Huntington Crouse Hall

Farewell to Lyman, welcome to Crouse. This fall the Department is to move to the new classroom building now being built back of the Hall of Languages. But to keep one similarity to Lyman Hall, Geography will also be on the third floor; fortunately the ceilings are lower so that there will not be so many steps to climb.

The Department will have separate offices for each of the Staff, and there will be a large graduate work room, two cartographic laboratories, a seminar room, a room for map storage, a kitchenette, and other facilities. Unfortunately the departmental library and map collections will remain in Lyman Hall for the present.

Huntington Beard Crouse Hall faces the main quadrangle next to the chapel, and is a brick building parallel to the recent engineering building known as Hinds Hall. There are large classrooms on the ground floor and basement, while the second floor is devoted to foreign languages and faculty offices. Completion is promised for September, and work is well on schedule. Concrete for the third floor was poured in March.

In the artist's drawing, shown below, the Departmental office occupies the right hand corner room on the quadrangle side.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF GEOGRAPHY AT SYRACUSE

Geography at Syracuse dates back to the early years of the Twentieth Century. It is at least as old as Lyman Hall, which was built in 1907. As at many institutions, geography grew out of geology, and by 1931 it became clear that geography was entitled to separate recognition. With this new status a regular program of graduate work was initiated, and the policy was established that the Syracuse master's degree would be second to none in the country. Later on came the development of graduate assistantships, a field course, seminars, etc. With these standards Syracuse came to be recognized as one of the ranking graduate centers in geography at the junior level. ·

In 1944 Syracuse University decided to capitalize on its geographic accomplishments. The graduate program was thus expanded to include the doctorate, at the same time maintaining the high standards which had served to give the department its unique reputation. This step was accomplished by the formal separation of geography from geology, and the establishment of a separate department. The breadth of geography was recognized by its inclusion in the Social Science Division of the College of Liberal Arts and the ·Department's admission to the Maxwell Graduate School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.

Geography a,t Syracuse looks forward along several lines. A major contribution is to provide some understanding of man and the .earth to undergradu.ates. In its elementary courses geography contributes an, essential part of general education. At the graduate level the department continues to train the teachers and scholars of tomorrow.

The traditional contribution of geography lies in the academic field, but increasingly there are applications in government and business. Syracusans have served on numerous state and city planning boards, and in many federal agencies. Industrial location, transportation and market analysis also present geographic problems. ·

Syracuse geographers have made contributions to research and writing, and their travels cover every continent.

During the past year Professor J ames lectured at two dozen colleges and universities and presented papers at the A.A.A.S. meetings in New York, and the N .C.S.S. meetings in Boston. He has published several papers and is now writing a book on cultural geography. He was made an honorary member of the Italian Geographical ,Society at Rome in July, 1960. Dr. James visited Puerto Rico and the Caribbea n Islands to attend a conference on land use and to consult -on the construction of land surveys. ERIC H. FAIGLE (Professor; M.A. Syracuse; Ph.D. Michigan) continues as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts. In addition he has been made Vice President in charge of Student Affairs. Professor Faigle continues his interest in Canada and in New York State, which he presents to large and enthusiastic classes. Academic responsibilities ·frequently take him across the country. GEORGE B. CRESSEY (Maxwell Professor; M.S. and Ph.D. (geology) Chicago; Ph.D. (geography) Clark; D .H.L., Denison) spent most of the summer in Far Asia. In July, he attended the International Geographical Congress in Stockholm and took part in its Iceland Excursion. In August he and Mrs. Cressey went on to Moscow for the International Congress of Orientalists ahd a field trip to the Caucasus. The high point of the summer was when the Cresseys flew to Siberia and the Mongolian People's Republic, where they travelled a thousand miles by jeep. Before returning to Syracuse, Prof. Cressey spent two weeks in Saudi Arabia where he again visited the Rubal Khali . His new book entitled CROSSROADS: LAND AND LIFE IN SOUTHWEST ASIA has been published by Lippincott, and he is now in the midst of a major revision of ASIA'S LANDS AND PEOPLES and HOW STRONG IS RUSSIA? His total publica tion list , including shorter reviews and notes, now numbers 200 "titles." Lecture engagements during the winter include two trips to the Pacific; Coast, as well as frequent visits to ~as tern universi ties.

Standing in the above photo are Professors David J, de Laubenfels , Douglas B. Carter, Donald W. Meinig, and Peter R. Gould. Seated are Jessie Watkins (Librarian), Professors John H. Thompson, George B. Cressey (Maxwell Professor), Preston E. James (Chairman), and Lillian B. Morey (Administrative Assistant).

JOHN. H. THOMPSON (Professor ; M.A. Colorado; Ph.D. Washington) is putting together a volume on New York State, to be called THE EMPIRE STATE, A GEOGRAPHY, and is a lso working on the economic status of Upstate New York at mid-century which made front page news in The New York Times during January. Last summer Prof. Thompson had charge of the Field Course at Potsdam, after which he attended the International Geographical Congress in Stockholm and travelled in England, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France and Spain.

DouGLAS .8. CARTER (Associate Professor; M.A. and Ph.D. Washington) spent the Christmas vacation in driving to Spokane, five days each way through the snow, in climatic contrast to his summer at the Laboratory of Climatology in Centerton, New Jersey. His current research involves the transfer to punch cards of the climatic data for New York State, and the preparation of nine climatic plates for the Encyclopedia Britannica. He has a monograph in press on the Water Resources of Southwest Asia.

DONALD W . ME1N 1G (Associate Professor; M.A. and Ph.D. Washington) is engaged in research on the historical geography o{ the Columbia Basin. His most recent publication was "Colonization of Wheatlands: Some Australian and American Comparisons," Australian Geographer, VII, (1959); this is the precursor of a volume to appear in the AAG Monograph Series entitled SOUTH AUSTRALIAN COLONIZATION. The Meinig family includes three girls.

DAVID J. DE LAUBENFELS (Associate Professor; M.A. and Ph.D. Illinois) has three areas of research interest. The first is vegetation geography in which he is concerned with concepts of classification, such as "The Similarity Between Lighter Tropical Forests and Temperate Forests," which formed a paper at the Dallas Meeting. Second, he teaches Urban Geography. The third, interest has resulted in his publication in FOCUS of an essay on New Zealand, in which he stressed the phenomenon of the humid west coast areas. Prof. de Laubenfels took his family, which includes a son and daughter, to Potsdam during the field course last summer.

ELEANOR HANLON (Assistant Professor; M.A. Syracuse; Ph.D. Clark) Dr. Hanlon is on her second year's leave of absence from the Department, and now with Resources for the Future in Washington, where she has become an enthusiastic interpreter of the role of geography in conservation. Field work and conferences take her far and wide, with occasional visits back to Syracuse.

PETER R. Gourn (Assistant Professor; Ph.D. Northwestern) is the author of several publications growing out of his field work in Africa. The chief contribution is his volume entitled THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TRANSPORTATION PATTERN IN GHANA. He is also putting together a volume of readings on Contemporary Africa, due to appear this summer. Prof. Gould's special interest centers around the statistical aspects of geography. The Goulds announced their second child, a son, in October.

SmLEY MACFARLANE (Ph.D. 1960) Department of Geography, Utica College, has been promoted to Associate Professor, and spent the summer traveling 12,500 miles around the United States and taking pictures for his classes. He is writing a chapter on the Utica Metropolitan area for the new textbook on New York State. Although Professor MacFarlane is not often in Lyman Hall, he has been a member of the Syracuse faculty since 1953.

LILLIAN B. MOREY (Administrative Assistant) Mrs. Morey is completing her sixth year . with the Department; without her cheerful willingness to remember a thousand details, the operational wheels would fail to go around. When snow storms close the road to Cicero and Lillian is unable to get to Lyman Hall, the Department might just as well call it a day.

CAROL LINZY came to the Department in November to assist with the vast amount of typing and general office details. She is fast learning the intricacies of office life in the Geography Department.

MARGARET TURNER, as secretary to Dr. Cressey, keeps busy with his world-wide cor. respondence.

JESSIE B. WATKINS (Librarian; B.A. Keuka; M.A. Syracuse) devotes much of her time to the growing m_ap collection in Lyman Hall Library where new map cases are piled so high that one needs steps to peer into the upper drawers. She reports that the University receives 86 geographical periodicals.
