to  start  raising 
food  on  our  mountains  as  well  as  in  our 
lowlands?" 

"Perhaps  not  now,  but  eventually.  Mean- 
time, we  could  be  getting  ready,  feeling  out 
the  situation,  as  it  were.  Take  Italy,  for 
instance.  As  everybody  knows,  her  great- 
est problem  is  to  feed  the  population  she 
has  now — a  population  that  grows  by  leaps 
and  bounds.  She  couldn't  do  it  if  it  were  not 
for  the  chestnut  trees  that  cover  the  moun- 
tain slopes  for  miles  and  sustain  great  num- 
bers of  people.  Well,  we've  got  plenty  of 
mountain  slopes  ourselves,  that  you  can't 
by  any  possibility  farm.  But  you  can  raise 
lots  of  food  on  them  just  as  the  Italians  do — 
through  tree  crops." 

"I  get  your  idea.  But  how  do  you  propose 
to  bring  this  about?" 

"I  never  can.  But  if  we  can  get  folks  to 
thinking  about  the  matter,  and  particularly 
to  experimenting  a  bit,  perhaps  by  planting 
rows  of  nut  trees  along  their  fields,  or  the 
best  sorts  of  acorns  on  rough  areas  and 
pasturing  hogs  there,  or  setting  out  honey 
locusts  on  steep  slopes  or  rough  ground  and 
seeing  hovi'  the  cattle  respond,  the  end  result 
is  certain.  If  things  that  I  might  write 
make  folks  think  about  these  matters,  the 
end  result  is  certain,  although  it  takes  time 
to  accomplish  it. 

"I  am  convinced  that  farming  methods 
must  change  somewhat,  for  although  our 
farmers  produce  good  crops,  some  of  their 
methods  are  harming  the  earth  itself.  If 
we  can  get  folks  to  thinking  about  the 
matter,  sooner  or  later  solutions  will  be 
found.  See  how  long  it  took  for  us  to  start 
strip  farming  and  contour  plowing,  and 
the  making  of  farm  ponds.  We  may  even 
have  to  make  swamps  instead  of  draining 
them.  They  are  part  of  nature's  plan  for 
watering  the  earth.  As  I  see  it  the  more 
nearly  we  can  duplicate  nature's  methods, 
the  more  successful  we  shall  be.  Organic 
gardening  is  a  big  step  forward.  We  have  a 
big  problem.  Before  we  can  solve  it,  we've 
got  to  make  folks  realize  that  there  is  a 
problem.  What  better  job  could  a  fellow 
do  than  to  set  folks  to  thinking  about  these 
very  vital  matters?"

EMERITUS   CLUB 

BIRTHDAYS 

A  birthday  is  a  fine  old  thing 
A  lot  of  joj"  it  sure  may  bring. 
The  trouble  is  they  come  so  fast, 
Each  one's  supply  can"t  ever  last. 
But  what  of  that,  if  while  we  live 
A  cheerful  spirit  Life  will  give! 
And  that  it  vriU.  if  we  are  smart 
And  nobly  act  our  proper  part. 
Anyhow  we'll  let  them  come. 
And  with  it  all  have  lots  of  fun.

ser\-ed  as  treasurer  for  several  terms. 

It  is  with  regret  that  we  announce  the 
death  of  Mrs.  Evelyn  Booth  Humeston, 
Xov.  22.  1955.  She  was  the  widow  of 
Edwin  Alden  ("Hummy")  Humeston,  a 
graduate  of  the  class  of  '99  and  a  promi- 
nent football  player  and  teammate  of 
Christ}'  Mathewson.  Mrs.  Humeston  is 
suri'ived  by  two  daughters,  Mrs.  Don  L. 
Larrabee  and  Mrs.  William  M.  Whitten, 
Jr.  and  two  sons,  E.  Alden  Humeston,  Jr., 
and  John  Alden  Humeston.  A  sister,  two 
brothers,  and  five  grandchildren  also  sur- 
vive. 

We  are  sorry  to  report  the  death  of 
Mrs.  Myrtle  S.  Holter  (Myrtle  Smith). 
Mrs.  Holter  was  a  graduate  of  Bucknell 
University  with  the  class  of  1895  and 
was  a  music  teacher  for  many  j-ears. 

We  also  regret  to  report  the  death  of 
Miss  Nettie  Parkhurst.  Miss  Parkhurst 
majored  in  music  when  she  attended  Buck- 
nell in  '96. 

We  are  saddened  to  hear  of  the  untime- 
ly bereavement  suffered  by  John  C.  John- 
son '04  in  the  death  of  his  wife.  Inez,  on 
Dec.  26,  1955  from  a  coronary  thrombosis. 
The  sympathy  of  classmates  is  e.xtended 
to  Johnny  and  his  daughter,  Dorothy. 

Dr.  A.  R.  E.  Wyant  rejoices  in  West 
Palm  Beach,  Fla.  over  the  Ford  gift  of 
more  than  a  half  million  dollars  to  Buck- 
nell and  is  glad  that  he  helped  to  earn 
some  of  it  by  driving  a  Model  T  in  1908 
and  now  a  Lincoln  Cosmopolitan.  He 
hopes  that  General  Motors  will  also  come 
across  as  he  drove  a  Cadillac  for  ten  years.

We  regret  to  inform  you  of  the  death 
of  Rev.  John  W.  Green.  Rev.  Green  was 
a  retired  Baptist  clergyman,  living  in 
Philadelphia.  He  is  survived  by  his  wife,

DR.  LEO  L.  ROCirWELL 
Colgate  University 
Hamilton.  N.  Y. 

The  Grim  Reaper  is  still  swinging  his 
fateful  scythe.  Frank  Smigelsky  died 
Dec.  13,  1955  at  his  home  in  Sj-racuse, 
N.  Y.,  aged  69,  following  a  heart  attack. 

Following  his  graduation  with  us,  Frank 
taught  mathematics  for  some  time  in  the 
high  school  of  his  native  city,  Mt.  Carniel, 
then  transferred  to  Oklahoma  City.  At 
the  outbreak  of  World  War  I,  he  enlisted 
in  the  field  artillery,  being  discharged  at 
war's  end  with  the  rank  of  first  lieutenant. 

In  1922,  he  came  to  Syracuse  as  an 
instructor  in  mathematics.  For  more 
than  ten  years,  he  was  head  of  his  depart- 
ment there,  then  transferred  to  chairman- 
ship of  the  department  in  Nottingham 
High.  In  World  War  II,  he  served  as 
captain  in  the  .\ir  Corps,  rising  during  the 
war  to  the  rank  of  major. 

He  was  a  past  president  of  the  Syracuse 
Teachers  Association  and  of  the  School- 
masters Club_;  former  exalted  ruler  in  the 
B.  P.  O.  E.;  and  a  member  of  various 
Masonic  bodies. 

He  is  survived  by  his  wife,  Nora;  a 
daughter,  Mrs.  .A.rthur  Adler,  now  residing 
in  France;  four  brothers  and  three  sisters; 
four  grandchildren  and  several  nieces  and 
nephews. 

The  esteem  in  which  he  was  held  in 
Syracuse  is  shown  by  the  following  edi- 
torial published  Dec.  15,  1955  in  Tlie  Post- 
Standard  of  that  city : 

"Frank  D.  Smigelsky,  who  died  Tuesday 
at  his  home,  was  one  of  the  best  known 
educators  in  New  York  State.  He  was 
noted  not  only  by  the  breadth  of  his 
knowledge  of  his  chosen  field,  mathema- 
tics, but  also  for  his  enthusiasm  for  teach- 
ing. 

He  served  in  both  world  wars,  becoming 
a  lieutenant  of  artillery  in  the  first  and  a 
major  of  the  Air  Corps  in  the  second. 
He  came  to  Syracuse  in  1922  and  had 
lived  here  since,  becoming  in  1938  the 
first  mathematics  supervisor  appointed  by 
the  Board  of  Education. 

His  success  as  a  teacher  and  his  devo- 
tion to  the  profession  for  many  years  set 
a  high  standard  for  his  associates,  both  in 
Syracuse   and   throughout   the   state." 

Your  reporter  authored  an  article  'An- 
other Footnote  on  Church-State,"  pub- 
lished in  the  Oct.  1,  1955,  issue  of  School 
and  Society. 

The  "Footnote"  comments  on  what 
seems  to  be  an  unhistorical  criticism  by 
Fr.  Thurston  Davis,  S.  J.,  on  Freeman 
Butts'  interpretation  of  Thomas  Jeffer- 
son's use  of  certain  words  in  his  discus- 
sion of  the  relations  of  church  and  stale. 
The  "Footnote"  states;  "It  is  a  truism  in 
the  study  of  language  that  any  ultirance 
must  be  interpreted  in  the  '.ight  of  the 
usage  of  the  time  and  of  the  person."  In 
the  writer's  opinion  Fr.  Davis  has  fallen  vic- 
tim to  the  "single  meaning  fallacy"  in  his 
definition  of  certain  words. 

The  Rev.  Alfred  M.  Whitby  died  at 
Madelia,  Minn.,  on  S(|.l.  12,  1955,  of  a 
stroke.  A  letter  from  his  widow  expresses 
the  gratitude  of  the  family  that  liis  taking- 
ofT  was  sudden,  so  that  he  did  not  suffer; 
although  he  had  been  in  fair  health  Id  the 


end.  He  had  known  for  years  of  a  heart 
condition  which  might  be  fatal  at  any  time. 
In  college  "Parson",  as  he  was  generally 
known,  was  a  member  of  the  "East  Wing" 
gang,  the  second  and  third  floor  boj's,  who 
grew  to  expect  his  coming  heralded  by  "a 
joyful  noise  before  the  Lord",  for  he  loved 
to  sing. 

Following  graduation  he  attended  Roch- 
ester Theological  Seminary  (now  Colgate- 
Rochester  Divinity  School).  From  a 
pastorate  at  Blairsville  he  moved  to  the 
North  Central  area,  where  he  was  pastor 
of  Baptist  churches  in  South  Dakota, 
Wyoming,  Minnesota  and  Iowa,  returning 
then  to  Minnesota. 

In  1917  he  married  Mabel  Fanning  of 
Madelia,  who,  with  three  daughters,  sur- 
vives him.  Unable  to  attend  the  40th  Re- 
union of  the  class,  he  wrote :  "I  have 
learned  in  forty  years  that  the  ideals  and 
spirit  of  Jesus  furnish  the  best  program 
for  personal  and  international  life."  His 
own  life  has  surely  earned  the  Master's 
words,  "Well  done,  good  and  faithful  ser- 
vant." 

Charles  Francis  Potter  took  time  off 
from  a  busj'  life  to  write  your  corres- 
pondent a  budget  of  news.  As  usual,  he 
is  immersed  in  research  preparatory  to 
publishing  a  few  books.  He  has  two 
destined  to  appear  in  1956,  three  on  the 
way  for  1957.  He  swears  that  he  will 
be  back  for  our  50th,  however.  (But  we 
remember  some  previous  resolutions, 
Charles  Francis.  We'll  certainly  sue  for 
breach  of  promise  if  you  don't  make  it 
this  time.) 

.A.t  the  moment  he  is  doing  his  home 
work  (not  at  home,  of  course,  but  in  the 
N.  Y.  C.  libraries)  on  the  Dead  Sea 
Scrolls,  on  which  he  is  now  lecturing; 
recently  he  spoke  on  them  before  the 
Baltimore  Ethical  Society.  One  of  the 
books  scheduled  for  '57  will  be  a  sequel 
to  his  Faitlis,  which  has  had  a  surprising 
popularity  in  Scotland,  Australia  and 
South  Africa. 

For  once  C.  F.  has  included  a  lot  of 
family  news.  His  wife  Clara  has  been 
quite  ill  for  several  months,  but  is,  we 
hope,  on  the  way  to  recovery.  His  son 
Richard  lives  in  Marysville,  California, 
busy  with  planning  superhighways  and 
problems  of  water  supply  in  that  area, 
while  his  painter  wife,  Betty,  sells  her 
canvases  of  that  Lassen  Peak  region. 
Frank  resigned  as  editor  of  seven  trade 
magazines  to  .go  into  tlie  field  which  he 
thinks  most  important  in  industry — labor 
and  management  relations.  After  special 
study  at  Cornell  he  is  now  looking  for  a 
high  level  position  in  this  field.  Myron 
came  out  of  the  service  after  World  War 
II  affected  by  epilepsy  grand  mal  but  is 
now  recovered  and,  Potterlike,  is  writing 
a  book  about  his  experience.  He  is  now 
residing  in   the  Adirondacks. 

Wliy  don't  some  of  the  rest  of  you  lazy 
duffers  write  me  a  similar  detail  about 
vourselves  and  vours?

Leone  Havice  Wallace  writes:  "I  have 
been  working  for  a  firm  of  accountants  in 
Cleveland.  Will  continue  through  Jan- 
uary, then  prepare  to  leave  for  Florida  to 
stay  until  May.  I  am  counting  on  seeing 
you  in  1957.  In  the  meantime  may  you 
have  a  happy  and  prosperous  New  Year." 

This  from  Helen  Ruth:  "I  must  tell  you 
that  I  always  look  forward  to  your  news 
item.  It  is  always  very  interesting.  You 
wondered  why  I  seemed  to  change  my  ad- 
dress frequently.  To  make  a  long  story 
short,  I  have  made  my  life  work  and  in- 
terest the  organization  and  running  of 
school  libraries.  This  interest  began  when 
I  taught  in  New  Orleans  the  first  year  I 
was  out  of  college.  I  took  up  the  work 
at  Tulane  University  because  there  weren't 
any  other  subjects  available.  I  started  in 
Reading,  then  went  to  Mahanoy  Twp. 
School.  I  taught  in  T.  C.  at  Temple  Sum- 
mer School,  also  at  the  N.  J.  Library 
School  at  Ocean  City  in  the  summer. 
When  I  went  to  Trenton,  I  stayed  a  long 
time.  Retired  and  am  now  in  Jr.  and  Sr. 
High   School  of  my  home   town,   Oxford.

I  couldn't  get  to  class  reunion  in  1952  on 
account  of  my  aging  mother.  I  wanted  to 
be  with  her  as  much  as  possible.  She 
passed  away  in  July  of  that  year.  I  am 
looking  forward  to  the  next  reunion." 

Violet  Wetterau  Naumann  writes:  "I 
enjoyed  your  very  realistic  description  of 
'our"  college  days'.  Louis  and  I  spent 
Christmas  with  Betty  in  Pittsburgh.  It 
really  is  lovely  with  the  family  in  different 
parts  of  the  country.  Here's  to  a  good 
New  Year  to  you  and  yours  and  a  Happy 
Christmas." 

Eva  H.  Apgar:  "I  am  looking  forward 
to  our  45th  Reunion,  doesn't  seem  it  is  so 
near  at  hand.  I  hope  everyone  will  look 
as  well  as  at  the  40th." 

Merton  Ogden:  You  are  doing  a  swell 
job  as  class  secretary,  and  the  Ogden  fam- 
ily wishes  you  the  best  Christmas  holiday 
ever.  I  have  no  news  for  your  column, 
but  I  promise  to  attend  the  next  reunion — 
that  is  if  I  am  still  ambulatory  by  then  and 
I  plan  to  be.  Seriously,  '08-'12  were  my 
best  years  and  I  didn't  know  it.  Now  I 
hope  to  go  back  to  Lewisburg  often  and 
see  the  members  of  the  class  '12. 
"Dear  Maze,  et  ux?  ?  ? 
This  little  card  has  been  waiting  for 
nearly  a  month  to  take  its  little  trip. 
Somewhere  I  have  your  address,  but  too 
carefully  hidden  away.  I  found  the  first 
name  of  your  husband,  even  the  house 
number,  but  I  couldn't  send  it  to  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Maze — .  I  had  not  saved  any  Alumni 
magazines,  grand  as  your  literary  offerings 
therein  are.  I'll  be  on  hand  in  June  1957. 
Rip." 

Art  Waltz:  "Your  news  items  are  'tops'. 
Keep  looking  forward  to  each  new  num- 
ber to  get  the  low-down.  See  Fred  Igler 
often.  Keep  up  your  pep  for  our  next  re- 
union. Looking  forward  even  though  it's 
still  18  months  away." 

"You  have  no  idea  how  many  times  I 
think  of  interesting  items  for  your  column, 
but  there  either  isn't  any  pen  or  paper 
near,  or  there  isn't  any  time  to  write  the 
brilliant  thoughts.  We'll  be  looking  for- 
ward to  reading  your  next  gems  of  wis- 
dom and  to  seeing  you  at  Commence- 
ment."   Alberta  and  Cleveland  Conner. 

(Reporter's  Note:  I'm  going  to  pro- 
vide Alberta  with  a  little  kit  in  which  to 
carry  her  tools.  It  certainly  would  help 
my  column.) 

"Happy  New  Year  to  you  and  all  the 
members  of  our   class   still  surviving." 

Bob  Meyer 

I  sometimes  wonder  if  you  folks  know 
when  our  class  reports  go  to  the  printer. 
We  have  five  issues.  The  deadlines  are: 
August  11,  for  September;  October  6,  for 
November;  December  8,  for  January; 
February  2,  for  March;  April  5,  for  May. 

So  when  you  read  my  Christmas  news 
in  March  don't  think  "I'm  off  my  rocker." 
I'm  a  little  tottery  under  foot  but  I  hope 
I'm  still  in  my  right  mind.  Write  me 
your  troubles,  I  don't  have  any. 


and  you  would  be  surprised  to  know  how 
many  more.  Whenever  a  class  was  left 
over  in  any  department,  it  was  always 
mine.  I've  always  been  so  glad  I  couldn't 
sing."  Referring  to  compensation,  she 
says,  "it  is  a  feeling  of  security  .  .  . 
should  I  get  into  difficulty  any  place  east 
of  the  Mississippi  River,  some  one  would 
show  up  to  rescue  me  and  he  would  be 
one  of  my  former  students."  For  the  past 
two  years  Marion  has  been  employed  by 
the  Wcllsboro  Gasette,  and  has  also  been 
doing  the  Wellsboro  correspondence  for 
the  IVilliamsport  Sun-Gasette,  and  recent- 
ly also  for  the  Coming  (N.  Y.)  Leader. 
In  closing,  "Should  you  and  Mrs.  Sanders 
again  be  in  Wellsboro,  either  for  the  In- 
stitute or  to  see  the  canyon,  drop  in  for 
tea,  and  see  the  pretty  flowers  that  I 
grow."  Marion's  address  is  56  Walnut 
Street,  Wellsboro. 

After  retirement  in  1952  from  his  posi- 
tion with  the  N.  Y.  Shipbuilding  Corpora- 
tion, Camden,  N.  J.,  George  Campuzano 
lived  for  two  years  in  Vero  Beach,  Fla., 
then  returned  north  to  Marlton,  N.  J., 
but  in  mid- January  wrote  as  follows: 
"Here  I  am  again  in  Florida.  We  have 
finally  decided  this  is  the  place  for  us.  I 
have  a  nice,  small  home  in  Meadow  Lawn, 
which  is  part  of  St.  Petersburg,  and  I 
think  I  will  like  it.  I  expect  to  see  a  lot 
of  ball  games  here  this  spring."  Address: 
7465  15th  St.,  North. 

Yes,  there  were  a  few  holiday  greeting 
cards  from  classmates.  You  know  it 
makes  a  person  feel  good  42  years  after 
just  to  see  a  signature  of  a  pal  or  gal  of 
college  davs.  It  was  pleasing  to  note  too 
that  L.  Earl  Jackson  ("Deak,"  you  know) 
and  wife  "had  a  superb  vacation  thrill: 
an  air  trip  to  Mexico  City  via  Mianii, 
Havana,  Yucatan;  four  great  weeks  in 
Mexico  City;  home  by  way  of  El  Paso  and 
Carlsbad."  The  Jacksons  seem  very  hap- 
py in  their  Prospect  Park  pastorate.  Then, 
too,  Marwood  Glover  told  of  a  jaunt  to 
Florida,  a  conversation  there  with  Forrest 
Dunkle,  presumably  by  telephone;  a  visit 
of  a  few  hours  with  Richard  Bowling  in 
Norfolk,  Va.,  on  the  return  journey.  And 
so  classmates  of  college  days  do  get  to- 
gether. "Should  auld  acquaintance  be 
forgot?"     No,  really  No. 

"Prexy  Sal,"  Howard  V.  Fisher,  reports 
that  after  stomach  surgery  of  last  June 
he  is  well  on  the  way  to  a  successful  re- 
covery. "I  am  careful  about  what  I  eat, 
eat  less  at  a  time  and  more  often.  Other- 
wise I  would  not  know  that  I  was  sub- 
jected to  surgery.  I  am  looking  forward 
to  the  Reunion  next  June  and  I  hope  it 
will  be  well  attended."  Howard's  letter 
came  from  105  Banana  St.,  Tarpon 
Springs,  Fla.,  where  his  mother  and  a  sis- 
ter now  reside.  His  address  on  our  class 
roster  should  now  read  1319  Reading 
Blvd.,  Wyomissing.

A  reply  letter  from  Marion  E.  Fischler 
your  reporter  wishes  could  be  printed 
verbatim.  Here  is  just  a  little  of  it.  Tell-

Mary  Kunkel  writes  in  her  nice  reply 
to  our  request  for  news,  "Registrar's  Office 
has  been  moved  to  second  floor  of  Roberts 
Hall.  When  the  walls  of  the  lounge  get 
a  coat  of  paint  we  will  be  ready  for  visi- 
tors. Alumni  Office  has  been  moved  to 
the  ground  floor  of  East  College.  You 
will  probably  need  a  conducted  tour  to 
find  folks  the  next  time  you  come  back. 
Drop  in  any  time,  we  will  be  glad  to  see 
you." 

From  Ruth  Hoffa  Rice,  "Have  good 
news  about  Jack,  the  cardiograph  yesterday 
showed  decided  improvement.  The  Doc- 
tor said  he  could  go  up  to  the  Lab,  several 
hours  a  day  now  and  could  teach  one  class 
next  semester.  Of  course  the  scar  is  not 
entirely  healed  and  he  will  need  much  rest

even  yet  but  he  doesn't  feel  so  restricted." 
This  "note  is  dated  December  19,  1955  and 
we  are  all  glad  for  the  encouraging  report. 

From  Florence  Reimensnyder,  "My 
news  is  nil.  Mary's  death  from  a  'Coro- 
nary' last  March  has  left  me  without  a 
rudder  in  life.  I  hope  I  get  settled  this 
spring.  I  am  fairly  well  except  for  a 
cold."  Our  sincere  sympathy  to  you, 
Florence,  in  your  bereavement. 

Frances  McNall  writes  after  more  than 
a  year  of  retirement,  '"I'm  still  too  busy. 
However,  I  love  it.''  Thanks  Frances,  but 
a  few  details,  please.  Mention  must  be 
made  of  a  deserved  honor  in  the  dedication 
of  the  Oakmont  Yearbook  to  Frances  this 
past  year.  She  was  a  long  time  adviser 
to  the  staff  and  brought  honors  to  the  high 
school  many  times. 

From  our  Rabbi  friend  and  classmate, 
S.  H.  Markowitz,  "I  spent  last  summer  in 
Ta.xco.  Me.xico,  studying  the  process  of 
amalgamation  of  ancient  Indian  cultures. 
How  the  religion  of  many  of  the  villages 
in  Central  Mexico,  while  nominalh'  Catho- 
lic, has  retained  some,  and  in  a  few  cases, 
many  customs  and  practices  whose  origin 
can  be  traced  back  to  pre-Christian  times. 
I  went  there  in  order  to  learn  something 
about  the  adaptive  powers  of  primitive 
peoples.  I  don't  think  Bucknell  Alumni 
are  particularly  interested  in  details  of 
such  a  study.  But  I  am  glad  to  report 
that  for  the  second  time  I  am  a  grand- 
father. David  Jeffrey  Markowitz  was 
born  September  28th  last.  His  mother 
took  time  out  from  her  legal  research  at 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania  Law 
School  to  insure  his  safe  arrival."  On  the 
contrary,  your  reporter  finds  your  studies 
most  interesting  and  I  am  sure  many  of 
the  .-Mumni  will  agree. 

Edna  Whittam  Glover  reminds  us  of 
the  flight  of  time  and  urges  all  who  can 
to  return  to  Lewisburg  for  Commence- 
ment June  8-11.     Let  us  heed  her  advice. 

The  Stahler  and  Apgar  Christmas  greet- 
ings were  received.  They  are  well  and 
happy. 

Requests  for  information  addressed  to 
Wilma  Knapp  Morrow  and  Helen  Waite 
Lawrence  were  returned.  News  of  their 
whereabouts   will   be  gratefully  received.

this  past  Christmas  that  we  went  to  the 
Student  Volunteer  Convention  in  Kansas 
City,  Mo.  Sam  was  recently  elected  a 
fellow  in  the  National  Industrial  Medical 
Association.  As  for  Kurtz,  a  testimonial

Cecile  McCollum  of  17  Spruce  St.,  Mon- 
trose, after  graduating  from  the  Music  De- 
partment, began  teaching  piano  in  homes 
through  the  country  during  summer 
months.  When  schools  began  to  teach 
instruments,  pupils  got  instruction  there. 
After  teaching  until  1939,  she  became  an

teaching. 

Dear  Helen  and  Eric: 

Ever  since  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUM- 
NUS announced  that  Eric  was  to  take 
over  for  Amy  as  our  class  reporter  I've 
been  thinking  of  all  of  }'0U.  This  is  just 
to  tell  }'ou  so.  I'm  sorry  Amy,  you  are 
not  tiptop  and  hope  it  is  nothing  serious. 
Both  Fred  and  I  are  taking  pills.  Fred 
says  he  is  going  to  raise  snakeroot  that 
makes  Rauwolfia,  or  whatever  it  is,  when 
we  get  up  in  Sussex  County,  N.  J.  He 
thinks  he'll  soon  make  a  million  since  so 
many  are  taking  it.  And  by  the  way,  we 
hope  to  move  up  there  this  spring. 

Eric,  I'm  glad  you  are  taking  over  for 
.\my  because  I'm  sure  you  will  enjoy  that 
touch  with  Bucknell.  I  always  look  for 
any  news  of  our  '16ers  as  soon  as  the 
magazine  comes.     -\nd  I  do  hope  we  can

Don't  laugh.  This  could  happen  to 
you.  Though  this  was  not  Dr.

work  up  a  good  Reunion  this  year.  I  am 
mentioning  it  to  any  I  contact.  It  is  such 
a  satisfaction  and  joy  to  see  old  friends. 
At  Homecoming  I  had  a  grand  visit  with 
Ruth  and  Al  Hamlin.  They  hope  to  be 
at  the  Reunion. 

By  the  way,  Mary  Jones  Carlson  liad  a 
new  address  on  her  Christmas  card:  115 
Gulfstream  Rd.,  Palm  Beach,  Fla. 

We  visited  our  families  during  the 
Christmas  season  in  Johnstown  and  Pitts- 
burgh.    That  was  fun. 

Our  summer  at  the  cabin  ended  in  a 
hurry  when  "old  man  Delaware"  rose 
forty  feet  during  the  night.  Caught  three 
of  us  asleep  and  we  walked  through  a 
corn  field  in  water  up  to  our  waists.  We 
got  out  too  quickly  to  be  frightened  but 
were  very  thankful  to  reach  high  ground. 
So  were  the  snakes,  woodchucks  and  other 
animals  who  swam  to  safety  along  with 
us.  The  cabin  staj-ed  put  but  the  furniture 
on  the  porches  and  outside  was  washed 
away  and  all  on  the  first  floor  destroyed. 
So  now  we'll  have  a  refurnishing  job  to  do 
before  the  families  come  next  summer. 
What  an  experience! 

When  we  get  to  Sussex  County  none  of 
you  will  be  too  far  away  and  I  hope  you 
will  come  to  see  us.  We'll  let  you  know 
when  and  where.

Fred  Brenner  wrote  as  soon  as  he  re- 
turned from  Europe.  His  son,  Fred  Jr., 
has  been  a  resident  of  Germany  (at  the 
request  of  Uncle  Sam)  for  over  a  year. 
Fred  Jr.  accumulated  leave  and  he  and  his 
Dad  and  Mother  toured  southern  Germany 
and  Switzerland.  Then  the  seniors  con- 
tinued their  trip  througli  .Austria,  Italy 
and  France.  It  was  a  wonderful  trip  and 
visit.  While  away,  son  Dick,  handled  the

in  1919.  Fred  Jr.  '51  and  Dick  '49  are

Had  the  nicest  letter  from  Ruth  Bart- 
hold  Gearhart  who  lives  in  Strondsburg. 
She  said  the  years  at  Bucknell  seemed 
far  away  yet  in  the  note  received  they 
seemed  most  vivid  and  near.  Ruth  tells 
us  that  since  her  husliand's  death  she 
has  been  connected  with  the  Children's 
.Aid  Society  of  Penna.  on  the  local  level 
as  a  case  worker.  She  has  found  the  work 
absorbing  and  rewarding  as  one  can't  grow

and  the  Korean  War  he  gave  two  gallons 
of  blood  to  the  Red  Cross.  Last  winter  he 
had  a  nice  chat  with  Irvin  Sowers,  the 
only  one  of  our  class  Earl  has  seen  since 
leaving  school.  He  says  his  only  spec- 
tacular achievements  are  38  years  of  hap- 
pily married  life,  two  grown  sons  and 
three  grandchildren.  His  hobby  is  grow- 
ing flowers,  iris  and  chrysanthemums  be- 
ing his  specialties.  Earl,  I  think  that  is 
pretty  wonderful. 

Raleigh  Felton  has  two  sons  who  are 
associated  with  him  in  the  retail  lumber 
and  concrete  business  in  South  Boston,  Va. 
They  have  three  plants:  So.  Boston, 
Clarksville  and  So.  Hill,  Va.  Last  year 
Raleigh  and  Mrs.  Felton  travelled  to 
South  America  via  Delta  Steamship  Lines 
and  had  a  very  pleasant  visit  with  Mr. 
Harry  X.  Kelly  '13,  MA'19,  who  is  presi- 
dent of  the  lines.  Harry  lives  in  New 
Orleans,  La.  They  had  a  wonderful  time 
talking  about  Bucknell  days.  The  Feltons 
have  three  grandchildren.  Raleigh's  hob- 
by is  fishing  off  the  South  Carolina  coast 
where  thev  have  a  summer  home  at  Paw- 
ley's  Island.  In  1937-38,  he  was  Com- 
mander of  the  American  Legion.  Dept.  of 
^'a.  He  and  Mary  were  leaving  the  day 
after  he  wrote  to  me  to  spend  a  vacation 
in  Florida.  He  is  setting  aside  the  date  of 
our  40th  Reunion  in   1957. 

An  old  Lewisburg  pal,  Jeanette  Owens 
Fogarty.  says  they  have  moved  to  Florida 
permanently.  Her  husband,  Tom,  has 
been  ill  and  they  have  decided  to  return 
to  a  Avarmer  climate  which  seems  to  agree 
with  him  better.  They  have  chosen  Win- 
ter Park  for  their  new  home  and  like  it 
very  much.  They  have  a  large  lot  and 
boast  of  a  dozen  orange  trees  in  their 
backyard.  They  may  have  seen  some  of 
us  in  February  when  thejr  came  to  Phila- 
delphia to  attend  their  son's  wedding. 

Brick  Yon  has  been  ill  but  has  recovered 
sufficiently  to  go  to  Florida  to  enjoy  the 
sun  and  catch  up  on  some  relaxation.  He 
is  such  a  wonderful  fellow.  We  all  hope 
he  will  soon  be  his  old  self  again.

ed an  officer  in  his  class. 

Dr.  Heim  began  his  teaching  in  the

there  went  to  State  Teachers'  Colleges,

Dear  Classmates  of  1918: — Time  again 
for  another  letter  to  you  and  about  you. 
This  time  I  guess  it  will  have  to  be  ad- 
dressed to  you  since  none  of  you  were 
interested  enough  to  answer  my  last  plea 
for  information.  I  am  sure  that  some 
of  you  have  some  interesting  items  to 
give  us — and  I  am  also  sure  that  not  all 
of  you  are  too  modest  to  write  about 
yourself,  your  interests  and  your  families. 
So,  please,  do  answer  my  letters.  I  have 
a  brand  new  list  of  class  members  and 
I  am  sure  you  have  been  receiving  my 
requests,  because  your  addresses  do  not 
change. 

I  have  been  reading  Dr.  Lewis  Theiss's 
history  of  Bucknell  and  I  most  certainly 
recommend  it  to  one  and  all  as  most  ex- 
citing. You  acquire  respect  for  your  Alma 
Mater  and  its  Founders  that  I  am  sure 
you  never  had  before  reading  the  book. 
It  is  tops. 

Please,  Classmates,  come  to  my  rescue.

I  had  a  Christmas  card  from  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Brown  Focht  (Florence  Utt).  It 
was  grand  to  hear  from  them,  and  to  see 
their  pictures  taken  on  July  31  at  8:30 
P.  M.  with  four  little  Eskimo  friends  at 
Kotzebue,  Alaska's  oldest  Eskimo  village. 
It  must  have  been  a  delightful  trip. 

By  the  way,  Florence  is  helping  to 
round  up  our  group  for  the  reunion  June 
9.  We  hope  to  see  as  manjr  as  can  pos- 
sibly attend.  Remember  what  a  mar- 
velous time  we  had  five  years  ago.  In 
the  meantime,  drop  me  a  line  or  two  about 
what  you  are  doing  so  that  all  of  us  can 
be  up-to-date  when  we  get  together  in 
Lewisburg.

Dear   Classmates: 

What  a  grand  and  glorious  feeling  to 
be  able  to  start  this  chat  with  23  responses 


from  those  of  you  who  received  a  ques- 
tionnaire from  the  Alumni  Office!  I  almost 
feel  as  though  I've  hit  the  jackpot.  Since 
I  can't  possibly  include  all  of  your  an- 
swers this  time,  I'll  list  them  in  the  or- 
der in  which  they  were  postmarked.  So — 
please  be  patient.  Don't  let  that  keep  the 
rest  of  you  from  writing. 

The  first  note  came  from  Virginia  Scully 
White,  who,  with  her  husljand,  Jack,  has 
been  living  at  3944  Fourth  St.,  Riverside, 
Calif.,  for  the  past  ten  years.     She  writes 
that  she  and  her  husband   had   a  part  in 
starting  the  National  Square  Dance  Asso- 
ciation   six    years    ago,    having    held    the 
presidency,   jointly,    of   the    local    associa- 
tion  (40  clubs)    for  the  past   three  years. 
Riverside,   she   writes,  is   al)out   an   hour's 
drive  from  Los  Angeles  or  Palm  Springs. 
Then    came    word    from    William    Boben 
from  Wilkes-Barre,  who  is  chief  surgeon 
at  the  Wyoming  Valley  Flospital,  and  the 
proud   possessor   of   a  200-acre   island   off 
the   coast  of   Florida!      How  aljout   invit- 
ing us  to  hold  our  50th  Reunion  on  your 
island,  Bill?     If  they  gave  us  canes  to  use 
at  our  25th  Reunion  you'll  proliably  have 
to    supply    wheel    chairs!      Mary    Konkle 
Koopman  of  4435  Albermarle  St.,  N.  W., 
Washington,  D.  C,  is  the  mother  of  two 
daughters    and    the    wife    of   John    Koop- 
man.    Her  post  college  days,  she  writes, 
have    been    filled    with    family    and    civic 
duties.      Harold    Webber,    of    127    Spruce 
St.,    Lewisburg,   reports   that   both   of   his 
children    are    now    married.      How    soon 
can    we    call    you     "Grandpa"?       During 
these  intervening  years  he  has  kept  quite 
close   at   "home",   having  been   associated 
with  the  Penna.  R.  R.  and  Penna.  Depart- 
ment of  Highways,  and  is  now  serving  as 
personnel   director   and   purchasing   agent 
of   the   Lewisburg   Furniture    Co.      He   is 
also  actively  engaged  as  a  member  of  the 
General    Council   of   the    Evangelical    and 
Reformed     Church     Laymen's     Group. 
James    E.    Sugden,   formerly   of   Sunbury, 
has  recently  been  appointed   business   de- 
velopment manager  of  the   Penna.  Power 
&   Light   Co.,   Schuylkill   Division,   and   is 
now   living  in   Pottsville.     Betty   Lawson 
writes    that    although    she    gets    to    visit 
Bucknell   yearly   from   her   Illinois   home, 
it   is   in   the   summertime   due   to   the  fact 
that  since   1939  she  has  been  acting  dean 
of  women   of   Eastern   Illinois    State   Col- 
lege since  receiving  her  Ph.D.  from  New 
York    University.       Earl    Gill,    who     has 
been  living  with  his  family  in  Lewisburg 
since   1939  where  he  is  a  member  of  the 
high   school   faculty,   is   presently   serving 
as   the  president  of  the   Kiwanis   Club   in 
Lewisburg,     H.    Rae    Young,    who    lives 
with    his    family    at    4511     N.    Broad    St., 
Philadelphia,    writes   that   he    is    now   the 
owner  of  the   Central  Business   School  at 
323  Market  St.,   Harrisburg,  following  20 
years  spent  as  a  teacher  in   Pennsylvania 
classrooms.      Phoebe   Bloomfield    Lauder- 
baugh    and    Al    Lauderbaugh,    with    their 
son    Albert,    live    at    38    S.    Wade    Ave., 
Washington,     Penna.      Elizabeth     Sherer 
Budihas    of    524    Mahoning    St.,    Lehigh- 
ton,   has  been  teaching  Latin  in  the  high 
school   there  since  the  death   of  her  hus- 
band  five   years   go.     We   extend   to   you 
our  deepest  sympathy,   Betty,  at  the  loss 
of  your  husband.    Helen   McElravy   Buz- 
zell  is  living  at  203  N.  4th  St.,  Old  Town, 
Maine,   with   her    husband   and    daughter, 
Betty,   who   is   now   a   sophomore   at   the 
LTniversity    of    Maine.      Incidentally,    her 
husband    has    been    mayor   of    Old   Town 
and    has   served   on    the   governor's    staff. 
As     for     Helen,     household     duties,     Girl 
Scouts,  and  club  duties  have  kept  her  out 
of  mischief.     And   still  there's  news — but 
I'll  just  have  to  wait  until  the  next  issue  of 
the  ALLIMNUS  to  give  you  a  peep  at  it. 
I  doubt  whether  the  powers  that  be  will 
print  this  much,  but  just  send  along  the 

MARCPI  1050 


news,  nevertheless!  What  doesn't  get 
printed  Til  tell  you  about  at  our  30th  Re-

Class,  each  of  you,  please  do  answer 
on  the  self-addressed  card,  my  letter  sent 
to  you  on  January  19. 

I  am  waiting  for  some  news  from  you, 
Donald  C.  Lane  of  Branford.  Conn,  You 
promised  to  send  me  some  early  this  year 
of  195fi — remember? 

Samuel  Stern,  who  is  living  in  Morris- 
town,  X.  J.,  has  recently  been  elected  as 
director  of  the  Morris  Plains  Savings  & 
Loan  Association. 

It  is  with  deep  regret  that  we  report 
the  death  of  Mary  Rhodes  Cook,  wife  of 
Franklin  Cook.  Mrs.  Cook,  a  graduate  of 
Duke  University,  came  to  State  College 
from  her  home  in  Chattanooga,  Tenn. 
with  her  husband  who  is  an  associate 
professor  at  State  College.  She  was  em- 
ployed there  as  home  economics  librarian 
and  then  as  head  of  forestry  library.  She 
is  stjrvived  by  her  mother,  her  husband,  a 
sister,  a  brother,  and  one  son,  Franklin 
Rhodes  Cook,  to  all  of  whom  heartfelt 
sympathies  are  extended.

John  Mohr.  1208  W.  38th  St.,  Los  An-

missed  b^-  the  .Mumni  magazine  although 
not  by  Time,  Christian  Scinicc  Moiiilor,  iv>t 
Chicafin  Tribune  "Tommy  (T.  M.)  Little 
'31.  now  of  the  University  of  California, 
Riverside,  has  been  one  of  two  principal 
heroes  in  the  fight  for  academic  freedom 
at  U,  of  Xevada,  Keiin.  the  principal  issue 
being  the  right  of  the  faculty  I"  speak 
openly  in  defense  of  educational  standanls. 
,\  fragmentary  account  (certainly  not  giv- 
ing Tom  his  due)  was  contained  in  Rus- 
sell Kirk's  'Academic  Freedom',  Regncry, 
1955." 

John  al»o  raiftcx  a  pertinent  question  or 
so.  "Discussion  on  V.  S,  C.  Senate  Com- 
mittee   on    salaries    and    budget    raised    a 

.MAROI  l*l« 


question  in  my  mind  on  a  couple  of  mat- 
ters never  broached  in  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALUMNUS  —  What  are  current  salary 
scales  for  professors  at  Bucknell?  How 
is  the  Bucknell  Lhiiversity  Library  com- 
ing along?" 

From  my  good  friend,  Franklin  Bower 
in  Madison.  Conn,  comes  a  note  that  is 
very  encouraging  to  your  class  reporter — 
"Jan.  please  believe  me:  none  of  us  wants 
to  let  you  down.  AVe  just  get  busy  in 
the  day-to-day  routine:  and  then  too,  for 
many  of  us,  things  we  may  feel  worth 
reporting  never  happen  to  us.  Like  me, 
for  instance:  no  births,  no  deaths,  no  pro- 
motions, no  divorces,  no  marriages  in  the 
family.  I  was  back  for  the  day  of  Home- 
coming in  1954  and  was  proud  to  sec  how 
the  Alma  Mater  grows.  Saw  Joe^  Bell- 
meyer,  the  Cook  boys,  Sam  Bernstein  and 
a  couple  other  classmates.  Mrs.  Bower, 
our  two  girls  and  I  had  a  wonderful  trip 
to  Florida  in  October  and  that  was  e.xcit- 
ing.  Aside  from  that,  the  life  of  a  country 
parson  is  my  meat  and  drink."  Wish 
Franklin  were  my  parson — guess  he  is. 
He's   the   class's  parson! 

Ann  M.  Graybill  writes,  "My  father 
died  quite  unexpectedly  on  Nov.  13,  so  I 
am  spending  more  time  at  home  with  my 
mother  at  Clover-Nook,  Refton,  Penna. 
I  practically  connnute  to  Philadelphia 
where  I  am  still  working  as  Program 
Director  of  the  Christian  Association  at 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  at  3601 
Locust  Street.  Bucknellians  from  the 
Class  of  1933.  telephone  me  at  E^■f)-1S30." 

Loren  P.  Bly,  M.D.  of  Cuba,  N.  Y.  has 
a  son.  Loren  Lewis  Bly.  who  plans  to  be 
in  Bucknell  this  fall  and  a  dau.ghter  who 
her  father  hopes  will  be  there  in  19/0. 
He  concludes  "so  I  e.xpect  to  be  more  than 
casually  interested  in  Bucknell  for  a  num- 
ber of  years.  Best  wishes."  .\nd  best 
wishes  to  you.  Doc. 

Emily  Buck  Bell  reports  that  she  is  kept 
very  busy  l)y  four  active  children — ages 
from  11  to  \'/2  years.  "We  enjoy  living 
in  \'erniont  very  much  and  so  do  the 
children."

than  signed  Christmas  cards.  How  can

pertinent  information  if  only  to  let  me 
know  we're   still   a   "living  class." 

I  read  in  the  Long  Island  Press,  whose 
circulation  is  the  largest  in  the  metropoli- 
tan area,  that  Rev.  Richard  A.  Curnow, 
of  241-14  Memphis  Ave.  Rosedale  22. 
L.  I..  X.  Y..  had  been  responsible  for  tlie 
Brotherhood  and  Inter-faith  cooperation 
in  that  comnmnity.  lie  opened  liis  church 
to  the  Jewish  residents  there  and  with 
the  help  of  other  Protestant  clergy  the 
entire  community  is  now  working  to- 
gether with  new  residents  and  will  con- 
tinue to  do  so  after  they  get  their  pro- 
posed Temple.  What  a  good  neighbor 
he  must  be  and  he's  showing  the  Buck- 
nell spirit  as  well  as   his  Christian   spirit. 

.Vly  husband  met  and  chatted  with  John 
B.  Dempsey  at  the  January  .Mnnnii  nicii 
iiig  in  the  Chicago  ar<a.  Bill  reported 
that  Jack  Itjoks  wonderful  and  is  very 
busy,  as  is  his  wife  Anne  Culbertson 
iJempsey  '38  with  their  three  youngsters, 
Uyanne,  Claire  and  John.  Wish  1  could 
have  been  there  .  .  .  haven't  seen  the 
Dcmpseys  since  1949  at  our  15th  Reunion. 

Don't  forget  Alinnni  Weekend  in  June 
and  be  sure  to  give  to  the  Alumni  l-'iniil. 
{•'or  every  two  dollar.s  you  give,  ,VI  r,  Rush 
Kress  '00   will    give  an   additional   dollar. 


The  Ford  Foundation  and  the  Esso  Edu- 
cation Fund  will  certain!}'  be  more  im- 
pressed with  our  fine  Alma  A'later  if  the 
Alumni  Fund  keeps  growing.  Perhaps

more  willing  to  help  us  keep  our  Uni-

Dorothy  M.  Moody,  who  has  spent  the 
last  few  years  teaching  in  Bridgeton,  N.  J.,

This  past  year,  while  on  a  trip  to  Europe, 
Dorothy  attended  School  .Affiliation  Con- 
ference in  Jergenheim  au  der  Bergstrasse, 
Germany. 

We  were  so  sorry  to  hear  about  Mel 
and  Jane  LeMon's  (Jane  Orwig)  automo- 
bile accident  late  in  the  summer.  They 
were  returning  liome  from  visiting  Mel's 
family  in  LUah  when  their  car  was  struck 
and  completely  demolished.  Jane  and 
Mel  spent  almost  two  weeks  in  the  hos- 
pital. We  had  such  a  gay  time  with  Jane 
at  Reunion  and  the  beautiful  new  car  was 
such  a  help  during  that  rainy  week  end. 
We  certainly  were  sorry  to  hear  of  its 
untimely  demise. 

Marion  Root  Frank  and  Howard  '36 
have  bought  a  lovely  apartment  buildin.g 
in  Trenton.  They  moved  into  their  own 
apartment  during  Reunion  Week.    Marion

and  Peg-  Peters  (Peg  Weddell)  and  two 
darling  boys.  Marion  reports  that  they 
were  models  of  deportment,  but  a  bit 
difficult  to  understand.  We  hope  Peg 
and  her  family  are  back  home  after_  their 
long  sea  voyage  and  that  they  visit  the

Eleanor  Wermouth  Henry  is  working

Pennsylvania  these  days,  and  we  keep  in 
close  touch  so  send  her  news  if  you  can't 
remember  my  address.  She  often  sees 
Bucknellians   from  the   Philadelphia  area. 

I  certainly  would  appreciate  getting 
some  news  from  members  of  the  class — 
you  can't  be  entirely  snowed  in  for  the 
winter.  I  am  an  extremely  busy  person 
this  year  and  haven't  time  to  ferret  out 
the  news.  I  am  a  core  teacher  at  the  local 
Jr.  H.  S.  (Arundel),  attend  Johns  Hop- 
kins and  take  daughter  Diane  to  the 
Peabody  Conservatory  for  cello  lessons. 
Besides' that,  I  seem  to  have  acquired  the 
job  of  assistant  scout  leader  for  Diane's 
troop.  Besides  that,  I  cope  with  the  wild 
life  son  Joe  brings  home,  and  have  just 
gone  through  a  week  of  funerals  for  a 
puppy  and  "parakeet.  We  enjoy  country 
living,  but  find  ourselves  busier  than  ever. 
I  hope  one  of  your  New  Year's  resolutions 
stipulated  more  news  for  the  class  column, 
i  have  lost  my  vivid  imagination  and  re- 
fuse to  bore  "you  further  with  personal 
news  items.

portraits  of  her  children  and  wears  blue 
jeans  constantly.  (She  is  one  of  the  few 
I  know  who  can  even  get  into  them!)

Alberta  Rutgers  (Mrs.  Irving  Conover)

children.  Their  address  is  2233  Hanover

our  January  issue. 

Thank  goodness,  Walt  is  a  reader  of

soon  as  he  found  his  death  reported,  he 
wrote  us  as   follows: 

"In  the  January  issue  of  THE  BUCK-

Under  the  expert  guidance  of  our  Class 
President,  Charles  Kottcamp,  our  Reunion 
Chairman,  Howard  Clark,  and  our  Re- 
union Book  Editor,  Eric  Stewart,  plans 
are  taking  shape  rapidly  for  our  20th 
Reunion  in  June.  Alumni  Headquarters 
report  that  ours  was  the  first  of  the  re- 
union classes  to  supply  both  the  question- 
naire and  the  covering  letter  for  the  first 
mailing  of  the  1956  Reunion.  Eric  re- 
ports that  the  questionnaire  returns  are 
revealing  some  very  interesting  news  of 
our   class   members. 

Do  you  know  who  of  our  class  are  on 
T'V  every  week,  exhibit  paintings  in  many 
cities,  conduct  archaeological  studies  in 
the  Near  East,  and  who  is  a  rug  manu- 
facturer, using  machines  he  invented?  ?  ? 
These  and  many  other  interesting  facts 
will  be  found  in  the  '36  Reunion  Book.  If 
you  have  put  your  questionnaire  away, 
get  it  in  the  mail  today.     We  need  it. 

So  far,  the  questionnaire  received  from 
the  greatest  distance  was  from  Jane 
Phelan  Jett  from  Mill  Valley,  Calif.  Jane 
is  busy  helping  to  "build  our  nearly  com- 
pleted home  and  raise  a  family."  As  a 
Navy  officer's  wife,  she  is  happy  to  settle 
down  after  years  of  trekking  from  coast  to 
coast. 

Some  class  members  are  asking  about 
buying  a  Reunion  Book  if  they  cannot 
attend  the  Reunion.  The  book  will  be 
distributed  at  the  Reunion  in  June.  A 
few  copies  will  be  available  after  that  date. 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Walter  Pluto  (Irene 
Lewski)  announce  the  birth  of  their  sec- 
ond child,  Patrica,  born  Nov.  8,  1955. 
Their  daughter  Charlene  is  now  AVz  years

Thanks  are  due  to  Leonard  O.  Fried- 
man for  his  work  as  class  fund  manager 
for  our  group  during  the  past  few  years. 
You  may  have  noticed  that  the  fund  let- 
ter this  year  was  signed  by  Robert  E. 
Smith,  president  of  our  class.  We  are 
happy  to  announce  that  lieginning  July  1, 
the  duties  of  class  fund  manager  will  be 
performed  by  William  H.  Roberts,  1340

rally  to  support  our  class  effort  in  the 
Alumni  Fund.

Spring  will  be  just  about  to  appear  and 
the  "Hill"  will  be  covered  with  bluets  as 
this  bursts  upon  the  scene.  But  as  it  is 
compiled,  the  tag  ends  of  Christmas  are 
just  on  their  way  out. 

Christmas  brought  a  flurry. of  cards  and, 
as  a  result  of  the  practically  non-existent 
column  last  issue,  the  new  year  also  pro- 
duced some  news-bearing  mail. 

The  vice  president  of  the  Western 
Pennsylvania  Alumni  Club  is  Floyd  L. 
Arbogast. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Joseph  Diblin  and  son 
have  moved  from  Carlisle  to  Lewisburg. 
Joe  is  employed  by  Lycoming  Division 
of  A"\^CO  in  Williamsport  and,  at  present, 
the  family  is  making  its  home  with  Mrs. 
Diblin's  parents,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Charles 
Aumiller. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Samuel  S.  Fisher  had 
their  second  child.  Cherry  Lee,  November 
2,  1955. 

I  wish  we  could  reproduce,  the  clever 
Christmas  card — silhouettes  of  the  family 
featured — which  was  received  from  Les 
McDowell.  Les  spent  two  weeks  at  New- 
port this  past  summer,  but  the  Navy 
school  he  attended  was  "so  filled  with 
talkative  lawyers  that  (he)  turned  to  New- 
port's antiques,  and  spent  his  spare  time 
crawling  through  attics  and  cellars  of 
Newport's  old  houses."  He  still  belongs 
to    the    Chatham    Navy   unit   and   attends

The  William  Christians  (Helen  "Sandy" 
Sanders)  have  moved  to  61  Broad  St., 
Nanticoke. 

Bob  Stanton  took  time  to  dash  off  a 
welcome  letter  the  day  before  he  left  for 
New  York  City.  He  assumed  his  position 
there  as  general  manager  of  the  American 
Manufacturing  Co.  on  January  1.  He  has 
been  with  Jones  and  Laughlin,  Wire  Rope 
Division  plant  at  Muncy  since  1941.  He 
will  be  missed  in  that  community,  I  am 
sure,  as  he  was,  at  the  time  he  left,  a 
member  of  the  Muncy  Joint  School  Board, 
an  active  member  of  the  Muncy  Baptist 
Church  and  on  the  Board  of  Deacons,  di- 
rector of  the  Baptist  Sunday  Scliool  or- 
chestra, assistant  Sunday  School  superin- 
tendent, and  a  teacher  of  the  iiien's  class 
and  member  of  the  senior  choir.  Bob  is 
a  past  president  of  the  Muncy  Rotary 
Club.  He  is  also  a  leader  in  the  West 
Branch  Supervisor's  Club. 
Two  notes  of  sympathy: 

To  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Frederick  Green 
(Marion  Reynolds  '41),  whose  daughter, 
Ellen  Elizabeth,  4J4,  died  of  cancer  May 
17,  1955.    She  leaves  a  brother,  Richard,  8. 

The  death  of  Elizabeth  Talley  Decker 
'37,  wife  of  John  C.  Decker  '36,  on  August 
6,  1955,  of  bulbar  poliomyelitis,  was  espe- 
cially upsetting  personally,  as  the  three  of 
us  had  enjoyed  dinner  with  the  Deckers 
the  last  day  we  were  in  Pennsylvania.

Dr.  Robert  L.  Gatski,  acting  superin- 
tendent of  Danville  State  Hospital,  has 
developed  a  new  sleeping  pill  which,  it  is 
stated,  provides  a  refreshing  night's  slum- 
ber with  no  hangover.  E.xtensive  exper- 
iments indicate  that  the  sedative,  a  non- 
barbiturate,  has  an  almost  hypnotic  ef- 
fect, producing  in  15  or  20  minutes  natu- 
ral sleep  that  lasts  about  eight  hours. 

In  this  age  of  tension  and  taut  nerves 
with  resultant  recourse  to  barbiturates,

The  income  from  the  fund  established  by 
Dr.  Smith  will  be  awarded  annually  to  a  stu- 
dent who  meets  the  academic  requirements  of 
Bucknell  University  for  scholarship  awards, 
due  consideration  being  given  to  the  element 
of  need  in  each  case.  Although  not  required. 
Dr.  Smith  has  suggested  that  the  recipient  be 
a  major  in  the  field  of  English  language.

CONTEST  AFOOT 

Since  late  last  year  there  has  been 
an  important,  unheralded  race  go- 
ing on  between  the  Classes  of  1949 
and  1955.  In  each  class  a  number 
of  assistant  Class  Fund  managers 
have  agreed  to  contact  classmates 
on  liehalf  of  the  Bucknell  Alumni 
Fund  and  in  honor  of  their  respec- 
tive classes.  To  be  sure  this  snail's 
pace  may  develop  into  Swaps'  stride 
before  the  Fund  year  ends  on  June 
30 — but  in  the  Run  for  Bucknell's 
Alumni  Support,  the  early  distance 
gains  count  as  much  as  the  final 
tape  break.  Except  for  one  mark. 
Pennants  flown  at  Memorial  Sta- 
dium for  the  Homecoming  game 
October  20  with  Lafayette  will  dis- 
tinguish the  classes  which  excel  in 
number  of  participants,  total  con- 
tributions, and  percentage  of  parti- 
cipation. 

C'mon  '49!  Whoop  'er  up  '55! 
Where's  the  dark  horse,  maybe?

Langhorne,  Penna. 


The  news  response  from  '54  has  been 
wonderful!  It  has  been  so  wonderful  that 
almost  every  article  I  write  finds  itself  in 
the  upsettin,g  predicament  of  having  its 
end  lopped  ofif  when  printed — most  likely 
due  to  my  verbosity.  I  shall  thus  en- 
deavor to  be  a  true  reporter  in  this  issue 
and  give  you  just  the  facts  in  brief. 

The  most  recent  '54  marriages  include: 
Jo  Anthony  lo  John  Shepley  .Schofield  on 
iJec.  10.  1955;  John  Crossgrove  to  Alice 
Fowle  on  Dec,  3,  1955:  Beverly  Geake  lo 
Nickolas  F.  Muto  on  Dec.  17,  1955. 

The  new  daughters  to  the  '54  house- 
holds of:  Mr.  and  Mrs.  James  LeRoy 
Bevan;  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Paul  Andrus;  .Mr. 
and  .Mrs.  John  M.  Lashbrook  (Constance 
Corey),  and  -Mr.  and  .Mrs.  James  K.  I'igg 
(Carol  Colvin). 

Two  daiighlers  are  the  present  c<uml

Does  it  seem  possible  that  the  Class  of 
'55  is  now  numbered  among  those  reuning 
come  June  9?  At  the  risk  of  sounding- 
like  a  circus  barker  may  I  say  "Come  one, 
come  all!  See  for  yourself  the  changes  the 
first   year   has   wrought." 

Co-partners  in  a  venture  west,  Laura 
Davis  and  Sally  Haven  have  sent  word 
across  the  continent  that  they  are  living 
at  1589  Garfield  St.,  Denver  6,  Colo. 
Laura  is  teaching  English  in  Kepner  Jun- 
ior High  School,  and  Sally  is  with  Unit- 
ed Air   Lines. 

Cindy  Doremus  is  dividing  her  time 
three  ways:  husband,  Reed  Porter,  as  of 
November  26,  1955;  job,  a  training  assis- 
tant witli  L^nited  States  Rubber  Com- 
pany; Bucknell,  secretary  of  the  Long 
Island  Alumni  Club.  If  the  men  of  the 
advertising  profession  are  distinguished 
l)y  their  grey  flannel  suits,  what  ap])h'es 
to  the  women?  Anyway,  Lee  Carnow  has 
joined  the  ranks  with  Dickie-Raymond 
Inc.  She  and  her  husband,  Stan  Kramer, 
are  living  at  319  Broadway,  Somerville, 
Mass. 

There's  no  (|ueslion  as  to  who  are  the 
men  who  wear  khaki,  so  here  are  the 
Bucknellians  who  graduated  from  the 
transportation  officers  basic  course  at 
l''ort  i''ustis,  Va.,  Dec.  13,  with  following 
assignmcnls:  Roy  Gavert,  Rick  Johnson, 
Tom  Sprague,  Jeff  Williams,  .ill  oi'  l''iirl

Tom  King  has  ccmipleted  his  basic

operators  scIkkj!  at  l''ort  Jackscm,  S.  C. 
George  Klauder  is  in  (iuided  Missile 
School  at  l''ort  Hancock,  N.  J. 

Barb  Riegel  writes  from  San  Diego 
that  "the  Iiest  things  in  life  are  free"  since 
she  discovered  the  beauties  of  California. 
Though  when  not  taking  in  llic  view, 
she's  phniged  into  Ihe  ricld  of  pnlilic  wel-

Sipley  18  Adds  to  Library 
Collection 

The  Ellen  Clarke  Bertrand  Library  of 
Bucknell  University  was  the  recipient  re- 
cently of  the  bound  volumes  of  "Penn- 
sylvania Arts  and  Sciences,"  for  the  years 
1935  to  1940.  This  publication  of  The 
American  Museum  of  Photography  was 
edited  by  Dr.  Louis  Walton  Sipley  '18, 
MS  '20. 

These  additions  to  the  Bucknell  trea- 
sure room  are  of  particular  interest  to 
Alumni  because  they  carry  a  number  of 
pictures  of  the  Bucknell  campus  and  sev- 
eral writings  by  Bucknellians,  notably  an 
article  on  historic  covered  bridges  by  the 
late  Nelson  F.  Davis,  who  served  on 
Bucknell's  Faculty  for  many  years. 

The  University  appreciates  this  gift  of 
Dr.  Sipley,  a  valuable  addition  to  our 
collection  of  Bucknellians.

THE  HILDRETHS  SEE  A  KHEDA 


by   HORACE   A.    HILDRETH 


HILDRETH  ROAD 


Hildreth  Road  in  Pckislan  named  tot  U.  S.  Ambas- 
sador Horace  A.  Hildreth,  Bucknell  President  1949- 
53,  shown  here  with  daughter,  Katherine,  and  Mrs. 
Hildreth. 


Here  it  is  at  7:45  A.  M.  on  the  morning 
of  Februarj-  2nd  and  I  am  dictating  to  Dassy 
on  the  promenade  deck  of  a  150  foot 
houseboat  anchored  in  the  famous  Sun- 
derbans  river  forest  area.  I  might  say 
that  we  have  all  bathed  and  I  have  bathed 
and  shaved.  Beside  us  stand  three  motor 
tenders  and  a  couple  of  small  row  boats. 

On  board  this  houseboat  there  are  nine 
of  us.  all  -■Americans,  and  each  with  room 
and  bath  tended  by  a  Pakistani  crew. 
Katherine  and  I  have  a  magnificent  suite 
of  rooms  with  two  baths,  bedroom,  sit- 
ting room  and  dressing  room.  Since  I 
am  the  ranking  officer  I  have  designated 
myself  admiral. 

Today  the  nine  of  us  head  into  the 
forest,  which  twice  a  daj-  is  put  under 
water,  led  by  forestry  department  officials 
and  half  of  us  will  carry  shotguns  and 
half  rifles.  Those  carrj'ing  rifles  will  try 
to  shoot  crocodiles,  deer,  with  the  remote 
chance  of  spotting  a  tiger.  Though  the 
region  is  one  of  the  most  famous  in  the 
world  for  tigers,  they  are  very  difficult  to 
get.  Those  carrying  shotguns  will  look 
for  jungle  fowl  which  is  the  fowl  from 
which  our  domesticated  hens  originally 
came. 

Roughly  the  schedule  was  that  we 
would  start  out  on  tame  elephants,  three 
per  elephant  plus  mahoot  (the  driver) 
and  go  to  a  place  where  a  drive  would  be 
put  on  to  push  out  jungle  fowl  with  hopes 
of  a  deer  coming  by.  The  most  exciting 
event  occurred  when  an  elephant  herd  of 
thirteen  wild  elephants  paraded  by  one  of 
the  machans  when  the  fifty  to  seventy- 
five   native  beaters   started   hollering. 

.Vow  to  report  the  kheda  or  elephant 
roundup.  In  the  first  place  it  was  about 
a  twenty-mile  jeep  ride  right  into  the 
jungle  to  get  there.  .Several  times,  sev- 
eral of  the  probably  twenty  of  the  jeeps 
carrying  the  parly  with  the  soldiers  and 
bcarcr.s  fthc  soldier.s  for  security,  the 
bcarer<i  for  help)  got  stuck  but  wc  finally 
got  through.  The  elephants  had  already 
been  caolured  in  the  stockade  and  con- 
flicted ol  fourteen  elephants  including  one 
baby  elephant  about  three  weeks  old 
which  stfKjd  about  three  feet  fall.  'I'here 
were  alio  two  other  baby  elephants  or  at 
lea»l  young  elephants  who  stood  no  high- 
M A  r  I »5« 


er  than  a  man's  shoulder.  Then  there 
was  one  young  tusker  and  one  tuskless 
male  who  was  the  biggest  of  all.  By  the 
time  we  got  there  they  were  so  angry  at 
the  young  tusker  for  having  led  them 
into  the  stockade  that  they  had  trampled 
him  to  death  and  he  lay  there  in  the  mud 
With  the  other  elephants  tramping  over 
him. 

The  process  of  getting  the  elephants 
in  the  stockade  is  a  delicate  and  time- 
consuming  process.  What  happens  is  that 
scouts  are  sent  out  to  locate  the  herd  and 
then  the  scouts  report  which  direction  the 
herd  seems  to  be  going.  When  the  scouts 
report,  a  large  crew  of  men  builds  a 
circular  stockade  with  a  huge  gate  and 
entrance  of  the  stockade.  The  stockade, 
of  course,  is  built  right  on  an  elephant 
trail.  When  the  stockade  is  built  the 
scouts  go  out  and  gently  start  tapping 
trees  so  as  to  move  the  herd  in  the  di- 
rection of  the  stockade.  This  has  to  be 
done  with  a  nice  sense  of  urgency  without 
haste.  By  the  time  the  herd  gets  to  where 
the  stockade  is,  the  wings  have  all  been 
camouflaged  like  the  wings  on  a  stage  set 
so  that  as  the  wings  narrow  down  there 
appears  to  be  only  one  opening  which  is 
into  the  camouflaged  stockade  door  into 
the  stockade.  Wild  elephants  are  not 
used  to  pulling  but  only  to  pushing. 
Hence  the  stockade,  which  is  perhaps 
twenty  feet  is  buttressed  on  the  outside 
but  if  the  elephants  were  smart  enough  to 
pull  they  could  pull  the  logs  right  in  on 
them  and  collapse  the  stockade.  At  the 
end  of  the  drive,  when  the  elephants 
hesitate  to  go  into  the  narrow  walls,  the 
drivers  explode  bombs  and  build  fires  be- 
hind them  so  to  discourage  them  from 
turning  around.  After  the  gate  closes 
behind  the  elephants,  they  are  weakened 
for  at  least  twenty-four  hours  by  being 
given  no  food  or  water.  Meanwhile,  al- 
most like  human  beings,  they  fight  each 
other    in    their   anger   at    being   caught. 

After  being  weakened  the  e.xtraction  of 


a  wild  elephant  from  the  captured  group 
occurs  and  then  he  is  noosed.  This  was 
very  exciting.  By  this  time,  outside  the 
gate  an  additional  corral  has  been  built 
with  a  second  gate.  This  corral  is  big 
enough  for  eight  or  ten  elephants.  Now 
the  biggest  tame  elephant  available  who 
is  supported  by  several  other  tame  ele- 
phants, is  put  in  the  little  corral  facing 
the  gate.  The  theory  is  when  the  gate 
is  li.ted,  he  will  stop  the  wild  elephants 
from  rushing  out  and  will  go  in  and  bat 
them  around  a  bit  in  their  weakened  con- 
dition. Then  when  he  has  them  sufficient- 
ly cowed,  the  tame  one  is  supposed  to  let 
one  of  the  wild  elephants  slip  by  through 
the  gate  into  the  corral  where  he  will  be 
surrounded  by  tame  elephants  and  the 
attempt  made  to  hobble  his  hind  legs  and 
get  a  noose  over  his  neck.  This  time  we 
were  treated  to  a  very  thrilling  sight 
because  the  whole  wild  herd  stampeded 
together  out  the  corral.  The  drivers  on 
the  tame  elephants  became  frightened  and 
scurried  up  onto  the  rungs  of  the  wall  but 
a  couple  of  the  mahoots  on  the  tame 
elephants  stuck  to  their  job  and  jabbed 
away  desperately  with  their  spears.  The 
pressure  of  the  elephants  was  terrific  and 
everyone  expected  the  walls  of  the  corra! 
to  give  way  and  the  wild  elephants  to 
break  loose  with  possible  loss  of  life  and 
injury  to  some  of  the  people,  and  in  any 
event,   weeks   of  work   lost. 

Finally  the  order  was  given  to  fire  at 
the  elephants  and  the  wild  elephants  were 
shot  in  the  forehead  with  number  four 
shotgun.  Beyond  the  gate  of  the  corral 
was  another  tame  elephant  who  was  sup- 
posed to  frighten  the  wild  ones  away, 
.^t  last  they  got  one  of  the  wild  ele- 
phants turned  around  and  headed  back 
into  the  stockade  with  spear  jabbing  and 
shooting  and  the  rest  of  them  followed, 
and  then  fortunately  the  tuskless  male 
ducked  back  into  the  corral  and  the  gate 
was  shut.

ALUMNI  AWARD  PROGRAM  MAY  BE  EXTENDED 

For  several  years  the  Board  of  Directors  of  The  General  Alumni  Association 
and  several  committees  of  the  board  have  been  considering  plans  to  extend  the 
alumni  award  program  which  was  adopted  in  June,  1951. 

The  original  award,  adopted  in  1951,^  was  given  in  recognition  of  "dis- 
tinguished service  to  Bucknell  University." 

Thus,  Alumni  in  only  one  category— those  perform hig  distinguished  service 
to  the  University— could  be  honored  through  an  alumni  award.  It  was  felt  that 
the  program  should  be  expanded  to  include  awards  for  service  m  at  least  two 
other  categories,  namely : 

(a)  Meritorious  achievement  in  the  fields  of  industry,  busi- 
ness, commerce,  government,  education,  or  in  the 
profession  in  which  the  candidate  is  engaged. 

(b)  Recognized  contributions  and  service  to  fellow  men 
through  .such  media  as  religion,  charity,  art,  science, 
or  public  welfare. 

A  committee  headed  by  Clair  G.  Spangler  and  including  P.  Herbert  Watson 
and  Allen  A.  Rarig  made  a  study  of  the  practice  of  making  alumni  awards  at  37 
colleges  and  universities.  After  studying  this  report,  the  board  of  directors 
asked  a  committee  of  John  F.  Worth,  chairman,  Mrs,  Florence  U.  Focht  and 
Wilmer  D.  Gruelich  to  draw  up  by-law  revisions  covering  the  extension  of 
alumni  awards.  This  committee'  submitted  its  report  to  the  board  of  directors 
on  November  4,  1955,  and  after  study  by  the  board  instructions  were  given  the 
Alumni  secretary  to  prepare  the  final  draft  for  publication  in  THE  BUCK- 
NELL  ALUMNUS  and  for  consideration  of  the  delegates  at  the  Annual  Assem- 
bly of  The  General  Alumni  Association  on  Saturday,  June  9,  1956. 

Since  adoption  or  rejection  of  these  changes  in  the  by-laws  must  be  voted 
upon  by  the  delegates  to  the  Annual  Assembly  in  June,  it  is  important  that  the 
delegates  who  represent  the  65  Bucknell  Alumni  Clubs  be  instructed  by  the 
clubs  themselves. 

Consequently,  individual  alumni,  it  is  hoped,  will  take  the  opportunity  to 
study  the  revisions  printed  and  express  an  opinion  through  his  or  her  local 
Alumni  Club. 

The  proposed  revisions  along  with  the  present  by-law  regulations  are 
printed  side  by  side  in  the  following  columns  to  make  it  convenient  to  compare 
the  present  regulations  with  the  proposed  revision.

The  President's  Annual  Report 

"The  Report  of  the  President  for  the 
Academic  Year  1954-1955"  is  a  32-page 
booklet  recently  published  by  Dr.  Merle 
M.  Odgers  for  the  Board  of  Trustees. 
It  will  be  of  interest  to  many  Bucknellians. 

The  publication  of  the  report  at  this 
time  represents  a  departure  from  admin- 
istrative tradition,  but  Dr.  Odgers  states 
that  it  seems  wise  to  share  with  the  great 
number  of  Bucknell's  friends  an  account 
of  our  recent  progress  and  aspirations  for 
the  future.  The  report  does  not  attempt 
comprehensive  coverage  of  the  many-sided 
life  of  the  University,  but  it  does  point  up 
the  board  of  trustees;  the  faculty;  the  new 
administration  organizational  setup;  fu- 
ture enrollment;  student  life;  the  Univer- 
sity plant;  engineering  education;  the 
placement  bureau;  the  summer  school;  the 
library;  athletics;  public  relations;  agenda; 
the   Bucknell  study;   and   allied   activities. 

In  outlining  the  needs  of  the  future,  Dr. 
Odgers  lists  among  Bucknell's  assets  its 
alumni  body  of  more  than  17,000  scattered 
throughout  the  world,  and  engaged  in 
many  businesses,  trades  and  professions. 
He  refers  to  the  contributions  they  have 
made  to  the  University  through  the  Alum- 
ni Annual  Giving  program. 

A  committee  of  the  trustees,  recently 
appointed  to  study  plans  for  development 
and  fund  raising,  have  set  up  immediate 
objectives  as:  a  chapel-auditorium,  addi- 
tional endowment  for  faculty  salaries,  the 
front  unit  of  Davis  Gymnasium,  a  social 
science  building,  a  women's  dormitory,  not 
necessarily  in  that  order. 

Improvements  not  in  the  foregoing 
group,  which  will  find  place  in  a  long- 
range  development  plan,  include,  among 
others,  the  addition  of  a  wing  completing 
the  Vaughan  Literature  Building,  a  stu- 
dent union,  club  rooms  for  faculty  mem- 
bers, the  remodeling  of  East  College  and 
West  College,  a  second  dormitory  unit 
for  freshman  men. 

The  vision  of  Bucknell's  future  has  been 
referred  to  as  "a  ten-million  dollar  plan." 
Dr.  Odgers  closes  his  report  with  the 
thought  that  the  achievements  of  the  last 
ten  years  augur  well  for  its  fulfillment. 

A  limited  number  of  the  reports  are 
available  for  Alumni  on  a  first  come,  first 
served  basis.  If  you  desire  one,  please 
write  to  Miss  Trennie  E,  Eisley,  Director 
of  Public  Relations,  Bucknell  University, 
Lewisburg,  Pennsylvania 


Plan  Freedom  in  America 
Competition  At  Bucknell 

Two  Freedom  in  American  contests  will 
be  held  at  Bucknell,  according  to  Rear  Adm. 
Ernest  M.  Eller,  U.  S.  N.,  retired,  director 
of  engineering. 

The  first  contest  was  scheduled  for  this 
semester  and  ended  May  1.  A  first  prize  of 
$100  and  a  second  prize  of  $50  were  given 
the  students  who  submitted  the  best  and 
second  best  papers  dealing  with  some  aspect 
of  the  origins  of  American  liberty.  Each 
paper  submitted  in  the  contest  was  required 
to  consist  of  a  minimum  of  2,500  words. 

In  1956-57,  a  first  prize  of  $200  and  a 
second  prize  of  $100  will  be  given  those  stu- 
dents who  submit  the  best  and  the  second 
best  papers  dealing  with  the  efi^ects  upon 
American  life  of  the  liberties  that  Americans 
enjoy.  Each  paper  must  be  submitted  before 
May  1,  1957,  and  must  contain  a  minimum 
of  5,000  words. 

All  papers  submitted  were  judged  by  a 
committee  of  three  persons  appointed  by 
Dr.   Odgers.

ALUMNI  WEEKEND 


June  9  already  should  be  marked  on  your 
calendar  for  your  annual  trip  to  the  Bucknell 
campus.  This  reminder  is  desired  to  fill  in 
the  details  of  the  Reunion  ^^'eekend.  urge 
you  to  begin  planning  the  trip,  and  contact- 
ing your  favorite  classmates.  Write,  wire 
or  phone  them  now  so  that  your  class  and 
family  reunion  in  Lewisburg  will  be  com- 
plete. 

Alumni  Class  Reunion  parties  are  concen- 
trated on  Saturday.  June  9.  but  the  entire 
weekend  will  be  filled  with  activities  that 
have  been  planned  by  energetic  reunion  com- 
mittees in  each  of  the  reunion  classes. 

The  Emeritus  Club  group  which  includes 
all  classes  that  have  celebrated  50  or  more 
years  since  graduation,  gathers  on  the  cam- 
pus everj'  year  and  this  j'ear  is  planning  a 
special  welcoming  ceremony  to  induct  its 
newest  members,  the  Class  of  1906,  into  the 
Emeritus   Club. 

Other  classes  holding  regular  5-year  re- 
unions include  the  Class  of  1906  (Golden 
Anniversary-),  the  Class  of  1911,  the  Class 
of  1916,  the  Class  of  1921.  the  Class  of  1926, 
the  Class  of  1931  (Silver  Anniversary), 
Class  of  1936.  Class  of  1941,  Class  of  1946, 
Class  of  1951,  and  the  first  reunion  of  the 
Class  of  1955.  The  Class  of  1956,  our  young- 
est alumni  group,  will  also  share  in  the 
reunion  celebration. 

The  Perennials  Will  Be  Here 

But  no  matter  what  class  you  graduated 
with.  Alumni  Reunion  Day  provides  festivi- 
ties for  all  Alumni  of  non-reuning  classes  as 
well.  The  growing  number  of  perennials 
who  come  back  every  year  will  find  many 
interesting  and  enjoj-able  programs.  Officers 
of  next  year  reunion  classes  (those  whose 
numerals  end  in  "2"  and  "7")  are  especially 
invited  to  be  on  campus  for  Alumni  Weekend 
this  year  to  observe  the  program  in  action 
and  thus  be  in  a  better  position  to  plan  for 
their  own  reunion  in  June,  1957. 

New  Dorm  Open 

One  of  the  highlights  of  the  Reunion 
Weekend  will  be  the  use  of  the  new  James 
S.  Swartz  Hall  for  housing  visitors.  This 
year  it  will  be  possible  to  assign  each  re- 
uning  class  to  a  specific  floor  in  the  dormi- 
tories. Housing  the  whole  class  together 
will  add  immeasurably  to  the  fun  of  the 
reunion.  Furthermore,  through  the  registry 
to  be  maintained  at  the  registration  desks, 
it  will  be  [(ossible  to  learn  the  whereabouts 
of  each  Alumnus  assigned  to  dormitories  on 
the  hill.  For  this  reason  it  is  essential  that 
everyone  stop  at  the  Carnegie  Library 
lounge  (old  library  building)  to  register  as 
soon  as  they  rc-ach  the  campus. 

Welcome  Back  Party 

The  Bison,  next  to  the  old  .Sigma  Chi 
House,  now  .Seventh  .Street  House,  will  be 
o|icn  Friflay  night  for  the  convenience  of 
rlas^matcs  arriving  before  the  Saturday  ses- 
sions begin.  This  favorite  eating  place  of 
undergraduates  will  Ijc  turned  over  to  Alum- 
ni for  the  evening.  It's  the  ideal  spot  to 
meet  the  early  arrivals.  No  formal  party 
program  is  planned — just  a  good  place  to 
m«'t  the  gang  and  to  continue  the  bull  ses- 
Mioiis  of  20  or  30  ytiir<   afro. 

The  Program  of  Activities 

A  Klancc  at  the  full  schedule  included  in

hmm  THE  GLUI 


BELLEFONTE-DUBOIS— Bucknellians 

in  Centre  and  Clearfield  Counties  cele- 
brated the  110th  anniversary  of  the  grant- 
ing of  Bucknell's  charter  at  a  dinner  held 
in  the  Philips  Hotel,  Philipsburg,  on  Feb- 
ruary 16. 

William  G.  Jones  '29,  president  of  the 
Bellefonte  Club  was  in  charge  of  the  meet- 
ing. After  a  delicious  dinner,  John  H.  Shott, 
Alumni  secretary,  spoke  to  the  group  on 
"The  Lass  Look."  A  door  prize  was 
awarded  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ralph  E.  Beahm 
MA  '48,  Aaronsburg,  for  having  travelled 
the  greatest  distance  to  attend  the  meet- 
ing. 

Plans  for  a  summer  picnic  to  entertain 
freshman  students  and  their  parents  were 
discussed. 

BUCKNELL  BAPTISTS  IN  SEAT- 
TLE— Bucknell  Baptist  ministers  and  their 
friends  as  well  as  Bucknell  Alumni  resid- 
ing in  the  Seattle  area  are  cordially  invit- 
ed to  attend  a  luncheon  to  be  held  during 
the  American  Baptist  Convention  on 
Thursday.  June  21,  in  the  Gold  Room  of 
the  Hotel  Edmund  Meany.  East  45th  and

eon must  be  bought  24  hours  before  the

Plans  are  being  made  to  have  a  campus 
representative  attend  the  luncheon.  It  is 
hoped  that  Bucknell  Alumni  permanently 
situated  in  Seattle  will  avail  themselves  of 
this  opportunity  of  meeting  with  the  Buck- 
nell Baptist  visitors  who  will  be  converg- 
ing on  Seattle  from  all  directions  during 
the  convention  scheduled  from  June  15 
to  22. 

NORTHERN    CALIFORNIA   —   The 

Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of  California- 
Northern,  held  a  Birthday  Dinner  in  hon- 
or of  the  University  at  the  Coit-Ramsey 
Hotel,  Oakland,  on  February  7.  Thirty- 
one  persons  attended  and  enjoyed  a  good 
dinner,  interspersed  by  Bucknell  songs 
played  by  Janet  (Caul)  Ferreira  '52,  and 
sung  by  the  assembled  Bucknellians. 

After  dinner,  Harry  H.  Pierson  '28,  was 
introduced  by  the  toastmaster  and  de  fac- 
to president  of  the  club,  Harry  Hartzell 
'08,  and  gave  a  talk  on  the  events  leading 
up  to  the  foundation  of  Bucknell  and  to 
the  changing  of  the  name  of  the  institu- 
tion from  that  of  "The  University  at  Lew- 
isburg."  George  Mattis  told  a  Pennsyl- 
vania Dutch  joke. 

There  was  discussion  of  the  problem 
of  finding  agreement  on  the  meeting  dates 
and  site.  It  was  finally  voted  by  a  large 
majority  that  the  club  hold  quarterly 
dinners,  alternating  between  Oakland  and 
San  Francisco  (or  between  the  East  Bay 
and  San  Francisco-Peninsula  area).  The 
next  meeting  will  be  a  picnic  at  the  coun- 
try home  of  the  Hartzells, 

This  decision  was  made  in  the  belief 
that  quarterly  dinners  would  attract  many 
more  people,  as  this  one  did,  than  would 
monthly  luncheons.

CHAMBERSBURG— The  Alumni  Club 
of  the  South-Central  District  of  Pennsyl- 
vania gathered  at  a  dinner  meeting  at  Col- 
lege Inn,  Chambersburg,  on  Feb.  23  to 
celebrate  our  alma  mater's  birthday. 
Twenty  alumni  and  friends  were  present 
to  hear  Dr.  C.  Herschel  Jones  of  the  po- 
litical  science  department  speak. 

Dr.  Jones  brought  us  up-to-date  on  the 
changes  in  the  physical  appearance  of  the 
campus,  student  and  faculty  changes  and 
educational  programs  and  advances  at 
Bucknell. 

New  officers  were  elected  as  follows: 
6 


president,  Sara  Louise  Slaughenhaup 
Madison  '41;  vice  president,  Dr.  Lois 
Henneberger  '43;  treasurer,  Daniel  Da- 
vis '22;  secretary,  Dorothy  Blix  Memin- 
ger  '38. 

A  social  hour  preceded  the  dinner  and 
meeting.  Everyone  spent  a  very  enjoy- 
able evening  and  the  one  regret  was  that 
more  alumni  of  the  district  were  unable 
to  attend. 

Dorothy  Blix  Meminger  '38,  Secretary 

CHICAGO— The  Chicago  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation had  the  pleasure  of  meeting  Mr.

O.  Carlisle,  our  co-presidents,  held  an  in- 
formal gathering  at  their  home  in  La-

hosts  and  making  new  acquaintances.

HARRISBURG  — Thirty-eight  Bucknel- 
lians and  friends  attended  the  regular 
monthly  dinner  meeting  of  the  Bucknell 
Alumni  Association  of  Harrisburg  on 
Thursday,  March  1,  at  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
The  meeting  was  opened  with  the  invoca- 
tion by  Rev.  Bennett. 

The  secretary's  minutes  of  the  previous 
meeting  were  read  and  approved.  The 
treasurer  reported  a  balance  of  $35.10  in 
the   treasurey. 

Bruce  Butt  reported  on  the  current  news 
of  Bucknell  Alumni.  Bruce  also  intro- 
duced our  visitors,  Mrs.  Weston  and  her 
two  daughters  from  New  Bloomfield. 

The  president  then  turned  the  meeting 
over  to  Bill  Focht,  our  program  chair- 
man for  the  evening.  Bill  introduced  our 
speaker,  Mr.  Amos  Snyder,  of  the  Dau- 
phin National  Bank.  Mr.  Snyder  dis- 
cussed for  us  the  timely  subject  of  "Fly- 
ing Saucers."  The  discussion  proved  to  be 
both  enlightening  and  most  interesting. 
Following  Mr.  Snyder's  presentation, 
questions  were  raised  by  members  of  the 
club  and  were  skillfully  answered  by  our 
speaker. 

The  meeting  was  adjourned  following 
the  discussion  period.

Bucknellians    and    friends    were    present. 

John  H.  Shott,  Alumni  secretary,  was 
guest  of  honor  and  speaker,  his  topic, 
"The  Lass  Look,"  spotlighted  four  of  the 
principal  problems  on  American  campus- 
es today  and  related  each  of  them  partic- 
ularly to  the  Bucknell  campus.  Mr.  Shott 
also  showed  some  beautiful  colored  pic- 
tures of  the  campus  and  Alumni  activities 
on  the  campus.

PROVIDENCE — Bright  sunshine,  a 
lovely  home  and  a  beautiful  view  of  Nar- 
ragansett  Bay  provided  the  backdrop  for 
our  Providence  Area  Alumni  Club  birth- 
day party  on  Feb.  5.  Sue  Cady  '55  and  her 
parents  opened  their  lovely  home  to  us 
for  the  110th  birthday  celebration  of  our 
Alma  Mater. 

We  were  happy  to  see  two  new  faces 
in  our  group,  Robert  deGrott  '52  and  his 
wife  Nancy.  They  are  now  living  in  Gro- 
ton.  Conn. 

After  an  hour  or  so  of  chatting  about 
Bucknell  and  watching  the  interesting 
scenes  provided  by  the  vast  expanse  of  the 
bay,  the  birthday  cake  was  cut  and  ice 
cream  and  coffee  were  served. 

The  club  decided  to  hold  its  annual  pic- 
nic this  summer  and  John  Wilbur  '48 
again  invited  us  aboard  his  cabin  cruiser 
for  a  ride  on  the  bay.  With  this  to  look 
forward  to  our  picnic  should  be  a  great 
success. 

June  Stott  Matthews  '47,  Secretary 

READING — The  Reading  Alumni  Club 
embarked  on  a  new  way  of  celebrating  the 
birthday  of  our  dear  old  Alma  Mater.  Af- 
ter due  consideration,  we  decided  to  dis- 
pense with  any  club  business  at  the  Birth- 
day Party  and  hold  a  purely  social  Din- 
ner-Dance on  February  18  at  the  Wyo- 
missing  Club  in  Reading  from  7  p.  m.  to 
1   a.  m. 

I  am  delighted  to  report  that  our  Din- 
ner-Dance was  a  tremendous  success.  The 
true  "college  spirit"  prevailed  as  one  hun- 
dred and  nine  Alumni  and  guests  dined 
and  danced  under  the  huge  Bucknell  ban- 
ner which  was  used  as  the  center  of  dec- 
orations. Wes  Fisher's  Trio  provided  the 
music   for  dancing,   and   all  Alumni  were

I  speak  for  everyone  present  when  I  say, 
"A  grand  time  was  had  by  all."  In  fact, 
all  who  were  present  are  already  looking 
forward  to  our  next  Bucknell  Birthda}-

Football  Cocch  Harry  Lawrence  wonders  just  exactly  what  he  has  done  to  bring  on  the  wrath  of 
the  weatherman.  Bucknell  completed  its  1955  grid  season,  in  a  blizzard,  against  Delaware  last  Nov.  19 
and — lo  and  behold — when  1956  spring  practice  time  rolled  around  on  March  16,  snow  was  again  on 
hand  to  greet  Lawrence  and  his  charges.  Pictured  above  (left  to  rioht)  are  quarterbacks  Jim  Stewart, 
of  Wayne,  Pa.,  and  Terry  Fetterman,  of  East  Greenville,  Pa.,  who  indicated  to  line  Coach  Bill  Wrabley 
that  it  was  time  for  snowballs,  not  footballs. 


Football 


Spring  Sports 


In  late  March,  when  the  Bucknell  soccer 
field  finally  removed  itself  from  the  quag- 
mire classification  and  once  more  allowed 
cleated  brogans  to  trot  hither  and  yon  with- 
out need  of  water  wings,  Harry  Lawrence 
and  his  eager  Bison  gridiron  candidates  got 
busy  with  spring  football  practice. 

A  good  time  was  had  by  all,  and  especially 
by  Lawrence,  a  gentleman  who  had  little  to 
be  jolly  about  during  the  major  part  of  the 
1955  pigskin  campaign. 

In  the  backfield,  where  triple-threat  vet- 
eran quarterback  Jimmy  Stewart  will  be 
the  pivotal  character,  Lawrence  will  work 
with  a  predominantly  junior  cast.  Senior 
Stewart,  a  regular  for  the  past  two  seasons, 
will  handle  the  kicking  and  passing  and 
should  provide  a  steadying  influence.  Junior 
Terry  Fetterman  is  in  reserve. 

At  the  fullback  post,  senior  Don  Koppes 
should  be  a  more  than  adequate  replacement 
for  the  graduating  Bob  (Thunderbird)  Ford. 
The  Basking  Ridge,  N.  J.  lad  was  the  No. 
2  Bison  ball-carrier  a  year  ago,  despite  the 
fact  that  he  saw  action  as  Ford's  substitute. 
He  has  good  speed.  Transfer  student  Ted 
DuPuy,  a  much-talked-of  performer,  will 
keep  Koppes  on  his  toes. 

A  number  of  good  junior  speedsters 
should  take  up  the  slack  felt  by  the  loss  of 
Bob  Sierer  and  Dick  McCartney  at  the 
halfback  slots.  Bob  Fitzsimmons,  Jackie 
Brothers  and  Chuck  Wagner  all  move  well 
to  the  outside  and  Fitzsimmons,  a  180- 
pounder,  hits  the  line  with  the  best.  Wag- 
ner, injured  a  great  deal  last  fall,  has  run 
the  100-yard  dash  in  9-8  seconds.  Brothers, 
a  little  guy,  is  probably  the  most  illusive  of 
the  backfield  candidates. 

Bob  Hershock,  another  pile-driver,  is 
available  at  halfback  and  Lawrence  hopes 
that  Bill  Ross,  a  '54  letternian  who  the 
coach  calls  a  "natural  athlete,"  will  also  be 
free  for   duty. 

On  the  whole,  the  Bison  team  should  be 
an  experienced  one.  Besides  the  12  return- 
ing lettermen,  Lawrence  also  has  11  addi- 
tional fellows  who  saw  service  with  the 
varsity  squad  a  year  ago.  Ten  or  more 
sophomores  should  round  out  a  well-bal- 
anced grid  array  qute  unlike  the  '55  combo 
that  opened  its  campaign  with  a  dearth  of 
e.xperienced  performers  and  a  lack  of  bal- 
ance.

tlucknell's  four  spring  sports  entries — 
baseball,  tennis,  golf  and  track — lifted  the 
lid  on  their  1956  seasons  in  .\pril  without 
benefit  of  extended  practice  of  the  outdoor 
nature.  Weather  is  always  a  stumbling 
block  for  the  four  squads  concerned,  but  this 
spring's  March  snowstorms  and  their  after- 
maths, made  things  particularly  rough  for 
the  Bi.son  athletes. 

BASEBALL 

Bill  Lane,  who  began  his  11th  term  as 
Bucknell  diamond  leader,  used  an  all-veteran 
combination  in  early  contests  since  he  had 
little  opportunity  to  examine  his  newcomers 
in  near-game  conditions  prior  to  the  April 
7  opener  with  Dickinson. 

Don  Richards,  the  hard-throwing  lefty 
who  will  be  the  key  to  Bucknell  success 
throughout  the  campaign,  had  hefty  team 
captain  Rich  McFarland  as  his  battery-mate, 
and  juniors  Chuck  Sneath  and  Bill  Burns 
and  senior  Don  Wain  made  up  the  outfield. 
.■\n  all-senior  infield  was  made  up  of  Bob 
Whitehead  on  first,  Bruce  Workman  at  sec- 
ond, Jim  Hummel  at  third  and  Gene  Zart- 
man  as  short-stop. 

The  pre-season  hurling  eftorts  of  junior 
gridder  Paul  Manning  had  impressed  Lane 
and  the  big  righthander  could  claim  the  No. 
2  spot  on  the  pitching  staff.  Shortstop

sation, had  earned  the  No.  1  spot  on  the 
tennis  squad  as  Hank  Peters  led  his  netmen 
into  a  19-game  slate,  also  against  Dickinson. 
The  coach,  with  only  three  other  lettermen 
available,  was  in  hopes  that  vet  Jim  Stewart 
would  be  ready  to  step  in  quickly  after  the 
close  of  football  practice. 

Peters'  pre-season  seedings,  excluding  Mr. 
Stewart,  had  Pulizzi  in  the  top  spot,  fol- 
lowed by  soph  Chuck  Siede,  junior  John 
Fincke,  captain  and  senior  Al  Christenson 
and  junior  Ben  Hollander.  Senior  Roger 
Schwartz  and  sophomore  Bill  Scott  were 
battling  for  the  final  spot. 

In  the  doubles  category,  Peters  opened 
with  Pulizzi  and  Siede,  Fincke  and  Christen- 
son and  Hollander  and  Schwartz. 

GOLF 

Harold  Evans'  golfers  were  probably  in- 
jured the  most  by  the  inclement  weather, 
since  indoor  golf  drills  were  out  of  the 
question.  The  Bucknell  coach  encouraged 
his  charges  to  get  to  the  links  as  often  as 
possible  during  the  one-week  Easter  vaca- 
tion, since  the  University  Golf  Course  was 
not  playable  in  March. 

At  the  season's  outset,  Evans  lined  up  his 
team  behind  four  veterans — captain  Don 
.\lbee.  Bob  Miller,  Andy  Horvat  and  Dave 
Doane — and  was  hopeful  that  three  new- 
comers— junior  Stan  Jackson  and  Bill  Wal- 
liser  and  soph  Ken  Bensen — and  1954  letter- 
man  George  Damnian  would  round  out  an 
adequate  array. 

TRACK 

Only  the  thinclads  could  sit  back  and 
relax  during  the  snowy,  rainy  month  of 
March.  A  late — April  opening  date  allowed 
Coach  Bus  Blum  to  bring  his  candidates 
along  slowly  and  at  press  time  the  April  21 
curtain-raiser  was  still  a  thing  of  the  future. 

The  Bison  goal  was,  of  course,  to  extend 
the  seven-match  victory  skein  that  began  in 
1954  and  ran  through  the  undefeated  1955 
season.  Blum  indicated  that  a  number  of 
squad  positions  had  to  be  filled,  but  hoped 
that  some  of  his  veteran  performers,  such  as 
sprinter  and  captain  Ed  Burg  and  miler  Art 
Saunders  would  be  able  to  carry  the  team 
during  the  early  portion  of  the  campaign. 


New  Swimming  Coach 

Robert  .A..  Latour,  former  Albany  ( N.  Y.) 
Academy  swimming  coach  and  a  graduate 
of  Ohio  Wesleyan  University  and  Spring- 
field College,  has  been  named  as  Bucknell's 
new  swimming  coach.  Athletic  Director  Al- 
bert  E.   Humphreys   announced  recently. 

The  30-year-old  former  prep  school  coach 
will  begin  his  duties  at  Bucknell  in  Septem- 
ber. Humphreys  stated  that  Latour  will  be  a 
member  of  the  physical  education  stafi  and 
also  will  assist  with  freshman  football. 

Latour  received  an  A.B.  degree  from  Ohio 
Wesleyan  in  1949  and  an  M.A.  from  Spring- 
field last  June.  Both  degrees  are  in  physical 
education.  He  is  married  and  an  army 
veteran. 

The  new  Bucknellian  was  teacher  and 
swim  coach  at  Albany  Academy  from  1950 
through  1954.  He  turned  out  four  successive 
New  York  State  prep  school  swimming 
championship  teams  during  that  period  and 
saw  15  of  his  men  named  to  the  AU-Ameri- 
can  prep  school  team.  Latour  has  been 
swimming  coach,  baseball  coach  and  assistant 
football  coach  at  Bethlehem  Central  School, 
Delniar,  N.  Y.  since  1954.

1899 
AMOS  K.  DEIBLER,  ESQ.  '99  DIES 

Amos  K.  Deibler,  Esq.,  86,  former  district 
attorney  of  Xorthumberland  Countj'  and  for 
48  years  a  practicing  attome}',  died  on  No- 
vember 16.  1955.  following  an  illness  of 
eleven  months. 

After  his  graduation  from  Bucknell  he 
served  as  principal  of  the  Turbot\-ille  High 
School  for  several  years.  He  read  law  in 
the  office  of  the  Hon.  C.  B.  W'itmer.  Sun- 
burv.  and  was  admitted  to  the  Northumber- 
land County  Bar  in  June.  1901.  In  1902  he 
opened  a  law  office  in  Shamokin,  where  he 
continued  to  practice  until  his  retirement  in 
1932.  He  served  as  district  attorney  of 
Northumberland  Count>-  from  1908-1912. 

On  Dec.  8.  1954,  he  suffered  severe  burns 
at  his  home  in  Sehnsgrove  R.  D.  1,  when  his 
clothing  caught  fire  from  a  match  dropped 
while  he  was  lighting  his  pipe.  He  never 
fully  recovered  from  the  accident. 

Upon  the  occasion  of  his  SOth  birthday  he 
was  tendered  an  informal  surprise  Birthday 
party  at  his  home,  by  his  daughter  Mrs.  Isa- 
bel Deibler  Rice.  Guests  included  jurists, 
county  and  federal  court  officials,  members 
of  the  press  and  business  men.  A  large 
delegation  of  students  and  faculty  from 
Bucknell  attended  the  party.  Among  the 
Bucknell  group  was  Prof.  William  G. 
Owens,  then  92  }'ears  of  age,  who  had  been 
one  of  Attorney  Deibler's  teachers  at  Buck- 
nell. and  members  of  the  Delta  Sigma  fra- 
temitj-.  of  which  he  was  co-founder  in  1899. 
Ernest  Thompson,  president  of  Delta  Sigma, 
presented  him  a  gift  on  behalf  of  the  fra- 
temit}-  and  a  fraternity  recognition  pin.  At 
the  time  of  his  death  he  was  the  oldest  liv- 
ing member  of  the  Bucknell  Chapter  of 
Delta  Sigma,  now  Delta  Upsilon. 


1901 
JOHN  S.  STEPHENS  '01   DIES 

John  Storer  Stephens,  a  member  of  one  of 
Bucknell's  oldest  and  largest  families,  died 
suddenly  on  Feb.  14,  at  his  home  in  Palo 
Alto.  Calif. 

He  was  a  son  of  Rev.  Leroy  Stephens  '68 
and  Mao'  Hakes  Stephens.  His  father,  a 
prominent  educator,  minister,  and  Bucknell 
trustee,  died  in  1922.  He  had  played  a 
prominent  part  in  Bucknell  history.  When 
Lee's  army  invaded  Gettysburg,  he  was 
among  the  ten  students  who  enlisted,  along 
with  President  Loomis,  in  the  defense  of 
the  Commonwealth.  He  later  became  presi- 
dent of  Western  Pennsylvania  Classical  and 
Scientific  Institute  at  Mt.  Pleasant,  from 
which  Bucknell  drew  many  students.  When 
the  institute  was  discontinued,  Bucknell  re- 
ceived over  $64,000  from  the  estate.  The 
money  was  set  aside  as  the  Leroy  .Stephens 
Mount  Pleasant  Institute  Endowment  and 
Scholarship  Fund.  Stephens  House  on  Sixth 
Street,  which  serves  as  a  dormitory  for  girls, 
was  named  for  him.  John's  mother  had 
been  a  teacher  of  I.^tin  and  science  at  the 
Seminary  after  the  Civil  War. 

He  was  ly^rn  Dec.  19,  1879  in  the  parson- 
age of  the  First  Baptist  Church  at  Mt. 
Pleasant.  When  he  was  16  his  family  moved 
to  Ix-wi.shurg.  He  graduated  from  the 
.•\cadcmy  in  1897  and  entered  college  the 
next  fall.  While  a  student  he  joined  the 
Phi  Cjamnia  Delia  fraternity,  and  graduated 
fum  laude  in  I9f)l. 

Anxious  to  .we  the  world,  he  and  a  friend 
worked  their  way  U>  Cana'ta  and  went  from 
there  to  FnKland  on  a  cattle  boat.  They 
joined  the  Buffalo  Bill  show  which  was 
playing  in  Kngland  at  the  time.  This  expe- 
rience wa»  parked  full  of  excitement,  and 
John  kc|>t  |»coplc  entertained  for  years  with 
hij  talc*  of  thoM:  Buffalo  Bill  <ihow"i. 
MAY    I  0  •,  (! 


Returning  to  the  States,  he  began  a  20- 
year  career  as  salesman  for  the  American 
Lead  Pencil  Co.,  in  New  York.  This  work 
took  him  to  all  parts  of  the  country.  It  was 
on  one  of  these  trips  that  he  met  Sadie  Lee 
Golden  of  Harrisonburg,  Va.,  whom  he 
married,  moving  with  her  and  their  small 
son  to  Palo  Alto  in  1912,  where  they  have 
lived  ever  since. 

In  1921  he  joined  tlie  firm  of  Schwabacher 
and  Co.,  investment  brokers,  with  whom  he 
remained  until  his  death. 

He    attended    his    SOth    class    reunion    in 

1951,  after  which  all  the  members  of  the 
Stephens  family  had  a  reunion  on  the 
Bucknell  campus. 

In  1952  he  and  his  wife  planned  a  vaca- 
tion trip  to  Alaska  which  almost  ended  in 
disaster.  They  sailed  on  the  Canadian 
Pacific's  6,000-ton  Princess  Kathleen,  queen 
of  the  Alaskan  lines.  At  3:15  one  morning, 
when  they  were  only  IS  miles  from  Juneau, 
there  was  a  violent  shock  and  sound  of 
grinding  metal.  People  were  thrown  from 
their  bunks  and  warning  was  issued  over  the 
loud  speakers  to  abandon  ship.  The  Kath- 
leen had  steamed  onto  shore  on  a  high  ledge 
of  the  Alaskan  mainland.     In  its   Sept.  22, 

1952,  issue,  Life  magazine  carried  pictures  of 
the  sinking  of  this  boat.  The  Stephens, 
along  with  all  other  passengers  lost  all  their 
belongings.  They  were  happy  to  return  to 
Palo  .^Ito  and  replenish  their  wardrobes. 

Last  fall  they  flew  east  to  visit  friends  and 
relatives,  .'\fter  visiting  in  New  York,  Rich- 
mond, Washington,  Pittsburgh  and  St.  Pe- 
tersburg, John  made  a  trip  to  Mt.  Pleasant 
to  visit  his  boyhood  friends. 

In  addition  to  his  civic  interests  and  his 
contributions  to  the  community,  John  had 
played  a  large  part  in  the  planning  and 
building  of  the  beautiful  First  Baptist 
Church  in  Palo  Alto.  He  was  a  Mason  and 
had  served  as  city  councilman. 

Surviving  are  his  widow  and  three  chil- 
dren :  John  S.  Jr.  of  Time-Life,  New  York ; 
Robert  of  Palo  Alto ;  and  Mrs.  David 
Thompson  of  Soname,  Calif;  one  brother, 
Albert  W.  Stephens  '96 ;  and  three  sisters, 
Gertrude  S.  Downs  '99 ;  Elizabeth  S.  Roun- 
er  '18;  and  Ruth  S.  Porter  '05.  Another 
brother  and  three  sisters  preceded  him  in 
death:  Woodward  Stephens  '96;  Mary  S. 
Morgan  '99;  Alif  Stephens  '04,  and  Anna 
Stephens  '03.

H.  WALTER  HOLTER  '24,  FORMER 

BUCKNELL   REGISTRAR, 

SUCCUMBS 

Bucknellians  will  learn  with  deep  regret 
of  the  death  of  Henry  Walter  Holter,  61, 
former  registrar  of  Bucknell,  on  March  16 
at  his  home.  205  South  Thirteenth  .St., 
Lcwisburg,  after  several  years  of  declining 
health. 

A  native  of  Howard,  Penna.,  he  was  a 
graduate  of  Howard  High  School.  Prior 
to  his  entrance  as  a  student  at  Bucknell  in 
1920,  he  had  attended  Central  State  Normal 
School  and  had  been  an  elementary  teacher 
for  four  years  and  an  elenientary  school 
principal  for  three  years.  During  his  stu- 
dent days  he  earned  his  way  by  working  in 
the  Alumni  office  and  during  his  senior  year 
he  was  assistant  editor  of  the  lUickncll 
Alumni  Monlhlv,  now  Till':  BUCKNELL 
ALUMNUS.  Besides  this  large  burden  of 
work,  he  held  many  stuflent  offices  and  was 
graduated,  cum  laude,  in  1924.  He  was  an 
active  member  of  the  SAl'2  fraternity,  fni- 
mefliately  following  graduation,  he  was  ap- 
pointefl  assistant  registrar,  to  repl;ice  Thcron 
Clark.  In  I92S  he  was  named  registrar  and 
held  this  position  until  he  retired  in  1946 
because  of  ill  health.     After  a  partial  recov- 


ery of  his  health,  he  became  director  of  the 
visual  aids  library  at  Bucknell  and  served 
in  this  capacity  for  several  years. 

During  his  years  of  declining  health  his 
chief  hobby  had  been  stamp  collecting.  He 
was  a  charter  member  of  the  West  Branch 
Stamp  Club  organized  in  1939  for  the  ex- 
change and  sale  of  stamps  by  philatelists  of 
the  area.  He  was  a  Mason  and  had  served 
eight  years  as  secretary  of  the  Lewisburg 
Lions  Club.  He  was  an  active  member  of 
Beaver  Memorial  Methodist  Church  in 
Lewisburg. 

Surviving  are  his  wife,  Mrs.  Sarah  M. 
Lehman  Holter,  and  a  daughter,  Mrs.  Eliza- 
beth Anne  Holter  Kwasnoi  '52,  wife  of 
Martin  Kwasnoi  '52,  of  Elizabeth,  N.  J. 

Walter  was  the  brother  of  Cameron  B. 
Holter  '21  and  an  uncle  of  Margaret  Holter 
'24  and  Donald  C.  Holter  '50. 

In  a  statement  to  Mr,  Holter's  colleagues 
at  Bucknell,  President  Odgers  stated :  "His 
quiet  and  gentlemanly  efficiency  marked  him 
as  a  most  valued  officer  of  the  University 
administration." 


1935 

DR.   ROBERT   LINDNER, 

PSYCHOANALYST,   DIES  AT  41 

Dr.  Robert  M.  Lindner,  Bucknell  alumnus, 
prominent  psychologist-psychoanalyst  and 
author,  died  Feb.  27  at  Johns  Hopkins  Hos- 
pital in  Baltimore  of  a  heart  ailment.  He 
was  41  years  old. 

Dr.  Lindner's  death  came  as  a  shock  to 
thousands  of  Bucknellians.  He  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Class  of  1935,  and  returned  to  the 
campus  last  May  as  speaker  at  the  annual 
banquet  of  the  Bucknell  chapter  of  Phi  Beta 
Kappa. 

He  was  born  in  New  York  City  in  1914 
and  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of 
that  city.  He  received  his  M.A.  degree  in 
psychology  at  Cornell  University  in  1935 
where  he  later  earned  a  Ph.D. 

In  1938  he  became  associated  with  the 
New  Jersey  State  Department  of  Institu- 
tions and  Agencies.  From  there  he  went 
to  the  Federal  Penitentiary  at  Lewisburg  as 
a  psychologist.  It  was  while  serving  in  this 
capacity  that  he  took  the  case  history  of  a 
criminal  psychopath  which  supplied  the  ma- 
terial for  his  book  Rebel  Without  A  Cause, 
written  in  1944.  Last  year  Warner  Broth- 
ers produced  a  motion  picture  about  juvenile 
delinquency  under  that  title  that  won  several 
Oscar  Awards.  He  became  chief  of  the 
Psychiatric-Psychological  Division  at  the 
Lewisburg  institution. 

Dr.  Lindner  served  in  World  War  II  as 
an  officer  of  the  United  States  Public  Health 
Service.  Thereafter  he  entered  private 
psychoanalytical  practice  in  Baltimore.  He 
had  also  served  as  chief  consultant  for  the 
Maryland  Board  of  Corrections. 

He  was  author  of  more  than  90  essays, 
articles  and  reviews  in  the  field  of  criminolo- 
gy, hypnoanalysis,  psychoanalysis,  and  clin- 
ical psychology,  as  well  as  editor  of  Con- 
tcmpvrary  Criminal  Hygiene  (1946),  The 
II  a  ndb  0  0  li  of  Correctional  Psychology 
(1947),  and  lixltlorations  in  Psychoanalysis 
(1953).  His  books  include  Rcl)cl  Without  A 
Cause  (1944);  Stone  Walls  and  Men 
(1946)  ;  Prescril>tinn  For  Rebellion  (1952), 
and  The  Pifiy  Minute  Hour  (1955).  His 
latest  book,  which  was  published  in  January, 
Must  Von  Conform l",  was  dedicated  to  Dr. 
P.  L.  Harriman  of  the  Bucknell  faculty  and 
was  reviewed  in  the  March  issue  of  THl'!) 
liUCKNIUJ,  ALUMNUS. 

In  1954,  together  with  Albert  liinstein 
,•111(1  Justice  William  ().  Douglas,  Dr.  Lind- 
ner was  awarded  the  Accepted  Fellowship 
(Comtimied  on  I'age  10)

Christy  Mathewson  -  -  Great  Athlete,  Soldier  and  Christian  Gentleman 


(Editor's  Note)  Tliis  is  the  second  and  final  in- 
stallment of  the  dedication  address  of  Dr.  Andrew 
R.  E.  Wyant  '92,  at  the  unveiling  of  Cliristy 
Matliewson's  portrait  at  the  Phi  Gamma  Delta  on 
Bucl^nell's  Hcmecomiiij;  Day.  Novemljer  5,  1955. 


A  Christian  College  Training 

A  THIRD  cornerstone  of  our  American 
Way  of  Life  is  the  Christian  college 
which  recognizes  that  the  only  really  good 
education  is  the  education  of  a  good  man. 
■Who  is  more  dangerous  than  a  devil  ?  An 
edu:ated  devil.  A  good  education  is  the  dis- 
cipline of  a  man's  body,  mind  and  spirit. 
Christy  was  indefatigable  in  his  practice  of 
pitching  ball  and  drop-kicks.  Stagg  once 
paid  me  the  compliment  of  saying  that  I 
never  missed  a  practice.  Perhaps  that  was 
the  reason  why  I  was  able  to  play  98  inter- 
collegiate games  without  being  retired  by 
injury  from  a  single  game.  Christy  had 
everything  needed  for  a  great  baseball 
player :  strength,  intelligence,  courage,  wil- 
lingness and  tranquillity  of  mind.  As  a  col- 
lege man  he  was  in  great  demand  as  a  speak- 
er for  boys'  clubs  and  college  gatherings. 
Christy  revolutionized  baseball  by  fidelity  to 
his  ideals.  It  was  the  quality  of  his  mind  and 
heart  rather  than  the  skill  of  his  arm  and 
fingers  that  gave  him  his  eminence.  He  was 
an  example  of  integrity  of  character  and  high 
ideals.  He  was  an  expert  and  a  Christian 
athlete  also. 

Christy  had  humility,  but  he  also  had 
plenty  of  self-confidence  which  is  needed  for 
any  kind  of  success  in  life.  He  also  had 
enough  common  sense  and  good  judgment  to 
know  that  there  is  a  world  of  difference  be- 
tween a  rational  self-esteem  and  a  ridicu- 
lous self-conceit.  Christy  had  a  record  of 
honesty,  cleanness  and  courage.  As  mana- 
ger of  the  Cincinnati  team,  he  denounced 
one  of  his  players  as  a  tool  of  gamblers  in 
the  White  So.x  scandal.  His  was  a  mag- 
netic personality  and  while  some  players 
have  been  the  idols  of  their  city,  Christy  was 
the  idol  of  the  nation. 

A  Man  of  Versatility 

TTE  W.'^S  a  versatile  man,  a  leader  in 
-'--'•  varied  sports,  fullback  in  football,  base- 
ball pitcher,  center  in  basketball,  played  the 
bass  horn  in  the  band,  member  of  the  glee 
club,  freshman  class  historian,  member  of 
Euepia  Literary  Society  and  senior  class 
president.  His  college  record  was  clean  in 
every  respect.  He  was  a  good  student,  a 
remarkable  athlete,  a  favorite  socially  and 
was  clean  morally.  He  exemplified  Christ's 
command :  "Let  your  light  so  shine  before 
men  that  they  may  see  your  good  works  and 
glorify  your  Father  which  is  in  heaven." 
Good  example  is  more  needed  than  precept 
or  preaching.  At  the  end  of  his  junior  year 
he  became  a  member  of  the  N.  Y.  Giants  and 
as  a  Major  League  pitcher  won  372  games 
for  them.  He  had  the  remarkable  record 
of  pitching  3  games  against  the  Philadel- 
phia Athletics  in  one  week  without  letting 
them  score  a  single  run.  Christy  Mathew- 
son  is  remembered  for  what  he  has  done. 
His  accomplishments  have  thrilled  millions 
of  people. 

Activities  Develop  Character 

'T'HE  world  will  not  soon  forget  what  he 
■^  did  for  them  by  his  triumphant  accom- 
plishments. But  few  may  have  considered 
what  athletics  did  for  him.  There  is  an 
invisible  emanation  that  rises  up  from  work 
or  play  and  builds  itself  into  our  character 
and  character  is  immortal.  In  our  philoso- 
phy of  life  we  must  note  what  athletics  can 
do  for  a  man  with  Christy's  spirit.  On  my 
family  monument  in  Chicago  I  had  this  text 
engraved:  "Let  them  rest  from  their  toil 
for  what  they  have  done  will  go  with  them." 
Those  qualities  of  character,  developed  by 
10 


honest  work  and  praiseworthy  sports,  are  a 
part  of  our  life  for  time  and  eternity.  The 
past  is  forever  ours.  My  father  was  not  a 
college  man,  but  he  used  his  brains  and 
knew  that  honest  work  develops  honest  char- 
acter, when  he  showed  me,  a  boy  of  10,  how 
to  dig  around  the  stumps  so  grain  would 
grow  and  found  me  doing  shoddy  work  by 
"cut  and  cover"  and  he  gave  me  his  only 
whipping  for  not  doing  work  as  well  as  I 
knew  how.  Shoddy  work  develops  shoddy 
character.  I  still  bless  him  for  that  disci- 
pline. It  helped  me  in  my  work  as  student, 
teacher,  minister  and  physician.  I  have 
found  that  the  highest  satisfaction  in  life 
comes  from  the  zvay  we  do  our  work  rather 
than  for  the  kind  of  work  we  do.  That  was 
Christy's  life  philosophy  and  practice.  We 
will  do  well  to  follow  his  example. 

While  Christy  was  almost  idolized  by  the 
boys  and  young  men  of  his  generation  I  do 
not  hold  him  up  as  a  perfect  example.  There 
has  been  only  one  perfect  man.  Jesus  was 
the  ideal  man  and  the  more  a  man  becomes 
like  Him  the  more  of  a  man  he  is.  He  not 
only  shows  us  what  to  be  but  He  helps  us 
to  be  it.  Follow  Christy  only  as  he  followed 
the  Man  of  Galilee. 

A  Generous  Man 

T  HAVE  not  time  to  hold  up  each  of  the 
-'■  high  qualities  of  his  character  for  our 
emulation,  but  I  do  want  to  mention  his  gen- 
erosity. Like  Albert  Schweitzer  he  was  a 
versatile  man  and  had  dramatic  and  musi- 
cal ability.  When  he  became  nationally 
known,  the  theatres  sought  his  services  dur- 
ing the  winter  and  he  was  given  a  part  in 
a  travelling  theatrical  show.  He  received 
a  good  salary  and  was  very  popular.  When 
he  played  in  Chicago  scores  of  boys  were  at 
the  theatre  to  see  him.  He  loved  boys  and 
arranged  with  the  manager  to  pass  them  in 
and  charge  to  his  account.  It  was  noised 
about  and  the  boys  became  still  more  nu- 
merous and  at  the  end  of  the  week  he  had 
scarcely  enough  left  to  pay  his  hotel  bill. 
His  autographed  baseballs  were  in  much 
demand  and  he  had  a  trunk  full  of  auto- 
graphed balls  shipped  to  each  town  where 
he  played  which  were  sold  and  the  proceeds 
given  to  charity. 

I  was  interested  in  this  activity  because 
I  was  vice  president  of  the  Chicago  Dramatic 
Society  and  played  the  part  of  Lincoln  in 
Drinkwater's  play  in  Sinai  Temple  and  as  a 
result,  was  asked  to  take  part  in  a  great 
pageant  of  the  centennial  history  of  Illinois 
in  the  Auditorium  Theatre  which  seated 
4,000.  I  was  asked  to  be  Lincoln  in  the 
Inaugural  Ball  scene  and  was  professionally 
made-up  to  be  the  "spittin'  image"  of  Lin- 
coln— just  as  tall  and  skinny  and  handsome 
— and  when  I  appeared  on  the  stage  with 
the  members  of  my  cabinet  and  their  wives 
and  the  young  people  to  dance  the  minuet,  an 
orchestra  of  40  pieces  struck  up  "Hail  to 
the  Chief."  That  Saturday  matinee  and  night 
performance  cleared  $11,000  for  the  Soldiers' 
Recreation  Fund.  The  scene  was  also  repeat- 
ed under  the  auspices  of  the  Princeton  Foun- 
dation in  10  city  parks  with  attendance  of 
5,000  to  15,000. 

War  Hero  and  Tragedy 

pHRISTY  was  with  the  N.  Y.  Giants  16 
^  years  and  became  the  greatest  pitcher 
of  his  time.  He  was  a  hero  on  the  ball  field, 
but  a  greater  hero  on  the  field  of  life.  He 
was  greater  than  his  game.  He  loved  his 
sport  and  his  profession,  but  he  loved  his 
country  more.  His  manhood  took  him  to 
France  as  captain  of  a  gas  division  where 
he  was  poisoned  by  German  mustard  gas 
which  resulted  in  a  tubercular  infection. 
This  was  the  great  tragedy  of  his  life. 

He  returned  to  the  land  he  loved,  went  to 


Saranac  Lake  Hospital  where  for  five  years 
he  battled  the  great  white  plague.  His  wife 
was  his  cheerleader  and  nurse,  at  his  side 
day  and  night.  He  wanted  her  near  him 
always  and  she  wanted  to  be  near  him.  He 
fully  realized  the  gravity  of  his  condition 
and  having  made  all  preparations  for  death, 
made  a  long  uphill  struggle  for  life.  Any 
man  of  ordinary  make-up  would  have  gone 
by  the  end  of  the  first  six  months,  as  prog- 
nosticated by  his  physicians,  but  Christy  was 
more  than  ordinary.  It  was  alone  his  strength 
of  character,  his  unflinching  courage  and  con- 
fidence that  kept  him  alive  as  long  as  he  did 
live.  If  he  was  great  as  he  stood  forth  in 
the  noonday  of  his  power,  still  on  the  up- 
waj-d  curve,  he  was  greater  as  he  passed 
down  into  the  valley  of  the  shadows.  He 
was  courageous  to  the  last  and  when  finally 
he  gave  up  the  battle  and  smilingly  arranged 
for  his  burial  near  the  Bucknell  campus,  he 
said  to  his  beloved  wife :  "Now  Jane,  I  sup- 
pose you  will  have  to  go  out  and  have  a 
good  cry.  Don't  make  it  a  long  one.  It 
cannot  be  helped."  For  his  country  he  paid 
the  last  full  measure  of  devotion  in  his  45th 
year. 

He  had  an  only  son,  whom  to  know  per- 
sonally was  to  love  as  a  fraternity  brother. 
In  his  field  of  service  as  a  Colonel  of  the  Air 
Force  he  too  had  what  seemed  an  untimely 
death. 

Tragedy  Turned  Into  Blessing 

WE  ALL  may  have  to  meet  some  tragedy 
in  life.  I  had  to  meet  tragedy  in  the 
death  of  my  only  son,  born  in  the  same  year 
as  Christy's  son.  My  wife  was  pregnant 
while  I  was  in  the  medical  school  and  I 
put  her  under  the  care  of  the  best  obstetri- 
cian in  Chicago.  An  infection  of  impetigo 
contagiosa  broke  out  in  this  Lying-in  Hospi- 
tal near  the  college  and  3  infants  died  and 
my  son  was  one  of  them.  I  had  never  lost 
a  single  case  in  childbirth  during  my  prac- 
tice, with  sometimes  2  or  3  babies  in  one 
night.  It  was  hard  for  me  to  reconcile  my- 
self with  the  thought  that  his  short  life  of  18 
das's  would  be  nothing  to  the  world.  So 
in  the  Twenties  when  we  were  all  earning 
good  money,  I  decided  to  establish  at  the 
Chicago  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  (which  I  joined  at 
Bucknell  in  1887)  and  of  which  I  am  now 
the  oldest  member,  a  Memorial  Fund  for 
character  building  work  of  the  boys  and 
girls  of  Chicago.  So  in  1929  I  went  to  the 
Secretary  and  told  him  my  purpose  to  give 
$500  or  more  each  year  as  long  as  I  lived, 
until  the  fund  would  represent  as  many 
dollars  as  I  received  for  4  years  as  a  teach- 
er and  16  years  as  a  pastor.  The  Secretary 
clapped  me  on  the  shoulder  and  said :  "Doc- 
tor, we  are  praying  for  you  to  live  100  years." 
I  have  been  waiting  around  to  see  if  those 
prayers  will  be  answered.  The  boys  and 
girls  of  Chicago  are  being  saved  by  disci- 
plined character-building  activities. 

Last  December  I  was  asked  to  give  the 
dedicatory  address  in  a  $2,000,000  Washing- 
ton Park  Y.  M.  C.  A.  building  in  the  midst 
of  250,000  Negroes,  where  the  Youth  Lobby 
has  a  memorial  plaque  in  memory  of  my 
son.  It  serves  the  vital  needs  of  a  large 
community  for  dormitory,  athletic,  civic  and 
religious  activities. 

Finally,  let  me  express  my  belief  that 
Christy  very  likely  knows  what  is  going  on 
in  his  fraternity  house  tonight.  Moses  and 
Elias  met  Christ  on  the  Transfiguration 
Mount.  One  had  died  about  1500  years  be- 
fore and  the  other  did  not  die  but  was  trans- 
lated about  900  years  before ;  yet  they  found 
each  other  in  heaven  and  were  there  on  the 
Mount  talking  with  Christ  about  contem- 
porary happenings.

THE  HILDRETHS  SEE  A  KHEDA 

(Continued  from  Page  3) 

Now  began  the  most  dangerous  task  of 
tying  or  hobbling  the  wild  elephant.  The 
wild  elephant  was  fed  bundles  of  bamboo 
and  held  in  on  all  sides  by  tame  elephants, 
and  then  a  very  brave  man  got  down  on 
the  ground  and  worked  ropes  around  the 
wild  elephant's  legs  just  like  hobbling  a 
camel  or  horse.  After  his  hind  legs  were 
hobbled,  the  rope  connecting  the  hobble 
to  the  two  hind  legs  was  run  through  the 
stockade  and  hitches  taken  around  some 
of  the  buttressing  poles. 

Then  began  the  delicate  and  difficult 
task  of  getting  a  noose  around  the  ele- 
phant's neck.  This  rope  was  as  big  as  a 
ship's  hawser.  Again  and  again  they 
tried  to  slip  this  hawser  over  the  ele- 
phant's head  and  trunk  but  the  makna 
ftusklcss  male)  would  seize  it  in  his 
mouth  and  work  his  trunk  under  the 
noose  and  get  it  back  over  his  head. 
Finally  success  was  achieved  and  there 
was  the  first  elephant  hobbled  and  noosed, 
The  makna  would  be  left  there  overnight 
and  then,  hobbled  and  noosed,  would  be 
led  a  r|uartcr  of  a  mile  away  to  a  cleared 
place  with  water  in  it  so  he  could  drink 
and  then  the  long  laborious  process  of 
training  commenced.  This  takes  several 
months  and  the  principal  method  used  is 
to  have  the  wild  elephant  placed  between 
two  tame  elephants  and  then  the  tame 
elephants  perform  according  to  command 
and  the  wild  elephant  eventually  learns 
what  he  is  supposed  to  do  on  a  given 
order. 

Each  day  or  two  another  wild  elephant 
.M  A  V    I  »  5  0 


is  taken  out  of  the  stockade  by  following 
the  method  described  above.  Once  all  of 
the  wild  elephants  are  out  of  the  stockade, 
another  attempt  is  made  to  drive  in  some 
wild  elephants  in  order  to  take  advantage 
of  the  stockade  already  built  and  the  crew 
being  assembled  in  the  kheda  camp.  At 
the  time  we  were  there  the  kheda  had 
already  cost  about  twenty  thousand 
rupees  which  is  astonishingly  small  by 
our  standards  as  that  is  only  about  $4,000. 
The  price  of  perhaps  a  five-year  old 
elephant,  trained  only  in  the  rudiments 
of  work,  would  be  about  two  thousand 
rupees  delivered  in  Chittagong  which  is 
a  sixty-mile  walk  from  where  the  ele- 
phant was  captured.  A  fully  trained  ele- 
phant at  the  port  of  Chittagong  would  be 
worth  about  four  thousand  rupees  or 
$1,000. 

Up  to  now  I  have  neglected  to  speak 
in  detail  about  the  little  three-week  old 
baby  elephant.  Well,  in  the  stockade 
which  was  pretty  well  filled  by  fifteen 
elephants  with  just  room  enough  left  to 
mull  around  the  circular  stockade,  tlie 
little  baby  elephant  scurried  around  be- 
neath the  bellies  and  feet  of  the  older 
elephants.  Every  once  in  a  while  it 
would  get  stepped  on  or  buffeted  and 
squealed  like  a  stuck  pig.  This  baby 
elephant  still  had  a  lot  of  hair  left  on  it 
and  was  constantly  trying  to  get  little 
sustenance  from  its  mother.  Apparently 
the  baby  elephant  had  an  older  brother 
because  the  mother  elephant  and  a  small 
male  eh-phant  would  constantly  try  to 
ward  off  the  rest  of  the  herd  and  protect 
the  baby  elephant.  Perhaps  most  touch- 
ing of  all  was  when  Lalbahadur,  the  big 
bull  tusker  domestic  elephant  who  was 
about  forty  years  old,  stood  outside  the 
gate  jabbing  those  who  came  near  with 
his  tusks,  the  most  defiant  one  of  all  the 
wild  elephants  was  the  mother  of  the 
baby  elephant  supported  by  the  baby 
elephant's  brother  who  stood  in  the  fore- 
front ready  to  light  to  the  death  to  protect 
the  baby  elephant  from  Lalbahadur.  In- 
terestingly enough  it  is  often  the  female 
elephant,  sometimes  an  old  grandniother, 
who  is  the  general  conniiapidinK  officer  of 
a  captured  herd  of  wild  elephants  and  will 
orgaiiiz('   the  effort   to  resist. 

After  returning  to  Chillagoiig,  which 
lotjk  all  day  by  jeep,  we  lli-w  to  Jessure 
the  fnxt  morning  and  th<-ii  jecped  lo 
Khuliia  on  the  fjaiiges  Kivcr.  Here  we 
boarrjed  a  fine  two-storied  houseboat  that 


would  sleep  thirteen  people  in  staterooms. 
I  was  able  to  invite  six  of  the  American 
staff  and  colony  to  join  us  on  the  river 
trip  down  to  the  famous  Sunderbans 
delta  forest  land.  This  is  very  wild 
jungle  land  which  abounds  in  game  in- 
cluding tigers,  deer  and  crocodile.  For 
four  months  of  the  year  it  is  completely 
under  water  and  the  deer  stand  waist  high 
in  water  night  and  day.  Then  the  waters 
recede  and  fall  into  their  channels.  Dur- 
ing the  rainy  season  snakes  are  very 
abundant  also. 

In  these  river  channels  there  are  both 
alligator  and  crocodile  with  the  crocodile 
more  cornmon.  The  best  time  to  hunt 
crocodile  is  in  December  when  the  water 
is  cold  and  the  skies  are  clear.  This  com- 
bination induces  the  crocodiles  to  climb  up 
on  the  muddy  river  banks  at  low  tide  and 
sun  themselves.  Often  they  snooze  with 
their  great  mouths  open  as  wide  as  six 
feet  and  the  birds  come  around  and  pick 
tlieir  teeth  for  them  while  they  sleep. 
Unfortunately  beginning  this  first  week 
of  February,  the  water  had  warmed  up 
and  the  skies  had  clouded  over  so  we  had 
only  two  hours  of  sunshine  each  day. 
Nonetheless,  with  one  of  the  si.xty-foot 
boats  on  one  bank  and  the  other  on  the 
opposite  bank,  the  group  saw  four  croco- 
diles. One  of  them  slithered  into  the 
water  before  we  even  had  time  to  grab 
our  guns,  but  we  did  get  shots  at  the  other 
three.  They  are  amazingly  difiicult  to 
see  as  they  are  exactly  the  color  of  nnid 
banks  and  it  takes  a  sharp  eye  to  dis- 
tinguish them  even  if  you  are  as  close  as 
fifty  to  seventy-five  yards.  They  seldom 
go  far  from  water  and  move  into  the 
water  where  they  arc  lost,  you  have  to 
liit  them  in  a  vulnerable  spot  such  as  the 
eyes  or  just  back  of  the  head.  We  did 
not  succeed  in  stopping  any  we  saw  from 
getting  into  the  water  though  we  think 
some  of  our  bullets  hit  them. 

When  we  pulled  out  of  Delhi  in  our 
Emliussy  plane,  there  was  a  sudden  <|ueer 
noise,  and  before  we  knew  it  almost,  we 
were  back  at  New  Delhi.  ICxaminalions 
showed  a  new  cylinder  was  re<|uired  in 
one  of  the  engines  so  Dassy,  Munnny  and 
I  took  the  Pakistan  International  Air- 
lines back  to  Karachi  where  we  arrived 
safe  and  sound  but  cold  because  that  line 
liad  no  healer  in  its  cibin,  and  (lying  at 
nine  Ihousaml  fc<'l  even  above  llie  desert 
was  very  culd.  Thus  ended  another  in- 
l<TesliMg  trip. 


THE  VIRGINIA  LANDS  OF  BUCKNELL  UNIVERSITY 


{Editor's  note — The  following  resume  of  the  34- 
page  brochure,  prepared  by  Dr.  J.  Orin  Oliphant, 
professor  of  history  at  Buclcnell  University,  antl 
Mr.  John  T.  Shirley  '09,  trustee  of  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity, is  just  a  brief  review  of  this  significant 
episode  in  the  history  of  Bucknell  University.  A 
limited  number  of  copies  are  available  on  a  first 
come,  first  served  basis.  Alumni  desiring  a  copy 
of  the  brochure  should  write  to  Miss  Trennie  E. 
Eisley,  director  of  public  relations,  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity, Lewisburg,  Penna.) 

The  authors  of  this  historical  sketch 
have  endeavored  to  present  the  story  of 
a  significant  episode  in  the  history  of 
Bucknell  University  at  the  request  of  the 
University  Trustees,  front  whom  they  have 
received  the  fullest  co-operation.  They 
have  been  given  access  to  the  extant  rec- 
ords of  the  transaction  about  which  they 
have  written,  and  they  have  used  these 
records  to  the  best  of  their  ability.  Every 
statement  of  fact  that  they  have  made  is 
sustained  either  by  documentary  evidence 
or  by  the  oral  testimony  of  competent  wit- 
nesses. 

In  the  text  of  the  sketch  credit  is  given 
not  only  to  the  donors  of  the  Virginia 
lands  to  Bucknell  University,  but  also  to 
those  members  of  the  Board  of  Trustees 
who  willingly  accepted  the  responsibility 
of  administering  these  lands. 

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees  of  Bucknell  University  on  June 
8,  1923,  in  Lewisburg,  Rush  H.  Kress  an- 
nounced the  desire  of  James  Simmons 
Swartz,  Chairman  of  the  Board,  to  give  to 
Bucknell  University,  for  the  benefit  of  its 
endowment  fund,  a  tract  of  about  594 
acres  of  undeveloped  land  lying  alongside 
the  Potomac  River,  between  Alexandria 
and  Mount  Vernon,  in  Fairfax  County, 
Virginia.  With  deep  appreciation  the 
Board  accepted  this  gift,  and  "authorized 
Mr.  Kress  to  complete  the  necessary  nego- 
tiations for  the  same  and  to  extend  to  Mr. 
Swartz  the  thanks  and  gratitude  of  the 
Board."  On  July  2,  1923,  Mr.  Swartz 
deeded  this  tract  of  land  to  the  University. 

A  few  months  later  in  Philadelphia,  on 
December  15,  1923.  Mr.  Swartz  informed 
the  Board  of  Trustees,  at  its  semi-annual 
meeting,  that  his  friend  Henry  J.  Loftus 
had  deeded  to  Bucknell  University  a  tract 
of  about  240  acres  of  undeveloped  land 
adjacent  to  the  tract  that  he  had  given. 
This  gift  is  known  as  the  gift  of  Sara 
Josephine  Loftus.  An  oil  portrait  of  Mrs. 
Loftus,  presented  to  Bucknell  by  Mr. 
Swartz  in  1927,  hangs  in  Hunt  Hall  living- 
room.  The  names  of  both  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Loftus  have  been  inscribed  on  the  roll  of 
Founders  of  Bucknell. 

Rich  historical  associations  as  well  as 
tender  sentiments  cluster  about  the  Vir- 
ginia lands  that  were  given  to  Bucknell. 
They  lie  in  the  Northern  Neck  of  Vir- 
ginia and  were  the  proprietorship  of  Lord 
Fairfax.  In  this  Northern  Neck  are  lands 
once  owned  by  John  Marshall,  and  in  it 
Arlington,  the  home  of  Robert  E.  Lee  and 
Mount  Vernon,  the  home  of  George  Wash- 
ington, are  located. 

However  much  the  gifts  of  Virginia 
lands  may  have  stirred  the  sentiments,  the 
Trustees  of  the  University  knew  well  that 
the  gifts  had  raised  questions  and  respon- 
sibilities that  pressed  hard  upon  them. 
These  lands  were  unimproved  and  unpro- 
ductive and,  moreover,  were  subject  to 
taxation  by  the  state  of  Virginia.  It  raised 
the  question  of  whether  they  should  be 
sold  or  be  held  for  improvement  in  value. 
Presumably  Mr.  Swartz  believed  they 
should  not  be  held.  However,  such  an 
opinion  was  not  held  by  Rush  H.  Kress 
and  some  of  the  other  Trustees. 

In  June  1924,  at  their  annual  meeting, 
the  Board  of  Trustees  appointed  a  com- 

12 


mittee  of  five  trustees  to  handle  the  Vir- 
ginia Lands. 

In  1926  the  LIniversity  was  asked  to  con- 
vey a  strip,  two  hundred  feet  wide,  through 
its  Virginia  property  for  use  as  a  part  of 
a  right  of  way  for  a  proposed  Mount  Ver- 
non Memorial  Highway.  Like  the  other 
owners  of  property  that  would  be  affected, 
the  Trustees  believed  that  such  a  thor- 
oughfare would  enhance  the  value  of  the 
Virginia  lands.  By  an  act  approved  by 
President  Calvin  Cooldige  on  May  23, 
1928,  Congress  authorized  the  building  of 
the  Memorial  Highway. 

During  the  darkest  days  of  the  depres- 
sion the  Lhiiversity  sold  260  acres  of  its 
Virginia  property  to  the  Smoot  Sand  and 
Gravel  Company  for  the  sum  of  $100,000. 
It  was  a  strip  of  land  which  lay  between 
the  Memorial  Highway  and  the  Potomac 
River.  This  sale  was  a  fortunate  one. 
Because  of  it,  the  University  was  able  to 
tide  the  depression  years.  Of  the  original 
property,  Bucknell  still  possessed  about 
524  acres.  In  May  1948  an  option  agree- 
ment for  purchase  by  sections  of  the  lands 
during  a  period  of  eight  years  was  drawn 
up,  and  on  June  4,  1949,  the  option  agree- 
ments were  signed  and  executed.  The 
purchasers  were  Mr.  Ford  and  Mr.  Gos- 
nell,  of  Arlington,  Virginia,  who  assigned 
to  the  Bucknell  Syndicate,  the  newly 
formed  corporation  for  which  they  acted 
as  trustees. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees 
in  June  1955,  it  was  reported  that  all  con- 
tracts covering  the  Virginia  property  had 
been  completed  and  the  proceeds  amount- 
ed to  $1,080,390.30  and  the  committee  was 
discharged. 

The  story  of  the  ownership  of  the  Vir- 
ginia lands  by  the  L'niversity  revealed  an 
example  of  intelligent  and  faithful  steward- 
ship. Thanks  to  such  stewardship,  two 
relatively  small  gifts  were  made  to  yield 
a  large  return,  not  only  to  Bucknell  but 
also  to  Fairfax  County,  Virginia,  for  the 
LIniversity  was  not  a  wasteful  exploiter  of 
its  lands.  Today  this  property  is  worth 
much  more  to  Fairfax  County  in  beauty 
and  in  money,  than  Bucknell  gained  by  its 
ownership  of  it. 

As  a  landholder,  Bucknell  University 
has  withdrawn  from  the  Northern  Neck 
of  Virginia,  Ijut  its  name  will  long  remain 
in  this  historic  part  of  the  Old  Dominion. 
The  men  who  bought  the  property  not 
only  gave  the  name  of  Bucknell  to  the  syn- 
dicate that  they  formed  for  the  purpose 
of  developing  the  property;  they  also  be- 
stowed upon  one  of  their  developments  on 
this  property  the  name  of  Bucknell  Manor, 
an  attractive  suburban  settlement.     From 


this  settlement  one  may  look  eastward 
across  the  Mount  Vernon  Memorial  High- 
way to  the  quiet  waters  of  the  broad  Po- 
tomac, and  from  an  elevation  called  Buck- 
nell Heights,  within  the  settlement,  one 
may  look  down  upon  the  gracefully  wind- 
ing highway  which  connects  Mount  Ver- 
non and  the  lovely  city  of  Washington,  our 
national  capital.

Liming  '33  Heads  Industrial 
Editors 

William  S.  Liming,  president  of  the  Buck- 
nell University  General  Alumni  Association, 
who  is  manager  of  service  promotion  in  the 
Group  Insurance  Division  of  the  Metro- 
politan Life  Insurance  Company  of  New 
York,  was  elected  president  of  the  American 
Association  of  Industrial  Editors  at  the 
A.AIE  annual  meeting  at  the  Hotel  Commo- 
dore in   New  York  on  March  7. 

Bill  is  another  of  those  Bucknellians  who 
has  stuck  with  the  subject  studied  in  col- 
lege. Journalism  was  his  ambition,  and  he 
has  been  in  some  form  of  it  ever  since  he 
graduated.  In  addition  to  his  managerial 
position  with  Metropolitan  Life,  Bill  edits 
an  employe  publication  news  service  for 
several  thousand  editors  of  Metropolitan 
Group-insured  firms.  He  is  well-known  as 
a  consultant  on  employee  publications  and 
is  the  author  of  several  published  surveys  in 
this  field. 

At  Bucknell,  Bill  edited  L'Agenda  and 
the  Bncknellian,  contributed  to  Bucknell 
Verse  and  produced  the  senior  publication, 
Commencement  Neivs.  He  has  been  doing 
some  form  of  writing  since  then,  starting 
out  by  editing  a  small-town  newspaper 
weekly  in  New  Jersey,  and  later  going  to 
New  York  City  to  enter  daily  newspaper 
work.  During  World  War  II,  he  was  a 
Lieutenant  (jg)  in  the  Navy,  and  had 
charge  of  preparing  training  courses  in  the 
Bureau  of   Personnel,   Washington,  D.   C. 

Bill  is  a  member  of  Tau  Kappa  Epsilon 
fraternity,  formerly  Alpha  Chi  Mu,  and  also 
belongs  to  Pi  Delta  Epsilon  and  Sigma  Tau 
Delta  honoraries. 

Here's  another  of  those  Bucknell  ro- 
mances, too,  for  Bill  is  married  to  the  for- 
mer Ruth  E.  Rohr,  Class  of  1934.  Their 
home  is  on  suburban  Long  Island,  at  396 
-Andrews  Rd.,  East  Williston.  They  have 
two  children,  a  daughter,  Ruth  Gail  and  a 
son,  Robert  Geoffrey. 

On  April  12,  Bill  was  interviewed  on 
Channel    5    WABD-TV   by   Tex    McCrary. 


CHRISTY  MATHEWSON 

(Continued  from  Page  10) 

Christy  had  a  remarkable  memory  of  his 
opponents'  strength  and  weaknesses  and 
pitched  accordingly.  In  the  parable  of  Dives 
and  Lazarus  God's  message  to  the  selfish 
rich  man  was :  "Son,  remember."  And  if  the 
sinner  remembers  surely  the  good  man  will 
not  be  stricken  with  amnesia.  We  shall 
remember  over  there. 

Paul  mentions  a  long  list  of  heroes  and 
heroines  of  the  faith  through  past  centuries 
and  with  the  Olympic  Sports  Arena  in  mind 
says :  "Therefore,  since  we  are  surrounded 
by  so  great  a  cloud  of  witnesses,  let  us  also 
lay  aside  every  weight,  and  sin  whic'n  clings 
so  closely,  and  let  us  run  with  perseverance 
the  race  that  is  set  before  us,  looking  to  Je- 
sus the  pioneer  and  perfecter  of  our  faith , . ." 
So  may  we  run,  as  Christy  ran  in  the  arena 
of  life  and  remember  his  earthly  triumphs  in 
winning  "the  prize  of  the  high  calling  of 
God."     The  past  is  ours  forever.

of  chemistry,  join  us  and  tell  us  about  the 
various  programs  Bucknell  is  carrying 
out.  We  were  very  interested  in  hearing 
about  all  the  new  buildings  springing  up 
and  the  renovations  to  the  old  ones  we 
remember  so  well. 

While  in  Wilmington,  Dr.  Kieft  visited 
the  laboratories  of  the  Dupont  Company 
at  the  E-xperimental  Station  where  he  con- 
ferred with  personnel  in  the  analytical 
section  on  equipment  and  techniques 
which  might  be  adaptable  in  Bucknell's 
chemistry  program. 

Now  that  we  are  formally  organized, 
we  hope  we  will  have  the  opportum'ty  of 
meeting  many  more  Pjiickncilians  at  fu- 
ture meetings.

The  Bucknell  Review 

-  Now  available  at  Bertrand  Library  is  the 
March  issue  of  the  Bucknell  Reviezv,  the 
second  issue  now  including  articles  by  con- 
tributors other  than  Bucknell  faculty  mem- 
bers. Represented  in  these  open  pages  are 
two  professional  men  not  associated  with 
the  university :  Ordvvay  Tead,  a  member  of 
the  Board  of  Higher  Education  of  New 
York  City,  contributes  a  paper  entitled  Col- 
lege Learning  and  Teaching  Reexamined; 
and  Leo  L.  Rockwell,  director  of  the  School 
of  Languages  and  Literature,  Colgate  Uni- 
versity, offers  "Extraordinary  Efflorescence 
of-EE."  Widely  different  essays  they  may 
be,  but  both  are  of  general  interest  to  the 
active,  curious  mind.  Mr.  Tead  writes  for 
teachers  but  comprehends  the  taught  in  his 
attempt  to  evaluate  college  education  in  the 
light  of  recent  psychological  scholarship.  In 
answering  the  question  of  how  a  teacher  can 
impart  a  true,  meaningful,  and  permanent 
learning  experience,  he  advocates  "life-cen- 
tered" learning  that  must  satisfy  the  basic 
needs  of  students  as  individuals,  and  at  the 
same  time  make  them  aware  of  their  place 
in  and  relation  to  the  world  around  them. 
To  give  this  utility  and  meaning  to  his  sub- 
ject-matter, each  teacher  must  be  constantly 
aware  of  the  derivative  values  of  his  in- 
struction ;  he  must  consciously,  methodically 
incorporate  broad,  humanistic  objectives  in 
his  subject.  If  he  does  not,  he  can  expect 
his  students  to  continue  to  memorize  then 
promptly  forget  the  material,  never  to  realize 
what  the  subject-matter  could  mean  in  their 
lives.  Although  Mr.  Tead's  paper  suffers 
from  a  restriction  of  space  w-hich  leads  him 
into  many  inconclusive  statements  and  fre- 
quently into  the  textbook  style  of  mechanical 
enumeration  of  points,  it  is  cogently  written 
by  a  man  obviously  sincere  and  dedicated  to 
the  improvement  of  higher  education. 

Dr.  Rockwell's  paper,  though  much  more 
limited  in  intention  and  scope  than  is  Mr. 
Tead's,  is  given  a  general  application  to  a 
subject  of  interest  to  all  by  an  introduction 
which  enables  the  linguistic  neophyte  to  re- 
late the  emergence  of  the  suffix  '|-ee"  (as 
in  flunkec :  "one  who  has  flunked" )  to  the 
origin  and  development  of  the  English  lan- 
guage, thus  giving  readers  an  idea  of  how 
language  grows.  Beginning  with  brief  re- 
marks about  Anglistics,  the  study  of  En- 
glish, the  writer  gives  a  short  summary  of 
the  history  of  the  language  and  then  traces 
the  development  of  the  suffix  "-ee  from  1495 
to  present  times  and  lists  his  collection  of 
coined  words  using  this  suffix  that  he  noted 
between  1940  and  1954,  the  period  of  efflores- 
cence which  saw  draftee  set  off  a  deluge  of 
similarly  coined  words  such  as  murderee  and 
tippee.  Dr.  Rockwell  makes  a  clear  exposi- 
tion of  this  linguistic  study  and  in  so  doing 
offers  the  reader  an  insight  into  the  often 
complex,  sometimes  illogical,  but  aKvays  in- 
teresting changes  that  make  the  English 
language   a   flexible   tool   of   communication. 

The  Bucknell  faculty  is  best  represented 
by  Dr.  Mildred  Martin,  professor  of  En- 
glish, who  writes  The  Last  Shall  Be  First: 
A  Study  of  Three  Russian  Short  Stories, 
the  stories  being  Dostoevski's  The  Thief, 
Gogol's  The  Cloak,  and  Turgenev's  Biryuk, 
all  of  which  indirectly  express  the  Christian 
truths  of  humility  and  brotherhood.  Writing 
with  clarity  and  a  sure  command  of  subject- 
matter  and  of  thesis.  Dr.  Martin  analyzes 
these  stories  to  demonstrate  ably  that  what 
the  characters  experience  is  experienced 
emotionally  by  the  reader  and  that  this 
"emotional  realization"  given  by  the  stories 
is  a  real  feeling  of  brotherhood  and  humility. 
Thus,  her  thesis  is  that  reading  literature  is 
concrete  experience  that  vividly  and  force- 
fully impresses  upon  us  theological  truths 
that  mean  little  if  we  read  them  expressed 
in  abstract  terms.  This  essay,  too,  is  of 
general  interest;  for,  though  it  deals  with 
only  three  short  stories,  its  thesis  is  applica- 

16 


ble  to  all  literature  which  indirectly  speaks 
to  both  the  heart  and  mind  of  man. 

"Some  Commemorative  Translations  of 
Faust"  is  Dr.  Adolf  I.  Frantz'  contribution 
to  the  Rcviciv.  Long  a  professor  of  German 
at  Bucknell  and  long  a  Goethe  scholar,  Dr. 
Frantz  here  examines  three  translations  of 
Faust,  one  in  prose,  another  in  poetry,  and 
a  third  abridged  version  in  poetry.  What 
this  essay  lacks  in  unity  and  broad  signifi- 
cance is  partly  compensated  for  by  detailed 
accounts  of  form,  poetic  elements,  and  dic- 
tion, which  are  analyzed  in  the  writer's  at- 
tempt to  determine  faithfulness  to  the 
original  in  thought  and  artistic  quality.  The 
essay  gives  a  few  insights  into  the  problems 
faced  by  a  translator  and  offers  the  reader 
some  aid  in  his  choice  of  a  translation  of 
Faust. 

.Altogether,  this  issue  of  the  Bucknell  Rc- 
viczi.'  provides  enjoyable  reading  for  a  wide 
audience.  It  argurs  well  for  the  continued 
success  of  the  new  editorial  policy  of  open 
pages,  and  proves  again  the  quality  of  work 
produced  at  Bucknell.

Dr.  C.  Ruth  Bower  '01 

Honorary  Recognition  was  conferred 
upon  Catherine  Ruth  Bower  of  6214  Ken- 
tucky Avenue,  Pittsburgh,  former  presi- 
dent of  the  Pennsylvania  League  for 
Nursing  Education,  at  the  fifty-first  an- 
nual convention  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Nurses  Association  on  October  20,  1955  in 
the  ballroom  of  the  William  Penn  Hotel 
in  Pittsburgh.  The  award  which  may  be 
given  only  to  two  person  within  a  year,  is 
bestowed  in  tribute  on  those  who  have 
rendered  distinguished  service  and  valu- 
able assistance  to  the  nursing  profession 
in   Pennsylvania. 

The  following  citation  was  given  to  Dr. 
Bower  by  Mrs.  Martha  C.  Forejt,  presi- 
dent of  Pennsylvania  Nurses  Association: 

"Ruth  Bower  is  a  familiar  name  to 
thousands  of  nurses  in  Pennsylvania  and 
to  others  who  have  now  left  our  state.  She 
was  director  of  nursing  at  West  Penn 
from  1920  to  1935,  when  she  went  to  the 
LIniversity  of  Pennsylvania  to  be  one  of 
the  three  nurses  to  open  the  Department 
of  Nursing  Education  under  the  then  new 
School  of  Education.  A  native  of  Pitts- 
burgh, she  received  both  a  bachelor's  and 
a  master's  degree  from  Bucknell  LTniver- 
sity  before  entering  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania  Hospital  School  of  Nurs- 
ing. 

"Among  her  many  contributions  to  the 
nursing  profession  and  to  nursing  educa- 
tion are  her  services,  both  as  member  and 
as  chairman,  of  the  State  Board  of  Nurse 
Examiners.  She  was  president  of  both 
the  District  6  League  and  of  the  state 
league  and  member  of  the  NLNE  Board 
of  Directors.  She  has  also  been  active  in 
PNA.  She  was  chairman  of  the  Commit- 
tee to  Advise  with  the  Nurse  Board  from 
1941  to  1946 — chairman  of  the  Committee 
on  Distribution  of  Nursing  Service  for 
two  years — and  an  active  and  participating 
member  of  the  association  during  her  en- 
tire career. 

"Miss  Bower  is  probably  best  known 
for  her  work  at  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania where  she  taught  hundreds  of  nurs- 
es, bringing  to  them  not  only  the  subject 
matter  of  her  courses,  but  guidance  and 
moral  support  far  beyond  her  obligation 
to  her  students.  Her  example  and  in- 
spiration have  helped  tnany  nurses  be- 
come leaders  in  the  profession,  among 
them  one  of  her  many  students  and   co- 


workers Elizabeth  Porter,  past  president 
of  the  American  Nurses  Association.  We 
know  that  these  nurses  join  with  us  in 
expressing  our  pleasure  at  this  time  in 
giving  Miss  Bower  a  token  of  the  affec- 
tion and  respect  she  has  won  in  this 
state.  This  token  is,  of  course,  the  as- 
sociation's Certificate  of  Honorary  Recog- 
nition." 

Outside  her  professional  organizations, 
Dr.  Bower  has  been  an  active  member  of 
the  American  Association  of  University 
Women,  the  League  of  Women  Voters, 
the  Academy  of  Political  Science,  and 
various  educational  organizations.  In  1934 
Bucknell  awarded  her  the  degree  of  Doc- 
tor of  Science. 

Dr.  Bower  feels  that  her  greatest  con- 
tribution to  the  cause  of  nursing  educa- 
tion was  the  organization  of  the  first  five- 
year  collegiate  program  for  nurses  in  the 
Commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania  which 
she  inaugurated  at  the  Western  Pennsyl- 
vania Hospital  in  1930. 

Her  many  Bucknell  friends  wish  to  ex- 
tend their  congratulations  upon  her  lat- 
est honor.

And  brilliant  pen,  stopped  at  the  nascence  of  his

RUSSELL  E.   DENNIS, 
BURSAR,   DIES 

Russell  E.  Dennis,  University  bursar,  died 
suddenly  on  Feb.  18  as  a  result  of  coronary 
thrombosis.     He  was  47  years  old. 

Mr.  Dennis'  sudden  death  came  as  a 
shock  to  the  campus  family.  In  a  statement 
to  all  of  the  staff,  faculty,  and  students,  John 
F.  Zeller,  assistant  to  the  president,  said : 
"Mr.  Dennis  by  his  diligence  and  efficiency 
had  become  one  of  the  most  valued  officers 
in  the  University.  He  was  an  active  church-

CLASS  REPORTS 


EMERITUS   CLUB 

MISS  MARY  COTTON  '96 
Eldred.  Penna. 

We  are  pleased  to  announce  that  Miss 
Mary  Cotton  '96  has  accepted  the  appoint- 
ment as  Class  Reporter  for  the  Emeritus 
Club  and  that  Colonel  A.  F.  Dershimer  '03 
has  accepted  appointment  as  the  fund 
manager.  Beginning  with  the  next  aca- 
demic year,  he  will  serve  as  Emeritus  fund 
manager  for  all  those  classes  in  the  group 
beginning  with  1885  and  ending  1906  that 
do  not  now  have  a  regularly  appointed 
class  fund  manager.  During  the  past  few 
years,  the  contributions  to  the  Bucknell 
Alumni  Fund  from  members  of  the  emeri- 
tus classes  have  been  on  the  increase  and 
last  year  this  group  of  about  400  veteran 
Alumni  of  the  University,  the  Academy 
and  the  Institute  averaged  3S  percent  par- 
ticipation in  the  fund.  As  this  is  consid- 
erably above  the  average  of  all  classes  (21 
percent),  the  officers  of  the  club  feel  that 
with  an  emeritus  fund  manager,  the  con- 
tributions will  become  even  more  numer- 
ous. As  mentioned  above,  classes  now 
having  regularly  appointed  class  fund  man- 
agers will  continue  to  operate  as  hereto- 
fore, while  Col.  Dershimer  will  serve  for 
those  emeritus  classes  that  do  not  have 
a  regularly  appointed  class  fund  manager. 

Charles  Firth  '96,  a  member  of  the  Kap- 
pa Sigma  fraternity,  died  at  his  family 
home  in  Arlington  Heights,  111.,  March 
2.  He  was  former  dean  of  the  Grand 
Island  Baptist  College,  Nebraska. 

As  a  student  at  Bucknell,  Charles  intro- 
duced basketball  to  the  campus  and  played 
tor  three  years  on  the  football  team.  In 
1895  he  was  manager  of  the  football  team. 
He  attended  the  University  of  Chicago  for 
three  years  where  he  played  end  and 
quarterback  on  the  football  team.  He  was 
a  member  of  the  C  Club  of  the  University 
of  Chicago. 

He  had  ser\-ed  as  pastor  of  the  LaVerne, 
Minn.,  Baptist  Church  and  also  of  the 
Frazee,  Minn.,  church.  He  was  very  ac- 
tive in  YMCA  work  and  had  done  national 
YMCA  work  with  the  army  for  five  years. 

Surviving  are  his  wife,  the   former  Jo- 
anna B.  Berry,  a  daughter.  Miss  Margaret 
Firth  of  Arlington  Heights,   111.  to  whom 
sympathy  is  e.xtended. 
1  pledge  myself  to  be  a  good  citizen. 
To  love  God  and  my  fellows. 
To  be  honest  and  speak  the  truth. 
To    try   to   do   to   others   as   I    would   have   them    do 

to  me. 
And  alwnvs  be  kind  and  courteous. 

The  above  pledge  was  attached  to  a  re- 
cent note  from  Dr.  William  Van  V.  Hayes 
'88  The  pledge  written  on  a  plaf|ue  he 
recently  placed  on  the  wall  of  the  (jreen- 
wich  Boys'  Club,  Greenwich,  Conn.,  of 
which  he  is  a  director,  well  exemplifies 
Dr.  Hayes'  own  creed  for  a  useful  life. 
He  has  been  a  practicing  physician  in  New 
V'ork  City  since  1896  and  was  a  professor 
at  N.  V.  Polyclinic  for  many  years.  He  is 
still  consultant  in  gastro-entcrology.  lie

Dr.  H'<ycs  is  one  nf  the  oldest  officials  of 
the  YMCA  Board  of  Directors  in  K.  Y.. 
and  has  been  an  elder  of  the  Brick  Presby- 
terian Church  for  50  years, 

l.)r.  Hayes  writes,  "I  am  very  proud  of 
Bucknell,  aii'l  feel  that  in  rcrcnl  years 
there  ha.s  been  a  rlistinct  spiritual  develop- 
ment on  the  campus," 

It  was  he  and  a  fellow  student  who  se- 
lected Bucknell'K  school  color.s — orange 
and  blue,  which  have  been  retained  by  ihe 
I'nivcrsity.  He  was  awarded  an  honorary 
decree  at  P.uckncll  in  1940, 

Alumni  Headquarters  has  received  sev- 
eral copies  of  the  article  which  appeared  in 
.M  A  V    I  «  .-.  0 


the  -Vra'  York  Times,  Sunday,  Nov.  27,  1955 
about  Britain  G.  Roth,  believed  to  be  dean 
of  working  newspaper  men,  who  cele- 
brated his  94th  birthday  on  Nov.  22  by 
working  as  usual  at  his  desk  in  the  news- 
room of  The  Allentozcn  Evening  Chronicle. 

He  attended  the  Academy  for  the  term 
of  1875-76  when  14  years  old.  The  article 
states  that  he  and  other  boys  smashed  all 
the  windows  on  one  side  of  the  dormitory 
Iniilding.  After  paying  his  son's  share  of 
the  damage  his  father  told  him  that  he 
didn't  send  him  away  to  school  to  break 
windows,  and  withdrew  him  from  the 
-A-cademy.  He  soon  took  a  job  as  a  print- 
er's devil  at  The  Chronicle.  In  the  years 
since  then  he  has  never  worked  at  anything 
except  printing  and  writing. 

From  The  Chronicle  his  trail  led  to  cities 
in  New  York,  Georgia  and  Ohio,  before 
returning  to  Allentown  as  a  cub  reporter 
in  1902. 

He  is  better  known  as  "Old  Timer"  or 
"Brit"  to  intimates. 

We  were  sorry  to  learn  that  because  of 
ill  health,  Franklin  I,  Sigmund  '95  has 
been  confined  to  his  room  since  June 
1955.     His  address  is  Mickleton,  N.  J.

A  letter  from  Mrs.  Homer  Dowlin 
brought  us  news  of  the  death  of  her  hus- 
band on  Jan.  9.  While  a  student  at  Buck- 
nell, Homer  was  a  member  of  the  Phi 
Kappa  Psi  fraternity. 

A  letter  from  Rev.  James  M.  Paterson, 
106  MuUin  Rd.,  Hilltop  Manor,  Wilming- 
ton, Del.,  brought  to  mind  many  fond 
memories — among  them,  our  football  vic- 
tory over  State  College,  12-10.  At  the  age 
of  93,  attained  Fel).  16,  he  says  he  still 
prefers  the  challenge  of  winter's  blasts 
to  tropical  sunshine.  He  was  born  in 
Glasgow,  Scotland  in  1863.  Perhaps  that 
helps  to  explain  his  preference. 

Mrs.  George  F.  Sober  (Frances  Mont- 
gomery) of  Bryan,  Ohio  reported  her  at- 
tendance at  a  Bucknell  Alumni  luncheon 
in  St.  Petersburg,  Fla.  in  February.  "Of 
the  twenty  Bucknellians  present,"  she 
proudly  confesses,  "none  there  dated  as 
far  back  as  I  did." 

Your  class  reporter  and  fund  manager 
spent  the  winter  in  West  Palm  Beach,

Teufel  taking  a  bride  several  weeks  ago 
surprised  Haldy.  But  then  he  took  unto 
himself  a  wife  four  years  ago.  Warning: 
You  folks  approaching  80  be  alert.  Like 
Grandma  Moses,  his  hobby  is  oil  painting. 
Going  abroad  and  to  Florida  helps  him 
keep  fit  so  he  can  swing  his  paint  brush. 
He  says  "hello"  to  all  of  you. 

Roger  S.  Edwards,  alias  "Rog,"  says  he 
is  no  different  than  he  was  two  years  ago. 
He  checked  my  letter  to  you  folks.  It 
should  happen  to  a  minister.  No  question- 
ing please.  He  advises  that  I  should  get 
a  two-base  pinch  hit  then  all  of  you  will 
be  cheered. 

Margaret  B.  Groff,  alias  ???,  retired 
as  head  of  the  mathematics  department, 
Germantown  Senior  High  School,  several 
years  ago.  She  is  now  living  at  Chester 
Heights  with  her  sister  Frances.  When 
speaking  of  Margaret,  I  always  think  of 
her  famous  father.  Dr.  George  G.  Groff, 
professor  of  organic  sciences. 

John  C.  Johnson,  alias  "Johnny,"  is  in 
the  market  for  an  Alumni  Trusteeship. 
Johnny  is  still  active  in  the  insurance 
business,  acting  as  pension  consultant. 
His  daughter  Dorothy  is  an  M.D.  and 
has  been  practicing  for  17  years  and  is 
very  able,  too.  She  is  now  vice  president 
of  the  State  Medical  Association. 

Mrs.  William  S.  Kuder  (Blanche  A. 
Bane),  alias  "Poetess,"  has  had  a  full  in- 
teresting life.  One  son,  who,  as  Colonel 
Kuder,  spent  six  years  in  the  Army,  grad- 
uating from  private  to  colonel,  served  on 
the  board  that  tried  the  Japanese  war 
criminals.  He  is  now  in  the  law  depart- 
ment of  the  Pacific  Gas  &  Electric  Com- 
pany. Blanche's  husband  practiced  medi- 
cine in  Oakland,  Calif,  for  40  years.  She 
is  much  interested  in  the  Children's  Hos- 
pital of  the  East  Bay. 

Your  Class  Reporter,  Harry  E.  McCor- 

mick,  alias  "Stern"  or  "Moose,"  has  had 
a  checkered  career.  First,  the  books,  then 
sports,  then  the  steel  business,  then  old 
Bucknell,  then  West  Point,  then  Mitchel 
Field,  then  back  to  Lewisburg  as  an  at- 
tendant. Now  trying  to  do  something  that 
Bee  Bee  Shott  forced  on  me. 

Elizabeth  Merrill,  alias  "&,"  is  now  li- 
brarian of  Blossburg  Memorial  Library, 
Blossburg.  She  retired  from  teaching  in 
1948.  Her  son  is  working  in  Dallas,  Texas 
and  has  two  children.  Her  daughter,  mar- 
ried and  living  in  Blossburg,  has  one 
child. 

Louis  W.  Robey,  alias  "Batter,"  says: 
"I  haven't  done  anything  exciting  recent- 
ly." He  is  very  happy  over  Bucknell's 
successes  the  past  few  years.     We  all  are. 

David  W.  Robinson,  alias  "Robbie,"  has 
made  quite  a  tour  of  this  country  since 
attendance  at  our  50th  Reunion.  Robbie 
has  seen  several  good  hospitals  while  ca- 
vorting in  the  East.  In  1954,  at  Easton, 
Md.,  he  ran  into  a  chap  called  "Moose." 
"Talking  about  one's  ego  being  deflated, 
he  didn't  even  know  me,"  says  "Moose." 
This  occurred  at  the  Tidewater  Inn,  the 
best  small  hotel  in  the  country  (my  plug). 
Since  then  Robbie  has  been  taking  it  easy, 
per  orders  of  all  doctors  in  Florida  and 
the  State  Police.  His  message  to  "Gin- 
ger" Teufel,  "more  power  to  you."  He 
sends  his  best  regards  to  all. 

John  H.  Stahl,  alias  "Silent,"  (That  "si- 
lent" doesn't  mean  a  thing!),  asked  many 
questions  in  answering  your  correspond- 
ent's letter.  If  he  sees  this,  the  name  is 
"falls."  He  claims  to  have  known  "Gin- 
ger" Teufel  as  a  boy,  but  Teufel  denies  it. 
He  is  not  Japanese,  though  he  lives  in 
Bogota,  N.  J.  Ask  him  for  an  appraisal. 
20 


Charles  Teufel,  alias  "Ginger,"  is  still 
helpful.  He  sent  the  newspaper  clipping 
advising  of  the  Bibby  death.  The  same 
paper  recently  carried  an  account  of  his 
following  "Haldy"  Christ's  action.  "Gin- 
ger" is  still  active  in  church  work  and 
community  activities.

to  Bucknell  this  June. 

Edith  Fetherston  writes:  "March  17  I 
was  in  Washington  for  the  preview  invi- 
tation opening  of  the  Kress  art  exhibition 
at  the  National  Gallery  of  Art.  Thirteen 
thousand  treasured  medals,  plaquettes  and 
statuettes  from  the  Renaissance  as  well  as 
painting  masterpieces  from  the  early  Ital- 
ian Renaissance,  the  Florentine  and  Vene- 
tian schools,  Flemish,  German,  French  and 
Spanish  artists  were  on  exhibit.  My  favor- 
ites were  Hans  Baldung's  "St.  Anne  with 
the  Christ  Child,  the  Virgin  and  St.  John 
the  Baptist,"  and  Francois  Clouet's  "Diane 
de  Poitiers." 

During  the  fall  of  1939,  through  the  in- 
spiration and  generosity  of  Edith,  a  group 
of  art-loving  Lewisburgers  organized  the 
Central  Pennsylvania  Art  Association  for 
the  purpose  of  providing  residents  of  the 
area  an  opportunity  to  exhibit  their  works 
of  pictorial  art.  On  April  15  the  associa- 
tion held  its  ninth  annual  exhibition  in 
Roberts  Hall.  About  100  entries  were  re- 
ceived. 

Dr.  Robert  B.  Mackey  and  his  wife  ex-

honor  of  Dr.  Dayton  L.  Ranck  '16,  vice 
president  and  director  of  development  of 
Bucknell.  The  Smileys  expect  to  attend 
Commencement  this  year. 

Good  news  concerning  Judge  Paul 
Smith.  Reports  are  that  he  is  improving 
in  health.     Great  guy,   "Our  Dippy!"

Lewisburg,  Penna. 


;t'    REUNE  IN  JUNE 
The  Grim  Reaper  has  taken  two  mem- 
bers of  our  class. 

Rev.  William  T.  Coverdale  died  on  Jan. 
27,  at  Lake  City.  The  day  before  his 
death  he  had  filled  out  the  questionnaire 
for  our  Golden  Jubilee  Reunion  Book. 
While  at  Bucknell,  he  was  affectionately 
known  as  "Pop,"  and  had  served  as  presi- 
dent of  the  sophomore  class.  He  was  a 
retired  Baptist  minister  at  the  time  of  his 
death. 

Another  classmate,  Linn  Clark  Drake, 
died  Feb.  8  at  his  home  in  Washington, 
D.  C.  He  was  a  former  district  Boy  Scout 
executive  who  began  his  career  as  a  Bap- 
tist minister.  He  established  the  Drexel 
Hill  Baptist  Church  near  Philadelphia  and 
served  there  12  years.  Until  his  retire- 
ment in  1944,  he  had  served  as  an  execu- 
tive with  the  National  Capital  Area  Scout 
Council  for  18  years.  He  had  received 
the  Silver  Beaver  Scouting  Award  and  the 
Boys'  Club  Distinguished  Award  for  ser- 
vice to  boys.  He  was  the  father  of  four 
daughters. 


That  irrepressible  bundle  of  assorted 
energies,  Coit  Hoechst,  is  now  in  the  mid- 
dle of  a  two-year  job  of  five  oil  paintings 
commissioned  by  the  superintendent  of 
schools  in  Pittsburgh.  Coit  says  he  in- 
tends to  retire  at  the  University  of  Pitts- 
burgh next  fall;  we  don't  believe  it.  As 
an  avocation,  he  is  now  illuminating  a  big 
album  for  Grove  City  Alumni. 

Belated  word  has  come  of  the  death  of 
Theodore  Bland  Hoy.  Theodore  was  our 
commuter  classmate,  making  the  two-mile 
trip  from  Montandon  "daily  except  Sun- 
day." After  college  he  established  him- 
self in  New  York  City  and  studied  law. 
His  legal  studies  brought  him  not  only 
the  usual  LL.B.,  but  also  the  LL.M.  and 
later  the  distinguished  J.D.  from  New 
York  University.  His  successful  practice 
did  not  permit  his  frequent  attendance  at 
reunions,  but  he  and  Mrs.  Hoy  were  pres- 
ent in  1947,  Theodore  looking  almost  ex- 
actly as  he  had  in  college.  The  last  Alum- 
ni Fund  included  a  generous  gift  in  mem- 
ory of  him.  We  shall  miss  him  at  our 
fiftieth. 

Gilbert  Perez  has  been  awarded  an- 
other distinguished  honor.  He  has  been 
named  "Father  of  Vocational  Education 
in  the  Philippines"  and  given  a  plaque  and 
a  citation.  Since  his  retirement  as  chief 
of  the  Vocational  Education  Division,  Bu- 
reau of  Public  Schools,  he  has  acted  as 
technical  adviser.  The  program  of  the 
Christmas  Season  Exhibits  of  the  Philip- 
pine School  of  Arts  and  Trades  features 
an  excellent  portrait  of  our  distinguished 
friend.  Those  who  remember  his  stories 
of  the  difficult  time  he  had  in  developing 
an  appreciation  of  vocational  education  a 
generation  ago  will  know  how  he  values 
this  recognition  of  his  life-work.  We  hope 
he  will  be  back  to  repeat  some  of  those 
wonderful  stories  at  our  fiftieth. 

Tom  Schultz  is  still  on  the  move.  This 
spring  he  is  changing  his  address  from 
Spenard,  Alaska  to  Kasilof,  Alaska.  We're 
still  waiting  for  the  letter  he  promised  to 
write.  Tom  got  his  contribution  to  the 
Alumni  Fund  in  early.     How  about  you? 

Renegade  Paul  Stolz  who  dropped  out 
of  the  best  class  Bucknell  ever  had  to  join 
the  vastly  inferior  bunch  which  finished  in 
1908,  shows  signs  of  repentance.  During 
a  holiday  in  Geisinger  Hospital  he  had 
time  to  consider  his  sins;  result,  he  would 
like  to  be  host  to  our  class  during  part  of 
Alumni  afternoon,  June  8,  1957.  Paul 
thinks  he  swiped  enough  crutches  and 
wheel  chairs  at  Geisinger  to  accommodate 
us.     What  say,  fellahs  and  gals? 

(Editor's  Note)  In  true  Rockwellian 
fashion,  Leo  has  again  passed  over  lightly 
a  well-deserved  recognition  that  has  re- 
cently come  his  way.  I  wish  we  had  the 
time  to  quote  in  its  entirety  the  excellent 
article  about  Leo  that  appeared  in  a  re- 
cent newsletter  to  parents  published  by 
Colgate  University.  However,  we  must 
not  miss  the  last  few  paragraphs  where 
the  writer  says  this  about  Leo: 

"Today,  even  in  Hamilton's  severe  win- 
ters, Leo  can  be  seen  walking  up  the  hill 
to  class,  a  feat  few  younger  men  want  to, 
or  do,  undertake.  His  desk  is  always  piled 
high  with  division  and  department  busi- 
ness as  well  as  with  student  papers  from 
the  classes  he  teaches  in  English  language 
and  in  the  Core  Curriculum;  yet  he  also 
finds  time  to  be  interested  in  and  con- 
cerned with  university-wide  activities.  In 
this  he  sometimes  merely  goads  others 
into  action;  sometimes  plays  the  devil's 
advocate;  sometimes  proposes  action  that 
make  others  in  faculty  meetings  catch 
their  breath.  But  whatever  he  suggests, 
it    is    always    something    that    has    to    be 

MAY    1956 


thought  about.  Nothing  he  says  can  ever 
be  taken  lightly.  He  is  also  an  inveterate 
writer  of  letters-to-editors  in  the  New  York 
Times  and  other  newspapers  and  magazines. 

"WTien  you  come  to  Hamilton,  stop  in 
and  meet  Dr.  Rockwell  at  his  office  on  the 
top  floor  of  Lawrence  Hall.  He  will  drop 
ever>-thing  he  is  doing  to  talk  with  you, 
not  because  he  feels  he  has  to,  but  because 
he  zcaiits  to.  He  likes  people  and  he  likes 
to  talk  to  the  parents  of  his  students. 

"And  if  by  any  chance  you  happen  to 
come  from  Pennsylvania,  he'll  never  let  you 
leave  the  office!"

John  J.  Gibney  has  issued  an  invitation 
to  all  his  classmates  to  stop  at  Lenape 
Park,  when  visiting  in  beautiful  Chester 
County  and  ask  for  Jack  Gibnej^  owner 
and  operator. 

Splendid  reports  of  the  recovery  of 
Clyde  Hostetter  have  been  brought  back 
to  Lewisburg  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Roy  Birch- 
ard  who  recently  saw  Clyde  in  his  Florida 
home. 

Paul  Stolz  is  hale  and  hearty  again  af- 
ter his  hospital  sojourn.  He  and  Charles 
Nicely  of  Watsontown  recently  had  an 
evening  together.  I  venture  to  say  much 
of  the  conversation  concerned  the  Class 
of  1908. 

Carl  Sprout  writes  that  he  hears  from 
none  of  you.  If  you  send  him  any  news 
that's  printable,  send  me  a  copy,  too. 

Reunion  in  1958!  Now  is  the  time  to 
make  our  plans  for  a  memorable  get-to- 
gether that  will  top  all  others  of  its  kind. 
Suggestions  as  to  the  activities  of  the  day 
will  be  welcomed  by  Carl  Sprout  or  Paul 
Stolz.  Of  course  we  will  dine  with  all 
leuning  classes  at  noon,  but  one  sugges- 
tion for  '08ers  is  a  9:30  breakfast.  Write 
to  the  committee.  Let's  pool  our  ideas 
and  come  up  with  a  day  that  will  be  com- 
pletely satisfj'ing  to  all  of  us.

At  the  Bucknell  L'niversity  Alumni  cov- 
ered dish  luncheon  on  St.  Patrick's  Day. 
the  Class  of  1909  was  well  represented.  In 
addition  to  the  old  standbys,  George  Ball- 
ets and  your  Class  reporter,  Mrs,  Elizabeth 
Mulford  Thomas  and  Gilbert  Lyte  were 
present.  Beth's  address  is:  Mrs.  A.  W. 
Thomas,  41  California,  Sea  Shell  Hotel, 
Clearwater  Beach,  Fla.  Gilbert  has  bought 
a  home  at  731  68th  Ave.,  South  St.,  Peters- 
burg, Fla.,  where  he  and  his  wife  expect 
to  reside  after  June  1.  They  came  here 
from  Indianapolis,  Ind.  He  says  he  has 
never  been  back  on  the  campus  since  1909. 
What  changes  and  surprises  he  will  find 
when  and  if  he  returns  for  our  50th! 

Excerpts  from  a  newsy  letter  from  Ans- 
ley  Claypoole.  Wish  we  could  print  it  all. 
He  writes,  "In  1948  I  resigned  a  pastorate 
in  Charlevoix,  "The  Beautiful',  in  northern 
Michigan,  and  tried  to  retire,  but  GofI  hafl 
yet  much  work  for  me  to  flo.  In  a  few 
months  after  coming  to  Ypsilanti,  I  be- 
came chaplain  at  Byer  Memorial  Hospital. 
I  am  completing  my  seventh  year  in  this 
u.scful  and  inspiring  work.  I  visit  some 
2500  new  mothers  and  thousands  of  other 
patients  each  year.  I  also  serve  as  interim 
pastor  at  the  First  Baptist  (Church  of 
South  Haven,  Mich.,  on  the  western  shore 
of  Lake  Michigan.  We  plan  to  return  for 
the  (if>]'\cn  (Mass  Kcunion  in  1959,"  The 
Claypooles  have  three  daughters. 

Did  you  notice  in  Newton  Fetter's  Buck- 
nell Alumni  Fund  leiicr  this  bit  of  good 
news — Guy  Payne  and  John  Shirley  made 

M  A  V    I  »  3  6 


special  gifts  and  Richard  Darlington,  de- 
ceased, left  $150,000  to  Bucknell?  Quoting 
further  from  Newton's  communication: 
"We  are  retired  and  living  in  Blooming 
Grove,  Pike  County.  I  received  a  Bache- 
lor of  Theology-  degree  from  Colgate- 
Rochester  Divinity  School;  a  DD  degree 
and  Phi  Beta  Kappa  membership  from 
Bucknell.  I  have  been  back  to  Bucknell 
a  number  of  times  for  Religion-in-Life 
Week.  Mrs.  Fetter  is  a  graduate  of 
Bloomsburg.  We  have  two  children,  Emi- 
ly Bergen  and  Edmund  '46." 

Other  sunshine  seekers  surprised  this 
reporter  by  calling  lately.  Matt  Haggerty, 
his  wife  (Olive  Long  '12),  their  daugh- 
ter, Mrs.  W.  H.  Miller  (Gloria  Haggerty 
'44)  and  her  son.  W^e  were  happy  to  wel- 
come them  to  our  fine  city. 

Go  to  a  library  and  find  "Bee  Culture 
in  Mexico"  by  Malcolm  Scott  Hallman. 
He  sent  me  a  copy  reprinted  from  the  Amer- 
ican Bee  Journal,  Dec.  1955  issue.  You  will 
find  it  a  most  fascinating  article  with  plen- 
ty of  humor  and  scientific  knowledge. 
Malcolm  finds  time  to  ride  half  a  dozen 
hobbies.  Next  fall  and  winter  he  and  his 
wife  plan  to  travel  in  Europe. 

We  were  sorry  to  learn  of  the  death  of 
Paul  M.  Iseman  on  June  20,  1955  at  Seat- 
tle. Wash. 

Thanks  to  John  Shirley  for  his  good  let- 
ter which  put  us  on  the  track  of  Clyde 
and  Dorothy  Bailey  '29.  who  spent  some 
time  at  Clearwater  Beach,  Fla.  this  season. 
We  agree  that  they  are  fine  people  to 
know.

Mr,  and  Mrs.  Roy  Fulton  (Elizabeth 
Stage)  and  Elizabeth's  sister.  Bertha, 
spent  a  delightful  two  months  traveling 
in   Europe  last  summer. 

Mabel  Christian  Jury  died  very  sudden- 
ly on  Nov.  12,  1955,  at  Collegeville,  as  she 
and  her  husband  were  making  prepara- 
tions to  leave  for  a  vacation  in  Florida. 
Mabel  graduated  from  the  School  of  Mu- 
sic with  our  class.  Her  husband  is  in  the 
construction  business  in  Collegeville. 

After  retirement  in  Nov.  1955,  George 
T.  Street,  Jr.  with  his  wife  Margaret  and 
his  brother  "Reg."  who  has  frequently 
visited  the  campus,  went  to  St.  Petersburg, 
Fla.  early  in  January  to  spend  the  remain- 
der of  the  winter.  A  spinal  injury  con- 
fined him  to  the  house  for  five  weeks  but 
he  was  able  to  attend  and  enjoy  the  St. 
Petersburg-Bucknell  Alumni  Meeting  on 
March  17,  as  was  your  Class  Reporter. 
George  asked  me  to  assure  everyone  in- 
terested that  he  is  as  good  as  new  again 
and  is  enjoying  the  Florida  sunshine.

Spring  came  "Ijreezin"  in  on  llie  appoint- 
ed day  with  a  poor  little  old  robin  all 
humped  up  on  a  limb  and  seven  iiielies  of 
snow  on  the  ground, 

A   note   from    Howard   Johnson:    "You 


will  note  that  you  can't  keep  a  retired 
man  down!  As  I  am  semi-retired,  I  am 
preaching  each  Sunday  near  Red  Bank, 
where  there  are  hundreds  of  new  homes 
at  Lincroft.  I  live  near  the  new  Garden 
State  Parkway  at  the  State  Yacht  Basin 
and  go  to  church  near  the  Parkway  at  Red 
Bank.  There  are  a  few  Bucknellians  in 
the  community." 

Dr.  John  R.  Conover,  1441  Pueblo 
Drive,  Pittsburgh,  writes  that  he  retired 
from  medical  practice  March  31,  and  has 
joined  the  ranks  of  the  retired. 

Adding  new  duties  in  the  field  of  social 
welfare  is  old  stuff  for  Dr.  Stanley  P. 
Davies,  but  you  should  know  that  Stanley 
has  been  made  chairman  of  the  Central 
Planning  Board  of  the  Welfare  and  Health 
Council  in  New  Y'ork. 

A.  Oscar  Wolfe,  32  East  26th  St.,  Tulsa, 
Okla.,  recently  became  a  Fellow  of  the 
American  Society  of  Mechanical  Engi- 
neers. He  has  achieved  acknowledged  en- 
gineering attainments  for  a  period  of  25 
years.  He  was  chief  engineer  in  the  con- 
struction of  the  "Big  Inch"  and  "Little 
Big  Inch"  pipelines.  He  is  married  to  the 
former  Lucy  Loane  and  they  have  one 
son,  Anton  '35. 

Both  Fred  Igler  and  Patty  Conner  sent 
me  clippings  announcing  the  death  of 
Sherman  Welchons  who  passed  away 
January  28  at  his  home,  268  Ashbourne 
Rd.,  Elkins  Park.  He  had  taught  for  35 
years  at  Cheltenham  High  School  and  at 
his  death  was  a  teacher  at  Columbia  In- 
stitute— Taylor  School. 

He  received  his  master's  degree  at  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania.  He  also  at- 
tended the  Philadelphia  Textile  Institute. 
Surviving  are  his  wife,  Jessie,  and  two 
children,  Mrs.  Marylou  Arnold  and  Mrs. 
Barbara  Murray. 

Frank  V.  Frambes  died  suddenly  on  De- 
cember 29,  1955,  in  the  Johnstown  Hospi- 
tal as  a  result  of  a  fall  earlier  that  day 
on  the  icy  sidewalk.  He  was  engaged  in 
the  hearing  aid  business  in  Johnstown. 

This  from  Patty  Conner: 

"I  suppose  you  have  already  heard  about  Sher- 
man Welchons.  Just  to  be  sure  you  know,  I  cut 
this  from  the  paper. 

"I  retired  June  30  so  Alberta  and  I  plan  a  good 
deal  of  traveling  (ten  grandchildren  to  visit.  2  in 
Texas,  2  in  Nebraska.  1  in  Florida,  2  in  Virginia, 
3  in  New  Jersey,  none  in  Pennsylvania!.  In  a  year 
or  two  we  may  go  around  the  world  in  a  freighter 
just  for  variety! 

"Have  any  plans  been  made  for  June,  1967?  May- 
be at  least  10  of  us  will  be  left  to  celebrate  our  45th 
so  I  think  each  remaining  one  should  be  urged  to 
attend, 

"Alberta  and  I  plan  to  be  back  for  Commence- 
ment again  this  June,  Some  of  us  should  get  to- 
gether then  and  start  things  for  1957. 

"We  enjoyed  your  class  letters  thoroughly.  You 
are  doing  a  marvelous  job.    Keep  it  up," 

Our  next  big  day  on  the  calendar  is 
Mother's  Day.  Since  we  have  had  our 
day,  I  thought  it  would  be  fitting  to  toast 
the  young  mothers,  our  daughters. 

Today's  mother  is  still  the  hardest- 
working  member  of  the  family,  make  no 
mistake.  There's  no  appliance  for  look- 
ing after  a  4-year  old  and  very  few  maiden 
aunts  around  (and  no  room  to  put  one 
up  in  our  tiny  modern  houses  anyway). 

Motlierhood  is  always  threatening  to 
become  a  24  Iiour  job  but  niollu-r  holds 
her  ground.  She  doesn't  ali.mdon  iier  oili- 
er posts  as  wife,  citizen  and  woman  of 
the  church.  She  even  liangs  on  to  her 
idcnlily  as  a  human  being;  insists  on  look- 
ing like  a  woman,  not  a  rag  heaj),  and 
now  and  again   finds  time  to  read  a  book. 

As  she  is  counselor  as  well  as  servant 
to  her  Uiree  to  five  youngsters,  she  some- 
liiiw  manages  to  Uee])  abreast  of  hygiene,^ 
psychology,  eti(|Uctte,  .'iMd  vocational 
guidance.  On  top  of  that  she  often  Uiiows 
more  about  politics  than  lier  IuisIj.iihI,  .•md 
ran  counsel  him  when  tliev  go  to  llie  imlls. 

21 


As  she  belongs  to  the  human  race  not 
the  angelic  choir,  Mother  may  lose  her 
temper  when  the  27th  salesman  rings  her 
bell  but  soon  she's  back  with  her  sense 
of  humor,  her  diplomacy,  and  her  unpre- 
tentious wisdom. 

I'm  going  to  "hound"  all  of  you  till  you 
promise  to  be  at  our  reunion  in  June 
1957.  If  Pop's  gout  gets  better,  I  may 
stop  in  to  say  "hello"  to  all  of  you  before 
next  June.

Our  sympathy  is  extended  to  Howard 
Fisher  whose  mother  passed  away  Feb.  17 
in  Tarpon  Springs,  Fla. 

Hazel  Galloway  Hemphill  has  changed 
addresses  in  Portland,  Ore.,  from  Hilltop 
Lane  to  134  N.  W.  48th  Ave.  Her  family 
consists  of  two  sons,  Bob  and  John,  and 
three  grandchildren.  "I  feel  especially 
blessed  that  I  can  see  my  grandchildren 
grow  up,"  she  writes.  She  is  a  very  busy 
person  with  her  gardening,  her  family, 
and  her  painting  activities.  She  exhibited 
two  paintings  in  the  Portland  Art  Muse- 
um's first  amateur  show.  She  recently 
served  as  a  hostess  on  the  World  Affairs 
Council  of  Portland  and  Oregon.  She 
had  the  delightful  experience  of  entertain- 
ing Judge  Felix  Markasian  of  the  Philip- 
pines; Dr.  Suri,  a  Hindu  philosopher,  a 
member  of  the  religious  Society  of 
Friends,  and  Paul  Sekiya,  a  Quaker  from 
Japan,  whose  father  was  a  steward  of  the 
royal  household.  She  regrets  that  she 
missed  our  40th  Reunion  in  1953,  especial- 
ly since  she  had  been  in  Lewisburg  a  short 
time  before.  We  hope  to  see  her  at  our 
45th!  Wish  I  could  print  Hazel's  entire 
letter,  but  John  Shott's  '22  red  or  blue 
pencil  must  not  be  tempted  too  far. 

In  March  James  F.  "Jim"  McClure  was 
elected  to  the  presidency  of  the  Buffalo 
Valley_  Telephone  Co.,  Lewisburg.  This 
office  is  an  added  responsibility  to  many 
others  he  carries.

Woodhaven  Rd.,  Eggertsville,  N,  Y.  The 
third  edition  of  her  book,  entitled  Gold,  was 
published  in  September.  She  is  a  member

MR.  ROTARY  OP  THE  MILLBURN  CLUB 
Jo  Golightly  was  inducted  into  Rotary  on  January 
23,  1934. 

Since  that  time  he  has  had  22  years  ol  perfect  at- 
tendance. 

Jo  was  President  of  the  Club,  1940-41. 

Jo  attended  the  International  Conference  at  Ha- 
vana, Cuba  in  1940. 

(Also  other  conventions  in  St.  Louis,  Chicago,  New

Jo  was  District  Governor,   1943-1944. 

Jo  has  been  District  Treasurer  from  1944  to  the 
present  time. 

This  is  a  record  of  which  we  are  all  most  envious. 
Best  of  luck  for  another  22  years  of  perfect  at- 
tendance. 

We  congratulate  Joe  on  this  tribute 
from  his  club  and  know  the  high  esteem 
in  which  he  is  held  is  well-merited. 

In  early  February  a  note  from  Ruth 
Hoffa  Rice,  reports  continued  progress  in 
Jack's  health.  He  may  go  to  the  office 
several  hours  a  day  and  may  teach  a  two- 
hour  lecture  course  this  semester.  Next 
fall  he  may  take  over  his  courses  in  bac- 
teriology.

REV.  FREDERICK  GRENINGER 
7710  Hamilton  Ave., 
Pittsburgh,  Penna. 


It  is  with  sorrow  that  we  have  learned 
of  the  death  of  William  E.  Bott  on  June 
19,  1955.  He  had  been  chief  electrical  en- 
gineer with  the  American  Bridge  Co.,  in 
Ambridge,  for  many  years. 

Dwite  H.  Schaffner,  widely  known  Ak- 
ron, Ohio  attorney  and  that  city's  only 
World  War  I  Congressional  Medal  of 
Honor  winner,  died  on  Nov.  22,  1955.  He 
suffered  a  heart  attack  as  he  walked 
toward  the  Courthouse  from  his  office. 

In  addition  to  serving  during  World 
War  I,  Mr.  Schaffner,  who  lived  at  296 
Grace  St.,  served  in  the  army  for  three 
and  one-half  years  during  World  War  II, 
being  discharged  as  lieutenant  colonel. 

The  Medal  of  Honor  was  bestowed  upon 
him  in  1923  in  a  public  ceremony  in  Ak- 
ron. It  has  been  recommended  that  the 
North-South  Expressway  in  Ohio  be 
named  the  "Dwite  Schaffner  Expressway." 

He  graduated  from  Bucknell  in  1915 
and  a  year  later  earned  his  master's  de- 
gree here.  He  was  graduated  from  the 
University  of  Michigan  Law  School  and 
was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1920.  While  at 
Bucknell  he  played  varsity  basketball  and 
football  four  years  captaining  the  basket- 
ball team  twice  and  the  football  team  once. 

He  is  survived  by  his  wife  Elma,  two 
daughters,  and  six  grandchildren.  He  was 
a  brother  of  Mrs.  DoUie  Schaffner  Deitrich 
'25  (married  to  John  J.  Deitrich  '23)  and 
an  uncle  of  Mrs.  Dollie  Deitrich  Wilson

«?•  REUNE  IN  JUNE 


Besides  acting  as  reunion  chairman  for 
our  40th  Reunion  on  June  9,  Dr.  Samuel 
M.  Davenport  is  serving  as  president  of 
the  Kiwanis  Club  of  Wilkes-JBarre.  Sam 
hasn't  missed  a  meeting  of  Kiwanis  in  the 
more  than  12  years  he  has  been  a  Kiwani- 
an.  Recently  he  was  elected  a  fellow  of 
the  National  Industrial  Medical  Associa- 
tion and  continues  to  serve  as  chief  of  the 
First  Surgical  Section  of  Nesbitt  Memorial 
Hospital,  and  as  a  trustee  of  Wilkes  Col- 
lege. 

Sam  reports  that  he  has  received  but 
two  letters  in  response  to  his  reunion 
message.  Homer  Sanders  and  Charles 
Gubin  are  the  only  ones  who  have  replied. 
More  about  both  of  them  to  follow. 

Bruce  Butt  is  the  class  fund  manager. 
You  received  a  letter  from  him  dated  Feb. 


1.  At  the  bottom  of  mine  he  scribbled, 
"Ossie  you  old  son-of-a-gun,  I  am  going 
to  answer  that  letter  of  yours  now  on  my 
desk  for  two  or  more  weeks."  (Months 
was  more  like  it).  He  lives  at  1406  State 
St.,  Harrisburg. 

Charles  Gubin  writes :  "To  bring  you 
up-to-date  on  yours  truly,  I  was  in  busi- 
ness with  my  father  after  leaving  school 
and  moved  to  Philadelphia  to  take  a  posi- 
tion with  the  Stewart  Warner  Corpora- 
tion. My  wife  died  while  we  were  in 
Philadelphia,  and  I  decided  to  come  back 
home  to  Northumberland — got  mixed  up 
in  politics  and  in  1934  was  made  postmas- 
ter in  which  position  I  still  hold  forth." 

Sarah  Hilbish  Post  expressed  guiltiness 
after  reading  the  March  issue  of  THE 
BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS  and  comes  up 
with  this:  "To  bring  you  up  to  date  on 
my  family,  I  have  two  sons,  both  Buck- 
nell graduates.  I  have  three  grandsons, 
future  Bucknellians,  I  hope.  Two  of  my 
grandsons  are  living  in  Mannheim,  Ger- 
many with  their  parents,  Capt.  and  Mrs. 
Sterling  Post,  Jr.  '48.  In  July  1955,  I  spent 
three  wonderful  weeks  in  Mannheim.  Mrs. 
Albert  Boyer,  mother  of  Wilbur  Boyer  '40 
and  Dr.  Margaret  J.  Boyer  '40,  and  I  spent 
ten  weeks  travelling  through  England, 
Holland,  Belgium,  Germany,  Switzerland, 
Liechtenstein,  Austria,  Italy,  Monaco  and 
France.  I  do  hope  our  40th  Reunion  will 
be  a  big  success  and  I'm  looking  forward 
to  it." 

Homer  Sanders  came  through  with  a 
nice  letter.  Our  letter  reached  him  dur- 
ing recuperation  from  a  pulmonary  throm- 
bosis, his  first  illness  in  49  years.  "Our 
Reunion  date  has  a  triple  meaning  for 
me,"  he  writes.  "It  is  also  the  date  of 
my  65th  birthday,  and  three  days  later, 
the  12th,  marks  my  40th  year  of  member- 
ship in  the  Masonic  fraternity.  Since 
March  1940  my  activities  as  an  electrical 
engineer  have  been  confined  to  two  com- 
panies, the  Austin  Company  and  the  H. 
H.  Ferguson  Company,  both  being  indus- 
trial and  commercial  outfits." 

Harold  E.  "Luke"  Smith  lives  at  11520 
Clematis  Blvd.,  Penn  Hills,  Pittsburgh  35. 
He  is  employed  at  L^nited  Plate  Glass  Co. 
as  director  of  sales.  Both  his  son  and 
daughter  have  graduated  from  Bucknell. 
His  son,  Harold  E.  II  '54,  is  now  with  the 
U.  S.  Army  in  Germany.  His  daughter, 
Mrs.  Richard  Swing  '51  (Suzanne  Smith 
'50)  now  lives  in  Bedford,  Mass.  Luke 
hopes  to  be  with  us  on  our  40th. 

Grace  I.  Sutton  reports  from  West 
Newton  that  after  36  years  of  teaching 
she  has  joined  the  ranks  of  the  retired.

(C.  Ray  Speare* 
425  West  Sedgwick  Street 
Philadelphia  19,  Penna. 


I  think  you  '17ers  are  just  the  nicest 
people!  I  have  had  fine  cooperation  from 
you  and  believe  me,  I  appreciate  it.  My 
letter  caught  the  Heberlings  on  vacation  at 
Sea  Island,  Ga.  and  Hazel  wrote  right 
away  to  help  me  keep  my  deadline.  They 
are  on  their  annual  golfing  vacation.  It 
includes  two  weeks  at  Sea  Island  and  one 
at  Pinehurst,  N.  C.  Jack  is  too  busy  at 
home,  to  play  much  golf  so  he  makes  up 
for  it  on  vacation.  He  has  been  doing 
orthopedic  surgery  in  Pittsburgh  since 
1924.  He  is  chief  of  the  surgical  division 
at  Allegheny  Hospital,  has  taught  in  the 
medical  school  for  30  years,  and  is  the 
orthopedic  surgeon  in  charge  of  The  Crip- 
pled Children's  Home  in  Pittsburgh.  Their 
two  daughters  are  married  and  each  has 
two  children.  The  elder  daughter's  hus- 
band is  a  young  orthopedic  surgeon  asso- 
ciated with  Jack  for  ten  years.  Hazel 
says,  "Since  we  all  live  practically  around 
the   corner  from  each  other,  we  are  for- 

M  A  Y    19  3  6 


tunate  enough  to  see  and  enjoy  our  grand- 
children, the  biggest  dividends  we've  had 
from  hfe  to  date."  All  the  adults  take 
part  in  community  work  and  Hazel  fre- 
quently slips  in  a  course  in  her  particular 
interest  of  the  moment,  which  may  be  his- 
tory, poetry,  finance,  etc.  This  year  it's 
a  life  class  in  drawing  and  painting.  They 
plan  to  be  back  on  campus  for  our  40th 
Reunion. 

Charles  Hay  writes  that  he  is  just  about 
to  graduate  from  the  Bell  System  after  34 
years  service,  mostly  spent  as  a  member 
of  the  technical  staff  of  the  Bell  Telephone 
Laboratories.  Charlie  says,  "We  have  just 
sold  our  home  on  Long  Island  and  within 
a  month  will  be  treking  to  Florida.  We're 
going  to  Orlando  initially,  but  may  decide 
to  purchase  a  new  home  elsewhere  in 
Florida.  I  frequently  see  and  recently 
had  dinner  with  Dr.  A.  A.  Allen  (Alexan- 
der Aloysius  Aleshouchas  '11  to  old  tim- 
ers)." Thanks  Charlie,  it's  good  to  hear 
about  Alex,  too.  He  was  grand!  Have 
a  wonderful  time  in  your  retirement. 

From  Rube  Hayes,  Hartleton,  comes  an 
answer  to  my  letter  for  news.  Rube 
served  in  the  Army  for  two  and  a  half 
years  after  graduation.  Then  he  worked 
in  Lock  Haven  for  a  civil  engineer  for  a 
year.  Since  1929  he  has  divided  his  time 
between  Minnesota  and  Pennsylvania.  He 
spends  eight  months  of  each  year  in  Penn- 
sylvania and  four  in  Minnesota.  While 
there  he  teaches  in  a  Bible  Camp.  Rube 
says,  "I'm  a  bachelor  of  62,  have  gray 
hair,  wear  a  beard,  live  alone,  do  my  own 
cooking  and  like  it."  He  shot  his  first 
deer  last  fall.  He  is  chairman  of  the 
L'nion  County  Western  Area  Joint  School 
Authority. 

A  nice  letter  from  Don  Haman  tells  us 
he  served  a  tour  of  duty  with  the  U.  S. 
Xavy  during  World  War  \.  After  his 
discharge  in  New  York,  he  married  a  girl 
from  that  state  and  settled  there  "to  make 
his  way."  They  have  one  son  who  is  mar- 
ried. Don  has  been  a  member  of  the 
faculty  of  Pratt  Institute,  a  research  engi- 
neer with  Western  Electric,  a  sales  engi- 
neer with  Westinghouse,  and  is  currently 
a  regional  representative  of  the  Worthing- 
ton  Corporation  of  New  York.  His  busi- 
ness address  is  99  Park  Ave.,  N.  Y.  C.  16. 
He  is  looking  forward  to  retirement  at  the 
end  of  this  year  and  they  are  thinking  of 
making  their  winter  home  in  Jupiter,  Fla. 
with  Picture  Rocks  or  Eagles  Mere  for 
summer  location.  You'll  be  right  back 
home  again,  Don.     Happy  retirement!

monial dinner.  We're  proud  of  Clint.  For 
■his  work  see  this  column  in  the  September 
issue.  By  the  way,  did  you  get  your  let- 
ter from  him?  Did  you  heed  his  call? 
If  not,  won't  you  help,  please.  It  need 
not  be  big.  but  do  send  something.  All 
added  together  makes  a  lot  and  it  will 
raise  our  class  percentage.  The  Alumni 
Fund  is  our  opportunity  to  say  "Thank 
You"  to  Buckncll.  So  send  yours  in  be- 
fore you  forget. 

Getting  back  to  Clint.  He  was  back  on

'Elizabeth  L.  Hahn  18),  their  sons.  John 
W.  '48  and  Robert  C.  'A'J  and  a  daughter-

Dear  Classmates: 

It  is  always  a  red  letter  day  when  I  get 
an  answer  to  an  appeal  for  news.  Sam 
Lenox  has  come  across  for  this  issue.  Sam 
lives  at  11  Renfrew  Ave.,  Trenton,  N.  J. 
-A.fter  graduating  from  Harvard  Law 
School  in  1922  he  began  the  practice  of 
law  in  Trenton  and  has  been  there  ever 
since.  The  Lenox  family  consists  of 
three  children,  all  Bucknellians:  Samuel 
D.  Jr.  '47,  associated  in  the  law  practice 
with  his  father,  Jean  '48  and  Barbara  '50. 

Mabelle  Ede  '17  has  been  most  helpful 
to  me  by  sending  a  very  interesting  let- 
ter she  received  recently  from  Dorothy 
McClintic  Johnson.  Dorothy,  her  husband 
and  mother  moved  to  Fort  Lauderdale, 
Fla.  several  years  ago.  They  have  a  home 
in  the  Coral  Ridge  section.  Many  of  you 
probably  read  about  that  interesting  real 
estate  development  in  the  February  issue 
of  the  Saturday  Evening  Post.  Dorothy's 
mother  celebrated  her  86th  birthday  on  Feb. 
24.  Their  address  is  2425  N.  E.  27th  Ter- 
race, Fort  Lauderdale,  Fla. 

Think  I  shall  start  to  do  some  intensive 
digging  and  see  if  I  can  pry  some  infor- 
mation out  of  some  of  the  "lost"  members 
of  the  Class  of  1918.  Anybody  want  to 
help  by  sending  me  news?

We  have  learned  with  sorrow  of  the 
death  of  Thomas  Cooper  Cockhill,  Jr. 
on  Dec.  23,  1955  in  the  Chester  Hospital. 
While  at  Bucknell,  Tom  participated  in 
both  varsity  football  and  baseball.  In  1917, 
he  left  with  the  Ambulance  Unit  for 
France,  where  he  was  wounded.  In  1926, 
Tom  became  physical  and  health  director 
and  athletic  coach  of  the  Chester  Public 
Schools,  where  he  served  many  full  and 
rewarding  years.  We  wish  to  extend  our 
deepest  sympathy  to  his  family. 

George  A.  Starkweather  reports  that  he 
has  five  grandchildren  and  hopes  that 
some  of  them  will  become  Bucknellians. 
His  address  is  22  N,  Llanwellyn  Ave.,

Les  Lighton  will  retire  on  May  31  as  a

<r|)iiiig  his  (lccisif)n  to  retire,  Mr.  C.  F.

tribute  to  the  more  than  3.5  years  of  ser- 
vice  Les  has  conlrilinlcd   to   tin-  progress 


of  the  company.  During  the  past  year  he 
has  devoted  himself  to  establishment  of 
the  Corporate  Research  Department.  His 
professional  achievements  and  honors  are 
many  and  include  terms  of  service  to  our 
government  as  well  as  high  posts  in  the 
nation's  outstanding  technical  and  profes- 
sional groups.  Les  was  awarded  the  hon- 
orary doctor's  degree  by  Bucknell  Univer- 
sity in  1955  in  recognition  of  his  significant 
contributions  to  scientific  knowledge.  His 
retirement  will  probably  not  mean  more 
leisure  for  Les;  he  is  looking  forward  to  a 
very  busy  time,  doing  a  lot  of  things  he 
has  been  postponing  for  years.  Good  luck, 
Les,  in  your  coming  achievements.

received  his  Ph.D.  from  Yale  in  1938. 

Congratulations  are  in  order  for  Albert 
L.  Brown,  Jr.  on  having  been  named  chief 
supervisor  in  charge  of  the  Transport  Di- 
vision of  the  Chambers  Works  of  the  E.  I. 
duPont  de  Nemours  &  Co.  The  Browns 
reside  at  "Bethlyn,"  Laurel  Hills,  Woods- 
town,  N.  J. 

We  attended  the  Bucknell  birthday 
meeting  of  the  Baltimore  Alumni  Club, 
but  nary  a  '35-er  did  we  see.  Strangely 
enough,  I  saw  no  one  I  knew,  but  the 
next  evening,  daughter  Diane  and  I  sat  in 
back  of  Walter  Morris  at  a  concert.  We 
had  a  delightful  chat  with  him.  Walt  is 
from  the  class  of  '36  and  has  achieved  dis- 
tinction at  Goucher  College  where  he 
teaches.  He  is  associate  professor  of  re- 
ligion and  directs  religious  activities  on 
tlie  campus. 

I  received  a  truly  marvelous  letter  from 
Peg  Weddell  concerning  the  tragic  death 
of  a  cousin  of  mine  in  South  Africa,  It 
brings  to  a  close  one  of  the  most  amazing 
coincidences  I  have  known — that  Peg  and 
"Bun"  Orr  should  have  been  next-door 
neighbors — so  far  away  and  without  hav- 
ing known  each  other  or  of  our  mutual 
relationship. 

Elsewhere  in  the  Alumni  news  is  an 
account  of  the  untimely  death  of  our 
class's  noted  psychoanalyst  and  author, 
Bob  Lindner.  All  of  us  send  our  deepest 
sympathy  to  "Johnnie"  Lindner  '34  and 
her  family.  Bob's  loss  is  cancelled  by  the 
life  he  dedicated  to  humanity  and  to  our 
understanding  of  each  other.

«<   REUNE  IN  JUNE 

We  are  looking  forward  to  our  Reunion 
on  June  9.  I  hope  you  sent  in  your  com- 
pleted questionnaires  to  Eric  Stewart — 
even  if  you  cannot  attend  the  Reunion. 
The  returns  to  date  have  revealed  some 
interesting  information  about  our  class- 
mates. 

Those  planning  to  stay  overnight  will 
enjoy  being  together  in  the  lovely,  new 
Swartz  dormitory.  No  doubt  there  will 
be  reminiscing  into  the  wee  hours. 

Our  class  gathering  will  be  held  at  10:30 
a.  m.  Sat.,  June  9  in  the  2nd  floor  Read- 
ing Room,  Bertrand  Library.  Following 
a  brief  business  meeting,  we  will  pose  for 
a  class  picture.  Ed  Reisman,  whose  hobby 
is  photography,  will  film  our  Reunion  for 
a  showing  at  our  25th  in  1961.  He  will 
also  take  still  pictures  which  will  be  avail- 
able to  those  who  want  them.  At  3:00 
p.  m.,  after  the  .Alumni  Luncheon  in  Davis 
(iym,  we'll  get  together  again  at  Hulley 
Ildust,  517  St,  (ieorge  Street.  Mrs.  Jay 
Mathias  (Margie  Blair)  will  serve  as  social 
chairman  for  this  affair. 

(A  little  reminder  to  the  distaff  side — 
Be  sure  to  bring  at  least  one  pair  of  com- 
fortable shoes,  the  hill  isn't  any  easier  to 
climb  than  it  was  20  years  ago,  and  you'll 
want  to  see  the  many  changes  on  the 
campus). 

If  you  have  not  sent  your  contribution 
to  the  Alumni  Fund  you  still  have  an  op- 
portunity to  do  so.  The  fund  year  ends

editorial  in  the  Wilkes-Barre  Times  Leader,

internal  medicine,  he  is  not  satisfied  to 
serve  the  public  only  through  science;  his 
extracurricular  activities  in  community  af- 
fairs have  been  equally  impressive."  Con- 
gratulations, Bob!

Dr.  and  Mrs.  John  Arbogast  are  the 
parents  of  a  daughter,  Joan,  born  Jan.  11 
in  the  Temple  University  Hospital,  Phil- 
adelphia, where  John  is  in  his  second  year 
of  residency  in  obstetrics  and  gynecology. 

Another  letter  from  Daniel  G.  Burt  in 
Asuncion,  Paraguay,  brought  a  vexing 
story  concerning  himself  which  he  had  re- 
cently received  from  a  classmate,  Bush 
Fullerton.  At  a  luncheon  in  Chicago  for 
a  visiting  president  of  Uruguay,  Bush 
found  himself  seated  ne.xt  to  one  of  the 
president's  sons,  Jorge  BatUe.  During  the 
course  of  conversation,  it  occurred  to  Bush 
that  among  the  two  or  three  million  peo- 
ple in  Uruguay,  he  knew  only  one  person, 
Dan  Burt.  When  he  mentioned  this  to 
Jorge,  he  recognized  the  name  immediate- 
ly and  reported  that  both  he  and  his  father 
knew  the  family  well.  What  is  confusing 
Bush  is  that  he  later  received  Dan's  ad- 
dress from  Alumni  Headquarters  and  dis- 
covered that  Dan  is  not  living  in  Uruguay 
but  in  Paraguay. 

"Did  the  visiting  Uruguian  really  know 
Dan  or  was  he  'pulling  my  leg',"  ponders 
Bush.      He    admits    that   Jorge's    English 

30 


was  none  too  good  and  his  Spanish  was 
even  worse,  so  he  has  concluded  that  per- 
haps they  misunderstood  each  other  some- 
where along  the  line.     Anyway  .  .  . 

Lee  Eshelman  was  married  June  11, 
1955  to  Edward  Moshinski.  Her  husband

readable  aricle  for  the  November  1955 
issue  of  Consulting  Engineer  under  the  title, 
"Should  Consulting  Engineers  Advertise?" 
Dick  thinks  they  should,  and  cites  the  ad- 
vantages to  society  if  professional  people 
would  be  inclined  to  tell  the  public  of  the 
services  they  have  to  offer.  He  completes 
his  article  with  a  simple  promotion  pro- 
gram that  professionals  should  follow  in 
telling  the  public  about  their  services. 
Dick,  who  is  with  Foster  D.  Snell,  Inc., 
has  done  his  usual  good  job  of  thinking 
straight  and  writing  clearly  and  directly.

MISS  DOROTHY  M.  DiORIO 
376  S.  Bellevue  Ave. 
Langhorne,  Penna. 


Here  I  am  sending  the  last  edition  of 
'54  news  to  press,  knowing  full  well  that 
half  of  the  material  which  I  have  here  will 
more  than  fill  the  allotted  space.  Please 
bear  with  me  if  I  hold  you  over  until 
September. 

In  condensed  fashion  we  have  first  the

A  completely  frustrated  Alumnus  suli- 
scriber  is  Mrs.  Carey  G.  Price  (Sue  Day- 
ton) whose  own  and  newly  acquired  hus- 
band's names  were  misspelled.  These 
errors  appeared  in  an  announcement  of 
their  Nov.  5  marriage.     My  apologies! 

In  the  career  line  I  mention  first  Joan 
Rafaj  who  is  working  for  her  Master's 
degree  in  American  History  at  Cornell 
and  is  planning  a  June  wedding. 

I  had  a  letter  from  Margot  Straus  who 
writes  that  in  addition  to  being  Mrs. 
Richard  Pctrow  for  the  past  three  years, 
she  is  now  working  as  the  assistani  to 
the  features  editor  of  The  American  Ciii

the  name  of  her  publication.  Her  address 
is  S  West  95th  St.,  N.  Y.

in  l-'rench  at  the  University  of  Chicago

year  she  studied  at  the  University  of

A   last  year's  graduate  from    Katharine 


Gibbs  School,  Mary  Ann  Boessneck  is 
now  employed  at  Bethlehem  Steel  Co., 
Bethlehem."  Pa. 

Richard  B.  Reed  began  his  studies  for  a

gical nursing  at  Lewistown  Hospital  dur- 
ing the  spring  semester.  She  is  a  mem- 
ber of  the  staff  of  Wilkes  College  Depart- 
ment of  Nursing  Education. 

We  can  hardly  close  this  sketchy  resume 
without  mentioning  the  doings  of  the 
uniform-clad   lads. 

Ken  Adamec  is  serving  as  a  lieutenant 
in  the  Medical  Service  Corps.,  Fort  Dev- 
ens, Mass.,  where  he  is  commander  of  a 
100-bed  hospital. 

Harold  Smith  II,  Specialist  3rd  class, 
has  been  stationed  in  Germany  for  the 
past  three  years  with  the  U.  S.  Army 
Topographic   Engineers   as   a   surveyor. 

It  was  with  deep  regret  that  we  learned 
of  the  untimely  death  of  Ensign  Robert 
W.  Jaggard  on  March  27  when  the  Navy 
Skyraider  dive  bomber  he  was  piloting 
crashed  into  a  farm  house  near  Corpus 
Christi,  Te.x.  Witnesses  said  the  Sky- 
raider  had  been  coming  in  for  a  landing 
at  the  Naval  Auxiliary  Air  Station  at 
Cabiniss  Field  two  miles  west  of  Corpus 
Christi.  The  wing  tip  of  the  plane  touched 
the  ground  in  the  yard  of  a  house  across 
the  street  from  the  base.  The  plane 
cartwheeled  into  the  five-room  frame 
house,  smashing  part  of  it.  The  rest  was 
destroyed  by  flames.  A  woman  in  the 
house  escaped  injury. 

Bob  was  the  son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  R.  V. 
Jaggard  of  Egg  Harbor  Rd.,  Sewall,  N.  J. 
While  at  Bucknell  he  worked  on  the 
L'Agenda,  Student  Handbook,  and  Et  Cet- 
era. He  was  a  member  of  the  Outing  Club 
and  Christian  Association.  He  partici- 
pated in  intramural  sports  four  years.  A 
member  of  the  Lambda  Chi  fraternity,  he 
entered  the  Naval  Air  Cadets  training 
program  at  Pensacola,  Fla.  upon  gradua- 
tion from  Bucknell.  We  like  to  think 
that  his  college  days  held  many  happy 
associations.

LETTERS 


Fellow  Buckxelliaxs  : 

Since  mv  election  Tune  1955  as  Vice 
President  of  The  General  Alumni  Associa- 
tion. I've  been  asked  several  times  to  write 
an  article  for  our  official  publication.  Like 
all  of  you.  I've  been  busily  engaged  with 
other  matters  which  seemed  more  important. 
Today,  however.  I  feel  compelled  to  accept 
the  challenge  and  write  about  a  matter 
which  disturbs  me  very  much.  You  see, 
I've  just  returned  from  a  visit  to  Lewisburg. 
where  I  was  informed  that  certain  signifi- 
cant changes  in  course  offerings  were  being 
contemplated.  I'm  referring  specifically  to 
the  reduction  in  course  offerings  for  stu- 
dents interested  in  meeting  Pennsyh-ania 
state  requirements  for  certification  in  the 
elementary  education  program.  Actually,  it 
has  even  "been  suggested  that  the  program 
for  preparation  of  elementary  teachers  should 
be  discarded  entirely,  since  Bucknell  is  es- 
sentially a  liberal  arts  college.  As  an  alum- 
nus and  a  parent,  I'm  unalterably  opposed  to 
such  a  course  of  action.  I'm  reasonably 
sure  many  of  you,  especially  parents  plan- 
ning to  send  their  daughters  to  Bucknell, 
will  want  to  know  more  about  this. 

As  a  laj-man.  certainly  not  a  consultant 
for  any  policy  determining  committee,  I 
wish  to  outline  briefly  my  reason  for  oppos- 
ing this  action : 

1.  Because  of  the  desperate  shortage  of 
elementarj-  teachers — in  fact,  teachers  on  all 
levels.  Are  we  not  a  service  institution  and 
as  such  have  an  obligation  to  society?  The 
Foimdations,  Ford,  Olin,  Carnegie,  etc..  who 
are  benefactors  of  institutions  like  Bucknell, 
are  looking  to  us  for  such  leadership  and 
their  representatives  have  on  numerous  oc- 
casions  emphasized  this   point. 

2.  From  a  purely  selfish  Bucknell  view- 
point, may  I  remind  all  of  you  that  during 
the  depression  years.  1930-34.  we  who  were 
interested  in  securing  students  for  Bucknell, 
relied  veo'  heavily  on  Bucknellians  engaged 
as  public  school  teachers  to  recommend  good 
prospective  students  for  our  Alma  Mater. 
I'm  sure  that  these  alumni  performed  a  ser- 
vice which  aided  the  university  materially 
and  alleviated  certain  of  the  then  pressing 
financial  conditions.  I  sincerely  hope  that 
Bucknell  will  never  again  pass  through  a 
similar  depression  period  —  unfortunately, 
economic  history  has  always  found  a  way 
of  repeating  the  cycle.  I  can  only  hope  that 
if  such  a  condition  ever  does  materialize,  we 
will  again  find  a  goodly  number  of  loyal 
Bucknellians  in  the  classroom,  willing  and 
able  to  recommend  young  .Americans  to  be 
considered  as  applicants  for  admission  to 
Bucknell. 

3.  Furthermore,  here  are  some  statistics 
which  may  be  of  interest  to  all  of  you.  This 
year,  in  the  .State  of  N'ew  Jersey,  there  was 
a  need  for  4000  adflitional  teachers.  The 
college  teacher-trained  graduates  in  New 
Jersey  institutions  numbered  800.  For  the 
next  five  years  the  disparity  will  be  even 
Krcater.  In  the  State  of  Delaware,  the  two 
tr-arhcr-training  institutions  graduated  a 
total  numtxrr  of  about  HO  seniors  qualified 
for  teacher  assignments.  The  number  need- 
ed was  400.  Figures  for  New  York  and 
Pennsylvania  arc  not  available  but  I'm  sure 
they  are  subntantially  the  same. 

4.  Wc,  who  arc  graduates  of  church-re- 
lated »chool.s,  arc  proud  of  our  heritage  atul 
should  make  an  all-out  effort  to  support 
them.  Wake  up,  Bucknellian.s,  fjefore  it  is 
vf:ry  late !  I,  |M;rv<nally,  am  only  Ux>  well 
aware  of  the  demand  by  the  most  competent 
imblic  and  private  administrators  for  the 
'Alt  standing  pro<Jucts  of  our  liberal  arts  col- 

.r  Wlvil  alKiUt  the  future?  Are  your  sons 
and  'l/iughtcrs  planning  to  attend  college? 
M  A  V    I  a  i  IS 


By  1960  there  will  be  an  alarming  number 
of  j'oung  people  eager  to  attend  college,  but 
unfortunately  the  supply  of  well  qualified  in- 
structors on  the  college  level  will  be  limited, 
to  say  the  least.  Today  the  shortage  is  so 
acute  that  even  money  won't  solve  the  prob- 
lem. Why  ?  There  has  been  very  little  in- 
centive in  the  way  of  financial  renumeration 
and  all  too  few  of  our  fine  young  people 
could  afford,  and  even  now  can  aft'ord,  the 
luxury  of  college  teaching !  We  desperately 
need  young  men  and  women  who  will  be 
qualified  to  give  adequate  training  to  the 
elementary  and  high  school  students  who 
will  become  our  college  professors  in  the 
years  to  come. 

6.  Six  years  ago  the  faculty  and  admin- 
istration of  Bucknell  University  petitioned 
the  Pennsylvania  State  Council  on  Educa- 
tion for  permission  to  offer  elementary  edu- 
cation courses  which  would  ultimately  lead 
to  a  B.S.  degree  and  qualify  the  holder  to 
teach  in  our  public  schools.  The  council 
approved  the  request,  and  Bucknell  became 
the  fifth  institution  in  Pennsylvania,  to- 
gether with  Penn  State,  University  of  Pitts- 
burgh, Temple  University,  and  the  Univer- 
sity of  Pennsylvania,  eligible  to  award  this 
degree.  I  am  deliberately  not  including  the 
Pennsylvania  State  Teachers  Colleges,  be- 
cause I  am  trying  to  point  out  that  this  was 
a  signal  honor  and  a  trust  bestowed  upon 
Bucknell.  Now  that  this  program  has  been 
so  well  received  and  the  demand  is  growing 
by  large  numbers,  it  is  my  sincere  hope  that 
retrenchment  of  this  fine  program  will  not 
be  sanctioned  by  the  authorities.  Present 
enrollment  for  these  courses  is  running  high. 
Of  approximately  750  applications  for  ad- 
mission from  the  young  women,  200  are 
interested  in  the  elementary  teacher-training 
course.  According  to  present  plans,  only 
25  will  be  accepted.  Prior  to  this  year,  there 
were  50. 

Bucknell's  elementary  education  program 
has  proved  itself  a  worthy  addition  to  the 
long-flourishing  secondary  education,  guid- 
ance, and  administrative  curricula.  Since 
roughly  three-fourths  of  the  curriculum  con- 
sists of  liberal  arts  work  in  English,  sci- 
ence, social  studies,  music,  humanities,  psy- 
chology, geography,  and  related  areas,  many 
of  us  feel  that  this  educational  curriculum 
rightfully  belongs  as  an  integral  part  of  any 
liberal  arts  program.  With  such  a  diversi- 
fied curriculum,  these  teachers  will  excel  in 
their  training  abilities  and  we  may  assume 
that  the  young  children  entrusted  to  them 
will  be  better  prepared  for  the  high  school 
courses.  I  am  of  the  opinion  that  many  of 
the  difficulties  in  secondary  education  are 
due  to  weakness  in  the  fundamentals.  It  is 
utterly  fallacious  thinking,  on  the  part  of 
some,  to  assume  that  secondary  school  teach- 
ing is  of  greater  importance.  Certainly  the 
elementary  teacher  should  be  afforded  op- 
portunities of  a  liberal  arts  education.  It  is 
with  keen  regret  that  I  note  the  de-emphasis 
of  this  important  portion  of  Bucknell's  con- 
tribution to  the  student  body,  and  society  in 
general.  How  can  a  policy  of  retrenchment 
be  justified  at  this  time? 

Lest  some  of  you  misinterpret  Ihc  motive 
behind  this  article,  may  I  remind  you  that 
even  though  I  am  Vice  President  of  the 
Bryant  Teachers  Bureau  (some  may  accuse 
me  of  having  an  ulterior  motive),  I  am  also 
a  parent  of  a  si.\th  grade  youngster  who  is 
one  of  millions  who  deserve  the  l)est  that 
our  country  can  afford.  1  iiray  God  tlie 
time  will  never  come  lli.it  tills  young  geruTa- 
tion  will  be  called  upon  to  defend  us  against 
aggressor  nations.  If  it  does,  I  hope  they 
will  be  well  prepared. 

Ask  yourselves  this  question  :  Am  I  satis- 
fied with  public  education  and  its  i)rograin 
of  elementary  eduratiori,  tlicrcliy  liclpiiig  in 
a  small  way  to  alleviate  existing  conditions? 
May  I  suggest  that  other  alumni  express 
their  thoughts  in  writing  as  evidence  to  be 


presented  to  the  designated  authorities  re- 
sponsible for  determining  the  educational 
policies  at  Bucknell  University. 

WiLMER  D.  Greulich  '34 

Vice  President 

The  General  Alumni  Association 

As  zi'c  understand  it,  the  thought  has  been 
that  Bucknell  can  do  a  better  job  by  ad- 
mitting a  class  of  25  clctnentary  curriculitm 
H'onicn  in  each  class  rather  than  a  larger 
number.  Our  facilities  are  not  adequate  for 
a  larger  group  in  elementary  education. 
Besides,  if  z<.'e  admit,  say  50  elementary 
trained  zi'omen  in  each  class  and  hare  200 
of  them  in  the  student  body,  plus  the  sec- 
ondary zvomen,  the  number  zvould  be  out  of 
proportion  to  the  total  number  of  zvomen 
students.  It  should  be  remembered  that 
Bucknell  is  primarily  a  liberal  arts  Univer- 
sity, and  under  our  limited  enrollment  facili- 
ties every  additional  education  major  re- 
quires the  dropping  of  a  major  in  the  liberal 
arts  field.  When  it  is  remembered  that  un- 
der present  conditions  only  one  out  of  sezien 
requests  for  admission  from  zvomen  can  be 
granted,  it  is  evident  that  Bucknell  must 
observe  great  care  in  presenting  the  bal- 
ance of  applicants  in  all  areas  of  both  the 
liberal  arts  and  the  education  fields. 

Undoubtedly,  in  the  course  of  "The  Buck- 
nell Study,"  during  zvhich  a  complete  reviezv 
of  the  educational  program  at  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity zvill  be  conducted,  the  opinions  of 
prominent  Alumni  on  our  curricular  offer- 
ings in  various  fields,  including  education, 
zvill  be  sought.    ED. 


Industry  Recruiters  Active 

Raymond  K.  Irwin  '44,  director  of  Buck- 
nell's placement  bureau,  is  completing  his 
busiest  season  of  welcoming  to  the  cam- 
pus representatives  of  industry  who  in- 
terview seniors  as  prospective  employees 
for  their  companies.  PreHminary  esti- 
mates indicate  that  a  new  high  in  indus- 
try recruiter  visitation  will  again  be  es- 
tablished this  year. 

A  recent  survey  of  many  companies  re- 
leased by  American  College  Public  Re- 
lations Association  indicates  that  salary 
scales  industry  will  be  setting  for  the 
1956  graduate  will  be: 

BA  $350  to  $410  per  month  to  start 

BS      386        435 

MA     380        435 

MS      440        460 

Quite  a  commentary  on  the  value  of  a 
college  education!  At  these  starting  rates, 
it  does  not  take  much  figuring  to  learn 
that  the  value  of  a  college  education  is 
worth  6-8  times  the  yearly  tuition  fee  the 
minute   a   student    becomes   an   alumnus. 

We  can  well  see  the  Bucknell  Alumnus 
of  30  or  more  years  ago  looking  at  the 
1956  salary  scales  with  longing  eyes,  es- 
pecially when  they  rcmcbcr  a  (luote  from 
THE  BUCKNELLIAN  of  1926  which 
caught  our  eye  recently.  It  said,  "College 
men  are  valued  by  the  business  world  this 
year  (1926)  as  worth  $28  per  week.  Em- 
ployers were  interested  mainly  in  men 
graduates  who  'in  undergraduate  years 
were  leaders  among  their  fellow  stuclents, 
had  an  outstanding  scholastic  record  and 
a  strong  personality'."  At  first  glance 
these  1926  figures  seem  to  deny  the  value 
of  a  college  education.  But  when  one 
compares  the  tuition  rate  of  1926  ($150 
per  year),  it  is  clear  that  even  then  the 
value  of  a  college  e(luc,itif)ii  was  worth  6 
times  the  yearly  tuition  fee  the  niiinilc 
tlie  student  became  an  alumnus.  IVl;iyl)c 
the  good  old  days  of  1926  .'nid  earli<T  were 
not  so  bad  with  a  starting  salary  6  limes 
the  yearly  tuition  fee.

The  Cover  Pictnre— This  double-header  pic-

tive football  schedule  for  the  Bucknell  Bi- 
sons. Just  as  attractive  is  the  second  feature, 
name  of  Miss  EUena  Steinman,  senior  from 
East  Greenville  and  head  majorette  of  the 
Bison  Band  of  Bucknell.  Incidentally,  _  El- 
lena  is  wearing  the  new  Bison  Band  uniform 
which  follows  the  theme  of  the  costume  of 
the  bison  days  in  the  Old  \\'est.  You  will 
want  to  see  Ellena,  the  Bison  Band  and  the 
Bucknell  football  squad  in  action;  Three 
good  reasons  why  we  show  the  football 
schedule  on  the  front  cover.

HOMECOMING-1956 


Pool  Dedication  and  Sports  Dominate 
Fall  Season 

Homecoming  Weekend,  October  20,  with 
its  ^-aried  program,  will  provide  features  for 
all.  \\'hatever  your  interests,  the  A  to  Z 
program  of  events  will  provide  more  activi- 
ties than  you  can  possibly  attend.  You  can 
make  your  choice  from  .\quatics.  Art,  Ath- 
letics. Bison  Club,  Business,  Dance,  Dedica- 
tion, Dinners.  Doctors,  Engineering,  Enter- 
tainment, E.xhibits,  Football,  Luncheons,  Pa- 
rade, Pep  Rally,  Queens,  Reunions,  Round- 
ups, Sports,  Swimming  and  Zoology. 

The  Freas-Rooke  Swimming  Pool 

Bucknellians  have  waited  long  but  the 
dream  of  a  swimming  pool  has  become  a 
reality  through  the  generosity  of  two  mein- 
bers  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  Univer- 
sity: A.  Guy  Freas.  of  Tenafly,  N.  J.,  father 
of  two  recent  Bucknell  graduates,  and  Robert 
L.  Rooke,  of  Westfield,  X.  J.,  a  member  of 
the  Bucknell  Class  of  1913.  Certainly  one 
of  the  highlights  of  a  feature-filled  Home- 
coming \\"eekend  program  will  be  the  cele- 
bration of  the  completion  of  the  Freas-Rooke 
Swimming  Pool  with  dedication  exercises 
and  an  aquatic  show. 

Lafayette  Is  Football  Opponent 

.\n  outstanding  highlight  of  the  Home- 
coming Weekend,  of  course,  is  our  annual 
football  game  with  Lafayette  College.  Our 
football  series  with  Lafayette,  dating  back 
to  1883,  shows  that  our  friends  from  Easton 
have  set  up  a  record  of  16  won,  12  lost,  with 
5  ties.  Most  of  the  Lafayette  wins  were  ac- 
complished in  the  early  years  of  this  eventful 
series  and  during  the  past  10  years  the  record 
shows  7  victories  for  Bucknell.  Out  to  im- 
prove the  modern  record  in  the  Lafayette 
series,  the  football  squad,  smaller  in  num- 
bers than  the  reserve-laden  Leopards,  are 
determined  to  nail  down  a  victory. 

All-Alumni  Luncheon 

.Ml  of  the  features  that  make  Homecoming 
one  of  Bucknell's  three  big  celebration  days

cluded in  the  Homecoming  Weekend  this 
year.  If  you  have  not  been  back  for  Home- 
coming for  several  years,  you  will  be  sur- 
prised at  the  extra  features  that  have  been 
added  recently.  The  -Alumni  Luncheon, 
where  cverybfjfly  gets  to  see  everybody  else 
lx;forc  the  Kame,  al.so  gives  you  a  chance 
to  .sec  the  Bucknell  Band  and  cheerleaders

for  the  game.  .\o  speeches  at  this  luncheon —

that  the  ladies  are  always  welcome  at  the 
Bison  Club  Breakfast. 

Reune  at  the  Round-Up 

.\fter  tlie  game,  ever^-body  returns  to  Davis 
Gym  for  more  meeting  and  greeting  of  old 
friends  at  the  Bison  Round-Up  and  recep- 
tion. Here's  your  chance  to  meet  that  class- 
mate you  have  been  looking  for  all  day.  He 
or  she  will  be  there  to  greet  you  at  the  cider 
barrel. 

The  Evening  Celebration 

.\fter  dinner  ( Bucknell  engineers  will  hold 
a  separate  dinner  at  the  Lewisburg  Club) 
you  will  want  to  hurry  back  to  the  new' 
swimming  pool  to  catch  the  aquatic  show 
and  the  swimming  demonstrations  followed 
at  9  :30  by  the  all-campus  dance  and  enter- 
tainment in  the  gymnasium.  Here's  another 
opportunity  to  meet  your  gang  and  see  the 
presentation  of  the  Homecoming  trophies. 
Whether  or  not  you  care  to  dance,  the  Davis 
Gym  is  the  place  to  spend  Saturday  evening. 

The  Sunday  Program 

Better  make  it  a  long  weekend  this  year, 
for  the  program  is  filled  and  several  "musts" 
remain.  There's  the  University  Golf  Course 
ready  to  make  your  round  of  golf  a  pleasant 
memory  of  the  Homecoming  Weekend.  And 
.all  of  Lewisburg's  churches  are  having 
Homecoming  services  and  you  are  cordially 
invited  to  attend  the  church  of  your  choice. 
Then,  too,  a  tour  of  the  Ellen  Clarke  Ber- 
trand  Library,  where  special  e.xhibits  are  on 
display,  will  be  a  rewarding  experience. 

Housing 

As  you  look  over  tlie  tentative  program 
published  in  this  issue  of  THE  BUCKNELL 
.\LUMNUS,  you  will  wonder  when  you  will 
get  a  chance  to  sleep.  But  from  past  ex- 
perience we  would  recommend  that  you  give 
some  thought  now  to  ynur  housing  arrange- 


ments. Housing,  long  a  bottleneck  in  Home- 
coming planning,  has  eased  somewhat  in 
Lewisburg.  We  still  cannot  offer  Waldorf- 
Astoria  service,  but  if  you  write  Mr.  Forrest 
Brown,  Christian  .Association,  Bucknell  Lhii- 
versity,  he  will  be  able  to  suggest  adequate 
and  comfortable  rooms  in  Lewisburg  homes, 
ready  to  provide  you  with  close-to-the- 
campus  accommodations. 

Homecoming  Is  Early  This  Year 

Just  a  word  of  caution — Homecoming  is 
earlier  this  year.  This  is  the  only  issue  of 
THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS  that  will 
carry  information  and  reservation  forms  for 
the  Homecoming  Weekend  program.  Send 
your  ticket,  room  and  luncheon  reservations 
now  (on  a  tentative  basis  if  you  must)  so 
that  adequate  provision  can  be  made  for 
your  comfort  and  pleasure. 

Business  Sessions,  Too 

For  an  ever-increasing  number  of  Buck- 
nellians, Homecoming  means  more  than  just 
fun  and  frolic.  Your  General  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation officers  and  committee  members  meet 
during  the  Homecoming  Weekend  to  advance 
the  expanding  activities  of  the  alumni  pro- 
gram. This  year  the  program  of  business 
meetings  will  include  a  dinner  for  Alumni 
Fund  Committee  and  Class  Fund  Managers 
on  Friday,  with  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of 
Directors  of  The  General  Alumni  .Associa- 
tion scheduled  for  later  in  the  evening.  On 
Saturday  morning  Class  Presidents,  Reunion 
Chairmen  and  committee  members  of  the 
classes  reuning  in  June  1957  (all  those  whose 
class  numerals  end  in  "2"  and  "7")  will 
meet  in  planning  sessions.  .Also,  Saturday 
morning  there  will  be  important  meetings  of 
the  Committee  on  Nominations  for  Alumni 
Trustee  candidates  and  the  Committee  on 
Alumni  Awards.  Your  suggestion  of  names 
of  Bucknellians  to  be  considered  by  these 
two  important  committees  are  requested,  (see 
page  17).  Your  letter,  addressed  to  the 
president  or  secretary  of  The  General  Alum- 
ni .Association,  concerning  any  business  you 
would  like  to  refer  to  the  Board  of  Directors 
or  any  of  its  cominittecs,  will  be  a])preciated. 


Even  though  your  plans  may  be  tentative,  please  mail  this  reservation  TOD.AN'  and 
guarantee  yourself  a  share  in  the  program  and  al.so  assist  us  in  plainiing  your  accomninda-

ALUMNI  WEEKEND-1956 


Alumni  Weekend— 1956  once  again  brought 
a  hum  of  reunion  activity  to  the  campus.  Be- 
ginning on  Friday  the  8th  of  June,  Alumni 
from  all  parts  of  the  country  arrived  to  re- 
new old  college  acquaintances  and  partici- 
pate in  the  weekend  events  planned  so  thor- 
oughly by  the  Commencement  Activities 
Committee  under  the  able  leadership  of  Ray- 
mond K.  Irwin  '47.  His  committee  included : 
Mr.  John  C.  Hayward,  Mr.  John  S.  Carhart, 
Miss  Grace  W.  Colton,  Mrs.  Brown  Focht 
(Florence  Utt  '28),  Mr.  Walter  C.  Geiger 
'34  Mrs.  Esther  B.  Long  (Esther  Baum- 
gartner  '47),  Mr.  John  H.  Shott  '22,  Mr. 
Fitz  R.  Walling  '46,  Dr.  Mark  C.  Ebersole, 
Prof.  Allen  W.  Flock,  Prof.  Charles  A. 
Hollister,  Mr.  H.  Leslie  Bishop  '56  and  Miss 
Marjorie  Steinkamp  '56. 

Annual  Alumni  Reunion 
Luncheon 

In  a  weekend  of  highlights  it  is  difficult 
to  spot  any  feature  event,  but  perhaps  the 
focal  point  in  the  program  was  the  All- 
Alumni  Luncheon  where  over  one  thousand 
Bucknellians  and  their  families  gathered  and 
heard  President  Odgers  deliver  his  "State 
of  the  University"  report. 

Mr.  William  S.  Liming  '33,  retiring  presi- 
dent of  The  General  Alumni  Association, 
greeted  the  reuning  classes  of  1901,  1906. 
1911,  1916,  1921,  1926,  1931,  1936,  1941,  1946, 
1951,  and  1955,  along  with  the  Emeritus  Club, 
the  non-reuning  classes,  and  the  graduating 
Class  of  1956  to  the  luncheon,  after  which  H. 
Leslie  Bishop,  1956  class  president,  presented 
the  Class  of  1956  gift  to  the  University  in 
the  amount  of  $1,400.  The  gift  is  to  be  used 
to  establish  a  faculty  lectureship  fund,  the 
income  to  be  given  annually  to  some  mem- 
ber of  the  Bucknell  University  faculty  in 
recognition  of  a  learned  address.  Following 
this  presentation  Mr.  Liming  presented  to 
Dr.  Edward  Weddell  Pangburn,  a  member 
of  the  Class  of  1915,  the  Alumni  Achievement 


Award  for  unselfish  and  distinguished  ser- 
vice to  the  University.  Dr.  Pangburn  has 
served  on  occasion  as  a  member  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees  of  the  University  and  as  a  presi- 
dent of  The  General  Alumni  Association. 
He  now  takes  an  active  interest  in  the 
Athletic  Advisory  Council  and  the  Bison 
Club.  He  has  been  the  donor  of  several 
trophies  that  have  been  placed  in  student 
competition.  Also  awarded  at  the  luncheon 
was  an  Emeritus  Club  membership  certifi- 
cate to  Dr.  Carl  L.  Millward  '06  symbolic 
of  certificates  distributed  to  all  Alumni  who 
graduated  more  than  fifty  years  ago. 

The  luncheon  program  progressed  with  a 
report  from  "Buck"  Shott  on  club  activities, 
alumni  magazine  program,  and  Bucknell 
Alumni  Annual-Giving  achievement.  An- 
nouncement was  made  that  Clair  G.  Spang- 
ler,  M.D.  '25  of  Reading  had  been  nominated 
for  election  as  an  Alumni  Trustee  on  the 
Board  of  Trustees  of  Bucknell  University 
for  a  term  of  five  years. 

Annual  Assembly,  the  General 
Alumni  Association 

The  passing  of  another  year  once  more 
brought  Alumni  Club  delegates  (from  26 
of  the  68  clubs)  together  for  the  important 
task  of  electing  officers  and  appointing  com- 
mittees in  order  that  The  General  Alumni 
Association  may  continue  to  function  as  an 
active  arm  of  the  University.  Elected  to 
serve  for  one  year  as  officers  of  the  associa- 
tion were  Wilmer  D.  Greulich  '34,  Philadel- 
phia, president;  Mrs.  Charles  Copeland

Mr.    President,    Members    of   the    Board   of 
Trustees,  and  Alumni : 

■"First  of  all.  please  let  me  congratulate  the 
new  officers  of  the  Alumni.  My  special  con- 
gratulations and  thanks  also  go  to  Mr.  Lim- 
ing and  the  other  alumni  officers  for  their 
very  successful  and  helpful  administration  of 
alumni  affairs  during  the  past  two  years. 

"Although  I've  visited  a  number  of  alumni 
clubs,  it  seems  that  I've  met  only  a  handful 
of  our  17,000  alumni  and  alumnae  and  I've 
met  them  in  only  four  of  the  48  states  and 
in  none  of  the  40  foreign  countries  in  which 
they  live.  In  anj'  case,  this  big  June  reunion 
certainly  provides  the  chance  to  meet  the 
largest  number.  Let  me  assure  you  that 
what  I've  seen  of  Bucknell's  products  here 
and  elsewhere  I  like."

"Xot  many  weeks  ago  I  sat  ne.xt  to  a  man 
at  dinner  in  Bethlehem  who  had  attended  the 
.Academy  in  1875  when  he  was  a  boy  of  14. 
Here  was  a  man  of  94  years  of  age  who  had 
been  on  the  Bucknell  campus  as  a  student 
before  it  was  Bucknell  and  while  it  was  still 
to  be  for  11  years  the  University  at  Lewis- 
burg.  This  man,  Britain  G.  Roth,  is  a  gen- 
tleman whose  years  and  memories  go  far 
teck.  His  father  had  been  a  sea  captain 
with  the  East  India  Company  sailing  ships 
from  Liverpw>l  to  Calcutta.  Last  November 
the  \eu'  York  Times  carried  a  picture  of 
Mr.  Roth  and  a  story  about  him.  The  Times 
wa.s  evidently  quite  impressed  that  Mr.  Roth 
had  been  working  in  the  newspaper  business 
for  79  years.  He  still  writes  a  column  three 
times  a  week  for  the  Allcntrnvn  Chrniiicle 
with  which  he  began  his  newspaper  career. 
.As  the  Times  commented,  Mr.  Roth  holds  no 
brief  for  'the  g'Kjd  old  days.'  It  said :  'Mr. 
Roth  is  still  looking  ahead,  his  thinking 
geared  to  the  atomic  age.'  It  seems  to  me 
that  that  is  what  all  of  us  must  be  doing  in 
relation  to  the  life  around  us  both  local  and 
national  aiul  in  our  thinking  about  Bucknell 
University."

"Thi.s  campus  has  cliaiiKcd  a  lot  in  the 
la.tt  few  years.  This  very  year  we  put  to 
use  the  new  Olifi  .Science  Building  and  tlie 
James  S.  Swartz  Hall  and  John  Houghton 
Harri*  Dining  Hall  for  freshman  men,  we 
moved  the  mid-week  chapel  services  to  the 
new  unit  of  the  Uavis  fjymnasiuni,  and  we 
found  that  with  carefully  plannerl  remodeling 
the  old  Music  Buil'ling  could  he  a  model 
dormitory  for  freshman  women  atjd  the  old 
Chemistry  Building  could  lend  itself  to  music 
and  art.     Two  of  our  trustees,  Messrs.  A. 

S  K  I'  T  K  M  B  K  K    I  »  3  « 


Guy  Freas  and  Robert  L.  Rooke,  have  pro- 
vided a  swimming  pool  building  that  we 
have  been  watching  grow  this  winter  and 
spring.  Soon  the  building  of  the  front  unit 
of  the  Gymnasium  and  of  the  Cowan  Lodge 
sponsored  by  the  Christian  Association  will 
be  under  way." 

"Capital  and  other  gifts  received  by  the 
University,  not  including  the  money  from  the 
Ford  Foundation,  will  be  approximately  a 
half  million  dollars.  Our  bequest  program 
will  be  greatly  assisted  by  a  recent  piece  of 
Pennsylvania  legislation.  On  May  28  I  had 
the  privilege,  by  invitation,  of  being  present 
in  his  office  when  Governor  Leader  of  Penn- 
sylvania signed  Senate  Bill  151.  The  passage 
of  this  bill,  which  amends  the  Transfer  In- 
heritance Ta.x  Act  by  removing  on  June  1, 
1957,  the  15  percent  tax  on  bequests  to  chari- 
table, religious,  and  educational  organiza- 
tions, was  achieved  through  the  efforts  of 
our  own  Messrs.  Hawkins,  Sordoni,  and 
Spencer  and  others  who  wished  Bucknell 
and  our  sister  institutions  to  have  the  great 
benefits  that  will  accrue  from  it. 

"When  the  more  than  a  half  million  dollars 
which  the  Ford  Foundation  gave  us  becomes 
available  the  income  from  it  will  add  $20,000 
or  more  per  year  to  faculty  salaries,  but  we 
are  rather  proud  of  the  fact  that  even  without 
this  Ford  money  our  increases  made  between 
March  1955  and  September  1956  will  have 
added  $1,000  to  our  top  faculty  salaries  and 
considerably  more  than  $100,000  per  annum 
to  the  total  salaries  and  retirement  reserves 
of  our  faculty.  But  they  need  to  be  increased 
much  more. 

"We  are  turning  more  and  more  to  busi- 
ness for  financial  help,  but  again  I  cannot 
emjihasize  too  strongly  how  much  your  con- 
triliutions  to  the  Alumni  Fund  mean  to  your 
alma  mater.  As  a  result  of  your  gifts  this 
year,  we  shall  be  able  once  more  in  1955-56 
to  balance  our  budget  and  to  close  the  year 
withonl  rv<\  ink." 

*     *     * 

"1  don't  think  it  would  be  fair  to  repeat 
the  words  of  CJoethe  that  Matthew  Arnold 
liked  to  (|uote  and  to  say  of  Bucknell  'the 
little  that  is  done  seems  nothing  when  we  look 
forward  and  see  how  much  we  have  yet  to 
do.'  .As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  record  of  the 
decade  1946-1956  is  truly  one  upon  which 
Bucknell  .Alumni  may  look  with  pride.  And 
it  must  give  us  confidence  for  Ihe  future."

"This  sninJMcr  l)r.  \Villi;iin  II.  Coleniaii, 
Vice  I'residcnl  and  Dean,  will  retire  from 
his  Oeanshlp.  He  will  remain  with  us,  1  am 
glafi  to  say,  as  Vice  President  and  as  .Secre- 
tary of  the  Bucknell  .Study  and  will  provide 
coordinalioM  and  general  direction  for  that 
important  nirderlaking.  .\'o  inslilulion  stands 
still.     It  never  has  the   lin.il  and  uiiili;in(M' 


able  answers.  It  needs  periodically  to  ex- 
amine itself  and  to  determine  both  what  it 
is  trying  to  do  and  how  well  it  is  doing  it. 
"Dr.  Coleman's  successor  as  Dean  will  be 
Dr.  Karl  Drew  Hartzell,  at  present  Dean 
of  the  College,  Cornell  College,  Mount  Ver- 
non, Iowa.  He  is  a  graduate  of  the  Classical 
High  School  of  Newton,  Massachusetts,  and 
of  Wesleyan  University  in  Connecticut  where 
he  was  elected  to  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  served 
as  President  of  the  Christian  Association, 
captained  the  tennis  team,  and  participated 
in  varsity  swimming  and  soccer.  He  has  a 
Ph.D.  from  Harvard,  he  has  taught  history 
in  several  places,  and  he  has  been  connected 
administratively  with  the  Brookhaven  Na- 
tional Laboratory,  Upton,  Long  Island,  and 
the  Associated  Universities,  Inc..  contractor 
with  the  Atomic  Energy  Commission  for  the 
operation  of  the  Laboratory." 

*  *     * 

"One  might  appropriately  ask  at  this  point, 
what  about  future  enrollments  at  Bucknell? 
For  the  time  being,  at  least,  the  question  of 
possible  expansion  of  our  student  body  ap- 
pears to  be  purely  an  academic  one,  for  we 
are  currently  operating  at  capacity.  In  pass- 
ing, I  make  the  comment  that  admission 
standards  are  being  raised  because  of  limited 
capacity  and  a  larger  list  of  applicants  for 
admission.  It  is  more  difficult  to  get  into 
college  and  to  stay  in  college  than  it  was 
before  the  war." 

*  *     * 

"In  the  meantime,  student  life  continues  to 
be  happy  despite  rising  academic  standards. 
One  can  still  count  easily  on  one  hand  the 
geniuses  and  angels  he  meets  within  the 
student  body  in  a  year,  but  Bucknell  under- 
graduates are  a  fine  representative  group  of 
American  young  people.  During  the  past 
year  student  organizations  have  been 
strengthened.  More  all-university  events 
have  been  scheduled.  The  disagreeable  side 
effects  of  so-called  prohibition  may  happily 
be  on  the  way  out.  The  University's  alcoholic 
beverage  policy  has  been  under  review  since 
September  1954  and  there  have  been  discus- 
sions with  numerous  faculty  members,  trus- 
tees, students,  alumni,  parents,  and  friends 
of  the  University,  and  representatives  of  the 
Student-Faculty  Congress.  As  a  result  of 
this  careful  study,  the  University  Executive 
Committee  and  the  Trustees  concur  in  re- 
affirming the  policy  established  in  1949  by 
the  Board  of  Trustees,  believing  that  it  re- 
flects the  attitude  of  Bucknell  University  and 
is  in  its  best  interest.  The  statement  of 
policy  reads  :  'RESOLVED,  Tliat  the  posses- 
sion or  use  of  alcoholic  beverages  on  the 
campus,  including  fraternity  houses,  is  com- 
pletely opiwsed  to  the  best  interests  of  Buck- 
nell, and  any  use  thereof  resulting  in  discredit 
to  the  University  will  be  liandled  with  the 
utmost  severity.'  This  policy  has  been  fully 
discussed  with  student  leaders  with  assurance 
of  their  cooperation.  Next  year's  student 
leaders  working  with  officers  of  the  L'liiver- 
sity  have  developed  a  program  for  education 
and  control  which  gives  reason  to  hope  that 
the  whole  topic,  which  has  drawn  far  too 
nuich  attention,  will  give  place  to  more  im- 
portant LIniversity  matters."

AMONG  THE  CLUBS. 


ATLANTA— On  May  1,  the  Atlanta  Club 
of  Bucknell  Alumni  held  its  annual  meet- 
ing, attended  by  U  Alumni  from  the  Class 
of  '55  on  down  to  the  Class  of  '26. 

Sam  Tench  '26  and  Gil  Frith  '27  had  not 
seen  each  other  in  so  many  years  they 
failed  to  recognize  each  other.  However, 
they  both  forgave  the  oversight  and  had 
a  fine  time.  Bob  Ingols  '31  reported  that 
he  has  been  granted  a  Fulbright  Scholar- 
ship and  will  leave  in  the  fall  with  his 
family  for  Italy.  Mrs.  John  Wilkinson 
(Janet  Gallup  '40)  was  there  with  her 
husband,  John  W.  Wilkinson,  a  graduate 
of  North  Carolina  State.  On  leaving 
Bucknell,  Janet  attended  Simmons  College 
in  Boston.  They  have  three  children.  Lt, 
Edward  B.  Knorr  'S3  and  Mrs.  Knorr 
(Janet  Pope  '56)  drove  up  from  Colum- 
bus, Georgia,  to  be  with  us.  They  are 
rapidly  becoming  "Crackerized"  (a  term 
used  only  in  the  State  of  Georgia)  to  the 
extent  that  they  would  like  to  stay  here. 
We  had  a  fine  meeting,  although  the  num- 
ber attending  was  not  great.  We  were 
glad  for  the  opportunity  to  hear  from 
some  of  the  younger  people  and  to  renew 
acquaintances  with  some  of  the  older 
Alumni,  some  of  whom  we  hadn't  seen 
in  over  six  years.

BALTIMORE — A  pleasant  spring  drive 
was  requisite  for  the  May  9  meeting  of 
the  Baltimore  Bucknell  Alumni  Club,  for 
the  lovely  Sparrows  Point  Country  Clulj 
was  the  locale.  Our  "get-together"  was 
a  farewell  dinner  attended  by  35  Alumni 
and  their  families  in  honor  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Fred  O.  Schnure,  who  are  leaving  this 
area  for  New  Jersey.  Mr.  Schnure,  former 
superintendent  of  the  electrical  depart- 
ment of  Bethlehem  Steel  Corporation,  re- 
cently retired. 

Prior  to  the  "turkey  and  trimmings'' 
dinner,  we  chatted,  caught  up  with  alumni 
news  and  heard  more  about  the  Schnure's 
plans.  Following  dinner,  Mrs.  Anne  Mus- 
sina '32  introduced  our  "surprise"  guest 
of  the  evening,  Dr.  Dayton  L.  Ranck, 
who,  of  course,  really  needed  no  introduc- 
tion to  any  of  us.  He  spoke  briefly  of 
the  years  during  which  the  Schnures  at- 
tended Bucknell  and  expressed  our  senti- 
ments so  well  concerning  their  departure. 
We  learned  too  of  the  development  plans 
for  Bucknell's  future. 

Anne  then  presented  the  Schnures  with 
a  small  gift — a  tray  with  an  imprint  of 
Old  Main  upon  it.  The  Schnures,  who  as- 
sisted in  organizing  the  Baltimore  Buck- 
nell Alumni  Club  and  have  been  active  so 
many  years,  will  be  greatly  missed.  Our 
warm  wishes  for  success  in  their  new 
life  go  with  them.

BAPTISTS  AT  SEATTLE  —  Buckncl- 
lians  gathered  at  the  American  Baptist  Con- 
vention in  Seattle  on  June  21  at  a  luncheon 
at  the  Hotel  Edmond  Meany  under  the 
chairmanship  of  the  Rev.  Morse  Bettison,

local  Alumni  from  the  Seattle  area  also  at- 
tended the  luncheon.

CALIFORNIA  -  SOUTHERT^J  —  Over 
forty  Bucknellians  spent  a  pleasant  eve- 
ning at  the  Nikabob  Restaurant  in  Los 
Angeles  on  May  31.  The  meeting,  ar- 
ranged by  George  W.  Hardie,  Jr.  '49 
and  Josephine  LaBarr  Hardie  '48,  co- 
chairman  of  the  Southern  California  Club, 
featured  colored  pictures  of  campus  scenes 
and  events.  It  was  decided  that  the 
Southern  California  Bucknellians  have 
grown  to  the  point  where  a  fall  meeting 
should  be  attempted. 

CHARLESTON— A  small,  but  interest- 
ed, group  of  Bucknell  Alumni  from  West 
Virginia  held  a  dinner  meeting  in  Charles- 
ton on  June  22.  Bucknellians  in  West 
Virginia  are  widely  scattered  and  the  prize 
for  traveling  the  greatest  distance  certain- 
ly goes  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Jesse  E.  Riley 
'14,  who  traveled  about  125  miles  to  at- 
tend the  meeting.  At  a  brief  business  ses- 
sion tentative  plans  were  made  for  a 
meeting  in  the  fall  at  the  home  of  the 
Rileys  in  Grafton.  Officers  elected  are: 
President,  Jesse  E.  Riley  '14;  Vice  Presi- 
dent, Dr.  Coleman  J.  Harris  '12;  Secre- 
tary, Paul  W.  Emory  '31.  Buck  Shott

chester Hotel  in  Middletown  on  Saturday 
evening,  June  23.  After  a  delicious  meal

cation department  at  Bucknell.  Dr.  Wit- 
meyer, who  was  introduced  to  the  group  by 
Norma  Gotwalt,  related  to  us  the  most  prev- 
alent reasons  why  many  high  school  grad- 
uates are  not  well  prepared  for  college  today. 
Dr.  Witmeyer  recommended  a  broadening  of 
high  school  curriculums  as  one  possible  solu- 
tion for  this  educational  problem.  A  brief 
discussion  period  followed  this  presentation.

.Mumni  gathered  in  Dearborn,  Michigan,  the 
evening  of  June  23  at  the  residence  of  James 
and  Mary  Walter.  The  meeting  again 
proved  to'  be  informal  and  enjoyable  as  a 
result  of  the  program,  highlighted  by  "buffet 
supreme"  a  la  Mary  Walter. 

Those  attending  were  fortunate  to  have  as 
guest  speaker.  Dr.  Harold  Heine,  now  on  a 
faculty  leave  from  Bucknell  and  associated 
with  Dow  Chemical  of  Midland,  Michigan. 
A  residence  became  "the  Walter  Classroom" 
in  short  order  and  "Professor  Harold" 
brought  with  him  the  familiar  warmth  of 
our  campus  as  he  outlined  his  research  of 
Tetanus  Toxin.  .-Mumni  groups  take  notice !

PHILADELPHIA    ALUMNI    CLUB— 

X\'ednesday,  July  18,  1956,  the  Philadelphia 
Bucknell  Alumni  Club  Executive  Board  held 
a  meeting  to  plan  the  coming  season's  events. 
The  meeting  follow-ed  a  pleasant  social  time 
and  a  delicious  covered  dish  supper  at  the 
home  of  the  Robert  Dills.  Events  to  put  in 
your  calendar :  Splash  Party  for  the  Fresh- 
men, Tuesday,  August  28th,  at  the  Eastern

Country  Club. 

PROVIDENCE— New  England  was  the 
scene  of  two  newsworthy  events  on  June  30. 
The  Providence  .Area  Alumni  Club  held  its 
annual  picnic  in  Goddard  Park,  Rhode  Is- 
land :  while  New  Bedford,  Mass.,  played  host 
to  Gregory  Peck  who  was  there  for  the 
premiere  of  his  movie,  Moby  Dick.  Natural- 
ly, the  Bucknell  Alumni  magazine  calls  for 
an  enlargement  upon  the  former  event. 

The  weather  man  was  on  our  side  and 
gave  us  a  beautiful  day  for  the  outing.  Af- 
ter meeting  at  Goddard  Park,  we  went  to 
the  East  Greenwich  Yacht  Club  and  boarded 
John  Wilbur's  snappy  cabin  cruiser  for  a 
thoroughly  enjoyable  ride  of  Narragansett 
Bay.  Boat  ride  over,  we  drove  back  to  the 
park  and  devoured  our  picnic  suppers. 

No  decisions  concerning  our  first  meeting 
in  the  fall  were  made  because  our  president. 
Ken  Dannenhauer,  was  visiting  in  Washing- 
ton State  at  the  time  of  the  picnic.  Club 
members  will  receive  announcements  of  our 
plans  as  soon  as  they  are  made.

Cowan  Lodge  Dedication 

The  new  lodge  constructed  this  summer 
at  the  Cowan  Center  by  the  University 
Christian  Association,  will  be  dedicated  on 
Sunday  afternoon,  October  28.  Dr.  D.  M. 
Gritfith  'Z3,  chairman  of  the  Building  Com- 
mittee, is  in  charge  of  the  ceremony.  The 
speaker  for  the  occasion  will  be  Dr.  Ron- 
ald V.  Wells  of  the  Division  of  Higher 
Education,  American  Baptist  Convention. 
Dr.  Louis  W.  Robey  '04,  chairman  of  the 
campaign  committee,  will  also  participate. 

Funds  for  this  $50,000  project  have  been 
raised  by  the  University  Christian  Asso- 
ciation over  the  past  eighteen  months. 
More  than  600  individuals  have  subscribed. 
The  largest  single  contribution  came  from 
the  Bucknell  Mother's  Association,  $5,- 
000.00  for  the  kitchen.  Students  contrib- 
uted $2,650  for  furnishings. 

The  new  building  contains  a  large  lounge 
and  meeting  room,  25x48  feet.  On  one 
end  is  a  dormitory  for  28  men.  On  the 
other  is  the  modern  kitchen,  two  rooms 
for  chaperones,  and  a  dormitory  for  28  wo- 
men. Designed  by  Jens  Larson,  and  con- 
structed by  the  Sordoni  Construction 
Company  (both  of  whom  donated  their 
services),  the  building  is  in  keeping  with 
college  architecture. 

Although  not  to  be  dedicated  until  Oc- 
tober 28th,  the  iiuilding  will  be  in  use  this 
September,  Freshman  Camp  with  eighty 
persons  opens  on  September  13th  and 
runs  for  three  days.  It  is  foUoweil  by  a 
one  day  program  for  transfer  students. 
Other  campus  and  community  groups 
have  already  scheduled  it  for  use  this  fall. 

The  farm  house  has  been  renovated  this 
summer  for  a  caretaker  who  has  moved 
in  to  give  the  Center  constant  supervision 
and  maintenance.  When  funds  are  avail- 
able the  present  Men's  lounge  will  be  im- 
proved by  the  addition  of  a  fireplace, 
kitchenette  and  lavatory  in  order  to  make 
it  a  self  contained  unit  for  groups  of  twen- 
ty iir  less. 

The  Cowan  Lodge  facility  of  the  Dni- 
versity  provides  an  ol'f-cami)us  center  for 
retreats,  workshops,  fellowship,  and  rec- 
reation which  has  long  been  needed.  The 
new  building  is  an  impi'i'l^inl  asset  to  the

Grid  Prospects 

"You  know,  it  won't  be  long,"  said 
Harry  Lawrence.  The  gentleman  speak- 
ing, however,  was  not  Bucknell  University 
football  coach  Harry  Lawrence,  just  a 
reasonable  facsimile  thereof.  The  talka- 
tive gaffer  was  student  Harry  Lawrence, 
a  fellow  who  attends  Bucknell's  education 
summer  session  during  the  torrid  months. 
Professor  Lawrence  was  holding  forth  at 
Guy  Payne's  coffee  emporium. 

Student  Lawrence's  meaning  was  clear 
to  the  initiated.  He  would  soon  trade  the 
textbooks  and  pencils  for  a  baseball  cap 
and  whistle,  an  integral  part  of  his  grid- 
iron practice  attire.  Football  was  already 
pressing  baseball  for  space  on  the  sports 
pages.  Before  long,  Mr.  Lawrence  would 
again  be  a  football  coach. 

The  first  question  fired  was  direct  and 
to  the  point.  "How  does  it  look,  Harry? 
Are  we  going  to  be  better  than  last  year?" 

"A  good  deal  better."  The  answer  came 
candidly.  "We  were  a  green  team  during 
a  good  part  of  the  1955  season  and  at  the 
start  of  the  season  we  really  had  to 
scratch.  This  fall  the  shoe  is  on  the  other 
foot.  We  have  lettermen  at  almost  every 
position.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  we  haven't 
been  in  as  good  a  position  at  the  start  of 
a  season  since  1952." 

"A  couple  of  those  big  freshman  line- 
men looked  pretty  impressive  last  spring. 
Will  they  be  important  to  you  this  fall?" 

"They'll  be  important  alright.  We  need 
depth  at  the  tackles  and  I  hope  boys  like 
(Dick)  Hunn  and  (Tom)  Horsman  will 
fill  the  bill.     They  are  both  well  over  200 


pounds.  The  main  reason  that  we  should 
be  better  in  the  line,  however,  is  the  avail- 
ability of  a  number  of  veterans  from  last 
fall.  Experience  is  a  big  thing  in  foot- 
ball. It's  awfully  hard  to  toss  a  sopho- 
more into  the  breech.  He  has  to  be  real 
good." 

Lawrence  was  warming  to  the  task. 
Another  pull  on  the  coffee  cup  and  he 
was  ready  to  outline  his  19S6  forward 
wall. 

"We  are  in  good  shape  at  the  ends.  Both 
'55  regulars  —  Paul  Manning  and  Bill 
Reilly — are  back,  along  with  lettermen 
Bill  Walasek  and  Bruce  Nealy.  Walasek, 
a  junior,  has  come  along  very  well  and  is 
pressing  Reilly  for  a  starting  spot.  At 
tackle,  big  Bob  Holmes  should  be  capable 
at  one  side  and  Bob  Karwoski  has  an 
edge  as  his  running  mate.  If  the  sophs 
can  back  them  up,  we'll  be  OK  there,  too." 

"In  Ralph  Riker  and  Gene  Meenan  I 
start  with  two  excellent  guards.  Riker  is 
probably  the  best  lineman  on  the  roster. 
He  played  tackle  last  year  and  is  also 
ready  to  move  to  center  if  I  need  him 
there.  Al  Kenzie  has  first  call  on  the 
center  job,  but  if  he  can't  make  it,  I'll 
shift  Riker.  John  Michalski  and  newcom- 
er Lew  Hart  will  work  as  the  guard  re- 
serves." 

"Center,  then,  is  the  only  big  problem 
along  the  line?"  They  were  trying  to  push 
Harry  out  on  a  limb. 

"Let's  say  it  is  the  only  big  problem 
right  now.  Kenzie's  a  big  guy,  stands 
6-4  and  goes  about  212,  and  I  think  he 
can  make  it.  We  have  switched  him  from 
tackle.      If    I    have    to    move    Riker,    this

boy  Hart  may  be  OK  at  guard.  He  was 
the  best  of  the  line  newcomers  last  spring. 
Other  problems  will  arise,  though.  You 
can  bet  on  that." 

"Well,  how  about  the  backfield?  Will 
you  be  able  to  replace  Ford,  Sierer,  and 
McCartney?" 

"They  were  good  boys  with  lots  of  hit- 
ting ability,  and  Ford  was  as  good  a 
crashing  fullback  as  could  be  found  in 
the  East,  but  I  think  we  will  be  stronger 
in  the  backfield  this  fall,  too.  Jim  Stew- 
art is  back  and  that  quarterback  post  is 
the  key  to  your  backfield.  He  handles  the 
kicking,  too.  To  replace  Ford  we  have 
Don  Koppes,  the  boy  who  ran  wild  against 
Delaware  last  year,  gaining  over  100  yards 
on  the  ground.  Koppes  is  not  quite  as 
heavy  as  Ford,  but  he  has  good  outside 
speed  for  a  fullback  and  he's  real  smart. 
He  could  be  our  best  back." 

"At  halfback,  we  have  more  depth  this 
fall  and  also  more  speed.  Chuck  Wagner, 
when  he's  healthy,  is  as  fast  as  any  half- 
back around.  Jack  Brothers  and  Bob 
Fitzsimmons  are  lettermen  who  should 
be  improved  over  last  year.  Then  there 
is  Bill  Ross,  a  regular  in  1954  who  is  as 
natural  an  athlete  as  any  on  the  campus. 
And  don't  forget  Bob  Hershock.  He  was 
about  ready  for  regular  duty  in  '54,  but 
suffered  an  injury.  He  could  be  ready 
for  a  big  year." 

The  conversation  turned  to  the  various 
Bucknell  opponents  and  the  fact  that  the 
teams  in  the  Bucknell  orbit  will  not  be 
push-overs  by  any  means. 

"Don't  kid  yourself,"  declared  Lawrence, 
now  fully  accredited  as  a  coach  and  no 
longer  a  student,  "our  'league'  is  every 
bit  as  tough  as  the  Ivy  League.  Dela- 
ware will  be  a  tough  nut  to  crack  again 
this  fall  and  Lehigh  and  Lafayette  will 
also  be  strong.  Gettysburg  has  lost  a 
couple  of  key  men,  but  they  are  tough  for 
us  every  year.  We  are  better  this  fall, 
but  wins  will  still  be  tough  to  come  by." 

Was  Coach  Harry  being  optimistic? 
"You  bet  your  life,"  he  added.  "Football 
is  a  tough  sport.  If  you  look  at  the  dark 
side  of  things  all  the  time,  you  never 
sleep  nights.  Right  now  I  think  we  are 
in  pretty  good  shape,  but  we  have  eight 
Ijall  games  and  three  months  of  practice 
sessions  before  the  season  ends.  Don't 
forget  that  a  couple  of  key  injuries  may  put 
you  in  the  soup. 

"Yes,  I  think  we  are  better  than  last 
year,"  he  concluded.  "Let's  sit  down 
again  in  late  November  and  decide  how 
much  better!"

Southpaw  hurler  Don  Richards  of  Pitts- 
burgh and  centerfielder  Chuck  Sneath  of

tingent. Richards,  a  senior  who  holds 
four  all-time  Bison  baseball  marks,  won 
five  of  the  eight  games  copped  by  the 
Herd,  struck  out  115  and  posted  a  1.98 
earned  run  average.  Sneath,  a  junior,  bat- 
ted .360  and  had  17  runs  batted  in.  Buck- 
nell was  8-11  on  the  season. 

In  tennis,  junior  Jim  Stewart  of  Wayne, 
Pa.,  and  junior  Ben  Hollander  of  Mount 
Vernon,  N.  Y.,  led  Bucknell  to  a  9-9  split. 
Hollander  won  11  of  15  singles  matches, 
Stewart  eight  of  11.

Football  Practice 

Varsity  grid  coach  Harry  Lawrence  is

in  an  effort  to  have  his  charges  in  the  best 
possible  shape  for  their  curtain-raiser 
against  Albright  on  Sept.  22.  The  Bisons 
— nearly  40  strong — are  working  out  both 
morning  and  afternoon  on  the  Memorial 
Stadium  practice  field  turf.  Two  practice 
games  have  been  carded  prior  to  the  regu- 
lar season  opener. 


Spring  Sports  Round-up 

A  Middle  Atlantic  team  championship 
in  golf  topped  off  Bucknell  University's 
1956  spring  sports  program.  The  four 
Bison  spring  athletic  entries — the  golfers, 
the  track  team,  tlie  tennis  squad  and  the 
baseball  team — posted  an  over-all  win- 
ning record  of  28  wins,  26  losses  and  one 
tie. 

The  golfers,  who  gained  the  Universi- 
ty's first  MAC  title,  registered  the  best 
liucknell  golf  record  since  World  War  II. 
I'ac<'d  by  junior  I'.ob  Miller  of  Xenia,  ()., 
and  Junior  Jim  Ladd  of  Ml.  (irclna,  I'a,, 
the  team  logged  an  8-5-1  reconl. 

The  track  team,  undefeated  in  1955. 
missed  another  perfect  campaign  by  tin 
n)argin  of  four  points.  The  Herd  won 
three  dual  meets  and  lost  to  Albriglit  by 
a  62^  to  58)/^  count  in  a  triangular  nieel. 
The  three-for-four  i)erformance  gives  the 
Bisons  eight  wins  in  nine  outings  over  a 
three-year  period.

Dr.  and  Mrs.  Witmeyer  again  served  as  Fac- 
ulty Hosts.  After  a  prayer  by  President  Rev. 
Charles  M.  Teufel,  membership  certificates  were 
given  to  those  present.  After  the  group  picture 
was  taken.  Secretary  Charles  I.  Boyer  read  the 
minutes  of  the  1955  meeting,  and  the  reports  of 
the  Emeritus  Board  of  Directors  held  on  Janu- 
ary 24  and  March  20.  The  reports  were  adopted. 
They  recommended  that  members  take  an  in- 
terest in  local  Bucknell  Club  activities  and  in 
THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS;  called  atten- 
tion to  the  fact  that  21%  of  the  general  alumni 
contributed  to  the  Alumni  Fund,  while  the 
Emeritus  Club  percentage  is  35%  ;  that  Emeri- 
tus Club  members  think  about  Bucknell  when 
making  their  wills ;  the  Board  and  Emeritus 
Club  also  expressed  its  appreciation  of  the  ser- 
vices rendered  by  Alumni  Headquarters,  and  of 
the  encouragement  given  the  Emeritus  Club  by 
the  University.  President  Teufel  stated  that  let- 
ers  of  felicitation  had  been  received  from  thirty 
some  members  who  were  unable  to  attend.  It 
was  moved  and  carried  to  re-elect  all  the  old 


officers  with  the  exception  of  Secretary-Treasur- 
er Boyer  who  declined  to  serve  again.  Wil- 
liam G.  Murdock  was  nominated  for  Secretary- 
Treasurer,  and  the  following  were  then  elected : 
President,  Rev.  Charles  M.  Teufel  '04;  Vice 
President.  Prof.  Frank  Burpee  '01  ;  Secretary- 
Treasurer,  William  G.  Murdock  '04 ;  Class  Fund

porter, Miss  Mary  Cotton  '96;  members  of  the 
Board,  Dr.  Mabel  Grier  Lesher  '01  and  Mrs. 
Sarah  Judd  Shields  '02. 

Twenty  members  and  eight  guests  attended  the 
meeting.  After  the  Alumni  Luncheon  a  number 
of  the  Emeritus  Club  relaxed  and  reminisced  at 
our  social  headquarters  at  the  Walker  House. 

The  Emeritus  Club  now  numbers  about  five 
hundred.  Certificates  of  membership  were  mailed 
to  those  who  could  not  attend  the  reunion,  and 
excerpts  from  the  letters  of  felicitation  were 
mailed  by  the  Alumni  Secretary  to  all  members 
of  the  Emeritus  Club.

Club,  which  also  includes  1901  members,  and  a

separate  one  of  our  own  group  (lower  left.. 
Most  of  us  attended  the  regular  meeting  of  the 
Emeritus  Club,  following  which  we  proudly  car- 
ried canes,  insignia  of  Emeritus  Club  member- 
ship, and  under  the  banner  of  1901  headed  tie 
alumni  parade  to  the  Davis  Gymnasium,  wheie 
an  unusually  large  number  enjoyed  the  annual 
.Alumni  Luncheon. 

Our  real  class  reunion  occurred  at  the  Walker 
House  in  the  early  afternoon.  Following  a  brief 
business  session,  over  which  the  retiring  Presi- 
dent, Charles  Bidelspacher  presided,  we  enjoyed 
greetings  and  snapshots  received  from  absent 
members,  some  of  whom  had  hoped  to  be  present. 

We  were  much  interested  to  heaj  that  Raj- 
mond  Pierson,  editor  of  our  Reunion  L' Agenda, 
had  secured  an  up-to-date  record  of  the  activities 
of  all  but  one  of  us  living  members,  a  complete 
list  of  those  enrolled  from  the  Academy,  Insti- 
tute and  College  in  the  class  of  1901  and  other 
unique  features  and  contributions  that  were  ir  - 
eluded  in  our  reunion  booklet.  Copies  were  dis- 
tributed to  those  present  and  were  later  mailed 
to  those  unable  to  join  us  in  our  reunion.     j\ 


CLASS   OF    1 


The  reunion  of  the  Half-Century  Class 
brought  real  satisfaction  far  beyond  expecta- 
tions of  those  members  so  fortunate  as  to  at- 
tend. The  planned  activities  were  a  credit  to 
the  committee  in  charge.  The  courtesy  extend 
ed  by  our  Alma  Mater  in  entertaining  us  so 
graciously  was  much  appreciated.  We  were  im- 
pressed by  the  great  improvements  in  our 
campus  even  though  they  made  us  feel  almost 
strangers. 

Very  fortunate  was  the  group  housed  in  the 
attractive  new  men's  dormitory,  Swartz  Hall, 
with  its  beautiful  lounge  and  cafeteria  (lacking 
only  for  our  comfort  was  one  small  can  of  "3 
in  1"  oil).  Best  of  all  was  the  opportunity  to 
live  together  informally  for  a  few  days,  chatting 
in  halls,  in  doorways  or  gathered,  as  in  other 
days,  for  visits  too  far  into  the  night  and  far 
noisier  than  '06  Seminary  rules  allowed.  We 
liked  our  various  '06  in-laws  and  hope  they 
were  not  too  bored  by  their  husband's  friends.

ni  jment  of  silence  was  observed  in  memory  of 
our  deceased  members. 

Mabel  Leslier's  report  that  100%  of  us  who 
graduated  from  the  College  and  the  Institute 
ai  d  that  five  of  the  seven  x-grads  had  contri- 
bi  ted  to  the  Alumni  Fund  this  past  year,  set  an 
aL-time  record  and  was  received  with  enthusi- 
asm. Final  figures,  with  two  In  Memoriam  gifts, 
plus  the  addition  of  $1.00  for  every  $2.00  contib- 
uted  by  the  class  (promised  by  a  loyal  Aluni- 
nr.s  to  the  total  contributions  from  all  alumni 
the  past  year)  enabled  us  to  report  $1,080.50  as 
oiT  1901  Fifty-Fifth  Reunion  gift  to  our  Alma 
Mater. 

The  following  officers  were  elected  for  the

CLASS  OF    1911 


The  effect  of  the  years  was  interesting  to  see. 
All,  we  trust,  have  lived  creditable,  useful  lives, 
and  a  gofxJIy  number  have  made  notable  success 
in  their  various  chosen  fields — medicine,  minis- 
try, law,  engineering,  education  and  business. 
Wc  of  '<)f>  are  justly  proud  of  them.  In  a  brief

We  answered  our  questionnaires,  jotted  down 
dates,  and  planned  to  go  to  Bucknell  for  that 
big"  4Sth.  Then  things  happened  like  arthritis, 
grandchildren,  absence  from  country,  and  the 
like.  So  when  we  finally  got  there  for  that  jam 
session  at  the  University  Cafeteria,  there  were 
many  gaps  in  our  ranks.  But  a  few  hardy  souls 
arrived,  told  the  usual  little  white  lies,  "You 
haven't  changed  a  bit !"  "I'd  have  kown  you  any- 
where !"  and  altogether  had  an  exciting  time  of 
it.  The  jam  session  gave  us  a  chance  to  meet 
members  of  other  reuning  classes,  as  well  as  to 
hear  Buck  Shott  give  his  inspiring  message  on 
the  State  of  the  Alumni. 

Saturday  we  got  together  for  informal^  busi- 
ness. That  was  when  our  president,  Jim  Tyson, 
tried  to  bow  out  of  the  picture.  Nobody  ap- 
proved of  this  modest  gesture  and  he  was  re- 
elected with  a  flourish,  thanks  to  the  grand  job 
he  has  done.  To  help  him  we  elected  2  veeps, 
Earl  Hinman  and  Nelson  Crossman.  Frank 
Davis  who  has  done  a  swell  job  in  preparing 
the  reunion  booklet  was  rewarded  with  the  job 
of  class  reporter.  Our  secretary  will  be  Grace 
Cobb  Hann,  while  Nelson  Crossman  will  double 
as  fund  manager. 

Our    "1956    Anniversary   L'Agenda,"   as   Jim 


calls  it,  could  only  hint  at  the  impressive  1911 
achievements.  The  undersigned  —  incidentally 
the  only  feminine  member  to  hobble  back — had 
the  fun  of  seeing  daughter  Marguerite's  design 
used  on  the  cover.  Incidentally  too,  the  original 
sketch  of  the  great  oak  that  from  a  tiny  1911 
acorn  grew,  showed  names  of  various  fields 
printed  on  the  leaves.  Any  do-it-yourself  ad- 
dicts may  write  in  the  words  Medicine,  Law, 
Teaching,  Science,  Ministry,  Homemaking,  etc. 

Came  the  breathless  moment  when  we  tried 
to  shed  the  last  25  years  for  our  class  photo. 
The  gals  in  the  picture — excepting  this  one — are 
wives  of  the  handsome  men  furnished  by  1911. 

Oh  yes,  before  the  picture-taking,  we  read 
excerpts  from  letters  of  absent  classmates.  Es- 
pecially meaningful  is  this  from  Margaret  Cur- 
tis Bush  of  Montrose.  "Isn't  it  true  that  we  al- 
ways feel  well  acquainted  with  the  friends  we 
made  in  school,  even  though  we  may  not  meet 
for  years?  I  treasure  these  friendships  especially, 
because  I  always  feel  that  I  didn't  have  to  work 
for  them.     They  were  just  handed  to  me." 

Thank  you,  Margaret !  We  couldn't  have 
e-xpressed  it  half  so  well.

selves  quartered  on  the  same  floor  of  the  new 
Swartz  Dormitory  for  Men.  On  Saturday 
morning  we  congregated  in  the  Olin  Science 
Building  after  the  Alumni  Meeting  and  began 
to  get  thawed  out,  for  it  was  not  always  easy 
to  figure  the  other  fellow  out.  Identification 
finally  became  complete  even  to  Brigadier  Gen- 
eral "Peachy"  Wolfe  and  Shailer  Ventres 
with  that  moustache.  Shorty  Snyder  because  of 
mug  and  stature  everyone  knew  immediately. 
Davy  showed  up  (late  as  usual)  with  carna- 
tions for  us  all  and  a  numeraled  ribbon  with 
which  we  bedecked  ourselves  and  then  ate  up  a 
storm  at  the  All-Alumni  Luncheon  in  Davis 
Gym  where  we  heard  some  good  speeches  and 
saw  the  coronation  of  Ed  Pangburn  as  Buck- 
nellian  of  the  Year.    We  had  to  march  to  the 


gym  and  all  of  us  made  it  on  foot  except  Carrie 
Foresman  Jones  who  pleased  us  all  by  attend- 
ing though  crippled  a  bit  with  paralysis. 

In  the  afternoon  we  got  together  at  the  Day- 
ton Rancks  to  enjoy  his  new  home  and  more 
fraternizing.  Some  whom  we  had  not  seen 
earlier,  like  Glass,  Hartman,  Showers,  Bryant 
et  al,  trotted  in  to  swell  the  numbers.  Letters 
from  Olive  Park  Stout,  Martha  Park  Whitman, 
Albert  Gilpin,  Derb  Bartholomew,  Sara  Hil- 
bish  Post,  Mary  Belle  Lees,  Cecile  McCollum, 
Roscoe  Davis,  Kimber  Persing,  Amy  Patterson 
Stevenson,  Florence  Rollins,  John  Kurtz  and 
Jerome  Salsbury  were  passed  around  the  com- 
pany. After  more  clacking  of  the  upper  and 
lowers  we  broke  up  conceding  we  had  had  a 
right  fair  "country"  time  of  it.

"Thirty-five  years  is  a  long,  long  time.  Too 
many  of  us  have  not  returned  to  our  Alma  Mater 
since  graduation.  Too  many  of  us,  despite 
good  intent,  have  neglected  to  correspond  with 
fellow  classmates.  Unfortunately,  some  of  our 
members  are  no  longer  with  us."  So  starts  Nels 
Rounsley  in  his  foreword  of  our  Reunion  Book. 

To  miss  a  reunion,  and  particularly  the  thir- 
ty-fifth, was  to  miss  the  glad  handshakes  of  wel- 
come, the  amazed  expressions  when  certain  ones 
had  not  been  recognized,  and  the  inner  warmth 
which  seemed  to  radiate  in  just  being  back 
with  the  old  gang  again.  It  was  fun  and  we 
missed  all  those  who  couldn't  be  with  us  but 
you'll  want  a  Reunion  Book,  nevertheless.  Hom- 
er Eaton,  who  hadn't  been  back  in  these  thirty- 
five  years,  did  an  outstanding  job.  It  was  so 
good  to  see  Homer  again.  The  Reamers  (La- 
Rue  and  Francis)  assisted,  so  they,  too,  made 
the  book  worth  having.  In  their  "Reflections" 
I  quote,  "How  different  the  viewpoint  of  1956 
from  that  of  1921 !  Reunions  are  made  to  re- 
kindle the  flame  of  friendship  and  comradeship 
which  the  word  'classmate'  implies.  It  is  to 
YOU,  fellow  classmates  to  whom  this  Reunion 
Book  is  dedicated;  to  our  friendship  created  in 
Bucknell  and  to  Bucknell,  itself,  without  which 
there  would  be  no  Thirty-fifth  Anniversary." 
Send   for   your    Reunion    Book    ($1)    to    Buck 


Shott,  payable  to  Bucknell  University. 

For  those  who  couldn't  attend,  you'll  want  to 
know  what  happened  besides  the  fun  of  remi- 
niscing and  being  photographed.  Nels  Rounsley 
presided.  Since  he  is  our  Class  Fund  Manager, 
naturally,  he  promoted  that  project.  We  all 
wore  red  paper  carnations  with  a  1921  ribbon 
attached.  Class  officers  were  elected  with  the 
following  slate  being  accepted :  President,  Stan- 
ford Kunkle  ;  Vice  President,  John  Carter  ;  Sec- 
retary, Sarah  Bernhart  Derr ;  Class  Fund  Man- 
ager, Nels  Rounsley. 

Poor  me,  I  was  selected  as  Class  Reporter 
again  but  accepted  only  on  the  condition  that 
you  will  all  co-operate.  When  you  receive  your 
BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS,  immediately  you 
turn  to  1921  news  only  to  find  a  .smattering  of 
news  or  perhaps  nothing  at  all.  What  a  disap- 
pointment!  If  you  like  to  be  informed  about 
your  classmates — well,  that  idea  can  be  reversed. 
Won't  you  please  send  me  the  data  about  your- 
self promptly?  We  like  to  know  what  YOU 
are  doing. 

We  all  attended  the  Alumni  Luncheon  after 
having  marched  down  the  hill  with  the  other 
reuning  classes.  At  three  o'clock  the  '21ers 
met  at  Spratt  House  for  a  social  time.  Now, 
we  have  big  ideas  formulating  for  the  fortieth.

CLASS  OF    1926 


Yes,  those  Alumni  in  the  line  of  march  to  the 
gym  with  green  Robin  Hood  hats  were  the 
members  of  the  Class  of  '26.  There  were  forty- 
seven  classmates  back  for  our  thirtieth  reunion. 
We  wish  all  of  you  could  have  been  on  the 
campus  for  we  had  the  best  time  catching  up  on 
the  news.  According  to  the  record  Asa  Eaton 
and  his  family  came  the  greatest  distance— from 
Oregon.  .

Saturday  morning  we  had  our  business  meeting 
in  the  Bertrand  Library.  Due  to  the  absence 
of  our  president,  Fred  Evans,  our  vice  president, 
Florence  Utt  Focht,  presided.  Jack  and  Bill 
Miller  were  our  faculty  hosts.  They  saw  to  it 
that  everyone  had  a  good  time.  We  had  hoped 
to  have  a  reunion  booklet,  but  not  enough  class-

Impressions  of  a  Twenty-fifth  Class  Reunion 
As  Written  to  An  Ex-Bucknell  Son 

Dear  Son, 

This  is  a  pleasant  day,  especially  fine  for 
reminiscing. 

My  only  care  at  the  moment  is  pulling  weeds 
out  of  our  new  lawn.  This  is  not  really  a  diffi- 
cult task  except  for  the  fact  that  the  weeds  are 
a  little  stubborn,  and  for  some  unaccountable 
reason,  I  don't  get  up  and  down  quite  as  fast 
as  I  used  to— say  twenty-five  years  ago. 

To  lighten  my  chore  I  have  provided  myself 
with  the  best  weed-pulling  equipment  available, 
including  two  rose-colored  coolie  hats  that  are 
lying  beside  me  on  the  grass  like  two  over- 
sized blossoms.  One  is  mine,  but  the  elastic 
broke  in  it  so  I  borrowed  your  father's.  We 
wore  them  on  June  ninth  at  our  twenty-fifth 
class  reunion  at  Bucknell.  They  are  gay  re- 
minders of  a  never-to-be-forgotten  weekend 
which  I  promised  to  tell  you  about,  since  you 
were  away  and  could  not  be  with  us. 

The  campus  seemed  quite  deserted  as  we  com- 
pleted our  registration  at  the  old  library  (Car-

Hall,  the  fine,  new  dormitory  where  so  many 
Alumni  made  their  headquarters. 

Son,  you  would  have  enjoyed  our  exploratory 
tour.  On  each  door  we  read  the  names  of  re- 
turning classmates.  .Sometimes  a  door  would 
open  suddenly  and  there  before  us  would  be  an 
old  friend.  Or  rounding  a  corner  ahead  of  us 
wnild  !«-•  a  vaguely  familiar  figure,  a  little  more 
corpulent  and  spare  on  top,  perhaps,  hut  familiar, 
nevertheless.  .Such  exclamations  of  delight. 
iUch  han'Lihaking  and  hearty  greetings  would 
have  l)ccti  a  revelation  to  you. 

And  as  this  went  on  aTid  on,  the  (|ui<ft  left.

The  .-Vlumni  Class  Meeting  in  Bertrand  Li- 
brary was  the  high  spot  of  the  morning.  Many 
newcomers  arrived  for  this  e\'ent.  It  was  as 
much  as  Class  President  Eddie  Smalstig  could 
do  to  interrupt  the  continuous  round  of  greet- 
ings to  get  the  meeting  started ;  but  once  at  the 
helm,  Eddie  presided  like  the  veteran  he  is, 
getting  people  elected  to  this  or  that  office  or 
committee,  and  accepting  promptly  and  gracious- 
ly for  them. 

With  the  meeting  adjourned,  preliminary  plans 
already  made  for  the  next  reunion,  coolie  hats 
sold  all  'round,  and  the  class  picture  taken, 
the  Class  of  1931  fell  in  line  for  the  .\lumni 
Parade  down  Senior  Path  and  Lit  Road  to  the 
Davis  Gymnasium  for  the  Reunion  Luncheon. 
Without  a  doubt  it  was  the  gayest,  most  talk- 
ative, heart-warming  gathering  I  think  I  have 
seen  since — well — since  our  last  reunion  five 
years  ago. 

By  mid-afternoon  our  class  had  assembled 
again  for  its  own  private  reunion  at  the  Otzin- 
achson  Country  Club  near  Milton  where  friend- 
ships and  old  ties  were  renewed  in  a  more 
leisurely    fashion.      Family    pictures    were    dis- 


played and  everybody  tried  to  bring  everybody 
else  up-to-date  about  husbands,  wives,  and  chil- 
dren. Many  a  campus  experience  was  relived 
with  nostalgia.  Reluctantly  the  class  finally  said 
their  farewells  and  departed  for  fraternity  or 
sorority  symposia  or  for  private  dinner  parties. 

The  Alumni  Jamboree,  an  all  campus  party 
held  in  the  gymnasium  at  nine  that  evening, 
brought  an  eventful  day  to  a  pleasant  climax, 
and  the  official  close  of  our  class  reunion. 

If  some  of  us  were  a  little  slow  on  recognition 
or  hard  pressed  to  remember  the  right  name  to 
go  with  a  familiar  face  at  first,  we  soon  recov- 
ered from  the  first  shock  of  seeing  a  little  less 
hair  and  a  lot  more  waistline.  By  the  time  Sun- 
day morning  arrived,  all  88  of  our  returning 
members  looked  pretty  good  to  each  other.  The 
concensus  of  opinion  was  that  we  hadn't  changed 
a  bit,  or  if  we  had,  it  was  only  for  the  better. 

See  what  the  years  do  for  you,  Son?  I  hope 
you  have  as  much  fun  at  your  twenty-fifth  re- 
union.

CLASS   OF    1936 


It  was  good  to  see  the  33  members  of  the 
273  graduates  of  the  Class  of  '36  at  our  20th 
reunion.  It  was  surprising  how  little  some  had 
changed  in  appearance.  Lee  Rohde  and  Kenny 
Herrold  had  added  a  few  extra  pounds,  but 
George  Johnson  and  Howdy  Clark  still  main- 
tained sylph-like  figures. 

Albert  Rutgers  Conover,  Aurora,  Colo.,  whose 
interesting  letter  was  read  at  the  meeting  won 
the  prize  for  the  class  member  having  the  most 
children,  six !  Dick  Engdahl,  Columbus.  Ohio, 
with  his  wife  and  four  children  had  the  largest 
family  in  attendance  at  the  reunion,  Betty  Sin- 
del  Clavell,  San  Juan,  Puerto  Rico,  came  the 
greatest  distance.  Regrets  were  also  read  from 
Charlotte  Shupe  Brown  upon  her  inability  to 
attend,  but  she  promised  to  be  present  in  1961 
for  our  2.Sth.  Harold  Evans  was  touring  luiroi>e 
with  his  wife  and  daughter.  Walter  Anclerson 
and  his  wife  were  on  a  cruise,  and  Dick  Gillicrl 
was  in  London  combining  business  with  plea- 
sure. They  have  all  promised  to  be  in  Lewis- 
burg  for  the  next  big  event.  (Reserve  your 
dorm  rooms  early!).  Bill  Moir  and  Roger  Am- 
nion had  promised  me  over  the  teleplione  to  be 
there,  but  they  didn't  show  up.  Am  1  going  to 
get  after  them  right  now  for  our  2.Sth  1 

Our  class  meeting  was  presided  over  by  our 
jovial  Class  President,  Charles  Kotlcanip,  who 
has  served  .so  elTiciently  since  ICd  McKee  re- 
signed several  years  ago.  Professor  Clyde  I'^ 
Burgee,  chairman  of  the  Department  of  ICco- 
nomics,  served  as  our  faculty  liost. 

The  nominating  connnitlee  con)poscd  of  Jtnie 
(Hunt  I^)se,  John  H,  Davis,  Jr.,  and  Lee  Rohde 
presented  the  following  slate  of  odicers  who 
were  unaiiiniously  elected  ;     Charlc.H  Kotlcanip, 


President ;  Bob  Jones,  Vice  President ;  Hope 
Park,  Secretary  and  Eric  Stewart,  Treasurer. 

Incidentally,  did  you  see  the  grand  job  Eric 
and  his  committee  did  on  the  Reunion  Book? 
Howdy  Clark,  who  also  served  as  reunion  chair- 
man, did  the  clever  art  work.  Be  sure  and  send 
in  your  dollar  for  a  copy.  The  reading  of  the 
144  biographies  is  most  interesting.  In  addi- 
tion to  the  biographical  sketches,  the  booklet 
contains  a  list  of  the  professions,  occupations  and 
pursuits  of  our  class  members,  as  well  as  high- 
liglu  experiences;  class  ties  (1936  inemliers 
married  to  Buckncllians)  ;  veterans  club;  class 
roster  and  the  geograi)hical  distribution  of  class 
members.  The  record  number  who  rei>lied  to 
Ihe  (|uestiomiaires  shows  how  diligently  I'-ric 
and  his  committee  worked.  Wliere  were  the 
other  129?  With  only  11  deceased  (did  yon 
notice  they  were  all  men?)  and  33  lost  addresses, 
it  means  H.S  people  did  not  lake  the  time  to  an- 
swer the  questionnaire. 

John  li.  Davis,  Jr.  was  named  chairman  for 
the  2.Sth  reunion  to  be  held  in  1961,  at  which 
time  we  will  be  glad  to  see  the  33  members 
who  showed  up  in  1956  plus  those  who  were 
unable  to  attend  the  5th,  lOth,  15th  or  20th. 

Lois  Burgee,  our  class  reporter,  urged  every- 
one to  send  in  news  for  our  class  column  in 
THIC  HUCKNICLL  ALUMNUS.  Don't  be 
afraid  of  sounding  egotistical,  your  friends  are 
always  interested  in  what  you  are  doing. 

Hob  Jones  volunteeri'd  to  match  the  class 
members'  contributions  to  the  Hnckiicll  Alumni 
l''und,  and  we  raised  $5001  Was  Hob  soi-ry; 
we  hope  not  I  It  was  the  first  time  1  have 
contributed  to  the  Fund,  always  meaning  to  do 
it   "tomorrow!"     (The  older   we  get,  the  more

we  procrastinate).  President  Kottcamp  made 
the  motion  which  was  unanimously  passed  by 
the  class,  of  thanking  Bob  for  his  magnanimous 
gesture. 

Bill  Iveson,  John  Decker,  Emma  Angstadt 
Wallers,  Betty  Koehler  Fredericks,  and  Marie 
Rockwell  Bates  arrived  too  late  to  be  in  the 
class  picture.  Betty  Sindel  Glavell  and  Margy 
Blair  Mathias  were  present,  but  I  don't  see 
them  in  the  picture.  All  those  you  see  in  it  are 
not  class  members,  some  of  them  are  wives, 
husbands  and  children  of  reuning  '36ers,  and 
we  were  delighted  to  have  them  present. 


Ed  Reisman,  whose  hobby  is  photography, 
did  a  professional  job  of  filming  this  20th  re- 
union. One  of  the  features  of  our  25th  will  be 
the  showing  of  us  in  our  white  sailor  caps.  (We 
are  hoping  to  have  a  sneak  preview  at  Home- 
coming). When  you  come  in  '61,  we  will  have 
Chinese  Coolie  affairs  for  you  to  wear.  Tres 
chic!  and  only  $1.00.

had  been  there.     Will  I  see  you  in  '61  ?  ?  ?  ?

CLASS  RE 


Forty-six  from  '46  came  back  for  our  Tenth 
Reunion.  The  University  provided  every  con- 
venience for  the  alumni  and  their  families.  One 
enjoyable  feature  was  the  grouping  of  classes 
on  definite  dormitory  floors,  with  4th  floor 
Swartz  Hall  coed  for  returning  couples. 

Friday  the  weather  man  predicted  a  clear 
weekend.  Only  a  Bucknellian  can  believe  what 
really  happened.  It  was  cloudy,  a  fine  mist,  and 
a  haze  over  the  river.  Saturday  began  with 
breakfast  at  John  Houghton  Harris  Cafeteria, 
followed  by  viewing  the  campus  in  daylight. 
The  renovations,  new  buildings  and  swimming 
pool  at  Davis  Gym  were  duly  admired.  After 
"ogling"  the  NEW  Bucknell  we  held  a  class 
meeting.  The  Nominating  Committee's  slate  of 
officers  for  the  next  five  years  was  unanimously 
elected : 

President :  J.  Dudley  Waldner,  Upper  Mont- 
clair,  New  Jersey;  Vice  President:  Eleanor 
Dillon  Strictland,  Red  Bank,  New  Jersey ;  Sec- 
retary and  Class  Reporter :  Elizabeth  Wells 
Evving,  Livonia,  Michigan ;  Treasurer  and  Fund 
Manager :  Fitz  Roy  Walling,  Lewisburg,  Penn- 
sylvania ;   Assistant  Treasurer  and  Fund  Man- 


The  ISth  Reunion  of  the  Class  of  1941  was 
very  much  enjoyed  by  more  than  forty  class 
members  who  attended  and  I'm  sure  very  much 
missed  by  many  more  who  did  not  attend.  How- 
ever, the  response  and  cooperation  of  those  who 
were  asked  to  contact  other  class  members  and 
urge  them  to  attend  was  very  encouraging. 
Even  though  they  were  not  able  to  get  everyone 
to  the  reunion  many  contact  committee  members 
reported  back  that  they  enjoyed  talking  to  fellow 
class  members  who  lived  near  them.  I  believe 
this  to  be  a  good  sign  that  everyone  will  work 
harder  and  look  forward  to  a  real  big  20th 
reunion. 

Back  to  the  ISth  reunion  (Let's  don't  push 
those  years  too  hard).  In  the  morning  meet- 
ing, conducted  by  Matt  Mansuy,  everyone  pres- 
ent reported  on  his  or  her  activities  for  the  past 
IS  years  and  also  told  of  the  whereabouts  of 
other  class  members  who  were  unable  to  be 
present.    This  was  a  most  interesting  session. 

Howard  Hartzell  was  elected  class  president 
and  he  is  already  thinking  about,  and  working 


on,  plans  and  ideas  to  get  the  class  together  at 
times  other  than  the  regular  reunion  years  (any 
ideas  or  suggestions  on  this  will  be  appreciated). 
For  some  class  members  it  was  their  first  visit 
to  the  campus  in  IS  years,  and  it  seemed  to  be 
the  opinion  of  everyone  that  while  the  campus 
may  have  made  many  changes  the  Class  of  '41 
was  still  the  same. 

Other  officers  are  :  President,  Reverend  How- 
ard Hartzell ;  Vice  President,  Lee  S.  Ranck ; 
Secretary.  Mrs.  Jeanne  Steele  Hasselberger ; 
Treasurer,  Mrs.  Marian  Reynolds  Green ;  Class 
Fund  Manager,  Mrs.  B.  Eloise  Garber  Graybill ; 
Class  Reporter,  Mrs.  Jeanne  Steele  Hasselber- 
ger ;  Reunion  Chairman  and  Committee,  Lee  S. 
Ranck. 

Let's  make  our  next  reunion  even  bigger  and 
better,  but  in  the  meantime,  keep  in  touch  with 
the  class  members  in  your  own  area.  By  the 
way — let's  all  come  back  to  the  campus  for 
Homecoming  October  20.

No  sooner  had  we  arrived  on  campus  than 
the  years  intervening  between  graduation  and 
our  Fifth  Year  Reunion  seemed  to  slip  away, 
and  we  were  once  again  the  happy  group  that 
used  to  shout,  'We're  the  class  that's  full  of 
fun ;  we're  the  class  of  '51  !" 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Harry  Lawrence,  our  gracious

thanks  for  his  work  as  fund  manager  for  the 
past  seven  years.  The  class  treasury  of  several 
hundred  dollars  has  been  held  for  us  in  the  Uni- 
versity' Fund,  and  we  voted  to  leave  it  there, 
collecting  interest,  until  a  worthy  need  arose. 
Congratulations  are  due  Bill  \Mlkinson  who  was 
elected  to  the  Board  of  Directors  of  The  Gener- 
al Alumni  Association. 

In  colorful  top  hats  we  posed  for  class  pic- 
tures, joined  the  parade  down  the  Lit  path  to 
Davis  Gym  for  the  All-Alumni  Luncheon.  A 
class  get-together  at  the  "Burger"  followed, 
then  Symposias,  and  finally  a  dance  in  the  new 
gym  "annex"  (excellent  student  floor  show  also) 
wound  up  the  festivities. 

If  those  of  you  who  did  not  attend  will  send 
one  dollar  to  Buck  Shott.  paj'able  to  Bucknell 
University,  you  will  receive  a  copy  of  the  Tenth 
Reunion  Book,  full  of  addresses  and  informa- 
tion about  classmates.  ( You  did  a  grand  job, 
Patti).     See  you  in  1961  !

From  graduation  caps  to  firemen's  hats  in  one 
year !  Reunion  weekend  found  the  Class  of 
1955  joining  as  alumni  for  the  first  time  and 
sporting  red  firemen's  hats  as  identification. 

The  hats  couldn't  be  missed — however,  some 
of  the  class  members  were  when,  Saturday 
morning,  June  9,  at  10  :30  a.  m.,  the  class  meet- 
ing was  called  to  order  in  Bertrand  Library. 
The  early  birds  who  had  arrived  in  time  for 
the  meeting  discussed  various  points  of  business 
under  the  guidance  of  Class  Vice  President 
Martha  Jones,  who  presided  in  the  absence  of 
Joseph  i^nglish.  Dr.  Norman  H.  Stewart,  to 
whom  the  class  L'Agenda  had  been  dedicated, 
kindly  offered  his  assistance  as  adviser  to  '55ers. 

Those  present  at  the  meeting  renewed  friend- 
ships as  each  related  a  little  about  himself  and 
his  life  since  graduation.     Following  the  meet- 


ing reunion  booklets  containing  names,  address- 
es, and  interesting  details  about  each  member 
of  the  class  were  distributed. 

Posing  for  pictures,  marching  in  the  reunion 
parade,  and  feasting  on  a  delicious  luncheon 
occupied  the  early  afternoon.  At  3 :30  p.  m. 
class  members  became  hosts,  hostesses,  and 
guests  for  a  '55  party  at  the  Milton  Country 
Club.  Saturday  evening"  class  members  scattered 
over  the  300  acres — each  seeking  his  particular 
type  of  entertainment — Cap  and  Dagger's  "The 
Glass  Menagerie,"  Alumni  Jamboree,  or  a  so- 
cial gathering. 

As  first-year  Alumni  '55ers  thoroughly  en- 
joyed the  reunion  weekend  and  in  1960  will 
once  again  gather  with  more  children  under 
their  wings  and  greater  achievements  under 
their  belts.  — Betsy  C.  Bvce 


CLASS   OF    1956 


At  the  one  hundred  and  sixth  Annuiil  Com- 
mencement Weekend  the  festivities  began  with 
a  short  class  meeting  followed  by  the  ])icture 
of  those  in  attendance.  The  fourteen  members 
that  were  present  formed  in  the  jjariide  of  the 
Alumni  and  seniors  and  marched  to  tiie  All- 
Alumni   Luncheon  at   Davis  (<ym. 

At  the  All-Alumni  Luncheon  the  class  gift  was 
presented.  Changes  in  ihe  original  gift  were 
announced  wliicli  included  the  undergraduate 
members  (;f  Studcnt-I'"acidly  Congress  on  the

I'jidowcd  l.cclnri-sliip  l''inid. 

Saturday  night  there  were  (he  fralcruily  and 
sorority  symposia  and  the  Ahnnni  Jamboree. 
These  events  offered  llie  utmost  in  eiiterlainnient 
for  the  Alumni  and  seniors  and  llieir  families. 

With  our  parents  we  atli'iided  the  banri  con- 
cert  and   the   iiresideiit's   reception   held   in   the 


annex  of  Davis  Gym.  After  the  reception  many 
of  us  relaxed  at  Halfway  Dam  or  on  the  campus 
with  our  parents  and  classmates. 

l'"inally  on  .Sunday  night,  the  first  of  the  big 
events  came,  (he  Baccalaureate  Service  which

Sunday  night  about  ten  o'clock  our  last  social 
event  began  at  the  Milton  Country  Club,  when 
all  of  tile  class  was  together.  At  this  event 
all  of  the  unforgettable  limes  of  our  past  four 
years  were  reminisced  about.  This  was  a  night 
we  will  rcmeinbcr  for  many  many  years;  the

396  Scholars  Honored  at  BuckneH's 

106th  Commencement 


President  Merle  M.  Odgers  presented 
a  total  of  376  degrees  at  Bucknell's  106th 
Annual  Commencement  Monday  morn- 
ing, June  11,  1956.  A  total  of  343  seniors 
earned  bachelor's  degrees  with  21  mem- 
bers of  the  class  cited  for  honors.  Twen- 
ty-five graduate  students  earned  advanced 
degrees,  while  President  Odgers  conferred 
to  eight  persons  honorary  doctorates.  Lt. 
Col.  Joseph  V.  Chaufty,  commanding  offi- 
cer of  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  units  at  Bucknell, 
administered  the  oath  and  the  awarding 
of  second  lieutenant  commissions  to  64 
men  of  which  30  were  honored  as  "distin- 
guished military  graduates."  In  addition 
to  the  degrees  and  honors  conferred,  19 
prizes  were  awarded  to  members  of  the 
Class  of  1956. 

Honorary  Degrees 

Three  Bucknell  graduates  were  among 
the  recipients  of  honorary  degrees.  Dr. 
Evan  W.  Ingram  '20,  a  trustee  of  Buck- 
nell University,  was  awarded  the  honorary 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Pedagogy.  Dr.  Wood- 
row  M.  Strickler  '34  received  the  degree 
of  Doctor  of  Pedagogy  while  the  Hon. 
Frederick  V.  Follmer  '06  received  the  de- 
gree of  Doctor  of  Civil  Law. 

Dr.  Horace  A.  Hildreth,  past  president 
of  Bucknell  and  now  Ambassador  of  the 
United  States  to  Pakistan,  and  General 
Carlos  P.  Romulo,  Ambassador  from  the 
Philippines  to  the  United  States,  each 
received  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Civil 
Law.  Dr.  Herbert  Gezork,  the  Bacca- 
laureate speaker,  was  awarded  the  degree 
of  Doctor  of  Divinity.  Dr.  William  H. 
Coleman,  retiring  Dean  of  the  College, 
received  the  honorary  degree  of  Doctor 
of  Humane  Letters  and  Mr.  Harry  B. 
Hopper  was  honored  by  receiving  the  de- 
gree of  Doctor  of  Business  Administra- 
tion. 

Dr.  Herbert  Gezork,  president  of  An- 
dover  Newton  Theological  School,  in  his 
Baccalaureate  address  urged  the  graduat- 
ing seniors  not  to  allow  their  characteristic 
realism  to  develop  into  disillusioned  cyni- 
cism. He  pointed  out  that  "the  cynical 
pessimist  is  just  as  one-sided  as  the  starry- 
eyed  Utopian,"  and  added,  "He  who  has 
faith  that  there  is  plan,  purpose,  and  mean- 
ing in  life,  can  never  yield  to  a  despairing 
pessimism."  In  conclusion  Dr.  Gezork 
stated,  "The  world  needs  men  and  women 
who  put  their  insights,  their  understand- 
ing, and  their  Christian  convictions  into 
action." 


The  Big  Day 

Monday  morning  brought  forth  the  big 
moment  for  seniors  and  parents  alike  as 
diplomas  were  awarded.  President  Odgers 
paid  a  unique  and  special  tribute  to  the 
parents  as  he  announced: 

"In  the  name  of  our  faculty  and  trustees 
I   welcome  all  of  you.     We  honor  you 
today  because  it  is  through  your  effort 
and   sacrifice   that   it   has   been   possible 
for  these  young  people  to  participate  in 
this  Commencement.     We  want  you  to 
know  that  you  honor  us  with  your  pres- 
ence.    For  a  period  of  years  you  have 
shared  your  sons  and  daughters  with  us. 
They    have    become,    however,    no    less 
yours   and  in   the  last  few  years  many 
of  you   have   more   and   more   identified 
yourselves  with  Bucknell.     We  feel  cer- 
tain that  these  young  people  will  always 
bring  honor  and  affection  to  their  Alma 
Mater,  Bucknell  University,  and  to  you, 
their  parents  and  families." 
General  Carlos  P.  Romulo,  speaking  at 
the    Commencement    exercises,    cautioned 
that   "neutralism   between   the   free  world 
and   the    Soviet   world   is   impossible."     The 
Hero  of  Bataan  concluded  his  speech  by 
saying  "so  long   as   the   Communist  ideal 
remains  alive,  free  men  everywhere  are  in 
mortal  danger.     We  of  the  Philippines  are 
proud  to  be  your  partners." 


Faculty  News 


Dr.  Harry  Garvin  Publishes  Work 

Dr.  Harry  R.  Garvin,  associate  professor 
of  English,  has  written  an  article  which  is 
appearing  in  the  current  issue  of  The  Ex- 
plicator,  a  literary  magazine  published  by 
the  University  of  South  Carolina. 

The  article  is  an  analysis  of  Gertrude 
Stein's  "Lipschitz"  which  is  a  poetic  "por- 
trait" of  the  contemporary  French  sculptor 
whom  she  knew  well  in  Paris. 

The  Stein  poem  is  written  in  one  of  her 
most  difficult  styles,  and  Dr.  Garvin  has 
clarified  meanings  that  might  be  obscure  to 
the  casual  reader.  Miss  Stein's  style  may 
be  illustrated  by  the  harmony  and  the  exact 
symmetry  of  the  opening  line  of  the  poem : 
"Like  and  like  likely  and  likely  likely  and 
likely  like  and  like."

The  publication,  On  the  Arkansas  Route 
to  California  in  1849,  edited  by  Dr.  J.  Orin 
Oliphant,  professor  of  history  at  Bucknell, 
is  an  interesting  and  realistic  account  of  the 
adventures  and  hardships  encountered  by 
Robert  Green,  the  diarist,  and  five  other 
young  men  from  Lewisburg  during  their 
trek  to  California. 

The  diary  from  which  the  book  was  pub- 
lished was  presented  to  the  Ellen  Clarke

Dr.  P.  B.  Rogers  Publishes  Article 

Dr.  P.  Burwell  Rogers,  assistant  professor 
of  English,  is  the  author  of  an  article  en- 
titled "Changes  in  Virginia  Names"  which 
appeared  in  the  February  issue  of  the  mag- 
azine American  Speech. 

The  article  is  based  on  a  continuation  of 
research  done  for  the  magazine  in  a  previous 
article. 

The  work  deals  with  the  changing  pro- 
nunciation of  place  names  and  family  names, 
mostly  of  English  origin,  in  Virginia. 

The  conclusion  shows  there  is  a  trend 
toward  pronouncing  names  as  they  are 
spelled,  and  that  letters  which  were  formerly 
silent  are  now  pronounced. 

SEPTEMBER    1950 


WHO'S  YOUR  CANDIDATE? 


While  Buckneliians  will  not  make  as 
much  fuss  as  the  Democrats  and  Repub- 
licans did  at  their  National  Conventions  to 
select  candidates,  we  are  faced  with  a  sim- 
ilar problem.  By  October  15  it  will  be 
necessary  to  prepare  for  committee  con- 
sideration and  action,  candidates  for  a 
number  of  important  University  and  Alum- 
ni posts. 

Each  year  Alumni  suggest  the  names  of 
Buckneliians  to  be  considered  by  these 
committees,  but  generally  the  response  to 
this  call  for  candidates  has  been  small. 
This  year  we  would  like  to  make  it  clear 
to  YOU  that  YOUR  candidate  sugges- 
tions are  cordiallj'  invited  and  eagerly 
sought.  After  all,  this  is  one  of  your 
privileges  as  a  member  of  the  Bucknell 
Alumni  family.  Won't  you  participate  by 
giving  us  your  suggestions  on  the  form 
provided  for  the  following  offices  and 
honors; 

WOMAN  TRUSTEE 
TO  BE  SELECTED 

Every  five  years  the  three  candidates 
to  be  voted  on  by  the  Alumni  are  selected 
from  among  the  women  of  Bucknell.  In 
1957  again  a  woman  trustee  is  to  be 
chosen  for  consideration  for  membership 
on  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity. In  a  family  as  large  as  ours  many 
likely  candidates  might  be  overlooked  un- 
less we  have  your  suggestion  at  hand. 
Your  candidate  need  not  be  a  member  of 
your  class  nor  must  she  necessarily  reside 
in  i'our  community,  but  she  must  have 
attended  Bucknell  University  and  should 
be  able  to  assist  in  the  consideration  of 
the  broad  problems  of  University  policy 
and  should  be  willing  and  able  to  attend 
at  least  two  Board  Meetings  plus  several 
committee  meetings  each  year.  These 
meetings  are  generally  held  in  Lewisburg 
in  the  fall  and  spring  of  the  academic  year. 


ALUMNI  AWARDS  CANDIDATES 

In  1957  for  the  first  time  the  Committee 
on  Alumni  Awards  will  be  asked  to  select 
recipients  for  alumni  awards  in  three  cate- 
gories: (a)  for  meritorious  achievement 
in  the  field  or  profession  in  which  the 
candidate  is  engaged,  (b)  for  recognized 
contributions  and  service  to  fellowmen 
through  such  media  as  religion,  charity, 
art,  science  or  public  welfare,  and  (c)  for 
outstanding  service,  unselfish  interest,  and 
demonstrated  loyalty  to  the  University 
and  to  the  Association.  In  these  three 
categories  we  would  appreciate  your  sug- 
gestions of  candidates  to  be  considered 
for  the  honor  of  receiving  an  alumni 
award. 

ALUMNI  BOARD  OF  DIRECTORS 

The  fifteen-member  Board  of  Directors 
of  The  General  Alumni  Association  carry 
out  the  important  task  of  directing  the  ac- 
tivities included  in  The  General  Alumni 
Association  program.  Each  year  the  terms 
of  five  of  the  members  of  the  Board  ex- 
pire, and  you  are  urged  to  suggest  the 
names  of  .\lumni  to  be  considered  as  nomi- 
nees to  this  Board. 

Since  candidates  for  all  these  posts  must 
be  considered  by  committees  that  will  be 
meeting  Homecoming  Weekend,  October 
20,  you  can  see  that  we  need  your  sug- 
gestions now.  A  great  deal  of  clerical 
work  is  involved  in  preparing  candidates' 
papers  for  committee  action,  and  we  would 
appreciate  receiving  your  suggestions  on 
the  form  provided  below.  In  the  case 
of  the  suggestions  for  alumni  trustee  we 
cannot  consider  the  names  of  candidates 
after  October  15,  19S6,  so  why  not  let  us 
have  your  suggestions  by  return  mail.

A  review  of  the  first  ten  years  of 
Bucknell's  Second  Century  (1946- 
56)  and  a  preview  of  the  next  ten 
(1956-66)  are  clearly  and  simply 
stated  in  a  beautiful  32-page  bro- 
chure under  the  above  title.

MISS  MARY  COTTON  '96 
Eldred,  Pa. 

We  were  sorry  to  learn  of  the  death  of 
Mrs.  Ruth  E.  Miller  Parker  '93  at  her 
home  in  Clarks  Summit,  on  April  22  after 
a  long  illness.  She  was  well-known  for 
her  activities  in  civic  and  church  groups 
and  helped  promote  and  organize  the 
building  program  for  the  Clarks  Summit 
First  Presbyterian  Church.  Surviving  are 
three  daughters  and  four  grandchildren. 
Jane  Ann  Mutchner  '52  is  a  granddaugh- 
ter. 

Harry  Hartman  Kinney  '94  passed 
away  at  his  home  in  Santa  Monica,  Calif., 
in  April.  A  native  of  Sunbury,  he  attend- 
ed Drew  Theological  Seminary  after  leav- 
ing Bucknell.  After  serving  pastorates  at 
Philadelphia  and  Mauch  Chunk,  he  trans- 
ferred to  the  Southern  California  Confer- 
ence and  served  as  pastor  at  San  Luis 
Obispo.  Following  an  injury  in  an  acci- 
dent, he  became  an  invalid  for  several 
years  during  which  time  he  began  to  write 
for  newspapers.  Upon  regaining  his 
health,  he  started  several  newspapers  in 
Southern  California  and  became  owner  of 
several  others.  He  helped  establish  the 
compensation  law  in  California  and  be- 
came historian  of  the  California  Legisla- 
ture. He  served  as  secretary  and  referee 
for  the  State  Industrial  Accident  Commis- 
sion for  six  years  and  as  confidential  po- 
litical adviser  to  the  mayor  of  Los  An- 
geles for  eight  years.  He  is  survived  b}'

sons,  Harold  H.  Kinney  of  Los  Angeles, 
and  Dr.  J.  G.  Kinney,  an  opthomological 
surgeon  in  Santa  Monica. 

Our  sympathy  is  extended  to  Dr.  Wil- 
liam Van  V.  Hayes  '88  on  the  death  of  his 
wife,  on  April  11.  A  graduate  of  Goucher 
College,  Mrs.  Hayes  was  the  daughter  of 
Dr.  B.  C.  Conner,  a  former  president  of 
Dickinson  Seminary,  now  Lycoming  Col- 
lege, Williamsport.  Her  death  breaks  a 
union  of  52  years  of  marriage. 

Dr.  Amos  E.  Barton  '06,  St.  Petersburg, 
Fla.,  died  there  April  20  following  an  ill- 
ness of  one  year.  He  retired  several  years 
ago  as  a  medical  examiner  for  the  United 
States  Immigration  Service  in  New  York 
City.  He  was  married  to  the  former  Lil- 
lian Shields,  Lewisburg,  who  preceded 
him  in  death  in  1920.  Surviving  are  a  sis- 
ter, a  brother,  and  several  nieces  and 
nephews.  Interment  was  in  the  Lewisburg 
Cemetery.

Harvey  F.  Smith,  M.  D.  '94,  was  made  by 
Dr.  J.  Arthur  Daugherty,  Medical  Direc- 
tor of  the  Harrisburg  Hospital.  Dr.  Smith, 
an  outstanding  Harrisburg  surgeon,  has 
fought  vigorously  in  the  drive  against 
cancer.^  He  is  on  the  State  Executive

Your  reporter  went  to  Commencement 
with  her  cousin  Kathryn  M.  King  '07  to 
especially  meet  the  '06  and  '07  group  of 
women  who  have  kept  a  Round  Robin 
letter  going  these  past  50  years. 

Met  with  Emeritus  Club  for  first  time, 
saw  old  friends  there,  as  well  as  at  the 
Class  Presidents  and  Reporters'  dinner 
Friday  night. 

W.  Lawrence  Kalp,  our  faithful  campus 
visitor,  was  on  hand.  Charlotte  Shields 
Murphy  and  husband  were  also  present. 
I  made  a  short  call  on  Grace  Roberts 
Snyder.     All  are  in  good  health. 

From  Lewisburg  went  to  Philadelphia, 
where  we  attended  Evening  Service  on 
roof  top  of  Alpha  Baptist  Church,  Rev. 
Howard  K.  Williams  '03,  minister. 

Had  pleasure  of  a  'phone  conversation 
with  Mr.  and  Mrs.  G.  H.  Stewart.  They 
have  done  some  interesting  traveling,  of 
which  more  in  another  issue. 

It  was  heart  warming  to  meet  these 
classmates  and  old  friends.  Remember  '03 
has  a  Special  Date  for  1958.  Start  think- 
ing about  it  now.

A  very  interesting  factual  story,  "Moth- 
er Opossum,"  appearing  in  the  May  issue 
of  The  Instructor,  a  magazine  for  teachers, 
was  written  by  no  other  than  our  Ruth 
Stephens  Porter.  Her  contributions  have 
frequently  appeared  in  many  music,  chil- 
dren's and  teacher's  magazines.  Ruth, 
who  is  secretary  of  the  Bucknell  St.  Pet- 
ersburg Club,  resides  at  2710  Dartmouth 
Ave.,  St.  Petersburg,  Fla. 

Word  has  been  received  of  the  death  of 
William  Wallace  Portser  on  April  8. 
Among  his  survivors  is  Dr.  Iden  M.  Port-

sympathy  to  the  family  of  Mr.  Portser.

DR.  LEO  L.  ROCKWELL 
Colgate  University 
Hamilton,  N.  Y. 


Once  more  we  must  close  ranks  as  com- 
rades have  passed  into  the  Beyond.  The 
month  of  May  was  unkind  to  the  class, 
since  two  of  our  number  left  us  in  that 
not  so  merry  period. 

Margaret  Lesher  Riggs,  like  all  the  oth- 
er Leshers,  and  like  her  devoted  husband, 
George,  was  a  faithful  Bucknellian.  They 
rarely  missed  a  class  gathering.  For  sev- 
eral months  she  failed  gradually,  but  kept 
up  her  interest.  On  Saturday  evening. 
May  19,  she  attended  a  Youth  for  Christ 


meeting;  during  the  night  she  awakened 
in  great  pain;  the  next  morning  she 
passed  away,  at  the  age  of  eighty  years 
and  seven  months.  All  her  children  and 
all  but  one  of  her  fourteen  grandchildren 
were  home  for  the  funeral.  Our  thoughts 
are  with  you,  George,  in  your  sorrow. 

Earl  Wayne  Whitney  died  in  Wewoka, 
Oklahoma,  May  4.  A  native  of  Wells- 
boro,  Pennsylvania,  where  he  was  a  close 
friend  of  Edwin  Rumsey,  of  the  class  of 
1906.  In  college  he  was  active  in  class 
afifairs,  and  will  be  remembered  as  cap- 
tain of  the  Varsity  track  team,  on  which 
he  won  distance  races  by  sheer  grit  de- 
spite his  slight  frame.  After  college  he 
taught  school  for  several  years  in  Okla- 
homa, then  took  the  bar  examinations  and 
began  the  practice  of  law.  Having  been  a 
member  of  the  Pennsylvania  National 
Guard,  he  entered  the  service  in  World 
War  I  and  served  in  France  as  a  captain 
of  infantry.  Intensely  loyal  to  Bucknell 
and  to  his  college  class,  he  was  a  regular 
attendant  at  reunions;  he  was  one  of  the 
few  who  were  on  hand  for  the  reunion  in 
1952,  and  was  planning  definitely  on  re- 
turning for  the  Fiftieth  next  June.  He  is 
survived  by  his  wife,  a  brother,  Truman 
Whitney,  of  Wellsboro,  and  a  sister,  Mrs. 
John  Putney,  of  Elmira,  N.  Y.  Of  his 
several  surviving  children,  Naomi  Whit- 
ney Hadaway  (Mrs.  Lloyd),  of  Oklahoma 
City,  is  well  known  to  members  of  the 
class,  whom  she  met  at  class  reunions; 
she  is  a  Bucknell  graduate  of  1954.  We 
shall  miss  Whit;  his  spirit  meant  much 
to  the  class. 

Plans  for  our  fiftieth  reunion  are  under- 
way. Anon  or  a  little  before  anon  (to 
quote  Josiah  Allern's  wife)  members  of 
the  class  will  get  the  word.  Meantime, 
don't  forget  the  date  of  Alumni  Day — 
SATURDAY,  JUNE  EIGHTH.  BE 
THERE.  Renegade  Paul  Stolz  wants  us 
all  to  meet  with  him  that  afternoon.  He's 
a  good  guy  despite  his  defection  to  '08. 
Cheer  him  up  by  being  present.  More 
anon.

Rev.  Charles  L.  Bromley,  76  N.  Pleas- 
ant St.,  Oberlin,  Ohio,  reports  that  things 
are  moving  along  nicely  for  him.  His 
family  is  well  and  his  church  is  making 
pro.gress. 

The  1908  chapter  of  "the  retired"  is 
happy  to  welcome  a  new  member,  Prof. 
Chester  P.  Higby,  of  Madison,  Wisconsin. 
Chester  has  had  a  long  and  fruitful  ex- 
perience in  the  teaching  field.  He  retired 
in  June  as  Professor  of  History  at  the 
University  of  Wisconsin. 

Honors  were  accorded  him  and  de- 
served recognition  made  of  his  achieve- 
ments in  the  field  of  history.  More  than 
fifty  students  attained  their  doctorates  of 
philosophy  under  his  guidance.  To  him 
the  highlight  of  the  occasion  was  the  an- 
nouncement of  the  Chester  Penn  Higby 
prize  for  the  best  articles  appearing  in  the 
Journal  of  Modern  History,  a  magazine 
which  Chester  was  instrumental  in  estab- 
lishing. 

Chester  attributes  his  interest  in  history 
to  his  Bucknell  training.  He  explains, 
"I  was  drawn  to  the  Napoleonic  period  by 
a  speech  delivered  by  the  president  of 
Bucknell,  John  Howard  Harris,  in  which 
he  told  of  the  expansion  of  France  under 
Napoleon."

MRS.  HOWARD  L.  HEADLAND 

(Sarah  E.  Walters! 

3911  First  Ave.,  N.  St.  Petersburg  3,  Fla. 


At  the  April  meeting  of  the  St.  Peters- 
burg Alumni  Club,  Gilbert  H.  Lyte  was 
elected  president. 

SEPTEMBER    1956 


On  May  8.  Howard  and  I  began  an 
eventful  trip.  Leaving  St.  Petersburg,  we 
spent  a  few  days  with  son  Charles  and 
family  in  Auburn,  Alabama.  Then  on  to 
Louisville,  Kentucky,  where  a  daughter, 
Mrs.  D.  A".  Whitesides  (Eloise  Headland 
"46)  lives.  Eloise  invited  Mrs.  Harry 
Weeter  (Mabel  Slout)  for  tea.  She  told  us 
of  her  recent  six-months'  trip  through 
Europe.  She  made  interesting  comments 
on  each  of  the  many  countries  she  visited. 
She  remarked  that  although  she  thinks 
that  she  could  live  happily  in  Denmark  or 
Switzerland,  she  was,  all  through  her 
travels,  glad  she  is  an  American. 

Next  for  us  was  Pittsburgh  in  which, 
or  near  by,  five  of  our  children  live. 
Hence  a  reunion  of  all  eight  of  our  chil- 
dren, si.x  in-laws  and  12  grandchildren, 
made  for  us  one  happy  day.  Also  for 
Howard  there  was  his  50th  reunion  of  his 
class  at  State  Teachers  College,  Slippery 
Rock.  Greetings  from  old  friends  there 
and  at  Slippery  Rock's  and  Grove  City's 
commencements  kept  crowding  in  on  us 
— much  to  our  enjoyment. 

While  in  Harrisburg  we  contacted  Mrs. 
Robert  Woodcock  (Lucille  Savidge  r09) 
who  was  about  to  enter  a  hospital.  We 
hope  by  now,  Lucille,  you're  better  than 
ever. 

A  day's  drive  through  beautiful  Dela- 
ware Water  Gap,  etc.,  brought  us  to  the 
home  of  a  nephew,  Lt.  Col.  Walter  Kil- 
lilae  and  his  family,  in  West  Point.  Sight- 
seeing was  the  order  there,  .\nother  day 
brought  us  over  Bear  Mountain  Bridge  to 
Natick,  Mass.,  to  the  homes  of  more 
nephews  and  nieces. 

Happy  are  the  memories  of  several 
pleasant  hours  in  the  home  of  Dr.  and 
Mrs.  Heber  W.  Youngken  in  .Arlington. 
Mass.  He  told  us  of  his  latest  honor.  I 
know  of  nothing  that  gives  me  more  satis- 
faction than  to  be  able  to  write  about 
achievements  of  my  classmates.  Now 
none  other  than  Heber  Wilkinson  Young- 
ken  was  given  an  honorary  degree  by  tlie 
Massachusetts  College  of  Pharmacy 
where  he  had  just  completed  33  years  of 
teaching.  .At  the  commencement  exer- 
cises, June  6,  1956,  Heber  was  cited  as: 
"Graduate  in  Pharmacy,  Master  of  Arts, 
Doctor  of  Science,  Doctor  of  Philosophy, 
distinguished  scientist,  teacher,  and  au- 
thor. By  his  notable  contributions  in  the 
field  of  pharmaceutical  education  and  his 
outstanding  service  to  the  College  lie  has 
merited  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Phar- 
macy, HONORIS  CAUSA."  I  know  I 
express  the  wishes  of  all  our  classmates 
when  I  say,  "To  you,  Heber,  and  to  your 
good  wife,  congratulations." 

.As  this  is  being  written  (.August  8) 
some  miles  north  of  Pittsburgh,  our  sum- 
mer sojourn  is  not  yet  ended.  We  hope 
to  be  back  in  St,  Fete  by  September  15 
and  ready  to  greet  any  who  may  conic 
to  our  lovely  citv.

thoughts  for  the  family  from  our  class. 

Frank  Davis  and  Vera  Cober  "strutted" 
with  the  1911  Class.  Scholastically  they 
may  belong  there  but  sentimentally  they 
belong  to  us.  I  hope  that  Vera,  Nora 
Dodson,  Frank,  Harry  Waltman  and 
Marc  Baldwin  join  us  at  the  festive  board 
ne.xt  June  for  our  45th.  We'll  be  looking 
for  you. 

P.  S.  Know  how  to  reduce  without  a 
physician  or  pills?  Have  your  family 
come  for  10  days.  Four  adults,  3  chil- 
dren, a  puppy  not  housebroken,  a  parakeet 
and  2  million  flies.  The  "slimming"  pro- 
gram then  begins.

said,  "Wliv,  Maze,  you  are  one  person 
whom  1  had  hoped  to  see  this  reunion 
time."  It  certainly  warmed  my  old  bones 
to  have  someone  wanting  to  sec  me  after 
44  years.  You  know  it's  the  kind  of 
warmth  that  you  knew  as  a  kid,  when  yon 
caiiie  home  nearly  frozen  from  skating 
and  sled  riding  and  would  stick  your  feet 
in  the  oven  of  the  old  coal  range— it  just 
seemed  to  reach  your  whole  body.

"Edwin  went  into  hospital  for  diabetic 
treatment  and  some  surgery  on  May  18. 
Two  blood  clots  lodged  in  his  lower  left 
lung  and  were  immediate  cause  of  death." 
At  time  of  demise,  Ed  was  pastor  of  Alli- 
son Avenue  Baptist  Church,  Washington, 
Pa.  Previously  for  30  years  he  had  served

MMRS.  H.  B.  WEAVER    (Dora  Hamler) 
348  Ridge  Ave., 
New  Kensington.  Pa. 

We  were  sorry  to  learn  of  the  sudden 
death  of  Donald  A.  Sprout,  well-known 
Picture  Rocks  commercial  artist,  on  May 
9  of  a  heart  attack  while  working  at  the 
Handle  and  Excelsior  Company  there. 
After  leaving  Bucknell,  he  studied  at  the 
Pennsylvania  Academy  of  Fine  Arts  in 
Philadelphia.  Later,  he  did  commercial 
art  work  for  Philadelphia  advertising  com- 
panies before  entering  the  army.  He 
served  during  the  First  World  War.  After 
the  armistice  and  before  returning  home, 
he  furthered  his  art  studies  in  France. 
Employed  for  a  time  by  a  printing  firm  in 
Charlotte,  N.  C,  he  returned  to  Picture 
Rocks  about  30  years  ago  where  he  was 
employed  by  the  Handle  and  E.xcelsior 
Companv,  which  is  operated  by  the 
Sprout  family.  He  had  continued  doing 
commercial  art  work.  In  1936,  he  painted 
a  mural  in  the  baptistry  of  the  Picture 
Rocks  Baptist  Church,  of  which  he  was  a 
member.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Delta 
Sigma  fraternity. 

Surviving  are  his  wife,  Mrs.  Marie  Cole 
Sprout;  a  daughter:  a  son,  and  a  grand- 
son; his  mother,  Mrs.  Lucinda  Sprout;  a 
sister,  Marjorie  E.  Sprout  '21,  of  Picture 
Rocks;  two  brothers,  W.  Carl  Sprout  '08, 
retired  managing  editor  of  the  Harrisburg 
Patriot;  and  Clinton  I.  Sprout  '17,  Peddie 
School,  Hightstown,  N.  J.  Another  broth- 
er, 'W.  Lee  Sprout  '10  died  in  1950.  _  He  is 
also  survived  bv  four  nephews,  William  E. 
'37;  Carl  M.  '38;  John  W.  '48  and  Rob- 
ert C.  '49. 

Dr.  and  Mrs.  Ralph  E.  Bell,  of  Holly-

This  is  it.  17ers!  Forty  years  ago  this 
month  we  were  beginning  our  senior  year 
in  Bucknell.  Pretty  hard  to  realize,  isn't 
it?  So — now  with  your  help  we  are  try- 
ing to  plan  an  interesting  reunion  next 
June  8.  You'll  be  hearing  from  "Peddie" 
about  it  soon.  Please  be  sure  to  cooperate. 
Above  all,  plan  to  take  part  of  your  vaca- 
tion in  June,  1957,  so  you  can  spend  3 
days  in  Lewisburg. 

A  grand  letter  from  Edna  Sayenga 
Fahringer,  who  now  lives  in  Everett, 
Wash.,  tells  about  their  present  work  in 
the  little  Chapel  where  they  went  to  build 
a  church,  seven  years  ago.  It  then  had  26 
members  and  was  an  Army  Chapel  and  it 
had  lots  of  debts.  Today  it  has  250  active 
members,  an  educational  building,  electric 
organ,  beautifully  equipped  kitchen,  and  is 
paying  for  a  parsonage.  They  are  in  love 
with  the  west.  Since  their  marriage,  Fred 
and  Edna  have  served  five  pastorates, 
Chicago,  Minneapolis,  Wauwatosa  and 
Janesvilie,  Wise,  and  Everett,  Wash. 
When  war  came  Fred  resigned  to  be  a 
chaplain  in  the  U.  S.  Army.  Edna  has 
been    president    of    the     Everett     LInited 

20 


Church  Women,  Everett  UNICEF  chair- 
man, and  is  now  a  member  of  the  State 
UCW's  Board  and  a  vice  president  in 
their  own  association.  She  is  a  member 
of  the  Garden  Club.  I  just  wish  I  had 
space  to  tell  you  all  this  nice  letter  con- 
tained, but  I'll  have  to  save  the  rest  for 
another  time. 

Edna  tells  me  that  another  of  our  class- 
mates, Norman  R.  Hill,  and  his  wife,  Irirna 
Jo,  have  been  very  close  friends  of  theirs 
and  very  good  to  their  church.  So  I  wrote 
to  Norman  and  asked  for  news  about  him. 
He  tells  me  he  is  pretty  much  of  a  "Has 
Been"  or  an  "Old  Goat"  but  life  has  been 
good  to  them.  They  have  five  children 
born  of  his  marriage  to  Edith  Chase,  of 
Eagles  Mere  (3  boys  and  2  girls).  Edith 
passed  away  in  1932  and  he  later  married 
Irma  Jo  Richmond,  of  St.  Louis,  Mo.  His 
youngest  child  is  now  33.  He  has  15 
grandchildren  (12  boys  and  3  girls). 

Norman  started  out  as  a  Baptist  minis- 
ter then  went  to  engineering  and  then  to 
insurance.  He  is  with  the  Northwestern 
Mutual  of  Milwaukee  and  on  October  26 
of  this  year  will  be  65  years  old  and  re- 
tirement begins.  However,  he  does  not 
contemplate  complete  retirement  as  he  has 
a  very  large  and  wonderful  clientele  in 
Seattle  which  he  will  serve  as  long  as  he 
is  able.  Since  1920  he  has  sold  about 
$30,000,000  in  insurance  and  has  been  a 
member  of  the  Million  Dollar  Round  Ta- 
ble consecutively  for  the  past  10  years. 

He  helped  to  organize  the  Seattle  Buck- 
nell Alumni  Club  and  was  its  first  presi- 
dent. The  club  has  not  been  very  active 
lately,  but  the  new  president  has  prom- 
ised to  get  going  this  fall.  Norman  adds 
that  they  visit  the  Fahringers  in  Everett 
quite  frequently  and  that  Fred  is  a  mighty 
good  preacher.

Our  belated  congratulations  to  Dr. 
Chester  Scott  Keefer,  Wade  Professor  of 
Medicine,  and  Physician-in-Chief  of  the 
Massachusetts  Memorial  Hospital,  on  his 
appointment  as  University  Lecturer  at 
Boston  University  for  1955-56. 

The  University  Lectureship  was  estab- 
lished at  Boston  University  in  1950  for  the 
dual  purpose  of  honoring  members  of  the 
faculty  engaged  in  outstanding  research 
and  of  giving  all  members  of  the  LTniver- 
sity  as  well  as  of  the  community,  an 
opportunity  to  learn  more  of  their  work. 
Two  appointments  are  made  annually. 

A'ter  earning  his  Bachelor  of  Science 
degree  at  Bucknell,  Dr.  Keefer  received 
his  M.D.  degree  from  Johns  Hopkins 
University  in  1922  and  his  Sc.D.  (honor- 
ary) from  Bucknell  University  and  Bos- 
ton University.  He  has  been  Wade  Pro- 
fessor of  Medicine  at  Boston  University 
since  1940. 

A  member  of  many  national  scientific 
societies,  he  is  the  author  of  numerous  pa- 
pers dealing  with  clinical  medicine,  infec- 
tious diseases  and  antibiotics. 

Dr.  Keefer  delivered  a  lecture,  "Medical 
Science  and  Society"  on  April  10  in  the 
Charles  Hayden  Memorial  Auditorium, 
Boston. 

As  I  write  this  Chet  and  Evelyn  Mc- 
Gann  Leaber  are  spending  their  vacation 
in  Williamsport  and  from  here  going  to 
Ohio  to  visit  their  daughter  and  see  their 
two  grandchildren.  Evelyn  has  just  re- 
turned from  a  trip  to  California.  She  at- 
tended the  National  Convention  of  Delta 
Delta  Delta  and  then  visited  with  friends 
and  relatives  throughout  the  State. 

Congratulations  go  to  Dr.  Louis  Walton 
Sipley  for  a  new  book,  "A  Biography  of 
Frederic  E.   Ives,"  photo-graphic  arts  in- 


ventor. This  is  the  second  one  we  have 
had  the  pleasure  of  announcing. 

Is  it  too  early  to  begin  thinking  about 
our  40th  Reunion?  I  am  sure  it  is  not  too 
soon  to  begin  putting  pennies  in  the  piggy 
bank  so  that  the  fund  will  be  there  when 
we  celebrate  in  1958.     Any  ideas,  Bart? 

Some  of  you  members  of  the  Class  of 
1918  must  have  had  some  good  vacation 
trips  this  summer.  How  about  sharing 
them  with  the  rest  of  us?

"Yep,  G.  E.  decentralization  caught  us 
and  after  7  years  at  Lynn,  Mass.,  we've 
opened  a  new  outdoor  lighting  department 
plant  in  the  beautiful  'Land  of  the  Sky' 
section  of  Western  North  Carolina:  Hen- 
dersonville,  20  miles  south  of  Asheville. 
O.  K.  by  us!  We've  had  only  one  inch 
of  snow  since  our  arrival  here.  How  much 
has  Boston  had?  Even  found  the  transi- 
tion from  'fish  cakes  and  beans'  to  'fried 
chicken,  turnip  greens  and  pecan  pie'  rath- 
er pleasant.  While  we'll  miss  the  Boston 
Alumni  Club  associations  and  tho'  'hit's  a 
right  fur  piece'  to  Lewisburg,  we'll  try  to 
keep  in  touch.  Meanwhile,  the  latch- 
string  is  out  at  1604  Sunset  Blvd.,  Hen- 
dersonville,  to  any  Bucknell  folks  who 
may  be  'roamin'  thru  these  mountains.'  " 

While  the  above  is  supposed  to  come 
from  "Slim"  (Rupert)  and  Betty  (Speak- 
man)  Swetland,  one  reading  of  it  tells  us 
who  is  being  quoted,  now  doesn't  it? 
Slim  and  Betty  with  daughters,  Pauline 
and  Alice,  stopped  overnite  at  Evergreen 
Farm  in  June,  on  their  way  home  from 
Vermont  where  they  had  attended  Pau- 
line's graduation  from  Green  Mountain 
Junior  College. 

Early  the  morning  of  June  9  your  re- 
porter headed  for  Lewisburg  and  had  a 
fine  full  day  beginning  with  attendance  at 
the  General  Alumni  meeting  as  one  of  the 
Union  County  delegates  and  ending  with 
attendance  at  the  play,  plus  a  rewarding 
chat  with  Dr.  Daniel  Poling.  One  of  the 
impressive  sights  of  the  day  was  the  lazy 
column  of  Alumni  winding  down  the  hill 
and  disappearing  into  the  gym  for  the 
luncheon.  I  could  sec  neither  the  begin- 
ning nor  the  end  but  was  proud  to  be  a 
part  of  that  onward  moving  stream,  and 
to  think  how,  in  due  time,  one  of  my  sons 
would  lake  his  place  in  that  line.  A  fine 
thing — this  Huckncll  tradition!  To  say 
nothing  of  the  grand  friends  it  has  given 
us  through  the  years.  One  of  my  class  I 
visited  this  summer  again  was  Dr.  Anne 
Horoschak  (Mrs.  Armond  Nahrgang)  of 
I'lainfield,  New  Jersey.  Anne  continues  to 
l)c  tops  in  her  profession  and  to  draw  pa- 
tients from  far  and  near. 

I'd  like  to  remind  other  classmates  to 
write  me  about  themselves,  so  I  can  pass 
it  along  to  "you-all"  (\  must  have  picked 
that  up  from  Slim  Swetlanri^

Thought  I'd  keep  you  posted  on  the 
members  of  our  class.  Wilmer  Greulich 
was  elected  President  of  The  General 
Alumni  Association  at  the  very  wonder- 
ful meeting  of  Alumni  in  the  new  audito- 
rium of  the  Olin  Science  Building.  We 
should  all  be  very  proud  of  "Bill"  and  I 
know  he'll  do  a  wonderful  job.  I  was 
very  happy  that  one  of  our  class  took  over 
the  reins  from  mj-  Bill  who  had  been  our 
Prexy  for  two  years.  All  our  classmates, 
I'm  sure,  wish  Bill   Greulich  lots  of  Inck 


and  we  know  he'll  get  our  help  in  Euck- 
nell's  new  development  program. 

I  saw  Sherb  Walker,  looking  as  debon- 
naire  as  usual,  and  we  both  chatted  with 
Harry  Fithian  who,  except  for  a  few  add- 
ed pounds,  is  still  tall  and  straight.  We 
three  met  outside  the  Literature  Building 
and  would  have  felt  right  at  home  going 
to  class. 

I  caught  a  glimpse  of  LeVere  Leese 
and  Helen  Hoffner  Simpson  but  never 
got  near  enough  to  talk  with  them. 

I  thoroughly  enjoyed  the  weekend  and 
know  you  all  will  enjoy  our  25th  reunion. 
Had  supper  with  my  favorite  high  school 
teacher  Charles  Sanders  '13  and  breakfast 
with  the  wonderful  Horace  Hildreths  back 
from  Pakistan  to  get  an  honorary  degree 
and  do  hope  my  son,  Robert  9,  was  prop- 
erly impressed. 

Leslie  H.  Berk  has  been  elected  vice 
president  of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of 
Cincinnati.  Bill  and  I  hope  to  see  the 
Cincinnati  folks  next  March  when  we  at- 
tend the  American  Association  of  Indus- 
trial Editors  convention  there.  Bill  is 
President  of  the  Association  so  he'll  be 
busy  but  I'll  go  well  prepared  to  look  up 
all  Bucknellians  in  that  area. 

When  our  youngsters  return  from  camp 
we'll  head  for  Northern  Vermont  and 
some  fishing.  I'll  be  back  for  our  Long 
Island  Freshman  Reception  on  September 
7  and  then  back  to  Lewisburg  for  Home- 
coming— hope  I'll  be  able  to  greet  many 
of  you  there.

We  hope  you  have  had  a  rewarding  and 
restful  summer  and  that  news  items  will 
start  rolling  in  from  all  over  the  country. 

An  article  by  Harry  L.  Wynn,  "You 
Can  Take  It  With  You"  which  appeared 
in  the  September,  1954,  issue  of  High 
Fidelity  magazine  has  been  reprinted  in  a 
book.  The  High  Fidelity  Reader  pub- 
lished recently.  The  article  describes 
methods  useful  in  bettering  auto  radios, 
an  unusual  phase  of  the  high  fidelity 
phenomenon  which  had  previously  re- 
ceived little  attention.  Harry  is  a  me- 
teorologist with  the  U.  S.  Weather  Bureau 
at  the  Allegheny  County  Airport  in  Pitts- 
burgh.    He  lives  at  413  Charles  St.,  Derry. 

We  had  a  delightful  visit  from  Mel  and 
Jane  LeMon  in  April.  Mel  has  been  on 
his  sabbatical  from  Wells  College  and  is 
busy  at  work  on  a  most  original  and  ex- 
citing opera  based  on  central  Pennsylva- 
nia miners'  folkways.  We  had  the  plea- 
sure of  pre-voicing  some  of  the  parts. 
Paul  and  I  took  off  from  our  jobs  to  show 
Jane  and  Mel  the  sights  of  Annapolis 
which  included  a  cruise  on  the  Severn  in 
a  neighbor's  cabin  cruiser.  Jane  is  busy 
at  work  putting  the  final  touches  on  her 
master's  thesis  besides  working  hard  at  a 
grueling  and  responsible  teaching  job. 
This  summer  the  LeMons  have  returned 
to  Europe  where  they  have  been  conduct- 
ing a  tour  of  students  interested  in  music 
and  the  theatre. 

All  of  you  will  be  heartened  to  know 
that  the  Robert  Lindner  Foundation  has 
been  organized  to  perpetuate  Bob's  life 
work.  Theodore  Reik  and  Norman  Mailer 
participated  in  a  meeting  in  Baltimore 
in  April  memorializing  Bob's  contributions 
to  psychiatry  and  literature.  This  sum- 
mer I  read  Bob's  book,  "Must  You  Con- 
form" and  found  it  very  stimulating. 

This  summer  I  attended  a  workshop  in 
human  understanding  sponsored  by  our 
county  board  of  education  and  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland.  Teachers  of  differ- 
ent cultures  shared  their  experiences  and 
attitudes.  It  was  a  new  thing  for  many 
of  them,  but  for  me  it  was  a  continuation 
SEPTEMBER     1  il  T)  n 


of  the  education  so  strikingly  presented 
by  Drs.  Harriman,  Nimkoff  and  Suther- 
land whose  inspiration  one  could  never 
forget. 

Bucknellians  will  be  interested  to  learn 
that  the  interesting  series  of  news  stories 
appearing  in  the  .Vr:i'  York  Times  in  July 
and  August  on  the  developing  Suez  Canal 
situation  were  written  by  Osgood  Caruth- 
ers  of  our  class.  .After  a  career  in  the  U. 
S.  Army  during  World  War  II.  Osgood 
became  a  foreign  correspondent  for  .Asso-

Yes,  we  are  back  in  Yankeeland,  and 
as  of  .August  IS,  the  above  is  our  address. 
(Too  bad  it  couldn't  be  1492  CoUnnhus. 
but  Colfax  does  start  with  "Col"  and 
that's  a  "fax."  I  hate  myself  when  I 
stoop  to  punning.)  Jim  will  be  teaching 
English  and  have  charge  of  the  school 
paper,  "The  Tiger,"  in  Benton  Harbor 
High  School.  I-ie  also  plans  to  continue 
work  on  his  master's  degree  at  Notre 
Dame.  Incidentally,  we're  riglit  across 
Lake  Michigan  from  Chicago,  so  conven- 
tioneers and  others  bound  there,  detour 
a  bit  and  visit  us. 

Bucknellians  are  something  like  the 
"universal  solvent,"  I'm  convinced -- 
there's  no  containing  them,  and  every- 
where you  go  there  are  some  lurking 
about.  After  the  school  term  was  over 
in  Texas,  I  set  out  for  Williamsporl  for 
my  high  school  reunion  (20lh  year),  lour- 
ing the  stopover  in  Wavliiiiglcin,  \}.  ('.,  I 
eked  out  a  visit  with  Tom  ('41)  and

committee,  but  was  not  at  the  affair,  as 
he  had  just  moved.  His  new  address  is 
4425  Linwood  Place,  Riverside,  California. 
Downtown  in  Williamsport  I  had  the 
pleasure,  also,  of  meeting  George  McGee 
('38),  who  is  a  member  of  the  staff  there 
at  Merrill  Lynch,  Pierce,  Fenner  and 
Beane.  I  understand  he  is  the  man  to 
know  for  stock  investments.  My  presence 
at  Merrill  Lynch,  etc.,  was  purely  in  a 
sight-seeing  capacity.

Magilligan,  Jeanne  Haynes  Thomas,  Marcio  Herre- 
gesell  Hegeman.  Bottom  row — Ruth  Chamberlin 
Reiss,  Mory  Orso  Johannesen. 

An  historic  event  took  place  on  June 
28,  the  "Honor  Housers  of  '43"  had  a 
reunion.  We've  had  a  Round  Robin  go- 
ing for  thirteen  years,  although  it's  had 
several  long  vacations  in  peoples'  attics, 
but  this  is  the  first  time  we've  attempted 
to  get  together. 

The  reunion  was  instigated  by  Mary 
Orso  Johannesen  and  inspired  by  Nina 
Osovick  Magilligan's  visit  East  from  Cali- 
fornia. Mary  had  us  to  luncheon  at  her 
home  in  Morris  Plains,  New  Jersey,  and 
ten  out  of  the  original  fourteen  were  able 
to  get  there.  Billie  Poling  Roy  was  ab- 
sent due  to  the  arrival  of  her  sixth  baby 
(a  girl  whom  they  named  Treva)  in  May. 
That  makes  three  of  each  for  Billie,  and 
she  holds  the  record  for  the  largest  family. 
Also  missing  were  Marilyn  Eppley  Shaf- 
fer who  lives  in  Illinois,  and  Sara  Chubb 
Schaaf  who  is  with  her  husband  in  the 
service. 

Some  statistics  were  rather  interesting. 
We  have  produced  a  total  of  36  children 
which  makes  an  average  of  2.8  young'uns 
apiece.  Only  one  is  having  a  career  for 
herself  and  that  is  Jane  Griffith  who  is 
in  the  advertising  department  of  Life 
Magazine.  Alost  of  us  live  in  New  Jersey 
— nine  to  be  exact,  with  Pennsylvania, 
Connecticut,  New  York,  Illinois  and  Cali- 
fornia claiming  the  rest. 

I  am  writing  this  from  the  shores  of 
Lake  Balch  in  New  Hampshire,  so  of 
course  I  am  without  any  of  the  notes  I 
have  collected  at  home.  I'll  gather  them 
together  for  the  next  issue.  There  aren't 
many,  though,  so  how  about  dropping  me 
a  line  about  your  doings  this  summer?

In  all  the  bustle  of  getting  the  children 
ready  to  go  back  to  school,  you  just  can't 
help  but  think  of  the  few  wonderful  years 
when  we  were  returning  to  Bucknell  about 
now.  My  eagerness  wasn't  always  with 
education  in  mind,  but  the  thought  of 
getting  back  to  Pardee's,  Holtzapple's 
lime  cokes,  the  Four-Mile,  Bob  Baker,  and 
the  friendships  that  have  continued,  if 
only  by  mail,  these  past  12  years.  With 
such  nostalgia,  my  age  must  be  showing, 
so  I'd  best  get  to  the  news. 

Talked  with  Louise  Terrett  after  she  re- 
turned from  Europe  in  June.  She  phoned 
from  Margie  Swigert  Kiehl's  en  route

Henry  B.  Puff  has  been  promoted  to 
district  sales  manager  for  the  Chicago 
sales  office  of  the  Durez  Plastics  Division 
of  the  Hooker  Electrochemical  Com-

as  a"  chemist  following  his  graduation  from 
Bucknell,  transferring  to  the  sales  depart- 
ment in  1947.  He  has  two  children,  James 
R.,  5  and  Margaret  3  years  old.  Since 
leaving  Bucknell,  Henry  says,  "Been 
working  hard  and  having  a  great  deal  of 
fun  besides."

Class  notes  are  brief  this  time,  and  just 
this  once  I  am  glad  for  I  wish  to  include 
a  special  message  to  Nancy  Woehling 
Moore.  Speaking  for  myself,  but  perhaps 
more  properly  speaking  for  our  whole 
class,  "Thank  you  very  much  for  your 
service  to  all  of  us  in  helping  each  of  us 
to  keep  informed  of  the  activities  of 
friends  and  classmates  of  '45.  We  have 
welcomed  your  news  and  appreciate  your 
time  and  effort.  Well  done!"  And  as  for 
the  rest  of  you  '45ers,  I  shan't  be  able  to 
fill  either  Nancy's  shoes  or  Nancy's  col- 
umn unless  each  of  you  will  be  responsible 
for  letting  me  know  when  nice  things  like 
new  babies,  new  jobs,  new  homes,  or  new 
honors  come  your  way. 

A  new  honor  has  come  to  Mrs.  Robert 
B.  Bartlow  (Anne  Gerhard).  She  has 
been  elected  secretary  of  the  Bucknell

word  of  Dannjf  and  David's  new  sister 
Suzanne,  born  on  May  31.  Congratula- 
tions to  all  of  these  little  "thirds." 

Now  then,  if  the  above  doesn't  seem 
like  much  news  to  you,  although  it  is  all 
that  has  been  received,  what  have  you 
been  doing?    Please.

HOMECOMING  FEATURES  DEDICATION  OF 

FREAS-ROOKE  SWIMMING  POOL 


Buckiiell's  football  loss  to  Lafayette  13-7, 
failed  to  dampen  the  spirit  of  the  Home- 
coming fans,  in  their  enjoyable  reunions  with 
old  friends  and  classmates. 

The  curtain  rose  on  the  weekend  festivi- 
ties Friday  evening  when  a  capacity  crowd 
assembled  in  Bucknell's  newest  addition  to 
the  physical  plant,  the  Freas-Rooke  Swim- 
ming Pool,  to  view  an  impressive  aquatic 
show  and  dedication  ceremonies. 

The  aquatic  show  featured  the  evolution 
of  swimming  by  a  group  of  Bucknell  male 
students,  s\-nchronized  swimming  by  Buck- 
nell coeds,  scuba  diving  by  Mr.  Robert 
Kerper  of  Reading,  a  freestyle  relay  race, 
and  a  di\"ing  demonstration  by  Miss  Diane 
Lewis  and  Mr.  Chris  Keller  of  the  L'niver- 
sity  of  Pennsylvania ;  Douglas  R.  Forsyth ; 
and  Bruce  O.  Hutchinson,  both  Bucknell 
students. 

President  Merle  M.  Odgers  presided  at 
the  dedication  exercises  while  Dr.  Joseph  W. 
Henderson,  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees, expressed  the  thanks  of  the  University 
to  Mr.  A.  Guy  Freas  and  Mr.  Robert  L. 
Kooke  for  their  generous  gift. 

Festivities  in  Full  Swing 

Attendance  at  the  Bison  Club  Breakfast 
again  exceeded  past  records,  over  100  Bison 
rooters  being  present.  More  and  more  lady 
Bisons  (Bisonettes  to  you)  are  gracing  the 
Bison  Breakfast  Board.  After  a  substantial 
breakfast,  President  Jay  P.  Mathias  intro- 
duced Dr.  Joseph  \V.  Henderson,  Chairman 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  who  paid  a  glowing 
compliment  to  Dr.  Odgers,  Bucknell's  Presi- 
dent, who  is  leading  the  entire  Bucknell 
Family  forward  as  a  smooth-working  team. 

Following  the  self-introduction  of  guests, 
the  assembled  Bisons  heard  athletic  reports 
from  .\lbert  Humphreys,  Director  of  Ath- 
letics ;  Harry  Hulmes,  Athletic  Publicity, 
and  Coaches  Bus  Blum ;  Ben  Kribbs ;  Bob 
l^tour;  Bill  Wrablcy  and  Harry  Lawrence, 
head  coach  of  football. 

Following  the  Bison  Club  breakfast  at  the 
I^wisburg  Club,  Alumni,  students,  and  local 
citizenry  stationed  themselves  along  the 
route  of  the  homecoming  parade.  .'\  warm 
■-un  which  broke  through  an  early  morning 
overcast  greeted  the  spectators  as  the  pa- 
rade, under  KOTC  direction,  moved  prompt- 
ly at  10  a.  m.  The  parade  included  The 
Bivjn  Band  of  Bucknell.  five  high  school 
l«ind.4,  officials  of  various  organizations,  and 
fraternity-sorority  floats.  Those  fraternities, 
v>roritics,  and  independents  represented  were 
as  follows;  Ko>)crts  Hall;  Lambda  Chi  Al- 
|)ha  and  Pi  Beta  Phi ;  Tau  Kappa  Rpsilon 
and  .Mpha  Chi  OmtKa ;  Phi  Kappa  Psi  and 
Delta  Delta  Delta ;  Phi  lambda  Thcta  aiul

.ind  third  prizes  going  to  Theta  Chi  Delta

N  O  V  K  M  B  K  K      I  »  5  « 


were  won  by  Edwards  House,  Carey  House, 
and  Owens  House  in  that  order. 

Always  a  big  feature  of  any  homecoming 
is  the  selection  of  a  homecoming  queen. 
This  year  a  pretty  brunette,  Miss  Barbara 
L.  Sheffield,  a  senior  from  Wilmington,  Del., 
was  chosen  by  student  vote  and  reigned  as 
queen  for  the  weekend.  In  the  parade  she 
rode  on  a  huge  float  surrounded  by  a  court 
of  7  girls  representing  the  four  classes. 

All-Alumni  Luncheon 

After  the  parade  it  was  on  to  Davis  Gym- 
nasium for  a  delicious  lunch  and  a  rousing- 
pep  rally  under  the  direction  of  Allen  Flock, 
director  of  The  Bison  Band  of  Bucknell. 
With  the  band  blasting  away  and  the  cheer- 
leaders whooping  it  up,  the  crowd  caught 
fire  with  a  spirit  that  was  to  be  carried  to 
the  gridiron  and  produce  a  near-upset  victory 
over  the  favored  Leopards  from  Lafayette. 

With  full  stomachs  and  a  determined 
spirit  the  Alumni  moved  from  the  gym  to 
the  football  field  where  they  were  to  see  not 
only  a  thrilling  football  game,  but  the  Bison's 
finest  performance  of  the  season.  Although 
the  gridders  played  their  best,  their  efforts 
fell  short  of  beating  the  boys  from  Easton 
and  Lafayette  carried  away  a  13  to  7  victory. 

As  the  stadium  emptied  Alumni  again 
wound  their  way  back  to  Davis  Gymnasium 
for  the  Bison  Roundup  and  Reception  where 
everyone  rallied  over  pretzels  and  cider  to 
renew  old  memories  and  acquaintances. 

All-Campus  Dance 

-Another  aquatic  show  and  the  all-campus 
dance  featured  the  evening  entertainment. 
Mai  .Arter  '49  and  his  orchestra  supplied  the 
music  while  at  intermission  Lee  Rankin  '57, 
the  master  of  ceremonies,  presided  over  the 
inter-fraternity  song  contest  and  the  presen- 
tation of  trophies  to  the  homecoming  queen, 
tlie   float  winners,  and  the  house  decoration 


winners.  Delta  Upsilon  took  first  place  in 
the  song  contest  with  Phi  Gamma  Delta  and 
Sigma  Chi  tying  for  second  place  and  Phi 
Lambda  Theta  placing  third. 

The  weekend  was  by  far  one  of  the  most 
successful  homecoming  weekends  ever  to  be 
held  on  these  300  acres.

at  least,  the  project  for  the  purchase  of  cases 
to  house  the  Davis  Collection  has  been  with- 
drawn.

The  formal  opening  of  Bucknell's  111th  academic  year  took  place  September  26  when 
Chief  Justice  Warren  addressed  a  capacity  audience  in  Davis  Gymnasium. 

Chief  Justice  Warren  directed  his  remarks  to  the  student  body  of  approximately  2,000 
urging  them  to  become  interested  in  their  government,  "not  after  you  have  made  a  success 
in  business  because  that  might  be  too  late — but  now !  It  is  something  one  cannot  afford  to 
postpone,"  he  declared.  In  the  main,  Chief  Justice  Warren  spoke  of  education  in  the  light  of 
its  affects  on  the  world. 

Describing  the  Chief  Justice  as  "a  student  of  politics  in  the  best  sense  of  the  term," 
Dr.  Karl  D.  Hartzell,  dean  of  the  University  presented  Justice  Warren  for  the  honorary 
degree  of  doctor  of  civil  law.     President  Merle  M.  Odgers  conferred  the  degree.

veloped by  Campbell  Rutledge  '33  and  Frank 
Gerlitz  '34  and  somewhat  modified  by  the 
executive  committee  as  a  whole. 

And  Business  Too 

Not  all  of  the  several  thousand  Bucknel- 
lians  who  visited  the  campus  Homecoming 
Weekend  devoted  their  time  to  football  and 
entertainment.  As  has  been  true  the  past 
few  years,  an  increasing  number  devoted  a 
part  of  Homecoming  Weekend  to  business 
meetings.  On  Friday  evening  the  Board  of 
Directors  of  the  General  Alumni  Association 
met  until  a  late  hour  considering  plans  for 
expansion  of  LTniversity  alumni  services  on 
many  fronts,  notably  the  alumni  club  pro- 
gram,  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS 
publication  schedule  and  the  Bucknell  Alumni 
Annual   Giving   Program. 

On  Saturday  morning,  classes  whose 
numerals  end  in  "2"  and  "7"  discussed  prep- 
arations for  regular  five-year  reunions 
scheduled  for  June  1957. 

The  Committee  on  Nomination  for  Alumni 
Trustee  met  and  selected  three  women  candi- 
dates who  will  be  balloted  upon  in  the  na- 
tion-wide election  in  April  1957.  The 
Alumni  Awards  Committee  also  met  Satur- 
day morning  to  study  the  achievements  of 
Bucknell  alumni  and  to  select  candidates  to 
receive  three  alumni  awards  to  be  made  in 
June   1957. 

NOVEMBER      1958

sey, at  the  6Sth  Annual  Continental  Con- 
gress of  the  National  Society,  Daughters  of 
the  American  Revolution  held  in  Washing- 
ton, D.  C.  when  she  was  elected  a  Vice  Pres-

DON    KOPPES 

After  the  first  four  games  of  1956  it  is 
still  difficult  to  predict  the  eventual  rec- 
ord of  the  Bucknell  football  team.  It  may 
be  safe  to  state,  however,  that  at  the  mo- 
ment an  even  split  in  the  eight  contests 
vifould  be  most  satisfactory.  Remaining 
on  the  schedule  at  this  writing  are  unde- 
feated Lafayette,  Temple,  Bufifalo  and  al- 
ways powerful  Colgate.  Lafayette  and 
Buffalo  are  to  be  met  at  Lewisburg.  Tem- 
ple and  Buffalo  may  have  to  be  touched 
for  whatever  victories  are  to  be  gained. 

Many  observers  were  misled  into  believ- 
ing that  the  Bisons  would  show  a  stiff 
defense  throughout  the  season  when  they 
opened  with  13-0  and  17-7  wins  over  Al- 
bright and  Gettysburg,  respectively.  The 
starved  Albright  Lions,  still  winless  after 
four  contests,  threatened  several  times  but 
failed  to  score,  mainly  because  the  Herd 
kept  possession  of  the  pigskin  and  ran 
almost  twice  as  many  plays  as  their  rivals. 

A  week  later,  Bucknell  yielded  a  68- 
yard  touchdown  gallop  to  Gettysburg's 
Frank  Capitani  in  the  first  quarter,  then 
tightened  up  and  never  permitted  the 
Bullets  to  penetrate  too  deeply  into  scor- 
ing territory.  In  both  of  these  early  con- 
quests the  defense  was  hailed  as  being 
superior  to  the  offense — but  maybe  that 
could  be  attributed  to  the  fact  that  it  had 
less  to  do.  The  Bisons  were  able  to  main- 
tain control  of  the  ball  against  both  foes. 

Came  the  Lehigh  game  and  the  dawn, 
simultaneously.  While  the  attack  irn- 
proved  a  bit  over  its  initial  showings  it 
wasn't  able  to  hold  on  to  the  ball  for  pro- 
longed periods.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  it 
fumbled  the  ball  away  twice  to  result 
eventually  in  Engineer  touchdowns.  But 
the  line  proved  the  biggest  disappoint- 
ment, failing  to  contain  a  Lehieh  eleven 
that  had  been  routed  by  Delaware,   33-7, 

6 


the  previous  week.  With  quarterback  Dan 
Nolan  and  halfback  Bob  Naylor  spear- 
heading the  assault,  the  Engineers  worked 
84  plays  to  Bucknell's  51  and  netted  208 
yards  on  the  ground.  They  always  seemed 
to  be  able  to  grind  out  those  important 
yards  that  meant  first  down  and  continued 
possession. 

This  provided  the  tip-off  on  what  to 
expect  at  Newark  against  Delaware.  The 
Blue  Hens  didn't  disappoint,  rolling 
through  the  Herd  for  252  yards  on  the 
ground,  en  route  to  a  26-7  decision,  against 
Lafayette,  who  knows,  at  this  writing? 

There  have  been  reasons  for  the  power 
failure  up  front.  As  will  happen  to  any 
squad  that  has  little  depth,  the  Bisons 
have  been  hampered  by  injuries.  Only 
34  boys  reported  for  practice  on  Septem- 
ber 1,  and  that,  less  the  infirm,  has  been 
the  team. 

Veteran  end  Bill  Reilly  was  the  first 
to  be  cancelled  out,  banging  up  an  ankle 
before  the  Penn  scrimmage  to  such  an 
extent  that  he  hasn't  drilled  since.  Others 
to  be  sidelined  for  indefinite  periods  in- 
clude promising  sophomore  quarterback 
Lee  Davis,  who  tore  ligaments  in  his  leg- 
prior  to  the  Lehigh  game,  and  starting 
guard  Gene  Meenan,  who  twisted  a  knee 
during  a  passing  drill  the  same  week. 
Davis  is  probably  out  for  the  season, 
while  Meenan,  whose  absence  was  felt 
during  the  losses  to  Lehigh  and  Delaware, 
may  be  back  in  time  to  face  Temple. 

All  has  not  been  grave,  however.  The 
backfield,  which  got  off  to  such  an  in- 
auspicious start,  may  have  righted  itself 
with  the  rapid  development  of  halfbacks 
Bill  Ross  and  Jack  Brothers.  In  the  first 
two  games  the  attack,  of  necessity,  had 
to  be  al!  Don  Koppes.  That  the  sturdy 
fullback  was  equal  to  the  task  was  appar- 
ent by  the  results  of  those  contests. 

Koppes,  a  senior  who  gobbled  up  374 
yards  as  Bob  Ford's  sub  a  year  ago, 
lugged  the  leather  no  fewer  than  52  times 
in  those  early  outings.  To  date  he's  made 
78  carries  and  picked  up  373  yards.  To 
say  that  Don's  the  main  cog  in  the  Buck- 
nell attack  would  be  a  gross  understate- 
ment. He  is  also  a  defensive  mainstay 
at  his  linebacker  spot  and  by  season's  end 
he  will  undoubtedly  prove  himself  to  be 
the  team's  most  valuable  performer. 

Anything  that  Koppes  does  is  not  unex- 
pected. It  has  remained  for  Ross  and 
Brothers  to  supply  the  surprises.  Both 
started  to  warm  up  against  Lehigh.  They 
were  sizzling  against  Delaware,  especially 
on  the  defense  where  they  bowled  over 
blockers  and  dumped  Blue  Hen  ball  car- 
riers time  after  time  when  they  seemed 
about  to  break  loose  and  go  all  the  way. 
From  now  on  they  should  be  able  to  pro- 
vide vital  halfback  support  for  Koppes, 
who  can  be  relieved  of  some  of  the  offen- 
sive pressure. 

Bucknell's  First  Swim  Team 

The  recent  construction  of  the  Freas- 
Rooke  Pool  on  the  Bucknell  campus  will 
make  it  possible  for  the  school  to  form  its 
first  swimming  team.  Four  intercollegiate 
meets  have  been  arranged  for  the  Bisons, 
with  home  dates  scheduled  for  Wednes- 
day. February  6,  against  Delaware,  and 
Tuesday,  February  19,  when  Gettysburg 
will  be  the  opponent.  Coach  Bob  Latour 
expects  to  get  practice  underway  by  No- 
vember 12.  In  addition  to  the  varsity 
competition,  the  pool  will  also  be  the 
scene  of  intramural  activity  during  the 
winter  months. 


Coach  Bob  Latour's  freshman  football 
team  got  away  to  an  auspicious  start  by 
bowling  over  Franklin  and  Marshall,  37- 
13,  on  October  5  at  Lancaster.  Quarter- 
back Dennis  Cox,  Baltimore,  Md.,  scored 
one  touchdown  and  passed  to  end  Ken 
Russo,  Montclair,  N.  J.,  for  another. 
Halfbacks  Don  Hayes,  Stroudsburg,  and 
Ray  Hettche,  Baltimore,  Md.,  each  tallied 
once,  while  fullback  George  Salinger,  Har- 
risburg,  accounted  for  a  pair  of  six-point- 
ers. 

As  impressive  as  the  yearling  Bisons 
looked  in  the  opener  they  did  a  complete 
turnabout  while  dropping  a  24-14  decision 
to  Gettysburg  at  Lewisburg  on  October 
12.  Whatever  the  record  they  may  com- 
pile as  frosh  there's  still  some  promising 
varsity  material  on  the  squad.  Most  of 
the  boys  are  big  and  fast  and  lend  en- 
couragement for  Bucknell's  football  fu- 
ture. 


BU  Soccermen  Defeat  Temple 

The  early  play  of  Coach  Hank  Peters' 
soccer  team  was  featured  by  a  2-1  tri- 
umph over  Temple  University  on  Octo- 
ber 5  at  Lewisburg.  It  was  the  first  time, 
since  1937  that  the  Blue  and  Orange  hoot- 
ers had  whipped  the  Owls.  George  Dow- 
den,  a  senior  from  Ridley  Park,  notched 
both  of  the  Bisons'  goals,  the  second 
breaking  a  1-1  deadlock  with  eight  min- 
utes to  play.  Goalie  Lee  Hamilton,  a 
senior  from  Marion,  Ohio,  played  a  stellar 
game  in  front  of  the  nets  for  Bucknell, 
repelling  numerous  Temple  threats. 

Penn  State's  N.  C.  A.  A.  champions 
handed  the  Bisons  a  7-0  setback  in  their 
opener  on  September  29.  at  LTniversity 
Park.  Following  the  Temple  victory 
Coach  Peters  herded  his  boys  down  to 
Chestertown,  Md.  for  a  tussle  with  Wash- 
ington College  on  October  13.  After  two 
overtime  periods  the  contest  wound  up 
a  scoreless  tie.  Once  again  Lee  Hamilton 
excelled  protecting  the  Bisons'  goal. 


Bucknell  Dribblers  Commence  Drills 

Coach  Benton  Kribbs  issued  a  call  for 
varsity  basketball  candidates  on  October 
15.  At  that  time  preparations  were  to  be- 
gin for  the  22-game  schedule  that  opens 
on  December  1  at  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  against 
Cornell.  Once  again  the  Bisons  will  par- 
ticipate in  the  Hofstra  Tournament  at 
Hempstead,  N.  Y.,  on  December  27,  28, 
29  and  30.  Nine  home  contests  are  listed 
for  the  1956-57  campaign.

Bucknell  Review 


Bucknell  Fatliers  Elect 
President 

Walter  Frc-und,  of  .Scarsdalc,  N.  Y.,  was 
riertcd  president  of  the  Bucknell  University 
Fathers  Asv»ciation  when  Dad's  Day  was 
observed  nn  the  campus  October  6. 

Mr.  Frcund,  vice  president  of  the  Chemi- 
cal Bank  and  Trust  Com|)any  of  N'ew  York 
City,  is  the  father  of  Gladys  Frcund,  a 
Burkncll  senior. 

Directors  of  the  Fathers  Association,  at 
thdr  annual  business  mcclinK,  voted  to  ear- 
mark all  contrilrtitioiis  made  by  Bucknell 
frtirents  durinK  the  cominK  year  to  the  Uni- 
versity's endowment  fund  to  inrri-ase  faculty 
salaries. 


The  May  issue  of  the  Bucknell  Reviezv 
contains  three  articles,  each  in  a  different 
area  of  intellectual  interest.  The  first,  "E. 
E.  Cummins'  Him",  is  by  Dr.  Robert  E. 
Maurer,  formerly  assistant  professor  of  En- 
glish at  Bucknell,  who  now  holds  the  same 
position  at  Antioch  College.  Dr.  Maurer 
describes  the  characters,  plot,  intention,  and 
the  critics'  reception  of  Cummins'  only  play. 
In  this  play,  the  theme  of  which  is  freedom 
for  the  artist,  Cummins  was  trying  to  re- 
lease drama  from  the  confines  of  the  pro- 
scenium stage.  He  was  also  trying  to  en- 
rich the  dialogue  and  the  action  by  the  sym- 
bolic use  of  language,  objects,  and  settings. 
His  experiments  not  only  puzzled  and  re- 
pulsed most  of  the  critics  of  the  day,  but 
still  create  difficulties  for  the  reader.  Read- 
ers of  this  article  who  are  familiar  with 
Cummins'  poetry,  but  who  have  not  read 
Him,  will  be  stimulated  to  read  it ;  those 
who  have  read  Hivi  will  find  that  the  article 
will  help  them  to  understand  it. 

The  second  article,  "Transfer  of  Training 
in  the  Humanities,"  is  by  Eugene  L.  Gaier 
and  Ray  Love,  both  of  whom  are  assistant 
professors  of  psychology  at  Louisiana  State 
University.  It  purports  to  examine  two 
questions : 

1.  What  efifects  upon  the  student's  future 
behavior  accrue  from  studying  the  great 
works  of  the  past? 

2.  What  instructional  conditions  are  neces- 
sary for  the  realization,  if  any,  of  these  po- 
tential beneficial  effects? 

The  authors  agree  that  the  humanities 
"represent  a  potentially  rich  field  of  refer- 
ence for  the  student"  which  may  help  him 
develop  socially  desirable  concepts,  attitudes 
and  values,  but  they  do  not  answer  their 
first  question — unless  a  citation  of  a  New 
York  Regent's  inquiry  on  the  transfer  effects 
of  a  whole  educational  program  and  another 
on  the  effects  of  teaching  honesty  in  Sun- 
day School  be  evidence  for  "the  humanities." 
.As  for  their  second  question,  they  agree  that 
the  probability  of  beneficial  effects  on  the 
student's  behavior  through  study  of  the  hu- 
manities will  be  increased  if : 

1.  The  educational  objectives  of  courses 
are  relevant  to  life  situations. 

2.  The  objectives  of  the  courses  are  ob- 
tained. 

3.  The  student  is  afforded  opportunity  to 
examine  concepts  and  values  in  a  variety  of 
contexts. 

All  of  these  goals  seem  .sound.  Unfortu- 
nately, the  article  raises  important  and  dark 
questions  of  interest  to  teachers  of  the  hu- 
manities, but  fails  to  illuminate  them. 

The  third  article  "The  Cession  of  Florida 
and  John  Quincy  Adams,  ,Sccretary  of  State, 
U.  .S.  A."  is  by  Lester  Harris  ("Bucknell  'II), 


Admiral  Strauss  Heads 
Engineering  Department 

Rear  Admiral  Elliott  B.  Strauss,  U.  S.  N. 
retired,  has  been  appointed  director  of  en- 
gineering at  Bucknell  University,  where  he 
assumed  his  new  duties   September  1. 

Admiral  Strauss  succeeds  Rear  Admiral 
Ernest  M.  EUer,  who  became  Bucknell's 
first  director  of  engineering  last  year  and 
who  has  been  recalled  to  active  duty  by  the 
Navy  to  serve  in  Washington,  D.  C,  as 
director  of  naval  history. 

Bucknell's  new  engineering  director  was 
graduated  from  the  U.  S.  Naval  Academy 
in  1923  and  was  retired  by  the  Navy  last 
year  after  32  years  of  active  service  which 
included  important  commands  in  both  Eu- 
ropean and  Asiatic  waters  during  World 
War  II. 

After  the  war,  he  was  attached  to  the 
Military  Staff  Committee  of  the  United  Na- 
tions and  then  commanded  the  new  Anti 
Aircraft  Cruiser  Fresno.  Later,  he  at- 
tended the  Imperial  Defense  College  in  Lon- 
don and  served  in  the  Office  of  the  Chief 
of  Naval  Operations  before  assuming  com- 
mand of  a  destroyer  flotilla. 

From  1952  until  1955  he  served  with  the 
U.  S.  Delegation  to  NATO  in  Paris  as  Di- 
rector of  the  Defense  Programs  Division 
and  later  represented  the  U.  S.  Department 
of  Defense  in  Europe  for  the  regulation  of 
East- West  trade  in  strategic  materials. 

Admiral  Strauss  was  decorated  several 
times  for  his  services  to  his  country  and 
was  honored  by  the  British  and  French  gov- 
ernments as  well. 

Married  and  the  father  of  four  children. 
Admiral  Strauss  now  lives  in  Lewisburg. 
Both  he  and  Admiral  Eller  represented  the 
University  at  a  conference  on  "Engineering 
Education  and  Nuclear  Energy"  at  Gatlin- 
burg,  Tenn.,  Sept.  5  to  8,  sponsored  by  the 
U.  S.  Atomic  Energy  Commisison. 


English  Department  Prepares 
Reading  List 

In  1956  a  written  examination  for  all  ma- 
jors in  English  was  instituted  by  the  English 
Department.  A  reading  list  to  guide  the  ma- 
jors had  been  distributed  the  previous  year. 

Last  spring  the  department  made  available, 
to  all  students  in  the  L'niversity,  a  more  gen- 
eral reading  list  in  literature. 

Alumni  also  may  get,  free  of  charge,  the 
special  list  for  majors  or  the  general  list  by 
writing  the  Alumni  Office. 


Attorney-at-Law  in  Orlando,  Florida.  The 
importance  of  the  cession  to  the  United 
.States,  the  difficulty  of  the  negotiation  caused 
by  some  clever  dealing  on  tlie  part  of  the 
Spanish  negotiator,  and  the  diplomatic  skill 
of  John  Quincy  .Adams  are  described  in 
considerable   detail.

AMONG  THE  CLUBS. 


NORTHERN  NEW  JERSEY— A  recep- 
tion for  incoming  freshmen  was  held  at 
the  Watchung  Presbyterian  Church  on 
Watchung  Avenue  in  Bloomfield,  N.  J. 
on  September  9,  19S6. 

Many  members  of  the  alumni  associa- 
tion were  present  to  welcome  the  fresh- 
men and  their  parents. 

Charles  T.  Farrow,  Jr.  '26,  president  of 
the  Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of  Northern 
New  Jersey,  was  chairman  of  the  meeting. 
Following  the  welcoming  address,  the 
meeting  was  turned  over  to  Daniel  Roth- 
ermel  '38,  vice  principal  of  Fairlawn  High 
School,  who  acted  as  moderator  for  the 
discussion  period.  The  freshmen  were  di- 
vided into  two  discussion  groups.  Mem- 
bers of  the  men's  panel  were  Ray  Leseth 
'59,  Glen  Rock;  Homer  Wieder,  Jr.  '58, 
Plainfield;  Ken  Lonoff  '57,  South  Orange. 

The  women's  panel  consisted  of  Sally 
Miller  '59,  Summit;  Ruth  Heidemann  '58, 
Montclair;  Elizabeth  Kilbury  '59,  Verona; 
Ginny  Emmitt  '59,  Madison,  with  Dorothy 
Slifkin  '58,  Bloomfield,  acting  as  moder- 
ator. 

After  the  discussion  period,  refresh- 
ments were  served  by  the  refreshment 
committee,  headed  by  Robert  List  '40. 

Approximately  100  freshmen,  parents 
and  alumni  attended  this  interesting  and 
highly  successful  meeting. 

Our  next  meeting  of  the  year  was  held 
at  the  Friar  Tuck  Inn  in  Cedar  Grove,  N. 
J.,  on  Friday,  October  5,  1956.  After  a 
social  hour,  and  a  delicious  chicken  dinner 
our  president,  Charles  Farrow,  Jr.,  '26, 
conducted    a   brief    business    meeting. 

The  meeting  was  then  turned  over  to 
Robert  List  '48,  program  director,  who 
presented  the  speakers  of  the  evening; 
former  football  players  from  1910  to  1956, 
who  entertained  and  amused  us  with  hu- 
morous anecdotes  from  their  personal 
football  experiences.  Those  who  spoke 
were  Edgar  Snyder  '11,  a  representative 
of  Bucknell's  early  football;  Eugene  Hub- 
ka  '47,  former  pro-football  player  and 
present  coach  of  Plainfield  High  School; 
Chet  Dawson  '48,  coach  of  East  Orange 
High  School;  and  Burt  Talmadge  '55, 
who  presented  the  "younger  generation's" 
viewpoint. 

The  final  guest  speaker  of  the  evening 
was  Jay  P.   Mathias  '35,  president  of  the 


Bison  Club,  who  spoke  on  present  day 
football  activities,  and  Bucknell's  Athletic 
Aid  Program.  We  then  saw  moving  pic- 
tures of  the  1956  Bucknell-Gettysburg 
game.  The  winning  ticket  for  the  door 
prize — two  tickets  on  the  50  yard  line  for 
the  Bucknell  Homecoming  game  with 
Lafayette  on  October  20,  was  held  by 
William  Ernst  '49,  of  Bloomfield.  There 
were  130  Bucknellians  present  to  make 
this  our  most  successful  meeting.

PITTSBURGH  LUNCHEON 
MOVES 

The  weekly  luncheon  meetings  of 
the  Pittsburgh  alumni  group  have 
been  moved  to  the  Kaufman  Depart- 
ment Store,  11th  Floor  Dining 
Room,   Fifth  Avenue,  Pittsburgh. 

The  time  of  the  luncheon  remains 
the  same  which  is  every  Friday  at 
noon. 

A  cordial  invitation  to  all  Buck- 
nellians to  attend  the  weekly  lunch- 
eons is  extended  by  Floyd  L.  Arbo- 
gast,  Jr.  '40,  president  of  the  Buck- 
nell Alumni  Club  of  Western  Penn- 
sylvania. 


READING— The  Reading  Alumni  Club 
held  its  fourth  successful  Freshman  Re- 
ception at  the  Wyomissing  Club  in  Read- 
ing, Pa.,  September  10. 

The  program  for  the  evening  was  led 
by  William  Pflum,  Jr.,  president.  The 
freshmen  and  their  parents  were  intro- 
duced in  a  "round-robin"  fashion.  Nancy 
Fisher,  a  senior,  gave  a  description  of 
extra  curricular  activities  at  Bucknell, 
and  Francis  M.  Corrigan,  also  a  senior, 
discussed  sports.  We  were  happy  to 
again  have  John  H.  Shott,  Alumni  Secre- 
tary, with  us  as  our  main  speaker.  He 
gave  us  interesting  and  enlightening  "Pre- 
views of  Bucknell."  The  closing  speaker 
of  the  program  was  Dr.  Clair  Spangler, 
one  of  our  Reading  Alumni,  who  is  at 
present  Alumni  Trustee.  Dr.  Spangler 
spoke  on  "Bucknell,  Past-Present-Fu- 
ture." 


Following  the  program,  refreshments 
were  served,  and  the  forty-five  alumni, 
freshmen,  and  parents  enjoyed  an  hour 
of  "getting-to  know-one-another." 

The  Reading  area  alumni  had  the  ex- 
treme pleasure  of  having  the  Bison's  fine 
football  team  visit  their  hoinetown  on 
September  22  when  they  played  and  ex- 
celled over  the  Albright  College  Lions. 

Our  alumni  club  took  full  advantage 
of  seeing  Alma  Mater  in  action  and  had 
a  block  of  seats  reserved  for  the  game. 
We  feel  sure  the  lusty  cheers  of  the  alumni 
helped  to  spur  our  team  on  to  victory. 

After  the  game,  the  alumni  present  at 
the  game  proceeded  to  the  Wyomissing 
Club  in  Reading  where  a  lovely  bufifet 
lunch  awaited  them.  It  follows  naturally 
that  at  this  victory  celebration  after  the 
game,  the  Reading  alumni  enjoyed  re- 
newing friendships,  chatting  about  Buck- 
nell, and  discussing  the  game.  To  say  the 
very  least  "A  fine  time  was  had  by  all."

WESTCHESTER— The  Bucknell  Alum-

annual  reception  for  new  Bucknellians  and 
their  parents  on  September  10,  at  the 
Rye  Presbyterian  Church,  Rye,  N.  Y. 
Some  ninety  Alumni,  friends  and  guests 
attended.  After  a  welcome  by  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  Club,  the  new  students  and 
their  parents  were  divided  into  smaller 
groups  for  informal  talks  and  question  and 
answer  periods  on  some  aspects  of  the 
Bucknell  way  of  life  which  might  not 
have  seemed  adequately  covered  by  offi- 
cial University  literature. 

The  group  reassembled  afterwards  for 
a  get-acquainted  hour  over  coffee  and 
cake.

CONTRIBUTORS  1955-1956 

Gifts  Received  From  July  1,  1955,  to  June  30,  1956 


The  following  is  a  list  of  the  names  of  ALUMNI,  FACULTY, 
FRIENDS,  and  PARENTS  who  mode  contributions  to  the  University 
during  the  EIGHTH  FUND  YEAR,  1955-1956.  Names  of  PARENTS 
who  contributed  to  the  FATHERS'  LOYALTY  FUND  ore  listed  on 
page  21. 

As  a  result  of  the  generosity  of  the  Bucknell  Family,  the  Alumni 
Annual  Giving  Fund  has  reached  a  total  beyond  any  previous  year. 
And,  in  addition,  the  gifts  of  alumni  enabled  the  University  to  receive 
a  special  Fund  matching  gift  from  Bucknell's  great  benefactor,  Mr. 
Rush  H.  Kress  of  the  Class  of  1900.  His  matching  gift  on  a  one- 
dollar  for  each  two-dollars  of  alumni  contributions,  in  the  amount  of 
$19,368.85  has  been  received.  Our  thanks  for  this  generous  gift 
ore  extended  to  Mr.  Kress. 


Extreme  care  has  been  taken  in  the  preparation  of  the  following 
list,  but  some  errors  and  omissions  are  almost  inevitable.  We  will 
appreciate  if  you  will  bring  such  errors  to  the  ottention  of  the  ALUMNI 
OFFICE.  No  doubt  some  gifts  intended  for  the  past  Fund  year  were 
received  after  July  1,  1956.  These  gifts  will  be  credited  to  the 
present  Ninth  Alumni  Annual  Giving  Fund  and  the  donors'  names 
will  appear  on  the  Ninth  Fund  list,  to  be  published  in  November 
1957.  The  numbers  in  parentheses  following  the  names  of  givers 
indicate  the  number  of  years  of  giving  since  the  Fund  was  established 
in  1948.  It  is  hoped  that  each  alumnus  can  moke  an  annual  gift 
because  Alumni  Fund  giving  under  the  "living  endowment"  principle 
requires  that  the  annual  gift  be  mode  continuously.

WHAT  IS  THE  ALUMNI  FUND? 

The  plan  for  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  is  simple.  Alumni  dues  and 
magazine  subscriptions  have  been  discontinued.  Every  alumnus  and  friend 
of  Bucknell  is  invited  to  contribute  annually  to  the  University  for  current 
operations.  Each  person  contributing,  no  matter  what  the  amount,  will  be 
listed  as  a  donor  in  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS. 

The  amount  contributed  to  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  alone  this  past 
year  equals  the  return  on  more  than  $980,000  of  invested  endowment.  By 
their  increasing  support  of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund,  alumni  and  friends 
can  make  it  more  and  more  a  substantial  "living  endowment."

BUCKNELL  UNIVERSITY 

PERSONAL  SOLICITATION 

1955-1956 

Area  committees  were  organized  in  ten  alumni  centers.  New  areas  in 
which  personal  solicitation  was  conducted  for  the  first  time  included  Cleve- 
land, Ohio;  Westchester  County,  New  York;  York,  Pennsylvania.  An  esti- 
mated 270  alumni  workers  were  engaged  in  the  program  of  visiting  five  alumni 
each.  In  all  but  one  of  the  areas  the  percentage  of  participation  exceeded  the 
general  average  of  22%. 

The  value  of  personal  solicitation  was  again  clearly  demonstrated  by  the 
fact  that  over  half  of  the  contributors  were  folks  who  had  never  before  made 
a  gift  to  the  Buckneli  Alumni  Annual  Giving  Program.

Fla..  a  former  resident  and  chief  burgess 
of  Le\\-isburg,  died  May  21  at  his  home 
following  an  illness  of  one  month.  He  at- 
tended Bucknell  Academy  in  1894-95  and 
was  a  member  of  the  Sigma  .\lpha  Ep- 
silon  fraternity.  He  was  a  veteran  of  the 
Spanish-American  War  and  World  War 
I.  He  had  been  active  in  army  reserves 
for  many  years. 

His  first  wife,  the  former  Clara  Russel 
'96,  preceded  him  in  death  in  1940. 

Surviving  are  his  wife:  two  daugliters. 
Mrs.  Jeanne  Merkel.  Jacksonville,  Fla., 
and  Mrs.  Ellen  Koser  Johnson  '34.  Ber- 
wick: a  son.  Ralph  B.  Koser  '31,  Scars- 
borough,  X.  v.,  and  three  grandchildren. 
Burial  was  in  the  Lewisburg  Cemetery. 

Frank  Stanton  '02  was  honored  on  May 
17  when  the  Board  of  Religious  Education 
and  Board  of  Deacons  of  The  Federated 
Church,  Chagrin  Falls,  Ohio,  jointly  spon- 
sored a  "Frank  Stanton  Night"  at  the 
church  dining  room.  A  dinner  was  served 
and  was  followed  by  a  program  in  Frank's 
honor.  His  pastor,  John  W.  Townsend, 
summed  up  his  career  in  the  following  re- 
mark: "Frank  has  taught  Sunday  School 
more  years  than  I  have  lived.  He  has 
served  the  church  in  almost  every  possi- 
ble waj-.  He  has  been  !Mayor  of  Chagrin 
Falls  and  now  serves  on  the  Charter 
Commission.  He  has  appeared  in  a  large 
number  of  Little  Theater  plays  and  has 
worked  with  them  since  their  beginning. 
He  was  first  president  of  the  local  Kiwan- 
is  Club,  Churchman,  coach,  teacher,  attor- 
ney, builder,  actor,  philosopher,  father  of 
four  fine  boys — Frank  is  an  institution." 

Characteristically,  Frank  quipped:  "I 
hope  you're  not  trying  to  bury  me  before 
I'm  deadl" 

Anne  F.  Williams  '84  tells  us  she  is  92 
years  old  and  is  suffering  from  poor  vi- 
sion. She  has  made  her  home  in  Califor- 
nia for_a  good  many  years  and  now  lives 
at  3337  Oregon  Avenue,  Long  Beach,

MR.  WILLIAM  L.  DONEHOWER 
22  N.  Filth  St. 
Lewisburg,  Pa. 


Dr.  Carl  L.  Millward,  Milton,  was 
elected  as  a  member  of  the  nominating 
committee  of  Rotary  International  at  the 
annual  convention.  He  is  one  of  seven- 
teen men  chosen  from  the  various  zones 
to  serve  on  the  committee  that  will  select 
future  leaders  for  the  world  organization. 

Word  has  been  received  of  the  death 
of  Edwin  N.  Wallis  on  March  11,  1955. 
Lie  is  survived  by  a  daughter,  Mrs.  Rus- 
sell Weber  (Virginia  D.  Wallis  '28)  to 
whom  we  extend  our  sincere  sympathy. 

One  of  the  biggest  benefits  from  a  class 
reunion  is  the  class  reunion  book  pro- 
duced. Frank  Yost  with  the  help  of  our 
members  produced  one  of  the  finest.  It 
is  inevitable  that  certain  biographical  ma- 
terial will  be  missed  as  wc  review  our 
careers.  For  instance,  we  should  have 
pointed  out  that  Dr.  Penrose  Shelley  was 
medical  director  in  Juniata  County  for 
the  Commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania  for 
13  years.  He  also  served  as  a  member 
of  the  selective  service  board  in  his  com- 
munity during  World  War  II  and  the 
Korean  conflict.  In  the  I'lrst  World  War 
he  was  captain  of  medical  units  in  lh<- 
1st  and  .32i)d  divisions  serving  in  p'raiicc 
and  Germany.

Edwin  Wilde  Saylor,  agcil  seventy- 
eight,  died  at  the  I'lorida  State  Hospital, 
Chattahoochee,  May  24,  We  all  rcmcni 
bcr  him  as  "Eddy,"  who  was  one  of  the 
most  important  members  of  the  class.  I 
particularly  rriiicmbcr  that  lie  .sat  bcsiric 
mc  at  our  matriculation  exercises  in 
Hiirkncll   Hall,  and  that,  as  we  made  out 

incomplato  bscouie  of  lock  of  ipocc.     Thcto  Itomi  will 


our  "vitas,"  he  said  to  me,  "I'm  just  ten 
years  older  than  you."  iThat  fact  indi- 
cates the  struggle  he  had  made  to  get  to 
college.  All  members  of  the  student  body 
of  those  years  will  remember  him  as 
Gretz's  right-hand  man,  whose  cheerful 
but  serious  face  at  the  cashier's  window 
was  familiar  as  a  regular  accompaniment 
of  our  payment  of  bills. 

But  that  is  not  our  only  memory  of 
Eddy.  He  took  an  intelligent  interest  in 
all  class  affairs.  After  college  he  attend- 
ed Crozer  Seminary,  graduating  B.D.  in 
1910.  Following  that  he  served  a  long 
series  of  pastorates  in  Pennsylvania,  West 
Virginia,  and  Maryland,  and  was  a  trus- 
tee of  many  denominational  organizations. 
On  June  29,  1911,  he  married  Cora  Eliza- 
beth Soles  of  Munhall,  who  survives  him. 
He  is  survived  also  by  his  children:  Ed- 
win N.  Saylor  of  Dallas,  Texas;  Jean 
(Mrs.  Richard  Harrington),  of  Stony 
I5rook,  L.  I.;  and  a  brother,  Dr.  Richard 
Saylor,  of  Upper  Darby,  Pa.;  also  by  five 
grandchildren.  He  was  also  a  member  of 
the  Masonic  order. 

Your  reporter  had  a  hard  blow  in  the 
summer  in  the  death  of  his  kid  brother 
Henry  (Bucknell  1924)  of  leukemia.  But 
like  many  others  of  the  class  who  have 
had  similar  blows,  he  is  trying  to  carry 
on.  Henry's  long  illness  prevented  Leo 
from  getting  the  campaign  for  the  fiftieth 
reunion  under  way  as  he  had  expected  to, 
but  he  trusts  that  all  classmates  are  plan- 
ning to  be  in  Lewisburg  on  Alumni  Day, 
June  eighth.  A  personal  letter  should 
reach  you  in  the  near  future.

MRS.  HOWARD  L.  HEADLAND 
(Sarah  E.  Walters) 
3911  First  Ave.,  N. 
St.  Petersburg  6,  Fla. 


To  continue  the  story  of  our  summer's 
trip  in  the  September  issue  of  THE 
BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS: 

Our  car  still  turned  toward  the  North. 
We  arrived  at  the  home  of  former  neigh- 
bors at  Goose  Cove  Lodge  on  Deer  Isle, 
Maine.  A  big  thrill  there,  was  sailing  on 
the  good  sloop  "Osprey  II"  on  Penob- 
scot Bay.  Maine  skies,  water  and  land- 
scapes are  really  super.  Very  reluctantly 
we  left  that  cove. 

Another  thrill,  however,  awaited  us. 
West  of  Concord,  N.  H.,  we  slept  a  night 
in  a  colonial  cottage  built  in  1792.  Mind 
you,  George  Washington  was  president 
then!  On  from  there  to  Binghamton,  N. 
Y.,  and  south  to  Milton  where  we  spent  a 
happv  morning  seeing  Mrs.  Dix  Colvin 
(Katherine  E.  Heinen).  She  may  come  to 
St.  Petersburg  this  winter.  Hope  she 
makes  it.  In  Sunbury  we  had  a  short 
visit  with  George  Bailets  and  wife.  They 
expect  to  return  in  October  to  their  home 
in  St.  Petersburg. 

.'\ftcr  a  day's  rest  in  New  Berlin,  the 
home  of  my  childhood,  we  diove  to  Buck- 
nell's campus.  What  changes!  Believe  it 
or  not  wc  counted  five  new  buildings  not 
there  in  '54  when  last  we  saw  it.  Guy 
Payne  claims  the  distinction  of  knowing 
more  liuckiu-ll  Aliinini  than  any  other  man 
living.  Later  "Buck"  Shott  verified  this 
statement. 

Too  bad  we  missed  seeing  Dr.  Leiser  in 
Lewisburg,  Matt  Haggerty  in  Lock  Ha- 
ven and  Amy  Bollinger  in  Reyiioldsville 
but  to  all  our  pushing  of  their  doorbells 
there  was  no  response. 

On  wc  went  to  Beaver,  I'ittsbuigh, 
Warren  and  Russell,  Pa.,  and  Allegheny 
Stale  Park,  N.  Y.  From  there  with  stops 
ill  liellcvue,  O.,  Louisville,  Ky.,  (again) 
and  Cochran,  Ga.,  we  arrived,  a  bil  tired, 
at  our  little  home  in  St.  Petersburg,  Fla., 
September  7  where  we  found  everything 
about   as   wc  had   left  it   four   months   be- 

21 
appear  in  the  noxt  liiuo* 


fore  and  after  a  swing  of  almost  6200 
miles.  As  always  we  again  invite  any  of 
you  who  may  visit  our  state  to  come  to 
see  us  at  address  above. 

And  now  from  deep  in  our  hearts  we 
wish  to  all  of  you  a  star-lit  Christmas. 
And  with  Sir  Walter  Scott:  _  "Heap  on 
more  wood! — The  wind  is  chill;  But  let 
it  whistle  as  it  will,  We'll  keep  our  merry 
Christmas  still."

MISS  MILDRED  B.  GATHERS

Bayonne,  N.  J. 


Emanuel  M.  Warmkessel,  retired 
Coughlin  High  School  teacher  in  Wilkes- 
Barre,  died  March  19,  at  Appleton,  N.  Y. 
He  had  been  ill  for  some  time  and  had 
been  residing  with  a  son,  Willard  A. 
Warmkessel,  at  Appleton.  He  had  taught 
German  and  Latin  at  Coughlin  for  32 
years.  The  sympathy  of  his  classmates  ;s 
extended  to  his  family. 

Rev  George  C.  Fetter  writes:  "I  see  by 
THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS  that  my 
two  brothers,  Newton  and  John,  have 
served  as  class  fund  managers  during  the 
past  year.  I  enclose  a  check  which  will 
make  it  100%  for  the  Fetter  family. 

I  recently  completed  a  term  as  interim 
pastor  of  a  Federated  church.  Baptist  and 
Presbyterian,  in  Carlinville,  111.  Mrs. 
Fetter  and  I  plan  to  drive  East  this  sum- 
mer for  a  visit  with  our  children  and 
grandchildren  in  Bethesda,  Md.,  and 
Schenectady.    N.   Y." 

Gorton  MacArthur  has  retired  as  gen- 
eral manager  of  the  San  Diego  Club, 
San  Diego,  Calif.  He's  been  a  busy  man: 
engineer,  designer,  builder,  active  civic 
and  fraternal  supporter.  Future  plans? 
To  quote  him,  "I  intend  to  pursue  my 
hobbies  and  do  as  I  please — when  I 
please."  Sounds  like  a  desirable  occupa- 
tion! 

Frank  "Dunk"  Eakeley  with  his  wife, 
flew  from  Texas  for  his  50th  reunion  at 
Keystone  Academy  in  June  and  afterward 
visited  with  relatives  and  friends  in  N.  J. 

At  Keystone  Academy  Commencement 
in  June,  Mrs.  Frank  K.  Gibson  (Cora 
May  Wright)  was  fittingly  memorialized 
when  her  brother  read  the  Valedictory 
address  given  by  her  at  her  commence- 
ment there  SO  years  ago.  Mrs.  Gibson 
died  in  1914.

(Maze  Callahan) 
108  W.  Penn  St. 
Muncy,  Pa. 


Pop  and  I  started  out  Monday  morning 
to  enjoy  the  beautiful  countryside.  We 
went  to  Wellsboro.  While  there  we  tried 
to  find  Marion  Fischler  '13.  She's  a  news 
correspondent  for  several  papers  since  her 
retirement  from  teaching.  Know  where 
we  found  her?  At  the  Penn  Wells  Hotel 
covering  a  Democratic  meeting — later  that 
afternoon  she  had  a  session  with  the  Re- 
publicans. We  enjoyed  her  beautiful  home 
for  a  few  minutes  then  promised  her  we 
would  make  her  another  visit. 

Earle  R.  Bartholomew  retired  as  his- 
tory teacher  in  the  Williamsport  senior 
high  in  June.  He  had  taught  in  the  school 
for  il  years. 

We  have  now  three  school  pops  who 
have  retired — "Pat"  Schreiber,  "Rip"  Ruth 
and  Earl.  We  know  "Rip"  will  be  back 
for  the  reunion — there  should  be  no  ex- 
cuses from  the  other  two.  Earl  partly 
promised  me  he  would  think  about  it. 

Announcement  has  been  made  of  the 
engagement  of  Gloria  Jane  Lange  '51, 
daughter  of  Frederick  Lange,  Jr.,  to  Wil- 
liam Robert  Frazier,  Jr.  '52,  of  Lewisburg 
and  Philadelphia.  Both  are  graduates  of 
Bucknell. 

Late  this  summer  we  went  to  the  Ma- 
sonic Home  at  Elizabethtown  to  see  "Til" 

22 


Paul  and  Mrs.  Paul.  My  but  I  was  glad 
to  see  them!  Haven't  seen  "Til"  since  our 
freshman  year  but  I  would  have  known 
him.  A  little  heavy  perhaps  but  still  the 
same  smile.  He  told  me  that  the  Ringo 
Band  from  Reading  had  played  there  and 
mention  was  made  that  Paul  Althouse 
had  sung  with  this  band.  Most  of  the 
pieces  played  had  been  composed  by  Paul's 
uncle.  Monroe  Althouse. 

1912ers  "You  know  what?"  A  question- 
naire will  be  sent  you  very  soon.  Fill  it 
out,  then  send  it  back  at  once  so  the  com- 
mittee can  begin  work  on  our  Reunion 
Book.

MR.   CHARLES  L.  SANDERS 
76  Walnut  Street 
Mifllinburg,  Pa. 


Rev.  George  F.  Haines  was  honored  by 
his  church  at  a  dinner  Sept.  13,  celebrat- 
ing the  40th  anniversary  of  his  ordination. 
He  is  serving  the  Waring  Baptist  Church 
in  Rochester,  N.  Y. 

Three  1913ers  had  an  unscheduled  re- 
union at  the  Grange  Encampment  at  Cen- 
tre Hall  in  August.  The  Sanders  broth- 
ers, C.  L.  and  C.  S.,  and  M.  Delinda  Pot- 
ter met  at  the  horticultural  building,  and 
at  no  more  fitting  place  could  the  get- 
together  have  occurred.  Right  there  be- 
fore the  eyes  of  passing  thousands  were 
several  of  Delinda's  exhibits,  blue-ribbon, 
first-prize  winners  no  less.  Her  flower  ar- 
rangements and  tatting  caught  the  fancy 
of  critical  judges  as  they  well  deserved 
to  do.  On  the  way  to  Centre  Hall  the 
Sanders'  remarked  that  they  hoped  to 
see  classmate  Delinda  there,  and  reward- 
ing were  the  moments  spent  chatting  with 
Delinda  and  a  neighbor  friend. 

Having  retired  from  his  labors  as  Bap- 
tist student  pastor  at  Cornell  after  forty 
years  of  devoted  service  (previously  re- 
ported in  this  column),  Rev.  John  D.  W. 
Fetter  now  resides  at  1466  Trumansburg 
Road,  Ithaca,  N.  Y.  For  the  first  eight 
years  of  Alumni  Fund  giving  John  was 
our  energetic  and  efficient  Fund  man- 
ager. This  duty  he  has  also  relinquished. 
Henceforth  our  manager  is  to  be  Bright 
W.  Beck  whose  signature  we  may  now 
look  forward  to  seeing  at  least  once  an- 
nually.    Best  of  fortune,  B.  W. 

Another  change  of  address  is  that  of 
O.  V.  W.  Hawkins  to  29  Washington 
Square  West,  New  York  11,  N.  Y.,  from 
his  former  location  at  One  Fifth  Avenue. 
And  in  his  note  telling  of  the  change  he 
added  his  Telephone  No.,  Gramercy 
7-1512.  If  in  the  city  a  13er  might  ring 
this  number  and  have  a  moment's  chat 
with  Orwill  or  Mrs.  Hawkins  '14,  or  per- 
haps both. 

This  reporter  says,  "Thank  You"  to  both 
John  and  Orwill  for  sending  the  new  resi- 
dence addresses.

MRS.  H.  B.  WEAVER    (Dora  Hamler) 
348  Ridge  Ave., 
New  Kensington.  Pa. 


Olive  Cooper  Haskins  writes:  "Was 
glad  to  find  out  that  once  again  I  am  on 
the  maili:ig  hst  of  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALUMNLIS.  For  years  I  had  been  one 
of  the  forgotten,  I  guess,  or  maybe  I 
wandered  about  the  globe  so  far  and  so 
fast  that  you  couldn't  keep  up  with  me. 
Anyway,  I  have  an  anchor  now,  and  may- 
be you  can  keep  me  in  mind  come  mailing 
time  again. 

"I  have  had  an  exciting  though  demand- 
ing professional  career  in  adult  education, 
on  the  faculty  of  the  University  of  Mich- 
igan and  later  directing  an  extensive  pro- 
gram in  Georgia  with  headquarters  in  At- 
lanta. While  there  I  used  to  see  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Walter  Rhoads  '11  (Jolette  Arthur 
'13)  who  live  in  Macon,  Ga. 

"Well,  come  time  to  retire  I  bought  an 
old   tavern   in    Florida,    bought   books    on 


remodeling  and  got  to  work.  It  has  been 
lots  of  fun,  and  Florida  is  quite  an  ex- 
citing place  in  which  to  live.  I  suppose 
I  shall  stay  here  though  once  in  a  while  I 
sigh  for  the  old  fields  of  combat.  If  I 
am  older  than  I  was  twenty  years  ago, 
it  is  only  the  calendar  that  says  so.  We 
shall  see! 

"I  visit  Frances  McNall  every  once  in 
a  while,  but  for  the  most  part  Bucknell 
belongs  to  a  history  that  has  few  remind- 
ers in  the  way  of  present  contacts. 

"Many  personal  regards  to  you  and 
those  you  see  who  remember  me." 

In  April,  an  interesting  letter  was  re- 
ceived from  Wilma  Knapp  Morrow.  In 
September,  1951,  several  months  after  her 
husband's  death,  Wilma  attended  the  Oc- 
cupational Therapy  School  at  the  Rich- 
mond Professional  Institute  of  the  Col- 
lege of  William  and  Mary  and  received 
her  O.  T.  certificate.  She  was  registered 
in  the  American  O.  T.  Association  in  Sep- 
tember, 1952.  Since  that  time,  she  has 
been  Director  of  Occupational  Therapy 
and  Recreation  at  the  Summit  County  Re- 
ceiving Hospital.  She  is  living  at  330 
Broadway  East,  Cuyahoga  Falls,  Ohio.

Philadelphia  19,  Pa. 


Anna  Hankins  Johnstone  lives  in  Mon- 
tray  Park,  Toms  River,  New  Jersey.  She 
writes  that  she  taught  in  high  schools  for 
5  years,  part  of  the  time  as  principal  in 
Rockledge,  Penna.  When  her  mother  died 
she  left  teaching  to  help  her  father  by 
making  a  home  for  him  at  the  parsonage. 
Later  she  became  tax  collector.  She  did 
not  like  politics  so  after  two  years  she 
decided  not  to  run  again  and  took  a  job 
as  deputy  collector.  She  is  Registrar  of 
Vital  Statistics  for  the  township  (does 
most  of  this  in  evenings).  In  between 
times  she  was  church  organist  and  trea- 
surer. In  1939  she  married  Robert  M. 
Johnstone.  Her  husband  is  retired  as  of 
March  31.  Her  hobbies  are  gardening  and 
collecting  colored  antique  glass.  Last 
summer  they  had  a  visit  with  Paul  Bog- 
gess  and  his  mother  who  were  on  their 
way  to  Atlantic  City  to  the  Baptist  Con- 
vention. 

Mrs.  James  L.  Lindsey  (Esther  Edge)

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Alexander  H.  Munro 
(Margaret  I.  Sible)  have  three  children  to 
their  marriage  of  1924.  All  have  attended 
college  and  received  honors.  Two  of  them 
are  married  and  have  given  the  Munros  3 
grandchildren.  One  daughter  met  an  un- 
timely death  in  an  automobile  accident  in 
1952.  We're  so  sorry  to  hear  this  Mar- 
garet.    Please  accept  our  sympathy. 

Now  about  our  reunion.  On  July  6 
"Pedy"  started  5  tapes  out  to  groups  of

Dr.  Emerson  M.  Heckert  died  August 

30    in    Community    Hospital    at    Sunbury. 

Dr.   Heckert  spent  his   entire  life  in   ser- 

NOVEMBKR     1956 


vice  to  the  people  of  the  Sunbury  area, 
first  as  a  school  teacher  and  for  many 
years  as  a  family  physician.  He  is  sur- 
vived by  two  children.  Jacqueline  and 
Paul  K.  Heckert  '51.  Our  sympathy  is 
extended  to  them. 

Louis  W.  Sipley  has  written  a  bio- 
graphy of  Frederic  E.  Ives  and  has  pre- 
sented a  cop3'  of  the  book  to  the  Ellen 
Clarke  Bertrand  Library. 

Not  a  thing  to  add  to  this  unless  I  begin 
to  brag  about  my  own  family — and  that  I 
can  do.  Layton,  Jr.,  a  second  term  junior 
in  the  School  of  Industrial  and  Labor 
Relations  at  Cornell,  was  the  recipient  of 
a  Kennecott  Copper  Companj-  scholarship, 
based  on  scholastic  abilitj-.  And  Alary 
Elizabeth  spent  the  summer  in  South  Da- 
kota ■with  a  Smithsonian  archaelogical 
party.  She  is  on  the  staff  of  the  Textile 
Museum  in  Washington.  Won't  someone 
please  join  me  in  the  bragging?

CO-OPERATION 

It  ain't   the    individual. 

Nor  the  army  as  a  whole. 
But   the   everlasting   teamwork 

Of    every    bloomin'    soul. 

— J.  Mason  Kno.x. 

The  above  quotation  seemed  so  fitting 
lor  this  particular  issue!  To  date,  I  sent 
18  cards  to  members  of  the  class  BEG- 
GING for  news  and  have  made  12  phone 
calls.  (I  received  one  answer  from  the 
cards;  from  .-Mice  Stokes  Harriman.)  IF 
I  receive  news,  the  time  spent  is  worth 
while  for  I  am  sure  that  there  is  not 
a  member  of  our  '24  class  who  does  not 
like  to  read  about  friends.  How  about 
it?     Let  me  hear   from  you! 

The  Pennsylvania  State  Convention  of 
Baptist  Churches  was  held  in  the  Calvary 
Baptist  Church  in  Norristown,  October 
17th  and  18th.  Rev.  Roland  O.  Hudson, 
813  West  Marshall  Street,  has  been  the 
pastor  of  this  church  for  the  past  eight 
years.  A  large  number  of  men  on  the 
program  were  Bucknell  men  with  Dr. 
Dayton  Ranck  as  the  speaker  at  a  lunch- 
eon for  Bucknellians  held  during  the  con- 
vention. 

.Mr.  and  Mrs.  Robert  Shaffer  (Mildred 
Houseman)  408  Pomcroy  St.,  Ridley  Park. 
are  also  engaged  in  the  teaching  profes- 
sion. "Mid"  is  in  Ridley  Township  junior 
high  and  Bob  is  teaching  and  head  of  the 
mathematics  department  in  Ridley  Park 
high  school. 

Mrs.  Harrison  Taylor  (Florence  Faus), 
177  Biddulph  Road,  Radnor,  was  with 
our  class  but  one  year  and  then  went  on 
to  Ohio  Wesleyan.  However,  while  at 
Bucknell,  she  made  many  friends  and  the 
Bucknellians  in  Philadelphia  are  glad  to 
know  she  makes  her  home  here. 

Mrs.  Joseph  G.  Harriman  ("Alice  Stokes; ,

We  were  sorry  to  learn  of  the  death  of 
Samuel  Philip  Bernhaut,  Esq.  of  Newark, 
N.  J.,  on  February  2,  four  hours  after  he 
suflfered  a  heart  attack  at  the  Essex  Coun-

haut was  an  assistant  corporation  counsel

form  of  government  changed  in  July  1954. 

Born  in  Austria,  Mr.  Bernhaut  was 
brought  to  this  country  in  1913.  He  was 
graduated  from  Newark  Preparatory 
School  in  1924  and  four  years  later  re- 
ceived his  A.B.  degree  from  Bucknell.  He 
attended  Harvard  Law  School  and  was 
graduated  from  Mercer  Beasley  Law 
School  in  1931.  He  was  admitted  to  the 
bar  in  1932. 

He  was  a  gregarious  man  with  many 
personal  friends  and  fraternal  associa- 
tions. He  had  a  deep  interest  in  the  men- 
tally retarded  children.  The  Essex  Unit 
of  the  New  Jersey  Association  for  Re- 
tarded Children  has  established  the  Sam- 
uel P.  Bernhaut  Memorial  Scholarship 
Fund. 

He  leaves  his  wife,  two  sons,  and  two 
daughters  to  whom  sympathy  is  extended.

On  April  20  the  Detroit  Free  Press 
carried  an  interesting  and  unusual  article 
by  Mark  Beltaire  in  his  column,  "The 
Town  Crier,"  concerning  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
George  Johnson  (Edith  Hasselberger  '34) 
of  718  Berkshire  Road,  Grosse  Pointe  30, 
Michigan.  The  article  entitled  "Thank 
You  for  Kindness  Already  Now,"  told  of 
the  Johnsons'  latest  addition  to  their  fam- 
ily, Hermann  Schunck,  of  Detmold,  Ger- 
many. Hermann,  who  is  16,  was  intro- 
duced to  the  Johnsons,  by  proxy,  by  the 
American  Field  Service.  He  will  live  with 
the  Johnsons  for  one  year  and  will  attend 
Grosse  Pointe  University  School.  Judg- 
ing from  a  letter  they  received  from  him 
in  excellent  handwriting,  they  are  sure 
Hermann's  English  will  be  more  than 
adequate,  although  it  is  just  far  enough 
off  the  track  to  hold  a  charm  of  its  own. 
The  Johnsons  have  three  children.  Skip, 
17;  Dickie,  14;  and  Jane,  9. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Lewis  C.  Dayton  (Janet

having  been  born  in  Scotland  in  1863.  His

every  minute  of  it.  She  says  it's  such  fun 
after  being  away  from  it  much  too  long. 

E.  A.  Smith's  residence  is  31  Hardy

in  1952  to  head  the  home  office  of  the  Ac- 
cident and  Health  Department  of  Peerless 
Insurance  Company,  Keene,  N.  H.  In 
1956  he  was  electeil  vice  president  of  the

beauty  of  New  Hampshire  and  that  he 
tried  to  see  Jack  Sherwood  in  Washing-

Jack  was  away  with  VP  Dick  Ni-xon. 

Your  reporter  spent  a  quiet  summer  at

during  the  second  semester  of  1955-56. 
In  May  she  entertained  60  Pi  Phi's  at 
luncheon — patronesses,  alumnae  and  ac-

badminton,  darts,  croquet,  and  archery 
were  enjoyed  on  the  grounds.  She  later 
served  as  their  symposiarch  at  Lewisburg. 
Her  topic:     "The  Flight  of  One  Arrow." 

On  July  26  as  vice  regent  of  the  Fort 
McClure  Chapter  of  the  Daughters  of  the 
American  Revolution,  she  entertained  140 
guests  at  a  summer  card  party  for  the 
benefit  of  a  fund  for  the  renovation  of 
Fort  McClure  Homestead,  a  site  first  set- 
tled in  1774  along  the  Susquehanna.  Mrs. 
Engelhardt's  Revolutionary  ancestor  who 
served  in  the  militia  in  Berks  County  was 
William  Winters,  the  first  settler  of  Wil- 
liamsport,  who  obtained  the  land  from  his 
brother-in-law,  Captain  Hawkins  Boone. 
Boone  was  sent  from  George  Washing-

George  G.  Robinson  MS  '36  has  been 
named  principal  of  the  East  Bank  high 
school,  Chelyan,  W.  Va. 

I'm  sure  we  all  enjoyed  Charles  Gwynn's 
fine  report  of  our  20th  Reunion  in  the 
September  issue  of  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALUMNUS.  How  many  '36ers  were 
you  able  to  identify  in  the  Reunion  pic- 
ture? A  pretty  good-looking  bunch,  don't 
you  agree? 

I  hope  those  of  you  who  were  unable 
to  attend  the  Reunion  availed  yourselves 
of  the  opportunity  to  buy  a  Reunion  Book 
from  Aluinni  Headquarters.  A  few  copies 
are  still  available,  so  hurry  and  send  for 
yours  if  you  have  not  already  done  so. 

This  year's  Freshman  enrollment  indi- 
cates that  the  Class  of  1960  has  one  mem- 
ber whose  father  was  a  member  of  the 
Class  of  1936.  She  is  Deanna  Louise  De- 
odati,  daughter  of  Mario  A.  Deodati,  2204 
W.  Indiana  Ave.,  Philadelphia.  Are  there 
others?  Several  members  of  our  class 
have  children  at  Bucknell  in  upper  classes. 

Please  don't  forget  your  promise  to 
send  in  class  news  for  our  column.

SEPTEMBER  MORN 

Missing:    One  September  column. 

Having  attained  age  30,  feeling  the  chill 
of  the  shady  slope  in  cautious  descent 
thereof,  packing  off  my  elder  daughter  to 
her  first  day  of  kindergarten,  and  sensing" 
in  it  all  the  advent  of  what  my  TV  warns 
may  well  be  "tired  blood" — your  class  re- 
porter royally  goofed  and  did  shoot  quite 
wide  of  the  mailbox,  thereby  in  September 
leaving  you  without  a  '47  report.  As  news- 
stand sales  no  doubt  slumped,  I  was  dis- 
tressingly satisfied  to  note  that  neither  '46 
nor  '48  had  a  line  in  the  issue  either.  To 
each  of  these  worthy  chronicles:  Tsk,  tsk 
and  also  yuk,  yuk. 

Tenth  Reunion  plans,  under  the  circum- 
stances, are  inevitable.  The  cold  light  of 
our  tenth  year  therefore  spreads  as  green 
carpet  leading,  ever  longer,  away  from 
the  300  acres.     May  we  yet  rally. 

Plans  for  our  tenth  reunion  were  sched- 
uled for  a  send-off  at  Homecoming.  In 
the  cards  at  this  time:  A  coinprehensive 
10-year  biographical  report  covering  the 
entire  class  membership,  plus  a  June  get- 
together  on  campus  to  end  all  June  get- 
togethers  on  campus.     Of  this,  more  anon.

gate to  the  Republican  national  conven-

THE 


ALUMNUS 


JANUARY  1957 


Preview  of  Cnarter  Day  Celcnrations  —  I^enriiary,  J  95 7 


A  STATEMENT  FROM  DEAN  RIVENBURG 

I  was  so  impressed  b_v  the  following  "Letter  To  Doris"  that  I  sent  it  to 
Alumni  Secretary  John  Shott.  He  promptly  countered  by  asking  me  to  write  a 
similar  letter  for  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS.  Since  I  could  not  write 
anywhere  near  so  effective  a  letter  and  did  not  want  to  plagiarise  Professor 
Fadner's  ideas  or  language,  I  secured  permission  from  Shurtleff  College  and 
Professor  Fadner  to  reproduce  his  letter  in  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS. 


"A  Letter  To  Doris" 

(An  actual  letter  from  former  Professor 
Frederick  Fadner  of  Shurtleff  College  to  his 
niece,   printed  in   The  Shurtleff  Bulletin). 

"Dear  Doris: 

"I  have  spent  all  my  life  in  education, 
teaching  students  in  high  school,  junior  col- 
lege, and  universities.  As  a  result  I  have 
learned  a  lot  of  things  and  have  come  to 
some  very  positive  convictions.  You  are 
going  to  college  this  fall,  Doris,  zvhich  will 
cost  a  lot  of  money.  You  zvill  either  have 
to  ivork  to  earn  your  own  way,  or  your  par- 
ents will  have  to  pay  part  or  all  of  it,  or  yon 
zvill  have  to  borroiv  money,  or  some  rich 
relative  will  have  to  finance  your  education. 
Hozvcver  yon  get  the  money,  your  education 
must  be  paid  for. 

"Let  us  say  you  have  chosen  a  certain 
college,  though  the  situation  ivonid  be  much 
the  same  in  most  American  colleges.  You 
find  in  the  catalogue  that  tuition  is  $200  a 
semester,  i.  e.  $400  a  year.  If  yon  did  but 
knozv  it  or  zvished  to  investigate,  you  zvould 
find  that  the  college  could  not  give  you  a 
year's  education  for  $400.  It  must  have  $800, 
though  this  proportion  varies  zvitli  colleges. 
This  means  that  the  college  zvill  have  to  hurry 
around  to  get  another  $400  to  match  the 
$400  yon  have  managed  to  pay.  Remember 
that  is  $1600  in  four  years!  TIozu  does  the 
college  get  it? 

"It  gets  the  money  from  interest  on  en- 
dozvmcnt,  from  gifts  and  contributions  from 
various  sources,  from  church  members,  from 
atiunni  funds,  or  zvherever  the  president  can 
get  it.  In  other  zvords  the  college  must  find 
somezvhere  an  outright  gift  of  another  $1600 
zvhich  your  four  years  zvill  cost  quite  aside 
from  the  $1600  you  managed  to  earn,  or  your 
parents  paid,  or  some  person  has  loaned  to 
you.  And  please  get  this:  the  college  zvill 
never  send  you  a  bill  for  that  $1600.   Never! 

The  evidence  is  all  in.  The  arguments  are  overwhelmingly  conclusive.  The 
judgment  of  the  Court  of  our  conscience  is  that  most  of  us  Bucknellians  are 
guilty.  To  bail  ourselves  out  and  clear  our  conscience  there  is  fortunately  an 
honorable  way. 

ROMEYN  H.  RiVENBURG,  '97 

Vice  President  and  Dean  of  the  University  Emeritus 

Daytona  Beach,  Florida 


"Nozv,  Doris,  of  course  you  zvill  thank  your 
father  or  that  zvealthy  friend  for  whatever 
they  are  able  to  do  for  you.  You  may  be 
justly  proud  of  yourself  if  mayhap  yoii  have 
earned  every  cent  of  your  tuition,  the  entire 
$1600,  and  even  your  ozvn  board,  room,  and 
clothing.  Hozvever,  zvhat  about  that  other 
$1600  that  tlie  college  gave  you?  Have  you 
no  obligation  to  pay  back  dollar  for  dollar 
your  indebtedness?  Why  should  the  cliurch 
members,  the  alnmni,  the  various  friends  of 
the  college  gizie  you  $1600  zvithont  even  a 
promissory  note  or  collateral  of  any  kind? 

"What  is  your  duty  to  these  benefactors 
zvho  have  made  it  possible  for  you  to  get  your 
education  at  half  price?  The  anszver  is  to 
do  the  very  best  you  can  to  justify  the  faith 
tliat  others  have  placed  in  you.  If  you  fail, 
you  have  let  them  dozvn.  Tliey  had  tJie  faith 
in  you  zvhen  you  zvere  accepted  and  regis- 
tered as  a  student  of  the  college  tliat  you 
zvould  make  good.  If  you  fail  in  a  single 
course,  aside  from  some  legitimate  reason, 
you  have  accepted  money  and  failed  to  deliver 
the  goods.  The  Greeks  may  have  had  an- 
other name  for  it,  but  in  English  embe:::de- 
nient  is  the  nearest  I  can  come  to  it.  It's 
a  bad  zvord!  You  zvill  not  be  prosecuted, 
but  you  should  be!  Yon  should  be  sentenced 
to  pay  double  for  it  and  then  get  out.  You 
zvere  a  poor  investment.  It  is  just  not  fair 
to  that  zvidozv  in  that  congregation,  zvho  in 
response  to  an  appeal  for  funds  to  help  the 
college,  silently  but  zvitlingly  put  her  mite 
into  the  contribution  box.  It  is  not  fair  to 
the  hundreds  of  other  friend.'!,  rich  and  poor 
alike,  zvho  have  tJirough  the  years  built  up 
the  institution  that  you  might  liave  a  college 
education.  Emerson  said,  'He  is  base,  and 
that  is  the  one  base  thing  in  the  universe,  to 
receive  favors  and  render  none.'

We  are  happy  to  report  that  a  number  of 
Bucknellians  reported  as  7-year  givers  to 
the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  in  the  November, 
1956,  issue  of  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUM- 
NUS are  really  charter  (or  8-year)  donors 
to  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund.  In  most  of 
these  cases,  gifts  made  during  the  heating 
plant  campaign  of  1948  were  not  properly 
recorded  on  the  Alumni  giving  records. 
Perhaps  there  are  others ;  anyone  who  made 
a  gift  to  the  heating  plant  campaign  should 
have  been  credited  automatically  with  a  gift 
to  the  Alumni  Fund  in  its  first  year,  1948- 
1949.     If  you  are  one  of  these  donors,  please 

2  '■ 


advise  Alumni  Headquarters  so  that  your 
record  of  giving  may  be  corrected.  Among 
those  who  were  reported  as  7-year  givers 
in  the  November  issue  but  are  really  con- 
tinuous 8-year  donors  are  Edgar  A.  Snyder 
'11,  Bruce  E.  Butt  '16,  Lester  E.  Lighton

Matthews  Miers  '26,  and  T.  Jefferson  Miers 
'26. 

In  the  list  of  Class  of  1926  donors  the 
entry  Charles  J.  Kushell  should  read  Mrs. 
Isabelle  Morrison  Kushell.  Mr.  Kushell  is 
properly  recorded  in  his  Class  of  1927.

BUCKNELL  SELF-STUDY  GATHERS  MOMENTUM 

by  William  H.  Coleman,  Vice  President  and  Secretary  of  The  BuckneU  Study 


'T'HE  Bucknell  Study,  recommended  by 
-'-  President  Odgers  and  authorized  by  the 
Board  of  Trustees,  has  three  major  purposes. 
The  first  is  to  re-evaluate  our  curricula  with 
special  attention  to  the  need  for  general  and 
concentration  programs  for  all  students,  as 
well  as  a  special  program  for  superior  stu- 
dents. The  hope  is  that  all  curricula  can  be 
enriched  and  broadened  to  assure  the  fullest 
development  of  the  individual. 

'T'HE  second  purpose  is  to  study  the  Buck- 
-l-  nell  student  body  in  terms  of  its  origins 
and  recruitment,  its  scholastic  performance 
and  extracurricular  activities,  as  a  means  of 
securing  men  and  women  of  the  highest 
quality,  and  of  making  effective  use  of  all 
resources  of  the  University  to  create  an 
atmosphere  favorable  to  learning  The  third 
purpose  is  to  study  the  faculty  as  a  body  of 
teachers  and  scholars,  to  determine  its  proper 
composition  and  functions,  and  to  outline 
the  conditions  under  which  it  can  contribute 
most  effectively  to  the  educational  growth  of 
the  laniversity.  While  reviews  of  our  aca- 
demic situation  have  occurred  from  time  to 
time,  no  such  comprehensive  self-examination 
as  the  Bucknell  Study  envisions  has  ever 
been  projected.  Covering  a  period  of  ap- 
proximately two  years  and  broadly  based,  it 
should  serve  as  an  academic  blueprint  for 
the  future. 

'T^HE  groundwork  has  been  carefully  laid. 
-L  Last  spring  the  faculty  approved  almost 
unanimously  the  statement  of  objectives  as 
drawn  up  by  the  Core  Committee,  comprised 
of  Professors  Gladys  E.  Cook,  F.  David 
Martin,  William  I.  Miller,  Manning  A. 
Smith,  and  C.  Willard  Smith,  the  members 
of  which  committee  were  appointed  by  the 
President  on  the  basis  of  a  faculty  poll.  The 
statement  of  objectives,  which  will  serve  as 
a  guide  for  the  study,  follows : 

Bucknell  University  is  committed  in  the 
Christian  tradition  to  provide  the  means  and 
opportunity  jor  the  intellectual  development 
of  students  of  qualified  preparation  and  char- 
acter to  the  end  that  they  may  become  ma- 
ture and  responsible  members  of  society. 

Bucknell  endeavors  to  impart  to  the  stu- 
dent the  principles  of  inherited  knowledge 
and  culture  and  to  bring  the  student  to  an 
awareness  of  his  ozvn  talent.  As  a  center  of 
independent  thought  Bucknell  is  dedicated  to 
the  cause  of  free  and  responsible  inquiry  and 
to  the  seeking  of  truth  wherever  it  may  be 
found. 

nPHE  above  statement,  broken  flown  into  its 
-^  component  parts,  asserts  that  Bucknell 
is  an  institution  CI)  in  the  Christian  tradi- 
tion, (2)  in  the  tradition  of  the  liberal  arts 
and  sciences;  interested  C3)  in  qualified 
students  seeking  intellectual  development,  (4) 
in  providing  such  students  with  the  means 
and  opfKjrtunity  of  becoming  responsible 
members  of  society,  (5)  in  providing  the 
student  with  a  Ixjdy  of  knowledge  and  cul- 
ture that  will  sharpen  awareness  of  his  own 
talent,  and  (6)  in  creating  an  atmosphere 
of  independent  thought,  free  and  responsible 
inquiry,  which  will  foster  a  desire  to  seek 
the  truth  under  any  and  all  conditions. 

'C'.'XKLV  in  the  present  sctncstcr  President 
-^  Odgcrj  appointed  a  general  advisory 
cominittec  cotnposcd  of   fl)    fifteen  faculty

The  Committee  on  Student  Body  of  The  Bucknell  Study  at  a  recent  session.  Pici-ured 
are:  (I.  to  r.)  Dr.  William  H.  Coleman,  Dean  Karl  D.  Hartzell,  Dr.  M.  Martin,  Dr.  William 
I.  Miller,  Asst.  Registrar  Fitz  R.  Walling,  Dr.  J.  Charles  Jones,  Or.  William  J.  Carr,  Dr. 
James  A.  Gathings,  and  Dean  Mary  Jane  Stevenson. 


members :  Professors  Gladys  E.  Cook,  Mark 
C.  Ebersole,  Harry  R.  Garvin,  James  A. 
Gathings,  Dalzell  M.  Griffith,  Russell  A. 
Headley,  J.  Charles  Jones,  Octave  Leven- 
spiel,  Hulda  Magalhaes,  F.  David  Martin, 
Harold  W.  Miller,  William  I.  Miller,  C. 
Willard  Smith,  Manning  A.  Smith,  and 
Wendell  I.  Smith;  (2)  five  members  of  the 
administrative  staff :  Dean  Karl  D.  Hart- 
zell, Dean  John  C.  Hayward,  Mr.  John  F. 
Zeller,  Assistant  to  the  President ;  Dr.  Wil- 
liam H.  Coleman,  Secretary  of  the  Study, 
and  President  Merle  M.  Odgers,  who  acts 
as  chairman;  (3)  three  off-campus  members, 
all  alumni  of  the  University :  Dr.  Arthur  L. 
Brandon  MA'27,  Director  of  Public  Rela- 
tions, University  of  Michigan ;  Dr.  Evan  W. 
Ingram  '20,  Associate  Superintendent  of 
Schools,  Pittsburgh ;  and  Dr.  Robert  W. 
Streeter  '38,  Dean  of  the  College,  Univer- 
sity of  Chicago.  .'Kt  a  later  date  we  might 
bring  to  the  campus  other  eminent  educators 
to  meet  with  the  committees,  faculty,  and 
administrative  groups. 

T^HE  General  Advisory  Committee  per- 
-L  forms  a  twofold  function  :  to  advise  the 
President  initially  with  regard  to  the  proper 
areas  of  study,  and  subsequently  with  respect 
to  the  conduct  of  the  study  and  the  imple- 
menting of  its  recommendations.  An  execu- 
tive committee,  composed  of  selected  mem- 
bers of  the  General  Committee,  with  Dean 
Hartzell  as  chairman,  will  co-ordinate  the 
processes  of  the  study  and  screen  all  major 
recommendations  to  be  submitted  through 
the  President  to  the  appropriate  bodies 
(■faculty,  trustees,  and  administrative  offi- 
cers). 

T^O  date  the  General  Committee  has  met 
-'-  twice,  and  as  a  result  of  its  deliberations, 
recommended  that  the  Bucknell  Study  be 
orgarn'zed  around  three  i)rincipal  commit  lees 
on  (a)  the  student  body,  (b)  tlie  curriculum, 
and  (c)  the  faculty.  The  following  per.sons 
have  consented  to  serve  on  these  major 
comiTiiftees : 

COMMITTEE  ON  STUDENT  BODY: 
I'rnfrssors  Carr,  Cnlhinr/s,  J.  C.  Jones.  M . 
Martin,    W.    I.    Miller,    Dean    Stevenson. 
Mr.     IValling,    /IssislanI     Regi.'.lrdr,    and 
Dciin  llayicard  (Consultant). 

COMMITTEE  ON  CURRICULUM: 
I'rnfcssiirs   G.   E.   Cook,   Carivin,   Griffith, 
llnullev,  I..  Kicft,  P.  IK  Mar  tin.  and  IV. 
K.  Smith. 

COMMITTEE:  ON  FACULTY: 
Prnfessor.t  Rber.wlc,  Gnnsales,  Magalhaes, 


Merritt,  H.  IV.  Miller,  M.  A.  Smith,  and 
C.  W.  Smith  (Consultant). 

The  function  of  the  Committee  on  the 
Student  Body  will  be  to  determine  from  data 
in  the  college  offices,  questionnaires,  and 
other  means  the  major  characteristics,  or- 
ganization and  activities  of  the  Bucknell 
student  body  to  determine  what  changes,  if 
any,  are  desirable  in  the  present  situation, 
and  to  determine  the  quality  of  the  finished 
product  (our  graduates),  and  how  it  may 
be  improved. 

T^HE  function  of  the  Committee  on  the 
-'-  Curriculum  will  be  to  examine  what  is 
being  taught,  how  it  is  being  taught,  and  the 
relevance  of  the  material  presented  in  the 
classroom  to  the  needs  of  individual  students, 
and  the  requirements  of  our  modern  culture. 
It  is  hoped  that  the  goals  of  the  University 
will  be  reflected  in  the  knowledge,  judg- 
ments, and  developed  abilities  of  its  gradu- 
ates. 

rPHE  function  of  the  Committee  on  the 
-'-  Faculty  will  be  to  appraise  our  faculty  in 
terms  of  its  quality,  recruitment,  functions, 
and  conditions  of  work.  From  this  examina- 
tion, we  hope,  will  come  greater  insight  into 
just  what  it  is  that  makes  a  great  faculty, 
and  a  deeper  appreciation  of  the  contribu- 
tions of  the  faculty  to  the  educational  stature 
of  the  University. 

'T'HE  Secretary  of  the  Bucknell  Study  will 
-'-  serve  cx-ofiicio  as  secretary  of  all  com- 
mittees, will  be  responsible  for  the  prepara- 
tion of  working  drafts,  the  collation  of  in- 
formation essential  to  their  deliberations,  and 
will  provide  through  the  services  of  his 
office  a  general  clearing  house  for  all  aspects 
of  the  study. 

OBVIOUSLY,  any  comprehensive  self- 
study  will  mean  an  investment  of  time, 
thought,  and  energy  on  the  part  of  all  those 
persons  involved,  but  the  end-result  should 
mean  a  raising  of  our  academic  sights  and 
more  favorable  working;  condilioiis  for  all 
|i;irties  CDiiccnied.  In  this  process  it  is  hoperl 
that  oiu'  basic  policies,  academically  speak- 
ing, will  be  re-ex.'imincd  and  cxplicilly  st.-iled. 
They  should  be  fund.-imeiilally  .sound.  They 
slionid  111'  comprehensive,  coherent  and  co- 
ordinalcd,  rind  Ihonnigh-going  inqilemcnta- 
tion  should  follow.  The  linckiiell  .Stndy  can 
be  an  impr)il;ml  milesloiic  in  llic  history  of 
the  Uiiiversily.  If  the  University's  stature 
as  an  educalioMal  inslitnlion  can  keep  pace 
with  its  ;imaziiig  physicial  e.\p;iiision,  Bnck- 
iicll  gradu;ites  everywhere  will  feel  a  new 
loyalty  and  a  new  sense  of  pride  in  their 
AIniii  Mater.

HARRY  O.  DAYHOFF  '23 

SO  LONG 

The  time  lias  come  for  me  to  retire 
Even  tliough  it  is  not  my  desire. 
At  55,  so  I  am  told. 

■'Get  out  cf  here,  you're  too  damn  old." 
.\I1  ofBc:als  are  very  tense. 
But  this  is  the  time  to  liave  good  sense. 
One  more  year,  you  get  a  reprieve, 
Malie  room  for  Tom,  Dicl<  and  Steve. 
May  God  Bles.s  you  all  this  Fall. 
When  you're  in  that  great  game,  called  Football. 
—Harry  O.  Dayhoff  '23 

On  September  1,  1956,  Harry  "Gump" 
Dayhoff  2i  hung  up  his  football  shoes  and 
brought  to  an  end  30  glorious  years  of  inter- 
collegiate football  otificiating. 

Harry,  over  this  period  of  time,  has  seen 
many  great  football  players  and  has  worked 
the  best  games  all  over  the  nation.  Army- 
Navy ;  Michigan-Pennsylvania;  Michigan 
State-Syracuse;  Tulane-Boston  College; 
Miami-Pittsburgh ;  Yale-Harvard ;  Prince- 
ton-Dartmouth ;  Boston  College-Holy  Cross, 
five  years  in  succession  ;  Michigan-Columbia  ; 
Navy-Notre  Dame  ;  Army-Duke  ;  P  e  n  n 
State- Pittsburgh  are  only  a  few  of  the  many 
games  he  has  worked. 

Harry  was  born  in  Gettysburg  at  the  turn 
of  the  century  and  later  moved  to  Steelton 
where  he  got  his  first  taste  of  football.  Star- 
ring in  track  and  football  at  Steelton  high 
school,  Harry  graduated  in  1917  not  know- 
ing that  football  was  to  be  an  active  part  in 
his  life  for  years  and  years  to  come.  Follow- 
ing high  scliool  graduation  Harry  served 
with  the  United  States  Navy,  and  upon  dis- 
charge entered  Bucknell  as  a  freshman  on 
September  IS,  1919. 

At  Bucknell  Harry  earned  four  varsity 
lette'/s  in  football,  basketball,  and  track. 
According"  to  Harry,  "The  four  best  years 
of  my  life  were  spent  in  Lewisburg,"  and 
"may  I  say  that  I  owe  everything  to  Buck- 
nell University  for  any  success  which  I  have 
enjoyed  over  the  years." 

Leaving  college  Harry  played  professional 
football  in  the  National  League  with  Phila- 
delphia in  1923  and  1924.  In  1925  Harry 
was  sold  to  the  Pottsville  Maroons  where 
he  received  injuries  that  forced  his  retire- 
ment from  active  play.  But  football  was 
Harry's  life,  and  injury  or  no  injury  Harry 
was  determined  to  stay  with  the  game.  So, 
in  1926  he  entered  the  Eastern  Intercol- 
legiate Association  as  a  football  official. 
Here  Harry  remained  for  30  long  years  vi'ith 
the  game  he  loved.  During  these  happy 
years  Harry  was  instrumental  in  getting 
more  then  150  deserving"  boys  a  college 
education  on  their  ability  to  play  football.

Morris  D.  Hooven  '20 
Wins  New  Honor 

The  nation's  new  and  prospective  engi- 
neers were  called  by  Morris  D.  Hooven  '20, 
engineering  executive  at  Public  Service  Gas 
and  Electric  Co.,  Newark,  N.  J.,  to  prepare 
themselves  adequately  for  assuming  tomor- 
row's "intellectual  leadership"  and  to  con- 
quer the  world's  new  frontiers  at  the  engi- 
neers' convocation  at  the  University  of  Rhode 
Island  on  November  3,  1956. 

Mr.  Hooven  of  the  Class  of  1920  and  a 
past  president  of  the  American  Institute  of 
Electrical  Engineers  has  long  been  concerned 
with  the  problem  of  properly  preparing  engi- 
neers for  the  future  tasks  which  face  them. 
.\s  principal  speaker  at  the  convocation,  Mr. 
Hooven  stated  that  a  comprehensive  educa- 
tion for  engineers  "no  portion  of  which 
whether  it  be  in  the  arts,  sciences,  or  tech- 
nology, should  be  neglected.  The  engineer 
of  tomorrow  must  be  a  man  of  broad  educa- 
tion and  deep  culture,  capable  of  leading  his 
people  beyond  the  frontiers  of  his  day." 

The  engineer  was  urged  by  Mr.  Hooven  to 
take  a  more  active  interest  in  the  practical 
problems  of  his  community  as  further  prep- 
aration for  assuming  tomorrow's  leadership. 
"The  real  question  which  the  engineers  must 
answer,"  he  said,  "is  whether  or  not  we  (the 
engineers)  are  meeting  the  problems  of  the 
community." 

This  urge  to  participate  in  community 
affairs,  Mr.  Hooven  observed,  may  come 
more  naturally  if  the  engineer  of  tomorrow 
should  turn  out  to  be,  in  many  cases,  a  wo- 
mai"i.  "The  time  must  come  when  womanly 
grace  and  intuition  will  be  added  to  the 
(engineering)    profession." 

Morris  has  recently  been  elected  president 
of  the  Engineers  Council  for  Professional 
Development,  and  is  listed  in  "Who's  Who 
in  America."

organized  the  first  placement  bureau  and 
was  active  in  the  organization  of  the  Friends 
of  the  Library  and  the  visiting  engineering 
committee.  He  earned  his  A.B.  in  1931  and 
his  A.M.  in  1932  at  Bucknell.  In  1938  New 
York  University  awarded  him  the  degree  of 
doctor  of  philosophy. 

Married  to  the  former  Julia  Furst,  the 
Morris  family  now  has  two  children,  Johtmy, 
15  and  Linda,  17,  who  are  both  students  at 
George  School  in  Newtown. 

Congratulations  to  Charlie  who  is  enjoy- 
ing" a  distinguished  career  in  psychology 
after  having"  served  his  Alma  Mater  in  an 
outstanding  manner  as  an  administrator.

From  "deep  in  the  heart  of  Texas"  comes 
some  interesting  sports  news  concerning  Dr. 
Fred  L.  Englerth  '3Z  of  Harlingen,  Texas 
and  an  unusual  type  of  golf  tournament. 
Four  years  ago  Fred,  who  is  a  well-known

golf  enthusiasts  evolved  the  idea  of  a  "Life 
Begins  At  Forty  Golf  Tournament"  which 
has  become  an  annual  afTair  and  attracts 
leading  golfers  from  all  over  the  United 
StatesT 

Tennis  was  Fred's  first  love,  but  after  a 
shoulder  injury  several  years  ago,  he  had  to 
give  it  up  and  found  that  golf  was  an  excel- 
Fent  substitute.  While  at  Bucknell  he  was  a 
member  of  the  Varsity  tennis  team  for  three 
years  and  earned  his  "B"  in  that  sport. 

On  the  golf  course  Fred  stands  out  like 
a  bird  of  paradise  in  a  hen  yard.  He  main- 
tains that  golf  is  one  sport  one  can  play 
without  looking  like  Yogi  Berra  after  a  close 
one  at  the  plate.  He  dazzles  the  gallery 
with  his  brilliant  and  varied  dress.  He  is 
partial  to  knickerbockers  (Sarazen  style) 
on  the  golf  course  and  has  them  made  to 
order.  Nor  is  he  content  with  just  plain 
knickers.  They  are  embroidered  across  the 
hip  pocket  with  golfing  scenes.  It  is  _  a 
matter  of  statistics  that  he  has  seven  pairs 
of  shoes,  five  golf  bags,  shirts,  hats  and 
gloves  to  go  witli  them.  Like  love,  Fred  is 
"a  many-splendored  thing."  He  is  not  mere- 
ly a  bird  of  brilliant  plumage,  but  an  expert 
golfer.  He  missed  last  year's  championship 
flight  by  only  one  stroke. 

In  addition  to  his  golfing  and  his  medical 
practice,  Fred  finds  time  to  serve  as  chair- 
man of  a  PT.A  cooperative  study  committee 
on  "Teaching  the  Language  Arts"  and  is 
active  in  the  Rio  Grande  Valley  and  Har- 
lingen Chambers  of  Conmierce.  He  also 
serves  in  many  civic  and  religious  organiza- 
tions. He  says  golf  is  his  only  recreational 
outlet.

.And  now  with  a  golden  pass,  presented 
to  him  by  the  Eastern  Intercollegiate  Asso- 
ciation, in  his  pocket  Harry  will  follow  the 
sport  that  is  so  much  a  part  of  him,  not  as 
.  a  participant,  but  as  a  spectator  that  can  be 
proud  of  his  contribution  to  the  youth  of 
America.

GiNNY  Emmitt  '59 


HERE  I  am  back  at  school  with  memories 
of  vacation  fun — going  to  parties,  eating 
good  food,  seeing  old  friends,  reuniting  with 
the  family.  There  is  no  doubt  that  vacation 
was  great,  but  my  memories  go  back  even 
farther,  they  go  back  to  a  successful  first 
semester  tilled  with  interesting,  funny,  and 
important  events. 

When  we  first  got  here  in  September,  the 
big  news  was  the  swimming  pool.  Everyone 
was  talking  and  raving  about  it.  And  it  is 
worth  talking  and  raving  about.  Mr.  Freas 
and  Mr.  Rooke  succeeded  "in  bringing  the 
Jersey  shore  to  Bucknell."  Now  we  have 
ever\-thing  except  a  few  things  like  a  chapel 
and  a  permanent  social  science  building.  But 
I'm  sure  they're  on  the  way — eventually. 
The  pool  brought  with  it  some  changes  and 
additions  in  the  schedule  of  events.  Swim- 
ming classes  were  added  to  the  male  and 
female  gym  program.  The  pool  is  also  be- 
ing used  for  intramural  and  varsity  sports, 
rhythmic  swimming,  and  general  fun.  Tlie 
newest  thing  in  Friday  night  activity  is  to 
take  your  girl   swimming. 

The  ne.xt  thing  that  I  noticed  was  the 
many  cars  parked  all  around  in  the  places 
made  legal  for  parking.  .A  lot  of  juniors 
are  taking  advantage  of  the  new  ruling  that 
allows  both  juniors  and  seniors  to  have  cars 
after  paying  a  $20  registration  fee.  Tliere 
are  scattered  rumors  about  sophomores  hav- 
ing them  next  year — the  class  of  '60  is  keep- 
ing its  fingers  crossed.  Something  else  new 
in  the  way  of  rulings  is  the  return  to  the 
1949  regulation  on  drinking,  giving  students 
greater  responsibility. 

Hilltop,  the  free  Friday  night  movie  in 
V'aughan  Lit  .Auditorium,  has  had  a  good 
schedule  of  shows — "Red  Shoes,"  "Hamlet," 
and  two  pictures  starring  .Alec  Guiness  were 
outstanding.  The  list  for  the  rest  of  this 
semester  looks  equally  as  entertaining. 

Still  in  the  arts  vein,  the  Artist  Series  has 
planned  an  excellent  schedule  for  the  year, 
starting  with  "Men  of  Song,"  a  quartet  that 
entertained  parents  and  students  Dad's  Day 
Weekend.  Xext  was  the  well-received 
(llano  concert  by  Leonard  Pennario.  He 
pleased  all  tastes  by  playing  Beethoven  to 
Debussy  and  then  for  one  of  his  encores 
playing  his  own  work,  the  theme  of  the  new 
movie,  "Julie."  Everyone  is  looking  forward 
to  the  third  program — a  full  symphonic 
orchestra  coming  the  beginning  of  the  .sec- 
ond semester. 

The  first  big  dance  of  the  year  was  the 
annual  \.  F.  C.-I'anhcll  dance  with  "The 
Commanders"  as  the  orchestra.  For  the 
ire-ihmcn  -  the  first  college  formal  is  always 
a  thrill,  and  for  the  upperclassmen — it  was 
great  even  though  some  of  the  newness  hacl 
worn  off.  I'lanning,  riecorating,  anrl  then 
finally  attenrjing  is  always  fun. 

The  "3fXl  acres"  i.sn't  completely  divorced 
from  the  rest  of  the  world.  The  campus 
was  very  much  interested  in  the  past  elec- 
tion camiKtign.  Prof.  Hollistcr's  class  in 
IKilitiral  (Kirties  tofjk  an  active  part  by  cam- 
liaigMiriK  on  campus  and  assisting  the  party 
leaders  in  the  local  area.  The  night  of  the 
election,  they  staged  a  imrly  in  the  gym 
»niicx  with  a  television  .set  bringing  in  the 
latest  reports.  And  the  girls  were  allowed

Tribune,  published  a  special  "Eisenhower 
Landslide"  issue  the  Wednesday  after  Elec- 
tion Day.  To  do  it  they  stayed  up  all  night 
— it  was  hectic,  but  fun. 

Internationally,  the  students  are  acutely 
aware  of  the  situation  in  Hungary.  In 
many  ways  we  are  trying  to  show  our 
sympathies  and  to  do  something  concrete  to 
help.  C-A.  sponsored  a  campus  and  town 
drive  for  clothes.  WL^S  is  considering  using 
one  of  its  scholarships  for  a  Hungarian 
student  to  come  to  Bucknell.  In  addition  a 
"poverty  meal,"  of  cabbage  and  bread — to 
typify  what  the  Hungarians  are  faced  with-- 
was  served  in  all  the  dining  halls  and  fra- 
ternity houses.  The  money  saved  ( $450 
from  the  university  plus  fraternity  funds) 
was  used  for  Hungarian  relief.  In  addition 
to  parties  and  dances,  we  do  think  about 
other  things. 

Fall  is  never  complete  without  football 
games.  Our  season  wasn't  too  good  but  the 
squad  fought  all  the  way.  Like  tlie  Dodgers, 
we'll  "wait  'til  next  year." 

Right  now  plans  for  the  annual  Newsman's 
Conference  are  just  about  completed.  It  is 
again  scheduled  for  the  first  week  in  Febru- 
ary. Alany  prominant  journalists  have  ac- 
cepted invitations  to  speak  and  lead  discus- 
sion groups.  This  conference,  with  the  theme 
of  "E.xplosions  in  the  Making,"  ought  to  be 
a  timel}'  one  because  of  the  present  inter- 
national  disturbances. 


Because  of  the  success  of  last  year's  jazz 
concert,  MSA  again  sponsored  one  this  year 
with  Phineas  Newborn's  Quartet  and  the 
Pied  5  starring.  It  didn't  matter  if  we 
couldn't  dance  because  the  performers  were 
so  entertaining.  Sometimes  it's  more  fun 
to  watch  than  to  participate. 

From  what  I've  said  so  far,  it  seems  as  if 
the  semester  was  all  fun.  Although  this  is 
partially  true,  it  isn't  completely  so.  A 
minor  disturbance  to  normal  routine  was  a 
flash  flood  that  broke  a  few  main  water 
pipes.  We  never  knew  how  much  we  de- 
pended on  that  little  formula.  H=0.  Every- 
one had  to  eat  on  paper  plates  because  there 
v\'asn't  water  to  wash  dishes,  diet's  did  a 
thriving  business  with  Clorets  because  no 
one  could  brush  his  teeth.  After  a  day  and 
a  half  of  inconvenience  from  no  water,  it 
was  returned  to  the  Sem,  but  not  to  the 
hill  because  of  low  pressure.  The  poor  guys. 
.After  another  day.  they  decided  the  situa- 
tion was  a  wonderful  excuse  for  a  parade. 
So,  en  masse,  they  trouped  down  the  hill 
chanting.  "We  Want  Water!"  (This  is 
quite  a  switch  from  the  chant  two  years 
ago — we  want  BEER.)  They  were  agitatnig 
to  close  school  for  the  rest  of  the  week,  but 
to  no  avail.  They  got  water  the  next  day. 
and  everything  smelled  normal  again. 

.Another  campus-rocking  disturbance  was 
the  discussion  over  the  racial  inferences  of 
minstrel  shows.  It  was  claimed,  with  some

LONG  ISLAND  —  On  Friday  evening, 
September  7th,  the  Bucknell  Club  of  Long

ception at  the  Community  Church  in  East 
Williston.  Some  175  freshmen  and  their

activities  at  Bucknell.  The  opportunity 
provided  for  the  panel  members  to  an- 
swer many  of  the  questions  of  the  fresh- 
men and  their  parents  was  well  taken. 
Much  helpful  information  was  supplied  to 
these  new  members  of  the  Bucknell  Fam- 
ily. 

After  the  discussion  period,  refresh- 
ments were  served.  Everyone  enjoyed 
this  opportunity  to  become  better  ac- 
quainted.

ROCHESTER— A  preview  of  college  life 
was  given  to  the  thirteen  freshmen  enter- 
ing Bucknell  in  September  from  the  Roch- 
ester area.  They  were  guests  of  honor 
at  a  reception  held  on  September  9  at 
the  home  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Warren  Lewis. 
The  reception  invitations  were  issued  by 
William  Z.  Huff  '47,  president  of  the 
Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of  Rochester. 

TRENTON— The  annual  reception  for 
freshmen  and  their  parents  was  held  at 
the  country  home  of  the  Joe  Quick's  on 
Sunday,  September  9,  with  approximate- 
ly ISO  freshmen,  alumni,  parents,  and 
friends   in   attendance.

As  always,  the  Quick's  ample  acres  pro- 
vided a  splendid  background  for  the  en- 
tertainment of  the  guests.  Horseback 
riding,  carriage  rides,  archery,  baseball, 
croquet,  etc.  built  up  the  super  appetites 
that  were  brought  to  the  picnic  dinner. 

This  largest  and  best  of  the  annual 
freshman  receptions  demonstrated  again 
that  the  Quick's  country  home  is  an  ever 
more  pleasant  gathering  place  for  Buck- 
nellians  in  the  Trenton  Club  Area. 

WEST  VIRGINIA— The  Bucknell  Alum- 
ni Club  of  West  Virginia  enjoyed  a  most 
delightful  dinner  and  a  very  pleasant 
evening  at  the  home  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Jesse  Riley  at  Pruntytown.  on  Saturday, 
October  6. 

There  were  fifteen  present  including  the 
children.  Most  families  were  from  the 
northern  part  of  the  state. 

Future  meetings  were  left  to  the  dis- 
cretion of  the  president  with  discussion 
pointing  to  a  late  spring  or  early  summer 
1957  meeting  at  some  north-central  West 
Virginia   location. 


WILMINGTON— On  Saturday,  October 
13,  a  small  but  enthusiastic  group  from 
Wilmington  met  at  Boines  Restaurant  for 
lunch  before  journeying  to  the  Bucknell- 
Delaware  football  game.  After  a  very 
nice  luncheon,  during  which  Bruce  Rossi- 
ter,  assistant  alumni  secretary,  and  Mrs. 
Rossiter  from  Lewisburg  gave  us  a  res- 
ume of  the  latest  news  from  the  campus, 
we  proceeded  on  to  the  U  of-  D  and  the 
game.  I  think  all  of  us  will  agree  that 
the  highlight  of  the  afternoon  was  the 
Bison  band  in  their  new  uniforms.  'Nuf 
said  about  the  game! 

May  I  take  this  time  to  invite,  in  fact 
urge,  any  and  all  of  the  Bucknell  alumni 
in  the  area  to  be  with  us  the  next  time 
your  Wilmington  club  meets.  You  will 
see  some  old  friends!  Watch  for  the  an- 
nouncement in  this  column.

YORK  —  An  executive  council  meeting 
was  held  June  19  with  eleven  members 
present.  The  purpose  of  the  meeting 
was  to  plan  activities  for  the  next  nine 
months. 

Forty  Alumni  and  guests  attended  our 
annual  picnic  on  July  14,  at  Marlyn  Etz- 
weiler's  '27  summer  home  located  at  Long 
Level  on  the  Susquehanna  River.  A  ca- 
tered picnic  supper  was  served  and  eve- 
ryone had  a  most  enjoyable  time. 

The  next  club  affair,  a  freshmen  recep- 
tion and  swimming  party,  held  on  August 
25,  was  attended  by  twenty-eight  persons. 


The  three  freshmen  from  this  district  and 
their  parents  were  guests  of  the  club  at 
this  event,  which  was  held  at  the  home 
of  our  club  president  Levere  M.  Leese 
'34,  1124  Hollywood  Terrace,  York.  Two 
Bucknell  students,  Jon  Minnich  '57  and 
Miss  Josephine  Ruff  '58  talked  about 
campus  life  to  the  new  students. 

Forty-one  Bucknellians  and  friends  at- 
tended the  Bucknell-Gettysburg  football 
game,  as  a  group,  in  Hershey,  Pennsyl- 
vania, on  September  29.  Transportation 
for  twenty-six  of  these  was  provided  by  a 
chartered  bus.  The  group  enjoyed  a  fine 
dinner  at  the  Community  Inn,  Hershey, 
prior  to  the  game.  We  feel  this  is  one 
way  to  get  the  club  members  and  their 
families    better    acquainted. 

On  November  23,  our  club  held  a  suc- 
cessful Holiday  Dance  for  Bucknellians 
and  friends  at  the  Outdoor  Country  Club, 
York,    Pennsylvania. 

Plans  are  now  being  formulated  for  our 
annual  banquet  to  be  held  on  February  2, 
at  the  Triangle  Restaurant,  near  York. 
Our  guest  speaker  from  the  campus  will 
be    Prof.    Anthony    A.    Krzywicki.

able  to  attend  the  game  had  excellent 
seats,  thanks  to  our  good  friend  Art 
Brandon.  We  were  treated  to  a  thrilling 
football  game  in  which  Michigan  defeated 
Illinois  17  to  7.  The  University  of  Michi- 
gan had  a  real  team  this  year! 

After  the  game,  twenty-nine  Bucknel- 
nians  and  friends  held  a  very  enjoyable 
social  gathering  and  supper  at  the  home 
of  the  Art  Brandons  in  Ann  Arbor.  The 
get-together  brought  back  fond  memories 
of  past  year's  moments  of  fun  after  the 
"big  game." 

It  was  decided  that  the  present  officers 

of    the     Michigan-Toledo     Club    continue 

in    office    until    next   year.      Many   of   the

Dr.  Jacobs  Begins  Research 
Program 

Why  do  we  sometimes  crave  sweets?  To 
find  the  answer,  Dr.  Harry  L.  Jacobs,  assis- 
tant professor  in  psychology  at  Bucknell 
University,  has  begun  a  two-year  research 
program  with  a  grant  of  $4500  from  the 
\ational   Science  Foundation. 

To  study  the  factors  which  operate  in 
man's  hunger  for  sugar.  Dr.  Jacobs  will 
extend  the  research  which  he  originally  be- 
gan under  a  grant  from  the  .American  Philo- 
sophical Society  of  Philadelphia. 

During  the  [Ki.st  summer,  he  spent  several 
weeks  at  Cornell  University  and  at  Johns 
Hopkins  Hospital  for  preliminary  study  and 
consultation  with  other  researchers  inter- 
ested in  the  problems  relevant  to  the  "sweet 
tooth." 

His  laUjratory  work  nearly  completed, 
Dr.  Jacobs  will  shortly  begin  his  experi- 
ments, using  rats,  chickens,  and  humans  as 
his  subjects.  Two  Bucknell  students,  Mi.ss 
Virginia  Davis,  a  biology  major  from  Dan- 
ville, and  Jfjcl  lesser,  a  psychology  sliirlent 
from  Wooflmcrc,  N.  Y„  have  been  appointed 
research  assistants  for  this  project.

MISS  BEATRICE  GONZALEZ 

Aliss  Beatrice  Gonzalez,  associate  profes- 
sor of  Spanish,  has  been  awarded  the  degree 
of  doctor  of  philosophy  by  Salamanca  Uni- 
versitj',  Spain.  Miss  Gonzalez  has  returned 
to  the  campus  from  a  leave  of  absence  that 
began  this  past  February.  She  is  shown

Dr.  Garvin  Publishes  Essay 

Dr.  Harry  R.  Garvin,  associate  professor 
of  English,  has  published  a  critical  essay  on 
"Camus  and  the  American  Novel,"  in  a  re- 
cent issue  of  Comparative  Literature. 

In  his  article  Professor  Garvin  tries  to 
reverse  the  accepted  opinion  of  critics  that 
.Albert  Camus'  The  Plague  (19-17)  is  a 
deeper  work  of  art  than  the  French  novelist's 
The  Stranger  (1942.  Besides  comparing 
closely  the  artistic  elements  and  the  ideas 
of  the  two  novels.  Professor  Garvin  points 
out  the  possible  indebtedness  of  Camus  in 
The  Stranger  to  some  of  the  major  Ameri- 
can novelists  of  the  1920's. 

Nevertheless,  Camus  and  other  French 
novelists  and  critics  now  attack  the  American 
novelists  for  their  pessimism,  although  they 
once  praised  Hemingway  and  Faulkner  for 
their  revolutionary  technical  innovations  and 
for  their  ctliics  of  total  sincerity.  Dr.  Garvin 
contends  that  Camus,  like  lean-Paul  Sartre, 
has  never  really  understood  that  beneath  the 
pessimism  of  Hemingway  and  Faulkner 
there  has  nearly  always  been  a  hard-won, 
tough  idealism. 


Professors  Help  Found  Industrial 
Council 

Dr.  Richard  Iv.  DuWors,  Dr.  Wendell  I. 
.Smith  and  Dr.  Albert  Pierce,  members  of 
the  faculty  have  been  inslrinnenlal  in  found- 
ing a  seven-county  organization,  the  Sus- 
quehanna Economic  Devilopnient  Associa- 
tion for  the  purpose  of  studying  the  possi- 
bility of  establishing  new  industries  in  a 
community. 

A  Lewislnirg  SEDA  chapter  was  rccrntly 
orgaiiizcfl  and  a  steering  coinntittce  of  nin<' 
Ix-'wisburgers  was  elected  to  li<'ad  the  org,ini- 
zation. 


Dr.  Karraker  Wins  Listing 
In  'Who's  Who' 

Dr.  Cyrus  H.  Karraker,  chairman  of  the 
liistory  department  of  Bu:knell,  has  been 
added  to  the  disting-uished  list  of  "Who's 
Who  in  America." 

The  announcement  of  his  appointment  was 
iiiade  in  the  March  issue  of  The  Monthly 
Siip^lciiicnt  to  Who's  Who,  which  is  a  cur- 
rent  biographical    reference   service. 

.A  native  of  Illinois,  Dr.  Karraker  received 
his  B.  A.  from  Lake  Forrest,  (Illinois)  Col- 
lege, 1916;  Master  of  Arts,  University  of 
Michigan,  1921  ;  Ph.D.  in  European  History, 
University  of  Pennsylvania,  1927.  He  has 
been  a  member  of  the  Bucknell  faculty  since 
1933.  He  is  the  father  of  David  Karraker 
'50  and  Louise  Karraker  Furman  '48. 

He  was  recently  elected  to  the  board  of 
trustees  of  the  52-year-old  National  Child 
Labor  Committee.  Dr.  Karraker  was  one 
of  two  new  members  elected. 

In  addition  to  his  teacliing  duties,  Dr. 
Karraker  serves  as  president  of  the  Penn- 
sylvania Citizens  Committee  on  Migrant 
Labor. 

This  past  summer  he  wrote  two  articles  on 
migrant  child  laborers.  "Forgotten  Child 
Laborers"  was  published  in  TIte  Christian 
Century  of  June  13  and  has  been  reprinted 
and  distributed  by  the  National  Child  Labor 
Committee.  The  se"ond  article,  "Our  Neg- 
lected Migrant  Children,"  was  printed  in 
Friends  Journal  of  September   1, 


Four  Faculty  Members  Get 
Research  Funds 

Four  Bucknell  professors  received  grants 
for  summer  research,  by  action  of  the  Uni- 
versity Committee  for  the  En-ouragenient 
of  Graduate  Study  and  Research. 

They  are  Dr.  Roger  H.  Bowman,  assistant 
professor  of  physiology ;  Dr.  Kenneth  Ward 
Hooker,  professor  of  English ;  Dr,  William 
D.  McRae,  chairman  of  the  music  depart- 
ment and  Dr,  Albert  Pierce,  associate  pro- 
fessor of  sociology. 

The  grants  this  year  were  awarded  for 
projects  whose  purpose  is  the  extension  of 
human  knowledge  rather  than  for  completing 
degree  requirements. 


The  first  undergraduate  research  stipend 
ever  awarded  by  the  Social  Science  Research 
Council  to  a  Bucknell  University  student  has 
been  given  to  Miss  Mary  E.  Crocker,  a 
senior  from  Elmira,  N.  Y. 

Miss  Crocker  has  received  a  grant  of  $600 
in  support  of  a  research  project  which  she 
designed  and  is  carrying  out  under  the  super- 
vision of  Dr.  Harry  L,  Jacobs,  assistant 
professor  of  psychology. 

Experimental  work  on  the  project  was 
condu-ted  by  Miss  Cro-kcr  during  the  sum- 
MHT.  .She  plans  to  complete  her  final  report 
during  the  fall  semester. 


If  the  faces  of  .some  125  so])homore  men 
enrolled  in  engineering  courses  at  Bucknell 
University  are  a  bit  red  these  days,  the 
reason   may  be  understandable. 

When  the  aniiM.il  undergraduate  prizes  for 
scholastic  e.Mcllence  were  announced  the 
Tan  licta  Pi  award  for  the  engineer  making 
the  highest  grades  in  the  freshman  year  went 
to  a  coed,  namely  Marilyti  J.  I'-kiss  of  (irand 
Island,  N.  Y,,  who  is  em-olled  in  the  chemical 
engineering  course. 


PORTS 


By   HARRY    HULMES,   Athletic   Publicity 


Bison  Gridders  Win  Tliree, 
Lose  Five 

By  capturing  three  of  their  eight  games 
in  1956,  the  Bucknell  football  team  improved 
upon  its  2-6-1  record  of  the  previous  year. 
With  a  few  breaks  this  could  have  been  a 
pretty  good  season,  but  the  team  was  con- 
stantly hampered  by  injuries,  fumbles  and  a 
general  lack  of  manpower.  In  view  of  the 
better-stocked  opposition  that  was  met,  coach 
Harry  Lawrence's  gamesters  didn't  do  a  bad 
job. 

.'Vfter  whipping  Albright,  13-0,  and  Gettys- 
burg, 17-7,  the  Bisons  bowed  to  Lehigh,  25-6, 
and  Delaware,  26-7.  Then  followed  a  hard- 
to-take  defeat  at  the  hands  of  unbeaten 
Lafayette,  13-7.  It  was  a  tussle  in  which  the 
underdog  Orange  and  Blue  tallied  first,  only 
to  fall  behind  early  in  the  second  quarter. 
Bu;knell  spent  the  remainder  of  the  skirmish 
trying  in  vain  to  catch  up  with  and  pass 
their  old  rivals  from  Easton.  The  Herd 
nearly  succeeded,  too.  With  only  four  min- 
utes to  play  a  dive  by  quarterback  Jimmy 
Stewart  missed  a  first  down  by  inches  on 
the  Leopards'  13-yard  line.  That  killed  the 
Bisons'  final  threat. 

The  following  Saturday  at  Philadelphia 
Bucknell  earned  the  early  edge  by  virtue  of 
some  fancy  running  by  Billy  Ross  and  Don 
Koppes,  who  gained  96  yards  during  the 
afternoon,  and  held  on  to  trip  Temple  12-6. 
The  Herd  thus  retained  the  Old  Shoe  Trophy 
for  the  sixth  time  in  seven  years. 

The  less  said  about  the  Buffalo  battle,  the 
better  it  will  be.  After  an  effective  aerial 
attack,  spearheaded  by  quarterback  Terry 
Fetterman,  had  brought  the  Bisons  a  13-6 
advantage  in  the  second  quarter,  the  earth 
fell  out  from  under  them.  The  Bulls'  un- 
heralded quarterback,  Joe  Kubisty,  connected 
on  14  of  19  passes  for  250  yards  to  account 
for  all  five  of  his  team's  touchdowns  in  a 
surprising  31-13  conquest  of  Bucknell. 

Down  but  by  no  means  out,  the  Bisons 
journeyed  to  Hamilton,  N.  Y.  to  engage 
potent  Colgate  and  they  wound  up  giving 
one  of  their  very  best  performances  before 
submitting  by  a  '26-12  count.  Through  the 
opening  half  the  Herd  nursed  a  6-0  lead,  the 
product  of  a  nine-yard  dash  to  pay-dirt  by 
Roppes,  using  only  13  men  in  the  process. 
Toward  the  end  of  the  third  period,  how- 
ever, Lawrence's  lads  started  to  run  out  of 
gas,  and  the  Red  Raiders  snapped  a  6-6 
deadlock  with  less  than  20  minutes  to  play 
and  went  on  to  gain  their  eventual  triumph. 
If,  for  any  reason,  Harry  Lawrence  had 
any  doubts  about  his  team's  fighting  spirit 
they  were  certainly  dispelled  by  the  cour- 
ageous scrap  with  Colgate.  While  the  squad 
was  thin  it  did  give  everything  it  had.  No 
one  could  have  wanted  more. 


Bison  Cagers  Win  First  Six 


Soccermen  Finish  3-3-3 

The  Bucknell  soccer  team  defeated 
Delaware  3-0  in  its  finale  and  squared  its 
record  at  three  wins,  three  losses  and 
three  ties.  Last  year  the  hooters  were 
4-4-2,  so  while  they  may  not  be  world- 
beaters  they  are  consistent,  and  not  bad 
either. 

Under  the  guidance  of  Coach  Hank 
Peters  the  Bisons  started  inauspiciously, 
bowing  to  Penn  State,  7-0.  But  with 
seniors  Lee  Hamilton,  Marion,  Ohio,  and 
Mickey  Finley,  Philadelphia,  and  sopho- 
more Goalie  Bill  Sharp,  Lawrenceville, 
N.  J.,  showing  the  way,  the  Herd  re- 
bounded to  play  creditable  soccer  the  rest 
of  the  season. 

Opponents  claimed  as  victims  in  addi- 
tion to  Delaware  were  Temple  and  Get- 
tysburg,   both    in   2-1    scores.      The   other 


Salankiewicz,  a  junior  from  Ford  City,  was 
the  fifth  member  of  the  heroic  rescue  squad 
that  salvaged  the  72-65  triumph  over  Lehigh. 

The  earlier  struggles  were  marked  by 
co-captain  Marty  Tannenbaum's  28-point 
output  at  Ithaca,  N.  Y.  to  rock  the  Big  Red, 
60-54.  Co-captain  Skip  Wieder,  Plainfield, 
N.  J.,  also  chipped  in  with  14  counters  in 
this  hard-earned  decision. 

At  home  against  Gettysburg  the  Bisons 
had  trouble  connecting  until  sub  Mike  Cor- 
rigan,  senior  from  Kutztown,  entered  the 
fracas.  Mike  proceeded  to  pepper  the  hoop 
for  18  points  with  long  one-handers,  a  feat 
he  duplicated  against  Lehigh.  Hal  Danzig, 
Rochester,  N.  Y.,  a  6  6  soph,  has  done  yoe- 
man  work  off  the  boards  and  clipped  the 
Bullets  for  20  points. 


L.  to  R. — "Skip"  Wieder  and  "Marty"  Tannenbaum, 
co-captains,  56-57 

Although  lacking  in  five  standout  per- 
formers, Bucknell's  basketball  team  got  away 
to  a  rousing  start  by  blasting  Cornell,  Gettys- 
burg and  Lehigh  in  order.  Even  more  im- 
pressive was  the  fact  that  both  the  Big  Red 
and  the  Engineers  w-ere  beaten  on  their  own 
courts. 

The  secret  of  the  Bisons'  early  success 
was  a  benchful  of  hungry  athletes  who,  in 
many  cases,  were  equal  in  ability  to  the 
starters.  As  soon  as  his  first  line  showed 
signs  of  faltering  coach  Ben  Kribbs  would 
dip  into  his  reserve  fund  and  come  up  with 
the  right  man  for  the  job.  Sometimes,  as 
was  the  case  in  the  Lehigh  tilt,  even  the 
emergency  units  will  have  to  be  juggled  to 
provide  the  answer. 

At  Bethlehem,  in  the  thriller  to  end  all 
thrillers,  the  Herd  was  stymied  by  a  tight 
Lehigh  zone  defense.  After  ten  futile  min- 
utes the  first  Bucknell  subs  got  into  the  con- 
test. After  that  it  was  a  constant  shuffling 
and  reshuftling  of  personnel  as  the  various 
combinations  proved  inadequate.  Finally, 
with  less  than  five  minutes  to  play  and  the 
Bisons  trailing  62-53,  a  mixture  of  two  se- 
niors, a  junior  and  a  pair  of  sophs  started  to 
click.  Kribbs'  crew  reeled  off  ten  straight 
points  to  grab  the  lead  it  had  lost,  then  re- 
gained it  for  keeps  when  6-4  John  Beatty 
slipped  in  a  hook  shot,  his  fourth  in  as  many 
tries,  with  only  22  seconds  remaining. 

Beatty,  of  Charleroi,  who  had  been  side- 
lined by  a  foot  injury  through  the  Cornell 
and  Gettysburg  conflicts,  made  an  auspicious 
1956  debut  after  entering  the  battle  in  the 
final  quarter.  Sophs  Jack  Flanegan,  Lans- 
downe,  and  Dick  Kniffin,  Dumont,  N.  J., 
also  made  major  contributions  with  eight 
points  apiece  in  their  limited  last  period 
action.  Norm  Voorhees,  MeadviUe,  senior, 
flashed  his  old  form  against  the  Engineers 
and  will  be  of  definite  assistance  during  the 
long     campaign.       Skilled     playmaker     Bob 

two  setbacks  were  dealt  by  Johns  Hop- 
kins, 4-1,  and  Elizabethtown,  2-0.  Wilkes 
and  Franklin  and  Marshall  were  battled 
to  1-1  stalemates,  and  Bucknell  and 
Washington  College  scrapped  to  a  score- 
less draw. 


Frosli  Dribblers  Show  Promise 

Coach  Bill  Lane's  freshman  basketeers 
were  humbled  by  Cornell,  65-55,  in  their 
opener  but  certainly  didn't  disgrace  them- 
selves. They  sliced  a  13-point  lead  to  a 
mere  two  points  with  but  a  few  minutes 
remaining  but  then  ran  out  of  gas.  Center 
Bob  Horn,  Erie,  paced  the  scorers  with  IS 
points  at  Ithaca. 

The  next  time  out  the  Baby  Bisons  sound- 
ly thrashed  Gettysburg's  frosh  86-68,  as  Pete 
Matz,  Fanwood,  N.  J.,  collected  26  markers 
and  Horn  was  back  with  21.  Matz  missed 
the  Cornell  clash  due  to  illness. 

Pete  Sylvester's  19  points  sparked  the 
Bucknell  yearlings  to  a  66-61  verdict  over 
Lehigh's  frosh.  The  Endicott,  N.  Y.,  set 
shot  specialist  helped  the  Herd  riddle  the 
Engineers'   stubborn   zone  defense. 

In  addition  to  those  already  mentioned, 
the  top  freshman  prospects  appear  to  be  6-2 
Bob  Johns,  Lancaster,  a  terrific  rebounder, 
and  Tommy  Thompson,  Kane,  a  slick 
backcourt  operator.

Kress  Benefaction  Announced 
At  Board  Meeting 

Bucknell  University  has  received  a  gift 
of  3100,000  from  the  Samuel  H.  Kress 
Foundation,  New  York  City,  representing 
the  first  paj-ment  on  a  pledge  of  one  million 
dollars  for  endowment  purposes,  it  was  an- 
nounced at  the  semi-annual  meeting  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees  in  Philadelphia.  Dec.  8. 

The  foundation,  headed  by  Rush  H.  Kress 
'00.  Bucknell  alumnus  and  honorary  trustee 
chairman,  has  offered  to  contribute  one  dol- 
lar for  every  four  dollars  donated  to  the 
endowment  fund  by  trustees,  alumni,  and 
friends  of  the  University.  Under  this  ar- 
rangement, the  foundation  will  pay  up  to  a 
maximum  of  one  million  dollars. 

Pa\Tnents  will  be  made  by  the  foundation 
in  installments  of  SIOO.OOO  for  each  $-100,000 
added  to  the  endowment  fund  by  other 
donors  until  the  offer  expires  in  1961. 

The  initial  pa\Tnent  was  based  on  the 
University's  report  of  endowment  gifts  of 
S400.000  contributed  since  the  Kress  Founda- 
tion first  offered  to  add  to  the  endowment 
fund.

Bucknell  Review, 
December  1956 


Second  Science  Fair 

Bucknell  University  has  again  oflfored  its 
facilities  for  a  Su.squchanna  Valley  .Science 
Fair  open  to  high  school  students  in  II  cen- 
tral  Pcnn.sylvania  counties  in  April. 

Success  of  the  first  .Science  Fair  held  at 
F'uckru.-II  last  sjiring  and  sponsored  by  the 
West  Branch  .Manufacturers  Association 
prompted  the  University's  offer,  according 
to  Dam  Karl  D.  Hartzcll. 

.Students  from  3\  high  5chf>oI»  in  the  area 
entered  a  total  of  262  exhibits  in  last  year's 
Fair  which  acted  as  a  potent  force  in  stiniu- 
latinK  interest  in  the  sciences  on  the  part  of 
Ixilh  students  anrl  regional  residcnt.s. 

The  two  top  finalists  whose  entries  were 
judged  the  IxrsI,  along  with  their  tciichers, 
were  given  all-cx(>ctises-j»aid  trips  to  the 
.Vati'rtial    Science   Fair    in    Oklahoma    City,

The  December  1956  issue  of  the  Bucknell 
Rc^'it^ci.'  should  be  of  unusual  interest  to  the 
common  reader.  Though  the  three  articles 
are  all  concerned  with  imaginative  litera- 
ture. the\-  are  not  addressed  primarily  to  the 
literary  specialist.  Although  they  discuss  an 
American  novelist,  a  French  novelist  and  an 
English  poet,  the  articles  display  a  common 
interest  in  the  problem  of  time  that  gives 
this  issue  unity  and  reveals  interesting  re- 
lationships between  the  techniques  and  artists 
treated. 

\\'illard  Thorp,  Professor  of  English, 
Princeton  University,  in  The  JVay  Back 
and  the  Way  Up:  the  novels  of  Caroline 
Gordon  provides  an  unusually  useful  survey 
of  the  fiction  of  Caroline  Gordon,  wife  of 
Allen  Tate,  and  a  contemporary  American 
novelist  of  distinction  who  has  never  met 
with  the  wide  audience  she  deserves.  For 
those  of  us  who  came  late  to  Miss  Gordon's 
work  with  her  most  recent  and  widely  re- 
viewed novel,  The  Malefactors,  or  who  know 
only  several  of  her  short  stories  from  an- 
thologies, Mr.  Thorp's  outline  of  her  develop- 
ment as  a  novelist  and  his  brief  discussion  of 
each  of  her  books  is  helpful  and  illuminating. 
He  distinguishes  her  principal  themes,  pro- 
vides a  perceptive  analysis  of  her  techniques, 
and  demonstrates  new  directions  in  her 
fiction  since  her  conversion  to  Catholicism. 

Germaine  Bree,  Professor  of  French.  New 
York  University,  as  the  title  of  her  article, 
"From  Jean  Santeuil  to  Time  Regained." 
suggests,  reviews  briefly  the  major  events  in 
Proustian  scholarship  in  the  nineteen  fifties. 
She  explains  the  importance  Jean  Santeuil 
and  Coutre  Sainte  Bcuve  have,  not  so  much 
in  themselves,  but  in  establishing  an  unbrok- 
en line  from  Lcs  Plaisirs  et  Ics  Jours  to  A 
La  Recherche  du  Temps  Perdu.  They  not 
only  make  necessary  a  revision  of  popular 
impressions  of  the  young  Proust,  but.  much 
more  importantly,  they  provide  us  with  the 
necessary  clues  for  studying  the  long  develop- 
ment of  his  ultimate  masterpiece,  particularly 
the  gradual  development  of  the  "I"  of  the 
narrator. 

In  the  third  and  fullest  article,  ".Andrew 
Marvell  and  the  Winged  Chariot,"  John 
Wheatcroft,  Instructor  in  English,  Bucknell 
University,  discusses  the  problem  of  time  as 
it  obsessed  the  imagination  of  the  Renais- 
sance and  seventeenth  century  and  the  reso- 
lution of  it  achieved  by  Andrew  Marvell  in 
his  poetry.  This  theme  and  the  images  that 
carry  it  are  examined  closely  but  tactfully 
in  the  work  of  Marvell  and  his  contempo- 
raries, and  a  full  explication  of  "To  His 
Coy  Mistress"  is  made  possible  that  is 
satisfying  and   suggestive.

while  other  winners  and  their  schools  wen

In  addition,  the  .Sunhury  Dairy  Item  pre- 
sented a  $200  Bucknell  scholarsliip  to  tin- 
student  from  the  imnierliate  area  whose  en- 
try was  judged  the  best  and  the  Lewishurg 
Kiwanis  Club  awarded  cash  jirizes  to  the

Scholarships,  Student  Aids 
Total  $168,398 

Scholarships  and  other  student  aid  award- 
ed by  Bucknell  University  during  the  past 
college  year  totaled  $168,393.53. 

Of  this  amount  $102,033.30  was  granted 
in  the  form  of  scholarships,  while  $66,365.23 
was  received  by  students  in  the  form  of 
compensation  for  student  service. 

Scholarship  grants,  including  both  gradu- 
ate and  undergraduate  awards,  went  to  197 
students  or  about  10  per  cent  of  the  student 
body.  Financial  need  of  the  applicant  is  the 
principal  consideration  in  awarding  of  schol- 
arships by  the  Student  Aid  Committee. 

It  may  also  be  noted  that  the  student's 
rank  in  his  secondary  school  graduating 
class  and  his  scores  on  the  College  Board 
tests  are  other  important  criteria  in  deter- 
mining whether  or  not  the  applicant  qualifies. 

A  total  of  410  students  or  about  one  stu- 
dent in  every  five  was  employed  by  the  Uni- 
versity. Approximately  100  o,f  these  earned 
at  least  25%  of  their  college  expenses.  Most 
of  the  students  employed  were  upper-class- 
men, since  Bucknell  does  not  normally  en- 
gage freshmen  for  student  service. 


John  B.  Rishel  '15  Dies 

John  Rishel,  65,  of  the  Class  of  1915,  died 
on  October  IS,  1956,  in  Denver,  Colo.  He 
suft'ered  a  heart  attack  October  11  and  was 
confined  to  the  hospital  where  he  remained 
till  his  death. 

He  had  been  recently  honored  at  the  Kep- 
ner  Junior  High  School,  in  Engiewood, 
Colo.,  when  a  large  and  enthusiastic  audience 
gathered  to  pay  tribute  to  him  on  the  eve 
of  his  retirement  after  44  years  of  teaching. 

On  May  18,  1956,  a  fitting  tribute  to  this 
devoted  man  appeared  in  the  Denver 
Rocky  Mountain  Nezvs: 

"A  Teacher  Really  Appreciated — 

"I  was  one  of  the  many  students  who  sat 
in  the  auditorium  of  Kepner  Junior  High 
School  that  warm,  sunny  day.  I  looked  at 
a  familiar  figure  there  on  the  stage.  Maybe 
he  had  a  few  more  grey  hairs  tlian  when  I 
first  saw  him  three  years  before  in  that  very 
same  place. 

"He  stood  there  giving  us  his  farewell 
speech,  just  as  jolly  as  ever.  Somehow  I 
couldn't   believe  he   was   really   leaving. 

"I  heard  him  tell  of  his  44  years  of  teach- 
ing. I  thought,  'It  must  be  hard  to  leave.' 
"When  lie  said  'Goodby,  I  love  each  and 
everyone  of  you.  God  Bless  you,'  our  tears 
spilled  over.  Our  clapping  hands  sounded 
like  tliundcr  and  everyone  stood  in  tribute 
to   a   wonderful,    unforgettable    man. 

"Our  principal,  John  B.  Rishel,  has  left  us, 
left  us  a  heritage  I  want  to  tell  ahcnil. 
"Oh,   wlu'ii   S(>  wise  i'l   one  jis  hi'

HARRISBURG— The  Bucknell  Alumni 
Club  of  Harrisburg  held  its  regular 
monthly  dinner  meeting  at  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
on  October  4.  Twenty-eight  members  and 
friends  were  present.  Mr.  Saylor  gave  the 
invocation  before  dinner. 

Following  dinner,  Bruce  Butt  presented 
his  monthly  report  concerning  the  various

with  a  firm  of  traffic  engineering  consult- 
ants, has  spent  the  past  fifteen  years  cop- 
ing with  the  traffic  problems  of  various 
cities  in  the  United  States.  Everyone  pres- 
ent benefited  from  Mr.  Simm's  informative 
presentation  concerning  the  establishment 
of  one-way  streets  in  the  city,  as  well  as 
the  many  current  traffic  problems  for 
which  a  solution  is  hoped  to  be  found  in 

10 


the  near  future.  A  discussion  period  fol- 
lowed Mr.  Simm's  presentation. 

Twenty-four  Bucknellians  attended  the 
monthly  meeting  November  1.  Bruce  Butt 
'16  gave  the  invocation.

SOUTH  CAROLINA— The  night  of  No- 
vember  3.  proved  that  the  Bucknell  Spirit 
is  very  much  alive  in  South  Carolina. 
Twelve  of  us  met  at  the  home  of  Merilyn 
and  Walt  Roll  (Merilyn  Crim  '52),  where 
we  enjoyed  a  d  e  1  i  ci  o  u  s  buffet  supper. 
Plans  were  made  for  our  Birthday  meeting 
in  February  with  Trudy  Sonnichsen  '50  in 
charge  of  arrangements.  It  was  decided  to 
hold  three  meetings  a  year — the  Birthday 
Party  in  February,  a  picnic  in  the  Spring, 
and  the  Fall  meeting. 

After  the  short  business  meeting  we  all 
thoroughly  enjoyed  the  social  period 
which  followed. 

We  do  hope  that  fellow  South  Carolin- 
ians who  have  not  been  able  to  attend  one 
of  our  meetings  will  try  to  be  with  us  in 
February  or  will  contact  us  as  to  plans 
for   future   meetings.

ST.  PETERSBURG  — There  were  16 
present  at  the  fall  meeting  of  the  St. 
Petersburg  Bucknell  Club,  held  at  the 
beautiful  new  home  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Gul- 
bert  Lyte,  731  68th  Ave.  South.  We 
welcomed  George  Campuzano,  '13  as  a 
new  member,  living  at  7405  15th  St. 
North.  After  luncheon  and  admiration  of 
the  beautiful  new  home  president,  Gilbert 
Lyte  presided  at  the  meeting".  Deaths  of 
Ralph  Koser,  and  Dr.  Yoder  were  re- 
ported. Cards  of  sympathy  were  sent, 
and  several  get-well  cards.  A  letter  from 
Dr.  Lewis  Hylbert  in  California  and  other 
messages  were  read.  Members  told  of 
their    travels    during    the    summer.      The 


Browns  traveled  abroad  seeing  the  won- 
ders of  the  Alps  and  other  beauties  of 
Switzerland,  old  castles,  ruins  and  the 
tulips  of  Holland.  George  Ballets  told  of 
the  progress  of  Bucknell  after  his  visit 
last  commencement  time.  The  Headlands 
covered  a  large  range  of  territory  as  they 
visited  their  large  family  in  various  areas 
and  their  many  friends. 

New  address  books,  made  by  the  secre- 
tary, were  distributed  to  members.  Dick 
Stauffer  has  had  a  serious  operation,  but 
he  is  improving.  He  has  bought  a  home 
here,  living  at  17405  First  Street  East 
Redington  Shores,  Gulf  Beaches.  Mrs. 
Headland  was  appointed  to  arrange  for 
our  annual  dinner,  Feb.  2nd.  Visiting 
alumni  are  invited.  Telephone  the  Secre- 
tary. 572344,  or  write.  Ruth  S.  Porter,

degree  of  validity,  that  this  type  of  show 
was  a  derogatory  mockery  of  the  Negro 
race.  However,  the  opponents  failed  to 
take  into  consideration  the  context  of  the 
show  itself.  Of  the  two  examples  presented 
this  fall,  one  typified  everything  that  had 
been  charged,  but  the  other  one  was  full  of 
"plain,  good  fun."  This  little  discussion 
didn't  mar  the  semester  in  any  permanent 
way,  nor  did  it  create  any  lasting  feuds. 

An  event  never  to  be  forgotten  is  the 
annual  Ugly  Man  Contest,  sponsored  by 
Mortar  Board.  This  unusual  contest  is 
marked  by  crazy  and  clever  posters  such  as 
"Ugliness  is  Philness"  and  in  the  dining 
hall  "If  you  think  this  juice  is  bad,  just 
look  at  who's  pouring  it."  Instead  of  by 
ballots,  the  winner  is  chosen  by  the  amount 
of  money  dropped  in  his  milk  bottle — every 
penny  is  a  vote.  Mortar  Board  uses  the 
money  for  a  scholarship  fund.  Despite  a 
march  of  the  Sigs  through  the  Sem  with 
arms  outstretched  for  money  for  their  can- 
didate. Earl  "Audie"  Evans  was  victorious. 
He  was  crowned  "Ugly  Man"  at  the  corona- 
tion at  Chef's,  and  then  he  and  his  court 
were  honored  by  a  'banquet'  in  the  women's 
dining  hall. 

Now  with  the  first  semester  coming  to  a 
close,  there  isn't  much  scheduled  until  next 
semester  except  studying  for  exams,  cram- 
ming for  exams,  and  then  taking  exams. 
There  are  a  few  other  things  like  the  Mili- 
tary Ball,  a  freshman-sophomore  party,  and 
frantic   last-minute   rushing.

FOUNDATIONS,  CORPORATIONS  AND  BUCKNELL 


\\  e  read  and  hear  much  about  the  growing  awareness  on 
the  part  of  industry  and  foundations  of  the  "pHght"  of  the 
privately-endowed  colleges.  And  almost  daily  we  notice  en- 
couraging reports  of  contributions  to  colleges  by  foundations 
and  business  concerns,  and  we  cannot  help  but  wonder.  "To 
what  extent  and  from  what  sources  do  these  gifts  help  Buck- 
nell?"  The  present  article  is  an  attempt  to  give  a  comprehen- 
sive answer  to  that  question. 

True,  during  the  past  three  years,  alumni  have  been 
informed  of  the  total  amounts  of  industry  and  foundation 
donations  (See  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS.  Nov.  '54, 
Nov.  '55,  Nov.  '56)  but  never  before  have  we  published  the 
details  of  the  sources  of  these  funds  and  the  purposes  for 
which  the}'  have  been  used. 

Foundation,  business  and  industry  gifts  reach  the  Univer- 
sity through  three  main  avenues :  (a)  Direct  Gifts  from  Corpo- 
rations and  Foundations,  (b)  Indirect  Gifts  through  the 
Foundation  for  Independent  Colleges.  Inc.  of  Pennsylvania, 
and  (c)    Industry  Gifts  to  Match  Alumni  Giving. 

Direct  Gifts  From  Coporations  and  Foundations 

"Which  came  first,  the  chicken  or  the  egg?"  is  as  easy  to 
answer  as  to  find  out  whether  foundation  and  corporation 
giving  started  by  Education  asking  for  help  or  Foundations 
offering  help.  Suffice  it  to  say  that  doubts  concerning  corporate 
responsibilit\-  in  the  field  of  higher  education  have  changed  to 
a  general  acceptance  of  the  principle  of  corporate  aid.  No 
longer  is  there  a  question  of  the  moral  and  legal  rights  of 
management  to  expend  corporate  funds  for  this  purpose.  A 
realization  that  eighty-eight  per  cent  of  top  business  and 
industry  leadership  is  now  college-trained  and  that  seventy-one 
per  cent  comes  from  private  colleges  shows  that  it  is  to  the 
interest  of  business  and  industry  to  maintain  and  develop  this 
great  source  of  manpower  and  womanpower. 

From  foundations,  Bucknell  University  received,  during 
the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1956,  a  total  of  $392,228.41.  Of 
this  sum,  $295,000.00  was  received  from  the  Ford  Foundation 
as  the  first  payment  of  the  $538,100.00  grant  as  endowment 
for  the  increase  of  faculty  salaries.  The  crucial  test  of  this 
great  gift  will  lie  in  its  success  in  stimulating  others  to  con- 
tinue the  start  which  has  been  made.  It  is  estimated  that  the 
income  from  the  Ford  grant  will  increase  salaries  about  4^% 
to  5%,  but  five  times  this  amount  is  required  just  to  restore 
salaries  to  their  1939  purchasing  power  level,  and  many  more 
times  the  amount  is  needed  to  provide  ADEQUATE  salaries. 

Foundation  gifts  were  used  for  the  purposes  indicated  by 
the  donors,  as  follov/s: 

Endowment  $308,811.41 

Capital  Gifts  50,000.00

The  Foundation  for  Independent  Colleges,  Inc. 
of  Pennsylvania 

Included  in  the  foundation  contributions  listed  above  is 
$11,811.41  received  through  The  Foundation  for  Independent  Col- 
leges, Inc.  of  Pennsylvania.  This  represents  the  return  from  a 
young  but  growing  co-operative  movement  for  support  of  higher 
education.  The  movement  had  its  beginning  in  1948  when 
two  college  presidents  in  Indiana  joined  forces  to  inform 
businessmen  of  the  place  of  free  enterprise  in  education  in 
the  economy,  culture,  and  progress  of  their  State,  and  the 
financial  plight  of  colleges  which  do  not  receive  support  from 
tax  sources.  In  these  short  years  the  movement  has  grown 
to  national  stature  and  now  embraces  thirty-seven  organiza- 
tions covering  forty  states,  with  a  combined  membership  of 
four  hundred  and  forty-six  institutions  of  higher  learning. 
The  Pennsylvania  counterpart  in  this  movement  was  organized 
late  in  1952,  and  in  its  fourth  year  received  215  gifts  totalling 
$308,296.24,  a  gain  of  79%  over  the  previous  year.  The  proce- 
dure is  simple  yet  convincing — college  presidents,  two  by  two, 
present  the  needs  of  the  forty  member-colleges  to  the  heads 
of  business  concerns  in  the  businessman's  office  in  one-week 
tours  of  duty  in  the  fall  and  again  in  the  spring. 

Bucknellians  can  be  proud  of  the  achievements  of  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Foundation,  which  have  been  accomplished  by  the  devoted 
and  often  sacrificial  efforts  of  its  college  presidents.  At  the  same 
time,  it  is  evident  that  only  a  start  has  been  made.  While  the  gifts 
this  past  year  surpassed  $300,000,  the  gap  between  this  sum  and  the 
minimum  realistic  need  of  $1,600,000  from  business  and  industry 
operating  in  Pennsylvania  shows  the  magnitude  of  the  job  to  be 
accomplished.  Only  by  receiving  the  support  of  additional 
hundreds  of  corporations,  large  and  small,  and  raising  the 
level  of  support  from  present  donors,  can  the  essential  require- 
ments of  privately-supported  Pennsylvania  colleges  be  met. 
In  this  area  of  fund-raising  Bucknell  alumni  can  be  most 
helpful  by  suggesting  to  their  employers  and  business  asso- 
ciates the  support  of  independent  higher  education  in  Penn- 
sylvania through  annual  gifts  to  The  Foundation  for  Inde- 
pendent  Colleges,   Inc. 

The  statiticians  for  sure  and  probably  many  others  will 
want  to  know,  "How  are  the  gifts  apportioned?"  XVell,  here's 
the  answer:  Industry  donors  may  designate  a  specific  college 
as  the  recipient  of  its  gift.  These  gifts  are  distributed  immedi- 
ately in  accordance  with  the  wishes  of  the  donors.  The  haUuicc, 
less  operating  expenses,  is  distributed  to  the  member  colleges 
by  a  formula  of  60%  divided  erjually  among  the  member 
colleges  and  407"   i"   proportion   to  em-ollmcnl.

Bndust-ry  Gifts  to  Match  Alumna  Gevang 

The  third  avenue  by  which  business  and  industry  gifts 
reach  Bucknell  University  is  through  gift-matching  programs 
estabhshed  by  a  number  of  industrial  concerns.  Under  these 
programs — matching  an  alumnus-employee  gift  to  his  or  her 
alma  mater — the  company  not  only  cooperates  with  its  em- 
ployees, but  has  a  ready-made  and  effective  selection  of  those 
colleges  and  universities  from  which  it  has  benefited.  This 
avenue,  like  the  Foundation  for  Independent  Colleges,  has  just 
recently  been  opened  but  in  two  years  shows  great  promise  of 
heavy  traffic  to  come.  Perhaps  it  is  only  natural  that  General 
Electric  Company,  certainly  one  of  the  leaders  in  the  illuminat- 
ing field,  should  spotlight  this  new  avenue  of  aid  to  higher 
education  from  business  and  industry  through  its  introduction 
of  the  Corporate-Alumnus  or  Matching-Gift  program. 

In  the  first  full  year  of  operation,  General  Electric  dis- 
tributed $200,000.00  to  359  colleges,  thus  DOUBLING  the 
gifts  of  the  participating  alumni  of  these  colleges.  And 
Bucknellians  in  the  employ  of  the  Company  did  extremely 
well  exceeding,  in  percentage  of  participation,  both  the  record 
of  the  Bucknell  general  alumni  body  and  the  General  Electric 
employee  body.  A  total  of  $1680.00  was  contributed  by 
Bucknell  employees  of  General  Electric,  matched  by  a  like  gift 
from  the  Company.  It  is  hoped  that  the  record  for  the  present 
year  will  be  even  better  for  General  Electric  has  extended  the 
program    to   include    non-grads    as    well   as    graduates. 

JANUARY     1957 


Even  more  encouraging  results  in  this  area  of  giving  are 
anticipated  because  the  innovation  introduced  b}'  General 
Electric  has  been  adopted  by  a  number  of  other  industrial 
firms.  Because  the  program  is  under  consideration  by  many 
industries  at  the  present  time,  the  following  list  is  probably 
not  complete  but  it  is  known  that  these  twenty-seven  com- 
panies now  match  employee  gifts  made  to  their  alma  maters:

Xote:  If  j-our  compan5-  has  such  a  plan  and  is  not  listed 
above,  please  advise  the  Fund  Office,  whether  or  not  you  plan 
to  participate  in  it  personally.   Thanks. 

Most  of  the  plans  provide  a  special  form  to  be  signed  by 
the  employee  contributor  and  by  Bucknell  to  accompany  the 
contribution.  One  problem  encountered  in  the  Bucknell  Fund 
Office  in  cooperating  in  this  program  is  the  difficulty  in  learning 
which  Bucknellians  are  employed  by  these  generous  companies, 
for  onh-  General  Electric  supplies  the  college  with  a  list  of 
its  alumni-employees.  Perhaps  some  companies  fail  to  supply 
such  lists  because  of  lack  of  information  on  personnel  records 
or  because  of  fear  that  emploj'ees  might  be  "over-solicited." 
At  Bucknell  we  confine  our  solicitation  to  one  letter  each  year 
calling  attention  to  the  program  and  inviting  participation. 
Tn  the  past  year  a  few  Bucknell  contributors  to  the  Alumni 
Fund  have  failed  to  send  the  special  form  required  and  thus 
have  denied   Bucknell  of  the   matching  gift. 


Who  Benefits? 

In  this  overly  long  discussion  of  gifts  to  Bucknell  it  is 
almost  inevitable  that  in  the  outlining  of  avenues,  formulas, 
plans,  procedures  and  techniques  one  will  lose  sight  of  the 
fundamental  purpose  behind  these  many  activities.  Therefore, 
it  is  well  to  remember  that  the  outcome  of  all  of  these  tech- 
niques is  to  have  good  things  happen  to  people.  Every  gift 
received  by  the  University,  whether  for  use  in  the  current 
budget  operations,  faculty  salaries,  scholarships,  endowment, 
research,  or  brick  and  motar  capital  gifts  helps  a  person — a 
present  student  on  the  campus.  By  the  same  token,  it  is 
inescapable  that  every  gift  helps  every  Bucknellian  for  it  raises 
the  value  and  enhances  the  prestige  of  his  or  her  college  educa- 
tion and  of  the  Bucknell  degree  that  hangs  on  the  wall  in  the 
den  or  reposes   in   the  lower   drawer  of  the  bureau. 


Who  Does  the  Work? 

If  the  impression  has  been  created  that  this  growing 
awareness  of  the  partnership  between  the  free  enterprise  of 
business  and  the  free  enterprise  of  higher  education  is  a 
miracle  it  is  all  right  for  what  has  happened  is  truly  a  miracle. 
But,  like  most  miracles,  it  didn't  "just  happen."  Back  of  these 
achievements  stand  literally  thousands  who  see  the  truth  of 
the  concept  that  civilization  is  in  a  gigantic  race  between 
"catastrophe  and  education."  Back  of  these  achievements 
stand  people  who  are  too  numerous  to  mention  by  name.  The 
"on  campus"  list  surely  includes  the  college  president  who 
adds  to  an  already  overfilled  schedule  of  visits  to  industry  leaders 
to  "tell  the  story;"  the  devoted  faculty  that  knows  true  learning 
is  the  essential  ingredient  of  a  college  education;  the  placement 
bureau  director,  who,  because  of  his  close  association  with 
industry  recruiters,  can  give  valuable  interpretation  to  univer- 
sity needs:  many  other  staff  members  who  expedite  the  de- 
tailed execution  of  plans ;  and  the  students  who,  fifteen  years  hence, 
by  their  viewpoint  and  attitude  will  write  the  ticket  for 
education. 

On  the  "off  campus"  list  stands  every  college  and  univer- 
sity alumnus.  Some  day  millions — instead  of  thousands — will 
understand  that  each  of  us  is  in  a  unique  spot  that  no  other 
person  can  occupy.  No  other  person — other  than  you — can 
make  your  unique  contribution  of  telling  your  employing  com- 
pany or  your  Ijusiness  associate  of  the  growing  need  for  an 
ever  closer  partnership  between  the  free  enterprise  of  business 
and  the  free  enterprise  of  higher  education.  VVill  you  "tell  the 
story"  to  some  potential  donor  today  and  tomorrow  and 
tomorrow   .   .   .?

CLASS  REPORTS 


EMERITUS  CLUB 

MISS  MARY  COTTON 
Eldr.d,  Pa. 

THE  TEACHER 

A  teacher  sat  at  her  desk  one  day. 
Her  pupils  all  were  out  at  play. 
She  :  aid  to  hersell  "What  do  I  here 
With  this  motley  crowd  of  kids  so  queer?" 

"Am  I  a  machine  that  runs  alway, 

Or   a   slave   that  grinds  for   the   monthly  pay? 

Or  a  soul  afire  with  the  love  cf  truth 

That  sees  some  promise  in  this  mass  of  youth?" 

"I  shall  not  fold  up  in  a  fense  of  defeat. 
I  shall  not  beat  a  sad  retreat. 
I  shall  do  my  best,  come  what  may. 
And  set  high  aims  for  each  next  day." 

For  forty  years  the  time  went  on: 
Sometimes  on  her  heart  there   rolled   a   stone. 
More   often  the   quickening   love   for  her   work 
Over-mastered  every  urge  to  shirk. 

At  last  the  time  of  retirement  came; 
They  called  a  meeting  to  honor  her  name. 
What  had  she  done?    Well,  who  could  tell? 
Who  could  the  syllables  of  destiny  spell? 

They  came  from  near,  they  came  from  far; 
No  circumstances  .'teemed  a  bar. 
They  brought  her  gifts  and  they  brought  her  love. 
It  seemed  the  heavens  had  opened  above. 

Who  came?    The  gray  haired,  learned  judge. 
The  preacher  whom  evil  could  not  budge. 
The  honored  governor  who  riled  the  State, 
The  philosopher  who  dealth  with  fa  e; 

The  mariner  who  Eound?d  the  ocean's  bottom. 

The  scientist  who  crushed  the  atom. 

The  doctor  who  daily  cu'ed  di  ease. 

The  statesman  who  fought  for  lasting  peace. 

Fathers  and  mothers  their  tribute  brought. 
Sweet-faced  children  her  glances  soug'it. 
They  made  their  speeches;  she  had  her  say. 
Tear-bedimmed  eyes  closed  the  meeting  that  day. 

—John  I.  Woodruff  '90 
March  23.  1956 


We  are  sorrv  to  learn  of  the  death  of 
Dr.  Hannah  O.'  Staufft  '92.  She  served  the 
people  of  Elkhart,  Indiana  for  many 
years.  She  received  her  medical  degrees 
at  the  University  of  Michigan  and  the 
University  of  Vienna. 

It  is  with  regret  that  we  learned  only 
recently  of  the  death  of  William  A.  Kauff- 
man  '95.  He  had  been  located  for  many 
vears  in  Wappingers  Falls,  N.  Y.  Our 
belated  sympathy  is  extended  to  his  fam- 
ily. 

Mrs.  William  H.  MacEwan  (Margaret 
I.  Norton)  '96,  died  May  24  at  Haver- 
towni,  where  she  had  made  her  home  for 
manv  years.  Our  sympathy  is  extended 
to  all  those  who  were  close  to  her  and  will 
miss  her  presence. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Clement  K.  Robb  '96,  are 
making  their  home  in  Florida  where  they 
are  both  happy  and  enjoying  good  health. 
Address:  P.  O.  Box  247,  Penny  Farms, 
Fla. 

Rev.  John  E.  Calvin  '99  passed  away 
March  13.  He  served  the  Baptist  minis- 
try 38  years,  retiring  in  1938.  His  widow 
and  two  children  survive  him,  one  of 
whom  is  Arthur  C,  Calvin  '38,  who  lives 
in  Wheeling,  West  Virginia.  The  daugh- 
ter, Edith  Calvin,  teaches  in  the  Pen  Yan, 
N.  Y.  schools  where  she  and  her  mother 
reside. 

We  are  glad  to  know  that  the  vears 
Flora  M.  Clymer  '93  spent  at  Bucknell 
had  helped  her,  as  she  says,  to  continue 
for  55  years.  She  was  sorry  she  could  not 
attend  commencement,  but  was  very  busy. 
As  most  of  you  know,  she  is  the  founder 
and  pastor  of  the  Greenwich  Light  Bap- 
tist Church,  Philadelphia,  and  is  one  of 
the  very  few  women  pastors  of  a  Baptist 
congregation. 

It  is  with  regret  that  we  have  learned 
of  the  death  of  Mrs.  F.  M.  Sweyer  (Irene 
C.  Ellis  I'9S). 

Mrs.  S.  C.  Downs  (Ruth  H.  Sprague 
'98)  received  the  "Distinguished  Service 
Award"  in  recognition  of  her  outstanding 
work  in  braille  at  the  biennial  convention 


of  the  National  Federation  of  Business 
and  Professional  Women's  Clubs  at  Mi- 
ami Beach,  Florida. 

Professor  Walter  S.  Harley,  '87  expects 
to  be  on  the  campus  to  greet  all  his  old 
friends  at  the  June  Homecoming  in  1957. 
He  will  be  celebrating  his  70th  reunion  at 
that  time.  Since  1943  his  home  address 
has  been  46  Kilburn  Road,  Garden  City, 
N.   Y. 

We  regret  to  announce  the  death  of 
Mrs.  George  W.  Murdoch  (Clarissa  L. 
B'owler).  Mrs.  Murdoch  a  member  of  Pi 
Beta  Phi  completed  her  bachelor  degree 
requirements  at  Vassar  College.  She  is 
survived  bv  her  sisters,  Mrs.  Raymond  S. 
BuUis  (Jane  R.  Fowler  '03)  of  Whittier, 
Calif.,  and  Mrs.  William  R.  McClintock

A  brother  Monroe  K.  Fowler  '01  preceded 
her  in  death. 

Dr.  Frank  Anderson  '01  former  execu- 
tive secretary  of  the  Iowa  Baptist  Con- 
vention, died  Feb,  28,  four  days  before  his

Rock,  Ark.,  after  an  illness  of  only  five 
days.

MRS.  HARRY  0.  HERPEL 
(Elvie  S.  Colemanj 
1250  Park  Avenue 
McKeesport,  Pa. 


It  is  with  regret  that  we  announce  the 
death  of  Mrs.  Clark  Snyder  (Grace  B. 
Roberts)  on  September  16,  1956,  at  her 
home  in  Lewisburg.  She  first  married 
Enoch  Perrine  who  was  a  professor  at 
Bucknell  from  1885  to  1920.  After  his 
death  she  married  Clark  H.  W,  Snyder  '07 
who  practiced  law  in  Detroit,  Michigan, 
before  coming  to  Lewisburg  in  1932, 
where  he  died  in  1939, 

Roger  H.  Williams,  D.D.,  has  retired 
from  the  First  Baptist  Church  at  Greens- 
burg,  where  he  served  many  years. 

The  Herbert  Stewarts  have  returned 
from  their  third  European  trip. 

Emily  Ebling  will  be  spending  the 
winter   in   the   South. 

We  are  sorry  to  hear  of  the  illness  of 
Col.  A.  F,  Dershimer's  wife. 

Thank  you  Emily  and  Ida  for  news 
items. 

We  hope  to  hear  from  others.  "Tempus 
Fugits!" 

Your  reporter  expects  to  spend  Christ- 
mas Season  with  her  son's  family  in  Ab-

Best  wishes  of  the  Season  to  all!

DR.  LEO  L.  ROCK'WELL 
Colgate  University 
Hamilton,  N.  Y. 


Mary  Stanton  Speicher  foregathered 
with  some  of  the  other  young  girls  3t 
commencement.  Vera  Duncan  Haskell 
of  Ulysses,  Pa.,  and  Montreal,  Canada, 
(put  in  this  order  because,  like  all  other 
North  Tier  youngsters,  she  loves  that 
wonderful  region)  and  Kathryn  King  of 
Reynoldsville  (not  quite  in  the  North 
Tier,  but  close  enough  to  include  her  in). 

All  members  of  the  class  will  feel  the 
deepest  sympathy  for  Coit  Hoechst  at  the 
death  of  his  wife  Margaret,  who  died 
in  Lewisburg  while  on  a  visit  to  the  Paul 
Stolzes.  Margaret  had  been  a  true  help- 
mate to  Coit  during  the  many  years  of 
their  life  together.  A  graduate  of  the 
University  of  Pittsburgh.  Margaret  was 
a  member  of  the  Third  Presbyterian 
Church  and  the  Women's  Overseas  Ser- 
vice League  of  that  city.  Funeral  services 
were  held  at  East  Berlin.  Coit's  old  home 
and  burial  in  the  Union  cemetery  of  that 


place.     We  are  all  with  you,  Coit,  in  your 
sorrow. 

Tom  Schultz  has  written  your  reporter 
a  long  and  interesting  letter  in  which  he 
announces  his  return  to  Alaska  and  re- 
counts his  long  experience  there.  After 
college  he  began  teaching  in  Unalakleet, 
300  miles  southwest  of  Fairbanks.  Then 
he  and  his  wife  were  transferred  to  Kana- 
kanak;  here  they  were  for  several  years; 
his  wife  of  linguistic  ability,  since  she 
could  speak  English,  Swedish  and  several 
native  dialects,  was  very  useful. 

In  1914  they  were  transferred  to  Shish- 
maref  on  the  Arctic,  then  to  Elim,  100 
miles  east  of  Nome.  After  a  return  to 
the  States  because  of  Mrs.  Schultz's 
health,  and  her  death  in  1927,  Tom  re- 
turned to  Alaska.  After  building  a  school 
at  Newhalen,  Tom  was  transferred  again 
to  Ekwak,  thence  to  Hooper  Bay,  "way 
out  of  God's  country"  among  the  most 
primitive  people.  Planning  to  retire,  Tom, 
who  had  remarried,  enjoyed  for  a  time 
luxurious  living,  with  electric  light,  hot 
water,  and  other  civilized  appurtennances, 
in  Livelock.  Tom  continued  teaching 
until  he  was  sixty-seven;  his  wife  is  still 
teaching  in  their  new  location  at  Chisto- 
china,  on  the  Alaska  Highway. 

Tom  plans  to  be  back  for  the  reunion, 
visiting  his  children  in  the  States  on  the 
way  down  (or  is  it  up)?  He  is  well,  and 
enjoys  hunting  for  moose  and  caribou, 
and  fishing  for  salmon.  He  wonders 
whether  he  will  live  as  long  as  his  grand- 
father, who  walked  out  to  the  barn  the 
night  before  he  died,  at  the  age  of  96! 
It  sounds  to  me,  Tom,  as  though  you'll 
make  a  hundred.

Doncaster  G.  Humm  of  Los  Angeles, 
Calif.,  extends  his  best  wishes  to  all  class- 
mates of  19()9.  Those  of  us  at  our  45th 
recall  how  disappointed  we  all  were  when 
we  were  intormeJ  that  Don,  on  his  way 
to  join  us,  had  to  return  to  Los  Angeles 
because  of  a  sudden  illness.  Now  comes 
a  letter  from  him  telling  us  of  his  more 
recent  illness.  Early  last  May  a  physical 
showed  much  need  for  rest  and  surgical 
treatment  as  well.  An  extended  vacation 
in  northern  Arizona  and  after  that  an  op- 
eration did  the  work,  so  that  now  he  has 
regained  his  weight  and  a  great  deal  of 
his  strength.  Keep  up  the  good  work, 
Don,  and  meet  us  on  the  Bucknell  cam- 
pus for  that  grand  occasion — our  50th. 

It  is  with  sorrow  that  we  announce  the 
death  of  Clarence  H.  Engle  who  died  in 
Topeka,  Kan.,  on  May  27,  1956.^  Our 
belated  sympathy  is  extended  to  his  sur- 
vivors. 

In  Mexico's  English  language  newspa- 
per (Editado  For  El  Diario  Novedadcs) 
of  April  7,  1956,  appears  an  article  on 
"Personality  of  the  Week."  The  picture 
of  the  fine  looking  man  with  the  article 
is  none  other  than  that  of  our  own  Mal- 
colm Scott  Hallman.  The  article  lists 
Malcolm's  many  accomplishments.  He 
held  the  principalship  of  the  Cedar  Rap- 
ids, Iowa,  high  school  from  1926-1948. 
At  one  time  he  was  a  member  of  the  Com- 
mission for  Secondary  School  Curricu- 
lum for  Iowa.  For  22  years  he  was  pro- 
fessor of  education  at  the  Black  Hills 
Teachers  College  in  South  Dakota  during 
summer  periods,  and  for  five  of  those 
years  was  acting  president.  He  has  au- 
thored many  articles  on  archaeology,  his- 
tory, school  administration,  bee  culture 
(on  which  he  is  an  expert)  and  is  the 
joint  author  of  a  book  on  secondary  edu- 
cation. He  retired  in  1948.  His  summer 
home  is  in  Spearfish,  S.  D.  This  year  he 

■JANUARY     1957 


and    his    wife    are    traveling    through 
Europe,  Africa  and  Asia. 

Since  we  five  members  of  the  Class  of 
1909  know  that  many  Bucknellians  will 
be  coming  to  St.  Petersburg  or  nearbj- 
this  season  we  all  give  you  a  big,  big  in- 
flation to  come  to  see  us  while  you  are 
here.  Our  names  and  addresses  are: 
George  F.  Bailets,  552  Kirkwood  Ter. 
Xorth.  St.  Petersburg;  Sarah  Walters 
Headland  (for  address  see  above);  Gil-

MISS  MILDRED  B.  GATHERS 
100  W.  33rd  St..  .-ipt.  6 
Bayonne.  N.  J. 


John  (Heine)  and  Agnes  Bank  are 
planning  to  spend  the  winter  in  Daytona 
Beach.  While  there  they  hope  to  attend 
some  of  the  Bucknell  St.  Petersburg 
meetings  and  renew  acquaintenance  with 
former  Bucknellians. 

The  sincere  sympathy  of  her  classmates 
is  extended  to  Emily  Lane  Yoder  in  the 
loss  of  her  husband  who  passed  away  at 
Huntingdon,  November  13.  Over  the 
years  Joseph  Yoder  had  attended  so  many 
of  our  class  reunions  that  he  had  come  to 
seem  almost  a  class  member  himself.  He 
was  famed  as  an  author,  lecturer,  singer. 
and  interpreter  of  the  "plain  people"  of 
whom  he  was  one  and  to  whom  he  re- 
mained loyal  always,  although  his  in- 
terests were  broad.  A  graduate  of  what  is 
now  Juniata  College,  he  became  one  of 
the  best-known  educators  of  several  states 
in  which  he  served  as  teacher  and  princi- 
pal. Later  he  was  a  "high  school  visitor" 
for  Juniata,  and  was  actively  interested  in 
its  musical  and  athletic  programs.  "Ro- 
sanna  of  the  .\mish",  one  of  his  best 
known  books,  is  still  regarded  as  the  only 
authentic  book  on  the  social,  religious, 
and  stern  economic  practices  of  the 
Amish,  a  subject  to  which  he  devoted 
much  study  and  research.

"It's  a  lot  more  fun  to  count  your  bles- 
sings than  it  is  to  add  up  your  misfor- 
tunes." 

"The  old  woman  of  the  roads"  has  been 
gadding  again.  A  few  weeks  ago  we  made 
a  trip  to  Rebersburg  and  spent  a  couple 
of  hours  with  Bob  Meyer  and  wife.  He 
has  promised  to  come  back  to  the  re- 
union. Wanted  to  know  if  I  knew  of  the 
"whereabouts"  of  Harrison  Sweet.  So 
Harrison,  if  you  read  this  write  to  Bob. 

Came  on  down  to  Lock  Haven,  stopped 
to  see  the  Haggertys  but  they,  too,  were 
enjoying  the  beautiful  fall  day.  Came  by 
Levegoods  in  Jersey  Shore.  Thought  I 
saw  a  strange  man  at  the  window.  Came 
back  and  found  Helen  and  Roy.  Roy 
says  "Helen  will  be  back  for  the  reunion." 

This  card  from  Mary  Weiser  Jenkins: 

Dear  Maze: 

"We  came  here  from  Innsbruch  by  way 
of  the  Dolomites  which  were  breath  tak- 
ing.    I  am  enjoying  every  minute." 

Traveling  around  in  Italy!  Just  wait 
till  she  makes  excuses  about  not  coming 
back  for  the  reunion. 

Pop  was  hemmed  in  on  all  sides  by  our 
democratic  neighbors.  He,  a  Republican, 
was  right  in  the  middle.  Couldn't  find 
out  how  I  voted  so  now  calls  me  Adlai. 

Was  back  to  Homecoming  for  the  first 
time.  As  I  looked  around,  knew  I  was 
about  the  oldest  one  tlu-re.  Saw  Bob 
Meyer,  "Sal"  Fisher  '1,?,  aiul  Lew  Lyne 
'14 — both  old  faithfuls.  "Red"  Lowther 
'14,  Henrietta  Heinsling  Krincr  '17  and 
husband.  Eugene  Long  '28  .md  Viok-t, 
Fuller  Hayes,  '08  Betty  Oesterlie  Kline 
'49.  .Saw  Dave  McNeal's  name  on  the 
bulletin  board  Imt  iDidiln't  locate  him. 
Just  like  olrl  Ik  line  week — hadn't  seen 
Henrietta  since  .i  tnere  child  when  she 
visited  "Lib"  and  Ruth  al  the  Seni. 

My  family  "with  all  the  works"  was 
home  to  help  us  celebrate  our  .Vth  wed- 
ding anniversary  Sunday,  Nov.  1 1th.  On 
that  day  we  had  our  youngest  grandchihi. 
David  Stcck,  baptized.  They  no  sooner 
got  their  brlongings  together  to  start  for 
home  then  thcy  were  back  for  the  Thanks- 


giving  week-end.  Sometimes  I  don't 
think  they  even  unpacked  their  cars. 

Dr.  Mary  Harris  '94  was  our  guest 
speaker  at  the  Tuesday  Study  Club  in 
Muncy  in  November.  I  had  never  met 
nor  seen  her  but  at  one  glance  I  could 
see  a  great  resemblance  to  our  dear  old 
Prexy.  She  told  me  that  Jim  and  Isa- 
belle  had  made  another  trip  to  Europe — 
this  time  to  see  their  son  who  is  in  the 
Army  and  to  attend  his  marriage.  Jim 
does  not  keep  me  posted.  She  is  going 
to  spend  Christmas  with  Walter's  son  and 
family  in  Washington.  She  was  so  pleased 
to  tell  me  that  their  daughter  was  named 
for  her. 

Spent  a  wonderful  week-end  again  with 
Alice  and  :Muff  Scott  and  "little"  Florence 
in  Elmira.  I  say  "little"  Florence  because 
she  is  about  as  big  as  a  half  pint.  We 
hadn't  seen  her  for  2  years,  but  could  see 
that  she  hadn't  aged  a  bit.  She  will  be 
98  in  February.  She  still  cooks  wonder- 
ful meals,  her  mind  just  as  keen  and  alert, 
never  misses  church,  does  her  chores 
regularly.  I  tried  to  pin  Alice  down  for 
the  reunion  but  all  she  would  say  is  "For- 
get about  the  reunion  and  get  yourselves 
back  here  in  the  spring."  I  imagine  we 
will  go.  All  the  females  make  such  a 
fuss  over  Pop  and  he  likes  it  that  I  don't 
have   to   coa.x   too   hard. 

Don't  forget  to  fill  out  your  question- 
naire as  soon  as  it  arrives,  then  mail  it 
back.  It  will  take  some  time  to  get  ready 
for  next  June.  Write  me  that  you  will 
be   back. 

And  now  Christmas  will  be  over  when 
you  receive  this,  but  in  the  words  of  Tiny 
Tim,  "A  Merry  Christmas — God  Bless 
You." 

"For  Christmas,  with  its  lots  an'  lots  of 
candies,  cakes  and  toys,  was  made,  they 
say,  for  proper  kids  an'  not  for  naughty 
boys."

Wrote  for  news  of  Mary  E.  Humphrey 
and  received  word  from  her  brother  Dr. 
Isaac  Humphrey  '22  that  Mary  had  passed 
away  in  October,  1954,  after  a  very  long 
illness.  She  had  taught  in  Nanticoke 
high  school  ever  since  leaving  Bucknell 
until  she  was  granted  leave  of  absence 
because  of  her  health.  I  was  so  sorry  to 
hear  of  it  and  I  extended  the  sympathy 
of  the  class  to  her  family. 

Talk  about  nice  people  and  co-opera- 
tion, etc. — this  time  I  wrote  letters  to  5 
of  you  and  got  4  answers.  Isn't  that 
grand?     Thank  you  so  very  much! 

While  Santa  and  his  helpers  are  re- 
furbishing the  Flanders  Hotel,  Ysabelle 
and  Art  Yon  and  the  staff  will  be  vaca- 
tioning. (In  Florida,  I  bet).  Our  fa- 
vorite hotel  will  open  Feb.  8,  when  they 
return  to  Atlantic  City.  Brick  has  made 
a  fine  recovery  and  we're  so  happy  about 
it! 

Edna  Overfield  Miller  has  been  a  wid- 
ow since  1936.  She  now  lives  at  2806  Erie 
St..  S.  E.,  Apt.  B-19,  Washington,  D.  C. 
She  is  with  the  General  Services  Adminis- 
tration and  is  thinking  of  retiring  next 
year  and  live  near  her  daughter,  who  is 
married,  has  3  children,  and  lives  in 
Phoenixville.  She  also  has  two  sons,  one 
who  works  for  the  Bank  of  Korea  in 
Seoul,  and  the  other  works  for  General 
Electric  in  Japan.  Both  boys  will  be 
home  for  Xmas  this  year.  Last  year 
Edna  went  to  Korea  and  visited  them  for 
two  "too  short"  weeks.  "Twas  a  wonderful 
trip."  Son.  Carl,  graduated  from  Bucknell, 
Albert  from  Penn  State,  and  June,  from 
Stroudsburg  Teachers  College.  Carl  was 
in  the  Navy  and  as  an  interpreter  was  in 
the  first  group  to  go  to  Korea.  He  has 
worked  in  several  war  agencies  and  has 
had  five  trips  to  Korea.  Edna  trips 
around  most  week-ends,  so  I'm  sure  she'll 
be  back  for  our  reunion.

3,  and  David  Deleth.  age  4  months,  and 
husband.  Dr.  Daniel  Shupe,  a  dentist  in 
Frostburg,  Md..  and  that  he  enjoyed 
all  of  it.  "Pud"  spent  3  years  in  the  army. 
In  1922,  he  married  Lorraine  Brown  and 
has  been  very  happy  ever  since.  He  went 
to  Baltimore  to  work  for  Bethlehem  Steel.

In  1934,  he  entered  the  selling  field,  and 
has  been  a  salesman  ever  since.  Just  about 
now  he  is  much  interested  in  retirement. 
"Pud"  says  he  hasn't  many  hobbies,  but 
manages  to  keep  the  grass  cut,  hedge 
trimmed,  and  the  lawn  bench  anchored  in 
summer,  sings  with  the  church  choir,  and 
loves  sports  on  TV.  He  is  looking  for- 
ward to  seeing"  us  in  June. 

Please  keep  the  tape  moving  and  as

Another  year  has  ended  and  here  are 
my  wishes  for  this  new  one.  May  it  hold 
the  wishes  of  each  and  every  one  of  you 
and,  incidentally,  one  of  mine  is  that  many 
many  more  of  you  write  me  of  your  recent 
doings.  If  you  haven't  made  a  resolution 
make  one  now,  and  act  on  it. 

I  had  a  very  nice  and  interesting  report 
from  Ethel  Remaly  ( Mrs.  Fred  Cross- 
land).  The  Crosslands  live  at  1209  Ave- 
nue P,  Brooklyn  29,  N.  Y.,  where  Fred 
is  pastor  of  the  Advent  Lutheran  Church. 
They  have  lived  in  Brooklyn  since  1924 
and  have  served  the  parish  for  32  years, 
during  which  time  a  new  church  building 
and  parsonage  have  been  built.  Ethel 
says  "we  find  work  here  most  interesting 
and  stimulating."  The  Crosslands  have 
two  sons — Dr.  Fred  E.  Crossland,  assis- 
tant secretary  of  New  York  University 
and  director  of  the  Bureau  of  Public  Oc- 
casions; and  Reverend  Richard  I.  Cross- 
land,  pastor  of  Atonement  Lutheran 
Church,  Saugerties.  N.  Y. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Arch  Kline  (Jessie  Potts) 
spent  the  holidays  in  Florida — having  a 
three  week  vacation. 

I  note  that  Evelyn  and  Chet  Leaber 
have  a  new  address — Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ches- 
ter R.  Leaber,  32  Washington  Square 
West,   New   York   11,   N.   Y. 

Guess  that  is  my  contribution  for  this 
issue.  Who  is  going  to  help  make  up  the 
next   one?

The  Bucknell  family  mourns  the  loss 
of  Dr.  Edwin  E.  Aubrey  who  died  Sep- 
tember 10  in  Philadelphia.  Ed,  a  native  of 
Glasgow,  Scotland,  has  had  a  distin- 
guished career  as  a  theological  teacher 
and  writer.  Graduating  from  Bucknell  in 
1919  where  he  was  a  member  of  Delta 
Sigma  (now  Delta  LTpsilon),  he  went  on 
to  the  University  of  Chicago  where  he 
earned  the  master  of  arts,  bachelor  of  di- 
vinity, and  doctor  of  philosophy  degrees. 

His  teaching  career  included  service  at 
Union  Theological  College,  Chicago  ; 
Carlton  College,  Northfield,  Minn.,  and 
Vassar  College,  Poughkeepsie,  N.  Y.  He 
left  Chicago  to  become  president  of 
Crozer  Theological  Seminary.  In  1939, 
Bucknell  University  awarded  h  i  m  an 
honorary  doctor  of  divinity  degree  and 
in  1944  he  was  elected  a  trustee  of  the 
University.  In  1949  he  joined  the  Uni- 
versity of  Pennsylvania  staff  and  estab- 
lished the  school's  department  of  religious 
thought,  an  assignment  he  filled  until  his 
death.  The  University  family  and  his 
classmates  extend  deep  sympathy  to  his 
wife,  the  former  Gladys  Topping:  a  son, 
Donald  T.,  '52;  and  a  daughter,  Nancy, 
now  Mrs.  B.  C.  Poland,  of  Lincoln,  Neb. 

Dr.  Dallas  M.  VanHorn  died  Septem- 
ber 18,  1956,  in  the  General  Hospital  of 
Rochester,  N.  Y.,  of  a  cancer  ailment. 
Following  his   graduation   from   the   Uni- 


versity of  Pennsylvania  Dental  School, 
he  was  associated  with  the  former  Roch- 
ester Dental  Dispensary,  later  opened  offi- 
ces for  his  private  practice  and  continued 
it  until  the  last  few  months  prior  to  his 
death.  He  is  survived  by  a  son,  John,  a 
sister  and  a  brother.  Our  sympathy  is 
extended  to  them. 

Dr.  Benjamin  Markowitz  died  on  Sep- 
tember 17.  He  graduated  as  an  M.ID. 
from  Loyola  University  of  Chicago  in 
1922,  and  practiced  in  Chicago  until  1929, 
then  moved  to  Bloomington,  111.,  where 
he  was  a  specialist  in  pathology  and  diag- 
nosis until  his  death.  He  had  served  as 
president  of  the  North  Central  Medical 
Association  and  as  president  of  the  Illi- 
nois Society  of  Pathologists.  Mark  was 
a  faithful  alumnus  and  attended  our  35th 
class  reunion  in  1954.  Our  sympathy  goes 
out  to  his  family  which  includes  his  wife; 
son,  Robert;  daughter,  Mrs.  I.  N.  Lebow; 
and  his  brother,  Rabbi  Samuel  H.  '14.

like  a  cook's  tour.  In  Europe,  he  toured 
England,  France,  Belgium,  Italy,  Ger- 
many, Norway,  Denmark,  Sweden,  Po-

A  letter  from  John  J.  Downey,  princi- 
pal of  the  J.  W.  Cooper  High  School, 
Shenandoah,  says  that  he  is  looking  for- 
ward to  our  twenty-fifth  reunion  next 
June  and  that  he  and  the  wife  and  chil- 
dren will  be  there. 

Our  class  president  Frank  Koehler  has 
been  receiving  letters  of  acceptance  to 
committees  from  different  class  members. 
Here  are  parts  of  some  of  them: 

Marian  E.  Ash  (Mrs.  Warren  J.  Mc- 
Clain)  says  she  will  contact  members  and 
will  do  her  best  to  be  there. 

Jim  Stevenson,  publisher  of  the  Titus- 
ville  Herald,  Titusville,  says  "Dear  Frank: 

1  really  should  say  No  to  the  reunion 
book  assignment  because  I  am  up  to  my 
ears  in  all  sorts  of  projects.  However,  if 
everybody  had  a  negative  attitude  vve 
wouldn't  have  a  reunion,  so  herewith  is 
my  acceptance. 

Let  me  know  where  we  start." 

Victor  H.  Oleyar,  of  the  Evening  Record, 
Lansford,  "Dear  Frank:  Your  voice  from 
the  dead  was  a  welcome  surprise!  But  to 
saddle  me  with  a  yearbook  job— Yipes!! 
However,  I  guess  there's  nothing  for  me 
to  do  but  accept.  I  hope  I'll  be  able  to 
muddle  through  somehow. 

Haven't  been  back  to  Bucknell  since 
before  World  War  IL  Had  all  plans 
made  to  get  back  for  the  20th  reunion,  but 
that  weekend  the  editor  had  to  take  sick. 

I've  been  down  at  this  paper  since  July 

2  of  this  year,  terminating  a  19-year 
stretch  with  the  Hasleton  Plain  Speaker  at 
that  time." 

William  J.  Curnow  of  Pittsburgh,  "Dear 
Frank:  After  these  several  years  and  hav- 
ing lost  contact  with  you,  I  was  delighted 
to  receive  your  letter,  asking  me  to  serve 
as  an  assistant  editor  to  Jim  Stevenson. 
You  can  be  sure  that  I  will  do  everything 
I  can  to  make  this  twenty-fifth  reunion  a 
success  and  I  am  looking  forward  to  see- 
ing both  you  and  Jim  at  Homecoming, 
so  that  we  can  work  out  further  details. 

It  startles  me  sometimes  the  way  time 
keeps  grinding  away  and,  in  the  process 
of  this  business  of  making  a  living,  how 
one  loses  contact  with  people  like  your- 
self, who  were  almost  daily  acquaintances 
at  one  time.  I  suppose  that  is  the  process 
of  living,  but  maybe  we  can  turn  the 
clock  back  a  wee  bit  when  we  get  together 
for  our  reunion  next  year."

Betty  Thayer  Ward  writes  from  Pasa- 
dena, Calif.,  "I'm  a  homemaker  with  a 
fourth-grade  brunette  daughter  and  a  first- 
grade  blonde  gal.  Had  the  pleasure  of 
seeing  Dot  Beistle  Miller  and  her  hus- 
band, Dave,  here  last  week.  Also  Lou  '31, 
and  Kitty  Reese  Carhsle  have  visited  us 
a  couple  of  times  during  the  last  four 
years.  It's  good  to  see  and  remember  old 
friends."

clay Farm,  Haddonfield,  N.  J." 

Steve  Windes  says  "Had  a  grand  time 
at  Bucknell  Homecoming  last  month.  That 
new  swim  pool  is  a  knock-out!  Took  color 
movies  and  in  general  acted  like  'an  ole 
grad.'  Hope  our  oldest  boy  (of  3)  will 
turn  to  Bucknell  year  after  next.  Best 
regards  to  you  all."

May  I  wish  you  all  a  very  happy  and 
prosperous  New  Year.  Please  send  me 
any  class  news  you  may  have  so  we  can 
see  our  class  in  every  issue  —  haven't 
missed  one  yet. 

Congratulations  are  in  order  to  a  new 
class  grandmother.  Quoting  from  a  let- 
ter written  by  Mrs.  Phillip  H.  Ihrig  CVir- 
ginia  M.  Shupe),  "Our  grandson,  Mark 
H.  Ihrig,  Jr.,  was  born  September  20,  1956, 
in  Johnstown.  His  great  uncle.  Dr.  D. 
Ralston  Shupe  '39  brought  him  into  the 
world."  How  many  other  grandparents 
are  there  in  our  class?  Is  Virginia  the 
first? 

As  Bill  and  I  left  the  Army-Navy  game 
we  bunked  into  a  Bucknellian.  I  think  it 
was  Charles  Fox  '31,  but  am  not  sure — 
we  were  rushing  for  the  New  York  train 
— but  we  did  say  hello!  Wish  who  ever 
it  was  would  let  me  know. 

Carol  I.  Shaw  Freeman  '37,  and  her  hus- 
band Carl  Freeman,  Columbia  '33,  became 
the  parents  of  Carol  on  Oct.  4,  1956.  I 
was  very  pleased  as  Carol  was  one  of  my 
bridesmaids  back  in  June  1936.  The  Free- 
mans  live  at  299  Beacon  Street,  Boston 
16,  Mass. 

I  hope  many  of  you  are  plannin.g  vaca- 
tions now  so  you  can  make  Alumni  week- 


end in  June.  If  I  am  not  there  it  will  be 
because  our  daughter,  Ruth  Gail,  will  be 
graduating,  that  Sunday,  from  Cathedral 
School  of  St.  Mary  in  Garden  City,  N.  Y. 
Perhaps  one  of  you  will  volunteer  to  let 
me  know  who  returns,  etc.  May  I  sug- 
gest if  you  plan  to  be  back  in  June  you 
pack  a  bathing  suit — the  Freas-Rooke  pool 
looks  just  wonderful!

After  our  wonderful  Class  Reunion  in 
June,  it  was  somewhat  of  a  disappoint- 
ment that  more  members  could  not  at- 
tend the  meeting  held  on  Saturday  morn- 
ing of  Homecoming.  However,  those 
present  enjoyed  seeing"  the  excellent  col- 
ored movie  Ed  Reisman  took  of  the  Re- 
union. Two  class  members  who  were  un- 
able to  attend  the  Reunion  were  there  and 
enjoyed  seeing  the  filmed  version  of  the 
event.  They  were:  Sally  Keiper  Kistler 
with  her  husband  and  six-year-old  son,  of 
Rock  Glen,  and  Bill  "Bud"  Wilkinson  with 
his  wife  Dorothy  Levers  Wilkinson  and

Their  daughter,  Suzanne,  will  be  a  pro- 
spective freshman  at  Bucknell  next  year.

JANUARY     1957 


It  is  with  regret  that  we  report  the 
sudden  and  untimely  death  of  John  J. 
Sitarsky  on  November  2.  At  our  Reunion 
in  June  several  classmates  expressed  re- 
gret at  not  seeing  him.  He  had  served 
as  recreational  supervisor  at  the  Lewis- 
burg  Federal  Penitentiary  since  1947  and 
had  been  instrumental  in  expanding  the 
recreational  facilities  for  the  inmates. 
Coming  to  Bucknell  in  '32,  John  became 
one  of  the  most  active  athletes  in  the  uni- 
versity's history.  Upon  graduation,  he  re- 
turned to  our  alma  mater  as  frosh  varsity 
coach  in  football  and  basketball.  How- 
ever, due  to  injuries  received  in  World 
War  II,  it  seemed  advisable  for  him  to 
give  up  collegiate  coaching  duties.  In  his 
honor,  the  inmates  of  the  penitentiary  have 
established  an  annual  athletic  award  to  be 
known  as  The  John  Sitarsky  Trophy.  Our 
sympathy  is  extended  to  his  wife  and  Ij-

We  didn't  have  any  news  from  you  last

his  nickname  during  his  college  days  was 
"Major",  due  to  his  affiliation  with  the 
Pennsylvania  National  Guard,  this  new 
rank  seems  to  be  a  fulfillment  of  predic- 
tions.    Congratulations!

Did  anyone  miss  this  column  in  the 
last  issue?  So  did  L  What  could  be  more 
frustrating  to  a  "budding"  reporter  than 
to  find  himself  vi'ithout  a  single  item  to 
report?  More  distressing,  perhaps,  would 
be  to  have  more  news  than  printing  space. 
Apparently  there  is  no  danger  of  the  lat- 
ter. I  am  glad,  though,  to  be  able  to  re- 
port a  new  service  by  Mrs.  Frank  A. 
Grisanti  (Dorothy  Stolzenberg ) .  She  has 
been  elected  secretary  of  the  Bucknell 
Alumni  Club  of  Cleveland.  And  a  mar- 
velous new  opportunity,  it  seems  to  me, 
has  come  to  the  Robert  E.  La  Croix  fam- 
ily for  Mary  Follmer  La  Croix  writes: 
"The  Robert  E.  La  Croix's  and  sons, 
Ricky  and  Bobby,  are  living  at  the  Park

month  on  a  composite  of  five  odd  jobs:

and  translator,  I  have  secured  a  wonder- 
ful position.  I'll  be  a  teacher  in  a  pri- 
vate school  for  French  and  Swiss  in 
Switzerland.  I  will  teach  English,  his- 
tory, and  Latin,  and  receive  a  wealth  of

is  comparatively  good,  the  work  challeng- 
ing, and  the  extra  duties  limited."  Her

ADMISSION  TO  COLLEGE  —  Current 
periodicals  are  giving  wide  coverage  to  the 
complicated  problems  of  admission  to  college 
(Time  Magazine,  Feb.  4,  1957.  Xew  York 
World-Telegram,  Feb.  5,  1957,  etc.).  The 
post-war  situation  has  been  characterized  by 
an  increase  in  the  number  of  applicants  that 
has  forced  on  colleges  a  considerable  change 
in  admission  procedures.  In  addition,  the 
fact  that,  beginning  with  the  Class  of  1955, 
the  College  Entrance  E.xamination  Board  no 
longer  required  a  prospective  student  to 
indicate  whether  a  csllege  was  his  first, 
second,  or  third  choice,  made  it  impossible 
to  determine  whether  an  applicant  reallj' 
intended  to  come  to  Bucknell  or  was  apply- 
ing here  as  insurance  against  not  getting 
admitted  somewhere  else.  The  number  ac- 
cepted, therefore,  had  to  be  much  larger  to 
ensure  an  entering  class  of  the  size  sought. 
The  real  problem  of  admissions  is  clearly 
illustrated  by  the  following  figures  showing 
the  number  of  applicants,  the  number  ac- 
cepted and  the  number  actually  matriculated 
at  Bucknell  for  the  past  few  years :

How  to  Buy  a  Pattern  at  Macy's 

(This  is  not  for  women) 

Man,  have  you  bought  a  pattern  at  Macy's 
lately?  If  you're  still  trying  to  find  the 
answer  to  the  question,  "Isn't  it  amazing 
what  women  would  rather  have  than  mon- 
ey?" you  might  do  worse  than  visiting 
Macy's  pattern  department. 

Assuming  you  can  find  Macy's,  you  can 
find  the  pattern  department  after  asking  only 
6  persons  (provided  you  come  in  the  proper 
front  door,  otherwise,  8  is  about  par  for  the 
course).  When  you  reach  the  department, 
don't  expect  to  see  patterns.  What  you  will 
see  is  a  set  of  catalogues  (about  120,  pictur- 
ing and  describing  the  patterns  produced  by 
5  leading  manufacturers).  When  you  arrive, 
each  catalogue  will  be  manned  (oops- 
womanned)  by  an  eager  shopper.  If  you 
are  buying  your  pattern  on  a  rainy  day,  there 
will  be  2  additional  eager  shoppers  behind 
each  eager  shopper  No.  1. 

Which  of  the  lines  to  get  into  and  which 
of  the  catalogues  to  look  at  ?  This  I  would- 
n't know  but  maybe  women  know.  If  you 
ask  one  of  the  four  clerks  on  duty  for  ad- 
vice, you  soon  learn  that  they  are  on  duty 
to  deliver  the  pattern  you  select,  not  to  help 
you  select  it. 

After  examining  as  many  catalogues  as 
possible  you  may  find  what  you  want.  In 
that  case,  you  write  the  pattern  number  on 
a  slip  of  paper  and  take  it  to  one  of  the 
clerks.  If  it  is  in  stock  you  get  it  promptly, 
pay  for  it  and  leave  triumphantly.  Elasped 
time :  one  hour  and  Z2  minutes. 

In  my  case,  it  didn't  work  out  that  way. 
The  pattern  I  wanted  was  out  of  stock. 


SPOT 


On  my  return  to  Lewisburg,  I  dropped  in 
at  one  of  the  shops  on  Market  Street  and 
picked  up  the  item  in  less  than  5  minutes. 


Everybody  likes  to  read  the  other  fellow's 
mail.  That  rare  opportunity  comes  to  us 
whenever  a  student  writes  a  post  card  and 
fails  to  fill  in  the  outgoing  address  side  of 
the  card.  When  this  occurs  the  post  office 
in  Roberts  Hall  posts  the  card  on  the  bul- 
letin board  for  all  to  read  in  the  hope  that 
the  forgetful  student  will  see  the  message  he 
has  written  and  supply  the  missing  address. 

We  claim  that  the  two  messages  that 
follow  are  representative  of  thousands  of 
letters  home  that  have  been  written  by  gen- 
eration after  generation  of  college  students. 
Do  you  agree? 

"Dear  Mom  and  Dad ; 

How  are  you,  I  am  fine  and  completely 
over  my  cold.  I  went  to  practice  yesterday 
and  will  go  today.  It  is  pretty  nice  today 
and  warm.  I  have  a  frat  meeting  tonight. 
I  will  call  Friday  night.  I  hope  Dad  is 
feeling  fine  and  his  ulcer  isn't  bothering 
him.  Yesterday  I  guess  parents  got  mid- 
semester  marks  (only  D's  and  F's)  because 
last  night  a  barrage  of  long  distance  phone 
calls  came  to  the  boys  in  the  house  from 
their  irate  parents.  I'm  glad  I  didn't  get 
any  and  warrant  an  irate  phone  call.  C'es 
La  Vie !  Everything  is  fine,  am  looking 
forward  to  Xmas  vacation.  Love  to  Joan. 
Your  boy, 

Stevie" 
"Dear  Dad  and  Mom 

I  received  the  check  and  laundry  box  this 
a.  m.  and  the  fin  yesterday.  Thanks !  I 
wrote  Kelley  last  Sat.  p.  m.  for  the  A.  F. 
-\cademy.  Do  you  think  it  wise  to  write 
him  again  about  West  Point.  I  think  I 
could  get  in  there  if  I  had  an  appointment. 
I'm  going  to  have  my  right  eye  checked 
tomorrow.  It  might  be  going  bad. 
Love, 

DOPEV 

P.S.    How  about  some  food!" 


Of  the  estimated  $4.9  billions  given  by 
individuals  to  philanthropy  in  the  United 
States  _in  1953  (latest  figures  available) 
about  53%  went  to  religion  and  about  9% 
to  education. 

In  addition  to  their  money  gifts  at  least 
35  million  volunteers — one  in  very  five  per- 
sons —  gave  of  their  time  and  talent  to 
philanthropic  causes  in  1956.  It  is  estimated 
there  were  three  million  volunteer  workers 
in  1925. 


There  is  plenty  of  evidence  that  Alumni 
have  not  only  admired,  but  have  read,  the 
Timely  brochure  distributed  to  all  Alumni 
last  December.  One  alumnus,  John  Worth 
'37,  has  proven  himself  to  be  a  master  mathe- 
matician by  challenging  Buck  Shott's  esti- 
mate of  235  years  required  to  match  Prince- 
ton's Alumni  Fund  at  our  present  rate  of 
increase.  Using  the  formula  Y=ar''",  John 
has  come  up  with  the  answer  of  606  years. 
Whether  it  be  606  or  235  years,  we  are  sure 
the  time  can  be  shortened  by  cutting  down 
the  number  of  LYBUNTS  (those  who  gave 
Last  Year  BUt  Not  This.)

Vote  in  April 


On  page  3  you  will  find  the  names,  pic- 
tures and  biographical  records  of  the  three 
candidates  chosen  to  stand  for  election  as 
Alumni  Trustee  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
Bucknell  University.  One  is  to  be  elected 
by  the  general  alumni  body  m  April  for  a 
term  of  five  years. 

The  candidates  were  carefully  chosen  from 
a  larger  group  of  nominees  suggested  by 
local  alumni  clubs,  class  presidents,  class 
reporters,  fund  managers,  members  of  the 
Board  of  Directors  and  the  Alumni  Fund 
Committee,  as  well  as  former  alumni  trustees 
and  former  presidents  of  The  General  Alum- 
ni Association.  Well  over  500  Alumni  were 
canvassed  for  suggestions.  Also,  each  issue 
of  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS  carried 
a  time-table  of  the  election  procedure  and  in 
the  September  issue  all  alumni  were  urged 
to  suggest  names  of  persons  to  be  considered 
for  nomination.  The  response  was  excellent, 
but  unfortunately,  a  few  alumni  thought  we 
were  running  a  popularity  contest  and  that 
a  large  number  of  suggestions  for  a  single 
individual  would  be  tantamount  to  nomina- 
tion of  that  person.  These  few  alumni  over- 
looked the  provision  in  the  by-laws  that 
requires  the  nominating  committee  to  make 
its  selection  solely  on  the  record  of  achieve- 
ment each  prospective  nominee  is  invited  to 
submit. 

After  all  suggested  candidates  have  been 
listed,  the  Alumni  Office  prepares  a  bio- 
graphical record  of  each  candidate  and  if 
time  permits,  submits  the  record  to  the 
candidate  for  corrections  and  additions.  The 
completed  biographies  are  examined  and 
discussed  by  the  Committee  for  the  Selection 
of  Alumni  Trustee  Candidates,  following 
which  each  committee  member  by  secret 
ballot  records  first,  second,  third,  fourth,  and 
fifth  choices.  By  weighing  the  choices  on 
all  ballots  the  three  top  candidates  emerge. 
The  candidates  with  their  pictures  and  bio- 
graphical records,  then  appear  in  the  March 
issue  of  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS, 
and  then  in  April  every  alumnus  with  a 
known  address  receives  a  postage-free  ballot 
for  voting. 

Each  year  a  number  of  alumni  do  not 
vote  because  they  "do  not  know  the  candi- 
dates personally."  It  is  of  course  unfortunate 
that  in  our  alumni  groups,  spread  all  over 
the  world  and  from  the  classes  of  the  1890's 
down  to  the  present  days,  we  cannot  know 
every  member  personally.  That's  why  the 
biographies  are  published  in  THE  BUCK- 
NELL ALUMNUS.  Voters  in  many  fed- 
eral and  municipal  elections  are  unacquainted 
with  their  candidates  for  public  office  but  it 
seldom  deters  them  from  voting.  So  get 
acquainted  with  your  candidates  through  the 
biographies  printed  on  page  3  and  be  pre- 
pared to  vote  in  April. 

Alumni  now  serving  on  the  Board  of 
Trustees  through  election  of  that  body,  but 
who  were  originally  nominated  for  member- 
ship by  The  General  Alumni  Association, 
include :  Dr.  Harvey  F.  Smith  '94,  Robert  L. 
Rooke  '13,  Dr.  Mary  B.  Harris  '94,  Berkeley 
V.  Hastings  '13,  Dr.  Mary  M.  Wolfe  '96, 
William  R.  White  '26,  and  Andrew  R. 
Mathieson  '20. 

Alumni  now  serving  on  the  Board  of 
Trustees,  on  nomination  by  The  General 
Alumni  Association  are ;  Dr.  Emma  E.  Dil- 
lon 'IS  (1957);  Dr.  Roy  E.  Nicodemus  '25 
(1958);  John  C.  Decker,  Esq.  '36  (1959), 
Dr.  Franklin  D.  Jones  '19  (1960),  and  Dr. 
Clair  G.  Spangler  '25  (1961).  History  has 
supplied  ample  evidence  that  the  members 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  from  whatever 
source  selected,  serve  not  the  Trustees,  nor 
the  Alumni  Association,  but  the  University, 
which  is  as  it  should  be. 

You  are  urged  to  exercise  your  prerogative 
to  vote  in  a  democratic  election  when  you 
receive    your    ballot    in    April.      The    ballot

J.  Gurney  Sholl  '10  Honored 

Churchmen  and  civic  leaders  joined  with 
the  congregation  of  the  First  Baptist  Church 
of  Pitman,  N.  J.,  to  honor  John  Gurney 
Sholl  at  the  church's  annual  dinner  and 
congregational  meeting,   December  5,   1956. 

The  program  which  had  been  announced 
as  "Achievement  Night''  suddenly  shifted  to 
a  "This  Is  Your  Life"  theme  when  Gurney 
was  called  to  the  platform.  This  was  the 
first  of  a  series  of  surprises,  many  of  which 
involved  Bucknell  and  Bucknellians. 

Events  and  achievements  in  his  life  were 
recalled  by  boyhood  friends,  family,  Buck- 
nellians, newspaper  associates  and  those  who 
served  with  him  in  the  New  Jersey  Legis- 
lature, first  in  the  Assembly  and  later  in  the 
Senate. 

Representing  the  Sholl  family  were  his 
wife.  Ruby  Pierson  Sholl  '10,  his  two  sisters, 
Mary  Sholl  Sherman  '22  and  Dorothy  Sholl 
'23,  "two  of  his  sons.  Dr.  John  G.  Sholl  '11 
and  Donald  H.  Sholl  '42.  The  third  son, 
Calvin  Sholl  '45,  unable  to  be  present,  an- 
nounced his  reason  by  loud-speaker  tele- 
phone ;  the  imminent  arrival  of  Gurney 's 
thirteenth  grandchild. 

Kenneth  W.  Slifer  '26,  former  president  of 
the  Bucknell  University  General  Alumni 
Association,  brought  greetings  both  from 
Bucknell  and  from  the  Central  Baptist 
Church  in  Woodbury,  N.  J.  Ken  recounted 
an  amusing  campus  incident  told  to  him  by 
Gurney's  college  classmate  Paul  Abraham  '10. 

Pitman's  mayor,  William  C.  Hall,  pre- 
sented a  citation  from  the  borough  council 
for  Gurney's  many  years  of  public  life  and 
service  to  his  borough  and  to  his  church. 

One  high-point  of  the  evening  was  the 
reading  of  a  telegram  from  President  Eisen- 
hower congratulating  Gurney  on  the  honors 
being  paid  to  him.  Another  was  a  presenta- 
tion by  Dr.  Harold  Stoddard  of  Newark, 
N.  J.,  of  a  Certificate  of  Merit  of  the  Baptist 
Publication  Society,  an  award  given  only  to 
outstanding  Baptist  laymen  who  have  been 
working  for  more  than  35  years  in  teaching 
and  supervision  fields. 

Before  the  evening  was  over,  some  28 
friends,  relatives  and  local  and  State  oflScials 
had  helped  to  cover  the  colorful  life  that 
Gurney  has  experienced  as  newspaperman, 
churchman  and  legislator. 

Congratulations,  Gurney,  from  your  class- 
mates.

AMONG  THE  CLUBS. 


CINCINNATI— A  small  group  of  loyal 
alumni  had  the  pleasure  of  having  William 
S.  Liming  '33.  past  president  of  The  General 
Alumni  Association,  as  their  guest  speaker 
at  a  meeting  on  January  11  at  the  Cincinnati 
Club  in  Cincinnati,  Ohio.  His  fascinating 
commentary  of  the  latest  developments  and 
accomplishments  on  the  campus  was  sup- 
plemented with  some  very  recent  and  vivid 
color  pictures.  These  included  aerial  views 
of  the  new  quadrangle,  the  campus,  Lewis- 
burg  and  Buffalo  \'alley.  Bill  gave  the  at- 
tending alumni  the  nearest  substitute  for  a 
Homecoming  visit  by  means  of  colored  pic- 
tures of  the  1956  Homecoming  parade  and 
football  game.  Tlie  action  shots  of  the  game 
were  excellent.  The  outcome  of  the  game 
was  not  known  until  the  last  shot  which 
showed  the  score  board  with  a  loss  for 
Bucknell !  Bill  Liming  and  those  on  the 
campus  who  took  the  pictures,  made  a  very 
effective  presentation  at  this  meeting. 

The  Rev.  Mr.  E.  S.  Comrey  00  gave  a 
very  interesting  description  of  life  at  Buck- 
nell before  the  turn  of  the  century  in  con- 
trast to  what  it  is  today. 

Mr,  Leslie  H.  Berk  '34,  described  plans 
for  the  ne.xt  meeting  to  be  held  on  March  20, 
1957.  Those  who  missed  our  last  meeting 
will  again  have  the  opportunity  of  hearing 
Bill  Liming.  Local  alumni  will  receive  more 
details  by  mail.

DANVILLE — Thirty-nine  members  and 
guests  of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of  Dan- 
ville met  on  February  4  at  the  Pine  Barn 
Inn  in  Danville  to  celebrate  Bucknell's  111th 
birthday.  A  fine  meal  with  birthday  cake 
as  dessert  was  enjoyed  by  all. 

Speakers  at  the  dinner  meeting  were  Dr. 
Roy  E.  Xicodemus  '25,  a  member  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees  at  Bucknell  and  chairman 
of  the  ninth  annual  alumni  fund,  and  Mr. 
Emil  J.  Polak  ^L.^.  '51,  associate  professor 
of  mathematics  atid  astronomy  at  the  Uni- 
versity. Dr.  Xicodemus  spoke  briefly  on 
the  progress  of  the  University  in  the  past 
and  what  Bucknell  expects  to  accomplish  in 
the  next  ten  years.  Professor  Polak  spoke 
on  the  Science  Fair  to  be  held  this  year  at 
Bucknell  and  the  reasons  why  such  a  pro- 
gram is  a  stimulant  toward  reducing  the 
critical  shortage  of  engineers  and  scientists

BU   Cagers  Shoot  for   School 
Mark 


Bison  Joe  Baccelli  uncorks  left-handed  hook  over 
head  of  W.  Virginia  Tech's  Bob  Cantley  in  Hofstra 
Tournament. 


Not  since  the  1946-47  season  had  a 
Bucknell  basketball  team  won  as  many  as 
11  games.  The  current  squad  has  already 
captured  that  many.  Never  in  the  Univer- 
sity's 62-year  court  history  has  an  Orange 
and  Blue  five  gained  15  victories.  As  this 
is  written  the  Bisons  have  nine  chances  to 
pick  up  four  wins  and  surpass  all  previous 
marks.  Incidentally,  the  last  BU  combin- 
ation to  land  14  games  played  during  the 
1927-28  campaign.    It's  been  a  long  time. 

Starting  with  successive  conquests  of 
Cornell,  Gettysburg,  Lehigh,  Colgate  and 
Delaware,  the  Herd  entered  the  Hofstra 
Christmas  Tournament  as  co-favorites  to 
cop  the  title.  They  lived  up  to  expecta- 
tions bv  going  to  the  finals  after  trouncing 
Wagner,  83-65,  and  Cortland  State,  94-67. 
The  latter  contest  still  represents  Buck- 
nell's  finest  offensive  effort  of  the  season. 
Clicking  on  40  of  72  shots  from  scrim- 
mage, the  Herd  rolled  home  behind  Joe 
Baccelli's  22  points.  The  next  night,  how- 
ever, found  the  Bisons  at  their  most  frigid. 
Notching  only  18  of  1Z  tosses  at  the  hoop, 
they  fell  before  a  relentless  West  Virginia 
Tech  attack,  88-51,  and  wound  up  with  the 
tournament's  consolation  cup.  Not  bad 
for  a  team  that  had  lost  two  out  of  two 
at  Hofstra  the  year  before. 

The  first  tilt  of  1957  saw  Bucknell  treat 
Hofstra  inhospitably  at  Davis  Gym, 
trampling  the  Flying  Dutchmen,  71-41,  as 
Baccelli  and  Hal  Danzig  paced  the  point- 
makers  with  14  apiece.  A  trip  to  Hunt- 
ingdon netted  a  not-too-difftcult  67-50 
walloping  of  Juniata.  Once  again  Baccelli 
led  the  way  with  17  markers. 

After  registering  nine  triumphs  the 
Bisons  tasted  their  second  defeat  in  Pitt's 
refrigerated  field  house,  64-49.  Unfortun- 
ately, the  Orange  and  Blue's  shooting 
was  even  colder  than  the  temperature  in 
the  second  half,  as  the  Panthers  broke  up 
a  tight  struggle  and  breezed  home  in  front. 
Pitt's  highly-touted  Don  Hennon  proved 
his  worth  to  the  visitors  from  Lewisburg 
with  18  valuable  points  when  they  were 
needed  most.  Danzig's  13  was  high  for 
BU. 

Two  days  later  coach  Ben  Kribbs  sent 
his  boys  against  Lafayette  before  a  capa- 
city crowd  at  Davis  Gym.  The  Bucknel- 
lians,   thanks  to  Danzig's   rebounding,   he 

6 


were  beaten,  52-34.  Still  more  improve- 
ment was  noted,  however,  as  Jones  dupli- 
cated his  diving  success;  Gene  Meenan, 
New  York  City,  triumphed  in  the  200- 
yard  breaststroke  competition;  Ken  Myr- 
back.  New  Rochelle,  N.  Y.,  licked  the 
Red  Devils'  220-yard  freestylers;  and  the 
Herd's  400-yard  medley  relay  team,  com- 
posed of  Barrett,  Meenan,  Schreiber  and 
Bruce  Hutchinson,  sophomore  from  Rye, 
N.  Y.,  emerged  on  top. 

At  this  writing  the  Bisons  have  two 
more  meets,  both  carded  for  the  Buck- 
nell pool.  Gettysburg  and  Delaware  are 
the  respective  foes. 


latched  onto  18,  and  Baccelli's  marksman- 
ship, he  hit  for  25  points,  stayed  with  the 
favored  Leopards  until  the  final  ten  min- 
utes. The  turning  point  came  when  Dan- 
zig was  benched  with  four  personals.  Miss- 
ing his  backboard  work  and  defensive  skill 
the  Herd  floundered  and  dropped  a  68-60 
decision.  Baccelli,  having  a  remarkable 
senior  year,  was  connecting  from  long 
range  with  sets  and  looping  in  right  and 
left-handed  hooks  at  the  end  of  sizzling 
drives.  He's  been  one  of  two  key  men  for 
Kribbs — the  other  being  Danzig.  The  lat- 
ter, only  a  sophomore,  has  tremendous 
potential  and  could  develop  into  some- 
thing special  before  he  draws  his  diploma, 
Albright  was  a  welcome  guest  at  Buck- 
nell and  absorbed  the  anticipated  76-59 
drubbing.  Danzig  enjoyed  his  most  pro- 
ductive night  of  the  campaign,  canning  28 
points,  to  deadlock  Marty  Tannenbaum  for 
individual  game  high  honors.  Marty's  28 
came  in  the  opener  against  Cornell.  Dick 
Kniffin,  another  soph,  responded  favorably 
to  his  initial  starting  assignment  and 
racked  up  21.  Though  inclined  to  Ije  er- 
ratic, Kniffin  has  a  sharp  eye  from  the 
outside,  either  jumping  or  setting. 

The  triumph  that  jacked  the  Herd's 
mark  up  to  11-3  was  the  prize  achieve- 
ment of  the  winter.  A  74-68  whipping  of 
Muhlenberg  at  Allentown  snapped  a  string 
of  18  consecutive  losses  to  the  Mules  that 
spanned  a  decade.  It  was  a  thrilling  tus- 
sle that  was  last  tied  at  57-57.  The  Bisons 
then  proceeded  to  tally  13  of  the  next  15 
points  and  it  was  all  over.  Danzig  and 
Tannenbaum  topped  the  scorers  with  18 
and  17  counters,  respectively,  but  it  was 
a  brilliant  team  effort  that  paid  off. 

Final  examinations  then  intervened,  fol- 
lowed by  a  snowstorm  that  stranded  the 
team  in  Easton  and  caused  postpone- 
ment of  the  Rutgers  game.  Two  weeks 
had  passed  when  Bucknell  got  another 
crack  at  Lafayette.  The  Bisons,  despite 
being  rusty,  grabbed  an  early  23-17  edge, 
then  faded  badly  as  the  Leopards  snarled 
back  and  romped  away  to  an  87-65  verdict. 
Baccelli's  16  points  kept  Herd  hopes  alive 
for  30  minutes,  but  there  was  no  denying 
the  power-laden  Leopards  on  their  own 
court.  This  time  they  were  even  meaner 
than  they'd  been  in  Lev/isburg,  running 
their  domination  of  BLT  to  25  straight 
games.  Any  doubts  about  next  year's 
project?

Herd  Wrestlers  Win  One 
of  Three 

A  21-13  conquest  of  Lycoming  and  loss- 
es to  Lafayette  and  Muhlenberg  by  scores 
of  21-8  and  21-13,  respectively,  marked  the 
start  of  Bucknell's  1957  wrestling  cam- 
paign. 

Deprived  of  the  talents  of  two  of  last 
year's  stalwarts,  Larry  Dempster  and  Al 
Grande,  coach  Bill  Wrabley  was  forced  to 
open  the  season  with  two  strikes  against 
him.  The  struggles  to  date,  however,  have 
uncovered  potential  standouts  in  George 
Callahan,  Bob  Glickman  and  Rowland 
Bell,  all  sophomores. 

The  123-pound  Callahan,  from  Ham- 
burg. N.  Y.,  was  the  victor  in  two  of  his 
three  matches,  while  Glickman,  130- 
pounder  from  Maplewood,  N.  J.,  had  a 
pair  of  wins  and  a  draw  to  his  credit.  Ill- 
ness forced  Bell,  137-pounder  from  Lyn- 
Ijrook,  N.  Y.,  to  miss  the  Muhlenberg 
test  after  he  had  gained  decisions  against 
rivals  from  Lycoming  and  Lafayette. 

The  rip-snortingest  Bison  thus  far  has 
lieen  senior  heavyweight  Bill  Benton, 
Madison,  N.  J.  The  225-pound  giant  has 
pinned  two  foes  and  outpointed  another 
en  route  to  what  should  be  his  greatest 
season.  Last  year  Bill  captured  four  of 
six  regular  matches  and  won  three  of  four 
Middle  Atlantic  Championship  skirmish- 
es, finishing  runner-up  among  the  heavy- 
weights.

A  MOXTH  of  the  second  semester  has 
■^^  passed  already.  It  seems  hke  just  yes- 
terday that  we  were  standing  in  many  long 
lines  to  register.  It  seems  like  just  yester- 
day that  we  were  receiving  our  marks  and 
were  vowing  to  really  get  down  to  work 
this  semester.  Resolved :  that  we  will  not 
let  the  reading  pile  up  until  just  before  the 
test:  that  we  will  keep  notes  neat  and  in 
order;  that  we  will  cut  down  on  bridge 
playing,  that  we  will  spend  less  time  in 
Chet's ;  and  that  we  will  keep  the  study 
hours  longer  than  the  breaks.  Here  we  are 
a  month  later;  they  still  sound  good,  but 
.  And  less  than  a  month  'til  mid-semes- 
ters. 

WUS  Tops  Goal 

The  Bucknell  campus  is  really  going 
world-minded.  Just  recently  the  World 
Universitj-  Service  annual  drive  was  held. 
Forrest  Brown,  secretary  of  the  Christian 
.Association,  was  happy  to  announce  that 
this  drive  went  over  its  goal  of  $3500,  the 
first  time  anj'  drive  has  done  this  in  five 
years.  So  far  they've  collected  $3599.29  in 
cash  and  pledges  from  71.2%  of  faculty, 
staff,  and  administration,  and  from  69.3%  of 
students.  The  budget  is  $1200  for  four 
scholarships  to  International  students  at 
Bucknell,  SIOOO  for  Hungarian  refugee  stu- 
dents in  Vienna,  $500  for  general  WUS 
projects,  $500  for  scholarships  at  University 
of  Rangoon  in  Burma,  and  $300  for  special 
alumni  projects  overseas.  Contributing  to 
WUS  seems  like  a  worthwhile  way  to  spend 
our  money. 

"Pledge,  Clean  This  Up" 

This  semester  got  off  to  a  roaring  start 
with  sorority  and  fraternity  formal  rushing. 
.•\  whole  semester  of  planning,  working,  and 
.sweating  finally  paid  off.  Lots  of  happiness ; 
a  few  disapiKjintments.  But  "c'est  la  vie."  It 
was  worth  it.  No  more  suite  cleaning  nor 
pledge  work-outs  for  sophomores.  Now 
everyone's  back  to  normal ;  no-one's  trying 
to  impress  someone  else.  Everyone  can  re- 
lax and  not  worry  about  rules  and  restric- 
tions on  rushing.  Four  girls  of  the  same 
v.rority  can  go  into  Chet's  without  being 
condemned  for  "group  activity." 

"Dig  That  Orchestra" 

Not  tofi  many  students  would  make  jilans 
to  siiend  one  of  their  vacation  days  attend- 
ing a  symphony  orchestra  concert ;  Tiot  too 
many  have  the  op|»ortuiiity.  But  when  the 
.\tinncaixjlis  Symphony  Orchestra  |)  1  a  y  e  d 
here,  the  enthusiastic  resfKjnse  showed  that 
we  r|o  enjoy  some  music  other  than  Kock  'n 
Koll.  One  of  the  major  orchestras  of  the 
country,  it  was  presented  to  the  campus  as 
the  third  program  in  the  Artist  .Scries.  They 
gave  a  iK;rformaiice  to  awe  every  Bucknell 
l>and  memlier,  in  addition  to  everyone  else

Jean  White  '50  Is  Feature 
Writer 

Jean  White,  Bucknell  University  Class  of 
1950,  has  been  exemplifying  distinguished 
journalism  in  her  staff  reportorial  work 
with  the  Washington  Post  and  Times- 
Herald. 

Her  series  of  articles,  covering  the  Fift- 
eenth Anniversary  E.xhibit  of  the  National 
Gallery  of  Art,  has  a  Bucknell  flavor.  The 
occasion  was  especially  noted  by  the 
showing  of  the  Samuel  H.  Kress  collection 
which  constituted  the  largest  single  dis- 
play in  the  gallery.  Mr.  Rush  H.  Kress 
"00,  was  in  attendance  for  the  initial  an- 
niversary show. 

Jean's  series  preceded  the  public  showing 
by  a  week  and  continued  for  a  two-week 
period.  Reaction  of  the  public  to  the  arti- 
cles has  been  so  vigorous  that  all  previous 
exhibition  attendance  records  were  shat- 
tered. The  more  famous  artists  were  dis- 
cussed from  the  standpoint  of  type,  class 
and  technique ;  restoration  efforts  of  the 
Kress  Foundation's  Art  Laboratory  in  the 
Poconos  were  illustrated,  and  a  special  Sun- 
day supplement  depicting  the  National  Gal- 
lery of  Art,  its  history  and  its  most  famous 
works  was  featured. 

The  Washington's  Birthday  commemora- 
tive section  of  the  Sunday  edition  carried  a 
full  cover  page  by-lined  by  Jean.  The  arti- 
cle dealt  with  the  Washington  influence  on 
historic  Alexandria  which  lies  across  the 
Potomac  and  slightly  to  the  south  of  Wash- 
ington, D.  C.  By  present  day  standards, 
Alexandria  is  a  short  drive  from  the  Wash- 
ington estate  of  Mt.  Vernon  and  in  colonial 
days,  the  center  of  commercial  and  social 
activity  for  plantation  owners  of  Northern 
Virginia. 

Miss  White  has  not  limited  her  jour- 
nalism to  art  and  history.  Her  by-lines 
follow  front  page  lead  headlines  on  dis- 
aster and  extend  to  feature  stories  on  the 
financial  page.  Jean  lives  in  the  District 
of  Columbia  but  considers  Williamsport  her 
home. 

Previous  to  attending  Bucknell,  Miss 
White  studied  at  Dickinson  Junior  College 
and  subsequent  to  her  graduation  with  the 
Class  of  1950  with  an  A.B.  in  English  and 
Chemistry,  received  a  Master  of  Science 
with  distinction  at  the  Columbia  School  of 
Journalism  in  1953.  While  at  Bucknell, 
Jean  was  elected  to  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  gradu- 
ating summa  cum  laitde.  Since  completion 
of  Columbia  graduate  work,  she  has  been 
associated  continuously  with  the  Washing- 
ton Post  and  Times-Herald.  Jean  at  one 
time  served  as  local  reporter  and  "rewrite 
man"  for  the  national  edition  of  Williams- 
fjort's  Grit. 

We  are  proud  of  the  contribution  to  the 
field  of  journalism  by  Miss  Jean  White  'SO, 
our  fellow  Ahiinna. 


New  Honor  for  Smitti  '94 


Or.  Catlierine  Mac  Farlane  and  Dr.  Harvey  F.  Smith 
'94,  cancer  figliters. 

Dr.  Harvey  F.  Smith  of  the  Class  of 
1894  has  been  one  of  Pennsylvania's  lead- 
ers in  cancer  control  work  for  over  forty 
years.  His  vigorous  efforts  against  this 
dread  affliction  have  brought  him  out- 
standing  acclaim  in  medical  circles 
throughout  the  state,  and  from  news  gath- 
ered from  the  Pennsylvania  Cancer  Digest  it 
appears  that  Dr.  Smith  is  still  moving- 
forward  in  the  fight  against  cancer.  The 
above  picture  of  Dr.  Smith  with  Dr.  Mac- 
farlane  was  recently  taken  at  a  Crusade 
Rally  held  by  the  Dauphin  County  Unit 
on   Cancer. 

Among  the  many  honors  awarded  Dr. 
Smith  perhaps  the  most  recent  was  the  re- 
naming of  the  Harrisburg  Hospital  Tumor 
Clinic  to  the  Harvey  F.  Smith  Tumor 
Clinic. 

Dr.  Smith  graduated  from  Bucknell  in 
1894  with  a  Ph.B.  degree  and  was  award- 
ed his  M.D.  degree  by  the  LTniversity  of 
Pennsylvania  in  1897.  Bucknell,  in  1924, 
honored  him  with  an  honorary  Doctor  of 
Science, 

While  an  undergraduate  at  Bucknell  he 
was  active  in  all  athletics,  especially  base- 
ball and  football,  and  became  a  member 
of  Phi  Kappa  Psi.  After  graduation,  he 
played  for  a  short  time  as  a  third  baseman 
for  the  Washington   Nationals. 

Dr.  Smith  is  a  member  of  many  organ- 
izations, both  medical  and  philanthropic, 
and  we  are  proud  to  have  him  as  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Bucknell  Board  of  Trustees. 

Dr.  Smith  and  his  wife,  the  former  Miss 
Blanche  Neal  of  Gouchcr  College,  pres- 
ently reside  in  Harrisburg.  They  are  the 
parents  of  two  children,  Rnliert  and  V,\- 
eanor  (Mrs.  Thciinas  Tciliy). 


was  quite  successful,  although  it  could  have 
been  more  so.  Considering  the  number  of 
students  enrolled  here,  there  should  have 
been  a  greater  ninnber  attending  the  iverits. 
I'lach  year  we  seem  to  become  more  and 
more  aware  of  life  outside  these  300  acres, 
but  not  enough  of  us  have  as  nnuli  interest 
as  we  should. 

The  keynote  of  the  conference  was  in- 
formality. It  is  an  educational  fact  that  one 
learns  more  from  part jiipal ion  in  a  discus- 
sion than  by  listening  to  a  lecture  with  no 
lime  for  rpteslions.  This  point  was  kept  in 
mind  when  the  schi'diile  was  formed.  'Iln- 
journalism  coffee  i\{  was  called  a  lea,  bill 
they  .served  coffeej  hour  |irovidrd  lime  tu 
talk    individually    with    the    newsmen,    who 


were  all  to])S  in  their  fields.  The  relaxed 
atmosphere  made  conver.sation  easy.  An- 
other main  event,  which  unfortunately  was 
not  open  to  the  gener;il  s(u<leiil  Ixjdy,  was  the 
Newsman's  l'an(|uet.  This  was  probably 
the  most  prcilil.iblc  p.ul  of  the  conference 
for  those  lucky  enough  to  .iltend.  It's  easy 
to  thoroughly  discuss  a  subject  while  sitting 
ai'(jinid  small  dinner  tables.  Of  coinse  the 
,scheduled  discussions  and  talks  were  both 
informative  and  interesting.  What  these 
men  bad  to  offer  was  doubly  iinpnrtaiit  bc- 
c-nisc,  being  jotn'iialists,  they  had  no  political 
I  iiMimilmetits  to  censure  their  ideas.  I  have 
Imi|ics  that  next  year's  conference  will  \ir

BOOK  SHELF 


Warfel  '20,  Harry  R.  and  Lloyd,  Donald  J. 
American  English  in  Its  Cultural  Setting 
Alfred  A.  Knopf,  New  York  1956 

Harry  R.  Warfel,  professor  at  Bucknell 
from  1921  to  193S,  now  professor  at  Uni- 
versity of  Florida,  and  Donald  J.  Lloyd, 
associate  professor  of  English  at  Wayne 
University  and  author  of  the  widely  re- 
printed article,  Sjiobs,  Slobs  and  the  English 
Language,  have  written  what  they  describe 
as  "the  intelligent  person's  guide  to  his 
native  tongue."  The  book  is,  they  an- 
nounce, an  attempt  to  bring  the  results  of 
recent  advanced  linguistic  study  within  the 
range  of  anyone  with  the  equivalent  of  a 
high  school  education. 

The  opening  chapters  recount  briefly, 
but  accurately  and  with  unusual  clarity, 
the  historical  background  of  American 
English,  where  it  came  from,  what  it  was, 
how  it  has  changed.  This  serves  as  an  in- 
troduction to  an  explanation  of  our  lan- 
guage system,  the  devices  English  uses 
to  convey  meaning,  and  its  basic  state- 
ment patterns.  The  authors  succeed  in 
making  clear  even  subjects  as  intimidating 
to  the  layman  as  the  mechanics  of  sound 
production  and  the  sound  signalling  sys- 
tems of  English.  Grammar  loses  its  mys- 
tery and  becomes  intelligible  in  terms  of 
word  classes  and  structure  words.  The 
book  concludes  with  a  thorough  discus- 
sion of  writing  and  its  problems,  includ- 
ing a  section  on  the  language  of  business 
and  practical  suggestions  towards  the  de- 
velopment of  style  and  a  richer  vocabu- 
lary. 

The  book  is  neither  a  study  intended  for 
other  specialists  in  linguistics  nor  is  it  by 
any  means  merely  a  self-help  writing  man- 
ual. Anyone  who  reads  it  with  ordinary 
care  and  patience  should  finish  with  a  con- 
ception of  language  in  agreement  with  the 
best  modern  studies  and  a  new  awareness 
of  the  way  American  English  works  in 
our  society.

SiPLEY  '18,  Dr.  Louis  Walton. 
A  Biography  of  Frederic  E.  Ives 
American  Museum  of  Photograph5^ 

Philadelphia 

As  a  modest  tribute  to  one  of  America's 
greatest  inventors  in  the  photo-mechanical 
fields  the  American  Museum  of  Photog- 
raphy has  published  a  capsule  biography 
of  Frederic  E.  Ives  on  the  occasion  of  the 
100th  anniversary  of  his  birth.  Dr.  Sipley 
has  drawn  on  the  valuable  collection  of 
Ives  items  in  the  American  Museum  of 
Photography  to  illustrate  this  biography. 

Frederic  E.  Ives  was  born  in  Litchfield, 
Conn.,  on  February  17,  1856,  and  as  a 
youth  manifested  great  curiosity  in  scien- 
tific matters.  As  an  apprentice  he  learned 
the  printing  trade,  then  moved  to  Ithaca 
where  he  added  photography  to  his  ac- 
complishments. His  early  interest  in  these 
two  subjects  became  his  life  work  and 
many  of  his  inventions  centered  around 
the  combination  of  the  two.  Ives'  first 
patent  was  a  method  of  making  photo- 
mechanical reproductions  from  photo- 
graphs. Other  inventions  were:  the  Krom- 
skop,  a  3-dimensional  three-color  photo- 
graphic process:  various  three-color  ca- 
meras; several  microscope  inventions,  a 
basic  3-color  dye  print  process;  and  others 
which  brought  his  total  LI.  S.  patents  to 
seventy  in  number. 

This  biography  of  Ives  is  a  condensed 
account  of  the  life  and  work  of  the  inven-

Engineer  Becomes  Missionary 

George  S.  Franke,  a  senior  from  Ro- 
chester, who  completed  his  degree  in  elec- 
trical engineering  in  January  has  been 
commissioned  by  the  American  Baptist 
Foreign  Mission  Society  as  a  missionary 
to  the  Belgian  Congo.  He  has  been  ap- 
pointed for  a  three-year  term  to  render 
a  specialized  service  on  the  mission  field. 
George  will  study  intensive  courses  in  the 
French  language  and  automobile  mechan- 
ics until  August  and  will  be  the  first  techni- 
cian appointed  as  a  missionary  by  the  Ameri- 
can Baptist  Foreign  Missions  Society.  He 
will  repair  and  service  shortwave  radio 
equipment,  power  plants  and  will  train  local 
mechanics  to  perform  these  services  in  the 
Belgian   Congo  mission   field. 


tor.  The  book  consists  of  32  pages  with 
20  black  and  white  illustrations  and  one 
4-color  insert.  The  edition  is  limited  to 
500  copies,  each  of  which  is  numbered. 
This  will  be  a  rare  item  as  the  forms  have 
been  broken  up  and  the  type  distributed 
so  there  can  be  no  reprints. 


Dear  Buck : 

This  is  my  annual  contribution,  which  I 
wish  could  be  larger.  I  do  think  that  it  is  a 
great  thing  for  all  our  members  to  make  an 
annual  gift,  regradless  of  the  size. 

It  troubles  me  a  bit  that  the  more  recent 
classes  are  doing  no  better  than  the  older 
classes  as  to  percentage  of  members  giving. 
We  did  not  start  right,  as  there  was  no 
Alumni  Fund  until  recent  years.  Of  course, 
we  all  understand  that  recent  graduates  have 
heavy  financial  demands  at  this  stage  in 
their  careers.  Yet  it  would  seem  that  they 
might  give  a  little  something  and  add  to  it 
as  their  prosperity  increases.  If  we  poor 
preachers  can  scrape  up  a  few  dollars,  nearly 
all  others  should  be  able  to  in  these  pros- 
perous days  in  our  national  economy. 
Sincerely, 
Rev.  Willard  D.  Callender  '23 


Fond  memories  lake  me  back  many  a  time 
to  Lewisburg,  tlie  boating  on  the  river,  the 
wild  flowers  on  the  banks  of  the  Susque- 
hanna and  on  the  cliffs  beyond  Gundy's  bend. 
How  many  new  (to  me)  flowers  I  found 
there.  Then,  too,  Lewisburg  is  always  asso- 
ciated with  my  mother  and  father  who  met 
there  when  father  was  a  senior  in  college  and 
mother  taught  in  the  then  "Female  Semin- 
ary." 1958  will  be  ninety  years  since  father 
graduated.  Lewisburg"  and  Bucknell  are  dear 
to  me  for  many  reasons  and  it  is  good  to  be 
remembered  now  and  then  from  the  college. 
Thank  you  ! 

Sincerely, 
Gertrude  Stephens  Downs  '99 


As  a  retired  schoolman  I  am  obliged  to  cut 
down  as  many  expenditures  as  possible,  and 
yet  I  do  want  to  continue  my  recognition  of 
obligation  to  a  splendid  college,  which  has 
meant  so  much  to  me — even  if  the  recogni- 
tion is  only  a  token.  I  wish  it  could  be  more. 
Cordially, 

Ralph  W.  Haller  '08 


Dear  Mr.  Shott : 

Mrs.  Koopmann  and  I  wish  to  thank  you 
for  the  delightful  week-end  at  college  during 
my  fifty-fifth  reunion.  It  was  a  great  plea- 
sure to  see  so  many  improvements  in  build- 
ings old  and  new,  and  in  general  administra- 
tion. Our  entertainment  was  so  kindly  cared 
for,  and  we  were  glad  to  be  housed  in  the 
dormitory — or  should  I  say  residence  hall — 
named  for  Dr.  Swartz,  whom  we  knew  and 
loved. 

Our  hearty  congratulations  too,  for  our 
ALUMNUS  Magazine  and  your  work  with 
the  Alumni. 

Cordially  yours  for  B.  U. 

Laura  Allen  Konkle  '01 


Friends : 

After  our  completely  satisfying  '06  re- 
union, I  am  moved  to  express  my  gratitude 
to  someone  behind  the  scenes  who  helped  in 
the  planning.  The  scheme  for  housing  all 
members  of  a  class  together  in  the  same 
dormitory  is  excellent,  for  the  houseparty 
informality  helps  quickly  in  renewing  old 
friendships  and  making  new  ones  of  former 
mere  acquaintances  or  "in-laws." 

We're    all    carrying    home    very    pleasant 
memories.     Enclosed  is  a  small  token  of  my 
appreciation  to  add  to  "the  fund." 
Sincerely  yours, 

Sarah  Furman  Frost  '06

University  Loses  Three 
Faculty  iVIembers 

Baker  '11,  Rivoire  and  Smith  Die 

Since  the  beginning  of  the  University 
year  on  July  1,  three  faculty  members 
have  been  called  home.  All  three,  while 
they  served  for  varying  lengths  of  tenure, 
have  filled  us  with  a  sense  of  keen  loss 
and  will  be  greatly  missed  by  the  Univer- 
sity famih'. 

W.  Xeil  Baker  '11.  a  life-long  resident 
of  Lewisburg.  was  stricken  with  a  cor- 
onary occlusion  on  Saturday  morning. 
August  11.  1956,  as  he  entered  the  lobby 
of  the  Foss  Clinic  of  the  Geisinger  Me- 
morial Hospital,  Danville. 

It  had  been  his  custom  to  serve  as  a 
relief  druggist  at  the  hospital  pharmacy 
on  occasions  during  the  summer  months, 
and  he  was  about  to  round  out  a  week's 
work  when  stricken. 

Neil  had  served  since  1944  as  instruc- 
tor in  engineering  drawing  and  was  known 
and  loved  by  hundreds  of  engineering  stu- 
dents who  attended  the  University  during 
World  War  II  and  the  post-war  period. 

Always  closely  associated  with  the  un- 
dergraduate chapter  of  Kappa  Sigma, 
where  he  served  as  alumni  adviser  for  the 
past  several  years,  he  guided  a  number  of 
generations  of  Kappa  Sigs  through  their 
academic  careers. 

Neil  was  born  in  1891,  the  son  of  the 
late  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Thomas  T.  Baker.  Dr. 
Baker  for  many  years  operated  Baker's 
Pharmacy  on  the  site  now  occupied  by 
Rea  and  Derick  and  all  earl}'  Bucknellians 
from  the  1900's  on  will  remember  the 
spot  where  the  Bakers,  both  father  and 
son,  maintained  a  popular  student  gather- 
ing place. 

Neil  graduated  from  Bucknell  in  1911 
and  from  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Phar- 
macy in  1914.  He  married  Ruth  Mohn, 
Institute  '11,  of  Lewisburg,  in  1917.  who 
survives  him.  along  with  their  son,  David 
M.  Baker,  Esq.  '48.  Bron.xville,  N.  Y. 

He  remained  with  his  father  in  Baker's 
Pharmacy  until  1928,  at  which  time  he  was 
appointed  postmaster,  serving  in  that  ca- 
pacity until  1936.  Subsequently,  he  man- 
aged the  local  Rea  and  Derick  drug  store. 

During  World  War  I  he  served  in  both 
the  Army  and  the  Xavy.  He  was  a  char- 
ter member  of  Kratzer-Dull  Post  No.  182, 
American  Legion,  Lewisburg.  He  was 
also  a  member  of  Charity  Lodge,  F.  and 
A.  M.,  Lewisburg;  Willianisport  Consis- 
tory and  the  Irem  Temple,  of  Wilkes- 
Barre.  He  was  a  member  of  .St.  John's 
f-'vangelical  and  Reformed  Church,  and 
had  been  a  member  of  the  consistory  of 
that  church  for  the  past  ten  years.  He 
was  presently  serving  as  president  of  that 
body.  He  was  also  active  in  Lewisburg 
civic  and  business  aflfairs,  having  served 
on  the  town  council  and  as  a  school  direc- 
tor. At  the  time  of  his  death  he  was  pres- 
ident of  the  Lewisburg  School  Jointure 
atid  a  director  of  the  school  authority,  lie 
was  also  a  director,  vice  president  and 
treasurer  of  the  I'ufTalo  Valley  Telephone 
(.'oinpany.  For  many  years  he  served  on 
the  board  of  trustees  of  the  Laurclton 
Stale  Village. 

The  memory  of  Neil  will  be  long  in 
the  niinrU  of  his  family,  his  classmates, 
his  friends  and  co-workers,  his  l!iiiversily, 
his  fraternity,  and  untold  numbers  of  his 
former  students.

Dr.  Ranck  to  Retire  as  Direc- 
tor of  Development 

Dr.  Dayton  L.  Ranck  '16,  who  has  served 
Bucknell  University  in  an  administrative 
capacity  for  33  years,  will  retire  on  June  30 
from  his  present  post  as  vice  president  and 
director  of  development. 

One  of  Bucknell's  best  known  officials,  Dr. 
Ranck  joined  the  Bucknell  staff  in  1924. 
eight  years  after  his  graduation  from  tlu 
University.  He  served  for  seven  years  a- 
comptroller  and  in  1931  was  made  treasurer 
In  1953  he  was  elevated  to  the  position  ni 
vice  president  and  treasurer.  Upon  his  rv 
tirement  as  treasurer  in  1955.  he  began  hi-. 
current  assignment  as  vice  president  and 
director  of  development. 

Throughout  his  long  career  as  a  collegi' 
administrator,  Dr.  Ranck  has  taken  a  lead- 
ing role  in  community  affairs  and  civii 
causes  and  has  contributed  his  services  U< 
many  important  projects,  including  the  con- 
struction of  the  Evangelical  Community  Hos- 
pital, in  which  he  played  a  leading  role. 

In  recognition  of  his  valuable  services, 
Bucknell  conferred  upon  him  the  honorary 
degree  of  doctor  of  laws  in  1951.  In  con- 
ferring the  degree.  Dr.  Joseph  W.  Hender- 
son '08,  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees, 
remarked  that,  "It  is  given  to  few  persons 
to  achieve  such  a  degree  of  affection  and 
admiration  in  a  single  lifetime  as  that  which 
Davton  Ranck  has  achieved  in  his  career  at 
Bucknell." 

President  Merle  M.  Odgers,  in  announcing 
Dr.  Ranck's  forthcoming  retirement,  cited 
the  high  degree  of  competency,  integrity  and 
devotion  which  the  Bucknell  official  has  dem- 
onstrated in  his  long  career  and  added,  "We 
shall  look  forward  to  calling  upon  his  expe- 
rience and  wisdom  in  the  future  in  a  con- 
sulting capacity." 

Because  of  his  recent  illness  and  to  give 
him  an  opportunity  to  recover  his  health 
completely,  Dr.  Ranck  has  been  given  a 
leave  of  absence  for  the  second  semester  of 
the  current  year.  John  F.  Zeller,  III  '41, 
assistant  to  the  president  will  also  serve  as 
acting  director  of  development  until  a  new 
director   is   appointed. 

voire  came  to  Bucknell  University  in  Feb- 
ruary, 1950.  From  that  time  through  the 
end  of  the  June  1956  semester  he  was  as- 
sociate professor  of  French  and  last  Sep- 
tember became  a  full  professor.

degree  in  1934  from  the  University  of 
Manitoba,  and  in  1938  he  earned  his  mas-

REV.   ANTHONY    F.   VASQUEZ 

In  the  summer  of  1955  Rev.  Anthony  F. 
Vasquez  '37,  pastor  of  St.  John's  Baptist 
Church,  13th  and  Tasker  Sts.,  Philadel- 
phia, attended  the  World  Baptist  Alliance 
in  London.  Later,  in  Paris,  he  saw  an 
American  flag  which  suddenly  reminded 
him  of  people.  The  thought  came  to  him 
what  a  wonderful  thing  it  would  be  if  the 
flag  of  every  country  could  be  enshrined 
in  a  sanctuary  as  a  constant  reminder  that 
all  people  are  members  of  God's  family. 

Returning  to  St.  John's,  he  outlined  the 
idea  to  his  congregation:  create  a  prayer 
center  to  all  and  use  flags  "to  remind  peo- 
ple of  people."  Given  approval,  he  set  to 
work.  He  wrote  to  the  heads  of  76  na- 
tions, asking  that  each  contribute  a  flag  of 
his  country  to  display.  Also,  outstanding 
figures  in  various  countries  were  asked  to 
send  messages  of  good  will  for  display  in 
the  prayer  center.  Fifty-three  nations  sent 
their  national  flags  and  ambassadors  and 
other  world  leaders  sent  the  church  letters 
of  good  will  or  prayers.  Among  them  are 
letters  from  former  President  Truman. 
Madame  Chiang  Kai-shek,  Syngman 
Rhee,  and  Abba  F.ban,  Israeli  anibassadoi- 
to  the  U.  S. 

At  the  center  of  the  prayer  sanctuary 
is  a  bronze  pla(|ue  bearing  a  prayer  com- 
|H)Sed  by  the  Rev.  Vas(|Uez.  The  flag  of 
the  United  Stales  and  the  church  flag  oc- 
cn|)y  the  places  of  honor.  In  the  center 
are  the  flags  of  the  countries  of  the  United 
Nations,  all  linked  by  a  goldeit  cord,  sym- 
bolic  of  brotherhood. 

The  Prayer  Center  for  All  People  and 
b'lags  of  Nations  was  dedicated  on  Feb.  17, 
19.56,  the  World  Day  of  Prayer.  Dr. 
Ilerbert  (lezm-k  delivered  the  dedicatory 
aildress.  C'onsuls  of  fifteen  nations  repre- 
senle<I  their  countries  at  the  service.  At 
thai  lime  a  campaign  was  laimched  to  en- 
list all  people  in  a  covenant  of  prayer  in 
which  they  promise  (o  pray  daily  for 
peace  and  brotherhood  for  all  peoples  of 
the  world. 

"The  aim,"  says  Anthony,  "is  (o  have 
people  Ihiidi  of  all  connlries  not  in  terms 
of  govermiu-nl,  but  of  hiini;in  beings." 

I'ucknell  University  is  represented  in 
the  Prayer  Center  with  a  letter  from  Presi- 
ilenl  Odgers,  It  is  the  only  educational 
instiliilioii,  besides  Crozer  Si'iriinary.  iii-

BUCKNELLIANS  ADVANCE  IN  MARTS  &  LUNDY,  INC. 


Fabian  Bachrach 
DR.  ARNAUD  C.  MARTS 


Jean  Raeburn,  N.  Y. 
MR.  T.  F.  MORGAN,  JR.  '21 


Fabian  Baehracli 
DR.   LOUIS  W.  ROBEY  '04 


Dr.  Arnaud  C.  Marts,  Doctor  of  Laws 
(honorary)  '46,  president  of  Bucknell  from 
1938  to  1945,  for  thirty  years  president  of 
Marts  &  Lundy,  Inc.,  professional  fund- 
raising  and  public  relations  firm,  was  elected 
to  fill  the  newly-created  position  of  chairman 
of  the  board  of  directors  of  that  company, 
in  September  1956. 

Succeeding  him  as  president  of  the  organi- 
zation, which  raises  funds  for  colleges, 
churches,  hospitals  and  other  philanthropic 
institutions,  will  be  Thomas  F.  (Si)  Morgan, 
Jr.  '21,  of  Lewisburg,  who  served  until  his 
new  appointment  as  a  vice  president  of  the 
company. 

Other  new  appointments  announced  at  the 
same  time  include  the  election  of  George  E. 
Lundy  of  Canton,  O.,  and  Dr.  Louis  W. 
Robey  '04,  of  Philadelphia  to  the  positions  of 
vice  chairmen  of  the  board  of  directors.  Both 
Mr.  Lundy  and  Dr.  Robey  had  been  serving 
as  vice  presidents  of  the  firm. 

Dr.  Marts,  who  will  continue  to  devote 
his  full-time  attention  to  the  affairs  of  the 
company  which  he  and  Mr.  Lundy  formed 
30  years  ago,  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the 
modern  fund-raising  profession  and  instru- 
mental in  the  organization  of  the  American 
Association  of  Fund-Raising  Counsel,  the 
national  accrediting  agency  for  ethical  fund- 
raising  firms.  In  addition  to  his  business 
activities,  he  served  Bucknell  University  for 
ten  years  as  acting  president  and  president 
as  well  as  trustee  for  a  number  of  years,  as 


the  first  executive  director  of  the  Pennsylva- 
nia State  Council  of  Defense,  and  in  Wash- 
ington during  World  War  II  as  chief  of  the 
Temporary  Reserve  Division  of  the  U.  S. 
Coast  Guard  with  the  rank  of  captain,  and 
for  the  past  five  years  as  president  of  the 
Woods  Hole  Oceanographic  Institution  of 
Cape  Cod,  Mass. 

He  is  currently  serving  on  the  boards  of 
several  colleges,  research  institutes,  and  wel- 
fare organizations,  including  the  board  of 
Oberlin  College,  his  alma  mater,  and  of 
Wilkes  College,  of  which  he  is  vice  chairman. 

"Si"  Morgan,  a  member  of  Marts  &  Lundy 
for  30  years,  is  considered  one  of  the  coun- 
try's most  successful  fund-raising  consultants 
and  has  pioneered  in  the  development  of  a 
score  of  organizational  plans  which  have  been 
adopted  as  standard  practice  in  the  profes- 
sion. In  addition  to  his  business  activities, 
he  serves  as  a  director  of  the  American  As- 
sociation of  Fund-Raising  Counsel,  a  na- 
tional officer  (Grand  High  Tau)  of  the 
Lambda  Chi  Alpha  college  fraternity,  and 
as  a  trustee  of  the  John  E.  Mason  Founda- 
tion. 

Until  1950  he  had  the  distinction  of  know- 
ing personally  every  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  man 
in  the  Bucknell  chapter,  having  made  it  his 
business  to  visit  and  become  acquainted  with 
them.  In  every  chapter  activity  he  has  taken 
a  leading  and  active  part,  to  the  point  where 
at  Bucknell  he  is  known  as  "Mr.  Lambda 
Chi."  His  most  recent  activity  for  the  chap- 
ter was  in  bringing  to  fruition  the  building 


of  Bucknell's  palatial  and  utilitarian  chapter 
house. 

In  the  1920's  "Si's"  commitments  took 
him  into  every  state  in  the  Union,  and  there 
was  a  time  when  he  had  achieved  a  record 
of  having  visited  every  existing  chapter. 

Morgan  is  a  Presbyterian  and  makes  his 
home  with  his  wife,  Edith,  and  their  two 
children,  Linda  and  Thomas  III,  in  Lewis- 
burg. He  commutes  from  Williamsport  to 
New  York  by  air. 

Dr.  Louis  W.  Robey  '04,  vice  president 
and  secretary  of  Marts  &  Lundy,  Inc.  since 
1936,  has  been  appointed  to  fill  the  newly- 
created  position  of  vice  chairman  of  the 
board  of  directors  of  that  company. 

A  Phi  Beta  Kappa  graduate  of  Bucknell 
University,  and  from  the  University  of  Penn- 
sylvania Law  School,  Dr.  Robey  was  en- 
gaged in  a  successful  career  as  lawyer  and 
banker  in  Philadelphia  before  becoming  asso- 
ciated with  Marts  &  Lundy.  He  has  assisted 
Bucknell  as  director  and  adviser  in  many 
development  programs,  most  recently  as  di- 
rector of  the  Cowan  Lodge  building  project. 

Other  Bucknellians  active  in  the  Marts  & 
Lundy  organization  include  James  H. 
Duchine,  president  of  the  Class  of  1940,  re- 
cently made  a  director  of  the  company, 
Raymond  W.  Cooper  '18,  and  Charles  S. 
Dice  '32.  Paul  A.  Hightower,  secretary  to 
Dr.  Marts  when  he  was  president  of  Buck- 
nell, has  been  a  member  of  the  firm  for  many 
years. 


National  Advertising  Campaign  For  Higher  Education  In  Preparation 


Materials  for  a  National  Advertising  cam- 
paign in  behalf  of  higher  education  are  now 
being  completed. 

Sponsored  by  the  Council  for  Financial 
Aid  to  Education  and  developed  and  co- 
ordinated by  The  Advertising  Council,  the 
campaign  will  utilize  newspapers,  televis- 
ion, radio,  general  appeal  magazines, 
house  magazines,  business  and  trade  pap- 
ers,  and  car  cards. 

Actual  preparation  of  advertising  mate- 
rial is  in  the  hands  of  N.  W.  Ayer  &  Son, 

10 


which  has  volunteered  its  services.  A 
Bucknellian,  Kenneth  W.  Slifer  '26,  is  vice 
president  in  charge  of  copy  for  the  agen- 
cy. The  Council  for  Financial  Aid  to  Ed- 
ucation is  acting  in  the  capacity  of  a  client, 
and  is  responsible  for  distribution  of  ma- 
terials. 

Basically  there  are  to  be  three  major 
themes  to  be  carried  throughout  the  cam- 
paign: (1)  higher  education  touches  each 
citizen  personally;  (2)  the  essence  of  high- 


er education  is  good  teaching;  and  (3) 
higher  education  must  get  citizen's  sup- 
port to  continue  doing  the  job  it  is  now. 

Since  almost  every  mass  communica- 
tions outlet  in  the  nation  will  be  utilized 
in  the  campaign,  space  and  time  costs 
alone  will  run  into  many  millions  of  dol- 
lars. This  cost  will  be  borne  by  the  out- 
lets themselves  or  by  interested  business- 
es and  industries  who  will  include  this 
public  service  in  their  advertising  budgets.

More  Eight  Year  Givers        BUCKNELL    ALUMNI    CENSUS    OF    1956 


We  are  happy  to  report  additional  chart 
er  (or  eight  year)  donors  to  the  Bucknell 
Alumni  Fund  as  the  result  of  our  appeal 
in  the  last  issue  of  THE  BUCKXELL 
ALUMXUS.  Again,  in  most  cases,  gifts 
made  during  the  heating  plant  campaign 
of  1948  were  not  properly  recorded  on 
the  Alumni  Fund  Giving  Records.  Where 
alumni  have  called  this  omission  to  our 
attention  we  have  been  able  to  dig  into  the 
1948  records  of  the  University  and  in 
most  cases  have  been  able  to  add  one 
year  of  giving  to  the  record. 

Alumni  receiving  one  more  year  of  con- 
tinuous giving  than  reported  in  the  No- 
vember 1956  issue  of  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALUMXUS  are:  Mr.  and  Mrs.  O.  \'.  W. 
Hawkins  '13  and  '14.  Carl  E.  Geiger  '15, 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Erie  M.  Topham  '15  and  '17, 
Olive  E.  Moore  '17,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Clinton 
L  Sprout  '17  and  '18,  Meribel  Ritter  Smith 
'24,  W.  Duffield  Hoy  '29,  Grace  Grimshaw 
Dundore  '31,  Dorothy  Grimshaw  Heine  '31, 
John  F.  Worth  '37,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  N.  Arthur 
Adamson  '44,  Craig  M.  Hall  '51,  and  Dr. 
and  Mrs.  Harold  X.  Cole  '06. 

There  must  be  many  more  similar  cas- 
es. If  you  are  one  of  these  donors,  please 
advise  alumni  headquarters  so  that  your 
record  of  giving  may  be  corrected.  Thank 
you. 


Burma-Bucknell  Program 

Anna  Shultz,  junior  from  Saudi  Arabia, 
served  as  student  chairman  of  the  ninth 
annual  Burma-Bucknell  Weekend  March 
1  to  3.  The  two  principal  speakers  for  the 
event  were  His  Excellency,  U  Win,  Ambas- 
sador from  the  Union  of  Burma,  and  Senator 
Theodore  F.  Green,  Chairman  of  the  Senate 
Foreign  Relations  Committee. 

About  100  guests  were  on  campus  for  the 
event,  which  has  become  not  only  popular 
on  the  campus,  but  has  remained  unique 
among  American  campus  international  pro- 
grams. Guests  included  not  only  Burmese 
students,  scholars  and  members  of  govern- 
ment of  the  Union  of  Burma,  but  also 
American  friends  of  Burma,  and  representa- 
tives of  the  United  States  Department  of 
State.  The  Information  Agency  and  the 
Voice  of  America  gave  full  coverage,  and 
regarded  these  three  days  as  especially  rich 
in  material. 

The  banquet,  held  on  Saturday  evening, 
was  the  highlight  of  the  program.  It  was 
followed  by  an  International  Party  in  which 
Burmese  dances  and  music  were  mi.xed  with 
American  songs,  dances  and  reels.  Saturday 
was  filled  with  seminars  with  University  and 
community  agencies,  field  trips,  and  lunch- 
eons in  the  homes  of  friends  in  the  commu- 
nity.    Scholars  addressed  classes  on  Friday. 

Professor  Roy  C.  Taskcr  served  as  faculty 
chairman  of  the  event.  Other  chairmen 
were:  Pete  Schucrholz  '57,  Middletown, 
N'.  Y.;  Gcorgic  Ann  MacKay  '58,  Glcnshaw ; 
Fvlainc  Longcnccker  '58,  IJtitz ;  iJavo  .Slifer

Editor's  Xote — This  is  the  ninth  of  a  series  being  published  in  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUM- 
X'US  to  show  the  geographic  distribution  of  Bucknell  Alumni.  The  present  article  reports 
the  census  of  1956. 

The  accompanying  map  shows  the  state-by-state  distribution  of  the  16,856  former  stu- 
dents of  Bucknell  University  with  known  addresses.  The  count  was  made  in  November 
1956  and  includes  the  graduates  of  June  of  this  year.  The  state  list  shown  under  the  map 
includes  the  comparable  census  for  October  1955.  About  10%  of  our  Bucktiellians  move 
each  year  and  tell  Alumni  Headquarters  of  their  new  address.  Another  5%  move  and  leave 
no  forwarding  address.  Experience  shows  that  about  180  copies  of  this  issue  of  THE 
BUCKXELL  ALUMXUS  will  be  returned  to  Alumni  Headquarters  as  undeliverable.  We 
can  improve  that  position  by  being  sure  to  tell  Alumni  Headquarters  when  and  where  we 
move  and  inform  the  office  about  Bucknellians  who  move  into  our  local  community.  The 
post  office  department  does  a  splendid  job  of  notifying  us  about  changes  of  address  that  it 
has  received,  but  a  sizeable  amount  of  tax  money  could  be  saved  if  everyone  notified  our 
office  of  a  change  of  address  BEFORE  moving.

for  a  lifetime  of  achievement  on  behalf  of  two  devotions — 

Bucknell  University 

and  the  American  College  Public  Relations  Association, 

both  of  which  have  reaped  the  benefits  of  her  efforts. 

At  Bucknell,  more  than  one  president  has  found  her  advice  and  counsel 

to  be  not  only  forthright  and  refreshing  but  wise  and  valuable. 

And  in  A.  C.  P.  R.  A.,  where  she  has  accomplished  many  assignments  faithfully  and 

well,  she  will  always  be  particularly  appreciated  by  those  who  first  learned  the 

public  relations  facts  of  life  in  her  famous  lecture  for 

beginners,  a  classic  in  common  sense. 


Frances  E.  Riche 
District  Director 

January  24,  1957 
Atlantic  City,  New  Jersey 

The  American  College  Public  Relations 
Association,  at  its  District  Conference  in 
January,  bestowed  a  signal  honor  on  our 
own  Trennie  E.  Eisley,  A.B.  '31,  A.M.  '34, 
in  recognition  of  her  service  to  Bucknell 
and  to  the  Association.  The  award  of  merit 
reads  as  above. 

To  many  folks  the  public  relations  func- 
tion means  the  placing  of  publicity  releases 
in  hundreds  of  newspapers  and  this  is,  of 
course,  a  large  and  flourishing  division  of 
activity,  but  public  relations  on  a  University 
campus  today  involves  many  other  duties. 
The  assistance  of  the  public  relations  office 
is  sought  in  the  preparation  of  develop- 
mental brochures.  University  reports  and 
catalogues,  promotional  literature  for  pro- 
spective students  and  secondary  schools, 
speeches  of  all  kinds,  supervision  of  student 
radio  and  publication  activities,  preparation 
of  biographical  reports  of  faculty,  staff  and 
students,  as  well  as  the  writing  of  news- 
paper articles  for  placement  in  the  students' 
hometown  newspapers.  With  2000  students 
on  the  campus,  this  activity  alone  runs  into 
thousands  of  publicity  pieces  each  year.  Be- 
sides all  this,  Trennie  has  on  many  occasions 
written  sports  copy  for  long  stretches  of 
time   when   a   sports   publicity   assistant   has 


Louis  H.  Bell 

Chairman,  Awards  Committee 


not  been  on  the  staff.  To  top  all  this,  she 
has  also  taught  Bucknell's  courses  in  public 
relations   since    1941. 

For  the  General  Alumni  Association,  the 
Public  Relations  office  performs  a  unique 
and  painstaking  service.  At  each  local  alum- 
ni club  meeting  where  a  campus  representa- 
tive will  appear,  the  Public  Relations  Office 
prepares  and  sends  to  the  local  club  presi- 
dent a  newspaper  publicity  release  concern- 
ing the  coming  meeting.  The  magnitude  of 
this  task  is  realized  when  it  is  remembered 
that  for  one  recent  club  meeting  publicity 
releases  for  forty  different  newspapers  in  the 
area  were  prepared  and  sent  to  club  officers. 
Occasionally  busy  club  officers  fail  to  follow 
through  and  place  these  releases  in  the  hands 
of  the  local  editors,  thus  robbing  the  local 
club  and  the  University  of  valuable  local 
publicity.  Much  of  this  waste  could  be 
eliminated  if  each  of  the  68  alumni  clubs 
would  activate  the  local  publicity  committee 
specified  in  the  by-laws.  The  University 
would  benefit  greatly  from  such  activity  for 
local  editors  are  prone  to  use  Bucknell  news 
releases  when  local  alumni  who  are  their 
own  subscribers  request  such  news. 

We  salute  Trennie  on  her  well-earned 
recognition. 


The  Bucknell  University  Summer  School 


A  Superintendent  of  Schools  in  New 
Jersey  recently  asked  President  Odgers: 
"Are  you  aware  of  the  possibilities  for 
service  in  the  teaching  field  merely  by 
taking  a  few  extra  credits  in  summer? 
Many  of  your  graduates  with  children  of 
school  age  or  older  could  qualify  for 
teaching  by  taking  six  credits  and  be  of 
service  in  this  time  of  crisis  in  the 
schools." 

Suppose  you  were  to  take  the  superin- 
tendent's suggestion  and  spend  the  six 
weeks  beginning  July  1  and  ending  Aug- 
ust 9  on  our  beautiful  campus,  what  would 
you  find?  Well,  you'd  find  yourself  among 
about  three  hundred  other  adults  taking 
summer  work  just  for  fun,  and  cultural 
enrichment,  for  advanced  degrees,  or  for 
professional   advancement.      In   fact,   such 

12 


students  outnumber  the  additional  two 
hundred-odd  undergraduate  students.  Not 
that  the  undergraduates  mind.  Some  of 
them  believe  that  the  summer  session  is 
more  conducive  to  study  than  the  regular 
session.  There's  more  balance,  less  dis- 
traction, smaller  classes,  and  more  relaxed 
professors,  they  say — and  they  are  prob- 
ably right. 

Some  classes  begin  at  seven-thirty  in 
the  morning — while  the  summer  dew  is 
still  on  the  lawns.  By  12:30  most  of  the 
schedule  of  classes,  except  the  labs,  is 
completed  and  you  have  the  rest  of  the 
day  free  for  study  and  relaxation.  This 
year^  the  Freas-Rooke  Swimming  Pool  in 
Davis  Gymnasium  will  be  open  daily  for 
swimming.  The  Department  of  Physical 
Education  will  conduct  a  program  of  com- 


petition in  golf,  tennis,  badminton,  hand- 
ball, basketball  and  soft  ball.  If  you  don't 
want  to  compete,  you  can  play  anyway. 
Off  campus,  but  not  far,  there  is  picnick- 
ing and  recreation  at  the  new  University 
Center  at  Cowan  and  swimming  and  pic- 
nicking at  Halfway  Dam. 

Should  you  not  care  for  exercise  and 
ants  in  your  sandwiches — or  even  if  you 
do — there  is  still  more  on  the  summer 
school  program  that  you  can  enjoy.  Bruce 
Mitchell,  for  instance,  our  artist  in  resi- 
dence, who  is  also  an  authority  on  jazz, 
will  give  six  talks  on  the  Origins  of  Jazz; 
New  Orleans,  Chicago,  New  York  and 
other  Metropolitan  Jazz;  and  Jazz  Today. 
Bruce  has  written  about  jazz  for  Esquire 
and  has  illustrated  covers  for  albums  of 
jazz  records.  Frank  Hoffman,  a  member 
of  the  English  Department,  will  also  give 
a  series  of  illustrated  talks.  His  subject 
is  Folk  Music.  Talks  by  experts  in  sci- 
ence and  politics  are  also  scheduled. 

Two  theatres  located  at  Eagles  Mere 
and  Millville  are  short  and  beautifully 
scenic  drives  off  campus. 

So  you  see  there  is  something  for  every- 
body— study  and  relaxation — at  Bucknell 
University  Summer  School. 

The  study  program  is  interesting  too. 
Suppose  you  don't  want  a  degree,  but 
just  wish  "to  do  something  worthwhile?" 
Well,  you  could  enroll  in  Bruce  Mitchell's 
class  in  elementary  or  advanced  drawing, 
design,  and  painting.  Six  weeks  of  in- 
struction under  Bruce  might  start  you  on 
a  lifetime  of  satisfying  creative  work.  Or 
how  about  a  course  in  the  Twentieth  Cen- 
tury Novel  to  catch  up  on  that  reading 
you've  been  meaning  to  do?  Or  a  course 
in  the  Psychology  of  Personality  or  Child 
Psychology  or  any  other  of  more  than 
a  hundred  courses? 

Should  you  wish  to  earn  an  advanced 
degree  or  pursue  professional  studies  both 
the  Master  of  Arts  and  the  Master  of  Sci- 
ence degrees  can  be  earned  at  summer 
school.  Bucknell  provides  programs  of 
study  for  teachers,  principals,  superin- 
tendents, and  guidance  counselors.  In  ad- 
dition, a  number  of  special  programs  are 
scheduled.  For  instance,  the  National  Sci- 
ence Foundation  has  honored  Bucknell 
by  granting  her  more  than  $50,000  to  es- 
tablish a  Summer  Institute  for  high  school 
teachers  of  biology,  chemistry,  mathema- 
tics and  physics.  Fifty  fellowships  cov- 
ering all  expenses  are  available.  Then 
there  are  the  workshops  in  Elementary 
Education,  Guidance,  and  the  Air-Age, 
plus  a  series  of  round-table  discussions  for 
teachers  of  English  and  a  Conference  on 
the  Secondary  School  Curriculum  for  Su- 
pervisors. 

If  you  don't  want  to  study  on  the 
campus,  you  can  make  the  Atlantic  Ocean 
and  Europe  your  classroom  by  enrolling 
in  the  courses  in  art,  architecture,  and 
aesthetics  to  be  given  by  the  Departments 
of  Art  and  Philosophy.  These  courses 
will  begin  at  New  York,  June  20,  when 
the  ship  sails  for  Europe,  and  conclude 
August  28.  when  the  ship  docks  at  Quebec. 
Between  these  two  dates  you  will  study 
the  art  treasures  of  England,  France,  Ger- 
many, Switzerland,  Italy,  and  Holland  un- 
der Professors  George  Hersey  and  David 
Martin.  You  can  get  college  credit  for 
these  courses  too! 

So  you  see  Summer  School  can  be  both 
enjoyable  and  profitable.  Bucknell  would 
like  to  have  you  enroll,  but  if  you  can't 
you  can  pass  on  this  article  to  someone 
who  can.  You  can  see  that  the  teachers 
in  your  local  elementary  and  high  school 
know  about  it.  Perhaps  your  local  Alum- 
ni Club  Group  could  help  publicize  it.  Is 
there  a  copy  of  the  Bucknell  Siiinmer  School 
Bulletin  in  the  library  of  your  local  school? 

If  you  want  a  Bulletin  write  to  the  Direc- 
tor.

Phil  Campbell  '22  Dies 


PHIL  CAMPBELL   '22 

■'Success  is  sold  in  the  open  market.  I 
can  buy  it.  You  can  buy  it.  Any  man  can 
buy  it,  if  he  is  willing  to  pay  the  price 
in  work  and  sacrifice.  You  can  if  you  will. 
I  dare  you." 

Thus  Philip  C.  Campbell  '22  stated  his 
philosophy  of  life  in  one  of  his  publications 
in  1945  after  twentj-  years  in  the  life  in- 
surance business.  When  he  died  on  Feb- 
ruary 2.  1957  no  one  could  say  that  he  did 
not  live  his  philosophy  to  the  full  through- 
out the  56  years  of  his  life. 

Phil  succumbed  to  a  lingering  illness  at 
the  Geisinger  Hospital-Foss  Clinic  on 
February  2  and  will  be  sadly  missed  by  his 
famih'.  his  University,  his  Class  of  1922. 
and  his  Theta  Chi  fraternity. 

As  an  undergraduate,  he  was  a  member 
of  Beta  Kappa  (now  Theta  Chi),  the 
Mathematics  Club,  Senior  Council  Stu- 
dent Governing  Body,  Chemical  Engineer- 
ing Society,  and  vice  president.  University 
Student  Athletic  Association.  In  1927  he 
was  awarded  the  master  of  arts  degree  by 
Bucknell. 

As  an  alunmus,  Phil  was  even  more  ac- 
tive in  furthering  the  best  interests  of  the 
University,  his  class  and  his  fraternity. 
Long  active  in  Class  of  1922  afifairs,  he 
served  until  his  death  as  class  reporter, 
was  active  in  planning  the  30th  reunion 
of  his  class  five  years  ago  and  just  a  month 
before  his  death  met  with  other  class 
leaders  in  planning  for  the  coming  June 
1957  reunion.  Always  vitally  interested  in 
the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  he  served  on 
several  committees  of  the  fund  and  in 
1952  acted  as  coach  of  the  "even-years" 
squad  and  led  his  class  groups  to  the 
championship  in  the  1951-1952  fund  year. 

In  Theta  Chi  affairs  he  had  long  been 
a  leader,  serving  as  president  of  the  Buck- 
nell Chapter  Alumni  Association,  as  Grand 
Counsellor  for  the  Middle  Atlantic  Prov- 
ince and  as  a  national  officer  of  the  fra- 
ternity. 

Upon  graduation,  Phil  liecamo  an  in- 
structor in  science  and  chemistry  in  IJan- 
ville  Hixh  School,  became  a  part  time 
agent  for  Philarlclphia  Life  Insurance 
(.'ompany  in  1925,  and  changerl  from  teach- 
ing to  a  full-time  district  managcrsliip  in 
1929.  a  busincs.s  connection  he  continued 
until  his  death. 

His  community  and  fraternal  connec- 
tions included;  president,  Bucknell  Alum- 
ni (!lub  of  Montour  (,'ounty;  president  and 
lieutenant  governor,  Kiwanis  (Jlub  of

Newsmen's  Conference 

"E.xplosions  in  the  Making"  was  the  theme 
of  Bucknell  University's  fourth  annual  News- 
men's Conference  Feb.  7  and  8,  with  five 
noted  newsmen  participating  in  the  two-day 
program. 

Guest  speakers  included  Mrs.  Lee  Hall, 
NBC  reporter  and  UN  correspondent ;  Larry 
LeSueur.  United  Nations  correspondent  for 
CBS  ;  John  Scali,  Associated  Press  corres- 
pondent for  the  White  House  and  the  State 
Department ;  Walter  Rundle,  associate  for- 
eign editor  of  Nezvsivcck ;  and  Fritz  S.  Up- 
dike, editor  of  the  Daily  Sentinel  at  Rome, 
N.  Y. 

Designed  to  acquaint  students  and  the 
general  public  with  the  current  crisis  in 
world  afifairs  as  viewed  by  the  men  reporting 
those  affairs,  the  conference  featured  two 
major  panel  discussions  in  which  all  of  the 
visiting  newsmen  participated  and  other  ses- 
sions in  which  individual  reports  were  pre- 
sented. 

Preceding  the  opening  of  the  conference, 
students  viewed  a  showing  of  three  movies 
dealing  with  major  news  happenings  from 
the  "Outlook"  series  of  the  National  Broad- 
casting Company. 

The  five  visiting  newsmen  were  guests  of 
honor  at  a  tea  sponsored  by  the  journalism 
fraternity,  Pi  Delta  Epsilon.  During  their 
stay  on  the  campus  they  also  met  informally 
with  students  in  the  college  restaurant.  The 
Bison. 

As  in  the  past,  all  sessions  of  the  News- 
men's Conference  were  open  to  the  public. 
Henry  Lambert,  senior  from  New  York  City, 
served  as  chairman  of  the  student  committee 
in  charge  of  the  event. 


Summer  Science  Institute 

Bucknell  LIniversity  is  one  of  the  uni- 
versities selected  by  the  National  Science 
Foundation  to  conduct  a  six-week  summer 
institute  for  high  school  science  teachers. 
The  Institute  will  provide  a  program  of 
study  designed  to  broaden  and  deepen 
both  the  teachers'  competence  in  subject 
matter  and  skill  as  teachers.  It  will  also 
provide  an  opportunity  for  high  school 
and  college  teachers  to  understand  each 
other's  professional   problems. 

The  National  Science  Foundation, 
through  its  grant  of  $53,000,  has  made 
available  SO  fellowships  at  Bucknell  for 
high  school  teacliers.  The  fellowship  will 
include  tuition  and  fees  and  will  also  in- 
clude a  cash  stipend  of  $450,  plus  an  addi- 
tional $90  for  each  dependent  up  to  a  ma.x- 
imum  of  four.  It  is  not  necessary  for  the 
dependents  to  accompany  the  recipient  to 
Lewisburg. 

There  will  be  courses  in  astronomy,  bi- 
ology, chemistry,  mathematics,  and  phy- 
sics available  to  Institute  members.  C'rcdit 
earned  in  the  Institute  may  be  applied 
toward  an  M.S.  degree  in  lulucation  with 
a  major  in  education  or  science.  Dr.  Les- 
ter Kieft,  chairman  of  the  chcniislry  de- 
partment, has  been  appointed  director  of 
the  Institute.  Dr.  Kieft  would  ajipruciate 
if  alumni  who  know  high  school  science 
teachers  would  bring  this  opjjortunity  to 
their  attention.  Application  blanks  and 
iiiforniatif)n  can  be  obtained  from  Dr.  Les-

Caruthers  '35  in  World 
Hot  Spot 

As  you  pick  up  the  Nciai  York  Times  you 
have  seen,  almost  daily,  the  name  Osgood 
Caruthers  by-lining  an  article  concerned  with 
the  difficulties  in  Egypt.  Osgood  joined  the 
staff  of  the  Neia  York  Times  in  January, 
1955,  as  assistant  to  the  foreign  news  editor, 
and  in  November  was  off  to  Cairo  on  as- 
signment as  a  foreign  correspondent. 

Prior  to  his  duties  with  the  Neiv  York 
Times  he  worked  for  the  Denver  Post  and 
Pittsburgh  Press,  managed  a  radio  station  in 
DuBois,  served  in  the  United  States  Air 
Force  as  a  captain  during  World  War  II, 
and  before  joining  the  Times  was  with  Asso- 
ciated Press  covering"  a  variety  of  assign- 
ments. His  work  has  taken  him  to  many 
countries,  some  of  which  include  Turkey, 
Jerusalem,  Yugoslavia,  Italy,  Austria,  En- 
gland, and  Egypt.  In  March  of  1945  Osgood 
was  given  the  opportunity  to  be  AP  repre- 
sentative on  the  battleship  Missouri  which 
returned  to  Istanbul,  for  burial,  the  Turkish 
Ambassador  to  the  United  States. 

Time  Magazine  carried  his  article  on 
Nasser  in  the  August  19,  1956,  issue. 

Osgood  is  married  to  the  former  Rose- 
marie  Falcone  of  Buffalo,  N.  Y.  His  father, 
John  L.  Caruthers  '08  is  a  very  successful 
mining  engineer. 


Alumni  Honor  Rev.  Dr.  John  D. 
W.  Fetter  '13  Upon  Retirement 

The  Rev.  Dr.  John  D.  W.  Fetter  '13  and 
Mrs.  Fetter  were  honored  with  a  surprise 
testimonial  by  some  200  guests  at  the  annual 
dinner  of  the  First  Baptist  Church  of  Ithaca, 
N.  Y.,  recently. 

After  serving  forty  years  as  the  first  Bap- 
tist chaplain  at  Cornell  University  and  Ithaca 
College  Rev.  Fetter  retired  from  that  posi- 
tion Aug.  31. 

The  dinner,  an  annual  affair,  owed  its 
surprise  to  the  testimonial  and  the  attendance 
of  alumni,  friends,  and  former  students  of 
the  Rev.  Fetter,  who  was  presented  a  purse 
and  a  scrapbook.  Subscribing  both  to  the 
scrapbook  and  the  purse  were  present  and 
former  students  from  all  48  states  and  from 
several  foreign  countries.  In  the  scrapbook 
were  letters  of  tribute,  photographs  and  other 
items. 

Reverend  Fetter  graduated  from  Bucknell 
in  1913  and  from  Colgate-Rochester  Divini- 
ty School  in  1916.  In  1945  he  was  awarded 
an  honorary  degree  from  Bucknell.  He  went 
to  Ithaca  in  1916  and  began  his  career  by 
founding  the  Baptist  Church  student  work, 
assisted  by  Mrs.  Fetter.  By  record  of  ser- 
vice and  age,  Rev.  Fetter  is  the  oldest  uni- 
versity pastor  in  the  American  Baptist  Con- 
vention. He,  with  two  Bucknell  brothers, 
Or.  Newton  C.  Fetter  '09  and  Dr.  George 
Fetter  '10,  have  given  a  total  of  more  than 
a  century  of  student  work.

Dr.  Edward  0.  Clark  '15  Retires 

The  Reverend  Edward  O.  Clark  D.D., 
Pastor  of  the  Chevy  Chase  Baptist  Church 
since  it  was  organized  in  1924,  retired  last 
June.  He  has  been  elected  Pastor  Emeritus 
of  the  church  and  plans  to  enter  educational 
work  and  to  do  interim  preaching. 

A  native  of  Philadelphia,  he  was  gradu- 
ated from  Bucknell  with  a  B.A.  degree  in 
1915  and  upon  completion  of  his  seminary 
work  was  granted  the  M.A.  degree.  He  was 
graduated  from  the  Colgate-Rochester  Di- 
vinity School  in  1918  and  in  1921  received 
the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Divinity.  In  1946 
Bucknell  conferred  upon  him  the  degree  of 
Doctor  of  Divinity. 

Upon  graduation  at  Rochester  in  1918,  he

BUCKNELL  BAPTISTS  WILL  MEET 
IN  PHILADELPHIA— In  connection 
with  the  American  Baptist  Convention, 
scheduled  for  its  1957  meeting  in  Phila- 
delphia, May  29  to  June  4,  there  will  be 
a  luncheon  for  Bucknellians  and  their 
friends  who  will  be  attending  the  conven- 
tion. Local  area  alumni  are  also  cordially 
invited  to  attend  this  annual  gathering  of 
the  national  Baptist  organization.  The 
exact  time  and  place  of  the  luncheon  meet- 
ing will  be  announced  in  the  May  1957  issue 
of  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS. 

BUCKNELL  EDUCATORS— Bucknel- 
lians in  education  who  attended  the  annual 
Pennsylvania  State  Education  Association 
Convention  in  Harrisburg  in  December 
turned  out  in  good  numbers  (26)  to  hear 
Arthur  E.  Minnier  AB'31,  AM'36,  Super- 
intendent of  Schools  of  Lackawanna  Coun- 
ty discuss  the  timely  topic,  "Highlight.s 
of  the  Intermediate  Service  Area  Bill." 
A  lively  question  period  followed  Mr. 
Minnier's  presentation  of  the  problems 
involved  in  the  proposed  reorganization 
bill.  Dr.  Walter  H.  Sauvain,  Head,  De- 
partment of  Education,  presented  the 
speaker  and  conducted  the  question  and 
answer  period  while  John  H.  Shott,  Alum- 
ni Secretary,  presided  at  the  luncheon 
meeting. 

BALTIMORE— The  Bucknellians  from 
Baltimore  who  met  to  count  their  bless- 
ings made  possible  by  a  "grand  old 
school"  on  Feb.  3  enjoyed  an  evening  of 
conversation  and  companionship  un- 
equaled  for  a  long  time!  After  a  really  de- 
licious dinner  topped  by  our  birthday  cake 
and  coffee,  the  24  guests  contentedly  gave 
attention  to  the  program.  George  Mus- 
sina '34  took  us  back  to  the  campus  by 
means  of  his  many  colored  slides_  taken 
at  Homecoming  showing  the  activities  and 
some  of  the  new  buildings  that  many  of 
us  haven't  had  the  pleasure  of  seeing. 
Anne  Mussina  '32,  our  president  then 
turned  the  program  over  to  Buck  Shott

Reading  Joins  Weekly 
Lunchers 

The  Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of 
Reading  and  Berks  County  (Bill 
Pflum  'SO,  president)  is  the  latest 
group  to  conduct  a  weekly  luncheon 
for  Bucknellians  and  their  friends. 
Bucknellians  meet  every  Monday 
noon  at  Hartzell's  Restaurant,  533 
Penn  St.,  Reading.  Bucknell  visitors 
as  well  as  local  alumni  are  cordially 
invited. 

Other  clubs  that  hold  weekly  or 
monthly  luncheons  include  New 
York  (monthly),  Philadelphia,  Pitts- 
burgh, Scran  ton  (monthly),  and  San 
Francisco  (monthly). 


guest,  who  is  always  welcome  with  his 
never  ending  source  of  facts  and  stories 
about  campus  activities. 

Particularly  enjoyable  at  the  beginning 
of  Buck's  talk  were  some  quotes  from  the 
History  of  Bucknell  telling  of  the  foundings 
of  "The  University  at  Lewisburg."  School 
admissions,  the  present  student  body  and 
expected  increase  in  number,  the  faculty, 
and  school  alumni  and  how  they  have  and 
can  contribute  to  Bucknell's  future  were 
his  main  topics  which  held  our  interest. 
Mr.  Shott  stressed  the  fact  that  in  his 
travels  around  the  alumni  clubs  he  has 
found  that  the  popular  misconception  of 
alumni  is  certainly  not  based  on  fact.  (We 
were  heartily  cheered  by  this.)

Edgar  T.  Stevenson,  78,  editor  and  pub- 
lisher of  the  Titnsville  Herald,  died  De- 
cember 9,  in  an  Erie  hospital.  Edgar  be- 
gan his  newspaper  career  in  1897  and  has 
been  head  of  the  91 -year-old  TitusvUle 
Herald  since  1922.  In  1947  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Newspaper  Publishers  Association 
presented  its  annual  award  to  him  for 
long  and  meritorious  service.  He  served 
on  the  state  historical  and  museum  com- 
mission and  was  a  director  of  the  Second 
National  Bank.  Edgar's  first  wife,  the  for- 
mer Feme  F.  Braddock  of  the  Class  of 
1905,  died  in  1951.  He  is  survived  by  his 
second  wife,  the  former  Hazel  D.  Wilson, 
two  sons,  James  B.  Stevenson  '32.  and 
William  Stevenson,  a  graduate  of  Dart- 
mouth College,  to  all  of  whom  heartfelt 
sympathy  is  extended.  Mr.  Stevenson  in 
his  student  days  was  student  manager  on 
the  Bucknell  baseball  team  and  a  mem- 
ber of  Phi  Kappa  Psi.  He  continued  his 
interest  in  Bucknell  affairs  throughout  his 
lifetime  and  for  many  years  has  been  a 
P.\TRON  of  the  University  as  is  his  son, 
James.

Bucknell  had  another  birthday.  Those 
in  this  area  of  Union  County  had  a  great 
turnout.  We  had  95  persons  in  atten- 
dance. I  think  they  came  to  look  over 
Nesbit's  Folly,  now  called  the  Lewisburg 
Club. 

There  was  another  challenge — to  the 
caterer — to  see  if  the  meal  would  be  im- 
proved over  that  of  last  year.  After  a 
careful  survey,  the  dinner  was  highly  ap- 
proved. Like  the  Howard  Johnson  Res- 
taurants request  card,  the  service  was 
,t,'Ood,  portions  large  and  tables  clean.  The 
dining  room  dark.  Difficult  to  identify 
speaker — though  I  knew  who  he  was.  Bob 
Streeter,  Class  of  19,38,  most  able  fellow, 
now  Dean  of  the  College  at  University  of 
Chicago.  He  spoke  in  a  foreign  language 
Cas  far  as  I  was  concerned),  ICven  Enoch 
Perrinc  never  used  his  ICnglish.  Bob,  be- 
ing among  friends,  got  a  big  ovation  at 
finish. 

Your  reporter  hopes  that  you  all  will 
send  postals  advising  if  you  are  alive, 
working,  nesting  and  such.

progress  made  on  campus  and  in  the  vil- 
lage, 'J'jie  old  landmarks  are  still  there,

Lack  of  news  in  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALUMNLIS  brought  a  welcome  letter 
from  Carl  Sprout.  He  is  looking  forward 
with  great  pleasure  to  your  replies  to  the 
fund  letter.  He  sent  me  tliis  interesting 
article  regarding  Chester  Higby:  "Recog- 
nition continues  to  come  to  Chester  Hig- 
by, who  retired  last  August  as  professor 
of  Modern  European  History  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Wisconsin,  where  he  taught  for 
nearly  30  years.  Upon  his  retirement,  his 
former  graduate  students  established  a 
prize  to  be  awarded  in  his  name  to  the 
author  of  the  best  article  appearing  in  the 
Journal  of  Modern  History.  This  prize, 
known  as  the  Chester  Penn  Higby  award, 
was  given  for  the  first  time  at  a  meeting 
of  the  American  Historical  Association  in 
St.  Louis,  and  Dr.  Higby  was  there  to 
see  it  presented  to  a  professor  from  To- 
ronto. After  the  award,  those  at  the  con- 
vention, including  about  135  of  his  col- 
leagues from  the  United  States  and  Can- 
ada, arose  and  applauded  Dr.  Higby,  who 
was  seated  at  the  speaker's  table.  At 
Madison,  Wis.,  where  Dr.  Higby  resides 
at  1904  Kendall  Ave.,  the  editor  of  the 
Capital  Times  added  this  note  of  congrat- 
ulation in  the  newspaper:  'To  Prof.  Ches- 
ter P.  Higby:  Your  many  friends  and 
former  students  in  this  community  and 
throughout  the  state  are  happy  to  note 
the  honor  which  has  come  to  you  for  your 
distinguished  work  in  modern  history  .  .  . 
The  honor  reflects  the  great  contribution 
you  have  made  to  scholarship  during  your 
active  years  of  teaching  at  the  University 
and  during  these  more  recent  years  as 
emeritus   professor.      Congratulations.'  "

From  the  above  1912  clan  not  one  made 
mention  of  our  45th  reunion  or  returning 
to  the  campus  in  June,  Last  year,  thou.gh, 
Leone  Havice,  Eva  Himmelreich,  Merton 
Ogden,  Art  Waltz  and  "Rip"  Ruth  said 
they  were  looking  forward  to  it. 

Had  some  good  news,  too.  Sue  Weddell 
writes — "I  do  so  much  enjov  your  section 
in  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS.  I'll 
try  to  come  next  June."     Duward  Framp- 


ton  writes  that  he  will  try  hard  to  be 
there. 

Pearl  Ream  said  the  "Gym"  is  getting 
all  dressed  up  for  the  1912  reunion.  She 
hopes  to  see  me  then  if  not  before. 

This  was  the  payoff  from  Helen  Ruth, 
"Yes,  I'm  planning  to  come  June  8,  but 
may  feel  queer  among  so  many  grand- 
children." What  do  you  say?  Shall  we 
collect  all  of  the  grandchildren,  let  her  do 
the  baby-sitting?  I'll  wager  she  will  not 
only  feel  queer  but  dizzy. 

Alberta  Bronson  Conner,  with  assis- 
tants, will  edit  the  reunion  book.  It  seems 
I  have  not  received  all  of  her  letters.  She 
writes,  "Do  you  mean  you  never  received 
any  of  my  effusions?  I  was  quite  indig- 
nant that  no  masterpieces  from  my  pen 
were  quoted  in  the  literary  gems  of  THE 
BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS.  We  do  enjoy 
all  you  write.  Maze!!!  And  I  do  an- 
swer. Didn't  you  like  my  pun  about 
A-Maze-ing  patience  or  something  of  the 
sort?  We  haven't  been  far  afield  yet. 
We  visit  and  are  visited  by  the  Virginia; 
the  Moorestown,  N.  J.;  and  the  Lake 
Mohawk,  N.  J.;  contingents  of  the  fam- 
ily. We'll  get  to  the  others  soon,  I  hope. 
We  are  always  busy  with  something. 
Where  are  those  days  we  heard  so  much 
about,  when  we  were  going  to  be  so 
bored  with  life?  When  the  children 
'weren't  going  to  need  us  any  more'? 
When  we  would  need  hobbies  to  fill  all 
those  leisure  hours?  Oh  Boy!  We  are 
enjoying  retirement  all  right,  but  where 
is  the  time  we  were  going  to  find  hang- 
ing on  our  hands?  The  way  it  flits  hither 
and  tliither  and  yon,  I  believe  time  is  a 
very  light  and  airy  article. 

"So  nice  to  hear  from  you.  Love  to 
'Pop,'  too,  or  'Hib.'  What  does  he  like 
to  be  called?" 

I   can  say  Amen  to  Alberta's  thoughts. 

I  was  worried  about  Ruby — no  Christ- 
mas greeting — then  a  few  days  ago  this 
letter: 

"Dear  Maze,  It  doesn't  seem  possible 
that  our  45th  anniversary  is  so  close  at 
hand.  I'm  looking  forward  to  your  letter 
telling  of  your  plans  for  the  event. 

"Tim  and  I  came  to  New  York  the  last 
of  August.  We  are  living  at  108-17-63rd 
Ave.,  Forest  Hill  75,  N.  Y.  We  are  en- 
joying the  apartment  and  when  the  weath- 
er is  fine — the  yard.  Before  it  became 
cool  it  was  so  pleasant  to  be  outside. 

"Helen  Louise  and  Mai  and  the  boys 
are  living"  in  Erie.  Betty  Jane  and  the 
girls  are  here  in  New  York.  I  surely  did 
hate  to  leave  Pittsburgh — we  lived  there 
for  forty-two  years  and  it  meant  leaving 
so  many  friends.  However,  people  are 
people  the  world  over.  Neither  Tim  nor 
I  seem  to  be  too  difficult  to  get  along  with 
people  so  will  be  all  right. 

"I  didn't  get  around  to  sending  you  a 
Christmas  card  because  I  wanted  to  write 
you  concerning  the  change  of  address. 

"Best  wishes  to  your  husband  and  fam- 
ily. Love  to  you.  Ruby." 

MY  VALENTINE 

"My  Valentine's  not  made  of  lace  and  paper, 
Nor  candy  in  a  scarlet  heart  shaped  box; 
My  valentine  walks  quickly  home  each  evening 
And  hurries  up  the  walk,  and  never  knocks, 
Mv  valentine's  not  flowers  wrapped  in  tissue 
Nor  a  package  that's  entwined  with  ribbon  gay. 
My  valen'.ine's  a  precious  brown  eyed  someone, 
who  brings  the  bacon  home  each  day." 

The  white  sales  are  over,  most  of  the 
seed  and  flower  catalogues  have  arrived, 
you  have  seen  the  "Rose  Parade",  Ike  has 
been  inaugurated,  Grace  Kelly  has  had 
her  baby,  somebody  has  knocked  out 
someone  else  in  a  boxing  match,  now  to 
get  down  to  the  most  serious  and  impor- 
tant event — our  45th  reunion!  Did  you 
send  back  your  questionnaire?  I'm  look- 
ing forward  to  seeing  all  of  you.      Don't

worry  about  your  "best  bib  and  tucker" 
because  all  you  need  to  do  is  search  3-our 
attics  for  your  old  college  clothes  because

my  1919  wedding  petticoat.

MR.  CH.AitLES  L.   S.\NDERS 
76  Walcut  Street 
Mifflinburg.  Pa. 


Your  reporter  hopes  that  classmates 
were  not  nearly  so  disappointed  as  he  was 
when  our  column  did  not  appear  in  the 
January  issue.  (Perhaps  Uncle  Sam  failed 
"to  deliver  the  mail.)  He  w^ill  attempt  a 
rewrite,  partly  from  memory,  partly  from 
some  fortunateh-  retained  notes. 

When  Rev.  Richard  H.  Bowling,  now 
pastor  emeritus  of  the  First  Baptist 
Church,  Norfolk.  \'a.,  returned  home  fol- 
lowing his  campus  visit  last  June,  he 
wrote  to  Marwood  Glover  telling  some 
feelings  about  his  stay  in  Lewisburg  and 
seeing  classmates  and  college  mates  again. 
Following  are  a  few  short  excerpts  from 
that  letter:  "It  put  new  life  into  me  .  .  . 
The  opportunity  to  meet  again  with  class- 
mates of  long  ago  compelled  me  to  relive 
scenes  and  events  half  forgotten  .  .  . 
The  trip  to  Lewisburg  by  Gre\hound  bus 
was  very  pleasant  and  convenient  without 
inconveniences  of  the  old  days  when  I 
had  to  transfer  from  steamer  to  tram  and 
from  train  to  a  different  train  ...  I 
just  can"t  forget  the  kindness  of  McClure 
and  his  family.  They  made  me  feel  as  if 
I  belonged  .  .  .  Airs.  Bowling  and  I  had 
a  most  enjoyable  time  .  .  .  Many,  many 
thanks  to  you  and  all  the  rest  of  '13." 

By  the  way,  our  45th  comes  in  '58. 
Dick  Bowling's  experience  awaits  us. 

.\n  item  of  sorrow  to  report  is  the 
death  of  D.  Forrest  Dunkle  on  November 
21  after  an  illness  of  a  year  in  West  Palm 
Beach,  Fla.,  his  home.  Following  gradu- 
ation from  Bucknell,  he  attended  Stetson 
Universit}-  Law  School  in  Florida.  En- 
gaged in  the  practice  of  law  and  in  the 
real  estate  business  he  became  eminently 
successful  in  and  about  Palm  Beach. 
When  West  Palm  Beach  became  a  sep- 
arate city,  Forrest  was  its  first  mayor.  A 
short  time  before  his  death  he  was  given 
a  testimonial  and  award  for  his  service  to 
the  community.  We  remember  "Dunk" 
as  one  of  the  big  men  of  our  class,  a  stal- 
wart on  the  football  teams  of  1910,  1911 
and  1912.  .A  native  of  East  Buffalo  Town- 
ship, adjacent  to  Lewisburg,  he  attended 
Lewisburg  schools  before  entering  college. 
His  survivors  are  his  wife,  two  sons  (one, 
John  B.  '52),  a  daughter,  five  grandchil- 
dren, a  brother  Ira  '15.  and  a  sister.  To 
all  of  these,  1913  classmates  extend  sin- 
cere sympathy. 

.After  forty-one  years  as  a  minister.  Rev. 
George  Middleton,  D.D.,  has  announced 
his  retirement  to  become  effective  follow- 
ing the  Easter  service  this  spring.  The 
last  thirly-five  years  were  spent  at  Cal- 
vary Baptist  Church,  Rochester,  N,  Y. 
Prior  to  that  he  held  pastorates  at  Frank- 
linvillc,  N.  Y.,  and  at  Syracuse,  N.  Y. 
During  his-  Rochester  pastorate,  church 
membership  increased  to  more  than  1,100. 
Three  of  George's  son.s  arc  Baptist  niinis- 
Icrs.  all  in  \ew  Jersey:  Robert  in  llad- 
dnnfield:  George  '44  in  Scotch  Plains; 
James  '50  in  Princeton.  Orator  of  our 
cla<i.s  and  class  president  during  his  col- 
Xvvc  ycar.s,  our  classmate  was  active  in 
Kochcsler  beyond  his  church  miin'stry.  He 
■>crvc<l  as  chairman  of  the  admissions  rom- 
rnittce  for  the  Fairport  Baptist  lloriic. 
Also,  for  several  year.s,  he  was  chairniaii 
of  the  Lcnfcn  Service  Comnii.ssion  of  the 
I'Vdcration  of  Churches  of  the  Rochenler 
area.  He  is  also  a  past  president  of  the 
Pastors  Conference  of  the  New  York 
P>apti»t  Convention.  Welcome  to  retire- 
ment, George,  from  an  increasing  niirn- 
her  of  'l.lcrs  who  find  it  admirable.

The  preceding  constituted  the  January 
material  except  for  a  few  brief  items  for 
which  I  had  not  kept  notes,  and  memory 
rebels.     So  on  to  the  present! 

It  was  good  to  find  a  few  names  of 
classmates  on  holiday  greeting  cards  and 
a  cheerful  note  from  Rev.  L.  Earl  Jack- 
son, Prospect  Park.  He  and  wife  appear 
highly  gratified  by  progress  at  their  pres- 
ent parish  where  they  have  been  for  al- 
most five  years.  Among  the  joys — well, 
let  Earl  say  it:  "We've  had  a  grand  year 
at  the  church,  and  dedicated  last  January 
rarely-equalled  facilities  for  Christian  nur- 
ture, and  the  lovely  social  hall  and  kitch- 
en ..  .  Most  of  our  vacation  we  spent 
in  Beverly,  Mass.,  with  Dodie  (daughter) 
who  delights  in  the  new  modernistic 
school  and  continues  as  soloist  in  Lynn 
LTniversalist,  as  also  in  recitals  and  North 
Shore  oratorios."  Glad  to  hear  and  report 
such  pleasant  news,  "Deac." 

Having  retired  in  June,  1955,  after  for- 
ty-three years  of  teaching,  thirty-nine  of 
these  in  the  Shamokin  High  School,  Clay 
S.  Sanders  spends  some  of  his  leisure  time 
now  as  a  securities  representative  for  the 
G.  A.  Shorpe  &  Co.,  Allentown.  He  con- 
tinues to  reside  in  Shamokin.  This  wm- 
ter,  as  well  as  last,  he  and  wife  spent 
about  two  months  in  St.  Petersburg,  Fla. 

For  this  issue  I  had  an  article  prepared 
which  included  names  of  about  a  dozen 
classmates  not  heard  from  during  my 
four  years  as  reporter.  My  letters  of  in- 
quiry apparently  I  cannot  make  sufficient- 
ly appealing.  Owing  to  the  January  ma- 
terial I  defer  this  article  until  the  May 
issue.

F'irst  "Lize"  Lehr  McCarthy  of  417  Ml. 
View  Ave.,  Mt,  Holly,  N.  J.,  tells  me  that 
she  was  very  hai)pily  married  for  over  33 
years.  They  had  a  fine  son,  who  at  the 
aKc  of  19,  was  killed  in  an  airplane  acci- 
dent during  the  war  in  Jan.  1944.  I  lor 
husband   iiasscd  away   Christmas   night   a 


year  ago.  Lize  says,  "It's  lonely  here, 
but  I  try  to  be  thankful  that  I  had  them 
as  long  as  I  did."  She  is  constantly  kept 
busy  with  many  volunteer  jobs.  One  is 
instructing  foreign-born  wives  of  service 
men  at  Fort  Dix  and  McGuire  Air  Base. 
She  is  a  deacon  in  the  Presbyterian 
Church.  Her  hobby  is  making  hooked 
rugs  for  which  she  has  won  blue  ribbons 
in  nation-wide  hooked  rug  contests.  Re- 
cently she  had  a  nice  week-end  visit  with 
"Mandy"  Whitaker  Gray  in  Millville. 
(Mandy,  Why  don't  you  answer  my  let- 
ter!) Lize  says  she  expects  to  attend  our 
40th  in  June. 

Bob  McCormick  or  "Mac"  as  he  tells 
me  he  is  called  by  friend,  foe,  and  seven 
grandchildren,  is  employed  as  senior  me- 
chanical engineer.  Car  Construction  Divi- 
sion, New  York  City  Transit  Authority, 
370  Jay  St.,  Brooklyn  1,  N.  Y.  He  took 
this  "temporary  job"  in  1927  and  now 
expects  to  be  there  until  he  retires.  Forty 
years  have  treated  him  kindly,  and  he  still 
has  thatch  on  the  roof  even  tho'  gen- 
erously sprinkled  with  snow,  good  health, 
and  happiness.  Wealth  has  been  a  bit 
elusive  as  far  as  mansions,  yachts,  and 
mink  coats,  etc.,  but  he  has  some  nice 
hobbies,  such  as  deep  sea  fishing,  golf, 
stamp  collecting,  and  taking  sterio-photo- 
graphs  on  the  slightest  provocation.  They

"Dutch"  Maurer,  after  being  discharged 
from  the  Army  in  1919,  worked  in  New 
Castle  until  1923,  when  he  came  back  to

a  position  with  the  Shamokin  Packing  Co. 
(meat  packing)  where  he  has  been  ever 
since.  He  has  been  president  of  the  com-

future.  Alice's  new  address  is  600  Rural

Dave  Mink  says,  "After  receiving  a

Esther  says  she  will  try  hard  to  get  back 
in  June. 

I  have  a  fine  clipping  from  the  Knox- 
ville,  Tenn.,  News  Sentinel  about  Henry 
Lofft.  He  has  done  a  wonderful  job  with 
TVA  and  has  received  recognition  for  it 
by  being  chosen  as  TVA  Chief  Construc- 
tion Engineer.  He  took  that  office  Jan- 
uary 1.  Congratulations!  Henry  says  "I 
was  in  Collingswood,  N.  J.,  a  week  or  so 
ago  and  saw  Eber  Swope.  He  had  for  his 
guest  R.  E.  Sprenkle  whom  I  haven't  seen 
since  we  went  to  Baltimore  together  in 
1917  to  work  for  the  Bell  Telephone  Co. 
He  didn't  look  a  day  older.  Bill  Balliet 
'22  of  Birmingham,  Ala,,  formerly  of  Mil- 
ton, was  in  the  office  the  other  day  and 
we  swapped  'Do  you  remember  so  and 
SOS,'  for  a  while."  Henry  is  going  to  try 
to  get  back  in  June. 

Earle  Pedigo  reports  that  it  looks  as  if 
we  are  going  to  have  quite  a  reunion  on 
June  7-9.  He  says,  "There  seems  to  be 
quite  a  bit  of  enthusiasm  from  the  letters 
I  have  received."  The  recording  tapes 
he  sent  out  are  moving,  but  not  fast 
enough  to  suit  him.  He  has  ten  tapes  trav- 
eling around  and  hopes  that  will  do  the 
trick  but  he  will  have  to  call  them  all  in 
the  last  of  March  so  they  can  get  started 
on  the  1957  L'Agenda.  Do  your  share  and 
get  the  tape  off  promptly  when  you  re- 
ceive it.  He  is  counting  on  you.  He  also 
wants  me  to  thank  all  of  those  who  have 
sent  him  such  encouraging  letters.  He 
will  be  sending  you  another  letter  soon. 
Be  on  the  lookout  for  it.  It  will  be  im- 
portant.

Dear  Classmates  of  1918 — to  all  of  you, 
and  to  all  Bucknellians  the  world  over, 
may  your  New  Year  be  a  happy  and  pros- 
perous one.  And  especially  to  those  of 
you  who  have  neglected  to  answer  the  ap- 
peals for  news,  please,  make  a  resolution 
to  write  to  your  class  reporter  and  act 
while  the  resolution  is  forming. 

Not  much  in  the  way  of  news.  Sym- 
pathy is  extended  to  Jessie  Potts  Ivline  on 
the  death  of  her  brother  Robert  Potts. 
Bob  was  mayor  of  Greensburg  at  the  time 
of  his  death. 

Several  changes  of  address — the  Chester 
R.  Leabers  '19  (Evelyn  McGann)  are  now 
at  32  Washington  Square,  West,  New 
York,  N.  Y.  Mrs.  Harry  Johnson  (Dor- 
othy McClintic)  has  moved.  Their  new 
home  is  at  2632  NE  16th  Avenue,  Fort 
Lauderdale,  Fla. 

My  Christmas  mail  contained  greetings 
from  a  number  of  Bucknellians — not  all 
of  the  Class  of  1918 — among  others,  Sallie 
Park  Titterington  '17,  Ontario,  Calif.,  Dor- 
othy V  i  11  i  n  g  e  r  Dimlich  '20,  Shaker 
Heights,  Ohio,  (Dorothy,  incidentally  told 
me  that  she  had  spent  a  week  end  with 
Charles  '09,  and  Agnes  Carswell  Fries  '19, 
in  Ann  Arbor  this  past  summer) ;  Ruby 
Stuck  O'Leary  '12,  who  has  deserted 
Pennsylvania  for  Forest  Hills,  N.  Y.; 
Emily  Ebling  '03,  about  to  depart  for 
several  months  in  Alabama.  Bucknellians 
sure  do  get  around! 

I  want  to  quote  from  a  letter  I  received 
the  other  day,  "I  read  your  '18  items  every 
issue  and  always  wish  you  would  tell 
about  more  1918ers.  Then  I  realized  that 
how  could  you  if  every  one  was  like  me." 
The  writer  was  Frank  Hayes,  9  East  Main 
St.,  Girard.  He  goes  on  to  say,  "Still 
think  of  my  college  days  and  wish  I  could 
see  the  old  gang  again.  I  still  remember 
as  a  freshman  giving  up  our  Spring  vaca- 
tion and  digging  the  cellar,  by  hand,  of 
our  present  fraternity  house.  Phi  Gamma 
Delta.    Am  just  a  plain  hardware  man  in 

18 


a  swell  town  on  Lake  Erie.  Have  had  four 
years  on  the  school  board  and  eight  years 
as  a  borough  councilman."  Thanks,  Frank, 
it  is  letters  like  yours  that  encourage  me 
to  new  efforts.  1958  will  be  along  in 
another  year  and  we  will  have  our  40th  re- 
union. So,  why  not  start  now  making 
plans  for  that  event — and  let's  make  it  a 
huge  success. 

Hazel  Gay  Bailey  writes  that  she  leads 
a  busy  life  in  Dunedin  Isles — bridge, 
church  work  and  the  daily  chores  of  a 
homemaker  keep  her  occupied. 

I  am  getting  out  of  my  class,  but  any 
Bucknellian  is  news  to  me.  Brother 
George  '17,  and  wife  are  spending  the 
next  couple  of  months  on  Staten  Island. 
His  address  for  the  time  being  is  Bene- 
dict Road,  Dongan  Hills,  Staten  Island  4, 
N.  Y.  He  would  be  delighted  to  hear 
from  17ers  I  know.  He  is  going  in  town 
for  the  boat  show,  and  I  know  that  El- 
eanor will  have  her  hands  full  getting  him 
out  before  they  close  the  doors. 

Only  seventeen  more  months  until  re- 
union time!    Start  planning  NOW.

ried a  story  of  "The  Flying  Carp"  refer- 
ring, of  course,  to  our  most  famous  and 
energetic  preacher  and  classmate!  It  was 
his  idea  to  round  up  young  religious  lag-

^'our  response  to  the  questionnaire  sent

preciation by  keeping  yini  supplied  with 
news  of  "29-crs"  for  many  issues  lo  come. 

Clara  Fortner  Sweeney,  ("Jerry,"  lo  all

report  that  his  son  Ralph  is  now  a  fresh- 
man at  the  University.  We  shall  look  for- 
ward to  his  returning  to  the  campus  quite 
often  in  the  future. 

The  Class  of  '29  is  also  very  proud  of 
two  "Bucknell  daughters,"  in  the  persons 
of  the  daughters  of  Raldo  Shipman.  Ther- 
esa is  a  senior  and  Janice  is  a  member  of 
the  class  of  1960.  Raldo  is  a  manufacturer 
in  the  city  of  Sunbury. 

Our  friend  of  many  years,  Marie  Trunk 
Barlow  '31,  wrote  us  about  her  husband 
and  our  own  Rod  Barlow.  He  is  employ- 
ment supervisor,  Eastern  area,  of  the  Bell 
Telephone  Co.  Of  equal  interest  is  the 
fact  that  he  is  an  assistant  leader  of  a 
girl  scout  troop.  Rod's  twin  daughters, 
Jacque  and  Jill,  are  members  of  this  troop, 
which  in  1953  set  up  an  earning  program 
to  travel  in  Europe  in  1957.  They  are 
about  to  see  the  culmination.  Thirteen 
girls,  all  16  years  of  age  and  classmates, 
have  earned  their  budget  of  $12,350  by 
doing  baby-sitting,  collecting  papers  for 
scrap,  offering  a  community  catering  ser- 
vice and  a  children's  party  service,  and 
operating  a  nation-wide  mail  order  busi- 
ness in  the  egg  cases  of  the  praying  man- 
tis. Their  ads  have  appeared  in  Horticul- 
ture and  Organic  Gardening,  Marie  and  the 
girls  will  travel  via  ship  and  Rod  by  plane. 
The  girls  sail  June  17th  on  the  T.  S.  New 
York  and  will  return  home  August  27th. 

Dr.  Clarence  W.  Cranford  was  honored 
New  Year's  Eve  by  his  congregation  on 
the  25th  anniversary  of  his  ordination  into 
the  ministry.  Dr.  Cranford  has  been  serv- 
ing the  Calvary  Baptist  Church,  8th  and 
H  Streets,  N.  W.,  Washington,  D.  C, 
since  1942.  He  has  been  president  of  the 
Washington  Federation  of  Churches  and 
the  District  Baptist  Convention  and  is  now 
president  of  the  American  Baptist  Home 
Mission  Societies.  His  most  recent  book. 
Taught  by  the  Master,  was  published  in 
September  by  the  Sunday  School  Board 
of  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention.  Dur- 
ing his  ministry,  he  has  received  ixiore 
than  3500  persons  into  church  member- 
ship and  participated  in  many  worthy  civ- 
ic enterprises.  Dr.  Cranford  is  married  to 
the  former  Kathryn  Young  and  has  two 
children,  Richard,  17,  and  Carolyn,  12 
years  old.

Bloomsburg,  Pa. 


We  are  very  proud  of  our  feature  article 
which  appeared  in  the  last  issue  of  THE 
BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS  on  Fred  Eng- 
lerth  (we  called  him  Freddy)  who  is  mak- 
ing a  great  contribution  on  eye  operations 
and  community  service  in  Me.xico.  At 
Bucknell  he  played  varsity  tennis  for 
three  years,  was  captain-manager  and 
sponsored     tournaments,     but     has     since 


switched  to  promotion  of  golf  in  the  South. 
(I  recall  playing  tennis  with  his  sister  as 
a  freshman.)  In  many  ways  Freddy  is 
"hitting  the  ball"  in  championship  style. 
Was  glad  to  hear  from  my  husband's 
(Ernie)  fraternity  brother  in  Phi  Lambda 
Theta,  George  Eastbiirn,  now  in  Lans- 
dale.  He  started  working  last  August  as 
quality  control  supervisor  at  the  Penn- 
dale  Instant  Coffee  Company.  He  says, 
"Best  of  luck,  Janet,  and  continued  con- 
gratulations to  you  on  your  most  excellent 
column  in  the  ALUMNUS — and  may  you 
keep  it  up  for  forty-four  more  years." 
Thanks  for  the  kind  words,  George. 

We  proudly  claim  that  Tom  Wilkenson 
(Thomas  H.),  age  46,  of  our  class,  is  boss 
of  the  largest  safety  program  in  the  world. 
He  is  civilian  safety  director  of  the  United 
States  Army — a  program  which  covers 
over  2  million  people,  both  military  and 
civilian,  and  is  broader  in  scope  than  any 
other,  either  in  government  or  private 
industry.  What  I  admire  about  him  is  his 
character,  clearly  shown  in  his  face.  Ac- 
cording to  an  article  appearing  in  Safety 
Staiidardj,  published  by  the  U.  S.  Depart- 
ment of  Labor,  in  1934,  a  few  months  after 
graduation  Tom  suffered  a  mill  accident 
which  cost  him  his  right  arm.  This  was 
the  compelling  reason  that  caused  him  to 
enter  the  accident-prevention  field  and  to 
remain  in  that  work.  After  his  loss  he 
went  to  the  LIniversity  of  Pittsburgh, 
traveling  90  miles  each  daj'  between  class- 
es and  his  full-time  job.  He  tells  you 
with  a  grin,  "I  felt  that  anybody  stupid 
enough  to  get  jammed  up  in  a  machine 
needed  more  education."  Not  only  has 
Tom  been  nationally  recognized  in  the 
United  States,  but  also  for  five  overseas 
commands,  having  served  personally  as 
head  of  safety  in  the  Far  East  (Tokyo) 
and  in  the  Pacific  (Honolulu).  On  the 
home  front,  his  wife,  Jo,  and  two  sons, 
Tommy,  11,  and  Mike,  8,  are  readjusting 
to  Eastern  United  States  in  a  modest  but 
comfortable  home  in  Marian  Park,  which 
is  adjacent  to  Bucknell  Manor  and  a  few 
miles  south  of  Alexandria,  Va. 

Bucknellians  in  the  Columbia  County 
area  met  for  a  Birthday  Party  on  Febru- 
ary 4,  1957,  at  the  Hotel  Magee  in  Blooms- 
burg, upon  call  by  local  president  J.  Claire 
Patterson  '35,  head  of  the  local  public 
schools.  Speaker  for  the  evening  was  Mr. 
Forrest  Brown  of  Bucknell.

fessors of  all  time,  who  was  a  professor  of 
sociology  and  dean  of  men  at  Bucknell 
from  1930  to  1940,  is  still  director  of  the 
Hogg  Foundation  and  professor  of  soci- 
ology at  the  L  niversity  of  Texas.  He  is, 
as  is  to  be  expected,  the  leading  sociologist 
and  mental  hygienist  in  the  Southwest. 

Our  Christmas  holiday  of  two  weeks 
was  blessed  by  cards  and  notes  from 
Buckiiellians:  Rom  Rivenburg  Balsbaugh, 
Marion  Root  Frank,  Peg  Weddell  Peters, 
Bobby  Duane  Matthews,  Ann  Graybill  '3^, 
and  a  new=y  letter  from  Bert  Rutgers  '36, 
who  would  love  to  hear  from  and  see 
Bucknell  friends.  Jane  Millikin  Abbott  is 
now  living  at  60  Byron  Rd.,  Weston,

their  early  years  together,  just  as  Eleanor

At  Christmas-time  the  class  reporters 
received  dark  blue  desk  baskets  embossed 
with  the  Bucknell  seal  from  Alumni  Head- 
quarters. I  hope  that  during  the  coming 
year  you  are  going  to  help  me  keep  mine 
filled  with  class  notes  for  this  column. 

At  the  Alumni  Swim  Night  held  at  the 
new  Freas-Rooke  Pool  during  the  hoH- 
days,  I  saw  Janet  Soars  Piatt  and  Margie 
Blair  Mathias  with  their  children.  Janet 
confessed  that  after  she  saw  our  class  pic- 
ture in  the  ALUMNUS  and  read  Charles 
Gwynne's  fine  report  of  our  reunion,  slie 
was  sorry  she  hadn't  attended. 

Did  you  receive  your  copy  of  Timley,  the 
eighth  annual  report  of  the  Alumni  Fund? 
Wasn't  it  clever?  I  hope  you  took  time 
to  read  it  carefully  before  is  was  misplaced 
in  the  shuffle  of  Christmas  mail.  Thanks 
to  Bob  Jones'  generous  ofifer  at  our  reun- 
ion to  match  our  contribution  to  the  fund, 
our  class  made  a  better  showing  than  in 
previous  years,  but  we  still  failed  to  reach 
honorable  mention.  Our  contributions  to- 
taled $1,134.50  with  20%  of  our  members 
participating.  Let's  try  to  have  an  even 
better  percentage  of  contributors  this  year. 
Keep  in  mind  that  the  fact  of  our  giving 
is  more  important  than  the  size  of  the 
gift.  The  1957  goal  is  $50,000  from  4,000 
alumni. 

Dorothy  Mary  Swiderski  Olshefski  re- 
ports lier  marriage  last  May  to  Joseph  Ed- 
ward Sabol  M.A.  '36.  Her  first  husband, 
Dr.  'Vincent  C.  Olshefski  '39,  died  in  1945. 
The  Sabols  live  at  250  South  Poplar  St., 
Mt.  Carmel.  This  brings  our  recorded  to- 
tal of  "class  ties"  ('36ers  married  to  '36ers) 
to  14. 

'Virginia  R.  Brandon  was  recently  re- 
elected to  the  Broaddus  Hospital  (Philip- 
pi,  W.  Va.)  Board  of  Trustees  for  a  three- 
year  term. 

Mrs.  Walter  Pluto  (Irene  V.  Lewski), 
806  Linden  St.,  Bethlehem,  is  taking  a 
brief  respite  from  her  teaching  duties.  .She 
is  busy  at  home  with  her  two  daughters, 
Carlene,  6,  and  Patrice,  1^.  (Apologies! 
In  our  1936  reunion  Ijook  we  used  the 
name  Patricia  instead  of  Patrice.)

ization in  this  area.

we  have  him  pinned  down  in  a  certain  lo- 
cation, has  now  been  made  senior  chaplain 
of  the  Naval  Air  Station  at  Barber's  Point, 
Territory  of  Hawaii.  As  usual.  Bob,  in

Bob  Puff,  our  president,  and  his  plan-

As  you  can  see  the  men  far  outnumber 
the  women — so  come  on  girls — send  those 
cards  to  me  soon — I  have  had  ninety 
replies,  twenty-seven  plan  to  come  and 
twenty-eight  hope  to  make  the  reunion. 
There  have  been  many  personal  notes  on 
the  cards.  Far  too  many  to  include  in 
this  report.  However,  it  will  be  inter- 
esting to  read  them  when  we  are  all 
together. 

Be  sure  and  remember  the  date,  June 
7-9.  Come  and  "hash-over"  old  times  and 
new  with  all  your  classmates.

Received  a  welcome  Christmas  note  from 
Jean  A.  Painter,  who  is  chairman  of  the 
Imsiness  department  of  the  Kittanning 
Senior  High  School.  "Paint"  was  enthus- 
ing over  a  three-month,  twelve-country 
European  tour  made  last  summer.  Now, 
with  appetite  whetted,  she  is  planning  and 
saving  for  an  encore  this  year.  Don't  for- 
get to  report  the  highlights  for  us,  Jean. 
Elizabeth  Doughty  Scanlan,  Jr.,  bright- 
ened my  day  when  she  found  time  to  send 
a  letter  full  of  interesting  news.  Betsey  re- 
ports that  Karin  A.  Nelson,  who  has  been 
working  for  the  National  Labor  Relations 
Board  in  San  Francisco  for  some  six  years, 
was  married  February  10th  in  the  First 
Presbyterian  Church,  Springfield,  N.  J^, 
to  John  Truesdale  of  Washington,  D.  C. 
Our  best  wishes. 

Still  quoting  Betsey,  Richard  and  Nor- 
ma Rogers  Westneat  announce  the  arrival 
of  their  fourth  daughter  last  November 
8th.  The  Vv'estneat's  live  in  Hamden, 
Conn.,  and  Dick  is  a  pediatrician.  Natur- 
ally, it  figures. 

Betsey  further  reported  that  Audrey  J. 
Bishop,  feature  writer  for  the  Baltimore 
Sunday  Sun,  covered  the  recent  New  York 
fashion  showings  for  her  paper.  How 
about  a  feature,  "Bish"? 

An  especially  nice  letter  came  the  other 
day  from  WiUiam  Webster.  Rev.  Webster 
has  concluded  a  seven-year  pastorate  in 
Gillette,  Wyo.,  in  order  to  enter  student 
work.  Last  summer  he,  his  wife  Marie, 
and  their  three  children  undertook  a  spe- 
cial assignment  in  Minneapolis,  where,  to 
quote  ".  .  .  our  family  expanded  to  include 
16  students  from  10  colleges,  12  states, 
Japan  and  England.  This  Baptist  Students 
in  Industry  Project  gave  the  students  an 
opportunity  to  study  the  problems  of  peo- 
ple in  the  industrial  world  through  on- 
the-job  experiences  and  evening  seminars 
...  In  September  we  made  a  more  per- 
manent move  to  Bloomington,  Ind.,  where 
I  serve  as  minister  to  students  for  about 
800  Baptist  preference  students  attending 

MARCH     1  9  ,')  7 


Indiana  University.  Let  me  say  that  the 
wonderful  work  of  Forrest  Brown  and  Dr. 
Bond  while  I  was  at  Bucknell  certainly 
has  been  a  factor  in  mj-  decision  to  enter 
student  work."'  I'm  sure  that  all  of  us 
wish  you  well  in  your  chosen  and  chal- 
lenging field  of  work.  Bill.

a  game  that  was  nip-and-tuck  until  the 
last  minute  or  so.  ^Muhlenberg,  by  the 
way,  has  a  fine  new  fieldhouse  and  basket-

CAN  YOU  BLAME  US— when  we  get 
a  smile  from  the  letters  that  read  approxi- 
mately like  this?  "Dear  Buck,  I  can't 
remember  whether  I  sent  in  a  check  for 
this  fund  year,  so  here  is  a  small  contribu- 
tion." The  current  1956-1957  Fund  Year 
began  on  July  1,  1956  and  ends  June  30,

stubs  now  and  see  where  you  stand — or 
drop  me  a  card  and  I'll  tell  you.

Chet  Worthington,  able  editor  of  Brown 
Almiuii  Monthly,  quotes  Dartmouth's  able 
editor,  Charley  Widmayer;  "The  Alumni 
Maga::ine  last  month  received  a  non-alumni 
communication  expressing  alarm  over  the 
Chinese  birth  rate.  Because  of  a  mis- 
print, we  cannot  make  out  whether  we 
were  asked  to  stop  it  or  top  it.  Either 
way,  we  beg  off."

of  old  pubHcations  and  old  letters,  par- 
ticularly letters  to  and  from  former  presi- 
dents of  the  University.  When  you  do 
your  spring  housecleaning,  be  on  the 
lookout   for   material  of  this  kind. 


In  the  school  year  1894-1895  a  number 
of  the  students  boarded  in  clubs  at  aver- 
age rates  of  about  $2.00  a  week._  During 
that  year  there  were  six  clubs  in  opera- 
tion, named  Angstadt  Club,  Anderson 
Club,  Hall  Club,  Kaufman  Club,  Neyhart 
Club,  and  Summers  Club.  Does  anyone 
know  how  these  clubs  got  their  names? 


One  of  the  nicest  things  about  living 
on  a  college  campus  is  watching  the  im- 
pact of  our  present  student  body  on  non- 
Bucknell  visitors  to  the  campus. 

Hear  what  Fritz  S.  Updike,  editor  of 
the  Rome  (N.  Y.)  Sentinel,  who  moder- 
ated the  panel  discussions  at  Bucknell's 
Newsman's  Conference  wrote  in  an  edi- 
torial in  his  paper: 

"The  discussions  were  stimulating,  the 
topics  provocative.  But  it  was  the  stu- 
dents, with  their  alertness,  their  confident 
outlooks,  and  their  keen  interest  in  the 
problems  of  the  day,  that  drove  the  cob- 
webs from  a  newsman's  weary  mind. 

"Bucknell  has  more  than  its  quota  of 
attractive  young  men  and  women.  The 
girls  are  particularly  a  joy  to  older  eyes — 
so  well  scrubbed,  so  feminine.  There  may 
be  a  dull,  drab  uniformitj'  in  clothes  on 
other  campuses.  Not  at  Bucknell  where 
the  students  are  "sharp",  as  the  saying 
goes,  and  much  better  mannered  and  with 
considerably  more  social  graces  than  those 
we  remember  30-odd  years  ago  on  another 
campus   .   .   . 

"These  young  men  and  women  are  not 
afraid  of  the  future.  Their  confidence  and 
self-assurance  is  a  healthy  tonic    .    ,    . 

2 


■'There  is  a  doubt  in  the  minds  of  these 
students  about  fundamentals  seldom  ques- 
tioned by  working  newsmen.  Are  news- 
papers honest?     Can  they  be  trusted?  .  .  . 

"This  questioning  attitude  among  stu- 
dents is  healthy. 

"It  may  disturb  an  editor  who  takes  too 
much  for  granted  in  the  field  of  nevvs- 
paper  acceptance.  But  it  is  not  as  dis- 
turbing as  the  realization  of  the  startling 
fact  that  many  college  faculty  members 
are  paid  less  than  some  factory  workers. 

"Don't  worry  about  the  students.  They 
may  feel  the  world  is  their  oyster;  they 
may  be  too  confident  of  the  future,  even 
perhaps  too  happy  and  cocksure.  They 
will  do  all  right. 

"Worry  about  a  collegiate  educational 
system  where  professors  are  desperately 
striving  to  keep  their  families  reasonably 
well  fed  and  housed,  rejecting  better  finan- 
cial opportunities  because  of  dedication 
to  their  profession  and  its  mission." 


Helen  D.  Borsch,  associate  editor  of  the 
alumni  magazine  of  Case  Institute,  Cleve- 
land, publishes  "Words  of  Wisdom"  occa- 
sionally in  the  CASE  ALUMNUS.  Some 
of  her  recent  "words"  include  the  following : 

Swallowing  your  pride  will  never  give  you  in- 
digesticn. 

You  can't  push  yourself  forward  by  patting 
yourself  on  the  back. 

At  age  20  we  don't  care  what  the  world  thinks 
of  us;  at  .'SO  we  begin  to  worry  what  it  thinks  of 
us;  at  50  we  find  it  wasn't  flunking  of  us  at  all! 

Children  are  natural  mimics — they  act  like 
their  parents  in  spite  of  every  effort  to  teach  them 
good  manners. 

A  real  friend  is  a  friend  who  understands  us 
and  still  is. 


General  Electric  reports  results  of  its 
second  year  of  alumnus  gift  matching  of 
about  S%  in  number  of  contributions  and 
about  10%  in  dollars;  results  they  at- 
tribute to  first-year  enthusiasm.  Compar- 
ing their  overall  results  with  our  own 
experience  with  contributions  from  alumni 
who  are  General  Electric  employees,  we 
find  that  we  are  off  18%  in  number  of 
contributions  and  about  10%  in  dollars 
contributed.  However,  we  are  happy  to 
report  that  for  the  second  year  one  of  our 
alumni  hit  the  jackpot  by  contributing 
$1,000— the  G.  E.  limit  of  matching. 


The  National  Merit  Scholarships  have 
received  a  great  deal  of  publicity  —  so 
much,  in  fact,  that  many  people  have 
concluded  that  this  program  will  take 
care  of  all  the  scholarship  needs  in  the 
country.  Yet,  this  year,  for  the  169,500 
students  who  met  the  qualifications  of 
ability  and  need  sufficiently  to  have  been 
able  to  make  the  initial  applications  for 
Merit  Scholarships,  only  around  700  Merit 
Scholarships  are  available,  which  means, 
presumably,  that  168,800  of  the  ablest 
students  in  the  country  will  have  to  find 
assistance  elsewhere  if  they  are  to  go  to 
college.  A  minimum  estimate  of  the 
numbers  of  talented  youth  who  will  not 
be  able  to  go  to  college  next  year  for 
financial   reasons   is    100,000.

BUCKNELL  REUNIONS -THEN  AND  NOW 


u.  •. 


A  recent  reference  to  reunions  at  Prince- 
ton University  (Princeton  Alumni  ll'eeklv, 
February  22,  1957)  entitled  "Reunions.  1897- 
1957"  sent  us  scurrying  to  the  University 
archives  to  learn  when  Bucknell  reunion 
programs  were  first  instituted. 

While  it  is  well  established  that  our  alumni 
association  was  established  when  the  first 
graduating  class  of  7  members  received  their 
sheepskins  on  .August  20,  1851.  it  is  not  so 
clear  when  actual  reunion  programs  were 
instituted. 

Was  This  the  First? 

The  earliest  reference  to  a  class  reum'on 
is  found  in  The  College  Herald  of  June  1, 
1871,  page  si.x,  as  follows: 

"Class  Reunions — The  Class  of  1856,  at  the 
lime  of  their  firaduation,  resolved  that  at  the 
end  oj  ten  years,  they  would,  if  possible, 
iiiine  together  again  and  recount  their  prog- 
ress by  the  way.  In  1/166  the  'experience' 
meeting  was  held,  t<<hen  nearly  all  oj  the 
class  were  present. 

"It  was  found  that  all  tvcre  yet  living; 
that  most  7vere  married,  and  that  there  was 
coming  along  a  goodly  number  oj  future 
candidates  for  admi.tsion  into  the  various 
departments  of  the  University   .    .    . 

".So  good  a  time  had  they  at  their  dccenial 
meeting,  that  they  agreed  to  come  together 
again  at  the  end  of  five  years. 

"This  matter  of  class  reunion  is  one  which 
commends  itself  to  the  consideration  of 
graduating  classes.  It  tends  to  keep  alive 
the  kindly  feelings  which  ought  ever  to  exist 
among  classmates ;  it  acts  as  a  stimulus  to 
greater  actii'ily  and  accomplishment  in  life, 
and  serves  to  increase  the  attachment  of  the 
.llumnus  to  his  Alma  Mater." 

The  alK<ve  reference  would  neem  to  inrli- 
latr  thai  i'uckiirll  wai  among  the  first  to 
e^tabli^h    orgaiiizifd    reunion    prograniK.      If 

.VI  A  V    I  «  S  7 


the  first  reunion  was  held  in  1866,  and  if 
they  have  been  continuous,  then  it  would 
appear  that  the  1957  version  of  alumni  re- 
union and  commencement  weekend  will  be 
the   91st  anniversary. 

Class  reunion  programs  don't  just  happen 
— they  are  planned.  As  the  alumni  body 
has  grown  larger  and  larger,  more  and  more 
of  the  reunion  planning  has  been  undertaken 
by  the  individual  classes  and  their  officer 
stall's.  Only  in  this  way  will  the  classmates 
be  assured  of  a  weekend  on  the  campus  that 
is  planned  to  meet  their  own  wishes. 

This  Year's  Program 

This  year  alumni  reunions  and  commence- 
ment will  extend  from  Friday,  June  7, 
through  Monday,  June  10,  with  Saturday, 
June  8,  designated  as  Alumni  Reunion  Day. 
Many  of  the  reunion  celebrants  will  arrive 
early  Friday  to  enjoy  class  reunion  dinners 
on  that  evening.  Altogether,  fourteen  enter- 
prising and  fun  loving  Bucknell  classes  will 
be  holding  regular  five-year  reunions.  In 
this  group  will  be  included  the  Emeritus 
Club — all  Bucknellians  that  have  celebrated 
fifty  or  more  years  since  graduation.  Besides 
their  regular  social  gathering,  they  will  hold 
a  special  welcoming  ceremony  to  induct  their 
newest  members,  the  Class  of  1907,  into  the 
Emeritus  Club  fold. 

Other  classes  holding  regular  five-year 
reunions  include  the  Class  of  1902,  the  Class 
of  1907  (Golden  Anniversary),  the  Class  of 
1912,  the  Class  of  1917,  the  Class  of  1922, 
the  Class  of  1927,  the  Class  of  1932  (Silver 
Anniversary),  the  Class  of  1937,  the  Class 
of  1942,  the  Class  of  1947,  the  Class  of  1952, 
and  the  first  reunion  of  the  Class  of  1956. 
The  Class  of  1957,  youngest  alumni  group, 
will  also  share  in  the  reunion  celebration. 


Perennials  Are  Regulars 

But  no  matter  what  class  you  are  a  mem- 
ber of,  alumni  reunion  day  provides  festivi- 
ties for  all  .\lumni  of  non-reuning  classes 
as  well.  The  growing  number  of  perennials 
who  come  back  every  year  will  find  many 
interesting  and  enjoyable  programs. 

Class  Reunion  Features 

Although  some  classes  are  still  in  the 
tentative  planning  stage,  many  groups  have 
already  set  up  special  and  unique  features 
for  the  entertainment  of  the  members.  This 
year,  for  the  first  time,  it  is  hoped  to  provide 
a  bus  for  use  of  those  members  of  the  Emeri- 
tus Club  who  feel  that  the  parade  to  the 
gymnasium  for  the  luncheon  is  a  bit  too 
strenuous.  Several  other  classes  are  also 
introducing  automobiles  into  the  parade  for 
purely  decorative  purposes.  Those  groups 
who  have  already  reported  their  plans  to  the 
alumni  office  include  the  Class  of  1912  which, 
as  usual,  will  feature  Maze  Callahan  House- 
knecht's  home  baked  cookies.  During  the 
past  year,  the  Class  of  1917  has  been  busy 
gathering  tape  recordings  of  the  voices  of 
the  members  of  the  class.  These  recording 
tapes  will  be  played  at  the  reunion,  and  it  is 
then  planned  to  prepare  a  reunion  book  of 
the  recorded  messages.  The  Class  of  1922 
will  start  celebrating  early  with  a  dinner  at 
the  Otzinachson  County  Club,  Milton,  on 
Friday  evening.  Altogether,  ten  of  the  re- 
union classes  are  preparing  anniversary 
books  which  include  a  statistical  report  on 
the  achievements  of  the  classmates  as  well  as 
individual  biographical  sketches  of  each 
member.  The  alumni  parade  will,  of  course, 
be  a  dignified  procession,  but  to  be  sure  that

dignity  with  a  capital  D  has  been  left  at 
home,  each  class  will  regale  itself  in  a  suit- 
able identifying  headpiece  to  be  worn  in  the 
alumni  parade  and  at  the  always  colorful 
All-Alumni   Luncheon  in  the  gymnasium. 

Reunioners  Will  Live  in  Dorms 

One  of  the  highlights  of  the  reunion  week- 
end will  be  the  use  of  the  James  S.  Swartz 
Hall  and  other  University  dormitories  for 
housing  Alumni  and  their  families.  This 
year  it  will  be  possible  to  assign  each  re- 
union class  to  a  specific  floor.  Housing  the 
whole  class  together  will  add  immeasurably 
to  the  fun  of  the  reunion.  Furthermore, 
through  the  registry  to  be  maintained  at  the 
registration  desks,  it  will  be  possible  to  learn 
the  whereabouts  of  each  Alumnus  assigned  a 
room  on  the  hill.  For  this  reason  it  is  es- 
sential that  everyone  stop  at  the  Carnegie 
Library  Lounge  (old  library  building)  to 
register  as  soon  as  they  reach  the  campus. 
One  word  of  caution :  mail  your  room  and 
ticket  reservation  now  (see  page  3.)  It's 
easier  to  cancel  if  necessary  than  fill  last 
minute    requests. 

Welcome  Bock  Party 

For  those  alumni  reaching  the  campus 
on  Friday,  the  Bison  (next  to  the  old 
Sigma  Chi  House,  now  the  Seventh  Street 
House),  will  be  opened  Friday  evening. 
This  favorite  eating  place  of  undergradu- 
ates will  be  turned  over  to  Alumni  for  the 
evening.  It's  the  ideal  spot  to  meet  the 
early  birds.  No  formal  party  program  is 
planned — just  a  good  place  to  meet  the 
gang  and  to  continue  the  bull  sessions  of 
twenty  or  thirty  years  ago. 

Saturday  a  Full  Day 

A  glance  at  the  full  schedule  included 
in  this  issue  of  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUM- 
NUS will  convince  anyone  that  Saturday, 
June  8,  will  be  a  busy  day.  Beginning  with 
the  Bison  Club  breakfast  to  which  everyone 
(men,  women  and  children)  is  welcomed,  to 
the  last  "Goodnight  Ladies"  of  the  Jamboree 
entertainment  sounds  like  a  tight  schedule. 
Actually  there  will  be  many  opportunities 
during  the  day  to  relax  and  enjoy  the  fellow- 
.ship  of  classmates. 

Following  the  Bison  Club  breakfast — or 
the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  breakfast  (if  you  are 
eligible)  all  .Alumni  whether  or  not  they 
are  elected  delegates  are  urged  to  attend  the 
short  annual  business  session  of  The  General 
Alumni  Association  to  be  held  in  F.  W.  Olin 
Science  Building  auditorium  at  9 :30  a.  m. 
.A.t  10 :30  a.  m.  reunioners  will  go  to  their 
assigned  rooms  in  the  Vaughan  Literature 
Building,  Bertrand  Library  and  Olin  Science 
Building  for  short  business  meetings  and 
for  the  taking  of  the  class  group  pictures. 
At  the  same  time,  class  regalia,  to  be  worn 
in  the  alumni  parade  will  be  distributed. 

Each  reuning  class  in  their  fancy  hats 
will  have  a  special  place  in  the  alumni  parade 
to  the  Davis  Gymnasium  where  the  annual 
alumni  reunion  luncheon  for  all  campus  visi- 
tors will  be  held.  Special  guests  at  the 
luncheon  will  be  the  graduating  seniors  of 
the  Class  of  1957. 

The  Annual  Alumni  Luncheon 

The  annual  "State  of  the  University" 
message  by  Dr.  Merle  M.  Odgers,  president 
of  the  University  will  be  a  highlight  of  the 
luncheon. 

Also  to  be  announced  at  the  luncheon  will 
be  the  name  of  the  Alumnus  elected  by  the 
Alumni  to  the  University  Board  of  Tru.stees, 
the  names  of  the  new  officers  of  The  General 
Alumni  Association  and  the  winners  of  the 
Alumni   Awards,   three   in   number,    (a)    for

meritorious  achievement  in  business,  (b) 
for  recognized  contributions  and  service  to 
fellowmen  through  religion  and  (c)  for  out- 
standing service,  unselfish  interest  and  dem- 
onstrated loyalty  to  the  University  and  The 
General  Alumni  Association.  Certain  grants 
and  gifts  to  the  University  will  also  be  made 
public  at  the  luncheon  meeting. 

Following  the  luncheon,  reuning  classes 
will  move  to  locations  on  and  off  the  campus 
for  their  social  gatherings  while  other  Alumni 
will  no  doubt  take  advantage  of  the  oppor- 
tunity to  see  a  baseball  game,  enjoy  the  sand 
traps  of  the  Bucknell  University  golf  course, 
view  the  reunion  exhibits  in  the  Bertrand 
Library,  or  just  relax  and  visit  with  friends 
and  classmates. 

The  Evening  Program 

Saturday  evening  will  provide  a  variety 
of  interesting  entertainment,  but  high  on  the 
list  of  "must"  activities  will  be  a  visit  to  the

Gymnasium   where   everybody   meets   every- 


body. Dancing  will  be  provided  for  those 
who  wish  to  "tap  out  a  tune"  but  there  will 
be  ample  time  for  entertainment  or  just 
plain  visiting.  This  year  there  will  be  no 
admission  charge  for  the  jamboree — it's  all

Dr.  Mary  B.  Harris,  Bucknell  Trustee,  Dies 


Bucknell  lost  one  of  her  most  prominent 
women  graduates  with  the  death,  on  Feb- 
ruary 22.  of  Dr.  Mary  Belle  Harris,  an 
early  leader  in  women's  penal  work.  She 
was  82  years  old. 

Dr.  Harris  had  been  superintendent  at 
four  correctional  and  penal  institutions  for 
women.  She  was  highly  esteemed  by  fed- 
eral and  state  prison  authorities  for  her 
contributions  to  the  field  of  correction  for 
women. 

She  was  born  August  19.  1874,  in  La 
Plume,  the  daughter  of  the  late  John 
Howard  and  Mary  Mace  Harris.  Her  fa- 
ther was  the  founder  of  Keystone  Aca- 
demy, now  Keystone  Junior  College. 
Scranton.  and  for  30  years  he  served  as 
president  of  Bucknell  University. 

Graduated  from  Bucknell  University 
with  a  bachelor  of  arts  degree  in  1894  and 
a  master's  degree  one  year  later,  she  was 
also  awarded  an  honorary-  doctor  of  laws 
degree  bv  Bucknell  in  1927  and  by  Mor- 
ris-Harvey College  in  1940.  In  1900  she 
earned  the  doctor  of  philosophy  degree 
from  the  University  of  Chicago. 

She  taught  Latin  at  Morris-Harvey  Col- 
lege from  1900  to  1912.  and  then  spent 
two  years  of  teaching  and  study  abroad. 

When  she  returned  to  this  country  in 
1914  her  friend.  Dr.  Katharine  B.  Davis, 
then  Xew  York  City  Correction  Commis- 
sioner, appointed  her  superintendent  in 
charge  of  the  women  prisoners  in  the 
workhouse  on  Blackwells  Island  in  New 
York.  In  later  years.  Dr.  Harris  recalled 
jestingly:  "They  met  me  at  the  boat  and 
put  me  in  the  workhouse."  It  was  thus 
that  she  began  a  career  in  penology  that 
was  to  cover  almost  thirty  years. 

In  1918  she  became  superintendent  of 
the  State  Reformatory  for  \\'^omen  at  Clin- 
ton, N.  J.  While  serving  as  superinten- 
dent of  the  reformatory,  she  was  granted  a 
leave  of  absence  to  serve  in  the  War  De- 
partment as  assistant  director  of  the  sec- 
tion of  women's  reformatories  and  deten- 
tion houses  in  the  division  of  training 
camp  activities.  In  May  1919,  she  re- 
signed from  this  position  and  also  from 
the  superintendency  of  the  New  Jersey 
institution  to  become  superintendent  of  the 
.State  Home  for  Girls  at  Trenton,  N.  J. 

HELPED  DESIGN  PRISON 

In  March  1925.  an  appropriation  was 
granted  by  Congress  for  the  establish- 
ment of  a  federal  institution  for  women 
committed  in  the  United  States  courts. 
and  Dr.  Harris  was  immediately  appointed 
as  superintendent  by  Attorney  General 
Harland  T.  .Stone,  who  later  was  named 
Chief  Justice  of  the  United  States  Supreme 
Court. 

A.S  superintendent  of  the  new  institution, 
she  was  responsible  for  planning  and  de- 
signing the  buildings  and  initialing  pro- 
cedure for  the  prison  located  at  Aldcrson, 
W.  Va. 

While  superintendent  at  AMcrson,  she 
was  .sent  as  a  representative  of  the  federal 
government  to  the  International  I'rison 
Congrcs.t  in  London,  Prague,  and  Berlin, 
and  visited  in  the  course  of  her  travels 
many   correctional   instittilions   abroad. 

Dr.  Harris  attended  the  annual  congress 
of  the  American  association  and  became 
well  arriuainted  with  the  problems  of  the 
leading  correctional  institutions  in  the 
United  .Stalest.  She  also  lectured  widely 
on  the  .subject  of  prison  management  and 
was  considered  closely  assorialcfl  w  i  I  h 
work  and  procedures  of  the  federal  parole 
board. 

Well  known  both  in  the  United  StafcH 
and  abroad  for  her  work  in  penal  iuKtitu- 

M  A  y     19  3  7 


tions,  she  has  been  the  subject  of  numer- 
ous articles  and  publications.  She  was 
also  an  author  and  journalist  in  her  own 
right,  having  written  many  articles  for 
national  magazines  and  journals.  She  also 
wrote  two  books,  /  Knezv  Them  in  Prison. 
and  Kalidasa:  Poet  of  Nature. 

Lhider  her  supervision  women  in  the 
Alderson,  W.  Va.  Federal  Institution 
farmed,  ran  a  dairy,  learned  the  domestic 
arts  and  other  practical  skills  and  attended 
academic  classes.  Mrs.  Franklin  D.  Roose- 
velt, visiting  Alderson  in  1934  praised  the 
prison.  "I  think  it's  a  very  wonderful  in- 
stitution— it  is  so  because  you  don't  feel 
it  is  one  of  this  nature,"  Mrs.  Roosevelt 
said. 

After  her  retirement  from  the  Alderson 
institution  in  1941,  she  returned  to  Lewis- 
burg  and  served  on  the  Pennsylvania 
Board  of  Parole  during  1942  and  1943.

The  General  Federation  of  Women's 
Clubs  awarded  her  its  scroll  of  honor  for 
work  in  the  penal  field  and  Governor  John 
S.  Fine  presented  her  a  gold  medal  hon- 
oring her  as  one  of  ten  Distinguished

Dr.  Leo  L  Rockwell  '07 
Accepts  New  Appointment 

Dr.  Leo  Rockwell  '07,  Professor  of  En- 
glish and  Director  of  the  Division  of  Arts 
and  Letters  at  Colgate  LTniversity,  has 
received  a  six  month  assignment  from  the 
V.  S.  State  Department  to  lecture  on 
English  at  the  LTniversity  of  Guadalajara 
in  Mexico.  Dr.  Rockwell,  who  will  retire 
from  the  staff  at  Colgate  at  the  end  of 
this  semester,  has  accepted  the  assignment 
during  his  terminal  leave  of  absence  from 
Colgate. 

In  a  letter  recently  received  at  the 
Alumni  Office  from  Dr.  Rockwell  he  says, 
"This  post  seems  to  be  almost  a  mission- 
ary venture,  since  language  is  one  of  the 
most  important  keys  to  world  understand- 
ing, and  it  is  especially  important  for  our 
Southern  neighbors  to  understand  us;  they 
have  suffered  a  good  deal  at  the  hands  of 
some  U.  S.  citizens ;  some  tourists  here 
now  are  quite  unrepresentative  of  the  bet- 
ter things  in  our  culture.  'Exchange  of 
persons,'  as  the  State  Department  calls  it. 
seems  to  me,  if  the  persons  are  the  right 
ones,  one  of  the  most  important  of  the 
available  instruments  for  world  friend- 
ship," 

Although  this  is  a  new  post,  the  work 
he  will  be  doing  is  not  new  to  Dr.  Rock- 
well. In  1943  he  received  a  two-year 
leave  of  absence  from  Colgate  to  serve  as 
Director  of  the  English  House  at  the 
English  Language  Institute  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Michigan  where  he  worked  primar- 
ily with  Latin-American  students.  The 
following  year  he  was  invited  to  the  LTni- 
versity of  Chile,  where  he  accepted  a  post 
as  visiting  professor  of  English. 

Dr.  Rockwell  graduated  summa  cum 
laude  from  Bucknell  in  1907.  Continuing 
his  education  he  attended  Harvard  and  re- 
ceived his  Master  of  Arts  Degree  from 
that  institution  in  1908.  Following  the 
completion  of  his  study  at  Harvard  Dr. 
Rockwell  spent  many  years  teaching  at 
Bucknell.  In  the  summer  of  1914  he  was 
attending  Heidelberg  College  in  Heidel- 
berg, Germany,  and  got  caught  in  World 
War  I.  For  a  short  period  he  served  as 
a  volunteer  in  the  American  Consulate  in 
Frankfurt.  Later  he  returned  to  the  Unit- 
ed States,  taught  at  New  York  LTniversi- 
ty, and  finally  returned  to  Bucknell  in  1916 
where  he  remained  until  1936.  In  1924  he 
received  his  Ph.D.  from  New  York  LTni- 
versity. Accepting  the  post  of  director  of 
the  School  of  Languages  and  Literature 
at  Colgate  LTniversity  in  1936,  Dr.  Rock- 
well left  Bucknell  and  has  ever  since  been 
associated  with  that  school.  In  1953  Buck- 
nell awarded  him  the  honorary  degree  of 
Doctor  of  Letters. 

President  of  the  Class  of  1907  and  re- 
porter for  his  class.  Dr.  Rockwell  has  re- 
mained a  loyal  Bucknellian  and  a  strong 
right  arm  for  his  class.  Many  '07ers  may 
remember  his  memoralde  series  of  articles 
appearing  in  THE  BUCKNELL  ALTTM- 
NUS  entitled  ''2000  Years  of  1907,"  which 
depicted  the  life  of  each  and  every  class 
member. 

Dr.  Rockwell  is  married  to  the  former 
Vera  Cober  of  the  Class  of  1911  and  has 
three  daughters:  Frances  '37  (Mrs.  War- 
ren Dentler),  Carol  '37  (Mrs.  James  M. 
Sullivan),  and  Marquerite  '39  (Mrs.  E.  R. 
Weihing). 

We  congratulate  you.  Dr.  Leo  L.  Rock- 
well, on  your  retirement  and  on  your  con- 
tribution to  your  country  brought  about 
by  your  unselfish  devotion  to  educating 
the  youth  of  America.

David  N.  Boswell  '18  Retires 

The  whole  community  joined  in  paying 
tribute  to  Dr.  David  N.  Boswell  on  his 
retirement  from  the  pastorate  of  the  First 
Baptist  Church,  Rome,  New  York,  on 
December  30,  1956. 

Besides  the  honors  accorded  him  by  the 
members  of  his  congregation,  he  was  com- 
mended by  James  C.  Dunn,  chief  of  po- 
lice of  Rome,  for  "the  important  part  you 
have  taken  in  Y.  M.  C.  A.  work,  the  Rome 
Ministerial  Association,  and  your  valued 
and  wise  counsel  in  connection  with  the 
handling  of  Children's  Court  cases."  The 
example  and  contribution  he  has  made  to 
the  civic  and  religious  life  of  the  city  was 
attested  to  by  a  member  of  the  F.  B.  I. 
Narcotic  Squad.  Dr.  Theodore  Bond,  act- 
ing director  of  the  Rome  state  school, 
where  Dave  served  as  chaplain  to  5,000  pa- 
tients for  a  period  of  28  years,  also  added 
his  thanks.  Dave's  share  of  assistance  in 
every  community  campaign  was  always  a 
large  one,  and  he  earned  the  title  of  "Mr. 
Stadium"  for  his  help  in  building  one  of 
the  best  in  the  state  of  New  York  in  1951. 

The  "coffee  break"  took  on  a  new  mean- 
ing in  Rome  through  Dave's  practice  of 
meeting  every  morning  a  number  of  the 
city  leaders  for  a  brief  discussion  of  civic 
and  religious  affairs. 

In  a  day  when  collegiate  custom  called 
for  the  dismissal  of  married  students  from 
the  campus,  Dave  and  his  wife,  the  for- 
mer Mary  N.  Dunn  '18.  achieved  the  world 
distinction  of  being  the  first  married 
couple  to  enter  Bucknell.  They  entered 
in  January,  1911,  spent  354  years  in  the 
Academy  and  Women's  Institute  for  their 
preparatory  education  and  graduated  after 
four  years  of  studv  in  the  LTniversity  in 
1918. 

Dave  was  a  member  of  Delta  Sigma 
(now  Delta  LTpsilon),  played  varsity  foot- 
ball in  1917  and  was  awarded  the  Greek 
Commencement  prize  at  graduation.  He 
earned  the  degree  of  B.D.  at  Rochester 
Theological  Seminary  in  1922,  the  A.M. 
from  Bucknell  in  1922,  and  was  awarded 
the  Honorary  Doctor  of  Divinity  by  Buck- 
nell in  1952  when  he  preached  the  bac- 
calaureate sermon. 

He  was  born  October  16,  1886,  at  Aber- 
tillery,  Monmouthshire,  England,  and  mar- 
ried Mary  N.  Dunn  '18  on  May  27.  1907. 
Their    two    sons,    David    N.    Boswell.    Ir. 


and  Wallace  D.  Boswell  were  both  gradu- 
ated from  Bucknell  in  the  Class  of  1949. 

Possessor  of  a  splendid  singing  voice 
Dave  has  been  a  sacred  soloist  for  many 
years  and  is  the  originator  and  singer  of 
"the  sermon  in  song." 

Always  a  loyal  supporter  of  Bucknell 
University,  he  has  served  his  Class  of  1918 
in  a  number  of  capacities  in  the  past,  nota- 
bly as  class  reporter  and  class  fund  agent. 

The  Bucknell  campus  family  joins  in 
saluting  Dr.  Boswell  in  the  achievement 
of  a  distinguished  career  of  service  to 
mankind. 


Death  of 
Charlotte  G.  Armstrong 

A  year  ago,  April  28th.  1956,  Bucknell 
lost  one  of  its  former  teachers  and  most 
loyal  devotees  of  the  University,  Miss 
Charlotte  G.  Armstrong,  teacher  of  violin 
for  over  thirty  years  in  the  Bucknell 
School  of  Music.  Miss  Armstrong  re- 
ceived her  musical  training  at  the  New 
England  Conservatory  of  Music,  studying 
several  summers  with  Ovide  Musin  in 
New  York  City  and  also  at  Columbia  Uni- 
versity. She  was  a  serious  and  fine  musi- 
cian and  a  dedicated  teacher,  and  will  be 
remembered  by  her  many  friends  for  her 
ready  wit  as  well  as  her  fine  musicianship 
and  lifelong  devotion  to  Bucknell,  remem- 
bering the  institution  in  her  will.  Her 
only  surviving  sister  resides  at  the  family 
home  in  West  Pittston. 


Achieved  by  Will  Power 

Mrs.  Alary  A.  Fox  of  Lock  Haven  who 
died  recently  left  a  $154,000  estate  for 
tuition  scholarships  at  Bucknell  and  three 
other  Pennsylvania  colleges  for  the  bene- 
fit of  "deserving  boys  and  girls"  from 
either  Clinton  or  Lycoming  County. 

LTnder  her  will,  the  Mary  Ann  Fox 
Foundation  will  be  established  and  a  com- 
mittee composed  of  the  presidents  of  the 
four  colleges  and  public  school  superin- 
tendents from  the  two  counties  are  direct- 
ed to  select  the  students  each  year.  The 
First  National  Bank  of  Lock  Haven  is 
trustee  of  the  estate.

THIS  is  the  time  of  nostalgia  and  gayety. 
An  odd  combination,  yes.  but  nevertheless, 
a  true  one.  There  is  nostalgia  in  that  the 
seniors  will  be  lea\'ing  in  a  month,  some  we 
will  never  see  or  hear  from  again,  some  will 
be  back  every  Homecoming,  and  some  will 
be  famous.  We  underclassmen  are  sorry  to 
see  them  go.  but  glad  they  are  going  to  have 
the  chance  to  try  out  their  newly  gained 
education.  \\'e  hope  that  these  four  years 
have  been  profitable  ones,  tliat  liold  happy 
memories. 

Gayety  Pervades 

But  more  obvious  than  the  underlying 
nostalgia  is  the  general  feeling  of  gayety. 
Second  semester  is  the  semester  of  parties. 
parties,  and  more  parties.  After  rushing. 
the  sororities  and  fraternities  "go  wild" 
with  group  acti\-ity — pledge  dances.  Bowery 
Brawl,  Shipwreck.  Shantytown,  and  Hobo 
Dance. 

Senior  Prom  and  Houseparty  weekends 
also  add  to  the  general  feeling  of  merriment. 
Richard  Maltby  was  the  perfect  band  for  the 
prom — just  the  right  combination  of  slow, 
fast,  and  South  American  numbers.  Al- 
though the  present  trend  is  to  be  dressed 
as  casually  as  possible  when  going  to  a 
social  event,  everyone  enjoyed  himself  in 
spite  of  the  formal  attire.  The  whole  cam- 
pus looks  forward  to  Houseparty  Weekend ; 
the  students  with  glee,  the  administration 
with  anxiety.  According  to  all  the  plans, 
it  should  be  a  lot  of  fun  and  not  the  tradi- 
tional headache  to  the  people  on  the  hill. 

"South  Pacific"  Rates  High 

A  high  point  of  the  gay  second  semester, 
not  in  the  party  vein,  is  the  University 
Players'  annual  production  of  a  hit  musical. 
This  year  they  did  a  fine  job  on  "South 
Pacific,"  with  Jo  Shideler  '59,  Bill  DeWire 
'57  and  Al  lackson  '59  taking  the  leads. 
One  proof  of  its  success  is  that  everyone 
unconsciously  hummed  the  songs  for  weeks 
afterward.  This  was  gayety  with  a  con- 
structive outlet. 

Fun  With  Parents 

May  Day  Weekend  is  another  gay  week- 
end. A  good  meal  out  with  the  folks  is  a 
nice  beginning.  With  the  new  ROTC 
demonstration  in  place  of  the  pushcart  derby, 
the  traditional  women's  program  in  the  after- 
noon with  the  crowning  of  the  queen,  and 
no  .Saturday  classes,  the  weekend  always 
proves  to  be  right  in  the  same  mood  as  the 
re*t  of  the  semester.  Also  included  in  the 
Xfother's  Day  celebration  arc  Cap  anri  Dag- 
ger productions  of  "Saint  Joan,"  glee  club 
concerts,  art  exhibits,  lalxjratory  displays, 
and  sjK-cial  breakfasts  and  luncheons. 

Ml  vacations  adrl  to  a  feeling  of  good 
humor,  and  ICaster  was  no  exception.  Color- 
ing eggi  for  younger  brothers  and  sisters, 
-leciiing  late,  and  seeing  olrl  friends  were  a 
nice  change  fr'im  the  rigirl  academic  and 
wxial  schedule  at  srhrx>].  Very  few  of  the 
term  j)ai<ers  were  finished  and  even  a  smaller 
number  of  the  Uxiks  were  read,  but  college 
i<  the  place  for  those  things. 

Balmy  Weather  to  Blame 

If  there  mu.tt  Ik-  a  rcaM)ii  for  kccoiiiI 
semester  being  marked  ity  gayety,  it  i.t  easy 

St  AY     19  3  7 


to  blame  it  on  the  weather.  Who  can  be 
inspired  in  the  spring?  Who  can  spend  his 
weekends  in  the  chem  lab  w-hen  the  weather 
is  beautiful  ?  It  is  so  much  easier  to  con- 
centrate on  a  calculus  problem  when  the 
trees  are  bare  than  when  they  are  filled 
with  nois}'  birds.  Picnics  are  the  natural 
way  to  spend  time  when  the  sun  is  shining 
and  the  temperature  is  warm.  We  are  all 
so  happ\'  the  messy  winter  is  over  that  our 
gayety  is  expressed  in  activities. 

Leader  Selection  Tempers  Mood 

In  addition  to  studying,  which  is  not  ig- 
nored despite  all  appearances,  an  important 
serious  aspect  of  the  second  semester  is  the 
selection  and  election  of  students  to  lead  the 
various  organizations.  Nominating  com- 
mittees for  the  student  governments  spend 
many  long  hours  going  over  people  eligible 
for  the  different  offices.  They  realize  the 
importance  of  selecting  students  who  have 
both  the  backing  of  their  classmates  and 
the  leadership  abilities  to  effectively  guide 
the  school.  The  student  body  also  realizes 
the  important  part  it  plays  in  electing  the 
right  candidate. 

Other  organizations,  such  as  clubs,  hon- 
oraries.  and  activities  also  spend  their  efforts 
in  picking  the  leaders  to  guide  their  groups. 
The  selection  of  editorial  staffs  for  the 
various  student  publications  is  another  part 
of  the  serious  business  of  choosing  leaders. 

Margaret  Mead  to  Speak 

The  coming  of  Margaret  Mead,  world 
famous  anthropologist,  is  another  main  event 
of  the  semester  to  which  we  are  looking 
forward.  It  will  be  fascinating  to  have  the 
opportunity  to  listen  to  a  person,  considered 
by  Edna  Yost  to  be  one  of  the  important 
.\merican  women  of  science.  Her  experience 
among  the  people  of  many  lands  should  make 
her  an  interesting  and  informative  speaker. 

Also  on  the  serious  side  are  the  many 
projects  sponsored  by  the  various  organiza- 
tions. As  in  other  years  a  large  number  of 
students  donated  blood  during  the  Red  Cross 
blood  drive.  Working  with  the  women  in 
town,  Alpha  Phi  Omega,  national  service 
fraternity,  helped  to  organize  the  campus 
drive. 

The  Christian  Association  planned  two 
exchange  weekends  with  Howard  University 
for  the  purpose  of  promoting  and  under- 
standing interracial  problems.  They  were 
so  pleased  with  the  results  that  they  are 
planning  a  more  extensive  program  for  next 
year.  The  Christian  Association  also  spon- 
sored work  with  the  local  orphanage.  Sev- 
eral days  a  week  men  and  women  students 


pla>'  with  the  children  and  help  them  with 
their  studies.  The  students  give  to  the 
orphans  the  needed  personal  interest. 

."Ml  the  sorority  pledge  classes,  under  the 
supervision  of  Panhellenic  Council,  decided 
to  do  something  for  the  children  of  migrant 
workers  that  are  now  moving  into  the  area. 
Collecting  scraps  of  material,  buttons,  and 
other  odd  and  ends,  they  make  octopus  dolls. 

Even  though  the  trend  is  toward  gayety 
this  semester,  it  balanced  nicely  with  the 
manj'  serious  activities.

STATION  WVBU 

by  Roger  Nieman  '58 

WVBU,  more  formally  known  as  the 
Bucknell  Radio  Workshop,  provides  a  lab- 
oratory where  Bucknell  students  can  learn, 
by  training  and  actual  experience,  the  funda- 
mentals of  radio  —  especially  announcing, 
engineering,  and  advertising.  WVBU  also 
provides  radio  entertainment  and  education 
for  the  Bucknell  campus. 

During  this  year,  Roger  Nieman,  a  junior 
from  Woodmere,  N.  ¥.,  is  assuming  the 
position  of  station  manager.  Under  Roger 
three  new  and  important  things  are  in 
process  at  WVBU  at  the  present  time. 

The  wiring  of  Swartz  Hall,  the  freshman 
dormitory,  so  that  it  has  excellent  reception, 
has  been  achieved  by  Dave  Towson  and 
Ross  Petzing.  the  two  sophomore  technical 
directors  of  WVBU,  who  live  respectively 
in  Baltimore.  Maryland,  and  Wynnewood. 
Plans  for  WVBU's  technical  staff  include 
the  wiring  of  Larison  Hall,  Bucknell  Cot- 
tage, Harris  Hall,  and  Hunt  Hall  in  the 
very  near  future. 

The  second  new  improvement  in  the  radio 
station  is  the  addition  of  an  advertising 
directorship.  Frank  Faint,  an  ex-marine 
freshman  from  Lewisburg,  who  has  had  a 
great  deal  of  selling  experience,  has  recently 
been  elected  advertising  director.  Through 
Frank's  services,  the  station's  finances  have 
been   improved   considerably. 

The  third,  and  certainly  the  most  impor- 
tant and  far-reaching  improvement  in 
WVBU,  is  the  initiation  of  a  new  series  of 
educational  programs.  The  originating,  or- 
ganizing, and  directing  of  the  entire  educa- 
tional series  is  wholly  due  to  one  man,  name- 
ly Marc  Grosman,  a  senior  from  Newark, 
N.  J.,  to  whom  the  station  owes  a  great 
debt.  Marc  realized  the  definite  lack  of 
educational  programing  on  the  part  of 
WVBU,  and  asked  some  of  the  qualified 
students  and  members  of  the  faculty  if  they 
would  be  willing  to  spend  more  time  to  raise 
the  educational  level  of  the  radio  station. 

The  educational  series  consists  of  tlic  fol- 
liiwing  programs:  first,  "Oasis,"  a  program 
devoted  to  the  reading  of  and  discussion  of 
poetry ;  second,  "Interview,"  a  rebroadcast 
of  important  educational  and  cultural  events 
lliaf  have  recently  occurred  on  campus;  third, 
"Humanities,"  a  personal  essay-type  program 
in  connection  with  the  fields  of  philosophy, 
psychology,  and  religion;  fourth,  "Views  on 
the  News,"  a  weekly  program  in  which  a 
faculty  member  analyzes  or  comments  on  the 
news;  fifth,  "The  Music  Department  Pre- 
sents," a  program  in  which  virtually  all 
phases  of  intellectual  music  are  discussed ; 
and  sixth,  "Abstract,"  a  personal  essay-type 
program  concerned  with  the  fields  of  philos- 
ophy and  mal hematics. 

Marc  is  grateful  for  ibc  c.i.iperali.in  that 
h<'  has  received,  and  Bucknell  is  likewise 
Kratefnl  to  Marc  for  increasing  the  educa- 
titinal  and  cultural  standards  of  WVBU 
;uid  Ihereby  the  whole  University.  Because 
of  the  better  rece[ition,  the  increased  adver- 
tising rcveinie,  and  especially  Marc  Gros- 
man's  educational  series,  the  future  of 
WVBU    is   indeerl   promising. 


SPORTS 


By    HARRY    HULMES,   Athletic   Publicity 


Winter  Sports 

WRESTLING 


standout  wrestler  Bill  Benton,  6'-3",  225  lbs.,  from 
Modison,  N.  J.,  is  expected  to  do  some  shot-putting 
for  Bus  Blum's  trackmen  this  Spring. 


Continuing  the  improvement  that  was 
evident  last  year,  Bucknell's  wrestlers  al- 
tered their  1956  record  of  2-5  to  3-4  dur- 
ing the  past  winter. 

Coach  Bill  Wrabley  and  his  able  assis- 
tant, Franny  Hatton,  assembled  a  team 
that  was  strong  in  spots  and  weak  in  oth- 
ers. It  certainly  fared  as  well,  if  not  bet- 
ter, than  anyone  had  reason  to  expect. 

Heavyweight  Bill  Benton  proved  once 
again  to  be  the  toughest  Bison  to  lick, 
racking  up  seven  straight  victories  to  com- 
plete the  regular  season  imbeaten.  The 
22S-pounder  twice  brought  his  team  from 
behind  by  copping  the  final  event.  Against 
Haverford  Benton  turned  a  16-15  deficit 
into  a  20-16  triumph  by  pinning  his  foe. 
A  duplication  of  the  feat  against  Temple 
permitted  the  Herd  to  edge  the  Owls 
20-18  after  trailing  18-15.  Only  one  op- 
ponent lasted  the  three-round  distance 
with  the  brawny  Benton, 

In  addition  to  the  conquests  of  Haver- 
ford and  Temple,  late-season  losses  were 
sustained  at  the  hands  of  Gettysburg,  22- 
8,  and  Delaware,  17-11.  Other  grapplers 
who  boasted  successful  logs  were  junior 
157-pounder  Larry  Dempster,  3-1,  and 
sophomores  Rowland  Bell,  147  pounds, 
4-2,  and  Dick  Reed,  137  pounds,  3-2. 

SWIMMING 

After  dropping  decisions  to  Franklin 
and  Marshall,  57-29;  Dickinson,  52-34; 
and  Gettysburg,  45-41;  Bucknell's  swim- 
mers emerged  with  the  first  tank  victory  in 
the  University's  one-year  history  .of  the 
sport,  52-33,  over  Delaware. 

The  loss  to  Gettysburg  was  a  heart- 
breaker,  as  the  Bisons  led  the  Bullets 
into  the  final  event  by  a  41-38  score.  Per- 
forming in  their  initial  meet  in  the  Freas- 
Rooke  Pool,  the  Bucknellians  ran  out  of 
gas  in  the  400-yard  freestyle  relay  and 
suffered  their  third  successive  defeat  of 
the  campaign. 

Coach  Bob  Latour  and  his  boys  were 
rewarded  for  their  hard  work  and  patience 
in  their  closing  meet,  as  they  crushed 
Delaware  and  indicated  that  they  would 
be    tough    to    handle    next   winter.      Only 

8 


diver  Lou  Jones  is  a  senior.  Due  to  re- 
turn are  Gene  Meenan,  Ollie  Maypole, 
Bill  Barrett,  Bill  Schreiber,  Bruce  Hutch- 
inson and   Bob  Buys,  among  others.

Spring  Sports 


BASEBALL 

If  the  opening  game  5-2  loss  to  Dickin- 
son can  be  used  as  a  criterion  the  Buck- 
nell  baseball  team  could  be  tabbed  as  be- 
ing shy  of  batting  punch  and  without  a 
top-notch  hurler.  It  could  possess,  how- 
ever, a  tight  defense.  But  first  impressions 
are  often  wrong  and  judgment  on  coach 
Bill  Lane's  nine  must  be  reserved  until  the 
horrible  weather  around  these  parts  per- 
mits more  contests  to  be  played. 

Seniors  Bill  Burns,  Bob  Beck  and  How- 
ard Sipler,  the  latter  two  being  southpaws, 
were  named  as  starting  hurlers  by  Lane. 
Beck  took  the  rap  for  the  Dickinson  set- 
back. Stew  Wrigley  looks  like  a  comer 
behind  the  plate.  The  left-swinging  soph 
wields  a  wicked  bat. 

The  infield  posts  are  manned  by  a  trio 
of  holdovers  plus  another  rookie.  First 
Ijaseman  Terry  Fetterman,  shortstop  Jack 
Brothers  and  third  sacker  Larry  Dempster 
are  the  returnees,  with  Ron  Staley,  a  flashy 
second  baseman,  the  lone  newcoiner. 

Veteran  slugger  Chuck  -Sneath,  who 
pounded  the  ball  for  a  .360  average  and 
knocked  across  17  runs  last  spring,  re- 
mains the  power  man  in  the  Bison  attack, 
holding  down  the  centerfield  berth.  Flank- 
ing Sneath  will  be  a  pair  of  promising 
sophomores,  Dick  Burnett  and  Dick  Pitko, 
with  the  latter  capable  of  developing  into 
a  fine  hitter. 

TENNIS 

Half  a  dozen  boys  who  helped  the  Bison 
tennis  teain  compile  a  9-9  record  in  1956 
are  again  available  for  duty.  Coach  Hank- 
Peters,  who  hasn't  experienced  a  losing 
campaign  for  five  years,  will  send  six  Ict- 
tcrmen  into  action. 

In  the  opening  match  against  Dickinson, 
Jim  Stewart,  John  Fincke,  Bob  Poindexter 
and  Ben  Hollander  were  victorious  over 
their  Red  Devil  foes.  Doubles  triumphs 
were  registered  by  captain  John  Pulizzi 
and  Fincke,  and  by  Stewart  and  Holland- 
er, as  the  Herd  prevailed  by  a  6-3  count. 

GOLF 

Back  from  the  golf  team  that  posted  an 
8-5-1  record  last  spring,  the  Bisons'  most 


successful  season  since  World  War  II, 
come  four  lettermen — seniors  Dave  Doane, 
Stan  Jackson,  Jim  Ladd  and  Bob  Miller. 
Ladd's  individual  mark  of  7-4  was  tops  a 
year  ago  and  he  could  be  the  pace-setter 
again  this  spring.  Coach  Harold  Evans 
is  counting  on  John  Dunn  and  Ralph 
Hoover,  a  pair  of  highly-regarded  sopho- 
mores, to  fill  in  for  Don  Albee,  Bill  Wal- 
liser  and  Ken  Bensen,  '56  flashes  who 
won't  be  available  this  year. 

The  Bucknell  linksmen  will  be  defend- 
ing the  Middle  Atlantic  .States  Collegiate 
.Athletic  Conference  team  championship 
they  won  for  the  first  time  last  May. 

TRACK 

Bus  Blum's  trackmen,  winners  of  eight 
out  of  nine  meets  the  past  two  years,  ap- 
pear to  be  in  pretty  fair  shape  to  continue 
their  success. 

Important  losses  from  last  spring's  solid 
outfit  were  captain  Ed  Burg,  a  sprinter 
whose  40-point  total  topped  the  team;  Jim 
Riker,  who  earned  39  counters  as  a  hurdler 
and  high  jumper;  Bill  Campljell  and  Bill 
Lenker,  who  contrilnited  29  and  20  points, 
respectively. 

Coach  Blum's  chief  concern  is  digging 
points  out  of  the  broad  jump  and  440 
events.  While  not  blessed  with  outstand- 
ing talent  in  the  other  departments,  the 
Bisons  are  well  balanced,  according  to 
Bus. 

Lettermen  who  should  prove  to  be  of 
considerable  value  this  spring  are  co-cap- 
tains Al  Larrabee,  a  half-miler,  and  dis- 
tance runner  Art  Saunders;  javelin-tossers 
Bob  Ackerman  and  Chet  Smitli;  shot-put- 
ter Bill  Benton,  and  pole-vaulter  John 
Mueller,  Larrabee,  incidentally,  recently 
gained  Phi  Beta  Kappa  honors. 


Football  1957 


Bucknell  LTniversity  will  play  a  nine- 
game  football  schedule  in  1957.  This  will 
be  one  more  contest  than  was  played  last 
fall.  The  addition  of  Carnegie  Tech  and 
Boston  University  to  the  card  and  the 
dropping  of  Buffalo  account  for  the  only 
changes,  as  seven  of  last  year's  opponents 
have  been  retained. 

The  meeting  with  Carnegie  Tech  will 
be  the  first  grid  clash  between  the  schools. 
The  rivalry  with  Boston  University  is  be- 
ing renewed  after  a  two-year  lapse.  Buck- 
nell has  won  two  of  three  previous  games 
in  the  series,  which  started  in  1941.  The 
Terriers  will  be  the  Bisons'  guests  on 
Homecoming  day,  Saturday,  October  19.

have  been  made  as  compared  with  the  pre- 
vious fund  record.  However,  the  gains 
are  not  substantial  enough  to  insure  a  tar- 
get hit  of  $50,000  from  4,000  Alumni,  the 
challenge  set  in  the  Timely  booklet  mailed 
to  all  Alumni  at  the  beginning  of  the  fund 
year. 

At  the  moment  the  fund  total  stands  at 
$27,881.12  from  2,054  donors.  Unless  we 
persuade  another  l,94o  donors  to  contrib- 
ute by  the  June  30  closing  date,  the  chal- 
lenge will  not  be  met.  Each  year  there 
are  literally  hundreds  of  Alumni  who  in- 
tend to  continue  their  regular  giving  pro- 
gram but  do  not  realize  until  too  late  that 
each  fund  3'ear  closes  on  June  30. 

Alumni  support  in  terms  of  annual  giv- 
ing is  one  of  the  stabilizing  factors  in 
Bucknell's  financial  structure  today.  It  is 
depended  upon  to  furnish  unrestricted 
funds,  a  most  important  item  in  the  Uni- 
versity budget.  Last  year's  fund  repre- 
sents the  income  on  almost  $1,000,000  of 
endowment  at  the  University's  average 
earning  on  investment.  We  are  thus  pro- 
viding a  "living  endowment"  to  help  the 
University  solve  immediate  and  urgent 
financial  problems. 

To  keep  Bucknell  financially  indepen- 
dent and  solvent  and  to  advance  her  aca- 
demic standards  requires  the  financial  and 
moral  support  of  an  interested  constitu- 
ency. Our  .Alumni  group  is  furnishing  this 
backing  today,  is  proucl  of  its  role  in  the 
educational  picture,  and  is  determined  to 
reach  goals  equal  to  that  of  other  colleges 
of  our  size. 

PERSONAL  VISITS   PAY   OFF 

To  reach  the  Bucknellian  who  procras- 
tinates or  reads  no  mail,  personal  visitation 
on  a  community  chest  plan  was  introduced 
in  ten  areas  during  the  past  two  years. 
This  program  of  "doorknocking"  pays  off 
and  it  is  expected  that  over  400  alumni 
fund  workers  will  undertake  to  visit  5 
Bucknellians  each  to  pick  up  contributions 
and  secure  a  more  accurate  measure  of 
potential  giving.  Most  colleges  include 
personal  solicitation  in  the  fund  program, 
and  for  Bucknell  the  results  have  been  out- 
standing—40%  to  60%  of  the  Alumni  vis- 
ited contribute  as  compared  to  an  average 
20%  response  in  the  areas  where  no  per- 
sonal solicitation  has  been  conducted.  The 
challenge  of  visiting  Alumni  face  to  face 
is  being  met  by  more  and  more  alumni 
fund  workers. 

THE  CLASS  EFFORT 

The  backbone  of  the  fund  is  still  the 
class  effort.  Each  one  of  the  65  organized 
Bucknell  classes  has  a  class  fund  manager 
who  contacts  each  member  of  the  class 
who  has  not  contributed  to  llie  fund  by 
February  1  urging  a  contribution  to  help 
swell  the  percentage  of  participation.  Be- 
sides the  class  fund  manager,  a  number 
of  classes,  notably  1949,  1953,  1955,  and 
1956  have  appointed  assistant  class  fund 
managers  who  write  personal  notes  of  ap 
peal  to  a  limited  number  of  classm.itcs. 
These  personal  notes  provifle  the  addition 
al  arlvanlage  of  encouraging  (he  incnibers 
of  the  class  to  conliiiuc  a  pcrson;il  corre- 
siHindence,  a  features  enjoyed  by  both  the 
sender  anil  the  receiver  of  these  messages. 
It  is  hoped  that  more  and  more  classes  will 
become  organized  on  this  basis. 

THE  CLASS  CHALLENGE 

To  meet  (he  riass-by  class  iIi:iIIiii(.m-,  iIk- 
accotnpanyiiiK  tabic  shows  (he  ninjilKr  of 


contributions  needed  by  each  Bucknell 
class  in  order  to  meet  the  target  of  at 
least  4,000  givers  in  the  fund  year  that 
will  end  on  June  30,  1957 — just  two  months 
from  now. 

In  its  first  nine  years,  the  Bucknell 
Alumni  Annual-Giving  Fund  has  shown 
a  steady  growth,  but  has  not  equalled  the 
growth  of  many  other  college  alumni 
funds  of  similar  age.  Certainly  Bucknel- 
lians are  as  loyal  as  Alumni  of  other  col- 
leges and  are  just  as  sensitive  to  the  need 
for  alumni  support  for  education.  With 
good  intentions  they  simply  put  off  mak- 
ing their  contribution  until  it  is  too  late. 

Another  reason  that  Bucknell  Alumni 
seem  to  be  dragging  their  heels  in  fund 
giving  as  compared  to  other  colleges  is 
the  feeling  in  some  quarters  that  the  fund 
program  requires  large  gifts.  While  it  is 
true  that  substantial  gifts  are  most  wel- 
come, it  is  well  known  that  the  regularity 
of  annual  giving  is  far  more  important 
than  the  size  of  the  gift.  Actually,  gifts 
of  nominal  size  when  received  in  large 
volume  accomplish  splendid  results.  Last 
year  among  the  3500  alumni  gifts  received 
were  2500  of  $15.00  or  less.  These  numer- 
ous nominal  gifts  enable  us  to  establish 
20%  of  participation,  a  figure  that  is 
scrutinized  very  closely  when  we  approach 
corporations  and  foundations  for  gifts  of 
substantial  size.  There  is  reason  to  be- 
lieve that  some  potential  donors  do  not 
give  because,  as  they  say,  "Bucknell  is 
always  asking  for  money,"  or  "All  I  get 
from  Bucknell  are  requests  for  donations." 
A  brief  look  at  the  record  can  generally 
dispel  this  mistaken  idea.  In  the  first 
place,  Bucknellians  receive  from  one  to 
four  fund  reminders  each  year.  If  a  do- 
nation is  received  in  response  to  the  first 
appeal  (generally  made  in  November  or 
December)  no  further  requests  for  dona- 
tions are  received  by  the  Alumnus.  If  the 
first  appeal  does  not  bring  the  desired 
contribution,  three  additional  appeals  are 
sent,  one  in  February  from  the  class  fund 
manager,  one  in  April  as  a  combination 
trustee  election  ballot  and  fund  appeal  and 
a  final  reminder  about  May  30  to  those 
who  have  not  responded  to  the  former 
appeals.  But  in  addition  to  the  fund  ap- 
peals, the  Alumnus  receives  an  average  of 
about  12  messages  from  Bucknell  each 
year,  five  issues  of  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALUMNUS,  four  issues  of  "ABOUT 
BUCKNELL,"  two  or  more  club  meeting 
notices,  and  in  a  reunion  year,  at  least 
four  reunion  letters.  In  all,  about  twelve 
to  one  in  favor  of  general  news  over  fund 
appeals.  Hardly  a  case  for  the  "All  I 
gel  from  Bucknell  are  requests  for  money" 
viewpoint.

BOOK  SHELF 


Thacher  '41,  Russell 
A  Break  in  the  Clouds 
J.  B.  Lippincott  Co.,  Philadelphia  1956 

Russell  Thacher,  Bucknell  alumnus  of  the 
Class  of  1941,  has  interpreted  the  dilemmas 
of  many  of  the  world's  younger  persons  in 
his  new  novel  called  A  Break  in  the  Clouds, 
published  April  24  by  J.  B.  Lippincott  Com- 
pany. 

A  Break  in  the  Clouds  centers  on  tour 
days  in  the  life  of  Rick  Dedrick,  and  they 
are  the  most  important  he  has  ever  known. 
Home  on  leave  from  the  Navy  Air  Corps,  he 
is  awaiting  a  hearing  which  will  determine 
whether  he  has  been  responsible  for  the 
death  of  a  flight  instructor.  He  is  torn  with 
feelings  of  guih  and  desire  to  be  understood, 
and  his  ultimate  struggle  is  to  find  his  place 
in  society,  with  complete  honesty  to  himself 
and  to  those  around  him. 

Russell  Thacher  made  up  his  mind  at  the 
age  of  twelve  to  be  a  writer,  an  arnbition 
that  developed  through  his  years  in  the 
Hackensack  public  schools,  and  then  at  Buck- 
nell and  New  York  Universities.  His  writ- 
ing career  was  interrupted  by  service  in  the 
U.  S.  Navy  from  1941  through  1945.  Most 
of  that  period  was  spent  as  the  skipper  of 
an  LST  in  the  Pacific,  and  he  participated  in 
such  engagements  as  Guadalcanal,  Saipan, 
and  I  wo  Jima. 

Mr.  Thacher's  first  novel.  The  Captain, 
appeared  in  1951,  followed  by  The  Tender 
Age.  Since  1946  he  has  been  an  editor  with 
Omnibook.  and  is  now  the  editor  of  its  new- 
est venture.  Books  Abridged. 

Mr.  Thacher  does  his  writing  at  night  in 
his  home  on  West  End  Avenue,  where  he 
lives  with  his  wife  and  two  sons,  in  Ridge- 
wood,  New  Jersey,  just  a  short  distance 
from  his  native  town  of  Hackensack. 

Kepler  '50,  Rev.  James  H. 

The  Jordan  Beachhead 

Exposition  Press,  Inc.,  New  York  1956 

It  is  very  difficult  for  a  teacher  to  review 
a  book  written  by  one  of  his  former  students. 
The  tendency  is  to  read  either  too  much  or 
too  little  into  the  work  reviewed.  I  enjoyed 
reading  TJie  Jordan  Beachhead  written  by 
the  Rev.  James  H.  Kepler.  It  is  not  a  grip- 
ping story,  yet  it  aroused  and  maintains 
reader  interest  very  well  indeed. 

What  is  Mr.  Kepler  trying  to  say  in  his 
book?  Manifestly,  he  is  not  primarily  con- 
cerned with  writing  history.  The  historical 
critic  would  have  a  field  day  in  pointing  out 
errors  or  very  debatable  items  which  the 
author  without  hesitation  uses.  Mr.  Kepler 
elects  to  follow  the  chain  of  events  as  pre- 
sented in  the  Fourth  Gospel,  rather  than  that 
recorded  in  the  three  Synoptic  Gospels.  This 
is  entirely  defensable,  if  his  purpose  is  other 
than  historical.  He  certainly  uses  some 
historical  incidents  in  his  story  but  he  does 
not  hesitate  to  use  them  creatively  to  suit 
his  own  purpose.  As  in  all  such  "historical 
novels,"  if  the  novel  is  accepted,  the  tendency 
of  the  casual  reader  is  to  accept  the  events 
as  validated  history.  And  I  do  not  believe 
Mr.  Kepler  is  primarily  concerned  with  bib- 
lical exegesis.  He  quotes  many  passages 
from  the  King  James  Version  of  both  Testa- 
ments. But  these  are  e.xpositional  rather 
than  interpretive.  There  is  some  romance 
in  the  story,  but  it  is  quite  incidental.  If 
there  is  anything  striking  about  the  romance, 
it  is  its  spontaneity,  wholesomeness,  and 
spirituality.  It  would  not  cause  a  flutter  of 
excitement  among  contemporary  sophisti- 
cates. 

What,  then,  is  Mr.  Kepler  trying  to  say  ? 
I  believe  he  has  a  cause  to  support.  It  is  a 
cause  which  is  worthy  and  pertinent  at  any 
time,  but  it  is  of  extreme  significance  in  our

Phi  Beta  Kappa 

Thirteen  seniors  and  one  junior  were 
initiated  into  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  national 
academic  honorary,  at  the  initiation  cere- 
mony and  dinner  held  at  the  University 
on  April  30. 

The  newly  elected  seniors  included: 
Sarah  L.  Botsai,  Pittsburgh;  Mary  E. 
Crocker,  Elmira,  N.  Y.;  Elizabeth  J.  C. 
Gowland,  Haverford;  Janet  E.  Heineman, 
Haddonfield,  N.  J.;  Evelyn  L.  Hickox, 
Pittsburgh;  Diane  L.  Horton,  New  Mil- 
ford;  Anna  K.  A.  Kerschner,  Sunbury; 
Allan  R.  Larrabee,  Great  Neck.  N.  Y.; 
Carolyn  M.  Meyer,  Lewistown;  Marion 
A.  Schmidt.  Lewisburg;  Phillipa  C.  Wehle,

Robert  B.  Taylor,  the  only  junior  to  be 
selected  this  year,  is  from  Monongahela. 

Dr.  Dexter  Perkins  of  Cornell  Univer-

Foreign  Policy:  Advantages  and  Disad- 
vantages." 


world.  And  it  is  of  peculiar  import  because 
of  the  scene  in  which  it  is  laid.  For  the 
author  is  making  a  heavy  underscoring  of 
the  fact  that  unselfish  and  sacrificial  love  for 
all  of  one's  fellows,  regardless  of  race,  faith, 
or  nation,  is  the  only  basis  for  a  decent 
society  and  the  only  hope  of  salvation  for 
individual  men  or  for  nations.  And  this  he 
understands  to  be  the  core  of  the  teaching  of 
Jesus  as  well  as  the  meaning  of  his  messiah- 
ship. 

This  is  a  novel  "with  a  purpose"  in  which 
the  characters  are  so  modernized  that  the 
reader  is  at  times  startled.  Andrew,  Simon, 
John,  Mark  and  Jesus  use  the  terms  of 
contemporary  American  speech.  This  makes 
for  popular  appeal.  It  also  emphasizes  the 
fact  that  these  A'eiv  Testament  characters 
were  real  men.  both  in  their  individual  lives 
and  in  their  collective  enterprises.  The  very 
title  of  the  book.  The  Jordan  Beachhead,  is 
an  indication  of  the  modernization  of  the 
story.  The  term  "beachhead"  signifies  to 
us  a  military  invasion.  That  is  just  what  the 
story  is  not  about !  But  the  novel  is  very 
worth  reading.  The  men  and  women  in  the 
old  and  beloved  story  come  alive.  And  the 
underlying  and  often  repeated  theme  is  still 
mankind's  one  real  hope.

Cranford  '29,  Rev.  Clarence  W. 
Taught  by  the  Master 
Broadman  Press 

The  book  Taught  by  the  Master  published 
by  Broadman  Press,  is  a  collection  of  lec- 
tures to  a  Leadership  Training  School  held 
annually  in  the  District  of  Columbia  spon- 
sored by  the  Federation  of  Churches. 

The  book  deals  with  something  of  the 
method  of  Jesus'  approach  to  people  as  well 
as  the  purpose  for  which  He  felt  He  had 
come,  as  indicated  by  His  own  reference  to 
His  work.  In  the  day  when  so  many  voices 
are  clamoring  for  attention  and  so  many 
authoritarian  movements  are  seeking  to  im- 
pose themselves  on  the  minds  of  men,  the 
book  contends  that  we  need  to  listen  again 
to  the  voice  of  the  Master,  and  the  teachings 
from  which  have  flowed  our  concepts  of  the 
worth  of  the  individual,  and  the  freedom  of 
man.  The  book  discusses  His  purpose,  some- 
thing of  His  concept  of  God,  His  percep- 
tion of  man.  His  idea  of  the  Kingdom  of 
God  and  His  call  to  discipleship.  It  is 
written  in  somewhat  of  a  devotional  mood 
and  is  written  not  for  the  theological  experts 
but  primarily  for  people  who  work  as  laj'- 
men  in  church  schools. 


LETTERS 


Last  year  I  made  a  gift,  a  memorial  to 
the  girls  of  my  class  all  of  whom  are  gone 
now  except  myself.  This  year  I  want  it  to 
lie  a  memorial  gift  for  the  various  members 
of  my  family. 

Wish  my  bank  account  were  such  that  I 
could  add  several  ciphers  to  the  amount 
given  but  since  I  cannot,  I  am  glad  to  send 
the  smaller  amount  thinking  of  all  the  happi- 
ness the  dear  ones  had  when  at  Bucknell  or 
the  University  at  Lewisburg  as  it  was  called 
when  my  father  went  there  not  long  after 
the  college  was  established.  He  was  in 
attendance  there  when  the  whole  college 
(faculty  included)  turned  out  to  take  part 
in  the  Civil  War.  At  eighty  years  of  age 
my  loveliest  memories  are  of  the  many  wild 
flowers  one  could  find  on  the  campus  in  early 
spring  and  also  the  beauty  of  the  Chapel 
exercises  in  Bucknell  Hall. 

Good  luck  in  the  canvass  this  year. 
Sincerely, 
Gertruue  Stephens  Downs  '99

Among   the   Clubs 

(Continued  from  Page  11) 


L&ft  to  Right — Ernest  S.  Cromer,  retiring  president 
of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of  Syracuse,  and  John 
C.  Hoyward,  Acting  Dean  of  Men  at  Bucknell, 
watch  Dr.  John  F.  Hummer  '08  cut  the  anniversary 
cake  observing  BucknelTs  111th  birthday. 


SYRACUSE— The  Bucknell  Alumni  Club 
of  Syracuse  celebrated  their  Alma  Mater's 
111th  birthdav  anniversary  on  February 
2  at  MARTIX'S  in  Xorth  Syracuse. 
Thirty-five  club  members  and  guests  were 
in  attendance. 

One  might  expect  the  weather  to  be 
a  factor  in  determining  the  success  of  the 
turnout,  but  over  the  years,  we  find  just 
as  many  gathered  for  the  final  count  on 
stormy  weekends  (and  even  more,  at 
times),  than  on  fair-weathered  ones.  We 
wish  to  thank  all  our  members  for  their 
fine  effort. 

The  pleasant  fellowship  and  renewal  of 
contacts  highlighted  the  occasion  for  all, 
the  big  added  attraction  being  the  speak- 
er, John  C.  Hayward,  Dean  of  Men  at 
Bucknell. 

.Attending  as  guests  were  three  area 
high  school  seniors  and  their  parents. 
Dean  Hayward's  comments  on  his  per- 
sonal reactions,  satisfactions,  and  future 
unreserved  confidence  in  Bucknell — past, 
present  and  future,  as  it  were — left  a  com- 
lortable,  yet  challenging  "glow"  to  an 
evening  always  very  well-spent. 

This  presented  a  worthwhile  opportu- 
nity to  all,  from  "prospectives"  to  area- 
grads  of  all  degrees  of  age  and  rank,  to 
get  acquainted,  from  '56ers  to  our  honored 
oldest.  Dr.  John  F.  Hummer,  pictured, 
who  likes  to  designate  his  ranks  as  "very." 

The  dinner  was  presided  over  by  Presi- 
dent Ernest  S.  Cramer  '38  and  committees 
including  Mrs.  Cramer,  Mrs.  Clovis  Slecth 
(Eleanor  M.  Lindell  '41),  Dr.  John  Hnm- 
nier  '08  and  Prof.  William  LeMon  '.S4. 
Mrs.  .Sleeth  and  Mrs.  Cramer  handled 
dinner  arrangements,  including  decora- 
tions, a  beautiful  cake  with  Huckncll's 
rrcst  on  a  slanted  top  layer  in  appropriate 
colors,  etc.  Prof.  LeMon,  ])r.  Hummer 
and  Mr.  Cramer  reported  as  a  nominat- 
ing rommiltcc  a  slate  of  officers  for  the 
coming  year,  with  voting  duly  moved  and 
accepted  on  the  slate  as  follows:  presi- 
dent, K.  Emory  Smith,  Jr.  'SO;  vice  presi- 
dent, Kalph  F.  I^owe  '.SO;  treasurer,  Wil- 
liam LeMon,  Jr,  '54;  and  secretary,  Marie 
S.  ,Ami»h  '37.  All  officers  arc  Syracuse

check  of  the  time  spread  disbelief  that  it 
could  already  be  past  10  :30.  A  sure  sign  of  a 
good  meeting,  we  hope.  It  was  gratifying 
to  officers  and  committee  members  to  hear 
it  said  over  and  again,  "I  wouldn't  have

SOUTH  CAROLINA— On  Friday,  Feb- 
ruary 15th,  the  South  Carolina  Bucknel- 
lians met  informally  and  celebrated  Buck- 
nell's birthday  at  the  home  of  Mr,  and

Mr.  and  Mrs,  William  Scheible  '48  (Aud-

were   glad    to   hear   from    them.

SOUTH  JERSEY  —  The  South  Jersey 
Bucknell  Alunmi  Club  celebrated  Buck- 
nell's 111th  birthday  with  a  dinner  meet- 
ing February  IS  at  Silver  Lake  Inn.  A 
grand  gathering  of  seventy  Bucknellians 
enjoyed  the  tasty  smorgasbord  and  good 
dinner.  The  only  business  conducted 
during  the  dinner  was  the  election  of 
officers  for  the  next  two  years.  Those 
elected  were  Arthur  Schalick  '42,  Vine- 
land,  president;  Dr.  Robert  Batten  '49, 
Pitman,  vice  president;  and  Janet  Bold 
Sholl  '43,  Haddenfield,  secretary.  Elected 
for  a  three  year  term  to  the  executive 
conniiittee  were  Richard  Gray  '42,  Had- 
donfield,  and  Edward  Glover  '49,  Vine- 
land.  Already  serving  on  the  executive 
counnittee  arc  Victor  .Scott  '54,  Salem, 
for  two  more  years  and  Gladys  C,  Colo 
ban  '41,  Glousler  City  and  John  Jefferson 
'So.   Haddonfield  for  one  more  year. 

Retiring  president,  Robert  Rink  '41, 
introduced  the  speaker,  Dr.  Karl  D.  Hartzell, 
Dean  of  the  University.  Dr.  Hartzell 
said  Bucknellians  everywhere  can  take 
pride  in  the  program  of  development  cur- 
rently imderway — a  program  that  has 
seen  a  new  science  building,  a  new  men's 
dormitory,  a  new  indoor  swinnning  pool 
aflded  to  the  campus  and  a  new  recreation 
center  at  Cowan.  Also  the  remodeling 
of  a  number  of  older  liuildings,  'J'aylor 
Hall,  for  example,  was  remodeled  recently 
al  a  cost  many  times  greater  than  llie 
original  construction  cost.  There  is  press 
ing  ncerl  for  a  new  women's  dormitory. 
a  social  science  building,  a  chapel,  ami 
another  men's  dorniilory.  There  aii 
other  needs,  too;  endowment  income  for 
faculty  salaries,  research  grants  from  gov- 


ernment and  industry,  scholarships  and 
fellowships,  and  regular  giving  to  the 
Alumni  Fund.  Perhaps  the  greatest  con- 
tribution a  Club  like  ours  can  make  is  to 
seek  out  and  encourage  good  students  to 
attend  Bucknell. 

We  are  looking  forward  to  seeing  more 
of  our  Bucknell  friends  at  our  next  event, 
a  family  picnic.

PITTSBURGH— The  Western  Pennsyl- 
vania alumni  group  elected  its  new  slate 
of  officers  for  1957  early  in  December  and 
mapped  plans  for  increased  activity  for  the 
new  year.  The  following  ofTicers  were 
elected:  Jack  Bailey  '53,  president;  Bob 
Waddell,  Jr.  '50,  vice  president;  Wayne 
Harrison  '51,  treasurer;  and  Al  Foster  '48, 
secretary. 

Due  to  the  rugged  winter  weather  in 
such  hilly  terrain,  the  club  was  forced  to 
cancel  plans  for  its  celebration  of  the  Uni- 
versity's birthday  party  in  February.  The 
event  will  be  held  Alay  24  at  Penn-Lin- 
coln  Hotel. 

Football  Coach  Harry  Lawrence  spoke 
to  our  Friday  luncheon  in  the  Kaufmann 
Store  dining  room  in  February  and  out- 
lined prospects  for  next  season,  Robert 
Houser  brought  two  outstanding  Carne- 
gie High  School  football  players  to  lunch 
along  with  their  high  school  principal. 
These  weekly  luncheons  are  open  to  all 
Alumni  who  might  happen  to  be  in  Pitts- 
burgh on  Friday,  Women  are  cordially 
invited  also. 

An  average  of  15  to  20  graduates  usual- 
ly attend  these  enjoyable  affairs  and  the 
attendance  is  on  the  increase.  Among  the 
social  events  carded  are  a  spring  dance 
May  24  and  a  freshman  reception  in  Sep- 
tember,

Ritter  '09  Is  Active  Mason       the  ^ucknell  eieview 

Three  aspects  of  scholarship  are  revealed 
by  the  four  articles  in  the  March  issue  of 
The  BuckncU  Review.  L.  Qiiincy  Mumford, 
Librarian  of  Congress,  deals  with  the  pri- 
mary sources  of  scholarship,  manuscripts,  in 
an  address  delivered  at  the  University  last 
fall ;  Professor  Philip  L.  Harriman,  of  Buck- 
nell's  Psychology  Department,  gives  us  an 
historical  survey,  derived  from  a  variety  of 
sources,  ancient  and  modern,  of  "The  Lib- 
eral Arts  Tradition  in  Higher  Education" ; 
and  Professor  Travis  Summersgill,  of  Parker 
College,  and  Mr.  Philip  Withim,  of  the 
Bucknell  Department  of  English,  show  us 
scholarship  concentrating  on  particular  plays 
and  poems. 

Mr.  Mumford's  lecture,  "Some  Remarks 
on  the  Manuscript  Division  of  the  Library 
of  Congress,"  is  primarily  descriptive.  The 
Manuscript  Division  serves  as  a  store  house 
for  "source  material  for  the  study  of  the 
history  and  civilization  of  the  United 
States";  it  includes  "about  15  million  papers, 
and  the  rate  of  increase  is  roughly  half  a 
million  a  year."  "From  the  middle  of  the 
eighteenth  century  to  the  present  day,  the 
Library's  collections  are  believed  to  be  the 
.  best  in  existence,"  and  countless  scholars 
continually  draw  on  these  resources  to  in- 
crease our  knowledge  of  the  past. 

What  is  the  liberal  arts  tradition?  Is  it 
a  balanced,  interacting  group  of  studies,  a 
curriculum,  or  is  it  an  attitude  toward  learn- 
ing and,  ultimately,  toward  life?  Professor 
Harriman  provides  us  with  a  wealth  of 
opinion  on  both  sides  of  the  question,  and 
then  he  proceeds  to  argue  very  persuasively 
for  the  latter  point  of  view,  the  view  of 
"Abelard  and  all  other  great  educational 
reformers,"  that  when  the  liberal  arts  are 
conceived  as  a  system  of  forms  and  norms, 
of  discipline  and  learning  by  rote,  then  men 
have  smothered  the  spirit  of  free  inquiry 
and  of  the  unimpeded  use  of  reason  and  have 
betrayed  the  tradition  that  would  best  "con- 
serve the  wisdom  of  the  past  .  .  .  present 
it  meaningfully  to  modern  students  .  .  . 
create  zeal  for  continued  study,  and  .  .  . 
inculcate  social  and  ethical  responsibility." 
In  this  article,  scholarship  brings  us  up 
against  a   real   contemporary   problem. 

Fairy  tales,  German  plays,  and  lost  Italian 
novels  have  been  suggested  as  sources  for 
Shakespeare's  The  Tempest.  Now,  Mr. 
Travis  Summersgill,  in  "Structural  Paral- 
lels in  Eastivard  Ho  and  The  Tempest," 
argues  that  the  comedy  Eastivard  Ho,  writ- 
ten in  collaboration  by  George  Chapman, 
John  Marston,  and  Ben  Jonson,  which  ap- 
peared several  years  prior  to  Shakespeare's 
play,  has,  in  the  character  types  and  action, 
certain  resemblances  to  The  Tempest.  His 
article  adds  to  our  knowledge  of  the  variety 
of  material  that  Shakespeare  typically  used 
and  reminds  us  once  again  of  the  power  of 
the  imagination  that  could  fuse  so  many 
diverse  elements  into  a  unified  whole. 

"A  Prosodic  Analysis  of  Milton's  Seventh 
Sonnet,"  by  Mr.  Withim,  carefully  scruti- 
nizes the  metrical  devices  and  sound  patterns 
that  Milton  used  to  reinforce  his  meaning  in 
his  sonnet  on  his  twenty-third  birthday.  This 
short  essay  well  exemplifies  how  the  scholar 
can  reveal  hitherto  unnoticed  riches  in  a 
familiar  work  and  indicates  what  a  vital  part 
the  craftsmanship  of  the  poet  plays  in  the 
success  of  his  poem.

ALLAN   G.   RITTER 

To  a  man  who  has  practiced  law  in  Los 
Angeles  during  the  time  of  its  phenomenal 
growth  and  development  (since  1913), 
one  would  think  that  the  legal  practice 
would  be  an  all-consuming  interest,  but 
not  so  with  Allen  G.  Ritter  ("A.  G."  to 
most  of  his  friends.)  While  still  actively 
engaged  in  law,  "A.  G."  today  devotes 
considerable  time  and  talent  to  the  various 
Masonic  organizations  of  his  city.  Serv- 
ing as  Potentate  of  Al  Malaikah  Temple 
in  1936  is  just  one  of  the  many  important 
offices  he  has  held.  As  a  member  of  the 
original  Shriners  Hospital  Corporation 
which  administered  the  raising  of  funds, 
purchase  of  land,  construction  of  the  build- 
ing, and  installation  of  equipment,  he  has 
labored  for  the  Los  Angeles  unit  of  the 
Shriners  Hospital  for  Crippled  Children. 
When  the  hospital  was  completed  he  be- 
came a  member  of  the  Board  of  Governors 
and  served  as  chairman  of  that  board  in 
1956. 

Kappa  Sigma  fraternity  has  also  been 
close  to  his  heart  and  he  has  served  as  na- 
tional president  in  1937  and  is  now  chair- 
man of  the  board  of  trustees  of  the  fra- 
ternity's national  endowment  fund.  Be- 
lieve it  or  not,  his  membership  in  Kappa 
Sig  onced  saved  a  man's  life.  This  is  the 
way  is  was  reported  in  the  daily  press. 

"If  it  were  not  for  the  fact  that  Emil 
Hurja  statistical  wizard  of  the  Democratic 
National  committee  was  an  ardent  mem- 
ber of  his  college  fraternity,  Kappa  Sig- 
ma, he  would  have  been  drowned  in  the 
airplane  that  crashed  in  San  Francisco 
bay  the  other  day." 

"Hurja  was  in  Los  Angeles,  had  pur- 
chased a  ticket  on  the  plane  which  crashed, 
when  he  met  Allen  G.  Ritter,  a  high  oi^fi- 
cer  in  Kappa  Sigma.  Ritter  persuaded  him 
to  stay  over  and  take  the  night  train  to 
San  Francisco.  That  evening  all  passen- 
gers in  the  plane  were  drowned" 

"A.  G."  holds  memberships  in  the  bar 
associations — American,  California,  and 
Los  Angeles,  and  he  is  listed  in  "Who's 
Who   in   America." 

Mrs.  Ritter  is  the  former  Ila  Coombe, 
who  was  a  Kappa  Kappa  Gamma  at  Stan- 
ford and  a  happy  marriage  was  the  ful- 
fillment of  a  campus  romance.  The  cou- 
ple have  a  daughter  who  also  attended 
Stanford  as  a  Kappa  Kappa  Gamma.  She 
is  now  Mrs.  Edwin  Ross,  living  in  Hous- 
ton, Te.K.  There  are  two  Ross  sons,  of 
whom,  naturally.  Grandfather  and  Grand- 
mother  Ritter  are  very  proud. 

Allen  has  contributed  many  colorful 
chapters    to    the    history    of   the    Masonic

Degrees  Conferred  Exceed 
15,000 

August  20,  1851,  was  an  important  date 
in  Bucknell's  early  history,  for  it  was  on 
that  day  that  the  University  at  Lewisburg 
first  exercised  its  charter  right  to  confer 
degrees.  Seven  candidates  were  presented 
with  diplomas  attesting  to  their  new  status 
as  Bachelors  of  Arts,  and  an  honorary 
doctorate  was  conferred  on  Horatio  Gates 
Jones.  The  commencement  exercises  last- 
ed all  day,  included  an  oration  by  each 
member  of  the  graduating  class,  and  were 
topped  off  by  a  commencement  dinner. 

That  class  would  have  been  dwarfed  by 
the  class  of  1956.  The  502  candidates  who 
were  graduated  last  year  received  404 
bachelors',  88  masters',  and  10  honorary 
degrees.  The  class  of  1949,  with  779  earned 
degrees  conferred,  is  still  the  largest  on 
Bucknell's  roster. 

IJuring  the  first  half  century  degrees 
were  granted  only  in  liberal  arts,  philos- 
ophy, and  science.  Since  1907,  when  the 
first  engineering  degrees  were  conferred, 
the  number  of  professionally  trained  grad- 
uates has  increased  steadily.  Approxi- 
mately half  of  the  Bucknellians  graduated 
in  recent  years  have  degrees  in  engineer- 
ing, education,  commerce  and  finance,  or 
music. 

The  number  of  degrees  conferred  by 
the  University  now  totals  1S,40L  Of  these 
12,365  are  baccalaureate  and  2,572  ad- 
vanced earned  degrees,  with  the  remain- 
ing 464  honorary  degrees.  The  past  five 
years  have  accounted  for  2,535  ...  a 
fifth  as  many  as  in  the  preceding  hundred 
years.  Perhaps  it  is  just  as  well  that  a 
commencement  oration  is  no  longer  re- 
quired of  each  graduate! 


bodies  and  to  the  Kappa  Sigma  Fraternity, 
and  we  are  pleased  to  salute  him  as  a 
prominent  Bucknellian.  He  now  serves 
Bucknell  as  a  member  of  the  Alumni 
Fund  Committee.

Death  of  Albert  W.  Johnson '96 

Death  came  at  84  for  Albert  W.  John- 
son '96,  an  alumnus  who  rose  from  a  log- 
cabin  birth  to  become  a  federal  judge. 
Judge  Johnson,  like  all  men  of  action,  was 
a  controversial  figure  in  many  respects. 
His  record  as  a  man  and  as  a  judge  was 
open  for  all  to  see,  and  his  career  reflects 
many  contributions  to  his  home  county 
and  the  University  he  loved  and  served 
until  the  time  of  his  death. 

After  studying  law  under  the  late  An- 
drew A.  Leiser,  Sr.  '69,  he  was  admitted 
to  the  Union  County  bar  in  1898.  He  was 
elected  to  an  assembly  term  from  Union 
Count}'  in  1901.  In  1911,  Johnson  was 
named  president  judge  of  the  Union-Sny- 
der County  judicial  district  and  in  1925 
President  Calvin  Coolidge  appointed  him 
judge  for  the  Middle  District  Federal 
Court  of  Pennsylvania. 

His  judicial  conduct  while  on  the  fed- 
eral bench  was  the  subject  in  1945  of  an 
inquiry  by  a  House  subcommitte  on  the 
judiciary. 

He  resigned,  subsequently  was  indicted 
by  a  federal  grand  jury  for  conspiracy  to 
obstruct  justice  and  defraud  the  govern- 
ment, and  in  1947  was  acquitted. 

In  his  career  as  a  federal  judge  he  pio- 
neered in  the  field  of  probation,  and  as  a 
county  judge  he  practiced  his  firm  belief 
in  prohibition  by  refusing  to  issue  lic|uor 
licenses   in   Union   and   Snyder   Counties. 

He  served  his  Class  of  1896  as  president 
for  many  years  before  his  death  and  was 
a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the 
University  from  1919  until  1944.  He  also 
served  as  a  faculty  member  for  a  number 
of  years.  He  was  graduated  summa  cum 
laudc  in  1896,  later  received  his  Master  of 
Art.s  degree  from  Bucknell,  and  was 
awarflcrl  an  honorary  doctorate  in  civil 
laws  in  1927.  Honorary  degrees  were 
awarded  him  also  by  Juniata,  Albright,  and 
Lebanon   Valley   Colleges. 

Alway.s  a  believer  in  the  benefits  of  a 
well-balanced  college  athletic  program,  he 
was  a  member  of  the  Bison  Club  and  the 
Quarterback  {,'lub  of  I.ewisbiirg  al  Ibe 
time  of  his  death. 

Deceased  was  a  member  of  ChrisI  Lu- 
theran Church,  lA'wisburK.  where  he  for- 
merly served  as  Sunday  .School  superin- 
li-ii'lent.  Me  wa.H  also  past  national  and 
stale  president  of  the  POS  of  A ;  a  char-

and  a  member  of  the  Pennsylvania  Bar  As- 
sociation. 

His  first  wife,  the  former  Dora  Aliller, 
died  in  1909.  From  that  marriage  there 
were  five  children,  all  Bucknellians:  Airs. 
Carl  A.  Schng  (.Alice  S,  Johnson  '17). 
Williamsport;  Aliller  A.  Johnson,  Esq.  '20, 
who  died  in  1950;  Donald  M.  Johnson, 
Esq.  '24;  Albert  W.  Johnson,  Esq.  '25,  of 
Roaring  Springs;  and  Paul  E.  Johnson, 
Esq.  '32,  Mifflinburg.  He  married  the  for- 
mer Mary  Cadman  Steck  in  1913,  and 
from  this  marriage  six  children  survive, 
five  Bucknell  graduates.  They  are  Capt.

Frank  Simpson  Dies  at  84 

One  of  Bucknell's  great  teachers  passed 
away  with  the  death  of  Frank  Monroe 
Simpson  on  Wednesday,  April  10,  at 
Ithaca,  while  on  a  visit  to  his  son,  James

Prof.  Simpson  was  born  November  8, 
1872.  at  Clifford,  and  was  graduated  from 
Bucknell  with  a  B.S.  degree  in  1895. 
Three  years  later,  he  received  an  M.S. 
degree  at  the  University.  For  several 
years  he  studied  in  the  summer  sessions 
at  Cornell  University. 

While  a  student  at  Bucknell,  he  joined 
the  Sigma  Chi  fraternity. 

Following  his  graduation,  he  taught  for 
three  years  at  Hall  Institute  at  Sharon

Delhi,  New  York. 

He  returned  to  Lewisburg  in  1900  to 
teach  science  in  the  old  Bucknell  Acad- 
emy, and  in  1902  joined  the  faculty  of  the 
University  as  instructor  of  physics.  He 
became  an  assistant  professor  of  physics 
in  1904  and  professor  in  1908,  serving  in 
that  capacity  until  his  retirement  in  1942. 
In  July,  1943,  he  returned  to  the  classroom 
to  help  take  care  of  the  Navy  V-12  pro-

In  recognition  of  his  achievements,  he 
was  elected  a  foundation  member  of  the 
Bucknell  chapter  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  in 
1940. 

Throughout  his  career  he  occupied  a 
prominent  place  in  the  business  affairs  of 
Lewisburg.  He  was  made  a  director  of 
the  Citizens  Electric  Company  in  1913, 
vice  president  in  1923,  and  president  in 
1931.  He  became  chairman  of  the  board

since  1925  and  was  president  of  the  Lew- 
isbur.g  Gas  Company.  During  his  resi- 
dence in  Lewisburg  he  served  on  the 
borough  school  board  and  as  an  officer 
fif  the  Beaver  Memorial  Methodist 
Church. 

He  was  married  to  the  former  Mary  E.

fj<-ddes  W.  .Simpson  '29,  a  member  of  the 
faculty  of  the  University  of  Maine;  James 
H.  .Simpson  '31,  a  member  of  the  business 
staff  of  Cornell  University;  and  llelin, 
now  Mrs.  Cole  S.  Hrembeck  MA '41, 
whose  husband  was  at  one  lime  a  nuMnber

Listed  as  a  PATRON  of  iIm-  Univer- 
sity,  Professor  Simpson   b^id   :i   ^jrat   dis-

loyal  Alumnus  of  his  Alma  Mater.  He

liad  been  a  donor  of  valuable  documents 
to  the  Bucknell  Archives  now  housed  in

Professor  Simpson  will  be  sadly  missed 
by  literally  thousands  of  his  former  stu- 
dents. The  condolences  of  his  m  a  n  y 
friends  and  associates  are  extended  to  the 
surviving  children  and  grandchildren.

xs-  REUNE  IN  JUNE,  1957 

Dr.  Frank  F.  Pierson  '9;,  died  January 
23,  1957,  at  his  home  in  Wilmington,  Del. 
One  of  the  last  doctors  of  the  horse-and- 
buggy  days,  he  had  been  practicing  on  a 
limited  scale  for  the  past  10  years  but  had 
made  regular  rounds  of  patients  less  than 
two  weeks  before  his  death.  His  wife 
died  May,  1956,  at  the  age  of  86.  The 
Piersons  had  seven  children,  all  of  whom 
survive  and  to  whom  our  sympathy  is 
extended. 

Mrs.  George  Shorkley  (Sara  Merriman 
'95)  who  is  the  only  living  woman  gradu- 
ate of  Bucknell  Academy  passed  her  83rd 
birthday  in  January.  She  looks  forward 
to  the  news  in  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUM- 
NUS and  reads  it  eagerly.  Her  home  is 
at  310  S.  Sixth  St.,  Mt.  Vernon,  Wash. 
Dr.  Shorkley  '92,  died  in  1945. 

Mrs.  Fay  L.  Billings  (Susan  Jones  '96) 
died  January  22,  1957.  Among  her  sur- 
vivors is  Fay  K.  Billings  '43,  a  son.  Our 
sympathy   is    extended   to   her   family. 

Mrs.  Robert  G.  Shfer  (Edna  S.  Shires 
'00)  has  joined  the  ranks  of  great-grand- 
mothers with  the  birth,  on  February  5,  of 
Ellen  Dana,  daughter  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Victor  Scott  '54  (Diane  C.  Slifer  '54)  and 
granddaughter  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Kenneth 
W.  Slifer  '26  (Caryl  Dutton  '27). 

You  will  be  saddened  to  learn  of  the 
death  of  Dr.  Mary  Belle  Karris.  Please 
see  page  5  for  the  special  tribute  to  her. 


A  Morris-Minibus  (pictured  above)  will

:ti''  REUNE  IN  JUNE,  1957 

Yes,  sir,  Zug  will  be  there  with  bells  on. 
It's  going  to  be  tough  for  him,  since  he 
has  a  conflicting  appointment  with  a 
Masonic  Blue  Lodge  into  which  he  was 
initiated  just  fifty  years  ago,  but  he  thinks 
he  can  make  it  by  flying.  That's  the 
spirit,  Zug.  He  can't  afford  to  miss  the 
Masonic  meeting",  since  he  and  Senator 
Duff  are  the  only  survivors  of  those  in- 
itiated into  the  newly  organized  Masonic 
lodge  in  June,  1907.  Zug  and  his  Missis 
are  very  busy  people;  they  are  both  in 
business  trying  to  keep  up  with  doctors' 
bills  caused  b}'  Mrs.  Zug's  injury  in  an 
auto  accident  more  than  three  years  ago. 
If  you  need  to  have  your  glasses  changed, 
see  Zug   (adv.) 

I  fear  this  chicken  will  miss  it,  as  the 
air  fare  from  southern  Mexico  to  Lewis- 
burg is  mountainous.  Vera  and  I  are  now 
old  residents  in  Guadalajara,  having  been 
here  more  than  a  month.  (Of  course  the 
folks  whose  ancestors  came  here  in  the 
sixteenth  century  would  say  we're  new- 
comers.) But  we  are  quite  at  home  in 
this  mile-high  city,  which  has  the  climate 
and  the  sunshine.  Chileans  used  to  say 
Santiago  has  the  climate  California  claims 
to  have.  That  is  certainly  true  here,  and 
folks  from  California,  Oregon,  and  Wash- 
ington are  learning  it,  since  they  are  driv- 
ing down  by  hundreds  over  the  new  high- 
way from  Nogales.  The  city  is  a  mixture 
of  the  colonial  and  the  mid-twentieth 
century  styles  of  architecture;  the  inhabi- 
tants are  hustlers,  running  faster  than 
New  Yorkers  in  their  eagerness  to  meet 
appointments.  The  university  at  which 
we  teach  is  very  interesting;  it  has  had 
a  checkered  career,  and  is  still  subject  to 
religious  and  political  pressures  which  do 
not  aid  the  educational  process.  But  the 
students  are  eager  to  learn  English.  My 
new  educational  slogan  is:  Every  Ameri- 
can from  Alaska  to  "Tierra  del  Fuego  must 
be  bilingual;  he  must  know  the  two  most 
important  American  languages  —  Spanish 
and  English.  Of  course  you  old  birds  are 
too  decrepit  to  do  so,  but  the  generation 
now  in  the  schools  must  do  so.  Be  sure 
your  grandchildren  get  the  word;  other- 
wise, I'll  get  after  you. 

Mary  Stanton  Speicher  wants  old  '07  to 
hold  its  place  in  the  Fund  drive.  So, 
after  you  have  reserved  enou,gh  to  get 
back  to  the  reunion,  send  in  that  dollar 
you  had  saved  for  church  on  Easter  Sun- 
day and  make  Mary  happy. 


I've  asked  Buck  Shott  to  have  someone 
compile  the  class  biographies  for  the  re- 
union; when  you  get  that  questionnaire 
send  it  back  to  Buck  instanter.  And  make 
your  reservations  for  the  reunion  "qweeck." 
Don't  miss  the  afternoon  with  Paul  Stolz; 
he's  promised  to  have  the  village  ambu- 
lance parked  beside  the  house.

Youngstown   University. 

Mrs.  Winnie  Dickson  Hardgrove  toured 
Europe,  covering  7  countries  in  1955. 
Last  summer  she  visited  the  Hawaiian 
Islands,  touring  all  the  islands.  Later 
she  spent  some  time  in  Mexico.  She  has 
done  extensive  traveling  in  the  United 
States  also.     Sounds  like  a  wonderful  life! 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  MacArthur  Gorton  started 
on  a  ten-month  tour  of  the  world  in  Feb-

John  C.  (Heine)  Bank  and  his  wife, 
-Agnes,  have  been  enjoying  the  sunshine 
at  Daytona  Beach,  Fla.,  this  winter.  They 
plan  to  return  to  their  New  Jersey  home 
late  in  April.  Loyal  Bucknellian  that  he 
is,  Heine  is  looking  forward  to  getting 
back  to  the  campus  and  greeting  all 
friends  in  June. 

1910  was  well  represented  in  Florida 
this  winter.  At  the  St.  Petersburg  Buck- 
nell birthday  luncheon  on  February  2, 
those  of  the  class  attending  were  John  C. 
(Heine)  Bank  and  Agnes,  Mike  Mc- 
Donough  and  Mrs.  McDonough,  Ruby 
and  Gurney  ShoU,  George  Street  and  Mar- 
garet (Oberlin),  and  his  brother,  Reg 
(Carnegie  Tech.),  and  the  Earle  Edwards 
who  are  permanent  residents  of  the  city. 
For  the  March  22  meeting  in  St.  Peters- 
burg Emily  Lane  Yoder  came  up  from 
Sarasota  and  with  the  George  Streets  and 
your  class  reporter  enjoyed  meeting  with 
other  Bucknellians  of  the  St.  Petersburg 
area. 

Emily  Lane  Yoder  has  been  spending 
the  winter^  in  her  Sarasota,  Fla.,  home 
and  has  enjoyed  studying  art  and  painting 
during  her  free  time. 

Mrs.  Ida  Williams  Seifert  writes  that 
she  and  her  family  have  moved  from 
Greensburg  to  West  Hollywood,  Fla., 
where  she  may  be  addressed  at  6445  S. 
W.  11th  St.  She  proudly  claims  four 
stepchildren,  three  children  of  her  own, 
seventeen  grandchildren,  and  five  great- 
grandchildren. Can  anyone  in  the  class 
beat  that  record?

What  if  it  isn't  a  regular  reunion  year; 
can't  we  have  a  "halfway  mark"  reunion

hours  of  the  night,  the  next  morning  we 
went  down  to  talk,  plan,  and  argue  with 
"Buck"  Shott. 

Do  you  know  what?  Coleman  and  Mrs. 
Harris,  Charleston,  W.  Va...  are  the  first 
ones  to  make  reservations  for  the  reunion. 

"Rip"  and  Ruth  Ruth  have  been  at  The 
Village  Inn.  Caramel,  Calif.,  for  several 
months.  Will  be  back  in  April  to  help 
edit  the  Reunion  Book.  Correction!  When 
Helen  Ruth  wrote  me  at  Christmas  time 
she  said  she  was  coming  back  for  our 
reunion  but  might  feel  queer  among  so 
many  grandparents  (not  grandchildren  as 
reported  in  the  last  issue).  So  I  suggested 
we  collect  all  the  grandchildren — she  not 
only  would  fee!  queer  but  dizzy. 

Congratulations  are  extended  to  Dr. 
Fred  Igler  on  the  fine  article  written  about 
him  in  The  Crusader,  an  American  Baptist 
magazine.  Fred  is  now  in  his  40th  year 
as  a  Baptist  minister  at  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania  and  continues,  through  his 
Christian  Association  work,  to  counsel 
youths  of  all  denominations.  Fred  refers 
to  his  work  as  a  "ministry  of  opportunity." 

Dr.  Harry  S.  Everett  has  accepted  the 
post  of  visiting  professor  of  mathematics 
at  the  Pennsylvania  State  University.  He 
has  spent  his  entire  life  in  the  educational 
field  and  in  his  spare  time  has  given  nearly 
7,000  public  lectures — retirement  is  out  of 
the  question — he's  too  busy!  He  and 
Nfrs.  Everett  (NelUe  M.  Follmer  ri2,  '21) 
are  making  their  home  at  509  East  Foster 
Ave.,  State  College. 

When  you  get  any  mail  from  Buckncll 
read  it;  don't  throw  it  into  the  waste 
basket.  Who  knows?  you  might  be  en- 
dowed. This  month  you  will  receive 
reservation  slips.  Take  care  of  them 
early.  Don't  expect  a  front  seat  if  you 
wait  till  the  last  minute.  In  this  issue  of 
the  ALUMN'U.S  is  another  reservation 
slip.  Send  it  back  immediately.  After 
obeying  orders  I'll  sec  you  on  the  Buck- 
nell  campus  June  7-9  for  a  big  reunion.

worked  with  an  engineering  corps  of  the 
B.  &  O.  Railroad  and  remained  for  the 
next  year,  joining  our  class  in  the  fall  of 
1910.  Here  follow  parts  of  his  letter: 
'After  graduating  from  Bucknell  and 
completing  post-graduate  work  at  Har- 
vard, I  returned  to  the  B.  &  O.  where, 
except,  for  ten  months  in  1915  and  1916 
when  I  was  with  the  Interstate  Commerce 
Commission,  I  served  in  various  engineer- 
ing capacities.  In  1930  I  resigned  to  be- 
come general  superintendent  of  the  Le- 
high and  New  England  Railroad  Co.  Ever 
since  that  time  I  have  served  the  L.  & 
N.  E.  as  general  superintendent,  vice 
president  and  general  manager,  executive 
vice  president  and  as  president  from  1947 
to  the  present."  Besides  his  job  activi- 
ties, W'alter  is  a  director  of  the  Campbell

retirement  he  and  Mrs.  Edwards,  the 
former  Hazel  Merryman,  of  Baltimore, 
plan  to  continue  residence  at  826  Tioga 
Ave.,  Bethlehem.  Reporter  Charlie  and 
all  'loers  rejoice  with  you  in  your  coming

Dr.  Rebekah  Gibbons  is  now  residing 
at  769  Antoinette  Ave.,  Winter  Park,  Fla., 
where  she  has  moved  from  her  former 
home  in  North  Carolina.  Report  is  that 
a  warmer  climate  was  the  attraction. 
Thanks  to  Belinda  Potter  for  this  bit  of 
information,  the  first  I  have  been  able  to 
offer  about  Miss  Gibbons. 

Occasionally  one  reads  in  the  public 
press  of  legal  cases  tried  before  Judge 
Edward  P.  Little,  Susquehanna  County, 
not  onl}'  in  his  own  jurisdiction  but  also 
in  other  sections  of  the  state  where  he  is

A  Lewisburg  boy  among  our  number 
"back  in  those  college  days"  was  H. 
Gundy  Pawling.  LTnlike  most  of  the  rest 
of  us  whose  labors  took  us  elsewhere  he 
chose  to  spend  his  life  near  "those  300 
acres  set  apart"  all  Bucknellians  hallow. 
Employed  by  the  Lewisburg  Chair  and 
Furniture  Co.,  he  served  for  many  years 
as  a  foreman  in  the  fitting  department  up 
to  his  retirement  in  1954.  Now  he  remains 
busy  observing  and  participating  in  activi- 
ties on  farms  he  and  Mrs.  Pawling  own  in 
the  Lewisburg  area.  He  works  when  he 
wishes,  he  says,  and  rests  with  abundant 
enthusiasm  also.  Two  sons  and  a  daugh- 
ter, all  married,  and  four  grandchildren 
constitute  Gundy's  family.  Mrs.  Pawling 
was  formerly  Kathryn  Oldt  '12.  It  was  a 
pleasant  half  hour  spent  with  the  Pawlings. 

If  you  have  had  a  change  of  address 
within  the  past  half  year,  please  notify 
me  as  I  hope  to  prepare  an  up-to-date 
roster  sometime  this  summer.

postmaster  in  Northumberland. 

1  sent  a  letter  out  to  y'  all  and  got  two 
lilU-rs  back  pronto.  Now  let's  hope  that 
some  more  of  you  come  across  in  like 
style  for  the  next  issue.  We  liope  to  sec 
you  in  June.  It  is  our  Mary  Ellen's  '42 
15th  anniversary  and  she  is  setting  great 
stoic  at  gcttiiig  back  with  her  class.  .Slie 
has  a  lovely  little  daughter  by  the  iiame

Son,  Eric,  as  we  told  you,  soon  becomes 
a  Ph.D.  from  Purdue  University.  That 
makes  our  Hne-up  of  degrees  in  our  fami- 
ly as  follows:  Ph.B.,  Ph.D.,  A.B.,  M.A.. 
B.D.,  D.D.,  and  Master  of  Nursing,  Yale 
University.  Notice  to  Ray  Speare  Top- 
ham:  We  are  going  to  top  you  in  the 
next  issue,  Ray.  Boy,  ain't  we  braggin', 
tho! 

The  following  letter  was  received  from 
H.  H.  Hann: 

"Thank  you  for  your  recent  letter  re- 
questing news  about  the  members  of  the 
1916  class.  The  one  thing  which  stands 
out  in  my  mind  as  a  freshman  was  the 
friendship  between  you  and  Tilton. 

After  graduating  from  Bucknell  I  en- 
tered the  employ  of  the  New  York,  On- 
tario and  Western  Railway  and  have  been 
with  it  ever  since,  except  the  1J4  years  I 
spent  in  Armed  Forces  during  World 
War  I.  I  have  been  Chief  Engineer  since 
1950. 

Today  is  the  last  day  that  this  Railway 
will  be  operated.  We  have  about  500 
miles  of  main  track.  This  is  probably 
the  largest  railroad  which  has  been  aban- 
doned. 

We  have  two  children.  Barbara  gradu- 
ated from  Bucknell  in  1943.  She  is  living 
at  Rockville  Center  and  is  employed  by 
the  Welfare  Department  of  Nassau  Coun- 
ty. Joseph  started  at  Bucknell,  but  left 
in  his  freshman  year  to  go  in  the  Armed 
Forces.  He  completed  his  course  at  Col- 
gate and  graduated  in  1949.  He  has  tvvo 
children — 6  and  4  years  old.  He  is  in 
the  insurance  business  at  Wurtsboro,  N.  Y. 

I  am  undecided  whether  to  retire  on  a 
pension,  or  whether  to  continue  working 
as  I  have  an  offer  to  go  with  a  short-line 
railroad  up  in  Vermont. 

1  enjoyed  the  reunion  in  1951,  but  was 
unable  to  get  back  for  the  reunion  last 
year.  It  is  nice  to  keep  in  touch  with 
the  various  members  of  the  class  and  it 
is  always  a  pleasure  to  hear  from  them." 

Dot  Bunnell  Schnure  writes  that  she 
and  Fred  have  just  had  a  wonderful  trip. 
.Saw  the  boys  in  Johnstown  and  Pitts- 
burgh and  then  picked  up  Fred's  brother 
and  wife  in  St.  Louis  from  which  spot 
they  took  in  Hot  Springs,  Houston,  San 
.'Vntonio,  Galveston,  points  in  Florida  and 
gosh  knows  where  else.  They  met  Wade 
and  Winifred  Earle  on  the  trip  and  had 
a  good  chat.  Dot  and  Fred  since  his 
retirement  from  Bethlehem  Steel  have 
taken  up  residence  at  Shapnack  Fort, 
VVallpack  Center,  N.  J.  They  talk  like 
real  gentry  now. 

J.  Russell  Snyder  is  retiring  from  the 
teaching  profession  in  June,  1957,  after 
devoting  39  years  to  the  youth  of  Ameri- 
ca. Thirty-one  years  of  the  time  was 
spent  in  Charleroi.

**•  REUNE  IN  JUNE,  1957 


We  have  learned  of  the  death  of  Nor- 
man R.  Hill  which  occurred  on  December 
19,  1956.  Norman  started  his  career  as  a 
Baptist  minister,  then  went  into  engineer- 
ing and  later  into  the  insurance  field  in 
which  he  became  one  of  the  most  suc- 
cessful men  in  America.  He  helped  to 
organize  the  first  Bucknell  Alumni  Club 
of  Seattle  and  served  as  its  first  president. 
He  was  active  in  civic  and  church  circles 
of  the  areas  in  which  he  lived.  He  is 
survived  by  his  widow,  the  former  Irma 
Jo  Richmond  and  five  children  to  whom 
our  sympathy  is   extended. 

S.  Leroy  Seemann  of  Pittsburgh  is 
looking  forward  to  the  40th  reunion  of  his 

20 


class  in  June  and  hopes   to  see   many  of 
his   classmates   then. 

Maude  I.  Witherson  retired  from  teach- 
ing in  1955.  After  leaving  Bucknell  she 
received  the  Bachelor  of  Music  Education 
degree  from  Northwestern  University  and 
Master  of  Music  degree  from  Syracuse 
University  and  attended  two  summer  ses- 
sions of  the  Christiansen  Choral  School. 
She  has  served  as  supervisor  of  music  in 
the  public  schools  of  Pennsylvania  at 
Portage,  California,  and  Duquesne.  She 
taught  public  school  music  methods  at 
West  Liberty  State  Teachers  College  in 
W.  Va.,  and  at  Grove  City  College.  Her 
home  is  at  402  Kennedy  Ave.,  Duquesne. 

This  is  the  last  chance  to  tell  you  about 
our  reunion.  Soon  as  you  can,  send  for 
your  reservation  to  the  Alumni  Office. 
They  try  to  put  the  members  of  each  class 
in  rooms  on  the  same  floors,  so  it's  like 
a  houseparty.  Be  sure  to  come  for  the 
7-8-9  if  at  all  possible.     Act  now! 

Mary  Bubb  Michael  says  she  sent  her 
list  of  activities  to  Pedy  and  can  only  add 
now  that  their  son  was  married  on  Feb- 
ruary 22  to  Patricia  Tuthill,  a  Keuka  Col- 
lege graduate.  She  said  she  enjoyed  read- 
ing about  all  of  us  in  this  column. 

Frances  Hilgert  Higgs  spent  several 
weeks  in  Florida  and  returned  to  teach 
4th  grade  in  West  Conshohocken  for  the 
rest  of  the  term. 

Homer  W.  Teamer  lives  in  Haverford 
and  practices  law  in  Philadelphia.  We 
lost  track  of  him  and  he  of  us  for  a  while, 
but  we  hope  things  will  be  different  from 
now  on. 

Philadelphia  Alumni  Club  had  a  won- 
derful birthday  party  in  February  at  the 
Union  League.  Our  class  was  represent- 
ed by  Dick  Thomas,  Arthur  Yon,  Warner 
Squibb,  and  yours  truly. 

A  delightful  letter  from  Charles  Sipley 
of  Hammonton,  N.  J.,  says  that  he  enjoys 
reading  about  all  his  old  classmates  in 
the  ALUMNUS.  Charlie  says  he  has 
sort  of  lost  contact  recently  with  the  col- 
lege but  he  has  been  influential  in  send- 
ing a  few  boys  and  girls  to  Bucknell.  In 
the  summer  of  1954  he  had  a  visit  from 
Joe  Dent  '20  and  Tommy  Mangan  '21  and 
they  had  a  heap  of  fun  going  through  old 
editions  of  Stars  and  Stripes,  talking  over 
old  times  and  telling  Joe  how  he  and  Tom- 
my played  on  the  championship  basketball 
team  of  Paris  and  also  in  the  AEF  finals. 
In  the  Fall  of  '54  Charlie  had  a  major 
operation  and  was  compelled  to  retire 
from  teaching  after  20  years.  Now  that 
he  is  much  better  he  is  doing  some  sub- 
stituting at  the  high  school  and  has  about 
2  hours  a  day  of  tutoring  in  mathematics. 
His  older  son  graduated  from  Princeton 
and  the  other  one  attended  Penn  State. 
Bucknell  did  not  offer  the  courses  they 
wanted.  I  remember  when  all  four  Sip- 
leys,  Charlotte  '21,  Louis  '18,  Margaret  '20. 
and  Charlie  were  at  Bucknell  at  about  the 
same  time.  Charlie's  hobby  is  writing 
letters  so  why  not  write  to  him?  I  think 
he'll  be  back  in  June. 

Charles  Potter  was  in  Florida  when  he 
received  my  note.  "Come  down  to  the 
land  of  sun,  where,  so  they  say,  the  old 
grow  young  and  the  young  never  grow 
old."  He  says  it  doesn't  work  so  they'll 
be  back  in  Jersey  Shore  in  plenty  of 
time  for  our  reunion.  Mrs.  Potter  was 
pesident  of  Bucknell  Mothers'  Club  '40- 
'41.  Their  two  sons  attended  Bucknell: 
Charles,  M.D.  '41,  Jefferson  '45,  is  prac- 
ticing in  Weatherly;  Myron  (Hap)  '44, 
finished  at  Nebraska  State  Teachers  Col- 
lege in  '49  and  now  operates  a  farm  at 
Cambridge,  Neb.,  and  teaches  science  in 
the  high  school  there. 

Glen  Rogers  taught  school  for  eight 
years  after  graduation  and  then  served  as 


County  Superintendent  of  Schools  of  Cen- 
ter County.  He  retired  in  1946  and  since 
that  time  has  served  as  treasurer  of  Cen- 
ter County.  Glen  spends  the  winter 
months  in  Florida  for  his  health,  but  will 
return  in  time  for  our  reunion. 

Alice  Johnson  Schug  wants  to  urge  all 
of  you  (with  or  without  your  families)  to 
return  for  the  reunion.  She  says  you'll  be 
delighted  to  see  the  growth  and  progress 
of  our  beloved  Alma  Mater.  The  changed 
old  buildings  and  grounds,  the  new  build- 
ings, talking  with  old  friends  and  compar- 
ing experiences,  will  give  us  a  weekend  of 
heart  warming  pleasure.  There  will  be 
pleasant  and  comfortable  accommodations 
on  the  campus  for  all  of  us.  Be  sure  to 
come ! 

I  have  extended  our  sympathy  to  Alice 
on  the  death  of  her  father.  Judge  Albert 
W.  Johnson  '96,  which  occurred  just  at 
the  time  she  sent  me  the  above  letter.  He 
will  be  greatly  missed  by  all  his  friends 
in  Lewisburg  and  at  Bucknell. 

See  you  June  7-8-9.  Come  on  now — 
no  excuses.

Miriam  Minch  (Mrs.  Charles  H.  Hall), 
Cliff  Avenue  Extension,  Byram,  Conn., 
wrote  me  a  note  when  returning  her  re- 
quest for  news  and  I  do  appreciate  hear- 
ing from  you,  Miriam.  She  writes  that 
Byram  is  a  part  of  Greenwich,  but  that 
they  get  their  mail  through  the  Port 
Chester,  N.  Y.,  post  office.  Just  a  trifle 
confusing!  Since  graduation  Miriam  has 
taught  in  the  high  school  at  West  Pitts- 
ton,  Keystone  Academy,  Factoryville,  and 
in  various  schools  on  Long  Island.  Her 
husband  has  been  retired  for  15  years 
and  his  health  not  being  good,  Miriam  has 
been  busy  looking  after  husband  and 
home. 

Mary  Beatty  (Mrs.  Morris  W.  Derr), 
212  E.  39th  St.  Latonia  Station,  Coving- 
ton, Ky.,  lives  the  life  of  a  busy  minister's 
wife — church,  Sunday  School,  auxiliary. 
Altar  Guild,  church  suppers,  bazaars,  etc. 
Her  mother,  Mrs.  Anna  M.  Beatty,  lives 
with  them.  Mrs.  Beatty  was  94  on  Janu- 
ary 10,  1957,  and  is  in  good  health,  Mary 
reports. 

Margaret  Coates  (Mrs.  E.  A.  Hansen), 
lives  at  165  Beechwood  Drive,  Packanack 
Lake,  N.  J.,  and  teaches  at  Montclair, 
N.  J.  Since  graduation  she  has  taught  at 
Point  Pleasant  Beach,  N.  J.:  Flemington, 
N.  J.;  and  has  been  at  Montclair  since 
1926.  She  has  taken  additional  work  at 
Columbia,  Cornell,  Rochester  and  Mont- 
clair Teachers  College,  and  expects  to  re- 
tire in  1958,  following  which  they  expect 
to  live  in  Florida. 

MAY    1957 


Really  have  lots  of  news  this  time  and 
I  surely  do  appreciate  the  letters  that  have 
come  my  way. 

I  mentioned  early  in  the  year  that  my 
brother,  George,  was  spending  several 
months  on  Staten  Island  and  as  a  result 
both  of  us  have  had  letters  from  Charles 
Sipley  '17,  brother  of  Lou  'IS.  He  told 
me  that  their  sister.  Charlotte  '21,  had 
passed  away.  He,  Charles,  is  retired 
from  teaching  due  to  ill  health,  but  he 
does  substitute  at  times.  Thanks  for  the 
nice  letter,  Charlie.  George  also  writes 
that  he  has  been  taking  an  eight  weeks 
U.  S.  Power  Squadron  Engine  Course 
and  recently  was  talking  to  another  stu- 
dent and  Pennsylvania  was  mentioned. 
The  man  said  he  knew  a  little  about  the 
state  as  he  had  gone  to  Bucknell,  gradu- 
ating in  1918.  It  was  John  Bennett  from 
Monmouth,  N.  J. — he  wrote  us  last  year 
alter  he  had  retired  from  teaching  and 
told  us  at  that  time  of  his  love  of  boats. 
t  can  just  imagine  that  the  two  had  quite 
an  evening. 

Having  no  modesty  where  mj'  family  is 
concerned  I  must  report  that  daughter 
Mary  Elizabeth  King  (Cornell  ',^1)  is  go- 
ing to  Peru  on  June  1  to  spend  three 
months  doing  research  in  textiles.  She 
has  received  a  grant  from  the  American 
Philosophical  Society.  I  am  sure  her 
mother  is  more  excited  than  she  is. 

Once  again,  please  write  to  me  and  re- 
member, too,  that  we  have  a  Reunion  com- 
ing up  in  1958,  our  FORTIETH.  Let's 
make  it  a  really  big  one!

Matthews)    ha-t    been    elected    secretary- 


Death  struck  again  when  our  class  lost 
one  of  its  most  faithful  members  through 
the  unexpected  death  of  Arthur  F.  Gardner 
at  his  home  in  Winter  Park.  Fla.  Art  was 
spending  his  first  winter  in  Florida  and 
still  maintained  his  home  near  Mifflinburg. 

As  a  student,  Art  was  a  member  of  Sig- 
ma Alpha  Epsilon  fraternity,  the  Glee 
Club,  the  L'Agenda  board  and  played  class 
football  in  his  sophomore  year.  Following 
graduation  he  worked  for  a  time  as  an 
assistant  engineer  with  the  Pennsylvania 
Railroad.  Ill  health  prompted  him  to  move 
to  Arizona  in  1927  and  upon  his  recovery 
he  remained  there  for  some  years  as  a 
citrus  fruit  grower.  LTpon  his  return  to 
Pennsylvania,  he  became  an  agricultural- 
ist and  operated  a  farm  near  Mifflinburg. 

He  was  a  Mason,  a  member  of  the 
Moose,  Kiwanis  Club  and  American  Le- 
gion. In  University  alumni  affairs.  Art 
was  a  stalwart  worker.  He  was  imme- 
diate past  president  of  the  Bucknell  Alum- 
ni Club  of  Union  County  and  for  the  past 
few  years  had  served  as  host  at  the  Bison

football  game  on  the  campus.  He  is  sur- 
vived b}-  his  wife,  the  former  Anna  M. 
Keefer,  and  a  stepson,  Bernhard  Dohr- 
mann,  Esq.  '50  of  Lock  Haven. 

Art  will  be  sadly  missed  at  our  June 
reunion  for  he  had  written  in  recent  weeks 
of  his  plans  to  return  to  the  North  in  time 
for  the  reunion  activities  and  was  serving 
on  the  planning  committee  for  the  Class 
of  W22  gathering. 

Bright  E.  Greiner  stopped  in  at  the 
alumni  office  for  a  short  time  in  early 
March.  He  was  in  Washington,  D.  C, 
for  the  meetings  of  the  National  Associa- 
tion of  Secondary  School  Principals  where 
he  served  as  chairman  of  a  discussion 
group  on  that  red-hot  topic,  "The  Advan-

You  can  depend  upon  a  warm  and  friendly 
welcome  from  your  class  officers  who  are

tending previously.

He  is  survived  by  his  widow,  the  former 
Essie  F,  Applegate  and  son,  Ralph,  to 
whom  our  sincere  sympathy  is  extended. 

Your  reporter  had  an  interesting  letter 
from  Margaret  Schuyler  Augustine  begin- 
ning: "Heeding  your  plaintive  request  for 
the  news  of  the  Class  of  1930  I  submit  the 
following — The  Augustines  are  residing 
at  714  N.  Curry  St.,  Carson  City,  Nev. 
They  boast  two  sons:  Daniel,  14,  a  Life 
Scout  and  a  tuba  player;  and  Peter,  12, 
a  Star  Scout  and  a  trombone  player." 
There  are  five  Bucknellians  in  Nevada  so 
if  any  of  them  visit  the  capital  city  Mar- 
garet would  be  most  happy  to  see  them. 

From  Nevada  we  go  to  California  and 
a  nice  note  from  Pat  Reeves  Kennedy. 
Pat  has  remarried  and  is  living  at  2728 
Ross  Lane,  Escondido,  Calif.  She  has  a 
beautiful  new  home  with  lots  of  avocado 
trees  and  claims  California  living  is  pleas- 
ant. Pat's  daughter  Priscilla  was  married 
last  summer.  Pat  had  a  nice  visit  with 
Peg  Baker  Moser  last  spring  and  states, 
"the  years  do  not  touch  her,"  from  the 
photograph  I  received  from  Mrs.  Kennedy 
on  her  wedding  day  the  years  do  not 
touch  her  either. 

From  California  let's  go  to  Texas  where 
our  classmate  Jim  Hurlburt  was  appointed 
district  manager  of  the  Construction  Ma- 
terial Division  Office  in  Houston,  Tex. 
(This  district  includes  all  of  Tex.,  Okla,, 
La.,  and  parts  of  N.  Mex.,  Ala.,  and  Miss.). 
Until  they  sell  their  home  in  Washington, 
D.  C,  and  Jim's  family  are  able  to  join 
him,  his  address  will  be:  Construction  Ma- 
terial Division,  General  Electric  Co.,  5718 
Armour  Dr.,  Houston,  Tex. 

Now  we  have  heard  from  the  west.  Isn't 
there  an  eastern  part  of  this  United  States?

heavier  than  when  he  was  graduated,  and 
his  hair  has  reached  the  point  where  he 
puts  "gray"  where  the  driver's  license  asks 
for  the  color.  So  what,  Phil?  Age  is  a

the  only  '36er  to  answer  my  plea  for  news

last  column.  Charles  has  come  up  with 
an  excellent  idea.  He  writes,  "I  happened 
to  think  it  might  make  our  '36  alumni 
magazine  column  easier  for  you  and  more 
interesting  to  our  class,  if  we  had  area  re- 
porters. XVe  run  into  and  hear  about  our 
classmates  in  different  areas,  so  I  send 
in  a  few  'choice  bits'  about  a  few  '36ers  in 
this  area.  I  was  glad  to  see  June  Le- 
Quatte  Wendt  again  at  the  metropolitan 
area  Bucknell  birthday  dinner  in  New 
York  on  Feb.  5.  June  was  a  very  busy  girl 
that  night,  so  we  did  not  have  too  much 
opportunity  to  have  a  '36  reunion.  Bill 
Moir  was  there,  so  he  and  I  had  dinner 
together.  Bill  bringing  me  up  to  date  on 
several  Phi  Psi's  of  our  class,  namely  Bud 
Huus  and  Fred  Erdman.  Bill  is  bringing 
all  the  22  Phi  Psi  pledges  they  won  in 
September,  1932,  to  our  reunion  in  '61.

have  daughters  in  the  freshman  class  at

Thank  you,  Charles,  for  your  fine  sug- 
gestion and  your  fine  report.  I  hope  many 
of  you  will  follow  Charles'  example.  Do 
I  hear  any  volunteers?  I  saw  Honey

our  camp  an  interview  .  .  .  the  land  we 
cleared  is  part  of  a  60  acre  development 
.  .  .  the  inspiration  of  those  days  led  mc 
to  compile  a  film  with  narrative.  It  has 
been  accepted  by  our  Congregational 
Christian  denomination  for  widespread 
sho^ving  and  is  entitled  'Working  camp- 
ing in  Puerto  Rico.'  Just  learned  that  I

Have  you  ever  picked  daffodils  during 
a  snowstorm?  I  did  this  morning,  and 
even  now  it's  diflicult  to  concentrate  on 
anything  bnl  the  view  from  the  window. 
Hut  how  glad  I  am  to  be  enjoying  a  freak 
April  snowstorm  in  Basking  Ridge  rather 
than  the  vicious  vagaries  of  a  tornado  in 
Dallas.  With  concern  !ov  our  tnany 
friends  there,  I  nevertheless  am  rennndeil 
of  a  typically  Texan  remark  lUirr  and  I 
often  heard,  "If  you  don't  like  the  weather, 
just  wail  a  minute."  Without  waiting  an- 
ollier  moment,  however,  and  with  back  to 
window,    I   proceed  to   class  news, 

A  line  letter  from  Nancy  Ireland  Sholl 
ii-|iorts  a  miniber  of  changes  in  the  Calvin 
Sholl   '40  family.     I''irst  of  all   there  is  an 

2.S 


address  change  to  Lancaster  Avenue,  Box 
34.  Lunenburg,  Mass.,  because  last  July 
Cal  became  assistant  personnel  director 
for  the  Fitchburg  Paper  Company.  The 
family  joined  him  in  October  regretfully 
leaving  behind  the  brand  new  home  they 
had  just  built  in  Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  to  say 
nothing  of  their  many  friends  there.  Nancy 
says  they  have  chosen  a  200  year  old  red 
and  white  colonial  home  in  Lunenburg 
with  what  she  describes  as  "old  bones  and 
much  charm."  And  then  on  December 
12th  the  ShoUs  welcomed  Christine  Beth, 
who  joins  Larry,  9;  Jack,  7;  and  Wendy,  4. 
Pretty  busy  year,  don't  you  think? 

Speaking  of  changes,  Chet  Podd  '43, 
formerly  with  Merck  in  Rahway,  has 
joined  the  staff  of  the  treasurer  of  the

New  York.  Chet  and  his  wife,  Louise 
Stead,  daughter  Pat,  and  sons  Steve  and 
Chet  live  at  920  Boulevard,  Westfield, 
N.  J.  Success  in  the  new  job,  Chet,  and 
the  rest  of  you  please  remember  that  the 
word  from  Podd  is  Franklin,  Domino,  or 
Simnycane.

Look  at  the  calendar.  Within  a  very 
few  days,  the  first  10  years  A.B.  (after

finis  for  that  merrie  band  that  embarked

or  take  some  weeks,  depending  upon 
whether  you  left  in  February,  June  or 
August.     Such  were  the  times  then.

plans  for  a  completely  good  time.  You

ticket  and  room  needs  at  Bucknell.  Your 
spouse  should  surely  come  along — both 
of  you  will  have  much  to  see,  many  to 
meet.  (Reservation  blank  is  also  included

The  main  reunion  event  will  take  place 
Saturday,  June  8.  You  should  have  the 
details  via  the  mails. 

As  we  go  to  press,  it  appears  that  the 
1947  Reunion  Book  ("Decade  of  De-some- 
thing" or  other)  will  probably  be  the  most 
complete  of  its  kind  yet  published  for  a 
10-year  reunion.  The  response  has  been 
hearty.  The  staff  of  reporters  have  done 
a  remarkable  job.  For  those  few  mem- 
bers not  able  to  return  June  7-9,  copies  of 
the  book  will  be  available  after  the  reunion. 

Your  friends  will  look  for  you  at  the  re- 
union. Come,  join  our  throng  as  once  more 
the  windy  hilltop  resounds  to  "Beat  Al- 
fred!"

Well,  perhaps,  if  you  want  to  be  strictly  literal. 

And  yet,  when  she  reaches  college  age  will  she  be  too 

late.^  Too  late  to  get  the  kind  of  higher  education 

so  vital  to  her  future  and  to  the  future  of  her  country? 

It  all  depends. 

There  is  in  the  United  States  today  a  growing  threat  to 
the  ability  of  our  colleges  to  produce  thinking,  well- 
informed  graduates.  That  threat  is  composed  of  several 
elements:  an  inadequate  salary  scale  that  is 
steadily  reducing  the  number  of  qualified  people  who 
choose  college  teaching  as  a  career;  classrooms  and 
laboratories  already  overcrowded;  and  a  pressure  for 
enrollment  that  will  double  by  1967. 

The  effects  of  these  shortcomings  can  become  extremely 
serious.  Never  in  our  histoi'y  has  the  need  for  educated 
leadership  been  so  acute.  The  problems  of  business, 
government  and  science  grow  relentlessly  more  complex, 
the  body  of  knowledge  more  mountainous. 
The  capacity  of  our  colleges— all  colleges— 
to  meet  these  challenges  is  essential  not  only 
to  the  cultural  development  of  our  children  but 
to  the  intellectual  stature  of  our  nation. 

In  a  very  real  sense,  our  personal  and  national  progress 

depends  on  our  colleges.  They  must  have  more  support 

in  keeping  pace  with  their  increasing  imjtorlance  to  society. 

Help  the  colleges  or  universities  of  your  choice.  Help  them 
plan  for  .stronger  faculties  and  expansion.  The  returns 
will  be  greater  than  you  think.

Q 


REETINGS  to  the  Alumni: 


Recently,  I've  had  the  pleasure  of  returning  to  the  campus  for  an  informal  visit 
-a  casual  chat  with  old  friends— Bucknellians-in  most  familiar  surroundings. 

Reminiscino  about  experiences  and  old  friends  is  always  very  pleasant.  However, 
as  I  walked  about  the  campus,  my  thoughts  were  beginning  to  become  more  visionary 
— dreamina,  if  you  like,  about  the  future  students— your  sons,  daughters,  friends— and 
their  probable  hopes  as  Bucknellians.  Unfortunately,  because  of  the  limited  numbers 
of  youno  people  who  may  be  accommodated  in  the  future,  many  good  applicants  will 
be  denied  admission.  As  alumni,  we  have  a  tremendous  responsibility  (1)  to  assist 
in  the  selection  of  the  most  outstanding  students;  (2)  in  supporting  Alma  Mater  by 
financial  contributions.  Many  of  you  have  been  most  generous  in  the  past  and  for 
these  aifts  we  are  indeed  grateful.  However,  if  Bucknell,  like  her  sister  institutions, 
is  expected  to  maintain,  yes  even  raise  her  standard  of  service,  then  she  will  need 
assistance  from  many  more  of  her  alumni.  The  need  for  annual  support  is  great,  and 
I  sincerely  hope  that  during  these  next  few  months  when  "Buck"  and  Dr.  "Nick" 
with  all  of  the  volunteer  fund  agents  make  their  appeal  you  will  all  respond  most 
generously.    There  isn't  a  better  cause. 

And  now  to  change  the  subject.  Won't  vou  begin  now  to  make  plans  for  a  \isit 
to  the  campus  at  Alumni  Reunion  and  Commencement  time,  June  7-10,  1957?  I'm 
sure  you'll  see  many  old  friends,  and  vou  will  certainly  enjoy  roaming  about  in  the

IF  you  are  not  on  the  alert  you  may  be 
missing  a  new  quarterly  publication  of 
Bucknell  University.  This  four-page  print- 
ed letter  produced  under  the  supervision 
of  Miss  Trennie  E.  Eisley  '31,  director  of 
public  relations,  carries  important  Univer- 
sity news  that  occurs  in  between  issues  of 
THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS.  A  fea- 
ture of  the  publication  is  a  column  from 
the  desk  of  President  Odgers.  You  can't 
know  all  the  news  unless  you  read 
"ABOUT  BUCICNELL"  as  well  as  THE 
BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS.  The  last  is- 
sue published  in  July  1957  also  featured 
the  Olin  Foundation  Grant  for  Coleman 
Hall,  a  new  classroom  building  that  will 
house  eight  departments  of  instruction  and 
the  long-hoped-for  Little  Theatre.  This 
newest  publication  of  the  University  is  sent 
to  all  alumni,  parents,  foundations,  cor- 
porations, secondary  schools,  and  other 
friends  of  the  University.  The  next  issue 
is  scheduled  for  October  mailing.  News 
items  featured  in  "ABOUT  BUCKNELL" 
will  not  be  featured  in  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALUMNUS. 


MAYBE  we  need  a  P.  T.  A.  organiza- 
tion at  the  college  level?  Dr.  Carl 
Seifert,  Deputy  Superintendent  of  Higher 
Education  for  the  Department  of  Public 
Instruction  of  the  Commonwealth  of 
Pennsylvania,  puts  it  this  way.  "If  we 
don't  do  something  about  the  problem  of 
post-secondary  education,  thousands  of 
Pennsylvania  youth  who  have  the  qualifi- 
tions  for  college  will  be  denied  their  full 
educational  opportunity." 

Dr.  Charles  M.  Long,  Chairman  of  the 
Governor's  Commission  on  Public  Educa- 
tion (Pennsylvania),  reporting  for  the 
commission,  says,  "We  recommend  that  a 
state-wide  plan  be  prepared  for  the  loca- 
tion, standards,  and  financing  of  beyond- 
high-school  programs  of  public  educa- 
tion, and  that  legislation  be  introduced  to 
implement  the  establishment  and  main- 
tenance of  these  programs." 


IN  an  effort  to  learn  the  opinion  of  its 
employees  on  their  college  training. 
General  Electric  has  made  a  survey  of  the 
opinions  of  13,586  college  graduates  em- 
ployed by  the  company. 

This  study  is  the  culmination  of  a  long- 
time interest  on  the  part  of  many  com- 
ponents and  individuals  in  the  General 
Electric  Company  in  those  features  of  a 
college  education  which  lead  into  the  de- 
velopment of  managerial  and  professional 
skills  and  responsibility,  and  to  subse- 
quent personal  satisfactions  of  a  related 
nature.  In  brief,  it  was  a  careful  attempt 
to  have  college  graduates  in  the  General 
Electric  work  force  evaluate  their  higher 
education. 

Four  subject  areas  in  the  college  cur- 
riculum were  considered  by  the  graduates 
to  be  extremely  valuable.  English  com- 
munication— both  written  and  oral — was 
reported  high  on  the  list.  Non-engineer- 
ing respondents  placed  this  subject  area 
first,  while  engineers  rated  it  second  only 
to  mathematics,  which  is  also  a  communi- 
cation tool.  Other  subject  areas  report- 
ed as  important  for  career  success  by  both 

2 


SPOT 


groups  of  respondents  included  physics, 
economics,  and  mathematics. 

The  least  valuable  subject  areas,  judged 
from  a  career  standpoint  alone,  were  felt 
to  be  history,  foreign  language,  miscel- 
laneous sciences  (biology,  botany,  geolo- 
gy, etc.)  and  certain  social  sciences  (prin- 
cipally government  and  economics).  It 
should  be  borne  in  mind  that  these  subject 
areas  were  reported  as  least  valuable  from 
the  career  standpoint  only,  there  being  no 
indication  of  their  over-all  value  to  the 
educated  man. 

Engineers  indicated  that  they  partici- 
pated quite  heavily  in  extra-curricular  ac- 
tivities, even  more  so  than  the  liberal  arts 
graduates.  The  figures  were  93.05  and 
88.01  per  cent  respectively. 

Approximately  90  per  cent  of  the  re- 
spondents earned  some  portion  of  their 
collegiate  expenses;  over  two-thirds  of 
these  earned  at  least  half.  Just  over  a 
quarter  signified  that  they  received  schol- 
arship aid. 

The  general  satisfaction  of  most  alumni 
with  their  alma  maters  is  dramatically  in- 
dicated by  the  results  of  this  study.  Three- 
quarters  of  the  liberal-arts  graduates 
would  choose  the  same  college  if  they  had 
the  opportunity  of  college  choice  again. 
Engineers  were  even  more  satisfied,  with 
almost  85  per  cent  indicating  the  same 
choice  would  be  made  again. 


A  COLLEGE  diploma  is  worth  more 
than  $100,000  (over  a  life's  work  span) 
to  the  average  college  grad  as  compared 
with  what  the  average  high  school  grad 
will  earn. 

Steve  Lawrence  knows  a  guy  who's  so 
educated  he  can  fill  out  his  unemployment 
form  in  Latin. 


TWO  Bucknellians  are  pictured  in  the  July 
20  issue  of  Business  Week.  They  are  T. 
Cortland  Williams  '20  (p.  159)  and  Mer- 
ril  B.  DeWire,  M.D.  '21  (pp.  172,  176). 
And  both  are  active  alumni  workers,  Cort 
received  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Award  and 
Medallion  and  Citation  in  June  1957;  Mer- 
rill is  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Directors 
of  the  General  Alumni  Association. 


THE  appeal  for  gifts  to  the  alumni  fund 
at   Brown  University   must  be   strong 
for  they  induced  a  Brown  alumnus  to  send 
the  following  lines  along  with  his  check: 
My  car  is  falling:  to  pieces 
Tlie  clothes  that  I  wear  are  not  new. 
I  don't  keep  money  in  banl<s  any  more — 
The  dollars  I  liave  are  so  few. 
But  you're  welcome  to  this  that  I'm  sending: 
May  it  be  of  some  help  to  you. 
It  isn't,  it's  true,  quite  all  that  I  have, 
But  it's  darned  near  the  residue. 


A  LTHOUGH  this  issue  carries  14V2  pages 
-^^  of  class  news — a  new  record — another 
10  pages  of  class  news,  faculty  and  Uni- 
versity announcements,  book  reviews  and 
alumni  achievement  had  to  be  carried  over 
to  our  November  issue.     Please  be  patient.

HOMECOMING 


CIRCLE  THIS  DATE 

ON  YOUR  CALENDAR,  TODAY ! 

But  Plan  on  3  great  days 

Make  Arrangements  NOW. 


The  Homecoming  football  piece  de  resis- 
tance will  pit  the  BU's  of  Boston  University 
against  the  BU's  of  Bucknell  University. 
If  that  sounds  scrambled,  the  situation  is 
probably  normal.  For  in  this  fourth  meet- 
ing with  Boston  University,  it  is  quite 
likely  that  the  "scramble"  of  the  1954 
clash  in  Boston  may  be  repeated.  Cer- 
tainly boosters  on  both  sides  are  hoping 
there  will  be  no  repeat  of  the  Boston 
weather  of  October  30,  1954,  when  the  old 
Braves  Field  was  a  sea  of  mud  as  the 
result  of  a  24-hour  downpour.  Spectators 
were  glad  for  the  covered  stands  of  the  old 
Braves  Field  in  Cambridge  until  they  dis- 
covered that  the  leaky  roof  simply  col- 
lected the  raindrops  and  delivered  them  in 
running  streams  on  the  spectators  stated 
under  cover.  And  out  on  the  un-recon- 
structed  baseball  field,  tackier  and  tackled 
"slud"  ten  to  fifteen  yards  in  the  grease- 
like  mud  on  each  play.  In  spite  of  the 
tough  going.  Bob  "Thundcrbird"  Ford 
managed  97  net  yards  of  rushing.  Fum- 
bles were  a  dime  a  dozen  and  Bucknell 
managed  to  lose  the  ball  on  five  of  its  six 
fumblei.  Bucknell  entered  the  fourth 
quarter  on  the  long  end  of  a  7-6  score  but 
then  fumblitis  set  in  anrl  at  the  final  whis- 
tle Boston  I',  led  20  to  7.  adding  one  more 
to  a  five  game  winning  streak  while  I'urk 
ncll  ended  a  five  game  winning  streak. 

When   the    teams   meet   on    October    19 
for  the   Homecoming  game  at   Memorial 

.SKI'TKMBEK     I  9  SI 


Stadium  in  Lewisburg,  you  can  be  sure 
that  the  Bisons  of  Bucknell  will  be  ready 
to  wipe  out  the  memory  of  the  1954  loss, 
while  the  Terriers  of  Boston  U.  will  be 
just  as  anxious  for  victory  to  even  up  the 
series  at  two  wins  for  each  team.  Buck- 
nell won  both  times  in  the  opening  of  the 
series,  6-0  in  1941  and   13-7  in  1942. 


Boston  U.  will  bring  to  Lewisburg  a 
new  head  coach.  Steve  Sinko,  elevated  to 
the  top  coaching  spot  when  Buff  Donelli 
moved  on  to  Columbia. 

Features  Galore 

But  the  football  game  is  just  one  of  the 
features  that  makes  Homecoming  one  of 
Bucknell's  three  big  celebration  days  (the 
other  two  are  Alumni-Commencement 
Week-end  in  June  and  Bucknell's  birthday 
in  February).  The  highlights  of  the  pro- 
gram are  shown  on  the  back  cover.  They 
all  add  up  to  a  wonderful  week-end  of 
reunion  and  reminiscence.  Cut  yourself  in 
on  the  whole  program  by  sending  your 
ticket  reservation  forms  shown  on  this 
page  and  on  page  10  now.  This  will  be 
your  last  reminder,  so  DON'T  DELAY— 
DO  IT  NOW! 


Even  though  your  plans  may  be  tentative,  please  mail  this  reservation  TODAY  and 
guarantee  yourself  a  share  in  the  program  and  also  assist  us  in  planning  your  accommoda-

ALUMNI 


ALUMNI  weekend  this  year  was  al- 
most a  "washout."  Almost  but  not 
quite — and  the  difference  spelled  suc- 
cess. The  bugaboo,  as  all  Bucknellians 
may  guess  was  the  weather.  Yes,  it 
rained! 

Although  the  weather  threatened,  ap- 
proximately 80  hearty  souls  arrived  at  the 
Bison  Breakfast  Saturday  morning  to  be- 
gin a  day  filled  with  the  renewal  of  old 
friendships,   entertainment,   and   surprises. 

Alumni   Business 

Following  a  hearty  breakfast  of  ham  and 
eggs,  88  delegates  from  27  alumni  clubs 
gathered  for  the  Annual  Assembly  in  the 
Olin  Science  Auditorium  to  elect  five 
members  to  the  Board  of  Directors  of  The 
General  Alumni  Association  to  fill  the  ex- 
piring terms  of  five  members.  Elected 
were  Wilmer  D.  Greulich  '34,  Dr.  Charles 
F.  Fox,  Jr.  '31,  Mrs.  Clyde  P.  Bailey 
(Dorothy  Lemon  '29),  Mrs.  Charles  E. 
Copeland  (Amorita  Sesinger  '22),  and 
Donald  A.  Glover  '41.  Elected  also  to 
the  Board  as  an  honorary  member  post- 
humously was  John  F.  Worth  '37.  John, 
who  had  been  a  nominee,  died  May  15, 
1957.  Announcement  of  the  election  of 
Miss  Thelma  J.  Showalter  '25  as  Alumni 
Trustee  for  five  years  was  made  by  Presi- 
dent Greulich. 

LTpon  adjournment,  the  Board  of  Direc- 
tors met  for  a  brief  session  at  which  time 
all  present  officers  of  The  General  Alumni 
Association  were  re-elected.  Know  your 
leaders — see  page  26. 

Appointed  were  Mrs.  Charles  E.  Cope- 
land  (Amorita  Sesinger  '22),  J.  Norman 
Davies,  Esq.  '26,  and  Robert  W.  Dill  '27 
to  serve  on  the  Committee  on  Nomination 
for  Alumni  Trustee  along  with  holdover 
members  Dr.  William  P.  Bogar  '34,  Dr. 
Lester  E.  Lighton  '20,  Mrs.  Paul  M.  Sho- 


walter (S.  Katharine  Graham  '33),  Merrill 
B.  DeWire,  M.D.  '21,  Mrs.  Paul  L.  Miller 
(Helen  Bodine  '20),  and  William  J.  Irvin 
'22.  Mrs.  Miller  was  asked  to  serve  as 
chairman  of  the  Committee 

Appointed  to  the  Alumni  Awards  Com- 
mittee were  T.  Cortland  Williams,  Jr.  '20, 
Rev.  Anthony  F.  Vasquez  '37,  Harry  O. 
Dayhofl:'  '23,  and  Dr.  George  E.  Irland  '15. 
Holdover  members  include  James  A.  Ty- 
son '11,  W.  Dale  Hay  '49,  E.  W.  Pang- 
burn,  M.D.  'IS,  Arthur  R.  Yon  '17,  and 
Mrs.  Erie  M.  Topham  (C.  Ray  Speare 
'17).  Mr.  Yon  was  asked  to  serve  as 
chairman. 

C.  Martin  Neff  was  appointed  to  serve 
for  one  year  froin  October  1,  1957,  as  the 
representative  of  The  General  Alumni  As- 
sociation on  the  Athletic  Advisory  Com- 
mittee. 

Class   Business 

Although  classes  returned  to  the  camp- 
us primarily  to  reune  and  reminisce,  a 
surprising  amount  of  class  business  affairs 
were  settled  at  the  Saturday  morning 
meetings  of  the  various  groups.  Officers 
were  elected  or  re-elected  and  plans  were 
made  for  a  continuing  active  class  organi- 
zation. Alumni  visitors  again  demon- 
strated that  they  prefer  the  dormitory 
housing  arranged  for  them  on  campus. 
Admittedly,  not  the  equal  of  the  Wal- 
dorf-Astoria in  comfort,  the  dormitories 
make  up  for  this  slight  lack  in  convenience 
and  the  opportunity  for  reunion  families 
to  spend  the  weekend  together. 

Once  again  the  reunion  book  which  fea- 
tures a  statistical  report  of  each  reunion 
class,  biographical  sketches  of  the  mem- 
bers and  an  up-to-date  name  and  address 
roster,  proved  most  popular  with  every 
reunion  class  publishing  a  book.  Perhaps 
the  most  unique  approach  was  that  used 


by  the  Class  of  1917.  These  energetic 
40th  reunion  folks  recorded  their  biog- 
raphies on  tape  and  thus  permitted  the 
reunioners  to  hear  the  voices  of  all  of  the 
members  of  the  class  whether  or  not  they 
were  in  attendance  at  the  reunion. 

More  and  more,  reunion  classes  are 
making  the  five-year  reunion  an  occasion 
for  emphasizing  alumni  annual  giving  and 
this  year,  new  highs  in  annual  gifts  were 
recorded  by  the  Classes  of  1902,  1912, 
1917  1922,  1927,  1932,  1942,  1947,  1952, 
and  1956. 

Attendance  records  were  broken  by  the 
Classes  of  1917,  1922,  1942,  and  1952.  All 
of  the  class  reunion  chairmen  and  their 
working  committees  performed  an  excel- 
lent job  of  planning  the  reunion,  but  the 
"take-charge"  guy  in  the  Class  of  1952. 
Augie  St.  John,  deserves  a  special  accolade 
for  his  work  in  organizing  his  working 
staff. 

Second   Century   Progress 

By  all  odds,  the  biggest  thrill  of  the 
weekend  occurred  when  Dr.  Charles  L. 
Horn,  President  of  the  F.  W.  Olin  Foun- 
dation announced  a  grant  of  $1,475,000 
from  the  Foundation  for  the  construction 
of  a  classroom  building  to  be  named  Cole- 
man Hall  in  tribute  to  Dr.  William  H. 
Coleman,  Vice  President  of  the  University 
and  Secretary  of  the  Bucknell  Study.  The 
complete  story  of  this  magnificent  gift 
was  reported  in  "About  Bucknell,"  the 
new  quarterly  publication  of  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity, which  was  mailed  to  all  alumni 
in  July  and  will,  therefore,  not  be  repeated 
here.  Following  Dr.  Horn's  announce- 
ment of  the  grant,  largest  in  Bucknell's 
111-year  history.  President  Merle  M.  Od- 
gers  predicted  that  the  Olin  gift  will  set 
off  a  chain  reaction.

structure  will  be  self  evident."  He  con- 
tinued. "But  I  cannot  emphasize  too 
strongh-  that  the  establishment  of  this 
new  quadrangle  would  not  limit  its  effects 
to  better  classroom  laboratorj-.  office  facil- 
ities, important  as  all  of  these  are,  for  its 
implications  are  even  wider,  if  we  have 
the  courage  and  initiative  to  push  ahead," 
Thus  the  way  has  been  charted  to  make 
two  more  giant  steps  in  Bucknell's  Second 
Century  Development. 

Other  highlights  of  the  All-Alumni 
Luncheon  were  the  attendance  of  Dr.  Wil- 
liam \'an  Hayes.  Class  of  1888,  Honor- 
ary 1940,  who  was  on  campus  to  celebrate 
his  69th  graduation  anniversary  along  with 
his  sister.  Mrs.  James  Douglas  Nisbet 
(Emma  Hayes  195)  and  other  members  of 
his  family;  and  the  announcement  of  the 
establishment  of  the  Class  of  1907  Schol- 
arship Fund,  made  possible  by  the  con- 
tributions of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  John  W. 
Speicher   (Mary   Stanton  '07). 

Alumni   Honored 

Three  outstanding  alumni  were  given 
special  awards  at  the  luncheon.  Harry  O. 
Dayhoflf  of  the  Class  of  1923  was  a  re- 
cipient of  the  Bucknell  Chair  and  Certifi- 
cate in  Recognition  of  Outstanding  Ser- 
vice, Unselfish  Interest,  and  Demonstrated 
Loyalty  to  the  University  and  to  The  Gen- 
eral Alumni  Association.  Mr.  Dayhoff. 
Secretary  of  the  Harrisburg  School  Board, 
has  had  an  outstanding  career  in  athletics 
having  served  for  many  years  as  a  referee 
on  the  intercollegiate  circuit.  Following  an 
outstanding  contribution  as  a  player  and 
coach  in  college  and  professional  sports, 
he  has  served  youth  over  a  long  period  of 
years  as  director  of  parks  and  public  prop- 
erty in  Harrisburg. 

For  Meritorious  Achievement  in  One's 


Chosen  Profession,  T.  Cortland  Williams, 
Sr.,  Class  of  1920,  was  awarded  the  Alum- 
ni Medallion  and  Certificate.  Mr.  Wil- 
liams has  spent  most  of  his  career  with 
Stone  &  Webster  Engineering  Corpora- 
tion, a  company  he  now  serves  as  presi- 
dent. During  World  War  II,  he  served 
as  project  manager  in  charge  of  construc- 
tion at  the  top-secret  government  A-bomb 
plant  at  Oakridge,  Tenn.  The  Rev.  Anthony 
F.  Vasquez,  Class  of  1937,  was  honored  for 
his  Contributions  and  Service  to  Fellowman 
by  the  award  of  the  Alumni  Medallion  and 
Certificate.  In  continuous  service  in  the 
Baptist  Church  since  graduation,  Rev.  Vas- 
quez in  1956  was  instrumental  in  establishing 
a  Prayer  Center  for  all  People  at  St.  John's 
Baptist  Church  in  Philadelphia,  The  Center 
displays  the  flags  of  over  SO  nations  and 
almost  80  countries  have  sent  to  the  Center 
letters  of  good  will  or  prayer  to  be  placed 
there. 

Following  the  luncheon  many  alumni 
and  their  families  enjoyed  a  swim  in  the 
new  Freas-Rooke  swimming  pool,  while 
class  reunioners  gathered  again  for  social 
parties  on  and  off  the  campus.  After  fra- 
ternity and  sorority  symposiums,  nearly 
1000  alumni  enjoyed  the  fellowship,  en- 
tertainment, refreshments  and  dancing  at 
the  Alumni  Jamboree  in  the  Davis  Gym. 

374   Degrees   Granted 

At  the  Commencement  exercises  on 
Monday  morning.  President  Odgers  con- 
ferred bachelor's  degrees  on  343  seniors 
and  master's  degrees  on  25  graduate  stu- 
dents before  presenting  honorary  doctor- 
ates to  seven  honorary  degree  recipients. 
Highest  honors  in  the  class  went  to  Carolyn 
U.  Woodcock  of  Haddunficld,  N.  J.,  who 
was  graduated  with  the  distinction  of  magna 
cum  laude. 

A  highlight  of  the  Comnicncenicnt  program 


was  the  commissioning  of  87  men  in  the 
graduating  class  as  second  lieutenants  in 
the  Army  Reserve. 

Gwilym  A.  Price,  Chairman  and  Presi- 
dent of  the  Westinghouse  Electric  Cor- 
poration, speaking  at  the  Commencement 
exercises,  urged  America's  privately  sup- 
ported colleges  and  universities  to  expand 
enrollments  to  meet  the  anticipated  tidal 
wave  of  students. 

"I  not  only  think  the  independent  col- 
leges should  do  this;  I  think  they  will  have 
to  do  it  if  they  are  to  retain  their  educa- 
tional birthright,"  he  declared. 

The  Rev,  Raymond  H.  Edwards  '26 
pastor  of  the  First  Baptist  Church  of  Os- 
sining,  N.  Y.,  preached  the  baccalaureate 
sermon  Sunday  evening  on  the  topic,  "The 
Divine  Imperative."  Rev.  Edwards  was 
graduated  from  Bucknell  in  1926  and  three 
years  later  from  the  Colgate-Rochester 
Divinity  School.  He  was  pastor  of  the 
First  Baptist  Church  at  Plattsburgh,  N. 
v.,  from  1929  until  1936  when  he  accepted 
his  present  pastorate  at  Ossining  where 
his  services  as  a  minister  and  civic  leader 
have  evoked  wide  commendation.  In  par- 
ticular, he  has  been  cited  for  his  efforts 
in  behalf  of  the  young  people  of  his  com- 
munity. 

Earlier  on  Sunday,  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Odgers 
held  a  reception  for  the  graduating  class 
and  their  parents. 

Following  the  Commencement  exercis- 
es, the  leave-taking  of  the  seniors  and 
their  parents  occupied  much  of  the  balance 
of  Monday.  Alumni  Headquarters  bid  a 
fond  farewell  to  Carolyn  U.  Woodcock, 
liighest  honors  winner  of  the  class,  who 
had  served  in  the  alumni  office  during 
four  years  as  a  student.  The  senior  class 
as  a  group  left  the  campus  well  organized 
for  alumnihood,  with  more  than  30  mem- 
bers of  the  class  elected  and  installed  as

J\MONG  THE  CLUBS 


AMERICAN  BAPTIST  —  Bucknellian 
delegates  and  lay  representatives  to  the 
American  Baptist  Convention  met  for 
breakfast  in  Philadelphia  on  Saturday, 
June  1,  1957,  at  Stouffer's  Restaurant. 
Campus  representatives  attending  the 
breakfast  included  Dr.  Merle  M.  Odgers, 
President;  John  F.  Zeller  III  '41,  Assis- 
tant to  the  President;  John  H.  Shott  '22, 
Alumni  Secretary. 

After  a  delicious  breakfast  was  enjoyed 
by  the  31  alumni,  parents  and  friends,  self 
introductions  disclosed  that  there  were 
delegates  represented  from  Massachusetts 
to  Wisconsin.  Dr.  Odgers  spoke  on  the 
subject  "Academic  Touchdowns,"  and 
pointed  out  the  achievements  of  Bucknell 
during  the  past  decade  and  outlined  the 
plans  for   "keeping  Bucknell  strong." 

A  survey  of  those  in  attendance  indi- 
cated that  a  majority  had  been  in  Seattle 
for  last  year's  convention  and  planned  to 
be  in  Cincinnati  for  the  1958  American 
Baptist   Convention. 

CALIFORNIA  NORTHERN— Bucknel- 

lians  in  the  San  Francisco-bay  area  were 
treated  to  a  visit  from  a  second  representa- 
tive from  the  campus  in  the  person  of  Dr. 
Lester  Kieft,  chairman  of  the  Department 
of  Chemistry. 

Fourteen  members  were  on  hand  to 
meet  him  at  a  dinner  held  at  the  Leopard 
Cafe  in  San  Francisco  on  Tuesday  eve- 
ning, June  25.  After  a  fine  dinner,  we 
were  pleased  to  have  Dr.  Kieft  tell  us 
about  the  latest  news  of  the  college.  He 
brought  us  up  to  date  on  the  new  and 
proposed  facilities  on  campus  and  also  on 
the  high  scholastic  requirements  that 
Bucknell  is  employing.  It  was  evident 
from  his  remarks  that  Bucknell's  future 
as  a  university  of  top-most  standing  will 
continue. 

It  was  a  real  pleasure  to  have  Dr.  Kieft 
with  us  and  we  regret  that  more  of  our 
members  could  not  have  been  present  to 
enjoy  the  evening  and  to  meet  him. 

The  next  meeting  of  our   club  will   be 
the  early  part  of  September,  and  notices 
to  that  effect  will  be  sent  out  in  due  time.

Burma-Bucknell  visitations,  the  Christian 
.A-Ssociation  project  at  Cowan,  our  ever-

Joseph  W.  Henderson's  Death  a  Great  Loss  to  the  University 


Every  man  leaves  a  monument.  At  his 
death  on  July  25.  Joseph  \V.  Henderson 
left  many  great  monuments  to  his  Uni- 
versity, his  community,  his  state,  and  the 
nation. 

Dr.  Henderson,  who  was  67,  was  vaca- 
tioning at  Eagles  Mere,  Pa.,  when  he 
became  ill  on  Monday,  July  22.  He  was 
taken  to  Divine  Providence  Hospital,  Wil- 
liamsport,  and  died  there  on  Thursdav, 
July  25. 

News  of  his  passing  brought  immediate 
testimonials  from  unnumbered  persons  to 
his  family  and  his  University.  The  Hon. 
Horace  A.  Hildreth.  past  president  of 
Bucknell  University  and  former  U.  S.  Am- 
bassador to  Pakistan,  wrote: 

'"Most  Bucknellians  have  little  apprecia- 
tion of  the  great  and  invaluable  service 
that  Joe  Henderson  rendered  his  Univer- 
sity. His  firm  but  kindly  and  intelligent 
guidance  as  chairman  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees  of  Bucknell  University  ably 
solved  many  difficult  and  important  prob- 
lems for  Bucknell  Universit\'.  In  reach- 
ing vital  decisions,  his  clear  mind  enabled 
him  to  make  more  progress  in  solving 
problems  in  one-half  hour  than  most  peo- 
ple could  make  in  a  day's  labored  con- 
sideration. 

■'Mr.  Henderson's  standing  and  contacts 
in  the  world  of  public  affairs  and  in  the 
legal  profession  gave  a  prestige  to  Buck- 
nell University  that  few  of  its  other  alumni 
could  give. 

"The  Board  of  Trustees,  and  particular- 
ly the  Presidents  of  Bucknell  University 
who  had  the  help  of  Mr.  Henderson  as 
chairman  of  the  Trustees,  are  well  aware 
of  Mr.  Henderson's  great  contribution  to 
Bucknell  University,  and,  as  one  of  the 
Universit3''s  former  presidents,  I  should 
like  to  call  to  the  attention  of  all  the 
alumni  the  services  rendered  by  Mr.  Hen- 
derson. 

"His  community,  his  University,  his 
state,  and  the  nation  have  suffered  a 
grievous  loss." 

Dr.  Karl  D.  Hartzell,  dean  of  the  Uni- 
versity, in  a  letter  to  the  faculty,  com- 
mented: "Dr.  Henderson  has  been  active 
in  the  affairs  of  the  nation,  state,  and  his 
city,  but  above  all  he  placed  his  loyalty 
and  devotion  to  Bucknell  —  attesting  by 
long  service  the  importance  in  which  he 
held  the  place  of  higher  education  and  the 
private  college. 

"He  had  been  a  member  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees  since  1933  and  the  progress 
of  the  University  in  the  post  war  era  is 
in  no  small  part  a  tribute  to  his  leadership 
and  continuing  interest.  Two  small  ex- 
amples serve  to  characterize  his  deep  in- 
terest in  scholarship  and  academic 
achievement.  He  created  and  endowed  the 
fund  which  makes  possible  the  research 
stipend  awarded  each  summer  to  selected 
members  of  the  Bucknell  faculty.  Only 
this  year  he  created  and  endowed  a  schol- 
arship at  the  Harvard  Law  School  to 
which  preference  is  to  be  given  a  Bucknell 
graduate." 

An  editorial  in  The  Sunbury  Item  stated : 
"A  man  of  many  interests  and  outstand- 
ing prominence,  honored  by  his  profes- 
sional associates  with  the  presidency  of 
the  American  Bar  Association  and  on  re- 
peated occasions  by  his  fellow  citizens  of 
F'hiladclphia,  Mr,  Henderson  never  devi- 
ated in  hi»  loyalty  to  FJuckncll  from  (he 
time  of  his  graduation  in  1908  to  the  day 
he  ended  life's  journey.  As  chairman  of 
the  board  of  trustees  and  a  board  mem- 
ber for  24  years,  he  constantly  contributed

time,  effort,  substance  and  influence  to  the 
upbuilding  of  his  alma  mater." 

Born  February  6,  1890,  in  Montgomery, 
the  son  of  the  late  Samuel  B.  and  Jean 
Welles  Henderson,  he  attended  tlic  old 
Bucknell  Academy  and  was  graduated 
from  the  University  in  1908  with  the  A.B. 
degree.  He  entered  Harvard  Law  School 
and  was  awarded  the  LL.B.  degree  in 
1913,  the  same  year  he  was  awarded  the 
A.M.  degree  by  Bucknell  University.  He 
later  served  Harvard  as  a  member  of  the 
visiting  committee  of  the  Harvard  Law 
School.  In  1944,  he  was  awarded  the  hon- 
orary D.C.L.  degree  by  Bucknell  and  the 
honorary  LL.D.  degree  by  Temple  Uni- 
versity. He  was  one  of  the  youngest  ever 
graduated  from  Bucknell,  entering  col- 
lege at  the  age  of  14  anrl  graduating  wlien 
he  was  just  18  years  old.  A  brilh'ant  stu- 
dent, he  became  a  member  of  I'hi  Beta 
Kappa,  scholastic  fraternity,  and  an  hon- 
orary member  of  Omicron  Delta  Kappa, 
national  leadership  society.  Tliroughoul 
the  years  he  has  taken  an  active  intercsl 
in  his  college  fraternity,  Phi  Kappa  I'si. 


DISTINGUISHED  LAW  CAREER 

Dr.  Henderson  joined  the  Rawle  law 
offices  in  Philadelphia  in  1913  and  three 
years  later  formed  a  partnership  with  the 
late  Francis  Rawle.  At  the  time  of  his 
death  he  was  the  senior  partner  of  the 
firm  of  Rawle  and  Henderson,  the  Rawle 
offices  having  been  started  in  1783,  and 
probably  being  the  oldest  law  firm  in  the 
country. 

.Seldom  had  a  member  of  the  bar  served 
his  professional  co-workers  in  such  a  dis- 
tinguislied  manner  as  did  Dr.  Henderson. 
During  World  War  I,  he  served  as  a 
special  insurance  counsel  for  the  Alien 
I'roperty  Custodian  and  acted  as  legal 
adviser  to  the  Italian  Consulate  GcTieral 
in  an  eiglit-state  district.  In  recognition 
of  this  service,  he  was  decorated  as  an 
Officer  and  C!hevalicr  of  the  Order  of 
Crown  of  Italy.  He  had  carried  on  legal 
work  in  Argentina,  Brazil,  Chile,  and  Eng- 
land, and  had  liatidled  cases  of  consider- 
able legal  bearing  before  the  United  States 
Supreme  Court.  Other  legal  services  in- 
I  hided  activities  as  vice  president,  Na-

SERVED  BUCKNELL  WELL 

From  his  days  as  a  student,  Dr.  Hender- 
son had  served  Bucknell  University  and 
its  General  Alumni  Association  in  many 
ways.  His  span  of  service  covered  more 
than  half  a  century  for  he  entered  the 
Bucknell  Academy  in  the  spring  of  1900 
at  the  age  of  10.  His  qualities  of  leader- 
ship were  early  felt  in  the  councils  of  the 
University.  Active  in  local  alumni  club 
affairs  in  Philadelphia  from  the  time  he 
moved  to  that  city,  he  served  in  many  im- 
portant committee  assignments  and  as 
president  of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of 
Philadelphia.  Later  he  served  as  presi- 
dent of  the  General  Alumni  Association. 
Elected  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees of  Bucknell  University  in  1933,  he 
was  secretary  from  1943  to  1947,  and  had 
been  in  active   service  in  posts  of  leader- 


Dr.  Emma  E.  Dillon  '15  Com- 
pletes Alumni  Trustee  Term 

(Editor's  note:  When  Dr.  Emma  E. 
Dillon  '15  was  nominated  for  election  to 
the  University  Board  of  Trustees  by  the 
Alumni  Association  in  1952,  it  was  the  first 
time  that  an  election  was  held  with  only 
women  candidates  in  the  contest.  This 
procedure  was  another  first  in  alumni  ac- 
tivities and  came  about  because  alumnae 
of  the  University  felt  strongly  that  every 
five  years  at  least  a  woman  should  repre- 
sent the  Association  on  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees. The  report  which  follows  represents 
another  first— the  first  time  that  a  trustee 
has  reported  to  the  general  alumni  body 
at  the  conclusion  of  a  term  of  service  on 
the  Board  of  Trustees.  We  hope  you  will 
read  the  report  and  we  trust  that  from 
now  on  we  will  be  able  to  publish  similar 
reports  as  Alumni  Trustees  complete  their 
terms  of  office.) 
My  Dear  Bucknell  Alumni: 

My  five  years'  service  as  your  representative  on 
the  Hoard  of  Trustees  of  Bucknell  have  ended  with 
tliis  Commencement.  When  you  elected  me  Alumm 
Trustee,  I  was  very  proxid  of  the  honor,  was  deeply 
appreciative  of  your  faith,  and  tried  to  serve  intel- 
ligently. Now,  at  the  end  of  this  period,  I  want  to 
thank  you  for  the  opportunity  I  had  to  learn  many 
things  about  Bucknell  I  had  not  known  before.  It 
occurred  to  me  that  perhaps  you  would  like  to 
share  this  knowledge  for  it  makes  one  prouder 
than  ever  to  be  a  Bucknellian. 


ship  on  the  Board  ever  since.  Upon  the 
death  of  the  late  Roy  G.  Bostwick  in 
1947,  he  became  chairman  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees  and  served  in  that  capacity 
until  his  death.  On  two  occasions.  Dr. 
Henderson  served  as  acting  president  of 
the  University,  in  1949  following  the  res- 
ignation of  Dr.  Herbert  L.  Spencer,  and 
again  in  1953,  after  the  departure  of  Dr. 
Horace  A.  Hildreth.  His  achievements  on 
the  Board  of  Trustees  were  many;  for 
example,  just  to  mention  one,  was  his 
skill  and  counsel  in  the  handling  of  the 
Virginia  lands  owned  by  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity. His  leadership  on  the  Board  of 
Trustees  will  be  sadly  missed. 

Dr.  Henderson  is  survived  by  his  wi- 
dow, the  former  Anne  Kaler  Dresbach, 
member  of  the  Class  of  1913,  and  his  son, 
T.  Welles  Henderson,  Jr.,  a  member  of 
"the  law  firm  of  which  Dr.  Henderson  was 
senior  partner,  and  by  four  grandchildren. 
The  family  resided  at  201  West  Gravers 
Lane.  Chestnut  Hill,  Philadelphia.  Two 
brothers  and  a  sister,  all  of  whom  attended 
Bucknell,  preceded  him  in  death.  Several 
cousins  residing  in  Williamsport  and 
Montgomery  also  survive.     . 

Funeral  services  were  held  Monday  af- 
ternoon, July  29,  in  the  Presbyterian 
Church  of  Chestnut  Hill,  and  were  attend- 
ed by  approximately  four  hundred  per- 
sons, including  representatives  of  many  of 
the  organizations  with  which  Dr.  Hen- 
derson had  been  associated. 

Present  also  were  many  leaders  in  na- 
tional affairs  and  civic  life.  Among  them 
were  former  Senator  George  Wharton 
Pepper,  former  U.  S.  Attorney  General 
James  B.  McGranery  and  many  others. 

Services  were  conducted  by  Dr.  Bur- 
leigh Cruikshank,  former  pastor  of  the 
church,  and  Rev.  Andrew  Mutch,  retired 
pastor  of  Bryn  Mawr  Presbyterian 
Church  and  chaplain  for  St.  Andrew's 
Society.  Interment  was  in  West  Laurel 
Hill  Cemetery  in  Philadelphia. 

President  Merle  M.  Odgers  headed  a 
group  of  Bucknell  University  officials  who 
attended  the  services  in  a  body.  Buck- 
nell's  B^oard  of  Trustees  was  also  repre- 
sented by  a  large  delegation  of  members 
from  Philadelphia,  New  York,  Wilming- 
ton, and  Central  Pennsylvania. 


Although  I  am,  a  member  of  other  Boards  having 
to  do  with  business  and  organizations,  there  is 
none  whose  members  have  a  deeper  devotion  to 
dut-y  than  our  Board  of  Trustees.  All  the  men 
and  women  who  compose  our  Board  have  been 
and  are  most  devoted  to  Bucknell  to  have  accom- 
plished so  much  with  so  little,  to  have  given  so 
much  of  their  substance,  and  to  have  made  the 
most  valuable  gift  of  all,  their  time,  to  the  business 
of  operating  the  University.  All  serve  at  their  own 
expense  and  distance  has  been  no  barrier. 

Like  most  Ahimni,  I  took  many  things  for  grant- 
ed, but  now  I  know  that  every  building  and  every 
other  thing  on  the  campus  are  the  result  of  the 
dreams  of  people  who  cared  enough  for  genera- 
tions yet  unseen  to  work,  often  against  great  and 
discouraging  obstacles,  to  make  those  dreams  come 
true. 

Before  you  gave  me  this  opportunity,  I  knew 
tliere  had  to  be  business  arrangements  and,  be- 
cause we  BucknelUans  are  not  a  wealthy  group 
on  the  whole,  I  knew  there  had  to  be  careful  plan- 
ning by  -somebody",  but  I  have  never  known  any 
group  to  be  moi  e  careful  nor  take  such  great 
pride  tiiat  none  of  the  money  entrusted  to  them 
should  be  wasted.  The  Board,  the  Administration, 
tlie  ii  acuity,  and  the  workmen  all  share  in  this. 

We  have  a  good  provision  in  our  charter  which 
prevents  the  encumbering  of  our  real  estate.  We 
can  truly  say  when  we  look  at  our  Hill,  "This  u 
ours  "  Tliis  is  not  an  easy  procedure  to  follow 
especially  when  needs  and  demands  are  great  and 
pressing,  but  it  is  a  highly  satisfactory  one.  You 
may  be  sure  that  any  gift  you  make  to  Bucknell, 
no  matter  how  small  or  how  large,  will  go  into  the 
University  itself.  I  have  teamed  that  our  Alumni 
h  mid  has  come  to  mean  very  much  to  the  Univer- 
sity and  that  many  small  gifts  add  up  to  an  appre- 
ciable difference  in  otir  operations. 

Another  thing  I  have  learned  is  that  we  have 
benefited  more  than  we  know  through  particular 
application  to  the  adage  that  the  Lord  helps  those 
who  help  themselves.  Because  BucknelUans  are 
helpful  to  Bucknell,  others  have  been  willing  to 
help  too.  A  look  around  The  Hill  gives  proof  of 
this.  Here  again  your  gifts  add  up  to  an  appre- 
ciable difference  in  our  campus. 

While  I  was  at  College  and  for  sometime  there- 
after, despite  the  fact  I  had  a  working  scholarship 
to  help  me,  I  had  an  idea  that  because  I  had  paid 
my  tuition,  1  had  paid  for  my  education.  Nothing 
could  possibly  have  been  further  from  the  truth! 
When  I  finally  started  to  think,  I  realized 
tuition  covers  only  the  barest  cwrent  expenses 
incident  to  the  use  by  the  student.  It  could  never 
make  a  scholarship  available;  it  could  never  pay 
for  so  much  as  one  brick  in  one  building ;  it  could 
never  carry  but  a  very  small  fraction  of  the  salary 
of  any  teacher;  it  could  never  cover  repairs  to 
buildings,  nor  their  normal  upkeep.  All  these  things 
must  come  from  others.  Scholarships  do  not  just 
happen,  buildings  did  not  build  themselves  the 
campus  does  not  maintain  itself.  All  these  things 
I  was  permitted  to  use  for  my  education,  were 
dreamed  about,  planned,  and  given  by  those  who 
care  enough  for  young  people  to  help  them  to  get 
an  education,  and  for  their  country  because  they 
knew  the  country  needs  educated  citizens.  The 
only  way  I  can  repay  these  unknown  benefactors 
who  made  it  possible  for  me  to  have  a  college  to 
attend,  is  to  care  enough  for  those  who  follow  me 
to  give  of  myself  and  my  substance  in  the  greatest 
measure  I  can. 

It  has  been  my  privilege  to  be  a  student,  an 
alumna  active  in  the  Alumni  Association  and  final- 
ly its  President,  a  very  wonderful  honor  in  itself, 
and  your  representative  on  the  Board  of  Trustees 
of  Bucknell.  In  all  these  steps,  I  have  learned  thai 
whatever  time  and  money,  very  little  because  I 
haven't  very  much,  I  have  given  io  Bucknell  are 
amongst  the  best  investments  I  could  have  made 
for  niy  personal  satisfaction.  I  feel  I  have  joined 
the  long  procession  of  line  Bucknell  people  whose^ 
lives  have  contributed  something  to  the  future.  I 
can  only  hope  that  all  other  alumni  will  share  this 
great  satisfaction  with  me. 

Thank  vou  again  for  the  great  opportunity  you 
gave  me  to  serve  all  of  you  and  especially  Bucknell. 
Sincerely, 

EMMA  E.  DILLON

officers.  Knowing  that  the  group  would 
be  spread  all  over  the  world  within  a  few 
weeks,  adequate  organization  was  built  to 
maintain  the  Class  of  1957  as  a  well  or- 
ganized unit.  Many  members  pledged 
themselves  to  return  to  the  campus  June 
1958  for  the  first  big  reunion  of  the  class.

Samuel  L  Clark,  Trustee, 
1946-1956 

Samuel  L.  Clark  died  at  his  home,  310 
Linden  Drive,  Merion,  Saturday,  April  20, 
1957,  at  the  age  of  77  years.  His  death 
followed  a  prolonged  illness. 

Mr.  Clark  was  born  in  Indiana  County 
where  the  Clark  family  had  many  asso- 
ciations with  the  commercial  life  of  the 
area. 

Samuel  graduated  from  Bucknell  Acad- 
emy and  entered  the  banking  and  indus- 
trial business  world  of  the  county,  becom- 
ing directly  associated  with  business  ac- 
tivities at  Glen  Campbell.  Later,  he  trans- 
ferred his  activities  to  Philadelphia,  where 
he  served  as  treasurer  and  eventually  pres- 
ident of  Clark  Brothers  Coal  Company. 

As  the  business  interests  of  Mr.  Clark 
expanded,  he  became  president  of  the 
Royal  Oil  and  Gas  Corporation,  a  com- 
pany having  active  interests  in  several 
Western  states. 

In  1900  Mr.  Clark  married  Margrctta 
Stadden,  a  member  of  a  prominent  cen- 
tral Pennsylvania  family,  well  and  favor- 
ably known  to  many  Bucknellians  of  that 
period.  There  were  four  children:  David 
S.,  John  Willard,  Samuel  L..  Jr.,  and  Anna 
K.  Mrs.  Clark  died  in  1949. 

During  most  of  the  time  of  Mr.  Clark's 
membership  on  the  Board  of  Trustees,  he 
wa.s  not  able  to  serve  as  actively  as  his 
custom,  for  he,  in  any  project  that  he 
undertook,  Kcncrally  or  readily  accepted 
the  responsibilities  of  any  position  he  as- 
sumed. Me  appreciated  the  needs  of  the 
educational  world;  eagerly  associated  with 
men  rif  affairs;  and  cn^^aged  in  recreational 
and  social  activities,  as  was  evident  in  his 
membership  and  interests  in  the  Over- 
liroolc  I'rcsbytcrian  Church,  the  Yachting 
<Mul»  at  Stone  Harbor  and  the  I'nion 
LeaKUc  of  Philadelphia. 

In  the  passing  of  .Samuel  L.  ('lark, 
Bucknell  and  education  lost  a  true  friend. 
The  community  in  which  he  lived  lost  the 
direct  interests  of  one  who  understood  the 
Deeds  and  the  programs  helpful  to  society.

THE  BUCKNELL  REVIEW        Gifts  to  the  Bucknell  Archives 


The  May  issue  of  The  Bucknell  Revieiv 
contains  two  essays  on  individual  poets,  and 
two  on  general  critical  questions,  one  on 
symbolism  in  poetry,  and  one  on  the  theatre. 
Professor  Ralph  Rees  of  the  Bucknell  En- 
glish department  in  "The  Armor  of  Mari- 
anne Moore"  begins  with  the  observation 
that  the  idea  of  the  armor  worn  by  animals 
occurs  everywhere  in  Miss  Moore's  poetry 
and  quickly  extends  the  metaphor  to  char- 
acterize Miss  Moore's  own  technique  of  poe- 
try, which  he  analyzes.  He  draws  upon 
Randall  Jarrell,  Wallace  Fowlie,  and  others 
for  confirmation  of  his  observations. 

Mr.  James  Carens,  also  of  the  Bucknell 
English  department,  writes  a  lengthy  anal- 
ysis of  .'Andrew  Marvell's  poems  on  Oliver 
Cromwell,  especially  The  First  Anniivrsury 
oj  the  Government  under  O.  C.  He  discusses 
Marvell's  approval  of  Cromwell,  who  ap- 
peared to  Marvell  as  representing  the  princi- 
ple of  order,  and  then  examines  the  imagery 
of  the  poem  in  a  somewhat  mechanical  man- 
ner, according  to  the  principles  of  the  New 
Critics. 

Mr.  Marshall  Sutlier,  of  the  State  Uni- 
versity of  New  York,  in  a  provocative  and 
closely-reasoned  essay  entitled  "On  the  In- 
terpretation of  Kubla  Khan"  examines  a  (|ues 
tiori  important  for  i)oetic  criticism,  and  cs- 
jiecially  for  contemporary  criticisni.  It  is 
the  question:  Is  symbolism  a  special  poetic 
technique,  used  only  by  certain  poets,  or  is 
it  an  inherent  and  essential  part  of  all  |)octry 
as  distinguished  from  prose?  Drawing  upon 
Coleridge,  Mr.  Suther  argues  thai  symbolism 
is  the  essence  of  all  poetry,  and  that  such 
images  as  the  pleasure  dome  and  the  cave 
of  ice  in  "Kubla  Khan"  slmulil  be  treated 
symbolically  in  order  to  reveal  llie  mcaniuK 
of  llio  poem,  lie  <loes  not  (irovide  the  iiiler-

Three  recent  gifts  have  greatly  enriched 
the  archives  of  Bucknell  University,  One 
of  these,  consisting  of  documents,  photo- 
graphs, letters,  and  other  materials  illus- 
trating the  career  of  David  Jayne  Hill,  a 
former  president  of  Bucknell,  was  made 
by  Mr.  Hill's  grandson,  Walter  L.  Hill, 
Jr.  '23.  Another,  consisting  of  the  diplo- 
ma and  the  diary  of  George  Good  (Buck- 
nell, 1852),  was  made  by  Mr.  Good's  great- 
grandson,  T.  M.  Steece.  Mr.  Good's  diary 
contains,  inter  alia,  entries  for  the  two 
years  when  he  was  a  student  in  Lewisburg 
(1847-48  and  1851-52),  In  the  final  entry 
this  statement  appears:  "Went  and  got  the 
signatures  to  my  Diploma  of  Dr.  Malcolm 
Prest  of  G.  W.  Anderson,  Secretary,  and 
of  Heman  Lincoln  Chancellor  during  this 
afternoon."  The  third  is  the  gift  of  two 
l)ound  volumes  of  an  early  Pennsylvania 
newspaper  edited  by  a  great  grandfather 
of  the  donor.  Dr.  William  D.  Hinman  '07, 
Floral  City,  Florida. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees 
in  June  1956,  Dr.  J,  Orin  Oliphant  of  the 
Department  of  History  was  named  Univer-

our  call  in  the  last  issue  of  TWE  P.  LICK-

that  should  be  preserved  in  the  archives 
of  the  University.  Will  you  please  con-

SPORTS 


By    HARRY    HULMES,    Athletic    Publicity 


Football   in   '57 


MIKE  HIXSON   '59 

When  Harry  Lawrence  ventured  the 
opinion  last  year  at  this  same  time  that  his 
1956  eleven  would  prove  to  be  superior  to 
the  team  that  represented  Bucknell  the 
previous  autumn,  he  wasn't  dreaming.  De- 
spite the  fact  that  his  forces  were  con- 
stantly side-tracked  by  illness  and  injuries, 
the  canny  coach  managed  to  salvage  three 
of  the  eight  contests  on  the  Bisons'  sched- 
ule, thus  improving  upon  the  2-6-1  mark 
of  'SS. 

As  for  the  coming  fall,  Lawrence,  cele- 
brating his  eleventh  term  as  Bucknell's 
grid  tutor,  anticipates  continued  progress 
by  his  students  of  the  pigskin  sport.  "We 
should  be  better  than  we  were  the  past 
two  years,  provided  injuries  and  illness  are 
held  to  a  minimum,"  prophesied  a  mentor 
who  disdains  use  of  the  crying  towel  that 
is  usually  standard  equipment  for  college 
coaches.  "I'll  remain  an  optimist  until 
I  have  good  reason  to  be  otherwise,"  the 
bossman  added. 

Especially  encouraging  to  Lawrence  is 
the  shape  of  his  first  string  line.  "We  are 
already  set  at  most  of  our  line  posts, 
whereas  a  year  ago  the  situation  was  un- 
settled most  of  the  time.  We  can  start 
seven  lettermen  and  give  most  of  them 
able  relief,  although  it  may  require  some 
doubling  of  duties.  We  won't  be  deep — 
l)ut  we  will  be  versatile.  There's  speed 
and  experience  up  front.  At  the  moment 
our  line  appears  to  be  better  off  than  our 
backfield.  But  things  can  happen  and 
situations  can  change,"  Harry  continued, 
hoping,  of  course,  that  his  backs  will  sur- 
prise him. 

"Our  greatest  pick-up  should  be  in  de- 
fensive line  play,  while  our  added  overall 
experience  should  help  make  our  split-T 
run  more  smoothly.  We  shouldn't  make 
as  many  mistakes  on  the  attack  as  we  did 
last  fall.  We  won't  go  undefeated  but  we 
will  give  anyone  on  our  schedule  a  terrific 
battle." 

"Incidentally,  most  of  our  opponents  ap- 
pear to  be  much  stronger  than  they  were 
last  season.  Gettysburg  and  Temple  (to 
be  met  at  Lewisburg,  Oct.  5),  in  particu- 
lar, seem  to  be  on  the  way  up  with  vet- 
eran outfits  and  some  talented  newcom- 
ers. Although  we  usually  have  good  luck 
against  them,  Albright  will  probably  be 
troublesome  (the  Lions  open  Bucknell's 
home  campaign  under  the  Memorial  Stadi- 
um lights,  Sept.  21).  We  don't  really  know 
too  much  about  Carnegie  Tech,  except 
that  they  threw  an  awful  lot  of  passes  last 

10 


season  and   their  pitcher   (John  Tucci)   is 
back  again," 

"Boston  University  (which  visits  Buck- 
nell for  a  homecoming  clash  Oct.  19) 
could  be  the  toughest  team  on  our  sched- 
ule. They  play  Syracuse  and  West  Vir- 
ginia before  they  come  here  so  we  ought 
to  learn  a  little  bit  about  them  in  a  short 
time.  Lehigh,  Lafayette,  Colgate,  and 
Delaware  (a  Bison  guest  come  Nov.  17) 
seldom  fail  to  field  standout  elevens  and 
'57  will  be  no  exception.  No,  there  won't 
be  any  softies  for  the  Bisons  this  season, 
but  we'll  be  ready  for  whatever  comes." 

If  you're  seeking  a  tale  of  woe  Harry 
Lawrence  is  the  wrong  guy  to  look  up. 
Even  in  mid-summer's  devastating  heat, 
with  several  of  his  key  players  scrimmag- 
ing the  books  in  summer  school,  and  a 
couple  more  recuperating  from  vital  oper- 
ations, Harry  retains  his  enthusiasm. 

What  does  he  have  to  work  with  this 
season?  Well,  his  formidable  forward  wall 
will  feature  tussle-tested  lettermen  from 
flank  to  flank  in  Bruce  Nealy,  Bill  Wala- 
sek.  Gene  Meenan,  Mike  Hixson.  Lew 
Hart,  Bob  Holmes  and  Rogers  Frassenei. 
Tackle  Holmes  and  g:uard  Hart  loom  as 
the  big  shots  of  the  line  with  Hixson,  at 
the  pivot,  a  possible  surprise  package  as 
a  junior. 

These  seven  stalwarts  should  receive 
capable  support  from  veteran  Dick  Hunn, 
a  rugged  220  pounder,  and  sophomore  re- 
cruits Charlie  Negron.  a  guard,  and  ends 
Jim  Brady  and  Doug  Forsyth.  There  are 
others  but  these  are  the  lads  with  the  top 
potential.  Observers  might  pay  special 
attention  to  Brady,  6-2,  205-pound  fire- 
eater,  who  could  develop  into  quite  a 
wingman. 

In  the  secondary,  quarterback  is  well 
staffed  with  holdover  Terry  Fetterman 
backed  by  junior  Lee  Davis  (benched  with 
an  injury  in   '56)   and   sophs   Dennis   Cox 


and  Bud  Weisbeck.  Cox  is  said  to  be 
another  rookie  who'll  bear  watching.  As 
long  as  converted  halfback  Bob  Fitzsim- 
mons  can  stick  in  there  the  fullback  post 
will  be  in  good  hands.  A  worthy  under- 
study, however,  may  have  to  be  drafted 
from  the  halfback  ranks. 

The  halfbacks  have  sufficient  speed  but 
they  lack  size  and  drive.  The  Bisons  may 
have  to  open  up  their  offense  more  to 
compensate  for  the  dearth  of  power.  Var- 
sity returnees  are  Jack  Brothers,  Chuck 
Wagner,  Andy  Errickson  and  Charlie  Ap- 
gar,  while  the  sophomore  voted  most  likely 
to  succeed  at  the  halfback  position  is  5-10, 
170-pound  Clint  Gilkey. 

Please  bear  in  mind,  ye  loyal  supporters 
of  the  Bison,  a  4-5  record  would  represent 
additional  improvement,  and  quite  an 
achievement  to  boot. 

Oberlin  Joins  Coaching  Ranks 

During  the  past  summer  Roger  Oberlin 
was  named  head  baseball  coach,  assistant 
football  coach  and  physical  education  in- 
structor at  Bucknell. 

For  the  last  five  years  Oberlin  had  been 
coaching  baseball  and  football  at  Quincy 
High  School  in  Quincy,  Michigan.  He 
comes  to  Bucknell  well  recommended  by 
his  former  coaches,  co-workers  and  team- 
mates. 

A  graduate  of  Hillsdale  College  of 
Hillsdale,  Michigan,  the  28-year-old  Ober- 
lin played  four  seasons  of  minor  league 
baseball  after  starring  as  a  first  baseman, 
a  football  quarterback,  and  a  basketball 
guard  for  his  alma  mater. 

Roger,  who  is  married  and  the  father  of 
two  sons,  is  expected  to  assume  his  grid 
duties  August  31st,  when  the  Bison  squad 
is  scheduled  to  report  for  the  start  of  fall 
practice.  He  will  assist  head  mentor  Har- 
ry Lawrence  by  handling  the  ends  and  the 
defensive  backfield.

Bucknell  Prospers  in  Spring 
Sports 

On  four  spring  sports  fronts  the  Bisons 
posted  an  overall  29-18  record.  The  track- 
men of  Bus  Blum  skimmed  to  six  straight 
victories  without  a  loss.  During  a  three- 
year  span  the  Orange  and  Blue  thinclads 
have  captured  14  of  15  dual  and  triangular 
meets.  Meanwhile,  the  golfers,  under  Har- 
old Evans,  blazed  to  a  9-3  finish  and  their 
second  consecutive  Middle  Atlantic  Con- 
ference crown.  Also  included  was  a  5-4 
conquest  of  Penn  State,  first  in  the 
school's  links  history. 

Hank  Peters'  net  squad  clicked  at  an 
8-5  clip,  the  sixth  campaign  in  a  row  in 
which  the  Herd  tennis  team  earned  at 
least  a  mark  of  .500.  Only  Bill  Lane's 
last  BU  baseball  club  failed  to  win  more 
than  it  lost.  The  tossers  dropped  their 
final  six  contests  and  wound  up  with  a 
6-10  slate. 


Bison    Headquarters   for 
Football  Games  Away 

Don't  forget  that  football  games

This  is  your  invitation  to  suggest  the 
names  of  Bucknellians  to  be  considered  as 
candidates  for  a  number  of  University  and 
Alumni  posts. 

The  form  (provided  below)  will  make 
it  easy  to  exercise  one  of  your  privileges 
and  responsibilities  as  a  member  of  the 
Bucknell  Alumni  family. 

WHO  IS  YOUR  ALUMNI 
TRUSTEE  CANDIDATE? 

Each  year  one  alumni  trustee  is  nomi- 
nated for  consideration  for  membership  on 
the  Board  of  Trustees  by  vote  of  Alumni 
from  a  slate  of  three  candidates  selected 
by  the  Alumni  Committee  on  Nomination 
of  Trustee.  In  our  large  alumni  body, 
many  likely  possibilities  might  be  over- 
looked unless  we  have  your  suggestion  at 
hand.  Your  suggested  candidate  need  not 
be  a  member  of  your  class  nor  must  he 
reside  in  your  community,  but  he  must 
have  attended  Bucknell  University  and 
should  be  able  to  give  consideration  of  the 
broad  problems  of  University  policy  and 
should  be  willing  and  able  to  attend  two 
board  meetings  plus  several  committee 
meetings  each  year. 

ALUMNI  AWARDS  CANDIDATES 

The  committee  on  Alumni  Awards  will 
meet  on  Saturday,  October  19,  to  select 
recipients  for  alumni  awards  in  three  cate- 
gories: (a)  for  meritorious  achievement 
in  the  field  or  profession  in  which  the 
candidate  is  engaged,  (b)  for  recognized 
contributions  and  service  to  fellowmen 
through  such  media  as  religion,  charity, 
art,  science  or  public  welfare,  and  (c)  for 
outstanding  service,  unselfish  interest,  and 
demonstrated  loyalty  to  the  Univi -.-■•■y  and 
to  the  Association.  The  comnn.i'p  will 
appreciate  your  suggestions  of  candidates 
in  these  three  categories. 


ALUMNI  BOARD  OF  DIRECTORS 

The  by-laws  of  The  General  Alumni 
Association  provide  for  an  election  of 
five  members  to  the  governing  Board  of 
Directors  each  year,  and  you  are  invited 
to  suggest  the  names  of  Alumni  to  be  con- 
sidered as  alumni  board  of  director  nom- 
inees. 

Candidates  for  all  these  posts  must  be 
considered  by  committees  meeting  on 
Homecoming  Week-end,  October  19.  A 
great  deal  of  clerical  work  and  time  is 
required  in  preparing  biographical  resumes 
for  committee  action.  Consequently,  your 
suggestions  on  the  form  below  are  needed 
now. 

A  WORD  OF  CAUTION 

In  the  past,  a  few  Alumni  have  misin- 
terpreted this  call  for  candidates  and  have 
felt  that  multi-recommendations  are  nec- 
essary for  favorable  committee  action. 
Such  is  not  the  case;  a  candidate  with  one 
recommendation  receives  the  same  com- 
mittee consideration  as  a  candidate  with 
a  hundred  recommendations.  It  would 
be  well  to  keep  in  mind  that  under  our 
by-laws,  nominating  committees  are  re- 
quired to  select  the  candidate  it  considers 
"best  suited  and  qualified,"  rather  than  on 
the  basis  of  the  number  of  recommenda- 
tions. Selection  of  candidates  should  never 
be  made  as  a  result  of  a  popularity  con- 
test. 

Remember — committees  meet  October 
ly,  and  in  the  case  of  alumni  trustee  can- 
didates, cannot  consider  persons  who 
have  not  previously  accepted  the  invita- 
tion to  be  placed  in  nomination.  As  this 
clearance  requires  time,  your  suggestions 
should  be  made  now.

John  I.  Woodrufif  '90  representing  the  earliest 
class  in  attendance.  The  president,  as  pre- 
siding officer,  opened  the  gathering  with 
prayer.  John  C.  Johnson  '04  and  Mrs.  Sara 
Judd  Shields  '02  served  as  secretaries  pro- 
tem.  Faculty  hosts,  Prof,  and  Mrs.  Frank 
A.  Sprague,  were  introduced  and  brought 
greetings. 

An  item  in  the  president's  report  of  special 
interest  was  a  statement  of  a  new  co-promo- 
tional plan  by  districts  for  increasing  attend- 
ance upon  the  annual  reunions.  (Some  co- 
promoters  reporting  showed  possibilities  in 
the  plan).  Also,  83  returns  were  received 
from  Emeritus  Club  members  in  response  to 
the  Reunion  publicity  sent  out.  This  was 
an  increase  of  26  over  1956.  It  seems  an 
evidence  of  an  increased  interest. 

All  officers  of  the  club  were  re-elected  as 
follows:  Dr.  Charles  M.  Teufel  '04,  president; 
Prof.  Frank  E.  Burpee  '01,  vice  president; 
William  G.  Murdock,  Esq.  '04,  secretary- 
treasurer;  Col.  A.  F.  Dershimer  '03,  class 
fund  manager;  Mary  Cotton  *96,  class  report- 
er; and.  Dr.  Mabel  Grier  Lesher  '01  and  Mrs. 
Sarah  Judd  Shields  '02,  directors. 

A  recommendation  of  the  Board  was  adopt- 
ed "That,  in  accord  with  Objective  4  of  the 


CLASS   OF    1902 


The  Class  of  1902  met  with  the  Emeritus 
Club  in  Hunt  Hall  Recreation  Room,  Satt  r- 
day  morning,  June  8,  1957.  In  the  afternoon, 
as  the  55-year  class,  we  met  at  the  home  of 
Dr.  Lewis  E.  Theiss.  Ten  of  us  were  theie, 
but  only  six  had  been  graduated  in  the  Col- 
lege Class  of  1902.  "We  welcome  graduates 
and  matriculates  from  all  departments  of  the 
University  and  their  wives  and  husbands  at 
all  reunions. 

Less  than  50  graduated  from  the  College 
that  year  and  there  are  only  16  living,  but 
Institute  and  Music  graduates  bring  our  roll 
to  34. 

Alan  Cunningham,  reunion  chairman,  had 
letters  from  a  number  of  the  class  from  which 
he  read  interesting  excerpts.  Following  this 
each  one  present  told  of  his  life  and  what  ne 
knew  of  the  whereabouts  and  lives  of  other 


constitution,  'that  more  attention  be  given 
to  collect  and  preserve  records,  letters,  news 
write-ups.  anecdotes  and  local  traditions  of 
Bucknell  and  contributions  of  books  to  the 
library.'  " 

With  the  discussion  of  agenda  items  it  was 
learned  that  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUM- 
NUS was  widely  read  and  local  clubs  are 
given  considerable  attention.  The  year's  con- 
tributions to  the  Class  Fund  showed  158 
Emeritus  Club  contributors  representing  38% 
and  totalling  in  money  $2,841.00.  June  con- 
tributions undoubtedly  increased  these  fig- 
ures. 

Fortunately  it  was  possible  through  the 
morning  and  the  3:00  P.  M.  social  meeting  in 
the  Walker  House  to  give  attention  in  whole 
or  in  large  part  to  every  one  of  the  43  written 
greetings  received  which  were  discussed  and 
appreciated. 

In  reporting  a  reunion  event  it  is  under- 
stood that  class  and  college  spirit  in  reminis- 
cent mood  are  intangibles  that  give  peculiar 
zest  to  the  reunion  assembly. 

The  morning  session  adjourned  for  the  pic- 
ture of  the  reunion  attendants  in  which  the 
Class  of  1902,  even  though  later  holding  its 
own  reunion,  joined  in  a  body.  The  All- 
Alumni  Luncheon  was  well  attended  by 
Emeritus  Club  Alumni.

CLASS   OF    19Q7 


June  8,  1957,  will  long  live  in  the  memories 
of  all  07'ers  who  were  present  at  our  SO'h 
class  reunion. 

We  greatly  missed  our  president,  L'-*o 
Rockwell,  who  could  not  get  away  from  tis 
teaching  post  at  the  University  of  Guadala- 
jara, Mexico.  However,  our  faculty  ho;  t. 
Dr.  Russell  A.  Headley,  came  to  our  aid  and 
conducted  the  meeting.  He  saw  to  it  that 
we  all  wore  funny  hats  when  we  knew  we 
looked  funny  enough  already.  He  also  co.i- 
ducted  the  election  of  officers,  all  our  present 
fficers  being  re-elected.  They  are  as  fel- 
lows: Dr.  Leo  L.  Rockwell,  president;  Mrs. 
lohn  W.  Speicher,  class  fund  manager;  Dr. 
Leo  L.  Rockwell,  class  reporter;  and  Rev. 
George  A.  Riggs,  reunion  chairman. 

George  Riggs  distributed  the  reunion  books 
which  he  had  compiled.  George,  in  his  80'h 
year,  tackled  the  editing  job  which  no  one 
else  had  the  nerve  to  do.  Bless  him!  He  d^d 
a  good  jobi  The  camera  man  took  our  pic- 
ture, and  right  here  I  want  to  make  an  amaz-

members.  Almost  all  are  "'retired"  but  still 
'loing  some  work.  All  are  interested  in  Buck- 
nell.  Those  present  expressed  the  opinion 
'hat  they  preferred  a  college  the  size  "IT 
•-'SED  TO  BE"  rather  than  one  with  classes 
as  large  as  they  are  today,  when  class  mem- 
bers hardly  know  each  other. 

The  Class  of  1902  L'Agcnda  and  the  senior 
v:lass  picture  helped  us  to  remember  all  our 
classmates,  and  many  interesting  tales  of 
college  days  were  told. 

Dr.  Lewis  E.  Theiss  was  re-elected  for  the 
next  five  years  as  class  president  and  class 
•und  manager. 

We  separated  with  expressions  of  thanks 
to  our  kind  host  and  hostess  and  promised 
1o  meet  again  in  five  years.

fome  back  lor  just  one  hour  to  see  the  big 
crowd  who  jammed  the  gym  at  the  All- 
.\lumni  Luncheon,  and  wouldn't  he  have  been 
fhrilled  to  see  all  those  new  buildings! 
'  Alter  the  luncheon  we  were  guests  of  Dr. 
and  Mrs.  Paul  Stolz  at  their  attractive  home. 
This  informal  tea  was  a  very  nice  homey 
affair.  We  all  just  sat  around  and  had  a  good 
old  fa.>ihioned  visit.  We  had  so  much  to  say 
»nd  so  short  a  time  in  which  to  say  it.  We 
^Iked  about  you  absentees  and,  of  course,

They  say  "A  reunion  is  a  get-together  to 
see  who's  falling  apart,"  not  with  the  Class 
of  1912. 

The  Conners,  Iglers,  Waltzs,  Ruby  Stuck, 
Rip  Ruth,  Lew  Robinson,  Coleman  Harris, 
and  Frank  Hean  arrived  Fridaj'  evening.  Sat- 
urday morning's  contingents  were  the  Ap- 
gars,  Williams,  Riehls,  Crandells,  Sprouts, 
Everetts,  Davenports,  Bartholemews,  Gundy 
Pawlings,  Jim  Harris  and  Isabelle,  Helen 
Ruth  and  friends,  and  Walter  Eisenmenger. 
NOTICE!  Would  you  believe  that  Barthole- 
mew,  Eisenmanger,  and  Helen  Ruth  ap- 
peared after  45  years? 

.\t  the  class  business  meeting  all  the  pres- 
ent officers  were  re-elected.  They  are  as 
follows:  James  P.  Harris,  Esq.,  president; 
.\.  Oscar  Wolfe,  class  fund  manager;  and 
Maze  Callahan,  class  reporter  and  reunion 
chairman. 

.\  Model  T  Ford  carried  your  reunion 
chairmen  with  Frank  Hean  and  Lew  Robin- 
son on  the  running  boards,  expanding  their 
lungs  and  displaying  the  1912  banner.  The 
class,  the  only  one  to  parade,  followed  in 
a  drenching  rain, 

Frank  Davis  was  our  host.  We  were 
privileged  to  have  as  our  guests  for  luncheon 
Mrs,  Davis,  Mrs,  Dale  Spotts,  Dr.  and  Mrs. 


Nicodemus,  Dr,  and  Mrs.  Fred  McAllister 
'11,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Frank  Richards  '13,  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Jim  McClure,  Roy  Mikle  '10,  and 
Renee,  Sal  Fisher  and  Alargaret  McCIure, 

We  were  especially  pleased  to  meet  and 
know  our  in-laws,  Katie  Igler,  Sarah  Waltz, 
Petrona  Hean,  Margaret  Sprout,  Evelyn 
Riehl,  Grace  Crandell,  Nelle  Follmer  Ever- 
ett, Isabelle  Harris,  Edna  Davenport,  and 
Helen  Bartholemew.  Also  Ray  Apgar,  Frank 
Williams,  Gundy  Pawling  and  Pop.  He  "tot- 
ed" the  "extras"  so  I  must  mention  him  even 
though   Emily   Post  might  not  approve. 

Our  regalia  was  quite  unique.  Patty  Con- 
ner, had  cut  the  pictures  from  our  1912  L'Agcn- 
da, framed  them  and  inserted  a  pin  to  fasten 
them  on.  To  some,  we  might  have  appeared 
as  a  walking  photograph  gallery,  but  not  to 
the  wives  who  became  quite  romantic  and 
fell  in  love  with  their  beaux  again.  I  can't 
say,  being  one  of  the  wives.  Pop  displayed 
no  romantic  interest  at  all. 

Then  we  had  a  badge,  a  blue  ribbon  with 
a  '12  on  it.  Again  to  some,  they  might  have 
thought  we  were  to  a  poultry  auction,  all 
Rhode  Island  Reds  "The  Best  Chicken 
Wins,"  but  to  us  it  was  the  Class  of  1912 
celebrating  a  wonderful  45  years,

Wc  did  it!  They  thought  liecause  we  liad 
never  been  a  very  active  class  that  wc  could 
not  have  such  a  hig  reunion  after  40  years. 

There  were  58  at  our  dinner  Friday  eve- 
ning. Five  hail  to  cancel  at  the  last  minute 
for  very  good   reasons,     .Some   didn't  get   in 


until  .Saturday,  so  joined  us  for  tlie  class 
liusiiiess  meeting  and  All-Alumni  Luncheon.

the  ■■vanilla"  and  "chocolate"  punch  was  very 
good,  too. 

"Pedy"  did  himself  proud.  He  worked  very 
hard  for  months,  and  I  know  we  are  all 
very  thankful  to  him.  George  Bender  gave 
us  beautiful  table  decorations  on  all  the  tables 
and  made  dear  little  blue  carnations  tied  with 
orange  ribbons  for  each  of  us  to  wear.  Her- 
man Reich  and  his  good  wife  took  charge  of 
tickets  and  reservations,  etc.  Ralph  Derr 
gave  us  automatic  pencils  and  Maurice  Cry- 
der  gave  us  leather  notebooks. 

Gene  Bertin  edited  our  1957  Reunion  Book, 
with  help  from  'Tedy"  and  the  Alumni  Office. 
It's  a  dandy!  Better  buy  one.  I  know  you'll 
enjoy  it,  and  you'll  help  defray  expenses. 

Our  same  officers  were  elected  for  five 
more  years.  They  are  as  follows:  Earle  S. 
Pedigo.  president;  Arthur  Yon,  vice  presi- 
dent; irvin  P.  Sowers,  secretary-treasurer; 
Clinton  I.  Sprout,  class  fund  manager;  Mrs. 
Rav  Speare  Topham,  class  reporter;  and 
Earle  S.  Pedigo,  reunion  chairman. 

In  honor  of  all  couples  present  celebrating 
40  years  of  married  life  in  June,  a  big  cake 
was  cut  and  there  were  four  couples  in  on  it. 

Saturday  our  picture  was  taken  in  the  Olin 


Science  Building.  It  is  very  good,  but  a  num- 
ber of  people  present  for  the  reunion  didn  t 
get  up  to  the  building  to  be  included  m  the 
picture. 

At  the  time  of  the  parade  the  rains  came 
and  spoiled  it  a  bit,  but  the  luncheon  at  the 
gymnasium  was  fine.  Some  of  the  folks  got 
together  in  the  Stephens  House  in  the  after- 
noon for  more  talk. 

In  the  evening  we  ■■night  clubbed"  in  the 
gymnasium.  It  was  dark  with  bubble  lights, 
and  we  had  a  good  orchestra  for  dancing. 
Many  returned  for  a  further  good  time. 

So  ended  a  beautiful  week-end,  and  so  now 
I  must  end  this  as  I've  used  my  300  word 
allowance. 

A  sad  bit  of  news  from  the  week-end  fes- 
tivities was  the  sudden  illness  of  '■Dutch" 
Maurer  at  the  Friday  evening  dinner,  but  a 
recent  note  from  "Dutch"  assures  us  that 
he  is  now  recovering.  We  all  wish  you  the 
best,  "Dutch!" 

In  my  next  letter  I'm  going  to  name  the 
people  "who  are  in  our  picture  and  others 
who  came  back.  So  sorry  I  can't  do  it  this 
time.

Thirty-five  years  is  a  life-time  to  some,  but 
it  was  only  like  yesterday  to  the  Class  of  1922 
which  had  the  distinction  to  graduate  without 
caps  and  gowns  from  the  top  floor  of  "Old 
Main."  Not  only  are  our  memories  excel- 
lent, but  there  is  a  lot  of  life  in  the  old  gang 
yet!  This  was  amply  demonstrated  as  a  week- 
end of  reuning  got  under  way  with  a  dinner 
on  Friday  evening,  June  7,  at  the  Och  .  .  . 
(who  can  spell  or  pronounce  what  we  all 
know  as  the  Milton  Country  Club).  The  fes- 
tivities were  hostessed  by  that  well-remem- 
bered duo,  Ray  Seaman  Reiner  and  Amorita 
Sesinger  Copeland,  who  had  '■practiced  up" 
so  they  could  recognize  and  greet  almost 
everyone  by  their  right  names,  all  the  way 
from  Alexander  Aloysius  Aleshouckas  (Dr.

up  till  Saturday).  Commander  Adam  Klein, 
ably  abetted  by  "Swede"  Peterson  and 
"Louie"  Stuntzner,  forsook  his  naval  dignity 
to  keep  the  party  rolling  in  high  gear.

grief,    courageously    assumed   his    usual   role

CLASS   OF    1927 


Thirty-seven  of  us  rallied  to  the  call  to  re- 
turn for  our  6th  class  reunion,  commemorat- 
ing 30  years  of  living  since  graduating  from 
Bucknell.  And  of  those  37,  there  were  only 
ten  girls  present! 

But,  rainy  as  the  day  was,  we  thoroughly 
enjoyed  our  reuning  hours  beginning  with 
our  class  meeting  presided  over  by  Harold 
Webber,  our  retiring  president.  At  this  time 
election  of  officers  for  the  next  five  years  was 
held.  Those  persons  elected  are  as  follows; 
Donald  E.  Wagner,  president;  Harold  F. 
Webber,  vice  president;  Mrs.  Helen  Egge 
Kunkel,  secretary;  Harry  S.  Ruhl,  treasurer; 
Harry  S.  Ruhl,  class  fund  manager;  Mrs. 
Grace  Pheifer  Collison,  class  reporter;  and 
Mrs.  Helen  Egge  Kunkel,  reunion  chairman.

as  toastmaster.  Pause  was  taken  to  remem- 
ber his  wife,  Betty,  and  our  departed  class- 
mates, particularly  KrX.  Gardner  and  Phil 
Campbell  whose  skill  in  arranging  previous 
reunions  will  always  be  remembered.  Bert 
Lapp  had  also  passed  from  our  midst  during 
the  preceding  few  months.  Dr.  Mark  Gass, 
assisted  by  "Doc"  Lowry,  ■■Curly"  Lawson 
and  "Red"  Carlson,  had  done  a  fine  job  of 
arrangements  and  provided  prizes  for  prac- 
tically everybody  for  everj'thing!  Darle  Davis 
was  the  hai,ds-down-winner  for  coming  the 
farthest.  Through  Mary  Park  Mertz,  Darle 
was  located  in  Cheltenham,  England,  and 
made  the  trip  just  to  be  with  us. 

Saturday's  business  meeting  re-elected  Fin- 
ley as  president,  and  elected  Ruth  Brown 
Wolfe  as  class  reporter,  and  Florence  Corn- 
well  as  class  fund  manager.  The  afternoon 
"tea  party"  brought  new  arrivals,  including 
Mary  Appleman  Walter,  "K.  P."  Haynes 
and  Corinne  MacNamara  Wilson,  with  spous- 
es. Altogether  the  three  reuning  sessions 
were  a  great  success  and,  according  to  vote, 
we  want  the  same  thing  all  over  again !

In  the  afternoon  we  met  tor  a  social  time 
as  the  guests  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Harold  Webber. 
We  were  entertained  by  campus  pictures 
shown  by  the  son  of  one  of  our  class  mem- 
bers. Bob  Dihvorth,  Jr.,  who  was  a  member 
of  this  year's  graduating  class! 

Mrs.  Helen  Egge  Kunkel  agreed  to  serve 
as  chairman  for  our  ne.xt  reunion  in  1962! 
And  before  we  can  add  too  many  more  gray 
hairs  those  five  years  will  be  history  and 
we'll  be  greeting  each  other  once  more.  So, 
it  isn't  really  too  early  to  plan  to  take  time 
oflF  from  duties  to  return  to  the  Bucknell 
campus,  100%  strong! 

In  the  meantime,  let  your  reporter  hear 
from  you  about  you  and  yours!

men. 

Jim  Stevenson,  serving  as  temporary  chair- 
man,  "railroaded"   the   election   through. 

Telegrams,  letters,  and  notes  on  returned 
questionnaires  from  absent  members  were 
read.  Henry  Coates  reported  that  he  had 
received  from  members  of  the  class  $1,315 
for  the  Alumni  Fund.     This  placed  the  class 


as  the  third  highest  of  the  classes  in  their 
giving. 

Jim  Stevenson  had  prepared  a  "Silver  An- 
niversary Yearbook,"  picturing  us  as  we 
were  in  '32,  but  stating  what  we  were  in  '57. 
Money  received  above  cost  from  the  sale  of 
these  reunion  books  and  the  "beanies"  were 
voted  into  the  class  treasurj', 

Koehler  thanked  j\Irs.  Anna  Weigold  Mus-

CLASS   OF    1937 


That  cold  and  rainy  Saturday  was  most 
unwelcome  for  reunion  activities,  but  with 
a  few  minor  adjustments  we  had  a  most 
enjoyable  week-end.  Our  class  picture,  with 
our  graying  and  balding  heads  sporting 
jaunty  green  Robin  Hood  hats,  had  to  be 
taken  inside,  and  there  was  no  parade  to 
Davis  Gymnasium  for  the  All-Alumni  Lunch- 
eon, However,  everj'thing  else  about  the 
week-end  made  for  a  happy  occasion,  from 
the  accommodations  in  the  elegant  Swartz 
Hall  to  our  pride  in  having  Tony  Vasquez 
selected  to  receive  the  Alumni  Medallion  for 
Recognition  of  Service  to  his  Fellow  Men, 
Tony  is  now  Rev.  Anthony  Vasquez  of  St, 
John's  Baptist  Church,  Philadelphia. 

After  the  general  assembly  meeting,  our 
class  met  in  the  new  Ellen  Clarke  Bertrand 
Library.  Our  faculty  host  was  Mr.  Howard 
Kieft,  in  charge  of  psychological  testing  for 
the  University.  In  the  absence  of  Dr. 
George  W.  Crousc,  Vice  President  Herb 
Watson  presided  over  a  very  infcirm.il  busi- 
ness meeting. 

The  officers  elected  for  the  next  five  years 
are:  I'.  Herbert  Watson,  president;  Rev. 
Thomas  15.  Richards,  vice  president;  Rulli 
Van  Leuven  Elconjc,  secretary;  Kev,  Clinton 
Condict,  treasurer;  Charles  O,  Morris,  class 
fund  manaKcr;  Mabel  .N'yiund  Ziegler,  class 
reporter;  and  Willard  ]).  Ziiniiicnn.iri,  re- 
union chairman. 


We  were  all  saddened  by  the  untimely 
death  of  John  Worth,  our  20th  anniversary 
chairman,  who  had  worked  so  diligently  on 
plans  for  the  week-end.  The  unfinished  de- 
tails of  our  get-together  were  completed  by 
Willard  Zimmerman,  Sig  Stoler,  and  Leigh 
Herman.  They  deserve  our  appreciation  for 
taking  over  a  difficult  job. 

An  unofficial  count  of  noses  revealed  that 
36  members  of  '37  made  it  back  to  the  camp- 
us. They  came  from  near  (like  Mary  Crabb 
Brouse  of  Lewisl)urg,  Sig  Stoler  and  Willard 
Zimmerman  of  Sunbury)  and  far  (like  the 
Charlie  Vogels  of  Michigan  and  Ruth  Ortt 
Slick  and  her  husband  of  Indiana),  They 
came  singly  (like  Dr.  Ed  Hartmann.  one  of 
the  few  bachelors  left  in  the  class),  but  a 
surprising  number  came  complete  with  spous- 
es and  families. 

To  those  of  you  who  came  back:  Thank 
you  for  helping  to  make  the  week-end  a  good 
old  get-acquainlcd-again  session.  To  the  rest 
of  you,  decide  now  to  be  on  hand  for  our 
25th.  But  a  word  of  warning!  I'ick  up  one 
of  those  maps  of  the  campus  when  you  ar- 
rive. All  those  l)right,  shining,  bcuitiful  new 
buildings  make  gelling  around  a  hit  con- 
fusing. 

If  you  waul  the  latest  news  of  '37,  send 
$2,00  to  the  Alumni  Office  for  a  ropy  of  the 
reunion  book.  There  arc  a  few  left  and  first 
come,  first  served,

CLASS  OF    1942 


Wonderful  memories  of  our  fifteenth  Re- 
union—tlie  clock  on  Old  Main  cheerfully 
bonging  at  all  hours  of  the  night;  happy 
shouts  on  the  campus  of  new  arrivals;  audi- 
ble puffing  of  all  of  us  after  climbing  the 
four  flights  of  stairs  to  our  rooms  in  East 
Wing  for  what  seemed  about  the  millionth 
time  that  week-end;  a  few  more  bald  heads; 
a  lot  more  gray  heads;  the  fellows  being 
much  more  distinguished  looking;  very  little 
extra  weight;  and  the  remarkable  fact  that 
we  felt  that  nearly  everyone  looked  almost 
the  same  as  they  had  fifteen  years  ago! 

President  Bob  Puff  who  has  done  a  won- 
derful job  in  the  last  five  years,  presided  at 
the  Saturday  morning  business  meeting  and 
held  the  election  of  new  officers.  Serving 
for  the  next  five  years  will  be  Bud  Eisaman, 
president;  Bud  Lewis,  vice  president;  Bud 
Vanderbilt,  secretary-treasurer;  Art  Denny, 
class  fund  manager;  and  Gerrie  Pepperman 
Dietz,  class  reporter. 

Les  Ehringer  presented  the  wonderful  re- 
union book  which  had  been  compiled  by  him, 
along  with  some  able  assistants.  Our  pic- 
ture was  scheduled  for  out-of-doors,  but  be- 


cause of  the  typical  Bucknell  weather  on  any 
special  occasion,  we  had  it  taken  in  the  Lit 
Lounge. 

Colorful  coolie  hats  with  1942  written 
across  the  front  ribbon  were  the  envy  of  the 
other  classes.  Bill  Bowen  did  a  good  job 
on  picking  them  and  making  arrangements 
for  us  to  use  the  facilities  of  the  Milton 
Country  Club  during  the  late  afternoon  and 
early  evening.  Some  of  us  went  over  there 
after  the  All-Alumni  Luncheon  in  the  Gym, 
stayed  for  dinner,  and  had  a  wonderful  time. 
Others  went  to  Cowan  to  see  the  improve- 
ments there.  The  evening  found  us  at  Davis 
Gym  for  entertainment  and  dancing  and 
more  chances  to  say  "What  are  you  doing 
now?"  "How  many  children  do  you  have?" 
and  "It's  so  good  to  see  you  again." 

Start  thinking  about  that  20th  Reunion 
now!  Those  of  us  who  were  able  to  make 
the  15th  wouldn't  miss  it  for  the  world.  And 
don't  forget  Homecoming,  Oct.  19 — we'll  be 
looking  for  the  biggest  representation  of  the 
Class  of  '42  ever  seen  at  Bucknell!

CLASS   OF    1947 


True  to  the  threats  that  had  been  circulat- 
ing, the  Class  of  1947  went  through  with  it 
and  did  reune  in  the  grand  manner  Satur- 
day, June  8.  Go  ahead — ask  anyone  who  was 
there.  We  counted  43  class  members,  plus 
21  spouses  who  came  along.  Things  could 
not  have  been  finer. 

Somewhere  around  10:30  a.  m.,  we  assem- 
bled in  the  Lit  Building  library.  (One  point 
of  view  was  that  most  of  the  fellows  have 
"changed"  variously:  waist  lines  out,  hairlines 
back,  etc.  On  the  other  hand,  the  appear- 
ance la  femme  was  wonderful,  one  and  all. 
Too  bad  about  the  men). 

Many  class  spouses  came  along  to  the 
assembly.  The  pleasure  of  reuniting  the 
group  is  hard  to  convey  in  words.  President 
Tom  Quigley  with  aplomb  handled  matters

was  had.  That  evening  went  for  renewing 
friendships  at  the  dance  in  Davis  Gym,  and 
at  various  Greek  gatherings  hither  and  yon. 
Present  for  either  or  both  of  the  daytime 
gatherings  were:  Nancy  Grimm  Derkacz  and 
husband  John  '46,  Lynn  Miner  Lawson  and 
Larry  '48,  Curt  Clump  and  Marion,  Milton 
G.  Jaques,  Gratia  Henry  Murphy,  Jean  jMc-

smoothly,  and  it  was  hard  to  realize  that  sud- 
denly it  was  10  years  later.  We  went  through 
the  motions  of  re-electing  our  "line"  officers: 
Tom  as  president;  Lorraine  Kress  Krantz, 
vice  president;  Gloria  Child  Goelz,  secretary; 
Lois  Miller  Fullerton,  treasurer.  June  Stott 
Matthews  was  elected  Class  Fund  Manager, 
and  now  promises  to  write  from  Rhode  Is- 
land. 

After  the  Alumni  Luncheon,  attended  by 
the  class  in  a  group,  we  adjourned  to  the 
lounge  of  the  Lewisburger  for  an  informal 
reception  and  confab  that  ran  till  about  4:30 
p.  m. 

Saturday  evening,  23  of  the  group  went 
together  to  dinner  at  the  Hotel  Edison  in 
Sunbury.  It  was  one  of  those  spontaneous 
affairs  that  worked  out  beautifully.    Fine  time 


The  week-end  of  June  8,  1957,  was  a  big 
one  for  the  Class  of  1952 — our  very  first  offi- 
cial reunion.  We  wouldn't  have  felt  at  home 
without  a  little  rain  in  Lewisburg,  so,  ob- 
ligingly, it  rained;  we  felt  at  home.

seeing  everyone  again.  As  reunion  chairman, 
Aiigie  St.  John  presided  at  the  business  meet-

new  officers  are  as  follows:  president.  Hugh

Their  addresses  are  included  so  that  you 
will  be  sure  to  write  if  you  have  any  sug- 
gestions for  reunions,  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALL'MNUS,  money-raising,  etc. 

We  had  our  pictures  taken  in  black  derljies 
and  bought  books  which  were  compiled  from 
the  questionnaires  everyone  returned. 


After  a  good  lunch  in  the  gym  and  a  long- 
ing glance  at  the  beautiful  new  pool,  the 
52'ers  made  their  way  to  the  reception  at 
Carey  House.  We  would  never  have  recog- 
nized it — the  old  music  school. 

If  you  were  there,  you  saw  Carolyn  Knies 
Erdle  with  her  oldest  little  girl,  and  Chris 
and  Dick  Swavely  with  theirs.  We  girls  de- 
cided that  we  all  look  exactly  the  same  as 
we  did  in  college,  but  not  the  fellows!  They 
look  older!  At  least,  we  did  spot  some  re- 
ceding hairlines. 

Besides  seeing  friends,  everyone  had  fun 
looking  at  al!  the  new  buildings,  the  redecora- 
tion  jobs,  and  the  same  old  hills.  If  you 
weren't  able  to  come  this  year,  and  to  appre- 
ciate all  Augie's  hard  work  at  making  a 
reunion  lively,  we  hope  you  will  come  to  the 
next  one,  June  1962.  Plan  on  attending  now!

A  small  but  "glad  to  be  back"  percentage 
of  the  Class  of  1956  returned  for  its  first 
reunion  on  the  Bucknell  campus.  June  8,  1957. 
Sporting  red  firemen  hats  as  identification, 
about  twenty-five  'S6ers  attended  the  Satur- 
day activities. 

At  tin-  morning  business  meeting  in  the 
Olin  Science  Building,  Harry  Lawrence  act- 
ed as  faculty  host.  Lydia  Tiemann  was  ap-

ficers (those  elected  prior  to  graduation) 
were  re-elected.  Runion  books  containing 
names,  addresses  and  interesting  details  about

A  distinguished  career  came  to  an  end 
with  the  death  of  Mrs.  Anne  Gilchrist 
Strong  '99  on  June  23,  1957,  at  Dunedin, 
New  Zealand.  Professor  Strong,  whose 
career  was  reported  in  the  March.  1955, 
issue  of  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS 
was,  at  the  time  of  her  death,  Dean  Emeri- 
tus of  the  School  of  Home  Science  of  the 
University  of  Otago  in  Dunedin.  Born  in 
Illinois  in  1875,  Mrs.  Strong  had  taught 
in  a  number  of  American  universities  and 
in  India  and  New  Zealand.  She  was 
granted  the  order  of  the  British  Empire

Frank  Burpee  had  a  fall  the  last  of 
March  which  kept  him  hospitalized  for 
seven  weeks.  Shortly  after  getting  about 
again,  he  suffered  another  fall  which 
broke  his  left  arm,  and  sent  him  back  to 
the  hospital  for  three  weeks.  We  are  glad 
he  is  now  able  to  be  about  the  town  and 
campus  as  usual. 

Raymond  Pierson  too  has  had  his  turn 
under  the  medics'  hands  and  has  been 
warned  to  "take  it  easy."  He  has  had  to 
cancel  several  preaching  engagements  be- 
cause of  illness.  With  Mrs.  Pierson  he 
has  been  visiting  their  son  at  State  Col- 
lege; they  expect  to  be  back  at  Daytona 
Beach  in  September. 

Mabel  Grier  Lesher  has  been  spending 
the  summer  at  her  home  in  Lewisburg. 
Her  daughter  Mabel  has  visited  her.  Dr. 
Lesher  is  a  bureau  of  information  for  our 
class.  We  regret  that  she  has  resigned 
her  work  as  Class  Fund  Manager  in  which 
she  had  marvelous  success  last  year. 
Charley  Bidelspacher,  716  Market  St.,  Wil- 
liamsport,  has  agreed  to  take  her  place. 

1901  is  interested  in  promotion  of  the 
early  erection  of  a  University  Chapel  and 
it  is  heartening  to  report  that  twelve  of  its

this  purpose  in  the  past  year.

winter,  in  keeping  with  his  life  of  service 
to  his  fellowmen,  he  gave  many  hours  of 
service  in  the  Memorial  Hospital,  Maiden, 
Mass.,  as  an  operating  room  orderly.  And 
he  considers  himself  retired! 

Max  Lieberman  passed  away  March  17. 
Our  sympathy  is  extended  to  his  family. 

On  June  23  another  member  of  our 
class,  Helen  Forrest  Hershey  died  at  a 
hospital  in  Wayne.     Helen  had  made  her 


home  at  Blue  Ridge  Summit.  She  was  a 
native  of  Lewisburg  and  over  the  years 
made  frequent  visits  with  her  many 
friends  here. 

All  Bucknellians  grieve  over  the  sud- 
den death  of  Joe  Henderson.  We  of  the 
Class  of  1908  have  lost  our  youngest  mem- 
ber. With  all  the  wider  interests  and 
responsibilities  of  his  Bucknell  relation- 
ship, Joe  always  had  time  and  intense 
enthusiasm  for  our  class  activities.  Our 
deepest  sympathy  goes  out  to  his  wife 
and  son.

in  Sunbury.  He  was  married  to  the  for- 
mer Helen  L.  Heim  and  spent  his  entire 
life  in  business  in  Sunbury,  where  he  was 
active  in  church.  Masonic,  and  civic  af- 
fairs. He  is  survived  by  his  wife  and  sev- 
eral children,  including  Mrs.  Charles  A. 
Gass  (Dorothy  H.  Druckemiller  '34),  and 
Dr.  William  H.  Druckemiller  '35.  Our 
sympathy   is   extended  to   his  family. 

Mary  Slawson  died  April  16,  following 
a  long  illness.  She  had  taught  school  a 
short  time,  then  continued  with  the  store

Priscilla  Hardesty  Thompson,  Eva 
Weddle,  John  Bank,  Phares  Hertzog  and 
your  correspondent  were  in  Lewisburg 
for  Alumni  Day  in  June  and  enjoyed 
meeting  old  friends  and  attending  the  vari- 
ous alumni  meetings  that  day.  For  Pris- 
cilla Thompson  it  was  a  special  occasion 
for  just   50  years  ago  she  was  graduated 


from    the    Bucknell    School    of    Music    to 
which  she  returned  as  a  teacher  in  1917.

Herman  E.  Zehner  died  on  July  5,  fol- 
lowing a  heart  attack  on  June  29.  He  was 
superintendent  of  the  dynamite  plant  of 
the  National  Powder  Co.,  at  Eldred,  and 
had  been  active  in  Rotary,  church,  and 
community  affairs  up  to  the  time  he  was 
stricken.  Popularly  known  as  "Whitey" 
in  college  days,  Herman  was  topnotch  as 
both  a  student  and  an  athlete,  lettering  in 
football,  basketball,  and  baseball.  He  was 
a  friend  of  and  to  all.  Our  sympathy  is 
extended  to  his  wife  and  daughter. 

E.xplaining  change  of  address  to  Nor- 
ristown,  Weston  Smith  (Rev.  H.  G.  W.) 
writes:  "Yes,  I  have  retired.  I  still  preach 
once  in  a  while,  but  am  apparently  be- 
yond the  possibility  of  any  serious  work. 
The  church  here,  on  our  return  after  20 
years  absence,  voted  unanimously  to  make 
me  Emeritus.  This  was  gracious  and  we 
try  to  be  of  a  little  value.  Wish  we  could 
mingle  with  the  commencement  throngs, 
but  for  the  present  at  least  throngs  are 
not  too  good  for  us."  The  church  is  Cal- 
vary Baptist.  On  retirement  from  his 
pastorate  in  Bedford,  Ohio,  the  Times-Regis- 
ter of  that  city  commended  his  seven  years 
there.  It  told  of  his  authorship  of  the 
book.  The  Pastor  at  Work  in  Christian 
Education,  mentioned  his  former  pastorates 
in  Norristown,  Detroit,  and  New  York  City, 
also  his  four  years  in  National  Secretarial 
Work  with  the  Baptist  Convention.  In 
Bedford,  Dr.  Smith  wrote  a  weekly  news- 
paper column,  "Ask  the  Man  in  the  House," 
a  series  of  articles  which  undertook  to  an- 
swer questions  sent  in  by  readers  and  which 
dealt  with  a  variety  of  types.  In  his  senior 
year  at  Bucknell.  Weston  was  instrumental 
in  founding  the  Bucknell  chapter  of  Lambda 
Chi  Alpha,  a  nationalization  of  the  then  local 
Alpha  Sigma  fraternity.  Best  wishes  for  im- 
proving health  and  for  your  retirement  years 
from  all  classmates,  Weston. 

Present  on  the  McClure  veranda  on 
Friday  evening,  June  7,  were  F.  R.  H. 
Richards,  Bright  Beck,  Howard  Fisher, 
Jim  McClure,  Jack  Bogert,  Harold  Shaf- 
fer, Paul  (Pud)  Stein,  Charlie  Sanders. 
Besides  these  were  Mrs.  Richards,  Mrs. 
Beck,  Mrs.  Fisher,  Mrs.  McClure.  Joining 
us  was  a  welcomed  pal,  classmate  for  three 
years.  Lew  Robinson.  It  was  good  to 
have  him  with  us.  Finishing  his  college 
course  in  three  years,  Lew  graduated  with 
the  Class  of  '12  so  that  he  was  on  campus 
for  his  45th.  Mrs.  Hawkins  (Marian  Har- 
man)  also  spent  a  few  moments  with  us, 
her  husband,  Orwill,  being  occupied  with 
activities  as  a  trustee. 

Looking  ahead.  Rev.  Richard  H.  (Dick) 
Bowling,  wrote  to  Marwood  Glover:  "May 
we  all  plan  for  next  year's  reunion  of 
hearts  and  minds."  And  Bob  Rooke's  sec- 
retary mentioned  that  "Mr.  Rooke  hopes 
to  be  able  to  attend  next  year's  reunion." 
So  here  is  a  beginner  of  two  classmates  al- 
ready planning  one  whole  year  previous, 
but  time  passes  fast  and  suggests  no  delay. 

This  year  two  of  our  number  were  va- 
cationing in  Europe  in  June,  Berk  Hast- 
ings and  Bob  Rooke.  Such  sojourning 
could  be  permitted  this  year  but  surely 
not  ne.xt  when  we  gather  fo.'  the  45th. 

Sympathy  of  the  class  i.^  extended  to 
Mrs.  Joseph  W.  Hendersc  n  (Anne  K. 
Dresbach  110)  in  the  death  of  her  husband 
on  July  25.

and    Swiss    music.      (To   be   continued    in 
the  November  issue). 


We  have  recently  returned  from  a  Euro- 
pean trip.  Since  I  have  no  news  of  any 
members  of  our  Class,  my  husband,  Harry 
B.  Weaver,  also  '14  and  I,  think  the  read- 
ers of  our  column  might  find  the  follow- 
ing story  interesting. 

Xow.  how  about  a  story  from  you?  We 
are  all  interested  in  what  you  have  been 
doing,  so  take  your  pen  in  hand  and . 

Deadline  date  for  material,  ne.xt  issue. 
September  26.  May  the  Weaver  mail  flood 
the  X'ew  Kensington  post  ofiice! 

On  May  29,  Harry  and  I  boarded  the 
Queen  Elizabeth  to  begin  our  first  Euro- 
pean tour.  We  enjoyed  a  smooth,  delight- 
ful voyage.  With  many  interesting  fel- 
low-passengers, we  participated  in  the 
varied  activities  on  board.  This  included 
pari-mutuel  betting  in  which  I  won  thir- 
teen shillings. 

On  June  3,  we  disembarked  at  Cher- 
bourg and  took  the  boat  train  to  Paris. 
The  trip  through  Normandy  was  delight- 
ful, though  a  bit  late  for  "apple-blossom 
time."  In  Paris,  we  were  met  by  the  first 
of  many  couriers  from  Cook's — the  agency 
which  planned  our  trip  for  us.  Our  five 
days  in  Paris  included  the  usual  sight- 
seeing trips:  Versailles,  Malmaison,  tour 
of  Paris,  and  the  Folies-Bergere. 

We  left  Paris  on  the  Mistral  train  for 
Nice  and  spent  two  days  along  the  Medi- 
terranean, enjoying  the  resort  atmosphere 
of  the  South  of  France.  Leaving  Nice  by 
CIAT  bus.  we  travelled  along  the  French 
and  Italian  Rivieras.  This  beautiful  trip 
included  a  forty  mile  expanse  of  flowers, 
grown  for  the  perfume  factories  at  Grasse. 

After  a  day  in  heavily  industralized 
Genoa,  we  went  on  by  train  to  Venice, 
where  a  gondola  "taxi"  took  us  to  our 
hotel.  Our  hotel  balcony  in  Venice  was 
hard  to  leave;  it  overlooked  the  Grand 
Canal  where  every  evening  singing  gon- 
doliers passed  by  in  their  brightly  lighted 
gondolas.  Beyond  that,  the  moon  shone 
on  the  Adriatic.  Here  we  spent  our  thirty- 
ninth  wedding  anniversary,  serenaded  by 
gondoliers  and  shopping  in  St.  Mark's 
Square. 

En  route  to  Switzerland,  we  stopped  in 
.Milan  where  we  visited  La  Scala.  and 
viewed  THE  LAST  SUPPER  in  one  of 
the  cathedrals.  Milan's  American  appear- 
ance, we  learned,  is  a  result  of  post-World 
War  II  re-building  programs:  war-dam- 
aged buildings  have  been  replaced  by  mod- 
ern structures.  At  the  Italian-Swiss  bor- 
der we  stayed  for  a  day  at  Cernobbio's 
Villa  d'Este  on  Lake  Como,  a  beautiful 
-•.uin-ner  resort.  Near  this  town,  Mussolini 
was  cai-'.  tred  while  attempting  to  flee  to 
Switzerlan.I. 

Our  itinerary  in  Switzerland  included 
Geneva,  Interlakcn.  and  Lucerne.  Our 
journey  from  Strcsa  to  Geneva  was  our 
first  taste  of  the  snow-capped  Alps,  the 
many  hiKh  waterfalls,  and  the  quaint  vil- 
lages dotting  the  steep  hillsides.  In 
Geneva,  we  were  dinner  guests  of  the  In- 
ternational Y.  M.  C.  A,  Secretary,  a  friend 
for  many  years.  Leaving  Geneva  by  boat, 
we  crossed  Lake  Geneva  to  .Montreux 
where  we  boarded  a  train  for  Interlakcn. 
Our  room  in  the  Vicloria-Jungfrau  Hotel 
at  Intcrlaken  faced  the  Jungfrau.  Our  slay 
in  Interlakcn  included  a  trip  to  the  top 
of  the  Jungfrau  and  browsing  in  the  iTiany 
interesting  shops.  IJy  governnienl -owned 
bus,  we  then  went  on  a  thrilling  ride 
through  the  heart  of  the  Alps  to  I^ucerne, 
by  way  of  Grimscl  and  Furka  Passes  and 
the  Rhone  Glacier.  In  Lucerne  we  at- 
tended a  program  of  yodelinK.  folk  dances.

REV.   ERIC  A.  OESTERLB 
U4  E.  188th  St. 
New  York,  N.  Y. 


As  I  write  these  notes  I  am  getting 
ready  to  go  to  Maine  where  I  will  direct 
a  boy's  camp  at  Ocean  Park  called  the 
Royal  Ambassadors  Camp  for  Boys,  now 
in  its  31st  year.  How  I  will  survive  it  I 
do  not  know.  They  got  in  a  "tight,"  as 
the}'  say  in  Georgia,  and  had  to  call  up 
the  reserves.  Those  ten  years,  long  ago, 
which  I  put  in  at  this  site  found  me  more 
agile  and  flexible  than  I  am  today.  My 
old  sidekick,  Tilton,  used  to  go  up  there 
but  they  won't  take  him  now  because  of 
his  long  white  beard.  And  while  I  am 
being  so  personal  let  me  tell  you  that  Billy 
Graham  has  been  kicking  the  hell  out  of 
the  Devil  at  Madison  Square  Garden  like 
nobody's  business  the  past  few  weeks  and 
I  have  been  there  to  see  him  do  it.  While 
he  does  the  job  you  get  the  same  sadistic 
feeling  you  had  in  college  days  when  you 
were  putting  the  paddle  to  some  smart 
freshman.  I  was  one  of  the  100,000  jam- 
ming the  Yankee  Stadium  last  >  Saturday 
to  hear  the  great  Gospel  Preacher.  Made 
me  think  of  the  time  back  in  our  era 
when  a  bunch  of  us  went  to  hear  Billy 
Sundaj'  at  Wilkes-Barre.  Even  Louie 
Lyne  '14  went  back  to  the  campus  to  be- 
have himself  after  that  safari.  But  only 
for  a  spell! 

Our  Mary  Ellen  '42  got  back  to  the 
campus  last  June  so  Helen  and  I  had  to 
take  care  of  her  little  four-year-old  Nancy. 
She  came  back  with  glowing  accounts  of 
her  15th  re-union. 

Sam  Davenport  writes:  "You  asked  for 
it.  Wife  and  three  children  living.  All 
three  children  attended  Bucknell.  Oldest 
Bill  '51,  a  special  agent  for  Aetna  Casualty 
in  Pittsburgh.  He  has  a  boy  and  girl 
which  makes  me  twice  a  Grandpa.  Middle 
child  Sam  '53  is  an  instructor  at  Fort  Sam 
Houston,  Te.xas.  Barbara  '54  is  teaching 
in  .'Mlentown.  Was  married  last  August. 
I  am  chief  of  the  first  surgical  section  of 
the  Nesbitt  Memorial  Hospital  and  will 
retire  from  the  active  staff  in  January  on 
account  of  age.  Will  continue  as  emeritus 
member.  Am  immediate  past  president  of 
the  Wilkes-Barre  Kiwanis  Club.  Am  a 
member  of  the  Board  and  College  Physi- 
cian to  Wilkes-Barre  College,  and  a  fel- 
low of  the  Industrial  Medical  Association. 
Guess  that  slaps  my  back  enough  for  this 
time.  Remember  '61  and  get  your  cane." 
Everyl)ody  talks  about  retiring. 

Mary  Langley  Jones  Carlson  writes:  "I 
did  appreciate  your  letter.  There  isn't 
much  that  I  can  tell  you  which  would  be 
worth  printing.  I  do  have  the  most  won- 
derful husband  possible  and  we  do  live 
an  ideal  life.  We  retired  si.x  years  ago 
and  spend  six  months  each  year  by  the 
ocean  in  beautiful  Palm  Beach  at  115 
Gulfstream  Road,  and  six  months  on  the 
shores  of  Keoka  Lake  in  the  foothills  of 
the  White  Mountains  at  Hummingbird 
Hill,  Waterford,  Maine.  Recently  Dr. 
Carlson  and  1  attended  a  parly  in  Palm 
Beach  given  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Brown 
(Ted  '15).  The  Pauls  (Helen  Jenkins  '16 
and  Harry  '17)  the  Rookes  (Bob  'l.^i  .nid 
the  Klines   (Bing  '\'J)   also  attended." 

Thanks  Mary.  You  at  last  unearthed 
"Jenks"  whom  I  have  not  beeji  able  to 
prod  to  pen  and  pencil.  Lois  Reynolds 
challenges  you  aboiK   husband.     Riad  (jii. 

And  this  from  Lois  Reynolds  Carpenter: 
"I  appreciaterl  your  jitter  ;iiid  fully  .igrcc

The  Lord  has  been  very  good  to  me.  I 
have  the  best  husband  in  the  world — in 
the  insurance  business.  We  have  three 
children.  Our  oldest  son,  Keese,  lives  at 
home  and  helps  his  father  in  the  business. 
"Our  second  son,  John,  is  in  his  second 
year  at  Faith  Theological  Seminary  in 
Philadelphia,  preparing  for  the  mission 
field.  Lydia,  our  only  daughter,  is  a  jun- 
ior at  Providence  Barrington  Bible  Col- 
lege from  which  John  was  graduated  two 
years  ago.  We  get  great  comfort  and 
enjoyment  in  them.  Best  wishes."  Preach- 
er that  I  am  makes  me  proud  with  you 
Lois. 

Well  that  winds  it  up.  Now  let  me  prod 
you  once  more  to  write  as  have  these,  your 
classmates.  You  make  the  column.  I 
just  put  the  parts  together.

Claude  O.  Boothroyd  is  still  busy  with 
the  building  of  a  steam  plant  for  Carbide, 
Carbon  Chemical  Co.,  near  Charleston,  W. 
Va.  He  is  with  the  engineering  firm  of 
Gannett,  Fleming,  Corddry,  and  Carpen- 
ter of  Harrisburg,  and  has  his  home  in 
that  city. 

Samuel  D.  Lenox,  Esq.,  of  Trenton,  N. 
J.,  has  been  named  by  Governor  Meyner 
as  one  of  a  ten-member  committee  to 
study  the  speeding  of  appeal  procedure 
in  workmen  compensation  cases.  The 
committee  will  hold  public  hearings  in 
addition  to  consulting  with  the  bench  and 
bar,  labor,  industry  and  insurance  repre- 
sentatives, and  hopes  to  have  a  report 
ready  for  the  governor  in  September. 

Joseph  S.  Lepley  has  retired  after  42 
years  in  the  teaching  field,  30  of  which 
were  spent  in  Williamsport. 

Mrs.  Anna  M.  Beatty  died  at  the  home 
of  her  son-in-law  and  daughter,  Rev.  and 
Mrs.  Morris  M.  Derr  (Mary  Beatty)  in 
Covington,  Ky.,  April  21,  1957.  Mrs. 
Beatty  was  a  loyal  friend  of  numerous 
Bucknell  girls  during  the  many  years  that 
she  served  as  a  house  mother  on  the 
campus.  Our  sympathy  is  extended  to 
her  family. 

At  this  point,  deadline  for  material  for 
the  September  issue  of  the  ALUMNUS, 
I  am  in  complete  state  of  confusion,  so  I 
guess  I  will  have  to  talk  about  myself. 
By  the  time  the  article  reaches  my  readers 
I  will,  I  hope,  have  changed  my  address 
to  10  North  Loyalsock  Avenue,  Montours- 
ville. The  change  of  address  is  the  im- 
portant thing  since  we  are  moving  our 
house,  built  in  1833,  from  its  present  lo- 
cation facing  Broad  Street,  to  a  new  lo- 
cation, about  half  way  back  on  the  lot 
and  facing  the  Avenue,  It  is  quite  an 
undertaking,  and,  as  one  can  imagine 
causing  quite  a  lot  of  conversation  in  the 
town.  Can  it  be  done?  Are  you  going 
to  move  the  whole  house?  Where  are  you 
going  to  live  wliile  it  is  being  moved?  and 
countless  more.  Knowing  no  more  about 
the  mechanics  of  moving  the  house  than 
the  other  fellow,  1  have  been  having  (|uite 
a  time.  And  we  expect  to  stay  in  the 
house  while  it  is  being  moved.  You  may 
expect  to  hear  the  final  details  in  our  next 
issue, 

It  may  be  of  interest  to  many  Buck- 
nellians  to  know  that  the  house  in  ques- 
tion was  built  by  Joseph  Henderson's 
COH)  great  grandfaiher.  Cornelia,  the

you  have  any  ideas,  send  them  on  and  I

As  this  report  goes  to  press,  most  of  us 
are  in  the  throes  of  summertime  activities 
and  vacations.  We  have  probably  joined 
the  75  million  Americans  who  have 
packed  their  children  into  the  family  car 
or  station  wagon  and  hit  the  road.  By 
the  time  the  ALUMNUS  reaches  you,  the 


children  will  be  back  in  school  and  we 
will  be  asking  ourselves,  "Where  did  the 
summer  go?" 

Two  members  of  our  class  had  very 
interesting  trips. 

Dr.  and  Mrs.  Harold  Evans  (Helen 
Showalter  '34)  and  daughter.  Sue,  Mifflin- 
burg,  had  an  extended  vacation  on  the 
West  Coast,  making  the  trip  as  passengers 
on  the  S.  S.  Matsenia,  which  was  making" 
its  maiden  voyage  following  formal  chris- 
tening in  New  York  harbor  on  May  22. 
Harold  and  Helen  were  present  for  the 
christening  ceremony  in  which  Mrs.  Neal 
Blaisdell,  wife  of  the  mayor  of  Honolulu,

Joseph  D.  Dent,  Trustee,  Dies 

Joseph  D.  Dent,  66,  Maplewood,  N.  J., 
died  suddenly  on  Wednesday,  June  19. 
He  had  suffered  a  stroke  about  eight 
months  ago  and  was  almost  recovered 
from  its  'effects  when  he  was  again 
stricken  and  died  a  few  hours  after  ad- 
mission to  a  hospital. 

Joe  was  born  in  Durham,  England,  and 
was  graduated  from  Bucknell  in  1920.  His 
studies  at  the  University  were  interrupted 
during  World  War  I  when  he  served  for 
Zyi  years  in  the  Army,  being  discharged 
with  the  rank  of  First  Lieutenant. 

Two  weeks  after  leaving  Bucknell  he 
joined  the  Guaranty  Trust  Company  of 
New  York  which  he  served  for  37  years 
until  May  1956,  retiring  as  vice  president 
of  the  Guaranty  Trust  Company  and  vice 
president  of  the  Guaranty  Safe  Deposit 
Company. 

Always  an  active  worker  on  behalf  of 
the  University  and  the  General  Alumni 
Association,  Joe  was  serving  his  seventh 
year  as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees and  just  nine  days  before  his  death 
was  on  the  campus  to  receive  from  his 
Alma  Mater  the  honorary  degree  of  Doc- 
tor of  Laws.  Dr.  Dent  was  particularly 
conscious  of  the  financial  needs  of  the 
University  and  in  addition  to  playing  an 
important  role  in  all  fund  raising  activities, 
he  made  special  efforts  to  obtain  the  gift 
which  made  possible  the  building  of  the 
Ellen  Clark  Bertrand  Library  in  1952  and 
obtained  substantial  gifts  for  the  con- 
struction of  the  Swartz  Residence  Hall  for 
Men  and  the  John  Houghton  Harris  Cafe- 
teria. 

An  active  participant  in  athletics,  Joe 
was  for  many  years  a  member  of  the 
Athletic  Council  and  the  Athletic  Advis- 
ory Committee.  He  had  just  been  re- 
elected vice  president  of  the  Bison  Club. 
Long  a  leader  in  alumni  club  activities  in 
the  New  York  area,  he  had  served  as  an 
officer  of  the  Metropolitan  Alumni  Club 
on  many  occasions.  He  was  a  member  of 
Sigma  Chi  fraternity. 

The  heartfelt  sympathies  of  the  Class 
of  1920  and  Bucknellians  everywhere  are 

26 


extended  to  his  wife,  the  former  Edith 
Crane  '18,  two  daughters,  Constance  Dent 
'45,  and  Jane  Crane  Dent;  and  two  broth- 
ers, Edward  Dent,  Lake  Park,  Fla.,  and 
William  J.  Dent,  Pittsburgh. 

Joe's  love  for  Bucknell,  his  enthusiasm 
and  love  of  people,  have  been  invaluable 
to  the  progress  and  welfare  of  his  Alma 
Mater. 


John  F.  Worth  '37 
Dies  Unexpectedly 

Bucknell  lost  one  of  its  most  loyal  and 
energetic  sons  in  the  death  of  John  F. 
Worth  '37  on  May  15,  1957.  John  had 
a  loyal  and  unfailing  interest  in  all  phases 
of  Bucknell  life  and  alumni  activities. 

He  was  born  in  Jermyn  on  December 
30,  1915,  graduating  with  a  bachelor  of 
arts  degree  from  Bucknell  in  1937,  was 
awarded  the  master  of  arts  degree  by 
Bucknell  in  1938  and  had  completed  aca- 
demic work  toward  a  Doctor  of  Philosophy 
degree  in  public  administration  at  Ameri- 
can University  in  Washington,  D.  C.  He 
was  a  member  of  Kappa  Delta  Rho,  Kap- 
pa Phi  Kappa,  and  Pi  Mu  Epsilon.  His 
professional  career  included,  besides  ser- 
vice in  the  U.  S.  Navy  in  World  War  II, 
assignments  in  the  U.  S.  Civil  Service 
Commission,  the  office  of  the  Secretary  of 
the  Navy  Department  and  since  1952,  ad- 
ministrative assistant,  division  of  produc- 
tion, of  the  U.  S.  Atomic  Energy  Com- 
mission. 

John's  activities  on  behalf  of  Buck- 
nell University  and  its  General  Alumni 
Association  covered  a  wide  range  of  ser- 
vice. An  originator  of  the  Bucknell 
Alumni  Fund,  he  introduced  the  idea  to 
the  Washington  Club  in  1945  and  after 
endorsement  by  that  club,  he  suggested 
establishment  of  an  Alumni  Fund  to  the 
General  Alumni  Association  in  the  same 
year.  His  further  activities  are  perhaps 
best  expressed  in  the  memorial  resolution 
adopted  by  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of

Washington    following    his    death    reads    as 
follows : 

"On  May  IS,  1957,  one  of  Bucknell's  most  devoted 
sons,  John  F.  Worth  '37,  passed  away  unexpected^ 
ly.  John's  presence  will  be  sorely  missed  by  the 
General  Alumni  Association  and  specifically  the 
Alumni  Club  of  the  District  of  Columbia.  Here  was 
a  man  with  unparalleled  dedication  to  Bucknell 
University.  Whenever  there  was  a  responsibility 
to  assume  for  the  school  whether  it  be  organizing 
and  directing  the  personal  solicitation  drive,  serv- 
ing as  President  of  the  local  Alum,ni  Club,  or  ful- 
filling an  assignment  on  the  General  Alumni  Board, 
John  seemed  to  rejoice  in  having  the  opportunity 
to  render  a  service  to  his  beloved.  University.  The 
welfare  of  Bucknell  was  a  singular  concern  of  his 
and  he  worked  tirelessly  and  enthusiastically  in  its 
behalf.  The  Bucknellians  in  the  Washington, 
D.  C,  area  will  always  cherish  the  memory  of 
John   Worth." 

At  the  time  of  his  death,  John  was  serv- 
ing as  reunion  chairman  of  his  Bucknell 
Class  of  1937  and  was  in  the  midst  of  pre- 
paring the  reunion  book.  The  50-page 
anniversary  volume  was  distributed  to 
classmates  Alumni  Week-end  in  June. 

Because  of  his  intense  interest  and  de- 
votion to  Bucknell  and  all  her  causes,  John 
had  expressed  a  desire  to  be  buried  in 
Lewisburg,  and  on  May  18.  he  rested  in 
a  spot  in  the  Lewisburg  cemetery  over- 
looking the  campus  he  loved  so  well. 

John  is  survived  by  his  devoted  wife, 
the  former  Geraldine  E.  Potter  of  Nep- 
tune, New  Jersey,  and  a  son,  Robert  Pot- 
ter Worth,  10  years  old. 

The  University  and  the  Class  of  1937 
extend  its  sympathy  to  his  loved  ones.  He 
will  be  missed  by  a  multitude  of  friends. 


Welcome,  Senior  Class  of  1958.

MISS  CATHERINE  L.  EVANS 
3751  West  Ridge  Road 
Erie,  Pa. 


Major    Floyd    L,    Vuitlemot 

Because  our  classmate,  Floyd  L.  Vuille- 
niot,  did  not  get  his  picture  in  our 
L'Agenda  and  because  his  educational  and 
military  background  is  inspiring  to  any- 
one who  realizes  the  value  of  an  education 


the  following  should  give  us  a  brief  ac- 
count of  a  man  who  has  faithfully  served 
his  country  for  the  past  15  years  and  has 
acquired  a  college  degree  while  doing  so. 

Major  Vuillemot,  USMC,  began  his 
education  at  Bucknell  under  the  Navy's 
V-12  program,  entering  the  service  in 
1942.  In  1945,  Floyd  graduated  from  the 
Marine  Corps  Officers'  Candidate  School 
and  has  since  served  in  infantry  intelli- 
gence and  engineering  positions  in  Marine 
Corps  units  located  in  the  L'nited  States, 
China,  Hawaii,  and  Korea. 

Although  his  service  to  the  Marine 
Corps  took  much  of  his  time  it  offered 
little  resistance  to  his  zeal  for  a  college 
education.  .A.s  some  of  you  may  know, 
Floyd  was  in  the  academic  procession  at 
Commencement  to  receive  his  Bachelor 
of  Science  degree  in  Civil  Engineering. 
To  complete  requirements  for  this,  his 
most  cherished  achievement,  Floyd  at- 
tended the  Universities  of  Colorado,  Mas- 
sachusetts and  Tennessee.  Instruction  at 
various  military  schools  such  as  the  Naval 
Photographic  Interpretation  Center  in 
Washington,  the  Army's  Engineer  School 
at  Fort  Belvoir,  Va.,  and  the  Army's  Com- 
mand and  General  Staff  College  at  Fort 
Levenworth,  Kansas,  also  helped  Floyd 
to  realize  his  ambition  of  obtaining  a  col- 
lege education. 

Although  Floyd's  endeavors  at  these 
various  schools,  both  civilian  and  military, 
have  helped  him  to  realize  his  ambition, 
Floyd  feels  a  great  debt  of  gratitude  to 
Bucknell  Universit}'.  With  a  recent  con- 
tribution to  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund, 
he  states,  "I  wish  it  could  be  larger,  per- 
haps in  years  to  come,  I  can  more  fully 
acknowledge  the  great  debt  I  owe  to  my 
University." 

Floyd  is  married  to  the  former  Annie 
L.  Burnet,  a  graduate  of  the  University 
of  Tennessee.  The  Vuillemot's  have  three 
children:  Lorraine,  8;  Scott,  4;  and  Lynne, 
1  year.  Thev  live  at  1129  Tylee  St.,  Vista, 
Calif.

William  R.  White  '26  Elected  Board  Chairman 


William  Rafford  White  '26  was  elected 
chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Buck- 
nell  University  at  a  special  Board  meeting 
on  October  12,  1957,  called  to  choose  a  suc- 
cessor to  the  post  left  vacant  by  the  death 
of  Dr.  Joseph  W.  Henderson  '08  of  Phila- 
delphia in  July. 

Mr.  White  has  served  on  the  Board  of 
Trustees  since  1938.  Prior  to  his  elevation 
to  Board  Chairman,  he  served  as  Chairman 
of  the  Investments  Committee  and  was  a 
member  of  the  Executive,  Finance  and  Nom- 
inations Committees. 

Rarely  does  a  graduate  of  any  college  rise 
to  prominence  so  rapidly  as  has  Mr.  White. 
After  his  graduation  from  Bucknell  he  at- 
tended Columbia  University,  where  he  re- 
ceived the  degree  of  LL.B.  in  1929.  Union

council  of  the  New  York  State  Banking 
Department.  In  January  1935,  Governor 
Herbert  H.  Lehman  appointed  him  superin- 
tendent of  banking.  When  he  was  appoint- 
ed superintendent,  Mr.  White  was  thirty-two 
years  of  age,  the  youngest  superintendent  of 
banks  ever  appointed  in  that  state.  His  ser- 
vice of  six  years  and  ten  months  as  superin- 
tendent was,  with  one  exception,  the  longest 
of  any  in  the  96-year  history  of  the  State 
Banking  Department. 

Mr.  White  resigned  as  superintendent  of 
banks  in  1942  to  become  vice  president  of 
the  Guaranty  Trust  Company  of  New  York. 
While  serving  as  superintendent  of  banks,  he 
was  elected  president  of  the  National  Asso- 


ciation of  Supervisors  of  State  Banks  and 
he  also  served  as  chairman  of  the  New  York 
State  Banking  Board. 

In  January  1938,  Mr.  White  received  the 
Distinguished  Service  Award  given  annually 
by  the  Young  Men's  Board  of  Trade  of  New 
York  City  to  that  city's  outstanding  man  un- 
d-r  thirty-five  years  of  age.  In  1939  the 
New  York  State  Junior  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce awarded  Mr.  White,  as  New  York's 
outstanding  young  man  of  the  year,  the  Dis- 
tinguished Service  Award. 

Mr.  White  is  the  author  of  papers  dealing 
with  banking  and  bank  supervision  and  was 
lecturer  in  the  Graduate  School  of  Banking, 
Rutgers  University,  from  1910  to  1942.  He 
has  been  a  trustee  of  the  Bowery  Savings 
Bank  since  1943,  and  a  member  of  the  Exec- 
utive Committee.  He  is  also  a  member  of 
the  New  York  Bar  Association  and  a  trustee 
of  the  Legal  Aid  Society  of  New  York. 

A  member  of  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  frater- 
nity, he  has  served  as  chairman  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees  of  the  national  fraternity.  He  is 
a  member  of  the  University  Club  of  New 
York  City,  Clove  Valley  Rod  and  Gun  Club, 
Millbrook  Golf  and  Tennis  Club,  Wykagyl 
Country  Club  and  is  listed  in  Who's  Who 
in-  America. 

Born  in  Coudersport  in  1903,  Mr.  White 
married  the  former  Elizabeth  C.  Spear  of 
Northampton,  Mass.,  a  Smith  College  grad- 
uate. There  are  three  children,  Deborah 
Ann,  who  graduated  in  1956  from  Bucknell; 
William  R.  White,  Tr.,  a  member  of  the 
Bucknell  Class  of  1958;  and  David  Rodney, 
now  a  preparatory  school  student.  The 
Whites  live  at  45  Gramercy  Park,  New  York 
City.

Secona  Century  Development 

Ground  treakin^  ceremony  continues  tne 
expansion  or  tne  new  acaaemic  quadrangle 


TN  OCTOBER'S  bright  blue  weather  Buck- 
^  nellians  gathered  to  witness  the  ground- 
breaking ceremony  of  Coleman  Hall,  the 
Universitj-'s  largest  classroom  building.  The 
time  was  11  :00  o'clock  on  Saturday,  October 
12,  and  more  than  one  thousand  spectators 
looked  on  as  President  Odgers,  Dr.  Charles 
L.  Horn,  president  of  the  Olin  Foundation, 
Inc. ;  Dr.  William  H.  Coleman,  vice  presi- 
dent of  the  University ;  members  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees ;  faculty  and  students 
participated  in  the  ceremony. 

The  building,  a  gift  of  the  Olin  Founda- 
tion, is  nearing  the  stage  of  reality  mainly 
through  the  tireless  efforts  of  Dr.  William 
H.  Coleman.  Xamed  in  honor  of  this  re- 
spected teacher  and  administrator,  who  has 
served  Bucknell  faithfully  for  over  30  years, 
Coleman  Hall  will  fill  a  pressing  need  for 
more  adequate  classroom  space. 

Perhaps  the  appreciation  of  the  Olin  Foun- 
dation's gift  of  Sl.475.000,  which  will   make 


the  building  possible,  was  best  expressed  by 
Dr.  C.  Willard  Smith,  professor  of  English 
and  secretary  of  the  faculty.  Dr.  Smith 
echoed  the  sentiments  of  the  University  when 
he  said,  "This  efficiently  designed  class  hall 
will  be  named  for  one  of  our  colleagues 
whom  hundreds,  if  not  thousands,  of  our 
.\lumni  remember  with  affection  and  esteem 
as  their  teacher,  William  Harold  Coleman. 
The  gift  of  the  Olin  Foundation  has  pro- 
vided us  with  an  instrument  of  great  value ; 
with  an  expression  of  high  confidence  in  our 
teaching  and  in  our  sense  of  academic  re- 
sponsibility, to  the  end  that  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity may  endure  and  ever  more  certainly 
hold  a  fair  course  in  the  adventure  of  Amer- 
ican education." 

The  academic  structure  will  provide  a 
University  Theater,  thirty-three  classrooms 
and  academic  offices  for  the  departments  of 
economics,  education,  history,  philosophy, 
jjolitical  science,  psychology,  religion,  and 
sociology,      and      will      be      air-conditioned 


throughout.  Provision  will  be  made  also 
for  later  installation  of  classroom  television. 
Three  stories  high,  the  building  will  in- 
corporate many  new  features  in  classroom 
construction  and  design  and  will  include,  on 
its  first  floor,  an  attractive  gallery  and  lobby 
for  art  exhibits.  Among  its  thirty-three 
classroom  units  will  be  two  amphitheater- 
type  lecture  halls,  one  of  them  tiered  for 
motion  picture  projection,  and  ten  seminar 
rooms,  three  of  them  with  kitchenette  facili- 
ties. 

Its  theater,  which  may  be  used  also  as  a 
lecture  or  concert  hall,  will  include  a  stage- 
house,  wagon  stages,  dressing  rooms,  work- 
shop, and  costume  and  property  storage 
facilities.  It  will  seat  300  on  its  main  floor 
and  200  in  the  balcony. 

The  building  will  also  provide  special  re- 
search facilities,  among  them  a  constant  tem- 
perature small-animal  room  for  the  depart- 
ment of  psychology. 


Following  the  ground-breaking  ceremonies  for  the  new  Coleman  Hall,  Dr.  Charles  L.  Horn,  president  of  the  F.  W.  Olin  Foundation,  (right)  congratu- 
lotcs  Dr.  William  H.  Coleman  in  whose  honor  the  new  building  will  be  narrcd.

a  "black"'  Friday  of 
pouring  rain,  HOME- 
COMIXG— 1957  was 
another  b  i  g  day  of 
sunshine.  Bucknell 
spirit  ran  rampant 
from  the  early  morn- 
ing breakfast  of  the 
Bison  Club  to  the  raid- 
night  strains  of  "Good- 
night Ladies."  Even 
the  superior  football 
squad  of  Boston  Uni- 
versity' that  dazzled 
the  Thundering  Herd 
of  Bisons  to  a  28-0 
standstill  failed  to 
dampen  the  spirits  of 
the  ardent  followers  of 
football. 

As  usual,  the  under- 
graduate students,  un- 
der the  guidance  of 
committees  of  faculty 
and  administration, 
provided  the  major 
items  of  entertainment 
for  the  alumni  visitors. 
The  float  parade,  with 
a  big  assist  from 
ROTC,  the  Homecom- 
ing Queen  Pageant 
and  the  Fraternity 
Sing  at  the  Homecom- 
ing Dance  were  only 
part  of  the  many  ac- 
tivities planned  and 
e.xecuted  by  the  under-

Floats  and  House 
Decorations 

A  total  of  fifteen 
floats  competed  for 
prize  money  with  first 
prize  honors  going  to 
the  Phi  Kappa  Psi  and 
Phi  Mu  entrj-  which 
had  as  its  theme  "This 
Time  the  Party  Is  On 
Us."  A  huge  teapot 
appeared  at  one  end 
with  a  cup  and  saucer 
at  the  other.  A  teabag 

with  Boston  University  written  on  it  was 
placed  near  the  cup.  Second  prize  was 
awarded  to  Sigma  Phi  Epsilon  and  third 
r^rison  for  their  float  depicting  a  Boston 
sleigh  with  twelve  attractive  girls  pulling 
the  sleigh.  Its  appropriate  theme  was. 
"SIc-igh  Boston."  Third  place  went  to  a 
shivering  Tau  Kappa  Epsilon  and  Carey 
House  group  who  portrayed  bronze  statues 
in  symbolic  victory  jKjses.  Honorable  men- 
tion was  awarded  to  the  Delta  Upsilon  and 
.Mpha  Phi  float  with  its  theme,  "Boston's 
I^st  Hide." 

[prison  Hall  and  Bucknell  Cottage  won 
the  cup,  presented  this  year  by  the  Women's 
Recreation  Association,  for  the  best  deco-

Rock -Strewn  Path  Looms  For  Bucknell  Gridders 


BOB    FITZSIMMONS    '58 

As  this  piece  is  written  coach  Harry  Law- 
rence is  readying  his  charges  for  their  annual 
clash  with  Lafayette  at  Easton.  Following 
the  Leopards,  Lehigh,  Colgate  and  Delaware 
will  tangle  with  the  Bisons  and  the  prospects 
for  future  victories  this  autumn  are  not 
bright.  Bucknell  will  be  outmanned  in  each 
of  its  remaining  contests  just  as  it  was  in 
last  Saturday's  28-0  loss  to  Boston  Univer- 
sity. Only  super  human  jobs  by  Lawrence, 
his  coaching  assistants,  Bill  Wrabley  and 
Roger  Oberlin,  and  the  outgunned  but  not 
out-hustled  team,  could  turn  1957  into  a  .500 
or  better  campaign. 

A  series  of  backfield  mistakes  proved  dis- 
astrous in  the  defeat  by  Boston.  The  Herd 
held  the  New  Englanders  to  a  7-0  halftime 
advantage  by  digging  in  along  the  line  when 
it  had  to  and  countering  with  an  occasional 
offense  of  its  own.  The  Orange  and  Blue 
marched  all  the  way  to  Boston's  17  with  time 
running  out  in  the  first  half,  only  to  have 
soph  halfback  Ray  Hettche  drop  a  first  down 
pass  from  halfback  Jack  Brothers  on  the 
ten.  One  play  later,  the  Terriers'  fleet  half- 
back, Paul  Cancro,  broke  loose  and  was 
headed  for  six  points  when  he  was  finally 
overtaken  by  fullback  Bob  Fitzsimmons  on 
the  Bucknell  28  after  a  gallop  of  55  yards. 
It  was  a  wonderful  defensive  effort  by  Fitz, 
a  crackerjack  ball  player  on  both  offense  and 
defense,  and  a  feat  that  won't  soon  be  for- 
gotten by  spectators  at  the  game. 

Came  the  second  half  and  disaster  for  the 
home  team.  Amelio  DiNitto,  a  5-8  soph 
making  his  starting  debut  for  Boston,  un- 
leashed touchdown  passes  of  64,  14  and  9 
yards  to  completely  demolish  Bucknell.  The 
Terriers  hammered  out  224  yards  rushing  in 
the  opening  30  minutes  and  could  tally  only 
one  TD.  In  the  second  half  they  settled  for 
57  yards  on  the  ground,  as  DiNitto  took 
them  aloft   for   their   three   scores.      In   all, 

6 


DiNitto  completed  seven  of  12  tosses  for 
155  yards  to  make  Ufe  miserable  for  the 
Herd.  It  seems  that  halfbacks  who  should 
know  better  were  fouling  up  their  secondary 
defensive  assignments  and  the  miscues  were 
costly  to  a  Bucknell  squad  that  is  not  potent 
enough  to  take  mistakes  in  stride.  The  line, 
with  ends  Jim  Brady  and  Rogers  Frassenei 
and  guards  Gene  Meenan  and  George  Sal- 
inger starring,  did  a  fine  job  in  a  futde 
cause  for  the  Lawrence  clan. 

The  Bisons  opened  the  season  with  an 
unimpressive  16-0  conquest  of  Albright,  m 
which  the  defense  was  virtually  untested  and 
the  offense  showed  as  little  as  possible  to 
onlooking  scouts.  The  tilt  did  reveal  a 
sophomore  end  with  tremendous  potential 
in  the  6-2  Brady,  who  snatched  a  five-yard 
pass  from  quarterback  Terry  Fetterman  and 
sped  16  yards  into  the  end  zone.  The^  hard- 
working Fitzsimmons  also  blossomed  in  this 
skirmish,  collecting  110  yards  running  and 
dashing  16  yards  for  a  touchdown. 

The  most  notable  event  of  this  evening, 
however,  was  a  field  goal  that  BU  tackle 
Bill  Walasek  place  kicked  from  the  Albright 
13-yard  line.  It  was  the  first  three-pointer 
notched  at  Memorial  Stadium  since  Temple's 
Sid  Beshunsky  turned  the  trick  in  a  10-7 
Owl  victory  in  1941,  and  the  first  on  that 
gridiron  by  a  Bucknellian  since  Clark  Hinkle 
booted  one  in  a  23-7  romp  over  Albright  in 
1931. 

There  were  no  scores  of  any  sort  the  next 
week  against  an  underrated  Gettyburg  team 
in  Hershey.  the  Bisons  dropping  a  19-0  deci- 
sion. Playing  minus  the  services  of  two  of 
their  standout  linemen,  guard  Lew  Hart  and 
tackle  Bob  Holmes,  the  Herd  wore  out  late 
in  the  third  quarter  and  the  Bullets  ripped 
across  three  last  period  touchdowns  to 
achieve  their  win.  Not  even  Fitzsimmons 
could  fathom  the  tough  Gettysburg  forward 
wall,  his  15  carries  netting  only  19  yards, 
and  the  Orange  and  Blue's  only  threat  was 
s-t-up  when  Meenan  blocked  a  punt  on  the 
victors'  29.  There  was  no  further  progress, 
however,  and  the  Herd  succumbed  to  Frank 
Capitani  and  company  for  the  second  time 
in  three  years. 

Lawrence  had  his  boys  rebounding  smartly 
against  highly-touted  Temple  the  following 
Saturday.  Fitz  banged  away  for  83  yards 
and  Bucknell's  number  two  unit  accounted 
for  three  tallies  as  BU  prevailed,  19-6. 
Reserve  fullback  Bruce  Nealy  plunged  three 
yards  for  one  marker,  ran  45  yards  with  an 
intercepted  pass  for  another  and  was  gen- 
erally impressive  for  a  kid  who  had  played 
end  for  two  years  and  had  just  recovered 
from  a  case  of  hepatitis.  Halfback  Buzzy 
Errickson  sprinted  eight  yards  w-ith  a  pitch- 
out  from  soph  quarterback  Dennis  Cox  to 
pick  up  the  other  TD. 

The  second  platoon's  play  in  this  game 
was  overshadowed  only  by  the  all-around 
defensive  performance.  Temple  broke  into 
the  scoring  column  after  the  contest  had  been 
prolonged  by  a  penalty  on  the  final  play. 
Owl  fuUbacK  Mike  Logan  plucked  a  Bison 
heave  out  of  the  air  and  scooted  83  yards  to 
pay-dirt  to  wind  up  the  afternoon's  action  in 
thrilling  fashion. 

Any  encouragement  provided  by  the  re- 
serves' performance  against  Temple  was 
quickly  dispelled  during"  the  course  of  Buck- 
nell's 13-7  triumph  over  Carnegie  Tech  in 
Pittsburgh.  The  starters  marched  to  touch- 
downs the  first  time  they  handled  the  ball  in 
each  half  and  had  to  hold  the  Tartans  at  bay 
to  preserve  the  victory.  Chuck  Wagner  and 
the  ever-present  Fitzsimmons  chalked  up  the 
six-pointers  for  the  Herd,  with  Fitz  cracking 
the  line  30  times  to  gain  125  yards.  On  this 
particular  occasion  the  Bucknell  sub  brigade 


could  neither  move  the  ball  nor  check  the 
opposition. 

Through  the  gloom  that  clouds  the  picture 
every  once  in  a  while  there  have  been  several 
shining  lights.  Fearless  Fitz,  with  his  389 
yards  in  93  trips  and  his  dependable  defen- 
sive linebacking,  has  represented  most  of  the 
Bisons'  attack  thus  far  and  has  certainly 
been  the  team's  most  valuable  performer. 
End  Frassenei,  like  Fitz,  a  senior,  has  been 
a  consistently  effective  defender.  Fitz  and 
Rog  were  elected  permanent  co-captains  on 
the  eve  of  the  Boston  fray. 

The  pride  of  the  sophomores  has  been 
wingman  Jim  Brady.  He's  started  every 
game  and  has  been  a  dandy  pass  receiver,  as 
well  as  a  stout  defensive  terminal.  Half- 
Ijack  Hettche,  quarterback  Cox  and  guard 
Salinger  are  other  varsity  newcomers  who 
should  come  into  their  own  before  too  long. 

The   Baby   Bisons 

Only  30  candidates  showed  up  for  fresh- 
man football  practice  this  September  and 
there  doesn't  figure  to  be  much  on  hand  to 
aid  the  '58  varsity.  Most  promising  of  a 
sparse  lot  is  halfback  Paul  Terhes,  a  husky 
halfback  from  the  Valley  Forge  Military 
Academy.  Despite  the  lack  of  depth  and 
talent,  coaches  Bob  Latour  and  Franny 
Hatton  have  been  toiling  diligently  with 
their  yearlings,  who  lost  to  F  and  M,  14-7, 
and  to  Gettysburg,  34-0,  in  their  first  two 
outings. 

BU    Booters   Show    Improyement 

A  very  green,  inexperienced  Bucknell  soc- 
cer squad,  which  coach  Hank  Peters  honestly 
didn't  think  would  win  a  game,  had  a  victory 
and  a  tie  to  its  credit  after  four  battles.  A 
10-0  blanking  by  Penn  State  was  followed 
in  order  by  a  2-1  loss  to  Temple,  a  4-0  whip- 
ping of  Delaware,  and  a  stirring  3-3  dead- 
lock with  Wilkes.  The  last  three  tilts  were 
Middle  Atlantic  Conference  affairs  and  an- 
other is  on  the  docket  Saturday  at  Gettys- 
burg. A  pair  of  sophomores,  John  Toal  and 
Lee  Lawver,  have  rapped  home  a  couple  of 
goals  apiece  to  lead  the  Bison  attack,  while 
junior  Jimmy  Brown  has  stepped  into  the 
goalie  post  and  covered  himself  with  early- 
season  glory. 

Bison   Cogers  at  Work 

Coach  Ben  Kribbs,  who  guided  Bucknell 
to  16  victories,  the  most  in  the  University's 
court  history,  in  24  games  last  winter,  is 
getting  his  current  squad  in  shape  for  the 
most  rigorous  schedule  ever  attempted  by  a 
BU  five.  As  is  his  custom,  Kribbs  had  his 
candidates  condition  themselves  by  running 
the  cross  country  course  before  commencing 
the  indoor  drills.  Among  the  returnees 
available  for  duty  this  season  are  seniors 
John  Strizzi,  Skip  Wieder  and  Bob  Salan- 
kiewicz,  and  juniors  Hal  Danzig,  Ellis  Har- 
ley,  Bob  Ericsson  and  Jack  Flanegan.  More 
about  the  dribblers  in  the  next  issue.

James  A.  Tyson  11,  Prominent  Alumnus,  Dies      waiter  h.  Edwards  13  Retires 


Bucknell  lost  one  of  its  most  loyal  and 
active  alumni  workers  with  the  death,  on 
October  12,  of  Tames  Arthur  Tyson,  at  his 
home  R.  D.  1,  ilertztown.  Pa. 

Jimmy,  as  he  was  known  to  thousands  of 
Bucknellians,  served  his  Alma  Mater  in  a 
distinguished  fashion  from  the  first  day  he 
set  foot  on  the  Bucknell  campus.  A  mem- 
ber of  the  Class  of  1911,  he  earned  his  Bach- 
elor of  .A.rts  degree  in  jurisprudence  summa 
cum  laude,  and  he  was  a  prominent  member 
of  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon  fraternity,  serving 
as  president  of  the  group  in  his  senior  year. 
He  was  a  Commencement  speaker  and  a 
member  of  Cap  and  Dagger  and  the  Law  Club. 

Jimmy  was  bom  in  Montgomery,  Pa.,  on 
May  19,  1S86.  and  attended  Muncy  High 
School  and  Muncy  Normal  School  before 
entering  Bucknell. 

He  enjoyed  a  long  and  successful  business 
career.  Following  graduation  he  became  a 
teacher  in  the  public  schools  of  Westlield, 
\.  J.,  for  one  year,  followed  by  service  as 
Eastern  Pennsylvania  manager  for  Silver 
Burdett  &  Co.,  publishers  for  three  years. 
In  1915  he  entered  the  life  insurance  busi- 
ness as  a  general  agent  for  Equitable  Life 
Insurance  Company  of  Iowa  and  served  in 
several  capacities  in  Harrisburg  and  Phila- 
delphia. In  1929  he  became  manager  for  the 
Guardian  Life  Insurance  Company  of  Amer- 
ica and  served  with  distinction  in  that  or- 
ganization in  Xew  York  and  Philadelphia 
until  his  retirement  in  1952.  He  was  award- 
ed his  company's  president's  cup  for  best  all- 
around  agency  performance  in  1942.  Since 
his  retirement  he  has  lived  at  R.  D.  1,  Mertz- 
town.  Pa. 

Beginning  his  alumni  activities  at  the  time 
of  graduation,  he  had  served  in  nearly  every 
capacity  in  the  alumni  organization.  Jim 
served  as  finance  committee  member  which 
created  the  Alumni  Loyalty  Fund  and  was 
instrumental  in  securing  Bucknell's  first  full- 
time  alumni  secretary.  He  was  president  of 
The  General  .Alumni  .Association  for  two 
years  and  chairman  of  the  Harrisburg  Dis- 
trict for  the  stadium  campaign,  the  Philadel- 
phia District  endowment  campaign,  and  the 
Philadelphia     100th     birthday    campaign     in 


1942.  He  was  the  first  president  of  the  Buck- 
nell's Fathers  Association,  a  member  of  the 
Bucknell  placement  committee,  vice  presi- 
dent of  the  Bison  Club,  president  of  alumni 
clubs  in  Philadelphia  and  Harrisburg,  and 
president  and  class  fund  manager  of  his  Class 
of  1911.  When  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Annual- 
Giving  Fund  was  begun  in  1948,  he  accepted 
appointment  on  the  original  fund  committee 
and  has  served  in  that  capacity  ever  since. 
In  1953  the  Alumni  Association  awarded 
him  the  Bucknell  Chair  for  Distinguished 
Service  to  Bucknell  University. 

Closely  related  to  his  service  to  his  Alma 
Mater  was  that  to  his  fraternity,  Sigma  Al- 
pha Epsilon.  Here  he  was  chairman  of  the 
finance  committee  which  raised  the  money 
to  build  the  present  fraternity  house,  presi- 
dent of  the  SAE  alumni  for  many  years,  and 
he  also  headed  the  committee  that  raised 
funds  in  1943  to  pay  off  the  entire  fraternity 
debt.  Certainly  few  alumni  of  any  Univer- 
sity have  given  as  much  for  its  welfare. 

His  business  association  included  mem- 
bership on  the  Harrisburg  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce, the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Phil- 
adelphia Life  Insurance  Underwriters,  the 
LTniversity  Club  of  Philadelphia,  Exchange 
Club,  Kiwanis  International,  and  he  served 
as  vice  president  of  the  City  Business  Club 
of  Philadelphia.  He  was  a  member  of  the 
Masonic  Lodges  and  the  Presbyterian 
Church. 

In  1913  Jimmy  married  the  former  Alice 
Louise  Kolb  of  the  University  of  Alabama 
who  survives.  From  this  union  there  were 
four  children  all  of  whom  attended  Bucknell 
University.  They  are  Mrs.  Louis  H.  Buek 
(Alice  Louise  Tyson  '36),  James  A.  Tyson, 
Jr.  '41,  Ralph  Maurice  Tyson  '41,  and  Reu- 
ben Kolb  Tyson  '52.  Jimmy  also  had  sev- 
eral sisters  and  a  brother  some  of  whom  at- 
tended Bucknell.  They  include  Miss  Carrie 
G.  Tyson,  Miss  Lulu  Clare  Tyson  '21,  Mrs.

WALTER  H.  EDWARDS 

On  May  1,  1957,  after  nearly  50  years  of 
railroading,  Walter  H.  Edwards  '13,  retired 
as  president  of  the  Lehigh  and  New  England 
Railroad  Company. 

Mr.  Edwards  began  his  railroading  career 
in  1909  when  he  was  first  employed  by  the 
Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railroad  Company  fol- 
lowing the  completion  of  his  freshman  year 
at  Bucknell.  Employed  by  an  engineering 
corps  in  the  construction  department  of  the 
Baltimore  and  Ohio,  Mr.  Edwards  found  the 
work  most  interesting  and  the  experience 
worthwhile,  and  therefore,  remained  on  this 
job  until  the  fall  of  1910  at  which  time  he 
requested  an  unlimited  leave  of  absence  to 
complete  his  college  education. 

He  then  returned  to  Bucknell  and  gradu- 
ated in  1913  with  a  Bachelor  of  Science 
degree  in  Civil  Engineering.  While  in  school 
he  was  a  member  of  Delta  Sigma  and  a 
manager  on  the  varsity  baseball  team.  Upon 
leaving  Bucknell,  he  attended  Harvard  Uni- 
versity, completing  several  graduate  courses 
in  engineering. 

Following  his  sojourn  at  Harvard,  it  was 
back  to  tlie  Baltimore  and  Ohio.  He  re- 
mained witli  this  company  from  aiiproxi- 
mately  1914  to  1930,  except  for  a  short 
interim  with  the  Interstate  Commerce  Com- 
mission from  1915  to  1916. 

Effective  December  1,  1930,  Mr.  Edwards 
left  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  and  became  gen- 
eral superintendent  of  the  Lehigh  and  New 
England  Railroad  Company.  Since  joining 
Ibis  line  he  has  held  the  offices  of  vice  presi- 
dent and  general  manager,  and  executive 
vice  iirusident.  In  1947  he  was  elected  prcsi- 
ctenl  of  the  company  and  continued  in  this 
imsition  until  his  rctircnu-iit  this  past  May. 
He  now  serves  as  a  director  and  chairman 
of  the  executive  committee  of  the  company. 

Mr.  Edwards  is  a  director  of  the  Bethlehem 
(ilobe  Publishing  Company  and  director  of 
the  Bethlehem  Club.  Being  keenly  inter- 
ested in  hosiiital  work,  he  serves  as  a  trustee 
fur  the  St.  Luke's  IIosi)ital  of  Bethlehem.

esting description  of  fraternity  life  at

at  Bucknell.  Everyone  was  happy  to 
have  Buck  Shott,  Alumni  Secretary,  in 
attendance  and  hear  his  interesting  view- 
points of  Bucknell  life.  At  the  close  of 
Buck's  remarks,  a  general  discussion  was

activities. 

The  program  was  closed  by  having 
refreshments  served  amidst  the  gaiety  of 


good  wishes  being  bestowed  upon  the 
freshmen  and  their  parents  by  the  stu-

and  prospective  freshmen  turned  out  to 
the  largest  freshman  reception  ever  held 
by  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of  Wash- 
ington, D.  C.  Of  19  entering  freshmen 
from  the  Washington  area,  17  members 
of  the  Class  of  1961  were  present. 

The  meeting  was  held  at  the  National

WESTCHESTER— The  Bucknell  Alum- 
ni Club  of  Westchester  held  its  third 
annual  Freshman  Reception  on  Wednes-

byterian Church,  Rye,  New  York.  There 
were  83  alumni,  seniors,  freshmen  and 
their  parents  present  for  an  evening  filled 
with  chatter  and  fun.  It's  hard  to  tell 
which  group  had  the  most  fun  talking 
about  Bucknell,  but  we  feel  sure  that 
these  grand  freshmen  had  a  good  send-off 
for  Freshman  Week.  The  evening  ended 
with  refreshments  of  cider  and  doughnuts. 
Credit  for  organizing  the  successful  gath- 
ering goes  to  Mrs.  Naomi  Farr  Block  '49.

"Most  Development  Programs, 
as  they  should,  include  the  Alum- 
ni Fund.  For  this  is  a  major  key  to 
the  whole  money-raising  program 
of  an  institution  of  higher  educa- 
tion. The  funds  which  it  garners 
in  a  year's  time  ore  in  themselves 
increasingly  important  to  tightly 
budgeted  colleges  and  universities. 
Above  and  beyond  this  is  the  dem- 
onstrated fact  that  the  annual 
fund,  which  forms  in  most  con- 
tributors the  habit  of  regular  giv- 
ing to  (ncome,  is  a  feed  line  for 
indispensable  capital  benefac-

CONTRIBUTORS  1956-1957 

Gifts  Received  From  July  1, 1956,  to  June  30, 1957 


The  following  Is  a  list  of  the  names  of  ALUMNI,  FACULTY, 
and  FRIENDS,  who  made  contributions  to  the  University  during  the 
NINTH  FUND  YEAR,  1956-1957. 

As  o  result  of  the  generosity  of  the  Bucknell  Family,  the  Alumni 
Annual  Giving   Fund  has   reached  a  total  beyond  any  previous  year. 

Extreme  care  has  been  taken  in  the  preparation  of  the  following 
list,  but  some  errors  and  omissions  are  almost  inevitable.  We  will 
appreciate    if   you    will    bring    such    errors   to    the    attention    of    the 


ALUMNI  OFFICE.  No  doubt  some  gifts  intended  for  the  past  Fund 
year  were  received  after  July  1,  1957.  These  gifts  will  be  credited 
to  the  present  Tenth  Alumni  Annual-Giving  Fund  and  the  donors' 
names  will  appear  on  the  Tenth  Fund  list,  to  be  published  in  No- 
vember 1958.  The  numbers  in  parentheses  following  the  names 
of  givers  indicate  the  number  of  years  of  giving  since  the  Fund  was 
established  in  1948.  It  is  hoped  that  each  alumnus  can  make  an 
annual  gift  because  Alumni  Fund  giving  under  the  "living  endow- 
ment" principle  requires  that  the  annual  gift  be  made  continuously.

WHAT   IS  THE  ALUMNI   FUND? 

The  plan  for  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Annual-Giving  Fund  is  simple. 
Alumni  dues  and  magazine  subscriptions  have  been  discontinued.  Every 
alumnus,  former  student  and  friend  of  Bucknell  Is  invited  to  make  an 
unrestricted  gift  to  the  University  each  year.  These  gifts  are  directed 
to  current  operations  and  are  used  where  the  Board  of  Trustees  find  the 
greatest  need.  Some  port  of  each  dollar  inevitably  goes  for  faculty  sal- 
aries, supplies,  heat  and  other  building  maintenance  costs  and  the  thou- 
sand and  one  items  needed  by  a  University.  Each  person  contributing, 
no  matter  what  the  amount,  will  be  listed  as  a  donor  in  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALUMNUS.

WE'VE   REACHED  THE  $1,000,000 

PLATEAU  —  LET'S  TRY 

FOR  $4,000,000 

Your  gifts  to  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Annual- 
Giving  Fund  clone  this  past  year  equal  the  re- 
turn on  more  than  a  $1,000,000  of  invested 
endowment  (figured  at  4%  return).  If  every 
alumnus  and  former  student  makes  just  the 
average  gift,  the  1957-58  Fund  will  equal  the 
return  on  more  than  $4,000,000  of  invested 
endowment.  And  if  every  present  giver  contrib- 
uted a  dollar  per  year  for  each  year  since  col- 
lege days — Oh,  Boy — we'd  startle  the  college 
world.  By  such  increasing  support  of  the  Buck- 
nell Alumni  Annual-Giving  Fund,  alumni  and 
former  students  can  make  our  Tenth  Fund  Year 
(1957-58),  a  most  substantial  "living  endow- 
ment."

BUCKNELL  ALUMNI  FUND 

PERSONAL  SOLICITATION 

1956-57 

Personal  Solicitation  for  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  was  conducted  in  19  alumni  re- 
gions. New  areas  in  which  personal  solicitation  was  conducted  for  the  first  time  included 
Providence,  Schenectady,  Greater  New  York,  Reading,  Rochester,  Chicago,  and  the  counties 
of  Bergen,  Essex  and  Union  in  Northern  New  Jersey.  Over  350  alumni  workers  helped  by 
visiting  five  alumni  each. 

The  value  of  personal  solicitation  was  again  clearly  demonstrated  by  the  fact  that  over 
40%  of  the  contributors  were  Bucknellians  who  had  never  before  mode  a  gift  to  the  Buck- 
nell Alumni  Annual-Giving  Program.

Dr.  John  I.  Woodruff  '90,  was  honored 
recenllj-  when  Jerry  D.  Bogar  of  Harris- 
burg  entertained  at  a  dinner  party  in 
observance  of  the  65th  anniversary  of  the 
year  he  met  Dr.  Woodruflt  (August  25, 
1892).  Among  the  guests  was  Charles  I. 
Boyer  '02.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that 
the  average  age  of  the  guests  (.former 
students  of  Dr.  Woodruff)  was  78.  Dr. 
Woodruff  was  the  recipient  of  one  of  the 
Outstanding  Achievement  Awards  pre- 
sented by  Susquehanna  University  at  their 
annual  .\lumni   Day  banquet.   May  4. 

Following  a  number  of  years  of  ill 
health.  Laura  K.  Snyder  r82,  passed  away 
June  6.  She  was  the  last  of  her  immedi- 
ate family. 

Dr.  George  E.  Fisher  '91,  was  the  re- 
cipient of  one  of  the  Outstanding  Achieve- 
ment Awards  presented  by  Susquehanna 
University  at  their  annual  Alumni  Day 
banquet,  May  4.  Dr.  Fisher  retired  in 
1946  after  50  years  of  service  to  the  Uni- 
versity as  a  member  of  the  faculty  and  in 
other  policy  making  and  advisorj'  capaci- 
ties. He  was  active  in  work  of  the  Cen- 
tral Pennsylvania  Synod  of  the  United 
Lutheran  Church  in  America  and  in  the 
Snyder  County  Historical  Society  during 
his  years  of  residence  in  the  Susquehanna

Word  has  reached  us  recently  of  the 
deaths  of  both  Rev.  and  Mrs.  Caleb  B. 
Ayars,  Jr.  Mrs.  Ayars  (Lillian  C.  Grove 
1'93)  died  December  27,  1956,  followed  by 
her  husband,  Caleb  B.  Ayars,  Jr.  '01,  on 
March  30,  1957.  Our  sympathy  is  e.xtend- 
ed  to  their  family. 

Rev.  Charles  J.  Pearse  retired  April  1, 
1957,  after  many  years  of  service  in  the 
ministry  of  the  Baptist  Church,  the  last 
27  years  of  which  were  at  the  Hurlbut 
-Avenue  Baptist  Church  of  Detroit.  He  is 
remaining  in  Detroit  where  his  two  daugh- 
ters and  their  familiies  have  their  homes. 

It  seems  that  most  of  us  are  now  on  the 
retired  list,  Andy  Bechtel  writes  that  he 
has  been  there  for  some  years:  is  still  in 
good  health  and  enjoying  life  in  his  daugh- 
ter's home  on  a  farm  in  the  .St.  Louis  area. 

Archibald  Allison,  after  teaching  many 
years  in  the  Chicago  High  Schools  is  liv-

also  a  Chicago  teacher.  Their  son  and  his 
wife  arc  Bcloit  graduates.  He  says  he  is 
"just  an  old  man,  rusting  away  the  last 
few  years."  This  is  hard  to  believe  by 
those  of  us  who  have  received  letters  filled 
with  interest  in  his  class  and  .Mma  Mater,

GILBERT    PEREZ 

Dr.  Gilbert  Perez,  who  had  expected  to 
attend  the  Golden  Anniversary  of  the 
class,  was  detained  in  Paris,  where  he  was 
attending  the  international  convention  of 
numismatists.  Dr.  Perez's  collection  of 
Philippine  coins  has  made  him  interna- 
tionally known.  His  most  recent  article, 
published  in  Niuiiisnia,  organ  of  the  Ibero- 
.\merican  Society  of  Numismatic  Studies, 
for  February,  1956,  gives  the  history  of 
the  Filipino  peso  from  the  days  of  King 
Philip  II,  The  story  of  the  galleon  trade 
between  .A.capulco,  Mexico,  and  the  Philip- 
pines praises  the  skill  of  the  Filipino 
sailors  and  gives  interesting  stories  of  loss 
by  storm  and  shipwreck.  Dr.  Perez  gives 
special  praise  to  the  early  rulers  who  came 
from  Mexico  to  the  Philippines.  "If  the 
expedition  had  been  led  by  a  Cortez,  a 
Fizarro,  or  a  Fernando  de  Soto  accom- 
jianied  by  a  reactionary  Archbishop  from 
peninsular  Spain,  the  history  of  this  conn- 
try  would  have  been  very  different."  De- 
spite annoying  misprints  caused  by  a 
.Spanish-speaking  compositor's  unfamiliari- 
ty  with  English,  the  article  is  fascinating 
reading,

"Buckncll  in  June"  is  the  goal  for  all 
members  of  the  50-year  class, 

flans  for  the  Fiftieth  Reunion  of  iIh 
Class  of  1908,  scheduled  for  next  June 
received  a  severe  setback  in  their  early 
stages. 

Paul  G.  Stolz,  Cluirman  <>f  the  Reunion 
Conimillec,  gracious  lirpst  and  cnirieiit 
engineer  of  fornjcr  reunions  of  oiu'  class, 


died  less  than  a  week  after  the  second 
meeting  of  the  committee. 

As  usual,  Paul  was  head-over-heels  in 
planning  for  the  event.  The  first  com- 
mittee meeting  followed  a  dinner  party 
at  his  home.  Paul  had  composed  a  letter 
which  the  Alumni  Office  mailed  to  each 
member  of  our  class,  and  which  most  of 
you    have   received. 

Paul,  Charlie  Nicely  and  your  reporter 
went  to  Harrisburg  on  September  18  to 
plan  further  with  Stewart  Duncan  and 
Carl  Sprout.  Details  were  mapped,  and, 
also  as  usual,  Paul  was  to  be  the  link- 
between  the  campus  and  the  class. 

But  five  days  later  we  were  shocked  by 
the  news  of  his  death.  The  rest  of  us 
will  have  to  go  ahead  as  best  we  can. 

Piefore  Paul  left  us,  the  preliminary  list 
of  those  of  our  classmates  called  to  active 
duty  on  the  Reunion  Committee  was  com- 
piled and  is  as  follows.  Read  it  carefully;

to  the  family  of  Frank  W.  Reiter  on  his 
passing  in  .August  of  this  year.  Frank  had 
retired  in  1953  as  a  construction  consult- 
ant for  the  Flintkote  Co.,  a  job  he  had  held 
for  more  than  25  years.  He  was  active  in

Fifty  Years  of  Music 


Priscilla  Hardesty  Thompson  returned 
In  the  campus  last  June  to  celebrate  her 
liflietli  .'trniiversary  of  graduation  from 
the  llucknell  Scho(d  of  Music,  .She  great- 
ly iipprecialed  being  a  guest  of  llie  Uni- 
MTsiiy  and  was  proud  to  see  the  strides 
I'.iicknell   has   made  in   its  development. 

While  I'riscilla  entered  Buckncll  with 
the  Class  of  1910  and  took  college  courses 
she  also  took  the  music  course  which  led 
to  her  gr.idnalif)!!  at  the  end  of  one  year, 
.She    continued    her    musical    education    at 

21 


the  Institute  of  Musical  Art  (now  Juilli- 
ard  School  of  Music)  and  later  returned 
to  her  home  town,  Cape  Girardeau,  Mo., 
where  she  taught  music  privately  until 
her  return  to  Bucknell  as  a  teacher  of 
piano  in  1914.  She  resigned  in  1917  when 
she  married  John  Thompson.  During  the 
nineteen  years  they  lived  near  Washing- 
ton, D.  C,  she  was  teaching,  being  church 
organist,  and  taking  courses  in  public 
school  music  at  Washington  College  of 
Music. 

After  the  death  of  her  husband  she 
moved  to  Sandy  Spring,  Md.  (now  sub- 
urban Washington)  where  she  has  had 
an  intensive  teaching  career,  for  she  loves 
teaching  and  feels  that  is  where  lies  her 
greatest  opportunity  to  inculcate  love  of 
good  music.  In  addition  to  teaching, 
Priscilla  has  been  organist  and  choir  di- 
rector, given  recitals,  done  accompanying, 
and  sung  in  choruses  under  eminent  con- 
ductors. A  summer  of  study  at  Cincin- 
nati Conservatory  and  another  in  New 
York  with  Gustave  Becker  were  highly 
rewarding. 

The  opportunity  to  hear  noted  musi- 
cians, to  count  as  friends  Dr.  Walter  and 
Dr.  Frank  Damrosch,  to  know  Madam 
Schuman-Heink  and  her  accompanist, 
Arthur  Loesser,  and  Dr.  Hans  Kindler, 
organizer  and  conducter  of  the  National 
Symphony  Orchestra — to  mention  but  a 
few  —  gave  a  richly  inspirational  back- 
ground to  her  career. 

Priscilla  modestly  admits  to  some  com- 
position, her  latest  work  being  a  musical 
setting  for  the  90th   Psalm. 

It  has  been  fifty  years  of  a  wide  variety 
of  activity  with  teaching  always  the  best 
loved  and  major  part  of  her  musical  life.

Deep  sympathy  of  all  classmates  is  ex- 
tended to  the  widow  and  family  of  our 
beloved  class  leader,  JIMMY  TYSON, 
who  passed  on  unexpectedly  on  October 
12.  See  page  7  for  a  full  account  of  Jim- 
my's service  to  his  fellowmen  and  his 
University.  In  lieu  of  flowers,  many  of 
his  friends  have  sent  checks  to  the  Alumni 
fund  as  a  memorial.  Any  classmates  who 
wish  to  join  may  send  their  contribution 
to  John  H.  Shott,  Alumni  Secretary. 
Please  mark  your  check  "Jimrny  Tyson 
Memorial." 


As  we  go  to  press,  we  learn  of 
the  unexpected  death  of  our  own 
Frank  G.  Davis,  alumni  secretary 
from  1943  to  19S0,  in  Lewisburg 
on  October  21.  A  more  complete 
account  of  his  passing  will  appear  in 
our  next  issue.

We're  in  the  "BLACK."  Had  a  letter 
from  the  Alumni  Office  today  saying  that 
the  final  accounting  for  the  Class  of  1912 
reunion  had  been  made  showing  an  excess 
of  income  of  $16.35.  This  will  be  put  on 
the  shelf  for  our  reunion  in  1962.  Aren't 
we  rich? 

It  was  time  for  my  report.  I  was  almost 
afraid  to  open  it  because  it  might  have 
said  "Keep  'er  down  to  300  words."  I 
heard  that  about  a  million  times  from 
"Buck"  and  Bruce  when  I  was  trying  to 
get  my  reunion  report  together.  It  haunt- 
ed me^  and  I  forgot  to  tell  your  folks  who 
weren't  there  that  our  coll,ege  names  were 
on  our  badges,  too.  A  real  week-end!  I 
could  ramble  on  many  times  300  words 
22 


which  just  reminds  me,  I  was  telling  Pop 
about  a  very  dear  friend  being  so  very  ill 
that  her  heart  was  wearing  out  as  well  as 
some  other  organs  when  he  said  "Did  you 
ever  hear  of  a  person's  mouth  wearing 
out?"    I  just  kept  on  talking. 

We  all  wondered  about  Helen  Levegood 
who  is  usually  one  to  return  for  reunions. 
The  damp  weather  brought  on  a  severe 
case  of  arthritis  and  as  she  said  "I  could 
hardly  move  let  alone  'reune'.  I'm  now 
getting  in  shape  for  our  50th — in  five  years 
time  should  be  killed  or  cured." 

Vic  Schmid  is  still  teaching  at  Baltimore 
City  College.  He  had  planned  to  be  on 
hand  for  the  reunion.  Had  a  ride  with 
some  Baltimore  friends  and  at  the  last 
minute  they  decided  not  to  come.  This  left 
Vic  without  either  bus  or  train  transporta- 
tion in  order  to  be  there  for  the  reunion 
luncheon.  He  will  soon  retire  so  plans  to 
be  back  every  year. 

Now  before  I  forget  it  (old  age)  I  want 
to  tell  you  that  every  girl  who  was  grad- 
uated with  us  but  one  sent  back  her  ques- 
tionnaire. All  the  boys  but  four.  Now  we 
must  try  to  reach  these  people. 

In  a  couple  of  weeks  it  will  be  time  to 
take  a  pilgrimage  through  the  great  out- 
doors. The  annual  color  classic  of  crim- 
sons, reds,  yellows,  and  golds.  It  might 
be  called  a  pageant;  it  might  be  called  a 
mere  display  but  it  is  free  for  all  who  wish 
to  view  it.  Not  the  works  of  man  but 
rather  the  works  of  the  Divine  for  man. 

We  are  sorry  to  report  the  death  of  Miss 
Vera  M.  Frost  at  Erie  Osteopath  Hospital 
on  July  15.  Vera  was  buried  in  the  Bethel 
Cemetery  at  Brookville.    (Ed.)

At  the  convocation  on  September  25 
our  classmate,  Orwill  V.  W.  Hawkins, 
was  awarded  the  honorary  degree  of  Doc- 
tor of  Civil  Law,  this  distinction  coming" 
to  him  in  recognition  of  his  career  in  the 
legal  profession  in  New  York  City,  since 
1925  with  the  firm  of  Duer,  Strong,  and 
Whitehead.  In  addition  Orwill  has  been 
active  in  counseling"  service  with  S.  H. 
Kress  and  Co.  and  the  Samuel  H.  Kress 
Foundation.  He  is  also  a  trustee  of  our 
Alma  Mater.  Congratulations  in  abun- 
dance! 

What  follows  your  reporter  chooses  to 
call  a  letter  to  all  classmates.  About 
March  1,  1952,  reluctantly  I  consented  to 
accept  the  responsibility  of  being  our 
class  reporter.  Not  yet  have  I  altogether 
regretted  that  decision,  for  I  feel  better 
acquainted  with  some  of  the  "boys  and 
girls"  than  I  did  on  graduation  day  in 
1913.  But  disappointments  have  come 
my  way,  natural  sensations,  I  suppose,  of 
every  reporter,  for  letters  unanswered 
bring  some  pain.  For  all  the  grand  re- 
plies received  and  reported  in  the  ALUM- 
NUS, probably  most  classmates  have  felt 
some  joy  in  memories  refreshed  after 
many  years  have  flown  away.  However, 
I  have  been  unable  to  offer  even  a  line  on 
a  dozen  or  more  '13ers  who  forgot  to 
reply.  Yet  items  in  the  ALUMNUS 
about  these  former  associates  would  have 
been  read  as  avidly  as  about  those  whose 
names  did  appear.  Between  now  and  next 
June  more  letters  may  be  coming  your 
way,  from  me  or  from  some  other  class- 
mate, perhaps  a  questionnaire  for  infor- 
mation. You  see,  in  1958  our  45th  reunion 
will  be  a  feature  of  commencement  week. 
Then  do  respond,  please,  whether  you  live 
near  Lewisburg  or  in  remote  corners  of 
our  land.  As  time  passes,  shadows  length- 
en, but  memories  deepen  and  heartbeats 
quicken  when  thoughts  turn  back  to  col- 
lege days  of  long  ago.  Best  wishes, 
Charlie. 


(Continued  from  September  issue) 

From  Lucerne,  we  went  to  Wiesbaden 
by  train,  sharing  a  compartment  with  a 
friendly  Dutch  family.  Germany's  farm 
lands  reminded  us  of  the  farmlands  of 
Pennsylvania.  In  Mainz  we  had  our  first 
real  view  of  the  ravages  of  World  War 
II  bombings.  Our  guide  told  us  that  the 
destruction  we  saw  had  all  been  the  re- 
sult of  twenty  minutes  of  bombing  by 
American  planes.  From  our  hotel  in  Wies- 
baden we  made  several  tours,  including  a 
trip  to  Heidelberg  where  we  enjoyed  a 
sauerkraut  luncheon  in  a  delightful  stu- 
dents' gathering-place,  the  historic  Red  Ox 
Inn.  On  the  way  back  to  Wiesbaden,  we 
stopped  at  Worms  and  saw  Martin  Lu- 
ther's church.  In  both  Wiesbaden  and 
Lucerne,  we  walked  through  the  farmers' 
markets,  a  most  interesting  experience. 

Our  Jesse  E.  Riley  retired  as  superin- 
tendent of  the  State  Industrial  School  for 
Boys  at  Pruntytown,  W.  Va.,  in  August. 
With  a  life  time  of  service  to  youth  to  his 
credit,  Jesse  served  almost  ten  years  prior 
to  his  retirement  as  superintendent.  Dur- 
ing his  regime,  the  second  longest  tenure 
in  the  history  of  the  school,  he  improved 
the  morale  of  the  young  men  in  his  care 
considerabl}'.  The  rate  of  escapees  was 
reduced  75%.  He  and  Mrs.  Riley,  the 
former  Ethelmae  Hieter  '16,  will  do  some

114  E.  188th  St. 
New  York,  N.  Y. 


We  begin  with  words  from  Cy  Lewis. 
I  certainly  did  miss  the  news  concerning 
our  classmates  in  the  next  to  last  edition 
of  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS. 
Nope,  didn't  like  it  either.  (That  of 
course  was  in  response  from  a  letter  all 
you  guys  and  gals  of  '16  got  from  this  re- 
porter). 

What  can  I  do?  First  place,  I  graduat- 
ed as  an  engineer — engineers  don't  know 
how  to  write.  They  did  think  it  was  not 
necessary,  that  we  should  be  able  to  write. 
That  was  for  preachers,  teachers,  etc.  In 
the  second  place,  my  wife  and  I  were  not 
blessed  with  kids,  so  we  cannot  write  on 
that  subject.  Only  thing  left  is  myself 
— that  is  a  poor  subject.  You  will  note 
that  we  live  in  the  country  "Bryn  Awe- 
Ion,"  Drums,  R.  D.  If  our  late  classmate, 
Thomas  L.  James,  were  alive  he  would 
boast  that  it  was  a  good  Welsh  name. 
It  means  "Breezy  Hill"  and  that  is  true 
in  fact.  I  will  retire  in  a  year  and  a  half 
and  we  expect  to  spend  most  of  the  time 
here.  For  the  past  ten  years  I  have  been 
interested  in  growing  trees  as  a  hobby 
and  have  planted  a  goodly  number.  With 
this  I  can  conclude  with  an  old  Scotch 
proverb  that  goes  something  like  this — 
"He  who  plants  trees,  loves  others  better 
than  himself."  P.  S.  "I  am  the  Superin- 
tendent of  Generation,  Pennsylvania  Pow- 
er and  Light  Company."  Well  you  gen- 
erated something  in  the  foregoing. 

Thanks  Cy,  particularly  for  the  refer- 
ence to  "Tommie"  James.  What  a  worker 
he  was  with  eyes  that  most  of  us  would 
have  considered  too  much  of  a  handicap. 
He  and  Dr.  Burpee  were  a  pair  for  sure.

Dear  Members  of  the  Class  of  1918,  and 
all  of  you  others  who  tell  me  that  you  read 
my  feeble  efforts  each  month;  this  one 
almost  slipped  by  me,  but  I  managed  to 
get  under  the  wire.  Not  a  bit  of  news 
about  any  members  of  the  Class  of  1918 — 
I   really   can't  manufacture   news  items. 

This  house  moving  project  of  mine  has 
kept  me  occupied,  and  will  for  some  more 
time — we  are  moved,  at  this  writing  (Sep- 
tember 25)  but  not  completed — have  some 
foundation  to  complete,  the  basement  floor 
and  the  heat — and  believe  me,  this  chilh' 
morning,  I  am  hoping  that  the  warm 
weather  continues  for  a  few  more  weeks. 
It  has  been  quite  an  e^:perif>JJce,  and  like 
the  man  who  is  moving  us, "never  again." 

Added  to  all  this  confusion  my  daugh- 
ter arrived  home  from  a  three  month 
stay  in  Peru  where  she  was  doing  re- 
search in  Textiles  under  a  grant  from  the 
American  Philosophical  Society  and  my 
son  came  in  from  Xew  York  and  headed 
for  Cornell  and  his  last  half  year  of  school. 

Mary  Elizabeth  reported  a  wonderful 
time  on  her  trip — one  of  the  passengers 
on  her  flight  to  South  America  was  a  boy 
who  is  a  junior  at  Bucknell  this  year. 
Small  world! 

Saw  numerous  Bucknellians  at  the  first 
Fall  meeting  of  AAUW — we  are  in  the 
majority  in  this  area,  as  might  be  ex- 
pected. 

With  no  news  this  report  will  be  short, 
no  please,  you  1918crs  send  me  some  news 
-I  can't  write  about  myself  all  the  time, 
"snd  while  you  are  at  it,  give  me  some 
•suggestions  for  our  reunion  which  will  be 
here  very  shortly.

of  attending  our  30th  reunion  in  June,  but 
was  delayed  at  tlie  last  minute  due  to  ill- 
ness and  very  seriously  doubts  whether 
she  can  be  on  hand  in  1962.  We  hope 
you're  wrong!  However,  her  advice  to 
other  Alumni  is  "Be  sure  that  YOU  do 
not  miss  your  class  reunions:  then  you 
will  avoid  the  bitter  realization  that  it  is 
too  late!"

Your  reporter  was  privileged  to  meet 
with  our  President  Paul  Fink  recently, 
and  as  is  always  the  case,  he  was  plan- 
ning for  the  good  of  Bucknell  and  the 
Class  of  '29.  Believe  it  or  not,  we  are 
planning  already  for  the  return  of  loyal 
'29-ers  for  our  reunion  in  June,  1959.  We 
are  indeed  fortunate  to  have  such  an 
energetic  leader. 

Jean  Wood,  who  is  now  teaching  in 
Indianapolis  visited  on  the  east  coast 
during  August.  Unfortunately,  your  re- 
porter was  vacationing  at  the  time,  and 
did  not  have  an  opportunity  to  meet  with 
her.  We  are  looking  forward  to  Jean's 
return  in  the  not  too  distant  future. 

Henry  Rupp  writes  from  Huntsville, 
Ala.,  that  the  Tennessee  Valley  Area  is 
indeed  the  land  of  opportunity.  Henry 
is  a  guided  missile  engineer  at  Redstone 
Arsenal.  His  son,  Christopher,  is  a  fresh- 
man at  .Auburn  this  year.  We  do  hope 
that  Marilyn,  who  is  in  junior  high  school, 
will  come  to  Bucknell. 

When  the  Bell  Telephone  Company

community  activity,  and  is  also  very  ac-

Vincent  B.  Wayland  is  the  very  busy 
minister  of  the  Community  Church  of 
Lakeville  (Congregational),  Lakeville,  N. 
Y.,  but  took  time  out  to  keep  your  report- 
er posted.  He  tells  me  he  has  just  rededi- 
cated  their  remodeled  century  old  church. 
In  the  four  years  of  his  ministry  they  have 
remodeled  the  parsonage,  parish  house, 
built  a  new  educational  unit,  choir  facili- 
ties and  church  office  as  well  as  the  church 
to  take  care  of  their  growing  congregation 
and  to  afford  additional  space  for  scouts 
and  other  community  groups.  Vince,  Jr., 
a  senior  in  high  school  is  looking  forward 
to  college  and  Cheryl  is  in  junior  high 
school  and  like  most  girls  her  age  inter- 
ested in  ballet  and  fashion  design.  Kerry, 
the  baby  of  our  '54  reunion  and  Gay,  born 
in  November,  1954,  keep  busy  with  their 
pets,  TV  and  friends.  Mrs.  Wayland

and  the"  family  is  on  the  staff  of  the  Stu- 
dent Center  at  the  University  of  State  of 
New  York  Teachers'  College  at  Geneseo. 
Vince  is  the  moderator  of  the  Genesee 
Valley  Association  of  Congregational 
Christian  Churches.  He  served  two  terms 
as  president  of  the  Conesus  Lake  Council 
of  Churches  and  has  been  on  summer  staff 
of  the  Senior  High  Conference  at  Wells 
College.  Saw  Mel  LeMon  there  this  sum- 
mer. He  writes  he  wishes  we  could  in- 
crease the  money  in  our  class  treasury  to 
at  least  $1000  for  our  25th  reunion  in  '59, 
that  we  should  also  give  serious  consider- 
ation to  what  we  would  like  the  money 
used  for. 

I  hope  you  will  let  me  know  your  re- 
actions to  Vince's  suggestion  so  I  may 
pass  them  on  to  Sherb  Walker  and  Harry 
Fithian,  our  reunion  chairmen,  as  well  as 
Eddie  Myers  our  class  prexy.  My  address 
heads  the  column — all  you  need  to  do  now 
is  use  paper,  pen  and  stamp  on  your  en- 
velope to  express  yourselves.  I'll  do  my 
part!

The  allergy  season  is  here!  Some  of  us 
succumb  to  hay  fever,  and  some  to  the 
"paint-up,  fix-up"  urge.  We  have  joined 
the  do-it-yourself  clan  and,  paint  brush  in 
hand,  have  tackled  our  living  room.  Elev- 
en more  week-ends,  give  or  take  a  few, 
and  the  place  will  look  like  new — we  hope. 
Seems  like  we  belong  to  that  growing 
army  of  people  who  just  can't  wait  to  do 
their  own  decorating,  shovel  their  own 
snow  and  mow  their  own  lawns.  Latest

This  fall  your  reporter  narrowly  es- 
caped a  horrible  fate:  working.  The  teach- 
er shortage  forced  the  local  high  school 
principal  into  nearly  persuading  me  to 
teach  full  time.  However,  a  fortuitous 
enrollment  loss  at  the  junior  high  enabled 
a  shifting  of  some  ninth  grade  students 
back  there.  I  did  have  a  novel  experience, 
though — I  substituted  this  year  before 
school  began.  Since  I  took  a  class  the 
first  two  days,  I  attended  preceding  teach- 
er orientation  meetings.

The  big  news  this  time  is  the  event  on 
August  20  at  Comiskey  Park  in  Chicago 
when  Bob  Keegan  became  tlie  onl5'  pitch- 
er this  year  to  come  through  with  a  no- 
hit  no-run  game.  We  were  overjoyed 
for  him,  and  overwhelmed  when  he  was 
interviewed  on  Dave  Garroway's  show 
the  next  morning.  At  the  time,  the  sports 
pages  were  filled  with  Keegan's  statistics, 
history,  etc.,  but  for  those  who  read  it  and 
didn't  know  him,  this  trite  but  important 
statement  was  omitted — it  couldn't  have 
happened  to  a  nicer  guy.

no  news.  1  know  we're  supposed  to  keep 
these  reports  brief,  and  no  news  will 
accomplish  that.  However,  I  doubt  if 
that's  what  the  Alumni  Association  had

ON  THE  COVER 


To  help  celebrate  the  112th  Anniversary 
of  the  grantini;  of  the  charter  establishing 
the  University  (February  .>,  1846)  our  cover 
picture  gathers  togetlier  some  symbols  of 
Bucknell's  beginnings.  The  central  figure  is 
James  Moore.  Ill,  whose  zeal  and  devotion 
brouglit  together  tlie  small  group  of  found- 
ers. To  his  left  we  find  tlie  symbol  of  the 
financial  agents.  Dr.  William  Shadrack  and 
Eugenio  Kincaid  who.  on  horseback  and  by 
liorse  and  buggy,  covered  all  of  Pennsyl- 
vania and  nearby  New  .Jersey  and  Delaware 
seeking  subscriptions  to  the  fir.st  SIOO.OOO  of 
University  endowment.  Other  symbols  in- 
clude pictures  of  the  early  buildings,  all 
leading  to  the  Pennsylvania  map  carrying 
tlie  modern  symbols  of  the  arts  and  sciences 
now  taught  at  the  University,  112  years 
after  these  founding  fathers  "builded  better 
than  they  knew."  For  the  thrilling  details 
of  these  early  events  see  Ceiitenidal  Histurii

Admissioji  to  BuckneU  ivill  depend 

upon  intelligence,  high  grades  in  secondary  school, 
and  varied  cultural  and  community  interests. 


PART  OF  THE  FUTURE  is  already 
discernible.  In  the  first  place,  the  in- 
crease in  the  birth  rate  which  began  in 
the  forties,  plus  the  increased  demand  for 
college-trained  young  people,  will  mean  an 
enrollment  in  the  1970"s  of  double  that  of 
today.  In  1957-58  the  enrollment  in  col- 
leges has  already  shown  an  increase,  even 
though  the  birth  rate  of  eighteen  years 
ago  would  normally  have  meant  a  decrease 
in  this  year  and  in  the  last  several  years. 

The  second  fact  is.  that  even  if  colleges 
expand  their  enrollments,  and  new  insti- 
tutions, both  two-year  and  four-year,  are 
established,  many  colleges  which  do  not 
expand  or  expand  only  modestly,  will  ex- 
pect higher  scholarly  attainments  of  can- 
didates for  admission.  Fortunate  indeed 
will  be  the  young  person  endowed  with 
high  intelligence  and  diligent  stud}'  habits, 
high  grades  in  secondary  school  in  college 
preparatory  subjects,  who  also  will  have 
demonstrated  his  cultural  interests  in  writ- 
ing, music,  art.  community  groups  and 
other  activities.  Present  and  future  ad- 
mission policies  may  close  college  doors 
to  students  with  ability  merely  equal  to 
the  average  of  earlier  college  generations. 
Hence,  some  future  statesmen  may  be 
denied  admission  to  college. 

In  the  third  place,  greater  reliance  will 
undoubtedly  be  placed  upon  entrance  tests 
to  be  given  at  an  earlier  time  in  the  sec- 
ondary school  than  at  present,  and  upon 
a  broader  scale.  While  these  and  present 
tests  arc  by  no  means  perfect,  they  do 
serve  to  identify  the  scholar.  The  best 
preparation  for  these  tests  is  a  sound  col- 
lege preparatory  course,  with  emphasis 
upon  excellent  reading  ability,  wide  out- 
side reading,  good  study  habits,  and  the 
development  of  imagination  and  critical 
judgment.  Excellence  in  communication, 
iKJth  oral  and  written,  will  be  essential. 
Easy  cicctives  will  be  frowned  upon,  with 
emphasis  again  on  languages,  mathema- 
tics, and  the  sciences,  both  natural  and 
social.  'I'his  means  thai  study  will  need 
to  come  first,  with  extracurricular  arlivi- 
lics  and  community  participation  limited 
to  those  which  complement  an<l  assist  the 
general  scholarly  interest,

.■\t  some  of  the  better  known  colleges 
the  number  of  applications  and  the  num- 
ber ofljered  admission  is  much  greater 
than  at  Bucknell  in  relation  to  the  number 
of  places  in  the  entering  classes.  This  type 
of  competition  reduces  the  chances  for 
admission  for  students  who  rank  below 
average  in  high  school  achievement  and 
college  board  scores.  Even  graduation 
from  highly  rated  preparatory  schools 
does  not  assure  a  student  of  admission  to 
college,  for  all  students  face  competition. 

-Another  factor  affecting  college  admis- 
sion is  the  rising  cost  of  college  education 
which  is  offset  only  in  part  bj-  expanding 
scholarship  programs.  The  best  scholar- 
ships are  offered  in  large  measure  by  the 
better  known  colleges  and  increasingly  by 
industrial  corporations  or  their  founda- 
tions. -Again  a  premium  is  offered  for  the 
best  brains,  with  few  opportunities  for  the 
not-(|uite-brilliant  student.  .'Kt  Bucknell, 
since  scholarships  are  not  plentiful  and  the 
amounts  on  the  whole  are  not  large,  some 


outstanding  students  do  not  accept  admis- 
sion because  of  better  offers  elsewhere. 
-■\lunmi  should  encourage  scholarship  sup- 
port and  should  seek  out  the  young  people 
in  their  communities  who  are  likely  to  be 
winners  of  national  scholarships  applicable 
at  any  institution.  These  two  steps  could 
lead  to  a  higher  level  of  intellectual  attain- 
ment in  our  student  body. 

The  task  of  paying  for  a  college  educa- 
tion is  a  serious  strain  upon  the  family 
income.  Even  the  lowest  charges  may  be 
too  high  for  some  families.  Hence,  stu- 
dents need  to  supplement  family  income 
by  summer  work,  by  work  jobs  in  the  last 
three  years  in  college  or,  in  some  in- 
stances, by  loans  in  the  last  year  or  two  in 
college.  Bucknell  does  have  a  consider- 
able work  aid  program  and  some  loan 
funds.  Inflationary  pressures  and  the 
need  for  higher  faculty  salaries  have  re- 
Cjuired  a  series  of  fee  increases  in  all  pri- 
vate educational  institutions.  Bucknell's 
comprehensive  charge  (including  tuition, 
fees,  room  and  board)  will  be  $1750  next 
year,  including  a  $200  increase  over  this 
year's  tuition  charge.  This  does  not  in- 
clude books,  supplies  and  incidental  ex- 
penses. 

Perhaps  most  significant  is  tlie  changing 
attitude  with  respect  to  the  financing  of  a 
college  education.     Young   people  are  be-

THE  AIMS  OF  A  COLLEGE  EDUCATION 


By  Kabl  D.  Hartzell 
Dean  of  the  University 


EDUCATION  is  an  inexhaustible  sub- 
ject. More  words  and  ink  have  been 
expended  on  it  than  on  any  other,  ex- 
cept perhaps  rehgion  and  pohtics.  I  shall 
discuss  five  characteristics  of  a  liberally 
educated  person,  for  it  is  this  kind  of  per- 
son that  Bucknell  University  hopes  that 
its  students  will  become;  not  necessarily 
immediately,  or  at  the  end  of  four  years, 
but  graduall}' — as  a  result  of  the  founda- 
tion they  receive  here. 

The  first  characteristic  of  an  educated 
person  is  that  he  is  oriented,  or  "at  home," 
in  his  cultural  heritage.  The  importance 
of  such  an  orientation  was  pointed  out 
many  centuries  ago  by  the  Roman  Em- 
peror Marcus  Aurelius,  who  said,  "He 
who  knows  not  what  the  world  is,  knows 
not  where  he  is  himself." 

What  we  are  today  we  owe  to  the  work 
of  outstanding  men  and  women  who  have 
lived  before  us  and  who  have  left  behind 
them  the  noblest  ideas  that  they  could 
conceive — ideas  such  as  those  of  right, 
justice,  truth,  beauty  and  love;  and  the 
finest  institutions  they  could  develop — 
such  as  universal  suffrage,  representative 
government,  the  jury  system,  the  nation, 
and  the  United  Nations.  Their  spirit  and 
their  deeds  have  helped  form  our  Western 
traditions.  Even  here  at  Bucknell  we  are 
aware  of  traditions  to  which  faculty,  stu- 
dents and  administrators  in  by-gone  years 
have  contributed.  We  are  influenced  by 
these  traditions,  and  in  turn  we  will  pass 
them  on  to  our  children.  A  person  who 
is  at  home  with  the  best  ideas  of  all  time 
is  under  the  influence  of  the  very  essence 
of  what  it  means  to  be  human.  One  writ- 
er put  it,  "He  has  joined  the  human  race." 

An  understanding  of  our  cultural  heri- 
tage includes  an  awareness  of  the  fact  of 
change,  process,  evolution,  and  not  only  of 
the  fact,  but  also  of  the  direction.  For 
we  are  what  we  are  becoming,  both  as  a 
race  and  as  individuals.  The  educated  per- 
son lives  not  only  in  the  present  but  also 
in  the  past  and  the  future.  Just  as  we  are 
independent  of  location  in  space  through 
the  use  of  our  imagination,  so  we  are  also 
independent  of  existence  in  time  through 
the  use  of  the  same  faculty. 

The  direction  that  is  being  taken  by  the 
civilization  that  we  enjoy  today  is  the 
4 


work  of  the  uncommon  man.  It  is  not 
the  average  person  who  sets  the  direc- 
tion of  the  race,  but  he  who  has  the  in- 
telligence and  the  courage  to  stand  out 
ahead  of  his  fellows  or  to  pierce  the  pres- 
ent limits  of  knowledge  or  to  recognize 
needs  and  take  steps  to  meet  them.  Today 
more  than  ever  before,  this  country  needs 
leaders  in  all  walks  of  life;  and  it  is  the 
function  of  universities  such  as  Bucknell 
to  produce  them. 

Let  me  relate  these  ideas  to  the  cur- 
riculum. The  courses  that  deal  with  our 
heritage,  that  answer  the  question,  "How- 
did  we  get  to  be  what  we  are  today?" 
that  give  us  a  time  perspective,  are  those 
using  the  historical  or  chronological  ap- 
proach— specifically,  the  histories  of  West- 
ern civilization  and  its  coinponent  parts 
and  periods.  There  are  also  courses  in 
special  disciplines  that  attempt  to  give 
orientation  in  time,  such  as  anthropology, 
paleontology-,  astronomy,  geology,  and  his- 
tories of  philosophy,  music,  science,  art, 
and  world  literature.  The  more  one  takes 
of  these,  the  more  one  appreciates  the 
reality  of  time  as  a  fourth  dimension  of 
culture  and  understands  his  own  place  in 
the  on-going  of  the  human  race,  his  debt 
to  others,  and  his  obligation  to  transmit 
to  future  generations  what  he  knows  and 
believes.  These  kinds  of  understanding- 
are  the  possession  of  a  liberally  educated 
person. 

Secondly,  I  believe  an  educated  person 
is  also  at  home  in  the  contemporary  world 
in  which  he  is  living.  This  is  the  world 
into  which  we  were  born  and  in  which 
we  take  our  places  as  responsible  adults. 
It  has  the  same  component  parts,  the  same 
general  cultural  subdivisions  as  at  any  oth- 
er period  in  history,  whether  contempor- 
ary with  Christ,  Luther,  Napoleon  or 
Eisenhower.  The  areas  of  human  knowl- 
edge that  relate  to  the  subdivisions  of 
culture  may  be  grouped  in  the  modern  cur- 
riculum into  the  sciences,  the  social  sci- 
ences, the  humanities  and  the  fine  arts. 
Courses  offered  at  Bucknell  University 
that  are  taught  as  existing  bodies  of 
knowledge  without  any  historical  or  evolu- 


tionary dimension  relate  to  the  modern 
world.  They  are  the  pure  and  applied 
sciences,  such  as  chemistry,  physics,  biol- 
ogy, mathematics  and  engineering,  the 
social  sciences  such  as  economics,  sociolo- 
gy, some  courses  in  political  science,  and 
any  of  the  courses  with  the  prefix  "con- 
temporary" or  "modern"  such  as  contem- 
porary literature,  modern  philosophy, 
modern  art  or  even  modern  physics.  Some 
of  these  fields  use  the  problem  approach 
and  n-iay  or  may  not  draw  heavily  from 
the  past;  but  generally  speaking,  they  try 
to  give  a  cross  section  of  culture  as  of 
now. 

A  third  characteristic  of  an  educated 
person  is  that  he  understands  himself. 
The  individual  is  at  least  the  most  com- 
plex piece  of  living  matter  in  the  animal 
kingdom;  and  if  one  is  religious,  he  be- 
lieves that  the  individual  is  even  more  than 
that.  What  we  call  "the  self"  has  been 
the  seat  or  focal  point  of  human  evolution 
since  time  immemorial.  Human  evolu- 
tion is  still  going  on,  and  getting  to  know 
ourselves  is  a  life-long  process  that  is 
never  really  finished.  A  person  who  is 
well  oriented  within  himself  is  one  who 
is  aware  of  a  number  of  his  own  intellec- 
tual characteristics. 

His  beliefs  are  the  first  of  an  educated 
person's  intellectual  characteristics.  An 
educated  person  has  thought  about  his  be- 
liefs. There  may  be  some  absolutes  in  his 
thinking,  there  may  be  none,  or  his  be- 
liefs may  be  changing.  In  any  event,  he 
knows  the  situation. 

An  educated  person  is  aware  of  his  atti- 
tudes towards  people  and  toward  ideas  that 
are  new  or  different.  He  is  open-minded 
because  he  seeks  truth  wherever  it  may 
lead  him. 

His  interests  are  relatively  broad,  and 
he  knows  how  to  develop  new  ones.  He 
approaches  a  new  subject,  a  new  person, 
or  a  new  thing  with  sympathy  and  with 
a  willingness  to  consider  it  with  an  open 
mind.  He  has  a  liberal  or  broad  concep- 
tion of  himself  as  a  person  rather  than  as 
merely  the  performer  of  a  social  or  eco- 


JANUARY     1  9  5  f 


nomic  function.  Because  he  realizes  that 
many  things  affect  his  development  as  a 
person,   he   is   interested   in   many   things. 

Not  only  his  beliefs  but  his  purposes 
also  are  well  considered  and  in  tune  with 
the  value  judgments  he  has  made  regard- 
ing his  own  needs  and  those  of  society. 
His  abilities  are  realistically  appraised.  He 
does  not  over-estimate  himself.  He  does 
not  sell  himself  short,  and  he  has  found 
out  about  his  abilities  by  working  to  de- 
velop them.  If  he  can  write,  speak,  play 
an  instrument,  and  win  friends  and  influ- 
ence people,  we  can  be  sure  he  has  been 
working  at  these  things  for  some  time. 
This  educated  person  of  ours  also  knows 
what  he  cares  about — what  things,  what 
people,  what  ideas  he  holds  onto  most 
intensely,  what  his  deepest  drives  are.  and 
how  to  discipline  and  direct  his  emotions. 
He  understands  what  gives  him  joy  or 
sorrow  and  how  well  he  can  stand  their 
test.  He  is  not  afraid  of  love,  nor  does 
he  wallow  in  it.  He  has  developed  self- 
control. 

Formal  courses  in  the  curriculum  can 
help  us  only  partly  in  understanding  our- 
selves. Courses  in  psychology-  are  use- 
ful: and  to  the  extent  that  thej-  come  to 
grips  with  the  nature  of  human  nature. 
those  in  religion  and  literature  also  help. 
Of  paramount  importance,  however,  are 
our  relations  with  our  friends  among  the 
students  and  faculty.  The  more  one  knows 
about  himself,  the  better  he  can  control 
himself  and  live  the  life  he  really  wants 
to  live.  Self-understanding  is  a  long  step 
along  the  road  to  happiness. 

Two  other  characteristics  of  an  educated 
person  are  developed  substantially  b}-  a 
college  experience.  I  refer  to  the  posses- 
sion of  a  sj-stem.  or  scale,  of  values — 
moral,  ethical,  esthetic,  and  religious,  and 
to  the  possession  of  a  number  of  devel- 
oped personal  abilities  —  abilities  rather 
than  simply  skills.  Both  have  to  do  with 
the  relation  of  the  individual  to  the  two 
areas  in  which  he  lives — his  cultural  heri- 
tage and  the  modern  world. 

The  problem  of  values  is  unique  to  man. 
He  alone  tries  to  bring  some  kind  of  order 
out  of  everything  he  learns  from  the  past 
and  everything  he  experiences  in  the  pres- 
ent. The  ordering  of  experience  is  a  char- 
acteristic function  of  the  human  mind.  For 
example,  we  have  about  seventy  years  to 
live.  What  do  we  want  most  to  do  with 
our  lives,  and  how  do  we  achieve  our 
goals?  Value  judgments  as  to  purposes 
and  methods  enter  here.  Or,  on  a  larger 
scale,  what  should  we  as  a  nation  do  with 
atomic  energy?  This  is  a  continuing  prob- 
lem for  the  scientists,  corporations,  the 
State  Department,  and  the  A.  E.  C. 
Knowledge  itself  is  neither  good  nor  bad; 
it  is  the  use  of  knowledge  that  poses 
problems  of  value. 

Wise  value  judgments  are  not  easily 
made.  Some  people  develop  a  warped 
scale  of  values,  turn  against  society  or 
against  themselves,  and  end  up  behind 
bars  or  in  mental  institutions.  Others  de- 
velop characters  that  win  admiration  and 
support  from  millions  of  people.  .Most  of 
us  arc  found  somewhere  in  between  these 
extremes.  A  college  education  can  help 
one  to  develop  an  intelligent,  coherent  and 
high  standard  of  values. 

Formal  courses  that  help  in  developing 
values  are  those  in  philosophy,  religion, 
ethics  and  logic,  some  of  those  in  psy- 
chology, many  literature  courses,  and 
some  history  courses.  Here  again,  how- 
ever, one's  personal  contacts  and  the  ex- 
perimentation that  we  all  do  in  the  labor- 
atory of  our  personal  lives  count  heavily. 
Values  arc  t  a  u  g  h  t  by  example  from 
friends  in  real  life  as  well  as  by  those 
whom  we  meet  out  of  the  past  through 
the  medium  of  literature.  We  sec  all  kind.t 
of  values  in  utc,  Wc  must  select  the  high- 
est for  our  own.

L'Agenda 

The  first  four  characteristics  of  an  edu- 
cated person  are  those  least  discernible 
unon  first  meeting.  They  are  the  parts  of 
one's  personality  that  his  friends  appre- 
ciate, but  that  others  may  pass  by.  One 
can  use  them  to  the  full  in  those  positions 
in  which  all  sides  of  his  nature  can  be 
brought  into  play.  Personal  abilities,  on 
the  other  hand,  are  more  obvious.  Their 
possession  or  lack  of  possession  dictates 
how  well  an  individual  relates  himself  to 
the  world  around  him  as  leader  or  follow- 
er. It  is  the  balance  of  these  abilities,  in- 
nate or  developed,  when  considered  in  re- 
lation to  the  framework  supplied  by  the 
other  four  characteristics,  that  plays  a 
large  part  in  the  selection  of  a  profession 
or  vocation.  They  contribute  largeh'  to 
success  or  failure,  and  a  college  education 
is  often  equated  in  people's  minds  with 
their  development  alone.  If,  however, 
abilities  are  substituted  for  the  other  four 
aspects  that  I  have  described,  and  especial- 
ly if  skills  are  substituted  for  abilities,  we 
have  training — but  we  do  not  have  an  edu- 
cation. 

The  first  two  of  these  abilities  depend 
upon  the  educated  eye  and  the  educated  ear. 
The  ability  to  read  rapidly  and  with  under- 
standing is  fundamental  whether  we  refer 
to  prose,  poetry,  musical  notes,  or  art  in 
any  of  its  forms.  Most  of  us  are  fortunate 
if  our  eyes  enable  us  to  read  reasonably 
well  in  one  of  these  media.  Courses  re- 
quiring extensive  reading  help  to  develop 
tin-  understanding  that  comes  tlirough  the 
eye.  The  ear  similarly,  is  of  growing 
importance.  Most  people  enjoy  some 
kinds  of  music,  but  a  broader  interest  and 
understanding  can  be  developed  through 
courses  in  music  appreciation,  harmony 
and  ear  training.  The  success  of  both 
radio  and  television  depends  heavily  upon 
audial  reception.  JMijoyment  of  programs 
through  these  merlia  as  well  as  of  lectures 
depends  upon  the  level  of  understanding 
and  interest  that  one  has  developed 
through  the  ear. 

The  ability  to  express  one's  self  clearly 
and  forcefully  in  speech  and  in  writing  is 
fundamental  to  professional  effectiveness. 
I'ractice  makes  perfect.  Wc  do  not  run  (lie 
quarter  mile  under  fifty-five  seconds  the 
first  time  we  try  it;  nor  arc  we  expert  on 
the  stage,  on  the  platform,  or  in  the  niofl- 
ern  dance  in  our  first  ix^rformanre.  Cours- 
es specincally  (h-votcd  lo  writing,  speak- 
ing, atifl  aiting  are  obviously  helpful;  lint 
opporiiHiliif',  III  write  ;iMd  spc;ik  arc  avail- 


able throughout  a  university  curriculum. 
Debating  and  holding  offices  in  the  stu- 
dent body,  fraternities,  or  sororities  pro- 
vide   excellent   opportunities   for   practice. 

Clear  thinking  is  the  only  ability  that 
justifies  speaking  and  writing  in  the  first 
place.  Logical  analysis,  the  ability  to  take 
things  apart  or  reduce  them  to  their  es- 
sentials; and  logical  synthesis,  the  ability 
to  put  two  and  two  together,  to  create 
something  out  of  fragments,  are  basic 
mental  processes.  Courses  that  deal  spe- 
cifically with  these  processes  of  reasoning" 
include  those  in  philosophy,  especially  log- 
ic. One  also  must  be  exposed  to  the  scien- 
tific method  in  the  sciences.  If  one  likes 
to  put  things  together,  to  follow  his  own 
thought  processes,  then  the  courses  that 
give  individual  papers  or  projects,  or  that 
require  comprehensive  or  essay-type  ex- 
aminations will  help  him  to  strengthen  his 
ability  to  synthesize.  That  ability  is  at 
present  in  short  supply.  Unfortunately 
the  work  required  to  develop  it  caimot  be 
avoided. 

Finally  there  are  two  other  personal 
abilities — the  ability  to  understand  human 
nature  and  the  capacity  for  linking  thought 
with  action.  The  first  is  dependent  upon 
one's  sensitivity  to  other  people,  and  it 
uses  many  facts  of  one's  nature.  It  is  as 
though  countless  individual  impressions 
arc  fed  into  our  mental  "univac"  and  come 
out  a.gain  in  a  clear  picture  of  another 
person.  Understanding  of  this  sort  is  the 
act  of  relating  what  one  knows  about 
one's  self  to  what  one  knows  about  some- 
one else.  Fxperieiice.  well  understood, 
helps.  Courses  in  literature  that  give  one 
case  study  after  another  and  some  courses 
in  psychology  and  religion  are  useful, 
but  again  there  is  no  substitute  for  get- 
ting to  know  people  of  all  sorts. 

Close  linkage  of  thought  with  action  is 
what  is  meant  by  those  who  use  the  term 
"commitment  to  a  cause,"  frequently  in 
the  religious  sense.  Commitment  to  a 
cause  requires  a  firm  belief  in  the  cause. 
Ft  requires  an  emotional  drive.  It  re- 
quires an  active  intelligent  approach  In  the 
problem  of  doing  something  about  it.  If 
those  who  act  without  thinking  and  those 
who  think  without  acting  could  somehow 
undergo  recipiocal  transfusions,  i-iviliz.i 
tioii  would  progress  more  rapidly.

Dr.  Frank  G.  Davis,  Alumni  Secretary  and  Prominent 
Educator,  Passes  On 


T.  C.  Williams  '20  Elected 
to  NICB  Board 


FRANK    G.    DAVIS 


A  lamp  held  high,  its  gleam  lighting  up 
every  facet  of  the  field  of  education,  was  ex- 
tinguished when  Dr.  Frank  G.  Davis  '11, 
former  alumni  secretary  and  professor  emeri- 
tus for  31  busy  and  fruitful  years  at  Buck- 
nell  passed  away  on  October  21  at  his  home 
in  Lewisburg. 

An  alumnus  who  served  31  years  on  the 
Bu:knell  faculty  prior  to  his  retirement  in 
1955  and  for  seven  years  as  alumni  secretary 
and  editor  of  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUM- 
NUS (1943-1950),  his  long  tenure  brought 
him  into  contact  with  thousands  of  Buck- 
nellians  all  over  the  world.  He  served  as 
the  first  director  of  the  Bucknell  Alumni 
Fund,  and  it  was  he  who  conceived  the  idea 
in  1933  of  a  Bucknell  Junior  College  to  be 
located  at  Wilkes-Barre.  He  assumed  the 
responsibility  of  making  the  necessary  sur- 
veys and  setting  up  the  institution  which  was 
identified  with  Bucknell  until  1947  when  it 
became  Wilkes  College. 

His  wide  range  of  activities  in  the  educa- 
tional field  brought  him  in  contact  with  the 
leading  educational  associations  of  the  na- 
tion. He  graduated  from  Bucknell  in  1911 
with  highest  honors,  earned  a  Master  of  Arts 
degree  at  Bucknell  in  1917,  a  second  Master 
of  Arts  degree  from  Columbia  University  in 
1924  and  the  Doctor  of  Philosophy  degree 
from  New  York  University  in  1930.  He  was 
the  author  or  co-author  of  a  large  number 
of  widely  circulated  text  books  in  the  field  of 
guidance  and  pupil  personnel.  He  was  a 
member  and  president  of  numerous  state  and 
national  educational  associations.  At  the 
time  of  his  death,  he  and  Mrs.  Davis  were 
engaged  in  research  for  a  forthcoming"  book. 
On  the  day  of  his  death,  he  and  Mrs.  Davis 
had  been  at  work  in  the  Ellen  Clarke  Ber- 
trand  Library  on  the  Bucknell  campus. 

His  early  professional  experience  included 
service  as  principal  of  the  Valdez,  Alaska, 
publi"  schools,  superintendent  of  the  Au- 
burn, Washington,  public  schools  and  prin- 
cipal of  the  junior  high  school  in  Cleve- 
land, Ohio,  until  1924  when  he  became  pro- 
6 


fessor  of  education  at  Bucknell.  In  addi- 
tion to  serving  as  head  of  the  department 
of  education  from  1924  until  1952,  he  served 
Bucknell  as  director  of  the  Demonstration 
School,  director  of  admissions,  director  of 
summer  school  and  extension  work  and  in 
the  office  of  alumni  secretary  and  editor  of 
the  alumni  magazine.  He  and  Mrs.  Davis 
had  traveled  widely  in  this  country  and 
Europe,  and  he  had  served  as  visiting  pro- 
fessor at  Fresno  State  Teachers  College, 
University  of  .Arkansas  and  New  York  Uni- 
versity. He  was  listed  in  Who's  Who  in 
America.  Who's  Who  in  Education  and 
Leaders  in  Education  and  held  membership 
in  the  honorary  fraternities  of  Phi  Delta 
Kappa  and  Kappa  Phi  Kappa.  For  his  long- 
service  in  the  Suscmehanna  Valley  Council 
of  the  Boy  Scouts  of  America,  he  was  award- 
ed the  Silver  Beaver  award.  On  several 
occasions  he  was  sent  by  the  United  States 
government  to  make  surveys  of  guidance 
programs  in  several  foreign  countries.  He 
and  Mrs.  Davis  had  spent  most  of  last  year 
in  Germany  and  Spain. 

Born  in  Saginaw,  Michigan,  in  1884,  he 
was  married  to  the  former  Bess  Carnall  in 
1915.  He  is  also  survived  by  three  chil- 
dren, Carol  Lee  '38,  now  Mrs.  E.  J.  Hart, 
wife  of  Lt.  Col.  Hart  of  the  U.  S.  Air  Force 
now  stationed  at  Weisbaden,  Germany ;  Mar- 
.garet  Louise  '40  in  government  service  in 
Washington,  D.  C. ;  and  Frank  Allen  Car- 
nall '51,  public  relations  director  and  editor 
at  the  University  of  Michigan  Medical  Cen- 
ter. 

His  great  interest  in  student  affairs  and 
athletics  dated  back  to  his  own  student  days 
when  he  became  a  member  of  Delta  Sigma 
(now  Delta  Upsilon)  fraternity.  He  en- 
joyed all  sports  and  attended  most  of  the 
athletic  events  held  on  the  campus,  but  his 
greatest  recreational  interest  was  without 
doubt  his  game  of  golf,  and  he  was  able  to 
play  two  or  three  times  a  week  until  the 
time  of  his  death. 

Rev.  Morse  Bettison,  pastor  of  the  First 
Baptist  Church  of  Lewisburg,  conducted  me- 
morial services  for  Dr.  Davis  and  spoke 
briefly  on  the  verse  from  Revelation  14;13, 
■'.\nd  their  works  do  follow  them  .  .  ." 
Commenting  upon  his  career.  Rev.  Bettison 
said.  "Frank  Davis  is  one  whose  works  do 
follow  him.  Long  is  the  list  of-  his  many  ac- 
complishments and  many  contributions  in  his 
chosen  field.  Long,  too,  is  the  list  of  the 
many  recognitions  that  had  come  to  him 
because  of  his  excellence  in  his  work,  and 
his  devotion  to  interests  and  principles  in 
education  that  were  ahead  of  the  time,  lead- 
ing the  way  to  new  understanding."  In 
closing  the  memorial  service,  Rev.  Bettison 
c|Uoted  from  the  first  chapter  of  Dr.  Davis's 
Guidance  Handbook :  "  'Education  for  the 
child  becomes  an  adventure — an  adventure  in 
which  the  stoutest  heart  may  climb  to  un- 
dreamed heights.  It  is  the  privilege  of  the 
tea-her  to  accompany  him  on  this  adven- 
ture.' That  privilege  he  gave  to  others,  and 
in  doing  so  he  found  it  for  himself." 

As  a  memorial  to  Dr.  Frank  G.  Davis, 
many  of  his  friends  and  co-workers  have 
presented  gifts  to  the  Ellen  Clarke  Bertrand 
Library  for  the  purchase  of  memorial  vol- 
umes for  the  use  and  benefit  of  Bucknell 
stua-'nts.  Checks  for  such  gifts  should  be 
made  payable  to  Harold  Hayden,  Head  Li- 
brarian, Bucknell  University,  Lewisburg,  Pa.

FOR  THE  RECORD 


A  review  of  selected  items  of  interest 
concerning  people,  events  and  important 
developments  at  Bucknell  University. 


Faculty 


A  SPECIAL  FEATURE  of  the  5ord  Annual  Con- 
vention of  the  Pennsylvania  Nurses  Associa- 
tion held  in  Pittsburgh,  November  19-22,  was 
a  report  on  a  research  project  by  Dr.  \\'en- 
dell  Smith  '46,  professor  of  psychology. 

Dr.  Smith  and  his  colleagues,  William 
Carr.  assistant  professor  of  psychology-,  and 
Richard  DuWors,  professor  of  sociology, 
initiated  the  study  in  the  fall  of  1955.  The 
purpose  of  the  study  of  industrial  nurses 
was  to  locate  the  industrial  nurse  within  a 
company's  organization  and  to  describe  her 
nursing  and  non-nursing  functions  within 
that  organization.  In  performing  this  task 
it  was  necessary  to  be  concerned  with  the 
nurse  as  a  professional  working  in  an  envi- 
ronment of  laymen. 

Data  on  industrial  nursing  functions  were 
supplied  by  appro.ximately  one-half  of  the 
members  of  the  Industrial  Section  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Nurses  Association,  represen- 
tatives of  management  of  seventeen  central 
Pennsylvania  companies,  one  hundred  and 
sixty  foremen  in  these  companies,  industrial 
l)hysicians,  and  representatives  of  several  lo- 
cal and  national  trade  unions. 

.Analyses  of  the  data  were  reported  that 
evaluated  the  nurses'  present  professional 
status,  their  responsibilities  for  the  safety 
and  health  of  employees,  and  the  conflicts 
and  stresses  which  arise  as  a  result  of  the 
i'ladequate  definitions  of  their  many  roles 
in  industry. 

Recommendations  for  training  in  personnel 
techniques,  for  more  effective  communication 
among  industrial  nurses,  union  leaders,  man- 
agement, employees,  and  medical  specialists, 
and  for  developing  a  firmer  professional 
status  were  made. 


The  Nathan  C.  Schaeffer  memorial 
SCHOLARSHIP  for  the  school  year  1957-1958 
has  been  awarded  to  .\nthony  A.  Krzywicki

Bucknell  university  has  been  selected  by 
the  National  Science  Foundation  to  conduct 
a  Summer  Institute  for  High  School  Science 
Teachers.  Last  summer  Bucknell  conducted 
a  similar  institute  and  it  proved  to  be  very 
successful.  There  will  be  ap])roximaleIy 
fifty  scholarships  for  high  school  teachers 
to  attend  the  six  week  institute.  The  ob- 
jectives of  the  Institute  will  be:  (1)  to 
inijirove  tlu-  subject-matter  competence  of 
the  participating  tea '"hers ;  (2)  to  strengthen 
the  capacity  of  the  teachers  for  motivating 
able  students  to  consider  careers  in  science ; 
(3)  to  bring  the  teachers  into  personal  con- 
tact with  the  prominent  scientists  who  make 
up  the  stafl'  of  the  institute  and  the  visiting 
lectin-ers,  with  a  view  to  stimulating  their 
interest  and  increasing  their  prestige  profes- 
sionally; and  (4)  to  elTect  greater  mutual 
nnderslanding  and  ap]ireciation  of  each  oth- 
er's tea''hing  problems  among  teachers  of 
science  al  both  the  high  school  ;md  college 
levels.

ASSIGNMENT  IN  MEXICO 


By  Babbaba  C.  Segelken  '52 


MEET  THE  AUTHOR— Barbara  C. 
Segelken  icas  a  dean's  list  student  and 
a  member  of  Phi  Alpha  Pi,  Sigma  Tan 
Delta,  Alpha  Lambda  Delta,  and  Phi 
Alpha  Theta.  She  zvas  also  a  member 
of  the  Christian  Association,  IVo- 
meii's  Glee  Club,  Mixed  Chorus,  Pa)i- 
helleiiie  Council  and  personalities  edi- 
tor of  the  L'Agcnda.  She  appeared  as 
Elizabeth  Bolin  in  the  Cap  and  Dagger 
production  of  "Ann  of  the  Thousand 
Days." 

After  graduation  she  attended  Kath- 
erine  Gibbs  Secretarial  school  in  Nezv 
York  and  served  as  class  reporter  for 
her  Class  of  1952  prior  to  her  assigti- 
■meut  at  the  American  Embassy  in 
Mexico.  Upon  her  return  from  Mexi- 
co she  becmne  a  secretary  with  the 
Kndner  Agency,  Inc.  in  New  York. 


IN  SEPTEMBER  of  1954,  I  set  off  for 
Washington  D.  C.  as  a  junior  member  of 
the  Diplomatic  Corps.  I  had  wild-eyed 
dreams  of  diplomatic  receptions  and  intimate 
dinners  for  ISO.  I  could  see  myself  sweeping 
down  majestic  staircases  with  handsome  but 
unidentified  gentlemen  on  my  arm,  gowned  in 
sparkling  white  —  me,  not  the  gentlemen. 
Then,  of  course,  there  would  be  the  leisure- 
ly cruise  to  my  point  of  assignment,  most 
likely  prefaced  by  a  large  shipboard  party. 

There  ivere  receptions  and  dinners  among 
the  diplomatic  in  Mexico  City.  I  know  be- 
cause I  read  about  them  in  the  local  news- 
papers. 


The  cruise  turned  out  to  be  a  plane  ride 
which  began  on  the  windiest  morning  in 
Washington's  sturdy  history  and  culminated, 
some  eight  hours  "later,  with  a  landing  in 
what  looked  like  a  lake.  Later  I  found  out 
that  it  was  a  lake  and  that  Mexico  City  was 
built  on  it. 

Undoubtedly,  there  are  the  bored  sophisti- 
cates among  us  who  have  signed  up  for  a 
tour  in  the  Foreign  Service  with  about  the 
same  degree  of  calm  they  use  to  board  the 
Lackawanna  Ferry.  Regrettably  I  was  not 
one  of  these.  From  the  time'  we  narrowly 
missed  the  lake  and  found  the  airport,  until 
I  lost  my  baggage  in  Nuevo  Laredo  on  the 
way  home,  I  was  never  bored. 

About  the  closest  I  came  to  sophistication 
was  in  handling  the  lawyers  of  the  wife  of 
a  man  who  shot  himself  on  the  top  of  a  local 
volcano ;  while  another  wife,  who  had  turned 
up  via  Oklahoma  City,  sat  across  the  room ; 
and  the  files  revealed  that  the  third  wife 
had  absconded  with  the  household  effects 
and  at  that  precise  moment  was  probably 
crossing  the  border  into  Guatemala. 

After  this,  I  spent  a  quiet  week-end  in 
Veracruz,  chasing  the  wildlife  (native  to 
the  region)  about  my  sleeping  quarters  and 
waiting  for  the  "norte"  to  break.     It  did. 

I  was  assigned  to  the  Office  of  Protection 
and  Welfare  of  the  American  Embassy, 
Mexico,  D.  F.,  Mexico.  The  "D.  F."  means 
in  Spanish  approximately  what  the  "D.  C." 
after  Washington  means  to  us.  None  of 
the  tourists  who  called  us  were  ever  quite 
certain  what  any  of  it  meant. 

Having  never  mastered  the  rudiments  of 
English  grammar  myself,  I  was  naturally 
encouraged  to  discover  that  most  Americans 


have  not  done  so  either.  Time  after  time 
I  picked  up  the  phone  to  hear  that  the  frantic 
party  on  the  other  end  would  "like  to  find 
out  some  information."  I  was  in  Mexico 
for  almost  two  years  and  never  "found  out" 
any,  but  I  kept  trying  valiantly  nonetheless. 
One  of  the  consuls  recites  the  classic  of  a 
disturbed  tourist  who  called  him  one  morn- 
ing at  3:15  to  inquire  "which  of  these  pills 
am  I  supposed  to  take?"  The  answer,  also 
undoubtedly  a  classic,  has  never  been  re- 
vealed to  me.  I  imagine  it  rests  in  one  of 
those  voluminous  folders  marked  "CONFI- 
DENTIAL." 

There  were,  of  course,  numerous  very  real 
tragedies  which  came  to  our  attention  either 
directly  or  indirectly;  but  eventually  I  be- 
came accustomed  to  stepping  over  the  effects 
of  the  deceased  as  I  made  my  way  to  our 
file  room.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  my  first 
introduction  to  the  Protection  Department 
was  the  sight  of  a  dignified  bachelor  vice- 
consul  intoning  over  a  suitcase,  "Three  pair 
pink  panties  .  .  ." 

I  have  never  been  particularly  impressed 
by  the  necessity  for  caution  on  the  highway 
or  at  the  seashore.  I  have  been  made  ex- 
tremely aware  of  both  these  factors  since 
my  stay  in  Mexico.  The  majority  of  our 
tourists,  however,  came  and  went  in  perfect 
safetv.  I  add  this  because  I  seem  to  feel 
the  liot  breath  of  the  Mexican  Tourist  Bu- 
reau on  the  back  of  my  neck. 

I  should  say  something  about  the  altitude. 
I  don't  know  why  except  that  everyone  who 
has  been  to  Mexico  City  does  say  something 
about  it.  We  were  almost  8,000  feet  above 
the  sea,  surrounded  by  peaks  of  considerably 
greater  elevation.  Contrary  to  popular 
opinion,  however,  complete  collapse  is  not 
generally  brought  about  by  stepping  up  into 
a  taxi  cab.  We  didn't  ascend  the  stairs  at 
a  fast  trot,  but  then  we  didn't  come  down 
that  way  either.  Occasionally  we  went  to 
Cuernavaca,  where  we  spent  the  day  breath- 
ing again ;  and  a  trip  to  seacoast  points,  such 
as  Veracruz  or  Acapulco,  was  somewhat 
exhausting.  But,  in  general,  the  only  palpi- 
tations I  had,  occurred  when  Rock  Hudson 
wandered  into  the  office  one  quiet  afternoon, 
looking  for  some  way  to  get  out  of  the  coun- 
try minus  the  car  he  had  brought  into  the 
country  and  without  which  he  could  not 
leave  the  country.  Unfortunately,  there 
seemed  to  be  no  way  in  which  I  could  delay 
his  inevitable  progress  toward  the  airport. 
Most  of  our  other  customers  were  not 
quite  so  famous,  although  in  their  own  quiet, 
or  not-so-quiet,  ways  they  were  just  as  fas- 
cinating. There  was  the  elderly  gentleman 
with  the  long  white  beard  who  arrived  in 
Mexico  with  two  cars  and  several  hungry 
dogs  and  whose  purpose  in  coming  was  to 
establish  a  peace  colony.  I  can't  recall  his 
actual  name  but,  we  dubbed  him  "St.  Peter." 
I  do  recall,  vividly,  that  he  always  turned 
up  in  tennis  shoes  and  faded  blue  denims, 
with  a  rope  about  his  waist. 

Another  bewildered  citizen  turned  up  in 
our  offices  and  after  cautious  inquiries,  it  was 
discovered  that  she  had  strayed  from  her 
room  in  a  Southwestern  mental  establishment 
and  by  some  unknown  process  had  made  her 
way,  naturally  enough,  to  the  American  Em- 
bassy in  Mexico  City.  We  returned  her  with 
pleasure. 

Then  there  were  delegations  from  Kansas 
City  and  Houston  and  Buffalo,  seeking  infor- 
mation that  almost  any  normal  traveler  has 
to  have  in  a  foreign  land  such  as  "where  is

J\MONG  THE  CLUBS. 


ATTENTION 
PHILADELPHIANS 

Alumni  and  friends  of  the  Buck- 
nell  Alumni  Club  of  Philadelphia 
circle  the  night  of  January  31  on 
your  calendar  today  1  The  club  will 
hold  its  annual  dinner  at  the  Union 
League  with  Dr.  Wesley  X.  Haines, 
director  of  development,  as  the 
main  speaker  of  the  evening.  Join 
us  for  an  evening  of  Bucknell  fel- 
lowship. 


MICHIGAN-TOLEDO  — On  Saturday 
afternoon.  November  2,  forty  Bucknell- 
ians  along  with  90,000  other  football  fans. 
were  treated  to  a  tremendous  football 
game  at  Michigan  Stadium  in  Ann  Arbor 
between  the  L'niversity  of  Michigan  and 
Iowa.  Thanks  to  the  kind  co-operation 
of  our  Bucknell  friends  at  the  L'niversity 
of  Michigan — we  were  furnished  excellent 
50  yard  line  seats  to  witness  the  "big 
game."  Both  teams  were  up  for  this  game 
and  the  final  tie  score  of  21-21  shows  the 
brand  of  football  played  in  the  Big  Ten 
Conference.  Out  here,  football  is  "king." 
All  of  us  loyal  Bucknell  fans  here  in  these 
parts  hope  to  hear  that  the  Bisons  will 
again  be  up  there  with  the  best  of  the 
teams  in  the  East  like  thej-  were  in  1951. 
After  the  game  we  were  invited  to  the 
home  of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Charles  C.  Fries, 
in  Ann  Arbor,  for  a  delicious  fried  chicken 
dinner  with  all  the  trimmings.  A  real 
warm  friendly  evening  was  enjoyed  b3'  all 
of  us  talking  over  the  good  old  days  at 
Bucknell  and  catching  up  on  the  latest 
news  from  those  members  who  had  been 
back  to  the  campus  recently.  Many  of 
our  club  members  who  regularly  attend 
were  with  us.  and  as  always,  we  were  glad 
to  see  some  new  Bucknell  faces.  During 
the  evening,  tentative  plans  were  discussed 
for  our  future  meetings  with  the  pros- 
pects of  even  bigger  and  better  things  to 
come  in  1958  for  all  our  alumni  and 
friends  living  in  the  Michigan-Toledo 
area.

BU  Cagers  Get  Off  On  Right  Foot 


Coach  Ben  Kribbs'  basketeers  did  their 
job  well  against  F  &  M  in  their  season 
opener,  winning  by  a  68-56  count.  The 
contest  was  featured  by  a  33-point  out- 
burst by  co-captain  Ellis  Harley.  He  was 
connecting  from  every  spot  on  the  Davis 
Gym  floor  with  a  variety  of  shots.  As  a 
team  the  Herd  still  showed  some  kinks. 
The  attack  was  not  especially  awesome 
despite  Harley's  performance  but  the  in- 
gredients were  definitely  there. 

At  Hamilton,  N.  Y.,  it  was  Hal  Danzig's 
turn  to  don  the  hero's  mantle.  The  6:06, 
22S-pound  center  zipped  in  31  points  as 
the  Bisons  breezed  to  a  70-66  victorv  over 
Colgate.  The  BU  dribblers  still  weren't 
as  sharp  as  they  could  be,  but  they  were 
getting  better. 

The  next  night  at  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  Buck- 
nell  suffered  through  12  minutes  of  its 
game  with  Cornell  with  a  mere  three 
points.  After  the  Big  Red  had  assumed  its 
overwhelming  22-3  margin,  however,  the 
Herd  commenced  to  play  ball  .  .  .  better, 
in  fact,  than  it  had  played  at  any  time  this 
3'Oung  season. 

Danzig  and  Jack  Flanegan  suffered  "off" 
nights  in  the  siiooting  department  but  it 
was  felt  that  sophomore  guard  Tommy 
Thompson  had  arrived  as  a  regular,  whip- 
ping in  four  field  goals  in  the  second  half 
surge  that  fell  six  points  short  and  re- 
turned Cornell  a  64-58  winner. 

Harley,  Danzig  and  Flanegan  loom  as 
the  power  men  in  the  Bucknell  attack. 
They're  the  guys  who  will  supply  the 
bulk  of  the  points.  Thompson  may  or  may 
not  develop  a  healthy  wallop  of  his  own 
before  the  campaign  is  historjr.  Bob 
Ericsson,  the  fifth  starter,  is  due  to  begin 
producing  points  on  a  large  scale  but  he's 
been  slow  to  regain  his  form  thus   far. 

John  Strizzi  has  already  demonstrated 
his  value  as  a  backcourt  sub.  He  injects 
hustle  and  drive  into  the  club  when  it's 
badly  needed  and  he's  usually  good  for  a 
few  important  points  in  ever^'  tussle.  The 
scrappy  senior  has  also  been  successful 
at  bottling  up  a  high-scoring  foe. 

One  of  the  Herd's  most  improved  per- 
formers has  been  Bill  Wooster,  who  has 
been  relieving  the  big  men  up  front.  Bill 
could  always  run  and  leap  and  now  he's 
learning  how  to  play  the  game.  Possess- 
ing a  better  than  fair  jump  shot,  he  tallied 
four  points  in  each  of  the  last  two  con- 
tests, 

Co-captain  Skip  Wieder,  who  was  unan- 
imously elected  to  the  position  for  the 
second  straight  year,  has  both  started  and 
subbed   at   forward   and   guard.      He    still 


HAROLD    "MOOSE"    DANZIG    '59 


boasts   the  team's   best  set   shot  and  is   a 
valuable  man  to  have  around. 

In  the  backcourt  senior  Bob  Salankie- 
wicz  and  sophomore  Pete  Matz  have  im- 
pressed in  short  stints.  Bob  is  a  depend- 
able defender  and  playmaker,  while  Pete, 
who  led  the  frosh  with  314  points  last  year, 
is  a  scrapper  who  could  give  the  offense 
a  jolt  now  and  then. 

Bob  Horn,  another  sophomore,  has 
seen  only  brief  action  against  F  &  M  and 
didn't  have  much  of  a  chance  to  show 
vvhat  he  could  do,  but  he's  been  toiling 
diligently  in  the  scrimmage  sessions,  us- 
ually opposing  Danzig,  and  figures  to  be 
ready  when  called  upon. 

With  a  murderous  schedule  ahead  the 
Bucknell  basketeers  may  need  all  the  man- 
power they  can  muster.  The  Bisons  should 
be  able  to  hold  their  own  if  the  rebound- 
ing and  defensive  play  doesn't  slacken. 
It  isn't  likely  that  the  Herd  will  blossom 
into  a  high-scoring  outfit.  The  Kribbs- 
men  will  win  by  taking  only  the  good 
shots,  making  40%  of  them  count,  and 
playing  tough  defense.  It  should  be  a 
most  interesting  winter  on  the  hardwood. 


Hope  for  Football  Future  Based  On  Current  Sophs 


The  hope  that  has  to  spring  eternally 
for  Bucknell  football  comes  now  in  the 
form  of  a  group  of  spirited,  industrious 
sophomores  who  believe  that  they  are 
good  enough  and  tough  enough  to  turn 
the  gridiron  tide  in  the  Bisons'  favor. 

The  Herd's  last  victory  of  1957  was 
notched  in  the  fourth  game  on  the  sched- 
ule, a  13-7  conquest  of  Carnegie  Tech. 
After  that,  the  Orange  and  Blue  dropped 
successive  verdicts  to  Boston  University 
28-0;  Lafayette,  35-13;  Lehigh,  27-0;  Col- 
gate, 32-0;  and  Delaware,  34-13. 

Seniors  who  played  their  last  game 
against  the  Blue  Hens  were  backs  Bob 
Fitzsimmons,  Bruce  Nealv,  Terry  Fetter- 
man,  Jack  Brothers  and  Chuck  Wagner, 
and  linemen  Gene  Meenan,  Bob  Holmes, 
Bill  Walasek,  Rogers  Frassenei,  Bill  Reil- 
ly,  Jay  Citron  and  Edge  Deuel.     Fitzsim- 

10 


mons,  Meenan  and  Frassenei  rated  as 
three  of  the  team's  top  performers.  Full- 
back Fitz  banged  out  598  yards  rushing 
to  lead  the  Bisons  on  the  offense,  while 
Meenan  ^t  guard  and  Frassenei  at  end 
were  defensive  standouts. 

The  Herd's  future  progress  with  the 
pigskin  has  been  inherited  by  a  band  of 
sophomore  hustlers.  The  main  cogs  in 
the  resurgence  figure  to  be  quarterback 
Dennis  Cox,  guard  George  Salinger  and 
end  Jim  Brady.  An  injury  forced  Cox 
to  miss  the  Delaware  finale,  but  he  still 
completed  12  of  iZ  passes  for  272  yards 
and  proved  a  hard  nut  to  crack  on  de- 
fense. Salinger  played  rugged  defensive 
ball  all  season  but  saved  his  best  all- 
around  performance  for  the  Blue  Hens. 
Brady,  the  converted  tackle,  hauled  in  12 
aerials   to  pace   the   team   and   gained   116 


yards.  These  boys  are  firebrands  and 
keen  competitors  and  present  excellent 
material  to  build  around.  It  becomes  coach 
Harry  Lawrence's  unenviable  task  to  pro- 
vide his  supercharged  sophs  with  some 
talented  playmates. 

Other  sophomores  who  could  develop 
next  autumn  include  backs  Clint  Gilkey 
and  Ray  Hettche;  centers  Larry  Mathias, 
John  Bergfeld  and  Rodger  Mutzel;  guards 
Charlie  Negron  and  Larrj-  Claycomb: 
tackle  Bob  Patzwall;  and  ends  John 
l'"achus  and  Doug  Forsyth. 

Juniors  expected  to  make  the  greatest 
contributions  to  Bucknell's  gridiron  cause 
in  1958  are  halfback  Charlie  Apgar,  cen- 
ter Mike  Hixson  and  guard  Lew  Hart. 

Since  the  season  closed  in  mid-Novem- 
her  Lawrence  and  his  able  assistants,  Bill 
Wrabley  and  Rod  Oberlin,  have  been  go- 
ing over  plans  for  next  fall.  There's  no 
rest  for  the  weary  in  football  and  the 
l5ison  staff  remains  almost  as  busy  as  it 
was  during  the  battle  days  of  September, 
I  )ctober  and  November. 

Soccermen  Post  3-6-1  Mark 

Coach  Hank  Peters'  hooters  lost  three 
of  their  last  four  games  and  finished  three 
games  below  the  .500  mark.  On  only  two 
occasions  were  the  inexperienced  Bisons 
badly  mauled,  however,  Penn  State 
trouncing  the  Herd.  10-0,  in  the  opener 
and  Drexel's  Middle  Atlantic  Conference 
kings  applying  the  whitewash,  6-0,  in  game 
number  eight. 

In  between  the  Bucknellians  fared  pret- 
ty well  for  a  batch  of  raw  recruits,  lick- 
ing Delaware,  4-0,  and  Hofstra,  2-1,  and 
deadlocking  Wilkes,  i-i.  The  remaining 
triumph  was  a  2-1  job  on  Muhlenberg  that 
followed  the  Drexel  setback. 

Defeats  were  sustained  at  the  hands  of 
Temple,  2-1;  Gettysburg,  1-0;  Elizabeth- 
town,  3-1;  and  F  &  M.  3-2. 

Larry  O'Hara  and  Lee  Lawver  each 
produced  three  goals  to  lead  the  Bisons' 
offense,  while  Roger  Mackey  and  Al 
Jackson  distinguished  themselves  with 
some  fine  defensive  work. 


Bucknell  Swimmers  Face  Eight  Foes 

After  dropping  decisions  to  Franklin 
and  Marshall,  Dickinson  and  Gettysburg, 
Bucknell's  first  tank  team  in  history 
knocked  off  Delaware's  squad,  52-33,  in 
the  Freas-Rooke  Pool  and  closed  its  sea- 
son on  an  encouraging  note  last  Febru- 
ary. 

As  befitting  an  improving  outfit,  Buck- 
nell's swim  schedule  has  been  expanded 
from  four  to  eight  meets.  At  the  end  of 
February  the  University  will  be  host  to 
the  annual  Middle  Atlantic  Conference 
tests. 

Tabbed  by  Coach  Bob  Latour  as  key 
men  for  the  Bisons  in  the  water  this  win- 
ter are  junior  sprinters  Bill  Schreiber,  Ar- 
lington, N.  J.  and  co-captain  Bill  Barrett, 
Mountain  Lakes,  N.  J.;  breaststroker 
Bruce  Hutchinson,  a  junior  and  co-cap- 
tain from  Rye,  N.  Y.;  junior  backstroker 
Bob  Buys,  West  Saybile,  N.  Y.;  junior 
distance  specialist  Bill  Sharkey,  White- 
stone,  N.  Y.;  and  sophomore  diver  Doug 
Forsyth,   North  Tonawanda,   N.   Y.

Baby  Bison  Gridders  Drop  Four 

After  being  bowled  over  by  F  &  M, 
14-7,  and  Gettysburg,  34-0,  in  their  first 
two  starts,  coach  Bob  Latour's  frosh  foot- 
ballers showed  steady  improvement 
through  the  remainder  of  the  season.  They 
were  unable,  however,  to  check  in  with 
a  victory,  losing  to  Bloomsburg's  Ja\-vees, 
13-6,  and  Lehigh's  yearlings,   13-7, 

Fullback  Paul  Terhes,  a  Valley  Forge 
Military  Academj-  product,  rammed  across 
for  Bucknell's  first  two  touchdowns  of  the 
fall,  while  the  six-pointer  against  Lehigh 
was  supplied  by  halfback  Marty  Pope,  a 
pint-sized  speedster  from  Sunbury  who 
scampered   75  yards  to  pa\'-dirt.

Seven  Matches  Slated  From 
Wrabley's  Wrestlers 

Despite  the  loss  of  star  heavyweight  Bill 
Benton,  who  was  unbeaten  in  seven  tests 
last  winter,  Bucknell  wrestling  coach  Bill 
Wrabley  is  optimistic  about  his  team's 
chances  this  season.  It  will  be  meetin.g 
the  same  opponents  that  captured  four  of 
seven  matches  with  the  Bisons  a  year  a,go. 

Senior  Larry  Dempster,  a  157-pounder 
from  St.  Charles,  who  won  three  of  four 
brawls  last  season,  and  junior  Rowland 
Bell,  a  Lynbrook,  N.  Y,  product,  who 
finished  with  a  4-2  mark  at  147-pounds 
as  a  soph,  are  expected  to  form  the  nu- 
cleus of  the  Bucknell  squad. 

Coach  Wrabley  and  his  able  assistant. 
Franny  Hatton.  have  high  hopes  for  a 
trio  of  sophomores  who  displa3'ed  good 
form  as  freshmen  last  year.  Pete  Fritts. 
Andover.  X.  J.:  John  .-\3-re,  Bethlehem; 
and  Dave  Murdock.  DuBois,  are  the  new- 
comers who  could  earn  varsity  berths. 
The  coaching  staff's  main  task  at  the  mo- 
ment is  to  develop  capable  entries  for  the 
177-pound  and  heavyweight  brackets.

A  View  Toward  Admissions 

(Continued  from  Page  3) 
ginning  to  recognize  that  this  is  an  invest- 
ment in  their  future  for  which  sacrifices 
are  worthwhile.  The  21  year  old  who 
buys  his  first  car  on  time  should  become 
equally  aware  of  the  economic  advantage 
in  borrowing  to  finance  his  education.  He 
should  not  expect  society  to  furnish  him 
with  this  at  no  cost  to  himself  or  to  his 
family.  .Statistics  show  that  the  college 
graduate  benefits  eco.iomically  from  his 
education.  He  should  expect  to  pay 
enough  lor  this  service  to  adequately  com- 
pensate the  teachers  who  are  helping  him 
to   improve   his   earning  power. 

Our  present  admissions  policy  suggests 
that  students  file  their  applications  in  the 
-ummcr  preceding  or  the  first  half  of  the 
-enior  year.  Consideration  is  given  to  the 
;>ersonal  f|ualities  of  the  applicant  as  re- 
.  '-aled  in  his  application,  test  scores, 
-chool  record,  school  recommendations, 
and  participation  in  school  and  commu- 
nity life.  A  personal  interview,  though 
not  rcf|uircd,  is  highly  desirable.  The 
major  selection  is  announced  late  in  April 
or  early  in  May. 

Bucknell's  admissions  program  is  manv- 
•.ided.  Inquiries  by  mail  result  from  con- 
versation with  enrolled  students  and  Ihcir 
parents,  with  alumni,  school  counselors, 
teachers,  and  from  the  listifig  of  Bucknell 
in  various  college  blue  books.  .Some  alum-

GRIT  BUCKNELLIANS — Left  to  Right:      Bruce  L.  Swanger  '51;  Kenneth  D.  Rhone  '29;  Paul   E.   Fink  '29; 

and  Andrew  W.  Stabler,  Jr.  '51. 


Thirty-two  years  ago,  Kenneth  D,  Rhone 
'29,  of  Williamsport,  and  Paul  E.  Fink  '29, 
of  Jeannette,  met  in  Al  G.  Stoughton's  Buck- 
nell Alumni  office.  Both  were  freshmen. 
Ken  had  been  hired  to  write  football  pub- 
licity, then  supervised  by  the  alumni  office. 
Paul  was  employed  in  filing  and  clerical 
assignments. 

Today,  these  two  former  Bucknellians 
(Ken  went  on  to  graduate  from  the  Univer- 
sity of  Michigan ;  Paul  remained  to  receive 
his  Bucknell  diploma  in  1929)  are  two  of 
the  top  executives  in  one  of  the  nation's 
most  unusual  enterprises.  Grit,  published  at 
Williamsport,  is  "America's  Greatest  Family 
Newspaper,"  with  a  distribution  of  nearly  a 
million  copies  a  week  in  16,000  communities 
in  every  state.  Ken  is  the  editor,  and  Paul 
is  the  circulation  manager. 

Established  by  the  late  Dietrick  Lamade. 
and  managed  since  his  death  in  1938  by  his 
sons,  George  R.  and  Howard  J.  Lamade, 
Grit  observed  its  7Sth  anniversary  December 
16.  Both  Lamades  have  long  been  leaders 
in  Williamsport  civic  affairs  as  well  as  in- 
fluential newspaper  publishers.  Ken  and 
Paul,  too,  have  busied  themselves  in  Wil- 
liamsport community  life  since  embarking 
upon  newspaper  careers,  and  Paul  has  found 
time  for  active  interest,  and  leadership,  in 
Bucknell  alumni  affairs. 


Ken's  daughter,  Sherry,  a  Bucknell  sopho- 
more, lives  this  term  in  Hulley  House,  the 
same  residence  of  her  father  during  his  soph- 
omore year  at  Bucknell.  Hulley  was  then 
the  Demie  house  of  Delta  Sigma,  which 
preceded  the  present  D.  V.  on  the  hill. 

Ken  is  a  DU  and  Paul  a  member  of  Sigma 
Chi.  He  will  be  featured  in  an  early  issue 
of  the  Sigma  Chi  publication. 

Other  Bucknellians  employed  by  the  WiK 
liamsport  publication  include  Andrew  W. 
Stabler.  Jr.,  of  Montoursville,  who  is  an  as- 
sistant to  Paul  Fink  in  the  circulation  de- 
partment of  Grit.  Andy  graduated  from 
Bucknell  in  1951  and  distinguished  himself 
as  a  fleet  half-back  on  the  Bison  squad.  He 
was  a  member  of  Kappa  Phi  Kappa,  national 
educational  fraternity  for  men.  He  is  now 
married  and  serves  his  local  alumni  club  as 
an  officer  and  worker  in  the  personal  solici- 
tation program  for  the  Bucknell  Alumni 
Fund, 

Bruce  L.  Swanger  '51,  who  formerly  did 
free  lance  writing  and  newspaper  work  for 
the  Union  County  Standard  Journal  and  the 
Sunbnry  Daily  Item  is  the  new  state  editor 
of  Grit.  His  campus  activities  included  ser- 
vice on  the  staff  of  Thr  lUickncllian  and  the 
radio  workshop. 


est  is  often  aroused  by  a  chance  trip  lo 
the  Lewisliurg  area.  ICach  year  represen- 
tatives of  the  college  visit  secondary 
schools  attending  college  nights  or  meet- 
ing students  during  the  day  by  apjioint- 
ment. 

The  future  will  Miulciulilcclly  1)  r  i  ii  f,; 
changes.  Alumni  with  children  coming  of 
college  age,  or  who  are  interested  in  f)tlur 
young  people  thinking  of  college,  will  do 
well  to  urge  Ihem  to  take  a  thorough  col- 
lege preparatory  course,  to  make  a  good 
recorrl.  to  arcunnilate  savings  lo  help  fi- 
nance the  expense  of  an  education,  and 
to  reach  for  the  college  of  the  right  type 
— liberal  arts  or  technical;  men's,  wo- 
men's, or  co-erlurational;  rural,  small 
town,  or  city  location;  large,  medium,  or 
small    stufl'Ml    bofly;    near    or    away    from 


home,  etc.  They  should  help  them  visit 
the  schools  of  greatest  interest  and  weigh 
carefully  the  costs  with  or  without  schol- 
arship, work  aid,  or  loans. 

,\  student  who  first  studies  himself  and 
liis  own  needs  will  havi'  little  difficulty  in 
finding  the  right  college.  While  he  should, 
of  course,  make  his  own  choice,  he  should 
make  it  only  after  he  has  consulted  his 
school  counselor  and  his  parents.  When 
the  choice  is  a  careful  one,  Ijased  upon  all 
f.'LCtors,  the  likelihood  of  acceptance  is 
greatly  enhanced.  Of  even  greater  im- 
portance is  the  fact  that  the  student  who 
is  satisfied  with  his  selection  of  a  college, 
is  most  apt  to  do  his  best  work.  Today,  a 
second  chance  in  another  college,  especial- 
ly in  the  ICast,  is  seldom  fipen  to  a  stuiUnl

RALPH    F.    DAVENPORT 

On  August  31,  1957,  Mr.  Ralph  F.  Dav- 
enport principal  of  the  Ardmore  Avenue 
Elementary  School  for  33  years,  retired. 
Mr  Davenport  left  the  Lower  Menon 
schools  with  the  best  wishes  of  his  col- 
leagues for  many  happy  years  of  retire- 
ment. 

Throughout  his  school  career  he  won 
the  admiration  of  teachers,  parents  and 
pupils  for  his  educational  leadership  and 
human   understanding. 

Ralph  began  his  teaching  career  in  Car- 
lisle where  he  taught  high  school  mathe- 
matics for  four  years.  In  1916  he  becarne 
supervising  principal  of  Myerstown  public 
schools  and  served  in  that  position  for 
eight  years  when  he  came  to  Lower  Merion 
as  principal  of  the  Ardmore  Avenue  Ele- 
mentary School.  For  one  and  a  half  years 
he  was  principal  of  both  the  Ardmore  Ave- 
nue and  the  Merion  Square  schools.  From 
1926  to  1930  he  served  as  the  administrator 
of  the  Wynnewood  Road  Elementary 
School  while  he  continued  as  principal  of 
the  Ardmore  Avenue  school.  For  six 
years  he  was  principal  of  the  sumrner 
school  sponsored  by  the  junior  and  senior 
high  schools. 

Ralph  secured  all  his  professional  train- 
ing in  Pennsylvania  universities.  He  was 
granted  both  his  bachelor's  and  master's 
degree  by  Bucknell  University.  He  did 
graduate  "work  beyond  the  master's  degree 
at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  and 
Pennsylvania   State  University. 

The  Freedom  Foundation  Certificate  of 
Merit  Award  was  presented  to  the  Ard- 
more school  in  June.  The  award  is  in 
recognition  of  the  citizenship  program 
which  has  been  conducted  for  many  years 
at  the  school  under  Ralph's  direction.  The 
presentation  was  made  to  Davenport  by 
Joseph  R.  Fugett,  assistant  to  the  presi- 
dent of  Freedom's  Foundation  located  at 
Valley    Forge. 

Since  the  Ardmore  Avenue  school  pro- 
gram was  started  in  May,  1944,  daily 
readings  about  incidents  in  the  lives  of 
ISO  of  the  nation's  great  figures  have  been 
conducted  by  the  pupil  historians  in  each 
of  the  fourth,  fifth  and  sixth  grade  rooms. 
As  a  leader  in  the  community,  Ralph 
has  made  many  contributions  to  the  wel- 
fare of  Lower  Merion  citizens.  He  has 
been,  and  still  is,  a  member  of  the  troop 
committee  of  Boy  Scout  Troop  No.  5, 
Ardmore.  He  is  a  past  president  of  the 
Ardmore  Rotary  Club.  At  present  he  is 
charge-lay  reader  of  the  Ardmore  Meth- 
odist Church.  For  a  number  of  years  he 
was  president  of  the  board  of  trustees  and

Bucknellians. 

ST  PETERSBURG  —  The  Bucknell 
\lumni  Club  of  St.  Petersburg  met  at 
the  home  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  George  Bailets 
'09  on  December  7,  at  noon,  for  a  covered 
dish  luncheon.     There  were  21  present. 

We  welcomed  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Frank 
Jenner  '10  to  our  group.  Frank  has  been 
an  educator  in  the  city  of  Rochester,  N.  Y.. 
for  many  vears  and  has  many  fine  ideas 
in  the  field  of  education,  gleaned  from 
years  of  experience.  He  gave  us  a  very 
interesting  address. 

Mrs.  Carolyn  Shaw  Freeman  '37.  of 
Boston,  Mass.,  dropped  in  for  a  short 
time.  The  H.  G.  Florins  '09  have  moved 
to  our  city,  living  at  7809  South  Causway 
Blvd. 

Dr.  and  Mrs.  Earle  Edwards  '10  were 
called  north  last  May  to  attend  the  dedi- 
cation of  the  "Earle  Edwards  Fellowship 
Hall,"  erected  bv  the  Queens  Baptist 
Church,  Queens  Co.,  L.  I.,  N.  Y.  He  was 
pastor  there  for  27  years.  Bucknell  can 
be  proud  of  this  honor  bestowed  upon  one 
of  her  graduates. 

The  dinner  honoring  President  Merle 
M.  Odgers  will  be  held  January  10,  at

Secretary 


left    Mexico    City    at    8:20    on    a    Saturday 
morning  along  about  November,   1956. 

It  took  about  a  month  to  unpack  and  polish 
up  the  Mexican  silver.  Then  my  family 
suggested  that  I  seek  gainful  employ.  I 
purchased  a  gray  flannel  suit ;  walked  around 
Madison  Avenue ;  ended  up  with  the  Kiidner 
Agency,  Inc.,  where  I  am  currently  selling  a 
superior  motor  car  from  afar.  Very  far  at 
the  moment.  But  I  am  constantly  hopeful. 
It's  pretty  busy  here.  The  phone  hasn't 
stopped  ringing"  since  I  came  and  there  are 
quantities  of  people_in  various  stages  of  dis- 
tress, usually  at  4  :55  p.  m. 

I  find,  however,  that  the  word  "Congress- 
man" no  longer  causes  shivers  along  the 
spine,  and  I  can  look  at  travel  posters  with- 
out flinching.  Sometimes,  when  I  answer 
the  telephone,  the  magic  words  "Protection 
Office"  leap  into  my  mind  and  have  to  be 
surpressed;  but  otherwise.  Mexico  seems 
very  far  away. 

Entry  permits  are  available  at  all^  lead- 
ing airports  and  on  my  next  vacation,  I 
might  just  .  .  . 


Assignment  in  Mexico 

(Continued  from  Page  8) 
the  local  chapter  of  the  Eastern  Star?"  Our 
clients  were  also  interested  in  avoiding  any 
and  all  local  ailments.  The  one  I  contracted, 
however,  had  not  the  remotest  connection 
with  things  Mexican. 

I  woke  up  with  a  textbook  case  of  the 
chicken  pox  one  morning  as  the  rainy  season 
was  drawing  to  a  close.  For  a  few  days 
I  thought  I  was  also  drawing  to  a  close. 
After  the  physician  stopped  rolling  on  the 
floor,  we  got  down  to  business  involving 
calamine  lotion  (I  think  he  thought  it  was 
really  Poison  Ivy),  staying  in  bed  and  be- 
ing patient.  I  managed  to  transmit  my  active 
germs  to  one  Embassy  family  which  included 
5  small  children,  thereby  causing  a  sort  of 
cog  in  friendly  relations  among  the  American 
colony ;  but  otherwise  it  was  a  rather  pleas- 
ant two  weeks. 

No  Odyssey  of  Mexico  would  be  complete 
without  a  mention  of  the  bulls.  I  loved  the 
fights,  eve  ',  at  first  when  I  was  a  little  fright- 
ened at  what  was  obviously  going  on  down 
there.  There  are  those  who  sympathize  with 
the  animal,  but  he  has  an  effective  defense 
mechanism  of  his  own.  I  attended  a  good 
many  fights,  most  of  them  during  the  pro- 
fessional season,  and  I  never  saw  any  very 
serious  accidents.  A  few  tossings  and  tense 
moments,  but  the  fighters  recovered  in  time 
to  finish  oif  their  enemy  and  return  for  the 
tour  of  the  ring. 

There  were  a  few  parties  given  to  cele- 
brate my  departure  from  ranks  diplomatic. 
Looking  back,  I  find  I  must  question  the  mo- 
tives behind  all  of  this  festivity ;  but  at  any 
rate,   I'm   reasonably   certain   that   the   train

tures  which  will  be  given  by  prominent  sci- 
entists. 

It  would  be  appreciated  if  Bucknell  Alum- 
ni would  contact  their  high  school  science 
teachers  and  bring  this  opportunity  to  their 
attention.  The  high  school  teachers  should 
apply  to  Dr.  Lester  Kieft,  Director,  Institute 
for  High  School  Science  Teachers,  Bucknell 
University,  Lewisburg,   Pennsylvania. 


The  third  annu.xl  Susquehanna  Valley 
Science  Fair  will  again  be  jointly  sponsored 
by  the  West  Branch  Manufacturers  Asso- 
ciation and  Bucknell  University.  The  fair 
will  be  held  in  Davis  Gymnasium  on  Friday 
and  Saturday,  April  10  and  11.  Last  year 
there  were  over  300  individual  exhibitors 
from  26  schools.  It  is  expected  that  the 
exhibition  will  be  much  larger  this  year 
due  to  the  great  emphasis  being  put  on  sci- 
ence education  by  our  national  government. 
This  year  a  Handbook  for  Science  Teach- 
ers has  been  prepared  in  order  to  provide 
complete  information  about  the  fair.  The 
handbook  includes  rules  for  entering  ex- 
hibits, ideas  for  projects,  and  a  listing  of 
the  awards.  The  top  boy  and  girl  winners 
will  be  sent  to  the  National  Science  Fair  at 
Flint,  Michigan. 

Dr.  Lester  Kieft,  professor  of  chemistry, 
has  been  named  director  of  the  fair.  The 
executive  committee  includes :  Mr.  Ralph 
Cranmer,  president.  West  Branch  Manufac- 
turers Association;  Mr.  Jack  Millar,  Merck 
and  Co.,  Inc. ;  Mr.  Marshall  Laird,  man- 
ager, West  Branch  Manufacturers  Associa-

In  a  recent  letter  to  Rev.  Charles  M. 
Teufel  '04,  Rev.  James  M.  Paterson  '92, 
suggests  that  he  may  be  the  oldest  living 
alumnus.  Rev.  Paterson  was  born  in 
Glasgow,  Scotland,  February  16,  1863. 
Do  we  have  any  challengers  for  the  title 
of  oldest  alumnus?

*"  REUNE  IN  JUNE,  1958 


Greetings  to  all  '03ers  —  college,  insti- 
tute, academy  and  music.  I  know  all  of 
the  41  listed  members  are  thinking  about 
this  coming  June,  1958,  when  our  55th 
reunion  is  scheduled.  It  would  be  helpful 
if  you  would  send  to  your  reporter  news 
of  yourself  and  the  possibility  of  your 
attendance  in  June.  Please  take  this  as  a 
first  notice. 

Ida  Luchsinger  has  been  helping  cele- 
brate the  centennial  of  West  Pittston. 
Her  family  is  one  of  the  few  that  has 
been  there  100  years.  Her  brother  has 
compiled  a  history  of  the  region  for  the 
celebration. 

Emily  EbUng  spent  the  summer  along 
the  Maine  coast. 

Lawrence  Kalp  has  been  our  most  con- 
sistent campus   visitor. 

Charlotte  Shields  Murphy  represented 
the  class  at  the  October  meeting  and  re- 
ceived some  interesting  data.  Charlotte 
lost  her  sister  in  September,  and  was  in 
quite  a  serious  automobile  accident  in 
August.  We  are  happy  to  report  no  seri- 
ous results  from  the  accident.  Our  warm- 
est sympathy  .goes  to  her. 

Helen  Houghton  Zeller  103  has  offered 
her  home  for  an  afternoon  social  hour 
following  the   .\lumni   Luncheon  in  June. 

Dr.  John  B.  Cook  is  now  with  the  Farm 
and  Trades  School,  Boston,  Mass. 

Jane  Fowler  Bullis  and  husband,  Ray, 
were  back  in  '53,  '54  and  '55.  We  hope 
'58  will  see  them  present. 

The  sympathy  of  the  class  is  extended 
to  Mrs.  M.  F.  Forbell  whose  husband,  the 
Reverend  Mansfield  F.  Forbell,  passed 
away  on  July  29,  1957,  in  the  Comnnmity 
Hospital  in  Sunbury.  Dr.  Forbell  retired 
from  the  Baptist  pulpit  in  1949,  after  42 
years  of  service,  23  years  of  which  were 
spent  as  pastor  of  the  First  Baptist  Church 
of  Sunbury.  .\  graduate  of  Moody's  Bible 
Institute,  Dr.  Forbell  also  held  degrees 
from  the  .Xmerican  College  of  Urugless

To  whom  God  shows  the  greatest  favor 

Him  He  sends  Into  the  wide,  wide  world. 

Buck  thinks  I  am  a  hard  man  to  follow, 
but  I'm  not  nearly  so  hard  to  follow  as 
I  should  like  to  be.  Vera  and  I  are  both 
victims  of  the  Wanderlust,  and  .since  the 
boys  and  gals  haven't  sent  me  much  about 
themselves  (anyway,  I  get  most  of  my 
news  from  Mary  Stanton  Speicher)  let 
me  talk  a  little  about  us. 

Along  about  a  year  ago,  your  Lhicle 
Samuel  began  to  query  us  about  another 
stint  teaching  English  as  a  foreign  lan- 
guage. He  first  proposed  Korea,  then 
Cuba,  then  Morelia,  Mexico.  But  since 
we  wanted  to  be  free  for  this  current 
year,  we  turned  down  the  long-term  ap- 
pointments proposed.  Then  came  the  of- 
fer to  go  to  Guadalajara  for  six  months. 
Since  this  coincided  with  my  semester  of 
liriiiinal  leave  at  Colgate,  we  said  OK, 
Uncle.  So  from  February  to  July's  end 
we  bad  a  wonderful  experience,  both 
teaching  ICnglish  in  the  State  University 
at  Guadalajara  and  making  many  warm 
friends,  in  this  beautiful  city  of  5(1(1,00(1. 
We  felt  compelled  to  decline  a  proposed 
continuation  of  our  service  there,  because 
llie  longer  we  stayed,  the  farther  it  seemed 
from  oiu'  daughter  l'"r,inces  and  husband 
in  eastern  Texas,  our  daiiglilcr  C;ni)l  and 

1.^ 


family  in  Western  Michigan,  and  our  baby 
Margie  and  husband  in  Lakeland,  Florida. 

Shortly  after  we  arrived  in  Gua,  came 
an  inquiry  from  Queens  College,  based 
upon  a  suggestion  by  George  Abernethy, 
Bucknell  'iZ,  former  student  and  close 
friend,  now  a  member  of  the  Davidson 
College  faculty  near  here,  and  as  we  have 
learned,  highly  respected  in  this  region. 
Since  Charlotte  is  relatively  close  to  our 
youngsters,  and  since  we  were  anxious  to 
see  what  it  was  like  in  a  good  women's 
college,  we  said  "Youbetchamylife,"  and 
here  we  are  for  the  year.  We  are  enjoying 
the  year  immensely.  My  students  show 
that 'I  am  right  in  beheving,  along  with 
Ashley  Montague,  in  the  "natural  super- 
iority of  women."  The  only  drawback  is 
that  the  girls  are  too  respectful  of  my 
assumed  learning  ("a  celebrity  is  an  ordi- 
nary man  away  from  home").  The  col- 
lege is  about  the  size  Bucknell  was  fifty 
years  ago — the  ideal  size,  I  have  always 
thought. 

Mary's  good  account  of  the  fiftieth  re- 
union made  us  homesick  for  the  old  bri- 
gade. She  has  had  a  wonderful  record 
with  the  Alumni  Fund;  I  hope  you  all 
noticed  that  1907  led  all  the  classes  since 
1900  with  its  amazing  60%  of  class  mem- 
bers contributing.  As  usual,  the  girls  did 
more  than  their  share.  Mary  sent  us  some 
information  on  the  reunion  she  could  not 
include  in  the  necessarily  restricted 
ALUMNUS  report.  It  was  good  to  hear 
that  Mabel  Sill  Hubbard,  Becky  Shove, 
Mary  Brown,  Frances  Groff,  Priscilla 
Hardesty  Thompson,  Rachel  K  u  n  k  e  1 
Comstock,  Margaret  Myers  Ulmer  and 
Mary  herself  represented  the  pulchritude 
of  the  class.  Everyone  owes  George 
Riggs  a  vote  of  thanks  for  taking  such 
good  care  of  the  arrangements.  And  the 
boys  from  Perce  Andrews  through  Buzz 
Burroughs,  Boyd  Frymire,  Bill  Hinman, 
George  Mattis,  and  George  Riggs  to  Joe 
Weddle  and  Zug,  looked  full  of  zim  and 
zigor.  Mary  says  good  messages  were 
received  from  Elkanah  Hulley.  Charley 
Potter,  and  that  mistress  of  flower  ar- 
rangements, Lena  Olds.  Like  this  child, 
they  had   to  send  greetings  from  afar. 

Mary  Weddle  Lyon  consented  to  help 
Mary  with  the  Alumni  Fund  campaign; 
those  Weddles  are  wonderful  Bucknel- 
lians. 

We  have  all  been  shocked  at  the  pass- 
ing of  Paul  Stolz.  I  was  a  close  friend 
of  Paul's  from  our  freshman  days  together 
on  the  second  floor  of  East  Wing.  He 
made  a  great  contribution  to  Bucknell. 
It  is  good  he  could  have  the  class  at  his 
home  during  the  reunion.  Mary  says  he 
and  Luby  did  a  wonderful  job  taking 
care  of  the  '07ites. 

Another  death  in  the  class  is  reported. 
John  O.  Lummis,  who  I  think  was  with 
us  only  a  year,  died  in  Hartford,  Conn. 
I  have  no  details;  when  I  visited  Hartford 
in  the  early  thirties  he  was  associated 
with  one  of  the  insurance  companies  there. 

I  have  one  serious  problem  on  which 
I  should  like  expert  financial  advice.  The 
Alumni  Ofiice  informs  me  that  after  all 
debts  for  the  reunion  were  paid,  there 
remained  a  balance  of  $8.17  in  the  class 
treasury.  Can  any  of  the  financial  wiz- 
ards of  the  class  counsel  me  as  to  how 
best  to  invest  that  awesome  sum? 

See  you  in  '62,  D.  V. 


James  Lose,  who  retired  recently  after 
a  successful  career  as  engineer  of  con- 
struction on  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad, 
spent  two  months  during  the  summer  on 
an  inspection  tour  of  the  Formosa  Na- 
tional Railroad  on  the  island  of  Taiwan. 
The  railroad,  240  miles  long,  was  built 
nearly  a  half  century  ago  by  the  Japanese 
when  they  occupied  Formosa.  The  Chi- 
nese National  Government,  now  govern- 
ing the  island,  sought  information  on  the 
condition  of  eight  truss  bridges  on  the 
railroad.  Lose  went  to  Formosa  for  the 
J.  G.  White  Engineering  Corporation,  an 
American  firm.  He  travelled  by  air  by 
way  of  San  Francisco,  Honolulu  and 
Tokyo,  leaving  New  York  May  28,  and 
returned  late  in  July.  Lose  served  with 
the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  for  49J4  years 
prior  to  his  retirement. 

A  letter  from  the  Rev.  Dr.  Charles  L. 
Bromley  tells  of  his  contemplated  retire- 
ment as  pastor  of  the  First  Baptist 
Church,  Oberlin,  Ohio,  during  the  sum- 
mer and  he  subsequent  plans  to  reside  at 
131  Reedy  Blvd.,  Frostproof,  Fla.,  in  the 
heart  of  the  citrus  country.

During  our  trip  in  the  North  last  sum- 
mer we  had  a  short  visit  with  "Buck" 
Shott  and  Bruce  Rossiter,  editor  and  as- 
sistant editor  of  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALUMNUS  respectively.  In  McEwens- 
ville  we  enjoyed  for  a  few  days  the  hos- 
pitality of  Jane  and  Marjorie  Montgom- 
ery. 

Up  the  Susquehanna  to  Muncy  where 
we  met  up  with  a  pal  of  B.  U.  days — 
Grace  Rossiter  Miller  '13.  Also  at  Muncy 
Valley  Flospital  we  saw  Louise  Felsburg 
'03.  In  Lock  Haven  we  talked  with  Olive 
Long  Haggerty  '12,  but  didn't  see  Matt's 
'09  smiling  face.  We  had  to  hurry  along  to 
reach  the  Klinefelters'  home  in  North 
Bend  in  time  for  dinner,  Erma  is  Insti- 
tute '09. 

While  on  our  way  to  Pittsburgh  we  had 
lunch  in  Reynoldsville  with  Amy  Bolling- 
er '09.  We  were  much  pleased  to  chat  a 
while  too  with  Anna  Stage  Hoffman  '08, 
who  lives  in  the  same  apartment  house 
as  Amy. 

During  our  visit  with  our  youngest  son 
and  his  family  in  Ypsilanti,  I  'phoned  to 
Ansley  B.  Claypoole  '09.  He  is  still  carry- 
ing on  his  good  work  as  Chaplain  of  Beyer 
Memorial  Hospital.  Next  day  he  took  my 
Howard  to  Kiwanis  luncheon  meeting.  He 
introduced  him  there  as  a  husband  of  a 
Bucknell  classmate  of  his  saying  she  was 
an  attractive  young  lady  but  he  was  al- 
ready engaged. 

A  day's  jaunt  through  southern  Michi- 
gan and  from  north  to  south  across  In- 
diana brought  us  to  Louisville  where  El- 
oise  Headknd  Whitesides  '46  and  Doug- 
las, Sr.,  reside  with  their  three  children. 
Our  week  and  a  half  there  was,  as  always, 
far  too  short  but  after  a  night  with  friends 
in  Atlanta  and  a  day  with  our  second  son 
in  Cochran,  Ga.,  we  reached  St.  Peters- 
burg safe  and  sound  as  we  had  left  it  lasl 
June. 

Hail  to  the  glad  New  Year— 1958!  How 
little  we  know  what  it  holds  for  each  of 
us  but  in  closing  I  quote:  "I  cannot  find 
a  truer  word.  Nor  better  to  address  you; 
Nor  song,  nor  poem  have  I  heard  is 
sweeter  than  'God  bless  you.'  " 


Sarah  McFarland,  retired  school  teach- 
er, died  September  26  after  a  short  illness. 
Her  teaching  career  was  spent  in  Wil- 
liamsport.  Watsontown  and  the  Watson- 
town  area,  having  retired  about  10  years 
ago.  Among  her  survivors  are  two  sis- 
ters and  two  brothers;  two  nieces:  Mrs.  A. 
F  Madden  (Helen  McFarland  '28),  Mrs. 
C.  M.  Ghsk  (Ruth  McFarland  '29);  two 
nephews.  Dr.  John  Z.  McFarland  '35,  and 
James  M.  McFarland  '42.  Our  sympathy 
is  extended  to  them.

Thus  the  "left-overs." 

Had  a  nice  letter  from  Pearl  Ream.  She 
sent  me  a  new  cookie  recipe  which  I'll  try 
to  whip  in  shape  for  the  next  event.  Will 
send  my  recipes  to  any  who  wants  them; 
just  let  me  know. 

Vacationers:  Art  and  Sarah  Waltz  spent 
part  of  their  vacation  at  the  American 
Baptist  Assembly,  Green  Lake,  Wis.,  en- 
joying the  beautiful  scenery,  inspirational 
talks  and  making  new  acquaintances. 

In  May  I  had  received  a  long  letter 
from  "Patsy"  Henderson  who  was  living 
in  Long  Beach,  Calif.  He  was  unable  to 
come  back  for  our  45th  but  was  making 
great  plans  to  be  with  us  for  our  50th.  He 
wanted  me  to  write  him  all  the  happen- 
ings. So  Monday  after  the  reunion  I  sat 
down  to  write  to  him  and  to  Dave  McNeal 
who  had  been  so  very  ill.  1  hadn't  finished 
Patsy's  when  Leon  Crandell,  Montgom- 
ery, called  me  to  say  that  Patsy  was  on 
his  way  home  from  his  office  Friday  eve- 
ning, June  7,  when  another  motorist  en- 
tered the  intersection  against  a  red  light. 
The  car  collided  with  Patsy's  machine.  He 
suffered  head  injuries.  Surgery  was  per- 
formed but  he  died  without  regaining  con- 
sciousness Tuesday  night,  June  11.  Patsy 
was  sales  desk  supervisor  for  a  bolt  man- 
ufacturing company  in  Long  Beach.  His 
territory  covered  Northern  California,  Or- 
egon and  Washington.  He  is  survived  by 
his  wife,  a  daughter,  two  sons  and  eight 
grandchildren.  Funeral  services  were  held 
in  Long  Beach  and  burial  was  made  at 
Montgomery,  July  27.  The  day  before  his 
brother  Joe  had  passed  away  in  Divine 
Providence  Hospital,  Williamsport.  Pat- 
sy's family  knew  nothing  of  his  death  until 
they  reached  Montgomery.  Our  sincerest 
sympathy  from  the  Class  of  1912  is  ex- 
tended this  family. 

David  A.  McNeal,  a  charter  member  of 
Lambda  Chi  Alpha  fraternity  at  Buck- 
nell, passed  away  on  October  23  at  his 
home  in  Towanda.  Dave  had  a  unique 
record  as  an  annual  visitor  to  the  campus 
on  Commencement  Week-end,  having 
missed  only  one  year  since  his  gradua- 
tion and  in  that  year,  he  missed  only  be- 
cause he  arrived  on  the  campus  a  week 
before  Commencement,  due  to  a  mixup 
in  dates. 

Dave  was  born  in  Burlington  Town- 
ship on  June  12,  1887,  the  son  of  Hollister 
McNeal  and  Anna  Strope  McNeal.  He 
attended  Susquehanna  Collegiate  Insti- 
tute. 

After  graduation  in  the  jurisprudence 
course,  he  served  as  clerk  in  an  attorney's 
office,  conducted  an  insurance  business 
and  from  1920  until  his  death  acted  as 
justice  of  the  peace  in  Towanda  borough. 
The  job  of  justice  of  the  peace  in  the 
average  small  town  is  generally  not  a 
very  exciting  experience,  but  Dave  fig- 
ured in  at  least  one  case  of  national  im- 
portance; he  issued  the  complaint  and 
search   warrant   that   resulted  in   the   cap- 

J  A  X  U  .\  R  Y     1  9  5  s 


ture  of  Joseph  J.  (Specs)  O'Keefe,  whose 
confession  and  subsequent  testimony  in 
court  led  to  the  conviction  of  the  eight 
desperados  who  committed  the  famous 
Brink's  milUon  dollar  robbery. 

Dave  was  married  to  the  former  Alberta 
M.  Allen.  There  are  two  children,  both 
Bucknellians.  Daughter  Donna  Marie  Mc- 
Neal  '47  is  married  to  Homer  O.  Pursley 
'47  whose  father,  Louis  A.  Pursley  '28, 
serves  in  the  Pennsylvania  legislature. 
Son  David  A.  McNeal,  Jr.,  who  entered 
Bucknell  with  the  Class  of  1946  but  was 
graduated  in  1949,  married  the  former 
Shurlee  A.  Burgey. 

■Vera  Frost  passed  away  Julj-  15,  1957. 
\'era  had  been  living  with  her  eldest  sister 
in  Erie  for  eight  years,  ^'era  had  not 
been  well  for  several  \'ears  with  leukemia 
of  the  blood,  a  type  that  affected  the  veins. 
She  died  at  the  Erie  Osteopath  Hospital. 
She  was  brought  back  to  Brookville  and 
buried  in  Bethel  Cemetery.  Had  she  lived 
till  July  30.  she  would  have  been  71  years. 
The  ill  sister  with  whom  she  lived  died 
the  next  day,  July  16.  Sincerest  sympath^r 
to  the  famihes  of  Patsy  Henderson,  David 
McNeal,  Vera  Frost  and  Frank  Davis  '11. 

When  you  receive  this  report  Santa 
will  have  made  his  rounds.  In  another 
year  I  wish  when  he  is  handing  out  his 
Mink  Stoles,  T.  \'.'s,  and  Packards  that 
he  would  drop  a  little  gift  of  a  couple  of 
thousand  and  "ear  mark"  it  just  for  the 
ALUMNUS.  Buck  and  Bruce  are  ageing 
before  their  time  because  they  can't  print 
all  the  news  from  the  sixty-five  classes. 

Xow  a  thought  not  only  for  the  holi- 
day season  but  for  all  times — It  is  not 
enough  to  prepare  your  home  and  your 
pantry.  "Let  every  heart  prepare  Him 
room."

Mlfflinburg.  Pa. 

*J?    REUNE  IN  JUNE,  1958 


In  May,  1954,  Rev.  George  F.  Haines 
became  pastor  of  what  was  to  become  the 
Waring  Baptist  Church,  Rochester,  N.  Y., 
transferring  there  from  a  pastorate  of  14 
years  at  Clarion.  From  an  empty  field, 
during  the  following  three  years,  blos- 
somed forth  a  beautiful  $125,000  church 
edifice  with  a  parking  lot  and  lawn,  and 
the  house  where  services  were  first  held 
was  remodeled  into  a  parsonage.  It  was 
a  challenge  nobly  and  successfully  met. 
Xow  George  has  felt  the  call  of  retire- 
ment and  has  taken  up  residence  at  Olds 
Hall,  340  S.  Ridgewood  Ave.,  Daytona 
Beach,  Fla.  Good  years  are  still  ahead, 
George. 

To  Florida  also  has  gone  Rev.  George 
Middleton,  to  801  N.  E.  16th  St.,  Fort 
Lauderdale,  Fla.,  for  his  retirement  home. 
A  pastorate  of  35  years  at  Calvary  Bap- 
tist Church,  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  preceded 
his  seeking  more  leisure  time. 

The  l-"lorida  trek  continues.  Frank  R. 
H.  Richards,  Sr.  has  gone  from  hi>  Kan- 
sas City  home  to  761  X.  'VV.  101st  St., 
Miami,  Fla.  Didn't  you  receive  my  letter, 
Frank?      Xo   nply — yet. 

With  George  Campuzano  in  St,  Peters- 
burg. Dr.  Rebekah  Gibbons  in  Winter 
Park.  Jane  Irey  Rees  in  .Miami,  one  might 
suggest  two  or  three  car  pools  for  that 
trip  Xorth  to  our  45th  next  June. 

Besides  all  of  these  Floridians,  Walter 
Edwards  and  wife  arc  spending  thi!  win- 
ter iiiontli.s,  as  they  did  last  year,  at  The 
Grenadier  Apartiticntg,  Fort  Lauderdale, 
Fla. 

And  Benjamin  S.  (Ben)  Harris,  Esg., 
who  retired  ironi  his  labr.rs  with  the  Vet- 
erans Adiiiinist  ration,  hcadguartcrs  at 
Wilkes- Harre,   a   year   ago,   is    now    back 

J  ASV  AKY    IK  .-.  " 


home  almost  on  the  fringe  of  the  campus, 
at  408  Market  St.,  Lewisburg.  But,  of 
course,  he  is  in  Florida  too,  at  the  Elks 
Club,   St.   Petersburg. 

At  last  we  stay  North.  Carlton  B.  Hook- 
er, having  moved  from  Reift'ton  following- 
retirement,  now  lives  at  R.  D.  4,  Troy, 
"two  miles  from  the  house  where  I  was 
born.  The  hills  are  just  as  pretty  as  they 
were  60  years  ago.  However,  during  the 
last  25,  they  have  grown  steeper  each 
3-ear."  If  the  call  to  Minnesota  to  see  a 
son  and  four  grandchildren  is  not  too  per- 
sistent ne.xt  June,  he  hopes  to  be  in  Lew- 
isburg.    We  hope  to  see  you,  Carl. 

Dr.  John  D.  W.  Fetter,  no  longer  ac- 
tively ministering  to  Baptist  students  at 
Cornell,  occasionally  fills  pulpits  as  a  sup- 
ply minister  in  and  about  his  home  area, 
Ithaca,  N.  Y. 

The3-  Say  Dept. — Ralph  Still  in  a  mes- 
sage to  Marwood  Glover:  "Until  next 
June."  Walt  Edwards  to  Clay  Sanders 
wondering  about  accommodations  in  Lew- 
isburg. "Prexy  Sal"  Fisher  to  Clay:  "You 
can  bet  your  last  buck  I'll  be  there  for  the 
45th."  Such  remarks  make  good  reading 
as  we  look  ahead.  Orwill  Hawkins  wrote 
to  Reporter  Charlie  for  an  up-to-date  ros- 
ter. From  across  the  continent  Hazel 
Galloway  Hemphill  says  via  Marwood, 
our  reunion  chairman,  "I  hope  to  attend 
the  45th  since  I  elected  not  to  go  to 
Europe  this  fall  to  stay  a  year.  I  saw 
George  Piersol  in  1948  in  Pasadena.  Good 
for  you,  Mrs.  H.  Perhaps  you  can  induce 
George  to  want  to  see  Bucknell  in  1958 — 
and  enjoy  our  4Sth.  Come  East,  Western 
'13ers,  come  East!

348  Ridge  Ave. 
New  Kensington.  Pa. 


Continuation  of  European  trip  made  by 
Harry  and  Dora  Weaver 

From  Wiesbaden,  we  took  the  Rhine 
steamer  to  Cologne,  viewing  castle  after 
castle  and  many  charming  towns  along  the 
busy  shipping  route  of  the  Rhine.  In  ad- 
dition to  some  of  the  beauties  of  Cologne, 
we  again  saw  war  damage.  Some  of  it, 
we  were  told,  was  the  result  of  the  Ger- 
mans themselves  blowing  up  bridges  as 
they  retreated.  Our  guide,  who  had  been 
a  prisoner  of  war  at  Camp  Pickett,  Vir- 
ginia, told  us  that  German  school  chil- 
dren are  taught  nothing  about  Hitler, 
whose  only  legacy  seems  to  be  a  network 
of  good  highways. 

Next,  we  boarded  the  Jugoslav  Express 
for  Amsterdam.  During  our  several  days 
in  Holland  we  saw  the  famous  cheese  mar- 
ket near  V'ollendam,  and  here  I  bought  a 
goose-feather  hat.  In  Amsterdam  we 
watched  diamond  cutters  at  work  and 
viewed  a  regatta  from  the  lawn  of  our 
hotel  along  the  Amstel  River. 

By  steamer  from  Hook  of  Holland  we 
crossed  the  North  Sea  to  England.  The 
ne.xt  week  was  spent  in  London  and  in- 
cluded several  days  on  our  own  as  well  as 
several  planned  sight-seeing  trips.  These 
included  trips  to  Windsor,  Hampton 
Court,  l'"lon.  the  Shakespeare  country,  and 
Stoke- I'oges,  wlicrc  Gray's  Elegy  was 
written.  Wo  enjoyed  theatre-going  in 
London,  including  Sir  Laurence  Olivicr's 
new  production  of  TITUS  ANDRONI- 
CUS.  On  Sunday,  we  attended  the  morn- 
ing and  evening  services  at  Westminster 
Alibey,  And,  of  course,  we  did  not  miss 
the  Changing  of  (he  Guard  at  Bucking- 
ham Palace.  To  keep  up  the  royal  pace, 
we  shopped  at  llarrod's,  a  fabulous  store 
where  the  (Juecn   is  a  fre(|ueiit  custcjiTicr. 

Reluctantly   we    left    London    for   a   380 
mile  non-stop  trip  via  I'^lizabethaii  I'"xpress 
to  Kdiiiburgh.     Scotland  was  a  fitting  cli 
max    to    our    lour:    the    floral    beauty    of 


Edinburgh,  the  picturesque  drive  to  Sir 
Walter  Scott's  home  along  the  Tweed,  and 
an  interesting  journey  through  the  Tros- 
sachs  to  Ayr,  where  we  saw  the  home  of 
Robert  Burns.  From  Prestwick  Airport 
we  flew  by  Scandinavian  Air  Lines  to  New- 
York.  It  was  a  perfect  flight  across  the 
Atlantic,  with  a  full  moon  adding  a  final 
touch  of  beauty. 

Mrs.  Guy  H.  Morrow  (Wilma  H.  S,

Cleveland,  Ohio,  in  October.  Wilma  is 
director  of  occupational  and  recreational

MR.  THOMAS  B.  WILLIAMS,  President

Pairless  Hills.  Pa. 


Dr.  Edward  O.  Clark,  pastor  emeritus 
of  the  Chevy  Chase  Baptist  Church  of 
Washington,  D.  C.,  has  written  a  timely 
new  book  Faith  Fulfilled,  being  a  story  of 
the  earl}'  beginnings  and  the  historj',  dur- 
ing the  32  years  of  his  pastorate,  of  the 
Chevy  Chase  Baptist  Church. 

On  two  occasions  during  the  past  few 
months  our  own  Dr.  George  S.  Stevenson 
has  had  articles  on  the  'Words  to  Live  By" 
page  of  This  Week  magazine.  In  both  in- 
stances, Bucky  was  writing  as  a  consultant 
of  the  National  Association  for  Mental 
Health.  With  characteristic  modesty.  Dr. 
Stevenson  has  neglected  to  answer  our  let- 
ters of  inquiry  nor  has  he  told  us  about  his 
new  book.  Mental  Health  Planning  for  Social 
Action.  However,  we  now  have  a  review 
copy  of  the  book  and  hope  to  publish  a 
brief  review  of  it  in  a  forthcoming  issue  of 
THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS. 

Harvey  E.  Eavenson  passed  away  on 
September  21  at  Ocean  City,  N.  J.  He  is 
survived  by  his  widovv'  the  former  Helen 
L.  Moore  to  whom  our  sympathy  is  ex- 
tended.

THE  REV.  ERIC  A.  OESTERLE,  D.D. 
114  E.  188th  St. 
New  York,  N.  Y. 


The  Hon.  Cyrus  B.  Follmer  has  made 
a  number  of  gifts  to  the  Library  recently 
we  note  in  Bibliotheca  Bucknellensis.  His 
diary  intrigues  us.  Cy  kept  this  as  a  small 
boy.  That  we  would  like  to  read  and 
also  the  diary  he  has  reserved  for  him- 
self, evidently  of  deeds  done  in  the  body 
when  on  the  Hill  and  its  environment, 

Bruce  Butt  is  moving  into  a  new  house 
and  his  address  will  be  322  Wedgewood 
Road,  Harrisburg.  His  daughter,  Ally- 
sanne  graduated  from  Bucknell  this  June. 
She  expects  to  teach  English  in  Philadel- 
phia. She  has  been  an  honor  student. 
Bruce's  boy,  Ned,  after  a  stretch  of  mili- 
tary service  is  in  his  second  year  at  Eliz- 
abethtown  College  in  an  electrical  engi- 
neering course.  Bruce  claims  some  kind 
of  a  record  for  attending  Bucknell  basket- 
ball games.  He  meets  Roller  '25,  often  at 
the  contests. 

On  the  first  of  October,  1946,  Bruce 
became  a  "Senior  Nylic"  which  is  some 
kind  of  a  moniker  he  obtained  through 
20  consecutive  years'  qualilication  for  sales 
made  under  the  New  Vork  Life  Insurance 
Company's  "Nylic"  plan,  and  on  the  first 
day  of  October,  1956,  got  another  small 
pension  and  is  now  an  ".S.  P.  N."  That 
means  Senior  Post  Nylic.  That's  a  real 
handful  from  our  old  "niiler."  We  will 
give  you  his  "postscript"  and  wind  him 
up  here.  "Returning  from  a  Lake  George 
trip  in  1956  my  wife  and  I  varied  our 
plans  a  little  on  the  last  leg  of  our  trip, 
Asbury  I'ark,  N.  J.,  to  Harrisliurg  to  see 
Kink  Sprout."  Well  knowing  Sprout  as 
I   do,  (rcporlcr's  nole)   that  was  just  time 

15 


wasted  because  he  is  the  biggest  prevari- 
cator we  know  on  the  matter  of  fish. 
Sprout  was  in  '17  class  if  you  recall. 

Olive  Park  (Mrs.  Russell  R.  Stout)  al- 
ways comes  through  with  a  nice^  letter 
when  we  put  on  the  "rousements."  She 
lives  in  Lost  Creek,  W.  Va.  Amy,  her 
sister  is  deceased.  Sister  Martha  (Mrs. 
Whitman)  and  daughter  Jeanne  recently 
took  dinner  on  the  "Yorktowne."  Jeanne  s 
husband  is  Lt.  Commander  on  the  ship. 
The  captain,  she  says,  is  Edward  Cole- 
stock  '29,  son  of  Professor  H.  T.  Cole- 
stock  '96  our  former  history  professor. 
Martha  used  to  baby-sit  for  Edward  when 
he  was  a  kid.  The  Park  family  sent  seven 
children  to  Bucknell.  two  sons-in-law  and 
two  grandchildren,  Olive  concludes  in  her 
nice  letter. 

Peg  Weddell  Brandon  is  quite  a  figure 
in  the  American  Association  of  University 
Women.  She  specializes  in  International 
Relations.  Before  moving  East  she  had 
been  president  of  the  Foundation  for  In- 
ternational Students  at  the  University  of 
Michigan. 

As  a  newly-elected  junior  general  of 
the  Grand  Imperial  Council  of  the  Red 
Cross  of  Constantine,  Dr.  James  E.  Nan- 
carrow  of  Upper  Darby  soon  will  be  eligi- 
ble for  the  top  post  of  the  national  Ma- 
sonic body.  He  will  be  qualified  to  be 
elected  grand  sovereign  in  four  years.  Dr. 
Nancarrow  was  a  resident  of  Williamsport 
for  30  years  and  was  principal  of  the  Wil- 
liamsport High  School.  He  has  been 
principal  of  the  Upper  Darby  High  School 
since  1946.

The  Rogers,  Feltons  and  Davises  were 
three  of  the  couples  who  cut  the  40th  an- 
niversary wedding  cake.  I  can't  remem- 
ber No.  4  couple  so  please  write  and  tell 
me  and  I'll  include  it  in  the  next  letter. 
Also  will  the  fellow  sitting  between  Pud 
Mellinger  and  Ted  Hilty  drop  me  a  line. 
I  know  the  face  but  not  the  name.  So  sor- 
ry! 

Mandy  Whitaker  Gray  wrote  to  me  in 
May  (in  answer  to  my  appeal)  and  told 
me  about  herself  and  family.  Said  she  en- 
joyed so  much  her  visit  from  Lize  and 
Jane.  She  was  looking  forward  to  a  trip 
with  Lize  this  summer  to  Jamestown,  etc. 
Mandy  is  bookkeeper  for  her  brother.  She 
started  it  when,  through  death,  they  lost 
their  irreplaceable  one  of  25  years  service. 
Mandy  says  her  family  are  all  in  town  and 
she  is  so  happy  and  having  a  wonderful 
time — "My  oldest  daughter  has  a  little 
girl  of  10  and  a  boy  of  5.  My  daughter 
Barbara  has  a  boy,  6,  and  a  darling  little 
girl  of  3.  They  are  so  much  fun."  Mand5' 
is  so  sorry  to  have  missed  the  reunion. 
She'd  just  love  to  see  you  all.  She  is  look- 
ing forward  to  a  detailed  report  of  it  from 
"Lize."  Wood  Glover  stops  in  at  the  office 
weekly  so  she  hears  quite  a  bit  about 
Bucknell.  We  missed  you,  Mandy,  ever 
so  much. 

If  you  are  interested,  our  reunion  book 
was  grand  and  will  give  you  lots  more 
than  two  dollars  worth  of  pleasure.  I 
think  there  are  a  few  left.  By  the  way,  if 
you  have  a  tape  recorder  and  would  like 
a  recording  of  the  entire  class  letters,  as 
presented  at  our  dinner.  Pedy  had  a  few 
extra  made.  They  cost  between  $3  and 
$4.  If  you're  interested  write  to  him.  He 
doesn't  know  I'm  doing  this  so  I  hope  he 
has  some  if  j'ou  want  them.

Word   has   recently   reached    us    of   the 

16 


death  of  Bruce  D.  Galbraith  on  April  5, 
1957.  Our  sympathy  is  extended  to  his 
family. 

Tip  and  I  called  on  Rube  Hayes  as  we 
were  going  through  Hartleton  while  in 
Lewisburg  at  Homecoming.  I  was  dis- 
appointed that  he  didn't  come  to  our  re- 
union and  made  up  my  mind  to  look  him 
up  and  see  why.  We  found  him  at  the 
garage  where  he  keeps  the  books  and  sure 
did  surprise  him.  Seems  he  wanted  and 
intended  to  come  but  couldn't  make  the 
dinner  Friday  night  so  Saturday  morning 
he  said  he  called  three  places  to  see  where 
we  were  and  no  one  seemed  to  know  so 
he  gave  it  up — too  bad!  I  know  now  he's 
sorry  he  didn't  come  and  hunt  us.  He 
looks  wonderful. 

By  the  way,  Homecoming  sceiiery  was 
gorgeous.  There  was  a  little  rain  but  it 
didn't  spoil  anything  and  only  washed 
the  foliage  and  made  it  more  beautiful. 
We  spent  almost  a  week  in  Lewisburg  and 
took  different  trips  each  day  to  see  the 
trees.  It  was  an  inspiration!  We  try 
to  do  this  same  thing  at  Commencement 
time  to  see  the  laurel.  It's  much  nicer 
than  traveling  in  the  heat  of  the  summer. 
If  you  are  retired  or  can  get  the  time, 
why  don't  you  try  it?

iS-  REUNE  IN  JUNE,  1958 


Dear  Classmates:  What  is  easier  to 
miss  than  a  deadline  after  a  holiday — 
only  hope  that  I  don't  break  my  record 
and  miss  it!  Still  complaining  that  no 
one  ever  sends  me  news — get  lots  of  com- 
ments from  others  on  the  little  I  do  have 
— so,  please,  fellow  classmates,  send  me 
some  news. 

A  welcome  letter  from  Helena  Diffen- 
dafer  Bower  tells  that  she  enjoyed  a  trip 
to  Bucknell  for  Homecoming  with  the 
Lowthers.  Enjoyed  the  trip,  noted  the 
many  changes  and  regretted  that  they 
saw  so  few  old  friends  and  acquaintances. 

After  five  long  and  hectic  months  I  am 
about  settled  once  more — of  course,  all  of 
those  little  things  that  one  puts  off  are 
to  be  done,  but  I  have  the  major  opera- 
tions behind  me,  and  what  a  relief — that 
was  a  project  for  once  in  a  life  time. 

Better  start  planning  on  attending  our 
40th  Reunion.  Plans  are  in  the  making, 
and  we  hope  to  have  the  best  reunion  of 
all  time.     So,  start  planning  now. 

Best  wishes  for  a  Happy  Holiday  Sea- 
son.

«y  REUNE  IN  JUNE,  1958 

Dinner!  Yes,  we  are  calling  you  '23ers 
to  come  to  the  Milton  Country  Club  Fri- 
day evening,  June  6,  to  start  off  our  re- 
union by  really  getting  together — all  of 
us — at  the  same  place  at  the  same  time. 
Does  this  dinner  call  seem  a  little  early? 
Well,  it  is,  and  it  has  to  be,  and  we  think 
we  are  pretty  smart  to  get  in  on  the 
ground  floor  with  our  reservations  before 
all  the  other  reuning  classes  try  to  do 
the  same  thing.  (That's  a  pretty  nice 
place  to  go  on  a  warm  evening  in  June). 
Foster  Wilson  has  taken  care  of  those 
arrangements.  He  was  one  of  a  group 
that  met  for  dinner,  with  a  meeting"  fol- 
lowing, at  the  University  Cafeteria  No- 
vember 21.  Others  present  were  our  class

"Pinky"  Jones,  "Les"  Horam  and  Mrs. 
Horam,  Helyn  Kerstetter  Bechtel,  Bruce 
Rossiter  from  the  Alumni  Office,  and  your 
reporter.  We  had  a  fine  meeting  with 
lots  of  definite  plans  made,  right  then  and 
there.  One  of  the  best  reports  "Dal" 
brought  us  was  that  Larry  Kimball  will  be 
editor  of  our  Reunion  L'AGENDA.  Now, 
in  order  to  be  an  editor,  Larry  has  to 
have  something  to  edit.  And  here's  where 
J'OU  all  come  in.  Answer  the  question- 
naire that  will  be  sent  you,  please.  Answer 
it  fully,  and,  above  all,  promptly.  (The 
committee  thanks  you!!)  Helyn  Bechtel 
consented  to  be  social  chairman,  and  we 
know  she'll  be  a  good  one.  You  will  be 
informed  of  other  plans  as  they  develop.

1938  so  they  have  lived  in  Elizabeth,  N.  J.: 
New  York  City;  Miami,  Fla.;  St.  Louis. 
Mo.;  and  now  Detroit.  They've  loved 
every  minute  of  it  and  have  met  many 
Bucknellians  in  their  migrations.

Thanksgiving  vacation  over  and  the 
sight  of  Bob  Cooley's  Mop  Wringer  Cor- 
poration on  the  New  York  Thruway  made 
me  realize  this  news  must  get  to  press. 
We  had  an  1100  mile  trip  in  which  we  at- 
tended the  Bill  LeMon  '54  wedding  (to 
lovelv  Yvonne  Goss)  in  Syracuse;  and 
then  spent  two  heavenly  days  visiting  Mel 
and  Jane  Orwig  LeMon  on  Lake  Cayuga. 
We  then  dashed  off  for  New  York  and 
visited  the  fabulous  Clendinen  family 
whom  Paul  has  known  ever  since  he  land- 
ed in  America.  Jean  Clendinen  Smith  '48 
is  also  a  Bucknellian  and  we  saw  her 
darling  voung  boys  and  visited  with  her. 
too.  We  finally  deposited  daughter  Diane 
at  Westtown  School  in  Pennsylvania  and 
then  made  a  mad  dash  for  the  new  Balti- 
more Harbor  Tunnel  and  home. 

We  saw  Marian  Matter  Davis  '36  not 
too  long  ago  in  College  Park  and  she  re- 
ports an  enjoyable  job  with  the  LT.  S.  De- 
partment of  .\griculture  at  Greenbelt.  Md. 
Jane  Millikin  .Abbott  also  reports  that 
Elizabeth  Dinsmore  Tedder  '39  is  a  broker 
for  Goodbody  and  Sons  in  Louisville.  Ky. 
Thanks  also  to  Helen  Meyer  Lewis  '.34 
who  reports  that  Clunet  is  now  district 
sales  manager  for  Eastern  Airlines  in  De- 
troit. 

Death  came  to  Frederick  Allen  Farring- 
ten  of  our  class  on  October  20,  1957.  Al, 
as  he  was  known  to  hundreds  of  Buck- 
nellians, carried  on  bravely  for  a  number 
of  years  although  seriously  handicapped 
by  a  spastic  ailment.  A  brilliant  student 
at  Bucknell  he  further  distinguished  him- 
self in  a  number  of  e.xtra-curricular  ac- 
tivities and  entered  Yale  to  study  law. 
Stricken  in  law  school,  he,  neverthless. 
was  not  overcome  by  his  misfortune  but 
began  a  new  career  in  photo.graphy.  Open- 
ing a  photographic  studio  in  Lewisburg. 
he  continued  his  business  and  conducted 
classes  in  creative  photography  for  a  num- 
ber of  years  in  the  face  of  his  great  physi- 
cal handicap. 

He  is  survived  bv  his  mother,  Mrs. 
John  D.  Plant  (Met'a  E.  Allen  '31)  and 
his  sister  Mrs.  Frederick  A.  Straley  (Met- 
ta  Farrington  '35).  The  heartfelt  sym- 
pathy of  his  many  friends  and  Bucknell 
LTniversity  is  extended   to  the  survivors. 

On  November  14.  the  TV  show  "Play- 
house 90"  featured  one  of  the  late  Bob 
Lindner's  stories,  Donald  O'Connor. 
David  Wayne,  and  Peter  Lorre  portrayed 
leading  roles  in  "The  Jet  Propelled 
Couch."  one  of  the  stories  in  Bob's  last 
book   The  Fifty-Minute  Hour.

What  a  coincidence  that  both  our  news 
items  this  time  come  from  sunny  Cali- 
fornia! 

.A.fter  spending  17  years  in  Puerto  Rico, 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Cesar  Clavell  (Elizabeth 
Sindle)  have  moved  back  to  the  States 
and  are  living  at  700  Coachman  Way. 
Citrus  Heights,  Calif.  Quite  by  chance, 
one  of  the  first  persons  Betty  met  there 
was  Edwin  D.  LaRue,  Jr.  '45.  from  Fair 
Oaks.  Calif.  In  the  course  of  conversa- 
tion, thev  discovered  that  thev  were  fellow 
Bucknellians  and  that  Mrs.  LaRue  (Lois 
Bragg  '46)  and  Betty  are  both  Tri  Delts. 
We  were  happy  Betty  could  be  in  Lewis-

Due  to  the  flu  bug.  I  was  unable  to  at- 


tend Homecoming  and  missed  seeing  any 
'36ers  who  returned  to  the  campus. 

I'm  sure  we  all  read  with  great  interest 
the  report  of  our  class  contributions  to 
the  Alumni  Fund.  It  is  good  to  see  that 
we  are  improving  each  year.  Let's  keep 
up  the  good  work.

Happy  New  Year! 

That  greeting  seems  premature  since  I 
am  wondering  how  big  a  turkey  I  should 
order  for  Thanksgiving.  And  do  we  have 
time  between  now  and  Christmas  to  make 
our  own  Christmas  cards?  Will  Tom 
Speck  really  give  her  a  Jaguar  (a  live 
one.  that  is)  as  he  said  he  would?  Watch 
for  the  ne.xt  issue  and  find  out. 

Meanwhile,  here  are  some  items  that

The  family  at  the  above  address — Mill-

McH's  HorneconiinK  this  last  fall.  Wc  got 
only  as  far  as  Williamsport  that  weekend, 
for  the  funeral  of  my  Dad,  who  was  killed 
in  an  automobile  accident  the  Thursday 
before.  Ironically,  we  had  considered  Irip-

That,  too,  had  a  note  of  sadness.  Alan 
Davis  was  in  charge  of  the  tickets.  Dr. 
Frank  G.  Davis  '11.  his  father,  died  very 
suddenly  of  a  heart  attack  the  week  be- 
fore, and  .Alan  left  for  Pennsylvania  in  a 
hurry.  Anyway,  as  a  result,  when  our 
tickets  didn't  come,  it  led  to  a  renewal  of 
acquaintance  by  telephone  witli  Bruce 
Scott  '51,  our  Bucknell  Michigan-Toledo 
.-Vlumni  president. 

Dr.  Richard  C.  Snyder  has  been  pro- 
moted to  associate  professor  in  biology 
at  the  University  of  Washington  in  Seat- 
tle. Early  in  the  summer  he  and  his 
family  were  East  for  a  family  reunion 
with  his  dad.  E.  A.  Snyder  'II,  and  his 
brother,  Robert  A.  Snyder  '42. 

-About  the  end  of  September  a  letter 
posted  from  Mary  McClelland  Lago 
brought  this  information:  "Record  a  new 
address  for  us,  as  of  a  few  weeks  ago 
— 30  Greenwood  Court,  Columbia,  Mo. 
We  are  enjoying  the  feeling  of  at  last  hav- 
ing enough  space  for  ourselves  and  plenty 
to  spare  for  traveling  friends  who  would 
like  to  stop  off  in  Columbia." 

The  same  week — in  fact,  I  noted  at  the 
time  that  it  was  exactly  the  25th  of  Sep- 
tember that  I  received  it — there  was  a 
Christmas  card  from  the  Tom  Meyers  '41. 
I  wasn't  sure  whether  it  was  for  1957 
(early)  or  1956  (late)  till  I  read  the  note 
from  Marion  (Marion  Phillips  '43).  I 
.gather  that  because  of  their  move  to  the 
Philadelphia  area,  our  address  was  lost, 
as  she  says,  "Couldn't  find  the  .ALL^M- 
NUS  to  get  your  address  so  saved  this. 
Finally  got  a  new  one  and  now  am  taking 
time  to  mail  it. — I'll  bet  it's  the  latest 
one  you  received."  It  was.  Enclosed  was 
a  1956  picture  of  the  "Meyer  Brood,"  as 
Marion  so  colorfully  puts  it.

a  good  story,  but  she  doesn't  recommend 
it  for  standard  procedure.  Barry  joins

reveals  a  deep  awareness  of  the  interests 
and  needs  of  church  laymen,  and  helps 
them  make  the  connection  between  what 
they  are  and  what  they  should  be — ser- 
vants of  the  kingly  Christ.  The  Fackres 
live  in  Duquesne  where  Rev.  Fackre  is

Is  This  a  Hobby 


HARRY    R.    WARFEL 

A  different  kind  of  hobby  occupies  the 
free  hours  of  Harry  R.  Warfel  '20,  and  his 
wife  (Ruth  Farquhar  '19).  For  ten  years 
they  have  conducted  a  small  publishing 
house.  Scholars'  Facsimilies  and  Reprints, 
which  issues  five  books  a  year.  Their 
specialty  is  the  reprintin.!>-  of  old,  rare 
books  of  interest  to  researchers  in  the 
fields  of  history  and  literature. 

The  five  books  for  1957  include  a  repro- 
duction of  the  newly  discovered  unique 
complete  copy  of  a  translation  by  John 
Lydgate  as  printed  by  Richard  Pynson 
in  1511;  a  collection  of  the  prefaces  to 
other  writers'  books  by  William  Dean 
Howells;  the  English  sources  of  Nathaniel 
Hawthorne's  "The  Scarlet  Letter":  a 
Jesuit  priest's  reply  to  a  book  by  King 
James  I  of  England  on  the  subject  of 
freedom  of  religion;  and  Elizabeth  Pea- 
body's  transcendentalist  magazine,  "Aesthetic 
Papers." 

Already  in  production  for  1958  are  re- 
prints of  the  unique  surviving  copy  of  a 
2^ 


book  on  the  structural  principles  of  art 
by  Horatio  Greenough,  the  sculptor  of  the 
half-nude  statue  of  George  Washington 
now  in  the  Smithsonian  Institution;  the 
original  and  a  translation  of  the  first  his- 
torical novel  on  the  American  Revolution; 
and  books  by  John  Wise  and  John  Cot- 
ton, famous  Puritan  preachers  in  New 
England. 

DeWolfe  Miller,  who  taught  at  Bucknell. 
is  readying"  for  the  press  Walt  Whitman's 
Dnnu  Taps.  Dr.  Warfel,  who  acts  as  gen- 
eral editor,  has  written  introductions  to  two 
books,  although  he  prefers  to  bring  out  the 
wo"k  of  others.  Mrs.  Warfel  is  the  business 
manager  of  the  firm. 

Dr.  Warfel,  who  has  written  a  half  dozen 
books  and  edited  a  dozen  others  for  trade 
and  textbook  publishers,  is  now  at  work  on 
a  book  on  Walt  Whitman.  During  his  years 
as  a  teacher  at  Bucknell  he  was  known  as  a 
"Whitmaniac,"  and  now  after  being  diverted 
by  other  tasks  for  many  years  he  is  writing 
an  analysis  of  the  art  of  the  great  poet.  His 
basic  views  were  published  in  College  En- 
(/lish.  January,  1957,  in  IVhititian's  Struc- 
tural Principles  in  'Spontaneous  Me.'"  New 
insights  into  Whitman's  methods  and  ideas 
arise  from  the  application  of  the  basic  oper- 
ating mechanics  of  the  English  language  as 
set  forth  by  Professor  Donald  J.  Lloyd  and 
Dr.  Warfel  in  their  recently  published  Anier- 
i'an  Euf/lish  in  its  Cultural  Seftini/.  Dr. 
Warfel  is  one  of  the  few  literary  critics  who 
shows  that  the  language  system  controls  the 
structure  of  literature. 

Besides  his  teaching  at  the  University  of 
Florida,  where  he  is  a  professor  of  English, 
Dr.  Warfel  is  active  in  professional  organiza- 
tions and  currently  is  president  of  the  College 
English  Association,  a  national  society  of 
college  teachers.  He  is  a  member  of  the 
advisory  committee  of  the  American  Human- 
ities Center,  the  committee  on  literature  for 
the  graduate  record  examination  of  the  Edu- 
cational Testing  Service  at  Princeton,  and  a 
director  in  the  Guaranty  Federal  Building 
and  Loan  Association  of  Gainesville.  He  is 
also  a  member  of  international  societies  and 
in  1949  was  the  U.  S.  member  of  UNESCO's 
international  committee  on  translation  prob- 
lems.

Bucknell  Review 

Bucknell  Rcz'iczv  for  December,  contain- 
ing five  articles  of  widely  varied  interests, 
has  come  ofJ  the  press. 

Professor  Helmut  Hatzfeld  of  the  Catho- 
lic University  of  .America  discusses  baroque 
qualities  common  to  the  several  arts  in  The 
Baroque:  Ideology  and  the  Arts,  and  Art 
for  Society's  Sake  by  Professor  Campbell 
Crockett,  University  of  Cincinnati,  points  out 
the  social  values  of  art. 

History  and  Sociology  by  Professor  R.  A. 
Nisbet,  University  of  California,  considers 
new  views  on  the  relations  of  these  two  fields 
of  learning  ;  and  Professor  Lewis  K.  Zerby, 
Michigan  State  University,  has  contributed 
an  account  of  how  a  philosopher  looks  at 
Freud.  Two  concepts  of  the  nature  of  time 
are  examined  by  Professor  Margaret  Church, 
Purdue  University,  in  her  article  Kafka  and 
Proust:    a  Contrast  in   Time. 

Bucknell  Rcviem  is  a  journal  of  literature, 
the  arts,  and  the  sciences.  The  comprehen- 
siveness of  its  interests  make  Bucknell  Re- 
vieiv  distinctive  among  scholarly  journals, 
and  if  it  continues  to  develop  the  Reviciv 
should  make  a  significant  contribution  to  the 
academic  reputation  of  Bucknell  University. 

The  present  staff  of  Bucknell  Rcvieiv  is 
composed  of  Professor  Harry  R.  Garvin,  ed- 
itor, and  Professors  K.  W.  Hooker,  J.  Rich- 
field, and  P.  B.  Rogers,  associate  editors.

BUCKNELL-BURMA     ANNIVERSARY     WEEKEND 

STORY  ON   PAGE  THREE 


smn's 


In  This  Issue 


EVEN  alumni  secretaries  attend  conven- 
tions and  Bruce  and  Buck  returned  from 
the  District  Conference  of  the  American 
Alumni  Council  filled  with  suggestions  for 
doing  a  better  job  in  alumni  relations.  The 
conference  noted  an  increasing  ititerest 
among  alumni  in  "continuing  education" — 
a  program  of  reading,  lectures  and  discus- 
sions on  almost  any  subject  by  college  gradu- 
ates after  formal  education  ends  on  com- 
mencement day.  We  were  interested  in  the 
discussion  topics  for  1958  suggested  by  the 
Foreign  Policy  Association.  They  include : 
"Can  We  Deal  With  Russia?",  "What 
Security  in  the  Rocket  Age?",  "United 
Europe— Partner  or  Rival?",  "Middle  East 
—New  U.  S.  Responsibility?",  "Awakening 
Africa— Promise  or  Threat?",  "What  U.  S. 
Economic  Policy  for  Survival?",  "Should 
U.  S.  Trade  With  Red  China?",  "Whose 
UN  Is  It?"  If  any  of  these  "Great  Deci- 
sions, 1958"  topics  appeal  to  you,  it  might 
provide  an  interesting  local  alumni  club 
meeting  topic.  If  you  are  interested,  why 
not  suggest  one  or  more  of  these  topics  to 
your  local  alumni  club  president.  We  do  not 
want  to  scare  you  but  we  were  awakened  by 
this  slogan  of  the  Foreign  Policy  Associa- 
tion :  "In  a  Democracy  public  opinion  counts 
— even  when  it  is  selfish  or  uninformed." 


HOW  much  mail  is  sent  to  the  Bucknell 
alumni  body  of  17,000  members?  To 
satisfy  our  curiosity,  we  kept  a  careful  rec- 
ord of  last  year's  mailings  and  find  that 
about  200,000  pieces  were  sent  from  Alumni 
Headquarters  to  Bucknellians.  These  let- 
ters and  mailings  consisted  of  THE  BUCK- 
NELL  ALUMNUS,  Trustee  Ballots,  Club 
Meeting  Invitations,  Class  Reunion  Reser- 
vations, and  Bucknell  Alumni  Fund  Appeals. 
Just  for  the  record,  it  should  be  noted  that 
Fund  appeals  reached  a  total  of  46,600.  On 
the  average,  out  of  the  10  pieces  of  mail 
received  by  an  alumnus,  two  of  the  pieces 
of  mail  requested  a  contribution  to  the  Buck- 
nell Alumni  Fund.  Ideally,  there  should 
have  been  just  one  Fund  appeal  to  each 
Bucknellian,  but  since  some  folks  fail  to 
respond  to  the  first  request,  follow-ups  are 
necessary.  The  maximum  fund  appeals  that 
any  one  Bucknellian  receives  in  a  single 
year    (July   1   to  the  following  June  30)    is 

five. 

*      *       *       * 

WHAT  makes  a  Bucknellian  a  good  loyal 
alumni  club  man  or  woman  is  a  question 
pondered  over  by  all  of  our  club  presidents. 
The  quick  answer  undoubtedly  is  "communi- 
cations." Bucknell  alumni  are  as  loyal  and 
hard  working  as  any  other  college  alumni 
group  but  they  are  busy  people  and  will  be- 
come active  in  our  alumni  clubs  only  when 
they  are  told  what  they  can  do.  In  spite  of 
our  many  present  efforts  to  keep  alumni 
informed  through  the  pages  of  this  alumni 
magazine,  club  letters,  class  letters,  etc., 
there  is  much  evidence  that  our  folks  read 
too  rapidly  or  not  at  all.  Let's  keep  telling 
our  alumni  through  club  letters  of  our 
individual  club  aspirations  and  programs. 
Not  all  alumni  can  or  will  attend  social 
gatherings  but  they  can  be  recruited  to  work 
on  greeting  committees,  parent  welcoming 
committees,  alumni  high  school  interviewing 
committees  and  other  worthwhile  club 
objectives.

SPOT 


ANENT  "communications",  we  thought 
the  Bucknell  Alumni  Annual  Giving 
Fund  had  been  pretty  well  publicized  among 
our  alumni  but  apparently  such  is  not  the 
case.  Otherwise,  why  would  an  alumnus 
tell  me  recently  that  he  didn't  know  Buck- 
nell needed  alumni  financial  support  and 
had  recently  made  a  cash  gift  to  a  state- 
supported  school  in  the  south  of  $2500  and 
had  just  written  a  bequest  in  his  will  to  the 
same  school  for  $5000.  An  alumna  who, 
incidentally,  is  employed  by  a  company  with 
a  liberal  alumni  gift  matching  program,  re- 
cently wrote  that  she  did  not  realize  Buck- 
nell needed  money  and  as  a  student  had 
always  believed  that  Bucknell  was  very 
heavily  endowed.  Since  the  Fund  was  estab- 
lished in  1948,  these  two  folks  have  received 
from  Bucknell  over  60  pieces  of  literature 
(letters,  booklets,  brochures,  leaflets)  de- 
scribing Bucknell's  desperate  need  for  funds 
for  current  operations,  faculty  salaries  and 
endowments. 

rpHEODORE  S.  CAPIK  '46  of  Mexico 
-'-  City,  Mexico,  has  sent  the  Alumni  Office 
several  interesting  newspaper  articles  con- 
cerning a  survey  made  in  December  by  the 
New  Jersey  Chamber  of  Commerce  and 
involving  two  Bucknellians,  Dr.  Bayard  L. 
England  H'53  and  Robert  K.  Bell,  Esq.  '20. 
Dr.  England,  president  of  the  New  Jersey 
organization,  headed  the  33-member  group 
which  spent  six  days  inspecting  the  progress 
made  during  the  past  few  years  in  Mexican 
industry,  commerce  and  agriculture. 


T  WISH  we  could  find  time  to  personally 
■'-  acknowledge  the  hundreds  of  cards  of 
greeting  we  receive  each  year  from  Buck- 
nellians at  Christmas  time.  Believe  me,  they 
are  greatly  appreciated.  We  are  glad,  too, 
to  be  on  the  mailing  list  of  many  Bucknel- 
lians who  write  annual  family  reports.  Even 
though  we  lack  space  in  the  magazine  to 
publish  all  of  these  interesting  reports,  the 
material  adds  immeasurably  to  our  bio- 
graphical material.    Keep  up  the  good  work. 


A  ND  speaking  of  greetings,  Trix  and  I 
■^^  continue  to  be  amazed  and  pleased  by 
the  warm  and  cordial  reception  by  alumni 
at  club  meetings.  On  our  recent  trip  south 
we  encountered  a  storm  in  Richmond,  twelve 
degree  weather  in  Atlanta,  a  veritable  gale 
in  Charlotte  and  freezing  weather  in  Florida, 
but  everywhere  Bucknellians  were  warm  and 
cordial  in  their  receptions.  President  Odgers 
likewise  reports  good  attendance  and  inter- 
esting visits  at  the  club  meetings  he  and 
Mrs.  Odgers  attended  recently  in  Miami  and 
St.   Petersburg. 


JUNE,  1958,  class  reunions  might  well  set 
a  new  high  record  for  attendance  and 
enthusiasm.  Preliminary  plans  and  activities 
of  class  leaders  and  reunion  committees  indi- 
cate a  better  than  average  attendance.  If 
your  class  year  ends  in  "3"  or  "8",  please  be 
on  the  look-out  for  the  announcements  from 
your  class  president  and  committee  members. 
You  will  want  to  be  here — it's  later  than  you 
think.

BURMA-BUCKNELL 


EEK    END 


By  Forrest  D.  Brown,  General  Secretary 
The  Christian  Association 


rpHE  BURMA-BUCKNELL  Week  End, 
-'-  held  on  the  Bucknell  campus  on  Febru- 
ar>'  28,  March  1  and  2,  observed  three  anni- 
versaries. This  tenth  anniversary  week  end 
commemorated  the  tenth  year  of  Burma's 
independence  as  a  modern  nation,  and  the 
one  hundreth  anniversary  of  the  admission 
to  Bucknell  of  the  first  foreign  student, 
Maung  Shaw  Loo  '64. 

The  program  this  year  was  financed  by 
grants  from  the  Danforth  and  Asia  Founda- 
tions, and  was  sponsored  by  the  University 
Christian  Association.  Two  hundred  and 
fifty  guests  attended.  Among  these  were 
Supreme  Court  Justice  WilHam  O.  Douglas ; 
His  Excellency  U  Win,  Ambassador  from 
the  Union  of  Burma  to  the  United  States ; 
His  Excellency  U  Thant,  Ambassador  to  the 
United  Nations ;  and  the  Honorable  Horace 
A.  Hildreth.  former  Ambassador  to  Pakis- 
tan. Miss  Lizbeth  Shaw  Loo,  only  surviv- 
ing daughter  of  the  famous  Dr.  Shaw  Loo, 
was  flown  from  Rangoon  for  the  occasion  by 
the  Asia  Foundation.  She  presented  to  the 
University  an  oil  portrait  of  her  father. 
Invitations  were  extended  to  officials  of 
Burma  and  Burmese  students  who  are 
studying  on  the  east  coast.  .Some  came  from 
as  far  away  as  Chicago,  III.;  Ann  Arbor, 
Mich. ;  Boston,  Mass. ;  and  Durham,  N.  C. 
Mr.  Harry  Pierson  '28  came  from  San 
Francisco,  Calif.,  to  represent  the  Asia 
Founflation.  The  U.  S.  Department  of  State 
and  the  USL\  were  also  represented.  The 
"Voice  of  America"  broadcasted  parts  of 
the  program  throughout  southeast  Asia, 

Some  new  features  characterized  this 
year's  event.  His  Excellency,  Ambassador 
U  Win,  in  appreciation  for  the  University's 
hospitality  to  some  250  Burmese  students  in 
recent  years,  was  host  to  a  reception  for 
Buclcnellian.s,  I^-wi.sburg  residents  and  guests 
in  the  Hunt  Hall  Living  Room  on  the  open- 
ing Friday  night.  The  University  held  a 
s|>ecial  convocation  on  Saturrlay  morning, 
and  addresses  were  given  by  Justice  Douglas 
and  the  AmtKissador.  Both  received  honorary 
dcKT" 

President  of  Burma  Presents  Bowl 

The  President  of  Burma  sent  a  beautiful 
cmlxi^M!d  silver  IxjwI,  mounted  on  teak  lions, 
as  a  gift  trophy  to  the  University,  and  had 
it  cngravfd,  "J-'rom  the  President  of  the 
Union  of  Burma  and  Mrs.  Win  Maung." 
In  consultatif/n  with  the  local  committee, 
the  Aml^assador  agreed  that  thi.i  trophy  be 

M  ,s  R  c  fl    I  a  r,  h 


awarded  annually  for  outstanding  contribu- 
tion to  campus  citizenship,  intercultural  or 
international  affairs  by  either  an  individual 
or  an  organization.  It  is  on  display  in  the 
Ellen  Clarke  Bertrand  Library.  The  Em- 
bassy also  provided  a  remarkable  exhibit  of 
Burmese  antiques,  pictures,  textiles,  arts  and 
crafts.  In  addition  some  fifty  volumes  have 
been  added  to  the  library  shelves,  broadening 
the  available  resources  for  study  of  south- 
east Asia. 

President  Odgers  Presided 
at  Banquet 

The  Burma-Bucknell  Banquet  was  held 
in  the  Women's  College  on  Saturday  night, 
with  President  Odgers  presiding.  Corbin 
Wyant  '58,  served  as  student  chairman.  Cor- 
bin is  a  member  of  the  famous  Bucknell 
Wyants  in  western  Pennsylvania.  The  ban- 
quet speakers  were  His  Excellency,  Am- 
bassador U  Thant,  and  the  former  president 
of  Bucknell,  Horace  A.  Hildreth.  Ambassa- 
dor U  Win  presented  the  silver  bowl  at  this 
time,  and  Miss  Shaw  Loo  presented  an  oil 
portrait  of  her  father  to  the  University. 
Tlie  banquet  was  one  of  the  highlights  of 
the  week-end  program. 

International  Party 

Following  the  banquet,  tlie  crowd  gathered 
at  the  Davis  Gymnasium  Annex  for  an 
evening  of  festivity,  highlighted  by  Burmese 
dances,  a  cane  ball  game,  American  features 
and  a  square  dance.  By  this  time  the  Buck- 
nell and  Burmese  students  had  really  "mixed 
it  up." 

Other  features  of  the  program  included  the 
Ambassador's  Breakfast,  wiien  he  met  with 
the  Burmese  students,  talking  in  Burmese; 
luncheons  for  guests  and  sludcjil  hosts  in  the 
homes  of  members  of  the  faculty,  adminis- 
tration and  coniinuiiity ;  field  trips  in  the 
afternoon,  and  a  morning  session  on  Bud- 
dhism. The  speaker  on  .Sunday  morning 
was  Professor  U  Pe  Maung  Tin,  professor 
of  oriental  studies  at  Rangoon  University, 
former  president  of  that  university,  and  cur- 
rently guest  professor  at  the  University  of 
Chicago.  A  Christian,  he  is  recognized  by 
the  Burmese  as  one  of  their  Ic.iding  scholars 
on  Buddhism  and   Pali, 

Student  Hosts  Take  Over 

More  than  three  bundled  sludi  lit  hosts  and 
hostesses  were  in  action  over  the  week  end. 


A  central  committee  of  thirty  students  and 
faculty  members  had  been  busy  on  plans  for 
months.  Corbin  Wyant  '58  and  Dr.  Roy  C. 
Tasker  served  as  co-chairmen.  Another 
active  student  committee  participant  was 
Dave  Slifer  '60,  son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ken- 
neth Slifer  '26  (Caryl  Dutton  '27),  who  was 
in  charge  of  the  educational  program  on  the 
campus.  He  presented  the  campus  informa- 
tion in  the  form  of  printed  folders,  lectures

TO  CONTRIBUTE  TO  BE  ELIGIBLE  TO  VOTE. 
The  voter  will  open  the  envelope  at  an   indicated  place, 


mark  the  ballot  by  voting  for  ONE  candidate,  enclose  a 
contribution  to  the  Alumni  Annual  Giving  Fund — if  you 
have  not  made  a  gift  since  July  1,  1957,  and  feel  inclined  to 
do  so — seal  and  mail  it.  No  postage  required.  On  receipt 
at  the  Alumni  Office,  the  secrecy  of  the  ballot  will  be  main- 
tained by  separating  the  name  and  address  of  the  voter 
from  the  ballot  after  which  the  ballot  will  be  placed  in 
a  locked  ballot  box.  Balloting  will  end  on  Thursday,  May 
IS,  1958.  During  the  following  week,  a  committee  of 
Alumni  will  open  the  locked  ballot  box,  tally  the  votes  and 
certify  the  results  to  the  Board  of  Trustees.

Trustee  Appointments 

At  the  regular  semi-annual  meeting  of 
the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Bucknell  Univer- 
sity held  in  Philadelphia  in  December,  Dr. 
William  R.  White  '26,  chairman  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees,  appointed  a  number  of 
members    to   new   committee   assignments. 

Mr.  -Andrew  R.  Mathieson  '20  accepted 
the  chairmanship  of  the  special  committee 
on  athletics,  student  help,  and  physical  edu- 
cation to  replace  the  late  Dr.  Joseph  D. 
Dent  '20  who  had  served  as  chairman  of  this 
committee  for  some  years.  Mr.  Mathieson 
also  continues  to  serve  as  chairman  of  the 
alumni  relations  committee  along  with  two 
new  members.  Dr.  Clair  G.  Spangler  '25 
and  Miss  Thelma  Showalter  '29  recently 
elected  alumni  members  of  the  Board.  Miss 
Showalter  also  became  a  member  of  the 
committee  on  public   relations. 

Dr.  William  R.  White  became  chairman 
of  the  committee  on  nominations  replacing 
the  late  Dr.  Joseph  W.  Henderson  '08,  for- 
merly chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees.  Dr. 
Robert  L.  Rooke  '13  accepted  appointment 
on  the  important  investments  committee  as 
chairman  replacing  Mr.  White.  Mr.  Harry 
G.  Schad  also  became  a  member  of  the 
investments  committee  as  well  as  accepting 
the  chairmanship  of  the  finance  committee. 
He  also  became  a  member  of  the  executive 
committee  of  the  Board.  Mr.  Hugo  Riemer 
'29  was  made  a  member  of  the  committee  on 
instruction. 

The  full  membership  of  each  of  the  Board 
committees  will  be  published  in  the  annual 
catalogue   which   is   now   being  printed. 


EVERYBODY  VOTES  IN  APRIL 


Bucknell  Alumni  have  an  opportunity  to 
practice  real  democracy  in  the  selection  of 
-Alumni  to  serve  on  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
Bucknell  University.  Our  procedure  in  se- 
lecting the  candidates  and  in  the  actual 
voting  is  far  more  democratic  than  the 
practice  in   most  universities. 

On  page  4  you  will  find  the  names,  pic- 
tures and  biographical  records  of  the  three 
candidates  chosen  to  stand  for  election  as 
.Alumni  Trustee  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
Bucknell  University.  One  is  to  be  elected 
Ijy  the  general  alumni  body  in  April  for  a 
term  of  five  years. 

The  candidates  were  carefully  chosen  from 
a  larger  group  of  nominees  suggested  by 
local  alumni  clubs,  class  presidents,  class 
reporters,  fund  nianagers,  members  of  the 
Board  of  Directors  and  the  Alumni  Fund 
Committee,  as  well  as  former  alumni  trustees 
and  former  presidents  of  The  General  Alum- 
ni Association.  Well  over  500  Alumni  were 
canvassed  for  suggestions.  .Al.so.  each  ishue 
of  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS  carried 
a  time-table  of  the  election  procedure  and  in 
the  September  issue  all  alumni  were  ur^ed 
to  suggest  names  of  persons  to  be  cnnsidc-r<il 
for  nomination. 

■After  all  suggested  candidates  have  been 
listed,  the  Alumni  Office  prepared  a  bio- 
graiihical  record  of  each  candidate  and  if 
time  permitted,  submitted  the  record  to  the 
candidate  for  corrections  and  additions.  The 
completed  biographies  were  examined  and 
discussed  by  the  Committee  for  the  Selection 
of  Alumni  Trustee  Candidates,  following 
which  each  cominillec  mcnilur  by  s(<rc1 
ballot  recordcrd  first,  second,  third,  fourlli 
anfl  (iflli  choices.  I'.y  weigliliiig  llic  <boices  on 
all  ballots  the  three  top  candidates  cnierged. 
The  canrlidates  willi  their  pictures  anri  bio- 
graphical records  appear  in  this  issue  of 
THK  HUCKM-:i,I,  ALUMNUS,  and  then 
in  April  every  alumnus  with  a  known  arl- 
drcss  receives  a  posfagc-free  b.illol  for  vot- 
ing. 


Each  year  a  number  of  alumni  do  not 
vote  because  they  "do  not  know  the  candi- 
dates personally." 

Obviously,  not  all  of  our  17,000  alumni 
will  know  the  candidates  personally.  That's 
why  the  biographies  are  published  in  THE 
BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS.  Voters  in  many 
federal  and  municipal  elections  are  unac- 
quainted with  their  candidates  for  public 
office  but  it  seldom  deters  them  from  voting. 
So  get  acquainted  with  your  candidates 
through  the  biographies  printed  on  page  4 
and  be  prepared  to  vote  in  April. 

Alumni  now  serving  on  the  Board  of 
Trustees  through  election  of  that  body,  but 
who  were  originally  nominated  for  member- 
ship by  The  General  Alumni  Association, 
include :  Dr.  Harvey  F.  Smith  '94,  Dr.  Robert 
L.  Rooke  '13.  Berkeley  V.  Hastings  '13,  Dr. 
Mary  M.  Wolfe  '96,  William  R.  White  '26, 
and  Andrew  R.  Mathieson  '20. 

Alumni  now  serving  on  the  Board  of 
I'rustees,  on  nomination  by  The  General 
.Alunnii  Association  are:  Dr.  Rov  R.  Nico- 
demus  '25  (1958)  ;  lohn  C.  Decker,  Esq.  '36 
(1959),  Dr,  Franklin  D.  Jones  '19  (1960); 
Dr.  Clair  G.  Spangler  '25  (1961)  and 
Thelma  Showalter  '29  (1962).  History  has 
supplied  ample  evidence  that  the  members 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  from  whatever 
source  selected,  serve  not  the  Trustees,  nor 
the  Alumni  Association,  but  the  University, 
which  is  as  it  should  be. 

You  are  urged  to  exercise  your  preroga- 
tive to  vote  in  a  democratic  election  when 
you  receive  your  ballot  in  .April,  The  ballot 
ni.-iiling  will  be  a  "double-duty"  enveloi)c 
mailer,  providing  for  the  return  of  the 
voter's  ballot  and  a  contribution  to  the 
.Alumni  Annual  (living  Program  in  one 
postage-free  envelope.  Alumni  do  not  need 
to  contribute  to  be  eligible  to  vote  this 
combination  mailing  is  |)laniied  to  save  post- 
age and  will  result  in  considerable  saving 
in   printing  and  postage.

HIGHLIGHTS 


A  review  of  selected  quotes  from  the  third 
annual  report  of  President  Merle  M.  Odgers 
for  the  1956-1957  academic  year 


Faculty  and  Administration 

The  salaries  of  our  professional  staff,  both 
teaching  and  non-teaching,  need  further  re- 
vision. Moreover,  a  rough  survey  of  wages 
within  the  community  convinces  me  of  the 
danger  of  losing  our  competitive  position 
here.  The  effort  to  raise  faculty  salaries 
through  increase  of  endowment  and  other- 
wise and  also  the  effort  to  raise  the  income 
of  the  rest  of  our  faithful  staff  can  be  easily 
justified. 

We  have  progressed  in  our  efforts  to 
raise  salaries  and  wages.  For  example,  by 
the  fall  of  1957  we  had  increased  the  maxi- 
mum salary  for  full  professors  by  $2,000 
since  the  beginning  of  1955  and  the  median 
salary  for  full  professors  by  $1,425. 

Enrollment 

We  think  of  Bucknell  University  as  hav- 
ing approximately  2,000  students.  This  is 
the  same  as  the  total  number  of  students 
enrolled  in  all  of  America's  24  colleges  in 
the  year  1800.  The  2,000  figure  has  grown 
in  a  century  and  a  half  to  the  approximately 
three  million  students  of  this  year  enrolled 
in  1,852  American  institutions  of  higher 
education  of  all  types.  Bucknell  is  one  of 
the  104  colleges  founded  prior  to  the  Civil 
War  which  have  survived.  I  am  told  that 
there  were  516  colleges  founded  before 
Fort  Sumter  was  fired  on  and  that  the  other 
412  failed.  Doubtless  each  one  of  the  104 
survivors  almost  failed  at  least  once,  but 
the  104  are  sturdy  and  we  are  proud  to  be 
in  the  group.  In  its  more  than  a  century  of 
existence  Bucknell  has  conferred  over  15,000 
degrees.  It  is  estimated  that  in  its  work  on 
the  campus  and  in  its  extension  and  summer 
divisions  Bucknell  has  served  more  than 
40,000  students,  full-time  and  part-time,  and 
of  all  ages. 


Student  Life 

"Those  Wonderful  College  Youngsters." 
That  was  the  title  of  an  editorial  w-ritten  by 
the  owner  and  editor  of  a  newspaper  in  New 
York  State  who  is  the  father  of  one  of  our 
students.  During  the  winter  he  spent  a 
couple  of  days  on  the  campus  at  our  News- 
men's Conference.  His  editorial  reads  in 
part: 

"Bucknell  has  more  than  its  quota  of  at- 
tractive young  men  and  women.  The  girls 
are  particularly  a  joy  to  older  eyes — so  well 
scrubbed,  so  feminine.  There  may  be  a  dull, 
drab  uniformity  in  clothes  on  other  campus- 
es. Not  at  Bucknell  where  the  students  are 
'sharp,'  as  the  saying  goes,  and  much  better 
mannered  and  with  considerably  more  social 
graces  than  those  we  remember  30-odd  years 
ago  on  another  campus.  It  is  refreshing  to 
be  in  contact  with  alert,  young  minds.  Ques- 
tions are  sharp  and  to  the  point,  the  attitude 
most  friendly.  They  want  to  know,  not  so 
much  as  to  what  older  adults  are  going  to 

6 


do  about  this  crazy  world  but  what  they 
can  do  and  expect  when  they  leave  college 
...  If  this  editor  could,  he'd  change  places 
with  these  college  students  in  a  minute — 
hoping,  of  course,  he  could  continue  to  know 
as  much  about  life  as  he  thinks  he  knows 


We  were  fortunate  that  no  outbreak  of 
intestinal  infection  resulted  from  the  failure 
of  the  public  water  supply  after  the  flash 
flood  on  November  4,  1956. 

At  the  time  of  the  flash  flood  both  town 
and  gown  were  gratified  by  the  hearty 
response  made  by  our  students,  especially 
our  boys,  to  the  needs  of  the  town  and  its 
stores  and  its  people.  To  be  sure,  some 
students  may  have  been  a  little  disappointed 
that  we  did  not  ride  with  the  flood  and 
send  them  home  as  an  emergency  measure, 
but  the  understanding  and  good  humor  of 
the  great  majority  in  meeting  the  situation 
was  very  commendable  and  fully  justified 
my  statement  that  "since  one  of  the  marks 
of  an  educated  person  is  his  ability  to  adapt 
himself  to  changing  circumstances  in  his 
environment,  I  feel  that  the  reaction  of 
Bucknell  students  is  one  of  which  we  may 
well  be  proud."  In  this  instance  as  in  so 
many  others,  the  undergraduates  gave  a 
good  account  of  themselves. 

The  Library 

Accessions  for  the  year  1956-57  bring  the 
collection  in  the  Ellen  Clarke  Bertrand 
Library  to  appro.ximately  157,000  accessioned 
volumes.  In  addition,  47  new  journal  titles 
were  added  to  the  current  checking  record, 
bringing  this  number  to  approximately  1,200 
titles  currently  received  through  subscrip- 
tion, gift,  and  exchange. 


On  January  10,  1957,  official  announce- 
ment was  made  of  the  establishment  of  the 
Bucknell  University  Archives.  The  Ar- 
chives will  have  their  home  in  the  Bertrand 
Library.  Dr.  J.  Orin  Oliphant,  Professor  of 
History,  has  been  appointed  University 
Archivist. 

Academic  Standards 

Bucknell  University  is  an  institution  of 
higher  learning.  I  should  like  to  think  that 
this  phrase  "higher  learning"  refers  not 
merely  to  the  higher  level  of  what  is  taught 
and  learned,  but  also  to  higher  aspirations 
and  ambitions  on  the  part  of  those  who 
learn.  I  should  like  to  think  that,  whatever 
their  attitude  may  have  been  in  secondary 
schools,  real  college  students  are  ambitious 
to  justify  the  faith  that  their  parents  and 
society  have  in  them  by  cultivating  a  will  to 
work  and  a  willingness  to  work  up  to 
capacity. 


The  different  abilities  of  students  make 
equal  achievement  impossible,  but  no  young 
person  will  have  respect  for  the  educational 
process  until  he  has  discovered  the  satisfac- 
tion of  doing  his  work  as  well  as  he  is  able, 
of  achieving  to  the  limit  of  his  capacity. 
Woodrow  Wilson's  statement  that  "char- 
acter is  a  by-product  of  hard  work  honestly 
performed"  was  based  on  his  college  experi- 
ences. A  democracy  cannot  afford  to  en- 
courage an  individual  to  do  less  than  his 
best  whether  he  be  a  ditch-digger,  an  as- 
sembly-line worker,  a  junior  executive,  or 
a  college  student. 

Development  and  Public  Relations 

W'e  feel  certain  that  the  grant  from  the 
Olin  Foundation  to  construct  Coleman  Hall 
will  set  off  a  chain  reaction.  The  need  of 
completing  the  Vaughan  Literature  Building 
opposite  the  new  structure  will  be  self- 
evident.  Three-fifths  of  Vaughan  now  stand 
and  the  remaining  two-fifths  will  be  needed 
to  complete  the  third  side  of  the  quadrangle. 
The  cost  will  not  be  prohibitive ;  approxi- 
mately $600,000  will  permit  us  to  finish 
Vaughan  and  round  out  this  westward  move- 
ment of  the  academic  and  administrative 
affairs  of  the  LTniversity. 

The  establishment  of  this  new  quadrangle 
will  not  limit  its  effects  to  better  classroom, 
laboratory,  and  ofiice  facilities,  important 
as  all  of  these  are,  for  its  implications  are 
even  wider.  They  include  the  possibility  for 
greatly  needed  improvement  in  our  dormi- 
tory facilities  for  men.  Construction  of  Cole- 
man Hall  will  enable  us  to  move  the  Eco- 
nomics Department  from  the  ground  floor 
and  the  first  floor  of  West  College.  And 
completion  of  the  Vaughan  Literature  Build- 
ing would  make  possible  the  removal  to 
Vaughan  of  administrative  offices  from  Old 
Main  and  from  the  ground  floor  of  East 
College. 

With  the  removal  of  offices  and  class- 
rooms, the  old  quadrangle  could  provide  a 
men's  dormitory  quadrangle  of  the  type 
Bucknell  has  not  had  in  its  entire  history. 
In  the  lounges  on  the  first  and  second  floors 
of  Roberts  Hall,  we  would  then  be  able  to 
create  the  kind  of  common  rooms  which 
men  students  at  Bucknell  have  never  had  the 
chance  to  enjoy.  Roberts  Hall  could  become 
the  lounge  and  recreational  center  for  the 
men's  dormitories,  with  two  spacious  lounges, 
together  with  game  rooms  and  some  small 
offices  for  the  men's  student  organizations. 


No  institution  is  great  enough  to  be  able 
to  forego  the  cultivation  of  positive  good 
will.  A  program  of  University  Relations 
should  convey  a  sense  of  institutional  mis- 
sion that  will  enlist  loyalty  and  devotion. 
We  can  win  good  will  primarily  by  render- 
ing with  our  resources  the  best  educational 
service  of  which  we  are  capable  and  sec- 
ondarily by  making  a  positive  and  con- 
structive effort  to  bring  Bucknell  and  what 
it  is  doing  to  the  attention  of  many  potential 
friends.

Highlights 


The  Bucknell  Study 

As  OF  JuxE  30,  1957,  the  first  phase  of  the 
Bucknell  Study  was  successfully  completed. 
This  involved  much  careful  thought  and 
planning  on  the  part  of  the  three  basic 
committees :  namely,  the  Committee  on  Stu- 
dent Body,  the  Committee  on  Curriculum, 
and  the  Committee  on  Faculty'.  Professors 
James  A.  Gathings  and  William  I.  Miller 
are  co-chairmen  of  the  first,  and  Professors 
Harold  ^^'.  Miller  and  Manning  A.  Smith 
are  respectively  chairmen  of  the  second  and 
third.  During  the  process  much  helpful 
ad\-ice  and  many  suggestions  were  received 
from  the  General  Advisory  Committee  and 
the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Study. 

It  was  necessary  for  the  three  basic  com- 
mittees to  meet  often  in  order  to  become 
familiar  with  the  task.  Each  committee 
finally  drew  up  what  might  be  termed  a 
working  plan  and  a  tentative  statement  of 
the  areas  to  be  covered.  There  were  formed 
eighteen  sub-committees  in  all,  whose  mem- 
bers were  selected  largely  on  the  basis  of 
their  preferences.  All  members  of  the  fac- 
ulty were  involved,  and  much  effort  was 
expended  in  an  attempt  to  secure  for  each 
sub-committee  the  strongest  possible  chair- 
man and  members  who  would  support  his 
efforts.  Each  sub-committee  met  several 
times,  and  the  sub-committees  have  agreed 
upon  a  tentative  and  flexible  plan  of  pro- 
cedure which  will  be  subject  to  change  in 
\-iew  of  fact-finding  and  other  considerations. 


It  is  encouraging  to  find  among  faculty 
and  students  alike  a  keener  awareness  of  the 
importance  of  improving  our  educational 
program. 

As  I  indicated  in  an  earlier  report,  con- 
clusions that  will  be  reached  in  the  Study 
"will  not  be  forced  upon  the  University  since 
they  will  come  largely  from  within,  that  is 
from  the  faculty  and  the  administration," 
though  it  is  unquestionably  helpful  to  obtain 
outside  aid  at  times  and  this  has  already 
been  done  during  the  progress  of  the  Study. 

Conclusion 

During  the  vear  Bucknell  worked  to- 
ward what  has  been  called  "a  sense  of  in- 
stitutional mission."  That  has  involved 
progress  on  a  number  of  fronts. 


Bucknell  is  an  inspiring  place  with  which 
to  be  identified.  .And  we  do  have  dreams 
for  the  future.  We  were  blessed  with  good 
fortune  this  year,  and  we  should  recall  what 
Woodrow  Wilson,  whose  100th  Anniversary 
we  recently  celebrated,  once  wrote :  "Wc 
grow  great  by  fireams  .  .  .  Some  of  us 
let  these  great  dreams  die,  but  others  nourish 
and  protect  them,  nurse  them  through  bad 
flays  till  they  bring  them  to  the  sunshine  and 
light  which  comes  always  to  those  who 
.sincerely  hoj>e  that  their  dreams  will  come 
true,"

SUMMER  SCHOOL 

Bucknell's  Summer  School  will  respond 
to  the  current  furore  over  the  state  of  edu- 
cation in  the  LTnited  States,  One  of  the 
nation's  serious  problems  is  the  shortage  of 
qualified  teachers.  Because  there  are  plenty 
of  holders  of  bachelor's  degrees  who  could 
qualify  for  temporary  secondary  school 
teacher  certification  if  they  would  take  six 
hours  of  work  in  summer  school,  Bucknell 
will  offer  these  minimal  courses — Introduc- 
tion to  Education  and  Educational  Psychol- 
ogy— this  summer. 

Another  problem  is,  of  course,  the  quality 
of  the  teaching  now  being  done,  especially 
in  mathematics  and  science.  Elementary 
school  teachers  will  have  an  opportunity  to 
brush  up  in  social  studies,  science  and 
arithmetic  by  taking  the  Practicum  which 
aims  at  helping  elementary  teachers  to  re- 
late these  studies  to  the  experiences  of  chil- 
dren. Dr.  Beryl  Parker  of  the  Bucknell 
University  Education  Department  will  di- 
rect the  program.  She  will  be  assisted  by 
expert  consultants  in  each  area. 

Bucknell  and  the  National  Science  Foun- 
dation will  hold  a  second  Summer  Institute 
in  Science  and  Mathematics  for  high  school 
teachers. 

Other  educational  features  are  a  second 
series  of  conferences  on  problems  and  meth- 
ods of  teaching  English ;  the  annual  Air- Age 
Workshop ;  the  fifteenth  annual  Institute  for 
Foreign  Students,  and  the  annual  Secondary 
Curriculum  Conference  sponsored  by  Buck- 
nell and  the  Susquehanna  Valley  Principals 
Association. 

In  addition,  a  lively  cultural  program  has 
been  planned.  Illustrated  talks  on  local 
architecture  will  be  given  by  George  Hersey, 
instructor  in  art,  who  has  unearthed  some 
treasures  in  his  study  of  Lewisburg  and  its 
environs.  An  exhibition  of  thirty-four  orig- 
inal portraits  of  Victorian  children  will  come 
to  the  campus  in  early  July.  Mr.  Hersey 
will  also  talk  about  these.  Bruce  Mitchell, 
who  has  recently  ventured  into  educational 
television  at  Pittsburgh,  will  demonstrate 
simple  techniques  of  drawing  and  design 
which  the  audience  can  master  on  the  spot. 
Several  distinguished  teachers  and  critics  of 
American  Literature  will  meet  with  students 
in  seminar  and  will  also  present  public  lec- 
tures. At  this  writing  Dr.  Oscar  Cargill 
and  Dr.  Leon  Edel,  both  members  of  the 
English  Department  of  New  York  Univer- 
sity, have  accepted  invitations  to  appear. 
Dr.  Edel  will  discuss  Henry  James  and  the 
psychological  novel ;  Dr.  Cargill  will  dis- 
cuss Whitman,  Hemingway,  or  Faulkner. 
A  first  rate  program  of  scientific  lectures 
will  be  provided  by  the  Institute  in  Science 
and  Mathematics. 

We  will  also  be  visited  for  special  pro- 
grams and  institutes  by  bankers,  physiolo- 
gists, musicians  and  Sunday  school  teachers. 

Bucknell   should  liave  a  lively   summer.

CHILD    WELFARE    IN     SWEDEN 

A  Sabbatical  Exploration  of  the  Democracies  of  Scandinavia, 

With  Special  Reference  to  Community  Child  Welfare 

By  Dr.  Cyrus  H.  Karraker 


DR.   CYRUS   H.   KARRAKER 


ABOUT  THE  AUTHOR  — Di:  Cy- 
rus H.  Karraker  was  born  February 
28,  1S96,  in  Jonesboro,  Illinois.  He 
graduated  from  Union  Academy  and 
contimied  his  higher  education  at  Lake 
Forest  College  from  lahence  he  gradu- 
ated with  the  A.B.  degree  in  1916.  He 
received  his  M.A.  in  History  from 
the  University  of  Michigan  in  1921 
and  six  years  later  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania  granted  him  the  degree 
of  Doctor  of  Philosophy. 

Presently  chairman  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  History,  Dr.  Karraker  taught 
at  several  schools  before  coming  to 
Bucknell  in  1933.  Dr.  Karraker  has 
published  three  books  and  numerous 
articles,  the  most  renowned  being  the 
book  entitled  "Piracy  Was  A  Busi- 
ness." 

Among  many  honors  won  by  Dr. 
Karraker,  perhaps  most  significant 
was  his  election,  as  a  Felloiv  of  the 
Royal  Society  of  Arts  of  Great  Brit- 
ain in  1954.  Recommendations  for  his 
election  were  based  upon  historical 
scholarship  and  upon  his  humanitarian 
achievements  in  behalf  of  the  Negro 
people  of  America. 

Dr.  Karraker  zvas  married  to  the 
late  Flora  Additon  and  has  tzvo  chil- 
dren, David  '50  and  Louise  '48,  both 
Bucknell  ahimni.  Louise  is  married  to 
Lloyd  W.  Furman,  Jr.  '49. 


I  AM  thankful,  indeed,  for  the  sabbatical 
leave  that  enabled  me  to  explore  the  cul- 
tures of  Sweden,  Finland,  Norway  and 
Denmark.  It  was  the  opportunity  I  had 
long  desired.  When  I  announced  my  trip, 
I  was  asked  by  some  whether  I  were  return- 
ing to  the  ancestral  home  ?  They  were  think- 
ing, no  doubt,  of  my  unusual  name,  wonder- 
ing if  it  were  Scandinavian,  and  that  this 
might  be  the  reason  for  my  visit  to  an  out 
of  the  way  part  of  Europe,  and  not  to  En- 
gland, France  or  Italy,  where  most  tourists 
go.  As  for  my  name,  there  runs  an  old  tra- 
dition that  the  Karrakers  of  the  18th  Cen- 
tury were  simple  though  honest  folk  living 
along  the  Rhine.  I  am  beginning  to  doubt 
this.  I  hope  in  time  to  prove  my  true  fore- 
bears to  have  been  rugged  Viking  chiefs. 

The  truth  is,  the  Scandinavian  countries, 
whose  population  at  present  does  not  exceed 
20  millions,  have  always  fascinated  me.  For 
more  than  a  century  not  one  of  them  has 
engaged  in  power  politics,  and  they  have 
avoided  wars  whenever  they  could.  During 
this  long  period  each  has  made  significant, 
though  little  publicised,  contributions  to 
world  civilization  in  the  arts,  literature, 
science,  and  medicine.  Each  also  has  aspired 
to  higher  standards  of  human  conduct.  I 
visited  the  peoples  of  Scandinavia,  primarily, 
for  the  purpose  of  gaining  insight  into  their 
concept  of  the  good  life. 

A  whirlwind  tour  of  ancient  castles  and 
churches,  of  museums  and  .luxury  shops, 
obviously,  is  not  the  best  way  to  study  a 
culture.  Nor,  at  the  other  extreme,  could  I 
learn  much  by  living  among  the  people,  as 
pleasant  as  that  experience  would  be,  when 
I  had  so  little  time  to  learn  their  language. 
No,  I  preferred  to  move  along  at  a  leisurely 
pace,  with  no  book  to  write,  but  observing 
people  and  things  rather  closely,  and  think- 
ing and  dreaming  about  it  all. 

My  chief  interests  were  child  welfare. 
Viking  history,  and  folk  schools.  Some 
lesser  interests  were  Swedish  farming  and 
housing,  Danish  porcelains,  the  Royal  Ballet, 
and  Danish  hospitality,  Norwegian  folk  his- 
tory and  art.  and  Finnish  architecture  and 
courage.  Most  astonishing  to  me  and  wholly 
delightful  was  the  profusion  of  flowers.  The 
Scandinavians  have  a  great  love  of  flowers, 
and  I  think  this  is  the  reason  I  found  their 
dark  days  not  at  all  dreary.  Everywhere  I 
went — in  homes,  eating  places,  offices,  and 
shops — were  flowers.  In  Helsinki  I  saw 
growing  on  the  grave  of  each  of  a  thousand 
soldiers,  who  had  given  their  lives  in  the 
wars  with  Russia,  a  bush  full  of  bright  red 


roses.  It  was  a  beautiful  spectacle  and  a 
most  touching  one. 

My  first  five  weeks  were  spent  in  Sweden, 
and  mainly  in  Stockholm,  living  with  a 
private  family  who  treated  me  like  one  of 
their  own.  This  was  a  delightful  experience 
which  came  purely  by  chance  as  the  hotel 
rooms  were  all  filled  when  I  arrived.  How 
nice  it  was,  for  a  change,  to  rise  at  eight,  or 
later,  have  breakfast  in  my  room,  converse 
in  Swedo-English  and  arm-waving  with  my 
hostess,  write  letters,  or  just  meditate,  and 
then  later  go  sightseeing,  window  shopping, 
or  meet  my  appointments.  On  rainy  days  I 
preferred  to  stay  in  my  room  and  read 
Victorian  fiction,  which  I  had  neglected 
while  in  college,  much  to  my  professor's 
annoyance.  Thus  does  conscience  hound  one 
through  the  years. 

In  pursuing  my  major  interest  of  child 
welfare,  letters  of  introduction  from  Presi- 
dent Odgers  and  Quaker  friends  helped 
smooth  the  way.  While  visiting  children's 
homes,  I  became  acquainted  with  welfare 
students  from  Britain,  West  Germany,  China 
and  India  who  also  were  in  Stockholm  for 
the  purpose  of  studying  child  care.  After 
visits  to  a  receiving  center,  infant  homes,  day 
nurseries,  play  schools,  and  after-school 
homes,  and  with  much  reading  on  these  sub- 
jects, I  am  convinced  of  the  superiority  of 
Sweden's  child  welfare  program.  It  pos- 
sesses a  high  order  of  efficiency,  and,  at  the 
same  time,  provides  the  home  atmosphere 
that  all  children  must  have. 

The  child  welfare  officials  of  Stockholm 
and  of  the  Royal  Social  Welfare  Board,  who 
conducted  me  on  these  tours,  seemed  to  have 
an  unlimited  amount  of  time  for  the  purpose. 
It  is  hard  to  see  how  I  could  have  received 
more  courtesy  and  assistance  had  I  presented 
credentials  direct  from  Washington, 

My  title  of  "Professor"  was  the  magic 
word  that  gave  me  entree  everywhere,  for 
the  title  in  Europe  is  reserved  for  distin- 
guished scholars.  Whenever  I  was  intro- 
duced, or  hastily  introduced  myself  as  "Pro- 
fessor", I  was  accorded  a  full  measure  of 
respect.  This  was  a  recurring  experience 
enjoyable  beyond  words. 

I  concluded  my  study  of  child  care  in 
Sweden  with  a  visit  to  its  rural  day  nur- 
series in  the  extreme  south,  near  Malmo. 
This  is  the  sugar  beet  country  where  I  saw 
miles  of  beets  being  harvested,  on  the  larger 
farms  by  machines,  and  on  smaller  farms  by 
hand  laborers,  who  were  chiefly  women.

MARCH     1958 


in  special  nurseries  set  up  by  the  government 
to  meet  the  beet  harvest  emergency. 

These  nurseries  resemble  the  homes  of  the 
neighboring  \-ilIagers,  and  have  all  the  com- 
forts and  charm  of  well-kept  homes.  They 
are  financed  mainly  by  the  state  and  the 
communities,  with  the  mothers,  who  are 
able,  paying  a  small  fee.  The  maximum  en- 
rollment of  a  nursery  is  twenty-two  (all  of 
them  terrific  blondes)  who  are  cared  for  by 
a  staff  of  three.  A  thorough  health  program 
is  enforced  by  the  requirement  of  training 
in  child  nursing  of  the  head  of  the  staff,  and 
of  periodic  visits  by  the  district  nurse  and 
doctor.  Of  course  these  nurseries  constitute 
only  a  small  area  of  public  health,  but  their 
strict  regimen  testifies  to  the  excellence  of 
Sweden's   public   health   program. 

The  special  nurseries  meet  the  needs  of 
the  six  weeks  beet  harvest  emergency.  How- 
ever, Sweden  operates  permanent  day  nur- 
series everywhere,  and  their  numbers  are 
being  rapidly  increased  to  serve  the  growing 
ami}-  of  working  mothers.  In  the  United 
States  we  are  confronted  by  a  similar  press- 
ing problem,  according  to  an  official  of  the 
U.  S.  Children's  Bureau,  who  considers  the 
scarcity  of  day  nurseries  a  serious  weakness 
in  our  child  welfare  program.  Perhaps  in 
this  area  we  should  learn  from  Sweden. 

Has  community  child  welfare  any  rela- 
tionship to  democracy?  The  people  of  Scan- 
dinavia are  certain  that  it  has.  To  them 
democracy  is  a  broad  concept  that  includes 
not  only  control  by  the  people  over  their 
government,  but  also  over  their  social  and 
economic  life.  Citizens  of  their  small  com- 
munities and  municipalities  plan  and  operate 
welfare  and  educational  programs,  and  they 
organize  co-operatives  and  trade  unions,  as 
well  as  elect  their  governing  officials  and 
members  of  parliament. 

Before  leaving  Stockholm  I  was  pleasantly 
entertained  at  nearby  Uppsala  University  by 
one  of  its  students,  Eva  Munktell.  Eva  com- 
pleted her  preparatory  schooling  in  the 
United  States  through  the  medium  of  a 
former  Bucknell  student  of  mine,  Sachiye 
Mizuki  '48,  who  was  acting  for  the  American 
Field  Service.  After  graduating  she  re- 
turned to  enter  Uppsala,  and  will  receive 
her  degree  from  the  University  next  spring 
at  the  age  of  19.  She  then  plans  to  return 
to  an  .American  University  to  work  for  a 
dortorate  in  political  science,  and  so  appears 
to  be  following  in  her  father's  footsteps,  for 
Professor  Munktell  is  professor  of  Roman 
Law  at  Uppsala  and  also  Conservative 
Member  of  Parliament.  He  is  one  of  Swed- 
en's great  men,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  he 
was  crippled  by  i>olio  at  the  age  of  seven 
and  ever  since  has  been  forced  to  get  about 
in  a  wheel  chair. 

The  other  university  I  visited  was  that  of 
Oslo  as  the  guest  of  iJr.  I^hilip  Eoardman, 
Director  of  the  Summer  School.  He  is  a 
relative  by  marriage  of  Mrs.  Lewis  E.  Theiss 
of  I^-wisbtirg.  Dr,  Boardman's  objective  is 
to  bring  to  his  six-weeks  summer  session 
students  from  all  over  Euro()e  and  Xorth 
America  for  the  purjxj.se  of  ac(|uainting  them 
with  NorwcKian  life  and  culture.  He  also

MARCH     ItSS 


Why  do  Scandinavians  drink  so  much 
coffee?  I  don't  know,  but  I  marveled  much 
at  the  quantities  and  at  the  time  consumed. 
\\"herever  I  visited,  I  drank  gallons  of  the 
stuff,  as  I  surrendered  willinglj'  to  the 
prevailing  mores.  For  your  true  Scandi- 
navian there  is  a  pot  of  coffee  to  start  the 
day,  then  comes  the  coffee  break,  coffee  at 
lunch,  coffee  in  the  middle  of  the  afternoon, 
at  dinner,  and  so  on.  I  was  invited  to  "tea 
at  four"  but  only  coffee  was  served.  I  came 
to  the  window  to  buy  a  railway  ticket  and 
the  agent,  drinking  coffee  from  a  mug  in 
one  hand,  shoved  me  the  brown  trip  slip 
and  change  with  the  other.  I  went  into  a 
store  to  buy  picture  post  cards  and  spied  in 
a  cozy  nook  a  be\'y  of  girls  quaffing  coffee 
as  they  chatted.  As  one  rose  reluctantly  to 
wait  on  me,  I  impertinently  inquired  of  her, 
"Why  are  you  always  drinking  coffee?" 
"\\'"hat  do  you  drink,"  she  challenged  me. 
"Milk,"  I  replied  in  a  defiant  voice  though 
weakly,  and  there  was  uproarous  laughter 
from  that  gang.  So  it  is  in  England,  only  a 
few  hundred  miles  away,  with  tea.  Once  the 
English  drank  chocolate,  later  coffee,  but 
since  the  18th  Century  it  has  been  forever 
tea.  I  suppose  if  anyone  should  start  a 
crusade  to  change  England  from  tea  to 
coffee  he  would  be  outlawed  from  Land's 
End  to  John  O'Groat's  as  disloyal  to  the 
Crown  and  a  traitor  to  the  constitution. 

Getting  back  to  Oslo,  I  found  the  Nor- 
wegians greatly  interested  in  folk  history. 
In  a  suburb  of  the  city  their  historians  and 
scientists  have  reconstructed  three  Viking 
ships,  dated  at  8S0  A.  D.,  which  had  been 
excavated  in  thousands  of  fragments,  to- 
gether with  the  many  relics  buried  in  them. 
Nearby  is  a  famous  outdoor  museum  ex- 
hibiting farm  buildings  of  the  17th  Century 
which  have  been  assembled  from  many  parts 
of  Norway,  and  one  may  also  see  in  their 
vicinity  the  raft  Kon-Tiki  and  the  explorer 
Nansen's   ship,   the  Fram. 

The  leader  of  the  Kon-Tiki  expedition,  it 
will  be  recalled,  was  Thor  Heyerdahl.  He  is 
also  a  writer  of  note  and  an  esteemed  person 


in  Norway.  Non-political  personages  seem 
to  receive  the  highest  honors  in  the  Scandi- 
navian countries.  In  Denmark  it  is  Niels 
Bohr,  the  physicist;  in  Sweden,  Dag  Ham- 
niarskj  old,  the  international  statesman ;  and 
in  Finland  it  was  the  composer,  Jean  Sibeli- 
us, until  his  death  last  September. 

During  the  last  days  of  my  exploration,  I 
became  acquainted  with  the  folk  schools. 
Folk  schools  are  scattered  all  over  Scandi- 
navia to  the  number  of  300,  with  some  30,000 
students  participating.  They  originated  in 
Denmark  more  than  a  century  ago  with  the 
famous  educator,  N.  F.  S.  Grundtvig,  who 
insisted  upon  two  aspects  of  teaching :  that 
of  direct  contact  between  teacher  and  stu- 
dent, and  the  study  of  history  as  basic  to  the 
understanding  of  life.  Education,  he  empha- 
sized, should  lead  to  wisdom  in  living. 

The  folk  schools  have  maintained  his 
ideas  to  the  present,  as  they  have  played 
a  very  important  part  in  the  growth  of  and 
in  the  maturing  of  its  democracy.  They  are 
supported  by  trade  unions,  agricultural  or- 
ganizations, and  humanitarian  societies,  as- 
sisted with  grants  from  the  state,  and  are 
attended  by  young  agricultural  and  urban 
workers  who  know  the  meaning  of  working 
for  a  living  and  are  eager  to  learn.  The 
subjects  taught  are  the  basic  liberal  arts, 
but  these  are  supplemented  by  courses  of  a 
practical  nature.  Each  school  also  has  its 
specialty,  that  of  Krogerup,  near  Copen- 
hagen, which  I  visited,  being  economics  and 
government.  Teachers  and  students  live  to- 
gether and  meet  on  common  ground  in  the 
discussion  rooms.  There  are  no  examina- 
tions and  no  credit  given ;  consequently, 
learning  becomes  an  exhilarating  adventure 
for  teachers  and  students  into  tlie  limitless 
world  of  knowledge. 

With  a  study  of  folk  schools  I  felt  that 
I  had  concluded  on  a  high  plane  my  ex- 
ploration of  Scandinavian  cultures,  for  the 
time  being,  and  I  returned  to  Lewisburg 
greatly  stimulated  and  enlightened  by  my 
experience.

SPORTS 


By   HARRY    KULMES,   Athletic    Publicity 


BisoBi   Cagers   Break   Even   In   First  Half 


MINGLING  with  some  of  basketball's 
best  during  the  opening  half  of  their 
24-game  schedule,  Bucknell's  dribblers 
managed  to  split  a  dozen  contests.  The  de- 
feats have  been  administered  by  Cornell, 
Temple,  Tennessee,  Clemson,  St.  Joseph's 
and  Lafayette.  On  no  occasion  have  the 
Bisons  been  disgraced.  Only  Tennessee  and 
Temple  were  able  to  win  with  any  pomts  to 
spare  and  both  of  those  teams  are  ranked 
among  the  nation's  top  20.  The  remainder  of 
the  campaign  is  also  laden  with  rugged 
opponents  and  it  is  extremely  unlikely  that 
the  Herd  will  succeed  in  equalling  last  year's 
16-8  record.  It  has  been  a  terrific  challenge 
to  battle  the  tougher  clubs  and  despite  the 
setbacks  the  Bisons  have  gained  a  great  deal 
of   satisfaction   from   their   experiences. 

Coach  Ben  Kribbs'  chief  difficulty  has 
been  in  developing  two  men  to  aid  his  three 
big  guns,  Hal  Danzig,  ElUs  Harley  and 
Jack  Flanegan.  This  trio,  led  by  Danzig's 
212  points,  has  accounted  for  545  of  Buck- 
nell's total  of  854  points.  Kribbs  has  tried 
to  plug  the  two  gaps  with  Bob  Ericsson, 
Skip  Wieder,  Bill  Wooster,  Bob  Salan- 
kiewicz.  Tommy  Thompson  and  John  Strizzi. 
Thompson  and  Strizzi  went  the  distance  in 
the  Bisons'  last  encounter,  a  tear-jerker 
74-71  double  overtime  loss  to  Lafayette. 
Thompson  had  his  hottest  night  of  the  win- 
ter, pouring  in  17  points  and  hitting  with  a 
jump  shot  in  the  final  20  seconds  of  the  first 
overtime  to  prolong  the  tilt  five  more  min- 
utes.     The    six-foot    sophomore    has    been 


hampered  by  a  pre-season  ankle  injury  but 
may  now  be  ready  to  travel  at  top  speed. 

Strizzi,  the  5-9  senior  scrapper,  has  started 
each  of  the  last  four  games,  and  paced  the 
Herd's  attack  against  St.  Joseph's  with  19 
points.  John  is  valuable  even  when  he's  off 
target,  because  of  his  dash,  defensive  play 
and  timely  rebounding.  He  could  have  the 
one  guard  slot  locked  up.  Thompson  will 
probably  be  employed  when  extra  height  is 
not  a  necessity,  with  the  6-6  Ericsson  on 
call  if  those  added  inches  are  required.  Bob 
hasn't  been  able  to  play  his  best  ball  thus 
far  but  could  blossom  at  any  time. 

Co-captain  Harley  and  Danzig  have  been 
Bucknell's  most  consistent  scorers,  with 
Flanegan  only  falling  from  that  class  in  the 
past  two  tussles.  Danzig  has  been  the  team's 
top  pointmaker  in  six  outings,  five  of  them 
being  victories,  while  Harley  has  shown 
the  way  on  three  occasions.  As  long  as 
Danzig,  Harley  and  Flanegan  are  clicking 
the  Bisons  will  be  hard  for  any  rival  to 
handle.  If  Thompson,  Strizzi  or  Ericsson 
can  supply  that  extra  punch  the  Herd  could 
really  roll  through  the  wind-up  stages  of  its 
schedule. 

Briefly  reviewing  the  contests  since  the 
last  issue :  Danzig's  25  points  sent  the 
Bisons  on  their  way  to  an  80-58  rout  of 
Gettysburg;  Temple,  fired  by  Guy  Rodgers' 
24  markers  and  brilliant  all-around  play, 
hammered  the  Herd,  75-59,  despite  Flane- 
gan's  23-point  effort ;  in  the  opener  of  the 
Carrousel    Tournament,    Gene    Tormohlen

cashed  25  points  for  Tennessee  and  the  Vols 
prevailed,  89-71,  as  Danzig  countered  with 
17;  a  stirring  second  half  rally  overcame  a 
six-point  Davidson  lead  and  gained  the 
Bisons  a  68-58  decision,  with  Danzig  notch- 
ing 23;  Bucknell  concluded  its  Carrousel 
activities  by  bowing  to  Clemson,  71-66,  as 
the  Tigers  bombarded  the  hoop  at  a  68% 
clip  in  the  first  half.  Harley  was  high  for 
B.  U.  with  19  counters. 

After  the  Christmas  vacation,  Albright 
was  toppled,  100-76,  in  a  skirmish  that  found 
six  Bisons  in  double  figures,  headed  by 
Danzig's  21  ;  the  Herd  crushed  Delaware, 
79-55,  for  its  last  triumph,  with  Danzig 
again  providing  the  big  noise  with  his  30 
points ;  St.  Joseph's  measured  Bucknell  in 
a  tight  struggle,  75-64,  the  Hawks  drawing 
away  in  the  final  two  minutes  via  the  free 
throw  route  after  the  Bisons  had  fought 
to  within  four  points  of  a  deadlock,  thanks 
to  Strizzi's  19  points ;  the  Herd  next  suc- 
cumbed to  Lafayette  in  double  overtime, 
74-71,  after  coming  from  behind  on  many 
occasions  to  knot  the  count — Harley's  23 
points  being  in  vain. 

BU  Swimmers  Creating  Loud  Splash 

After  their  first  three  meets  of  the  1958 
season,  Bucknell's  tankmen  had  captured 
three  times  as  many  contests  as  they  had 
while  making  their  debut  a  year  ago. 

In  rapid  succession  the  Bisons  drenched 
Lycoming,  56-30,  at  Williamsport ;  sank 
F  and  M,  57-29,  in  the  Freas-Rooke  Pool, 
thus  reversing  last  year's  loss  to  the  Diplo- 
mats by  a  similar  score ;  and  submerged 
Delaware,  49-37,  at  Newark,  Del.  The 
meet  with  the  Blue  Hens  was  in  doubt  until 
the  final  event  when  the  Herd's  400-yard 
freestyle  relay  unit  rocketed  to  victory  in 
4  ;00.4  to  clinch  the  issue. 

Thus  far,  coach  Bob  Latour's  most  con- 
sistent point-producers  have  been  juniors 
Bill  Barrett,  Mountain  Lakes,  N.  J. ;  Bob 
Buys,  W.  Sayville,  N.  Y. ;  Bruce  Hutchin- 
son, Rye,  N.  Y. ;  and  Bill  Schreiber,  Ar- 
lington, N.  J.  Glittering  performances  have 
also  been  turned  in  by  sophomores  Doug 
Forsyth,  N.  Tonawanda,  N.  Y.,  and  Bob 
Erdahl,  Washington,  D.  C.  Barrett,  a  swift 
freestyler,  leads  the  pack  with  three  individ- 
ual conquests  to  his  credit. 

Although  the  season  is  far  from  over, 
chances  are  bright  that  Bucknell's  second 
campaign  in  the  pool  will  be  a  winning  one. 

Wrabley's  Wrestlers  Making 
Foes  Groan 

Not  since  the  1951  outfit  finished  with  a 
5-3  log  has  a  Bucknell  wrestling  squad 
wound  up  with  a  winning  record.  This, 
however,  should  be  the  year. 

Working  with  a  wonderfully  well-condi- 
tioned group,  coach  Bill  Wrabley  has  thrice 
sent  his  battlers  into  combat,  and  on  each 
occasion  they  emerged  triumphant.  The 
Bisons  settled  past  scores  by  whipping 
Lafayette,  20-6,  and  Muhlenberg,  19-10,  and 
also  dumped  Lycoming,  22-6,  in  getting  off 
to  their   flashy  start. 

Four  BU  matmen  have  yet  to  swallow  a 
setback  and  three  of  them  are  sophomores. 
Captain  Larry  Dempster,  St.  Charles  senior, 
has  humbled  three  opponents  and  limited 
them  to  a  total  of  one  point.  Newcomers 
John  Ayre,  Bethlehem,  and  Dave  Murdock, 
buBois,  also  claim  3-0  marks,  while  another 
soph,  Pete  Fritts,  Andover,  N.  J.,  boasts  two 
victories  and  a  draw.  A  fourth  soph,  Ken 
Wightman,  Vineland,  N.  J.,  has  landed  two 
of  three  verdicts. 

MARCH      1958 


Harry  Lawrence  Bows  Out 
As  BU  Grid  Coach 


HARRY    L.    LAWRENCE 

"After  24  j'ears  as  a  head  coach  I  believe 
my  change  in  occupation  will  be  advantage- 
ous to  my  family  and  m3'se!f.  I  have  en- 
joyed my  life  and  associations  in  football 
and  will  have  many  happy  memories  of 
Bucknell,  Lewisburg  and  Central  Pennsylva- 
nia. I  hope  to  refresh  my  contacts  in  the 
area  from  time  to  time,"  stated  Harry  Law- 
rence after  he  had  resigned  as  Bucknell's 
football  coach  January  25. 

This  prett>'  well  summed  up  the  feelings 
of  a  fellow  who  was  departing  from  the 
University's  athletic  scene  after  11  years. 
The  tremendous  pressure  has  been  released 
and  the  ex-skipper  is  bound  to  feel  relieved. 
There  will  also  have  to  be  days  when  Harry 
will  miss  the  victories,  defeats,  cheers  and 
abuse.  But  in  accepting  the  position  of 
guidance  counselor  at  Baltimore  City  Col- 
lege High  School  Harry  did  the  thing  that 
he  believed  to  be  best  for  all  concerned.  A 
year  still  remained  on  his  latest  three-year 
contract. 

.At  Baltimore  City  College,  where  he  once 
created  a  football  powerhouse  that  survived 
six  successive  seasons  without  a  setback 
and  compiled  a  ten-year  69-10-6  record, 
Harry  will  still  be  in  constant  contact  with 
the  boys  who  have  made  up  much  of  his  life. 

I^wrence's  teams  at  Bucknell  won  45, 
lost  51,  and  tied  one,  the  brightest  period 
coming  between  1949  and  1952  when  the 
Bisons  captured  27  of  35  contests.  They 
romped  through  the  1951  campaign  with 
nine  straight  triumphs  and  expanded  the 
streak  to  17  games  the  following  season. 
So  Herd  eleven  had  ever  before  won  as 
many  as  nine  games  in  a  fall.  This  outfit.

Hulmes  Turns  Pro 

After  serving  as  Bucknell's  athletic  pub- 
licity director  since  September,  1956,  Harry 
Hulmes  is  leaving  to  fill  the  position  of 
business  manager  with  the  National  Foot- 
ball League's  Baltimore  Colts.  He  will  re- 
main on  the  job  at  Bucknell  through  March 
14  and  begin  his  new  duties  March  17. 

-A.  graduate  of  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania. Hulmes  came  to  Bucknell  after  a  30- 
month  hitch  as  assistant  business  manager 
for  baseball's   Baltimore   Orioles. 

About  his  departure  the  tub-thumper  com- 
mented, "My  stay  at  Bucknell  has  been 
happy  and  rewarding.  It  has  certainly  been 
a  pleasure  to  work  here,  with  wonderful 
people  and  for  a  fine  school.  I  hope  that  I 
will  have  the  opportunity  to  direct  more 
than  a  few  high  school  graduates  to  Buck- 
nell." 


Burma-Bucknell  Weekend 

(Continued  from  Page  3) 

and  movies,  the  most  important  of  which 
was  Ed  Murrow's,  "See  it  Now"  film  on 
Burma.  On  the  Friday  preceding  the  week 
end,  two  important  authorities  gave  class- 
room lectures.  In  addition  to  Professor  U 
Pe  Maung  Tin,  Dr.  Frank  N.  Trager,  re- 
search professor  in  government  at  New  York 
University  and  outstanding  authority  on 
Burmese  life  and  history,  gave  background 
lectures.  Twenty-five  members  of  the  cen- 
tral committee  attended  the  Embassy's  In- 
dependence Day  Celebration  in  Washington 
on  January  4.  On  February  9,  the  Ambas,sa- 
dor  was  host  to  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Club 
of  Washington,  D.  C. 

Other  Colleges  Represented 

Because  of  the  desire  of  the  Asia  Founda- 
tion and  the  Department  of  State  to  see  this 
entirely  unique  program  duplicated  for  sev- 
eral other  young  nations,  by  other  American 
colleges,  guest  observers  were  present  from 
a  number  of  campuses.  Coe  College  in  Iowa 
was  the  most  distant  represented. 

Had  Early  Beginnings 

Bucknell's  interest  in  Burma  has  long 
historic  roots.  The  present  series  of  week 
ends  was  started  at  the  suggestion  of  Miss 
Helen  Hunt,  daughter  of  Bucknell's  former 
president,  Emory  W.  Hunt,  and  for  many 
years  a  teacher  and  administrator  in  Burma ;

Twenty-five  years  ago.  Miss  Hunt  intcr- 
esterl  Bucknell  students  in  giving  scholar- 
ships to  Burmese  students.  These  .•miouiit 
now  to  $.500  a  year  and  are  raised  tlnvnigli 
the  World  University  .Service  h'und  cain- 
paigti  each  Jatuiary.  This  sum  is  enough  to 
enable  four  students  to  attend  the  University 
each  year.  Burmese  students  and  odlcials 
who  have  attended  previous  week  ends  have 
supplemented  the  .scholarshi|)  funfl,  named  for 
Bucknell.  The  chairman  of  our  committee, 
Dr.  Tun  Thin,  is  serving  this  year  as  an 
alternate  executive  dircrtor  to  the  Inter-

Dr.  Shaw  Loo  Colorful  Alumnus 

Picked  up  on  the  streets  of  Calcutta  by  a 
voyaging  missionary  at  the  time  of  the  In- 
dian Mutiny  in  1857,  this  Burmese  lad  who 
had  gone  to  India  "for  foreign  study",  came 
to  Bucknell  as  our  first  foreign  student.  His 
mother  had  been  baptised  by  Adinoram  Jud- 
son.  Maung  Shaw  Loo  was  the  first  Bur- 
mese student  to  study  in  the  United  States, 
and  the  first  medical  man,  trained  in  the 
west,  to  return  to  his  homeland  to  practice. 
He  was  a  lively  person  and  an  active  mem- 
ber of  Phi  Kappa  Psi.  The  minutes,  among 
other  things,  record  him  as  chairman  of  the 
"greviance  committee."  LIpon  completion  of 
his  medical  work  at  the  Charity  Hospital 
Medical  College  of  Cleveland,  he  went  by 
invitation  to  the  White  House  to  receive  a 
personal  message  from  President  Johnson  to 
King  Mindon  of  Burma.  Turning  down  an 
ofTer  of  the  Royal  Court,  he  settled  into 
medical  and  educational  work  at  Moulmein, 
Burma.  When  Dr.  William  G.  Owens  '80 
made  his  trip  abroad  after  retirement,  he  was 
a  guest  of  Dr.  Shaw  Loo.  Dr.  Shaw  Loo 
died  at  the  age  of  91  on  October  10,  1929. 

Eugenio  Kincaid  and 
President  Buchanan 

One  of  the  organizers  of  the  LIniversity  at 
Lewisburg  was  The  Reverend  Eugenio  Kin- 
caid, a  graduate  of  Madison  University  (now 
Colgate).  While  on  furlough  from  Burma, 
he  joined  Mr.  James  Moore,  III,  and  other 
devoted  Baptist  laymen  in  raising  the  needed 
funds  for  the  infant  University.  Later,  the 
King  of  Burma  called  him  to  the  palace  with 
the  request  that  he  take  a  personal  message 
to  President  Buchanan  at  the  White  House. 
A  photostat  of  that  message  and  the 
President's  reply  are  now  displayed  in  the 
Ellen  Clarke  Bertrand  Library.  It  is  a  note 
of  interest  for  Bucknellians,  since  it  was 
President  Buchanan,  while  serving  on  the 
first  Board  of  Curators,  who  made  the  mo- 
tion for  the  awarding  of  degrees  to  the  first 
graduating  class. 

The  joint  celebration  by  Bucknellians  and 
Burmans  in  this  tenth  year  of  independence 
would  seem  to  be  a  natural  outgrowth  of 
more  than  a  century  of  friendly  intercourse. 
With  the  conclusion  of  this  year's  program, 
it  is  hoped  that  a  brochure  may  be  published 
by  the  University,  narrating  this  fascinating- 
history  and  experience.  So  far  as  we  know, 
Bucknell  is  the  only  university  in  the  United 
States  which  has  developed'  this  kind  of 
week  end  hospitality  thrust.  Many  Bucknell 
alumni  of  the  past  ten  years  have  made  this 
program  possible.

ATLANTA — Atlanta  experienced  "unus- 
ual" weather  (12  degrees)  when  the  Buck- 
neHians  gathered  for  dinner  and  a  meeting 
at  the  Druid  Hills  Golf  Club  on  Decem- 
ber 11.  After  a  delightful  dinner,  Ray 
Monahan  '37,  president  of  the  Bucknell 
Alumni  Club  of  Georgia,  introduced  Buck 
Shott  who  spoke  briefly  on  the  topic, 
"The  BALD  Look."  After  Buck's  talk, 
a  long  question  and  answer  period  fol- 
lowed and  the  meeting  wound  up  in  the 
wee  hours  with  a  showing  of  kodachrome 
slides  of  campus  scenes  and  activities. 

BUCKNELL   EDUCATORS  — Bucknel- 

lians  attending  the  annual  P.  S.  E.  A. 
Convention  in  Harrisburg  met  for  a  spe- 
cial Bucknell  luncheon  on  December  26. 
Dr.  Paul  E.  Witmeyer,  professor  of  edu- 
cation at  Bucknell,  presented  and  evalu- 
ated the  suggestions  for  improvement  of 
the  Pennsylvania  school  program  that 
were  to  be  discussed  at  the  annual  con- 
vention. He  pointed  out  that  the  law  al- 
ready provides  for  extension  of  the  school 
week  as  well  as  the  school  year  and  re- 
minded us  that  longer  schooling  need  not 
necessarily  mean  better  training  in  school. 
He  suggested  that  perhaps  public  schools 
could  revise  the  curriculum  to  improve 
the  training  of  young  people  and  made  a 
plea  that  educators  start  now  to  plan  for 
such  improvements  rather  than  wait  for 
the  legislature  to  dictate  the  changes  and 
procedures  to  be  followed.  After  the 
conclusion  of  Dr.  Witmeyer's  address,  a 
discussion  of  college  admissions,  scholar- 
ship aid,  teacher  placement,  and  college 
salary  schedules  was  held. 

Dr.  Walter  H.  Sauvain,  head  of  the 
department  of  education  at  Bucknell,  also 
attended  the  luncheon  and  John  H.  Shott, 
alumni  secretary,  served  as  chairman  of 
the  meeting.

mas in  Australia",  was  given  by  the  assis- 
tant minister  of  the  Paxton  Presbyterian 
Church,  The  Reverend  Reynolds  Waters. 
He  highlighted  his  talk  by  playing  Christ- 
inas carols  typical  to  Australia. 

Also,  we  had  several  beautiful  Christ- 
mas readings  given  by  Miss  Kathryn

President  Reginald  Hubley  '52,  in  tlie 
absence  of  President  Reg  Merridew  '37. 
Slides  of  the  campus  sent  us  by  the  Uni- 
versity afforded  the  evening's  nostalgia 
and  recollection  of  "days  when."  Recent 
visitors  to  the  campus  during  the  summer 
and  Homecoming  were  Edie  and  Al 
Schmidt  and  Dottie  and  Frank  Grisanti. 
Dancing,  bridge,  and  general  chit-chat 
rounded  out  an  enjoyable  evening  that 
spelled  "more"  right  soon.

started  Bucknell  on  her  113th  year  with 
a  pleasant  and  thoroughly  enjoyable  eve- 
ning of  eating,  listening,  and  plenty  of 
talking.  We  were  40  strong  on  the  eve-

president,  introduced  our  special  guest 
from  the  campus  and  we  settled  back  to 
hear  of  the  happenings  at  school.  Prof. 
Souders  brought  us  up  to  date  on  the  300 
acres  set  apart.  The  property  itself,  the 
many  new  buildings  and  the  personalities, 
including  the  many  new  people  who  have 
arrived  recently,  were  discussed  in  his 
talk.  A  few  questions  and  answers  fol- 
lowed. 

It  was  so  good  to  see  so  many  "new" 
faces  and  of  course  the  faithful  regulars. 
The  parents  are  always  welcome  and  we 
want  to  see  the  Abbotts,  Fitzsimmons. 
Haucks  and  Louis'  a,gain — along  with  all 
of  you  who  live  in  this  area.  Let's  try  to 
make  us  113  strong  for  Bucknell's  next 
celebration.

WHY  PERSONAL  SOLICITATION? 

Serving  as  an  agent  in  the  Personal  Solicitation  Program  of  the  Bitcknell 
Alumni  Fund  is  prohahly  the  ultimate  in  alumni  service. 

Even  though  over  500  alumni  have  already  served  as  agents  during  the  past 
three  years  since  Personal  Solicitmon  began,  there  are  still  many  who,  when 
challenged  to  undertake  an  assignment  of  visiting  five  Bucknell  neighbors,  ask 
the  question,  "Why  do  we  need  Personal  Solicitation  for  the  Bucknell  Alumni 
Fund?" 

The  chart  below  answers  that  question  more  eloquently  than  any  words 
ccndd  he  written.  In  srtmmarr.  it  is  the  most  elective  and,  in  many  instances, 
the  only  method  of  getting  BiickneUians  started  on  the  annual  giving  program. 
This  great  discovery  is  not  unique  at  BuckneU:  several  hundred  other  colleges 
have  also  learned  from  experience  that  the  only  way  to  get  the  Fund  program 
into  high  gear  is  through  Personal  Solicitation. 

And  the  program  offers  other  benefits  as  well.  Many  agents  have  learned 
that  the  personal  visit  is  an  ideal  way  to  encourage  alumni  siipport  of  local  alumni 
club  activities  as  well  as  other  forms  of  alumni  service.  And  furthermore,  many 
agents  have  learned  that  personal  solicitation  is  more  than  ringing  doorbells  for 
money— Bucknellian  meets  Bucknellian  in  these  visits  and  discusses  Bucknell  to 
the  mutual  benefit  of  visitor  and  visitee.

hi  summary,  you  will  find  that  in  the  17  alumni  areas  where  Personal  Solici- 
tation was  carried  on  last  year,  30.7%  of  the  alumni  contributed  even  though 
many  of  the  alumni  in  these  areas  could  not  be  visited  because  of  the  shortage 
of  agents. 

hi  the  areas  where  NO  personal  solicitation  was  conducted  only  17.4%  of 
the  alumni  contributed  last  year. 

In  other  words,  reminders  by  mail  produce  17%i  participation  while  reminders 
by  mail  -  PLUS  PERSONAL  VISITS  -  produce  30%>  participation.  If  we  ever 
expect  to  adequately  help  in  solving  Bucknell's  financial  problems  we  must  each 
take  a  part  of  the  job-five  visits.  It's  as  simple  as  this:  The  more  volunteers 
helping,  the  greater  the  interest,  the  greater  the  success  and  the  sooner  Bucknell 
stands  in  the  spot  she  deserves.

"DOC"  HOSKINS  DIES 


"DOC"   HOSKINS 


Alumni  who  were  on  the  campus  at  the 
turn  of  the  century  will  be  saddened  to  learn 
of  the  death  of  George  (Doc)  Hoskins,  aged 
93,  former  Bucknell  football  and  track  coach, 
in  Cincinnati  on  January  23. 

"Doc"  came  to  Bucknell  from  Penn  State 
in  1899  after  coaching  the  Lions  for  a  num- 
ber of  years.  He  remained  as  coach  from 
1899  to  1906  compiling  a  gridiron  record  of 
forty  wins,  thirty-five  losses,  and  five  ties 
against  many  of  the  leading  collegiate  teams 
in  the  East. 

In  1909  "Doc"  was  recalled  to  the  coach- 
ing ranks  at  Bucknell.  In  the  spring  of 
1909  he  was  relieved  of  his  coaching  duties 
and  secured  the  position  of  trainer  with  the 
Cincinnati  "Reds"  in  the  National  League. 
He  held  this  position  for  many  years  during 
numerous  changes  in  management.  Advanced 
age  and  surrounding  conditions  brought 
about  his  retirement  some  years  ago  but  he 
continued  as  caretaker  in  the  visiting  teams' 
clubhouse  until   1942. 

The  sincere  sympathy  of  the  University 
and  his  many  friends  is  extended  to  his  wife 
and  daughter  who  survive. 


Golightly  '14  Honored 

A  luncheon  honoring  Joshua  R.  Golightly 
'14,  was  held  on  October  22,  1957,  by  the 
Millburn.  N.  J.,  Rotary  Club  on  the  occa- 
sion of  Mr.  Golightly's  retirement  from  the 
Millburn  Coal  and  Oil  Company.  He  had 
been  associated  with  the  company  for  the 
past  twenty-six  years. 

Mr.  Golightly,  a  member  of  the  Millburn 
Rotary  Club  since  1934,  has  never  missed  a 
meeting  of  the  group.  He  has  served  as 
president,  treasurer,  director,  program  chair- 
man, and  sergeant-at-arms  for  the  Millburn 
Club.  He  was  district  governor  of  the  182nd 
district  from  1943  to  1944  and  since  then  has 
served  as  district  treasurer. 

In  addition  to  his  activities  in  the  Rotary 
he  is  a  32nd  degree  Mason  and  a  member  of 
the  Central  Presbyterian  Church. 

A  measure  of  respect  for  him  is  reflected 
in  the  following  quotations  of  his  Rotary 
friends : 

"The  name  is  befitting  to  Jo,  he  does 
everything  lightly— a  quiet  unassuming,  ef- 
ficient manner." 

"No  one  knows  more  about  the  district 
than  Jo." 

"I  feel  it  is  an  honor  to  say  I'm  a  protege 
of  Jo's.    He  is  a  real  friend." 

"Jo  lives  Rotary  and  serves  Rotary." 

"Jo  can  be  counted  on  for  any  Rotary 
function." 

14 


After  graduating  from  Bucknell,  where  he 
was  a  member  of  Kappa  Sigma  fraternity, 
he  served  with  the  Navy  during  World 
War  I. 

Proud  of  his  service  to  his  fellowmen  are 
his  wife,  Georgia,  his  two  daughters,  Mrs. 
William  H.  McChesney  (Eleanor  H.  Go- 
lightly '46)  and  Mrs.  James  A.  Brown 
(JoAnn  G.  Golightly  '48)  and  his  fellow 
Bucknellians.     Congratulations,    Jo. 


Clarence  A.  Weymouth 
1900  Dies 

Bucknell  and  the  Class  of  1900  lost  one 
of  its  most  prominent  alumni  with  the  death 
of  Clarence  A.  Weymouth  '00  at  the  age  of 
79  in  New  York  City  on  January  29,  1958. 

Mr.  Weymouth,  ill  during  the  past  three 
months,  had  served  as  assistant  to  the  presi- 
dent of  Associated  Transport,  Inc.,  a  nation- 
wide trucking  firm  for  the  last  ten  years. 
Born  in  1878  in  Lock  Haven,  he  entered 
Bucknell  in  1896,  where  he  joined  Phi  Kappa 
Psi  fraternity  and  became  a  pre-law  student 
and  an  outstanding  athlete.  As  first  string 
catcher  on  the  baseball  team  he  was  a  bat- 
tery mate  of  the  late  Christy  Mathewson  '02, 
who  went  on  to  become  a  baseball  immortal. 
He  also  played  fullback  on  the  football  team 
on  which  Christy  was  a  member. 

After  graduation  from  Bucknell,  he  be- 
came a  law  student  at  Yale  where  he  earned 
varsity  letters  in  football,  basketball  and 
crew.  Following  college,  he  combined  coach- 
ing with  an  eminent  career  in  the  construc- 
tion and  transportation  industries.  He 
coached  at  St.  Paul's  School,  Annapolis,  and 
Swarthmore.  His  business  career  included 
executive  positions  with  Cantrell  Construc- 
tion Company,  Philadelphia,  Colonial  Trust 
Company  of  Philadelphia,  and  the  Danville 
Structural  Steel  Company,  Danville.  His  ac- 
tivities in  the  transportation  field  included 
posts  with  the  Terminal  Cab  Company, 
Guardian  Cab  Company.  Parmalee  Company, 
and  Yellow  Cab  Company  prior  to  his  join- 
ing   Associated    Transport    ten    years    ago. 

The  University  extends  heartfelt  condol- 
ences to  his  family  of  survivors  which  in- 
clude Mrs.  Weymouth,  the  former  Margaret 
S.  Tyler,  a  daughter,  Mrs.  Charles  M.  Mc- 
Allister and  five  sons,  George  T.,  Clarence 
A.  Jr.  '29,  Philip  B.,  Taylor,  Thomas  R., 
and  a  brother  and  a  sister. 

Mr.  Weymouth  continued  his  interests  in 
Bucknell  alumni  and  athletic  affairs  through- 
out his  lifetime  and  visited  the  campus  for 
Homecoming  Week  End  in  recent  years  when 
the  old-time  football  greats  of  the  begiiuiing 
of  the  centurv  were  honored.

Franke  '57  Reaches 
Mission  Field 

George  S.  Franke  who  graduated  in  1957 
in  electrical  engineering  and  who  has  ac- 
cepted a  three-year  appointment  to  use  his 
engineering  skills  in  mission  work  has 
reached  the  American  Baptist  Mission  at 
Sona  Bata  in  the  Beligan  Congo. 

A  recent  letter  to  classmates  and  friends 
tells  of  his  interesting  experiences  upon  his 
arrival  in  the  Belgian  Congo.  He  says, 
"Since  September  13th,  when  I  left  New 
York  City,  many  things  have  happened.  I 
had  a  very  smooth  crossing  of  the  Atlantic. 
It  was  a  bit  too  uneventful  except  for  the 
customary  visit  from  King  Neptune  at  Lati- 
tude Zero.  I  had  my  first  view  of  Congo  at 
6  :00  a.  m.,  September  28,  when  we  docked  at 
Matadi.  Since  this  was  a  Saturday,  I  had 
the  opportunity  of  staying  two  nights  in  a 
Matadi  Hotel.  I  found  it  very  pleasant  there, 
but  I  was  glad,  on  Monday,  when  I  got  the 
last  of  my  baggage  through  customs.  After  a 
short  stay  at  Banza  Manteke,  our  station 
nearest  Matadi,  I  went  on  to  Sona  Bata, 
which  I  shall  be  calling  home  while  I  am 
here  in  Congo. 

"Sona  Bata  is  a  beautiful  place.  Some  of 
us  call  it  The  Campus.  There  are  extensive 
lawns  dotted  with  shade  trees.  The  things 
I  like  most  about  Sona  Bata  are  the  people 
— the  other  missionaries  and  the  African 
leaders  who  have  made  Sona  Bata  such  a 
fine  place  in  which  to  live.  We  are  five  de- 
grees south  of  the  equator.  Our  time  is  six 
hours  ahead  of  eastern  standard  time. 

"Soon  I  made  a  trip  to  Leopoldville.  This 
is  THE  city  in  Congo.  It  is  more  modern 
than  any  city  I  have  seen  in  the  United 
States.  It  has  all  of  the  convenience  of  any 
modern  city.  I  stayed  at  the  Union  Mission 
Hostel.  This  is  a  nice  and  inexpensive  place, 
where  Protestant  missionaries  may  stay 
when  they  are  in  the  city.  The  reason  for 
my  trip  was  to  talk  with  the  leaders  of  our 
Congo  mission  who  have  their  ofiices  at  our 
mission  buildings  in  Leopoldville.  While  I 
was  there  I  had  an  opportunity  to  do  some 
shopping  in  the  regular  shops  and  at  the 
ivory  market. 

"The  highlight  of  my  stay  in  Congo  so 
far  has  been  my  trip  to  our  eastern  or 
Kwango  stations.  It  involved  six  days  of 
actual  travel  time  and  covered  1,140  miles. 
I  traveled  on  all  kinds  of  roads.  I  started 
out  on  a  four-lane  divided  highway  and 
continued  to  some  dirt  roads,  where  it  was 
impossible  to  go  faster  than  15  miles  per 
hour.  At  one  point,  a  hairpin  turn  was  so 
sharp  that  it  was  necessary  to  back  up  in 
order  to  get  around  it.  The  country  was 
beautiful  and  the  people  I  met  could  not 
have  been  more  cordial."

50  years,  estabhshed  the  first  clinic  for 
tuberculosis  in  Westmoreland  County  and

nursing  school  there.  He  is  survived  by 
his  wile  and  two  sons  to  whom  our  sym-

survived  only  by  her  husband  to  whom 
our  sympathy  is  extended. 

We  regret  to  inform  you  of  the  death 
on  December  30,  1956,  of  Mrs.  John  B. 
Dumont,  Jr.  (Louise  A.  Seller  '00).  She 
is  survived  by  her  husband  to  whom  our

The  career  of  one  of  our  oldest  Buck- 
nellians  came  to  an  end  with  the  death 
in  August,  1957,  of  Ida  S.  Hammond  who 
spent  two  3-ears  in  the  Female  Institute 
from  1885  to  1887.  Miss  Hammond  had 
been  a  school  teacher  and  lived  retired  in 
Philadelphia  at  the  time  of  her  death.  A 
great-nephew.  Paul  Hammond,  is  a  mem- 
ber of  the  sophomore  class  at  Bucknell. 

Mrs.  C.  W.  Amsler  (Mary  Rohrer  '96) 
passed  away  November  23,  1957,  from  a 
heart  attack.  She  lacked  just  one  month 
of  being  86  years  old.  She  was  the  first 
woman  to  pass  from  the  Class,  all  of 
whose  names  were  "Mary."  Though  in 
failing  health  for  several  years  'She  had 
been  able  to  be  around  until  the  last  few 
days.  She  left  no  immediate  relatives  but 
her  kindly  heart  won  many  friends. 

Mrs.  Thomas  Stradling  Fretz  (Emma 
Viola  Starick,  of  the  Institute  Class  of  '94) 
is  deceased  according  to  reports  from  the 
postmaster  at  Burton,  Washington,  her 
last  known  address.  Mrs.  Fretz  was  the

nell Academv  1888-90  and  graduated  from 
the  college  in   1894.    He  died  in  1941.

DR.  LEWIS  C.  HYLBERT 
435  Drake  Avenue 
Upland.  Calif. 


Christmas  greeting  cards  were  sent  to 
all  members  of  '05  Class — and  from  the 
29  replies  I  have  gleaned  a  few  items  of 
news  as  follows: 

Miss  Claire  M.  Conway,  fund  manager, 
continues  to  present  the  needs  of  Buck- 
nell to  members  of  the  Class  of  '05.  With 
55%  of  our  members  contributing  to  the 
Alumni  Fund,  this  puts  our  class  near  the 
top  of  all  classes  from  1868  to  1957. 

Mrs.  Blanche  Stoner  Wood,  spent  three 
weeks  in  Los  Angeles,  Calif.,  last  fall  and 
saw  several  old  friends,  among  them  our 
classmate  Ruth  Shorkley  Bliss  in  Car- 
penteria  at  "Canyon  Vista  Lemon  Ranch." 

John  B.  Smiley  reports  enthusiastically 
of  the  attractiveness  of  the  new  buildings 
on  the  campus.  He  was  able  to  make  two 
visits  there  during  1957.  He  also  tells  of 
locating  Charles  Marsh  at  Tionesta,  and 
having  a  visit  with  him  which  was  very 
gratifying. 

Donald  McCain  has  the  distinction  of 
belonging  to  two  Bucknell  Alumni  Clubs; 
New  York  and  Philadelphia.  He  is  a  busy 
man  and  we  are  proud  of  what  he  has 
been  able  to  do  for  Bucknell  and  his  deep 
interest  in  the  development  there. 

Ralph  Elliott  has  moved  from  Van 
Nuys,  Calif.,  to  the  Palace  Hotel,  480  Elm 
St.,  San  Diego,  Calif.  He  says  he  likes 
it   there  very   much. 

Rev.  John  C.  Sanders,  though  retired, 
is  doing  quite  a  bit  of  supply  work  in  the 
churches   around    Chambersburg. 

Ruth  Stephens  Porter,  is  active  in  the 
St.  Petersburg,  Fla.,  Alumni  Club.  She 
is  deeply  interested  in  writing  books  for 
children.  Be  sure  to  read  the  report  of 
the  .St.  Petersburg  .Munmi  news  in  the 
ALUMNUS. 

Edith  Kelly  Fetherston  is  a  great  help 
in  keeping  us  informed  of  the  wonderful 
growth  and  activities  of  Bucknell,  as  well 
as  giving  news  of  the  members  of  '05 
Class  whom  she  happens  to  see  from  lime 
to  time. 

I  am  glad  to  have  greetings  from  our 
1905  famous  athlete  Paul  G.  Smith.  He 
v/as  not  able  to  attend  our  50th  .-iniiivi-r- 
sary.    His  recovery  is  a  joy  to  all  of  ii''.

Impossible  to  believe.  But  true.  Charles 
Francis  Potter  and  his  good  wife  Clara 
celebrate  their  Golden  Wedding  in  June, 
What  an  active  life  they  have  had  and 
are  still  having.  The  story  of  CFP's 
current  weekly  activities  is  startling.  He 
is  indeed  an  intellectuals'  intellectual,  what 
with  speaking  at  organizations  which  he 
founded  (e.g.  twentieth  anniversary  of 
The  Euthanasia  Society),  officiating  at 
the  weddings  of  artists  (e.g.  Rex  Harri- 
son— a  midnight  Kendall-light  service), 
debating  all  and  sundry  on  radio  and  TV 
(I  remember  attending  his  celebrated 
debates  with  the  late  Dr.  Stratton),  and 
attending  the  annual  meeting  of  "World 
Government  Sponsors"  of  which  he  was 
co-founder. 

He  is  certainly  one  of  the  most  widely 
read  of  Bucknell  authors.  This  fall  Simon 
and  Schuster  will  publish  a  deluxe  re- 
vised edition  of  The  Story  of  Religion, 
which  has  been  in  print  in  many  languages 
for  twenty-six  years  (1959  will  see  a 
paperback  edition).  His  British  publish- 
ers tell  him  his  The  Faiths  Men  Live  By 
is  having  great  success  throughout  the 
"Enipah"  and  "making  a  jolly  splasli 
down  undah."  ((We  recently  visited  the 
Memorial  Chapel  dedicated — in  the  Ra- 
leigh Pullen  Memorial  Baptist  Church — 
to  the  late  Edwin  McNeill  Poteat,  who 
pujjlished  an  enthusiastic  review  of  Faiths 
on  its  first  appearance).  CFP  has  just 
finished  the  first  of  three  volumes  he  is 
ddinn  on  the  Dead  Sea  Scrolls.

REUNE  IN  JUNE,  1958 


Olive  Richards  L.-nders,  our  member 
with  a  Texas  address,  has  written  en- 
thusiastically of  her  decision  to  be  here 
for  the  big  get-together.  That  is  woiuler- 
fnl  news  and  should  bring  iMiniccli,-itc 
response  frmn  all  her  friends  that  they 
will  be  on  liaml  to  ).;iccl   her, 

l.S 


Soon  you  will  hear  from  our  class  presi- 
dent, Charles  Nicely.  Plans  are  afoot  to 
have  a  fine  reunion  book.  Let  us  make 
sure  that  there  is  a  100%  response  to  the 
call  for  information. 

Walter  L.  Noll  died  in  New  Smyrna 
Beach,  Fla.,  on  December  31,  1957,  of  a 
heart  failure.  After  35  years  of  teaching, 
he  retired  in  1941.  Prior  to  his  death, 
summers  were  spent  at  Lake  Wallenpau- 
pack  where  Walter  and  his  two  sons  had 
built  a  summer  home.  Winters  were 
spent  in  Florida.  He  is  survived  by  his 
wife,  the  former  Mary  B.  Miller  and  four 
children.  The  children,  all  Bucknellians 
married  to  Bucknellians,  are  as  follows: 
Margaret  Ida  '35  (married  to  Raymond 
Hunt  '35),  Clyde  Miller  '37  (married  to 
F.  Elizabeth  Boyd  '40).  Charlotte  Rose 
'39  (married  to  David  M.  Williams  '38) 
and  Walter  LeRoy,  Jr.  '47  (married  to 
Jean  M.  Taylor  '47).  Our  heartfelt  sym- 
pathy is  extended  to  this  fine  family  upon 
the  first  break  in  their  family  circle.

MRS.  HOWARD  HEADLAND 
ISarah  E.  Walters) 
3911  First  Ave..  N. 
St.  Petersburg  13,  Fla 


died  in  December,  1957.  He  had  been 
active  in  affairs  of  the  Pine  Street  Pres- 
byterian Church,  Masonic  Circles  and 
activities  of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of 
Harrisburg.  He  is  survived  by  his  wife 
and  three  children  to  whom  our  sympathy 
is  extended. 

Rev.  William  J.  Schultz  of  Picture 
Rocks  died  recently. 

Winnie  V.  Hardgrove  writes  enthusi- 
astically of  her  trip  to  Europe  last  sum- 
mer. Apparently  she  visited  every  avail- 
able place  of  interest  in  London  after 
which  she  took  a  fourteen-day  bus  trip 
through  England,  Scotland  and  Wales. 
From  New  Castle,  England,  she  went  by 
boat  to  Norway  with  its  beautiful  scenery 
and  then  to  Copenhagen,  Denmark,  which 
she  described  as  "the  most  beautiful  city 
I  have  ever  been  in."  Germany,  Ireland, 
England,  and  France  were  visited  before 
she  embarked  for  New  York  and  a  stop- 
over with  her  son  in  Connecticut  en  route 
to  her  home  in  Akron,  Ohio.  In  October 
Winnie  was  one  of  a  party  on  a  bus  trip 
to  the  West  Coast.  Now  she  is  planning 
a  trip  to  Alaska  for  the  coming  summer 
and  expects   to   leave  June   24. 


They  all  come  to  Florida  eventually.  At 
least  that's  the  way  the  most  of  us  who 
live  here  feel.  Among  1909's  latest  ar- 
rivals are  George  Hilbish  and  wife  who 
are  in  St.  Augustine  for  the  season  and 
Helge  (Chick)  Florin  who  with  his  wife 
now  resides  at  7809  S.  Causeway  Blvd., 
St.  Petersburg,  Fla.  We  heartily  welcome 
the  latter  to  our  city. 

This  brings  me  to  boast  here  that  at 
our  recent  alumni  club  dinner  in  honor 
of  President  and  Mrs.  Odgers,  1909  rang 
the  bell  for  having  present  the  most 
members  of  any  class — George  Bailets, 
"Chick"  Florin,  Sarah  Headland  and 
"Gib"  Lyte. 

In  December  a  certain  dull  uneventful 
and  plenty  blue  Monday  morning  just  as 
we  had  finished  hanging  up  the  last  piece 
of  the  family  wash,  in  came  to  see  us 
none  other  than  John  (Buck)  and  Mrs. 
Shott.  A  delightful  surprise,  indeed!  In 
less  time  than  it  takes  to  tell  it  we  were 
out  of  the  doldrums.  They  can  come 
again  any  time  and  welcome! 

With  regret  we  report  that  the  Grim 
Reaper  has  garnered  again  from  our 
class.  Myra  Magargle  Chaffee  died  Oc- 
tober 25,  1957,  at  the  Memorial  Hospital 
in  Towanda.  Myra  was  a  member  of 
the  First  Presbyterian  Church  there  and 
for  years  had  taught  a  boys'  class  in  the 
Sunday  school.  She  was  also  a  member 
of  the  Missionary  Society  of  that  church. 
Order  of  the  Eastern  Star,  American 
'_,egion  Auxiliary  and  the  Daughters  of 
the  American  Revolution.  We  fondly 
remember  Myra  who  graduated  with  our 
class  Cum  Laude  as  a  sweet,  unassuming 
and  gentle  person. 

A  new  honor  was  accorded  our  class- 
mate Allan  G.  Ritter,  Esq.,  last  October 
when  he  was  made  a  33rd  degree  Mason 
in  Los  Angeles. 

For  the  remainder  of  1958  here's  this: 
".  .  .  Let  us  build  into  each  wonderful 
new  day  so  much  of  love  to  those  about 
us,  of  Joy  for  the  privilege  of  service,  of 
peace  with  God  and  man.  of  long-suffer- 
ing when  the  trials  of  life  may  come, 
gentleness  and  goodness  to  all  with  whom 
our  paths  may  cross,  faith  in  God,  meek- 
ness that  we  may  remain  humble    .    .    ."

According  to  parliamentary  procedure 
you  take  care  of  old  business  first.  My 
old  business  is  "The  Left-overs."  I  want 
news  and  when  folks  are  so  kind  and 
thoughtful  to  send  me  a  card  on  vacation 
or  talk  to  me  in  soine  way  I  think  I 
should  let  others  know  of  their  thoughts 
and  pleasures. 

These  are  the  "left-overs"  from  last 
fall: 

Fred  and  Katie  Igler  were  in  New 
Hampshire  this  summer  where  they  were 
going  to  shepherd  two  churches  in  the 
White  Mountains.  It  was  their  fifth  sum- 
mer at  this  place. 

Had  a  card  from  Red  and  "Lib"  Low- 
ther.  They  are  spending  several  weeks  in 
Arizona  visiting  a  daughter,  Ruth  '40,  and 
family.  They  enjoyed  several  days  at  the 
Grand  Canyon  National  Park.  At  reun- 
ion time  we  had  the  pleasure  of  meeting 
their  other  daughter,  Ann  '41,  who  lives  in 
Harrisburg.  She  came  up  to  our  table  and 
made  herself  acquainted.  A  nice  gesture 
for  the  young  people  to  even  think  of  the 
"old  folks." 

Another  person  who  looked  me  up  was 
Edna  Follmer  Butt  (Mrs.  Cameron).  Ed- 
na was  a  little  girl  who  lived  next  door  to 
Alice  and  Muff  Scott  in  Milton.  The  girls 
visit  Edna  every  year.  I  was  delighted  to 
see  her  again.  She  w^as  celebrating  her 
35th  reunion. 

The  Earle  Bartholomews  were  in  Ha- 
waii this  summer  visiting  some  of  their 
children.  I  understand  that  Earle,  Pearl 
Ream,  Eva  Himmelreich,  and  Grace  Wolfe 
had  a  wonderful  time  talking  over  old 
times  at  Lewisburg  High.  We  saw  Earle 
after  45  years. 

Pop  and  I  spent  a  few  days  in  Harris- 
burg visiting  the  children.  Saw  and  dined 
with  the  Heans  and  Mikles.  Also  attended 
tlie  dedication  of  Bruce  Butt's  new  home. 

George  Edward  O'Brien,  known  to  all 
of  us  as  "Porky"  passed  away  at  his  home 
in  Vandergrift  early  in  January  after  an 
illness  of  three  weeks.  "Porky",  a  mem- 
ber of  Sigma  Chi  fraternity,  had  distin- 
guished himself  in  athletics  and  continued 
his  interest  in  the  Bucknell  athletic  pro- 
gram after  his  graduation  by  maintaining 
regular  membership  in  the  Bison  Club  of 
Bucknell.  He  was  a  frequent  visitor  on 
the  campus  at  the  Bison  Club  breakfasts 
and  was  honored  by  the  Club  several 
vears     ago     because    of    his     outstanding 


athletic  record.  After  graduation  he  be- 
came a  general  foreman  in  the  Carnegie 
Steel  Corp.  at  Vandergrift  until  his  re- 
tirement when  he  became  office  engineer 
for  the  Pennsylvania  State  Highway  De- 
partment, a  position  he  held  for  the  last 
nine  years  of  his  life.  He  is  survived  by 
his  wife,  the  former  Pauline  Hamilton, 
and  their  two  children  to  whom  the  heart- 
felt sympathies  of  the  University  are 
extended.

MR.   CHARLES  L.   SANDERS 
76  Walnut  St.. 
Mifflinburg,  Pa. 

*-  REUNE  IN  JUNE,  1958 


That  45th  draws  nearer,  June  6  to  8. 
Baker  Bernhart  wrote  to  Clay  Sanders 
that  he  expects  to  be  there,  also  that  he 
may  be  retiring  from  active  employment 
about  that  time.  Jack  Bogert  and  Ray- 
mond Goehring  told  Marwood  Glover 
that  they  will  pass  the  word  along-  in 
their  areas.  New  York  City  and  Pitts- 
burgh. Other  chairmen  so  engaged  are 
Earl  Jackson,  Jane  Irey  Rees,  Hazel  Gal- 
loway Hemphill.  John  Fetter,  Richard 
Bowling,  Ethel  Hottenstein  Miles,  Carl- 
ton Hooker. 

In  Marwood's  Christmas  letter  he 
warmed  our  hearts  to  some  of  the  pro- 
gram for  comfort  and  recreation:  Friday 
evening  banquet,  living  adjacently  on  the 
hill,  and  promise  of  a  complete  schedule 
in  a  letter  to  follow. 

-'V  grand  letter  to  me  from  Joletta  Ar- 
thur Rhoads,  Alacon,  Ga.,  told  of  her  good 
health;  her  husband's  retirement  from 
railroad  work  last  summer,  and  some 
present  activity  in  construction;  her  son, 
Walter,  Jr.  '39,  who  spent  "two  happy 
years  at  our  Bucknell",  of  his  family  of 
"a  lovely  blond  wife  and  three  equally 
lovely  blond  daughters,"  residence,  Isle 
of  Hope,  Savannah,  Ga.  "Macon  is  beau- 
tiful, a  wonderful  place  to  live,  the  camel- 
lia season  just  over,  yards  full  of  nar- 
cissus." Jo  thinks  she  may  not  be  able 
to  come  North  in  June  but  her  heart  will 
overflow  with  joy  for  all  who  can  attend. 
My  generous  thanks,  Mrs.  R.,  for  your 
letter  of  December  9.  You  help  to  make 
my  chore  as  reporter   tolerable. 

Thus  writes  Marian  Fischler  to  M.  G. 
"I  think  it  would  be  natural  to  assume 
that  a  woman  who  graduated  from  col- 
lege 45  years  ago  would  by  this  time  have 
retired.  However  in  my  case  that  is  not 
true.  I  stopped  teaching  several  years 
ago  because  I  was  ill,  and  for  about  five 
years  I  was  too  ill  to  do  any  kind  of  work. 
At  the  end  of  that  time  chance  took  me 
into  a  newspaper  office  to  substitute  for 
someone  else  who  was  ill  and  who  never 
recovered.  Soon  after  that  I  found  my- 
self involved  with  two  out-of-town  news- 
papers, and  that,  of  course,  means  attend- 
ing all  the  things  that  happen  insofar  as 
two  do  not  happen  at  once."  Says  Re- 
porter C.  L.  S.,  lay  aside  that  facile 
pen,  Marian,  and  come  to  Lewisburg  for 
a  few  day  in  June.  Marian's  town,  Wells- 
boro. 

J.  Leslie  McKeague  has  retired  from 
his  position  as  superintendent  of  the  am- 
monia plant  of  Nitrogen  Division.  Allied 
Chemical,  in  Hopewell,  \'a.  On  Decem- 
ber 30  more  than  150  of  his  associates 
attended  an  affair  in  his  honor  for  35 
years  '  of  service  to  the  company.  Brief 
talks  were  given  by  several  employees, 
all  emphasizing  Leslie's  industrial  achieve- 
ments and  technical  know-how.  He  was 
presented  with  a  scroll  signed  by  more 
than  350  co-workers.  Besides,  he  was 
given  a  beautiful  black  walnut  knee-hole 
desk  as  a  gift  from  his  industrial  friends. 
The  entire  affair  was  tape  recorded  to  be 
a     lasting     memento     of     the     occasion. 

MARCH    1958 


"Highlight  of  the  evening,"  said  a  Hope- 
well news  item,  "was  McKeague's  ac- 
ceptance and  words  of  appreciation." 
Fellow  '13ers  rejoice  -nnth  you  in  this 
occasion  honoring  you  as  you  mark  3'our 
retirement,  Leslie. 

And  that  is  the  1913  story  as  of  Janu- 
ary 20.

Rabbi  and  Mrs.  S.  H.  Markowitz  spent 
the  summer  in  Xorway,  Sweden  and  Den- 
mark. The  following  are  his  comments 
on  their  trip. 

"As  delegates  to  the  World  L^nion  of 
Progressive  Judaism,  we  went  to  Amster- 
dam early  in  July.  Since  it  was  an  oppor- 
tunity, we  made  plans  accordingly  and 
spent  eight  weeks  in  Scandinavia.  Among 
other  reasons  for  the  trip  was  the  desire 
to  express  the  gratitude  every  American 
should  feel  toward  these  small  countries. 
We  in  -A.merica  complained  of  rationing 
while  they  had  the  Nazis  on  their  necks. 
Many  of  the  heroic  tales  of  resistance  have 
yet  to  be  written. 

"A  natural  interest  in  the  Co-operatives 
of  Israel  led  also  to  an  inquirj'  into  the 
origin  of  the  institution.  Once  again  it 
was  evident  that  no  agency  is  immune  to 
human  frailty.  Every  movement  very 
quickly  suflers  from  the  moral  weak- 
nesses of  mankind. 

"A  summer  visit  to  any  part  of  the 
world  does  not  justify  any  conclusion. 
But  tentative  assumptions  are  possible. 
One  among  others  is  worth  recording. 
Americans  might  discover  if  they  knew 
other  nations  more  intimately  that  ours 
is  not  the  only  way  in  which  man  can 
do  justly,  love  mercy  and  walk  humbly 
with   God." 

We  are  saddened  to  have  to  report  the 
death  of  Mrs.  Karl  W.  Rippel  (L.  "Peg" 
Margaret  Kreisher;  at  Fritch,  Texas,  on 
January  19,  1958,  due  to  a  heart  attack. 
.Survivors  include  our  classmate,  Karl  W, 
Rippel  and  two  grown  children  to  whom 
sincere   sympathy   is  extended.

I  may  catch  the  dt-vil  for  this  but  here 
Koci.  I  stole  it  from  my  wife's  Christmas 
Grccfing*.  Wife  Helen's  friend  and  our 
classmate    Cecelia    Kitlowski    Starzynslcl, 

MARCH    I  «  5  B 


while  in  Colorado,  came  in  contact  with 
a  large  colony  of  Russians  and  now  is 
studying  Russian  to  be  able  to  engage 
in  conversation  with  her  new  friends. 
She  is  also  tackling  Spanish.  The  gal 
was  a  whiz  in  Greek.  She  took  it  with 
Tilton  and  me  in  the  old  Prep.  .\nd  yes, 
with  Stan  Harris  '18  and  Russ  Sanders, 
Cecelia's  son  Ted  is  still  in  the  Naval 
Hospital  in  Philadelphia.  In  another  year 
he  will  be  out  of  the  service.  He  is  well 
up  on  plastic  surgery.  She  promises  to 
visit  Dot  Schnure  and  us  in  the  Spring. 
You  see  I  am  going  to  get  the  news  to 
you  even  if  I  have  to  steal  it. 

Other  Bucknellians  heard  from  this 
past  Christmas  were  Dot  Schnure,  Gurney 
ShoU  '10.  Betty  Grimm  Lewis  '42  and 
Tilton.  Dot  gave  this  reporter  a  nice  pat 
on  the  back  which  we  can  always  stand 
a  bit  of.  We  have  not  see  Gurney  and 
the  former  Ruby  Pierson  '10  since  their 
wedding.  Betty  Grimm  Lewis,  roommate 
of  our  Mary  Ellen  wrote  this  "I  certainly 
did  enjoy  the  Bucknell  reunion  and  most 
of  all  the  reunion  with  'Meo.'  Love, 
Grimmie."    This   was   the  '42  reunion. 

And  did  that  mention  of  Kink  Sprout 
'17  about  his  piscatorial  veracity  get  a 
quick  rebound.  The  guy  sent  me  another 
picture  of  some  big  fish  surrounded  by 
his  wife  and  son.  Says  he  caught  them 
on  a  bent  hook  and  with  one  hand  tied 
behind  him. 

It  looks  as  if  I  will  have  to  get  another 
letter  out  to  you  in  the  fond  hope  that 
I  can  extract  some  news  from  you. 
Otherwise  you  will  draw  a  blank  on  your 
column  and  I  know  you  don't  want  that. 
Happy   New  Year.

Just  received  a  nice  note  from  Mary 
Maurer  and  they  were  the  4th  couple 
who  had  the  pleasure  of  helping  to  cut 
the  wedding  cake  at  the  reunion.  How 
could  I  forget  them?  Mary  reports  that 
Dutch  is  getting  along  O.  K.  and  that  he 
is  following  orders  and  taking  things 
easy.    That's  good  news! 

When  we  were  working  on  our  reunion 
and  wanted  the  Home  Economic  gals  to 
come  back,  Frances  Hilgert  Higgs  offered 
to  write  to  them  for  me.  She  did  a  won- 
derful job  and  they  surely  co-operated. 
She  heard  from  every  one  of  them.  .V 
lot  of  them  couldn't  come  so  I  thought 
you'd  like  to  hear  a  little  about  them. 

Gladys  Morgan  Mortimer:  "Surely 
wish  that  I  could  come  to  B.  U.  on  June 
8  but  doubt  very  much  if  I  can  make  it 
this  year.  On  Sunday  night,  April  14, 
our  office  was  completely  destroyed  by 
fire  along  with  the  drugstore,  hardware 
store  and  post  office.  No  one  knows  the 
cause.  We  lost  everything.  Saved  only 
our  bo,x  of  accounts.  Earl  and  I  were 
heartsick  as  it  is  tough  to  start  all  over 
from  scratch  just  when  we  were  thinking 
that  in  a  few  years  we  would  be  slowing 
up.  There  was  no  place  to  move  in  town 
so  wc  moved  the  furniture  out  of  the 
living  room  of  our  honii-  and  made  it  an 
inner  office  anrl  rcarraiiKi'd  the  dining 
room  furniture  and  used  that  for  a  re- 
ception room.  I  went  to  Butler  the  next 
day  and  got  some  drugs  and  instruments 
and  that  evening  he  had  several  patients. 
Naturally  wc  have  been  more  or  less 
camping.  Earl  has  been  quite  busy  and 
seems  to  like  it  up  here,  I  have  been 
helping  birii  in  the  office,  writing  Ictlcrv, 
marking  druK'-.  kei-ping  accounts  and  liavr 
been  rm  iIk:  road  with  the  pigeons  and  In 
between  times  trying  to  do  a  little  cook 
ing  and  cleaning,  etc.  So  sorry  1  can't 
come  back  but  remember  me  to  everyone 


at  B.  U.  and  do  write  and  tell  be  about 
everyone." 

Really  I  could  not  do  justice  to  these 
letters.  They  were  so  wonderful  and  I 
had  to  hack  them  all  to  pieces  to  cut  them 
for  our  report.  You  can  see  it's  fun  to 
hear  from  old  friends.  Why  don't  you 
write  to  a  few?

REUNE  IN  JUNE,  1958 


Dear  Classmates:  Once  again  time  for 
news  of  the  members  of  the  Class  of 
1918,  and  once  again  I  want  to  recall  to 
your  minds  the  fact  that  1958  is  our 
Reunion  Year.  Time  flies  and  this  is  our 
40th,  if  you  can  still  count.  And  this  is 
the  one  to  attend — unfortunately  we  are 
all  growing  older  and  our  abilities  to 
travel  are  bound  to  lessen.  In  spite  of 
anything  any  of  you  may  say — we  are 
getting  older  every  day. 

News  is  scarce.  Seems  I  can  always 
find  something  about  some  one  in  an- 
other class — and  to  you  of  our  class  who 
knew  Sally  (Park  '17)  Titterington  I 
must  report  the  death  of  her  husband 
this  last  fall.  Sally  has  lived  in  Ontario, 
Calif.,  for  many  years. 

Back  to  Reunion.  Plans  are  progressing 
and  if  you  have  not  had  a  letter  concern- 
ing them  by  this  time  you  will  receive  it 
shortly.  If  you  are  asked  to  do  some- 
thing, please  say  yes — remember  that  this 
Reunion  comes  only  once  in  a  lifetime. 
Fortunately  we  have  a  number  of  class- 
mates living  in  Lewisburg  and  vicinity 
and  they  are  very  busy  getting  plans  set 
up  for  big  doings  down  there.  The  dates 
are  June  6-8,  in  case  you  have  forgotten 
to  put  them  down  in  your  date  book,  and 
I  certainly  hope  to  be  there  to  meet  old 
friends.     See   you   in   June.

Word  has  just  reached  us  of  tl'.c  death, 
on  June  16,  1957,  of  Harold  L.  Shaefer, 
Huglicsville.  We  wish  to  extend  our 
syiiiiiathy    to    the   members   of   his    family. 

Lillian  Greenland  Williams  and  her  hus- 
band, who  is  liead  of  the  English  depart- 
ment at  the  State  College,  .Superior,  Wise, 
are  on  leave  of  absence  this  year.  Both 
are  teaching  English  on  Fulbright  grants 
in  Thailand. 

Lois  Hamblin  Wendell  writes  "I  finally 
sent  stories  I  liad  written  to  the  editor  of 
Children's  k'rlij/ioii,  a  Congregational  meth- 
ods magazine,  and  was  asked  to  write  junior 
worship  stories  for  six  m(jnths ;  that  is  a 
twenty-six  week  series."  CoiiRraluIations,

JeHsie  Reed  Wendell,  sister  of  Rev.  Ro- 
land Wendell  .((id  sister-in-law  of  Lois 
Hamblin  Wendell,  died  December  8,  I9S7, 
of  a  iiir(i((a(v  cdibolism.  Jessie  led  <'i 
fdll    (1(11    life    and    her    many    friends    will 


miss  her.  She  was  employed  by  the  Sono- 
tone  Corporation  for  20  years,  and  had 
been  known  as  "Martha  Lane,"  the  pen 
name  she  used  in  sonotone  publications. 
She  was  known  as  a  translator  of  Span- 
ish poetry  for  the  Hispanic  Society  pub- 
lications; many  of  her  translations  have 
appeared  in  anthologies  of  poetry.  Our 
deepest  sympathy  goes  out  to  members 
of  her  family. 

Mrs.  J.  Harry  Haines  (Miriam  Halde- 
man),  414  Bendermere  Ave.,  Interlaken, 
N.  J.,  is  kept  quite  busy  with  church, 
Sunday  school,  hospital,  A.  A.  U.  VV.  and 
social  life.  When  I  saw  how  busy  she 
was,  I  appreciated  all  the  more  the  answer 
I  received  to  my  card!  They  have  one 
son,  Don,  who  attended  Bryant  College 
of  Business  Administration  in  Rhode  Is- 
land and  who  is  now  with  Sears  Roebuck 
Company.  Recently,  the  family  took  a 
trip  to  Glacier  Park,  Lake  Louise  and 
Banff,  Canada.  Miriam's  letter  also  con- 
tained news  of  six  Bucknellians  from  oth- 
er classes;  news  that  I  immediately  sent 
to  the  class  reporters.  Thank  you,  Aliriam! 

Bob  '25  and  Mildred  Houseman  Shaffer

What  a  surprise  to  have  a  visit  from 
Ruth  Mandeville  Aydelott  from  Seattle, 
Wash.  She  accompanied  her  husband  east, 
on  a  business  trip,  and  spent  three  days 
with  me.  After  twenty-seven  years,  we 
had  much  to  discuss.  I  proudly  displayed 
our  six  months  old  grandson,  son  of  our 
elder  son  Daniel,  IIL  and  his  wife  Pat, 
I  talked  up  our  1960  Reunion  and  if  she 
returns,  you  will  find  the  same  entertain- 
ing and  delightful  "Mandy." 

Charlotte  Bosler  Ellis  and  her  husband 
spent  some  time  this  summer  in  Minne- 
sota and  the  Lake  district.  While  there, 
she  wrote  Sugar  in  the  Dough  which  she 
has  dramatized  and  presented  to  many 
large  audiences.  The  proceeds  are  donated 
to  her  favorite  charities.  At  the  State 
Music  Convention,  Charlotte  was  elected 
treasurer  of  that  organization. 

A  letter  arrived  from  Beatrice  Mettler 
who  was  on  a  Christmas  Carribean  Cruise. 
It  was  a  pleasant  interlude  from  her  busj' 
life  at  Bloomsburg  State  Teachers  College. 
Her  master's  degree  was  earned  at  the 
Universities  of  Pennsylvania  and  Johns 
Hopkins. 

Greetings  from  the  Whites — Ruth  Keeb- 
ler  and  Ted.  For  many  years,  they  have 
been  located  at  McDonough  School  for 
Boj'S  in  McDonough,  Md.,  Ted  as  head- 
master and  teacher  of  U.  S.  history  and 
"Keeb,"  a  teacher  of  Spanish. 

Our  younger  son,  Robert,  has  received 
his  discharge  from  the  Air  Force  after 
four  years  of  service  and  is  once  again 
working  toward  his  degree  at  Bucknell — 
one  more  reason  for  extra  trips  to  Lewis- 
burg. 

Goldina  Guilford  Jenkins  '27  has  a  son, 
13,  and  a  daughter,  11.  She  has  returned 
to  the  teaching  profession. 

Sara  Walton  Haines  has  a  daughter 
Debbie  in  the  freshman  class  at  Bucknell. 

As  you  notice,  I  missed  the  January 
issue  due  to  no  news  received.  Classmates, 
please  drop  a  line  to  me.  I  enjoy  hearing 
from  you  and  our  Bucknell  friends  look 
forward  to  reading  the  news.

Clyde  George  Learn,  Jr. 

It  isn't  often  that  we  have  a  picture  to 
send  along  to  THE  BUCKNELL 
ALUMNUS.  Clyde  George  Learn  (Bun-

four  years  of  age.  After  thirty-one  years 
with  duPont,  "Bunny"  still  swears  it's 
the  world's  best  organization.  I'm  sure 
the  Learn's  would  like  to  hear  from  their 
many  friends  at  2016  Beech  Rd.,  Rich- 
mond, Va. 

Deepest  sympathy  is  extended  to  the 
family  of  Albert  O.  Dreher  who  passed

the  excellent  newsletter  on  campus  life. 
We  feel  so  much  closer  to  B.  U.  through 
his  evaluation  of  Bucknell  activities. 
Thanks  also  to  the  Alumni  Office  for  their 
most  competent  and  thorough  work,  par- 
ticularly in  their  addenda  to  news  that 
makes  deadlines  too  late  for  the  reporter 
to  do  the  write-up.  Their  Christmas  gift 
to  the  reporters  was  a  letter  opener  which 
we  hope  will  be  needed  for  many  letters 
from  '35ers. 

Speaking  of  worries,  Ed  Hartman  and 
I  are  concerned  about  the  lack  of  support 
for  the  Alumni  Fund  among  members  of 
our  class.  We  are  going  all  out  to  get 
our  class  to  improve  its  standing.  Volun- 
tary contributions  to  all  phases  of  educa- 
tion must  prove  that  this  system  can  work 
in  these  critical  times.  All  we  ask  is  that 
you  send  some  contribution — no  matter 
how  small.  Our  level  is  only  19  per  cent 
when  it  should  be  90! 

Ed  writes  that  he  lives  at  Webster,  N, 
Y,,  and  is  manager.  Industrial  Relations 
Plans  Administration  with  Eastman  Ko- 
dak. The  Hartmans  have  three  children; 
the  oldest  attends  the  LTniversity  of 
Rochester  where  she  is  taking  nursing 
education.  They  regret  Bucknell  could 
not  offer  this  course. 

I  am  grateful  to  those  of  you  who  have 
sent  such  encouraging  letters.  Please  con- 
tinue to  write,  even  if  it's  just  a  line — I 
treasure  every  one!

Just  loo  late  to  be  included  in  the  last 
issue  came  a  chatty  letter  from  Frances 
Rockwell  Dentler.  Frances  and  husband 
\\':ii  rtii  are  living  at  1903  College  Drive, 
Xittoria,  Texas,  where  they  are  busy 
with  choir  activities,  church  work,  and 
their  newest  hobby,  square-dancing.  Fact 
is,  lliey  have  started  a  square-dancing 
cliil).  Frances  has  had  an  interesting  time 
of  it  since  graduation.  Always  a  bit  of 
glamour  in  her  pursuits.  Her  most  pro- 
saic job  was  school  teaching,  and  even 
that  was  done  for  a  time  in  I'lierlo  Rico. 
Then  there  was  ;iirline  hostessing  and  a 
radio  job.  Sotmds  like  a  satisfying  life, 
l'"r;ui(es,  even  though  you  miss  tin;  snows 
of  Pennsylvania.  What's  a  little  frozen 
rain?  Now  if  only  some  of  the  rest  of 
you  would  lake  pen  in  hand. 

It  always  comes  as  a  shock  to  me  to 
discover  (hat  some  of  us  have  another 
generalirin  old  enough  for  college,  (Al- 
ready?)  Marie  Schaff  Aniivh  has  a  son  in 

19 


the  freshman  class.  I  remember  George 
Marshall  came  back  to  otir  reunion  all  by 
himself  because  Eloise  (Klinetob)  was  at- 
tending their  daughter's  high  school  grad- 
uation. There  are  some  others,  too,  who 
are  hoping  college  expenses  will  be  tax- 
deductable.  Over  at  the  other  end  of  the 
line,  near  the  diaper  and  bottle  stage,  is 
Hazel  Jackson  Mielke,  whose  son  James 
was  a  year  old  in  January.  Hazel,  ac- 
cording to  the  reunion  booklet,  was  hold- 
er of  the  title  of  PYCBMCN  (Parent  of 
the  Youngest  Child  Born  to  a  Member 
of  the  Class  of  '37).     Any  contenders? 

(Editor's  note— This  is  a  good  spot  to 
add  the  following  note).  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Willard  H.  Leavitt  welcomed  a  son  into 
their  home  on  November  6,  1957.  They 
live  on  Lake  Road,  R.  D.  2,  Ballston  Lake, 
N.  Y. 

We  were  sorrv  to  learn  of  the  death 
of  John  E.  Piatt  on  last  August  9.  Our 
sincere  sympathy  is  extended  to  members 
of  his  family. 

Some  of  you  may  be  interested  in  know- 
ing that  one  of  Bucknell's  adopted  sons, 
Dr.  Ivan  Murray  Rose,  has  retired  as  min- 
ister of  the  First  Baptist  Church  in  Phil- 
adelphia. Dr.  Rose  has  been  on  the  camp- 
us as  a  baccalaureate  speaker.  Some  of 
you  made  First  Baptist  your  church  while 
doing  graduate  work  in  Philadelphia.  Oth- 
er Bucknellians  know  Dr.  Rose  more  in- 
timately, having  served  as  his  assistants 
during  their  seminary  davs.  Among  them 
are  Bruce  McGraw  '39,  Clarence  Cranford 
'29  and  Paul  Humphreys  '28. 

I  do  hope  I  will  hear  from  more  of  you. 
Even  a  new  address  is  news,  you  know. 
And  so  helpful  come  next  Christmas.

REUNE  IN  JUNE,  1958 


Some  pleasant  news  has  been  received 
about  three  of  our  classmates: 

William  H.  Dauberman  has  been  pro- 
moted to  the  position  of  senior  district 
engineer  with  the  Westinghouse  Corpora- 
tion. He  has  been  with  the  company  since 
1940  and  taught  at  their  technical  school 
from  1942  to  1947.  He  is  married  to  the 
former  Helen  Hisdorf,  has  three  children, 
Susan,  11;  Lucinda,  9;  David  5;  and  lives 
at  4663  W.  226th  St.,  Fairview  Park, 
Cleveland  26,  Ohio. 

Abraham  J.  Zager  was  recently  elected 
national  president  of  his  fraternity,  Sigma 
Alpha  Mu,  at  its  48th  annual  convention 
in  Minneapolis,  Minn.  His  election  to  the 
presidency  of  Sigma  Alpha  Mu  follows 
many  years  of  service  as  regional  gover- 
nor, national  treasurer  and  vice  president. 

W.  R.  Peebles  has  been  appointed  Di- 
rector of  Management  Development  for 
International  Latex  Company,  Dover, 
Del.  Bill  will  be  moving  with  his  family 
from  Hamilton  Square,  N.  J.,  to  the  new 
location  in  the  near  future. 

We  are  hard  at  work  shaping  up  plans 
for  the  reunion.  Don't  forget!  June  6-8 
should  be  reserved  for  the  trip  to  Lewis- 
burg.  Please  mail  your  questionnaires 
for  the  Reunion  Book  to  Isabelle  Clouser, 
if  you  have  not  alreadv  done  this. 


A  man  we  know,  asked  to  give  a  refer- 
ence for  another  acquaintance  of  ours, 
wrote  this:  "I  don't  know  anything  good 
about  him— but  then,  I  don't  know  any- 
thing bad  about  him,  either."  My  dilem- 
ma is  somewhat  different— I  don't  know 
ANYTHING  about  the  class  to  impart. 
I  take  that  back— there  are  some  tid- 
ings, thanks  to  Christmas  and  notes  en- 
closed with  cards.  Helen  Sanders  Chris- 
tian writes  that  her  two  daughters  keep 
her  embroiled  in  activities  auxiliary  to 
theirs,  probably  busier  than  they  are. 

Les  McDowell,  his  wife  Jan,  and  their 
two  dau.ghters.  Heather,  13,  and  Sheila. 
11,  are  absorbed  in  their  so-called  spare 
time  with  their  pre-Revolutionary  house, 
of  which  there  was  a  reproduction  and 
short  historv  on  their  Christmas  greeting. 
From  the' Dr.  John  C.  Winters  we  learn 
that  they  are  making  plans  to  move  back 
to  Williamsport  this  summer,  when  Jack 
expects  to  be  finished  at  the  University  of 
Pittsburgh.  He  will  specialize  in  internal 
medicine. 

Peregrinations  and  propinquitation  (I 
doubt  if  that  is  really  a  word,  but  it  sounds 
good)  have  resulted,  too,  in  encounters 
with  Bucknellians,  and  such.  Again  in 
Ann  Arbor  this  fall  it  was  good  to  see 
Leah  Decker  Porter  '28.  She  is  a  class- 
mate of  Miss  Grace  Cooley  '26,  who  guid- 
ed me  and  several  others  of  us  through 
Latin  in  the  ninth  grade.  A  Bucknell 
couple.  Robert  '45  and  L  e  o  n  a  Ervine 
Sprague  '44,  of  Grand  Rapids,  Mich.,  were 
also  on  liand.  Bob  is  the  son  of  Professor 
F.  A.  Sprague. 

During  a  trip  to  the  University  of  Chi- 
cago jusl  before  Christmas  I  had  a  chance 
to  talk  with  Dr.  Robert  E.  Streeter  '38, 
who  is  dean  of  the  college  there.  Bob 
reports  that  the  Chicago  Alumni  Club  has 
been  inactive  lately,  but  here's_  hoping 
we'll  be  hearing  soon  of  their  activities.

Robert  A.  Stebbins  is  superintendent  of 
the  mill  manufacturing  rod,  wire  and  wire 
products  for  the  Bethlehem  Steel  Com- 
pany at  Johnstown.  He  is  married  to  the 
former  Donna  R.  Meaker  and  has  three 
children:  Lloyd,  14;  Jane,  11;  and  Donna 
Jean,  7.  The  family  home  is  at  603  View- 
mont  Ave.,  Johnstown. 

That's  all  the  news  for  now — how  about 
dropping  me  a  note! 


Rev.  John  R.  Lepke,  near  the  close  of  a 
year's  furlough  from  the  mission  fields  of 
South  Africa,  finds  he  will  not  be  return- 
ing there  at  this  time  and  is  settled  in 
the  parish  ministry  in  Oconomowoc,  Wis., 
in  the  beautiful  lake  region  about  35  miles 
from  Milwaukee.  Much  as  they  enjoyed 
the  foreign  missionary  work,  the  family 
is  enjoying  the  life  there  where  they  have 
a  grand  congregation,  interesting  church 
and  social  activities  and  a  busjr  household. 
They  find  here  far  less  social  tension,  but 
a  much  faster  tempo  of  life.  The  teakettle 
is  kept  boiling  at  30  Church  St.,  Oco- 
nomowoc, Wis.,  ready  for  your  knock  on 
the  door. 

Thomas  O,  Meyer  is  associated  with 
America's  most  crucial  defense  project  as 
an  engineer  with  the  Missile  and  Ord- 
nance Systems  Department  of  the  Gen- 
eral Elec.ric  Company  in  Philadelphia. 
He  is  working  on  the  development  of  the 
nose  cone  for  the  Atlas  ICBM  and  Thor 
IRBM.  A  picture  of  Tom's  and  Marion's 
(Phillips  '43)  children  appeared  in  the 
1940  class  column  of  the  January  issue  of 
THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  J.  Colahan  (Gladys  Chu- 
domelka)  and  their  two  children,  Christie, 
1,  and  Laurie,  2,  have  moved  to  a  new 
home.  Their  welcome  mat  is  out  for  all 
visitors  at  25  Meadow  Lark  Rd.,  Strat- 
ford, N.  J. 

A  daughter,  Marijane  Minto,  was  born 
to  Mr,  and  Mrs.  John  F.  Zeller,  III,  on 
February  19,  1957.

Must  have  been  the  rush  of  the  prepara- 
tions for  Christmas  that  has  prevented  my 
hearing  from  anyone  except  my  own  cir- 
cle of  friends  with  whom  I've  always  kept 
in  touch.  In  this  case,  no  news  is  not 
good  news,  so  let's  get  with  the  writing, 
guys  and  gals,  or  this  column  will  be 
rather  sparse  in  news  hereafter.  Inci- 
dentally, our  big  old  house  with  lots  of 
room  and  plenty  of  yard  space  is  always 
open  to  any  Bucknellian.  We're  only  45 
minutes  from  Philadelphia  via  the  Schuyl- 
kill Expressway — 6  miles  above  the  Val- 
ley Forge  Interchange,  so  if  you're  ever 
in  this  neck  of  the  woods,  please  come 
see  us,  or,  at  least,  give  us  a  phone  call. 

Christmas  cards  with  pictures  of  the 
children  or  the  families  are  always  so 
much  fun  to  receive  and  one  of  the  nicest 
surprises  this  vear  was  a  picture  of  the 
whole  Bill  Carson  family  (Betty  Thomas). 
Bill  and  Betty  and  their  two  children, 
Patty,  12,  and  Kit,  the  new  addition  to 
the  family,  live  at  811  W.  Lawrence  St., 
Mishawaka,  Ind.  In  case  you're  wonder- 
ing, Betty  is  still  as  beautiful  as  ever! 
I'm  sure  if  my  name  were  Carson,  and  I 
had  a  son,  I  couldn't  have  resisted  calling 
him  "Kit,"  either. 

Since  quite  a  bit  of  news  was  omitted 
in  our  Reunion  report  because  of  lack  of 
space,  I'd  like  to  remind  everyone  that 
the  Class  of  '42  is  doing  its  best  to  popu- 
late future  Bucknell  classes  with  the  hon- 
ors for  the  most  children  from  alums  re- 
turning to  the  reunion  going  to  Billy 
(Poling  '43)  Roy  and  Phil  with  6!  None 
at  the  Reunion  had  five  but  when  it  came 
to  4,  you  should  have  seen  the  hands  go 
up!  Didn't  even  bother  to  count  the 
alums  with  3!  Know  by  the  grapevine 
that  there  should  be  several  new  births 
reported  in  this  issue,  but  without  official 
notice,  I'm  afraid  to  print  them.  "All  I 
want  are  the  facts,  ma'm,"  so  let's  hear 
from  you.

Hi  ho,  aloha,  and  all  that.  After  miss- 
ing two  straight  issues  of  this  chronicle, 
we  herewith  return.  Call  it  a  reason  or  an 
excuse — I  have  a  good  one.  It  there  is 
just  one  post  card  asking  what  it  is,  I'll 
set  forth  the  same  at  some  length  in  the 
next  issue.  (A  safe  proposition.  The  mail 
volume  has  been  exactly  schlock,  as,  no 
doubt,  are  these  outpourings  obiter  made.) 

Just  for  the  record,  we  must  add  one 
name  of  a  good  and  true  classmate  who 
was  at  the  tenth  reunion  last  June,  but 
whose  name  did  not  appear  in  the  report 
thereof.  She  is  Mary  Frederick  Keon,  who 
came  all  the  way  from  R.  D.  2,  Lansdale. 
Fredd}',  the  omission  rends  our  collective 
soul.    Someone  messed  up,  not  I. 

A.  Thomas  Wilson,  at  age  35,  has  be- 
come U.  S.  Commissioner  for  the  Middle 
District  of  Pennsylvania.  Tom  appears  to 
be  one  of  the  yougest  men  ever  to  hold 
the  position,  which  empowers  him  to  sit  as 
a  magistrate  in  cases  involving  persons 
charged  with  violating  the  federal  laws, 
also  to  hear  cases  of  petty  ofYenses  occur- 
ring on  the  U.  S.  Penitentiary  reservation

We  Need  A  Revival  of  A  Respect  For  Learning 


Time  was  when  "alumnus"  was  only  a 
status  term,  a  designation  of  having  spent 
four  years  on  a  college  campus.  Today, 
"alumnus"  should  mean  a  man,  (or  a  wo- 
man) with  a  mission  and  a  function  impor- 
tant to  survival  of  the  values  we  prize  and 
to  survival  of  our  way  of  life  itself.  He  is 
a  member  of  a  minority  (85%  of  Americans 
never  went  to  College — only  6  out  of  a 
hundred  have  college  degrees)  who  should 
produce  and  multiply  and,  above  all,  improve 
his  kind  by  encouragement  of  young  people 
along  the  path  of  learning. 

The  alumnus  should  of  all  people  in  our 
country  appreciate  the  intellectual  heritage — 
the  faith  in  education — that  has  enriched 
our  western  world.  He  should  reread  now 
and  again  an  early  and  simple  expression  of 
that  heritage  and  faith.  In  the  Dialogues, 
Socrates  says  to  Meno : 

"Some  things  I  have  said  of  zvhich  I  am 
not    altogether    confident.     But    that    we 
shall  be  better  and  braver  and  less  help- 
less if  we  think  zae  ought  to  inquire,  than 
zve  would  have  been  if  we  indulged  in  the 
idle  fancy  that  there  was  no  knowing  and 
no  use  in  searching  after  lohat  we  knoiv 
not; — that  is  a   theme  upon  which  I  am 
ready  to  fight,  in  'word  and  deed,  to   the 
utmost  of  my  pozver." 
And  we  are  today  "better  and  braver  and 
less   helpless"   because  the  monastics   linked 
their   faith   in   God  with   faith   in   education 
and  preserved  those  very  words  of  Socrates 
and    preserved    learning    in    general    when 
barbarian  hordes  brought  on  the  Dark  Ages. 
We  are  today  "better  and  braver  and  less 
helpless"    because    in    the    twelfth    century 
men  who  loved  learning  established  univer- 
sities at  Bologna,  Paris,  Oxford,  Cambridge 
— because  a  renaissance  of  learning  occurred 


in  which  the  da  Vincis,  the  Michelangelos, 
the  Erasmuses,  the  Copernicuses,  the  Gali- 
leos, the  Francis  Bacons,  the  Newtons,  the 
Harveys,  descarteses,  the  Pascals — the  list 
is  long  —  painted  and  did  sculpture  and 
criticized  and  wrote  and  philosophized,  and 
started  intellectual  revolutions,  and  founded 
scientific  societies,  and  generally  practised 
the  arts  that  befit  free  men. 

We  are  today  "better  and  braver  and  less 
helpless"  because  Thomas  Jefferson  had  a 
higher  education  (William  and  Mary  Class 
of  1764)  equal  to  the  task  of  writing  the 
Declaration  of  Independence ;  because  James 
Madison  (College  of  New  Jersey  Class  of 
1773)  mastered  the  liberal  arts  well  enough 
to  father  the  Constitution  of  the  United 
States — because  today  in  colleges  and  uni- 
versities around  the  country  and  the  free 
world  there  are  men  and  women  (all  alumni 
themselves)  who  do  basic  research,  build 
cyclotrons,  know  the  inplications  of  E=MC-, 
and  come  up  with  the  know-how  to  enable 
the  free  world  to  defend  itself. 

Certainly  some  17,000  of  us  are  "better 
and  braver  and  less  helpless"  because  112 
years  ago  James  Moore,  III,  founder  of 
Bucknell,  and  his  associates  resolved  that 
there  be  at  Lewisburg  "an  institution  of  the 
highest  order." 

"What  happens  to  American  education 
will  eventually  happen  to  America"  is  more 
than  a  slogan.  It  is  a  sound  prediction.  And 
what  happens  at  Bucknell  will  make  a  dif- 
ference in  the  total  outcome.  We  may  not 
be  able  to  affect  materially  the  future  of 
every  institution  of  higher  education  in  this 
country,  but  Bucknell  deserves  our  proud 
allegiance,  and  through  it  we  can  demon- 
strate that  "Knowledge  is  power"  both  to 
survive  and  to  grow  in  strength.

all  its  national  diversity,  strength,  urgency  and  opportunity. 
We  hope  it  provides  the  perspective  that  shows  Bucknell 
in  its  world  orientation. 

If  THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNUS  has  done  its  job,  you 
know  what  Bucknell  is  attempting  in  action  and  planning, 
and  it  is  from  this  information  that  you,  as  alumni,  must 
base  your  responsibility  to  your  Alma  Mater. 

In  the  following  32  pages  you  may  look  in  vain  for 
direct  mention  of  Bucknell  University.  You  will  find  no 
illustration  specific  to  our  campus  or  activities.  But  along- 
side many  paragraphs  and  many  photos  you  will  find  an 
implicit  check  mark  of  relevance.  Named  or  not,  Bucknell 
University  is  there.

A  SPECIAL  REPORT 


AMERICAN 
HIGHER  EDUCATION 

1958 


ITS  PRESSING  PROBLEMS  AND  NEEDS  ARE 
EXCEEDED  ONLY  BY  ITS  OPPORTUNITIES 


THIS  is  a  special  report.  It  is  published  because  the 
lime  has  come  for  colleges  and   universities — and 
their  alumni — to  recognize  and  act  upon  some  ex- 
traordinary challenges  and  opportunities. 

Item:  Three  million,  sixty-eight  thousand  young  men  and 
women  are  enrolled  in  America's  colleges  and  universities 
this  year — 45  per  cent  more  than  were  enrolled  six  years 
ago,  although  the  number  of  young  people  in  the  eighteen- 
to-twenty-one  age  bracket  has  increased  only  2  per  cent  in 
the  same  period.  A  decade  hence,  when  colleges  will  feel 
the  elTccls  of  the  unprecedented  birth  rales  of  the  mid- 
I940's,  today's  already-enormous  enrollments  will  double. 
Item:  In  the  midsl  of  planning  lo  serve  more  students, 
higher  education  is  faced  with  the  problem  of  not  losing 
sight  of  its  exlraonlinaiy  students.  "What  is  going  lo  happen 
to  the  genius  or  two  in  this  crowd?"  asked  a  professor  at 
one  big  university  this  Icrm,  waving  his  hand  at  a  seemingly 
endless  line  of  students  waiting  to  liH  "\\\  rnnns  at  registra-

liGHER  education  in  America 
had  its  beginnings  when  the  Puritans 
founded  a  college  to  train  their  ministers. 
Here,  reflected  in  a  modern  library 
window,  is  the  chapel  spire  at  Harvard. 


tion  desks.  "Heaven  knows,  if  the  free  world  ever  needed 
to  discover  its  geniuses,  it  needs  to  do  so  now."  President 
Robert  Gordon  Sproul  of  the  University  of  California 
puts  it  this  way:  "If  we  fail  in  our  hold  upon  quality,  the 
cherished  American  dream  of  universal  education  will 
degenerate  into  a  nightmare." 

Item:  A  college  diploma  is  the  sine  qua  non  for  almost 
any  white-collar  job  nowadays,  and  nearly  everybody 
wants  one.  In  the  scramble,  a  lot  of  students  are  going 
to  college  who  cannot  succeed  there.  At  the  Ohio  State 
University,  for  instance,  which  is  required  by  law  to 
admit  every  Ohioan  who  owns  a  high-school  diploma 
and  is  able  to  complete  the  entrance  blanks,  two  thousand 
students  flunked  out  last  year.  Nor  is  Ohio  State's 
problem  unique.  The  resultant  waste  of  teaching  talents, 
physical  facilities,  and  money  is  shocking — to  say 
nothing  of  the  damage  to  young  people's  self-respect. 

Item:  The  cost  of  educating  a  student  is  soaring.  Like 
many  others.  Brown  University  is  boosting  its  fees  this 
spring:  Brown  students  henceforth  will  pay  an  annual 
tuition  bill  of  $1,250.  But  it  costs  Brown  $2,300  to 
provide  a  year's  instruction  in  return.  The  difference 
between  charges  and  actual  cost,  says  Brown's  President 
Barnaby  C.  Keeney,  "represents  a  kind  of  scholarship 
from  the  faculty.  They  pay  for  it  out  of  their  hides." 

Item:  The  Educational  Testing  Service  reports  that 
lack  of  money  keeps  many  of  America's  ablest  high- 
school  students  from  attending  college — 150,000  last 
year.  The  U.  S.  Oifice  of  Education  found  not  long  ago 
that  even  at  public  colleges  and  universities,  where 
tuition  rates  are  still  nominal,  a  student  needs  around 
$1,500  a  year  to  get  by. 

Item:  Non-monetary  reasons  are  keeping  many  promis- 
ing young  people  from  college,  also.  The  Social  Science 
Research  Council  offers  evidence  that  fewer  than  half  of 
the  students  in  the  upper  tenth  of  their  high-school 
classes  go  on  to  college,  in  addition  to  lack  of  money, 
a  major  reason  for  this  defection  is  "lack  of  motivation." 

Item:  At  prcsenl  rates,  only  one  in  eight  college 
teachers  can  ever  expect  to  earn  more  than  $7,500  a 
year.  If  colleges  are  to  attract  and  hold  competent 
teachers,  says  Devereux  C.  .Io.scphs,  chairman  of  the 
President's  Committee  on  Education  Beyond  the  High 
School,  faculty  salaries  must   be  increased   by  at  least 


From  its  simple  beginnings, 

American  higher  education  has  grown  into 

1,800  institutions  of  incredible 

diversity.  At  the  right  is  but  a  sampling 

of  their  vast  interests  and  activities. 


50  per  cent  during  the  next  five  years.  Such  an  increase 
would  cost  the  colleges  and  universities  around  half  a 
billion  dollars  a  year. 

Item:  Some  critics  say  that  too  many  colleges  and 
universities  have  been  willing  to  accept — or,  perhaps 
more  accurately,  have  failed  firmly  to  reject — certain 
tasks  which  have  been  oflFered  to  or  thrust  upon  them, 
but  which  may  not  properly  be  the  business  of  higher 
education  at  all.  "The  professor,"  said  one  college 
administrator  recently,  "should  not  be  a  carhop  who 
answers  every  demanding  horn.  Educational  institutions 
must  not  be  hot-dog  stands." 

Item:  The  colleges  and  universities,  some  say,  are  not 
teaching  what  they  ought  to  be  teaching  or  are  not 
teaching  it  effectively.  "Where  are  the  creative  thinkers?" 
they  ask.  Have  we,  without  quite  realizing  it,  grown  into 
a  nation  of  gadgeteers,  of  tailfin  technicians,  and  lost 
the  art  of  basic  thought?  (And  from  all  sides  comes  the 
worried  reminder  that  the  other  side  launched  their 
earth  satellites  first.) 

THESE  are  some  of  the  problems — only  some  of 
them — which  confront  American  higher  education 
in   1958.  Some  of  the  problems  are  higher  edu- 
cation's own  offspring;  some  are  products  of  the  times. 
But  some  are  born  of  a  fact  that  is  the  identifying 
strength  of  higher  education  in  America:  its  adaptability 
to  the  free  world's  needs,  and  hence  its  diversity. 

indeed,  so  diverse  is  it — in  organization,  sponsorship, 
purpose,  and  philosophy — that  perhaps  it  is  fallacious 
to  use  the  generalization,  "American  higher  education," 
at  all.  It  includes  320-year-old  Harvard  and  the  University 
of  Southern  Florida,  which  now  is  only  on  the  drawing 
boards  and  will  not  open  until  I960.  The  humanities 
research  center  at  the  University  of  Texas  and  the 
course  in  gunsmithing  at  Lassen  Junic^r  College  in 
Susanville,  California.  Vassar  and  the  U.  S.  Naval 
Academy.  The  University  of  California,  with  its  forty- 
two  thousand  students,  and  Deep  Springs  Junior  College, 
on  the  eastern  side  of  the  same  state,  with  only  nineteen. 
Altogether  there  are  more  than  1,800  American  insti- 
tutions which  offer  "higher  education,"  and  no  two  of 
them  are  alike.  Some  are  liberal-arts  colleges,  some  are

'iTH  growth  ha\e  come  problems 

for  the  colleges  and  universities.  One  of 

the  most  pressing,  today,  is  swelling 

enrollments.  Already  they  are  straining 

higher  education's  campuses  and 

teaching  resources.  But  the  present  large 

student  population  is  only  a  fraction 

of  the  total  expected  in  the  next  decade.

vast  universities,  some  specialize  in  such  fields  as  law, 
agriculture,  medicine,  and  engineering.  Some  are  sup- 
ported by  taxation,  some  are  affiliated  with  churches, 
some  are  independent  in  both  organization  and  finance. 
Thus  any  generalization  about  American  higher  edu- 
cation will  have  its  exceptions — including  the  one  that 
all  colleges  and  universities  desperately  need  more  money. 
(Among  the  1,800,  there  may  be  one  or  two  which 
don't.)  In  higher  education's  diversity — the  result  of  its 
restlessness,  its  freedom,  its  geography,  its  competitive- 
ness— lies  a  good  deal  of  its  strength. 

^V  MERICAN  higher  education  in  1958  is  hardly  what 
L^^  the  Puritans  envisioned  when  they  founded  the 
#  m  country's  first  college  to  train  their  ministers  in 
1636.  For  nearly  two  and  a  half  centuries  after  that,  the 
aim  of  America's  colleges,  most  of  them  founded  by 
churches,  was  limited:  to  teach  young  people  the  rudi- 
ments of  philosophy,  theology,  the  classical  languages, 
and  mathematics.  Anyone  who  wanted  a  more  extensive 
education  had  to  go  lo  Europe  for  it. 

One  break  from  tradition  came  in  1876,  with  the 
founding  of  the.lohns  Hopkins  University.  Here,  for  the 
lirsi  time,  was  an  American  inslilution  with  Fuiropcan 
standards  of  advanced  study  in  ihc  arts  ami  sciences. 

Other  schools  soon  followed  Ihc  Hopkins  example. 
And  wilh  the  advanced  standards  came  an  emphasis  on 
research.    No  longer   did    American    university   scholars 


I N  the  flood  of  vast  numbers  of  students, 

the  colleges  and  universities  are  concerned  that 

they  not  lose  sight  of  the  individuals 

in  the  crowd.  They  are  also  worried  about  costs: 

every  extra  student  adds  to  their  financial  deficits.

simply  pass  along  knowledge  gained  in  Europe;  they 
began  to  make  significant  contributions  themselves. 

Another  spectacular  change  began  at  about  the  same 
time.  With  the  growth  of  science,  agriculture — until 
then  a  relatively  simple  art — became  increasingly  com- 
plex. In  the  1850"s  a  number  of  institutions  were  founded 
to  train  people  for  it,  but  most  of  them  failed  to  survive. 

In  1862,  however,  in  the  darkest  hours  of  the  Civil 
War,  Abraham  Lincoln  signed  the  Morrill  Land-Grant 
Act,  offering  each  state  public  lands  and  support  for 
at  least  one  college  to  teach  agriculture  and  the  mechanic 
arts.  Thus  was  the  foundation  laid  for  the  U.  S.  state- 
university  system.  "In  all  the  annals  of  republics,"  said 
Andrew  D.  White,  the  first  president  of  one  institution 
founded  under  the  act,  Cornell  University,  "there  is  no 
more  significant  utterance  of  confidence  in  national 
destiny,  out  from  the  midst  of  national  calamity." 

NOW  there  was  no  stopping  American  higher  edu- 
cation's growth,  or  the  growth  of  its  diversity. 
Optimistically  America  moved  into  the  I900's, 
and  higher  education  moved  with  it.  More  and  more 
Americans  wanted  to  go  to  college  and  were  able  to  do 
so.  Public  and  private  institutions  were  established  and 
expanded.  Tax  dollars  by  the  millions  were  appropriated, 
and  philanthropists  like  Rockefeller  and  Carnegie  and 
Stanford  vied  to  support  education  on  a  large  scale. 
Able  teachers,  now  being  graduated  in  numbers  by 
America's  own  universities,  joined  their  staffs. 

In  the  universities'  graduate  and  professional  schools, 
research  flourished.  It  reached  outward  to  explore  the 
universe,  the  world,  and  the  creatures  that  inhabit  it. 
Scholars  examined  the  past,  enlarged  and  tended  man's 
cultural  heritage,  and  pressed  their  great  twentieth- 
century  search  for  the  secrets  of  life  and  matter. 

Participating  in  the  exploration  were  thousands  of 
young  Americans,  poor  and  rich.  As  students  they  were 
acquiring  skills  and  sometimes  even  wisdom.  And,  with 


their  professors,  they  were  building  a  uniquely  American 
tradition  of  higher  education  which  has  continued  to 
this  day. 

OUR  aspirations,  as  a  nation,  have  never  been 
higher.  Our  need  for  educational  excellence  has 
never  been  greater.  But  never  have  thechallenges 
been  as  sharp  as  they  are  in  1958. 

Look  at  California,  for  one  view  of  American  edu- 
cation's problems  and  opportunities — and  for  a  view  of 
imaginative  and  daring  action,  as  well. 

Nowhere  is  the  public  appetite  for  higher  education 
more  avid,  the  need  for  highly  trained  men  and  women 
more  clear,  the  pressure  of  population  more  acute.  In  a 
recent  four-year  period  during  which  the  country's 
population  rose  7.5  per  cent,  California's  rose  some 
17.6  per  cent.  Californians — with  a  resoluteness  which 
is,  unfortunately,  not  typical  of  the  nation  as  a  whole — 
have  shown  a  remarkable  determination  to  face  and  even 
to  anticipate  these  facts. 

They  have  decided  that  the  state  should  build  fifteen 
new  junior  colleges,  thirteen  new  state  colleges,  and  five 
new  campuses  for  their  university.  (Already  the  state 
has  135  institutions  of  higher  learning;  sixty-three  private 
establishments,  sixty-one  public  junior  colleges,  ten  state 
colleges,  and  the  University  of  California  with  eight 
campuses.  Nearly  40  cents  of  every  tax  dollar  goes  to 
support  education  on  the  state  level.) 

But  California  has  recognized  that  providing  new 
facilities  is  only  part  of  the  solution.  New  philosophies 
are  needed,  as  well. 

The  students  looking  for  classrooms,  for  example,  vary 
tremendously,  one  from  the  other,  in  aptitudes,  aims, 
and  abilities.  "If  higher  education  is  to  meet  the  varied 
needs  of  students  and  also  the  diverse  requirements  of 
an  increasingly  complex  society,"  a  California  report 
says,  "there  will  have  to  be  corresponding  diversity 
among  and   within  educational  institutions.  ...  It  will

not  be  sufficient  for  California — or  any  other  state,  for 
that  matter — simply  to  provide  enough  places  for  the 
students  who  will  seek  college  admission  in  future  years. 
It  will  also  have  to  supply,  with  reasonable  economy 
and  efficiency,  a  wide  range  of  educational  programs." 

Like  all  of  the  country,  California  and  Californians 
have  some  big  decisions  to  make. 

DR.  LEWIS  H.  CHRISMAN  is  a  professor  of 
English  at  West  Virginia  Wesleyan,  a  Methodist 
college  near  the  town  of  Buckhannon.  He  ac- 
cepted an  appointment  there  in  1919,  when  it  consisted 
of  just  five  major  buildings  and  a  coeducational  student 
body  of  150.  One  of  the  main  reasons  he  took  the  appoint- 
ment, Dr.  Chrisman  said  later,  was  that  a  new  library 
was  to  be  built  "right  away." 

Thirty  years  later  the  student  body  had  jumped  to 
720.  Nearly  a  hundred  other  students  were  taking  ex- 
tension and  evening  courses.  The  zooming  postwar  birth 
rate  was  already  in  the  census  statistics,  in  West  Virginia 
as  elsewhere. 

But  Dr.  Chrisman  was  still  waiting  for  that  library. 
West  Virginia  Wesleyan  had  been  plagued  with  problems. 
Not  a  single  major  building  had  gone  up  in  thirty-five 
years.  To  catch  up  with  its  needs,  the  college  would  have 
to  spend  5500,000. 

For  a  small  college  to  raise  a  half  million  dollars  is 
often  as  tough  as  for  a  state  university  to  obtain  perhaps 
ten  times  as  much,  if  not  tougher.  But  Wesleyan's 
president,  trustees,  faculty,  and  alumni  decided  that  if 
independent  colleges,  including  church-related  ones,  were 
lo  be  as  significant  a  force  in  the  times  ahead  as  they  had 
been  in  the  past,  they  must  try. 

Now  West  Virginia  Wesleyan  has  an  eiglUy-thousand- 
volume  library,  three  other  buildings  completed,  a  fifth 
lo  be  ready  this  spring,  and  nine  more  on  the  agenda. 

A  group  of  people  reached  a  hard  decision,  and  then 
made  it  work.  Dr.  Chrisman's  hopes  have  been  more 
than  fullillcd. 

So  it  goes,  all  over  America.  The  U.  S.  Otlice  of  Edu- 
cation recently  asked  the  colleges  and  universities  how 
much  ihcy  arc  spending  on  new  conslruclion  this  year.

I  HE  most  serious  shortage  that  higher  education  taces 

is  in  its  teaching  staffs.  Many  are  underpaid, 

and  not  enough  young  people  are  entering  the  field. 

Here,  left  to  right,  are  a  Nobel  Prizewinning  chemist, 

a  Bible  historian,  a  heart  surgeon,  a  physicist,  and  a  poet. 


Ninety  per  cent  of  them  replied.  In  calendar  1958,  they 
are  spending  $1,078  billion. 

Purdue  alone  has  $37  million  worth  of  construction 
in  process.  Penn  has  embarked  on  twenty-two  projects 
costing  over  $31  million.  Wake  Forest  and  Goucher  and 
Colby  Colleges,  among  others,  have  left  their  old  campuses 
and  moved  to  brand-new  ones.  Stanford  is  undergoing 
the  greatest  building  boom  since  its  founding.  Every- 
where in  higher  education,  the  bulldozer,  advance  agent 
of  growth,  is  working  to  keep  up  with  America's  insati- 
able, irresistible  demands. 


BUILDING  PROJECTS,  however,  are  only  the 
outward  and  visible  signs  of  higher  education's 
effort  to  stay  geared  to  the  times.  And  in  many 
ways  they  are  the  easiest  part  of  the  solution  to  its 
problems.  Others  go  deeper. 


Not  long  ago  the  vice  president  of  a  large  university 
was  wondering  aloud.  "Perhaps,"  he  said,  "we  have 
been  thinking  that  by  adding  more  schools  and  institutes 
as  more  knowledge  seemed  necessary  to  the  world,  we 
were  serving  the  cause  of  learning.  Many  are  now  calling 
for  a  reconsideration  of  what  the  whole  of  the  university 
is  trying  to  do." 

The  problem  is  a  very  real  one.  In  the  course  of  her 
200-year-plus  history,  the  university  had  picked  up  so 
many  schools,  institutes,  colleges,  projects,  and  "centers" 
that  almost  no  one  man  could  name  them  all,  much  less 
give  an  accurate  description  of  their  functions.  Other 
institutions  are  in  the  same  quandary. 

Why?  One  reason  is  suggested  by  the  vice  president's 
comment.  Another  is  the  number  of  demands  which  we 
as  a  nation  have  placed  upon  our  institutions  of  higher 
learning. 

We  call  upon  them  to  give  us  space-age  weapons  and

polio  vaccine.  We  ask  them  to  provide  us  with  lumber- 
men and  liberally  educated  PTA  presidents,  doctors  and 
statesmen,  business  executives  and  poets,  teachers  and 
housewives.  We  expect  the  colleges  to  give  us  religious 
training,  better  fertilizers,  extension  courses  in  music 
appreciation,  fresh  ideas  on  city  planning,  classes  in 
square  dancing,  an  understanding  of  medieval  literature, 
and  basic  research. 

The  nation  docs  need  many  services,  and  higher  edu- 
cation has  never  been  shy  about  offering  to  provide  a 
great  portion  of  them.  Now  however,  in  the  face  of  a 
multitude  of  pressures  ranging  from  the  population 
surge  to  the  doubts  many  people  have  about  the  quality 
of  American  thought,  there  are  those  who  arc  wondering 
if  America  is  not  in  danger  of  ovcr-exicnding  its  edu- 
cational resources;  if  we  haven't  demanded,  and  if  under 
the  banner  of  higher  education  our  colleges  and  universi- 
ties haven't  taken  on.  too  much. 


^^M ERICA  has  never  been  as  ready  to  pay  for  its 
L\  educational  services  as  it  has  been  to  request 
#  \  them.  A  single  statistic  underlines  the  point.  We 
spend  about  seven  tenths  of  1  per  cent  of  our  gross 
national  product  on  higher  education.  (Not  that  we 
should  look  to  the  Russians  to  set  our  standards  for  us 
— but  it  is  worth  noting  that  they  spend  on  higher 
education  more  than  2  per  cent  of  //;('//•  gross.) 

As  a  result,  this  spring,  many  colleges  and  universities 
find  themselves  in  a  tightening  vise.  It  is  not  only  that 
prices  have  skyrocketed;  the  real  cost  of  providing 
education  has  risen,  too.  As  knowledge  has  broadened 
and  deepened,  for  example,  more  complicated  and 
costly  equipment  has  become  essential. 

Keeling  the  financial  squee/c  most  painfully  arc  Ihc 
faculty  members.  The  average  salary  of  a  college  or 
university  teacher  in  America  today  is  just  over  115, ()()(). 
The  average  salary  of  ;i  riill  prcilcssor  is  just  over  t>7,()()(). 


It  is  a  frequent  occurrence  on  college  campuses  for  a 
graduating  senior,  nowadays,  to  be  offered  a  starting 
salary  in  industry  that  is  higher  than  that  paid  to  most 
of  the  faculty  men  who  trained  him. 

On  humane  grounds  alone,  the  problem  is  shocking. 
But  it  is  not  limited  to  a  question  of  humaneness;  there 
is  a  serious  question  of  national  welfare,  also. 

"Any  institution  that  fails  through  inability  or  de- 
linquency to  attract  and  hold  its  share  of  the  best 
academic  minds  of  the  nation  is  accepting  one  of  two 
consequences,"  says  President  Cornells  W.  de  Kiewiet  of 
the  University  of  Rochester.  "The  first  is  a  sentence  of 
inferiority  and  decline,  indeed  an  inferiority  so  much 
greater  and  a  decline  so  much  more  intractable  that 
trustees,  alumni,  and  friends  can  only  react  in  distress 
when  they  finally  see  the  truth.  .  .  . 

"The  second  ...  is  the  heavy  cost  of  rehabilitation 
once  the  damage  has  been  done.  In  education  as  in  busi- 
ness there  is  no  economy  more  foolish  than  poor  mainte- 
nance and  upkeep.  Staffs  that  have  been  poorly  maintained 
can  be  rebuilt  only  at  far  greater  cost.  Since  even  less- 
qualified  and  inferior  people  are  going  to  be  in  short 
supply,  institutions  content  to  jog  along  will  be  denied 
even  the  solace  of  doing  a  moderate  job  at  a  moderate 
cost.  It  is  going  to  be  disturbingly  expensive  to  do  even 
a  bad  job." 

The  effects  of  mediocrity  in  college  and  university 
teaching,  if  the  country  should  permit  it  to  come  about, 
could  only  amount  to  a  national  disaster. 

WITH  the  endless  squeezes,  economies,  and 
crises  it  is  experiencing,  it  would  not  be 
particularly  remarkable  if  American  higher 
education,  this  spring,  were  alternately  reproaching  its 
neglecters  and  struggling  feebly  against  a  desperate  fate. 
By  and  large,  it  is  doing  nothing  of  the  sort. 

Instead,  higher  education  is  moving  out  to  meet  its 
problems  and,  even  more  significantly,  looking  beyond 
them.  Its  plans  take  into  account  that  it  may  have  twice 
as  many  students  by  1970.  It  recognizes  that  it  must  not, 
in  this  struggle  to  accommodate  quantity,  lose  sight  of 
quality  or  turn  into  a  molder  of  "mass  minds."  It  is  con- 
tinuing to  search  for  ways  to  improve  its  present  teaching. 
It  is  charting  new  services  to  local  communities,  the 
nation,  and  vast  constituencies  overseas.  It  is  entering 
new  areas  of  research,  so  revolutionary  that  it  must 
invent  new  names  for  them.

c 


ONSIDER  the  question  of  maintaining  quality 
amidst  quantity.  "How,"  educators  ask  them- 
selves, "can  you  educate  everyone  who  is  ambi- 


tious and  has  the  basic  qualifications,  and  still  have  time, 
teachers,  and  money  to  spend  on  the  unusual  boy  or 
girl?  Are  we  being  true  to  our  belief  in  the  individual  if 
we  put  everyone  into  the  same  mold,  ignoring  human 
differences?  Besides,  let's  be  practical  about  it:  doesn't 
this  country  need  to  develop  every  genius  it  has?" 

There  is  one  approach  to  the  problem  at  an  institution 
in  eastern  California,  Deep  Springs.  The  best  way  to  get 
there  is  to  go  to  Reno,  Nevada,  and  then  drive  about  five 
hours  through  the  Sierras  to  a  place  called  Big  Pine. 
Deep  Springs  has  four  faculty  members,  is  well  endowed, 
selects  its  students  carefully,  and  charges  no  tuition  or 
fees.  It  cannot  lose  sight  of  its  good  students:  its  total 
enrollment  is  nineteen. 

At  another  extreme,  some  institutions  have  had  to

devote  their  time  and  effort  to  training  as  many  people 
as  possible.  The  student  with  unusual  talent  has  had  to 
find  it  and  develop  it  without  help. 

Other  institutions  are  looking  for  the  solution  some- 
where in  between. 

The  University  of  Kansas,  for  example,  like  many 
other  state  universities,  is  legally  bound  to  accept  every 
graduate  of  an  accredited  state  high  school  who  applies, 
without  examinations  or  other  entrance  requirements. 
"Until  recently,"  says  Dean  George  Waggoner  of  Kan- 
sas'* College  of  Liberal  Arts  and  Sciences,  "many  of  us 
spent  a  great  deal  of  our  time  trying  to  solve  the  problem 
of  marginal  students." 

In  the  fall  of  1955,  the  university  announced  a  pro- 
gram designed  especially  for  the  "gifted  student."   Its 


objective:  to  make  sure  that  exceptional  young  men  and 
women  would  not  be  overlooked  or  under-exposed  in  a 
time  of  great  student  population  and  limited  faculty. 

Now  Kansas  uses  state-wide  examinations  to  spot 
these  exceptional  high-school  boys  and  girls  early.  It 
invites  high-school  principals  to  nominate  candidates  for 
scholarships  from  the  upper  5  per  cent  of  their  senior 
classes.  It  brings  the  promising  high-school  students  to 
its  Lawrence  campus  for  furlher  testing,  screening,  and 
selection. 

When  they  arrive  at  the  university  as  freshmen,  the 
students  find  themselves  in  touch  with  a  special  faculty 
committee.  It  has  the  power  to  waive  many  academic 
rules  for  them.  They  are  allowed  to  take  as  large  a  bile 
of  educa(iiiM  as  they  can  swallow,  and  the  usual  course 


^_vEN  in  institutions  with  thousands 
of  students,  young  people  with 
extraordinary  talents  can  be  spotted 
and  developed.  This  teacher  is  leading 
an  honors  section  at  a  big  university. 


prerequisites  do  not  apply;  they  may  enter  junior  and 
senior-level  courses  if  they  can  handle  the  work.  They 
use  the  library  with  the  same  status  as  faculty  members 
and  graduate  students,  and  some  serve  as  short-term 
research  associates  for  professors. 

The  force  of  the  program  has  been  felt  beyond  the 
students  and  the  faculty  members  who  are  immediately 
involved.  It  has  sent  a  current  throughout  the  College  of 
Liberal  Arts  and  Sciences.  All  students  on  the  dean's 
honor  roll,  for  example,  no  longer  face  a  strict  limit  in 
the  number  of  courses  they  may  take.  Departments  have 
strengthened  their  honor  sections  or,  in  some  cases, 
established  them  for  the  first  time.  The  value  of  the 
program  reaches  down  into  the  high  schools,  too,  stimu- 
lating teachers  and  attracting  to  the  university  strong 
students  who  might  otherwise  be  lost  to  Kansas. 

Across  the  country,  there  has  been  an  attack  on  the 
problem  of  the  bright  student's  boredom  during  his  early 
months  in  college.  (Too  often  he  can  do  nothing  but 
fidget  restlessly  as  teachers  gear  their  courses  to  students 
less  talented  than  he.)  Now,  significantly  large  numbers 
are  being  admitted  to  college  before  they  have  finished 
high  school;  experiments  with  new  curricula  and  oppor- 
tunities for  small  discussion  groups,  fresh  focus,  and 
independent  study  are  found  in  many  schools.  Founda- 
tions, so  influential  in  many  areas  of  higher  education 
today,  are  giving  their  support. 


The  "qualily  v.v.  quantity"  issue  has  other  ramifica- 
tions. ""Education's  problem  of  the  future,"  says  President 
Eidon  L.  Johnson  of  the  University  of  New  Hampshire, 
""is  the  relation  of  mind  and  mass.  .  .  .  The  challenge  is 
to  reach  numbers  without  mass  treatment  and  the 
creation  of  mass  men.  ...  It  is  in  this  setting  and  this 
philosophy  that  the  slate  university  finds  its  place." 

And,  one  might  add,  the  independent  institution  as 
well.  For  the  old  idea  that  the  public  school  is  concerned 
with  quantity  and  the  pri\ate  school  with  quality  is  a 
false  one.  All  of  .American  higher  education,  in  its  diver- 
sity, must  meet  the  twin  needs  of  extraordinary  persons 
and  a  better  educated,  more  thoughtful  citizenry. 


WH.\T  is  a  better  educated,  more  thoughtful 
citi/.enry?  And  how  do  we  get  one?  If  Ameri- 
ca's colleges  and  universities  thought  they 
had  the  perfect  answers,  a  pleasant  complacency  might 
spread  across  the  land. 

In  Ihc  offices  of  those  who  are  responsible  for  laying 
out  programs  of  education,  however,  there  is  anything 
but  complacency.  Ever  since  they  stopped  being  content 
with  a  simple  curriculum  of  theology,  philosophy,  Latin, 
Greek,  and  math,  the  colleges  and  universities  have  been 
searching  for  belter  ways  of  educating  their  students  in 
breadth  as  well  as  depth.  And  they  are  still  hunting. 


Take  the  efforts  at  Amherst,  as  an  example  of  what 
many  are  doing.  Since  its  founding  Amherst  has  devel- 
oped and  refined  its  curriculum  constantly.  Once  it 
offered  a  free  elective  system:  students  chose  the  courses 
they  wanted.  Next  it  tried  specialization:  students  selected 
a  major  field  of  study  in  their  last  two  years.  Next,  to 
make  sure  that  they  got  at  least  a  taste  of  many  different 
fields,  Amherst  worked  out  a  system  for  balancing  the 
elective  courses  that  its  students  were  permitted  to  select. 

But  by  World  War  II,  even  this  last  refinement  seemed 
inadequate.  Amherst  began — again — a  re-evaluation. 

When  the  self-testing  was  over,  Amherst's  students 
began  taking  three  sets  of  required  courses  in  their  fresh- 
man and  sophomore  years:  one  each  in  science,  history, 
and  the  humanities.  The  courses  were  designed  to  build 
the  groundwork  for  responsible  lives:  they  sought 
to  help  students  form  an  integrated  picture  of  civiliza- 
tion's issues  and  processes,  (But  they  were  not  "surveys" 
—or  what  Philosophy  Professor  Gail  Kennedy,  chairman 
of  the  faculty  conimittee  that  developed  the  program, 
calls  "those  superficial  omnibus  affairs,") 

How  did  the  student  body  react?  Angrily,  When  Pro- 
fessor Arnold  B,  Arons  first  gave  his  course  in  physical 
science  and  mathematics,  a  wave  of  resentment  arose.  It 
culminated  at  a  mid-year  dance.  The  music  stopped,  con- 
versations ceased,  and  the  students  observed  a  solemn, 
Iwo-miniilc  silence. They  called  it  a  "I  late  Arons  Silence." 


But  at  the  end  of  the  year  they  gave  the  professor  a 
standing  ovation.  He  had  been  rough.  He  had  not  pro- 
vided his  students  with  pat  answers.  He  had  forced  them 
to  think,  and  it  had  been  a  shock  at  first.  But  as  they  got 
used  to  it,  the  students  found  that  thinking,  among  all  of 
life's  experiences,  can  sometimes  be  the  most  exhilarating. 


TO  TEACH  them  to  think:  that  is  the  problem. 
It  is  impossible,  today,  for  any  school,  under- 
graduate or  professional,  to  equip  its  students 
with  all  the  knowledge  they  will  need  to  become  compe- 
tent engineers,  doctors,  farmers,  or  business  men.  On  the 
other  hand,  it  can  provide  its  students  with  a  chance  to 
discover  something  with  which,  on  their  own,  they  can 
live  an  extraordinary  life:  their  ability  to  think. 


THUS,  in  the  midst  of  its  planning  for  swollen 
enrollments,  enlarged  campuses,  balanced  bud- 
gets, and  faculty-procurement  crises,  higher  edu- 
cation gives  deep  thought  to  the  effectiveness  of  its 
programs.  When  the  swollen  enrollments  do  come  and 
the  shortage  of  teachers  does  become  acute,  higher 
education  hopes  it  can  maintain  its  vitality.

lo  IMPROVE  the  effectiveness  of  their 
teaching,  colleges  and  universities 
are  experimenting  with  new  techniques  like 
recordings  of  plays  (above)  and  television, 
which  (Ic/r)  can  bring  medical  students 
a  closeup  view  of  delicate  experiments. 


JIAKVAUI)   I'NIVlOHHt'iY 


To  stretch  teaching  resources  without  sacrificing  (and, 
perhaps,  even  improving)  their  effectiveness,  it  is  explor- 
ing such  new  techniques  as  microfilms,  movies,  and 
television.  At  Rensselaer  Polytechnic  Institute,  in  Troy, 
New  York,  the  exploration  is  unusually  intense. 

RPI  calls  its  concerted  study  "Project  Reward."  How 
good,  Project  Reward  asks,  are  movies,  audio-visual  aids, 
closed-circuit  television?  How  can  we  set  up  really  ef- 
fective demonstrations  in  our  science  courses?  How  much 
more  effective,  if  at  all,  is  a  small  class  than  a  big  one? 
Which  is  better :  lecture  or  discussion  groups?  Says  Roland 
H.  Trathen,  associate  head  of  Rensselaer's  department 
of  mechanics  and  a  leader  in  the  Project  Reward  enter- 
prise, when  he  is  asked  about  the  future,  "If  creative 
contributions  to  teaching  are  recognized  and  rewarded 
in  the  same  manner  as  creative  contributions  to  research, 
we  have  nothing  to  fear." 

The  showman  in  a  good  professor  comes  to  the  fore 
when  he  is  offered  that  new  but  dangerous  tool  of  com- 
munication, television.  Like  many  gadgets,  television  can 
be  used  merely  to  grind  out  more  degree-holders,  or — in 
the  hands  of  imaginative,  dedicated  teachers — it  can  be 
a  powerful  instrument  for  improvement. 

Experiments  with  television  are  going  on  all  over  the 
place.  A  man  at  the  University  of  Oregon,  this  spring, 
can  teach  a  course  simultaneously  on  his  own  campus 
and  three  others  in  the  state,  thanks  to  an  electronic  link. 
Pennsylvania  State  experimented  with  the  medium  for 
three  years  and  discovered  that  in  some  cases  the  TV 
students  did  better  than  their  counterparts  who  saw  their 
instructors  in  the  flesh. 

The  dangers  in  assembly-line  education  are  real.  But 
with  new  knowledge  about  how  people  actually  learn — 
and  new  devices  to  help  them  learn — interesting  pos- 
sibilities appear. 

Even  so,  some  institutions  may  cling  to  time-worn 
notions  about  teaching  until  they  are  torn  loose  by 
the  current  of  the  age.  Others  may  adulterate  the  quality 
of  their  product  by  rushing  into  short-cut  schemes.  The 
reader  can  hope  that  his  college,  at  least,  will  use  the 
new  tools  wisely:  with  courage  yet  with  caution.  Most 
of  all,  he  can  hope  that  it  will  not  be  forced  into  adopting 
them  in  desperation,  because  of  poverty  or  its  inability 
to  hold  good  teachers,  but  from  a  position  of  confidence 
and  strength. 


y^MERICAN  higher  education  does  not  limit  itself 

Ljk    to  college  campuses  or  the  basic  function  of  edu- 

#       »  eating  the  young.  It  has  assumed  responsibility 

for  direct,  active,  specific  community  service,  also. 

"Democracy's  Growing  Edge,"  the  Teacher's  College 


of  the  University  of  Nebraska  calls  one  such  service 
project.  Its  sponsors  are  convinced  that  one  of  the  basic 
functions  of  local  schools  is  to  improve  their  communi- 
ties, and  they  are  working  through  the  local  boards  of 
education  in  Nebraska  towns  to  demonstrate  it. 

Consider  Mullen  (pop.  750),  in  northwest  Nebraska's 
sandhills  area,  the  only  town  in  its  cattle-ranching  county. 
The  nearest  hospital  is  ninety  miles  away.  Mullen  needs 
its  own  clinic;  one  was  started  six  years  ago,  only  to  bog 
down.  Under  the  university's  auspices,  with  Mullen's 
school  board  coordinating  the  project  and  the  Teacher's 
College  furnishing  a  full-time  associate  coordinator,  the 
citizens  went  to  work.  Mullen  now  has  its  clinical  facilities. 

Or  consider  Syracuse,  in  the  southeast  corner  of  the 
state,  a  trading  center  for  some  three  thousand  persons. 
It  is  concerned  about  its  future  because  its  young  people 
are  migrating  to  neighboring  Lincoln  and  Omaha;  to 
hold  them,  Syracuse  needs  new  industry  and  recreational 
facilities.  Again,  through  the  university's  program,  towns- 
people have  taken  action,  voting  for  a  power  con- 
tract that  will  assure  sufficient  electricity  to  attract 
industry  and  provide  opportunities  for  youth. 

Many  other  institutions  currently  are  offering  a  variety 


■■■■■-Si  ffHiVi 


of  community  projects — as  many  as  se\enty-eight  at  one 
state  university  this  spring.  Some  samples: 

The  University  of  Dayton  has  tailored  its  research 
program  to  the  needs  of  local  industry  and  offers  training 
programs  for  management.  Ohio  State  has  planted  the 
nation's  first  poison  plant  garden  to  find  out  why  some 
plants  are  poisonous  to  livestock  when  grown  in  some 
soils  yet  harmless  in  others.  Northwestern's  study  of 
traffic  problems  has  grown  into  a  new  transportation 
center.  The  Uni\ersity  of  Southern  California  encourages 
able  high-school  students  to  work  in  its  scientific  labora- 
tories in  the  summer.  Regis  College  runs  a  series  of 
economics  seminars  for  Boston  professional  women. 

Community  ser\ice  takes  the  form  of  late-afternoon 
and  evening  colleges,  also,  which  offer  courses  to  school 
teachers  and  business  men.  Television  is  in  the  picture, 
too.  Thousands  of  New  Yorkers,  for  example,  rise  before 
dawn  to  catch  New  York  University's  "Sunrise  Semester," 
a  stiff  and  stimulating  series  of  courses  on  WCBS-TV. 

In  California,  San  Bernardino  Valley  College  has  gone 
on  radio. One  night  a  week,  members  of  more  than  seventy- 
five  discussion  groups  gather  in  private  homes  and  turn 
on  their  sets.  For  a  half  hour,  they  listen  to  a  program 


UNIVERSITY   OK  OKL.\HOM.\ 


such  as  "Great  Men  and  Great  Issues"  or  "The  Ways  of 
Mankind,"  a  study  of  anthropology. 

When  the  program  is  over  (it  is  then  8:30),  the  living- 
room  discussions  start.  People  talk,  argue,  raise  ques- 
tions— and  learn.  One  thousand  of  them  are  hard  at  it. 
all  over  the  San  Bernardino  Valley  area. 

Then,  at  ten  o'clock,  they  turn  on  the  radio  again.  A 
panel  of  experts  is  on.  Members  of  the  discussion  groups 
pick  up  their  phones  and  ask  questions  about  the  night's 
topic.  The  panel  gi\es  its  answers  over  the  air. 

Says  one  participant,  "1  learned  that  people  who  once 
seemed  dull,  uninteresting,  and  pedestrian  had  exciting 
things  to  say  if  I  would  keep  my  mouth  shut  and  let 
them  say  it." 

When  it  thinks  of  community  services,  American  higher 
education  does  not  limit  itself  to  its  own  back  yard. 

Behind  the  new  agricultural  chemistry  building  at  the 
University  of  the  Philippines  stand  bare  concrete  columns 
which  support  nothing.  The  jungle  has  grown  up  around 
their  bases.  But  you  can  still  see  the  remains  of  buildings 
which  once  housed  one  of  the  most  distinguished  agri- 
cultural schools  in  the  Far  East,  the  university's  College 
of  Agriculture.  When  Filipinos  returned  to  the  campus 
after  World  War  II,  they  found  virtually  nothing. 

The  needs  of  the  Philippines"  devastated  lands  for 
trained  men  were  clear  and  immediate.  The  faculty  began 
to  put  the  broken  pieces  back  together  again,  but  it  was 
plain  that  the  rebuilding  would  take  decades. 

In  1952,  Cornell  University's  New  York  State  College 
of  Agriculture  formed  a  partnership  with  them.  The  ob- 
jective: to  help  the  Filipinos  rebuild,  not  in  a  couple  of 
generations,  but  in  a  few  years.  Twelve  top  faculty  mem- 
bers from  Cornell  have  spent  a  year  or  more  as  regular 
members  of  the  staff.  Filipinos  have  gone  to  New  York 
to  take  part  in  programs  there. 

Now,  Philippine  agriculture  has  a  new  lease  on  life — 
and  Filipinos  say  that  the  Cornell  partnership  should 
receive  much  of  the  credit.  Farms  are  at  last  big  enough 
to  support  their  tenants.  Weeds  and  insects  are  being 
brought  under  control.  Cirassland  yields  are  up.  And  the 
college  enrollment  has  leaped  from  little  more  than  a 
hundred  in  1945  to  more  than  four  thousand  today. 

In  Peru,  the  North  Carolina  College  of  Agriculture

in  education).  Harvard  is  providing  technical  advice  and 
assistance  to  Latin  American  countries  in  developing 
and  maintaining  nutrition  programs. 


THUS  emerges  a  picture  of  American  higher  edu- 
cation, 1958.  Its  diversity,  its  hope  that  it  can 
handle  large  numbers  of  students  without  losing 
sight  of  quality  in  the  process,  its  willingness  to  extend 
its  services  far  beyond  its  classrooms  and  even  its  home 
towns:  all  these  things  are  true  of  America's  colleges  and 
universities  today.  They  can  be  seen. 

But  not  as  visible,  like  a  subsurface  flaw  in  the  earth's 
apparently  solid  crust,  lie  some  facts  that  may  alter  the 
landscape  considerably.  Not  enough  young  people,  for 
instance,  are  currently  working  their  way  through  the 
long  process  of  preparation  to  become  college  and  uni- 
versity teachers.  Others,  who  had  already  embarked  on 
faculty  careers,  are  leaving  the  profession.  Scholars  and 
teachers  are  becoming  one  of  the  American  economy's 
scarcest  commodities. 

Salary  scales,  as  described  earlier  in  this  article,  are 
largely  responsible  for  the  scarcity,  but  not  entirely. 

Three  faculty  members  at  the  University  of  Oklahoma 
sat  around  a  tabic  not  long  ago  and  tried  to  explain  why 
Ihcy  arc  staying  where  they  arc.  All  arc  young.  All  arc 
brilliant  men  who  have  turned  down  lucrative  jobs  in 
business  or  industry.  All  have  been  oHercd  higher-paying 
posts  at  other  universities. 


^—VERYWHERE — in  business,  government, 
the  professions,  the  arts — college 
graduates  are  in  demand.  Thus  society  pays 
tribute  to  the  college  teacher. 
It  relies  upon  him  today  as  never  before. 


"It's  the  atmosphere,  call  it  the  teaching  climate,  that 
keeps  me  here,"  said  one. 

"Teachers  want  to  know  they  are  appreciated,  that 
their  ideas  have  a  chance,"  said  another.  "1  suppose  you 
might  say  we  like  being  a  part  of  our  institution,  not 
members  of  a  manpower  pool." 

"Oklahoma  has  made  a  real  effort  to  provide  an  op- 
portunity for  our  opinions  to  count,"  said  the  third.  "Our 
advice  may  be  asked  on  anything  from  hiring  a  new  pro- 
fessor to  suggesting  salary  increases." 

The  University  of  Oklahoma,  like  many  other  institu- 
tions but  M/;like  many  more,  has  a  self-governing  faculty. 
"The  by-products  of  the  university  government,"  says 
Oklahoma's  Professor  Cortez  A.  M.  Ewing,  "may  prove 
to  be  its  most  important  feature.  In  spite  of  untoward 
conditions — heavy  teaching  loads,  low  salaries,  and  mar- 
ginal physical  and  laboratory  resources,  to  mention  a 
few — the  spirit  of  co-operation  is  exceeded  only  by  the 
dedication  of  the  faculty." 

The  professor  worth  his  title  must  be  free.  He  must  be 
free  to  explore  and  probe  and  investigate.  He  must  be 
free  to  pursue  the  truth,  wherever  the  chase  may  take 
him.  This,  if  the  bread-and-butter  necessities  of  salary 
scales  can  be  met,  is  and  will  always  be  the  great  attrac- 
tion of  college  and  university  teaching.  We  must  take 
care  that  nothing  be  allowed  to  diminish  it. 


GONE  is  the  old  caricature  of  the  absent-minded, 
impractical  academician.  The  image  of  the  col- 
lege professor  has  changed, just  as  the  image  of 
the  college  boy  and  the  college  alumnus  has  changed.  If 
fifty  years  ago  a  college  graduate  had  to  apologize  for  his 
education  and  even  conceal  it  as  he  entered  the  business 
world,  he  does  so  no  longer.  Today  society  demands  the 
educated  man.  Thus  society  gives  its  indirect  respect  to 
the  man  who  taught  him,  and  links  a  new  reliance  with 
that  respect. 

It  is  more  than  need  which  warrants  this  esteem  and 
reliance.  The  professor  is  aware  of  his  world  and 
travels  to  its  coldest,  remotest  corners  to  learn  more 
about  it.  Nor  does  he  overlook  the  pressing  matters  at 
the  very  edge  of  his  campus.  He  takes  part  in  the  Inter- 
national Geophysical  Year's  study  of  the  universe;  he 
attacks  the  cancer  in  the  human  body  and  the  human 
spirit;  he  nourishes  the  art  of  living  more  readily  than 
the  art  of  killing;  he  is  the  frontiersman  everywhere.  He 
builds  and  masters  the  most  modern  of  tools  from  the 
cyclotron  to  the  mechanical  brain.  He  remembers  the 
artist  and  the  philosopher  above  the  clamor  of  the 
machine. 
The  professor  still  has  the  color  that  his  students  recall. 


and  he  still  gets  his  applause  in  the  spring  at  the  end  of 
an  inspiring  semester  or  at  the  end  of  a  dedicated  career. 
But  today  there  is  a  difference.  It  is  on  him  that  the  nation 
depends  more  than  ever.  On  him  the  free  world  relies— 
just  as  the  enslaved  world  does,  too. 

DR.  SELMAN  A.  WAKSMAN  of  Rutgers  was 
not  interested  in  a  specific,  useful  topic.  Rather, 
he  was  fascinated  by  the  organisms  that  live  in 
a  spadeful  of  dirt. 

A  Russian  emigrant,  born  in  a  thatched  house  in 
Priluka,  ninety  miles  from  the  civilization  of  Kiev,  he 
came  to  the  United  States  at  the  age  of  seventeen  and 
enrolled  in  Rutgers.  Early  in  his  undergraduate  career  he 
became  interested  in  the  fundamental  aspects  of  living 
systems.  And,  as  a  student  of  the  College  of  Agriculture, 
he  looked  to  the  soil.  For  his  senior  project  he  dug  a 
number  of  trenches  on  the  college  farm  and  took  soil 
samples  in  order  to  count  the  different  colonies  of  bacteria. 

But  when  he  examined  the  samples  under  his  micro- 
scope, Waksman  saw  some  strange  colonies,  different 
from  either  bacteria  or  fungi.  One  of  his  professors  said 
they  were  only  "higher  bacteria."  Another,  however, 
identified  them  as  little-known  organisms  usually  called 
actinomyces. 

Waksman  was  graduated  in  1915.  As  a  research  as- 
sistant in  soil  bacteriology,  he  began  working  toward  a 
master's  degree.  But  he  soon  began  to  devote  more  and 
more  time  to  soil  fungi  and  the  strange  actinomyces.  He 
was  forever  testing  soils,  isolating  cultures,  transferring 
cultures,  examining  cultures,  weighing,  analyzing. 

Studying  for  his  Ph.D.  at  the  University  of  California, 
he  made  one  finding  that  interested  him  particularly. 
Several  groups  of  microbes  appeared  to  live  in  harmony, 
while  others  fed  on  their  fellows  or  otherwise  inhibited 
their  growth.  In  1918  Waksman  returned  to  Rutgers  as 
a  microbiologist,  to  continue  his  research  and  teaching. 


Rl'TGERS      UNIVERSITY 


VjoME  research  by  faculty 
members  strikes  people  as  "point- 
less." It  was  one  such 
pointless  project  that  led 
Dr.  Selman  A.  Waksman  {left)  to 
find  streptomycin.  Good  basic 
research  is  a  continuing  need. 


In  1923  one  of  his  pupils,  Rene  Dubos,  isolated  tyro- 
thricin  and  demonstrated  that  chemical  substances  from 
microbes  found  in  the  soil  can  kill  disease-producing 
germs.  In  1932  Waksman  studied  the  fate  of  tuberculosis 
bacteria  in  the  soil.  In  1937  he  published  three  papers  on 
antagonistic  relations  among  soil  micro-organisms.  He 
needed  only  a  nudge  to  make  him  turn  all  his  attention 
to  what  he  was  later  to  call  "antibiotics." 

The  war  provided  that  nudge.  Waksman  organized  his 
laboratory  staff  for  the  campaign.  He  soon  decided  to 
focus  on  the  organisms  he  had  first  met  as  an  undergradu- 
ate almost  thirty  years  before,  the  actinomyces.  The  first 
antibiotic  substance  to  be  isolated  was  called  actinomy- 
cin,  but  it  was  so  toxic  that  it  could  have  no  clinical 
application;  other  antibiotics  turned  out  to  be  the  same. 
It  was  not  until  the  summer  of  1943  that  the  breakthrough 
came. 

One  day  a  soil  sample  from  a  heavily  manured  field 
was  brought  into  the  laboratory.  The  workers  processed 
it  as  they  had  processed  thousands  of  others  before.  But 
this  culture  showed  remarkable  antagonism  to  disease- 
producing  bacteria.  It  was  a  strain — streptomyces  griseus 
— that  Waksman  had  puzzled  over  as  a  student.  Clinical 
tests  proved  its  effectiveness  against  some  forms  of  pneu- 
monia, gonorrhea,  dysentery,  whooping  cough,  syphilis, 
and,  most  spectacularly,  TB. 

Streptomycin  went  into  production  quickly.  Along 
with  the  many  other  antibiotics  that  came  from  the  soil, 
it  was  labeled  a  "miracle  drug."  Waksman  received  the 
Nobel  Prize  and  the  heartfelt  praise  of  millions  through- 
out the  world. 

In  a  sense,  discoveries  like  Dr.  Waksman's  are  acci- 
dents; they  are  unplanned  and  unprogrammed.  They 
emerge  from  scholarly  activity  which,  judged  by  appear- 
ances or  practical  yardsticks,  is  aimless.  But  mankind 
has  had  enough  experience  with  such  accidents  to  have 
learned,  by  now,  that  "pure  research" — the  pursuit  of 
knowledge  for  the  sake  of  knowledge  alone — is  its  best 
assurance  that  accidents  will  continue  to  happen.  When 
Chicago's  still-active  Emeritus  Professor  Herman  Schles- 
inger  got  curious  about  the  chemical  linkage  in  a  rare 
and  explosive  gas  called  diobrane,  he  took  the  first  steps 
toward  tne  development  of  a  new  kind  of  jet  and  rocket 
fuel — accidentally.  When  scientists  at  Harvard  worked 
on  the  fractionization  of  blood,  they  were  accidentally 
making  possible  the  development  of  a  substitute  for  whole 
blood  which  was  so  desperately  needed  in  World  War  II. 

But  what  about  the  University  of  Texas's  Humanities 
Research  Center,  set  up  to  integrate  experiments  in  lin- 
guistics, criticism,  and  other  fields?  Or  the  Missouri 
expedition  to  Cyprus  which  excavated  an  Early-Bronze-

that  is  the  challenge.  Above,  medical

Age  site  at  Episkopi  three  years  ago  and  is  planning  to 
go  back  again  this  year?  Or  the  research  on  folk  ballads 
at  the  University  of  Arkansas?  In  an  age  of  ICBM's,  what 
is  the  value  of  this  work? 

If  there  is  more  to  human  destiny  than  easing  our  toils 
or  enriching  our  pocketbooks,  then  such  work  is  im- 
portant. Whatever  adds  to  man's  knowledge  will  inevi- 
tably add  to  his  stature,  as  well.  To  make  sure  that  higher 
education  can  keep  providing  the  opportunities  for  such 
research  is  one  of  1958  man's  best  guarantees  that  human 
life  will  not  sink  to  meaninglessness. 


yVLFRED  NORTH  WHITEHEAD  once  said,  "In 
L\    the  conditions  of  modern  life,  the  rule  is  abso- 
/      \  lute;    the   race   which    does   not   value   trained 
intelligence  is  doomed." 

In  recent  months,  the  American  people  have  begun  to 
re-learn  the  truth  of  Whitehead's  statement.  For  years 
the  nation  has  taken  trained  intelligence  for  granted — or, 
worse,  sometimes  shown  contempt  for  it,  or  denied  the 
conditions  under  which  trained  intelligence  might  flour- 
ish. That  millions  are  now  recognizing  the  mistake — and 
recognizing  it  before  it  is  too  late — is  fortunate. 

Knowing  how  to  solve  the  problem,  however,  and 
knowing  how  to  provide  the  means  for  solution,  is  more 
difficult. 

But  again  America  is  fortunate.  There  is,  among  us,  a 
group  who  not  only  have  been  ahead  of  the  general 
public  in  recognizing  the  problem  but  who  also  have  the 
understanding  and  the  power,  now,  to  solve  it.  That  group 
is  the  college  alumni  and  alumnae. 

Years  ago  Dr.  Hu  Shih,  the  scholar  who  was  then 
Chinese  ambassador  to  the  United  States,  said  America's 
greatest  contribution  to  education  was  its  revolutionary 
concept  of  the  alumnus:  its  concept  of  the  former  student 
as  an  understanding,  responsible  partner  and  champion. 
Today,  this  partner  and  champion  of  American  higher 
education  has  an  opportunity  for  service  unparalleled  in 
our  history.  He  recognizes,  better  than  anyone,  the  es- 
sential truth  in  the  statement  to  which  millions,  finally, 
now  subscribe:  that  upon  higher  education  depends,  in 
large  part,  our  society's  physical  and  intellectual  sur- 
vival. He  recognizes,  better  than  anyone  else,  the  truth 
in  the  statement  that  the  race  can  attain  even  loftier  goals 
ahead,  by  strengthening  our  system  of  higher  education 
in  all  its  parts.  As  an  alumnus — first  by  understanding, 
and  then  by  exercising  his  leadership — he  holds  within 
his  own  grasp  the  means  of  doing  so. 

Rarely  has  one  group  in  our  society — indeed,  every 
member  of  the  group — had  the  opportunity  and  the 
ability  for  such  high  service. 


^iDUCATlON  of  high  quality  for  as 
many  as  are  qualified  for  it  has  been  a 
cherished  American  dream.  Today 
we  are  too  close  to  realizing  that  dream 
not  to  intensify  our  striving  for  it.

NEWS     FROM 

EMERITUS   CLUB 

MISS  MART  COTTON 
Eldred.  Pa. 

The  Emeritus  Club  will  hold  its  annual 
reunion  on  the  Bucknell  campus  June  6-9. 
Dormitory  rooms  will  be  available  for  sleep- 
ing accommodations.  From  the  program,  as 
outlined  on  page  3,  \'0u  will  note  that  an 
interesting  week  end  is  planned.  Plan  now 
to  attend  and  renew  your  youth. 

Mrs.  Edward  Flint  (Mary  Chambers 
'98)  passed  away  January  17  in  Alemorial 
Hospital.  West  Chester,  where  she  had 
been  confined  for  three  days.  Mrs.  Flint 
was  a  teacher  and  principal  at  the  Dar- 
lington Seminary  in  West  Chester  in 
years  past.  Sympathy  is  extended  to  the 
family. 

Three  veteran  Baptist  pastors  were 
cited  for  their  years  of  humble,  devoted 
service  by  the  Philadelphia  Baptist  Asso- 
ciation on  December  10,  1957.  The  three 
who  received  framed  scrolls  were:  Aliss 
Flora  M.  Clymer  r93.  missionary  founder 
and  pastor  lor  5o  vears  of  the  Greenwich 
Lisht  Church:  The  Rev.  Dr.  Howard  K.

GOLDEN  ANNIVERSARY 


This  is  the  last  call  for  1908  alumni  to 
sign  up  for  our  big  reunion  in  June.  You 
can't  afford  to  miss  our  50th. 

Charles  Xicely,  your  president,  and  I 
spent  an  afternoon,  March  24,  with  Carl 
Sprout  in  his  Harrisburg  home.  We  heard 
the  up-to-the-minute  news  on  questionnaire 
■replies — 44  out  of  70  and  others  sure  to 
come.  Carl  has  an  able  assistant  in  Olive 
Richards  lenders.  We  can  expect  a  book- 
let  that   w   will  all   treasure. 

Let's  make  this  a  reunion  to  top  all  others. 
Plan  now  to  come  on  Friday,  June  6,  for  an 
evening  of  goo'l  fellowship  before  the  big 
day  begins. 

Mrs.  Ida  Hosteller,  wife  of  Dr.  John  C.

Mifflinburg,  Pa. 


Earl  Jackson's  1957  Christmas  letter 
to  parishioners  and  other  friends,  besides 
other  news,  told  of  a  grand  summer: 
enjoyed  Longwood  and  Dell  concerts: 
had  eight  grand  days  at  Chautauqua  as- 
sembly ;  toured  choice  upper  New  York's 
region  of  peaks  and  lakes:  explored  his- 
toric trails  in  parts  of  New  England. 
"Jack"  is  happy  in  Prospect  Park. 

Delinda  Potter  continues  to  report 
new-s  of  her  area  to  newspapers  in  State 
College  and  Bellefonte.  Interested  in 
D.  .A..  R.  activities,  and  being  a  member 
of  a  garden  and  flower  club  she  doesn't 
find  spare  time  too  abundant.  In  June, 
one  day  at  least  she  hopes!  Stop  in  Mif- 
flinburg whenever  you  pass  this  way, 
Delinda. 

Just  in  time  for  this  issue  came  a  letter 
from  Boyd  Walter,  Mason  City,  Iowa. 
Too  modest,  though,  he  said  little  about 
himself,  and  I'm  sure  there  could  be  an 
elaborate  story,  but  he  did  include:  "After 
some  chemistrjr  at  Harvard  and  a  stint 
in  the  Arm5%  my  work  has  been  as  a 
chemist  and  my  relaxation  in  outdoor 
sports."  Referring  to  my  note  to  him  in 
which  I  had  mentioned  classmates  recent- 
ly heard  from,  says  Boyd:  "The  beauty 
and  charm  of  Joletta  Arthur,  the  poise 
of  Carlton  Hooker,  and  the  silver  tongue 
of  George  Middleton  are  memories  that  I 
cherish  along  with  those  of  all  my  water- 
melon picking  pals  of  those  times.  Do 
they  still  raise  those  good  melons  in  the 
valley?"  To  the  query  the  answer  is  in 
capitals  YES.  And,  Boyd,  reporter 
Charlie  would  like  to  write  that  longer 
story. 

Dated  Januar3f  12,  a  post  card  with  a 
Daytona  Beach,  Fla.,  scene  from  Helen 
Bartol  Leonard,  said:  "We  send  our 
greetings  from  not  too  sunny  Florida. 
Winifred  Naylor,  of  our  class,  has  been 
at  same  hotel."  It's  good  to  see  your 
signature  again,  Nell.  Hope  you  and 
husband  and  Winifred  profit  by  and  en- 
joy the  palms  and  pelicans  and  southern 
breezes. 

A  card  from  Berkeley  Hastings,  with  a 
scene  from  Santiago,  Chile,  dated  Marcli 
5,  gave  the  following  message:  "Frances 
and  I  enjoying  a  two-months  cruise 
around  South  America  on  the  Gripsholni, 
the  new  Swedish-American  ship.  Every 
place  we  visit  most  fascinating,  warm,  and 
every  day  full  of  sunshine.  Looking  for- 
ward to  our  4Sth  in  June." 

The  first  four  paragraphs  of  this  col- 
umn, submitted  for  the  March  issue,  are 
somewhat  outdated  now,  but,  we  hope, 
sufficiently  alive  to  be  worth  reading.  No 
longer  Uinking  hark,  lot's  look  ahead  to 
June.  Willi  will  (xliiifl  welcoming  hands? 
Well,  Howard  (Sal)  Fisher,  our  prexy, 
of  course,  and  Marwood  (ictinion  chair- 
man) Glover  will  he  first  in  line,  but  every 
classmate  will  be  happier  to  see  every 
other  than  one  can  possibly  know.  May 
good  health  abound!

Dear  Members  of  the  Class  of  1918: 
Have  you  filled  out,  and  returned  your 
questionnaire  for  the  Reunion  Book? 
Many  of  j'ou  will  have  to  say  "NO," 
when  it  should  be  a  loud  "YES."  Re- 
turns have  been  very  slow  in  coming  to 
me  and  the  book  will  be  a  booklet  if  some 
more  of  you  do  not  get  out  your  old  class 
spirit  and  send  back  the  blank — filled  out, 
of  course.  Bart  Mackey,  Herb  Grice  and 
Mai  Musser  are  working  like  beavers  and 
they,  like  all  committees,  need  help — so 
please,  classmates,  get  busy. 

Between    running    a    State    Conference 

for  AAUW  in  Williamsport  the  first 
week  end  in  May,  being  elected  the  local 
branch  president,  and  trying  to  do  some- 
thing about  our  40th  Reunion,  I  have 
been  a  busy  person.  I  think  I  will  find  a 
hole  and  crawl  into  it  when  summer  ar- 
rives. 

You  will  be  getting  another  Reunion 
letter — if  you  have  not  received  it  by  the 
time  you  read  this,  so  please,  please  help 
make  this  the  reunion  of  reunions. 

A  short  letter  this  time,  I  am  saving  all 
of  the  news  for  the  reunion  book.  So, 
classmates,  get  that  letter  off  to  me.

Paris  in  April?  I  wouldn't  know.  But 
Bucknell  in  June?  Ah,  mais  oui,  it's 
wonderful!  Maybe  you  think  you  re- 
member how  it  is,  but  unless  you've  visit- 
ed the  "300  Friendly  Acres"  in  the  past 
year  or  two,  you  just  can't  know.  A  good 
enough  reason  for  coming — to  find  all 
over  again  that  it  is  the  same  friendly 
place.  That,  plus  a  great  deal  more, 
which  can  make  us  increasingly  proud  to 
be  numbered  among  its  Alumni. 

A  letter  from  Dora  Keough  Lofberg, 
about  to  depart  for  Florida  for  several 
months,  says  she  hopes  to  be  on  the 
campus  for  the  reunion.  She  gave  news 
of  herself  and  family  to  the  effect  that 
they  have  purchased  a  home  in  DelRay 
Beach  where  her  address  is:  Maurice 
Drive,  Kingsland,  Box  882.  Her  New 
Jersey  address  is  599  S.  Forest  Drive, 
West  Englewood.  Her  son  f^ichard,  a 
Cornell  graduate,  married  Phyllis  Ellen 
Denning  '52  last  summer  after  which  they 
took  a  lioneymoon  trip  to  South  America. 
Another  son  Paul  is  a  freshman  at  Lafay- 
ette. 

Martha  Shafer  Brooks'  son  Bruce  will 
enter  Clark  next  year  to  major  in  physics. 

Vivian  Livingston  Ferguson  is  librarian 
at  Maii;is(|iiaii  lligli  .School,  Maiias(|uan,

It  is  difficult  to  keep  up  with  the  Rick- 
ard  family  but  according  to  our  last  re- 
port, liiic  is  where  they  are:  Samuel  H. 
Kickard,  Jr.  and  wife  (Ada  P.  Thomas

While  making  contacts  with  class  mem- 
bers, Isabelle  Clouser,  who  is  hard  at 
work  editing  the  class  book,  has  found

book. 

Joseph  T.  Quick  heads  a  group  whose 
job  it  will  be  to  make  the  round-up  of  the 
class.  You  can  be  of  help  by  offering 
your   assistance   to   your  area  contact   in- 


dividual in  making  a  call  to  someone  close

Dear  Classmate:  We're  rapidly  ap- 
proaching the  long  awaited  time  of  re- 
union with  its  promise  of  happy  memories 
to  be  relived  and  retalked.  You'll  be 
pleasantly  surprised  at  the  changes  which 
have  come  about  on  the  beautiful  Buck- 
nell campus  since  the  last  reunion  time. 

The  various  reunion  committees  have 
been  working  hard  and  rapidly  to  promote 
and  organize  the  best  reunion  we've  ever 
had.  You  can  well  reward  these  commit- 
tees by  setting  definite  plans  now  to  at- 
tend and  participate  in  all  the  wonderful 
events  which  have  been  planned  by  Buck- 
nell and  our  own  working  committees  for 
this  15th  reunion  year.  At  our  10th  re- 
union we  had  33  members  in  attendance — 
for  this  our  ISth,  let's  try  for  a  much 
higher  goal:  why  not  set  our  sights  on  an 
attendance  of  200,  We  have  a  total  of 
392  members  in  our  class  so  we  certainly 
should  be  able  to  achieve  this  goal. 

You  have  already  received  a  letter  out- 
lining the  plans  for  the  week  end  festivi- 
ties. However,  we'll  detail  a  few  of  these 
plans  so  that  you  may  know  a  little  more 
about  what  you  will  experience  the  week 
end  of  June  7.  The  usual  plans  for  our 
class  meeting  and  the  enjoyable  Alumni 
Luncheon  will  be  carried  out.  For  this 
15th  reunion,  we  have  planned  an  ofif- 
campus  social  gathering  which  will  be 
followed  by  a  dinner  for  those  who  wish 
to  dine  with  their  classmates  of  '43.  This 
social  and  dinner  will  be  held  at  the  Mil- 
ton Country  Club  which  is  located  in  a 
very  picturesque  spot  and  is  particularly 
inviting  in  the  summertime.  The  Social 
Committee  is  working  on  plans  for  an 
informal  dinner  program  which  will  give 
an  added  touch  to  the  occasion  and,  it  is 
hoped,  will  make  your  week  end  one  to 
remember.  Our  Saturday  dinner  will  be 
followed  by  the  Cap  and  Dagger  produc- 
tion, "Thieves'  Carnival"  and  the  Annual 
Alumni  Jamboree  in  Davis  Gym.  A 
Reunion  Booklet  will  be  available  as  a 
remembrance  of  the  week  end  spent  at 
Bucknell  in    1958. 

All  in  all,  the  program  sounds  inviting 
and  looks  interesting.  Don't  forget — 
make  a  decision  now,  if  you  haven't  al- 
ready done  so,  to  attend  this  bang  up 
reunion.  A  reunion  reservation  form  is 
in  this  issue;  send  it  in  today.  We'll  see 
you  June  7 — be  prepared  for  a  good  time 
— you'll  have  it. 

Sincerely,

planning  on  coming  to  our  15th  in  1963.
