Neither college received funds for new buildings, although an unexpended balance of $4001000from last year's bu~lding appropriation is still available for use by the College of Agriculture. XORTHWESTERUNNIVERSITYseems to be the best training ground for Cornell philosophy students. For the tenth year a student from there has received the graduate scholarship a t Cornell, the honor having been awarded this year to Alston Householder of Grand Bay, Alabama.

Northrop '25 of Westfield wrote the book, and Joseph P. Sondheimer '26 of Cleveland, the music. The play was followed by a dance. THE PRODUCERS of this year's charity show, "The Cat's Ankles," the Misses Norma and Ariel Bement and Albert E. Milliken '24, cleared $200 on the show and have sent the amount to the building fund of the Reconstruction Home. EARL C'ARROLI , prominent theatrical producer, stopped off in Ithaca a few minutes last week, on his flymg trip from Sew York to Buffalo, and apparently thought that the layout of Ithaca, as seen from the air, is an ideal set. He carried a letter from Mayor Hylan to Mayor Schwab of Buffalo congratulating the latter city on the establishment of a community flying field. CLARKN. BALDWINfo, r over thirty years a prominent citizen of Ithaca, died on April 12 at the Clifton Springs Sanitarium after a long illness. He was the father of Harry C. Baldwin '06, and conducted an undertaking business which was founded by his father here in 1865. AFTER A YEAR OF NEGOTIATIONS, the State of New York has become the owner of two pieces of land which will become a part of Taughannock Falls State Park. One lot is of seventy-four acres and the other of sixty-five. One hundred acres in addition, including Taughannock Point, is under contract, and plans are under way for the acquisition of the site of the old hotel which burned two years ago. AT LAST THE XIYSTEltY of hfrs. Ruloff's final resting place, which has been mentioned recently in these columns, seems to be settled. Definite proof has been given by a distant relative of Mrs. Ruloff, that Ruloff, just before he was hanged in Binghamton for another murder, confessed to his lawyer that he had weighted his wife's body with heavy irons and thrown it into Cayuga Lake, near the Taughannock ravine, where the water is deepest. His daughter he gave to a family in Pennsylvania, where she grew up. The lawyer kept the secret for a long time, and then confided it to a cousin of Mrs. Ruloff, but it wa.s never made public until now. JUSTBEFORE SPRING VACATION Richard Beck, Grad., was married to Miss Bertha Samson, of n7innipeg, Canada, a t the Lutheran Church of Ithaca. After a short honeymoon they will reside in Ithaca. Beck comes from Reykjavik, Iceland, and is president of the Cosmopolitan Club. He is this year a scholar in English. THE TOWNAND GOWKClub billiard championship has gone to Edward S.

ITHACTRAOLLY CAR Number 33 tried a new one last week while going around the loop, and caught fire. Firemen saved the car from total loss but not before the floor and electrical installation under it had been badly damaged. The accident was caused from a shark circuit; no one on t,he car was hurt. FRATERNITHYOUSES are suffering their spring pilfering. The sale of several suits of clothes in Elmira during the spring recess by Henry Quattrini of Linden Avenue, one of which bore the name of a person known to its buyer, led to investigation and the subsequent arrest of Quattrini. I t was found that the clothing taken to Elmira was the same as that reported missing from the Alpha Sigma Phi House. RUSSELLV.

ABOUTONE-FIFTH of the University's productive investment is in steam railways securities, according to figures published by the public relations bureau of the Eastern railroads. The exact figure given is 2 I . I per cent, or $4,199,032.Information from sixtyfive colleges, universities, and technical schools shows that nearly thirty per cent of the total income producing endowmmt is invested in steam railroads. Stanford has $13,907,000,or 49.8 per cent thus invested; Harvard, $13,681,39, or 31.8 per cent; Yale, $12,636,411, or 33.8 per cent; and Princeton, $7,437,040, or 51.3 per cent.

The baseball season was opened pleas- antly by a victory over Columbia in the first game of the Quadrangle Cup Series. Perfect weather brought out a large and colorful crowd which ate peanuts, filled the bleachers to overflowing, behaved itself reasonably well, and enjoyed itself thor- oughly. The fact that Cornell won and came from behind to do so helped. In its initial appearance the team showed all kinds of baseball, including good. There was some stupid play and some particularly smart play. There was brilliant fielding and sloppy fielding. But all of the young men took a good healthy swing at the ball and hit it hard. Where that happens who cares about anything else. Folks around here are hopeful. I don't know about the crews. Xobody else does. I prefer to do my prophesying a t the end of the season and not at the beginning. R. B. CLUB HONORS TAUSSIG The Cornell Club of Philadelphia at its annual meeting adopted the following resolutions on the death of John Hawley Taussig '97, who died last month. Taussig was for many years a most active member of the Club. "John Hawley Taussig '97 died March 2, 1925. "As an undergraduate he was active in every phase of University life. For two years he was wrestling champion, and for four years played end on the football team. He was a member of Delta Upsilon and of the honorary societies Aleph Samach and Sphinx Head. "Upon his graduation he entered the employ of the United Gas Improvement Company of Philadelphia, where he continued until his death. He was as successful in his chosen profession as he had been in his undergraduate days. He was an inventor of rare ability and his patents for the manufacture of gas are largely employed in the business. "He ever took the keenest interest in Cornell affairs. He attended every Cornell-Pennsylvania football game and participated in four of them. He was continuously a member of the Cornell Club of Philadf4phia from the time he came to Philadelphia. His support could be counted upon for every Cornell activity. The Cniversity had no more loyal alumnus. "The members of the Cornell Club of Philadelphia at their annual meeting desire here to record their appreciatio~o~f his life and their deep sorrow at his loss." --- THE DRAMATICLUBon April 24 will present "Sabotage" by Hellem, Valcros, and d'Este, "His Widow's Husband" by Jacinto Benevente, and "Feed the Brute" by George Paston. Noted Watermark Passes Steamer Horton Which Carriedcornellians for Thirty-Five Years Destroyed by Fire-Last. of Lake Vessels The steamer Horton, last of a number of passenger steamers which have plied Cayuga Lake within the memory of Cornellians, was destroyed by fire on the night of ilpril 15. Many a Cornell party has she carried down the Lake to Crowbar, to say nothing of the excursions to dances at Glenwood and her years of service as finish boat for the races here, packed to her gun\vales wlth supporters of the Cornell crews. Her charred hulk is a mute reminder that automobiles and locomotives are victors in the long race for supremacy in transportation. With the Glenwood road scheduled for repairs this season, cottagers along the west shore of the Lake whom the Horton has served for a number of years with supplies and transportation, are somewhat puzzled as to what should be done. The boat was put in drydock near her berth at the west side of the Inlet last fall, and work had just begun on conditioning her for the coming season. The fire was first discovered in her stern about 11.30 at night and firemen worked d l night trying to save the boat. The flames spread rapidly forward, fed by her pine decks and planking caulked with pitch, so that the entire deck and superstructure were swept away, leaving only the blackened hull The banks of the Inlet were thronged with people from Buffalo Street as far north as could be reached on foot and the burning craft cast spectacular reflections across the water. Shortly after firemen arrived the forward deck collapsed, sending flames and sparks skyward and Increasing the danger to the firemen who were fighting the blaze at close range. Many small boats dotted the Inlet near the scene of the fire. Fanned by a stiff south wind, the flames and sparks from the burning deck for a time threatened the Cornell boathouse which is located a short distance north on the Inlet. The Steamer Horton was built in 1890 by Charles Kellogg of Athens, Pennsylvania, and together with her sister ship, the Icellogg, plied Cayuga Lake as a passenger craft. At that time boating on Cayuga Lake was at its height and many steamers were in operation. On July 27, 1907, when the steamer Frontenac burned, the Horton held the lead with the Mohawk, I~oquois,Commanche, Kellogg, and City of Ithaca. The Mohawk, Iroquois, and Commanche were finally removed from the Lake, leaving the Iiellogg, IIorton, and City of Ithaca to fight the battle against the locomotive and automobile. The Kellogg burned at her pier in the Inlet a few years ago, the City of Ithaca burned later, and the Horton was left to brave the dangers of abandonment alone. For several years she has been kept on the Lake with diminishing profit to her CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS 355 owners. Some years ago when the boat was offered for sale by Captain Roy Schurger, William 0 . Kerr '77 purchased the vessel that she might continue to serve the cottagers, but last year announced that she was not making expenses and would have to be withdrawn. At that time a corporation was organized to purchase the Horton and keep her in seivice. The directors elected were Mr. Kerr, Professor Henry N. Ogden '89, Edwin Gillete '73, Harry B. Hollenbeck '01, Ralph S. Kent '02, and William J. Crawfo1.d. The boat was insured for $2,500. It is doubtful if she will be rebuilt. '00 STARTS WELL On the occasion of a visit to New York of the Class president, Charles C. West, men of 1900 met fbr an informal dinner a t the Cornell Club, on April 13. During the evening, the question was asked as to how many present expected to attend the twenty-five year reunion in Ithaca next June. Twenty-two were present. Twenty-two said they weregoing. President West appointed Gardiner S. Dresser to have general charge of the reunion with George Young, Jr., t o look after preliminary arrangements in Ithaca. Those attending t,he dinner were Earl A. Averill, Robert W. Beardslee, Arthur P. Bryant, Gardiner S. Dresser, Albert M. Garretson, Clyde D. Gray, Lee F. Hanmer, Ralph E. Hemstreet, Francis Y. Joannes, John V. McAdam, V. Daniel Moody, Walter Nuffort, Carlton 0. Pate, Raymond G. Potter, Ernest L. Quackenbush, Henry W. Redfield, Alexander B. Tappen, Richard A. Tissington, Joseph B. Weed, Charles C. West, C. William Wilson, Jr., Wilfred TJ. Wright. Enter Three Crews in Races The junior varsity eight will be entered in the Harvard regatta on the Charles on May g, and in the races with Yale and Princeton a t Derby, on the Housatonic River, on May 16. This expansion of the rowing program was sanctioned by the Committee on Student Affairs last week. I t will be the first time the junior eight has participated in these regattas, and the first time since the davs when the Junior crew rowed occasionally in the American Henley that this eight has left Ithaca for any regatta except that of the Intercollegiate Rowing Association a t Poughkeepsie. All three Cornell crews, varsity, junior varsity, and freshman, will row on the Charles and a t Derby. In the varsity race a t Cambridge Cornell will meet Harvard, Pennsylvania, and M. I. T. I t is probable that all three of these institutions will also enter junior and freshman crews. At Derby both Yale and Princeton will have crews in three races. The enlargement of the rowing program is designed to stimulate competition and increase interest among the oarsmen, and is a step toward the rehabilitation of rowing a t Cornell. Beat Columbia at Baseball The first game of the Quadrang1e.C~~ Series, played on Hoy Field last Saturday, was won by Cornell. The Red and White defeated Columbia by a score of 7 to 5 in a loosely played game, marked by free hitting. It was the first game of the home season, and the first victory over the Lions in several years. I n the pitchers' duel between Captain Von Brocklin of Columbia and Milligan of Cornell, the latter had the better of the argument, though he was hit safely nine times and was credited with one wild pitch. He had one bad inning, the sixth, when Columbia reached him for four hits. Otherwise he tightened up when in difficulty. Milligan also contributed to his own victory by some quick thinking in the second inning when he purposely dropped a bunt to open the way for a triple play, and he drove in two runs with long sacrifice flies. Cornell got twelve hits off Captain Von Brocklin, four of them two-baggers. Shaw, with two two-base hits and Wendt with three singles led a t the bat. The hitting was the bright feature from the Cornell point of view. The team showed traces of inexperience. There was careless work on bases, two men being caught off the bags. Columbia threatened in the first when Rothenfeld and Trentacosti hit, but Rothenfeld was caught a t the plate. I n Corndl's half two runs were scored. Merrill doubled to left field and scored on two battery errors after Dupree walked. Baker singled to center, scoring Dupree. Milligan showed fine baseball sense in the second inning by dropping Lorch's bunt fly and forcing Miller a t third, Zegri a t second and Lorch a t first for a triple play. Columbia got one run in the third on a fielder's choice, a scratch hit to short center by Rothenfeld and Stirling's passed ball, Van Brocklin tallying. THE HORTON IN ALL HER GLORY Photo by Trov Since the burning of the Frontenao in 1907,the Steamer Horton has served as the finish boat for every crew race held on Cayuga Lake, to say nothing of her valiant servlce for thirty-five years transport~ngCornellians to Crowbar, Glenwood, and various other points along the Lake. Her destruction by fire on April r 5 probably ends the era of steam passenger vessels on Cayuga Lake. 356 C O R N E L L A L U M N I N E W I n the fourth the Lions made a gallant bid, scoring four runs. Kennedy, first man up, walked. Zegri singled to left and Miller cracked one to right, sending Kennedy to third. He came in when Stirling let a fast one go through him. Lorch singled to center, scoring Zegri and Miller. Ray sacrificed, and after Van Brocklin fanned, Lorch scored on a wild pitch. Cornell made a run in their half on hits by Shaw and Davis and hfilligan's sacrifice fly. Both sides went out in quick order in the fifth, but in the sixth Cornell crashed through for three runs. Wendt singled through second and stole second. Stirling walked and Shaw doubled to the right field fence, scoring Wendt. Davis's single scored Stirling and Milligan again came through with a sacrifice fly bringing Shaw in. I n the seventh Cornell added one more when Dupree was hit, advanced on Wendt's single and scored on Stirling's hit.

N, S.eYc- Members of Alumni Magazines, Associated Printed by the Cornell Publications Printing Co Entered as Second Class Matter at Ithaca. N. Y. ITHACA, N. Y., APRIL 23, 1925 A DESIRABLE JUNKET PRESIDENTS of the alumni association, whether of the remodeled Alumni Corporation or of the earlier Associate Alumni, have been, on the whole,. conspicuous for their attention to their duties. The failure of the general association to take complete leadership in alumni affairs in the has not been from weakness on the part of its executives. During a succession of strong administrations, however, it is interesting to observe the experiment of Archie Burnett, present president, who last week was reported having made a tour of Cornell clubs from Philadelphia to St. Louis, visiting and addressing twelve clubs on the trip. In as much as Cornell clubs are the basic unit of the new Corporation it is quite logical that the president should know what manner of clubs it comprises. While Mr. Burnett made the trip on his own initiative and at his own expense, the success of the expedition leads one to hope that the Corporation may soon commit the president to such a trip by including it in the oath of office and the budget.

Jacoby, who is now in Washington,for the reminder that The Geographical Journal for July last included the report of the award of the Victoria Medal to the late Dean John F. Hayford '89, of Northwestern; and for the following excerpt from that publication: The Victoria Medal is given as an award for conspicuous merit in scientific research in geography, and it is not every year that it is awarded. On this occasion, however, your Council have not hesitated to assign it to John F. Hayford for his work on t,he subject of isostasy. The germs of this idea are to be found in the writings of a Cambridge mathematician, the Venerable Archdeacon Pratt of Calcutta, who was called in to assist the Survey of India to explain why the resultant attraction of the Himalaya Mountains upon the direction of the plumb-line in India is so much less than might have been expected. For half a century the idea of underlying compensation of the visible mountain masses had been taking shape, and although the word 'Lisostasy," does not occur in the statement of the award of the Victoria Medal to Sir Sidney Burrard in 1913, it is the fact that his scientific work in Indian geodesy was deeply concerned with this problem. I t was left, however, for Mr. Hayford of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey to put the theory for the first time upon a world-wide basis. He took up the subject at ,Washington as far back as 1898, and in 1906 presented his earlier results to the Budapest meeting of the International Geodetic Association. At the next meeting of the -4ssociation held in London three years later he presented a report which has since become a classic of geodesy. The whole question came under discussion at one of our afternoon meetings in January last. I t will be within your recollection that the outstanding features of that discu~sionwere a wide acceptance of the theory, and a general recognition that its establishment was due more to Mi. Hayford than to any other one man. Indeed one speaker of authority went so far as to declare that "the work of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey in putting the ,theory upon its present basis is one of 'the outstanding scientific achievements of our time."

There are nine maps, five being of England in different periods, and the others being of Scotland, Ireland, London, and Italy in relation to English authors. With each map there goes a list of authors of the ~ e r i o dor country concerned with the particular scene, and under each author are listed the chief places with which his life was connected, each place being located by letter-and-figure references to the map. At the end there are lists of places and writers. As the list of writers runs to over eleven hundred, it seems unlikely that any name of prominence has been omitted or overlooked. The maps come out very well, and large type is used throughout the letter-press. The book should have wide use. It will (lo much to give students a sense of the connection of the author with his geographical environment. If Taine was not altogether right in his thesis that literature is chiefly a product of environment, including climate, he nevertheless came nearer the truth, perhaps, than some of us are accustomed to think.

Whiskers never improved the appearance of any man who was not deformed or disfigured. When they were swished by f?the passing breezes their owth, in most instances, was permitted ecause shaving was difficult, owing to a lack of anything for making an effective lather. iNow there is no reason for lettin whisk- ers come out into the open or for eeping the fluctuating Adam's apple under cover. Rapid-Shave Cream softens the beard at the base, where the razor's work is done. I t makes shaving easy, and leaves the face soothed and velvety. There is no need of doing any smea work with the fingers when you shave wiX Colgate's. Press half an inch of the cream upon your wet brush, and work up the lather on your face. The softening effect of the lather upon the beard is almost instantaneous, and your shave is simplified. I7Dail shaving has become a business, as we1 as a social requirement. COLGATE & CO.
