The
College recently received a $3.1 million gift from Gordon Gould '41, of
Southampton, N.Y., the inventor of the laser.
A
previous gift of $1.5 million from Gould established the Gordon Gould Professorship
of Physics in 1995. The professorship, which is held by Jay E. Newman, was
established to honor Frank Studer, a former professor of physics at the College
who sparked Gould's interest in the physics of light and inspired a love of
optics that led to Gould's development of the laser.
President
Roger Hull, announcing the most recent gift, said, “Union is incredibly
fortunate to have the support – again –
of Gordon Gould. As the inventor of the laser, Gordon has had an impact on all
of us; as one of Union's strongest supporters, Gordon will long have an impact
on generations of students.”
Gould,
who idolized Thomas A. Edison as a child and always wanted to be an inventor,
was a physics major and member of Sigma Chi fraternity at Union. He did
graduate research in optics at Yale, where he taught physics to premed
students, and was a doctoral student and research assistant at Columbia when he
developed the basic concept of the laser process. Working throughout a weekend,
he filled the pages of a notebook with descriptions of ways to amplify light
and use the resulting beam to cut and heat substances and measure distance. To
describe the process, he coined the word laser, standing for “light
amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.”
A few
weeks after filling his notebook with ideas, he went to an attorney and came
away believing – erroneously – that he needed a working model before he could
get a patent. He did not submit a patent application until April, 1959 – after
two other men had filed an application.
Legal
battles began, and finally, in 1977, the patent office awarded Gould a patent
on optically pumped laser amplifiers. During the next ten years he won a series
of other legal victories that left him in control of patent rights to an
estimated ninety percent of the lasers used and sold in the United States. He
is now acknowledged as the pioneer of the laser, and he was elected to the
National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1991. Union recognized Gould's achievements
by awarding him an honorary Doctor of Science degree in 1978 and the Eliphalet
Nott Medal in 1995.
Gould
devoted much of his career to research in optics and, in 1973, was a cofounder
of an optical communications company named Optelecom, Inc., where he earned
further patents before retiring in 1985. Since then, he has advised a gem and
precious jewel communications company and six other ventures in which he has
invested.

Daniel
Wit '44, Ph.D.
It's A
Global Jungle: Can It Become a Global Village? summarizes the global evidences
of violence and conflict while exploring “human nature” as a key contributor to
the chaos. Why do people behave worse than jungle animals who kill only for
food? According to Wit, the answer lies not only in human nature, but in our
environment (political, social, economic, and cultural). He believes that the
major global challenge of the twenty-first century is extradition from the
global jungle and movement towards the creation of an integrated, harmonious
community, or global village. Wit also suggests steps to manage international
conflict more effectively through constructive foreign policies. Wit has
published six books about world affairs as well as many articles and
monographs; and has engaged in extensive public lecturing both within the U.S.
and abroad. To order a copy of It's A Global Jungle: Can It Become a Global

Edward
Cassedy '57
Dear
friends at home: The Civil War Letters & Diaries of Sergeant Charles T.
Bowen, Twelfth United States Infantry, 1861-1864 was assembled with the help of
three generations of descendants and compiled and edited by Edward Cassedy. In
August of 1861, Charles T. Bowen joined the Twelfth United States Infantry
Regiment. Unlike most young men who answered the call from their country at the
outbreak of the Civil War by joining “Volunteer” regiments from their states,
Bowen enlisted for three years with the “Regulars.” During those three years of
enlistment, he participated in fifteen battles from Yorktown to Petersburg; he
also wrote hundreds of letters to his wife and family and kept detailed
diaries, which include graphic descriptions of the battles. Cassedy, the great
grandson of two Civil War soldiers (one of whom was Sergeant Charles T. Bowen),
has been deeply interested in this historical period for most of his life. He
is a member of the Baltimore Civil War Round Table, the Maryland Chapter of the
Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, and the Sons of the
American Revolution. To order a copy of his book, go to http://www.dealersweb.com/butternut.htm.

A woman
went into the operating room for minor surgery. When she woke up she was
paralyzed from the waist down. What do the medical records reveal or perhaps
conceal about such a tragedy, and how can attorneys use this information to win
their cases? Medical Records for Attorneys guides lawyers through systematic
interpretation of medical records from patients' symptoms to the outcome of medical
care. This text enables attorneys to evaluate whether the medical care a
patient received was appropriate before retaining “experts.” It may also lead
them to discover that what is not present in a chart may help or hinder a case
or to discern that the records are not what they seem. Laurence, the principal
at The Laurence M. Deutsch Law Firm in New York City, specializes in complex
medical malpractice litigation on behalf of patients and counsels individual

The Union community was deeply saddened to learn of the loss of five alumni in the World Trade Center bombings on September 11, 2001.
Jose L. Cardona '89, of New York City (B.S. in mechanical engineering).
Thomas W. Duffy '71
Thomas W. Duffy '71, of Pittsford, N.Y. (B.S. in mechanical engineering with an M.S.
from Rollins College). A class agent and active alumnus in the Rochester area, Tom was a member of Delta Upsilon,
the football team, and Block U. A senior vice president of Marsh, Inc., a risk
management insurance and employee benefit consultation company that works with
the energy industry, Tom was on the ninety-ninth floor of Building 1 of the
World Trade Center for an appointment the morning of September 11. He is
survived by his wife, Cynthia, and sons Jason and Ryan.
Andrew A. Fredericks '83, of Suffern, N.Y (B.A. in political science). A member of Phi
Sigma Kappa and an admissions volunteer, Andy was one of the New York City
firefighters who was in the World Trade Center when it collapsed. He was laid
to rest in his hometown of Suffern on Oct. 8. Survivors include his wife,
Michelle, and two children, ages nine and five. The family has requested that
memorial contributions be made to the NYC Firefighters Burn Victims Centers.
Don J. Kauth '74
Don J. Kauth '74, of Saratoga Springs, N.Y (M.S. in industrial administration, M.B.A. '78).
Born in Utica, Don received a B.A. from Siena College in 1972. He taught at
Union and Siena, had a private CPA practice, and served as director of
education for the New York State Society of CPAs in New York City. Don was also
a bank analyst for First Albany, Key Bank, Alex Brown, and, at the time of his
death, for Keefe, Bruyette and Woods in New York City. He served on the board
of directors of the Saratoga Youth Hockey League. Survivors include his mother,
Winifred R. Kauth, of Utica; two sons, Matthew, of Tacoma, Wash., and Patrick,
of Saratoga Springs; two daughters, Kathleen and Cecilia, both of Saratoga
Springs; a brother, Brian, of Syracuse; and four sisters – Ann Ferris, of
Remsen, N.Y.; Mary Grossi, of Phoenix, Ariz.; Denise Brady, of Detroit, Mich.;
and Vanessa Graham, of Ilion, N.Y.
Alexander R. Steinman '91
Alexander
R. Steinman '91, of Hoboken, N.J. (B.A. in economics). Alex was a partner and
vice president in the equity sales division of Cantor Fitzgerald on the 104th
floor of 1 World Trade Center. He had worked there for about six years and was
happy to have had several alumni/friends as clients. He and his wife, Tracy,
had been high school sweethearts and would have celebrated their seventh
anniversary on Oct. 9. At Union, he was a member of Psi Upsilon.
Helping at Ground Zero
Trey Wehrum '92 is a volunteer firefighter and emergency medical technician with the
Garden City (Long Island) Fire Department. He was among those involved in
setting up triage hospitals on September 11 and assisting with excavation efforts
in areas around Ground Zero.
Trey works as a civil engineer with the Sear Brown Group in Garden City. He's active
in admissions recruiting for Union, too, and he coaches lacrosse. Always
wanting to “do what he can,” he got involved as a volunteer firefighter about
five years ago, after his little brother joined the Junior Program of the
Garden City Fire Department. Trey became an emergency medical technician about
two years ago.
He speaks about the events of September 11:
“I was at work when the first bit of information came in. I left right away, and was
called in as an EMT volunteer. We drove an ambulance to Ground Zero to help
wherever we could.
“Garden City firefighters were actually riding their bikes on the Long Island
Expressway to get to the city. Because only emergency vehicles were being
allowed through, some stopped to offer rides to these firefighters.
“We got there by two in the afternoon. Companies from all over Long Island were at the
scene. We helped firefighters set up their rigs. Amazingly, some were using
trucks that were completely smashed to put out fires.
“We handed out water, provided a little medical support. Amazing how quickly people
were there, donating water, food, new shirts. Restaurants offered us food.
People were just giving things away.
“We also set up triage hospitals, including one at the College Center at Pace
University, five or six blocks from Ground Zero. Despite all the chaos, in
about an hour, it was ready to handle victims. Unfortunately, no one came in.
“The whole event was surreal. It was as if a volcano had gone off. There were fires all
over the place. It was like a war zone.
“But there was also tremendous support: People lined the streets and the highways,
even at two in the morning, even ten days later, applauding the support
vehicles as they came in. This terrible situation brought out the best in
people.
“A lot of people out here are from the New York City area. Eighty people in Garden
City lost their lives. Many from Rockville Centre and Manhasset were lost, too.
And everyone knew somebody. It's been rough for everyone. People who are
twenty-two years old have gone to three, four, five funerals. Kids that young
shouldn't be burying their brothers or sisters or friends.”
An alumnus recalls an earlier disaster
Jerome Smith '39, of Brooklyn, reflecting and reminiscing in the aftermath of the
September 11 World Trade Center disaster, writes that he believes he is the
only survivor of the crash of the B-25 bomber into the Empire State Building on
the foggy Saturday morning of July 28, 1945.
Fortunately, Jerry was working on the fourth floor (for the New York Region of the Office of
Price Administration, a civilian war agency under the Executive Office of the
President) as the plane gouged a gaping hole in the seventy-eighth floor,
killing fourteen people, including the pilot and crew of the bomber. At the
time, the Empire State Building was the tallest office building in the world.
One local newspaper dubbed the day “a day New York will never forget.” Now,
ironically, fifty-six years later, while the Empire State Building is again the
tallest building in New York City, few remember the crash of 1945.
Other alums report in
A special address was created on the Union website, so that alumni could check in
with one another. It was a popular site, with thousands of entries, including
this sampling:
Daniel Aguirre '95, of New York City: “New York City is the best city in the world. I
have always admired its diversity and its wonderful spirit of survival. I was
in the Wall Street area when the first tower collapsed. I am grateful to be
alive. As I walked twelve miles uptown, people were very charitable, offering
water to walkers and victims. I saw lines of volunteers willing to donate blood
and other goods almost immediately.”
Michael Garone '75, of Oakton, Virginia: “I stayed late at one of the hospitals in
northern Virginia to help with the care of survivors. Unfortunately, there were
not very many. Our hospital was mostly asked to send body bags, which sank our
hearts even lower, as if that were possible.”
John Glidden '69, of Closter, New Jersey: “I was commuting by car to my Manhattan
office. I was on the West Side Highway at about 8:45 and looked up at the World
Trade Center to see a fire break out in the first tower. I stopped to take a
picture, as I had my camera on the front seat. Just then the second plane hit,
and I immediately knew it was a terrorist attack. Within minutes, a
conflagration erupted which will remain indelible in my memory for life. I was
a pilot in Viet Nam and saw many battles, but I have never witnessed such
powerful destruction as this. It cannot be captured on TV.”
Michele Martin '91, of New York City: “I was halfway across West Street, in front of
the WTC, with my two-year-old son, when the first plane hit – we dodged flying
debris to the safety of his nursery school (which is now in bad shape).
Thinking it was an accident, I left my son at school and was heading back to
see the scene, when the second plane hit.”
Warren Mitofsky '56, of New York City: “There are very few people anywhere. Midtown is
still deserted. The movie tonight was practically empty. The Broadway
restaurant had only a few people in it. The streets are empty. This morning, I
was across from St. Vincent's Hospital, where they brought most of the injured.
The TV cameras are still there along with the police lines. If you look south
on 7th, the WTC used to loom over the sky line. We used to joke that if we
knocked them down the view would improve. Whoever would have thought it would
happen. Tonight everyone was walking around with candles. Someone came up to
tell me that they were going around the corner to the fire station that lost
ten men. I did not tell her mine lost seven. I recognized some of them from the
pictures on display. I couldn't stop crying when I first walked by there. It's
heartbreaking.”
Brian Moss '90, of New York City: “I was outside at Chase Plaza (400 feet away) when
the first tower collapsed. I ran as fast as I could to get behind the Chase
Building. Not more than two seconds later, I was engulfed in a cloud of smoke,
ash, and debris. I couldn't breathe or see. I used my hands to feel around the
glass of the Chase Building to find an opening so that I could breathe. It was
the most horrific experience of my life.”
Robert Rosenthal '67, of Stamford, Connecticut: “I arrived at the Wall Street Journal,
directly across the street from the WTC, about 9:15. I saw the fires on top of
the building, but in optimism, assumed they would be quickly extinguished. I
was told the WSJ building was closed, so I made my way a block west to the
river. (Had I chosen east to return to the subway, I would have been under a
rain of debris when the first tower collapsed.) At the river's edge, I stopped
to observe the fires, and horrifically watched as five people jumped to a quick
death, a gruesome sight I still see when I close my eyes. An emergency worker
then told everyone to evacuate the area, so I started walking north along the
river esplanade. I was just north of the Winter Garden marina, when I heard the
loud rumbling sound of the tower collapsing. I turned to look and saw a huge
cloud of dust and debris hurtling my way. I took off to the north, along with
hundreds of others, running hard. I was on the lee side of an apartment building,
when the dust cloud blew out over the river, and then prevailing winds took it
south. I was not touched. I met up with two WSJ editors and started walking
uptown, figuring to walk to Grand Central Station and go home. I turned to
watch at one point, and I was an eyewitness to the collapse of the second
tower. In the middle of that collapse, I observed two, thirty-story vertical
girders that stood alone for about five seconds, and I thought that they eerily
and briefly resembled the Eiffel Tower. When I heard that all train service was
halted, I accompanied my colleagues to one's apartment on 72nd Street, where I
helped them set up a small editing environment, from which they filed some
stories to the much-abbreviated Wednesday newspaper.”
Lynn Weinbaum '90, of New York City: “I was in Chase Plaza, at my desk, trying to
return frantic voicemails. I stayed there too long, and when the towers
collapsed, our building was engulfed in smoke, soot, ash, and debris. We were
trapped inside for several hours. Finally we were allowed to evacuate – given a
surgical mask and a bottle of water and told to walk northeast.”
Schenectady, N.Y. (Feb. 18, 2002)
– Cynthia Enloe, a feminist scholar and author of a number of books and articles on feminist perspectives
on world politics and the military, will be the keynote speaker at Union
College's Founders Day convocation on Thursday, Feb. 28, at 11:30 a.m. in Memorial Chapel.
The event, which celebrates the 207th anniversary of the founding of the College, is free and open to the public.
Enloe, professor of government and director of women's studies at Clark
University, will give a talk titled “What Does it Mean to be a Global Citizen in a Militarized World? Some Feminist Clues.” She is to receive an honorary doctor of laws degree from the College.
Enloe is the author of Maneuvers:
The International Politics of Militarizing Women's Lives; The Morning After: Sexual Politics at the End of the Cold War; Bananas, Beaches and Bases: Making Feminist Sense of International Politics; and Does Khaki Become You?
In Maneuvers, Enloe argues that
militarization affects not just those involved with the military; it is a
personal and political transformation that relies on ideas about femininity and masculinity. Film, fashion and even food contribute to militaristic values that mold our culture in both war and peace, she writes.
The convocation also will include the presentation of the Gideon Hawley
Teacher Recognition Award to a high school teacher who has been influential to a Union student.
Schenectady, N.Y. (Feb. 18, 2002) – Nineteen-year-old pianist Lang Lang has burst upon the international musical scene with unparalleled excitement and acclaim. He will perform in his Capital District debut at Union College's Memorial Chapel on Feb. 28 at 8 p.m.
The performance will feature Haydn's Sonata in E; Mendelssohn's Fantasy; Chopin's 2 Nocturnes; Schubert's Wanderer Fantasy; and Liszt's Paganini Etudes. Lang Lang's performance
at Union College will be included in a documentary of his life currently being
filmed by the French film company, ARTE.
Hailed by The Chicago Tribune as the biggest, most exciting keyboard talent encountered in many years, and already performing with the world's leading orchestras, Lang Lang has shown himself to be an artist of significant maturity and depth. When he made his sold-out Carnegie Hall debut in April 2001 with the Baltimore Symphony under Yuri Temirkanov, The New York Times called him “stunning.” In August 2001 he made his London
debut at the BBC Proms performing Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 3 with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, conducted by Temirkanov. The Times of London wrote: “Lang Lang took a sold-out Albert Hall by storm … This could well be history in the making.”
Born in Shen Yang, China, Lang Lang began his piano studies at the age of three with Professor Zhu Ya-Fen from the Shen Yang Conservatory of Music. At the age of nine he entered the Central Music Conservatory in Beijing, where he studied with Professor Zhao Ping-Guo. Excelling in all aspects of his classes, he was accepted in 1997 into the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia where he currently studies with Gary Graffman, the Director of the Institute.
In the 2001/02 season Lang Lang will make his debuts with the New York
Philharmonic and the Chicago Symphony. He will tour Europe with the NDR
Symphony Orchestra of Hamburg under the direction of Christoph Eschenbach, and
Asia with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic under Temirkanov. In December 2001 he performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Wolfgang Sawallisch in their final subscription concerts at the Academy of Music. The season also includes orchestral engagements with the Atlanta, Houston and Seattle symphonies, the London Philharmonic with Eschenbach and the NHK Symphony of Japan with Charles Dutoit, as well as debut recitals at the Kennedy
Center's Terrace Theatre in Washington, D.C., Wigmore Hall in London and the
Louvre in Paris.
This past June Lang Lang toured to Beijing with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Sawallisch on the Orchestra's 100th Anniversary Asian tour, performing to an
audience of 8,000 at the Great Hall of the People. Last season he performed with the San Francisco, St. Louis and Danish National Radio symphonies and the Hallé Orchestra. He gave recitals in Chicago's Orchestra Hall, Los Angeles, Munich, St. Petersburg (Russia), Vancouver and Zurich's Tonhalle.
In September 1996 Lang Lang was invited to perform as one of the soloists at the
inaugural concert of the China National Symphony, which President Jiang Ze Min
attended as guest of honor. In 1996 at the age of 13, Lang Lang gave solo recitals both at New York's Steinway Hall and Beijing's Concert Hall where
he performed the complete Chopin 24 etudes.
Lang Lang has won numerous awards at international competitions beginning at the age of five, when he won first prize in the Shen Yang Piano Competition after which he gave his first public recital. He won first prize in the Fifth Xing Hai Cup Piano Competition in Beijing, first prize and outstanding artistic performance in the Fourth International Young Pianists Competition in Germany and first prize at the Second Tchaikovsky International Young Musicians Competition held in 1995 in Japan.
Lang Lang is an exclusive Steinway
artist and records exclusively for Telarc Records. His first album is a
recital recorded live at Tanglewood's Ozawa Hall.
His second album, which will be released in the spring of 2002, features
Rachmaninoff's Third Concerto recorded live during the London Proms at Royal
Albert Hall.Further information can be found at www.LangLang.com.
Note: Any articles, interviews or reviews should refer to Lang Lang as
“Lang Lang” and not “Lang” or “Mr. Lang.” “Lang Lang” is the proper usage of his name.
Tickets at $20 ($8 for students) are available in advance at the Office of Communications, Union College (518) 388-6131 and at the door at 7 p.m. For more information, call 372-3651.
The Union College Concert Series is made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency; additional support comes from the Times Union Newspapers. Memorial Chapel is located near the center of the Union College campus. Parking is available on campus and nearby side streets.
