More people are smok~ing CAMELS today than ever before in history!

Yes, experience during the shortage taught millionsthe differences in cigarette quality!

DrVING Champion Mildred O'Don­nell hasn't forgotten the war

shortage of cigarettes. "I never real­ized there were such differences incigarettes until the shortage," she re­calls. "That's when I really learnedwhat cigarette suits me best - Camel."

Millions of others had the same ex­perience, with the result that todaymore Camels are being smoked thanever be/ore in history. But, no matterhow great the aemand:

We don't tamper with Camelquality. Only choice tobaccos,properly aged, and blended inthe time - honored Camel lvay,

are used in Camels.

According to a recent Nationwide survey:

MORE DOCTORS SMOKE CAMELSthan any other cigarette

Three nationally known independent research organizations asked, 113,597 doctors-in every branch of medicine-to name the ciga­

rette the~ smoked. More d,?ctors named Camel than any other brand.

Hundreds of Alumni Gather for Reunion,

97th Commencement of University

FROM QUEBEC to Texas, from Vermont toNevada, hundreds of loyal sons of Rochester con­

verged on the campus on Friday and Saturday, June 13and 14, for the first post-war alumni reunion and theUniversity's 97th annual commencement.

There were way-stops at many points in and aboutthe city Saturday noon as reunion classes gathered forluncheons at such diverse rendezvous as the CountryClub of Rochester, Point Pleasant Hotel, Lake ShoreCountry Club and Powder Mill Park.

Climax of the two-day alumni program was the"Alumnite" dinner and meeting in the Alumni Gym­nasium on Saturday evening, high-lighted by the awardof the Cubley Cup to the Class of 1897, which drewnineteen of its twenty-eight living members for its firstorganized gathering in twenty-five years; the electionof John W. Remington, '17, as president of the Associ­ated Alumni, and the presentation of alumni awards toMatt Lawless, ' 12, retiring president, and to Prof.Charles W. Watkeys, '0 I, for their distinguished con­tributions to both the graduate and undergraduate lifeof the University.

Seldom have the college songs been sung with suchgusto as they were at the alumni dinner, with Norman"Pop" airn, ex-'P9, composer of the "Campus Song"and other well-loved tunes, at the electric organ im­ported for the occasion, and Kenneth Mook, EastmanSchool graduate, as song leader. The entire occasionwas marked with a spirit and enthusiasm that betokengrowing interest and participation in the expandedAssociated Alumni programs ahead.

The alumni Commencement weekend began with thetraditional fraternity reunions on Friday evening, fol­lowed by a dance in the Alumni Gymnasium thatbrought out some three hundred couples and set a holi­day mood that carried through the following days.

Another feature of the annual dinner was John Rem­ington's report on the successful year of fund raising forthe Alumni War l\1emorial Scholarship. The fund has

reached an all-time high of $17,41 I from 1,417 con­tributors, with further gifts expected. Final results anddetails will be published soon in the annual AlumniFund report.

For '22'S twenty-fifth milestone, special features in­cluded an anniversary booklet written and edited byPaul Lyddon, who also had decorated the wall back ofthe speakers' table with some fine enlarged photographsof historic buildings on the Old Campus. Somehow orother, the TIMES-U NIO that day showed up in one edi­tion carrying banner headlines in 144-point type whichscreamed "Famous UR Class of 1922 Back on Campusfor'Day." The fact that Joseph T. Adams, '22, is manag­ing editor of the T -U may have had something to dowith this startling journalistic phenomenon. Prof.George C. Curtiss and Dr. Arthu" S. Gale were guestsof honor, and John Sullivan was toastmaster.

From the Class of '22 also came the most enlighteningvital statistics. It reported that ninety-eight per cent ofits members are married and have sired sixty-eight chil­dren, an average of two per family. Herb Jackson wonthe title of super-father, with five offspring, and also ofbeing the father of the youngest child, aged one year.Don Mason is father of the oldest child, twenty-two.

The average weight of the class in 1<722 was one hun­dred and forty-three pounds, and in 1947, one hundredand sixty-five pounds. The heftiest member, CharlieRumrill, far exceeds the average at two hundred and tenpounds, while the lig.htest is Immanuel Arndt, one hun­dred and ten pounds.

On the "condition of the pate," sixty-five per centstill boast hair, and the remainder listed themselves as"hairless." A somewhat wistful and unrealistic note wasdetected in the report on physical condition, in whicheighty-four per cent bragged that they are "generallyrobust, virile, optimistic, bullish, waggish, ready, will­ing and able." The rest admitted being in various stagesof senility, extending to suspended animation.

Class of 1897 Wins Cubley Cup at 50th Reunion

No REUNION group at the University's 97thcommencement had a better representation, or

more fun and enthusiasm, than the Class of 1897, whosemembers came from many parts of the country fortheir fiftieth anniversary celebration.

Of twenty-seven known living members, nineteenreturned to the campus for the alumni festivities, enoughto win, most fittingly, the Cubley Cup, given annuallyby their classmate, Frank L. Cubley, of Potsdam, N. Y.,a leading attorney and outstanding citizen of the NorthCountry, to the class with the largest percentage ofmembers at the alumni commencement reunion. Theyoungest member of the class present was Albert E.Gubelmann, of Brooklyn, retired educator and formermember of the Yale faculty, who will be 71 in Septem­ber. The oldest was Arthur R. Anderson, 81, Rochesterattorney who is still engaged in active practice.

It was '97's first reunion in twenty-five years, and theymade .the most of the occasion. At luncheon on Satur­day, June 16, they were guests of their colleague, Clar­ence P. Moser, Rochester attorney, at the Country Clubof Rochester. He had been busy since last Februaryassembling his classmates.

In professions and interests, the class representsmany fields of endeavor, including doctor, lawyer, andeven, by honorary title, Indian chief, the latter in theperson of the Rev. William A. Petzold, who was unableto attend because, he wrote, he was "surrounded byredskins." He lives in Lodge Grass, Montana, on theCrow Indian reservation. For 38 years he has been super-

intendent of Indian missions in Montana, and has studiedand visited Indian tribes in Canada, the United Statesand Mexico, and taken part in many Indian councils.In 1929 he was given an honorary D.O. degree by Lin­field College, Oregon. Three others who had plannedto attend but were prevented by illness in their familieswere the Rev. Willis E. Pettibone, of Tacoma, Wash­ington, the Rev. George J. Searles, well-known SanFrancisco clergyman, and Henry A. Smith, supervisorof the Louisville, Kentucky, office of the EquitableLife Insurance Company. Present at the reunion werethe following:

their. successful efforts to send outstanding students tothe University. The Chicago group under the leadershipof Bob Exter has set the pace, but it is no longer run­ning alone. New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Bos­ton, Buffalo, and Ithaca have been active, and have keptPresident Valentine, Dexter Perkins, and others on thefaculty busy as the principal speakers at their variousmeetings during the year. In fact, tonight marks t,hethird time out of four dinner meetings locally thatPresident Valentine has been our guest speaker.

The Alumni-Alumnae Review deserves some commentat this time-just enough to say that steps are underwayto make it an even better medium for keeping alumniinformed about their university and alumni affairs. Theco-editors, Charles Cole and Warren Phillips, are doingthe best job possible with the facilities at their disposal.No changes in editorial policy are contemplated, but anincrease in the appropriation in next year's budget willpermit a better printing job and a more timely presenta­tion of all the news that's fit to print. If, however, thereseems to be a dearth of class notes about alumni, it isbecause only a few of you ever tell us about yourselves.Therefore, in this connection, we invite you to drop usa short note whenever you become engaged, married,have an increase in the family, or are promoted, de­moted, etc.

During the past year all alumni, whether or not theyhad contributed to the Alumni Fund, received eachissue of the Review. Next year, except for the first issuein October and last issue in July 1948, only the contri­butors to the current Alumni Fund will receive copies.Make sure that you are on the mailing list.

So much for past performance, except to mention that

the mechanics of making the post-war program reachevery alumnus have been handicapped'because the of-

. fice staff has been swamped by a backlog of addresschanges and because I am new on the job. We shall tryto be more efficient next year, and your criticisms forimproving alumni relations are invited.

During the past year alumni of this university haveadapted themselves to a new role. Within the lasttwenty-four months the University has changed from abuyer's to a seller's market. For decades, one importantfunction of the alumni was to seek out prospectivestudents. Today the problem is to find a place for theirown sons and daughters, to say nothing of their friends;

The fact that Rochester alumni appreciate this prob­lem is reflected in their attitude, and willingness to shiftto a new role. Now the major function of alumni shouldbe to bend every effort to increase their financial assist­ance to the University because the need is greater tharever before. That many of you have accepted this ne,,",role is evidenced by the healthy growth of the AlumniFund during the past year.

In conclusion, I wish to say that it has been a pleasureto serve with your elected officers. President MattLawless yields the gavel tonight after a year of devotedservice, and many of the worthwhile traditions thathave been revived are due to l\1att's love for this Univer­sity and what it stands for. Some one has termed l\1att asthe "All-American Alumnus." He is all of that andmore, too.

The Class of 1947 joins us for the first time tonight.Its influence will strengthen our program for thecommg year.

Alumnae Swimming Pool Fund Passes $20,000

D URING THE past year the drive for funds forthe proposed swimming pool has been directed

toward more group sponsored projects, rather thansolicited gifts from individual alumnae or special giftsfrom friends of the Univ~rsity. The final results forthis year show that the fund has been increased by some$4,000, making a total of $20,012.

One of the most successful projects was the rummagesale held on April9-IO by Classes of 1930-1939, whichboosted the fund by $530' Their plea, "Remember thisis because we, as alumnae, -are interested in a construc­tive contribution to our Alma Mater," stimulated thealumnae support of the project.

J E-JULY, 1947

General chairmen of the sale were: Ruth SeebachParker, '36, and Gertrude Morley Lines, '37. They wereassisted by the following class chairmen: Dorothea S.Bootey, '30; Geraldine J. Mermagan, '31; Pauline K.Kline, '32; Harriet Rippey, '34; Evelyn H. White, '35;Edith Lyon, '36; Eugenia Scheid, '37; Louise S. Baxter,'38, and Anne S. Hammond, '39.

The Chicago Alumnae Association sponsored a saleof greeting cards, proceeds from which were contrib­uted to the Swimming Pool Fund, adding $22.

The continuation of regional as well as local interestand support, will be of the greatest value in successfullycompleting the campaign for $140,000.

This affair, which replaced the luncheon formerlyheld during Commencement weekend, served to wel­come these newest alumnae into the Association mem­bership. Identification tags in the shape of mortar­boards and scrolls facilitated introductions of the morethan 200 attending.

Ih the Little Theatre, new alumnae were greeted bythe alumnae president, Eleanor Collier Crary, '37, afterwhich Patricia Fallon, '45, and Evelyn Meyers Currie,'45, presented a skit entitled "Susie Sadsac." Popular

radio themes and advertisements were paraphrased tothe UR alumnae. Later, coffee and refreshments wereserved in the Fountain Court.

"The committee was headed by Anne Johnston Skiv­ington, '40, who was assisted by Ann SchumacherHammond, '39, hostesses; Pauline Parce Parks, '40,guests; Bernice Whitham Brugler, '25, refreshments;Ethel M. Dunn, '27, tickets; Louise Sweetnam Baxter,'38, invitations; and Margaret Johnston Birrell, '36,decorations. Others serving on the committee wereJean Masters Cole, '25, Mildred Scribner, '25, Marion1Vlaggs Vicinus, '27, and Ruth Gliddon Ostendorf, '18.

This reception was another forward step in unitingthe various colleges of the University, and it is hopedthat it will continue to hold a favored spot on the Alum­nae social calendar.

Three Hundred Attend Alumnae Commencement Dinner

THE ALUMNAE Commencement Dinner this yearproved a delightful climax to an active year for the

women of the University.More than 300 alumnae and guests attended the dinner

in Cutler Union. Highlight of the evening was the ad­dress given by Dr. Kathrine Koller, popular head of theEnglish Department. Guest of honor was Dr. BarbaraMcClintock, who re.::eived an honorary doctor ofscience degree at Commencement. Other guests in­cluded Lester Bowles Pearson, Commencement speaker,and Dr. Douglas Stuart Moore, recipient of the degree,doctor of music, at the exercises.

Eleanor Collier Crary, '39, retiring president of theAssociation, presided at the dinner. The invocation wasasked by Mrs. Harper Sibley, an honorary alumna.Other speakers included Dean Janet H. Clark, whointroduced Dr. McClintock, outstanding cytogeneticistand winner of the AAUW award of $2,500, given inrecognition of distinguished scholarship.

Dr. Koller's talk on "The Disciplined Life, Then andN·ow" dealt with the timely problem of the modemwoman's pursuit of happiness. Her thesis was that mod­ern women do not exert enough self- discipline, andshe cited examples of seventeenth century women whoachieved happiness, she said, while enduring many morehardships thart women of today. She quote~ excerptsfrom their diaries which, she said, show~d that theypossessed self-discipline, "the first step toward the tran­quil spirit so necessary to the truly happy individual."

President Valentine gave a brief talk on the state ofthe University, stressing the many new developments

JUNE-JULY, 1947

in recent years, and asked for the moral support ofalumnae in the University1s continuing search for ad­ditional financial support.

Chairman of the dinner committee was Elinor SnyderKappelman, '35. She was assisted by Jean Masters Cole,'25; Lura Schank Hanley, '25; Ethel M. Dunn, '27;Margaret Doerffel Waasdorp, ,37, and Marie LeMayWoodams, ' 24.

A printed annual report of the Alumnae Association'sactivities during the past year was presented to eachdinner guest.

Evidence of the outstanding job· done by the newAlumnae Fund class agents can be seen by the record­breaking contributions which have been received todate, as a result of their wholehearted efforts. On Ju e24, contributions totaling $5,3 I I had been receivedfrom 1,227 alumnae, according to Betty Anne Hale, '40,fund chairman. This amount is $7 I 7 ahead of the finaltotal for the 1946 campaign and represepts gifts from168 more active supporters-the main objective of thedrive.

In his remarks, President Valentine congratulated theAlumnae Fund Committee and the class agents for theirsplendid efforts. Ann Schumacher Hammond, '39, c~air­man of the class agents, reports that, in addition to theboost the agents have given the fund itself, they havebeen responsible for gathering much interesting newsabout former classmates who had not been heard fromfor years. They have also been a tremendous aid to thealumnae office in securing accurate up-to-date informa­tion for the files.

Five Alumnae Scholarships Awarded

T HE RHEES Prize Scholarship, coveted awardgiven by the Alumnae Association in honor of

Rush Rhees and Harriet Seelye Rhees, was won this yearby l\1iss Margaret Wilson, of Lake Placid, N. Y.

Selected from many applicants recommended byalumnae in widely scattered areas, Miss Wilson possessesthe qualities of intellectual attainment, strength of char­acter, personality and leadership, which are the quali­fications for this award. A top ranking scholar, she hasalso held important offices in her high school; she hasbeen president of the National Honor Society, presidentof the Junior Class, co-editor of her school paper, andsecretary of the school orchestra.

The Rhees Prize Scholarship, which carries an annualstipend of $500, was first awarded in 1935 to ClemenceStephens Curry, '39, of Oak Park, Ill.

The Dean's Fund, project of the reunion classes, ispresented each year to the dean as her discretionaryfund to draw upon for undergraduate emergency needs.This fund was started in 1934 when Marion RichardsonBleyler, '29, and her five-year reunion class representa­tives met to formulate plans for their reunions. At thattime there was a great need for funds to help studentsmeet financial emergencies which were a serious hazardto the completion of their education. The money cameeither from the Dean's purse or from that of some kind­hearted benefactress who came into action on the spurof the mom~nt. Helpful as this was, it was completelyinadequate.

These classes decided that, rather than the traditionalfive-year reunion gifts of each class to their college,they would unite their efforts to establish a gift fundthat the Dean could use for the many emergencies thatarose. It was their hope that future reunion classes mightwish to perpetuate their plan.

This year's reunion classes raised nearly $570 for thefund. Dean Clark expressed her appreciation for thisgenerous gift, and told of the various ways in whichthis fund has been used. During the past year, twelveundergraduates have received substa'ntial financial aidfrom this source.

of Violet Jackling Bartlett, '23, has held the Rhees PrizeScholarship for the past four years, graduating thisJune with high honors.

Eastman House Established as Photographic Institute

EASTMAN HOUSE, which for the last fourteenyears has been the home of University of Rochester

presidents, and known far and wide as the most magnifi­cent residence of that nature to be found anywhere, is tobecome a photography institute and museum, the firstof its kind in the world.

As such, the splendid building and grounds will be-'come familiar not only to tens of thousands of visitorsfrom Rochester and Western New York, but from allparts of the country and abroad,

The project, made possible by the joint action ofthe University, Eastman Kodak Company, and theNew York State Board of 'Regents, was universallyhailed as a singularly fitting use of the property, whichthus will be a living ·memorial to George Eastman, thechief creator of modern photography. It will be knownas George Eastman House, Inc.

The University is contributing to the undertakingthe house and grounds, which Mr. Eastman bequeathedto it at the time of his death in March, 1932. EastmanKodak Company will pay for the cost of structuralchanges necessa{y to convert the structure into a work­ing institute, and exhibits estimated at $300,000, and alsothe annual operating costs, estimated at $100,000. TheBoard of Regents has granted a charter to permit estab­lishing the enterprise as an educational institute to serveas an instruction and demonstration center coveringphotography from its beginnings to the present.

A special committee of the University's Board ofTrustees is considering arrangements regarding a newresidence for President Valentine and his family. Thenew institute is expected to be in operation within twoyears, giving the University ample time to find newquarters for the Valentines.

From the University's viewpoint, the plan affords itstill another opportunity to serve the community byhelping to make available not only to Rochester but tothe millions of persons interested in photography all overthe world an international center for the display anddemonstration of the art and science of photographyin all its branches. From the practical angle, it enablesthe University to divert into its general education pro­grams funds which hitherto have gone into maintainingthe expensive establishment.

In his will, lVir. Eastman set up a $2,000,000 endow­ment fund for upkeep of the house as a residence forthe University's presidents, and specified that after tenyears the trustees could decide whether or not thehouse should be maintained for that purpose or devotedto other uses.

George Eastman House, Inc., will be operated as aneducational foundation under its own board of trustees

composed of members approved by the Regents. Th{board will be responsible for establishing and operatingthe institute as a working, teaching enterprise, "to in­struct in the progress of photography as the world'smost facile medium of communication and to show howphotography plays a manifold part in the progress ofnearly all human activities."

Members of the board are Raymond N. Ball, '14,president of the Lincoln Rochester Trust Company;Albert .K. Chapman, first vice-president and generalmanager of Kodak; James E. Gleason, president, theGleason Works; Charles F. Hutchinson, Kodak execu­tive; Dr. Albert D. Kaiser, '09; Thomas J. Hargrave,Kodak president, and President Valentine. The con­tirued dose, though unofficial, interest of the Universityin Eastman House is indicated by the fact that all of thetrustees except Mr. Chapman also are trustees of theUniversity.

Although the Valentines have enjoyed the experienceof living in the 37-room mansion, they are not sorry tobe moving out, the President acknowledged, and arelooking forward to living in a place "that will be morein keeping with the academic way of life." Such grandsurroundings, he said, have their drawbacks for ordin­ary living. The University is of course deeply apprecia­tive of Mr. Eastman's generosity in giving it his homeas a dwelling for its presidents, and also for his wisdomin leaving the trustees free to decide after a period ofyears whether it should be continued for that purpose.he said.

The Valentines' twelve-year-old daughter, Sally, tookfirm public exception to her father's assertion that thefamily is not reluctant to leave Eastman Ho~se. Shewrote a letter to the Times-Union asserting that she andher older sister, Laurie, have several regrets at havingto move out.

"I read in your paper that my father said we werenot sorry to leave Eastman House," she told the editor."My sister and I feel that this statement is not true.We wish to give two reasons why we do not want toleave.

"FirstJ my sister won't have the lovely pool in whichshe keeps her gold fish.

"Secondly, we won't have a piano.."These reasons, as I see them, are perfectly sound.

Although we have many other reasons, these are themost important."

The President, enormously tickled by his youngestchild's stout independence, has assured her that therewill be a piano in the new home. The goldfish presentanother problem, but doubtless an adequate, if lesselegant, haven will be found for them.
