Some of them are contributions in the fields of physiology, histology or embryology; a number we may style zoological or general biological, others anatomical." When he presented the scholarship fund to the University Dr. Moore said in part: " I t seemed fitting that the former students and friends of Professor Gage should give some tangible expression of their appreciation of his life and work. To that end it was agreed that the most appropriate token of respect, and a memorial that would embody the ideals that have so beautifully characterized his life, would be to establish in his honor a dual purpose fund, first to enable worthy students to continue their researches, and, secondly, toenhance the progress of the sciences he loves so much. It was believed that a fellowship in animal biology, which includes the field of science in which he has been a trieless worker, would best of great wealth.. Those who follow these subjects know that they must submit to a life of honorable poverty, so that, willing as the hearts have been to give, thestorehouses were notalways filled. However, the responses to the plan of endowing a fellowship were numerous, generous and always happy. The contributions to date amount to $2,667.94—a sum much smaller than that necessary to found the fellowship. However, the money was given for that purpose. Influenced by the patience and perseverance of him whom we would honor, it was decided to carry out the original plan and eventually secure theobject of our desires. It was determined that the money now in hand, and which may hereafter be added to, should be held in trust by theUniversity until it shall accumulate at compound interest a sum sufficient to yield an annual income of $500. When that time arrives this income shall be awarded annually as the Simon Henry Gage Fellowship in Animal Biology. It will be some years, measured bythe span of human life, before this fellowship will be awarded, but, measured by the life of the University, it will be but the passing of a day." appliquees a Γagriculture, et en particυlier pour Γentomologie, un enseignement quiapproche par son etendue et par son organization de celui que Γon donne dans ce centre universitaire.

The Sun criticised the fraternities in no uncertain terms for their retrenchment. The second term rushing, the undergraduate daily said, was a step in advance which was not fairly tried. The fraternities had shown a lack of courage and a lack of faith in one another by reverting to the old unsatisfactory system, the Sun asserted. For several days after the editorial was published the paper printed correspondence from undergraduates and alumni, condemning or praising theopinion expressed.

The second is to be taken on Spring Day and will include views of the YalePrinceton-Cornell boat race and perhaps other athletic contests of that day. Arrangements have been made for filming important Campus events in the future. Notonly the play, but also the work of the University is to be recorded onthe films. All the films will be edited by the Secretary, and his aim will be to make them both concise and comprehensive. For schools and for places where no motion picture projector is to be had, the University will continue to arrange new lantern answered by the wisest arrangement of a course of studies, but to which a friendly interview may bring a solution. We are working toattain this assistance for thewomen, for we believe that a conclusion reached by the experience and observation of so large a body of women of varied interests and ages ought to be considered of value where other women are concerned. We cannot urge it with equal force in the case of the men. To those who believe that such guidance is unnecessary for young men, we would reply that equal opportunity for development andeducation do not The inclusion of wives and families in this reunion has brought a pretty general response.

OPENING OF WHITE PARK To Alumni intending sometime to locate in Ithaca; and to others seeking home sites near the Cornell Campus: In October last, the following advance notice appeared in the ALUMNI NEWS: "For many years I have held in reserve the finest section ofmy lands, the elevated level plateau north of the Country Club grounds, overlooking thecampus, the southwest valley and the lake, hoping that it might become thesite of a Cayuga Heights Inn, which should bethe home either temporary or permanent of many cultured families. "I have reluctantly abandoned that idea, and decided toopen the section next June for sale in lots. With that endin view, I amnow having theroad and park scheme prepared byMr. Warren H. Manning of Boston, andhope to getthestreets in this fall, sothat the sidewalk and planting may bedone next spring. "The choicest portion of this section has been divided into ten plots. There are isolated lots in Ithaca equally fine; but as a community of residence sites, uniformly good, I think I am within bounds when I saythere is nothing to equal it in Ithaca; andI cannot recall that I have ever seen anything anywhere that seems to me quite as attractive as a place forhomes. "I donotdesire to sell any of the lots until next June. In the meantime correspondence is solicited from those who may be interested. A descriptive circular with map will be prepared for distribution in the near future." Sixteen plots, fronting on White Park road and on East White Park, including the ten choice plots above referred to, will beready foroccupancy in June. The road plan and general lot scheme have been laid out by Mr. Warren H. Manning of Boston, andtheplanting scheme by Mr. H. A. Caparn of New York. Nothing hasbeen spared in the effort to make this the finest residential section in Ithaca. The streets above mentioned have been graded. Gas and water pipes are being laid. Sidewalks and cement gutters arebeing constructed; and theslopes are being planted, and the parkings seeded, as rapidly as the construction permits. The streets areto be gravelled and oiled, and ornamental street trees planted before the endof the year; and it is hoped that something may be done in laying outpaths through and around the beautiful wooded knolls adjoining the Country Club grounds. The descriptive circulars aredelayed because of the burning of Morse Hall which destroyed Mr. Troy's negatives, necessitating the taking of newphotographs. They will be ready soon. Copies will then be forwarded to all inquirers. In the meantime, it might be well to take advantage of SpringDay (May 27th) to visit thePark. Kindly let meknow in advance when and where to meet you.
