Choosing illustrations from two sys­ tems of the human body, as well as from otherspecies, Edelman outlined the basic framework of his extraordinary new theory. One example, first elaborated by MacFarlane Burnet, came from the area he knows best-the immune system. As he explained it, the millions ofantibodies circulating through the body, when taken together, appear to contain all the infor­ mation needed to protect us against all the intruding biological agents we are likely to encounter in our lifetime. But instead of one specific antibody being designed to recognize and counteract one Full House: Town and gown turned out in force for Edelman's Dreyfus specific germ, for example, there is a Distinguished Lecture in Hubbell Auditorium. range of antibodies capable of perform­ ing the same job, although some are able system, its complex network of defense. busy week in Rochester; his interests have to do it more handily than others.

3 species that were unable to perform with biological efficiency were discarded by nature over the course of millions of years. Edelman compared the kind of selec­ tion that takes place in the immune system to that which occurs among a very few insect species, the social insects, such as certain ants, which live and function together in colonies almost as "super-or­ ganisms." Social insects commonly have "castes," each relating to a specific func­ tion: some entrusted with defense, for example, others with foraging for food. In most social insects these castes are often determined very early in the life of the individual. In a few cases, howeveI; specificity is not fully predetermined, and as in the immune system (where the particular foreign molecules that cells encounter determine the kind of anti­ bodies that will become most prevalent) so the proportion ofone caste or another in an insect colony is decided by circumstance. Edelman's final example of a system where a non-predetermined selection seems to take place was "that pinnacle, the brain." Increasingly, he said, it seems clear that such selection (which may be called "somatic selection" in contrast to the familiar Darwinian "natural selec­ tion") plays a vital part in the develop­ ment of the brain cells (neurons) in­ volved in communication, just as it does in the antibodies of the immune system.

8 George Eastman Art Collector

The man who made photography a mass medium was an avid collector of pictures-but they were paintings, not photographs. The kinds ofpictures he collected, and the way he collected them, tell us a great deal about George Eastman, the man.

Philip de Laszlo's portrait ofGeorge Eastman was notpart ofthe Eastman collection; his interest in acquiring portraits didn't extend to his own. This one was a gift ofthe artist to the Memorial Art Gallery in 1926.

In George Eastman's 50-room mansion on Rochester's East Avenue, portraits ofthe British aristocracy were at home with family photographs and home-grown flowers.

10 mentally shopping for pictures to hang in that dream house. And it is equally clear that he collected art for one reason only: to hang on the walls of his house and enjoy. "I am not a collector and am therefore not interested in the petrified bumble bee's nest [or antique furniture, or Japanese masks, or Babylonian tab­ lets] which you wish to dispose of." Such was the gist of many letters. Eastman's mother, an educated, well­ poised woman on whom his emotional life centered, visited Europe only once­ in l889-when she enjoyed exhibitions of contemporary art in the company of her son or a companion. Considering too the lengthy discussions of art in her son's letters to her, often including a catalogue or clipping, one could assume that she had some influence on his selections of art. We might infer too that Eastman's predilection for bucolic landscapes was related to the contrived pastoral setting he began to construct in 1902. It is hard for those who know the George Eastman House as a museum ofphotography with attached auditorium and parking lot to visualize it when it was a self-sufficient urban estate. "I got the last large tract, the last remnant of a farm inside the city.... You see I keep chickens and cows here," Eastman told Photoplay interviewer 1: Ramsaye in 1927. "He lives with the grandeur ofa rajah, but a very puritan rajah," Ramsaye re­ ported, "on a wide 10-acre estate in the heart of the city. ... It is a setting as improbable as a ranch in Central Park. It Jacopo Tintoretto, Italian, 1518-1594, "Portrait ofa Venetian Patrician" is a sort ofplatinum-mounted farm...." Eastman seemed to take delight in this aristocratic curmudgeon.

11 Henry Raeburn, English, 1756-1823, "Mrs. Johnston ofStraiton" One ofEastman ~ biographers has noted that he liked to surround himselfwith beautiful, intelligent women. Not surprisingly, he displayed the same preference in his art collecting. Eastman described the subject ofthis painting as "the upstanding, efficient Scotch type of woman, very attractive and womanly, but not effeminate. "

Frank Babbott, his principal adviser in art matters, detailing the need to live with a painting before purchasing it. "My recollection is that you told me your men were going to Detroit," he wrote to a dealer, "and I suggested that they bring the Rembrandt and the Van Dyck to Rochester and let me see them in my house. You seemed willing to do this and it is a common procedure with other picture dealers. I never buy a picture until I have lived with it a little while in my house. I certainly did not dream that you would think I was under any 0 bligation to buy them if I found I did not want them. In your letter you seem to imply that I perhaps encouraged you to send the Henry Raeburn, "Portrait ofGeneral Hay MacDowell" TYpically, Eastman hung on to his paintings only as long as they suited him.

He supported the Gallery through membership in the highest patron category but declined to consider the purchase of works for the collection. There is one exception-a pic­ ture by Paul Dougherty given in 1915. That gift may have been in appreciation ofa November 1914 special exhibition of "colored pictures" (photographs, not paintings) at the Gallery attended by a large group of Kodak officials and their wives. "The Memorial Art Gallery show was splendid," Eastman reported to Act­ ing Director George L. Herdle. During the first two summers of the new gallery, 1914 and 1915, Herdle orga­ nized loan shows of paintings from local collections. The catalogues show that Eastman was generous in "denuding his walls" for the summers. The paintings from his highly personal collection formed the backbone of the Old Master selection in those two loan shows-just as Albert Neuhuys, Dutch, 1844-1914, "Bread and Butter" they form the backbone ofOld Masters in the Gallery's permanent collection today. -

18 Summer of'79 By Elaine Sigler

When you're an undergraduate, spending part ofyour summer vacation going back to school may be something you do only ifyou have to. But when you've been out for a few years, that kind ofvacation can bring many pleasures-as Elaine Aser Sigler '51 found out when she attended last summer's week-long Alumni University.

It was cool in the depths ofthe campus were a select group of faculty members, spirit does not easily derive from being a chapel where we met for the premiere of each interpreting in perspective the re­ commuting "city girl" on the old Prince Alumni University during five sticky cent evolution of authority in his or her Street Campus some 30 years ago.

In those pre-feminist days, its offerings were infinitely superior to library facilities on Prince Street. Strong Auditorium, too, was familiar from ex­ hausting, gratifying hours in rehearsal and performance with "Stagers." (Does anyone else remember "Stagers" and Lisa Rauschenbush's resonant directorial voice?) That, and a han,dful of fraternity parties, made up my acquaintanceship with college life beside the Genesee, the sum ofmy 'coed' experience. Miles supplied the nostalgia. Musty old Burton loosed a flood of feeling that persisted into his dreams at night. Even before the first lecture I was glad, ifonly because of those feelings, that we had chosen to attend Alumni University. ~~ For four mornings that week we at­ Dr. Albert B.

Michael Jensen of the Graduate School of Management. He was studiously and deliberately provocative, inveighing against the abuses of big government which had brought us to a "Crisis of Democracy," our topic. Like Bueno de Mesquita, he attacked our unexamined articles of faith. The joy of being in a no-credit, no-grade situation was no­ where more obvious than in our clashes with Jensen. In the late afternoon we relaxed by playing tennis, jogging, swimming, or merely strolling around the campus. Evening activities were varied. One night a busload ofus visited the Laboratory for Laser Energetics across the Genesee. Its technological sophistication contrasted with the artistry of the engaging mime who entertained us another evening. On our own, Miles and I stumbled onto a superb jazz recital by students at the Eastman School. Meal times were family times, when we learned that our son, who was initially reluctant to attend Alumni University, was being won over by such technologi­ cally diverse experiences as milking cows, baking brownies, and making videotapes. Meal times were also times for good conversation. For that matte~ so were most hours of the day.

27 Einsteinian In a recent newspaper interview, Tullio Regge '57G is quoted as saying that during the 1950's, when he was working as astaffresearcher at Princeton, he never went to visit the town's most famous citizen, Albert Einstein.

39 Identity Crisis

We've only had two letters about our last Identity Crisis photo, and the authors could offer no clue to the "key" feature of the picture. Maybe the following recol­ lections will jog someone else's memory.

To the editor: For once I can identify halfof the people in the picture. On the left is Richard L. (Dick) Greene '26. He looks a bit younger than he did in the mid-thirties when I first knew him. My guess is that the picture was taken in the mid-twenties, perhaps during Dick's senior year. I can't help you with the other gentleman. Bob Wells '39 Le Chesnay, France

To the editor: I'll guess ... From left to right, the two characters ap­ pearing on page 23 of the Fall 1979 Rochester Review are Dick Greene '26 and Del Hartung '24. I don't recognize the key. Is that a bank vault in the background? John A. Sullivan '24 Cocoa Beach, Fla.

For Next Time ... While you're mulling that one over again, we'll give you another. Do any of you former Prince Streeters remember this photo?
