F.KetterIr Is Atimnus Of the Year' Ohio State Graduate Third To Be Honored Charles F. Kettering, noted in- ventor and retired vice-president of General Motors, yesterday was named "Alumnus of the Year" by the American Alumni Council meeting here Monday through Thursday. Kettering, an alumnus of Ohio State University, is the third per- son to receive the award. He was chosen from among the world's 8,000,000 graduates. Mme. Chiang Kai-shek received the award in 1944 and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1946. Some 350 alumni directors from American and Canadian institu- tions are attending the 33rd an- nual council conference. Kettering was cited by the group for his work as a research scien- tist, as an inventor and as a hu- manitarian for his work in con- nection with the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer research. He was also praised as an "American, whose rise from hum- ble background to international eminence has demonstrated the power of education and a free society to develop a productive citizen and a noble soul." In addressing the council, Ket- tering advised college graduates "not to get discouraged at repeat- ed failures." He ranked practice and the ability to profit from fail- ure as the chief factors of success. Culture Based On Language.. Prof. Hockett Only by putting words on paper and developing languages was all of man's culture arrived at, ac- cording to Prof. Charles F. Hock- ett, assistant professor of linguis- tics, Cornell University. Dr. Hockett, who spoke yester- day before the Linguistic Insti- tute, described writing as the sec- ond fundamental technological and biological revolution in hu- man development, preceded only by language. "Writing is man's external brain and its existence produced the cumulative effect of 15,000 years of human development," he said. For hundreds of thousands of years mankind struggled through an existence learning slowly and repeating mistakes made genera- tions before because there was no way to record the answers. With the advent of writing, about 15,000 years ago, the rate of man's en- tire development was vastly in- creased, he stated. "This means of spanning time and space permitted us to write chemical formulas and logarithms that the human mind could not retain," Dr. Hockett said. l " J I F'/ 4 B L A C K W I D O W E R A N D F A M I L Y-This black swan, from Winston Churchill's Chartwell estate at Kent, England, leads his six motherless offspring around London zoo lake.
