Wilbur Franklin Kerr, angular 67-year old native New
Jerseyite, who this week entered upon 18 months of
combined vacation and leave of absence from Princeton
University and thereby started writing "finis" to an
academic career unparalleled in the annals of this strik-
ingly academic community. At the end of his leave,
in June of 1948, Kerr will have completed an even half-
century in the University's service and will have created
a longevity record that will probably stand as long as
the sons of Princeton swing their hats "in praise of
Old Nassau."
Born in Columbus and a Princetonian since 1889,
Kerr, because of circumstances beyond his control, com-
pleted three years of formal schooling, buried a burning
desire to become a physician and went to work in 1895
as a University officeboy. From 1897 until 1900 he was
absent from the campus, assisting his father in the
Princeton branch office of the Adams Express Company.
At the dawn of the century he returned to the cloistered
side of Nassau Street and entered the Registrar's Office.
Serving under five heads of the University, starting
with Francis Landey Patton and including Edward D.
Duffield, acting, president in 1932-33, Kerr's remarkable
tour of duty has bracketed the most significant develop-
ments in Princeton history. He has helped Princeton
grow, from a sleepy residential college of 1,150 students
in 1900, into one of the nation's great liberal arts uni-
versities, sheltering a Gl-dominated undergraduate en-
rollment of 3,465 in 1946. Woodrow Wilson's precep-
torial method of instruction, the introduction of inde-
pendent study for upperclassmen and the inevitable ex-
pansion of the curriculum in all fields of learning added
to the complexity of his office's problems.
As absorbed as he has been with his university respon-
sibilities, not taking an hour off in the past six years,
Kerr has made time for municipal activities. Currently
completing his 18th year as a member of the Borough
Board of Education and a former elder of the Second
Presbyterian Church, he has been president of Hook and
Ladder and Chemical Engine Company Number One
"longer than one should remember." Incidentally, he
joined the Company some four decades ago "in order
to catch on the ball team," an ambition that didn't in-
terfere with his ascension to the post of Borough Fire
Chief in 1925.
For wholeheartedly dedicating his life to the ideals that
"his university" represents; for constantly and anonymously
helping others gain the education that was denied to him;
for his ability to radiate at retirement the convictions of
his youth; he is Town Topics' candidate for

Robberies on Upswing. Half a dozen
stores, as many more houses have been
broken into in recent weeks. Articles
in cars have been stolen, or the cars
themselves have disappeared. Most of
the latter are of the "ride-borrowing"
variety: a Cadillac owned by Mrs. H.
C. Sturhahn was taken from the drive-
way at "Avalon," found abandoned in
Trenton next day.
This week, police reported that they
had nabbed four juveniles who confessed
to entering or attempting to enter six
stores: DuPraz, Kreeley's, Castanea,
Food Mart, Poultry Market and the
Princeton Recreation Center. Total loot
was nearly $300, half in cash, the rest
in fountain pens, flashlights, small radios.
Ages of the quartet involved were
14 to 16, although one was an Annadale
Reformatory parole violator. Ironically
enough, the four were picked up be-
cause they became involved in a boyish
squabble in the Garden Theatre, got
thrown out into the hands of Patrolmen
Chasko and Knowles.
From the C. W. McGraw home last
weekend, $200 in jewelry vanished, in-
cluding four miniature gold footballs
and a silver cigarette case, the latter
given Mr. McGraw for services as head
of the war-time reserve police. Most
serious theft to date: nearly $2,000
worth of silver from the S. L. Tatter-
sails on Library Place. Small comfort to
irritated Princetonians and harassed
police was the fact that the trend was
nation-wide, far worse in many another
community.

I It's New to Us
Q •••• â–
The Women's turn is here, and we
hope we can be of some help in solving
the Christmas problem for them and
their perplexed men. Last week we made
1 an effort to unearth gifts for Men;
next week the Children will have their
innings.
The Center. At risk of sounding like
an almanac listing the proper categor-
ies for wedding anniversary gifts, we
will try to summarize the abundance
here in the following fashion: Paper —
washable place mats by famous artists
from Grant Wood to Luigi Lucioni,
adaptable, colorful, 75 cents each; F. A.
, coasters that tie in perfectly, $1.95 per
' set of 12. Straw — scrapbaskets, fruit or
bread baskets, knitting cr shopping bags
are among all kinds of bright ideas exe-
cuted tastefully in straw, from 25 cents
up. Wood — lots of it, our favorites an
hors d'oeuvre tray outfitted with tooth-
picks; salad bowls, large and individual;
a nut dish, plus hammer and candle-
sticks with a rustic air, $2 and up.
Metal — handpainted trays, scrapbaskets,
flower and pot containers, all attractive,
the latter especially so, from $1.75 up.
Leather — nothing has been emitted along
leather lines, which go from 'phone
book covers, portrait albums, address
and engagement books (rcfillab'.e) to
Time — Life — New Yorker ■— Readers
Digest covers and everything for
the card player and smoker. From 75
cents up. Porcelain and Glass — Ador-
able miniature porcelain boxes (uses
are many — you can find your own) ;
entrancingly feminine handpainted glass
and milk glass dressing table bottles.
75 cents and up.
Elise Goupil. A lady who has special-
ized in rescuing males in a Christmas
shopping quandary is ready and able to
continue her assistance, particularly
when it comes to lingerie. Bedjackets,
Jaquard (for the uninitiated, that means
a brocaded type of pure silk!) and re-
versible quilted rayon sheer; slip and
nightgown ensembles, more Jacquard in
blue, pink and white, also in rayon
satin with real Alencon lace, very lus-
cious; robes, brocade rayon, lovely pas-
tels, lovely robes; handkerchiefs, do-
mestic and imported, colors, pure whites.
Thome's Drug Store. Swansdown pow-
der puffs are back and in three sizes,
and for the benefit of the gentlemen
who are ignorant on such subjects, thers
is nothing like them; "TicTacToe" by
Lelong, a small folding leather case
with three different lipsticks, eyecatch-
ing and useful, only $1.50; "Tigress" by
Faiberge, an appropriately striped box
with perfume and cologne in bottles with
"genuine" tigerskin covers, heady frag-

The Playhouse
Song of the South (Fri., Sat.) is the
Disney-conceived version of Uncle Remus
and his carefree tales. The film would
have benefitted from more animation,
less live photography, still is a treat
for all.
Two Years Before the Mast (All
Week), despite considerable liberties
taken with the Richard Henry Dana or-
iginal, is a first-rate tale of adventure
on the high seas. Injecting impressment,
mutiny and murder into the plot where
the book had none, the film deviates
from the truth but is always good en-
tertainment. With William Bendix,
Brian Donlevy, Alan Ladd.
The Garden
My Pal Trigger (Fri., Sat.) features
that well-known steed and Roy Rogers
in a biographical story ahout the horse.
It's another satisfactory western.
Rebecca (Mon., Tues., Wed.) is a re-
issue of the famous Daphne du Maurier
novel about the love of two people for
each other and a sinister housekeeper
who is capable of all manner of evil.
With Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine,
Judith Anderson. An excellent picture.
Young Widow (Thurs., Fri., Sat.)
isn't a bad story despite all the trashy
publicity given the film in other com-
munities. Starring Jane Russell, it tells
of a newspaperwoman whose husband is
killed in the war and of her eventual
ability to carry on without him.
