R ot Second ChoiceThe February issue of Harpers mag
azine made public a fact which URalumni have been well aware of thesemany years: that the University of Rochester is a school good enough for eventhe most talented high school student.In an article titled "Good Colleges ThatAre Not Crowded," free-lance writerMartin Mayer states that the UR shouldnot be considered a second choice tosuch "prestige" institutions as the IvyLeague colleges.
Mayer says that roughly one-fifth ofall places in entering classes go vacantevery year, with a surprising number ofthese vacancies in first-rate schools.
The UR's College of Arts and Science, he notes, accepted 1,130 applicants in 1958 to get 572 enrolled freshmen.
"Rochester's position is such," hewrites, "that it can attract more thana thousand highly able applicants, and82 per cent of these who finally enrolled were in the top fifth of theirhigh school classes. Other collegeswhich lose half their admitted candidates, however, wind up with a studentbody unable to take full advantage ofthe opportunities offered by the school."
The UR is not a school with vacancies in the entering class, according toCharles R. Dalton, Director of Admissions. "We haven't had any vacantspace in a long time," he added.
There is a fast-growing habit amongthe qualified high school student tomake application to two or more highlyrated schools. Thus, in order to securea class of entering students of the sizecalled for in the projections of studentenrollment, the Office of Admissionsnormally must offer admission to morestudents than will actually appear forthe opening of college in September.Carefully worked-out formulas havebeen devised by Mr. Dalton to assurean entering class of high quality thatdoes not deviate by more than one ortwo per cent from the number calledfor. Generally, this means two offers ofadmission for every freshman who actually registers. The 1,130 who wereoffered admission were selected from2,134 applications..
Arrange(d) for Summer
Long concerned with the problemsof the composer, the Eastman School ofMusic this summer will focus attentionon the arranger with a two-week long
laboratory-workshop. Four ensembleswill be available as demonstrationgroups and will perform scores prepared by the participants-a large orchestra of the type usually associatedwith recordings of the music of LeroyAnderson, a smaller orchestra, a danceorchestra for music of the popularidiom, and a concert-marching band.
Rayburn Wright, chief arranger forthe Radio City Music Hall, will headthe workshop. Assisting will be EverettGates, Associate Director of the MusicEducation Department of the EastmanSchool, and Donald Hunsberger, former arranger for the Marine Band. Dr.Richard Hill of the Library of Congress will lead a seminar on the copyright law.
For Better HealthResearch at the University in the
problems of health was implemented inthe last quarter of 1958 by grants totalling $119,755 from the National Institutes of Health.
In October, grants totalled $47,206.Almost half of this amount will go toDr. Scott N. Swisher, Assistant Professor of Medicine, for study of the interactions of antibodies and blood cells.
Work on the structure and functionof hemins and hemoproteins by Dr.Elmer H. Stotz, Chairman of the Department of Biochemistry, received agrant of $15,925. A grant of $7,994was awarded Dr. Victor M. Emmel,Associate Professor of Anatomy, forresearch on kidney changes related tovitamin E deficiency.
Dr. John H. Flavell, Assistant Professor of Psychology, received a grantof $1,969 in the field of mental healthfor a study of meaning and its relation to word association.
Also during October, fellowshipawards were made to Jean LouiseHarris and William H. R. Nye for postdoctoral study in medicine at the UR.
Continued support in the amount of$37,030 came during November. Thesum of $13,030 was awarded for studyof contrast media for cerebral angiography, directed by Dr. eorge H. Ramsey, Chairman of the Department ofRadiology. Work on physiologic effectsof vascular contrast media will be supported by a grant of $24,000. This research is being directed at the DR byDr. Frank 1. Campeti, Research Assistant Professor of Radiology and researchassociate in medicine.
The largest of the three grants by the
ational Institutes of Health duringDecember was one of 17,962; it willsupport research being directed by Dr.Robert B. Duthie, Chairman of the Division of Orthopedics, on the properties of heterotransplanted skeletal tumors.
A study of cortical recording frommultiple electrodes by Donald W. DeMott, Research Associate in Psychology,received $14,347; and research on invitro cultivation of human thyroidepithelial cells directed by Dr. LesterM. Cramer, Instructor in Plastic Surgery, received $7,210.
Operation: ResearchFrom $2,700,000 in 1952, sponsored
research at the UR has grown to morethan $5,500,000 in the current fiscalyear. There are about 250 sponsoredprojects in fundamental research andtraining currently underway at the UR.These projects are being undertaken by340 scientists, 165 technicians, as wellas many graduate students. The researchbudget, which comprises more thanone-fifth of the University's total annual operating costs, is financed largelyby funds from government, industriesand foundations.
The past month has seen severalchanges in the administrative officerswho coordinate these research activities.
David A. McBride, Jr., was promoted to the post of Director of ResearchAdministration. He succeeds La Roy B.Thompson who will devote full time tohis duties as Associate Treasurer of theUniversity. Richard J. Susat has beennamed Assistant Treasurer of the University.
McBride has been a member of theUR administrative staff since 1956 andwas named Assistant Director of Research Administration a year ago. Agraduate of Cornell University in 1943,he was associated with the pfaudlerCompany in liaison work with engineering, production and sales divisions before joining the UR staff.
Research has been the preoccupationof La Roy Thompson since coming tothe UR in 1949. In 1957 he assumedthe duties of Associate Treasurer of theUniversity while continuing in the position of Director of Research Administration to which he had been appointed in 1954.
Susat received a Bachelor of Sciencedegree in Business Administration fromthe DR in 1951; he became a memberof the research administration staff the
same year. His promotion reflects atransfer of the business and financialactivities from the research administration office to the Treasurer's office. Hewill also assist the Treasurer with newbuilding projects that are currently being planned to be undertaken in thenext decade.
UR in Big 10 in PhysicsThe University of Rochester Physics
Department ranked tenth among theleading universties of the country inthe extent of research contributions byits members, according to a survey byFortune magazine.
A table in the November issue of themagazine giving the leading 20 contributors of papers to The Physical Review, the nation's most important journal of theoretical and experimentalphysics, shows the UR well up in thelist of non-industrial research with atotal of 43 papers printed in the Reviewin 1956 and 1957.
The other universities listed were theUniversity of California, MassachusettsInstitute of Technology, the Universityof Chicago, Columbia University, theUniversity of Illinois, California Institute of Technology, Harvard, Yale andPrinceton. The other lOon the list aregovernment laboratories or U. S. industries.
aid Dr. Robert E. Marshak, Chairman of the UR Physics Department:
"The members of the University ofRochester Physics Department are to becongratulated for the impressive contributions which they have made-andare making-to basic research in theUnited States. The community shouldtake pride in the fact that the University has achieved such standing in animportant phase of the activities of itsCollege of Arts and Science."
R Host To ConferencesIn the past few months the UR has
been the host to five important conferences in fields of diverse interest.
In November the University sponsored the fifth annual Canadian-American Studies Conference. Participatingwere some 20 historians representing 17colleges in this country and Canada.
The purpose of the conference was todiscuss problems which are faced byCanadian and American scholars andacademic administrators.
Cinefluorography-the use of motionpicture equipment in conjunction with
x-ray-was the subject that attracted250 experts from both this country andabroad to the UR campus in November. The conference, the first of itskind, was sponsored by the Departmentof Radiology of the chool of Medicine and Dentistry.
The symposium was designed to acquaint radiologists with the techniquespioneered at the UR Medical Center forusing the equipment, as well as processessing the motion pictures taken, andtheir clinical uses. The UR RadiologyDepartment was for many years theonly such group able to film x-rays aswell as process the motion picture film.
Scholars representing the 29 membersocieties of the American Council ofLearned Societies traveled to Rochesterin January for the 40th annual meetingof the group. The Council, which wasfounded in 1919, is a federation of 29societies in the humanities and socialsciences, representing some 60,000scholars. Each year they award $10,000prizes to ten scholars for distinguishedwork in the humanities, as well as fellowships and grants-in-aid.
One of the 21 fellowships chosenfrom more than 300 applicants wasawarded to Dr. George Harry Ford,Professor of English at the UR, duringthe conference.
The major public event of the threeday meeting was the address by Dr. J.Robert Oppenheimer in trong Auditorium. A standing room only audienceheard him speak on "Tradition andDiscovery."
Of special interest to the UR familyis the fact that President de Kiewiet isa former chairman of the board of directors of ACLS.
The College of Education was hostat the University's Woodward Housein LeRoy for a conference of the NewYork State Collegiate Association forthe Development of Educational Administration.
Some 50 educators who are concernedwith training for school administrationin the state's public and private teachertraining institutions attended the twoday meeting in January.
In February, Protestant, Catholic andJewish religious leaders took part in athree-day Campus Conference on Religion. The theme of the conferencewas "How Are We to UnderstandMan?" Major speeches were presentedin Strong Auditorium each evening; thepoints of view expressed approachedthe topic in the light of contemporaryculture, psychiatry and philosophy andtheology.

Dr. Cornelis W. de Kiewiet has beennamed to the newly-established Councilon Higher Education which will advisethe New York State Board of Regentsand the tate Education Department asto the wisest policy and best methodsfor aiding the colleges and universitiesin the state to meet the increasing demands of higher education. President deKiewiet has also accepted an invitationto serve as chairman this year of theNew York committee of selection forthe Rhodes Scholarships.
Dr. Lee B. Lusted, Assistant Professor of Radiology, has been elected aFellow of the Institute of Radio Engineers; he is the first physician to be sohonored. His election is in recognitionof his technical achievements and leadership in relating medicine and electronics. Dr. Lusted has carried on investigations in the medical applicationsof x-ray movies, and recently in programing the logical reasoning processesof medical diagnosis for use on electronic computers.
The title of Fellow of The . NewYork Academy of Sciences has beenadded to the list of honors bestowedon Dr. George W. Casarett, AssistantProfessor of Radiation Biology. Outstanding work toward the advancementof science is the basis of this recognition. His most recent research has beenconcerned with the pathologic effects ofradiation, and particularly the mannerin which radiation affects aging processes.
Russian Language Courses
The recent visit to the United Statesof Anastas I. Mikoyan, Deputy Premierof the U.S.S.R., may have compoundedthe confusion of understanding Russiancold war policy, but 106 UR studentswill, at least, understand the Russianlanguage. They are students enrolled incourses in Russian language.
In the College of Arts and Science40 are enrolled in Elementary Russianand 14 are continuing studies startedlast year; University School has 52 students in first year Russian. All classesare taught by Prof. Antanas Klimas.
According to Professor Klimas, thesharp increase in enrollment in Russianas compared with the 10 per cent increase chalked up by foreign languagesas a whole can be attributed to Sputnik.Most of those enrolled are scientists.

Time to Play "Play" means one thing to Ralph Winkler-the violin! Above, he plays in the Philharmonia Orchestra undet· the baton of Dr. Howard Hanson. He also plays in the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, and he has played many recitals both in Rochester and in Ohio. To playas well as Ralph Winkler does requires a great deal of hard work plus a generous amount of talent, ambition and faith. How he combines allthese qualities is indicated on the following pages. Winkler is the violinist second from the left above.
Prestissimo.. , the fast tempo of activities oj' a student at the Eastm(ln School oj'Music
T IFE HAS been described as one long symphony-sometimesL melodious, sometimes discordant, sometimes largo} sometimes prestissirno. In the symphony of the life of RalphWinkler, senior at the Eastman School of Music, the current"movement" titled "Performer's Degree" must be labeledprestissirno. If the melody is provided by his wealth of talent,then the harmony is a blending of the great faith, ambition,and zeal that he applies to the many activities that he hasprogramed for each day.
The following pages chronicle some of the activities thathe manages to accomplish during a day-all of which byplan and desire, promote further growth as a violinist, as ateacher, and as a human being. His primary goal is to teachviolin at a college or music school. Towards this end he isplanning graduate study at the Eastman School.
During his high school days in his home town of Dover,Ohio, Ralph Winkler found time to devote many hours tothe practice of the violin, as well as go out for the track team.
It was good preparation, for he has held an Eastman scholarship through all his four years of study towards a Performer'sdegree. His experience on the track team has come in handy,too, for he runs, does not walk, from one appointment toanother. This is the way to get things done.
Winkler is a member of both the Rochester PhilharmonicOrchestra and the top-rated student orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra. He has performed in many recitals bothhere and in Ohio as a violin soloist and as a member of chamber music groups.
A deeply religious young man, he says that if somethingwere to prevent him from realizing his goals in the field ofmusic, he would choose the ministry as his career. He is nowthe president of the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship.
Is Ralph Winkler an unusual student? In many ways yes,but according to Dean Flora Burton of the Eastman School ofMusic, almost one-third of the students hold part-time jobs ofone sort or another.
Time to Pray Time to Work
Their heads bowed in silent prayer, Ralph Winkler and his girtfriend, Margie McCollom, join a group of f1"iends in a prayermeeting held each morning in the lounge of "C" House of theEastmmz Dormitories on University Avenue. Ratph starts his
day at 5:30 a. m. by reading his Bible for at lcast an hour.
Hands tbat cau delicately draw beautiful musicfrom a violin can also manipulate a broom.Money earned as early-morning clean-up manin a downtown dress shop helps augment ,hisscholarship. He has also worked as a bell boy.
Time to Learn Time to Teach
Private instruction is a key to the success of Eastman School students. Once a week Ralph meets with Millard Taylor, concertmaster of the Philharmonic, for an hour of intensive study. Chamber music, too, is on his schedule with classes under John Celantano of the Eastman faculty. Ralph has git·en eight recitals here.
fJ
The picture above gives an insight into Ralph's character andability-his young pupil actually looks interested as he explainsan especially difficult scale. Ralph wishes his busy schedule wouldpermit more than just this one private pupil who some day, perhaps, will follow Ralph's giant footsteps at the Eastman School.
Time to Rehearse Time to Think
From 9:30 to 12:30, Monday through Thursday mornings, Ralphrehearses with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra for the regular Thursday night concert. Several afternoons a week there arerehearsals of the Philharmonic Orchestra. Above, Dr. HowardHanson, conductor of the orchestra, points out a subtlety in score.
Some day Ralph hopes to be giving examinations rather than taking them as he is in the picture above. His goal is to teach at amusic school or college. Towards this end he is studying Theoryand Orchestration this semester. He added a course in German inhopes of winning a Fulbright Scholarship for study in Germany.
Time to Relax Time to Serve
The luxury of a leisurely dinner is enjoyed by Ralph in the company of Margie. Although they don't have time for the usual dates,movies or dances, it is times like these that helps romance blossom. Ralph claims the title of Ilrailroading buff" and in followingthis hobby has built his own model railroad cars and equipment.
Tuesday evening is choir rehearsal night at the Church of theGood Shepherd. Besides directing the choir, Ralph is the organistat two Sunday services. The ministry would be Ralph's secondchoice for a career, but right now he has a running head starttowards achievirtg success in the world of music. Prestissimo!

Opening
the
Doorway
to
SpaceBy Dr. Herbert F. York, '42, '43G
•SPACE-what are the military and scientific potentials?What are the problems and how can we solve them?
We know of the man-made objects in space-the satellitesand the missiles. We are finding out about such things asradiation belts and insolatio1l. We are making a coordinatedeffort to increase our knowledge and understanding of whatlies beyond this, the last frontier to be conquered by man.
The Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of theDepartment of Defense is charged with the military aspectsof our space program as well as being responsible for theadvanced research and development of an adequate ballisticmissile defense system.
Of the two major assignments, the one which is most difficult in that it involves the greater number of our staff of60 is the one of ballistic missile defense. It is an extremelydifficult problem and by describing the threat I hope to giveyou some feeling for what the country is facing in trying tosolve this problem.
The most important facet of the ballistic missiles that makesthe defense against them so difficult is the enormous speedat which they travel. They go roughly 25 times the speed ofsound, or the speed of our fastest airplanes-something like18,000 miles per hour. Putting it in other terms, their speedis five miles per second, so that if you detect it 300 milesaway, let us say, you have exactly 60 seconds in which todetermine-first, that there is a threat; second, the trajectory
\t ...: ~.

The article below is based on aspeech given by Dr. Herbert F. Yorkat the Tmstees' Corporate Relatio1HCommittee Dinner on November 20,1958. At the time of the speech, Dr.York was Chief Scientist of the Ad'vanced Research Projecls Agency in theDepartment of Defense. On January 1
of this year he becallze Director of Defense Research and Engineering. Underthe President's defense reorganizationplan, he is No.3 man in the Pentagon.
Dr. York is in charge of all militaryresearch and development, a programthat is budgeted at over seven billion
dollars a year. It is his prediction thatman may set foot on the moon by 1965and Mars and Venus three years later.
At 37, Herbert York is a veteran of.rome of the nation's biggest scientificefforts. During Wodd If/ar JI heworked on Ihe atomic-bomb project.After re.ceiving his Ph.D. fi'om the University of California he joined its Radiation Laboratory where he worked onthe desif!.n of nNclear warheads formiSJileJ.
He received his B.S. degree from theUR in 1942 and the following year hismaster's degree.
on which the mi.ssile is traveling; third, the action that shouldbe taken; and then to get a missile up and try to make theintercept.
Sixty seconds is an extremely short time in which to accomplish all of this. If you detect it 600 miles away, you are twiceas well off and have a whole two minutes to do all this.
Another feature about the ballistic missile as compared withthe airplane as a threat is that the ballistic missile warhead isvery small-maybe two feet in diameter, maybe six feet, depending on what the Russian weapon design details are. Thisis to be compared with the hundred-foot wing spread of anairplane. Since it is very much smaller, as well as movingvery much faster than the present-day threats; it gives an increased measure of difficulty of detection by present-day radaror by other means.
A missile warhead is also probably a tougher target than anairplane. An airplane is a fairly large and relatively flimsystructure with many large air foil surfaces such as wing, tail,and fuselage, which can be destroyed or broken with a relatively weak shock wave. Likewise-an airplane is manned, andman is also one of the more frail parts of the system.
On the other hand, a ballistic missile nose cone is a small,very compact object; it has no "handles" on it to makedestruction easier. Thus, whatever method is being used todestroy the incoming nose cone-whether it is a nuclear warhead or what have you-it is necessary to get closer. Youhave to make a more accurate intercept.
A fOLl rth point is one that was illustrated by some pictures
that were published in Life magazine a few months ago. Theyshowed the nose cone of a missile fired by the Army fromCape Canaveral in Florida; it went out into space and reentered the atmosphere some thousands of miles away.
The striking thing about these photographs of the re-entering nose cone is that they showed that there was not just oneobject in the sky at the time, but there were three. In thisparticular case, these were the nose cone proper, a compartment containing certain instruments which was separated fromthe nose cone, and the remains of the big rocket which hadbeen used to propel it into space. Of these three, the smallestand least obvious was the nose cone itself.
This means that there is, in addition to all the other problems, the problem of discrimination-how to tell which oneof the bodies re-entering the atmosphere is the one that mustbe destroyed; that is, which is the deadly one.
In addition, you can easily imagine that, if by accident oron purpose, the large rocket case were to disintegrate or beblown up or break up into fragments, there would be a verymuch larger number of objects that must be identified in orderto discern which one must be destroyed.
Compared with any other defense problem we have everfaced this ballistic defense problem is a fantastic one.
The Department of Defense is taking a two-pronged approach to solving this problem. The first makes use of present-day technology and present-day state of the art. Thus, theArmy and the Air Force are developing and building systemsfor detecting and intercepting ballistic missiles. The Army is
building a system that you may recall having heard about under the name of Nike Zeus. Briefly, it is a system of radarsfor detecting the approaching warhead, computing machineryfor determining its trajectory, and a missile for interceptingand destroying it.
Similarly, the Air Force is building another system calledBMEWS (the initials stand for Ballistic Missile Early Warning System). This is a large and high powered radar systemthat is to be located in the Far North for the purpose of detecting an enemy raid when it is, roughly speaking, half wayhere. When it still has several thousand miles to travel, wehave 10 to 15 minutes in which to alert and get all the restof the system ready to make its detection and the intercept.These two systems constitute one prong of the approach tothe problem.
The other prong of the Department of Defense approachis the ARPA program in this field. In brief, it is to sponsorthe research and development necessary to provide the groundwork for building a second generation ballistic missile defense. It is certain that as the threat becomes more sophisticated, as special decoys in large numbers are employed, ashigher speeds are attained, as ways of reducing radar reflection are attained :-then the present system will be very greatlydegraded and it will be necessary to have a much superiorsystem.
The ARPA program includes such matters as investigatingthe phenomena which occur when a nose cone enters theearth's atmosphere; that is, what kind of shock waves itmakes, what this shock wave does to our atmosphere, whatother phenomena take place. Weare stressing these and otherbasic matters in the hope that as a result of this work we willfind some phenomenon which we haven't thought of yet. Weare looking behind as many doors as possible, as fast as possible. Perhaps a discovery in a basic field will provide thekey to making the immediate problem easier, perhaps enableus to simplify the discrimination problem or make it easierto detect and track the incoming missile.
In addition to these more basic aspects, we are emphasizingfurther development in the state of the scientific art of radars,computers, and other components of an over-all anti-missilesystem. This research on basic problems, plus the developmentof better radars-higher powered and of greater accuracywill undoubtedly be needed in order to build the improvedsystem that will become necessary. Details of what we aredoing in this field are largely classified, and that is why Ihave approached it by describing the magnitude of the problem rather than describing our program with any precision.
T· HE OTHER major field, and the one for which we have thelargest budget, is the space program. At present, ARPA
has only the military space program, but it had responsibilityoriginally for the entire national program. ARPA was responsible for setting up the program that led to the last twoof our several scientific satellites, for what will be the nextthree or four satellites, for the three lunar probe attempts bythe Air Force, and for the two coming lunar probes by theArmy.
The present programs of military interest in space are several in number. One of the most interesting to us, and wethink one of the most important, is that of the communications relay satellite. We have several different kinds of satellites in mind here for serving several different purposes. Thebasic idea is simply that for short wave communications, normally the waves do not reach beyond the horizon, which maybe 50 or so miles away, depending on how high the trans-
10
mitter is. The operation of your television set is based on thisfact. What the satellite does, essentially, is to provide a radiostation in space whose horizon is many, many thousands ofmiles away, depending on how high the satellite is. A satellite relay system consists of a transmitter station on theground, which sends messages to the satellite which receivesthem, amplifies them, and then rebroadcasts them in the general direction of earth. This means that any two points onearth which can see the satellite can communicate with eachother, using the satellite as a relay. Our research people believe that the number of simultaneous voice conversationsthat ultimately can be handled by a satellite is as large as thenumber of simultaneous voice conversations carried by theBell system across the United States. It is estimated that fora power consumption of a hundred watts, television programscould be relayed across the oceans. Whether this is somethingwe w~nt to perpetrate on the world is another matter, but thecapability will be there.
The location of such a satellite in space is also of interest.There is a circular orbit out 22,300 miles from the surface ofthe earth which has a rather special property of interest here.It is an orbit in which a satellite revolves around the earth ina period of just one day. Therefore, since the earth also turnsin one day, it appears to stay directly overhead. This is literally true only if it is precisely over the equator, but it isstill more or less true if it is a little north or south. Such asatellite is called a stationary satellite. It has the advantagethat once it is properly positioned it always stays in the sameplace and so the elaborate ground antennas necessary can bepointed at a fixed spot in the sky.
Another kind of communications relay satellite is one whichhas been dubbed the mailbag satellite. This is the satellitewhich contains a tape recorder; when it passes over one pointon earth messages are broadcast to it and recorded on thetape. Then, at some other point in its orbit, when it is queriedby means of a coded electronics key, it rebroadcasts the storedmessage to a ground station.
This type of satellite relay is called the mailbag because itis like mail service-it is a delayed transmission but, since ittakes a satellite only an hour and a half to go around theearth, it is not a very long delay and is suitable for mostkinds of communication.
ANOTHER APPLICATION of satellites of military interest is.tl in the field of reconnaissance. This might be meteorological reconnaissance; it might be reconnaissance for intel·ligence or other purposes of that sort.
The possibility of being able to get out of the earth's atmosphere and look down so as to learn more about how theweather works is something that meteorologists are lookingforward to eagerly. They regard it as a real possibility inliterally revolutionizing the study of meteorology. It has beensuggested to me that when that happens the name should bechanged to meteoronomy in parallel to the way astrology be·came astronomy when it became an exact science.
In the case of meteorological reconnaissance, observationwill obviously include the determination of cloud patternsand, through them, storm patterns and wind directions. Inaddition, observations of a very important matter called insolation will be made. Insolation is the balance between solarenergy (sunlight) received and reflected, and the heat energy radiated away from the earth as infrared. A detailedstudy of insolation should take us a long way toward under·standing how weather "works."
In a much over-simplified way, what weather is can be ex·
plained as follows: In the equatorial regions of the earth,the earth receives more radiation than it reflects and re-radiates. Conversely, in the polar regions it radiates away moreenergy than it receives. What we call weather is simply theaction of the earth's atmosphere in attempting to adjust thisimbalance by carrying the excess from the equator to thepoles. Getting outside the atmosphere and having an over-alllook at these phenomena, and being able to get weather information from the whole earth instead of from just part ofthe continental land masses, will make a tremendous difference in our weather predicting capability.
Another satellite application of military interest is that ofproviding navigational aids. In a sense, this constitutes a stepbackwards, because a satellite provides a new way of doingthe old-fashioned stellar navigation. In a sense, a satellite, onceit is high enough and is orbiting around the earth, becomesa star in that its future position can be predicted for sometime with considerable accuracy. You can, in principle if notin detail, write an almanac and issue it to all sailors.
For this purpose, the satellite will be observed by radiomeans rather than optical means; thus, it can be seen day 01
night, good weather or bad. The position of a ship relativeto the position of the satellite can be determined by makinguse of what is called the doppler effect. This is the effectwhich causes the apparent pitch of a train whistle to changeas it passes by. Thus as the satellite approaches a point on theground the pitch of its radio signal is increased. When it isdirectly opposite, this apparent pitch changes to its true value,the value it would have if it were standing still. As it recedesin the distance, the apparent pitch is lowered. By observingthis change in pitch it is possible to tell where you are inrespect to the satellite and then by referring to the almanacyou can tell where it is and therefore where you are. In thiscase you can gild the lily a little bit and get rid of the almanac by putting on board the satellite a tape recorder whichannounces latitude, longitude, time of day, and altitude asit goes by.
OTHER PROGRAM of general interest is the man in spaceprogram. This program was started by the Department
of Defense but is now under the direction of the NationalAeronautics and Space Agency with the active cooperationand assistance of the Department of Defense.
The initial objective of this program is to determine thecapability of man for doing useful work in space for protracted periods of time, where protracted might mean hoursor it might mean days or weeks; putting it differently, to determine the psychological and physiological reactions of manto the space environment.
The problem about which the least is known is that of thereaction of man to the weightless condition. A satellite inorbit is in a condition of what is called weightlessness or freefall-and that means exactly what it sounds like. Anybodyriding in a satellite would feel as if he were continually falling. The question of how a person will react or how thisfeeling will react on his nerves and his state of well-being_is something that cannot be determined except, in the finalanalysis, by subjecting him to it, and there is no way to geta person in a state of perpetual falling or weightlessness except by putting him in space.
This initial program will use equipment which is alreadylargely either available or 'under active development. Evenso, it will take a few years to work all the bugs out of thesystem and to make it so that it works in a fashion which issufficiently safe for use as a manned orbital vehicle.
The question of what man will do in space once he is therehas been much debated. There are a number of things whichI am sure he can do and will do. For instance, it will be necessary to get man in person to the moon and the planets inorder to explore them adequately.
Another thing that man can do, and that he can do betterthan machines, is to install and repair equipment. At present,the equipment sent up in satellites is so simple that all installation and adjustment can be done on the ground beforelaunching. It is far cheaper to send up a new satellite ratherthan to maintain and repair an old one. In the future, however, satellite payload experiments will become more complex, heavier and bulkier. The point will be reached where itwill be easier, simpler and cheaper to send a man into spacethan to invent and provide automatic means of installation,adjustment, repair, and so forth.
ONE OF THE things that has already been discovered in ourspace program is the belt of radiation which surrounds
the earth. This is coming to be known as the Van Allen beltafter Professor Van Allen of the State University of Iowa,who built the satellite instrumentation which made the discovery.
This radiation consists of particles trapped by the earth'smagnetic field. It is intense at altitudes above 500 to 1,000miles; it extends from there to some tens of thousands ofmiles out; it occurs above the entire earth except at the poles.
It is of special interest to us in the military program because of its high intensity, which has been found to be many"R's" per hour. An "R," which stands for Roentgen, is aunit of radiation. One ttR" is somewhat more than you getin a series of chest x-rays and somewhat less than yOLl get ina series of abdominal x-rays. Five hundred "R's"-roughlyspeaking-is a lethal amount of radiation. In space, between1,000 miles up and some tens of thousands of miles up, theradiation level has been found to be, roughly, some tens ofR per hour. This means that one could accumulate a lethaldose out there in a matter of about one day. However, it appears that the properties of this radiation are such that it willbe possible to shield against it so that some of the early statements publicized about its being a barrier to man in spaceare probably false.
Although much has been made of this radiation, includingits possible effects on man, film and other radiation-sensitiveapparatus, the most important thing has not been emphasized-the fact that it was entirely unexpected! It has beenknown for some time that there were cosmic rays and otherforms of radiation in space, but this particular intense belt oftrapped radiation had not been predicted. It is this fact andthe resulting object lesson that are, I believe, the most important thing about it. Just as the most interesting and mostimportant phenomena that will be discovered will be thosethat were not anticipated, so the most important practical usesof space flight will be those which we do not now anticipate.
Thus, it is my personal belief that, as the future unfolds,the important uses of space, the important applications ofspace technology, will fall into the same category as this scientific discovery and be those things behind doors of whichwe are still unaware. The matters I have spoken of-communications, reconnaissance, navigation, meteorology, etc.-arevery important in a practical sense, but I am certain that themoral of the radiation belt story is that when the history ofspace flight is finally told, the most important use of spaceflight will turn out to be something which has not been mentioned here.

Mass media can change your buying habits by influencing your
I F A MAN does not learn to controlhis mood, other people will! This dilemma is suggested by the very pervasiveness of mood-inducing factors. Ata point in history when medical andengineering progress permits us somepersonal control of the health and habitability problems which in the pastproduced so much misery and intellectual rubbish, our culture is creating increasingly powerful media of visual andauditory communication through whichwe can be subjected to persuasive messages accompanied by adroit mood-inducing embellishments.
It is an accepted truism that man isswayed by his moods, believing nowone thing, now another, depending onhis predominant feelings at the moment. Yet, we all strive to avoid thefickleness, the wavering, the confusionthat mood seems to' impose becausesome self-consistency in belief is a necessary virtue. But, we frequently find itnecessary to re-examine our convictionson the basis of the relation of our innerfeelings to new external facts simply inorder to comprehend current events.Since feelings respond more immediately to both minor and major changesin the world than do convictions, weare faced with a dilemma involving therelative contribution to human behaviorof thought and feeling, of enduringcharacter structure and moment-to-moment adaptability. This dichotomy isidentified in the contrasting positionstaken by modern students of humanpersonality.
An objective definition of mood andthe dimensions of mood changes is theproblem being investigated by Dr. Vincent Nowlis, P"ofessor of Psychology.Assisting hil1't are his wife, Dr. HelenNowlis, Visiting Research Professor ofPsychology, and D,'. Russel Green, Associate Professor of Psychology. TheirUJork at the University is supported bya contract with the Group PsychologyBranch of the Office of Naval Research.

Note, however, that both posltlOnsassume that mood or feeling does influence belief, and that mood, in turn,can be influenced by events.
As a matter of fact, mood is changedby at least three general kinds of events.First, by changes in the physiologicalstatus of the person, as by fatigue, illness or endocrine condition, or as bydrugs, including the commonly usednicotine, caffeine and alcohol. Second,by habitability factor, such as the com'fort, appearance, temperature, humidityand sound characteristics of the home,office or shop. Third, by emotionalevents that include the entire gamut ofpleasures and frustrations. Communications of every sort, from personal letters to radio and television, are potential emotional factors.
Persuasion on the basis of emotionalappeals is one of the oldest arts. Aristotle's "Rhetoric" is still a lively manual with abundant and frank detail onhow to frame a speech without lettingthe members of the aud ience know thatthey too are being framed.
In our own era, results of researchon persuasion by eminent scientists atmany universities are being vigorouslydisseminated to the general public aswell as to the many institutions whichfind these facts useful in their attemptto mold opinion.
For several years psychologists atThe University of Rochester have beenstudying one aspect of the impact ofmood on belief and can now add amodicum of fact to the general intelligence. Our research has been primarily concerned with investigating mooditself, especially the different psychological aspects. My own work has tried todefine mood in a significant way and toidentify what we call the main dimensions of mood.
Whereas former investigators of moodusually assumed one dimension ofmood-the familiar elation versus depression scale-we have looked for andidentified a more complex set of moods.
In an experiment already known tomany UR alumni, we invited the fraternity men on the campus to a series ofmotion pictures. Just before and after afilm was presented each man reportedhow he felt at the moment on a test wecall the Adjective Check List of Mood.It consists of a large number of adjectives which describe feelings such aslight-hearted, annoyed, sad. The motionpictures consisted of a documentary filmon the Nuremberg trials, showingscenes from concentration camps andthe denial of guilt by Nazi leaders; theclever Harold Lloyd comedy, "TheFreshman"; a color film of a majorsurgical operation; a beautiful film onthe face of Lincoln, and so forth. Theresulting 60,000 bits of data were analyzed on a computer.
This experiment, together with ongoing work on such populations as students before and after final exams, industrial workers, alumni at alumni clubmeetings, navy personnel on submarineduty, and aged veterans in a domicilIary, clearly shows that there is moreto mood than simply some degree ofelation or depression. The statisticalmethod of factor analysis, originally developed to identify the components ofintelligence, yields the following independent dimensions of mood.1. CONCENTRATION. This measures thedegree to which the person reports heis attentive, concentrating, earnest, serious and contemplative. It represents thedegree to which he is ready to attendto and process information from a variety of sources, including his ownmemory and thought. It is a mood inso far as it describes a general functional and orienting characteristic ofthe person.2. ACTIVATION. This measures the degree to which the person reports he isactive, energetic and vigorous. It represents the readiness to engage in activity.3. DEACTIVATION, represented by a report of feeling tired, drowsy or sluggish.
4. SOCIAL AFFECTION. This measures apositive social orientation, representedby such words as kindly, affectionate,forgiving.
5. HOSTILITY. This measures a generalnegative social orientation, reported bychecking such words as angry, defiant,belligerent and rebellious.
6. EGOTISM. Self-centered, boastfulegotistic, cocky are key words.
7. PLEASANTNESS. This measures thedegree of elation, as represented by reports of feeling light-hearted, cheerful,elated, refreshed.
8. DEPRESSION, represented by reportsof feeling sad, blue, depressed, lonely.
9. ANXIETY. This measures a generalstate of loss of control, represented byrep0rts of feeling apprehensive, fearful,jittery and clutched-up.
We have been surprised by -the clarity with which so many dimensions ofmood emerge in many populations andin many experimentally induced states.More surprising is the functional independence of each mood. For example,an individual's report of feeling affectionate does not tell us much about howhostile he feels, for one can feel bothaffectionate and hostile simultaneously!
Since this work supplies us withmeasures of mood changes, however induced, we can now examine more carefully the relation of mood to belief orattitude. One of the problems in thepsychology of persuasion is the relationof the amount of emotional appeal ina message to its acceptance. It appears,for example, that the adage that nothingsells like fear itself is true under extremely limited conditions - which isfortunate for us all. Dr. Don Haeffnertested this experimentally. He preparedfour 15-minute tape recorded messageson thermonuclear weapons. Each concluded with an identical recommendation that reasonable steps be taken toestablish an international ban onH-bomb tests. The first 12-minutes ofone tape included accurate informationvividly presented to produce a high degree of anxiety in the audience. It didjust that; but, this fearful audience rejected the concluding recommendationwhile another, hearing the same information presented with a less emotionalappeal, tended strongly to accept therecommendation. Similarly, of the twotapes successfully designed to producetwo levels of guilt and depression, theone producing the greater emotionalchange was the less persuasive. It appears that induction of strong negativemoods can interfere with the attention,
comprehension and acceptance an audience gives to the communicator and hismessage.
There is a more general question,however, involving the relation of anymood change to any belief.)n the studymentioned above, the communicator induced feelings directly related to theissue on which he was about to makea reassuring recommendation. But, howdoes an extraneously induced mood influence belief? Do moods induced bypoor health influence aesthetic beliefs?Does a lasting mood induced by a symphonic concert influence your attitudestoward consumer products as you stopin a neighborhood store on your wayhome? Does the momentary mood induced by a TV comedian influence yourattitudes towards his sponsors' cigarettes and soaps and-more significantly-toward a great variety of products inno way connected with the particularshow? Can change in mood momentarily affect in some way one's whole system of personal beliefs?
We have a tentative affirmative answer to the question based on work inour laboratory under a Charles RumrillFellowship by Dr. Joel Axelrod. Hemeasured the attitudes of several hundred undergraduate women toward alarge variety of consumer products before and after showing the film on the.Nuremberg trials. Although nothing inthe film was directly related to suchproducts, the women showed largechanges in' their attitudes towards suchthings as United States Savings Bonds,and a daiquiri.
Before the experiment began, Dr.Axelrod and I tried to delineate howwe might account for such changes ifthey occurred. The resulting hypothesisstated that since an attitude toward aparticular product is dependent on howthe individual perceives its utility withrespect to various goals of varying importance to himself, then any change inthese goals would in turn influence theattitude. In other words, if the ultimatevalues associated with a product change,the perceived value of the productshould also change. It occurred to usthat moods themselves are often goalsor values since we do things, makethings, buy things in order to achieve astate of concentration or activation, oraffection or to avoid depression andhostility. Indeed, the pursuit of happiness is not only a fundamental right ofall Americans, but is often thrust uponus from all sides as a basic duty. Then,what could be more reasonable than toassume that a 'change in mood induces
a change in value of that mood as agoal?
If, at the present moment, you thereader were asked to evaluate the stateof being depressed or the state of beinghostile as goals, you would quite likelyput low or even negative values onthem: Thus, you would signify theyhave little or no value for you and areto be avoided. However, if now a greatthinker or respected journalist presentedyou with a vivid account of selectedev~ts of the 20th century, you wouldnot only feel a certain amount of depression and hostility, but you wouldalso momentarily change your evaluation of such moods as goals. Perhapsyou would tell yourself that at suchtimes a person should and ought to behostile and depressed. With such ashift in personal values, gentle reader,your momentary attitudes toward adozen long-stemmed roses, a Caribbeancruise, a new refrigetator, and perhapseven toward a cigarette would alsochange. T en minutes of documentaryevidence of post-war pestilence in Europe and Asia can induce a mood thattemporarily changes attitudes not onlywith respect to the trivia and luxuriesof life, but also with respect to one'sself.
I have repeatedly emphasized temporary changes; such emphasis may begratuitous once we have learned tomeasure all the important consequencesof the fact that the activity in whichAmericans spend more time than anyother except sleeping is watching television-most of which definitely induces moods ranging through the wholeknown gamut.
So far we have found the greatestgeneral influence on attitude with essentially negative mood treatments. Howthe induction of such positive states aselation, affection and concentration influence belief is a question for furtherwork. Still more basic is the problem ofidentifying the events and program factors and meanings which induce eachof these moods. What can the teacherdo, for example, whether in the classroom or in the TV studio, to inducethe state of concentration, other thanthrough showmanship, initiation of doit-yourself projects or appeals to fear?The practical goal of all such resear-chis, I believe, two-fold: first, the discovery and dissemination of informationwhich may assist the individual in selfcontrol of mood; second, some increasein the understanding and personal utilization of two interdependent human resources-thinking and feeling.

George F. Bowerman) )92, voices concern over the importanceof sports at the University of Rochester. For him) and allalumni who have wondered about the athletic policy, we reprint the following statement from a special newsletter sent toparents of undergraduate students of River Campus colleges.
To the Editor:
I have been reading with interest andsatisfaction the article "College Athletics: Their Pressure on the High School"by Eugene Youngert in the October Atlantic Monthly. I commend it to facultyand students of the University of Rochester. In view of the fact that I am 90and was graduated 66 years ago, my suggestions, may, I suppose, be scorned asthose of an old fogy. Of course, I realizethat in my last year the student bodynumbered only 153, all males, and thatRochester has many times that numberof students including women, and thatthe whole picture of American life, including life in college, has changed. Buthas it changed for the better?
The article painted a rather bla~k picture of college life. I hope things arebetter at Rochester. I came to commencement a year ago, but that brief stay gaveme no opportunity to observe the everyday life of the college.
In my day we did have some athletics.My only campus activity was playing tennis. There was, I believe, a football team,but it didn't rank high among the colleges and didn't absorb much college interest. In other words, we then had ath1etics in moderation, which is, I believe,as things should be. I should like to bereassured that this is still true at Rochester. I hope so.
GEORGE F. BOWERMAN, '92
The Varsity baseball team-1891
Studies and
MEMBERS OF "the finest football team in University ofRochester history"-unbeaten, untied, and rated among
the top small-college squads in the nation-are still winningplaudits for their performance this year. The second ~nde
feated and untied team in the University's seventy-year hl·storyof intercollegiate football, the Yellowjackets finished the season with an 8-0 record, and a fourth place in the LambertCup ratings for Eastern, small-college football teams. CaptainLarry Palvino was named to the Associated Press 1958 LittleAll-American second team.
The general rejoicing over the impressive record of thisyear's football team, and that of the soccer squad, which wonseven of its eight games, is heightened by the fact that thesevictories were achieved by students who are unsubsidized,unprofessionalized, and unfavored by any form of academicprivilege designed to ease either their admission to the University or their academic progress here.
The University's policy on intercollegiate athletics, whichhas been in effect for nearly fifty years, is predicated on thebelief that a college athletic program should further the bestinterests both of the participating students and of the studentbody as a whole. Specifically, the objectives of Rochester'spolicy are:
1. To afford as many students as possible experience in intercollegiate sports.
2. To devote only as much time to athletics as is necessaryto give participants all the worthwhile values to be derivedfrom such participation, with as little interference with studiesas is possible.
3. To arrange schedules, the playing of which entails onlya minimum loss of time from classes; to play teams of approximately the same caliber, representing institutions wit.hcomparable enrollment, educational standards, and athletICideals.
4. To have the membership of all varsity teams composedof students who are successfully carrying full programs ofacademic work.
To these ends, the University does not subsidize its teams.Members of all athletic squads must meet the same entrance

Sports: Some Serious Considerations
requirements and the same academic standards while in college as the student body in general.
Rochester's policy on intercollegiate sports is guided by aCommittee on Intercollegiate Athletics appointed by the President of the University. Serving on the Committee, in addition to the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, are representatives of the faculty, the Dean of Students' Office, the University Administration, the men's and women's undergraduatebodies, and the alumni. The group meets as needed to determine general policy and to approve athletic budgets, gameschedules, and athletic awards.
That the above tenets are rigorously adhered to is indicated by a few statistics on this year's football team. Thesquad numbered twenty-seven men, of whom fourteen didmost of the playing throughout the season. Because of academic demands, the average player spent only slightly morethan one hour a day at football practice sessions.
Collectively, the team entered the University with a highschool average of 88.7 per cent. Its members hold eighteenacademic scholarships, including four Naval Reserve OfficersTraining Corps Scholarships won in national competition, oneGeneral Motors College Scholarship, eight competitive NewYork State Regents Scholarships, and five University ofRochester academic scholarships.
With eleven members majoring in the sciences, two inmathematics, four in business courses, and ten in liberal artsstudies, the team has a college academic average of C plus.The captain, who is also president of his fraternity, was onthe Dean's list last year; the only sophomore on the startingline is an engineering major and New York State Scholarship winner who is maintaining a B average in his courses.
Physical education has an important place in the University's total program. This fact is attested by the requirementthat each student complete two years of physical educationprior to graduation. Both this basic requirement and theoptional intramural athletic program which supplements itare the responsibility of the Department of Physical Education, whose chairman is also Director of Intercollegiate Athletics. Members of the Department serve primarily as physical
education instructors, with direction of intramural sports andcoaching of intercollegiate athletics as additional functions.
The excellence of Rochester's athletic facilities makespossible a wide range of sports for both men and women.Intercollegiate athletics for men include football, soccer, basketball, swimming, baseball, track, tennis, and golf, in addition to squash and wrestling, which were added this year.Both men and women participate in intercollegiate sailingcompetition. Intramural sports for men include both individual games-tennis, golf, squash, badminton, swimming,and handball-and group sports such as basketball, speedball,volleyball, softball, and touch football.
Women's sports are sponsored by the Women's AthleticAssociation and include archery, badminton, softball, basketball, dancing, field hockey, golf, swimming and diving, tennis, and volleyball. The Women's Athletic Association sponsorship covers both an intramural program and special SportsDays, when Rochester's undergraduate women engage womenfrom comparable colleges in a variety of athletic events.
In both the required physical education courses and theoptional sports activities, the University of Rochester encourages optimum development of its students' physical capacities,insofar as such development is consistent with the University'Seducational goals. Dr. McCrea Hazlett, Dean of the Collegeof Arts and Science, has summed up the Rochester philosophyon athletics in this way:
"A university has many obligations to society, including,as the most important one, the education of its students inthe classroom. At the University of Rochester we are proudof our sports program because it is widely participated in byour students and because these men are students first andplayers afterwards. We enjoy watching our men play gamesnow; we look forward to their contributions to society later.As you watch a Rochester team, please remember that eachplayer is a future teacher, physician, scientist, or engineer forwhom the game is an exciting and valuable extracurricularactivity, not a job."
It is the University'S firm intention that this philosophyshall continue to undergird Rochester's athletic program.

Born in Dayton, Ohio, the son of acivil engineer, Jack Graham's dedication to engineering has brought him afull measure of success and recognition.Since 1956 he has been Vice Presidentof The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, New YorkCity.
Dr. Graham received the degree ofBachelor of Civil Engineering fromOhio State University in 1939; he followed this with graduate study atPrinceton University. In 1946 he joined
whom about one-third will be workingfor the doctorate.
RESEARCH. If the sole functions ofan active research program were to addto man's storehouse of knowledge, thisalone would be sufficient reason for theambitious plans for research at the College. However, the benefits will be substantially greater, since the programwill provide important research oppor·tunities for graduate students, and faculty, and in so doing will also help toproduce the stimulating environmentneeded to keep each staff member intellectually alive and thus to make hima better teacher.
SERVICE TO INDUSTRY AND THECOMMUNITY. So far as industry is concerned, the College's principal aim, ofcourse, will be to educate men who areboth good engineers and good citizens.In addition, however, industry and thecommunity will benefit from specialconferences and short courses on technical subjects, and from increased opportunities for those in industry to consult with members of the engineeringfaculty.
A New Era . ..
"Our emphasis will be on motivatingand preparing the engineering studentfor continued learning-for ed1lcatinghim to become rather than training himto be-so that he may ultimately reachhis maximum competence as a professional man, as a citizen, and as aperson."
This statement by Dr. John W. Graham, Jr., sums up the philosophy underlying his approach to the duties ofthe College of Engineering deanshipwhich he will assume on July 1, 1959.
In announcing Dr. Graham's appointment, President Cornelis W. deKiewiet described it as " anothermajor step In enabling this Universityto meet its multiple responsibilities toour industrial society. Specifically," henoted, "our mission will be three-fold.We will seek to train an increasingnumber of highly qualified engineers,to help assure an adequate supply ofengineering teachers and research specialists, and to provide the campus environment wherein teaching, learning,and research can flourish."
The establishment In 1958 of theCollege of Engineering as an autonomous educational unit was accompanied by plans envisaging increases inthe undergraduate and graduate studentbodies and In the faculty of the College, extension of the graduate program, and increased emphasis on research and consultation. These plansmay be briefly summarized as follows:
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM. TheCollege will continue to concentrate itsefforts on offering a program of superior quality to a relatively small, carefully selected, high-quality studentbody. Its aIm will be to provide astrong foundation In the humanities,the social sciences, and mathematicsand the physical sciences, In combination with a well-integrated programof scientifically-oriented, technological
16
studies In the fields of mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, andelectrical engineering.
As in the past, engineering studentswill receive their initial two years ofbasic instruction in the College of Artsand Science. Such a policy guarantees,for example, that engineering studentsreceive their basic training in physicsand chemistry from especially strongscience departments - departmentsstaffed with teachers of national andinternational reputation. Similarly, itassures engineering majors that theirwork in the humanities and the socialsciences will have the same flavor andstrength for them as for their liberalarts counterparts.
A moderate increase in the College'enrollment will be undertaken, wherebythe undergraduate student body willtotal about 500 by 1965. This compareswith the present enrollment of 27l.
GRADUATE PROGRAM. The same educational values will be sought at thegraduate level as at the undergraduate.The student body will be even morehighly selected and will treat more fundamental problems of a less well-defined nature, problems which call forhighly specialized talents in their solution, and in which the student himselfis given larger responsibilities for selfeducation. A significant aspect of thegraduate program will be the effort tostimulate an increasing number of selected students to prepare for careers inteaching. The engineering teacher, forwhom the nation's need IS becomingacute, occupies the most strategic position from which to make a continuingcontribution to the advancement of theengineering profession and to the welfare of our industrial society.
Graduate work leading to master'sand doctor's degrees will be offered inall three branches of the engineeringprogram; currently, the Ph.D. degree isoffered only In chemical engineering.The projected enrollment for 1965 callsfor 60 full-time graduate students, of

the faculty of Carnegie Institute ofTechnology as an instructor in CivilEngineering; the next year he was promoted to associate professor. Two yearslater he assumed the responsibilities ofA i tant Dean of the College of Engineering as well as continuing withteaching; he held both positions until1955 when he was named Dean of Students. Carnegie Institute of Technologyconferred the degree of Doctor of Science on Dr. Graham in 1950.
Except for a four-year interruptionto serve in the Corps of Engineers, U.S.Army, during World War II, Dr. Graham was employed as a civil engineerby the Fabricated Steel Construction Division of Bethlehem Steel Corp. duringthe time between receiving his C.E. de.:gree at Princeton and joining the faculty at Carnegie Tech. His Army career was marked by promotion from2nd Lieutenant to Major, and he wasawarded the Bronze Star and was madean Honorary Member of the Order ofthe British Empire. He served for 39months in the European Theatre.
The engineering profession has cometo know Dr. Graham through his research work, primarily on the properties of reinforced concrete. He has contributed numerous articles on the subject to professional journals and reference books. His views on "reinforcededucation" have also found their wayinto print: The Jouf11al of EngineeringEducation published his article "What
ome Colleges are Doing About Ethics"in the December, 1957, issue.
In spite of his busy schedule, Dr.Graham finds time to participate inmany organizations, among them theAmerican Society of Civil Engineers,the American Society for EngineeringEducation-he is a member of theCommittee on Ethics-the PennsylvaniaSociety of Professional Engineers, andthe Inspection Committees of the Engineers Council for Profeg-sional Development.

In 1953 Dr. Graham was chosen asone of "Pittsburgh's Hundred Leadersof Tomorrow" by Time Magazineand the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce. Last year Ohio State University'sCollege of Engineering chose him forits Distinguished Alumnus Award.
Dr. Graham is married to the formerRuth Orr; they have three daughters,Judith Ann, 16, Kathleen, 12, and Margaret Louise, 5, and a son, John W.III, 7. Their home at present is in Upper Montclair, New Jersey, where Dr.Graham is an Elder in the PresbyterianChurch. The Graham family will moveto Rochester in July.
BackgroundIt was June, 1914. Millard Ernsber
ger, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Melvin Price, Assistant Professorof Mechanical Drawing and MachineDesign, and Frederick Hinrichs, Jr.,Assistant Professor of Applied Mechanics, had been holding classes inCarnegie Building, opened just threeyears earlier on the old Prince StreetCampus. At graduation ceremonies thatmonth three members of the Class of'14 were awarded bachelor's degrees inmechanical engineering, the first sudidegrees to be given by the Universityof Rochester.
In the almost fifty years since courses
in engineering were first offered at theUR, some 1,600 students have receiveddegrees in mechanical, electrical, andchemical engineering. At present almost25 per cent of the undergraduate menstudents are enrolled in engineeringcourses. On the graduate level, ten fulltime students are working towards theirmaster's degree and six students arecandidates for the Ph.D. degree inChemical Engineering (the only department in Engineering to offer thePh.D. degree at present). And underthe Evening Session program, 65 students are pursuing their master's degreeon a part-time basis.
A recent occupational survey of URengineering alumni indicates that 74per cent are employed as engineers inindustry while 4.2 per cent listed themselves as engineers in small businessesor self-employed in the engineeringfield. A little over 8 per cent are employed by local, state, or federal governments; included in this figure aremembers of the armed forces. Teachingan d/0 r research was listed by 7 percent of the respondents to the questionnaire. Only 5 per cent are employed in fields other than engineering.
Indicative of the stature achieved bymany of its engineering alumni is thefact that the UR was listed as third inthe nation's schools with regard to thepercentage of its graduates among thetotal of all engineers listed in the 1954edition of "Who's Who in Engineering."
In recent years several major stepshave been taken in the development ofthe engineering program. UniversitySchool began offering a master's degreein electrical engineering in 1956. In1957 electrical engineering was reintroduced into the curriculum of theCollege of Arts and Science. And withthe major reorganization effective inSeptember, 1958, the Division of Engineering (heretofore in the College ofArts and Science) assumed independentstatus as a college with separate departments of mechanical, chemical and electrical engineering. Today this collegehas a faculty of 16 full-time and onepart-time members.
Dr. Daniel W. Healy, J r., HoraceW. Leet, and Dr. Shelby A. Millerhead the electrical, mechanical, andchemical engineering departments, respectively. Dr. Lewis Conta will continue as acting dean of the College until the arrival of Dr. Graham in July.
