He practiced law in New York's financial districl with Chadbourne, H unt, Jaeckel, and Drown from 1936 to 1941. Mr. Cormeoy's duties with New York. Shipbuilding have included general business policy and administration and specific functions of sales contract negotiation and administration, public and industrial relalions and personnel work. Mr. Cormeny accepted the office of president of the Institute because he ~ in it an opportunity to be of service, to the school, its students, und industry. In an informal talk with a TECH News reporter, he said that Lhe problems of a privately endowed college like Worcester Tech in maintaining high standards in the quality of its graduates, who a re to compete with graduates or government endowed schools, are much the ~me as the problems of private in~ dustry without the aid of government subsidies.

As we all know so well, a very very disturbing and unfortunate incident took plac~ dur~ng the snake dance l~st r.nday rught. It appears at thss time that those Tech students who were involved will emerge from the unpleasant situation in as good a condition, reputation-wise, as could be expected. We sincerely hope that the name of Worcester Tech will not be bemired. For we must remembe~ th~t our hands are not s potless m thts matter. The worcester police force seem to be those who will bear the heavy burden of public opinion and attendent investigationa - perhaps they deserve it. But we should remember that the police are in a difficult situation in such matters, and that the whole pollee force will bear much of the blame which, if leveled, shouJd probably be leveled against only a few individuals. We ahould remember that we were not conducting our rally in such n way as to be of g reatest benefit to pedestrians and motorists in downtown W orcester. We certainly did nothing seriously wrong if we did anything wrong - but in our enthusiasm we were thoughtless and did not act very maturely. We can have rallies and snake dances. with police permission. on and reasonably nearby the campus. and in this way avoid any of the public indignation, property damage, and physical violence which have dogged these things in recent years.
