ONE OF CORNELL'S BEST-LOVED PROFESSORS OFFERS ADVICE ON HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF COLLEGE-AND LIFE.

When Frederick G. Marcham, PhD '26, the Goldwin Smith professor emeritus of English history, died last December at age 94, he left behind a rich legacy: 70 years of shaping students' lives in ways too numerous to measure. He also left behind a great deal of writing. Marcham's Cayuga Heights house and McGraw Hall office were crammed with unpublished manuscripts, notes and essay books. Much of it was given to the university archives, and much of it was left for his son John '50, the former editor of this magazine, to sort. John has gathered his father's writings into ten vol-

CORNELL MAGAZINE 24 Cornell's Lone Justice

By breezing through the confirmation process, Ruth Bader Ginsburg '54 becomes the first Cornellian to serve on the Supreme Court.

IN 1960, FELIX FRANKFURTER, the legendary Supreme Court Jus- tice, needed a new clerk. So he turned to Harvard Law School Dean Albert Sachs, who suggested a Harvard Law Review editor with as- tronomical grades, impressive credentials and untold potential. Frankfurter demurred.

he Green Room at Zanies Comedy Club in Vernon Hills, Illinois is neither green nor roomy. The place where the performers bide their time before being called on stage is filled by two chairs and an end table and has pasty white walls, half- covered by graffiti. It's so small it's almost funny. The graffiti belong to comics who have headlined at the club, and at the moment one chair belongs to this week's headliner, Bill Maher 78. As the muffled sounds of laughter seep into the room, Maher sips a beer and looks over some notes he's made on a few pieces of paper—his act, in abbreviated form. It's a list of words, but each triggers a particular bit in Maher's

Often, he will set up a premise

CORNELL MAGAZINE 36 with a virtual summary of societal ills: "We've become a nation of crybabies," Maher will begin. "If you lose your job, you can sue for mental distress. If your marriage goes south, you can sue for the money you would have made if you didn't get married." Audiences begin to think on a deeper level, to refash- ion perspective, and then he hits them with the comedic transition: temporary insanity ("I'm fine now, thanks for asking. It was just yes- terday. I had a cough, head cold, shooting spree . . ."), political correctness ("I don't even call my dog a dog anymore. He's a Canine- American").

Dan Quayle? Bush needed a guy who was young, dumb and good-looking. And Woody was already on "Cheers." Pat Buchanan? He's just to the right of the Sheriff of Nott- ingham. Ted Kennedy? Every family has that stupid son. He's like Fredo in The Godfather.

Recently, Maher has turned his political awareness into a cable television show. On the night Bill Clinton was elected President, Maher co- hosted a tongue-in-cheek election night special on the Comedy Chan- nel. "When was the last time we were truly excited about our candidates for President?" Maher asked. "When was the last time we said, Ί just can't decide who to vote for because their both sooooo good.

As workmen dug under the surface of the road in front of Day Hall, about 30 feet south of the center of Tower Road, they came upon some lengths of wooden pipe, "beautiful wooden pipe," says University Archivist TGould Colman '51, PhD '62. Colrnan saved one five-foot, eight-inch length of pipe for the archives, and did a little research. The pipe is made of cedar, is one inch thick and carried water from Fall Creek, down the length of East Avenue, to Sage College. The pipe was treated with creosote, and was square on the outside. One end of the pipe was hand-tooled with a one-inch-wide lip, and the other end had an inch-wide narrowing so each length would fit into the next. When the pipe was filled with water, the wood expanded and sealed itself. Colman dates the pipe from 1874, and says it delivered water that was unusually pure and sweet. During a typhoid epidemic shortly after the turn of the century, more than a half dozen students who lived downtown (and drank the water there) died. Not a single student who lived on campus died, and that seems to have had everything to do with the water supply, and the wooden pipe. Cornell University Grandfather Clock e take great pride in offering the Cornell University Grandfather Clock. This beautifully designed commemorative clock symbolizes the image of excellence, tradition, and history we have established at CornellW University. Recognized the world over for expert craftsmanship, the master clockmakers of Ridgeway have created this extraordinary clock. Special attention is given to the brass lyre pendulum which depicts the Official University Emblem in deeply etched bas relief; a striking e@ancement tdah already magdicent clock. Indeed, the clock makes 3 a classic statement of quality about the owner. Each cabinet is handmade of the finest hardwoods and veneers in a process that rggquires over 700 separate steps and the towering clock measures an imposing 83"H x 22'14'W x 12'12"D. Fished in brilliant Windsor Cherry, the clock is also enriched with one of the most advanced West German timing mechanisms. Exceptionally accurate, such movements are found only in the world's finest clocks. Enchanting Westminster chimes peal every quarter hour and gong on the hour. If you prefer, the clock will operate in a silent mode with equal accuracy. Beveled glass in the locking pendulum door and the glass dial door and sides add to the clock's timeless and handsome design. '&40rnell University Grandfather Clock is truly a tremendous value.
