Dear Alumnus: Two new Liverpool, N.Ύ. schools designed by the Syra- cuse architectural firm of Sargent, Webster, Crenshaw and Folley are among the latest buildings to use Lenroc Stone. Of particular interest is the unique curtain wall con- struction using Lenroc Panelwall Essentially, the wall is built of large panels of thin stone slabs, backed with insulation, and anchored by simple clips to metal struc- tural studs. These studs, in turn, support the roof struc- ture and interior finish. This new type of curtain lυaΐl construction has been promoted by our company because it is truly low in cost, permanent, and may be quickly erected. Its overall wall thickness of 6" creates more useable interior floor space Chestnut Hill Junior High School-Liverpool Central School, District No. 1. ARCHITECTS: Sargent, Webster, Crenshaw & Folley-Syracuse than conventional thicker masonry walls. CONTRACTORS: Irish Construction Co.—Syracuse On a recent school bid in New Jersey, the cost of Lenroc Stone Panelwall was one fifth the cost of a metal curtain wall system that employed aluminum panels and extruded mullίons . . . a product so highly publicized recently by lenroc stone the large metal companies. Everlastingly Beautiful—Distinctive With stone and modern construction techniques, you can achieve a-fine architectural effect at surprisingly low cost. It is worth your investigation.

ON YOUR NEWSSTAND MAY 17! OWNER-MANAGER BRUCE A. PARLETTE '32 this is what I mean by opportunity ."

says New England Life General Agent THOMAS H. GILLAUGH (Dartmouth College '46)

What part has "opportunity" played in your career? "Although Γd had several years of successful experience, it was a big step for me when, at 27, I was made manager of an established New England Life general agency in my home city of Dayton. Three years later I was named general agent. But most significant we — myself and my agents — are free to profit by our own initiative day by day, with constant and positive support from the company. I look forward to an in- creasingly rewarding future."

How about future opportunities? "Opportunity is a continuing thing with New England Life. We build our clientele on a professional basis. Remuneration is cumulative, part coming from maintenance of policies in force, part from repeat sales to established clients and part in developing business from new sources. You might say that the agent sets his own pace for advancement."

What is the promise for a man about to enter the business? "Actually, there never was a better time to go to work for New England Life. Our dynamic growth in recent years — 28% gain in new business in 1955 — our District Agency Development Plan, our superlative policy contract are three of several factors which should be interesting to the man considering a new career. I would suggest that such a man write directly to Vice President L. M. Huppeler, 501 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts for further details."

Professor John M. Kuy- pers, then head of the Music Depart- ment and now at University of Illinois, was the moving force behind the first Festival. So far as Professor Hartell knows, "the Cornell Festival of Con- temporary Arts was the first in the United States that tried to deal with all the arts." The original lack of opportun- ity still holds at the University in many fields of contemporary arts, and the Fes- tival continues to fill out the students' general education, he says.

Famous People Have Come The thousands of Campus dwellers and out-of-town visitors who have come to the Festivals through the years have heard such outstanding persons as Peter Viereck, Archibald MacLeish, Allen Tate, Katherine Anne Porter, Vladimir Nabokov, Doris Humphrey, and Ross Finney.
