TEACHER AT COLUMBIA
ASSISTANT Professor of History
./V Bernard W. Wishy has known
Columbia College as an undergradu¬
ate, graduate student, and faculty
member; his opinions of it are firm
and his illusions few. “Columbia Col¬
lege has been principally a pre-pro¬
fessional or pre-vocational school,” he
observes, “turning out, in all their
strengths and weakjiesses members of
the nation’s liberal middle class.”
He is generally pleased with the
effect Columbia has had on graduates
who have had professional careers.
“One disturbing aspect of our charac¬
ter,” he noted, “is that it tends to make
all students take their style as scholars
from the broad liberal arts approach
of pre-professional students. For those
who want to continue their education
as scholars, the liberal arts ideal some¬
times militates against proper prepa¬
ration for graduate work, which is
necessarily more specialized.”
His classroom approach is a reflec¬
tion of this attitude. When helping
a student choose a topic for a paper,
he insists that the student limit him¬
self to one specific aspect of the sub¬
ject, rather than a large general area,
so that he will get “some idea of what
scholarly work is.”
A committee he heads has just fin¬
ished a revision of the four volumes
of source and background readings
in Contemporary Civilization A, a
course required of all students and
usually taken in the freshman year.
“Ideally,” he states, “Contemporary
Civilization might establish a num¬
ber of issues and problems that college
work beyond the first year would
take up. I don’t think that the C.Ck
program is intrinsically opposed to
the development of scholarly habits,
but I do believe that its pace and
variety require the most careful teach¬
ing. Those vices inherent in the C.C.
course are much more infectious than
are those in some more conventional
courses. More than other courses, the
C.C. course stands or falls not by what
is in the books or on the assignment
sheet, but on what the instructor does
with those things. He can help turn
out glib and superficial people, or he
can impress upon students, in a very
strong way, the complexity and diffi¬
culty of issues, and the caution and
knowledge necessary just to clarify
what it is we are discussing.”
M uch has been said lately of the
proposal to increase the enroll¬
ment of the College to a possible four
thousand. This, and the related ques¬
tion of increasing the availability of
higher education throughout the na¬
tion, concern Professor Wishy. “No
matter how skeptical we are about
what we are likely to catch by casting
nets wider and deeper, we still have a
responsibility to fish better. We must
still ask ourselves: If the choice were
better education for the students we
now have, without expansion, or not
much better education for greater
numbers in the future, which should
we choose .i*

ABOUT YOUR MAGAZINE
This is the first issue in maga¬
zine format of a publication which
attempts to reflect and record the
campus and alumni life of Colum¬
bia College. As in the past, we
hope you, the alumni and friends
of Columbia College, will find
TODAY provocative reading and
will respond vigorously with con¬
tributions to our news and letters

Every year an addi¬
tional mile of shelf
space is required to
accommodate the
tens of thousands of
new books and peri¬
odicals in the Colum¬
bia Libraries’ collec¬
tion. Each semester
there are assembled
and catalogued new
knowledge, new investigation, new creation, more
history, more philosophy, more science—more pages.
Necessarily, the “whole man’s” inquiry becomes more
and more extensive; his reading lists grow longer and
longer and his opportunities for sleep rapidly di¬
minish.
Insomnia, once a feared affliction, is now to many
an academic necessity. The undergraduates’ class days
are punctuated by naps and snoozes and elongated by
No-doz, cold showers, pilgrimages to all-night coflee
shops, and early morning encounters with Reston,
Lippmann and Peanuts. The ideal roommate is one
who seems not to sleep at all—usually a Spectator
editor or a physics major. Such somnambulists are
sought after throughout Hartley and Livingston and
are notified whenever anyone has to get up before
dawn to read those 200 crucial pages of Finnegan s
Wake for Trilling.
The student at Columbia today encounters a curric¬
ulum that began to evolve over two hundred years ago
and one which continues to face expansion or revision
with every departmental meeting. The freshman at
the pre-revolutionary King’s College often devoted
his entire first year to reading Greek and Latin. His
present-day counterpart, however, finds at Columbia
College a broad general educational program which
readily enables him to survey a discipline—from He¬
rodotus to Hofstadter, from Leeuwenhoek to Leder-
berg, from Socrates to Santayana—before pursuing his
major field of specialization. Moreover, the newcomer
to Morningside soon discovers that the academic pro¬
gram which dominates College life is only part of what
Columbia considers “the complete educational experi¬
ence.” Upon his arrival the freshman is abruptly intro¬
duced to one of the major eccentricities of the place:
since Columbia is on an island, the authorities insist
that Alma Mater’s sons be thoroughly buoyant and

there is still time for contempla¬

If we may punctuate a 3000-year-old phrase, we would
give it this special reading to make a special point.
To know something yourself, not vicariously, not
at second hand, but by yourself — that’s one of the
deep pleasures for able people.
To know medicine yourself usually means that
you are a trained physician,- to know banking your¬
self, that you are a financier,- to know education, a
teacher or professor.
Most of us do know one field intimately, our own
field, our “earning field." But the eager-minded
among us want also to know something of many
other fields as well.
And that may be one reason so many able people
regard TIME as their indispensable ally.
For apart from "knowing, thyself," the next best
thing is to have an ally who knows those other fields,
and who reports to you week after week on every one.

The critical financial needs of higher education challenge both
individual and corporate citizens. Businessmen no longer question the
obligations —and opportunities—of Corporate Citizenship.
True, the primary purpose of a business enterprise is to provide
needed goods and services. Yet, in fulfilling that objective,
it is incumbent on business to go further. It should aim also to
strengthen and improve the economic, social and political climate in
which it and its people work and live.
However, business support of education can be measured against
an even more practical standard. Our free enterprise system can only
progress if it can draw constantly on new reserves of manpower.
It is just good common sense, aside from good citizenship,
to support the means that provide us with educated manpower.
No plant grows strong without root nourishment. In business, our roots
are people. We can continue to grow only by providing adequate
nourishment for our own roots.
The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company firmly believes in good
Corporate Citizenship. We feel that adequate educational opportunities
are good for our nation and good for our business. Furthermore,
we feel that the judicious use of corporate funds for the voluntary
support of higher education is a sound, intensively practical method
of serving our own best interests. Cooperating with countless other
businesses to provide the funds essential to educate those
who make up the business community, we at the same time insure
the future of our own company from the standpoint of educated
employees and informed customers.

INTERNATIONAL
RELATIONS
AT COLUMBIA
By DR. GRAYSON KIRK
President, Columbia University
L ast summer the Ford Foundation
^ announced that it had made a
grant to Columbia in the amount of
$5,500,000 to sustain and develop
teaching and research in international
relations. Of this total sum, the
amount of $3,000,000 is to be expended
over a ten-year period for the support
of our various institutes and activities
that deal with individual countries
(e.g., the Russian Institute) or specific
regions (e.g., the Near and Middle
East Institute). The remainder is to
be used over a five-year period for the
encouragement of work in other
fields, not geographically defined,
which bear upon international affairs.
A similar grant of approximately the
same size was made to Harvard and
a smaller one to Stanford.
This large grant points clearly to
the growing significance of this field
of study—and to the strong position
held by Columbia in it. It would be
unnecessary, even trite, to belabor the
point that our country is in great need
of more men who have become ex¬
perts in some part of this complex
field. Great harm has been done on
too many occasions by men who had
not been properly trained to under¬
stand even the language and still less
the history, the culture or the economy
of the countries with which they have
been obliged to deal. There was a
time in our country’s past when such
ignorance was unfortunate but not
vital, simply because the happenings
in such a large part of the world were
of no great significance to the course
of affairs in the United States. Today,
when we read for example, of the
perturbation in Washington over the
political trends and problems in Laos
and the Congo, we realize that there
is literally no corner of the world
about which our Government may
safely remain indifferent. Only prop¬
erly trained men can provide the
knowledge upon which policy de¬
cisions must be based. Only properly
trained men can undertake the nego¬
tiations with other governments
through which solutions can be found.
The era has passed when bumbling,
poorly educated men of good-will can
be effective representatives either of
government or business in interna¬
tional affairs. The furor over The
Ugly American exists because, with
all its exaggerations and caricature, it
contains a large kernel of painful and
dangerous truth.
As these career opportunities have
multiplied, and as the need for a
higher level of specialized training
has grown, Columbia has undertaken
to do all in its power to help solve the
manpower problem. Through the
general education courses in Colum¬
bia College, there is available to the
student at the outset of his career in
higher education an opportunity to
acquire a broad background which
is not limited to an awareness of
the European origins of our own cul¬
ture. Perhaps the most important
asset of such an experience is, or

of teaching science.
ought to be, a sense of perspec¬
tive, an ability to see ourselves as
others see us, a freedom from that
national egocentricity which is such
a doubtful asset in the world of today.
F or such intellectual growth, the
mastery of one major foreign lan¬
guage is essential. A language is more
than a tool; it is a key to the under¬
standing of a culture. Even though
most of us will never be able to learn
more than a single other language, we
will learn thereby to know and appre¬
ciate another society as we could never
do by reading even the best transla¬
tions of its literary classics. Such
knowledge is indispensable for the
achievement of perspective about the
outside world.
On the broad foundation of linguis¬
tic proficiency and general education,
the structure of specialized training
programs must be built. If these foun¬
dations are well laid, the task of sub¬
sequent specialized study becomes
easier, less time-consuming, and more
successful in results.
As the Ford grant indicates, the
university undertakes to provide two
different, but not mutually exclusive,
kinds of specialized instruction. One
provides competence with respect to
a country or a clearly defined geo¬
graphic region. At the time of the last
war, such area specialists were almost
nonexistent except for the familiar
region of Western Europe. Special¬
ized area training was almost un¬
known in our universities. The inevi¬
table improvisation in Washington
remains a painful memory to many
of us who were involved in it.
A FTER THE WAR, our Universities rec-
ognized that the need for such
training would continue to grow.
Therefore, those that were well-
equipped to do so, have developed
area programs of study and research.
Thus, and with Foundation aid, we
launched at Columbia the Russian
Institute, the East Asian Institute, and
the Near and Middle East Institute.
In addition, we developed new courses
and groups of courses dealing with
Latin America, Africa, and East Cen¬
tral Europe. These Institutes have
flourished. They have set high levels
of required student performance, and
their product, measured by profes¬
sional success of our graduates, has
been wholly satisfactory. Many Co¬
lumbia College graduates have stud¬
ied in the Institutes and have gone on
to successful professional experience.
Now, with the additional funds avail¬
able, our area work can be expanded,
and greater emphasis can be given to
new areas, particularly Africa.
The second type of training is ori¬
ented toward subject-matter. The tra¬
ditional fields of International Law,
International Organization, Interna¬
tional Politics, and International Eco¬
nomics have long been subjects of spe¬
cial emphasis in our curriculum. More
recently, attention has been given,
through the Parker School, to the
study of comparative legal systems.
T he School of International
Affairs was set up to provide a
two-year program for young men and
women who wished to combine this
field of specialization with a limited
amount of exposure to a selected re¬
gion. It, too, has been successful—as
measured by the experience of its
graduates—and it, too, has had many
students whose background was
gained in Columbia College.
Within the limits of available funds,
we now seek to expand training in
these fields, particularly by additional
study programs which cut across exist¬
ing departmental and faculty bound¬
aries. For example, the recently an¬
nounced International Fellows Pro¬
gram will bring a large group of care¬
fully-selected young men to Columbia
for a year of intensive study and will
employ the intellectual resources of
many of our departments, faculties
and institutes. The first group of these
Fellows is now here. In the future, it
is to be hoped that many graduates of
the College will be successful in being
admitted for such training.
A full analysis of all our activities
touching international affairs would
go far beyond the space limits of this
little article. But it should be clear
that the University—so fortunately
situated in the international capital
of the world—is making every effort—
and in the national interest—to capi¬
talize upon this asset and to build
soundly for the future.

A substantial stockholder in a closely held cor¬

intelligent planning during his lifetime and intelli¬
gent action afterward.
There may be the problem of continuing success¬
ful management of the company; or of establishing
a market for the stock.
The problem of liquidity, after his death, is apt
to be serious: Can ample cash be assured for taxes?
Or there may be a wide gap between the Gov¬
ernment’s valuation of his holdings, for estate tax
purposes, and his Executor’s ideas on the subject.
Most and probably all of these problems can be
worked out satisfactorily, if there is coordination
in advance among the owner, his attorney, and the
Trust Company. The outcome should not be left to
time and chance.

DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT
By ALVIN KASS
Mr. Kass graduated summa cum
laude from Columbia College in 1957
and received the Albert Marion Els-
berg Prize for excellence in modern
history. He has recently completed
his doctoral dissertation on "‘The Pre¬
lude to ]ac\sonian Democracy in New

David Truman
Professor of Government
W ho’s teaching? What are they
teaching? How? Why? What
is the relationship between instructor
and student? The answers to these
questions, significant in all depart¬
ments of a university, are particularly
urgent in regard to Columbia Col¬
lege’s Government department, which
focuses upon issues whose resolution
may well determine mankind’s des¬
tiny. For the world today is involved
in revolutions of science and tech¬
nology, in population explosion, in
the national awakening of Asia and
Africa, and in a cold-war contest
which put enormous strains upon the
human capacity to govern. It is the
primary effort of the department to
examine the institutions and processes
of government as these have devel¬
oped in the past and as they evolve
today, not only in the western world
but behind the Iron Curtain.
Columbia College’s Government
department, staffed with twenty au¬
thorities in the field of political sci¬
ence, includes scholars of world-wide
reputation. One of its most prominent
members is Professor David B. Tru¬
man, also chairman of the Depart¬
ment of Public Law and Government.
He is the author of two major studies
of American political institutions:
The Governmental Process (1951);
and The Congressional Party (1959).
Another notable member of the
department is Lawrence H. Chamber-
lain—Joseph L. Buttenwieser Profes¬
sor of Human Relations and former
Dean of Columbia College. Professor
Chamberlain came to Morningside
Heights in 1941 as an instructor in
government and received his Ph.D.
from Columbia four years later. He
served as assistant to the Director of
the Naval School of Military Govern¬
ment and Administration from 1942
to 1945, and was a member of the
International Secretariat at the first
conference of the United Nations at
San Francisco in 1945. He is the
author of President, Congress, and
Legislation (1946); American For¬
eign Policy (1948); and Loyalty and
Legislative Action (1951).
T he departmental representa¬
tive is Richard E. Neustadt, As¬
sociate Professor of Government.
Educated at the University of Cali¬
fornia and Harvard, his writings in¬
clude Presidential Power (1960). He
has had extensive government expe¬
rience including service in the Bureau
of the Budget and on President Tru¬
man’s White House staff. At present.
Professor Neustadt is a special advisor
to President-elect Kennedy on matters
of government organization, special
consultant to the Senate Subcom¬
mittee on National Policy Machinery,
and a member of the Advisory Board
of the Commission on Money and
Credit.
Outstanding in the department is
Associate Professor of Government,
Herbert A. Deane, who graduated
from Columbia College in 1942 as
class valedictorian, recipient of the
Green Prize, and an Evans Traveling
Fellow. After serving in the Navy
from 1942 to 1946, where he received
the Navy Commendation Medal, he
resumed his Graduate studies at
Columbia and received his doctorate
in 1953. He is author of The Political
Ideas of Harold f. LasJ^i.
The primary reason that such emi¬
nent political scientists continue to
teach on the undergraduate level ap¬
pears to be the department’s concen¬
trated effort for an increased contin¬
uity between College and Graduate
teaching programs. Numerous pro¬
fessors teaching on both levels include,
in addition to those mentioned pre¬
viously, Professor Alan F. Westin, an
expert on constitutional law; Profes¬
sor Samuel P. Huntington, an author¬
ity on national security; Professor
Zbigniew Brzezinski, a specialist on
Soviet affairs; Professor Wallace
Sayre, an authority on public admin¬
istration; Professor James W. Morley,
a scholar of the Oriental countries;

Professors Joseph A. Rothschild, Neal
N. Wood, and Warner R. Schilling.
O NE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT en¬
terprises this year, within the
Government department, has been
the new introductory course called
“Democracy and Dictatorship.” Its
purpose is to provide a broad introduc¬
tion to the entire range of work within
the department. The course focuses
upon the political systems of the
United States and the Soviet Union,
in an effort to highlight problems
common to all governments in the
Twentieth Century.
According to Professor Neustadt,
this course, which will remain at an
experimental level for three or four
years, will utilize different syllabi and
will present different professors each
year, in the department’s desire to
insure the most effective means of
meeting the needs and aims of the
students and the course itself.

institutions, political philosophy, and
international relations. Upper college
students are permitted to take specific
graduate courses where extra class
hours and special meetings are pro¬
vided to help the undergraduate stu¬
dent with his studies.
Since the Government department
realizes that a fundamental function
of the educational process is to meet
the needs of each student, it attempts
to stimulate and to encourage each
student interested in the field. In addi¬
tion to the small sizes of the classes
and seminars, an attempt is made to
identify potential government majors
as early as the sophomore year. There¬
after, the student meets periodically
with a departmental consultant and a
program of maximum benefit to his
subsequent development is planned.
In order to cultivate a more intimate
relationship between teacher and stu¬
dent, informal evening gatherings
have been scheduled at the homes of
Professor Neustadt and Professor
Truman. As a result, along with the
enjoyment of his host’s hospitality,
the student is given the opportunity
to discuss significant problems with
an eminent scholar within the field.
Another means of stimulating the
student is to encourage him to par¬
ticipate during his college years in
actual civic and political activities.
During the recent Presidential cam¬
paign, Professor Chamberlain spon¬
sored a three-week program, enabling
students to work in the campaigns
of the political parties.
In discussing the objectives of Co¬
lumbia College’s Government depart¬
ment, Professor Neustadt asserts that
they are “to orient liberal arts students
to the fundamental problems of gov¬
erning; and to approach the teaching
of government as a set of critical
dilemmas and critical social processes
with enormous relevance for contem¬
porary society.”
The realization of these goals de¬
pends upon the department’s re¬
sources, and these resources include
an outstanding faculty, a rich offering
of courses, a forward-looking attitude,
a perennially experimental posture, a
profound interest in the development
of each student’s potentialities, and an
attempt to bridge the gap between
the scholar and the man of affairs.
Perhaps humanity’s hopes for peace
and salvation may become more real¬
istic and attainable, for it may be from
an environment where problems of
government are studied with an aca¬
demic detachment that the truth and
moral commitment leading to achieve¬
ment are attained.

WORDS
FOR
SONGS
HE TALL, QUIET MAN had Spent a
lifetime in pursuit of words for
songs. He spoke in outbursts of ex¬
uberance and triumph, in declarations
of despair and protest, and in songs
of the beautiful, the wonderful and
the enchanted. He had been a man of
“concise eloquence” and a man who
had dreamed a tender dream.
On August 23, 1960 he died, and a
nation, still echoing his words,
mourned his death. He had enabled
many to see what he had seen, and he
had brought many to know what an¬
other poet has described as “the scope,
the intensities, and the order possible
in art and sometimes in life.”
Oscar Hammerstein, 2nd, was a
member of the Class of 1916 at Colum¬
bia College. He served as a member of
the Columbia College Council and in
1956 received the Alexander Hamilton
Medal along with his partner and
collaborator, Richard Rodgers, of the
Class of 1923. On that occasion he
recalled a memorable undergraduate
experience that, he believed, shaped
his life. “I was in the office of Carl
Van Doren,” the lyricist told his fel¬
low alumni, “and he asked me what
I intended to do after my graduation.
I told him that I was going to study
law. He made a face. I said, ‘What’s
the matter with that.i*’ He said, ‘Noth¬
ing, only I had an idea that you were
going to be a writer.’ He had guessed
the dearest secret in my heart, and
his guess was a kind of endorsement
of a wild dream. I left his office and
floated down Morningside Drive
filled with an ambition which now
seemed more possible than I had ever
believed it to be.”
In forty years on Broadway, Oscar
Hammerstein was a stage manager,
a director, producer and collaborator
with such composers as Jerome Kern,
Herbert Stothart, Sigmund Romberg,
Rudolf Friml and Vincent Youmans,
in addition to Richard Rodgers. His
first collaborators were Herman Axel¬
rod ’15 and Robert K. Lippmann ’19
with whom he wrote “Home James,”
the 1917 Columbia Varsity Show.
Through the years Mr. Hammerstein
publicly accepted responsibility for the
show and quoted from it often “to
reassure younger writers.” (“Know¬
ing how bad I was at one time,” Mr.
Hammerstein wrote in 1949, “I hope
that they will be encouraged.”)
In the American musical theatre,
Oscar Hammerstein was a champion
of those who dared to love, to trust,
and to have their own thoughts. He
seemed to hate nothing except insin¬
cerity. He was a grandfather as well
as a craftsman and an artist. And like
Henry Adams he yearned for and
worked for “a world that sensitive
and timid natures could regard with¬
out a shudder.”

"There is Still Time... ”
T he 9th Columbia college fund,
described by its General Chair¬
man Ralph T. Heymsfeld ’27 as “the
first Fund to face the needs of the
College realistically,” is entering its
final stage. “Extraordinary efforts,”
Mr. Heymsfeld stated, “will be called
upon during the next month to make
this campaign a success. “At this
point,” he noted, “the Fund can turn
over to the College only about one
third of what the College needs.
“This is not to be accepted as the
basis for discouragement,” Mr.
Heymsfeld emphasized. “Viewing
past experience,” he said, “a vigorous
alumni response is counted upon in
these critical last days of the cam¬
paign.
“This year,” Mr. Heymsfeld stated,
“the directors of the Fund have pre¬
sented the challenge to alumni and
friends of the College to join in the
preservation and strengthening of a
recognized standard of excellence in
higher education. Previous Funds,”
the chairman asserted, “have con¬
sistently set goals so conservative that
the proceeds failed to fulfill existing
needs and did not provide funds with
which to explore new areas of College
development. This year,” he said, “the
directors of the Fund, chaired by
Gavin K. MacBain ’32, decided that
the goal should not be based on a
pessimistic fatalism but should reflect
a creative and realistic optimism
which is itself characteristic of the
College. General purpose gifts of
$698,500, and special purpose gifts of
$185,500, are needed by the College
this year. That, therefore, is the goal
of the 9th Fund. It is that simple.”
Mr. Heymsfeld also noted that the
current campaign represented only
the first phase of the ten-year program
upon which the College has em¬
barked. “It is the objective over the
Ralph T. Heymsfeld ’27,
General Chairman
9th Annual Columbia College Fund
next ten years,” said Mr. Heymsfeld,
“to increase the proceeds of the
Fund to a minimum of one mil¬
lion dollars per year. This is what
must be provided if the College is
successfully to meet its responsibilities
to its students and faculty, to its
alumni, and to the society which it
serves.”
John Jay Associates Founded
A VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION haS
been established to help Colum¬
bia College expand her role in Amer¬
ican liberal education.
The new society, The John Jay As¬
sociates of Columbia College, is
named for the distinguished alumnus
of the Class of 1764 who was the
nation’s first Chief Judge. The Asso¬
ciates are alumni and friends of the
College who seek to assist it through
sizable financial aid.
“This core of distinguished alumni
and friends of the College,” Dean
John G. Palfrey noted, “has been es¬
tablished at a time when national cir¬
cumstances have produced a critical
turning point for Columbia as for
other great private institutions of
higher learning. To a large extent,”
the dean said, “Columbia College’s
continued growth as a pioneer and a
leader among American colleges will
depend on its ability to convey to its
alumni and friends a sense that it
deserves their support and that it
urgently needs their support. Particu¬
larly,” he added, “there must be cre¬
ated an awareness of the College’s
need for substantial assistance on a
regular and continuing basis.”
Jerome A. Newman ’17, is chair¬
man of the Committee of Sponsors of
the Associates. Other members of the
Committee are: Frank W. Demuth
’14, Benjamin J. Buttenwieser ’19,
Shepard L. Alexander ’21, Shepard S.
Silberblatt ’22, Richard Rodgers ’23,
John T. Cahill ’24, Theodore C. Gar-
fiel ’24, Ralph T. Heymsfeld ’27,
Harold F. McGuire ’27, and Gavin K.
MacBain ’32. Oscar Hammerstein 2nd
’16, who died on August 23,1960, was
also a member of the Committee. The
headquarters of the Associates are
located in the Columbia University
Club, 4 West 43rd Street, N.Y.C.
The present membership numbers
103 alumni and friends of the College.
“For the successful launching of the
Associates,” Dean Palfrey said, “a
great deal of credit and thanks should
go to the directors of the Fund, and
particularly to the chairman and his
fellow members of the Committee of
Sponsors of the Associates, for the fact
that this organization is now a going
enterprise.”

honored two classmates who are
distinguishing themselves in im¬
portant posts in University affairs
—Harold F. McGUIRE, recently
appointed an Alumni Trustee, and
Ralph T. HEYMSFELD, general
chairman of the 9th Columbia Col¬
lege Fimd.
The Class also noted with satis¬
faction the fact that it has three
of its members serving concurrently
on the Colmnbia College Council—
Messrs. McGuire and Heymsfeld,
and Robert S. CURTISS, presi¬
dent of the Class.
Mr. CmTiss announced the ap¬
pointment of Leo E. BROWN as
class chainnan of the 10th College
Fimd, and the Class gave a vote of
thanks to George FRENCH, who
had served in a similar capacity in
the last fom: campaigns. He also
announced that Robert E.
ROSENBERG, who had headed the
1960 FaU Reimion Committee, had
been selected as the 1960 "Guest of
Honor” of the New York League
of Locahty Mayors, and that Mr.

group had faced, and how more
than a year had been spent in work¬

arrangement with New York City.
Mr. Heymsfeld, who is first vice
president of the Class, stressed the
importance of continuing alumni
interest and activity to the future
development of Columbia.
In acknowledging the tribute
rendered him, Mr. Heymsfeld asked
his classmates for their continuing
support of the College and urged
them to keep themselves informed
on what is going on in the Columbia
College of today.
"The long range programs that
are being developed on the cam¬
pus," Mr. Heymsfeld noted, "are
in the direction of making Colum¬
bia a residential college. This means
enlarged facilities for student and
faculty living. It also means," he
emphasized, "substantial increases
in scholarship funds, student em¬
ployment opportunities and all
forms of student aid so that aU stu¬
dents will be provided with the
possibility of living on campus with¬
out regard to their financial means.
Mr. Heymsfeld said, "the exist¬
ing competition between nations
and cultures is a competition of
minds and human imagination.
That is why," he emphasized,
"thinking people have to put uni¬
versities at the top of the list of
activities which deserve whole¬
hearted effort and support."

TEACHER AT COLUMBIA
CONTINUED FROM INSIDE FRONT COVER
if it went hand in hand with improved
standards, although I believe much
of the talk of improved standards is
mere piety and comforting moralisms.
I don’t know where the time and the
money and energy are going to come
from to put our ideal to work effec¬
tively. Even the best teachers here
are loaded with work other than their
scholarship and teaching. If we want
to increase numbers and really raise
standards, teachers must consider
some withdrawal from the great
world in which many now move. We
cannot serve the general public as
much as we have in the last ten years
and maintain our standards too.
Something must go.”
ORN IN New York and educated
in the city schools. Professor
Wishy came to Columbia as an un¬
dergraduate in 1942 and was gradu¬
ated in the class of 1948. In 1949 he
attended Yale on Columbia’s Mitchell
Fellowship and received his M.A. in
Political Science. He was then award¬
ed a coveted Kellett Fellowship to
Oxford University by Columbia for
1949-51. There he studied Political
Philosophy and received the graduate
degree of B. Litt. He returned to
Morningside in 1951 to earn his doc¬
torate in American History.
In addition to his work on the C.C.
course, Professor Wishy is Secretary
of Phi Beta Kappa and Secretary for
Fellowship Information. He devotes
most of his time outside the classroom
to helping seniors plan for financing
their graduate study. He has also re¬
cently completed a revision of a two-
volume History of the American
People, of which Dean Emeritus
Harry Carman and Professor Harold
C. Syrett were the original authors.
Earlier this year he published Pref¬
aces to Liberty: Selected Writings of
fohn Stuart Mill.
Perhaps the best insight into both
the man and his work came from
Associate Professor of History Henry
F. Graff, who shares an office with
Professor Wishy on the seventh floor
of Hamilton Hall: “Columbia College
is a way of life for him.”

LIONS DEFEAT PENN,
BROWN AND CORNELL
THE LIONS ENDED their most encouraging Ivy season since the
formalization of the League with a 16-6 victory over Pennsylvania, last
year’s League champions. After dropping seventeen in a row, since 1937,
to the Philadelphia eleven, the Light Blue succeeded in stopping the decep¬
tive Red and Blue single wing offense on November 12 at Franklin Field.
The triumph, the Lions’ third in Ivy competition, gave coach Buff
Donelli his top victory total since succeeding Lou Little at the start of
the 1957 season.
In their two earlier wins, the Lions ran up easy victories over Brown
(37-0) and Cornell (44-6), both at Baker Field. Thus in two games they
scored just one less point than they did diming the entire 1959 season.
In other Ivy games, the Lion varsity lost a heartbreaking Homecoming
game to Harvard (8-7), and were defeated by Dartmouth (22-6), Yale
(30-8), and Princeton (49-0).
In a non-League home game against Holy Cross, after holding their
opponents to a 7-6 score at halftime, the Lions were overcome by superior
reserve power and bowed 27-6.
Tn the season’s finale at Baker Field, Columbia lost to Rutgers by the
score of 43-2, in a reversal of form from the Lions’ 1959 win of 26-16.
This year’s Rutgers eleven was coached by Dr. John Bateman ’38,
Columbia varsity guard in 1936 and 1937, and captain of the ’37 varsity.
From 1946 to 1956, Dr. Bateman was Columbia’s line coach. He was named
head coach at Rutgers last December after service as line coach at Pennsyl¬
vania under Steve Sebo.

A REPORT ON
PROGRESS AND
PROSPECTS OF
THE COLUMBIA
COLLEGE FUND
special' fund edition
Columbia College Today
What Your* Gifts
to the Fund
Have Accomplished
At the closing of the 9th Fund and the launching of the
10th, I would like to emphasize the decisive importance
of this program of annual giving to the College and the
extent to which the College has come to depend upon it.
Thanks to the leadership and effort of outstanding alumni
and of College Fund staff and to the generosity of those
who have responded, the program of annual giving, start¬
ing from scratch ten years ago, has grown to over half a
million dollars a year. It is a record to be proud of: one
which provides heartening evidence that the College is on
the move and that the alumni believe in its past, present,
and future.
If it had not been for this program of annual giving in
the 1950’s, the College today would not be able even to
hold its own in terms of strength and standing within
the University and outside, among its sister institutions.
Thanks in large measure to the Fund, I believe the Col¬
lege’s strength and standing are now measurably stronger.
For example, it has been the added scholarship money
supplied by the Fund that has made it possible for
Columbia to maintain a strong financial aid program,
comparable to those of other leading colleges in the East.
And it has been the reserve of discretionary funds that
has made it possible for the College to seize the initiative
in strengthening the position of its faculty, and to make
innovations and improvements in the educational program.
Furthermore, it was the additional support from the Fund
that made possible the recent enlargement of the second¬
ary school visiting program and of alumni participation in
attracting the best students to Columbia.
If the Fund in the 1960’s can take the next great jump
toward the million mark annually, its contribution to the
College development will be even more dramatic than it
was during the first decade of its existence.
Sincerely,
John G. Palfrey
Dean of Columbia College

Tlie Needs for* 1961
—a.ird Beyond
$10,000,000 in 10 years is the goal of the Columbia College Fund for the
1960’s. This may sound hke a lot of money-hut it’s really quite a modest
sum when compared to Columbia’s needs and to the amount contributed
by alumni of the other Ivy League institutions. To reach our goal, we’ll
soon have to be contributing at a rate of a million dollars a year-a big
step upward from our present level. When you consider your Alma
Mater’s needs as set forth below by the Dean-and bear in mind the
fact that even if you didn’t receive any formal scholarship aid, you still
had 60% of your own college education subsidized by Columbia—I am
sure you will make every effort to help us reach our goal.
C]:ia,ml3ei:*l£i.i]iL Fellows
Started by Dean Chamberlain, this
five year old program has used funds
to permit a selected number of prom¬
ising young instructors, now called
Chamberlain Fellows, to have a se¬
mester’s leave with full pay to pursue
scholarly research at a doctorate or
post-doctorate level.
Currieular Develop¬
ment Iimovations and improve¬
ments in courses and programs often
depend on the provision of initial sup¬
port to launch them on an experi¬
mental basis. Dean’s Office funds have
been used for this purpose for a given
academic year. If the undertaking
proved to be a success, it was there¬
after taken over as part of depart¬
mental planning in subsequent years.
Faculty Advancemcut
In the last few years, the College Fund
has been used to accelerate the ad¬
vancement and promotion of rising
members of the College faculty. De¬
partments would not otherwise have
been able to accomplish these promo¬
tions until a later date. With the
growth of the College Fund, it is
Sincerely,
Ted Garfiel, ’24
General Chairman
10th Fund
hoped that it will soon be possible to
establish, with this annual support, a
number of Collegiate Professorships as
special recognition of the performance
of outstanding University professors
teaching in the College.
Library Services Despite
the availability of Columbia’s vast
library resources, there are valuable
special services which could be pro¬
vided with support from the Fund.
These special services are connected
with developments in the College cur¬
riculum, such as advanced seminars
and courses involving faculty-super-
vised individual research. Added fa¬
cilities, books, records, and other
educational aids would enable the
students to make the most of the
opportunities provided.
Fin.£inci£i.l Aid Though we
have benefited from substantial allo¬
cations of University income, and
existing national and state scholar¬
ships, it has been the additional funds
from alumni and corporate gifts that
have enabled the College to maintain
a strong scholarship program in the
face of rising costs and rising tuition.
In aiding students, Columbia has
3
4
r
made a practice of combining scholar¬
ships with long-term, low-interest loans
and the “self help” factor of part-
time and summer employment.
In the area of self help, an innovation
this year has been the establishment
of a number of student job opportu¬
nities of an academic nature through a
“bursary fund.” Departments and col¬
lege faculty members have benefited
by various forms of assistance from
qualified students, who themselves
gain financial aid and academic bene¬
fit at the same time.
Recently the great increase in the
demand for loans has brought the
revolving loan fund close to the limit
of resources. Here is another area
where the College Fund could make
an important contribution in the
forthcoming years.
Advising: Students
Another recent development has been
the use of the College Fund to im¬
prove the variety of academic and per¬
sonal advisory services available to
the students. It has been possible to
expand the number of faculty advisors,
and thereby reduce the number of
students assigned to each faculty ad¬
visor. In addition, a number of trained
counselors have been appointed, with
the support of the Fund, to provide
additional guidance of a personal and
vocational nature.
Student Activities The
completion of Ferris Booth Hall has
opened up a range of possibilities for
new programs and undertakings in
existing and projected student activi¬
ties. Much more can be done with
many of the existing King’s Crown
activities in the improved physical set¬
ting and facilities. The opportunities
of the new center will be imaginatively
exploited by the students if there is
“seed money” available to assist them
in their most promising ventures.
Also, the mobilizing and challenging
concept of the Citizenship Center,
which inheres in many existing stu¬
dent activities and characterizes many
of the new undertakings, is at just the
stage where support from the College
Fund could provide tremendous impe¬
tus for the program.
Atliletics Annual giving to the
Fund is not designed to provide large
outlays for capital plant for athletics
or other student activities. However,
gifts made through the Fund will make
it possible to carry out needed improve¬
ments and innovations in the athletic
program.
Putolicatious There have been
a number of changes and improvements
in the publications relating to
Columbia College. In addition to the
transformation of “Columbia College
Today” into a magazine, the Fund has
made possible the publication of a
College newsletter to parents and
schools, special brochures for incoming
Freshmen, and a forthcoming revision
of the booklet, “About Columbia
College.”
Secondary Scliool Re¬
lations The establishment within
the Office of College Admissions of the
post of Director of Secondary School
Relations has led to a coordination of
school visiting and of alumni partici¬
pation in the search for talented
students. This is a search not only for
the students with high academic
records but for those who combine
intellectual ability with qualities of
personal leadership and of talent in
athletic and extracurricular activities.
A great increase in the numbers of
schools visited this year was carried
out with additional help from the
College Fund.

A WORD ABOUT JOHN JAY-
ONE OF COLUMBIA S
MOST DISTINGUISHED
7
o/he
EARLY ALUMNI
^ he year 1764, when John Jay graduated
from King’s College, marked the beginning
of a crucial decade in the history of the Brit¬
ish Empire. When the decade began the
province of New York was united in loyalty
to the new King, George III. As the decade
ended, respected leaders of public opinion
like Jay himself made the first moves which
would turn their loyalty into reluctant
rebellion.
None of this Jay could have foreseen when
he put away his college books and entered
the law office of Benjamin Kissam to prepare
for the bar. Assured by talents and connec¬
tions of a brilliant legal career, ambitious,
assertive, and not without a good measure of
self-esteem, young John Jay, in his wildest
imaginings, could scarcely have predicted for
himself a public career in which he was to
hold all the great posts of public service save
that of the Presidency in a new republic.
Conservative by temperament and associa¬
tions, Jay could never have guessed that he
was to become a Revolutionary leader in
New York, author of that state’s first constitu¬
tion, organizer of a secret intelligence system,
and Chief Justice of his state during the war
years. Nor could he have envisioned himself
in the role of President of the Continental
Congress, technically the first rebel of the
land, or entrusted with a major mission to
Spain, and, jointly with Franklin and John
Adams, with those negotiations that were to
lead to peace with Britain. Enthusiastic about
the law, he might well have been dismayed
at the thought that he would never practice it
again when the war was over, that he was to
become Secretary of Foreign Affairs during
the Confederation period, a co-author of the
Federalist papers, first chief justice of the
Supreme Court, negotiator in 1794 of “Jay’s
Treaty” with Great Britain, and, finally, a
two-term Governor of the State of New York.
In point of service to state and nation few if
any surpass Jay. Among Columbia’s Revolu¬
tionary alumni that include such giants as
Alexander Hamilton, Gouvemeur Morris, and
Robert R. Livingston, Jay is pre-eminent.
Jay’s life spanned a half dozen eras in colo¬
nial and early national history. When he was
bom King George’s War was being fought,
and he lived to see Andrew Jackson become
President of the United States. This excep¬
tionally full life—at eighty-four Jay was the
last of the members of the First Gontinental
Congress to die—was enriched by cherished
friendships, ennobled by unimpeachable
integrity, and distinguished by his advocacy
of advanced humanitarian causes, notably
that of Negro emancipation.

Pusli Fund to

Back in 1954, the General Electric Company added
an imaginative new feature to its program of Aid to
Education. Board Chairman Philip Reed said:
“If a college... is making the effort of soliciting
from its graduates, who are our employees, regular
contributions for ... higher education, then we will
undertake to make similar contributions ...”
This Matching Gift Program has by now spread
to over 100 companies. The First National City
Bank of New York City has even taken this a step
further - and makes a gift to colleges in behalf of
employee alumni, whether or not they contribute.
Corporate Giving via Alumni Programs reached
a new high for the Columbia College Fund in 1960.
But to get the full potential out of this program,
we’d like your cooperation. Will you please check
whether your Company is listed on the opposite
page — and in any event try to interest them in
matching your gift to the 10th Columbia College
Fund.

THE NEXT SIX YEARS
ARE THE PRESENT
OLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES must do more than they have yet done to
make the general public thoroughly familiar with their financial
problems and operations. They should explain simply and clearly why
they must have greatly increased resources if they are to do the job society
demands of them. To explain this is not easy. The organization and activi¬
ties of a modern university are enormously complex and they are imbed¬
ded in traditions which make rapid change difficult. Equally incumbent
upon academic administrators is the obligation to point out clearly and
boldly what additional support the institution must have in the near
future if it is to serve better the emerging needs of society.
In thus speaking out, a great private university asks no one for simple
charity. What it seeks is the means to do its share to protect and enhance
human welfare and civilization. A university exists solely to serve human¬
ity, to alleviate misery and suffering, to point the way toward the improve¬
ment of human life and the enlightenment of the human spirit. Its ends
are as broad as the world, as profound as the deepest aspirations that have
moved men throughout the ages in their struggle against ignorance and
prejudice.

A PROGRAM FOR
THE PRESENT; 1961-1967
P RESIDENT Kirk’s comprehensive report issued on April 9 describes in detail
the problems, activities and aims relating to the manifold operations of
instruction and physical plant which characterize a complex private university.
Columbia College Today is mentioning only the highlights of the 48-page
Report since each alumnus will be mailed a copy.
^The report revealed Columbia’s annual budget, which has steadily.increased
in recent years, to be $57,747,265 for the 1960 fiscal year.
^ The University’s total assets are listed at $262,072,412.
^ Construction amounting to slightly more than $25,000,000 is nearing com¬
pletion on the Morningside campus.
^ By 1967 the University will need $3,000,000 more per year than is now ex¬
pended in order to increase faculty salaries (see chart).
^ By 1967 $2,300,000 will be needed annually for aid to students.
By 1967 $600,000 will be needed annually for library support.
In all, an increase of nearly $6,000,000 beyond the current rate of expendi¬
ture will be required every year. (See chart for additional annual support re¬
quired. Note the Columbia College goal of $1,000,000—much the same goal set
by the Columbia College Fund of $10,000,000 to be raised in the 1960’s).
^1 By 1967 building costs will total $68,000,000. Of the total, $6,620,000 is for
renovation and remodeling of existing buildings. To date, $5,000,000 has been
contributed for buildings, leaving $63,000,000 still to be raised.
^ Principal buildings for Columbia College listed in the President’s Report
include a new gymnasium estimated to cost $8,000,000 and two new residence
halls estimated at $4,000,000 each.
In stating the case for a larger physical plant. President Kirk said that the
size of Columbia College would be increased from its present enrollment of

for more young men with the best possible education.
Dr. Kirk added that an enlarged Columbia College student body will also
require more library, classroom and laboratory space. “Committed as we are to
effective instruction through moderate-size classes (those numbering more than
forty students are unusual) expansion will be very expensive. But we count
upon the generous aid of those who share with us the conviction that we owe
it to the nation to do just this.”
In the concluding pages Dr. Kirk made clear that the Report from the Presi¬
dent was not the forerunner of a single two or three year high-pressure campaign
to reach a multi-million dollar goal. But, rather, as he explained, “Columbia
will maintain a program of continuous fund-raising throughout the foreseeable
future. We must and will appeal year after year to all our friends to help us
keep up, and enhance, the momentum of the present.” He added that the course
would be one involving “continuous activity on a wide front,” and that there
would be special campaigns for special purposes.
President Kirk stated the urgent need for a new gymnasium. “Generations
of College men have deplored the obsolete and inadequate facilities for physical
education available at Morningside. Now, through the cooperation of the city
government, we have the use of a playing field which we share with the com¬
munity, in Morningside Park, and we have plans for a splendid gymnasium
that is to rise on land not usable for park purposes and that is adjacent to the
playing field. A special gymnasium at the lower park level will be available
exclusively for community use throughout the year. The remainder of the
large and well-planned building, unconnected with the community gymnasium,
will provide for the physical education and recreational needs of Columbia
undergraduates for many years to come. It will house our Naval Reserve
Officers Training Corps activities and will provide handball and squash courts,
a modern swimming pool, an auxiliary gymnasium floor, and a main gymnasium
with a spectator seating capacity of three thousand persons.”
Planning for the new Gymnasium has been carried forward by a fourteen-
man Committee on the Columbia College Gymnasium, appointed by President
Kirk. The chairman is Harold F. McGuire ’27.

Design by Eggers and Higgins for proposed new Gymnasium.
A COMMENT FROM THE DEAN
Here is a graphic demonstration that the future of the University and
the future of the College are now inseparably joined in design and execu¬
tion. The College can and must stand out at the center of its University
surroundings while, at the same time, appreciating the fact that it would
be a minor college without them.
It is obvious that each part of the University has got work to do, and its
alumni and friends have support to give. The next six years will be de¬
cisive. The College will have a gymnasium; it will have imaginatively
reconstituted and enlarged residential facilities, classrooms, laboratories
and faculty offices. The great scholars and teachers in the faculties of the
arts and sciences will be teaching college students. In place of a huge
capital endowment, annual giving of a million dollars a year will give
the college the initiative and opportunity to bring this about and secure
as strong a student body as there is in the country. Columbia College will
do its job if it has the support of all of those who believe it is a job worth
doing.

Older Graduates Honor Dawson, Lee
"'Great Teacher Awards”
Presented at 51st Dinner
Dr. Charles R. Dawson, profes¬
sor of Chemistry, and Frank H.
Lee, professor of Graphics, re¬
ceived the annual “Great Teacher
Awards” of the University’s So¬
ciety of Older Graduates on Janu¬
ary 11 at the Fifty-first Annual
Dinner of the Society held at the
Columbia University Club.
The Society of Older Graduates
of Columbia, with a membership
of more than 700, is composed of
Columbia College and School of
Engineering graduates who re¬
ceived their degrees at least thirty
years ago and have continued to
give service to the University.
The citation accompanying the
award to Professor Dawson reads;
“Mastery of his discipline and
superb quality as a person join
to make this scholar distin¬
guished among his fellows. His
is the art of quiet and articulate
communication in classroom and
laboratory, and it is a two-way
communication in which the stu¬
dent quickly finds himself an
eager partner as new secrets of
chemistry are unlocked and
opened to investigation. Native
New Englander, trained first at
the University of New Hamp¬
shire, he completed his work for
the Ph.D. at Columbia, then
studied as a Cutting Fellow in
post-doctoral training at Cam¬
bridge University. For many
years he directed the pre-medi¬
cal advisory program in Colum¬
bia College, nurturing with wis¬
dom and understanding the
aspirations of those who sought
his counsel. Broad in his inter¬
ests, he has served long as ad¬
viser to the undergraduate ath¬
letic program. He represents
with distinction the concept of
liberal education to which our
College is devoted. He merits
richly our accolade of Great
Teacher.”
The citation accompanying the
award to Professor Lee reads:
“To his colleagues of the
CHARLES R. DAWSON
Faculty of Engineering, and to
his students, he is known as one
who gives of himself without
stint. His classroom in the De¬
partment of Graphics knows no
four walls; his days no limits of
time and effort. Of his students
he demands high proficiency;
and he can be a challenging task¬
master. But more than this, he
makes his course the gateway to
vistas from which young men
may early glimpse the wonders
of Engineering. He has ranged
far in building the Combined
Plan of the Engineering School
that now links to Morningside
half a hundred liberal arts col¬
leges. Consideration of the prob¬
lems and hopes of the individual,
however, has been the true mark
of this rugged Ohioan, whose
career at Columbia is now in its
fourth decade. To countless stu¬
dents who have been helped by
his deep and sensitive under¬
standing he will remain always a
memory of affection and regard.
With easy grace, with simplicity,
he carries forward the tradition
in which we honor him—that of
the Great Teacher.”

NOBEL PRIZE LAUREATES
A GALAXY of eleven Nobel Prize
laureates will assemble in the
stately Low Library Rotunda from
all parts of the United States on the
evening of April 11 with one thing
in common — Columbia University,
and particularly Columbia College.
The occasion for this historic gath¬
ering is the annual Alexander Hamil¬
ton Medal Dinner sponsored by the
Association of the Alumni of Colum¬
bia College. Over 500 alumni, faculty,
undergraduates, trustees and friends
are expected to attend.
Eight Nobel laureates are former
students or faculty members of Co¬
lumbia College and have been se¬
lected as recipients of the 1961 Alex¬
ander Hamilton award. In addition,
three other Nobel laureates on the
Columbia faculty have been invited to
be guests of honor at the dinner.
The Alexander Hamilton Medal,
established in 1947, is “awarded to an
alumnus or faculty member of Co¬
lumbia College for distinguished
service and accomplishment in any
field of human endeavor.” The award
of eight Hamilton Medals is a marked
departure from the award’s tradition.
Previously, the largest number con¬
ferred in any one year was two (see
box).
The Hamilton Dinner will high¬
light the University’s tradition in
Nobel Prize awards. Since 1906,
eighteen Columbia faculty members,
former faculty members, or alumni
have won the Nobel Prize. Among
the awards, there have been seven
prizes for Physics, six for Physiology
and Medicine, three for Chemistry,
and two for Peace. In a span of two
years, 1955-57, five Nobel Prizes were
awarded for work carried out at Co¬
lumbia.
The eight Hamilton Medal recipi¬
ents are:
1. Dr. Edward C. Kendall ’08, with
Dr. Philip S. Hench and Swiss Dr.
Tadeus Reichstein, won the Nobel
Prize for Medicine in 1950. Their
achievement consisted of discoveries
concerning the superarenal cortex hor¬
mones, their structure and biological
effects. Between 1930 and 1938, Dr.
Kendall isolated six hormones of the
adrenal cortex, one of which (corti¬
sone) was used with striking results
by Dr. Hench in the treatment of
rheumatoid arthritis. Dr. Kendall,
now visiting professor of Chemistry at
the James Forrestal Research Center,
Princeton University, was awarded
Columbia University’s Chandler
Medal in 1925. At that time Columbia
cited him for his work on the thyroid
hormone—“which has made up for
deficiencies in glandular secretions in
countless human beings and helped
them grow normal¬
ly.” Dr. Kendall is
noted at Columbia
for having earned
three degrees there
in three years. He
received his Bache¬
lor of Science degree

2. Dr. Polykarp Kusch, professor of
Physics at Columbia, frequently
teaches undergraduates at Columbia
College, including freshmen. In 1955,
he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics
with Dr. Willis E. Lamb, Jr. Dr.
Kusch was honored for the discovery
of a variation of the magnetic strength
of the electron from that which had
theretofore been believed to be the
magnetic strength. His work was said
to have “opened up new vistas for
scientists in the field of quantum elec¬
trodynamics and called for a reshap¬
ing of the basic principles of atomic
theory.” Dr. Kusch is currently chair¬
man of the Columbia Department of
Physics, a post he also previously held
from 1949 to 1952. Dr. Kusch became
associated with Columbia as an in¬
structor in 1937, after receiving his
Ph.D. from the University of Illinois.
He received his B.S. from Case Insti¬
tute of Technology and his M.S. from
the University of Illinois. He re¬
mained on the faculty until 1941 when
he went with the Westinghouse labo¬
ratory in Bloomfield, Pa. There he
worked on the development of micro-
wave vacuum tubes, important to
wartime achievements with radar. In
1942 he returned to
Columbia as a re¬
search associate on
a government-
financed project to
develop high-fre¬
quency oscillators.
Two years later he
joined the technical staff of the Bell
Telephone Laboratories to work on
vacuum tubes and microwave gener¬
ators. He rejoined Columbia in 1946
as an associate professor. He became
a full professor in 1949. The atomic
physicist is also known at Columbia

as a stimulating teacher, receiving the
“Great Teacher Award” from Colum¬
bia’s Society of Older Graduates in
1959. Professor Kusch’s field of re¬
search includes atomic, molecular and
nuclear physics. He is the author of
numerous articles for scientific jour¬
nals, a fellow of the American Physics
Society, and a member of the National
Academy of Sciences.
3. Dr. Willis E. Lamb, Jr., of Oxford
University, is currently a visiting pro¬
fessor of Physics at Columbia Uni¬
versity. One of the world’s foremost
theoretical and experimental physi¬
cists, Dr. Lamb shared the 1955 Nobel
Prize in Physics with Dr. Kusch. He
was cited for “his discoveries regard¬
ing the fine structure of the hydro¬
gen spectrum.” Although Dr. Lamb
and Dr. Kusch conducted their Nobel
work independently at Columbia,
their work was directed to similar
problems. The Royal Swedish Acad¬
emy of Science, which announced the
Nobel laureates, regarded their find¬
ings as “a major advance toward
learning what goes on inside the
atom.” Dr. Lamb was appointed an
instructor at Columbia in 1938, soon
after receiving his Ph.D. from the
University of California. From 1943
to 1952 he served on the staff of Co¬
lumbia’s well-known Radiation Lab¬
oratory, engaging in scientific work
sponsored by the Army Signal Corps
and the Office of Naval Research.
This was his introduction to experi¬
mental physics, and his experience
with magnetrons and sealed-off vac¬
uum tubes helped immeasurably in
his later scientific efforts. From 1943
to 1946 he was en¬
gaged in research on
radar and micro-
waves for the Office
of Scientific Re¬
search and Develop¬
ment. After World
War II he returned
to his peacetime research activities at
Columbia. In 1951 he joined the
faculty of Stanford University. He
has been professor of Theoretical
Physics at Oxford since 1956.
4. Dr. Joshua Lederberg ’44, at 33
years of age was one of three Ameri¬
can scientists to receive the 1958 Nobel
Prize in Medicine (the others were
Dr. G. W. Beadle and Dr. Edward L.
Tatum). Dr. Lederberg was honored
for work he started when he was a
student at Columbia—“for his discov¬
eries concerning genetic recombina¬
tion and the organization of genetic
material bacteria.” He entered Colum¬
bia College in 1941. When barely 19,
he was graduated in 1944 with honors
as a pre-medical major from Colum¬
bia College, was elected to Phi Beta
Kappa, and entered Columbia’s Col¬
lege of Physicians and Surgeons.
While a Columbia medical student,
he worked as a research assistant to
Professor Francis J. Ryan in the Uni¬
versity’s Department of Zoology. It
was during this period that Dr. Leder¬
berg conceived the idea of how to
make a critical test concerning genetic
recombination. He also helped con¬
duct several noteworthy experiments
on the mutation and adaptation of
Neurospora, or bread mold fungi.
After two years at
P. & S. he asked for
a leave of absence to
work with Tatum at
Yale. He received
the Ph.D. in Micro¬
biology at Yale in
1947, and never re¬
turned to medical school as a student.
Instead he accepted an appointment
in 1947 at the University of Wiscon¬
sin, where he rose from assistant pro¬
fessor to chairman of the Department
of Medical Genetics. He was ap¬
pointed to the Stanford faculty in 1959
and he is now executive head of the
Department of Genetics at the Stan¬
ford School of Medicine. At present
he is designing an apparatus that can
be landed on other planets and can
send back information on possible
plants, bacteria, viruses or other mi¬
croorganisms. Mars is the likeliest tar¬
get for the study of “Exobiology,”
Lederberg’s own term for extra-ter¬
restrial life.
5. Dr. Hermann J. Muller ’10, Dis¬
tinguished Service Professor of Zool¬
ogy at Indiana University, has been
called “the father of radiation genet¬
ics.” He was the first to prove that
radiation causes hereditary changes
in living cells, and for this work was
awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine
in 1946. He received his early training
at Columbia University, where he re¬
ceived the A.B. degree in 1910, the
M.A. degree in 1911, and the Ph.D.
degree in 1916. He was only 19 years
old when he graduated from Colum¬
bia College, and not quite 16 years of
age when he entered the College,
where he was a Cooper Hewitt
Scholar for three years. He was in¬
spired to take up his research by two
noted teachers at Columbia—Edmund
Beecher Wilson and Thomas Hunt
Morgan, the latter also later destined
to win a Nobel Prize. Morgan at that
time was already a noted biologist.
His famous “fruit fly” room at Co¬
lumbia was an attraction for not only
Muller but for three other young men
destined for greatness in this field—
Alfred H. Sturtevant, Calvin B.
Bridges and Edgar Alterburg. Rarely
did fate bring together such an in¬
spired scientist and teacher, such
gifted students, and such a research
opportunity so ripe for exploitation.
In astonishingly short order, Morgan

and his young associates nailed down
the chromosome theory of heredity,
first clearly stated in
1903 by Walter S.
Sutton, at that time
still a graduate stu¬
dent at Columbia
under Wilson. Thus,
in 1911, Dr. Muller
began his famous re¬
search work on the drosophilia, or
fruit fly. By tracing the inherited
characteristics of the flies through
many generations, he was able to
analyze the arrangement and method
of recombination of the heredity units
or genes. Muller for years has been a
leading spokesman for the geneticists
who believe that man has been too
indifferent to the possible harm to
future generations by carelessness to¬
day about radiations of all kinds, in¬
cluding atomic rays and x-rays. The
efforts of these men have brought a
gradual reduction in the amount of
radiation exposure officially allowed
atomic energy workers, and an in¬
creased caution in the use of x-rays.
6. Dr. John Howard Northrop ’12,
who received the Nobel Prize in
Chemistry in 1946, is one of the
world’s distinguished biological scien¬
tists. Professor Emeritus of Bacteriol¬
ogy and Biophysics and Research Bio¬
physicist in the Donner Laboratory at
the Berkeley campus of the University
of California, he received the Nobel
Prize for his important contribution
to the knowledge of enzymes. His re¬
search is regarded as having opened
up an important road to the investiga¬
tion of protein constitution and the
chemistry of digestion. Dr. Northrop,
like Drs. Kendall and Muller, earned
three degrees at Columbia University.
He received his B.S. degree from
Columbia College in 1912; his M.A.
degree from the University in 1913;
and the Ph.D. degree in 1915. His
father, John I.
Northrop, was a
member of Colum¬
bia’s Department of
Zoology. Young
Northrop majored
in Chemistry and
minored in Biology
at Columbia College. For three years,
from 1910 to 1913, he was a member
of the fencing team, which won the
intercollegiate championship in 1913.
After he received his doctorate, Co¬
lumbia awarded him a William Bay¬
ard Cutting Traveling Fellowship
which he used for study in the labora¬
tory of Biologist Jacques Loeb at the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re¬
search. He has been a full member
and professor of the Rockefeller In¬
stitute since 1924. Dr. Northrop first
won scientific honors when Colum¬
bia’s College of Physicians and Sur¬
geons awarded him its Stevens Prize
in 1930. Seven years later, in 1937, he
A RARE CASE . . .
A CHECK of Columbia College
Dean’s Oflfice records on one
Joshua Lederberg, of the Class of
’44, reveals this side light: "Mr.
Lederberg, because of his unusual
scientific equipment, was allowed
to take some of his undergraduate
work in an unusual order. When
the time came for him to com¬
plete his requirement in our Hu¬
manities course, it was felt foolish
to require a freshman course of
so superior an upper classman.
For this reason Mr. Lederberg was
allowed to take our Senior Semi¬
nar 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.”
was named recipient of Columbia’s
Chandler Medal. Dr. Northrop in re¬
cent years has been working on the
isolation and purification of the com¬
ponents which are effective in the
action of bacteriophage, viruses which
afflict bacteria.
7. Dr. 1.1. Rabi, is one of the world’s
leading authorities on nuclear phys¬
ics, quantum mechanics, magnetism,
and molecular beams. He received the
Nobel Prize in 1944 for the general
application of the resonance method
to a measurement of the magnetic
properties of atomic nuclei. After
graduating from Cornell University
in 1919, Dr. Rabi later came to
Columbia. He was awarded the
Ph.D. in Physics here in 1927. With
the aid of a Barnard Fellowship
from Columbia, and subsequently an
International Education Board Fel¬
lowship, he spent two years in Europe
studying with some of the world’s
_ outstanding scien-
tists. In 1929 he re-
^ ® turned to Columbia
as a lecturer in Phys¬
ics. He became an
assistant professor in
1930, an associate in
1935, and full profes¬
sor in 1937. In 1940 he joined a group
of physicists to set up the Radiation
Laboratory in Cambridge, Mass.
Their task was to develop radar for
military purposes. During this time
he also was a consultant for the Man¬
hattan District Atomic Energy Proj¬
ect. He returned to Columbia in 1945
as executive officer of the Physics De¬
partment, a post he held until 1949.
He was named Higgins Professor of
Physics in 1951. Dr. Rabi was awarded
the Medal for Merit by President
Truman in 1948. He was cited for his
war work as a “brilliant research
physicist” who “pushed forward fun¬
damental research in the field of
microwave radar with the result that
new wave lengths and new instru¬
ments were speedily developed and
perfected.” He was a member of Pres¬
ident Eisenhower’s Science Advisory
Committee and was Chairman of the
group in 1957.
8. Dr. Harold C. Urey, professor of
Chemistry at Large at the University
of California at La Jolla, is an inter-
nationally-known physical chemist.
From 1929 to 1934 he served as asso¬
ciate professor of Chemistry at Co¬
lumbia University, and from 1933 to
1936 was Ernest Kempton Adams
Fellow at Columbia. In December,
1931, it was disclosed that Dr. Urey,
together with Drs. George M. Murphy
and Ferdinand G. Brickwedde, had
discovered in the Columbia labora¬
tories the existence of “heavy water,”
in which the molecules consist of an
atom of oxygen and two atoms of
12
Columbia College Today
hydrogen or deuterium. The identifi¬
cation of deuterium has been termed
one of the foremost achievements of
modern science. For the discovery of
this heavy water isotope, Dr. Urey
was awarded the Nobel Prize for
Chemistry in 1934. That year he was
named a full professor of Chemistry
at Columbia and from 1939 to 1942 he
was executive officer of the Univer¬
sity’s Department of
Chemistry. When
World War II be¬
gan, Dr. Urey cru¬
cially influenced the
early history of
American atom
work. He was active
at Columbia in the diffusion process
for the separation of uranium isotopes.
From 1942 to 1945, he served Colum¬
bia as director of research for the
famed S.A.M. laboratories of the
Manhattan District Project. Dr. Urey,
who received his Ph.D. from the Uni¬
versity of California at Berkeley,
joined the University of California
faculty in 1958 where he was the first
to assume the unusual post of Uni¬
versity Professor at Large. Under the
terms of his appointment, he was
given the choice of campuses for his
residence, and he chose the La Jolla
campus where he is teaching chemis¬
try. He is also continuing to develop
techniques for estimating variations
in the earth’s climates through the
geological ages and conducting in¬
quiries into the chemical nature of
the origin of the Universe.
The three other Nobel laureates
on the Columbia faculty who have
been invited as guests of honor at
the dinner are not eligible for the
Hamilton Medal under terms of the
award which limits recipients to “for¬
mer Columbia College students or
faculty members.” They are:
Dr. Tsung Dao Lee, adjunct pro¬
fessor of physics, recipient of the
Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957.
Dr. Dickinson W. Richards, Lam¬
bert Professor of Medicine, recipient
of the Nobel Prize for Physiology and
Medicine in 1956.

science and the use of science to keep itself running.”

“Science: Sense or Nonsense”
“The dilemmas that beset Africa — population pressures,
political demands and the revolution of aspirations — cry out
for speed, but the lack of knowledge of rudimentary physical
problems and how to handle the very difficult and intransitant
African environment inhibits it.”
William A. Hance
“African Dynamics: Economic Aspects”
“It is not possible to take British, French, American, or
Belgian structures of government and say, regardless of the
background or cultural values involved, you go ahead as
Africans and operate it. It won’t work that way and we would
be disappointed with the result if we tried this. Nevertheless,
the African governments will be representative and they will
be popular governments.”

Columbia College enrollment
swelled on February 11 as over 600
alumni—accompanied by their wives,
children and friends—returned for the
15th Annual Dean’s Day. Ranging
from Africa to present literary ten¬
dencies, the 15 lectures delivered by
Columbia faculty members stimulated
many invigorating debates and ques¬
tions while simultaneously renewing
many nostalgic memories.
“The election of 1960 is a watershed because it has brought
into existence an America in which the old battles have been
largely won—the old battle of gaining the proposition that
socially we are equal. The new battle is going to be directed in
resolving what is true — that in America there is economic
inequality.
James Shenton
“The Election of 1960: Watershed of the 20th Century”
“Hardly any new writer that I can think of today is a joiner
. . . either of large organizations or of systems of thought.
A young writer wouldn’t be caught dead declaring his alle-
gience, as T. S. Eliot once did, to royalism in politics, classi¬
cism in literature, and Anglicanism in religion.”
Frederick Dupee
“Present Literary Tendencies”
“I see two apparently paradoxical developments in Western
civilization of the past few decades; (1) the marked increase
of specialization in our vocational lives and (2) the necessity
for bringing our influence as informed citizens, though neces¬
sarily as non-specialists, to bear upon problems of vital conse¬
quence to the preservation of our democratic heritage.”

DR. RABI vs. DEAN PALFREY
This dialogue on the liberal arts was
one of the highlights of a dinner pro¬
gram on "New Patterns in Educa¬
tion" sponsored by the University and
the Columbia Alumni Clubs of
Northern California in San Francisco
on December i, at the Hotel MarJ^
Hopkins. See page for additional
details.
Y REMARKS will bc directed
toward the future development
of our system of higher education,
that is, education beyond the secon¬
dary school. In doing so. I’m afraid
I’m going to provide a discordant
note. For I’m not a graduate of
Columbia College and, in a sense, I
never really went to college at all. My
undergraduate degree is a Bachelor of
Chemistry from Cornell—a degree by
the way that, like the DeSoto, has
been discontinued. My course at
Cornell included Freshman English
and, apart from that, nothing but
chemistry, mathematics, and physics.
It is in this sense that I can truly say
that I never went to college, certainly
not to a liberal arts college. This-^-as
you will see—has somewhat colored
my views.
You will understand, then, that
with this maverick kind of education,
my views will not be those of the
other members of the panel who are
exponents of the liberal arts college
and could hardly be otherwise. Since,
furthermore, they are chiefly con¬
cerned with undergraduate education,
my own remarks are addressed to the
evolution of graduate education, its
place in contemporary society, and
the implications of the increasing
demands for well-trained and well-
educated people in our school system,
industry, business, and government.
In the course of this century, edu¬
cation in America has made enormous
strides, not only in the number of
students attending institutions which
offer education beyond the secondary
school; but, even more, in the quality
of the educational opportunities of¬
fered by the better institutions of this
country. Whereas in the past we had
to import foreign scholars if we
wished to give instruction at the high¬
est levels of science, and in many
areas of humanistic learning, we are
now in the position to have quite an
export trade in scholars—if the price
were right.
This increase in the level of Ameri¬
can education is more than matched
by the demand for young people of
the highest attainments in natural and
social sciences and in other learning
and skills. Indeed, the time is fast ap¬
proaching when the graduate of the
standard liberal arts college will have
to have some years of graduate study
if he is to aspire to a position in edu¬
cation, government, or industry. The
liberal arts program is therefore not
a terminal program for any large
group of the population, except for
housewives. This is a fact which must
be faced, and the fact will have im¬
portant implications for our present
organization of a system of higher
education.
The future system must be an in¬
tegral one which will carry the stu¬
dent beyond the range of the four-year
college to a point where he has enough
knowledge of some one field to be at
home in its subject matter and in the
skills required for dealing with the
problems to which it is addressed.
And I’m now speaking not of prac¬
tical problems alone, but of the intel¬
lectual problems implicit in the sub¬
ject. The future system must also
repair one of the glaring deficiencies
of the present college system, namely,
its over-careful supervision of students
and the general process of spoonfeed¬
ing which inhibits the development
of initiative and independence which
are so important for the vigor of our
country and the health of our culture.
A NOTHER PROBLEM — the develop-
naent of the curricula in our best
secondary schools in the post-sputnik
era—has shown that it is feasible to
bring an important fraction of sec¬
ondary school students up to the point
where they have acquired a level of
knowledge equivalent to that of the
first year of college. This considera¬
tion, together with the previous ob¬
servations, suggests that the time has
come when one can seriously consider
an amalgamation of the college and

Columbia College Today
‘‘What Future for the Liberal Arts College?^’
P ROFESSOR Rabi has set in motion a
stimulating train of thought. But
its logical terminus, Fm afraid, would
be to eliminate me from the scene—
by eliminating my job as Dean of
Columbia College, by eliminating Co¬
lumbia College, and by sending all our
freshmen to graduate school. The
trouble is that he may be right. But,
not too surprisingly, I tend to see the
emerging possibilities for higher edu¬
cation in a somewhat different form.
There is no question that in recent
years there have been some belated
but heartening developments in
American education. The private
liberal arts college cannot take very
much credit for this; population pres¬
sures more than its own achievements
in the last decade have put it in a
position of strength. Leading colleges
have become highly selective, they no
longer have to take what they can get,
and they can encourage and demand
higher standards in the secondary
schools. For a combination of reasons,
the rigidity of the levels of achieve¬
ment and expectation, grade by grade,
hasl)een broken i.n the schools so that
special opportunities for the talented
student are now available, and all stu¬
dents can, according to their abilities,
start their college career sooner and
progress faster and further.
As a result there has been in recent
years a blurring of lines between the
secondary school, the college, and the
graduate school. In the Advanced
Placement Program, college credit is
given for college-level work completed
in high school. At Columbia College,
seniors can revive graduate credit for
graduate-level work completed in
college. Columbia has, moreover, a
number of special accelerated pro¬
grams, such as that in Chemistry,
leading to the Ph.D. degree within
six years after the start of the Fresh¬
man year.
To Dr. Rabi, this raising of the
levels of achievement suggests that
the time has come to consider the
amalgamation of the college and the
graduate school into one system, as
is done at European universities. In
my opinion, there is every reason to
take a hard look at the role of the
private liberal arts college as it has
evolved—as a uniquely American in¬
stitution of learning—but not to aban¬
don it lightly. Colleges should cer¬
tainly ask themselves whether they are
now in danger of becoming way sta¬
tions of learning—high schools at one
end and graduate schools at the other,
with the college experience squeezed
beyond recognition in between. I do
not think this is inevitable so long as
the colleges keep in mind their reasons
for being.
T he liberal arts college has long
claimed it has its own level of
instruction, of maturity and of rigor,
its own curriculum, its own set of
objectives, which, taken together, set
it apart both from secondary educa¬
tion and from graduate work. A col¬
lege is assumed to provide a level of
inquiry and analysis which should
demand an intellectual wrench to a
more advanced level of thinking,
imagination, and concept. It opens the
door to an immense range of intellec¬
tual experience in its general educa¬
tion courses. It provides a disciplined
introduction to an elected field of
learning. And when successful, the
college program has its own shape,
direction, and completeness, with a
senior year that provides a last clear
chance for a large, informed view of
what makes man, man. This assign¬
ment would not seem to be obsolete.
In short, what I’m really saying is
that the liberal arts can do what Dr.
Rabi seems to desire and at the same
time do something more. He seems to
think four years is too long. I doubt
it. President Kirk has in the past sug¬
gested—and here I am disagreeing
with everybody—that a trimester sys¬
tem can cover the same amount of
learning in three years rather than
four. I am reminded at this point of
another Columbia colleague, Profes¬
sor Halford, and his analogy to a
bottle of whiskey: drink it down all
at once, and you’re dead; drink it
somewhat more slowly, and your sys¬
tem can happily absorb the poison-
even benefit from it. My own hope-
analogies aside—is a somewhat dif¬
ferent one.
I think the time is coming when,
as the level of secondary education
rises, we will be presented with two
alternatives — or opportunities. The
first is to assume that what can be
done with a student before he is
JOHN G. PALFREY
eighteen, does in fact overlap what
can be done in college. If you accept
this as true, then you will believe
either that a student can go half-way
along the road to graduate school be¬
fore he begins college, or that, as Dr.
Rabi suggests, the liberal arts col¬
lege should be so transformed that it
will in effect be the primary grade of
a graduate university.
The second alternative is simply to
keep the college experience a discrete
interval of four years but to start the
experience sooner—at the age of six¬
teen rather than at eighteen. If this
alternative is accepted, the differences

NINTH FUND SETS RECORD
KIRK
GARFIEL
A SPIRIT OF OPTIMISM iiiid pride in Columbia College surged through the
Butler Room in the Columbia University Club on the evening of March 14
when nearly 300 alumni attended the launching of the 10th Annual Fund.
A standing-room-only crowd heard these highlights:
Ralph T. Heymsfeld ’27 announced
that the 9th Fund went over the half¬
million mark for the first time with
record contributions totalling $517,297
from 7449 donors (compared to
$465,640 contributed to the 8th Fund
by 7268 donors). Mr. Hemysfeld
pointed out that of this record-break¬
ing total raised for the 9th Fund
$308,945 was contributed for the Gen¬
eral Purposes of Columbia College,
compared to $240,497 contributed to
the 8th Fund, an increase of 22 per
cent.
President Grayson Kirk expressed
the view that Columbia College is the
core of the University and the Univer¬
sity is dedicated to the principle of
backing the College’s program of
“educational excellence.” He noted
the fact that the operating costs of
Columbia College are at an all-time
high. Tuition, fees, endowment and
investments at present cover only 68
per cent of what it costs to educate a
Columbia student, leaving the differ¬
ence to be made up by “you, the
alumni, and our other friends.” The
President indicated Columbia did not
“want to or expect to become a ward
of the government,” and added “vol¬
untary education can only continue
through voluntary support.”
Dean John G. Palfrey stressed the
great future for Columbia College and
the “magnitude of the task ahead.”
He indicated the decisive importance
of annual giving to the College and
the growing extent to which the Col¬
lege is depending on the Columbia
College Fund to maintain a faculty
and student body of the “highest qual¬
ity.” He also mentioned President
Kirk’s Report (see page 5) “which
shows how the College fits into the
University.” Dean Palfrey expressed
the view that the $8,000,000 capital
gifts campaign for the College Gym¬
nasium will serve as a focus for the
College’s entire development pro¬
gram. “Things are happening to the
College and to the alumni and we are
reaching the point where we can take
off to meet this double challenge of
an increased annual giving program
and the campaign for the Gym¬
nasium.”
Theodore C. Garfiel ’24 announced
that for the first time in any Fund
year, every Class Fund Chairman and
every member of the Fund’s Board
of Directors has made a pledge or
gift at the kickoff of the 10th Fund,
amounting to more than $50,000. He
called this a heartening beginning and
predicted that “the goal of $10,000,000
in the 1960’s will be met and sur¬
passed.”
Dean Palfrey presented Special
Awards to Mr. Heymsfeld, and to
Gavin K. MacBain ’32 chairman of
the 9th Fund’s Board of Directors;
and Lion Awards to Douglass New¬
man ’14, Nicholas M. McKnight ’21,
George S. French ’27, Louis L. Pettit

FERRIS BOOTH HALL
Columbia College Citizenship Center
F erris Booth Hall has been open for less than a year
but already it has become a place where the ancient
spirit of the college is finding new expression and new
dimension. It has enlarged rather than transplanted the
traditional college experience in the class rooms, residence
halls, in fraternities, and on the athletic field. It has added
quality and variety to college life. It is a center for or¬
ganized student activities with new cjuarters and new
outlets for fresh ideas. It is also a place where one can do
what one wants—hear music in the listening room, look
at an exhibition, or relax in the Lion’s Den.
Ferris Booth Hall has provided a place to enrich the
college experience and give it range. It has become a
center for new occasions, such as the immensely successful
Wednesday noon readings of poetry by members of the
Faculty. Last fall the building was filled to overflowing
for a university lecture by C. P. Snow. The next afternoon
a college student panel had the chance to meet with him
in the Wollman auditorium to ask him questions. In
February, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt was similarly heard
at a panel discussion as a prelude to a Faculty-Student
Tea. A few weeks ago Supreme Court Justice Tom
Clark gave a lecture on recent court decisions concern¬
ing loyalty.
The building has already provided the students with
the challenge and the opportunity to provide their own
definition of a citizenship program’ at Columbia. It is a
definition broad enough to include awareness of and ex¬
posure to the large issues of our time, as well as those
specifically concerned with responsibilities to one’s com¬
munity, great or small. These may include engagement
in the political process, conferences on the potential role
of students in under-developed countries, or programs to
teach talented but under-privileged children in nearby
schools in the Higher Horizons program. Or, it may con¬
sist of a kind of staffing program to arrange for existing
extra-curricular activities such as the Glee Club or the
Band to perform at a charity or a hospital.
Ferris Booth Hall has already started to become a center
where college students learn of the enormity, enjoyment,
and difficulty of the tasks in every community, and the
variety of possibilities and responsibilities in a free society.

The lobby and the stairway, where the portrait of Ferris Booth hangs, are
the center around which a kaleidoscopic variety of activities take place from
morning until midnight. Radiating out from the handsome lobby of Italian
and Vermont marble are entrances to several floors, each one vibrating with
its own particular sound of music, the echo of tumbling bowling pins, the
clatter of typewriters, or the hum of animated conversation
The second floor corri¬
dor is a constant change
of color and mood due
to handsome displays of
art and photograph ex¬

The ground floor in¬
cludes six bowling al¬
leys, a rifle range, bil¬
liard and table tennis
facilities, and two piano
practice rooms.
There are four separate music listening rooms on the second
floor of Ferris Booth HaU, including the Stereo Room.
The spacious Campus Lounge on the main floor is a favorite
gathering place for College students and their guests.
Wollman Auditorium is the focal point of Ferris Booth and the scene of frequent lectures and student discussions.
Handcarved Columbia emblems decorate the handsome new Lion’s Den which seats 230 and can be used for dances.

PRESIDENT JOHN KENNEDY NAMES
COLUMBIA EACULTY AND ALUMNI
H arvard Yard may hold the lead
in providing academic draftees
for the Kennedy administration, but
Morningside Heights is not far be¬
hind with the appointment of five
faculty and at least three College
alumni as “New Frontiersmen.”
This follows a long tradition of
Federal service by Columbia men—
from the early days of Alexander
Hamilton, Robert R. Livingston,
Gouverneur Morris and John Jay—to
the immediate pre-Kennedy admini¬
stration when Columbia’s president,
Dwight D. Eisenhower, left Morning-
side Heights for the White House.
Richard E. Neustadt, chairman
of Columbia College’s department of
Government, is one of President
is at work on the reorganization of
the Mutual Security Program.
Washington is nothing new for
Dr. Neustadt. After active duty as a
naval officer during World War II,
he served as assistant to the Director
of the Budget from 1946 to 1949. He
joined President Truman’s White
House staff in 1949 and for four
years served as special adviser to the
President on policy and administra¬
tive problems.
Professor Neustadt commutes be¬
tween Morningside Heights and
Washington and still teaches at
Columbia—coincidentally a course
called “The American Presidency.”
He told Newswee\, “You just have
to get away from the frantic environ-
problem of Cuba and how to deal
with any “export” of Castro-type
revolutions.
Professor Berle, now the senior
partner at Berle, Berle & Brunner,
has been in and out of government
affairs for many years. In 1938, he
served as Assistant Secretary of State
for Inter-American Affairs, and be¬
ginning in 1944, he took on the post
as Ambassador to Brazil.
A prolific author, he has written
numerous books on corporate finance
and related subjects, a notable ex-i
ample being The Twentieth Century
Capitalist Revolution.
William L. Cary, professor of Law,
returns to familiar territory when he
leaves Morningside Heights to be-

Kennedy’s chief advisers on the prob¬
lems of government structure, or¬
ganization and budget. According to
Newsweek^, “Neustadt is considered
by some Washington seers to have
more influence on the President than
any of his academic colleagues.”
Professor Neustadt, whose most
recent book is Presidential Power, the
Politics of Leadership, served as ad¬
viser to Senator Kennedy during the
1960 election campaign and during
the interregnum period between the
election and the inauguration. He is
responsible for drawing up the re¬
organization of the White House
staff and the organization plan for
the Food-for-Peace program and the
Kennedy Peace Corps. Currently he
ment of Washington to get a per¬
spective of what’s really going on.
Secondarily, the academic discipline
of the classroom enables me to see
things in a different light. Finally, I
just enjoy teaching.”
Adolf A. Berle, professor of Law
and former Assistant Secretary of
State, has been appointed chairman
of a new policy coordinating group
dealing with Latin American affairs.
According to the State Department,
the group’s aims will be directed at
economic and social development and
the “maintenance of peace.” Although
the operational scope of the task
force is not yet completely defined.
President Kennedy announced that
one serious matter under study is the
come chairman of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. He was an
attorney for the Commission from
1938 to 1940.
Professor Cary has been at Colum¬
bia since 1955, after teaching at the
Harvard Business School, the Univer¬
sity of California and Stanford Uni¬
versity. During World War II he
was a Marine major with the O.S.S.
in Romania and Yugoslavia.
From 1940 to 1942 he was with the
Department of Justice’s tax division
and in 1942 he was counsel to the
Office Coordinator of Inter-American
Affairs in Rio de Janeiro.

Richard N. Gardner, professor of
Law, has been appointed Deputy
Assistant Secretary of State for In¬
ternational Organization Affairs. He
will be on leave of absence from
Columbia beginning April 1, when
he assumes his new duties in Wash¬
ington.
In his new capacity Mr. Gardner
will help develop United States policy
in the United Nations and its spe¬
cialized agencies. Dr. Gardner will
also be concerned generally with the
international organization aspects of
such matters as economic aid, foreign
trade, disarmament, peaceful uses of
outer space and the judicial settlement
of international disputes.
The Bureau serves as the Washing¬
ton backstop for the U. S. Ambassador
to the United Nations, Adlai E.
Stevenson, and participates with other
bureaus of the State Department in
the management of multilateral
diplomacy.
Before coming to Columbia, Dr.
Gardner practiced law in New York
City. Previously he had taught at the
Harvard Law School. He is the
author of New Directions in U. S.
Foreign Economic Policy.
Judge Calvert Magruder, lecturer
in Law, and retired chief of the First
Circuit Court of Appeals, has been
named head of a special panel advis¬
ing President Kennedy on problems
of ethics and conflict of interest in the
government. According to the White
House, the panel has been asked to
recommend approaches to strengthen
the conflict of interest laws so as to
maintain the highest standards, while
at the same time not unduly impair¬
ing the effectiveness of agency and
department operation or the recruit¬
ment of qualified personnel. In
addition, the panel will advise the
President on what measures should
be taken in order to insure that all
activities of the Federal Government
are conducted consistent with the
highest possible standards of ethics.
Judge Magruder had his first
glimpse of Washington as law secre¬
tary to Associate Justice Louis D.
Brandeis in 1916. From 1919 to 1920
he served as an attorney for the U. S.
Shipping Board. He then entered
teaching at Harvard where he was
on the faculty until 1934. He served
as general counsel to the National
Labor Relations Board until 1938
when he took over the post of general
counsel to the Wage and Hour Divi¬

was appointed Judge of the U. S.
Circuit Court in 1939 and served in
this post until his retirement in 1958.

reorganizations and investment of
funds in selected enterprises. He was
a partner with Carl M. Loeb, Rhoades
and Company from 1933 to 1938.
After retirement from that firm in
1938, his principal activity was philan¬
thropic and concerned with plans for
the assistance of refugees from Ger¬
many and Austria.
In 1941 Mr. Linder was appointed
by the Secretary of War as an advisor
in respect to rapid amortization of
plant facilities of American companies
necessary for the national defense.
During World War II he served in
the U. S. Navy with the Bureau of
Ordnance and in the Secretary’s Office

background of experience in labor-
management relations to his new post
as Assistant Secretary of Labor, both
by virtue of his work in private indus¬
try and as a former member of the
National Labor Relations Board.
Mr. Reynolds became a member of
the New York Stock Exchange in
1934, after working in various Wall
Street offices for six years. He left
Wall Street for the United States Pipe
and Foundry Company in Bessemer,
Ala., where he served in various ca¬
pacities, including Director of Indus¬
trial Relations.
From 1943 to 1946 he was in the
U. S. Navy and during this time
served as advisor to the Under Secre¬
tary of the Navy on labor-manage¬
ment problems.
In 1946 Mr. Reynolds was appointed
by President Truman to a five-year
term on the National Labor Relations
Board. Shortly after being reap¬
pointed to a second term he resigned
from the Board to rejoin United
States Pipe and Foundry as vice
president in charge of Employee
Relations. In 1953 he became vice
president of Manufacturing Services
for ALGO Products, Inc., of Schenec¬
tady, N. Y., a post he held until his
Washington appointment. While at
ALCO he served as an employer-
representative on the New York State
Advisory Council on Employment
and Unemployment Insurance.
Harold Brown, ’45C, ’46 AM,
’49 Ph.D., was nominated by Presi¬
dent Kennedy on March 9 as the new
director of research and engineering
for the Department of Defense. Called
by The New Yor\ Times, “one of the
nation’s leading nuclear physicists,”
Dr. Brown has been director of the
University of California’s Lawrence
Radiation Laboratories at Livermore,
Calif.
The White House described Dr.
Brown as a specialist on “nuclear
physics, nuclear reactor design, nu¬
clear explosions and weapons sys¬
tems.” He has been an adviser to the
Defense Department and the White
House on scientific matters since
1958. He was also a scientific adviser
to the United States delegation at the
nuclear test ban talks in Geneva in
1958-59.
Dr. Brown was graduated from
Columbia College at 18 and received
his Ph.D. from the University when
he was 22. He was a lecturer and staff
member at Columbia from 1947 to
1950, when he left to become a staff
member of the Lawrence Radiation
Laboratory. Since 1952 he has worked
on nuclear explosives and weapons
systems and was one of the founders
of the Plowshare Program for re¬
search on peaceful uses of nuclear ex¬
plosions. Recently he has become
involved in problems of detecting
nuclear explosions in the atmosphere,
in space and underground. He has
participated in a number of studies of
problems of arms limitation and con¬
trol and has served as a member of
various scientific advisory committees.
Dr. Brown’s post at the Pentagon

fessor of Mathematics; Franklin
C, D. Reeve, assistant professor of
Russian Language and Literature;
and Joaquim M. Luttinger, profes¬
sor of Physics.
When the agreement was signed
it marked the first arrangement for
the exchange of scholars of profes¬
sorial rank between Russian and
American universities, although an
exchange of students between Rus¬
sian and United States institutions
of higher learning is now in its
third year.
Originally the exchange profes¬
sors were scheduled to spend four
months at the universities “for
purposes of acquainting themselves
with the research currently going
on, engage in their own research,
and participate in scholarly semi¬
nars, conferences and teaching.”
However, because of delays in com¬
pleting arrangements, it was neces¬
sary to reduce the time to five
weeks.
SCIENCE REQUIREMENT CHANGE
EFFECTIVE SPRING SEMESTER
The Committee on Instruction and
the Columbia College Faculty has
approved a modification of the sci¬
ence requirement, effective this
current spring semester.
Formerly a student was required

FUND DRIVE Joe Lane (left)
measures the Fund barometer, hop¬
ing to surpass this year’s $4500
goal. The scale indicates how many
student donations will provide fu¬
ture College students with scholar¬
ships and loans. To Lane’s left are
his active assistants, Bruce Alter
and Van Lindsay,
to take two full-year courses in two
of the three categories: first, math¬
ematics ; second, astronomy, chem¬
istry and physics; and third, bot-
ony, zoology, psychology and
geology.
Now, however, the categories
have been eliminated and the stu¬
dent may choose any two science
courses to fulfill the requirement.
Consequently, he may elect two
courses within the same depart¬
ment or take a second year in the
same subject.
One reason for the program’s
greater flexibility appears to be
that a student with a greater in¬
terest and aptitude in one field may
now pursue this study more inten¬
sively without being required to
enroll in a course for which he
holds little interest or ability. Also,
the Committee on Instruction has
found “that the assumptions which
led to a division of the sciences
into exclusive categories are less
valid today than formerly, in view
of the present nature of the sci¬
ences and the way in which they
are taught at Columbia.”

5,000 STUDENT EDITORS
ATTEND CPSA EVENTS
Nearly 5,000 student newspaper
and magazine editors and their ad¬
visers from 30 states thronged
over the campus for the 37th An¬
nual Convention of the Columbia
Scholastic Press Association held
on March 9-11.
The fledgling editors attended a
total of 200 lectures and discus¬
sions devoted to the operation of
school newspapers and magazines.
The convention was climaxed on
March 11 with a luncheon at the
Waldorf-Astoria, which is said to
be the largest luncheon served any¬
where in the world. The speaker
was Paul G. Hoffman, managing
director of the United Nations
Special Fund. Special awards to
school publications for typography,
writing and advertising and con¬
tinued service to school journalism
were made at the luncheon.
A highlight of the luncheon was
the announcement of the establish¬
ment of the “Joseph M. Murphy
Fund of the Columbia Scholastic
Press Association” in honor of
Colonel Joseph M. Murphy, founder
and director of the CSPA since
1925. The fund began in 1940 when
Colonel Murphy started turning
over to Columbia for scholarship
purposes amounts of money that
were surplus to the CSPA’s annual
cost of operation. To date the or¬
ganization has contributed more
than $100,000.
Nearly 300 Columbia College
students have benefited from schol¬
arships drawn from this fund. One
stipulation of the fund has been
that recipients of scholarships un¬
der it must work on a part-time
basis in CSPA headquarters. The
organization is unique in that, with
the exception of Colonel Murphy,
the CSPA scholarship holders are
primarily responsible for the Asso¬
ciation’s day-to-day operations.
Since the Columbia Scholastic
Press Association was established
in 1925, 35,842 newspapers and
magazines have been entered in the
annual contests and rated by the
Association and a total of 90,000
delegates have attended the annual
event.

Columbia College Today
A field research program in an¬
thropology, created last year
for undergraduate students from
three Ivy League universities, will be
continued for at least three more years
through a $160,000 grant to Columbia
from the Carnegie Corporation of
New York. The project enables 18
undergraduate students from Colum¬
bia, Cornell and Harvard to conduct
anthropological research during sum¬
mer vacation in underdeveloped areas
in Latin American highlands.
Six students are sent to each of three
field stations, where they are super¬
vised by a professional anthropologist
from one of the participating univer¬
sities. The field stations are in Vicos,
Peru; Riobamba, Ecuador; and Chia¬
pas, Mexico. This is the first time a
group of universities have combined
to provide undergraduates with An¬
thropological Field Research experi¬
ence in underdeveloped areas.
D r. Charles Wagley, Chairman
of Columbia’s Department of
Anthropology and chairman of the
board of directors of the Summer
Field Studies Program, said the proj¬
ect is designed to provide students of
many professional interests with in¬
tensive, first-hand study of cultures
which sharply contrast with their
own. At the same time. Dr. Wagley
said, students are given the oppor¬
tunity to gain coordinated under¬
standing of problems of representative
underdeveloped areas in Latin Amer¬
ica, and to increase their knowledge
of research procedures of cultural
anthropology and of other social
sciences.
M ost of the students lived with
Indian and mestizo families
throughout the summer, taking part
in village festivals, harvests, and other
communal activities, and gaining
first-hand experience of life in under¬
developed areas. All students were
required to submit research papers to
their field leaders at the end of the
summer. Subjects studied include
inter-village relations, contemporary
oral tradition of the Mexican Revo¬
lution, indigenous political systems,
and Indian religious institutions.
Undergraduates Study
in Remote Highlands
TYPICAL OF THE STUDENTS in the anthropology field program is William
N. Binderman *61, a history major at Columbia College, who was assigned to
Maya Indian territory in Southern Mexico. As he traveled from village to village,
on foot, by jeep, truck or horseback, he attempted to determine what conceptions
the Indians had about the 1910 Mexican Revolution. In the course of his trips
through the mountains and tropical lowlands, he hved in Indian huts, ate Indian
food and participated in their community life. He is pictured here after his jeep
broke down and he was stuck in the jungle for three days (note mud-caked clothes).

Lions Capture Ivy League Champiouship
As WINTER turns into spring at
Morningside, the Columbia
sports fan’s biggest problem is coming
down to earth quickly enough to catch
the opening of the outdoor season.
To most shivering New Yorkers,
this was a winter to forget. But for
Lion rooters, the warm glow of un¬
expected victories lingers on.
They still think back to two Ivy
League championship teams and es¬
pecially to a “Cinderella” wrestling
team which simply refused to listen
to the experts.
Back in December, no one in his
right mind would have thought that
Columbia could ever go ga-ga over
wrestling. Nor did anyone expect
very much from this year’s squad and
its new young coach. But Stan Thorn¬
ton and his charges quickly became
involved in a series of dramas which
culminated in a shocking upset
against a seemingly invincible Cornell
squad before the largest crowd to
watch a wrestling match at University
Hall in over 30 years.
By intersession, the grapplers had
crushed C.C.N.Y., Brooklyn Poly,
Princeton and Brown and were tied
for the League lead. Their only losses
had been to Rutgers and Army—a
pair of wrestling powerhouses. The
skeptics said it couldn’t last.
The crowds began to swell as the
Lions polished off Harvard and Yale
on successive weekends and the curi¬
ous were quickly turned into addicts.
An almost unheard-of crowd of 700
was on hand as a strong Colgate team
gave the Lions fits. The visitors led,
15-11, going into the final bout and
only a pin by Bob Asack could pull
it out for the Lions. Asack did just
that and the Light Blue had a one-
point victory. Fans left University
Hall that afternoon, convinced they
had seen the most exciting wrestling
match possible. But Thornton’s boys
were just getting started.
C ORNELL was due in next and the
match got more publicity on
campus and in the New York press
than the previous year’s entire Ivy
League schedule. Both teams were
4-0 in Ivy competition and the winner
would have a stranglehold on the loop
crown. Although Cornell had an in¬
credible streak of 28 straight League
victories and had won four consecu¬
tive championships, 1400 screaming
fans filled University Hall and prayed
for the impossible to happen again.
For a while, things looked good.
Brian Milesi and Joe McLaughlin
outpointed their foes and, although
Jim Balquist lost his first bout of the
year, the Lions led, 6-3. But the Big
Red fought back to take all three
middleweight contests and a seem¬
ingly insurmountable 12-6 lead. Then
A1 Francis won a decision and there
was Bob Asack in the spotlight again.
Bob, who had shed 25 pounds to get
down to 191 and make room for his
brother Lou at heavyweight, was in
against Phil Oberlander, an outstand¬
ing senior, who usually wrestles at
177. Urged on by the wildly cheering
crowd. Bob took advantage of his
superior strength to win a decision
and tie the match at 12-12.
And so the entire burden was
dropped on the ample shoulders of
‘little’ brother Lou. The younger
Asack, a 6'-5" 230 pounder, and Bill
Werst of Cornell circled cautiously at
first. Then Werst scored a pair of
takedowns to take a 4-3 lead. Sud¬
denly, Asack had his man in trouble
with a helf-nelson. With the aid of a
body press, he pinned Werst’s shoul¬
der to the mat. Even before the ref¬
eree’s hand came down to signify the
pin, jubilant Lion rooters swarmed all
over their heroes and staid old Uni¬
versity Hall shook to its foundation.
Any Hollywood script writer would
have stopped there. But the Lions still
had to get by Penn to clinch the title,
and the Quakers, with only a narrow
loss to Cornell could still tie for the
crown by downing Columbia. Special
buses carried Lion rooters to Phila¬
delphia. Once again the Lions found
themselves with their backs to the
wall. The score stood 15-10 against
them as the Asack brothers warmed
up for their respective bouts. For
the third straight week. Bob came
through with a “must” win and
when Lou copped a decision, the
“Cinderella” team had its champion¬
ship with an appropriate 16-15 score.
Balquist, son of Columbia’s baseball
coach, followed his 9-1 (seven pins)
dual meet record by placing second
in the Eastern Championships, while
Bob Asack reached the semi-finals.
The Lions outscored all the other Ivy
schools at the Easterns.
While the wrestlers were wrapping
up their title against Penn, the Colum¬
bia fencers were doing the same thing
against the Quaker swordsmen.
I RV DeKoff’s perennially strong
squad ripped through the Ivy
League with even less trouble than
usual this winter. The fencers pol¬
ished off Harvard, Yale, Cornell,
Princeton and Penn in succession.
Overall, the Lions compiled a 13-1
dual meet record. Their only loss was
to defending national champion
N.Y.U. Although the Violets sported
a three-year winning streak, they
were forced to cop the last five bouts
of the match—all by 5-4 margins—in
order to down the Light Blue.
As usual, the Lions were strongest
at sabre, where Captain A1 Schwartz
and soph Steve Cetrullo were stand¬
outs.
Things were not nearly as pleasant
for the basketball team. For the fourth
straight year, the Light Blue cagers
had a losing season, winning 8 and
losing 14. But the Lions did double
last year’s Ivy League win total and
pull off their share of exciting upsets.
Fred Portnoy—a 6'-4" sophomore
from New York City—was the key
Lion operative. After leading the
freshman squad in scoring last year,
Portnoy topped the varsity point-
makers with 15 per game and was
also the leading rebounder. Captain

Columbia College Today
BOB ASACK ’63, wrestling in the 191-pound class, holds his Cornell opponent for
a near fall. Asack won his bout to tie the meet, which Columbia went on to win.
This was the first Cornell defeat in an Ivy League match in four years and broke
their 28-meet winning streak. The following Saturday Columbia beat Penn to take
the Ivy League Championship.
Ed Auzenbergs and backcourt man
Marty Erdheim—his successor as cap¬
tain—also averaged in double figures.
A trio of tall sophs—6'-7" Erik Brik-
manis and Paul Murphy and 6'-6"
Jim Brogan—shared the center spot
and gave the Lions welcome back-
board strength. Two more sophs—Jim
eleven and Jim Glynn—alternated at
the other guard spot.
The Lions opened with back-to-
back home victories against C.C.N.Y.
and Baltimore, but quickly ran into
trouble on the road. After losing at
Rutgers and dropping a one-pointer
at Cornell, the Lions were beaten in
two out of three appearances at the
Springfield Christmas Tournament.
In Ken Hunter’s debut as coach, the
Light Blue put up a good fight against
Princeton’s mighty defending cham¬
pions, but were beaten despite a 20-
point effort by Brikmanis.
At the Penn Palestra, the Lions
pulled the upset of the young Ivy
League season. Auzenbergs poured in
27 and a tight Lion defense held high
scoring Bob Mlkvy to six points as
Columbia topped touted Penn, 65-54.
A WEEK-END TRIP to Harvard and
Dartmouth produced a split.
The Lions fell six points short of
Harvard, but trounced Dartmouth,
74-57. Although they dropped close
games to Colgate and Army before
the examination break, the Lions
returned to action with a last-minute
upset of Fordham that had University
Hall fans screaming with excitement.
Late game heroics by Portnoy—who
had 14 points and 12 rebounds—
capped a comeback from a 14-point
deficit. Columbia then lost its second
game to Cornell, 69-57.
After downing Harvard on a spec¬
tacular last-second shot by Portnoy,
the Lions dropped three straight, to
Dartmouth (in a game marred by a
fist-swinging donneybrook), Prince¬
ton and Penn.
Their last victory was an upset of
second-place Yale by 6 points. By
losing their last three games—two to
Brown and one to Yale—the eagers
finished in a tie with Dartmouth and
Harvard at the bottom of the Ivy
League contenders.
Dick Steadman’s swimmers had a
good season outside the Eastern
League, but lost all their loop meets
to finish last. The mermen had three
strong point getters, but again lacked
depth. Joe Goldenberg and Fred
Storm were strong all-around per¬
formers who consistently picked up
points in the backstroke, breaststroke
and freestyle. In addition, diver Ed
Fisher turned in some record-break¬
ing performances for the natators.
It was another disappointing season
for Dick Mason’s trackmen. They lost
to Rutgers and Brown in dual meet
competition and finished last in the
Polar Bear meet and the Heps. High
jumper Don Joyce, who scored the
lone Lion point in the Heps, was the
team’s mainstay all season.
As the outdoor activities get under
way. Lion rooters are hopeful of at
least one more championship. Johnny
Balquist’s baseball team is loaded and
could well go all the way. Bob Koeh¬
ler, one of the League’s top pitchers,
is back as is Topper Urban, the team’s
leading hitter last season.
Crew, which has had several dismal
years, has a new coach—Carl Ullrich,
a former assistant at Cornell. Arnold
Chase will captain the Light Blue
rowers.
The tennis team has a new coach,
too. L. Carroll Adams returns as
Acting Coach after a 12-year absence.

RABI CONTINUED
the graduate school into one system,
retaining the important flavor of the
liberal arts traditional college and the
initiative, independence, and search
for new knowledge characterized by
the graduate school. Such a rational¬
ization of our educational system
would allow for greatly increased
educational efficiency and the con¬
servation of the precious time of the
youth of our country.
The trouble was in our beginnings.
The development of higher learning
in America was very slow for reasons
which I don’t fully understand, al¬
though it is fashionable—or was fash¬
ionable—to lay it all to the frontier.
But whatever the reason, the develop¬
ment was slow and difficult, and
the difficulty was nowhere more
apparent than in our first experiment
in higher education at Johns Hopkins.
There, though scholars had been im¬
ported from abroad to give higher
instruction, students could not be
found at home to take advantage of it.
Eventually at Johns Hopkins it was
necessary to set up an undergraduate
college as a pre-condition to success¬
ful graduate work. In a way, this was
like attaching a kindergarten to grade
school in order to get students into
school, with the success of the school
depending on how good a time the
children had had in kindergarten re¬
citing nursery rhymes and dancing
ring-around-the rosey. That—in ex¬
aggerated outline—was the beginning
of graduate education in this country.
E HAVE, of course, come a long
way since then. We have
changed and are continuing to change.
The liberal arts college now attached
to our universities is quite different
from the ordinary liberal arts college,
precisely because it is embedded in
the university. There resources for
higher education do exist and the un¬
dergraduate cannot be immune to
them. As for the divisions which still
exist, we will have to find ways—and
we will find them—of amalgamating
college and university into one inte¬
gral and efficient educational system.
This, I believe, is a new pattern in
education made necessary by the
circumstances in which we now find
ourselves, by the complexity of our
civilization, by the increasing diversi¬
fication of knowledge, by the short¬
ness of time.
PALFREY CONTINUED
between Dr. Rabi’s position and my
own will be seen as differences of
degree and not of substance. For Rabi
will. I’m sure, concede that there is
some hope for the liberal arts college—
I would say that there is great hope,
and that the opportunity for extend¬
ing the influence of the liberal arts,
with their traditions intact and their
standards high, has never been greater.

ONE OF THE LAST photographs of Henry Morton Robinson ’23
is this portrait taken as he read galley proofs on what turned out to
be his final book, Water of Life, called a "torrential novel of three
American generations and the battle of good against evil that each
generation must fight on its own ground.”
POET-NOVELIST-FRIEND
I T SEEMS but a fortnight ago that
Rondo Robinson spoke at our last
1923 annual dinner. He came down
from his rooms upstairs at the Colum¬
bia Club. He wanted to see us again
and tell us about his new book “Water
of Life.”
We who heard him that night will
be hard to convince that Rondo is
dead. Is he.? The legend had already
outlived the life. Even as he spoke to
us that night, we could see that much
of his substance had run like a rushing
mountain stream into the bulky pages
of his new and last novel. He was
tired, his face was flushed and a bit
hollowed; he wasn’t the Rondo we
had known before. He ran a fever.
The legend was taking over, before
our very eyes. The fever was his crea¬
tive energy.
He told us something of the con¬
struction of “Water of Life” and how
he had converted his home, his days
and his nights into a research filing
system of notes, of reportage, of refer¬
ence material. Nobody had the sense
to take down his wonderful speech.
In memory we shall be going back to
it for ages, like Frost going back to
the road not taken, trying to piece
together the brilliant segments of his
ribald and robust mosaic.
For this man, this grandly garrulous
Falstaff of a man, was more poet
than novelist though best-selling fic¬
tion will claim him now. When he
brought back to us that night the
campus days, the days of his dormer
window room under Furnald roof,
the days of Morningside Magazine
with Erskine and the Van Dorens,
with Fadiman and Whittaker Cham¬
bers, with the lyric poetry of “the best
years of our lives,” he was delving
deep down in the root-country of
creative experience again, poet and
singer of the children of Morningside.
He was concerned about his whis¬
key-making family in the new novel
all right. But what he was most con¬
cerned about was the family of his
comrades (how that word has cor¬
roded these days) on campus, when
the brew that was boiling in that
ground floor room in Hartley (where
the piano rests today) stirred with
herbs of Spencer and Chesterton and
a young James Joyce.
I am certain that Rondo would be
as frightened by the prospect of any
kind of immortality as his favorite
firebrand Gilbert Chesterton was in
his famous essay on fear. I am doubly
certain that what Rondo respected
most was the chronicler and not the
chronicle, the daring beyond the deed,
the laughter beyond the analogue.
Yet Rondo will have to face up to
the disaster of becoming a legend,
already upon him. The burst of his
humor will build in the mind like
slow-motion bloom and spatter its
stuttering beauty and color across a
widening and unforgetting world.
The song will heal the singer.

FROM THE DEAN:
W HAT IS HAPPENING to general education at ColumbiaThis is a question alumni
are asking in response to the College faculty’s decision to suspend for three years
the second year of Contemporary Civilization as a required course for all students.
Is this, they ask, the first step in the erosion of general education at Columbia which
was its pioneer forty years agoResponsive to such questions, Robert K. Webb, asso¬
ciate professor of History and chairman of the Contemporary Civilization Program,
has written a special report for Columbia College Today on what the College is pro¬
posing to do this fall as a result of the faculty’s decision to discontinue CCB for a
three-year trial period.
A special committee under the chairmanship of Professor David B. Truman, chair¬
man of the department of Public Law and Government, was appointed by President
Kirk to re-appraise the effectiveness of the two-year sequence in Contemporary Civiliza¬
tion as an essential element in the College’s general education program. With imagina¬
tion and deliberate thoroughness the Committee* explored the question and arrived
at the unanimous conclusion that the second year of CC might need a more basic
kind of attention than a steadily improved syllabus could provide. CCB had not evoked
the needed commitment for an inter-departmental venture of this kind. In contrast
to the first year course, the departments did not regard the common body of materials
relating to the twentieth century as sufficiently relevant to their own disciplines.
What followed happened quickly. The Truman Committee Report in December,
1960, became the subject of the Committee on Instruction’s Recommendation in
January, 1961, and in the same month was approved by the faculty. The special com¬
mittee under Professor Webb was at once appointed to implement the resolutions and
within two months, the program he here recounts was proposed and approved. It is a
tribute to both committees and particularly to both chairmen that the faculty was
prepared to act with decision and dispatch.
The College, abandoning no principle of general education, decided that the way to
experiment was to experiment. The departments were asked to write their own assign¬
ments in sufficiently large terms, or to group together to do so, to pursue the goals of
general education by more than one route. The departments’ response was immediate
to this new venture in general education and the undergraduate reaction has been
favorable. We are interested in alumni reactions to the program and Professor Webb
and I welcome any comments or questions.

Excerpts from the President’s
Committee Report on the Contemporary
Civilization Courses in Columbia College
TN KEEPING WITH the Spirit of its instructions, your Committee at the outset con-
sidered whether the Contemporary Civilization course had outlived its usefulness
and whether it might, in the interests of the College’s wholesome development, be
drastically altered. No one, however, was disposed to reject the aims of general educa¬
tion as they have existed in Columbia College or to conclude that a course in Con¬
temporary Civilization could not, in the future as in the past, contribute significantly
to the achievement of those aims. A pioneer in general education, Columbia College
derives continuing benefits from the conception of collegiate education as something
beyond a collection of subject fragments or even a good grasp of a single subject.
Faculty as well as students have gained from the intellectual effort demanded of them
by the goals of general education: an understanding of the course and forms of human
history, a comprehension of the modes of esthetic experience, and a grasp of the chang¬
ing concepts through which a society attempts to understand itself.
The perplexities presently confronting the Contemporary Civilization program de¬
mand consideration of the best ways to approach these permanent objectives. Your
Committee’s recommendations, therefore, are designed to improve general education
at Columbia, not to diminish its importance or to begin a process of curtailment. To
ask whether existing means are adequate to cherished ends is in the best spirit of the
liberal arts, of the traditions of Columbia College, and of the history of the Con¬
temporary Civilization program itself.
A college curriculum at its best reflects an intellectual conception. Like other organ¬
izing ideas, it appears at times fairly satisfactory and at others not. Periods of doubt,
speculation, and experiment inevitably alternate with periods of consolidation. Colum¬
bia College is in the midst of a period of the first kind. Reconsideration of its aims
and curriculum has so far touched such issues as advanced standing for exceptionally
well-prepared freshmen, conversion of the senior year into the beginnings of graduate
study, introduction of a major system, and increase in the number of seminars. Your
Committee’s recommendations have their place within this larger framework of
discussion and innovation.

Columbia College Today
"CCB” Experiment Begins
Course Suspended for
A Three Year Period
EGiNNiNG IN thc Fall of 1961, a
new program is to be introduced
for the second year of the Contem¬
porary Civilization program in Co¬
lumbia College. Under the new plan,
a student will satisfy the requirement
by choosing two semesters from a
number of alternative courses. As
Dean Palfrey said in his introduction,
the program was devised following
faculty action on January 23, 1961,
suspending the present CCB course
for a three-year period.
The second year of the Contem¬
porary Civilization program has never
had the unqualified success of the
first-year course, which has been un¬
questionably a creative force in Amer¬
ican higher education. The problem
in the second year has been to define
a course which would be more than
a mere introduction to the subject
matter of two or three departments
and which could at the same time
build on the foundation of CCA
some coherent view of the problems
of the twentieth century. As the course
has been constructed in the past ten
years, it has drawn on developments
especially in psychology, sociology,
and anthropology for theoretical
analyses of human nature and society
which can illuminate the problems
and alternatives faced in our century.
To this end, a two-volume source-
book was prepared which, after a trial
period in mimeographed form, was
published in 1955.
This course was undoubtedly a
highly stimulating experience for
many teachers and students, but prob¬
lems inherent in it from the begin¬
ning became increasingly apparent
and troublesome. Chief among these
was the difficulty in finding teachers
who could encompass a range of mate¬
rial so different in content and method
and offering so many problems in con¬
ceptualization. A wide sweep of mate¬
rial has, to be sure, always been a
problem in CCA, but the material in
that course could always be controlled
historically and in terms meaningful
to any liberally educated man. A simi¬
lar expectation of graceful omnicom¬
petence proved illusory for subjects
of great difficulty and subtlety in fields
where few means exist to bridge gaps
created by specialization in discipline
and language.
I T WAS this staffing difficulty and the
resultant problems in morale that
led to the recommendations of the
Truman Committee. The working
out of a substitute was assigned to a
committee under my chairmanship.
The other members were Professors
Barger of Economics, Bell of Soci¬
ology, Morgenbesser of Philosophy,
Rothschild of Government, and Wag-
ley of Anthropology. The aims which
the Committee adopted were derived
from the report of the Truman Com¬
mittee and discussions in the Com¬
mittee on Instruction: (1) to work
out a plan of alternatives which would
have true value as general education
and which would illustrate the ap¬
proaches of the modern social sciences
without being narrowly conceived in¬
troductory courses; (2) to build on
the foundation laid in C.C.A. an
understanding of twentieth-century
problems; (3) to consider the pos¬
sible extension of concern beyond
western civilization; and (4) to ex¬
periment if necessary with other
forms of organization than the small
discussion class.
These aims were, to some extent,
irreconcilable in any single course;
separate disciplinary concerns would
naturally dictate different emphases
among them. Deciding that experi¬
ment was the order of the day, the
Committee set out to encourage a
wide variety of responses in the con¬
text of general education. The re¬
sponse from the departments was
prompt, imaginative, and enthusias¬
tic, and within a month, the new pro¬
gram was organized in general out¬
lines, approved by the Committee on
This Fall
Instruction, and announced to the
student body, where the plan created
wide interest, once the shock of its
inescapable complexity was over.
The present CCB course is to be
retained as one alternative. Three sec¬
tions will be offered by experienced
teachers, who are working out their
own revision of the course, largely
through supplementing material in
the source-book with additional ex¬
tensive reading from paperbacks now
available in a variety unknown five
years ago. The existing course in
Oriental Civilization was made a sec¬
ond alternative.
Of the other alternatives, some will
emphasize primarily the “social sci¬
ence” approach. Two existing depart¬
mental introductory courses—in An¬
thropology and Government — were
proposed and accepted by the Com¬
mittee as falling within the canons of
general education, i.e., approaching
broad questions of contemporary civi¬
lization in the light of an established
social science discipline. A new Eco¬
nomics course, a semester lecture, will
serve as an introduction to economic
reasoning and illustrate it by applica¬
tions to certain problems of the Amer¬
ican economy. The Sociology course
introduces certain key concepts in the
sociologist’s approach to the study of
society, concentrating on large units
in the first semester, on the individual
in the second.
O THER COURSES are directed specifi¬
cally at the emphasis on the
twentieth century, a particularly im¬
portant concern now that CCA stops
at 1914. The History department is
offering a semester course, similar in
form to CCA and based on a new
volume of source readings, in twen¬
tieth-century history; a second semes¬
ter, limited to fifteen students who
have done well in the first semester,
will deal with the thought and in¬
fluence of three leading thinkers and
will serve as well as a rigorous intro¬
duction to the methods of intellectual

history. A second alternative in the
Government department will be con¬
cerned with twentieth-century politi¬
cal thought. One semester course in
the Philosophy department will deal
with competing twentieth - century
ideologies, and another semester
course with the concepts of rationality
and rational decision, so frequently
attacked in this century.
Some of these courses—Anthropol¬
ogy, one course in Government, Eco¬
nomics—are also required courses for
majors in those departments, but a
major cannot offer such a course for
his CC requirement. Except in the
present CCB course and Oriental
Civilization, it is possible for students
to combine semesters in two depart¬
ments. This degree of flexibility is
made possible without the usual dis¬
advantages of “shopping around,” be¬
cause each semester in the alternatives
is conceived as an intensive and sys¬
tematic investigation of an indepen¬
dent subject within the discipline.
Preliminary registration has shown
the greatest student interest in the
courses in Anthropology, Govern¬
ment, and Oriental Civilization. Per¬
haps this result stems from the fact
that the courses already exist as
known quantities; perhaps it is be¬
cause they all deal in some way with
non-Western areas. The other courses
have been well subscribed and in
many instances have had to be lim¬
ited because of restrictions on class
size and availability of staff.
T he variety of the alternatives
makes the program truly experi¬
mental, in keeping with the tradition
of Contemporary Civilization at Co¬
lumbia. Other courses may be added,
and the program will be under con¬
stant review. At the end of the three-
year period, there should be an im¬
pressive accumulation of experience
to guide further decisions about the
solution of a problem which seems
less nearly intractable now than it has
in the past.
A word might be added about
CCA. A new and considerably al¬
tered edition of the source-book was
published during the past year. Next
year, a new two-volume companion
text will be in use, composed of spe¬
cially written essays by leading au¬
thorities. It is likely that this new
publication will attract the same atten¬
tion from other colleges as the present,
widely-used source-book, which has
done such excellent missionary work
for Columbia’s innovations in Con¬
temporary Civilization. The course
continues to evoke real enthusiasm
and devotion from both students and
faculty and to give a special quality
to the lower college which is not easily
matched elsewhere.

Columbia College Today
M ore than 100 undergradu¬
ates of Columbia and Bar¬
nard Colleges have volunteered to
become “assistant educators” in
upper Manhattan elementary and
junior high schools. The project,
known as “Higher Horizons,” is
sponsored by the Board of Educa¬
tion's school districts ten and
eleven and the Columbia College
Citizenship Council.
The college students, who con¬
tribute their time on a voluntary
basis, help to tutor the children in
their difficult subjects and assist
faculty members in introducing
them to museums and art galleries
through planned trips.
The schools which are already
utilizing the students’ abilities are:
Junior High Schools 43 (129th
Street and Amsterdam Avenue),
120 (120th Street and Madison
Avenue), and 13 (106th Street and
Madison Avenue), and Public
School 125 (123rd Street and Am¬
sterdam Avenue).
Since the talents and interests
of the Columbia and Barnard stu¬
dents have been matched with the
needs of the particular district
schools, the project enables them
to assist occasionally in teaching
subjects with which they are espe¬
cially familiar. Such instruction,
as well as all extra-curricular work,
is conducted in the presence of the
regular classroom teachers.
<<T TiGHER HORIZONS” was initi-
iri ated at an upper Manhat¬
tan junior high school in 1956 in an
attempt to provide cultural enrich¬
ment and higher goals of achieve¬
ment for under-privileged chil¬
dren. The project successfully
introduced a large number of
youngsters to the previously un¬
discovered worlds of music, the¬
aters and museums and induced
many pupils to seek college educa¬
tions.
The newly expanded program is
focused upon similar goals. How¬
ever, with the aid of the college
volunteers, more individual atten¬
tion for classroom pupils has be¬
come feasible.
The college students contribute
two or three hours per week in the
schools to which they have been
assigned.

Alumni in the News—Robert Jastrow A4
HIS SPECIAL INTEREST-THE MOON
Dr. Harold C. Urey,
Noble Laureate
Exploring the Moon?
I N THE MIDST of the cclcbration over
Commander Alan B. Shepard’s
historic flight, one branch of the
National Aeronautics and Space Ad¬
ministration remained relatively calm,
if understandably elated.
The Institute for Space Studies, a
theoretical research center for NASA,
was in the process of moving from
Washington to the Interchurch Cen¬
ter on Riverside Drive when Comdr.
Shepard made his somewhat longer
trip. And while Shepard settled back
into a normal day-to-day routine. Dr.
Robert Jastrow ’44, head of the Insti¬
tute, and his staff, are still in the pro¬
cess of reorganizing on the banks of
the Hudson.
At 35, Dr. Jastrow is a man accus¬
tomed to responsibility, who carries
command in a cheerful manner. He
resigned his post as Chairman of the
Lunar Science Committee in the
NASA Office of Space Flight Pro¬
grams to become head of the Institute.
Although the Institute’s main work
is with the theoretical aspects of
America’s science program. Dr. Jas¬
trow has done a great deal of work
with the lunar program, and he is
both enthusiastic and optimistic about
the chances for success in the lunar
probes planned for late this year.
In his office on the fourth floor of
the Center, Dr. Jastrow works behind
a desk steeped high with papers, sur¬
rounded by his scientific library and
enormous photographs of what he
calls the “exciting, scarred and primi¬
tive-looking moon.” He attributes his
interest in the moon to a personal re¬
action to one of his former professors
at Columbia, Dr. Harold Urey, who
feels that the moon is the most primi¬
tive body accessible to us in the solar
system. The importance of its explora¬
tion “is increased by the fact that the
surface of the moon, lacking an ero¬
sive atmosphere, has preserved a rec¬
ord of the history of the solar system
. .. Upon this surface cosmic dust has
rained for eons unimpeded by any
atmosphere.”
D r. jastrow is careful to use the
term “science program” in re¬
gard to his Institute’s work. While he
does not minimize the engineering
problems still to be overcome before
a successful manned flight is possible,
he does emphasize that there are other
major obstacles to space flight. Thus,
he does not think the Russians are on
the verge of putting a man on the
moon. “The Russians are ahead of us
in some aspects of this project, but
despite their engineering lead, they
still have to overcome the other prob¬
lems with manned flight,” he said.
The Institute for Space Studies has
been established in New York to
“arouse the interest and enlist the
participation of this rich scientific
community.” Its major role will be to
stimulate research on various prob¬
lems in physics, geology, meteorology
and astrophysics. Individual staff
members of adjoining universities
will be formally associated with the
Institute through part-time appoint¬
ments. Among those who have ac¬
cepted such appointments are: Dr.
Maurice Ewing, Higgins Professor of
Geology and director of the Lament
Geological Observatory at Columbia;
Robert Dicke, professor of Physics,
Princeton University; Hong-Yee
Chiu, assistant professor of Physics,
Yale University; Bengt Strdmgren,
professor at the Institute for Ad¬
vanced Study; Robert Kraichman, of
the Institute for Mathematical Sci¬
ences, New York University; Harold
W. Lewis, professor of Physics, Uni¬
versity of Wisconsin and visiting
professor of Physics, Princeton Uni¬
versity. A full-time member of the
Institute, Dr. A. G. W. Cameron, is on
leave from Atomic Energy of Canada.
D r. jastrow states that the Insti¬
tute plans “to draw on the
talents of the Columbia staff and to
interest graduate students in the new
areas of research.” A number of sem¬
inars will be conducted by the staff
of the Institute to explore various

program. Among these are: A sem¬
inar in astrophysics, to meet weekly
for the winter term under the direc¬
tion of Professor Stromgren; a bi¬
weekly seminar on the origin and the
early history of the solar system, un¬
der the direction of Professor Urey
and Dr. Cameron; a bi-weekly sem¬
inar on particles and fields, stressing
problems in the interaction between
the interplanetary plasma and the
geomagnetic field. Other seminars
will be arranged as the interests of
staflF and students suggest. The sem¬
inars are open to all graduate students
and staff, independently of any for¬
mal connection with the Institute.
A NATIVE New Yorker, Dr. Jas-
trow obtained his doctorate from
Columbia at 22. While a student in
the College, his first interest lay in
the behavior of rats. Dr. Fred Keller,
then assistant professor of Psychology,
urged him to study calculus, as an aid
to his behavioral research. Finding
the subject matter so exciting, Dr.
Jastrow switched from his pre-med
curriculum to biophysics and finally
to pure physics. Studying with Dr.
A. H. Kramer, visiting professor at
Columbia from the Netherlands, he
wrote his doctoral thesis on “The
Rydberg-Ritz Formula in Quantum
Mechanics.”
After teaching at Columbia and
Cooper Union’s School of Engineer¬
ing, he went to the University of
Leiden in the Netherlands to resume
his studies with Dr. Kramer. Upon
Dr. Kramer’s recommendation, he
was awarded a membership at the
Institute for Advanced Study in
Princeton, N. J., where he worked
under Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer.
From 1950 to 1953 he was at the
Radiation Laboratory of the Univer¬
sity of California at Berkeley. He then
returned to Princeton at a time that
he attracted attention for his study of
what was called “Jastrow Potential,”
the force that causes a high energy
proton to bounce backward when it
hits another proton squarely. In 1953
he became assistant professor of phys¬
ics at Yale University and in 1954
served as a consultant in nuclear
physics to the Naval Research Labora¬
tory in Washington. After four years
in that post, he joined the newly
formed National Aeronautics and
Space Administration.

TEACHER AT COEUMBIA
Andrew J. Chiappe graduated from Columbia College in 1933. He then
entered Clare College, Cambridge, as one of Columbia s Kellett Fellows.
He distinguished himself there, winning the Charles Oldham Sha\espeare
Scholarship. He had studied here with Marl{ Van Doren; abroad, he learned
with E. M. W. Tillyard, G. H. W. Rylands, and Arthur Quiller-Couch.
His critical appraisal of Shakespeare leans, in part, on the critical works
of Bradley, Wilson Knight, and Granville Barker. His interpretations of
“Hamlet” and “King Lear,” Chiappe admits, owe much to the performances
of John Gielgud and Werner Kraus. Of his rewards as teacher here he says:
“There is nothing better than the best of the Columbia College student.”
“The wonder of Miranda is that
there should be such a wonder,” from
a lecture on The Tempest by
Andrew J. Chiappe, Shakespeare
scholar and teacher extraordinary.
A WATERFALL OF TRIBUTE followed
close upon the challenge of the
Shakespeare Andrew Chiappe first
taught at Columbia College in 1946.
Mark Van Doren fixed tribute to
teacher and course in this way: “It
was too good a thing not to be shared
and he was too good a teacher not to
share it.” Now, after fifteen years,
students, and fellow teachers too, in¬
sist that a better course, or a better
lecturer in Shakespeare, would be dif¬
ficult to find.
Chiappe himself insists that he is
not a lecturer. He regards his hour
with College students three times
weekly as “a flow of perceptions, some
of which come from others of Shake¬
speare’s audience.” One of his duties
as teacher, he says, is to provide “just
the right animation” to carry the flow
forward. That is putting it mildly.
Exuberance and enthusiasm are not
words for Andrew Chiappe; they are
states of being.
His love of the plays and of the man
who wrote them seem enough to sus¬
tain Andrew Chiappe in his teaching.
Still, what is most striking about the
man as teacher is his devoted concern
for his students. Shakespeare, man
and work, often seem only the tools
of an educator who feels his main pur¬
pose as teacher is to unsettle satisfied
minds and to expand the awareness of
life and its meanings wherever that
awareness is narrow or incomplete.
Chiappe says of his teaching that he
presents Shakespeare, hiding nothing.
In addition, he presents himself, mak¬
ing an image of himself in the very
act of responding to the plays.

Columbia College Today
. . . FROM THE LECTURES OF ANDREW CHIAPPE
Hamlet: “Here, if anywhere, fate is character. What Hamlet learns is to be whatever his fate, his character, his
compassion, compel him to be. Hamlet ends in quiet and felicity, accepting a degree of mystery m his own being.
What we see is a reconstitution out of the depths of chaos—a readiness to die significantly and great y.
Romeo and Juliet: “A violent energy splendidly manifesting itself, destroys itself in the midst of its manifestation.
Romeo and Juliet are doomed by being what they are. Their very beauty and brilliance is the seed of their downtall.
Everyone in the play has some idea of love, antagonistic to that of the lovers. The lovers, however, sail in beauty
through these negating comments.”
King Lear: “Over and over again, the idea is to accumulate horror-to see what can be endured. It is the nature of
the reality of things that something more horrible than the last can always be borne. Redemption will take place,
but it will be wrought within the existing structure of things.
A Midsummer Night's Dream: “They, the faeries, symbolize whatever there is in the shadow of the night that
sweeps around the earth. They have an allowance to the chambers of the day. They may move into the daylight
world as a dream might live over into waking.”
The Winter's Tale: “Whatever the issue of life may be, out of frozen death calls the urgent insistence of life’s cycle
-not that anything never dies, but what may appear to be a death is itself the bepnning of some kind of renewal.
The Tempest: “The wonder of Miranda is that there should be such a wonder.”
What he admires most in Shake¬
speare is the “tremendous and yet
subtle affirmation of life” to be found
in the plays. His course is, finally, just
such an affirmation; but before he will
allow his students to affirm, he tests
their staying power. The course, to its
very roots, is a probing: “What is the
nature of man, the desiring animal
“What corrupts man.?”; “Is there an
analogue in man to nature’s re¬
newal?”; “Is there any limit to what
a man can endure?”
If he is not questioning, Chiappe is
posing disturbing possibilities: “Per¬
haps the deepest determinants within
a man (which are accumulated, fate)
are impossible for the man himself to
know. Perhaps these determinants
work themselves out only in action.”
The fullness, the wonder of the
human character capable of any ac¬
tion, is something he especially tries
to make his students appreciate: “The
trouble with you people is, you think
everybody mad.”
I T IS, puzzLiNGLY, at just those
moments when one feels that
Chiappe and his Shakespeare exist
only for the student that the teacher
ceases teaching and, drawing himself
into the world of one of the plays,
becomes completely absorbed in the
strength and beauty of that world.
The means of transport is, most often.
the music of a line or speech. This
music expands as Chiappe, his voice
become one with the music, surren¬
ders completely to the rhythm of the
rage, anger, joy or love which the
playwright has captured. Often, his
lyrical voice seems on the point of
breaking: “There is no being, essence,
harmony in this universe, if there is
not this love which Othello has for
Desdemona.”
Chiappe’s Shakespeare is, through¬
out, a thinking Shakespeare. The
plays themselves are often studied
from the vantage point of the matur¬
ing man and playwright. When
Shakespeare drowns his book, Chi¬
appe follows suit. What students on
that day often fail to see is that this
teacher before them, caught up in the
music and magic of the last play, is
doing more than playing Prospero
when he reads:
Go release them,.Ariel;
My charms I'll breyi\, their senses
I'll restore,
And they shall be themselves.
The Tempest's tremendous affirma¬
tion of life, its difficult optimism, is
the only idea that surpasses in inten¬
sity this acceptance of the limits of
magic —a poet’s magic, Prospero’s
magic, and a teacher’s too.

The Planting of the Ivy
NOTE TO EDITOR:
/ wrote this in the summer of i^$6,
after a long evening with Cas Adams
and other congenial friends. Two or
three days later 1 had Cas read it to
chec\ for accuracy and then sent it off
to a magazine which did not use it
because the editor thought the Ivy
League was “not of national interest."
Cas Adams died on December 9,1957,
mourned by friends who included
many at Columbia. 1 mentioned the
piece not long ago to Professor
Dwight Miner. Upon reading it, he
said: “It is rare that we can so sharply
pinpoint the beginnings of any such
widely used expression." Old friends
of Cas Adams on our campus, and on
all the newspapers, will be interested,
I thin\, as well as students of casual
history. Cas was a laughing man who
didn't take anything, including Ivy,
too seriously.
Robert Harron
Assistant to the President
H ave you ever wondered how our
American language grows ? Sit
still for a minute and I’ll give you an
example.
The time was Thursday afternoon,
October 14, 1937. The setting was the
sports department of the New York
Herald Tribune. Assignments were
being made for coverage of the lead¬
ing college football games of the
week. The late George Daley, sports
editor, and Irving Marsh, assistant
sports editor, were making up the
list.
To Stanley Woodward, even then
a veteran and brilliant football writer,
went the Pittsburgh-Fordham game
at the Polo Grounds in New York.
This was the game New Yorkers
wanted most to read about, which was
reason enough for Woodward to
cover. He was then and is now one
of the ablest writers the gridiron has
produced in his years; and his years as
a sports writer go back to about 1920.
When the other staff men got their
assignments, Caswell Adams drew the
Columbia-Pennsylvania game at Co¬
lumbia’s Baker Field in New York.
N ow, MR. ADAMS, who is in these
days the erudite boxing expert
of the New York Journal American
(Editor’s Note: Remember this was
written in 1956), had no quarrel with
either Columbia or Pennsylvania.
Both, in his considered judgement,
were and are splendid old institutions
of higher learning. He was, however,
able to restrain with relative ease his
enthusiasm for football as played in
that day by a number of teams rep¬
resenting the more venerable centers
of higher education in the East. This
was in the heyday of Fordham Uni¬
versity as a major football power; and
Mr. Adams is a Fordham man.
Briefly, piquantly, without rancor,
he expressed his views to the editor.
“Whyinell,” he inquired, “do I have
to watch the ivy grow every Saturday
afternoon } How about letting me see
some football away from the ivy-
covered halls of learning for a
change.?”
He did not press the point. There
was a Friday night boxing match
coming up in Madison Square Gar¬
den, and he had an advance story to
write. He forgot the matter.
But Stanley Woodward, at a nearby
typewriter, did not forget. He had
heard a new phrase. Ivy-covered ? Ivy
group.? Ivy League? These old
schools of the East did not like lea¬
gues. They had long shunned the con¬
ference idea. Stanley liked to ruffle
them occasionally and chuckled when
he did so. Why not call these colleges
the “Ivy League” ?
Woodward wrote the weekly foot¬
ball review for the Herald Tribune on
Monday mornings. It was a review
read with care by football men, includ¬
ing and especially football coaches. I
recall one coach who was accustomed
for several seasons to inquire of
Stanley each week what game he was
to cover. The coach would then forego
scouting arrangements for that game.
He knew Woodward’s Sunday story
and Monday morning technical analy¬
sis would tell him and his strategists
all they needed to know about any
rival.
S o A FEW DAYS LATER, thoUgh nOt On
the Monday immediately follow¬
ing, there crept unobtrusively into a
Woodward football essay the phrase
“. . . and in the Ivy League . . .” as
introduction to a discussion of what
was happening on the fields of the
East’s oldest colleges which, even then
and without a semblance of formal
grouping, were natural and tradi¬
tional rivals. Set down alphabetically,
they were, of course. Brown, Colum¬
bia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard,
Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Yale.
The phrase caught on. Other
writers soon picked it up. Then foot¬
ball enthusiasts began to use it in con¬
versation. Before long even some of
the academicians began to adopt it.
Few who used it knew, or even won¬
dered, about its origin.
Now it has indeed come into the
language. To opportunistic advertis¬
ers it is a phrase which carries the
connotation of smartness in the wear¬
ing apparel of young Americans of
college age. A national network radio
show of some popularity made its own
adaptation. To the high school senior
choosing the school he hopes he at¬
tends there are two groups—the Ivy
and the others.
Educationally it has come to be
actually a useful phrase, with scope
reaching far beyond the confines and
the campuses of the eight to which it
was first so lightly and so aptly ap¬
plied. It represents now in the public
mind an educational philosophy that
is old and established, but modern,
too, and independent and unafraid.
At first many believed it carried a con¬
notation of smugness, conservatism,
wealth. More and more are learning
each year that this is not true.
HEN APPLIED TO athletics. Ivy
League—I guess the quotation
marks can be dropped now—implies
a definite state of mind and set of
principles, not at all the monopoly of
the old Eastern colleges, but certainly
the result in large part of their leader¬
ship. It is a state of mind in which
intercollegiate sports competition is a

Even more important is the fact
that he has revitalized the interest of
nearly 500 alumni and 50 undergrad¬
uates as representatives in a newly
enlarged and strengthened secondary
school relations program. These key
alumni are located in 30 cities scat¬

make up a committee officially called
the Undergraduate Secondary Schools
Committee of Columbia College.
During the past year, 202 different
Columbia alumni interviewed 404
prospective students for Columbia
College, mainly outside the New
York City area. Already results are
beginning to show in the varied
geographic composition of the incom¬

director of King’s Crown Activi¬
ties and Ferris Booth Hall, will be
on leave of absence from the Col¬
lege beginning June 30, to complete
his doctoral degree at Teachers
College in student personnel ad¬
ministration. After serving in the
Pacific in World War II as a Naval
officer, Mr. Malloy returned to Co¬
lumbia as director of Veteran’s
Housing in 1946. He acted as as¬
sistant to the dean from 1947 to
1953, after which he became direc¬
tor of King’s Crown Activities, the
extra-curricular activities of the
College, and assistant dean, whose
responsibilities also included direc¬
tion of the College’s social program
and of the counseling program in
the undergraduate residence halls.
In 1957 he was appointed associate
dean of Columbia College and held
this post until 1960 when he as¬
sumed full-time directorship of
King’s Crown Activities and Ferris
Booth Hall.
STATE DEPARTMENT SPONSORED
SENIOR PROJECT IN CHILE
“The Housing Dilemma in Chile”
is the title of 20-year-old Robert
Allan Kahn’s recently - published
75-page report on the formidable
crisis in housing, construction and
urban growth and development in
Chile, based upon his year of study
there. The recipient of a United
States State Department $1,000
grant, Mr. Kahn ’61, president of
the Spanish Club and executive
board member of the Pre-Law So¬
ciety, participated in a full aca¬
demic year of study at the Univer-
sidad Catolica of Santiago, Chile.
Living for varying periods of time
with a middle-class, an upper class,
and a working class family, he
gained insight into all strata of
Chilean society. During his stay in
Chile, he organized and ran a cen¬
ter for the underprivileged children
of the Conchali area and inter¬
viewed, observed and did intensive
research in compiling materials for
his treatise on the social and eco¬
nomic problems of the country, in¬
terviewing many Chilean figures
and Point Four technicians work¬
ing with the U. S. Overseas Mis¬
sion.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
SCHOOL IS NEWEST FACULTY
T he COLUMBIA SCHOOL of Interna¬
tional Affairs and Regional In¬
stitutes became a new and separate
faculty of the University on July 1
with Dr. Schuyler C. Wallace ’19, the
present director of the School, as the
first dean of the new Faculty. This,
the seventeenth faculty of the Uni¬
versity and the first to be added
in nine years, will bring together in
a single unit approximately 500 stu¬
dents engaged in a variety of interna¬
tional studies throughout many of the
University’s faculties.
The School, established in 1946, is
considered one of the nation’s impor¬
tant centers for the training of spe¬
cialists to deal with political, strategic,
legal, economic, and cultural rela¬
tions of the United States with other
regions and nations. It was the first
school in this country established on
a graduate level to provide integrated
training of experts in international
business, economics and government
affairs.
There are six area centers as part
of the Faculty: East Asian Institute,
European Institute, Near and Middle
East Institute, Program on East Cen¬
tral Europe, Russian Institute, and
the newest of the School’s regional
centers, the Program of Studies on
Africa.
Professor Wallace received his Mas¬
ter’s degree at Columbia in 1920, after
graduating from the College. He re¬
ceived his Ph.D. degree in 1928 and
became assistant professor of Govern¬
ment in the same year. He became
associate professor in 1937, professor
in 1939 and executive officer in the
Department in 1945. Dr. Wallace was
responsible for the wartime creation
at Columbia of the Naval School of
Military Government and Adminis¬
tration. He was director from 1942
to 1945. Professor Wallace has been
Ruggles Professor of Public Law
and Government since 1950 and has
headed the School of International
Affairs since 1945 and the European
Institute since 1950. He was consult¬
ant for the Navy Department from
1943-45, and the Ford Foundation
since 1952.
SCHUYLER C. WALLACE
T he program of Studies on Africa,
which is expected to develop into
a full-fledged regional institute, will
open in September. Its director will
be Professor L. Gray Cowan, for
many years a student of African
affairs, who recently returned from
his most recent survey in Africa,
where he visited several areas, includ¬
ing Kenya, Uganda, Tanganyika and
Zanzibar. The aim of the new Pro¬
gram of Studies on Africa will be to
prepare students for careers in which
they will deal with the political, social
and economic problems of the con¬
tinent. The program will lead to a
“Certificate in African Studies,” with
which there will be combined a grad¬
uate degree in the field of the stu¬
dent’s major academic interest.
Working with Dr. Cowan will be
six specialists in as many fields. They
will be Professors Joseph H. Green¬
berg ’36, anthropology; Paul S. Win-
gert ’28, art history; William A.
Hance ’38, economic geography; Wil¬
lard Rhodes, music; Immanuel Wal-
lerstein ’51, sociology; and A. Arthur
Schiller, law.
The African Program will be par¬
tially supported by a portion of a $5.5
million grant which Columbia re¬
ceived from the Ford Foundation last
July.
“It is obvious that increasing num¬
bers of Americans, in business, in
teaching, and in the professions,
whether of technology or science, will
find spheres of activity in Africa,”
said Dr. Cowan. “It is imperative that
we understand how African politics
work, and that our understanding is
based on knowledge of customs, cul¬
ture, geography, racial history and
other pertinent background.”
T he general elections for the legis¬
lative council were in progress in
Kenya when Dr. Cowan was there in
April. He talked with African politi¬
cal leaders about plans for the Colum¬
bia program.
“It would be a mistake,” he said,
“to believe that the people in such
areas as Kenya, Uganda, or the
Congo, are ignorant or even naive in
politics. In most areas they have their
parties and they know what they are
voting for. In Kenya I saw Africans
standing in line for hours to vote.
Each candidate was assigned a sym¬
bol. His partisan voted for him by
voting for the symbol. Primitive de¬
mocracy, perhaps, but not without
effectiveness.”
Dr. Cowan explained that students
in the African program will acquire a
broad knowledge of the background
in current African problems,, and will
in addition gain knowledge in depth
of a particular area of the continent
through seminar work and research.
“/npHE LEADERS with whom I talked
X were enthusiastic about the
growing interest in African problems
in American universities,” he said.
“ ‘More education’ was a basic plank
in the platform of every group with
whose representatives I spoke in
Kenya.”
Dr. Cowan’s interest in Africa has
engaged his attention for the past
decade. It has included long research
in West Africa, as well as a two-year
survey of the development of local
representative government in the Brit¬
ish and French colonies, and the
problem of introducing Western de¬
mocracy into a non-Western area.
Later he studied the developing politi¬
cal leadership in the new states.
“A great continent enters a new
period of history,” said Dr. Cowan.
“Informed Americans are needed to
help in our attempts to cooperate
with its many peoples. This is the
objective of the program we plan at
Columbia.”

CHASE MANHATTAN DONATES
FURNITURE TO UNIVERSITY
Chase Manhattan Bank has do¬
nated nearly 100,000 pieces of office
furniture to the University. The
desks, chairs, tables, filing cabinets
and other items, comprising the
gift are valued at approximately
$350,000. The furniture was, until
recently, in seven buildings occu¬
pied by the bank. These offices
have been closed and Chase person¬
nel have moved into the bank’s new
60-story head office building at 1
Chase Manhattan Plaza.
Columbia will use the gift to re¬
place furniture in the academic of¬
fices in Hamilton Hall, Philosophy
Hall, and the Seeley W. Mudd
Building, the first unit in the new
Engineering Center which will
open for classes in September. Ad¬
ditional pieces of the furniture will
be placed in many other faculty and
staff offices at Columbia including
furnishings for the University’s
Lament Geological Observatory.
President Kirk said: “We at Co¬
lumbia are indeed happy about this
splendid gift of furniture from
Chase Manhattan. The gift makes
it possible not only to brighten and
refurnish our faculty and staff of¬
fices, but also results in a savings
of many thousands of dollars. The
funds we would have been obliged
to spend for new furnishings can
now be applied to other worthwhile
projects elsewhere in the Univer¬
sity.” Dr. Kirk added he hoped that
the Chase Manhattan gift might
encourage other large companies
to make similar gifts to colleges
and universities.
“Corporations, in recent years,
have given much support to higher
education through scholarships,
matching funds and other financial
donations,” he said. “But this is a
new approach, one that could be of
great benefit to other institutions
throughout the nation.”

COLUMBIA COLLEGE JOINS
EUROPEAN STUDY PROGRAM
Columbia College has joined with
five other institutions to partici¬
pate in the second year of an Ex¬
perimental European Summer
Study Program in International
Affairs. The other institutions rep¬
resented are Colgate, Princeton,
Rutgers, Swarthmore, and Mount
Holyoke. The summer research
program was developed with the
aid of a grant from the Carnegie
Corporation of New York, and the
first group of sixteen students went
to Europe last summer. The eight¬
een participants in this year’s pro¬
gram (all members of the junior
class in their respective institu¬
tions) will work on projects relat¬
ing to the phenomenon of European
nationalism, both past and present.
During this academic term the
undergraduates devoted a portion
of their studies to background re¬
search for their projects. In mid-
June the group left for Europe
to assemble at the Institute for
Social Studies in the Hague for
two weeks of seminars. Following
those seminars members of the
group will undertake two months
of independent study at various
European locations dictated by
their individual projects. During
part of this period some will live
as members of host families under
an arrangement with The Experi¬
ment in International Living. At
the end of the summer the group
will gather at Oxford University
for two further weeks of seminars,
in which their research findings
will be presented and discussed.
After returning to their respective
campuses in September, the stu¬
dents will write up their findings
in thesis form.
The participants were selected
by an inter-university advisory
committee on the basis of their
outstanding academic records and
the promise of their projects. They
will receive grants, according to
need, up to full support for the ex¬
penses of the summer.
The Columbia College students
and each place of study and project
are: Eric Levine: France,
“French-Algerian War: A Chal¬
lenge to Western Ideology”; “The
Right to the Homeland”; and
Daniel Stone: France, “Breton
Nationalist Movement and French
Foreign Policy, 1939-1946.”
SLOAN FOUNDATION AWARDS
SIX RESEARCH GRANTS
Six Columbia faculty members
have received two-year unrestricted
research grants effective this Sep¬
tember, from the Alfred P. Sloan
Foundation. Under the Sloan
Foundation’s Basic Science Pro¬
gram, which supports “people
rather than projects,” the scientists
are free to determine their own
course of research. This year the
Fellows are faculty members of 35
United States and 2 Canadian insti¬
tutions.
Columbia and the University of
California lead the list in the num¬
ber of scientists receiving grants,
each with 6. The Columbia profes¬
sors are: Dr. Ronald Breslow,
Chemistry; Dr. Harish-Chandra,
Mathematics; Dr. Martin Karplus,
Chemistry; Dr. Serge Lang, Math¬
ematics; Dr. Robert Novick, Phys¬
ics; and Dr. Melvin Schwartz.
SUMMER SCIENCE CONFERENCE
FOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
Columbia University has received
from the National Science Founda¬
tion a grant of $56,275 for the
support of a six-week summer con¬
ference for high school science
teachers with a background in
physics. The conference, entitled
“Scientific Frontiers and Their In¬
teraction with Society,” will extend
from July 3 to August 11 on the
campus.
Dr. Polykarp Kusch, chairman
of the department of Physics, said
the objective of the conference is
to discuss certain fields of science
in which there has been a phenom¬
enal growth in the last few years
and which are importantly related
to the quality of the present and
future political, social and eco¬
nomic life. The conference is lim¬
ited to fifty participants chosen
by the department of Physics on
the basis of applications submitted
to the department. Courses to be
offered are: Radiati on^ in Man,
The Exploration of Space, Modern
Communications and Physical Con¬
cepts.

Columbia College Today
J OHN Vaio, a classics major from Oakland, California, ignited a
mild uproar in the senior class when he announced his inten¬
tion to deliver his valedictory in Latin. Several of his classmates
complained that few in the audience would understand the oration
unless it was delivered in the “common tongue.” The Senior
Week Committee finally resolved the controversy by providing
a printed English translation of the address.
Columbia archives show that at the first commencement in
1758 of King’s College, the exercises were concluded with a
valedictory in Latin by Leonard Cutting. This practice evidently
continued through the 18th century. An interesting sidelight dis¬
closed in the archives is that the salutatory oration was delivered
in Greek at virtually all of the Commencement exercises during
the Nineteenth Century. Beginning in 1901 both the valedictory
and salutatory addresses were given in English and this tradition
continued until Mr. Vaio delivered his Latin oration.

QUOTES FROM “THE MODERN
ALUMNUS" BY PRESIDENT
HESBURGH OF NOTRE DAME
HE ALUMNI are the butt of an in¬
ordinate number of academic
jokes, and fare no better in the rather
sparse literature that depicts life in
the groves of academe. Perhaps this
caricaturish prototype of the alumnus
did really exist in some vague yester¬
year—in the day of the racoon coat,
the hip flask and the really rugged in¬
dividualist. No doubt, he still exists
today as rare specimen, but this hardly
justifies the constant image that still
persists of the alumnus in our day.
Personally, I believe that it is high
time to lay this myth to rest. Our
alumni are the finest personal projec¬
tion of w^hat our universities are
doing, and the most cogent reason for
their important place among the
many other institutions in our land.
The modern alumnus is anything but
a perpetual sophomore. If he were not,
we should close our doors.
If you agree with me, I trust you
will not object if I address you today
regarding some of the larger issues
that should command your attention
as intelligent and well-educated mem¬
bers of alumni federation of this great
University. We often boast that the
fruits of a good education are these:
the critical mind, the discerning spirit,
the higher values, the sense of com¬
mitment, dedication and service. I as¬
sume that these are legitimate com¬
ponents of a more adequate modern
alumnus type, closer to the truth of
the matter than the stereotyped cari¬
cature.
W HAT ARE the larger issues that
should concern the modern
alumnus ? May I generalize by saying
that they are the same issues that
should concern any intelligent and
responsible member of our society.
They are issues amenable to solution
by intelligence and responsible ac¬
tion, issues that certainly cannot be
solved by blind emotion, automatic
reaction, or inertia.
These are the three issues I have
chosen: the quality of life in America
today, civil rights and equal oppor¬
tunity, and, finally, America and the
world.
F irst, the quality of life in America
today. Is it good or bad ? Is it get¬
ting better or worse.? I begin with
this issue because, as Plato once said,
if you wish to reform the world, you
had best start with yourself. How are
we doing.? What kind of books do
most of our people read.? What is the
general level of conversation.? How
much tolerance do we have for inane
TV programs.? What is the general
level of values: in business, in mar¬
riage and family life, in recreation, in
education, in politics, in professional
life.? Are we really more interested in
making money or achieving status in
any cost than in realizing some mean¬
ingful sense of justice, charity, under¬
standing, wisdom or compassion in
our lives.? I cannot answer these ques¬
tions, except for myself, and if Plato
was right, that is the best place for
the initial answer. To go beyond and
answer on a national scale is a difficult,
if not impossible quest, yet any in¬
telligent and responsible citizen or
alumnus of today must give it a try.
For quality of life ultimately depends
upon the quality of persons, and if
persons generally lose a zest for ex¬
cellence of performance in whatever
they do, then a nation is in trouble,
indeed, if Toynbee is right, a nation
is on the way out. John Gardner put
it succinctly when he said that if our
plumbers and our philosophers do not
cherish excellence, then neither our
pipes nor our arguments will hold
water.
When matter gets out beyond the
spirit, the externals of life may glitter
and impress, but the glory may be
only that of a monument to inner
mediocrity, inanity or sham. You can
read the signs for yourself: never
more words with less meaning, never
more power with less direction, never
more pleasure with less satisfaction,
never more seeking with less finding,
never more wealth with less richness
of spirit, meaning, or true security
that spells peace and inner confidence.
If these are discernible trends, then
only educated, intelligent, and re¬
sponsible people (another word for
alumni) can reverse the trends and
ransom our times and our nation.
C IVIL RIGHTS is my second issue. In
a sense, it is subsidiary to the
first issue and introductory to the
third issue of America and the world.
In our response to this issue, we dem¬
onstrate to ourselves and to the world
that we do or do not believe in the
inner dignity of each human person
as a child of God endowed with in¬
alienable rights, worthy of our deepest
respect. Here is the test case that no
one can avoid.
T he true crisis of our day is not
what the Communists are doing
in Cuba or Laos, but what we are
doing at home. We do little good
combating Communism on foreign
and distant fronts if we erode at home
those principles of human dignity and
human rights that most truly give us
our strongest ideological stance vis-a-
vis the Communist world menace.
We are presently losing most of our
domestic battles for human rights
in New Orleans, Birmingham, and
Montgomery. Those who worry so
much about Communistic subversion
at home might well give equal energy
to the task of making democracy
come true here for all Americans.
The most dangerous subversion for
America is that which denies in prac¬
tice here at home, the human dignity,
liberty and opportunity that we pro¬
fess in our conflicts with Communism
abroad.
Is there any positive, simple pro¬
gram that insures our being true to
ourselves and to America in this im-
poitant issue? I believe so, and I be¬
lieve that it needs to be implemented
everywhere in America, not just in
the South. The program I suggest for
mature, intelligent, and responsible
alumni is as simple as the special
genius of America: equal respect and
equal opportunity for all. As we say
in baseball, everyone may not hit a
home run, but everyone gets a chance

NEWS FROM THE TENTH FUND
T heodore c. garfiel ’24, general
chairman of the Tenth Colum¬
bia College Fund, and Alfred J. Bara-
bas ’36, executive director of the
Fund, announced, as COLUMBIA
COLLEGE TODAY went to press,
that the Tenth Fund is at this time
running ahead of the Ninth Fund.
“Since the target of the Tenth Fund
is to approach $1,000,000, as compared
to the Ninth Fund’s total of $516,418,
we still have a long way to go, though
we have great hopes of spurting
ahead over the summer period,” de¬
clared Mr. Garfiel.
A number of special projects have
been undertaken to make possible the
approach to the “Magic Million.”
These have included the intensifica¬
tion of the John Jay Associates pro¬
gram under the direction of Jerome
A. Newman ’17, the establishment of
a Parents’ Giving Program under the
leadership of Dr. Frederick E. Lane
’28, the experiment with regional so¬
licitation (see the Fairfield County
report on page 3), and the concen¬
trated work with the alumni classes
under the direction of Howard Fal-
berg ’54.
F or the first time, two meetings
for Class Fund chairmen were
held in May at the Columbia Univer¬
sity Club. The first meeting was at¬
tended by alumni representing classes
prior to 1930, and the second meeting
was for representatives from the
classes of 1930-1960. There was an ex¬
cellent turnout at these meetings, and,
as a result, there has been a great deal
of revitalized interest, including the
establishment of several new class
committees.
Mr. Garfiel also reported that the
Class of 1961 has broken all records
for the amount of money raised by any
senior class. The Senior Fund Drive
was under the direction of Joseph E.
Lane, and, to date, 485 gifts and
pledges amounting to $4,665, have
been contributed. This represents
gifts from 88% of the class.
Mr. Newman has announced that
the second annual John Jay Associ¬
ates Dinner will be held on Monday,
October 2, in the Rotunda of the Low
Memorial Library. The featured
speaker will be Dr. Richard E. Neu-
stadt, chairman of Columbia Col¬
lege’s department of Government
and one of President John F. Ken¬
nedy’s chief advisors.
Professor Neustadt, whose most re¬
cent book is “Presidential Power—
The Politics of Leadership,” has spe¬
cialized in helping the White House
on the problems of government struc¬
ture, organization, and budget. He is
responsible for drawing up the reor¬
ganization of the White House staff,
the organizational plan for the Food
for Peace program, the Peace Corps,
and the Mutual Security Program.
Hesburgh continued
educated to the fullness of his intel¬
ligence, motivation, and ability, equal
opportunity to work and to be ad¬
vanced on the basis of talent, educa¬
tion, performance, and, finally, equal
opportunity to live where his heart
desires and his means permit. This
would not mean a complete end to
hatred, to personal prejudice, to crude
or subtile inhumanity. But if every
alumnus of every good university be¬
lieved and practiced this program as
a matter of deep personal conviction,
America would be much closer to the
dream of our Declaration of Inde¬
pendence, our Constitution, and our
Bill of Rights. I insist that we should
do this because it is right, and any
other action is both wrong and hypo¬
critical. I add that a deepened moral
fiber at home would greatly strengthen
our cause abroad, which must seem
both incomprehensible and ridiculous
in view of recent headlines: freedom
fighters backed by American arms in
Latin America, Asia, and Africa,
while American arms stand idly by
watching American freedom riders
beaten bloodily by Americans in
Alabama.
'^T^his b.tings us rather pointedly to
A my third issue: America and the
world. First, may I venture the view
that while intelligent and responsible
Americans are and should be inter¬
ested in the world as never before in
our history, the issue here is not that
we should by some divine right be¬
come saviors of all the world. Witness
a few facts: our performance has not
been exactly stellar to date, excepting
where money was joined to mature,
civilized and existing human talents,
as in the Marshall Plan. But the rest
of the world is not Western Europe.
In Latin America, which I have vis¬
ited twice in the last nine months, I
am appalled at the result of our bun¬
gling efforts. In Africa, which I have
seen from top to bottom, we have
hardly begun, and at times I am
aghast to think what will happen
when we really get started with the
advance guard of coca-cola, chewing
gum and guns. This may all sound
very negative, but I do want to present
a positive thesis. The universities, un¬
der the perennial and enlightened
leadership of your own very talented
President, Dr. Grayson Kirk, are be¬
coming increasingly involved in the
world, in a reflective, studious, educa¬
tive, and often imaginative manner.
Somehow there must be a wedding
between the universities’ intelligence
and the governmental programs
abroad. This, I take it, can only come
to pass in large and most fruitful
measure when our more intelligent,
more educated, and more responsible
alumni are willing to sacrifice a few
years of their lives to combat man’s
ancient enemies of ignorance, hunger,
grinding squalor and hopelessness
which are the daily lot of millions of
human beings around the world. The
answer to these problems is not
money, as much as men. Not medi¬
ocre, unimaginative, and arrogant,
but compassionate, dedicated, hard¬
working, humble men and women
who can learn as well as teach, serve
as well as preside. If alumni can fulfill
such a role in our day, they will truly
enrich the world as well as themselves.

Columbia College Today
COLLEGE ALUMNI NEWS
T he association of the Alumni of
Columbia College has re-elected
for one year terms its 1960-61 slate of
officers: Thomas E. Monaghan ’31,
president, Daniel J. Reidy ’29, vice-
president, Leonard T. Scully ’32,
treasurer, and Richard L. Clew ’53,
secretary. The election took place at
the Annual Meeting of the Associa¬
tion in Ferris Booth Hall on May 9,
1961.
The Annual Meeting also marked
the adoption of an amendment to the
alumni constitution changing the
name of its Standing Committee to
Board of Directors. Newly elected
members of the Board are: Bernard
P. Ireland ’31, Dr. Edward H. Reis-
ner, Jr. ’35, J. Robert Tuthill ’55 and
Julius Witmark ’25. Retiring from the
Standing Committee after three years
of service were Beril J. Edelman ’24,
Hugh J. Kelly ’26, John S. Henry ’30
and John Steeves ’48.
The Annual Report of the Presi¬
dent was distributed at the Meeting
and copies of the Report were mailed
to all members of the Association.
The Report calls attention to the ef¬
forts of the Association to inform the
undergraduate body of the College
of the work of alumni on their behalf.
Key parts of the Association’s attempt
to stimulate undergraduate interest
in alumni programs during the past
year have been a reception for the
incoming freshman class, direct ap¬
pointment of undergraduates to
alumni committees, part time work
for students in the Alumni Office and,
through . the Women’s Committee,
student teas and alumni at-home
dinners.
M r. MONAGHAN also Called atten¬
tion, in his report, to the As¬
sociation’s pledge of financial support
to Dean Palfrey in order to make
possible the long-hoped-for appear¬
ance of Columbia College Today in
its new magazine format. The pledge
was, however, only one aspect of the
Association’s most expansive pro¬
gram, the attempt to forge a meaning¬
ful and intensified communications
network among College alumni. The
President’s Report outlined work
with individual class organizations,
area servicing programs, alumni ques¬
tionnaires and metropolitan luncheon
clubs as other aspects of the program.
Thomas E. Monaghan addresses An¬
nual Meeting of Alumni Association
The Report also stressed the work
of the Association’s many committees
working in areas as various as cam¬
pus religious affairs and alumni pub¬
lications. The President expressed his
gratitude, on behalf of College
alumni, to those who had freely vol¬
unteered their time and energy during
the past year, stating that all could
take “justifiable pride and satisfaction
in knowing that what they have done
in the interest of Columbia College
has inured to her benefit and has
earned her gratitude.”
Dean’s Awards were presented at
the Annual Meeting to Edwin Rick-
ert ’36, for his service as a Class Spon¬
sor in advising undergraduate classes,
and to Frank Tupper Smith ’51 for
his work with the luncheon clubs,
particularly the reactivation of the
Midtown Luncheon Club.

Lions Are Second Place in Eastern Leagur
A fter a spring spent chasing Navy
in a spirited but futile bid for a
baseball championship, Columbia’s
breathless fans are getting ready to
reach for the most tempting ring of
them all on the next turn of the sports
merry-go-round.
Their grandstand and managing
chores finished, the Lion rooters are
warming up for Monday morning
quarterbacking duty in the fall; their
dreams of a football championship
sweetened by the knowledge that in
this sport the Lions at least won’t have
to contend with Navy.
The Middies, without a doubt, were
the biggest thorns in Columbia’s side
this spring. Although Johnny Bal-
quist’s baseball team compiled an out¬
standing 7-2 record in the Eastern
League—good enough for the pennant
most years—the Lions had to settle
for second place behind Navy’s 8-1.
As had been predicted, the cham¬
pionship was actually decided when
Columbia and Navy locked horns
early in the season at Annapolis. In
what some observers called the best
played college baseball game they had
ever seen. Navy star Chuck Davis out-
pitched Columbia ace Bob Koehler,
3-1, in a game completed in less than
two hours.
The Lions, who had opened the
league campaign with an 11-0 pasting
of Dartmouth, bounced back from
the Navy defeat to top Harvard and
pound Princeton, 13-3. But when Yale
rolled up that same score against Co¬
lumbia, the situation appeared hope¬
less, since Navy was still undefeated.
A t this point, knowing another
loss would be fatal, the Lions
met highly-rated Army at Baker
Field. For seven innings Koehler held
the Cadets scoreless while his mates
could manage but a single run off
Army’s renowned Bob Kewley. But
in the top of the eighth. Army football
star Roger Zailskas boomed a three-
run homer. Not to be outdone, Co¬
lumbia’s own refugee from the grid¬
iron, Tom Vasell, hit a two-run circuit
to tie the game. After two more run¬
ners had reached base, pitcher Koeh¬
ler singled to win his own game, 4-3.
A week later, Koehler struck out
13 Cornellians at Ithaca to lift the
Lions to their sixth loop victory. Al¬
though Columbia was now to begin
final exams, the Lions still had a date
with Penn to make up a rained-out
game. Meanwhile they hoped that by
some miracle Navy might lose two of
its three remaining games.
The Middies outslugged Cornell,
but then lost to Princeton, leaving
only the traditional Army-Navy game.
In order to ensure a tie for the title,
even if Navy did lose to Army, Co¬
lumbia first had to take care of its un¬
finished business with Penn. Again,
Koehler came through in the clutch,
striking out 14 in a 5-3 victory. Now
there was nothing more to be done
but bite fingernails on crossed fingers
and root for Army. But this extra
spiritual support wasn’t enough and
Navy beat Army to win the cham¬
pionship.
Koehler’s 6-3 record included a
spectacular 1.04 earned run average.
He averaged 10 strikeouts and two
walks per nine innings. Mike Espo¬
sito, although hobbled with an ankle
injury, led the team with a .433 bat¬
ting average and an astronomical
slugging percentage of .700.
First baseman Doug Bohaboy, the
captain-elect, batted .327 and led the
squad in runs batted in, hits and
stolen bases. In the pitching depart¬
ment, Coach Balquist had a second
front-line hurler to call on, lefty
Murray Melton. The former Lion bas¬
ketball star won five games without
a loss, including important league
games against Harvard and Brown.
C olumbia’s other spring sports
teams had rough going. The
tennis team won four of 11 meets,
beating only Brown in league play,
while the golfers won two, lost seven
and tied one. The track team and the
heavyweight crew shared the same
fate—finishing last in all their contests.
Carl Ullrich’s crew did, however,
make a creditable showing in a two-
length loss to Navy’s Olympic crew.
In the Blackwell Cup regatta, all three
shells lost the “Battle of the Harlem”
to a Circle Line yacht which sped
almost directly into the crews.
Columbia’s lightweight sweep-
swingers continually came within a
few seconds of achieving the successes
expected of them. In the Geiger Cup,
for example, the 150’s were third,
though only two seconds behind the
winner.
But all this is already fading into
history, as the football season ap¬
proaches. Columbia’s football practice
begins on September 1 when Coach
Buff Donelli and his capable crew
take some 50 grid candidates to Camp
Columbia at Lakeside, Conn.
T he football season opens against
Brown at Providence on Septem¬
ber 30. The following Saturday, the
Lions debut at Baker Field against
arch-rival Princeton in the annual
Homecoming game. The other home
games are against Lehigh, Dart¬
mouth and Penn.
Even the most hard-boiled cynics
among Columbia rooters are looking
for a first-division finish in ’61. The
Lions missed the upper half of the
“Honorable Eight” last year by the
margin of one point—the 8-7 loss to
Harvard.
Donelli will have 17 lettermen re¬
turning, including six key starters,
headed by quarterback Tom Vasell.
Tommy was below par early last sea¬
son after injuring an ankle in a pre¬
season scrimmage. He didn’t round
into form until the Harvard game,
when he broke his own Ivy League
passing record with 16 completions.
He ranked as the loop’s third leading
passer.
Bob Asack, All Ivy tackle, heads
the returnees up front. The bruising
230-pounder is a standout offensive
blocker, and much of Columbia’s
power attack is directed over his sec¬
tor. Donelli will also have Lee Black
back at center and Captain Billy
Campbell at guard. Both are experi¬
enced seniors.
July 1961

Backfield men Russ Warren and
Tom O’Connor should give the Lions
the running punch to go with Vasell’s
aerial ability. Warren, alternating be¬
tween fullback and halfback, was the
second leading groundgainer last
year, averaging four yards per carry.
O’Connor showed flashes of outstand¬
ing talent, though laid up part of the
season with a shoulder injury. A
c]uick, hardnosed fullback, he was a
stand-out on the Frosh eleven.
Among the 17 sophomores who will
go to camp with the Lions are several
outstanding prospects. Len DeFiore,
a little (5'-ll", 165 lbs.) quarterback,
displayed both passing and running
talent as a Cub, as well as coolness
under pressure. End Garry Diehl was
a consistent target for DeFiore’s
passes while Harry Hersh and A1
Butt’s were strong running backs.
Yale and Cornell are considered the
teams to beat in ’61. In a pre-season
poll, Columbia was picked for fourth.

THE CLASS OF 1913 has set a $100,000 goal for its Fiftieth Anniversary
gift to Columbia University in 1963 to establish a loan and grant fund to be
available to every undergraduate in the College, Architecture or Engineering,
or to any graduate student in these schools preparing for a Master’s or Doctor’s
degree, or to any member of the faculties of these three schools. The Fund is to
be administered by five trustees—three of them, the deans of the College, Archi¬
tecture and Engineering, and the other two to be the class president and the class
treasurer. Milton Weill, the chairman of the Anniversary Fund, is optimistic
that the Class will succeed in raising its $100,000 principal by June, 1963, and
reports that to date $48,005 has already been raised or pledged.

completely integrated phase of the
undergraduate liberal arts education;

soned, exacting, and honorably ob¬
served; in which the so-called “athletic
scholarship” is non-existent; in which
academic officers assume full respon¬
sibility for sports administration.
All-America football players may be
relatively few in the Ivy League in the
future, but competition is rugged and
exciting. It will be the competition of
boys who play, not of downtown
Booster Clubs and recruiting organi¬
zations. It will be competition free of
the troubles which still beset many of
the younger but strangely more old-
fashioned institutions in many parts
of the country.
I saw Cas Adams not long ago at
Baker Field, where Columbia College,
the undergraduate College of 2,300
men in Columbia University, plays
the only major college football left in
New York City.
I asked him if his contribution of
an idea and, with Stanley Woodward,
of a phrase to the American lexicon
has brought him formal scholarly rec¬
ognition from one or more of the
institutions included in the now offi¬
cially constituted Ivy League.
He said no.

HIGHLIGHT of the Sports Day held as part of the Knickerbocker Holiday was the
informal seven-a-side informal rugby tournament between the Columbia Rugby Club,
Villanova University, Brown University and the Westchester Rugby Club. The event was
organized by John Wellington ’57, president of the Rugby Club. Columbia was second to
Brown in a very close game. This is particularly noteworthy because this is Columbia’s
first year to participate in rugby and Brown had tied Dartmouth for this year’s collegiate
championship.
English Translation
of John Vaio’s Valedictory
President Kirk, Dean Pal¬
frey, Members of the Faculty,
Distinguished Guests, Mem¬
bers of the Class of 1961, Par¬
ents and Friends:
It is not easy to enumerate
the benefits which this Col¬
lege has conferred upon us.
While sheltering us like a par¬
ent, she has enriched us with
knowledge of the sciences and
liberal arts. For like that god¬
dess of whom Lucretius speaks
in these words.
Before you the winds fiee, and
at your coming
The clouds forsake the sky. At
your touch the
Inventive earth sends up sweet
fiowers . . .
Columbia College has driven
away the inexperience of youth
which veiled our minds like a
cloud and has fostered our
development and increased our
understanding and powers of
reason.
We students could not always
be treated with leniency. Some¬
times the College had to en¬
courage us to surmount our dif¬
ficulties and make a vigorous
effort to reach our goal. In like
manner the Greek poet Tyr-
taeus once spurred the Lace¬
daemonians :
Let every man try with spirit
to reach the
Summit of excellence . . .
For when we were about to
give up hope through weariness
and forget the rewards that
awaited us, we would have
failed to reach our objectives
had we not been made to con¬
tinue. Now, since we have fin¬
ished our college work and have
achieved some of the results at
which we aimed, it is possible
for us to see how much we
have been helped.
The College has had other
concerns as well. She has al¬
ways tried to preserve tradi¬
tions which others to their re¬
gret have rashly discarded. As
we shall presently see, our
diplomas are still written in
Latin, a distinction which the
unfortunate men of Harvard
struggled without success to re¬
tain. Not only is this tradition
being maintained here, but
despite great difficulties, the
use of Latin, which was once
of universal importance, has
not been allowed to disappear.
And now, though we bid
farewell, we have the consola¬
tion that we shall not be com¬
pletely parted from the Col¬
lege, for she has bound us to
her by bestowing upon us a gift
which will be of lasting service.
