Martin P. Catherwood (January 28, 1904 November 23, 1978)
Few members of Cornell's faculty have served the University, New York State, and
the Ithaca community with such
devotion and distinction as Martin P. Catherwood. To these employments he brought
energy, probing Intelligence,
administrative skills, and close knowledge of industry, labor, and government.
As a result of the close working relationship that had developed between the State
Planning Board and the Joint
Legislative Committee on Industrial and Labor Conditions headed by Irving M. Ives,
the majority leader of the
Assembly, the legislature created the Division of Commerce as of May 1, 1941. Governor
Herbert H. Lehman
appointed Catherwood as the first commissioner of commerce and Governor Thomas E.
Dewey continued him in
that office. In this important and pioneering post, Catherwood set the foundations
and structure for the division
that it has retained ever since.
This collection consists of a single letter written by Martin P. Catherwood, Industrial
Commissioner for the New York State Department of Labor, to Joseph Raffel, Senior
Industrial Investigator for the New York State Department of Labor, concerning Mr
Raffel's completion of a staff development seminar at Cornell University. The original
cover is included. The lack of a stamp or post mark on the cover indicates that the
letter may have been hand delivered.
The donor, Mr Raffel's granddaughter, included one of Mr Raffel's business cards.
