EXPEESSIONS of gratitude by former students for benefits received from the University are especially appropriate in connection with the Endowment Fund Campaign. Such an expression is the contribution, altogether unsolicited, which comes from a student who has known Cornell only by attendance at Summer Sessions. From the donor's letter, addressed to Professor George P. Bristol, we are permitted to quote these significant parts: (' For three summer's I have had the very great pleasure of studying at Cornell. After the first I wrote to you, as Director, a note of appreciation of all it had meant to me. Now may I send not words but a contribution to the endowment fund, of which I have read in The New York Times? I take it for granted that a small amount will not be despised. If it were not for many other demands at this time, I should find great pleasure in sending a larger sum. At some other time I can do so. The enclosed check does not measure my sense of indebted- late registration will bring the total number of winter course students up to 350, or more. PRESIDENT SCHURMAN recently received a communication from Maurice de Wulf, secretary to Cardinal Mercier, written at St. Michael's College on November f ourth^ in which His Eminence expressed his regret at being obliged to sail from Quebec on November seventh without having visited Cornell. He also expressed gratitude for the interest shown by President Schurman in the restoration of the University of Louvain, and for his gift of books to that institution. The Cardinal was obliged to curtail his trip, and to give up several engagements in order to sail at this early date. AT THE FIRST MEETING of the Cornell Foresters, a club composed of students from the Department of Forestry, the following officers were elected for the first term of 1919-1920: president, R. M. Volkert; vice-president, G. B. Gordon; reparation in Belgium while he was economic and financial adviser to the American Commission at the Peace Conference. His investigations as adviser, although carried on as part only of th& American Commission's work, had to do with reparation and damages in all of the invaded countries. Of the value of these services the government of Belgium thus makes grateful acknowledgment. THE WRESTLING TEAM is entered in six matches with, other universities. At Ithaca the Cornell team will meet Pennsylvania, Columbia, and Princeton; away from Ithaca, Pennsylvania State College, Lehigh, and the Navy. The dates have not been set. There is still an open date for one additional contest in Ithaca. These dual meets are exclusive of the intercollegiate matches to be held on March 22.

IN THE SHORT COURSES in the College of Agriculture about three hundred and thirty students have registered, the largest registration in recent years, although smaller than pre-war registration, which in 1913-1914 reached 545. Instruction in the winter course will continue from November 5 until February 13, the end of Farmers7 Week. More of the women, PROFESSOR AND MRS. WALTER L. WILLIAMS have announced the marriage of their daughter Mary to Edward Dixon McDonald, which took place at the First Presbyterian Church of Ithaca on November 5. Mr. and Mrs. McDonald will be at home after January 1 at 755 Carlyle Street, Youngstown, Ohio. PROFESSOR ALLΎN A. YOUNG, of the Department of Political Science, has been honored by the Belgian government organized campaign, for which plans are being made by undergraduates. Of the desirability of a new pool there can be no question; and the use of it, if and when it comes, will not, we prophesy, be limited to students. The present pool, even if it were otherwise usable, could not serve for a complete swimming team Because there are no facilities for diving.

The tλventy-seventh annual report of President Schurman to the Board of Trustees, which was presented to the Board of Trustees on Saturday;, is mainly devoted to the discussion 0f the fundamental questions of University reconstruction on the financial side. The first of these, naturally, is the matter of Better salaries for the teaching staff. Dr. Schurman quotes from earlier utterances of his own, beginning witk 1905, in which he has pleaded for better salaries. The situation has now became acute. Living costs from July, 1914, to July, 1919, advanced seventy pe-r cent. "Now while the wages of the industrial workers have been advanced to cover this increase the salaries of professors have been practically eta•tL ionary. Furthermore, the new age 011 which the world is entering is making heavier demands on teachers than ever before; and Europe, which has lost in this long and cruel war most of the intellectual leaders of the rising generatien, faces the danger of retrogression for lack of knowledge. The appeal is to America to enlighten the world-as in ϊhe political sphere with the rays of liberty so in the intellectual with tin; torch of learning and science. And at this moment when the inexorable logic of the situation summons the united States of America to undertake the intellectual leadership of the world our universities, through whose agency alone this high task can be accomplished, are paying their professors salaries smaller than the wages received by carpenters, mechanics, and trainmen and their in- structors less than unskilled laborers and ditch-diggers!'' Five Millions for Salaries The very life of American higher education is thus menaced. For while the members of the present faculties may stick to their jobs>, ίc where are their successors to come from? What able and ambitious youth will enter a secular profession which offers to him only the prospect either of enforced celibacy for himself or destitution for the wife and children he naturally expects to have? The teaching profession will be deserted by the capable, forceful, and aspiring youth of the Nation and become the monopoly of dull and unambitious mediocrity." To meet these needs and to provide salaries which shall attract able youth into the ranks of the teaching profession, Cornell needs at least $5,000,000 additional endowment. Another Five for Development And if the University is to provide for future growth and for satisfactory development, an additional $5,000,000 is needed. So says Dr. Schurman but when we come to read tff the specific needs of the University we find that they total up to a far greater sum. He believes that from $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 should be provided for the endowment of a College of Chemistry; $5,000,000 '' to insure the future of engineering education at Cornell University so far a. the Faculty is concerned"; $1,000,Λ0Λ0Λ0 "( t(o4.^ p,™er«wm»ίi*t t4-h1,eΛ f-Puullll dΛΩeτvτ£e»llΛo-pn mmneτnιft ofr\i! our possible scientific activity"—that is, research in pure science; $1,000,000 for salaries in the College of Law; $150,000 for a fire-proof Law Library building; $100,000 to endow the Law Library $15,000 to $20,000 to endow The Cornell Law Quarterly; an unspecified sum for * Fine Arts building and for additional professorships of music and the other fine arts; $100,000 to endow a UniYer*it7 P™s; between $600,000 and $1,000,000 for a^leg^of^ Business Adi ίt~r~atί ion; d$"1,™50A0,000 < hold 475,000 volumes. The Library already contains 605,526 volumes and valuable collections recently donated have not yet come in. More Building Needed Among other buildings which are needed are a new central heating plant, which will cost about $500,000; a mechanical laboratory and a hydraulic laboratory for the College of Engineering, each of which would cost about $300,000; a building as a social center for the University, a Cornell Union, costing about $500,000; a new gymnasium, costing about $500,000; a new gymnasium and playground north of Fall Creek Goα-ge for women students,, costing not less than $250,000; and an administration building for the University, costing from $250,000 to $350,000. There is great need of a fund to be used for the beautifying of the campus,, gorges, ornamental grounds, and for the repair and reconstruction of roads and paths. An immediate outlay for these purposes of $150,000 or $200,000 would provide muck needed practical improvements and effect' an aesthetic transformation. Productive Funds Should Be Trebled The productive funds o,f th.e University now amount to $9,978;,370.14, which 'in 1918-19 yielded an income of 5.14 per cent. The residential halls, representing $1,096,789.26, yielded 2.34 per cent. This, apart from student fees, is .all the University has to live on. ''This endowment should be doubled at once. Indeed with the figures ®,f Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Chicago before me I feel it would be within the bounds of moderation to say that Cornell should have its endowment trebled." Will Make Cornell Truly Great In conclusion the President has this to say of the University: ''The institution celebrated its fiftieth Commencement in June last. Its record of achievement is a part, and a very honorable part, of the history of higher education in America. That record is known, at least in a general way, to the public. And to the public, especially to men and women who have wealth to devote to, educational objects, and to its own alumni and old students, the University, entering on a second half century, now appeals for additional endowments. It needs these figures to enable it to meet the educational demands of the new era, to give better instruction to students, to devote more energy to original research, and to make the compensation of professors (on whom in the end everything depends) adequate to attract and retain men of first-class ability, high training, and intellectual energy and ambition in the teaching profession. Our object is to make Cornell more than ever a vital and radiating center of intellectual life, scholarly research, and scientific activity, ranking among the few truly great universities in . the world. > > CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS 87 Students Back Endowment Unusual Interest by Undergraduates— Musical Club to Give Profits The one outstanding feature of the Cornell Endowment Campaign Fund which seems to differentiate it from those of other eolleges has been the keen and sympathetic interest which the undergraduates are taking in the matter of better pay for their professors. As one of them has pointed out, it is not too early for the undergraduates who form the alumni body of to-morrow to take their part to-day in the campaign for the betterment of Cornell. Two examples of this undergraduate interest which have attracted much attention in the press recently are: -first, the signs which have formed such an effective part of the publicity feature of the campaign and second, the announced determination of the Musical Clubs to give the net proceeds of their holiday trips to the* Endowment Fund. It was an undergraduate mind that conceived the idea of popularizing the word '' endowment'' in the slogan, "$125,000 will feed a prof, and his family for a million years.'' The first suggestion that the Musical Clubs' proceeds might go to the Endowment Fund came by E. E. Sheridan Ίl, of Chicago, formerly manager of the Musical Clubs, who felt that the money might well go to the fund rather than to the Chicago Women's Junior League charities. On the basis of this suggestion, J. L. Kelly '20, present manager of the clubs, brought the idea back with him^ and it was heartily endorsed by all the club members, and particularly by the alumni in the various cities in which the clubs are to give concerts, meeting with a particularly enthusiastic response in the Ohio cities of Akron, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. Those who are backing the Endowment Campaign in all the cities visited by the clubs feel that an especial appeal will be made by the idea of the students using their Christmas holidays for the sake of a higher pay for their professors. This year the clubs visit Buffalo, Akron, Cleveland, St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and New York. While those who are in charge of the Endowment Fund Campaign are not giving out definite figures, it is known that three-fourths of the time of the Trustees' meeting of Saturday, November 8, was devoted to the affairs of the Endow- ment Fund, and that the committee of the Trustees which has the matter in hand reported thoroughly satisfactory progress. PROFESSOR OF ANCIENT HISTORY Dr. William Linn Wester maim, professor of history in the University of Wisconsin, was last Saturday elected by the Trustees to be professor of ancient history in Cornell University, beginning July 1, 1920. The appointment fills a vacancy which has existed since the death of Professor Henry A. Sill in August, 1917. Dr. Westermann was born at Belleville, 111., on September 15, 1873, the son of Louis Westermann, a native of Germany, and Emma (Tyndale) Westermann. He attended the public schools of Decatur, 111., and in 1890 entered the University of Nebraska, where he took his A. B. in 1894 and his M. A. in 1896. After teaching Latin for three years in the Decatur High School lie went abroad for study. He attended the Universities of Berlin and Heidelberg from 1899 till 1902, when he took his Ph. D. degree at Berlin. He was next two years instructor and two years assistant professor of Latin and Greek in the University of Missouri, whence he went in 1906 to the University of Minnesota as assistant professor of ancient history, and in 1911 to the University of Wisconsin as full professor. In 1912 he married Miss Bernice Davies of Dixon, 111. He has published, besides his doctor 's thesis, (ί The Story of the Ancient Nations,'' a text book in Appleton 's Twentieth Century Series, and he is a joint author of "Hellenic Civilization," published by the Columbia University Press. He is a contributor to philological and historical journals. Dr. Westermann is a .member of Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Delta Theta. CORNELLIANS IN OFFICE The ALUMNI NEWS is indebted to Dean E. II.

FRATERNITY RUSHING RESULTS The fraternities late last week announced the names of men pledged as a result of the fall rushing. Fifty-one fraternities thus take in 476 new members, said to be the largest number in the history of the University. Though a few sophomores and upperclassmeii are named, with here and there a graduate or special student, most of the men pledged are freshmen; approximately a quarter of the entering class are thus asked to join fraternities; and it is expected that others will be asked before the year is over. With the single exception of Kappa Alpha, all the fraternities mentioned were members of the Interfraternity Association. Kappa Alpha refused to join the association last spring because no attempt was made to permit the several fraternities to meet freshmen who were not recommended, contending that unless a freshman had been recommended it was impossible for him to be considered by a fraternity except through an infraction of the rules. Kappa Alpha maintained the rules and the schedule •of the association throughout. No serious infractions of the rules have as yet come to light. The distribution of new members among the societies, averaging between nine and ten to a house, is given below: Alpha Chi Eho, 9; Alpha Delta Phi, 11; Alpha Gamma Eho, 16; Alpha Sigma Phi, 6; Alpha Tau Omega, 12; Alpha Zeta, 12; Beta Samach, 8; Beta Theta Pi, 11; Chi Phi, 9; Chi Psi, 10; Delta Chi, 6; Delta Kappa Epsilon, 13; Delta Phi, 10; Delta Tau Delta, 7; Delta Upsilon, 16; Eleusis, 10; Kappa Alpha, 8 Kappa Delta Kho, 6 Kappa Phi, 5 Kappa Psi, 9 Kappa Sigma, 8 Lambda Chi Alpha, 7 Omega Tau Sigma, 11 Omicron Alpha Tau, 9; Phi Delta Sigma, 7; Phi Delta Theta, 11; Phi Epsilon Pi, 6; Phi Gamma Delta, 10; Phi Kappa Psi, 10; Phi Kappa Sigma, 7; Phi Sigma Kappa, 16 Pi Kappa Alpha, 9 Pi Lambda Phi, 6; Psi Upsilon, 8; Scorpion, 9; Seal and Serpent, 9; Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 13; Sigma Chi, 14; Sigma Nu, 12; Sigma Phi, 5; Sigma Phi Epsilon, 7 Sigma Phi Sigma, 11 Sigma Pi, 7; Sigma Upsilon, 2; Theta Alpha, 9; Theta Chi, 8; Theta Delta Chi, 15; Theta Xi, 11; Zeta Beta Tau, 7; Zeta Psi, 9; Zodiac, 9. REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN The annual report of Willard Austen as University librarian appears as a University publication under date of November 1. A statistical summary shows the present extent of the Library, books, pamphlets, manuscripts, maps, etc., to be 605,526 volumes, this total including special collections in the various colleges, department libraries, and books deposited in seminary rooms. The volumes not actually in the Library Building number about 90,000, of which more than half constitute the Law Library in Boardman Hall. There were added during the year ended on June 30 five manuscripts, 132 maps, and 11,546 books and pamphlets. Restrictions imposed by the war served, as in three or four years preceding, to retard the securing of foreign publications, particularly German periodicals. Moreover, a number of books stored in Leipzig after shipping was stopped were destroyed by fire in the warehouse, a loss the extent of which it is difficult as yet to determine. Two remarkable gifts to the Library during the year have already been described in these columns, the Wason Chinese Collection of about 5,000 volumes and the Scalfe Civil War Collection of 844 volumes and many valuable pamphlets. The Library has a collection of 700 war posters. Among the noteworthy single volumes or sets purchased the report mentions, with others, Mace's ίf Music's Monument," 1676; Guerinet's "L'Architecture Franςaise," 12 vols. Milton's "Poems," edition of 1673; Spenser 's ί(Faerie Queene,'' edition of 1611 the Publications of the Parish Register Society, 65 vols.; of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, 30 vols.; of the Cymmrodorion Society, 1877-1918; the Journal of the Royal Numismatic Society, 18361916; The Chicago Daily Trade Bulletin, 1867-1917; The European Magazine, 87 vols.; the Boletin of the Real Sociedad Geographica de Madrid,. 57 vols.; and The Naval Chronicle, 40 vols. In. the periodical room there have been on file 740 current publications. The report ends with a list of the persons and the societies that have made gifts to the Library during the year. O TEMPORA! O MORES! At Zink's place in the olden days the amber fluid flowed, And gleaming foam topped brimming steins and clung to lips that glowed With youth and overflowed with song and jest and repartee, While laughter ebbed and swelled, and Zink kept rein on revelry. But now grave ones come slowly forth where Zinkie once held sway, And from their sober, smileless lips they sadly brush away The cheerless foam of buttermilk and slowly walk along With measured tread and never a skip or whoop or merry song. Does Zink now in Elysiaii fields serve drinks to thirsty shades? Does Bacchus lead pale devotees in eager cavalcades To sit at Zinkie's board and tell of Ithaca or Rome? Do spirits' spirits rise like ours from amber floods and foam? If so I hope no shade just come from Charon's boat will tell To Zinkie's shade how buttermilk's the booze at dry Cornell. ALBERT W.

Printed by The Ithacan Entered as Second Class Matter at Ithaca, NVY. Ithaca, N. Y., November 13, 1919 MAKING AND SPENDING Last week in this column we referred to the increase in earning power which education brings, adding these words: "But" if this were the only thing to be said in favor of education, the state might perhaps be justified in having little concern in the matter "—since self-interest would conceivably induce people to take care of themselves as regards education. A little reflection, however, will convince any one that in this matter the great mass of the people are short-sighted. We hold, therefore, that to make and enforce a compulsory education law becomes the duty of every community. Professor G. F. Arps, of Ohio State University, writing on the subject of industrial efficiency in School and Society for November 1, has this to say: "If twenty-five cents represents the difference in the daily wage of a skilled and [an] unskilled workman, then it is a plain matter of arithmetic that an adequate investment in industrial education would yield an annual monetary return of $1,000,000,000 in wages alone. Enormous as these figures are, staggering when computed for a series of years at compound interest, they do not begin to measure the wastage in national charajter. At present we cannot measure the difference in character of the skilled and the unskilled worker—differences in personal integrity, self-respect, community-worth, independence of action, moral and physical stamina and other not only desirable but necessary virtues if democracy and republican forms of government are to compete successfully with, and ultimately to lay low the aristocratic monarchial socialism with which democracy has been at grips." Here we have the idea well expressed —of the enormous increase which comes to the wealth of the state as a result of education, both in the measurable sum it adds to the coffers of the people and in the immeasurable gains it brings in improvementsin character and habits. But some one will say, "What is the use? This extra money will bring no lasting good to the community; it will be spent for useless luxuries, which will only leave the people more discontented than before.}> To this the reply may be made that it is not always easy to draw the line between beneficial and harmful luxuries, or between luxuries and comforts; and it is therefore manifestly unfair to assume that the money will be unwisely spent. But grant that it might be; still, so much more wealth would be added to the circulation and to the taxable assets of the community; whence we might have vastly better schools and colleges, public buildings, churches, roads, railways, ships. As an important incidental, moreover, there would be improvement in taste and intelligence which would to some extent help to regulate the personal expenditures of the workers. There is no better. investment, as we ,have said, than education; and the Government should help all citizens to become convinced of this fact. FRATERNITY RUSHING RULES Elsewhere in this issue we chronicle the results of " the recent fraternity pledging. Without desiring here to enter upon a discussion of the worth of the rules, we feel that alumni will be interested to know that the present system occupied the focus of attention among the members f every fraternity for practically one-seventh of this college year. As an after-dinner speaker at an initiation banquet, orie might be pardoned for saying to the entering class that it was worth the effort. Im any other capacity, however, one islikely to feel that it is time wasted. The present system grew out of the attempt to avoid the meeting of trains, the alleged locking'up of freshmen, and other undesirable features for information about which the present-day rulemakers probably refer to the files of The Widow and to the humorous anecdotes of returning alumni rather than to any record of fact. Whatever of these faults could be honestly laid at the door of the old-style or "catch-ascatch-can" rushing, it cannot be said justly that it wasted the student's time to the same extent as the present day or "mail orderjr system, The present style of rushing makes; it virtually impossible for a fraternity to discover what a freshman has in Ms head. The legal maximum of four interviews, during each of which an elaborate dinner must be consumed, al-' lows not over three hours in all for a: freshman to become acquainted with those members of a fraternity who did not dine at the same table. It is equally impossible for a freshman to meet,, legally, a fraternity to which he has not been recommended. These faults are fundamental, and we believe that on this system no set of rules can be devised which obviates them,, which will not at the same time be flagrantly wasteful of time. The forty days could be better applied to academic work. OBITUARY George W. Farnham '72 George Wombaugh Farnham died at his home in Buffalo, N. Y., on November 5, at the age of sixty-nine. Death was due to heart trouble. Mr. Farnham was born in Addison, N. Y., in 1850. He entered Cornell in 1868, remaining two years then he returned to Addison, where he conducted a shoe factory until about twenty-five years ago, when he went to Buffalo. There he organized the George W. Farnham Company at Seneca and Wells Streets; this company is now doing business at 92 Pearl Street. He was an active member of the Chamber of Commerce, and had done CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS much volunteer work for the Y. M. C. A. He was a Mason, and a member of various clubs of Buffalo. He is survived by his widow, Minnie Nye Farnham, a son, Frederick 8. Farnham, and a brother, William H. Farnham. Two of his sons have died within the past three years, George and Nye H. '98. Winthrop C. Fanning '16 Last spring (April 24, page 341) we printed a notice of the death of Lieutenant Winthrop Coit Fanning '16, who died on March 10 at Cha'tillon-sur-Seine of pneumonia following influenza. Wo have recently been advised that some of the information furnished in connection with his military record was incorrect. Fanning entered the First Officers' Training Camp at Fort Niagara in May, 1917; early in his training he applied for a transfer to the Air Service, but even after recognition had been given to his request, and he had successfully passed the examinations, he was held at Niagara, a member of Company 1, detailed to trench*construction work. During the last week of the training period, he was informed that he might have his choice of a recommendation for first lieutenant, or a transfer to the Ground School at Cornell. Still eager to enter the Air Service, he chose the latter, thereby forfeiting his right to a commission. After finishing his ground school training at Cornell, he was sent to various fields for flying training, receiving his commission in March, 1918, and in May was assigned to Selfridge Field, Mich., as an instructor, serving as such until he was ordered overseas in September. After supplementary training in France he was attached to the 168th Aero Squadron. ELECTION brought or returned several Cornellians to local offices. Daniel Crowley '08 was elected for a third term as city judge over Fred L. Clock '83, by a plurality of 619. In the new board of aldermen will sit former Mayor Thomas Tree, manager of the residential halls, Fordyee A. Cobb '93, and Edwin S. Gillette '14; and in the board of supervisors, E. Morgan St. John '11 and James E. Robinson ΊO. Ithaca's next mayor, placed in nomination by both Republicans and Democrats, is Edwin C. Stewart, a former State Senator. THE SAGE CHAPEL PREACHER for Sunday, November 16, is the Eev. John Baillie, A. Mv of Auburn, N. Y. ATHLETICS Football Team Defeats Carnegie Showing flashes of offensive power, and improved, though still ragged, defensive play, the Cornell football team defeated Carnegie Technical Institute of Pittsburgh Saturday afternoon -by the score of 20 to 0. A touchdown was scored in each of the first and third periods, and a field goal dn each the second and fourth. Every one of Cornell's points was made by Captain Shiverίck, whose play recalled some of his high spots of the 1915 season. He made one run of forty-five yards for a touchdown; he ran back a punt fifty yards; he kicked one field goal from the 40-yard-line and another from t-he 30. Although Shiverίck was the outstanding figure of the game, the team as a whole showed gratifying improvement. Early in the first period it carried the ball from midfield down the field for a touchdown, Shiverick making the score on fourth down with about a yard to go. This was the best piece of work of the afternoon, but on other occasions the backs made substantial advances. There was more drive and snap to the execution of the off-tackle plays which were the most reliable of the formations attempted. The interference was better, but far from perfect. Some headway had been made in coordination between line and backfield and not infrequently the backs found good holes awaiting them! Several successful forward passes were executed, one Davies to Colvin, for a 25-yard gain, and the secondary defense was alert and intelligent in defending against Carnegie's aerial attack, knocking down half a dozen or more passes. The visitors succeeded only once in making a good gain with a pass. Defensive play was better than against Lafayette, though the Carnegie backs occasionally broke through the line for fair gains, most of the runs being launched from shift formations. An outstanding feature of the Cornell line play was the work of Knauss, who until last week had been playing guard on the second team. Playing at left tackle, he was usually the first man down under punts, nailing a Carnegie back half a dozen times on Shiverick's kicks. He followed the ball closely also, and his vigilance was rewarded in the second period when he recovered Levy's fumble on Carnegie's 35-yard lime, opening the way for Shiverάck to kick a field goal a little later. Hoff, a heavy end, who has been "coming" lately, relieved Colvin for a time and made a good impression, and Finn, who has been out of the game for six weeks with an injury, was sent in at right wing for a little while. The backfield was a combination of regulars and subs. Davies, who has been troubled much by injuries this year,, played practically the whole game at fullback and made a good job of itLivingston and MacKenzie, substitute halfbacks, also contributed much to the backfield's success. On the whole the team showed encouraging progress though it would be unwise to place too much emphasis on the victory because the Tech team was hardly up to some of those that have come up here from Pittsburgh in the past. After the drive for a touchdown in in the first period there was no scoring until the middle of the second period, when Shiverick kicked a field goal from fhe 40-yard line. The third score, a touchdown by Shiverick, was the most brilliant play of the game. Putting the ball in play on Carnegie's 45-yard line, Shiverick on the first play got through between guard and tackle on the left side and ran like a deer for the goal line. Good blocking by Taylor removed the only defensive back who had a chance to catch the Cornell leader. The final score was in the last period. Shiverick had run one of Moon's punts back fifty yards to Tech's 15-yard line, but after rushing to the one-yard line, Cornell was held for downs. Soon after the punt out Shiverick kicked a field goal from the 30-yard line, the ball clearing the crossbar by inches. Perfect Score in Cross Country The varsity cross country team scored an easy victory over Carnegie Tech Saturday afternoon by the score of 28 to 77, every one of the seven men to qualify for Cornell crossing the finish line before Gare, the first Pittsburgh runner, came in. Cornell thus made a perfect score. The race was run over a five-and-a quarter-mile course finishing in the stadium. Captain T. C. McDermott won first honors in fine style, his time being 29 minutes, or 17 seconds faster than the time made by Dresser over the 'same course in 1917. Campbell, in second 92 C O R N E L L A L U M N I N E W S place, finished 17 seconds back of McDermott. Lentz, the last Cornellian to qualify, finished in 30:59, or approximately two minutes behind MeDermott. The Cornell runners finished as in this Border: MeDermott, Campbell, Dickinson^ Wenz, Stanton, King, and Lentz. The Cornell team showed marked improvement, compared to its work in the Harvard meet, and is now rapidly rounding into -form for the intercollegiates ^vhich will be held in New York City ^November 22. Athletic Notes The Cornell soccer team played a tie -game with Harvard on Alumni Field last Friday, the score standing 2 to 2. An extra period was played in an effort to break the tie, but without result. Cornell forced the, play well into Harvard territory for the greater part of the game. Elli scored two goals for Cornell while a penalty and an accidental kick into the Cornell net by Bosseau, a Cor•nellian, gave the Crimson two points. The freshman eleven lost to Yale at New Haven last Saturday by the score of 10 to 0. Although the Cornell .youngsters forced the fighting into Yale territory most of the game they were unable to score. The Blue's cubs scored a touchdown in the first period, after Cornell had rushed down the field to the Yale 25-yard line. Kelly intercepted a forward pass Carey was throwing to Lynch and ran 90 yards for a touchdown. In the second period Kelly kicked a field goal from the 25-yard line. THE EEV. HENRY J. CONDIT was installed last Wednesday as minister of the -First Congregational Church. The principal address, not the conventional installation sermon, but an informal talk -on faith and service, was given by the Bev. Charles W. Carroll, pastor-at-largθ for the State of New Jersey. Mr. Condit now fills the-pulpit long occupied by the Eev. Edward A. George, who resigned more than a year ago. FOUR OF THE HORSES shipped here for the Field Artillery died soon after reaching Ithaca. Veterinarians saved three others that were sick on arrival! The sickness is attributed to improper feeding during transportation from <3amp, the same trouble that has caused the death of Army horses elsewhere. The four that died were valued at about two hundred dollars each. 660TH ORGAN RECITAL Bailey Hall, November 14 Professor JAMES T. QUARLES, Organist.

THE NEXT UNIVERSITY CONVOCATION is set for Monday, November 24. John W. O'Leary, M. E. '99, will speak on the problems of industrial reorganization. Mr. O'Leary is head of the John W. O'Leary & Son Company of Chicago, manufacturers of iron and steel, is first vice-president of the Chicago Trust Company, and in 1916 was president of the Chicago Association of Commerce. Last month he attended the industrial conference held in Washington at the summons of President Wilson. Advance notice is also given of a visit to Cornell from Count Ilya Tolstoy, son and literary heir of Leo Tolstoy, who, on the invitation of President Schurman, will speak on Friday, December 5, on ''The Truth About Eussia." INTERCOLLEGIATE NOTES STANFORD is from now on to charge a tuition fee of $120 a year. Faculty salaries have been advanced to the following scale: instruction, $1,800-$2,400; assistant professors, $2,500-$3,000; associate professors, $3,250-$4,000; professors, $4,500-$7,000. BROWN is to raise $3,000,000 for increases of salaries and for maintenance. Tuition will be raised from $175 to $200. PENNSYLVANIA now has over 2,100 students in her extension schools. These include the Evening School of Accounts and Finance at the university and the four up-State extension schools at Harrisburg, Beading, Scranton, and Wilkes-Barre. The Evening School has about 1,500 students. NINE WISCONSIN COLLEGES, representing both the Catholic Church and sev- eral Protestant denominations,, have formed an organization called the Wisconsin Colleges Associated^ and organized a campaign to raise $5,000,000 at once and eventually something over $20,000,000 for endowment 'and rehabilitation. The .money received will be divided among them in proportion to their student hours. The nine colleges have graduated over ten thousand students and in the war furnished over nine thousand men and women for service. The movement has the hearty approval of President Birge, of the University of Wisconsin, and of leading educators everywhere. The campaign has been put in charge of Lyman L. Pierce, Minnesota '92, of Milwaukee. PENNSYLVANIA plans to erect soon an instructional building for its women students, who. number about one thousand. The building will be located' at the southeast corner of Thirty-fourth and Walnut Streets. A course in physical education is also to be opened for the women. The physical examination of the women will be in charge of Dr. Edith Hedges Matzke, formerly adviser of women here. DR. FRANK STRONG, chancellor of the University of Kansas for the past eighteen years, has resigned and has been elected professor of constitutional law in the Law School of that institution. WISCONSIN will erect a Memorial Union Building as a tribute to its members who served in the war. A campaign .has begun to raise $750,000 for this purpose. PRINCETON is planning an elaborate reorganization of her Engineering School, for which three millions is asked for in the Endowment Fund Campaign. It has long been felt that the engineering department was organized on too small a scale, both in strength of faculty and in equipment, to do effective work. THE FIRST COLLEGE PUBLICATION to fββl the effects of the printers' strike, so far as we have observed, is The Columbia Alumni Neiυs, whose issue for October* 10, much delayed, consisted of eight pages, mostly advertisements, with the announcement that a full record of events would appear in one large issue as soon as the strike was over. THE PRINCETON LIBRARY now numbers 672,639 volumes. During the past year 22,786 volumes were added. CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS 93 ALUMNI NOTES '80 ME—Howard F.
