Abel discuss the history of CEE Authors: Abel, John F.; Philpot, William Douglas Abstract: Prof. Philpot describes his (circuitous) path to research in remote sensing and to joining the faculty in remote sensing in CEE. The discussion turns to the range of research that existed prior to Philpot’s arrival, primarily photogrammetry and airphoto interpretation as applied to a variety of engineering activities along with reminiscences of individual faculty: Don Belcher, Ta Liang and Warren Philipson. The interview closes with a general description of some of Philpot’s research activities.

Evans Authors: Evans, Howard E.; Hermanson, John W. (Interviewer) Abstract: Howard E. Evans, an emeritus member of the Cornell Veterinary Faculty, was interviewed by John W. Hermanson on October 27, 2012. Evans describes how his interests brought him to Cornell, where his studies were interrupted by WWII. His passion for the study of animals brought him back to Cornell and then to the Vet School. His colorful career as a public citizen and as a world renowned anatomist led him to participate in Cornell as a faculty-elected trustee and to explore many veterinary issues with animals of numerous species — including co-authoring five classic texts used worldwide. His long retirement (since 1986) has been filled with excitement too — from guiding numerous Cornell Adult University tours to various parts of the world to volunteering as a naturalist in the Ithaca public schools. Get acquainted with this legendary personality. Supplemental resources include: Howard E. Evans – Short Vita, Selected Memorial Statements: Anatomy Faculty at Cornell (20 memorials) and A History of Anatomy at Cornell by Howard E. Evans. (17 pages). [Interview video running time: 52 minutes] An 8-minute video of a surprise celebration for Dr. Howie Evans 90th: “Happy 90th Birthday to Dr. Howie Evans, anatomist extraordinaire and beloved professor of countless Cornell veterinarians! Dr. Evans continues coming to work even today, updating his seminal text on dog anatomy and collecting goodies for volunteer visits to local schoolchildren. He continually inspires people of all ages with show-and-tell wonders from across the animal kingdom.”; Additional resources include a short vita, a short history of the early days of anatomy at Cornell and a collection of memorial statements for most of the anatomy faculty mentioned in the history.; The cover story in the Fall/Winter 2004 issue of Cornell Veterinary Medicine, rara avis, is a profile of Howie.

Cranch Authors: Cranch, Edmund T.; Moon, Francis C. (Interviewer) Abstract: This former dean of engineering, Edmund T. Cranch, gave a wide-ranging, 97 minute interview that was led by friend and colleague, Frank C. Moon . He recounts how he was drawn to a career in engineering. After employment at Bell Labs and a stint in WWII, Cranch returned to Ithaca for further study and immediately thereafter was appointed to the faculty. He is well-known for his role in writing “Engineering Mathematics” (a classic that enhanced the strength of the undergraduate engineering program). He advanced through the administrative ranks from Department Chair and then to Associate Dean of Engineering. His faculty colleagues elected him to a five-year term on the Cornell University Board of Trustees. His leadership skills were demonstrated through his leading of two major university committees —one on long-range financial planning (a.k.a., the Cranch Report) and (1974-1976) the Committee on Special Educational Projects (a.k.a., COSEP). After almost six years as Dean of Engineering at Cornell, he served as president of Worcester Polytechnic Institute.; Ed Cranch’s personal qualities of “…unassuming manner, openness, attentiveness, and kindness”, his “… underlying courage and toughness” and his “…respect for the opinions of others” made him an especially effective leader. Supplemental resources include articles from the Cornell Chronicle, the Engineering Quarterly and the two volume book, “Engineering Mathematics.” [Running time: 97 minutes.] 2012-10-27T00:00:00Z
