  • Review Dean’S Message
    SCHOOL OF BUSINESS YEAR IN REVIEW DEAN’S MESSAGE QSB’s Year in Review is more than just a chance to look back on the highlights of the previous 12 months. Each year since 2007, we have also shared details of financial support for the school, as well as donor vignettes that highlight the power of alumni giving. The 2013-2014 Year in Review includes another strong list of accomplishments to reflect on. You will also see that we have entered the final phase of our fundraising campaign. Thanks to the generosity of QSB’s alumni and friends, the “Invest in QSB” campaign has now reached $51 million of its goal of $65 million. Funds raised are being directed toward four strategic priorities: increasing student diversity in the Commerce program; establishing more scholarships for the full-time MBA program; attracting and retaining the best faculty; and further developing innovative teaching methods. I’m particularly excited about this last initiative, which will enable us to revolutionize a traditional teaching tool: the case study. The Living Case initiative was developed in response to a growing student demand for technology-based learning and classroom discussions that focus on current, real-time events, driven by easy and immediate access to information. Living cases build on the latest market developments, drawing on SEC filings, analyst and news reports, social media and company information, to foster an enhanced understanding of strategic and operational decision-making and integration of activities across entire business systems. The Living Case initiative is just one of the ways we are transforming the traditional classroom into a dynamic learning environment to provide our students with unparalleled opportunities.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1995 NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS WASHINGTON D.C. WALTER M. ELSASSER March 20, 1904–October 14, 1991 BY HARRY RUBIN ALTER ELSASSER WAS TRAINED as a theoretical physicist Wand made several important contributions to funda- mental problems of atomic physics, including interpreta- tion of the experiments on electron scattering by Davisson and Germer as an effect of de Broglie’s electron waves and recognition of the shell structure of atomic nuclei. Circum- stances later turned his interests to geophysics, where he had important insights about the radiative transfer of heat in the atmosphere and fathered the generally accepted dy- namo theory of the earth’s magnetism. He devoted a major part of the last fifty years of his life to developing a theory of organisms, concentrating on the basic features that dis- tinguish between living and inanimate matter, and he pro- duced four books on the subject. While his contribution to biology was not widely acknowledged, he felt it would even- tually be seen as his major scientific achievement.

    DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY CORNELL UNIVERSITY ITHACA, NEW YORK 14850 NE WSL. E: T TEH Issue No. 2 August 1968 The response to the first issue of the Chemistry Department Newsletter was extremely gratifying and well worth the effort put into it. As promised, the Newsletter will come out twice a year, each issue about a month before the national American Chemical Society meetings. A number of "lost11 names turned up as a result of the first issue and also some very interesting letters, parts of which have led to stories in Lauby's Recollections column. It .even generated visits by some of you. I hope all of this keeps up; we'd like to hear from and see more of you. Another result of the first Newsletter was the tremendous attendance at the Cornell Social Hour at the San Francisco meeting. While other social hours have been well attended, the one in San Francisco was pleasantly crowded. It made for renewal of many old friendships and the making of some new ones. We're hoping for an even bigger and better one at the Atlantic City meeting. There the Cornell Social Hour is scheduled for 5:30, Tuesday afternoon, September 10, in the Diamond Jim Brady Room of the Shelburne Hotel. The plans for Baker renovation are moving rapidly. The reno- vation has gone out for bid and bids are due back at about the time this Newsletter will be mailed. The contract should be signed shortly thereafter. The actual renovation will start in late August or very early September.
