Kohlmeier, AB'08, who succeeded Dr. Wood· burn as head of the department of history in 1924, paid a fine tribute to his former teacher and colleague. In his speech, Dr. Kohlmeier said, "If I might indulge in a little understatem en t, I would say that Dr. Woodburn contributed as much to civ ilizing the provincial Hoosiers as did any man who dwelt among them." He was high in his praise for Dr. Woodburn's inspirati onal teaching and friendly counsel. Due to the illness of his wife, Judge Ora L. Wildermuth, AB'06, was unable to be present at the dinner, but John S. Hastings, '24, spoke on behalf of the Board of Trustees and paid an eloquent tribute to Dr. Woodburn as a great teach­ er. After reviewi ng two previous occasions upon which the University honored Dr. Woodburn, he asked, "What man­ Dr. Woodburn presents the book to President Wells. ner of man is this that we should honor him yet a thir'] time ?"

4 The December 1940 Then came the piece de resistance of the evening, the formal presentation of The History of Indiana University, 1820-1902 to the Un iversity by Dr. Woodburn. In presenting the volume, Dr. Woodburn said, "I am very glad to hold this book in my hand in tangible form, in concrete shape, after so many years. When the statue of Louis Agassiz toppled over in the earthquake of 1906 out at Stanford University and his head stuck in the co n­ crete pavement, President Jordan remarked that he liked Agassiz better in the abstract than in the concrete. I rather prefer this book in concrete form." President Wells, upon receiving the book, responded, " On behalf of the University, its faculty, its trustees, its official family, and its students, alumni, and friends, I gratefully accept from you this history. "There is in the archives of the University a letter dated June 6, 1924, written by Dr. Woodburn to President Bryan. It expresses Dr. Woodburn's intention to retire.

Dr. Hershey came to Indi­ ana University as Assistant Professor of Political Science in 1895; he was made Associate Professor of Europea n History and Politics in 1900, Junior Professor of Political Science and International Law in 1905, and Pro-fessor in 1908. When the Departll1en t of Political Science was or­ ganized in 1914, Dr. Hershey became the first head of the new department, which position he held until his retire­ ment in 1932, when he received the title Professor Emeritus. Everyone knows that Dr. Hershey was one o-f those chosen as members of the Peace Commission to accompany President Wilson to Paris in 1919; what is, perhaps, not always realized is that Dr. Hershey was thus selected be­ cause he was considered to be the one best man in all the country to perform certain functions in connection with the peace negotiations. In the midst of those negotiations, Dr. Hershey wrote to his good friend, the late William E.

WHILE messages of felicitation roll in from all parts of th e world, while fellow newspaper co-workers gather on Dec. 5 in the beautiful, modern building of the Associated Press in Rockefeller Center, New York City, to pay tribute to the man who has just completed 30 years of distingui shed service to the largest news-gathering or­ ganization on earth, there will be rej oicing, too, on the Indiana University campus. For although it has been 41 years since Kent Cooper, '02, general manager of the AI', said good-bye to hi s college days, he's sti ll remembered by a host of warm friends among the faculty, alumni and townspeople.

Basketeers As we go to press the sports public is turning its eye toward basketball and the sportswriters are beginning to heap praise upon the great basketball team that Branch McCracken has at I.U. this season. Let's hope that all this pre-se.l­ son publicity is not fatal. But there is good reason for opti­ mism, for Indiana has eleven veterans returning from the sensational 1939-40 team that won the National title.

Football Statistics Tell An Interesting Story Although Indiana won only three of the eight football games this fall , they held a lopsided advantage in statistics. Bo's boys rolled up 83 first downs to their opponents' 63 and gained a total of 1,685 yards to 1,411. A n interesting note is the fa ct that in Indiana's three victories-Iowa, Michigan State and Purdue- the pass defense was perfect, the three teams be· in g able to gain a total of 0 yards by passes. Only Michigan State was able to complete a pass and that for no gain.
