are among other Kodak benefactions. Over the years, how­ ever, the majority of its gifts have been unrestricted, to be used for general University advancement. It is impossible to measure precisely the impact of these gifts. Unquestionably, however, they have formed a key element in the development of the University as a distin­ guished national institution that offers the people of its home community an attractive intellectual and cultural complex, including a major center of medical research and patient care. It is clear that Kodak recognizes the importance ofstable, productive institutions of higher learning to the well-being of high-technology industries, such as its own, and the mutual benefits ofa close working relationship between industry and academia. The University has long enjoyed such a stimulating rela­ tionship with Kodak. Scientific and professional interactions include the exchange of technical advice, such as consulting by Univer­ sity faculty, extensive use of the University's research libraries, and loans back and forth ofspecial equipment. The University offers educational opportunities to Kodak personnel through a variety of special programs as well as general course work : A number ofcurrent Kodak managers are graduates of the University's Executive Development This Colonnade is dedicated Program.

Walker, invented, patented, and marketed a device for view cameras capable of holding a roll of paperbacked film. It was the first practical alternative to fragile and unwieldy glass negatives. Eastman sent one of the new roll ho lders to University of Rochester Professor Samuel A. Lattimore, head of the chemistry department, for test ing.

4 a symphony orchestra. Recurrently, we have faced the fact that what was needed was a body of trained listeners quite as much as a body of competent performers. It is fairly easy to employ skillful mu sicians. It is impossible to buy an appreciation of music. Yet without appreciation, without th e presence of a large body of people who understand music and who get joy out of it, any atte mpt to develop the musical resources ofany city is doomed to failure. Because, in Roch­ ester, we realize this , we have under­ taken a scheme for building musical capacity on a large scale from childhood." Thus, when th e New York State R egents amended th e University's charter to allow for a music school, th e new provision s sanctioned "the giving or supervising of elem entary and secondary instructions, prepara­ tory for . . . higher gra des." Besides the establishment of a Preparatory Department, Eastman's other scheme for reaching th e community was a giant, 3,300-seat auditorium whi ch would com bine his own two great interests: film and musi c. Silent mov­ ies would be accompanied by a large pit orchestra . Several times a week operati c, symphonic, and ballet pro­ du ctions would be staged. Revenue from the movies would support the music. In th e end, for many reasons, including the size of th e theater and th e demise of silent pictures, th e eco­ nomics did not work.

Clothes for the Baby

A s construction of the medical rtcenter progressed, two further needs became evident. "It will be nec­ essary to buy clothes for the baby it [the General Education Board] has left on our doorstep," Eastman wrote of the need for equipping the new center. "If I had known his baby was going to grow so fast I should proba­ bly have told Flexner to take it back home in the beginning but it is such a pretty baby that one does not want to give it up now without a struggle to help support it." And the University, with the addition of the medical school, would need room for expansion. It was George W Todd and James S.

12 The Kodak Kids

Sixteen "bright, astute, and dedicated" under­ graduates hold Kodak Scholarships at the U ni­ versity. What kind of people are these top stu­ dents? The Review talked to some ofthem to find out. During the Second World War, when Hi tler's bombs threatened to blow away England and all its people, parents by the thousands in the most heavily populated industrial areas packed up their children and sent them away to distant places ofgreater safety. Eastman Kodak Company participated in this juvenile exodus by transporting to foster homes in the Rochester area several hundred children ofemployees in its plant in Harrow. To their new Rochester schoolmates-delighted with the injection of this touch ofcosmopolitanism into their normally provincial lives-these chi ldren were known as the Kodak Kids.* Now there is a new generation of Kodak Kids in Roches­ ter, under a very different set of circumstances. More prop­ erly designated Kodak Scholars, these sixteen students are holders of scholarships to the University of Rochester spon­ sored by Eastman Kodak under its national Kodak Schol­ ars program initiated two years ago. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of merit, with emphasis on top grades and productive participation in campus life. Kodak Scholars are selected at the end of their freshman year. Their grants pay seventy-five percent of their tuition for the remaining three years of undergraduate study. "Yahoo!" is what nineteen-year-old Tu Minh Nguyen said when they told him about his Kodak Scholarship. Tu Minh Nguyen '82, future engineer. Of the sixteen Kodak Scholars at Rochester, Nguyen had traveled the farthest, and over the bumpiest road. Like "T here were 1,500 people on that ship, and it was so those other Kodak Kids of forty years ago , Nguyen is a crowded that at night we all slept next to each other in refugee from his homeland. rows.

13 says. She hopes to go into biomedical engineering, doing research on the mechanics of blood flow in the human body. She is also giving some thought to doing a stint in the Peace Corps at some point along the way. Bearded Scot Bay '82 is a future neuroscience and psy­ chology major from Long Island. (The beard, incidentally, was only temporary. At the time the Reviewinterviewed him he was growing it for a role in a campus production of As You Like It, one of a number of extracurricular activities he keeps up with; among others are playing racquetball and tennis and performing as a trumpet player with the Sym­ phonic Band.) He expects to pursue a career in psychiatry and has already gained some practical experience working in a hospital emergency room. "I'm fascinated," he says, "by the relationships between the mind and the body." About the widely recognized competition that seems to exist among.future medical students everywhere, he observes, "Because of my career goal, people say to me, 'You're pre-med, you have to compete with people because you're on this curve.' I say, 'Well, I may be pitted against other people in a computer or in a bunch ofstatistics, but I really compete only against myself, always trying to do better-but not to beat anyone else.''' Mark Irving, like Bay, also has had practical work experi­ ence in his future field of specialization. A Rochester native and chemical engineering major who has just completed his junior year at the University, he has been working summers for, appropriately enough, Eastman Kodak. He says of this experience: "My first summer, before I got the scholarship, I cleaned filters. This was good because it gave me a chance to get the perspective of the people who actually push the Jennifer Linderman '82.

But that's not all he does . Among other things, his roommate is teaching him how to juggle (the kind you do with apples and oranges, not the kind you do with classes, laboratories, and other overlapping com­ mitments). Why juggling? "Just for fun, " he says. Like Nguyen, the other Kodak Scholars are bright, involved in campus life, and, for the most part, career­ oriented. Jennifer Linderman '82, from Medina, Ohio, another engineering major, is a top student who works also as a teaching assistant in a freshman calculus course, giving quizzes and brief lectures. She plans eventually to be a working mother, never having considered anything else, she

14 Florida native, has as yet decided only that his job prefer­ ence lies in a line of work where he can "be outdoors in someplace different every day." He comments, "I'm at a point where I can either worry about getting top grades now so I can get a good job later on with, in turn, good pay, or I can just take classes and learn for the pleasure of learning." (The "pleasure of learning" has got him quite a distance already. So far, he's an A student.) When the Review asks Carter what he thinks he has gained by coming to Rochester to college, this transplanted Floridian laughs and quips "Snow!" (Others of the Schol­ ars, asked the same question, came up with more predict­ able answers, most of them citing qualities like the Univer­ sity's small size and consequent opportunities for ready give-and-take with the faculty.) Carter says he was "flabbergasted" when, out of the blue one day during his freshman year, he got a call inviting him to a chat with Dean Kenneth Clark of the College of Arts and Science. "At first I was impressed, but then I was apprehensive. After all, why would the dean want to see me?" Clark's office, once you're in there, is nothing to be appre­ hensive about. Seated in a casual pose on the end ofa sofa, Clark explains to the Review the process by which Kodak Scholars like Jamie Carter are chosen: "We seek out freshmen who have done exceptionally well, both in high school and in beginning college work. The program is set up so the career interests of the students selected correspond to Kodak's perception of the future overall employment needs of the country. This doesn't mean, however, scholarship winners can't change their minds later on if they wish. Jamie Carter '82. A call from the dean flabbergasted him. "The awards are unusual in that they are given on the basis of merit only, and do not take into account the usual criteria for financial need. But every student in a sense has financial need, considering the high cost of a college education." Rochester is one ofsixty-three colleges around the country selected to participate in the Kodak Scholars pro­ gram. Coordinator of the program for Eastman Kodak is Jack Murtz, who refers to the group of Kodak Scholars at Rochester as "bright, astute, and dedicated." Eight more of these "bright, astute, and dedicated" stu­ dents have just been selected as the new University of Roch­ ester Kodak Scholars of the Class of '83. The Review wasn't present when they got the news, but we wouldn't be sur­ prised if there was another exuberant "Yahoo!" heard echo­ ing around the campus.

By 1931, the Eastman Theatre had ceased to operate as "the most beautiful motion picture theater in the world." But George Eastman's experiment had fulfilled its purpose. Today's Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra is a direct descendant of the early Eastman Theatre Orchestra. Performances by the Philharmonic, Eastman School groups, and other resident musical organizations and by world-famous visiting artists, ensem­ bles, and dance companies continue to fill the Theatre night after night throughout the year. Music indeed looms large in the fabric of Roches­ ter's cultural life, as George Eastman had envisioned so many years ago. No longer functioning as " the most beautiful motion picture house in the world," the Eastman Theatre is filled night after night by Rochester concert goers.

When a need for extra light fix­ tures for th e balcony developed too late to order them for opening night in 1922, an ingenious artisan fixed up a pair of metal washtubs in their stead.

19 William G. Stuber, third president ofEastman Kodak, join ed th e com­ pany in 1894 as emulsion specialist, dry-plate maker, and noted photogra­ pher. He succeeded Eastman as presi­ dent in 1925 and as chairman in 1932. Stuber contributed generously to the campaign to build th e Ri ver Campus. His son Ado lph Stuber (father of W.James Stuber '50) has provid ed for the establishment of th e W. G. Stuber Memorial Fund. Gentle, affable, and capable Frank W. Lovejoy-the chemical engineer who became manager of the Kodak Park works in 1902 and moved on to become vice president and general ma~ager, then president, and finall y chairman-served as University trustee from 1926 until his death in 1945.

20 graphic Process," backed up by experiments in the University of Lon­ don's makeshift lab in a cowshed, attracted the attention of George Eastman. Eastman was in search ofa chemist to reorganize the research lab­ oratory. Mees did not feel he could leave his job with the Wratten & Wainwright photographic manufac­ turing plant, however, so Kodak pur­ chased the plant. In 1912 Mees, age thirty, came to Rochester and proceeded to build the largest and strongest industrial research facility in the world at that time. His clipped British manners and mien became familiar hallmarks as he countered all sloppy thinking by subordinates with a throaty, "Rot, all rot!" Yet there always remained the suspicion of tongue-in-cheek when a dressing-down ended with, "Aren't we having a good time around here?" Believe it or not, Eastman Kodak was once a small company.

Did he ever consider acting as a career? "To some extent." Would he consider taking an acting assignment now if one were offered? "No. What would I do? Play the role of Koussevitsky?" Clearly, Van Demark wished to be purely a professional musician, not an actor, but he grew restive studying with Karr and, for that matter, with other bass players. In the summer of 1972, he met the cellist Paul Katz. "I had heard won­ derful things about Katz as a teacher. Since he and the other members of the Cleveland Quartet were then in resi­ dence at SUNY at Buffalo, and as Hamilton was fairly close to Buffalo, I approached Katz about studying with him. He agreed. So for a year while I J am es Van Demark: performer (above) , clowning around with Andre ' Vatts, and professor was still playing principal bass in (below), with student. Hamilton, I visited him twice a week for lessons. "It was an immediate eye-opener," Van Demark continues. "He insisted on a standard of playing that I wasn't familiar with. Not only standards of playing in terms of intonation and clarity of technique, but also in terms of artistry and personal projection. A lot of his technical suggestions were simply derived from the principles of good string playing, but most bassists are oblivious to those things. Myear­ lier teachers had never emphasized how important it is to maintain a relaxed left hand while playing. Or how to produce very cleanly a great variety of bow strokes." After a year, Van Demark resigned his position in Hamilton to work more intensively with Katz. "I had been a high school dropout and then a col­ lege dropout," Van Demark says. "I returned to school at Buffalo in 1973 as a sophomore. I remained there for three years studying with Katz, and I think it was probably the best thing I've ever done." One of the intriguing things about Van Demark is his openness to sugges­ tions, his ability to learn from so many other players on so many other kinds of instruments. Charles Castleman, the Eastman School violinist who directs an inten­ sive summer program for string quar­ tet players in Troy, New York, recalls a letter he received from Van Demark

"While dealing with such core topics as curriculum development, physical and financial growth, and the influence of various administra­ tors, the author and editor also discuss the facts and significance of such mat­ ters as fraternities, school songs, and athletics.

39 and over some rather forbidding ter­ rain at that. Wilson and nine other mechanical engineering students con­ structed the all-terrain vehicle for a contest, the Mini-Baja East, staged at the University of Delaware last spring. Contest rules stipulated that entrants were to spend no more than $1,100 to build a one-passenger car that could safely negotiate rough and muddy terrain, climb hills, pull heavy weights, and drive, preferably afloat (better for the driver, after all), through water. The College of Engineering and Applied Science and the student chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers provided the funds, the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Sciences supplied the facilities, and the student group did all the rest, with a minimum of tech­ nical advice from faculty engineers. The Rochester dream machine was an extracurricular project, severely limiting the time available for research and development. "Ideally, the design stage should have been fin­ ished before we started building, but instead we had to make modifications as we went along," Wilson says. "And since this was our first year in the contest, we didn't know what to expect." Neither, apparently, did a number of the other entrants. Of the twenty­ one vehicles that showed up for the contest, only eight made it to the fin­ ish line. It would be pleasant to report that Mud Puppy was one of the eight, but it wasn't, having been done in early on by brake trouble. (The go-cart brakes they were using turned out not to have been strong enough for the weight of the car, although at 413 pounds it was the second-lightest vehicle in the contest.) It runs!

Other spring records were: Golf: 6-3 M en's lacrosse: 3-8 J1fJmen's lacrosse: 2-6 The composite 1979-80 all-teams record was 145 wins and 104 losses for a .582 percentage, the best in the last six years.

All-American If it's true what th ey say about champions being made ofsterner stuff, then decathlon competitor Matt Riordan '81 deserves a place in that select company. Riordan recently proved himself a bona fide All-American in a stirring comeback performance at the NCAA Division III National Championships staged at North Central College in Napierville, Illinois. By finishing sixth among the top ten national finalists, Riordan quali­ fied as All-American, no easy feat con­ sidering that the cream of 110 colleges finds its way to Division III competi­ tion. To add to the challenge, Riordan had been injured during practice and for a while it was doubtful that he could even compete. Finally, coach Tim Hale reports, "We decid ed he would compete up until th e eighth of the ten decathlon events- the pole vault in whi ch he had sustained his injury-and see how he felt. H e felt fine and tied for fifth in the vault event and th en just kept going to finish th e competition in sixth place after having been ninth the previou s day."

"On May 8, the World Health Assembly officially proclaimed eradi­ cation in a memorable ceremony at the Palais de Nations in Geneva. At the last count, only four small coun­ tries still require smallpox vaccination certificates for international travelers and these should be dropping this requirement very soon. Most coun­ tries have stopped routine vaccination and I suspect that all will do so within the next few months. Bureau­ cracies do move slowly. And so a chapter in medicine is closed." Dr. Henderson, a 1954 graduate of the medical school, was chief of the WHO smallpox eradication unit. Two years ago , in honor of their pivotal role in this giant step forward in the history of world health, Henderson and his colleague, Dr. William H. Foege, received the Joseph C. Wilson Award for achievement in interna­ tional affairs. The award is jointly sponsored by the Rochester Associa­ tion for the United Nations, Xerox Corporation, and the University.
