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.
