JULY, 1941 45 * ALUMNI TRUSTEES REPORT ON UNIVERSITY Report for the five-year term which ended at Commencement, 1942., was made jointly by Alumni Trustees Mary H. Donlon 'zo and Alfred H. Hutchinson '09 for the annual meeting of the Cornell Alumni Association in Bailey Hall, Miss Donlon was reelected this year to serve until 1947, and Hutchinson was succeeded by Albert R. Mann '04. Their report follows: has been a Cornell Trustee for forty-nine years. There is no one, with the single exception of Andrew D. White, who has given so unstint- ingly of his time and efforts in Cornell's behalf over so long a period, as has Judge Hiscock. He has set a high standard for Cornell alumni in the service of their Alma Mater. In January, 1939, the Board elected J. Du- Pratt White as chairman, but Mr. White's fatal illness prevented him from actively par- ticipating in any Board meeting during his term of office as chairman. Alumni find in Mr. White's record of service, as in Judge His- cock's, a challenging standard of loyalty and devotion to the best interests of the University. Cornellians are fortunate in having as Mr. White's successor in the important post of Board chairman, H. Edward Babcock who brought to that office the experience of ten years of service as a Cornell Trustee and who, during Mr. White's last illness, served as act- ing chairman. Mr. Babcock is resident in Mary H. Donlon '20 Ithaca, accessible for consultation when the Alfred H. Hutchinsoα '09 President seeks his aid, well acquainted with services. During these years Cornell has To THE ALUMNI: the problems of the University, and generous brought to its Faculty scholars, scientists, Since June, 1937, it has been our privilege to of his time and talents in the service of Cornell. and teachers of distinction in their several represent Cornell alumni on the Board of Trus- fields.
