Time passes for all of us, and those who live in foreign countries may wonder what impression we make on the natives. An ugly book has appeared on this subject recently. Last year we visited Tuscany after an absence of many years. I got off the train carrying a well-wrapped umbrella, a tennis racquet and a typewriter, feeling for all the world like "the private secretary" in the play of that title. I came alive when one of the onlookers shouted, "E arrivato il Major Thompson!"


It is now twenty years that we have been married, and my wife has thus far endured a character full of fads, foibles, fussiness and contradictions. Do we mellow with age, and if not, why? I often wonder.


Italy is rapidly becoming industrialized, which is all to the good, but the Italians realize the dangers of "dehumanization," the tide of which they would stem. Politically there is improvement, but there are things yet to be achieved. In the meantime it is nice to live in a country where one may still sit down at the dinner table when entertaining guests. A well served dinner is conducive to good conversation, and, as my father-in-law used to say, "One does not grow old at the dinner table." I would like to believe this.

I have spent a rather lonely five years since the death of my well- loved spouse; but contact with young people, two summer school sessions, singing in church and two choral groups, attending one football game a year, digging in the good earth, together with occa- sional concert and theatre trips to the city to rub off the country rust, all make life worth living.

Our son, Frank, graduated from the Boston University Law School in 1959.

Harvard Class of 1925


Princess St., Wilmington, N.C. Married, Helen E. Johnson, June 28, 1930, St. Paul, Minn. (divorced 1946); Ada Underwood, Dec. 6, 1952. Children, George Rountree, 3d, Aug. 10, 1933; Isabella Frances, Nov. 7, 1937.


I have been engaged since 1929 in the general practice of law, first with my father, George Rountree, of the Class of 1877, until his death in 1942; thereafter I practised alone until 1958 when the present firm was formed with George T. Clark, Jr. My practice is general and varied, involving all the bag of human troubles from abandonment to zoning - even disintegration. In Carolina, hunt- ing, fishing and golf are like the Old Howard: never out and never over.


HARRY ERNEST RUBENS: Patent Lawyer. Home Address, 6460 Penfield Ave., Woodland Hills, Calif .; 2 Sutton Pl., S., New York 22, N.Y. Ofice Address, 11 Park Pl., New York 7, N.Y. Married, Jeanne Carrol, Sept. 4, 1930, New York.


In 1956, after completing twenty-five years of effort in science and law, specializing as a patent lawyer, I set aside a good portion of my time for some philanthropic activity. Listing human problems in the order of their importance, I found one near the top of the list, which although seemingly hopeless of solution, nevertheless appealed to my investigating and inquiring talents. Cancer has baffled all since time began, but it seemingly offers a closer solution than war and death. I could do no original work, but remembering that penicillin was buried in the literature until some prying eye unearthed it, I set about reading and sifting the facts. (I even tried to interest I.B.M. in the statistical problem. )


After three years I arrived at these conclusions: That cancer growths are supported by an endocrine imbalance; that certain forms of short wave irradiation are stimulating to the endocrine glands; and that endocrine stimulation can bring about endocrine balance and retard cancer growth. ( These conclusions are discussed in greater detail in "An Engineer Looks at the Cancer Problem," Harvard Engineering Bulletin, October, 1956.) Only one doctor has responded to my efforts to test these conclusions. With his help, I have set up a small project in a hospital. Seemingly favorable response of a few patients has justified extension into a larger group, which is now being undertaken.


Concurrently, I have undertaken to perfect an instrument for


167


35th Anniversary Report


determining the degree of endocrine imbalance. Such an instru- ment will eliminate the blood sampling before and after treatment.


I have been informed by an authority that orthodox treatments involving surgery and X-rays will actually reduce the life expectancy as against untreated patients. There is a real urgency in our efforts.
