Saturday;
Frament No. 1
With the advent of long-awaited
good weather, the tennis team h a s
opened its schedule by playing
matches against R P I and Siena.
On May 8, the Statesmen journeyed
to Troy
and
absorbed
a 9-0 defeat a t the h a n d s of
t h e Trojans of R P I .
Due to
lack of courts on which lo practice, the racqueteers were in no condition to play good tennis against
the well-drilled Tech .squad. T h e
following day the Teachers regained
some of their prestige by taking a
close decision over Siena 5-4. This
match was played on the Rldgefield
courts on P a r t r i d g e street.
Rained Out
Last .Saturday, the Purple and
Cold journeyed to Vermont to engage St. Michael's tennis team only
lo have Ihe match rained out at the
last moment. T h e boys did have a
nice ride and also collected their
guarantee. T h u s the S t a t e squad
has a record of one win and one loss
up lo the present writing. A match
al Connecticut Stale was booked for yesterday.
Saturday, the Statesmen will journey to New Jersey to meet the racquet-swingers of Seton hall. With
more practice sessions under their
belts, the Teachers will put a formidable team on the courts. The
remainder of the schedule is as follows: May 21, Connecticut State
Teachers; May 22, R P I , and May 24,
Siena. All of these mulches will be
played on the Ridgefield courts.
Squad Members
T h e present tennis squad is composed of Will F r a m e n t , c a p t a i n - m a n ager, number one m a n ; Stan Smith,
number two; Hank Brainier, n u m ber three; Harry Kensky, number
lour; and George Pearson, number
five. T h e sixtli position is only tentative from match to match and
those fighting for the spot include
Jack Vavasour, Al Stiller, Gordon
Bennett, Dutch Schultz, a n d Bill
Phipps. Phipps and Kensky arc recruits from the class of '43. T h e
remainder of the squad is made up
of veterans from last season.
Of

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, MAY 16, 1940

Dr. "Tommy"to Teach at Cornell;
Plans Book on Racial Folklore
by June Haushalter
This June State will say goodbye
to a man who has been on the college faculty for twenty-five years
—Dr. Harold W. Thompson, professor of English. Dr. "Tommy"
came here in September, 1915, on
his first teaching job and has been
teaching ever since, except for the
two years when he was on leave of
absence.
The first of these "vacations" came
In the school year 1925-26 when
he went to Scotland on a Guggenheim grant. In the summer of 1927
he was awarded this fellowship
again. The result of these years
of study abroad was Scottish Man
of Feeling, published in 1931. His
other leave of absence came last year
when Dr. Tommy, the recipient of a
Rockefeller grant for that year, finished writing his book on the folklore of New York state, Body, Boots,
and Britches.
In his years of teaching here, Dr.
Thompson has tried to combine literature with history and music,—"to
cut across departmental lines," as he
says, "a thing which many of the
faculty do." His favorite course is
American folk literature, where the
students do original research work.
He has used a great deal of this
student research material in writing his latest book. "In a way,"
says Dr. Tommy, "Body, Boots,
and Britches is a State college
book."
Not only does this course teach
students how to do original research
work, but also teaches them how to
get acquainted with their own section of the country.
Next September will see Dr.
Thompson a professor of English at
Cornell. He will specialize in American literature and folk literature,
but will also have a sophomore course
in introduction to Shakespeare, and
a seminar for graduate students in
Scotch literature.
At Cornell Dr. Thompson will have
fewer hours of teaching arid consequently more time to work on his
new book, which will show the folklore of New York state along racial
lines. He is also under contract to
write a book about the Niagara river
for a series on American rivers. Carl
Carmer's Tlie Hudson is one of the
books in the series.
