Albert Cornsweet of Cleveland, was elected captain of Brown University’s football team for 1928, at an election which shattered precedents here. Cornsweet, star fullback and honor student, is the first non-fraternity man since 1890 to be captain of the football team.

Cornsweet was recently elected to Sphinx an organization that picks its members for intellectual attainments as well as sociability. He is an assistant in the biology department and is a candidate for final honors.

Cornsweet has won four varsity letters, two in football, one in wrestling and one in lacrosse. Recently he was elected to Pi Kappa, honorary society.

Aside from his honors in athletics, Cornsweet has achieved an excellent record in his studies.
