A petition, signed by all but one member of the present junior class in thecollege, and approved by the college Faculty, requesting that such a course be authorized, was received by the Committee.

While there may possibly be some dimunition in numbers, owing to the War, it is felt that the Summer Session affords to many secondary school teachers a valuable opportunity for mental refreshment which should not be withdrawn. An attractive list of courses has been provided. The four courses in education and mental tests are to be in charge of Professor Ogden and Mr. Louis B. Hoisington. Dr. Matzke and Dr. Gordon will give the courses in physical education for women. The work in manual training will be in charge of Messrs. Wells, Wood, Hooper, and Griffith. Mr. Griffith and Miss Everest will repeat their popular course in design in fine and applied art. In psychology Professor Weld will be in charge. In English, courses will be given by Professors Monroe and Broughton as usual; Professor Northup will give the teachers' course and a course in Victorian literature; and Professor W. Strunk will give an attractive course in modern drama. Professor Winans will teach public speaking. One of the instructors in French will be Louis A. Roux, head of the French department in Newark Academy. A course in military French is offered and in both French and Spanish there will be provided special facilities for conversational practice. As was to be expected, the number of German courses is reduced from nine to five; but these will be given by teachers of marked ability. Latin courses will be in charge of Professor Frank H. Cowles (Ph.D. Ί6), of Wabash College. In hivStory and government courses will be given by Professors Bretz, W. E. Lunt, of Haverford College, and Orth; while Professor Othon G. Guerlac will return to give courses on French history and thought, and the relations of France and America. In economics the work will be in charge of Professor Reed and Mr. Clyde O. Fisher. The music courses remain strong. The department numbers seventeen instructors. Miss Bryant, of the Ithaca High School, returns to the staff and Ernest Kroeger of St. Louis will return to conduct three normal courses for piano teachers. Work in geology, chemistry, and physics will be substantially as offered last year. New courses in zoology are to be given by Professor Hugh D. Reed and Mr. Shadle. Veblen Comes From Missouri U. of M. Man Appointed Professor of Economics—Other Changes At the meeting of the Administration Committee last Saturday, appointments were made and leaves of absence granted as necessitated by the departure of members of the instructing staff on military and other Government work. Dr. Thorstein B. Veblen of the University of Missouri was appointed professor of economic institutions. Dr. Veblen is a Bachelor of Arts of Carleton College, Northfield, Minn., in the class of 1880, and took the doctor's degree at Yale in 1884. He held a Cornell fellowship in political economy and finance in 1891-92. He taught political economy at the University of Chicago till 1906, and then at Stanford University till 1909. He resigned an associate professorship at Stanford to take a professorship of economics at the University of Missouri. His publications include "The Theory of the Leisure Class," 1899; "The Theory of Business Enterprise," 1904; "The Instinct of Workmanship," 1914, and "Imperial Germany and the Industrial Revolution," 1915. Dr. Alfred Henry Sweet was reappointed acting assistant professor of English history for 1918-19. The following leaves of absence for National service were granted: To Professor D. H. Udall and Assistant Professor W. E. Muldoon of the Veterinary College, from February 15 to the end of the year; to V. C. Dunlap, assistant in botany, from February 28 to May 22. The following appointments were made : Mrs. Helen B. Owens, lecturer in mathematics for the second term, part time; J. A. Becker, assistant in physics; W. P. Woodcock, M. W. LaFaver, E. T. Schultz, and P. Heins, jr., assistants in military science and tactics. The following appointments were made to the instructing staff in psychology: B. L. Swartz, general and research assistant; M. J. Zigler, instructor, and Josephine M. Gleason, instructor. S. A. Richardson was appointed instructor in the Veterinary College to carry on the work of Assistant Professor Muldoon, who has leave of absence for National service. Leave of absence from March 1 to the end of the term was granted to Professor Martha Van Rensselaer of the Department of Home Economics. T H E SAGE CHAPEL PREACHER last Sunday was the Reverend John Wellington Hoag of the Woodward Avenue Baptist Church of Detroit. Britain's Ideals Both Are Fighting for Self-determination of Peoples, Says President Schurman In this great war for the self-determination of all peoples, the ideals and practices of Great Britain are identical with our own. Such is the conclusion expressed by President Jacob Gould Schurman in his History of Civilization lecture last Friday on "The Democratic Ideals and Achievements of England as a World Power." President Schurman traced the history of Great Britain from the reign of Elizabeth down to 1914. He said it was vitally important that we should know and understand our allies; and Great Britain is our greatest ally. "If we can't win the war with our allies, we can't win alone," he declared. Nation-building is done in one of three ways: by conquest without incorporation, by conquest with incorporation, or by incorporation with representation. England has been the most conspicuous among the nations which have employed the third method. The history of Great Britain is one of the vindication of the rights of the people as against their sovereigns, and of making secure the people's inalienable rights. President Schurman said that in her treatment of the American colonies England used for the last time the wrong conception of colonies. Up to that time the general conception had been that all colonies were for the benefit of the conquering state, regardless of the people living therein. England afterward recognized her mistake in regard to the American colonies and resolved that English-speaking people henceforth in all parts of the world must have representation and self-government. Up to 1914 no scheme or constitution was ever drawn for the regulation of the colonies which was acceptable to the colonies. The greatest English minds had tried to put into writing what was actually done in 1914. It had always been asked, were the colonies really united with the Empire ? In 1914 the answer came. What theory could not settle action did. The colonies all rushed to the aid of the Empire and proved conclusively that they were united. At the first sight it might seem that India rebutted the statement that England stood for self-determination; but India did not. He characterized India as a multitude of languages and a multitude of religions. There is no national entity in India. The statesmen CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS 291 of Britain have been slowly but definitely giving India an entity; but she isnot ready for self-government. President Schurman asked if India would be better off under the government of any other state, andestablished that theanswer is no. He likened India to the Philippines. We have given thepeople of the Philippines just as much self-government as we think they are capable of properly using, and when they areready for complete home rule they will get it. President Schurman declared hedid not approve of everything Great Britain has done, but he did approve of her great controlling principles. He deplored the Boer War, but declared that England has atoned for it by giving the Boers self-government and the people have proved their loyalty to theEmpire by their response in this war. SECOND TRACTOR SCHOOL The Tractor School, a special course in the operation of farm trucks and tractors, begun on February 18, came to an end last Saturday. There were forty students, all but three from the State of New York. The number of applicants was so large that the Department of Farm Mechanics has found it necessary to repeat the course during the three weeks beginning Monday, March 11. For this second school about the same number is registered. The daily program consists of two lectures, at eight and at one o'clock, each followed by a three-hour period of practice: that is, taking apart, assembling, adjusting, repairing, and running the machines. The demand for the course comes from the largely increased use of tractors throughout the state and from the lack of men onthe farms. The work is under the direction of Professor Robb. WAR TAKES PSYCHOLOGISTS The Department of Psychology, with the largest laboratory registration inits history, was entirely without instructors or assistants until the appointments made Saturday by the Committee on General Administration. Professor Titchener of the Graduate School and Professor Weld were until then the only members of the instructing staff remaining in Ithaca. Professor William S. Foster is now senior instructor, Sanitary Corps, at Camp Greenleaf, with the commission of major. Instructors Edwin G. Boring and Karl M. Dallenbach, with commissions as captains, have recently resigned to enter the same camp, while assistants Homer G. Bishop and A FAMILIAR FIGURE ON THE CAMPUS Photograph by O. D. von Engeln '08 Jack Teed, who sells the "Sat'd'y Evenin' Post" at the Cascadilla Bridge is well known to recent generations of students. He is the successor to Henry the Candy Man of earlier days. Forrest L. Dimmick have enlisted there as privates, and after two months' training will be detailed to certaincantonments as assistants in making mental tests of enlisted menas they enter the service. The Department of Psychology will manage to run by dropping one course and by making use of part time of L. B. Hoisington of the Department of Education and full time of the three new members of the staff whowere appointed Saturday. ZINNECKER GOES TO N. Y. U. Dr. Wesley D. Zinnecker (Ph.D. Ί 2 ) , for the last seven years instructor in German, has been appointed assistant professor of German in NewYork Uni- versity. He will devote all his time to instruction in Washington Square College. Dr. Zinnecker graduated Ph.B. from the German Wallace College, Ohio, in 1903. After several years of successful teaching in secondary schools he came to Cornell as instructor and graduate student. His doctoral thesis was entitled "A Study of Tendenz in Literature with Special Reference to the German Drama." He is also the author of a highly successful textbook forthe study of German, "Deutsch fur Anf anger." T H E SAGE CHAPEL PREACHER for next Sunday will be the Reverend William Pierson Merrill, D.D., of the Brick Presbyterian Church of New York. 292 CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS MILITARY NOTES sition in a masterly way, though he is Norton '18 Has Narrow Escape William K.

Their Speeches and Other Public Utterances in America, and Those of Italian, Belgian and Russian Commissioners during the Great War. Collected and Arranged, with Descriptive Matter, by Francis W. Halsey 73. New York. Funk & Wagnails Company. 1917. 8vo, pp. vi, 369. Price, $1.50 net. . Probably never before in the world's history was there occasion or matter for a book like this. Never before did commissioners from five foreign countries almost simultaneously visit America and experience such receptions as were given the representatives of the British Empire, France, Belgium, Russia, and Italy. And it is equally true that the words uttered on the various occasions when these men appeared in public were not merely diplomatic and tactful utterances, but came from the heart. They spoke of a friendship for America, of an understanding of her fundamental spirit, which would seem to render impossible such differences as cannot be peacefully adjusted. They spoke, too, of a determination not to yield to a brutal and savage foe, a determination which is ominous to despotism. Mr. Balfour holds the faith most firmly that "when democracy sets itself to work, when it really takes the business in hand, it will beat all the autocracies in the world." In such a book there is bound to be much repetition. As an offset to this, however, some points are made to stand out very clearly. One of these is the main purpose of the war. "So long as there is in the world a warlike Germany," said M. Viviani in New York on May 9, "so long as there is a nation of prey, a country bent on oppression, on treachery and violence, so long will democracies be imperiled. If they would save the treasures of civilization and the heritage of mankind which are theirs they must meet the danger, they must be ready, they must arm themselves, but with the purpose never to place the sword at the service of aught but the right." Mr. Halsey's task of supplying the connecting links of the narrative has been well performed. Books and Magazine Articles The second annual volume of "The College Anthology," for the year 1916-17, has lately appeared from the press of the Strafford Company, Boston. It is edited by Dr. Henry T. Schnittkind and contains over three hundred pages of the best poetry written by students of about 110 colleges during the year. Cornell is represented by "The Bluebird," by William P. Alexander (Spec), "The Winds of Day and Night," by Russell Lord '19, "Mirage," by Geraldine Willis '17, and "The Comet," by Samuel Wilson '17. The last named took the Morrison Prize last spring. Two other Cornell poems, not printed, receive honorable mention: "Pilgrims," by Archibald Oboler '17, and "For Humanity," by William Schack '19. The price of the book in cloth is $1.50, postage 15 cents. To The American Physical Education Review for January, recently received, Professor Henry N. Ogden '89 contributes an article on "The Sanitary Aspects of the Swimming Pool at Cornell University." Professor Ogden finds enough sanitary aspects of the pool to fill eight pages. He concludes that "the sanitary quality of the water is above reproach and not open to criticism of any sort." To arrive at this highly satisfactory result, the University uses three times as much disinfectant as is used generally. The Journal of Geology for JanuaryFebruary contains an illustrated article on "Transportation of Debris by Icebergs" by Professor O. D. von Engeln '08. One of the illustrations is a block diagram of the Cayuga Lake basin. The American Museum Journal for February includes a brief article (one page) on "Democracy and Science" by Dr. David Starr Jordan '72 and an illustrated article by Professor Arthur A. Allen '07 on "Photography and Ornithology," including fourteen beautiful photographs of birds in characteristic positions. In The American Review of Reviews for February Philip W. Ayres '84 writes briefly on "Lincoln as a Neighbor." There is a reproduction of an unpublished photograph of Mrs. Lincoln and her two sons in 1861. Professor J. Lawrence Laughlin, formerly of Cornell, writes in the March Scribner's on "The Staying Power of Germany." He concludes that "sooner or later, under constant hammering, the international bully must lose his wind." To "The Cambridge History of American Literature," the first volume of which has lately appeared, Professor Lane Cooper contributes a chapter on "Travelers and Observers, 1763-1846." Allan H. Gilbert '09 contributes to Modern Language Notes for March a note on "Virginia in Eastward Ho." Notice has been received from the publishers of "The College Anthology" that the last day for submitting poems for consideration will be March 15. In Torreya for January, which has lately appeared, Professor Vaughan MacCaughey writes on "The Hawaiian Violaceae" or violets. George T. Hastings of Yonkers writes on "Some Abnormal Poplar Flowers." To The Journal of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae for February, Professor George P. Bristol writes a letter on the lack of vocational appeal in American colleges of to-day. He points out that the work of the college has always been largely vocational, but that it should not become too largely so. In The Quarterly Journal of Speech Education for January, just received, Professor John P. Ryan '02, of Grinnell College, writes on "Terminology: the Department of Speech." "The Broader Aspects of Speech Training" is the subject of a paper by Smiley Blanton '14, written in collaboration with Margaret Gray Blanton. Professor Edwin D. Shurter '92, of the University of Texas, contributes a useful article on "The Rhetoric of Oratory and How to Teach It." In The Cornell Review for February, which has just appeared, Anna C. Kerr '16 writes on "Experiences of a Food Conservation Agent." Miss Kerr is the agent for Seneca County. The American Political Science Review for February includes a paper by Professor Albert T. Olmstead '02 of the University of Illinois, on "Assyrian Government of Dependencies." In The English Historical Review for January, lately received, Professor W. E. Lunt, formerly of Cornell, writes on "The Sources for the First Council of Lyons, 1245." Miss Violet Barbour's "Henry Bennet, Earl of Arlington" is favorably reviewed by C. H. Firth.

The appeal has reached a few persons who have given sums of twenty-five, fifty, or a hundred dollars because they could, because they saw that the Union would increase the efficiency of one of the most intelligent groups of men in the Army, and because they realized that the morale of the fighters is likely to be the deciding factor in the War. Tothe person of smaller means, the appeal has not got across as well. Contributions of one, five, and ten dollars scarcely exceed numerically those of ten times the size. Perhaps the smaller contributions represent a greater sacrifice than dothe larger ones. What of it ? Suppose one gives up every habit he has to support this cause; he is still giving up but an infinitesimal amount in comparison with what those menin France are risking. The Treasurer of the University, Charles D. Bostwick, is the officer to whom contributions should be sent. OBITUARY Winfred B.

A very good lunch is served for sixty cents. THE SPRINGFIELD CLUB The Cornell Club of Springfield held a war smoker at the Cooley Hotel on Saturday, March 2. Robert H. Newcomb, a member of the Publicity Bureau, Council of National Defense, was the speaker and he dealt with subjects relating to war preparations not available for newspaper publication. A musical and stunt program was given in addition to the smoker. At the last meeting of the club the following officers were elected: president, S. E. Whiting '98; vice-president, S. A. Kalberg '10; secretary-treasurer, C. H. Davidson '11. ATHLETICS Wrestling The Cornell wrestling team broke even on a trip to Philadelphia and Annapolis over the week end, defeating the University of Pennsylvania but losing to the midshipmen. In Philadelphia Cornell won three bouts on decision, one on a fall, and one by default, while Penn took one bout by a fall, and one by default. Stafford of Cornell, entered in the 158-pound class, was taken ill on the trip and was unable to enter either match. The bout between Captain Keeterer of Penn and Bullard of Cornell in the 135pound class, which was won by the Cornell man, was the, most interesting match in the Penn-Cornell meet. It went on for fifteen minutes before a decision was made in the Cornellian's favor. The summary: 115-pound—Rofe, Cornell, won by default. 125-pound—Ackerly, Cornell, won on decision over Rose, Penn, nine minutes. 135-pound—Bullard, Cornell, defeated Keeterer (capt.), Penn, on decision, 15 minutes, advantage of 27 seconds. 145-pound—Tuttle, Cornell, defeated Danty, Penn, on decision, advantage of 23 seconds. 158-pound—Kerfoot, Penn, won by default from Stafford. 175-pound — Huntington, Cornell, threw Wolf, Penn, bar lock and head chancery, four minutes, 40 seconds. Heavyweight—Schulte, Penn, threw Porter, Cornell, head chancery and arm lock, three minutes. The middies were clearly superior to the Cornellians in their match though Rofe in the 115-pound class and Bullard in the 145-pound class compelled their opponents to go fifteen minutes before winning decisions. The summary: 115-pound—Hay, Navy, defeated Rofe, Cornell, on decision, fifteen minutes. 125-pound—Wyatt, Navy, defeated Ackerly, Cornell, on decision, nine minutes. 135-pound—Anderson, Navy, defeated Bullard, Cornell, on decision, fifteen minutes. 145-pound—Pixton, Navy, defeated Tuttle, Cornell, on decision, nine minutes. 158-pound—Redmond, Navy, won by default. 175-pound—Hill, Navy, defeated Huntington, Cornell, on decision, nine minutes. Heavyweight—Meichle, Navy, threw Porter, Cornell, chancery and arm lock, one minute, 46 seconds. Basketball Cornell 28—Colgate 17 In the last non-league game of the season, played here Wednesday night, Cornell defeated Colgate by the score of 28 to 17, coming up from behind after having trailed the visitors for more than half of the game and giving another one of those exhibitions of "punch" which have characterized the play of the team at various times during this season. The maroon five had a lead of eleven points before Cornell started scoring, and even at the end of the first half was leading by the score of 13 to 8. In this half Colgate's team play bewildered the Cornell five, the Ithacans being unable to locate the basket. In the second period Stewart and Kendall led an offensive which swept the visitors off their feet. Within a short time after the half had opened Cornell was leading, and shots by Minasian, Karr, Kendall, and Tripp clinched the victory. Cornell's guarding in the second half was close, the opposing forwards failing to secure a single field basket. Edkins starred for Colgate while Kendall led the Cornell team in scoring. The summary: Cornell Stewart Stewart Tripp Karr Allen Kendall L. F L. F R. F C L. G R. G Colgate Edkins McBride Edkins Webster Smith Cottrell Field goals: Cornell—Stewart, Tripp 3, Karr, Minasian 2, Kendall 4; Colgate—Edkins 3, Webster 2, Smith; foul goals: Stewart 6 out of 14, Edkins 5 out of 7; substitutions: Miniasian for Allen, Henry for Minasian, Minasian for Karr, Cotterel for Cottrell; referee, W. C. Hickok, Ithaca; time of periods, 20 minutes. Cornell 22—Yale 21 The game with Yale, which Cornell won by the score of 22 to 21, was perhaps the most interesting and spectacular contest played in Ithaca this winter. The narrow margin of victory gives some idea of how keenly and how closely the two teams fought. The Cornell five appeared to have the game well in hand at the end of the first period, which terminated with the Ithacans leading by the score of 13 to 7; but the Blue, with proverbial Yale spirit, rallied at the opening of the second half and for a major part of that period clearly outplayed the Cornellians, who managed, however, to pull together in a final rally in the last five minutes and win out by 296 CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS a narrow margin.

Cornell 44—Dartmouth 5 Cornell closed the basketball season Monday night with an overwhelming victory over Dartmouth, winning by the score of 44 to 5. The contest was so onesided that it lacked interest, the Cornellians scoring almost at will. The Green scored only two goals from the field in the whole game. Cornell ran up a score of 26 to 2 in the first period, and after the first team had piled on more points in the second period Dr. Sharpe sent the second team to the floor and the game resolved into a sort of a wild scramble with Cornell's subs scoring six points to Dartmouth's two. Tripp carried off individual scoring honors as far as field goals were concerned, tallying 12 points. Stewart with four field goals and four foul goals equalled Tripp's score. Ainsworth was the only Dartmouth man to find the basket. Although members of the Cornell track team succeeded in placing in a number of events at the annual games of the Meadowbrook Athletic Club at Philadelphia last Friday and Saturday, they did not manage to secure a first place. The one-mile relay team was beaten by Pennsylvania in a fast race. Shackleton, whowas matched against Davis of Penn in the first relay, was three yards behind at the end of that lap. Cleminshaw, pitted against Gustafson, gave Walker Smith, the third Cornell man, a one-yard advantage, but the latter was no match for Irwin of Penn, who finished about twenty yards to the good. Mayer, Cornell's anchor man, could not make up any of this distance against Landers. Pennsylvania's time was 3:32 3/5. Ivan Dresser finished fourth in the Meadowbrook mile, which was won by " Joie" Ray of Chicago in 4:17 4/5, very fast time for the boards. In a special Cornell Stewart Tripp L. F R.
