Harry J. German, student, teacher, scholar 
and cheerful philosopher, celebrates his seventy- 
fifth birthday today. They “retired”, him in 1950 
as Dean of Columbia College, for statutory rea¬ 
sons of age, and made him Emeritus. But as 
one of his friends. District Attorney Frank S. 
Hogan, said on another “retirement” occasion, 
“No one can retire Carman.” 

Several years ago one of New York’s Mayors 
tried it by failing to reappoint him to the Board 
of Hi^er Education. The public protest was 
terrific. Now that Mayor himself has been 
“retired,” and Dr. Carman is back on the Board 
of Higher Education through the wisdom of 
Mayor Wagner. His long service on that board, 
going back to a La Guardia appointment in 1938, 
is just one of the many civic contributions made 
by Dean Carman over the years. 

We will save a full account of Carman u.seful- 
ness—to education, to the cause of liberal-minded 
civilization, to reasonableness in labor relations, 
to the writing of history, to equalizing oppor¬ 
tunity for the Negro, to a hundred other bene¬ 
ficial interests—until he is 100. 

This “man very close to the hearts of all 
Columbia men,” as a Morningside Heights senior 
once described him, is now busier than ever, still 
teaching, still making studies of education, still 
serving in numerous trusteeships, still a farmer 
on the side as season permits. 

Many times a doctor by honorary degree, hon-

Financial Aid: Whose Responsibility? 


The cost of a college education at 
Columbia, as elsewhere, has risen 
sharply in recent years—but has sure¬ 
ly not yet reached 
its peak. A bachelor’s 
degree from Colum¬ 
bia College or one 
of her sister insti¬ 
tutions in the Ivy 
Group now costs ap¬ 
proximately $10,000, 
and it seems safe to 
predict that the cost 
will go up to about 
$12,000 within the 
next five years. Thus Jefferson 

the present total yearly budget of 
$2,500 for resident students may well 
rise to $3,000 by 1964. Unquestionably, 
if we are to continue to offer a high 
quality of education to expanded stu¬ 
dent bodies, colleges must increase 
their charges and ask students and 
families to bear a larger proportion 
of the cost tihan they have in recent 


years. Our faculty members can no 
longer support students out of their 
own pocketbooks; some of our aid 
must be to the faculty members them¬ 
selves. 

The student and his family con¬ 
fronted by these increasing costs 
rightly ask how they can pay. This 
question deserves a prompt and honest 
answer; but our candid reply must 
be that we do not intend to raise 
our fees only to have to turn back in 
financial aid much of the hoped-for 
increase in revenue. The net to the 
University must increase; so we must 
ask the student to turn in one of 
several possible direction for assist¬ 
ance. 

His first recourse is the help in¬ 
creasingly available to him from the 
community. A good example is the 
strong student aid program offered by 
the State of . New York, which spon¬ 
sors a substantial and growing 
undergraduate scholarship program, 


fellowship aid for capable graduate 
students who intend to teach in New 
York State, and a brand new loan 
program for students at all levels of 
higher education. 

Students at all levels will soon have 
new-found assistance under the vari¬ 
ous provisions of the National De¬ 
fense Education Act of 1958. Title II 
of this Act deserves close attention, 
for it is a scholarship-loan program 
of great potential which enables 
students in participating colleges to 
borrow money on very generous terms. 
A unique feature of these loans is 
that a student going into elementary 
or secondary public school teaching 
after college may take advantage of 
a forgiveness clause; 10 per cent of 
his debt is forgiven for each year he 
spends in teaching, up to five years 
and 50 per cent of the amount bor¬ 
rowed. Since a student may borrow 
as much as $5,000, his scholarship 
award can be as high as $2,500.

Director of Admissions and 
Financial Aid, Columbia University 

In addition to public assistance, 
there are increasing numbers of in¬ 
dustrially and privately supported 
scholarships and fellowships, usually 
awarded by open competition. The 
National Merit Corporation, General 
Motors, Procter and Gamble, and 
many others are good examples of 
this type of help. Over the years our 
students have done extremely well in 
this type of competition. They do well 
after four years at the College too; 
Columbia College students won more 
Woodrow Wilson National Fellowships 
for the academic year 1958-59 than 
did students from any other under¬ 
graduate college in the United States. 
These fellowships are for prospective 
college teachers and represent an im¬ 
portant aid to education and to stu¬ 
dents. 

And in addition to the increasing

A Profile 


Harry J. Carman 


By HENRY F. GRAFF 
Associate Professor of History 



Harry Carman’s friends rejoice on his 
seventy-fifth birthday. They are not only on 
Morningside Heights; they are in every walk 
of life—on Seventh Avenue, on 
Park, on Madison, and on the 
farm. No one can presume to i 
speak for this legion of admirers. 

But I venture the guess that they : 
all share a feeling in common; ^ 
they cannot recall a time when 
they did not know Harry. This is 
not merely because Harry’s dis¬ 
tinguished career has also been 
a long one. It is because Harry 
has notably altered the lives of 
so many of them that individually 
they dare not conceive of a world 
without him. 

It would be easy to list some 
of the important public contribu¬ 
tions Harry has made, because 
they are a permanent part of the 
history of our College and Uni¬ 
versity, and of the wider com¬ 
munity outside. But these are not 
essentially the things that have 
endeared Harry to us. He has - 
enriched us by his boundless capa¬ 
city to give away to others, without thought 
of return, something of himself—his wis¬ 
dom, his energy, his time, and his money. 

There are so many examples of Harry’s 
great-heartedness. No one who has ever seen 
Harry vigorously trying to improve the aca¬ 
demic position of a young colleague will for¬ 
get the evidence of his selflessness. No one 
who has ever watched Harry greet an un¬ 
dergraduate can compare it in waimth or 
sincerity with any other greeting he has 
ever observed. The illustrations multiply, 
and each of us treasures his own collection 
of them. I know, for instance, of a Columbia 
College senior who went to Europe one sum¬ 
mer on a gift from Harry that the young 



man still believes was an award for achieve¬ 
ment bestowed on him by the University. 
In my personal experience I will always re- 

.. member with special pleasure the 

, astonishment and delight that a 
phone call from Harry brought 
me when I was first beginning 
; my graduate work. It was 9 
; o’clock in the evening and Harry, 
reading at home a book that con¬ 
tained a reference he thought 
could be useful to me, had decided 
to tell me all about it immediately. 
It is immaterial that I do not 
now remember either the book 
he referred me to or whether it 
proved to be useful as he hoped, 
What mattered greatly was that 
a senior professor—already far 
busier than some entire depart¬ 
ments on the campus here 
should have troubled himself in 
so intimate a way to encourage 
a neophyte in the profession. 

Those who have been touched 
by Harry directly need no descrip- 

Farm -uniqueness or of how it 

can freshen a flagging spirit. For 
Harry, the dregs of discouragement or de¬ 
feat never linger long. Tomorrow, he knows, 
will bring a new beginning and new oppor¬ 
tunities. At seventy-five he is a master war¬ 
rior in splendid trim for the good battles 
that lie ahead. For this reason and, even 
more important, for all the unspoken rea 
sons of the heart: Happy Birthday, Harry! 


An authority on diplomatic history, Dr. Graff is 
one of Professor Carman's several former stu¬ 
dents who have since joined him as a close friend 
and colleague. 


On The Cover 

On January 22, many of Dr. Carman’s 
Columbia and “extra-curricular” friends 
gathered at the Men’s Faculty Club to help 
celebrate his 75th birthday at a surprise party 
given in his honor by Columbia University 
President Grayson Kirk. Manny Warman’s

. - Director, University News Office ..- — 

A check of Columbia College dean’s office records on a one 
Joshua Lederberg, of the Class of ’44, reveals this sidelight: “Mr. 
Lederberg, because of his unusual scientific equipment, was al¬ 
lowed to take some of his undergraduate work in an unusual 
order. When the time came for him to complete his requirement 
in our Humanities course, it was felt foolish to require a fresh¬ 
man course of so superior an upper classman For this reason Mr. 
Lederberg was allowed to take our Senior Seminar in English, 
Philosophy and Comparative Literature. A case like that of Mr. 
Lederberg comes up very rarely and there is no danger of this 
becoming a difficult precedent.” Fourteen years later this same 
Joshua Lederberg overwhelmingly substantiated the views of the 
dean’s office. Last fall, at 33, he was was awarded the Nobel Prize 
in medicine. But before that, in the summer, Time Magazine 
singled out the Columbia graduate as “probably the world’s greatest 
young geneticist.” 

New York newspapers saluted Robert Moses on his 70th birth¬ 
day, pointing out that “Mr. Moses began his public career in 1913, 
the year he completed work for a Ph.D. in political science at 
Columbia.” 

Four years after the graduation of Mr. Moses, another future 
great received his doctoral degree on Morningside. This ’17 alum¬ 
nus was Will Durant. The philosopher and historian has just com¬ 
piled a list of the ten books he believes have had the most power¬ 
ful effect on human thought and history. He calls the list “the 
ten books that shock the world.” They are the Analects of Con¬ 
fucius, the Dialogues of Budda, the Bible, the Koran, John Cal¬ 
vin’s Principles of Christian Religion, Copernicus’ Revolution of 
the Celestial Orbs, Diderot’s Encyclopedie, Social Contract by 
Rousseau, the Origin of Species by Darwin, and Marx’s Das Kapi- 
tal. “In these books,” said Durant, “you have an outline of the 
mental history of mankind.” 

* * * 

The New York Times ended its interview story with Mrs. Nel¬ 
son A. Rockefeller, New York’s new first lady, with this para¬ 
graph: “‘And now,’ she finally said, with a firm note of dismissal, 
T must go in here to pose in the sunshine for this Columbia jour¬ 
nalism student whose flash bulb won’t work. I promised.’” 

* * * 

The following is the citation used by George W. Starcher, 
president of the University of North Dakota, in bestowing the 
honorary Doctor of Humanities degree upon Columbia President 
Grayson Kirk in Grand Forks, North Dakota: 

“As President of one of America’s greatest Universities, you 
exemplify the highest type of intellectual leadership which is so 
vital to our national welfare. Your warm personal charm and 
your inspiring message have made your visit to North Dakota a 
fitting climax for the observance of our 75th Anniversary. You 
have brought from a private institution in the East a freshness 
of outlook and a magnanimity of spirit that will serve well the 
cause of state support and all higher education in the Middle West. 
In recognition of your academic statesmanship, the University of 
North Dakota confers upon you the degree of Doctor of Hu¬ 
manities.”

Of the five Liberal Party Candidates in New York’s guber¬ 
natorial election, four were Columbia alumni: George DeLuca, lieu¬ 
tenant governor, ’21L; Arthur Levitt, comptroller, ’21C and ’24L; 
Edward Goodell, attorney general, ’25L; and Frank Hogan, U.S. 
Senator, 24C and ’28L. The fifth name on the ballot was Averell 
Ilarriman.

The Trustees of Columbia 
University record their deep 
sorrow at the death of a 
distinguished alumnus of 
Columbia College and the 
Columbia School of Law, 
and a former alumni trus¬ 
tee of the University. Gal¬ 
lant soldier, public servant

New Program 
For Engineers 
Admit^J^rosh 

The Columbia School of En¬ 
gineering has announced that 
a freshman class of approxi¬ 
mately sixty students will enter 
the school in September. It will 
be the first freshman engineer¬ 
ing class at Columbia since 1914. 

According to Wesley J. Hen- 
nessy, associate dean of the 
School of Engineering and chair¬ 
man of the University commit¬ 
tee planning the freshman pro¬ 
gram, the decision to admit first 
year engineering students was 
prompted by the School’s inten¬ 
tion to make fuller use of its 
facilities and to insure a steady 
flow of students into its gradu¬ 
ate school. 

Dean Hennessy emphasized, 
however, that the School’s long 
standing concentration on “qual¬ 
ity rather than quantity” will 
still prevail. The incoming fresh¬ 
men, Dean Hennessey stated 
will have to meet the most ex¬ 
acting admission requirements. 
All of them, he stated, will have 
to score at least 600 on the Col¬ 
lege Entrance Examination 
Board tests, will have had a 
background of at least three 
and one-half years of scien-ce 
in high school (including physics 
and chemistry), and will have 
been in the top 10% of their 
high school graduating class.

An alumni contingent in excess of 1200 arrived on the 
Morningside campus Saturday, February 7 for the 13th annual

Dean’s Day. 

Offered to alumni and their 
families as an “unique oppor¬ 
tunity to meet head on, once 
again, some of the vital men 
and ideas of American academic 
life” this year’s Deans Day pro¬ 
gram featured twenty distin¬ 
guished members of the Colum¬ 
bia faculty and administration. 

Van Doren Reads Poems 

In their old classrooms in 
Hamilton Hall, in Butler, and in 
the majestic rotunda of Low 
Memorial Library alumni listen¬ 
ed to the thoughts of men of 
philosophy, science, history, lit¬ 
erature, law, poetry, music, eco¬ 
nomics and theology with the 
extra delight of one removed 
from the rigors of note-taking, 
interrogation and final examina¬ 
tions. Mark Van Doren read 
from his own poetry, Pulitzer 
Prize-winning composer Douglas 
Moore discussed the origins of 
his opera “The Ballad of Baby 
Doe,” the Economics department 
conducted a panel discussion on 
American business. Father 
George B. Ford, who for many 
years was counselor to Catholic 
students at Columbia, returned 
to Morningside to discuss “the 
effect of religion in determining 
public policy,” young assistant 
professor of Economics Peter B. 
Kenen ’54 talked on “Trade, Aid, 
and Sputnik,” and faculty mem¬ 
bers from many departments 
talked of recent research, travels 
and ideas. 

At the concluding afternoon 
session, held in the rotunda of 
Low, Dean John G. Palfrey 
greeted the alumni and Profes¬ 
sor of Philosophy Charles Frankel 
’37 addressed the entire assem¬ 
blage on the intriging topic: 
“Professors and Their Lives of 
Temptation.”

Truman Visit Set; Former President 
Schedules Lectures on U.S. Presidency 

Historian Harry S. Truman will visit Morningside for 
three days this Spring to lecture on the American Presidency 
and to converse with Columbia students on the origins and 
development of the nation’s political traditions. Mr. Truman 
announced his visit, which is scheduled for late March or 
early April, after discussions last month in New York with 
Professors Lindsay Rogers and Richard Neustadt of Colum¬ 
bia’s Department of Public Law and Government. 

The former President, who in recent years has devoted 
much of his energies to academic pursuits, last visited the 
Morningside campus in 1957 when he held a surprise “news 
conference” with students of Columbia’s School of Journ¬ 
alism. 

In the past year, Queen Fredericka of Greece; 
Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishman, vice-president of India; 
the late Professor Ahmed Bokhari, former head of the 
Pakistan delegation to the United Nations; poet T. S. Eliot; 
U. S. Senator John Sherman Cooper of Kentucky; former 
U.S. Senator Herbert H. Lehman of New York and Admiral 
Hyman G. Rickover, pioneer of the nuclear-powered sub¬ 
marine, have also taken part in various University pro¬ 
grams. 

Wm. T, de Bary Awarded Watamull Prize 
For ^Sources of Indian Tradition’^ 

Dr. William Theodore de Bary ’41, associate professor 
»f Chinese and Japanese, and Director of the College’s 
Oriental Studies Program has been awarded the American 
Historical Association’s Watamull Prize for the book “Sources 


in Brief 


of Indian Tradition,” judged by the association as the best 
book on India published in 1958. 

“Sources of Indian Tradition” is the second in the “In¬ 
troduction to Oriental Civilizations” series published this 
year by the Columbia University Press under the general 
editorship of Dr. de Bary. The volume, of more than 900 
pages, was prepared with the collaboration of Orientalist 
colleagues at Columbia and elsewhere in Asia and the 
West and was designed to be read by “the ordinary under¬ 
graduate rather than by the special student of the 
Far East.” 

The Watamull Prize, which carries a stipend of $500 was 
presented to Dr. de Bary at the annual American Historical 
Association’s annual banquet held in Washington, D. C. last 
month. 

Pope Elevates Newman Club Chaplain 

Pope John XXIII has conferred the rank of Papal 
Chamberlain with the title of Very Reverend Monsignor 
upon Father James Edward Rea, counselor to Catholic 
students at Columbia since 1956. 

W’hile at Columbia, Monsignor Rea has guided the ac¬ 
tivities of the undergraduate, graduate, and Latin American 
Newman Clubs, and has also served as Chaplain of the 
Associated Newman Club Alumni of New York. He now holds 
the highest ecclesiastical rank among the Newman Club 
Chaplains in the Archidiocese of New York. 

A noted scholar. Monsignor Rea was one of the founders, 
and is the treasurer of the Catholic Theological Association. 
Before coming to Columbia, Monsignor Rea served as Pro¬ 
fessor of Dogmatic Theology at St. Joseph’s Seminary in 
Dunwoodie, New York.

HERBERT E. HAWKES: Dean 
of Columbia College, 1918-1943. 
By William Ernest Weld and 
Kathryn W. Sewny. Columbia 
University Press, New York, 
1958. $3.75. 

Perhaps it is stacking the 
deck for me to write this re¬ 
view, for I have read the 
“Hawkes book” three times in 
manuscript and typescript and 
have talked frequently with the 
authors over the years of its 
writing. But how could any 
friend and admirer of H. E. 
Hawkes resist the opportunity 
to stir his memories of that 
wonderful little man, to add a 
reminiscence or two of his own, 
to feel that rich and exciting 
quarter century of Columbia 
College history come alive 
again? 

Part of Columbia History 

That is what this story of 
a great dean will do for all 
who were fortunate enough to 
know him. This is a good book: 
Interesting and lively and well- 
organized, like its hero; and 
showing a shrewd insight into 
his nature and life purpose, 
just as the Dean, with his keen 
and sympathetic mind, was 
able to understand those whom 
he sought to help. It is also an 
important part of Columbia 
history. 

The authors are an excellent 
combination to do the kind of 
job that was called for. Dr. 
Weld, head of the College’s 
work in Economics during the 
’20s, was a life-long friend of 
Dean Hawkes, and Mrs. Sewny, 
of the staff of the Columbia 
University Press, knows and 
understands the College and 
the University well. 

The book begins, naturally, 
with the Dean’s childhood in 
Templeton, Mass. He must 
have been a lovely little boy. 
Curiously enough, despite the

and the grandfather’s spec¬ 
tacles which Columbia knew, it 
is easy to picture him as a 
little boy, perhaps because of 
the expression of impish glee 
which used to flash across his 
face when he thought that he 
had a joke on someone. 

Young Herbert’s early school¬ 
ing was fragmentary, but inner 
forces quickened his ambition, 
and the same kind of “helping 
hand” that he was later to 
give to thousands of young 
men enabled him to go to Will- 
iston Academy and then to 
Yale, where he learned the 
values, as well as the handi¬ 
caps, of being a self-supporting 
student. From then on, the 
road, though rocky, was 
straight: he graduated in 1896 
with distinction and with 
money in the bank, was elected 
to Phi Beta Kappa, and got 
married. Then came graduate 
study appointment as an in¬ 
structor in mathematics, a year 
at Gottingen, and back to Yale 
as an assistant professor. He 
was on his way to his heart’s 
desire, a career in mathemati¬ 
cal research. 

Human Equation Rules 

But God, Yale, and the domi¬ 
nant part of his own nature 
willed otherwise. In no time 
at all his innate affinity for 
the “human equation’’ as well 
as for the mathematical ones 
was perceived at New Haven, 
and he was up to his ears in 
administrative activity: stu¬ 
dent advising, studying teach¬ 
ing problems, running the de¬ 


partment. This was not his 
plan, so he effected his escape 
by accepting Columbia’s call to 
come to Morningside as a re¬ 
search professor. Wise as he 
was, how little he understood 
the laws of destiny. 

Acting Dean at First 

The Columbia part of the 
Hawkes story is a familiar but 
fascinating one. Research soon 
began to give way to more per¬ 
sonal forms of college service, 
and when Dean Keppel went 
to the War Department in 1917, 
it was virtually inevitable that 
Prof. Hawkes take on the 
responsibilities of Dean. He was 
only “acting” at the start, but, 
as it turned out, he led the 
College through two World 
Wars, the hectic 20’s, the 
agonizing human distresses of 
tlie 30’s, and through a period 
in which the curriculum and 
the procedures for student 
guidance and welfare had to 


Barry Ulanov’s “A History of Jazz in America” 
hailed by Saturday Review critic John Barkham 
as “probably the best serious book on jazz as a 
developing art yet written by an American” has 
won wide critical acclaim abroad. According to 
its original publisher Viking Press it is now 
being reprinted in Japanese, French, Spanish, 
Portugese, British and German editions. Dr. 
Ulanov, a 1939 graduate of Columbia College 
and a man of many interests, is an assistant pro¬ 
fessor of English at Barnard, a former editor 
Ulanov of Metronome magazine, author of the biogra¬ 
phies “Duke Ellington” and “The Incredible Crosby,” and a fre¬ 
quent contributor of articles on poetry, music, literature, paint¬ 
ing, philosophy and theology. He is currently at work on a new 
book “The American Imagination,’ which he describes as a cul¬ 
tural history of the United States.

formation or to propose follow¬ 
up contact for potentional 
candidates for Columbia Col¬ 
lege. 

First activity of the 1959 pro¬ 
gram will be a Columbia College 
Night to be held February 17th 
at the Community House in 
Rowayton, Connecticut. On this 
night juniors and seniors and 
their parents from high schools 
in Fairfield County will be given 
information about Columbia 
College and campus representa¬ 
tives will be available to answer 
questions. In addition, slide pic¬ 
tures, entertainment and re¬ 
freshments will be part of the 
evening. 

Plans are also underway for 
the annual Alumni Cocktail 
Party to be held in March. In¬ 
formation on this together with 
the club constitution, the nom¬ 
inating Committee’s selections 
for officers, and the 1959 pro¬ 
gram of events will be sent to 
all alumni in the area.

reporting . . . 

The Columbia Club of Long 
Island did it again—threw a big 
dance the night of a blizzard— 
and as usual had a capacity 


crowd. Very hardy race these 
Long Islanders! Over 250 mem¬ 
bers showed up in their parkas 
and snow shoes, and danced in 
the cosy warmth of the Riviera 
Yacht Club in Port Washington 
to the lilting strains of the 
Riviera Orchestra. 

Dean and Mrs. John G. Pal¬ 
frey, Dr. and Mrs. Levering 
Tyson, Mrs. Thomas W. Chrystie, 
Mr. and Mrs. Gerry Griffin and 
others from the campus blew in 
on a gale from Manhattan, while 
from Long Island came the prin¬ 
cipals, guidance people and ath¬ 
letic directors of many of the 
local high schools. Then came 
alumni and more alumni and 
more alumni, stamping the snow 
off their boots, finally sitting 
down to thaw out their mus¬ 
taches in the humid, tropic at¬ 
mosphere of a brandy snifter. 

Everybody shook Dean Pal¬ 
frey’s hand. Cliff MONT¬ 
GOMERY of Columbia Rose 
Bowl fame introduced next 
year’s football captain, an amply 
proportioned young man name 
of Brian DENNEHY. The Glee 
Club sang. It was Columbia’s 
night, and while the baby-sitters 
sat, Columbia’s exurbanites from 
Long Island had a ball. 

As for the future, the next 
meeting for the general mem¬ 
bership will be held in March or 
April for which announcements 
will be mailed. If your name is 
not on the mailing list and you

Financial Aid 


See Increase in Use of Loans 


(Continued from Page 2) 
amount of aid available from 
sources outside the University, 
it is reasonable to expect—in a 
burgeoning economy—that stu¬ 
dents and their families apply 
a larger portion of their larger 
income toward the increasing 
costs of higher education. The 
University would seem unwise 
to increase its funds for finan¬ 
cial aid out of general income, 
when this income is needed for 
faculty salaries and for other 
important educational require¬ 
ments. 

Must Increase Loan Funds 

But Columbia should and will 
expand its student aid in other 
ways. First, the University must 
increase its available loan funds. 
During the current academic 
year our students are borrowing 
from the University and other 
sources more than three quarters 
of a million dollars, and Uni¬ 
versity loan funds are dwindling 
fast. Because we have made our 
repayment terms to students 
more generous, their repayment 
of money is taking longer, and 
we must increase the corpus of 
the loan from all available 
sources so that it can support 
this healthy growth in student 
loan activity. Second, the Uni¬ 
versity should work hard at in- 


Classmanship 

While most professors and stu¬ 
dents have found “note-taking” 
during lectures to be an un¬ 
avoidable academic ritual, a Ck)l- 
lege physics major has develop¬ 
ed a new approach to this im¬ 
portant aspect of classmanship. 

In order to overcome digital 
wear and tear during class hours, 
Roger Field, a sophomore from 
Brooklyn has turned to photo¬ 
graphing blackboards, slides, 
and all other lecture materials 
rather than deplete the world’s 
much-needed graphite supply. 
Roger reports that his method 
has been highly successful— 
“my professors are flattered and 
the demand for extra prints 
from the guys in Hartley has 
covered all costs.” 


'creasing the number of its schol¬ 
arships and fellowships with the 
help of alumni and the many 
people and organizations who 
are interested in Columbia and 
its students. 

We must also measure the 
need of students at all levels 
more carefully than before, to 
the end that the aid dollar is 
most wisely spent. With the help 
of the College Scholarship Serv¬ 
ice, a specialized branch of the 
College Entrance Examination 
Board, we have moved rapidly 
toward more careful evaluation 
of the need of undergraduate 
students. It is time that some 
measure of need be worked out 
for graduate students—a much 
more complex task. It is not 
unusual. for an able graduate 
student to say that because he 
is striving for intellectual in¬ 
dependence and freedom, he. 
feels he should have comparable 
financial independence from the 
parental support which he has 
previously known. Here, how¬ 
ever, an interesting and usually 
unconscious shift occurs: the 
student is not really seeking in¬ 
dependence; he is merely trans¬ 
ferring his dependence from his 
parents to the University and, 
in a sense, to its faculty. Is it 
fair to expect the faculty to 
continue to subsidize him — in 
fact, to increase the subsidy at 
the graduate level—at personal 
sacrifice to the faculty member 
and his family? Would it not 
be more attractive to offer the 
young graduate student an op¬ 
portunity at the end of his 
training to become a member 
of a well-paid teaching faculty? 
He should then be prepared to 
repay any “self-investment” he 
had made to earn his advanced 
degree, and he could look for¬ 
ward to a career that is both 
intellectually and materially re¬ 
warding. 

Graduate Student Aid 

Dean Barzun, in his last re¬ 
port as dean of the Graduate 
Faculties, mentioned the need 
for a Graduate Entrance Exami¬ 
nation Board, comparable to the 
College Entrance Examination 
Board so well known to high 
school and college students 
across the country. I have a 
related suggestion: it is time,.we 
had a College Scholarship Serv¬ 


ice at the graduate level to study 
the complex and sensitive job 
of realistic financial assistance 
for graduate students and to 
bring order into an area which 
is in a jungle state compared 
to the orderly scene now before 
us in undergraduate financial 
aid. The underbrush at the 
graduate level is thick, but our 
need and the students’ interest 
is great, and the time devoted 
to this important task could pay 
great dividends to us all. 

100,000 Extra Earnings 
The value to society of the 
educated mind is obvious. This 
value has been measured fairly 
exactly by some of our foremost 
economists, who point out that 
a college-educated man can real- 
Jize at least $100,000 more in a 
working lifetime than a non¬ 
college man. Of course, as col¬ 
lege education becomes more 
common, this dramatic advan¬ 
tage will not be as great. But 
a good education, from the 
first year of undergraduate work 
through to the Ph.D, a hard-to- 
determine period of seven to 
nine years or even more in some 
circumstances, might in the not 
too distant future cost from $20,- 
000 to $30,000. However, the time 
may come when a large portion 
of this expense will be borne 
not by the individual or the 
societal unit that he is im¬ 
mediately associated with—his 
family—but by the community 
at large on a long-term basis. 
The businessman amortizes his 
capital equipment over a long 
period of time; this makes good 
sense in any economy. There is 
good reason to believe that the 
training of the human mind 
should also be amortized over an 
extended period, perhaps from 
the time when the Ph.D. is con¬ 
ferred until its retirement from 
active production in one sense 
at the normal retirement age of 
65. This would provide approxi¬ 
mately 35 years for the individ¬ 
ual to take care of his personal 
educational mortgage with sub¬ 
stantial assistance from the 
community. Our common stake 
in the highly trained, skilled, 
and well-educated individual is 
so necessary to our continued 
strength that we must all sup¬ 
port education more realistically 
in the future than we ever have 
in the past. 


Biography: College Story, Too 


(Continued from Page 4) 
be revolutionized to remain com¬ 
patible with students’ objectives 
and needs. 

It has always been my belief 
that the Dean did not really 
regret the turn which his per¬ 
sonal career persisted in taking. 
He loved to teach and think 
about mathematics, but nothing 
seemed to give him quite as 
much satisfaction as to succeed 
in bringing out the best in 
young men. I remember pro¬ 
testing to him that one par¬ 
ticular weak sister was pulling 
his leg so hard that he would 
soon be all out of shape. “I 
know he is,” he replied, “but 
I confess that I enjoy the sen¬ 
sation.” 

Occasionally he would decide 
that he should toughen up. 
Exasperated by a lame duck 
with a genius for developing 


problems, he was heard to ex¬ 
claim: “I don’t suppose that you 
can ignore that fellow, but you 
can certainly neglect him.” 

Drawing upon the Dean’s own 
annual reports, which are quoted 
generously, the book reveals the 
great mutual respect which Dean 
Hawkes and President Butler 
had for each other. I know that 
the Dean regarded the President 
as a truly great man. But they 
were birds of a different feather, 
and once in a relaxed moment 
the Dean remarked to me; “He 
wouldn’t be much of a fellow to 
go fishing with.” 

Dr. Weld and Mrs. Sewny have 
done exceedingly well in telling 
the story of the building of the 
modern curriculum; Contempo¬ 
rary Civilization, Humanities, 
the Colloquium, and the other 
courses which continue to be the 
largest jewels in the Columbia 
crown. It is the same story in 
personalized form as that told 


in the recent excellent book, A 
History of Columbia College on 
Morningside. They have been 
equally successful in describing 
the Dean’s development of a re¬ 
markable guidance program, his 
belief that the principles of 
student discipline should be con¬ 
structive rather than punitive, 
and his conception of the edu¬ 
cation of “ the whole man.” 
Thousands of Columbia men can, 
and I hope will, read these 
chapters with a rekindled real¬ 
ization of what Dean Hawkes’ 
ideas meant personally to them, 
in many instances the differ¬ 
ence between real success and 
lasting failure. 

The authors of Herbert E. 
Hawkes have made a contribu¬ 
tion to Columbiana which will 
earn for them the gratitude 
of all of us w'ho are proud 
that Columbia stands honored 
throughout the land, now and 
for aye.

COLUMBIA COLLEGE TODAY 


FEBRUARY, 1959 



Lion Afield 

By PATRIC MULLINS 

Sports Editor, 

Columbia Daily Spectator 


Twenty five years ago last week, Columbia's underdog foot¬ 
ball team upset Stanford, 7-0, in what many people still call 
one of football’s finest games. This past New Year’s Day marked 
the Silver Anniversary of that great contest. 

The day was December 29, 1933. Twilight had just fallen on 
Tucson, Arizona, as Columbia’s football team boarded its special 
train and departed for Pasedena, California. This was to be the 
final leg of a long cross-country trip, a trip which had actually 
begun with Columbia’s acceptance of an invitation to be guest 
team in the Tournament of Roses football team. 

But as the players traveled to Pasadena that warm night 
there was more than a ball game on their minds—there was a 
matter of personal prestige. Everyone had expected and wanted 
undefeated Princeton to be the East’s representative in the great 
classic. But Old Nassau had turned thumbs down on the invita¬ 
tion, and in desperation Rose Bowl officials turned to Columbia. 

“Columbia!” said a surprised “Pop” Warner, once head coach 
at Stanford, when told of the selection. “Stanford will certainly be 
too much for them.” 

Pacific Coast writers, not nearly so tactful, referred to Lou 
Little’s team as the “Pomona High School team in light blue 
jerseys.” 

Now, in just two days, the team would forever silence its 
critics, or . . , 

When the Columbia team arrived in Pasadena early the next 
morning it was met by torrents of the worst rain to hit Southern 
California in history. Firemen at the flooded Rose Bowl reported 
that the water was gaining an inch an hour on their pumping 
apparatus and drenched sportswriters declared that the game 
couldn’t possibly be played. Rose Bowl officials apparently in¬ 
clined to agree attempted to postpone the contest for three days, 
but both Columbia and Stanford refused. But finally, through 
some super-human effort, the field was cleared of excess water. 

At 12:15 New Year’s Day, Little called the team together in 
one of the hotel’s small mezzanine rooms, with trainer “Doc” 
Barrett being instructed to guard the door against eavesdroppers 
and curious hotel guests. 

“We will play the game as scheduled at 12:15 o’clock,” Little 
said simply. And silently the serious group of players rose from 
their seats to begin boarding buses for the short ten minute 
trip to the Bowl. 

At 1:40 Little again gathered his team around him. 

“We have taught you all the football we can,” he said slowly, 
pausing often for effect. “Go out and do your best and win this 
game as I know you can. It is just another football game, like 
Navy, like Cornell.” 

On three occasions during those first twenty minutes of 
play Columbia drove deep into its opponent’s territory, only to 
fumble away each opportunity. Now, once again the Light Blue 
found itself in scoring position—first and ten on Stanford’s 17. 

Three times Columbia lined up in a single wing to the right 
formation and three times the Indian line surged forward to 
stop quaterback Cliff Montgomery at the line of scrimmage. For 
the fourth time Columbia retreated to its huddle. 

“KF-79” barked Montgomery, calling for the play which was 
destined to be remembreed as long as football is played. Again 
Columbia lined up strong side right, and again the ball was 
snapped to Montgomery. But this time sophomore halfback A1 
Barabas was reversing his field, running towards Montgomery 
Deftly he took the ball and concealing it on his hip, skirted 
Columbia’s weakened two-man left side. Stanford was taken com¬ 
pletely by surprise. Only its safety man, Ben Maentz, seemed 
to realize what was happening and any chance he had of catch¬ 
ing the fleet Barabas was erased when Lion end Owen McDowell 
threw a perfect block on him. Barabas entered the endzone un¬ 
molested. 

Back in New York the packed crowd at the Columbia University 
Club let forth a tremendous roar. Then, just as quickly, silence 
prevailed, everyone leaning towards the big radio in the front 
of the room. 

“The kick is good,” exclaimed NBC announcer Ken Carpenter 
after what seemed to be an eternity. 

“Now they’ve got to score twice to beat us,” yelled one jubi¬ 
lant alumnus. 

“Hell,” came the retort, ‘they won’t even score once.” But 
Stanford was still capable of one more threat. It was late in 
the third quarter and with Bobby Grayson (many considered 
him to be the best back in football) the Indians moved to Colum¬ 
bia’s three, fourth and goal to go. Eager California photographers 
kneeled behind the end zone, waiting for the inevitable. 

“What’s the idea,” Columbia line backer “Bronco” Brominski 
quipped, turning to the cameramen. “You guys’ll never get a 
picture of Stanford scoring today.” 

40,000 fans in the huge Bowl and 2 million radio listeners 
waited anxiously as the ball was snapped to Grayson for one 
last do-or-die charge. But Lion center A1 Ciampa, playing close 
to the line, hurled himself forward horizontally over the line, 
driving Grayson back and causing him to fumble. Stanford was 
a beaten team. 

“. . . but heavy cleats only dent great hearts,” wrote Bill 
Corum ’21J, in the following afternoon’s New York Evening 
Journal. “They do not break ’em and the little boys from ’way 
back east still know how to fight and fight and keep on fighting, 
until at the finish it was Stanford that was thoroughly licked 
physically and mentally... 


Individual Successes Hidden

Columbia’s winter teams in the recent weeks have continued 
about as they started. The basketball team stretched its Columbia- 
record-setting losing streak to fourteen although the Lions came 
close to ending it on several occasions. The wrestlers won one and 
lost two in three extremely close mat tests. The swimmers engaged 
in five meets, winning one and tieing one as three Eastern Inter¬ 
collegiate League opponents took their measure. The fencers lost 
twice, to strong N.Y.U. and Navy squads, before winning over 
Harvard. While track has not competed in any dual or triangular 
meets yet, Donald Cohen, a junior from Jersey City, N. J., won the 
Metropolitan A.A.U. hurdles championship. He won the junior title 
last year. 

Archie Oldham made his debut 
as varsity basketball coach a suc¬ 
cessful one just os did new 
coaches Buff Donelli in football 
and Don Rose in crew before 
him. The team defeated C.C.N.Y. 
in the season’s opener. Since 
then, however, the Light Blue 
has been unable to find the win¬ 
ning combination. Of course the 
schedule has been of little help. 

The young, small Lions were on 
the road for nine of the next 
eleven games following the City 
triumph. 

Lack of height and experience 
have been Oldham’s chief prob 
lems. The team does have depth 
and balance. Murray Melton, 

Richie Rodin and Ed Auzenbergs 
have been the top Lion scorers 
thus far. Melton and Auzenbergs 
are sophomores and Rodin is a 
junior. An injury to junior guard 
Stan Needleman in the Rutgers 
game kept him from playing 
against the last four Lion op¬ 
ponents. Needleman seemed to 
be hitting his stride when he 
sprained his ankle. 

Captains Elected 

An annual event at the end of 
all Columbia seasons is the elec¬ 
tion of Captains for the follow¬ 
ing year. Next fall varsity 
football will be led by tackle 
Brian Dennehy, junior from 
Mineola, N. Y.; 150-pound foot¬ 
ball will be led by fullback Har¬ 
rison Hankins, junior from North 
Little Rock, Ark.; soccer will be 
led by defenseman Alexander 
Ratchinsky, sophomore from 
New York City; and cross-coun¬ 
try will be led by Louis Rissone, 
sophomore from Scarsdale, N. Y. 

Also the freshman footballers 
voted guard William Campbell, 
of Homestead, Pa., honorary cap¬ 
tain and John Javsicas, of New 
York City, was accorded the 
same honor by the freshman 
cross country team. 

Fall Sports Record 

For the record, here is how 
Columbia wound up this fall. 

Varsity football posted a 1-8 
record but there was hope for 
the future in the 3-2 mark 
scored by the best Columbia 
freshman football team in a de¬ 
cade. The 150-pound gridders 
won one of six games. The var¬ 
sity cross-country team did well 
in the regular season, trailing 
only Yale, Harvard and Fordham 
but finishing ahead of Dart¬ 
mouth, Penn (twice), Princeton 
and Rutgers. The team finished 
ninth in the Heptagonal cham¬ 
pionships and 22nd in the I.C.4A. 

The freshman harriers were un¬ 
able to win during the season. 

The soccer season was good, for 
a first-year varsity, 1-6-2, with 
three one-point losses included. 

Fencers Have Promise 

Once again this year the fen¬ 
cers have the best record of any 
Columbia varsity. Irv DeKoff’s 
D’artagnians have swept past the 
alumni, Rutgers and C.C.N.Y. in 


Gordon H. Ridings 

In mid-November Gordon H. 
Ridings, former Columbia bas¬ 
ketball coach and Associate 
Professor of Physical Educa¬ 
tion, died of a heart attack. 
Ridings, who was 51 years old, 
coached the Lion varsity with 
great success from 1946 until 
just before the 1950-51 season 
when he was sidelined because 
of a heart attack. 



HORACE MANN FRESHMAN LIONS: Columbia’s freshman 
athletic teams in 1958-59 owe a debt of gratitude to the Horace 
Mann Class of 1958. Six of the most outstanding Lion freshman 
athletes are members of that Horace Mann class. Kneeling, left 
to right—Bob Levine, high jumper in track, and Jim Cordon, 
157-pound wrestler. Back row, left to right—Tom Vasell, footbaU 
quarterback; and Bob Easton and Steve Lefkowitz, cub swim¬ 
mers. Wesley Johnson, hurdler and 600 yard runner, was in 
class when the picture was taken. 


convincing fashion. Sterner tests 
face the swordsmen but they 
have shown impressive depth, 
balance and talent. The one lack 
is experience. They are learning 
fast and several newcomers, 
especially junior foilsman Marty 
Zwick, of Brooklyn, and junior 
epeeman Frank Tuerkheimer, of 
New York City, are coming along 
rapidly. 

Wrestlers Improved 

The wrestlers are a much im¬ 
proved team over last year. A 
comparison, of their scores 
against Army last year and this 
year is revealing. In 1957-58 the 
Cadets swamped the matmen, 
32-0. Last month the Lions just 
missed tieing the Black Knights. 
The final score was, 17-11. 

Captain Dave Clark, 123- 
pounder from Cheyenne, Wyo¬ 
ming; Gene Appel, 177-pounder 
from Sharon, Pa.; and Carlos 
Henriquez, heavyweight from 
Yonkers, N. Y., have been the 
most efficient Lions. Sophomore 
Brien Milesi, of Teaneck, N. J., 


at 130; and junior Phil Suraci, 
also of Teaneck, at 137, have also 
looked good. 

The swimming team appears 
to be the equal of last year’s, 
w’hich posted a .500 record. A 
new star for the mermen is Joe 
Goldenberg, sophomore from 
Paterson, N. J. He has shown 
well in the butterfly and breast¬ 
stroke and should be a top Lion 
scorer along with captain Prank 
Ranhofer, of Flushing, N. Y., and 
Dick Stepcick, of Woodside, N. Y. 

The track team has been pre¬ 
paring for the big indoor meets 
in the series of Developmental 
Meets run by the A.A.U. Coach 
Dick Mason reports that hurdler 
Don Cohen looks like a really 
outstanding Lion competitor. He 
is much improved over last year 
and the future is bright for the 
Jersey City, N. J. junior. Other 
track men to watch will be pole 
vaulters Burt Cross and Pete 
Bogdanoff, quarter-miler cap¬ 
tain Sam Tindall and shotputter 
Tom Bratter.

Cahill, Gordon, Reindel & OhC 

63 Vfall Street 

New York 5, Mew York 

Dear John: 

1 wish it were possible for we to thank personally 
each of the alumni, parents and friends of Columbia College 
whose gifts to the 7th Fund have made it the success we now 
know it to be. Even more, I should like to be able to em¬ 
phasize how in^ortant each of these gifts is to the College 
and how much we have come to rely on them each year. 

Among its many contributions, the College Fund has 
made it possible for us to measurably strengthen our program . 
of financial aid to College students and to launch the sig¬ 
nificant program of faculty grants to enable promising young 
teachers in the College to complete their dissertations or 
other research. For us, the Annual Fund is also a hearten¬ 
ing expression of support for the College and of confidence 
in what we are attempting to accoit^lish for the College. 

1 want to thank you personally for your outstand¬ 
ing work as general chairman of the 7th Fund and for agree¬ 
ing to continue as general chairman for the 8th Fund. I 
hope you will convey my thanks as well to all who have 
helped make the 7th Fund a success. 


Sincerely yours.

$10,000Awardto TexasA&M 
For 'o7Alumni Fund Success 


Thirty-four of the nation’s 
universities, colleges and schools 
in all parts of the country were 
honored last month “for dis¬ 
tinguished achievement in the 
development of alumni support” 
at the Association of American 
Colleges’ 45th annual meeting. 

The Grand Award and a check 
for $10,000 went to Texas A & M 
College in recognition of the suc¬ 
cess of its 1957 alumni fund. 
Called upon to contribute for a 
campus chapel, scholarships and 
faculty achievement awards, 15, 
284 alumni of the colleges 31,200 
graduates and former students 
responded. 'The participation 
figure of 48.9 per cent is the 
highest ever compiled for the 
alumni fund effort of a major 
tax-supported institution. 

The Award Program, designed 
to broaden the base of suppyort 
for higher education, is spon¬ 
sored by American business and 
industry and has been launched 
this first year by a grant from 
the United States Steel Founda¬ 
tion. It is administered by the 
American Alumni Council. 

Princeton University received 
a $1,000 award for the best 
alumni performance in support 
of a private university. 

The program is a new type of 
aid to education by industry. It 
is the first corporation grant de¬ 
signed to rec(^ize and reward 
institutions showing notable suc¬ 
cess or improvement in obtain¬ 
ing financial support from 
alumni. 

Criteria guiding the panel of 


Judges included: the amount of 
funds raised from alumni, the 
number of ccmtributors, the per¬ 
centage of participation, dollar 
objectives, purposes for which 
funds were raised, the size of 
average gift, improvement over 
previous years, and additional 
evidence of a deliberate effort 
to broaden the base of support 
for the institution. This year’s 
program covered alumni fund 
raising efforts for the calendar 
year 1957 or the academic year 
1957-58. 


John T. Cahill *24, General 
Chairman of the 7th Annual Col¬ 
umbia College Fund reported 
that the Fund, just concluded, 
had set new records in number 
of contributions and amount of 
general purpose funds. 6,985 
alumni, parents and friends, in¬ 
cluding over one third of the 
alumni of the College made a 
gift to the 7bh Fund, the largest 
number ever to contribute to a 
single Fund. 

Mr. Cahill also reported an in¬ 
come of $179,157.48 which was 
made available to Dean John 
Gorham Palfrey for use in the 
College. Besides this, $138,594.02 
was contributed for special pur¬ 
poses within the College and 
$44,857.24 for special purposes 
within the University. 

Emphasis on Scholarships 

“Although the Final Report of 
the Fund identifies one scholar 
with each class, the Fund an¬ 
nually supports many more,” Mr. 
Cahill pointed out, adding, “The 
main emi^asis of the Fund con¬ 
tinues to be support of scholar¬ 
ships. But for the first time, this 
past year, the Dean was able to 
make grants to three members 
of the teaching staff of the Col¬ 
lege, to enable them to complete 
their scholarly work.’ The next 
issue of Columbia College Today 
will announce the names of these 
award recipients. It is expected 
that these grants will become 
annual awards and that they 
will be named in honor of a 
prominent member of the Col¬ 
umbia faculty. Mr. Cahill stated 
that the Fund, having supported 
many scholarships since its in¬ 
ception, was now fulfilling one 
of its long cherished hopes, of 
doing something for the mem¬ 
bers of the faculty. “Since pres¬ 
ent fiscal policy does not allow 
for direct support of salaries, it 
was felt that the Fund’s most 
valuable contribution might be 
to the young instructors whose 
teaching leaves little time for 
completion of doctoral require¬ 
ments,” Mr. Cahill said. “With¬ 
out this degree it is almost im¬ 
possible for an instructor to be 
promoted or retained as faculty.

teachers next year.

7 Annual Funds Attracted 
Top Volunteer Leadership 

With Arnold T. Koch ’21 serving as General Chairman, 
the first Columbia College Fund was held in 1951, under the 
sponsorship of Dean Lawrence H. Chamberlain and the Col¬ 
umbia College Council, which had been organized in 1950. 

-—- Its primary goal was to raise 

funds for scholarships for stu¬ 
dents in the College. Because the 
College has no separate budget, 
however, but shares along with 
all the other schools of the Uni¬ 
versity in the University’s allo¬ 
cations toward faculty salaries, 
buildings and grounds mainten¬ 
ance, student activities, and up¬ 
keep of the Library, the goals of 
the Fund were broadened to in¬ 
clude other areas of support — 
though scholarships continue to 
receive the most emphasis. The 
Fund is the College’s only source 
of vital “free” funds, and it now 
speaks to the alumni as the “sin¬ 
gle annual appeal for support of 
the general purposes of Colum¬ 
bia College.” 

Succeeding General Chairmen 
have been: Walter D. Fletcher 
’18, 2nd Fund; Benjamin J. But- 
tenwieser ’19, 3rd Fund; the Hon¬ 
orable Frank S. Hogan ’24, 4th 
Fund; The Rev. Gilbert J. Darl¬ 
ington 12, 5th Fund; the late 
Major General William J. Dono¬ 
van ’95, 6th Fund; and John 
T. Cahill, 7th and 8th Funds. 

Organized originally under an 
Executive Committee, the Fund 
established a Board of Directors 
in 1956 to administer its affairs 
and insure continuity. Theodore 
C. Garfel ’24, a New York realtor, 
has served as Chairman of the 
Board since Its inception.

COLUMBIA COLLEGE TODAY

350 Alumni to Attend Fund ‘‘Kick-off” Feb. 17: 
Cahill, Chairman, Urges “An Even Better Job 


Theodore C. Garfiel ’24, Chair 
man of the Board of Director, 
of the Columbia College Fund, 
has announced that his class¬ 
mate, John T. Cahill ’24, senior 
partner in the law firm of Cahill, 
Gordon Reindel & Ohl and a 
former U. S. Attorney for the 
Southern District of New York, 
who served as General Chairman 
of the 7th Fund has agreed to 
continue ir this capacity for the 
8th Fund. 

In his announcement early 
tills month, Mr. Garfiel expressed 
the Board’s “great satisfaction” 
inasmuch as Mr. Cahill has long- 
been identified with the develop¬ 
ment work of the College, having 
previously served as General 
Chairman of the 1948 Develop¬ 
ment Program for alumni gifts 
for scholarships and the con¬ 
struction of the Field House at 
Baker Field. With the endorse- 
me-nt of Dr. Harry J. Carman, 
then Dean of the College, and 
under the chairmanship of Aaron 
W. Berg ’24, that drive, Mr. Gar¬ 
fiel pointed out, met with great 
success and demonstrated “with¬ 
out question the real value of 
an annual Fund for Columbia 
College.” 

• Kick-off” Feb. 17 

Tlve 8th Annual Fund cam¬ 
paign will begin on Tuesday eve¬ 
ning, February 17th, when more 
than 350 alumni of the College, 
class officers. Fund chairmen and 
committeemen will gather at the 
Columbia University Club for 
the Fund's “Kick-ofI” meeting. 
Dean John Gorham Palfrey will 
address the alumni at his first 
“Kick-off” since assuming the 
decanal responsibilities of the 
College last July. The assem¬ 
blage will also hear Dr. John A. 
Kroiit, vice-president of the Uni¬ 
versity, who will bring greetings 
from the campus and award Col¬ 
umbia Lions for distinguished 
leadership in the 7th Fund to 
those listed for this award else¬ 
where in this report. 

The goals of the 8th Fund, as 
defined by Mr. Cahill are: 1) 
the raising of donor participa¬ 
tion to at least 7,500 alumni and 



John T. Cahill 

8tJi Fund Chairman 

a minimum of $240,000 in gen¬ 
eral funds thereby 2) maintain¬ 
ing at least the Fund’s present 
number of scholarships in the 
College (and hopefully to in¬ 
crease it) 3) widening its pro¬ 
gram of faculty grants and A) 
being able to allocate funds to 
various departments in the Col¬ 
lege who are in need of special¬ 
ized to'aching equipment. Mr. 
Cahill added that he took great 
pride, as he knew all Fund work¬ 
ers and donors did, in the real¬ 
ization that since the Fund’s 
inception over 800 Columbia Col¬ 
lege undergraduates have bene¬ 
fited from Fund scholarships 
Lauds MaeRain Committee 
Mr. Garfiel also pointed out 
that the Fund, in addition, serves 
as a channel each year for gifts 
in support of special purposes 
in the College, such as athletic, 
Kings Crown, and Earl Hall ac¬ 
tivities, and although no solicita¬ 
tion for special purposes is made, 
these actvities benefit from the 
work of the Fund each year, 

Mr. Garfiel paid special trib¬ 
ute to the work of the 8th Fund 
Planning Committee which 
“blueprinted” the 8 th Fund. 
Chaired by Gavin K. MacBain ’32, 
its members consisted of members 
of the Board, Messrs. Hammar- 


Business Spurs Alumni Giving 

In an effort to provide colleges and universities with “free 
funds” for tlie general use of the institution many corporations 
today, following an example established by the General Electric 
Company, match the alumni gifts of their employees, thereby 
doubling the value of the alumnus’ gift. Following are the 
names of those corporations with matching gifts programs as 
of December, 1959:

How To Make / 



And the alumni present were happy too. John T. Cahill '24, General Chairman of 
the 7th Columbia College Fund, right, expressed great pleasure in representing the 
Fundus 6,985 contributors when he presented a check for $362,468.74 to Dean John 
G. Palfrey at the conclusion of the 7th Fund. Joining Mr. Cahill and the Dean iS; 


I T has been claimed that education is the most 
important 'constructive’ enterprise in America. 
Substantial proof does exist that our schools and 
colleges, athough taken too much for granted until 
recent days, have played a vital role in the 
development of the country. 

To a very great extent higher education in 
America owes its existence to the understanding 
philanthropy of many who were, themselves, en¬ 
riched by a college education or those who, fail¬ 
ing to receive such benefits, perceived the extent 
to which this country would depend on the product

In Columbia College organized alumni activity 
has been responsible for increasing, in each of 
these last seven years, dollar support of current 
needs. It it a proud record of accomplishment in 
which donor, committeeman and college adminis- 
tartor can share great satisfaction, especially in 
the knowledge that over 800 young men have been 
aided in obtaining a college education through Col¬ 
lege Fund Scholarships.

HIGGINSIZER: Dr. Simon R 
MITCHNECK who has de¬ 
voted his professional life to 
producing clarity of speech 
in Hollywood films and on the 
Broadway Stage reviewed his 
unusual career in the New 
Yorker Magazine last month. 

With the delight of Shaw’s 
Professor Higgins, Dr. Mitch- 
neck has for a generation 
labored arduously to trans¬ 
form the speech patterns of 
theatrical personalities so 
that they could be audible to 
Aunt Jennie way up in the 
second balcony. 

In his continuing quest for 
intelligibility. Dr. Mitchneck 
has this season coped with, 
and over come the linguistical 
problems of such shows as: 
The World of Susie Wong, 
Flower Drum Song, and La 
Plume De Ma Tante. “As an 
artist studies the colors and 
shapes of things,” Dr. Mitch¬ 
neck says, “I study the un¬ 
dercurrents of speech to learn 
the culture it represents. 
Language is not just a matter 
of sound,” Dr. Mitchneck con¬ 
cludes, “it’s the revelation of 
a whole culture.” 



Campus representatives from Columbia, Princeton and Rutgers 
were welcomed to “College Night” at the Carteret School in West

With the 35th Reunion sched¬ 
uled for May 15th, 16th, and 
17th at Arden House the Class of 
’24 is ready to take the wraps off 
a program of activity that has 
been in planning since last 
spring. At that time President 
Charlie CRAWFORD appointed 
the 35th Reunion Committee 
with Ted GARFIEL as Chairman. 
Since then the committee has 
held several meetings at which 
the broad outlines of the Re¬ 
union year were planned. As part 
of the pregram Jim ANDERSON 
our vigorous Class Treasurer and 
Ben EDELMAN have been bring¬ 
ing up to date the vital statistics 
of the Class for a new directory 
scheduled to be mailed to all 
classmates (at class expense) by 
February. Some 200 members of 
the class have answered mail 
questionnaires. To the laggards 
— better late than never — but 
hurry please. 

Dick FAIRBANKS (of Shawnee 
fame) has accepted the position 
of Class Fund Chairman for the 
StJi Columbia College Fund. With 
his usual energy, enthusiasm and 
imagination he has already been 
at work with preliminary plans 
for our Fund participation dur¬ 
ing this big 85th Anniversary 
year. 

I The program for the Reunion 



Among the 200 alumni who attended the Society of Older Gradu¬ 
ates annual dinner last month in New York (see Page 3) were 
T. Embury Jones *27 (1.) of Cincinnati, Ohio, who is regional vice- 
chairman of the Standing Committee of the Association of Alumni 
of Columbia College, and Phillip B. Holmes ’26 (r.) of Amherst, 
Mass., a former regional member of the Standing Committee. 
With the Older Grads is Dr. John A. Krout, vice-pre.sident of 
Columbia, who brought the University’s greetings to the gathering. 


week-end itself is taking shape 
with Willy MARSHALL in charge 
of plans for the party. Hal MUL¬ 
LER is preparing the announce¬ 
ments and reservation forms and 
will be delighted with early re¬ 
sponses. Bill COLLINS, and Jack 
INGLIS two of our Californians 
have already made their reserva¬ 
tions. Mai BROWN is conducting 
a special personal mail campaign 
to bring forth classmates who 
have missed our previous reun¬ 
ions. Otto WHITELOCK, our 
Class Poet has promised to again 
create a Reunion opus. 

Other members of the Reunion 
Committee are Aaron W. BERG, 
George BOOSS, Jack CAHILL, 
Henry FINEBERG, and Frank 
HOGAN. 

Gerald B. BROPHY, General 
Counsel of North American 
Aviation has recently been elect¬ 
ed Senior Vice President of that 
company. 

Bill OFFENHAUSER was re¬ 
cently granted a patent on his 
“Mosquito Trap” which uses a 
recording of the mating call of 
the female of the species as a 
lure to electronic destruction. 
Oh, the uses for sex! 

On December 13th in 29 de¬ 
gree weather our own Dave 
CX>RY was seen to plunge into

The 25th Reunion of the Class 
of 1934 has been scheduled for

weather permits) and that his 
committee has arranged an “un¬

A nostalgic and highly enjoy¬ 
able 20th Anniversary Dinner 
and Dance was held by the class 
at John Jay Hall on Saturday, 
November 15th. Men who hadn’t 
seen each other in twenty years 
met, reminisced, boasted of their 
families, and exchanged pledges 
of more frequent reunions.

Paul and EIksIc TAUB, Don and 
Helen SCHENK, and Dean and Jean

order of business. A canvas of the 
crowd gave the nod for traveling 
the furthest to get to the Re¬ 
union to the MAGGIPINTOS 
(also longest married and second 
youngest child); youngest child 

GILETTES; most recently 
married—SCHLEIDERS.

MARK 

THE 

TEACHER 


Mark the tiger 
prowled the 
ways of the world 
and we prowled 
with him 

Mark turned the world 
to the light 

quietly and wonderinghj: 
we sa w the lights 
and colors 
shooting through it 

he stood in f ront of 
every tree and stone 
and gourd and vine 
amazed at the wonder 
of their being 

we stood too 

amazed at trees and vines, 
amazed at him 

Mark is a poet 
and a teacher too, 
a teacher and a learner: 

he learns as trees get green 
from sunlight; 
he teaches as a tree 
gives shade 

he is a father 
giving all his riches 
to his children 

all men are fathers 

but Mark's a remarkable 

father 

The depth of his love of the tvorld 
is impossible to know 
of his love of creation 
impossible 

of his love of his students 
impossible 

of his love of his subject 
impossible 


Alumni’s Highest Honor to Van Doren 


Over 500 College alumni, faculty and undergraduates were expected to gather in the rotunda of Low Memorial 
Library on April 29 to honor Mark Van Doren, recipient of this year’s Alexander Hamilton Medal. The presentation of 
the Hamilton Medal also marked the conclusion of Professor Van Doren’s long career on Morningside. The distinguished 



teacher, poet, critic and scholar re¬ 
tires June 30th after 39 years on the 
Columbia faculty. 

The Hamilton Medal, the Alumni 
Association’s highest honor was pre¬ 
sented to Professor Van Doren by 
Randolph I. 'Thornton ’28, president 
of the Association. 

Professor Van Doren becomes the 
fifteenth recipient of the Hamilton 
Medal, of which Nicholas Murray But¬ 
ler was the first. He is the fourth 
Medalist to have taught in the Col¬ 
lege. 

The Medal, “for distinguished ser¬ 
vice in any field of human endeavor,” 
by a former student or member of 
the College faculty, is awarded an¬ 
nually by the alumni in memory of 
Alexander Hamilton an early student 
of the pre-Revolutionary King’s Col¬ 
lege. 

The program of the “black tie” 
dinner included tributes to Professor 
Van Doren from three of his friends: 
actor Frederick March, playwright,

Former President Delights 

In Columbia Teaching Role 



Awards Named For Chamberlain 

Four College Teachers 
Given New Study Grants 

Dean John G. Palfrey has announced the selection of 
four Columbia College staff members as the first Lawrence 
. .. H, Chamberlain Fellows. 


With evident delight and ease, 
former Prevsident Harry S. Tru¬ 
man commanded the speaker's 
rostum in Columbia’s McMillin 
Academic Theatre on April 27 
to begin a series of three 
“cracker-barrel” lectures on 
America’s political traditions be¬ 
fore a corp of 400 Columbia 
College undergraduates. 

Mr. Truman inaugurated the 
William Radiner Lecture series in 
Public Law and Government. 
The lectureship was established 
as a memorial to William Rad¬ 
nor, a 1920 graduate of the Col¬ 
lege, by the Radnor Family Foun¬ 
dation of Chevy Chase, Mary¬ 
land. Mr. Radner, a lawyer, 
served for many years as counsel 
to various governmental agen¬ 
cies in Washington. He died in 
1951 at the age of 43. 

Introduced by Columbia’s 
President Grayson Kirk as “one 
of the great men of our times” 
and as “a man of outstanding 
courage” the former chief ex¬ 
ecutive warned “that our great 
republic” was founded on “blood, 
sweat and tears” and that it 
would only endure through the 
continuing dedication and in¬ 
volvement of its young i>eople 
in its political life. 

“Precinct to the Presidency” 

Mr. Truman noted that he 
had gone from the “precinct to 
the presidency” and had all his 
life been in political party af¬ 
fairs. He urged immediate par¬ 
tisanship for all present. He 
implored his students not to be 
afraid of being called a politi¬ 
cian. “When a good politician 
dies he becomes a great states¬ 
man,” Mr. Truman said. 

Palfrey Moderates Panel 

Mr. Truman spoke for thirty 
minutes each day and then join¬ 
ed a panel of six Columbia Col¬ 
lege undergraduates in a round 
table discussion. The panel dis¬ 
cussions were moderated by Col¬ 
umbia College Dean John G. 
Palfrey, Burgess Professor of 
Public Law and Government 
Lindsay Rogers and Hamilton 
Fish Professor of International 
Law and Diplomacy Philip C. 
Jessup. Both professors Rogers 
and Jessup aided Mr. Truman 
in the White House. Mr. Truman, 
who will celebrate his seventy- 
fifth birthday this month stated 
that he had not been a great 
President but that he had a 
good time trying to be. In re¬ 
sponse to a student question he 
said that in his opinion, Ameri¬ 
ca’s great Presidents were 


Washington, Jefferson, Polk, 
Lincoln, Cleveland, Theodore 
Roosevelt, Wilson and Franklin 
Roosevelt. 

He indicated that his admin¬ 
istration had turned the coun¬ 
try from isolationism to inter¬ 
nationalism and added “if you 
think that’s easy try it some 
time.” Mr. Truman also said 
that the most difficult decisioh 
he had to make as President 
was the Korean War. 

America’s foremost pedestrian 
arrived on campus each morn¬ 
ing at 8:00 A.M. He had break¬ 
fast (ham and eggs) in the 
home of Public Law and Gov¬ 
ernment Professor and Mrs. Neu- 
stadt. Professor Neustadt who 
served Mr. Truman in the White 
House as an administrative aide 
and Professor Rogers were 
largely responsible for bringing 


Fifteen Awarded Wilsons 


Fifteen Columbia College men 
have been awaarded Woodrow 
Wilson Fellowships for the aca¬ 
demic year 1959-60. Each Wilson 
Fellow will receive a living al¬ 
lowance of $1,500 plus the full 
cost of tuition and fees at the 
graduate school he attends. The 
Wilson Fellowship program, 
backed by a $25 million grant 
from the Ford Foundation, sup¬ 
ports prospective college teach¬ 
ers. 


the former president to Colum¬ 
bia. At breakfast each morning 
he was joined by the six under¬ 
graduates who served on the 
McMillin panel. 

Mr. Truman’s three lectures 
topics were: “The Presidency,” 
“The Constitution” and “Hys¬ 
teria and Witchhunting.” 


Rare Book Is Gift 
Of Class of 1923 

A valuable Elizabethan trans¬ 
lation by Arthur Golding of “Ae¬ 
sop’s Fables” has been presented 
to the Columbia University Li¬ 
braries by the College’s Class of 
1923, according to Dr. Richard 
H. Longsdon, director of the Li¬ 
braries. 

The Golding translation, which 
has never been published, was 
made in about 1590 and has re¬ 
mained generally unknown until 
' recently. The ’23 gift marks the 
first time a Columbia College 
class has undertaken to establish 
a class memorial in the form of 
a library treasure. 

The manuscript will be lodged 
in the ibraries’ Special Collection 
division.

The Trustees of Columbia 
University note with pro¬ 
found sorrow the death of 
their colleague for many 
years. A graduate of Co¬ 
lumbia College and of the 
School of Law, a distin¬ 
guished member of the bar, 
a citizen devoted to the pub¬ 
lic interest, he served his 
country well. In Columbia 
he will long be remembered 
as a devoted son of Alma 
Mater.

Clerk of Trustees 


Expect Greater 
Language Study 
Of New Students 

starting in the Fall of 1962 
Columbia College will require 
applicants for admission to pre¬ 
sent three years of satisfactory 
study of one foreign language in 
secondary school or an equiva¬ 
lent competence in the language. 

John G. Palfrey, dean of the 
College, said the action was tak¬ 
en because the Faculty of the 
College “believes that more rig- 
orus study of foreign languages 
in secondary schools should be 
encouraged by the College.” In¬ 
creasing the admission require¬ 
ments is one way of encourag¬ 
ing high schools to improve their 
foreign language programs, he 
added. 

Beginning next fall, the Dean 
said, “preference will be given 
to those applicants presenting 
these qualifications.” At present 
the College’s admissions officers 
recommend high school study of 
a foreign language but it is not 
now a requirement for admis¬ 
sion. 

The new requirements are in 
line with recent recommenda¬ 
tions for improving foreign lan¬ 
guage studies made by Dr. James 
B. Conant, who recently com¬ 
pleted a two-year study of Amer¬ 
ican secondary schools for the 
Carnegie Corporation. 


The four are: Dr. Bert M-P. 
Leefmans, assistant professor of 
French; Dr. Matthew S. Llpman, 
assistant professor of Philoso¬ 
phy; James M. Zito, instructor 
in English; and Alfred J. Kana, 
associate in Statistics. 

The fellowships, named for 
the sixth dean of Columbia 
College, will free the young 
“scholar-teachers” from their 
present teaching commitments 
in order to enable them to com¬ 
plete pending research j rejects. 

Dean Palfrey, emphasized that 
it would have been impossible 
to establish the Chamberlain 
Fellowships without the aid of 
alumni and parents who have 
supported the Columbia College 
Fund. 

Dean Palfrey expressed par¬ 
ticular pleasure inasmuch as the 
fellowships will honor his 
predecessor Dean Chamberlain, 
under whose administration the 
new, then unnamed, grants 
were first promulgated. In his 
1957 - 58 Dean’s Report, Dr. 
Chamberlain indicated that such 
a fellowship program would en¬ 
able the College to assure “the 
young scholar-teacher that if he 
devotes himself to his students 
his chances of promotion need 
not be jeopardized because of 
the lack of time for his own re¬ 
search and writing. Rather,” the 
dean stated, “good teaching will 
be rewarded by time off for his 
own work.” 

“Although the research grant 
can be usefully employed at any 
level of rank, it has particular 
value,” Dean Chamberlain added, 
“at the levels of instructor and 
assistant professor . . . (where 
young staff members) are con¬ 
fronted with the double task 
of gaining scholarly recognition 
and of mastering the difficult 
art of teaching.” 

Dr. Leefmans, who came to 
CJolumbia as a lecturer in 1947, 
is currently engaged in pre¬ 
paring a study of “a series of 
novels by major French novelists 
between the two world wars.” 
Dr. Leefmans, who has served 
on many faculty committees, was 
chairman of Humanities A in 
1955-56.

Cahill Reports Greater 
Giving to College Fund 

John T. Cahill ’24, General Chainnan of the 8th Co¬ 
lumbia College Fund, voiced optimism recently that the Fund 
would reach and even surpass its goals for the current year. 
“As of April 28th” Mr. Cahill «> 
said, “we have received 2,673 


gifts totalling $122,552.60. Of this 
figure, $45,500.31 is for special 
pupose gifts for the College, and 
$77,052.29 for the general pur¬ 
poses of the College.” He pointed 
out that as of this date last 
year the Fund had received 
1,829 gifts totalling $74,045.36. He 
gave credit for this fast start to 
the work of the Fund Chairmen 
of the various classes and their 
committees who have been con¬ 
ducting a personal solicitation 
program and to this year’s Fund 
mailings which are designed to 
show the need for gifts to the 
College and inform alumni 
about the College. These mail¬ 
ings have been prepared under 
the supervision of the Planning 
Committee for the 8th Fund, 
headed by Gavin K. MacBaln ’32. 
The full mailing program is 
being sent to all alumni—even 
those who made their gift early, 
he explained. 

Leaders Are ’19 and ’58 

The most recent Fund Prog¬ 
ress Re^port dated April 24th, 
showed the class of ’58, chair¬ 
man Frank Safran, in first place 
with 122 gifts; ’54, chairman 
John J. McGill, in second place 
with 99 gifts, and ’48, chairman 
George L. McKay, Jr., in third 
place with 94 gifts. The class of 
1919, chairman Alan E. Burns, 
had the greatest amount of 
money, $20,262.89. The class of 
1912, chairman Albert L. Siff, 
was in second place with $14,- 
907.68 and the class of 1921, 
chairman Nicholas M. McKnight, 
in third place with $4,460.48. 

Mr. Cahill announced that the 
Senior class of Columbia College 
was conducting its own Fund 
campaign on the campus. The 
drive began on April 22nd and 
will continue through May 6th, 
under the chairmanship of Alan 
M. Gelb ’59, who is confident 
that his class will set new per¬ 
formance records. The annual 
appeal for gifts from parents is 
expected to begin in about one 
week. The Chairman of the 
parents program is Mr. Lionel 
M. Perera, whose son Thomas is 
a member of the Class of 1960. 

The goals for the 8th Fund as 
stated by Mr. Cahill were at 
least 7,500 donors and $240,000 in 
general purpose gifts. “This 
money,” Mr. Cahill explained. 


“will be used to support the 
scholarship program of the Col¬ 
lege; to provide specialized 
teaching equipment for its vari¬ 
ous departments, and to support 
the Lawrence H. Chamberlain 
Fellows. (See Page 3). 

The General Chairman stated 
that a survey of early gifts to 
the Fund would seem to indicate 
that there has been some in¬ 
crease in the size of gifts to the 
Fund this year. 


Univ. Trustees 
Elect Gossett, 
Ford Official 

William T. Gossett ’28L, vice 
president and general counsel of 
the Ford Motor Company, and a 
member of the Company’s Board 
of Directors has been elected a 
life trustee of Columbia Univer¬ 
sity. 

The fifty-five year old native 
of Texas joined the Ford Motor 
Company in 1947 after an ex¬ 
tensive career in law as a spe¬ 
cialist in corporate finance and 
litigation. A member of the New 
York law firm of Hughes, Rich¬ 
ards, Hubbard & Ewing since 
1937 he has participated in sev¬ 
eral major corporate reorganiza¬ 
tions and from 1937 to 1941 was 
the defense lawyer for the Alum¬ 
inum Company of America in a 
celebrated anti-trust dissolution 
suit brought against that firm by 
the United States Government. 

Mr. Gossett, whose undergrad¬ 
uate days were spent at the Uni¬ 
versity of Utah where he gradu¬ 
ated in 1925, is a member of the 
Board of Visitors of the Columbia 
Law School. He is also a trustee 
of the Cranbrook Foundation, a

Columbia physicist Charles Townes has received patent rights 
on his unique “Maser,” or atomic clock, and has turned them over 
to the Research Corporation, a non-profit organization. It was 
the Maser, developed in Columbia laboratories, that made it pos¬ 
sible for MIT scientists to “bounce” a radio signal off Venus. It 
is probably the world’s most sensitive instrument.

Note from the Horace Mann Alumni Bulletin: “Eighty-eight 
members of the Class of 1958 have entered Ivy League colleges. 
Columbia enrolled thirteen, Yale and Cornell eight each. Harvard 
seven, Pennsylvania five, Princeton four, and Brown and Dart¬ 
mouth three each.” 

Quote in New York World-Telegram and Sun by football guard 
Gene Appel: “Aside from its educational reputation, I chose Co¬ 
lumbia because I liked the idea of all the wonderful industry in 
New York and I felt that the campus school elsewhere wouldn’t 
be as good for me as the city school where I could meet so many 
different types of people.” Added the World-Telegram: “The Lion 
guard must be happy here. Whenever he gets back to Sharon, 
Pa., he checks the grades of the best football players at his old 
high school and to those who qualify he talks up Columbia. He 
wants as many boys from Sharon to get the opportunity to go 
to college and largely thanks to Gene there are two other Sharon 
products now at Columbia—center Bob Kish, a junior, and Don 
Miller, sophomore guard.”

President Eisenhower’s recent nomination of 
Manhattan lawyer Charles M. Metzner ’31 for 
a United States judgeship, when confirmed by 
the Senate, will bring together three Columbia 
College graduates on the same federal bench 
in the Southern District of New York. The 
47-year-old Republican, who in 1953-4 served 
the Eisenhower administration as executive as¬ 
sistant to former U. S. Attorney General Her¬ 
bert Brownell Jr., joins Judges Frederick van- 
Pelt Bryan ’25 and Archie O. Dawson ’21 on, 
what is generally, the busiest federal district court in the nation. 

A member of the New York and Washington law firm of 
Chapman, Walsh & O’Connell, Mr. Metzner has long been a 
familiar figure in Republican party politics in New York. Last 
year, he served as Governor Rockefeller’s assistant campaign 
manager and, in 1954, headed former U. S. Senator Irving M. Ives’ 
gubernatorial campaign. A Columbia man since the age of 15 
when he enrolled in the College, Mr. Metzner served as chairman 
of the Class of 1931 College Fund committee in both the 6th and 
7th Fund campaigns. 

The George Polk Memorial Award for “out¬ 
standing local reporting” has been presented to 
New York Post reporter William F. Haddad ’54 
for his Post series on housing conditions in 
New York and his disclosures of corruption in 
the New York City Building Department. Mr. 
Haddad joined the Post in 1957 as a man of 
some durability who had performed extraord¬ 
inary feats as a mariner, student, and political 
campaigner. 

After enlisting in the Merchant Marine at 
the age of 16, Ensign Haddad became the youngest officer to serve 
in that service during World War II and stayed at sea for five 
years before coming to Columbia. On Morningside, he took 59 
points in a single academic year, was a “special student” at the 
School of Journalism and at the Julliard School of Music while 
still an undergraduate, and returned to the sea during the sum¬ 
mer and holidays to finance his education. After graduating in 
1954, he quickly became involved in national Democratic Party 
activities, served as an aide to U. S. Senator Estes Kefauver, and 
in 1956, at the age of 27, led the Senator’s successful convention 
fight for the Democratic Party's vice-presidential nomination. 

At present, Mr. Haddad, besides his Post work, is trying “to 
wind up” a Ph.D. in Public Law and Government, plans to attend 
law school in the Fall, and is heading an insurgent group in 
New York City Democratic Party politics.

special projects director of the agency’s public 
relations division in New York. Co-author of 
the textbook “Risks We Face—^An Introduction 
to Property Insurance”, Mr. Bugli has been 
identified with the field of property insurance 
since 1937 when he became advertising manager 
of The London Assurance Group in this country. Bugli 

Arnold Siebinger ’38 has been named vice- 
president of the newly-formed Mobil Interna¬ 
tiona.! Oil Company, a subsidiary of Socony 
Mobil Oil Company Inc. A native of Washing¬

company in 1938 as a foreign trade trainee. 
Since then he has held managerial posts in 
Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Great Britain and at 
the firm’s headquarters in New York. In his 
new position he will be head of liaison with 
Stebinger Socony Mobil interests in the Far East.

Harry Heller ’29, assistant director of the division of corporate 
finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission was one of 
eleven Federal officials who, last month, received the 1959 Rocke¬ 
feller Public Service Awards, The 50 year-old lawyer, who played 
a key role in drafting New Deal securities legislation, has served 
the SEC for 23 years. The Rockefeller award, a study grant, will 
enable Mr. Heller to embark on a six-months survey of govern¬ 
mental and judicial regulation of corporations in seven Western 
European nations. At present, Mr. Heller is also a frequent lec¬ 
turer at law schools and bar associations throughout the country. 



Former State Supreme Court Justice Arthur

the New York Republican State Committee, a 
post he held from 1945 to 1952 when he was 
appointed to the bench by then New York Gov¬ 
ernor Thomas E. Dewey. Justice Schwartz, who 
is senior partner in the law firm of Schwartz 
& Frohlich, is also president of the New York 
County Lawyers Association, the nation’s larg¬ 
est local bar association. In 1931, as Assistant

Not so today. Every year now,f 
beginning in January and run¬ 
ning through sipring, blizzards of 
yellow College Board slips de¬ 
scend on the desks of admissions 
offices across the nation — slips 
that in cryptic numbers say 
something presumably signifi¬ 
cant about a quarter or a third 
of all students entering Ameri¬ 
can colleges. 

By now, any freshman on 
either side of the Monongahela 
should immediately know of the 
College Board and its tests. The 
trouble today, though, is that 
much of what he might know 
would not be true. 

If he shares some of the com¬ 
monest misconceptions, he might 
say that you need at least 600 
on the “College Boards” to get 
into a good college; that they’re 
terribly important, the main 
thing that decides whether you’re 
in or you’re out; and that some¬ 
one getting 505 on them is con¬ 
sidered definitely better — and 
of course is better — than a 
classmate getting 580 or 575. 

Scores Given to Seniors 

In these days of increasingly 
keen competition for places in 
the best-known colleges, such 
misapprehensions have harassed 
many a student and parent. 
From now on they may unnerve 
far more, despite increased ef¬ 
forts of the Board and of schools 
at correct explanation. Only last 
January, schools were allowed at 
their discretion to begin report¬ 
ing College Board scores to their 
seniors. Where college applicants 
could before be given only a gen¬ 
eral idea of how they had done 
on the tests, thousands upon 
thousands are now being told 


the fateful and inscrutable num¬ 
bers themselves. 

The Columbia View 

Just what do College Board 
scores mean today in college ad¬ 
missions? Suppose that we see 
by looking into their actual use 
by a founding and charter mem¬ 
ber of the Board — Columbia 
College, 

The College today requires all 
applicants to take the Scholastic 
Aptitude Test — the most widely 
used test of the Coliege Entrance 
Examination Board — and three 
of the subject-matter Achieve¬ 
ment Tests (the one in English 
Composition and any two others). 
Known in popular parlance as 


the “S.A.T.” and the “Achieve¬ 
ments,” these are the Board’s 
regular entrance tests. 

The first is a three-hour test 
of very general abilities yielding 
two scores — Verbal or SAT-V, 
and Mathematical or SAT-M. 
Unlike the SAT, each of the 13 
Achievement Tests is based on 
study of a particular subject; 
each of these one-hour tests 
yields a single score. 

Score Only One Index 

Five scores for each applicant 
are thus in the hands of Bernard 
P. Ireland ’31, Director of Ad¬ 
missions for Columbia College 
and a member of the admissions 
office staff since 1934. For each 


applicant he also has consider¬ 
ably more Information —^mainly 
a transcript of secondary school 
courses and grades, an account 
of extracurricular, community, 
and avocational activities,' a re¬ 
port of rank in class, a recom¬ 
mendation by the school, and, 
for candidates living not more 
than 50 miles away, notes on how 
the boy personnally struck him. 
or some other College interview¬ 
er. 

Most of the present 260 Board 
memiber colleges collect the same 
kinds of information on each ap¬ 
plicant. Among these, they gen¬ 
erally consider the high school

Government^ Banks Join in Student-Help Program 


75% at Columbia Get Jobs, $ Aid 


By HENRY S. COLEMAN ’46 
Assistant Dean, 

Columbia College 


In the last Issue of COLUMBIA COLLEGE TODAY, 
Joe Jefferson, University Director of Admissions and 
Financial Aid, outlined the dimensions of financial 
aid program necessary in higher education today. 

Here, Henry S. Coleman, Assistant 
Dean of the College, describes in 
some detail the various components 
in the financial aid program in Co¬ 
lumbia College. 

It is a fair estimate that over 75 
percent of our current undergraduate 
student body is receiving at least 
one form of financial aid this year. 
I include in this estimate all types 
of scholarships and loans. College, 
State, or Federal, and term-time employment on or 
off canapus. This may appear to be a high percentage, 
but when you consider an average yearly cost of $2,550 
it becomes clear that there are few families able to 
meet the entire bill without some help from outside 
sources. 

The important change in financial aid today is the 
emphasis on the tyi>es of aid known as “self-help” aid; 
namely, summer employment, term-time employment, 
and long-term loans. Since 1964 when the College 
Scholarship Service was formed, we have given greater 
emphasis in our aid program 40 the self-help factor. 
Our philosophy is that no undergraduate ^ould ex¬ 
pect a free ride through the scholarship program. All 
undergraduates are capable of covering part of their 
college expenses on their own, and we have set a mini¬ 
mum self-help factor of $800 for almost all of our 
scholarship candidates. This sum may be earned doir- 
ing the summer, during the term, or borrowed on a 
long-term loan basis. Of course, this is in addition to 
whatever the family is capable of contributing. 


My figure above of 75 per cent did not include sum¬ 
mer employment. I feel certain that almost 95 per cent 
of our students are working during the summer 
months. The positions vary from camp counselor to 
hotel bus-boy; playground superintendent to construc¬ 
tion worker; lab technician to office clerk. The aver¬ 
age net wage over a four month summer period is $500. 
Camp jobs rarely pay that well and many students in 
these jobs net no more than $250. On the other hand, 
the construction worker may net over $1,000. In doing 
so, he has more than enough to meet his self-help 
factor before the school year actually begins. 

Student Jobs in Demand 

Term-time employment is not so universal, due in 
part, to difficult academic schedules and a shortage of 
suitable jobs. However, 60 per cent of our students are 
working during the term, both on and off the campus 

_ a large number of them at jobs secured through 

the Student Employment Office. I realize that there 
are different philosophies as to the benefits of working 
during the academic year, but I feel that twelve to 
fifteen hours per week of employment will not affect 
measurably a man’s academic record and will, in most 
cases, leave him sufficient time to carry at least one 
major extra-curricular activity. Campus jobs include 
work in the dining halls, libraries, and many campus 
offices but we are constantly faced with a need for 
more job opportunities on the campus itself. I am 
pleased to report that next fall, 99 per cent of the 
non-professional jobs in new Ferris Booth Hall are 
being set up as student positions. This will amount 
to over 100 new openings in our campus employment 
program. We could stiU use several hundred more. 

In view of our location in New York City, the jobs 
of course, are not limited to those on campus. Columbia 



College students are working all over the city as file 
clerks for insurance companies, musicians, part-time 
teachers, post-office employees, and in many other 
positions similarly available in the most diverse em¬ 
ployment market in the world. The average term-time 
earning runs to $300 per year but can be more, de¬ 
pending on the type of job and the hours. For in¬ 
stance, Dining Hall jobs have a value of $450. Vital as 
this Income is we see equal advantage in the experi¬ 
ence gained by each individual. 

I think that the most dramatic change in self-help 
financial aid is seen in the long-term loan program. 
The following table helps to illustrate this point: 


Academic Year 

1956- 57 

1957- 58 

1958- 59 


College Loans 
$ 37,000 
71,000 
130,000* 


University Loans 
$130,CC0 
308,000 
700,000* 


♦These figures include New York State Loans as 
well as Loans from Columbia Funds. 


Some of the reasons for this tremendous increase 
in the use of loans are, of course, the recent recession 
and the rise in tuition; but I like to think that more 
important than those factors has been a change in 
philosophy on the part of the public in regard to fin¬ 
ancing a college education through loans. At Columbia 
the terms of borrowing were liberalized, interest rates 
reduced, repayment schedules spread out and the co¬ 
maker requirement abolished. The student who had 
seen his family use a payment program to buy a house, 
a oar or an appliance, began to realize that it was no 
disgrace for him to take out a mortgage on his edu¬ 
cation. 

Beginning with September 1068, New York State 
guaranteed loans made by commercial banks to New

9C as outstanding center of student life 

F erris booth hall will be ready for Columbia College 
this Fall — permitting a greatly enriched extra-curricular 
program. Its completion will fulfill the hopes of generations of 
students and alumni who have stressed the need for a “center” 
for the College community. This building, accomplished through 
the philanthropy of many who recognized the void it would fill, 
is expected to become the busy hub of broadened community 
life for undergraduates. 

It will house all functions of student government; it will be 
the social center of Columbia College. It is to act as clearing 
house for all projects through which students of the College 
render service to the University and to the New York Com¬ 
munity. 

It is to accommodate forums on important topics: discus¬ 
sions of student life, national affairs, world problems. It is to 
bring undergraduates into contact, in informal surroundings, 
with some of the great citizens of our time — in the community, 
the nation, and the world. 

Designed to Foster Student Interests 
It is to facilitate understanding of political parties, that 
undergraduates may learn at first hand something of their meth¬ 
ods, value and significance. It is to afford space for the cultural 
interests of students: music, painting, sculpture, drama, ceramics 
and the graphic arts. But chiefly its function is to serve as a tool 
whereby the College provides opportunity that each student may, 
voluntarily, become an integrated and contributing member of the 
undergraduate community. 

One of the most important features, perhaps, will be the 
Wollman Auditorium, provided through gift of the William J. 

Wollman Foundation. It will serve not only as a theatre but in 
turn as a lecture and assembly hall seating 800, as a ballroom 
accommodating 600 couples; and as a banquet hall with a capac¬ 
ity of 650. Of equal importance, in the opinion of the College 
administration, will be the Committee Conference Rooms in 
which much of the debate and discussion concerning campus 
and community responsibilities will be conducted. 

New Quarters for King’s Crown Activities 
The undergraduate publications — Columbia Daily Spec¬ 
tator, Jester, Review, Columbian and others will all have ade¬ 
quate quarters here. Here, too, in enlarged quarters with the 
most modem facilities, WKCR, the undergraduate radio station, 
which this year has been licensed by the Federal Communica¬ 
tions Commission to increase its power and to transmit via FM, 
will broadcast its comprehensive program of entertainment and 
public service shows. 

The campus off-hour social center will continue to be the 
Lion’s Den, removed from John Jay Hall into enlarged quarters. 

The decor of the Den, as well as its convenience in providing in¬ 
formal dining facilities suggest its continued popularity as the 
casual campus meeting place. The cost of the Den was under-’ 
written by a gift of the late Norvin H. Green ’19. For the use 
of students who live off-campus, there will be mailboxes and 
locker facilities which will serve them in connection with evening 
campus engagements. Appropriate rooms will provide game 
facilities, including billiards, ping-pong, cards and bowling. 

“Home Base” for Citizenship Program 
Ferris Booth Hall will also be the “home base” of the Col¬ 
lege’s Program in Citizenship. This program is conceived in the 
belief that citizenship is a habit best acquired early; that the 
time a man or woman spends as a college undergraduate offers a 
notable opportunity for developing a life-time pattern of civic 
responsibility. 

Above all, for the first time on the Momingside campus, 
there will be available to every student of the College a “home,” 
where he may play host to his guests or on his own, or in com¬ 
pany with college-mates, relax in the comfortable lounges or 
participate in Ferris Booth’s many activities. 

♦ ♦ ♦ 

Gifts to Ferris Booth Hall now exceed $4,000,000. 

While the major costs of the construction of Ferris Booth 
Hall were provided through gifts of the late Mr. and Mrs. Willis 
H. Booth in memory of their son, and while generous gifts of 
others have been of inestimable importance in underwriting the 
cost of various facilities within the building, additional financing 
is required to complete the furnishing and endowment of the Hall. 

Alumni and friends of Columbia College will find many attractive 
memorial and tribute opportunities in this building. The range 
of selection is as wide as the scope of activities planned for the 
building. Information on these will be supplied on request to Mr. 

William T. Taylor, Chairman, Finance Committee, 4 West 43rd 
St., New York 36, N.Y. 



ENTRANCE LOBBY: This spacious and modern entrance will establish a 'first impres¬ 
sion' of the friendly and youthful character of Ferris Booth Hall. ' 



CAMPUS LOUNGE: Facing the campus through a wall of tall windows this cheerful 
room will be equally attractive for relaxation between classes or formal receptions. 




LION'S DEN: For eating or "just talk," this is the setting in which more College stu¬ 
dents are likely to spend more leisure time than any other campus area. 


WOLLMAN AUDITORIUM: The multiple uses of this magnificent room, theatre, ban¬ 
quet hall, ballroom will make it one of the most popularly used rooms in Ferris Booth.

Under the energetic chair¬ 
manship of vice president ED 
SCHLEIDER, two Spring events 
are planned: Bachelor Beefsteak 
Dinner, Thursday night. May 7, 
at the Alumni Wing of the Baker 
Field Fieldhouse. An event, that 
is always an enjoyable evening 
for trenchermen, raconteurs and 
just plain civilians. Family Pic¬ 
nic; June 6, at Camp Columbia, 
Bantam Lake, Conn. Another 
annual—this one bringing joy 
to the whole family. Scheduled 
for a new locale this year (we’ll 
send you maps). But the same 
broad program of barbecue, 
baseball and fishing—^with a 
number of extras. 

Class members are cordially 
Invited to join the regular Class 
Lunch, first Thursday of every 
month, 12:30, in the Butler Room

New Yorker magazine readers 
in the class were pleased to 
note, in the recent profile of 
Jazzman Gerry Mulligan, a ref¬ 
erence to classmate Ralph 
GLEASON (newspaperman and 
writer for Down Beat) as “San 
Francisco’s reigning jazz au¬ 
thority.” If your memory is long 
enough, you can remember 
Ralph plugging Tommy Dorsey 
in Spectator and Jester when 
only the aficionados knew that 
TD meant something besides 
touchdown. Stay beat, Ralph.

Though our Spring Reunion was 
not the resounding success that 
all concerned with it had hoped 
for, it did result in the formation 
of tentative plans for a CLASS 
PICNIC, to be held early in June 
at the Nevis Estate, or some simi¬ 
lar locale. You will hear more 
about this in subsequent commu¬ 
nications. In the meanwhile, 
start making sandtwiches! 

It apipears that ’58 is going to 
continue to set records, at least 
as far as the Collie Fund is 
concerned. Last year, the first 
time we were “ta(pi>ed out”, we 
achieved over 9-6% participation, 
a new mark for a graduating 
class. This year, in the 8th Fund 
drive, ’58 is once again leading 
the way for all the classes, with 
114 donors as of April 14th. Our 
average gift of almost six dollars 
is almost something of a record 
in relation to that of the classes 
which directly precede us. Let’s 
maintain the momentum of this 
rapid start: send in your gift, or 
pledge, right away, and let it be 
known that ’58 takes a back seat 
to no one!

Government, Banks Join in Student-Help Program 

73% Receive Jobs^ Dollar Aid 


(Continued from Page 5) 
York State residents for their 
education. Over $40,000 of the 
$130,000 listed for the College 
this year represents loans taken 
out under the State Program. 
With a maximum New York 
State Regents Science Scholar¬ 
ship of $860 and a $500 State 
Loan, many New Yorkers are able 
to meet Columbia’s tuition and 
fee charges without any addi¬ 
tional help from the College. 

I won’t go into the Federal 
Loan Program which Joe Jeffer¬ 
son covered quite fully in his ar¬ 
ticle except to point out that 
this program offers a most im¬ 
portant additional source of loan 
funds. As can be seen, Coluanbia 
must look for a substantial in¬ 
crease in all loan resources if 
we are to continue, at the cur¬ 
rent rate, to operate the type of 
loan program to which our stu¬ 
dents are entitled. 

Shcolarships Still Vital 

Having covered the employ¬ 
ment and loan programs you 
might well wonder if there is 
anything left of the old “scholar¬ 
ship” program that used to be 
the backbone of financial aid. 
Scholarships — outright finan¬ 
cial grants as opposed to loans 
—are very much in evidence. The 
philosophy that a man must have 
a fine record to receive such an 
award still holds out, but the 
factor of need has become most 
important. Under current pro¬ 
cedures the amount of award de¬ 
pends solely upon need and not 
degree of excellence. 

Interestingly, the New York 
State Scholarship Program made 
changes wihich added the need 
factor last year so that Regent 
Scholarships now starts at $260, 
increasing to $700 on a need 
schedule. The State Science 
Scholarships start at $360 and go 
as high as $850. The amount of 
the award above the minimum 
figure is based upon the parents 
taxable income as reported to the 
State. 854 undergraduates or 
more than Vs of the present stu¬ 
dent body participate in the 
State scholarship Program with 
total benefits of $342,000. 

Although “need” has always 
been an important factor, Col¬ 
umbia College controlled scholar¬ 
ships have been awarded with 
great emphasis on need since 


1054, the year the College Schol¬ 
arship Service was founded. 
Through this service Columbia 
and a hundred other colleges 
have tried to put the measure¬ 
ment of need on a common basis 
and in so doing, have gone a long 
way toward removing scholar¬ 
ships as a competitive induce¬ 
ment in college admissions. 

From the financial informa¬ 
tion obtained through the Par¬ 
ents’ Confidential Statement, we 
attempt to arrive at a reasonable 
contribution to expect from par¬ 
ents. Add the students self-help 
factor to this expected family 
aid and the remaining part of 
the expenses must be made up 
by some type of scholarship aid. 
Let’s take a few examples. The 
first set of cases is based on a 
family with two children, no 
special financial problems, and a 
Columbia budget of $2,550. The 
only varying factor is the net 
family income before taxes. (See 
accomjpanying chart A). 

The second set of cases is based 
on a family with an annual in¬ 
come of $8,000. The varying fac¬ 
tor here is the number of chil¬ 
dren. (See accompanying chart 
B). 

Complex Computation 

Of course, many factors beside 
income and number of children 
are taken into consideration. 
Each case is computed separately 
and items such as other depen¬ 
dents, medical expenses, school¬ 
ing for other children, asset 
strength through insurance, real 
estate, savings and investments, 
are just a few of the variables 
entering into the computation. 
The College Scholarship Service 
has a Committee on Computa¬ 
tions made up of financial aid 
officers from member colleges 
constantly reevaluating the en¬ 
tire procedure to make certain 
that as far as possible our ex¬ 
pectations are reasonable and 
justified. It is fair to say that in 
some cases there is a wide vari¬ 
ance between the family offer 


and the computed contribution. 
In all such cases we are willing 
to make loan funds available to 
cover the difference. 

I have tried to steer clear of 
presenting too many figures in 
this report since the philosophy 
behind the operation of the fin¬ 
ancial aid program is to me more 
Important than figures and 
charts. However, the following 
table indicates the wide range of 
scholarship aid given to our stu¬ 
dent body of 2,450 students. The 
figures represent 1068-59. Some 
students are receiving aid from 
more than one source which ac¬ 
counts for the figures in paren¬ 
theses. 

More Scholarships Needed 

As you can see, over 60 per 
cent of the College student body 
is receiving well over a million 
dcliars in scholarship aid. 

Tuition charges have increased 
substantially in the past 12 years 
at most colleges. At Columbia, 
where this is also true, there has 
been an even greater proportion¬ 
ate increase in funds for scholar¬ 
ships, student jobs and loans. 
Five years ago Columbia College 
supported 33 per cent of its total 
scholarship aid from general in¬ 
come. Today over 50 per cent is 
supported out of general income. 
Other sources of support are the 
Columbia College Fund, Corpora¬ 
tions, Foundations, Labor-Man¬ 
agement Pensions Funds, Unions 
and special endowment income 
earmarked for scholarships. How¬ 
ever further increases in finan¬ 
cial aid, as the need increases, 
must result from increases in 
support from these latter spon¬ 
sors, rather than general income. 

With increased scholarship 
help from these sources and ad¬ 
ditional employment and loan 
opportunities, the College will 
be able to maintain its policy 
of giving the most able student 
an opportunity to receive a 
first-class education, regardless 
of his financial resources.

College Board Scores: 
One Index of Ability 

Other Considerations Important 
In Selection for College 


(Continued from Page 5) 
record — not the Board scores— 
to be the most important. 

But scores are generally con¬ 
sistent with the high school rec¬ 
ord and recommendation, Mr. 
Ireland points out. And they are 
“invaluable,” he adds, “in evalu¬ 
ating records from schools we 
know little or nothing about. In 
these instances we are inclined 
to place more reliance on the 
Board scores than on the school 
record for predicting academic 
SI. ccess.” 

►Scores and high school record 
do not always agree, however. As 
an example, he cites the recent 
case of a boy who ranked 20th 
in a class of 21 at a small Ne^v 
E.ngland preparatory schoo: and 
whose transcript carried mostly 
C and C- grades. But all five of 
the boy’s College Board test 
scores ranged into the high 700’s 
— very high on the 200 to 800 
score scale that is used for all 
of these tests. Mr. Ireland notes, 
incidentally, that with one ex¬ 
ception the five scores of individ¬ 
ual applicants ordinarily lie with¬ 
in about the same hundred-point 
range. The most frequent ex¬ 
ception to this will be foreign 
language test scores, which will, 
of course, vary with the number 
of years the language has been 
studied. 

Is “600” Magic Number? 

Do applicants need scores of 
at least 660 even to be considered 
by Columbia and like colleges? 
“Ridiculous,” declares Mr. Ire¬ 
land. “A third or more of the 
students admitted even to some 
of the most highly selective col¬ 
leges have scores below 600.” 

In the College’s admissions of¬ 
fice, the precise value of the 
three-digit scores is not taken 
too seriously in considering in¬ 
dividual applicants. This is as it 


admissions officer should assume 
— and most of them would not 
assiume — that an individual 
student with an SAT-V score of 
565 is more able because o-f that 
score than a student with 555. 

The College’s viewpoint is that, 
for the scores of any individual 
applicant, “the truth lies some¬ 
where within a 50-point range ” 
That is, the score which would 
accurately reflect a student’s 
ability or accomplishment is 
most likely to be within 26 points 
either way of his actual score. 

As a result of this broad in¬ 
terpretation of scores at Colum¬ 
bia College, applicants tend to 
fall into several broad score- 
range categories. “When a boy’s 
scores are down around the 450’s, 
he’s considered marginal,” Mr. 
Ireland observes. “We do admit 
some students scoring that low, 
but they must convince us that 
they have some special qualifi¬ 
cations as well as strong motiva¬ 
tion and stability. The special 
qualifications often take the form 
of significant contributions to 
the musical, political, editorial, 


or athletic life of one’s school. 
Sometimes we are bowled over by 
what we believe to be untisual 
force of personality or charac¬ 
ter.” 

Low Scorers Must Work Hard 

Most of the students who are 
admitted despite scores ranging 
down near the 450’s have to work 
hard to maintain passing aver¬ 
ages, as feared. Some of them 
do flunk out. However, most of 
those admitted do successful 
work. 

Of course, some students with 
“good” scores also run into aca¬ 
demic difficulty, Mr. Ireland 
notes, but usually because they 
fall in love or become personally 
distressed for other reasons. Of 
Columbia College’s 660 current 
freshmen, only 18 were in serious 
academic difficuty at the end of 
the first marking period. More 
than half of the 18 were in 
trouble for reasons not measured 
by their good Ltollege Board 
scores. 

Outlining higher score-range 
categories, Mr. Ireland explains 
that “boys scoring in or near the 
660’s — all other circumstances 
being equal — are almost always 
good, solid students. We have 
little or no doubt about admitting 
them, for we are confident that 
they will do well academically. 
Just how well depends on factors 
other than those reflected in 
their scores.” 

Hair-Splitting in the 700’s 

“From students scoring over 
760,” he continues, “ we expect 
special brilliance.” Most of these 
likely luminaries are accepted, 
but one occasionally crowds out 
another. “More and more we’re 
greater emphasis on need since 
and scores help with that,” he 
says. 

Disspelling certain misappre¬ 
hensions about College Board 
scores by indicating their use at 
Columbia gives rise to one per¬ 
haps even more gross — namely, 
a notion that the score levels in¬ 
volved in Columbia College ad¬ 
missions are tiypical for all Col¬ 
lege Board colleges, or perhaps 
for all American colleges. 

Most assuredly they are not. 
The average SAT-V score of all 
secondary school seniors taking 
the test over recent years has 
been around 475 ~ close to the 
College’s marginal level. Yet for 
the whole nation, this 475 is still 
a good score. Were all public high 
school seniors to take the test, 
the College Board estimates, their 
average SAT-V would be about 
350. By comparison, Columbia is 
one of the relatively few colleges 
whose entering classes have SAT- 
V scores averages that in recent 
years have climbed from the 
high 500’s into the 600’s. 
Columbia Average in the 600’s 

With the average scores of 
Columbia College students stand¬ 
ing in the 600’s and headed still 
higher, it might be felt that 
sheer brainpower in applicants 
has come to be unduly favored. 
This is not the case. 

“Some day I’d like to make a 
study of the 600-scoring boys,” 
muses Bernard Ireland. “I would 
pick the first group carefully for 
other qualifications, and the sec¬ 
ond at random. In ten years, I 
would expect to find the first- 
group men far ahead.”

COLUMBIA COLLEGE TODAY 


APRIL, 1959 



Lion Afield 

By JOHN AZARY '51 
Captain, Championship 1950-51 
Basketball Varsity 


A short time ago, Gordon Ridings died suddenly of a heart 
attack. His death was a great loss to Columbia and to the large 
number of Columbians who knew him. COLUMBIA COLLEGE 
TODAY has asked one of Ridings’ former players to write of his 
personal memories of the late Lion coach. John Azary ’51 was a 
recording-setting Columbia player for three seasons, an All-League 
and All Met. selection, and winner of the League’s Most Valuable 
Player Award and the Haggerty Trophy as New York City’s out¬ 
standing player. 

Memories of Gordon Ridings 


I was a senior at Commerce High School and I came up to 
University Hall to see Gordon about Columbia. We must have talked 
for about an hour, as I can remember it, and he spent almost all 
of it talking about what Columbia had to offer — education — and 
the value of it. I was imipressed by his sincerity, his frankness. He 
was talking about basketball too, but the “something else” was 
always there and to me it made sense. 

In 1948, we went to Puerto Rico for 19 days in September. It 
was a fine trip. One day we were sitting around before supper and 
two of the players (Tom Powers and Bob Sullivan, I think) were 
playing an informal game of checkers. Nothing spectacular, very 
casual. One of them made a move to the left (it must have been 
Powers) and suddenly Gordon let out a shout of anguish, “Oh, 
no, no!” Then he showed why the move was a bad one. He was 
competitive even as a checkers kibitzer, and always involved in 
the game. A coach?—you said it. 

A trip to the water cooler was always necessary. In fact many 
trips. He was a great water cooler man as we approached a big 
game and an even greater one on the bench. It got so that the team 
finally presented him with a silver drinking cup on our Western trip 
in 149-50 so that he could drink in style. 

Like every coach, he was nervous on the bench, and in his 
case I think he showed it openly a little more. The story that Bob 
Sullivan tells is that during one exciting game he turned to re¬ 
serve center Frank Lewis and ordered him — “Frank, go in for 
Lewis.” 

Practice, of course, was not too much fun. Gordon, a funda¬ 
mentalist, worked constantly on individual drills, footwork, shoot¬ 
ing, etc., until we had the reactions and moves as almost part of 
our nature. It was work, and more work, and don’t forget to get 
to practice on time or else have a good excuse. 

Sometimes, either before or after practice he would start a 
two man game with a few of us against him and Lou Rossini. They 
were slow and out of shape, (pardon me Lou) but the moves were 
good, and they were rough. There was usually an abundance of 
“educated elbows” and “hanging hands.” Timing was important 
too. The right push had to be administered at the right time to the 
right player (usually the one shooting of course). But we got used 
to the rough and tumble of this “non-contact” sport. 

Gordon did his share of arguing at referees’ calls. But I re¬ 
member only one game in which he blamed a loss on the referee. 
There were many other tight games, but after a loss, he never 
excused the team, or himself on the grounds of poor officiating. 

He usually had a plan for playing the ball game and generally 
we followed it. Sometimes, however, there was the unexpected. 
In one tight game at University Hall, he was shouting, as usual, 
to get the hall to Azary (you can see why he was my favorite 
coach) to set up a pivot play. Norman Skinner had other ideas. 
Since his man was laying off him, he brought the ball down and 
took a 30-foot set shot right next to the bench where Gordon 
was screaming in his ear to get the ball to me. He made the basket. 

The next time we got the ball, Gordon kept shouting to get 
the ball to me. Norm again brought the baU up and with his man 
still laying off, he shot again. Another basket. This happened 
twice more. Gordon shouting to get the ball to me and Norm 
calmly shooting two points each time. As Norm told me after¬ 
wards, he knew that as long as he didn’t miss he wouldn’t be 
yanked. Gordon might argue with the play, but he’d be the last 
one to argue with two points in the basket. 

When he discussed scouting reports with us, every player on 
the opposing team was a potential All-American who was dan¬ 
gerous and was to be guarded closely. . . . And when he got to 
the best player on that team. Hank Luisetti, George Mikan, and 
Bob Cousy all came together in this one person. He did his best 
to keep us from becoming “overconfident.” 

His coaching emphasis was on defense, holding on to the ball, 
fundamentals, and thorough preparation in practice. Sophomores 
often didn’t see much action. Bob Reiss, for example, as a sopho¬ 
more, came into the Rutgers game in the third quarter and broke 
the game wide open with 12 points in a hurry. The next game 
he was back on the bench and saw little action for the rest oif 
the year. 

When the season was over, or when your “last season” v^as 
over, Gordon was always there ready to try to help in contacting 
a graduate school, in giving advice as to future plans and programs 
and keeping in touch with players and former players. He always 
liked to hear from you and was always ready to help with a letter, 
or a word to someone he knew. I’m sure I’m not the one to say 
how many “hidden” things he did or tried to do for his ball 
players. No one will ever know. 

So to Gordon, for myself and his baU players, “thanks. Coach.” 
We’re proud to have played under you. We’re proud to have been 
able to call you coach, teacher, and friend. 


Sports Ticker: 

Baseball Squad Opens Season 
With 7 Wins; Ties Lion Reeord 


By HOWARD LEVINE 
Director of Sports Information 
By opening its season with a seven game winning streak. 
Coach Johnny Balquist’s baseball varsity has matched the best 
early season record in Columbia’s diamond history. Thel916 varsity 
opened its season with seven straight victories but no other Light 
Blue team had accomplished this feat until this Spring. 

Other Lion teams in Spring intercollegiate competition seemed 
to have also caught the victory bug. Columbia’s much-heralded 
tennis team has started strongly with three victories in its first 
five matches, while the lightweight crew has won its opening race. 
The heavyweights, however, lost to a strong Rutgers shell — but 
only by four feet. The track team was also denied by Princeton 
in its first encounter and on the fairways the golfers have scored 
only two triumphs in their first seven matches. 


At recent locker room 
caucuses in University Hall 
the players on four of Colum¬ 
bia’s major winter sports var¬ 
sities have elected team cap¬ 
tains for the 1959-60 season. 

Richie Rodin, a six-foot- 
four-inch pre-law student 
from Queens Village, N.Y. is 
the new basketball captain. 
The fencers chose Frank 
Tuerkheimer of New York 
City; Swimming chose Ron 
Previ of the Bronx, N.Y.; and 
wrestling selected Phil Suraci 
of Teaneck, NJ. 



above playing on the University’s new quick-drying tennis courts, 
recently completed on the banks of the Harlem River adjacent 
to the Baker Field Stadium. The new courts replace those lost due 
to the construction of the College’s new student center Ferris 
Booth Hall. 


Nothing that happened on ^ 
Momingside Heights during the 
late lamented winter sports sea¬ 
son called for dancing in the 
Quad, but there were a few 
flashes of brilliance from Lion 
athletes. Undergraduates such 
as Steve Buchman, Joe Golden- 
berg and Dave Clark, among 
others, all made pleasant news 
for Columbia fans during the 
preceding months. 

These bright spots could not 
completely obscure the worst 
season in a glorious Columbia 
basketball tradition. The quintet 
won only three of twenty-four 
games but managed to match 
last season’s Ivy League record 
of 2-12. During the year the 
Lions lost 17 straight, a new 
low. 

Fencers Rank High 

The fencers finished strong¬ 
ly to reclaim some of their past 
glories. Although the dual-meet 
record was below the high 
standards the swordsman have 
established for themselves (it 
seems like anything below 1.000 
is bad in Columbia fencing), the 
DeKoff D^Artagnians finished 
ahead of all Ivy rivals in the 
Easterns and trailed only N.Y.U. 
and Navy. 

In the National Collegiate 
Championships the Lion swords¬ 
men did exceedingly well. They 
placed third again (again be¬ 
hind Navy and N.Y.U.)) and 
ahead of 25 other teams. The 
three-man team of epeeman 


Steve Buchmann, foilsman Ben 
Janowski and saberman Stewart 
Reuter won 63 and lost 13, an 
impressive .828 in gruelling na¬ 
tional competition. Buchman 
finished second with 21-5, Jan¬ 
owski fourth with 22-4, and 
Reuter third with 20-4. 

The most glittering swimming 
news was made by the fleet 


splashing of a small, modest 
sopohomore. Joe Goldenberg, of 
Paterson, N. J., kept closing in 
on the Columbia breaststroke 
and butterfly records all season. 
In the third-from-flnal meet, 
against powerful Harvard, he 
smashed the 24-year old 200- 
yard butterfly mark of Justin 
Callahan. Goldenberg’s 2.22.6 
was way below Callahan’s 2.25.5. 
Goldenberg capped his excellent 
first varsity season by placing 
fifth in the same event in the 
Eastern invitational champion¬ 
ships, the first Lion to place in 
years. 


“Operation Find The Sun^^ 
Helps Spring Teams 


The coaches of the three Lion varsities involved in 
“Operation Find The Sun,” a pre-season road trip to the 
South, concur that the opportunity they had to meet good 


competition “so early in th year”< 
will reisxat in better team per¬ 
formances in actual season play. 

Baseball coach John Balquist, 
whose varisity nine played the 
Marines at Qhantico and the 
Midshipmen at Annapolis, com¬ 
mented that “there is no sub¬ 
stitute for outside competition. 
Living and traveling on the road 
sure brought our team closer to¬ 
gether.” 

Also involved in the late March 
journey below the Mason-Dixon 
line were the tennis team, coach¬ 
ed by Archie Oldham, and the 
golfers under the tutelage of 
John Toner. 

The tennis team, although not 
at full strength, won two of the 
three matches completed (one 
was rained out). A highlight of 


the trip of the netmen was the 
dramatic windup of the final 
match against the Quantico Mar¬ 
ines. The score was tied at four 
matches each with the doubles 
team of Lloyd Moglen and Don 
Patterson down 2-4 in the crucial 
third set of the deciding match. 
The not-to-be-denied Lions 
swept the next four games to 
give Columbia a 5-4 triumph. 

The golfers played at the Hill 
and Dale Course in Baltimore 
(where they were joined by 
alumni Bob Norton and Bob Dy¬ 
er), the U.S. Naval Academy 
course, the Bethesda Country 
dub course and the Quantico 
Marine Oorp course and showed 
“great improvement” according 
to Coach Toiler. 


Clark, 34-7-1 

Improved efforts by Fred 
Storm, Cal Martin, Doug Chad¬ 
wick, Ron Previ, Frank Ran- 
ofer and diver Howard Petith 
helped the team to a respect¬ 
able 6-9-1 record. 

Dave Clark wound up a great 
mat career. The little (123 or 
130 pounder) Cheyenne, Wyo¬ 
ming dynamo iKxsted a regular- 
season record of 8-3-1 to give 
him a 4-year mark of 34-7-1. 
Clark was undefeated in his 
freshman and sophomore cam¬ 
paigns. 

The best of the winter fresh¬ 
man teams was the cub swords¬ 
men. Promise for a great fenc¬ 
ing team next year came from 
the 6-1 record they turned in. 
The cub wrestlers also did weU, 
winning seven of eleven meets 
while the freshman basket- 
bailers were 7-13 and the fresh¬ 
man swimmers 3-10.

A Jmirneyman Reports on the Maestro 


Faculty Should Have ‘‘Scanning” Function—Casey 


By HERBERT C. ROSENTHAL 38 
Professor William Casey is retiring. 

That’s not exactly surprising when you realize that it's 
almost twenty-five years since you entered his "Caseyology” 
class. You’ve forgotten quite a lot that went on in many of 
Columbia’s classrooms. But it’s surprising how much you 
can recall of Casey’s course. Perhaps that’s why Professor 
Casey was year after year voted the most stimulating and 
provocative teacher in the College. 

Do you remember some of those famous case histories 
that stimulated and amused you in class ? For instance, the 
Blank Truck Dealer case history? 

The Blank Truck Dealer operated in a small town up¬ 


state New York, where he was^ 
by far the most successful local 
business man. So every few 
years he was invited by thehigh 
school principal to deliver the 
commencement address. And he 
Invariably picked the topic, 
“How to get ahead in business.” 

Now, in reality, how did the 
Blank Truck dealer get ahead 
in business? Well, he did it by 
some effective, if not quite con¬ 
ventional techniques. He enter¬ 
tained lavishly ... he wasn’t 
above splitting commissions 
with a purchasing agent . . . 
he used every high powered 
method to make a sale. 

But when it came time for 
him to deliver his commence¬ 
ment address on “How to get 
ahead in business”, what tech¬ 
niques did the successful Blank 
Truck dealer recommend to the 
high school graduating class? 
Sobriety, honesty, hard work, 
living by the golden rule . . . 

And you remember the Long 
Island Commuter Case and the 
many other cases that made up 
the joy of Caseyology. 

You remember these case his¬ 
tories and much else about 
Casey fondly. You rememiber 
that he was teaching semantics 
and rearranging, blasting away 
at and loosening up your ste¬ 
reotypes years before Stuart 
Chase popularized the subject 
in “The Tyranny of Words”, 
and before Hayakawa’s book 
appeared. You learned tech¬ 
niques from Casey that you 
liked to think have made you 
a better citizen and a more 
analytic thinker—less prey to 
propaganda, big words and 
baloney. So before he leaves 
the Columbia campus you de¬ 
cide you’d like to see him once 
more and find out how the 
Casey of IQ-SQ has held up— 
compared to the Casey of the 
1980’s. 

Making a date with him over 
the telephone is easy. He’s 
kindly and courteous—just as 
you remember him. He even 
alleges cheerfully that he re¬ 
members you, although you 
were just another name in a 
one-term, large lecture class 
of his. 

As Sparkling As Ever 

When you get to see him, 
you are surprised at how well 
he has weathered the interven¬ 
ing years. Still tall and lean 


A frequent contributor to na¬ 
tional magazines, Mr. Rosen¬ 
thal is executive director of

presentation agency. At Co¬ 
lumbia, he was an editor of 
Jester and a member of Phi 
Beta Kappa. 


with that Bill Tilden-like phy¬ 
sique you remember so well. 
His hands still wave gracefully 
and animatedly. His voice runs 
the same expressive range from 
mimicry to irony. He’s older, 
certainly, but not in any de¬ 
teriorated way. Intellectually 
he seems as sparkling as ever. 

Of course, you ask him what 
his plans are. And you’re glad 
to see that after all these years 
he’s got it made. He’s looking 
forward to a schedule of spend¬ 
ing a third of the year on con¬ 
sultation work, a third of the 
year travelling in Europe, and 
a third of the year at his fa¬ 
mous summer place in Mexico, 
New York, (a town on the shore 
of Lake Ontario.) 

You ask him, tentatively, 
whether he ever did publish a 
sociology book—or is that on 
his agenda for the future. 

“Well, now you’re being very 
kind, to say that you think 
there’s anything I have to say 
that would make sense in a 
book”, he replies. I’ve always 
felt that no one can do a good 
job of teaching and writing at 
the same time. That’s why the 
English don at Oxford takes six 
months off regularly to write.” 

Long-awaited Oasey Book May 
Be Forthcoming 

“Now I’m not committing my¬ 
self, you understand,” he con¬ 
cludes. “But let’s say that I 
might finally get around now 
to doing that book.” 

“Well then, I guess this would 
be your first book since that 
one you wrote about art when 
you were just out of college,” 
you say to him. 

“You really have a long 
memory,” Professor Casey re¬ 
plies. And then he reminisces 
a little about the book—how 
he actually wrote it when he 
was eighteen years-old and a 
freshman at the University of 
Chicago (Incidentally, at the 
same time, he was writing 
themes at tm cents a word for 
fellow students In a freshman 
composition course. “Oh how 
I used to writhe”, Professor 
Casey says, when the instructor 
cut any words or phrases out 
of the themes he had ghost¬ 
written—since he got paid only 
for net wordage that survived!) 
But the art book grew out of 
a series of themes that he 
wrote on masterpieces of art. 
These themes were first issued 
as pamphlets and then brought 
together and published in book 
form. 

“I read the introduction 
again several years ago,” says 
Professor Casey. “And it really 
wasn’t bad. Perhaps as good an 
introduction on masterpieces of 



William C, Casey 


art as you can write when you 
have never actually seen a 
masterpiece of art. And the 
book had one very salutary ef¬ 
fect anyway. It brought me 
enough money so that I ac¬ 
tually was able to go and look 
at some masterpieces of art 
after that.” 

Views Function of American 

College Education Today 

From reminiscences the con¬ 
versation drifts gradually into 
a discussion of the function and 
effectiveness of American col¬ 
lege education today. And Pro¬ 
fessor Casey tells the story he 
has heard of the New York cor¬ 
respondent for one of the Rus¬ 
sian papers. This man, accord¬ 
ing to Professor Casey, was a 
bright student who didn’t come 
quicklyn into focus on what 
career he wanted to follow. 

“What did the Russian edu¬ 
cation system do about this 
bright young man?” asks Casey. 
“Did they push him out . . . 
insist that he get to work at 
some trade or another? No. 
They evidently saw potentiali¬ 
ties in him they had faith in, 
and let him stay and take 
courses in many fields leading 
to no specific higher degree. 
But the result was that they 
produced in the end a man 
whose broad range of interests 
and background makes him a 
very valuable reporter for his 
paper and his government 
today.” 

Explains Concept Of Scanner 
Mechanism 

And that gets Professor Casey 
talking about the concept of 
the university faculty as a 
'"scanner mechanism’*, 

“Take Oxford and Cam¬ 
bridge,” he says. “They are the 
real Ivy League colleges of 
course. The dons and tutors in 
Oxford and Cambridge are 
looking for judges in every law 
school student. They’re looking 
for the potentialities within 
every undergraduate. One of 
the schools produced seven suc¬ 


cessive Viceroys of India! 

“This system works efficiently 
and well to provide first rate, 
trained men for Britain. One 
of the most important reasons 
it does is that the value of the 
university faculty as a scanner 
mechanism is accepted and ap¬ 
preciated by all of British so¬ 
ciety—industry, civil service— 
even the political parties. 
That’s why even the British 
Labor Party, you may notice, 
has generally been led by a uni¬ 
versity graduate. Gaitskell to¬ 
day, Atlee before him. 

“Since the faculty of English 
universities know that their 
value as a scanner mechanism 
is appreciated, they are vigilant 
in their efforts. Everyone is 
looking for the viceroy—or to¬ 
day’s non-colonial equivalent. 
These British faculty members 
know they have the power and 
prestige to place capable and 
talented students in positions 
where they will benefit the or¬ 
ganization they join and per¬ 
haps their country in the larger 
sense.” 

Social Scientist Studied 
in Britain 

Listening to this, you realize 
that Professor Casey is still as 
enchanted as ever with British 
institutions. And this gets you 
to ask, “How come?” Was he 
ever in Britain, you want to 
know (holding your breath and 
trembling to think of what wull 
happen to your stereotypes 
about Casey if the answer is 
no.) 

“I wrote my doctoral thesis 
on the British Labor Party,” 
says Professor Casey. “To do 
that, I studied and taught at 
the London School of Econom¬ 
ics from 1924 to 1926. And then 
I went back for visits in 1930, 
1933 and 1936—until Hitler 
made visits to Europe an un¬ 
inviting prospect. 

“But in the days after World 
War I, when I was working on 
my doctorate, I had contact 
with a great group of men: 
Sidney Webb, Harold Laski, 


Tawney, Keynes. And they ac¬ 
cepted me as a colleague.” 

One of the great things about 
British and European scholar¬ 
ship, says Professor Casey, is its 
organization—very effectively— 
on the Guild system. This, of 
course, goes back to medieval 
organization. You have the 
maestro, the journeyman and 
the apprentice. The maestro, 
skilled in the field, teaches his 
craft to the apprentice. When 
the apprentice graduates to the 
journeyman rank, he goes out 
into the world, tests his know¬ 
ledge against actual events, 
feeds back this new informa¬ 
tion to the maestro who is thus 
able to keep his teaching in 
close touch with reality. 

Along with Professor Casey’s 
views on the role of the faculty, 
you naturally want to know 
how he feels about students 
today. 

European Scholarship on Guild 
System Basis 

“Oh Lord, you can make a 
lot of mistakes about students,” 
says Professor Casey. “One of 
my boys is a fellow named A1 
Rose who is Commissioner of 
Housing today in Chicago. And 
every time I get out there, I 
have a grand time with him. 
And he never fails to point out 
to me, says Professor Casey, 
“that I gave him a C.” (This 
makes you feel a little better 
—^because the best you can re¬ 
member getting from Professor 
Casey was a B minus, at a time 
when you were making the 
stretch run for Phi Beta 
Kappa.) 

“But as for the boys today,” 
says Professor Casey, “I think 
the last couple of classes have 
approached the golden age we 
had in the thirties and again 
in 1946-47. Those boys who 
came back from the war to fin¬ 
ish their education were the 
most thrilling group I ever had 
to work with. Their younger 
brothers in the year following 
seemed a little immature and 
below the standard. But in the 
last couple of years we’ve had 
another great crop of students 
to work with. 

“Back in the thirties and 
early forties, our placement 
system worked on a self-reg¬ 
ulating basis—^but with a lot of 
wast and inefficiency. Many of 
the good boys went into medi¬ 
cine and law, and did well 
there. But a good many of the 
liberal arts students in whom 
we saw fine potentialities—but 
who did not go on to graduate 
school—^just floundered around. 
And since the American univer¬ 
sity faculty is not looked upon 
as a scanner mechanism we 
had neither the prestige nor 
the influence to place these po¬ 
tentially valuable men. 

Discusses Relationship Between 
Faculty and Recruiters 

“Of course, some of us faculty 
members, as Individuals, built 
up a group of ex-students in 
positions of responsibility who 
would take on recent graduates 
on our recommendation. But 
there was not the organized 
relationship between faculty 
and recruiters that there is in 
the English university. 

“Of course, today, the eaa-

Evaluation of Students 
Termed More Exacting 

(Mr. Ireland, who has served as Director of Admissions of 
Columbia College, will undertake in the coming year a special 
assignment for the College Entrance Examination Board. He has 
served for twenty-five years as a member of the Columbia Admis¬ 
sions Office.) 

By Bernard P. Ireland, ’31 

The history of Columbia College admissions, as observed 
by the great majority of living alumni, began with the admin¬ 
istration of the late Adam Leroy Jones. Professor Jones, 
teaching philosophy with one« 
hand and running admissions 
with the other, earned a lasting 
reputation for his skill in both 
arts. During the twenty-five 
years since his death in 1934, the 
business of admitting students to 
the College has had its share of 
inevitable changes in the Uni¬ 
versity, changes which may be 
worth brief review here at the 
end of this busy quarter of a 
century, 

Bowles Questioned Criteria 

Perhaps the most important 
change in admissior^ policies of 
this period came about when 
Frank Bowles, Professor Jones’ 
successor, questioned the sanc¬ 
tity of the nation-wide custom 
of evaluating the worth of can¬ 
didates by the laborious counting 
of fifteen to seventeen Carnegie 
units of rigidly prescribed sub¬ 
ject matter. He convinced the 
College faculty of the soundness 
of the idea — revolutionary at 
the time, but now quite widely 
accepted — that we ought to for¬ 
get unit counting and try instead 
to decide whether the total prep¬ 
aration of candidates, however 
obtained, packaged and distrib¬ 
uted, qualified them to do a good 
job in the kind of work offered 
in the College. To be sure, we 
have continued to be more easily 
persuaded of the intellectual 
worth of those candidates who 
have presented good records of 
orthodox preparation in English, 
foreign language, mathematics, 
science and the social studies; 
but we have tried not to allow 
preoccupation with an orderly 
distribution of entrance units to 
keep us from detecting the oc¬ 
casional candidate of special 
promise among those present¬ 
ing unorthodox preparation. The 
result has been a flexibility which 
has been instrumental in im¬ 
proving the quality and tone of 
our student body and which has 
had an impact on admissions 
practices in many other institu¬ 
tions. 


the growing competition for 
available places, are at least 
spared the discomforts of sum¬ 
mer entrance examinations. 
Present-day applicants who do 
not complete the required ex¬ 
aminations by March miss the 
boat for the following Septem¬ 
ber; for our freshman classes 
are, by the first of June, chock- 
ablock with young men chosen 
from those who took the exam¬ 
inations in March or earlier. 

And what a contrast between 
the present physical facilities of 
the Office of Columbia College 
Admissions and those in which 
admissions activities were car¬ 
ried on by Dr. Jones, the late

Thorndike “Torlure” 

The Thorndike Intelligence Ex¬ 
amination, an instrument of tor¬ 
ture familiar to Columbians who 
applied in the years before 1940, 
gave way at about that time to 
the more refined inquisition of 
the Scholastic Aptitude Test and 
three Achievement Tests of the 
College Entrance Examination 
Board. Alumni of those earlier 
years will remember taking the 
Thorndike in June surrounded 
by gymnasium pillars and op¬ 
pressive heat. I mention the June 
date, surprisingly late by current 
entrance - examination - date 
standards, because it suggests 
how relatively relaxed and cas¬ 
ual were the admissions opera¬ 
tions of those days. Indeed, some 
members of the entering class 
each year took the Thorndike as 
late as September and found 
themselves ushered into the Col¬ 
lege at the last minute through 
the apparently closed gate. Cur¬ 
rent candidates while suffering 
in more important ways from 
tlie complexities growing out of 


of the Columbia administration 
and faculty traveled cross-coun¬ 
try to take part in a series of 
alumni forums sponsored by 
Barnard and Columbia Clubs in 
Chicago, Denver and Los Ang¬ 
eles. 

The “traveling foriuns,” a 
j oint Barnard-Oolumbia program, 
was started last Spring in Bos¬ 
ton. Similar programs are now 
being scheduled for alumni 
groups in other sections of the 
country in 1960. 

Tour Begins in Chicago 

This year’s tour began on May 
5 in Chicago. Before 250 mem¬ 
bers of the Barnard and Col¬ 
umbia Alumni Clubs of Chicago, 
Columbia University President 
Grayson Kirk moderated a for¬ 
um on the theme, “Tomorrow’s 
Challenge in Education; A Re¬ 
appraisal.” Participating in the 
forum were Mrs. Millicent Mc¬ 
Intosh, prerident of Barnard; 
Mark Van Doren, retiring Pro¬ 
fessor of English; and Ralph S. 
Halford, chairman of the de¬ 
partment of Chemistry. 

Preceding the forum there 
was also a meeting sponsored 
for secondary school principals, 
advisors and guidance officers. 

Denver Symposium 

On May 8, the two presidents 
joined Columbia College Dean 
John G. Palfrey in Denver for a 
dinner and symposiiiun sponsor¬ 
ed by the Columbia University 
Club of Colorado and the Uni¬ 
versity Women’s Club of Col¬ 
orado. Dr. Robert L. Stearns ’16L, 
former president of the Univer¬ 
sity of Colorado and currently 
president of the Boettcher Foun- 
diation moderated the forum. 

On May 10, in Los Angeles, Dr. 


in his honor by the Los Angeles 
Columbia Club, H. Henry Kim- 
ari ’25, president of the club, 
welcomed the Morningside group 
on behalf of 150 west coast al¬ 
umni. 

Program chairmen for the for¬ 
ums were: Arthur C. Farlow ’26 
and Mrs. John Flan din Kramer 
’49B (Chicago), Anthony F. 
Greco ’36 (Denver), and Samp¬ 
son M, Miller ’12 (Los Angeles). 

Upon his return to campus, 
Dean Palfrey viewed the trip as 
highly satisfactory. He specifi¬ 
cally noted the “important” 
progress being made by the vari¬ 
ous alumni clubs in nominating 
local high school graduates for 
Columbia College admission. 


Proffitt Elected 

Henry W. Proffitt ’19C ’21L, 
senior partner of the law 
firm of Thatcher, Proffitt, 
Prizer, Crawley and Wood, has 
been elected Counsel for the 
University. He succeeds the 
late Vermont Hatch ’16L, who 
died April 4. 

Mr. Proffitt was elected to 
a six-year term as an Alumni 
Trustee of the University in 
1955. Upon his election by the 
Trustees as Counsel he re¬ 
signed his trustee post. 

An Alumni Medalist in 1944, 
Mr. Proffitt is a trustee of 
Elmpire City Savings Bank, and 
a director of Ralli Brothers, 
Inc. 


Helps ’59 Set Record Fund 



Alan Gelb, Chairman of the Class of ’59 Fund Committee receives 
a contribution from Dean Palfrey. It was a welcome addition 
to the gifts of over 90% of the Class to the 8th Annual Columbia 
College Fund. Their gifts exceeded $3,100, almost double the pre¬ 
vious record gift of a Graduating Class. 


At Columbia’s 205th Commencement, Dr. Graj'son Kirk, 
President of the University, cautioned that “the time has 
come” for the American public and its educational leaders 
to repudiate “the widely preval¬ 
ent” acceptance of higher edu¬ 
cation as “a pleasant interlude 
between early adolescence and 
the responsibilities of maturity.” 

“Too long,” Dr. Kirk charged, 
“has American education at¬ 
tempted to co-exist with the 
popular belief that mediocre in- 
t-eliectual achievement is good 
enough, even preferable, be¬ 
cause it connotes a well-round¬ 
ed man.” 

“As the world grows .smaller,” 
Dr, Kirk stated, “men must grow 
larger.” 

Stresses Intellect 
The University’s president 
told Columbia’s 6500 newest al¬ 
umni that they should be pre¬ 
pared at all tinres to give first 
priority to their own intellectual 
development. He stressed the 
development of “a capacity for 
hard, sustained intellectual ef¬ 
fort . . . (and) an awareness of 
the achievements of other peo¬ 
ples of the past and preGent.” 

In a bright red academic robe, 
presented to him by India’s 
University of Delhi, the presi¬ 
dent spoke before an audience 
of over 10,000 in the New York 
Cathedral on June 2. 

Kirk at Class Day 
The previous day he had par¬ 
ticipated in the College’s tra¬ 
ditional Class Day ceremonies 
in Van Am Quadrangle. In the 
shadow of the statue of Alex¬ 
ander Hamilton, an early stu¬ 
dent in the College, the presi¬ 
dent and Columbia College Dean 
John G. Palfrey addressed an 
assemblage of alumni, parents 
and friends gathered to honor 
the “emergence” of the Class 
of 1959. 

Rain forced the commence¬ 
ment exercises indoors for the 
.first time since 1943.

COLUMBIA COLLEGE TODAY 


JULY, 1959 







FIVE ALUMNI were elected to the Association’s Standing Com¬ 
mittee at annual meeting. They are: (1 to r.) Dr. D. J. Fe’dman 
’34; T. C. Garfiel ’24: V. V. Zipris ’10; H. J. Kelly ’26 and (not 
shown) F. H. Bowles ’28. 


Thornton ’28 Reelected; 
Discusses Future Plans 

Randolph I. Thornton ’28, of Oakland, New Jesey has 
been elected to a second one-year term as president of the 
Association of Alumni of Columbia College. 

At last month’s annual meet¬ 


ing of the alumni group, Mr. 
Thornton reported that the As¬ 
sociation this year “has opened 
up various new areas of activity, 
while continuing the work it has 
been accomplishing over the 
years.” He emphasized, however, 
that “we have also been taking 
a good hard look at ourselves... 
and have concluded that some 
changes are necessary for furthur 
growth.” 

The Association president in¬ 
dicated that a special study group 
—the Committee on the Associa¬ 
tion of Alumni of Columbia Col¬ 
lege, under the chairmanship of 
Wayne Van Orman ’28—was cur¬ 
rently conducting an extensive 
analysis of alumni affairs and 
that, he believed, these delibera¬ 
tions would lead to important 
recommendations for “neccessary 
changes in our alumni structure.” 

Mr. Thornton stated that the 
Association’s program had 
reached a “certain plateau” and 
that furthur progress hinged on 
a clarification of the Associa¬ 
tion’s relationship to the Univer¬ 
sity and various alumni groups. 

Re-elected with Mr. Thornton 
were Thomas E. Monaghan ’31 
as vice-president, John C. 
Thomas, Jr. ’48 as secretary and 
John W. Fiske, Jr. ’29 as treasurer. 

In other action, live new mem¬ 


bers were elected to the Standing 
Committee, the Association’s 
chief governing body. Elected to 
three-year terms were Frank H. 
Bowles ’28, Daniel Feldman ’34 
Theodore C. Garfiel ’24 and Vir- 
ginius Victor Zipris ’10. Hugh J. 
Kelly ’26 was elected to the stand¬ 
ing Committee until 1961 to serve 
the remainder of the uncom¬ 
pleted term of Eric M. Javits ’52, 
who resigned because of pressure 
of business. 

In addition, four new Regional 
members have been elected to 
three year terms on the Standing 
Committee. They are: Leo N. 
Plein ’19 (Wash. D.C. area), Ger¬ 
hard E. Seidel ’39 (Chicago area), 
Sherwin P. Simmons ’52 (Deep 
South), and William F. Voelker 
’42 (Denver area). 

Mr. Thornton also stated that 
many high priority projects pro¬ 
posed by the Association have 
not as yet been implemented be¬ 
cause of “present financial limi¬ 
tations.” 

Specifically, he noted among 
these 1) the publication of a di¬ 
rectory of College alumni 2) the 
development of alumni activities 
in a number of areas all across 
the country 3) more extensive in¬ 
volvement in the College’s enroll¬ 
ment program, and 4) more fi¬ 
nancial support for COLUMBIA

1959 Alumni Medalists 


Bidder 


The Columbia Journalism Award for “sin¬ 
gular journalistic performance in the public 
interest” has been presented to Arthur Hays 
Sulzberger ’13, pubhsher of The New York 
Times, for his “devotion to the ideal of a press 
responsible to society;” his “leadership in the 
maintenance and growth of a great journalistic 
institution;” and his “recognition of tlie pub¬ 
lic’s right to know, whatever the hazards to 
the publisher.” 

The award, an inscribed bronze plaque, Sulzberger 
was presented to the Times publisher at a School of Journalism 
luncheon at the Men’s Faculty Club last month. Mr. Sulzberger 
became chairman of the board of directors, president and pub¬ 
lisher of the Times twenty-four years ago. He had been a Times 
executive since 1918. In 1957, he relinquished the presidency of 
the Times, but he retains his otlier posts. 

Mr. Sulzberger, who served as chairman of the bicentennial 
central committee during the year-long observance of Colum¬ 
bia’s 200th anniversary in 1954, retired this spring as a Trustee 
of the University. On May 4th, the Trustees designated him 
Trustee Emeritus and conferred upon him an honorary degree 
of Doctor of Laws. 

a Joseph E. Bidder '07, chairman of the board 
of Twin Coast Newspapers Inc. and Bidder 
Publications has been elected president of the 
North Shore Hospital on Long Island. A mem¬ 
ber of the hospital’s board of trustees since 
1949, Mr. Bidder is a resident of New Hyde 
Park, one of several communities that the 
hospital serves in Nassau County. 

In 1912, five years after his graduation from 
the College, Mr. Bidder organized the Inter¬ 
national Typesetting Machine Company and 
designed the still widely used Intertype composing machine. To¬ 
day, the corporations which he heads operate the Journal of 
Commerce in New York and nine other newspapers, four radio 
stations and two television stations in the mid-west and west 
coast. 

In recognition of his leadership in the development of the 
textile industry in South America, Carlos J. Echavarria ’24 has 
been awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws by the 
Philadelphia Textile Institute. The fifty-seven-yeax-old Colom¬ 
bian industrialist is president of Compania Colombiana de Tejidos, 
which employs 8,000 people in Colombia and is the country’s 
largest producer of cottons, woolens and synthetic fibers. At 
Columbia, “Ech,” as he was known to classmates, was quarterback 
of the Lion football varsity and a member of the Sachem Society.

In a Manhattan court early this month, a well-knowm under¬ 
world figure was convicted as the illegal “undercover” manager of 
a leading professional welterwight boxer in New York State. The 
conviction, viewed as a major victory against racketeering in pro¬ 
fessional boxing, was obtained by New York County Assistant 
District Attorney John G. Bonomi ’47. Curiously enough, the young 
prosecutor, who was hailed by trial Judge John T. Mullen for his 
“brilliant presentation of the evidence” is a former Columbia box¬ 
ing champion. As a member of the Backets Bureau, the Class of 
'947 president has figured prominently in the recent indictment 
of Frankie Carbo for undercover boxing activities and prizefight- 
fixing.

Richard SUbert ’33 has been elected presi¬ 
dent of the Community Developers Council 

of Long Island, an oorganization of home build¬ 
ers. In association with his brother Leon, a 
fellow member of the Class of 1933, the Great 
Neck attorney has built 1,800 homes and apart¬ 
ment on Long Island since World War II. A 
graduate of the Columbia Law School and an 
off-hours sculptor, Mr. Silbert is currently 
building Richlee at Huntington, L.I., and 

Flower Estates at Norwalk, Connecticut. His Silbert 
son Michael will enter the College in the fall as a member of 
the Class of 1963.

Solemn Memories, Fnn 


Class of ’59 
and Farewell 


IN THE FIRST commencement exercises ever held in New York Cathedral (St. John the Divine) 6531 degrees in 
course and ten honorary degrees were awarded during the impressive ceremony concluding the 205th academic 
year; 593 of the degree recipients were from the College. Not since 1943, when the exercises were held in the gym¬ 
nasium, had rain prevented the traditional outdoor ceremony. 


Commencement Quotes 


C. Douglas Dillon, Unclersecretary of .Slate, 
at School of Business 

“The Communists have openly named the eco¬ 
nomically weak areas of the free world as major 
targets in their campaign to undermine the West ... 
Whether or not they succeed (in capturing the un¬ 
derdeveloped countries of Asia, Africa, the Middle 
East, and Latin America) will be determined, not 
only by our actions as a Government, but also, and 
to an important extent, by the role played by pri¬ 
vate enterprise in furthering our country's foreign 
policy in the underdeveloped world.” 

President Kirk at Commencement 
. . Too long has American education attempted 
to co-exist with the popular belief that mediocre 
intellectual achievement is good enough, even pref¬ 
erable, because it connotes a well-rounded man. Too 
long has the “Gentleman’s C” been tolerated be¬ 
cause it can be gained without undue interference 
with social and athletic activities outside the class¬ 
room. Such an attitude can result in down-grading 
the cultivation of the mind to a secondary status.” 


Barnaby C. Keeney, President of Brown Univer¬ 
sity at the Alumni Federation 
(commencement Day Luncheon 
“The free inquiry of a community of scholars 
ranging from the very young to the very old may be 
aimless in appearance; indeed it sometimes seems 
aimless corporately; but the labors of the individuals 
are not aimless and, though most of us fail, those 
who succeed are the people on whom we depend 
not just for national survival, but for progress in the 
long struggle of man toward—but not to — perfec¬ 
tion.” 

Dean John G. Palfrey at Class Day 
. . (liberal) education aims to provide a flex¬ 
ible but coherent way for students to prepare for a 
variety of futures, however specialized, by a dis¬ 
ciplined introduction to the arts and sciences, but 
with a dominant concern for what makes man man. 
Such an education, if it is to succeed, both assumes 
and cultivates what Justice Holmes has called a 
passionate curiosity and passionate awe in the face 
of the immensities of the universe.” 



ACADEMIC PROCESSION: Dr. Moses Hadas, Jay Profes 
of Greek, who directed the formal graduation exercises, h 
leads members of College faculty from Hamilton Hall 
Class Day exercises. In view', also, are Dr. Rudolph H. V^e 
gartner and Prof. James P. Shenton ’49 (r.). 



COY GOBBLE of Toronto, Ohio, football captain, Mrs. G 
ble, and early applicant for Class of ’81 await Class ] 
exercises (above); Jerome Shupack of Brooklyn,N.Y., (rij

THE EVENTS of Senior Week form a busy and pleasurable program to climax four years 
on Morningside. This year none was more popular than the Senior Prom, held in the rotunda of 
Low Library. Obviously the cameraman had no difficulty in catching a happy group. Other events 
included a boat ride, picnic, and a class dinner. According to class officers ’59 is well on its way 
to becoming an outstanding alumni class.

MAN OF THE YEAR: Robert M. Lovell, senior vice president of 
The Hanover Bank, is shown above receiving the Class of 1923 
“Man of the Year” award from his friend and associate Lester 
E. Lamb, (center) a fellow Hanover Bank vice president. Mr. 
Lovell, who has served as chairman of the Class of 1923 Col¬ 
lege Fund committee, was appointed last month to a second 
term on the Columbia College Council. Joseph P. Brennan ’23, 
chairman of the presentation dinner is at the right. 


We Record.. 

. . . with regret the death of the sons of Columbia College 
listed below . . . and offer our deep sympathy to the 
members of their families: 


1924 

Theodore C. Garfiel, 1430 Third 
Avenue, New York 28, N. Y., re¬ 
porting ... 

Seventy-one members of the 
Class of 1924 spent the week-end 
of May 15th at Arden House cele¬ 
brating the 35th Reunion of the 
Clasis. In addition twenty-eight 
wives and children were present 
for the Sunday festivities. Ox 
those attending, twenty-four 
men had not attended a reunion 
of the Class during the past fif- 
te'eii years or more. 

After a pleasantly informal 
dinner Friday evening the Class 
was treated to a fascinating re¬ 
cital by Bill OFFENHAUSER of 
his experiences in the search foi 
and the recording of ttie mating 
calls of the mosquito. The few 
who retired shortly therefter en¬ 
joyed the luxury of Arden House 
beds but missed tlxe several 
marathon Bridge, Poker and Bull 
sessions that went on and on 
and on. 

As is Class custom the formal 
program at the Annual Banquet 
Saturday night was limited to 
the presenting of the 1924 Award, 
The Award presented annually 
to a member of the Class “for 
outstanding service” was given 
to Ben EDELMAN whose untir¬ 
ing effort as Class Secretary for 
many years has been such an 
important element in keeping 
the Class united. 

As toastmaster, Frank HOGAN 
quoted with more levity than 
accuracy from the many letters 
and telegrams from classmates 
who could not be present 

At the opening of the Re¬ 
union’s business meeting the 
Class rose in respect to the 
memory of the twenty-eight 
members of the Class who had 
died since the last Reunion. The 
Memorial list was read by Morris 
WATKINS, the first President of 
the Class. 

After a short and rosy report 
by Jim ANDERSON the Class 
Treasurer, Dick FAIRBANKS. 
Class Chairman for the 8th Co¬ 
lumbia College Fund, outlined 
his plan for a 35th Anniversary 
Century Club with an accom¬ 
panying lapel pin for those con¬ 
tributing $100 or more to the 
Columbia College Fund. 

The next order of business was 
the election of Class Officers. 
After a report by Frank Hogan 
as chairman of the nominating 
committee the following were 
elected to serve for the next five 
years: 

President, Jim ANDERSON; 
Vice Presidents, Dave CX>RT, Ben 
EDELMAN, Ted GARFIEL, Bill 
WALKER; Treasurer, Paul 
SHAW; Secretary, George JAF- 
FIN; Recording Secretary, Dick 
FAIRBANKS. 

Following the business meet¬ 
ing the Class adjourned to the 
terrace where an official Class 
Reunion picture was taken. AD. 
members of the class at the re¬ 
union are to receive a copy of 


this picture as a gift from the 
Class.

Street, New York 5, N. Y., report¬ 
ing. .. 

The 1959 Spring Reunion was 
held on June 13th at the home 
of Ed and Ruth LYNCH. About 
forty classmates, with their 
wives, attended. 

1937

ing ... 

Hunter HAINES is still with 
the Grolier Society but now with 
its Chicago office. He lives in 
Northbrook “a typical suburban 
village” and has two children, 
Bill, twelve and Ann, eight. He

Street, New York 36, N. Y. re¬ 
porting. .. 

The Class of 1939 celebrated 
its 20th anniversary with cock¬ 
tails and a buffet at the Colum¬ 
bia University Club on May 15. 
Total attendance, wives includ¬ 
ed was 124. Jay-Ehret MA¬ 
HONEY was Chadirman of the 
committee which planned the 
affair. While most of those pres¬ 
ent were from the New York 
area — and most of the local 
M.D.’s were paged at least once 
— a sprinkling of distant class 
members showed up, too, includ¬ 
ing Edward BIELE of Seattle, 
Pierre KOLISCH of Portland,

he visited Moscow, Leningrad 
and Kiev. The trip was supported 
by a research grant from the So¬

and was in conjunction with the 
Columbia scholar’s recent doc¬ 
toral thesis on “the children’s 
theater in Russia.” 

Gene reports that he met so 
many Columbia teachers and 
students while traveling in Rus¬

George McKay, 75-18 Utopia 
Parkway, Flushing 66, N. Y. re¬ 
porting from Baker Field... 
Spring Reunion: Lying on my 
back here in the grass under the 
shading branches of a giant 
maple with every muscle pleas¬ 
antly aching fixxm my annual 
encounter with a softball and 
bat, I have a moment between 
draughts of keg beer to ponder 
w'^hy I am here. The children 
around me (4 MELNECHUKS, 3 
McKAYS, 2 BOTTJERS, 2 SAXES. 
2 SCHRAFFENBERGERS—many 
others swarming everywhere, 
climbing over the statue of the 
Columbia Lion and picking clover 
on the practice field) I have 
w'atched grow from a gleam in 
their father’s eye. In some cases 
from even farther back—from a 
gleam in their mother’s eye, 
when the ’48er in question 
thought he was just going out 
on dates, and didn’t realize he 
was courting a wife. 

I note that the new crop of 
first-children is a particularly 
bountiful one this year with a 
new CLAYTON, a new DAYTON, 
a new GERST and a new MAS- 
COTT—each one a carbon copy 
of the parents. I also note from 
where I sit that we may count 
on new babies again next year. 

A group of philosophers in¬ 
cluding BRAININ and SCHULZ 
are gathered around the beer 
keg, BOTTJER is going for more 
soda, LEVY is starting a game 
with a circle of tots squatting 
around him, SCHRAFFENBER- 
GER is taking color movies of 
MASCOTT drinking beer — now 
Mascott is taking movies of 
Levy taking movies of Mascott, 
and Marilyn Bottjer is getting 
her son out of a tree. 

As I munch my ham sandwich 
and think about a cold shower 
and the cocktail party which 
will follow in the Alumni Wing, 
I ponder why I am here. My im¬ 
mediate answer is that I am 
here because I was here last 
year and for the nine years be¬ 
fore that. But this is no answer. 
The real reason is that this an¬ 
nual ritual is a sort of stock tak¬ 
ing not so much of the others 
as of myself. When I look at the 
others I see mirror images of 
myself.

Celebrate 25th Reunion at Arden House 



This group is but a small portion of the members of the Class of 1934 (and wives) who spent the 
weekend of May 22-24 at Arden House celebrating their twenty-fifth anniversary of graduation. 
Others not available for this picture were engaged in the various recreation events planned by 
the Reunion Committee under the chairmanship of John Grady. It appears that the Class thought 
he did a fine job for they elected him President for the next five years.

IN EARLY MAY President Grayson Kirk and associates visited Alumni Clubs 
in a cross-country tour. In each case major dinners were held at which Uni¬ 
versity representatives discussed the future of higher education in this country. 
The group above met at the Beverly Hills Hotel on May 10. Immediately beneath 
the banner (1. to r.) are President Kirk; H. Henry Kimari '25, President of the Los 
Angeles Columbia Club and Sampson H. Miller '12, dinner chairman. 



HENVER H(^TS Temple H. Buell ’17 Arch, and Robert Berne ’38 were two of 
the Denver Columbia University Club members who welcomed the Momingside 
representatives. Mr. Buell entertained Dr. Kirk and his associates at a reception 
in his home, while Mr. Berne moderated an educational TV show with Mrs. 
McIntosh, Dr. Kirk and Dean Palfrey as panelists. 


PROFESSOR MARK VAN DOREN ex¬ 
changes greetings with alumni at a 
reception which preceeded the dinner 
sponsored by the Chicago Barnard and 
Columbia Clubs on May 5 at the Uni¬ 
versity Club. Dean Palfrey, President 
Millicent C. McIntosh of Barnard Col¬ 
lege and Professor of Chemistry Ralph 
Halford (partly hidden) shared in the 
receiving line and the panel discus¬ 
sion later.

Haxold Chadwick, Frank Bowles 
and Willet Eccles — to name 
those who, in addition to the 
author, have been, during some 
part of the last forty years, most 
intimately connected with Col¬ 
lege admissions! Thousands of 
alumni will remember, with an¬ 
noyance perhaps softened by 
nostalgia, the physical hazards 
they found it necessary to sur¬ 
vive in Room 322 University Hall 
in order to gain an audience with 
the College adanissions officer. 
Even though the freshman 
classes of those days numbered 
only about 450 students who were 
selected from about half the 
number of applications received 
in 1959, just the process of being 
sorted out by the receptionist 
from the milling throng of ap¬ 
plicants for admission to other 
divisions of the University was 
often harrowing. Those who were 
fortunate and hardy enough to 
live tiirough the sorting process 
found it necessary to carry on 
their conferences in crowded and 
noisy surroundings. When the 
wind was in the wrong quarter, 
as it seemed to be more often 
than not, the proceedings would 
be consecrated by a fine precipi¬ 
tation of coal dust which filtered 
through the most tightly closed 
windows as it fell from the 
smokestacks of the ferryboat 
known as University Hall. Some 
of you will recall how, in an at¬ 
tempt to circumvent the perils 
of the long registration-'period 
waiting lines, curb service was 
given from the windows on the 
south-east corner of the build¬ 
ing, from whence certificates of 
admission. Admission Credit Re¬ 
ports, and the like were dispensed 
with all of the dignity which 
accompanies the serving of hot 
dogs at a roadside drive-in. 

Move to 105 Low 

All this was changed in Octo¬ 
ber, 1955, when the Office of Col¬ 
umbia College Admissions was 
established in separate and rela¬ 
tively spacious quarters in Room 
105 Low Memorial Library. A 
generous gift from the Associa¬ 
tion of Alumni of Columbia Col¬ 
lege furnished the new office 
most atti-actively, proviffing sur¬ 
roundings in which applicants 
for the College are now received 
hi a manner which cannot fail 
to give them a more favorable 
impression of their introduction 
to Columbia than was formerly 
possible. 

Since the abandonment of the 
unit system of admissions men¬ 
tioned earlier, there have been 
no major changes in admission 
policies until, at a recent meet¬ 
ing of the Faculty, a resolution 
was passed altering the geogra¬ 
phical distribution formula on 
which we have been operating 
since the adoption of the Steeves 
Report of 1946. That Report ad¬ 
vocates; . a policy which 

should result in a student body 
composed approximately as fol¬ 
lows: one third from greater New 
York, one third from the metro¬ 
politan area within a fifty-mile 
radius and one third from more 
remote points. All these fractions 
to be slightly reduced to allow 
for students in foreign countries.” 

This policy was used by the 
Committee on Admission as a 
general guide, but not as a form¬ 
ula for which it felt impelled to 
provide the precise num'ber of 
students to fill the one-third 
suggested for each area at the 


expense of willfully admitting 
weak candidates. That the Com¬ 
mittee has not regarded itself as 
bound by the formula is shown 
by the fact that within the pres¬ 
ent student body the distribution 
is approximately forty-six per 
cent from New York City, twenty- 
two per cent from the fifty-mile 
radius, and thirty-two per cent 
from more distant places. Never¬ 
theless, after a recent Commit¬ 
tee on Instruction study of the 
possibility of improving our tech¬ 
niques for obtaining geographical 
diversity coupled with excellence. 
Dean Palfrey, speaking for the 
Committee on Instruction re- 
ix>rted to the faculty as follows: 

"It is the conclusion of the 
Committee that the area marked 
by the fifty-mile radius is no 
longer a meaningfully distinct en¬ 
tity in size or character that justi¬ 
fies its separation from the New 
York area. Moreover, efforts to 
approach the target quota for this 
area under the present system 
may put outstanding candidates 
from the New York City area (or, 
potentially, from distant places) 
at an undesirable disadvantage. 
Students might be rejected on the 
basis of their comparative stand¬ 
ing among the other New York 
City applicants who would not be 
rejected on the basis of their com¬ 
parative standing among appli¬ 
cants in the fifty-mile radius. The 
same has been true in the past 
vis a vis the New Y'ork Cky can¬ 
didate and those from distant 
places, but the greater number of 
good students now applying from 
the latter category has largely 
eliminated this problem. . . . 

After hearing this statement, 
the Faculty passed the following 
resolution as stated by tlie Dean: 

"The Admissions policy of Col¬ 
umbia College shall continue to be 
guided by an aim to obtain a stu¬ 
dent body with the highest aca¬ 
demic standards to be drawn from 
a widely representative geographi¬ 
cal area. Heretofore, this policy 
has been expressed in part by the 
stated goal of obtaining a geogra¬ 
phic quota of 33% from New York 
City, 33% from outside the city 
but within a fifty-mile radius, and 
33% from distant places beyond 
those areas. The Committee on 
Instruction proposed that hence¬ 
forth the New York City and 
fifty-mile radius be considered as 
a single unit — the Greater New 
York area. No specific ratio be¬ 
tween the Greater New York area 
and more distant places will be 
estabished, at present.” 

It is hoped that the improve¬ 
ment in the quality of the stu¬ 
dent body which began to be 
pleasantly obvious two years ago 
will be accelerated by the adop¬ 
tion of the new formula. 

And what about the Class of 
1963? While it is too early to say 
with confidence what the fin¬ 
ished product will be like, the 
facts available in May indicate 
that in September we shall again 
be saying, with facts and figures 
to back up the contention: "This 
is the best class which has ever 
entered Columbia College.” Be¬ 
cause this refrain was used — 
and accurately, I think — to de¬ 
scribe both the classes of 1961 
and 1962, you should not be mis¬ 
led into thinking that it is one 
which is used as a matter of 
course each year. Indeed, I pre¬ 
dict that the tune is one you 
are likely to hear year after year 
as the rising tide of fine candi¬ 
dates, the growing strength of 
the College, and the renaissance 
of alumni cooperation combine to 
give us a widening opportunity 
to be selective. 

As this article is being written, 
the members of the Committee 
on Admissions are holding their 
c(^lective breath in anticipation 
of the late May responses to over 
1,250 offers of admission which 


have been broadcast through the 
town, the nation and the world. 
Our intention is to register the 
usual freshman class made up 
of 650 unusual young men. 

The SjOOO applicants for the 
class of 1963 have come to us 
from over 800 schools and repre¬ 
sent Increasingly broad and 
varied geography. For many 
years it was unusual, for exam¬ 
ple, for us to receive more than 
an application every year or so 
from such states as Arizona, 
Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, 
Nebraska, New Mexico, Georgia, 
North and South Carolina, Lou¬ 
isiana, Montana, Minnesota and 
Wyoming. This year however, we 
have received applications from 
each of these states and as many 
as nine or ten from some of 
them. The California, Indiana, 
Colorado, Idaho, Utah delega¬ 
tions which began about five 
years ago to grow in size and 
strength, seem to show further 
gains, while such states as Ohio, 
Pennsylvania, and Massachu¬ 
setts, whicdi have for many years 
sent us large and interesting 
groups of candidates, continue to 
do so. 

Although about 75% of our 
applications come from the pub¬ 
lic high schools, this year has 
seen a continuation of a gradual 
increase in the number of strong 
candidates from the better priv¬ 
ate schools. A spot check of ten 
of the best — including Andover, 
Exeter, Deerfield Academy and 
seven others of comparable 
standing — reveals that this 
group has sent us 75 applica¬ 
tions this year as opposed to 22 
in 1954. 

Praises Alumni 

Preliminary indications also 
give good reason to expect that 
the number and quality of the 
young men in the Class of 1968 
who have been widely active in 
the extra-curric\ilar life of their 
schools will compare favorably 
with the fine group of student 
leaders in the Class of ’62. 

I hope you will love tliis class 
in September as I do in May, 
to paraphrase an old song. If 
you do, you alumni should con¬ 
gratulate yourselves for an im¬ 
portant part of the achievement 
represented and look forward 
confidently to seeing the results 
of your labors in productive 
scholarship, in King’s Crown ac¬ 
tivities, on the athletic field and 
in outstanding service to the 
nation. 


college graduates. However, I 
think that one of the most in¬ 
teresting trends is that many 
of the good boys today are 
going into teaching. Now if we 
can also interest some of them 
in going into civil service, and 
raise it from the level of me¬ 
diocrity it has in the United 
States today, then we will have 
made a valuable step forward. 
I hope to see the day when 
public service in the U. S. has 
the same prestige and incen¬ 
tive as it has in England and 
on the Continent.” 

Still Has The Old Ideas And 
Lots of New Ideas 

So as the evening with Pro¬ 
fessor Casey draws to a close, 
you are glad to see that he still 
has the old fire and lots of new 
ideas. He has kept up. New 
names have come into his vo¬ 
cabulary since you were a stu¬ 
dent. Norbert Weiner and the 
Cyberneticians loom large in 
his thinking. Their theoretical 
writings on feed-back mechan¬ 
isms and other ways in which 
we gain knowledge and operate 
have come into his vocabulary. 

The syllabus he distributes 
today (yes, he still distributes 
a mimeographed one to his 
classes) probably looks a lot dif¬ 
ferent from the one you have 
in your trunk in the attic. And 
even the case histories have

ment of Columbia College,” is

demic year. 

Six Appointed to Cotmcil 
Dean Palfrey also announced 
that six new members have been 
appointed to four-year terms on 
the Council. They are: Millard 
J. Bloomer Jr. ’20, Benjamin J. 
Buttenwieser ’19, Richard G. 
Conried ’07, Dr. Ralph S. Hal¬ 
ford representing the faculty. 
David Heyman ’12, and Robert 
M. Lovell ’23. 

Members of the Council whose 


probably changed. But as far as 
you can tell, they stUl have the 
same old punch. You know, be¬ 
cause he told you one. It’s called 
the Savage Case. 

The Savage Case 

This case is coaicerned with a 
British girl who was questioned 
by Scotland Yard in comiection 
with some preceding. The House 
of Ctommons got wind of this — 
and got its wind up. Two weeks 
of debate ensued over the police 
action in appearing at the 
young girl’s place of business, 
going to the extreme length of 
taking her to a neighboring tea 
room for tea and questioning, 
and causing her to be an hour 
and a half late for dinner — 
without previously notifying 
her mother. 

"By God!” said a speaker in 
the House of Commons (ac¬ 
cording to Professor Casey), 
“we’ll have to put an end to 
these American third degree 
methods!” 

And they did — with a whole 
new set of rules coming out of 
an investigation by a Royal 
Commission. 

So you leave Professor Casey 
with a warm glow, knowing 
that he’s still the maestro. And 
your only regret is for those 
generations of young Columbia 
apprentices to come who will 
not be able to learn his tech¬ 
niques. Though you know that 
wherever he may be in the 
coming years, he’ll always wel¬ 
come feed-back reports from 
us — his journeymen.

The recent issue of the ’54 
Newsletter was apparently quite 
a success, if one can judge from 
the mail sent back in response. 
Most of the responses include a 
note on the newsletter, a ballot 
(for the election of ’54 Class Of¬ 
ficers) and a check for class 
dues—the latter most deeply ap¬ 
preciated by the fast dwindling 
treasury. 

The class officers for the next 
five years, incidentally, are Saul 
TURTELTAUB, President; 
Bernd BRBCHER and Tom 
O’REILLY, Vice Presidents; 
Larry KOBRIN, Secretary; and 
Len M<XIHE, Treasurer. Len is 
also this year’s College Fund- 
Vice Chairman and Jack MC¬ 
GILL is Chairman. 

Among those responding in 
detail to the Newsletter appeal 
for personal information were 
Herb HAGERTY, now in the Of¬ 
fice of Naval IntelUgenoe who 
wrote of a Columbia College 
Club in Washington, D. C., in¬ 
cluding such members as Don 
CRABILL and Wolf HABER. An¬ 
other of our representatives in 
the military is Pete EHREN- 
HAFT who is the legal assistance 
officer at Stewart Air Force Base 
where, he says, he has a “thriv¬ 
ing if impecunious clientele.” He 
reports tha;t he completed a stint 
as the clerk of the United States 
Court of Appeals for the District 
of Columbia and adds that he 
was “succeeded there by Dave 
RUBIN and will be succeeded 
next year by Dick SALZMAN— 
how Columbia nepotism reigns.” 
Ed COWAN on a Washington 
beat for UPI adds that another 
of the class’ lawyers, Dave BAR¬ 
DIN is in the office of the Gen¬ 
eral Counsel of the Federal 
Power Commission. 

Another correspondent is Tony 
RESO who is a professor of geol¬ 
ogy at the Rice Institute in 
Houston, Texas.

ing ... 

We are happy to report that 
at this date news continues to 
roll in on the doings of members 
of the class. June was a big 
month for a/t least four members 
of the class who became newly¬ 
weds. Taking the plunge were 
Pete GRUENBERGER, Carl BRA- 
REN, Stan COHEN and Stan 
GOLDSMITH. While still on this 
romantic note we congratulate 
two of the newest fathei's in the 
class, Dick DUNLAVEY and Tom 
ETTINGER. Mothers and daugh¬ 
ters all well, fathers still a little 
pale. Dave BROWN and his wife 
Anne, both studying at Yale 
Divinity School, shall spend the 
summer ministering to four Con¬ 
gregational Churches in North 

Dakota. 


Iverson, Savini, Cohen, 


Monroe Set Sports Pace 

By Howard Levine, Director of Sports Information 


Even before Columbia’s base¬ 
ball players packed away their 
bats, the golfers their clubs, the 
tennis players their racquets, the 
track men their spikes and the 
oarsmen their oars, the staff of 
football coach Buff Donelli was 
laying the groundwork for the 
start of gridiron drill on Sept. 1 
at Camp Columbia. The cycle of 
intercollegiate athletics at Co¬ 
lumbia, a cycle which has been 
revolving busily since the mid- 
1800’s, continues with attention 
focused on the future. 

It’s been a spring which saw 
one Lion varsity finish above .500, 
one at the break-even point and 
one just below. A spring which 
saw approximately 150 under¬ 
graduates compete on six varsity 
teams and approximately 100 
more take part in five freshman 
programs. 

And a spring which saw a Co¬ 
lumbia undergraduate repeat as 
Metropolitan Intercollegiate Golf 
champion, which saw a Colum¬ 
bia undergraduate win the Col¬ 
lege’s first individual Heptagonal 
track championship since 1954 
and which saw a Lion sophomore 
baseball player finish a strong 
fourth in Eastern League bat¬ 
ting. 

The varsity which finished 
above .500 was Johnny Balquist’s 
mercurial baseball team. At press 
time of our last issue, the Bal- 
quistmen had won seven straight. 
Just to keep the Yankees com¬ 
pany they proceeded to lose their 
next seven. Fortunately they 


snapped out of their tailspin, 
won their last two and thus 
posted a 9-7 mark, the best since 
1956 and the second winning 
campaign in the last seven. 

The star of the team, without 
doubt, was a chvinky sophomore 
converted to centerfield from his 
natural shortstop position. Pow¬ 
erful Don Savini hit in every 
game but one, drove in 19 runs 
while batting .355 overall and 
produced a .448 conference mark. 
It placed Savini fourth this 
spring. 

The next most successful 
spring sport was the lightweight 
crew. It split even in its regular 
season inaces and then finished a 
strong fifth in the Eastern cham¬ 
pionship. The overall lightweight 
showing in the E.A.R.C, cham¬ 
pionship was the best any Co¬ 
lumbia crew has managed since 
the 1930’s. The junior varsity 
placed fourth and the fine light- 
w'eight freshman placed third. 

In track and golf it was indivi¬ 
dual achievements which pro¬ 
vided the brightest news. Jerry 
Monroe, a limber senior from 
Ogden, Utah, unfurled the best 
jump of his athletic life in the 
outdoor Heptagonal champion¬ 
ships and the result was a new 
Columbia record broad jump and 
a share of the Hep title. Monroe 
leaped 24-3 3/4. In the season¬ 
ending I.C.4-A. junior Don Cohen 
placed second in the high hur¬ 
dles. 

In golf, Jim Iverson blasted 
his way to his second Met Inter¬ 
collegiate title.
