Time used it in the somewhat more dubious sense of "any music which is noncom­ mercial, " i.e., music following in the European tradition or represented primarily by notation rather than improvisation. Hanson would have used the word to mean the tradition itself. So far as I know, he never called his own music (or that ofhis students) "classical." I never had the good fortune to be one ofhis personal students, but I know that Dr. Hanson was an avowed roman­ ticist and would have preferred to be thought of as coming under that aegis. There is a ter­ minology problem here, but when the music of Howard Hanson is performed, "classical" is hardly the term that comes immediately to mind. And in a sense all ofus at Eastman were Han­ son students. Eastman was Hanson's school in a way unlike any other school at that time that I know of. Going to Eastman meant certain things which you stood for, which you believed. Ifyou weren't a Hansonite already, you were almost sure to become one in short order. There was no compulsion about this. Itjust happened, and it happened to most of us. Then too, he had such a way ofmaking us feel part ofa family. We were in this thing together.

Th~ War Memorial, which is directly across the river from the Rochester Public Library, a handsome 1930s structure built over an old mill race is also on the edge ofan ambitious Ci~ic Center, which, after decades of pro­ tracted delay, was brought to partial completion in the 1960s. The Civic Center occupies land in the old Third Ward, that original and elegant residential neighborhood on the Erie Canal. Despite neglect and decay, the encroachment ofboth the Civic Center and a four-lane highway, and, later, protests of "gentrification," pockets ofthe famous "ruffled shirt ward" again form a charming residen­ tial enclave. There's new building go­ ing on there too, and the Third Ward is the focus for activities of the area's vigorous Landmark Society. Two hotels, some new apartments, more riverside parks, and a trendy revolving restaurant atop First Federal Plaza from which to scan the skyline from Lake Ontario to the Bristol Hills form more of the Genesee's new river­ bank silhouette as it passes through downtown.

The im­ Gothic folly that served as the city's petus for this revitalized area, which

3 includes the Grove Street PreservatiQn District, was the renovation ofthe Eastman Theatre in the early 1970s through a $2.3 million grant from Eastman Kodak and the $5 million in­ vestment by the University in renovating the rest ofthe Eastman School. An extensive cultural district already exists in the area surrounding the pro­ posed new center, forming perhaps Rochester's most notable and highly developed attraction for resident and visitor alike. The town that has borne the nicknames of Kodakville and Flour City (which later underwent an ortho­ graphic, ifnot a phonetic, change to Flower City) is increasingly earning a new name for itself as Museum City. A cornerstone ofRochester's flourishing complex ofmuseums is of course the University's Memorial Art Gallery, a unique blend ofuniversity museum and community art center, which functions as the major public art museum in west-central New York. The George Eastman House on nearby East Avenue was bequeathed to the University in 1932 and was used as the home ofUniversity presidents until 1949. By provision ofMr. Eastman's will, the mansion could then be turned to other uses, and it has since housed the independently incorporated Inter­ national Museum ofPhotography.

For the earthbound, Park Avenue, which starts a few blocks to the east, offers richly varied The Rochester Museum and rows of shops, art galleries, restaurants, and lovingly restored residences. Science Center, with programs geared to family recreation and education, is creating an ever-expanding urban campus amid garden surroundings on East Avenue. The functionally and ar­ chitecturally significant Strasenburgh Planetarium, the world's first com­ puterized planetarium, was added to the complex in 1968. The new Gannett School of Science and Man, where in­ formal courses based on museum sub­ jects are taught, features classrooms surrounding a skylit atrium and incor­ porates a billiard room and palm court from a Victorian home that was used for decades as a school for girls.

Located a few downtown blocks from the Eastman School and the proposed cultural district, the Strong Museum will ex­ hibit a unique collection in one ofthe most significant new museum struc­ tures ofthe past decade. Planned as a comprehensive institution illustrating the popular as well as the esoteric tastes ofthe last century, it will focus on the American decorative arts from the beginning ofthe machine age (about 1815) into this century. The heart of the new museum's possessions are the staggering collections (about 300,000 objects, including the world's largest doll collection) amassed by the late Margaret Woodbury Strong.

5 Signs ofhope for downtown: a new center-city apartment complex overlooking the river near Main Street, and, springing up around the East­ man School, the beginnings ofan ambitious new "cultural district," sparked by the renovation of the school and theater in the early 1970s.

9 .'3. As one of the nation's distinguished research universities, Rochester is involved in the search for solutions to some ofour most persistent problems. Some of the short-term projects will, it is ex­ pected, bring a tangible local benefit in the near future (e.g., a study ofpollution in Irondequoit Bay); others are aimed toward the long term. In a six-story building at the University's Cancer Center, for instance, over a hundred investigators are at work on basic research projects in the natural history and behavior ofmalignancies, looking toward the eventual conquest of this most "dread disease." In the College ofEngineering and Applied Science, a research pro­ gram that may well someday prove directly useful to a number of Rochester-based industries is the Production Automation Project, an undertaking that bridges computer, electrical, and mechanical disciplines in computer-aided design and manufacture.

10 4. Tyra Gordon began life half-way around the world in a small way-very small. She weighed in at a featherweight three pounds when she was brought to Strong from Calcutta by her new parents, who adopted her shortly after birth. Suffering from an intestinal disorder and too weak even to suck from a bottle, Tyra was a sick baby. Thanks largely to the hospital's Nutritional Support Service (which provides complete nutrition safely by IV route to patients who can't otherwise eat), she made a fast recovery: Within two weeks she was alert, cuddly, and a full pound heavier. Tyra was cared for in the Intensive Care Unit for newborns at Strong, the only such unit in the region and "home," during their first few months, for the quintuplets born at the Medical Center last spring. 5. In town for a cOI\cert, Itzhak Perlman gives a private performance for young patients at Strong Memorial Hospital. Although it acts as a regional referral service for pediatric patients, Strong Pediatrics also wages an energetic and highly visible campaign to keep youngsters OUT of the hospital through community education in accident and disease prevention, and fostering healthy habits in everyday living. 6. In the last 130 years the University has grown from a small local college to a university of national reputation. But its roots remain in Rochester, and substantial numbers of area students receive all or part of their education at UR. Some thirteen percent of River Campus undergraduate students, for example, are from Monroe and its im­ mediately surrounding counties. In addition, about 1,800 area residents, most of whom have full-time jobs, take advantage of the University's programs for part-time students, primarily for career development but often enough just for the pleasure oflearning.

Wilson '31, former chairman ofthe University Board ofTrustees and Board chairman ofXerox Corporation) wasjust one ofthe hundreds of occasions during the year when UR invites its friends and neighbors to join in events on the River Campus-from carillon concerts and picnics on the Quad (see p. 26) to poetry readings, films, dance, drama, lectures, art exhibits, concerts, recitals, seminars, and workshops. 10. To Rochester music-lovers, the Eastman 'Theatre is home ground, an elegantly ap­ pointed concert hall distinguished by its gild­ ed and coffered ceiling, brilliant murals, and Czechoslovakian glass chandelier. For a period of nearly sixty years the theater has been the center for major musical events-by Eastman School performers, by a glittering parade ofvisiting artists, and by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Opera Theatre ofRochester, the Rochester Oratorio Society, and other regional ensembles. 11. The Eastman School of Music's lively and imaginatively staged opera performances have been known to draw SRO crowds to the 3,000-seat Eastman Theatre. But opera is only one ofthe many different kinds of music Eastman brings to Rochester in a rich (and usually free) array ofearly and contemporary music, jazz, symphonic works, chamber music, and solo performances. Over 50,000 people annually attend concerts by Eastman ensembles, faculty members, and guest art­ ists. Through its Community Education Divi­ sion, the school encourages children and adults to make their own music through part­ time avocational study.

15. Future track stars? Maybe. But in the meantime they're enjoying a lively go-round on the new synthetic surface ofthe Fauver Stadium track, part of the vigorous program at the UR summer sports camp for area youngsters. Although regular use of athletic facilities is limited to the campus community, the University when possible also makes them available to off-campus groups for special events. (Those facilities, as you probably already know, are soon to be greatly expand­ ed with the completion of the Zornow Sports and Recreation Center, detailed on p. 27.) And, of course, everybody is welcome at all of UR's own athletic events-several hundred a year-most of which are free.

17. The development of special UR projects, such as the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE), provides stimulus to the local economy. A 18 teaching and research center with a multi-million-dollar budget fund- ed by the University, private industry, and federal and state govern­ ment, LLE is engaged primarily in the development oflaser fusion's potential as a clean, abundant scource ofenergy for the future.

18. UR expects to spend about $8 million this year for construction, primarily on the new Zornow Sports and Recreation Center ap­ proaching completion on the River Campus. (In the last fifteen years, UR spent $225 million on construction, much ofthis amount going to local contractors.) This is a good illustration ofthe fact that higher education means business. It is estimated that local colleges and universities currently pump more than $1 billion a year into the Rochester area's economy. The University ofRochester is acknowledged to generate a very large share of this amount; most of its $265-million operating budget* is spent in Rochester, either as salaries or as payment for supplies and services. And, although the University takes an estimated $90 million a year out of the local economy (in the form ofgifts or payments oftui­ tion from area students), much of this amount is recirculated locally. In addition, UR brings in some $112 million annually in new money, from sources outside the area. Some specifics: OThe University, with more than 8,000 employees, is the region's third largest private employer. Wages, salaries, and benefits alone amounted to some $150 million in 1980-81. OUR itself spends about $35 million a year locally for goods and ser­ vices. o Its students, parents, and other visitors spend about $9 million a year in extracurricular purchases. o About 25% ofUR's 50,000 living alumni have settled in the Rochester region, where they contribute substantially to the area's economic development. o Finally, the presence of the University, with its cultural activities and its opportunities for advanced studies, helps the community to at­ tract and to keep the trained personnel needed to manage the highly technological, scientifically oriented industry on which Rochester's economic life depends.

17 The View from the Top

ByJeffrey Mehr

From the depths ofthe earth to the top of the world: Asish Basu's rocky road across Tibet. Hurtling in a small bus down the treacherous Himalayan road from Nyalam to Zham, just across the Friendship Bridge from Nepal, Asish Basu began to have second thoughts about his thousand-kilometer trek across Tibet. A geologist, Basu was acutely aware ofthe visible erosion occurring among the craggy peaks to his left. "It was raining. The driver was using only his brakes, not changing gears at all. On the right-hand side there was nothing. Rising on the left were the steep southern slopes, with huge boulders sitting there." Beside the driver was a Chinese doc­ tor, picked up at Nyalam to act as a lookout. "His head was stuck out the door and he was looking up, ready to stop the bus ifhe saw a rock fall. For two hours the group ofus-who had been joking with each other for almost two weeks-did not say a word. Oh, I was scared! For the first time I wondered, 'Did I really have to come here?'" In retrospect, now that he is safely back home, Basu, associate professor ofgeological sciences at Rochester, wouldn't have missed the experience. The People's Republic ofChina had invited him to its first international scientific symposium since the Com­ m unist takeover in 1949. Sixty scien­ tists from seventeen countries went to Beijing (Peking) for a week, May 25 to June 1 last year, to present papers and attend seminars on aspects ofthe Qinghai-Xizang Plateau-Tibet, "the roofofthe world." From Beijing the group flew to Lhasa, capital ofthe Tibetan Autonomous Region, for a fourteen-day trek across the Himalayas' northern edge. There they

22 Out ofpractice Many health administrators have expressed concern over a shortage of nurses. A ten-year study ofthe nursing profession byJerome Lysaught, pro­ fessor of education, has revealed that the shortage actually is a problem of too many people leaving the profession rather than oftoo few people entering it. He explains that nurses, once employed, tend to seek teaching and administrative positions because they believe the wages in nursing practice are too low. He also suggests that the most talented and able nurses resent the "subservient" role in health care traditionally assigned them. Lysaught believes that better pay for nursing practice and a more active role for nurses in making health-care deci­ sions would encourage the most talented ofthem to stay in practice.

Studying As almost every former college freshman knows, one ofthe hardest things you have to learn in college is how to study. For those few students who seem likely to sink before they ever do catch on to the techniques-and for the many others in less desperate straits who still could use some help-the University's Study Skills Center has developed an effective lifeline in a pro­ gram that uses student counselors to work with floundering freshmen. Through both group sessions and one-to-one meetings, participants work with professionally trained up­ perclassmen in mastering such useful tricks of the trade as planning and monitoring study time; regularly studying in a place that has been made free from distractions; and setting realistic goals, which they are then en­ couraged to reward themselves for meeting. Fellow students, rather than profes­ sionals, conduct the sessions because research has shown that freshmen counseled in study skills by other students make greater use ofthe infor­ mation gained, says Sheldon D. M alett, associate director ofcounseling and psychological services.
